[00:00] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: you need to use some sort of either proxy service (squid) or network fowarding such as iptables setup
[00:00] <Clay_The_Arc> recommended one?
[00:00] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: do you want just browsing or more
[00:00] <Clay_The_Arc> i just really want browsing
[00:00] <Clay_The_Arc> because thats all my brother  does
[00:00] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: I'd suggest squid so there is, if possible some form of caching to save the dial up browsing
[00:00] <Mark761966> Can anyone walk me through making a custom live distro?
[00:00] <Clay_The_Arc> apt-get install squid?
[00:00] <slugone> sudo
[00:00] <ipiz> sethk sorry, wasn't paying any attention ..
[00:00] <slugone> apt get
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> ya
[00:01] <ikonia> Mark761966: no, that is nothing to do with ubuntu
[00:01] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: thats the basics for the install
[00:01] <Mark761966> Yes it is
[00:01] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: then you need to set it up
[00:01] <am_> sethk, you still here?
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: check into reconstructor.. that question is beyond the scope of what we do here.
[00:01] <ikonia> Mark761966: no, it's not
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> k
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> eek 6mb :%
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> anything smaller?
[00:01] <Mark761966> I'm trying to make a custom live distro of Ubuntu
[00:01] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: not really, squid is your best option
[00:01] <sethk> am_, yes and no, I'm dealing with a client.  I'll be back in a bit.
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> kk
[00:01] <Mark761966> So I don't have to use Windows
[00:01] <ikonia> Mark761966: then it is nothing to do with ubuntu - it's your own custom distro
[00:01] <am_> sethk, i have to go now for a few minutes. heres my file thing http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48490/
[00:01] <ikonia> Mark761966: you can use ubuntu so you don't have to use windows
[00:01] <Clay_The_Arc> Thx <3
[00:02] <Mark761966> Christ
[00:02] <ikonia> Mark761966: no, ikonia
[00:02] <Mark761966> Go away if you're going to be unhelpful
[00:02] <ikonia> Mark761966: I'm advising you that your own custom distro is nothing to do with ubuntu or the #ubuntu support channel

[00:03] <slugone> okay i got a question.....i got the i386 distro on my macbook ......i got 4 workspaces and it makes a cube with the advance graphics thingy i downloaded.....can i get a workspace on the top and bottom without the 64bit edition
[00:03] <Mark761966> It's NOT FAIR
[00:03] <rico> lappy, thats most likely because  of the permissions of your files
[00:03] <smartboyalex77> Hi there
[00:03] <ipiz> lappy Use mount -t ntfs
[00:03] <ikonia> slugone: the workspace on top is nothing to do with the 64bit version
[00:03] <lappy> ipiz what is -t?
[00:03] <scguy318> Mark761966: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or a diff chan
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: You were directed to a program that would do what you wanted, but you insist on spoonfeeding
[00:04] <Mark761966> Whatever
[00:04] <slugone> hmmm how do i get it on the top and bottom of the qube :P
[00:04] <x_> anyone using Adobe CS3 on ubuntu ?!
[00:04] <ikonia> slugone: the top is not supported as I recall
[00:04] <scguy318> x_: that's not a reality,you unfortunately need Windows for that
[00:04] <ikonia> x_: loads of people in #winehq will probably

[00:08] <wasme> Hi ... when I try to drag and drop songs into my ipod with rhythmbox it automaticly transcodes the .ogg to .m4a (aac), which is good, but the transcoded songs don't play on the ipod. I tried playing them on rhythmbox and the sound like vinyl records with lots of skips in theme. Anyone have any clue what's wrong and how to fix it (besides transcoding the files manually myself)?
[00:08] <x_> ikonia  i don't know that thing u sad  :-(
[00:08] <smartboyalex77> Hello can someone help me
[00:08] <scguy318> Jack_Sparrow: I wonder how many of them tried to put the CD in the floppy drive? :P
[00:08] <x_> ikonia   what's that ?! is that a command line ?!

[00:08] <mushy> will ubuntu always bee(buzz!) the best from here on out?
[00:08] <ikonia> x_: the channel #winehq on freenode is full of guys using wine and support it. They may have more expeirence knowing if it will work with wine or not
[00:09] <ipiz> lappy you want to mount a windows partition, right? .. Mount means making a foreign filesystem looks like part of a main tree.
[00:09] <smartboyalex77> I did
[00:09] <ikonia> mushy: thats personal opinion
[00:09] <TheZealot> is it unsafe to allow zone transferring on large network?
[00:09] <x_> thanks
[00:09] <ikonia> TheZealot: it certainly can be
[00:09] <Clay_The_Arc> okay
[00:09] <smartboyalex77> how do I change the path of music(in the places menu) to a different path (one on another partition)
[00:09] <mushy> what do you mean opinion? what more could you need i havnt had to really do anything and my linux runs like a champ
[00:09] <mushy> what other linux can do that
[00:09] <Clay_The_Arc> squid is downloaded, what now?
[00:09] <ikonia> mushy: thats great. Well done
[00:10] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: you need to configure it, the link I sent you earlier will give you some ideas
[00:10] <chester_martins> WHEN I leave my pc turned on with p2p active (downloading), the wireless connection disconnect and i need to reboot pc to solv the problem :S
[00:10] <chester_martins> can anybody help me?
[00:10] <kdubois> if i want my pdf's to run with xpdf instead of evince, how do i configure that?
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> what link?
[00:10] <wasme> smartboyalex77: that's nautilus' bookmarks
[00:10] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: for your needs I suggest using as large a cache option as possible
[00:10] <onats> is there any way to expand the /home folder by just resizing the partition?
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> i stpped  out of the room and missed it
[00:10] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: that way your dial up access will be optimised for browsing
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> ikonia, cant i set  it to delete it?
[00:10] <mushy> i got compiz on my systemits so pretty
[00:10] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: delete what ?
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> nvm
[00:10] <mats_> Hey, having troubles getting sound from my microphone in ubuntu 7.10...i have a creative audigy 4 soundcard
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> lol, wasn't thinking clearly
[00:10] <Clay_The_Arc> :]
[00:10] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: no problem
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> onats: Be aware that resizing any partition on a drive will reset all uuid's on that partition...
[00:11] <Clay_The_Arc> what's the link for squid configuration again if you please
[00:11] <Wing> If there any way to jail an SSH user into their home directory?
[00:11] <ikonia> !squid | Clay_The_Arc
[00:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:11] <ikonia> ah
[00:11] <smartboyalex77> nautilus ?  I am a total newbie by the way (I installed it 2 hours ago)
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Nautilus is a file manager
[00:11] <onats> jack_Sparrow, what would be the effect of this?
[00:12] <wasme> smartboyalex77: go to any filemanager window (like, the home directory or somethnig), then there's a bookmarks menu. Go to 'Edit Bookmarks'
[00:12] <Clay_The_Arc> FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname.  Please set 'visible_hostname'
[00:12] <Clay_The_Arc> ^ how do i set "visible_hostname"
[00:12] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: what are you doing?
[00:12] <Clay_The_Arc> typed "sudo squid"
[00:12] <Clay_The_Arc> n it returned that
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> onats: grub and fstab will no longer point to the correct partitions.. and you most likely will not boot into ubuntu
[00:12] <bluejay> hello
[00:12] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: why did you do that ?
[00:12] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: I told you it has to be configured before you use it
[00:12] <Clay_The_Arc> idk
[00:13] <Clay_The_Arc> i know :P
[00:13] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: then why did you do it
[00:13] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: if you're not interested in listening to help and advice, you won't continue to get it
[00:13] <chester_martins> WHEN I leave my pc turned on with p2p active (downloading), the wireless connection disconnect and i need to reboot pc to solv the problem :S
[00:13] <Clay_The_Arc> I'm interested in listening to it.
[00:13] <bluejay> can anyone recommend me a good online music player through which i can listen to my songs on my computer?
[00:13] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: then go and google for squid, I've told you what not to do, and you just did it
[00:13] <Clay_The_Arc> :\ k
[00:14] <pacman__> I put XP on an old HD and I'm wanting to set it up so it asks me on boot up which OS to load
[00:14] <ikonia> pacman__: you need to boot from a hard disk with grub on, then configure grub to be aware of both ubuntu and your new windows XP
[00:14] <rsk> pacman__: offtopic
[00:14] <ikonia> rsk: thats not offtopic
[00:14] <meoblast001> hello
[00:14] <kdubois> where do you set default pdf viewer program?
[00:14] <pacman__> I saw where I can make the timeout quicker
[00:15] <rsk> ikonia: i never saw anything ubuntu related in there
[00:15] <meoblast001> i searched google and can't find the answer to this, but i installed Pidgin through the repos and i cant figure out where to put plugins
[00:15] <ikonia> pacman__: ok, so you have grub installed, thats great
[00:15] <meoblast001> can someone help me with that?
[00:15] <rsk> ikonia: but if you say soo.
[00:15] <ikonia> rsk: wanting the boot loader to offer windows as a boot option
[00:15] <onats> jack_sparrow, its just my /home folder, which is separated to another partition.. i plan to extend the size of this partition.. its located between my / partition and the swap space.. so only the swap will be moved.. will it still have the same effect/
[00:15] <onats> ?
[00:15] <mats_> Hey, having troubles getting sound from my microphone in ubuntu 7.10...i have a creative audigy 4 soundcard
[00:15] <mats_> what to do?
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> kdubois: easiest thing, right click a pdf file, properties, open with tab, and choose the program you want
[00:15] <rsk> mats_: alsamixer and unmute mic ?
[00:16] <mats_> not muted...
[00:16] <smartboyalex77> okI think I figured it out thanx
[00:16] <bluejay> does anyone use MPD?
[00:16] <dury> hi there all channel :)
[00:16] <kdubois> IndyGunFreak: of course, but i want it to by default not use evince, which hogs memory insatiably
[00:16] <ikonia> bluejay: mpd ?
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> onats: Changing ANY partition on that drive..
[00:16] <cleaton> seems like non of my virtual consoles are working, it's just black when i do ctrl+alt + number. what can i do to make them work again?
[00:16] <bluejay> ikonia// Music Player Daemon
[00:16] <onats> jack_Sparrow, ok
[00:16] <onats> thanks
[00:17] <Clay_The_Arc> ikonia, i'm on google and see no guides to setting it up :$
[00:17] <ikonia> bluejay: never heard of it
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> kdubois: it shouldnj't do that.. ,at least it doesn't for me, i chose the program i wanted, and it always uses it.
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> onats: it can be fixed.. just wanted to prepare you
[00:17] <bluejay> ikonia// o..
[00:17] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: thats not my concern, I offered you advice and you did the exact opposite
[00:17] <kitche> kdubois: probably have to change the mimetype application for .pdf's
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> you could uninstall evince, that would guarantee it doesn't get used..lol
[00:17] <ericmoritz\0> hi I have a laptop that I'm using to read ebooks by rotating the screen with xrandr so that i can hold the laptop like a book, the only issue is that when I run xrandr -o left, the trackpad doesn't rotate so moving the cursor up actually moves it left.  Anyone have a solution, I'm using the synaptics driver
[00:17] <kdubois> IndyGunFreak: i'll guess i'll just have to delve into system internals to find out where it is....
[00:17] <dury> I'm in the terminal and what the super.user password
[00:18] <Clay_The_Arc> :\, I was awaiting your link and wanted to see what errors it got when ran normally
[00:18] <inciner9> I installed apache2 and no-ip via apt and everything was working perfectly until I tried to access the server through no-ip. Running "host no-ipaddress" gives me my IP but if I put "no-ipaddress" in firefox, I can't open it.
[00:18] <ikonia> ericmoritz\0: thats a very specific requirment, I'd put money on it not being in the touchpad driver
[00:18] <ikonia> dury: there is no super user password
[00:18] <onats> jack_Sparrow, ok, i will try it, thanks for the tip. won't find out how to fix til i go for it
[00:18] <meoblast001> does anyone know where to put pidgin plugins?
[00:18] <kregg> does anyone know if the current compiz fusion in ubuntu gutsy is stable or not?
[00:18] <ipiz> meoblast001 ~/.purple
[00:19] <kdubois> i did uninstall evince :-D
[00:19] <am_> sethk, i'm back, tell me whenever your ready (if you see this)
[00:19] <ikonia> kregg: stable
[00:19] <kitche> kregg: stable as in what?
[00:19] <kdubois> kregg: the default installation is stable
[00:19] <arooni> is there anyway of batch transforming 15 4000x3000 images into 640x480 or 1280x1024 images ?  i hate doing this manually
[00:19] <meoblast001> kregg: idk but i can tell you it acts funny on some video cards
[00:19] <ikonia> kregg: its a stable release
[00:19] <kregg> yes that what i mean
[00:19] <kregg> thanks
[00:19] <inciner9> kregg: Hasn't crashed yet for me, and I've been running it since launch.
[00:19] <ikonia> arooni: I'm sure you could script it with image magic
[00:19] <kregg> i have intel onboard chipset graphics
[00:19] <kregg> it's not that it acts extremely funny
[00:19] <ikonia> kregg: I'm using it, I do have bugs with it, but that doesn't mean it's not stable
[00:19] <kdubois> kregg: if its an intel 965, that driver has problemo's....
[00:19] <mats_> Anyone know? I have a creative audigy 4 and my microphone is unmuted in alsa mixer, but still no sound...
[00:19] <dury> someone has installed "hjb3_0-linux.sfx" that's hotjava browser
[00:20] <ikonia> dury: do you have a problem with it ?
[00:20] <dury> yeah
[00:20] <ikonia> dury: do you want to share them
[00:20] <kdubois> mats_: go ask in #alsa for better results
[00:20] <kregg> but i have noticed that, for example when I leave the comp for 15 mins and come back, i can't resume my session i.e. i am forced to push the reset button on my pc
[00:20] <mats_> Thanks!
[00:20] <dury> yeah why not
[00:20] <kitche> kregg: well with intel chips compiz-fusion won't work that great anyways
[00:20] <ikonia> kregg: suspend is causing a lot of problems in general
[00:20] <Kl4m> Can I tell mkswap to do a write test (not read only as in mkswap -c) or to use a list from badblocks?
[00:20] <dury> ikonia: of course
[00:21] <kregg> suspend?
[00:21] <kregg> even in previous versions?
[00:21] <kregg> i mean i still have my dapper with me
[00:21] <kitche> kregg: it could be the driver you usign as well if you use the intel driver since it crashes all the time on certain chipsets
[00:21] <kregg> well it doesn't crash all the time
[00:21] <ikonia> kregg: suspend with desktop effects etc, has been known to cause issues
[00:21] <Clay_The_Arc> ikonia, Please give me some help on setting up Squid there is like no guides to it on Google.
[00:22] <kregg> it crashes quite randomly
[00:22] <kregg> but at least once a day
[00:22] <kregg> it would be like I'll be playing Nexuiz on my pc
[00:22] <bluejay> 흑
[00:22] <kregg> and then i go back and everthing seems really laggy and horrible
[00:23] <PriitM_> Hi! Is there any program with what I could take video of my screen? Thank you
[00:23] <kregg> If i tell you my motherboard name, could you determine what chipset it is (if it is this imfamous p965 one)?
[00:23] <ikonia> kregg: just use lcpci
[00:23] <ikonia> kregg: see what intel video card pops up
[00:23] <bluejay> PriitM_// gtk-RecordMyDesktop
[00:23] <PriitM_> bluejay, thank you very much
[00:23] <kregg> i'm in windows right now... :(
[00:23] <jacob> what's the channel for C++?
[00:23] <bluejay> PriitM_// np :)
[00:23] <ikonia> jacob: #c++
[00:24] <crdlb> jacob: ##c++
[00:24] <am_> um, can someone else help me with my dual booting problems? sethk seems to be busy
[00:24] <Clay_The_Arc> ikonia,  is TOR  the same as Squid?
[00:24] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: nothing like it
[00:24] <Clay_The_Arc> Mkay
[00:24] <kregg> so my best bet really is to abandon compiz then?
[00:24] <ipiz> What can cause this: When you login to a ubuntu server, through putty (ssh port:22), executing commands kinda lags?
[00:24] <Clay_The_Arc> ugh ;|, there's nothing on google on configuration ofit
[00:25] <ikonia> ipiz: network lag ?
[00:25] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: there are many things
[00:25] <Clay_The_Arc> im on google
[00:25] <PriceChild> ipiz, bad connection?
[00:25] <Clay_The_Arc> and every result
[00:25] <Clay_The_Arc> is just ppl saying they've isntalled it
[00:25] <Clay_The_Arc> not how
[00:25] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: I apologise but I'm through helping you as I was walking you through it step by step and you continued to do your own thing and ignore what I was saying
[00:26] <Clay_The_Arc> I didn't ignore what you were saying.
[00:26] <realityiswhere> Clay_The_Arc: I just did a google search for Squid Setup, first search result comes up as a walkthrough...
[00:26] <PriceChild> Clay_The_Arc, there is a good howto by jdong on ubuntuforums.org if you look there.
[00:26] <ikonia> ipiz: is it any specific commands, or just in general
[00:26] <Clay_The_Arc> realityiswhere, are you serious
[00:26] <am_>  can someone else help me with my dual booting problems? sethk seems to be busy
[00:26] <ikonia> am_: what are the problems
[00:26] <Clay_The_Arc> :| i searched "how to configure squid on ubuntu 7.10" nothing :|
[00:26] <Nvrnight> Anyone know where I can find instructions on how to compile a non-standard file on ubuntu?
[00:26] <realityiswhere> Clay_The_Arc: you're being to specific.
[00:26] <ikonia> Nvrnight: non-standard file ?
[00:26] <kitche> Clay_The_Arc: just look up how to configure squid since it pretty much the same
[00:27] <am_> ikonia: i tried to install GAG, but first off its not graphical when i boot up, secondly the 4th thing it shows, Vista/Longhorn (Loader), doesnt load anything
[00:27] <Clay_The_Arc> ah
[00:27] <Clay_The_Arc> mkay
[00:27] <Nvrnight> it says I need to use configure or something like that, sorry I'm a bit new to this stuff
[00:27] <ikonia> Nvrnight: what are you trying to install ?
[00:27] <ikonia> !info gag
[00:27] <am_> ikonia: so i need Vista to be working, i dont really care if its graphical, it was working before...
[00:27] <ubotu> Package gag does not exist in gutsy
[00:27] <Nvrnight> a bin.tgz file
[00:27] <kregg> well thanks for your help
[00:27] <ikonia> am_: gag ?
[00:27] <ipiz> ikonia Possibly, if the ubuntu server is downloading a massive file, would that slow the "execute command lag" down?
[00:27] <kregg> and another thing
[00:27] <ikonia> Nvrnight: which one ?
[00:27] <ikonia> ipiz: yes
[00:28] <Nvrnight> klassmodeler-0.8.bin.tgz
[00:28] <ikonia> ipiz: your network "throughput" would be less
[00:28] <kregg> on my laptop
[00:28] <ipiz> PriceChild Don't think so, but thanks for trying..
[00:28] <am_> ikonia: i think that was it, it was a graphical boot manager
[00:28] <am_> ikonia: i did a google search, and it seemed to be the one people used
[00:28] <ikonia> am_: I don't think gag is anything to do with ubuntu, I can't find any information on it (I'm searching)
[00:28] <ipiz> ikonia and "throughput" is the amount of data that goes through the pipe for a period of time, correct?
[00:28] <am_> ikonia: maybe it was GRUB?
[00:29] <kregg> using vista, I can get the wireless to work fine - it came built in with it. I use the ubuntu live disc (version Gutsy Gibbon) and it doesn't recognise it!
[00:29] <ikonia> ipiz: yes, if you can say type 10 commands at once, then say the download is 8 commands worth, you can only use 2 commands at a time (as a very easy example)
[00:29] <ikonia> am_: ahh grub
[00:29] <am_> ikonia: i dont remember, one or the other...seth told me to get my something.lst, so i have it on my pastebin
[00:29] <ikonia> am_: menu.lst
[00:29] <ikonia> am_: when you boot your machine, what do you see ?
[00:29] <am_> ikonia: yes...its here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48490/
[00:30] <kregg> sorry to be a nag but can anyone help with my laptop situation
[00:30] <ikonia> am_: ok, so what do you see when you boot
[00:30] <meoblast001> does anyone know how to use pidgin-rhythmbox after installing it?
[00:30] <am_> ikonia: i see the opening thing, the white on black words, the first 3 being working Ubuntu boots, the fourth says Vista/Longhorn (Loader)
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi | kregg
[00:30] <Clay_The_Arc> what's the "Squid Dir"
[00:30] <Clay_The_Arc> :|
[00:30] <ubotu> kregg: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:30] <ikonia> kregg: what situation
[00:30] <ipiz> ikonia Alright, what if it's _not_ the download? What else could it be?
[00:30] <am_> ikonia: the fourth one just restarts that menu
[00:30] <ikonia> am_: what happens when you select xp
[00:30] <ikonia> am_: no error ?
[00:30] <Clay_The_Arc> o
[00:30] <kregg> using vista, I can get the wireless to work fine - it came built in with it. I use the ubuntu live disc (version Gutsy Gibbon) and it doesn't recognise it!
[00:30] <am_> ikonia: its vista, and nothing happens at all
[00:30] <Clay_The_Arc> didn't see the squid folder
[00:30] <Clay_The_Arc> nvm that
[00:31] <kregg> use !wifi command?
[00:31] <realityiswhere> kregg: What's your wireless chipset?
[00:31] <IndyGunFreak> kregg: having trouble w/ wireless on the live disks is pretty common.
[00:31] <kregg> oh god
[00:31] <IndyGunFreak> !wifi | kregg
[00:31] <ubotu> kregg: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:31] <ikonia> am_: try changing the hd(0,2) to hd(0,1) in the menu.lst file
[00:31] <kregg> thanks ubotu
[00:31] <ikonia> am_: I'm only guessing at your partition layout
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> kregg: No... read the help file...
[00:31] <kregg> help file?
[00:31] <Zeddie> I really must find out why ctrl-alt-f1  gives me a black screen in x
[00:31] <IndyGunFreak> !yourwelcome | kregg
[00:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yourwelcome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:31] <kregg> you mean the man pages?
[00:31] <Zeddie> I want bloody console :(
[00:32] <ipiz> ikonia I understand about "Throughput", but wouldn't it have less "bandwdith" or wouldn't "bandwidth" have a key role on this?
[00:32] <am_> ikonia: ok, but also i guessed on the sda3, im not really sure how to check but it had sounded farmiliar
[00:32] <Clay_The_Arc> ikonia, what editor opens .conf files?
[00:32] <ikonia> ipiz: bandwidth is not th key issue, but your right in general, your network card can only do so much at once
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> kregg: !wifi brought up the help pages.. not a man page..
[00:32] <kregg> realityiswhere: I really don't have a clue what chipset it is
[00:32] <ipiz> Clay_The_Arc any. nano / vi / gedit etc.
[00:32] <ikonia> Clay_The_Arc: please ask the channel, I've explained my situation to you
[00:32] <Clay_The_Arc> k
[00:32] <kregg> realityiswhere: it came with the laptop
[00:33] <Erealz> hey everyone I need to know if vnc is a good viable solution for helping out my sister with problems from home ? please contact me direct
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> kregg:   click this link...   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:33] <Zeddie> kregg : well you'll need to find out the chipset
[00:33] <Slart> Erealz: if she has an internet-connection faster than a modem.. then yes
[00:34] <kregg> Zeddie: ok then once I find the chipsets then I will come back with more luck
[00:34] <kregg> thanks guys
[00:34] <kregg> bye
[00:34] <Zeddie> kregg: the wireless command line commands start with iw
[00:34] <Clay_The_Arc> any1 else here help me with configuring squid? :|
[00:34] <ipiz> ikonia Since the connection speed is determined by how "fat" the pipe is, which carries voices+data, if you were to download a massive kickas_s_ file, would that leave you with a tiny pipe out of the "fat" pipe due to downloading, therefore bottleneck occurs?
[00:34] <kregg> iw? thanks for that
[00:34] <Erealz> is vnc installed by defoult ?
[00:34] <ikonia> erisco: I don't think working with a desktop is a good solution for remote support, unless you really really need it
[00:34] <Slart> Erealz: you can check out freenx too.. I think it might be better if the connection is slow
[00:34] <ikonia> Erealz: no, its not by default
[00:34] <ipiz> ikonia s/would/wouldn't
[00:34] <am_> ikonia: it doesnt seem to let me save it?
[00:34] <ikonia> ipiz: ye
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> kregg:   lspci   may also be useful
[00:34] <mushy> :-*
[00:34] <ikonia> ipiz: yes
[00:34] <damaltor> hello everyboda. is there anybody here who can help me with scsi problems in ubuntu? i have got an scsi streamer and an scsi cd-rw drive. both work good in any live distri i tested (Damnsmall, knoppix,...) but none of them is found with an installes xubuntu system.

