[00:00] <arnducky> kimguru87, just use the Gnome (desktop) applet then.  I gave directions if you scroll back
[00:00] <maniaxmax> What is the channel for effects?
[00:00] <OldPink> MilitantPotato:Lights flashing away, disk usage isn't... filling, at all
[00:00] <NewBlue> MilitantPotato: I was in the unreal tournament 2004 linux install and I couldn't get passed the write permissions. The default was /user/stuff/thatIforogt
[00:00] <havoque> bulmer: man wget
[00:00] <OldPink> MilitantPotato:Can't see any files on the disk
[00:00] <MilitantPotato> OldPink: I'm not sure.
[00:00] <MilitantPotato> The HD light is going?
[00:00] <NewBlue> sorry MilitantPotato let me know when you are free
[00:00] <bulmer> havoque nothing there..that clue me to getting all the files
[00:00] <gcarrillo> if i plan on developing, is there some packages other than manpage-dev that I might want to get?
[00:01] <OldPink> MilitantPotato: Yeah, HD light blinking away
[00:01] <nesl247> How does one downgrade from one version to the next of ubuntu? (hardy -> gutsy) There are no major changes yet, so I'd rather just go back so I can use most of the software repos
[00:01] <havoque> you type in terminal man wget and you got nothing there?
[00:01] <gcarrillo> or is there some URL that describes how to get ready for developing?
[00:01] <MilitantPotato> OldPink: I'd hate to say kill it if it's still going.
[00:01] <bulmer> havoque no options..read what i typed
[00:02] <erUSUL> !downgrade | nesl247
[00:02] <ubotu> nesl247: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[00:02] <maniaxmax> My Compiz Fuzion splash screen used to be transparent but it isnt anymore, anyone know how to fix this?
[00:02] <havoque> when i type man wget i get tons of options and swithes to use with this command
[00:02] <Xenguy> havoque: a large man page :-)
[00:02] <nesl247> erUSUL: I'm positive the 10 packages I actually updated will not cause an issue. Is there really no way?
[00:02] <gcarrillo> hehe
[00:03] <gcarrillo> i heard that next release is codenamed hairy hardon
[00:03] <Xenguy> havoque: does this work:  wget dir/*
[00:03] <Xenguy> ?
[00:03] <OldPink> MilitantPotato:Kill it?
[00:03] <astro76> !hardy  | gcarrillo

[00:03] <gcarrillo> haha
[00:03] <ccg>  E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (1) on libc6

[00:03] <ccg>  how to fix this apt-get error ?
[00:03] <SeanTater> !pin | nesl247
[00:03] <ubotu> nesl247: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[00:04] <havoque> Xenguy yeah, 10 feet or so :) i don't know Xenguy, never used it hah
[00:04] <SeanTater> ubotu: you can use that to downgrade
[00:04] <Xenguy> bulmer: I thought I was talking to you :-)  Oh well, you're following anyway
[00:04] <SeanTater> oopa
[00:04] <amaia> SeanTater, didn't work...
[00:04] <SeanTater> amaia: :-|
[00:04] <Xenguy> havoque: heh
[00:04] <OldPink> MilitantPotato:There are two dd processes running, neither of which have any CPU usage
[00:04] <bulmer> Xenguy->  not I
[00:04] <maniaxmax> Can anyone help me with making my Compiz Fuzion splash screen start up transparent again?
[00:04] <amaia> SeanTater, i supose i have to do something to put this on the kernel
[00:04] <MilitantPotato> OldPink: yea it died.
[00:04] <z> is there a way to completely convert my ubuntu install to xubuntu?
[00:04] <OldPink> But what the hell is writing away to the drive?
[00:04] <Xenguy> bulmer: or not :-)
[00:04] <MilitantPotato> OldPink: Maybe it's done and you need to restart?
[00:04] <z> i can use apt to install xubuntu-desktop
[00:05] <z> what do I do to clean up gnome
[00:05] <OldPink> MilitantPotato:See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3680575#post3680575 - it tells you when it's done, and gives you transfer stats
[00:05] <havoque> z: don't have to clean it, a new xubuntu session will appear in gdm

[00:05] <emea> l

[00:06] <OldPink> If using dd to put image.raw on /dev/sda1 - does sda1 need to be mounted or unmounted specifically? Or will either work?
[00:06] <z> havoque, i feel like having everything just clutters things
[00:06] <OldPink> !list > emea
[00:06] <SeanTater> amaia: I don't think I'm desparate enough to rebuild my kernel over this..
[00:06] <z> plus i can no longer use my desktop area... IE: right clicking, setting background, etc. no longer works
[00:06] <havoque> this is not win, man
[00:06] <amaia> :d
[00:06] <zxc_> hey guys, what's the difference between linux-generic and linux-386 ? I have a pentium 4 dual-core , what would be more appropiate to use??
[00:07] <amaia> SeanTater, i am... my computer locks quite frequently with this...
[00:07] <OldPink> If using dd to put image.raw on /dev/sda1 - does sda1 need to be mounted or unmounted specifically? Or will either work?
[00:07] <z> my home/desktop folder is no longer on my desktop
[00:07] <gcarrillo> zxc_: the smp one?
[00:07] <astro76> zxc_, generic should always be used now
[00:07] <SeanTater> amaia: Well -- It's getting fairly late (in my time zone) and I have stuff to do -- gtg
[00:07] <Skeesh> how do I set up a system so another system can netboot off it? the directions on the wiki are over my head..
[00:07] <havoque> z: that's just a shortcut that you see on the desktop
[00:07] <zxc_> astro76: but nvidia-glx-new depends on linux-386
[00:08] <amaia> SeanTater, its midnight here too... thanks for your time!!!
[00:08] <OldPink> MilitantPotato: Fuck this, I'll kill it and perhaps give it another shot tomorrow
[00:08] <OldPink> Later
[00:08] <amaia> (the i/o just started to rise again)
[00:08] <z> havoque, is there a way to recreate said shortcuts
[00:08] <amaia> damn thing
[00:08] <jewbilee> how do i change the color/font of emacs?
[00:08] <arnducky> !o4o | OldPink
[00:08] <ubotu> OldPink: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics.

[00:12] <z> jrib, havoque: worked
[00:13] <los> a good timer or alarm program for ubuntu?
 thanx i have added cd rom to repos from gnome applet.thnx it solved my problem.
[00:13] <los> !alarm
[00:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alarm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:13] <havoque> follow the path, my friend, hope it was correct
[00:13] <jrib> zxc_: because you are not running the generic kernel probably... what does 'uname -r' return?
[00:13] <jrib> los: there is always cron and 'at'
[00:13] <jrib> !cron > los (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:13] <eikke_> hija
[00:14] <zxc_> jrib: I was running generic kernel , but then I apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and that installs 386 kernel
[00:14] <eikke_> I got this extremely irritating issue: lots of times when I boot ubuntu or the livecd, the next reboot my cdrom station is dead
[00:14] <havoque> z: come on man, what's taking you so long, i want to help somebody today :p
[00:14] <ToddEDM> please,, my nephew needs help..
[00:14] <Radio1> Please recycle your Microsoft products to your nearest green box: This has been a public service announcement.

[00:14] <jimjackson> How can I connect to a Windows share on my home network, in terminal (not nautilus) ??
[00:14] <jrib> zxc_: what does that command return at the moment?
[00:14] <Xenguy> Radio1: excellent
[00:15] <Radio1> loo
[00:15] <zxc_> jrib: 2.6.22-14-386 (it was -generic before rebooting)
[00:15] <mboman> I am on 7.04 at the moment, want to upgrade to 7.10. Problem is that I am on a laptop that I need to use for work so I wonder if I can just download the updates first and then install them when I have time? I got some really poor speeds from the local mirror (15k/s) while my Internet connection is pretty fast in general (12 Mbit, confirmed with speedtest.net)
[00:15] <z> havoque, i figured you were helping others
[00:15] <z> and i was on my own for this
[00:15] <zxc_> jrib: it was running generic before installing nvidia-glx-new, it seems there are no restricted drivers for 2.6.22-14 generic
[00:16] <blizzkid> mboman, get the iso from a different mirror?
[00:16] <pi3> I unintentionally removed /bin/bash, how can I restore it?

[00:16] <havoque> Radio1 can't do that, i can use only my first 15 partitions in Gutsy :(
[00:16] <z> havoque, I'll just putter around some more... and hit up google... something will work
[00:16] <humblerodent> Is it cool to mix-and-match the mess of typical four-pin connectors coming out of the power supply?
[00:16] <jrib> zxc_: you need to reboot and boot into the generic kernel.  Then install this stuff
[00:16] <humblerodent> what I mean is can I stick one into the case fan, and then forward the one from there onto a hard drive, etc.
[00:16] <mboman> blizzkid: upgrade from CDROM? My machine doesn't have a cdrom.. Installed from USB/Network last time...
[00:16] <humblerodent> (my first time building computer from scratch)
[00:16] <zxc_> jrib: I will try and let u know. thanks
[00:16] <Radio1> Forgiveness is for the next 24 hours.
[00:16] <Jessid> what is the problem with ubuntu 7.10 to read the usb ports? for example if I unplug an usb mouse and then I install it, it does not work...what is the problem?
[00:16] <havoque> z: try googling for "default desktop icons" in ubuntu, that's how i got ti
[00:16] <jrib> humblerodent: try #hardware
[00:17] <KalEl> what does the orange ring mean beside most packages in the synaptic package manager?
[00:17] <keen> how do i get avi, divx, etc files to play with mplayer?
[00:17] <humblerodent> thanks jrib
[00:17] <los> a good timer or alarm program for ubuntu?
[00:17] <jrib> humblerodent: oops, that should be ##hardware
[00:17] <blizzkid> mboman, you can install from an iso without burning it to cd. It's not really simple, but it works
[00:17] <astro76> KalEl, it means the package is in the main repository
[00:17] <humblerodent> jrib: my client figured it out :P or the server redirected me maybe
[00:17] <Fr4g0u7> how do I find out what sound driver I'm using?
[00:17] <KalEl> ok thanks astro76

[00:20] <revx> can anyone run adobe premier on ubuntu gutsy?
[00:20] <blizzkid> mboman, I always prefer to down the iso for an upgrade
[00:20] <Chamunks> Hey is there a way i can add a completely unprivileged guest user in ubuntu that only has write access to its own home directory?
[00:20] <NewBlue> Do I need to reinstall the program to work with wine?
[00:20] <mboman> blizzkid: how to upgrade from ISO if I don't have a CDROM?
[00:21] <Chamunks> when I think about doing this i think along the lines of chroot but i think im way off with that assumption

[00:21] <astro76> Chamunks, new users by default are not in admin group, so no sudo access
[00:21] <blizzkid> mboman, well... if you have a bit of time I'll explain it to you
[00:21] <arnducky> kimguru87, sure, in Synaptic just uncheck all the other sources under 'Settings' (menu) ->  'Repositories' , make sure your custom repo is there or click 'Add CDROM' then in the main window (left frame) select 'All' under filters, then under edit menu select 'select all' then click 'Apply'

[00:22] <blizzkid> mboman, type /join #blizz
[00:22] <zxc_> thanks jrib now i have nvidia and generic kernel running fine!!!!
[00:22] <Chamunks> astro76, ok i did that but now im trying to use this user to share an ssh network share and it can still read/write my storage drive when at most i want it  to only read
[00:22] <jrib> zxc_: great
[00:23] <jrib> gbw: you probably just want 'make' in linux...
[00:23] <zxc_> jrib: thanks a lot!... cya!!!
[00:23] <keen> can i get some help with codecs?
[00:23] <jrib> !codecs > keen (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:23] <keen> thanks jrib
[00:23] <astro76> Chamunks, so you have a storage drive mounted under /media with access for all users then, the way to fix this is to make the storage volume writable only to a group instead of all users
[00:23] <gbw> jrib, what is the different?
[00:24] <jrib> gbw: none
[00:24] <Jordan_U> jrib, Do you have a script that adds the "(read the private message from ubotu) part?
thank you very much for your help.
[00:24] <gbw> jrib, gmake is for unix?
[00:24] <Chamunks> astro76, fair enough i havent been able to get around to converting it to reiserfs or ext3 yet its still in ntfs can i just apply that setting to /media/WDSata320 ?
[00:24] <jrib> gbw: gmake is gnu make but that's just make on linux.  Right something like that.  On other systems, they will call it gmake
[00:25] <arnducky> YW
[00:25] <Chamunks> astro76, ok a better question would be if i can do that what group should i make it available to?
[00:25] <jrib> Jordan_U: /alias u say !$0 > $1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:25] <Chamunks> astro76, or groups
[00:25] <Jordan_U> jrib, Thanks
[00:25] <astro76> Chamunks, remove the user from plugdev should fix it actually, sorry
[00:25] <astro76> Chamunks, I think it's already set up so only plugdev members can write
[00:25] <SmileyChris> i kinda remember some shortcut commands for handling apache's sites-available/sites-enabled folders - anyone clue me in?
[00:26] <Chamunks> astro76, what other names would the group plugdev be listed as?
[00:26] <astro76> Chamunks, what do you mean, where are you looking?
[00:27] <jrib> SmileyChris: a2ensite?

[00:29] <jrib> _hopex: yes, many have
[00:29] <astro76> Chamunks, yeah that doesn't seem to show groups <100... if you click on a user and then properties, then user priveleges tab, uncheck the first one about external storage devices
[00:29] <tuxmaster1988> Hello, i have ubuntu 7.10 w/nvidia drivers and everytime i reboot it changes my resolution and refresh why does this happen?
[00:29] <BrightonGarish> If I only knew! New to Linux just added gimp but can't find the help to install would rather not use online help
[00:29] <Casey> How do I mass rename but keep a part of the filename? Ex: asdf?=video1.wmv, asdf?=video2.wmv asdf?=video3.wmv I want to remove asdf?= and keep everything after that saved.
[00:29] <_hopex> jrib: so I install it and make a VM for WinXP so I can use Win progs in it? Really?
[00:30] <jrib> _hopex: yep, you run windows in a window
[00:30] <Chamunks> astro76, its just a sata drive in ntfs its still plugged directly into the mobo just not in ext3 yet so maybe thats y that setting hasnt worked because i left this user with no special privileges
[00:30] <jrib> Casey: the 'rename' command
[00:30] <Casey> jrib: I know that but what parameters?
[00:31] <jrib> BrightonGarish: install gimp-helpbrowser and gimp-help-en
[00:31] <jrib> Casey: do you know regex?
[00:31] <_hopex> jrib: this sounds fantastic but, what about this files? libxerces27 libxalan110. Are they secure ?
[00:31] <Gatestone> Anyone know why my Dell touchpad sensitivity setting has no effect, its dummy (with gsynaptics)?

[00:32] <BrightonGarish> Thanks. Bye
[00:32] <mr_daniel> i am searching for a pdf-tool which is able to scale a pdf to e.g. 70%, which can i use to scale a pdf file?
[00:32] <_hopex> jrib: Ubuntu package installers advices me that they could have malicious code. Are they safe, how can I check?
[00:32] <tuxmaster1988> 1024x768@85hz (reports it as 56hz) and i reboot it goes to 1440x850@60hz
[00:33] <mr_daniel> on this page http://www.verypdf.com/pdfinfoeditor/resize-paper/resize.htm i have a tool named 'pdftools', but is this tool available or linux/ubuntu
[00:33] <BlaenkDenum> mr_daniel: as far as I know you could do that when you're viewing, or do you mean permanently
[00:33] <Jordan_U> mr_daniel, I assume you want it to modify the PDF file rather than just displaying it at 70% ?
[00:33] <jimjackson> How can I connect to a Windows share on my home network, in terminal (not nautilus) ??
[00:33] <jrib> Casey: well you could probably do something like (untested, but will just say what it will do unless you remove the -n):  rename -n 's/^asdf\?\=//' *

[00:40] <cr4a> how do i set it back to firefox?

[00:40] <Jordan_U> jmesquita, Have you already tried System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics? ( not that it seems to be working for many people )
[00:40] <_hopex> jrib: No problem, I just wanted to know about those warning files, anyway let me fibish installation...
[00:41] <jrib> cr4a: system -> preferences -> preferred applications
[00:41] <cr4a> jrib: that's set to firefox

[00:41] <ubotu> Tuxedo_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.

[00:41] <jrib> cr4a: what exactly is "all kinds of stuff"
[00:41] <cr4a> jrib: random things use opera, like realplayer, and some other stuff
[00:41] <_hopex> jrib: And I'm reading the license in case...
[00:42] <Jordan_U> jmesquita, Does it show that you are using the "intel" driver?
[00:42] <cr4a> jrib: oh, and sensible-browser opens opera

[00:44] <xipietotec> Tuxedo_, you can learn to do those things with any OS. Its a skillset that is not exactly OS dependent, but rather dependent on how much you like to prod applications and read obscure security journals. I suggest getting a CS degree and spending a life-time reading phrack and 2600.

[00:45] <jrib> _hopex: erm... what package did you grab exactly?  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads should not say that
[00:45] <sickclown> I mean sudo apt-get remove
[00:45] <jmesquita> Jordan_U: I see alot of complaints about the displayconf-gtk tool on the forum and on the launchpad
[00:45] <jrib> sickclown: now do sudo apt-get autoremove
[00:46] <xipietotec> sickclown, you want to remove mysql? Sudo aptitude purge mysql.
[00:46] <jmesquita> Jordan_U: Just give me a lead here, am I missing on the driver or on the app?
[00:46] <AcE> -
[00:46] <sickclown> thanks
[00:46] <_hopex> jrib: VirtualBox 1.5.2 for Linux Hosts: * Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon") i386 | AMD64
[00:46] <arnducky> sickclown, did you try sudo apt-get -remove mysql --force   ?
[00:46] <cdubya> are there any plans to fix the issue with the gutsy upgrade failure when using update manager?
[00:46]  * xipietotec hates that 90% of the guides are still reccomending apt-get, considering its depricated
 its not working on mine and 915 is pretty updated than i830m. all other effects are working except blur and water
[00:47]  * hashbrowncipher agrees with xipietotec and loves aptitude
[00:47] <xipietotec> hashbrowncipher, aptitude and smart :D
[00:47] <astro76> cdubya, have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com ?
[00:47] <niosop> I'm trying to run an interactive script via rc.local.  It's running and outputting correctly, but it's not waiting for input like it is supposed to, it just goes to the login prompt (which won't accept any input).  Any ideas?
[00:47] <_hopex> jrib: I should have downloaded the OSE ?
[00:47] <cdubya> astro76, not yet......
[00:47] <christi> how can I configure a service so that it won't start automatically at startup?
[00:47] <xipietotec> also note, dist-upgrade in aptitude is depricated now too. That's going to take some getting used to
[00:47] <astro76> cdubya, search for existing bugs, file one if one does not exist
[00:47] <jrib> _hopex: nope, I use the other one as well.  Where exactly are you reading this limit?
[00:48] <Pici> xipietotec: yes, but full-upgrade auto-completes in gutsy, woo.
[00:48] <Jordan_U> jmesquita, I am not sure that it is not a driver issue, but considering the problems most people are having with displayconfig-gtk it is likely that setting it up manually with xrandr and /or your xorg.conf would work, but that is not easy
[00:48] <Tuxedo_> why are we working on this OS when we can just use one that works already? dont you feel as though this is wasting time on something not so important? Or do you feel that this will be better?
[00:48] <arnducky> xipietotec, we're in #ubuntu RN, *not* #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:48] <_hopex> jrib: I read the limit in the license, wich says that it's for educational purposes etc...
[00:48] <cdubya> astro76, I'll have a look
[00:48] <xipietotec> arnducky, this is support related. =P
[00:48] <darren> jrib: I checked the documentation and it doesn't discuss how I get ubuntu to stop requiring a password for my ntfs partition?
[00:48] <jmesquita> Jordan_U: Yeah, Xinerama does not support intel or radeon anymore. I am a power user :)
[00:48] <jrib> _hopex: oh, I see.  I guess you are technically correct, but it is up to you to decide how long you want to evaluate it
[00:49] <kimguru87> anyone have idea that blur and water effect on compiz-fusion works with intel 830m chip
[00:49] <jrib> darren: did you use ntfs-config?
[00:49] <cached> what's the command for finding what's currently using alsa?
[00:49] <jmesquita> Jordan_U: Will do with xandr. Hope it gets my SVIDEO output too
[00:49] <_hopex> jrib: would there be any difference if I add the repository and install it by apt-get? How did you do that?
[00:49] <cached> some program seems to be using up alsa and i can't figure out what it is. how can i kill it/figure out what it is?
[00:50] <blizzkid> kimguru87, just try i t;)
[00:50] <Jordan_U> jmesquita, Note that your xorg.conf needs to be configured correctly for xrandr to work
[00:50] <darren> jrib: yes the only option that is available is "eable write support for external device" the other option is greyed out
[00:50] <jmesquita> Jordan_U: Indeed... Thats the harder part ... :)
[00:50] <cached> pls?
[00:50] <jrib> _hopex: difference would be update-manager will notify you of updates about virtualbox.  Join me in #ubuntu-classroom if you want to do that and the instructions there are not clear
[00:50] <jrib> darren: pastebin your /etc/fstab
[00:50] <Jessid> hello. Can anybody please  tell me what is the problem in ubuntu 7.10 that USB ports does not work correctly???????????
[00:51] <nadio> is there any version of ubuntu with is more adaptable for offline box use?
[00:51] <sickclown> I think it's gone because when I tried to remove it with the aptitude thing it didn't seem to be there
 i have tried but no succes. i was wondering if its my config error or hardware compatibility
[00:52] <gcarrillo> yes, yes y'all
[00:52] <sickclown> but when I check if it's running it is still listening
[00:52] <LjL-Temp> nadio: what do you mean? how is standard ubuntu "not adaptable" to it?
[00:52] <Taras> can anyone teach me how to use ettercap ?
[00:52] <blizzkid> kimguru87, I bet it's because it's intel ;)
[00:52] <cached> Jessid: they aren't auto detected when you plug them in after startup
[00:52] <gcarrillo> is there a way to make the volume have smaller discrete steps?
[00:52] <Javid> Hey, anyone good with grub? It's throwing me error 12

[00:52] <kcm> I need to stick with Dapper, but I need to use 2.6.15-51 - is there a guide to replacing the kernel the Dapper installer uses?  simply replacing vmlinuz/initrd.gz on the CD filesystem won't handle any modules.
[00:52] <Jessid> cached: ok, so how can i make ubuntu detect them manually????
[00:52] <darren> jrib: http://pastebin.com/m7b861d31       I'm a newbie, so I'm struggling through this right now.
[00:52] <gcarrillo> as i volume-up i dont hear sound until volume is halfway up, and then it gets loud pretty quickly from there?
[00:53] <Jessid> cached: or automatically, better, :)
[00:53] <jrib> darren: there is no ntfs drive on there.  Did you mark the checkbox for the drive in ntfs-config?
[00:53] <brooklynhype> can you change from ubuntu install to a kubuntu one?
[00:53] <niosop> jimjackson: sudo apt-get install smbfs, then sudo mount -t smbfs //<IP>/<share name> <mountpoint>

[00:55] <riotkittie> Javid: you may want to look at http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#12_
[00:55] <darren> jrib: I don't get that question.. the ONLY option that I have available to me is external device write support
[00:55] <darren> jrib: I can see from the help file you sent me that a step is being skipped for some reason
[00:55] <keen> does anyone know how to get deskbar to search more than one partition?
[00:56] <jrib> darren: pastebin output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and 'blkid'
[00:56] <Javid> riotkittie, I don't even get far enough for the directions there
[00:56] <Atomic_UE> in Feisty I used to have my volume sit at around 40% for normal sound, but now in Gutsy it usually sits at around 70% for normal sound and at 100% if I want a little bit of extra volume for a movie. All the appropriate volumes in the volume applet and alsamixer are up at 100% (except the main one I use to control the sound)
[00:56] <Jordan_U> keen, Set the mountpoint of the other partition as a directory for it to search
[00:57] <Jessid> cached: how can i make the usb ports to be detected???
[00:57] <keen> jordan_u, how do i do that?
[00:57] <kcm> anyone have an idea of how to replace the kernel *and* modules the dapper install CD uses?
[00:58] <Jordan_U> keen, System -> Preferences -> Indexing Preferences

[01:06] <christi> LjL, I've just looked at it, but .. it's not very helpful in the sense that I need to know the priority
[01:07] <G_Dragon> I have a question. For some reason, if I browse Firefox for a while, or use the GIMP or Blender for too long, my computer hangs up. I've been racking my brains as to why this happens. I tried using Ubunt 7.10 64 bit, then switched to i86, and the problems still occur. I'm stuck.
[01:07] <LjL> christi: if you just want the service to *not* start, it's just "remove"
[01:07] <christi> LjL, and then how do I restore it?
[01:07] <jrib> G_Dragon: ran memtest?
[01:07] <Taras> G-Dragon here is simple solution, buy or change PC
[01:07] <LjL> christi: i suspect that an APT reinstall will restore it, but i admit i don't remember trying that
[01:08] <G_Dragon> Tried that. Nothing seemed to pop up. And my computer worked when I was running 7.04.
[01:08] <bmk789> i have a megabit upstream connection and a full mirror of all the i386 & amd64 repositories, how many machines should i setup to use these repos to relieve ubuntu's servers from some bandwidth but not bog my connection down
[01:08] <bulmer> jo0m-> why do you need to insist on using nautilus if you want to search contents?  nautilus is not designed for that

[01:12] <blizzkid> bobby_, sudo apt-get install language-pack-en-base for english
[01:12] <LjL> bobby_, uhm, i think that "debsums" should list packages which are missing files, then you can "sudo apt-get --reinstall install" those
[01:12] <alpha232> jrib: yes,    431  apt-get purge asterisk-config
[01:13] <jrib> alpha232: 431?

[01:20] <jimjackson> LjL: http://pastebin.com/m7627049
[01:21] <noolness> every version of x-chat for a different operating system is usually quite a bit different than any other version...i always found the gnome / gtk+ version the most usable (wow that's a first ;) )

[01:24] <G_Dragon> Alright, so what would be the best steps I can take to try to find out why my computer crashes? All I really know is that this started when I upgraded to 7.10, use Firefox for a small length of time, and sometimes the mouse cursor doesn't get frozen or if I press a key I get maybe a second of music before it just completely freezes.
[01:24] <alpha232> jrib: should i go ahead and try to re-install
[01:24] <jrib> alpha232: check if /etc/asterisk still exists
[01:24] <alpha232> jrib: nope, does not exist
[01:25] <svu> is there xorg 7.3 repository for gutsy?

[01:26] <tictacaddict> I'm trying to resize a Vista NTFS partition using GParted, and windows chkdsk is taking forever.   can I just ignore the fileystem error and resize it anyway? or fix it from the live cd?
[01:26] <jrib> alpha232: dpkg -l '*asterisk*'     show any asterisk packages with config files or still installed?
[01:26] <szkud> tictacaddict: fix it from the live cd
[01:26] <tictacaddict> szkud how might I do that?
[01:27] <szkud> just reboot with the live cd
[01:27] <alpha232> jrib: they either show as Purged or Unknown, all show as Not installed
[01:27] <szkud> and use partition editor
[01:27] <RandomUsr> could anyone help me set up my soundcard?

[01:28] <tictacaddict> szkud: what I mean is, I tried to resize the partition from the livecd, but it says there is a problem with the partition and that I should run chkdsk /f
[01:28] <HHP2K> Hey everyone, little bit of a problem I need help with - my ubuntu machine won't let me log in because the disk is full and it can't write the GDM config file.

[01:29] <alpha232> jrib: but it would be nice of they have a fsckitall setting
[01:29] <szkud> tictacaddict:  ah. have you booted into windows since then?
[01:31] <tictacaddict> szkud: yes, windows boots up fine, and doesn't seem to have any problem.  I scheduled a disk check for the next reboot, and it runs chkdsk, but it stops at 1%.  Maybe I just need to wait a long time, but I am wondering if there is something else I can try
[01:32] <jimmy-nokernel> is there a shell command to identify what bios i have
[01:32] <xiven> hello?
[01:32] <temp1234> does anyone know if usb hard drives are affected by the load cycle issue; you cannot hdparm these drives, but would they be affected by firmware since they are usb and not directly controlled by the bios?
[01:32] <xiven> what is Job Control?
[01:32] <szkud> tictacaddict:  if you haven't yet already, 'chkdsk /f' otherwise that's beyond me.
[01:33] <szkud> :colbert:
[01:34] <tictacaddict> szkud: alright, thanks.
[01:34] <szkud> no problem

[01:44] <tekteen> does anyone know howto make the ubuntu cd work with qemu
[01:44] <emmajane> thedarkfreak, if that doesn't work: try going to system -> preference -> sound, then click the sounds tab and at the bottom, it should allow you to switch sound cards.
[01:44] <FluxD> tekteen: under windows?
[01:44] <thedarkfreak> ok
[01:44] <tekteen> no
[01:44] <tekteen> linux
[01:44] <tekteen> I am testing homebrew install cds
[01:45] <emmajane> thedarkfreak, also within alsamixer, you can check to see if the card is muted. Scroll over (right arrow key) to where your card is listed and try pressing "M" for mute.
[01:47] <ePax> Which program is good for making webpages?

[02:15] <Azzco> Milkinator: Where did you copy the installer?
[02:15] <CubeXombi> RandomXusr: yeah but you're probably works like it should not when it wants to

[02:16] <logon> mp3: My recomendation dont use cygwin, its verry buggy
[02:16] <Milkinator> Azzco: what is wrong with this line: cd linus-installer.sh | sudo sh linux-installer.sh

[02:18] <RandomXUsr> axd45, did you get that?
[02:18] <CubeXombi> tekteen yup
[02:18] <bloony> cleaton: the installation just stops at 94% and quits the install windows
[02:18] <Chamunks> what arguements should i use to only update changed chunks of files with rsync
[02:18] <axd45> Random, I'll give it a try, but i'll have to go to a friends to download
[02:18] <tekteen> have u tried it manualy
[02:18] <cleaton> it did the same when you used the alternate bloony ?
[02:18] <Milkinator> ill pick this up tomorrow
[02:18] <tekteen> sudo ifconfig IFACE up
[02:18] <CubeXombi> tekteen: my last attempt yeah, didn't work out too great
[02:19] <tekteen> ok
[02:19] <RandomXUsr> axd45, thatś kewl but make sure you download instructions for editing xorg.conf just in case
[02:19] <axd45> Random, I'm getting as far as "running local bootscripts (/etc/rc.local)" if that helps you any
[02:19] <RandomXUsr> axd45 youĺl also want to know the exact model of you monitor
 I am trying :-(
[02:19] <LjL> jewbilee: /etc/fstab
[02:19] <RandomXUsr> axd45, try the alternate cd first then weĺl go from there
[02:20] <cleaton> gnurph69, commandline vnc? you mean like ssh?
[02:20] <CubeXombi> tekteen, s'all good, in all sences .. it "works" just not right
[02:20] <axd45> random, thanks for the help
[02:20] <RandomXUsr> axd45, no problem
[02:20] <gnurph69> cleaton, I am SSH'ed into the server and have VNC server running - but when I connect using VNC, it doesn't seem to be logged in and I can't get a login screen.
[02:20] <bloony> cleaton: no.. its continue past 94% but then its a new screen where it cant get further.. and I think its when it install x.. cause it ask me about screen resolution just befor it halts
[02:20] <RandomXUsr> CubeXombi, what wireless card do you have?
[02:21] <cleaton> gnurph69, ok, i do know there are a couple of vnc servers in the repo, haven't used anyone of them though so can't help much
[02:21] <LjL> tekteen: qemu create Ubuntu_Virtual_HD ; qemu -boot d -cdrom Ubuntu.iso -hda Ubuntu_Virtual_HD
[02:21] <logon> ok, is there a gui front end to configure/set up samba???
[02:21] <gnurph69> is there anyone else out there savvy with VNC?
[02:22] <gnurph69> thank you, then, cleaton.
[02:22] <albertmk> Ubuntu has serious problems. It is really bad supported on Toshiba A135-S4407
[02:22] <RandomXUsr> logon search synaptic package manager
[02:22] <pagan0ne> hey everybody, any one have any expirence running ubuntu off of a usb pen drive? im trying to get the nvidia drivers up, but it doesnt seem to want to work
it's a tew-421pc with an rt8185 chipset, ndiswrapper shows it "should" be ok
they are a pain..
[02:22] <RandomXUsr> albertmk, itś not bad at all, itś a matter of getting everything set up
[02:22] <amrcidiot> hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu (on live cd now) I've deleted my other partition of it and i need to make a new one. i need help. there is a "use as" option. what do i set it to? "ext 2, ext.3, etc....?"also, then what would my mount point be?
[02:22] <logon> Random: I did but it looks like its installed (gnu system-tools)...???
[02:23] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: well i install it all, but then it doesnt seem to have the kernel modules installed, almost like i cant write to kernel space???
[02:23] <bloony> cleaton: ?
[02:24] <cleaton> bloony, the halting seems weird. you're running out of diskspace or something? well the networking is done in the begining of the alternate cd. so if you get to commandline you could try to remove the ubuntu cd from the apt source list and try and download the missing packages using apt
[02:24] <acu> I want to buy a PDA mobile phone - is anything which runs on linux open source software?
[02:24] <shnastybiznastic> so my ubuntu box  keeps getting disconnected from my local samba share, only when it does, I can't unmount it and remount it, it says that the device is in use
[02:24] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: have you installed ubuntu to a usb pen drive?
[02:24] <shnastybiznastic> any ideas?
 any modules will give you trouble unless installed first. I use reconstructor to make my drives, before creating the iso you can chroot in and mess around in console
[02:24] <bloony> cleaton: wheres the source list located again?
[02:24] <amrcidiot> anyone know?
[02:24] <cnawan> gnurph69: do your server and client ports match? perhaps you could try telnetting to the vnc server port to test connectivity
[02:24] <HHP2K> Hey guys.. I need to delete a file from within my hard drive through the Live CD because Ubuntu won't let me log in (disk too full). But I can't delete files on the drive from the Live CD because I don't have permission to. How do I get permissions set to do this?
[02:24] <CubeXombi> panan0ne.. way too many times
[02:25] <gnurph69> cnawan:  VNC connects, that's not a problem.  the problem is i can't log in once VNC connects.  I get a background screen and zip else.
[02:25] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: any good tutorials? or better yet, do you have any image avalable i could burn with just a basic kubuntu package installed.... xterm,firefox, compiz, and nvidia drivers installed aswell?
[02:25] <cleaton> bloony, /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:25] <acu> HHP2K - you can log in as root - clean the user space logout from root
[02:26] <bloony> k
[02:26] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: also is there any way to get x to pick which drivers to use, based on wether there is a nvidia card installed or otherwise?
[02:26] <cnawan> gnurph69: ooh wacky.. can't say I'm familiar with that problem
[02:26] <shnastybiznastic> the reason I ask here as opposed to #samba is that slackware and debian both cope fine
unfortunately i don;t all my stuff is embedded with Cisco VPN stuff that i can't really have floating around,
[02:26] <HHP2K> acu: What do you mean? :\
[02:27] <Chamunks> In rsync is there a way to remove files in the destination that have been deleted from the source?
[02:27] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: i understand, well any good how-to's on how to make it work and chroot and all as thats above my head at this point
[02:27] <keegangrayson> has anyone had experience running World Community Grid on ubuntu?
[02:27] <koshari> morph, you said it stopped after an upgrade 2 weeks ago,
[02:28] <IdleOne> keegangrayson: is that a Boinc project?
[02:28] <rathel> 7.10 Seems to freeze alot more than 7.04 for me how do I see what's causing these freezes?
 as far as drivers are concerned at every reboot they are going to tear them selves apart. it's the downside of live(even w/persistance) that and you can't mount certain Filesytems
[02:28] <Morph> about a month ago
[02:28] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: what do you mean tear themselves apart?
[02:28] <ArrPirate> where would be the best place to get help setting up a simple nautilus script using nautilus actions?
[02:29] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: what would happen if i just installed to the usb stick asif it were a normal harddrive?
[02:29] <cleaton> rathel, you could check /var/log/messages
[02:29] <dhamma> anyone know of an ftp client that i can use tor with?  i don't think gftp will, unless i have it configured wrong
well basically it's 2 parts .. if you are booting with persistance, all will be fine and dandy untill you restart, syslinux/Grub will only boot the generic kernel initially,
installing is as normal may "kill" your drive if you believe the hype, however, the only issue is you won't really have a "portable" os if you start adding modules that will break once plugged into the machine it wasn't intended for
[02:31] <CubeXombi> pagan0ne - referring to the limited writestates
[02:32] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: ok, but a oob install should work pretty well, aslong as i keep the modules to a minimum...
[02:32] <pawan> hi
[02:32] <pawan> how to automatically login
[02:32] <acu> HHP2K: when you log in you can enable yourself to log in as root - that will allow you to log in - then you can delete some files from the home of the user which does not allow you because of the full hard disk
[02:32] <heguru> pawan: System -> Administration -> Login Window -> Security
won't hurt, but you may need to phsyically disable your local HDD while performing the initial install
[02:32] <cnawan> dhamma: any cli one with torify? or any gui one with socks proxy support (if I remember correctly)
[02:33] <pawan> there is no such option
[02:33] <shnastybiznastic> I would kill the process using the devices, but I don't know how to tell what's using them
[02:33] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: thats not a problem, i can disable it in bios
[02:33] <heguru> pawan: what version are you using?
[02:33] <pawan> 7.10
[02:33] <pawan> gutsy
[02:33] <koshari> so you were running gutsy in > rc1? or you did system upgrade?
[02:33] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: now, do you know of any way to get nvidia drivers working in that situation in such a way as they work as normal when the machine has a nvidia card, but when it doesnt, it falls back to vesa or the correct driver for the card?
[02:33] <IdleOne> I have a .jar file how do I execute it to install the application?
 perfect, it "should" work I've run into people doing it this way, and did it with a USB HDD, though I stick with the normal method for USB flash drives
[02:33] <pawan> system upgrade
[02:34] <heguru> pawan: click at System then Login Window, then click at Security tab and Check the "Enable Automatic Login"
[02:34] <keegangrayson> IdleOne: yeah
[02:34] <heguru> pawan: system then Administration then Login Window
[02:34] <Vich> heya guys
[02:34] <LinuxInside> Vich: hi
[02:34] <koshari> idleonline,. "java /path/to/.jar
[02:34] <IdleOne> keegangrayson: have you installed the boinc client and boinc manager from repos?
[02:34] <pagan0ne> CubeXombi: well what im trying to do is install Kubuntu to the pendrive, and i kinda would like the nvidia drivers so i can get compiz working on machines where its supported... to kinda wow people
 that would be a little beyond my capabilities though I'm sure there's gotta be a way to script it..
[02:35] <IdleOne> koshari: ty
[02:35] <keegangrayson> IdleOne: I can't find the boinc client, which repos is it in?
[02:35] <pawan> there is no login window option in the menu
[02:35] <Vich> can anyone tell me what the purpose of the keyring manager is?
[02:35] <keegangrayson> IdleOne: the boinc manager is in the add/remove
[02:35] <IdleOne> !info boinc | keegangrayson
[02:35] <ubotu> keegangrayson: Package boinc does not exist in gutsy
[02:35] <CubeXombi> pagan)ne, I've personnally just left it at installing compiz and NOT enabling it at boot..
[02:35] <Vich> !info keyring manager
[02:35] <ubotu> Package keyring does not exist in gutsy
[02:35] <ArrPirate> is anyone here familiar with nautilus?
[02:35] <keegangrayson> hmm
[02:35] <IdleOne> keegangrayson: gimme a sec
[02:35] <Vich> !ubotu keyring manager
[02:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring manager - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:35] <keegangrayson> IdleOne: k
[02:35] <Vich> ncurses
[02:35] <heguru> pawan: are you using KDE or GNOME?
[02:35] <dhamma> cnawan: can you or anyone else recommend a gui ftp client that uses socks proxy?
[02:36] <shnastybiznastic> I already killed both instances of mount.smbfs that were running
[02:36] <Vich> my problem is that upon boot the keyring manager always asks for my password
[02:36] <LinuxInside> GFTP
[02:36] <Vich> it's very irritating
[02:36] <pawan> kde
[02:36] <Vich> then my wireless also asks for my password
[02:36] <Vich> I thought the keyring manager was supposed to remember my wireless key
[02:36] <LinuxInside> dhamma:GFTP u can try it
[02:37] <Vich> and maybe not prompt me for a password all the time, since that is counter-productive
[02:37] <CubeXombi> pagan0ne - many machines at my office only have their Onboard VGA and i've had no major issues with compiz running on them, Like i said though, I don't mess with drivers too muc on my drives
[02:37] <IdleOne> keegangrayson: the packages are boinc-client and boinc-manager and both are in universe repo
[02:37] <heguru> Vich: to prevent Keyring manager from prompting for the password, install the package: libpam-gnome-keyring
[02:37] <heguru> pawan: then i don't know, Login Window is for GDM
[02:37] <keegangrayson> IdleOne: k, one sec, checking

 no sweat, you may want to take a look at reconstructor though. it's pretty sweet at letting you customize the CD before you make it into a drive

[02:40] <heguru> Vich: ok first, for libpam-gnome-keyring to work your Login password and your default keyring password should be the same

[02:40] <Vich> they are indeed
[02:41] <Vich> but I have set up auto-login

[02:41] <dhamma> cnawan: ok...i'll have a look
[02:41] <CubeXombi> is anyone good with half-working wireless? drivers are installed and "apear" to be working correctly, heck last night i was able to surf. today.. nothing
[02:41] <darkangel> i have a virizon phone that i can use as a modem in windoze how to i get it to work in xubuntu
[02:41] <heguru> Vich: oh, hmm that might actually be the problem, I am not sure if libpam-keyring and autologin work together
[02:41] <Vich> interesting
[02:42] <Vich> I'll test that theory
[02:42] <Vich> one moment
[02:42] <noolness> i find it a bit odd that csound isn't ported over to 64bit yet

[02:47] <Shaymis> nah, it's ok
[02:47] <RandomUsr> ok, but if you past here only post the line with the wireless card

[02:49] <Vich> it prompted me
[02:50] <Vich> I entered it
[02:50] <Vich> I logged out
Device Manager, just scroll to your usb and it should have a tree view of any connections
[02:50] <Vich> I logged in and it was fine
[02:50] <heguru> Vich: if its prompting for wireless password, I would suggest deleting your keyrings (System -> Administration -> Keyring Manager)
[02:50] <Vich> I just did that heguru
[02:50] <Vich> but I have to restart to verify ;)
[02:50] <Vich> or maybe kill everything
[02:50] <RandomUsr> CubeXombi you may want to try Madwifi
[02:50] <darkangel> in xbuntu how do i remove drive shortcuts like the floppy
[02:50] <alesan> CubeXombi: as I am using KDE, how do I access the device manager?
[02:51] <Vich> may as well try it now
good question, (gnome user)
[02:51] <alesan> CubeXombi: :)
Yeah i was looking at that.. I'm not sure why it's not working. you could see that it "should" though, and I'm not crazy right?

[02:54] <ubotu> darkangel: 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
[02:54] <RandomUsr> CubeXombi, remember that Ndiswrapper simply provides a Fake Set of WIN32 APIś for the driver to work then describes that functionality to linux

[02:57] <CyberMad> does xmms can play audio-cd ?
[02:57] <heguru> RickJones: you will need extra codecs from medibuntu (http://www.medibuntu.org/)
[02:58] <RickJones> heguru medibuntu even though i'm only using gnome? on 7.10 ?
[02:59] <juanbond> does anyone use xchat-gnome?
[02:59] <heguru> RickJones: medibuntu is not a version of ubuntu, its just codecs to add to ubuntu, those codecs cannot be part of main repositories due to legal issues

[02:59] <_hopex> I am using A Virtual Box, i have just installed it. How can I copy from or to the virtual "C:" drive?
[02:59] <vulcanius> juanbond, i did, but it's got alot of bugs
[02:59] <kahrytan> CubeXombi, actually I tried to change the upsplash but it failed. now I cant get it back to ubuntu usplash
[02:59] <Tarkus> anyone know how to make windows open in the center? because they always open at the top left.. (it does this in all the distro's and window managers i've used).. any idea?
[02:59] <juanbond> How can I specify a port for a server?
[02:59] <heguru> juanbond: what server?
[02:59] <pawan> how to install video codecs
[03:00] <RickJones> heguru, as long as i don't have to pay. kinda defeats the purpose of 'open source' ;)
[03:00] <Mait> juanbond: dcc file transfer?
[03:00] <csc`> _hopex: configure the sharing folders. (You must have the guest tools installed for it to work)
[03:00] <Mait> juanbond: You mean, port forwading for dcc?
[03:00] <_hopex> csc`:  even in the virtual box?
[03:00] <heguru> RickJones: those are free :), but might not be legal unless you own a copy of windows or Mac or some other software where you are legally allowed to use those codecs
[03:00] <csc`> _hopex: ...you need the tools installed on the virtual OS
[03:01] <christopher> quick question how do i make an iso in ubuntu 7.04

[03:01] <RickJones> heguru i 'own' several flavors of windows, i just choose not to use them.
[03:01] <noolness> open source isn't really about being free ultimately...
[03:01] <christopher> you dont own windows
[03:01] <christopher> read the eula
[03:01] <christopher> microsoft owns them
[03:01] <robert_> I'm trying to upgrade to Gutsy btw
[03:01] <christopher> u just rent them
Ahh.. you can try sudo apt-get install –reinstall usplash
[03:02] <RickJones> christopher, i purchased a LEGAL copy of the software, and there fore i have the rights issued to me under the agreement.
[03:02] <noolness> you have a license to use them in the manner specified by microsoft
[03:02] <kahrytan> CubeXombi, Actually, I tried sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu
[03:02] <RickJones> was just freakign easier to say i ownd a copy , jesus man
[03:02] <kahrytan> CubeXombi,  and i got Using `/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so' to provide `usplash-artwork.so'
[03:02] <osxdude> UbuntuPwns
[03:02] <osxdude> :D
[03:02] <RickJones> i'll come back when the windows lovers aren't here
[03:02] <christopher> you rented them until the next version of windows is out and once the version is killed you "Must upgrade"
[03:02] <noolness> but microsoft's license (and most other licenses) extend way beyond what law at least in the united states allows...so in court it could mean less
[03:02] <kahrytan> osxdude,  then dont use osx
[03:02] <UbuntuPwns> hi osxdude :D
[03:02] <osxdude> lol
[03:02] <CubeXombi> <kahrytan Fun! it's replacing what you had with what you had
[03:03] <osxdude> UbuntuPwns #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:03] <Mait> juanbond: is that IRC server?
[03:03] <christopher> and they retain the right to come and seize the computer it is installed upon
[03:03] <homeskillit> is it bad to run in failsafe all the time?
[03:03] <christopher> microsoft is evil
[03:03] <kahrytan> CubeXombi, Actually, i tried the !usplash wiki and it didnt work
[03:04] <christopher> and you have no rights when you work within windows
[03:04] <juanbond> Mait: goto preferences -> networks -> edit -> servers .. if i put in irc.myserver.com, where or how should i put in a port number?
[03:04] <CubeXombi> apt-get install - -reinstall usplash?
[03:04] <kahrytan> CubeXombi, It didnt say that
[03:04] <CubeXombi> <kahrytan with the extra -
[03:04] <christopher> how do i make an iso in feisty?
[03:04] <noolness> for a home user, microsoft can't realistically sieze your computer no matter what you do.
[03:04] <juanbond> is someone having boot issues with usplash?
[03:04] <noolness> the police would laugh in their faces
[03:04] <christopher> according to the eula they can
[03:05] <noolness> you can write anything you want in a EULA or licensing agreement
[03:05] <heguru> christopher: mkisofs
[03:05] <noolness> it doesn't make it legal
[03:05] <christopher> ty
[03:05] <CubeXombi> <kahrytan my google fu is running weak, but these I'm pulling from a comments section
[03:05] <christopher> if you agree to a eula you sign digitally to the contract

nah .. custom usplash gone crappy,
[03:05] <christopher> he explained it to me
[03:06] <christopher> it was my crossing point to linux
[03:06] <juanbond> ahhh. check
[03:06] <heguru> !ot
[03:06] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:06] <idontbelieveit> microsoft is basic n smart, majority is with windows ... period
[03:06] <Mait> juanbond: maybe like irc.server.org:0000 ?
[03:06] <homeskillit> gutsy default gnome is too slow so I run in failsafe and everything seems fine?
i take it you've had a run in with a black screen recently too
[03:06] <christopher> idk if the majority will stick with windows it will either be mac or linux
[03:06] <brado> idontbelieveit, I wouldn't say smart.
[03:06] <noolness> yes but in the US there has never been a law suit conserning a license issue that wasn't settled outside of court yet...but let me stop, since thta is a bit off topic
[03:07] <christopher> there are hoards of linux converts
[03:07] <idontbelieveit> its smart not genius
[03:07] <christopher> the french parlament
[03:07] <christopher> thats the whole government of france
[03:07] <juanbond> CubeXombi: yes, my boot screen hasn't worked since i did a clean install of gutsy.
[03:07] <juanbond> i guess it might be a problem with fglrx
[03:07] <BorisYaltsin> hey, is there some weird firewall that gets enabled when the wireless is on?
[03:07] <christopher> ya gutsy seems to mess alot up for me too
[03:07] <CubeXombi> jaunbond then aren't you lucky
[03:07] <christopher> i have an ati
[03:07] <christopher> and a wifi card
[03:07] <CubeXombi> <juanbond http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42883/
[03:08] <christopher> both get hosed if i upgrade
[03:08] <sirjoebob> I had sticky windows working with 7.04 but cant get any windows to appear on all desktops with 7.10 .... anyone have this same issue or have any solutions???
[03:08] <heguru> BorisYaltsin: unless you install a firewall, there is no firewall enabled by default
[03:08] <dguedes> Hi people! I have my ubuntu in 7.04 version... but the version 7.10 is available... anyone has upgraded it on-line?
[03:08] <noolness> gutsy works fine for me, other than not being able to detect my video card during the install, so i have to use safe graphics mode, and the brightness control not working on my nvidia card / thinkpad setup
[03:08] <osxdude> dguedes I haven't upgraded either
[03:09] <juanbond> CubeXombi: is that a fix for my boot screen issue?
[03:09] <Achoth> dguedes: Yep
[03:09] <BorisYaltsin> heguru, k, how do I check that? I didn't install one on purpose. It's weird though, because when I use wireless I can't get on irc and some other high ports, but in vista it works fine.
[03:09] <CubeXombi> <juanbond yup
[03:09] <christopher> i have problem i need ndiswrapper as the linux version of the driver for my wifi card doesnt work
[03:09] <sirjoebob> I had sticky windows working with 7.04 but cant get any windows to appear on all desktops with 7.10 .... anyone have this same issue or have any solutions???
[03:09] <juanbond> i'll give it a try, thanks CubeXombi :)
[03:09] <dguedes> Achoth, works all fine?
[03:09] <christopher> i might stay with 7.04 until 8.04
[03:09] <CubeXombi> juanbond no prob..
[03:09] <homeskillit> I installed the new ati drivers and I think that might have something to do with the slowness
[03:09] <heguru> BorisYaltsin: on the terminal type: sudo iptables -L
[03:09] <UbuntuPwns> christopher, me too, im not impressed with Gutsy
[03:09] <christopher> 7.10 offers me really little
[03:09] <BorisYaltsin> heguru, and look for what?
[03:10] <christopher> 7.04 blew me away
[03:10] <heguru> BorisYaltsin: if you see more than 6 lines (excluding blanks) then you might have a firewall
[03:10] <christopher> then 7.10 was kinda like a flop
[03:10] <Achoth> dguedes: Yep :P
[03:10] <dguedes> christopher, I've see little changes...
[03:10] <osxdude> Achoth, really?
[03:10] <christopher> gnome 2.20 is my favorite thing
[03:10] <xiven> achoth?
[03:10] <christopher> but not enough to make me upgrade
[03:10] <Achoth> osxdude: Yeah, should it not?
[03:10] <dguedes> so i've decided do not upgrade yet..
[03:11] <Achoth> xiven: Yeah?
[03:11] <Achoth> dguedes: Why is that?
[03:11] <osxdude> Achoth On the upgrade to 6.10 to 7.04 wasn't too good
[03:11] <christopher> lol wow why not just do a clean install
[03:11] <Achoth> osxdude: Well, 7.04-7.01 was no problems :)
[03:11] <xiven> achoth> Do you know how to fix linux not finding the Job Control?
[03:11] <dguedes> thanks all...
[03:12] <osxdude> Cool, I'll consider it, Achoth
[03:12] <christopher> its all good 8.04 will own i hope
[03:12] <Achoth> xiven: No, sorry
[03:12] <_hopex> bye bye
[03:12] <Achoth> Cya
[03:12] <christopher> i see 8.04 as the distro to get the most hype
[03:13] <christopher> i just dont get why linux hasnt really cought on
[03:13] <christopher> it makes no sense why microsoft still is number 1
[03:13] <Scunizi> It's getting there.
[03:13] <christopher> ya too slow for me
[03:13] <christopher> lol
[03:13] <frederick85> How do i install JSP on ubuntu
[03:13] <Achoth> christopher: The reason is obvious
[03:13] <christopher> not really
[03:13] <christopher> i dont see why
[03:13] <Achoth> christopher: It's like communism
[03:13] <NeoTubNinja> ppl dont wanna change
[03:13] <NeoTubNinja> thats why
[03:14] <Achoth> Micro$oft is smart
[03:14] <xiven> Does anyone know if Job Control is something within the core of linux>
[03:14] <Achoth> They managed to fool the entire world to buy their crap.
[03:14] <christopher> then why do they upgrade with every windows version
[03:14] <riotkittie> ya srsly. i dont get it either. its not like ms os'es are preinstalled on 99.3% of computers.
[03:14] <christopher> right
[03:14] <Achoth> They do, as Lenin did, abuse the peoples ignorance to reach teh top
[03:14] <christopher> which is fine
[03:14] <andresj> hello, I recently upgraded to kubuntu gutsy, and now kvm is not working (it opens, but then it just hangs up the machine). I am using the linux-rt kernel, which might be the problem (but I used this kernel--well actually, I used the lowlatency one--with kubuntu feisty and it worked well). Any suggestions as to what I should do?
[03:14] <viator> if it aint broke dont fix it doesnt really apply if it works (even half as$ed) people will still use it because they are ignorant and lazy
[03:15] <christopher> alot of people i know now know about linux just dont wanna change...?
[03:15] <christopher> even tho they can get the money back for the install of windows
[03:15] <Achoth> christopher: I find it rather immoral >_>
[03:15] <juanbond> CubeXombi: Worked great! Thanks!
[03:15] <christopher> they refuse to change
[03:15] <riotkittie> maybe they dont feel the need to change.
[03:15] <NeoTubNinja> i dont like em any better than you do, but to be fair 90% of the world is actually retarded
[03:15] <christopher> i try to tell people how great it is
no sweat.. i was getting tired of 6 minute boots myself.
[03:15] <NeoTubNinja> 50% barely know where the power switch is to their computer
[03:15] <riotkittie> linux isnt for everyone, and people who arent interested shouldnt be forced to try it.
[03:15] <christopher> no viri or spyware
[03:15] <christopher> kinda of a lie
[03:15] <Achoth> They think Windows is "standard", nothing can be better
[03:15] <christopher> but true
[03:15] <juanbond> :)
[03:16] <Scunizi> christopher: but they probably see you as a geek and with loads more computer savy than them.
[03:16] <rokey> hey buddy
[03:16] <nixn0ob> how do i get removable media to stop mounting on my desktop?
[03:16] <Achoth> I actually wrote an article about it, many have personally thanked me for informing them :)

[03:16] <oz_> hi, can some1 please tell me how to change how to change where grub reads its menu.lst file ?
[03:17] <kahrytan> who
[03:17] <Vich> oz_, why would you want to change that?
[03:17] <Ashfire908> oz_: i don't think you can
[03:17] <christopher> you can make a new menu.lst and rename the old one to menu.old
[03:17] <Geoffrey2> for the time being, I still dual boot, though I find myself spending more time in Ubuntu than Windows
[03:17] <christopher> only way i know how
[03:17] <Ashfire908> oz_, also, what Vich said
[03:17] <rokey> my laptop met problam ,anyone can help me ? error is http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?t=85935&highlight=     when i make alsa driver
[03:17] <kahrytan> CubeXombi,  the last command in pastebin worked fawlessly
[03:18] <riotkittie> i suppose you could symlink but...  why?
[03:18] <christopher> ya looking at all the config files it is easier to just make a new menu.lst
[03:18] <christopher> and rename the old one to menu.old
[03:18] <Ashfire908> rokey, you built the alsa driver for your comp?
[03:18] <christopher> you would have to change like 30 lines of code
[03:18] <CubeXombi> kahrytan: yeah i've been seeing alot of people with laptops recently with that issue.
[03:18] <Geoffrey2> folks, I'm trying to modify my menu.lst by adding hpet=disable as a default kernel option..not sure where to place it in the file, or what the syntax should be....
[03:18] <kahrytan> CubeXombi,  it
[03:19] <kahrytan> CubeXombi,  its not display issue though. i got desktop w/ crt
[03:19] <Ashfire908> lol i think oz_ 's connection died
[03:19] <rokey> Ashfire908:yup and i have build an old one ,but i put  it on Desktop, then i want to make a newer one .  sorry for my english
[03:20] <Ashfire908> rokey, why didn't you just use the one that was preinstalled?
 from what i gather, during the install somethig reports the wrong optimal resolution, and gusty uses it.. thankfully a fairly eay fix
[03:20] <oz_> Vich, currently I have Elive installed on one partition, and Ubuntu on another. Elive was installed latest so GRUB reads it's menu.lst, but if I erase the partition with elive, I also erase the location of grub
[03:20] <oz_> I hope it's understood what I want to do...
[03:20] <oz_> Ashfire908,  I m still here
[03:20] <rokey> Ashfire908: i deleted it :<
[03:20] <Ashfire908> oz_, you got a buch of lag or something

[03:21] <oz_> Ashfire908, what ???
[03:21]  * Ashfire908 has to do that once in a while
[03:22]  * Ashfire908 was being weird
[03:22] <rokey> Ashfire908: what can i do then?
[03:22] <christopher> i need to learn synaptic it before asking sorry for the waste of server space on such a stupid question
[03:22] <Ashfire908> rokey, you could reinstall the driver
[03:22] <andresj> oz_, you can use grub-install --root-directory
[03:22] <christopher> wow i feel such a n))b
[03:23] <viator> u must have an older version of ubuntu to need to add hpet=disable
[03:23] <ArrPirate> grrr
[03:23] <viator> try upgrading the kernel

[03:34] <Pat_the_Pat> Scunizi : why ?
[03:34] <t35t0r> Bonster, if you're not worried about your system or drives being stolen just chmod 700 the directory and use some strange dirs like alt+255
[03:34] <csc`> dmakalsky: try and use it as a mass storage device?
[03:34] <dmakalsky> csc`, nothing official?
[03:34] <Scunizi> Pat_the_Pat: it uses less resources.. you didn't mention how much ram you have.. just assumed with the configuration that it was minimal

[03:35] <jessica> ok

[03:35] <Pat_the_Pat> Scunizi : 256 Mo, you think it's a ressource issue and not a driver one ?

[04:03] <tonyduke> how? Mr. Ash

[04:04] <pawan> full command
[04:04] <ddlog> is there a resource to install oracale on ubuntu
[04:04] <tonyduke> I have done that , riotkittie。
[04:04] <Ashfire908> tonyduke, idk you are the one who enabled it right?
[04:04] <tonyduke> it didnt work
[04:04] <Javid> If I let someone ssh into my box, could they rig it to do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[04:04] <Javid> I'm afraid I'm just too dumb to make it work

[04:05] <pawan> how to install oracle on gutsy
[04:05] <jonnydarko> hello, looking for some help
[04:05] <jonnydarko> do i just ask away?
[04:05] <Ashfire908> yep
[04:05] <tonyduke> sudo dpkg -i (full name of your package).deb
[04:05] <tonyduke> pawan, see above
[04:06] <tremb1> i have just solved my slow internet connection mystery. at certain times of the day our connection has been intensely slow. i was convinced it was crapware on one of my housemates' windows boxes but i've just discovered through a combination of packet sniffing, ssh root access which was stupidly given to me by my ubuntu-using housemate, top and x11vnc that he's just downloading loads of porn. he's getting a talking to in the morning.
[04:06] <sahil> im trying to install ubuntu-server edition and i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42885/ on boot
[04:06] <jonnydarko> trying to install ubuntu on my new machine...i run the livecd, and it starts up, but bfore the desktop loads, i just get a colored screen and it locks up
[04:06] <jonnydarko> it's a new machine
[04:07] <jonnydarko> do i need to disconnect my dual monitor setup, or will it not work with my system?
[04:07] <codename> try
[04:07] <codename> how do i find my Trash Can
[04:07] <tonyduke> dual monitor is fine
[04:08] <szkud> did you try safe graphics mode?
[04:08] <jonnydarko> so, is it incompatible with my system?
[04:08] <jonnydarko> yes, safe graphics gave the same result
[04:08] <codename> ?
[04:08] <tonyduke> codename, the default location of the trash can is the left bottom conner.
[04:08] <szkud> can you switch to the terminal?
[04:08] <codename> i know
[04:08] <jonnydarko> now i installed this same cd on my old five year old machine flawlessly
[04:08] <codename> but i want a desktop shortcut
[04:08] <codename> is that possiblr
[04:08] <tonyduke> try text mode
[04:08] <jonnydarko> yeah, i get to teminal
[04:09] <bulmer> tremby-> share the pr0n  :)
[04:09] <jonnydarko> bottom line is, this is my work computer and i need XP for work, i cannot try an install that may not work
[04:09] <tonyduke> two dvi ports?
[04:09] <jonnydarko> but i love ubuntu
[04:09] <pawan> command
[04:09] <jonnydarko> dvi and anlog
[04:09] <szkud> jonnydarko: you'll probably just have to do more research for a video driver then
[04:09] <tonyduke> that should be fine!
[04:09] <codename> is that possible
[04:09] <codename> To get a Trashcan shortcut
[04:10] <pawan> w32codecs
[04:10] <|xianai|> hello
[04:10] <szkud> codename: yes
[04:10] <codename> how, where is it located.
[04:10] <jonnydarko> i read that there are some problems with the nvida cards
[04:10] <jamiejackson> codename, right click where you want it and do "add to panel"
[04:10] <Phydoux> My USB card reader is telling me I do not have the authority to mount it when I plug it in. It never did that before. How do I fix this?
[04:10] <tonyduke> graphical install supports most kinds of video cards
[04:10] <jamiejackson> select trash from "desktoop and windows"
[04:10] <codename> No, but I'm talking about an "Actual" shortcut on the desktop
[04:10] <tremby> bulmer: this is pretty much my point! we have a bittorrent client running on our server-under-the-stairs, to which he could have very easily added "Substitute Teacher", "Natural Knockers 6" and "Big Boob Teachers 3". why horde it? :)
[04:10] <codename> not on the panel
[04:11] <jonnydarko> yeah, shouldn't the default graphics driver work?
[04:11] <tonyduke> nvidia card is the last one with problem
[04:11] <jonnydarko> ?
[04:11] <jonnydarko> they do have problems?
[04:11] <jonnydarko> is there a way to work around this for the install
[04:11] <tonyduke> no, i mean it runs perfectly
[04:11] <jonnydarko> oh/
[04:11] <szkud> codename: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Linux/Distributions/SuSE/Q_22926766.html
[04:11] <caligarn1037> codename: if you go DL the gTweakUI's youll get a desktop trashcan possibility
[04:12] <jonnydarko> well, htis is a new maching, i do not  understand why i cannot get it to install
[04:12] <tonyduke> my ati card often drives me crazy
[04:12] <ddlog> is there a resource to install oracale on ubuntu
[04:12] <jonnydarko> my 5 yr old box has an ati and the install and even setting up the dual boot was the easiest thing
[04:12] <tonyduke> make sure your installation disc is fine
[04:12] <jonnydarko> yeah, i jsut used it to install on my old machine
[04:13] <tonyduke> then disconnect the dvi monitor
[04:13] <tonyduke> and install it again
[04:13] <jonnydarko> even though it was the primary?
[04:13] <jonnydarko> use the analog?
[04:13] <szkud> are tehre issues with ntfs partitions showing up and not showing up in gutsy/ubuntu?
[04:13] <tonyduke> yes
[04:13] <jonnydarko> ok.
[04:13] <jonnydarko> i'll give that a try
[04:13] <jonnydarko> what about when i want to do dual monitor...ubuntu supports?
[04:14] <szkud> yes
[04:14] <tonyduke> of course
[04:14] <jonnydarko> ok.  well, i'll disconnect the dvi and see what happens.
[04:14] <jonnydarko> thanx a lot guys
[04:14] <szkud> in my personal opinion, might as well not complicate things initially though start with just he analog.
[04:14] <tonyduke> if you still have problems , come back to us!
[04:14] <jonnydarko> thanx again
[04:15] <jonnydarko> take care
[04:15] <jonnydarko> quit
[04:15] <szkud> heh
[04:15] <pawan> hello
[04:15] <pawan> w32codecs
[04:15] <tonyduke> sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb, man
[04:15] <tonyduke> change the deb name
[04:15] <prak> does anyone know how to tarball a .tar.bz2 file while replacing the existing one with the same name?
[04:16] <jamiejackson> i want orca *not* to start when my session starts
[04:16] <Phydoux> My USB card reader is telling me I do not have the authority to mount it when I plug it in. It never did that before. How do I fix this?
[04:16] <jamiejackson> i enabled it to try it out, now i can't get it to stay gone
[04:17] <jamiejackson> unchecking "enable assistive technologies" doesn't do it. still starts on session start
[04:17] <jamiejackson> ideas?
[04:17] <jamiejackson> Phydoux: my wife's been telling me this too
[04:17] <jamiejackson> your card reader probably has a headache or something?
[04:18] <Phydoux> No but it's giving me one
[04:18] <Phydoux> Damn... I may have to boot to Windows...
[04:20] <cube> can everything on ubuntu studio be installed on regular ubuntu?
[04:20] <tonyduke> at least you have backup plan, man

[04:22] <saltdawg> Thanks.
[04:22] <revx> cinerella video editor

[04:23] <tonyduke> can we have video chat with a windows msn user?
[04:23] <revx> the best gutsy
[04:23] <cube> tony: there seems to be a lot more then the ubuntustudio packages
[04:23] <saltdawg> I use Windows Live Messenger.

