[00:00] <DrLaunch> Hi. I miss being able to put a search box in the panel from earlier versions of Ubuntu. Is it possible to do this with Ubuntu 7.10?
[00:00] <MichealPW> Hrmm
[00:00] <andi5> zloog420: ubuntu does not load the corresponding hardware driver automagically?
[00:00] <mpeters> Bruno_: sorry my mistake AllowHosts doesnt work any more
[00:00] <Nimby> sorry andi5 very new to linx used it about 3 years ago, and have had my brain drained by ms, so could you explain slightly more ?
[00:00] <Slart> MichealPW: well.. you can limit which commands certain users can run using sudo.. you could for example say that user Alfred can only use sudo to run the ifconfig command but not the rm command
[00:01] <lapisdecor> how do I reload gnome pannel?
[00:01] <zloog420> andi: no its not doing it, automatically, but I've just installed the new card so its not I had the new card when installing ubuntu
[00:01] <MichealPW> That's interesting, Slart.
[00:01] <Slart> MichealPW: by default sudo is enabled for all commands on ubuntu.. there is a config file somewhere for these things
[00:01] <andi5> zloog420: do you know the responsible module name?  does ubuntu ship packages for it?
[00:01] <Bruno_> mpeters: no other way to just allo his ip?
[00:01] <Chewy954> Can someone help me with BMPx? I get a "gst-stream-error-quark / 1" error.....
[00:01] <desertc> zloog420: What's the card?  It's probably already configured?  Did you try "aplay -l " ?
[00:02] <zloog420> Its a soundblaster Xfi Audio (sb0790)
[00:02] <mpeters> Bruno_: through the firewall?
[00:02] <Slart> MichealPW: but if you use su you have to tell the user that needs root access the actual root password.. then he/she can do anything
[00:02] <Bruno_> mpeters: on the sshd_config or on the firewall
[00:02] <desertc> zloog420: You're right, it's not installed.  I don't think there is any Linux support for the XFI
[00:02] <MichealPW> Right. I wouldn't want anyone but myself performing administrative tasks, though, to begin with.
[00:02] <andi5> Nimby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[00:02] <MichealPW> Which is how sudo doesn't seem practicle to me?:/
[00:03] <mpeters> Bruno_: not in sshd_config, but you can add his address to the fw rule
[00:03] <mpeters> Bruno_: iptables -A INPUT -s 1.2.3.4 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
[00:03] <Nimby> thanks andi5
[00:03] <Slart> MichealPW: but then sudo is fine..just don't let the other users use sudo..
[00:03] <Bruno_> mpeters: ok
[00:03] <RPG_> Is there any easy way to add uinput support into the Ubuntu kernel without recompiling it?
[00:04] <lapisdecor> My gnome pannel is not accepting the usual applet design since I installed picasa, eg. applets dont appear on the pannel, they appear as a small window, outside the pannel, I 'm using Gutsy
[00:04] <desertc> Buy hardware that is Linux-supported by the company selling it.
[00:04] <zloog420> desertc: thanks
[00:04] <MichealPW> Slart: True. I'd then have Users and my sudo user then? Using only the sudo user when I wish to perform administrative tasks?
[00:04] <MichealPW> Slart: That's when I wonder, why not simply enable the root account?:)
[00:04] <zloog420> Anyone know what cheap soundcard i should buy to get good ubuntu support?
[00:05] <robistech60-step> sudo exists so that if you are logged in and you wish to administer you still have security in that not even other applications have access to things that you don't want them to
[00:05] <robistech60-step> you can login as root in comandline
[00:05] <andi5> RPG_: sudo modprobe uinput?
[00:05] <MichealPW> rabistech: Unless those applications brute-force your password?:/
[00:05] <Slart> MichealPW: yes.. that's the "ubuntu way" =)... when you log in as root.. *everything* is run as root.. that means amarok can trash your system if it malfunctions
[00:05] <Martix> hi
[00:05] <RPG_> andi5, yes.. that's... easy...
[00:06] <nova> how do i get sound from 2 apps at the same time, i tried installing pulseaudio but i guess i messed something up because pulseaudio doesnt work?
[00:06] <Slart> MichealPW: and if you really want a root shell you can do "sudo su"..
[00:06] <MichealPW> Slart: True, which is why root would be preserved strictly for administrative purposes. In fact, gdm by default disables root login.
[00:06] <thisguy47> Hey, my downloads in many of my applications (firefox, wget, apt-get, etc.) stop in the middle of downloading. Yesterday I was told to upgrade/downgrade the driver for my NIC (ipw2200). The only problem is that I really don't know how to do this. Could anyone explain?
[00:06] <robistech60-step> and bruteforcing your password shouldn't be too easy or quick
[00:06] <dfcarney> zloog420: anything older than a year or two should work just fine, i think.  you really just care about the chipset.  i'd stick with something from a major vendor, like Intel or VIA
[00:06] <tarsin> hello, i need to build a custom kernel (including applying some patches not included with ubuntu) to a computer that doesn't have internet access.  so, i have 2 questions.. where can i get the packages needed for building a kernel, and where do i put them on my system? is there a document for building kernels with ubuntu? i am using desktop 7.10
[00:06] <Nimby> andi5 that link is about how to setup windows partitiona for viewing, not on how to take ownership
[00:06] <Adam___> MAC OSX RULES
[00:06] <Slart> MichealPW: but I sometimes wish I could have a second password for sudo... for that extra "sleep well at night" security =)
[00:07] <DrLaunch> Did anyone read my question?

[00:08] <zloog420> :(
[00:08] <Nimby> seems to be all abouting accessing partitions etc I cannot see anything regarding ownership
[00:08] <valmarko> Hi. Could someone tell me how to enable pulseaudio ? Something happened and it is disabled. I cant find the device, now
[00:09] <nova> anyone know of a simple how-to on installing pulseaudio into gutsy 64bit?
[00:09] <andi5> Nimby: could you please press Ctrl-F o w n e r ?
[00:09] <desertc> valmarko: Is pulseaudio in Ubuntu now?
[00:09] <Nimby> but maybe because its referring to fat32 partitions I missed it
[00:09] <Slart> MichealPW: read this page.. it explains a lot of things and has some arguments on the sudo vs root debate https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:09] <valmarko> desertc, the files, yes.
[00:09] <lapisdecor> how do I reload gnome pannel? please?
[00:09] <andi5> lapisdecor: killall gnome-panel
[00:09] <Nimby> ? is that some weird insult because I missed something ?
[00:09] <lapisdecor> thank you
[00:10] <MichealPW> Slart: I was recommended to read that and have just finished doing so.
[00:10] <desertc> Fedora releases new version and includes PulseAudio.  Next day, #ubuntu has lots of "ubuntu users" wanting their PulseAudio working.
[00:10] <lapisdecor> andi you are my hero
[00:10] <DrLaunch> How can I put a search box in my panel?
[00:10] <andi5> lapisdecor: hehe, thanks :-D
[00:10] <putergirl> hi
[00:10] <Neatchee> Hi all.  I'm trying to install a fresh copy of Gutsy on a new home-built PC, but I'm experiencing crashes/lockups related to video problems.  The graphics chipset in use is the Intel 950 series.  I've tried both the intel experimental drivers (which cause a freeze with visual irregularities shortly after boot), and the i810 drivers (which result in low resolutions, and when i try to change the resolutions, GDM crashes and won't rest
[00:10] <Neatchee> art)
[00:10] <andi5> DrLaunch: you mean deskbar?
[00:10] <valmarko> desertc, yes. you're right , Big Brother
[00:11] <DrLaunch> andi5: Yeah. Probably. But I only got a button that brings up a window.
[00:11] <Slart> Neatchee: that's odd.. I thought intels graphics chips had good support under linux
[00:11] <Neatchee> Slart: i thought so too :(
[00:11] <desertc> Neatchee: Sounds like something that should get a bug report in Launchpad.  Been there yet?
[00:11] <andi5> DrLaunch: iirc it can be configured to be an entry bar by default... i do not use it myself
[00:12] <Neatchee> desertc: yeah, see, i just built this PC for my grandfather and I'm going back to New York City tomorrow, so I can't exactly take the time for a launchpad bug -_- (though i'll definitely be submitting one when i return to NYC)
[00:12] <tarsin> whats up with grub and the root=UUID=blah ?? tihs is some crazy hash value?  whatever happened to the sda1 reference?
[00:12] <desertc> Neatchee: I mean to say that putting the bug details on his computer would help the rest of us.
[00:12] <moofoo> hello, can someone please confirm that maxima is broken under gutsy? (just sudo apt-get install maxima , start maxima and enter e.g. 1+1, wxmaxima seems to work though)
[00:12] <jonathan_> Hey guys, I have a string value "20.23232393".  I'm converting it to float by using String.to_f.  How can I just allow 3 digits after the decimal point and 2 before, like 20.232?
[00:12] <desertc> tarsin: You can use the sd value instead, if you like.
[00:13] <grampaj0e> Hey, I have a sound-related issue.  I have a fresh install of 7.10, and when I first started everything up, the sound worked just fine.  After letting the software update do its thing, I restarted and had no sound.  I'm using a Creative Audigy 2 pci card.
[00:13] <MichealPW> Thank you for your time, Slart.
[00:13] <andi5> tarsin: this crazy hash value is actually pretty cool if you start resizing, inserting (whatever) partitions someday
[00:13] <Slart> tarsin: that's the hardware serial of the drive.. so if you move the drives around in the computer it still gets' the same label and mountpoint
[00:13] <Nimby> on the cd/dvd it shows /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto but there is nothing regarding users or groups in fstab
[00:13] <desertc> grampaj0e: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[00:13] <tarsin> ah i see. interesting
[00:14] <electrofreak> desertc, tarsin, why is that that hash value thing? I don't see the purpose.
[00:14] <andi5> jonathan_: i have no clue what programming language you are talking about, but this channel is about general ubuntu distribution support
[00:14] <electrofreak> *there
[00:14] <DrLaunch> I was able to make a deskbar text box in earlier versions. But I think I was using Beagle for that. It's not possible with... I think it was Tracker.
[00:14] <Nimby> # /dev/sda1
[00:14] <Nimby> UUID=78F8E497F8E454C2 /media/sda1     ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1 is one of the hd partitions
[00:14] <Slart> tarsin: you can still use /dev/sdb2 and such... but ubuntu uses the giant numbers by default for it's own stuff
[00:14] <desertc> electrofreak: It's a disk reference
[00:14] <Chewy954> Can someone help me with BMPx? I get a "gst-stream-error-quark / 1" error.....
[00:14] <lexko_> I'm having some issues having the -server kernel installed. The "restrictedmanager" package won't start for one and a solution/workaround is to use -generic. Now that I am up and running is there any difference in switching from the -server kernel to -generic? and how might I do that
[00:14] <Nimby> is that where I would add the user/group bit?
[00:14] <marious> good day all, perhaps some one could help me out real quick. I am sure it has been said by some others but just ran into the problem a few minutes ago trying to update to 7.10.
[00:14] <moope2> how do I stop alsa loading on boot?
[00:14] <electrofreak> desertc, but why? I've never seen any other distro do that
[00:14] <andi5> gst-stream-error-quark? ;-) cooll .... is there gst-mit-sosse as well? ;-)
[00:15] <tarsin> curious why ubuntu didn't go the virtual volume manager route.. like fedora.. seems to serve a similar purpose
[00:15] <Slart> electrofreak: it's actually pretty reasonable.. I'd be surprised if ubuntu was the only distro using it
[00:15] <desertc> electrofreak: Just what they do.
[00:15] <marious> A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.
[00:15] <marious> Failed to fetch http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu/dists/edgy/stable/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[00:15] <marious> I get this error when I try to update any one that can help me or point me in the right direction?
[00:15] <tarsin> anyway.. so i need to build a custom kernel. i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560. problem is the computer isn't on the internet. how to i get the packages apt-get is refering to?
[00:16] <Slart> tarsin: download the deb, put it on a usb-drive
[00:16] <electrofreak> Slart, maybe other use it, I just haven't noticed/seen any. But is it somehow more secure or something?
[00:16] <Bruno_> mpeters: it keeps on saying connection refused
[00:16] <andi5> marious: sounds like your distribution mirror stopped shipping edgy :-) ... maybe you should reconfigure your software sources?
[00:16] <Slart> electrofreak: nope.. you just specify the partition by using that number instead of saying it's the third partition on the harddrive connected to the first SATA port
[00:17] <tarsin> Slart. ok/ where do i find the .deb's and how do i use them once i get it? does apt-get have a argument i can pass to it that says to look for the package on the local system?
[00:17] <marious> looks like it, any suggestions? As to a good place to point it to?
[00:17] <kriel> can someone reccomend a cpu heat monitoring program, preferably one that sits on my toolbar?
[00:17] <andi5> tarsin: use "dpkg -i $pkg.deb" then
[00:17] <andi5> tarsin: but why do you want to download single debs at all?
[00:17] <marious> And thanks for the response andi
[00:17] <Slart> electrofreak: so if you move you harddrives around.. or even do stuff to the partitions.. that number still points to the same partition.. even if it's now partition 2 on the hard drive connected to the third sata port
[00:17] <Bruno_> mpeters: here is his netstat -atnp output http://pastebin.com/m7022ee8f
[00:18] <cognivore_1> can someone recommend how to get rid of
[00:18] <Slart> tarsin: I don't know if apt can do it.. but there's a package search on the ubuntu site
[00:18] <Slart> tarsin: so you can use your regular browser
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> cognivore_1: get rid of what?
[00:18] <tarsin> andi, i dont know :) my goal is to build a kernel. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560 is asking me to use apt-get.. i cant use apt-get on this machine because it will fail to fetch the packages from the internet.. so i need a way around the apt-get step
[00:18] <andi5> marious: it is somewhere in system > administration, e.g. go for fr.archive.ubuntu.com
[00:19] <lubosz> yoo, which software should i use to mount ext3 in xp?
[00:19] <tarsin> Slart, ok
[00:19] <Slart> tarsin: and when you want to install it you can just double click the deb in gnome.. or use "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb"
[00:19] <grampaj0e> desertc: Thanks for the article. It looks like alsamixer is using my motherboard's integrated sound instead of the Audigy 2, though.
[00:19] <Slart> lubosz: you use "mount" =)
[00:19] <lubos> how come that ubuntu does not have /etc/inittab file? what does ubuntu use instead? Or is it just me missing this file?
[00:19] <lexko_> the restricted device manager is saying that I need "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server" installed, but that module does not exist
[00:19] <lubosz> Slart: :p
[00:19] <Slart> lubosz: oh.. sorry.. wrong os.. =/
[00:19] <andi5> tarsin: why does it fail to download these rather standard packages?
[00:19] <lubos> lubosz: nice name ...!!
[00:20] <lubosz> lubos: lawl
[00:20] <dn4> tim sath live listen now bitchs http://stugs.com:8000/listen.pls
[00:20] <Slart> lubosz: there is one application.. linux reader or something.. you can get individual files from extw/ext3
[00:20] <tarsin> andi5, because the computer is in a lab without internet connection or http proxy
[00:20] <andi5> lubos: i have /etc/inittab
[00:20] <andi5> lubos: maybe that is due to an upgrade, though
[00:20] <IndyGunFreak> cognivore_1: what are you trying to remove?
[00:20] <jonnymac> does anyone here play chess who could help me with chess software?
[00:21] <andi5> tarsin: i see... then check packages.ubuntu.com for the packages you need and download them from there
[00:21] <Bruno_> andi5: im trying to copy a file from my computar to a friends using scp, but i keep getting connection refused, what can i do?
[00:21] <tarsin> andi5, ok. thanks
[00:21] <thinh> anyone know which one is better router ddyns or ddclient?
[00:21] <Slart> tarsin: if you're going to do this often you can download a dvd with the latest greatest packages from ubuntu
[00:21] <desertc> jonnymac: There are programs in Synaptic that will install a chess game for you.
[00:21] <lubos> andi5: i'm using feisty.. what version do you have?
[00:21] <andi5> Bruno_: have you tried to ssh into the computer? maybe via ssh -vv?
[00:21] <cognivore_1> hi, can someone tell me how to get rid of trackerd eating my CPU?
[00:22] <andi5> lubos: gutsy now (prior: feisty)
[00:22] <jonnymac> I know but I was hoping to find a chess geek like me so's they could recommend something a bit better
[00:22] <Bruno_> andi5: no, do i have to do that first?
[00:22] <Slart> cognivore_1: kill it.. and disable the daemon.. it did that for me too
[00:22] <desertc> grampaj0e: You can set those defaults in the GNOME sound manager
[00:22] <Nimby> when I look at mount options it says "rw nosuid noatime user_id=0 group_id=0 allow_other" I assume I set a new line in mount options that replaces that with my username where user_id is but do I leave group_id alone ?
[00:22] <tarsin> Slart, not a bad idea... eventually i would like to setup an http proxy in the lab for this purpose.. but right now i just need to get this going first..
[00:22] <andi5> Bruno_: well, i can ssh all machines i want, so i guess you will need to deep a little deeper :-)
[00:22] <cognivore_1> Hi Slart, thanks, what is the name of the daemon that takes care of the trackerd?
[00:22] <cognivore_1> I would be thankful
[00:22] <andi5> Bruno_: deep = dig
[00:23] <Nimby> or is it user_id=(username)
[00:23] <Slart> cognivore_1: I think there is a setting in administration, services or something..
[00:23] <andi5> cognivore_1: trackerd is a daemon
[00:23] <Bruno_> andi5: still i need his passwd and i dont have it. Will i have to ask for it, or is there an other way?
[00:23] <primary> Hello. I'd like to rename a hard drive. Is this possible?
[00:24] <tarsin> Slart, andi5, is this still the recommended kernel building doc?? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560.  I noticed its based off the 2.6.16 kernel.. i'm running desktop 7.10 i believe it has 2.6.22.. not that there are big differences between .16 and .22 in this respect but i'd be nice to know if there is a later doc
[00:24] <andi5> Bruno_: depends on how your fried configured his sshd... but if you do not have the password, there may be a reason for it ;-)
[00:24] <cognivore_1> thanks andi and slart
[00:24] <Animortis> Does anyone know a place to learn how to share my Ubuntu printer over a wireless mixed network?
[00:24] <Slart> tarsin: I haven't been messing with my kernel so I wouldn't know
[00:24] <Slart> cognivore_1: you're welcome
[00:25] <Animortis> It's connected to a PC which is connected to the network.
[00:25] <andi5> tarsin: hm... it belongs to "outdated tutorials and tricks"... judge yourself ;-)
[00:25] <Bruno_> andi5: well i havent asked him, he could probably give it to me. What would be the syntax for the command? ssh -l alonso his ip -p 22?
[00:25] <tarsin> andi5, haha.. i didn't notice that
[00:25] <andi5> Bruno_: ssh alonso@$ip will suffice (or -l alonso $ip)
[00:25] <Bruno_> andi5: ok
[00:26] <teprrr> hello, can anyone tell me where to look as I'm missing /etc/init.d/hal file? I deleted it earlier and --reinstalling package hal doesn't install it back for some reason :(
[00:26] <Bruno_> 201.141.175.146 comes back connection refused
[00:26] <Slart> tarsin: here are the dvd's.. they include lots, if not all, packages.. handy to have when internet isn't available  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/
[00:26] <andi5> teprrr: does dpkg-reconfigure hal help?
[00:26] <Bruno_> andi5: comes back connection refused....
[00:26] <tarsin> Slart, many thanks
[00:27] <andi5> Bruno_: ssh -vv alonso@$ip?
[00:27] <nfusco> Anyone had any joy installing NDiswrapper on a Broadcom 4306 (rev 2) chipset?  Its a dell truemobile 1300 card?
[00:28] <os2mac> nfusco: ... I did that once.... but then they upgraded Ubuntu and it works out of the box...
[00:28] <Bruno_> andi5:no, i had forgoten the -vv, what the output on pastebin?
[00:28] <nfusco> Ive done numerous HOWTOs and still cant get it running, Im running feisty, if that makes ny difference
[00:28] <astro76> nfusco, shouldn't be necessary, open source driver is perfect on the 4306... did for me on feisty too
[00:28] <andi5> Bruno_: yes
[00:29] <Bruno_> andi5: http://pastebin.com/d428868b1
[00:29] <andi5> Bruno_: ouch... does the sshd run at all?
[00:29] <ridge-meister> i'm looking for a video editing tool that can create thumbnails from a video file
[00:29] <andi5> Bruno_: or is it natted?
[00:29] <Bruno_> andi5: mine or his? and how do i check
[00:30] <andi5> his of course
[00:30] <Nimby> is sda primary and sdb secondary drives ?
[00:30] <nfusco> os2mac && astro76, I had gutsy installed and was using the restricted driver, It suffered this bug though and was unusable: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/124159
[00:30] <andi5> Bruno_: well... you just checked it and it did not look very good
[00:30] <Slart> ridge-meister: tell me if you find one.. I had to do a script for it.. using mplayer
[00:31] <andi5> Nimby: not necessary... i think that was true for ide though
[00:31] <nfusco> astro76, also mines the 4306 (rev 02)
[00:31] <Bruno_> andi5: do you want the netstat -atnp output?
[00:31] <Nimby> thanks andi5
[00:31] <teprrr> andi5, * Reloading system message bus config...                                                                                                            [ OK ] -- that's all output it gives me
[00:31] <crazy6> hrm, booting with "splash" makes X not work properly (black screen)
[00:31] <ridge-meister> Slart: would you mind sharing that script?
[00:32] <andi5> Bruno_: what does that help?  do you know for sure that your friends sshd is running?
[00:32] <Bruno_> andi5: yes, here is his otput of netstat -atnp http://pastebin.com/m7022ee8f
[00:32] <Nimby> guide shows -- sudo chown username:usergroup /media/harddrive what do I put in usergroup ?
[00:32] <andi5> teprrr: so /etc/init.d/hal is still missing?  maybe pruning the package first helps?, i dunno
[00:34] <andi5> Bruno_: i see... does he see anything in his sshd log files, is he firewalled? ...
[00:34] <cognivore_1> is there a way to install xaric in Ubuntu?
[00:34] <cognivore_1> is there a way to install xaric in Ubuntu?
[00:34] <sauvin> What's xaric?
[00:35] <cognivore_1> a irc client
[00:35] <cognivore_1> i am not able to compile xaric
[00:35] <Bruno_> andi5: he's firewalled but he allowed port 22. how can he see his logs?
[00:35] <andi5> Bruno_: have you tried a port scan on his ip?
[00:36] <sauvin> what result do you get when you try to build xaric?
[00:36] <Slart> ridge-meister: hang on.. I'll see if I've still got it
[00:36] <Bruno_> andi5: no how do i do that?
[00:36] <Nimby> do I put username:root etc ?
[00:36] <crazy6> ok,this continues to refuse to work... is there a boot option (in grub) that I can pass that will prevent X from starting?
[00:37] <andi5> Bruno_: sudo apt-get install nmap ; man nmap
[00:37] <SbCl3> is there a way to get (k)ubuntu to start on tty1 instead of tty7?
[00:38] <notepad> Hrmm
[00:38] <andi5> crazy6: disable gdm for certain run levels and use 2 as option to start ubuntu into runlevel 2, or 3 for 3, or x for x...
[00:38] <notepad> I'm having a problem Switching users (As opposed to Logging out / Logging in to new account.)
[00:39] <andi5> SbCl3: yes, take a look into /etc/inittab
[00:39] <andi5> SbCl3: at least i hope so

[00:39]  * crazy6 can't boot into ubuntu
[00:40] <notepad> I can switch from account A to account B, however when I try to switch back to account A, the entire system hangs after loading the GNOME panels
[00:40] <andi5> crazy6: why that?
[00:40] <notepad> Anyone have any ideas?
[00:40] <andi5> your notepad has crashed? ;-)
[00:40] <Slart> ridge-meister: here what I found.. I'm not sure if this is the version that worked.. but it should give you some ideas.. I stole the basics from some other page on the net.. I'll see if I can find that too
[00:40] <notepad> HEEHEE!
[00:40] <Slart> ridge-meister: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45863/
[00:40] <notepad> My Ubuntu has:(
[00:40] <crazy6> andi5: not sure... X won't start, and Im left at a black screen (monitor getting no signal)
[00:40] <sauvin> cognivore_1, I've just build xaric under debian with no trouble. What problem did you have?
[00:40] <Nimby> I give up
[00:41] <bitbit> Hi when I connect my graphics card to the pci-e slot ubuntu wont start. instead i get a black screen and an input line to enter terminal commands. how do I fix this?
[00:41] <andi5> crazy6: eek, that is suboptimal
[00:41] <sauvin> Nimby, what's up?
[00:41] <ciacon> Slart: back again ;-)
[00:41] <Nimby> I'm trying to take ownership of drives made with windows
[00:41] <GButler> crazy6: can you boot into single-user mode from grub?
[00:41] <teprrr> andi5, ah, looks like it did help. now I got /etc/init.d/hal, but it returns with exit status 1, which causes setting up to fail
[00:41] <Nimby> but all I keep getting is dont have rights etc
[00:41] <Slart> ciacon: reinstalled already??
[00:41] <sauvin> Nimby, can you be a bit more descriptive? :)
[00:41] <notepad> I can switch from account A to account B, however when I try to switch back to account A, the entire system hangs while loading the GNOME panel
[00:42] <Chewy954> Can someone help me with BMPx? I get a "gst-stream-error-quark / 1" error.....
[00:42] <crazy6> andi5: and I swear it worked before, I thought I just removed "splash" from the boot options..
[00:42] <andi5> teprrr: is not hal started by dbus?
[00:42] <juano__> !audacious
[00:42] <ubotu> audacious is included in !Feisty. A !repository also exists for !Edgy: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[00:42] <ciacon> Slart: can I talk to you in priv chat?
[00:42] <teprrr> andi5, ahh. the problem was that hal was already started.. seems to work now. thanks :)
[00:42] <andi5> crazy6: does removing "quiet" help?
[00:42] <Slart> ciacon: sure
[00:43] <Bruno_> andi5: output of port scan http://pastebin.com/d749611a5
[00:43] <Nimby> the drives were formatted in windows vista in ntfs, I am trying to ditch windows and want to be able to share folders on the drives but I need to take ownership to do so, I have no clue how to do this
[00:43] <chester_martins> anyone knows much about how create a custom ubuntu?
[00:43] <crazy6> andi5: let's try... should I have a video= line at the end or no?
[00:43] <sauvin> Nimby, where are these drives physically?
[00:43] <andi5> crazy6: maybe not
[00:43] <notepad> I can switch from account A to account B, however when I try to switch back to account A, the entire system hangs while loading the GNOME panel
[00:44] <bitbit> help?
[00:44] <Nimby> they are sata drives, one has 2 partitions and the other has 3 windows partitions and one ext partition
[00:44] <Neatchee> I am desperate for a little bit of personalized help right now.  I just built a new PC for my grandfather (old iMac running OS8.6 wasn't cutting it anymore), and I'm having serious crash problems.  GDM will either completely lock up, or crash (and be unable to restart) about 2 mins after initial boot up.
[00:44] <crazy6> andi5: nope... man, and I was just playing Q3 on this before (3d accel worked! with the radeon driver)
[00:44] <sauvin> Erm... I don't know anything about SATA :\
[00:44] <Neatchee> The problem is, I have to go back to NYC tomorrow night, so I need to get this fixed asap
[00:44] <andi5> Bruno_: sounds like all port were filtered (packets dropped) ... does the friends router forward packets to port 22?
[00:45] <sauvin> Nimby, can you mount these drives AT ALL?
[00:45] <Nimby> they appear as sda1 and sda2 etc
[00:45] <notepad> Could someone help me with Ubuntu's switch user functionality?
[00:45] <Bruno_> andi5: how can i find out?
[00:45] <notepad> I can switch from account A to account B, however when I try to switch back to account A, the entire system hangs while loading the GNOME panel
[00:45] <Nimby> the drives are all mounted and accessable
[00:45] <sauvin> They're all mounted and accessible, but....?
[00:45] <andi5> Bruno_: not at all, unless you have access to the routers configuration
[00:45] <andi5> Bruno_: grab the telephone, please
[00:45] <Bruno_> andi5: now?
[00:46] <Nimby> but I cannot share folders etc because I do not "own@ the partitions
[00:46] <bitbit> when I connect my graphics card to the pci-e slot ubuntu wont start. instead i get a black screen and an input line to enter terminal commands. how do I fix this?
[00:46] <sauvin> Nimby, this is just a permissions problem?
[00:46] <mnereso1> anyone try to run Ubuntu under Microsoft virtual PC 2007? how long does it take to boot? I've heard its "a long time" but I don't know how long a long time is.
[00:46] <Pelo> notepad, does it hang for a long time ? cause going from a to b just means it starts a blank sesson,  going back to A means it has to reload the previous session, i fyou know what I mean
[00:46] <Nimby> I want the folders to be freely shared without a login name etc
[00:46] <sauvin> Um... login name?
[00:46] <sauvin> OK, shared among whom?
[00:46] <notepad> Pelo: Somewhat. The system was unresponsive for a long period of time, I generally give up and hit restart hehe.
[00:47] <Pelo> bitbit, boot recovery mode and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:47] <Pelo> notepad,  what do we mean by long time ? more then 10 sec ? more then 10 min ?
[00:47] <notepad> Pelo: 3 minutes?
[00:47] <bitbit> Pelo: how do I boot recovery mode?
[00:47] <Nimby> local network, avi's etc stored in them so just want to point and click from windows pc and xbox etc but do not want to have supply a username/pwd etc
[00:47] <notepad> Pelo: I have the patients of a kitten:(
[00:47] <Pelo> notepad, 3 min does seem a bit excesive
[00:48] <sauvin> So these drives are all on different machines?
[00:48] <Pelo> notepad, got anything heavy running in session A
[00:48] <X-Sleepy-X> hi! why is there an ubuntu DVD edition? what is the difference between that one and the CD edition?
[00:48] <Nimby> I tried ubuntu under virtual pc on one machine and it worked fine but on another it just wouldnt boot up at all
[00:48] <notepad> Pelo: Firefox with ~5 tabs, XChat, Pidgin and OpenOffice Writer.
[00:48] <Pelo> bitbit,  from the grub boot menu, second option usualy, if you don't see the grub boot menu when you boot the comp,  hit the esc key right after the bios info is done
[00:49] <sauvin> Nimby, nobody is going to be able to help you unless you furnish some relevent ifo.
[00:49] <IndyGunFreak> X-Sleepy-X: i belive the DVD edition, has a lot of software on the CD, rather than needing to download them via the repos(very handy for dial up users)
[00:49] <Pelo> notepad,  there is your culprit, firefox is hungry as hell,  try doing it with FF closed
[00:49] <bitbit> k ty
[00:49] <notepad> Hrmm. Will do, thanks. *Starts testing*
[00:49] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, X-Sleepy-X   the dvd has the complete universe and main repos on it
[00:49] <X-Sleepy-X> IndyGunFreak: ok that makes sence, thank you! i tried to google it without success
[00:49] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: thats what i thought, wasnt 100% sure though
[00:50]  * sauvin can testify the ubuntu DVD has a ton of *stuff* on it
[00:50] <putergirl> wizzard
[00:50] <andi5> "firefox is hungry as hell" is not true, please do not say that... there are several ways to make it leaky though (popular: some extensions)
[00:50]  * Pelo isn't just a pretty face , he knows some usefull stuff
[00:50] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: lol
[00:50] <X-Sleepy-X> how to check the md5sum on the downloaded cd?
[00:50] <mnereso1> How long does Ubuntu take to under Microsoft virtual PC 2007?  estimates?
[00:50] <Arct|cA|rborne> .
[00:50] <andi5> X-Sleepy-X: md5sum $file.iso
[00:50]  * Nimby should pull his hair out slower :)
[00:50] <Bruno_> andi5: what do i do now?
[00:50] <X-Sleepy-X> ok thanks
[00:51] <sauvin> Nimby, you don't answer: all these drives you're trying to share are on different machines, yes?
[00:51] <gregarei> mnereso1: 2 hours, 36min, 5sec 40msec
[00:51] <IndyGunFreak> X-Sleepy-X: i never check them, i just burn them nice and slow, never a problem
[00:51] <Pelo> andi5, FF with multiple tabs open is the most resourse consuming app in my comp,  unless java throws a fit and then frostwire eats up everyting in site
[00:51] <Nimby> no they are all local on this pc
[00:51] <andi5> Bruno_: phone your friend or wait until tomorrow if it is too late...
[00:51] <X-Sleepy-X> ;) me too, but i was going to try the md5thingy just for fun
[00:51] <Nimby> sauvin, thanks fro replying and it wasnt meant to be a moan about no replies etc :)
[00:51] <Bruno_> andi5: i have him on msn, what do i tell him?
[00:51] <andi5> Pelo: i suppose you know about caches and alike :-)
[00:51] <sauvin> Nimby, and all the sharing you want to do is among the different users just of this local machine?
[00:52] <sauvin> Nimby, trust me: I KNOW about configuration frustrations.
[00:52]  * Pelo knows nothing about caches and alike,  he has no idea what andi5  is talking about 
[00:52] <andi5> Bruno_: he should check if he instructed his router to forward new packets to port 22 to his local ip
[00:52] <andi5> Pelo:  :-)
[00:52] <Nimby> savin I want the folders on this pc to be available on the network, only one user on this pc
[00:52]  * Pelo is serious 
[00:52] <Bruno_> andi5: how can he do that?
[00:52] <Nimby> *sauvin sorry
[00:52] <andi5> oops.
[00:52] <grampaj0e> How do I set my default sound device in 7.10?
[00:53] <sauvin> These other machines on the network, what OS(s) are they running?
[00:53] <andi5> Bruno_: w3m 192.168.1.1, i suppose
[00:53] <Nimby> xp and xbox
[00:53] <Pelo> grampaj0e, type alsamixer in the terminal
[00:53] <sauvin> Crap.
[00:53] <gregarei> grampaj0e: google alsa default device - involves writinng .alsarc
[00:53] <sauvin> You're probably stuck with something like samba.
[00:53] <Mozul> When I chmod some files it says Operation Not Permitted.  Why is this?
[00:54] <scrubb2000> Could someone help me with my TV card please?
[00:54] <sauvin> Mozul, you're chmodding files you don't have permission to modify.
[00:54] <Pelo> Mozul,  sudo chmod
[00:54] <desertc> Pelo ?
[00:54] <crazy6> uhoh, big trouble in little china... glibc is corrupted, or something...
[00:54] <Nimby> I know samba doesnt share ntfs drives well but I need to be able to do whatever I like with them until I can reformat into ext3
[00:54] <desertc> grampaj0e: System -> Preferences -> Sound
[00:54] <Pelo> desertc, yes ?
[00:54] <sauvin> Even with ext3, though, your Windows machines are going to need some kind of server running on the linux machine.
[00:55] <Nimby> its not a samba sharing problem its how to take ownership of the drives on this pc so that I can set share permissions, which I cannot do at all at the moment
[00:55] <andi5> Pelo: do you use java or flash a lot... did you install a lot of (possibly leaking) extensions?  how many reserved mb does firefox use?
[00:55] <Pelo> andi5, I have java instaled, I use flash a lot,  and I only have about 3 running extenstion most of them have to do with keeping java and flash from starting without me wanting them to
[00:56] <sauvin> Nimby, you're talking about making a linux local directory accessible to a Windows machine over the network, through what Windows calls a "network mapped drive", unless I'm mistakken.
[00:56] <c0Ld> I just installed Deluge from the ubuntu .deb package on their site, but I'd like to revert to the version in the repos -- how can I remove this one?
[00:56] <buzztu> thought installing IE on ubuntu inorder use streaming video from nbc.com
[00:56] <buzztu> ?
[00:56] <scrubb2000> "/dev/dvb/adapter0 doesn't exist, but the drivers and firmware seem to be in place.  Can someone help me figure out why?
[00:56]  * sauvin is running iceweasel or icemonkey or ice-something-or-other
[00:56] <Nimby> its not so much a network problem as a local problem, it doesnt let me set share permissions the way I want and reports that I am not the owner
[00:56] <andi5> iceweasel? is not that debian-branded firefox?
[00:57] <Pelo> c0Ld,   go into synaptic search for deluge and remove it ,  then reload and search for deluge again and install
[00:57] <sauvin> andi5, yes, I'm running debian.
[00:57] <ToddEDM> whats the command to install gnome from kubuntu
[00:57]  * Pelo throws sauvin  a dirty look 
[00:57] <sauvin> Nimby, with or in what are you trying to set "share permissions"?
[00:57]  * sauvin is too lazy to reboot into ubuntu
[00:57] <kitche> andi5 yes and no it's debian brand and gnu's gpl version of firefox as well
[00:58] <ToddEDM> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[00:58] <ToddEDM> is that it?
[00:58] <andi5> kitche: thanks
[00:58] <sauvin> Iceweasel seems a bit zippier somehow.
[00:58] <emet> !info ubuntu-desktop | ToddEDM
[00:58] <ubotu> toddedm: ubuntu-desktop: The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.79 (gutsy), package size 22 kB, installed size 48 kB
[00:58] <Nimby> I have tried the terminal but dont know it very well and in the file browser
[00:58] <emet> ToddEDM,  yes
[00:58] <MichealPW> Well, I tried switching users without Firefox and it still froze.
[00:59] <ToddEDM> emet:  that doesnt work
[00:59] <Pelo> Nimby,  bookmark this for future ref  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[00:59] <andi5> MichealPW: froze?  can you open a terminal, maybe after you made a keybinding for it?
[00:59] <Pelo> ToddEDM, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop make sure of the spelling
[00:59] <sauvin> Nimby, if I understand you properly, you may need to create a group "everybody_who_wants_to_share_these_directories" and chown these directories to that group.
[00:59] <MichealPW> andi5: No. Num Lock doesn't even change the LED status on my keyboard.
[00:59] <andi5> ouchabella
[01:00] <MichealPW> Pelo: Tried without Firefox, problem remains.
[01:00] <emet> ToddEDM,  should work it installs like 300 packages btw
[01:00] <ToddEDM> hmmm it looks exactly the same
[01:00]  * Pelo is tempted to tell andi5  to watch his language but isn't sure 
[01:00] <andi5> MichealPW: so i guess even ctrl-alt-f1 does not switch to the console
[01:00] <Pelo> MichealPW, how much memory do you have  ?
[01:00] <sauvin> Pelo, that's a beautiful link; I've bookmarked it. At the same time, which from among thousands of commands does Nimby need to work with? I know. You know. Does he?
[01:00] <emet> ToddEDM,  are you using x-chat ?
[01:00] <andi5> Pelo: tell me, please tell me
[01:00] <MichealPW> andi5: Nope.
[01:00] <andi5> Pelo: i am tired anyway :)
[01:00] <MichealPW> Pelo: 1,024mb.
[01:01] <ToddEDM> it says reading pack list .... done   readsing state info...done then at the end it says E: couldn;t find package ubuntu-desktop
[01:01] <Nimby> the short answer is nope :0
[01:01] <Bruno_> andi5: it came back username for WGR614v5
[01:01] <Pelo> sauvin, I jsut read that he didnt, knwo how to navigate from the terminal,  that link explains it,  I didn'T see the begining of his problem
[01:01] <ToddEDM> no im not using x-chat
[01:01] <andi5> Bruno_: is the capable of logging in?
[01:01] <Pelo> MichealPW, don't know then,  1gig mem should be enough
[01:01] <emet> ToddEDM, try doing it in the GUI package manager Adept
[01:01] <sauvin> Pelo: he's having trouble setting permissions for a hierarchy of directories (as I understand it) such that a group of people can access them.
[01:02] <andi5> MichealPW: do you have a swap partition?
[01:02] <emet> ToddEDM, you know how to use Adept or Synaptec?
[01:02] <Bruno_> andi5: no he doesnt know what that is, and neither do i
[01:02] <MichealPW> Pelo: I agree. This is a GNOME issue, yes? (Switch user is a GNOME session thing?)
[01:02] <ToddEDM> yeah, i guess i will try that
[01:02] <MichealPW> andi5: Yes. I've created a 1,024mb /swap partition.
[01:02] <pjeide> Since trying to get divx to work by installing w32codecs, my video is now broken in Mplayer, Kaffeine & Totem.  The video box just appears as a distorted array of color bars. The audio is still active in the background.  I have vx/X11 selected for video.
[01:02] <emet> ToddEDM,  you might have to resync your package list too that is "sudo apt-get update"
[01:02] <andi5> Bruno_: that is really bad, because then you will never be able to contact the sshd
[01:02] <pjeide> What is the best way to reinstall core video drivers from scratch?
[01:02] <Pelo> sauvin, I'm no good with permission I usualy just start nautilus as root,  browse my way to the corect folder right click and set permisson from the property dialog
[01:02] <emet> ToddEDM,  I assure you ubuntu-desktop is a valid package, so you have some kinda problem on your side
[01:02] <sauvin> pjeide, where did you put the codecs?
[01:03] <pjeide> No video format will work, not MPEG, AVI or DIVX
[01:03] <aguitel_> you will never be ab
[01:03] <ToddEDM> yes, the update
[01:03] <andi5> Pelo: would you mind if i /queried you?
[01:03] <pjeide> sauvin apt-get for w32codecs
[01:03] <sauvin> Oh :\
[01:03] <pjeide> should I remove and build from source?
[01:03] <Bruno_> andi5: is there a way of fixing it?
[01:04] <sauvin> No, I installed mplayer from the repos (apt-get) but grabbed the codecs from the mplayer home page and stuck them somewhere in /usr/lib/codecs, iirc.
[01:04] <grampaj0e> I looked up how to set the default alsa device, but /proc/asound/cards is empty, does that mean no cards are recognized?
[01:04] <MichealPW> Should my swap partition exceed 1,024mb, I wonder?
[01:04] <ToddEDM> emet:  it was the update, i updated, and now ubuntu is installing
[01:04] <juano__> kiii
[01:04] <emet> ToddEDM, ok cool
[01:04] <ToddEDM> thx bud
[01:04] <emet> ToddEDM,  it will take awhile
[01:05] <emet> np
[01:05] <ToddEDM> yeah 5 min left
[01:05] <Nimby> I might just back all the data up and reformat then re-install ubuntu from scratch
[01:05] <Nimby> problem is it's 2 750gb drives :)
[01:05] <tarsin> how do i force kernel modules to _not_ load at boot?
[01:05] <lexko_> the restricted drivers manager will not start for me and gives me the message that I need to install "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server" but this package does not exist
[01:06] <MichealPW> andi5: maybe there's a problem with my swap? I can't seem to find it:(
[01:06] <MichealPW> HEEHEE!
[01:06] <crazy6> wow, aticonfig yields a core dump!! something is wrong with ubuntu :(
[01:06] <infinitycircuit> tarsin, add them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[01:06] <Bruno_> andi5: he managed to log in
[01:06] <andi5> MichealPW: i do not know... `free` should sho wit
[01:06] <Bruno_> andi5:  now what?
[01:06] <Pelo> tarsin, man modprobe there is an option to blacklist a module
[01:07] <Neatchee> Ok so apparently graphics are only half of my problem.  I just got the system to boot up fine using the generic vesa drivers, but after 2 - 3 mins, GDM crashed.
[01:07] <andi5> Bruno_: depends on the menu structure... port forwarding might be a hint
[01:07] <infinitycircuit> tarsin, or you can pass them on the kernel boot line in grub using the syntax "disablemodules=???"
[01:07] <odyssey> i'm having trouble accessing my external hard drives.  anyone care to help?
[01:07] <tarsin> ok.. i read that but it was talking about blacklist an alias.. didn't sound like exactly what i wanted.. but i will try it
[01:07] <ridge-meister> Slart: thanks for the script.  don't really understand it at the moment, but am going to save it for when that moment comes
[01:07] <Neatchee> And now, on reboot, i get the login sounds, but just a cursor on a blank background
[01:07] <infinitycircuit> tarsin, but that will only work to stop modules from loading in the initial ram disk
[01:07] <MichealPW> Ah, yes. Free shows it with 0 used, 996020 free of 996020.
[01:07] <Neatchee> gnome doesn't actually load
[01:08] <tarsin> infinitycircuit, ah ok. thanks
[01:08] <Pelo> Neatchee,  gdm start
[01:08] <Pelo> I think
[01:08] <andi5> Bruno_: i have to go, i am sorry... good luck!

[01:15] <world_citizen> how does one make ubuntu 7.10 run fast
[01:15] <winchesterPAT> that takes the owrd Gman to  HOLE DIFRENT LEVEL :d
[01:15] <desertc> Neatchee: Are you sure your computer isn't having hardware problems?

[01:16] <winchesterPAT> GO BACK TO DEBIAN YOU TRAITORS
[01:16] <Pelo> tarsin, doyou have a wifi card ? in roaming mode ? I would expect they are ussed to redirect to one adaptor
[01:16] <c_ozzie> Bruno_: can you ssh into the computer? Is there a router that isn't directing the traffic correctly maybe?

[01:17] <world_citizen> Any ways to make ubuntu 7.10 run faster
[01:17] <MichealPW> Pelo: Alright. Well, I appreciate your help greatly. Good day:)
[01:17] <kitche> tarsin it's not ubuntu making them but another application which is used to find services on a network that might be running
[01:17] <Bruno_> c_ozzie: i also tried to ssh into the computer, heres the output http://pastebin.com/d428868b1
[01:18] <tarsin> Pelo, no.. actually they're all wired NICs. but i did notice in the network configuration setting the "roaming mode" was checked.. which couldn't be unchecked unless i manually assigned an IP or selected DHCP or ZeroConf.. i'm surprised there is no "disable NIC" option
[01:18] <Pelo> Gnomobile, boot the recovery mode and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg try for the correct driver if it doenst, work try again and use vesa, that will get you a desktop to work out the rest fo the problemfrom
[01:19] <Gnomobile> Pelo: ok thanks. I'll do that now and let you know how it goes.
[01:19] <ari_stress> morning2 all :D
[01:19] <Pelo> tarsin,  might be available from the command line,  but dhcp is the usual default ifyou want to know

[01:22] <Pelo> Neatchee, I suggest you do a search in the forum and in launchap for the symptoms you are getting , there might be a solution in there
[01:22] <c_ozzie> Bruno_: if it's incorrect routing, it's probably in his router, if he has one. He would have to have port 22 redirect explicitly to his box. He'd also have to have /etc/sshd.conf (iirc) set up to allow login from your network
[01:22] <winchesterPAT> i mean love
[01:22] <panfist> can anyone help me troubleshoot why my laptop won't resume from standby or hibernate?
[01:22] <grampaj0e> What would cause my sound to stop working after I log in?  I hear the drum noise at the login screen, so I know it's at least working.
[01:22] <Bruno_> c_ozzie: how can he do either thing? i have him on msn, i can tell him to fix it now
[01:22]  * Pelo thinks winchesterPAT needs a different hobby, one involving women , so he learns the real meaning of love , or at the very least the meaning of lust

[01:23] <panfist> winchesterpat believe me i want to
[01:23] <Gnomobile> Pelo: ok I'm rebooting now.
[01:23] <Pelo> panfist,  suspend /hibernate is not 100% in linux in general, I thought you'll should know that and not expect too much
[01:23] <Pelo> Gnomobile,  best of luck
[01:23] <c_ozzie> Bruno_: it all depends on the router. If he's got a westell versalink 327w, I can tell you how, but other than that I don't know
[01:23] <desertc> Maybe he has me on ignore...

[01:24] <winchesterPAT> Pelo: needs to mind his own bussiniss
[01:24]  * Pelo makes a note for future ref , desertc  had a good thought with the sound gui thingy

[01:24] <grampaj0e> desertc: Yeah, I have.  Is there something in specific I need to be looking at?

[01:26] <neighborlee> what tool can help me find out what package a given header file  ;) ?
[01:27] <Pelo> tyronepolleri,  sudo apt-get remove wine -purge , then delete /home/user/.wine

[01:27] <winchesterPAT> Gnomobile: i have news for you ! ATI is in love with VISTA !
[01:27] <c_ozzie> Bruno_: /etc/ssh/sshd_config may also have some stuff you need to modify, mine's customized and a couple years old, so I don't have a current stock config handy
[01:27] <whabo> help ... how to go to the partition manager.... i want to reformat my PclinuxOs partition As it is not working with grub ... and combine both partitions ... anyone? thx
[01:27] <Pelo> Neatchee, yours is the first time I have seen anyone mention this problem ( that i've noticed anyway ),  that doesn't realy mean anything mind you
[01:28] <Pelo> Neatchee,  are you running  amd64 or i386 ?
[01:28] <c_ozzie> Bruno_: it would say something along the lines of "Allow Network 192.168.0.1", you'd have to modify that to also include your IP
[01:28] <Bl4cKb0X_GnU> algum brasileiro ae?
[01:28] <Neatchee> i386
[01:28] <Scunizi> whabo: download and burn gparted live cd.
[01:28] <tyronepolleri> Pelo: It tells me that command line option 'p' from -purge isnot known
[01:28] <Gnomobile> System Settings → Advanced → Restricted Drivers and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver"  <--- this is what I did. So I installed the ati binaries and they didn't work?
[01:28] <Neatchee> tyronepolleri: i think it's just sudo apt-get purge wine
[01:28] <Pelo> Neatchee, if you had been using amd64 I would have suggested i386
[01:29] <Bruno_> c_ozzie: oh, we already edited that. he typed w3m 192.168.1.1 to edit the router. I dont know (and idoubt he knows) what router he has, so idk what part of the tutorial to follow
[01:29] <Pelo> tyronepolleri, my mistake  either --purge or -p
[01:29] <tyronepolleri> Pelo: thank you
[01:29] <winchesterPAT> Gnomobile: try ctrl+alt+f1
[01:29] <Nimby> oh well might aswell ask about another problem I am having, I am getting "tearing" when playing avi's/dvd's in movie player, I've set the refresh rate/resolution & Vblank options in compiz and it seemed to improve for awhile but now its back again

[01:30] <winchesterPAT> gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

[01:30] <tyronepolleri> Pelo: how can I delete the /.wine directory?
[01:31] <winchesterPAT> the best way is for you to send it over in echange fot a nvidia card i have here
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> winchesterPAT: that would be pretty useless, because you need root access to edit the file.

[01:36] <ma1> how do i force install a package ?
[01:36] <sauvin> ma1, have a few beers and maybe some Klonopin first.
[01:36] <Pelo> ma1,  sudo apt-get install pacakgenjame -f I beleive
[01:36] <juano__> sauvin: yes
[01:36] <user__> anyone know of some good file recovery software? (killed my NTFS partition but havent written over it at all)
[01:36] <juano__> sauvin: sega master system music files
[01:36] <Neatchee> Pelo: i can't seem to find anything on the forums.  It's so weird.  The symptoms are a little bit different with each vid driver (vesa, intel, i810), but always the crashes seem to come at a random time
[01:36] <Pelo> user__, ask in ##windows
[01:36] <sauvin> !!
[01:36] <ma1> sauvin:your right that sounds like a plan, when ?
[01:36] <MTecknology> what's the app that let's me edit the evolution calender w/o launching evolution?
[01:36] <Neatchee> for example, just now i was simply scrolling through Synaptic and bam, all of GDM crashes
[01:36] <user__> i'm in linux live cd though
[01:36] <sauvin> juano__, browse the "cross platform" section of the repos?
[01:37] <phaedra> jordan, Since you used ndiswrapper, check to make sure you used the XP drivers.
[01:37] <Neatchee> this was while using the intel driver
[01:37] <KNYlaptop> user__, getdataback for NTFS
[01:37] <user__> Pelo: i DONT EVEN HAVE GUI RIGHT NOW
[01:37] <KNYlaptop> windows-only afaik
[01:37] <tarsin> is `apt-get install openssh-server` the correct package? apt-get is saying it can't find it or that it is obsolete or something
[01:37] <Neatchee> and after these crashes, GDM cannot be restarted
[01:37] <sauvin> ma1, what are you trying to force install?
[01:37] <juano__> sauvin: ah, found somethin, it seems vgz is an archive format type, inside there are vgm files
[01:37] <user__> KNYlaptop: WHERE CAN I GET THAT FROM
[01:37] <user__> whopps caps...
[01:37] <SpirosG4> .server darkness.irc.gr
[01:37] <KNYlaptop> google :)
[01:37] <juano__> sauvin: cross platform ?
[01:37] <user__> k
[01:37] <phaedra> jordan, Otherwise, it may just be incompatible at the moment.
[01:37] <Pelo> Neatchee, try this,   open a terminal  type gnome-panel or start , when it crashes see if any msg are listed in the terminal or check the logs in /var/logs , not sure which log it would be however
[01:38] <sauvin> juano__, I sorta suspected as much. Next question: what the FLOCK is a vgm file?
[01:38] <KNYlaptop> tarsin, for setting up SSH? sudo apt-get install ssh
[01:38] <SpeakerMania> What is the command to find new hardware? I added a soundcard.
[01:38] <juano__> sauvin: some sort of audio extension
[01:38] <Pelo> tarsin,  try from synaptic or  sudo apt-cache search openssh
[01:38] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: it should be detected by the kernel at boot and the modules should automatically load
[01:38] <tarsin> KNYlaptop, sshd not ssh

[01:39] <tarsin> is there an apt-cache update-cache?
[01:39] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: use lsmod to see if the modules loaded
[01:39] <Pelo> sauvin, google
[01:39] <tarsin> to pull all the latests package headers
[01:39] <sauvin> Trying that, getting lots of noise.
[01:39] <Pelo> tarsin, sudo apt-get update
[01:39] <sethk> user__, if you know the starting and ending cylinder numbers, all you have to do is recreate the partition with fdisk
[01:39] <winchesterPAT> xcopy /E /C /Y
[01:39] <sethk> user__, when you create a partition, nothing is written to the partition itself, only to the MBR
[01:40] <sethk> user__, if you don't know the start/end, it can be done, but it's more complicated since you have to determine the boundaries
[01:41] <winchesterPAT> xcopy c:\  /E /C /Y  "newdrive"  wil get everthing thats read
[01:41] <user__> KNYlaptop: do you know if getdataback in a win32 thing?
[01:41] <winchesterPAT> xcopy c:\  /E /C /Y  "newdrive"  wil get everthing thats readable
[01:41] <KNYlaptop> user__, yeah, it is
[01:42] <threeseas> geee, setting up a localhost LAMP system on a desktop seemed easy enough until I tried to run phpmyadmin - luckily I didn't try anythings I was finding on the web search until I found this simple edit #3 http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[01:42] <user__> sethk: winchesterPAT i am in linux using a console irc, and i am trying to recover an ntfs, i will go experiment
[01:42] <aTypical> HI, all.  What's the easiest way to install Sun's SDK?
[01:42] <inspired> I have a problem with firefox, the terminal is starting everytime i click on the shortcut
[01:42] <winchesterPAT> use wine
[01:42] <sethk> user__, I thought you said NFS, but it doesn't change my answer
[01:42] <kitche> aTypical: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or something close to that
[01:42] <tarsin> ok. apt-get update appears to be using the install CD as its source.. how do i change this to use whatever the internet repository is?
[01:42] <user__> haha, k
[01:42] <jordan> I followed along the wifidocs and it ended up not seeing my card with the sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:42] <Pelo> aTypical, check in synaptic search for java there should be a sun-java6-sdk in there somewhere
[01:43] <inspired> the shortcut for the terminal just says firefox %u
[01:43] <juano__> sauvin: where is the cross platform repos ?
[01:43] <juano__> !cross-platform
[01:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cross-platform - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:43] <SpeakerMania> c_ozzie, It looks like a lot of sound modules are loaded, but the sound doesn't work
[01:43] <juano__> !crossplatform
[01:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crossplatform - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:43] <sauvin> juano__, do you know about synatpic?
[01:43] <sauvin> synaptic?
[01:43] <Neatchee> Pelo: GDM is currently crashed (immediately on login) and any command I try to pass to gnome-panel from terminal results in a segfault
[01:43] <juano__> sauvin: sure
[01:43] <Pelo> inspired,  which short cut  ? the one in the pannel or in the menu ?
[01:43] <sauvin> You'll notice it's divided up into sections.
[01:43] <Neatchee> Pelo: would you like to see a backtrace if i can get it to you?
[01:43] <Atomic_UE> I have a problem with something wiping out and leaving an empty /etc/resolv.conf . i've tried the solutions listed on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-307758.html but none seem to be effective. Even after making /etc/resolv.conf read only, this stops it from being wiped out, but after a few days/a week the server still fails to resolve domain names, even with the nameserver still listed in /etc/resolv.conf . Does anyon
[01:43] <Atomic_UE> e have any other ideas I could try?
[01:43] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: do you know what chipset the sound card has?
[01:43] <juano__> sauvin: ahh ok got it
[01:44] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: i need help setting up port forwarding, can you help me?
[01:44] <MasterShrek> Neatchee, do you get to your login screen though? its just after you log in that it crashes?
[01:44] <Wisteso> anyone know why a failed de-hibernation might cause locking when booting from the hard drive AND live cd?
[01:44] <pjeide> FloodBot1, 2 and 4..?
[01:44] <Neatchee> yes i can get to the login screen
[01:44] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, portforward.com
[01:44] <Neatchee> (though currently it's set to just bypass the login screen)
[01:44] <Pelo> Neatchee,  you are out of my feild of expertise at this point , I'm jsut a regualr home user , I usualy give ppl the standard troubleshooting stuff and a few brew of my own making,  this is way over my head now , maybe in ##linux or in #gnome
[01:44] <desertc> SpeakerMania: seems like you are always here asking about sound problems.  thought you would be an expert by now.  did you check if ALSA had the channels muted?
[01:44] <user__> sethk: can you man fdisk and tell me the command i will need to run to recover the entire /dev/hdb1 (what was hdb1 at least...)
[01:44] <MasterShrek> Neatchee, try creating another user and logging in with that user
[01:45] <SpeakerMania> c_ozzie, It is a desertc, Why woudl you think I'd eb an expert?
[01:45] <user__> my man pages aren't working right
[01:45] <Neatchee> MasterShrek: it's user independent.  This is the third install on which these symptoms have been appearing -__
[01:45] <SpeakerMania> whoops
[01:45] <sethk> user__, you just use c (for create).  fdisk has help and menus
[01:45] <MasterShrek> oh...eww
[01:45] <user__> k
[01:45] <sethk> user__, it will prompt you for partition number, primary or secondary (say primary), starting cyl, and ending cyl.
[01:45] <SpeakerMania> c_ozzie, desertc: It seems the port for sound out with  the built in amp doesn't work. The normal port works fine.
[01:45] <Wisteso> anyone know why a failed restore from hibernation might cause locking when booting from the hard drive OR live cd afterwards?
[01:45] <sethk> user__, with fdisk, you use a separate command to set the partition type (l, I believe, but the help will tell you)
[01:46] <sethk> user__, so, create the partition, then change it's type to NTFS
[01:46] <sethk> user__, it has a command to list the hex codes for partition types
[01:46] <inspired> Pelo: the one in the panel
[01:46]  * pjeide pokers Bhaal
[01:46] <Pelo> inspired, does the one in the menu work properly ?
[01:46] <inspired> yes
[01:46] <inspired> so far
[01:46] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: Open up the sound controls, go to the switches tab, and see if there's a clicky for "External Amplifier"
[01:47] <inspired> and the terminal is not loged in
[01:47] <inspired> it just opens
[01:47] <sethk> user__, you start fdisk with the command:     fdisk /dev/sdb
[01:47] <sethk> user__, sorry, /dev/hdb
[01:47] <zloog420> How can I tell what alsa I have installed?
[01:47] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: if not, it's probably a limitation of open-source drivers on an undocumented or closed document chipset
[01:47] <sethk> user__, since you are recreating hdb1, you point fdisk at /dev/hdb
[01:47] <zloog420> alsa version #
[01:47] <Pelo> inspired, try this,  remove the link in the pannel,  goto the link in the menu , right click , add to pannel
[01:47] <user__> k
[01:47] <user__> lemme go try
[01:48] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: the instructons are for wondows xp, we want to use scp to copy files between our computers ( afriend and i) and we were told it is a port forwarding problem
[01:48] <ma1> how do i stop the force install not to remove any other packages ?
[01:48] <SpeakerMania> c_ozzie, lol where are the sound controls? Preferences >> Sounds doesn't have a switches tab
[01:48] <bruenig> SpeakerMania, just use alsamixer
[01:48] <Pelo> zloog420,  type alsamixer in the terminal, if alsamixer starts alsa is installed ( I'm pretty sure anyway)
[01:48] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, router config is almost always done via browsers (platform independent)
[01:48] <user__> sethk: error, can't have a partition outside the disk
[01:48] <c_ozzie> SpeakerMania: Are you in gnome or kde?
[01:48] <PriceChild> KNYlaptop, telnet
[01:48] <desertc> SpeakerMania: Use Perferences menu to expand the view
[01:48] <pjeide> Pelo, He wants to know what version
[01:48] <KNYlaptop> PriceChild, still independent :)
[01:48] <SpeakerMania> c_ozzie, Gnome
[01:48] <Pelo> ma1, which package are we talking about here ?
[01:49] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, what router model?
[01:49] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: but it says there we need a static ip adress. Wouldnt the ip adress we have now, dynamic, work if the modem is not chut down?
[01:49] <sethk> user__, is hdb1 the entire disk space?
[01:49] <desertc> SpeakerMania: I mean -- Volume Settings -> Preferences
[01:49] <Pelo> pjeide, man alsa there is probably an option to display it
[01:49] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v5
[01:49] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, yeah, dynamic IP should work fine
[01:49] <pjeide> zloog420, man alsa, there is probably an option to display it
[01:49] <user__> sethk: nope, it was 30 gb with the rest of the drive not partitioned
[01:49] <ma1> pelo:i have movie player i force install movie player totem, and it still removed movie player
[01:49] <pjeide> zloog420, or, you coulod try "locate alsa | grep generic"
[01:49] <user__> sethk: it was however at the beginning
[01:50] <sethk> user__, usually that error means that you entered a start number <1 or an end number > total number of cyls.
[01:50] <Pelo> ma1,  the are you talking about mplayer-mozilla and totem-mozilla ?
[01:50] <sethk> user__, what did you use for start and end?
[01:50] <pjeide> zloog420, actually that second command will not help at all
[01:50] <ma1> pelo:no
[01:50] <zloog420> ya that just gives me
[01:50] <user__> sethk: fdisk /dev/hdb
[01:50] <SpeakerMania> desertc, what are you talking about?
[01:50] <zloog420> knernel heder info
[01:50] <pjeide> zloog420, #alsa
[01:50] <Pelo> ma1, the exact package names please
[01:50] <zloog420> and there is no man page for alsa
[01:50] <zloog420> cool
[01:51] <sethk> user__, you didn't get the prompt, you just got that error?
[01:51] <ma1> movie player totem
[01:51] <Pelo> zloog420, use synaptic and search for alsa
[01:51] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: what does the server ip adress have to be?
[01:51] <user__> sethk: yeah, just that error
[01:51] <Pelo> ma1,  the exact pacakge name,  there is not package called movie player totem
[01:51] <dsl1139> exit
[01:51] <desertc> Just a thought for you all struggling with hardware ....  For $200 you can buy a desktop with Linux pre-installed, 1 year hardware warranty, and 24/7 telephone technical support.
[01:51] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, your computer's ip
[01:51] <KNYlaptop> ifconfig
[01:51] <sethk> user__, do:   ls -l /dev/hdb
[01:51] <sethk> user__, make sure it exists.
[01:51] <Pelo> desertc, walmart is sold out
[01:52] <sethk> user__, I think you are root, if not, you'll need sudo, but I think you booted the live cd and are root
[01:52] <desertc> Pelo: You can place orders online for pickup.
[01:52] <user__> sethk: i've done ls /dev | grep hd and found it
[01:52] <user__> i am root
[01:52] <sethk> user__, so you do see /dev/hdb?
[01:52] <ma1> totem gstreamer
[01:52] <user__> yes
[01:52]  * Pelo wishes it was availble in canada , his aunt would use it 
[01:52] <user__> i know it is there
[01:52] <desertc> Pelo: You can also customize them at other sites for more memory and Ubuntu-prelead.
[01:52] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, get your IP from `ifconfig` and then follow the guide here: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WGR614v5/default.htm
[01:52] <Pelo> ma1,  and what's the other one
[01:52] <sethk> user__, try this and see what comes up:      dmesg | grep hdb
[01:52] <desertc> Pelo: http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php
[01:53] <sethk> user__, the drive is IDE primary slave?
[01:53] <user__> sethk: when i was booting i was getting the error,
[01:53] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: thanks
[01:53] <ma1> pelo:totem-xine
[01:53] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, no problem
[01:53] <Pelo> desertc, that,s ok , I'm aware of the general deal of the thing
[01:53] <DM|> Is there a way to have the system start one application as root when you login without having to enter your password again
[01:53] <user__> yeah, during boot i was getting abunch of errors about attempting to access beyond end of device
[01:53] <Pelo> ma1,  you can either get totem-xine or totem-gstreamer , you can't have both, sorry, if you want bot gstreamer and xine, I suggest yo install totem-streamer and the stand alone xine
[01:54] <user__> sethk: yeah, slave
[01:54] <fsilva4> quit
[01:54] <ablyss> DM, add a custom script startup command to /etc/rc.local
[01:54] <sethk> user__, you've confused me.  you get which error when you boot?
[01:54] <ma1> pelo:which one is better
[01:54] <ma1> ?
[01:54] <Neatchee> Pelo: LOL well this is telling
[01:54] <Pelo> ma1, it's a matter of personnal prefs,
[01:55] <Pelo> Neatchee, ?
[01:55] <desertc> Is your time worth so little that you're willing to futz around for days here rather than pay for technical support on hardware built for using Linux?  And with that thought, I depart.  Good night, and quick resolution to your technical issues.
[01:55] <Neatchee> just rebooted to a SLEW of segfaults
[01:55] <sethk> user__, try this:    ls /sys/block, tell me if hdb is in the list.
[01:55] <Neatchee> which set off the little red "you have bad memory" lights in my brain
[01:55] <Pelo> Neatchee,  you must feel so special
[01:55] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: is the page you linked me to updated?
[01:55] <Pelo> Neatchee, alzeimer happens to the best of us ;-)
[01:55] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, I haven't the foggiest idea :)
[01:55] <user__> hdb: rw=0, want=631515 limit=2737...
[01:55] <Neatchee> Pelo: i was referring to my RAM -_-
[01:55] <user__> yes, its in /sys/block
[01:55] <Neatchee> but thanks :D
[01:55] <Pelo> Neatchee, boot and run the memcheck
[01:57] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: ok what should i type, it says the service name should be SSH1, the service type TCP/UDP start/end ports 22 is that correct?
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Does wine automatically get internet access for all apps run under/with it?  How Terrible is that
[01:57] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, yeah

[01:57] <zloog420> Jack_Sparrow ya, pretty much

[02:01] <Templer> hi there anyone know if you can run xp / vista / linux using a virtual kernel thingy on mac osx
[02:01] <dib> but I know from now that restricted won't work
[02:01] <inspired> what is a good mp3 file sharer?
[02:01] <Pelo> dib,  when x doesn't load , boot the recovery mode and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , use the vesa driver , that will get you the gui back at least so you can work on th problem some more

[02:04] <Dr_5> hi!...can anyone help with hard disk problem???
[02:04] <user__> sethk: i know it is there, just it gives me grevious errors
[02:04] <sethk> ma1, install even if the dependencies say it's already installed, or even if a dependency is missing
[02:04] <Pelo> excoder, which videocard do you have ? ati and nivida dont work with the live cd you'll need to use the alternate isntall cd
[02:04] <kitche> excoder: that'st not really an error just make it so dri doesn't load in your xorg.conf
[02:04] <Pelo> Dr_5,  we need more details
[02:04] <sethk> user__, I don't doubt that it's there, I'm checking whether the o/s _knows_ that it's there.
[02:05] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: me again. When i ssh into his computer i get this http://pastebin.com/d428868b1
[02:05] <user__> sethk: ok. well, i know that the OS knows that it is there too...