[00:35] <ipiz> ikonia therefore bottleneck creates problem.
[00:35] <mushy> A/S/L
[00:35] <ikonia> am_: can you please login to ubuntu and put the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" in a pastebin please.

[00:36] <ikonia> mushy: this is a support channel only for the ubuntu OS, and it is gonverned by the ubuntu code oc conduct
[00:36] <ipiz> ikonia so, basically .. bandwidth plays a role on this.
[00:36] <ikonia> !coc > mushy

[00:38] <damaltor> hello everybody. is there anybody here who can help me with scsi problems in ubuntu? i have got an scsi streamer and an scsi cd-rw drive. both work good in any live distri i tested (Damnsmall, knoppix,...) but none of them is found with an installes xubuntu system.
[00:39] <Erealz> I just did sudo aptget install vnc and nothing
[00:39] <tom___> has anyone had any luck getting a geforce fx5700LE TV-out working? I've been at it for ages. I get cat it to work, but not with the nvidia drivers, which are required for mplayer...
[00:39] <Erealz> sup with that
[00:39] <mushy> this channel use to be alot more friendly before we got the nazis of the ubuntu coc!!!
[00:39] <ikonia> Erealz: the package is not called vnc
[00:39] <erisco> I hate external media! GAH!! Last boot my CD was mounting FINE. Now Ubuntu doesn't recognize the disk's existence! It will not mount whatsoever... it still mounts fine on windows though. What GIVES?
[00:39] <Erealz> is vnc not supoorted by ubuntu anymore
[00:39] <ikonia> Erealz: yes it is
[00:39] <ikonia> Erealz: it is in the ubuntu repo's
[00:39] <Erealz> what it called now
[00:39] <Slart> !info vnc-server
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Erealz:  sudo apt-get ....
[00:39] <ipiz> ikonia Does "putty" has any similar options like "lowering the quality on vnc" ?
[00:39] <ubotu> Package vnc-server does not exist in gutsy
[00:39] <Erealz> if not vnc
[00:40] <ikonia> Erealz: search the repo's thre are many vnc packages
[00:40] <ikonia> ipiz: no, putty is a text emulator client only
[00:40] <Slart> !info vncserver
[00:40] <Synx_hm> Anyone use twinview?  I've got it working however i only have the taskbar/menubar on the right screen
[00:40] <Erealz> why isn't supported anymore
[00:40] <ipiz> ikonia How about the bits?
[00:40] <ikonia> Erealz: it IS
[00:40] <ikonia> ipiz: bits ?
[00:40] <Slart> Erealz: they separated the client and server parts.. vncserver is the server
[00:40] <ubotu> vncserver: Virtual network computing server software. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3.7-14ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 544 kB, installed size 1252 kB
[00:40] <ikonia> Synx_hm: I think you need "span" option in tinview
[00:40] <ipiz> ikonia compressed bits or something, don't remember.
[00:40] <ikonia> ipiz: not really worth it
[00:41] <damaltor> hello everybody. is there anybody here who can help me with scsi problems in ubuntu? i have got an scsi streamer and an scsi cd-rw drive. both work good in any live distri i tested (Damnsmall, knoppix,...) but none of them is found with an installed xubuntu system.
[00:41] <Synx_hm> ikonia: thanks im looking into the xorg.conf right now
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Erealz: If you typed   sudo aptget install vnc    I am not surprised you got nothing
[00:41] <ikonia> Synx_hm: I'm working from memory but its "desktop span" mode someting like option desktop span
[00:41] <ipiz> ikonia Thanks for the help.
[00:41] <ikonia> Synx_hm: but thats from memory

[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Clay_The_Arc: I know nothing...
[00:41] <tom___> Is anyone using a geforce fx5700le with tv out?

[00:43] <erisco> ikonia, I have had these random problems in the past... I'd be great if I could learn a bit and fix em
[00:43] <Slart> Erealz: go with vncserver
[00:44] <Erealz> k
[00:44] <ikonia> am_: it needs to be either hd(0,2) or hd(0,3)
[00:44] <Kano> (hd0,2)
[00:44] <Kano> is grub syntax
[00:44] <Erealz> how do I connect to my sister box what client do I use
[00:44] <ikonia> Kano: what ?
[00:44] <Xacarith> easy one, how do you stop the X server
[00:44] <am_> ikonia: it was on hd(0,2) if i remember right, so 0,3 would be right then?
[00:44] <Erealz> I don't see one
[00:44] <ikonia> am_: I assume so, as you only have two ntfs partitions
[00:44] <Kano> hm wrong,sorry
[00:44] <ikonia> am_: one must be your windows one
[00:45] <am_> ikonia: yea i kinda messed up on my partitioning'

[00:49] <MikeH> Well, screen goes blank, is there something else controlling screensaver/power saving?
[00:49] <Xacarith> Slart Yes, it says it's stopping  it but doesn't.  And I don't need it restarted I need it stopped for the installation of nvidia drivers.  Unless some one knows how to use twinview with the linux drivers.
[00:49] <ikonia> casdio: what are you trying to do ?
[00:49] <casdio> what's his?
[00:49] <ikonia> casdio: install a kernel ?
[00:49] <Erealz> ok well since I have the client apperntly to log into my sister box but what server should she install
[00:49] <casdio> ikonia: instal alsa drives
[00:49] <Slart> Xacarith: hmm.. pkill gdm then.. or rather sudp pkill gdm
[00:49] <Yutlin> Hey all, I'm working on getting a diskless Ubuntu system to network boot.  I've followed the guide online and the system now gets an IP and begins booting the provided kernel.  The problem is, during boot I get a kernel panic with the error message:  "Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf".  I've configured /tmp to be type tmpfs in fstab but there seems to be some problem.  Any suggestions?
[00:49] <gnomy> hey
[00:50] <Ganjistus> meowagi, the cat from mr. miagi
[00:50] <ikonia> casdio: alsa is already installed on ubuntu installs
[00:50] <Xacarith> realityiswhere I'm trying to install the dirvers downloaded from NVidia so I can use twinview
[00:50] <erisco> ikonia, I have had these random problems in the past... I'd be great if I could learn a bit and fix em

[00:50] <Erealz> ok well since I have the client apperntly to log into my sister box but what server should she install
[00:50] <ikonia> gnomy: different cards/setups work with different levels of ease and effect
[00:50] <gnomy> nvidia door
[00:50] <Slart> Ganjistus: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[00:50] <erisco> ikonia, you were talking about seeing if hal was running...
[00:50] <doorknob60> u dont got a video card?
[00:50] <kyle_> what does sound juicer do? is it a cd audio player?
[00:50] <doorknob60> oh ok
[00:50] <ikonia> Erealz: stop asking every 5 seconds

[00:51] <Ganjistus> yeah the ganjaproprietary driver
[00:51] <kyle_> ah
[00:51] <Xacarith> I've always had to sacrifice destop effects though as linux doesn't like nvidia's drivers as much as their own
[00:51] <gnomy> door im messaging you
[00:51] <doorknob60> k
[00:52] <Erealz> hey those anyone know what the best vncserver to install couse their like 3 of em the repo?
[00:52] <ikonia> Erealz: stop asking every 5 seconds
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !best
[00:52] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[00:52] <Slart> Erealz: want me to cut and paste our conversation from 5 minutes ago?
[00:52] <Erealz> I don't care
[00:52] <rsfriends> do somebody have a good idea how i can fix my mic

[00:53] <am_> if thats not enough ill go back...

[00:54] <Erealz> you think?....
[00:54] <ikonia> am_: I've just said less than 5 seconds ago, "something" doesn't help, I need exact error messages
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, no error
[00:54] <am_> ikonia: ok ill be back
[00:54] <Dr_willis> Erealz,  i use vnc4server it seems to work best for me
[00:54] <ikonia> erisco: does it do anything ?
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, well look at that... I took the disk out, popped it back in
[00:54] <gnomy> door how you make your screens work ?
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, loaded up fine
[00:54] <ikonia> erisco: excellent
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, but that isn't good... it is inconsistent
[00:54] <erisco> ikonia, a second ago it wasn't working whatsoever
[00:54] <ikonia> erisco: sounds like your drive may have a few bugs in it or be on the way out
[00:55] <doorknob60> i just set it up using "sudo nvidia-settings"
[00:55] <Erealz> what the differences between the other is their more advantages that the other server don't offer or are they all the same
[00:55] <erisco> ikonia, flaky cdrom drive is all I can think of
[00:55] <gnomy> that dont work for me
[00:55] <ikonia> erisco: sounds really
[00:55] <doorknob60> does it detect both monitors?
[00:55] <Ganjistus> crap
[00:55] <ikonia> Erealz: it's personal preference, install and try them, see what you think and what you like
[00:55] <Erealz> basically  that what im getting at
[00:55] <erisco> ikonia, luckily I don't use it often
[00:55] <gnomy> ya detects both
[00:55] <Ganjistus> i need a new driver and compiz fusion won't stop
[00:55] <Ganjistus> i don't know why
[00:55] <doorknob60> what doesnt work about it?
[00:56] <ikonia> Erealz: give them a go, see what you think, you can easy remove/change them
[00:56] <Ganjistus> i have to play sauerbraten
[00:56] <gnomy> tells me it cant update
[00:56] <gnomy> it says i dont have x screen
[00:56] <Slart> Erealz: the different servers are basically the same.. some flavours offer some extra features.. but they are all compatible.. if you want the best experience match the client with the server
[00:56] <Ganjistus> because i need to kill some bananas
[00:56] <doorknob60> what can't update?
[00:56] <gnomy> the nvidia settings
[00:56] <Dr_willis> Erealz,  ive had issues with the otehrs in the past.. vnc4server seems to work best from what ive tried.
[00:56] <Erealz> yea but I don't wana waste time with a sucky server if they just plainly suck you know
[00:56] <doorknob60> ya but what does it say that it can't update?
[00:56] <Clay_The_Arc> any1 have the link to thar guide on ubuntuforums for configuring squid?
[00:56] <Erealz> cool
[00:57] <am_> ikonia: invalid device requested, error 12
[00:57] <Erealz> do they all have the same option
[00:57] <Wing> I'm using ubuntu x64 and some of my software needs the 32bit libgtk1.2
[00:57] <Yutlin> Anyone have any insight on a "Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf" error message during PXE boot?
[00:57] <gnomy> door what exactly where your settings ?
[00:57] <gnomy> twin or x veiw ?
[00:57] <Erealz> nothing special about from one to another right
[00:57] <Dr_willis> Erealz, Theya re basicially the same. ive had bugs imn the other ones.. vnc4server works best fromw hat ive seen
[00:57] <ikonia> Yutlin: the error is pretty spelt out
[00:57] <ikonia> Erealz: try them
[00:57] <doorknob60> twin
[00:57] <Erealz> k
[00:57] <Erealz> ill go with vnc4server