[04:24] <saltdawg> Thanks Cube.
[04:24] <tonyduke> let me try
[04:24] <tonyduke> the ui of aMSN is rough!
[04:24] <saltdawg> No, I'm using Windows XP now.
[04:25] <noolness> gah so many version of ubuntu
[04:25] <noolness> why can't they just tell you to install x, y and z
[04:25] <cube> yeah and they all can be made with almost each version u can get
[04:25] <cube> they are trying to apeal to different users
[04:25] <MilitantPotato> Is there a way to launch a python script and boot (independent of the session chosen)?  Also, how can I ensure only one instance is run? Here's the script:   http://pastebin.com/d113946c5
[04:25] <george> who is they?
[04:25] <cube> them
[04:25] <noolness> that's stupid it just confuses people
[04:26] <tonyduke> confusing is fun
[04:26] <noolness> just tell people to install x, y and z over the default
[04:26] <noolness> but meh
[04:26] <Bonster> use windows then
[04:26] <caligarn1037> haha
[04:26] <noolness> no i mean if you try to tell someone how to do something you are like
[04:26] <noolness> "which version of ubuntu are you running"
[04:26] <cube> does vista even has something like the 3d cube?
[04:27] <noolness> rather than "did you install x y and z?"
[04:27] <Bonster> thats the good and bad side of linux
[04:27] <george> they have 4d cubes
[04:27] <saltdawg> Can I get quicktime on Ubuntu?
[04:27] <cube> hmm
[04:27] <r00723r0> is there a playstation 2 emulator for ubuntu?
[04:27] <Bonster> VLC plays mov i think
[04:27] <saltdawg> I'm about to get 7.10
[04:27] <cube> does that mean you can use the top and bottom of the cube?
[04:28] <bullgard4> English help wanted.  http://valgrind.org/: "Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux programs." What does 'profiling' mean?
[04:28] <caligarn1037> no
[04:28] <tonyduke> god, ubuntu is not a god
[04:28] <caligarn1037> but you can have a 32 sided cube
[04:28] <george> yes
[04:28] <cube> wow that is cool
[04:28] <george> i like ice cubes
[04:28] <cube> caligarn: i wasn't talking about the 3d cube on linux
[04:28] <Bonster> is just a cube
[04:28] <homebrewcider> can someone help me please? This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?
[04:28] <polldancer> tonyduke: I agree
[04:28] <noolness> cube: i know your name is cube but how important is a 3d cube to a user's desktop experience?
[04:29] <caligarn1037> cube: oh...which cube ?
[04:29] <george> rubix
[04:29] <cube> noolness i find it to be quite use able
[04:29] <bulmer> bullgard4-> i think it meant where the program spend most of its execution time, how much memory it takes, etc
[04:29] <cube> caligarn: i was asking if vista had anything like it and apparently it does with 4d
[04:29] <caligarn1037> ive found it makes the desktop a faster experience
[04:29] <Bonster> any download manager?
[04:29] <noolness> cube: xp doesn't have a cube but it has other features for it's usability
[04:29] <caligarn1037> oh...hm...not sure if vista does..
[04:29] <george> wget
[04:29] <caligarn1037> haven't heard of that
[04:30] <schlort> Has anyone had any problem installing Maple 11 on gutsy?  The install went fine on Feisty a couple months back.  On a fresh install of Gutsy, I get this problem http://pastebin.com/m63f78eb8
[04:30] <caligarn1037> leopard certainly.
[04:30] <cube> vista
[04:30] <Bonster> does that got a gui?
[04:30] <bullgard4> bulmer: Thank you.
[04:31] <Bonster> leopard doesnt it copy the compiz fusion in there new update?
[04:31] <noolness> leopard compiz fusion? what says you?
[04:32] <robert_> did apt freeze for anybody here while upgrading to gutsy/64?
[04:32] <Bonster> they had some cube like compiz fusion on leopard
[04:32] <george> no i have liquid cooling
[04:32] <noolness> there is no cube in leopard
[04:32] <Bonster> and spaces is just like expo
[04:33] <noolness> just the boring stuff from tiger
[04:33] <noolness> yeah spaces is pretty boring
[04:34] <caligarn1037> i shudder to think of what herron will be capable of then...your desktop is a mansion that you walk through
[04:34] <caligarn1037> ?
[04:34] <miss^l0t3k> hi everyone, in windoze, my laptop battery lasts around 4 hours if i'm just doing basic stuff, web browsing, email etc. in ubuntu it only lasts around 2 hours. anyone know why this is and if theres a way to make it last longer?
[04:34] <homebrewcider> can someone help me please? This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?
[04:34] <branstrom> Can I not create a dir in a parent dir that is owned by a group that I am a member of?
[04:34] <caligarn1037> or a circle instead of a cube?
[04:35] <branstrom> I did chmod g+w, and the group is there and I'm a member of it
[04:35] <Bonster> ubuntu is not good for laptops i heard they kill laptop HDs
[04:35] <Bonster> so u might wanna check on that
[04:35] <mwright1> Hi, is anyone here running LTSP
[04:35] <miss^l0t3k> orly Bonster how?
[04:35] <noolness> miss^l0t3k: ubuntu is not good with power management like any other version of linux, that's just the way it is
[04:35] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a log for it?
[04:35] <tuntun> Quit trolling Bonster...
[04:36] <Bonster> is actual bug
[04:36] <Bonster> if u check on google
[04:36] <Bonster> not trolling
[04:36] <caligarn1037> miss 3tk: i just saw a post about this...on slashdot right?
[04:36] <noolness> Bonster: slashdot said it killed hard drives which means it's about 20% chance it's true ;)
[04:36] <rayb0t> it is, but i don't think its actually specific to ubuntu. looked like a HDD firmware/BIOS/acpi thing
[04:36] <Bonster> yer
[04:36] <riotkittie> and gawd knows anything that ends up on google == fact
[04:37] <noolness> linux traditionally sucks when it comes to power management
[04:37] <caligarn1037> http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258&from=rss
[04:37] <noolness> everyone knows that
[04:37] <noolness> it's a server os
[04:37] <caligarn1037> why is that?
[04:37] <tuntun> Bonster: yes you are trolling: " i heard they kill laptop HDs" is the very definition of a troll. The fact is its an easily fixable problem.
[04:37] <caligarn1037> ah.
[04:37] <mwright1> anyone here running ubuntu + ltsp
[04:37] <noolness> do you worry about power management on a server os?
[04:37] <Bonster> trolling is when i got no evidence
[04:37] <Bonster> the bug is there
[04:37] <Bonster> u lose
[04:37] <usr13> What about power management?  (Just got here.)  Does the computer just shut down when you use it?
[04:37] <mrigns> http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mandriva_An_open_letter_to_Steve_Ballmer
[04:38] <smmagic> Can someone help me get my printer working?
[04:38] <noolness> tuntun: not just that the default ubuntu settings don't have a problem in that respect
[04:38] <george> it you comment out some letters and flip the last g you get god so its close enough
[04:38] <usr13> smmagic: Sure, what printer?
[04:38] <smmagic> Lexmark Z600 series
[04:38] <Bonster> why would i be trolling i freaken use ubuntu
[04:38] <usr13> smmagic: Point your browser to localhost:631
[04:38] <noolness> well anyways that article that was sent would have nothing to do with the power not lasting as long as windows
[04:39] <robc4> smmagic, I have the same printer
[04:39] <MilitantPotato> schlort: looks like your drive is full?
[04:39] <smmagic> It works?
[04:39] <noolness> because that it built in power management crap
[04:39] <robc4> smmagic, you have to install the driver
[04:39] <Bonster> well if ur HD keeps spining
[04:39] <Bonster> it uses more power
[04:39] <tonyduke> caz power manage differed a lot with different board.
[04:39] <smmagic> Where do I get the driver?
[04:39] <noolness> linux does a lot of stuff that requires access to the hard drive (like atime)
[04:39] <noolness> enough said
[04:39] <tuntun> Bonster: You are an asshat, here is the evidence:"ubuntu is not good for laptops i heard they kill laptop HDs". Haha!
[04:39] <smmagic> The lexmark website has only red hat
[04:39] <noolness> atime ;)
[04:40] <robc4> smmagic, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83456&highlight=lexmark
[04:40] <schlort> MilitantPotato: df reports 32GB free
[04:40] <Bonster> tuntun: if it wasnt true then tell me there is no such bug?
[04:40] <noolness> atime ;) let me say that once again...because linus loves to hit on that one ;)
[04:40] <threethirty> smmagic: if lexmark has .rpms on there you can convert them using alien
[04:40] <robc4> you have to convert the driver to .deb
[04:40] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: you're wrong
[04:40] <tonyduke> and the board manufacturers dont give inside docs for llinux developers
[04:40] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: the rapid spindown/spin up is set by the manufacturer.
[04:40] <smmagic> I have no idea how to do that
[04:40] <noolness> no atime is probably 99% of the issue
[04:40] <AncientPC> Hi guys, I have a problem with Ubuntu freezing within 60 minutes of booting up (running nothing but gnome-terminal and nautilus).  I've run memtest for hours, and WinXP / Ubuntu LiveCD work just fine.  I don't see anything abnormal in syslogs either.
[04:40] <robc4> its easy, just copy and paste the commands into the console
[04:40] <noolness> look up atime ;)
[04:41] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: it's just that ubuntu doesn't allow spindown unless you enable it.
[04:41] <usr13> smmagic: Looks like Lexmark 2600 is not supported.
[04:41] <george> bummer
[04:41] <smmagic> I have z600
[04:41] <noolness> if you have spindown and there is something that requires atime.... ;) hehhee
[04:41] <JimmyDee> lexmark as a whole is a nightmare
[04:41] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: and, it doesn't happen to everyone.
[04:41] <brew> how do i check if apache is running?
[04:41] <Bonster> i didnt say every 1
[04:41] <riotkittie> ps ax | grep apache
[04:41] <george> http://localhost
[04:41] <Bonster> i just said he should check
[04:41] <Bonster> to make sure
[04:42] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: which is because it's a hardware issue :)
[04:42] <brew> riotkittie: were u tlkin 2 me?
[04:42] <Bonster> is not a hardware
[04:42] <usr13> smmagic: Look it up on http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
[04:42] <Bonster> because they dont have that problem in windows
[04:42] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: Yea, it is.
[04:42] <tuntun> Bonster: I'm not arguing that it isn't a bug. I'm arguing that your statement was clearly trollish. Not to mention weasely...
[04:42] <Bonster> plz read up on it
[04:42] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: because window overrides the manufacture set spindown time.
[04:42] <Zombie> Bonster: Are we talking about the Hard Disk issue?
[04:43] <MilitantPotato> Zombie: yes.
[04:43] <gogeta> :P
[04:43] <Zombie> That only applies to specific Hitachi Hard Drives in Laptop mode.
[04:43] <MilitantPotato> Zombie: laptop mode spindowns
[04:43] <threethirty> Bonster and anyone else involved with that discussion please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:43] <george> my drive is fragment free
[04:43] <brew> How do i change the port apache is listening to?
[04:43] <george> in the config
[04:43] <noolness> we were actually talking about batteries lasting 2 hours in linux and 4 hours on windows
[04:43] <MilitantPotato> Zombie: thank you.
[04:43] <psyphen> brew: edit your httpd.conf file
[04:43] <MilitantPotato> Bonster: it's a hardware issue, not done by ubuntu.
[04:43] <riotkittie> my battery actually lasts as long under dapper as it does under xp
[04:43] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it?
[04:44] <Evanlec> anyone here try Reiser4 yet?
[04:44] <usr13> smmagic: Does the Lexmark website have Linux drivers?
[04:44] <Bonster> sure it is
[04:44] <george> yes
[04:44] <Zombie> I actually talked to a Dell Tech from their 'Linux Experience'
[04:44] <smmagic> Only .rpm
[04:44] <george> it works
[04:44] <usr13> smmagic: For your printer?
[04:44] <psyphen> brew: you'll find httpd.conf in the conf directory (amazingly)
[04:44] <robc4> smmagic, I posted the only way to get it working
[04:44] <Zombie> smmagic: Alien.
[04:44] <smmagic> z605 is the saem driver
[04:44] <robc4> I have done that multiple times
[04:44] <usr13> smmagic: Actually, it would be lot easier to just get a fully supported printer.
[04:44] <JimmyDee> buy HP, they just work
[04:44] <robc4> just open a console and copy and paste each line
[04:44] <Zombie> smmagic: Alien will convert an RPM into a Deb.
[04:44] <psyphen> brew: once you've changed the port number, restart apache
[04:44] <smmagic> K then..
[04:45] <smmagic> Have to figure that out
[04:45] <threethirty> !slien
[04:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slien - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:45] <threethirty> !alien
[04:45] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:45] <robc4> we can help, that is why IRC is here
[04:45] <brew> george: i know, but i can't find it
[04:45] <robc4> lol
[04:45] <homebrewcider> can someone help me please? This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?
[04:45] <Netham45> Ubuntu tells me that my battery is broken on boot, but the message is trimmed, and when I tryt o see it all, the message disappears.
[04:45] <riotkittie> homebrewcider: you have a live CD on hand?
[04:45] <Netham45> any way I can see what thta message is saying?
[04:45] <brew> george: could you tell me where to find the apache config file?
[04:45] <homebrewcider> using now
[04:46] <homebrewcider> to post here
[04:46] <JimmyDee> brew /etc/apache
[04:46] <psyphen> brew: dude. it's in the conf directory
[04:46] <tuntun> homebrewcider: You should be able to reinstall GRUB with the livecd.
[04:46] <usr13> homebrewcider: What was the setup before?
[04:46] <smmagic> After I d/l it, how do I alien it?
[04:46] <usr13> Was Ubuntu installed on hda1 or hdb1 or where?
[04:46] <PyroPumpkin> instasll alien
[04:46] <homebrewcider> 2 hdd, one with windows grub on that one, 2nd drive with linux
[04:47] <PyroPumpkin> then alien foo.rpm
[04:47] <JimmyDee> smmagic, sudo alien -i blahblah.rpm
[04:47] <PyroPumpkin> in the dir
[04:47] <usr13> homebrewcider: Was Ubuntu installed on hda1 or hdb1 or where?
[04:47] <homebrewcider> hdhdb1
[04:47] <brew> JimmyDee: no such file or directory
[04:47] <homebrewcider> hdb1
[04:47] <threethirty> smmagic, open a terminal type sudo alien and then just drag the file into the terminal
[04:47] <homebrewcider> windows on hda1
[04:47] <smmagic> Ok thankyou
[04:47] <JimmyDee> brew, cd /etc/apache2
[04:47] <usr13> homebrewcider: So linux was on hdb1?
[04:47] <homebrewcider> yes
[04:47] <Netham45> wait, wtf, I was going to download the windows drivers ofr my phone and I ended up asking why my battery is being reported broken in UBuntu... =/
[04:48] <Zombie> I have an advanced issue with VPNs I need assistance with.
[04:48] <brew> JimmyDee: ports.conf ?
[04:48] <winston> My bluetooth mouse and keyboard stopped working all of a sudden, and when I do a "sudo hidd --search" it says Searching... for like half a second
[04:48] <JimmyDee> apache2.conf or httpd.conf cant remember which
[04:49] <Zombie> Is anyone familiar with OpenSwan on Fiesty?
[04:49] <psyphen> it's in httpd.conf
[04:49] <alecwh> I'm having trouble getting conky to startup automatically in GNOME (when I login). After I type in my login info, it goes to an orange screen for a couple of seconds, and then I can see conky flickering in the corner. The next couple of seconds, my desktop settings load (background color, icons, etc) but conky disappears. can someone help?
[04:49] <homebrewcider> yes, linux was on hdb1, which is now the only hdd
[04:50] <homebrewcider> but on boot "missing operating system"
[04:50] <usr13> homebrewcider: So set the HD up like it was before, (as second IDE device on first IDE port - jumper it slave).  Boot Ubuntu install CD or any live CD, chroot to the root filesystem and run grub again.
[04:50] <brew> psyphen: there's nothing in httpd.conf
[04:50] <usr13> homebrewcider: You are going to have a lot of trouble if you don't set it up like it was before.
[04:51] <psyphen> brew: are you sure? because mine says port 80 here
[04:51] <homebrewcider>  okay it's bck up with drives plugged in the way it was before
[04:51] <JimmyDee> brew, are you running apache or apache2?
[04:51] <usr13> homebrewcider: You'd be better off to just re-install, (if you really don't want to set it up the way it was before).
[04:51] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it?
[04:51] <psyphen> brew: JimmyDee is probably right though. have a look at apache2.conf
[04:51] <homebrewcider> first hdd windows, second hdd linux that shws "missing OS"
[04:52] <brew> How do i set up ftp?
[04:52] <JimmyDee> brew, one problem at a time
[04:52] <homebrewcider> don't want to select linux on boot, the way it has to be is "boot menu>(appropriate HDD)
[04:52] <Happyfeet> uh oh I got a problem to bother you guys with too :D
[04:52] <brew> JimmyDee: i fixed me portz :D
[04:52] <tuntun> homebrewcider: You should be able to install GRUB with the livecd.
[04:53] <orangefly> why is it when i install crossover in gutsy, it does not appear in apps....???....
[04:53] <|xianai|> brew: ?
[04:53] <usr13> homebrewcider: if the computer will boot to slave drive, it would be an easy task to just have grub install the boot loader on the MBR of the same drive. If not, you'll need to install another drive as master on that first IDE port and have grub install on MBR of hda.
[04:53] <JimmyDee> brew, my choice is proftpd It is installed and up and running in no time, sudo apt-get install proftpd
[04:53] <homebrewcider> following instructions from ubuntu forums leaves an error message
[04:53] <|xianai|> brew: use gftp lftp
[04:53] <usr13> brett: apt-get install vsftpd
[04:54] <dj_ryan> Hey I'm using netatalk and trying to get trash to work from a OSX box... surely this can work?!
[04:54] <psyphen> try tham all heh
[04:54] <alecwh> I'm having trouble getting conky to startup automatically in GNOME (when I login). After I type in my login info, it goes to an orange screen for a couple of seconds, and then I can see conky flickering in the corner. The next couple of seconds, my desktop settings load (background color, icons, etc) but conky disappears. can someone help?
[04:54] <|xianai|> usr13: did he mean ftp server or client?
[04:54] <george> why are you doing that?
[04:54] <jamiejackson> what's the "docs" folder under my home directory for?
[04:54] <usr13> |xianai|: I assumed he ment server.
[04:54] <Reng> booting ubuntu from wubi, does it have direct support to hardware or its emulated?
[04:54] <psyphen> |xianai|: i'm assuming he/she means a server since he/she already has apache
[04:55] <smmagic> Do I unpack the Tar.gz before I alien it?
[04:55] <Apple> I can't access my linux files from my windows machines on my network, can some one help me?
[04:55] <usr13> brett: Were you asking about how to set up ftp server just to use ftp client?
[04:55] <Evanlec> anyone here try Reiser4 yet?
[04:55] <brew> JimmyDee: is there a way to do it without the disc? Its asking for the disc i installed ubuntu with
[04:55] <JimmyDee> brew, ok ctrl C
[04:55] <usr13> brew: Were you asking about how to set up ftp server just to use ftp client?
[04:55] <|xianai|> Evanlec: seems bad
[04:56] <brew> JimmyDee: alrighty
[04:56] <tuntun> homebrewcider: Does the hdd have a "master boot record"?
[04:56] <homebrewcider> hd0 or 1?
[04:56] <brew> usr13: set up ftp on me server
[04:56] <JimmyDee> brew,  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list about the third line down you'll see deb blah blah cdrom put a # in front of that and then ctrl x y enter
[04:56] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Reiser4 seems to be somewhat slow and buggy
[04:56] <usr13> brew: apt-get install vsftpd
[04:56] <schlort> Can anyone help diagnose a problem I am having installing Maple 11?  The installation went smoothly on Feisty.  On a completely fresh Gutsy install (2nd time around, and the problem persists), I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m63f78eb8  and my df reports: http://pastebin.com/m279ed428
[04:56] <tuntun> homebrewcider: the one you want to use
[04:56] <usr13> brew: sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[04:56] <brew> JimmyDee: okey doke
[04:57] <jamiejackson> i would assume the docs folder is like My Documents in windows, but i can't put anything in there...
[04:57] <_Keef_> if I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 will I lose data?
[04:57] <psyphen> Apple: you're in luck. everyone's talking about ftp servers and clients at the moment. follow along
[04:57] <homebrewcider> hang on, might have got it
[04:57] <homebrewcider> thanks for help guys
[04:57] <Happyfeet> I'm trying to install webmin on my server over here. I have it downloaded, I have it downloaded and just need installing instructions
[04:58] <JimmyDee> !webmin
[04:58] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[04:58] <|xianai|> join #debian
[04:58] <Evanlec> |xianai|, u've tried it?
[04:58] <MilitantPotato> !scripts
[04:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scripts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:58] <usr13> Happyfeet: It comes with install instructions.
[04:58] <Happyfeet> is their an alternative to webmin for ubuntu then?
[04:58] <MilitantPotato> how do you make a script load during booting?
[04:58] <_Keef_> oh well guess I'll find otu soon
[04:58] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, about one year ago
[04:58] <MilitantPotato> python script*
[04:58] <winston> My bluetooth mouse and keyboard stopped working all of a sudden, and when I do a "sudo hidd --search" it says Searching... for like half a second
[04:58] <Evanlec> |xianai|, one year ago? reiser4 was even available then? thot it was relatively new, its not even merged into the kernel yet...
[04:59] <brew> JimmyDee: do i want it to run as a service from inetd?
[04:59] <|xianai|> Evanlec: after that i switch to xfs
[04:59] <usr13> Happyfeet: Most of the services are easy to configure, you don't really need webmin.
[04:59] <JimmyDee> standalone
[04:59] <Happyfeet> k thnaks for the help then
[04:59] <Evanlec> |xianai|, maybe it was buggy 1 year ago...
[04:59] <brew> JimmyDee: k
[04:59] <usr13> Happyfeet: But if you must, go on and install it and use it for a short time and then un-install it.
[04:59] <Evanlec> |xianai|, what do u think of xfs in terms of performance?
[04:59] <tuntun> MilitantPotato:"System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs"?
[05:00] <|xianai|> Evanlec: maybe, but with its main author in jail, what do you expect from it ?
[05:00] <MilitantPotato> tuntun: I want it to load regardless of the session I choose (kdm, gnome, xfrc)  Will that work?
[05:00] <Happyfeet> whats a good email server for ubuntu server in yalls opinion?
[05:00] <Evanlec> |xianai|, lol yea...only way to get it is to use the -mm patch...which i was about to try
[05:00] <|xianai|> Evanlec: xfs is good in performance
[05:00] <brew> JimmyDee: its installed! now can any of me user's ftp into me server?
[05:00] <usr13> Happyfeet: Most all of the server software that you install on Ubuntu is configured to run right off the bat.
[05:01] <george> postfix
[05:01] <george> exim
[05:01] <tuntun> MilitantPotato:I'm not an expert so I dunno...
[05:01] <MilitantPotato> tuntun: no problem :)
[05:01] <usr13> brew: Edit /etc/vsftpd.conf
[05:01] <JimmyDee> brew, should be able to
[05:01] <Evanlec> |xianai|, was wondering what fs i sould use, was gonna copy my installation over to a new sofware raid0 partition with xfs or reiser
[05:01] <george> sendmail if you want a lump on your head
[05:01] <JimmyDee> usr13, I think he went with proftpd
[05:01] <prak> does anyone have any good recommendations on help channels on microcontroller programming?
[05:01] <s3gw> hello why is ubuntu so slow
[05:02] <|xianai|> Evanlec: however, xfs seems still have some problems e.g. I always can repaire out a lot in /lost+founds after a sudden reboot
[05:02] <Irreducibilis> Because your computer is slow?
[05:02] <s3gw> also why it wont ask you which packages to install during install
[05:02] <george> because vista is so fast
[05:02] <Irreducibilis> What are your specs?
[05:02] <s3gw> Irreducibilis: opteron 275p with 2gb ram
[05:02] <Irreducibilis> Well that makes no sense.
[05:02] <Evanlec> |xianai|, yea...well i spose any filesystem doesnt like sudden reboots...
[05:02] <george> what does that mean?
[05:02] <JimmyDee> s3gw dont you think this might be a bad place to ask that question without negative results?
[05:02] <Evanlec> |xianai|, but it is journaled right? so there shouldnt be any data loss...
[05:02] <Irreducibilis> I have a P4 1.5Ghz with 768mb RAM and it runs fast.
[05:03] <s3gw> JimmyDee: :)
[05:03] <brew> JimmyDee: thx! it wrx
[05:03] <humblerodent> hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights.
[05:03] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am currently typing my words on a xfs on a software raid0
[05:03] <george> i have a dorito and it runs fast
[05:03] <humblerodent> what could be the problem?  TIA
[05:03] <brew> JimmyDee: lol this is t3h coolness
[05:03] <s3gw> ok, so why it wont ask me which packages to install
[05:03] <Evanlec> |xianai|, sweet, so u would recommend that combination?
[05:03] <pkh> i'm tearing my hair out at the moment -- i'm trying to use the mobile broadband card via ppp, but can't work out what is going on.  is there anyone around who could help?
[05:03] <|xianai|> Evanlec: so i think its good
[05:03] <george> you must tell it what to install this is not windoze
[05:03] <JimmyDee> brew yer welcome
[05:03] <Evanlec> |xianai|, cool, well i think i'll do that then
[05:04] <Evanlec> |xianai|, do you have any recommendation about how i can clone my current installation over to the new partition?
[05:04] <george> dd
[05:04] <MilitantPotato> +1 dd
[05:05] <|xianai|> Evanlec: well, I followed the benchmarks, and untill now the benchmarks seems not a lie to me, LOL
[05:06] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I think the clone process is rather straight forward using a livecd
[05:06] <humblerodent> hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights.  What could be happening?  This is odd.
[05:07] <george> choose the 2nd option
[05:07] <Evanlec> |xianai|, well i just wanna copy the entire / partition over to the new partition, i dont have any /home or /boot partitions made yet
[05:07] <cwgannon> hello
[05:07] <|xianai|> Evanlec: mount old, mount new, cp -a old/* new/
[05:07] <MilitantPotato> humblerodent: figure out how to add yourself to the admin group using commandline
[05:07] <jahnkeanate1> i have a capture card and i am not sure how to make it work
[05:07] <humblerodent> MilitantPotato: I know how to do that....but then I have to figure out how to manually do EVERYTHING that should be happening at boot
[05:08] <DanaG> Gaack, damnvidia card just blinked and switched to 2D speeds and software rendering.
[05:08] <humblerodent> MilitantPotato: I am saying that what happens is that it BOOTS with no root privs....lol
[05:08] <humblerodent> well not boot but after boot
[05:08] <usr13> Evanlec: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hda2 bs=512       will clone the first partition to the second.
[05:08] <humblerodent> like after it gets into the system and stuff is set up
[05:08] <cwgannon> what's the best way to stop a process that is using 100% of the CPU?  if, say, the gnome system monitor won't even respond
[05:08] <pirate> When I connect my psp to my computer and turn on usb mode ubuntu detects it as what appears to be a music player and when I transfer files from my computer to it something goes wrong and the files end up as 0 bytes
[05:09] <pirate> can anyone help me?
[05:09] <brew> it seems i can't access my server from the web. could someone help meh?
[05:09] <george> whats your ip address?
[05:09] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it?
[05:09] <tuntun> Evanlec: Would Ghosting '/' meet your needs?
[05:09] <usr13> brew: What is your outside IP
[05:09] <Biju> Hi My Tv Tuner card has been detected by default or at least that Philips SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder what is listed in hardware Information in Gutsy . However I cant get my TvTuner to work in TvTime, MythTV or ScanTV. How would I start to troubleshoot this ? No recording needed just want to watch TV once in a while.
[05:09] <pirate> cwgannon, I have no real idea what I'm doing, but in an emergency like that I'd just ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:09] <Evanlec> tuntun, well...yea, what do u mean by that? norton ghost?
[05:09] <usr13> brew: How are you connected to the internet?
[05:10] <george> do you have a firewall?
[05:10] <Evanlec> usr13, would i run that command from a livecd or something?
[05:10] <brew> usr13: 71.175.49.213
[05:10] <cwgannon> pirate: yeah, that's what i've been forced to do.  amarok can be a real ass about looping through songs when it can't make the audio device its own
[05:10] <usr13> Evanlec: You can, yes.
[05:10] <tuntun> Evanlec: Yes...
[05:10] <Evanlec> okay
[05:11] <Evanlec> now the new partition is going to be a software raid0 xfs
[05:11] <pirate> I also have a networking issue... I can't assign a static IP address and get it to work... I put in all the proper information in the network manager but it breaks my connection and I can't connect again until I turn on roaming mode
[05:11] <Evanlec> is there gonna be problems there? should i install modules on this install before copying it over?
[05:11] <usr13> brew: 21/tcp filtered
[05:11] <humblerodent> hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights.  What could be happening?  This is odd.
[05:11] <brew> usr13: the server is hooked up to a switch which is hooked up to a router which is hooked up to verizon's fiOs network
[05:11] <george> dont use network manager.  use vim
[05:11] <|xianai|> Evanlec: go to our private channel
[05:12] <brew> usr13: what's this 21/tcp business?
[05:12] <usr13> brew: brew Then you will need to tell your router to pass port 20 and 21 to the server's IP
[05:12] <Evanlec> |xianai|, ? i msg'd u? what channel?
[05:12] <george> that is the default port ftp listens on
[05:12] <Rafase_282> hello
[05:12] <brew> usr13: i set the server's subnet IP as a DMZ
[05:12] <usr13> That is providing that verison does not block incomming port 21 traffic.
[05:13] <brew> so nothing protects it
[05:13] <cwgannon> what's the best way to stop a process that is using 100% of the CPU?  if, say, the gnome system monitor won't even respond
[05:13] <|xianai|> Evanlec: hen copy the dirs separately
[05:13] <tuntun> Evanlec: I retract my suggestion of restoring a ghost if you are on a RAID...It may work but I am not familiar with it...
[05:13] <|xianai|> Evanlec: boot with livecd, do with the partitions, copy dirs to where you want and make new kernel install grub and reboot
[05:13] <usr13> brew: You will need to tell the router to forward ftp to that server's inside IP.
[05:13] <Evanlec> |xianai|, i need to make a new kernel?
[05:13] <brew> usr13: i had it working about a month ago, but after i rebooted, it stopped working
[05:13] <sosus_> anyone have a problem getting sound to work on a latitude d830?
[05:14] <Evanlec> |xianai|, cant i just install the md-raid package and the xfs package on my current install?
[05:14] <george> reboot it again
[05:14] <brew> usr13: hmm.... seems to be a deeper issue...
[05:14] <usr13> brew: 21/tcp open
[05:14] <|xianai|> Evanlec: you'd better compiled in the raid support if you do not want a complex raid setup in initrd
[05:15] <brew> usr13: i can't do http://192.168.0.242
[05:15] <DisabledDuck> whats a good dvd burning app?
[05:15] <brew> it doesn't respond
[05:15] <usr13> brew: It's working.
[05:15] <dudu> I have a problem about the Firefox
[05:15] <usr13> Just accepted ftp request.
[05:15] <Evanlec> |xianai|, okay, should i make the new kernel on my current ubuntu?
[05:15] <brew> usr13: sweetness
[05:15] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not sure about that , I am a debian user :)
[05:15] <usr13> brew: ProFTPD 1.2.10 just ansered my ftp request
[05:16] <brew> usr13: but i thing apache is broked :\
[05:16] <Evanlec> |xianai|, how do i go about making a new kernel from the livecd and copying it over?
[05:16] <|xianai|> Evanlec: And I compiled my own kernel
[05:16] <Evanlec> |xianai|, i have a custom kernel too but...im just wondering how i'd copy it over to the new install...
[05:16] <Evanlec> |xianai|, or the new partition rather
[05:17] <DisabledDuck> can anybody tell me a good DVD burning app?
[05:17] <usr13> brew: Why?
[05:17] <|xianai|> Evanlec: It depends on if your old kernel had already raid support compiled in or it will configure it properly by initrd
[05:17] <smmagic> How do I alien this .gz.sh file?
[05:17] <Radio1> GTK
[05:18] <tuntun> DisabledDuck:K3b, Xfburn
[05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I guess the official kernel from ubuntu is ok
[05:18] <usr13> brew: Is it just turned off?
[05:18] <Evanlec> |xianai|, raid support needs to be compiled into the kernel, can't be a module?
[05:18] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it?
[05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: if it is a module, you do need a initrd
[05:18] <Evanlec> |xianai|, right now im using 2.6.23.1 custom from kernel.org
[05:18] <JimmyDee> sendmail is nightmare stuff
[05:18] <smmagic> Can somone help me get my printer working?
[05:18] <Bonster> _Keef_: which client?
[05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I hate initrd :)
[05:18] <|xianai|> |xianai|:
[05:19] <tuntun> DisabledDuck:both available through Applications>Add/Remove
[05:19] <george> port 80 is still filtered
[05:19] <usr13> smmagic: Yes, what printer are you using?
[05:19] <|xianai|> Evanlec: personally
[05:19] <smmagic> Lexmark z600 series
[05:19] <_Keef_> Bonster: I'm trying to get it to work with php
[05:19] <usr13> smmagic: Sorry, lexmark z600 is a paperweight
[05:19] <smmagic> I downloaded the redhat driver, but inside it is z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh
[05:20] <_Keef_> Bonster: I've tried with and without postfix
[05:20] <smmagic> Paperweight?
[05:20] <brew> usr13: what happens when u type http://71.175.49.213
[05:20] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Then compiled it in, man, or you may need to update your initrd
[05:20] <Evanlec> |xianai|, hmm...this is all complicated
[05:20] <brew> usr13:
[05:20] <brew> usr13: ?
[05:20] <george> in /etc/apache2/ports.conf add line Listen 4096
[05:20] <brew> george: me?
[05:20] <Evanlec> |xianai|, can i modprobe the module in right now so my system detects raid?
[05:21] <george> then /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[05:21] <|xianai|> Evanlec: as long as your data is here, kernel boot failure is not a panic LOL
[05:21] <PoofDaddy> What's a GUI way to install a webcam for the absolute biggest n00b?
[05:21] <Evanlec> |xianai|, true...
[05:21] <george> no wait i cannot cp anymore
[05:21] <|xianai|> Evanlec: NO
[05:21] <secret901> I just deleted a ton of valuable files from the trash.  Is there any way to recover them???
[05:21] <Agent_bob> i have a floppy that won't boot  "non-system disk, replace the disk and try again"    but i have tested everything i can think of...    someone want to pipe in ?
[05:21] <|xianai|> george: if you can only modprobe it now, you do need to tell initrd to modprobe BEFORE mounting your root
[05:21] <george> then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[05:22] <usr13> brew: No connection.  Is apache running?
[05:22] <Evanlec> |xianai|, im just wondering, where do i compile the kernel? on my current system?
[05:22] <george> heh?
[05:22] <|xianai|> Evanlec: : if you can only modprobe it now, you do need to tell initrd to modprobe BEFORE mounting your root
[05:22] <|xianai|> sorry
[05:22] <|xianai|> george: it is not for you :)
[05:22] <Evanlec> |xianai|, how do i tell if my current kernel has raid support?
[05:22] <george> stop confusing me!
[05:22] <n2diy> I got beat up with upgrades today, but finally, I'm back online. Upgrade manager tells me I have to restart, but I don't want to loose my uptime, options?
[05:22] <Atomic_UE> Can someone confirm in feisty that when you go to System > Administration > Network > General, that there is a check box there with something about Scanning for network services?
[05:23] <secret901> is there an easy-to-use undelete utility for Ubuntu?
[05:23] <cellofellow> Hey, anybody remember on the old pre-OSX macs there was a hack to make it so that a singing Oscar the Grouch lived in your trashcan? It'd be sooooo cooool if Ubuntu could have something like that!
[05:23] <usr13> brew:  ps aux |grep httpd
[05:23] <tuntun> secret901: Yes ;) (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=recover+deleted+files+ubuntu&meta=&btnG=Google+Search)
[05:23] <Agent_bob> n2diy don't restart... ?         but it won't be running the latest kernel/patches...
[05:24] <usr13> smmagic: You need to get another printer.
[05:24] <|xianai|> Evanlec: hmmm.... maybe refer to /sys, man,
[05:24] <n2diy> secret901: how did you delete? From the command line with rm, there is no recovery.
[05:24] <secret901> which file system comes default with Ubuntu?
[05:24] <usr13> smmagic: lexmark z600 is not supported.
[05:24] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not very sure about that , but you may make menuconfig in your linux/
[05:24] <secret901> n2diy: I used "Delete from Trash"
[05:25] <smmagic> Great..
[05:25] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu 7.10 install several executable Bluetooth programs on my laptop although the laptop manual does not mention Bluetooth?
[05:25] <Evanlec> |xianai|, make menuconfig and look?
[05:25] <usr13> smmagic: Sorry...
[05:25] <n2diy> Agent_bob: roger that, I could init 1 and then init 5, but I was hoping there was something more elegant than that now?
[05:25] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, make menuconfig and look your kernel configs
[05:25] <Atomic_UE> bullgard4, that's just the default for 7.10 whether or not you got bluetooth ??
[05:25] <ronin_> Evening everyone
[05:25] <usr13> smmagic: See: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z600_series_z601_z602
[05:25] <cellofellow> bullgard4: if the bluetooth stuff wasn't included on the CD it wouldn't work out of the box. So, it is included. Just remove it if you don't have bluetooth.
[05:25] <secret901> n2diy: I hit cancel about 3/4th of the way
[05:25] <n2diy> secret901: I don't know of anyway to recover from that.
[05:25] <Evanlec> |xianai|, okay...
[05:26] <Agent_bob> n2diy that wouldn't get you the new kernel.  only a boot will.
[05:26] <tuntun> n2diy: not true according to here:http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-recover-deleted-files-with-lsof-command.html
[05:26] <Atomic_UE> bullgard4, most laptops sold today come with bluetooth as standard
[05:26] <|xianai|> Evanlec: 'cause i forget the /sys entries corresponding to raid/md support
[05:26] <ronin_> Does anyone have success with using the latest fglrx with OpenGL? I heard it was flakey, and it seems to be unusuable more or less
[05:26] <Agent_bob> n2diy that's the one thing that we "reboot linux" for,  new kernel.
[05:26] <usr13> samitheberber: For future reference, see: http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
[05:26] <george> 8080 is open
[05:27] <tuntun> secret901: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-recover-deleted-files-with-lsof-command.html
[05:27] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: what about when ubuntu says you need to reboot for a driver?  what's the way to avoid that?
[05:27] <bullgard4> Atomic_UE: But mine not. And a general statement may not be helpful in a paticular case.
[05:27] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Good luck man :)
[05:27] <n2diy> Agent_bob: Well, it must be a critical upgrade, since that is all Upgrade manager is permitted to do, guess I'll have to byte the bullet?
[05:27] <Evanlec> |xianai|, thx ;p
[05:27] <smmagic> I need a new printer..
[05:27] <usr13> smmagic: For future reference, see: http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
[05:27] <Evanlec> |xianai|, is there a package for ubuntu for raid, isnt it called dm-raid or something?
[05:27] <|xianai|> george: hey, man i was not on purpose, i said sorry
[05:27] <brew> usr13: do u want the output from "ps aux |grep httpd"?
[05:28] <usr13> smmagic: Check on Lexmark's site for drivers though, but I doubt you'll find any.
[05:28] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, it seems to be the one by name :)
[05:28] <allsate> how do i add feisty repository?
[05:28] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato driver is a "kernel module" i.e. part of the kernel.   but if the running module can be removed from the kernel (most can) then you can rmmod blah && modprobe blah    and have the new "blah" running without a reboot.
[05:28] <Atomic_UE> bullgard4, from what I recall ubuntu has installed bluetooth stuff by default for at least a good number of release now whether you have bluetooth or not. It's just in 7.10 they seem to of installed a couple more bluetooth apps as well
[05:28] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not sure
[05:28] <secret901> tuntun: from the article, it appears to only work if you still got the file open
[05:28] <bullgard4> cellofellow: I will further enquire before I remove programs.
[05:28] <Evanlec> |xianai|, or mdadm? as here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461
[05:28] <usr13> brew: Yes, but meantime,  Do you see that httpd is running.?
[05:28] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: ah, very cool.
[05:29] <Biju> If I cant get Tv on TV Time what are the chances of getting a signal on VLC?
[05:29] <|xianai|> Evanlec: mdadm should be
[05:29] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: then reload Xorg I'd take it?
[05:29] <Evanlec> |xianai|, kk
[05:29] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato there is also   modprobe -r    pretty handy
[05:29] <n2diy> Are these upgrades I'm being forced to get, a result of Gutsy being back ported to Dapper?
[05:29] <usr13> brew: Use pastebin
[05:29] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato if it's xrelated, then yes.
[05:29] <tuntun> secret901: That was the first google hit. But as long as you haven't WRITTEN OVER the deleted files you can still recover them i.e they should still be there.
[05:29] <Agent_bob> x related
[05:30] <|xianai|> Evanlec: but I am not using it during the boot time
[05:30] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: usually is, ATI is about all I update driver wise it seems.
[05:30] <Evanlec> |xianai|, putting my partition at the end of the disk would be the fastest right? since its on the outside of the platter and thus faster rotation?
[05:30] <MilitantPotato> fglrx*
[05:30] <george> oh this doesnt look good
[05:30] <secret901> tuntun: I hope they haven't been written over, they were just deleted moments ago
[05:30] <usr13> Evanlec: I think it's the other way around, inside is faster.
[05:30] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato heh   LTS gets whole new kernel sub-versions
[05:30] <Evanlec> usr13, but wouldnt the outside rotate faster? like a record?
[05:31] <usr13> Evanlec: I usually put swap on the first partition.
[05:31] <levander> Where is the default runlevel specified?  I have no /etc/inittab on this Gutsy box.  Did they do away with /etc/inittab?
[05:31] <brew> usr13: output of "ps aux |grep httpd" is "XXXXXXXX 14334  0.0  0.1   2876   796 TTY1     R+   17:23   0:00 grep httpd"
[05:31] <tuntun> secret901: That's the best place to be. Don't restart your system.
[05:32] <CyberMad> es.
 i
[05:32] <Agent_bob> levander yes they did.  you aren't using sysVinit anymore toto.   it's upstart now.
[05:32] <usr13> brew: /etc/init.d/httpd start
[05:32] <_Keef_> how do I get the mail php function working under ubuntu 7.10?
[05:32] <levander> Agent_bob: sooo, can i still do a "init 2" to enter runlevel 2?
[05:32] <|xianai|> Evanlec: usr13: theoretically, it may be different but I wonder it is even observable
[05:32] <CyberMad> i want to buy HardDisk 320 GB, does maxtor is ok?  because i hear seagate acquired maxtor..
[05:32] <usr13> brew: or  /etc/init.d/apachel?? start
[05:33] <Atomic_UE> Can someone confirm in feisty that when you go to System > Administration > Network > General, that there is a check box there with something about Scanning for network services?
[05:33] <Evanlec> |xianai|, yea..
[05:33] <CyberMad> so, does maxtor as good as seagate? because before maxtor is have bad reputation
[05:33] <Agent_bob> levander you probably default to runlevel 2   ubuntu always has.   but yes init #   should still work for compatability
[05:33] <usr13> brew: or  /etc/init.d/apache [hit tab key]
[05:33] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: how would I set a python script to load irregardless of which session I choose?
[05:33] <|xianai|> CyberMad: maxtor is ok, I was being using it for years
[05:33] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato /etc/rcS.d/
[05:34] <secret901> what file system does Ubuntu come default with? doesn't it support journaling or something?
[05:34] <AncientPC> Hi guys, I have a problem with Ubuntu freezing within 60 minutes of booting up (running nothing but gnome-terminal and nautilus).  I've run memtest for hours, and WinXP / Ubuntu LiveCD work just fine.  I don't see anything abnormal in syslogs either.
[05:34] <christopher> in kubuntu how do i enable double clicking of icons instead of the annoying single click
[05:34] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato oh session  sorry  was still thinking runlevel.      /etc/rc.local
[05:34] <vasuvi> On a Radeon 9700 Pro, is it better to use the free ati drivers, or fglrx?
[05:35] <|xianai|> secret901: I will be surprised if nowadays some dist does not have a journaled fs as its default
[05:35] <christopher> AncientPC sounds like an overheating problem with your pc
[05:35] <_Keef_> secret901:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
[05:35] <brew> usr13: httpd doesn't exist :\...... and apache2 says could not bind to address
[05:35] <usr13> brew: /etc/init.d/apachectl start  or /etc/init.d/apachectl -k start
[05:35] <|xianai|> christopher: kcontrol
[05:35] <Evanlec> |xianai|, refer to this page...interesting http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cd/constSpindle-c.html
[05:35] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: that would run the script if I choose KDE or Gnome?   I also don't want it to load it if I logout and change the GUI manager
[05:35] <christopher> turn it off and check if it is too hot inside
[05:35] <christopher> ty
[05:35] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: if it runs it twice it causes hell.
[05:35] <christopher> i couldnt find it
[05:35] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato you can call it from rc.local   it should run at boot after everything else.    if it needs to start with each login  put it in an rc file in the users home   ~/.profile   maybe
[05:35] <tators> I have a permissions problem that will take a little bit to explain, who wants to help me
[05:35] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, have a quesion, in kubuntu i can change permissions on external media via typing kdesu konqueror in terminal and then changing them via konqueror, so how do i do a similar procedure with ubuntu??  im new to it.
[05:35] <brew> usr13: "httpd (PID XXXX) already running"
[05:36] <Evanlec> usr13, check this out... http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cd/constSpindle-c.html
[05:36] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato and i would look into calling it in a way that checks to make sure it's the first instance
[05:37] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: /etc/rc.local will do her, thanks :)
[05:37] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: gksudo-gedit?
[05:37] <LaserLine> I put a DVD in my DVD drive and it says I don't have permissions... it works in Windows fine with winDVD... any ideas why this wouldn't work in Ubuntu?  I can't even browse any of the files on the dvd
[05:37] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: I spent an hour on google trying to sort that out, I had no luck.
[05:37] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: thank you i will try that
[05:37] <tators> agent_bob, may I pm u a question
[05:37] <|xianai|> Evanlec: 60% what a great number
[05:37] <|xianai|> !!!
[05:37] <arooni-mobile> hey folks... for some reason, my alt key doesnt work on my keyboard.... is there *anyway* i can have another way of highlighting the address bar?  i love the quick key shortcut to the address bar ... :P
[05:37] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato like maybe     pidof script_name.py || script_name.py
[05:37] <adammw> Hey, does gusty have confirmed sound problems with SigmaTel STAC9221 (64bit ubuntu desktop)?
[05:38] <levander> Agent_bob: I'm reading on upstart.ubuntu.com, but I still don't see where my /etc/inittab has gone?
[05:38] <|xianai|> Evanlec: maybe i should take it for serious !! LOL
[05:38] <_Keef_> how can I get the "mail" php function working under ubuntu 7.10? I've got the rest of the server setup already
[05:38] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato that assumes that if it's not in the processtable it's ok to start it.
[05:38] <Evanlec> |xianai|, 60%? where'd u see that?
[05:38] <christopher> ok where in kcontrol can i change the single click to dounle click havent used kde in well over 4 months
[05:38] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: it said bash, command not found
[05:38] <Agent_bob> levander i'm pretty ignorant on upstart myself,  i still use sysV
[05:39] <|xianai|> Evanlec: last line of your recom. page
[05:39] <christopher> nvm found it
[05:39] <christopher> search function
[05:39] <christopher> wow
[05:39] <christopher> kde is so much nicer
[05:39] <Agent_bob> christopher there is a kde specific channel too   #kubuntu
[05:39] <usr13> Evanlec: Ok, I stand corrected, I guess outside tracks read faster, "on newer HDs".  Thanks for the info.
[05:39] <|xianai|> christopher: hmm.... click all around, you will missed it in the mouse control  panel
[05:39] <levander> Agent_bob: yeah, it kinda sux they changed it, i learned sysv init like 10 years ago, and still knew enough to fake it every time i needed the knowledge.  This is the first time in a long time I've had to go and figure out what the deal s...
[05:40] <Radio1> Which is better: kbuntu/ubuntu..and why.
[05:40] <Evanlec> usr13, yea, and on newer cd-rom/dvd drives as well, that use constant angular velocity
[05:40] <|xianai|> will not missed it
[05:40] <Agent_bob> resuba i'm not registered.  if you need to talk to me, it will have to be in here.
[05:40] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: gksudo gedit?
[05:40] <resuba> ok
[05:40] <|xianai|> Evanlec:  you see that number ?
[05:40] <usr13> brew:  Can  you see it with your browser?  "localhost" ?
[05:40] <Evanlec> |xianai|, yea
[05:41] <tators> I have a file on /home/desktop/database under the Andrew user and I'd like to move it to the oracle user's /home/oracle
[05:41] <tators> how do I do this
[05:41] <resuba> Agent_bob: is there a way for me to store a fresh install of ubuntu on my external drive with out having to make a partition image ?  I want to restore it back to fresh at a later time .
[05:41] <prak> is launchpad the tool where I can sign up for software development support roles to further advance ubuntu?
[05:41] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: that just opens up a blank document
[05:41] <usr13> That's a mouthfull:  constant angular velocity
[05:41] <Agent_bob> tators sudo mv /path/blah /new-path/blah
[05:41] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, have a quesion, in kubuntu i can change permissions on external media via typing kdesu konqueror in terminal and then changing them via konqueror, so how do i do a similar procedure with ubuntu??  im new to it.
[05:41] <AncientPC> christopher: It shouldn't be a heating problem as I don't have problems with other OS's (or even the same OS from Live CD) and that it sits on top of a notebook cooler.
[05:41] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: good, so open the file you want to edit! :)
[05:41] <tators> agent: yeah I can' tfigure out what paths to each other
[05:42] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: no i dont want t edit a file, i want to change the permissions on external hard disks
[05:42] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ?
[05:42] <resuba> Agent_bob  tators?
[05:42] <usr13> I don't know if it means anything, but sounds interesting.  Makes sense though... as you said before, the tracks on the outside will pass under the head at a faster rate, so...
[05:42] <|xianai|> I am using debian
[05:42] <tators> resuba?
[05:42] <resuba> iam sorry
[05:42] <|xianai|> I wonder if it is the same in ubuntu
[05:42] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: ah, ok, so run gksudo nautilus.
[05:42] <lukman_22_bgr> anjing
[05:42] <brack10> noob question... I'm trying to build a plugin which just has a .c file and it instructs me to go to pidgin/plugins.... it tells me to do cd pidgin/plugins but it won't let me do that...
[05:42] <resuba> i thought tators was a command
[05:42] <usr13> Evanlec: for you ^^^
[05:42] <resuba> hah
[05:43] <Agent_bob> resuba tar ball      make a tar image       sudo tar -czf /<list the dirs in / excluding dev tmp proc and sys>
[05:43] <|xianai|> usr13: yeah, that's the story
[05:43] <Evanlec> usr13, what?
[05:43] <resuba> Agent_bob: i want to include every thing
[05:43] <usr13> Evanlec: I don't know if it means anything, but sounds interesting.  Makes sense though... as you said before, the tracks on the outside will pass under the head at a faster rate, so...
[05:43] <Agent_bob> resuba that does.
[05:43] <tators>  su mv /home/desktop/database /home/oracle  produced no results, the files are still where they were initially
[05:43] <Evanlec> usr13, yea, and look at this too http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/geom/tracks_ZBR.htm
[05:44] <Sevk>  ~$ mencoder './a.ogg' -ovc vcodec-mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1200 -oac mp3lame -o b.mpeg4             ogg to other format ,how to do it ?
[05:44] <resuba> Agent_bob:   i dont know what dirs to list  cant i jsut do "/" ?
[05:44] <axd45> has anyone here successfully booted ubuntu 7.10 live cd with an ati x-series vid card?
[05:44] <Agent_bob> resuba the things in the four dirs i said to omit are not something that you include  the system makes them at boot time.
[05:44] <secret901> how do I refer to a partition?
[05:44] <Evanlec> usr13, you're right, the drive is filled from the outside in, so therefore the first partition on a drive wil be the fastest...
[05:44] <tators>  su mv /home/desktop/database /home/oracle  produced no results, the files are still where they were initially
[05:45] <levander> Agent_bob: apparently, there's a /etc/event.d directory, i think it's /etc/event.d/rc-default that "replaces" inittab.  There's a comment in that script that it "guesses the default runlevel"...
[05:45] <george> brew: in /etc/apache2/ports.conf add this line:  Listen 4096
[05:45] <Agent_bob> resuba you can include all but you'll get lots of errors.    i sujest omitting    /proc /sys /tmp /dev    zip up all the rest.
[05:45] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ?
[05:45] <george> then:  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
[05:45] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ?
[05:46] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: excellent, thats what i was looking for.  so in ubuntu nautilus is konquerors equivalent then.  minus web browsing i suppose.
[05:46] <resuba> has any one here ever use  partimage?
[05:46] <jgraham_> zgmf-x20a, yep.
[05:46] <levander> Agent_bob: and, that script uses 'telinit', not 'init'
[05:46] <resuba> Is there any one here that has ever used partimage
[05:46] <zgmf-x20a> cool thanks all
[05:46] <tag-> anyone know where I might find more information about how to debug a gnome theme?
[05:46] <secret901> How do I know which files in /dev are my hard drives?
[05:46] <jgraham_> hd*
[05:46] <jgraham_> or sd*
[05:46] <Agent_bob> levander cool.   i'll note that.
[05:47] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: Good. I'm not sure about how gksudo and konqueror play together, but if it works, go for it!;?
[05:47] <|xianai|> Evanlec: did you cam across that bug?
[05:47] <Agent_bob> levander and last i looked  telinit was a symlink anyway
[05:47] <Evanlec> |xianai|, what bug?
[05:47] <Agent_bob> secret901  cat /proc/partitions
[05:47] <jgraham_> secret901, hd1, hd2, are ata, sd1, sd2 are scsi..
[05:48] <arooni-mobile> hey folks... for some reason, my alt key doesnt work on my keyboard.... is there *anyway* i can have another way of highlighting the address bar?  i love the quick key shortcut to the address bar ... :P
[05:48] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ?
[05:48] <|xianai|> Evanlec: seems like a bug in xorg
[05:48] <zgmf-x20a> n2diy: lol, it is the same function.  kdesu konqueror will open konqueror with sudo privlages to edit permissions, etc.  and now i see gksudo nautilus does the same, but via nautilus, and no web browsing capability
[05:48] <Agent_bob> arooni-mobile have two alt keys ?   try the other linux seperates them
[05:49] <Evanlec> |xianai|, my numlock light has never turned on...i dont think i have a numlock light lol
[05:49] <ryan_> Hi, I've done a lot of search, but with no luck. I have a Microsoft Mouse and have managed to configure all of it's buttons, etc, but the mouse wheel is far too sensitive. Does anyone know how to adjust this?
[05:49] <george> mine was broken too, but i thought it was caused by the coffee i spilt on my keyboard.
[05:49] <tag-> fuck all
[05:49] <|xianai|> Evanlec: then caps lock led ?
[05:49] <george> too much time and energy

[05:49] <ryan_> Yes.
[05:49] <usr13> Evanlec: I see... Yes. Well I was told early on, to make the first partition  the one you need to have fast seek times on. I assumed that  information was correct. Turns out it was / is.  Ok. good. thanks for that.
[05:49] <Evanlec> |xianai|, no i dont have any led's apparently lol
[05:50] <secret901> Agent_bob: I see sda1... but I don't see them in /dev
[05:50] <n2diy> zgmf-x20a: No browsing?!? Are you sure, type a URL in Nautilus's address bar and see what happens?
[05:50] <|xianai|> Evanlec: all buttons working except the leds
[05:50] <Agent_bob> tag- please keep it clean.   and no i don't know anything about the gnome themes
[05:50] <Evanlec> usr13, yea...bad news for me...my windows partition is the first partition....ugh, moving it takes FOREVER
[05:50] <jgraham_> secret901, the path for that scsi drive would be /dev/sda1
[05:50] <george> i dislike themes
[05:50] <jgraham_> try to 'ls /dev/sda1'
[05:50] <_Keef_> could someone help me please, postfix receives the messages puts them in queue but can't send them

[06:02] <Kento> I am a Mac user. Is there any reason I should get Ubuntu?
[06:02] <iamme> Thanks
[06:02] <threethirty> kento: freedom
[06:02] <_Keef_> could someone please help me? I haven't been able to get back to work for 3 hours because I can't get postfix to work!
[06:03] <n2diy> Kento: discovery.
[06:03] <brack10> I'm trying to build a plugin for pidgin, and it tells me to browse to the apporpriate source tree and run "make plugin.so" but when I do that it tells me make: *** No rule to make target `xmppconsole.so'.  Stop
[06:03] <ce_pekoxz> huu
[06:03] <brack10> anyone have any ideas?
[06:05] <Kento> I'm sympathetic to these notions, I know how much a difference an OS can make, (I can predict macs are not popular here, but for me they're much better than Windows machines), but what does Ubuntu offer specifically?
[06:05] <prak> is launchpad the tool where I can sign up for software development support roles to further advance ubuntu?
[06:05] <threethirty> ! freedom | Kento
[06:05] <ubotu> Kento: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing
[06:06] <Biju> What Kernel comes on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon or how May I find out ?
[06:06] <Biju> I have the DVD copy
[06:06] <n2diy> Kento: discovery, freedom, and you get to spend your money somewhere else?
[06:06] <_Keef_> could someone please help me? I haven't been able to get back to work for 3 hours because I can't get postfix to work!
[06:06] <Evanlec> Biju, uname -r  ... gutsy uses 2.6.22-14
[06:07] <Kento> I guess I'll give it a try.
[06:07] <Biju> Thank you
[06:07] <alfrin> After a routine update and reboot it reloaded to not having nvidia drivers, failing X server from loading, unfortunately I now can't download since my wireless card is no longer being detected, I'm currently in the Live CD trying to see if there is anyway I can start fixing this, does anyone have an idea
[06:07] <LoCusF> What has happened to kbemusedsrv in Gutsy Gibbon Kubuntu? I can't enable it anymore from anywhere in the settings and it seems that the newest kdebluetooth doesn't have it.
[06:07] <brack10> okay figured that out
[06:07] <brack10> now how do I run a command as root?
[06:07] <n2diy> Kento: Good luck, and where else will you find 1170 people waiting to help you?
[06:07] <_Keef_> has anyone here got smtp working under 7.10/

[06:07] <brack10> ok
[06:08] <george> exim
[06:08] <threethirty> Kento: before you  try don't be upset if you can't get DRM'ed files to play, that's the idea, Linux is Defective By Design... I get a lot of DRM questions and wanted to get that out of the way
[06:08] <brack10>  Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:08] <Kento> I don't intend to do a full switch at this point.
[06:08] <brack10> linux is confusing :P
[06:08] <_Keef_> brack10: use sudo...
[06:08] <brack10> I did
[06:08] <brack10> here's thr string
[06:09] <brack10> sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[06:09] <_Keef_> then another package manager is open
[06:09] <alfrin> Is there anyone who might help me get my wireless to work again, it stopped suddenly after an update
[06:09] <brack10> jeez you guys are smart
[06:09] <n2diy> brack10: find the lock file in that directory, and delete it.
[06:09] <george> that means another package manager is open
[06:09] <george> kill it
[06:09] <brack10> you were right
[06:09] <MilitantPotato> How do I find the path to a file in terminal?
[06:09] <threethirty> Kento: none of us ever do, i left windows becuase of authentication issues (before WGA) and I have been running a linux only household ever since
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> find / -fprint "file"
[06:10] <n2diy> brack10: after you try what george sayes
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> ?
[06:10] <Kento> Well, I'm not entirely sure I could do everything my work requires with Ubuntu.
[06:10] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: locate "filename"
[06:10] <marlowe> hi i have a problem with my newly installed fiesty. It does not continue on boot. just hangs on the progress bar loading. When i restart and use the recovery mode. everything looks ok. except the limtied features that i am able to use. Need help ? thanks
[06:11] <threethirty> Kento: in that case i'd dual boot or you can run it in parrells or VMware fusion
[06:11] <Kento> I'm going to dual boot it.
[06:11] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: ty, how about an application name and not get spammed with other things with the program name in it?
[06:12] <threethirty> Kento: a buddy of mine is running ubuntu in parells and has the thing where if you slap the screen it switches oses
[06:12] <Kento> I was just wondering whether I really should invest the time in doing this. I might have to reformat my harddrive, which is a chore.
[06:12] <n2diy> MilitantPotato:  ?? run locate, and the name of the file you are trying to locate!?
[06:12] <pkh> Kento, can I recommend getting a small external usb hdd
[06:12] <george> if i slap my screen, my screen falls on the floor
[06:13] <threethirty> kento: personally (coming from a free software zealout) yes i would do it, but i have a strong bias
[06:13] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: I did locate amarok and got 100+ lines of things found
[06:13] <n2diy> george, don't do that! :)
[06:13] <marlowe> Help on booting up  fiesty on a turion x2 acer aspire.  Fiesty does not load during bootup except on recovery mode
[06:13] <Kento> Parallels is a strange recommendation coming from a free software zealot.
[06:13] <pkh> Kento, then disable the internal hdd in bios, and ubuntu will happily install on the external without touching the internal.  once it's good re-enable the internal hdd and the pc will be exactly as it was.  insert and choose the external hdd to run ubuntu
[06:13] <dvs01> nite all
[06:14] <threethirty> Kento: I know but I'm not sure if Zen runs on a Mac
[06:14] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: this happens, you have to narrow down your search. It is a puzzle, and you need to find more clues.
[06:15] <threethirty> Kento: or go with pkh's idea, I like that one, would have never thought of it
[06:16] <pkh> Kento, if you want to get a feel for ubuntu, i'd avoid parallels/vmware/etc.  they take away the 'feel' of the os because everything's slow jerky and doesn't flow.
[06:16] <CharlesG> Hi. I've got a Dell Latitude D810 dual booting XP and a fresh install of Ubuntu, and Ubuntu seems to consistently lock up after around half an hour of use. Is there any sort of known issue of this sort?
[06:16] <marlowe> hi guys. can anybody give me a hint on how to fix my fiesty. PRoblem is during bootup it just goes on a hang state during loading of the progress bar.
[06:16] <marlowe> thanks
[06:16] <pkh> CharlesG, look up memtest86
[06:17] <threethirty> Kento: welp may the source be with you, im off to bed now, good luck and happy hacking
[06:17] <n2diy> CharlesG: Is it a laptop, hibernating?
[06:17] <pkh> CharlesG, that's where I'd look first.
[06:17] <wtlconfusesme> i had ubuntu on vmware workstation untill it expired ( the license ). i cant live without my xp. Any simple way to install ubuntu without uninstalling my xp?
[06:17] <Kento> Alright, I'll give this a try.
[06:17] <CharlesG> It's a laptop, and I have not tried to hibernate since installing Ubuntu.
[06:17] <wtlconfusesme> or any link
[06:17] <ubuntu__> Hi, I have the grub problem, when I try to load XP.
[06:17] <Kento> Anything to avoid using X11.
[06:17] <CharlesG> I'll look into memtest86.
[06:18] <defcon> ok I have this user account that I am trying to disable internet access in Ubuntu Gutsy and I have everything unchecked in edit users and groups but this user can still access wifi
[06:18] <Kento> the Mac OS X11
[06:18] <defcon> how do I disable a users wifi access
[06:18] <wtlconfusesme> ah grup is very confusing, i want a program that will configure dual booting for me, while i take a nap
[06:18] <wtlconfusesme> grub
[06:18] <pkh> wtlconfusesme, i'm running ubuntu from a 2.5"usb hdd right now.  just make sure you remove or disable the internal hdd when installing so it doesn't touch the internal hdd
[06:18] <Nitrogen> anyone from the UK
[06:19] <wtlconfusesme> pkh > so is it live a "live CD" ?
[06:19] <Nitrogen> 07983534514 - prank it
[06:19] <CharlesG> Thanks. I guess I'll boot into memtest86 now.
[06:19] <ubuntu__> Grub - How can I get the Hare Drive Back
[06:19] <wtlconfusesme> and what is hdd ?
[06:19] <wtlconfusesme> hehe
[06:19] <marlowe> help on bootup problem.
[06:20] <n2diy> CharlesG, good night, it will run for a long time.
[06:20] <pkh> wtlconfusesme, no, it's a hard-drive with ubuntu on it. i just disabled the internal windows drive, plugged in the external drive and isntalled ubuntu.  now if I have the external usb hdd plugged in on boot I gt ubuntu, otherwise I get windows.
[06:20] <_Keef_> could someone please help me to fix my postfix problem?
[06:20] <pkh> wtlconfusesme, and the ubuntu installer can't see th ewindows disk on install so it can't f*&k with it at all.
[06:20] <MilitantPotato> argh.
[06:21] <MilitantPotato> there's no way to restrict locate to echoing only applications?
[06:21] <n2diy> _Keef_: if somebody new the answer, they would help you.
[06:21] <pkh> MilitantPotato, try which
[06:21] <Evanlec> okay quick question: how do i upgrade from 7.10 release candidate to 7.10 official ? i just need the OS to understand it so i can use the 7.10 official cd
[06:21] <pkh> i.e. which xchat
[06:21] <MilitantPotato> pkh: thank you very much :)
[06:21] <wtlconfusesme> phk > you said you have it in usb pen drive ?
[06:21] <Jimdb> evanlec:  just do the updates normally and you'll have the official 7.10
[06:22] <wtlconfusesme> no thats too big
[06:22] <Evanlec> Jimdb, yes i know...but like for instance im trying to install a package, its askin for my release candidate cd, i put in my official cd and it wont take it...
[06:22] <_Keef_> n2diy: it doesn't seem like a hard task, I'm sure plenty of people know how to do it
[06:22] <pkh> wtlconfusesme, yes.  but it's a 2.5" usb laptop drive.  a normal laptop drive in an enclosure with a usb lead, but basically the same as a en-drive
[06:22] <Evanlec> Jimdb, how do i get it to realise that its now official?
[06:22] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: try /etc/app.name?
[06:22] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: which said /usr/bin/appname
[06:23] <Jimdb> evanlec:  look into your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove references to your cd
[06:23] <wtlconfusesme> by the way, ubuntu does not come with gnu compiler tools by default , right?
[06:23] <Evanlec> Jimdb, alright, thats one way to do i spose...but isnt there a way to do like dist-upgrade or package upgrade or something so im "7.10 official" according to the os
[06:23] <pkh> I'm quickly losing my mind!!!  has anyone got any knowledge on how to set up usbserial devices???
[06:23] <n2diy> _Keef_: you might be right, but nobody, here, now knows the answer.
[06:23] <Biju> http://pastebin.com/m44b09a35       lsmod           http://pastebin.com/m2a003960         dmesg . Could anyone look at these and explain what  might be doing wrong with y Tv Tuner. Ive pretty much tried every single troubleshooting based thread :(
[06:24] <Evanlec> wtlconfusesme, no, just grab build-essential package from apt
[06:24] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: so you found it, good!
[06:24] <wtlconfusesme> i see,tx
[06:24] <stick-guy> I keep getting the following error in /var/log/messages: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting
[06:24] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: yep pkh told me about the which command.
[06:25] <stick-guy> I've replaced the ipw2200 .fw files in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ a half-dozen times, restarted a few times, and I keep getting this problem
[06:25] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: But.... is it compiled, or a binary?
[06:25] <stick-guy> it might be notable that the problem only happens when the network card is under a heavy load
[06:25] <Evanlec> anyone know if gutsy-proposed repository is safe to use regularly?
[06:25] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: it was from synaptic, so pre-compiled I'd take it.
[06:26] <pkh> stick-guy, i've had similar problems and they happened when things got heavy as well.  just an issue with the drivers I'd say.
[06:26] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: Ok, I would agree. Is there a config file in the directory?
[06:26] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: nope
[06:27] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: A readme?
[06:27] <stick-guy> pkh: you haven't had any luck fixing them? I had this problem in Gentoo, but replacing/upgrading the firmware fixed it, so I know it can be fixed
[06:27] <ddalton> Hey I have a mate wanting to boot a ubuntu livecd and test it out. Is a 1.6 ghz cpu and 512 mb ram enough?
[06:27] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: nope
[06:27] <stick-guy> ddalton: yes
[06:27] <ddalton> good
[06:27] <pkh> stick-guy, haven't looked into it -- it's only me f.g.'s laptop and only used for basic stuff -- only had problems while restoring all her files...
[06:28] <stick-guy> hm
[06:28] <pkh> MilitantPotato, what are you trying to do?
[06:28] <MilitantPotato> amarok amarokapp amarokcollectionscanner amarok_daapserver.rb amarok_libvisual amarok_proxy.rb
[06:28] <daaku> i borked a remote system's fstab and now it mounts the root ro (although mount says its rw -wierd?) - 'mount -o remount,rw /' doesnt help. anyone know what i can do to fix?
[06:28] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: A make?
[06:28] <MilitantPotato> pkh: find the path to an application, the command which did it for me.
[06:28] <tamu> chubby
[06:28] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: nah, it's already installed
[06:29] <wtlconfusesme> i like my IRC client, its written in WTL :)
[06:29] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: have you tried running in a terminal?
[06:29] <wtlconfusesme> im on windows of course
[06:29] <MilitantPotato> wtlconfusesme: must be confusing.
[06:29] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: yes, it works, I just needed the path :)
[06:30] <heatxsink> anyone in here use parallels to run ubuntu in a vm for development?
[06:30] <wtlconfusesme> lol yep, second time i use IRC in my life, and WTL poping windows framework is very buggy
[06:30] <wtlconfusesme> and IRC is confusing too
[06:30] <wtlconfusesme> docking*
[06:30] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: ??????????? Hmmmmm, thinking.
[06:31] <MilitantPotato> wtlconfusesme: IRC is pretty confusing, I called hassled for calling a channel a room.
[06:31] <MilitantPotato> I got hassled*
[06:31] <levander> Is there a command to determine what video driver X is currently using?
[06:31] <wtlconfusesme> i am used to yahoo chat. i call these, chat roooms too
[06:32] <ganeshhegde> in frostwire where ll incomplete fill store?
[06:32] <MilitantPotato> n2diy: typing which amarok did it for me :)
[06:33]  * wtlconfusesme tests irc
[06:33] <n2diy> MilitantPotato: ok, does ls /proc/amarok tell you that too?
[06:33] <MilitantPotato> how do you open a file and not run the risk of breaking it from an accidental editing?
[06:34] <wtlconfusesme> make it read only?
[06:34] <pkh> it you only want to see it, just cat
[06:34] <MilitantPotato> ls: /proc/amarok: No such file or directory
[06:34] <MilitantPotato> levander: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:34] <MilitantPotato> look for...
[06:34] <ganeshhegde> pkh:in frostwire where ll incomplete fill store?
[06:35] <Markov_> hey. how do i turn on the cool 3d cube rotation?
[06:35] <pkh> ganeshhegde, that made no sense at all
[06:35] <MilitantPotato> levander: Section "Device"  then driver "driver.name"
[06:35] <Markov_> i have comjpiz config manager installed...
[06:36] <MilitantPotato> Markov_: Enable desktop cube and rotate cube
[06:36] <wtlconfusesme> wow im using a server named kubrick.freenode.net and i didnt know
[06:36] <shishir> how to make that windows blowing off option when we close them in compiz-fusion
[06:36] <Barbarello> hi
[06:36] <MilitantPotato> shishir: animation plugin
[06:36] <shishir> hwo to add
[06:36] <MilitantPotato> shishir: click it, then change the Close window effect
[06:36] <Markov_> MilitantPotato: I tried that but it just flips from side to side w/o showing the entire cube. any idea how to get the "entire cube" view?
[06:37] <MilitantPotato> Markov_: Rotate cube.
[06:37] <kkathman> Markov_,  go to ccsm - rotate cube and adjust zoom
[06:37] <ganeshhegde> pkh:I mean while downloading something using frostwire only after full download it appears in destination location..but if  i want to see preview where file ll be?
[06:37] <MilitantPotato> Markov_: ctrl+alt+mouse1
[06:38] <wtlconfusesme> ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop, which uses the GTK+ ( GTK+ 2 ) programming language for programming against its GUI  . GTK stands for Gimp Toolkit
[06:38] <MilitantPotato> I'm not sure if that's the default though.
[06:38] <kkathman> Chances are Markov_  you just dont have the zoom set at all
[06:38] <shishir> wo thanks militantpotato
[06:38] <MilitantPotato> :)
[06:38] <MilitantPotato> shishir: what are you using?
[06:38] <Markov_> you're both right: zoom + ctrl alt click = what i want :)
[06:38] <Markov_> thanks much!
[06:39] <MilitantPotato> np :)
[06:39] <wtlconfusesme> i mean, GTK is not a programming lang of course, but a library
[06:39] <kkathman> yah the default settings are kinda odd
[06:39] <MilitantPotato> Markov_: #compiz-fusion is a good channel for help with it
[06:39]  * wtlconfusesme talking to myself
[06:40] <Markov_> roger that
[06:40] <shishir> compiz-fusion
[06:40] <ganeshhegde> wtlconfusesme: while downloading something using frostwire only after full download it appears in destination location..but if  i want to see preview where file ll be?
[06:41] <MilitantPotato> shishir: driver wise I ment :)
[06:41] <wtlconfusesme> gane, i have no idea what frostwire is
[06:41] <wtlconfusesme> sorry
[06:41] <kkathman> Markov__, shishir  also check out the compiz-fusion wiki - lots of info there especially on each ccsm setting:  http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/
[06:41] <ganeshhegde> wtlconfusesme:k thanx..