[02:05] <sethk> user__, what happens if you do this:     fdisk -l /dev/hdb
[02:05] <linux88> ow do i configure the eth0 interface and wlan0 interface so i can masquerade?
[02:05] <Dr_5> my hard disk turn's off with no warning or command

[02:05] <ubotu> ubuntu_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[02:05] <ubuntu_> thanks
[02:05] <sethk> user__, there's no way for me to know what you've already tried, so no doubt some of my suggestions you already thought of and tried
[02:05] <user__> sethk: already tried it. gave me same error, cant have a partition outside the device
[02:05] <Dr_5> i think it's power saving problem
[02:05] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, that's a problem on his end
[02:06] <Pelo> Dr_5, check the power saving features
[02:06] <Dr_5> how?
[02:06] <sethk> user__,    and you did:       fdisk /dev/hdb             not        fdisk /dev/hdb1      ?
[02:06] <excoder> kitche, I'm not seeing any "load dri" on my xorg.conf
[02:06] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop:  can it be fixed?
[02:06] <user__> sethk: yeah
[02:06] <Pelo> Dr_5,   menu > system >prefs> power manager or something
[02:06] <ma1> who do i turn on DRI ?
[02:06] <Dankchild> hey guys i just installed steam, and im getting the 26% update error and there is a trobuleshoot for it, i just dont know what directory its in, how can i find it?
[02:06] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, yeah, he needs to open his port
[02:06] <KNYlaptop> or install SSH
[02:06] <sethk> user__, I've never seen that message.  Try cfdisk, see if it complains the same way, and/or sfdisk
[02:06] <Pelo> Dr_5,  jsut a thought , I'M not saying the problem is there
[02:06] <sethk> KNYlaptop, or both
[02:06] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop:  how?
[02:07] <Dr_5> it has an option only to turn off the display
[02:07] <user__> sethk: i will rpolly need to apt-get them first, brb
[02:07] <sethk> user__, k
[02:07] <kitche> ma1: put load "dri" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf where your other modules are
[02:07] <excoder> Pelo, I think my video card is S3 ProSavage
[02:07] <SpeakerMania> http://www.netcomdirect.com/crlactsoblsb.html << My sound card. The line out with the amplifier doesn't work. How do I get it to work?
[02:07] <KNYlaptop> Bruno_, point him to portforward.com
[02:07] <excoder> kitche, I'm not seeing any "load dri" on my xorg.conf how do I disable it?
[02:07] <Bruno_> we already did all that...
[02:07] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: we already did all that
[02:07] <Pelo> excoder,  in anycase the alternate install cd is still your best bet if the live cd is not working properly, it's easier on resources during the isntallation process
[02:08] <Dr_5> does anyone knows a programm to configure hard disk properties?
[02:08] <dib> Pelo, it didn't work
[02:08] <ma1> kitche:i dont understand!
[02:08] <sethk> Dr_5, smartctl let's you configure SMART related ones
[02:08] <Pelo> dib,  did you load the vesa driver ?

[02:19] <Neatchee> Ok, so now that my problems are all squared away:  Can anyone recommend a good guide or package list of "must haves" for a new ubuntu user?  My grandfather is just switching from Mac OS8.6 so I'd like his experience to go as smoothly as possible :)
[02:19] <Luke> I'm unable to update or do anything with apt-get or aptitude because tzdata keeps failing in it's post-install script. anyone know how to get around this?
[02:19] <scguy318> robdig: what do you mean?
[02:19] <scguy318> sethk: first time I got Error 18, I resolved that by putting /boot on its own partition
[02:19] <bruenig> Luke, dpkg -r --force-all it
[02:19] <Pelo> CoasterMaster,  you can convert rpm to deb , I don't know why you can't do theother way around, but it's not the best  get the soruce instead
[02:20] <scguy318> sethk: in Advanced Options i installed GRUB to /dev/sdb, which was where my USB device was located

[02:20] <sethk> scguy318, I think your device.map may be incorrect

[02:21] <ComPro> the keyboard works in windows and it worked during setup
[02:21] <Luke> bruenig: why suggest it then?
[02:21] <scguy318> robdig: not really, USB boot support is from BIOS, GRUB uses BIOS routines to read /boot and such
[02:21] <bruenig> Luke, does it matter
[02:21] <sethk> ComPro, try letting the boot get past that point and then plugging in the keyboard.  Not a solution, but might get us into the machine to look at logs
[02:21] <Luke> bruenig: tzdata has many deps and could break my system to remove all that
[02:21] <brad_> Question: I got my friend an MP3 player as a gift. She has Ubuntu Gutsy. When she copies files to the player, every several songs she copies it gives an error "too many files open" and she has to reboot. The gnome becomes inoperable(buttons are clickable but nothing happens), she has to reboot using the reset switch. I don't want this gift to be useless. Help?

[02:21] <Pelo> d1n0,  try looking up your doogles (orwhatever) in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:21] <ComPro> it works in grub too
[02:21] <bruenig> Luke, well if it tries to remove deps, it will tell you
[02:21] <sethk> ComPro, otherwise boot a live cd and mount the file system so we can look for info in logs.
[02:21] <ComPro> i'm seeing if it'll work in recovery mode
[02:21] <bruenig> Luke, always does,
[02:21] <ComPro> it works in recovery mode
[02:21] <ComPro> just not when loading gdm
[02:21] <robdig> scguy318: thanks for the info...just thinking why it might not work :)
[02:21] <ComPro> it locks

[02:22] <graelin> Is there a standard way to invoke an application minimized? I'd like Pidgin to start up minimized
[02:22] <sethk> ComPro, then we need to check your keyboard specifications in /etc/xorg.conf
[02:22] <d1n0> Pelo, ive tried, even posted
[02:22] <zloog420> There isn't a way to mount a 2nd hard disk "everywhere" is there? I mean such that new files will just go to whichever hard disk has room for them is there?
[02:22] <sethk> scguy318, k
[02:22] <Pelo> brad_,  tell here to unmount the mp3 player before she unplugs it and to empty the trashcan also
[02:22] <Luke> bruenig: ok thanks
[02:22] <sethk> zloog420, you can use LVM, which can map multiple physical partitions into a single logical drive
[02:22] <brad_> Pelo: She does both.

[02:23] <sethk> ComPro, what type of keyboard?  usb?  ps/2?
[02:23] <ComPro> USB
[02:24] <sethk> ComPro, see if there is anything in the bios like "support legacy usb keyboard".  If so, tell me whether it is on or off
[02:24] <ComPro> i know of the option you speak of.
[02:24] <ComPro> it is enabled.
[02:24] <sethk> ComPro, ok
[02:24] <jsonder> ubuntu-arizona
[02:24] <Pelo> brad_,  I don't know that one,  I had problems with my RCA ones that were similar,  I had to relaod the firmware before it would work properly again,  when she loads it up does she do it as a usb flash drive using nautilus or does she use a music app like amarok or rhythmbox ?
[02:24] <Luke> bruenig: removing it works but then as soon as I try to update, it tries to install it again
[02:25] <sethk> ComPro, try booting in recovery mode, and let's see if there is anything useful in the X log file.
[02:25] <WuTangBuntu_> hey I am trying to install MacOnLinux for my gutsy box, and I added tehir repository (as well as universe and multiverse), but when I try to install it I still can't findt he package when I do "apt-get install mol".. help!

[02:28] <thornomad> hi - is there an easy way to make a read-only view of a directory? I mean: I want a mp3 folder that i can add files to and edi (rw), etc ... however, i DON'T want my various audio players (iTunes, slimserver, mediatomb, Play) to have write access to this folder.   So i want to look at those files through a "read-only window" ... so when I point my audio players to the "read-only" view and I can edit the "editable view".  is that
[02:28] <Gnomobile> Pelo, that's when you told me to go to a recovery console and switch it back to VESA.
[02:28] <scguy318> sethk: same
[02:28] <scguy318> sethk: I reattached internal, then booted to external, same Error 2
[02:28] <Pelo> Gnomobile, usualy when this happens you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg load back the vesa driver, get your desktop back and then try with the binairy driver

[02:32] <thornomad> sauvin - i mean the files are on a ubuntu server ... i mount them via netatalk (afp) ... i didn't know if i could create like a hard-link to a directory and make the hard link read-only and then the "real" directory rw ... maybe it's not possible ... when i mount the file-system i only have one user/group ... so it will either be read or read/write ... i don't know ... maybe i'm dreaming
[02:32] <Pelo> Gnomobile,  so you didn't try the restricted driver first ? ok lets try that , menu > system< admin > restricted driver
[02:32] <scguy318> mojo: this is the right place
[02:32] <scguy318> mojo: what's the specific issue?
[02:33] <Pelo> Gnomobile, nvm , Ilost track of where wer were
[02:33] <mojo> scguy318, thx
[02:33]  * Pelo is done for the night , g'night folks 
[02:33] <scguy318> Pelo: have a good night
[02:33] <Bruno_> KNYlaptop: yes
[02:33] <Chewy954> Does anyone know how to get the card reader in a Acer Aspire 5100 to work? It detects DS/MMC cards but no Pro Duos :(
[02:33] <sauvin> I don't know anything about netatalk so I'll shut up now.
[02:33] <sethk> scguy318, I'm thinking that the BIOS is making the USB drive look like IDE for boot purposes, but grub is looking for SCSI, not IDE, emulation
[02:33] <sethk> scguy318, Can you put grub on the internal MBR and set it to dual boot internal (for whatever is already there) and external (for linux)?
[02:34] <thornomad> sauvin.  smile.  ok ... i was reading around and it doesn't sound like i can make a hard link ... which is sort of what i wanted to try.  i might just swap permissions once i have the media all set.  i don't know.  i'll keep playing with it
[02:34] <Gnomobile> Pelo, the restricted driver isn't the binary? the instructions you gave me for 7.10 tell me to go to the restricted drivers under System > Admin and click on the ATI accelerated graphics driver
[02:34] <sethk> scguy318, if there is a tricky solution for this situation it's not one I've run across.
[02:34] <Bruno_> is there a way to not have frostwire eat my computer?
[02:34] <scguy318> sethk: sure I'll try that, any specific instructions?
[02:34] <mojo> I have tried mythbuntu and ubuntu live cd's (gutsy) on this compaq and cant get either to boot...  two problems.  One is that it fails on the realtek NIC and the other is an ata:somethingorother error being logged.  Is there a way to get it to boot w/o loading the modules, or am i looking at making a custom livecd image (and for that a howto would be sublime)
[02:34] <Gnomobile> Pelo, that's exactly what I first did, that's all I've done aside from your recovery thing.
[02:34] <scguy318> sethk: I admit I'm not too well-versed in GRUB
[02:34] <FireAllianceNX> Gnomobile: Pelo went to bed.
[02:35] <sethk> scguy318, What's on the internal?  Windows?
[02:35] <matttis> Does someone know what I have to do after installing the .deb-Package for my Brother printer ? Where do I have to update my system settings that the programs can print with my printer ?
[02:35] <WuTangBuntu_> mol-modules-source build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[02:35] <santa_> my computer constantly locks up quite a bit with nothing that i can correlate it to. How do i determine why this is occurring? even when im not here, because i use this box as a server most of the time, it locks up. one time it locked up i could still move my mouse and see the cursor move on the screen, but that was it. could not ctrl+alt+F#
[02:35] <scguy318> sethk: yep
[02:35] <robdig> mojo: could try the alternative install, it doesn't take as much resources
[02:35] <mojo> santa_, start with memtest86, and maybe checking the voltages on your psu?  those are common culprits for mysterious lockups
[02:36] <Bruno_> is there a way to not have frostwire eat my computer?
[02:36] <sethk> santa_, That sounds like a hardware issue, possibly intermittent memory problems.  You can check the logs (/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog), but the odds are they won't show anything.
[02:36] <whiteboy> Hey ya'll I'm new to Liux and I would like to know why Lux is better than windows
[02:36] <Radi01> Freedom.
[02:37] <sethk> scguy318, The entries you need to add to menu.lst to let it boot windows are shown on the grub site.  It's only a few lines.  I don't have it in front of me.
[02:37] <LjL> whiteboy: nobody said it was, i think. anyway, this is a support channel, please ask that sort of questions in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:37] <santa_> my pcu is a brand new 600w name brand psu, my temperatures are all good, running cool even.
[02:37] <Bruno_> is there a way to not have frostwire eat my computer?
[02:37] <Frogzoo> whiteboy: depends what you want to do really
[02:37] <usr13> First, whiteboy, you need to learn to spell it :)
[02:37] <scguy318> sethk: I think the menu.lst comments have it actually ;)
[02:37] <sethk> scguy318, if you do an ubuntu install, though, it should create the dual boot configuration for you.
[02:37] <mojo> santa_, another thing:  when it seems "locked up", can you get it to respond to the magic key sequence ALT-SYSRQ-R A/S-E A/S-I A/S-S A/S-U A/S-B  (the S syncs the drives, the U unmouts all volumes, the B reboots the box)
[02:37] <scguy318> sethk: ok I'll just reinstall again
[02:37] <sethk> scguy318, probably; but I never trust the comments.  :)
[02:38] <whiteboy> ok
[02:38] <mojo> santa_, (I forget what the R and I do but it has to do with stopping processes)
[02:38] <usr13> whiteboy: after that, I'd say, just stick around and see for your self.
[02:38] <santa_> is that a joke?
[02:38] <Frogzoo> Bruno_: use sun's jre
[02:38] <whiteboy> I a county boy I don't have much learning
[02:38] <usr13> whiteboy: For some, it's better. For others, only different.
[02:38] <sethk> whiteboy, my first day in engineering school, I was taught that if I ever said "better" without any context I was making myself look like an idiot.
[02:38] <tntCry> guys were can i download ssh server and ssh client i only can find putty in add remove
[02:38] <scguy318> sethk: I appreciate your help, I'm rebooting my other machine for install
[02:38] <mojo> santa_, i have seen brand new PSUs have bad/fluctuating voltages... it is within the realm of possibility
[02:38] <sethk> scguy318, good luck.
[02:38] <scguy318> tntCry: openssh-server
[02:38] <Radi01> When I came to linux/My micro$oft went straight to the garbage can.
[02:38] <Bruno_> Frogzoo: where do i get it?
[02:38] <sethk> whiteboy, the point is, better for whom?  to do what?
[02:38] <scguy318> tntCry: I think it's sshd
[02:38] <mojo> santa_, but bad memory is also a common cause
[02:38] <degreseven> where do you change the number of workspaces?
[02:38] <Frogzoo> Bruno_: it's in the repos
[02:39] <santa_> yeah, i do have jank memory in here, used aswell.
[02:39] <matttis> Does someone know what I have to do after installing the .deb-Package for my Brother printer ? Where do I have to update my system settings that the programs can print with my printer ?
[02:39] <santa_> what do i do to see voltages?
[02:39] <Bruno_> Frogzoo: what the package name?
[02:39] <tntCry> scguy318, im going to uni now to test it
[02:39] <mojo> degreseven, right-click on the workspace switcher and go to preferences
[02:39] <tntCry> scguy318, you think i could set it up in less then 40 min?
[02:39] <santa_> i can see them in the bios right?
[02:39] <hana> hello
[02:39] <sethk> matttis, use one of the print configuration dialogs.  gnome has one, kde has one, and CUPS has one built in accessible from a web browser
[02:39] <degreseven> mojo the only options are for number of columns and rows
[02:40] <usr13> whiteboy: Well, we are not idiots, and we are not ignorant, we only have different levels of knowledge.  Here, the goal is to share the knowledge so as to bring us all up to a higher level of knowledge.
[02:40] <degreseven> mojo I thought that was where it was too, but there is no option for it
[02:40] <hana> i have a bit of a problem with ubuntu on one of my pcs.  can anyone point me to a fix for cups causing the boot process to stall?
[02:40] <scguy318> tntCry: yes
[02:40] <scguy318> tntCry: basically just install sshd, then cer
[02:40] <usr13> whiteboy: Ask specific questions and ones that have specific answers will help you by sharing their knowledge with you.
[02:40] <mojo> santa_, well, sometimes you have a hardware monitor in your BIOS screen you can gawk at for a minute.  the other way is to get a multimeter and test the voltages, usually off a molex power connector.  you can search the web easily for the pinouts to see which are the ground, 5v, and 12v, if i recall the voltages properly.
[02:40] <sethk> whiteboy, Best way to learn is install it.  play with it.  try things.  get some context, then you can think about which might be better for you.
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: well, install openssh-server package
[02:41] <tntCry> cer? scguy318
[02:41] <hana> seems to hang on "Starting Common Unit Printing System: cupsd
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: typo
[02:41] <santa_> what command is it to run memtest? t says i have it installed already
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: then edit your sshd configuration
[02:41] <tntCry> scguy318, im in synaptic now
[02:41] <tarsin> usr13, are you a fortune cookie?
[02:41] <scguy318> santa_: you reboot to GRUB menu, and select memtest
[02:41] <santa_> ah, ok
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: openssh-server package
[02:41] <tntCry> scguy318, or can i downlaod from terminal ? is it install ssh-server?
[02:41] <Bruno_> Frogzoo: i have sun-java5-jre
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: either-or
[02:41] <usr13> santa_: Use the boot disk and run memtest instead of the install program.
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: you can use Synaptic to install openssh-server
[02:41] <mojo> santa_, boot the ubuntu as a livecd and one of the options in the GRUB boot loader is to run memtest86 ad infinitum.  id run it for a few hours or overnight to be sure.
[02:41] <santa_> what am i looking for int he way of voltages? fluctuations? under power? over power? all of the above? what defines a voltage fluctuation?
[02:41] <scguy318> tntCry: or do sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[02:41] <tntCry> k
[02:42] <tntCry> synaptic is froozen lo
[02:42] <tntCry> laged
[02:42] <usr13> santa_: Sounds like you need a power supply tester.
[02:42] <andr3www> Hi
[02:42] <mojo> santa_, and i think it may be an option on the installed ubuntu grub menu, iirc
[02:42] <andr3www> I have a really wierd question, I'm not sure where to ask for help but I'll give it a shot here
[02:42] <sethk> santa_, an oscilloscope is the best way to find those things.
[02:43] <andr3www> I get a question mark for a character and I'm trying to figure out what that character is:
[02:43] <andr3www>  cat /home/andrew/.azap/channels.conf
[02:43] <andr3www> WUTV-HD�:473028615:8VSB:49:52:3
[02:43] <sethk> santa_, digital circuits are tolerant.  In fact, that's a big reason for their superior reliability compared to analog circuits.
[02:43] <santa_> yeah, lemmie just go right out and buy a $2000 oscilloscope to test a $120 psu.
[02:43] <usr13> santa_: Or replace your low quality / questionable or possibly faulty power supply with a high quality good one.
[02:43] <sethk> santa_, hey, you asked.  :)
[02:43] <sethk> santa_, besides you can rent one
[02:43] <mojo> sethk, methinks santa_ doesn't usually dabble in electronics hardware.  if he knew how to use an ocilloscope he probably wouldn't have to ask how to test.
[02:43] <sethk> santa_, besides, it's useless for memory testing anyway.  :)
[02:43] <Radi01> Santa: What is the problem?/
[02:44] <sethk> santa_, an effective memory testing costs about $15,000.
[02:44] <hana> Just in case I got lost -- i have a bit of a problem with ubuntu on one of my pcs.  can anyone point me to a fix for cups causing the boot process to stall?
[02:44] <usr13> santa_: I saw a power supply tester for about $20 on tigerdirect.
[02:44] <Radi01> I am a electronics tech.
[02:44] <Gnomobile> "sudo aticonfig --initial" returns "Warning: Could not find configuration file" "Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11"
[02:44] <tntCry> scguy318, i can see that ssh client is installed actually indefault right?
[02:44] <scguy318> tntCry: yes
[02:45] <mojo> Radi01, santa_'s computer locks up intermitently
[02:45] <usr13> santa_: But, if you just buy a high quality power supply and replace your questionable one, well, that'll probably accomplish your goal.
[02:45] <ketrox> Gnomobile, create the file first
[02:45] <santa_> i have a high quality psu so stop your squaking
[02:45] <usr13> hana: Are you sure cups is causing the boot process to stall?
[02:46] <usr13> hana: May be that there is another cause of the boot failure.
[02:46] <sethk> tntCry, by default, I think you mean.
[02:46] <Radi01> Interesting/that could be caused via anything/usually switching supplies work or dont/no middle of read.
[02:46] <tntCry> scguy318, ive searched in prefrences and administration i cant see the ssh client ? is it a command promt?
[02:46] <santa_> usr. damn your quick.
[02:46] <Radi01> road
[02:46] <Gnomobile> ketrox, just create a blank file named xorg.conf?
[02:46] <sethk> santa_, you're, not your
[02:46] <hana> well I disabled the splash and saw that the process hangs on the cups system.  any thoughts would be appreciated though
[02:46] <ketrox> give it a try Gnomobile
[02:47] <santa_> well, both of you are jerkoffs and are on ignore, enjoy yourselves.
[02:47] <usr13> hana: But if you are convinced that it is cups, you could use a boot disk and dissable cups
[02:47] <sethk> hana, try a recovery boot.  It's unlikely that cups is hanging things; I'm not saying that you don't see that message, I'm saying that whatever fails probably follows cups and dies before printing a message.
[02:47] <hana> is there a boot extension I can use to disable cups?
[02:47] <andr3www> no one knows my problem?
[02:47] <hana> recovery boot works fine by the way
[02:48] <tntCry> scguy318, can you tell me if i can run the app to configure it ? or.. :(
[02:48] <sethk> andr3www, if it's in a terminal, usually that's a delete key
[02:48] <andr3www> Is there a way to view special characters?
[02:48] <hana> I just dont know what else to try.
[02:48] <andr3www> At one time it didn't display that, it displayed more like a : but instead of dots there were bars
[02:48] <mojo> andr3www, try looking at the file with a hex editor and getting the actual numerical value for that character.
[02:48] <Radi01> santa needs a spanking.
[02:48] <sethk> andr3www, yes, but to know what to tell you I need to know exactly what you are doing
[02:49] <sethk> andr3www, that sounds like some language setting mismatch.
[02:49] <sethk> andr3www, you are getting graphics characters displayed, but it should be text.
[02:49] <sethk> andr3www, but tell us more specifically what you are doing.
[02:49] <yuaoki> What's a good alternative Ubuntu for file server and Jabber server
[02:49] <andr3www> I'm trying to watch HDTV through Mplayer
[02:49] <mzanfardino> what controls the speed of the wireless connection?  That is, I have an 802.11g wifi nic and yet I connect to my 802.11g router at only 24mbps instead of 54.  No matter how close I am or how strong the signal when I connect it remains at 24mbps.  Is there a setting that might be throttling my connection speed?
[02:50] <andr3www> I copy and paste the station number to watch that channel, but since Mplayer won't recognize that character it won't work
[02:50] <scguy318> mzanfardino: Broadcom?
[02:50] <usr13> hana: You can use a boot disk and dissable cups:  chmod -x /mount/hda1/etc/init.d/cupsys
[02:50] <mojo> andr3www, use the command line command "hd" to get a hex dump with the text shown on the right to help you locate your character
[02:50] <usr13> hana: where /mount/hda1  is where ever the mount point ends up to be.
[02:50] <mojo> andatche, hd /home/andrew/.azap/channels.conf | more
[02:50] <Gnomobile> now it returns "Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11"
[02:51] <hana> I've actually tried that and it seems to boot to the same point.  does anyone know what service starts right after cups
[02:51] <usr13> hana: But sethk is right in saying that it is probably something else that is causing the stall.
[02:51] <andr3www> 00000000  57 55 54 56 2d 48 44 b7  3a 34 37 33 30 32 38 36  |WUTV-HD.:4730286|
[02:51] <mzanfardino> scguy318: belkin chipset with zd1211 firmware
[02:51] <ma1> does linux have a package that would give world map or maps of direction ?
[02:51] <andr3www> oh cripes is it blank?
[02:51] <mattgyver83> Hey room, i just recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 and for some reason it is slower to load on my laptop, is this normal?
[02:51] <mzanfardino> note: iwlist scan reports my router as availble upto 54mpbs
[02:51] <hana> i dont doubt it its just the only thing I had to go on at the time
[02:51] <usr13> hana: Cups is the last successful task that is accomplished, the next one is more than likely the culprit.
[02:52] <mojo> andatche, the hex values will be shown on the left for each character on the right.  you can use the calculator built in (applications>accesories>calculator) and change the view to Scientific (view menu).
[02:52] <mzanfardino> ma1: are you looking to render your own maps?
[02:52] <dfcarney> hana: look in /etc/rcX.d to see the boot order of things (where X is your runlevel)
[02:52] <Ryan_was_here> Whats up everybody!
[02:52] <scguy318> mzanfardino: you could try ndiswrapper
[02:52] <mojo> andr3www, put it in hex mode, type in the hex value, then put it in decimal mode to see the decimal value of that hex code.  then you can look up that hex code on an ASCII chart found by searching the web.
[02:52] <scguy318> mzanfardino: might be able to achieve the max speed
[02:53] <hana> sorry to sound dumb, but how do I know what my run level is
[02:53] <ketrox> Gnomobile, reverse to the mesa driver then ati sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> how can i increase the desktop area / have it pan sideways?
[02:53] <dfcarney> hana: type "runlevel" on the command line.  it's probably 2
[02:53] <Ryan_was_here> Hey anyone got any tips on speading XGL up over here? boot time is not so fast :P
[02:53] <mojo> andatche, i am not sure if hd is installed by default, but it probably is.  if not, likely a 'sudo aptitude --install hd' will get the program for you.
[02:53] <hana> thank you
[02:53] <tntCry> scguy318, im in /etc/ssh/ssh_config thats for client i need to start the server isnt it a simple eye use app or a terminal work on hand :S
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: server should already be up
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[02:54] <mzanfardino> scguy318: ok, I suppose I could.  Honestly, I bought this specific NIC (belkin me1001-usb) because it has "fully supported" open source drivers... and it is supported out of the box: I didn't have to do anything to get it to work except plug it in...
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: if thats not already the case
[02:54] <mojo> andr3www, sorry, just saw your other messages.  it is a B6 or in decimal 182
[02:54] <ma1> mzanfardino:am looking for a package that would give me direction of maps
[02:54] <scguy318> mzanfardino: yeah wireless is a slight pain on Linux
[02:54] <Ryan_was_here> wireless?
[02:54] <Ryan_was_here> May I be of assistence?
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> assistance*
[02:55] <scguy318> sure, mzanfardino needs it
[02:55] <abhi> hi there
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> whats his problem?
[02:55] <mojo> andr3www, OOPS my mistake!  it is a B7 or in decimal 183
[02:55] <scguy318> Ryan_was_here: not achieving maximum 54 Mbps on his wireless device
[02:55] <tntCry> scguy318, and if i want to restart server i rename start with restart?
[02:55] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: issue with usb wifi not achieving max throughput
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> well that is poop right there.
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> what is his internet speed?
[02:55] <tntCry> cool it did
[02:55] <usr13> hana: I just looked at dmesg and it appears that apm comes after cups  (Advanced Power Management subsystem).
[02:55] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> type iwpriv and see if any of those options you can enable to boost the rate
[02:55] <usr13> hana: But that's just on my system.
[02:55] <scguy318> tntCry: yes
[02:56] <mzanfardino> scguy318: I was thinking you might want to render your own maps, in which case I'd have recommended mapserver, but if you are looking for already rendered maps you are better off with maps.google.com and the like
[02:56] <usr13> hana: And apm can be dissabled at boot time,  (I think)
[02:56] <tntCry> scguy318, my server is up :D but now its like a lost server in the pacific ocean , what must i do :s
[02:56] <matttis> Does anyone have experience with installing brother printer drivers ?
[02:56] <scguy318> mzanfardino: wrong addressee :)
[02:56] <mzanfardino> scguy318: bah, sorry, meant for ma1
[02:56] <scguy318> tntCry: connect to it with your SSH client
[02:56] <arnutis> j ubuntu
[02:57] <mzanfardino> ma1: see comments I made to scguy318
[02:57] <Gnomobile> when I run "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" I'm getting the error "Aborted (core dumped)" anyone know why?
[02:57] <abhi> this is great... had no idea so many ubuntu users use irc
[02:57] <hana> I will give that a try thank you.  I will let you guys know if it doesnt work.  thank you again.
[02:57] <tntCry> i want to configure the server file to have port on 8080 because of the blocked ports in the uni , i need to fix user name ect..
[02:57] <txoof> I want to install X, but I don't want the nonsense X based login stuff.  What can I do to prevent that from installing?
[02:57] <ComPro> ATI sucks. but no, really, I had that problem too, Gnomobile, and I ultimately went and bought a new video card because my ATI card was causing me nothing but problems in Windows and Linux.
[02:57] <Ryan_was_here> port 8080 is used by ice cast.
[02:57] <mojo> andr3www, look at http://www.asciitable.com/  and you'll see that it's an "extended ASCII" character, like the IBM graphical characters used to draw borders and such on text-mode programs on a PC.
[02:57] <arnutis> hi who can help me with update the new version of ubuntu?
[02:57] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: http://rafb.net/p/posTPK47.html
[02:58] <andr3www> ya I found it
[02:58] <andr3www> now how do I type that into the console
[02:58] <Ryan_was_here> hmm.
[02:58] <usr13> arnutis: Your system should just offer to do it for you, if you've updated the previous version.
[02:58] <mojo> andr3www, since those characters only tend to work properly on monospaced fonts intended for a terminal, many fonts don't have a rendering for that ASCII value.
[02:58] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino: eth0? I thought you were using wireless
[02:59] <Ryan_was_here> eth2*
[02:59] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: I'm getting 24mbps solid, but I can't seem to get any faster... and my router supports it
[02:59] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: eth2 is my wireless
[02:59] <usr13> Ryan_was_here: eth0 could very well be the wireless NIC.
[02:59] <txoof> What is the X based login prompt?
[02:59] <andr3www> I have to type in that channel name
[02:59] <mojo> andr3www, look at it with some other monospaced fonts, especially ones inteded for a console/terminal, and you may see it.  Otherwise you'll get a placeholder character like your question mark inverted
[02:59] <Ryan_was_here> Why the odd naming?
[02:59] <andr3www> ok thanks
[02:59] <tntCry> i have 20 minutes scguy318
[03:00] <arnutis> usr13 i had updated but then i start the ubuntu 7.10 system update the error comes on
[03:00] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: eth0 is wired, eth1 is on-board (disabled as it's using ipw2100 which has known firmware issues) and eth2 is ME1001-USB (belkin with zd1211 firmware)
[03:00] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> type iwpriv and see if any of those options you can enable to boost the rate
[03:00] <Ryan_was_here> disable your eth1 if your not using it.
[03:00] <mojo> andr3www, well, i don't know if it works under Linux (haven't tried), but on many PC's if you hold down the ALT key and enter a three-digit ascii value on the number pad, it will render the character.  I used to do that a lot for the accent-grave on the "e" in my last name.  Sort of an e with a little diagonal slash on top.
[03:00] <usr13> arnutis: What error?
[03:00] <andr3www> awesome I changed the encoding to Western IBM850 and it works!
[03:00] <andr3www> thanks!
[03:01] <mzanfardino> bulmer: I've done that http://rafb.net/p/posTPK47.html (don't know how to use these options)
[03:01] <sethk> you're, not your.  It's a contraction of you are.
[03:01] <mojo> andr3www, k3w3l!
[03:01] <mojo> andr3www, (cool)
[03:01] <andr3www> it's too bad family guy ended 1/2 an hour ago :(
[03:01] <mojo> andatche, there are sites that have TV show torrents if you missed the episode
[03:01] <tntCry> scguy318, when i connect i type ssh <username>@ < ip > ??? they mean my username at uni or server server ?
[03:01] <mojo> andatche, sorry, that was for andr3www
[03:01] <arnutis> usr13 Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/feisty/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'
[03:02] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i guess thats not much of an option to choose from...some drivers just does not give you much choices
[03:02] <mojo> andr3www, search for the episode on torrent sites maybe
[03:02] <tntCry> i need to know scguy318 how to edit the server file so i can set a port :(
[03:02] <Gnomobile> what's the shortcut keys for restarting the xserver?
[03:02] <mojo> Gnomobile, ctrl-backspace, isn't it?
[03:02] <usr13> arnutis: ubuntustudio.org may just be temporarily down at the moment.
[03:03] <andr3www> yup that's the only thing left
[03:03] <mojo> Gnomobile, maybe ctrl-alt-backspace?  I don't want to test it :P
[03:03] <andr3www> mythbuntu won't even scan the chans properly
[03:03] <bulmer> tntCry-> your username on the remote end (how you are known to your uni)
[03:03] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: not sure how...
[03:03] <tntCry> bulmer, we are in the topic of ssh
[03:03] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino:  answered in pm ;)
[03:03] <mzanfardino> bulmer: yes, well, you might recall I was trying to use the ipw2100 earlier and found that the firmware errors I saw in dmesg are known to occure with the ipw2100, so I bought a belkin which is listed as out-of-the-box ready
[03:03] <arnutis> usr13 I though so 2, will try later. Thanks. :)
[03:04] <mojo> tntCry, so we have to be quiet?  (sry, lame joke)
[03:04] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> it works right out of the box?
[03:04] <sethk> control-alt-backspace is correct
[03:05] <nemik> is anyone using the iwlwifi drivers for the intel 3945 instead of ipw3945? are they better or worse?
[03:06] <usr13> mojo: It's Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[03:06] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino: are you getting any of my pms? jw.
[03:06] <Ryan_was_here> Been having issues with pms lately :P
[03:07] <ari_stress> hi guys, why do we use X.org now? not XFree86 anymore?
[03:07] <aru> jim
[03:08] <sethk> ari_stress, long story, google for it and you'll find tons of info
[03:08] <Ryan_was_here> ari_stress: Because Xfree86 stopped building. Just went dry. X.org picked it up, and is the current developer.
[03:08] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: yes
[03:08] <phiqtion> !virtualbox
[03:08] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[03:08] <Nedteleubu> Hi, I'm trying to fix my tv card install.. i have to type in the following " make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build menuconfig ##replace uname -r with your current kernel version"  how do i find my kernel etc...thanks
[03:08] <usr13> ari_stress: You can use XFree86 if you want, but xorg is just more widely used / supported.  Most of the others have migrated to it as well, etc.
[03:09] <ari_stress> thanks sethk, Ryan_was_here, usr13
[03:09] <bulmer> Nedteleubu-> that `uname -r` will tell you
[03:09] <mojo> SantaHatesRetard, look in the PM convo... I replied
[03:09] <T70K5> is there any possible way for a ubuntu newbie to get desktop effects enabled on a ATI Radeon xpress 200 (chipset is actually 1100, but drivers are 200)?
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: yes.
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> I have the same card
[03:09] <T70K5> how?
[03:09] <andr3www> Anyways thanks a lot for your help it is much appreciated, GOodnight!
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: pm me
[03:10] <mojo> andrew__, gnite!
[03:10] <dominion> can someone help me install Vmware player from a .tar file? I've never been successful installing from tar
[03:10] <Nedteleubu> Thanks bulmer !
[03:10] <mattgyver83> Hey room, just installed 7.10.  After login my screen goes black for about 30-45 seconds before gnome loads.  Any one know what this could be from?
[03:10] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of software that will estimate how long something will take to read?
[03:10] <nemik> how would i switch from ipw3945 to iwlwifi-3945?
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: its in the repositories.
[03:10] <usr13> ari_stress:  One problems is that XFree changed their license to one that nearly nobody likes.
[03:11] <scguy318> sethk: success, thanks :)
[03:11] <dominion> Oh no I already downloaded it..... Thanks. I'll have a look for the repository version.
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: i'm pretty sure it is, if not, i know virtualbox is.
[03:11] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> while the person is multi-tasking or not?
[03:11] <Nedteleubu> is the double hash needed? ##
[03:11] <tonsofpcs> bulmer: not
[03:11] <tonsofpcs> bulmer: like for presentations
[03:11] <ketrox> nemik rmmod ipw3945 then modprob iwl3945 i guess
[03:12] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> well give them time...some people have hard of seing
[03:12] <tonsofpcs> kinda like newsroom systems will estimate show time based upon the words in them
[03:12] <dominion> actually if someone isn't busy. perhaps they could talk me through it anyway. I think it might be a worthwhile learning experience to do it from .tar
[03:12] <tonsofpcs> and some people apparently have hard of heading...
[03:12] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> right..so it depends on your audience
[03:13] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: you there?
[03:13] <bruenig> nemik, kill the daemon too: ipw3945d --kill
[03:13] <usr13> dominion: tar -zxvf vmware.whatever.tar  ;  less INSTALL
[03:13] <john_titor> DE DIA Y DE NOCHEEEEEEEEEE.... QUISIERA TOMAAAAR MI TETITAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:13] <bruenig> usr13, the - and the z are redundant
[03:13] <usr13> dominion: tar -zxvf vmware.whatever.tar  ;  cd vmware.whatever ; less INSTALL
[03:13] <dominion> what's less install mean?
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> !compile | dominion
[03:13] <ubotu> dominion: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[03:13] <dominion> I know how to cd... and tar is the application
[03:14] <Ryan_was_here> dominion: what is your problem?
[03:14] <bruenig> usr13, in fact z shouldn't even be used if it is just .tar
[03:14] <IdleOne> Ryan_was_here: for users to pm on freenode they need to register. most newbies dont have a clue about it . point them to !register and the bot will give them info. i.e. !register | Ryan_was_here
[03:14] <usr13> bruenig: The - is no longer needed, yes, that is true, but z is to unzip
[03:14] <Flannel> dominion: It basically opens up INSTALL (a text file) in less so you can view it
[03:14] <bruenig> usr13, z means that it is gzipped
[03:14] <ToddED1> hey guys , i think i need to get drivers for my ATI radeon card, how would i do this?
[03:14] <T70K5> Yes
[03:14] <T70K5> I Pm'd you but you haven't responded
[03:14] <dominion> I downloaded the .tar file and never seem to get them to install... I'll read the docs and come back with any probs. thanks
[03:14] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: Are you registered?
[03:14] <T70K5> no
[03:15] <bruenig> usr13, x is extract, z is for gzip (only needed now for creating archives not extracting), j is for bzip (same parentheses info)
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: then you can't pm :P
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> T70K5: then as stated several times, you can't pm
[03:15] <T70K5> on freenode?
[03:15] <usr13> bruenig: Well, ok, yes if it is truly just a .tar you are right, but he has more than likely downloaded a gziped tarball.
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: yes
[03:15] <bruenig> usr13, but you don't need to use the z or j
[03:15] <T70K5> I wasn't reading this window my apologies
[03:15] <tarsin> anyone familar with building kernels? this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile says after running `sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.22` it installs the source to some debian/ sub directory.. but it doesn't specify the full path, and thus i have no idea where it is..
[03:15] <usr13> bruenig: Yes you are correct.
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: its all good. got msn or yahoo?
[03:16] <IdleOne> T70K5: /msg nickserv help register will get you there in less then a minute
[03:16] <Nedteleubu> Hi , just one last Q " make menuconfig ##select the drivers that you need but CRITICALLY remove the micro PCM radio driver or the make will fail looking for an aci.h file that doesnt exist"   how will I know which drivers to select?
[03:16] <T70K5> yahoo
[03:16] <T70K5> T70K5
[03:16] <usr13> bruenig: Again you are correct.  I was only trying to give him some info to get him started.  Would have to know the exact file name to know exactly what to do to extract the files.  If it is bz  -jxvf if it is tz  -zxvf
[03:17] <bruenig> usr13, if it is bz, -xf, if it is tz -xf
[03:17] <bulmer> tarsin-> try and look for it at /usr/src if any
[03:17] <bruenig> usr13, xf works for both
[03:17] <Nedteleubu> I'm using this guide if it helps http://tf.erzz.com/2006/05/17/hauppauge-hvr-1100-hybrid-dvb-t-card-working-under-ubuntu-dapper/
[03:18] <tarsin> bulmer, all i have there is linux-headers-2.6.22-14
[03:18] <tarsin> which was there previously
[03:18] <usr13> bruenig: Really, ok  xf  will have to remember that. Never tried that.
[03:19] <bulmer> tarsin-> look there for the headers
[03:19] <bruenig> usr13, well you know what each of the letters do right: x - extract, f - force, v - verbose, j and z are for bzip and gzip respectively but only for creating archives not extracting them, so you can figure out the combos pretty easily from there
[03:19] <tarsin> bulmer, i want the entire source tree. not just the headers...
[03:19] <nemik> thank bruenig and ketrox
[03:20] <ToddED1> is there a cmd i can use to find out what video card i am using?
[03:20] <phiqtion> !virtualbox

[03:20] <bulmer> tarsin-> look there for the headers and the sources too..you have carefully look
[03:20] <usr13> bruenig: Yes, I know.  man tar
[03:20] <usr13> good read
[03:21] <bulmer> ToddED1-> try lshw

[03:27] <SeaK> no
[03:27] <usr13> SeaK: If so,you only need to click on it and...
[03:27] <matttis> Does anyone have experience with installing brother printer drivers ?

[03:28] <Rian-Davide> I dont want to create my own distro
[03:28] <ketrox> Rian-Davide, it's on hardy roadmap
[03:28] <bulmer> matttis-> can you use cups ?
[03:28] <SeaK> how do i check that?
[03:29] <Rian-Davide> no reconstructor already exist
[03:29] <matttis> bulmer: maybe, how ?
[03:29] <usr13> mattgyver83: That is fairly normal for a 400Mhz processor.  Ubuntu uses a hughe kernel and just takes a while to load the Xserver.
[03:29] <kenro> anyone here understand file associations?
[03:29] <joseph> i ok i installed gdesklets from the synaptics package manager....what do i type in the terminal to open the program?

[03:38] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: i thought you could do it iven if its not on a lan
[03:38] <peacepipejv> anybody having trouble with the repositories?
[03:38] <zloog420> UbuntMe: You can control what programs run on startup by going to System->Prefrences->Sessions
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: i don't see how, but maybe.
[03:39] <bulmer> Bruno_-> where is the remote computer? connected to some kind of network at all?
[03:39] <jazz> what's the best svn client for linux? is there something like tortoisesvn that's integrated into the file system?
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: are tyou in the proper source directory(in a terminal), to run ./configure?
[03:39] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: well, the original problem was to scp some files to a friends computer, then i was asked to try to ssh into it...
[03:39] <Bruno_> bulmer: well, its connected to the internet, but thats all
[03:40] <jazz>  what's the best svn client for ubuntu? is there something like tortoisesvn that's integrated into the file system?
[03:40] <bulmer> Bruno_-> your buddy has to allocate a user account for you and a home directory so you can  put your files there
[03:40] <clockbiscuit> hello; i am trying to get my ATI radeon X800 going under ubuntu 7.10. I've installed the ati driver 8.42.3 but my X allways dies and resets to vesa when i try and enable the driver
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: well, i really don't know, i don't know how you'd ssh into a machine thats not on the internet.
[03:40] <Rian-Davide> anyone here know if linux live works with gutsy?
[03:40] <whyameye> I want to download the same source for ffmpeg as on my dapper machine. How do I figure out the revision number?
[03:40] <Bruno_> bulmer: cant it be on his same user account, or on mine, for that matter?
[03:41] <ketrox> clockbiscuit, try following this :  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[03:41] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: ffmpeg -v ?
[03:41] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak:no, it is connected to the internet, just not directly with my computer, like on the same place
[03:41] <Neatchee> Ok, new problem :D  Trying to set up an OpenSSH server.  I have plaintext auth disabled, and i've uploaded my rsa pub key and added it to the authorized key file in ~/.ssh, but it's still giving me "permissiondenied (publickey)
[03:41] <Neatchee> Any ideas?
[03:41] <UbuntMe> zloog420: thanks
[03:41] <clockbiscuit> i've been there - i think its installed i'm not sure how to enable it. or is that idea insane?
[03:41] <bulmer> Bruno_-> it can be any user account as long are you are permitted to put files there..can you imagine if just anyone able  to fill that diretory
[03:41] <peacepipejv> anybody else having trouble accessing the repositories via apt-get in the terminal
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: oh ok, well, i'm not that familiar w/ ssh, so good luck.
[03:41] <usr13> SeaK: Yes, that's probably what you need, the rectricted-modules
[03:42] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[03:42] <scguy318> jazz: svn? :P
[03:42] <whyameye> Megaqwerty: that doesn't show the revision. it does show the date but I don't know how to sync the revision w/ the date.
[03:42] <IdleOne> Neatchee: you probably need to restart the server
[03:42] <usr13> SeaK: and madwifi-tools
[03:42] <SeaK> usr13: how do i get those?
[03:42] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: aptitude show ffmpeg | grep Version
[03:42] <Neatchee> IdleOne, lol i'm not THAT slow :D
[03:43] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok, here's what we've done so far. got sshd up and running, told the firewall to allowe port 22 for incoming traffic and configured port forwarding on my friends router. Anything else left to fo?
[03:43] <peacepipejv> anybody know whats going on with the repos?
[03:43] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he gave you a password for his account ?
[03:43] <Bruno_> bulmer: no
[03:44] <usr13> SeaK: Easiest way would be to hook up via hard wire,  temporaririly, and do:  sudo apt-get madwifi-tools
[03:44] <clockbiscuit> yeh i think i am going to have to go out and get an nvidia card; i'm banging my head against the wall trying to get ati going
[03:44] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he created an account for you yet?
[03:44] <Bruno_> bulmer: but we havent even got to that point, every time i try to ssh int his computer y get Connection refused.
[03:44] <Bruno_> bulmer: no,
[03:44] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: that work for you?
[03:44] <Rian-Davide> is there a ubuntu linux live how to?
[03:44] <Rian-Davide> maybe in the ubuntu forums?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: what do you mean?..
[03:44] <ketrox> clockbiscuit, it works well for me
[03:44] <bulmer> Bruno_-> thats one of the requirements..an account on his system
[03:45] <SeaK> usr13: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on x86/x86_64

[03:45]  * IdleOne ssh's to bulmer's pc. hmmm connection refused
[03:45] <usr13> SeaK: Easiest way would be to hook up via hard wire,  temporaririly, and do:  sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools
[03:46] <JonathanH> Can someone tell me why when i try to connect to my wireless network that is protected it will not take my pass-phrase. if i connect to other network without pass word protection the Internet does not work...
[03:46] <bulmer> IdleOne-> you dont know what port i have it running on :)
[03:46] <IdleOne> bulmer: probbly not 21
[03:46] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: i tried to run update in the term but its telling me the it kind find the local hosts
[03:46] <bulmer> roger that

[03:47] <SeaK> lol sry
[03:47] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: i just wanted to know if I was the only one with this problem
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: well, i just ran update and its fine
[03:47] <bulmer> JonathanH-> can you get it connected to your wireless AP if wep is temporarily disabled?
[03:47] <peacepipejv> wierd
[03:48] <drmikecrowe> folks, can anybody help me get postgres re-installed?  doing an apt-get install postgresql-8.2 doesn't create /etc/init.d/post... and /var/lib/postgresql/*
[03:48] <sky`sunset> can someone give me a populor C++ irc server or channel please?
[03:49] <joshua__> hey guys IM having issues with sudo
[03:49] <joshua__> /etc/sudoers
[03:49] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: #c++
[03:49] <sky`sunset> this server?
[03:49] <SeaK> usr13:  it says couldnt find package
[03:49] <sky`sunset> IdleOne this server?
[03:49] <IdleOne> yes
[03:49] <usr13> SeaK: Look for "## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'"  in /etc/apt/sourses.list
[03:50] <sky`sunset> thank u so much
[03:50] <thompa> anybody single booting intel macbook?
[03:50] <joshua__> I need to mount hdc1 from the live cd so I can edit the file
[03:50] <usr13> SeaK: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:50] <JonathanH> pretty new to this I could use someone who is willing to help.. basic stuff i would guess
[03:51] <joshua__> does anyone know the command to mount a hard disk from the livecd?
[03:51] <SeaK> usr13: .... i dont understand sry new here
[03:51] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, after u hit the Tab key, did u add the : by urself?
[03:51] <bulmer> joshua__-> same command as if you were not in livecd
[03:51] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, or it add the : automatically?
[03:51] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: you can change that in the xchat prefs
[03:52] <Gnomobile> ok I don't know how but I managed to get this ati radeon x1950 working with 3d graphics, but now the "System > Administration > Screens and Graphics" doesn't do anything. Anyone know what utility I'm supposed to use to change the resolution or frequency etc?
[03:52] <usr13> SeaK: sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:52] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, how ? i am a new user for irc, sry
[03:52] <joshua__> bulmer:  I know you have to mkdir first then issue a command to mount the file system I dont remember the command
[03:52] <weisswursts> hi
[03:52] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Did you try dpkg-reconfigure postgres...?
[03:52] <weisswursts> i had gzip running as root filling my space...
[03:52] <weisswursts> i have no idea what that is
[03:52] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: click on settings in the xchat window , click on prefferences and look in there
[03:53] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, thank u
[03:53] <quick_nick> here is a newb question.  i am thinking about getting a rig but wonder can i get directv channels on it?
[03:53] <weisswursts> after i killed gzip process, it didn'T fill my space anymore
[03:53] <bulmer> joshua__-> okay you can make a dir called  /mnt as your mount point ..then mount.. man mount for instructions
[03:53] <usr13> SeaK: Find the universal lines, (probably two of them), using the down arrow get the cursor on the # and use the x key to delet it.  :wq   to write and save and quit.
[03:53] <weisswursts> what could i do now?
[03:53] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: no problem
[03:53] <weisswursts> is that some kind of bug?
[03:54] <joshua__> bulmer it would be easier to just tell me the command
[03:54] <usr13> SeaK: Use the down and right and left arrows to move the cursor around.
[03:54] <matttis> bulmer: thanks again
[03:54] <JonathanH> Bulmer-> i have connected to other networks that do not have wep. I connect just fine to the network but cannot get anywhere with it
[03:54] <IdleOne> sky`sunset$$$ you can make the suffix pretty much anything you want but $$$ would be annoying so try to avoid annoying things :)
[03:54] <Gnomobile> is anyone using the restricted ati drivers? what utility are you using to change resolution/frequency?
[03:54] <usr13> SeaK: :wq     when you're done.
[03:54] <bulmer> joshua__-> it would but you'll forget and will not gain the experience of reading the man pages..if you get stuck we will help
[03:54] <SeaK> usr13: what is a unverisal line?
[03:54] <ketrox> Gnomobile, the gnome default
[03:54] <TheDetective> when I attempt to use the gcc command in terminal, I get a 'command not found' error...why?
[03:54] <thompa> is there anyway to single boot ubuntu on  macbook without the 20 sec delay?
[03:55] <usr13> SeaK: Look for "## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'"  in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:55] <usser> TheDetective: u dont have it installed
[03:55] <ketrox> TheDetective, maybe gcc is not installed
[03:55] <bulmer> JonathanH-> you have to look at your route table and gateway
[03:55] <weisswursts> hi, i had gzip running as root filling my space... i have no idea what that is after i killed gzip process, it didn'T fill my space anymore what could i do now? is that some kind of bug?
[03:55] <joshua__> you know what I will log out log into my installation get the error message patebin then come back for help
[03:55] <Aaack> Hello there! I'm from Argentina so excuse in advance my poor english.  I would like to know if someone knows a good file manager capable to navigate a Nokia 6131 through an USB connection (wich my Ubuntu Feisty recognized perfectly well).
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: yes, and no apparent change
[03:56] <pabix> Hello. Is there some "cat" command for sound files?
[03:56] <Wisteso> anyone know why a failed restore from hibernation might cause locking when booting from the hard drive OR live cd afterwards?
[03:56] <JonathanH> any idea why i can not even connect to my own network using a key i know i correct ?
[03:56] <zloog420> pabix what do you mean?
[03:56] <peacepipejv> why cant i access the repos via terminal
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> I don't get why apt-get install postgresql-8.2 doesn't create /var/lib dir's and /etc files
[03:56] <usr13> SeaK: After editing the file, do:  sudo apt-get update
[03:56] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I would try apt-get remove --purge postgre.... and then try reinstalling it again.  If not I don't know where to go from there.
[03:56] <Bruno_> bulmer: so how would the synatx be. we now have a shared account so it would be ssh -l compartido@his-ip -p 22 ?
[03:56] <bulmer> JonathanH-> can you get it connected to your wireless AP if wep is temporarily disabled?
[03:56] <pabix> zloog420, I would like some command to concatenate sound files... the inverse of oggsplt in other words
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: I didn't try purge, let me try that
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: are you running sudo?
[03:57] <drmikecrowe> pabix: try play or aplay
[03:57] <bulmer> Bruno_->  that looks good
[03:57] <pabix> play?
[03:57] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: You did get all the dependencies like postgre-common and everything?
[03:57] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: yes
[03:57] <Gnomobile> ketrox, my gnome default is saying I'm using a vesa graphics card on an unknown monitor at 640x480 @60hz... when it's actually using the restricted ati drivers, and the output I'm looking at is probably 1600x1200
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> who knows,
[03:57] <peacepipejv> i tried to do an update
[03:57] <bulmer> Bruno_-> or if that dont work try  ssh -p 22 -l username ipaddress
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: are you here in the US?
[03:57] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: No, it seems to just appear to install, but nothing changes.
[03:57] <peacepipejv> yes
[03:57] <SeaK> usr13: the only ones i found was  the 'backports' and   from Canonical's
[03:58] <pabix> drmikecrowe, OK, I will try this. Thank you
[03:58] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok, im also going to add -vv to check for any error mesages
[03:58] <drmikecrowe> I was trying to install gforge (big mistake)
[03:58] <usr13> SeaK: What version are you on?
[03:58] <Gnomobile> ketrox, any idea why the gnome default Screens and Graphics utility is out of sync with what x-server is actually outputting?
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: what error are you getting when you run sudo apt-get update
[03:58] <SeaK> usr13: gusty 7.10
[03:58] <ketrox> Gnomobile, what says fglrxinfo ?
[03:58] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I just installed it earlier today and it had to get about 8 other files.  Maybe right click on the postgresql file and look at it's dependencies to make sure they're being selected.
[03:59] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: I"m on a server via ssh, so everything from the command line
[03:59] <Bruno_>  bulmer: came back connection refused
[03:59] <drmikecrowe> Let me try purge, 1s
[03:59] <JonathanH> no i have not. i do not really have a way to disable that at this point. i have a macbook connected to it no problem though
[03:59] <bulmer> Bruno_-> his router may have not been opened yet to allow that port..besides his pc is behind a router right?
[03:59] <Gnomobile> ketrox, display: :0.0  screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1950 Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: yes
[04:00] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak:  111 conectio refused
[04:00] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't tell ya how to search for a program's dependencies via command line.
[04:00] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: dont know, doesn't make sense, works fine for me.
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: how do we open the port?
[04:00] <bulmer> Bruno_-> his router may have not been opened yet to allow that port..ask him to configure his dsl/modem router to allow port 22 in
[04:00] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: is it showing only 1 one repo is down or is it a specific one.
[04:00] <ketrox> Gnomobile, mm try to change it using the ati config tool
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:00] <bulmer> Bruno_-> i dont know which brand of router you have
[04:01] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak:  all of them
[04:01] <peacepipejv> its pretty wierd
[04:01] <Gnomobile> ketrox, how do you start that up?
[04:01] <Bruno_> bulmer: is that a port forwarding thing?
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> indeed
[04:01] <usr13> SeaK: Are you with me? .....
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: how long has it been like this?
[04:01] <Bruno_> bulmer: uz we already did that
[04:01] <Gnomobile> ketrox, aticonfig from a console?
[04:01] <ketrox> the newer version is amdcccle
[04:02] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: not long less than an hour, i just installed wine not to long ago
[04:02] <SeaK> usr13: yes
[04:02] <bulmer> Bruno_-> port forwarding and making sure his system is really detecting your attempt..what os he has on his end?
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:02] <Kernel-panic> hi there.. i have a problem with a kernel panic when i boot my system.. is anyone able to help me to rescue my system???
[04:03] <Bruno_> bulmer: ubuntu 7.10
[04:03] <SantaHatesRetard> my ubuntu feisty keeps periodically locking up completely. Nothing im doing seems to be causing it as it locks up even while being gone. memtest passed 3 passes with no errors. PSU voltages look great and are very stable. What is the next step to discover why this PC keeps locking?
[04:03] <amonkey> my cpufreq governor is set to ondemand, but for some reason when i plug in to ac the range of frequencies changed to 1.83-1.83 from 1-1.83. how can i stop this from happening?
[04:03] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: weird -- I don't know if it was adding postgresql-common to the install command, but it installed.  strange
[04:03] <peacepipejv> synaptic doesnt work either
[04:03] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Good deal, it should have added the client as well along with some other dependencies.
[04:03] <bulmer> Bruno_-> making sure his system is really detecting your attempt look in /var/log/messages
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: there was an error with the Nvidia driver that was causing that on a specific card, but i don't remember exactly
[04:04] <Bruno_> bulmer: what do i look for?
[04:04] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: it did.  In trying to install gforge, I removed 8.2, installed 8.1, and generally mucked up everything.
[04:04] <drmikecrowe> All back now
[04:04] <bulmer> Bruno_-> log attempts
[04:04] <bulmer> Bruno_-> log attempts or connect attempts
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: well, if sudo apt-get update doesn't work,synaptic won't work, synaptic is just a GUI source manager
[04:04] <Bruno_> ok
[04:04] <SantaHatesRetard> i had a feeling it was video card related, so just disable the restricted driver and see if it is resolved?
[04:04] <pabix> drmikecrowe, I get "sox soxio: Failed reading `test1.mp3': unknown file type `auto'" : do I have to install a library?
[04:04] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:05] <hahafaha> Hello. I have a problem playing MPEG files
[04:05] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I'm still trying to figure out how to start postgre as an unprivileged user so it will work with the program I want to run.  :)
[04:05] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: i had assumed that. You just never know
[04:05] <pabix> drmikecrowe, forget, I noticed there are many libsox-fmt-* packages
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: you could try that
[04:06] <hahafaha> I normally use mplayer, and have a bunch of various codecs from medibuntu and mplayerhq installed. However, whenever I try to play an MP4 file, I get the audio, but weird purple garbage on the screen instead of video
[04:06] <drmikecrowe> pabix: could be - - I installed all sox files
[04:06] <SantaHatesRetard> if i stop using the restricted driver and it continues to lock, does that rule out nvidia driver issues?
[04:06] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: sudo -- I found some instructions on allowing a non-priviledged user to execute a single command
[04:06] <Kernel-panic> i got a kernel panic-not syncing   <... that was direct after init: error parsing configuration: no such file or directory
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: maybe.. one would think
[04:07] <SantaHatesRetard> IndyGunFreak, thanks. :)
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: your CPU fan, etc, is all working?
[04:07] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I tried running it as the postgre user but that still didn't allow my application to install.
[04:07] <bulmer> SantaHatesRetard-> why not try the lowest common denominator?  svga rez?
[04:07] <Kernel-panic> what is this init version?
[04:07] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I'll probably just post the question in their forum.
[04:07] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: 1s, let me refer you to something
[04:08] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: http://www.kforgeproject.com/doc/install  --- scroll down to section 2.1.  It was for apache, but would be easy to adopt for postgres
[04:09] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Perfect, I'll check it out.  thanks.
[04:09] <joshua__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45880/
[04:09] <weltschmerz> if i use esd, can multiple users use sound at the same time?  so one user can have music going, but another logged in user can hear system sounds?
[04:10] <hahafaha> can anybody help me? I normally use mplayer, and have a bunch of various codecs from medibuntu and mplayerhq installed. However, whenever I try to play an MP4 file, I get the audio, but weird purple garbage on the screen instead of video
[04:10] <joshua__> I cant use sudo commands anymore
[04:10] <John_R> solaris rocks
[04:10] <Bruno_> bulmer: how about if i want to connect to a windows machine?
[04:10] <boselecta> i think the recent evolution update broke the icon thingy on the panel
[04:11] <bulmer> Bruno_-> then its a different protocol unless you have ssh server running on that windows machine
[04:11] <graelb> Anybody know anything about xubuntu on tablets? I'm trying to get my screen to rotate 90 degrees.... no idea where to start
[04:11] <Bruno_> bulmer: LIKE PUTTY?
[04:11] <Bruno_> bulmer: sorry for caps
[04:12] <bulmer> Bruno_-> as an ssh client? Putty is okay..his end must be running an ssh server
[04:12] <joshua__> whenever I issue a command with sudo I get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45880/
[04:12] <Bruno_> bulmer: where can he get one?
[04:12] <difekta> my client just died, so if anyone answered my esd question, pleas repeat.
[04:12] <bulmer> joshua__-> sudo cat /etc/sudoers and see if you can spot the problem
[04:13] <naelr> hahafaha: is the mp4 a file with drm on it .. I notice that same problem if I try to play drm protected files
[04:13] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he has ubuntu? it has an ssh server or can be apt-get installed if not installed yet
[04:13] <Bruno_> bulmer:one fo them is on ubuntu, but another is on windows.
[04:14] <bulmer> Bruno_-> which is which?
[04:14] <hahafaha> naelr: no, it shouldn't be. It was downloaded from Google Video. Also, I was able to play it before, but then reinstalled Ubuntu
[04:14] <Bruno_> i think i managed to get my ports open and all, so the buntu friend should eb able to connect (he's away atm) so i want to try with my wondows friend now
[04:14] <Bruno_> bulmer:  i think i managed to get my ports open and all, so the buntu friend should eb able to connect (he's away atm) so i want to try with my wondows friend now
[04:14] <joshua__> bulmer, when i ssue sudo cat /etc/sudoers I get the same error
[04:14] <bulmer> Bruno_-> connect to your or you connect to them?
[04:15] <naelr> hahafaha: you musta missed some codec then... did you use automatix2 before and not this time or something like that?
[04:15] <Bruno_> bulmer: i think he can connect to my computer now.
[04:15] <bulmer> joshua__-> you have a screwed up /etc/sudoers file  thats why you cant sudo anymore?
[04:15] <Bruno_> bulmer: im not sure i can to his. we have diferent routers and its dificult to check if he's done it corectly
[04:15] <hahafaha> naelr: I may have very well used automatix2 last time. I certainly did not this time. I'll go try it
[04:15] <Revington> hey, does anyone know a way to check which processes are using your bandwidth and how much of it
[04:16] <pjeide> josh: cat /etc/sudoers    without the sudo first
[04:16] <bulmer> Bruno_-> i have to get off for now... AFK
[04:16] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:16] <joshua__> pjeide, permission denied

[04:20] <Rian-Davide> anyone know how to use linux live for ubuntu?
[04:20] <peacepipejv> I need help with a 111 connection refused error when I sudo apt-get update
[04:20] <joules> hey i was wondering if anyone here has ever used an apple wireless keyboard on ubuntu?