[00:58] <gnomy> Would you like to remove this MetaMode?
[00:58] <Slart> Clay_The_Arc: tried google? this was on the first page of hits... http://hwasungmars.wordpress.com/2006/09/02/installing-squid/
[00:58] <gnomy> i get that erroe essage
[00:58] <gnomy> when i enable it
[00:58] <doorknob60> u sure u opened with sudo?
[00:58] <Erealz> now I just have something to say about the new 7.10
[00:58] <Erealz> it bugy right
[00:58] <am_> ikonia: invalid device requested, error 12
[00:58] <ikonia> Erealz: no
[00:58] <ikonia> am_: have you read the grub guide ?
[00:59] <ikonia> !grub >am_
[00:59] <ipiz> Erealz new? It's 2-3 months old.
[00:59] <ikonia> am_: check the output from ubotu in a pm
[00:59] <Erealz> first thing iv notice no splashscreen
[00:59] <gnomy> ya door
[00:59] <gnomy> same error message
[00:59] <Erealz> also amd64bit user have no sound in flash
[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Erealz: This is a help channel...   not a discussion room
[01:00] <gnomy> when i click the apply button
[01:00] <am_> !grub
[01:00] <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
[01:00] <ikonia> Erealz: well as there is no 64bit flash player thats going to be true of all 64bit distros
[01:00] <doorknob60> hmm idk
[01:00] <Slart> Clay_The_Arc: here's another one.. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/squid.html
[01:00] <doorknob60> i dont think i ever got that error
[01:00] <Dr_willis> Erealz,  first thing i do is DISABLE the splash stuff. :)
[01:00] <ipiz> Anyone knows How do I change the MSN Screen-name on FINCH?
[01:00] <Erealz> so they got rid of the splash screen at startup rightup
[01:01] <ikonia> Erealz: no
[01:01] <gnomy> door  what does the eorr say ?
[01:01] <ushimitsudoki> My sound stopped working in 7.10 (amd64). The start-up noise plays at the logon screen, but I can't get any sound happening after that. I -think- it broke after installing the wrappers for flash, but I am not sure about that. Any pointers on how to troubleshoot this?
[01:01] <am_> ikonia: huh? i dont know what u mean
[01:01] <gnomy> i dont under stand it ?
[01:01] <brophat> does ubuntu have a link that explains the size of partitions to make such as / and /home
[01:01] <Erealz> weird
[01:01] <Erealz> I got no splash screen on my box
[01:01] <brophat> or does someone know the sizes and types
[01:01] <doorknob60> idk what it means what was it again?
[01:01] <Erealz> and my cuzin 64bit box
[01:01] <Slart> brophat: it depends on what you're going to do with the computer
[01:01] <Dr_willis> brophat,  a lot depends on your needs.
[01:01] <gnomy> rb
[01:01] <Erealz> no splash ether
[01:01] <gnomy> brb
[01:01] <doorknob60> k
[01:01] <brophat> yeah just basic home user
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: and how much room you have to work with
[01:01] <Erealz> I would say that's a bug
[01:01] <brophat> I have 200 gios
[01:01] <brophat> 200 gigs
[01:02] <gstory> Has anyone else had an issue with some videos being in b/w?
[01:02] <Dr_willis> brophat,  id say 50 for / is plenty then. :)
[01:02] <Slart> brophat: I'd go with .. oh.. 10 GB for / and the rest for /home..
[01:02] <Erealz> yea I have had videos issues
[01:02] <Dr_willis> unless you use a lot of vmware images like i do.
[01:02] <Slart> brophat: as you see.. it differs a lot =)..
[01:02] <brophat> ok so just / and /home
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: make several ext3 partitions...
[01:02] <Clay_The_Arc> i have a 4gb hd total lol ;)
[01:02] <tom___> has anyone had any luck getting a geforce fx5700LE TV-out working? I've been at it for ages. I get cat it to work, but not with the nvidia drivers, which are required for mplayer...
[01:02] <gstory> I noticed it with a dvd first but I am watching a Frontline video online and have the same issue.  Cranygeeks does not have this problem.
[01:02] <am_> ikonia: i dont understand, sorry
[01:03] <Erealz> sometimes when startup when I get into the loginscreen the video is dimmed or just looking discomboulated !?!?!
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: You never know when you may need another..   I have /  root    /home...  /var   and two spares plus swap
[01:03] <brophat> I have two hd so doen't that mean the two hd have to be on different partitions?
[01:03] <gstory> I get a white bar sometimes but that does not bug me.
[01:03] <Geekomancer1> Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone is having problems with Rythmbox getting podcasts?
[01:03] <Slart> brophat: for a simple home desktop machine I'd say one partition for / and one for /home.. for a serious machine I'd go with separate partitions for /var and /usr too
[01:03] <madman91> hey guys
[01:03] <Erealz> is their a ubuntu like bug report room?
[01:03] <gnomy> ha
[01:03] <brophat> ok thanks
[01:03] <Erealz> I think they should know I found sum bugs
[01:04] <madman91> I deleted a truecrypt volume.. but I am not regaining the lost space
[01:04] <gnomy> i have 2 screens again !!!
[01:04] <mats_> how to install programs that come in tar.gz format?
[01:04] <Slart> madman91: did you empty the trash?
[01:04] <gnomy> the second screen moves though
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: YEs I would suggest you not try to combine them raid them ..
[01:04] <wasme> mats_: is it a binary or source?
[01:04] <ipiz> mats_ you first need to extract it by using : tar -zxvf
[01:04] <madman91> Slart: I deleted.. and showed hidden folders.. deleted those as well.. its on a usb
[01:04] <brophat> if i have two hd, then how could i have just two partitions / and /home ?
[01:04] <damaltor> hello everybody. is there anybody here who can help me with scsi problems in ubuntu? i have got an scsi streamer and an scsi cd-rw drive. both work good in any live distri i tested (Damnsmall, knoppix,...) but none of them is found with an installed xubuntu system.
[01:04] <Erealz> is their a ubuntu-bug room
[01:05] <mats_> ipiz: Yeah, I extract with archive manager, but how to install afterwards?
[01:05] <mats_> wasme: How to check?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: you still need a swap...  what size are your partitions?
[01:05] <ipiz> mats_ Read the INSTALL or README that came with it.
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: drives
[01:05] <Pelo> brophat, waste of space,  you only need 5-10 gig to run / on , and only 2x ram for /swap,
[01:05] <killyou> hi i have some problems with nvidia driver my kernel is "generic" this is normal?
[01:05] <Slart> madman91: how do you check how much space is left?
[01:05] <mats_> ipiz: Oh, right
[01:05] <ipiz> brophat / and /home on different HD? ..
[01:05] <asdfghj> -
[01:05] <Pelo> ipiz, that's not a problem
[01:06] <ipiz> sladen df -h
[01:06] <hunor> hia ll
[01:06] <brophat> ipiz that would make / 80 gigs
[01:06] <Slart> Erealz: I don't think so.. there's a bugtracker I think
[01:06] <madman91> Slart: df and nautilus
[01:06] <asdfghj> ---
[01:06] <ipiz> maddler df -h for human readable unit.
[01:06] <Slart> madman91: hmm.. ls -l shows the usb-stick to be empty?
[01:06] <brophat> I guess I am not understanding hahaha
[01:06] <gnomy> what is V
[01:06] <Slart> killyou: yes.. generic is normal
[01:06] <killyou> !kernel
[01:06] <ubotu> The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[01:06] <gnomy> what is  XRandR X

[01:07] <brophat> so if I have two hd then I could not have just / ??
[01:07] <killyou> sladen,  i have to install another ?
[01:07] <Pelo> brophat,  I have 2 hdd also , hdd 1 is 10 gig for windows , the rest for a download folder (70 gig ) ,  hdd2  10 gig / , 2 gig /swap and 60 gig for /home
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: how big is your hda   or sda ?
[01:07] <ipiz> brophat give 15GB to root partition, 2GB to swap and the rest to /home.
[01:07] <madman91> Slart: no, there are 4 folders
[01:07] <madman91> Slart: let me cut .. h/o
[01:07] <Slart> madman91: pastebin
[01:07] <Erealz> I need to know how exactly to file a good bug report I have a launchpad account but I know how to go about getting the logs and stuff they require? I wana make sure I doing it right so they can fix these problems
[01:07] <madman91> Slart: I'm cutting the folders off
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat:  FYI  you can trust Pelo to give good info...
[01:07] <madman91> then I'll try formatting Slart
[01:08] <Pelo> Erealz,  the logs are in /var/log
[01:08] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  stop spreading lies about me
[01:08] <Erealz> errros and all that go their?
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[01:08] <Pelo> Erealz, they should
[01:08] <Erealz> lol
[01:08] <Slart> madman91: that really ought to work.. just deleting it should work too.. but it seems it didn
[01:08] <brophat> is it true that if you have two hd and want to use them both up for ubuntu, then you can't do it with just one / partition?
[01:08] <Yutlin> Can anyone tell me how to find the name of the module for my NIC so I can add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
[01:08] <Erealz> k well is their a how to on correctly fileing a  report?
[01:08] <Slart> brophat: nope. I have 5 drives and just one for /
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: true...  other than lvm etc
[01:09] <Pelo> brophat, you can'gt run linux with just one partiton, you need a partition for swap , but yes you can have a partition over two hdd
[01:09] <Markyb86> no its not true, you only need one /
[01:09] <brophat> Slart that means that you / spans over two hd how is that possible?
[01:09] <am_> ikonia: i had vista preinstalled, then i installed ubuntu
[01:09] <doorknob60> Sysinfo for 'austin': Linux 2.6.22-14-generic running KDE 3.5.8, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU2.60GHz at 2590 MHz (5185 bogomips), , RAM: 1316/1511MB, 140 proc's, 5.6h up
[01:09] <Pelo> !raid | brophat
[01:09] <ubotu> brophat: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[01:09] <Markyb86> the other hdds can have whatever you want
[01:09] <brophat> Pelo please, you know what I mean
[01:09] <Slart> brophat: oh.. I mean.. you can't put / on more than one drive.. you can still use the other drives for files and stuff..
[01:09] <synx_> ikonia: its not a panning thing... i think its detecting my lcd's out of order, because the left lcd is dfp-1 and the right is dfp-0, but they are in proper order because when i boot the left is primary
[01:09] <madman91> Slart: yeah, odd
[01:09] <Erealz> so no tutorial on fileing a bugreport right?
[01:09] <brophat> Slart so then what is your other hd?
[01:09] <Pelo> brophat, I do know and I gave you a links for raid and lvm
[01:10] <Slart> brophat: or.. wait.. that's wrong too.. bah.. this is hard..
[01:10] <Slart> brophat: I have one drive for my.. home ripped movies.. one for .. ahem.. home ripped music.. etc =)
[01:10] <Pelo> Erealz, check on the launchpad site there should be a howto somewhere in there
[01:10] <brophat> I want to know cause when I partition my second hd I have to call it something but I can't call it / because that is already taken up
[01:10] <Yutlin> Can anyone tell me how to find the name of the module for my NIC (Atheros L1 PCI-E Gigabit LAN controllers) so I can add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
[01:11] <killyou> to play games and video works well i have to use another kernel? "generic" don't install
[01:11] <Erealz> iight I guess ill do that
[01:11] <wasme> brophat: the easiest way to do this is to use your smallest drive for swap and /, and use all of your larger drive for /home
[01:11] <Slart> killyou: no.. generic kernel is the normal one.. you don't have to install another
[01:11] <Pelo> brophat, / and everthing else is only the mount point partitons don'T have names
[01:11] <Erealz> oh just for the record I think 7.04 is more stable then 7.10
[01:11] <killyou> Slart,  but i can install nvdia driver
[01:11] <killyou> don't work
[01:11] <Pelo> Erealz, I agree with you
[01:12] <brophat> wasme that would make my / and swap 80 gigs hahaha
[01:12] <Erealz> im pretty sad about that
[01:12] <Slart> killyou: that's because of something else.. it's not because you're using the generic kernel
[01:12] <Slart> !nvidia | killyou
[01:12] <ubotu> killyou: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:12] <wasme> brophat: yes ... you could do something more complex like create a 3rd partition on your smallest drive and combine it with the single partition on your largest drive using something like RAID, but that's kind of complex for someone new to linux/unix
[01:12] <Slart> killyou: look at that url there.. follow those instructions
[01:12] <doorknob60> imo its easiest to install nvidia drivers with envy
[01:12] <killyou> Slart, ok
[01:12] <Erealz> thnx pelo I knew it wasn't just me
[01:12] <Pelo> Erealz, think of 7.10 as a step toward 8.04, I personnaly wasn'T that crazy about edgy 6.10
[01:12] <Slart> !envy
[01:12] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[01:13] <wasme> brophat: or you could create a third partition on the smallest drive and mount it to a subdirectory under /home and use it for, like, music or something. Depending on how much of whatever it is you have you want to put there.
[01:13] <brophat> wasme yeah it does sound complex, and i have been using linux for five years, not new to it
[01:13] <Erealz> yea in my opinion 7.10 is a beta release
[01:13] <ikonia> Erealz: then you are wrong
[01:13] <synx_> Is there any way to get the xorg.conf that ubuntu detected and installed with my system?
[01:13] <brophat> but I do understand what you have all said thanks
[01:14] <Erealz> I hate to say it like that but it almost as if they didn't do a better job at testing b4 the release
[01:14] <ikonia> Erealz: and the fact that you are unable to do the basics in ubuntu suggests your opinion is ill informed
[01:14] <Pelo> synx_, what is your video card ?
[01:14] <Slart> brophat: here's a good text about partitioning http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/requirements.html
[01:14] <brophat> i will prob do what one of you said, that is make my 80 gig just / and swap, and my 120 gig /home
[01:14] <Erealz> lol do basics
[01:14] <brophat> thanks Slart
[01:14] <Erealz> if you knew me then you wouldn't call me basic user
[01:14] <Erealz> you dumnshit
[01:14] <Erealz> lol
[01:14] <Erealz> really
[01:14] <Erealz> n00b
[01:15] <Pelo> brophat, I tink yo are wasting hdd space with 80 gig for / and swap but have fun
[01:15] <Slart> brophat: that text is a bit... over ambitious sometimes.. but it does explain a lot of the thinking behind it
[01:15] <Pelo> Erealz, please donT, do that
[01:15] <ikonia> Erealz: that language is uncalled for
[01:15] <Dr_willis> i have also found 7.10 very well done.. once you remove compiz :)
[01:15] <ikonia> Erealz: and calling me a noob is ill informed also
[01:15] <brophat> Pelo what are my options? just the raid solution?
[01:15] <am_> ikonia: im using GAG - Graphical Boot Manager
[01:15] <SpookyET> Is there a LVM solution for Ubuntu? I bit the bullet and installed Fedora 8, and I like some things.
[01:15] <am_> ikonia: http://gag.sourceforge.net/
[01:16] <Slart> !lvm | SpookyET
[01:16] <ubotu> SpookyET: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:16] <ikonia> am_: ubuntu does not support gag
[01:16] <Slart> SpookyET: yes, it's available for ubuntu
[01:16] <wasme> brophat: As I said, you could create a third parition and put it in a subdirectory under /home for stuff. Or you could just create a syslink from a directory in / to somewhere under /home
[01:16] <LinuxEzGer8> Hello ago
[01:16] <am_> ikonia: guess that would explain it lol
[01:16] <brophat> wasme yeah ok
[01:16] <am_> ikonia: any idea how to undo it?
[01:16] <LinuxEzGer8> I was on here earlier as Gre2 and was having video problems.  I updated to 7.10 and it seems I have my video drivers installed, but now I've hit another wall
[01:16] <ikonia> am_: no
[01:17] <Pelo> brophat, presonnaly,  I would make a seperate partition on your 80 gig hdd for /home and then make your 120 gig hdd one partiton for other stuff,  you can set the mount point for that partiton in your /home folder if you want,  use that part for game or video or downloads or what ever you want
[01:17] <madman91> Error: Unable to open /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 - unrecognised disk label.
[01:17] <Manad> hi
[01:17] <am_> ikonia: it wasnt working anyway, but now i cant boot into vista

[01:17] <gino> someone to helpme plis
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Did I help you with something?  HOw unlike me.