[07:09] <Barborello> hi again
[07:09] <Radio1> U R
[07:11] <lwizardl> hi
[07:11] <Barborello> i wanna get conaxant modem drivers full version. But offsite requiares a payment ( Is here anywhere shared driver to download?
[07:11] <jschiff> hello..
[07:11] <dahitokiri> where are built kernel files located in ubuntu?
[07:11] <Barborello> so, unutu is free, but no free support to hardware (
[07:11] <lwizardl> besides k3B what cd/dvd writer can also verify burns? i'm tired of k3b having troubles reading blank discs
[07:12] <jschiff> use
[07:12] <jschiff> cdrecord
[07:12] <Radio1> Buy a zoom modem..way better and is lightening protected.
[07:12] <jschiff> it's a simple command line based cd burning tool
[07:13] <lwizardl> jschiff, i prefer gui so i can just drag the files i want to burn
[07:13] <jschiff> are u using gnome or ubuntu?
[07:13] <jschiff> i mean.. kde
[07:13] <dahitokiri> jschiff, you can always do a checksum on the burnt files
[07:13] <jschiff> dahitokiri it was lwizardl who wants to know..
[07:13] <dahitokiri> oops, sorry, lol
[07:14] <jschiff> =p
[07:14] <hagabaka> hmm, i don't like the changes to the aptitude command line...
[07:14] <jschiff> may i pose a question to everyone?
[07:14] <jschiff> i'm interested to know.. why you all like ubuntu?
[07:14] <gwi> Can anyone tell me what this error means: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x1c00000 action 0x2 frozen
[07:15] <hagabaka> 1) it changes upgrade to safe-upgrade, 2) it adds aptitude-stuff programs which interferes with my tab completion muscle memory
[07:15] <jschiff> hagabaka, don't u find it frustrating that ubuntu literally forces you to upgrade to 7.10?
[07:16] <jschiff> and along with that comes a whole bunch of packages you don't want
[07:16] <hagabaka> does it?
[07:16] <jschiff> well, it doesn't force you, but did you?
[07:16] <hagabaka> i did, but it's because i like new stuff :)
[07:16] <jschiff> hehe
[07:16] <jschiff> have u been distro hopping yet?
[07:17] <jschiff> or is ubuntu your first linux distro?
[07:17] <hagabaka> second, first was slackware
[07:17] <jschiff> heh, nice start
[07:17] <Cyber_Stalker> how would i go about installing php
[07:17] <Cyber_Stalker> ?
[07:17] <jschiff> lets see, i'v tried ubuntu, gentoo, arch linux, suse, fedora, slackware
[07:17] <jschiff> uh..
[07:17] <dahitokiri> jschiff, i've used ubuntu, gentoo, slackware, redhat. ubuntu is by far the most maintainable thus far.
[07:17] <jschiff> my favorite so far seems to be, arch linux
[07:18] <jschiff> ubuntu annoys me, with it's similarity to windows
[07:18] <dahitokiri> don't use gnome/kde?
[07:18] <jschiff> well.. i do use kde now
[07:18] <Cyber_Stalker> any one know how to install php? :DF
[07:18] <jschiff> apt-cache search php
[07:19] <jschiff> find the package u need
[07:19] <jschiff> apt-get install it
[07:19] <jschiff> =]
[07:19] <Cyber_Stalker> lol
[07:19] <Cyber_Stalker> gone through em all basically
[07:19] <dahitokiri> Cyber_Stalker, snyaptic package manager -> search -> "php" -> php 5
[07:19] <Cyber_Stalker> ive never done this before and dont know anything about it
[07:19] <jschiff> isn't it just php5?
[07:20] <szkud> my Movie Player is outputting the colors all wrong, but searching for "Movie Player" problems doesn't exatcly crop up a lot of relevant answers.
[07:20] <jschiff> apt-get install php
[07:20] <jschiff> php5
[07:20] <jschiff> *
[07:20] <jschiff> szkud, what movie player u using?
[07:20] <Cyber_Stalker> server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2 module)
[07:20] <szkud> the Gnome movie player
[07:20] <jschiff> totem?
[07:20] <szkud> I think it's totem
[07:20] <Cyber_Stalker> Please note that this package
[07:20] <Cyber_Stalker> ONLY works with Apache's prefork MPM,
[07:20] <jschiff> hmmm
[07:20] <jschiff> szkud do u have all the gstreamer codecs installed?
[07:21] <szkud> skin tones are blue and green :/
[07:21] <szkud> I do.
[07:21] <jschiff> szkud, personally i hate totem.. i would try mplayer
[07:21] <szkud> VLC outputs the colors right... but it's choppy and tears
[07:21] <jschiff> szkud, are any other of your colors anywhere messed up?
[07:21] <jschiff> ah ic..
[07:22] <jschiff> this may be a prob with your graphics card
[07:22] <szkud> nope. just in that player
[07:22] <jschiff> what card u got?
[07:22] <Cyber_Stalker> php install going
[07:22] <Cyber_Stalker> lets hope
[07:22] <jschiff> grats =p
[07:22] <jschiff> hehe, u guys remind me of my ubuntu days =]
[07:22] <szkud> ATi Raedeon x1600
[07:22] <jschiff> which drivers do u have installed szkud?
[07:22] <jschiff> open source or proprietary?
[07:23] <szkud> fglrx
[07:23] <jschiff> hmm..
[07:23] <dragonfly>  #ubuntu-th
[07:23] <jschiff> try mplayer
[07:23] <jschiff> and make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is set correctly
[07:24]  * neur1 is away: I'm busy
[07:24] <szkud> alright. I'm getting mplayer right now
[07:24] <hagabaka> does vlc tear the video in normal playback or only when you seek?
[07:24] <jschiff> as far as i'v known.. i'v had no problems with vlc ever
[07:24] <szkud> ...whole lot of extra packages. hopefully that'll clean it up for everything
[07:24] <hagabaka> the latter is normal behavior for vlc, for me
[07:25] <jschiff> ah i see..
[07:25] <jschiff> ever since i switched to Arch Linux, i have had absolutely zero problems
[07:25] <jschiff> sound works, wireless card works, core dynamic click speeds work, everthing is fast, i love it =]
[07:25] <szkud> this is my first linux coming off of mostly mac os
[07:26] <jschiff> szkud, ubuntu is a great place to start
[07:26] <jschiff> but by no means, is ubuntu the ONLY distrobution out there
[07:26] <szkud> gutsy supported my wifi card, that not even madwifi or ndiswrapper supported
[07:26] <jschiff> heh..
[07:26] <szkud> yeah. I would like to get into rpm distros
[07:26] <jschiff> the thing about ubuntu 7.10 that i don't like.. is that it's bloated
[07:26] <jschiff> really really bloated
[07:27] <jschiff> but not as bloated as openSuse or Fedora
[07:27] <szkud> once I get to the point where I can not just 'use' but understand ubuntu I'll be going to openSuSE and CentOS
[07:27] <jschiff> uh oh..
[07:28] <jschiff> i would "strongly" recommend against openSuse :p
[07:28] <szkud> for what issues?
[07:28] <jschiff> there are many reasons.. 1 it's Very slow doing everything
[07:28] <jschiff> 2.. it acts very much like windows and novell is now "allied" with microsoft
[07:28] <buttercups> troll
[07:28] <jschiff> so theres all these "advanced" tabs and such
[07:29] <jschiff> 3. the package management is slow and not very configureable
[07:29] <szkud> :[ that's discouraging.
[07:29] <Flynsarmy> What is with those alliances? MS won't sue  people who join up with them but what else does the deal involve?
[07:29] <jschiff> fedora is slightly better than openSuse in my humble opinion
[07:29] <emaconline> hey guys
[07:29] <emaconline> can help me install the latest java runtine on my ubuntu gutsy?
[07:30] <szkud> SuSE is more of a server OS from what I'm told though.
[07:30] <jschiff> heh
[07:30] <jschiff> all my servers run debian
[07:30] <vega-> i just installed linux-source in gutsy and when extracting the .tar.bz2 i find the debian/ directory empty, shouldn't it contain the default ubuntu kernel configs etc.?
[07:30] <szkud> I think that I'm best off building a PC that will love on CentOS
[07:30] <jschiff> I'v never tried CentOS so good luck, =]]]
[07:30] <jschiff> gentoo is a fun expidition lol
[07:31] <szkud> MPlayer is acting the same way VLC was
[07:31] <jschiff> really?
[07:31] <jschiff> hmm then it's a problem with your graphics card driver
[07:31] <szkud> but it behaves properly in totem
[07:31] <szkud> save the colors
[07:31] <jschiff> hmm.. that is strange
[07:32] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, use sudo apt-get install sun-java-jdk
[07:32] <emaconline> guys isnt java included on the apt packages?
[07:32] <jschiff> yes
[07:32] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, it is there
[07:32] <jschiff> emaconline, if you need to search for a package a useful command is apt-cache search java
[07:32] <szkud> select "All Available Applications"
[07:32] <emaconline> i get this: E: Couldn't find package sun-java-jdk
[07:33] <jschiff> *slaps szkud* no using the GUI! :P
[07:33] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, sun-java6-jdk
[07:33] <jschiff> emaconline, do apt-cache search java
[07:33] <szkud> D:
[07:33] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, yeah search, best way to go
[07:33] <jschiff> Gui's give you cancer szkud
[07:33] <shishir> guys i wanna install puppy linux so need some free disk space wanna reduce my ubuntu ext3 partitoin how to do please help
[07:34] <szkud> I'm only going to use them until I have a comfortable workspace
[07:34] <jschiff> hehe =] fine by me
[07:34] <emaconline> still error:
[07:34] <emaconline> E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-jdk
[07:34] <jschiff> emaconline, do apt-cache search java
[07:34] <jschiff> ..
[07:34] <szkud> shishir: boot from a live search and use the partition utility
[07:34] <szkud> live disk*
[07:34] <jschiff> shishir, or use fdisk
[07:35] <jschiff> fdisk /dev/hda
[07:35] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, use sudo apt-get update
[07:35] <shishir> fdisk on ubuntu
[07:35] <emaconline> errr tried that already
[07:36] <jschiff> shishir, your best bet would be to use a partitioning utility that are on most distro live CD's
[07:36] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, type sudo apt-get install sun (and press tab multiple times)
[07:36] <[chr0n0s]> tab = tab key
[07:36] <jschiff> chronos that won't work
[07:36] <jschiff> theres no auto completion for packages
[07:36] <jschiff> emac.. simply do apt-cache search java
[07:36] <[chr0n0s]> jschiff, works for me jschiff
[07:36] <[chr0n0s]> damn :S
[07:37] <jschiff> find the java runtime package then apt-get install that package
[07:37] <jschiff> chronos do u have bash_completion?
[07:37] <jschiff> /etc/bash_completion
[07:37] <[chr0n0s]> jschiff, yeah
[07:37] <jschiff> good program =)
[07:38] <[chr0n0s]> it's there in gutsy
[07:38] <jschiff> heh.. gutsy is so bloated
[07:38] <[chr0n0s]> "it just works"
[07:38] <jschiff> unless it doesn't
[07:38] <jschiff> then ur screwed =)

[07:49] <emaconline> gutsy
[07:49] <emaconline> i am tryin to run eclipse but keeps on giving me error about my java
[07:49] <emaconline> so i have to install java
[07:49] <jschiff> heh
[07:49] <jschiff> sounds resonable to me
[07:50] <SuperQ> all the sun java packages are "sun-java6-*"
[07:50] <inversekinetix> i have 3 questions, I wonder if anyone can help.
[07:50] <[chr0n0s]> !ask | inversekinetix
[07:50] <ubotu> inversekinetix: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:50] <jschiff> inversekinetix.. go ahead
[07:50] <SuperQ> apt-cache search sun-java6
[07:50] <Gatestone> I have  grep ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE /etc/default/acpi-support
[07:50] <Gatestone> ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false
[07:50] <Gatestone> So I am safe for the hard disk spin bug, is that right?
[07:51] <SuperQ> Gatestone: the hard disk spin bug is overstated
[07:51] <inversekinetix> i have 3 questions, I wonder if anyone can help  <<< none interogative statement
[07:51] <jschiff> inversekinetix go go go
[07:51] <[chr0n0s]> inversekinetix, i doubt now :P
[07:51] <szkud> what's the linux equivalent to Flash FXP?
[07:51] <Cyber_Stalker> !ask inversekinetix
[07:51] <jschiff> FXP?
[07:51] <Cyber_Stalker> !ask | inversekinetix
[07:51] <ubotu> inversekinetix: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:51] <inversekinetix> 1.  why can I not remove a usb HD or flash drive without getting a "unsafe removal " warning
[07:52] <dxdt> If I downloaded a new theme in the format tar.gz, what do I do with it?
[07:52] <Cyber_Stalker> just ask your question
[07:52] <[chr0n0s]> inversekinetix, unmount it
[07:52] <jschiff> 1) becuase it's ubuntu
[07:52] <szkud> it's a FTP client
[07:52] <jschiff> and ubuntu is drifting towards windows
[07:52] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: you need to stop/unmount it before removing it
[07:52] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, untar it
[07:52] <dxdt> inversekinetix: because it is unsafe.  It isn't just an ubuntu thing, Windows says the same thing, but less bitchy.  All you do is umount it first.
[07:52] <Gatestone> SuperQ: anyway, with (default Gutsy) laptop mode false all our company Dell Laittude D620 users are absolutely safe, can I trust my career on that?
[07:52] <dxdt> [chr0n0s]: did, now what?  I have a bunch of files (obviously) but I don't know what to do with them?
[07:52] <SuperQ> Gatestone: it's a complex subject
[07:53] <jschiff> apt-rape
[07:53] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, search for README or INSTALL file in that
[07:53] <dxdt> none
[07:53] <SuperQ> Gatestone: I take it you read the slashdot linked article
[07:53] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, then look for install docs on website, or you can try ./configure
[07:53] <Gatestone> SuperQ: so you are saying that even with no laptop mode there can still be a hard disk extra spin isssue?
[07:54] <SuperQ> Gatestone: the spin issue, really isn't an issue
[07:54] <inversekinetix> dxdt: the error tells me to eject the device using the context sensitive menu.  there is no 'eject' to choose so i choose unmount, the device is unmounted and when i pull the cord I get the "unsafe removal" warning anyway, it then refuses to mount any USB device
[07:54] <dxdt> [chr0n0s]: ok, I see where you are going with this, but you are wrong, this is a theme, not a program that I'm going to be compiling using ./configure and make and such
[07:54] <SuperQ> Gatestone: that's the short answer
[07:54] <Gatestone> SuperQ, ok I'll go read it.
[07:54] <SuperQ> Gatestone: don't
[07:54] <SuperQ> the article was crap
[07:54] <jschiff> inversekinetix: switch distros :)
[07:54] <dxdt> I think you might have missed the first part of my question about it
[07:54] <Cyber_Stalker> !mysql
[07:54] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:54] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, theme import interface can import zipped files i guess
[07:54] <musikgoat> inversekinetix: right click on the icon on your desktop, there is no eject?
[07:54] <SuperQ> Gatestone: disk spindown is a complex issue, I wouldn't worry about it
[07:54] <Gatestone> SuperQ: So where do I get the exact answer, not the short one?
[07:55] <inversekinetix> musikgoat:  no eject
[07:55] <dxdt> but not tar gz cause I tried that and it wasn't down.  It didn't work :9
[07:55] <SuperQ> Gatestone: there is no exact answer
[07:55] <dxdt> just says "The file format is invalid"
[07:55] <Cyber_Stalker> when i was talking about PHP and MYsql some one COULD have just said install lamp
[07:55] <Cyber_Stalker> ....
[07:55] <Gatestone> SuperQ: My colleagues who depend on my support DO worry.
[07:55] <inversekinetix> any ideas? no eject, only unmount
[07:56] <SuperQ> Gatestone: do you backup your laptops?
[07:56] <Gatestone> SuperQ: What no exact answer? You mean nobody knows the details? Huh?
[07:56] <jschiff> inverse: unmount should work
[07:56] <[chr0n0s]> inversekinetix, its the same
[07:56] <jschiff> Gatestone: calm down =)
[07:56] <Gatestone> SuperQ: Weh
[07:56] <dxdt> maybe the file is just corrupt?
[07:56] <SuperQ> Gatestone: no, I mean that you can't even trust hard drive manufacturing people to tell the truth about their products
[07:56] <inversekinetix> chr0n0s i thought so but it still gives the unsafe removal warning
[07:57] <SuperQ> Gatestone: your colleagues should be more worried if you don't do backups
[07:57] <rafael__> jschiff, i didnt find anything on google about the wireless =\
[07:57] <Gatestone>  SuperQ: We have two disks. One for Windows, strictly managed for 160 000 people. The other disk some people use for Ubuntu, not managed, everybody takes care of their own backups..
[07:57] <jschiff> rafael, what wireless?
[07:57] <SuperQ> Gatestone: that's RETARDED
[07:57] <rafael__> jschiff, my wireless... that network interface configuring...
[07:57] <[chr0n0s]> 160,000 ppl !
[07:57] <inversekinetix> anyways, that problem has remained unsolved for a week now
[07:57] <rafael__> jschiff, i need to turn it off , and before login i turn on the wireless
[07:58] <jschiff> rafael, are u on a laptop?
[07:58] <Gatestone> SiperQ: What do you mean, retarded to allow people to experiment with Ubuntu?
[07:58] <MilitantPotato> for the love of god, how do you compile a source package?
[07:58] <SuperQ> Gatestone: no, that you don't provide backup solutions
[07:58] <rafael__> jschiff, yes
[07:58] <sSiroSoriSs> !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:58] <inversekinetix> problem number 2.  how can I remove icons from the applications menu.  edit menu does not work,
[07:58] <jschiff> rafael, do u mean turn on the POWER to ur wireless card?
[07:58] <sSiroSoriSs> !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:58] <SuperQ> Gatestone: are you talking about desktops or laptops?
[07:58] <rafael__> jschiff, yes
[07:58] <jschiff> rafael, o dear..
[07:59] <sSiroSoriSs> !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:59] <jschiff> rafael, in fact i am having the same problem on arch linux =)
[07:59] <Gatestone> The machines are not even allowed on the corporate network while booted in Ubuntu. We have alternative networks, like this Wi-Fi connection I am using now.
[07:59] <jschiff> rafael, i disabled eth0 from even loading
[07:59] <Gatestone> SuperQ: see above
[07:59] <rafael__> jschiff, i know its possible to skip or disable that.. im not sure what i did before..  maybe something about the ipv6 ? no ?
[07:59] <jschiff> rafael, but i do have to sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:59] <jschiff> and then
[07:59] <Gatestone> SuperQ: laptops
[07:59] <jschiff> sudo dhcpcd wlan0
[07:59] <inversekinetix> anyone?
[07:59] <SuperQ> Gatestone: so use backuppc
[07:59] <Gatestone> SuperQ: laptops mostly
[08:00] <rafael__> jschiff, i see. i comment #  the wlan  dhcp  .. nothing happened here
[08:00] <SuperQ> Gatestone: can you point me to a specific ubuntu bug number on launchpad?
[08:00] <SuperQ> Gatestone: I'm willing to help you research this a bit
[08:00] <syc_> greeting....
[08:00] <jschiff> rafael, it's timing out because it's not plugged in with a ethernet cable
[08:00] <jschiff> eth0 is timing out
[08:00] <cyphase> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/31/enabling-the-motion-sensor-on-the-macbook-for-physical-neverball/   <-- awesome
[08:00] <jschiff> and wlan0 isn't getting activated
[08:00] <syc_> holaaa... gutsy is awesome !!
[08:00] <SuperQ> syc_: yep
[08:00] <jschiff> syc_: i strongly disagree
[08:00] <rafael__> jschiff, hm .. so how to fix ?
[08:01] <inversekinetix> almost awesome
[08:01] <Gatestone> SuperQ: the Ubuntus are personal hopbbies and lab machines. It is perfectly ok for us that evrybody takes care of their own backups, we don't want to centralize that because the Linux machines are not even on the same networks.
[08:01] <jschiff> rafael, i don't know =/
[08:01] <musikgoat> has anyone started lookiing into the hardware specs and future ubuntu support for the asus eee 4g or 8g?
[08:01] <rafael__> jschiff, too bad
[08:01] <SuperQ> Gatestone: ok
[08:01] <Cyber_Stalker> i keep getting this error when trying to install mysql: please see http://rafb.net/p/yhC8Z866.html
[08:01] <Gatestone> But we don't want to wear the hardware
[08:01] <jschiff> rafael: distro hop, :)
[08:01] <SuperQ> Gatestone: So what's the problem?
[08:01] <syc_> jschiff:  why dude ??
[08:01] <inversekinetix> does anyone know a good app to ghost an ntfs drive?>
[08:01] <Gatestone> SuperQ: But we don't want to wear the hardware
[08:01] <SuperQ> Gatestone: I consider it a non-issue
[08:01] <jschiff> syc_: such a bloated distrobution
[08:01] <jschiff> syc_: windows like behavior
[08:02] <Gatestone> SuperQ: but I need deytailefacts
[08:02] <SuperQ> Gatestone: can you give me an example disk part number?
[08:02] <Gatestone> SuperQ: but I need detailed facts, not an IRC opinion
[08:02] <syc_> O_o!
[08:02] <jschiff> syc_: "it just works" sounds a lot like "plug and pray"
[08:02] <SuperQ> Gatestone: ok, sure, let's do it
[08:02] <jschiff> which is microsofts motto
[08:02] <jschiff> and we all know microsoft is the devil
[08:03] <syc_> jschiff: hmmm
[08:03] <SuperQ> Gatestone: #1: I need a specific bug number, not a vauge "ubuntu spins disks too much"
[08:03] <Cyber_Stalker> could some body assist me with my mysql installation error :( http://rafb.net/p/yhC8Z866.html
[08:03] <jschiff> syc_: on the other hand there is gentoo
[08:03] <slate> hello
[08:03] <syc_> :)
[08:03] <jschiff> syc_: which i don't like either because it's not easy to maintain
[08:03] <SuperQ> Gatestone: #2: I need to know exactly what disks you think are affected
[08:03] <slate> I have problems upgrading to gutsy
[08:03] <jschiff> syc_: a rather nice in between distro, that is still binary based, but you can compile still, is arch linux
[08:03] <SuperQ> Gatestone: Then we can lookup the spin up/down MTBF ratings for the disks
[08:03] <syc_> gentoo, ??
[08:03] <musikgoat> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[08:03] <slate> 4 packages including kdelibs-data is unauthenticated.
[08:04] <slate> can anybody help me?
[08:04] <SuperQ> musikgoat: thanks
[08:04] <jschiff> gentoo is a distrobution that compiles every package from source
[08:04] <musikgoat> SuperQ: yw
[08:04] <syc_> jschiff: so, wich one is suitable  for u dude ??
[08:04] <jschiff> using a portage tree, that many users like
[08:04] <jschiff> Arch Linux
[08:04] <Gatestone> SuperQ: ok, I need to remove the hard disk to see its part no, right?
[08:04] <jschiff> Arch Linux is defintely my favorite distro
[08:04] <jschiff> fast.. effecient.. very non-bloated
[08:05] <syc_> jschiff: i never used Arch Linux before..
[08:05] <jschiff> optimized for the i686 architechture
[08:05] <jschiff> fastest boot i'v ever had in my life
[08:05] <jschiff> and it's the first distrobution to ever last on my laptop for more than 2 weeks
[08:05] <inversekinetix> my xp boots faster than ubuntu
[08:05] <jschiff> ubuntu boots slow
[08:06] <syc_> jschiff: 2 weeks ??
[08:06] <syc_> LOL
[08:06] <jschiff> syc_: usually i install a new distrobution every week or so
[08:06] <jschiff> but i'v fallen in love with Arch Linux
[08:06] <jschiff> my distro hopping days are over
[08:06] <inversekinetix> everything works ok for me apart from stupid simple things like not being able to clear up my menus
[08:07] <syc_> :D
[08:07] <dxdt> When using compiz-fusion, how do I select the theme that I want to use?  Like window title bar color, etc?  Must that be done through emerald or is there a better way?
[08:07] <linux_stu> alguien habla espanol?

[08:08] <syc_> c ya all
[08:08] <inversekinetix> i overclocked my cpu to 4Ghz yesterday
[08:08] <jschiff> but yes.. dxdt emerald is the theme manager for compiz
[08:08] <syc_> and thanks alot for the great ubuntu developer team
[08:08] <jschiff> lol.. syc
[08:08] <musikgoat> Gatestone: you can find out the drive model from smartctl
[08:08] <burningice> what cpu?
[08:08] <musikgoat> if you haven't started taking it apart yes
[08:08] <dxdt> jschiff: even for compiz-fusion?  what is cgwd then?
[08:08] <SuperQ> Gatestone: ok
[08:08] <musikgoat> *yet
[08:09] <inversekinetix> q6660
[08:09] <emma> the trouble with ubuntu is that it works so well and so easily that I never have any problems and so I can't really learn anything.
[08:09] <SuperQ> Gatestone: I'm getting caught up on the bug
[08:09] <mrc420> I have a genereal question for anyone who's used both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions of ubuntu. DO you notice a significant improvment in performance in using the 64 bit version on a 64 bit processor vs. 32 bit on a 64 bit processor?
[08:09] <sSiroSoriSs> !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:09] <musikgoat> Gatestone: you can find out the drive model from smartctl
[08:09] <Gatestone> SuperQ: my modular bay Dell HDD is model TD091, and most people have the same 2nd disk.
[08:09] <inversekinetix> mrc420 you wont unless youre running a 64 bit os and 64 bit apps
[08:09] <burningice> i have a E6600  @ 3,5ghz
[08:09] <inversekinetix> nice burning ice, what cooler?
[08:09] <SuperQ> Gatestone: sorry, I was busy catching up on the bug
[08:10] <jschiff> dxdt: cgwd?
[08:10] <mrc420> But if you are doing those things, you have notices a signifinct performance increase?
[08:10] <SuperQ> Gatestone: to get the model information, you can simply get it from the kernel
[08:10] <dxdt> I see it mentioned here and there.  Don't know if that is deprecated or what
[08:10] <burningice> zalman cnps 9500
[08:10] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lalala
[08:10] <burningice> and yous??

[08:10] <Biju> I need to find I can fidn the Volume control for Aux . I have finally got my Tv Tuner to show picture but theres no sound :D
[08:10] <SuperQ> Gatestone: you can get the correct Model from cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[08:10] <jschiff> dxdt: emerald does it's job nicely..
[08:10] <SuperQ> Gatestone: if they're sata
[08:11] <mrc420> I'm running the 32 bit version right now, and trying to decide whether or not the switch to the 64 bit version. Is this something yo guys would recommend?
[08:11] <Biju> I need to know how to find*
[08:11] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> anyone can tell me whether gutsy support HFS+ rw or not??
[08:11] <dxdt> jschiff: you don't happen to know what the package type of "Theme Packages" is do you?  Like I want to import so I click import, then it wants a theme package.... I don't know what filetype that is that I"m looking for
[08:11] <Gatestone> SuperQ:  TOSHIBA MK8032GA Rev: AD00
[08:11] <jschiff> after changing themes in emerald you must.. compiz --replace
[08:11] <burrows> q
[08:12] <jschiff> .emerald
[08:12] <jschiff> are emerald themes..
[08:12] <SuperQ> Gatestone: I'm still getting caught up on the bug, but it looks like there is something not right

[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> you contstantly drag ubuntu throug hthe dirt
[08:14] <lightstar> jschiff, some ppl might actually try it out
[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> and then you drop commands like that
[08:14] <jschiff> i'v done it 3 times =] it's quite fun
[08:14] <buttercups> jschiff, your opinions I have seen about arch Linux offer no help in a Ubuntu help channel...
[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> in here where there are new users
[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> who could actually make the mistake of permorming that command
[08:14] <musikgoat> at least he didn't add sudo
[08:14] <jschiff> buttercup i'v helped 3 people here
[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> performing*
[08:14] <jschiff> ubuntu is a great starting distrobutions
[08:14] <Cyber_Stalker> musikgoat: he did
[08:14] <ratpoison> musikgoat: rm -r /path/to/folder/* will remove eveyrthing
[08:15] <slate> hi, my gutsy upgrade says cannot authenticate a few packages including kdelibs-data
[08:15] <musikgoat> oops missed that.
[08:15] <jschiff> yeah ok... everyone: DONT RUN sudo rm -r /
[08:15] <musikgoat> ratpoison: it will remove all folders and files in that folder
[08:15] <musikgoat> but not the folder itself
[08:15] <ratpoison> yup, I want to remove JUST the empty folders
[08:15] <musikgoat> if you need to leave files...
[08:15] <Cyber_Stalker> OH ratpoison that changes it
[08:15] <musikgoat> i don't know the syntax on that
[08:16] <jschiff> to remove an empty folder?
[08:16] <ratpoison> That's what I said at the beginning
[08:16] <jschiff> rm -r /path/to/folder
[08:16] <kiff> hi to all!!!
[08:16] <Cyber_Stalker> jschiff: to remove ONLY the empty folders in a dir
[08:16] <jschiff> oh..
[08:16] <musikgoat> no. he wants to clean up empty folders with files still intact
[08:16] <jschiff> like recursively remove all empty folders?
[08:16] <kiff> who have xchat installed on ubuntu 7.10?

[08:17] <brade1> hey i need help with a volume problem
[08:17] <jschiff> all i can think of
[08:17] <jschiff> brade what is it?
[08:17] <brade1> im running ubuntu 7.10 under Virtual box
[08:17] <jschiff> mmk..
[08:17] <[chr0n0s]> kiff, ask, but i doubt that i can help :(
[08:17] <brade1> wen i click on the sound icon this message comes up
[08:17] <brade1> The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[08:17] <Cyber_Stalker> cant you just do a "rm /path/*" because it will only remove empty folders?
[08:18] <brade1> does anyone know if i can get my sound to work??
[08:18] <kiff> [chr0n0s]: "aptitude install xchat" ... and simply don't work
[08:18] <jschiff> brade: uh oh =)
[08:18] <kiff> on ubuntu 7.10
[08:18] <ratpoison> rm is for files
[08:18] <sSiroSoriSs> can I install ubuntu on my mp3 player?
[08:18] <ratpoison> rmdir is for folders
[08:18] <Cyber_Stalker> cant you just do a "rm /path/*" because it will only remove empty folders? the -r forces it to remove folders with contents, so with out the -rm?
[08:18] <dhira> hai apa kbr
[08:18] <[chr0n0s]> kiff, use sudo aptitude install xchat
[08:18] <jschiff> no
[08:18] <jschiff> cyber: rm can never remove a folder
[08:18] <kiff> [chr0n0s]: yes... from root :°(
[08:18] <brade1> jschiff> whos that "no" to?
[08:18] <jschiff> rm -r must be used to remove a folder
[08:19] <kraut> moin
[08:19] <jschiff> brade: sound is a complex issue
[08:19] <[chr0n0s]> kiff, paste the error in bin
[08:19] <brade1> damn
[08:19] <jschiff> brade: first you should install alsa and do a alsaconf

[08:19] <ratpoison> :)
[08:19] <sSiroSoriSs> can I install ubuntu on my mp3 player?????
[08:19] <Cyber_Stalker> jschiff: -r, -R, --recursive   remove directories and their contents recursively
[08:19] <jschiff> ratpoison: i did that on my old ubuntu machine
[08:19] <brade1> where can i get alsa?
[08:19] <brade1> what is alsa?

[08:22] <Cyber_Stalker> !alsa | brade1
[08:22] <ubotu> brade1: 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

[08:22] <sSiroSoriSs> oops

[08:23] <jschiff> uh.. siro u ok? =o
[08:23] <brade1> sSiroSoriSs> The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[08:23] <brade1> wen i click on the sound icon that message comes up
[08:23] <jschiff> brade: install gstreamer =)

[08:24] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: ive had that issue before, cant remember how i fixed it i had to recompile alsa a few times
[08:24] <Gatestone> SuperQ: I had to sitch off again to make sure that scsi0,1 are indeed my internal, modular-bay disk, and not the vice versa
[08:24] <musikgoat> ratpoison: i'm not sure how that helps you?
[08:24] <jschiff> google is ur friend theres lots of documenation out there
[08:24] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: did you try and upgrade alsa?

[08:25]  * inversekinetix has made a theme that looks like XP
[08:25] <ratpoison> no, I will, I just wanted to do it myself
[08:26] <inversekinetix> i took all the images straight from XP even the sounds!
[08:26]  * [chr0n0s] dies
[08:26] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> wats that "eish" to?

[08:27] <jschiff> inverse: WHY?!?!
[08:27] <jschiff> inverse: OMG WHY?!?!
[08:27] <secion8> jschiff, is it in the repo or what?
[08:27] <ratpoison> ok, thnx for the effort!
[08:27] <jschiff> inverse: why would u ever want linux to look like windows why
[08:27] <Cyber_Stalker> jschiff: some ppl....
[08:27] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> is that on the Ubuntu Formus?? i am a total NEWBIE to ubuntu as i only just started using it yesterday

[08:28] <Cyber_Stalker> ok
[08:28] <jschiff> secion hold on..
[08:28] <inversekinetix> im gonna do a vista one next
[08:28] <Cyber_Stalker> !forums | brade1
[08:28] <ubotu> brade1: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[08:28] <inversekinetix> want a copy?
[08:28] <musikgoat> i can only say it looks better than vista, thats all
[08:28] <Cyber_Stalker> ill have a look and see aswell
[08:29] <jschiff> hey
[08:29] <Cyber_Stalker> why does ubotu say " There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums." when we are in that channel on that very server?
[08:29] <jschiff> secion
[08:29] <jschiff> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[08:29] <ratpoison> well, I found it myself
[08:29] <musikgoat> ratpoison: explain
[08:29] <brade1> ubotu> can the people on #ubuntuforums help me?
[08:29] <mEck0> can someone please help me with getting mpd to work?!I have tried with a couple of guides but nothing works. mpd doesn't create the db, even mpc ls | mpc add doesn't add my music from the dir :/
[08:29] <jschiff> cyber: some questions will never be answered
[08:29] <ratpoison> rmdir /path/to/folder/*
[08:29] <ratpoison> rmdir removes just empty folders
[08:30] <jschiff> =o i did not know that lol
[08:30] <ratpoison> it complains about non-folders and non-empty folders
[08:30] <ratpoison> but it does the job
[08:30] <Cyber_Stalker> jschiff: in relation to?
[08:30] <musikgoat> i guess you will just get alot of error
[08:30] <jschiff> cyber: ubotu
[08:30] <musikgoat> but that works
[08:30] <secion8> jschiff: thanx
[08:30] <jschiff> secion: yeah i went through all of that a while ago
[08:30] <SuperQ> Gatestone: back
[08:30] <jschiff> secion: when i thought eyecandy was the shiznit
[08:31] <ratpoison> thnx anyway guys!
[08:31] <jschiff> back when i was using ubuntu *shudders*
[08:31] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: ubotu is a bot, he cant "chat" he can just provide responses, but i wouldnt look into that channel, use the forums search feature with some of the error you get when dbl clicking the sound icon and see what you get
[08:31] <musikgoat> i still have use the cube frequently
[08:31] <jschiff> u don't need the cube, to have multiple desktops
[08:31] <inversekinetix> is anyone familiar with mame?
[08:31] <dxdt> I use the expose clone function (Scale is it called?) like every few seconds.  It rocks hard
[08:32] <musikgoat> jschiff: i do :-)
[08:32] <MilitantPotato> how do you tell a exe to run on a specific core?
[08:32] <dxdt> past that I guess I don't use much.  I have wobbly windows on cause it makes me smile when they wobble a lot.  Sometimes I just sit and wobble them
[08:32] <jschiff> musikgoat: ur cpu hates u
[08:32] <secion8> I knwo it is not necessary but just makes it easier to look at.
[08:32] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> so i have to look around in the ubuntu forums for the issue i have
[08:32] <brade1> rite??
[08:32] <musikgoat> jschiff: yes it does
[08:32] <jschiff> u'll get over it someday
[08:32]  * dxdt wobbles his IRC window
[08:32] <SuperQ> dxdt: heh
[08:32] <jschiff> when u get all obsessed with speed like me =)
[08:33] <dxdt> jschiff: you mean cpu use with COmpiz-fusion or?
[08:33] <musikgoat> i can see that from other machines
[08:33] <jschiff> unreliability
[08:33] <jschiff> hey hey
[08:33] <musikgoat> but i will always keep one with the eyecandy
[08:33] <jschiff> turn down the friction to 0.1
[08:33] <Cyber_Stalker> yes brade1 but use the search feature combined with your error and your well on your way to fixing your issue, you could also try #alsa BUT last time i was there support took forever
[08:33] <jschiff> and see what happens =]
[08:33] <dxdt> cause mine never goes above like 20% and even the 20% is when I'm really stressing it like cube spinning while playing movies on edges and wobbling windows and such.  Most the time it stays really low.
[08:33] <ensonic> forget it then
[08:33] <Ademan> hey what's the "best" way to securely talk to a daemon? like would a fifo owned by root that only root could write to be appropriate? or what?
[08:33] <lightstar> MilitantPotato, you can get an executable to run on a specific core using taskset
[08:34] <brade1> Cyber-Stalker> ok thanks
[08:34] <inversekinetix> cpu goes to 20% when turning cube?
[08:34] <jschiff> rofl
[08:34] <brade1> Cyber-Stalker> what shuld i type in?
[08:34] <jschiff> that's really bad
[08:34] <MilitantPotato> lightstar: ty
[08:34] <Lolaeilo> Can someone help me ?
[08:34] <brade1> Cyber - Stalker>the exact words of the issue or something else?
[08:34] <jschiff> !ask | Loleailo
[08:34] <ubotu> Loleailo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:34] <lightstar> MilitantPotato, np...you might have to install schedutils first though
[08:35] <musikgoat> jschiff: mine does for a split sec, then hovers around 5-10
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1:
[08:35] <musikgoat> i just have a dual core 1.8s
[08:35] <dxdt> inversekinetix: only when I'm like freaking it out.  like spinning as fast as possible and back and forth and playing movies, etc.  That is my point.  Most of the time the CPU use with compiz-fusion is VERY low with gutsy.  Unnoticeable even.
[08:35] <jschiff> musikgoat: ouch..
[08:35] <musikgoat> its a laptop
[08:35] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> nothin came thru...delbritate?
[08:35] <MilitantPotato> lightstar: doing it as ya typed :)
[08:35] <mty> hi all
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: the error you get when dbl clicking the speaker icon. some shiznit about GStream n stuff just use some of that error msg
[08:35] <inversekinetix> dxdt mine barely flutters
[08:35] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> thanks
[08:35] <jschiff> apt-get remove ubuntu
[08:35] <jschiff> =]
[08:35] <sSiroSoriSs> !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane + KareN wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:35] <Lolaeilo> Well: Yesterday I rebot while I was making a parition in windows, so my windows... is "out"... Now I want download some files from my live cd linux..
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: pleasure buddy
[08:36] <Lolaeilo> . Can I burn them??
[08:36] <Lolaeilo> with cd/dvd creator?
[08:36]  * inversekinetix is off for some quake 3!
[08:36] <dxdt> inversekinetix: Again, it isn't a problem, the machine doesn't even lag, I just notice that the cpugraph I have open has spikes that go up to twenty sometimes.
[08:36] <jschiff> lolaeilo: yes, use k3b or anything u want
[08:36] <lightstar> MilitantPotato, :)
[08:36] <mty> I don't use ubuntu, i use debian, but i wanted to know how ubuntu removes initial kernel messages (before usplash)...
[08:36] <Lolaeilo> k3b?? whats k3b jschiff  ?
[08:36] <jschiff> mty: good
[08:36] <mty> some one knows?
[08:36] <dxdt> Lolaeilo: not unless you have two drives.  I don't think you can eject the LIveCD to stick in blank media
[08:36] <jschiff> mty: try Arch linux =]
[08:37] <jschiff> Lolaeilo: in fact just type cdrecord dev=0,0,0 image.iso
[08:37] <dxdt> I used to run archlinux.  Then I realized that i might as well just use gentoo if using arch.
[08:37] <jschiff> dxdt: nope
[08:37] <jschiff> dxdt: arch is binary based
[08:37] <dxdt> jschiff: yep
[08:37] <dxdt> I know
[08:37] <lightstar> dxdt, that's not true. at least in arch you don't have to compile everything from source
[08:37] <dxdt> I didn't it say it wasn't
[08:38] <jschiff> lightstar: u don't have to in gentoo either
[08:38] <jschiff> don't judge what u don't know
[08:38] <lightstar> jschiff, sabayon?
[08:38] <jschiff> lighstar: sabayon is just eyecandy and bloat
[08:38] <dxdt> sabayon sucks
[08:38] <jschiff> 3.8 gigs based on gentoo? that's bs
[08:38] <mty> so nobody can answer my question?
[08:38] <lightstar> jschiff, ahh...almost tried that out:P
[08:38] <jschiff> lightstar: eww =]
[08:39] <jschiff> mty: press alt-f2
[08:39] <Lolaeilo> That in my terminal , isit jschiff  ?
[08:39] <MilitantPotato> lightstar: taskset --cpu-list does nothing....?
[08:39] <Lolaeilo> is it*
[08:39] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> error when i open dbl by clicking on the speaker icon is that good enough for the search?
[08:39] <jschiff> Lolaeilo: yes
[08:39] <mty> jschiff, pre-init kernel messages....
[08:39] <jschiff> mty: oh..
[08:39] <mty> jschiff, before usplash
[08:39] <jschiff> mty: have no idea, i don't use usplash

[08:49] <Lolaeilo> Cyber_Stalker, I just want linux, at the moment to install windows after format
[08:49] <jschiff> one flag selects the cpu number.. another it's speed
[08:49] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, strange to see mysql-server quit with that error msg
[08:49] <rgl> jschiff, cpufreqselector?
[08:49] <pkh> how do I get the ttyUSB* devices to show up for a sierra wireless modem (the faqs all assume they exist, and they're not appearing for me in ubuntu)
[08:49] <jschiff> rgl: not u =]
[08:49] <Lolaeilo> And after installing windows , ill install linux.
[08:49] <jschiff> rgl: hold on
[08:50] <Cyber_Stalker> lightstar: sudo dpkg --reconfigure mysql-server-5.0
[08:50] <pkh> anyone know -- they use the sierra driver (and that depends on the usbserial driver)
[08:50] <Cyber_Stalker> Lolaeilo: so your going to format. there nothing you want to save from your drive?
[08:50] <Lolaeilo> Cyber_Stalker,  How Can I save?? I dont have a security copy
[08:50] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, , didn't work i presume
[08:50] <Lolaeilo> Thats worst ;(
[08:50] <Cyber_Stalker> lightstar: it doesnt know what --reconfigure is lol
[08:51] <jschiff> lolaelilo you just lost your windows partition lol
[08:51] <jschiff> lolaeilo don't worry same thing happened to me =o
[08:51] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, dangit... i could have sworn there was a --reconfigure option. hang on let me check
[08:51] <Cyber_Stalker> Lolaeilo:? security copy? im talking about having a second machine, dropping ure hard drive in there as a slave and copying music/pics etc across
[08:51] <Lolaeilo> jschiff,  And .. what can i do
[08:51] <Lolaeilo> ah Cyber_Stalker
[08:51] <jschiff> lolaeilo: never get impregnated by bill gates again
[08:51] <Cyber_Stalker> lol jschiff and Lolaeilo same thing happened here thats why im on linux now
[08:52] <Cyber_Stalker> thats why i moved over
[08:52] <Cyber_Stalker> :D
[08:52] <jschiff> DON'T LET BILL GATES IMPREGNATE YOU
[08:52] <Lolaeilo> Im not sure.. I just have shit in my pc
[08:52] <Cyber_Stalker> Lolaeilo: you get what i mean right? so you dont loose anything important to you
[08:52] <Lolaeilo> the most important is emule archives
[08:52] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, oops.. its dpkg-reconfigure

[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> just poof
[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> and lightstar /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mysql-server-5.0 is broken or not fully installed
[08:53] <jschiff> lolaeilo: it's a good idea to just get rid of windows
[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> i now HATE M$
[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> for ruining my memories of her
[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> then she left me for a younger guy... pfft
[08:53] <jschiff> m$?
[08:53] <Lolaeilo> this is my idea: tell me what do you think about it:
[08:53] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, try removing it and reinstalling it again
[08:53] <Cyber_Stalker> so i lost everything
[08:54] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mysql-server-5.0
[08:54] <jschiff> cyber dat sucks
[08:54] <Cyber_Stalker> lightstar: i have tried that, maybe i should do a COMEPLETE reinstall
[08:54] <Cyber_Stalker> so gay hey
[08:54] <Cyber_Stalker> oh well
[08:54] <jschiff> cyber
[08:54] <jschiff> wtf is a m$?
[08:54] <douviss_> Bonjour

[08:54] <Cyber_Stalker> M$ = ms = Microsoft
[08:54] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, is this 4 a live site or testing? you can always try xampp if its for testing

[08:55] <rgl> jschiff, got anything for me? :-)
[08:55] <Cyber_Stalker> lightstar: for live
[08:55] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. that is the second time i clicked the volume icon
[08:55] <jschiff> rgl: o what did u want again? lol

[08:55] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, ahh...complete reinstall huh
[08:55] <brade1> does that mean anything??
[08:55] <Cyber_Stalker> brade1: search for that then :D
[08:55] <Lolaeilo> What do you think about that?
[08:55] <rgl> jschiff, is there a way to do full window resize in gutsy (when using compiz)?
[08:55] <jschiff> lolaeilo: sounds good lol
[08:55] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> ok :D
[08:55] <Cyber_Stalker> lightstar: cause ive tried that, let me try ure command n then we see
[08:55] <douviss_> Hello
[08:55] <Lolaeilo> Really?
[08:55] <douviss_> it is secure to use ubuntu ?
[08:55] <jschiff> rgl: oh... i understand what u mean now
[08:55] <jschiff> rgl: not that i know of =o
[08:56] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, autoremove removes all dependencies and what not and removes any config file..hopefully when you reinstall it will replace everything again
[08:56] <jschiff> rgl: just don't maximize ur windows :P
[08:56] <Agent_bob> does ubiquity still suck worse than all other installers combined, or has it inproved any ?
[08:56] <Lolaeilo> ok jschiff
[08:56] <Cyber_Stalker> hey lightstar it looks promising
[08:56] <Cyber_Stalker> ok, how should i go about installing mysql now
[08:56] <jschiff> lolaeilo: good luck
[08:56] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, cross your fingers ;)
[08:56] <Lolaeilo> thx
[08:56] <Cyber_Stalker> will take your recommendation so it works :D
[08:56] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[08:56] <Lolaeilo> So I need to install linux now :((((((
[08:56] <Cyber_Stalker> douviss_: yes ubuntu is secure
[08:56] <lightstar> Cyber_Stalker, just install that first and see if it works
[08:57] <jschiff> lolaeilo: not really
[08:57] <pkh> Lolaeilo, if you can afford to spend a few dollars, get yourself an external hard drive and keep the two operating systems separate...  much simpler -- i have windows on the internal hard drive and put ubuntu on the external usb drive
[08:57] <brade1> Cyber_Stalker> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230558&highlight=No+volume+control+GStreamer+plugins+and%2For+devices+found.
[08:57] <brade1> can u please look at that and see if that could help me possibly??
[08:57] <jschiff> lolaeilo: just reinstall windows then install linux
 douviss_: yes ubuntu is secure <<<<   ?
[08:57] <jschiff> LOL
[08:57] <Lolaeilo> jschiff,  rofl?
[08:57] <jschiff> AHAHAHAHAH

[08:57] <Lolaeilo> How Do I reinstall that?
[08:57] <Cyber_Stalker> its much better then windows
[08:57] <Lolaeilo> Inserting the cd ?
[08:58] <Cyber_Stalker> and if managed correctly ubuntu is secure aswell... so not sure why all the loling
[08:58] <jschiff> lolaeilo: that'll do it
[08:58] <Agent_bob> Cyber_Stalker yeah  but you didn't say anything...
[08:58] <Lolaeilo> ahhhhhh
[08:58] <Lolaeilo> ok

[09:08] <brade1> can anyone help me??
[09:08] <Mohero> Hi all
[09:08] <Mohero> can anyone help me with IPTables?
[09:08] <lightstar> Mohero, what kind of help?
[09:09] <Mohero> I have a working IP Tables script, but like any FTP server, it gets alot of login failures, so I have a script to create the new rules for IPTables, but I can't find where Ubuntu stores the IPTables rules file
[09:09] <Mohero> or how to restart IPTables after adding to the file.
[09:09] <Agent_bob> first k8's are p4 in the intel line correct ?
[09:09] <Mohero> I've used WebMin to setup IPTables in the first place
[09:09] <wado> defrysk: hmm this is not solve my problem :(
[09:09] <lightstar> Mohero, you're script can directly add the rules to iptables without restarting
[09:10] <defrysk> wado, too bad :(
[09:10] <Mohero> ok lightstar, but where is the rules file?
[09:10] <lightstar> Mohero, and you usually don't want to make it persistant always..those IPs could be dynamic
[09:10] <Agent_bob> Mohero freshmeat.org search for quicktables  handy for a server
[09:11] <Mohero> i know that, it just means I don't have to spend 2 hours of my day blocking requests.
[09:12] <lightstar> Mohero, /etc/iptables.save i think
[09:12] <lightstar> Mohero, look in /etc for a files that starts with iptables...
[09:13] <Mohero> doesn't appear so, the server is running 6.06 at the moment, I have /etc/iptables.up.rules this is what webmin uses, then it posts it *somewhere* that IPTables knows about, but I have no idea where...
[09:14] <OpenGuru> Hi All.
[09:14] <lightstar> Mohero, it should be there...hang on..lemme check my webmin
[09:14] <JimmyDee> Mohero, terminal, cd /'
[09:14] <JimmyDee> Mohero, terminal, cd /
[09:14] <OpenGuru> Any one here who knows howto configure apcupsd ?
[09:14] <Agent_bob> Mohero you are not thinking of the actual routing tables are you ?    that's in ram.  part of the kernel      iptables -L  will show it.
[09:14] <HehawOK> Hello, I installed Ubuntu on my machine, and it ran very lagged.
[09:15] <JimmyDee> Mohero, find / -name iptables.up.rules
[09:15] <Lobinho> hi all
[09:15] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: Know any reason why both cores wouldn't be used at the same time?
[09:15] <HehawOK> Worse than any windows
[09:15] <JimmyDee> make that sudo find / -name iptables.up.rules
[09:15] <MilitantPotato> Agent_bob: the cores trade off being at 100% load, it looks like a double helix in system monitor
[09:15] <HehawOK> Is Xubuntu worth a try?
[09:15] <MilitantPotato> HehawOK: it's not bad.
[09:15] <OpenGuru> anyone who know apcupsd
[09:16] <Mohero> JimmyDee I only have that file in /etc/iptables.up.rules but when I modify this file it doesn't go into IPTables
[09:16] <Agent_bob> MilitantPotato no sorry.  i don't have a dual core box to play with so i have never tried to learn that.
[09:16] <Mohero> Webmin appears to use that file to *play* with before it commits it
[09:16] <HehawOK> MilitantPotato: I am on a p2 450 MHz, 10 gb internal, 320 MB of RAM, Voodoo3 3dfx 8MB
[09:16] <JimmyDee> Mohero, I'm sorry I use guarddog for my ip tables stuff
[09:16] <lightstar> Mohero, you have to load it again using iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules
[09:16] <OpenGuru> APCUPSD anyone :(
[09:16] <MilitantPotato> HehawOK: it's alot easier on the recourses
[09:17] <HehawOK> MilitantPotato: I blame it on the effects I couldn't turn off
[09:17] <MilitantPotato> HehawOK: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:17] <Agent_bob> HehawOK you have me beet by 100mhz   >:]
[09:17] <crdlb> "couldn't turn off"?
[09:17] <HehawOK> crdlb: Yes, that window, in to window, in to window, then minumized/closed
[09:17] <HehawOK> Silly crap
[09:18] <crdlb> what kind of effects?
[09:18] <HehawOK> that
[09:18] <HehawOK> And God forbid when I started using alt  + tab
[09:18] <JimmyDee> Mohero, have you tried guarddog, its fairly simple
[09:18] <HehawOK> And changing IM windows
[09:18] <HehawOK> etc
[09:19] <Lolaeilo> how can I run gparted from terminal
[09:19] <Lobinho> kind of a strange firefox question - i'm in japan and so google searches and many websites default to the japanese sites.  i can tell google preferences to only search for pages in english, but it never saves the preference - have to do it every time.  any way to fix this?
[09:19] <JimmyDee> Lolaeilo, ummmm type gparted?
[09:19] <dburnett77> Anyone hear of the "skedoodle" virii inclements?
[09:19] <crdlb> HehawOK: http://static.flickr.com/98/251075270_1efc91e265.jpg it looked like that?
[09:19] <IanLiu> I've got a WMA file, but when I play it, Ubuntu says "This file is encrypted and cannot be played." What should I do?
[09:19] <lightstar> Lolaeilo, add sudo in front of that command
[09:19] <JimmyDee> yeah sudo gparted
[09:20] <gordonjcp> Lobinho: is there anything helpful in "about:config"?
[09:20] <HehawOK> crdlb: No, I am talking about the silly animations when you minumized/closed programs
[09:20] <HehawOK> or windows
[09:20] <dburnett77> about:config = disable/default plugin handling
[09:20] <HehawOK> But in gerneral
[09:20] <Mohero> JimmieDee that's not the issue, the issue is purely loading the file using iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules seems to work appart from it craps out on line 2 which is "*nat" I'm guessing this is something that WebMin has added in, there's also "*mangle" and "*filter" anyone know what they do?
[09:20] <HehawOK> Would Xubuntu be worth trying ?
[09:20] <jllj> IanLiu, you might want to add medibuntu repo then get w32codecs along with gstreamer0.10-* (if your on broadband) unless its DRM protected then i dont know what will allow playing it
[09:20] <HehawOK> Or should I scrap it
[09:21] <HehawOK> Or Xfce
[09:21] <Lobinho> gordonjcp: umm, sorry kind of a beginner. where would i find about:config?
[09:21] <JimmyDee> well bad news is webmin is !supported
[09:21] <gordonjcp> Lobinho: type it into the address bar
[09:21] <JimmyDee> it does bad things to config files
[09:21] <crdlb> HehawOK: you're not being very clear, but it sounds like compiz is running, did you check: system>preferences>appearance>visual effects ?
[09:21] <jllj> HehawOK, xubuntu uses XFCE
[09:21] <IanLiu> Hmm, I think when I copied from CD, I told windows to protect it. I will copy directly with ubuntu, thanks!
[09:22] <HehawOK> No.  I got too tired of it, and put in XP.  Now I remember why I wanted to change in the first place.
[09:22] <dburnett77> lobinho, mozilla.org>com has info.
[09:22] <OpenGuru> any gutsy user here ?
[09:22] <jllj> OpenGuru, guilty
[09:22] <HehawOK> All these damn AV, spyware , blah blah lagging me down again
[09:22] <OpenGuru> I need the /etc/init.d/halt file of gutsy gibbon
[09:22] <Mohero> JummieDee I didn't ask about if Webmin was supported I know it isn't, I only asked about the IPTables rules file
[09:22] <dburnett77> simple, use gedit.  Halt is a command.
[09:22] <gordonjcp> does anyone even use webmin any more?
[09:23] <JimmyDee> Mohero, what I'm saying is theres no telling what in blazes webmin has done to your files
[09:23] <OpenGuru> dburnett77, i have screwed up halt with out taking backup. so i need a fresh copy of it
[09:23] <troughton> i have updated to 7.10 and have now got a wlan0:ava added to my network conection how do i disable wlan0:ava ???
[09:23] <lightstar> gordonjcp, guilty...except i don't rely on it for the firewall rules
[09:23] <dburnett77> It's intrinsic to the kernel, fresh compile should get the links re-established.
[09:24] <HehawOK> But in general , I liked the look of Xfce better than Gnome.  So here I am back in windows, wondering if it's worth a try to go back to a linux version?  After having the lag of my life
[09:24] <jllj> OpenGuru, my /etc/init.d/halt is right here http://pastebin.ca/757398
[09:24] <JimmyDee> Mohero, all I can tell you is how I do it, and thats install guarddog and let it put all the iptables files IN for me
[09:24] <OpenGuru> jllj, Thank you very much. God bless you. :)
[09:25] <JimmyDee> then you can diddle them till you lock yourself out as far as I'm concerned
[09:25] <Agent_bob> uh !    i can't believe how awful ubiquity is....
[09:25] <Lobinho> gordonjcp: there are a lot of values - i dont know what to look for
[09:25] <tuna> Hi. I have a daemon that has a proper start|stop|restart script in /etc/init.d/. How can I set that daemon to start on machine bootup and stop on machine shutdown *the proper ubuntu way*
[09:25] <OpenGuru> jllj, are u using APC ups ? Whether you have installed apcupsd ?
[09:26] <jllj> OpenGuru, i'm using UPS but its not connected to the computer at all
[09:26] <OpenGuru> tuna, you need to register to start at the begining
[09:26] <tuna> openguru: how?
[09:27] <jllj> OpenGuru, i'm not using apcupsd
[09:27] <tuna> all the howtos I have found were outdated or broken
[09:27] <gordonjcp> Lobinho: neither do I, but it seems like a good place to look
[09:27] <OpenGuru> jllj, ok. Thanks
[09:28] <Lobinho> gordonjcp: ok, thanks for the suggestion- will look around some more
[09:28] <OpenGuru> tuna, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[09:28] <tuna> thank you very much

[09:28] <jllj> anyone know of a way to mass convert flac to mp3 ?
[09:28] <__doc__> howdy, I noticed yesterday that watching DVDs on gutsy doesn't work.
[09:29] <__doc__> So I made the usual libdvdcss2 dance and whatnot you could find in an ubuntuguide and on digg
[09:29] <OpenGuru> tuna, welcome
[09:29] <__doc__> but to no avail, whatever I messed it wouldn't start to work.
[09:29] <OpenGuru> jllj, Thanks for the info and bye
[09:29] <__doc__> now from what I've seen around, this problem is endemic, is it not?
[09:29] <mooper> http://rafb.net/p/OhGyDB40.html -why is my ssh doing this?
[09:29] <emaconline> hello.. can anybody help me with mounting a network drive? i get this error: error: unable to open credentials file!"
[09:29] <__doc__> does _anybody_ have a conclusive solution for it?
[09:29] <__doc__> I mean, I could just play back DVDs fine with my edgy
[09:30] <troughton> how do i deactivat wlan0:ava ????
[09:30] <Mohero> is there anywhere I can find out how the IPTables file hould be laid out?
[09:30] <Agent_bob> __doc__ i watch vidios in the console via 'vlc'  perhaps give that a shot ?
[09:30] <Mohero> as I have lines like this in my rules file:
[09:30]  * ffjia is away: Gone away for now.
[09:31] <__doc__> Agent_bob: I did, vlc gets a lot of read errors and then crashes
[09:31] <jllj> __doc__, i did not believe you and am not playing a dvd on gutsy since my installation of it.  its definitely doable
[09:31] <jllj> __doc__, or rather i am playing a dvd on gutsy

[09:32] <[chr0n0s]> darren, try this make a guest account on linux server with empty password, might work, never tried tho
[09:32] <jllj> __doc__, i have no idea.  i probably followed the instructions from a feisty guide.  perhaps the right package was picked up by medibuntu repo.  i can't say exactly as i get my system ready for anything i throw at it after i install
[09:33] <emaconline> hello.. can anybody help me with mounting a network drive? i get this error: error: unable to open credentials file!"
[09:33] <darren> chr0n0s: I am a newbie, how do I go about doing that?
[09:33] <__doc__> ok, so any pointer on how to remove all the not working software and do the installation of codecs and whatnot from scratch?
[09:34] <[chr0n0s]> darren, need to google
[09:34] <[chr0n0s]> darren, you can use useradd command tho
[09:34] <__doc__> one of the unnerving things is, there's no section in the ubuntuguide for gutsy and DVDs
[09:35] <JimmyDee> __doc__, did you try installling ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[09:35] <troughton> how do i deactivat wlan0:ava ????
[09:35] <__doc__> JimmyDee: nope
[09:36] <JimmyDee> __doc__, while this may or may not be legal in your country it contains all the dvd stuff
[09:36] <__doc__> JimmyDee: I'll try that, thx
[09:37] <dxdt> holy god and goodbye taskbar.  Thanks again those who just helped me!

[09:45] <stefano_> hey guys. i can't reach this one website, however if i boot windows, it opens normally. what is this?
[09:45]  * vietnamchat hi all
[09:45] <jburd> stefano_: Check your DNS settings.
[09:46] <[chr0n0s]> stefano_, which one website ?
[09:46] <stefano_> jburd, i at least think that in ubuntu and windows, the dns is obtained from my router
[09:46] <stefano_> that's www.pokertube.com
[09:46] <jburd> Which browser are you using?
[09:46] <stefano_> firefox
[09:46] <Cristinri> wussup
[09:46] <Cristinri> im a noob to ubuntu
[09:46] <jburd> Does that Website qualify for phishing or any anti-social activities?  Newer versions of firefox have community based filtering.
[09:47] <jburd> Have you tried using another browser?
[09:47] <[chr0n0s]> i can open the site using firefoxxx
[09:47] <jburd> Alright.  It works here as well.
[09:47] <Cristinri> and i seem to be having a bit of a problem.  it seem on my desktop that ubuntu keeps freezing anyone have an idea of why that is?
[09:47] <stefano_> :\ maybe i should try another dns-server
[09:48] <stefano_> Cristinri, i had that to, the problem seemed to come from compiz-fusion
[09:48] <[chr0n0s]> are there any free dns servers ?
[09:48] <jburd> stefano_: It's probably not your DNS server, but you can try these too:  208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
[09:48] <Agent_bob> yes
[09:48] <jburd> [chr0n0s]: Yes.
[09:48] <[chr0n0s]> i heard there are some google servers
[09:48] <jburd> Those are opendns servers.
[09:48] <stefano_> jburd, thank you but i'm located in germany, so us servers would be slow
[09:48] <[chr0n0s]> k
[09:48] <jburd> stefano_: Use a DNS cache.
[09:48] <Cristinri> Stefano_ is there any way to fix that
[09:49] <emaconline> hello.. can anybody help me with mounting a network drive? i get this error: error: unable to open credentials file!"
[09:49] <stefano_> jburd, could you resolv the ip of the website and give it to me, so that i can check if it's really a dns problem?
[09:49] <jburd> Yes.
[09:49] <Cristinri> i mean i love compiz-fusion and i dont overly use it but i do have a lot of the stuff to make my desktop pretty clicked
[09:49] <jburd> Name:   www.pokertube.org
[09:49] <jburd> Address: 81.201.219.71
[09:50] <stefano_> jburd, mh that's strange, it doesnt open
[09:50] <jburd> stefano_: Are you using a proxy server?
[09:50] <stefano_> no
[09:50] <jburd> stefano_: They must have issued an ip range block.
[09:50] <shadowzzz> jburd: It opens for me
[09:51] <jburd> shadowzzz: As does for me.
[09:51] <stefano_> providers in germany sometimes ban websites because they violate some legal terms, but normally those are only adult websites, and pokertube isn't an adult website at all.
[09:51] <jburd> Some Websites have country-based bans.
[09:51] <stefano_> oh wait,
[09:51] <stefano_> it opens well under windows
[09:51] <stefano_> on the same machine
[09:51] <jburd> Ah.  Back to "have you tried another browser?"
[09:52] <stefano_> with the same version of firefox
[09:52] <stefano_> i'm going to try opera quickly, be right back with status report :>
[09:52] <jburd> stefano_: Clear the firefox cache and retry.

[09:57] <jburd> inversekinetix: Windows themes?
[09:57] <inversekinetix> yes
[09:57] <inversekinetix> so it looks like vista
[09:57] <jburd> inversekinetix: You can't display Microsoft Windows themes on Linux.
[09:57] <mysticalzero> why do i always get this message "mount wrong fs type, ...., aren't you trying to mount an extend partition inside?" when trying to double click on a drive? And, weird, for some reason, there's a "1.0 KB Volume" inside "Computer" though i don't think i ever had a 1.0 KB partition. When i double-click on it, the above message appears. What should i do?
[09:58] <jburd> inversekinetix: Do you wish to make GNOME look like Vista?  (Why would anybody do that?)
[09:58] <arnath> inversekinetix: there are many themes for linux, and i believe some replicate windows look, try searching google
[09:58] <Nallep> inversekinetix: ubuntu can't use windows themes, there are meatcity themes that can try to look like windows, but wont be exactly like windows
[09:58] <inversekinetix> whats meatcity?
[09:58] <Cristinri> yeah

[10:00] <Agent_bob> arnath yes cloning systems is quite easy.
[10:00] <troughton> i have 2 wireless networks fighting for the connection wlan0 and wlan0:ava since i updated to 7.10 i need to deactivate the ava so i can conect how do i do that ?
[10:01] <Nallep> arnath: you can make automatic installations (what I've been looking into) but don't try to just copy / over, it wont work
[10:01] <arnath> Nallep: wherein exactly would lie the problem if i simply copy it? hardware drivers?
[10:01] <humblerodent> hey....I have just upgraded to 64-bit Ubuntu and can't find the "Restricted extras" in the "Other" under "Add/Remove"
[10:01] <humblerodent> where did it run off to?
[10:01] <humblerodent> TIA
[10:01] <Nel> hello
[10:01] <Agent_bob> arnath only things i would caution you about are don't try to copy /proc or /sys   and use something that will preserve permissions and symlinks
[10:02] <Cristinri> whats the difference between the 32 bit and the 64 bit
[10:02] <arnath> Agent_bob: the rest should work?
[10:02] <Cristinri> im sorry for asking dumb questions
[10:02] <humblerodent> Cristinri, the 64-bit fully utilizes a 64-bit processor
[10:02] <humblerodent> Cristinri, while a 32-bit is more solid, but only uses the potential of a 32-bit processor
[10:02] <Cristinri> so i should switch then huh
[10:02] <humblerodent> and thus is less powerful
[10:02] <Cristinri> oh i c
[10:03] <nbkr> Cristinri, No, there aren't real advantages of the 64bit Version for normal users.
[10:03] <humblerodent> Cristinri, only if you HAVE a 64-bit processor =), and are not afraid of possibly dealing with a few minor issues, like some goofiness with Flash and Java
[10:03] <Nallep> arnath: there's lots of configuration problems that you'll run into, I tried doing that on some test systems recently to see if it would work, and it doesn't work too well, your better off loking into using the packagemanager to create a automatic install
[10:03] <arnath> Cristinri: i wouldn't advise using 64 bit yet
[10:03] <Agent_bob> arnath yeah i clone systems all the time.       oh one other thing   if the fs is not in the same location (hda6 for example) then you will have to adjust fstab and menu.lst accordingly
[10:03] <Cristinri> ok ill stick to the 32 bit
[10:03] <Cristinri> cause i did install the 64 bit and couldnt do too much
[10:03] <Cristinri> with the JAVA and what not
[10:04] <humblerodent> arnath / nbkr: do you know the solution to my problem, by chance?  I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I'm on 64-bit now
[10:04] <pwuertz> hi... when installing/removing packages... the processes "Reading Database" and "running ldconfig" take an awful lot of time... is there some way to improve the performance of the package manager? is this some kind of fragmentation problem?
[10:04] <nbkr> humblerodent, What is you problem. I joined just recently.
[10:04] <arnath> humblerodent: i've never actually used the 64 bit one, i've just heard a lot of people having problems with it :p
[10:04] <humblerodent> arnath / nbkr: but I enabled all the repositories, updated the lists, and can't find it
[10:04] <Cristinri> umm i also have the problem of ubuntu freezing on me, anyone have any clues on why that might be?
[10:04] <humblerodent> nbkr: oh sorry, problem is this:
 hey....I have just upgraded to 64-bit Ubuntu and can't find the "Restricted extras" in the "Other" under "Add/Remove"
 where did it run off to?
[10:05] <kazim59> If I compile a new kernel (2.6.23) on my ubuntu machine and use it to boot ubuntu, will it break?
[10:05] <stefano_> jburd, i installed opera, it doesnt open the site either :(
[10:05] <nbkr> Is the restricted repository activeted in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[10:05] <hubuntu> hello everybody! Is compiz a little bit inestable still in general or does it depend in which hardware you are using it? (I had not problem when used on an Intel card, but with the Nvidia update it works nicely, but it's not as tsbale...)
[10:06] <humblerodent> nbkr: yes, everything but backports that is
[10:06] <arnath> hubuntu: it's been stable for me eversince beta ended
[10:06] <stefano_> jburd, i also changed the dns servers, still.
[10:06] <hubuntu> arnath: are you using a nvidia card?
[10:06] <arnath> hubuntu: yes 8600gts
[10:06] <humblerodent> hubuntu, Compiz seems stable but still buggy as not perfect....it will cause tearing of video watching, for example, in my experience
[10:07] <hubuntu> (i hva e an older on Gforce4 440 GO)
[10:07] <Irreducibilis> is it normal to be getting speeds of 500 BYTES a second on 56k?
[10:07] <arnath> hubuntu: not sure, but it should work, but you could always turn it off if its too buggy
[10:07] <nbkr> humblerodent,  What does apt-get update produce then? Any errormessages?
[10:08] <hubuntu> arnath: video watching is not a problem... I installed the GL destop extra feature (as the built in defaults in gutsy are cool, but I like tweaking myself) and this seems to be the reason...
[10:08] <humblerodent> nbkr, nope, all good and everything is fully updated.
[10:08] <alecwh> Hello! I have a pamphlet due in about 3 hours, and I haven't even started yet... I'm in OpenOffice, and I have to "rotate" the page 90 degrees. How do I do this?
[10:08] <hubuntu> arnath: I just reacted to the fact that it was working flawlessly with the intel card...
[10:09] <humblerodent> alecwh, such a slacker :P
[10:09] <arnath> hubuntu: don't know what to tell you m8 :p works here :)
[10:09] <hubuntu> Has gutsy become a little bit heavier to run? I noticed a big change from feisty...
[10:09] <alecwh> humblerodent: It's 4 AM. I got up early to do it. >_>
[10:09] <nbkr> alecwh, Format -> Pagesettings -> Landscape
[10:10] <nbkr> humblerodent, Then it is maybe just a problem with the gui. Try to install whatever you want via apt-get install on console.
[10:10] <hubuntu> I mean the GUI part (GNOME takes ages after log-in), upstart & usplash still in good shape...
[10:11] <alecwh> nbkr: I don't see pagesetting
[10:11] <humblerodent> nbkr, yeah, that obvious thought occurred to me just now =) I feel like a n00b :P
[10:11] <humblerodent> nbkr, works there lol
[10:11] <humblerodent> nbkr, wonder what's wrong with the GUI
[10:11] <effeietsanders> yow all, I installed yesterday ubuntu 6.06, but apperently it is better to install 7.10. However, I am experiencing some problems now witht he boot disk of 7.10 . I burned one myself. With some tweaks I am able to get the basic screen where i can choose to install, check the CD for errors etc. However, if I choose install, it finally gives a black screen with white letters only, where the...
[10:11] <effeietsanders> ...only thing I can do is typing some apperently linux commands, which are totally not clear to me...
[10:11] <nbkr> alecwh, Maybe its labeled different in english. I have only the german version here. Its the 5 item from the top in the "Format" menu.
[10:12] <effeietsanders> could anyone help me how I can move on from that screen?
[10:13] <humblerodent> effeietsanders, did you get any error messages or anything?
[10:13] <alecwh> nbkr, I did that, and it took me to a popup screen. I went to Page, and then Orientation, switched to Landscape. It doesn't seem... right... though.
[10:13] <effeietsanders> humblerodent: no
[10:13] <alecwh> It looks too squareish, not like a piece of paper.
[10:13] <alecwh> It doesn't look flipped
[10:13] <alecwh> transformed.
[10:13] <humblerodent> effeietsanders, odd, sounds like it just took you to a shell
[10:13] <humblerodent> =S
[10:13] <humblerodent> alecwh, it's flipped.
[10:14] <humblerodent> alecwh, optical illusion probably =) maybe having to do with the shape of it in relation to your monitor screen ;)
[10:14] <nbkr> alecwh, Try the print preview - it should look more flipped there.
[10:14] <Agent_bob> effeietsanders i guess you didn't tweek it correctly befor you burned it...
[10:14] <effeietsanders> it was starting the linux kernal, got a graphic blue bar indicating progress, then it went to an organge indicator, for a while, trying to read my floppy disk, and then it came there
[10:14] <alecwh> not really nbkr...
[10:14] <effeietsanders> Agent_bob: i downloaded it from the ubuntu website, and installed it with an iso buner or so
[10:14] <Biju> Can I install Windows XP over my Current Ubuntu install and keep my Ubuntu working? (Dual boot ?) Ubuntu is installed on my Sata drive which is sda I think and I would like to install Windows on my IDE which is hdb.
[10:15] <effeietsanders> (burned in windows XP)
[10:15] <nbkr> alecwh, Pageformat is letter or A4? Then it is flipped. Try printing one page.
[10:15] <effeietsanders> is there a manual how to proceed if you came in that shell?
[10:15] <alecwh> nbkr: I don't have a printer. It's at my school. :P I'll export to PDF
[10:16] <knoppix_odin> hallo
[10:16] <eljak> Biju, it is possible but you have to reinstall grub again and configure it to have windows and ubuntu in the menu
[10:16] <nbkr> alecwh, Being at school at 4 am - thats horrable.
[10:16] <pippi\> hi to all.I need to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop.I have 7.04 burned on cd.Is it better to install directly 7.10,install 7.04 and upgrade to 7.10 or it's the same ? thanks
[10:16] <knoppix_odin> I need help
[10:16] <alecwh> nbkr, I'm at my home right now. >_>
[10:16] <nbkr> knoppix_odin, Just ask your question.
[10:17] <knoppix_odin> can you help me on gremany
[10:17] <Biju> eljak, Is the command grub-install /dev/sda from the live cd?
  I burned one myself. With some tweaks I am able to get the... <<< if you altered the install cd then it's your software, not ubuntu's   </shrugs>
[10:17] <nbkr> alecwh, So the printer is in school. Thats ok then :-)
[10:17] <effeietsanders> i did not alter the cd
[10:17] <sander_> pippi\: I would recommend 7.10
[10:17] <nbkr> knoppix_odin, Es gibt einen deutschsprachigen Ubuntu Channel: #ubuntu-de

[10:17] <effeietsanders> sorry for the wrong temrinology
[10:18] <pippi\> sander,thanks,do you mean to burn a new 7.10 iso and install it ?
[10:18] <alecwh> there is no way that's right,
[10:18] <alecwh> i must be doing it wrong
[10:18] <Agent_bob> effeietsanders ok.  sorry for not being able to stand under you,   english is hard language.  no?
[10:18] <ootm> how can i list the UUID's of my drives from the commandline? ( I need to cut and paste some uuids into /etc/fstab)

[10:22] <alecwh> a regular paper size
[10:22] <alecwh> the paper you buy at office max
[10:23] <alecwh> for most printers
[10:23] <alecwh> the default one
[10:23] <novato_br> Agent_bob, dialup?
[10:23] <novato_br> what, Agent_bob ?
[10:23] <sander_> alecwh: dude I don't even know office max :)
[10:23] <novato_br> do you use dial up conection?
[10:23] <sander_> I use a4 over here (the netherlands)
[10:23] <Agent_bob> novato_br my internet connection is dialup
[10:23] <novato_br> Agent_bob, i'm so sorry.
[10:23] <nbkr> alecwh, Well, for most printers is a bit difficult. Most printers in Europe use A4 Paper. Most printers in the USA use Letter-Format I think.
[10:23] <alecwh> letter
[10:23] <alecwh> yes
[10:23] <alecwh> letter
[10:23] <novato_br> Agent_bob, it's sad.