[04:21] <tritium> dingyong: English here, please
[04:22] <dingyong> can you tell me how to install qq
[04:22] <naelr> !qq
[04:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qq - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:23] <tarsin> is there an ubuntu developers channel?
[04:23] <tritium> yes, tarsin, why?
[04:24] <tritium> This is the channel for support and questions.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !welcome | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> tarsin: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> hrm..
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !off-topic | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:24] <Cpudan80> dammit
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !offtopic | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> tarsin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:25] <tarsin> because i have a question related to patching the kernel.. and i'd like to know if linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.46.diff.gz can be obtained as a collection of patches instead of a huge file as there seems to be conflicts with the patch i am trying to apply and the ubuntu patches
[04:26] <tritium> tarsin: the patches should be below the debian directory in the source package
[04:26] <Rian-Davide> Can anyone help me with linux live?  Is it even compatible with Ubuntu?  I cant find any documentation about is being used for ubuntu
[04:26] <DrX> login user returns must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh" -- what does that mean and how do you do it?
[04:27] <tritium> tarsin: check here for more info on ubuntu kernels: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam
[04:27] <tritium> Rian-Davide: never heard of it
[04:27] <peacepipejv> hey, i was only able to do apt-get update logged in as root. Any suggestions? The only change ive made recently was a wine install and a change in the wine regedit
[04:27] <Cpudan80> peacepipejv: That's how it works?
[04:27] <Cpudan80> sudo apt-get thing
[04:27] <joules> uh .. anyone knows of a sleek keyboard and mouse ? and if it works on ubuntu? mac keyboard being an alternative..?
[04:28] <tritium> Rian-Davide: you realize that ubuntu has Live CDs?
[04:28] <peacepipejv> Cpu
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: Linux is Ubuntu
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Or well, Ubuntu is Linux
[04:28] <peacepipejv> Cpudan80: i cant do it with sudao apt-get update only when sud -i
[04:28] <peacepipejv> sudo -i
[04:28] <Cpudan80> oh...
[04:28] <Cpudan80> weird
[04:29] <peacepipejv> anybody?
[04:29] <DrX> peacepipejv: thanks!
[04:29] <theacolyte> How would I go about fixing grub if I've installed Vista after Ubuntu? I thought it was easier than I'm finding it
[04:29] <scguy318> Cpudan80: Ubuntu is a Linux DISTRIBUTION ;)
[04:29] <peacepipejv> DrX: thanks for what
[04:29] <scguy318> Cpudan80: Linux is just a kernel
[04:30] <Cpudan80> scguy318: Right
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> http://www.linux-live.org/#
[04:30] <theacolyte> I have 2 disks
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> this is linux live people
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> so I can make my own live cd
[04:30] <Bruno_> !ssh
[04:30] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[04:30] <tritium> Rian-Davide: you realize that ubuntu has Live CDs?
[04:30] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: The ubuntu is a live CD, quit being an idiot and read
[04:30] <ivx> hey how can i write my fstab to mount my nfs as a hard drive appearing icon, like when you boot the live cd it shows your windows drive
[04:30] <tritium> Cpudan80: be courteous, please
[04:30] <Cpudan80> tritium: Righto
[04:32] <amicrawler> is there a way to disable wireless card so doesn not start up first thing
[04:32] <ketrox> tritium, CppIsWeird he's trying to cutomize the live cd
[04:32] <virtuososteve> hey
[04:32] <Rian-Davide> wow CPUdan80 are you actually a ubuntu support person?
[04:32] <Rian-Davide> cause omg
[04:33] <hahafaha> naelr: I installed all the codecs that were there, but it still doesn't work =\
[04:33] <Rian-Davide> you havent payed any sort of attention
[04:33] <virtuososteve> im on gutsy and i was wondering how you sync videos to an iriver clix?
[04:33] <PirateHead> Is there a program that provides a GUI for creating and manipulating SQLite databases?
[04:33] <amicrawler> i have to do this command all the time to get my nic to work
[04:33] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: You can run the ubuntu CD as a live CD
[04:33] <peacepipejv> help, can only access reposas sudo -i
[04:33] <tritium> Rian-Davide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:33] <amicrawler> ifconfig ath0 down
[04:33] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: I fail to see why you need to use some other tool
[04:33] <Rian-Davide> really ? wow? tell me more about the world?  is the sky blue? Ive only heard rumours
[04:33] <tritium> ketrox: he should see the URL above, in that case
[04:33] <virtuososteve> does anyone know?
[04:34] <jamiejackso1> trying to get swiftfox, and checking cpu compatibility guide. however, i don't know what cpu i have. how do i find out?
[04:34] <tritium> Rian-Davide: please be courteous as well
[04:34] <amicrawler> i have to do this command all the time to get my nic to work
[04:34] <amicrawler> is there a way to disable wireless card so doesn not start up first thing
[04:34] <Pinpoint139> umm, can someone help me to get my external hard drive to work
[04:34] <amicrawler> what drive ?
[04:34] <amicrawler> usb firewire?
[04:34] <Pinpoint139> free agent 500 usb
[04:34] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: Perhaps if knew more about what you were trying to accopmlish
[04:34] <amicrawler> what format?
[04:34] <Rian-Davide> I know ubuntu is a live cd distro, but it doesnt come customized with all of the things I need installed on the live cd
[04:35] <rbil> amicrawler: do u want to have it setup so that nic is never used?
[04:35] <tritium> Rian-Davide: I just gave you a URL for customizing the ubuntu Live CD!!!
[04:35] <PirateHead> Rian-Davide: You could remaster the CD.
[04:35] <Pinpoint139> what do you mean by format
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> can you post it again?
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> please
[04:35] <amicrawler> yes very much so
[04:35] <tritium> Rian-Davide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:35] <Flannel> Rian-Davide: Ubuntu isn't a liveCD distro.  Its designed for installed use.  If you want a liveCD distro, theres a bunch of others much more suited for that application
[04:35] <CppIsWeird> ketrox: im trying to do what with the ubuntu live cd?
[04:35] <rbil> amicrawler: then u should be able to blacklist it
[04:35] <PirateHead> Rian-Davide: There are programs to help with that, and there was a good article explaining how to do it in a recent Linux Format magazine. :-)
[04:35] <Animortis> Can someone link me to a good article for sharing my printer between two 7.10 machines via a network? The wiki has an article that doesn't work, likely out-of-date.
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> thank you so much
[04:35] <amicrawler> i looked
[04:35] <amicrawler> its not
[04:35] <jamiejackso1> how do i find out what cpu i have?
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> Ive been asking for two days now and no one knew
[04:36] <tritium> !enter | amicrawler
[04:36] <ubotu> amicrawler: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:36] <amicrawler> Pin  was it made for windwos
[04:36] <Pinpoint139> yes
[04:36] <JJHathoway> is there reasoning why there aren't updated Ubuntu packages for some applications....example:  for Eclipse IDE (ubuntu only has packages for 3.2 and not the new 3.3)
[04:36] <cool> jamiejackso1, cat /etc/proc/cpu
[04:36] <peacepipejv> flannel, yes it is
[04:36] <amicrawler> was it made for win xp ?
[04:36] <Dr_willis> JJHathoway,  ubuntu normally updates stuff every 6 mo.
[04:36] <Pinpoint139> win xp as far as I know
[04:36] <tritium> JJHathoway: updates would be for security reasons between stable releases
[04:36] <PirateHead> JJHathoway: the Ubuntu packagers frequently lag behind on updating things; when a program is updated, expect to wait 6 months to a year before Ubuntu catches up.
[04:36] <amicrawler> so the file format is ntfs
[04:37] <peacepipejv> Flannel: since when is Ubuntu not a live cd distro
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> it is a seagate free agent
[04:37] <PirateHead> JJHathoway: Ubuntu is not a "cutting edge" distro; for that, you need to use something like Gentoo or Arch Linux.
[04:37] <Flannel> peacepipejv: No, its really not.  LiveCD is a 'try before you install'.
[04:37] <jamiejackso1> cool: that doesn't work. no file found
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> and yes it is ntfs
[04:37] <amicrawler> humm you should be able to format that with no issues
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> reformat it to fat then?
[04:37] <bruenig> JJHathoway, yeah if you want up to date software, you will want to find a different distro
[04:37] <amicrawler> humm
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> or can it still read ntfs
[04:37] <naelr> what is the driver disk talked about on the boot up of the live cd?
[04:37] <cool> jamiejackso1,ok my bad try this cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:38] <peacepipejv> Flannel: uh, yes i know. Every Ubuntu distro i have is a live cd distro
[04:38] <amicrawler> yeah you could do that
[04:38] <amicrawler> fat 32
[04:38] <Pinpoint139> but would it still read on windows xp though?
[04:38] <tovella> Animortis: you might take a look at screencasts.ubuntu.com where there is a screencast on "Connecting to Printers".
[04:38] <Bruno_> i cant change user passwords through the Users and Groups program
[04:38] <amicrawler> yes  fat 16 or 32  is native to windwos world and mac and linux
[04:38] <JJHathoway> well eclipse has a compiled new version for linux
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> thx, cool. swiftfox doesn't support my oldschool pentium 2
[04:39] <tritium> Bruno_: you can if you're logged in as a user with sudo priveleges
[04:39] <amicrawler> if the drive is bigger then 5gb  then fat 32
[04:39] <tritium> JJHathoway: updates would be for security reasons between stable releases
[04:39] <JJHathoway> i just like the fact that package mangager is simple for removals
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> i installed the new compiled eclipse
[04:39] <Animortis> tovella, Thanks, will look at it.
[04:39] <peacepipejv> Flannel: youre mistaken
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> happy so far, but dumb it's not in repos
[04:39] <bruenig> JJHathoway, get the source, or switch to a distro that stays up to date, those are your options, you are aware, now stop crying
[04:39] <santor> help, my resolution was changed to 640X480 and i can't change it back
[04:39] <Bruno_> tritium: im not, how can i just open that program as root?
[04:39] <santor> i went to system settings, it won't change
[04:39] <amicrawler> santo what card ?
[04:40] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Its not intended to be used primarily as a liveCD.  There are distros that are geared towards it, and do it much better.  No use trying to squeeze something into a niche its not designed for.  Yes, there are Ubuntu liveCDs, but that was always so you could try it before installing it, never as a selling point in and of itself.
[04:40] <santor> intel 945 i belive
[04:40] <cool> jamiejackso1, then use the normal version, Firefox
[04:40] <amicrawler> reload the driver
[04:40] <tritium> Bruno_: you cannot changes users passwords (other than your own) without sudo priveleges.
[04:40] <amicrawler> or reboot the computer
[04:40] <JJHathoway> bruenig: um, if you've seen my comments no one is crying, some are hear trying to understand the motives behind things
[04:40] <santor> i rebooted
[04:40] <santor> didnt' work
[04:40] <JJHathoway> *here
[04:40] <amicrawler> ok
[04:40] <jamiejackso1> cool: yup, am, wanted a faster alternative tho. ff gets slower and slower
[04:40] <linux88> Gahaha. Who else in here also loves the Internet?
[04:40] <amicrawler> reload the intel driver
[04:40] <santor> how do i do that
[04:41] <santor> i'm not really used to using linux with a gui
[04:41] <jamiejackso1> i hate the internet, i prefer mailing off for pamphlets and paper forms instead. ;-)
[04:41] <peacepipejv> Flannel: im not understanding then cuz i installed via live cd
[04:41] <santor> so i've never worried about display drivers
[04:41] <amicrawler> http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/installing-intel-815852855-graphics-controller-drivers-on-ubuntu-debian/
[04:41] <foso> hey guys, im trying to change the bg color of my splash screen, anyone know how?
[04:41] <amicrawler> the screen shot in the start ?
[04:42] <pigsfly> hello, if i write a shell script and use wait to wait for all my background processes to finish before exiting, if i prematurely terminate my shell script, what will happen to my background processes?
[04:42] <cool> jamiejackso1, well you can manually tweak firefox, type in 'about:config' without quotes in address bra
[04:42] <Bruno_> tritium: i opend it as sudo and i change it
[04:42] <peacepipejv> Flannel: when i dnldd from the ubuntu website i rcvd a live cd iso
[04:42] <tritium> Bruno_: good
[04:42] <Bruno_> tritium: when isee it again its back to something else
[04:42] <cool> jamiejackso1, oops sorry its bar not bra :p
[04:42] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Not saying Ubuntu doesn't have a liveCD.  But for people who use a liveCD as their sole install, there are better distros out there.  Ubuntu's liveCD is designed to show off ubuntu to people without requiring an install.
[04:42] <cool> hehe
[04:43] <amicrawler> rbil  do you have a sulution for the wif card
[04:43] <cool> lol
[04:43] <kryp> where do I put cgi's for them 2 work in php?
[04:43] <kkathman> when you gksudo nautilus, and set the permissions on a folder, then click on the button to apply to all the contents, why doesnt it change the files and folders?
[04:43] <rbil> amicrawler: blacklist it
[04:43] <amicrawler> what dothe black list do ?
[04:43] <Pinpoint139> is there a way in which I don't have to reformat my hard drive
[04:43] <peacepipejv> Flannel: the defualt dnld for ubuntu is live cd
[04:43] <amicrawler> yes
[04:43] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Yes it is.  Thats not the point
[04:43] <tritium> peacepipejv: you're missing his point.
[04:43] <foso> i changed the splash screen thing that shows things loading, but not the awful tan color
[04:43] <rbil> amicrawler: prevents loading of driver by kernel and that essentially makes it invisible to the system
[04:43] <amicrawler> load the ntfs driver from snaptic manger
[04:44] <peacepipejv> nevermind that
[04:44] <cool> kkathman, then you can also sudo chmod <permissions> <file name> in the terminal
[04:44] <peacepipejv> then
[04:44] <amicrawler> i see rbil
[04:44] <cool> !terminal | kkathman
[04:44] <ubotu> kkathman: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:44] <rbil> amicrawler: google for blacklist
[04:44] <kkathman> cool thats not my question I know you can do a chmod :)
[04:44] <amicrawler> i tried the tail grep  the wireless card nota
[04:45] <kkathman> cool Im really asking if this is a bug and needs to be reported
[04:45] <amicrawler> foso  goto gnome  and get a new splash screen there very small files and some are very cool
[04:45] <rbil> amicrawler: u essentially edit this file ... /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add a line like blacklist <device driver>
[04:46] <peacepipejv> anyway, sorry, im here for help
[04:46] <amicrawler> what do i look forthe wif driver
[04:46] <tuxman> does anyone know how to change a partition to have user priviledges
[04:46] <cool> kkathman, ok let me test ;)
[04:46] <amicrawler> it is intel
[04:46] <amicrawler> mac mini
[04:46] <foso> amicrawler - i have a new menu thing, showing the progress, but not the color behind it
[04:46] <tritium> !enter | amicrawler
[04:46] <foso> do you know how to do that?
[04:46] <ubotu> amicrawler: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:46] <tuxman> i have a /arc i use for all my media but i need root to access it
[04:46] <rbil> amicrawler: maybe it's i815 or somesuch? what does lspci tell you?
[04:46] <peacepipejv> i get a 111 error when i apt-get upgrade unless im logged in as root (sudo -i)
[04:47] <tuxman> chmod 777 /dev/sda4
[04:47] <peacepipejv> not upgrade, i mean update
[04:47] <tuxman> would that work
[04:47] <Rian-Davide> Hey everyone with this live cd customization can I add restricted drivers?
[04:47] <Pinpoint139> how do i do that
[04:47] <cthulfuego> tuxman: Well, that's not the way to go about it.
[04:47] <cthulfuego> tuxman: Better would be to mount it, then change permissions on the mount point.
[04:47] <peacepipejv> i get a 111 error when i apt-get update unless im logged in as root (sudo -i)
[04:47] <tuxman> if i mount the drive sudo mount /dev/sda4 /home/user/media
[04:48] <tritium> !repeat | peacepipejv
[04:48] <jughead> My screen went totally blank a couple of times and the keyboard was non-responsive.  I've had to do a total of 3 hard resets.  Is there a log or something I can look at to see what's going on?
[04:48] <cthulfuego> tuxman: if it's fat32 or NTFS that will not work either, you'll have to set mount options in that case.
[04:48] <ubotu> peacepipejv: 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
[04:48] <Pinpoint139> amicrawle how do i do that
[04:48] <tuxman> i can mount it their no problem and i can edit the fstab file later i just need to figure out how to get user access for that folder
[04:48] <linux88> Anyone know anything about encryption, or maybe can through a pretty good link this way?
[04:48] <amicrawler> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (r                      ev 01)

[04:50] <tuxman> anyone get their powered by ubuntu stickers yet
[04:50] <rbil> amicrawler: hold on I'm looking
[04:50] <kkathman> cool what I did was to take a folder that had permissions set to root-root, and then open gksudo nautilus, right click on the folder, go to properties, then to permissions, set the permissions to local user, then click the "Apply permissions to enclosed files"   is that what you did ?
[04:50] <cool> tuxman we have been getting it since 6.10 :o
[04:51] <Pinpoint139> how do you get to synaptic manager
[04:51] <cabrioleur> dominion, you can download from their website. You can use qemu as well.
[04:51] <Ademan> gah, had two instances of x-chat open
[04:51] <rbil> amicrawler: this might do it for you ...      blacklist ath_pci
[04:51] <zloog420> Pinpoint: Menu -> System->administrator_>Synaptic package manager.
[04:52] <dominion> I have already downloaded the .tar and .rpm. but can't work out how to install them
[04:52] <rbil> amicrawler: after adding it to blacklist file, reboot computer
[04:52] <Pinpoint139> thank you
[04:52] <cabrioleur> Pinpoint139, "sudo synaptic"
[04:52] <cabrioleur> dominion, use alien
[04:52] <cool> kkathman, you changed the ownership or just access permissions?
[04:52] <amicrawler> ok rebooting
[04:52] <kkathman> cool both
[04:53] <cabrioleur> dominion, or unpack tarball and follow enclosed README file.
[04:53] <cool> kkathman, then it should work :o
[04:53] <kkathman> cool it doesnt
[04:53] <crdlb> !vmware | dominion
[04:53] <ubotu> dominion: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[04:54] <ehc> I am having trouble burning cds with k3b on amd64 7.04. the error I get is writer does not support buffer underrun free
[04:54] <difekta>  if i use dmix, it seems that only one user can have sound at once.  if i use esd, will that allow two users to both use sound at once?
[04:54] <dominion> ok... I'll have another search
[04:54] <theacolyte> Anyone have any idea at all why when I switched fonts, compiz fusion won't work (just the 7.10 desktop effects -- not my compiz stuff)
[04:54] <seak> usr13: u in chat with me?
[04:54] <cool> kkathman, i am not a expert in this field, do one thing one a answer ticket on launchpad  or a new thread on ubuntu forums, so that someone may look at it :)
[04:55] <crdlb> dominion: you need to enable multiverse
[04:55] <dominion> I couldn't find vmware player when I search synaptics for "vmware-player"
[04:55] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, any stderr?
[04:55] <Pinpoint139> so what do i need to read my external hard drive
[04:55] <Fujitsu> vmware-player is only in Ubuntu 7.04 and lower, dominion.
[04:55] <dominion> and there doesn't seem to be any readme. so I am stuck working out how to install from source
[04:55] <CM_> virtualbox is a good alternative to vmware
[04:55] <Hilikus> how do i specify a DPI for x? if gnome-settings-daemon is running it reports 100X100 dots per inch, but if its not it reports 75X75
[04:55] <kkathman> cool ok thanks - doing sudo chown and sudo chmod works fine
[04:55] <Nimby> I've installed PCMan file manager that lets me set the permissions very easily
[04:55] <Jordan_U_> ehc, You should still be able to force it to burn
[04:56] <dominion> oh... so how will I use synaptics to get it onto 7.10
[04:56] <sethk> dominion, vmware runs an o/s.  The programs that can be run depend on the o/s.
[04:56] <crdlb> dominion: System>Administration>Software Sources> Check "Multiverse"
[04:56] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: in x.log?
[04:56] <peacepipejv> theres some good stuff in the forums for virtualbox also
[04:56] <Nimby> but if I want everyone to be able to access a folder what would I put in for user / group ?
[04:56] <Fujitsu> Hilikus: System->Preferences->Appearance->Font->Details
[04:57] <slvmchn> virtualbox runs on ubuntu? can you run OSX in virtualbox?
[04:57] <cool> kkathman, thats what i said to you use at first reply :p
[04:57] <Hilikus> Fujitsu im not using gnome
[04:57] <sethk> Nimby, if you make it read/write for all, it makes no difference what user or group it's in
[04:57] <Pinpoint139> so how do I find the files to use for my seagate hard drive?
[04:57] <dominion> multiverse is already checked
[04:57] <amicrawler> rbil your my hero
[04:57] <peacepipejv> slvmchn: not yet i dont think, but soon maybe. Check the  virtualbox website
[04:57] <Fujitsu> dominion: It is not installable from Synaptic in Ubuntu 7.10 or later.
[04:57] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, in whatever you think is causing problems.
[04:57] <kkathman> cool lol - what Im saying is that there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the internals
[04:57] <zloog420> dominion: have you been messing with /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:57] <amicrawler> card not seen any more
[04:57] <kkathman> cool i.e. its a nautilus issue
[04:57] <Rian-Davide> Is there a ubuntu distro out there that comes with the restricted drivers preloaded?
[04:57] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: not that I can see.
[04:57] <Nimby> sethk it is set as root, they are windows folders and I need to stop them from being owner root
[04:57] <ehc> Can I burn an iso if my writer doesn't support DAO?
[04:57] <Rian-Davide> like linux mint?
[04:57] <rbil> amicrawler: amazing as I was taking a wild guess :-)
[04:57] <Fujitsu> Rian-Davide: No.
[04:58] <ehc> Jordan_U_, how can I force it to burn?
[04:58] <dominion> nope... i have a stock installation. except I installed compiz fusion
[04:58] <CM_> i used add/remove to find virtualbox
[04:58] <Rian-Davide> is there a website where people load their custom distros?
[04:58] <Pinpoint139> how do i search for a driver then?
[04:58] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, turn compiz off, and I'm 95% sure it will be fixed.
[04:58] <amicrawler> the freaking mac does weird thingd
[04:58] <sethk> Nimby, that's a separate question.  You can create a user/group for them, or use an existing one.  There is a user "nobody" that apache data files are owned by.
[04:58] <cool> kkathman, i will repeat same thing again "  i am not a expert in this field, do one thing one a answer ticket on launchpad  or a new thread on ubuntu forums, so that someone may look at it :)"
[04:58] <cool> :p
[04:58] <amicrawler> pin  just put in ntfs
[04:58] <sethk> Nimby, a user, and a group, is just a name.
[04:58] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: sure, if I didn't want it, the point is I want it to work
[04:58] <Jordan_U_> Rian-Davide, I know there is one for fedora "spins"
[04:58] <Pinpoint139> thank you
[04:58] <rbil> amicrawler: remember, if u need that nic in future, you'll need to remove that ine
[04:58] <Rian-Davide> ahh k
[04:58] <rbil> line
[04:59] <sethk> Nimby, you could create (or use) a user name "guest", if that makes sense.  Use something suggestive of how you want the files to be used.
[04:59] <amicrawler> rbil i hate wifi
[04:59] <Rian-Davide> I'll check out the fedore one
[04:59] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, just remember that compiz is beta. It's not stable. In some instances it will die with no regrets.
[04:59] <amicrawler> wifi is like a big black hole
[04:59] <Pinpoint139> it says it is installed though
[04:59] <zloog420> compiz is sexy tho
[04:59] <Nimby> I would have thought it being so security concious it would insist on the user/group actually being in the list of users/groups etc
[04:59] <Fujitsu> cabrioleur: Compiz is regarded as stable; that's why we have it by defualt.
[04:59] <amicrawler> did you gett all the ntfs
[05:00] <dominion> not so sexy on my integrated notebook graphic card :P
[05:00] <sethk> Nimby, no, actually, it doesn't.  However, it is of course better to use things defined
[05:00] <cabrioleur> Fujitsu, it's regarded, but it's not.
[05:00] <Fujitsu> dominion: Works fine on mine.
[05:00] <Pinpoint139> as far as i know
[05:00] <Jordan_U_> Rian-Davide, Watch out for things like "Ubuntu Ultimate" which is a dangerously put together POS
[05:00] <sethk> Nimby, otherwise you'll see numbers instead of names for user and group
[05:00] <amicrawler> i found 4 pkgs
[05:00] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, one could say the same for that minus the ultimate
[05:00] <usr13>  peacepipejv  You CAN access repos via terminal
[05:00] <Rian-Davide> lol Jordan
[05:00] <Fujitsu> bruenig: Could they now?
[05:00] <Pinpoint139> as did I
[05:00] <dominion> my laptop is pretty weak :)
[05:00] <crdlb> theacolyte: when you say "compiz fusion" what do you mean? did you install it manually or something?
[05:00] <amicrawler> and did you reboot ?
[05:01] <Rian-Davide> I tried tha ubuntu ultimate and it is a huge POS
[05:01] <peacepipejv> usr13: not me, unless Im logged in as sudo -i
[05:01] <theacolyte> crdlb: no, I use the 1click
[05:01] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, You could possibly argue that it is a "POS", but it's not dangerous
[05:01] <Pinpoint139> they were already installed though
[05:01] <peacepipejv> thats my problem
[05:01] <theacolyte> it was working
[05:01] <sethk> Nimby, some distros start user names at 1000, and some at 500, so if you cross mount among these distros, you'll see numbers instead of names at times.
[05:01] <theacolyte> before I changed the font size-- it's just weird
[05:01] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, how is ultimate "dangerous"
[05:01] <ehc> I am getting an error that my cd writer cannot burn DAO. So I try TAO and I get an error of  "probably a buffer underrun occured"
[05:01] <theacolyte> literally it was working for weeks
[05:01] <crdlb> theacolyte: the what?
[05:01] <theacolyte> font size.
[05:01] <cool> !wodim > cool
[05:01] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, Look at the update script
[05:01] <Undead_Zeu1> i have an *.x86 file, how do i execute/extract it?
[05:01] <cyborg> thank you all   ubuntu is very good
[05:01] <kasansweat> Can a wireless connection drop merely from inactivity (as opposed to a bad connection?)
[05:01] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, I don't have it off hand, perhaps you could give some synopsis
[05:02] <crdlb> theacolyte: what is "the 1click"?
[05:02] <Nimby> it insists on a password and I dont want a password at all, is there a way around that
[05:02] <amicrawler> my mac mini runs very fast with ubuntu on it only
[05:02] <peacepipejv> shold i see .synaptic when ls ~ -a?
[05:02] <bruenig> or a link
[05:02] <bruenig> peacepipejv, probably not
[05:02] <theacolyte> lol, I got it confused with suse for a second... synaptic
[05:02] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, It does apt-get --force *before the user has even been told the upgrade has started*
[05:02] <cool> cyborg, we too think so, thats why we are here, as we all aren't any paid employees  :)
[05:02] <rbil> kasansweat: shouldn't
[05:02] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, Not even a prompt
[05:03] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i execute/extract *.x86 or *.run files?
[05:03] <seak> need help with my wifi it is buildt into my laptop and i cannot get connected to any wireless internet or have the option too i have gusty 7.10
[05:03] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, oh this is some attempt at auto-update via cron or something which doesn't prompt?
[05:03] <Rian-Davide> I'll pay for someone to create a live cd for me lol
[05:03] <usr13> kasansweat: Depends on what's managing the network interfaces
[05:03] <usr13> Rian-Davide: What are you trying to do?
[05:03] <bruenig> seak, what card
[05:03] <cabrioleur> unbeatabl, go to terminal and type chmod +x nameofthefile.run, and then ./nameofthefile.run
[05:03] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, No, it's to install timidity to play music during the upgrade
[05:03] <usr13> Rian-Davide: WHat type of Live CD do you need?
[05:04] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, It's so stupid it's painfull
[05:04] <kasansweat> usr13: Hmm, interesting. would that be network-admin vs. command line? I'm trying to figure out why I have a wireless connection dropping.
[05:04] <Rian-Davide> all I want is a live cd that has drivers for my broadcom wireless card loaded, with a bit torrent client, flash etc. all I want is a live cd I can web browse with
[05:04] <cool> seak, whats your wifi card, check if its supported on linux, for this search on google with model name & linux as search keywords
[05:04] <cabrioleur> seak, are the drivers working correctly?
[05:04] <seak> i dont think i have drivers
[05:04] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i execute/extract a *.run file or a *.x86 file? It is a patch for enemy territory
[05:04] <Rian-Davide> Ive got a business laptop that I cant load ubuntu in
[05:04] <cthulfuego> sh ./foo.run
[05:04] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, it must be stupid because I am not sure it makes sense, are you saying it downloads timidity and plays music during an full fledged upgrade or normal updates or what?
[05:05] <usr13> kasansweat: Check to see what the signal looks like: iwconfig
[05:05] <seak> it is a  Atheros AR5006EG
[05:05] <cyborg> cool your ghost big and their who are similar to you
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> so I atleast want one I can use to do regular stuff
[05:05] <bulmer> Rian-Davide-> have you tried Damn Small Linux? maybe it has what you need?
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> will it work with my new laptop?
[05:05] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: There is always vmware :-)
[05:05] <madera> Hello everyone
[05:05] <cool> Rian-Davide, whats model no?, and why so?
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> ITs an hp laptop
[05:05] <madera> How can I do a surface scan on my disk?
[05:05] <kasansweat> usr13: That's what's odd. I get 100% signal strength
[05:05] <cthulfuego> madera: `badblocks'.
[05:06] <madera> cthulfuego: checking, thanks
[05:06] <cabrioleur> seak, open terminal, type "sudo lspci | grep net", and it will tell you what netcard you have.
[05:06] <usr13> kasansweat: What makes  you think that the wireless connection gets "dropped"?
[05:06] <bruenig> Rian-Davide, hp doesn't really tell us much
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> Ive got a broadcom wireless modem and a nvidia graphics card
[05:06] <bruenig> broadcom is annoying
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> its an hp pavilion dv2615nr
[05:06] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Customising a livecd isn't very hard, but it is easiest to do from a Linux system.
[05:06] <bruenig> nvidia shouldn't be a problem, although there are some cards that aren't supported, the vast majority are
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> really?
[05:07] <Rian-Davide> how do you do it?
[05:07] <seak> cabrioleur:  Atheros AR5006EG
[05:07] <kasansweat> usr13: I use that pc as an always on server. It loses its connection.
[05:07] <graelin> where can I find session configurations?
[05:07] <seak> cabrioleur: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[05:07] <Nimby> this is really annoying its such a simple thing I want to do and its like trying to learn rocket science
[05:07] <usr13> kasansweat: Could you re-phrase that?
[05:07] <cool> madera, use fsck, btw linux kernel automatically force checks it, when it completes 30 boots
[05:07] <kasansweat> usr13: as in I can't ssh to it, if I go upstairs and try to ping the router, it doesn't, etc. etc.
[05:07] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Yeah, you basically unpack the compressed filesystem to a disk, loopback mount it, install and/or remove stuff, then recompress and burn.
[05:07] <Rian-Davide> Ive looked at some of the work you have to put into it, I really dont understant alot of the code to open the live cd or how to put what I want into it
[05:07] <wasabi_> i like kopete better than pidgin. i'm running it in gnome right now and the fonts are huge. how do i adjust the kde's ui font size?
[05:07] <madera> cool: thx, but i need a surface scan
[05:07] <usr13> kasansweat: Is it a desktop PC or a laptop?
[05:08] <Rian-Davide> how do I add stuff to it?
[05:08] <kasansweat> usr13: Sorry, lets try that again. Let's call the server/computer/upstairs pc leonard - Leonard is a desktop with a wireless card
[05:08] <cthulfuego> http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/12/remaster-and-customize-ubuntu-cd-with-reconstructor.html
[05:08] <bruenig> Nimby, physics isn't too hard, especially rocket science which is basically newtonian stuff, now quantum would be hard
[05:08] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Have a look at that url.
[05:08] <Rian-Davide> thanks so much
[05:08] <difekta> can someone please tell me how to set up esd for multiple users, so that more than one user can have sound at a time?
[05:08] <cool> !fsck > madera
[05:09] <Rian-Davide> this looks promising
[05:09] <Nimby> bruenig but giving myself rights to folders I created on my own system with windows is impossible :)
[05:09] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: np
[05:09]  * madera thinks ubuntu will give Microsoft some headaches
[05:09] <bruenig> Nimby, what are you doing?
[05:09] <cabrioleur> seak, looks like you will have to install ndiswrapper
[05:09] <madera> cool: are you implying that fsck does hardware tests? I dont think so
[05:09] <Rian-Davide> thanks sooooooooooooooooo much!!!!
[05:09] <kasansweat> usr13: I've done this setup before, with an old laptop..connection stayed up forever, no problem. I used it as a fileserver and ran sshfs through it, everything was cool. Am trying to recreate that, but it appears as if Leonard is dropping the connection.
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> sh et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> sh: Can't open et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> What is the problem here?
[05:10] <JohnMM> the only hardware test fsck does is a filesystem check
[05:10] <Rian-Davide> someone told me this reconstructor wasnt for gutsy gibbon
[05:10] <amicrawler> chmod the file
[05:10] <cthulfuego> madera: if you want to run hardware checks, use smartctl.
[05:10] <Nimby> bruenig I am trying to allow myself to write to folders on hd's made with windows on dual boot pc
[05:10] <amicrawler> undead do a chmod a+rx and file
[05:10] <cool> madera, what did you mean by hardware tests, i didn't get you :S
[05:10] <usr13> kasansweat: What OS is on it?
[05:10] <Undead_Zeu1> ok
[05:10] <Undead_Zeu1> thanks amicrawler
[05:10] <amicrawler> then try again
[05:10] <bruenig> Nimby, are you using ntfs-3g?
[05:10] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, the file isn't in the current directory, or it isn't readable by the current user
[05:10] <madera> cthulfuego: I'm running badblocks now... its going nuts
[05:10] <kasansweat> usr13: Ubuntu
[05:10] <cool> madera, fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer
[05:10] <sethk> amicrawler, that's not necessary for the sh filename   form
[05:10] <usr13> kasansweat: What OS is on lenoard
[05:11] <sethk> amicrawler, the chmod +x is only necessary to run a script without specifying the script interpreter
[05:11] <graelin> where can I find session configuration files?
[05:11] <bruenig> cool, I thought it was FilesyStem cheCKer
[05:11] <amicrawler> oh ok
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> well that didn't work either
[05:11] <amicrawler> i'v all ways used it
[05:11] <Nimby> bruenig is that the ntfs config tool ?
[05:11] <cthulfuego> madera: Not running it on a mounted fs, right?
[05:11] <madera> cool: Im afraid I dont need to check the filesystem, rather the surface of the disk. Google for Surface scan ;-)
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> i also have two *.x86 files to substitute this *.run file
[05:11] <madera> cthulfuego: no :)
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i use those to patch what i am patching?
[05:11] <kasansweat> usr13: ubuntu is on leonard. and everything else I use that touches the net. No other os's here to speak of.
[05:11] <bruenig> Nimby, ntfs-config tool is some POS python front end, don't trust POS ubuntu python front ends, use them for convenience but understand what they are "supposed" to be doing
[05:11] <bruenig> Nimby, pastebin /etc/fstab
[05:11] <usr13> kasansweat: Is lenard set to static IP
[05:12] <sethk> amicrawler, it doesn't hurt to do the chmod +x, but, if you preceed the script name by "sh", it has absolutely no effect.  The +x allows you to run the script as xyz, rather than sh xyz
[05:12] <amicrawler> undead try  sudo chmod a+rx and file
[05:12] <Parsi> hi
[05:12] <amicrawler> ok
[05:12] <Rian-Davide> Thank you everyone for the help and info tonight
[05:12] <cool> madera, yes ok i miss understood you :)
[05:12] <Rian-Davide> youve been great
[05:12] <kasansweat> usr13: No, but I've set my router to give it the same address every time
[05:12] <bruenig> sh links to dash anyways, you probably should use bash
[05:12] <scguy318> bruenig: like Envy :P
[05:12] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, in unix/linux, the name of the file does not indicate what type of file it is.  There is a command, "file", which you can use to determine what the file type is.
[05:12] <madera> =o)
[05:13] <Undead_Zeu1> what is the syntax of chmod?
[05:13] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, a .bin is typically a binary executable, but it could be a shell script.
[05:13] <Undead_Zeu1> Oh, sethk.. i will do that
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: chmod octalpermor+-permchar /path/tofile
[05:13] <madera> thx all, I'll continue watching The Ultimate Fighter now while my server is being installed =o)
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: like chmod 777 myfile
[05:13] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, chmod sets permissions for owner (u, or user), group (g), and other (a, for all)
[05:13] <cool> !chmod | Undead_Zeu1
[05:13] <ubotu> Undead_Zeu1: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: or chmod +rwx myfile
[05:13] <Parsi> i downloaded a .gz packe, it contains two files "cube_unix" and "autoexec.cfg" and some folders. how do i must install it?
[05:13] <cabrioleur> Undead_Zeu1, man chmod :-)
[05:14] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, so,    chmod a+rw filename    sets filename to be read/write for all users
[05:14] <seak> usr13: hey will u help me with my wifi?
[05:14] <nerve> is selinux enabled by default in ubuntu?
[05:14] <bruenig> the octal perm is actually 4 digits wide, 0777
[05:14] <nerve> and if so, is there a way to check if its currently on?
[05:14] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, chmod +x    is shorthand for    chmod u+x
[05:14] <Nimby> bruenig I ran it and set write permissions and now I can access the folders, thanks for taking the time to reply :-)
[05:14] <bruenig> sethk, +x is short for a+x and short for ugo+x
[05:14] <bruenig> sethk, u+x is just user
[05:14] <sethk> bruenig, right
[05:15] <Parsi> i downloaded a .gz package, it contains two files "cube_unix" and "autoexec.cfg" and some folders. how do i must install it?
[05:15] <bruenig> Nimby, I didn't really do anything but alright
[05:15] <sethk> bruenig, got my u and a crossed there  :)
[05:15] <Undead_Zeu1> what is the linux name for chdir/ch?
[05:15] <bruenig> Undead_Zeu1, cd
[05:15] <Undead_Zeu1> Ar, that was it! Thank you
[05:15] <amicrawler> undead  the .run or .sh are nomaly run in the shell
[05:16] <Undead_Zeu1> well it didn't work, but sh file.run did
[05:16] <amicrawler> sethk  to run a binary  do i do a ./example
[05:16] <usr13> seak: Yes
[05:16] <sethk> amicrawler, the filename has no semantic significance.  You don't know what type of file it is unless you use the "file" command, or if it's a script you look at the beginning of it.
[05:16] <ToddEDM> whats the command to get the advanced desktop config
[05:16] <cool> Undead_Zeu1, might be helpful to you http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l6/lesson6b.html
[05:16] <usr13> seak: iwconfig
[05:17] <sethk> amicrawler, and, NO, you do ./filename  to run ANY command.  That's the whole point of the original UNIX; you aren't supposed to have to care about whether it's a program, a script, etc.
[05:17] <sethk> The syntax is consistent regardless of the underlying mechanism
[05:18] <lee_> can somebody help me? when I boot linux all the scsi drives seem to randomly get a different device label and then mount in different places
[05:18] <amicrawler> humm my 1st OS  i ran was unix freebsd 4.3
[05:18] <Nimby> bruenig I make a point of letting people that the help they gave, no matter how small made a difference, nothing worse than not knowing if you were wasting your time or not :)
[05:18] <paradigm9x> Has anyone been able to obtain a copy of the old BitchX script, crackrock?
[05:18] <paradigm9x> i cannot seem to find it online
[05:18] <amicrawler> where there was a mount /mount systemstand
[05:18] <Parsi> any one has installed "cube" game?
[05:18] <bruenig> Nimby, there is worse, this is worse actually: http://pastebin.ca/743667
[05:19] <cool> lee_, are you using uuid ?
[05:19] <lockd> Parsi: cube as in sauerbraten?
[05:19] <amicrawler> or to add files was pkg_add and example
[05:19] <cabrioleur> Parsi, I think cube is an engine
[05:19] <cool> !uuid > lee_
[05:19] <lee_> cool, how can I tell
[05:19] <Parsi> yes
[05:19] <Parsi> how to install?
[05:19] <Parsi> there is 2 files
[05:19] <lee_> I am using gutsy
[05:19] <Parsi> and some folders
[05:19] <cool> lee_, check pm from ubotu
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: can you run it first?
[05:20] <srid> how do I make the gnome 'cpu freq scalling monitor applet' set power schemes like 'ondemand'?
[05:20] <Parsi> i can't do enything!
[05:20] <amicrawler> sethk  but i like linux better  then bsd free
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: what files?
[05:20] <Parsi> *anything!
[05:20] <amicrawler> and the .deb files
[05:20] <amicrawler> pkg
[05:20] <Parsi> lockd: cube_unix
[05:20] <lee_> http://pastebin.com/m154f8c9e
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: and?
[05:20] <Parsi> file lists: autoexec.cfg  cube_unix  demos  packages     savegames
[05:20] <Parsi> bin_unix      data       docs   readme.html  screenshots
[05:21] <lockd> Parsi: you said 2 files
[05:21] <Parsi> yes
[05:21] <Parsi> and folders
[05:21] <cthulfuego> How about looking at readme.html?
[05:21] <peacepipejv> help, cant update repos unless logged in as sudo -i (err 111 connection refused)
[05:21] <cthulfuego> or the contents of docs/ ?
[05:21] <Parsi> lockd: these was files and folders.
[05:21] <lee_> ubotu: did you get that
[05:21] <lockd> Parsi: well, try to chmod a+x cube_unix and then ./cube_unix
[05:21] <Parsi> lockd: config.html  editing.html  editref.html  game.html  history.html  pics
[05:22] <Fujitsu> paradigm9x: Please don't use BitchX; we've tried to get it removed, but can't, due to huge security holes.
[05:22] <cthulfuego> Parsi: Open and read the files, don'
[05:22] <cthulfuego> t paste their names here.
[05:22] <Parsi> cube_unix is a file
[05:22] <Nimby> LOL, bruenig I think this applies to more than just software and users :) ---- “Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.”
[05:22] <cool> !ubotu> lee_
[05:22] <cabrioleur> lee_, if it's built-in hd, change fstab file, and if not, right click on the disc icon and change the mount point to the name you desire.
[05:22] <paradigm9x> Fujitsu: really?  I did not know this.  What do you recommend?
[05:22] <Parsi> guys, am new to ubuntu
[05:22] <Fujitsu> paradigm9x: irssi is the recommended replacement.
[05:22] <lockd> Parsi: yes, is it a program?
[05:23] <Parsi> yes
[05:23] <cool> lee_, ubotu is a bot perhaps
[05:23] <difekta> how can i allow multiple users to play sound at once?
[05:23] <sethk> he's gone!!  My cool answer is wasted !!!  :)
[05:23] <lee_> oh ok
[05:23] <lockd> cool: ubotu is a bot certainly
[05:23] <lee_> cab: they are permanent drives they only started doing this since I installed gibson
[05:23] <cabrioleur> difekta, invest in polypaudio
[05:24] <difekta> not pulseaudio?
[05:24] <sethk> Nimby, no, you guys are missing the point.   See "The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kernigan and Pike.  (I'm spelling Kernigan wrong but you'll find it anyway.)
[05:24] <cabrioleur> It used to be polyp :-) sorry. nostalgia...
[05:24] <lee_> cool, I think I am using uuid
[05:24] <sethk> Nimby, has absolutely nothing to do with idiots, pro or con.  UNIX (and its clone, LINUX) was designed as a programming environment.  It's only accidentally used as an O/S.
[05:24] <Nimby> sethk I was replying to an example bruenig had sent me
[05:25] <difekta> what is polyaudio?
[05:25] <ShakaGoldSaint> hi there, i'm trying to install the fglrx 8.43 driver in ubuntu gusty, but after i installed it i get this message "libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file" when i run fglrxinfo or glxinfo and i can't get 3d to work
[05:25] <sethk> Nimby, oh, ok, sorry  :)
[05:25] <paradigm9x> its a great programming environment
[05:25] <cabrioleur> difekta, polypaudio = pulseaudio
[05:25] <sethk> paradigm9x, absolutely
[05:25] <difekta> ah!
[05:25] <Nimby> its when your parrot gets a iPod for christmas
[05:25] <Fujitsu> ShakaGoldSaint: We can't support you if you've done things like that.
[05:25] <sethk> paradigm9x, it also turned out to run 4x the speed of the original O/S on the pdp11
[05:26] <cool> lee_,  blkid just list your uuid's, it does not mean you are using them, to use them edit your /etc/fstab :)
[05:26] <ShakaGoldSaint> Fujitsu, i see
[05:26] <difekta> is pulseaudio relatively easy to set up?
[05:26] <difekta> i'm installing the package right now.
[05:26] <sethk> those of you who have never been subjected to DEC operating systems can't totally appreciate unix.  Windows is bad (and M$ hired a lot of the people who developed VMS for DEC), but not nearly as bad.  :)
[05:26] <lee_> cool, so I should use uuid in place of the device name
[05:27] <shenron> hey I'm having some wifi driver issues with my new Acer Aspire 5520
[05:27] <shenron> it is an atheros card, and all of the kernel modules are running, but iwconfig says that there are no wifi interfaces
[05:27] <cthulfuego> sethk: I had some war stories, but I dunno if they're in WARSTORY.TXT;1 or WARSTORY.TXT;1632 or in between :-P
[05:27] <cool> lee_, yes and comment the device by putting # unfront of it
[05:28] <lee_> ok kool
[05:28] <cool> lee_, so that you remember which device it is
[05:28] <hdevalence> how would I go about recovering a deleted file?
[05:28] <bulmer> sethk-> did digital have their own punch card machines?
[05:28] <lee_> example would be "442aeed4-e60f-4ec2-a299-4cfda0ed85ee /mnt ext3 rw"
[05:28] <sethk> cthulfuego, a recruiter asked me today if I know anything about Pick O/S.  I lied and said no.  :)  (Pick originated that versioning scheme, so helpfully adopted by DEC.)  :)
[05:28] <dfeeser> this looks just about the same.
[05:28] <sethk> bulmer, I don't believe so, no.
[05:29] <shenron> ath_pci, wlan, and ath_hal are loaded (says lsmod), but iwconfig says that both lo and eth2 have no wireless extensions
[05:29]  * cthulfuego stabs VMS until it's very very dead
[05:29] <shenron> its got me a bit confused
[05:29] <sethk> bulmer, Every punch card machine I ever used was IBM.  Man those were actually very impressive mechanical beasts.  Thank god we don't have to use them anymore ...
[05:29] <lee_> cool, putting the comment won't be useful since the device name keeps changing ;P
[05:29] <bulmer> sethk or drop the cards :)
[05:29] <ppmi> Hello Everyone!
[05:29] <shenron> anyone have any ideas?
[05:30] <sethk> bulmer, you take a magic marker and draw a diagonal line on the stack of cards, so you can get them back in order.  :)
[05:30] <ppmi> Can anyone tell me that how can i enable DMA for my SATA Hard Drive?
[05:30] <bulmer> sethk ahh there's a trick i have not experienced..hehe
[05:30] <sethk> ppmi, hdparm does it for IDE drives.  I believe it can be used with SATA also, but I'm not certain.
[05:30] <lee_> thanks cool
[05:31] <ppmi> sethk, Hmm
[05:31] <ppmi> Can anyone else tell me about DMA for SATA?
[05:31] <difekta> anyone know how to set up pulseaudio?
[05:32] <difekta> the wiki page on it is empty, even though it has a cached google version.
[05:32] <shenron> does anyone have any ideas about my wifi card
[05:33] <dominion_> can someone please send me the link for the guide on installing from source. I was using one earlier from the ubuntu support site, but can't find it now
[05:33] <bulmer> shenron-> is it detected by the network manager?
[05:33] <shenron> no
[05:33] <shenron> just wired and modem connections
[05:34] <bulmer> iwconfig -a shows it?
[05:34] <shenron> -a says -a No such device
[05:34] <bulmer> rather iwconfig
[05:34] <shenron> but, iwconfig says
[05:34] <shenron> eth2 no wireless extensions
[05:34] <shenron> it says the same for lo
[05:35] <shenron> I'm sure it has wifi, it was working fine in windows
[05:35] <bulmer> which chip does your wifi have?
[05:35] <shenron> 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[05:36] <riotkittie> anyone know offhand what samba's default port is?
[05:36] <bulmer> does the driver name for it appears in /proc/driver?
[05:36] <stephen> hmmmm
[05:36] <shenron> actually /proc/driver is empty
[05:36] <shenron> oh
[05:36] <shenron> stupid me
[05:37] <tarsin> i am trying to use make menuconfig with my kernel. it is failing with scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:32:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory.  I've installed libncurses5.  any ideas why its failing?
[05:37] <shenron> nvidia  rtc  snd-page-alloc
[05:37] <shenron> thats whats in the directory
[05:37] <Ramphis> Good evening.
[05:37] <dominion_> what do I do with a .pl file?
[05:37] <bulmer> i expect your wifi driver to appear on that directory
[05:37] <Ashfire908> pl is perl i think
[05:37] <bulmer> driver name configs rather
[05:37] <cthulfuego> tarsin: You need libncurses5-dev
[05:37] <riotkittie> tarsin: did you install libncurses5-dev?  [or whatever[
[05:37] <Ramphis> I need help please
[05:37] <riotkittie> oh im slow.
[05:38] <cthulfuego> slooow lazy kitty
[05:38] <tarsin> cthulfuego, riotkittie, thanks. not sure.. i will check now
[05:38] <dominion_> has anyone installed vmware player from source? I have unpacked it.. but can't get any further
[05:38] <cthulfuego> dominion_: perl foo.pl
[05:38] <sethk> tarsin, you have to install the development part of ncurses.
[05:38] <peacepipejv> hey, found a bunch of these in my sources list. (# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:) Does it seem weird? Has anyone seen this?
[05:38] <cthulfuego> dominion_: sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[05:38] <shenron> well, why isn't it there bulmer
[05:38] <digin4> strange, the default nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers manager gives me a lot of bugs
[05:38] <sethk> tarsin, search for curses in synaptic, and install the stuff with -dev in the name
[05:39] <Ramphis> I installed Compiz and it's working ok, but my ethernet stopped and i cannot connect to inet anymore :S and I dont know why :S ...
[05:39] <cthulfuego> dominion_: Btw, the player is packaged in Ubuntu.
[05:39] <tarsin> excellent.. it works now. thanks
[05:39] <digin4> it isntalls nvidia-glx-new, i had to install nvidia-glx manually to fix that!
[05:39] <sethk> digin4, and at no extra charge, too
[05:39] <yurimxpxman> is there an option in apache to not log requests from localhost or your own public IP address?
[05:39] <digin4> sethk, haha that's the greatest thing ;)
[05:39] <dominion_> that's what someone else said. but they also said it was for 7.04 and below
[05:39] <bulmer> shenron i dont know,  anything also shows in  /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/  ?
[05:39] <digin4> dominion, I'm using 7.10
[05:39] <foso> anyone know how to change the bg color for the splash screen?
[05:39] <b1n42y> hi all, getting rid of ubuntu from laptop...installing Xp tablet version ...grub still loads with error 17 ....
[05:40] <digin4> dominion, i guess it happens only with hp laptops and nvidia go cards
[05:40] <Ramphis> foso in the screen options
[05:40] <dominion_> digin4: did you install it from the repository?
[05:40] <shenron> ya there's tons of stuff in that directory bulmer, but its incomprehesible
[05:40] <cabrioleur> shenron, use ndiswrapper with this card.
[05:40] <b1n42y> i cant get into winblows or ubuntu any ideas ?
[05:40] <shenron> cabrioleur, it should ahve linux drivers though
[05:40] <digin4> dominion_, yeah using synaptic
[05:40] <shenron> since its atheros
[05:40] <foso> ramphis where is that?
[05:40] <paradigm9x> b1n42y - from DOS, format /mbr should erase the Master Boot Record
[05:40] <dominion_> digin4: I tried searching with diff terms in synaptics and nothing came up
[05:41] <bulmer> shenron-> look for the driver that matches your chips and should appear on that dir
[05:41] <sethk> paradigm9x, fdisk /mbr, not format /mbr
[05:41] <imbecile> anyone have any idea where to get awn for gutsy?
[05:41] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: and how do i get into dos
[05:41] <digin4> dominion_, you're facing the same problem?
[05:41] <paradigm9x> ack yes. my apologies
[05:41] <cabrioleur> shenron, yeah, it does have mad, but afaik it has problems with your card.
[05:41] <paradigm9x> b1n42y - Do you have a boot disc or boot CD?
[05:41] <shenron> oh :/
[05:41] <sethk> paradigm9x, actually, I should apologise for getting a dos command right  :)
[05:42] <Ramphis> Foso nearby your administration tools at the top bar
[05:42] <Ramphis> seach for it
[05:42] <Ramphis> I installed Compiz and it's working ok, but my ethernet stopped and i cannot connect to inet anymore :S and I dont know why :S ...
[05:42] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: i have one of those preinstalled systems in a hidden partition with a recovery cd
[05:42] <shenron> cabrioleur, atheros says it is supported
[05:42] <shenron> for this chip
[05:42] <foso> ramphis- sorry, i dont see it
[05:43] <Ramphis> hmm... weird
[05:44] <Ramphis> Who knows about why my ethernet is not working? :S
[05:44] <Ramphis> I'm confused :S I dont want to use Windows anymore!!
[05:44] <cabrioleur> shenron, then make sure you have madwifi installed.
[05:44] <foso> ive tried all the gui things i can find, i cant find it in any config files either
[05:44] <paradigm9x> b1n42y: are you able to get into the Grub menu?
[05:45] <imbecile> anyone have any idea where to get awn for gutsy?
[05:45] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: ney
[05:46] <square[]> what happened to the screensaver configuration dialog?

[05:46] <cabrioleur> imbecile, compile from sources :-) ha ha ha
[05:46] <Dr_willis> I though i found some repos that had awn. (or some packages at least)
[05:47] <Dr_willis> Of course i found awn lacking in many ways.
[05:47] <imbecile> yeah im looking 4 em' getdeb link doesnt work
[05:47] <Jordan_U_> square[], You mean preferences for individual screensavers or simply no dialog there at all?

[05:55] <digin4> Jordan_U_, yes
[05:55] <Jordan_U_> digin4, Known bug that's been in nvidia's drivers for a long time
[05:55] <digin4> Jordan_U_, any fix for it?
[05:55] <crdlb> it's "fixed" in nvidia-glx-new :/
[05:55] <cabrioleur> Ramphis, answer question first. Is it connecting to the gate? or maybe it just does not download anything? or something else? explain your question.
[05:55] <Ramphis> Ok
[05:55] <digin4> crdlb, nvidia-glx-new gives me lots of bugs...
[05:56] <crdlb> digin4: what exact model do you have?
[05:56] <Jordan_U_> digin4, There is a workaround that makes compiz slower, can't remember it though
[05:56] <digin4> crdlb, go 7200
[05:56] <cabrioleur> digin4, you should see how many bugs the original drivers will give you...