[01:17] <brophat> Pelo good idea
[01:17] <Kl4m> !ask

[01:17] <brophat> yeah I will call it something like pirate music hahah
[01:17] <am_> ikonia: i just mean to get my normal booter back working
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: Sorry it wont happen again.. se everyone tomorrow..
[01:18] <ikonia> am_: I can't support gag, I don't know how it works, so I don't know how to remove/undo it safley
[01:18] <brophat> Pelo I will call it My Documents
[01:18] <LinuxEzGer8> Flux, I think I have them installed, but I am not sure if the 3D are.  Is there a way I can check (such like Windows where I can go to a profile of some sort)?
[01:18] <am_> ikonia: oh ok, ill try to figure it out
[01:19] <gino> i compiled the kernel and make a kernel package with make-kpkg and now have a deb with 202mg huge!!!
[01:19] <gino> hlep me please
[01:19] <ikonia> gino: help with what ?
[01:19] <LinuxEzGer8> I'm very leary of just going for it and hoping for the best.  I'm on hour 15 of trying to get Linux up and running because I kept just trying stuff.
[01:19] <gino> is to bid the deb
[01:19] <brophat> yeah I understand now
[01:19] <ikonia> gino: that's how you've built your kernel
[01:19] <Pelo> gino, not many ppl in this channel have compiled their own kernel,  maybe you can get help on this in #debian or in ##linux
[01:20] <ikonia> gino: custom kernels are a specific to users needs, we can't support your kernel
[01:20] <smilodon> I want to have fun on the internet... or die trying!
[01:20] <Pelo> brophat,  you do understand how mountpoints work right ?
[01:20] <gino> ok
[01:20] <gino> thanx
[01:20] <gino> where i go??!
[01:20] <Pelo> gino,   just type  /join ##linux or /join #debian
[01:20] <gino> thanx
[01:20] <brophat> Pelo yes
[01:21] <Pelo> brophat, ok , just checking
[01:21] <brophat> ok haha
[01:21] <simplechat> hey, is slashdot down?
[01:21] <LinuxEzGer8> Linux Geniuses:  Is there a way I can see if my Nvidia 3d drivers are installed?  I know the regular drivers are (through Restricted Drivers Management), but I can't tell if the 3d ones are
[01:21] <Pelo> when is slashdot ever not down ?
[01:21] <brophat> Pelo you know what it is is that this stuff comes up so infrequent that it is hard to remember stuff that I once undertood like a year ago
[01:21] <ikonia> LinuxEzGer8: the restricted drivers manager ARE the 3d drivers
[01:22] <Pelo> LinuxEzGer8, there are no linux geniueses in here, only users like you
[01:22] <flamsmark> hey, i just tried a fresh install and grub is giving me error 15 at boot, any idea what i'm going wrong?
[01:22] <brophat> well I am off to install 7.10 thanks for that help
[01:22] <Xacarith> On my laptop, when I installed linux, I didn't have an internet connection handy.  Now synaptic is not able to connect to server....
[01:22] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: try running "glxgears"
[01:22] <Pelo> brophat, it's also difficult to evaluate the level of expertise of the ppl asking question, and even then , ppl are experts on some stuff and totaly useless with other things
[01:23] <ipiz> Xacarith tried apt-get update?
[01:23] <brophat> Pelo I totally understand
[01:23] <smilodon> I want to have fun on the internet... or die trying!
[01:23]  * Pelo is useless with permissions and rc levels , among other things 
[01:23] <ikonia> smilodon: you've said that 3 times now
[01:23] <ikonia> smilodon: please stop, this is a support channel for support requests, not idle statments
[01:23] <am_> ikonia: how do i install GRUB in the 'MBR'
[01:23] <Pelo> smilodon, take your laptop to a busy highway
[01:23] <amitprakash> oki.. i have lost my root password and i have no other users on the system.. is there a way to reset it
[01:23] <ikonia> !grub | am_
[01:23] <brophat> Pelo i have pockets of knowledge
[01:23] <ubotu> am_: 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
[01:23] <NullName> Hey my wireless usb adaptor doesn't support WEP or WAP with linux.  I configured the router to only allow my mac address, and I wrote a script that checks constantly for new ip address's connected to the network.  Am I somewhat safe?  I'm routing the majority of my network apps through a socks 5 proxy server using ssh.  ANy ideas on how I could secure myself?
[01:23] <ikonia> am_: read that link
[01:23] <am_> ikonia: ok
[01:23] <Geekomancer1> Is anyone having trouble getting full podcast downloads with Rythmbox?
[01:24] <Pelo> amitprakash,  your root password is the same you use to log in with as a users
[01:24] <Slart> amitprakash: you lost your root password? or your user password?
[01:24] <amitprakash> Slart, root
[01:24] <Durtro> Hello
[01:24] <amitprakash> Pelo, i am not using a user login
[01:24] <Slart> amitprakash: surely you're not running as root?
[01:24] <ipiz> amitprakash root doesn't have a password, it uses the same passsword as your user.
[01:25] <Slart> !root
[01:25] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:25] <amitprakash> Slart, yes i am :(
[01:25] <ricanelite> how can i get vlc to be used in Firefox?
[01:25] <Durtro> ok
[01:25] <Pelo> amitprakash,  there is no actual root in ubuntu ,  your user password that you use with sudo is what you hve
[01:25] <ipiz> amitprakash root doesn't have a password, it uses the same passsword as your user.
[01:25] <amitprakash> ipiz, i set it using udo passwd root and then i deleted the user
[01:25] <Synx_hm> Any twinview experts in here?
[01:25] <ipiz> ricanelite install the vlc-firefox-plugin
[01:25] <flamsmark> any chance of some help with getting a grub error 15?
[01:25] <ikonia> amitprakash: that was pretty silly
[01:25] <Pelo> ricanelite,  remove totem-mozilla and mozilla-mplayer
[01:25] <doorknob60> i use twinview...might be able to help
[01:25] <Pelo> flamsmark,  hold on
[01:25] <amitprakash> ikonia, i know :(
[01:25] <ricanelite> is vlc better to have?
[01:25] <Xacarith> e: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavalible)
[01:25] <ipiz> amitprakash that was a dumb move.
[01:25] <Xacarith> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:25] <Slart> amitprakash: well.. let's just look past the whole "running stuff as root is bad"-issue.. you're supposed to be able to reset it
[01:25] <flamsmark> pelo, yes sir
[01:26] <amitprakash> ikonia, more like i have lost access to both the users and the root
[01:26] <ipiz> Xacarith Do you have another synaptic running or perhaps update manager running?
[01:26] <ikonia> amitprakash: yes, I can understnad that
[01:26] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: What does glxgears do?
[01:26] <Slart> amitprakash: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html
[01:26] <Pelo> flamsmark, do you get as far as the menu ?
[01:26] <flamsmark> nope
[01:26] <ricanelite> is vlc better to have on firefox?
[01:26] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: shows you some pretty cogwheels.. and prints out a fps-numer
[01:26] <LinuxEzGer8> ah
[01:26] <LinuxEzGer8> cool
[01:26] <ipiz> ricanelite What's the point?
[01:26] <LinuxEzGer8> command?
[01:26] <Pelo> flamsmark,  did you mess areound with the boot order of your hdds ?
[01:27] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: ehh.. it's "glxgears"
[01:27] <ipiz> ricanelite What's the point? .. What is it, that your trying to achieve?
[01:27] <ricanelite> well to play videos and streaming audio on the sites
[01:27] <ladynikon> hey..
[01:27] <amitprakash> ikonia, Slart : i kinda like copied my / partition to another one and booted from that so all user permissions are messed up and ownedships have changed
[01:27] <ikonia> amitprakash: re-install
[01:27] <flamsmark> pelo, mess around?
[01:27] <amitprakash> ikonia, i copied so as to avoid a reinstall :)
[01:27] <Pelo> flamsmark,  change the boot order of your hdds
[01:27] <Slart> amitprakash: ikonia speaks the harsh truth here.. I'd reinstall too
[01:27] <Xacarith> Get the same on the lap top and not that I know of
[01:27] <ikonia> amitprakash: re-install, your system is a mess
[01:27] <flamsmark> pelo, since when?
[01:27] <ladynikon> will this work to as a launcher in ubuntu? "export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/ladynikon/.cedega2 && $CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux"
[01:27] <Pelo> flamsmark,  did you delete the /boot/grub/menu.lst file ?
[01:28] <Pelo> flamsmark,  since the last time you booted properly
[01:28] <flamsmark> pelo, this is just after an install
[01:28] <amitprakash> Slart, well i have a lot of packages on it.. and i cant reallydownload them all again
[01:28] <killyou> aff omg i don't what i do i can run any kind of video xvid dvid dvd
[01:28] <Pelo> flamsmark,  a fresh install ?
[01:28] <ipiz> amitprakash _again_ that was a dumb move.
[01:28] <amitprakash> more like i dont know what all i have on the system
[01:28] <flamsmark> pelo, absotively
[01:28] <hallow> any site that can help me installing ubuntu on a eeepc?
[01:28] <ikonia> amitprakash: you really should re-nstall and download them again, your system is a mess
[01:28] <LinuxEzGer8> Is 2200 fps good?
[01:28] <doorknob60> ya
[01:28] <amitprakash> ipiz, well it all began with a bad partiion
[01:28] <theZoMBiE> how can i change those windows.. in the 3d effect mode... when i drag one program to another i can see my other screens but how do i switch between them
[01:28] <rimtech> I got guitar hero III to run under wine, but the controller doesn't work... it's USB based and works fine under windows.... am I missing something?
[01:28] <amitprakash> ikonia, no other way around it?
[01:29] <Slart> amitprakash: well.. then get commercial help.. or buy lots of pizza for your local linux-geek =)
[01:29] <ikonia> rimtech: join #winehq, solid support in there
[01:29] <Xacarith> ipiz None should be
[01:29] <doorknob60> wine doesnt really like usb
[01:29] <ikonia> amitprakash: not without a lot of effort
[01:29] <Pelo>  flamsmark ,, boot the live cd , mount the hdd with ubuntu on i and browse to /boot/grub/ see if you find a file called menu.lst
[01:29] <theZoMBiE> panels or whatever..
[01:29] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart, how long do I let the gears turn?  Is there anything else they do?
[01:29] <fungos> Im having probelm with hitachi scsi hdd on boot... it hangs when trying to prepare sda from sg0 thing
[01:29] <amitprakash> ikonia, can u point me to something i can refer to and make that effort?
[01:29] <flamsmark> pelo, okay then, brb
[01:29] <ikonia> amitprakash: not really, its just a knowledge experience thing
[01:30] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: nope.. nothing more.. just that pretty image.. .. you got 2000 fps?.. that's  a bit low I think.. is it the same if you make the window bigger?

[01:34] <kbrooks> NullName, you say routed the majority of your apps thru ssh, but did you check to make sure DNS does not leak?
[01:34] <haymaker> can anyone give me an idea of what to look at to make a usb drive bootable and be able to boot and install Ubuntu from it?  I have a great laptop with no cd drive...
[01:34] <amitprakash> Slart, ikonia is it possible to find out what all do i have installed on this screwed up system?
[01:34] <NullName> kbrooks:  Its just me and my roomate on the network
[01:34] <MikeH> Pelo, No, it's basically a blank screensaver
[01:34] <Pelo> MikeH,  power saving feature
[01:34] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: where did you get sudo from? drop that
[01:34] <MikeH> Pelo, But adjusting screensaver settings
[01:34] <NullName> kbrooks: no ports are open
[01:34] <MikeH> Pelo, If it is, I can't find it
[01:35] <LinuxEzGer8> oh, oops.  Thought i had to do that before all commands
[01:35] <NullName> kbrooks: how do I check to see if my DNS is leaking?
[01:35] <Pelo> MikeH,  check the power savingmanagement stuff in  the prefs menu
[01:35] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Same result.  Nothing.
[01:35] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: nope.. just stuff that has to be run as root.. things that change computer configuration and such
[01:35] <MikeH> Pelo, set to Never by default.
[01:35] <kbrooks> NullName, an attacker can use your wireless network fast enough to skirt your mechanism and monitor what you are sending that is not encrypted
[01:36] <MikeH> But it's not putting the screen into power save mode anyway Pelo :o
[01:36] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: ahh.. no space between - and info.. glxgears -info | grep GL_VERSION
[01:36] <Fezzler> Is it possible to create a GNOME icon to launch a program normally run from the Terminal (ircssi)?
[01:36] <kbrooks> NullName, other than DNS, the MAC addresses are not encrypted. so i can fake your MAC address from  the monitor
[01:36] <wasme> Fezzler: yes
[01:37] <Pelo> MikeH, bios settings,  some have power saving options to turn off monitor signal
[01:37] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Wheels are spinning and it says "GL_VERSION = 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.19"
[01:37] <wasme> Fezzler: although I haven't done it for a while ... let me test it here ...
[01:37] <kbrooks> NullName, i am not saying you can solve that with encrypting your MAC address.
[01:37] <Fezzler> wasme:  Okay, you got me.  How?
[01:37] <flamsmark> pelo, having trouble using the rescue mode, going to make a livecd
[01:37] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: ok.. then you're using the binary driver.. and you've got 3d acceleration
[01:37] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Is that good?
[01:37] <MikeH> Pelo, Monitor signal isn't being turned off.
[01:38] <Pelo> MikeH,  then I don'T know
[01:38] <ovid> will ubuntu detect my raid from the install cd?
[01:38] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Forgive my ignorance.  Day two of my Linux adventure.
[01:38] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: well.. I would say so, yes
[01:38] <wasme> Fezzler: where are you trying to add it? to the panel?
[01:38] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: What would you attribute to the slow fps?  I have 2GB ram on a 5.2GHz dual
[01:38] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: nothing to forgive..we've all been new to this... 3d acceleration is what makes games and such go faster and look nicer
[01:38] <kbrooks> NullName, there are settings for each app that you might check to make sure its set to socks5 and that from a scan of your own computer, your app is not resolving externally
[01:39] <amitprakash> LinuxEzGer8, 5.2G?
[01:39] <Veljko> hi gyz! tryin' to install ubuntu 7.1, but install doesn't find my partitions... One drive, 5 partition setup, 3 ntfs, 1 ext3, 1 swap. All on WD 200gb. bote systems working, Windows bit unstable lately, linux bit slow lately. Any software that would find/solve problem? yeah... some errors found on partition table. THANX
[01:39] <kbrooks> NullName, i mean resolving DNS externally
[01:39] <Fezzler> wasme: I like the clean look of using just the Applications menu, but I could live with Desktop
[01:39] <cyrano> hi. i just installed gutsy 7.10 but nm-applet isnt showing wireless networks options. still i am connected to the internet
[01:39] <LinuxEzGer8> 2x2.8GHz.  Was told it runs about 5.2Ghz
[01:39] <cyrano> why?
[01:39] <cyrano> i need to choose another network than the one i am on
[01:39] <kbrooks> NullName, that is what i mean by a DNS leak
[01:39] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: that little program (glxgears) isn't a good program to see if your computer is fast or slow.. it doesn't really measure real world performance.. I get about 10000 fps with a NVIDIA 8800 GTX..
[01:40] <NullName> kbrooks: what do you mean "app is not resolving"??
[01:40] <ovid> will ubuntu detect my raid from the install cd?
[01:40] <kbrooks> NullName, i just corrected what i said
[01:40] <Pelo> ovid, possibly but no garrantie
[01:40] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Thanks for your help.  I'm hoping you can help get my sound working too.  :D
[01:40] <Pelo> ovid,  actualy no ,  you need to use the alt install cd and take a few extra steps
[01:40] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: let's give it a try.. what kind of soundcard do you have?
[01:40] <Pelo> !raid | ovid

[01:40] <foso> hey all, i have the tar.gz for avant window navigator but dont know what to do now, im a noob, can you help?
[01:40] <kbrooks> NullName, resolve means to turn a domain name into an IP address
[01:41] <kbrooks> NullName, via DNS
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> foso: well, 1... you shouldn't need to compile it, i'm pretty sure its in the repositories.
[01:41] <NullName> kbrooks:  I saw, sorry..but I thought that everything that I'm doing is through ssh which uses RSA encryption...I even recreate my keys with PGP

[01:45] <bobhugga> i just bought a new dual core amd x2.  it will be in on wednesday.  my question is right now i have an amd athlon xp and i just did a new fresh install of gutsy.  will i be able to simply plug the harddrive into the new board and have it work, or should i just reinstall it?
[01:45] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: I think I found something.  Mind checking it out and giving me your insight?
[01:45] <cyrano> wasme: and right click on nm-applet does not show enable wireless option
[01:45] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: sure
[01:45] <ikonia> !grub > fflamsmark

[01:46] <wasme> cyrano: ifconfig shows the wireless device?
[01:46] <LinuxEzGer8> A guy on the forum you linked said he used this and it detected his sound card (exact same one as mine) as a SoundBlaster 7.1 or something, but it works fine
[01:46] <Fezzler> wasme: Got it!  Cool!  Now, can I change the icon?
[01:46] <eboyjr> Thank you, Slart
[01:46] <ikonia> flamsmark: do you have /boot on a seperate partition
[01:46] <extrexm_> net
[01:46] <flamsmark> iknoia, isn't the syntax !grub | somebody ?
[01:47] <flamsmark> ikonia, yes i do
[01:47] <ikonia> flamsmark: no
[01:47] <ikonia> flamsmark: ahhhh
[01:47] <r3n0c> flamsmark, well it appears to load correctly from tty mode when i login, but when i type startx, or gdm, it doesn't load to X
[01:47] <wasme> Fezzler: right click and select 'Properties' ... then click on the icon box thingy
[01:47] <ikonia> flamsmark: your menu.lst should be on your /boot partition
[01:47] <ikonia> flamsmark: ahh you able to verify that
[01:47] <flamsmark> i'm looking on my /boot partiton
[01:47] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: I would not use that.. not unless you find someone that does use it and thinks it's good

[01:48] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: there will probably be drivers available sooner or later... or write nasty letters to creative and tell them you'll never touch another creative product if they don't fix this =)

[01:52] <bjbdrgn> Fyda: oh. perhaps that's why it's bugged out ever since i upgraded to gutsy
[01:52] <wasme> cyrano: ah, ok. Good to know if the issue ever comes up again. Thanks.
[01:52] <Fezzler> wasme: so Ubuntu recognizes them when plugged in.  But it was too hard.  I'll just launch with GNOME Icon
[01:52] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: In any case, are you trying to install Beryl? And if so, is there a reason you want to use it instead of Compiz (which ships with Gutsy)?
[01:52] <Pelo> flamsmark,  or ask in #grub but be vary patient
[01:52] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:53] <Fezzler> wasme: after the command do you think I can pass variables?
[01:53] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: you can see your version by running uname -a.. worst case.. you'll have to reinstall ubuntu.. but that's a very bad case
[01:53] <bjbdrgn> Fyda: i was using beryl, thought that was the more well-known fork
[01:53] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: Ahh, remember that the dist-upgrader in Ubuntu will disable all your 3rd party repos.
[01:53] <hallo> so what does this error mean: grub load error:15
[01:53] <foso> ok
[01:53] <doorknob60> now type ./configure
[01:53] <wasme> Fezzler: you could write a shell script to do something like that. I'm not the best person to ask about shell scripting.
[01:53] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: Well, I don't know if you've already heard, but Beryl's discontinued and all the work is going into Compiz and Compiz Fusion. Check in at #compiz-fusion if you have any more questions on this. :)