[10:24] <MSchoenitzer> Hi! Is
[10:24] <novato_br> scp ? what is it?
 that makes sense now you say it. It exlains why we always have to change the defualt settings to A4
[10:24] <calvary> I always used to thing A4 was the default everywhere :)

[10:25] <novato_br> but do you download at 9.7MB/s on local network, right?
[10:25] <alecwh> nbkr
[10:26] <effeietsanders> sander_: It was what was suggested by humblerodent
[10:26] <nbkr> calvary, Yes unfortunately there is more then one standard. But you shouldn't have to change the page size to a4 every time, just once and everything should be fine. Maybe its a bug if you have to change it always. I had some similar problems with ubuntu 6.10
[10:26] <wackimonki> hi guys
[10:26] <effeietsanders> sander_: during installation, i get into a black screen with white letters, where is suggested that i can get the commands by typing "help"
[10:26] <combinio> why if i'm pressing CTRL+X and later CTRL+V buttons it is copy&paste icons and not cut&paste ? (kub-7.04)
[10:26] <wackimonki> i would like to script my consoles to up multiple windows, and cd into multiple directories. does anyone know how this can be done?
[10:27] <wackimonki> i'm using gnome terminal
[10:27] <wackimonki> up = open up
[10:27] <alecwh> nbkr: did you get the pdf?
[10:28] <calvary> I wanted to ask about softwate. On windows I use a program called URL snooper that tells me exactly what is going through my computer. When I looked at my repository it has so many alternatives that I don't know which is the best sniffer. Rather than try them all and see (I'm tight for HD space) I wanted a recommendation.
[10:28] <achadwick> wackimonki: you could investigate screen, a console-based multiplexor for terminals.
[10:28] <calvary> nbkr: actually it's mainly on winodws that problem occurs for me. On this system it was set correctly at the installation
[10:28] <calvary> I presumed that happened when I chose the UK kb layout
[10:29] <MSchoenitzer> I need to download some Ubuntu-Packages (for 	Gutsy Gibbon) form a NON-Ubuntu PC (fedora) is there any Webfrontend for the Ubuntu-repositories?
[10:29] <alecwh> arg!
[10:29] <wackimonki> achadwick, i like tabbing in gnome terminal and would like to stick to it. i should check out their website actually
[10:29] <Agent_bob> achadwick you like screen ?
[10:29] <achadwick> Another possibility is powershell. Agent_bob: love it.
[10:30] <achadwick> Or multi-gnome-terminal.
[10:30] <MSchoenitzer> I need to download some Ubuntu-Packages (for 	Gutsy Gibbon) form a NON-Ubuntu PC (fedora) is there any Webfrontend for the Ubuntu-repositories?
[10:31] <calvary> I've just realised I'm in the wrong channel (I'm using Debian) Mind you a lot of the recommendations will work anyway. It seems to me that Debian works much like Ubuntu - it's just smaller.
[10:31] <miss^l0t3k> hi. i want to change default yucky brown colored screen that shows after I login, until the desktop loads. i set it to black in gdmsetup, and also set the color behind the wallpaper, anyone know where to change this screen?
[10:31] <Tomcat_> MSchoenitzer: packages.ubuntu.com
[10:31] <inversekinetix> i need to get mame working , anyone use it?
[10:31] <nbkr> alecwh, Yes, I did. Gnome says its: 279 x 216 mm - Thats letter format and landscape (also gnome says its portrait), so I would assume that everything is fine.

[10:32] <sharkp> calvary: how?
[10:32] <MSchoenitzer> Tomcat_: wow - Thanks a lot!
[10:32] <achadwick> inversekinetix: what problems are you seeing?
[10:32] <miss^l0t3k> thanks achadwick but that gdmsetup and i set it black there, this setting is somewhere else i guess
[10:32] <miss^l0t3k> that is*
[10:32] <nbkr> unique, You'll need the correct codecs installed, the correct browser plugins and the page doesn't have to use drm.
[10:32] <inversekinetix> achadwick: most of the games wont work
[10:32] <calvary> I'll have to look at where I saw it sharkp - you mean Deb Etch don't you?
[10:33] <calvary> I did hear there are probls with the newer systems Lenny isn't it?
[10:33] <calvary> Hang on I'll look
[10:33] <Krohnen> Hi all! I have a problem since I installed 7.10. Actually, even when I simply boot the installer CD-ROM, the background is all 1280x1024, but the bottom bar (with the trash and virtual displays etc) are halfway up the screen. I think X sees this as 128x1024 (correct) but something else sees this as a 1024x768 screen. In previous versions it worked fine. I tried both ubuntu as well as kubuntu. Same problem. Any ideas?
[10:33] <achadwick> inversekinetix: you need the ROM files. Ubuntu can't distribute those.
[10:33] <alecwh> nbkr. ok, I'll have to deal with it, I SWEAR it's messed up though. >_>
[10:34] <alecwh> URG! Desktop Publishing sucks with linux
[10:34] <Lllama> Anyone know why my xorg.conf is being overwritten on reboot?
[10:34] <unique> mbkr, for firefox were i can find the codec?
[10:34] <inversekinetix> achadwick: i have ALL the roms 1.20u1  its the mame sdl that is old, i need to use sdl 1.20, i managed to get it installed but i need a front end for it
[10:35] <DkidPT> hi
[10:35] <m4jkl> hi there
[10:35] <calvary> Ah you might not like them nbkr they seem to be KDE dependent
[10:35] <nbkr> unique, Firefox doesn't need that codec. Its the plugin that needs the codec. So it depends on the plugin you're using (and the codec of course).
[10:36] <calvary> Looking now there is kwlan and wpagui
[10:36] <Krohnen> I have a latop that I use as a desktop. The screen is broken on it, so I attached a monitor to it as the primary (only) display.
[10:36] <calvary> But even the second one seems to need lots of KDE libraries
[10:36] <nbkr> calvary, Pardon, I didn't get the meaning of: Ah you might not like them nbkr they seem to be KDE dependent
[10:36] <achadwick> inversekinetix: I ended up rolling my own that shoves icons into the GNOME games menu. That's really all the frontend you need, but I also gave gnome-video-arcade a little try. Didn't work.
[10:36] <cmakenewbie> how can I get tracker to remove stuff it has indexed if I no longer want it to index those things? I have removed the folders that contain the indexed stuff from its search list, but it still displays things from there in the search results
[10:37] <miss^l0t3k> hi. i want to change default yucky brown colored screen that shows after I login, until the desktop loads. i set it to black in gdmsetup, and also set the color behind the wallpaper, anyone know where to change this screen?
[10:37] <calvary> Well it's just I've noticed KDE libraries often seem to be very space comsuming
[10:37] <unique> i don't have plugin for firefox how you can suggest to me
[10:37] <g[r]eek> hi - i created a dummy user called guest with home folder (on my dedicated server) so that i can share a file with a friend via ftp. but if he logs into the guest account, he is able to read files outside of the guest directory, such as important config files with passwords and stuff
[10:37] <calvary> But I have very little space
[10:37] <g[r]eek> is there an easy way to force the guest account to only be able to be in the guest folder during a ftp session?
[10:37] <calvary> I was being very subjective there :)
[10:37] <g[r]eek> otherwise i have to go and remove read access on so many files...
[10:37] <inversekinetix> achadwick:  I have ALL the artwork for mame, i want to use it in a front end
[10:37] <NET||abuse> Hi all,, does anyone know how i can specify a video output driver for totem, like under vlc i can select XV or X11 or OpenGL or whatever,, i want to set totem to use x11 so it'll play nicely with compiz
[10:38] <Punker> rg
[10:38] <Agent_bob> Krohnen what driver ?
[10:38] <eljak> miss^l0t3k, i think it is called splash screen
[10:38] <qwerty121> hi! there any way to remove the icons of the mounted filesystems from the desktop?
[10:39] <Krohnen> It is an ATI-based laptop
[10:39] <inversekinetix> qwerty just unmount them
[10:39] <Krohnen> so the standard ATI driver
[10:39] <NET||abuse> qwerty121, restart a few times, they go away eventually :) bit of a weird bug though yeh, It's a bit annoying at times
[10:39] <toporow> witam
 I can say kwlan worked fine on my Mandriva portable - that's the only experience I have of using it - sorry I haven't actally used it on a rellevant system - but I see no reason it shouldn't work on Etch
[10:39] <miss^l0t3k> eljak, ok i disabled that splash screen thing somehow a while back, with the icon thingys that show one by one, but there is still the ugly brown background, any idea how 2 change it?
[10:39] <Agent_bob> Krohnen might try  vesa   and see what it does.
[10:39] <Cyber_Studyin> i dont have a splash screen at startup anymore :(
[10:40] <Cyber_Stalker> ive got that annoying bug that tunes "loading startup scripts" and it hangs
[10:40] <Agent_bob> Krohnen if you use the propritary driver, then i sujest you consult the    ati   infonode
[10:40] <Cyber_Stalker> then you have to hit alt F1 for a prompt to log in
[10:40] <qwerty121> NET||abuse: your solution won't work for sure. :P
[10:40] <achadwick> inversekinetix: I can't really recommend any because I don't use them. Assume you have sdlmame set up correctly with the right directory layout and a properly configured mamerc somewhere. Most frontends should pick up on that. Google, I suppose.
[10:40] <kbrooks> miss^l0t3k, change the login screen background, and then change your desktop background to that
[10:41] <Cyber_Stalker> kbrooks: any idea's on how to solve my issue?
[10:41] <kbrooks> miss^l0t3k, system > administration > login screen
[10:41] <inversekinetix> achadwick:  i dont know where it put the mame cfg file
[10:41] <miss^l0t3k> kbrooks, huh? i did set it to black in gdmsetup but it shows a brown one in between login and the desktop loading
[10:42] <miss^l0t3k> system>administration>login screen == gdmsetup
[10:42] <kbrooks> miss^l0t3k, really? cant help here
[10:42] <miss^l0t3k> kbrooks, okey thanks 8-]
[10:42] <hairulfr> Hey, just installed 7.10 and looking good, but how do I tweak all the nice little things in Compiz (or wth it's called now) Can I activate the old interface somehow?
[10:43] <miss^l0t3k> hairulfr, install the compiz config thingo
[10:43] <miss^l0t3k> hairulfr, in the repos
[10:43] <hairulfr> miss^l0t3k: Thanks a bunch :) Almost cried when I saw the setup options Cheers miss^l0t3k
[10:44] <miss^l0t3k> np
[10:44] <TomB_> compiz-config-settings or something, no?
[10:44] <achadwick> inversekinetix: the old xmame packaes used /etc/xmame/xmamerc and a local copy in your $HOME/.xmame/xmamerc . Assume sdlmame is something like that; that said, I get by with the Debian xmame-sdl packages.
[10:44] <eljak> miss^l0t3k, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[10:44] <Fido> hey,how to usr "tar" command?
[10:44] <TomB_> anyway, just dumped compiz

[10:44] <Agent_bob> fido man tar
[10:44] <Fido> thanks Bob
[10:45] <unique> Hi all, why the image and the character on my desktop are not clear?
[10:45] <Agent_bob> then when you can't understand that.   ask in here.
[10:45] <inversekinetix> achadwick:  xmame is way outdated, i dont have enough space to move 80GB of roms to my linux drive, i need to modify the paths manually
[10:45] <Krohnen> Agent_bob: I can try VESA, but since I see this problem even when I boot it off the install-media, it doesn't seem to me to be a prop-driver issue.
[10:46] <TomB_> Now I have a weird problem; when removing compiz/emerald Metacity won't load automatically when I login to Gnome
[10:46] <TomB_> Kwin works ok in KDE
[10:46] <Agent_bob> Krohnen ah yeah     well,  it's not the monitor is it ?     have another monitor you can test ?
[10:46] <Krohnen> Also, X seems to work fine... I can move a window around one the whole desktop, but if I maximize it, for example -it will maximize to the 1024x768 top left part of the screen.
[10:47] <Krohnen> Agent_bob: Big brown background on the wole 1028x1024 screen. Monitor is all right.
[10:47] <achadwick> inversekinetix: try looking in the files I mentioned, substituting "sdl" for "x". I'm assuming you're using something like http://wallyweek.altervista.org/
[10:48] <Krohnen> Agent_bob: I think that 7.10 uses the resolution of the laptop-screen (1024x760) and applies it on the window-manager on the 1280x1024 external screen..
[10:48] <hairulfr> One more: What's the name and placement of the conf file I need to edit to customize resolution?
[10:48] <Radio1> How do you set evolution mail to port 587..there are no port settings.
[10:48] <achadwick> inversekinetix: copy the master *mamerc to your home in the place where sdlmame expects it to be. Modify that copy with  text editor.
[10:49] <chesterm_> hi
[10:49] <Tomcat_> Radio1: Add ":587" to the host name.
[10:49] <Radio1> ah..ok..t/y
[10:49] <osl> i got this error pxe-E38  TFTP cannot open connection , what could be done to solve it ?
[10:49] <user_china> hello
[10:49] <chesterm_> can anybody help me?? i have a ati radeon mobility 9200, i can't use the advanced desktop effects
[10:50] <Agent_bob> Krohnen if that was all it was   then it would be a simple rezolution change.  i.e. the monitor would be displaying in 1024x768      it sounds more like a vertual resolution issue    check in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for a "vertual"   setting
[10:50] <inversekinetix> achadwick: thanks, i just tried modifying it but it tells me im not authorized to make changes to the file, Im getting tired of all this b.s
[10:51] <inversekinetix> this is worse than vista, i have to enter passwords to do anything
[10:51] <inversekinetix> cant modify any files in the file system
[10:51] <musikgoat> does evolution have an alarm clock?
[10:51] <hairulfr> omg, I'm amazed at how far everything has come! So structured and nice, kudos!
[10:51] <achadwick> inversekinetix: you copied the file to your home, right? You can edit that.
[10:52] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: sudo / kdesu?
[10:52] <inversekinetix> will that unlock my file system
[10:52] <Cyber_Stalker> when you install a package with apt-get where does it download the archive to? i would like to remove one of the archives downloaded and reinstall it
[10:52] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: NTFS?
[10:52] <inversekinetix> no the file system that linux is on. ext-3
[10:52] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: You type uninstall instad, i guess
[10:52] <achadwick> No, it just makes you wear a hat that lets you get things done for a bit.
[10:53] <inversekinetix> i want to be able to modify my files without letting it me edit them and tell me when i try and save it that im not allowed to
[10:53] <Cyber_Stalker> no hairulfr uninstall does not remove the downloaded deb
[10:53] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: Which fiels are you on about?
[10:53] <SNy> inversekinetix: If you copied the file as root, it belongs to root.
[10:53] <achadwick> inversekinetix: it's done that way for basic system security reasons.
[10:53] <achadwick> SNy has spotted the flaw in my instructions :/
[10:54] <SNy> You'd need to change ownership with 'sudo chown $user:$group $file'
[10:54] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: Well think a bit then, man! It's simple, apt-get remove perhaps??
[10:54] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: :)
[10:54] <inversekinetix> i dont want to go through that everytime I need to edit a file, how do i remove that restriction permanently
[10:54] <SNy> achadwick: I haven't even read  your instructions. o.O
[10:55] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: You screwed up somewhere along the line, now ur paying for it, which files do you need to edit?
[10:55] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: that still doesnt remove the deb
[10:55] <Cyber_Stalker> ..........
[10:55] <tuna> inversekinetix: you do not. unix is a multi.user system, and system files belong to root, not you
[10:55] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: dont copy files as root and you will be ok
[10:56] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: Purge????
[10:56] <inversekinetix> the files were installed by synaptic
[10:56] <Cyber_Stalker> hmm
[10:56] <qwerty122> hi! after unintstalling programs from wine. the logo's and shortcuts are still there. how to remove them?
[10:56] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: i dnt remember purge actually getting rid of it
[10:56] <inversekinetix> i cannot edit any file that is in the file system
[10:56] <staykovmarin> hi i am using ubuntu with gnome, is there a way to change the default file browser?
[10:56] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: wtf did you do?
[10:57] <qwerty122> staykovmarin: check out http://gnome-hacks.org
[10:57] <tuna> inversekinetix: ...but if you want to be sneaky and unsafe, might I suggest "sudo nautilus" (oh am i so gonna be whipped for this one)
[10:57] <Cyber_Stalker> lol tuna whats wrong with sudo nautilus?
[10:57] <inversekinetix> nothing, i installed this OS and i cannot edit any files that are in the root directory, only things in my home folder and media drives
[10:57] <staykovmarin> qwerty122: thank you, i will
[10:57] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: you fool thats because it belongs to root
[10:57] <Cyber_Stalker> not you
[10:58] <Cyber_Stalker> its ment to be like that
[10:58] <Cyber_Stalker> .
[10:58] <qwerty122> hi! after unintstalling programs from wine. the logo's and shortcuts are still there. how to remove them?
[10:58] <Biju> Is it possible to synch my Nokia 6681 with any program in Ubuntu gutsy as I did with outlook?
[10:58] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: Try from synaptic, it has some options too
[10:58] <tuna> inversekinetix: that's kinda how it's supposed to be by default. It's called security
[10:58] <inversekinetix> qwerty Ive been asking this question for a week, no one can answer
[10:58] <SNy> inversekinetix: That's why achadwick suggested you copy over the mamerc file to your home.
[10:58] <Cyber_Stalker> lol hairulfr tried that :D
[10:58] <inversekinetix> tuna its called a pain in the ass,
[10:58] <SNy> Preferably in a way that it belongs to you.
[10:58] <tuna> inversekinetix: when you NEED to do it, run nautilus as sudo
[10:58] <qwerty122> inversekinetix: and what's that, btw?
[10:59] <qwerty122> inversekinetix: the same as mine?
[10:59] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: apt-get remove xxx should do it,
[10:59] <inversekinetix> SNy copy it over and then what, edit it and then copy it back to the folder it was in before?
[10:59] <tuna> inversekinetix: when all the executable programs are untouchable by the main user, stuff like email worms become pretty much impossible
[10:59] <SNy> No, leave it there.
[10:59] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: If not --purge
[10:59] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: nope when i reinstalled after that it doesnt download the package again :(
[10:59] <SNy> It will then be used instead of the master one.
[10:59] <SNy> That is the idea.
[10:59] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: If not --pruge remove
[10:59] <SNy> Master config overridden by user config.
[10:59] <Cyber_Stalker> eish lol
[10:59] <SNy> That's how things work in unices.
[11:00] <Cyber_Stalker> purge remove looks nice hairulfr  :D
[11:00] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker: Apt-get install reinstall then  --purge?
[11:00] <inversekinetix> so how will it find all the paths that were dependent on its original location?
[11:00] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: i did a purge and then tried to install again earlyer
[11:00] <inversekinetix> paths are irrelevent in linux? i can put a file anywhere and it will work?
[11:00] <tuna> inversekinetix: just to elaborate, nautilus is the file manager, if you launch that from terminal with "sudo nautilus", you getto edit files freely
[11:00] <SNy> You just copy the configuration file, not the program.
[11:00] <Biju> Does anyone Synch their Mobile Phones with Ubuntu Gutsy at all ?
[11:01] <hairulfr> Cyber_Stalker:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install ?
[11:01] <inversekinetix> so how will the program know to use the config file thats not in the location its supposed to be in?
[11:01] <SNy> inversekinetix: Huh? No. The user config file has a specific place, too, of course.
[11:01] <SNy> $HOME/$file.
[11:01] <HarleyQuine> hi everyone, I was having some probs yesterday and did a memory check using ubuntu's live cd and it threw up errors, just want to know whether this means my RAM is broken or what? My laptop's not even a year old yet so I should send it back in for guarantee.. can anyone help?
[11:02] <inversekinetix> i dont understand what you mean
[11:02] <SNy> Where $file could be something like .bashrc or somesuch.
[11:02] <SNy> THe appropriate program will know that it should look in your $HOME first.
[11:02] <SNy> Only then will it attempt to use the master config in /etc or wherever.
[11:02] <zx80> inversekinetix: it's dead simple. a normal user should not do administrative tasks. that's what sudo (root privileges) are for. you only need root privs to change _system wide_ settings. per user settings (files and directories beginning with a "." in your home dir) can be changed without root privs of course.
[11:02] <miss^l0t3k> HarleyQuine, i'd say run memtest once more to be sure, then send it back
[11:02] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: have you installed mysql before?
[11:03] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: i have an error for you, the one im trying to resolve
[11:03] <HarleyQuine> okey dokey.. so a healthy system would have 0 errors yeah?
[11:03] <caligarn1037> does anybody know where to get the solution to the azureus (splash but instant crash) problem on gutsy?
[11:03] <miss^l0t3k> HarleyQuine, yer
[11:03] <HarleyQuine> alright :) thanks a lot
[11:03] <Cyber_Stalker> hairulfr: http://rafb.net/p/jwT5RJ47.html <[11:04] <valehru> hey guys, when creating a new user from the console, is there anyway to jail them to the their home directory?
[11:05] <CrocoJet> good morning everyone
[11:05] <CrocoJet> I was reading this article " Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive"
[11:05] <inversekinetix> i need to edit this file /etc/sdlmame/sdlmame.ini            the executable is expecting to find the file in /etc/sdlmame   if i put a modified copy elsewhere in my dir how will the execuatble know to use the modified file instead of the one its supposed to use?
[11:05] <CrocoJet> http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258
[11:05] <Krohnen> Agent_bob: I just booted it up with the Feisty Kubuntu install CD, and in Feisty all is okay. This is definately a bug with gutsy, then. I wonder if there is an open ticket for it... It's been screwed all since I upgraded from Feisty. I will look for the virtual-resolution stuff that you mentioned when I boot back into what's on the harddisk..
[11:06] <CrocoJet> any kind of problem for desktop hd also ?
[11:06] <Cyber_Stalker> how can i change the icon in the far left hand corner of my terminal?
[11:06] <zx80> inversekinetix: i guess sdlmame also looks for a per user config file in your home dir. but i don't know sdlmame, so i'm not 100% sure.
[11:06] <Cyber_Stalker> far top left, the little ubuntu icon, i would like to change it to an animated gif

[11:09] <Angel-SL> i
[11:09] <SNy> inversekinetix: Most programs do also have a command line parameter to tell them where a config file should be taken from.
[11:09] <EliasAmaral> thank you Agent_bob =)
[11:09] <inversekinetix> SNy i wanna use my computer, no study it
[11:09] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: it would be fine if you knew how to use it
[11:09] <SNy> inversekinetix: Well, you need to if you wanna use linux.
[11:09] <Cyber_Stalker> i was exactly the same as you when i started back in the day
[11:09] <inversekinetix> so its not ready as a desktop then>?
[11:10] <SNy> At least a bit of knowledge is necessary.
[11:10] <Cyber_Stalker> no it is
[11:10] <Cyber_Stalker> its not noob friendly
[11:10] <inversekinetix> i was expecting it to be usuable
[11:10] <Cyber_Stalker> it is usuable
[11:10] <SNy> Oh, it is.
[11:10] <Agent_bob> inversekinetix that's right.  it's not even close to ready for prime time.
[11:10] <Cyber_Stalker> not noob friendly... if you duno wtf ure doing ure gonna hate it
[11:10] <Agent_bob> ahh  but neither is windows
[11:11] <inversekinetix> hmmm, all i want to do is edit an ini file, i cant
[11:11] <steven_> hi, my resolution in gdm login screen is wrong (sometihng like 800x600 or 640x480) and everything is stretched cause i'm on a wirescreen monitor... when logged in the resolution goes right to 1920x1200
[11:11] <inversekinetix> i have to piss about changing permissions or do it through terminal
[11:11] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: "sudo gedit /path/to/ini"
[11:12] <Cyber_Stalker> inversekinetix: "sudo gedit /path/to/ini/.ini" try that n see
[11:12] <Agent_bob> Cyber_Stalker being an ini file it's probably in ntfs space...
[11:12] <inversekinetix> how do i remove all restrictions, do i have to log in as root?
[11:12] <hairulfr> Agent_bob: LOL
[11:12] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: sudo
[11:13] <inversekinetix> that will remove all restrictions?
[11:13] <Agent_bob> no
[11:13] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: For the given action, and no, kdesu
[11:13] <Agent_bob> things mounted readonly will still be read only   no mater who you are.
[11:13] <Cyber_Stalker> Agent_bob: i dont think its read only tho
[11:13] <inversekinetix> Agent Bob its a file on ext3
[11:13] <Cyber_Stalker> its not on ntfs its his linux install
[11:14] <Agent_bob> maybe not.   we'll see
[11:14] <Nallep> !sudo | inversekinetix

[11:16] <gryfie__> It offers me help, and tells me, ther i can type in live-expert, but it can't find it
[11:16] <inversekinetix> i wasnt being rude
[11:17] <inversekinetix> man, i cant even delete unwanted icons from the applications menu in this thing
[11:17] <inversekinetix> cant remove usb drives without errors
[11:17] <Agent_bob> inversekinetix short story is simply this.   if the file isn't in your users home dir   you will need permission to mess with it.   that's one reason linux doesn't catch cold.

[11:20] <chi11y> I'm trying to make UI's using autoglade
[11:20] <inversekinetix> get that and post your results miss^
[11:21] <chi11y> but autoglade can't find gconf
[11:21] <chi11y> I'm using a server install with openbox
[11:21] <chi11y> I've installed autoglade and glade and gconf
[11:21] <chi11y> with no problems
[11:22] <chi11y> but autoglade just gives me.. wait I'll pastebin it
[11:22] <brade1> hi could this help me with my sound problem
[11:22] <brade1> Hi I got similar problem after upgrading to 7.10.
[11:22] <brade1> I found this and was able to fixed it as follow:
[11:22] <brade1> 1/ update the default kernel options into /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:22] <brade1> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-genericroot=UUID=0baea18f-2277-494d-8c62-95c4fcbdef86 ro quiet splashpci=assign-busses acpi=off noapic nolapic irqpoll=noacpi
[11:22] <brade1> 2/ reconfigure the alsa module even if you already reinstalled it
[11:22] <brade1> cd /usr/src
[11:22] <brade1> sudo module-assistant update
[11:22] <miss^l0t3k> lol, inversekinetix i do not need some lame trash from kiddyoverclocking site to know that i like nix much better than wind0ze, but each to their own :)
[11:22] <brade1> sudo module-assistant prepare
[11:22] <brade1> sudo module-assistant auto-install alsa
[11:22] <brade1> sudo shutdown -r now
[11:22] <brade1> ??
[11:22] <WirelessEuphoria> my wireless does not seem to want to obtain an IP automatically. It tries to, but fails to every time on any AP I've tried it with. How do I resolve this issue?
[11:22] <Nallep> inversekinetix: if you want to add a shortcut to startup gedit in super user mode, add a new menu item to your applications with the command "gksudo gedit"
[11:22] <WirelessEuphoria> besides static declaration
[11:23] <Agent_bob> ha i just found a bug in an installer.   the mouse cursor will move behind some of the buttons   lol
[11:23] <Nallep> inversekinetic: then whenever you want tot edit a system file, you can use that to edit it easily
[11:23] <Agent_bob> or maybe it's a feature
[11:23] <achadwick> "an installer" - what installer?

[11:25] <inversekinetix> thanks Nallep I'll do that
[11:25] <achadwick> gb.archive and security.ubuntu are up, if that's any help
[11:25] <manuel_> someone got an nvidia gforce 8800 (GT/GTS/GTX) to work on ubuntu 7.10?
[11:25] <hairulfr> inversekinetix: Just go away....
[11:26] <Cyber_Stalker> no idea brade1
[11:26] <miss^l0t3k> inversekinetix, haha. well cookie for you. you'll most likely need all that to play solitaire in the next version of wind0ze ;)
[11:26] <Cyber_Stalker> i just kept trying untill it worked again
[11:26] <achadwick> chi11y: sudo aptitude install python-gconf
[11:26] <chi11y> achadwick, ok will try that thanx :)
[11:27] <inversekinetix> sudo aptitude uninstall miss^lOt3k
[11:27] <miss^l0t3k> :)
[11:27] <chi11y> argh! no module gnome.. does that mean I have to install gnome?? o.O

[11:28] <Ronin[]> is it possible that a running download is causing that problem in synaptic ?
[11:28] <inversekinetix> callvote kiss achadwick
[11:28] <inversekinetix> "oops"
[11:28] <miss^l0t3k> ...
[11:28] <hairulfr> Ronin[]: Yes, but what is the problem and what are you downloading with?
[11:29] <AL3X-admin> Hi everyone :) ! What is the diference between normal kernel and a RealTime kernel in Ubuntu Gusty ?
[11:29] <inversekinetix>  ChanServ removes channel operator status from Pici  << what does this mean?
[11:29] <Ronin[]> i'm downloading 7.10 Live CD via Firefox
[11:29] <Agent_bob> oh me.   i've installed 6 OS's on this one box in the last 5 hours and have two to go...
[11:30] <Ronin[]> my synaptic told me, that it could not download package-lists
[11:30] <achadwick> chi11y: are you using kubuntu? In that case, you'll have to install some of the GNOME libs to get GLADE working.
[11:30] <inversekinetix> おやすみ
[11:30] <Ronin[]> actually, i just refreshed the source-lists via apt-get update
[11:30] <WirelessEuphoria> my wireless does not seem to want to obtain an IP automatically. It tries to, but fails to every time on any AP I've tried it with. How do I resolve this issue other then statically assigning it?
[11:30] <chi11y> achadwick, I'm using server with only openbox
[11:30] <Ronin[]> so it seams that the servers are running
[11:30] <chi11y> but only the libs, you say?
[11:30] <hairulfr> Ronin[]: The other DL could be killing your connection
[11:31] <Ronin[]> i wanted to reinstall eclipse / blender a few minutes ago, that was when it first told me the package could not be downloaded
[11:31] <Ronin[]> ok, i'll wait until it's done
[11:31] <miss^l0t3k> WirelessEuphoria, i found gnome network manager to be somewhat screwy with wifi, maybe try wicd idk
[11:31] <achadwick> In theory, yes
[11:31] <necrite_> WirelessEuphoria, first.. kill all the dhclients, then kill all pppd on your box ( if u dont need it) and then run again dhclient  interface
[11:31] <AL3X-admin> Hi everyone :) ! What is the diference between normal kernel and a RealTime kernel in Ubuntu Gusty ?
[11:31] <hairulfr> How come "Dictionary Look Up" has been broken since for ever?
[11:32] <chi11y> achadwick, just libgnome then or would there be any others required?
[11:32] <joao__> hello there, I'm trying to install php5-interbase on gutsy but it seens there's a brokem req, I saw the bug filled at the launchpad, Is there someone aware of this ? any workaround ?
[11:32] <gryfie__> hi. Does the ubuntu-live cd (7,1) boot into the desktop?
[11:33] <Pinchiukas> I've had this great idea - to use a thin client as a router, any ideas how to implement that? haven't had any experience with thin clients :/
[11:33] <kritzstapf> http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/6946/screenshot1mx0.png - why are some of the icons that blury?
[11:33] <Ronin[]> it seams, that the problem does only occur with synaptic, i still can install via apt-get
[11:33] <gryfie__> I have problems, 'cause I cant boot into safe-grafics-mode into desktop
[11:33] <hairulfr> Ronin[] Weird,
[11:34] <Ronin[]> ok, erase last line, now even apt-get is telling me the same *g*
[11:34] <Agent_bob> Ronin[] sources.list problem ?
[11:34] <kritzstapf> Ronin[]: are you using de.archive.ubuntu.com?
[11:34] <WirelessEuphoria> necrite_, how do i go about doing this?
[11:34] <Ronin[]> no, getting a 404 - not found problem
[11:35] <Agent_bob> Ronin[] pastebin your sources.list file and lets have a look.
[11:35] <Ronin[]> kritztapf: yes
[11:35] <kritzstapf> the de.archive.ubuntu.com mirror is empty atm, dont know why, but it is, i just removed the "de." part from my sources.list and updated, working ;)
[11:36] <achadwick> chi11y: simply installing python-glade2 should sort out the dependencies for you. There shouldn't be any desktop magic like gdm in that bundle, but you might want to use apt-get rather than aptitude for server.
[11:36] <necrite_> WirelessEuphoria, sudo killall dhclient; sudo killall dhclient; sudo killall pppd ; sudo killall pppd ;
[11:36] <necrite_> :D
[11:36] <Ronin[]> ok.... thanks ^^ it's been a while since i last editted the source.list,  where is that file ? *g*
[11:36] <Pici> /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:37] <achadwick> ... simply because aptitude tries to be smart and pulls in Recommends: stuff too.

[11:39] <reverseblade> kritzstapf, I don't want 100.14.19. It is buggy on my system
[11:39] <jburd> Ranuka: Boot the PC using the Ubuntu CD and click Install on the desktop that appears in a while.
[11:39] <kritzstapf> reverseblade: hm :/

[11:40] <srujan> hi all
[11:40] <jburd> Ranuka: The installer can handle all that for you.  Use "Guided partitioning"
[11:40] <chi11y> hmm python-glade2 was already installed.. :S
[11:40] <chi11y> well, I think I'll do some googeling on dependencies for autoglade, this seems weird

[11:49] <chi11y> achadwick, what is the name of the gnome python libs
[11:49] <chi11y> python-gnome is a nogo

I was just messing around with some colors on my desktop, like what color the icon text should have etc.etc. After a couple of X reboots a window came up and said "Cannot detect video-card drivers!" And my resolution got all messed up, my twinview dissapeared and I cannot change the resolution of my screen over 640x450 (or whatever that resolution is) please help!
[11:58] <panny> astro76 that myth tv seems to be a whole system, not just a program that would just allow me to use a remote to navigate pics and music

[12:20] <ttmrichter_> Hello.  Does anybody here know where Rhythmbox keeps its configurations?  I've deleted ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox and, in fact, deleted everything I could find (using find | grep <whatever>) that has "rhythmbox", "xine" and "gstreamer" anywhere in my home directory tree -- yet whenever I fire up Rhythmbox, it's bringing with it a whole bunch of incorrect settings that it refuses to lose.  Where is it getting these from?
[12:20] <Pici> ttmrichter_: have you checked in gconf?
[12:21] <wirechief> i have a jumping cursor problem that i have to use my one line script for to keep it in check with synclient TouchpadOff=1
[12:21] <wirechief> very annouying
[12:21] <nila> thanks sander_
[12:21] <wirechief> seems all distros have same mouse problems with this computer
[12:22] <ttmrichter_> Pici: I deleted *EVERYTHING* *EVERYWHERE* that had gstreamer, xine or rhythmbox in the file or directory name.  Including under the .gconf tree.  Still really bad luck at getting rid of the crap that rhythmbox has accumulated.
[12:22] <sander_> ttmrichter_: tried to search gconf?
[12:22] <Pici> sander_: I just suggested that ;)
[12:22] <ttmrichter_> sander_: search how?
[12:22] <Pici> ttmrichter_: using gconf-editor
[12:23] <nila> sander_,  - do you know how to configure it so it happens when I move my mouse to the edge of the screen (a corner) instead of on a button click?
[12:24] <Pici> nila: if you are using Gutsy, and have compizconfig-settings-manager you can set it up to use a mouse corner
[12:24] <nila>  have that and i'm in there
[12:24] <ttmrichter_> OK, gconf-editor returns lots of hits on rhythmbox -- but won't let me delete anything.  What's the trick?
[12:25] <nila> got it :)
[12:26] <nila> is there any way with a dual monitor setup in Gutsy to have a seperate wallpaper on each screen instead of one stretched between both?
[12:27] <ttmrichter_> Actually the gconf-editor thing doesn't contain the stuff that's giving me grief.  Where does rhythmbox actually store its information?
[12:28] <Bokeh> does anyone know if there's a x64 dpkg with the e1000_ich9 driver floating around somewhere?
[12:28] <Bokeh> for 2.6.20 that is ;)
[12:30] <boris> does ubuntu have any tools for cleaning up disk space in its repos ?
[12:30] <g[r]eek> Hi I've installed proftpd but I cannot connect to it with the default account from my ftp client
[12:31] <g[r]eek> The error doesn't tell me much "Unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect"- the proftpd.conf is configured on port 22
[12:31] <Bokeh> SFTP is not FTP

[12:31] <Pinchiukas> is there a version of ubuntu that could fit on a 128MB usb flash key?
[12:32] <Bokeh> i think a base install should fit pinchiukas
[12:32] <Bokeh> but i doubt you'd have all the graphical goodies then
[12:32] <Pinchiukas> I don't need them, I just want to test if the machine boots
[12:33] <g[r]eek> "Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 1.
[12:33] <nila> hmm
[12:33] <Pinchiukas> Bokeh where can I find such an edition?
[12:33] <nila> I'm abit upset with Gutsy
[12:33] <nila> and Compiz
[12:33] <Bokeh> think you'd have to install it manually
[12:33] <nila> there's only 4 different ways to choose between currently open apps :(
[12:33] <nila> not impressed! :P
[12:33] <Gatestone> bergheim: yes Ubuntu is UTF-8 by default, as most systems are these days.
[12:33] <g[r]eek> Bokeh: Why when I type (as root user) "/etc/init.d/proftpd restart" I get the error "ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration."
[12:33] <Pinchiukas> Bokeh how do I do that?

[12:37] <gotdalife> hey everyone.. i'm running ubuntu feisty on an acer aspire 4710 notebook.. i'm wondering if any fix is available for the problem with the line-out.. the sound still comes out of the built-in speakers, even when i plug an external speaker into the line out... thanks!
[12:37] <g[r]eek> Bokeh: lol - I don't think my ftp daemon is starting up to begin with. When I type "ps -e | grep proftpd" it returns nothing. So perhaps that is the problem - how do I get proftpd to start?
[12:37] <SeanTater> boris: I doubt there is one for the first, but filelight is a convenient way of visualizing what is taking the most space.

[12:54] <josh_> there are two different audio encodings
[12:54] <josh_> Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5 channels
[12:54] <SeanTater> josh_: That's unusual
[12:54] <SeanTater> josh_: ac3 is no issue
[12:54] <josh_>  Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo
[12:54] <secher> can anyone help get my Media keys to work? Its the only way i can eject my dvd drive (on a laptop)
[12:54] <SeanTater> josh_: mp2 is usually no problem either
[12:54] <rkpisanu> hi
[12:55] <imhotep_> hi josh i can help you
[12:55] <SeanTater> josh_: have you tried mapping one out?
[12:55] <rkpisanu> i have a problem with installation of ubuntu 7.10
[12:55] <kanzie> jrib: ah, so I have to go back to compiz-fusion
[12:55] <josh_> I have another, but much older machine, with an older copy of ubuntu that works fine with these formats
[12:55] <jrib> secher: can you right click on the cd-rom icon and select "eject"?
[12:55] <jrib> kanzie: or use brightside
[12:55] <rkpisanu> anyone help me ?

[12:56] <Shapeshifta> My OpenOffice crashes at nearly every opening of a dialog (e.g. print, table properties, export...) I tried reinstalling and it works if I _don't_ use the openoffice.org-gnome package, but if I use gnome integration it crashes. What should I do?
[12:56] <rkpisanu> ok
[12:56] <secher> jrib, yes but its annoyong to eject it like that every time.. I want a button that eject it.. and there is one, among my media keys
[12:56] <SeanTater> josh_: does it give you any helpful information?
[12:56] <rkpisanu> the question is: when the cd ubuntu 7.10 start, it appear initfsram
[12:57] <kanzie> jrib: never heard of it... is it stable
[12:57] <jrib> secher: go to system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts  and see if you can set eject te that key
[12:57] <rkpisanu> dont start
[12:57] <josh_> SeanTater: what do you mean 'mapping one out'?
[12:57] <secher> jrib, cant assign the media keys using that..
[12:57] <jrib> kanzie: worked fine when I tried it.  It is your option if you do not want to use compiz-fusion
[12:57] <jrib> secher: what exactly happens when you try?
[12:58] <Andycasss> Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong?
[12:58] <huffdah> got a heck of a problem with ubuntu.... it starts  get login everything appears normal and  then it freezez.... cannot do anything than  reboot the hard way
[12:58] <SeanTater> josh_: use something like -map 0.1:1.0  on ffmpeg and make the second output file /dev/null .. or anything to get to one audio track
[12:58] <secher> jrib, nothing at all, i assign a new key for it but when i click the key i want to eject with nothing happens
[12:58] <jrib> secher: read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys then
[12:59] <tiddi> how come that it takes over an hour for Amarok to scan a 500gb collection ?

[12:59] <tiddi> anyone have an idea?
[12:59] <SeanTater> huffdah: Are you trying to login as root?
[12:59] <huffdah> no just as user .. i dont use root
[12:59] <Wespe> hi, i once set my http_proxy variable.... now how can i set it back to default (i guess it's '')? when i use unset http_proxy and open a new shell then it is set back again
[12:59] <SeanTater> tiddi: I don't think Amarok is made for a collection that size, but they are working on it I believe
[12:59] <huffdah> you can disable that thing

[13:00] <jrib> Wespe: how did you set it?
[13:00] <n3tfury> tiddi: try setting it up with mysql. it's alot in my experience.
[13:00] <Gatestone> Especially, how do I list package sizes of all installed packages?
[13:00] <tiddi> im using mysql
[13:00] <SeanTater> huffdah: can you login in the CLI (by pressing CTRL-ALT-F5) (you can get back to GUI by CTRL-ALT-F7)
[13:00] <tiddi> not the sqllite
[13:00] <Wespe> jrib, i think with set and/or export, altough i am not quite sure
[13:01] <jrib> Wespe: if that is what you did then all you need to do is open a new terminal
[13:01] <n3tfury> tiddi: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_HowTo
[13:01] <tiddi> pray to god that some genious finds out of something that makes amarok faster in scanning
[13:01] <huffdah> i can get Ubuntu startexd and login as normal but the  comp freezes
[13:01] <SeanTater> tiddi: how many files does that come to (as 5000 at a time is about as good as they get I think)
[13:01] <Wespe> jrib, when i open a new terminal then the variable is set....
[13:01] <gordonjcp> tiddi: it's a difficult problem
[13:02] <gordonjcp> tiddi: how would *you* make it faster?
[13:02] <tiddi> how many files there are in 500gb collection?
[13:02] <jrib> Wespe: then you need to find out how it is getting set.  Did you edit any files?
[13:02] <nazarie> Has anyone else had a problem with Evolution core dumping while trying to retrieve mail via IMAP with gmail?
[13:02] <SeanTater> tiddi: approximately

[13:03] <jrib> Wespe: or did you use the system -> preferences -> network proxy ?
[13:03] <n3tfury> an hour for half a terabyte is not extreme
[13:03] <Wespe> jrib, i am really not sure.... but if so then there has to be file with the content 'http_proxy' in my home folder?
[13:03] <SeanTater> tiddi: I use mpd because it's usually more stable, and I think it will do 35,000+ tracks

[13:11] <Andycasss> I had to add netbios name and such settings myself, they werent there
[13:11] <nashu> bulmer : FSTAB is ok only it doesnt contain the new usb key. I used to have an automation that put a new drive icon on the desktop and I had that aplet for the panel that said whent it was mounted, now it appears in the mounter aplet as "unmounted" and it <

[13:11] <burwaco> hello everyone, I just installed gutsy, is it normal that firestarter firewall isn't installed ?
[13:11] <lousygarua> Pici, ok hmm
[13:11] <Pici> burwaco: yes.
[13:12] <Cheetah> hey folks
[13:12] <jube> !grub
[13:12] <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
[13:12] <Pici> burwaco: Firestarter is just a frontend to the firewall, iptables is installed.
[13:12] <burwaco> Pici: hello, nice to see you again... firestarter isn't standard ?
[13:12] <nashu> bulmer : and it can be mounted only as root
[13:12] <Cheetah> I'm developing an app with Qt4 and I was wondering if there is an easy way to generate .deb packages from those projects (the problem is that we don't have a configure script there)
[13:12] <Pici> burwaco: No. Its not, no firewall frontends are install by default. The firewall itself (iptables) is installed.
[13:12] <rkpisanu> my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt. what's means ?
[13:12] <tiddi> diskspace used 450gb 91956 mp3 files
[13:13] <voltel> would someone know if theres a way to automatically place certain programs when loaded into the icewm tray instead of the regular taskbar?
[13:13] <StFS> Hi. I'm having problems... I'm trying to get an installation of Feisty to play mp3s but I can't install the package libxine-extracodecs because a package it depend on can't be found (libxine1-ffmpeg)
[13:13] <tiddi> so it isnt the smallest amount for Amarok to read i admit.
[13:13] <Chousuke> Cheetah: .debs don't really need ./configure (though it helps)... all you need is a proper debian/ directory
[13:13] <Chousuke> Cheetah: read the packaging manual on debian.org
[13:13] <flith1> hey everyone... is sub pixel hinting turned on by default with 7.10?
[13:14] <Cheetah> Chousuke, that's what I'm trying to do the past hours ;)
[13:14]  * genii sips a coffee
[13:14] <rkpisanu> my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt when it load ubuntu 7.10 cd desktop. what's means ?
[13:14] <g[r]eek> Not sure why I am getting this when I try start proftpd: ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration.
[13:14] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:14] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:15] <Chousuke> Cheetah: there's no real "easy way out" if you want to do it properly :)
[13:15] <oficina> hello
[13:15] <oficina> is there a ubuntu brazilian room?

[13:15] <Chousuke> Cheetah: then again, once you've got the sources debianised, keeping it up-to-date with future versions should be simple

[13:16] <Pici> lousygarua: ah, good.
[13:16] <Cheetah> Chousuke, yeah, thanks, I'll go the hard way then ;)

[13:19] <burwaco> someone say my name pls...
[13:19] <gordonjcp> oficina: try adding "-o nls=utf8"
[13:19] <oficina> thanks gordonjcp  I will try it now
[13:21] <nnila> my wireless keeps disconnecting
[13:21] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:21] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:21] <nnila> it works fine under XP but in Ubuntu it keeps disconnecting me and I'm having to reboot to get it back
[13:21] <burwaco> I was wondering, if I customize my kernel, when ubuntu updates the kernel later, do I have to customize it again, or does the update use my configfile ?
[13:21] <hairulfr> Anyone know a lot about compiz (or what they call it now). I want to set custom transparency for various stuff, like I could with BERYL.. Thanks
[13:22] <nnila> hairulfr,  - install the manager app
[13:22] <nnila> lets you control all the settings
[13:22] <Andycasss> Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? My samba configuration : http://pastebin.com/m34032616
[13:22] <delire> hi. a basic question that was answered here earlier seconds before my battery died: how do i restore the Ubuntu 7.10 default panel, with all the icons and menus in place just as they were on install?
[13:23] <delire> i've deleted the ~/.gnome-* panel related directories and dot-files, but to no avail.
[13:23] <hairulfr> nnila: Sure? I Already did,  compiz-settings.-control-mamanger...? Can't see anyon of the custom transparancy, for panels and drop down menus, I want it to save my setting from boot to boot
[13:24] <marcelino> After a power outage I get a "error 25: Disk read error". No CDrom, No floppy. I can't boot the normal kernel but recovery mode does give me a prompt. Does anyone know if I can restore the NORMAL kernel from there?
[13:24] <ikonia> marcelino what happens when you try to boot the normal kernel
[13:25] <marcelino> Error 25: Disk read error
[13:25] <marcelino> Right after "savedefault"
[13:25] <ikonia> marcelino where do you reboot the revoery mode from - Grub or the livecd ?
[13:25] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  If you open the settings manager, click on general options, there's a tab that says opacity settings.  In there, there is a box where you put in what you want transparent and what opacity setting to use...
[13:25] <ikonia> marcelino: have you looked at your menu.lst to see if everything is the same for the core and recovery boot options
[13:25] <marcelino> Grub, it's a headless server with no CDrom or floppy. Grub still works!
[13:26] <principe> #ubuntu-br
[13:27] <amigrave> how can I manually re-load the partition table so the system can be aware of changes ?
[13:27] <ikonia> amigrave you can't
[13:27] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Cool, how do i "probe" a window for it's name? Old compiz did that by click,, but need proper name for panels, menus etc
[13:27] <boontoo> !paste
[13:27] <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)
[13:27] <marcelino> menu.lst ... there are 4 options, I don't think anything has changed. There are 4 options apart from mtest. Only the recovery modes give me a prompt.
[13:27] <ikonia> amigrave if your modifying a disk that is in use you'll have to unmount all partitions
[13:27] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  also, there is a channel called #compiz-fusion....check there for help too...
[13:27] <ikonia> marcelino look at the differences
[13:27] <amigrave> ikonia: but I guess fdisk does that at the end, when you write the changes
[13:27] <hairulfr> :)
[13:28] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Thanks,
[13:28] <burwaco> question, If I customize my kernel with this guide, do I have to recompile the kernel every time ubuntu updates the kernel ?
[13:28] <marcelino> sorry, the differences between what do you mean?
[13:28] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  d'oh..i knew you were going to ask that...i can't remember how to probe them though.....lemme fumble through the forums....
[13:28] <ikonia> amigrave no - it writes the changes but the OS won't see it on an "in use" disk until a reboot so the disk is unmounted
[13:28] <amigrave> ikonia: the disk that has been changed is not my system disk (it's a CF card)
[13:28] <burwaco> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/
[13:28] <ikonia> burwaco no you won't but you may have to if ubuntu updates things that depends on the kernel
[13:28] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Haha, Cheers man :)
[13:28] <ikonia> amigrave then unplug it and replug it so it re-reads tha partition table
[13:29] <Chams> hey.. I'm having some trouble, I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse
[13:29] <burwaco> ikonia: like what ? like an ati driver for example ?
[13:29] <amigrave> ikonia: hum ..... I don't know what to say :)
[13:29] <Andycasss> Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? My samba configuration : http://pastebin.com/m34032616
[13:29] <ikonia> burwaco thats a good example
[13:29] <MarcC> anybody know how I lost a processor core during the Gutsy upgrade, and how to fix it?!
[13:30] <Chams> it ran xp fine for three years, so it should be good enough for ubuntu.. any ideas?
[13:30] <amigrave> ikonia: I'm too deep in my stupidities and I even didn't tought about that ;-) I'm formating a CF card in an amiga emulator :)
[13:30] <JustinAllen> hairulfr:  here ya go....http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1768&highlight=opacity+setting
[13:30] <burwaco> ikonia: so, if I want things to stay easy to update it's better not to customize kernel ?
[13:30] <]Spectre[> I/join #java
[13:30] <ikonia> MarcC you've lost a core - is your kernel still showing up as smp
[13:30] <hairulfr> JustinAllen: Thanks a bunch man :)
[13:30] <]Spectre[> ops
[13:30] <Yancho> How can I install a file which is install.sh please? I tried ./install.sh but it is not working .. giving me permission denied but I am logged as root
[13:30] <JustinAllen> hairulfr: anytime!
[13:31] <ikonia> burwaco only customise the kernel if you REALLY have to or you REALY understand what your doing. the ubuntu team put a lot of effort into the kernel, and their collective effort will no doubt be more aware than your knowledge
[13:31] <Chams> anyone?
[13:31] <ikonia> Yancho its not marked as executable - chmod it
[13:31] <oficina> GUHH, the option you gave me "-o nls=utf8", did not worked
[13:31] <ikonia> Chams what ?
[13:31] <delire> Yancho: chmod +x file.sh
[13:31] <Yancho> ikonia it is on a cd :S
[13:31] <delire> Yancho: then ./file.sh
[13:31] <ikonia> Yancho then copy it
[13:31] <Chams> I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse
[13:31] <boontoo> do i have any packages that are missing? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42897/
[13:31] <lardarse> Yancho: copy the files to the hard drive first?
[13:32] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[13:32] <JustinAllen> as?
[13:32] <lardarse> Chams: how is the mouse connected?
[13:32] <Chams> usb
[13:32] <genii> Chams: Does it have more than 256Mb ram?
[13:32] <lardarse> hmm...
[13:32] <Chams> it has 256mb
[13:32] <lardarse> 256 might not be enough for ubuntu
[13:32] <ikonia> JustinAllen never used nikons, but try opening nautulis and seeing if you can see the camera as a "device"
[13:32] <Chams> hmm
[13:32] <Chams> darn
[13:32] <lardarse> and despite what peopel say, it's not enough for XP either
[13:33] <ikonia> Chams how fast is the processor
[13:33] <Chams> haha, I know, but still it ran xp for three years :)
[13:33] <burwaco> ikonia: good point... I'm on a laptop ant just wanted to throw out some stuff I don't need, like hamradio... I installed this system last night, it's completely fresh and I'd like to do things like kernel customisation first (if I screw up I can just reinstall)
[13:33] <primski> Chams, install off the alternate cd, it will run faster once installed. livecds are a byatch for low end machines
[13:33] <Chams> amd sempron 2200
[13:33] <genii> 256 is marginal amount for running the livecd decently... after install it's more than enough
[13:33] <Chams> genii: ahh, thought so
[13:33] <genii> chams: Yes xp ran fine but did you ever run XP from a livecd? ;)
[13:33] <ikonia> burwaco why throw it out  its not being loaded unless you modprobe it, so its not taking any resources
[13:33] <Chams> primski; ait, I'll try that
[13:33] <Chams> hehe, nope :)
[13:33] <Chams> 'so live cds require more?
[13:34] <JustinAllen> ikonia:  no dice...when i open nautilus with camera in p2p setting, nothing shows up.  If i open nautilus with the camera in mass storage setting, an icon pops up but disappears instantly
[13:34] <primski> XP Live CD? have i missed something ?P :
[13:34] <Chams> I'll test the alternative cd, thakns guys
[13:34] <primski> Chams, yea, it runs whole system from memory, ofc its slow
[13:34] <Chams> ahh, okay
[13:34] <snsone> having problems surfing the net.it's very slow and ipv6 is disabled.also the dns are resteing after 10 min so i have to setup them again every 10 min.what can i do?
[13:34] <Chams> ofcourse :)
[13:34] <primski> :)
[13:34] <Chams> hey again, thanks
[13:35] <s00p> morning
[13:35] <primski> np, good luck
[13:35] <ikonia> snsone fix dhcp
[13:35] <burwaco> ikonia: ok, you win... no kernel hacking for me... what else can I customize before I start bloating my system with dirty files ? :-)
[13:35] <snsone> it's a static ip configuration
[13:35] <ikonia> burwaco why do you need to customise anything ?
[13:35] <genii> Chams: I needed to install 7.04 from alternate since this box has only 128Mb ...after it ran fine however
[13:35] <frederick85> Help my computer screen tells me this and i'm not sure what to do http://rafb.net/p/T1UWng56.html
[13:35] <ikonia> snsone then what are you talking about dns servers being reset ?
[13:36] <Chams> great! I get nice speed, 25 mins left of the alt cd :)
[13:36] <burwaco> ikonia: because I'm bored controlfreak ?
[13:36] <ikonia> frederick85: don't troll !
[13:36] <snsone> the nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf
[13:36] <Lunks> Is it just me or Ubuntu Forums is locking up Firefox?
[13:36] <ikonia> burwaco your a rubbish control freak if you don't know what to tweak
[13:36] <snsone> im running ubuntu gutsy
[13:36] <ikonia> snsone then its not a static DNS configuration - so you need to fix dhcp
[13:36] <ikonia> snsone so ?
[13:37] <ikonia> burwaco the default ubuntu install is fine, change things when you find things you don't like
[13:37] <ikonia> not just for the sake of it
[13:37] <boontoo> hello i cant get my sound to work any ideas?
[13:37] <delire> ikonia: bah, let him do as he likes. tweaking can be fun for it's own sake - a way of learning.
[13:37] <Yancho> Linking /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init to /etc/init.d/ls.init ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init' to `/etc/init.d/ls.init': No such file or directory <- is this the result of trying to install a RedHat Application on Ubuntu?
[13:38] <ikonia> delire I said he tweak what he wants but asking "what do I tweak" is pointless - what do you tweak for what ???
[13:38] <delire> ikonia: break things, fix them badly et al.
[13:38] <delire> ikonia: it is a strange question, i agree, but there's no need to be harsh.
[13:38] <burwaco> ikonia: ok, true, I have the ati driver from the repos running now, and it doesn't seem to support compiz, is there a guide for gutsy already ? I'd like to get compiz running...
[13:38] <ikonia> delire do'nt tell me - I know what I change
[13:38] <ikonia> burwaco compiz is already installed in gusty
[13:38] <ikonia> delire I'm not being harsh
[13:39] <boontoo> anyone?
[13:39] <snsone> well my network conf is something like this:
[13:39] <boontoo> sound not working ~ ubuntu HDA INTEL~
[13:39] <snsone> ip: 81.196...
[13:39] <snsone> subnet:255.255....

[13:39] <snsone> dns1:193.231.236.25
[13:39] <snsone> dns2:193.231.236.30
[13:39] <snsone> those two keep reseting to 192.168.1.248
[13:39] <delire> snsone: don't flood here.
[13:39] <Pici> !paste | snsone
[13:39] <ubotu> snsone: 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)
[13:39] <ikonia> snsone dhcp is overriding it every X minutes when it polls
[13:40] <delire> snsone: you can pass dhclient an option to not ask for a new address so often.
[13:40] <snsone> sorry didnt mean to flood..i was used to ctrl+enter in old yahoo
[13:40] <ikonia> delire or disable dhcp as he's using a static config
[13:40] <delire> yes, if that's more convenient.
[13:41] <Pici> !intelhda | boontoo
[13:41] <ubotu> boontoo: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[13:41] <boontoo> ty Pici
[13:41] <snsone> how can i do that?im kinda noobish
[13:41] <delire> snsone: if you're using gnome, you can use the network-manager to disable DHCP altogether.
[13:41] <ikonia> snsone /etc/init.d/dhcp stop
[13:41] <burwaco> ikonia: When I try to enable visual efects in appearance I get "The composite extention is not available"...
[13:41] <Nashu_> hello ikonia
[13:41] <ikonia> burwaco have you looked if your card is compatible and if so with what drivers
[13:42] <Nashu_> got another tough one for you
[13:42] <delire> snsone: if you'd rather use a GUI, right-click on the network icon in the top panel.
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ another one ?
[13:42] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  if you open up System>Preferences>Appearance...there should be a tab that says Visual Effects
[13:42] <Nashu_> problem :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ I don't think I've spoke to you before
[13:42] <burwaco> ikonia: where can I look for that ?
[13:42] <delire> choose, 'manual configure' and disable DHCP in htere.
[13:42] <ikonia> !ati >burwaco
[13:42] <cyne> hi all
[13:42] <Nashu_> yes , you did and where very helpful
[13:42] <ikonia> burwaco check out that link from ubotu
[13:42] <snsone> well
[13:42] <cyne> this deskbar applet is great :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Nashu_ thats nice to hear, ask your question
[13:42] <snsone> it is disabled already on one card
[13:42] <burwaco> JustinAllen: yes I have that tab open
[13:43] <burwaco> !ati
[13:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[13:43] <cyne> how do i make the deskbar applet have an input field in my bar
[13:43] <snsone> and on the other which i dont use its on roaming mode
[13:43] <cyne> ?
[13:43] <burwaco> ikonia: you want me to install driver from ati.com ?
[13:43] <delire> snsone: so you're using your computer as a router?
[13:43] <Nashu_> my usb ports are no longer reacting normal, I plug my usb but it does not completely mount the device, it apears in the mounter uplet as unmounted
[13:43] <ikonia> burwaco no - I want you to read the link I sent you and see if your card is support and if so by what drivers
[13:43] <cyne> burwaco: read the page man
[13:43] <Bokeh> g[r]eek: still here?
[13:44] <Nashu_> and it mounts only if I sudo mount /dev/sdaX
[13:44] <ikonia> Nashu_ what device is it
[13:44] <snsone> yes it was
[13:44] <delire> snsone: right. do you still want to use it as a router?
[13:44] <burwaco> ikonia: I got beryl running a few months ago, with the driver from ati.com and xgl...
[13:44] <snsone> now i can't do nothing with the slow connection and dns reseting
[13:44] <Nashu_> before it was allways putting a incon with the new usb device on the desktop and mounting all automatic
[13:44] <ikonia> burwaco your using different drivers on gusty
[13:44] <OxxY> hey, is there a list somewhere of the drivers included with the latest ubuntu? Planning on building a NAT and wanted to make my life easy by choosing a raid controller and graphic card already supported :)
[13:44] <ikonia> burwaco as I said READ what I sent you
[13:44] <Nashu_> USB Kingston
[13:45] <burwaco> ikonia: I'm on it, thx
[13:45] <Nashu_> USB Passport 250 GB external hdd
[13:45] <OxxY> *NAS
[13:45] <Nashu_> all usb behaving the same
[13:45] <snsone> yes :D
[13:45] <ikonia> Nashu_ so hotplug is creating the device but gnome isn't autmounting it through d-bus ?
[13:45] <snsone> i want
[13:45] <delire> snsone: right, well just disable the DHCP for the card to which the IP and DNS are being reset.
[13:46] <JustinAllen> burwaco: what do you get when you try and enable visual effects?
[13:46] <delire> set up both devices with static addressing.
[13:46] <snsone> only the 2 dns are being reset
[13:46] <Nashu_> ikonia : I think so... if I go to a term and sudo mount /dev/sdaX  /staroga for example, it works
[13:46] <stianiquniez> hello. can somebody help me whit a internet problem whit my ubuntu ? it was working yesterday, and now it dont, but on windows in vmware its working, someone who know what the problem can be ?
[13:46] <snsone> the ip remains static to 81.196.bla
[13:46] <delire> snsone: are you NAT'ted?
[13:46] <Nashu_> ikonia : but I can access the device only If I am root
[13:46] <ikonia> Nashu_ this may sound simple, but have you rebooted scince this is happening ?
[13:46]  * ffjia is back.
[13:46] <snsone> so im guessing its disabled
[13:46] <tryggvib> Just for fun. I stumbled upon this site... nice logo :D http://www.agile2008.org/index.html
[13:47] <Nashu_> ikoni : yes several times
[13:47] <ikonia> Nashu_ and it still behaves the same
[13:47] <Ubuntu_Noob> can someone help me how can i update the rfb protocol of vnc
[13:47] <Woifi1988> hi!
[13:47] <ikonia> Nashu_ what you can try if you want is zero the syslog - tail the syslog and then plug in the device and see what is logged
[13:48] <Woifi1988> is any ubuntu version available for embedded pc or especialy for alix boards?
[13:48] <Nashu_> ikonia : ues, the same on my user , BUT, if I boot on rescue option, and than as root startX , all is ok on gnome
[13:48] <Nashu_> *ues = yes
[13:48] <ikonia> Nashu_: try tailin ghte log and lugging the drvice in
[13:48] <arcticblue> so, what happened to XV on Nvidia cards?
[13:48] <ikonia> arcticblue XV ?
[13:49] <arcticblue> XV video playback
[13:49] <ikonia> ahhh
[13:49] <arcticblue> VLC and Mplayer use this as the default
[13:49] <arcticblue> all i get is green blocks
[13:49] <Nashu_> ikonia : ok will do that when I go to school, now I'm on windows home :)
[13:49] <ikonia> are youhaving a problem
[13:49] <Beererde> hi. is there a good kernel update howto? i tried everything but no success. i have  2.6.15-28-amd64 and need at least 2.6.21
[13:49] <jano_> hi.. I want to upgrade to gutsy but there is no message like it says on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[13:49] <arcticblue> this makes using mythtv near impossible
[13:49] <ikonia> Nashu_ thats fine, I'll probably still be around, give me a nudge when you want to walk it through
[13:50] <snsone> well?
[13:50] <cyne> how do i get the input field instead of the button for the deskbar applet?
[13:50] <arcticblue> this is on a clean install too
[13:50] <delire> arcticblue: are you using Compiz?
[13:50] <arcticblue> no
[13:50] <Pici> cyne: You dont. It was removed in the Gutsy version (I'd like it back too)
[13:50] <delire> arcticblue: XV can be enabled in xorg.conf, though the xorg config application in 7.10 may support this option also.
[13:50] <cyne> Pici oh i see, well i suppose you would have to click up there anyway
[13:51] <arcticblue> so the default behavior is to disable XV support which many multimedia apps use?
[13:51] <Pici> cyne: Aparrently it was 'an ugly hack'. I think its blueprinted to be back in for the next version of Gnome
[13:51] <delire> arcticblue: i don't think so. you may have manipulated your xorg.conf however.
[13:52] <cyne> Pici.. ok cool
[13:52] <delire> arcticblue: if not, then i would consider looking at the video overlay and opengl overlay options. they are toggles.
[13:52] <arcticblue> haven't touched it.  like i said, it's a clean install.  just finished installing about an hour ago
[13:52] <jano_> !upgrade
[13:52] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[13:53] <delire> arcticblue: right, odd. have you tried passing mplayer alternative output flags to see if the problem is more general?
[13:53] <burwaco> JustinAllen: : When I try to enable visual efects in appearance I get "The composite extention is not available"...
[13:53] <arcticblue> i can watch videos using the X11 output module
[13:53] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  have you installed xserver-xgl through apt-get or synaptics yet?
[13:53] <freak124> I've already had ubuntu on my pc, but I had throw it of and I'm trying to reïnstall. Everything goes just fine, untill I have to use the partition manager in the installation program. Apereantly I have no partition table. This sure is strange, because I can see all my partitions in nautilus. I've asked for help on this and people told me to get the alternative cd, but in my opinion, this is merely fighting the symptoms instead of the problem.
[13:53] <delire> arcticblue: can you look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if the option VideoOverlay is set to On?

[13:55] <JustinAllen> burwaco:  ok..for me..i had to use the restricted drivers and then after that, reboot, then install xserver-xgl via apt-get and then reboot...and then install the settings manager..and that was it...
[13:55] <Radio1> I think everyone should send a little gift to ubuntu for what they have provided for us.
[13:55] <dannyboy2087> has anybody had any problems with sound in gutsy
[13:55] <dannyboy2087> ?

[13:55] <Javid> how can I get tablet input working in gutsy?
[13:55] <delire> arcticblue: which card and driver combination are you running?
[13:55] <arcticblue> it's an on-board 6100.  I'm using the restricted drivers
[13:56] <genii> Pici: Nice, i didn't know about !cfbl

[13:56] <Lunks> while trying some stuff on ubuntu, i got an error:
[13:56] <Flynsarmy> dannyboy2087: I did until i did a sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic. Fixed it right up
[13:56] <Lunks> XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
[13:56] <burwaco> Pici: hmm, does that mean I have no chance ?
[13:56] <delire> arcticblue: right. well at this stage i'd search around to see if NVIDIA fully supports xv output with that card.
[13:56] <Lunks> what's this?
[13:57] <Javid> how can I get tablet input working in gutsy?
[13:57] <jano_> how can I upgrade if my upgrade manager doesn´t show "New distribution release is available"
[13:57] <delire> arcticblue: stranger ommissions have occurred.
[13:57] <Pici> burwaco: The link there provides information about unblacklisting your card, but it may not work perfectly.
[13:57] <genii> !wacom
[13:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:57] <dannyboy2087> what happens is that my sound is install and everything but its as if it was on mute....and the volumes are all all the wa up

[13:57] <JustinAllen> burwaco: the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
[13:59] <Javid> The stupid tablet works in windows, this can't be that difficult
[13:59] <freak124> I've already had ubuntu on my pc, but I had throw it of and I'm trying to reïnstall. Everything goes just fine, untill I have to use the partition manager in the installation program. Apereantly I have no partition table. This sure is strange, because I can see all my partitions in nautilus. I've asked for help on this and people told me to get the alternative cd, but in my opinion, this is merely fighting the symptoms instead of the problem.
[13:59] <genii> Javid: Is it a drawing tablet like for CAD or such, or a touchpad
[13:59] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy does this require a restart after the installation?
[13:59] <Javid> a tablet, with the pen
[13:59] <Javid> on a tablet PC
[13:59] <Flynsarmy> dannyboy2087: Yes
[13:59] <Javid> which is my only input device
[13:59] <Javid> you can imagine the difficulties this presents
[14:00] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy its installing right now....
[14:00] <genii> !synaptics | javid
[14:00] <ubotu> javid: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[14:00] <Javid> it is not a touchpad
[14:00] <Javid> I just said that
[14:00] <genii> Yes, it is
[14:00] <Yancho> Anyone know how I cann install an application which is designed for RedHat on Ubuntu pls?
[14:00] <Javid> it is a wacom produce, not a frigging touchpad
[14:01] <burwaco> JustinAllen: what's the name of the settingsmanager, can yo uget it trough apt ?
[14:01] <dannyboy2087> Flynsarmy its installed...im going 2 restart now...anythings else i gotta do after i boot up?
[14:01] <riderrr> is there any way to download, install, and run ie without having windows on my machine
[14:01] <riderrr> ?
[14:01] <Pici> !alien | Yancho
[14:01] <ubotu> Yancho: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[14:01] <genii> !info wacom-tools
[14:01] <ubotu> wacom-tools: utilities for wacom tablets and other hid devices. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 51 kB, installed size 192 kB
[14:02] <Javid> I installed that
[14:02] <coldboot> I know Redhat sucks and all, but I have to use it for work, does anyone know the Redhat equivalent for "apt-file search"?
[14:02] <Javid> first thing I did, apt-cache search wacom
[14:02] <joshuah> i got wine but it dont' seem too be working when i click it i'm using freespire any suggestions?
[14:02] <JustinAllen> burwaco: yeah...hang on....i'll tell you
[14:02] <genii> Javid: After wacom-tools see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151  old but still apllicable
[14:03] <Andycasss> Hmm, i cannot change my linux shares folder names
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> joshuah: right click> open with wine
[14:03] <BenEss> Hey, I just downloaded Ubuntu and I noticed it now comes with closed source drivers. What's up with that? Isn't this illegal? What stops the transition to a model where companies like Microsoft produce a non free Linux distribution with widely supported hardware by charging for the "drivers included", "hardware supported" distro and leaving an unpopular free GPL version that doesn't work on most hardware? Isn't tha
[14:03] <BenEss> t like stealing code from the people who made the GPL core?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> ?
[14:03] <Andycasss> But i can create files
[14:03] <Pici> Javid: fyi, there is currently a bug that wacom tablets do not work properly with XGL
[14:03] <pike_> coldboot: may want to /join #fedora and ask how to do that with yum
[14:03] <Yancho> Pici what is this package pls?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: those drivers are from the maker of the card
[14:03] <Javid> pici, is xgl what gutsy comes with by default?
[14:03] <twoshadetod> whats a good raiden clone for ubuntu?
[14:03] <Cyber_Stalker> afaik
[14:03] <twoshadetod> game i mean
[14:04] <JustinAllen> burwaco: compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:04] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: thats why they are private because the card manufacturer wont let you mod there binarys
[14:04] <Pici> Javid: no, Its only used if you use composite desktop with an ATI card.
[14:04] <Cyber_Stalker> afaik
[14:04] <Javid> Pici, thanks, that doesn't affect my setup any, fortunately
[14:05] <BenEss> yeah but, even today I need to pay to get a fully working Linux without the source, from the likes of Mandriva.
[14:05] <burwaco> JustinAllen: thx
[14:05] <JustinAllen> burwaco: np
[14:05] <Cyber_Stalker> BenEss: your not paying for those drivers
[14:05] <Cyber_Stalker> ?
[14:05] <BenEss> I would expect legal contortionst from commercial vendors, but in ubuntu?
[14:05] <Pici> !offtopic | BenEss
[14:05] <ubotu> BenEss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:06] <Cyber_Stalker> they are supplied by the manufacturer, but locked because they arnt 100% supported/u cant interefere with them
[14:06] <BenEss> Well I'm paying for the package which includes the drivers.
[14:06] <MrEgg964> hi all, how do I mount --bind in fstab ?
[14:06] <Nashu> _lucretia_ : ajuti sau cauti ajutor?
[14:06] <BenEss> okay I stop it seems I<m offtopic
[14:06] <Pici> BenEss: You can continue in #ubuntu-offtopic, just not here.
[14:07] <riderrr> is there any way to download, install, and run ie without having windows on my machine?

[14:07] <Cyber_Stalker> riderrr: no, get over it
[14:07] <Cyber_Stalker> lol
[14:08] <pike_> riderrr: itll even put an ie icon on your destkop ;p
[14:08] <Vlet> riderrr: there are various how-to's on the web on how to run IE through wine
[14:08] <riderrr> ty
[14:08] <dahitokiri> in LDD3 it says that i have to have the complete kernel sources and link against them when making device drivers but in ubuntu's package manager it says "If you are simply trying to build third-party modules for your kernel, you do not want this package. Install the appropriate linux-headers package instead." so which one is true?
[14:08] <pike_> riderrr: all you should have to do is apt-get install wine then run that script
[14:09] <Gatestone> OK, I managed to list all installed packages in size order. Ugly as hell with aptitude show, awk, sed, grep and sort.