[05:57] <digin4> cabrioleur, can't find a guide for installing original drivers on 7.10
[05:57] <cabrioleur> turn off X's and run the script :-)
[05:57] <cabrioleur> NVidia drivers are sweeeeet. But ubuntu hates them.
[05:57] <Ramphis> First of all, my router is a SpeedTouch 536, I was using my ethernet as normal till one day I work on Ubuntu and when I open the explorer it doesnt get into any website. The yellow light flicks as normal :S but not answer, no packets at all from the router. What do you mean with the gate?
[05:57] <digin4> cabrioleur, heh okay ;P
[05:57] <joules> Jordan_U_:  hey thanks that works! .. i think
[05:58] <peacepipejv> Jordan_U: cant update as sudo, only as root (sudo -i)
[05:58] <Jordan_U_> peacepipejv, What happens when you try to update with sudo?
[05:59] <peacepipejv> Jordan: err 111 connection refused
[05:59] <cabrioleur> I lost my last cigarette! Help!
[05:59] <weltschmerz> how do i configure my sound settings to use pulseaudio?
[05:59] <Jordan_U_> peacepipejv, If this is a company computer you may have a sysadmin who thinks he's clever by restricting access to apt-get but should be slapped for allowing access to bash as root :)
[06:00] <peacepipejv> Jordan_U- its not
[06:00] <Jordan_U_> weltschmerz, There is a page on the pulseaudio site that describes "the perfect setup"
[06:00] <aoeuid> does anyone here what I could use to do real time equalizer magic on the audio coming out of my speakers? (eg remove all frequencies from 122-123 Hz?)
[06:00] <aoeuid> <<
[06:01] <ubuntu234> Does anyone here know the prefered location for the C++ boost libraries on ubuntu linux?
[06:01] <Ramphis> Carbrioleur, what can I do? :S I'm lost! :****
[06:01] <cabrioleur> peacepipejv, just something stupid. Go to your user configuration wizard-like-gui and check if you have permission to mess with apt.
[06:01] <Ramphis> I cannot live with an OS without inet !! :S at all
[06:01] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: nevermind..i found an illegal copy of winblows .got to the recovery console ...fixmbr ....and its looking good so far ...waiting for 1st reboot
[06:01] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: whats your problem :)
[06:02] <Ramphis> Ubuntu234 ... my ethernet, i mean :S Ubuntu doesn't get my router :S
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> b1n42y, Just so you know you don't need to break the law to restore a windows MBR :)
[06:02] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: alright, do you have access to that machine while you are speaking here?
[06:02] <Ramphis> and the yellow light flicks as normal as it is connected, but ubuntu doesnt recieve any package from it
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> Ramphis, can you pastebin the output of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> ?
[06:02] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: you will need to open a terminal, look in accessories
[06:03] <Ramphis> No sir :S, i dont have access to internet while im on ubuntu
[06:03] <peacepipejv> cabrioleur: I should have adm priveleges
[06:03] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: alright can you get at that machine right now?
[06:03] <Ramphis> Ok, i will paste the steps to a note, and i will do it and then i will inform you
[06:03] <Jordan_U_> Ramphis, You can save it and paste it after rebooting
[06:03] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: pitty u werent hear earlier
[06:03] <ubuntu234> If so please do as Jordan_U_ requested :)
[06:03] <b1n42y> here*
[06:04] <Ramphis> yup, i know... so what should i do in the terminal?
[06:04] <ubuntu234> (01:02:43 AM) Jordan_U_: Ramphis, can you pastebin the output of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[06:04] <Ramphis> Ok BRB
[06:04] <ubuntu234> (without quotes)
[06:04] <Jordan_U_> b1n42y, The package is "ms-sys" for future reference
[06:04] <peacepipejv> cabrioleur: how would ZI check apt permission
[06:04] <ubuntu234> alright anyone here has a clue on where boost should go on ubuntu?
[06:05] <Jordan_U_> ubuntu234, What are you trying to do?
[06:05] <tarsin> lynx okcupid
[06:05] <tarsin> woot mistype
[06:05] <tarsin> haha
[06:05] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: i deleted ubuntu...tried installing my pre installed win xp tab version and grub wasnt recognizing win partitions
[06:05] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: well I'd like to get the C++ boost libraries on ubuntu if at all possible :)
[06:05] <backtoheaven> i've install the ubuntu, and i got the sound error. the sound repeat forever..
[06:06] <backtoheaven> e.g) ba ba bam~ -> ba ba ba ba x forever
[06:06] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: ms-sys ...ok i'll possibly look into that for future reference
[06:06] <cthulfuego> past the inevitable heat death of the universe? pretty impressive.
[06:06] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: thanks
[06:06] <Jordan_U_> ubuntu234, Looks like there are relevent packages inthe repositories
[06:07] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: yeah, only for about 14 of them, seems like it has the ones that need compiling done for me, but what I"m interested in is where to put the remaining header only files.
[06:07] <ubuntu234> Is there a standard location for that on ubuntu?
[06:07] <Jordan_U_> backtoheaven, Is this the "pcspeaker" do you think, or the actual sound card?
[06:08] <techqbert> will truecrypt ever be added to the ubuntu repos?
[06:08] <backtoheaven> Jordan_U_: Actual sound card..
[06:08] <backtoheaven> I use the Realtek ALC883 (oss mixer)
[06:08] <Dethlok> is downloading movie torrents dangerous?  or any torrents for that matter
[06:08] <Jordan_U_> backtoheaven, Any reason you aren't using ALSA?
[06:09] <backtoheaven> Jordan_U_: Alsa driver also installed
[06:09] <cthulfuego> Dethlok: If they're legal downloads, not at all.
[06:09] <aoeuid> illegal too :P
[06:09] <Jordan_U_> Dethlok, Not if they are in the public domain ;)
[06:09] <ubuntu234> Dethlok: legally perhaps, but I doubt you will catch much nasty things.
[06:09] <cthulfuego> Dethlok: If they're not legal, not at all (but completely not on topic here)

[06:10] <Cryx> Anyone using Cisco vpnclient for linux here? I have it on my system and i have huge problems with timeout part of the configuration file. If i change it with nano, it just ignores the changes on next vpnclient connect
[06:10] <MinusSeven> Hello
[06:10] <ubuntu234> ehc cdrecord is now wodim\
[06:10] <cthulfuego> primary: The development version does, the packaged one does not (afaik)
[06:10] <backtoheaven> There's two device that detected : Realtek ALC883 (OSS mixer) , and HDA ATI SB(ALSA Mixer)
[06:10] <Creed> Can someone help me get my sound working? I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to do it...and yes its not muted.
[06:10] <ubuntu234> try doing it with wodim instead
[06:10] <Jordan_U_> primary, I believe the absolute newest ( possibly beta ) version does
[06:10] <savi0r666> hey seem to be having a problem
[06:10] <MinusSeven> How do I have Ubuntu automatically mount a hard drive partition at startup?
[06:10] <subpar> I tried install glgo, an when i type glgo inside terminal, it can't find the program. I've tried the rpm, deb package and shell script, nothing works
[06:10] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven, see fstab
[06:11] <MinusSeven> ok
[06:11] <savi0r666> ubuntu wont mount the hard drive on this machine when i boot into the disc how can i fix this
[06:11] <MinusSeven> just that when I found something, it said Ubuntu is only capable of opening a NTFS drive as read only
[06:11] <savi0r666> or it dont recognize any partitions and cant see anything in the partition manager
[06:11] <Jordan_U_> savi0r666, What type of drive?
[06:11] <Creed> Can someone help me get my sound working? I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to do it...and yes its not muted.

[06:12] <ubuntu234> savi0r666: should not matter
[06:12] <Jordan_U_> MinusSeven, That is old info, Linux has been able to safely mount ntfs rw for a while
[06:12] <MinusSeven> ok,
[06:12] <Jordan_U_> !ntfs-3g | MinusSeven
[06:12] <ubotu> MinusSeven: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:12] <MinusSeven> I worked out I can have windows share the same mail folder as linux
[06:12] <savi0r666> also the computer is a hp pavillion but its got the amd processor should i be using the amd ubuntu or the standard desktop

[06:13] <primary> I downloaded the source for the new libgpod, but I don't know how to compile it. Can anyone assist?
[06:14] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven: correct, for automount, you need to set it up in your fstab, unless ubuntu has something fancy that I don't know about

[06:14] <ubuntu234> though I'd suggest looking at apt-get
[06:14] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: ah alright, thanks :)
[06:14] <cabrioleur> Creed, details
[06:15] <riotkittie> hm. i seem to recall 'clear -h' clearing the terminal and the history but it doesnt seem to want to do it here. boo.
[06:15] <primary> ubuntu234: I tried apt-get, no luck. I don't know what "make "means
[06:15] <ubuntu234> primary: alright where are the files on your computer?
[06:15] <ubuntu234> Open up a terminal, type in cd /path/to/directory
[06:15] <riotkittie> primary: install build-essential from the repos
[06:15] <penyu> hiii
[06:15] <riotkittie> primary: you are going to need the files BE will install to compile :P
[06:15] <MystaMax_> hello, I'm having this weird problem where I ubuntu is reading blank CD-R's and DVD-R's, but not DVD+DL? any reason why?
[06:16] <cabrioleur> riotkittie, "reset"?
[06:16] <Creed> cabrioleur, what kind of details?
[06:16] <nemik> primary: i think it's libboost-dev
[06:16] <savi0r666> give me one momnet, im starting it up
[06:16] <riotkittie> cabrioleur: ehh. no. well, reset works as well, i guess. :T
[06:16] <sauvin> "DL"?
[06:16] <ubuntu234> primary: if you can get it from the repos, its better that way
[06:16] <MinusSeven> I installed ntfs-config
[06:17] <ubuntu234> otherwise ./configure && make && make install
[06:17] <MinusSeven> which made it very easy
[06:17] <cabrioleur> Creed, details about your problem. Card manufacturer, system, drivers, credit card number, SSN and date of birth.
[06:17] <MinusSeven> it added the entry to fstab
[06:17] <SoundChaser> Anyone good with terminal fonts & aterm?
[06:17] <ma1> i have googleearth.bin file how do i install it ?
[06:17] <MinusSeven> i'll reboot in a minute
[06:17] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven: :)
[06:17] <MystaMax_> ma1: double click it
[06:17] <MinusSeven> too easy
[06:17] <weltschmerz> Jordan_U_ can you send me a link to that page about pulseaudio?
[06:17] <MinusSeven> if my brains were dynamite, I wouldn't have enough to flip a coin
[06:18] <ma1> mystamax:is not installing, is there another wya
[06:18] <primary> Alright, when I try to configure it (after installing build-essential), it says "No package glib-2.0 found", "No package gobject-2.0 found", and some other stuff.
[06:18] <MystaMax_> im not sure what your trying 2 do
[06:18] <cabrioleur> I found my missing cigarette! I'm saved!
[06:18] <Jordan_U_> weltschmerz, http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
[06:18] <ubuntu234> primary, go through the repos, see if you can find those files (use synaptic if you can)
[06:18] <SoundChaser> cabrioleur, dang I hate it when I can't find my smokes...
[06:18] <Creed> cabrioleur, cs4231 is the sound card, system is a dell workstation 41 (ancient i know, its a server though), drivers..modprobe doesnt seem to do anything...credit card number 421HEY! :)
[06:19] <Jordan_U_> cabrioleur, SoundChaser Quit the cancer sticks :)
[06:19] <ma1> i have a bin file how do i install it ?
[06:19] <thor_> primary: you need the 'devel' packages for glib and such. make sure they are installed also
[06:19] <MinusSeven> brb
[06:19] <Jordan_U_> ma1, Most likely, you don't :) What are you trying to install?
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Jordan_U_, and die from stress (I'm a soldier)

[06:20] <MystaMax_> ma1, search google for "how to install google earth on ubuntu"

[06:25] <chris__> anyone using UbuntuCE and Firefox
[06:26] <thor_> primary: you need to look through the errors, probably right there when they start, and try to figure out what is missing
[06:26] <savi0r666> hey someone i need help with a ubuntu install its not recognizing or mounting the drive
[06:26] <cabrioleur> does your lsmod display snd-cs4231?
[06:26] <savi0r666> cant see its partitions or anything
[06:26] <Creed> cabrioleur, doing that doesnt give any feedback, just does it and puts me back to terminal on a new line.

[06:53] <joshua__> ok
[06:53] <fragile> yeah, I didn't realize it but you're having a problem with visudo so it's not a file permission problem

[07:00] <Flannel> savi0r666: it's free help from volunteers who may have busy schedules
[07:00] <sauvin> joshua, I can't see a damn thing wrong with that sudoers file.

[07:01] <SoundChaser> savi0r666, at least you've been helped - no one's been able to take a stab at my question so far...  (Not that it's really within the normal scope of this channel anyway -- 'twas hoping someone might have a thought though...)
[07:01] <sauvin> Something else is wrong, maybe. I can't see any difference between your sudoers file and mine.
[07:01] <sauvin> Bad EOL, maybe?
[07:01] <fragile> joshua__: take a look at mine.. it's a little different than yours.
[07:01] <joshua__> I had a samba application installed last night and I enetered a pass word for our nt server and it changed the fsudoers file
[07:02] <joshua__> eol?
[07:02] <Flannel> savi0r666: Does your BIOS see the drive?

[07:03] <joshua__> fragile: will your sudoers file mess up my old root password?
[07:03] <SoundChaser> cool - lol
[07:04] <Flannel> joshua__: No, theyre completely separate things
[07:04] <fragile> definitely shouldn't, joshua__
[07:04] <joshua__> Flannel:  I thought so but figured I would ask
[07:04] <fragile> there's only one line difference that I saw, too.
[07:04] <sauvin> What's that?
[07:04] <fragile> let me get the pages back up
[07:05] <RipSUp> I have nxclient connecting to another machine, is there any way to bring up an app that's already open in that new session through nx
[07:05] <Flannel> joshua__: what errors were you having with sudo anyway?
[07:05] <joshua__> Well earlier today I pastebin what it originally looked like, i deleted all the SMB4k changes that were in it, by the way can I search the pastebin for the old entries?
[07:06] <joshua__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45886/ lines 1-13
[07:06] <fragile> actually joshua__, there's no difference just some things in different placed, but they're the same file.
[07:06] <joshua__> what about the  %
[07:06] <cool> joshua__, also enable sudo insults, you when you type a wrong password it will give nice quotes :p
[07:07] <sauvin> You talking about %admin? that's in my sudoers, too.
[07:07] <brandon_> hey guys I need help with wine can someone help me?
[07:07] <sauvin> Whatever it is that's responsible for reading the sudoers file, could IT be b0rked?
[07:07] <fragile> what about what %? there's two by default, admin, and the other commented out.
[07:07] <joshua__> cool: whats the command for insults?\
[07:08] <cool> joshua__, this should help you http://www.bani.com.br/2007/01/17/sudo-insults/
[07:08] <joshua__> sauvin:  should I run a diff on the two files somehow?
[07:08] <Flannel> joshua__: add 'insults' to Defaults

[07:18] <joshua__>   e(x)it without saving changes to sudoers file
[07:18] <joshua__>   (Q)uit and save changes to sudoers file (DANGER!)
[07:18] <joshua__> What now?
[07:18] <JNowka> brandon_: goto ~/.wine/
[07:18] <cool> Ramphis, its fine,
[07:18] <fragile> OH hit Q lol sorry joshua__
[07:19] <Ramphis> lol the code is fine, my ethernet is not at all hahahahha
[07:19] <joshua__> fragile:  oh kay
[07:19] <ari_stress> hello guys, can we download the *.deb files manually? from where?
[07:19] <fragile> I didn't read it was asking what now. I thought you couldn't edit it and it that was you asking what now at the end.
[07:19] <whabo> WHy does ubuntu feeel MUCH slower on my laptop than PCLinuxOS???? i mean it takes me 3 minutes just to boot up ubuntu... HELP
[07:19] <cool> Ramphis, post your etc/resolve.config
[07:19] <Ramphis> ok
[07:19] <joshua__> fragile:  It said sudoers file unchanged
[07:19] <Ramphis> brb
[07:19] <JNowka> brandon_: now "cp user.reg user.bak"
[07:19] <ari_stress> whabo: use ubuntu 7.10, it's much faster
[07:19] <Ramphis> the command is: cat etc/resolve.config, right?
[07:20] <joshua__> this sucks
[07:20] <brandon_> cp: cannot stat `user.reg': No such file or directory
[07:20] <cool> Ramphis, yes
[07:20] <Lore1> anyone know a quick way to unmount ntfs volumes without having fstab probs.
[07:20] <Ramphis> ok
[07:20] <fragile> joshua__: I don't think it's your visudo file. it looks fine.
[07:20] <Ramphis> brb
[07:20] <JNowka> brandon_: on the command line type in "cd ~/.wine"
[07:20] <whabo> ari_stress: i am using 7.10 it is slow and boots up in 3 minutes.. i have 1 GIG of ram and a celeron 2.4 GHz
[07:20] <fragile> Lorel, umount -at ntfs
[07:20] <ari_stress> Lore1: umount /mount_point
[07:21] <brandon_> alright
[07:21] <joshua__> thats the error from the terminal though
[07:21] <ari_stress> whabo: really? i was having the same problem, but only with 7.04. the network setting took about 2 minutes
[07:21] <JNowka> now type in "cp user.reg user.bak"
[07:21] <DanikarPN> Iwhabo: d imagine you have something set up wrong if that is the case
[07:21] <PirateAleks> Whabo, are you using the 64-bit version?
[07:21] <ari_stress> whabo: but with 7.10 everything is very fast
[07:21] <brandon_> jnowka ok
[07:21] <JNowka> brandon_: did it copy ok?
[07:22] <joshua__> alright well the insults is in there now so it must have changed
[07:22] <joshua__> I m going to boot into hd
[07:22] <fragile> try the failsafe.
[07:22] <whabo> PirateAleks:  nope im using teh 32 version teh standard one for a desktop
[07:23] <brandon_> ya
[07:23] <Lore1> thank ya fragile
[07:23] <brandon_> jnowka ya
[07:23] <tony__> I'm having problems getting fglrx.  But before I go into it, is there a good reason I should even be trying to switch to it?
[07:23] <whabo> ari_stress: yeah ... it seems that Pc linux Os is aoo much faster ... especially with the 3D and beryl .. compiz effects
[07:23] <JNowka> brandon_: now type in gedit user.reg
[07:23] <whyameye> tony__: 3D accell? compiz?
[07:23] <brandon_> jnowka ok
[07:23] <JNowka> brandon_: did the text editor open up?
[07:23] <brandon_> ya
[07:23] <sauvin> I thought PC Linux OS was an RH derivative.
[07:23] <tony__> I've got it now (I think) under the open (default) ati driver
[07:24] <cool> whabo, when booting press ALT + F1 and see whats stopping ubuntu to boot faster
[07:24] <fragile> tony__: the fglrx drivers gave me problems, personally.. if I ctrl+backspce I would get display corruption every time.. going to tty1-6 gave display corruption etc
[07:24] <fragile> and I've got compiz working great without it.
[07:24] <JNowka> brandon_:does it have wierd text
[07:24] <fragile> but if I had the choice of it working right I'd do it.. but I don't
[07:24] <JNowka> brandon_: or is it empty?
[07:24] <whabo> cool: ok ill do that now ill be back on in 3 minutes lol
[07:24] <brandon_> jnowka I can read it its like this [Control Panel\\Colors] 1195889270
[07:24] <brandon_> "ActiveBorder"="192 192 192"
[07:24] <brandon_> "ActiveTitle"="0 0 128"
[07:24] <cool> whobo ok lol :p
[07:25] <fragile> could try reprofiling whabo
[07:25] <JNowka> brandon_: perfect
[07:25] <cool> fragile, you missed it again, he left
[07:25] <fragile> I know cool :(
[07:25] <brandon_> jnowka what would it be under?
[07:25] <JNowka> brandon_: now use the find feature to search for "[Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver]"
[07:25] <ari_stress> is there any web for deb files like www.rpmfind.net?
[07:25] <JNowka> brandon_: does it find it?
[07:26] <brandon_> ya
[07:26] <cool> ari_stress, getdeb
[07:26] <tony__> my compiz seems to be working fine now, it just seems...slow compared to winxp (I just switched over).  Some screen drawing and especially flash (swf) stuff is pretty darn sluggish.
[07:26] <brandon_> lol it was at the very bottom
[07:26] <fragile> ari_stress: why not just use synaptic
[07:26] <fragile> yeah flash stuff is really slow tony__.. that's my biggest complaint. browsing the net is a pain :-/
[07:26] <xaut> hello
[07:26] <_nix_> hello everybody.. what if I have two deb packages of the same software, one only a higher version, what would dpkg +i <deb> give me? the higher version?
[07:26] <brandon_> jnowka I got it thanks man
[07:26] <ari_stress> fragile: because my friend doesn't have fast internet access
[07:26] <tony__> ah, so it's not just a configuration thing, eh?  :(
[07:27] <JNowka> brandon_: so you changed the screen size?
[07:27] <joshua__> well guys it worked!
[07:27] <_nix_> * *.deb I mean
[07:27] <brandon_> ya
[07:27] <brandon_> jnowka thanks
[07:27] <fragile> tony__: I wish it were. I would just copy my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then install fglrx et al and hope for the best... if all else fails you have a backup
[07:27] <krim> tony__: I had the same problem when I used a radeon 9800 card, fortunately I have an integrated intel card now and everything works sweet (not that it helps you but I feel your pain)
[07:28] <joshua__> fragile,  everyone ty
[07:28] <fragile> yeah I've got a 9600 in this laptop and I shortly decided afterwards to stay away from ATI
[07:28] <fragile> glad you got it working joshua__
[07:28] <tony__> yep, tried it, but right as x starts the screen goes blank -- as if my monitor loses input.  Radeon 9500.  I got back and switch my xorg.conf file back and all is well.  (shrug)
[07:28] <cool> ari_stress, but downloading via getdeb will result in dependency hell, better use aptoncd
[07:29] <fragile> did you try ctrl++ .. could have just been something simple like resolution problem
[07:29] <joshua__> quicvk question I deleted my desktop switcher how can i get it back?
[07:29] <krim> fragile: ATI will probably be better in the future since they have released specs now but yeah, they were pretty bad before that (and will be for some time until the new drivers are good enough)
[07:29] <PirateAleks> My CD drive keeps beeping while it's inside my laptop.  It works, but it's annoying having to have my cd-drive open just so I don't have to hear the beeps -_-
[07:29] <tony__> no I didn't.   I didn't know about that
[07:29] <sauvin> by that time I'll have a different laptop :]\
[07:29] <fragile> yeah I agree krim, I hope for the best because they make good hardware just drivers are lame :(
[07:29] <tony__> What does ctrl ++ do
[07:30] <fragile> tony__: changes your resolution
[07:30] <fragile> ctrl+numpad+
[07:30] <DanikarPN> If I install KDE is it easy to switch back and forth?
[07:30] <tony__> does it go up or down
[07:30] <cool> fragile, in firefox?
[07:30] <sauvin> DanikarPN, yes.
[07:30] <tomd> PirateAleks: open up the laptop and disconnect the speaker :-x
[07:30] <fragile> yes DanikarPN, you change your session at login
[07:30] <DanikarPN> Do you just choose it on the log in screen?
[07:30] <DanikarPN> Cool
[07:30] <fragile> what in firefox cool?
[07:30] <xaut> :)
[07:30] <PirateAleks> tomd, the beeps are internal.
[07:31] <cool> fragile, ctrl ++ just what?
[07:31] <tony__> shouldn't there be a configuration file somewhere that tells me what res x is going to startup at?  I know exactly what I need.
[07:31] <tomd> PirateAleks, to the drive, or to the laptops internal speaker
[07:31] <fragile> changes resolution, cool.
[07:31] <DanikarPN> What the easiest installation method? sudo apt-get install kde?
[07:31] <tomd> PirateAleks, because, you could probably just disconnect your internal speaker.. im thinking about doing it
[07:31] <_nix_> DanikarPN: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:31] <cool> fragile, perhaps a better term would be ZOOM :p
[07:31] <krim> DanikarPN: I've read that aptitude is preferred.
[07:31] <DanikarPN> _nix_ thanks
[07:31] <_nix_> I guess
[07:32] <PirateAleks> tomd, maybe I should elaborate.  It isn't just beeping.  It also checks if there is a cd inside, causing clicking every three seconds.
[07:32] <fragile> what??
[07:32] <fragile> guess I'm just old school. I know in the XFree86 packages (yes, old school) ctrl++ would change resolutions, as would ctrl+-
[07:32] <xaut> disconnect the IDE wire of the cd-rom :0
[07:33] <PirateAleks> xault, I'd rather not do that, lol.
[07:33] <tony__> I just tried ctrl ++ (from the numpad) and it just changed my font size.  Does this have to be at the login screen?
[07:33] <fragile> it may not be the same keypress any more tony__ sorry
[07:33] <fragile> I haven't used that in years and it doesn't seem to do anything here either.
[07:34] <xaut> destroy the beep ......
[07:34] <fragile> maybe it was ctrl+alt++
[07:34] <cool> fragile, old school then try "sudo rm -rf /" :p
[07:34] <fragile> k brb while I do that cool ;)
[07:34] <PirateAleks> xault, I can't.
[07:35] <tony__> tsokay.  So does anyone know where fglrx gets its res from?
[07:35] <tomd> PirateAleks, does the drive do this when you aren't logged in to a desktop environment
[07:35] <xaut> change another cd-rom...
[07:35] <fragile> I actually want to do that one day just to see what happens.. would everything die automatically or what
[07:35] <fragile> I should have done it while getting rid of gentoo just for overkill
[07:35] <PirateAleks> tomd, the drive starts doing this the moment ubuntu loads.  So a little before the login screen.  It does not do this for another operating system.
[07:36] <cool> fragile, so tried ?
[07:36] <cool> :p
[07:36] <tomd> PirateAleks, so is this before the login screen is displayed, or after
[07:36] <tomd> PirateAleks, run dmesg
[07:36] <xaut> disable the beep, i think it can be turn off in the bios option,
[07:36] <tony__> I just typed sudo rm -rf / and it's asking me for my password.  Should I enter it in?  Will that fix my fglrx problem?
[07:36] <ntbnnt> i cannot get my ipw3945 card to turn on, restricted drivers are installed however i cannot use my card
[07:36] <tomd> PirateAleks, from the console and grep for your cdrom device
[07:36] <whabo> cool: nothing seems to halt  it down.... ANy suggestions?? i mean how to i check for my ubuntu version if its 64 bit or 32 bit?
[07:37] <fragile> tony__: don't do that
[07:37] <cool> whobo uname -r
[07:37] <tony__> heeelllppp it's dyyiinnggg
[07:37] <weltschmerz> pulseaudio gives me a connection refused error. anyone?
[07:37] <fragile> tony__: rm -rf / will remove files recursively and forcefully from /
[07:37] <fragile> lol
[07:37] <cool> hehe
[07:37] <cool> lol
[07:37] <cool> rofl
[07:37] <cool> haha
[07:37] <whabo> cool: i type uname -r in teh terminal?
[07:38] <cool> yes
[07:38] <whabo> cool: thx
[07:38] <PirateAleks> say tomd, a lot of "device lookup failed"s.
[07:38] <tony__> hah yeah I only know not to type that in because I've seen it on t-shirts and license plates.  :)
[07:38] <cool> tony__, why you did that?, it was for fragile :p
[07:38] <fragile> lol
[07:38] <cool> hehe
[07:38] <whabo> 2.6.22-14-generic
[07:38] <whabo> <<<<<< thats why i get cool...
[07:38] <fragile> I finally got my custom place "su root"
[07:39] <Cryx> Anyone using Cisco vpnclient for linux here? I have it on my system and i have huge problems with timeout part of the configuration file. If i change it with nano, it just ignores the changes on next vpnclient connect
[07:39] <fragile> everything else was taken basically :(
[07:39] <cool> whobo thats a 32bit version
[07:39] <tomd> PirateAleks, paste me a chunk of that dmesg output in /msg
[07:40] <fragile> yeah whabo, that's the default kernel basically
[07:40] <ntbnnt> does anyone know if drivers for the ipw3945 are broken in the 64-bit edition of 7.10
[07:40] <whabo> cool: aight 1 more question .. i deleted my PclinuxOs partition and rezide my ubuntu partition using Pclinuxos live Cd but it still tells me in using 30GIG out of my harddrive any suggestions?
[07:40] <jscinoz> Hey guys, how can i have a manually configured mouse in xorg.conf that is somehow set as option, i.e. X will still start with the mouse unplugged?

[07:41] <simion314> Hi, where apt saves packages downloaded from the internet?
[07:41] <fragile> /var/cache/apt/archives simion314
[07:42] <cool> whabo, why did you use other distro's installer ?, you could have used Gparted live cd
[07:42] <bboymc> hi
[07:42] <fragile> k work tomorrow morning.. going to sleep.
[07:42] <cool> simion314, do you need to backup all packages ?
[07:42] <whabo> cool: i have Gparted live CD but i didnt know what to type lol .... i figured it was easier to use teh live Cd with the Kparted i think partitioner
[07:43] <nox-Hand> !upgrade
[07:43] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:43] <simion314> yes
[07:43] <simion314> i want to reinstall
[07:43] <cool> simion314, then use aptoncd, it has got a nice interface

[07:45] <bboymc> A
[07:45] <simion314> cool:thx, i have a small internet speed so i want to save some packages on other partition
[07:45] <jscinoz> Frogzoo, i've alreayd set up my mouse, that doesnt answer any of my questions...
[07:45] <whabo> cool: :) oww nice.. any suggestions tho to let use my entire harddrive instead of 30% of its capacity?
[07:46] <cool> simion314, then aptoncd is good has is saves all packes in a iso format, which can also be burned onto a CD/DVD :)
[07:46] <jscinoz> I need to have a manually configured evdev mouse (in xorg.conf) configured in such a way that X will still start if the device is missing, is there specific option line that can flag an InputDevice optional?
[07:46] <cool> whabo, please say again :0
[07:47] <cool> i didn't get you
[07:48] <Frogzoo> jscinoz: use a usb mouse?
[07:49] <jscinoz> Frogzoo, it is a usb mouse, howver it requires the evdev driver to work correctly, and if X is started with the mouse configured but not plugged in, it fails
[07:49] <ari_stress> hi guys, OOT: do pinguins have fur/feather? :D

[07:57] <Tidus> that'll tell you how to use resize2fs to 'grow' your 30gb filesystem to fill the rest of the partition
[07:58] <whabo> tidus: aight alot of words .. lol 1 sec .. thx aloot im reading it
[07:59] <lemons> Uh hey, I need help or something.
[07:59] <xeer> anyone? is there a simple method to install ubuntu onto a different disk, through ubuntu itself?
[07:59] <Flannel> xeer: Youre moving your current install to a different drive?
[07:59] <xeer> not moving, creating a new one. this one is screwed up and i'd like to install it on a new disk
[08:00] <Tidus> xeer: just simply pop the cd in and install it to the new disk...
[08:00] <xeer> i'd like to do it through a terminal.. and not have to burn a disk and reboot
[08:00] <Flannel> !install | xeer
[08:00] <ubotu> xeer: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[08:02] <Nectarine> hmm neat tutorial on installing w/o a cd
[08:03]  * cool is back
[08:04] <Radi01> run.
[08:05] <lemons> uh. So. Yeah. My laptop has been overheating (100C) a lot ever since I got ubuntu.
[08:06] <Radi01> thats hot
[08:06] <lemons> Only since I got ubuntu in fact. It's never overheated before.
[08:06] <Nectarine> yup
[08:06] <lemons> Yeah
[08:06] <brobostigon> hi,good morning
[08:06] <cool> lemons, turn is off before, it fries :p
[08:06] <lemons> ._. It's not overheating right at this moment
[08:07] <cool> lemons, so you mean is does not overheat all the time?
[08:07] <Radi01> Sounds like U need a scaling pgm.
[08:08] <cool> lemons, you can use CPU as water heater, boiling of water 100 C :p
[08:08] <lemons> Uh. It doesn't just start overheating as soon as it is on. Usually after a few hours of use it will start in the 80s or 90s
[08:08] <xeer> is there no way to create a new partition and apt-get the entire distro to the new location?
[08:08] <cool> lemons, 80C is also higher side
[08:08] <Radi01> Fan speed problem?
[08:08] <lemons> Oh, but youtube videos for some reason make it heat up REALLY fast
[08:08] <lemons> Yeah, I realize this.
[08:08] <lemons> But 100C is insane
[08:09] <Nectarine> yeah that's like cooking temp
[08:09] <mavi-> my acer got up to 93C after ~40 min
[08:09] <Radi01> I panic @ 60c
[08:09] <mavi-> was disk access and graphics that made it go mostly
[08:09] <lemons> Yeah, it's at 62C. right now.
[08:09] <cool> Radi01, perscott's runs at temps :O
[08:09] <lemons> But I've been told that's normal for AMD or whatever.
[08:09] <mavi-> lemons: what kind of laptop is it?
[08:10] <cool> water boiler
[08:10] <Flannel> xeer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix
[08:10] <cool> :p
[08:10] <Radi01> loo
[08:10] <lemons>  HP Pavilion Laptop DV2000
[08:10] <darkmatter> lemons: you really should cap the bios to shut it down at ~80 C, letting it run that hot will eventually case big problems
[08:10] <mavi-> i had to get an external keyboard after burning my wrists =P
[08:10] <mavi-> lemons: get a fan plate if you are using it mostly at home, and turn off compiz when you arent
[08:10] <lemons> uh... okay. But that's not going to help me really... I wanna make it so it like.. doesn't do that
[08:10] <mavi-> opengl = heat
[08:10] <Lore1> ok, say I have a second hard drive and I want to install gutsy gibbon, i have the iso, but I don't wanna burn it. It's mounted, but I can't seem to get the installer started. How should I go about gettin it done?
[08:11] <sauvin> http://xkcd.com/349/
[08:11] <mavi-> you can also turn off the trackers disk tracking
[08:11] <cool> lemons, you gotta a serious HARDWARE issue, better check up first
[08:11] <mavi-> disk access is also heat
[08:11] <mavi-> and blow clean your fans
[08:11] <Flannel> Lore1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux or a few other methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[08:11] <mavi-> that makes alot
[08:11] <lemons> ... do what now?
[08:11] <Lore1> /name Lore1 Lor
[08:11] <mavi-> lemons:
[08:12] <lemons> yes?
[08:12] <mavi-> lemons: clean out your fans as step one
[08:12] <lemons> okay.
[08:12] <mavi-> that usally makes 10-20C if they are clogged
[08:12] <mavi-> then turn off compiz, 3d-graphics = heat
[08:12] <cool> lemons, i beilave its hardware issue, as no software can make a CPU overheat :)
[08:12] <lemons> compiz? whats that? and how?
[08:12] <Frogzoo> gutsy seems to run a lot cooler than feisty...
[08:12] <peacepipejv> anybody know of any voip w/ free pc to phone? I tried media ring via wine, too buggy
[08:13] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[08:13] <mavi-> lemons: compiz are ubuntus 3d effects desktop
[08:13] <cool> mavi-, they are just temp solutions AKAIK
[08:13] <warlock_handler> i have some problem in my /dev/hda3
[08:13] <mavi-> cool: yeah, solutions for using broken hardware
[08:13] <warlock_handler> and i wanted to chk what data is on it...
[08:13] <lemons> I don't think it's a hardware issue, as I never once had my laptop overheat with XP. Not even once. Or heat up my entire room for that matter...
[08:13] <Frogzoo> peacepipejv: skype/ekiga
[08:13] <warlock_handler> how do i do this??
[08:13] <Tidus> i would attempt to clean out your fans.
[08:14] <peacepipejv> Frogzoo: pc to phone isnt free though, i thought
[08:14] <lemons> Ah, yeah. I did turn that off already.
[08:14] <Tidus> my dell inspiron 5100 had a clogged heatsink and it would overheat just idling
[08:14] <cool> !mount | warfaren
[08:14] <ubotu> warfaren: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:14] <mavi-> lemons: you can right click the panel and add the CPU speed meter
[08:14] <Tidus> now, i can sit here playin games all day and it never gets hot
[08:14] <mavi-> lemons: then you see if your CPU drops down to lower mhz when it isnt in use
[08:14] <peacepipejv> Frogzoo: am i mistaken?
[08:14] <mavi-> lemons: if it doesnt then your speed step isnt working, that would make some extra heat to
[08:15] <Lore1> Flannel: Thanks
[08:15] <lemons> right click which panel?
[08:15] <mavi-> the one with the main menu
[08:15] <mavi-> at top
[08:15] <Tidus> <for information, the dell i5100 uses a desktop p4 chip, so if it has no fans running, or its clogged, it heats up FAST>
[08:15] <mavi-> chose "add to panel"
[08:16] <mavi-> lemons: then search for CPU and you find it
[08:16] <Frogzoo> peacepipejv: to connect to the phone network, you'll need a voip service provider, or to run asterisk as a voice gateway
[08:17] <peacepipejv> Frogzoo: oh, ok
[08:17] <lemons> alright.
[08:17] <lemons> If it drops during idle what does that tell me?
[08:17] <warfaren> <3 nick completion
[08:18] <Tidus> lemons: if your cpu speed drops at idle then your speedstep is working
[08:18] <lemons> Speedstep... mmhmm
[08:18] <mavi-> lemons: if it doesnt, we have found a possible heat source =)
[08:19] <mavi-> gotta go to work, bb in 30 min =)
[08:19] <Tidus> mavi-: to be honest with his, i think his fans aren't wanting to work.
[08:19] <lemons> It's at 800MHz right now and I don't see it really fluctuating...
[08:19] <inversekinetix> WTH  why does my cpu usage keep jumpin to 50% when there is only xchat and firefox open?
[08:19] <mavi-> lemons: is it a 800mhz laptop?
[08:19] <lemons> It's at a solid 800.
[08:19] <lemons> Uh... I dunno.
[08:19] <lemons> >_>
[08:19] <Tidus> i have a dell i5100 that uses a desktop p4 chip (no speedstep) and it doesn't warm up at all
 can i use gparted to identify which blocks in my /dev/hda3 are corrupted
[08:19] <Tidus> mavi-: all intel dual cores will drop to 800 at idle
[08:19] <lemons> Ah.
[08:20] <mavi-> ah okthen
[08:20] <mavi-> lemons: listen to your fans, are they running?
[08:20] <Tidus> lemons: try doing something that pegs the CPU
[08:20] <warlock_handler> can i use gparted to identify which blocks in my /dev/hda3 are corrupted
[08:20] <inversekinetix> anyone have any idea why my cpu usage would keep up at around 50%
[08:20] <Tidus> inversekinetix: on gutsy?
[08:20] <inversekinetix> Tidus: yes
[08:21] <Tidus> inversekinetix: is the 3d desktop effects active?
[08:21] <inversekinetix> Tidus: yes
[08:21] <Tidus> underpowered video card
[08:21] <lemons> Pegs the CPU? hm-wha?
[08:21] <Tidus> lemons: do something that requires a LOT of cpu time
[08:21] <lemons> uhh
[08:21] <inversekinetix> Tidus: q6660@3Ghz 8800GTS 640MB
[08:21] <cool> warlock_handler, to mount partitions use "sudo mount -t <fs type> /dev/hdx <mount point>
[08:21] <lemons> Well I am listening to music right now and it doesn't seem to be effecting it.
[08:21] <brobostigon> compile llemons
[08:21] <warlock_handler> my /tmp is mounted on my /dev/hda3 ... now in my /dev/hda3 there are bad sectors.. can i unmount the /tmp and delete this partition??
[08:21] <lemons> Like it is JUST 800.
[08:22] <Radi01> He said utube made it heat up.
[08:22] <Tidus> inversekinetix: hm... maybe the nvidia drivers aren't loaded?
 my /tmp is mounted on my /dev/hda3 ... now in my /dev/hda3 there are bad sectors.. can i unmount the /tmp and delete this partition??
[08:22] <Tidus> and it's trying to use software rendering?
[08:22] <cool> warfaren,yes , use umount command
[08:22] <lemons> Erp, wait, I just refreshed my firefox and it jumped up to 2GHz, then 1.6, then 1.8 and now back to 800MHz
[08:22] <inversekinetix> Tidus: nvidia is loaded, I get the splash screen just befdore ubuntu login screen
 can i delete that partition and mark it unusable???
[08:22] <Tidus> lemons: ok, so speedstep is working
[08:23] <Tidus> inversekinetix: open a terminal and run 'top'
[08:23] <Tidus> that'll tell you what's chewing up the cpu
[08:23] <cool> warlock_handler, yes and also remove its entry from /etc/fstab
[08:23] <lemons> uhh
[08:24] <lemons> how do I read this thing?
[08:24] <cool> warlock_handler, but then you need to mount /tmp elsewhere
[08:24] <cool> warfaren, on any other free partion
[08:24] <Tidus> cool: if he fails to remount /tmp, it'll just use the same partition that "/" is on
 yo dude can i PM you??
[08:25] <cool> Tidus, thanks for telling, i didn't knew that
[08:25] <cool> Tidus, do keep pointout in future too :)
[08:25] <cool> warlock_handler, ya sure!
[08:25] <tarelerulz> I am lost I can't seem to get my wireless card working ,but it don't work on webpages . Now my cable is action the same  irc work and synaptic  ,but not web pages don't work
[08:26] <inversekinetix> ah ha, found it
[08:26] <inversekinetix> Tidus thanks
[08:27] <Tidus> inversekinetix: what was chewing it up?
[08:27] <inversekinetix> Tidus superpi
[08:27] <Tidus> lol
[08:27] <NineTeen67Comet> Aaaarg . my Ubuntu Server 7.10 equiped headless box is dripping it's network randomly .. help?

[08:29] <Radi01> loo
[08:29] <Tidus> inversekinetix: you're not talking in english...
[08:29] <DanikarPN> Read it upside down and backwords
[08:29] <NineTeen67Comet> LNE100TX [Linksys EtherFast 10/100] (rev 25) is my PCI card. It's been a trooper with previous installs of Ununtu Server but Gutsy seems to have it out for me .. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot?
[08:30] <cool> inversekinetix, you copied it from some site :p
[08:30] <ari_stress> wew! i've just slept on my keyboard
[08:30] <Tidus> i can't read it upside down and backwards... all i see is ??? x?? ? u?? ?o? 'u?op ?p?sdn s? u????s ??
[08:30] <ari_stress> luckily my boss didn't spot me
[08:30] <lemons> um.
[08:30] <Tidus> my unicode = fail
[08:30] <DanikarPN> NineTeen67Comet: Go to System -> Administration -> Network
[08:31] <Tidus> lemons: ?
[08:31] <NineTeen67Comet> ari_stress: I was wondering why your forehead said ZXCVBNM .. back words ..
[08:31] <ari_stress> NineTeen67Comet: :D
[08:31] <NineTeen67Comet> DanikarPN: It's headless (no monitor/keyboard or X server) .. it's jsut Ubuntu Server Edition ..
[08:31] <DanikarPN> =(
[08:31] <DanikarPN> Oh
[08:31] <DanikarPN> lol
[08:31] <DanikarPN> well then, im too nub to help u
[08:31] <NineTeen67Comet> DanikarPN: lol .. I'm pretty handy w/CLI anyhow ..
[08:32] <lemons> So when I refresh on firefox it'll hit up around 20%.
[08:32]  * NineTeen67Comet <tab> makes a man lazy .. 
[08:32] <lemons> Just sitting tight it's at 1.
[08:32] <DanikarPN> Yeah, at work I work on RHEL with CLI but at home I use Ubuntu.  And at work I do after the fact stuff, not set up =(.
[08:32] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: i think you'll have to temporarily hook up a head so you'll have access to a terminal
[08:32]  * cool says <tab> makes typing wierd nick easy, NineTeen67Comet 
[08:33] <lemons> Also what is Xorg? It's taking up between 10 and 15 percent mem.
[08:33] <lemons> <_<
[08:33] <NineTeen67Comet> Tidus: I did that for a day and a half, then decided it was going to be good and put it all back .. I can ssh in for a few minutes after I hard shutdown (hello power button, how long do I have to hold you in before I KEEEL YOU!) ..
[08:33] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: ok... failing network card?
[08:33] <Tidus> mis-compiled kernel module?
[08:34] <Tidus> i keep a spare realtek 8139 (best damn card i've found, i think) around in case one of mine fails
[08:34] <Tidus> that particular card's been thru about at least 8 machines already
[08:34] <NineTeen67Comet> Tidus: Yeah . No errors in the messages log, and it doesn't error out when it drops. It just "stops". Usually the only way I know it dropped is cuz my term locks up when ssh'ed in .. I'll drag one of my monitors over and hook it up though, this is driving me nuts. (I run dual monitors, so I feel all cut in half when I donate one to my server)..
[08:35] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: lol... my primary linux tinkertoy is a laptop
[08:36] <ibanez> mine too
[08:36]  * NineTeen67Comet hugs is lesser monitor farewell for the night .. and envokes nvidia-settings with a smile .. 
[08:36] <NineTeen67Comet> All my boxes are *nix .. (even my MacBook Pro is MOSTLY *nix)
[08:36] <DanikarPN> Hey what is Roaming mode?  I disabled it and switched to DHCP because it seemed to make internets slower.
[08:36]  * NineTeen67Comet tinkering w/the cables
[08:37] <Tidus> roaming mode attempts to emulate the user-friendly wlan / wired automatic switch of mac osx
[08:37] <jl> p
[08:37] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: LOL ... my amd64 3500 runs OSX
[08:37] <Tidus> and this p4 dell laptop is getting nix put on it
[08:38] <ibanez> what kind of wireless card ?
[08:38] <Tidus> ibanez: mine?
[08:38] <ibanez> yes
[08:38] <ibanez> for the dell
[08:38] <Tidus> linksys WPC54GS (broadcom 43xx chipset, requires ndiswrapper)
[08:38] <NineTeen67Comet> Tidus: I really like Mac OSX but it jerks my chain they use so much open software but NOT enough to allow you to fire it up w/out breaking laws .. who needs laws anyhow .. lol
[08:38] <Tidus> lol...
[08:39] <ibanez> man
[08:39] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: i just installed it on that amd64 to play around with it.
[08:39] <ibanez> i installed mine today Tidus with bcm43xx
[08:39] <ibanez> only had to do firmware
[08:39] <ibanez> no ndiswrapper
[08:39] <ibanez> Linux avenged 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:39] <ibanez>  03:39:24 up  9:59,  1 user,  load average: 0.65, 0.36, 0.39
[08:39] <Tidus> i couldn't find the firmware, so i just take the easy route and ndiswrapper it
[08:39] <ibanez> lol
[08:40] <Tidus> i got the windows drivers for this card on a usb stick, so it's nothin to get ndiswrapper up
[08:40] <ibanez> yeah
[08:41] <ibanez> i downloaded my firmware on my xp box, then moved over with flash
[08:41] <Tidus> think you can upload the firmware file somewhere that i might be able to nab it?
[08:41] <ibanez> with the great help of MasterShrek
[08:41] <ibanez> sure
[08:41] <ibanez> let me grab my stick and put it in
[08:41] <ibanez> hang on one sec mate
[08:41] <Tidus> i hate using ndiswrapper... makes me feel dirty having to use windows pieces of software on nix
[08:42] <Tidus> i mean it works... i just feel weird.
[08:42] <Nyle> ibanez: hi
[08:42]  * NineTeen67Comet sigh .. Monitor hooked up, keyboard hooked up .. booting and .. where to start looking into the dropped network issue? .. /etc/network/interfaces looks good (Static IP), /etc/resolv.conf looks good. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart produces no errors .. and /var/log/messages has no errors .. help?
[08:42] <Nyle> ibanez: guitarplayer?
[08:42] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: tail -f -n 25 /var/log/messages in one terminal
[08:43] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: and tail -f -n 25 /var/log/dmesg in another
[08:43] <Tidus> and wait
[08:43] <NineTeen67Comet> N'kay just a moment .. no cut and paste here .. (well, I could, but ssh might drop and I'm borked again .. hehehe
[08:43] <Tidus> lol
[08:43] <ibanez> yes Nyle
[08:43] <Nyle> NineTeen67Comet: check all network hardware first
[08:43] <Tidus> NineTeen67Comet: personally, i think it might be a failing nic
[08:44] <tomasko> i'm trying to get kvm to work. i tried modprobe kvm-amd (i'm on a 6000+) and i get operation not supported. how do i determine if i have amd's vt enabled in bios without restarting?

[08:45] <Tidus> ibanez: got an ftp somewhere?
[08:45] <Nyle> thanks budd
[08:45] <NineTeen67Comet> Tidus: I suspect .. I guess I could fire up a live cd (means I'd have to hook up a cd rom) and dink w/it until it failed ..
[08:45] <ibanez> i have no ftp
[08:45] <Tidus> hm...
[08:45] <Nyle> Tidus: you in client mode?

[08:47] <cerealkiller> is it possible to run msdos apps in ubuntu
[08:48] <dalton> hi guys
[08:48] <dalton> alguem fala portugues?
[08:48] <cerealkiller> i have a dos based program, written in foxpro compiler
[08:48] <blackfox> i download wine 0.0.49
[08:48] <blackfox> but .deb
[08:48] <Nyle> ibanez: #music
[08:48] <Nyle> ?
[08:48] <TiJay> is Scribus available in the universe?
[08:49] <roy> hai
[08:49] <Nyle> hi
[08:49] <Tidus> Nyle: got it with elinks
[08:49] <cerealkiller> i dont think that wine can open dos based
[08:49] <amadeux> In Gutsy, with compiz enabled, when I receive a message in Pidgin, the pidgin entry in the task panel at the bottom should begin to "flash" to alert me to a new message. But with compiz enabled, it just does a subtle fade in and out from a blueish color. I tend to miss that alert. How can I make it more obvious?
[08:49] <Tidus> ibanez: got it with elinks... thanks man

[08:50] <NineTeen67Comet> Tidus: Looks like it might be looking for IPv6 shtuff .. /var/log/syslog just poped out "Thor kernel: [ 512.670043] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[08:50] <ibanez> im just glad to be able to give back some help
[08:50] <NineTeen67Comet> but the network is still up
[08:50] <ibanez> or files
[08:50] <ibanez> that were given to me
[08:51] <Tidus> lol... that's the thing i like about the open source community.  share freely
[08:51] <timfrost> TiJay: scribus is in main for gutsy
[08:51] <chazco> Hi... is there a way to skip the filesystem checks that Ubuntu performs on startup? Not always, but on the laptop when showing slideshows etc it can be annoying.
[08:52] <TiJay> timfrost, found it. It says it's for KDE. Will it work with Gnome fine?
[08:52] <TiJay> As far integration wise
[08:52] <Tidus> TiJay: it'll run just fine
[08:52] <xeer> Flannel, thanks for your previous help, but i could not get it to work with your instructions. My goal is to install ubuntu from terminal onto a Raid1 (using dmraid) ext3 partition alongside ntfs
[08:52] <Tidus> and if it uses a KDE system tray icon... it'll show in gnome just fine
[08:52] <dalton> how the last version of ubuntu?
[08:52] <TiJay> IS there any other desktop publishing software for nix?
[08:53] <TiJay> Not neccessary free or opensource. Just looking at the options right now
[08:53] <nathan> hey all
[08:53] <amadeux> Is there a package for ubuntu that will parallelize the startup sequence so as to boot faster? As far as I understand it, the linux boot sequence is sequential whereas Windows' is parallel
[08:53] <gordonjcp> amadeux: no
[08:53] <amadeux> gordonjcp, no what?
[08:54] <gordonjcp> amadeux: no, you can't really parallelise the startup sequence any more than it is
[08:54] <amadeux> ok
[08:54] <FluxD> what is the diff btw those two?
[08:54] <gordonjcp> amadeux: most of the time you spend hanging about is waiting for devices to ready up
[08:54] <cerealkiller> is it possible to run msdos apps in ubuntu
[08:54] <gordonjcp> cerealkiller: dosbox
[08:54] <Tidus> amadeux: some services depend on another service being up, and if you try to parallelize it, chances are you might break it
[08:55] <dalton> how the last version of ubuntu?
[08:55] <Tidus> but most of it's just hanging around waiting on the hardware to initialize
[08:55] <amadeux> Tidus, of course, that is part of parallelization, to get synchronize dependant processes
[08:55] <amadeux> still, as much parallelization as possible is a good thing
[08:56] <amadeux> so this is obsolete, or what? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html
[08:56] <chevtron> dalton - latest version is 7.10
[08:57] <dalton> chemisus thanx man
[08:57] <CyberMad> how to lock panel from remove / changing?
[08:57] <psanxiao> Hi all!
[08:57] <CyberMad> someone on xubuntu, told me to set chmod on this: panel.xml
[08:58] <CyberMad> chmod -w ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panel.xml
[08:58] <mesasina> lonely_guy
[08:58] <nathan> indeed
[08:58] <CyberMad> but because ubuntu use gnome.. i don't know where is panel.xml in ubuntu. so where is it?
[08:58] <dalton> chevtron https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[08:58] <psanxiao> Is there a specific tool to build a debian package for ubuntu?
[08:58] <FluxD> !dpkg
[08:58] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[08:58] <nathan> psanxiao snyaptic
[08:59] <g1gaman_> gentlemen, how can i fix apt by reinstalling if it gives me this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45895/
[08:59] <psanxiao> thanks
[08:59] <madera> Hello
[08:59] <madera> What is ubuntu's rc-update equivalent? (from Gentoo)
[08:59] <psanxiao> nathan: synaptic to build deb packages??
[09:00] <FluxD> !dpkg | psanxiao
[09:00] <ubotu> psanxiao: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[09:00] <alimoe> hey all
[09:00] <nathan> ubotu is correct for build
[09:00] <gambix> this is a dud ask...
[09:00] <timfrost> madera: update-rc.d
[09:00] <alimoe> i have a wireless modem how do i set it up and start using it?
[09:01] <gambix> how do you write a date in american format
[09:01] <TiJay> Is there such package as freetype?
[09:01] <gambix> in log format ?
[09:01] <madera> Like: rc-update add myservice default
[09:01] <gambix> inlong format
[09:01] <madera> How's that in Ubuntu?
[09:01] <nathan> alimoe what type of modem? Have you looke at ndswrapper?
[09:01] <jscinoz> When i press my search keybind for deskbar, it opens in a window rather than the normal bubble-off-systray appearance, how can i fix this?
[09:01] <timfrost> gambix: month-day-year
[09:01] <alimoe> nathan: its called ipwireless
[09:02] <psanxiao> dpkg to build a debian package from binary files too?
[09:02] <gordonjcp> amadeux: have a look at that IBM article, and have a look at the date on it...
[09:02] <gambix> timfrost: not i know that
[09:02] <amadeux> gordonjcp, I know, that's why I asked if it was obsolete
[09:02] <alimoe> nathan, ndswrapper??? im new ubuntu user!
[09:02] <gambix> timbut with friday 6 december 2007
[09:02] <gambix> timfrost: but with friday 6 december 2007
[09:02] <Asusu> hello. I've read somewhere there's an to build a debian pkg from a .bin called make-pkg (or something like that), but can't seem to find it in ubuntu. Do I have to install any specific package?
[09:03] <nathan> alimoe good to know.. Sure as hell don't say I know everything ;)
[09:03] <Tidus> alimoe: system -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Drivers ... that's what he's talking about when he says ndiswrapper
[09:03] <Excelsior> Which operating system should I use? BSD or Solaris?
[09:03] <alimoe> nathan: d:)
[09:03] <stdin> !ot | Excelsior
[09:03] <ubotu> Excelsior: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:03] <alimoe> tidus, yhnx
[09:03] <gordonjcp> amadeux: Linux has come a long way in four years
[09:04] <Excelsior> gordonjcp: No it hasn't. Not really.
[09:04] <Excelsior> Bye all
[09:04] <sakhi> he had to run
[09:04]  * gordonjcp wonders why people like Excelsior bother
[09:04] <capiira> anyone know a font browser to browse uninstalled fonts and type own sentence as text sample ?
[09:04] <gordonjcp> "Which should I use, BSD or Solaris?"
[09:04] <gordonjcp> ffs
[09:04] <gordonjcp> *neither*
[09:05] <gordonjcp> the one true OS is obviously VMS
[09:05] <g1gaman_> could you help me reinstall apt? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45895/
[09:05] <TiJay> Is there libsdl in ubuntu?
[09:05] <gordonjcp> TiJay: yes
[09:05] <amadeux> gordonjcp, I know. that's a generic answer. That doesn't answer whether the boot sequence has been parallelized. Truth is, gutsy boots much slower than XP
[09:06] <gordonjcp> amadeux: XP?
[09:06] <Tidus> amadeux: funny... my ubuntu always booted faster than my xp did
[09:06] <TiJay> gordonjcp, E: Couldn't find package libsdl
[09:07] <Asusu> Hello. Is make-dkpg available in Ubuntu? Can't seem to find it. What package do I need to install to run make-dkpg?
[09:07] <Tidus> TiJay: apt-cache search libsdl
[09:07] <gordonjcp> TiJay: apt-cache search libsdl
[09:07] <gordonjcp> TiJay: there are a *lot* of libsdl packages
[09:07] <Tidus> lol... beat ya to it by just a hair
[09:08] <TiJay> I'm trying to install Pixel and it doesn't say which libsdl it needs
[09:08] <timfrost> g1gaman_:  that error indicates that the package file  apt_0.7.6ubuntu14_i386.deb is not a good Ubuntu package.  Where did you get it from, and why are you trying to install it, rather than running 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt'?
[09:08] <amadeux> gordonjcp, yep, XP
[09:08] <blackfox> how much ram need for ubuntu 7.10 desktop?
[09:08] <Tidus> blackfox: at least 256mnb
[09:08] <Tidus> mb *
[09:09] <blackfox> ok thank you
[09:09] <gordonjcp> amadeux: is that Windows?
[09:09] <g1gaman_> timfrost: apt doesnt work on that machine due the segmantation fault. synaptic doesnt work also
[09:09] <nathan> 128 is fine if you do an alternate install and use blackbox, flux, ice or xfce
[09:09] <capiira> i think you need to create a symlink TiJay
[09:09] <timfrost> g1gaman_: what ubuntu release are you running?
[09:09] <HoudiniMan>  hi, i'm trying to use tftp to flash dd-wrt to my belkin F5D7231-4. anybody know much about tftp or dd-wrt?
[09:09] <amadeux> gordonjcp, no, it's Solaris XP...
[09:09] <g1gaman_> timfrost: gutsy
[09:09] <Tidus> HoudiniMan: is that firmware even made for that router ?
[09:09] <gordonjcp> amadeux: I don't know anything about Windows, I've never used it
[09:09] <blackfox> blackbox support ubuntu?
[09:10] <HoudiniMan>  they have one listed
[09:10] <Tidus> blackfox: yes, blackbox works fine in ubuntu
[09:10] <TiJay> will deb packinstaller automatically install dependencies?
[09:10] <HoudiniMan>  dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
[09:10] <amadeux> gordonjcp, but you are not illiterate, are you?
[09:10] <Tidus> HoudiniMan: because lookin at the package name, its name would suggest that it's made for a linksys WRT series router
[09:10] <capiira> TiJay,  see if its installed then do a symlink to the file with the name that pixel is searching for
[09:10] <blackfox> all version support? (blackbox)
[09:10] <gordonjcp> amadeux: no, I've just never really seen any need to look at Windows
[09:10] <TiJay> okay thanks
[09:10] <nathan> I've used black.. In flux right now.. did the CVS install.no worries after update menues
[09:10] <Tidus> !info blackbox
[09:10] <ubotu> blackbox: Window manager for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.70.1-1.1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 256 kB, installed size 776 kB
[09:10] <HoudiniMan>  i checked their compatibility page, the project has expanded outside linksys products
[09:11] <Saiffen> hello
[09:11] <Tidus> nathan: flux and blackbox are in the repos >.>
[09:11] <gordonjcp> amadeux: I have a real bought-and-paid-for copy of Windows 3.1 somewhere, but after that I kind of lost interest in it
[09:11] <Tidus> as well as debian-menu which does the menus for you >.>
[09:11] <badraa> help me, how to install   .tar.gz file's?
[09:11] <capiira> TiJay, sometimes ubuntu debian libs are named different as *.so.1 or so then a non repo app can't find it
[09:11] <blackfox> ok thank you Tidus
[09:11] <amadeux> gordonjcp, yeah, but I take it you're able to read. And you might have read or heard about Windows XP...
[09:11] <badraa> help me, how to install   .tar.gz file's?
[09:12] <nathan> badraa are you using gutsy?
[09:12] <g1gaman_> timfrost: i downloaded it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/base/apt
[09:12] <amadeux> gordonjcp, seems like there _is_ a way to parallelize the gutsy booting process. A little fact is a good thing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516690
[09:12] <gordonjcp> amadeux: I've heard of it, I've just never used it
[09:12] <g1gaman_> timfrost: is that a wrong version?
[09:12] <badraa> i use ubuntu 7.10
[09:12] <alimoe> tidus, i didnt see that
[09:12] <gordonjcp> and furthermore, I don't much care about it, since none of the software I use works in Windows
[09:13] <alimoe> help me i want to use my wireless modem
[09:13] <badraa> help me, how to install   .tar.gz file's?
[09:13] <amadeux> gordonjcp, if you've heard about it, why write "XP?". Also, if you have never used it, how do you know that Linux is better for you?
[09:13] <blackfox> now i use ubuntu 6.06
[09:13] <HoudiniMan>  so i think i got this router flashed, tftp told me "sent 1740800 bytes in 18.4 seconds"
[09:13] <alimoe> can anyone help plz, i want to use my wireless modem
[09:13] <HoudiniMan>  anybody use dd-wrt that can help me login the first time?
[09:13] <gordonjcp> amadeux: because as I said, pretty much none of the software I use will work in Windows?
[09:13] <badraa> help me, how to install   .tar.gz file's?
[09:13] <nathan> badraa if you are using the default gnome desktop double click on the file. Extract with the archive manager and no worries from there
[09:13] <amadeux> gordonjcp, seems incredibly narrowminded. I am a software developer and have developed software on more or less every OS known to man
[09:13] <g1gaman_> could you help me reinstall apt? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45895/
[09:13] <gordonjcp> amadeux: good for you
[09:13] <amadeux> gordonjcp, what software?
[09:13] <gordonjcp> amadeux: various bits of audio software
[09:14] <Lupino> I'm on (K)ubuntu 7.10 and need to upgrade to a newer version of Xgl than that supplied (to avoid a horrible bug, and I can't use aiglx).  How would you suggest I go about doing that, and what problems might it cause?
[09:14] <Tidus> alimoe: didn't see what?
[09:14] <amadeux> gordonjcp, heheh, for audio it's usually the other way around. I find it hard to believe there is audio software for linux that does not work on windows or can be made to work
[09:14] <alimoe> tidus, i didnt the wireless drives
[09:14] <carl_> today i got back after weekend .. and all my settings in evolution is gone .. the same with firefox (all settings and bookmarks gone.. and xchat is somewhat corrupt to
[09:15] <neur2> when in openbox, how do I config the wireless i.e. get to network manager there are no icons and menu is minimal?
[09:15] <cHeChA_cE_EmO> superboy_guitar@yahoo.com
[09:15] <Tidus> alimoe: oh lol
[09:15] <timfrost> g1gaman_: I missed the point about segfault. That package looks like the default for gutsy (I have version 0.7.6ubuntu14.1 on my gutsy desktop).  What did you install that caused the breakage?
[09:15] <carl_> i have the .files .. the filesystem is ok .. and all .. but these three all simutlaneously have corrupt or none settings
[09:16] <gordonjcp> amadeux: maybe it can be made to work in Windows, but then I'd have to learn how to program for Windows, and buy a lot of expensive software, and spend a lot of time porting it across, and stuff like that
[09:16] <cHeChA_cE_EmO> jakarta

[09:18] <QDawg> i am on gutsy using fglrx
[09:19] <timfrost> g1gaman_: I just re-read the paste.  The error may not be in apt itself.  The error is "files list file for package `locales' contains empty filename", so the locales package is the broken one.  Try re-installing that with 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales'