[01:56] <wasme> Fezzler: I *think* ther emight be one installed by default ... hmmm *looks for it*
[01:56] <Fyda> Fezzler: Right-click on the main menu icon and go to Edit Menu... and see if you can add a custom launcher that way.
[01:56] <r3n0c> anybody get their webcam to work? i tried installing easycam but it didn't work
[01:56] <Fyda> wasme: Yes, that'd be Alacarte I believe.
[01:56] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: well.. they warn you that only "experience users install this driver".. if you feel up to the task, go ahead
[01:56] <juano__> madman91: i suggest you see the preferences before converting... for bitrate, quality , etc
[01:56] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: I have you!
[01:56] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: :D
[01:56] <wasme> Fyda: ah, k, thanks
[01:56] <ovid> brophat: are you dualbooting?
[01:57] <brophat> ovid no
[01:57] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: I'm off to bed in about 10 minutes =)
[01:57] <wasme> Fezzler: do what fyda said ... then you can just drag and drop your new desktop icon into the menu
[01:57] <ovid> brophat: then i think you can use all available...whatever numbers default when it asks
[01:57] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: and I'm not sure I could guide you through it.. I've never used that driver
[01:57] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: So I have 10 minutes to try...  :D
[01:57] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: sure.. go ahead
[01:57] <Fezzler> wasme: Fyda:  I love Linux/Ubuntu.  Done!!
[01:58] <brophat> ovid sorry, I am also having a /home
[01:58] <LinuxEzGer8> Okay, so I've DLed it
[01:58] <Fezzler> Dragged and dropped
[01:58] <LinuxEzGer8> It's in a tar file.
[01:58] <flamsmark> okay, slightly different plan - can i install some of the server bits (and the kernel, preferably) from the desktop livecd?
[01:58] <brophat> i have / and /home, how big should / be?
[01:58] <LinuxEzGer8> I've extracted it to desktop
[01:59] <Fezzler> Is there a tv tuner card that works with Ubuntu?
[01:59] <bjbdrgn> flamsmark: not sure, but the kernel sort of has to be installed, right?
[01:59] <LinuxEzGer8> If I go into terminal, can I just do a "sh" on it?
[01:59] <flamsmark> well, a kernel
[01:59] <flamsmark> but not neccesarily the one i want, bjbdrgn
[02:00] <wasme> Fezzler: tv tuner cards are a little hit and miss for linux support. I'd suggest searching google with the *exact* make and model number your looking for.
[02:00] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: didn't they have instructions on the creative site?
[02:00] <sethk> ovid, try the text mode install on the alternate cd
[02:00] <bjbdrgn> flamsmark: not sure if it's on the cd, but the linux packages probably have it
[02:00] <Pir8> this might be a silly question, but is there a way to find out the date on which I installed linux on my system ?
[02:00] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: That fullscreen toggling action is now in a plugin called "extrawm" (Extra WM Actions), which is inside compiz-fusion-plugins-extra.
[02:00] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: In the readme it says I need to have the fully configured source for ALSA and my Linux Kernal
[02:01] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, yes, but it's the same as just running it in the terminal without the sh
[02:01] <madman91> Pir8: if you get an answer, please let me know, I'm interested in this as well
[02:01] <Pir8> maddler,  ok :)
[02:01] <bjbdrgn> Fyda: ahh, downloading everything that matched compiz right now
[02:01] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: How do you run something in terminal without sh?
[02:01] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, running it under sh is the default.  As long as the script is marked executable (as in chmod +x) the sh isn't needed, although it doesn't hurt.
[02:01] <brophat> I have / and /home, how big should I make / ??
[02:01] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, you simply type in the name
[02:01] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk: thanks!
[02:01] <doorknob60> hmm foso go to System->administration->synaptic package manager
[02:01] <Slart> LinuxEzGer8: I can't really help you with the alsa source.. I've never messed with that
[02:01] <flamsmark> bjbdrgn, but will it mess things about to install them later?
[02:01] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if you were to say    sh xyz       it's the same as just typing   xyz
[02:01] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: If you used the standard dist-upgrader I think compiz would have been auto-installed already... maybe not plugins-extra though.
[02:02] <bjbdrgn> flamsmark: not sure, I installed Kubuntu from a server install
[02:02] <flamsmark> bjbdrgn what did you do, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[02:02] <LinuxEzGer8> Slart: Thanks anyway!  And thanks for all your help.  I think Seth wants to take a bite. :D  Sethk: How do I know if I have "configured source for the Linux kernel and ALSA which you want to use for this device driver"?
[02:02] <sethk> flamsmark, no impact on anything later
[02:03] <doorknob60> foso?
[02:03] <bjbdrgn> flamsmark: yeah, and turned off services except for ssh
[02:03] <overlord_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=609608             <- This is my problem. Kindly help. Anyone!
[02:03] <foso> doorknob60 i did, and i got the python files listed in the readme
[02:03] <doorknob60> oh u did
[02:03] <mular> hey everyone, I accidently set the wrong partition as a linux swap, corrected it but for some reason my windows install is still seeing it oddly can't assign it a drive letter
[02:03] <lucian> what is the proper way to mount an external hd? Im doing sudo mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sdf1 ./book and it still wont let me write to it without sudo
[02:03] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, obviously if you installed them, then you know they are present.  You can use the synaptic package manager to view what's installed and what isn't.
[02:03] <mular> anyone know how I can fix that, short of formatting?
[02:03] <foso> doorknob60 yeah im installing right now
[02:03] <doorknob60> so install the pythin files then try ./configure again
[02:03] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, by default the kernel headers are installed.  By default the compiler is not, so you'll need:    sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:03] <foso> ok thanks!
[02:03] <doorknob60> then hopefully it wont give any errors
[02:04] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: I am pretty sure I'm gtg on the Linux (7.10 ubuntu) but the ALSA has me worried.
[02:04] <flamsmark> bjbdrgn, so if i really want a something that works as a server, but i can run a local x usefully on too, would you recommend that?
[02:04] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: ah
[02:04] <Pir8> madman91, check for the timestamp on your /etc/fstab file.
[02:04] <sethk> mular, both the windows install and the linux install will see all partitions.  Windows doesn't necessarily understand the type of a linux partition.  Linux is smarter and understands the types of all windows partitions.
[02:05] <alfermp> hey guys can u recomen some aplication for send and recived fax. I have Ubuntu
[02:05] <mular> sethk, is there anyway I can get it to read / write on that odd partition?
[02:05] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, you may have to install some or all of alsa, but it's not difficult to do.
[02:05] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: is ALSA standard?
[02:05] <sethk> mular, you mean windows?
[02:05] <mular> yup
[02:05] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, yes, on the desktop install
[02:05] <hallo> sethk, not really,try total commander
[02:05] <mular> I know this is ubuntu but started here lol
[02:05] <lucian> what is the proper way to mount an external hd? Im doing sudo mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sdf1 ./book and it still wont let me write to it without sudo
[02:05] <sethk> mular, you can format it as a windows partition, but then of course, linux won't use it for swap
[02:05] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: Sorry to ask stupid questions, but how do I know how much ALSA I have installed?
[02:05] <flamsmark> !alsa
[02:05] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:06] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, easiest way is to use synaptic, the gui front end of the package manager.  Installed things have a solid green box on the left, installed things have an empty box (that you can check to install)
[02:06] <ConstyXIV> are there any apps in ubuntu to use your webcam as a security camera?
[02:06] <foso> doorknob60, sending a message
[02:06] <mular> aye I see so no way to "change" it back.. ubuntu still see's it as NTFS and so does windows.. but its partition magic that tells me its a linux swap lol bugger
[02:06] <bjbdrgn> Fyda: thanks, worked fine, and i'm upgraded properly
[02:06] <mular> have so much data on it don't want to format ;(
[02:06] <sethk> mular, if you made it linux swap, the data is most likely already gone
[02:07] <sethk> mular, sounds as if perhaps you didn't actually save the partition change to make it linux swap.
[02:07] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: Should I just install everything ALSA?
[02:07] <fat_rat> --help
[02:07] <sethk> mular, do     fdisk -l       on the disk, see what it thinks the partitions are
[02:07] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if you have plenty of disk space, then sure.
[02:07] <mular> says ntfs
[02:07] <mular> err wait
[02:08] <mular> /dev/sdb1               1       54426   437176813+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
[02:08] <sethk> mular, ok, windows will see that as unused space.
[02:08] <mular> windows says ntfs - the datas still all there but windows can't see it.. it did at one time but I just formatted and reinstalled windows after a bad idea of just using virtualbox
[02:08] <foso> doorknob60 did you get it?
[02:08] <doorknob60> nope
[02:08] <fat_rat> is there bitchx aviable for ubuntu?
[02:08] <sethk> fat_rat, yes
[02:08] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: I built this machine to just run WoW
[02:08] <kitche> fat_rat: yep
[02:08] <mular> since the reinstall, windows sees it as NTFS unknown file system.. no way to fix that then?
[02:09] <robdig> lucian: for fat filesystem, it defaults the ownership and group to the process...since you're using sudo then i guess it is setting it to root...ls -l would verify. there is an option to set the user and group id for fat...
[02:09] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  So space is not a problem
[02:09] <flamsmark> fat_rat apt-cache search bitchx
[02:09] <fat_rat> sethk: apt-get?
[02:09] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, ok, then just check all of them, make your life easier.
[02:09] <sethk> fat_rat, search in synaptic; I don't remember the exact package name.
[02:09] <lucian> robdig: what is that option. . because i cant use mount without sudo
[02:09] <flamsmark> fine, ignore me
[02:09] <brophat> anyone know how big I should make / if I also have /home ??
[02:09] <LinuxEzGer8> Sehtk:  Done.  Should I go ahead and install the driver for my sound card?
[02:09] <sethk> flamsmark, hey, you have to type faster.  :)
[02:10] <fat_rat> sethk: thx
[02:10] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if it isn't already installed, yes.
[02:10] <doorknob60> brophat: 10-15 gb should do
[02:10] <flamsmark> sethk but i was in there :(
[02:10] <foso> doorknob60, now?
[02:10] <sethk> flamsmark, :)
[02:10] <doorknob60> nothing
[02:10] <Synx_hm> Ack utorrent is stuck in the system tray and i cant get it out, ive tried restarting it and even rebooting, an ideas?
[02:10] <brophat> doorknob60 isn't that kind of large? I thought 500 megs
[02:10] <doorknob60> idk...
[02:10] <robdig> lucian: uid=<value>,gid=<value>
[02:10] <LinuxEzGer8> "This product will only support 64-bit Operating Systems"
[02:10] <bluejay> can someone help me out on installing icecast & mpd?
[02:10] <doorknob60> a lot of programs dont install into home
[02:11] <doorknob60> und in like /usr and stuff
[02:11] <doorknob60> idk
[02:11] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, that's a binary, then.  A 32 bit version must also be available
[02:11] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, which card/driver?
[02:11] <doorknob60> more than 500mb though
[02:11] <T1m0thy> Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin?
[02:11] <lucian> so sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,uid=myusername,gid=myusername /dev/sdf1 ./book ?
[02:11] <foso> doorknob60 im seeing yours but i dont think youre getting mine
[02:11] <doorknob60> weird cuz im not getting yours
[02:11] <sethk> brophat, well, it depends on what you want to install.  You can get the o/s with console support running in about 128 meg, but that's not what most people want.
[02:11] <LinuxEzGer8> Sound Blaster Xfi Xtreme Audio
[02:12] <Vadi> What's the command to re-create the xorg.conf file? Without the questions part.
[02:12] <brophat> sethk if I was gonna do that I would not need this channel haha
[02:12] <foso> doorknob60, basically i was gonna send you the whole error, but it says i dont have libwnck1.0
[02:12] <robdig> lucian: think so, checking to see if they want numeric values (surely they wouldn't...)
[02:12] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, I've heard of many cases where 32 bit is available but not 64, but never the reverse.  The 32 bit driver is out there, somewhere.
[02:12] <lucian> robdig: i hope not because i dont know what my numeric value is or how to get it
[02:12] <doorknob60> sudo apt-get install libwnck1.0     type that in terminal
[02:12] <sethk> brophat, seriously, tell us what you want to install and we can comment more specifically on space.
[02:13] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  What morons.  They did precisely that.
[02:13] <sethk> lucian, robdig, you only need numeric values if you want to use IDs that aren't defined within linux.
[02:13] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Appears it's only available for 64-bit
[02:13] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, url?  That would be more than just moronic
[02:13] <brophat> sethk I have an 80 gig hd and a 120 gig hd, I want to put / and /home on the 80 and make the 120 one huge partition and call it /home/stuff
[02:13] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, this I have to see.
[02:13] <robdig> sethk: ah, thanks...then lucian you should be good to go
[02:14] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/27/creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-linux-driver/
[02:14] <mats_> problem: When I try to start sound recorder, it says: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the multimedia settings."...why?
[02:14] <sethk> brophat, that's certainly more than sufficient.
[02:14] <lucian> sethk,robdig: thanks
[02:14] <sethk> brophat, I prefer /usr2, but that's entirely asthetic and has no basis in logic.  :)
[02:15] <brophat> sethk ok now for the big question: how big should I make / ??
[02:15] <LinuxEzGer8> There's posts around of people able to get theirs working
[02:15] <amitprakash> sethk, hey,.. thanks a lot..i fixed the uuids and now i can boot in.. tho i think most of my permissions are messed up
[02:15] <foso> doorknob60 unable to lock the administration directory
[02:15] <amitprakash> sethk, have reversed most of the damage tho
[02:15] <T1m0thy> Why are some images appearing smaller than they're supposed to in Firefox?
[02:15] <sethk> brophat, make the 80 gig drive one partition, and the 120 one partition.
[02:15] <lucian> yay!
[02:15] <LinuxEzGer8> Is it possible to install the factory ones from the CD using CrossOver?
[02:15] <lucian> works
[02:15] <doorknob60> foso never seen that one before, and idk what it means either
[02:16] <brophat> sethk you are saying make the 80 gig like / and the 120 say /stuff ??
[02:16] <bjbdrgn> Fyda: know where compiz settings are stored, for Ring Switcher? I can't seem to set the key macro in Actions
[02:16] <foso> doorknob60 i have libwnck 22
[02:16] <sethk> brophat, yes, that is what I would do.
[02:16] <brophat> hmm ok
[02:16] <foso> it said something about renaming something
[02:16] <doorknob60> foso did it give that error when you tried to do ./configure?
[02:16] <sharsa> ok, i need soundcard help. Intel ALC883 Analog, it is setup, not mute, yet nada, no sound
[02:17] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  How do people get their devices working without the exact driver?
[02:17] <Fyda> bjbdrgn: For Compiz-specific questions I would recommend that you ask in #compiz-fusion
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> !intelhda | sharsa
[02:17] <ubotu> sharsa: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[02:17] <sharsa> thx
[02:17] <foso> doorknob60 yeah, then it said the other thing about unable to lock when i tried to get it
[02:17] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, in general, they don't, unless the hardware emulates some other more common hardware.
[02:17] <amitprakash> sethk, is it possible to get a list of all the stuff installed on my ubuntu installation
[02:17] <doorknob60> hmmmmm try again? :P idk
[02:18] <sethk> amitprakash, dpkg can list installed packages, yes.  synaptic will show you in a nice UI
[02:18] <kst-> gn.
[02:18] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  And I can't run the 64-bit one?  Is there a way to change to 64-bit mode?
[02:18] <amitprakash> sethk, dpkg -l?
[02:18] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if you have a 64 bit processor, you can install all 64 bit software.
[02:19] <sethk> amitprakash, right
[02:19] <wardrich> hey
[02:19] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, a 64 bit installation can run 32 bit programs, but it won't work the other way around.
[02:19] <amitprakash> sethk, i would like to get only the package names so that after a clean install i can just do a sudo aptitude install list and get away with it.. is that possible?
[02:20] <foso> doorknob60 thanks for your help, ill keep messing
[02:20] <doorknob60> kk
[02:20] <sethk> amitprakash, yes, it's possible to script it.
[02:20] <Tripfx> anyone have problems installing limewire?
[02:21] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Just scoured the documentation that came with my chip.  Can't find anything about bits.  How can I check what bits I have?
[02:21] <KI4IKL> I installed kubuntu-desktop to kinda try it out, and then decided I didn't like it so I apt-get removed kubunu-desktop...yet all the kde apps are still installed
[02:21] <amitprakash> sethk, will try.. thanks
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> Tripfx: try frostwire, but most likely the problem is you don't have java installed.
[02:21] <fat_rat> Tripfx: nope
[02:21] <wardrich> Tripfx: why not use GiFT?
[02:21] <monstermike234> join #math
[02:21] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it's not the chip, it's the installed software and it's the processor on the mother board.  To run 64 bit, you need a 64 bit processor; AMD is the most frequently used one.
[02:22] <fat_rat> Tripfx: check dependences...
[02:22] <Tripfx> yest thats what it says but I have installed java.  I will try frostwire or gift.  Thanks everyone
[02:22] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if you have a 64 bit processor, you can install the 64 bit version of ubuntu, and then use the 64 bit driver.
[02:22] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  System Monitor says:  Processor:  AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
[02:22] <wardrich> Gift will run in a terminal window
[02:22] <wardrich> it's pretty light weight, but it does the rick
[02:22] <wardrich> *trick
[02:22] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, ok, good, so it's 64 bit dual core, which is very powerful
[02:22] <LinuxEzGer8> SNAP SON!
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> Tripfx: most likely if limnewire isn't working, frostwire won't..., yu probably don't have the proper java environment installed.
[02:22] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, but you need to install 64 bit ubuntu to take advantage of it.
[02:22] <LinuxEzGer8> How do I set everything to 64-bittles?
[02:22] <LinuxEzGer8> crap
[02:23] <Tripfx> is gift as easy as limewire?
[02:23] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, sorry about that, but you install one or the other.
[02:23] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  How do I go about doing that?
[02:23] <wardrich> it's pretty straight forward
[02:23] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, an ubuntu install doesn't really take all that long.  Besides, you'll do it much better the second time.
[02:23] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, you download the 64 bit cd
[02:23] <IndyGunFreak> Tripfx: its a CLI program if i recall... so you  make the decision
[02:23] <wardrich> run giftd -d, then run giFTcurs
[02:23] <wardrich> http://www.nongnu.org/giftcurs/
[02:24] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  If I have no cd to write to, what would you suggest?  I have LiveCD for 7.04
[02:24] <Tripfx> let me try.  I'll check back if I have a problem.
[02:24] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Also, I'm assuming I will need to redo the video card driver?
[02:24] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, 7.04, and 7.10, are both available in 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
[02:25] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, well, once you reinstall the o/s, it will stop complaining that it needs the 64 bit o/s.  You have to reinstall _everything_
[02:25] <flamsmark> so, i'm using a gigabyte n680-sli dq6 motherboard which has an onboard sata raid controller. to this are attached three large hard drives (the system drive is separate, on another sata controler on the mobo) and in the first sata raid controller mentioned's portion of the bios, it's set to use these three drives as a single beautiful raid-5'd volume. why then, do i perennially see the drives as three separate objects in the
[02:25] <flamsmark> os?
[02:25] <flamsmark> seriously? os gets truncated?
[02:25] <flamsmark> fine, be that way
[02:25] <T1m0thy> Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin?
[02:25] <sethk> flamsmark, you need to configure the kernel to recognize the RAID 5 setup.
[02:26] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Okay, so I have LiveCD 7.04.  How do I tell it to install the 64-bit version and subsequently update to 7.10 64-bit?  Also, do you know if the nvidia drivers that I currently have are supported in 64-bit?  And lastly.... Thank you so much.  You are my hero.  :D
[02:26] <KI4IKL> I installed kubuntu-desktop to kinda try it out, and then decided I didn't like it so I apt-get removed kubunu-desktop...yet all the kde apps are still installed
[02:26] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, as far as I know, you don't tell it, you simply use the 64 bit cd to install 64 bit, and the 32 bit cd to install 32 bit.  You'll have to burn that cd somewhere.
[02:26] <amitprakash> #join #ubuntu-india
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> KI4IKL: lol, you're gonnna spend a LONG time uninstalling those apps..
[02:27] <sethk> amitprakash, /join, not #join
[02:27] <doorknob60> if u need to just remove them individually
[02:27] <amitprakash> yeah :X
[02:27] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Can I download it to my HDD, say on the desktop, and run it from there?
[02:27] <KI4IKL> IndyGunFreak, but why wont kubuntu-desktop unstall them all?
[02:27] <doorknob60> idk...
[02:27] <KI4IKL> thats kinda BS
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> KI4IKL: well, if you'd used aptitude instead of apt-get, it would have..
[02:27] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, you can do that with packages, but not with the initial install.
[02:27] <doorknob60> idk if this will do anything but try sudo apt-get autoremove
[02:27]  * Peregrino says Hi!
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> KI4IKL: it is..., but its the way apt-get is designed.
[02:27] <Nostahl> how do i get ndisgtk in ubuntu
[02:27] <doorknob60> might take em off
[02:27] <KI4IKL> IndyGunFreak, what aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop?
[02:27] <Nostahl> i dont see it in synaptic
[02:27] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, you can set up a 32 bit/64 bit cross compiler and rebuilt the kernel in 64 bit mode, and then install all the 64 bit packages.
[02:28] <dany> alguien puede hablar bien carjo jajaja seguro ni me entienden
[02:28] <nickrud> KI4IKL, you can get rid of the great majority with apt-get remove libqt3-mt
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> KI4IKL: won't work at this point, because you didn't aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[02:28] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it's a bit tricky to set up if you haven't worked with gcc in cross compilation configuration.
[02:28] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: Just flew that one over my head
[02:28] <Peregrino> Is there anybody willing to help? ^_^
[02:28] <flamsmark> sethk - shouldn't my hardware be presenting itself as a single volume?
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: thats a good idea, didn't think of that.
[02:28] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it's not difficult, it's just buzzwords.
[02:28] <sethk> flamsmark, not always.
[02:28] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Can you guide me, or is it pretty involved?
[02:28] <Fyda> !es dany