[14:12] <gotdalife> hehe
[14:12] <bulmer> snsone-> what do you have? can you elaborate your network layout?
[14:12] <s00p> we standardize on dell 1950s and have a custom build for it. but it occasionally panics after install. and a reinstall fixes it.
[14:13] <snsone> ive said this before:i disabled ipv6 and the internet is still slow and my 2 dns are reseting every 10 min
[14:13] <snsone> i have 2 eth's
[14:13] <Gatestone> To list all installed packages you can do: aptitude show '~n.*' | awk -f fix | grep 'State: installed' | sed 's/: /:/g' | sort -t: -n -k4 | more
[14:13] <Yancho> Anyone knows where does WINE install by default pls?
[14:13] <donner>  hey

[14:17] <SpikePT> can i create a ntfs partition with gparted live cd? no need to instal gparted?
[14:17] <Yancho> Anyone knows where does WINE install by default pls?
[14:17] <Pici> SpikePT: Sure, thats the best way.
[14:17] <Pici> Yancho: Wine installs all over the place, what particular part of it are you looking for?
[14:18] <snsone> anyone?
[14:18] <Fossilet> HI.

[14:19] <rdz> hi all. for some reason, when pressing [dollar], i get a 'p' instead.. i had this once before, but rebooting helped... however, i would like to find the source of the problem...
[14:20] <Javid> fuck this. at least windows worked.
[14:20] <Pici> Javid: Watch the language.
[14:20] <tonyyarusso> ~ohmy | Javid
[14:20] <Fossilet> kl4m, how does it do?
[14:20] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders????
[14:20] <Fossilet> then
[14:21] <Norrel> wrong filesystem probably
[14:21] <burwaco> JustinAllen: I installed xserver-xgl and rebooted, did you have to change something in xorg.conf before xgl worked ?
[14:21] <dahitokiri> anyone?

[14:22] <s00p> Javid: windows is a piece of crap!
[14:22] <JustinAllen> burwaco: nope..it just started working for me....
[14:22] <Javid> s00p: so is ubuntu's tablet PC support
[14:22] <MrEgg964> Hi all, how can I mount a Directory in fstab, if the Directory contains a space in its name ?
[14:23] <burwaco> JustinAllen: how do you knwo it's working, do you have acommand that says something about xgl ?
[14:23] <SpikePT> whats website of wine so i can see the supported apps/games?
[14:23] <Pici> MrEgg964: Escape the space with a backslash or possible enclose the whole thing in double quotes
[14:23] <neopsyche> Hi.. i tried to install ies4linux but it doesnt make the icons in bin on home folder?
[14:23] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders????
[14:23] <Javid> SpikePT, winehq.org
[14:23] <JustinAllen> burwaco: no...when i instlled it, i just went in and tried to enable visual effects and it worked....
[14:23] <burwaco> JustinAllen: k
[14:24] <Pici> burwaco: did you follow the unblacklist procedure in the link from ubotu?
[14:24] <MrEgg964> Pici: the quotes do work perfectly from terminal, but not in fstab
[14:24] <maniaxmax> Should I uses Cedega or wine for gaming?
[14:24] <burwaco> Pici: not yet, but it seems to work without it, I took note of your link...
[14:24] <Pici> MrEgg964: Did you try escaping with a backslash? that usually works for me
[14:25] <burwaco> JustinAllen: Pici, it's working over here...
[14:25] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders???? I can create a folder in my HOME share, but not in media. Both share paths are configured exacly the same in smba.conf
[14:25] <burwaco> it seems to be at least...
[14:25] <MrEgg964> no, not yet;  what do you mean by 'escaping' w/ a \ ?
[14:25] <SpikePT> If I copy the contents of the gParted Live CD ISO to a USB Drive, will it work to boot?
[14:25] <JustinAllen> burwaco: good :)
[14:26] <Pici> MrEgg964: like: /path/to/directory\ with\ spaces/
[14:26] <burwaco> JustinAllen: yes, wobbly windows, no cube yet ...
[14:26] <maniaxmax> Can anyone tell me, should I use cedega or wine for gaming?
[14:26] <MrEgg964> Pici: ok, got it, i'll try that. ty
[14:26] <s00p> Javid: Well I would rather use a stone tablet and a chisel than to fight with Windows everyday.
[14:26] <Javid-> at least the thing boots now...
[14:26] <Pici> maniaxmax: Cedega is commercial
[14:26] <neopsyche> Hi.. i tried to install ies4linux but it doesnt make the icons in bin on home folder?
[14:27] <kl4m> Fossilet:I always just did right-click on the iso and "open with file-roller"
[14:27] <maniaxmax> pici: well...does it have any advantages? or does it work the same?
[14:27] <neopsyche> IE 7 is realeased for mac osx right?  Does this mean there will be a version for linux?
[14:27] <chi11y> no
[14:27] <blueser> hi. dumb question: I am trying to upgrade an existing 7.04 installation to 7.10. however, if I boot the installation cd it only offers me the chance to _install_ 7.10. will it recognize and properly upgrade my existing 7.04 installation?
[14:27] <suemeee> neopsyche, no way
[14:27] <s00p> IE7 for OS X??
[14:27] <s00p> IE7 is crap, too!
[14:27] <Pici> blueser: No.
[14:27] <Ahadiel> neopsyche, Why...
[14:27] <bstock> so, has anyone else noticed a delay for dns queries when trying to ping? on gutsy, if I try to ping something that resolves to our internal dns server, there's like a 2-second delay. but if i try it from a non-gutsy computer (fiesty, or windows or mac) it's fine. also, if i ping the IP from the gutsy box it's also fine
[14:27] <Pici> maniaxmax: Cedega is tailored for games, Wine for running any apps.
[14:28] <Javid-> s00p: windows installed without a hitch. ubuntu ate my mbr and refuses to detect my tablet.that = crapware
[14:28] <The-Compiler> Hi
[14:28] <bstock> and it didn't happen until i upgraded to gutsy
[14:28] <maniaxmax> pici: ok cool, thanks
[14:28] <bstock> and it's happening on 3 or 4 gutsy machines
[14:28] <Pici> bstock: Is it possible that you had ipv6 disabled previous to gutsy?
[14:28] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: for testing website purposes
[14:28] <blueser> Pici: wow, thk god I haven't tried it =) is it possible to install from this cd or am I obliged to do a network upgrade?
[14:28] <Ahadiel> neopsyche, run windows in a VM D: (ie. Virtualbox)
[14:28] <suemeee> bstock, I think the problem is in /etc/nsswitch.conf  compare it with other distro
[14:28] <s00p> Javid: Ubuntu installed great on my MacBook Pro and my Dell Latitude D630. I think it's wonderful!
[14:28] <bstock> Pici: i usually just leave resolv.conf as it is, including the ipv6 routes
[14:28] <JustinAllen> burwaco: mine wasn't either but i just figured it out.hehe..if you look in the bottom right corner (hope you're using GNOME) you should see your workspaces...i think default to Gutsy is 2..right click and go to preferences and change the columns to 4..so it shows 4 workspaces..then ur cube shold work properly
[14:28] <Gatestone> Here as a oneliner, see all installed packages by size: aptitude show '~n.*' | awk '/^Package:/ {p = $0} /^State:/ {s = $0} /^Uncompressed Size:/ {print p " " s " " $0}' | grep 'State: installed' | sed 's/: /:/g' | sort -t: -n -k4 | more
[14:28] <Pici> blueser: You can use the Alternate CD as a cdbased repo to do the upgrade.
[14:29] <Andycasss> Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders???? I can create a folder in my HOME share, but not in media. Both share paths are configured exacly the same in smba.conf
[14:29] <Gatestone> There must be a better way, though?
[14:29] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: that is very time consuming to set up as well as ram consuming
[14:29] <bstock> alright i'll take a look at that file
[14:29] <blueser> Pici: mmmh... got it. thks
[14:29] <snsone> is there anyone here who can help me or not?
[14:29] <MrEgg964> Pici: I must be doing smthg wrong ; my fstab line is /mnt/DataCenter/my\ \directory - that returns an error. Any idea?
[14:29] <bstock> actually that file looks the same as it was on fiesty
[14:29] <genii> blueser: Yes, as Pici says, you can do sudo apt-cdrom and add the 7.10 alternate to your sources.list where you can upgrade to it
[14:30] <Pici> MrEgg964: too many backslashes, should be /mnt/DataCenter/my\ directory/
[14:30] <bulmer> snsone-> what do you have? can you elaborate your network layout?
[14:30] <Javid> snsone: they're too busy eating cheetos and playing wow to stoop to helping a prole with their problems
[14:30] <blueser> genii: ok, thks. anyway, I need a different cd for that
[14:31] <Cyberai> can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back?
[14:31] <Cyberai> it's annoying
[14:31] <bstock> i know on fiesty there was some sort of checkbox i had to disable for a similar problem, something in Administration -> Network. but now it's changed a little
[14:31] <viril> hi
[14:32] <viril> question: any fix for gutsy on the msttcorefonts issue after doing apt-get upgrade please???
[14:32] <snsone> goddamit internet is very slow and ipv6 is disabled.help!
[14:32] <bstock> yeah, under General there was an option 'Scan for available service and advertise local services on the network' now that option isn't there anymore
[14:32] <zengen> Is there any difference between mounting in fstab with /dev/sdb* and by UUID
[14:32] <freezey> anybody have experience using alien to install .rpm packages?
[14:32] <s00p> Windows is an evil wretch
[14:33] <JimmyDee> so nu?
[14:33] <Lunks> I'm trying to run a game using Wine on a different X display. Sound goes fine, but there's no video output. What am I doing wrong? Using X :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only, then DISPLAY=:3 wine game
[14:33] <achadwick> viril: they work for me. What problems were you seeing?
[14:33] <Ahadiel> Lunks, try asking in #winehq I believe
[14:33] <Lunks> I'm trying :P
[14:33] <JimmyDee> freezey, whats the issue?
[14:34] <Lunks> I believe this has nothing to do with Wine specfically, but X or Nvidia.
[14:34] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: thanks anyway
[14:34] <viril> achadwick: --22:22:01--  http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
[14:34] <viril>            => `./andale32.exe'
[14:34] <viril> Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Connection timed out.
[14:34] <freezey> JimmyDee: i installed a package with alien and now i want to remove it
[14:35] <JimmyDee> freezey, you can remove it using apt-get remove
[14:35] <freezey> yeah but it was an rpm so i am not even sure of the package name
[14:35] <achadwick> viril: it resolves for me (to 130.59.138.20). Is andale31 the first font in the list by any chance, and/or do you see the same error elsewhere?
[14:36] <s00p> My  friend Ken and I have determined that "Windows" is a pariah. Anything with the name Windows attached to it is bound to be problematic!
[14:36] <mick_> somebody knows the Flash MX for linux ?
[14:36] <freezey> JimmyDee: it instaleld into a dir and its called hsm in the dir it installed to but in the above dir its just the .rpm package
[14:36] <Pici> s00p: Thats nice, and offtopic, take it to ##windows
[14:37] <snsone> god damn, i ask to much for somebody to help me make a bloody network card to work properly?
[14:37] <Cyberai> can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back?
[14:37] <Pici> mick_: There is none.  It might work under Wine though.
[14:37] <s00p> I did but they banned me :(
[14:37] <JimmyDee> freezey, check synaptic, look under manually installed
[14:37] <mick_> Pici, tks
[14:37] <Lunks> How to run X on a specified resolution?
[14:37]  * achadwick checks. And I can connect and get HTTP HEAD info for that file from surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net. 
[14:37] <Pici> s00p: If you continue here the result might be the same.
[14:37] <viril> achadwick, andale32 is the first font of the series. note: i'm not under a proxy or anything. what can i do to cancel/clean the partial process?
[14:37] <s00p> Pici: People are not allowed to talk about any non-Ubuntu topics here?
[14:37] <Pici> viril: have you read this: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/147253
[14:38] <Pici> s00p: This is a support channel, so, no.
[14:38] <Pici> !offtopic | s00p
[14:38] <ubotu> s00p: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:38] <Lunks> How to run X on a specified resolution?
[14:38] <freezey> JimmyDee: where is manually installed?
[14:38] <MikeDX> Lunks: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the default resolution in there (or set the highest value to the one you want)
[14:38] <r3m0t> I switched from prop. to free. nvidia driver, now my keymap is reset. how to fix?
[14:38] <viril> Pici, thanks, i'll check it first
[14:38] <Lunks> MikeDX: But I want to set it from command line
[14:39] <MikeDX> dynamically?
[14:39] <freezey> JimmyDee: ok i saw it
[14:39] <MikeDX> startx --help ?
[14:39] <s00p> In that case. When will the intel hd audio under the ICH8 chipset finally be working so that I don't gave to rebuild alsa with each kernel update?
[14:39] <Pici> !xconfig | Lunks
[14:39] <ubotu> Lunks: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes
[14:39] <SpikePT> Pici: The gParted Live CD works like Ubuntu Live CD? I have to boot from it and create partition?
[14:39] <boguh> hi, i want to install compiz fusion. which packages do i need?
[14:39] <JimmyDee> freezey, thats how to kill it
[14:39] <jsg> Hi, how do you edit the applications menu from the shell?
[14:39] <Pici> SpikePT: Yes, it does (and is a much smaller download). I just used it the other day.
[14:39] <Lunks> I'm creating a new X session, which I want to specify its resolution
[14:39] <snsone> ANYONE?I REALLY NEED HELP GODAMMIT!
[14:40] <Lunks> My usual X session is fine. ;)
[14:40] <JimmyDee> !patience | snsone
[14:40] <ubotu> snsone: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:40] <SpikePT> Pici: Thanks.
[14:40] <MikeDX> snsone: :o
[14:40] <genii> Javid: Try sudo modprobe wacom
[14:40] <MikeDX> ugh those bot "commands" are annoying as hell
[14:40] <Pici> snsone: Multiple people have asked you for more details and you havent provided any.
[14:40] <s00p> is there a maximum number of displays available using xinerama?
[14:40] <snsone> i provided details
[14:40] <dahitokiri> snsone, does the ubuntu livecd fix your network?
[14:41] <snsone> 3 times already
[14:41] <snsone> no, i tried it
[14:41] <MikeDX> snsone is your card listed in lspci? have you tried hard coding settings in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[14:41] <ta1> I woke up this morning and my HD was full.. checked Disk usage and it said there was 79gb in the beagle directory logs... so I removed all the logs and emptied the trash.. now I only have 52gb free? WTH  Any idea?
[14:41] <MikeDX> auto eth0 ... blah lbha
[14:41] <dahitokiri> snsone, what about knoppix?
[14:41] <neopsyche> How do i configure ies4linux .. i already installed it .. but something went wrong i dont have any icon to start ie6
[14:41] <Lunks> MikeDX: I want to specify screen resolution like -depth command specifies colour depth.
[14:42] <Pici> snsone: If you dont use the persons name when you reply, they dont know that you are talking to them.  Also keep your replies on one line.
[14:42] <r3m0t> ta1: oddly enough, that can happen
[14:42] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, did you install cabextract?
[14:42] <bulmer> snsone-> you need to prefix your responses with the nick of the person you are responding to or else it would be missed
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: first yes
[14:42] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, and wine I'm sure
[14:42] <snsone> MikeDXi dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases
[14:42] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows?
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: what do i type to check?
[14:42] <Lunks> and X is a too damn small word to google. :/
[14:42] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yes wine
[14:42] <ta1> r3m0t: sure but any idea why it would say there is 79gb of data and only free up 52?
[14:43] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, I've really never seen it fail, did you run the script using sudo?
[14:43] <MikeDX> lunks: google for x11 or xorg or xorg.conf or startx
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: let me check
[14:43] <kopsd> Lunks: what is your problem?
[14:43] <s00p> How well does WINE work these days? I have heard it's pretty sketchy at best.
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: i closed all the windows that were open
[14:43] <r3m0t> ta1: I think it's about how it's counted. if you used something like nautilus then it counts up the size of each file and totals them. but what if the same file exists under two names? it's only *actually* stored once on your disk
[14:43] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: can you run me through it again...
[14:43] <MikeDX> ta1: you sure it wasnt 52% free and not 52gb.. 160gb drive by any chance?
[14:43] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sure, open a terminal
[14:44] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok
[14:44] <burwaco> I think compiz really affects your productivity...
[14:44] <snsone> MikeDX:i dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases
[14:44] <richard_> gretings
[14:44] <richard_> can someone help me
[14:44] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, cd to the directory containing the ies4linux.sh script
[14:44] <Lunks> kopsd: I'm running a new X session, but would like to specify screen resolution
[14:44] <ta1> MikeDX: yes it said 79GB and it is a 250gb drive
[14:44] <Lunks> like -depth specifies colour depth
[14:44] <richard_> i installed Windows live messenger with the help of wine
[14:44] <MikeDX> snsone paste your /etc/network/interfaces (on pastbin)
[14:44] <MikeDX> and i'll try to edit it for you
[14:45] <richard_> and i want to run it
[14:45] <dahitokiri> richard_, what happens when you do/\
[14:45] <richard_> can someone help
[14:45] <richard_> what do you mean
[14:45] <dahitokiri> s///\/?
[14:45] <delire> how do i restore the gnome-panel with all the Ubuntu defaults, just as they came out-of-the-box? deleting ~/.gnome-* panel files is not getting me anywhere.
[14:45] <kopsd> richard_: got amsn for linux
[14:45] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh
[14:45] <neopsyche> ok
[14:45] <manchicken> Quick, what are the hotkeys in GNOME Terminal to create a tab, and switch the currently-viewed tab?
[14:45] <richard_> i have but with amsn for linux you cannot remote control
[14:45] <Pici> !resetpanel | delire
[14:45] <ubotu> delire: To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in.
[14:46] <richard_> with windows live messenger you can
[14:46] <delire> richard_: '\' is an 'escape character' in UNIX REGEX contexts.
[14:46] <r3m0t> manchicken: ctrl+pgup and pgdown, ctrl+shift+t
[14:46] <dahitokiri> richard_, if you installed wine using ubuntu's package manager, your installed application should be under the main menu of your toolbar, under "Wine"
[14:46] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: command not found?
[14:46] <delire> ty Pici!
[14:46] <manchicken> r3m0t: Much thanks.
[14:46] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, it might be ies4lin or something, I forget
[14:46] <delire> Pici: admittedly it's been many years since i've really used gnome.
[14:46] <richard_> yes i already have the short cut on my desktop
[14:47] <richard_> when i lunch it it does not open
[14:47] <s00p> Man Gnome needs a weather applet that allows you to add your own city definitions w/o hacking an xml file.
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: jimmydee
[14:47] <kopsd> richard_: but wine does not works with all windows-based application
[14:47] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, do a ls and tell me the .sh name
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: could i just run it with terminal by right clicking?
[14:47] <kopsd> only some will
[14:47] <richard_> yes i think i just find out
[14:47] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, hurm, never actually made that work, try typing it out
[14:47] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ies4linux  lang  lib  LICENSE  README  ui  winereg
[14:47] <Lunks> richard_: You really should check #winehq. Also, http://appdb.winehq.org for Wine Compatibility. I'm sure Windows Live Messenger does not work.
[14:48] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff
[14:48] <richard_> i manage to install  Win4Lin pro
[14:48] <MikeDX> live msn does not work
[14:48] <MikeDX> 7 works to an extent. 8 - forget it
[14:48] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, you need the script, where did you untar the script?
[14:48] <MikeDX> even with the real windows dlls
[14:48] <Lunks> Yeah, 7 should work fine.
[14:48] <richard_> but i donot have any xp disk
[14:48] <snsone> MikeDX: this may take a while because the internet is very slow (about 1kb/s)
[14:48] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: untarred script on desktop
[14:48] <MikeDX> snsone your /etc/network/interfaces file should be 10 lines max!
[14:48] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, cd ~/Desktop please
[14:49] <JustinAllen> ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc.  If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures.  All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything.  If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide
[14:49] <JustinAllen> as?
[14:49] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok?
[14:49] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: im on the desktop in terminal now
[14:49] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, now ls and tell me the ies4linux.sh or somesuch filename
[14:49] <richard_> any idea to make my logitech usb webcam work
[14:49] <snsone> MikeDX: yes but i have to download the paste
[14:50] <MikeDX> i see
[14:50] <puplin> JustinAllen: use a memory card + reader :) other than that, i don't know
[14:50] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: no no... the untarred files are extracted into a folder called ies4linux.something.something
[14:50] <inxane> richard_: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fqce-ga.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=o-cpR5GkHqbMgQTBzvV_&usg=AFQjCNEWfMZ3oMrlWao999Hn5kOJQqOX5g&sig2=9S0G5jGiWZBwN4Tu68vGOw
[14:50] <JimmyDee> then cd ies4linux.something.something
[14:50] <MikeDX> JustinAllen:try putting the camera into mass storage and then mounting the camera directly
[14:50] <inxane> richard_: sorry.... http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
[14:50] <MikeDX> or cd ies4[tab]
[14:51] <richard_> what does that do
[14:51] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it says ies4linux.sh
[14:51] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: thats the name of the file
[14:51] <kopsd> richard_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[14:51] <noelferreira> how can i start xterm with no window borders?
[14:51] <JimmyDee> is it green?
[14:51] <snsone> MikeDX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42901/
[14:51] <r3m0t> noelferreira: dare I ask why?
[14:52] <richard_> thank you
[14:52] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh and dont miss the "create desktop icon (Y/N)" line
[14:52] <noelferreira> because i want r3m0t, to use with vdr, just estetic
[14:52] <MikeDX> snsone what problem do you have with your network?
[14:52] <richard_> so any idea to make my windows live messenger lunch
[14:52] <MikeDX> what happens if you do sudo ifup eth1 from a shell
[14:52] <Andycasss> Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff
[14:52] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: do i need to put ./
[14:52] <MikeDX> richard_: why would you want to make lunch for it....
[14:52] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it keeps saying command no tfound
[14:53] <snsone> MikeDX: it's going very slow (internet) and the dns's are reseting every 10 min
[14:53] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: should i run it sudo su?
[14:53] <John_R> andycasss: look for e2fs on google
[14:53] <r3m0t> noelferreira: if you want some windows with and others without, I'm not sure
[14:53] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, sudo chmod +x ies4linux.sh
[14:53] <burwaco> does anyone know in the compiz setting manager where you can make the windows that lay on top of eachother appear in 3D, like there's space between the windows...
[14:53] <inxane> richard_: using wine?
[14:53] <dahitokiri> how do i find out which version of the kernel i'm running via the commandline?
[14:53] <r3m0t> burwaco: you mean Vista-style?
[14:53] <inxane> dahitokiri: uname -r
[14:53] <tristanmike> hi, quick question please. I installed "mplayer" and "mozilla-mplayer" but how do I get firefox to use the mozilla-mplayer plugin ? Thanks in advance :D
[14:53] <MikeDX> snsone:  is that a server? can you use dhcp?
[14:53] <bstock> snsone: first of all, put your 'auto' command above the config. secondly, are you trying to add custom DNS entries and they're getting reset to the dhcp ones?
[14:53] <richard_> i have already
[14:53] <dahitokiri> inxane, thanks
[14:53] <noelferreira> r3m0t: what is Vista-style?
[14:53] <inxane> dahitokiri: np
[14:53] <suemeee> dahitokiri, uname -r
[14:53] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: this is really confusing: chmod: cannot access `ies4linux.sh': No such file or directory
[14:54] <richard_> when i click on the icon it does not lunch
[14:54] <r3m0t> noelferreira: I mean Flip3D, Google it
[14:54] <donner> mplayer for life :>
[14:54] <tristanmike> :D
[14:54] <noelferreira> nothing of that r3m0t
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: but i am in .. :/home/andrew/Desktop/ies4linux-2.0.5#
[14:54] <snsone> bstock: yes,custom
[14:54] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, and the ies4linux.sh is green when you ls?
[14:54] <noelferreira> i just need to start an aplication in Xterm with no window borders. that's all
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: and it does infact have a file ies4linux
[14:54] <burwaco> r3m0t: no, I don't think so, I mean when you rotate the cube, the windows aren't flat on the cube, but there's like a space between all of them...
[14:54] <r3m0t> noelferreira: sorry, I don't know
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: shows up in nautilus
[14:54] <John_R> neopsyche: try chmod 0755 ./ies4linux.sh
[14:54] <snsone> MikeDX: no, i can't use
[14:54] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yes green
[14:54] <CarlFK> anyone have a URL about "Oracle recommends Ubuntu" ?
[14:55] <iceman> Hello everyone! What are the apps that an engineering student can use on ubuntu?
[14:55] <Alp`> with "sudo apt-get install " i get an auto completion. i made a shortcut alias called "ins" for that command to type in something like "ins ubuntu-desktop" instead of "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". but with "ins" i dont get auto-completion. how to fix (add) that?
[14:55] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, try sudo sh ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <John_R> the ./ is important
[14:55] <MikeDX> snsone have you edit /etc/resolv.conf ? you could try using the opendns servers
[14:55] <inxane> iceman: not an engineer, but browse synaptic
[14:55] <bstock> snsone: yeah, dhcp resets them. have you tried to go System -> Administration -> Network and adding DNS entries in there?
[14:55] <r3m0t> iceman: search for "engineer" in @add/remove applications"
[14:55] <noelferreira> lol r3m0t, flip3d you must be kiding
[14:55] <noelferreira> :)
[14:55] <John_R> neopsyche: to run ies4linux, use ./ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: sh: Can't open ies4linux.sh
[14:55] <Pici> neopsyche: Either create a desktop launcher and point it to your app, or run it from one of the vttys with DISPLAY=0:0 prefixing it  .  or whatever your x display is on
[14:55] <JustinAllen> MikeDx: how do i go about mounting it manually? what would it show up under? /dev? i'm not sure how to determine if linux is seeing it as being able to be mounted.....
[14:56] <John_R> just type ./ies4linbux.sh
[14:56] <SpikePT> Pici: Can I boot gParted from USB Flash Drive? Just b copying ISO's contents into the Drive?
[14:56] <snsone> bstocl: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting
[14:56] <iceman> Are these apps present in the default repos??
[14:56] <noelferreira> i use flip3d in linux at least for 5 or 6 years r3m0t
[14:56] <Pici> SpikePT: I dont think that will work.
[14:56] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, when you type ls ies* what does it say?
[14:56] <inxane> JustinAllen: type dmesg and see what /dev/sd? device is listed when you plug it in
[14:56] <Pici> SpikePT: The gparted website might have more information about doing that though.
[14:56] <SpikePT> Pici: Thanks.
[14:56] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: it says ies4linux (in green )
[14:56] <s00p> SpikePT: I think there is a mini USB version of a gparted live cd
[14:56] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: bright green ;-)
[14:56] <snsone> bstock: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting
[14:57] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, let us try this, sudo ./ies4linux no .sh
[14:57] <bstock> snsone: if you want a perminant change in dns, you should either 1) modify the dhcp server to give out the correct address, or 2) setup a static dns for those
[14:57] <manchicken> So, gnome users, do you prefer thunderbird or evolution?
[14:57] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok.. running as root it now gives me something
[14:57] <r3m0t> thunderbirds
[14:57] <MikeDX> are go
[14:57] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: do i want to also install something or other .. 5.5 sp2?
[14:57] <snsone> bstock: how can i do that?im kinda noobish to ubuntu
[14:58] <JimmyDee> naw
[14:58] <albech> i like evolution, but i cant figure out how to make it save my sent messages
[14:58] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: albech

[14:58] <neopsyche> albech: make sure that your search bar is not active.. when viewing select last 5 days option off
[14:58] <bstock> snsone: try running 'sudo apt-get install resolvconf' and then adding the option 'dns-nameservers' to /etc/network/interfaces

[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, gotta do it all or it dont work
[15:00] <YanchoAWY> Linking /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init to /etc/init.d/ls.init ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init' to `/etc/init.d/ls.init': No such file or directory <- is this the result of trying to install a RedHat Application on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok.. but what about my old files.. will they be over written?
[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, yup
[15:00] <Pici> YanchoAWY: It very likely might be
[15:00] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: the stuff i previously installed i dont want it cluttering up the system
[15:00] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, all goes in the same place, you'll be fine
[15:01] <YanchoAWY> Pici i did install alien .. but nothing changed
[15:01] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: cool
[15:01] <riderrr> ty ubotu the nounting worked!!
[15:01] <manchicken> Anybody ever gotten anything to sync with a blackberry?
[15:01] <Pici> YanchoAWY: Did you install something with alien?
[15:01] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: what im confused about.. why does it not run when i simply right click run in terminal from nautilus .. diddnt install icons?
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: in other words.. i did the whole process .. but it diddnt install properly.. diddnt give an start file in bin in home/me
[15:02] <Fallion55> hello all
[15:02] <JimmyDee> neopsyche, this is a question I cannot answer, I think scripts belong in the terminal
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: hmm
[15:02] <YanchoAWY> Pici no .. i just added it to my system .. now i have the install.sh .. how can i run it with alien?
[15:02] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: ok thanks.
[15:02] <jditto> hello, i need some help with a terminal command to remount/turn on a removeable hdd after ejecting it.
[15:03] <Fallion55> wow... lot's of questions
[15:03] <Pici> YanchoAWY: alien is only for running RPMs. not shell scripts.  If it was designed for a redhat system it might not work at all or it might work fine.
[15:03] <pike_> jditto: something like 'sudo mount -o remount /directory' ?
[15:03] <JimmyDee> just another feisty day in ubuntuland fallion
[15:03] <Fallion55> yeah... I see that
[15:03] <genii> YanchoAWY: Alien is only good for pre-packages RMP type packages. It won't help much with binary RedHat installations
[15:03] <snsone> bstock: ok dont that so it should work now, as in no more resets right?
[15:03] <pike_> jditto: its not remounting automatically?
[15:03] <YanchoAWY> argggh :( .. so there is much more chance for me to make the win version work than the redhat

[15:04] <genii> Pici: Sorry for repeat of your answer LOL was looking at keyboard while typing and not screen etc
[15:05] <Fallion55> ok... thanks for all the answers... ...is #nvidia really a room or is that a joke?
[15:05] <snsone> bstock: the internet is very slow, though the ipv6 is disabled
[15:05] <JimmyDee> Fallion55, nope no joke
[15:05] <r3m0t> I believed it
[15:05] <JustinAllen> inxane: i don't see any entry for /dev/sd when i type in dmesg...
[15:05] <Pici> genii: its okay. I actually thought you were correcting my RPM spelling at first

[15:06] <inxane> JustinAllen: strange... you should show some type of device with a partition number when you plug the device in
[15:06] <neopsyche> JimmyDee: yeah i know... are they against world domination of linux?
[15:06] <r3m0t> Fallion55: ask there!
[15:06] <bstock> snsone: i dunno, could be a lot of different things. out-of-the-box, the dhcp setup should have worked fine for you

[15:13] <manchicken> r3m0t: Is that in the repos?
[15:13] <ikonia> snsone you'll need iptables or squid for that
[15:13] <r3m0t> manchicken: it's part of ubuntu-desktop! you should have it, unless I misnamed it
[15:14] <jditto> inxane: sure, but it would be nice to have it turn off using eject command. then have it turned back on and automatically remounted. that way it wouldn't matter if they forget to swap backup drive randomly there wouldn't be any problems.
[15:14] <r3m0t> it's called deskbar-applet

[15:16] <boris> donner : im not registered so i cant send u pvt messages, join #ubuntu-serbia and we'll talk there
[15:16] <r3m0t> manchicken: I don't know exactly - if you want to disable modules other than the launcher, that could work
[15:16] <gerro> freak124 use dd to blank drive it has corrupt mbr
[15:16] <ikonia> snsone I told you - you don't just setup your other nick, you'll need to either write a set of iptable rules to allow other machiens to access, or you'll need to setup a squid proxy
[15:16] <manchicken> r3m0t: Have yo used katapult before?
[15:17] <inxane> JustinAllen: well, it may be vfat... so try 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/camera

[15:18] <trukosh> Hi. I have openvpn and shorewall running. When Shorewall starts after a reboot, the tun0 interface of openvpn isn't up, so shorewall fails to start. (wait_interface tun0 is set). One can solve this, by adding openvpn to runlevel S. (cd /etc/rcS.d; ln -s ../init.d/openvpn S16openvpn). Will this symlink be overwritten/deleted when an update is done or will it last?
[15:18] <gerro> dirtbag666 i use brasero might want to try it
[15:18] <MikeDX> i just managedc to kill my mysql installation - is there an easy way (ive tried dkpg-reconfigure, and i've tried apt-get remove and apt-get install) to get the original file structure back?
[15:19] <r3m0t> manchicken: deskbar does all that, but the display is at a side of your screen. you can give it a keyboard shortcut
[15:19] <dirtbag666> gerro: i've been using k3b on Debian and SuSE without any problems and i'd like to keep it as my burning tool, but thx for the hint
[15:19] <MikeDX> trukosh: it will stick
[15:19] <manchicken> r3m0t: Does it?
[15:19] <frederick85> I deleted an important file accidentally how can i retrieve it
[15:19] <jditto> happyfeet: log into diagnosti mode of ubuntu then setup a password for root
[15:19] <trukosh> Thx MikeDX
[15:19] <gerro> dirtbag666 check md5sum of what you burned and enable integrity check of cd with k3b, perhaps lower burn speed
[15:19] <JustinAllen> inxane: winblows shows FAT....lemme try that...
[15:19] <inxane> frederick85: you are probably screwed.
[15:19] <ikonia> jditto 1.) don't receommend that 2.) thats the most long winded way of setting a root password
[15:20] <MikeDX> trukosh: those are only created normally the first time you install it
[15:20] <ikonia> JustinAllen do you mean "windows"
[15:20] <MikeDX> apt remembers... i think
[15:20] <jditto> idonia: sure but it works
[15:20] <r3m0t> manchicken: yes!

[15:20] <r3m0t> manchicken: yes
[15:20] <JustinAllen> ikonia: yes i do :D
[15:20] <ikonia> JustinAllen its called windows not "winblows" or "M$" or anyhting like that
[15:20] <manchicken> r3m0t: How do you get it to do calculations and spellcheck and all that?
[15:20] <gerro> dirtbag666 it same comp you trying to mount it on?
[15:20] <manchicken> r3m0t: I only see searching.
[15:21] <inxane> ikonia: it's called humor... you should try it sometime

[15:25] <troughton> i have updated to 7.10 and it has added a wlan0:ava that is conflicting with wlan0 and making my wirless unusable
[15:25] <ankur> StucKman_, he he ;)
[15:25] <StucKman_> anyways, I can't see any problems with your fstab
[15:26] <troughton> can anyone help ?
[15:26] <Pici> SaToNiO: windowskey+O
[15:26] <adac2> why is gutsy so slow at booting?
[15:26] <Fallion55> heh... this is the funniest chatroom I've ever been in
[15:26] <MikeDX> why is gutsy so slow...
[15:26] <StucKman_> ankur: have you tried to run fsck with --force?
[15:26] <MikeDX> ive gone back to feisty can you believe it
[15:26] <ikonia> adac2 thats a matter of your hardware/configuration/personal opinion
[15:26] <SaToNiO> thank you pici
[15:26] <ankur> ya I always use fsck -f
[15:26] <grubhelp> hi, I hosed my grub.  Is there a quick and easy way to fix that?
[15:26] <JustinAllen> inxane: lol..had to check..yes i am....i'm typing sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/camera
[15:26] <StucKman_> ankur: rhen dunno
[15:26] <adac2>  ikonia: think 2 minutes its simply too long isn't it?
[15:26] <ikonia> grubhelp define "hosed grub"
[15:26] <YanchoAWY> Pici .. so you think that it is harder for me to try to get a Redhat application working rather than a Windows one? and use win with it ?
[15:27] <javb> If i have a print server, hosting drivers and everything, and Ubuntu, in its Printers drivers database doesnt have this printer, will the printserver work ? And Ubuntu doesnt care about the driver? O it will act as a printer sharing? needing the drivers?
[15:27] <manchicken> r3m0t: It doesn't have a calc program on it... but that's okay, I've still got my kubuntu machine for that ;)
[15:27] <grubhelp> I can currently not boot windows OR ubuntu
[15:27] <awilliams> anyone have any good solutions for syncing an ipod?
[15:27] <trukosh> MikeDX: If --purge doesn't help: Do it again. Then delete all info files (for mysql) under /var/lib/dpkg/info. Move /var/lib/mysql out of the way and then reinstall. Should work..
[15:27] <ikonia> grubhelp what have you done and what is the eror
[15:27] <ankur> StucKman_, anyway thanks, I will try again
[15:27] <Fallion55> heh... You guys in the know need to create a "stand in line" based answer system.
[15:27] <Pici> YanchoAWY: I'd try using Wine to get the windows version to work, before delving into fixing the redhat one.
[15:27] <r3m0t> manchicken: you can surely get something, although I think deskbar may have broken their API at inappropriate times
[15:27] <achadwick> grubhelp: if it's hosed, gpart might help.
[15:28] <riderrr> how can I get my ATI Radeon 7000/VE graphics card to successfully display both of my monitors?
[15:28] <MikeDX> oh cool i never knew alt+tab in a console shows you your latest commands!
[15:28] <YanchoAWY> damn Pici .. i am nost sure if the wine is working or not hehe .. it is getting the screen but then not sure if it is closing coz that is its job or not
[15:28] <inxane> JustinAllen: i'm sorry, but I don't quite know what to suggest next.
[15:28] <MikeDX> trukosh: i'm going to try that now, thanks :)
[15:28] <Pici> YanchoAWY: What software is it that you're trying to install?
[15:28] <Fallion55> anyone know where the nvidia ubuntu forum is?
[15:28] <awilliams> anyone know if itunes will work with wine?

[15:29] <MikeDX> awilliams: yes but not the latest version
[15:29] <yup> hello
[15:29] <inxane> JustinAllen: cool, good luck
[15:29] <manchicken> r3m0t: Is there an appropriate time to break one's API? :P
[15:29] <ikonia> Fallion55 nvidia ubuntu forum ?
[15:29] <yup> i recently installed ubuntu, but there are not desktop icons
[15:29] <awilliams> is there a certain version I should get?
[15:29] <JustinAllen> inxane: thanks..i'm definetly gonna need it...hehe
[15:29] <Fallion55> I tried the #nvidia room
[15:29] <yup> how can I make desktop icons such as my computer, networking, visible on desktop ?
[15:29] <ikonia> Fallion55 just ask the question
[15:29] <Pici> !icons | yup
[15:29] <ubotu> yup: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[15:30] <inxane> yup gconf-editor

[15:30] <Fallion55> I want to get my 6800gt working correctly
[15:30] <Fallion55> I don't know what I'm doing
[15:30] <ikonia> Fallion55 what do you mean by working correctly ?
[15:30] <dirtbag666> Wanderer:yes, i am

[15:30] <Wanderer> dirtbag666: linux guest?
[15:30] <Fallion55> enable both monitors without

[15:30] <javb> If i have a print server, hosting drivers and everything, and Ubuntu, in its Printers drivers database doesnt have this printer, will the printserver work ? And Ubuntu doesnt care about the driver? O it will act as a printer sharing? needing the drivers?

[15:30] <dirtbag666> Wanderer: WinXP on VMWare Workstation
[15:30] <Wanderer> trying to get vmware tools to compile
[15:30] <Pici> YanchoAWY: hmm..
[15:30] <troughton> i am having a problem with my wirless the update to gusty has added a wlan0:ava and it conflicting with my wlan0 how can i disable wlan0:ava ???
[15:31] <dirtbag666> dirtbag666: is there an error while compiling?
[15:31] <achadwick> MikeDX: so it is. Actually, it's recent word completion (type a partial word, and hit alt-tab :), and presumably it'll work in other readline-aware things.
[15:31] <Wanderer> troughton: stop avahi
[15:31] <ikonia> Fallion55 to use dual monitor with nvidia you have the option of using xinerama or nvidia's own twin view. There are tools such as "nvidia-settings" to help you set this up but my personal opinion is that those tools are not mature enough and youi'll end up building your own config from hand
[15:31] <MikeDX> its cool
[15:31] <MikeDX> very handy
[15:31] <Wanderer> dirtbag666: yeah, says it can't find version.h
[15:31] <Wanderer> i've instaled the headers but it doesn't like them
[15:31] <Fallion55> everything is either oversized or i have to move my mouse to the edge of the screen to make it move around
[15:31] <MikeDX> but ive just stuffed my server with this mysql problem... time to reinstall :(
[15:31] <bulmer> troughton-> curiosity, is that an additional entry in /etc/network/interfaces?
[15:31] <ikonia> Wanderer your missing your header files, or your Makefile is looking in the wrong place for them
[15:32] <ikonia> MikeDX what is your mysql problem
[15:32] <dirtbag666> Wanderer: try google, there's a patch for VMWare
[15:32] <Fallion55> ok... so i can get xinerama from the synaptic package manager?
[15:32] <ikonia> Fallion55 no - xinerama is an externsioon to the xorg server
[15:32] <Wanderer> thats the any-any patch, didn't think it was for vmware tools
[15:32] <JustinAllen> inxane: ok..i changed it to PTP setting instead of Mass Storage and when i issue my mount command i get this instead.....mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[15:32] <Wanderer> I'll try it though, thanks
[15:32] <JustinAllen> inxane: but dmesg shows it as being sda1 still....
[15:32] <MikeDX> ive screwed up the files in /var/lib/mysql and now I cant get them back. i've also removed the mysql* files in /var/lib/apt/info :D
[15:32] <troughton> Wanderer unknown job bulmer not listed in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:33] <MikeDX> apt-get remove, dpkg --purge and apt-get install all fail
[15:33] <ikonia> MikeDX you'll have to re-install then really
[15:33] <Fallion55> ok... so what do you mean by building my own by hand....
[15:33] <MikeDX> yep
[15:33] <ikonia> ooh the remove fails.
[15:33] <Fallion55> I'm no programmer
[15:33] <MikeDX> well, no the remove just does bugger all
[15:33] <ikonia> Fallion55 you don't need to be a programmer
[15:33] <inxane> JustinAllen: did you unplug it and replug it in?
[15:33] <ikonia> MikeDX what about the purge ?
[15:33] <JustinAllen> inxane: yes
[15:33] <MikeDX> erm.. says it worked
[15:33] <MikeDX> then install doesnt put the files back
[15:33] <Fallion55> where do I start then?
[15:33] <MikeDX> its ok, a reinstall isnt the end of the world. its a test server anyway
[15:34] <progress0r> i had a disk fill to capacity. Now for one reason or another i get errors on certain applications i.e. LD_PRELOAD ... some .so cannot be loaded. I verified the file exists. any ideas?
[15:34] <ikonia> MikeDX: thats odd
[15:34] <MikeDX> very
[15:34] <MikeDX> its my own fault though

[15:53] <bloodniece> ikonia: thats what i thought. evolution is it for exchange on *nix huh?
[15:53] <mutable> Hi all, I have set up all LC_* to my native language (to .bashrc, except for LANG and LC_ALL remain set to en_US.utf8). However Gnome Clock Applet still uses English time locale.
[15:53] <gumnos> I'm looking for a way to forbid particular packages completely (not just forbid a given version, or pin a package at a given verison).  So if I wanted to prohibit the "mono" and "ruby" packages all together
[15:53] <burwaco> got rid of totem, put mplayer in place...

[16:00] <arnath> hi, does the normal installation cd of 7.10 allow you to partition the disks yourself?
[16:00] <arnath> or do you need the "alternate" for this?

[16:00] <Se1> Hi everyone. I have a small problem with compiz. When I go to the "synaptic Package manager" and the screen fades and ask for my password, after i enter it the border of the small password-window stays in the middle of the screen and i have to reload compiz for it to diseappear. Has anyone of you experienced the same problem ?
[16:01] <bloodniece> s00p: i can get mail and send but GAL is not authenticating properly
[16:01] <ronin_> vulcanius: Nope. Overclocked to 3.0 on air easily.
[16:01] <ronin_> vulcanius: Remember to get one with the G0 stepping, not the B3
[16:01] <Bonster> dopey22: install codec
[16:01] <dopey22> Pici: thanks
[16:01] <vulcanius> ronin_, k, where did you purchase from?
[16:02] <s00p> bloodniece: It may well be on the AD side.
[16:02] <s00p> What version of Evolution?
[16:02] <s00p> I am using 2.12.0

[16:03] <GreyGhost> anyone who knows more about the Ubuntu laptop park problems>?
[16:03] <gumnos> Any apt-get/dpkg gurus out there?

[16:03] <ubotu> gumnos: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[16:03] <Pici> GreyGhost: park problems?
[16:03] <ikonia> GreyGhost what do you mean by park, as in the disk heads "park" option
[16:04] <s00p> Hmm.. Try this.. It has helped me.. Stop evolution, make sure its out of the process list. Then rename ~/.evolution and relaunch. Will basically start fresh.
[16:04] <gumnos> I'm trying to prevent a package from installing at all...not just pinning a particular version or forbiding a particular version.
[16:04] <minus> what is the "lost+found" directory used for?

[16:04] <ikonia> thor debian has its own packages
[16:04] <ronin_> vulcanius: Newegg. But I got lucky, they don't specify. We should cut it out though, with the offtopic.   Back on topic, I'm still trying to get OpenGL to play nice with the latest ATI drivers >>:
[16:05] <minus> kitche, kinda obvious.. But more specific.. When do files pop up there?
[16:05] <thor> ikonia, but ubuntu stuf can run on debian
[16:05] <gumnos> So how would I forbid, say "mono" from ever being installed?
[16:05] <Vlet> gumnos: What is causing the package to be installed?
[16:05] <Pici> !debian | thor
[16:05] <ubotu> thor: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[16:05] <GreyGhost> Pici ,thanks looking
[16:05] <gumnos> installing a package and not noticing dependencies
[16:05] <s00p> I want to know why bittorrent is such a pain to uninstall!
[16:05] <ikonia> thor ubuntu has its own package - and debian has its own packages, mixing and matching is not what should be happening
[16:05] <NET||abuse> anyone using AWN with gutsy here yet?
[16:05] <thor> ubotu thanks
[16:05] <GreyGhost> s00p: i'm using azureus great here ;)
[16:05] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[16:05] <ikonia> thor apt-cache policy
[16:05] <gumnos> so if I accidentally installed, say, Beagle, and didn't notice that mono was a dep., I want it to yell at me :)
[16:05] <NET||abuse> I was going to use it, but there's not a version in the repos...
[16:06] <ikonia> gumnos apt-cache policy sorry
[16:06] <s00p> I dont want ANY BT client. I don't use it.
[16:06] <Tom47> ronin_: you could try yr questions in #ubuntu-effects
[16:06] <ikonia> s00p delete them then
[16:06] <gumnos> thanks, ikonia
[16:06] <albertito> hi! I'm trying to install texlive-science via aptitude and it says it's an untrusted version. Is that normal? That never happened before...
[16:06] <gumnos> I'll investigate
[16:06] <ikonia> Tom47 or he could accept the answer given
[16:06] <strav> hem. I've seen plenty of posts about a resume from suspend problem in gutsy... While it seems this can be related to several issues, is there any patch released yet?
[16:06] <s00p> ikonia.. i get some error that all this other junk requires it!
[16:07] <ikonia> s00p so break other stuff - or live with it
[16:07] <thor> ikonia, hmm ok i was just curious
[16:07] <Pici> albertito: Sometimes that happens if your apt-get update doesnt work properly, try updating again then installing.
[16:07] <s00p> some help you are!
[16:07] <Chams> oh well, I've installed ubuntu with the alt cd, but its the same.. lags alot, non usable.. thought 1,6ghz and 256mbs of ram would be enough :/
[16:07] <ikonia> s00p I am actually, I'm telling you your two options. Removing depedndencies will break other things, so you have a choice of living with the application you don't want on your ssystem or risk breaking other things removing dependencies
[16:07] <arnath> Chams: you should consider xubuntu
[16:07] <albertito> Pici: it worked now, thanks a lot =)
[16:08] <s00p> it is lame that BT is tied into so many things. this is akin to tying IE into Windows.
[16:08] <Chams> I guess I'll do that then
[16:08] <arnath> Chams: kde & gnome can eat up quite a bit of ram, but xfc is much lighter
[16:08] <ikonia> s00p if it bothers you that much - don't use ubuntu
[16:08] <ta1> When I boot it looks like the system thinks I am trying to boot a floppy.. it says the disk is bad and to insert a bootable floppy.. if I hit enter then it boots grub just fine.. any idea how to fix this
[16:08] <Vlet> gumnos: well, if a package you wish to install depends on another, your only option really is to not install that which depends on it... apt is designed to KEEP things organized, and PREVENT dependency problems, so no, as far as I know, there isn't
[16:08] <pike_> Chams: gnome is going to be 256 min usually i would run gnome with that though
[16:08] <arnath> pike_: it depends what you are gonna do, im running a server on a home computer on 256 meg and the ram is nearly full all the time (without any desktop)
[16:08] <vulcanius> ta1, do you have a floppy in your drive?
[16:08] <pike_> Chams: also desktop effects.. im not familiar with em but you might disable em
[16:08] <gumnos> ikonia:  you mentioned "apt-cache policy", but that only seems like a way to /see/ what your current policy is, not provide a way to ban a package.
[16:09] <kelsin_> s00p: well, at least bit torrent client isn't always running in the background, and can crash the computer at any moment. You can install from the alt cd with nothing but a command line and build up only what you want (and not use the ubuntu-desktop packages)
[16:09] <Vlet> ikonia: ahh, apt-cache would handle that... there is nothing in the apt-get manpage to allow that
[16:09] <ta1> vulcanius: lol no.. I even tried totally disabling the floppy and it still gives the error
[16:09] <arnath> Chams: by the way, no need to reinstall ubuntu, just do something like apt-get install ubuntu-xfc-desktop (or somtehing)
[16:09] <gumnos> Vlet:  I understand...I want apt-get to yell at me in the same way that a conflicting dependency would
[16:09] <s00p> kelsin_: there is certainly something to be said for that.
[16:09] <minus> what is the next release of ubuntu called?

[16:09] <vulcanius> ta1, you may try unplugging the power cable from the floppy and restarting
[16:10] <minus> Pici, Ok, thx :)
[16:10] <ta1> vulcanius: ty i'll give it a shot
[16:10] <gumnos> Vlet and ikonia:  I suppose it would be hackish to create a virtual pseudo-package that has conflicts with the packages that I don't want, and then install that pseudo-package.  Any tips on how to do that?
[16:10] <Vlet> gumnos: just curious, why?
[16:10] <hwMoD> Hi, can anyone give me pointers as to how to customize the text in the shutdown/logout dialog?
[16:11] <Chams> I'll check out xubuntu then, thanks
[16:11] <gumnos> Vlet: There are several packages that I've found to be system hogs that drag my poor P800 with its meager 128 megs of memory to its knees.  Mono is one, KDE is another.  I want to prevent myself from accidentally installing these hogs when exploring available packages.

[16:28] <duq> BenC: Hi!  I'm a long-time debian user trying to compile a custom kernel in Ubuntu, but the instructions on the KernelCustomBuild wiki page aren't working for me.  Details here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42911/
[16:29] <juano__> hammer123: there we go, forgot the !
[16:29] <hammer123> thanks
[16:29] <bullgard4> mrsno: I have checked Gnome main menu System > System Preferences > System Check > Processes. There is no powernowd.
[16:29] <juano__> !timidity
[16:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about timidity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:29] <Tom47> rupert even better after running it through google translate :)
[16:29] <juano__> dang
[16:29] <kaje> Can someone give me a straightforward answer about what the difference is between the desktop and server editions of ubuntu?
[16:29] <bulmer> bullgard4-> maybe its an additional package you have to install..google for it
[16:29] <mrsno> bullgard4 powernowd is for amd cpus, right click the panel > add to panel > and add the CPU Frequency applet, that will show you if things are working as they should
[16:29] <Pici> juano__: I'll paste you mine, where does that file live?
[16:30] <riderrr> how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable?
[16:30] <dymaxium> Kaje: desktop version is setup for a desktop, server setup has LAMP installed
[16:30] <juano__> Pici: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg  or /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg
[16:30] <juano__> Pici: try /etc/timidity first
[16:30] <bulmer> kaje-> my straightforward answer, is one acts a server, serving services, the other is a typical client requesting services from the server..it doesnt mean a server cannot act as a client
[16:30] <dymaxium> I don't think the server edition has a graphical interface either
[16:31] <kaje> that's the only differences?
[16:31] <Pici> juano__: http://pastebin.com/f43b59b1b
[16:31] <bulmer> kaje-> you may want to read and search yourself via google..
[16:31] <CyberAgeVoodoo> hi.. quick question
[16:31] <juano__> thanks Pici
[16:31] <kaje> bulmer, I have, but all I've found is marketing hype
[16:31] <fmc-AmaG> Is there some error going on with the servers?
[16:31] <fmc-AmaG> Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe ident2 1.05-1
[16:31] <fmc-AmaG>   404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.3.82 80]
[16:32] <bulmer> kaje-> we gave you the highlights, if you want more detailed you have to do your own reasearch
[16:32] <juano__> Pici: though its all commented
[16:32] <juano__> Pici... hmm
[16:32] <Pici> fmc-AmaG: I think that the de servers are having some issues, you might want to try a mirror
[16:32] <fmc-AmaG> Pici: ok..
[16:32] <CyberAgeVoodoo> what is the directory equivilant of "program files"
[16:32] <Pici> juano__: Heres the sourced file if you need it too: http://pastebin.com/f4644bbbc
[16:32] <juano__> Pici: aahh yes
[16:32] <fmc-AmaG> Pici: Is there a tool to select a mirror?
[16:32] <pike_> CyberAgeVoodoo: short answser is .. there is none
[16:32] <bullgard4> mrsno: I have added an applet. The context menu explains: "Ondemand 600 MHz (33%)." Where is powernowd?
[16:32] <jodde> Hi guys.
[16:32] <juano__> Pici: there we go
[16:32] <Pici> fmc-AmaG: System>Administration>Software Sources
[16:32] <juano__> Pici: thanks
[16:32] <frojnd> hello there guys
[16:32] <jodde> Could someone tell me how to defrag my HD?
[16:32] <Bonster> usually in user/lib
[16:32] <Pici> juano__: sure thing
[16:33] <frojnd> any good tutorial for ati
[16:33] <GreyGhost> shit ...
[16:33] <Pici> jodde: Theres no reason to defrag ext3 drives
[16:33] <fmc-AmaG> Pici: no x-server... it is ubuntu-server
[16:33] <frojnd> ?
[16:33] <jodde> Really?
[16:33] <GreyGhost> the cycles now went up by 14 in the last 5 minutes ...
[16:33] <jodde> That's cool!
[16:33] <burwaco> hmm, little trouble over here... I just installed Urban Terror and tested it, everything is fine until the actual game starts, lots of artifacts and text is unreadable, could it be due to compiz ? is there an easy way to turn of compiz before starting a game ?
[16:33] <pike_> CyberAgeVoodoo: you have bin and lib directories so two programs will have their libs in same dir and executables in same bin dir.  for instance do 'which firefox' and itll tell you path to firefox executable
[16:33] <jodde> Maybe that's why Linux is so much faster than Winblows.
[16:33] <CyberAgeVoodoo> I want to replace the azereus package I downloaded via get-apt with the one off the website. but it just opens as a folder and not an installer
[16:34] <frojnd> !ati
[16:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:34] <Whitor> burwaco: YOu can turn off compiz by typing metacity --replace & in a terminal
[16:34] <CyberAgeVoodoo> thanks pike
[16:34] <jodde> CyberAgeVoodoo, why not try Debian package manager?
[16:34] <jodde> Add it through add/remove apps.
[16:34] <CyberAgeVoodoo> vuze (azureus 3.0) does not have a deb
[16:35] <burwaco> Whitor: and compiz --replace after that ? or isn't it that easy ?
[16:35] <CyberAgeVoodoo> well as far as I can tell
[16:35] <pike_> CyberAgeVoodoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529431  the package is kinda crappy for az i gather.  personally id suggest you try deluge or another torrent client but look at this link might help
[16:35] <jodde> DPM works with gzips too.
[16:35] <daxroc> noon all

[16:35] <arnath> hmm, i was trying to install ubuntu using the normal desktop (via live cd) install, but with manual partitioning, i could not chose LVM, nor could i set a partition to bootable?
[16:35] <Chris7mas> CyberAgeVoodoo: why don't you download it from here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122
[16:35] <kantor> hi, If I try to send a message to the linux kernel developers, the mailer daemon complains that my e-mail contains HTML subpart's and that is considered spam (only plain text is accepted),  what's that ? and how can I send only plain text ?
[16:35] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know why Ubuntu is trying to download non-existent package-lists which are not in my /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[16:35] <juano__> Pici: mmm... still isnt working, actually timidity is working fine, except my problem is that audacious plugin isnt working, it runs the midis but no sound
[16:35] <arnath> am i missing something or can it simply not be done with the normal cd?
[16:35] <Samus_Aran> http://.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-backports/Release.gpg: Could not resolve '.archive.ubuntu.com'
[16:36] <Samus_Aran> obviously there is no http://.archive.ubuntu.com, but still it is trying it several tiems
[16:36] <Samus_Aran> *times
[16:36] <burwaco>  compiz --replace && emerald --replace & << is that final & necessary ? don't I have to keep that terminal open then ?
[16:36] <CyberAgeVoodoo> chris7mas I already have that.
[16:36] <burwaco> Whitor:  compiz --replace && emerald --replace & << is that final & necessary ? don't I have to keep that terminal open then ?
[16:36] <CyberAgeVoodoo> thanks tho
[16:36] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi guys, don't kick me for this but how can I figure out if I should get a 32bit OS or 64bit?
[16:36] <Blahmon3000> how do i play my itunes music from ubuntu that has the drm that i paid for....??????
[16:36] <Chris7mas> ok
[16:37] <Samus_Aran> burwaco: the & tells it to run the command in background, meaning you can "exit" from the terminal and it will continue to run
[16:37] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Ar-Pharazon
[16:37] <Chris7mas> sorry i use ktorrent
[16:37] <Whitor> burwaco: that final & is necessary if you -don't want- to keep the window open ... leaving it off will tie the process to the terminal window
[16:37] <Samus_Aran> burwaco: do **not** close the terminal, using the [x] though.  that will forcibly kill all processes running in the terminal.  use "exit" or "logout"
[16:37] <cygnusfear> Hello everyone, I was going to post this on the forums but I thought I'd stop by in the IRC channel and see if anyone can help me to a quick solution; is there a way to make the middle mouse button close a program on the taskbar? (I have read this has been asked on the forums in 2006, and also added to launchpad blueprints, and tabconsistency has been suggested by Mark on the wiki)
[16:37] <riderrr> how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable?
[16:37] <CyberAgeVoodoo> i went with the 32bit one after problems with the java6 equiv for the 64b version
[16:37] <dcosson> in GNOME, is there a way to increase the SIZE of the Notification Area (systray) icons?
[16:38] <Ar-Pharazon> CyberAgeVoodoo, sorry?
[16:38] <burwaco> Whitor: Samus_Aran, ok I get it..., thx, I'm going to try ot out...
[16:38] <Ilya> hello :)
[16:38] <reya276> how can I give a directory and it's sub folders/files permission? I know is chmod 777 ....
[16:38] <jodde> Hey, do you guys know if intel duo-cores are 16 or 32 bit?
[16:38] <Chris7mas> chmod -r reya276
[16:38] <pike_> reya276: what directory is it under your home dir?
[16:39] <shishir> hey how to unhide folders command please
[16:39] <manchicken> Anybody know how to reinstall Ubuntu without killing /home?
[16:39] <Ar-Pharazon> Can anyone help me figure out whether I have a 32 bit or 64 bit processor? Please?
[16:39] <Guerra> Sigh. Ubuntu won't work for me.
[16:39] <reya276> Chris7mas: the directory is joomla so I'm trying to do a web install and it is not letting me
[16:39] <Guerra> Ar, what CPU do you have?
[16:39] <aie93> shishir: you can't "unhide" folders, but you can list them by doing "ls -a"
[16:39] <Guerra> do you know the name of it?
[16:40] <riderrr> how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable?
[16:40] <reya276> Chris7mas: because all the sub folders and files and unwritable
[16:40] <Guerra> Ar-Pharazon, what processor do you have?
[16:40] <Ar-Pharazon> Guerra, the sticker on my laptop says "Intel Centrino Duo".
[16:40] <aie93> does anyone know why on my laptop snd_rtctimer is locking /dev/rtc and it isn't on my desktop with an identical install of Gutsy?
[16:40] <Chris7mas> reya276: just try chmod -r +rw dir
[16:41] <reya276> thanks
[16:41] <drewzf> <3
[16:41] <Ilya> I'm trying to establish a VPN connection, but it doesn't work. I use pppd and it says it can't get reply for the server. Could someone help me?
[16:41] <pike_> reya276: 777 is a little generic and extream.. basically this is binary so you have 7 is you next 7 is your group perm  and next is others perm  if you ls -l youll see like --- --- --- so youve got 3 spots --1 is one 1-- is 4 111 is 7 so chmod 600 would do 11- --- --- and whatnot
[16:41] <drewzf> Where's shuttleworth when you want to bug him?
[16:41] <aie93> riderrr: just re-mount it
[16:41] <sladok13> abuteku
[16:41] <Guerra> Ar-Pharazon, it's 32 bit.
[16:41] <aie93> does anyone know why on my laptop snd_rtctimer is locking /dev/rtc and it isn't on my desktop with an identical install of Gutsy?
[16:42] <Cracker2> what was the path to add a domain zone ?
[16:42] <sladok13> ja und
[16:42] <Ar-Pharazon> Guerra: Thanks!

[16:42] <manchicken> Trying to figure out how to fresh-install Ubuntu without killing /home.....
[16:42] <sladok13> d
[16:42] <gryfie_> is it possible to force the ubuntu 7.1-live cd not to start into a x-desktop?
[16:42] <sladok13> d
[16:42] <sladok13> d
[16:42] <sladok13> d
[16:42] <manchicken> sladok13: Please stop that.
[16:42] <gryfie_> (into X, I mean ;) )
[16:43] <bloodniece> trying to get ubuntu to read an external USB drive, but it is a no go
[16:43] <manchicken> gryfie_: Try using the alternate image.
[16:43] <joar> manchicken: that would depend on your current partitioning scheme
[16:43] <aie93> manchicken: why do you want a fresh install for a start? and secondly you can just re-install but keep the / intact or you can copy your /home to a memory stick or other hdd
[16:43] <Chris7mas> gryfie_: you can try to make the /etc/init.d/gdm or kdm without executable permissions
[16:43] <manchicken> joar: All on one partition.  Didn't plan ahead very well :)
[16:43] <hammer123> bloodnice, me too having same problem
[16:43] <xmladdict> anyone know if its possible to use LVM in the "normal" desktop cd 7.10?
[16:43] <pike_> manchicken: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome  then just dont format home but tell the instlaler it is there
[16:43] <Chris7mas> or you mean at the installation?
[16:43] <reya276> Chris7mas:  rangeles@rangeles:~/public_html/web$ chmod -r +rw /joomla
[16:43] <reya276> chmod: cannot access `+rw': No such file or directory
[16:43] <reya276> chmod: cannot access `/joomla': No such file or directory
[16:43] <Guerra> Okay, so I'm getting the "black screen" when I'm trying to install. I've checked the forums but it seems none of the solutions help. Any ideas anyone? Trying to install Gutsy
[16:43] <Chris7mas> without the leading /
[16:44] <bloodniece> dmesg output: [  157.138411] usb 5-3.3: device not accepting address 15, error -71
[16:44] <Chris7mas> chmod -r +rw joomla
[16:44] <manchicken> aie93: Because I've been running this machine since Feisty, did a dist-upgrade when I was hacking for Gutsy, and now I'm getting all sorts of strange problems that nobody else can replicate.
[16:44] <aie93> Guerra: Are you using nVidia?
[16:44] <reya276> Chris7mas: ok let me try that
[16:44] <gryfie_> Chris7mas: At installation..... or to be more xact, when trying outr the live cd 1st time
[16:44] <aie93> Guerra: also check your usplash.conf file
[16:44] <Guerra> ATI Sapphire HD2900 pro
[16:44] <joar> manchicken: ok, you could solve that by creating you new home, copy current home to new home THEN reinstall, make sure you manually setup partitions and choose your new home as home..
[16:44] <Chris7mas> gryfie_: i think you need the alternate cd for that
[16:44] <Guerra> how do I check the ussplash.conf ?
[16:44] <Chris7mas> but not sure, didn't try it for some time
[16:44] <cygnusfear> manchicken, maybe this is a suggestion; http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[16:44] <aie93> Guerra: you can also add vga=791 to the boot line to get into some kind of display
[16:44] <burwaco> Whitor: Samus_Aran, I switched to metacity and tested urban terror, same story, artifacts and text is unreadable, I think it's due to xgl, how can I start a session without xgl ? is it possible ?
[16:44] <imscifi> How would one go back to the default gnome setup from install?  I've messed up the desktop effects and now can't seem to get them back...
[16:45] <xmladdict> anyone? lvm with normal desktop cd?
[16:45] <aie93> Guerra: if you boot a recovery console from Grub or your install disk you can then mount your root drive and edit the usplash.conf from the command line.  It's a known bug with Gutsy that this causes a blank screen.
[16:45] <Whitor> burwaco: I was sceptical that compiz was the source of the issue.... but it was worth trying out... Compiz is pretty stable these days in the face of even OpenGl apps
[16:45] <Guerra> Well, the thing is, I get the black screen, do ctrl alt F1
[16:45] <joar> manchicken: actually, that equals taking backup of home, reinstalling and doing a restore... not too elegant, but does the job
[16:45] <Guerra> and then it still hangs
[16:45] <mwest> imscifi: log out of X, log in on a virtual console, then "rm -rf .gnome*"?
[16:45] <Guerra> but with text on the screen
[16:46] <Guerra> How long does it take to boot the first time?
[16:46] <mmc> I use a non UTF rxvt. Thererfore  LANG=en_US.utf8 is not suitable.  But, if I set LANG=en_US,  perl & other programs start to complain that the locale is not installed. What should I install?
[16:46] <aie93> Guerra: a god tip to check if that is the issue is boot the computer and leave it 10 minutes, if ti boots then it's usplash.conf (it crashes after a while and carries on anyways)
[16:46] <Ilya> So noone knows anything about VPN... It's a sad thing indeed.
[16:46] <imscifi> mwest, I shall try that
[16:46] <xmladdict> Ilya: what about it?
[16:46] <burwaco> brb
[16:46] <Guerra> aie93, I left it on overnight and it was still stuck
[16:46] <Cracker2> where can i add a domain zone?!
[16:46] <Guerra> first at the black screen
[16:46] <manchicken> Interesting... this disk doesn't like my intel graphics...
[16:46] <joar> imscifi: try moving all you .gnome directories from your home folder (don't delete, but move, you may wanna move them back)
[16:46] <aie93> Guerra: where does the screen go black?
[16:46] <bullgard4> bulmer: The DEB program package 'powernowd' is installed. Where is the powernowd daemon?
[16:47] <matthias_> hallo
[16:47] <kharloss_> hi , i have  7.10 server installed . after a power failure some strange massages appear : " modprobe:warning L /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.save line 17 : ignoring bad line starting with ' etc/modprobe.d/aliases     any solution ?   my server doesn`t start anyway
[16:47] <matthias_> jmd deutschsprachiges hier?
[16:47] <Guerra> I can't remember the exact text sequence
[16:47] <bulmer> bullgard4-> do a  locate powernowd
[16:47] <aie93> Guerra: it starts to boot though?
[16:47] <coldboot> Is there some sort of guide that tells you what files to modify to change your $PATH, and other things, in a clean way in Ubuntu?
[16:47] <bloodniece> Can someone help me troubleshoot an external USB drive?
[16:47] <riderrr> aie93: i used diskmounter to mount it and tried to remount using the write option but it is still not letting me write to it
[16:47] <Guerra> Well
[16:47] <Guerra> it goes to install menu
[16:47] <xmladdict> Ilya: what is your question regarding vpn?
[16:47] <coldboot> I know I can throw it in .bashrc or .profile, but what's the preferred place?
[16:47] <Guerra> then gives me all this text or loading screen
[16:47] <aie93> Guerra: have you tried to boot into the (recovery mode) in the grub boot menu?
[16:47] <Ilya> tried to establish a VPN connection. Used pppd. It says LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests in the end ^(
[16:48] <Guerra> There is no recovery mode
[16:48] <Ilya> And I do not know why ^(
[16:48] <bullgard4> bulmer: locate does not look for processes but for filenames only.
[16:48] <Guerra> on the list
[16:48] <Guerra> I'm a 100% linux noob.
[16:48] <xmladdict> Ilya: ah, i'm not familiar wiv the pppd kind, only ssl & to a certain extent ipsec
[16:48] <Guerra> Well, not quite, used to use redhat, but I didn't have to install it.
[16:48] <Guerra> haha
[16:48] <aie93> Guerra: are you trying to load the Live Image off a CD or have you actually installed the system?
[16:48] <bulmer> bullgard4-> you were asking for where the file is?
[16:48] <Guerra> I'm trying to install it.
[16:48] <Guerra> off live CD
[16:49] <Guerra> Core 2 duo, 64 bit version. Desktop
[16:49] <Guerra> 7.10
[16:49] <aie93> Guerra: Ah, right... Have you got the correct disc for your CPU?
[16:49] <Guerra> with ATI/AMD 2900 vid card
[16:49] <pike_> coldboot: usually i just edit .bashrc and add a new value for PATH. easisest way might be to do an echo "export PATH=$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc  then edit the .bashrc file
[16:49] <sanguisdex> is there a termenal w/ predictive text
[16:49] <bulmer> Ilya-> looks like the handshake during establishment of ppp is not quiet complete
[16:49] <Guerra> Yes, 64 bit processor
[16:49] <xmladdict> anyone know if i can install lvm with the live cd? i can't find that option
[16:49] <aie93> Guerra: I have no idea if the 64-bit version of Ubuntu runs on 64-bit Intel...
[16:49] <dracan> where I can play movies in AVI format??
[16:49] <bullgard4> bulmer: No I did ask why I cannot find the powernowd process (although the powerdnowd DEB program package is installed).
[16:49] <Guerra> People have confirmed it does.