[09:27] <TiJay> eg. scribus which caused my window borders to disappear
[09:27] <lorek> I partitioned /dev/sda into 3 partitions, /sda1 = ext3, sda2 = swap sda3/4 are unformatted at this time. it I only have sda1 checked for format in manual but at the end where it summarizes all the changes made I keep getting 3 hard drives being shown up as going to be formated. :(
[09:27] <lorek> the first one being my primary IDE which I don't want to format.
[09:27] <tarelerulz> I am connected via my lan port and stuff like irc work ,but web pages time out .  Stuff I have in book marks seem to work ,but that is all
[09:28] <Tidus> lorek: unhook it
[09:28] <QDawg> frogzoo: i never ran compiz before this. i just installed it because i found avant
[09:28] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 7.10] What could be the reason for the console message: "Reloading system log daemon" during the startup process?
[09:28] <lorek> ok brb, wish i could hotplug ide drives
[09:28] <Frogzoo> QDawg: the chan for compiz used to be #ubuntu-effects - try there first
[09:29] <QDawg> frogzoo: thanks
[09:29] <Tyroazard> What should I install first if I was going to dual boot XP and Ubuntu on a clean hard drive?
[09:29] <Tyroazard> XP or Ubuntu?
[09:29] <Tidus> Tyroazard: xp
[09:29] <Tyroazard> And what do I do with Grub?
[09:29] <Tyroazard> Is there anything special I need to do there?
[09:29] <Tidus> when you install ubuntu, it'll fix it on its own
[09:29] <bazzieb> has any1 here managed to get 7.10 to authenticate to AD???
[09:29] <Tyroazard> Oh
[09:29] <Frogzoo> Tyroazard: xp first - then ubuntu will setup the boot loader auto
[09:29] <tarelerulz> Could the net just be slow or is there some problem ?  How would I check the setting for my my ethnet port ?
[09:29] <CyberMad> i install ubuntu-server 7.10, then i install gnome with apt-get install gnome   Now, how to start the gnome / xwindow ?
[09:29] <Tyroazard> Okay

[09:30] <Tyroazard> I suppose I don't need that new hard drive, then.
[09:30] <Tyroazard> Thanks
[09:30] <Tidus> CyberMad: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ?
[09:30] <brobostigon> hi
[09:31] <capiira> CyberMad, if you did everything right then a startx or gdm as Tidus told should do the job
[09:31] <san|> Is there a way how can I set preferences of the volume control applet.. now it changes "Mic Boost" but I want it set to master...
[09:31] <Tyroazard> Oh, is there any way to make my display default at 1440x900?
[09:32] <Tyroazard> I use SysInfo to change it currently
[09:32] <Frogzoo> Tyroazard: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:32] <Tidus> Tyroazard: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:32] <bullgard4> Asusu: If you do not know the answer to your question yourself, then you are probably not advanced enough and I would recommend you to install the Synaptic DEB program package. This is much more intuitive to use. Especially for beginners.
[09:32] <capiira> over the xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[09:32] <Tyroazard> I've tried save to config in SysInfo, but it's still 1024x768

[09:32] <bazzieb> has any1 here managed to get 7.10 to authenticate to AD???
[09:32] <capiira> maybe because its night in USA :D

[09:34] <Karotte> is there a way to somehow use mplayer in nautilus to create the thumbnails?
[09:38] <TiJay> Grr I'm tired of running metacity --replace. My borders keep disappearing
[09:38] <TiJay> Can someone explain why that could happen?
[09:38] <bullgard4> Asusu: ' make-dpkg' is no valid Ubuntu 7.10 command. What do you mean by ' make-dpkg'?
[09:39] <Asusu> bullgard4: I've read on some forum that you can make a debian package from a .bin (such as java installer) to make a debian package.
[09:39] <Frogzoo> Asusu: dpkg-dev I guess
[09:39] <Asusu> bullgard4: I have not updated yet to 7.10

[09:45] <Tidus> i'm poking around and tryin to figure it out
[09:45] <bryan> hello , does it possible to change owner of files on all users folders under /home ?
[09:45] <Asusu> what does "!info make-dpkg" mean ?
[09:46] <Tidus> Asusu: attempting to use the bot to find info on a package
[09:46] <Tomcat_> Asusu: Try checkinstall, not sure if it can do that.
[09:46] <lorek> wow that was bloody nasty.
[09:46] <bullgard4> Asusu: So my advice would be that you re-word your problem without the 'make-dpkg' and put it here anew in this channel.
[09:47] <Asusu> ok :)
[09:47] <lorek> looks like the migration assistant did something with my mbr on my ide even though I canceled the installation wizard and shutdown correctly.
[09:47] <Asusu> How can I make a package from a .bin file using ubuntu ?
[09:47] <Textboo1> I was wondering if anybody could explain why playing xvid videos uses 100% of my CPU usage in Linux, please?
[09:47] <Tidus> Textboo1: what player are you using, and what version of ubuntu
[09:48] <Tomcat_> Asusu: Try checkinstall. According to the doc, it can do that.
[09:48] <Textboo1> Tidus: Gutsy with VLC
[09:48] <Tidus> Textboo1: ok, do you have the 3d desktop effects enabled ?
[09:48] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 7.10] What could be the reason for the console message: "Reloading system log daemon" during the startup process?
[09:49] <Textboo1> Tidus: yes
[09:49] <francesco__> Hello!
[09:49] <Tidus> Textboo1: what processor and video card you using?
[09:49] <francesco__> I have to report a bug/
[09:49] <jscinoz> When i press my search key for deskbar it opens in a window instead of the normal bubble-off-systray thing, how can i get this behaviour back?
[09:49] <francesco__> .
[09:49] <MinusSeven> whats the bug francesco__ ?
[09:49] <francesco__> I have problem with Evolution Mail.
[09:49] <Textboo1> Intel Celeron Mobile (laptop) 1.6Ghz x86, Video is ATI Xpress Radeon 200M
[09:49] <francesco__> I can't read the news!
[09:49] <Tidus> Textboo1: that's why it's using 100% ... underpowered video card
[09:50] <Tidus> try turning the 3d desktop effects off
[09:50] <Textboo1> ok
[09:50] <Textboo1> thanks
[09:50] <Zoidfarb> How can I set a shell script to run at startup (as root) before login? I need to launch a daemon.
[09:50] <francesco__> Did you notice this problem before?
[09:50] <Tidus> it gets choppy on my desktop... athlon-64 3500 with a geforce 6600LE
[09:50] <Textboo1> wow
[09:51] <Tidus> i play WoW on linux... disabling the 3d effects doubled my framerate
[09:51] <mwansa> Zoidfarb, a system daemon ? should go in rc.conf in the services array ?
[09:51] <francesco__> I don't know. Maybe, it's a possilble bug. What do you think about that?
[09:51] <Textboo1> ok, going to give it a try and report back
[09:51] <Zoidfarb> I don't know if it's a "system" daemon? It's a DC hub that runs as a background daemon.
[09:52] <Zoidfarb> where is rc.conf?
[09:52] <francesco__> MinusSeven, ?
[09:52] <mwansa> Zoidfarb, /etc/rc.conf
[09:52] <tarelerulz> mplayer is still the best . I use it all the time  and where totem fail it  plays  videos
[09:52] <MinusSeven> Haven't seen that bug
[09:52] <mwansa> tarelerulz, :)
[09:52] <francesco__> Can you read the news with Evolution Mail?
[09:52] <Zoidfarb> mwansa, I don't seem to have that file
[09:53] <Textboo1> Tidus: you're awesome, never even reached 50%
[09:53] <MinusSeven> haven't tried
[09:53] <Tidus> Textboo1: lol np.
[09:53] <Textboo1> thanks again
[09:53] <Tidus> Textboo1: remember, if it looks flashy, or even touches 3d, it's probably gonna kill CPU
[09:53] <mwansa> Zoidfarb, mm sorry i use a different distro so probb wont be able to help much
[09:53] <bryan> can someone plz help me ? i would like to change the owner of all files & folders in the hdd , how can i do that ?
[09:53] <francesco__> I did try, but it seems that Evolution Mail can't read the list of the newsgroups.
[09:53] <mwansa> bryan, chown
[09:54] <tarelerulz> mwansa , What do you think is the best media player for Linux?
[09:54] <Textboo1> now if Flash didn't lock up Firefox every 20 minutes I'd be all set :)
[09:54] <Zoidfarb> VLC is awesome
[09:54] <Frogzoo> bryan: you don't - next question?
[09:54] <mwansa> tarelerulz, mplayer and vlc are both up there. mplayer for me tho :)
[09:54] <Textboo1> I use VLC
[09:54] <aricz> vlc.. \o/
[09:54] <brobostigon> vlc is my choice
[09:54] <lorek> what's vlc?
[09:54] <Tidus> i use xine for dvds, mplayer for all else
[09:54] <Zoidfarb> VLC is a nice lightweight player with tons of features that plays anything
[09:55] <francesco__> I looked for more informations in the internet, and I found out a forum in which a person had the same problem.
[09:55] <brobostigon> lorek !vlc
[09:55] <Tidus> !info vlc | lorek
[09:55] <ubotu> lorek: vlc: multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 1134 kB, installed size 3228 kB
[09:55] <brobostigon> !vlc

[09:55] <Zoidfarb> It also has tons of advanced features nobody ever uses. Has anyone ever used VLC's streaming features?
[09:55] <aricz> Zoidfarb : yups..
[09:55] <lorek> mplayer tends to bug out when I try and play fansubs
[09:55] <bryan> mwansa: can you give me an example how to use the chown command for all files and folders in the hdd ?
[09:55] <Tidus> bryan: why would you want to change the ownership of all files on the HD ?
[09:56] <tarelerulz> I would seen mplayer is the best  ,but it is missing better play list and no repeat in the gui . I like to play songs over and over and short videos
[09:56] <Asusu> Tomcat_: checkinstall seems to be the utility to use. Thanks a lot.
[09:56] <mwansa> bryan, chown [-R] newowner filenames
[09:56] <mwansa> yea ?
[09:56] <lorek> so how would I go about fixing grub up so it'l run off my sata
[09:56] <bryan> Tidus: becouse i copy some files & folders from my old computer and i want to change the owner to my new user account on the new computer
[09:57] <mely> Hey, I'm trying to use the desktop cube and it's not working.
[09:57] <mely> Help me!
[09:57] <mely> I've got Gusty Gibbons.
[09:57] <Daisuke_Ido> okay, i just went from kde back to gnome, and i'm looking for an equivalent to kcron (gui cron job manager)
[09:57] <jscinoz> I'm trying to use deskbar but when i press my search key, the deskbar search box opens in a window in the centre of the screen, rather than the normal behavior of the searchbox-bubble, how can i fix this?
[09:58] <brobostigon> !deskbar
[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about deskbar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:58] <Frogzoo> bryan: chown -R user:group .
[09:58] <bazhang> mely: you have ccsm installed?
[09:59] <mely> bazhang: I'm not sure what ccsm is.
[10:00] <bazhang> !compiz > mely
[10:01] <mely> bazhang: What is !compiz?
[10:01] <bazhang> !compiz | mely
[10:01] <ubotu> mely: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[10:02] <Daisuke_Ido> mely: it's a bot command to have the bot tell you about compiz
[10:02] <mely> bazhang: okay, thanks, will read up.
[10:02] <jscinoz> this is stupid, i've been asking for hours and no one is even acknowledging me...
[10:02] <levander> Where do I go to read about this desktop cube thing everyone's talking about?
[10:02] <mely> !compiz
[10:02] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[10:02] <_DT> compiz fusion is v.nice. together with the emerald theme manager, transparent glassy GUI heaven :-)
[10:03] <bazhang> jscinoz: it is very early in the am, may be better to ask a bit later
[10:03] <levander> _DT: do you have to install an appropriate theme for the cube to work? or, is it theme-independent?
[10:03] <jscinoz> cant ask much later, its 9pm here.
[10:03] <brobostigon> its 10:03 am here
[10:04] <Daisuke_Ido> jscinoz: yes, there it's 9pm.  here it's barely 5am
[10:04] <jscinoz> i know...
[10:04] <levander> _DT: can't find this emerald theme thing on google
[10:04] <jscinoz> basically deskbar search used to appear in a nice little thought bubble coming off its tray icon, now it appears in an ugly window in the middle of the screen, why is this? and how can i get the old behavior back.
[10:05] <_DT> levander: this guide is pretty good : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[10:05] <_DT> the desktop cube is theme independent, but you need to enable the plugin in compiz fusion settings
[10:05] <levander> _DT: that's the same guide ubotu linked to above
[10:05] <levander> _DT: but, thanks
[10:05] <_DT> then press ctrl+alt and click and drag the cube
[10:06] <_DT> yep, same guide. I just used it myself yesterday.
[10:06] <_DT> but I used the tuxfamily repositories
[10:08] <_DT> http://compiz.org/Compiz_and_Compiz_Fusion_GIT_Ubuntu_Repository
[10:08] <_DT> I think it's important to uninstall all the existing compiz stuff from synaptic before installing compiz fusion.
[10:08] <bazhang> _DT: is that for gutsy or feisty?
[10:09] <jscinoz> Deskbar search used to appear in a nice little thought bubble coming off its tray icon, now it appears in an ugly window in the middle of the screen, why is this? and how can i get the old behavior back.
[10:09] <_DT> feisty perhaps, I think it's installed by default in Gutsy?
[10:09] <bazhang> some is, though not the advanced stuff
[10:09] <_DT> I'm still on Feisty, for now
[10:10] <_DT> you can add a repository for emerald themes and there's some really nice ones in there. instructions in the emerald theme manager
[10:10]  * _DT ends compiz fusion rant :-)
[10:11] <bazhang> hehe
[10:11] <wers>  before, the desktop icon of my flv video is a frame from the video. now that I reformatted, it just looks like a blank white paper. how do I make the icon a frame from the vid again? :D
[10:13] <tomd> wers: have you opened the video yet?
[10:13] <sahil> how do i set the keyring password? It didnt  get set by default
[10:14] <tomd> wers: try opening it in totem or whatever kde uses to play videos if you're on kde
[10:14] <wers> okay. tomd :D
[10:14] <bazhang> kaffeine is kde default iirc
[10:15] <tomd> i tried switching my system over to kde, then kaffeine wouldn't properly play videos, so I blew it off, I think i like gnome better anyway
[10:15] <wers> I opened it already tomd...
[10:15] <wers> no diff
[10:16] <tomd> I just tried on one of mine.. blank page, then a few minutes of being in the directory and opening the file, they changed to pictures
[10:16] <Frogzoo> kde is not as pretty
[10:16] <savi0r666> hey if i downloaded a tar.bz2 how can i use it
[10:17] <Frogzoo> savi0r666: bunzip2 x.tar.bz2
[10:17] <brobostigon> tar.bz2 is a compressed file like a .zip savior666
[10:17] <savi0r666> but then you have to compile it right?
[10:17] <savi0r666> is there something that automatically does that for you
[10:17] <tomd> dunno why yours isn't doing it..  there must be a preference for it somewhere..
[10:18] <brobostigon> is it source cde inside savir666??
[10:18] <Frogzoo> savi0r666: tar xjf x.tar.bz2   to uncompress & untar
[10:18] <JohnRobert> I'm using dpkg-buildpackage to build something from source, how can I get it to do something like make clean? It's being a bit...weird :/
[10:18] <savi0r666> frog then itll be ready to use?
[10:19] <tomd> wers: i solved your problem
[10:19] <wers> tomd!!!
[10:19] <Frogzoo> savi0r666: then you need to make, make install etc. - read the INSTALL or README that comes with it
[10:19] <wers> yes??
[10:19] <savi0r666> there isnt hardly any info in the install
[10:19] <tomd> wers: run gconf-editor from a terminal
[10:19] <mely> bazhang: I got my cube setup. Sweetness! Thank you kindly!
[10:19] <wers> and then, tomd? :D
[10:20] <punzada> hmm was definitely compiz slowing my laptop down to a crawling stop
[10:20] <punzada> wonder why, it ran fine in fiesty
[10:20] <savi0r666> i wanted to run freedoom
[10:20] <bazhang> mely: you did it all. cheers :}
[10:20] <savi0r666> but not sure how to handle it after its untared
[10:20] <tomd> wers: go to desktop->gnome->thumbnailers->video@flv and make sure enable is checked
[10:21] <Hiscorebob> hi, does anyone know how to enable  the compiz plugin "dodge" in gutsy?
[10:21] <tomd> wers: also make sure gnome-video-thumbnailer is installed
[10:21] <mely> bazhang: Do you know how to fix the screen resolution? The most I have is 1024x768.
[10:21] <onats> anyone here on 7.10? is the hibernate/suspend fixed already?
[10:21] <Guest16155> !backup
[10:21] <wers> tomd, $ gnome-video-thumbnailer
[10:21] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up.

[10:21] <wers> Expects an input and an output file
[10:21] <onats> clear
[10:21] <wers> mmm
[10:22] <tomd> wers ok, so its there, did you check the gconf setting I showed you, is enable checked?
[10:22] <bazhang> mely: which card? nvidia, ati, intel other?
[10:22] <Smegzor> Today I built a new pc for myself and installed Ubuntu 7.10 64bit.  I can get the wobbly windows, but I can't figure out how to get at any of the newer effects like Expo?  and the cube.  Could someone point me in the right direction?
[10:22] <wers> tomd, yes :D
[10:22] <savi0r666> someone give me a hand please with getting freedoom to run
[10:22] <mely> bazhang: Nvidia.
[10:22] <mattfletcher> HELP! I've used Sony's recovery partitino on my laptop to restore Windows to my laptop (don't worry, I'm putting Ubuntu back on afterwards too!). It has restored the drive to a single Windows partition, but not overwritten the MBR, so GRUB is still coming up and failing. How can I reset GRUB temporarily so it just boots the Windows partition?
[10:22] <Guest16155> does it possible to use dd command on network ?
[10:22] <Frogzoo> onats: suspend is broken for me
[10:22] <onats> frogzoo, what about hibernate?
[10:23] <Frogzoo> onats: not tried
[10:23] <tomd> wers: well, everything is in working order.. do other filetypes work? maybe its a newer version of the codec, etc. im not really sure
[10:23] <bazhang> mely: which drivers are you using? the ones from repositories?
[10:23] <Arnald> can someone point me to an explanation why gutsy installer does not resize NTFS?
[10:23] <wers> mmm.. all I have is this flv vide.. thanks any tomd
[10:23] <wers> btb
[10:23] <wers> brb
[10:23] <tomd> np
[10:23] <Arnald> I assumed this was working since long ago
[10:24] <mely> bazhang: No. I'm using the restricted drivers. (And why is your name in red?)
[10:24] <Arnald> evne the docs are out of date - is this a regression?
[10:24] <Frogzoo> Arnald: which installer? the 2.0 gparted should play nice
[10:24] <Hiscorebob> Smegzor > you'll need to install an extra package, open up synaptic and look for "compiz gnome", you'll find compiz gnome manager, install that, log out and back in, an you will have an additional icon in the system menu
[10:24] <Ogre_CEGUI> hi guys. I have a simple question that do I have some certain command to check the list of locked users?
[10:24] <Smegzor> thanks
[10:24] <Arnald> Frogzoo: the Gutsy live CD one
[10:24] <Frogzoo> Arnald: should work then
[10:25] <Arnald> I need that as it is runnign Win XP, not Linux !
[10:25] <Frogzoo> Arnald: try defragging under xp first
[10:25] <bazhang> mely: to highlight so people can follow the responses more easily--have you tried setting the resolution via the gui?
[10:25] <astocko> Are there any active Ubuntu Developers on? I'd like to ask you a few questions about how to best get into Ubuntu development. If noone answers, I'm assuming I should just hit up the bug mailing lists and start fixing.
[10:25] <Arnald> Frogzoo: according to the user docs, Ubuntu offers a resize option, but it is not there on my CD
[10:25] <Arnald> Frogzoo: defrag?  OK . . . .
[10:26] <Frogzoo> Arnald: won't allow resize if the partition is mounted..
[10:26] <mely> bazhang: I've tried that: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution. The max is 1024x768 and there aren't any other options for me to select.
[10:27] <Arnald> Frogzoo: all this is default, I haven't mounted the partition, does the installer do that - I'd be very surprised!
[10:27] <Frogzoo> Arnald: the live cd has it mounted, unmount it
[10:27] <Hiscorebob> anyone here who got a toshiba sateliite p100 notebook with gutsy ?
[10:27] <Arnald> jeesus - that sounds really dangerous!!!!
[10:27] <tomd> mely: you can probably get a better res by editing your Xorg.conf
[10:28] <tomd> mely: just make sure you back it up prior to attempting this
[10:28] <bazhang> mely: I can give you another link--I am not so good with fixing resolution
[10:28] <tomd> mely, and don't even do it, if you're not comfortable using the terminal
[10:28] <Arnald> Frogzoo: anyone could blow away a partition
[10:28] <mely> tomd: Thanks.
[10:28] <Hiscorebob> I noticed that merely all screen resolution problems have something to do with the driver used
[10:28] <mely> bazhang: I'd appreciate that other link.
[10:28] <Arnald> oh well, I'll investigate next time I get the chance - thanks

[10:41] <evdvelde> hi all, can anyone explain me the difference between the desktop and server edition? what does the server have/lack in comparison with the desktop edition?
[10:42] <Daisuke_Ido> well, it lacks a desktop environment, afaik
[10:42] <bazzieb> every time i create or reply to a new mail in Evolution, it asks me for "Enter password for Global Address List". This email box is on my exchange server. Would it be my AD password it is looking for??
[10:42] <MinusSeven> Which program should I use for streaming m3u, radio stations ?
[10:42] <evdvelde> Daisuke_Ido: but since the repos are the same... is there really a difference?
[10:42] <databuddy> bullgard4 then turn on the boot log
[10:42] <databuddy> ~_~
[10:42] <kane77> evdvelde, server edition is supposed to be used on server where you don't need desktop environment
[10:42] <rtl8139cp> how do i enable external VGA output with the xrand command?
[10:43] <evdvelde> kane77: are the packages different built? or is it just a smaller install? and what about long term support?
[10:43] <Daisuke_Ido> evdvelde: the difference is what's *included*
[10:44] <Daisuke_Ido> not what you *can* install
[10:44] <evdvelde> Daisuke_Ido: so... in fact with a fast network connection, there is no difference?
[10:44] <kane77> evdvelde, LTS is for versions that were marked LTS (6.06 and now 8.04 will be)
[10:44] <segaGman> 7.10 is buggy
[10:44] <Daisuke_Ido> evdvelde: you would still have to install a desktop environment if you wanted one, there *is* a difference in what they're used for, yes.
[10:45] <Daisuke_Ido> segaGman: so's every other OS ever, get over it
[10:45] <segaGman> testy there
[10:45] <bazhang> segaGman: compared to what?
[10:45] <segaGman> geeez
[10:45] <evdvelde> Daisuke_Ido: ah okay... i think that covers it for me, thank you!
[10:45] <gordonjcp> segaGman: can you be more specific?
[10:45] <Daisuke_Ido> just saying, you come in and the first thing you say is that it's buggy.  you need to be a little more specific
[10:46] <segaGman> i got a gforce 2 runig beryl under the fawn yet i cant get it to run on a gforce4mx4000 under gibbion
[10:47] <Daisuke_Ido> probably because beryl doesn't exist anymore.
[10:47] <Asusu> hello. is there an easy way to remove a file from a .deb file package ?
[10:47] <segaGman> your saying it is nowere to be found/
[10:47] <segaGman> ?
[10:47] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm saying it was absorbed into compiz
[10:48] <meborc> segaGman: the compiz-fusion is the way to go
[10:48] <bazhang> segaGman: no longer around for gutsy now compiz-fusion
[10:48] <Daisuke_Ido> compiz-fusion is the remerging of compiz and beryl
[10:48] <gordonjcp> yeah, beryl is obsolete now
[10:48] <gordonjcp> compiz should be ok on a GF4
[10:48] <segaGman> that sucks i like the gui
[10:48] <Daisuke_Ido> the settings gui?
[10:49] <bazhang> segaGman: compiz-fusion is truly amazing
[10:49] <meborc> the gui for C-F is also excellent... i mean the config pack
[10:49] <Daisuke_Ido> or the overall look and feel
[10:49] <segaGman> ever had prob with gforce 4 series?
[10:49] <gordonjcp> segaGman: yes
[10:49] <Daisuke_Ido> i can't justify calling an mx4000 a member of the 4 series
[10:49] <segaGman> i got a mx420 an mx4000
[10:49] <bazhang> segaGman: that the nvidia
[10:49] <gordonjcp> segaGman: the fan seized and fell off its shaft
[10:49] <gordonjcp> other than that it's been shiny
[10:50] <gordonjcp> I only replaced it 'cos I wanted to get ET:QW
[10:50] <meborc> segaGman, install compizconfig-settings-manager and try it out!
[10:50] <segaGman> well i got them gave to me they both came from oem boxz
[10:51] <segaGman> ever herd of ENVY?
[10:51] <bazhang> segaGman: avoid it
[10:51] <jakubTraveler> hi people, i would like to know how  to change subtitle color in xine.. i didn't find it in config file. and google doesn't seem enough helpful..
[10:52] <segaGman> this is just a test rig i install ne distros on weekly
[10:53] <Zoidfarb> How can I set a program to run on startup before login?
[10:53] <Zoidfarb> and keep running after login
[10:53] <xeer> anyone familiar with dmraid? i'm viewing the last of my sectors and i'm not seeing my chipset name.. i do however see my raid1 name. any insight?
[10:53] <zewb> hey i can't find the advanced settings in wubi
[10:53] <segaGman> well  i hate  the MX series now i run beryl on  a gforce2 vs a MX it bull
[10:54] <zewb> did they remove that?
[10:54] <zewb> i want to install fluxbuntu but i have no cd burner
[10:55] <Tidus> zewb: you can install any ubuntu variety, then just enable universe and install fluxbox from that
[10:55] <zewb> ugh
[10:55] <zewb> congratulations
[10:55] <Tidus> !info fluxbox
[10:55] <ubotu> fluxbox: Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1 (gutsy), package size 1033 kB, installed size 3848 kB
[10:55] <zewb> you are the 1000th person to tell me that
[10:55] <zewb> i want to install fluxbuntu
[10:55] <bazhang> zewb: then install it
[10:55] <Tidus> hey, sometimes with no cd burner you gotta take what you can get
[10:55] <Zoidfarb> fluxbuntu isn't an official version
[10:55] <Zoidfarb> so it probably isn't supported by wubi
[10:56] <mrbister> How do I change the default O/S that grub starts?
[10:56] <zewb> apparently the early version of wubi has advanced settings that let you install other os's
[10:57] <zewb> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-50c55488713c68d72e84caf1fb5b3522753d174e
[10:57] <zewb> but i've used all the versions available from the wubi site and none of them have this advanced settings thing
[10:57] <Zoidfarb> maybe they removed it
[10:58] <segaGman> do you think i can dual boot hackintosh ubuntu an experince that hfs+ gives me a headace
[10:58] <bazhang> is there a #wubi channel?
[10:58] <Zoidfarb> what's wrong with just installing xubuntu or something and then adding fluxbox once you've got a working OS?
[10:58] <zewb> because it comes with a lot of extra stuff i don't need
[10:58] <zewb> fluxbuntu is only 300 mb
[10:58] <Zoidfarb> you can remove that...
[10:59] <Textboo1> I'm trying to get ubuntu installed on an Xbox 360, I don't suppose there's anybody in here who has done that is there?
[10:59] <zewb> and i don't have a lot of space on this harddrive
[10:59] <bazhang> zewb: do you have a question?
[10:59] <zewb> yes
[10:59] <tahir> hello, is 'apt-get source program_name' the best way to download source code? Why can't I use aptitude to get source code?
[10:59] <zewb> does anyone know how to install fluxbuntu without burning a cd?
[11:00] <bazhang> zewb: have you checked pendrivelinux dot com?
[11:00] <mrbister> so, no one who can tell me how to change the configuration of grub?
[11:00] <mrbister> I wanted to know where I change the default options for grub (timeout, o/s selection, etc)
[11:00] <xeer> mrbister, check the menu.lst in /boot/grub
[11:00] <Zoidfarb> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:00] <Textboo1> mrbister: it's in /boot/grub/menu.lst I think?
[11:01] <mrbister> thx
[11:01] <mrbister> I will.
[11:01] <Textboo1> oh wow, my memory wasn't wrong

[11:01] <whyas1> is pidgin the best messenger for msn? is there anything that can recieve voice/files and talk to people who are appearing offline?
[11:01] <Toma-> bullgard4➔ as in its a problem stemming from debian, since ubuntu is built upon debian.
[11:02] <bazhang> bullgard4: I believe that refers to debian
[11:02] <_DT> bullgard4: it means it's part of a contributed package from another source AFAIK

[11:07] <punzada> no good
[11:07] <punzada> um
[11:07] <punzada> lol
[11:07] <selene> :(
[11:07] <selene> this happened twice
[11:08] <punzada> may need to try install from the alt cd
[11:09] <segaGman> if he wants it bad enuff order it snail i did with dsl my first distro
[11:09] <diogofsr_> Man, typing without looking to the keyboard and using all the fingers is really HARDER that I expected...
[11:09] <segaGman> but any ways i got probs with mx4000
[11:09] <punzada> I recently fixed my major problem on my laptop, installed gutsy on it and it was randomly slowing down to a halt when it ran fiesty fine, with only compiz wm running and a few apps
[11:09] <punzada> turns out i totally forgot in the install to add a swap partition ;x
[11:09] <punzada> lol
[11:10] <punzada> de de de

[11:11] <BaD-Laptop> ... then head-desks ... ZzzzzZZZzz
[11:11] <punzada> running from swap file now, i don't need resume/suspend features so doubt I'm going to even bother with a partition
[11:11] <wucheng> i start #glxinfo ,but return the message "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[11:11] <wucheng>  g1: Xlib: No protocol specified
[11:11] <wucheng>   Error: unable to open display :0",what should i do ?
[11:12] <segaGman> i wana try that linuxbios deal and run ubuntu from pen
[11:12] <void^> wucheng: don't run it from within a X session as the user who owns the session.
[11:13] <punzada> segaGman, that does look very promising
[11:13] <punzada> extremely quick boots :)
[11:14] <segaGman> i read 3 sec
[11:14] <segaGman> thats crazy
[11:14] <void^> wucheng: er, do, not don't.
[11:14] <gordonjcp> segaGman: well, a lot of the time spent on bootup is waiting for devices to come ready
[11:14] <gordonjcp> segaGman: you can't load the kernel if the drive hasn't spun up yet
[11:14] <punzada> indeed
[11:14] <wucheng> void,what 's the meaning?
[11:15] <Lupino> I need to upgrade Xgl to a newer version than what I get with 7.10/Gusty (must, and can't use aiglx).  How would I go about doing that, and would there be any problems?
[11:15] <void^> wucheng: it seems you are running it on a root shell.
[11:15] <segaGman> well i know i want one
[11:15] <gordonjcp> so if you've got a compressed kernel in ROM then you can be decompressing that and the initrd to RAM while the disks are spinning up etc
[11:15] <wucheng> yes ,
[11:15] <wucheng> does it matter?
[11:15] <j^_> is anyone able to install or build linux-igd on gutsy?
[11:15] <void^> wucheng: yes.
[11:16] <gordonjcp> segaGman: just to annoy the "my computer boots faster than yours" brigade, I can boot my PDP-11 to a command prompt in less than a second
[11:16] <gordonjcp> segaGman: I have to cheat and spin the disks up before bringing up the CPU though ;-)
[11:17] <apastinen> Hi! i need to encrypt some directory which contains all kind files, is there any free software to do it, and it should work also in windows..

[11:18] <wucheng> void , root can not run #glxinfo at this time ?    could you give me a explaination?

[11:34] <muir71> ive got a question for someone if they can help me :P
[11:34] <osl> it says here :  Note the --enable-diskless option. This will build a file
[11:34] <osl>    'stage2/nbgrub'; copy this to your TFTP server directory.
[11:34] <NineTeen67Comet> IanLiu: Is it a windowed item? If so crac open ctrl+f2 and type xkill .. then anything you click the skull on will kill ..
[11:34]  * NineTeen67Comet including your desktop
[11:34] <IanLiu> oh, I think I get it, I must kill wineserver instead of war3.exe =)
[11:34] <osl> does anyone know what is /stage2/nbgrub ?
[11:35] <WauloK> do you support others like Xubuntu here?

[11:46] <nickthorley> hi all - what is the best linux program for doing diagrams - similar to visio - I am trying to illustrate a website site map in case there is a specific product - thanks
[11:47] <honkyzg> problem with nautilus - fresh installed copy od ubuntu 7.10 and right away problem, after some time naulitus takes over the processor - Core2Duo - so only one of them, but it does not seem to release it anyway
[11:47] <Scarey> wers, you need to find the process ID.. write ps --aux to see all the active processes
[11:48] <DanaG> Heh, now my CPU is idling at 31 C.
[11:48] <sunpaw> Why is my battery "not present"?
[11:48] <triplc> hi all
[11:48] <DanaG> It's 64.0 F in my room.
[11:48] <wers> if i want to kill yakuake and I dont want to use the system monitor.. how do I kill it using the terminal?:D
[11:49] <Scarey> wers, if you know what the process might be called you can narrow the search with: ps - aux | grep process_name
[11:49] <Do``> i can't change my desktop background from any application or the appearence dialog.. how do i fix it?
[11:49] <Scarey> wers, if you know what the process might be called you can narrow the search with: ps - aux | grep yakuake
[11:49] <sunpaw> Also, i have yet to get this laptop to campus, but on startup it said it couldnt attach device wifi
[11:49] <DanaG> killall is easier.
[11:49] <Scarey> wers, find the id, and write: kill <id>
[11:49] <sunpaw> any ideas?
[11:49] <janisx_> does anyone know how to stop nm-applet and manual connect to wpa network
[11:49] <buttercups> wers,  or just xkill in a shell, click the app to kill
[11:50] <wers> yeah..
[11:50] <wers> it's just that,
[11:50] <wers> yakuake is hidden
[11:50] <wers> I think, the least complicated way is to use the sys monitor
[11:50] <wers> hehe
[11:51] <triplc> (newbie need advice) Please recommend a web-based server that help collaboration on writing? Currently I am using a Wiki, because wiki allow tracking changes and allow many people to work together (i use mediawiki)... but wiki is not rich text like DOC or ODT file so, it's quite incovenient to produce rich text
[11:51] <janisx_> I do only killall nm-applet or i must do something else?
[11:51] <sunpaw> Why is my battery "not present"?
[11:53] <buttercups> sunpaw, Its probably fully charged , only displays when charging or discharging, if your talking about the icon
[11:53] <sunpaw> buttercups: I am. But it actually says battery is "not present" and im positive its not fully charged
[11:53] <sunpaw> the icon is there
[11:54] <IanLiu> I am making a bash script, and I wanted to pass its $1 argument to a string, like:
[11:54] <IanLiu> foo "bla bla $1". Is this correct?
[11:55] <Lounge> got a problem with displayconfig-gtk in ubstudio
[11:57] <Lounge> what's strange is that id didn't get installed with the installation
[11:57] <sunpaw> I dont get it :( Not only that but hal complained about wifi on startup. GAAAH i want to impress people with linux on my laptop, not make them go ugh
[11:57] <Lounge> so when i sued synaptic to install it, it returned a dpkg erro(1)
[11:57] <Lounge> *used
[11:57] <sunpaw> and here i have vista working better :(
[11:58] <Lounge> however displayconfig-gtk did infact install and is working
[11:58] <sunpaw> course its preiinstalled...
[11:59] <DanaG> Hmm, broken DSDT would cause missing battery.
[11:59] <Lounge> but it wasn't showing up
[11:59] <DanaG> dmesg | grep -i ACPI
[11:59] <sunpaw> ok
[11:59] <DanaG> (i is for "ignore case")
[11:59] <DanaG> Perhaps you'll see some errors.
[11:59] <Lounge> ?
[12:00] <MinusSeven> With the "Workplace Switcher", I can't seen to drag programs into a different workplace

[12:01] <DanaG> Hmm, the easiest thing to look for is a BIOS update.
[12:01] <DanaG> If that won't fix the ACPI code, then you'll have to go hacking at your DSDT.
[12:02] <sunpaw> >.<
[12:02] <Lounge> hmmmm could it be the bios, we wonder?
[12:02] <DanaG> It helps to google for your laptop model number (or series name, more generally) and the word ACPI.

[12:15] <Pici> simmerz: I don't remember what the exact percentage is, but there is a bit of overhead that the ext3 filesystem reserves for his own use.
[12:15] <goamind> so
[12:16] <goamind> I managed to convince my ubuntu
[12:16] <Pici> dinop007: GUI = grapical, CLI = command line
[12:16] <huiii> Tzarak: so, how is this, a pC or Laptop?
[12:16] <goamind> to find an us robotics external modem
[12:16] <Tzarak> huiii pC

[12:58] <crossd> does it work?
[12:58] <h1st0> crossd: yes but ntfs and fat32 need to be defragged first before a resize
[12:58] <scguy318> crossd: yes
[12:58] <crossd> i have heard it has issues
[12:58] <MinusSeven> 1
[12:58] <scguy318> crossd: well, any partitioning tool comes with risks
[12:59] <h1st0> crossd: any partition resizing with ntfs and fat32 has issues.
[12:59] <crossd> is it beta or what?
[12:59] <h1st0> crossd: i've used it sucessfully though several times.  Just make sure you defrag first in windows.
[12:59] <scguy318> crossd: no
[12:59] <crossd> what would the defrag do
[12:59] <crossd> so can i safely use it?
[13:00] <scguy318> crossd: so the partition free space is all chunked near the end of the partition, makes for easier resizing
[13:00] <scguy318> crossd: for any partitioning operation, its a good idea to backup
[13:00] <h1st0> crossd: well fat and ntfs have issues in the way the write data to the partitions. They just kind of spew it all over.  So you could have data near the end and the partitioner would have to move it.  You'd rather move it with defrag trust me.
[13:00] <v1ech> i ve got a geforce go 7600 and no clue how to get it working on ubuntu
[13:00] <v1ech> anybody here that might be able to help me?
[13:00] <v1ech> =)
[13:01] <h1st0> crossd: I believe the gparted will even complain if you don't defrag first.
[13:01] <crossd> do i do the defrag from within windows?
[13:01] <h1st0> yes
[13:01] <IdleOne> crossd: windows tends to just drop the files it uses pretty much anywhere on the drive so defrag will re-organise it and then you can partiton with much safer results
[13:01] <scguy318> h1st0: I'm not sure it'll complain, just take a lot longer to complete
[13:01] <h1st0> v1ech: use the restricted drivers manager and install the nvidia drivers
[13:01] <v1ech> mhm thx
[13:01] <h1st0> v1ech: System > administration > restricted drivers manager
[13:01] <v1ech> ok i ll give it a try
[13:01] <huiii> Tzarak: there is barely info on this, looks like very view people have trouble, but when than its logitech cordless... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620424
[13:02] <h1st0> !nvidia > v1ech (Please see the private message from ubotu)
[13:02] <crossd> but once i do defrag, is it 100% safe?
[13:02] <h1st0> crossd: nothing is 100%
[13:02] <h1st0> crossd: thats why you back up just in case.  What if you were to have a power failure while resizing?
[13:02] <crossd> are any known issues?
[13:02] <crossd> like are there any problems reported?
[13:02] <Pici> crossd: Only if you don't defrag.

[13:03] <h1st0> crossd: and you won't have to worry.

[13:07] <tntCry> scguy318, i did sudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and changed the port theyr to 8080
[13:07] <scguy318> tntCry: ok, though gksudo next time :)
[13:07] <TeemuR> i've tried simply putting in Virtualbox and VirtualBox but it doesn't work
[13:07] <tntCry> k

[13:09] <tntCry> scguy318, ok right now im not at uni but at the server pc can i test it here?
[13:09] <scguy318> tntCry: sure, if you're on the same server as the SSH server
[13:09] <dinop007> Pici: i mean things like if (mouse_pos != 0,0) then alarm("mouse moved")
[13:09] <Pici> huiii: gconftool-2 can
[13:09] <scguy318> tntCry: just connect to yourself with host 127.0.0.1
[13:10] <scguy318> tntCry: that said your syntax needs to add a few params

[13:10] <mrlazaro> hey everyone
[13:10] <mrlazaro> im a ubuntu noob
[13:11] <mrlazaro> can anyone help me here regarding ipod problems?
[13:11] <tntCry> scguy318, im connected on the terminal , how can i make firefox understand that i want it to connect from that tunnel
[13:11] <dinop007> wb scguy?
[13:11] <porkpie> Can I install php4 and php5 using apt-get or will one remove the other ??
[13:11] <scguy318> yeah I dodged the netsplit :P
[13:11] <tntCry> scguy318, im connected on the terminal , how can i make firefox understand that i want it to connect from that tunnel
[13:11] <Jocke> On my newly installed Ubuntu machine, I clicked another workspace in the lower right corner. Then I entered a totally empty cube, I can only see the desktop background and the mouse cursor. Is there a  shortcut so I can switch back to the other workspace?
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: you have to do
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: ssh tntcry@hostname -p 8080 -D 5555
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: then in your Firefox proxy settings
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: manual proxy configuration, only fill in SOCKS Server
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: 127.0.0.1 port 5555
[13:12] <scguy318> tntCry: then use
[13:12] <Pici> !enter | scguy318
[13:12] <ubotu> scguy318: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[13:13] <tntCry> my terminal just freeze :S scguy318
[13:13] <scguy318> tntCry: there is a PuTTY client for Linux, if you like something GUI
[13:13] <scguy318> tntCry: are you on the same server as the SSH server? for hostname, it should be 127.0.0.1
[13:13] <scguy318> tntCry: *computer
[13:13] <tntCry>  yes
[13:14] <huiii> Tzarak: in case ure using kde: http://symbolik.wordpress.com/2007/05/11/ubuntu-keyboard-problem/#comment-6257
[13:14] <scguy318> tntCry: then you should write ssh 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 -l tntcry -D 5555 (I like to write it this way)
[13:14] <scguy318> tntCry: though your user@hostname syntax is fine I think
[13:14] <Jocke> Anyone knows a keyboard shortcut to swith workspace?
[13:14] <scguy318> tntCry: if you haven't already done so, restart the sshd to reload your edited configuration
[13:14] <Tzarak> huiii kde works fine ? kubuntu, isnt it ?
[13:14] <tntCry> tell me scguy318
[13:14] <Sharpie> where do i go to report a bug in compiz-fusion?

[13:15] <tntCry> what is -D 555 ? and why port 5555 on socks?
[13:15] <Jocke> Pici: That just rotates the cube, not switching workspace...
[13:15] <scguy318> tntCry: -D 5555 establishes a dynamic TCP tunnel, a local SOCKS server
[13:16] <scguy318> tntCry: anyone connecting through the SOCKS server will go through the SSH tunnel
[13:16] <dinop007> bb all, thx for help Pici and scguy318! good to have such a good support ^^
[13:16] <Devyll> can I install raid software on 2 harddisks if I already have data on one of them ? if yes can you tell me how ? using what ?
[13:16] <Pici> Jocke: Usually each side of the cube is a new workspace, unless you did some weird configuring.
[13:16] <tntCry> i hope it works
[13:16] <huiii> Tzarak: i prefer gnome = ubuntu, no it ws a question to you, but i dont think this will solve your problem to switch, its probably very simple thing, some configuration thing, if i find some good answer i'll tell u..

[13:18] <Jocke> Pici: yes, it is. It happened when I clicked another workspace in the lower right corner (I usually just rotate the cube instead)
[13:19] <xeer> i tried to install gibbon on a sata disk, it threw up that i had an existing install of ubuntu on another drive and that it would install grub there, i told it no and i wanted it on the new drive, since the old one is getting tossed
[13:19] <xeer> booting to the new disk, i get a grub error code of 17
[13:20] <xeer> went to reinstall it, this time i choose to let it the grub i already had. restarted. now i get a grub error code of 17 on that disk as well.
[13:20] <xeer> which leaves me without a running os on that computer
[13:20] <segagman> im staying with the fawn for a bit
[13:20] <Pici> Jocke: You could try changing the window list properties (the taskbar applet) to show applications from all workspaces temporarily so you can find the application quickly.
[13:20] <Pici> Jocke: I suggest changing your configuration after you're done though.
[13:21] <Jocke> Pici, thanks for helping, I'll look at my configuration.
[13:21] <xeer> can anyone think of a reason why it would install fine and raise an error when trying to boot with grub?
[13:21] <Sharpie> xeer: you formatted a partition after installing?
[13:22] <xeer> i created new partitions on a empty disk
[13:22] <Sharpie> xeer: what exactly is the problem?
[13:22] <xeer> grub gives me error code 17 when booting
[13:23] <ikonia> xeer grub didn't install with correct root option

[13:34] <_nix_> kane77: oh.. k maybe find | grep -i evince should give you a location
[13:34] <holmsi> kane77: yes. it is a broadcom wireless!
[13:35] <kane77> holmsi, well then you have two choices - either try the bcm43xx module (modprobe bcm43xx) or if that doesnt work you can use ndiswrapper....
[13:36] <kane77> holmsi, I used couple of laptops with broadcom and sometimes bcm43xx does the trick sometimes it doesn't...
[13:36] <stuart-> anybody know why my volume control bar is missing, and when i try to re-add nothing happens? when i go to the sound window, it doesn't list volume control anywehre too
[13:36] <holmsi> ok. thanks, i will try!;)
[13:37] <lexko> My restricted device manager is saying it needs the linux-restricted-modules-xxx-server installed, but the -server package does not exist. I'm wondering if I can just switch to the linux-generic from linux-server now that I'm up and running. How would I go about doing that? and now that I have a kernel built that uses LVM and such, would switching to -generic maintain that functionality?
[13:37] <ikonia> lexko lvm support is built in
[13:38] <lexko> hmm..maybe it was that I had to install with the alternate CD for some LVM reasons. So there shouldn't be any issues with switching to -generic from -server?
[13:38] <xeer> is there anyway to edit a file through the recovery console? nano tells me it cant get the terminal
[13:39] <ikonia> lexko: there could be issues, but lvm won't be one of them
[13:39] <Sharpie> xeer: what do you mean it can't get the terminal?

[13:42] <xeer> on the recovery, i selected my primary partition that includes my ubuntu root. spawned shell from that
[13:43] <Sharpie> xeer: why don't you boot from the live cd?

[13:52] <whileimhere> I did that once and funny enough the wireless dies on it
[13:52] <shavin> my firefox just crashed and it wont startup again. i loggedout
[13:52] <shavin> and logged in again but to no profit!
[13:53] <Sharpie> shavin: open a terminal and type sudo ps -Af | grep firefox
[13:53] <CppIsWeird> i have two ubuntu boxes connected directly with lan cable (yes its the right kind of cable) how do i get them talking?
[13:53] <shavin> any idea how to start it? i gave frefox cmd in a term
[13:53] <musikgoat> when i unistalled phpldapadmin,   and reinstalled it,  it didn't push apache reload... and after manually reloading, it seems that it also is not creating the directory for apache.  anyone know how to get phpldapadmin to install like the first time?
[13:53] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: how do you want them to talk, what do you want them to do
[13:53] <Ubun2boy> i've done to install Ftp daemon
[13:53] <CppIsWeird> for now, simply samba betweent hem
[13:53] <Ubun2boy> so i need to see ftp daemon process how can do?
[13:53] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok, so install smaba
[13:54] <ikonia> Ubun2boy: read the docs on your ftp daemon
[13:54] <Ubun2boy> ps | grep ~
[13:54] <Ubun2boy> man
[13:54] <Ubun2boy> man ~ oh ya that it
[13:54] <Ubun2boy> ill try it
[13:54] <Sharpie> stop fludding?
[13:54] <shavin> i did that and there was an output
[13:54] <Sharpie> shavin: what was it?
[13:54] <Sharpie> whileimhere: if it's "blabla...grep firefox" ignore it, it's the grep process, was there anything else?
[13:54] <CppIsWeird> yeah, got samba, the machines wont ping back and forth
[13:55] <CppIsWeird> hints i want them talking
[13:55] <CppIsWeird> communicating
[13:55] <Ubun2boy> oops no manual entry for vsftp .. i've been installed vsftpd
[13:55] <CppIsWeird> realizing where they are in the world
[13:55] <shavin> it like shavin 6015 5996 0 744 744 etc etc
[13:55] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: the machines don't ping, what are the ip addresses and subnet masks
[13:55] <Ubun2boy> all right it there we go
[13:55] <Sharpie> shavin: yes but what does it say in the end
[13:55] <CppIsWeird> i set them statically
[13:55] <ikonia> Ubun2boy: we don't need a commentaryy, this channel is busy enough
[13:55] <Sharpie> whileimhere: in the end of each line is a word
[13:55] <shavin> ah mwait a min
[13:55] <Pici> musikgoat: try purging the package then installing it.
[13:55] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: what are they
[13:55] <Ubun2boy> oh sorry
[13:55] <CppIsWeird> 192.1.3.1 and 192.1.3.2
[13:55] <musikgoat> can anyone recommend how to troubleshoot why phpldapadmin will not reinstall correctly?
[13:55] <shavin> it says something like 0 grep firefox
[13:56] <Ubun2boy> im a begnier so so sorry
[13:56] <shavin> 00:00:00 grep firefox
[13:56] <Sharpie> shavin: ok, type "sudo killall firefox"
[13:56] <musikgoat> Pici: thanks
[13:56] <shavin> sharpie: ok
[13:56] <Ubun2boy> ill find a for beginner ubun2 room u guys know someting??
[13:56] <shavin> sharpie: it says no process killed
[13:56] <shavin> oh i forgot sudo
[13:57] <NewUserr> how do  i disable file and printer sharing on ubuntu
[13:57] <shavin> even so .the same result
[13:57] <Sharpie> shavin: um, try and start firefox now
[13:57] <hdevalence> does cp -R follow symlinks?
[13:57] <musikgoat> purge is not an option of apt-get, pici?
[13:57] <Ubun2boy> fire in the hole ~~
[13:57] <Pici> musikgoat: sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[13:57] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: Ubun2boy what part of "stop talking random" is not clear to you
[13:57] <shavin> nothing
[13:57] <Sharpie> shavin: ok, in terminal: sudo aptitude reinstall firefox
[13:58] <fyrestrtr> hdevalence: nope.
[13:58] <Sharpie> shavin: this will reinstall firefox, don't worry, it won't remove/change your profile and you won't lose your settings

[13:58] <ubotu> Ubun2boy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:58] <shavin> i remeber this happened in dapper too but there i would go to the running processes in admin and stop the firefox process and then it would be fine
[13:58] <CppIsWeird> excuse me?
[13:58] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: meant for Ubun2boy sorry
[13:58] <Sharpie> shavin: yes but there's no firefox profailt, apparently
[13:58] <CppIsWeird> aye
[13:58] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: where did you get those addresses
[13:58] <Ubun2boy> i got it guys
[13:58] <Sharpie> shavin: try to reinstall, it can't do any harm
[13:58] <NewUserr> how do  i disable file and printer sharing on ubuntu
[13:58] <ikonia> NewUserr: file sharing is not enabled by default
[13:59] <shavin> but y shoudl i reinstall firefox. i know that if i reboot it will work ok.
[13:59] <Sharpie> shavin: so reboot :S
[13:59] <shavin> i want to know what is actually happening...in order to learn
[13:59] <NewUserr> ikonia ok thnx
[13:59] <Sharpie> shavin: ok, go to terminal and type "gnome-system-monitor"
[13:59] <CppIsWeird> i made them up, thats how i set up networking in windows.
[13:59] <shavin> i do reboot when this happens. i just thought maybe i should find out the cause
[13:59] <Sharpie> shavin: is there a firefox/firefox-bin/firefox anything in there?
[13:59] <NewUserr> ikonia:printer sharing too?
[13:59] <shavin> ok
[14:00] <ikonia> NewUserr: cup
[14:00] <musikgoat> pici, that worked, the --purge showed me where a .config file was sitting, manually removed that and it worked
[14:00] <musikgoat> thanks
[14:00] <NewUserr> ?
[14:00] <ikonia> NewUserr yup that should read
[14:01] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: so they are both on the right subnet and they are both using the right gateway, and both plugged into the same switch and you can't ping them ?
[14:01] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: can you show me a pastbin of you trying to ping them please.

[14:02] <clouse> Hello there all.
[14:02] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: can you show me a pastbin please
[14:02] <shavin> maybe its something to do with SiS graphics(my infamous integrated chipset)
[14:02] <shavin> but i seen this happening in another machine too, with dapper drake
[14:02] <CppIsWeird> because its this simple: ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
[14:02] <Sharpie> shavin: no idea, i suggest a reinstallation, that's as far as i can help you \=
[14:02] <Ubun2> excuse me im gonna make home network
[14:02] <shavin> thanks anyway, u helped a lot
[14:02] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ls -la /usr/bin/ping please

[14:05] <Lurker_> can anyone assist me in getting my windows machine to print from a printer connected to my ubuntu box?
[14:05] <CppIsWeird> both PC's are connected to my router (on via wireless, one wired) and i connected them together via a lan cable so i could transfer a large backup of my laptop.
[14:05] <ikonia> Lurker_: you need to use cups
[14:05] <Lurker_> I followed the instructions from the wiki
[14:05] <ikonia> Lurker_: and/or samba
[14:05] <clouse> erUSUL: I still like bots

[14:06] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok, so your using a cross over cable yes ? it looks like your default router for the 192 network is going out of the wrong interface

[14:08] <ikonia> CppIsWeird ok - so your router is 192.168, that means the 192.x traffic won't be visable, I suspect your trying to route your private connection through your router rather than down the cross over cable
[14:08] <Ubun2> bingo !