[02:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about es dany - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:29] <robdig> Peregrino: maybe...what's your question
[02:29] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, I can try to guide you.  It's hard to say whether we would succeed because I don't know how much you already know and how brave you are.
[02:29] <Peregrino> regarding user passwords ion Ubuntu 7.10
[02:29] <flamsmark> sethk - your suggestion, would that make the kernel see the volume, or are you suggesting a software raid setup?
[02:29] <wardrich> Anybody here know much about wireless?  I'm on a dell Inspiron 1501, and I've gotten as far as getting the Wifi light to turn on... and it can find the SSID's, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect... is there something I can try typing in the CLI?  All I've really been able to try is the networking app that came with Ubuntu
[02:29] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: Very brave, very unknowledgable
[02:29] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, seriously, it's not dangerous, because if you mess up, you reinstall.
[02:29] <ricanelite_> anyone here plays Urban terror?
[02:29] <sethk> flamsmark, no, not software raid.
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> !ask | Peregrino
[02:29] <ubotu> Peregrino: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:30] <sethk> flamsmark, there are RAID controllers that do the right thing (that is, present the thing as if it were one physical disk), but not all of them do so.
[02:30] <theRealBall|away> hi is anyone good with accounting 101 ? i need help please PM me
[02:30] <T1m0thy> Why are some images appearing smaller than they're supposed to in Firefox?
[02:30] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  I am putty in your hands.
[02:30] <sethk> flamsmark, what can happen is that the o/s uses a fallback driver with very basic IDE (or SATA, in this case) functionality.
[02:30] <flamsmark> sethk - so you suggest that there's some way for me to persuade my kernel to see the full volume, say like installing a driver for the full volume?
[02:30] <theRealBall|away> help out a fellow linux user eh
[02:30] <Nostahl> what is the root password for ubuntu 7.10
[02:30] <T1m0thy> Whatever you set it to.
[02:30] <Peregrino> okey! Well, I would like to remove the password for my user account on Ubuntu 7.10 (or at least remove the propts for it), but I don't have the least Idea how to do it :S
[02:30] <Zok|> guys, I need lil help .. I got new, fresh installed Kubuntu distribution, and I can't compile :/ .. I got error message: Can't find X libraries .. anyone who can help me please ?
[02:30] <robdig> Nostahl: there isn't one
[02:31] <sethk> flamsmark, right, by installing a driver that is aware of the chipset your board is using to implement raid.
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> !root | Nostahl
[02:31] <ubotu> Nostahl: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:31] <sethk> flamsmark, if you tell us the chipset we can be more specific.
[02:31] <flamsmark> n680sli
[02:31] <Nostahl> what package do i download to get ndisgtk
[02:31] <amitprakash> sethk, how do i run gnome network applet from konsole?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> Zok|: for kubuntu help, join #kubuntu
[02:31] <brophat> sethk would there be any benefit to having it in the /home dir?
[02:31] <flamsmark> sethk n680sli, and i'm checking nvidia's site
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: you're not going to find anyone here that will tell you how to do that.
[02:32] <flamsmark> sethk though i did mention the chipset initially
[02:32] <sethk> amitprakash, generally speaking, you don't.  I think there is an adapter to do so with kde, but not at the CLI.
[02:32] <flamsmark> sethk :p
[02:32] <amitprakash> okay :)
[02:32] <sethk> flamsmark, well, I'm getting old and forgetful.  Plus this channel has about 200 messages a second (or so it sometimes seems)
[02:32] <ricanelite_> anyone plays games on linux?
[02:32] <T1m0thy> Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin?
[02:32] <leviatan> hi! I have a question: how can I have mp3 archives reviews with nautilus? i can preview just ogg and wav files
[02:32] <doorknob60> i play some games on linux
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> T1m0thy: just compile it, it doesn't take long
[02:32] <flamsmark> sethk i concur
[02:32] <T1m0thy> I don't, ricanlite_, I do use Steam on my desktop.
[02:32] <Peregrino> IndyGunFreak: Why? Forgiveme if that's not legal :S I'm just bored of entering my pass over and over again
[02:33] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, I don't think we can do it in traffic.  Join #temp102.  anyone else who may be interested can also join.
[02:33] <T1m0thy> IndyGunFreak: I've had problems with compiling Pidgin.
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: its not that its illegal, its a security issue
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> T1m0thy: like what?
[02:33] <gradin> what is that damned runlevel update command in debian?
[02:33] <T1m0thy> IndyGunFreak: Like, not having the tray image or no sound when im-ing.
[02:34] <flamsmark> sethk, and from the nvidia site, where, as soon as i select nforce, it jusmps to my chip, and linux, responds with 'No downloads were found for your configuration.'
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> T1m0thy: those sound like settings sisues, not compiling issues.... i've compiled pidgin many times with no such issues.
[02:34] <Ttech> Hi,  I need help, I want to play dvd's I innstalled the libdvdcss2 lib but it still won't play.
[02:34] <Ttech>  
[02:34] <T1m0thy> IndyGunFreak: Okay.. Well, should I sudo apt-get remove the current Pidgin before compiling the new one?
[02:34] <sethk> flamsmark, I had a machine last week where I had to use the driver from nvidia's web site because of a very new card.  The distro is always a bit behind, because they have to take nvidia's driver, turn it into a package, test it, etc.
[02:35] <Peregrino> IndyGunFreak: But isn't there a setting like "don't propmt for passord" or  a setting in witch I enter my pass only one and Ubuntu takes care anytime it needs a password?
[02:35] <doorknob60> timothy: wouldnt be a bad idea
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> T1m0thy: here's what i would do, sudo apt-get remove pidgin... let that finish, then sudo apt-get build-dep gaim  install all that crap,
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> then compile
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: no
[02:35] <flamsmark> sethk - though it seems like i'm out of luck
[02:35] <T1m0thy> IndyGunFreak: Thanks. :)
[02:35] <foso> doorknob60 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[02:35] <foso> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> T1m0thy: np, it should compile pretty easily after you do those two commands..
[02:35] <foso> doorknob60 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[02:35] <foso> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[02:36] <doorknob60> foso idk what that means either lol
[02:36] <foso> crap
[02:36] <sethk> flamsmark, possibly.  I would try installing the most recent nvidia driver regardless of what it claims to support.  It may work.  The one from the repos would probably work also, if you could convince the installer to use it.
[02:36] <amitprakash> if my nm-applet is unable to get a hold of my nics.. what permissions are missing?
[02:36] <ricanelite_> im having a pretty hard time wondering why i can't get urban terror or enemy territory running right
[02:36] <foso> anyone know what the error i just pasted mean?
[02:36] <Peregrino> IndyGunFreak: Geez, I think I'll have to get used to type my password over and over again :P But in the LiveCD you don't have to enter any Password :/
[02:36] <leviatan> how can I preview mp3 files? someone could tell me pls?
[02:36] <sethk> flamsmark, you can also use the   nv   driver (the open source, 2d driver) until the 3d driver is updated.
[02:36] <doorknob60> oooh do sudo apt-get install build-essentials is u havent already foso
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: sounds like it.
[02:37] <ricanelite_> like when i use the mouse to look around it locks up for a second and then it is fine and when im looking around again it locks up again
[02:37] <sethk> Peregrino, you can set it up to not have to use the password.
[02:37] <flamsmark> sethk - but was we recall, this is not a graphics but a raid driver
[02:37] <sethk> flamsmark, oh, yes, sorry, got confused.
[02:37] <Peregrino> sethk: how?
[02:37] <sethk> flamsmark, let me check that chipset.
[02:37] <flamsmark> wahoo! i have bootage, or booty, or what-have-you. it looks like my other hard drives were right royally confusing the grub installer
[02:37] <flamsmark> sethk - yes sir
[02:37] <foso> doorknob60 couldnt find the package
[02:37] <novas0x2a> how do i change a package's status from installed to auto-installed?
[02:37] <sethk> Peregrino, what are you doing specifically where you need to type the password?
[02:37] <foso> doorknob60 should it be in the desktop/avant in the terminal?
[02:38] <doorknob60> tthat command doesnt really matter
[02:38] <leviatan> I think I need a library to preview mp3 files, but I don't know wich one.... someone can helpp me pls?
[02:38] <nickrud> Peregrino, you can set the timeout of your password , visudo and add the line timestamp_timeout <num> 15 is the default
[02:38] <doorknob60> levi: what do u mean by preview them?
[02:39] <Peregrino> sethk: Mhhh, Let's se... today I installed Ubuntu, and I was prompted at least 6 times for it...
[02:39] <leviatan> doorknob60 If I put the cursor over a ogg i can heard the file, but I can't do it with mps files
[02:39] <sethk> flamsmark, take a look at http://hardware4linux.info/system/1423/
[02:39] <doorknob60> hmm i didnt even know you could do that with any files....
[02:39] <doorknob60> idk
[02:39] <sethk> Peregrino, if you can't be specific, I can't tell you how to turn off the password requirement
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: what you're asking to do is 1.  not-safe, 2. stupid.. and i would caution you about following the advice of anyone that tells you how to do it.
[02:40] <doorknob60> well i gotta go eat dinner be back later
[02:40] <leviatan> yes you can hehe but i don't know how to do it with mp3 files
[02:40] <leviatan> doorknob60 ok
[02:40] <hallo> if isp locked the port 6667,what port i should use? i mean irc
[02:40] <mats_> how come i can't record in sound recorder? I can hear what I play from my speakers...(guitar)?
[02:40] <flamsmark> sehtk - ok, brb
[02:40] <wardrich> Anybody here know much about wireless?  I'm on a dell Inspiron 1501, and I've gotten as far as getting the Wifi light to turn on... and it can find the SSID's, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect... is there something I can try typing in the CLI?  All I've really been able to try is the networking app that came with Ubuntu
[02:40] <Peregrino> IndyGunFreak: Okey, You know, this wquestion came up to me just a few minutes ago, and I was doing just some research before really doing anything ;)
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Peregrino: well, google is your friend..
[02:41] <leviatan> how can I preview mp3 files? someone knows?
[02:41] <flamsmark> sethk - that looks pretty decent
[02:41] <flamsmark> sethk - though abunch of other things are plaing up now :(
[02:41] <sethk> flamsmark, definitely encouraging
[02:41] <Peregrino> IndyGunFreak: Yeah! You can be sure about it, but sometimes I like some human feedback :P
[02:42] <leviatan>  how can I preview mp3 files with nautilus? someone knows?
[02:42]  * nickrud feels IndyGunFreak 's slap (rubs cheek)
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: lol
[02:43] <Zombie> Ubuntu locks up if it cannot find my Domain Controller.
[02:43] <Highlife> hey guys I'm trying to ssh into an xubuntu machine on my network but I keep getting:  RSA host key for 192.168.0.104 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
[02:43] <mats_> how come i can't record in sound recorder? I can hear what I play from my speakers...(guitar)? No matter what source I choose to record from, I still get no recorded sound...
[02:43] <Zombie> This is probably why my initial upgrade failed.
[02:43] <flamsmark> sethk - so that site lists the hardware on the system, and those individual pages list the modules needed to run that hardware?
[02:44] <Highlife> anyone know how i can fix that?
[02:44] <leviatan>  how can I preview mp3 files? :(
[02:44] <remote_matrix> hey sethk are u there?\
[02:44] <Highlife> leviatan: Its in the ubuntu guide
[02:45] <Highlife> leviatan: ubuntuguide.org
[02:45] <leviatan> ok thanks Highlife
[02:45] <sethk> remote_matrix, yes ...
[02:45] <sethk> remote_matrix, well, in body at least.
[02:45] <dryrot> i can't find truecrypt in the repos, am i retarded ?
[02:45] <Highlife> So can anyone answer my ssh Question?
[02:46] <ticked> hey all, has anyone here heard anything about Super Grub Disk
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> ticked: yes.
[02:46] <Xacarith> Does any one know where linux programs store their settings so that you can transfer then instead of having to set up programs like even Xchat again and again
[02:46] <ticked> indyGunFreak....good news or bad???
[02:46] <ivan> Xacarith: your home directory
[02:46] <crispexi> Xacarith, probably in your ~/
[02:46] <ivan> the hidden .dot files
[02:46] <crispexi> for xchat its ~/.xchat
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> ticked: well, i've used it 3x, 1x it worked, 2x it didn't.. but i don't think it was the programs fault.
[02:47] <remote_matrix> sethk buddy u remember the fan problem i was having (cpu fan) not coming on?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> ticked: what do you need it for?
[02:47] <ticked> IndGunFreak, i have windows on a harddrive and linux on a harddrive,k windows is on C: I think i am gonna have to format windows soon and i am worried about killin Grub
[02:48] <FLUxXxX> hello! i've removed splash and quiet from grub's kernel line so i only have text. now i'm trying to get a proper resolution (1280x800 would be perfect) but i don;t know how to do this. While googleing i found something about framebuffer but i don't know if that's what i need or how to use it. help?
[02:48] <IndyGunFreak> ticked: yeah, you'll definitely kill grub if you do that.
[02:48] <ticked> yeah i was hopin Super Grub Disk would be able to save my bacon
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> ticked: it might, but there are ways to reinstall grub from the Ubuntu Live CD's, although I'm not real familiar with it.
[02:49] <gaurdro> ticked: when you reinstall windows unplug the other drive and the SGD should repair things for you.
[02:49] <Dr_willis> !framebuffer
[02:49] <ubotu> If you would like information on framebuffers, please visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[02:49] <ticked> guardro SGD?
[02:49] <gaurdro> super grub disk
[02:49] <ticked> ahhhh
[02:49] <ticked> cool
[02:50] <Dr_willis> FLUxXxX,  its neabled by default you can use 'vga=ask' in the kernel options to test out the different res's at boot time.
[02:50] <tony_math> Highlife: Check your ssh configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config and make sure that StrictHostKeyChecking is commented out.
[02:50] <ticked> guardo, so i am guesing i should unplug drive with ubuntu, do what i gotta do with windows, then plug the drive back in and use sgd?
[02:50] <gaurdro> the important thing is make sure you're linux disk is unplugged when you install windows again.  if windows is feeling cranky i've seen it annihilate both boot records. and/or format the linux dirve
[02:51] <sethk> remote_matrix, yes
[02:51] <sethk> remote_matrix, what's the answer?
[02:51] <AFDerrick> Question for those of you out there.  I am new to Ubuntu and wanting to give back to the community (code), any suggestions where I can go to start with this?
[02:52] <Highlife> tony_math: Yes it's checked out
[02:52] <ticked> gaurdro thats what ubuntu did to me first time i tried partitioning c: and installing windows on c and ubuntu on d:   thus the second drive
[02:52] <ovid> ubunut install locks up on hardware config, earlier the error message was: "cannot allocate resource 0 on 000:00:000
[02:52] <Highlife> anyone else good with ssh?
[02:52] <doorknob60> im back!
[02:53] <robdig> AFDerrick: motu is a good place to start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[02:53] <gaurdro> what do you need with ssh highlife?
[02:53] <AFDerrick> Robdig: Thanks.
[02:53] <robdig> AFDerrick: np
[02:53] <amitprakash> sethk, if my network isnt working.. any ideas what permissions got changed during the copy?
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> tofaffy: did you get your prob w/ limewire worked out?
[02:53] <remote_matrix> sethk well sir, no answer yet... i kinda got more clues was wondering if u could help?
[02:53] <Highlife> guardo: I'm getting: RSA host key for 192.168.0.104 has changed and you have requested strict checking.Host key verification failed.
[02:54] <tofaffy> IndyGunFreak, yeah
[02:54] <Highlife> everytime i try to connect to an xubuntu machine on my network
[02:54] <sethk> amitprakash, that's really very hard.  See if there is any useful info in the logs.  try /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.
[02:54] <tofaffy> IndyGunFreak, you have good memory, it's been a long time since that problem
[02:54] <amitprakash> Highlife,either somenes done an attack,, or the server chaged his key
[02:54] <tony_math> Highlife: As a last resort, you can delete your .ssh folder in your home directory. rm ~/.ssh. You should be prompted to accept all keys again.
[02:54] <sethk> remote_matrix, ok, but give me a few moments to finish up a phone call.
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> tofaffy: it was just like 10-15min ago wasn't it?..lol..
[02:54] <Xacarith> Does any one know where linux programs save their settings?
[02:54] <gaurdro> highlife: have you connected to it when it was running another opperating system.
[02:54] <tony_math> Highlife: that should have been rm -rf ~/.ssh
[02:54] <Highlife> no
[02:54] <amitprakash> Highlife, remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[02:55] <Highlife> well yes
[02:55] <sethk> tony_math, he might be able to get away with deleting only   ~/.ssh/known_hosts.  If that doesn't work, he can always delete the rest.
[02:55] <Highlife> and it worked
[02:55] <tony_math> That's true sethk.
[02:55] <Xacarith> Already tried copying the home folder over...
[02:55] <remote_matrix> sethk take ur time lemmie know when ur done
[02:55] <gaurdro> each operating system will generate it's own set of keys so change in operating system=keys change error
[02:56] <Highlife> amitprakash and tony_math remove these from the computer im trying to connect to
[02:56] <Highlife> or the one im using to connect?
[02:56] <Ganjistus> i install Sidbuntu
[02:56] <Ganjistus> i hope it works
[02:56] <amitprakash> Highlife, the one u are using to connect
[02:56] <tony_math> Highlife: remove the .ssh folder from the computer you're using to connect. The computer where you're typing "ssh...."
[02:56] <source> time
[02:56] <nickrud> sidbuntu?
[02:56] <Ganjistus> yeah debian sid sources on ubuntu
[02:57] <nickrud> what's the point?
[02:57] <Ganjistus> i have no clue what i do
[02:57] <Ganjistus> i just do that to gain experiences
[02:57] <nickrud> that's a good point :)
[02:57] <doorknob60> brb -.-
[02:58] <sethk> Ganjistus, not necessarily a bad idea, if you don't mind reinstalling in case you need a stable box.
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> don't think i've ever heard of it.
[02:58] <Highlife> thank you tony_math and amitprakash
[02:58] <Highlife> it works now
[02:58] <amitprakash> sethk, wow.. there are like a million entries there ^^
[02:58] <sethk> amitprakash, always.  search for error (case insignificant)
[02:58] <Ganjistus> i think i can manualy "downgrade" to stable packets
[02:58] <flamsmark> sethk - what are these 'modules' of which they speak
[02:59] <amitprakash> sethk, found the error already :D and fixing it
[02:59] <tony_math> Glad to help Highlife!
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> Ganjistus: i would find that pretty unlikely
[02:59] <sethk> flamsmark, a module is a piece of the kernel that can be loaded after boot.
[02:59] <amitprakash> sethk, btw how many years of linux exp do u have?
[02:59] <sethk> amitprakash, I had 20 years of unix experience before linux existed, so a lot.
[02:59] <Ganjistus> try and error or something
[02:59] <amitprakash> sethk, wow
[02:59] <nickrud> ah, another old man
[02:59] <Xacarith> As much as I like linux, this is one of my issues with it, that programs install parts in so many places...  The other is permissions.  It's bad when you can't change sub folders in folders you own...
[03:00] <Ganjistus> sethk are you a unix developer so?
[03:00] <sethk> Ganjistus, yes.
[03:10] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Still around?
[03:13] <LinuxEzGer8> What's a nick collision
[03:13] <LinuxEzGer8> ?
[03:13] <winkman> HI... i've just installed FIrefox 2.0.0.11 and now my keyboard is acting up in firefox only... any ideas?
[03:14] <jepler> can someone point me at a good explanation of why my PATA IDE hard disk and cdrom have been recognized as scsi devices in ubuntu gutsy?
[03:14] <xzased> help. I rebooted my laptop and now it takes a while to load and says x server could not start
[03:14] <WACD> well I can't open my screens and graphics
[03:14] <WACD> i'm using ubuntu gutsy...
[03:14] <Fezzler> Worked like a charm
[03:14] <WACD> it works normally before...
[03:15] <nickrud> jepler, that's the new libata , it does that.
[03:15] <winkman> any ideas?
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> !xserver | xzased
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <Fezzler> any irssi users?  Favorite theme?  I'm using clean.  I prefer a white background
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> xzased: what were you doing before you restarted?
[03:16] <remote_matrix> Ganjistus y would seti@home help me ?
[03:16] <WACD> can anyone help me... please...? i really need my second monitor working...
[03:16] <Fezzler> Is irssi worth the time to learn vs Pidgin?
[03:16] <xzased> I was passing some files to an external drive
[03:17] <xzased> I didnt ownload any updates
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> Fezzler: two different beasts.. Pidgin is a great IM program, but a horrible irc client, look at xchat, xchat-gnome, irssie, kvirc, or several others for irssi.
[03:17] <ryantmer> Fezzler: Pidgin is nice, as it also has other IM clients built in
[03:17] <nickrud> Fezzler, anything is better than pidgin for irc, check out ircssi and xchat as well (not xchat-gnome)
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> xzased: hmm, thats it?... that doesn't make any sense.
[03:17] <flamsmark> how can i get the sata_nv module?
[03:17] <ryantmer> But I use XChat myself
[03:17] <xzased> I know, its weird
[03:17] <jepler> aha, this is the explanation I was looking for:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks
[03:18] <jepler> thanks nickrud
[03:18] <nickrud> *irssi, shouldn't watch movies while I type
[03:18] <jepler> that helped me find the search term I needed..
[03:18] <Fezzler> nickrud: Is ircssi different from irssi
[03:18] <nickrud> Fezzler, typo
[03:19] <xzased> is there any way to restart the x server?
[03:19] <Fezzler> nickrud:  typo - by me or u
[03:19] <nickrud> Fezzler, me, ircssi was supposed to be irssi
[03:19]  * IndyGunFreak shutters at irssi.. ;)
[03:19] <Fezzler> someone said irssi and "screen" and a powerful combo.  What does "screen" provide?
[03:20] <Fezzler> IndyCar: Why?
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> i need a GUI.., but thats just me..
[03:20] <WACD> hi...
[03:20] <WACD> I need help with my monitors
[03:20] <nickrud> Fezzler, I don't use screen, although I've played with it. It gives you several terminals in one, you can leave something running in it, close the terminal, and reconnect later for example.
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> WACD: ask..
[03:20] <Fezzler> Brickyard: Ah, I like to play and learn with my Ubuntu PC
[03:21] <Fezzler> nickrud: Is irssi more than an IRC agent?
[03:21] <Highlife> Does anyone know how I could mask myself on a wireless network?
[03:21] <amitprakash> nickrud, message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 forsub-path eth0.dbus.get.reason .any ideas??
[03:22] <albertolempira> hey guys i have a problem with my Toshiba laptop and the RT kernel, it won't boot from the RealTime Kernel... it gets stuck trying to load it....
[03:22] <matsss> Hey, how come linux is so great in so many aspects, but can't even manage to record sounds? :/
[03:23] <matsss> this is annoying me...
[03:23] <scguy318> !alsa | matsss
[03:23] <ubotu> matsss: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:23] <scguy318> matsss: probably related to ALSA
[03:24] <Fezzler> last irssi question as it is a bit OT.  So to begin, is the comment /connect freenode?
[03:24] <matsss> scguy318: Ok, hm...
[03:24] <dryrot> Fezzler: /network list
[03:24] <dryrot> Fezzler: if you have a network defined as 'freenode', sure!
[03:26] <amitprakash> is there a way to forcefully reinstall all the packages i have on my system now?
[03:26] <doorknob60> foso? u there?
[03:26] <nickrud> amitprakash, nope, what version of ubuntu are you running
[03:26] <Boohbah> dorknoob60: yes?
[03:26] <Fezzler> dryrot: I better spend time at irssi.org before I start
[03:26] <doorknob60> lol i just got the lock error that u got
[03:27] <cua0> what's the default x config for ubuntu? is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:28] <notgod> hello. I am going to go get a wireless card for my desktop. best buy. anyone have a recommendation for a reliable model/vendor?