[16:49] <xmladdict> Guerra: if you have no pressing reason, i would stick to 32 bit
[16:50] <sasch> hi all
[16:50] <bulmer> bullgard4-> you ought to know by now to find a running process use the ps command
[16:50] <dracan> gracias
[16:50] <Guerra> Would using alternate over the live CD be better?
[16:50] <aie93> Guerra: try the 32-bit version (it will work on 64 or 32 bit processors) or you can try the Alternative Install disc, that may help
[16:50] <nixn00b> how can i stop mounted removable media from showing on the desktop?
[16:50] <aie93> nixn00b: good question, but i have no idea :P
[16:50] <Guerra> downloading alternate x86 right now
[16:50] <Ilya> bulmer: well it's not handshake. I get no response form server at all. And I tried tcpdump -i eth0. It doesn't show anything
[16:50] <Guerra> hopefully it works
[16:50] <bullgard4> bulmer: There is a legitimate alternative to ps. I used this alternative.
[16:50] <aie93> Guerra: hopefully that'll do the job... If not come back :D
[16:50] <Guerra> would be nice to use all 64 bit though, I do animation.
[16:51] <Guerra> and it helps quite a bit when rendering
[16:51] <bloodniece> In regards to USB: what does device not accepting address mean?
[16:51] <bulmer> Ilya-> so you're saying the pppd is not even running yet?
[16:52] <aie93> Guerra: it depends on the applications you use, not all of them actually use all 64-bits and the AMD processors use their 64-bit functionality in 32-bit mode for integer maths, not sure about Intel, but it shouldn't make a huge difference
[16:52] <Guerra> Sigh. If I ever become rich, I'm going to finance a linux only PC game.
[16:52] <Guerra> Blender3d does
[16:52] <aie93> bloodneice: I wouldn't worry about that error, it happens all the time... doesn't stop it working.
[16:52] <bloodniece> My external USB drive is not recognized
[16:53] <Guerra> aie93, what do you know about DX10 for linux?
[16:53] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, what type of drive (cd, floppy, flash)
[16:53] <aie93> bloodniece: did you try and plug it in before the computer booted?  On my laptop the USB breaks if I do that...
[16:53] <aie93> Guerra: no idea about DX10 on linux other than Cedega
[16:53] <bloodniece> webwolf_27: external sata to USB
[16:53] <ezguy> hi, will 500mb be enough for installing?
[16:54] <bloodniece> aie93: both
[16:54] <Norrel> ezguy: not likely
[16:54] <Guerra> There is some team trying to work on it, but it seems it might be a scam for publicity and donations.
[16:54] <Norrel> if you aren't doing some minimal install
[16:54] <ezguy> what is the min size?
[16:54] <Ilya> bulmer: I start pppd (pppd call connection debug nodetach). It sends packets to server. But server doesnt respond.
[16:54] <bloodniece> aie93: I should note, it has never worked
[16:54] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, on gutsy?
[16:54] <aie93> bloodniece: have you tried any other devices?
[16:54] <bloodniece> yes, gutsy
[16:55] <bloodniece> yes, other devices work
[16:55] <bloodniece> sata drive works when attached to motherboard
[16:55] <ezguy> Norrel?
[16:55] <ezguy> 1gb?
[16:55] <Norrel> ezguy: Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.
[16:55] <bulmer> bullgard4-> man pgrep
[16:55] <ezguy> holly cow.
[16:56] <Guerra> Anyone have experience with XP/Ubuntu/Vista triple booting?
[16:56] <Norrel> ezguy: but I bet you can go with 500 megs if you use some minidistro
[16:56] <Norrel> ezguy: like fluxbuntu
[16:56] <bulmer> Ilya-> is the server in a remote location?
[16:56] <aie93> bloodniece: same category as my ENE Technology SD and MS reader then... useless for now :(
[16:56] <ezguy> ok
[16:56] <bloodniece> aie93: chipset is Argosy Research, never heard  of it
[16:56] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, is the jumper removed from the drive before you put it into the usb
[16:56] <Ilya> bulmer -> yes. I have no access to it. But I can ping it.
[16:56] <Norrel> ezguy: xubuntu requires 1.5 G
[16:57] <bloodniece> webwolf_27: yes, it is unjumpered
[16:57] <xmladdict> can ubuntu work with swap placed in LVM?
[16:57] <matthias_> got a prog with my mic: hearing myself through soundoutput, independent on running programs
[16:57] <bulmer> Ilya-> well that can be a problem if you cant access the server...anyone on the other end to activate the pppd on it?
[16:57] <PirateHead> Can anybody suggest a BSD-licensed or public domain (basically non-copyleft) audio library?
[16:57] <jorik808> how do i find the sourcecode of a package i installed ?
[16:57] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, can you mount it by hand?
[16:58] <aie93> bloodniece: sorry, i haven't.. try submitting it to the device database, someone may write the driver for it then?
[16:58] <PirateHead> jorik808: usually by instaling the (packagename)-dev source package
[16:58] <jorik808> PirateHead, heh, im starting to tweak with audio too
[16:58] <bulmer> jorik808-> if you use synaptic does it give you the option to load the source?
[16:58] <bloodniece> webwolf_27:  not sure, havent tried
[16:58] <PirateHead> jorik808: what library are you using?
[16:58] <Ilya> bulmer -> no, but when I try to make this connection from windows it goes fine. So server obviously works.
[16:58] <jodde> I was wrong about Debian package manager handling gzips.
[16:58] <bloodniece> webwolf_27: where would it be in /dev/ ?
[16:58] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, that would be my first suggestion
[16:58] <bullgard4> bulmer: You suggested a 3rd command. All three obtain the same result. Is it difficult for you to understand that there is no process 'powernowd'? Can you answer the question which I put at the outset or can you not?
[16:58] <jodde> Is there anything that will install gzips automatically?
[16:59] <jorik808> PirateHead, i need to write my own code (it's for school), but iam looking at example source code here and there
[16:59] <jodde> Any scripts or anything?
[16:59] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, dev/sd??
[16:59] <soho> how to get umlaute (äöü) working in the ubuntu shell (tty)?
[16:59] <PirateHead> jorik808: cool.
[16:59] <jodde> Also, does anyone know how I can get deatils on what processor I have?
[16:59] <jorik808> iam thinking i will do the project in Haskell, generate LPCM and send it to /dev/dsp, but iam still looking for the excact formats i have to use
[16:59] <matthias_> problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs
[16:59] <bulmer> bullgard4-> i already told you, to find a running process you use ps, what are you really looking for?
[17:00] <Vorondil> Hi all.  Does the smbprint.sysv script provided by samba come in ubuntu's package or do I need to grab their tarball if I need it?
[17:00] <xmladdict> can ubuntu work with swap placed in LVM? (ive read problems about hibernation etc)
[17:00] <webwolf_27> jodde, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:00] <aie93> anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc
[17:00] <Cracker2> where can i add a domain zone?!
[17:00] <bloodniece> trying to mount by hand, brb
[17:00] <bulmer> bullgard4-> and with an attitude like that, am not that enthusiastic to assist you
[17:00] <jorik808> i also checked out LADSPA for some example code on how to do effects and such ... it's pretty much what i expected; but it's in c++ (YUK)
[17:00] <bullgard4> bulmer: I am looking for an answer on the question which I put at the outset.
[17:00] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, ok
[17:00] <aie93> anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc
[17:00] <Pici> Vorondil: Looks like its in the samba-doc package, I dont know if the regular samba package uses it since we use upstart.
[17:01] <bulmer> bullgard4-> can you repeat the question? lots of questions scrolled by
[17:01] <snake_> hi
[17:02] <jodde> Cflushsize = 64, does that mean my processors are 64 bit?
[17:02] <jeboz> hi can someone pleaee point me in the right direction for installing new ubuntu
[17:02] <snake_> i wanted to know if there is any problem with the servers because i cant update
[17:02] <bullgard4>  bulmer: The DEB program package 'powernowd' is installed. Where is the powernowd  daemon?
[17:02] <Vorondil> Pici: Gotcha.  For future reference, how did you look that up?
[17:02] <xmladdict> jeboz: www.ubuntu.com
[17:02] <soho> how to get umlaute (äöü) working in the ubuntu shell (tty)?
[17:02] <Pici> snake_: I believe there is an issue with the de. servers.
[17:02] <Pici> Vorondil: apt-file search smbprint.sysv
[17:02] <jeboz> xmladdict, i cant get the disk to load, its just a black screen
[17:02] <snake_> Pici: any server is down or just the de servers
[17:02] <JustinAllen> inxane: hey...i found a bug on launchpad for the NikonD40 not working :D
[17:02] <unf> im havin some problems installind kde4 from the repositories, i followed the instructions in kubuntu.org, but it didnt work. i dont have kde.desktop nor startkde in kde4 directory.. any idea?
[17:03] <webwolf_27> jodde, I'm guessing yes
[17:03] <Pici> snake_: Just the de ones I think.
[17:03] <bulmer> bullgard4-> we already established it is not running by using ps, now to find a file, you use locate or "find"
[17:03] <xmladdict> jeboz: you tried "safe graphics mode"?
[17:03] <yaser> may I uncompress Ubuntu DVD, add some debs and then make the new ISO?
[17:03] <Pici> unf: Have you asked in #kubuntu, they're better at the KDE questions.
[17:03] <jeboz> ive even tried txt only mode
[17:03] <snake_> Pici: i got problems with all of them
[17:03] <Ilya>  bulmer -> no, but when I try to make this connection from windows it goes fine. So server obviously works.
[17:03] <joar> soho: you could try this in a terminal '# apt-cache search locale | grep 'your nationality'
[17:03] <xmladdict> jeboz: maybe you should consider the "alternate" cd?
[17:03] <Pici> !locales | soho
[17:03] <ubotu> soho: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[17:03] <snake_> Pici: what do you have. what do you use so i can try them ?
[17:03] <unf> Pici, yep, twice, but none answers me :(
[17:03] <bullgard4> bulmer: My impression is that we turn in circles. --  Thank you.
[17:03] <Vorondil> Pici: Nice!  apt-file is my new best friend.  Thanks. :)
[17:03] <matthias_> problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs
[17:03] <jeboz> xml i am using the alternate cd now, its the smae,
[17:03] <kanzie> Im trying to delete songs on my iPod using Rhytmbox but it does not seem to really delete them becayse I dont get more space on the drive
[17:03] <xmladdict> jeboz: also, you may want to check if all your hardware works under linux
[17:04] <drama1981> has anybody else tried to add kde and ended up with what seems to be the contents of kcontrol under apps/other in gnome?
[17:04] <aie93> anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc
[17:04] <bulmer> Ilya-> do you know if the windows client first establishes a ppp link and then the vpn?
[17:04] <Pici> unf: You may have to relogin after you do that.
[17:04] <xmladdict> jeboz: at which point exactly do you get a black screen?
[17:04] <jeboz> xml, it works under the older versions, even installs live cd but nothing works
[17:04] <Pici> snake_: I picked a mirror out of System>Administration>Software Sources
[17:04] <jeboz> xml i get the black screen at startup
[17:04] <xmladdict> jeboz: try ctrl+alt+F1
[17:04] <snake_> Pici: but are they sure theyr working ?? how can i try them
[17:04] <snake_> ??
[17:04] <xmladdict> jeboz: if it works, it will get you a commandline
[17:05] <bloodniece> webwolf_27: any way to find out the filesystem? not sure if this one was ext3 or reiser
[17:05] <joar> soho: install what ever hits you get related to language and your nationality (+ figure out if it's relevant for your system, e.g. install openofice locale if your using openoffice) ;)
[17:05] <Ilya> bulmer -> have no idea :(. I use built - in client.
[17:05] <matthias_> problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs
[17:05] <Pici> snake_: If you use the 'find fastest mirror' it will check them first.
[17:05] <susscorfa> hmm maybe a bit technical question but why does the updateer (feisty -> gutsty) update the font cache multiple times and not one time at the end
[17:05] <burwaco> ok, found a solution to play the game...
[17:05] <jeboz> xlml ill give it a shot and hope it works

[17:06] <soho> joar; Pici thanks. the solution is sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[17:06] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, you shouldn't need it. how many sdx's so you have
[17:06] <bulmer> Ilya-> then find out what is behind it so you can do same in linux
[17:06] <joar> soho: cool, and thnx to you ;)
[17:06] <matthias_> problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs
[17:06] <bloodniece> webwolf_27: 8
[17:06] <drama1981> has anybody else tried to add kde and ended up with what seems to be the contents of kcontrol under apps/other in gnome? or should i go to #kubuntu ?
[17:06] <nws> is there a way to force network manager to update?
[17:07] <joar> matthias_: what do you mean ? you wanna turn off your mic ?
[17:07] <joar> or is it the other way around +
[17:07] <jodde> Okay.
[17:07] <nws> let me try again, is there a way to force network manager to update all of its IP and DNS settings?
[17:07] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, do you know which one the drive is
[17:07] <Ilya> bulmer -> tcpdump shows that nothing is sent outside, then I try to establish VPN. Maybe something stops packet wihich are sent by pppd?
[17:07] <jodde> I'm running Ubuntu as though it were using 32 bit processors.
[17:07] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, brb
[17:07] <kharloss_> hi , i have  7.10 server installed . after a power failure some strange massages appear : " modprobe:warning L /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.save line 17 : ignoring bad line starting with ' etc/modprobe.d/aliases     any solution ?   my server doesn`t start anyway
[17:08] <jodde> Would I get more speed if I installed a 64 bit kernel?
[17:08] <MystaMax> nws, sudo NetworkManager restart
[17:08] <nws> MystaMax: thanks
[17:08] <Ilya> bulmer -> I ment when i try to establish a connection
[17:08] <webwolf_27> jodde, not noticably
[17:08] <bulmer> Ilya-> my understanding of vpn's are the ppp connections have to be established first, then the proprietary vpn stuff
[17:08] <jodde> What if anything would it do for me?
[17:08] <SeanTater> jodde: Only for extremely optimized math programs for the most part
[17:09] <joerack> Hello can anybody help me with vmware tools installation?
[17:09] <SeanTater> jodde: nothing else will be noticibly faster
[17:09] <jodde> Would it be more stable?
[17:09] <jodde> Or would graphics be faster/more stable?
[17:09] <SeanTater> jodde: No.
[17:10] <Ilya> bulmer -> after ppp connection is established ppp0 interfacer should appear. And it doesn't. So I cant even establish ppp connection
[17:10] <wolfspirit> ok.. very annoying.. how do I disable the screens and graphics section and just use manual mode.. I don't want an application modifying the settings for me
[17:10] <matthias_> joar: dont wanna hear myself, but record my voice
[17:10] <crdlb> jodde: there are more problems with 64bit than benefits
[17:10] <SeanTater> jodde: Some videos that worked before might not even worn on 64 bit
[17:10] <jodde> What about multitasking?
[17:10] <matthias_> for skyping
[17:10] <SeanTater>  /worn/work/
[17:10] <SeanTater> jodde: zilch
[17:10] <joar> joerack: are U running gutsy ? 'cause after upgrading to gutsy I got the same problem ...
[17:10] <bluekoala> Damn
[17:10] <joerack> gutsy yep
[17:10] <bluekoala> Why can't I connect to Dalnet with Xchat??
[17:11] <bluekoala> It keeps saying I'm banned from Dalnet =[
[17:11] <bluekoala> No reason given
[17:11] <joar> joerack: hmm, on my box it fails when compiling the network module
[17:11] <jodde> Thanks guys.
[17:11] <SeanTater> jodde: The only real problem with 32-bit is that  the clock will tack back to 1970 at a certain second in 2038.
[17:11] <snake_> can anyone give me the default sources list for kubuntu gutsy ??
[17:11] <Pici> bluekoala: do you expect us to know why?
[17:11] <SeanTater>  /tick/
[17:11] <jodde> Hey, do you guys know of any program to automatically install programs from gzips?
[17:11] <joerack> joar:  I can't even start the installation lol... mind passing me the command line please
[17:11] <SeanTater> jodde: you don't need one
[17:11] <SeanTater> !apt |jodde
[17:11] <ubotu> jodde: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[17:12] <FluxD> !w32codecs
[17:12] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[17:12] <wolfspirit> I'm having the worst time trying to get compiz and dual screens working with my ati under gutsy gibbon.. there are a bunch of forum postings but none of that worked.. anyone else have these same issues.. if so can you offer some advice?
[17:12] <Thecks> SeanTater: You think by the year 2030 that anybody will still have a 32 bit PC? ;)
[17:12] <bluekoala> pici: yes? maybe? If it happens to be a comon problem
[17:12] <chicony> hi all
[17:12] <joar> joerack: oki, have you downloaded it by .deb ? or source ?
[17:12] <Thecks> We will all be on 512 Quantum computers by then
[17:12] <SeanTater> Thecks: I imagine some people running 8 and 16 bit OS's thought 32 bit would never come in handy
[17:12] <jack> a bit OT, but i installed boa constructor on gutsy, and it seems that it does not have a way of importing xml files (there was a beta version that i used under feisty that did).  does anyone know of a way to do this in gutsy?
[17:12] <bluekoala> Pici: Are you using xchat?
[17:12] <Pici> bluekoala: no, I am not.
[17:12] <bluekoala> Ahh
[17:12] <webwolf_27> jodde, not by just replacing the kernal with a 64 bit
[17:12] <joar> joerack: .deb would be 'sudo dpkg -i vmware-version.deb'
[17:12] <SeanTater> Thecks: Silicon will be outdated by then, maybe even optics, who knows
[17:12] <webwolf_27> bloodniece, I'm back
[17:13] <joerack> joar:  you're installing the emulator or the vmwaretools?
[17:13] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know how to choose which apt (package) mirror Ubuntu uses ?  my Ubuntu seems to think that my default repo is "" (blank), so I am unable to upgrade to Gutsy
[17:13] <mrlinux> anyone here a slackware fan?
[17:13] <joerack> joar:  I think you misunderstood lol
[17:13] <Samus_Aran> mrlinux: sure
[17:13] <joar> joerack: I think so too
[17:13] <Zippy2> omg yes!
[17:13] <Zippy2> there's a mac trojan!
[17:13] <joar> joerack: for vmware tools I issue as root '# vmware-tools-install.pl'
[17:13] <joerack> joar: I have it installed already... i'm trying to install the video card
[17:14] <webwolf_27> Zippy2, just 1?
[17:14] <snake_> Samus_Aran: i have the same problem . i think the servers are not working
[17:14] <joar> joerack: ah, you are inside a virtual machine ?
[17:14] <jodde> Okay, so how do I use aptitude to install from a Gzip?
[17:14] <Pici> jodde: you dont.
[17:14] <Samus_Aran> snake_: I found a bug report on it.  it seems like there is some sort of automatic country detection thing, but it is somewhat broken.  I was hoping there was a way to override it by setting some config file
[17:14] <webwolf_27> jodde, as far as I know you can't
[17:14] <jodde> That and what the hell is a supercow?  Are we talking about a cow with an S on cape which enables it to fly?

A strange symphtom is that the status-LEDs on the card doesn't flash, not even when I boot. Tried the card in another comp. also running gutsy, and there the LEDs flashed during the boot-sequence...

[17:16] <bulmer> mrlinux-> typically  /etc/init.d/daemonnameorservicename  stop
[17:16] <xmladdict> jaym: that means the window is busy
[17:16] <Pici> jaym: It means its become unresponsive.
[17:17] <limen> webwolf_27, how do I see if its not?
[17:17] <jaym> why does it happen so often?
[17:17] <amishninja> How would one go about setting up an external monitor to work with ubuntu? (I'm using it on my laptop right now and I have a bigger monitor plugged into the video card)

[17:17] <ezguy> anyone where i can find a mirror link
[17:18] <webwolf_27> limen, for that specific card, I don't know. Find out the name of the firmware in question then rund a locate on it
[17:18] <bulmer> mrlinux-> you wrote the script yourself and have the options for starting and stopping it? then run the script with stop options

[17:18] <stianiquniez> hello. can somebody help me whit a internet problem whit my ubuntu ? it was working yesterday, and now it dont, but on windows in vmware its working, someone who know what the problem can be ?
[17:18] <snake_> Samus_Aran: what config do i have to do because none is working for me
[17:18] <joar> joerack: in linux I usually mount the linux.iso file, that came together with vmware setup files, as a cd-rom for the ubuntu VM
[17:18] <ezguy> got it.
[17:18] <Pici> !hdbig | kadakas
[17:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hdbig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[17:18] <ubotu> kadakas: Ubuntu does *not* modify hard-drive lifespans by default. An analysis from an Ubuntu Technical Board member and ACPI expert can be found at http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77672.html (See https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html and http://tinyurl.com/2vyrft for more information)
[17:18] <bastid_raZor> i have dual monitors and the 2nd monitor desktop is actually bigger than the screen. meaning i move my mouse to the main top and it will scroll a bit.
[17:18] <snake_> Samus_Aran: can you tell me how to do the trick so i have the updates working
[17:19] <joar> joerack: when linux.iso is mounted to the virtual machin, you'll have to run some scripts that you'll find on the cd
[17:19] <amishninja> bastid: how did you get your 2nd monitor set up in the first place? that's what I'm trying to do.
[17:19] <mrlinux> that sysv-rc-conf is a debian script u can download
[17:19] <mrlinux> not my script
[17:19] <joerack> joar: I know I mounted the iso too .. and did sudo sh ./vmware-tools.pl     It starts the installation and then says:   but it say not found not found etc etc
[17:19] <RoAkSoAx> mrlinux, which service you want to stop?
[17:19] <joar> joerack: ok
[17:20]  * Seeker` returns! Again!
[17:20] <joar> joerack: have you found the linux.iso image that came with the setup files ?
[17:20] <bastid_raZor> amishninja, xinerama.. i set it up by the GUI tool in gutsy
[17:20] <leo_rockw> hello everyone. what console command can i use to look for a string in text files?
[17:20] <mrlinux> just curious all active running services aka daemons are always located in /etc/init.d?
[17:20] <Pici> leo_rockw: grep string filename
[17:20] <joerack> joar: yes it appeared after i chose to install the vmware tools .. uncompressed the tar.gz and opened
[17:20] <mrlinux> grep may
[17:21] <leo_rockw> thank you Pici
[17:21] <nixn00b> how can i stop mounted removable media from showing on the desktop?
[17:21] <joar> joerack: mount linux.iso to ubuntu VM, goto ubuntu VM, access image (cd) and there are a script there, that'll do it
[17:21] <joerack> joar: the rpm you mean?
[17:21] <amishninja> Hmm... loading Xinerama doesn't seem to work for me
[17:21] <joar> joerack: ah, ok , you've opened the tar.gz file ?
[17:21] <RoAkSoAx> mrlinux, you can also use: update-rc.d to remove or add scripts / services from startup process
[17:22] <joar> joerack: yes, you could convert the rpm to deb, that usually works too
[17:22] <bastid_raZor> amishninja, gutsy did it all. i didn't really do anything
[17:22] <mrlinux> thx
[17:22] <Tyrel> hi
[17:22] <uplinked> hi, the compiz update from yesterday broke my compiz, and I no longer have desktop effects. can anyone help?
[17:22] <joerack> joar: yeah good idea.. alien is the program right?
[17:22] <amishninja> okay
[17:22] <joar> joerack: yes :)
[17:23] <joar> joerack: vmware-tools-install.pl = installed on host computer (e.g. Linux as host)
[17:23] <joerack> joar: i'll now solve your problem in thanks ;)
[17:23] <joar> joerack: great
[17:24] <amishninja> How would one go about setting up an external monitor to work with Feisty ubuntu? (I'm using it on my laptop right now and I have a bigger monitor plugged into the video card)
[17:24] <mrlinux> uplinked you can reinstall your desktop apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or just uninstall and reinstall compiz
[17:24] <kadakas> is ubuntu 7.10 considered a "stable" in Debian terms ?

[17:25] <burwaco> humboldt: you can read it in fstab ?
[17:26] <webwolf_27> limen, can you read gernam?
[17:26] <inxane> anyone using a Treo 700p with Ubuntu?

[17:29] <pirate_> I was playing the Manhunt 2 game, used the patcher to make the ISO uncensored and then I compressed it to cso... and I played through the first level no problem... but when I saved at the mission end my psp locked up so I reset it and now I can load the save file in manhunt 2 but when I click 'continue treatment' it locks up again
[17:29] <pirate_> wrong channel, sorry
[17:29] <burwaco> ghost: no, but if you find out let me know... :-)
[17:29] <leo_rockw> ghost: i tried uswsusp and that "kinda" worked for me
[17:29] <leo_rockw> ghost: (only if i kill X first)
[17:29] <limen> webwolf_27, No sorry, my deutch-skills are rather crappy. The prism-modules are loaded. But would that really affect the LEDs flashing during bootup?

[17:30] <ghost> Oh ok
[17:30] <elmix> heya... could someone please help.. I am running Gutsy atm, and I truly enjoy playing Enemy Territory.. During these last few days I've been strugling with the ping issues.. The problem is that in about every 10 seconds a huge lag "spike" occurs which makes the playing almost impossible.. I think it has something to do with the programs / processes running in the background but I don't know what to do (i'm a linuxnoob:P)..
[17:30] <ghost> I saw some intricate articles on the ubuntu forums, but they seemed out of date
[17:30] <webwolf_27> limen, probably, you obviosly can use a hardware that the kernal can't talk to
[17:30] <ghost> uswsusp, is that software
[17:31] <leo_rockw> ghost: yeah... s2ram, s2disk and s2both

[17:32] <limen> webwolf_27, but its strange that the card works on my other computer when they have the same configuration
[17:32] <webwolf_27> limen, same distro and version? exact same card?
[17:32] <Pici> onialb: If you dont get an answer here, I'd try asking in #kubuntu too

[17:33] <joar> joerack: huh ?
[17:33] <joerack> bah.. the server is blocking my private message
[17:33] <limen> webwolf_27, yes installed from the same disc :) And yes the same card
[17:34] <joerack> joar: I have a file that will sort your vmware but I can't send it lol
[17:34] <webwolf_27> limen, because there are two versions. v1 works. v2 is a paperweight
[17:34] <joar> joerack: ah, I see
[17:34] <Pici> srujan: conio.h is usually used on Windows for compiling, I think the mingw32-runtime package provides it, but you may have to do some research
[17:34] <joerack> joar: enter dalnet a sec ok
[17:34] <joar> joerack: how big is it ? oki
[17:35] <srujan> ok thanks pici
[17:36] <monkey_> how come mozilla is not in the repository? i am referring to sea monkey
[17:36] <limen> webwolf_27, yes I've read that. And its the V.1 I got. But I checked the hardware information now and it seems like the computer for some reason recognizes the card as V.2.. Maybe I screwed it all up trying to get it working... Maybe a reinstall would help..
[17:36] <joerack> joar: enter efnet I can't get into dalnet lol

[17:39] <limen> webwolf_27, OK, I just reinstall and hope that'll do it.. Thanks for all the help!
[17:39] <Pici> frojnd: make sure that you installed xserver-xgl and try again, you will have to restart gdm first though
[17:39] <transcube> Does anyone know anything about installing ubuntu onto a software raid through the ubuntu partitioner?

[17:39] <martin_> irc://irc.263.net
[17:39] <youknowme> pici, yes. but that shouldn't matter. I downloaded the linux version, I shouldn't NEED wine therefore I doubt it is using it..
[17:39] <Neodudeman> so what's the deal with ubuntu killing the hard drive? http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258
[17:39] <joerack> ok
[17:39] <Pici> youknowme: Huh? You just said you ran an exe file.
[17:39] <monkey_> is there ubuntu for japan?
[17:39] <transcube> i installed ubuntu into a raid (it was part of the partitioner) in 6.06 and im now using the 7.10 amd dvd.
[17:39] <frojnd> Pici, I have allready installed xserver-xgl
[17:39] <webwolf_27> limen, No problem. I've still got a netgear here I've been trying to get working
[17:40] <youknowme> pici, exactly. http://pastebin.com/d457253c4
[17:40] <youknowme> pici, I'm thinking, wft!
[17:41] <frojnd> any other suggestions why I can't get back to login screen after I've installed ati restricted drivers and also xserver-xgl (I have mobility x1400) ??

[17:43] <transcube> Anyone know how to install ubuntu 7.10 onto a software raid using the ubuntu partitioner?
[17:43] <Pici> youknowme: Perhaps its just a shell script renamed as an exe
[17:43] <rjune__> is there a command to control what services start and stop in ubuntu? something ala chkconfig?
[17:44] <transcube> rjune__: they're all in /etc/init.d
[17:44] <rjune__> or howot find out what runlevel a system is at? there's no /etc/inittab on my system
[17:44] <pike_> rjune__: bum is a nice front end to update-rc.d havent used bum myself
[17:44] <youknowme> pici, idk, could be, I'm just confused lol. Oh well.
[17:44] <Pici> youknowme: it would be weird, I agree.
[17:45] <kharloss> how can you explain this ?

[17:45] <kharloss> Reply from 172.16.12.14: Destination host unreachable.
[17:45] <pike_> rjune__: to remove a prog from startup 'sudo update-rc.d -f scriptname remove' to add one sudo update-rc.d -f scriptname defaults  <-- that is very basic usage and i think syntax is right
[17:45] <moosky> rjune__: the scripts that are started are to be found in /etc/init.d and you can add and remove them with update-rc.d
[17:45] <rjune__> transcube: that's where the startup scripts are, but I want the command to tell it to start the script on boot. something like update-rc.d, thanks pike_

[17:49] <vilenjak23BG> is it tru that there are no updates for gutsy in last week
[17:49] <amadeux> When I receive a message in a pidgin window that is not the active window, I have an unread message, of course. This makes the pidgin entry in the gnome task list "blink", just like in Windows. Except the effekt is barely noticable in gnome, it kinda fades slowly in and out, not something that grabs my attention. Can I change this effect to something more attention-grabbing?
[17:49] <neverblue> vilenjak23BG, I havent had one
[17:49] <John_R> kharloss: what serviecs is the remote box running that you know of? scan the subnet for that service's ports and you can narrow it down
[17:49] <Sandig2> gah, router just rebooted itself

[17:51] <vilenjak23BG> yes, I checked, and it said that my system is up-to-date, but the thing that was bothering me was the fact that updating from beta to final took almost 1GB of updates,... so I expected more
[17:51] <dr2> nautilus won't launch when I double click it or enter it from the command line -- how do I fix this?
[17:51] <vilenjak23BG> thanks
[17:51] <Sandig2> can anyone help me... pm?
[17:51] <John_R> xisco: the regular network settings should let you set all that up

[18:04] <gerro> bobgill: use fdisk command and t to change type
[18:04] <xisco> gerro, wireless
[18:04] <gonzzy> format NTFS? is possible under linux?
[18:04] <joar> Sandig2: i'd take a backup list of the packages installed currently, 'sudo dpkg -l >installed_packages.txt' should fix that
[18:04] <MystaMax> Shift+ZZ to save and Shift+ZQ to quit
[18:04] <MystaMax> pretty easy
[18:04] <gerro> bobgill: fdisk /dev/* with * being the device. Its rather easy explains as you go just do w when your done to write changes
[18:04] <Pici> !samba | thing
[18:04] <ginvent> I just installed ubuntu server 7.10 and can't use sudo...

[18:05] <joar> Sandig2: your desktop settings won't be gone, they're saved in ~.gnome-something, as long as you don't purge them they'll be there until next time you've installed
[18:05] <gonzzy> thanks
[18:05] <miky3d> ciao a tutti

[18:06] <CubeXombi> I've gotten my WIFI to connect to my router with no encryption yet i cannot surf/ping (even by ip) any idea?
[18:06] <quidpro> amadeux I like AWN too, but if you don't want to mess with your bottom panel then the plugins might be another option. it is in the repos as pidgin-plugin-pack
[18:07] <uplinked> mrlinux, I reinstalled compiz and restarted the computer; still no luck.
[18:07] <joar> CubeXombi: dows your wifi card have any IP ?
[18:07] <thing> ok, where do i get SWAT?
[18:07] <gonzzy> I need an xorg.org example for this: NVIDIA + Tv Out + another videoboard (=> 2 monitors + 1 Tv). The utility in 7.10 doesn´t work well in my case
[18:07] <quidpro> one of the plugins is guification whcih allows you to get popups of pretty much whatever you want...
[18:07] <CubeXombi> joar yeah I'm getting a 10.0.0.103 from my router, though i can't ping it
[18:08] <jaga_> Using ubuntu 7.10, is there a way to modify the keymappings that interact with compviz? I'm using synergy from a mac and I want to swap alt+tab and super+tab. Along the same lines, are there settings that would allow me to tell super+tab to include windows from all desktops?
[18:08] <joar> CubeXombi: in a terminal typing 'ifconfig' should show you, in the same terminal typing 'iwconfig' should show which card is the wifi card
[18:08] <Sandig2> when tasksel's progress bar is at 100% and it says 'Installed [package]' does that mean it's actually done?
[18:08] <MystaMax> jaga_, ccsm!

I may try a static Ip and see what i can do that way..

[18:21] <DWells55> Hey, got a quick question before I install and was wondering if I could get some advice
[18:21] <vilenjak23BG> what could generally be the problem?
[18:21] <CubeXombi> damn wireless.. gott reboot
[18:21] <_david_> ola
[18:21] <bee1> can someone help me with something... i am new to linux completely
[18:21] <TeeCee---> bee1: what?
[18:21] <Va1> Sure, just ask.
[18:22] <nitro_> I at all, who can tell me a name for free antivirus for ubuntu?
[18:22] <joar> CubeXombi: ok, can't see any rt8185 modules there, thought maby rt = ralink chip, but misunderstood I think
[18:22] <DWells55> I currently have the entire hard drive partitioned as a single NTFS partition for Windows - would you recommend I install partition magic and resize or just use the Ubuntu installer
[18:22] <padan> what virus's are you trying to protect yourself from?
[18:22] <Va1> Nitro: you don't need one - see 'keeping my computer safe' under help and support in System.
[18:22] <kane77> bee1, please don't ask to ask...
[18:22] <neverblue> DWells55, are you willing to lose all the data ?
[18:22] <Pici> DWells55: Either one should work, but I reccomend defragging first.
[18:22] <joar> CubeXombi: anyway, those modules made my card stabile in feisty
[18:22] <JamesG_> Can anyone tell me where the default runlevel is specified in ubuntu? I'm used to inittab which seems to have gone the way of the dodo.
[18:22] <DWells55> Nope, not willing to lose the data, want to set up a dual boot
[18:22] <padan> james, 5
[18:23] <JamesG_> padan: Not what it is, where it's specified.
[18:23] <kane77> bee1, just ask your question
[18:23] <JamesG_> padan: As in, which config file
[18:23] <bee1> ok thanks, i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and my wife wants to view video from abc.com. i installed flash but when i try to view videos with their "full episode" player it says it doesnt support my os
[18:23] <neverblue> DWells55, then you want to backup your data first, as installing another OS, there is a possibility of losing that data
[18:23] <bee1> so i guess my question is... can i run firefox in windows mode or something to get this to work?
[18:23] <nitro_> ok thanks
[18:23] <padan> not a clue sorry
[18:23] <Crazy|One> if vlc dont work, what could be the problem?
[18:23] <Marfi> what is a good bittorrent client other than azureus? it keeps crashing on me
[18:23] <thing> total n00bie here, i just installed (i think) swat, now how to i get it to run??
[18:23] <neverblue> DWells55, then you will want to use partition magic, you will want to setup partitions for linux, swap, and possibly /home
[18:24] <bee1> marfi: utorrent
[18:24] <TeeCee---> bee1, did you install Flash or GNash?
[18:24] <_mastro_> i've fglrx and my font really sucks.. i'm tring to correct monitor size to fix it but fglrx keep overriding my setting.. what can i do?
[18:24] <bee1> well i got it from adobe.com
[18:24] <kane77> Marfi, I'd say either ktorrent or deluge
[18:24] <bee1> im pretty sure its flash
[18:25] <TeeCee---> then its flash..;)
[18:25] <bee1> ok :)
[18:25] <jannen> are there a way for disable the need for type in passw evry time I do admin taks synaptic and so on..?
[18:25] <bee1> flash is working
[18:25] <Marfi> kane77, from what i remember with ktorrent, there isn't much of an interface. i like being able to look at what it is doing with azureus...is deluge like that?
[18:25] <DWells55> alright, thanks neverblue.  Do I necessarily need to set up the linux, swap, and boot partitions in Partition Magic, or can I just leave unallocated space and tell Ubuntu to use the largest free space
[18:26] <burwaco> is it possible to remove bittorent completely ?
[18:26] <Scunizi> jannen, yes... & no.. it's not reccommended
[18:26] <bee1> marfi: utorrent is very good
[18:26] <neverblue> DWells55, either or at that point
[18:26] <kane77> Marfi, look at what? peers? files? newer version of ktorrent can show details..
[18:26] <thomasl> jannen: I think you want to edit the sudoers file.  I maybe wrong.  I don't use synaptic myself
[18:26] <jannen> Scunicy tell em the yes way?=)
[18:26] <jannen> *me
[18:26] <Marfi> ill check it out. thanks yall!  =)
[18:26] <manchicken> Okay, this is strange... why isn't desktop effects showing up on this fresh install of Ubuntu?
[18:26] <neverblue> burwaco, remove any .bittorrent folders, which will possibly contain the .torrent files
[18:27] <Scunizi> jannen, since I don't do it.. sorry, can't
[18:27] <svanimpe> can anyone tell me how I can set the default language for a user ?
[18:27] <jannen> Scunizi ok
[18:27] <bee1> .
[18:27] <burwaco> neverblue: I mean apt-get remove bittorent... in previous releases it was impossible...
[18:28] <DWells55> Thanks a ton, neverblue.  Normally I'd have just tried it and dealt with whatever I did wrong, but this is my father's laptop.  Nice to see Ubuntu has a solid community, keep it up.
[18:28] <neverblue> DWells55, I try :)

[18:35] <svanimpe> my question again: how do I set the default system language for just one user ?
[18:35] <Guerra> Sigh. I keep getting stuck at: Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
[18:35] <EminX> EminX: Problem with nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 7.10 (Vga : nVidia MX4000)
[18:35] <EminX> admin__ [n=admin@athedsl-290826.home.otenet.gr] entered the room.
[18:35] <EminX> EminX: I went to System/Admin/Restricted Driver Manag.  and then displayed me that,  NVidia acceler...   status: Not in use,
[18:35] <EminX> EminX: When I tried to enable drivers.  The software source for the package  nvidia glx  is not enabled. (people i'm disappointed I can't solve this problem. ) I just wanna let you know that in Ubuntu 7.4, it was installed automatically without problems
[18:36] <Pici> !paste | EminX
[18:36] <ubotu> EminX: 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)
[18:36] <thing> under system tools i have GSAMBAD    is that samba?
[18:36] <Guerra> Sigh. I keep getting stuck at: Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) Any ideas anyone? Would appreciate it great.
[18:36] <Guerra> greatly*
[18:36] <EminX> ok thanks for trying to help me
[18:36] <eljak> thing, you might want to have a look at gfs it is a redhat technology i dont know if it is supported in ubuntu and if it works in heterogenous environments
[18:37] <fish__> i'm trying to debootstrap a gusty which i want to look like a install from cd. and now i trying to figure out what creates the /etc/fstab when installing from the livecd
[18:37] <Pici> thing: I dont know.
[18:37] <Guerra> Sigh. I probably have should of stuck with windows. What a pain.
[18:37] <Gigi> hey guys, do you know what happened with the Open Office?  It really went worst.. now is impossible to update with the mouse the graphics...
[18:37] <DJW2tone3> I'm having trouble with connecting my digital camera on gutsy
[18:37] <DJW2tone3> I have to manualy mount it each time I connect it
[18:37] <EminX> pici: i know it was paste! but that is most important than trying to help somebody
[18:37] <Guerra> Has anyone had problems with display? I tried forums. Absolutely no help.
[18:37] <Chris7mas> what troubles?
[18:37] <Guerra> I keep getting stuck at local boot scripts
[18:38] <gonzzy> EminX: when I had the same problem, I remember the Message telling me what was missied. I installed and then nvidia restr modules worked
[18:38] <riaal> anyone have a clue to why it takes me like 1-2 min to mount a nfs share over a local GB connection (both server and desktop running ubuntu)  when its mounted its fine but it takes ages to mount it
[18:38] <kdub432> DJW2tone3: the easiest thing is to pop out the sd card and put it in your computer. you can get a $8 SD to USB converter if you need one
[18:38] <Pici> EminX: Its not helpful to paste your entire question again, with the nick, and quit/join messages in the middle.
[18:38] <CubeXombi> Woohoo got wireless wring!
[18:38] <EminX> Pici:  I'm in a harry
[18:38] <CubeXombi> working that is
[18:39] <EminX> Pici: Sorry
[18:39] <DJW2tone3> I was just wondering why in feisty it automaticly poped up and mounted and in gutsy it doesn't
[18:39] <EminX> bye
[18:39] <burwaco> how can I edit settings for the default bittorrent client in gutsy, where do you set ports etc ?
[18:39] <bee1> TeeCee: ok we are definitely moving in the right direction. But now it wants me to install an executable "movemediaplayer.exe"
[18:39] <neverblue> burwaco, read the tutorial ?
[18:39] <bee1> TeeCee: can i install that with ubuntu?
[18:39] <burwaco> neverblue: what tutorial ?
[18:40] <svanimpe> burwaco: the port settings are in GConf, if you know that
[18:40] <Gigi> gosh
[18:40] <Jimdb> well, no one is alive in #zimbra.  they need to ban those zimbra employees from the server, haha.
[18:40] <CubeXombi> joar - working now.. had to go with a static filtering instead...
[18:41] <Guerra> "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
[18:41] <Onyx47> I need some help with user accounts, anyone here available for help?
[18:41] <Guerra> Any ideas guys?
[18:41] <Gts> ciao ragazzi
[18:41] <bobgill> What command will show me the total usage and free space of all combined partitions/drives on my box
[18:41] <Gts> aiutooo
[18:42] <Pici> !it | Gts
[18:42] <ubotu> Gts: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[18:42] <padan> df -h
[18:42] <Gigi> wow... it's the first time in 4 years with Ubuntu something goes back... I hope they fix it fast.  At least, I found out how to do it manually (lol... not other chance... no Microsoft in home since years)
[18:42] <Pici> bobgill: df -h
[18:42] <CubeXombi> joar.. umm half that sentance got erased, using mac filtering instead of encryption..  static ip change did he trick.
[18:42] <bobgill> thx
[18:42] <Gts> vorrei cancellare una cartella ma mi dice che non ho i permessi
[18:42] <Guerra> Gigi, any ideas on how to fix the display booting issue?
[18:42] <CubeXombi> now it's time to make some pizza..
[18:42] <Nashu> hi guys, I have a pbb, my USB devices (kingston 1Gb, Kingston 4 Gb, WD Passport external 250 Gb HDD) are no more mounted like hot plug
[18:43] <dlocaus> hello!: I have a quick networking question, it takes about 10 seconds to "start" up an ssh connection to my machine (in the same 192.168.1.* network), does anyone know how to "speed" up connection/(handshaking)?
[18:43] <Gigi> Guerra, whats your problem?  What happens?
[18:43] <Guerra> Sigh, oh glorious penguin God, please send me a nerd to aid me in my time of darkness...
[18:43] <Gigi> lol
[18:43] <Guerra> Okay so I installed gutsy
[18:43] <Guerra> I try to boot
[18:43] <Guerra> it goes to Running local boot scripts
[18:43] <Guerra> and stops.
[18:43] <MeeKs> i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my 2nd pc, now i want to use it as a mame machine to run roms and play movies on it. any guide or must have apps i should read/have?
[18:43] <skarface> Guerra: hit enter
[18:43] <Guerra> it tells me it has some display problems
[18:43] <Guerra> No. Enter does not do anything.
[18:43] <burwaco> neverblue: ok, found settings, thx...
[18:44] <Nashu> my USB devices (kingston 1Gb, Kingston 4 Gb, WD Passport external 250 Gb HDD) are no more mounted like hot plug, does anyone know how to make them auto-mount again?
[18:44] <Gigi> Guerra maybe an issue with your graphic card?  ATI card?  Is easy to suffer a kernel panic with it... happened to me once
[18:44] <Onyx47> does anyone know how to set up different languages for different users? I can only get same language for all users
[18:44] <rrittenhouse> Anybody know anything about the Ubuntu Server manager stuff for Ubuntu server?
[18:44] <Guerra> 2900 XT, ATI, yes
[18:44] <Guerra> what should I do?
[18:45] <Guerra> I don't wanna go back to windows :(
[18:45] <Jimdb> nashu:  honestly over the past few years one would have expected the people at ubuntu to address that, but they just don't seem to want to put the resources into it.
[18:45] <dlocaus> any networking (tcp/ip) guys in here?
[18:45] <suemeee> Nashu, D-Bus and hal running ?
[18:45] <windego40> hello everyone
[18:45] <Gts> ok fatto raga
[18:45] <Gigi> Guerra, then is easily to be a problem with that Graphic card... ATI gives problems... anyway... it should be fixable
[18:45] <Guerra> How?
[18:45] <Gigi> Guerra, did you try to turn of completely the comp, and then turn it on
[18:45] <Guerra> Yes. Haha.
[18:45] <Guerra> I keep getting the same thing.
[18:45] <kdub432> /join#compiz-fusion
[18:45] <looking_for_info> hello all! i have searched on-line documents for saving some personal settings on a usb drive but can't get it to work ... does anyone have the orrect document i am using Ubuntu 7.10 liveCD
[18:45] <quidpro> onyx47 system-administration-language support
[18:46] <kdub432> sorry, i suck at typing
[18:46] <Gigi> Guerra, that issue should be fixed just with rebooting a couple of times
[18:46] <quidpro> you can set the default language for new users?
[18:46] <windego40> im new to linux ...i just installed it a couple days ago and barely figured out how to get into this channel hehe
[18:46] <Guerra> Are you sure? I
[18:46] <Gigi> Guerra, say my name at the begining of the phrase... it's easier
[18:46] <Jimdb> nashu:  is the 250g hdd an ntfs or fat32 drive?
[18:46] <rjune__> where is the inittab file in ubuntu?
[18:46] <Guerra> I've rebooted at least 20 times
[18:46] <Nashu> suemeed : hald running, d-bus cannot find
[18:46] <Guerra> Gigi, sure mate. I've rebooted several times. Nadda.
[18:46] <Guerra> Gigi, by several times, I mean at least 40. Haha.
[18:46] <Onyx47> quidpro: yes, but there's no per-user settings there
[18:46] <Gigi> Guerra what does exactly say?  Just Display Problems?
[18:47] <gonzzy> I want to use the multimedia keys of my Genius Kb-29 keyboards. Ubuntu can´t get those keys
[18:47] <Nashu> Jimdb : was NTSFS , was working (ntfs-3g) and all of a suddent havok!
[18:47] <KelebekTurkce224> seLam
[18:47] <KelebekTurkce224> Naber?
[18:47] <KelebekTurkce224> nasýlsýnýz
[18:47] <Guerra> Well, first the screen flickers
[18:47] <Guerra> as if it's changing resolution
[18:47] <Guerra> "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
[18:47] <Gigi> Guerra when it's booting (orange bar?)
[18:47] <HaYaLeT_18> ALM
[18:47] <Nashu> Jimdb : passport  was c:nrfs, ext2, ext 3 now ntfs again
[18:47] <HaYaLeT_18> seLam
[18:47] <bee1> i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop. isnt there a way to view third party applications and install them?
[18:47] <looking_for_info> hello all! i have searched on-line documents for saving some personal settings on a usb drive but can't get it to work ... does anyone have any help i am using Ubuntu 7.10 liveCD
[18:47] <Gigi> mmmmm
[18:47] <Guerra> after the orange bar. Right after it says it's booting (text)
[18:48] <Gigi> Guerra try something stupid, it might work (name plz)
[18:48] <kolby> bee1: from the Applications > Add/Remove or what?
[18:48] <Guerra> Gigi, yes, sorry. Stupid like what? I've tried absolutely everything.
[18:48] <Nashu> how can I start D-BUS again?
[18:48] <frojnd> I can't get amarok started. When I type in terminal: amarok I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42930/
[18:48] <bee1> kolby: hey cool! it's right there
[18:48] <Ebiggs> looking_for_info, by default the LiveCD won't let you write to anything.  I'm not certain what you have to do to enable writing but someone else surely does
[18:48] <Gigi> Guerra sometimes the stupied thing works... turn of the comp completely, then disconect the monitor from the computer and from the A/C  Leave it a couple of minutes, plug the monitor in the A/C and then in the computer.  Then turn on the comp
[18:48] <Jimdb> nashu:  under windows when you don't shut down properly it doesn't clear the flag that the drive was mounted properly.  Under windows that's not an issue.  but under linux if the ntfs volume has the flag it means you have to either force it or you have to reset the flag.
[18:49] <windego40> anyone here know how to get ipod touch working on ubuntu?
[18:49] <Jimdb> nashu:  ....that the drive was unmounted* properly.
[18:49] <Gigi> Guerra that worked for me once with an ongoing kernel panic, which is what you have
[18:49] <Guerra> Gigi, I've actually done that already. Haha. Unplugged video card.
[18:49] <dksaarth> hi guys - can somebody help me patch my kernel source? just need to take a diff and turn it into a patch or just manually change the lines of code
[18:49] <Gigi> Guerra even the card?
[18:49] <Gigi> lol
[18:49] <Gigi> mmmmmm
[18:49] <Jimdb> nashu:  you using ntfs-3g?
[18:50] <kolby> bee1: yeah... to see more apps, I suggest clicking the thing by "show:" and choosing "All Available Applications"  or "All Open Source"
[18:50] <dksaarth> the information about the bug and the diff is at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9179
[18:50] <Guerra> Gigi, okay so, orange bar going...flickering of screen to change res, Running local boot scripts...
[18:50] <acuster> dksaarth, a diff is a patch
[18:50] <Nashu> guys! just found 3 instances of dbus-daemon 2.7 megs each
[18:50] <Gigi> this one is hard guerra  Did you made a clean installation?
[18:50] <acuster> dksaarth, 'man patch'
[18:50] <Nashu> Jimdb : yes ntfs-3g I am using that
[18:50] <bee1> kolby: sweet! thanks! :)
[18:50] <Guerra> Gigi, Yes. Formatted my HD, installed it. Now it gives me the same blue/grey screen of death. Saying Display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds...
[18:50] <Gigi> Guerra did you erased the entire hard drive?  Did you upgrade>  What exactly did you do when installing it?  Did the desktop live cd worked?
[18:51] <burwaco> gnome-btdownload started to download now, but how can I make sure nat is ok ?
[18:51] <looking_for_info> can someone help me set up my settings persistent?
[18:51] <kolby> bee1: anytime.  Are you new to Ubuntu?
[18:51] <Nashu> Jimdb: tried to reformat with gparted all the same
[18:51] <Jimdb> nashu:  download the program, through synaptic, called ntfsprogs
[18:51] <Guerra> I formatted my harddrive. Live CD did not work, so I used alternative text based install.
[18:51] <Nashu> Jimdb: I can only write to it as root now
[18:51] <Gigi> Guerra you was able to access to Ubuntu with the Live CD?
[18:51] <Guerra> Gigi, No.
[18:51] <general>       BERAT   TARAVAR
[18:51] <windego40> j
[18:51] <bee1> kolby: this is the first time i have used linux of any flavor and just heard about it yesterday
[18:51] <musikgoat> so anyone use kalarm?  i'm using it in gnome, is there a way to use audio files without kmix?  it seems to want to use kmix for audio
[18:51] <Guerra> Gigi, I used the alt CD
[18:51] <Nashu> Jimdb : ok looking for it know
[18:51] <dksaarth> acuster: yeah thanks - but im not sure where i need to cut the diff out the above webpage ? could you take a quick read and tell me which one i need to do or if i must apply both
[18:51] <Gigi> Guerra darn... you killed my chance... omg
[18:51] <kolby> bee1: lol.  awesome.  What IRC client are you using?
[18:52] <Gigi> Guerra mmmm why do not download it again (desktop CD if possible)
[18:52] <bee1> kolby: pidgin
[18:52] <Jimdb> nashu:  when you used ntfs-3g you were given the choice to mount it read only or read-write.  You needed to specify read-write.
[18:52] <Guerra> Gigi, dude. I have half a dozen ubuntu disks
[18:52] <Gigi> Guerra it must be a problem when you installed... nothing else I can think... that error is common, but not a big deal...
[18:52] <Radio1> Pidgin is cool.
[18:52] <Guerra> Gigi, tried all, same problem.
[18:52] <Guerra> Gigi, yeah well, I need a finite solution, or it's back to windows.
[18:52] <Guerra> sigh.
[18:53] <kolby> bee1: alright
[18:53] <Gigi> Guerra did you even run any Ubuntu on your pc?  Why do not try the 7.04?  Or even the 6.04 LTS
[18:53] <windego40> hey im new to linux too
[18:53] <Jimdb> nashu:  notice the word "force" in this example.
[18:53] <Jimdb> /dev/sdc1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,force,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0
[18:53] <kolby> bee1: well... there's more advanced ways to install apps too
[18:53] <Guerra> Gigi, because I'm stubborn and must have 7.10
[18:53] <Ebiggs> Guerra: Did you check the MD5sum of the disc image?
[18:53] <dijungal> Has anyone setup an all Linux office, simulating M$ Domain structure with centralised authentication and profile management.
[18:53] <bee1> kolby: yea... i figured its time to get familiar with bash
[18:53] <kolby> bee1: by advanced I mean complicated
[18:53] <Guerra> Ebiggs, what do you mean? I checked the CD, verified it and all that.
[18:53] <dijungal> Has anyone setup an all Linux office, simulating M$ Domain structure with centralised authentication and profile management and Linux clients.
[18:53] <gonzzy> Please! Multimedia keys.. doesn´t work... I want them!
[18:53] <Nashu> just realised I also have installed a small prog ntfs-config with gnome interface, and effectively I can enable write support for internal/external ntfs
[18:53] <kolby> bee1: well, there's a gui tool too
[18:54] <hairulfr> Is there some way that I can make compiz add transparancy to all windows?
[18:54] <bee1> kolby: really?
[18:54] <kolby> bee1: yeah...
[18:54] <Guerra> My issue has to do with display.
[18:54] <kolby> bee1: I'll find the menu path
[18:54] <cthomas> Anyone get's an error running alsamixer? I do...
[18:54] <bee1> kolby: ok cool
[18:54] <Jimdb> nashu:  yes, do so then look at your fstab and compare the entry to the example i pasted in a moment ago.
[18:54] <Ebiggs> Guerra: Do you still have a windows installation with the iso?
[18:54] <acuster> dksaarth, there's a lot going on in that web page; the first patch merely removes two lines from a file.
[18:54] <Nashu> Jimdb: just realised I also have installed a small prog ntfs-config with gnome interface, and effectively I can enable write support for internal/external ntfs
[18:54] <Gigi> Guerra err... why?  It's cool to have the last one... but Ubuntu 1.0 is better than windows anyway haha  Why not going on with the 6.04?  You can write on NTFS as well if that is your deal (you just need to download a dependency)
[18:54] <Ebiggs> There could be an error in the download itself.
[18:54] <Alan> does anybody know how to stop the desktop effects stuff from showing windows from all desktops on the taskbar
[18:54] <Alan> ?
[18:54] <Guerra> Ebiggs, what do you mean?
[18:54] <Jimdb> nashu:  yes, do so then look at your fstab and compare the entry to the example i pasted in a moment ago.
[18:55] <looking_for_info> hello can someone please help me or at least point me to the right place for an answer? i want to save my settings on a usb drive while still running ubuntu from the liveCD
[18:55] <kolby> bee1: To install some things you need to use:  System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[18:55] <acuster> dksaarth, try making a diff and a patch yourself on a tiny text file; you'll see how it works.
[18:55] <Guerra> Ebiggs, no, linux disk is fine. It is a display problem.
[18:55] <Gigi> Guerra he means, that the file is corrupt... that's why I told you to re-download it again from other link
[18:55] <Gigi> Guerra err... why?  It's cool to have the last one... but Ubuntu 1.0 is better than windows anyway haha  Why not going on with the 6.04?  You can write on NTFS as well if that is your deal (you just need to download a dependency)
[18:55] <Guerra> I've seen many many with the same problem.
[18:55] <Ebiggs> Just do an MD5sum check...I'm getting a link for you...
[18:55] <Guerra> I downloaded it from a TORRENT, there are no issues with the disk.
[18:55] <Nashu> Jimdb: pasted you on private my fstab
[18:55] <Pici> !verify | Ebiggs
[18:55] <Guerra> THe problem is 100% display.
[18:55] <Pici> hm
[18:55] <dksaarth> thanks acuster, i didn't realise that you could feed a patch in with garbage ahead and trailing - ill play around
[18:55] <ubotu> Ebiggs: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[18:55] <Gigi> Guerra who knows... download it from the Ubuntu main page
[18:55] <looking_for_info> Anyone?
[18:55] <Jimdb> nashu:  don't use my example.  just look at the part that says "force"
[18:56] <Ebiggs> Yeah...go where ubotu just pointed.
[18:56] <Guerra> Tried that too, Gigi
[18:56] <Guerra> Sigh
[18:56] <Gigi> Guerra previous versions?
[18:56] <Gigi> Guerra a previous one might work man
[18:56] <Guerra> Ideally, I'd like to get Gutsy working.
[18:56] <Nashu> Jimdb: can you see any message from me on private?
[18:56] <o_dilie}{> hello guys
[18:56] <Jimdb> nashu:  no private messages
[18:56] <Guerra> Else I'll just go back to windows till it's fixed.
[18:57] <kolby> bee1: still there?
[18:57] <Ebiggs> Guerra, was this a clean install?
[18:57] <Jimdb> nashu:  it didn't come through
[18:57] <bee1> kolby: wow. is this everything? open source and all?
[18:57] <Gigi> Guerra sometimes... weird things happens... what do you prefer. Windows or Ubuntu 6.04?  Easy question...
[18:57] <o_dilie}{> may i ask something?
[18:57] <Guerra> Ebiggs, Yes. Formatted HD. Pure clean.
[18:57] <Nashu> can I paste it in here?
[18:57] <MrSherlockHolmes> can't make kernel config
[18:57] <kolby> bee1: ummm... that depends on what you have enabled.
[18:57] <windego40> hey anyone know how to get ipod touch to work on ubuntu 7.10?
[18:57] <o_dilie}{> i am new here....
[18:57] <burwaco> euh, stupid question, but what do I need to open a rar archive ?
[18:57] <bee1> kolby: right on
[18:57] <Ebiggs> Maybe try an upgrade from 7.04 if you are desperate.
[18:57] <bee1> Kolby: lol
[18:57] <MrSherlockHolmes> missing config.h
[18:57] <kolby> bee1: I'll give you tips on that soon
[18:57] <Guerra> Gigi, probably windows. Generally I use SuSe or redhat, never had these issues before though.
[18:57] <bee1> kolby: ok
[18:58] <Guerra> and my friend swears by gutsy... so...
[18:58] <Gigi> Ebiggs i asked all of that to him already... seems to be a problem on the CD or a weird problem
[18:58] <Nashu> Jimdb: ca I paste it in here?
[18:58] <kolby> bee1: do you have an MSN account or something we can chat on?
[18:58] <kolby> bee1: I'll give you my address
[18:58] <Gigi> Guerra why?  My old laptop has 6.04 and it's better than windows lol
[18:58] <Ebiggs> What is the video card?
[18:58] <Guerra> No no, my issue has to do with the DISPLAY. either my video card or my monitor
[18:58] <bee1> kolby: ok cool
[18:58] <o_dilie}{> before installing ubuntu i must do a linux partition such as ext2 with partition magic ?
[18:58] <bee1> kolby: yes i do
[18:58] <Guerra> 2900 xt, ATI
[18:58] <Pici> Guerra: What video card do you have?
[18:58] <kolby> bee1: kolbyheacock@hotmail.com

[19:01] <Pici> !enter | Guerra
[19:01] <ubotu> Guerra: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[19:01] <quidpro> guerra you might try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[19:01] <Gigi> Guerra by that way, you can access to the xorg.conf
[19:01] <o_dilie}{> this is what the computer show me when i have tried to install it...
[19:01] <Guerra> Sorry Pici... It's a bad habit of mine. Don't mean to spam. I'll try to keep it all in one long winded text.
[19:01] <o_dilie}{> but i do not remember if it was ubuntu or mandriva :(((((
[19:02] <Guerra> quid: I've tried that. It didn't work. How Gigi?
[19:02] <Gigi> Guerra if you speak to dif persons, you  may use enter :)
[19:03] <Gigi> Guerra with sudo
[19:03] <Guerra> Gigi, haha yeah. Hmm. What is the default root password?
[19:03] <Gigi> Guerra enter this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" without the quotations
[19:03] <Pici> !sudo | Guerra
[19:03] <ubotu> Guerra: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[19:05] <Nashu> Jimdb: any other ideas?
[19:05] <relientkirsh> I installed Ubuntu 7.10 straight from the ISO, and I put the appearence visual effects on the "extra" setting, but I can't find the the GUI Compiz option to do do 3D workspaces.

[19:06] <Gigi> Guerra it might not work, but it will suggest something similar... so then do it
[19:06] <swmiller> relientkirsh: you need to install compiz manager through synaptic
[19:06] <tronyx> i changed the refresh rate on my monitor settings from 60 to 75 to try running the quake wars enemy territory demo and now when i boot I have an error message saying its out of range.  can i just edit my xorg.conf and adjust the horizonal and vertical refresh rates?
[19:06] <windego40> rob3r: i tried gtkpod but didnt work im gonna try hippo
[19:06] <quidpro> relientkirsh choose custom and then preferences

[19:10] <Lockzi> Hi, I'm having some problems with my apache server. I can connect to it through localhost, but not from the outside
[19:10] <IlluminaX> How can I setup wine from a launch menu?  Like if it needs to launch something from a prompt.  The only thing I can think of is through gnome-terminal.   I just don't know how to make something execute when gnome-terminal is the command.   For instance, "IF" I wanted to launch gedit from a terminal by clicking, can I use something like this for the menu command:  gnome-terminal > gedit  ?
[19:10] <MilitantPotato> Lockzi: did you open ports in your router?
[19:11] <marc2> PICI yes there is the custom but after click nothing showed up
[19:11] <Guerra> Sigh.
[19:11] <Pici> Lockzi: You need to forward port 80 using your router. Also some routers down allow loopback connections, eg: connecting to your outside ip from inside your network.
[19:11] <Ebiggs> Having problems booting after upgrade.  I get a command line because there is "no resume image".  Any ideas?
[19:11] <frojnd> MilitantPotato, I've tryed to compile my own but it didn't go through... So I'm tryong to uses ati proprietary drivers

[19:12] <swmiller> marc2: I had the same problem uninstall compiz manager with synaptic then reinstall fixed it for me
[19:12] <MilitantPotato> !webmin
[19:12] <ubot3> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system

[19:13] <blackaardvak> hello people
[19:13] <MilitantPotato> frojnd: follow this guide
[19:13] <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

[19:20] <Guerra> what's the best way to do it?

[19:20] <tronyx> militantpotato yea working great, had problems with quake wars enemy territory and in the process of trying to fix it, i managed to hose over my refresh rate so now i need to get it back to 60 from 75
[19:21] <MilitantPotato> chances are you need to run chkdsk on your ntfs drive Philip_H
[19:21] <marc2> MilitantPotato now is it working
[19:21] <marc2> well it is installing
[19:21] <Philip_H> MilitantPotato: thanks will do...rebooting into ubuntu now
[19:21] <MilitantPotato> tronyx: did you disable compiz-fusion before loading quake wars?
[19:21] <marc2> let me see if it actually works
[19:21] <Gigi> Guerra huh?  I was not speaking now.  What drive?  For the new installation?  It will be fine yep
[19:21] <westjd> Is there a linux program that is equivalent to deamon tools?
[19:21] <MilitantPotato> Philip_H:
[19:22] <Ebiggs> Guerra: Split it between root, home, and swap (equal to your amount of RAM).  Root and Home should be ext3, swap is swap.
[19:22] <tronyx> militantpotato, i was on openbox at the time, i started it and was told my monitor was out of range, so i went to gnome, change the refresh rate and now i can't even start ubuntu as it tells me my monitor is out of range
[19:22] <yaser> westjd, gisomount
[19:22] <MilitantPotato> tronyx: oops.
[19:22] <tronyx> lol indeed

[19:22] <yaser> any one has made a local repo?
[19:22] <Philip_H> MilitantPotato: chkdsk running right now...we'll see how ubuntu will take it after
[19:22] <Guerra> Ebiggs, how big should I make the root and home, if I have only 60 gb?
[19:23] <yaser> westjd, yw
[19:23] <tronyx> is anyone able to tell me how to fix my refresh from 75 to 60 through the command line.  I have no X currently
[19:23] <soundray> yaser: try asking your *actual* question
[19:23] <Ebiggs> Guerra:  How much RAM do you have?
[19:23] <swmiller> Guerra: 10 gb for root the rest for home
[19:23] <soundray> tronyx: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'

[19:24] <Lunar_Lamp> Is it necessary to have both atd and anacron running?
[19:24] <mother_gse> anyone active here?
[19:24] <MilitantPotato> tronyx: that should be the working xorg, with the correct refresh rate
[19:24] <dblackaarvak> hrm im back
[19:24] <soundray> mother_gse: no
[19:24] <marc2> MilitantPotato: clicking on system > Preferences > CompizConfig setting Manager nothing happen?
[19:25] <dblackaarvak> ive installed the restricted extras but i still can't play xvid or avi files
[19:25] <mother_gse> I have a small prob with nasm
[19:25] <soundray> yaser: what's the address of the tutorial?
[19:25] <tronyx> did you change anything other than the horizontal and vertial refresh rates?  i'm on windows currently so it's not so easy to replace the whole file
[19:25] <Guerra> Sorry, I have 2gb of RAM
[19:25] <marc2> MilitantPotato: the selection on appearance Preferences does not stay in custom?
[19:25] <yaser> soundray, http://www.milmazz.com/archivos/2005/07/24/creando-un-repositorio-local/
[19:26] <marc2> MilitantPotato: do you think it is the driver?
[19:26] <yaser> soundray, in fact im sure is a problem of mine beacuse all tuts say the same thing
[19:26] <Dark_Coven> has anyone had problems with gdesklets not finding the lm-sensors with gutsy?
[19:26] <Ebiggs> Guerra: Create a 2GB swap partition at the end of the drive, then split the rest about 50/50.
[19:26] <tronyx> militantpotato did you change anything other than the horizontal and vertial refresh rates?  i'm on windows currently so it's not so easy to replace the whole file

[19:44] <soundray> a9909: it's not worth the trouble. Get a gutsy install CD and start afresh
[19:44] <j0hn> Hey, I'm trying to install XAMPP (see http://xampp.sf.net/) in Ubuntu, but i'm having some trouble. I've extracted the tar and in the extracted dir i found an executable, 'lampp', and ran it in the terminal. I tried using its 'start' command, but it says Apache can't start. It seems to be looking for it in its directories, located in /opt/lampp (although I do not have this dir extracted there!).
[19:44] <tafsen> How do I find out which SCSI device the USB stick has been mapped to?
[19:44] <a9909> I have no CD-Rs.
[19:44] <Symian> Hey - can anyone point me at a dock application that is in the ubuntu repositories? Something besides gnome-panel that will give me a quick-launcher for apps?
[19:45] <a9909> I just need a sources.list that has a hoary package set on it :)
[19:45] <Linebeck> where can I get more themes for ubuntu?
[19:45] <Symian> Doesn't need to be OS X-like, but that's the idea.
[19:45] <soundray> a9909: borrow some from a friend
[19:45] <j0hn> Would it solve my problem to simply copy and paste the 'lampp' dir to /opt/lampp ? If so, how do I get the root permissions to do that?
[19:45] <soundray> a9909: hopeless. hoary isn't supported any more.
[19:45] <ambro> can someone tell me why am I getting a black screen when the installation is suppose to start !?!
[19:45] <wattazoum> I am using tar to make backups , but I wonder if there is an option to prevent TAR to backup twice the same file if I give it as an entry . like I want to backup /dir, exclude /dir/foo and include dir/foo/toto.I am ending with /dir/foo/toto twice

[19:45] <wattazoum> Any help ?
[19:45] <Guerra> What video card you have?
[19:46] <squee> ambro:  if the desktop install cd doesn't work try the alternate install
[19:46] <frojnd> MilitantPotato,
[19:46] <soundray> ambro: what did the defects check say?
[19:46] <snsone> neverblue: i added 3 lines to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases: alias ipv6 off/alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off and the last line without the ipv6.that's all i did
[19:46] <ambro> Guerra: Geforce 8800GTX
[19:46] <Guerra> squee: alternate install will install it, but it won't boot.
[19:46] <Guerra> I have ATI 2900 xt
[19:46] <Guerra> same issue
[19:46] <squee> Guerra:  This can be caused by many things, but in your case, you need to change the xorg to use vesa.
[19:47] <snsone> neverblue:i also have 2 network interfaces: eth0 which i don't use and eth1 which is where the internet is coming from
[19:47] <SevenSeth> guys, what you say about the rumors that ubuntu is killing the notebooks??

[19:47] <gonzzy> what is "killing"? How?

[19:48] <Symian> Does anyone know of a dock application in the Ubuntu repositories?
[19:48] <Guerra> ambro, I agree.
[19:48] <squee> Guerra:  Is it installed with the alternate cd?
[19:48] <SevenSeth> well
[19:48] <Guerra> squee: Yes

[19:51] <neverblue> j0hn, add gksudo infront of the command thats being called, u will be prompted for a password
[19:51] <squee> Guerra:  Make sure you type X11 and not x11 for the xorg.conf's folder

[19:52] <oficina> hi, I have an ubuntu box and I need it to look like XP, can you help me in that

[19:53] <Guerra> Sorry.
[19:53] <frederick85> why are mpgs black and white on my computer
[19:53] <a9909> So no one has any other suggestions besides "obtain the item you cannot obtain within the next four hours, despite needing it in that timeframe"?

[19:55] <sekas> Guys please.. Is wine blacklisted or why cant i find it?
[19:55] <neverblue> snsone, ping www.google.com
[19:55] <SevenSeth> sekas
[19:55] <rukuartic> timposey: I've set it up once or twice... But I've never been any good with it.
[19:55] <a9909> quidpro, sorry, I just have a really dumb situation here where I can't get my hands on a Gutsy CD, and I've lost my feisty CD, so all I have is Hoary ... and I want to dist-upgrade it :)
[19:55] <ambro> Guerra: I got MSI K9N diamond
[19:55] <SevenSeth> you need to see the tutorial on the site of wine
[19:55] <a9909> so I want a legacy hoary mirror for my sources.list :)
[19:55] <neverblue> snsone, good luck, cannot help you anymore
[19:56] <ambro> it's probably motherboard related ...
[19:56] <Guerra> ambro, I think it's a display issue
[19:56] <snsone> neverblue: 15 packets transmitted, 13 received, 13% packet loss, time 14039ms
[19:56] <squee> rukuartic:  It depends on the raid card on the motherboard.  If done correctly through hardware it should show up as one device I believe.
[19:56] <rukuartic> a9909: thats... IMO I don't know if thats a good idea.
[19:56] <SevenSeth> sekas: you need to update the list ou apt-get servers
[19:56] <Guerra> although my friend said his 8800 worked perfect
[19:56] <quidpro> sekas you tried apt-get install wine?
[19:56] <sekas> Oki
[19:56] <sekas> =)
[19:56] <sekas> Ja
[19:56] <rukuartic> squee: Yeah... I'm not sure what it should show up as though. I looked around in /dev and didn't see anything...
[19:56] <rukuartic> squee: Do you think it could be one of these things like a software modem? It just doesn't work?
[19:56] <SevenSeth> sekas: on the site of winehq exlpain easly ;) go head
[19:56] <a9909> rukuartic, I said it was dumb :) I just wanted to try ... I mean, it's something that FreeBSD can do ...
[19:57] <a9909> and I already spent the hour and fifteen minutes to get Hoary installed
[19:57] <sekas> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[19:57] <squee> rukuartic:  maybe your raid card isn't supported
[19:57] <sekas> shit,.. thanks guys =)
[19:57] <a9909> (Would have been faster, but I had to do it twice :))
[19:57] <okeefenokee> I'm running Ubuntu in command line mode. How shold I tweak my system to get my external CD-drive and my external harddisks automounted?
[19:57] <timposey> rukuartic: thanks I'll take a look and try that..
[19:57] <neverblue> snsone, have a router ?
[19:58] <JoseLuis> Hello
[19:58] <rukuartic> timposey: What exactly are you planning to do? Out of interest... Small scale home/home office, or enterprise?
[19:58] <rukuartic> JoseLuis: Hey :)
[19:58] <squee> rukuartic:  You could try using it as a normal sata card and then doing a software raid through linux.  It wont be as fast but is much more likely to work
[19:58] <SevenSeth> sekas go here: www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[19:58] <SevenSeth> =)
[19:58] <JoseLuis> rukuartic: Hello
[19:58] <Sonderblade> after upgrading to gutsy, totem lost its ability to play mp3s, how do i get it back?
[19:58] <SevenSeth> Sonderblade you need to install codecs
[19:58] <timposey> yes, small office, some windows computers and some ubuntu
[19:58] <rukuartic> squee: Yeah it works as a normal card but if the hardware raid won't work I'll just return it and get a 15 buck card instead of a 50 buck one =P
[19:59] <timposey> rukuartic: yes, small office, some windows computers and some ubuntu
[19:59] <Guerra> Sigh. Damned penguin Gods.
[19:59] <Sonderblade> SevenSeth: is there a gui or apt-get command for that?
[19:59] <SudoKing> help to install dvd reader for kaffeine?
[19:59] <rukuartic> timposey: Ah... yeah. As far as I know... once you get it set up, if you want to have user access you need to have duplicate usernames on the Ubuntu box
[19:59] <squee> rukuartic:  that might be your best bet.  look for a good chipset online first
[19:59] <rukuartic> timposey: But like I said, I'm no guru.
[19:59] <SevenSeth> Sonderblade yes, go to Add/Remove e search for mp3 codec
[19:59] <rukuartic> squee: Yeah... :( I don't have quite too much money to blow on it so...
[19:59] <snsone> neverblue: server downstairs (i don't own it).but that's all i can tell.i'm not that wise with these.all i know is that internet is going through the server downstairs then through some switches then into my computer
[20:00] <JoseLuis> does anybody know this? amdcccle complaining abt, libGL.so ?
[20:00] <timposey> rukuartic:  Thanks
[20:00] <squee> rukuartic:  newegg.com is cheap
[20:00] <SevenSeth> Sonderblade you need to search on all avaible applications
[20:00] <SevenSeth> Sonderblade change it on the top right corner
[20:00] <neverblue> snsone, might want to look at a possible hardware issue
[20:00] <SevenSeth> guys, anyone read the bug the ubuntu is killing the HDD of notebooks?
[20:01] <SudoKing> no
[20:01] <Guerra> Yeah.
[20:01] <SevenSeth> its important
[20:01] <SudoKing> ?
[20:01] <SudoKing> i don't use ubuntu, i use kubuntu
[20:01] <Guerra> It aggressively spins the notebook drive, due to poor power management.
[20:01] <kdub432> SevenSeth: better than windows killing my soul.... :-D
[20:01] <squee> SevenSeth:  Yes, there are simple fixes out there though
[20:01] <SevenSeth> Guerra you did something????
[20:02] <Guerra> Me?
[20:02] <SevenSeth> squee were???
[20:02] <squee> SevenSeth:  Lemme find one
[20:02] <SevenSeth> Guerra is, you installed some bug fix ?
[20:02] <Guerra> I'm on my laptop, waiting for my beastly desktop to finish installing gutsy
[20:02] <Guerra> No
[20:02] <valemon> hello
[20:02] <SevenSeth> squee if i'm here asking help is because i already searched

[20:03] <valemon> what shall I do to run this command during startup?
[20:03] <rukuartic> squee: yeah, it doesn't seem to recognize.