[14:35] <snegler> aight. point taken. however. back to my hd. yesterday the same thing happened but after about half an hour it mounted all by itself
[14:35] <sunpaw> bullgard4: Ah, thank you.
[14:36] <Pici> Rautamiekka: delete it as if you were deleting any other file.
[14:36] <Rautamiekka> Pici: Can I get exact command please ?
[14:36] <Pici> Rautamiekka: rm
[14:37] <Pici> !cli | Rautamiekka
[14:37] <ubotu> Rautamiekka: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[14:37] <Rautamiekka> ubotu: I know how to use Terminal but I don't remember the code to remove a symlink
[14:38] <bullgard4> Rautamiekka: Please read 'man ln '- make links between files.
[14:38] <Ramphis> what's the command for etc/resolve.config or .conf ?
[14:38] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: what are you going to do with it ? I mean, the purpose
[14:39] <Ramphis> Rautamiekka, it's that ubuntu doesnt wanna detect my ethernet at all :S
[14:39] <Ramphis> it was ok at the beginning but now :S it stopped detecting it :S
[14:39] <Ramphis> and I dont know why
[14:39] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: Do you want to open the file or what do you want to do with it ?
[14:40] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: Also, what is the NIC's model ?
[14:40] <Ramphis> I wanna paste it and show you guys for you to help me
[14:40] <ferronica> anyone here using deluge ?
[14:40] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: So you want to open it
[14:40] <Ramphis> I don't know but I got something if u want me to past it to you
[14:40] <monkey_> hi
[14:40] <Ramphis> Yes, I want to.
[14:41] <Ramphis> How do I know my NIC's model?
[14:41] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: Just to open it for read, type this in lower-case GEDIT /ETC/RESOLVE.CONF
[14:41] <snegler> ferronica, yes
[14:41] <Ramphis> I've got a SpeedTouch 536
[14:41] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: Well, if you had windows installed you could get it
[14:41] <Mortice> Rautamiekka: that's /etc/resolv.conf
[14:41] <Menencia> hi evryone
[14:41] <ikonia> Ramphis: open the side odf the pc, or lspci or lshw
[14:41] <Ramphis> Yes, I do.
[14:41] <Rautamiekka> Mortice: ok, didn't know the exact
[14:41] <Menencia> do yu know a good software to burn dvd?
[14:42] <Pici> !burning | Menencia
[14:42] <ubotu> Menencia: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[14:42] <Ramphis> Raeutamiekka, what do you need to know so I log into Ubuntu and come back here
[14:42] <tomm1> Menencia, theres also brasero
[14:42] <Menencia> euh..
[14:42] <Maverick> how can i set my eth0 ip as static and ppp0 ip as dynamic, so that my LAN applications use the eth0 IP?
[14:42] <Menencia> there's a lot
[14:42] <Menencia> i choose anyone i want?
[14:43] <Pici> Menencia: Sure, anything you want.
[14:43] <Menencia> or is there a best one?
[14:43] <Pici> !best | Menencia
[14:43] <ubotu> Menencia: 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.
[14:43] <Rautamiekka> Maverick: By my understand, ppp0 is a nuisance and doesn't help anything
[14:43] <Ramphis> Raeutamiekka, what do you need to know so I log into Ubuntu and come back here
[14:43] <Hiscorebob> the best are brasero and gnomebaker
[14:43] <ferronica> snegler: i am getting TCP port 6881 closed on xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

[14:43] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: Sorry I don't get the question
[14:43] <Pici> Hiscorebob: Please read that message from ubotu as well.
[14:44] <Menencia> how does it work ?
[14:44] <Pici> Menencia: How does what work?
[14:44] <Ramphis> Rautamiekka, I mean you need to know my NIC's model, and that's it?
[14:44] <Maverick> im pretty screwed right here, my ubuntu LAN is not working as my windows LAN does
[14:44] <wers> how do I make my ubuntu desktop look like gnome opensuse 10.3?
[14:44] <Ramphis> I need help with my ethernet
[14:44] <ferronica> snegler: when i test
[14:44] <Pici> !themes > wers (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[14:44] <Menencia> !best > burn
[14:44] <Rautamiekka> Ramphis: If windows can tell it we could search info about it
[14:44] <Radi01> loo
[14:45] <IdleOne> wers: install opensuse10.3
[14:45] <IdleOne> why install ubuntu then make it look like a different distro
[14:45] <Hiscorebob> wers, do you mean the special "start menu" ?
[14:45] <wers> Pici, I'm aware of those things. I was just wondering if you guys know of debs that I can use
[14:45] <Hiscorebob> wers : that comes with Opensuse?
[14:45] <Maverick> how can i duplicate my windows LAN settings in Ubuntu?
[14:45] <Ramphis> Ok
[14:45] <wers> that one too Hiscorebob
[14:45] <Pici> wers: Perhaps you mean the 'slab' menu?
[14:45] <Radi01> Thats what I say. IdleOne.
[14:45] <[chr0n0s]> how do i get 08:07.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) working in gutsy ?
[14:45] <snegler> ferronica, do you use a firewall. are the ports open in it?
[14:45] <ferronica> snegler: ??
[14:45] <wers> the theme too, guys
[14:45] <Rautamiekka> Pici and others, seems that the problem went away
[14:46] <Rautamiekka> So thanks
[14:46] <ferronica> snegler: no i am not using firewall
[14:46] <sunpaw> wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) <==
[14:46] <Pici> wers: The menu package is gnome-main-menu, There probably arent debs for the themes, you'
[14:46] <wers> is it just the latest clearlooks?
[14:46] <Hiscorebob> wers : that is a special package calles gnome-main-menu, you'll need to install it, and then add it to your menu bar
[14:46] <Menencia> oki i choose gnomebaker, good choice?
[14:46] <Pici> wers: you'll have to look for those yourself.
[14:46] <ferronica> snegler: checked on upnp
[14:46] <Pici> Menencia: sure, I use that.
[14:46] <Menencia> oki thanks!
[14:46] <Maverick> how can i duplicate my windows LAN settings in Ubuntu?
[14:46] <ferronica> snegler: nothing done to my modem
[14:46] <snegler> ferronica, no firewall in you modem?
[14:47] <poeloq> Maverick: what exactly do you want to 'Duplicate'
[14:47] <ferronica> snegler: that i dont know
[14:47] <Rautamiekka> Maverick: I think I got you
[14:47] <snegler> ferronica, have you nated the ports in the modem to your ip?
[14:47] <ikonia> Maverick yes, use the network manager and input your ip details
[14:47] <ikonia> Maverick: system --> admin
[14:47] <Maverick> i did that man
[14:47] <ferronica> snegler: no
[14:47] <Rautamiekka> Maverick: You must goto System -> Admin -> Shared Folders and install network supports
[14:47] <ferronica> snegler: you mean port forwarding
[14:47] <snegler> ferronica, try to connect to your modem and forward the ports
[14:48] <ikonia> Rautamiekka why ?
[14:48] <ikonia> Rautamiekka: why does he need shared folders ?
[14:48] <Hiscorebob> ferronica, does your Modem work in windows ?
[14:48] <peepsalot> is it normal for wifi in Ubuntu to take about a minute or so before determining if it can connect or not?  I found this a strong contrast to using wifi on my wii, it connects(or rejects in the case of a bad password) in an instant
[14:48] <Maverick> i dont mean that, the rest of the default settings,  its not working as it is working in windows, like i am not able to see the users, how can i switch of this IPv6 and the rest of the things which are not there in windows, And i dont have shared folders
[14:48] <ke-> Has anyone found a solution to this yet? http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/10/20/ubuntu-gutsy-flashy-but-keyboard-mouse-freeze-up/
[14:48] <Rautamiekka> Ikonia: The point in going to Shared Folders is that he can install the support for win/Lin network
[14:48] <ferronica> Hiscorebob: yes
[14:48] <ferronica> Hiscorebob: i use utorrent in windows
[14:48] <Rautamiekka> Ikonia: He doesn't have to share anything
[14:49] <ikonia> Rautamiekka he didn't ask for that, just for network configs
[14:49] <Maverick> I use a messenging program in windows which does not function properly in ubuntu. even i am not able to see the local game servers on native games....
[14:49] <Rautamiekka> Ikonia: I was not sure which he meant but well anyway
[14:49] <snegler> hmmm. strange 15 min after connecting the usb-drive it mounts all by itself. anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[14:49] <Maverick> this happens with most of the programs
[14:49] <peepsalot> why does negotiating wifi connections in Ubuntu seem so slow?
[14:49] <ferronica> Hiscorebob: utorrent support upnp
[14:49] <snegler> ferronica, and you are fully connectable with utorrent?
[14:50] <ferronica> snegler: yes
[14:50] <Rautamiekka> Ah I go off, I'm getting confused here
[14:50] <ferronica> snegler: but in deluge :(
[14:50] <Maverick> i cannot interact with the other PCs in my LAN, though if i do a ping sweep, i am able to detect the other PCs...:(

[14:58] <Pici> Mplayernogui: Are you on 64bits?
[14:58] <Pici> Stavros: remove ubuntu-desktop
[14:58] <Mplayernogui> pici: yes
[14:59] <aeshyamae> i did dpkg-reconfigure locales but its showing the same error
[14:59] <void^> omar: there's a number of ides available, like eclipse or kdevelop.. there's also monodevelop for .net lovers but i'm not familiar with that.. (and you don't have to repeat everything)

[15:00] <wubbla> hi
[15:00] <wubbla> i am having troubles setting up my Xorg server...
[15:00] <Pici> Mplayernogui: Looks like theres a bug with mplayer on x86-64.  It looks like the workaround is to killall gnome-screensaver before starting.
[15:00] <wubbla> i am using the radeon driver and my benq lcd monitor somehow doesn't support DDC/EDID... so autoconfiguring the best possible display resolution (1280x1024) doesn't work and i always end up with a resolution of 1024x768 (seems to be the default fallback-resolution)... how can i force the monitor (or override the DDC/EDID-process) to use a resolution of 1280x1024?
[15:00] <Pici> Mplayernogui: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/159861
[15:00] <wubbla> X seems to ignore all modelines because of the following reason: vrefresh out of range
[15:00] <wubbla> for example: RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (vrefresh out of range)
[15:00] <Mplayernogui> pici: thx for that!! ill try it and tell u if it works!
[15:01] <Bubulle> Stavros, sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg will remove anything dependant on Xorg, aka every graphic display applications.
[15:01] <cheesuschrist> can anyone help me install the latest nvidia drivers?  I have an 8800GT and the one in the repository doesnt work
[15:01] <ankur> why ubuntu become very slow after using 24 or above hour continiousty?
[15:01] <Stavros> Bubulle: ah, thanks, that should do it
[15:02] <Itz> Rautamiekka, I got it :S
[15:02] <Hiscorebob> cheesuschrist : did you try installing them via envy?
[15:02] <blank__> Restricted Drivers Manager
[15:02] <Itz> but I'm so confused with that file :S /etc/resolv.conf
[15:02] <cheesuschrist> Hiscorebob: does envy work in 7.10?
[15:02] <Hiscorebob> cheesuschrist : check out http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[15:02] <cheesuschrist> i could only see it for 7.06
[15:03] <Hiscorebob> cheesuschrist : basically you install a packacge called envy, wich creates a start menu entry, which launches a script which installs the latest nvidia binary drivers
[15:03] <lexko> how would I go about switching kernels from linux-server to linux-generic? I'm not sure which packages I need to remove and which to add. Is it just remove linux-image-server and add linux-image-generic?
[15:03] <aeshyamae> why alacarte is not taking my locale ml_IN here is the error http://pastebin.ca/798027 i did a dpkg-reconfigure locales but it says ml_IN is uptodate and the alacarte continuous to show the same error

[15:04] <cheesuschrist> Hiscorebob: ah, cool thanx, i didnt see 7.10 on the site a week ago

[15:21] <Hiscorebob> aeshyamae : i was pretty sure that the variable is $locale....but the more i think of it, the more i get confused
[15:21] <steshaw> Thanks Slart and Hiscorebob. Perhaps I'll head over to the Firefox forums
[15:21] <steshaw> Cheers
[15:21] <Maverick> hello, i figured out that my ubuntu is using my ppp0 address for my LAN, thought i have specified the eth0 address. How can i tell it to use the eth0 address for my lan

[15:22] <Jabberwock> Top o' the mornin
[15:22] <jughead> I have a hardware issue that I don't think is related to Ubuntu (it happens in Windows also).  My computer monitor light will go into hibernate mode and the keyboard will stop working.  The computer/fans/everything in the case seems to be working.  Any ideas?
[15:22] <Mplayernogui> Pici: ur still there? i think i need a LITTLE more help
[15:22] <aeshyamae> Hiscorebob: echo $locale shows me a blank line echo $LOCALE too
[15:22] <Jabberwock> Voyage_: By setting your terminal encoding
[15:22] <Hiscorebob> aeshyamae : you should try http://dev.realistanew.com/menu-editor/menueditor_0.4.3ubuntu1_all.deb (but link is down atm)
[15:22] <freak124> I want some kind of dock but I'm a bit new so can anyone tell me what's a good dock that's easy to install?
[15:22] <Maverick> why is my ubuntu using my ppp0 address for my LAN :(
[15:22] <Voyage_> Jabberwock,  how ?
[15:22] <Jabberwock> Could someone please share with me a URL or any information regarding connecting Linux to an OS-X VPN using a preshared key?
[15:23] <YoungBalls> booyakasha
[15:23] <YoungBalls> in it
[15:23] <sabun> ok bye all
[15:23] <Maverick> dude please help :(
[15:23] <Jabberwock> Voyage_: I'm not sure what the Ubuntu way is. Do a search in the online manuals
[15:23] <akincer> Jabberwock: Have you looked at Openswan?
[15:23] <Hiscorebob> aeshyamae : yes my mistake, sorry, it is $LANG
[15:23] <Jabberwock> akincer: I have not. Doing so now. Thank you :)
[15:23] <nephlim> has anyone here had a problem with ssh keepalives with open ssh?
[15:23] <Jabberwock> akincer: Have you done this yourself?
[15:23] <aeshyamae> Hiscorebob: but i am successful in opening up alacarte in english as i  changed LANG to en_US...but i want it to openup in  ml_IN where there is a mistake..
[15:24] <Jabberwock> Doens't seem like the normal pptp software works for this type of thing
[15:24] <Azmir> hi
[15:24] <akincer> Jabberwock: You're welcome. Warning--the config file can seem a bit convoluted and lacking documentation. The listserv can be very helpful
[15:24] <Maverick> how can i make my ubuntu use my eth0 IP for my LAN, its using the ppp0 address
[15:24] <freak124> I want some kind of dock but I'm a bit new so can anyone tell me what's a good dock that's easy to install?
[15:24] <Azmir> i got problem with gutsy
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jughead: sounds like it could be overheating
[15:24] <Jabberwock> Sendmail convoluted?
[15:24] <kanzie> seriously, can anyone aid me in getting airport-config working on my Gutsy Ubuntu?
[15:24] <Azmir> why firefox cannot install flash plugin?
[15:24] <Slart> Maverick: you can't use the "route" command to delete that route?
[15:24] <Maverick> ?
[15:24] <Mark761966> Why can't I find anything useful under the xkbset command?
[15:25] <Azmir> is this error have fix it?
[15:25] <jughead> Jack_Sparrow, is there a way to check my cpu temp via terminal?
[15:25] <Maverick> Slart: Im new
[15:25] <akincer> Jabberwock: I don't do Sendmail, so I can't comment. I'd say on part with Postfix minus the heavy usage and availibility of howtos
[15:25] <wers> how do I edit gnome-main-menu? I mean, I want to change the "Favorite Applications," Favorite Documents," "Favorite Places," etc
[15:25] <kanzie> Can anyone tell me where I can get actual help with Ubuntu-related problems?
[15:25] <Slart> Maverick: no worries.. type "route" in a terminal and look at the output
[15:25] <akincer> Jabberwock: Although Postfix makes more sense IMO
[15:25] <Slart> Maverick: you get one or more routes marked default?
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> jughead: you can check your cmos setings for shutdown temp, you cam look for lmsensors app, but from cli.. I really dont know
[15:26] <Maverick> ya
[15:26] <shigutso> how do I force a password prompt in a Samba Shared Folder between Linux x Linux? In Windows this seems to be automatic, but not in Linux...
[15:26] <Hiscorebob> jughead : acpi -V should do the trick
[15:26] <n1nj4Lo> is it my turn yet to be helped?
[15:26] <Maverick> Slart: the ppp0 one
[15:26] <akincer> Jabberwock: Unless things have changed recently, you cannot do DHCP over Openswan VPN
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: Dont be insulting.. we help lots of people here every day.  If you want you can PAY for support.
[15:26] <Azmir> any help about firefox plug in in gutsy?
[15:26] <Slart> Maverick: every time your computer wants to send something to the network specified by "Destination" and "Genmask" it checks which route to take
[15:26] <Azmir> any help about firefox plug-in in gutsy?
[15:26] <Maverick> default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0
[15:27] <cheesuschrist> when i install the NVIDIA drivers, it goes into Safe Graphics Mode and only does 800x600
[15:27] <Slart> Maverick: that's the only line?
[15:27] <cheesuschrist> im using the latest nvidia drivers
[15:27] <cheesuschrist> i have an 8800GT
[15:27] <Sopor> plugin for what ?
[15:27] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: It was not meant to be insulting at all, but if noone can help me with the problem at hand, perhaps anyone know where I should go to get help. Just trying not to be annoying but rather constructive in trying to solve my issues.
[15:27] <Maverick> Slart: no, theres another one
[15:27] <cheesuschrist> is there a place that has a list of what cards are supported with the driver?
[15:27] <timrit> good day all. i was wondering if anyone has has problems with access to certain websites. i have several that are company related, not adult or pron. when i access them from home they work fine, when i access them from any other computer that is running XP, they work fine. when i dual boot into the dual boot XP install on this machine it works fine. the other computers running ubuntu all have problems but only in this location. any ideas??
[15:27] <Mplayernogui> hi.. how do i use a *.patch file?
[15:27] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: Ill be damned if I have to revert to windows just because I could not find the source of the problem
[15:27] <Maverick> 25.1.1.1        *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
[15:27] <Maverick> default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0
[15:28]  * n1nj4Lo was jus wondering how he gets into dual boot set up in the ubuntu live installer cd 
[15:28] <Jabberwock> n1nj4Lo: I believe it is one of the later install options
[15:28] <kanzie> timrit: My Firefox tends to die on me _a lot_ when accessing websites with heaver load
[15:28] <blank__> Mplayernogui: read "man patch"
[15:28] <kanzie> timrit: such as Wow Armory
[15:28] <Azmir> no help?
[15:28] <Slart> Maverick: your LAN.. home network? what ip-ranges do you use? 192.168.0.1 and so on ?
[15:28] <akincer> Jabberwock: Hope you got my last messages about Openswan.
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: The way you phrased it is an insult to the people that donate their time here.  Attitude and a willingness to read and work yourself helps.   Better questions make for better answers
[15:28] <Maverick> Slart: I am on a wired network, not behind a router
[15:29] <Mplayernogui> blank__: ill try it !!
[15:29] <timrit> no. actually they are sites i need to access for work kanzie
[15:29] <n1nj4Lo> all I see is Guided - use entire disk
[15:29] <n1nj4Lo> Guided - use the largest continuous free space
[15:29] <n1nj4Lo> Manual
[15:29] <Jabberwock> akincer: I did. Do I have to have a direction connection? As of now I am behind a wireless router which uses DHCP
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: Are you running firefox from the ubuntu repo or from outside, how did you install flash? etc
[15:29] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: I myself spend time here helping people when I can. But obviously my problem is over the top since no matter how I phrase my question, people wont touch the problem.
[15:29] <Slart> Maverick: hmm.. it doesn't seem like your computer agrees with you.. what happens if you type "ifconfig".. are there eth0? eth1? do they have ip-addresses?
[15:29] <Maverick> Slart: Still, I am getting problems, thats the only thing keeping me from migrating totally to ubuntu :(
[15:29] <akincer> Jabberwock: That's fine. You will have to designate a static IP on your target secured network for your Openswan connection though
[15:29] <Maverick> Slart: yes they do
[15:29] <Maverick> Slart: I specified them
[15:30] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: The default Gutsy... upgraded from a working Edgy to this and I can hardly use it anymore. Have not done anything to the installation since upgrading
[15:30] <akincer> Jabberwock: You will want to make sure your router is set to allow VPN packets
[15:30] <Jabberwock> akincer: The target machine is a mac-mini with a static IP
[15:30] <Slart> Maverick: just to show you what mine looks like.. I also have a lan.. 192.168.0.1 etc and I have this line.. 192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
[15:30] <Jabberwock> akincer: *nods* Thank you
[15:30] <randomuser> WINDOWS RUUUUULZZZZZZZZZ LINUX SUXXXXXXXXXXXXX!
[15:30] <Jabberwock> Windows is fine. Linux is fine.
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: Did you ever run scripts in edgy like automatix or envy.?
[15:30] <Jabberwock> Everybody get together and love one another
[15:30] <pike_> randomuser: indeed i think windows might be the best os for you
[15:30] <kanzie> Im having problems when I try to launch a java-based app. I get: Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit
[15:30] <kanzie>    at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(libgcj.so.81)
[15:30] <kanzie>    at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(libgcj.so.81)
[15:30] <kanzie>  and so on... what can I do about it?
[15:30] <akincer> Jabberwock: You obviously are trying to get an IP on a remote subnet, right?
[15:30] <Maverick> Slart: I think its a problem with my interfaces file
[15:30] <Slart> Maverick: so everything going to 192.168.0.X uses the interface eth1 which is my ethernet card
[15:30] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: I did use Automator once
[15:31] <Radi01> Linix Rules.
[15:31] <Jabberwock> kanzie: You need the AWT toolkit.
[15:31] <Radi01> dummy
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: That is your problem
[15:31] <french-kiss> hi
[15:31] <rysiek|pl> hi all
[15:31] <Slart> Maverick: might be.. you don't use DHCP I suppose?
[15:31] <Jabberwock> akincer: I'm just trying to get into this box to do some contract work
[15:31] <kanzie> Jabberwock: I tried apt-get install awt and tab but the repo gave me nothing
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: You can NOT undo what automatix did, and it came back to bite you
[15:31] <kanzie> Jabberwock: what should I search for
[15:31] <Maverick> Slart: no, i do not
[15:31]  * brobostigon thinks windows is just plain strange and stupid
[15:31] <kanzie> Jack_Sparrow: It sure did =)
[15:31] <rysiek|pl> did anybody have any experience with option globesurfer icon usb gprs/edge modem under *buntu?
[15:31] <pike_> kanzie: if you grab the tar.gz from mozilla and then drop the flash plugin into the dir that you extract the firefox dir to does it work?
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[15:31] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[15:31] <Mplayernogui> blank__:  can u guide me through this patch plz??? i have really a problem with that :/
[15:31] <Slart> Maverick: ok.. pastebin you interfaces file and we'll have a look at it
[15:31] <Slart> !pastebin | Maverick
[15:31] <ubotu> Maverick: 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)
[15:32] <Jabberwock> akincer: I presume my wifi and ethernet interfaces will be untouched and that ppp0 will be used for the VPN?
[15:32] <kanzie> pike_: I have not tried, I can do that now
[15:32] <[chr0n0s]> how do i get Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) working in gutsy ?
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> kanzie: Your problem is only common. in people that used automatix or envy
[15:32] <Radi01> Automatix leaves holes in your sys.
[15:32] <Jabberwock> [chr0n0s]: Plug it in and tail /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages
[15:33] <akincer> Jabberwock: I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish. Openswan can create a VPN connection using PSK if that is how you have it setup. Although exactly how you are going to configure it without a remote target subnet is beyond me
[15:33] <Maverick> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45918/
[15:33] <Jabberwock> Radi01: That could be said about packages in the ubuntu trees as well
[15:33] <Slart> Maverick: you can add the output from "ifconfig" too.. might be useful
[15:33] <akincer> Jabberwock: It will use ppp0 yes (I think)
[15:33] <akincer> been a while
[15:33] <Slart> Maverick: looking..
[15:33] <kanzie> pike_: Should I uninstall anything or such first?
[15:33] <m13> rysiek|pl: what icon ?
[15:33] <poeloq> does anybody know how to install spca5xx in 7.10
[15:33] <Jabberwock> akincer: I have a target IP, the netmask, and the PSK
[15:33] <m13> rysiek|pl: what icon ?
[15:33] <panfist> hi is there a nice program to copy songs from an ipod to my hard disk?
[15:33] <Hiscorebob> ch0n0s : try modprobe tifm_core followed by tifm_sd
[15:34] <Radi01> But I used automatix/it worked but it also compromised my sys so i learned how to use apt-get.
[15:34] <Jabberwock> panfist: banshee
[15:34] <akincer> Jabberwock: I get that. But you MUST have a target IP to assign to your ppp0 unless I'm missing something
[15:34] <Jabberwock> gtkpod
[15:34] <Jabberwock> akincer: And that must be static?
[15:34] <Hiscorebob> panfist : gtkpod
[15:34] <Jabberwock> I'm a little confused myself
[15:34] <pike_> kanzie: no need for the tar.gz but i dunno i think an apt-get remove --purge might be probematic since i dont know what depends on firefox may work
[15:34] <panfist> jabberwock and hiscorebob, thank you
[15:34] <Maverick> Slart : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45919/ = ifconfig
[15:34] <Jabberwock> akincer: That's a good point. How the heck will it give me an IP on its subnet when it isn't the ISP?
[15:35] <Jabberwock> panfist: You're welcome :>
[15:35] <kanzie> pike_: So I download the tar.gz and then?
[15:35] <Mplayernogui> can one of u guides plz guide me through my first patch of gnome screensaver??? i have a .patch file and im not able to use that :(
[15:35] <Jabberwock> I couldn't get gtkpod to work with my nano
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> pike_: that could very well remove the entire ubuntu desktop
[15:35] <Slart> Maverick: never seen stars in the address field.. sure that's allowed?
[15:35] <akincer> Jabberwock: Exactly. For example--consider a VPN concentrator with a public ip of 4.2.2.2 (yes, I know root DNS). Consider the private IP range to be 192.168.1.0/24. You designate 192.168.1.15 for your Openswan connection (just a random IP)
[15:35] <Voyage_> iam suing xchat. my channel name on the left does not go red or blinks when some one types my nick in the channel main and sends a message for me. how can i do it?
[15:35] <pike_> kanzie: id recommend the tar.gz
[15:35] <Maverick> Slart: I did it to hide the IP, hehe.....dosent matter its local
[15:35] <boris_> Jabberwock : do you play tremulous ? i think ive seen u
[15:36] <[chr0n0s]> Jabberwock, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45920/
[15:36] <akincer> 4.2.2.2 is the static public for your VPN. the .15 address is how your Openswan communicates with the internal IP of the machine you are administering
[15:36] <Jabberwock> boris_: That nickname does not ring a bell, no
[15:36] <boris_> ok
[15:36] <Yobuntu> hello..
[15:36] <ubuntu> hello all,my system failed to boot everytime he stop at fsck and fail can anyone help me fix  this ?
[15:37] <[chr0n0s]> Jabberwock, i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=420721&highlight=Texas+Instruments+Multimedia+Card+Reader, but it failed while loading modules
[15:37] <Jabberwock> akincer: I wonder how the tunnelling will work. Interesting.

[15:37] <Slart> Maverick: oh.. got me confused there... looking at the ifconfig output you don't have a line there with ip, netmask etc.. compare it to mine here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45921/
[15:37] <JParker89> Is there anyone here that could tell me why I would suddenly not be allowed to write to an external drive?
[15:37] <akincer> Jabberwock: Not sure how familiar you are with VPN, but it is conceptually just a way to extend an encrypted virtual wire from the private subnet you are trying to get to back to your machine
[15:37] <Jabberwock> [chr0n0s]: You may wish to add to that
[15:37] <blank__> Yobuntu: you a mixxer
[15:38] <Jabberwock> akincer: It has been years since I've connected to a VPN, and even then it was not with a PSK
[15:38] <Maverick> Slart: so what can I do here?
[15:38] <Hiscorebob> [chr0n0s] : tifm_core has to be loaded first
[15:38] <french-kiss> can somebody help me with fuckin sound problem

[15:38] <kanzie> what to do?
[15:38] <Jabberwock> akincer: so it seems I would have to tunnel it through my wifi IP
[15:38] <[chr0n0s]> Hiscorebob, it's loaded
[15:38] <Jabberwock> Since that's the only external IP I have
[15:38] <Slart> Maverick: not sure.. but I think your problem is that your ethernet card isn't active for some reason.. that's why it routes everything through the ppp-connection...
[15:38] <rysiek|pl> m13: "option globesurfer icon" modem
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: have you tried system pref keyboard
[15:39] <Slart> Maverick: any errors in the syslog? dmesg?
[15:39] <Mark761966> Yes
[15:39] <akincer> Jabberwock: Yes, but that is all transparent and handled automagically by Openswan and your VPN concentrator. Focus on getting Openswan configured to the specs of your VPN concentrator and the rest is gravy
[15:39] <Jabberwock> akincer: Unless I could set up a relay on a dedicated box? Is that plausible?
[15:39] <LiMaO> what's a good stress test to run on a ubuntu system? just willing to try and see how hot the processor gets and also if it'll hang or not during intensive tasks
[15:39] <Jabberwock> Okay :) Thank you
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: did you get an error or what happened
[15:39] <Hiscorebob> [chronos] the loading sequence is very important...i have to load tifm_core first, an then tifm_sd, otherwise it will load just fine but bnothing works
[15:39] <Maverick> Slart: It happens also in all other OSes...It also happened in my old LAN card
[15:40] <akincer> Jabberwock: You are welcome. It might take you a while and make sure you hit up the Openswan list for help with error messages. Google also might provide answers.
[15:40] <Maverick> Slart: how can I check he syslog thing
[15:40] <Mark761966> Oh sorry, did you mean in a termminal, Jack?
[15:40] <Slart> Maverick: you have a network cable attached? =)
[15:40] <Maverick> *the
[15:40] <brobostigon> !dmesg
[15:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:40] <Jabberwock> akincer: You rock!

[15:40] <Maverick> Slart: Yessssss
[15:40] <Mplayernogui> pike_:   can u guide me through the patch plz?? i have the file.. but dont know how to go on.. also with man
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: No   I meant the pull down menus
[15:40] <mohamed_> !fsck
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <kanzie> Is there any way to reload the window manager without restarting X, I keep losing the bars around my window all the time
[15:41] <Slart> Maverick: to check the syslog I'd do something like "dmesg | grep -i error" exchange error for anything else you want to search for
[15:41] <Jabberwock> !rain
[15:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rain - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:41] <Jabberwock> Darn!
[15:41] <Jabberwock> You should know about rain.
[15:41]  * Jabberwock wrote it
[15:41] <Slart> Maverick: bah.. sorry.. that was for checking dmesg.. boot messages
[15:41] <bulmer> kanzie-> try to use suns java, somehow gcj java seems not to work in your situation
[15:41] <Pici> !msgthebot | Jabberwock
[15:41] <ubotu> Jabberwock: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.

[15:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about patch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:41] <kanzie> bulmer: That sounds about right, how do I change
[15:41] <Slart> Maverick: to check the syslog you do something like "grep -i er /var/log/syslog"
[15:42] <kanzie> bulmer: What was the command to set the order in which it should use javac
[15:42] <bulmer> kanzie-> download the jre and jdk?
[15:42] <Mark761966> And I didn't get any error messages
[15:42] <bulmer> kanzie->  man update-alternatives
[15:42] <Radi01> sudo touch /forcefsck    works too.
[15:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: What happened when you added uk keyboard...
[15:42] <chazco> Hi... any idea why Nautilius doesnt follow redirects when connected to FTP? Also, is there a way to skip a disk check at boot time (delay it till the next boot)?
[15:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: did you remove the us keyboard?
[15:43] <Maverick> Slart: should I post it
[15:43] <Slart> Maverick: was there a lot of lines?
[15:43] <Maverick> Slart: yes
[15:43] <Jabberwock> akincer: Slan go foil
[15:43] <Slart> Maverick: you can put both the dmesg and syslog stuff in one pastebin
[15:43] <Maverick> Slart: But mostly system messages
[15:43] <bulmer> chazco-> its field number 6 needs to be changed i think on the /etc/fstab  man fstab to confirm
[15:43] <Mark761966> I added UK keyboard and shut the window, then I reopened it and it was gone
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966 Good luck.. try to ask good questions with details about what you have done and any error that occured
[15:44] <stefano_> i'm gettink asked about installing ubuntu on a usb hard disk. does anyone have a link for a howto on that?
[15:44] <chazco> bi;,er = Disabling it isnt ideal... i mean just skip it if i'm in a hurry (laptop etc)?
[15:44] <kanzie> bulmer: wont they interfere then?
[15:44] <Mark761966> I'm just going to have reinstall the bloody system from scratch aren't I
[15:44] <bulmer> kanzie->  man update-alternatives  will set the default
[15:44] <Mark761966> Because I haven't got a bleeding clue what I did
[15:44] <akincer> Jabberwock: I was afk. What is Slan go foil?
[15:45] <chazco> !autofsck
[15:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autofsck - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: It should not go away ....  I just added it to mine here with no problems.  I need to go.. back later.
[15:45] <Maverick> slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45922/
[15:45] <harryv> hello. can i download the install iso and somehow 'mount' to a partition, boot off that one and install?
[15:45] <kanzie> bulmer: This is not how I solved it in Edgy though, there was a separate command for this
[15:45] <bulmer> stefano http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5151.html
[15:46] <Maverick> Slart: Is my interfaces file proper?
[15:46] <Mark761966> Why won't it save my new preference?
[15:46] <bulmer> kanzie-> i gave you a suggestion, there may be other ways, google for them
[15:46] <Slart> Maverick: I didn't see any obvious errors.. but I've never done much with that file.. never had any problems with it
[15:46] <harryv> theres a exisiting debian install on the box ..
[15:46] <Mark761966> I don't want to go through all the hassle of reinstalling and setting everything up again :(
[15:46] <Pici> !install > harryv (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[15:47] <Maverick> Slart: anyway in which i can set eth0 as default or something
[15:47] <Maverick> Slart: Why does my eth0 in ifconfig not have my local IP address
[15:48] <Slart> Maverick: I don't really know.. it should list it.. just like it does for your ppp interface
[15:49] <blank__> Mark761966: try reinstalling "language-pack-en"
[15:49] <Maverick> Slart: if i disconnect, then it lists my eth0, LOL
[15:49] <Mplayernogui> how can i use a .patch file ? i need that to patch my gnome-screensafer, or my mplayer wont work right
[15:49] <n4p1> can someone tell me how to open the internet of a ubuntu computer for a win 2k client?
[15:49] <Slart> Maverick: what happens if you do this "sudo ifconfig eth0 10.20.60.XX" change the X's for real numbers
[15:49] <blank__> Mplayernogui: read "man patch"
[15:50] <Maverick> Slart: i guess it accepts it
[15:50] <Mplayernogui> blank__: i DID read it but it doesnt help
[15:50] <Slart> Maverick: any changes in the output of ifconfig? did it get an ip-address?
[15:50] <Maverick> Slart: do i have to do that ifup / ifdown thing
[15:50] <LeeJunFan> is there still an option on alternate install CD's to install a server/minimal system? If so how can I install a system w/o a GUI from an alternate CD - I seem to have forgotten how. :)
[15:50] <harryv> thx
[15:50] <snama> harryv
[15:50] <blank__> Mplayernogui: you can only patch source that way
[15:51] <Maverick> Slart: yes it did :)
[15:51] <Slart> Maverick: nah..you interface is up I think.. never seen ifup/ifdown used for anything static
[15:51] <Mplayernogui> blank__:  can i give u link from the patch file, so that u can tell me how or IF i can patch?
[15:51] <Slart> Maverick: ah.. and the "route" command ? any new lines there?

[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Parsi: what does your sources.list look like?>
[15:56] <Parsi> aaa
[15:56] <Parsi> let me see
[15:57] <Slart> Maverick: then we can leave the default to be to use the ppp.. but we have to tell it that all network connections to ip-numbers in the 10.X.X.X range shall use the eth0 interface

[15:58] <Maverick> Slart: no matter, i deleted it
[15:58] <Slart> Maverick: what does the route table look like now?
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Parsi: I never used etch...
[15:58] <Mplayernogui> blank__: u mean the source of gnome-screensaver?
[15:58] <Slart> Maverick: you can use the route del command to delete routes
[15:58] <void^> Mplayernogui: looks like it should work if you just disable the screensaver - recompiling gnome-screensaver seems like a huge waste of time to me.
[15:58] <Maverick> 25.1.1.1        *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0

[16:00] <Parsi> Gutsy
[16:00] <Parsi> Jack_Sparrow: Gutsy
[16:00] <lexko> how would I go about switching kernels from linux-server to linux-generic? I'm not sure which packages I need to remove and which to add. Is it just remove linux-image-server and add linux-image-generic?
[16:00] <Maverick> Slart: just a second, let me post a screenshot
[16:00] <blank__> Mplayernogui: do not ask how to build it.
[16:00] <MystaMax> IndyGunFreak, Do you have any blank DVD+DLs to test with, to verify my results?
[16:01] <Maverick> http://www.file-post.com/view_image.php?id=569

[16:02] <brobostigon> victor_: dont you mean drivers??
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> MystaMax, no unfortuately I don't, but i could have sworn i used them before.
[16:03] <Maverick> Slart : you saw that?
[16:03] <Slart> Maverick: yes.. is that some kind of net send client?
[16:03] <Maverick> Slart: its a LAN messenger
[16:03] <Pici> Maverick: Are you running that program in Wine?
[16:03] <Maverick> Slart: it takes a hell of a time for even a user to load
[16:04] <xurax> does someone know how i can stream my amarok playlist via internet?
[16:04] <Maverick> Slart: yes, but i tried the native program, that too dosent work
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Parsi: debian.org edgy            in your sources list is not the standard list...
[16:04] <Jimmey> I am trying to install paythyme from the repository they give. the installation is looking for /usr/bin/python2.4, but it's obviously not going to find it, as I have 2.5 installed. Is there any way I can fix that?
[16:04] <void^> Mplayernogui: you can disable it, or remove the package. of course, if you care you can build a patched package, but if you've never done it before better expect to spend a few hours :]
[16:04] <treehaqr> how do you find out if you're running 64 or 32 bit kernel?
[16:04] <MystaMax> treehaqr, uname -a
[16:04] <Slart> Maverick: but the other ip's there.. there are 2 that isn't on the LAN, right?
[16:04] <Jimmey> treehaqr, if you have to ask, it's probably 32bit
[16:04] <treehaqr> yeah i did that
[16:05] <Victor__> Hi there, any1 got working drivers for Radeon Ati X1600?
[16:05] <Slart> Maverick: and one that is on the LAN
[16:05] <treehaqr> it doesn't say :)
[16:05] <treehaqr> it just says 2.6.22-14 generic
[16:05] <Jimmey> treehaqr, if it says 386/686 anyway
[16:05] <treehaqr> okay
[16:05] <Jimmey> treehaqr, 32bit
[16:05] <treehaqr> so it's 32
[16:05] <treehaqr> thanks
[16:05] <Pici> Victor__: Whats wrong with the ones from the Restricted Drivers Manager?
[16:05] <brobostigon> x86 , i386
[16:05] <Slart> Maverick: can you ping those other ip's shown there?

[16:07] <Pici> Victor__: did you install xserver-xgl?
[16:07] <Slart> Maverick: I'm not sure if this is a wine-issue or a ubuntu issue...
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Victor__: All too often people blame the video driver when they themselves have not setup the MONITOR refresh rates and type
[16:07] <Maverick> Slart : i am dead sure it isnt a wine issue
[16:08] <Maverick> Slart : coz i have the native application, and i checked it out on google, the software is working fine for others
[16:08] <Victor__> i've read alot of threads about this and there seems to be some problem wit hthe ati drivers
[16:08] <Slart> Maverick: ok.. more ip's in this image than in the last one.. anything special I'm looking for?
[16:08] <treehaqr> has anyone tried getting wine to work with office 2007?
[16:08] <Slart> treehaqr: check the appdb (appdb.winehq.org)

[16:09] <Pici> treehaqr: and #winehq

[16:09] <Maverick> Slart : i have
[16:09] <clouse> Does anyone know of burning software on Linux that can burn to multiple burners at once?
[16:10] <Slart> Maverick: perhaps.. but then you'll have to specify all the other addresses out there on the internet to use the ppp-interface.. that will be a long list
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Victor__: You can paste your xorg to the pastebin if you need help..  as well as your monitor and video card info
[16:10] <brobostigon> xcdroast : clouse
[16:10] <brobostigon> ii think??

[16:22] <Maverick> tried it under crossover too
[16:22] <Maverick> and under cedega
[16:23] <Slart> Maverick: I don't think it's because of the networking in ubuntu.. after the stuff we did that part seems to be ok.. but you never know... if I were you I'd try this without the ppp-connection.. see if that makes it work better.. it might be wine having problems deciding which network is the LAN and which is for internet.. but I just don't know.. I haven't used any LAN software with wine myself so I've never run into these problems
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> _blitz_: NOte.. please setup your monitor as well.. many people forget to do that part

But im not able  to run games through wine ("Direct3D9 is not available without opengl"). I have been able to do this before, but then i decided to update my nvidia drivers, without making bacups. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks. :)

[17:01] <PriceChild> zerosneaker, use the ones ubuntu provides
[17:01] <DrSlony> What is the package management system in Ubuntu called, synaptic or aptitude?
[17:01] <zerosneaker> okey :)
[17:01] <zerosneaker> thanks anyway ^^
[17:01] <MystaMax> B-rabbit, its not a bug, its how username/password are processed by each provider
[17:01] <Pici> DrSlony: Its called apt.  Aptitude and Synaptic are both frontends
[17:01] <Pici> !apt | DrSlony
[17:01] <ikonia> DrSlony: apt
[17:01] <DrSlony> ok
[17:01] <ikonia> ahh Pici is the quick draw
[17:02]  * Pici pokes the bot
[17:02] <ubotu> DrSlony: 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)
[17:02] <DrSlony> Whch frontend, aptitude or synaptic, would you recommend and why?
[17:02] <MikeW> I'm having problem with GNOME's sessions. Particularly, new users seem to be broken, and I cannot use the Switch User feature.
[17:02] <MikeW> Can anyone help?
[17:02] <Pici> DrSlony: well, aptitude is cli based, and synaptic is GUI
[17:02] <ikonia> DrSlony: its personal preference, people liking guis seem to rate synaptic, apptidue can be used using a curses front end
[17:02] <brobostigon> aptitude = cli,
[17:03] <brobostigon> synaptic = gui
[17:03] <DrSlony> ok thank you
[17:03] <MystaMax> i mostly use aptitude
[17:03] <skipjack> Hello, what must I do to connect to a Service (vsftpd) on my RootServer when the Service is not avaible for public (internet). I want to get an ssh-tunnel local to the Internet service
[17:03] <dajhorn> harryv: Those instructions appear incorrect.  The /casper path must be updated to reflect the place where you unpacked the installer.
[17:03] <brobostigon> i use apt-get, cli
[17:03] <MikeW> Should I be in a GNOME channel asking for help, possibly?
[17:03] <MikeW> I assumed this was an Ubuntu issue, as I'm running Ubuntu v7.10.
[17:03] <ikonia> skipjack: not sure I follow
[17:03] <simi> hi, knows anybody who tels the system where to search te internet ,where the internet cames from:from what device  i mean?from what network card or modem
[17:04] <ikonia> simi: pardon ?
[17:05] <dwxreaper> is there a gui program like treesize for windows, to show the files taking the most psace
[17:05] <dwxreaper> space
[17:05] <froglet> dwxreaper: yes, there are lots
[17:05] <MystaMax> recommend one
[17:05] <froglet> filelight
[17:05] <MikeW> dwx: You could use searching tools to search for files larger than a certain size, couldn't you?
[17:05] <froglet> or the gnome one is good too
[17:05] <Pici> dwxreaper: boabab for one, I think it might be installed with ubuntu-desktop
[17:05] <simi> ikonia: i have 2 devices, how linux knows what device connects me to the internet and what to LAN?
[17:05] <froglet> right, boabab
[17:05] <harryv> nevermind. the installer starts, brings up the orange/brown background and a mouse pointer. nothing else. right after 'Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) - nothing more happens
[17:05] <ikonia> simi your default route
[17:05] <ikonia> simi: or your routing table
[17:06] <dwxreaper> mikew: yeah, but i like the way treesize works
[17:06] <froglet> anyone know what this means? run-init: /sbin/init: Permission denied
[17:06] <dajhorn> MystaMax:  Applications -> Accessories ->Disk Usage Analyzer should be installed by default.
[17:06] <froglet> it's stopping me booting
[17:06] <ikonia> froglet: you can't run init, you don't have permission
[17:06] <xzased> hiya all.
[17:06] <simi> ikonia: where can i set that?
[17:06] <dwxreaper> shows directories that are largest, largest of specified types, and size in descending order
[17:06] <ikonia> simi: in the networking admin gui, its normally set via dhcp
[17:06] <dwxreaper> all in one nice gui
[17:06] <froglet> froglet: yup. do you know how i can find out the reason?
[17:06] <xzased> anybody knows how to unblock video ports?
[17:06] <MystaMax> dajhorn, was that for dwxreaper?
[17:06] <froglet> ikonia: yup. do you know how i can find out the reason?
[17:06] <dwxreaper> i'll try filelight
[17:07] <dajhorn> MystaMax: Ooops, yes.
[17:07] <MikeW> dwx: Ah, I see. I think a couple users in here suggested tools along the lines of treesize;)
[17:07] <MikeW> dwx: I just thought, for simplicity, you could use standard UNIX command-line tools to do searches along those lines;)
[17:07] <harryv> he installer starts, brings up the orange/brown background and a mouse pointer. nothing else. right after 'Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) - nothing more happens
[17:07] <froglet> du | sort -n
[17:08] <MikeW> *man's du*
[17:08] <MikeW> heehee
[17:08] <core64> dwxreaper: did you try what dajhorn recommended?
[17:08] <MikeW> haha, that's cool. du's exactly what you're looking for, dwxreaper.
[17:08] <simi> ikonia: i have a modem and it works fine, but when i enable the network card to the LAN the modem will not work, i belive that the it starts but it will close after 20 seconds, i want to know if my system knows where to search the internet
[17:08] <dwxreaper> i typed du | sort -n, didn't show anything
[17:08] <froglet> dwxreaper: wait. a long time :)
[17:08] <cTATUK> http://s11.info/?Documentation:MEGATHREAD
[17:09] <simi> ikonia: i wabt to use scripts and configuration file i do not trus GUI anymore
[17:09] <MikeW> I wish Switch User worked:(
[17:09] <harryv> and there the installer stuck. the mouse stuck, and i can't get back to the console.
[17:09] <MikeW> It hangs my Ubuntu hard.
[17:09] <dwxreaper> froglet: hmm, it just kicks me back to the prompt
[17:09] <MikeW> NumLock doesn't even work after I use it, ROFL.
[17:09] <core64> du -h | sort -n
[17:09] <wasabi_> if i wanted that black mac style wifi icon, i would have to compile my own version of gnome networkmanager?
[17:09] <froglet> dwxreaper: cd / && du
[17:10] <Parsi> please help me! i can't figure out what it needs http://pastebin.com/d4b3c52ae
[17:10] <MikeW> dwxreaper: Did you remember the pipeline? ( | )
[17:10] <dwxreaper> mike: yeah it's doing something now, i got like 30 gig log files on this thing
[17:10] <dwxreaper> and it can't be waking me out of bed!
[17:10] <MikeW> heehee!
[17:11] <wasabi_> Parsi, install pygtk-2.0
[17:11] <Parsi> i can't find it
[17:11] <MikeW> maybe I'll locate some GNOME communities and ask them, instead. I'm almost certain Switch User is a GNOME thing, not Ubuntu.
[17:11] <Parsi> i search google
[17:11] <froglet> is selinux an issue in ubuntu? (trying to see why i can't boot)
[17:11] <stefano__> How can i set that ctrl+alt+del starts gnome-system-monitor?
[17:11] <stefano__> without creepy automatix
[17:11] <MikeW> gnome-fast-user-switching-applet, right?
[17:11] <wasabi_> Parsi, sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev
[17:11] <froglet> how can i generate a new initramdisk?
[17:12] <wasabi_> Parsi, you can search for packages with apt-cache search; apt-get cache search pygtk2
[17:12] <sashimi> hi everybody
[17:12] <MystaMax> hi
[17:12] <sashimi> anyone here using pulseaudio ?
[17:12] <wasabi_> if i wanted that black mac style wifi icon, i would have to compile my own version of gnome networkmanager?
[17:12] <Parsi> wasabi thankx a lot!
[17:12] <brobostigon> !initramfs | froglet
[17:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:12] <wasabi_> Parsi, you're welcome
[17:12] <dajhorn> froglet: `sudo update-initramfs` will update the ramdisk for the running kernel.  Be very careful, regenerating these files can make the system unbootable.
[17:12] <sashimi> !pulseaudio
[17:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pulseaudio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:12] <Voyage_>  i installed eggdrop from package manager manager. where is it located to run ?
[17:13] <froglet> dajhorn: my system _is_ unbootable :-(
[17:13] <dajhorn> froglet: Right then.  Carry on.
[17:13] <froglet> dajhorn: i want to regenerate the files from the live cd. is this possible?
[17:13] <dajhorn> froglet: Yes.
[17:13] <Excentrik> anyone knows how to pin a package that was compiled from the sources? I've compiled a package from source, but now every time apt wants to replace the package with the one from the repositories (they have the same version)
[17:13] <froglet> dajhorn: what's the right way to do it?
[17:13] <dajhorn> froglet: Run the installer and then choose the "Shell on the first disk" (or somesuch) option.
[17:13] <MystaMax> Excentrik, you want to hold the package from future updates...
[17:14] <PerlStalker> Can anyone tell me why enabling or disabling an interface in the Network Manager would stop my keyboard from working and prevent the machine from shutting down?
[17:14] <dajhorn> froglet: I don't remember the exact menu option, but you can choose it early on.
[17:14] <froglet> dajhorn: you mean "boot from the first hard disk" ? i can't do that
[17:14] <wasabi_> anyone?
[17:14] <wasabi_> if i wanted that black mac style wifi icon, i would have to compile my own version of gnome networkmanager?
[17:14] <froglet> dajhorn: that is, when i do it i end up with a kernel panic within 20 seconds
[17:14] <dajhorn> froglet: No, there should be something about a rescue shell on that menu.
[17:14] <Excentrik> MystaMax, well, at least until next version of the package...
[17:14] <froglet> dajhorn: hm, i don't remember that
[17:14] <dajhorn> froglet: I don't remember the exact menu item, perhaps somebody else will chime in.
[17:15] <dajhorn> froglet: From the rescue shell, you can use apt-get to reinstall the kernel, or you can use the update-initramfs command.
[17:15] <harryv> it seems like my installer simply boots me into a minimal system with an unusable gui. what's the command for starting the installer?
[17:15] <froglet> dajhorn: this is what i see, I think: http://www.dailycupoftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/ubuntu01.png
[17:15] <froglet> dajhorn: no rescue shell in that image, at least that i can see
[17:16] <Parsi> sudo apt-get install pycairo <~~ can not find package!
[17:16] <froglet> dajhorn: hm, maybe under the f6 bit...
[17:16] <dajhorn> froglet: Standby... I'm going to check my sandbox for the correct menu option.
[17:16] <Webspot> I seem to have installed a package that doesn't want to purge. I've tried using "sudo dpkg --force-all --purge campcaster-station" but that doesn't remove it either. Any ideas on how to force remove?
[17:16] <froglet> dajhorn: cool, thanks
[17:19] <Pici> Parsi: its python-cairo
[17:19] <MystaMax> Excentrik, you can "lock" a package w/ Synaptic. Or, you could use aptitude and "keep" a package at its current version until a newer version is out

[17:21] <zloog420> <3 lunix
[17:21] <Parsi> i must download them?
[17:21] <Pici> Parsi: yes, and install them, they all are in the package repositories.
[17:21] <Parsi> is there a repos for Avant WM?
[17:21] <imbecile> kk just a quickie. i know u guys r gonna think im an idiot but what is that first screen called where u can swith which OS to load. i know it I just cant think of it this morn 4 some reason
[17:22] <MystaMax> Parsi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981
[17:22] <Pici> Parsi: Not in the official repos, I dont know about 3rth parties.
[17:22] <Pici> imbecile: Grub?
[17:22] <brobostigon> imbecile : grub
[17:22] <dajhorn> froglet: The "rescue a broken system" menu item is not exposed on the 'desktop' CD-ROM, but it is available on the 'server' CD-ROM.
[17:22] <imbecile> ahahahah thanks ;P
[17:22] <froglet> dajhorn: :-(
[17:22] <IdleOne> Parsi: google AWN ubuntu there is a very easy to follow howto
[17:22] <froglet> dajhorn: is there some way to see if my initramfs has become corrupted?
[17:22] <dajhorn> froglet: The boot option is "rescue/enable=true".
[17:22] <MystaMax> oj, did you make sure the directory was present before trying to mount?
[17:23] <steff> hi all
[17:23] <dajhorn> froglet: Try adding rescue/enable=true before the -- using the F6 key at the boot menu.
[17:23] <MystaMax> i wonder if he was trying to compile AWN from source?
[17:23] <Excentrik> MystaMax, thkx, I'll try aptitude (I don't use synaptic and the lock doesn't work there anyway)
[17:23] <froglet> dajhorn: literally? rescue/enable=true - or are you unsure if it's "true" or "enable" ?
[17:23] <Gin> hi
[17:24] <oj> MystaMax: it's a blank partition, ext3 file system, just can't mount it...says you got no permission to mount it
[17:24] <Gin> is there any program to remember the windows size?
[17:24] <harryv> Why does my install-from-harddisk boot into a X-session with no WM or anything , just a mousepointer? Though, it seems like gnome is running judgning from ps.
[17:24] <MystaMax> oj, did you run the command w/ sudo?
[17:24] <Parsi> MystaMax: does it works? echo 'deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
[17:24] <froglet> dajhorn: ah, i see google agrees with that... what an odd looking option!
[17:24] <brobostigon> oj, you need to be root ro mount
[17:24] <MystaMax> sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mountpoint
[17:24] <Parsi> there is " ' "
[17:24] <froglet> dajhorn: will try now. thanks very much for the help
[17:24] <dajhorn> froglet: Np.
[17:24] <MystaMax> Parsi, those instructions are pretty simple
[17:24] <oj> how do i root mount it if i can't see it's location? doesn't say /disk/hda(somethin)
[17:25] <oj> will formatting it help? it's a blank disk anyway...
[17:25] <MystaMax> oj, not sure what you mean
[17:25] <frenky> anyone has DVB-T?
[17:25] <frenky> I have a problem with teletex
[17:26] <|Zippo|> is somebody having troubles to record DVDs with K3B at ubuntu gutsy?
[17:26] <oj> MystaMax : I right click> properties> Drive> mount point: blank, file system: blank Mount option: blank
[17:26] <n8k99> having difficulty getting my ricoh webcam recognized again- I did it once almost accidently
[17:27] <MystaMax> ok, im not sure how you saw properties to a drive that isn't mounted, but if the drive is blank, format it again...
[17:28] <Parsi> MystaMax: thankx
[17:28] <sethk> oj, formatting will not help.  However, if you haven't created the partitions on the drive, then what you are saying makes sense
[17:28] <Parsi> but where is it now?
[17:28] <Parsi> aha
[17:28] <Parsi> i found it
[17:29] <oj> MystaMax: it was mounted, i just can't access it
[17:29] <oj> got that Lost+found folder in it, apparently can only access is as root
[17:29] <sethk> oj, what file system?
[17:29] <MystaMax> oj, oh ok. i would chown permissions
[17:29] <ivan_> hi, i have a problem with wine, it restartes X, i have no nvidia card in my laptop, wine workes under gnome but not under other WM?
[17:29] <sethk>  MystaMax chown changes owner.  chmod changes permissions
[17:30] <MystaMax> sethk, i know
[17:30] <oj> MystaMax: how do i chown permissions through terminal?
[17:30] <pike_> oj: with fat or ntfs you need to mount with certain parameters but with ext3 the permissions are a part of the file system and all ya need to do is treat it like any other directory or file
[17:30] <undertakerx2> I have tried about 4 times now, maybe more to download ubuntu, using diffrent servers each time. but no matter what the dowload fails. any idea why? wirless network simply cutting out?
[17:30] <sethk> undertakerx2, no way to know from your description.  The obvious thing to do is download something else of substantial length, and see if the problem recurs.
[17:31] <pike_> undertakerx2: most likely. id do a continuous ping 'ping google.com' and see if you have any dropped
[17:31] <MystaMax> or ping the server you're downloading from
[17:31] <pike_> undertakerx2: nice thing is torrent resumes
[17:31] <IdleOne> and seeds
[17:31] <undertakerx2> lol ood point pike
[17:32] <Excentrik> MystaMax, using aptitude to lock the package it does work, but if I use dselect (as I usually do) update, select, install asks to install the package from the repositories. Any way to solve this?
[17:33] <oj> pike_ : if i just format it as ntfs instead of ext3, i should be access it right? after installing the ntfs read/write update

[17:33] <rmaj> how to grab a dvd (with dvd movie) into hard drive file(s) so that I can both play it and record a copy of that DVD
[17:33] <MystaMax> Excentrik, that is beyond my knowledge, sorry.
[17:34] <Excentrik> MystaMax, ok, thkx anyway...
[17:34] <sethk> oj, you'll need the UID= and GID= mount options to see ntfs
[17:34] <pike_> oj: yes i havent used the ntfs-3g but it is stable now and works well i hear id look on wiki.ubuntu.com for a step by step
[17:34] <sethk> oj, don't use ntfs unless you are doing something that you need windows to read
[17:34] <popern> When I play music or something on my laptop its sound in the speakers, but when I plug in the headset its sound in both. how can I get only sound in the headset when its plugged in?
[17:35] <undertakerx2> my second problem is i was about to instal fedora core 8 earlier but ouldnt find the partion i wanted, canceled and now have a grub 15 error preventing me from booting ubuntu or win xp, nor can i run fedora live from the rom. any ideas what went wrong?
[17:35] <oj> i'll just stick to ext3 and try that chmod thing. I just forgot what exactly to do
[17:35] <froglet> lastlog -help
[17:35] <oj> in is there a wiki for that?
[17:35] <pike_> oj: brief overview of chmod:
[17:35] <MystaMax> oj, type man chmod from the CLI
[17:36] <froglet> dajhorn: i can't get the rescue mode :-(
[17:36] <harryv> i would really like some help on this one. i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux - it simply starts a X session with nothing but a mousepointer. eventually - whats the name of the ubuntu-installer script?
[17:36] <oj> okay hold on...actually helping my friend..this is not my disk's problem.
[17:36] <froglet> dajhorn: i put rescue/enable=true after the -- , right at the end of the prompt, and i got the GUI
[17:36] <froglet> dajhorn: same when i put it  before the --
[17:36] <Borked|Raider> im in console, why does ls sometimes show the .folders and sometime not? how does i enable/disable ?  and when i cp all from the folder i stand in cp * ~/newfolder/ how do i deside if it should copy .folders (hidden) also=
[17:37] <sethk> oj, either:    chown -R username:groupname /mount/point             or, if you don't want to change owner,   chmod -R a+rw /mount/point
[17:37] <dajhorn> froglet: You may need to punch in the entire boot line which is ...
[17:37] <froglet> Borked|Raider: see if ls is an alias
[17:37] <sethk> oj, the later makes it read/write for the entire world, which may not be a wise choice.
[17:37] <anizee> hello
[17:37] <froglet> Borked|Raider: ls -a shows all
[17:37] <pike_> oj: if you ls -l youll see something like -rw-r--r-- on the left. now the first three --- are your permissions (the owners) the next 3 --- are the group permissions and the last 3 are permissions for all others. now this is binary so chmod 700 sets the first --- value to 7 and to get 7 in binary you need 111 so you have 4,2,1 with power of 2 and that adds up to 7
[17:37] <Borked|Raider> froglet, what about the cp then?
[17:37] <Rautamiekka> What other ways of renaming files there are in addition to "rm filename.exe file.exe" ?
[17:37] <froglet> dajhorn: do i need the livecd for this, or can i ask grub for a rescue mode (running from my hdd?)
[17:37] <anizee> I logged in to xfce and all the toolbars are gone
[17:38] <froglet> Borked|Raider: cp doesn't care, but the shell wildcards do
[17:38] <Rautamiekka> Oops not rm
[17:38] <Rautamiekka> I mean mv
[17:38] <MystaMax> Borked|Raider, cp -R will copy recursively
[17:38] <anizee> what is the command in terminal to run the toolbars
[17:38] <dajhorn> froglet: Yes, you can do it from any prompt, but if the rescue option doesn't work, then you'll need to use the chroot command.
[17:39] <froglet> dajhorn: ok, i can use chroot. but i guess if i do it from the livecd GUI i'll be running the wrong kernel version, so update-initramfs will not work correctly. right?
[17:39] <dajhorn> froglet: Do you know how to use chroot?
[17:39] <froglet> dajhorn: sure
[17:39] <Rautamiekka> Anizee: try this, sudo /etc/init.d/gnome-panel restart
[17:39] <EdwardXP> how do you upgrade the kernel or downgrade the kernel?
[17:39] <dajhorn> froglet: Notice the -k option for update-initramfs.
[17:39] <Borked|Raider> froglet, so what would be the righg cp command to use if i stand in a folder with some sub folders, some hidden with .foldername I want to copy all folders that is not . infront of to a new folder ˝/newfolder/ etc
[17:39] <MystaMax> Borked|Raider, cp -R will copy recursively
[17:39] <Rautamiekka> Dajhorn: kernel updates automatically with a notice
[17:39] <Borked|Raider> MystaMax, not what im asking
[17:40] <Borked|Raider> MystaMax, but thx
[17:40] <MystaMax> rephrase you question then
[17:40] <froglet> Borked|Raider: probably cp * /somewhere/
[17:40] <Borked|Raider> froglet, wont that take the .folders also
[17:40] <anizee> command not found
[17:40] <dajhorn> froglet: If your chroot is kosher, then `update-initramfs -k all -c`may get the desired result.
[17:40] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, wait a moment, I look it for ya
[17:40] <froglet> Borked|Raider: no. the shell doesn't include those when it expands *
[17:40] <Borked|Raider> MystaMax, i want to copy all folders in the current folder to another path/folder/ without folders starting with a .
[17:40] <Borked|Raider> froglet, oki
[17:41] <sethk> Borked|Raider, no, not unless you use the -a flag (or equivalent)
[17:41] <Nfspd> what makes ubuntu better then suse?
[17:41] <asn> Hello, for some reason the Ubuntu LiveCD gives my HD the device node of /dev/sda... I booted with two other LiveCDs and I'm getting my normal /dev/hdc. What's the problem?
[17:41] <froglet> dajhorn: ok. do i have to mount /proc properly, or will a simple chroot do?
[17:41] <dajhorn> froglet: /proc is required.
[17:41] <Rautamiekka> Nfspd: Ubuntu is more automatic and much easier to use
[17:41] <dajhorn> froglet: /boot is also required if it is on a different filesystem than /.
[17:41] <froglet> dajhorn: ok. in that case, i don't _really_ know how to chroot :P
[17:41] <sethk> Nfspd, there is no rational way to say that one distro is better than another.  It depends on what you need to do with the machine.
[17:41] <Borked|Raider> sethk, oki
[17:42] <Nfspd> watch movies, music, and 3d anima.
[17:42] <Nfspd> maybe even a game or two
[17:42] <dajhorn> froglet: The command for you is probably:  HOME=/root chroot /MyBustedRoot /bin/bash --login
[17:42] <sethk> Nfspd, I doubt you'll have any problem with any of the common distros.
[17:42] <dajhorn> froglet: Followed by: mount /proc
[17:42] <dajhorn> froglet: Followed by: update-initramfs -k all -c
[17:42] <Borked|Raider> MystaMax, cp -R * /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/ did the right thing it seams. if there already was a folder with the name in /addons/ that i tryed to copy, would it then overwrite?
[17:43] <dajhorn> froglet: Keep in mind that a sensible alternative to this procedure would be a reinstall over top of the broken system.
[17:43] <Borked|Raider> MystaMax, guess not, as i got cp: cannot create regular file `/home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/VFL_Profiler/.svn/all-wcprops': Permission denied
[17:43] <sethk> Borked|Raider, depends on how your shell is set up.  with -f it will overwrite anything.
[17:43] <MystaMax> with -i, it'll ask you
[17:43] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, you still here ?
[17:43] <Borked|Raider> tx sethk seams to work
[17:44] <anizee> yup
[17:44] <anizee> its xubuntu
[17:44] <froglet> dajhorn: ok. none of that mount -o bind business required, then
[17:44] <Rautamiekka> Anizee: GNOME: Hit Alt + F2 and type gnome-panel. Now the panels should restart, but tray icons won't go back to their places.
[17:44] <Borked|Raider> sethk, cp -R -f * /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/  and i i added -a to it it would also take .folders with it?
[17:44] <asn> Hello, for some reason the Ubuntu LiveCD gives my HD the device node of /dev/sda... I booted with two other LiveCDs and I'm getting my normal /dev/hdc. What's the problem?
[17:44] <sethk> Borked|Raider, or, what MystaMax said (-i) which is sort of approaching it from the other end.
[17:44] <sethk> Borked|Raider, with -a, _everything_ is copied
[17:44] <sethk> Borked|Raider, if you use -a you don't need -R
[17:44] <froglet> dajhorn: can i do that without wiping my data?
[17:44] <sethk> Borked|Raider, the man page will show you that -a is shorthand for combining several flags
[17:45] <oj> sethk: how do i display all the drives/partitions in CLI ?
[17:45] <dajhorn> dajhorn: It depends... If you don't have the fallback device nodes in /dev on the broken root, then you'll need to do a remount.
[17:45] <froglet> oj: df
[17:45] <MystaMax> oj, sudo fdisk -l
[17:45] <Borked|Raider> sethk, oki. Well thx, i just wanted to know how it worked, i dont want all so cp -R -f * /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/ is the right choise for me
[17:45] <anizee> yea, whats the xfce panal
[17:45] <sethk> oj, fdisk -l /dev/hda    if hda is what we're talking about
[17:45] <dajhorn> froglet: If the Ubuntu installer asks you to upgrade the existing system, then your data will be safe.
[17:45] <Borked|Raider> and thx to the others 2
[17:45] <sethk> Borked|Raider, seems reasonable.  There are flags to preserve ownership and modification time data, but you may not care about that.
[17:46] <anizee> Rautamiekka, its xfce, not gnome
[17:46] <dajhorn> froglet: If the Ubuntu installer says something like "use the entire disk" or "repartition", then you may lose data.
[17:46] <froglet> dajhorn: ok, sounds good to me.
[17:46] <Borked|Raider> sethk, naa dont matter. its because i got a svn working dir with what i currently work on and just need the command to move it to another folder to test it
[17:46] <froglet> dajhorn: i have zero clue why this system has suddenly stopped booting, so that's probably the most rational way to go
[17:46] <Rautamiekka> Anizee: sorry you should had said it straight away, just a moment
[17:46] <sethk> Borked|Raider, ok
[17:47] <anizee> sry, Im a douche
[17:47] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, XCFE: Hit Alt + F2 and type xcfe-panel. Unfortunately there is no information published what happens with the panel.
[17:47] <froglet> dajhorn: will try rebooting with my shiny new initrd images, though :)
[17:47] <dajhorn> froglet: The usual glitch happens when proprietary video drivers are installed.
[17:47] <sethk> Borked|Raider, if you are going to run make in the copied directory, you want to preserve modification times.
[17:47] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, please let me know does the icons go back to place and whatever else happens with it
[17:47] <froglet> dajhorn: well, i have them. but they've been working for about a year now
[17:47] <pdelgallego> hi i want to change how the prompt is display in the terminal. Anyone knows how to do it?
[17:47] <niels_> How can I control the fan speed on my intel g31 mobo?
[17:47] <Borked|Raider> sethk, you might be able to help also. if i wanted to make it as a scritp so i can just ./move.sh (not sure about the sh but :D) and it did the command for me and i could move it someplace els so i could run it nomatter what folder im standin it would be nice
[17:47] <dajhorn> froglet: Hmmm...  You should run memory and disk diagnostics on this computer.
[17:47] <Nfspd> im debting on staying on suse or going to ubuntu
[17:47] <Webspot> I seem to have installed a package that doesn't want to purge. I've tried using "sudo dpkg --force-all --purge campcaster-station" but that doesn't remove it either. Any ideas on how to force remove?
[17:48] <dajhorn> froglet: Ubuntu rarely 'just breaks'.
[17:48] <Nfspd> im having process's issues and mem issues on this distro
[17:48] <anizee> Rautamiekka, yea the panel didnt come up
[17:48] <dajhorn> froglet: If you use the closed video drivers, then try to use the Ubuntu-provided packages.
[17:48] <Rautamiekka> Anizee: hmm
[17:48] <froglet> dajhorn: right. it froze, i rebooted and then it didn't want to boot. what disk diagnostics do you recommend?
[17:48] <Borked|Raider> sethk, i just put in the command in a file and make some chmod on it?
[17:48] <MystaMax> anyone know why ubuntu cannot read or write to BLANK Dual layer DVDs? I've tried it on two different PCs, w/ no luck
[17:48] <anizee> yea
[17:48] <sethk> Borked|Raider, the .sh is optional.  you can use $1 and $2 as the first and second arguments, as in,   cp -a $1 $2
[17:48] <dajhorn> froglet: http://www.memtest.org/
[17:48] <dajhorn> froglet: And whatever utility suite is provided by the disk manufacturer.
[17:49] <sethk> Borked|Raider, you should but a first line of   #!/bin/sh    but that's the default so you can get away with omitting it.
[17:49] <Borked|Raider> ok
[17:49] <dajhorn> froglet: Check for SMART error codes on the disk.  SMART prefaults indicate disk rot.
[17:49] <sethk> Borked|Raider, on an executable script, the o/s checks for a "bang" line (The #! line) telling it what program to use to interpret the script.
[17:49] <oj> suppose its /dev/sda3 so i just type fdisk -l /dev/sda3 ?
[17:49] <undertakerx2> my second problem is i was about to instal fedora core 8 earlier but ouldnt find the partion i wanted, canceled and now have a grub 15 error preventing me from booting ubuntu or win xp, nor can i run fedora live from the rom. any ideas what went wrong?
[17:50] <Radi01> hates dick rot.
[17:50] <Radi01> dssk
[17:50] <Radi01> sry
[17:50] <sethk> Borked|Raider, using .sh is not necessary; it's just part of an arbitrary name as far as the o/s is concerned.  If you want to remind yourself that it's a shell script by looking at the name, you can use .sh
[17:50] <ivan_> hi, i have a problem with wine, it restartes X, i have no nvidia card in my laptop, wine workes under gnome but not under other WM?
[17:50] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, do you know which version is your Xubu desktop ? I mean like KDE4
[17:50] <imbecile> what is the name of the usplash switcher?
[17:50] <Borked|Raider> oki, sethk will ask in few when i get the file made and put in the commmand
[17:51] <oj> sethk : typing fdisk -l /dev/sda3 yeilds > disk /dev/sda3 doesn't contain a valid partition table
[17:51] <anizee> hu
[17:51] <sethk> oj, not /dev/sda3, /dev
[17:51] <sethk> oj, sorry, /dev/sda
[17:52] <sethk> oj, fdisk works on a drive, not a partition
[17:52] <ivan_> hi, i have a problem with wine, it restartes X, i have no nvidia card in my laptop, wine workes under gnome but not under other WM?
[17:52] <froglet> dajhorn: SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
[17:52] <Borked|Raider> sethk, so far my file looks like #!/bin/sh  (newline) cp -R -f /home/raider/RDX-Files/trunk/* /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/
[17:52] <NewUserr> hi synapti crashe how can i kill this process?
[17:52] <froglet> dajhorn: ok, rebooting again. thanks once more...
[17:52] <NewUserr> hi synaptic crashed how can i kill this process?
[17:52] <sethk> Borked|Raider, that's fine.
[17:52] <xeer> hi everyone. I'm trying to use mdadm to create a raid1 across two sata drives. when i go to create the array mdadm reports it can't open my partitions, saying it's busy. nothing is using it though.
[17:52] <oj> sethk: okay, trying that,.
[17:52] <sethk> NewUserr, kill -9 processID
[17:52] <gnuskool> g'day
[17:53] <NewUserr> sethk:thnx
[17:53] <Borked|Raider> sethk, can i put it in a folder someplace so i can use it no matter what folder i stand in?
[17:53] <urban> wtf
[17:53] <ja3> hi, how can i access remote windows machine using ubuntu 7.10
[17:53] <sethk> Borked|Raider, sure, if you add that folder to your PATH environment variable
[17:53] <sethk> Borked|Raider, after changing the path, run   hash -r
[17:53] <gnuskool> xeer: using sudo?
[17:53] <Borked|Raider> sethk, hmm not sure what that mean, cant i just move my new file to where all the other files like cp are?
[17:54] <sethk> Borked|Raider, yes, you can do that also
[17:54] <Rautamiekka> Ja3, try this in Terminal: vnc-viewer IPofThewinPuter
[17:54] <sethk> Borked|Raider, but you'll need to be root (or use sudo) to copy a file there.
[17:54] <xeer> gnuskool: yes. "sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2"
[17:54] <Borked|Raider> sethk, thats np
[17:54] <ja3> do i need the vnc on my remote machine too ..
[17:54] <sethk> Borked|Raider, I always create a directory $HOME/bin, and add that directory to my path, as in:  export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
[17:54] <Neatchee> Hey all, I'm in need of a quick and easy way to print envelopes from the contacts in Evolution.  Any suggestions?  Evolution itself doesn't seem to have the functionality (which is a shame)
[17:54] <Borked|Raider> oki
[17:54] <Rautamiekka> Ja3, yes you do
[17:54] <Borked|Raider> sethk, oki will do that
[17:54] <oj> sethk: after doing that..what else needs to be done?
[17:55] <ja3> ah ...
[17:55] <xeer> gnuskool: both of these partitions are empty ntfs filesystems
[17:55] <luiz> is there any small ubuntu version of the 7,10 so it would download faster?
[17:55] <bullgard4> Error message 'NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE' : I do not know what that might be, as in "detlef@MD97600:~$ smbclient -L //MD97600/etc/resolv.conf; Password: ; session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" Google says that it is often misleading.
[17:55] <sethk> oj, That just tells us what partitions exist.  So I need the output to know.  Put it on the pastebin
[17:55] <oj> okay
[17:55] <ja3> thanx Rautamiekka
[17:55] <Borked|Raider> sethk, home = ~/ or just /home/
[17:55] <wib> hi, i want to remove a package with synaptic, but it wants to remove rythmbox, vlc and other programs that i want to keep. how do i fix that?
[17:55] <Rautamiekka> Ja3, I love to help ;)
[17:55] <bruenig> luiz, no, there are some net install isos but those download all the stuff during install anyways so it doesn't really help your situation
[17:56] <anizee> Rautamiekka, no clue
[17:56] <Borked|Raider> sethk, nvm, cant create folders in /home/ so its in home/user/ now
[17:56] <sethk> Borked|Raider, $HOME which expands to /home/whatever,  or ~/,  or /home/whatever
[17:56] <bullgard4> wib: Do not remove that package.
[17:56] <bruenig> wib, it wants to remove those because those things probably depend on the package you are trying to remove, if you want those packages to even be usable, you better keep that dependency
[17:56] <sethk> Borked|Raider, right $HOME is /home/user
[17:56] <Borked|Raider> sethk, next move is to add that to the path thing you was talking about
[17:56] <oj> sethk: http://www.pastebin.ca/798223
[17:56] <ryudo> #join
[17:56] <sethk> Borked|Raider, export PATH=$PATH:/home/user
[17:57] <wib> bruenig, bullgard4: it's a lirc library for remote controls. i want to cleanly install lirc from source...
[17:57] <Borked|Raider> sethk, want me to run that in a console?
[17:57] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, try this: sudo /etc/init.d/xfce4-panel restart
[17:57] <bruenig> wib, compile it and install it on top of the lirc package
[17:57] <sethk> Borked|Raider, yes, and it will only be remembered in that console.  If you want to make it permanent you need to add it to $HOME/.bashrc
[17:57] <wib> bruenig: ok thx
[17:57] <bruenig> wib, you wan't the package management to know you have lirc installed
[17:57] <khamer> Quick question-- the ubuntu official repositories are coming up unauthenticated for me, how to I fix this?
[17:57] <xeer> is it possible to have a raid1 work seamlessly in a ubuntu/windows dual boot?
[17:57] <sethk> oj, ok, you have two linux partitions and a linux swap partition.  Remind me what we are trying to do.
[17:57] <wib> K
[17:57] <Borked|Raider> and when you say export PATH=$PATH:/home/user you mean export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin if thats where i placed the script
[17:57] <anizee> Rautamiekka, command not found
[17:58] <Rautamiekka> grrrr
[17:58] <xeer> that is, a raid1 that is not the primary boot partition
[17:58] <burn_> hi guys, i cant access my other partition, it has a folder called "lost+found" with a lil "X" next to it. how can i access it?
[17:58] <oj> sethk: we're trying to access sda3
[17:58] <anizee> I went into that folder and the prog is not there
[17:58] <asn> Hello. I've been having /dev/hdc as my HD for some years now. Today I had to reinstall Gentoo. I used a Xubuntu LiveCD (The only one I had available), and to my surprise, /dev/sda is my HD in Ubuntu. I burned Puppy Linux and it finds /dev/hdc. What is going on?
[17:59] <bullgard4> wib: our endeavour to install cleanly lirc from source is dangerous. You better leave it as it is just now.
[17:59] <Borked|Raider> sethk, and when you say export PATH=$PATH:/home/user you mean export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin if thats where i placed the script
[17:59] <bullgard4> your
[17:59] <gordonjcp> asn: recentish Ubuntu kernels treat all drives as SCSI drives
[17:59] <sethk> Borked|Raider, correct
[17:59] <bruenig> burn_, http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lostfound.html
[17:59] <wib> bullgard4: but it doesnt work
[17:59] <Neatchee> Hey all, I'm in need of a quick and easy way to print envelopes from the contacts in Evolution.  Any suggestions?  Evolution itself doesn't seem to have the functionality (which is a shame)
[17:59] <Borked|Raider> sethk, what was the command again to update it after i added it to .bashrc
[17:59] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, try this: sudo /etc/init.d/xdm restart
[17:59] <asn> gordonjcp: Riiight, and what would happen if I tried to install Gentoo like that?
[18:00] <burn_> bruenig: okay thanks, gonna try that link
[18:00] <genii> asn: Ubuntu now uses a generic scsi layer/driver which makes all ide devices appear now as scsi dev names
[18:00] <sethk> Borked|Raider, hash -r.  You only need that if you change the path in the currently running shell.
[18:00] <gordonjcp> asn: no idea
[18:00] <asn> gordonjcp: Thank you.
[18:00] <bruenig> burn_, summary: don't worry about it, the directory is probably fooled of incoherent nonsense, just delete it
[18:00] <sethk> Borked|Raider, if you've added it to .bashrc, you need to do:    source $HOME/.bashrc         and then          hash -r
[18:00] <gordonjcp> asn: I doubt if it would work properly
[18:00] <bruenig> full*
[18:00] <asn> gordonjcp: Thanks.
[18:00] <sethk> Borked|Raider, hash -r tells the shell that there is a new path and it should not rely on its cached path info
[18:01] <lexko> how would I go about switching kernels from linux-server to linux-generic? I'm not sure which packages I need to remove and which to add. Is it just remove linux-image-server and add linux-image-generic?
[18:01] <gnuskool> xeer: have a look at this local file, it should answer you file:///usr/share/doc/mdadm/rootraiddoc.97.html
[18:01] <dan> having trouble with dpkg when upgrading vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 anyone know about this problem?
[18:01] <sethk> lexko, yes.  Also, you can have both installed, so don't remove the former until you are sure the latter works properly with your system.
[18:01] <Borked|Raider> sethk, hmm im not able to run it by typing in the filename in terminal, i have done the source and hash -r
[18:02] <sethk> Borked|Raider, left out a step.   for the script file, do           chmod +x /home/user/bin/whatever
[18:02] <Borked|Raider> sethk, oki
[18:03] <Borked|Raider> sethk, still not able to run it
[18:03] <Rautamiekka> Anizee, forget, that's command to reboot window software
[18:03] <sethk> Borked|Raider, what happens?
[18:03] <bullgard4> wib: Procees very carefully. You may deinstall it but first save your configuration files of the programs depending on it. You probably did not investigate the problem carefully enough. Try to find out why lirc is not working as expected.
[18:03] <bullgard4> proceed
[18:03] <anizee> hu
[18:03] <anizee> Rautamiekka, damn
[18:04] <Borked|Raider> sethk, im just trying to use tapcompleation to write the file name, assuming that if it work i will be able to do so.  raider@s-hjem:~/bin$ chmod +x updateinterface raider@s-hjem:~/bin$ cd .. raider@s-hjem:~$ source .bashrc raider@s-hjem:~$ hash -r raider@s-hjem:~$ updatei
[18:04] <wib> bullgard4: k, i'll see if i can get to the cause of it
[18:04] <oj> sethk: sorry if u didn't see my msg before, but we're trying to write to the sda3 partition.
[18:04] <Rautamiekka> Anizee sorry my mistake, I continue looking for it
[18:04] <anizee> Rautamiekka, thx, it dont make any sense
[18:05] <sethk> Borked|Raider,    do:   echo $PATH         make sure the directory was actually added to the path
[18:05] <lexko> sethk i *think* I actually have both installed, but my restricted device manager won't work unless I install restricted-modules-server, BUT that package doesn't exist.  was hoping to simplify things by just moving over to generic.
[18:05] <IOWAHC> hy there. I Am Using Ubuntu gutsy with the zeroconf applet running.. is it possible to configure it, so that a messenger, for example, connects to the aim buddy?
[18:05] <Borked|Raider> sethk, raider@s-hjem:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/user
[18:05] <ItzzRamphis> Raitamiekka
[18:05] <ItzzRamphis> i was waiting for u
[18:05] <IOWAHC> he is telling me No Plugin to handle...
[18:05] <sethk> lexko, that's perfectly reasonable.  I was only saying don't uninstall the server kernel until the generic kernel is properly installed and working.
[18:05] <ItzzRamphis> I did what you told me to do
[18:05] <froglet> dajhorn: i still can't boot, and ran the installer. but it says: The file system on /dev/sda3 assigned to / has not been marked for formatting. File systems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other file systems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[18:06] <Rautamiekka> ItzzRamphis, what was your worry ?
[18:06] <Borked|Raider> lol sethk i found the error
[18:06] <froglet> dajhorn: this is not good :(
[18:06] <sethk> Borked|Raider, should be /home/user/bin, not /home/user, if I understand where you put it.
[18:06] <Borked|Raider> sethk, my user is not suer
[18:06] <ItzzRamphis> my ethernet