[03:34] <Ttech> Oh NO! Netsplit!
[03:34]  * Ttech dies in the netsplit
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> yeah i think those are the netsplits, not nick collisions
[03:34]  * nickrud never sees them anymore, too much information
[03:34] <SpookyET> i can't get desktop effects to work
[03:34] <crdlb> crush_groove: on Ubuntu, yes it's preinstalled and running by default on supported video cards

[03:35] <WACD> nope...
[03:35] <WACD> i use two monitors
[03:35] <nickrud> SpookyET, and sudo modprobe fglrx ?
[03:35] <WACD> n i don't use any desktop effects...
[03:35] <SpookyET> crdlb: wrong channel. it works in ubuntu
[03:35] <staykovmarin> is it normal not to be able to format to ntfs, or is it something i am doing? i am using gparted, and the ntfs choice is grayed out
[03:35] <SpookyET> i'm trying to make it work in fedora
[03:35] <WACD> n then yesterday...
[03:35] <crush_groove>  crdlb  is this why my xchat window and everything else cant be moved ?
[03:35] <crdlb> ah hehe
[03:36] <WACD> n then the secondary monitor always act as an extenxion...
[03:36] <WACD> but yesterday i need to use it as mirror
[03:36] <crdlb> crush_groove: open System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[03:36] <WACD> i mirrored.... log out...
[03:36] <WACD> n then came back in...
[03:36] <WACD> from that second on...
[03:36] <crush_groove> done
[03:36] <crdlb> crush_groove: and make sure that 'Place Windows' is checked
[03:36] <amitprakash> crdlb, help please :( i ended up changing permissions/ownership  to my / recursively.. is there a way out w/o reinstall
[03:36] <WACD> my secondary monitor just gos to sleep..
[03:36] <scguy318> I've a question. I'm trying to get a Plustek Opticpro 4831p parallel port scanner to work, SANE says it's fully supported, but when I press the scan button in XSane, I get failed to start scanner: invalid argument message.
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> !enter | WACD
[03:36] <ubotu> WACD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:37] <cua0> what's the default x config for ubuntu? is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:37] <scguy318> cua0: I believe that's the case
[03:37] <speeddemon8803> yes cua0
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> yup.
[03:37] <crdlb> amitprakash: not that I can think of
[03:38] <crush_groove> crdlb,  place windows is checked and set at "smart" .. another thing is my windows dont seem to have borders
[03:38] <amitprakash> crdlb, how abt apt-get --reinstall install <pkg list from dpkg -l> ?
[03:38] <MokonaSan> does anyone know if it is possible to dual boot with Ubuntu on a PowerPC Mac?
[03:38] <hwilde> ever seen the loopback address just disappear?
[03:38] <cua0> MokonaSan: you should be able to, just be sure to download the ppc version
[03:38]  * Ttech didn't know apt-get had reinstall 
[03:38] <speeddemon8803> mokonasan, I assume so because you can dual boot with windows ;)
[03:39] <crdlb> crush_groove: oh it sounds like there's no window manager running at all
[03:39] <foso> what is the shortcut for the switch shifter? like the deck of cards sort of thing
[03:39] <crdlb> crush_groove: run 'compiz --replace' in a terminal and pastebin the output
[03:39] <MokonaSan> ah cool. I figured as much. I might be getting an old iMac, and so I wondered :)
[03:39] <WACD> There is something wrong with my "Screens and Graphics" a.k.a displayconfig-gtk... I have two monitors and no desktop effect... I used to use my secondary monitor as an extension...however  yesterday I need to use it as a mirror...so I open "screens and graphics" i changed the settings...
[03:39] <crdlb> foso: Windows key + Tab
[03:39] <foso> crdlb that is the sort of band that pops up
[03:39] <ogre> hey guys, what is the name of the app that is used to connect wirelessly (the one on the panel) and how can I add it to my <applications folder

[03:40] <amitprakash> crdlb, only problem is how do i get output from dpkg -l to a format i can paste to the command
[03:40] <LinuxEzGer8> Hello!
[03:40] <foso> crdlb my bad that is the ring switcher
[03:40] <crdlb> amitprakash: I really don't think that would work
[03:40] <staykovmarin> is it normal not to be able to format to ntfs, or is it something i am doing? i am using gparted, and the ntfs choice is grayed out
[03:40] <scguy318> ogre: Network Manager, but you really can't add it to the Apps menu
[03:40] <crdlb> foso: then turn off Ring Switcher, and Enable Shift Switcher. They use the same bindings by default
[03:40] <foso> oh
[03:40] <LinuxEzGer8> So I burned the 64-bit version of 7.10 to a CD, and when I try to boot off the CD, it locks at the menu screen.  Please advise.
[03:40] <scguy318> I've a question. I'm trying to get a Plustek Opticpro 4831p parallel port scanner to work, SANE says it's fully supported, but when I press the scan button in XSane, I get failed to start scanner: invalid argument message.
[03:40] <foso> crdlb can i change the shortcut and use either?
[03:40] <WACD> and then after that i log out... restarted X... but when I log in...my secondary screen went to sleep n will never work after that... no matter how many time i restart my computer "screens and graphics" will not work...n few mins ago I just opened in terminal n at the end it tells me index error...
[03:40] <crdlb> foso: yes
[03:41] <darklordveynom> how do i set my runlevel to 3 and kill X so i can install my nvidia drivers
[03:41] <WACD> so can anyone help me please...?
[03:41] <scguy318> LinuxEzGer8: burn your CD slower
[03:41] <scguy318> LinuxEzGer8: might be a bad burn
[03:41] <robdig> ogre: think it is nm-applet
[03:41] <foso> crdlb can you show me how?
[03:41] <foso> *tell
[03:41] <crdlb> foso: join #compiz-fusion
[03:41] <hwilde> ever seen the loopback address just disappear?
[03:41] <hwilde> ever seen the loopback address just disappear?
[03:41] <amitprakash> crdlb, T_T is there a way to make a list of packages i need on my next install to mirror how my old installation was?
[03:41] <foso> crdlb thanks!
[03:41] <speeddemon8803> !repeat
[03:41] <LinuxEzGer8> Man, it just took me 20 minutes to burn it.  :(
[03:41] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:41] <scguy318> darklordveynom: what instructions are you follwing? Ubuntu technically doesn't have the concept of a runlevel
[03:41] <winkman> darklordveynom: just a sec
[03:41] <nickrud> darklordveynom, run levels 2-5 are all identical, not redhatisms here, log into a console and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[03:42] <scguy318> darklordveynom: since runlevels are supplanted by Upstart
[03:42] <neo123> hi this is salwae
[03:42] <darklordveynom> im just following the instructions on the nvidia website
[03:42] <WACD> does anyone know what can I do...?