[20:03] <Fabio_Como> i can i remove +x permission just to file (and leave it to directories)
[20:03] <SevenSeth> squee they don't garantee anything!
[20:03] <Fabio_Como> how can i remove +x permission just to file (and leave it to directories)?
[20:04] <rukuartic> valemon: If I remember correctly, there should be a command in ndis wrapper to do that
[20:04] <rukuartic> valemon: try "man ndiswrapper"
[20:04] <neverblue> snsone, ok, well, in that case, I would say its your network card driver
[20:04] <valemon> ruluartic thanks I will check this
[20:04] <chicony> i wont http://(www|[a-z0-9...]+)\.|[a-z0-9...]+.(cz,com,org,co,uk) ...

[20:08] <rukuartic> robin1900: Hey :)
[20:08] <robin1900> Is it ok if I ask a few noob questions...?
[20:09] <rukuartic> robin1900: Thats what we're here for :)
[20:09] <Peaker_> My app is abort()ing but not getting a core dump. ulimit -c unlimited was used. Where does Ubuntu determine what signals do? (SIGABORT in this case)
[20:09] <neverblue> !ask | robin1900
[20:09] <ubotu> robin1900: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[20:09] <squee> SevenSeth:  That is the official bug fix for it, I dont know what to tell you other than that
[20:09] <rukuartic> Peaker_: Oh! I had this problem before. Hold on.
[20:09] <neverblue> Peaker_, try in #linux possibly ?
[20:09] <ArrPirate> Is there a way to edit the Places menu bar?
[20:09] <Ricket> neverblue: the timestamp has been altered... by me... do you know the difference and were just getting me to discover it on my own? please just tell me...
[20:09] <Gigi> or I discovered something new I never discovered within almost 4 years of Ubuntu... or is something new on Ubuntu Gutsy
[20:10] <SevenSeth> squee but on you, this solution worked?
[20:10] <neverblue> Ricket, the .0 is 'older' than the .log

[20:10] <jthomas> does anyone know if Thunderbird or Lightning supports Free/Busy for calendar info?
[20:10] <SevenSeth> squee you used smartmontools to verify if you have this problem?
[20:11] <Ricket> jthomas: google could probably tell you the answer, i don't know it (never heard of it) but google's good for things like that
[20:11] <neverblue> jthomas, ask on the mozilla network? /server irc.mozilla.org /join #thunderbird
[20:11] <squee> SevenSeth:  Yes
[20:11] <rukuartic> Peaker_: Did you relogin after changing the thing in /etc/settings/limits.conf ?
[20:11] <patientfox> hi i'm having a problem with a new 7.10 install... i'm sli with two 7800 GT's... my xorg.conf is using the nv driver.. i can get into the welcome/login screen fine.. but when i log in, the system locks up when it seems like it's trying to load the desktop wallpaper... also.. tweaking the language or session settings in the welcome screen causes the system to lock up as well
[20:11] <Peaker_> rukuartic, does that not get overrided by the ulimit -c?
[20:11] <jthomas> Ricket not finding anything on Google with a definitive answer... thanks neverblue will try it
[20:11] <patientfox> any thoughts? it looks like a window will try to render, but it comes out as garbage and then the system locks up
[20:11] <robin1900> Just wondering if ubuntu managed using policy management
[20:12] <szkud> I've got a weird video problem totem and vlc through wine play the video fine but the colors look like this: http://szkud.net/sa/color.png and vlc in ubuntu, and mplayer have no problems with the color but the video is extremely choppy
[20:12] <rukuartic> Peaker_: It should have been, I'm not _that_ much of a code guru. :(
[20:12] <SevenSeth> squee on my notebook in 10 min 5 cycles was incremented...and i ask you if comparing with you is a lot?
[20:12] <rukuartic> Peaker_: Its just an idea
[20:12] <nico8481> anyone using a macbook and got his keyboard behave more or less the same way as under OSX (shift+alt+L for the | , alt+N for the ~ , command+tab instead of alt+tab ...)?
[20:12] <robin1900> I mean: Can ubuntu be managed using policy management
[20:12] <robin1900> Kinda Like Group Policy in Windows?
[20:12] <Lockzi> Silly question, how do I delete a file in the terminal?
[20:12] <nico8481> ... if so i'd like to see your xorg.conf :)
[20:13] <Peaker_> rukuartic, I think all /etc/settings/limits.conf does is call ulimit, so if I call it locally it should work
[20:13] <rukuartic> Lockzi: rm
[20:13] <MystaMax> Lockzi, type "man rm" in the terminal
[20:13] <ubuntu-user100> hi! i am thinking about upgrading to 7.10, my computer has amd64 processor. which is better? upgrading or fresh install? any advice/pointers would be helpful.
[20:13] <squee> SevenSeth:  Let me see what mine is
[20:13] <orbstra> hey I like ubuntu, I have an ubuntu server holding 300GB of HD movies and music, and I just got ahold of another computer (currently windows), that I want to hook up to my TV and use it as a device to watch my movies and music off my ubuntu server and in the future record tv and stuff (yet save the recorded tv to the server).. where should I start?
[20:13] <squee> SevenSeth:  By the way, does "lemme" mean something offensive?
[20:13] <rukuartic> ubuntu-user100: fresh install is always great, but there's the hastle of moving the files.
[20:13] <rukuartic> orbstra: look around for MythTV
[20:14] <rukuartic> Peaker_: Did you logout/login after changing them?
[20:14] <SevenSeth> squee i thought yes, but if was not you attention i'm sorry ;)
[20:14] <orbstra> I looked into it, from a glance I didn't like it too much.. I was hoping for more of a Mac Frontrow interface
[20:14] <cleaton> ubuntu-user100, if you've been using lots of stuff like automatix etc i can see that upgrading can cause a problem. i did a fresh install myself as i thought it was about time anyways
[20:14] <ubuntu-user100> rukuartic: thanks
[20:14] <keegangrayson> http://www.theonion.com/content/node/27460
[20:14] <Ricket> SevenSeth: lemme is sort of an onamatopoeia for "let me" :)
[20:14] <squee> SevenSeth:  Short for "let me", I didn't know it could be used offensively
[20:15] <SevenSeth> squee my apologies =)
[20:15] <Ricket> well i guess not an onamatopoeia but ... you know. slang... or something.
[20:15] <SevenSeth> sorry everyone
[20:16] <rukuartic> orbstra: Heh -- Linux is an eternal battle from awesome computer things and terrible interfaces.
[20:16] <SevenSeth> but i'm very worried about this problem
[20:16] <kolby> if you get a message that sayd: "The Composite extension is not available" when you enable visual effects its just because you haven't installed "xserver-xorg" right?
[20:16] <rukuartic> but they're getting better.
[20:16] <SevenSeth> i don't want loose my hdd
[20:16] <szkud> I've got a weird video problem totem and vlc through wine play the video fine but the colors look like this: http://szkud.net/sa/color.png and vlc in ubuntu, and mplayer have no problems with the color but the video is extremely choppy. any recommendations?
[20:16] <burwaco> hello hello
[20:16] <orbstra> ruratic what would you suggest... mth TV seems primarily for DVR, i just want tat as a feature on the side for the future
[20:16] <kolby> can someone help me?
[20:16] <ubuntu-user100> cleaton: thanks
[20:17] <burwaco> kolby, with what ?
[20:17] <rukuartic> szkud: haha... ...wow that is nasty
[20:17] <kolby> if you get a message that sayd: "The Composite extension is not available" when you enable visual effects its just because you haven't installed "xserver-xorg" right?
[20:17] <rukuartic> szkud: no idea man :( sorry...
[20:17] <squee> SevenSeth:  5 cycles in 10 minutes isn't that bad, I wouldn't worry that much about it
[20:17] <cleaton> SevenSeth, have you tried any of the sugestions on launchpad?
[20:17] <Lockzi> How can I list all installed program from apt-get?
[20:17] <kolby> burwaco: it's an ATI card issue I think
[20:17] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: whats your issue?
[20:17] <squee> SevenSeth:  But if you are still concerned, try what was on the launchpad page
[20:17] <rukuartic> Lockzi: dpkg -l | less
[20:17] <SevenSeth> yeah
[20:17] <SevenSeth> but
[20:17] <Lockzi> rukuartic, cheers
[20:17] <burwaco> kolby, what ati card do you have, and what's the problem ?
[20:18] <SevenSeth> by default laptop-mode is disabled
[20:18] <rukuartic> Lockzi: no problem... also try "apt-cache search <stuff>" if you're looking for something.
[20:18] <kolby> burwaco: it's an x1300 ATI I think
[20:18] <kolby> yeah
[20:18] <SevenSeth> so even this mode is disabled this continues to get very agressive to hdd???
[20:18] <burwaco> kolby, problem ?
[20:18] <cleaton> SvenSeth, it's in the firmare/bios
[20:19] <kane77> I have couple of folders, how would I copy content of all of those folders to different folder? (in other words merge the content of those folders)
[20:19] <kolby> when I go to System > Preferences > Appearance, and select anything but "none" for visual effects it gives me an error message
[20:19] <Romme> how do i use my power buttun with APM?
[20:19] <Sitting_Duck> My DVD drive is acknowledged by the OS, but I can't watch DVD's -- I've tried Mplayer, Movieplayer, VLC, and Totem, all to no avail. Could someone help me troubleshoot?
[20:19] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: I think you need to install some restricted codecs...
[20:19] <cleaton> SvenSeth, the manufactor has probably put to aggressive power management in the firmware
[20:20] <burwaco> kolby, you get composite not available or something like that ?
[20:20] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: Could you point me in the right direction, please?
[20:20] <kolby> burwaco: exactly
[20:20] <SevenSeth> cleaton but you was affected about the same problem?
[20:20] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: Long and short, MPAA doesn't trust people who legally buy DVD's so you can't 'legally' play them in linux
[20:20] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: but you still can do it... hold on a sec.
[20:20] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: I think its libdecss or something...
[20:20] <burwaco> kolby, do you use the restricted ati driver ?
[20:20] <kolby> yep
[20:20] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: Gotta love the MPAA.
[20:20] <cleaton> SvenSeth, i don't know i didn't check when i had a laptop, im on a desktop now
[20:21] <kolby> yay riotkittie
[20:21] <fuzzy> is there a test repo like sid is to debian?
[20:21] <Lockzi> rukuartic, I'm also having some problems with my apt-get! It says "some index files failed to download" when doing an update. After a couple of tries it goes through though... Any idea?
[20:21] <burwaco> kolby, did you install xserver-xgl ?
[20:21] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: I think the package name is ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:21] <kolby> burwaco: nope
[20:21] <kolby> ....
[20:21] <kolby> ....
[20:21] <kolby> that was the problem
[20:21] <rukuartic> Lockzi: Sorry... no idea. There might be an issue with the servers -- or your connection to them.
[20:21] <burwaco> kolby, hold on, I'll walk you trough it...
[20:21] <SevenSeth> squee but i supose that this problem happens when laptop-mode is enabled...right?
[20:21] <cleaton> SevenSeth, i think you can overide the firmware/bios settings using hdparm
[20:21] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: I already have that installed
[20:21] <robin1900> Hey all... again
[20:22] <quidpro> guerrayou done yet? :)
[20:22] <cleaton> SevenSeth, you have enabeled laptop-mode?
[20:22] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: AHA https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[20:22] <SevenSeth> cleaton i think not , i didn't change anything
[20:22] <kolby> burwaco: type in "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and then restart X?
[20:22] <CubeXombi> where is the default firefox plugin flder?
[20:22] <docubaseTech> is there an easy way to get the eth0 IP address through a shell script (to save in a variable)?
[20:23] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: Do you know about grep?
[20:23] <docubaseTech> nottoomuch
[20:23] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: I've already followed that, but I'll reread it.
[20:23] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: cut? pipes? hold on a sec
[20:23] <burwaco> kolby, yes and install compiz manager too
[20:23] <SevenSeth> cleaton but using hdparm -B 255 is the solution?
[20:23] <robin1900> I am wanting to create a Ubuntu domain however, I am only familier with Active Directory & Group Policy Management.... can anyone suggest a good starting point to begin with?
[20:23] <squee> SevenSeth:  As far as I know yes
[20:23] <robin1900> google has been less then helpful!
[20:23] <kolby> burwaco: awesome.  I've just been using the wrong command
[20:24] <rukuartic> docubaseTech:  ifconfig eth0 | grep inet\ addr | cut -d \: -f 2 | cut -d \  -f 1
[20:24] <cleaton> SevenSeth, i think that should disable any powermanegment on the disk
[20:24] <kolby> burwaco: thanks so much
[20:24] <cleaton> that's what they sugested on launchpad right?
[20:24] <UbuntuPwns> CubeXombi, try /home/USERNAMEHERE/.mozilla/plugins
[20:24] <burwaco> kolby, install compiz manager too
[20:24] <kolby> burwaco:  I have to?
[20:24] <rukuartic> robin1900: Gah... that stuff isn't fun.
[20:24] <rukuartic> robin1900: Are you looking to set Ubuntu up as a domain controller?
[20:24] <docubaseTech> sweet...thanks...
[20:25] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: you want me to explain the syntax?
[20:25] <toneman77> hi there ppl. im having a problem: standby does work with gutsy live-cd, but not with an installed gutsy. What can be the problem here ?
[20:25] <docubaseTech> now to save in variable i can do varname=ifconfig eth0 | grep inet\ addr | cut -d \: -f 2 | cut -d \  -f 1
[20:25] <kolby> burwaco: and you dont mean compiz conig manager?  the python thing to custom it?
[20:25] <SevenSeth> cleaton / squee yes. the lanchpad recommends to create a script that runs when ubuntu starts executing this command
[20:25] <burwaco> kolby, apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:25] <kolby> burwaco: I got that covered
[20:25] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: should work
[20:25] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: Not a bash guru :)
[20:25] <SevenSeth> cleaton / squee so, until now the solution is using hdparm -B 255
[20:25] <SevenSeth> ?
[20:25] <kolby> burwaco: okay.  lol.  I thought you might have meant the old compiz engine before the fusion
[20:25] <burwaco> kolby, let me know if it works...
[20:25] <j0hn> how do i log on as root? from the login screen i can't get it to work. i've already tried using sudo gksudo to do things.
[20:25] <Rhino_Ak> I'm trying to admin a debian server
[20:26] <docubaseTech> you can explain if you want...
[20:26] <Rhino_Ak> and I'm need some help as to where to start
[20:26] <cleaton> SevenSeth, well there's no sulotion on it, it's in the firmware or bios if i have understood it correct, ubuntu isn't doing anychanges
[20:26] <Szeraax> question: if I am trying to tunnel through ssh, do i actually need to go grab another program, or can i enable ?SOCKS? through something?
[20:26] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: cut breaks things up based on the -d(elimiter), and gives you which -f(ield) you want
[20:26] <Rhino_Ak> Disk critical with 164 mb free
[20:26] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: and grep just searches for what you type
[20:26] <Rhino_Ak> where do I start
[20:27] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: so I ifconfig eth0 to get the whole list, and pipe into grep to get only the line with inet addr in it
[20:27] <robin1900> basiclly, i'm wanting to see if it's possible to get a domain up and running as you can with windoes
[20:27] <robin1900>  So, I would need a DC
[20:27] <robin1900>  DHCP, DNS, some way to manage the Clients and some way to lock the clients down at the Computer and user level...
[20:27] <rukuartic> docubaseTech: and then I just cut it up :)
[20:27] <cleaton> SevenSeth, ubuntu goes by the thought that the manufacture knows what your hardware can handle. so it leaves the firmware/bios to do the job by default that's why laptop mode is disabled
[20:27] <rukuartic> robin1900: DNS you're looking for bind
[20:27] <toneman77> where do i start to search for this standby issue regarding livecd vs installed system ?
[20:27] <docubaseTech> nice, thanks.
[20:28] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: Well, that question is a bit vague... what do you want to do? Delete things, add more drive space, copy things elsewhere?... Why not ask the #debian people too, since it's debian
[20:28] <[chr0n0s]> i cannot find man page for setsockopt, is there any way to install man pages?
[20:28] <SevenSeth> cleaton so my manufacter sells me a notebook with an hddthat that is destinated to diw before the time expected...
[20:28] <rukuartic> robin1900: DHCP...  dhcp3-server or something
[20:28] <robin1900> rukuartic: Is it possible to lock down authenticated ubuntu clients from an ubuntu DC?
[20:28] <rukuartic> robin1900: and for logins and what not you probably want kerebox
[20:28] <SevenSeth> cleaton how i can be sure if my laptop-mode is disabled?
[20:28] <rukuartic> robin1900: *kerebos
[20:29] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
[20:29] <nico8481> how can i make another key behave as if it were alt? example newkey+tab instead of alt+tab to switch between windows, newkey+F4 to close windows, newkey+F2 to get the "run" box...
[20:29] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/laptop-mode
[20:29] <squee> What happened to the hardy heron section on the forums?
[20:29] <bliffle> #mvgroup
[20:29] <burwaco> SevenSeth: check for it in tour rc*...
[20:29] <SevenSeth> burwaco where???
[20:29] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: rm -i /etc/rc*.d/*laptop-mode
[20:29] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: Move things around, but I need to know what partition is running low
[20:29] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: run those three commands -- should get you set
[20:29] <burwaco> SevenSeth: hold on...
[20:30] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: but the third is just redundancy
[20:30] <Rhino_Ak> what's my first step in troubleshooting this issue.
[20:30] <patientfox> hello i'm having a serious problem w/ ubuntu and getting it to work with my nvidia card.. i'm using a 7800 GT... basically i'm stuck in the console because, whenever i start up X ... I can get to the welcome screen... but whenever i log in or try to tweak the language/session settings in the welcome screen... x crashes and my system locks up
[20:30] <Rhino_Ak> I'm very new to linux
[20:30] <SevenSeth> rukuartic with this commands i will delete ...
[20:30] <patientfox> is anyone here up to date on nvidia issues?
[20:30] <rukuartic> SevenSeth: yeah... don't run the rm one unless you're feeling bold
[20:30] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: use "df -h"
[20:30] <robin1900> rukuartic: I'm guessing the setup is a bit more diffcult then Microsoft?
[20:30] <patientfox> or is there anywhere i can look... i've used google a bit, and i'm not having any luck at all with this problem
[20:30] <rukuartic> robin1900: Its debatable...
[20:30] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: did that
[20:30] <robin1900> Sad to say it.... but I am used to the Point and Click method
[20:30] <robin1900> :(
[20:30] <robin1900> :(
[20:30] <burwaco> SevenSeth: ls /etc/rc*.d/|grep laptop-mode
[20:30] <rukuartic> robin1900: you'll probably also want samba and what not
[20:31] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: okay, well that shows you what you said you wanted to know
[20:31] <rukuartic> robin1900: Point and click is nice... yes, but its much easier to work with things in the CLI in my opinion.
[20:31] <rukuartic> robin1900: Everything's text, so you can create your own programs to do what you want
[20:31] <robin1900> is kerebos and kerberos the same thing
[20:31] <cleaton> SevenSeth, i don't know how you check that, sorry. it seems like they do, not everyone has that problem. windows seem to overide the bios/firmware settings so maybe it's some kind of trick they use to keep them on windows or something i don't know it seems strange
[20:31] <rukuartic> robin1900: Yea
[20:32] <robin1900> It's strange how things more from CLI to Gui and back!
[20:32] <robin1900> :P
[20:32] <rukuartic> robin1900: LDAP + Kerebos
[20:32] <rukuartic> robin1900: for auth
[20:32] <SevenSeth> thanks everyone
[20:32] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: it looks like /usr 271m are free on a 3gb partition
[20:32] <burwaco> SevenSeth: and, is it running ?
[20:33] <cleaton> SevenSeth, even if you use hdparm -b 255 it will still use the firmware when you go in suspend forexample. and then you can see that you will get the same cycle rate again
[20:33] <kolby> burwaco: thanks again for the help
[20:33] <rukuartic> robin1900: you can look around for "Ubuntu perfect setup" on google... that might get you going pretty far.
[20:33] <burwaco> kolbyn it works ?
[20:33] <robin1900> Cheers for that!
[20:33] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: I'm not sure what you're asking of me/us...
[20:33] <rukuartic> robin1900: its like I said though... Gui's are great for making things easy... but automation is more difficult.
[20:33] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: I haven't gotten any further with what you linked me to. However, when I run hdparm on scd0, I get the message HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[20:33] <SevenSeth> cleaton yeah...but what is the diferance in this comand hdparm -B255 /dev/sda > /dev/null 2>&1 ??
[20:34] <rukuartic> robin1900: http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 try that
[20:34] <cleaton> SevenSeth, so they might know that windows changes it and they use their a bit too agressive when the computer is in suspend but they think that it's ok as you're not in suspend so often and then it could be better to earn some battery time
[20:34] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: I'm getting a clear sense I what to do now
[20:34] <robin1900> Sounds like a daft question but i know when I started on the Microsoft route I took class on this is a PDC, BDC etc
[20:34] <Rhino_Ak> thanks for your help
[20:34] <robin1900> is there anything simlar for linux?
[20:34] <rukuartic> robin1900: What's that? I'm not a big guru...
[20:34] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: Gah... Oo
[20:34] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: are you running it as sudo?
[20:34] <cleaton> SevenSeth, i don't know i haven't used hdparm so much, you could try man hdparm
[20:34] <burwaco> SevenSeth: laptop-mode was running on my machine, I turned it off... is it running on yours ?
[20:35] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: okay... I'm sorry - I'm not trying to be snooty... It's just hard to help without specific-ish questions
[20:35] <Tone> hello again
[20:35] <SevenSeth> burwaco how i can see that?
[20:35] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: Oops. Trying that!
[20:35] <burwaco> SevenSeth: ls /etc/rc*.d/|grep laptop-mode
[20:35] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: I didn't take it that way....
[20:35] <robin1900> I'm been looking around for course to "Teach me", Linux
[20:35] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: I just used automatix to get it working for me... Slightly care-free but meh.
[20:36] <rukuartic> robin1900: You can find a lot of stuff by googling around online...
[20:36] <robin1900> but all I can find is courses on how to manage RHL SQL servers
[20:36] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: I'm still getting the error. What's automatix?
[20:36] <SevenSeth> burwaco is not running...
[20:36] <schlort> Can anyone help diagnose a problem I am having installing Maple 11?  The installation went smoothly on Feisty.  On a completely fresh Gutsy install (2nd time around, and the problem persists), I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m63f78eb8  and my df reports: http://pastebin.com/m279ed428
[20:36] <rukuartic> robin1900: Finding books at the library...
[20:36] <Rhino_Ak> linux is a fun os but for a visual guy like myself its hard to know where to start and where to go next

[20:36] <rukuartic> robin1900: no problem :)
[20:36] <Tone> my laptop goes to stanby/suspend with the livecd but not on the installed gutsy. what can i do ?
[20:36] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: Wait, what software did you install with it?
[20:36] <rukuartic> Tone:
[20:36] <matteo> hi ubunterz
[20:37] <matteo> i'm making an ubuntu package
[20:37] <rukuartic> Sitting_Duck: It was fairly point and click... "Do you want to be able to use DVD's? | Yes"
[20:37] <matteo> where should I put scripts thare are sourced?
[20:37] <Tone> matteo, yes ?
[20:37] <Tone> can u help me ?
[20:37] <rukuartic> need to jet folks, later
[20:37] <Sitting_Duck> rukuartic: Ah. What if the problem is that the OS isn't using the drive properly? The hardware works in Windows, so I know it -should- be working
[20:38] <reverseblade> Can anyone guide me for installing 100.14.09 nvidia driver
[20:38] <Tone> reverseblade, just follow the instruction
[20:38] <kolby> sigh
[20:38] <Tone> worked for me everytime
[20:38] <lufis> Is there any way for Nautilus to access a PTP protocol camera and treat it as though it was a regular usb mass storage device?
[20:38] <reverseblade> Tone, what instruction
[20:38] <Tone> sh NVIDIA.....
[20:38] <Tone> sorry
[20:38] <Tone> sudo sh NVID....
[20:38] <kolby> ever feel like you've cursed an entire civilization?
[20:38] <Tone> just run the script
[20:39] <j0hn> Hey, I need to copy a dir into the /opt directory, which requires root priviliges. how do i do this?
[20:39] <Tone> sudo cp ....
[20:39] <FoSsiL> i see "back orifice 2k " in my firestarter active connection. how do i get rid of it? i read its a hacking tool for window or something?
[20:39] <oficina> im trying to compile the gtk engine experience but having trouble, can anyone help me?
[20:39] <Niekk> Hey, My ubuntu freezes sometimes .. why ?
[20:39] <burwaco> SevenSeth: if you want to get rid of laptop-mode, apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, run sys-rc-conf, scroll down to laptop-mode and clear the X's on the entire line... 2,3,4 and 5...
[20:39] <oficina> or provide me ubuntu .deb packages?
[20:40] <avgeneral> hello
[20:40] <^rike^> Hi, banshee doesn't detect a network connection anymore. I'm using a dsl connection via usb modem.
[20:40] <Rhino_Ak> Vlet: here's what I have
[20:41] <lufis> oficina: how are you compiling it?
[20:41] <^rike^> for example: (Could not refresh stations cache) - There is no available network connection
[20:41] <Rhino_Ak> /usr = avail/used = 3.5/3.1
[20:41] <j0hn> i need to copy a dir into the /opt dir, which requires root privilges. can somebody please tell me how to do this?
[20:41] <Sitting_Duck> Ubuntu can't read from my DVD drive despite my having installed all of the codecs to play DVD's. Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux?
[20:41] <Niekk> Hey, My ubuntu freezes sometimes .. why ?
[20:41] <Tone> j0hn, sudo cp /dir /otherdir
[20:41] <burwaco> kolby, what's up ?
[20:42] <lufis> Niekk: you're going to have to be more specific than that
[20:42] <Tone> my laptop goes to stanby/suspend with the livecd but not on the installed gutsy. anyone can help me out ?
[20:42] <j0hn> Tone: i tried that. it says /dir is being omitted.
[20:42] <sekas> lufis: thats pretty specific ;)
[20:42] <oficina> lufis: I compiling it using it's "./configure --prefix=/usr"
[20:42] <kkathman> Niekk,  could be a hundred reasons why
[20:42] <ewin> Hello. My USB drive stopped working after the last batch of updates. Does anyone know off hand why that might be? It's a 250gb seagate HD in fat32 and I'm getting  usb 2-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71 in the logs.
[20:42] <Niekk> lufis: I have googled, and I thinkt it has something to do with compiz
[20:42] <LadyNikon> whats the command to upgrade to the new release?
[20:42] <oficina> as the readme tells me to do
[20:42] <Niekk> I use Ubuntu Gutsy
[20:42] <kolby> burwaco: not much
[20:42] <lufis> oficina: and it doesn't show up in the theme window?
[20:43] <sekas> Niekk how often does it happen?
[20:43] <burwaco> kolby, does compiz work now ?
[20:43] <Vlet> Rhino_Ak: I understand, but I don't know what you want me to tell you how to do
[20:43] <lufis> oficina: did you "make" and "sudo make install" as well?
[20:43] <Sitting_Duck> Ubuntu can't read from my DVD drive despite my having installed all of the codecs to play DVD's. Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux?
[20:43] <kolby> burwaco: I was actually helping some else.  poor guy restarted his X server twice after issueing the same wrong command to install xserver-xorg
[20:43] <kolby> burwaco: I meant xserver-xgl
[20:43] <Sitting_Duck> I installed using the DVD drive, so it must be reading data DVD's okay.
[20:43] <oficina> lufis, no, should I?
[20:44] <lufis> oficina: Yes ;) that's what compiles it
[20:44] <SkaKatzE> hey everyone
[20:44] <kolby> burwaco: see how I am?  Well I sent him an email explaining it all after you helped me
[20:44] <kolby> SkaKatzE: hi
[20:44] <sekas> Niekk Open a console and run "top" in it, have it visable, and with a bit of luck you will be able to see the process utilizing your full CPU in that console when it happens..
[20:44] <ewin> Does anyone have experiance with their USB Hard drives not working?
[20:44] <burwaco> hehe
[20:44] <oficina> tried it, it says no rule to process target 'install'
[20:45] <SkaKatzE> i have a problem with my mic, could anyone help me?
[20:45] <lufis> oficina: after running ./configure?
[20:45] <ewin> I've seen a bunch of forum posts about the usb automount trouble, and that was finally solved by one of the suggestions... but after this last update, I don't even see it on lsusb anymore.
[20:45] <oficina> lufis: yes, after ./configure
[20:45] <lufis> oficina: and you're in the right directory?
[20:46] <oficina> yes I am
[20:46] <Niekk> sekas: No, it has nothing to do with some CPU eating process or something ..
[20:46] <Tone> j0hn, try: sudo mc, and then try to copy with mc
[20:46] <ewin> It just keeps saying the device is not accepting address xx over and over again, then times out.
[20:46] <lufis> oficina: run "pwd" and paste it to me
[20:46] <Danaman5> hi, I want to change my default printer, but none of the printer settings apps will open
[20:46] <lufis> Danaman5: running firestarter, perchance?
[20:46] <j0hn> Tone: i'll give that a try. one sec
[20:46] <oficina> lufis: /home/suporte/Área de Trabalho/gtk-engine-experience-0.10.4
[20:46] <ewin> Did anyone have similar problems with their usb drives?
[20:46] <Danaman5> lufis: yes, I am
[20:46] <MarcoDFW> Hello I just reinstall from scratch ubuntu 7.10 gutsy it's clean, I wan to activate the 3D effects, is any one knows how to do that
[20:47] <lufis> Danaman5: try disabling it and then trying it
[20:47] <digitize> ewin, my ipod isn't mounting
[20:47] <Tone> omg
[20:47] <Danaman5> lufis: ok, hold on
[20:47] <j0hn> Tone: sudo: mc: command not found
[20:47] <Sitting_Duck> Ubuntu can't read video from my DVD drive despite my having installed all of the codecs to play DVD's. Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux?
[20:47] <ewin> digitize: Did it mount before?
[20:47] <Tone> j0hn, then install mc
[20:47] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: what graphic card do you have ?
[20:47] <digitize> ewin, yes, this is happening on two identical pc's
[20:47] <sekas> Niekk based on what?
[20:47] <j0hn> Tone: i'll check synaptic...
[20:47] <MarcoDFW> Intel I865
[20:47] <ewin> digitize:  Did it happen after the last update?
[20:47] <lufis> oficina: run "make clean"
[20:47] <digitize> ewin, one of them hasn't been updated since 7.10
[20:47] <Niekk> sekas: because it happens on other times. Like, I'm writing an email or something, or publish what I am currently listening too on IRC>
[20:47] <oficina> no rule for processeing clean
[20:47] <Niekk> .
[20:48] <oficina> lufis: no rule to process target clean
[20:48] <oficina> the same as make install
[20:48] <lufis> oficina: weird... run "ls" and paste it to me as a pm
[20:48] <ewin> digitize: Do you see something like  usb 2-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71 in your logs when you plug it in?
[20:48] <Danaman5> lufis: I still can't get it to work.  Do I need to disable the firewall or shut down the whole program?
[20:48] <digitize> i'm not even sure where those logs are
[20:48] <sekas> Niekk can be an underlaying process that always runs anyways?
[20:48] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: I activate the visual effects but dunno where to go for the compiz settings 3D
[20:48] <Niekk> When I look on the inet, it has something to do with compiz or something ?   but my X server doesn't seems to catch keystrokes, and my music "hangs" (u know, repeating the last second or something)
[20:48] <digitize> ewin, where might i pull them up?
[20:48] <sekas> Think you should listen to my advice and try
[20:48] <lufis> Danaman5: did you disable it? if you open the gui, it will have a button "Disable firewall"
[20:48] <kilts-R-us> MarcoDFW: system>preferences>appearance. visual effects tab
[20:49] <ewin> digitize: system, admin, system log
[20:49] <Cherry> ciao a tutti
[20:49] <digitize> niekk: you need a pkg, compiz-config-settings? maybe
[20:49] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: , apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:49] <Niekk> sekas: when i run top on times like this, wich i did, top is above :P
[20:49] <lufis> Danaman5: for some reason i've had trouble with my printer because of firestarter
[20:49] <ewin> digitize: check the messages one
[20:49] <sekas> ahh.. =/
[20:49] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: let me try that
[20:49] <ewin> digitize: you'll see the lines being put in right after you plug in your device
[20:49] <Danaman5> lufis: I hit the "stop firewall" button, and now there is a red stop thing in my task bar
[20:49] <lufis> ok
[20:49] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: after the install it shows up in system > Preferences
[20:49] <lufis> Danaman5: now try configuring your printer
[20:49] <digitize> ewin, not seeing anything like that
[20:50] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: I'm getting this "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)"
[20:50] <ewin> digitize: You don't have a little system log icon in your admin menu?
[20:50] <MarcoDFW> I might needt to set up the root pass
[20:50] <Danaman5> lufis: none of the programs will open, still
[20:50] <digitize> ewin, i do, i don't see the usb message
[20:50] <ewin> digitize: Also, it might be some place else in KDE, heh. Gnome on this end.
[20:50] <ewin> digitize: Oh really? Nothing at all under messages?
[20:50] <lufis> Danaman5: what printer?
[20:51] <ewin> digitize: It should start with something like 'New High Speed USB device plugged in"
[20:51] <digitize> yeah
[20:51] <NorthByNorthWest> I've shared a folder via NFS to my fathers computer, 240 km away, by sharing it to his IP-adress... but I dont know how to connecto to the shared folder from his computer. Does anyone here know?
[20:51] <digitize> i'm seeing that now
[20:51] <ewin> digitize: is it the same thing? your device won't accept any addresses?
[20:51] <Danaman5> lufis: I want to be clear: I am able to print just fine, but I have to change from the default printer setting to the correct setting.  I just want to change the default to make life easier for myself
[20:52] <digitize> i don't see anything like hat
[20:52] <lufis> Danaman5: oh ok, on gutsy?
[20:52] <ewin> digitize: oh.. maybe yo have another issue
[20:52] <digitize> scsi emu for usb mass storage
[20:52] <Danaman5> lufis: yup
[20:52] <digitize> direct-access apple ipod
[20:52] <digitize> it see's the ipod quite fine
[20:52] <lufis> Danaman5: you're trying the "Default printer" entry in the system > administration menu right?
[20:52] <Danaman5> lufis: yeah
[20:52] <lufis> Danaman5: preferences*
[20:52] <MarcoDFW> Burwaco: I think I will need to set up the root pass, this is a virgin system just installed
[20:52] <lufis> Danaman5: what printer?
[20:53] <Niekk> ekas: any suggestions ? (did I wrote that word right ? :P )
[20:53] <Danaman5> lufis: I think it is a Samsung ML-2010
[20:53] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: , do 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' then...
[20:53] <ewin> eh, I have to part
[20:53] <OldPink> I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this?
[20:53] <ewin> back late
[20:53] <lufis> Danaman5: try system > administration > printing
[20:54] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: I did that but it fails " E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[20:54] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: I think I need to set up the root pass
[20:54] <MarcoDFW> how do i do that
[20:54] <OldPink> MarcoDFW: When you get that it means you're already using a package manager elsewhere, or haven't used sudo in the command
[20:54] <snkmad> how do i make a ISO file out of a cd?
[20:54] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: , do 'SUDO apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' it asks for rootpass then, no ?
[20:55] <Clinton__> burwaco: it will ask you for your password
[20:55] <nicolah> how do I deactivate the error "beep" in gutsy ?
[20:55] <kane77> I'm trying to use sshfs.. I mounted it, but I need to be root to view it, how can I make it allow me to read and write without being root?
[20:55] <Cherry> uff
[20:55] <MystaMax> nicolah, sound preferences
[20:55] <cthomas> Hi guys, can anybody tell my why there is no "plug" plugin in gutsy for alsa anymore? Or am I just plain stupid?
[20:55] <burwaco> Clinton__: I know :-)
[20:55] <Clinton__> kane77: in your fstab, add users next to default
[20:55] <Danaman5> lufis: That one doesn't do anything.  It says "Starting Printing" in the program bar, but then just shuts down
[20:55] <nicolah> thanks MystaMax
[20:55] <lufis> Danaman5: hm, i dunno then
[20:55] <MarcoDFW> burwaco same thing, is asking for a super user account
[20:55] <snkmad> nicolah go to system->preferences->sound->system beep
[20:55] <ActySofts> Can anyone tell me how do I set Thunderbird as default mail client instead of Evolution?
[20:55] <OldPink> I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this?
[20:56] <ActySofts> TB doesn't seem to be able to set itself as default
[20:56] <Danaman5> lufis: luckily, it isn't a huge deal, since I am actually able to print, I
[20:56] <MarcoDFW> I think I need to set up the root pass first am I
[20:56] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: the password is your user password...
[20:56] <Danaman5> lufis: I just wonder what the problem could be
[20:56] <lufis> Danaman5: could try restarting cups..  /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
[20:56] <michelecs> Why even I set my apt-build to use the '-O3' some packages are still compiled using '-O2'?
[20:56] <MarcoDFW> I know I had the synaptic open
[20:56] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: , do 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'  and enter your user password...
[20:56] <snkmad> how do i make a ISO file out of a cd?
[20:56] <lufis> Danaman5: as root
[20:56] <minus198> Is there any other way to get the name of the user, other than "echo $USER" ?
[20:56] <Clinton__> michelecs: they aren't compatible for compilation with -O3 and will override your settings
[20:57] <MarcoDFW> burwaco: should I say yes to this : "Install these packages without verification [y/N]?"
[20:57] <michelecs> lufis, try using whoami
[20:57] <burwaco> minus198: whoami
[20:57] <minus198> burwaco, thanks
[20:57] <minus198> MarcoDFW, yes
[20:57] <MystaMax> ActySofts, go to system -> pref -> preferred apps
[20:57] <lufis> michelecs: :o
[20:57] <minus198> MarcoDFW, its safe...
[20:57] <ActySofts> can anyone tell me how to set Thunderbird as the default mail client?
[20:57] <MarcoDFW> Thanks burwaco & minus198
[20:57] <Clinton__> ActySofts: MystaMax just told you how
[20:58] <ActySofts> yeah, I was typing and didn't see :P
[20:58] <MarcoDFW> Burwaco: do I need to restart my x server crt + backspace or should it work after installation?
[20:58] <kane77> Clinton__, I don't have fstab entry for this
[20:58] <burwaco> MarcoDFW: should work now...
[20:58] <MystaMax> MarcoDFW, right click your desktop and go to change background
[20:58] <jroes> how can I install truetype fonts from the console?
[20:58] <Clinton__> kane77: without an fstab entry you will not be able to allow just anyone to do it
[20:59] <Danaman5> lufis: I can't get that to work, it says "command not found"
[20:59] <MystaMax> then go to the visual effects tab
[20:59] <ActySofts> MystaMax: thanks
[20:59] <lufis> jroes: move them into ./fonts
[20:59] <MarcoDFW> Thanks to ALL you guys rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[20:59] <lufis> Danaman5: sudo /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart  ?
[20:59] <bstock> anyway for me to be able to write to /sys/modules/usbhid/parameters/ ? as root, it still gives me permission denied
[20:59] <kane77> is there something like interactive diff that can merge files so I can choose what lines to keep?
[20:59] <jroes>  ./fonts?
[20:59] <jroes> in a current directory?
[20:59] <jroes> er, in my current directory?
[20:59] <lufis> jroes: in the home directory
[20:59] <kane77> bstock, how are you trying to do this?
[20:59] <jroes> weird
[20:59] <jroes> ok
[21:00] <lufis> er
[21:00] <ActySofts> now, does anyone know why when I press a key at the wrong time (eg back-space in an empty input box) I hear a beep in my motherboard's speaker instead from my pci sound card?
[21:00] <bstock> kane77: as root, from terminal
[21:00] <lufis> jroes: ~/.fonts
[21:00] <jroes> ohhh ok
[21:00] <Danaman5> lufis: ok, got it to restart.  Unfortunately, it had no effect
[21:00] <bstock> kane77: i try to touch a new file in there and it gives me permission denied, even as root
[21:00] <lufis> Danaman5: dunno then :(
[21:00] <Jadd455> I keep getting hash sum mismatch errors when installing packages on my gutsy. I've tried switching servers on software sources, but I still end up with the same errors, but for different packages
[21:00] <sam_> I have gutsy and a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312  the restricted driver manager says that firmware for broadcom 43xxx is in use. iwconfig shows http://pastebin.ca/758030 but network manager wireless is all 'greyed out' and inaccessible. Why?
[21:00] <Danaman5> lufis: thanks anyway, I'll poke around a bit and see what I can do
[21:00] <burwaco> ActySofts: I knew that one, drove me nuts...
[21:01] <MystaMax> ActySofts, System -> Pref -> Sounds -> System Beep tab
[21:01] <jroes> awesome lufis
[21:01] <jroes> thanks
[21:01] <ActySofts> thanks again!

[21:04] <Jadd455> What does the hash sum eroor even mean?
[21:04] <Clinton__> Jadd455: means the file is not what is expected
[21:04] <sam_> MystaMax, I have a window open that says 'network manager' at the top. do you mean the panel applet?
[21:04] <OldPink> I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this?
[21:04] <Iceshadow> I've got a 160GB IDE Seagate drive in a USB external enclosure, plug it in, and i get a "scsi 7:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" in dmesg. Nothing in blkid, etc. Any one have any ideas?
[21:04] <bee1> first day i have ever used linux... ever. anyone up to the task of helping a newbie like me with wine questions
[21:04] <bstock> anyone know why i cannot touch a file in /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/ even as root?
[21:05] <MystaMax> sam_, yes the panel applet, which is called nm-applet
[21:05] <snkmad> "mkisofs -r -o ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0"  will this backup my ubuntu cd to iso correctly?
[21:05] <Jadd455> thx anyways
[21:05] <bstock> snkmad: you can do 'dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=LinuxFile.iso'
[21:05] <ActySofts> Does anyone know a Subversion client that integrates nicely into gnome as TortoiseSVN does on Windows? (I'm currently using RapidSVN)
[21:05] <ActySofts> I've seen a few, but for KDE :(
[21:05] <Clinton__> ActySofts: hrm, that's one I'd like to know about
[21:06] <rootkitted> Help!
[21:06] <snkmad> bstock but the way i posted will work?
[21:06] <rootkitted> I may be rootkitted!
[21:06] <Pat_the_Pat> Hi I'm trying to install ubuntu/xubuntu on an old computer, I get the boot screen from the liveCD, but as soon as it tries to load the desktop, I get a small wobbling and blinking window in the middle of the screen, I tried pluging a more recent screen and it worked, does somebody know if there might be some frequency that I can set somewhere ???
[21:06] <bstock> snkmad: not sure, haven't used mkisofs much
[21:06] <burwaco> Is there anyone that got GTA San Andreas running on linux ?
[21:06] <cyberjames> nice nick
[21:06] <snkmad> bstock ok gonna try ur way then
[21:06] <Clinton__> Pa
[21:06] <bstock> snkmad: i do it that way all the time for all sorts of cd
[21:06] <bstock> cds
[21:06] <amidaniel> ActySofts: Might take a look at SmartSVN
[21:06] <Clinton__> Pat_the_Pat:  you may want to try text only install
[21:07] <ActySofts> amidaniel: I will, thanks
[21:07] <Goosemoose> hi guys. im setting up 270 edubuntu machines on our school network and am trying to intergrate it partially with our windows 2003 servers. is there any way to have the users login authenticate using ldap against windows active directory?
[21:07] <amidaniel> ActySofts: I personally just prefer the cli, but that's me :)
[21:07] <burwaco> Pat_the_Pat: or try the alternate cd...
[21:07] <ActySofts> yea, but it fails strangely for me
[21:07] <amidaniel> ActySofts: "fails"? How so?
[21:07] <Pat_the_Pat> what's the difference with the alternate CD ?
[21:07] <sam_> MystaMax, I have a applet called 'Network monitor' I do not see a applet called network manager anywhere
[21:08] <ActySofts> when committing it always finds the path to the changed directories/files as /home/mircea/Sampi/Source/the
[21:08] <ActySofts> O.o
[21:08] <drama1981> Pat_the_Pat: text based install
[21:08] <MystaMax> sam_, open terminal and type nm-applet
[21:08] <Clinton__> ActySofts: try nautilus-script-collection-svn
[21:08] <rootkitted> I had just recovered from a priorly infected install, I wiped out everything on my disk but /home, and I have been running for a few days when my system shut down unexpectedly. I then booted from a livecd, ran rkhunter -c -r /media/disk and got this:
[21:08] <rootkitted> I had just recovered from a priorly infected install, I wiped out everything on my disk but /home, and I have been running for a few days when my system shut down unexpectedly. I then booted from a livecd, ran rkhunter -c -r /media/disk and got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42951/
[21:08] <Pat_the_Pat> what about the text install fromthe start menu ? any different from the alternate cd ?
[21:08] <snkmad> bstock dd: opening `/dev/cdrom0': No such file or directory
[21:08] <amidaniel> ActySofts: Hmmm .. that's an odd one :)
[21:09] <sam_> MystaMax, nothing happened. Should i sudo? sam@sam-laptop:~$ nm-applet
[21:09] <drama1981> Pat_the_Pat: you mean you have a disc with both text and live? is it the dvd?
[21:09] <amidaniel> ActySofts: You probably have some odd environment variable set .. might try doing a complete remove / reinstall
[21:09] <bstock> snkmad: might just be /dev/cdrom
[21:09] <rootkitted> Help!!!! I think I have been rootkitted!!!
[21:09] <bstock> listen for your drive to spin up
[21:09] <Neochivers> hi ima linux newb and need some help setting up ubuntu ..
[21:09] <ActySofts> amidaniel: maybe, but I reinstalled it about 5 times...
[21:10] <burwaco> Goosemoose: is this you ? http://indianalinux.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
[21:10] <MystaMax> sam_, do you have "Notification area" added to your panel?
[21:10] <Pat_the_Pat> I didn't try yet the text option, but I believe there's the option on the cd
[21:10] <rootkitted> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42952/
[21:10] <snkmad> bstock i think its working, but it doesnt show the progress, only when its done?
[21:10] <Rhino_Ak> what's the command to list files by name
[21:10] <Clinton__> Rhino_Ak: ls
[21:10] <Rhino_Ak> ls ??
[21:10] <ActySofts> also, does anyone know why while streaming via XMMS, Firefox takes a huge time to connect to any server? (tried it on google.com and it takes 3 mins...)
[21:10] <bstock> ya, should just go to the next line when it's done
[21:10] <burwaco> Rhino_Ak: man ls
[21:11] <Rhino_Ak> is there a switch
[21:11] <Goosemoose> burwaco, no
[21:11] <sam_> i do now.. and wireless is enabled..
[21:11] <snkmad> bstock thx man, now, how can i check the md5?
[21:11] <bstock> you can open another terminal window and type 'ls -alh <file.iso>' and it'll show you the size
[21:11] <Clinton__> snkmad: md5sum filename
[21:11] <snkmad> thx
[21:11] <Goosemoose> ok, stuff is moving here fast, i dont think i've seen a response to my question
[21:11] <burwaco> Goosemoose: this guy is trying something similar I think...
[21:11] <MystaMax> sam_, ok so left click the nm-applet and see if you see any networks
[21:11] <Clinton__> Goosemoose: what was it?
[21:11] <Goosemoose> clinton hi guys. im setting up 270 edubuntu machines on our school network and am trying to intergrate it partially with our windows 2003 servers. is there any way to have the users login authenticate using ldap against windows active directory?
[21:11] <drama1981> Pat_the_Pat:  ok if there is a text based install on your disc then it is the same yea. you must have the dvd though( dvd is live and alternate combined) but i cant be sure since i havent used a disc since fiesty
[21:11] <Goosemoose> burwaco, let me look at it
[21:12] <burwaco> Goosemoose: second article...
[21:12] <Clinton__> Goosemoose: you might try the forums/google for that question, I've seen it answered there somewhere
[21:12] <sam_> no there is no button next to wireless - only wired. I am sat next to my access point
[21:12] <faruk_> iyi geceler
[21:12] <snkmad> where can i find the md5 for ubuntu iso's?
[21:12] <cyberjames> site
[21:12] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[21:13] <Clinton__> snkmad: they're right there with the iso's, loko down a couple more and you'll see md5sum files
[21:13] <Neochivers> Im attempting to install ubuntu but I get the error "ata 501 : failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)" ... In the past my IDE controller ( JMicron JMB363 ) has been abit iffey about transfer modes, could this be the problem???
[21:13] <rootkitted> snkmad: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+md5+iso&btnG=Google+Search
[21:13] <Neochivers> if so what fixes are there?
[21:13] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, thanks
[21:13] <cizarr> Hi, anyone know why i dont see the GRUB boot loader when booting?
[21:13] <rootkitted> snkmad: fourth one down: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/MD5SUMS
[21:13] <burwaco> Goosemoose: spot on... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[21:13] <Goosemoose> yup, im reading that now
[21:13] <Goosemoose> thanks guys
[21:14] <Clinton__> Goosemoose: you'll all be very interested in clusterssh
[21:14] <snkmad> thx guys
[21:14] <Goosemoose> now i just need to figure out how to roll out updates to all the machines at once
[21:14] <kane77> is there a program that can encrypt a partition?
[21:14] <rolf_> @cizarr: You can configure grub to show on startup
[21:14] <Clinton__> Goosemoose: I just told you how :)
[21:14] <Goosemoose> Clinton__, what does clusterssh do? allow me to ssh into multiple machines at once?
[21:14] <Clinton__> Goosemoose: yup
[21:14] <Neochivers> Im attempting to install ubuntu but I get the error "ata 501 : failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)" ... In the past my IDE controller ( JMicron JMB363 ) has been abit iffey about transfer modes, could this be the problem??? is there a way I can manually set the transfer mode used?? :)
[21:14] <MystaMax> and run the same commands on all the boxes?
[21:14] <Clinton__> yup
[21:14] <Clinton__> MystaMax: yup
[21:14] <MystaMax> thats awesome
[21:14] <Goosemoose> Clinton__, interesting. ive been running linux server for years as webservers. running as workstations is new to me
[21:15] <Goosemoose> seriously
[21:15] <cizarr> rolf_ : how can i configure it while the computer only booting Vista?
[21:15] <mEck0> mpd is running nicely now, except the soundquality which isn't so good :/ what could be wrong? it isn't so clear and "crisp" as with other music players
[21:15] <MystaMax> sam_, so if you left click the nm-applet what do you see?
[21:15] <burwaco> Goosemoose: now it becomes complicated... ;-)
[21:16] <Goosemoose> burwaco, seriously
[21:16] <Swift> Hey guys, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu
[21:16] <Swift> when I try to install from cd, it takes me to a command line
[21:16] <bastid_raZor> i got conky from apt-get .. where is the conkyrc file so i can edit it?
[21:16] <MystaMax> Swift, did yo uget the right ISO
[21:16] <MystaMax> did you
[21:16] <Swift> I'm pretty sure I did
[21:17] <sam_> a radio button next to 'wired network'  the words 'wireless network' but no radio button
[21:17] <Clinton__> bastid_raZor: dpkg -L conky   to see where it keeps its files
[21:17] <bastid_raZor> Clinton__, thanks
[21:17] <cizarr> question wording: after install gutsy(cli) on a computer already booting vista, i dont get the boot screen that allow me choosing my OS... it just booting vista :(
[21:17] <rolf_> @cizarr: I think in most case grub show a little message on startup, for about 5 sec
[21:17] <snkmad> strange, i made 2 isos of my ubuntu cd, one using mkisofs, other dd, and none of them matched the md5..
[21:17] <MystaMax> sam_, try rebooting, also is your SSID on broadcast?
[21:18] <cizarr> rolf_: i can see for 1sec no luck to hold it or something
[21:18] <sam_> SSid - yes
[21:18] <BigTrouble> Hi everyone, who can help me out to download, install and configure Danger-ircd ( Freenode irc daemon ) ?
[21:18] <cizarr> x<1sec heh
[21:18] <sam_> i have not made any changes so why would rebooting have an effect?
[21:19] <BigTrouble> i just need to make the download and install, nothing more
[21:19] <MystaMax> cizarr, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:19] <MystaMax> cizarr, read that file
[21:19] <MystaMax> and change the timeout
[21:19] <cizarr> MystaMax: how could i access it in Vista?
[21:19] <bstock> anyone know why i cannot touch a file in /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/ even as root?
[21:19] <sebas_> I've lost connection with the Internet (using wired connection) I think it has something to do with the fact that I changed the shell from bash to zsh, can someone help me please?
[21:20] <MystaMax> sam_, its my suggestion, either you do or you don't
[21:20] <tomd123> sebas_: can't you just change the shell back and see if it works?
[21:20] <rolf_> cizarr: Did you press "ENTER" or "F5"(I think...)
[21:20] <rgs_> do I have to install something special to get a memory card to work on my laptop (Ubuntu 7.04) ?
[21:20] <MystaMax> cizarr, your ubuntu install is probably EXT3, so you'd have to install a driver to read from that partition
[21:20] <cizarr> rolf_: should i?
[21:20] <rgs_> dmesg says something but I've got no /dev/mmc*
[21:20] <sam_> OK I will try it - but nothing has changed
[21:21] <sebas_> tomd123: I unintentionally removed it.. maybe you could help me to restore it
[21:21] <Goosemoose> anyone done this before: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto ?
[21:21] <cizarr> MystaMax: yes EXT3. where can i find that driver?
[21:21] <Goosemoose> If I mirror image all the hard drives im wondering if there will be aproblem with the computer names being the same. i guess i'd have to set them all manually
[21:21] <MystaMax> cizarr, do you have your install CD?
[21:21] <cizarr> MystaMax: yes.
[21:22] <The_Joe_> I ran into a weird bug and most of my Preferences Menu has gone after trying to re-organise it, can anyone DCC me a list of default commands I can add back in?
[21:22] <MystaMax> cizarr, boot the LiveCD and then browse to the /boot/grub/ folder
[21:22] <NorthByNorthWest> Does anyone know how to connect to a NFS folder over internet? Cant find any guides!
[21:22] <cizarr> alirght...
[21:22] <rolf_> cizarr: When you press the key, the bootmenu should be shown
[21:22] <MystaMax> much easier than installing the windows driver
[21:22] <matt__> anyone good with getopts?
[21:22] <cizarr> doing it... lets see, thanks
[21:22] <matt__> ?
[21:22] <MystaMax> not sure what getopts is
[21:22] <snkmad> Clinton__ rootkitted i made the iso using mkisofs and dd, but none of the images matched the md5sum
[21:23] <oz_> when I use apt-get it warns about 'ldconfig deferred processing now taking place' is this something I should worry about ?
[21:23] <The_Joe_> oz_: That's normal
[21:23] <matt__> well
[21:23] <matt__> im making a java program
[21:23] <The_Joe_> oz_: Nothing to worry about
[21:23] <cizarr> rolf_: F5? or Enter? i didnt press it... its require to show the Grub boot menu?
[21:23] <matt__> and i use getopts so i can pass flags to the program when ran
[21:23] <cizarr> *required
[21:23] <matt__> im using a make file
[21:24] <sebas_> I unintentionally removed /bin/bash, how can I restore it?
[21:24] <matt__> and trying to run the program passing it flags
[21:24] <matt__> and im getting a noclassdef founderror
[21:24] <oz_> The_Joe_, how do I stop it ? What the meaning of it ? I tried googling but I still don't understand why this warnning appears
[21:24] <matt__> when using the jar file made
[21:24] <matt__> but when i just use java printer -H
[21:24] <matt__> it works
[21:24] <The_Joe_> oz_: You don't need to stop it
[21:24] <matt__> and dispalys the help menu
[21:24] <matt__> for example
[21:24] <The_Joe_> oz_: It's completely normal, not a warning
[21:25] <MystaMax> oz_, The_Joe_  there seems to be a bug for this, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/156041#cooliris
[21:25] <MystaMax> woops take the cooliris of the end
[21:25] <The_Joe_> Oh he didn't say it was hanging on it
[21:25] <rootkitted> snkmad: what speed did your burner use?
[21:26] <flo> did i found the ubuntu channel?!
[21:26] <MystaMax> sam_, any luck
[21:26] <sam_> MystaMax, yes :)
[21:26] <The_Joe_> Yes, flo
[21:26] <snkmad> rootkitted i dont remember, 8x or 48x, the only ones i use
[21:26] <MystaMax> sam_, wait so the reboot worked?
[21:26] <sam_> Thanks - and sorry for doubting :)
[21:26] <flo> yeah!
[21:26] <Symmetria> hrm, I just ordered more hardware am very very interested to see how well it works on my ubuntu systems
[21:27] <orionr> Has only one here have any success in setting up dual monitors?
[21:27] <MystaMax> sam_, so you understand what happen, i don't think nm-applet was running, and when you ran it at the CLI it started it but couldn't find any networks. I have the same Broadcom card
[21:27] <sam_> Yeah thanks for that
[21:27] <skarface> how do I change the default behavior for .torrent files in lynx?
[21:27] <The_Joe_> I ran into a weird bug and most of my Preferences Menu has gone after trying to re-organise it, can anyone DCC me a list of default commands I can add back in? At least the Screen Resolution command
[21:27] <flo> could someone help me? just beginner's question...
[21:27] <rootkitted> snkmad: try 4x
[21:27] <rootkitted> and verify the md5 of the ISO
[21:27] <orionr> Does anyone know how to set up duel monitors?
[21:27] <Don_jr2> I just downloaded gcc with aptitude, now it's installed how do I run/use it?
[21:27] <MystaMax> Oriona, what video card do u have?
[21:27] <nickrud> orionr: give them both knives
[21:28] <Symmetria> Orionr what do you wanna know about setting em up, I run dual monitors on mine with a gforce 6800
[21:28] <snkmad> rootkitted 4x to burn the cd? i dont have the original iso anymore, thats why i wanna make a iso of the cd
[21:28] <Eli_> hi
[21:28] <MystaMax> orionr, yea its pretty easy w/ nvidia, not sure about ATI
[21:28] <matt__> whats the command to change the shell?
[21:28] <orionr> symmetria: cool we both have the same video cards. How did you set up dual monitors i tied using the manager and it didnt work
[21:28] <orionr> i have an nvidia card
[21:28] <rootkitted> snkmad: ot a good idea. too many problem chances.
[21:29] <flo> nobody?
[21:29] <MystaMax> Orionr, did you install the nvidia driver w/ the restricted manager
[21:29] <The_Joe_> What about Appearence?
[21:29] <orionr> i tried using the gui tool in system->administratoin->sreen and graphics
[21:29] <Symmetria> Oriona what problems did you have? the only issue I had was that the mode lines for the type of monitors I have werent correct in ubuntu, so I had to hack at them
[21:29] <snkmad> rootkitted well ill just download the iso again
[21:29] <orionr> MystaMax: yes i used the restriced manager to install the drivers
[21:29] <nickrud> The_Joe_: you can try deleting all the .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications (your custom stuff) and then killall gnome-panel to regenerate them
[21:29] <Symmetria> Orionr apt-get install ndivia-glx is what I did first
[21:29] <Symmetria> nvidia-glx I mean
[21:30] <MystaMax> Symmetria, he already used the restricted manager
[21:30] <MystaMax> so they should be installed
[21:30] <flo> a german here?
[21:30] <Don_jr2> how do I get into gcc after I've gotten it installed?
[21:30] <orionr> Symmetria: im using nvidia-glx-new right now
[21:30] <The_Joe_> nickrud: Ok just trying it
[21:30] <orionr> symmetria: are you running 7.10?
[21:30] <nickrud> Don_jr2: it's not an itnteractive app, it's a compiler you can run on source code
[21:30] <MystaMax> orionr, open the  terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings
[21:30] <BrightEyes`> how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing
[21:30] <nickrud> *interactive, even
[21:30] <Symmetria> orionr yeah
[21:31] <Don_jr2> nickrud Alright, so once it's installed I shouldn't get the error that I don't have a c compiler when I try to do the makefile then?
[21:31] <orionr> MystaMax: yea i dont have all of the settings in nvidia-settings
[21:31] <The_Joe_> nickrud: Wonderful! Thanks
[21:31] <bastid_raZor> i have dual monitors working with an nVidia 7600 Gt but one monitor has the desktop bigger than the window. i can scroll around inside the window
[21:31] <nickrud> Don_jr2: yes, make should work now
[21:31] <orionr> Symmetrica: did you set up duel display with nvidia-settings?
[21:31] <Don_jr2> nickrud thanks
[21:31] <flo> hmkay, i just ask...
[21:31] <nickrud> Don_jr2: you should install build-essential though, since it pulls in other stuff you'll need to have
[21:31] <Symmetria> orionr no, I installed the nvidia-glx then enabled both monitors in the manager and then hacked at the mode lines in xorg.conf manually because the dell 2407-wfp mode lines that ship with ubuntu arent correct
[21:32] <matt__> what's the command to switch shell?
[21:32] <The_Joe_> What's the package name for Java 5? I accidently installed both 6 and 5
[21:32] <orionr> Symmetrica: so you have to edit your xorg.config file to get this to work right?
[21:32] <nickrud> The_Joe_: sun-java5-jre
[21:32] <The_Joe_> Thanks
[21:32] <MystaMax> orionr, i didn't. I'm not sure why your nvidia-settings would be any diff from mine
[21:32] <Symmetria> orionr no, the only reason I had to do that was becuase of the monitors I was running
[21:33] <orionr> mystaMax are you running dual display?
[21:33] <MystaMax> Orionr, yes two Dell 24's
[21:33] <nickrud> The_Joe_: you can have both installed, and switch back and forth with sudo update-alternatives --config java
[21:33] <orionr> mystraMax: did you set it up using nvidia-settings?
[21:33] <MystaMax> orionr, yes, im looking at it now
[21:33] <flo> i try to execute an installation, but nothing happens... whats wrong?!
[21:34] <The_Joe_> nickrud: Yeah it's just the space issue and Java 5 is less up to date than 6
[21:34] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, what is the command to get into those settings?
[21:34] <Don_jr2> nickrud when I try to run 'make' I get 'Bash: make command not found'
[21:34] <nickrud> flo: because the installation is immortal? (but actually, a clearer question would help ;)
[21:34] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, sudo nvidia-settings
[21:35] <MystaMax> i can't get my Samsung 22 to work w/ a Dell D620 and a docking station... thats what Im working on now.
[21:35] <The_Joe_> Ok most of my problems are solved until 8.04 hopefully fixes the Acer sound problem
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, any idea why my 2nd monitor would be bigger than the screen? both are set to 1280x1024
[21:35] <tag-> pidgin keeps crashing
[21:35] <The_Joe_> Toodloo
[21:35] <nickrud> The_Joe_: hda sound?
[21:36] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, im not sure whta you mean, bigger than the screen?
[21:36] <BrightEyes`> how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing
[21:36] <flo> ok, i try to install a vpn-client. i downloaded it and double clicked the install-file. now a new window appears, i can choose "execute in terminal" "show" "execute" and "cancel"
[21:36] <The_Joe_> Sorry what's that about hda sound?
[21:36] <orionr> MystaMax: im sorry to keep asking you this but in the nvidia-settings app there is an option to set up dual displays there?
[21:36] <nickrud> matt__: what do you mean, 'switch shell'?
[21:36] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, for example. if i have the toolbars in the 2nd monitor i move the mouse up andthe screen will scroll up and the bottom toolbar will scroll out of the screen.
[21:37] <matt__> tcsh
[21:37] <nickrud> The_Joe_: the sound card, doesn't your acer have intel hda sound?
[21:37] <BrightEyes`> how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing
[21:37] <flo> but nothing happens, when i choose one of the execution-buttons
[21:37] <MystaMax> Oriona, yes, if you go to the X Server Display Config section...
[21:37] <nelcon24> does anyone have any info on the disappearing mouse pointer bug? im looking for a fix or workaround.
[21:37] <vega-> hmm, is the debian/ subdirectory deliberately empty in gutsy's linux-source-2.6.22 package ?
[21:37] <The_Joe_> nickrud: Yes, I get no sound unless I unmute surround or plug in my headphones
[21:37] <vega-> there should be kernel config files and rules in there afaik
[21:38] <matt__> nm
[21:38] <matt__> i got it
[21:38] <Sitting_Duck> I have a SATA DVD drive that Ubuntu can read data from but can't play movies from. I've installed all of the necessary codecs, but still can't play video. What am I missing?
[21:38] <Don_jr2> I have gcc installed when I try to run 'make' it tells me 'Bash: make command not found and on 'config' I get error no acceptable c compiler found in $path.  How can I fix this?
[21:38] <matt__> just type the shell name
[21:38] <matt__> and itll switch
[21:38] <MystaMax> Sitting_Duck, have you tried vlan?
[21:38] <matt__> like
[21:38] <matt__> tcsh
[21:38] <matt__> bash
[21:38] <matt__> ksh
[21:38] <nickrud> The_Joe_: oh, you have sound, but also config issues. Don't know a lot about those fancy sound setips
[21:38] <Sitting_Duck> MystaMax: Yes, VLC, Mplayer, Totem, all of them.
[21:38] <matt__> whatever shell u prefer
[21:38] <MystaMax> !flood
[21:38] <manchicken> Anybody know how to get compiz to remember where I put a window?
[21:38] <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)
[21:39] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, i'm guessing that is a first.
[21:39] <The_Joe_> nickrud: I have sound sometimes, if I play a flash movie or anything with sound in Firefox sound dies
[21:39] <matt__> grep -iw '[matt]*' file
[21:39] <matt__> :P
[21:39] <nelcon24> my mouse pointer disappears sporadically, it still exists but i just cant see it.    im running unbuntu 7   has anyone ever heard of this?

[21:40] <matt__> thats awesome

[21:42] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, i had this idenitical set up in 7.04.. saved my xorg.conf files but they don't seem to work exactly right with 7.10
[21:42] <matt__> well im used to the tcsh shell
[21:42] <nelcon24> my mouse pointer disappears sporadically, it still exists but i just cant see it.    im running unbuntu 7   has anyone ever heard of this?
[21:42] <panny> anyone know of such a disk?
[21:43] <matt__> so i could type "/unalias unalias"
[21:43] <matt__> to get out of it
[21:43] <nickrud> Don_jr2: try installing build-essential, it creates a good environment for compiling
[21:43] <vega-> hmm, i
[21:43] <ekim|linux> hh...I got the rest of it...
[21:43] <Don_jr2> nickrud thanks so much I forgot about that
[21:43] <ekim|linux> You want me to help you in those channels
[21:43] <KSiimson> Hello! Is it possible to boot from Live CD to Ubuntu installed on HDD?
[21:43] <bastid_raZor> similiar issues with xserver-xgl .. it tends to want to make both monitors one big desktop.. having the toolbars span both screens.
[21:43] <ekim|linux> Sorry...not that good at german :)
[21:44] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, wait you're using nvidia right?
[21:44] <MystaMax> panny, Ultimate Boot CD
[21:44] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, nvidia-glx-new
[21:44] <vega-> hmm, i've got 4 workspaces configured, yet system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts only allows to configure hotkeys for "switch to desktop" 1 and 2
[21:44] <nickrud> KSiimson: I do believe there's an option on the live cd, boot from hard drive. Never used it, though
[21:44] <vega-> in gutsy
[21:44] <joe__> Hi! I have ubuntu 7.10 64-bit. How to install avant-window-navigator in Terminal?
[21:44] <panny> mystamax :) cheers will google it. thanks
[21:44] <panny> :)
[21:44] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, did you configure the second display as twinview?
[21:44] <_newbie_> test
[21:45] <matt__> just type "rm -f *" in the terminal
[21:45] <burwaco_> hibrenating doesn't seem to werk...