[18:06] <Gatestone> I removed all the compiz* stuff and now I don't have window controls!?
[18:06] <undertakerx2> my second problem is i was about to instal fedora core 8 earlier but ouldnt find the partion i wanted, canceled and now have a grub 15 error preventing me from booting ubuntu or win xp, nor can i run fedora live from the rom. any ideas what went wrong?
[18:06] <sethk> Borked|Raider, well, yes, that is a point  :)
[18:06] <Gatestone> Did I loose my Window manager or what?
[18:06] <Gatestone> How do I get it back?
[18:06] <sethk> Gatestone, what
[18:07] <Gatestone> I don't have window borders and controls anymore
[18:07] <scguy318> Gatestone: try metacity --replace
[18:07] <Borked|Raider> sethk, its not needed to do the chmod again right, just source and hash
[18:07] <scguy318> Gatestone: Alt-F2 and that I think
[18:07] <imbecile> what app do i use to change usplash?
[18:07] <jewbilee> is there a way to auto join a channel in pidgin?
[18:07] <Gatestone> even alt-f2 does not worek
[18:07] <sethk> Borked|Raider, right
[18:08] <Borked|Raider> sethk, working now.
[18:08] <anizee> Rautamiekka, Ill be back in a few
[18:08] <Borked|Raider> sethk, was it then posible to make so it promt if i want to overwrite if the file it try to overwrite have been updated since last?
[18:09] <gnuskool> undertakerx2: boot with windows recovery disk, run fdisk 7 fixmbr at prompt to
[18:09] <sethk> Borked|Raider, yes, add -i to the cp command
[18:09] <Radi01> jewbilee: scroll channel list then right click room/add/then in buddy list right click autojoin.
[18:09] <Borked|Raider> oki sethk trying it
[18:09] <undertakerx2> gnu, not asking how to fix asking what went wrong
[18:09] <gnuskool> undertakerx2: should be fdisk/fixmbr
[18:10] <dajhorn> froglet: You may be screwed.  I would make a full backup before proceeding.
[18:10] <polako> hi all, im new to ubuntu, i was just wondering,what do i need to install to run the compiz fusion cube? ill apreciate any help
[18:10] <imbecile> what app do i use to change usplash? google hates me right now
[18:10] <gnuskool> undertakerx2: ahh, dunno O_o
[18:10] <jewbilee> thanks
[18:10] <Radi01> k
[18:10] <scguy318> Gatestone: try restarting X
[18:10] <scguy318> Gatestone: other than that dunno
[18:10] <froglet> dajhorn: ok, i have a spare partition. i'll make a clean installation there.
[18:10] <MystaMax> polako, do you have desktop effects enabled?
[18:11] <undertakerx2> gnu, yeah im lost to
[18:11] <polako> no,just a fresh install
[18:11] <undertakerx2> i did not install fedora only started to
[18:11] <undertakerx2> now i get grub error 15
[18:11] <MystaMax> polako, you have to enable desktop effects, and install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:11] <Borked|Raider> sethk, hmm. it have copyed all the .svn folders also from the source, which was what i wanted to avoid in the first place
[18:11] <polako> i think i need to install ccms or something like that,im just not sure, i only saw a freind do it at his house
[18:12] <MystaMax> yep, thats what i said :)
[18:12] <sethk> Borked|Raider, what args are you using on cp?
[18:12] <polako> mystamax what do i need to do? can you run me trew it plz :)
[18:12] <MystaMax> flag?
[18:12] <asdas> hey, guys, i've got problem, used kleansweap on ubuntu;) now cant start X, how to put back files on recovery console?
[18:12] <sethk> undertakerx2, grub was installed to the MBR, but it can't find the boot kernel.  This makes sense since you stopped installed before the boot kernel was created.
[18:13] <Borked|Raider> cp -R -f -i /home/raider/RDX-Files/trunk/* /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/   but it seams like it only have taken the .svn from the subfolders and not from the /trunk/ folder
[18:13] <froglet> Borked|Raider: yes, that'll happen
[18:13] <Gatestone> W
[18:13] <shishio> anyone knows how to get DivX on ubuntu?
[18:13] <froglet> Borked|Raider: consider using rsync or tar, you can exclude files like that
[18:13] <sethk> Borked|Raider, you can run an follow on command to delete all the .svn directories, as so:
[18:13] <Gatestone> Whoever that was thank you for metacity --replace
[18:13] <undertakerx2> seth/ but grub was already installed from ubuntu
[18:14] <MystaMax> polako, sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:14] <sethk> Borked|Raider, cd /wherever; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn'
[18:14] <sethk> Borked|Raider, cd /wherever; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn')
[18:14] <asdas> anyone nows how to go back with kleansweap on console mode?
[18:14] <froglet> sethk: -name .svn, surely
[18:14] <polako> mystamax thx a lot , ill give it a go
[18:14] <Borked|Raider> froglet, dont know those command, and think i will try sethk delete method.
[18:14] <scguy318> sethk: rm -rf has a better ring :P
[18:14] <sethk> froglet, takes longer, would potentially find files, and he wants to delete directories
[18:14] <MystaMax> BOOT him
[18:14] <froglet> sethk: aye, -type d -name .svn
[18:15] <shishio> anyone knows how to get DivX on ubuntu?
[18:15] <MilitantPotato> Where can I get emerald themes?
[18:15] <Borked|Raider> sethk, with the -i arg it promotet me even tho i havent made any changes to the files it was trying to overwrite
[18:15] <MystaMax> MilitantPotato, gnome-look.org
[18:15] <sethk> froglet, no, without wildcards, that won't always work
[18:15] <undertakerx2> seth, i dont follow/ ubuntu was already installed so i would already have had grub on my system
[18:15] <AutoMatriX> 've got 2 ubuntu laptopts, connected to the same router, can somebody help me to set up a little home network ?
[18:15] <sethk> Borked|Raider, ok.  Let me think about that part for a moment.
[18:15] <Ktron> So, for some reason the ubuntu repositories are showing up as unauthenticated-- how do I fix this? Trying to find info on this
[18:15] <Rautamiekka> AutoMatrix: what kind of network ?
[18:16] <sethk> undertakerx2, the error 15 means that the kernel file isn't where grub is trying to find it.
[18:16] <froglet> sethk: i thought he was just trying to remove directories named .svn, not foo.svnbar
[18:16] <|thunder> what do i need to play a wmv embedded in a webpage with firefox on gutsy ?
[18:16] <Borked|Raider> sethk, cd /wherever; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn')  a way to make it move back to the folder i was standing in after or does it just local in the script file move to that path?
[18:16] <sethk> undertakerx2, so I think you removed the kernel file in your partial install
[18:16] <Rautamiekka> AutoMatrix: you mean like a LAN where you can share files ?
[18:16] <undertakerx2> frog , yes i know
[18:16] <eidolon> hi folks - anyone know how to fix the formatting of the 'dmesg' output?  it's formatting to [2905661.808353] sd 17:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 - how do i make that readable?
[18:16] <shishio> anyone knows how to get DivX on ubuntu?
[18:16] <sethk> Borked|Raider, you can put at the beginning:               pushd              and at the end             popd
[18:16] <sethk> Borked|Raider, for push directory and pop directory

[18:17] <MystaMax> shishio, you want to watch divx files?
[18:17] <alimoe_> hey all
[18:17] <sethk> Borked|Raider, use pushd instead of cd, then use popd at the end
[18:17] <Borked|Raider> hmm sorry, dint understand that. so far #!/bin/sh cp -R -f -i /home/raider/RDX-Files/trunk/* /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/ cd /home/raider/woW/Interface/Addons/ ; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn')
[18:17] <Borked|Raider> oki sethk
[18:17] <Tzarak> hi alimoe_
[18:17] <AutoMatriX> Rautamiekka, yes, I'd like some directories and do some synchronising
[18:17] <asdas> Hello, whos is using kleansweep?
[18:17] <shishio> MystaMax : i want to watch movies, but it requires DivX
[18:17] <Ktron> Where do I get the keys for the official ubuntu repositories?
[18:17] <alimoe_> redhat vs ubuntu???
[18:17] <dwxreaper> how can i recrusivley delete all files, but not directories
[18:17] <Borked|Raider> like this sethk pushd /home/raider/woW/Interface/Addons/ ; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn'); popd
[18:17] <Rautamiekka> AutoMatrix, that is easily done by going to System -> Admin -> Shared Folders, install network supports and share files
[18:18] <MystaMax> !vlc > shishio
[18:18] <Rautamiekka> AutoMatrix: That's it
[18:18] <sethk> Borked|Raider, you can use the directory name instead of . in find . -type   ....  and avoid changing directories altogether.
[18:18] <cox> does anyone know how to determine my motherboard via command line?
[18:18] <sethk> Borked|Raider, yes, that looks good
[18:18] <Andycasss> How to see crontab logs?
[18:18] <shishio> MystaMax : codecs? hot can i put codecs on mozilla
[18:18] <AutoMatriX> ok, going to try that and translate your widom in french, sorry my English is not that good
[18:18] <Rautamiekka> Oh

[18:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kleansweaper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:19] <Borked|Raider> sethk, /home/raider/bin/updateinterface: 3: pushd: not found
[18:19] <AutoMatriX> Rautamiekka, but at least I got some response here ... on the french side I got nothin'
[18:19] <dwxreaper> how can i recrusivley delete all files, but not directories
[18:19] <PeaceNLove> What do I put into /etc/network/interfaces to keep eth0 down at all time ?

[18:19] <stuart-> anybody know why my volume control bar is missing, and when i try to re-add nothing happens? when i go to the sound window, it doesn't list volume control anywehre too
[18:19] <Ktron> Where do I get the keys for the official ubuntu repositories?
[18:19] <froglet> dwxreaper: find . -type f -exec rm {} ';'
[18:19] <froglet> dwxreaper: warning: test this first, i am not 100% sure
[18:20] <sethk> Borked|Raider, I just ran it here, and    pushd /path/to/cd/to   works
[18:20] <sethk> Borked|Raider, no, actually, wait
[18:20] <orochi_> Hello :> I'm experiencing stuttering audio in games and some applications (examples BZFlag, Totem when playing DivX files, any 2d/3d Java application)...my audio is an onboard chip based on Intel's ICH8 chipset, is there some setting I could change to fix it? :/
[18:20] <Borked|Raider> sethk, pushd /home/raider/woW/Interface/Addons/ ; rm -fr $(find . -type d | egrep '\.svn'); popd                  thats how the line look
[18:20] <sethk> Borked|Raider, I use zsh, which is a far superior shell.  Perhaps bash doesn't has pushd/popd.  Although I thought it did
[18:20] <dwxreaper> froglet: lol
[18:20] <sethk> Borked|Raider, I checked, bash does have pushd/popd
[18:21] <PCeci> HELLO everybody!
[18:21] <Borked|Raider> sethk, np, i will use change it to use the path in the rm command
[18:21] <macogw> sethk: last i checked, zsh didn't have tab-autocomplete
[18:21] <Rautamiekka> Orochi_, I think you have OSS enabled instead of ALSA
[18:21] <dwxreaper> froglet: well if i don't care what gets deleted to much under a certain dir, should it be ok, if i start the command there
[18:21] <Rautamiekka> Orochi_, OSS is known to be non-working
[18:21] <froglet> dwxreaper: yes, cd to the directory first
[18:21] <gnuskool> PCeci: g'day
[18:21] <Borked|Raider> sethk, rm -fr $(find /home/raider/woW/Interface/Addons/ -type d | egrep '\.svn');  like this right
[18:21] <sethk> macogw, you can't be serious.  The tab completion features of zsh are one of the main reasons it is superior to bash
[18:21] <orochi_> Rautamiekka, how could I ensure that ALSA is enabled over OSS?
[18:22] <Rautamiekka> Orochi, goto System-Pref-Sound
[18:22] <orochi_> (Volume mixer shows my sound card as HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer))
[18:22] <sethk> Borked|Raider, looks good.
[18:22] <PCeci> I'm sorry to disturb, but Ive got a problem with my Internet connection using Ubuntu 7.10, can anyone help?
[18:22] <Rautamiekka> Orochi, then I'm out of ideas if the prob ain't there
[18:22] <Giftmatcher> sure PCeci, whats up?
[18:22] <core64> whats wrong PCeci
[18:22] <Rautamiekka> PCeci, please explain
[18:22] <PCeci> thanks!
[18:22] <PCeci> sure
[18:22] <gnuskool> PCeci: no disturbance my goodfella, ask away
[18:22] <jeansch> Hi, is there a way to blacklist a module at the live-cd starting ?
[18:23] <cox> does anyone know how to extract a selfextracting exe file?
[18:23] <PCeci> I'm using a wifi net USB device, a Belkin with ra2500 chipset
[18:23] <froglet> cox: wine?
[18:23] <jeansch> cox: wine ? unzip ?
[18:23] <sethk> macogw, for example, with bash, if you complete and there are multiple completions, it types them and you have to type more of the name to disambiguate.  zsh does that, but if you then continue to press tab it iterates through the completions
[18:23] <gnuskool> cox: lol
[18:23] <macogw> sethk: zsh is what's on the school's server as the default login shell.  if i hit tab, nothing happens
[18:23] <froglet> cox: or unzip may do it
[18:23] <Borked|Raider> find: /home/raider/woW/Interface/Addons/: No such file or directory  sethk reason beeing that / at the end?
[18:23] <Rautamiekka> Jeansch, not before you can prevent GDM from starting and then edit a file
[18:23] <J-_> Is snort only good for wireless detection? Or, can I use it to monitor my wired connection as well?
[18:23] <PCeci> wich is correctly configured
[18:23] <SpudDogg> /j #aircrack-ng
[18:23] <cox> gnuskool: it actually worked this time but i've banged my head against the wall with that one
[18:24] <sethk> macogw, then they have completion turned off.  You can easily re-enable it.  Create a .zshrc file in your home directory and set the flags needed for completion.
[18:24] <Borked|Raider> sethk, naa case problem
[18:24] <sethk> macogw, completion enabled is the default, so they must have disabled it in a config file in /etc
[18:24] <core64> what else makes zsh better?
[18:24] <orochi_> Hmm...switching the settings in sound preferences didn't seem to change anything, thanks though :>
[18:24] <Borked|Raider> sethk, oki seam to work, only that i removed the -i again
[18:24] <gnuskool> :D
[18:24] <PCeci> and can "see" my network, but is unable to connect. It can't reach the router if I ping, and I don't receive an IP. I tryed with static IP but to no avail.
[18:24] <sethk> core64, just about everything is enhanced.  In ksh compatible mode it runs ksh scripts that bash borks on.  It has bash compatible mode if you are used to bash an want bash bugs.
[18:25] <PCeci> In the sysstem log it says there is no STA message from my AP
[18:25] <sethk> core64, I can't even begin to describe the features, but man zshall will show them to you.
[18:25] <PCeci> uh, sorry for my english
[18:25] <jeansch> Rautamiekka: Rautamiekka the is that the module is modprobed before gdm start, and it 'bug' the systeme (the module is loaded du to an usb id conflict, and i can't remove the usb peripheral)
[18:25] <sethk> core64, play with it, you've got nothing to lose except a bit of time.
[18:27] <froglet> let's say i have a system whose cups configuration i want to clone onto a fresh ubuntu installation. what files do i need to copy?
[18:27] <Pici> !clone | froglet
[18:27] <ubotu> froglet: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[18:27] <jeansch> Rautamiekka: i'm building a new squashfs with the module blacklisted, but it's very long, i wonder if there is other way
[18:27] <froglet> Pici: no, not the packages. the config.
[18:27] <Pici> froglet: Besides /home ? /etc
[18:27] <froglet> !automate | froglet
[18:27] <Andycasss> How can i check if my cronjob runs okay??
[18:28] <froglet> Pici: right, there'll be /etc/cups and so on, but i don't know if this is enough
[18:28] <Rautamiekka> Jeansch, sorry I can not help any more
[18:28] <jeansch> Andycasss: check logs
[18:28] <jeansch> Andycasss: (syslog)
[18:28] <froglet> Pici: i think copying all of /etc/ is somewhat foolhardy :P
[18:28] <jeansch> Rautamiekka: thanks
[18:28] <Pici> froglet: Then I dont know what to tell you then
[18:28] <froglet> Pici: ok :)
[18:29] <brizzle83> i have questions
[18:29] <brizzle83> can anyone help me out
[18:29] <godzirra> heya folks.  I just got a new Nvidia PCI-E card, and I know the card is working because I'm typing on it, but I can't get X to start anymore.  I've tried doing a dpkg-reconfigure and then choosing the "nv" driver, but it didnt work.  Using the VESA driver doesnt work either.
[18:29] <jeansch> brizzle83: ask, don't ask to ask !
[18:29] <sethk> froglet, _restoring_ it is probably foolhardy, but copying it is ok.  :)

[18:37] <jeansch> brizzle83: there is functionalities yon don't imagine, unless you found it on the config tool
[18:37] <brizzle83> yes
[18:37] <_2> Andycasss i know that it's formitable but    man bash    can answer a lot of questions about scripting   use   man man    to learn how to search for text within a man page
[18:37] <macogw> brizzle83: the compizconfig-settings-manager is what you want
[18:38] <jeansch> brizzle83: compizconfig-settings-manager on the universe repository, as i've just told you
[18:38] <brizzle83> thank you guys/girls  i really appreciate it
[18:38] <Pici> brizzle83: When you go to System>Preferences>Appearance -> Desktop Effects, can you enable it?
[18:38] <_moonwatcher> i have a matrox parhelia agp on the box can this be the reason?
[18:38] <Andycasss> Pici: So I should be okay to save it to "/tmp/crontab.z08p50/crontab"??
[18:38] <demco> Hi, does anyone know how to get 'blurring' under a transparent terminal window with compiz?
[18:38] <Pici> Andycasss: yes
[18:38] <Pici> !ccsm | demco
[18:38] <ubotu> demco: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[18:38] <brizzle83> which option enables it
[18:38] <demco> What needs to be activated?
[18:38] <_moonwatcher> any ones has any ideas?
[18:39] <demco> i've setup the compiz mnager
[18:39] <Pici> _moonwatcher: Not every hardware configuration is compatible with the live-cd,have you tried using the Alternate Install CD?
[18:39] <macogw> demco: "blur" i assume
[18:39] <harryv> Uhm. I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux - But it simply starts up a X-session without any WM.
[18:39] <PirateHead> How do I upgraded to Firefox 3?
[18:39] <macogw> PirateHead: install firefox-3.0
[18:39] <jeansch> PirateHead: it's not a good idea
[18:39] <_2> Andycasss  be advised that "/tmp" gets emptied each boot up.
[18:39] <demco> there is only a 'blur window' option, which i believe blurs alll windows except active window
[18:39] <Pici> PirateHead: Firefox3 is not yet released, the package in the repos is still the alpha, not the recently released beta.
[18:39] <macogw> jeansch: it works fine!
[18:39] <jeansch> PirateHead: download it, and run it from your $HOME/...
[18:39] <anizee> Im tryinf to find the xfce panel
[18:39] <PirateHead> macogw: Will that automatically replace Firefox 2, or will I have 2 copies of Firefox floating around?
[18:40] <_moonwatcher> Pici, no i haven't tried to install yet, just run the cd which was quite disscouraging
[18:40] <macogw> PirateHead: 2 copies
[18:40] <Pici> Andycasss: _2 that file gets saved, don't worry.
[18:40] <anizee> it dosnt seem to be where its listed
[18:40] <macogw> PirateHead: "firefox" for 2, "firefox-3.0" for 3
[18:40] <Andycasss> Pici: Ill just save it to my desktop then
[18:40] <jeansch> macogw: if you tell it ...
[18:40] <PirateHead> Pici: Thanks for the into about the stuff in the current repos - I was hoping to download the beta.
[18:40] <Pici> Andycasss: no...
[18:40] <Pici> Andycasss: Save it to where it wants to be saved, it will automatically get set as your user's crontab
[18:40] <_moonwatcher> Pici, which part of the hardware  isincompatible? is it likely to work installed?
[18:41] <PirateHead> macogw: Thank you for the info as well -- I think I'll stick with Firefox 2 for now. I've been using Firefox 3 on Windows boxes and I like it, but I'll wait until Ubuntu has better support for it.
[18:41] <macogw> PirateHead: to get that, you can download the linux tarball from mozilla then untar it on your desktop or in your home drive, then double click on "firefox" inside it
[18:41] <_2> Pici only said for the sake of the ignorant.   so people don't put things in tmp/ and then OMG where's my *
[18:41] <jerbear> anyone here use nx free edition? has anyone had the problem where some of the gnome applets don't show up?
[18:41] <Pici> _2: I know, but I think we're confusing Andycasss.
[18:41] <boguh> hi, i just installed apache2, php5 libapache2-php5 but php is not working
[18:41] <jeansch> boguh: restart apache2
[18:42] <Pici> _moonwatcher: Likely, it will work with some configuration once its installed, but we can't provide every single driver on the live cd
[18:42] <Andycasss> ok crontab -l shows that the script is there
[18:42] <Andycasss> Ill try rebooting my linux box
[18:42] <PirateHead> boguh: sudo apt-get install service && service apache2 restart
[18:42] <harryv> I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux - But it simply starts up a X-session without any WM.
[18:42] <jeansch> boguh: may be before, make the link in /etc/apache2/modules-enables/ from /etc/apache2/modules-availables for the php loader and conf
[18:42] <macogw> PirateHead: what's that? i wouldve done sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[18:42] <Pici> boguh: or just `sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart`
[18:43] <harryv> seems like gnome is starter though -- but no interface at all
[18:43] <harryv> *started
[18:43] <Andycasss> Pici: Btw, if I want to edit that line later, where can i do that?
[18:43] <macogw> wow there's too many ways to restart services
[18:43] <Pici> Andycasss: crontab -e
[18:43] <PirateHead> macogw: service is a wrapper for sending commands to services. When you ask it to restart apache2, it calls /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[18:43] <_moonwatcher> Pici, are you refering to the matrox? the rest is quit standard, but it doesnt complaint, it gets jammed completely
[18:43] <Andycasss> Ah, i see
[18:43] <Pici> _moonwatcher: It happens.
[18:43] <macogw> PirateHead: ok cool
[18:43] <jerbear> what's the best way to logout a console user remotely?
[18:43] <PirateHead> macogw: It's usually helpful to newbies, though, since it's an easier command to use and harder to mistype.
[18:43] <harryv> nefer fuckin mind
[18:43] <Pici> PirateHead: Theres already invoke-rc.d built in
[18:44] <Dr_willis> macogw,  gotta love the 'service' command.. it just saves you a little typing.. (or hate it - because its so nonstandard. )
[18:44] <Dr_willis> :)
[18:44] <demco> Has anyone been able to 'blur' underneath transparent terminal windows, I've tried enabling "blur windows" in advance desktop effects, although this doesn't blur??
[18:44] <Pici> demco: please ask in #compiz-fusion
[18:44] <macogw> Dr_willis: you're name's not derek, right?
[18:44] <PirateHead> Pici: what does invoke-rc.d do?
[18:44] <_moonwatcher> Pici, so you would suggest installing?
[18:44] <Pici> _moonwatcher: Yes, from the Alternate CD.
[18:44] <macogw> demco: blur is for moving windows
[18:45] <Pici> PirateHead: The same thing that 'service' does, but without installing a new package.
[18:45] <macogw> demco: afaik, there's no way to mush what's behind transparency
[18:45] <macogw> Spec: heya
[18:45] <PirateHead> Pici: Why didn't they call it "service" then?
[18:45] <boguh> PirateHead there is no package service
[18:45] <boguh> Pici restart didn help
[18:45] <linux_user400354> can anyone help with this? im trying to install serious sam 2 in ubuntu 7.10. The cd is in the dvd drive, and the mount command shows that it is mounted. Why is it not being found and will not install? http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/3022/whatiswrongod1.jpg
[18:45] <Pici> PirateHead: Because its part of the rc.d, update-rc.d package stuff.
[18:45] <PirateHead> boguh: Guess the package isn't called service, then. Sorry,
[18:46] <diafic> Is there anything like compiz's expose-like function that isn't as.. heavy.. as compiz
[18:46] <Megaqwerty> PirateHead: it's in debian-helper-scripts
[18:46] <Andycasss> Pici: btw- is there a way to test cronjob without rebooting?
[18:47] <PCeci> I've got a problem connecting to my wifi network. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 and a Belkin USB device with Ralink ra2500 chipset, wich is correctly configured by the system. Network Manager detects my network, but when trying to connect doesn't get an IP. I tried using a static IP but to no use. My sys log tells that there is no Ipv6 router, and that there are no STA messages from my AP. Can anyone help
[18:47] <PCeci> ?
[18:47] <PirateHead> Megaqwerty: got it. That's nice to know.
[18:47] <crdlb> diafic: err compiz can be whatever you want it to be :) turn off the blingy plugins
[18:47] <macogw> diafic: nope, dont think so
[18:47] <dwxreaper> I tried filelight, and it doesn't work for me, i'm looking for something like treesize
[18:47] <Pici> Andycasss: If its a 'on reboot' job, not really.
[18:47] <diafic> crdlb, I know, but thats still too heavy
[18:47] <diafic> I have a Radeon 7000 Mobile
[18:47] <crdlb> diafic: it can't be done without composite and texture_from_pixmap, so you need compiz :)
[18:47] <atlef> !ipv6 | PCeci

[18:47] <macogw> i would *like* the scale plugin for e or flux.  i <3 light wm's
[18:47] <Andycasss> Its a cronjob thats supposed to run after every 1h
[18:47] <dwxreaper> but as a cli way to find the biggest files, how do i do that. i tried ls -Sl but didn't work, only showed the current directory
[18:47] <diafic> crdlb, thats why I said *like*
[18:48] <PCeci> I will thanks
[18:48] <Megaqwerty> dwxreaper: what do you mean filelight didn't work for you?
[18:48] <crdlb> diafic: I mean that the scale effect cannot be done without composite and t_f_p, and that is what makes compiz "heavy"
[18:48] <Megaqwerty> dwxreaper: I think it's one of the best things since sliced bread tbh
[18:49] <boguh> anyone got an idea why php5 is still not working with apache?
[18:49] <Andycasss> Pici: Its actually just updating the dyndns with my current ip after every 1h (edns.pl script)
[18:49] <andy_js> why do I have no dri?
[18:49] <CajunTechie> Hello everyone I have a question: is there a way to get non 64 bit apps running under the newest 64 bit Ubuntu release?
[18:49] <Pici> Andycasss: Then why did you think you had to reboot?
[18:49] <Andycasss> Pici: Because that would run the cronjob?
[18:50] <matteo> is module-assistant supposed to work with fgltùrx driver?
[18:50] <robert__> o
[18:50] <robert__> hello
[18:50] <Pici> Andycasss: You might just be able to get away with restarting cron, I'm not sure if that will work though
[18:50] <Pici> Andycasss: sudo invoke-rc.d cron restart
[18:51] <Andycasss> Pici: Thank you, ill try that
[18:51] <dwxreaper> just dont' like it, doesn't help me easily like treesize
[18:51] <Scunizi> Is there a way to make sure windows that have been resized, reopen at that set size?  It seems like compiz prohibits this from happening like in a standard gnome environment. I constantly get windows that open larger than the dimensions from top to bottom and occasionally from left to right.
[18:51] <robert__> no me neither
[18:51] <anton_> Hey, I have a trouble...my Adept Manager crashes...this is the backtrace: http://pastebin.org/9476

[18:53] <andril> i made a shortcut and do not need it
[18:53] <Megaqwerty> Rautamiekka: you can just switch to the Open Source driver by opening up /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root and changing Driver nvidia to Driver nv
[18:53] <brobostigon> hi
[18:53] <dwxreaper> what is the command to see the largest files on in order, on the whole system

[18:54] <matteo> \/usr/share/modass/compliant.list is wrong
[18:54] <MtJB> i am running 7.1 on a macbookpro.  a couple of weeks ago, the ath_pci driver from madwifi stopped working.  anyone know how to fix it?

[18:55] <didida> i selected a different graphics card and now the hole screen is black,help anyone?
[18:56] <Megaqwerty> didida: Ctrl+Alt+F1 will give you a terminal
[18:56] <macogw> snkmad: use screenlets instead
[18:56] <Megaqwerty> didida: from there you can reverse what you did.
[18:56] <Rautamiekka> I forgot I had to remove xorg.conf in order to get this 1680x1050 reso to work
[18:56] <Rautamiekka> So what to do now ?
[18:56] <macogw> Rautamiekka: remove it??

[18:56] <Rautamiekka> Macogw, yes, I removed it and rebooted GDM and it worked
[18:56] <macogw> Rautamiekka:  if you remove xorg.conf you cant do much of anything
[18:57] <macogw> Rautamiekka: WEIRD
[18:57] <Megaqwerty> migster: ./configure --help
[18:57] <raj> hi .. how do you make your wabbly windows trasparent while moving them

[19:03] <brobostigon> raj:: xfce's terminal can be transparent, xfce is a wm, you may have to install the whole of xfce to get xfce's terminal.
[19:03] <macogw> brobostigon: eterm and gnome-terminal also do transparency
[19:04] <brobostigon> macogw: i didnt know that.
[19:04] <paziman> i'm not a troll, but i must open my *keyboard* a bit..

[19:05] <anizee> I found it
[19:05] <anizee>  sudo /usr/bin/xfce4-panel restart
[19:05] <crdlb> brobostigon: xfce-terminal uses gnome-terminal's terminal widget (vte), so they're pretty much identical :)

[19:17] <smileymark> I need to configure gentoo to use the pci video card instead of the pci express card its using now.  (my friend forgot his dvi adapter)
[19:17] <andril> Rautamiekka: hello to you :)
[19:17] <tafsen> How do I check on witch /dev/ my usb disc is mounted?
[19:18] <YeTr2_> smileymark: wrong channel, and specify BusID in the device section of the xorg.conf
[19:18] <Rautamiekka> Andril, I imagine your link is named gamefolder. rm gamefolder removes it
[19:18] <RandomGirl> anyone interested in chatting or do everybody only have technical problems?
[19:18] <smileymark> sorry, I emnt ubuntu
[19:18] <andril> i made a link to a mounted drive
[19:18] <andril> cool
[19:19] <smileymark> how do I figure out the busID for the pci video card
[19:19] <Megaqwerty> YeTr2_: well, if it's open source, I might be able to make a deb for you from the source code
[19:19] <brobostigon> !lspci
[19:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lspci - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[19:20] <Megaqwerty> Rautamiekka: I'm writing the script as we speak.
[19:20] <YeTr2_> Megaqwerty: and I can do the same too w/ checkinstall.. I was just hoping that there was a pre-compiled package instead
[19:20] <didida> problem solved
[19:20] <Pici> !msgthebot | brobostigon
[19:20] <ubotu> brobostigon: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[19:20] <Megaqwerty> YeTr2_: oh, well alright then.
[19:21] <_nix_> hello everyone.. I just installed gnupg-1.4.7 from source. The binaries went in /usr/local/bin but my PATH is /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin how do I bring /usr/local/bin in front of /usr/bin ??
[19:21] <soundray> keegan: perhaps you have a bad Java plugin. Exit firefox and start 'firefox -safe-mode' to see if it works then.
[19:21] <richard__> soundray, rsync user@name.server.com: /local/dir --compare-dest=/local/dir/ ?
[19:21] <Sharpie> every time i restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace) it doesn't come back up and hangs in a brown screen, any solutions?
[19:21] <keegan> okay soundray
[19:21] <genii> Thats not restarting X thats forcibly closing it
[19:21] <soundray> richard__: not sure what you're trying to do, but that doesn't look right
[19:22] <Sharpie> genii: who the hell cares, that's not the question
[19:22] <soundray> richard__: have a look on the web for rsync tutorials -- there are plenty.
[19:22] <richard__> soundray, trying to compare the files i copied locally from a remote server that's failing to make sure they copied properly...
[19:22] <brobostigon> !ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:22] <centaur> How is it possible to change a drive to not mount as being owned by root? I checked fstab and it's not listed there but shows up in the GUI
[19:23] <genii> Sharpie: go to some terminal by ctrl-alt-f1 for instance. then login to user name. then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    then alt-f7
[19:23] <soundray> richard__: I would use rsync to just copy them again. Rsync won't re-transfer files if they are already present in the destination.
[19:23] <Sharpie> genii: but that won't solve the problem =\
[19:23] <Sharpie> genii: i want to make it work in the first place, as it always did
[19:23] <richard__> soundray, ok thx
[19:23] <andril> Rautaniekka: got it thanks alot :)
[19:23] <boggystudios> is there a program that will capture video from a mini dv cam using a usb cable?
[19:24] <keegan> soundray:  it works fine in safe mode , how do i fix the problem
[19:24] <harushimo> does ubuntu have a 64 bit version for intel?
[19:24] <pike_> boggystudios: it is possible/likely vlc will work
[19:24] <harushimo> I'm dual core
[19:24] <harushimo> running
[19:24] <soundray> harushimo: yes. The amd64 version works on Intel.
[19:24] <Andycasss> Can someone tell me whats wrong in this crontab, im trying to run a perl script : http://andycas.pri.ee:8008/files/crontab
[19:24] <harushimo> it does
[19:24] <soundray> harushimo: it should really be called x86_64
[19:24] <boggystudios> pike_: i dunno, I am trying to capture video to edit it
[19:24] <genii> Sharpie: If what caused the issue was:  compiz --replace     then hit alt-f2 when you have the brown screen and do instead something like gnome --replace
[19:24] <harushimo> oh okay
[19:25] <soundray> keegan: find the bad plugin (about:plugins as the URL) and uninstall it.
[19:25] <Sharpie> genii: i don't know what caused the issue
[19:25] <keegan> okay
[19:25] <harushimo> because I was gonna dual boot but for some odd reason, I can't get any security patches. thats why i'm most likely completely switching to Linux
[19:25] <keegan> soundray:  i have many plugins how will i know which one is bad
[19:26] <pike_> boggystudios: oh its a camcorder?
[19:26] <genii> Sharpie: What was the last thing you did before it went wonky?
[19:26] <laaw> Got some problems setting resolution on my second display.  Cant get any other then 640*480 and 320*240? (nVidia btw)
[19:26] <pike_> boggystudios: you may need a vid capture card then
[19:26] <soundray> harushimo: make sure you really need 64bit before you choose it -- 32bit works fine on Core 2 Duo CPUs as well
[19:26] <boggystudios> pike_: yeah
[19:26] <Sharpie> genii: i don't know =\
[19:26] <pike_> boggystudios: can you do this in windows?
[19:26] <charlesg3> Hi, I'm having trouble with flash in firefox / gutsy, for some reason it doens't work whether i do it manually or through the browser
[19:26] <richard__> soundray, rsync -avHK user@source.host.com:/opt/backup/ /local/backup?
[19:26] <soundray> keegan: it must be the Java one, because that's what's needed for that page
[19:26] <Andycasss> Can someone tell me whats wrong in this crontab, im trying to run a perl script : http://andycas.pri.ee:8008/files/crontab

[19:27] <boggystudios> pike_: it can be done in windows, however it can also be done in linux with firewire, I just haven't been able to find a program that supports that yet

[19:32] <toresn> i just formatted my external drive (usb) to ext3, and when i look at the properties i can see that there are used 23.5 GB
[19:33] <toresn> do you now why?

[19:38] <Schmallon> Using linux-rt(realtim kernel) my system hangs on boot (within the first few seconds). I can see the lower part of a stack-trace on my screen but that's it.

[19:38] <elliotjhug> toresn: How'd you format it - and how big is it?

[19:39] <qaws> hi, how can I upgrade Ubuntu, "update-manager -d" always freezes
[19:39] <toresn> elliotjhug: i used gparted and it's 500 GB
[19:39] <stefg> toresn: these are the 5% reserved for root. run sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/<yourdrive> to set that to 0
[19:39] <Chewy954> whats the default charset for xchat? figlet looks messed up for other people :\
[19:39] <qaws> PP|Spydon: yes, but you must risk data loss
[19:39] <hockeyfan5000> PP|Spydon: you can do whatever you want, however I highly advise not putting a drive when its on
[19:39] <Cpudan80> I'm running Ubuntu on a T42 (laptop) -- it runs pretty good, but when the battery gets really low ( < 5%) an audible alarm sounds, any way I can turn that off?
[19:40] <PP|Spydon> that is np, thx, qaws ^^
[19:40] <genii> PP|Spydon: If an external USB/firewire etc usually fine. Otherwise your equipment needs to be hot-swap
[19:40] <PP|Spydon> it's not an external HDD...
[19:40] <rabidweezle> anyone get unreal tourneyment working off the anthology disc?
[19:40] <Cpudan80> Second thing, is there a way to mute the laptop's speakers, but still allow sound to be played out of external speakers (connected through a doc)?
[19:40] <ivan_> i have installed wmii but where do i find the conf files?
[19:40] <stefg> thor: reiterating the question won't produce an answer. does 'sudo fdisk -l' list the drive ?
[19:40] <Cpudan80> dock*

[19:59] <pike_> cizarr: you should be able to open this in file roller now.. just double-click the first file does this work?
[20:00] <MichealPW> haha, bug #1 is quite humurous.
[20:00] <IdleOne> and still no fix but we are working on it
[20:00] <Andycass1> Can anyone tell me how to run a perl in crontab?
[20:01] <MichealPW> I think you guys are doing great. I've converted 4 friends to Ubuntu in the past month.
[20:01] <MichealPW> Gogogogo!~
[20:01] <redline6561> #redmonk
[20:02] <js_> how much space does the base installation neeD?
[20:02] <IdleOne> js_: 3gb
[20:02] <pike_> js_: about 2 gigs i think for full install. a little less still i believe
[20:02] <MichealPW> js_: Less than 700mb, judging from the Live CD?
[20:02] <MichealPW> My bad:)
[20:02] <pike_> js_: maybe more i havent done full install since breezy
[20:02] <js_> alright, thanks :)
[20:03] <Andycass1> Should i edit etc/crontab or just use crontab -e?
[20:03] <IdleOne> js_: with a 10gb partiton you will be good to go
[20:03] <PP|Spydon> Can I reinstall my system completely without a cd-drive but with a working ubuntu install?
[20:03] <stefg> js_: default install takes around 2.2 GB. you need additional space for the apt-cache, and of course your own stuff
[20:03] <smileymark> finally got the computer using the pci video card.  thanks brobostigon and others for the help
[20:04] <thor> Each time I log in I'm greeted with  "Internal Error, Failed to initialize HAL"    what's this?
[20:05] <t4m1n0> hello there
[20:05] <t4m1n0> !
[20:05] <EdwardXP> foggy - come into my dream
[20:06] <xp_prg> has anyone here heard of jeOS?
[20:06] <nightstalker> Hello my Name is Daniel.Iss this channel for free talk or is it a spezialised channel ??
[20:07] <t4m1n0> I have a problem opening, rmvb file with MPlayer. I've followed some how to and did everything for enabling those codecs (I even builded i t from source) but I still can't open rmvb file, it says : Failed to open file ...nameofthefile.rmvb. Does anyone know heere where to get more details why I can't open this file?
[20:07] <brobostigon> jeos is ubuntu with enlightenment as its wm, i think.
[20:07] <Gothi[c]> Ubuntu has this new failsafe thing in Xorg. is there any way i can see the log of what went wrong when it goes into failsafe, because /var/log/Xorg.0.log is replaced with the startup of the failsafe
[20:08] <ehsi> no, jeOs is a special ubuntu version optimized for virtualization
[20:08] <ehsi> I don't know which DE has got
[20:08] <ehsi> but i know it's aim is virtualization
[20:08] <abchecken> hello, i heard in the news, there is a special ubuntu version for hewlett packard notebooks, especially for my nx6110, do you know where to find the iso file?
[20:08] <Gothi[c]> does failsafeXinit save the x startup log anywhere before overwriting Xorg.0.log ?
[20:08] <brobostigon> i think its enlightenment
[20:09] <pike_> Gothi[c]: i personally think failsafe is a great idea but hate the implementation.. i dont think so
[20:09] <Gothi[c]> pike_: is there any way i can disable failsafe then?
[20:09] <PerlStalker> Can anyone tell me why enabling or disabling an interface in the Network Manager would stop my keyboard from working and prevent the machine from shutting down?
[20:09] <thor> Each time I log in I'm greeted with  "Internal Error, Failed to initialize HAL"    what's this?
[20:10] <troseph> How can I remove an update from a thirdparty from my update channel? It will not allow me to uncheck it. The update installed properly, however the update manager doesn't "Think" it did because some user-interaction was required.
[20:10] <pike_> Gothi[c]: sudo nano /etc/init.d/gdm    look for line like  FailsafeXServer=/etc/gdm/failsafeXServer  i think
[20:11] <Gothi[c]> thanks!

[20:24] <tubular> can anyone help me with a networking issue? DNS is broken, but all other networking works. It only happens after I have both wireless and wired up at the same time, and I have to bring the wired interface down and up again to fix it
[20:24] <bieb> rukus: no prob setting up the wireless?
[20:24] <Rukus> i cant be more happy with it, so when it works i "try" not to fix it, or be ungrateful
[20:25] <stefg> Venae: dm usually relates to raid or encrypted volumes. It's a abbrev.  for disk manager
[20:25] <ExalleR> I have an issue with my 2nd hdd.. can't find it, not on the desktop or in Places > Computer    just upgraded to 7.10, I could access the dreive before the upgrade.. any solution to that?