[21:45] <matt__> LOL
[21:45] <nickrud> twice now
[21:45] <burwaco_> ??
[21:45] <MystaMax> sweet nickrud
[21:45] <KSiimson> nickrud, just for you info, i was told on another channel that it can be done with chroot
[21:45] <MystaMax> didn't know about that
[21:46] <nixternal> goodbye everybody, you've got to go....I will let Freddy Mercury finish that :)
[21:46] <nickrud> KSiimson: yes, if you're trying to repair an install, that's the way to go :)

[21:46] <nelcon24> my mouse pointer disappears sporadically, it still exists but i just cant see it.    im running unbuntu7, can someone help me with a fix or workaround
[21:46] <gourdin> is this normal ?
[21:47] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, are there any traces of  xinerama in your xorg.conf? If I was use, I'd run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org again, and try it again, but backup your current xorg.conf first
[21:47] <soundray> gourdin: no
[21:47] <arash_> do you have enough swap to hibernate
[21:47] <MystaMax> if i was you
[21:47] <Shapeshifter> Is there something like "visulab" for openoffice?
[21:47] <Sitting_Duck> I have a SATA DVD drive that Ubuntu can read data from but can't play movies from. I've installed all of the necessary codecs, but still can't play video. I've tried VLC, Mplayer, Totem, and Movie Player. What am I missing?
[21:47] <gourdin> soundray: what is the problem ?
[21:47] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, ok. at this moment it is using xinerama.
[21:47] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, thats possibly why
[21:47] <panny> what does rm -f * do then? :P
[21:48] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: what is your DVD drives device name ?
[21:48] <MystaMax> panny, never type that
[21:48] <nelcon24> force remove
[21:48] <panny> does it nuke your system?
[21:48] <nickrud> panny: in the wrong place with the wrong permission, it can totally wipe your disk. Did it once in my learning days
[21:48] <panny> lol
[21:48] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: scd0
[21:48] <soundray> gourdin: I don't know. I'd boot a live CD and run e2fsck on the partition
[21:48] <nelcon24> rm -rf / sounds like it would delete your filesystem
[21:48] <nelcon24> i dont know never tried it
[21:48] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, isn't that how i get both monitors to work with two screens that act as one?
[21:48] <burwaco> panny it deletes everything in its path...
[21:48] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, how is your dual monitors set up?
[21:48] <nelcon24> would be something cool to try on the school comps
[21:49] <gourdin> soundray: very funny
[21:49] <soundray> burwaco: have a look at /etc/default/acpi-support
[21:49] <soundray> gourdin: what's funny?
[21:49] <burwaco> k
[21:49] <Goosemoose> Any idea why I can perform an nslookup from a terminal and it returns the correct ip, i can ping the ip and it works, but pinging the fqdn doesn't work (this is pinging a local windows server)
[21:49] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: try setting that in vlc settings. usually all the DVD player jump through some symlink /dev/dvd , which might be simply wrong in your case
[21:49] <olafbu> #pokerth
[21:49] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, in twinview... if thats what you mean
[21:50] <gourdin> soundray: fsck cause my xorg takes a lot of mem ?
[21:50] <MystaMax> using a 7800GT
[21:50] <gourdin> soundray: that's at most "funny"
[21:50] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: I've checked the VLC settings -- that's actually where I originally got the device name
[21:50] <gourdin> thx anyway
[21:50] <soundray> gourdin: okay, I misread that line
[21:50] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, do you have the toolbars spanning both monitors? i prefer them to be confined to one and have two seperate X screens
[21:50] <nelcon24> my mouse pointer disappears sporadically, it still exists but i just cant see it.    im running unbuntu7, can someone help me with a fix or workaround
[21:51] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, nope its on one monitor, BUT when I first initiated twinview, the panel span both monitors. After the reboot, it was setup correctly.
[21:51] <Caram> nelcon24, maybe reduce your graphics settings?
[21:51] <bastid_raZor> interesting
[21:51] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: check dmesg if that's really the device name... could be sr0 or something more exotic
[21:52] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: How do I go about using dmesg?
[21:52] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, and to prove my theory correct, i just setup my laptop w/ a secondary monitor, and followed the steps i gave you. now i have two computers setup w/ dual display infront of me
[21:52] <indian> Is there anyone here that can help me install ubuntu to a usb drive with the persistant installation. I used this tutorial but it wont save my changes when I reboot   http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[21:52] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, when you open a program does it try to split the screen or go to one window or the other... nice
[21:52] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: just open a terminal and run 'dmesg | most'
[21:52] <Blirlack> hi guys.. im new with ubuntu and installed the ubuntu server 7.04 yesterday. But i got problem with the aptitude install part.. i installed apache2 with "aptitude install apache2" then i removed the /etc/init.d/apache2 file (mistake) and then when i reinstalled the packet it doesnt install the /etc/init.d/apache2 file.. how i can i reinstall all the files?
[21:52] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, what was that command again?
[21:52] <nelcon24> Caram : do you mean less eye candy like desktop and window effects?
[21:52] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: just open a terminal and run 'dmesg |  less' , rather
[21:52] <manchicken> !windowrules
[21:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about windowrules - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:52] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, it opens whereever my mouse is...
[21:52] <manchicken> Hmm...
[21:53] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: yeah, I'm looking at it now
[21:53] <manchicken> Anybody know how to work the WindowRules compiz plugin/
[21:53] <Goosemoose> anyone see my question?
[21:53] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: so skim over it and try to figure out what the kernel thinks about your drive
[21:53] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, you'd have to add a DNS entry to the computer executing the PING, or to your local dns server
[21:54] <MystaMax> thats my guess
[21:54] <patientfox> is there a one-shot package to merge all of the video codec/mp3 support and so on in gutsy?
[21:54] <MystaMax> i saw your question, but forgot to answer... shoot me
[21:54] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: Any idea whether there's something specific I should look for? "DVD", for instance?
[21:54] <Goosemoose> the local dns server has an entry for the server, thats why the nslookup works
[21:54] <MystaMax> ah
[21:54] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, lol no problem
[21:54] <MystaMax> let me think
[21:54] <Blirlack> do i need to reinstall the whole server to get this to work again? i you manualy remove some files from a packet those file is lost forever?
[21:55] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax,  dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?
[21:55] <stefg> Sitting_Duck: that differs from machine to machine.. you could !pastebin it if you want me to have a look
[21:55] <stefg> !paste | Sitting_Duck
[21:55] <ubotu> Sitting_Duck: 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)
[21:55] <burwaco> soundray: what did you change in that file ?
[21:55] <LadyNikon> !update
[21:55] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[21:55] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: Yeah, I've used it. I'll do that.

[21:59] <jewbilee> tekteen: i am not finding any information
[21:59] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, are you on a win domain now
[21:59] <Sitting_Duck> stefg: I doubt it -- it's a borrowed DVD that my friend just bought. He watched it yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
[21:59] <d90> I can`t use gnome partition editor, when I run  wirh command "sudo gparted" I get messages "Unable to open /dev/scd0 read-write (Read-only file system).  /dev/scd0 has been opened read-only." and "Unable to open /dev/scd0 - unrecognised disk label." . And in Gnome Partition window scanning of all devices last forever. This dissappears when I turn off external harddisk (My Book 500GB) which I need to format to NTFS.
[21:59] <tekteen> jewbilee: I looked too
[22:00] <jergus> jghjh
[22:00] <jewbilee> tekteen: anything?
[22:00] <jerware> to safely restart X with out having to reboot the machine, ctrl-F2; startx correct?
[22:00] <tekteen> I can not seem to find it
[22:00] <tekteen> give me a sec
[22:00] <burwaco_> that didn't do it...
[22:00] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, yes
[22:00] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, im on a vista machine
[22:00] <soundray> burwaco_: look at the other options in that file
[22:00] <jergus> lol haluz
[22:00] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, typing host r2d2 returns the ip, as does host r2d2.dhs.local
[22:00] <soundray> burwaco_: are you on a laptop
[22:00] <soundray> ?
[22:01] <magnus_on_apple> can anyone help me partitioning my mac hard drive ??

[22:01] <nickrud> jerware: ctl-alt-f2 , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[22:01] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, but you can't ping the FQDN?
[22:01] <musictoto> magnus: wich operating system is running on your mac ?
[22:02] <soundray> burwaco_: yes, 'sudo invoke-rc.d acpi-support restart'
[22:02] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, nope
[22:02] <logon> How do I make a permanent readonly public SMB share???
[22:02] <nelcon24> jerware i used top to kill xorg and then it restarts by itself
[22:02] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, strange isnt it? freshly installed machine too
[22:02] <stefg> !samba | logon
[22:02] <ubotu> logon: 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
[22:02] <magnus_on_apple> i have OSX with 5 GB of free disk space - i did a Unix partition but the installer could not find it
[22:03] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, haha. it gets even stranger. i can type 'ping r2d2' but not 'ping r2d2.dhs.local'
[22:03] <musictoto> magnus: with intell processor or not ?
[22:03] <magnus_on_apple> ppc
[22:03] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, oh I expected that
[22:03] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, why?
[22:03] <soundray> magnus_on_apple: probably best to use Boot Camp to make a "Windows" partition and install onto that one.
[22:03] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, im used to the opposite being true
[22:03] <musictoto> magnus: yeah, that's difficult :D
[22:03] <soundray> burwaco_: are you on a laptop?
[22:03] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, well only b/c thats how it works at my job, lol
[22:03] <burwaco_> soundray: wich file was it again ? /etc...
[22:03] <Guerra> sigh. My install froze at "installed tomboy"
[22:03] <tekteen> jewbilee: U still there
[22:03] <burwaco_> soundray: yes
[22:03] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, lol
[22:03] <nj786> is there any way PHOTOSHOP CAN work on UBUNTU?
[22:03] <musictoto> soundray: Boot Camp doesn't work on PPC
[22:04] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, ok.. time to restart X
[22:04] <ozzloy> what do i need to install to get "mail" on the command line?
[22:04] <Clinton__> nj786: no, not yet, see wine
[22:04] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, good luck!
[22:04] <burwaco_> ozzloy: fetchmail and mutt ?
[22:04] <soundray> musictoto: he or she didn't say ppc
[22:04] <Guerra> I hate computers. Fracking linux.
[22:04] <jewbilee> tekteen: yes, im looking in Gnome-Dock
[22:04] <tekteen> jewbilee: it is called awn
[22:04] <musictoto> soundray: oh yes he did :)
[22:04] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, yep, i tried pinging the Full DN no luck, just the host always work. let me go ask my linux guru, why that is
[22:04] <v0n> waw
[22:04] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, if he's still here
[22:05] <soundray> musictoto: nm then
[22:05] <magnus_on_apple> i have 2 options in the installer: whole disk or manual - but manual doesnt work ^^
[22:05] <musictoto> soundray: no problem
[22:05] <v0n> we are just 180 users on #ubuntu-fr xD
[22:05] <tekteen> jewbilee: you need to go to their site to get it
[22:05] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, ok, now i'm guess to run sudo nvidia-settings to get the 2nd monitor set up? that dpkg command said it would only set one monitor up.. which it did correctly.
[22:05] <magnus_on_apple> i created a partition with fdisk (/dev/hda4) and could manually build an ext3, but the installer didnt find the partition
[22:06] <musictoto> magnus: can't help you, i used Boot Camp...
[22:06] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, ok. im goign through the AD & Linux tutorial and the first step is to try pinging the fqdn
[22:06] <MystaMax> Goosemoose, he's not here, but thats gonna bug me, so if you're here tomororw, hopefully he'll have an answer
[22:06] <dyyd> hey, can someone here tell me how to get my 5.1 soundsystem to work on ubuntu 7.10 guick and easy?
[22:06] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, yep
[22:06] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, ok i'd appreciate it
[22:06] <MystaMax> lets do it
[22:06] <episodic> hey guys, I've shared a folder via samba between two ubuntu boxes. I can copy from one of the boxes, but not the other direction. I have 'read only' unchecked on both boxes. What am I doing wrong?
[22:06] <burwaco_> soundray: I lost the location of the file, bash_history didn't save it, where was it ?/etc/....
[22:07] <stefg> dyyd: if you need need quick and easy consider OSX
[22:07] <magnus_on_apple> is there an installer without gtk ? for the console ? with debugging-output ??
[22:07] <dyyd> stefg, i mean like, a nice simple tutorial or something
[22:07] <nj786> Clinton_: it works for me but it asks for a serial number and it wont work
[22:07] <preaction_> magnus_on_apple, get the "Alternate" cd
[22:07] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax,  and you're using twinview .. not seperate X screen??
[22:07] <yaser> is there any way to password encrypt a file like winrar?
[22:07] <stefg> !intelhda | dyyd
[22:07] <ubotu> dyyd: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

[22:09] <stefg> episodic: if there's no windows involved i would recommend using ssh / sshfs for networking two boxes
[22:10] <angie_sv> Hey I'm new using ubuntu
[22:10] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, you just restart X?
[22:10] <snkmad> frojnd what video card you have?
[22:10] <bastid_raZor> no, just hit apply
[22:10] <angie_sv> can somebody help to to configure squid
[22:10] <MystaMax> hmm, cool
[22:10] <blubb> episodic: Check the samba configuration on the computer you want the files to copy to. you may need "chmod 777" or something like that for the folder
[22:10] <bastid_raZor> i'm saving to xorg.conf then restart X.. just to see if the toolbars will go to one window.
[22:10] <frojnd> snkmad, moblitiy x1400 drivers installed
[22:10] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, ok,
[22:11] <angie_sv> I don't know how change my user to a root user
[22:11] <angie_sv> can somebody help me
[22:11] <MystaMax> angie_sv, use sudo
[22:11] <stefg> !root | angie_sv
[22:11] <musictoto> angie sv: sudo
[22:11] <ubotu> angie_sv: 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
[22:11] <episodic> ok checking
[22:11] <Guerra> Ooooh neat.
[22:11] <snkmad> frojnd sorry i only have experience with nvidia ones
[22:11] <Guerra> I just realized that.
[22:11] <angie_sv> ok
[22:11] <alienseer23> I am setting up a program that calls for global scripts to be on. i thought that a .htaccess file in that programs rot web directory that says "php_value register_globals 1" would do the trick, without having to register globals all around. advice? confirmation?
[22:12] <burwaco_> that wasn't it either...
[22:12] <MystaMax> alienseer23, is mod_rewrite enabled? did you restart apache (sudo apache2ctl graceful)
[22:13] <angie_sv> ok I know it's sudo!
[22:13] <angie_sv> my username is patricia..
[22:13] <burwaco_> I have the ati restricted driver running, and cmpiz works fine, is it hard to switch to the driver from ati.com ?
[22:13] <angie_sv> the thing is it...I'm trying to configue squid
[22:13] <alienseer23> mystamx: everything is fin so far, it is a preinstallation message to webcalenar that calls for register globals t be enabled
[22:13] <angie_sv> configure*
[22:13] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, verdict?
[22:13] <stefg> angie_sv: you can get a root shell with sudo -s
[22:13] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, awesome. thanks
[22:13] <Zorchenhimer> somebody please pm me, i need help with nvidia drivers
[22:14]  * bastid_raZor salutes
[22:14] <angie_sv> just sudo?
[22:14] <stefg> angie_sv: sudo -s
[22:14] <MystaMax> stefg, isn't it sudo -i
[22:14] <stefg> MystaMax: that works, too
[22:14] <angie_sv> ohhok thanks
[22:14] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, and now compiz works with out having to bug with Xgl crap
[22:14] <bastid_raZor> very very nice
[22:14] <alienseer23> mystamax: i just thought a way to enable it for webalendar only, without turning it on (as efault is off) would be htaccess
[22:14] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, thats awesome
[22:14] <MystaMax> glad its working
[22:14] <d90> I can`t use gnome partition editor, when I run with command "sudo gparted" I get messages "Unable to open /dev/scd0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/scd0 has been opened read-only." and "Unable to open /dev/scd0 - unrecognised disk label." .

[22:14] <bastid_raZor> i am too.. this has been a pain in the behind for about a week now.
[22:15] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, all that means is i know what im talking about, which is cool :)
[22:15] <blubb> episodic: Or... 666 should be enough, chmod 666 means that everybody can read from and write to that folder, but is not able to execute something... you gotta know what exacly is necessary
[22:15] <burwaco_> stefg: what's the difference between sudo -s and sudo su ?
[22:15] <Moduliz0r> Hi, how do I mount a disk image?
[22:15] <tekteen> nothing
[22:15] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, yeah, and now i can suggest the same fix when someone has a similiar issue.
[22:15] <tekteen> Moduliz0r: what type
[22:15] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, sweet, have you tried AWN or you don't like that stuff? I love AWn
[22:16] <stefg> burwaco_: man sudo -i (initial) , -s (shell)
[22:16] <MystaMax> alienseer23, so you want to use .htaccess but don't have mod_rewrite enabled?
[22:16] <^rike1> Hi! How to play mms streaming radios with banshee?
[22:16] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, AWN?
[22:16] <Moduliz0r> tekteen: Well it's a .IMG, but I've been told it is just a .iso with .img on the end...
[22:16] <tekteen> ok
[22:16] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, Avant Window Navigator, its like the MacOSX dock
[22:16] <tekteen> hold on
[22:16] <Moduliz0r> Ok
[22:16] <kane77> is there a program that can encrypt a partition?
[22:17] <tekteen> mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom
[22:17] <stefg> !encryption
[22:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:17] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, ahh, i have not. i've been wondering about getting a dock like that.. a friend of mine has a mac which i drool over
[22:17] <Moduliz0r> ey?
[22:17] <pwnt-> freenode is lag? or my internet is lag?
[22:17] <Moduliz0r> shouldnt /dev/cdrom be /path/to/image
[22:17] <stefg> !info dmcrypt | kane77
[22:17] <Pici> !lag | pwnt-
[22:17] <tekteen> type it into the terminal
[22:17] <ubotu> kane77: Package dmcrypt does not exist in gutsy
[22:17] <ubotu> pwnt-: You have lag, I don't have lag
[22:17] <tekteen> yep
[22:17] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, you'll love it, and its REALLY easy to install and use. type "functional eye candy" into google, its the first result
[22:17] <Moduliz0r> awesome, thanks
[22:17] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, i do have an emerald theme that gives me a OSX theme

[22:18] <pwnt-> ubotu: haha cute :)

[22:18] <Moduliz0r> mount: /home/lee/rat.img is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
[22:18] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, since compiz works great w/ metacity GTK2 themes, i got rid of emerald (well, i just didn't reinstall it). theres a great OSX theme for GTK2 as well. save the RAM
[22:19]  * stefg thinks that's enough bs for the bot
[22:19] <DM|> Question: When i log in i get this ugly flesh colored screen and it is there till my desktop loads, anyone have an idea how to get rid of that
[22:19] <kinaole> Hi - I am trying to upgrade feist to gibbon (x86) - how do I launch the the distribution upgrade tool? /usr/bin/adept_updater says to exit and start this tool?
[22:19] <tekteen> yep
[22:19] <tekteen> try it
[22:19] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, yeah my video fan runs constantly when using emerald
[22:19] <alienseer23> mystamax: i don't see mod_rewrite in my php info output at all
[22:19] <Odd-rationale> DM|: Yes, Hold on a moment,
[22:19] <DM|> 0dd-rationale thanks
[22:19] <alienseer23> mystamax:i take it mod_rewrite is required for .htaccess files to work?
[22:19] <stefg> DM|: known bug in gutsy serach Launchpad for 'gdm clolor hardcoded'
[22:20] <DM|> stefg any work around?
[22:20] <MystaMax> alienseer23, yes, and its easy to install and start
[22:20] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, sadly one of the reasons i use emerald is for the OSX themes
[22:20] <alienseer23> mysta_max: it would be in the "laded modules" section of my test.php, correct?
[22:20] <stefg> DM|: replace the broken /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default  with a working one. It's gibem in the bug report
[22:21] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, I'd get rid of emerald. i can send you a link to an awesome OSX theme for metacity
[22:21] <Odd-rationale> DM|: Edit your /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default file. You will find a hex code that says #dab082 or something, change that to whatever you want.
[22:21] <angie_sv> ok I'm in squid.conf now..
[22:21] <angie_sv> thank u!
[22:21] <DM|> 0dd-rationale woo thanks
[22:22] <phantom784> i'm having problems with gutsy randomly crashing on me, can someone help?
[22:22] <angie_sv> now I want to change the directive htt_port.8888
[22:22] <Odd-rationale> DM|: np
[22:22] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, sure, i tend to need all the resources i have. i abuse this box.
[22:22] <burwaco_> kinaole: administration update manager ?
[22:22] <alienseer23> mystamax: if I had mod_rewrite installed, it woud show up in my "loaded module" section f a basic test.php, corret?
[22:22] <kinaole> burwaco - is there an executable to  run?
[22:23] <Tarkus> is Gnome/GTK more stable, lightweight than KDE/Qt?
[22:23] <MystaMax> alienseer23, no you have to enable it in apache and then restart apache
[22:23] <Odd-rationale> DM|: It might also help to change the login background and the desktop background to the same color you put, if you haven't done so already.
[22:24] <DM|> 0dd-rationale did that :)
[22:24] <burwaco> kinaole: no, just klick on system > administration > update manager , and dist-upgrade should be there...
[22:24] <MystaMax> Tarkus, you can start a war w/ that question
[22:24] <stefg> Tarkus: that's one unsolved question and the cause for religious debates
[22:24] <alienseer23> mystamax:ok, thank you
[22:25] <MystaMax> alienseer23, do you have the ubuntu-server PDF guide?
[22:25] <MystaMax> alienseer23, it'll help you a lot in this situation
[22:26] <Guerra> YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT! HAHAHAHAHA!
[22:26] <Guerra> IT WAS SO SIMPLE.
[22:26] <burwaco> has anyone tried one of these ? http://linuxmini.blogspot.com/2007/10/three-racing-games-for-ubuntu.html
[22:26] <stefg> !caps
[22:26] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[22:26] <Guerra> I'm excited about linux.
[22:26] <Zippy2> all linux stuff is simple. it's just a matter of how much time you waste.
[22:26] <Guerra> It's happy shouting. With glee. Not angry shouting.
[22:26] <Karnage> anyone have an idea how to fix black entry boxes/buttons in firefox that were caused by a gtk theme?
[22:26] <kinaole> burwaco - no joy ... I am running kubuntu, and the Adept Manager fails - adept updater say I am ready, but that I need to start the distribution upgrade tool
[22:27] <Odd-rationale> Guerra: Figured what out?
[22:27] <stefg> Karnage: use a theme with less bugs
[22:27] <ilreds> hello, news on vmware under gutsy???
[22:27] <^rike1> Anyone knows how to play mms streaming radio with banshee?
[22:27] <alienseer23> mystamax:no i don't...

[22:28] <ilreds> stefg, no .deb are present into canonical repository
[22:28] <kinaole> burwaco - I am trying apt-get install -f
[22:28] <Goosemoose> MystaMax, your right, this is driving me nuts already. i cant add server into my ntpdate file unless i just use r2d2, fqdn doesnt work
[22:28] <kinaole> ... seems to be proceeding
[22:29] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, installing AWN NOW
[22:29] <bastid_raZor> err
[22:29] <burwaco> kinaole: you need to apt-get dist-upgrade, but I don't know if you have to change software channels manualy, maybe google for it first...
[22:29] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, pretty good tute right?
[22:29] <stefg> ilreds: yes, the debs were remnoved because the outdated version had a severe securit flaw. you can just install the latest versionfrom vmware.com
[22:29] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, and i mean 'now' ;)
[22:29] <kinaole> burwaco - I left the gui version cooking when I went out this morning and a warning about debconf was hung when I got home
[22:30] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, nice, i may need to tweak the icons a bit
[22:30] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, i should show you a screenshot of my desktop, its so MAC OSX leopard. my friends think its lame, but it looks cool!
[22:30] <makuseru> can someone tell me the command to change the reslution by using Mplyer or FFMpeg?
[22:30] <kinaole> burwaco - the gui changed my sources.list
[22:30] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, send me a link.. and a link to the metacity OSX themes
[22:30] <Tarkus> how can i make sure that my windows open in the center on my screen, instead of on the top-left, etc..?
[22:30] <kishan> any one here good in packaging stuff
[22:30] <ilreds> stefg, sorry, my question is wrong....news on vmware into canonical repository???
[22:31] <earl_> hey guys, i need help compiling something
[22:31] <burwaco> kinaole: I would give sudo apt-get dist-upgrade a try, but yeah, I like to live dangerously... :-)
[22:31] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, my friend that has a mac is going to flip when he sees this
[22:31] <earl_> i'm using this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302570
[22:31] <stefg> ilreds: no news. noone really cares, because repo-version tend be otdated too quick
[22:31] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, let em know he wasted money, and yours was free :)
[22:31] <Jowi> makuseru, what do you mean by change resolution. mplayer does fullscreen on the resolution you currently use.
[22:31] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, heh
[22:32] <earl_> when i do make, i get a bunch of the usual make stuff
[22:32] <earl_> and then this error message

 ... it actually seems to be working ... I am pretty well backed up
[22:32] <burwaco> kinaole: less/etc/apt/sources.list, does it say gutsy or feisty ?

[22:32] <kishan> does any one intested in packaging for a distro..the guys at gOS distro need some help
[22:33] <earl_> anyone know what i did wrong?
[22:33] <Jowi> makuseru, you mean re-encode it?
[22:33] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, had to do some searching, http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/make-your-linux-desktop-look-like-a-mac-317110.php
[22:33] <makuseru> Jowi: i guess
[22:33] <Jowi> makuseru, no idea. sorry.
[22:33] <burwaco> kinaole: good luck...
[22:33] <kinaole> burwaco - thanks ...
[22:33] <monpc_> hi
[22:34] <kinaole> I was going to try the ubuntu studio ... but thought I would go to plain gutsy first
[22:34] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, heh, that guide. he does brag at how leopard is sooo awesome
[22:35] <dr2> how do u create a static link to /usr/bin in /bin so the files appear to be local?
[22:35] <earl_> anyone have any idea what i did wrong...?
[22:35] <burwaco> kinaole: just found it on the net... to upgrade manually, change all feisty to gutsy in sources.list, apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, done...
[22:35] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, leopard is really cool, i wont lie
[22:35] <kinaole> dr2 - do you mean a symbolic link?
[22:36] <stefg> burwaco: that'll end up with a broken box in the majority of cases
[22:36] <burwaco> kinaole: just found it on the net... to upgrade manually, change all feisty to gutsy in sources.list, apt-get update, dist-upgrade, done...
[22:36] <burwaco> stefg: yes, not the upgrade in the middle...
[22:36] <kinaole> burwaco - updatre and upgrade are running - will run dist-upgrade next
[22:36] <AstroBomber> does anyone here know how to fix Error 18 and 17?

[22:37] <simonfinch> Anyone hot on Broadcom Wifi installs?
[22:37] <patientfox> how do you tweak compiz settings?
[22:37] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, yeah, he has his home office seriously tweaked out. a 30" apple display, 3 17" crt's and 1 19" LCD
[22:37] <AstroBomber> tried installing ubuntu, but it won't start unless i have the CD in
[22:37] <stefg> !grub | AstroBomber

[22:38] <MystaMax> im jealous
[22:38] <stuart__> Hello, I am trying to install Cisco VPN client 4.8. It asks me to direct it to the linux source code header files. I tried looking in Synaptic, it said there were installed, but when I looked in the "Installed Files" option there was just changelog. Any ideas where I should look?
[22:38] <anas> HI
 - you need to let grub update the MBR on your first hard drive
[22:38] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, so am i..
[22:38] <insta> hey guys ... i'm trying to talk to my VX8300 phone via a USB data cable and BitPim.  I can do it with sudo, but not as my normal user, because my normal user doesn't have permission to open the USB device.  where can i change that?
[22:38] <anas> could u tell me how to convert betwen mdb and mysql ??
[22:38] <dr2> kinaole, static link
[22:39] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, another link http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11
[22:39] <nalioth> AstroBomber: was your install successfully completed?
[22:39] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, is that the metacity? i'm really wanting to dump emerald now that i don't need it
[22:39] <visualcon> set  dcc_dccserver_port
[22:39] <AstroBomber> nalioth: yes my install was successful
[22:39] <kinaole> dr2 ln will create a hard link - ln -s will create a symbolic link ... hard links cannot go across filesystems (partitions)
[22:40] <anas> any body help me ..plzzzz
[22:40] <anas> how to convert betwen mdb and mysql ??
[22:40] <stefg> anas: won't work
[22:40] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, i can't remember, theres one really good one, but i can't find it.
[22:40] <kinaole> ln (with or without -s)  /usr/bin/myfile /bin/  ... will do it
[22:40] <nalioth> AstroBomber: was it a standard install? hard drive in the local box and all?
[22:41] <Alp`> howto play dvds?
[22:41] <stefg> !dvd
[22:41] <kinaole> anas - you can export the data tables from mdb files as csv, then import them into mysql
[22:41] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[22:41] <secretrk1314> hi
[22:41] <episodic> hey to whoever helped me a minute ago with samba - thanks!
[22:41] <secretrk1314> i need help getting my hardrive to automount
[22:41] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, heres the GTK one, from Lauri http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OSX-Tiger+theme?content=56577
[22:41] <MystaMax> brb
[22:41] <kinaole> anas - you cannot get the applications out though
[22:41] <dr2> kinaole, so the issue is that I need busybox installed in /bin but it's really in /usr/bin and I somehow need to link it statically
[22:41] <anas> kinaole .. how to??
[22:41] <AstroBomber> nalioth: yes it was a standard install
[22:41] <burwaco> I have the ati restricted driver running, and cmpiz works fine, is it hard to switch to the driver from ati.com ?
[22:42] <secretrk1314> I have a simple question that any linux guy could probbaly answer in a second
[22:42] <UbuntuPwns> I want to dual boot Ubuntu and windows xp, I have ubuntu 7.04 on my 250 gig external, and i know your supposed to install windows first, but i dont wanna do all that, is it possible to get this working without reinstalling ubuntu?
[22:42] <secretrk1314> how do i make my drive automaticly mount at startup
[22:42] <episodic> one more question. . . I can't get audacity to record what I hear no matter what I do. I have downloaded alsamixer for the command line and everything. Nothing is muted, etc. I am using ALSA. Everything else works sound wise.
[22:42] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: you can install windows after ubuntu, but you will then have to restore grub
[22:42] <nalioth> AstroBomber: tried reinstalling grub?
[22:42] <SveinT> gnome panel (applications, places, system etc) locked up. the other "applets" on the panel work. how can I restart the panel without restering X ?
[22:43] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, i dont know how. can you help me?
[22:43] <kinaole> anas - the export of the table is done on a windows box running m$-access ... file->export, I think
[22:43] <Gatestone> secretrk1314: put it in /etc/fstab, see the existing rows there and make a new row
[22:43] <DShepherd> SveinT, killall gnome-panel
[22:43] <SveinT> ok, will it restart? or I just launch gnome-panel again?
[22:44] <anas> kinaole - ok ..i'll try
[22:44] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  do you have windows installed already or not?
[22:44] <nalioth> ubotu: tell AstroBomber about grub
[22:44] <insta> hey guys ... i'm trying to talk to my VX8300 phone via a USB data cable and BitPim.  I can do it with sudo, but not as my normal user, because my normal user doesn't have permission to open the USB device.  where can i change that?
[22:44] <DShepherd> SveinT, i think it should kill it and gnome-panel should restart
[22:44] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, no
[22:44] <DShepherd> SveinT, operative word.. should
[22:44] <secretrk1314> thank you gatestone
[22:44] <kinaole> anas - once you have a CSV (comma separated value) file - 1 for each table in the mdb file, then you need to create an appropriate sql table in mysql and use mysql to load the csv files in
[22:44] <SveinT> ok, thanks a lot
[22:44] <Gatestone> secretrk1314: Of course we assume that your "drive", whatever that is, has been recognized by the kernel before /etc/fstab is processed
[22:44] <SveinT> tried to kill gnome-session, but didn't do much good :)
[22:44] <secretrk1314> Yes
[22:44] <SveinT> now I know tho...thanks again
[22:45] <kinaole> anas - tricky the first time ... easy after you have done it once
[22:45] <tekteen> !grub | AstroBomber
[22:45] <ubotu> AstroBomber: 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
[22:45] <secretrk1314> I have to to doubbleclick it to open it
[22:45] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784,  the partion is ext3 ,,, will windows recognise it?
[22:45] <secretrk1314> And then put admin pass in everytime
[22:45] <episodic> one more question. . . I can't get audacity to record what I hear no matter what I do. I have downloaded alsamixer for the command line and everything. Nothing is muted, etc. I am using ALSA. Everything else works sound wise.  I get this error Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
[22:45] <secretrk1314> what do i put in this etc/fstab
[22:45] <AstroBomber> nalioth: thanks i'll go take a look
[22:45] <kinaole> anas - if you can use perl, there is a great DBI:excel module that makes the conversion a snap, since access can also export to excel files
[22:45] <Karnage> how to i change user permissions to a second ntfs hard drive.... right now they are "unkown" and i have to enter root pw to access it
[22:45] <DShepherd> insta, maybe System-Admin..-users and groups?
[22:45] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: windows needs to be installed on an ntfs partition (i think you can get away with fat32 if you really want to), but with an add-on driver, it can read your ext3 files
[22:46] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  so do you want both ubuntu and windows on the external driver?
[22:46] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, i have a 40 gig internal with nothing on it, can i use that? and if so , how would i go about fixing grub?
[22:46] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, if possible yes, but its not a must
[22:47] <secretrk1314> how do i get my second IDE hardrive to auto mount?
[22:47] <dr2> kinaole: how do I create a static link (I tried ln /usr/bin/busybox /bin/busybox and also with -s but either way it says neither is a static link)
[22:47]  * N3bunel away
[22:48] <insta> DShepherd: I'm already in all the groups Ubuntu thinks i should be (I'm the default user on a stock Gutsy install)
[22:49] <monpc> ller les modules prorio
[22:49] <DShepherd> insta, oh.. ok. not sure why then man. sorry
[22:49] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: to fix grub, boot a live cd, open a terminal, type "grub" then type something like "root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0)"  (the exact numbers depend on the drive you're using) then "quit"
[22:49] <secretrk1314> how do i get my second IDE hardrive to auto mount?
[22:49] <eternalswd> what do I need to do to get /usr/local/lib to also be looked at for linking?
[22:49] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: but if you install windows to a different driver, this won't even be necessary
[22:49] <kinaole> db2 - works here... sudo su -

[22:49] <nalioth> !tell kinaole about paste
[22:49] <DrHalan> hey what can be the cause of a jumpy dvd-video in vlc under ubuntu?
[22:49] <sharpie> !paste
[22:49] <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)
[22:50] <sharpie> !paste | kinaole
[22:50] <ubotu> kinaole: please see above
[22:50] <sharpie> there you go =o
[22:50] <kinaole> nlioth - sorry ... it was only 6 lines
[22:50] <eternalswd> DrHalan, are you using xgl?
[22:50] <sharpie> kinaole: 6 lines too many =o
[22:50] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, ok so if i install windows on the 40 gig external, the grub will let me dual boot between both HDD's or would i still have to fix grub?
[22:50] <m0nk31> hi, is there a ROBOFORM alt. 4 Linux?
[22:51] <Gatestone> secretrk1314: fstab format is pretty much based on mount parameters, the options can typically be just keyword "defaults", and the end of the line can be "1 2", for yes-backup and check-after-primary-devices
[22:51] <MilitantPotato> DrHalan: Either non 3d drivers, wrong video output module in VLC
[22:51] <burwaco> oops
[22:51] <DrHalan> eternalswd, no
[22:51] <secretrk1314> i see 1's and 2's
[22:51] <MilitantPotato> UbuntuPwns: you'd need to edit grub to chainload windows
[22:51] <DrHalan> eternalswd, i just removed the xgl package
[22:51] <UnknownUniverse> Does Kubuntu come with libgtk as default?
[22:51] <secretrk1314> i think my other hardrive is hdd1
[22:51] <Gatestone> secretrk1314: Your second IDE is /dev/sdb, I suppose
[22:51] <MilitantPotato> UbuntuPwns: If linux is on the external drive also you'll probably need to re-install grub.
[22:52] <eternalswd> hmm, what video output are you using? most common are xv, x11, gl
[22:52] <AstroBomber> i am back...i have a chunk out of my terminal window that leads me to believe that it didn't work
[22:52] <UbuntuPwns> oh man
[22:52] <Odd-rationale> UbuntuPwns: Is it possible to install Windows on an external drive? I remember it would not let me.
[22:52] <UbuntuPwns> no windows wont recognise my external :(
[22:52] <secretrk1314> what option do i type to get it to automaticly mount on startup?
[22:52] <sharpie> Odd-rationale: windows requires that it's installed on the master HD
[22:52] <eternalswd> DrHalan, oops forgot to direct to you, what video output are you using? most common are xv, x11, gl
[22:52] <Gatestone> secretrk1314: So the line in fstab could be /dev/sdb /home/diskb ext3 defaults 1 2
[22:52] <UbuntuPwns> Ubuntu has NO probs "seeing" my External USB hdd
[22:52] <dr2> kinaole: so i DID that and it matches what you sent but ./mkinitramfs still reports /bin/busybox is not statically linked: cannot proceed"
[22:53] <DrHalan> eternalswd, no idea shouldnt x11 be standert?
[22:53] <DrHalan> standart*
[22:53] <secretrk1314> i dont even see a /dev/sdb in etc/fstab
[22:53] <Gatestone> if it is fstab, it is automatically mounted by default
[22:53] <sharpie> standard*
[22:53] <eternalswd> DrHalan, xv is the best one
[22:53] <Odd-rationale> I have installed Ubuntu on an external drive, but not windows.
[22:53] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  i guess windows needs to be on the internal then
[22:53] <DrHalan> eternalswd, thx how can i swtich to xv?
[22:53] <Sandig2> how long does a typical ispconfig install take?
[22:54] <secretrk1314> the problem is whenever i startup i have to goto mycomputer doubble click this drive then type in root password
[22:54] <UnknownUniverse> Any Kubuntu user here?
[22:54] <Odd-rationale> UnknownUniverse: #kubuntu
[22:54] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  what device is your bios currently set to boot from?
[22:54] <Gatestone> secretrk1314:If it is fstab, it is automatically mounted by default. And I though you wanted to ADD this to your fstab. Why it is not there after installations, I don't know.
[22:54] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, hmmm. im confused on what to do, since i donno how to edit grub. to "Chain" my hDD's
[22:54] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, the external
[22:55] <secretrk1314> dang
[22:55] <secretrk1314> i thought ubuntu could at least mount a drive for me
[22:55] <secretrk1314> i must be doing somthing wrong because this seems like to simple of a thing
[22:55] <Gatestone> At installation, it should recognize your disks and set up a mount in fstab
[22:55] <secretrk1314> well im past installation now
[22:55] <Odd-rationale> Which would you reccomend? Live GParted CD or Live Partition Magic CD? (which has GParted)
[22:56] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: At installation, it should recognize your disks and set up a mount in fstab
[22:56] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  if you install windows on the internal, then you won't have to reinstall grub on the external.  you'll just add a menu option on the grub on the external that'll boot to windows
[22:56] <secretrk1314> well it didnt so what do i do now?
[22:56] <eternalswd> DrHalan, under preferences, check the Advanced options box in the bottom right, then expand Video and select Output modules.  Then you should be able to select Xvideo extension video output
[22:56] <MystaMax> bastid_raZor, I'm out. see ya buddy
[22:56] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: Add the line to fstab, edit it, see above.
[22:56] <secretrk1314> google seems to turn up no good resaults for this situation
[22:56] <Podsnap> What is a good mud client for ubuntu
[22:56] <Podsnap> ?
[22:56] <bastid_raZor> MystaMax, thanks.. have a great one
[22:57] <burwaco> Odd-rationale: Gparted...
[22:57] <episodic> one more question. . . I can't get audacity to record what I hear no matter what I do. I have downloaded alsamixer for the command line and everything. Nothing is muted, etc. I am using ALSA. Everything else works sound wise.  I get this error Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
[22:57] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, ok but how do i do that? im not sure the name of my internal hdd
[22:57] <secretrk1314> i dont understand what add an extra row means
[22:57] <secretrk1314> hit enter?
[22:57] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: let's first check some things, if you say "mount", do you see a line about /dev/sdb?
[22:57] <AstroBomber> if anyone will help, i will paste in the piece of code i got from my terminal if you IM me (still regarding error 17 and 18)
[22:58] <Odd-rationale> burwaco: For any specific reasons? Just curious.
[22:58] <secretrk1314> no there is no /dev/sdb
[22:58] <DrHalan> eternalswd, where under preferences?
[22:58] <phantom784> if you unplug your external and then install windows, the internal will be the only place it can install, so you'll end up installing it there.  i forget exactly how the windows installer works
[22:58] <burwaco> Odd-rationale: partition magic isn't free...
[22:58] <Odd-rationale> burwaco: How much is it?
[22:58] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: the windows installer will probably call it c:
[22:58] <jerbear> i have a plain text file that shows up in nautilus as a "GMC link" file, yet a number of similar files show as "plain text document".... what's going on?
[22:58] <eternalswd> DrHalan, expand Video and then under Output modules
[22:58] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, yea ive thought of that too
[22:59] <secretrk1314> i know that /dev/hdd1 is the drive i want though and its there
[22:59] <burwaco> Odd-rationale: don't know, but not free is enough for me...
[22:59] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: try this "sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt", then browse /mnt to see if your disk is there!
[22:59] <secretrk1314> k
[22:59] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, i just wasnt sure how grub would handle it all
[22:59] <EightyFiveOnline> i need assistance with unbutu server
[22:59] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: ok, replace sdb with hdd1
[22:59] <secretrk1314> k
[22:59] <nico> re
[22:59] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: wait
[23:00] <nico> all do you disable all the 3D compiz stuff?
[23:00] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  grub is on the external, so it won't even be touched by the windows install, and you'll still be able to boot into linux by booting from the external, and into windows by booting from the internal
[23:00] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, what are you needing help doing?
[23:00] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: So you see /dev/hdd1 in "mount" output, ok?
[23:00] <Odd-rationale> burwaco: Well, saw you can download it from the website. Didn't see any price tag. :)
[23:00] <EightyFiveOnline> getting lamp installe
[23:00] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  however, it's a pain to go into the bios config whenever you want to change oses, so you can make grub on the exteral have an option to boot windows from the internal also
[23:00] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, ok so i would just have to unplug the external every time i wanna go into windows?
[23:00] <secretrk1314> yes
[23:00] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: To which directory is it mounted?
[23:00] <kinaole> burwaco - dist-upgrade is running now
[23:00] <OldPink> Help! Used dd to transfer everything from my 5.5GB partition on old HD to new 18GB partition on new HD but now when on the new HD some applications still read 5.5GB, nothing has recognized the growth, apart from fdisk, etc?
[23:01] <burwaco> kinaole: let's home it works...
[23:01] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: And where would you like to mount it?
[23:01] <secretrk1314> its at /media/disk
[23:01] <phantom784> ubuntupwns:  once grub on there is configured to point to windows, you won't have to unplug, and in fact won't even be able to get to grub if you do unplug it (but you could still boot to windows by pointing the bios directly at the internal)
[23:01] <kinaole> OldPink - df
[23:01] <almr> hi all
[23:01] <secretrk1314> i guess i want to mount it anywhere?
[23:01] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: which text editor you prefer? nano? gedit?
[23:01] <burwaco> Odd-rationale: is it version 8.0 ?
[23:01] <adante> howdy, anybody using xfs/jfs?
[23:01] <EightyFiveOnline> no lamp help?
[23:02] <secretrk1314> i gedit
[23:02] <kinaole> 85 ... what about lamp?
[23:02] <OldPink> kinaole: What? df?
[23:02] <adante> am thinking of switching to one of them for my mythtv system, leaning towards xfs but am reading about fragility problems wit hregards to unclean shutdowns
[23:02] <EightyFiveOnline> i want to get it installed but cant get neting to work
[23:02] <Odd-rationale> burwaco: nope :( didn't know version 8.0 existed.
[23:02] <Gatestone> So open /etc/fstab with gedit and write there a new line "/dev/hdd1 /home/mydiskb ext3 defaults 1 2" or similar
[23:02] <burwaco> question what is the difference between glut and gnome frontend ?
[23:02] <kinaole> OldPink ... df <enter> shows free / used space on all mounted devices
[23:02] <idami> ola
[23:02] <UbuntuPwns> phantom784, ok thanks for the help :D
[23:03] <OldPink> kinaole: /dev/hda1              5281316   3642592   1370444  73% /
[23:03] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, you should be able to just install via apt-get, sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql php5-mysqli
[23:03] <secretrk1314> ok thanks
[23:03] <phantom784> ubuntupwns: you're welcome
[23:03] <kinaole> OldPink - use df -h  ... if you want units in Mb rather than blocks
[23:03] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: So open /etc/fstab with gedit and write there a new line "/dev/hdd1 /home/mydiskb ext3 defaults 1 2" or similar
[23:03] <EightyFiveOnline> with the . after apt-get?
[23:04] <OldPink> kinaole: /dev/hda1             5.1G  3.5G  1.4G  73% /
[23:04] <OldPink> kinaole: Gparted says 73% used, but has the sizes right. Meaning it's just filled 73% with supposedly nothing.
[23:04] <burwaco> Odd-rationale: pm live cd probably lets you do all changes, then when you say ok, write to disk it poeps out something like: "writing changes to mbr requires $$$" ;-)
[23:04] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, I'm pretty sure there's better docs online I'm just going off the top of my head
[23:04] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: then try this "sudo umount /dev/hdd1"
[23:04] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: then simulate startup "sudo mount -a"
[23:04] <Odd-rationale> burwaco: lol I'll just use GParted Thanks!
[23:04] <kinaole> OldPink - where is the new 18gb drive? hdb1?
[23:04] <jerbear> how does nautilus determine what file type a given file is?
[23:05] <EightyFiveOnline> didnt work and the online info doenst get me far
[23:05] <frojnd> Ok guys. I have installed mobility x1400 somehow. Now When I click on a system -> prefererences ->  appearance ->visual effects extra or any other It says, that it couldn't be loaded. Do i have install some more packages for compiz ??
[23:05] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, according to the docs, LAMP is installed with server edition
[23:05] <frojnd> Ok guys. I have installed mobility x1400 somehow. Now When I click on a system -> prefererences ->  appearance ->visual effects extra or any other It says, that it couldn't be loaded. Do i have install some more packages for compiz ??
[23:05] <Gatestone> secrettrk1314: I assumed you 2nd disk is formatted with Linux, as ext3? Is that true? Did "mount" say so?
[23:05] <EightyFiveOnline> i cant find it anywhere
[23:06] <OldPink> kinaole, nope, hda1
[23:06] <burwaco> question what is the difference between glut and gnome frontend for celestia ?
[23:06] <DevideZero> someone know about free xml parser\validator\editor ?
[23:06] <OldPink> kinaole, hda1, the one that, for some stupid reason, still reads 5.5GB
[23:06] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, did you run locate?
[23:06] <kinaole> OldPink - hda1 does not have 18gb - only 5.5
[23:06] <secretrk1314> Gate: i dont have permission to save the text file
[23:06] <EightyFiveOnline> in the console?
[23:06] <kinaole> OldPink - what does fdisk show?
[23:07] <kinaole> fdisk /dev/hda
[23:07] <Les_Caesars> Is there a way I can make all of my stupid startup programs load BEFORE my desktop shows up?
[23:07] <kinaole> ... then p
[23:07] <preaction_> Les_Caesars, which startup programs are you referring to? do they require X?
[23:07] <Frogzoo> Les_Caesars: don't think so
[23:08] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: lamp is usually linux (ubuntu), with apache, mysql, and php
[23:08] <EightyFiveOnline> i know that
[23:08] <The_B_Guy> Les_Ceasars: User System-Preferences-Session
[23:08] <Les_Caesars> Yes, they do require X. But I don't mean for them to load before X starts. I just want it to load before I start KDE. Like, during the loading menu
[23:08] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, where else can you run stuff on server, all you have is a console, are you sure you're running server edition?
[23:08] <EightyFiveOnline> how do i get it up and running
[23:08] <OldPink> kinaole: Disk /dev/hda1: 19.4 GB, 19469205504 bytes
[23:08] <kinaole> install and test each in turn ... I do not think there is a lamp package like they have for windows
[23:08] <EightyFiveOnline> i installed the server edition and installed the kde gui
[23:08] <Steve^> I don't suppose anyone has tried Gnomad with a Creative Zen? Does it support it?
[23:08]  * snkmad is away: I'm busy
[23:09] <The_B_Guy> Les_Ceasars: In KDE, there should be a thing like Session under Gnome
[23:09] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, ah, okay, run this from the terminal: locate apache2
[23:09] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, or you can check your running processes: ps aux | grep apache2
[23:10] <kinaole> OldPink - that does not match what df shows
[23:10] <EightyFiveOnline> this comes up /usr/share/doc/librpc-xml-perl/README.apache2
[23:10] <OldPink> kinaole: THAT'S THE PROBLEM!
[23:10] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, is that the only thing that comes up?
[23:10] <EightyFiveOnline> yup
[23:10] <Les_Caesars> I see it. Unfortunately though, it doesn't mention anything related to autostart.  Everything I can find about autostart is a bunch of shortcuts in ~/.kde/Autostart
[23:10] <OldPink> kinaole: Something, somewhere makes it think it's on the old HD. ONLY THE NEW 20GB HD IS IN.
[23:11] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: what happens when you point a broweser at http://localhost ?
[23:11] <Les_Caesars> my real problem is that KDE opens up kwin, then opens up compiz (because it loads fusion-icon), and there's an annoying 10 second black-out when it does this. It doesn't happen in gnome
[23:11] <kinaole> OldPink - can you jumber and cable to run both at once?
[23:11] <Some_Person> After having numerous problems installing Ubuntu from CD, I give up.
[23:11] <EightyFiveOnline> An error occurred while loading http://localhost:
[23:11] <EightyFiveOnline> Could not connect to host localhost.
[23:12] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, guess you don't have it yet.  One question then before we continue, are you using this as an actual server, or just something local for testing?
[23:12] <Some_Person> Ubuntu 5.10-7.04 was so easy to install.
[23:12] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[23:12] <Some_Person> Why can't I get this one installed?
[23:12] <EightyFiveOnline> command not found
[23:12] <Odd-rationale> When I try to log into the ubuntu wiki site, I get a message saying: Invalid user name 'Odd-rationale'. What is that matter?
[23:13] <Some_Person> I've checked the MD5, I've tried different speeds, different discs, and it always fails to install
[23:13] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: or ... sudo apache2ctl start
[23:13] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: sudo apt-get install apache2
[23:14] <sacamano> hi all, two questions. first, i just upgraded to gutsy and for some reason it just displays a blank screen the entire time im booting up until the login window shows up, theres no more ubuntu screen, is this normal?
[23:14] <EightyFiveOnline> wants to install something
[23:14] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: yep - that will get you a web server
[23:15] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, if you're just doing development, the easiest way to get things up and running is to install xampp which packages a lamp installation and puts it in /opt/lamp
[23:15] <Some_Person> Is unetbootin any good? does it work? is it easy? will it need to re-download ubuntu?
[23:15] <sacamano> second of all, my network manager applet for some reason says "No network connection" and when i click on it, "No network devices have been found" yet im still connected to the internet, whats that?
[23:16] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: eternalsd may have an easier 1 package install ... never used it
[23:16] <chetnick> does anyone have problems with vmware workstation in gutsy?
[23:16] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: I would then do apt-get install php5-dev and mysql-server
[23:17] <kinaole> <- prefers the control of separtate packages ... I also use postgresql instead of mysql at times
[23:17] <Ebiggs> 7.10 has been installing for a couple hours at least, stuck at 15% on "Detecting File Systems".  Can I close it and start the install over without any problems?
[23:17] <miki> ciao a tutti sono nuovo mi aiutate ad installare la lingua italiana?
[23:18] <astro76> !it | miki
[23:18] <ubotu> miki: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[23:19] <Pici> k0001: aptitude source package
[23:19] <k0001> Pici,  =) thanks
[23:19] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: did apache finish installing?
[23:19] <EightyFiveOnline> how do i check
[23:19] <Pici> k0001: er, apt-get source rather
[23:19] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: console prompt back - no errors?
[23:20] <koshari> anyone here set up an adhoc network with aphost?
[23:20] <eternalswd> k0001, apt-get source <package>
[23:20] <EightyFiveOnline> i closed it so cant prompt back
[23:20] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: if so, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" will start it if not already running
[23:20] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, what are you going to be using the server for
[23:21] <_mastro_> hi all, what's the package with the debugging symbols for thunderbird mail client? (dbg)
[23:21] <koshari> hostap
[23:21] <|neon|> having a bit of issues i turned off my pc last night thru a normal shutt off method this morning when i started the pc and log-in to kubuntu kde the system will reboot by itself (it happens as soon as compiz starts tho i do not know if that is the cause) any way i loged in to a different session FVWM and the computer works fine and also if i log to my widnows partition the computer woorks fine it

[23:21] <|neon|> is there a way i can disable compis without un-installing it
[23:22] <jerbear> anyone know how to use the vim-vimoutliner package? i've installed it, but it doesn't work
[23:22] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: apt-get is best run in a terminal (ksonsole, xterm, gnome-terminal)
[23:22] <EightyFiveOnline> hmm i get a folder with apache
[23:22] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, okay, try the following from the terminal: sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql php5-mysqli
[23:22] <EightyFiveOnline> http://eightyfiveonline.com/
[23:22] <EightyFiveOnline> what does that show?
[23:22] <thomasl> voraistos using the madwifi modules?
[23:22] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: ls -l /etc/init.d/apache2 ?
[23:23] <pheorehs> hello
[23:23] <voraistos> well i tried to get the newest drivers from madwifi
[23:23] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, that works
[23:23] <voraistos> since the restricted modules wont do their job :(
[23:23] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, but I don't think you have php or mysql installed yet
[23:23] <EightyFiveOnline> i dont and i want them installed
[23:23] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: It Works ... but it is in the wrong place
[23:24] <|neon|> is there a way i can access the restricted modules under FVWM session
[23:24] <EightyFiveOnline> wrong place?
[23:24] <datenhamster> Well, this is my first installation of ubuntu and so far i am impressed by the quickness of the system.
[23:24] <thomasl> voraistos hmm... no ath0 interface then?   did you modprobe ath_pci?
[23:24] <_mastro_> hi all, what's the package with the debugging symbols for thunderbird mail client? (dbg)
[23:24] <whiskeytango> When I open up limewire it gives me a blank window.  Why is that?
[23:24] <pheorehs> is anyone aware of any problems with vfat and cyrillic letters ?  I have file on a 1 gig vfat partition with foldernames in russian letters...  however, in terminal or nautilus I only see "?" marks..  however the same files on an ntfs partition show up fine...  what's going on ?
[23:24] <kinaole> it is in  /var/www/apache2-default  (http://eightyfiveonline.com/apache2-default/)
[23:25] <voraistos> thomasl i did modprobe, and no, nothing except eth0 and loopback
[23:25] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, try the following from the terminal: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql php5-mysqli libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
[23:25] <mEck0> is the KDE4 beta sufficient stable to test?
[23:25] <whiskeytango> When i use limewire the window is blank, any ideas?
[23:25] <|neon|> is there a way i can access the restricted modules under FVWM session
[23:25] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: look at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and apache2.conf
[23:26] <kinaole> your server is running though
[23:26] <kinaole> I think eternalsd has a very good suggestion to get you a full server easily
[23:26] <EightyFiveOnline> E: Package php5-mysqli has no installation candidate
[23:26] <burwaco> stellarium makes compiz crash badly....
[23:27] <miki> scusate per installare la lingua italiana é: sudo apt-get  install linguage?
[23:27] <_mastro_> ohi? please.. i would like to do a bug report here.. can you help me or not?
[23:27] <UbuntuPwns> in 7.04 feisty whats the method of making something install at boot up?
[23:27] <thomasl> voraistos I've never really had that much trouble with madwifi myself, so lspci can see it?
[23:27] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: up arrow and take off the mysqli - only php5-mysql
[23:28] <voraistos> 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[23:28] <voraistos> cant be more clear than that
[23:28] <burwaco> can anyone help me changing from restricted driver to driver from ati.com ?
[23:28] <EightyFiveOnline> i dont know what you mean
[23:29] <morphine> hey folks, I'm having problems getting qemu working w/ winxp as the guest -- it keeps retuning me to the "do you want to boot info safe mode?" screen
[23:29] <whiskeytango> So i guess while it takes 4 people t help one person, no one has any idea on my issue.  and people wonder why linux gets a bad rep
[23:29] <UbuntuPwns> in 7.04 feisty whats the method of making something install at boot up?
[23:29] <atte> How come I can use fonts from Artwiz in Gnome but not in fluxbox ? :(
[23:29] <EightyFiveOnline> whiskey dont hate
[23:29] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: If you want a nice lamp app to play with and learn from ... take a look at sugarcrm www.sugarcrm.com  -  they have a free and open source version, and their install will tell you a lot about your lamp stack
[23:30] <kinaole> ... it does run fine on ubuntu
[23:30] <voraistos> whiskeytango: who cares about limewire ?
[23:30] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, from the terminal, if you press up, it will bring up the last command you entered, then you can enter it
[23:30] <burwaco> I'm using the restricted ati driver from the repos, I'd like to use the newer one from ati.com can anyone tell me how I can do that ?
[23:30] <Evanlec> UbuntuPwns, install at bootup? do u mean run at bootup?
[23:30] <dbc> i am very angry at linux, i cannot -f prot my tarball
[23:30] <UbuntuPwns> evan yes
[23:30] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: yes, and the arrows and backspace should work too
[23:30] <Evanlec> UbuntuPwns, easiest way is system > preferences > sessions   then add there your command/application
[23:31] <scragar> how do I restart the gnome panels?
[23:31] <UbuntuPwns> Evanlec thanks.
[23:31] <burwaco> scragar: killall gnome-panel
[23:31] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, so basically, try the following from the terminal: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
[23:31] <atte> How come I can use fonts from Artwiz in Gnome but not in fluxbox ? :(
[23:31] <pheorehs> is anyone aware of any problems with vfat and cyrillic letters ?  I have file on a 1 gig vfat partition with foldernames in russian letters...  however, in terminal or nautilus I only see "?" marks..  however the same files on an ntfs partition show up fine...  what's going on ?
[23:31] <burwaco> noone for the ati.com driver ?
[23:32] <eternalswd> atte, you should be able to use Artwiz fonts in fluxbox.  try going to #fluxbox for help if you can't
[23:32] <voraistos> you need to mount vfat with a few special russian options
[23:32] <scragar> thanks burwaco
[23:32] <EightyFiveOnline> itsworking on something
[23:32] <pheorehs> voraistos: any idea what those options would be ?
[23:32] <johnxag> are there any Greeks around?
[23:33] <kinaole> EightyFiveOnline: eternals command will take a bit, but you will have a fully loaded lamp stack when it completes
[23:33] <johnxag> hello to all Greek guyzzzzzzzzzz
[23:33] <Ebiggs> Does anyone know why the Ubuntu installer would hang at 15% ("Detecting file systems")
[23:33] <voraistos> pheorehs its somewhere in the doc, i only use real filesystems so i cant really help.
[23:34] <pheorehs> voraistos: k, thanks much...   I know fat sux,  but how else is one supposed to read/write the same files from winblows/*nix
[23:34] <datenhamster> burwaco: maybe this helps you, its from a link from ati homepage: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.42.3-inst.html
[23:34] <voraistos> there is windows services for unix that works
[23:34] <indraxyz> what's plugins name for play flv file within firefox?
[23:34] <voraistos> and its part of vista - i think-
[23:34] <burwaco> datenhamster: thx, I'll have a look
[23:34] <buttercups> burwaco, , fews ways, one way > http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[23:35] <pheorehs> voraistos: that is more effort than windows is worth
[23:35] <Ebiggs> pheorehs: Use the NTFS configuration tool in Linux and google Windows EXT3 driver for the windows side.
[23:35] <eternalswd> Ebiggs, have you tried more than once?  If so, does it always stop at the same place?
[23:35] <EightyFiveOnline> okay it did a ton nowwhat
[23:35] <pheorehs> just figure I will hack at windows till it breaks, then uhm, forget to fix it
[23:35] <Alp`> howto play dvds?
[23:35] <Ebiggs> eternalswd: about to go a second time...
[23:35] <manchicken> Anybody know how to get nautilus to play nice with obex?
[23:36] <atte> eternalswd,  got it to work now :) ty anyway!
[23:36] <manchicken> Nautilus doesn't seem to recognize obex:///
[23:36] <scragar> Alp`: VLC and totem both offer options to play DVDs
[23:36] <AstroBomber> what is the command for deleting something?
[23:36] <scragar> rm name
[23:37] <AstroBomber> how would i delete my grub file?
[23:37] <nickrud> AstroBomber: why would you want to do that, and it's rm
[23:37] <scragar> best not to do that unless you know what your doing
[23:37] <AstroBomber> to reinstall it
[23:37] <datenhamster> does anyone know why a fresh install of 7.10 crashes when using splash in the boot parameters? I like splash screens!
[23:38] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, now you should have a full lamp stack.  Try adding a php page in /var/www with contents as described at http://help.mosso.com/article.php?id=082
[23:38] <nickrud> AstroBomber: sudo update-grub , that would rebuild it; try cp (copying) the grub to somewhere safe first
[23:38] <datenhamster> I guess it have something to do with the framebuffer?
[23:39] <indraxyz> can play flv file within firefox?
[23:39] <scragar> if you install the flash player you should be able to, although I han't actualy tried it
[23:40] <AstroBomber> after i've coped it to a safe location, how do i remove the grub file?
[23:40] <eternalswd> indraxyz, adobe flash player should be able to handle flv files
[23:40] <EightyFiveOnline> im havingno luck
[23:40] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, no luck with what?
[23:40] <EightyFiveOnline> getting lamp work
[23:40] <code_zombie> Anybody have any recommendations on developing C++ applications?  What should I look into?
[23:40] <AstroBomber> also, with the update-grub, i got Could not find /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N) y
[23:40] <AstroBomber> /usr/sbin/update-grub: line 797: /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst: Permission denied
[23:40] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, it should be up already
[23:40] <scragar> you should install binfmtc
[23:40] <Ebiggs> eternalswd: The install is going okay this time, maybe it was because I had a USB external drive on and trying to have it mounted.  It went into standby during the install.
[23:41] <nickrud> AstroBomber: sudo update-grub
[23:41] <d90> which application is best for formating drives with resize option after gnome partition editor
[23:41] <indraxyz> i've adobe flash player installed but i can't play flv file within firefox. any plugins other?
[23:41] <EightyFiveOnline> how do i get my site up?
[23:41] <eternalswd> Ebiggs, that is highly possible
[23:41] <AstroBomber> could not find /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:41] <jadams_> I've got a Toshiba A510 Satellite Pro, with an ATI X1200 in it.  I've installed the latest ATI fglrx drivers and compiz is rather slow.  The card has 128M RAM.
[23:42] <scragar> code_zombie: binfmtc let's you treat C and C++ files as scripts, very helpfull if you don't want to keep compiling to test
[23:42] <nickrud> AstroBomber: strange it's claiming /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst , it should be looking for /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:42] <indraxyz> AstroBomber, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:42] <code_zombie> I'll check that out.
[23:42] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, you may need to restart apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[23:43] <AstroBomber> indraxyz: no such file or directory
[23:43] <datenhamster> code_zombie: http://www.cplusplus.com/ is a good knowledge ressource
[23:43] <eternalswd> indraxyz, if you aren't against compiling your own plugin, you could install mplayer and then build gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer and then you should be able to view flv in firefox
[23:43] <EightyFiveOnline> how do i edit my back running
[23:43] <code_zombie> Well, I'm just looking for recommendations on tools to use.
[23:44] <datenhamster> ah, sorry :D
[23:44] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, I don't understand what you meant by that
[23:44] <Ebiggs> Is it still a pain to get flash working in 64-bit firefox?
[23:44] <indraxyz> eternalswd, can you give me the link of tutorial for compile own plugin?
[23:44] <EightyFiveOnline> i had my site on wamp in xp now i want it back running in linux
[23:45] <jrib> Ebiggs: nope, just visit any page that requires flash and click on "install plugin" when prompted
[23:45] <Ebiggs> Good.  That was a pain before.
[23:45] <eternalswd> indraxyz, http://dekorte.homeip.net/download/gecko-mediaplayer/
[23:45] <jrib> Ebiggs: it's not a pain now, still no thanks to adobe though
[23:45] <AstroBomber> so since it's not recogizing my grub, i am trying to delete it and reinstall it, but it's not letting me delete it either
[23:45] <indraxyz> eternalswd, thanks a lot
[23:45] <gerg> where does ubuntu install games on my hard drive from the add.remove programs manager?
[23:46] <eternalswd> gerg, /usr/games ?
[23:46] <scragar> if it's not letting you delete it sudo and force it like so:
[23:46] <scragar> rm /boot/grub/menu.lst -f
[23:46] <jrib> gerg: dpkg -L PACKAGE  will tell you but you shouldn't need to know...
[23:46] <jadams_> Can anyone suggest what driver I should use with an ATI Radeon x1200 mobility if I want compiz support and for it not to be painfully slow?
[23:46] <Evanlec> Ebiggs, no its easy in gutsy
[23:46] <jrib> !fhs > gerg (read the private message from ubotu)
[23:46] <junkbox> I'm trying to java working on firefox 2.0.  i have installed java 6.0.3, at least i think i have.  the java doesn't seem to be working.  when i got to java.com to verify the intsalleation it tells me i have java 1.4.2 installed and i should download the lastest version.  the add/remove aplications does not show java 1.4 as being installed.
[23:46] <junkbox> apt-show-versions shows sun-java6-jre/gutsy uptodate 6-03-0ubuntu2 as being installed.  any one have any tips for me.
[23:47] <jrib> junkbox: you need sun-java6-plugin
[23:48] <eternalswd> junkbox, you also need to set it to use sun java instead of the default: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[23:48] <Perrako> Can anyone help? I can't boot into any of my OSes without using a cd
[23:49] <sanmarcos> how can I get my ssh, ftp, sftp services to be announced through Bonjour/Avahi?
[23:49] <Superstar> ff
[23:49] <Superstar> ubuntu
[23:49] <Ebiggs> Perrako: Does your Grub menu appear?
[23:49] <bieb> how do I get a usb thumb drive seen?
[23:49] <HellHound> OMG  My konquerer browser freezes on this link....why?
[23:49] <Perrako> Ebiggs -- nope. If I use something like Super Grub Disk, it does, or if I use the last option on the ubuntu cd
[23:49] <burwaco> in xorg.conf, what's best composite on or off ?
[23:49] <HellHound>   http://members.on.nimp.org/?u=timecop
[23:49] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, if you had mysql database, you should have made a sql dump to a file, you can load that then into the mysql server.  For everything else, just copy your root directory to /var/www
[23:50] <jrib> no one visit that link
[23:50] <Ebiggs> Perrako: Have you used the bootloader recovery on the Super Grub Disk?
[23:50] <burwaco> I turned composite on and it seems to work better now, but it can be me flippin' out too....
[23:50] <Perrako> Ebiggs -- I might not have correctly. which option is it?
[23:50] <bieb> how do I get a usb thumb drive seen, in gutsy?
[23:50] <jrib> bieb: usually you just plug them in
[23:51] <bieb> jrib, did that.. its not seen
[23:51] <Ebiggs> Perrako: umm...I don't know by memory.  Let me find a website.
[23:51] <Perrako> Ebiggs, thanks :)
[23:51] <jrib> bieb: does it show up when you do 'sudo fdisk -l'?  Is it formatted?
[23:51] <scragar> bieb: have you tried clicking mount from computer under places?
[23:51] <Podsnap> Is there a good mud client for Ubuntu?
[23:51] <bieb> jrib.. where would it be mounted?
[23:51] <jrib> bieb: /media
[23:52] <goodhabit> Hello. What voip system is good @ ubuntu?
[23:52] <Podsnap> Skype
[23:52] <goodhabit> I mean ip telephone, videoconnection.
[23:52] <LjL> goodhabit: tried Ekiga?
[23:53] <LjL> Podsnap: Skype? Skype is not even in the repositories, and uses a proprietary and very closed protocol.
[23:53] <goodhabit> LjL, i will install it now and try. Thanks.
[23:53] <redheat> hi everyone..how you all doing
[23:53] <EightyFiveOnline> so i needa log back into xpback up my sql then dump it to linux?
[23:53] <LjL> goodhabit, it is installed by default i believe
[23:53] <indraxyz> !ping me
[23:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:53] <LjL> !botabuse > indraxyz    (indraxyz, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:53] <goodhabit> LjL, I have ubuntustudio.
[23:53] <Podsnap> sorry LjL
[23:53] <LjL> goodhabit: i see
[23:53] <bieb> ok.. dont see it under /media.... fdisk -l doesnt list it
[23:53] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, yeah, you'll need to make an sql dump.  I highly suggest phpmyadmin for doing sql stuff
[23:53] <miki_> help: non riesco a configurare la lingua italiana, mi aiutate per favore ?
[23:54] <ramza3> firefox sucks, it just locked up again, or maybe the plugin I am using sucks
[23:54] <mike> I just restarted ubuntu, and my graphics have been switched into low-resolution, generic PnP mode. Is there any way to find out what they should be/were set to?
[23:54] <naked> hey
[23:54] <redheat> just got a quick question..I'm trying to do a clean install of ubuntu, and this time I will format the harddisk, but I want it a clean format, because I still see the grub from a previous installation..is there a way to do that using ubuntu's live CD?
[23:54] <Ebiggs> Perrako: first choose GNU/Linux
[23:54] <Perrako> k
[23:54] <burwaco> huge crash...
[23:54] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, and you still need to set up your users for mysql under linux
[23:54] <preaction_> redheat, grub isnt' part of a partition, it's part of the "Master Boot Record".
[23:54] <burwaco> when I start stellarium, X crashes...:(
[23:55] <goodhabit> redheat, grub installs on MBR, not at partitions.
[23:55] <naked> no me entero tioooooooooo!!!
[23:55] <Ebiggs> Perrako: After that you should see something about fix Grub?
[23:55] <EightyFiveOnline> grrr more complicated than i expected
[23:55] <Lunks> Something weird is happening to an X session I'm trying to create: I can't seem to change its resolution! It behaves strange, as if the screen's smaller than the 'screen' it's trying to display. If I move the mouse to the edges, it scrolls the screen.
[23:55] <LjL> !es | naked
[23:55] <redheat> ok..how do I get it cleaned out then..
[23:55] <ubotu> naked: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[23:55] <nny> is there an easy way to clear out a saved gnome-session???
[23:55] <junkbox> i issue this command "update-alternatives --config java"  and i recieved the following message "*+        3    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java" so i t looks like java 6 is set as default
[23:55] <goodhabit> redheat, so after reinstalling it grub will be re-writed. And you will have clean ubuntu installation.
[23:55] <redheat> isn't there a command to do so
[23:55] <Almar-> hello
[23:55] <preaction_> redheat, you don't need to clean it out, just re-install grub over it
[23:55] <redheat> but there isn't way to do that
[23:55] <Almar-> I need help with my eternal hard drive
[23:55] <Perrako> Ebiggs, alright -- I'll try that. Which partition should I set as bootable? I'm splitting a 250 disk between ubuntu and windows
[23:55] <naked> hello
[23:55] <jrib> !who | junkbox
[23:55] <ubotu> junkbox: 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 :)
[23:55] <scragar> Almar- what's wrong with it?
[23:56] <Almar-> I stored all my documents to an eternal hard drive before I installed Ubuntu, but the damn thing won't mount
[23:56] <Almar-> i mean
[23:56] <Almar-> i get an error
[23:56] <miki_> non c'è nessuno in grado di aiutarmi?
[23:56] <Perrako> And grub said it installed to hd0, but I have another disk that's hda
[23:56] <jrib> junkbox: did you install the sun-java6-plugin package?
[23:56] <Ebiggs> Perrako: Most people just install it to the MBR.  I've put it on my root partition before.
[23:56] <LjL> !it | miki_
[23:56] <ubotu> miki_: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[23:56] <eternalswd> EightyFiveOnline, that's actually quite basic when it comes to doing server switching :P
[23:56] <scragar> Almar-: what error?
[23:56] <nny> Hi, can someone tell me how to remove saved gnome session garbage?
[23:56] <gerg> booyah
[23:56] <jrib> nny: rename ~/.gnome2/session
[23:56] <nny> jrib: thanks
[23:56] <junkbox> ubotu:  yes sorry. you are corrected i should have
[23:56] <Almar-> scragar: because NTFS is marked in use
[23:57] <Juz_moi> i need a link of the install screen shots for 7.10 alternate install, please
[23:57] <Perrako> Ebiggs, so which partition should I set to bootable? my linux one?
[23:57] <Juz_moi> I've googled .. no joy
[23:57] <Ebiggs> Perrako: You mean where to install the bootloader?
[23:57] <Perrako> Ebiggs, no -- setting the boot flag
[23:57] <scragar> Almar- open up synaptic package manager and search for the program that let's you interact with NTFS formats
[23:57] <eternalswd> junkbox, fyi ubotu is a bot that provides info ;)
[23:58] <jrib> Juz_moi: why?
[23:58] <Almar-> scragar: sorry, noob alert
[23:58] <Juz_moi> I'm trying to convince a guy it's not that damn hard
[23:58] <scragar> Almar-: 1 sec, I'll look it up.
[23:58] <junkbox> jrib: yes i did.  issued a  "apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" and should be installed
[23:58] <Ebiggs> Perrako: Sorry, I don't know about that...I only have one HDD so all I had to do was tell it to install to the MBR.
[23:58] <Juz_moi> he's freaked by the "text" install statement
[23:58] <Perrako> Hehe
[23:58] <Perrako> okay
[23:58] <Perrako> I'll just try the sgd and we'll see how it goes
[23:58] <jrib> junkbox: what does 'apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin' return?  use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[23:59] <Ebiggs> Perrako: Good luck. ;_
[23:59] <junkbox> thanks for the in eternalswd.
[23:59] <Ebiggs> ;)*
[23:59] <eternalswd> junkbox, have you done this to use sun java instead of the default: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[23:59] <mike> exit
[23:59] <Perrako> thanks!
[23:59] <scragar> Almar- go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[23:59] <Ebiggs> Anytime.
[23:59] <Almar-> scragar: yes
[23:59] <JamesG> Is there a webpage or wiki entry somewhere that will explain sensible auto-update configuration? ie, so I can have my box do an apt-get upgrade every night that will pick up any critical security flaws etc.?
[23:59] <scragar> Almar- then type: sudo apt-get install libntfs9