[20:26] <shenron> hey I am trying to compiler acerhk, a kernel module for Acer laptop hot keys, and it says that it is only supported in 32 bit mode. how do I compile it in 32-bit mode?
[20:26] <Rukus> well, at first i had problems, but i think it was more human error if anything, then once i figured out how to do it, wireless worked like a snap.  At first i ran the proprietary driver, but i noticed range limitations were great. so after i used ndiswrapper.  Its also a 64 bit system  so i wrapped 64 bit drivers
[20:26] <bieb> I see
[20:26] <Venae> I will try turning mdadm off and see if things are happier
[20:26] <Venae> Thank you, stefg
[20:27] <Rukus> bieb, why do you ask? what laptop do you have?
[20:27] <Andycass1> How to I make my apache server public, right now I can access it only via LAN ip, i cant access it even with" localhost"
[20:28] <bieb> I have an old IBM Thinkpad T31, with PCMCIA wireless card. But have been looking around at all the pre-christmas laptop sales. Wife said she may buy me one for Xmas
[20:28] <Andycass1> Ive forwarded the ports and have the dns set up, it was working fine with 8008 port, but when i put it back at 80, it just didnt want to work anymore
[20:28] <freak124> There are some programs that only work on windows and I just can't miss them. What's the best solution here?
[20:28] <mewt> bieb, go for the T61 if possible :) just got mine..lovely machine

[20:39] <mewt> Megaqwerty, they actually said that xp sp3 is gonna give a ~10% performance boost :O
[20:39] <savi0r666> hey i had a quick question do i need to do the symbolic links to be able to install and run americ's army?
[20:39] <hilltop> i run the script for the 3d cube, it works except for the cube part, i cant see the cube?
[20:39] <nikosA> @deus: edit the menu.lst and add nosplash in the respective line!
[20:39] <Rukus> i think Vista is a useless upgrade to a decent Windows XP desktop
[20:39] <mewt> hilltop, did you enable it from compiz config settings manager ?
[20:39] <nikosA> @deus: edit the menu.lst is under /boot/grub
[20:39] <Megaqwerty> mewt: well...vista was supposed to have a performance boost too. We all know how that worked out...
[20:39] <Rukus> it only seems to add DRM ,which does not help me
[20:39] <hilltop> no
[20:40] <hilltop> how do i do that
[20:40] <hilltop> ?
[20:40] <mewt> Megaqwerty, ye :D
[20:40] <savi0r666> or do i have to use symbolic links for doom or anything ?
[20:40] <savi0r666> or is it just like default?
[20:40] <Vamp898> i tired ht=on and acpi=ht but i cant use HT
[20:40] <Vamp898> *tried
[20:40] <bulio> I have a sony PSP which ubuntu sees as a mass storage device
[20:40] <nikosA> Anybody get's a message like "could not unmount device" although the external hard disk is unmounted after un-mounting it??
[20:40] <mewt> hilltop, i think you need to install settings manager -  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:40] <bulio> but how can I make it write data before ejecting?
[20:41] <tubular> can anyone help me with a networking issue? DNS is broken, but all other networking works. It only happens after I have both wireless and wired up at the same time, and I have to bring the wired interface down and up again to fix it
[20:41] <Indephysis> bulio - Me too!
[20:41] <bulio> clicking unmount says data must still be written
[20:41] <Indephysis> I was wondering but I never got an answer
[20:41] <mewt> hilltop, then play around with the settings there
[20:41] <Indephysis> I mean for me it says error about 30% of the time, the rest it's fine
[20:41] <Vamp898> bulio: then wait
[20:41] <bulio> Vamp898, but no progress bars are shown
[20:42] <Kengur1> guys anyone got this thumbnails problem or it's just me here using torrent exclusively??
[20:42] <Megaqwerty> bulio: because no progress bar has been made for unmounting
[20:42] <Megaqwerty> bulio: as of yet at least...
[20:42] <Vamp898> bulio thats normal
[20:42] <mewt> bulio, check also that there are no errors on the disk you are writing to..damaged disks tend to fail..thus the system will try to write for a very long time until it fails
[20:42] <Vamp898> bulio just wait
[20:42] <Indephysis> Vamp898, the thing is, there's nothing that tells you it's even writing
[20:43] <xp_prg> can ubuntu install java 1.5 jdk now?
[20:43] <mewt> Kengur1, i use torrents too, however i never encountered the problem as i don't use thumbnails
[20:43] <bulio> Megaqwerty, so how do I know when its done?
[20:43] <bulio> I click eject and wait?
[20:43] <Megaqwerty> bulio: when the drive disappears
[20:43] <bulio> ok
[20:43] <nikosA> @xp_prg: I think YES.
[20:44] <nikosA> @bulio: you get any message (negative/ positive)?
[20:44] <Kengur1> mewt: so u suggest to get rid of the problem by bitting off one of my legs or something? =)
[20:44] <nikosA> @bulio: I get a negative message... !
[20:44] <chazco> Anyone able to suggest a good syncronisation utility (two directories, e.g. USB stick + HDD folder)?
[20:44] <nikosA> @bulio: Although it un-mounts!
[20:44] <Megaqwerty> bulio: there might also be a notification in the lower right-hand corner. That happens with my external drive as well.
[20:44] <Pazy> Is compiz or beryl or anything like that part of the standard 7.10 install?
[20:44] <kdt> does anyone know how to install linux without going through startx
[20:44] <mewt> Kengur1, id simply disable thumbnails for that folder temporarily
[20:44] <kdt> x
[20:44] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: yes
[20:44] <bulio> and I have an Inspiron 1520 with a 5 in 1 Ricoh Memory card reader
[20:45] <bulio> I assume it isn't supported?
[20:45] <mewt> Kengur1, unless thumbnails are essential to you
[20:45] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: Compiz-Fusion is enabled by default (once the proprietary drivers are installed that is)
[20:45] <Pazy> How do i use it?
[20:45] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: System>Preferences>Appearance
[20:45] <kdt> xwindows i meant
[20:45] <mewt> Pazy, system, preference, appearnce
[20:46] <Kengur1> mewt: and how do i disable tn just for one folder??
[20:46] <mewt> kdt, if it's a text based install you want you can try the alternate cd
[20:46] <Pazy> Is compiz the one that makes the cube from your dektops?
[20:46] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: yep
[20:46] <Indephysis> Yes.
[20:46] <bieb> freak124: did anyone answer you on the best virtualizer?
[20:46] <mewt> Kengur1, view -> view as list
[20:46] <Indephysis> It's also got a planing mode where you can zoom between them and wobble.
[20:46] <Pazy> So whats the command that makes that happem?
[20:46] <Indephysis> Uh, settings > gl desktop
[20:47] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: however, I think you will have to enable it manually you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:47] <Kengur1> mewt: this too uses thumbnails, just tiny ones =)
[20:47] <mewt> Kengur1, mm hrmph..got me there :O
[20:48] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: then there will be a "Preferences" button next to "Custom" in the Visual Effects tab of the Appearance box
[20:48] <mewt> Kengur1, try: edit>preferences
[20:48] <Kengur1> Megaqwerty: btw i don't have this button...
[20:48] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: you could also access it from System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects
[20:48] <mewt> Kengur1, last tab
[20:48] <so1> http://digg.com/linux_unix/First_Impressions_of_Ubuntu_Caught_on_Video
[20:48] <Megaqwerty> Kengur1: you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:48] <atlfalcons866> #kubuntu
[20:49] <so1> hi everyone, just found a great video about ubuntu ...
[20:49] <Pazy> Thanks so much, now I can go show :P
[20:49] <Pazy> *show off
[20:49] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: haha
[20:49] <aorthr33> does anyone in here have any first hand expereience with the Dell Vostro laptops (installing linux)?
[20:49] <so1> maybe we can digg it? because it's really great :-P
[20:49] <MystaMax> sweet falcons fan...
[20:49] <Megaqwerty> Pazy: you're welcome. Happy Gloating!
[20:49] <Pazy> Megaqwerty: Its what I do best :P
[20:50] <Kengur1> mewt: it doesn't even have the right settings, all my files are way above 5Mb default settings... still gets thumbed =)
[20:50] <mewt> Kengur1, even if u set it to files larger than 1gb ?
[20:51] <MystaMax> anyone know why ubuntu cannot read or write to BLANK Dual layer DVDs? I've tried it on two different PCs, w/ no luck
[20:51] <mewt> Kengur1, well you can set to show thumbnails: never
[20:52] <Kengur1> mewt: it says 'smaller than' right next to it.. you imply it means 'more than' insteand? =)
[20:52] <ubuntu> I've got Ubuntu 7.10 here, and I'm trying to install it but it gives me an arror saying "Grub could not install, this is a fatal error" and closes...
[20:52] <brizzle83> does anyone know how to make sound work on madriva 2008?
[20:52] <ubuntu> or could no install GRUB at HD0
[20:52] <mneptok> someone needs to transcode :)
[20:52] <bruenig> MystaMax, what command did you use?
[20:52] <z1pp1ty> w-window-manager isn't starting automatically for me
[20:52] <z1pp1ty> where does it usually get called?
[20:52] <MystaMax> bruenig, no command tried to use nero
[20:53] <okeefenokee> 'ello folks. I'm trying to enable user homepages on my Ubuntu server, it don't want to happen :( What settings/lines should be found in apache2.conf in order to succeed?
[20:53] <zewb> i'm using the linksys wusb11 driver and no matter what, it shows up as wired connection (wlan0) in the network settings. I tried ndiswrapper and it loads the drivers, but it still wont work.
[20:53] <bruenig> MystaMax, why would you use nero?
[20:53] <mewt> Kengur1, i set mine to never show thumbnails and are not being shown
[20:53] <MystaMax> bruenig, b/c i want to burn a dvd
[20:53] <mewt> i also set the value to 100kb
[20:53] <brizzle83> How do you get sound cards to work?
[20:53] <bruenig> MystaMax, use more native burners if you are going to go the gui route, like k3b gnomebaker graveman
[20:53] <brizzle83> do you use the run command?
[20:53] <mewt> brizzle83, dance round a fire every wednesday
[20:53] <bruenig> MystaMax, I would recommend using cdrecord
[20:53] <mewt> ;0
[20:53] <Kengur1> mewt: might be a wise choice after all =)
[20:54] <MystaMax> bruenig, its not the software, ubuntu doesn't RECOGNIZE a BLANK dual layer dvd
[20:54] <zewb> anyone know why ubuntu reads it as a wired connection when its wireless?
[20:54] <bruenig> MystaMax, ubuntu doesn't RECOGNIZE anything
[20:54] <mewt> Kengur1, it's really a work around more than a fix however i dont think thumbnails are that vital
[20:54] <bruenig> MystaMax, the kernel does
[20:54] <MystaMax> bruenig, nevermind thnx
[20:54] <brizzle83> im sure that will work
[20:54] <bruenig> MystaMax, you are saying that hal isn't automatically mounting the disk
[20:54] <zewb> The kernel recognizes stuff if it feels like it
[20:54] <mewt> brizzle83, what;s the problem you are getting ?
[20:54] <zewb> usually its not in the mood
[20:54] <bruenig> MystaMax, so mount it manually
[20:55] <MystaMax> tried that, no luck
[20:55] <Kl4m> Is there something in /proc which tells which kind of memory is installed? DDR(2)?
[20:55] <brizzle83> well is doesn't recognize my sound card and i am looking for help on updating a driver and how to do that
[20:55] <mewt> brizzle83, what is your card ?
[20:55] <zewb> anyone know why ubuntu reads it as a wired connection when its wireless?
[20:56] <TeeCee---> anybody knows how to disable xscreensaver? not unistall it, but disable it?
[20:56] <brizzle83> i am checking now
[20:56] <brizzle83> legacy audio drivers
[20:57] <zewb> i'm using the linksys wusb11 driver and no matter what, it shows up as wired connection (wlan0) in the network settings. I tried ndiswrapper and it loads the drivers, but it still wont work.
[20:57] <brizzle83> creative SB-X-Fi
[20:58] <mewt> brizzle83, i don't anything about the support for x-fi's in ubuntu tbh
[20:58] <mewt> brizzle83, you might wanna hit the forums if you dont get any help here
[20:58] <Venae> TeeCee---: I think you can go into its settings and tell it not to do anything.
[20:58] <brizzle83> okay thank you
[20:58] <demco> in my perl script there is a "^M" apprently, at the end of the #!/usr/bin/perl, what is this character, when editing the file, I don't see it
[20:59] <Venae> TeeCee---: Otherwise you could run a script to stop the daemon, I think.
[20:59] <TeeCee---> Venae: ok
[20:59] <demco> /usr/bin/perl^M command not found
[20:59] <zewb> does anyone here know how to get wusb11 to work in ubuntu
[20:59] <Venae> Clunky, but would work. I don't know tons about it :)
[20:59] <vmlinuz`> demco: color? (just a guess) but in some scripts ^ means a color character, not sure tho

[21:05] <Clear_Sky> hi, is anyone else noticing that updates etcaredownloading really slow?
[21:05] <mewt> Clear_Sky, depends on which mirror you are using
[21:06] <jeekl> Hi! My friend seems unable to log into his kubuntu 7.10. He just gets thrown back to the login screen when he tries to login. I'm a suse-user myself, so I don't really know if there are any ubuntu specific things we can check to look for errors. Anyonw got any clues for us?
[21:06] <Clear_Sky> mewt: thanks shoulda thought of that
[21:07] <foz> bakaboii will i have to reinstall java ??
[21:07] <genii> jeekl: Firstly... username of "root" is disallowed from login. Use whichever username was created during installation time
[21:07] <jeekl> genii: Check.
[21:07] <robin> hi! i'm just trying to install ubuntu for a friend on a dell desktop. am having problems though - managed to boot from the disc, the pre-login orange/brown screen has come up, but nothing has developed since! have been waiting for ages...
[21:07] <bakaboii> foz just a moment please, ill look it up for you
[21:07] <bakaboii> -foz-
[21:07] <ak5_2> Just wondering... Can someone maybe point me to a resource for impress? OO forums + wiki is no good...
[21:08] <foz> bakaboii ok
[21:08] <CSid> hello .. can someone help me with a driver question ?
[21:08] <ebirtaid> !ask
[21:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[21:08] <ak5_2> CSid what driver?
[21:08] <OleMoudi> hey, my sound just went off for all apps. Mplayer says: "alsa-init: playback open error: Device or resource busy". Anything I can kill or restart to make it work again?
[21:08] <jeekl> genii: Thing is, we tried moving his old .kde incase som old setting borked it all, but he keeps getting thrown to the login screen. We tried running sudo dkgp-reconfigure zserver-xorg and followed the prompts, but that didn't help either.
[21:08] <CSid> i have to dld my wireless dirver for my intel card .. and at the distribution download list .. ubunutu isn't listed ..
[21:09] <CSid> what should i pick .. arch linux/debian/fedora,redhat/gentoo/t2 sde ?
[21:09] <genii> jeekl: The way the xserver operates has no influence on what usernames are allowed/disallowed from logging in
[21:09] <robin> does anyone know why it could not be working? the cd is from the linux format magazine, so it should be good...
[21:09] <mewt> OleMoudi, do you have another sound server running ? or any application that mght occupy the sound card for you ?
[21:09] <ak5_2> Csid debian comes closest to ubuntu I believe, but wait, I'm looking it up for you.
[21:09] <bieb> robin: LXF has had bad Cds/DVDs in the past
[21:09] <genii> jeekl: Also the default settings of .kde, same thing
[21:09] <CSid> thanx a lot ak5_2
[21:10] <jeekl> genii: But I don't think it's a problem of being disallowed. We created a new user with useradd and he wasn't allowed to log in either
[21:10] <adac2>  wpa_supplicant in combination with ndiswrapper...does this not work in ubuntu gutsy?
[21:10] <jeekl> we typed in the credentials and tred logging in, the screen went blank and threw us ack to kdm
[21:10] <OleMoudi> mewt, another server... not that I know of, maybe esd or something like that. And about the apps, just amsn and xchat which sometimes play sounds through "aplay" command
[21:10] <robin> bieb: do you think this is the problem?
[21:10] <bieb> robin: what are you trying to install?
[21:10] <Megaqwerty> robin: to be sure, when booting the ubuntu part of the CD, run "check CD for defects"
[21:10] <bakaboii> -foz- enter 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' in terminal and choose the sun version
[21:10] <genii> jeekl: to use the command of useradd, you must have logged in with some kind of credential which has sudo/su allowed. Use that name to login
[21:11] <ak5_2> Csid what version are you on?
[21:11] <jeekl> genii: Yes, that's what we do.
[21:11] <strangedrbrow1> hello @all, i am looking for a free pdf-creator under linux. doe's any know something about that?
[21:11] <jeekl> genii: We can log into a tty fine
[21:11] <jeekl> we can run sudo fine
[21:11] <jeekl> it's just kdm messing with us
[21:11] <CSid> latest .. aa 7.1 ?
[21:11] <jeekl> we can't log  into x
[21:11] <foz> bakaboii thanks ill give it a try now
[21:11] <CSid> yup .. just downloaded it :D
[21:11] <mewt> OleMoudi, strange, tried restart ? or atleast issuing a sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[21:11] <mewt> ?
[21:11] <robin> also, @megakqwerti: hm, i thought of that, but there doedsnt seem to be that option with the lxf cd.... gr
[21:11] <ak5_2> Csid and what intel card do you have?
[21:12] <bieb> robin: what do you get when you put the cd in?
[21:12] <CSid> ak5_2 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[21:12] <Megaqwerty> robin: grr indeed. Check the Cd for scratches, and try cleaning it...that's all I can do if that's the case
[21:12] <genii> jeekl: Likely the default user which was created at install does not have same name as the user which was using the system previously, and the things in /home/<oldname> are inaccessible to login of /home/<newname> or such
[21:12] <Ranpha1> can anybody help me with my firehol -moblock router? after a while the internet connection is gone and nothing works anymore only after i shutdown the moblock and firehol firewall it works again
[21:12] <OleMoudi> mewt, restarting the computer will probably work, I just don't want to. alsa-utils restart doesn't work
[21:13] <mewt> OleMoudi, doesnt work cos it doesnt fix anything ? or the command is wrong ?
[21:13] <OleMoudi> mewt, it does not fix anything
[21:13] <genii> jeekl: Also it would have seemed that your default session type previously was kde. The default ubuntu install is of course gnome. Perhaps it is searching for nonexistant wm of last session
[21:13] <robin> @megakwerty thnx anyway for your help! :-)
[21:13] <bieb> robin: do you have a windoze box?
[21:14] <mewt> OleMoudi, there is a command to see which apps are using your sound card but im afraid i forgot them
[21:15] <ak5_2> Csid did you ever look at this post? It might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305662
[21:15] <robin> another question - for an intel computer, which version of ubuntu do i download?
[21:15] <zewb> hey
[21:15] <zewb> i need help
[21:15] <robin> just the normal version?
[21:15] <pike_> robin: yes
[21:15] <jeekl> genii: The old user has the same name as the new one.
[21:15] <zewb> ubuntu has the wrong drivers loaded for wlan0
[21:15] <jeekl> And we created a new user which couldn't log in either
[21:15] <zewb> how do i disable them?
[21:15] <Profanephobia> i just packed up a web site in a password protected .rar file.. i must have spelled the password wrong or something when i made it... how can i crack this?
[21:15] <robin> @bieb yes
[21:15] <OleMoudi> mewt, yeah, I was looking for somethig like that, I tried tab completion with alsa* preffix on terminal but nothing came up, In my old debian box I used to do "alsaconf" to solve this same problem but alsaconf does not show up on apt-get
[21:15] <genii> jeekl: Is the uid:gid also the same? first user on ubuntu is uid/gid 1000
[21:16] <shacamus> Bonsoir tout le monde!
[21:16] <robin> i run windows on my friend's laptop, but he wants to delete it anyway.... :-)
[21:16] <shacamus> J'aurais un petit pb en shell à vous poser :)
[21:16] <genii> jeekl: If ls -l /home/oldname shows some numbers instead of names for user/group and not 1000 then it seems apparent the issue
[21:16] <zewb> how do i find out what drivers are loaded for wlan0?
[21:16] <ak5_2> Csid: according to the forums, this should work out of the box, are you sure you have this card?
[21:16] <bieb> robin: drop the LXF CD in your windows box and see if you can browse it, there are .pdfs and such on there
[21:16] <demco> I have two monitors plugged into an nvidia graphics card, although only 1 screen is shown in the "Screen and displays".. any ideas?

[21:20] <zewb> i need to blacklist the wlan0 driver
[21:21] <CSid2> ak5_2 .. but i can't connect to my wirelles network cause i don't have it listed up in the taskbar .. it's strange .. in iwconfig it shows it ..
[21:21] <foz> where is the bin sorry but new to linux
[21:21] <ak5_2> Csid: So what exactly is the problem? You can't see you wireless network? You can, because you can see the router oO

[21:32] <pike_> ma1: write this down..  1) pray to whatever diety  2) pray some more 3) sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel  4) sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and near bottom change Driver "i810"  to Driver "intel"  then save and exit then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[21:50] <pike_> sainzeo: i believe there is a switch for just total but you could just du -ach | grep total   or somesuch
[21:50] <mociyl> sorin7486: apt-get install manpages-dev
[21:50]  * anizee needs to know how to disk check a NTFS partition?
[21:51] <sainzeo> pike_: thanks for the help! when i attempt to use your command, i still see both the filesize as well as the string "total" next to it
[21:51] <sorin7486> mociyl: thanks allot
[21:51] <pike_> sainzeo: lemme run it real quick
[21:51] <duckytn> anizee,  you mean like a disk scan due to a screwed up mount?
[21:52] <sainzeo> pike_: sounds good - thanks!
[21:52]  * abcent is back
[21:52] <pike_> sigius: you just want the size or what?
[21:52] <erUSUL> sorin7486: manpages-dev ??
[21:52] <noobbutgood> 32GB of space available. how much swap space should I allow?
[21:53] <pike_> sainzeo: du -ach dir/ | grep total | awk "{print $ 1}"
[21:53] <anizee> duckytn, yea Im want to check for bad sectors, and repair problems if found, fsck dosnt do ntfs
[21:53] <sainzeo> pike_: k, let me try that
[21:53] <pike_> sainzeo: it aint pretty ;p
[21:53] <wk-cof> anybody?
[21:53] <pike_> if you have a q about what awk is doing let me know ill explain
[21:53] <sainzeo> pike_: awesome, that worked fine - sure! what exactly is awk doing? i've seen it around but haven't been able to figure it out exactly
[21:54] <duckytn> anizee, you could always use the HD manufacturers disk checking utility. If you want to do a windows scan and do not have a windows installation you might try BartsPE disk
[21:55] <Aledon6> oh no
[21:55] <Aledon6> I am having serious problem
[21:55] <sainzeo> pike_: is it possible to use that command with du -s instead of -ach?
[21:55] <Aledon6> I cannot boot into windows, I get GRUB error 22
[21:55] <Aledon6> how do i get arid of grub?
[21:55] <toomai> hi all
[21:55] <Aledon6> !grub
[21:55] <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
[21:55] <ma1> some send a rock it to the pc
[21:56] <Aledon6> !grub error 22
[21:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub error 22 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:56] <sainzeo> pike_: ah nevermind, figured it out haha
[21:56] <duckytn> anizee, I had a similar problem with a 'dirty' volume and no windows installation to check it. Barts PE disk boots from CD and allows you to do a windows check disk. As for bad sectors, the HD manufacturers disk checking utility would be best
[21:56] <Aledon6> oh no oh no
[21:56] <toomai> anyone having world of warcraft running with wine here? I can not remember the parameter for the config.wtf of WoW to make it run in a windowed mode...
[21:56] <pike_> sainzeo: yeah basically awk is using the spaces as delimiters so you have size path.. and the oh nm then
[21:56] <Aledon6> Please help, how do I remove grub
[21:56] <clay__> what's this all about ? aplay -Dpulse /usr/what's this all about?
[21:56] <anizee> duckytn, thx Ill try that
[21:56] <sainzeo> pike_: thanks so much for you help dude!
[21:56] <clay__> *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
[21:57] <pike_> sainzeo: np
[21:57] <toomai> Aledon6: are you sure you want to remove grub? what are you planning to use as a boot loader?
[21:57] <clay__> aplay: main:545: audio open error: Connection refused
[21:57] <Aledon6> toomai
[21:57] <toomai> Aledon6: yes?
[21:57] <Aledon6> I removed ubuntu so i could install gentoo
[21:57] <duckytn> welcome anizee
[21:57] <Aledon6> i have windows vista. ubuntu and vista were on separate HDDs
[21:57] <toomai> Aledon6: yes, I see....
[21:57] <Niklas_E> is there any version of piklab for ubuntu, so you don't need to compile it?
[21:57] <Aledon6> i deleted all of the partitions off the ubuntu drive
[21:57] <sainzeo> pike_: you wouldn't happen to know the code necessary to create a progress bar using zenity while creating an ISO from a cd would you?
[21:58] <Aledon6> now whenever i try to boot i get GRUB error 22
[21:58] <toomai> Niklas_E: have you tried their website and searching with "aptitude search piklab"?
[21:58] <Aledon6> please, how do i remove grub
[21:58] <whabo> hey guys i know this question might be stupid but im running pclinuxos on my cousins laptop is there a way i can get opera browser for pclinuxos?? i mean in.rpm form ... that is easy to install??? anyone? thx
[21:58] <pike_> sainzeo: lol umm ive only used zenity once but lemme see. its cool for scripting huh?
[21:58] <sainzeo> pike_: haha yeah, i've been putzing with it for about a day now hoping to get my existing script completely into GUI
[21:59] <toomai> Aledon6: well, you can't just remove it...either you boot with an ms-dos floppy and make a "fdisk /mbr" or you use a live-CD to boot the installed system to reinstall grub
[21:59] <Aledon6> huh?
[21:59] <PP|Spydon> My boot-up splash screen is gone, what shall I do to get it back?
[21:59] <Aledon6> and where may i get data for an ms dos floppy?
[21:59] <Ademan> hey is there anything like xxgamma http://xxgamma.berlios.de/   in the repositories? or something covering that functionality?
[21:59] <ubuntu_> hola tengo problemas al iniciar linux
[21:59] <Aledon6> i happen to have blank floppy disks sitting next to me and a floppy drive
[21:59] <toomai> Aledon6: this is available from the internet....

[22:00] <Aledon6> what should i search for?
[22:00] <Ademan> oh, was that not spanish?
[22:00] <ubuntu_> the comand no found
[22:00] <Aledon6> toomai: a search for MS-DOS floppy breings back nothing :(
[22:00] <nivaldolopes> yes

[22:01] <Aledon6> toomai: which one of these should i download? http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml
[22:01] <littlegeek> can anyone help me fix this error:E:  The package limewire-basic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it------and I have it on my desktop
[22:01] <atlef> Aledon6: http://www.bootdisk.com/
[22:01] <nivaldolopes> como faz isso
[22:01] <Aledon6> atlef: which should i download?
[22:01] <toomai> Aledon6: I'd try windows 98 first
[22:02] <pbn> Hello, I am having some problem booting, look: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/164302
[22:02] <Aledon6> toomai i have vista
[22:02] <toomai> Aledon6: that does not matter, as this disk is only to boot from and to use the commmand "fdisk /mbr" or was it "fdisk \mbr"?
[22:03] <littlegeek>  can anyone help me fix this error:E:  The package limewire-basic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it------and I have it on my desktop and it wont let me open synaptic package manager
[22:03] <Aledon6> but that will recreate DOS startup, i want vista startup!
[22:03] <duckytn> Aledon6, that will simply overwrite the MBR not change any startup
[22:03] <Aledon6> but i need vista startup
[22:03] <toomai> Aledon6: the command mentioned will wipe your MBR (master boot record)....and that should do the trick....or you use your Vista-DVD to "repair" everthing
[22:03] <Aledon6> would vista boot pro repair?
[22:03] <jeekl> genii: his ~ seems to be full, even uf he deletes files it seems to fill up instantly
[22:04] <jeekl> anything to try?
[22:04] <littlegeek>  can anyone help me fix this error:E:  The package limewire-basic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it------and I have it on my desktop and it wont let me open synaptic package manager
[22:04] <sayers> littlegeek, try frostwire
[22:04] <erUSUL> littlegeek: double click on the deb file ??
[22:04] <littlegeek> ok
[22:04] <littlegeek> ok
[22:04] <soneil> Aledon6: the mbr fdisk creates isn't specific to any version of dos or windows.  it's just a very simple mbr that'll boot the first partition that's marked as bootable.   so it'll work for vista just as well as pcdos
[22:04] <atlef> Aledon6: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
[22:05] <Aledon6> kk
[22:05] <littlegeek> erUSL: ok
[22:05] <littlegeek> sayers:ok
[22:06] <Aledon6> ok
[22:06] <BaAcKuP> hello i am ubuntu 7.10 user.. i have downloaded and installed enlightenment. now how can i activate it?
[22:06] <Aledon6> so do i just put WIN98SE.exe onto floppy as0is?
[22:06] <Aledon6> *as-is?
[22:06] <atlef> Aledon6: do you have the vista dvd
[22:06] <Aledon6> yes but it is OEM
[22:06] <Aledon6> it does not have repair function on it
[22:06] <atlef> shouldn't matter
[22:06] <Aledon6> it does matter
[22:06] <atlef> mine does
[22:07] <Aledon6> i cannot access the repair option on it
[22:07] <toomai> BaAcKuP: you need to log out to your window display manager (where you put your username and password)...there you can choose which window manager it starts (kde, gnome, enlightment, etc.)
[22:07] <Aledon6> i have tried, it says disabled and it is greyed out
[22:07] <jals> is there a way to make a directory writeable by a particular app?
[22:07] <hubuntu> jals  what do you need to get done?
[22:07] <toomai> Aledon6: greyed out? if you used the boot disk it should give you ms dos only....a shell
[22:07] <littlegeek> erUSUL: It wont let me open any package it says every one is corrupt, even frostwire
[22:07] <BaAcKuP> right
[22:07] <BaAcKuP> thanks toomai
[22:07] <cox> does anyone know a command to check packet loss when pinging
[22:08] <toomai> BaAcKuP: very welcome
[22:08] <jals> hubuntu, i have this flyback app, it does backups, i need it to write to my second hdd, but i only want it to have access to one directory
[22:08] <Aledon6> toomai: huh?
[22:08] <BaAcKuP> so i reboot and stop at when i put my password ? and then at left side i select it right?
[22:08] <toomai> BaAcKuP: NO NEED TO REBOOT!!! just log out...:)
[22:08] <BaAcKuP> ok
[22:08] <BaAcKuP> thanks
[22:08] <BaAcKuP> lemme try it.. if it doesnt work.. will come again to bother you :D thanks big time anyways
[22:08] <Angelus> Can someone help me install compriz-fusion, I'm a ubuntu newb
[22:08] <toomai> BaAcKuP: sure
[22:09] <Megaqwerty> littlegeek: did your problem get resolved?
[22:09] <hubuntu> jals mmm.... but can't you just configure it in the config file, og just chmod the right for that directory alone?
[22:09] <sayers> Angelus, with gutsy, it should already be installed
[22:09] <noobbutgood> On installing the latest ubuntu ( after choosing the partitioning options ) The "Installing system" box seems to be waiting for a really long time on 15%. Is this normal?
[22:09] <toomai> Aledon6: that exe you downloaded should let you make a boot disk...with that disk you start your computer you have troubles with...you will end up on a black screen with a cursor
[22:09] <jals> hubuntu, i could chmod, not too familar with it
[22:10] <jals> do i just want to make it writeable by everyone?
[22:10] <K99Brain> !hardware
[22:10] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[22:10] <Aledon6> toomai: that no help
[22:10] <Aledon6> it is an exe file, ubuntu does not know what it is

[22:11] <Aledon6> livecd
[22:11] <Megaqwerty> littlegeek: you need to reinstall it manually. cd ~/Desktop && sudo dpkg -i limewire-basic*.deb
[22:11] <toomai> Aledon6: oh, okay...on the machine which has the problem?
[22:11] <Aledon6> toomai, what do you mean?
[22:11] <Bruno_> Angelus: to edit compiz settings type sudo apt-get compizconfig-settings-manager

[22:12] <toomai> noobbutgood: are you using SATA?
[22:12] <noobbutgood> Yes toomai
[22:12] <Aledon6> the only os actually installed on the machine now (as in, hard drive installed) is windows vista
[22:12] <Aledon6> i cannot get to it due to grub error 22
[22:12] <toomai> Aledon6: ah, I see...
[22:13] <Megaqwerty> Aledon6: sometimes a simple reboot gets rid of that error
[22:13] <Aledon6> i doubt it :s
[22:13] <littlegeek> Megaqwerty:it tells me that either the package is corrupt or i dont have permissions to access it
[22:13] <PP|Spydon> Does anyone know how to get the boot-up splash screen back if it is gone on a fresh install?
[22:13] <littlegeek> Megaqwerty:but that is with any package
[22:13] <Aledon6> I erased the ubuntu partitions on the ubuntu hard drive (which is separate from vista's HDD), and now i get error 22
[22:13] <Megaqwerty> well I need the exact error produced
[22:14] <Megaqwerty> littlegeek: otherwise, I don't think I can help you

[22:18] <CoasterMaster> MasterNe0, is the tab not there?  Or do you get an error?
[22:18] <Aledon6> how do i get arid of grub?
[22:18] <MasterNe0> i get "Desktop Effect can not be enabled"
[22:18] <toomai> Aledon6: okay...you problem is, that grub wrote on the MBR (master boot record) at the ver beginning of your harddisk...that part of the harddisk is ment for writing information about which patition to boot....grub wrote into that part...you need now to clean that part
[22:19] <Tommy> masterne0
[22:19] <Aledon6> toomai: how?
[22:19] <me> install kubuntu
[22:19] <Tommy> are your driver installed correctly?
[22:19] <toomai> Aledon6: there is a command you need to perform at the shell....but I do not know if that works
[22:19] <Aledon6> dont you mean terminal?
[22:19] <Tommy> someone with ati graka in here?
[22:19] <chew> sorry if i'm repeating myself put i will give it another go, http://pastebin.ca/798597 is a error i get when trying to patch mplayer with the compiz patch, anyone here know what to do?

[22:19] <Alyxander> sorry for asking twice but anyone using e17
[22:20] <Aledon6> ok im in terminal... now what?
[22:20] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone know how i can run a terminal script from the panel?
[22:20] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, yes. :)
[22:20] <chew> UBUNTUISLOVED: chmod u+x the script, put in in path, and add it normally
[22:20] <toomai> Aledon6: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1"
[22:20] <me> does the new 7.11 ati driver work with fresh install
[22:20] <Aledon6> toomai: will that damage anything?
[22:20] <nasi_padang> can i install kde from kubuntu 7.10 cd?
[22:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ok so it has to be in the path of the user to execute it
[22:21] <chew> UBUNTUISLOVED: or just put it in with the whole path to the script
[22:21] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, did chew's answer help, or do you need more in-depth discussion about this?
[22:21] <toomai> Aledon6: I do not know...I can not take any garantuees here
[22:21] <Aledon6> then I will not use it
[22:21] <toomai> Aledon6: it should only clear the mbr
[22:21] <BaAcKuP> toomai, it worked !
[22:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ive already chmod 777 it
[22:21] <Tommy> me: ive got problems with my ati
[22:21] <toomai> BaAcKuP: great...:)
[22:21] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, bad idea...
[22:21] <Tommy> and its a fresh
[22:21] <james_hetfield> Good day gentlemen, could someone guide me into programming ? : R
[22:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> it runs a .sh script
[22:21] <BaAcKuP> toomai few more questions though
[22:21] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, you want to be really careful with 777
[22:21] <toomai> BaAcKuP: shoot
[22:21] <chew> nn
[22:21] <UBUNTUISLOVED> i know i was just testing it
[22:21] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, OK

[22:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> but it doesnt seem to run let me try the U+X
[22:22] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, so from there just supply the absolute path to run it
[22:22] <toomai> BaAcKuP: oh, sorry...have no idea...I do not use enlight myself
[22:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> i did
[22:22] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: first chose a language to learn, then find some tuts online
[22:22] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, run it in the terminal, and tell us what it says, then
[22:22] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, and tell us what you typed to get it to run
[22:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> the funny thing is it runs from a terminal fine
[22:22] <BaAcKuP> i see. in photos it looked cool i wanna make my pc that cool heh
[22:22] <toomai> :)
[22:22] <james_hetfield> Bruno_, I've chosen C++, and read enough ... doesn't say all that much

[22:23] <mnuaimat> hi guys
[22:23] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: any reason as to why C++?
[22:23] <Ubmin> .
[22:23] <buttercups> me, 7.11 needs to be downloaded from amd.com, gutsy comes with fglrx 8.37
[22:23] <Ubmin> woo
[22:23] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, OK, make that "sh -c '/opt/lampp/start.sh'" and put that into your shortcut
[22:23] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, assuming your script is actually SH. ;)
[22:24] <james_hetfield> Bruno_, well, from what I've read, It's a flexible one, with a nice syntax ... more advanced than C
[22:24] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, also, your LAMP server should start automatically if configured correctly.
[22:24] <Tommy> buttercups:
[22:24] <Tommy> whats gutsy for?
[22:24] <Cpudan80> james_hetfield: If you are starting out programming, I'd use Java
[22:24] <mnuaimat> i am using ubuntu 7.10 with compiz , when i change the workspace on my ubuntu 7.10 the effect is different that i used to see in 7.04, is there anyway i change to that effect which quickly rotates the cube for you
[22:24] <me> odomsbar dvbn has what you need google it
[22:24] <Cpudan80> Java is _very_ forgiving
[22:24] <UBUNTUISLOVED> i set it to not run automatically as it uses resources
[22:24] <Cpudan80> Mainly because it won't let you do something totally stupid
[22:24] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: if its your first time learning a language i suggest you start with python, unless you need C++ for some job or something
[22:24] <toomai> Tommy: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name of Ubunt 7.10, the newest release
[22:24] <Tommy> ow:)
[22:24] <james_hetfield> Cpudan80, but isn't it mainly web-orientated
[22:24] <Alyxander> anyone tried e17 or elubuntu yet?
[22:24] <Cpudan80> Python is also very good - very easy syntax
[22:25] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: be right back
[22:25] <Tommy> ive have probs with my ati :(
[22:25] <james_hetfield> Bruno_,  ok
[22:25] <Cpudan80> james_hetfield: No, Java is not the same as JavaScript
[22:25] <mnuaimat> i am using ubuntu 7.10 with compiz , when i change the workspace on my ubuntu 7.10 the effect is different that i used to see in 7.04, is there anyway i change to that effect which quickly rotates the cube for you
[22:25] <crdlb> james_hetfield: python is an excellent first choice, especially because of pygtk
[22:25] <james_hetfield> Well, I'll look up python, then
[22:25] <PP|Spydon> My boot-up splash screen is gone, does anyone know how to bring it back? it is a fresh install.
[22:25] <Cpudan80> james_hetfield: Java is an extremely powerful language
[22:25] <javaJake> UBUNTUISLOVED, ah, OK, I see
[22:25] <Tommy> buttercups:  are you experienced with ati cards?
[22:25] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: edit /boot/grub
[22:26] <UBUNTUISLOVED> doesnt seem to execite
[22:26] <james_hetfield> and...a method, from tutorials, books or?
[22:26] <PP|Spydon> What shall I edit in there then, Cpudan80 ?
[22:26] <buttercups> Tommy, I don't know, what are you trying to do
[22:26] <Tommy> installing the propiet driver
[22:26] <Tommy> ubuntu seem to fall back on vega on reboot
[22:26] <buttercups> Tommy, the latest driver from amd.com?
[22:26] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: /boot/grub/menu.lst -- look for defoptions=quiet splash
[22:27] <Limbonic_Art> Whats the right command to use nmap to get a list of ALL open ports? Im not getting anything and it looks like it's taking forever
[22:27] <PP|Spydon> okay
[22:27] <james_hetfield> btw, Limbonic Art rule :R
[22:27] <Tommy> 8.1.4 or something :)
[22:27] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: Is this a laptop by any chance?
[22:27] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: btw, you need to be sudo when you edit it
[22:27] <KenSentMe> Hi,i try to install ruby on rails on Ubuntu Gutsy using this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails#head-b67f2542810c0571bebbd0ce6a60b64f4623067a But at the last part i get this error: setup.rb:50: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

[22:27] <Earthling> Hey all, just installed latest Ubuntu very impressed with it :-) I am wondering whether anyone has came across a program similar to iTunes so I can easily make multiple playlists since I have a pretty big MP3 collection
[22:27] <buttercups> Tommy, follow method 2, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[22:27] <james_hetfield> crdlb, so should I try learning it from a book, or on line stuff?
[22:27] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: oh ok - then that's not the problem
[22:28] <Aledon6> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3843995#post3843995
[22:28] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: The problem is that the screen resolution is too high - the fix is easy
[22:28] <PP|Spydon> Okay
[22:28] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: Give me a second to find it
[22:28] <jals> wait, i went afk and missed the advice
[22:28] <jals> oh well, i'll google it
[22:28] <Tommy> aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
[22:28] <Limbonic_Art> I need help with nmap
[22:28] <Earthling> thanks anyway, bye
[22:29] <Ubmin> hey i've got a scripting question that i can't seem to find the answer to on google... i'm trying to use sed to regexp the contents of a bash variable with something else, but it doesn't work.. example: VARIABLE="this thing"; AH="${VARIABLE} and that thing"; echo ${AH} | sed -e 's/${VARIABLE}/nothing/g'; done  <-- that works
[22:29] <Limbonic_Art> Or what's a good port scanner for linux?
[22:29] <buttercups> Tommy, is your ati card supported?
[22:29] <Ubmin> Limbonic_Art: nmap
[22:29] <bruenig> Ubmin, you can't use a variable in sed
[22:29] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581075
[22:29] <Limbonic_Art> Ubmin: I get no results with nmap. What else can I use?
[22:29] <PP|Spydon> thx Cpudan80 ^^
[22:29] <Tommy> k buttercups
[22:29] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: Just follow the second post
[22:29] <bruenig> Ubmin, however you could do that with parameter expansion
[22:29] <Ubmin> bruenig: yes i can, if the quotes are double quotes, like this:  sed -e "s/${VARIABLE}/nothing/g"
[22:30] <whabo> hi there i do have a quick question for anyone who uses opera .. how to you disable it from downloading torrents automatically ?because i use a different torrent program? anyone? plz help

[22:30] <Ubmin> hrmmm
[22:31] <bruenig> Ubmin, that is a better way to do it anyways
[22:31] <njbair> has anybody reported problems starting firefox after upgrading to ubuntu 7.1?
[22:31] <Ubmin> bruenig: thanks, i'll give it a shot
[22:31] <jimjam> Ubuntu does not have my swap turned on by default. Any way to fix that?
[22:32] <jimjam> i have a partition ready for it, and it works with a swapon -a call
[22:32] <bruenig> Ubmin, you may need to echo that whole thing, I don't know what you are trying to do
[22:32] <bruenig> Ubmin, like echo "${AH//${VARIABLE}/nothing}"
[22:32] <malnilion> jimjam, have you checked your fstab file?
[22:32] <PP|Spydon> It worked Cpudan80, thx!!
[22:32] <Ubmin> bruenig: i'm actually trying to do it within a for loop
[22:32] <Cpudan80> PP|Spydon: Woohoo!

[22:32] <jimjam> malnilion:

[22:33] <jimjam> malnilion: UUID=bba4e16b-7cfc-4b06-b532-c6f3c5dfb4fa	none		swap	sw				0	0
[22:33] <Ubmin> bruenig: and when it gets to the double-quote, the pipe breaks
[22:33] <bruenig> Ubmin, why don't you pastebin the whole script
[22:33] <PP|Spydon> Indeed Woohoo then, Cpudan80 :P

[22:33] <Chewy954> anyone know where i can get img2irc?
[22:33] <PerlStalker> What's the "correct" way to reset network information in Gutsy? For example, to renew a DHCP lease or reconnect a wifi link.
[22:33] <jimjam> malnilion: Oops, sorry. here's the sudo blkid output: /dev/sda5: TYPE="swsuspend" UUID="bba4e16b-7cfc-4b06-b532-c6f3c5dfb4fa"
[22:33] <Ubmin> !pastebin
[22:33] <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)
[22:34] <jimjam> Ubmin: Right, my apologies.
[22:34] <malnilion> jimjam, that should be right, odd
[22:35] <Megaqwerty> Chewy954: sudo apt-get install caca-utils
[22:35] <jimjam> malnilion: I'll try the location based. Maybe that will work.
[22:35] <Chewy954> thanks
[22:36] <malnilion> jimjam, that's an odd problem, lol, wish I could be of more assistance
[22:36] <Megaqwerty> Chewy954: no problem :)
[22:36] <clay__> how do i set up pulseaudio so that i don't get a "connection refused" error.
[22:36] <jimjam> malnilion: Thanks anyways
[22:36] <chew> Megaqwerty: you're making my computer go: 'beep'.. ;)
[22:37] <njbair> firefox won't start, saying there is already an instance running, but there's not firefox process to kill. what's wrong?
[22:37] <Megaqwerty> Chew: I guess that's the consequence of being part of someone else's nick. Sorry.
[22:37] <Megaqwerty> Chew: not that it was intentional or anything...
[22:38] <Chewy954> lol
[22:38] <vocx> njbair, do you see the process with "top" or "htop"?
[22:38] <njbair> top
[22:38] <chew> Megaqwerty: xset b 0 ;)
[22:38] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: back
[22:38] <vocx> njbair, then kill it? "sudo killall firefox"
[22:39] <james_hetfield> Bruno_, so I've been told to try python
[22:39] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: python is a veru high leve language, this means its very human readable, easy to learn
[22:39] <njbair> vocx: tried that, says "no process killed"
[22:39] <james_hetfield> yep
[22:39] <james_hetfield> I was just reading
[22:39] <Bruno_> james_hetfield:very high level*
[22:39] <njbair> i really don't think it's already running.
[22:39] <Megaqwerty> chew: had to go to the man page for that one. Good to know.
[22:39] <Chewy954> Megaqwerty, how do i use cava-utils? o.O
[22:39] <james_hetfield> Bruno_,  so the best way is ... tutorials
[22:39] <james_hetfield> or a book ?
[22:39] <Chewy954> caca*
[22:39] <vocx> njbair, then log out and log back in or reboot. It always works, he he.
[22:39] <Megaqwerty> Chewy954: it's caca, but the img2irc command is now enabled (assuming you installed caca-utils)
[22:40] <Chewy954> i did
[22:40] <njbair> vocx: tried that too. three times.
[22:40] <Chewy954> so in terminal type img2irc?
[22:40] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: tutorials, book and maybe join a python forum (or whatever language you choose). also maybe try learning with someone else
[22:40] <Megaqwerty> Chewy954: yep.
[22:40] <Chewy954> cool
[22:40] <Chewy954> thanks
[22:40] <james_hetfield> yep
[22:40] <Megaqwerty> Chewy954: no problem
[22:40] <james_hetfield> I was looking for that kind of person
[22:40] <vocx> njbair, impossible, what were you doing? You obviously were messing with stuff.
[22:40] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, anybody knows how can I access the free music shoutcast service that WinAmp has from Linux? I don't wanna download+install WinAmp under WINE just for that :/
[22:41] <njbair> vocx: i promise i haven't even had a term open on this installation other than to try killall.
[22:41] <ZiRo`> where can i find decent compiz/emerald themes?
[22:41] <MystaMax> gnome-look.org
[22:41] <DARKGuy> ZiRo`, gnome-look.org

[22:41] <jals> how do i view the permissions on a directory from the terminal?
[22:41] <james_hetfield> are personal messages working here?
[22:41] <DARKGuy> ls -g
[22:42] <erUSUL> jals: ls -l
[22:42] <vocx> jals, "ls -l"  and read the manual page for "ls"

[22:43] <bruenig> Ubmin, you know you don't have to put semicolons at the end of each line right?
[22:43] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: i dont know, i dont use irc that much
[22:44] <Ubmin> bruenig: i'm a neat-freak :P
[22:44] <james_hetfield> Bruno_, well, I've written you. I've received 'test'
[22:44] <ZiRo`> what is the differnce between emerald/compiz/beryl?
[22:44] <Megaqwerty> _gpg_: install startup-manager
[22:44] <james_hetfield> compiz is beryl now
[22:44] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: yeah i sent that, but i havnt received anything
[22:44] <Jimdb> emerald is the window decorator compiz handles the special effects
[22:44] <Ubmin> compiz is newer, faster and better
[22:44] <Pelo> Ubmin, bruenig is just plain freaky, you'll get along fine
[22:44] <DARKGuy> and adnyd
[22:44] <Megaqwerty> _gpg_: the option to disable it is in the "Boot Options" tab
[22:44] <DARKGuy> *dandy xD
[22:44] <Ubmin> Pelo lol
[22:44] <james_hetfield> Bruno_, well...this sucks? : D
[22:44] <_gpg_> Megaqwerty je vais midifier grub c'est plus court du coup, merci
[22:45] <ZiRo`> ok, i have compiz installed and emerald
[22:45] <ZiRo`> is this normal setup?
[22:45] <Ubmin> how does it look?
[22:45] <Ubmin> does it... function?
[22:45] <_gpg_> Megaqwerty oops
[22:45] <ohcibi|lappi> is there any vp7-codec for linux available?
[22:45] <ZiRo`> looks great
[22:45] <ZiRo`> works great
[22:45] <_gpg_> Megaqwerty ty for the info
[22:45] <ZiRo`> there are so many theme stuff
[22:45] <Ubmin> so what's the problem? :)
[22:45] <Megaqwerty> _gpg_: you're welcome
[22:46] <Jimdb> anyone here have any luck getting wireless to work on a hp laptop zx5000?
[22:46] <Semidios> so my 3 year old got ahold of my computer and ended up trashing my desktop folder.  I created a new folder in my home directory called Desktop and put my stuff back in it.  but none of it shows up on the desktop.  how can I fix this?
[22:46] <keith-> okay so i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and when i rebooted it said the kernel wasn't there
[22:46] <keith-> what's the deal with that?
[22:46] <Pelo> Semidios,  did you reboot ?
[22:46] <windego40> hello
[22:46] <bruenig> Ubmin, a few problems, first you don't want the shebang to be /bin/sh since that is not universal on all distros, ubuntu uses /bin/dash for some reason, most other distros use /bin/bash, either way you want to link directly to one of those probably "#!/bin/bash"
[22:46] <vocx> Semidios, it was you, tell the truth!
[22:47] <windego40> anyone here know how to convert music files to aac?
[22:47] <Semidios> not completely.  I logged out and back in
[22:47] <junkee> Hello? Can anyone tell me how to disable compiz?
[22:47] <bruenig> Ubmin, technically ` have been deprecated for dollar parentheses
[22:47] <james_hetfield> Bruno_,  so ... just any general advice?
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> junkee: System>Preferences>Appearance>Desktop Effects
[22:47] <ohcibi|lappi> (23:45:25) ohcibi|lappi: is there any vp7-codec for linux available?
[22:47] <Bruno_> james_hetfield: join # celancaster a channel i made.
[22:47] <Pelo> Semidios,  try restarting the comp,  I expect a new Desktop might be created , or your new one will get picked up
[22:47] <Megaqwerty> junkee: I mean...visual effects
[22:47] <Ubmin> bruenig: care to pastebin another way of writing it then?
[22:48] <Semidios> vocx, I wish.  I've done stupid stuff before, but he was playing a game on it, and I didn't notice he had closed the game and was playing move the folder around.  took me hours to track down where he moved everything too
[22:48] <arajabat> hi! what can I do when it happens in the ffmpeg: Unknown codec 'xvid'
[22:48] <Pelo> Semidios,  kids , love them or hang them
[22:48] <vocx> bruenig, I thought most distros used /bin/sh as a symlink to some other more powerful shell like bash. I may be wrong, but who uses plain bourne anymore?
[22:48] <fizzle> arajabat, install the codecs?
[22:49] <bruenig> Ubmin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45956/
[22:49] <arajabat> fizzle: I did it
[22:49] <Tommy> buttercups: installed the driver but emerald seem to hang
[22:49] <fizzle> arajabat,  how?
[22:49] <fizzle> arajabat,  by source or synaptic
[22:49] <arajabat> sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4-dev
[22:49] <bruenig> vocx, most distros linkt to /bin/bash, but some (only ubuntu from what I know) link to /bin/dash, Either way it is better to shebang right to what you are using and not depend on some symlink being right.
[22:49] <arajabat> and a lot of differents codecs
[22:49] <fizzle> thats the dev files
[22:49] <Jimdb> anyone here have any luck getting wireless to work on a hp laptop zx5000?
[22:49] <fizzle> arajabat, try sudo apt-get install codec-essentials
[22:49] <arajabat> ok

[22:54] <erUSUL> dooglus: then set your LANG env variable to the desired /and aviable) locale
[22:54] <fizzle> arajabat,  if you follow instructions and everything is successful and the codec still doesnt work then you need to find out where your codecs are installed
[22:54] <Pelo> Jimdb, the list contains some advice about getting various tings to work on comps and hardware that is problematic for some ppl , that's why I gave you the link,  searching in the forum may also yeild some information
[22:54] <fizzle> and then install the codecs into that folder
[22:55] <cannonball> Hey all, I'm attempting to configure a fresh install of Gutsy Gibbon for some local nfs mounts without editing any config files.  But I can't find any utility that will let me tell it what nfs shares I want to mount (only the network shares utility, which would be for me to export nfs shares).  Any pointers to where I should look?
[22:55] <vocx> Rukus, you can try the command "xev" it captures X events, so when pressing the Win key, you may see the name of the key or the way it responds to the X server.
[22:55] <fizzle> but thats all i can do for you i dont use ubuntu :P
[22:55] <dooglus> erUSUL: it told me: locales is already the newest version.
[22:55] <dooglus> E: Couldn't find package localeconf
[22:55] <Rukus> ok thanks
[22:55] <dooglus> erUSUL: where should I put the LANG= line?
[22:55] <cannonball> If I need to just manually edit files, that's fine.  I was just seeing if I could do it without vim.

[22:56] <fantum13> is grub-install /dev/sda the right thing to be doing?

[22:58] <dooglus> erUSUL: I launch pidgin from the 'start menu' thing.  that doesn't have bash as an ancestor, so .bashrc won't touch it

[23:04] <vocx> skyvotka, your card is quite old, so I guess it doesn't have the best drivers out there to use the new effects. I personally have no experience with it.
[23:04] <Rukus> oh wow
[23:04] <skyvotka> ok tnx
[23:04] <Pelo> Rukus, ?
[23:04] <buttercups> skyvotka, you need xgl or the new 7.11 driver from amd.com

[23:05] <vocx> Rukus, use "dmesg" and see if it says something strange about your keyboard.  Did you upgrade the kernel recently?
[23:05] <fantum13> dansku: file a bug report, that isn't something you can deal with unless you recode the program
[23:05] <Pelo> Rukus, in windows the windows key opens the start menu, I have used windows before, but you donT, seem to understand taht there is no preassigned function to the windows key in linux
[23:06] <dansku> fantum13,  should I install it from source code?
[23:06] <Pelo> dansku, I think you'll have to find an avant channel,  awn is not part of the ubuntu install and so we are not that familar with it ,  sorry,  you might try looking in the forum there might be some info there www.ubuntuforums.org
[23:06] <dansku> ok, ty

[23:16] <d0lph1nK1ng> i tried to install a package using sudo apt-get and it says the package is missing and has no installation candidate (i think from uninstalling it before)  what do i do to install it again?
[23:16] <mikebeecham> I hope someone can help....I have installed 'NZB' on ubuntu Gutsy gibbon...as part of the config, it asks me to choose a media player, but it's an 'explorer' window, rather than a list of media players.....where would I find (for example) the folder to choose VLC?
[23:16] <sethk> Rukus, 105 has 3 more keys than 102
[23:16] <imbecile> vocx:  have u ever heard of them being in existance?
[23:16] <Rukus> mine is set to 105
[23:16] <despierto33> hello, everybody! I'm upgrading my graphics card: nvidia or ati??
[23:16] <excalibur> hi, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my new laptop, and i have no sound the soundcard seems to be ok (i think) but i cant hear nothing
[23:16] <d0lph1nK1ng> despierto33, NVIDIA
[23:16] <Bruno_> despierto33:  nvidia
[23:16] <yrlnry> In "Evolution", I want to attach my SSH public key to an email message.  But the file is in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, and the Evolution "attach file" dialog doesn't display the ".ssh" directory, and doesn't give me a change to type a filename.  What can I do about that, other than copying the file to /tmp?
[23:16] <erUSUL> mikebeecham: use this command 'where vlc'
[23:16] <vocx> imbecile, your contact for marketing is "jenda". He is a moderator of ubuntuforums.org and sometimes gets lost in here.
[23:17] <Pelo> mikebeecham,  do you have a blank field at the bottom just type vlc in it
[23:17] <erUSUL> !sound | excalibur
[23:17] <ubotu> excalibur: 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).

[23:19] <Pelo> later folks
[23:19] <vocx> imbecile, why do you care about the "license"? I has nothing to do with Ubuntu.You can sell free software if you want just as any product. The thing with software is that unlike many things, you can build it yourself from source.
[23:19] <Rukus> its soooooo slow
[23:19] <Rukus> its retarded
[23:19] <hector> in compiz fusion, when i restart; my commands will be the normal
[23:19] <Rukus> its worse than XP
[23:19] <hector> defect
[23:19] <d0lph1nK1ng> Rukus, check the type of ram, it may be rated slowly
[23:19] <mikebeecham> Pelo thanks very much mate...that worked
[23:20] <hvgotcodes> ok smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda does not find any errors -- is there a more rigorous test I could run?
[23:20] <Rukus> ok thanks
[23:20] <kitche> safe*
[23:20] <scragar> my screensaver won't start, anyone any ideas?
[23:20] <imbecile> vocx:  i thought gnu had specific rules against it
[23:20] <mikebeecham> Pelo: how can I associate nzb files with the 'NZB' software?
[23:20] <TiJay> can somebody help me with fixing font settings?
[23:20] <pike_> Rukus: did you recompile with the -runfaster switch?
[23:20] <Rukus> vocx: here is the keyboard section of my xorg.conf.  the only recently edited file that might affect the keyboard:     http://pastebin.com/m12e44c1e
[23:21] <d0lph1nK1ng> pike_, recompile ubuntu?  pretty neat trick
[23:21] <scragar> Rukus: I think it's Ultima, claims to be the fastest linux around, try that
[23:21] <mshadle> crap anyone here know why i get errors like this? "db_input: command not found" and a lot of postinst scripts fail. just normal apt-get installs too. something broke my package management.
[23:21] <vocx> imbecile, nope. You can sell free software. What you cannot do is keep the source to yourself.
[23:21] <hector> please; in compiz fusion i changed the default command, but when i restart it will be default!!!
[23:21] <Rukus> pike_:  no i think i accidentally put -runlikecrap
[23:22] <genii> hvgotcodes: You should be good :) Tho if you are intent on testing the drive maybe get the bootable ultimate boot cd and use the tools specific to your manufacturer of hd for additional tools.
[23:22] <imbecile> ahhhh cool (sorta)
[23:22] <hvgotcodes> genii: how do I test ram? yesterday i had some peculiar behavior that might indicate my computer is dying
[23:22] <pike_> Rukus: i usually run with xfce id recommend you install xubuntu-desktop and try logging into that at login screen. it isnt too impressive eye candy wise at first but easy to edit in settings manager
[23:22] <Jimdb> OK HERE WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS:  i'm getting the message (when I choose restricted drivers) when I select "firmware for broadcom 43xx chipset family" that says "the software source for the package "bcm43xx-fwcutter" is not enabled."  Any ideas?   -------------  the issue was that the installer remarked out all sources in the sources.list file because i didn't have a network cable connected to the laptop at the time of the install.
[23:22] <genii> hvgotcodes: There is a builtin memtest kernel, boot to that
[23:22] <Bruno_> jenda: do you know anyting about the marketing team in mexico?
[23:22] <d0lph1nK1ng> when i removed a package, i can't reinstall it again, it says it was missing or obselote?  how do i fix?
[23:22] <Rukus> well ,is XGL suppsoed to suck up like 150mb of ram?
[23:22] <SuperFart> I'm trying to play a dvd with mplayer but it says that it can't find the file even though I typed in /media/cdrom0
[23:22] <kitche> hector: are you saving your session when you restart?
[23:22] <markybob> hvgotcodes select memtest86 in your grub memu
[23:23] <Borked|Raider> cp -R -f /home/raider/RDX-Files/rdx/trunk/* /home/raider/woW/Interface/AddOns/   anyone able to tell me what arg to add to make it promt me to ask if i want to overwrite, and only if the file taht is to be overwrited is newer then the overwriting file.  i tryed i, but it promtet me for all files.
[23:23] <hvgotcodes> ok thanx
[23:23] <Rukus> pike:  well ,is XGL suppsoed to suck up like 150mb of ram?
[23:23] <il-luzhin> hello
[23:23] <corinth> SuperFart: Is the disc mounted?
[23:23] <erUSUL> Jimdb: have you enabled the sources as i told you??
[23:23] <hvgotcodes> yesterday i turned my computer on, and almost immediately the screen went blank, with the hd light blinking like mad
[23:23] <il-luzhin> Can someone please direct me to a clean inmstall of 7.10?
[23:23] <markybob> Rukus xgl is supposed to suck.  :p
[23:23] <hvgotcodes> i rebooted, and it worked until i bumped it, then the same thing
[23:23] <hector> kitche: im noob, how can i do it?
[23:23] <hvgotcodes> its been stable since then
[23:23] <Jimdb> erusul:  i just explained the cause of my error, just an FYI FOR YOU
[23:23] <vocx> Rukus, I have one more line. I don't remember the details but maybe it is added by reconfiguring the X Server. But you can add it manually too. http://pastebin.com/m4245dcd2
[23:23] <kitche> Rukus: you still use XGL?
[23:24] <pike_> Rukus: i wouldnt know.. ive run in xfce once with beryl and 256mb ram on an old celeron without issue

[23:26] <Jimdb> erusul:  i was explaining when I posted a few minutes ago what caused my error.  I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file and unremmed all the repositories that the ubuntu installer commented out due to me not having my cable plugged in during the install.
[23:26] <Bruno_> vocx: great! thanks. i'll check it our

[23:29] <SuperFart> how do i fix that
[23:30] <shel> I have a Dell Dim4600 that I am trying to dual boot with Win. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a second drive...everything went well. Now when I reboot grub is no where to be found. Any ideas on how I can boot into Ubuntu? Thanks! =]
[23:30] <Rukus> i never thought ubuntu would be so annoying
[23:30] <SuperFart> me either
[23:30] <SuperFart> -.-
[23:30] <nnacht> Hi, how can I fix the mount point of a USB-hard drive? I mean I have problem everytime I plug an external hard drive and the partitions are mouted to different places.
[23:30] <Rukus> i thought mildly annoying in setting it up, not super annoying in keeping it running properly
[23:30] <hockeyfan5000> Why do you say that Rukus?
[23:30] <jayson_r> shel: are the drives sata or pata or mixed?
[23:30] <EruditeHermit> hey, does anyone know how to set the default page margins in OOo and make it the default that is remembered over different sessions?
[23:30] <kitche> Rukus windows is just as annoying as well
[23:31] <shel> jayson_r: mixed, the drive I installed Ubuntu on is PATA, the win drive is SATA
[23:31] <vocx> Rukus, please don't rant in here. It is considered trolling. I you wish to vent then go elsewhere. There is also #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:32] <SuperFart> ya in windows I wasp laying a dvd and resized the window and everything just froze right up
[23:32] <jayson_r> shel: I'll bet ubuntu installed GRUB to the PATA drive (it does the same thing on my desktop) - do you have an option in the BIOS to change which drive boots first and/or a "press for boot menu" option when your PC boots up?
[23:32] <MichealPW> SuperFart: That sounds like an issue with your Video card's drivers.
[23:32] <MichealPW> SuperFart: Although, this is hardly the place for Windows support.
[23:32] <clay__> can someone shoot me a /etc/pulse/client.conf and daemon file?  i wiped them out, and reinstalling pulseaudio has not recreated them.
[23:32] <Aledon6> Which iso should I download?
[23:32] <jayson_r> shel: I don't dual boot, but even though my root partition is on the SATA, I still have to use the PATA as the boot drive in my bios
[23:33] <shel> jayson_r: I do, but it doesn't recognize the PATA drive now

[23:33] <jayson_r> shel: you don't even see the PATA drive in the BIOS?
[23:33] <SuperFart> I'm tyring to play a dvd with mplayer and it says 'can't open dvd device /dev/dvd

[23:33] <shel> jayson_r: nope
[23:33] <hockeyfan5000> you problably need the right codec Superfart

[23:34] <SuperFart> this is too confusing >:(

[23:34] <ubotu> SuperFart: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:34] <SuperFart> I'm not offtopic that dumb bot is
[23:34] <shel> jayson_r: yep, I can run diagnostics on it
[23:34] <Jimdb> i had installed fedora 8 because the live ubuntu cd didn't show my wireless on my laptop & because the compiz didn't work by default.  But I couldn't get the wireless feature working at all.  So, I overwrote the fedora 8 install with an ubuntu install and found that the compiz effects work fine (had to have a valid install).  i just wanted to comment that fedora 8 is looking real good.
[23:34] <ddrplayer512> hello
[23:35] <jayson_r> shel: how if it's not showing up in BIOS?
[23:35] <jayson_r> shel: if a DIAG cd can see it the BIOS HAS to see it as it controlls all hardware in your PC
[23:36] <shel> jayson_r: I don't know, when I boot into the utility partition it sees it, but I dont see it in the bios boot options
[23:36] <jayson_r> shel: what kind of PC is it?
[23:36] <SuperFart> why does ubuntu have to make everything so hard
[23:36] <shel> jayson_r: Dell Dimension 4600

[23:36] <Aledon6> Help!
[23:36] <choudesh> Aledon6: what seems to be the issue?
[23:36] <Aledon6> Finding an iso
[23:37] <Aledon6> http://sgd.howto-linux.de/download/binaries/sgd/cdrom/
[23:37] <choudesh> Aledon6: what iso are you looking for?
[23:37] <Aledon6> Which one?
[23:37] <jayson_r> shel: is it the same in the bios as well as the press any key to boot from... menu?
[23:37] <shel> jayson_r: yep
[23:37] <Aledon6> It's grub stuff. I'm trying to fix something (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624118)
[23:37] <jayson_r> shel: one thing you can try just for troubleshooting sake is unplugging the SATA and see if the PATA will boot Ubuntu
[23:37] <choudesh> Aledon6: those are just different version. I would suggest the latest version
[23:37] <shel> jayson_r: that might work
[23:37] <Aledon6> Are latest ones towards the bottom or top?
[23:38] <jayson_r> shel: but it still doesn't fix your problem :) but WILL tell if you if that is the problem
[23:38] <choudesh> Aledon6: bottom. look @ the numbers
[23:38] <Aledon6> k thanx
[23:38] <jayson_r> shel: I'd see if you can get some detailed documentation from Dell to see how to go about changing the default boot order to that drive, or perhaps someone here w/ a Dell could chime in...I'm just not that familiar w/ their BIOS system
[23:38] <shel> jayson_r: its so weird, the drive passes every diagnostic test I throw at it
[23:38] <Aledon6> i downloaded an iso
[23:39] <Aledon6> choudesh: should I extract the iso before i put it onto the disk or not?
[23:39] <PP|Spydon> My gnome splash-screen is gone, how do I get it back? It's a fresh install
[23:39] <jayson_r> shel: I'm sure it's not the drive, it's just that Ubuntu installed GRUB to the PATA, and your PC is booting the SATA...
[23:39] <hockeyfan5000> shel:  What bootloader are you using?
[23:39] <Jimdb> superfart:  the issue is with teh codec not with ubuntu nor linux.
[23:39]  * SuperFart farts
[23:39] <choudesh> Aledon6: if you are going to use that ISO on your current machine - it would be easier just to mount the iso
[23:39] <clay__> can someone shoot me a /etc/pulse/client.conf and daemon file?  i wiped them out, and reinstalling pulseaudio has not recreated them.
[23:39] <Aledon6> so just put the iso onto the disk choudesh?
[23:39] <SuperFart> the issue is that ubuntu needs to have codecs and can't just play it like windows mediap layer can
[23:39] <shel> hockeyfan5000: grub
[23:40] <Jimdb> superfart:  just like under windows you would have to purchase a codec to play a movie off an encrypted dvd, you have to provide ubuntu/linux with the proper codec.
[23:40]  * SuperFart farts
[23:40] <SuperFart> maybe I'll just run windows mediap layer with wine.
[23:40] <choudesh> Aledon6: no - you just mount the ISO as if it was already burned to a CD.
[23:40] <shel> jayson_r: its weird, I have options of SATA Master, Primary Master, and C:, which are all the same drive =]
[23:40] <Aledon6> um... okay?
[23:40] <choudesh> Aledon6: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87369
[23:40] <Jimdb> superfart:  you don't get to play dvds by default under windows.  you have to purchase a commercial dvd codec unless, unless, you bought a prefab and that prefab manufacturer provided you with a free copy of a commercial package.
[23:40]  * SuperFart farts
[23:40] <jayson_r> I'll bet Primary Master is the PATA
[23:40] <Aledon6> choudesh: I'm running from liveCD
[23:41] <SuperFart> I bought my computer at a flea market
[23:41] <shel> jayson_r: tried that =[
[23:41] <choudesh> Aledon6: O. Then I would suggest burning it to a CD. ;-)
[23:41] <Aledon6> choudesh: What i need to do requires burning it to CD and then restarting the computer
[23:41] <Aledon6> K ;)
[23:41] <jayson_r> shel: you shouldn't see C:\ in the BIOS???
[23:41] <Aledon6> thanks :)
[23:41] <georgy_28> SuperFart, : install w32codecs, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread and libdvdplay
[23:41] <jayson_r> shel: that def. would not be an option there
[23:41] <Jimdb> i'm not talking about "you" i'm talking about people that buy computers in general.
[23:41] <jayson_r> shel: how are you getting into the BIOS?
[23:41] <shel> jayson_r: maybe that was in the other boot options screen
[23:42] <shel> jayson_r: F2
[23:42] <TiJay> Can someone explain what happened and help me fix this please? Before reboot: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1668/screenshot1copyyb5.png After reboot: http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9871/screenshotzz1.png
[23:42] <TiJay> The fonts got all crooked up
[23:42] <hockeyfan5000> f2 is the bios for Dell
[23:42] <Jimdb> superfart:  precisely, you need to install the w32codec, libdvdcss2, libdvdnav, etc.  you do that through synaptic package manager.  you may have to enable some restricted repositories but after installing those your dvd movies will play.
[23:42]  * SuperFart farts
[23:42] <jayson_r> shel: do you frequent the Ubuntu Forums at all? I have a Dell at work and I could explore some options for you tomorrow morning...
[23:43] <shel> I never do, Im a ubuntu virgin =]
[23:43] <shel> jayson_r: thanks for your help though, Im sure I can figure it out someday =]
[23:43] <hockeyfan5000> shel are you dual booted?
[23:43] <Jimdb> superfart:  no offense intended but I am curious about how old you are.  pretty impressive if you are a teenager or a pre-teen and you are using linux.
[23:43]  * SuperFart farts
[23:43] <jayson_r> shel: try posting your problem there as well, you may get some bites, and if I find anything out in the morning, I'll dig up your thread and let you know what I find out...sorry I couldn't help more tonight