[03:50] <poeticrpm> suttles95, did that show you? There should be an "about gnome" section under system, and a section in the system monitor
[03:50] <suttles95> poeticrm:  in System Monitor, it shows Processor:  AMD Sempron 3000+
[03:50] <KDuB> psh
[03:51] <winkman> How do i install an OLDER version of a program (in this case- firefox)
[03:51] <KDuB> mount -o loop foobar.img /mnt/image
[03:51] <KDuB> =/
[03:51] <KDuB> thank you
[03:51] <scguy318> suttles95: uname -a
[03:51] <poeticrpm> im on kde and when i open the control center, it has a "Machine" entry that says x86_64
[03:51] <scguy318> nickrud: I'm aware, thanks
[03:52] <jahnkeanate1> can wine run vista programs
[03:52] <poeticrpm> gnome should have the same in the "about gnome" section
[03:52] <suttles95> scguy318:  what do you mean by uname -a?  do I type that in terminal?
[03:52] <scguy318> suttles95: yes
[03:52] <winkman>  How do i install an OLDER version of a program (in this case- firefox)
[03:52] <scguy318> nickrud: --resolution param doesn't exist, and
[03:52] <ronnie> jahnkeanate1: sure
[03:52] <scguy318> nickrud: I end up with
[03:52] <Ttech> winkman: Why?
[03:52] <jahnkeanate1> ok
[03:52] <scguy318> nickrud: scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
[03:53] <poeticrpm> that will tell you suttles95, good to know
[03:53] <speeddemon8803> Winkman why would you want to as older versions are buggy and have major issues.
[03:53] <winkman> Ttech: because the new firefox has stopped my keyboard from functioning properly within firefox
[03:53] <christos> hey im using a x1300 radeon graphics card and cant use desktop effects in 7.10 even with the restricted drivers enabled any solutions?
[03:53] <jahnkeanate1> where can i find ppd files
[03:53] <jmak> can someone help me with a bizarre message when i plug in a flash drive?
[03:54] <Ttech> Winkman: I'm not sure if that is an actual ff issue?
[03:54] <jahnkeanate1> i want to install a printer but i cant find a driver
[03:54] <jmak> it says invalid mount option
[03:54] <nickrud> scguy318, well, it worked well in 2004, I used it in an openoffice macro to scan receipts into my expense reports. But I don't see it in the options now either
[03:55] <doorknob60> foso?
[03:55] <winkman> Ttech: would you know of another reason? I've lodged a topic here, but i can't find any solutions... it's only happening in firefox. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3961327
[03:55] <suttles95> scguy318:  when I use the command uname -a, I got the following response:  Linux brian-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:55] <crispexi> hrm is the ubuntu root pass blank by default
[03:55] <hwilde> after a reboot the local loopback address is missing.  I have to run ifconfig lo up.  It is specified in /etc/network/interfaces.  why would his happen?
[03:55] <christos> hey im using a x1300 radeon graphics card and cant use desktop effects in 7.10 even with the restricted drivers enabled any solutions?
[03:55] <winkman> cirspexi: The ubuntu root is the default as your user
[03:55] <scguy318> suttles95: tells you that you're using a 32-bit kernel
[03:55] <winkman> (password)
[03:56] <scguy318> suttles95: i686 -> 32-bit
[03:56] <suttles95> perfect...thanks!
[03:56] <Filefl1> crispexi: the password for root (sudo) is your user account password
[03:56] <Ttech> winkman, I suppose so :/
[03:57] <arip> balikpapan
[03:57] <nickrud> scguy318, I remember now, it was a device option that I found with scanimage --help --device
[03:57] <winkman> Ttech: got any ideas?
[03:57] <crispexi> oh i see, thanks Filefl1
[03:57] <haymaker> if i plug in a usb flash drive, i get a message about invalid mount option, and then if i use sudo mount /dev/sdb1 it mounts fine
[03:57] <winkman> Ttech: I did a 100MB upgrade, but only what ubuntu's update manager told me to
[03:57] <scguy318> nickrud: ah
[03:57] <Joe_Dirt> I'm looking for a good port scanner, could some suggest to me?
[03:58]  * nickrud thinks man pages rule
[03:58] <SpookyET> I'm having trouble enabling desktop effects.
[03:58] <scguy318> nickrud: doing scanimage -L, the only thing it seems to detect is a webcam, nothing for my parallel port scanner, hmm
[03:58] <sethk> haymaker, we need the exact message, not "a message about"
[03:58] <Filefl1> Joe_Dirt: try nmap
[03:58] <Ttech> winkman, your keybaord is messed up?
[03:59] <deCon> can someone please help me figure out why my compiz has my background across the cube, but it won't show my task bars -- and it mirrors one desktop on all four????
[03:59] <nickrud> SpookyET, right channel this time?
[03:59] <winkman> Ttech: It only enters one keystroke per second... even if i type much faster
[03:59] <doorknob60> hey foso, u there? if so i know how to get the program to work
[03:59] <winkman> nothing else is running, and it's only affected in firefox
[03:59] <Ttech> remove and reinstall firefox?
[03:59] <haymaker> sethk, it says "Cannot Mount Volume.  Invalid mount option when attemtping to mount the volume."
[03:59] <Joe_Dirt> Filefl1, I have tried nmap, I must be doing it wrong because it's not finding ports that I know are open.
[04:00] <SpookyET> nickrud: Damn it.I'm installing xchat. IRCing in Piding is caveman
[04:00] <nickrud> lol
[04:00] <ToddEDM> antistaff.... thanks for the onjoin invite , but im staying here
[04:00] <christos> hey im using a x1300 radeon graphics card and cant use desktop effects in 7.10 even with the restricted drivers enabled any solutions?
[04:00] <haymaker> sethk, so i guess my question is how can i modify the default mount options that flash drives use to automount
[04:00] <Filefl1> Joe_Dirt: i don't know how to use it exactly :)
[04:00] <winkman> Ttech: I can give it a try, i tried to re-install, but didn't remove it first...
[04:01] <sethk> haymaker, that lives in the udev configuration because it's a hot plug event.  See if there is an entry for sda1 in /etc/fstab, and, if so, what the options are that are being used there.
[04:01] <borndeer> Everyone using Google Desktop on ubuntu ? How can i install GoogleCalendar gadgets?
[04:01] <ToddEDM> hey guys, i got a problem.... i try to open a webpage in firefox, but it never opens, just goes white, then i hit refresh and THEN it comes up....... any ideas???
[04:02] <flush> Linux h4xb0x 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:02] <hwilde> ToddEDM, clear all private data
[04:02] <Joe_Dirt> Filefl1, It was my first choice too. it's probably more than I really need.
[04:02] <speeddemon8803> todd...yeah lol
[04:02] <ToddEDM> hwilde: huh?
[04:02] <wers> will it use less resources if I remove one of the two panels? :)
[04:02] <speeddemon8803> clear all private data in firefox
[04:02] <hwilde> ToddEDM, clear all private data it is like in the menu
[04:02] <speeddemon8803> tools
[04:02] <ToddEDM> ohh
[04:02] <speeddemon8803> clear private data
[04:03] <hwilde> all of them tho check all the boxes
[04:03] <haymaker> sethk i see, the entry for sdb1 is udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec
[04:03] <Joe_Dirt> Could someone suggest a simple port scanner.
[04:03] <SeveredCross> nmap.
[04:03] <Filefl1> lol
[04:03] <haymaker> sethk, this is because i dont have a cdrom on the machine, so i can just remove it from fstab?
[04:03] <Filefl1> sorry :)
[04:03] <ToddEDM> cool thanks guys.... whats the reason behind that ?
[04:03] <soldats> namp
[04:03] <sheng> hey, i am encountering problems emulating wine
[04:03] <sheng> can someone help me
[04:03] <sheng> ?>
[04:03] <soldats> nmap*****
[04:03] <Guest039> I want to copy the same file to 6 directories all named lab{1-6}Fall07
[04:03] <Guest039> how can i do that?
[04:04] <wers> will it use less resources if I remove one of the two panels? :)
[04:04] <ToddEDM> Guest039:  rename the files
[04:04] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt namp
[04:04] <winkman> Ttech: When i go to remove firefox, it also tries to remove things like gnucash-docs (which i need)
[04:04] <speeddemon8803> wers, if your using less of ANYTHING im sure resources will go back to being free :)
[04:04] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt nmap*
[04:04] <sheng> is it possible to run itunes
[04:04] <sheng> using wine?
[04:04] <haymaker> sethk, yah that worked.
[04:04] <SeveredCross> sheng: Probably, but why would you wanna do that?
[04:04] <paradox> hello.
[04:05] <sheng> cus i tried
[04:05] <winkman> sheng: Check the appdb on winehq.com
[04:05] <sheng> to sync
[04:05] <sheng> with amarok and it doesn't work
[04:05] <Ttech> winkman: you good at apt?
[04:05] <hwilde> !enter | sheng
[04:05] <ubotu> sheng: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:05] <SeveredCross> sheng: Have you tried using Rhythmbox or Banshee?
[04:05] <wers> speeddemon8803: so that means, removing the other panel makes my computer faster, right? :)
[04:05] <NoiseBO1> So what to do when adding a module to the blacklist does not prevent it from loading at boot time?
[04:05] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx, I actually tried nmap but I think I don't know how to use it  Because it's not finding open ports that I know are open.
[04:06] <hwilde> wers, a tiny fraction of a second faster yes.
[04:06] <deCon> for some reason, my desktop background has taken over -- as in it doesn't display my menu bars...help!?!?!
[04:06] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt how you using it??
[04:06] <wers> hwilde: so it's not worth it?
[04:06] <sheng> yes, i tried both of these, and they messed up my playlist. now i have no songs on my ipd
[04:06] <hwilde> wers, personal preference I guess
[04:06] <wers> ooh
[04:06] <wers> I prefer two panels but I want to make my computer as fast as possible
[04:06] <wers> hehehe
[04:07] <LordLuke> .cannabischat.com
[04:07] <hwilde> wers, then run icewm it is lightweight window manager.  gnome is more complex
[04:07] <deCon> Can someone please help me fix my desktop -- it hid my menu panels???????????!!!!!!
[04:07] <SeveredCross> sheng: Okay then. It should be possible to run iTunes, yeah...Just install Wine, download iTunes setup. Double-clicking it should actually run it, I think newer versions of wine use the binfmts support in the kernel to add a hook for the .exe format.
[04:07] <nova> anyone else having problems with gutsy saving their res?
[04:07] <hwilde> deCon, apt-get reinstall gnome-panel
[04:07] <winkman> Ttech: I can try? I"ve just hit reinstall (using synaptic) and it's still having the same issue
[04:07] <mib_N0JHFEJl> nova: I love you man....
[04:07] <polywaffle> chessdb is the current replacement to SCID, the chess database program for linux.  Wondering if anyone is going to make a deb file for installation of this software as it is the most functional current successor to SCID
[04:07] <SeveredCross> If it doesn't run fine when you double-click, then open a terminal, cd to wherever you downloaded iTunes setup and run wine iTunes-Setup-Filename.exe.
[04:07] <paradox> Question: I've got a WD Passport external hard drive that is (only intermitently) being recognized by my xubuntu install. How do I stop it so that I can disconnect it?
[04:07] <wers> hwilde: I want to use gnome. I just want it to be as minimalistic as possible
[04:07] <poningru> deCon: do alt+f2
[04:07] <nova> mib_NOJHFEJL: love ya too dude
[04:08] <haymaker> ok, now i gotta make this wifi card work and i'm set on my new laptop
[04:08] <SeveredCross> paradox: Right-click and hit Eject or Unmount?
[04:08] <poningru> deCon: now type in gnome-terminal
[04:08] <speeddemon8803> right click it and click unmount pradox
[04:08] <sethk> deCon, one easy thing you can do is delete the gnome state directory under your home directory.  That will return you to the way things were the first time you ran the desktop
[04:08] <polywaffle> anyone with into on chessdb?
[04:08] <sethk> deCon, of course, you'll lose any changes or additions you made after that point.
[04:08] <paradox> Thank you Severed Cross. I can't believe I didn't see that.
[04:08] <deCon> ponigru did that ....doesn't show my bars yet
[04:09] <polywaffle> guess im gonna have to learn to make deb installation files
[04:09] <deCon> sethk how do i navigate if i can't see my desktop?
[04:09] <winkman> Ttech: any further ideas? I can give apt a go... just tell me what to do?
[04:09] <sethk> deCon, I didn't suggest that you navigate if you can't see your desktop.
[04:09] <poningru> deCon: now type in killall gnome-panel
[04:09] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx,  I'm using NmapFE using the defaults as SYN Stealth Scan, OS detection and all ports. It says host seems down.  I can ping it from a terminal.SoI don't understand.
[04:09] <sethk> deCon, what you probably mean is how do you get to a console?
[04:10] <deCon> poningru: kk is that what i have to do everytime? is F9 or a mouse 3 connected to this by default somehow?
[04:10] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt: maybe the host is rejectin the nmap scan using iptables so that's why you cant see any ports open or like it says, the host seems down
[04:10] <paradox> question: how come I wasn't able to see my external HD in /mnt or /tmp/media in xubuntu?
[04:11] <crush_groove> crdlb, .. ty vm ..anyway you can tell me in a snapshot how you knew whart that was ,, just experience or is a glxfb issue always the vidcard and I can reset it by reconfiging x?
[04:11] <sethk> paradox, because it will be in /media
[04:11] <speeddemon8803> paradox: there is a multitude of answers to that question, all kinds of different possibilities.
[04:11] <Nemesis02> hello everyone, i need some assistance with my ubuntu edgy.  i have an issue with multiple dependencies on a file (tzdata_2007b-1_all.deb) i keep getting an error saying that it can't update and since then, i can't do anything else.  How do i go around solving this problem?
[04:11] <ogre> how do i add a shortcut for nm-applet to my <system  folder?
[04:11] <AzureLight> Wow, this is awesome, 1000 people ready to help me! :D
[04:11] <crdlb> crush_groove: that error message told me, the "No GLXFBConfig for Depth 32" or whatever it was. It's a common nvidia problem
[04:11] <nova> anyone know i can make ubuntu save my resolution, i've tried many solutions to no avail.
[04:12] <deCon> poningru: kk is that what i have to do everytime? is F9 or a mouse 3 connected to this by default somehow?
[04:12] <NoiseBOX> So what to do when adding a module to the blacklist does not prevent it from loading at boot time?
[04:12] <speeddemon8803> AzureLight, were all ready and waiting :)
[04:12] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx,  it up for sure.  Ican connect to it. I just want to make sure there are not any extra ports open on it.
[04:12] <LinuxEzGer8> Grr
[04:12] <speeddemon8803> Speak your question and someone can possibly help.
[04:12] <poningru> deCon: not shouldnt be

[04:12] <Wolf23> helpers! anyone help me with my scanner plz?
[04:12] <AzureLight> Alright, I'm having a very annoying problem... I can't quite figure out what it is, but I know it's graphics related.
[04:12] <LinuxEzGer8> Okay, so I DLed the 7.10 64-bit install ISO to my desktop, burned it to a CD-RW, but it won't read from it
[04:12] <paradox> SETHK, speeddemon8803, and Severed Cross: THANK YOU!
[04:13] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt: do you have ssh access to that host?
[04:13] <AzureLight> It all started with me getting Team Fortress 2 running through WINE
[04:13] <LinuxEzGer8> I did it the second time at 4x speed
[04:13] <Guest039> I want to copy the same file to 6 directories all named lab{1-6}Fall07
[04:13] <Guest039> how can i do that?
[04:13] <deCon> poningru why would this have happened?
[04:13] <speeddemon8803> Paradox, your quite welcome.
[04:13] <AzureLight> It worked for a white, and then I have no idea what happened
[04:13] <Filefl1> if top doesn't show me any running programs that are eating my cpu time, what other options do i have for determining why my load average is so high?
[04:13] <LinuxEzGer8> Can someone guide me on how to boot from the installation CD I make from the website?
[04:13] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: burned it how? using what program?
[04:13] <twobits> I am wondering.
[04:13] <AzureLight> But now it won't run, and now any game/app that uses 3D runs with a very low FPS...
[04:13] <LinuxEzGer8> Ubuntu's cd-writer
[04:13] <speeddemon8803> you first need to set up your bios to boot from a cd linuxezger8 if it isn't already set to do so :)
[04:13] <LinuxEzGer8> wh
[04:13] <fannagoganna> hi, how do i install Ubuntu 7.10 in VESA mode at a given screen resolution? I ask because I have an NVIDIA card, which the default installation does not seem to recognize
[04:14] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, put the cd in, boot the machine, press enter at the prompt, then choose install from the desktop
[04:14] <poningru> deCon: no clue
[04:14] <poningru> but did it work out ok?
[04:14] <LinuxEzGer8> I did Seth, it won't read the CD
[04:14] <Wolf23> helpers! anyone help me with my scanner plz? thanx
[04:14] <doorknob60> fanna do u also have vid card built in to motherboard?
[04:14] <LinuxEzGer8> it locks at the menu and after a bit it goes "Error booting from CD"
[04:14] <twobits> When I download the Ubnutu installer, if I indicate that my computer has a 64 bit architecture, will it download the 64 bit version
[04:14] <sheng> hey, i installed itunes using wine, but it is not opening up. When i double click, it says, program starting, and then it just disappears and nothing happens
[04:14] <Nemesis02> How do i fix this issue with apt-get? "trying to overwrite `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic', which is also in package locales"
[04:14] <fannagoganna> no, it's a PCI
[04:14] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: which cd writer?
[04:14] <fannagoganna> Nvidia GeForce 5500
[04:14] <twobits> or is this for some kind of statistic
[04:15] <LinuxEzGer8> CD/DVD Creator
[04:15] <nickrud> Nemesis02, what are you installing, and what version of ubuntu?
[04:15] <LinuxEzGer8> the default one
[04:15] <filmgeek> noob with file sharing/networking questions.
[04:15] <doorknob60> i had problem with my pci geforce fx 5200
[04:15] <LinuxEzGer8> I right-click it and pick Open With CD/DVD Creator
[04:15] <LinuxEzGer8> and write it to the CD
[04:15] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: did you check the md5?
[04:15] <LinuxEzGer8> The what?
[04:15] <fannagoganna> right, that's why -- how to just choose vesa mode for the X server?
[04:15] <towlie> is 15GB enough space for an lvm install of ubuntu ?
[04:15] <Nemesis02> nickrud, was trying to install libapache2-fastcgi, did a full upgrade, and it was trying to install tzdata_2007b-1_all.deb
[04:15] <fannagoganna> towlie, yes
[04:15] <AzureLight> is there any way to run a diagnostics on my graphics card?
[04:15] <bazhang> !md5
[04:15] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[04:15] <doorknob60> tthe way i fixed it was pluggin monitor in the build in crappy video card and making it default and installing using that
[04:15] <irreducibilis> fannagoganna: I have a Geforce FX5500 PCI too :)
[04:16] <ushimitsudoki> fannagoganna: I just installed 7.10 with an unrecognized 8800GTS. I had to use the alternative install CD, and then install the drivers later (after the alternative install the generic VESA drivers worked well enough for the unrecognized card).
[04:16] <AzureLight> And why it's not working properly?
[04:16] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx, no only on the lan side. Hopefully that is closed on the wan side.
[04:16] <sheng> can anyone tell me what is wrong? i can't get wine to open itunes after installation
[04:16] <LinuxEzGer8> What is the point of md5?
[04:16] <bazhang> check that link LinuxEzGer8
[04:16] <fannagoganna> but is there a way with the standard CD, to choose the X server to use vesa?
[04:16] <nickrud> Nemesis02, try sudo aptitude install tzdata locales
[04:16] <speeddemon8803> !anyone
[04:16] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:16] <j1solutions> LinuxEZ: you can confirm that your file is intact after your download
[04:17] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx, I'll try to connect to it though
[04:17] <ushimitsudoki> fannagoganna: I don't know about that. When I tried to install from the regular CD, I only got a blank screen, so I never got that far on the regular install method.
[04:17] <haymaker> ok, i installed ubuntu from a flash drive because i have no cdrom for this laptop.  now i need to make synaptic and apt work, cause they think it is a cdrom, so my source media /cdrom/ when it tries to install.  how can i tell it to use /disk/ or something
[04:17] <RoAkSoAx> Joe_Dirt: if you can access a shell into that host, do an nmap localhost and that way it will show the open ports, because that hosts seems to be rejecting packets from wan side and that's why it shows host seems down, it is a security measure
[04:17] <LinuxEzGer8> "Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory." ...
[04:17] <fannagoganna> ok, will just install in text mode
[04:17] <LinuxEzGer8> What mirrors?
[04:17] <Guest10108408> Hello, everyone.
[04:17] <fannagoganna> it's a horrible pain though
[04:17] <AzureLight> Does anyone use the program Stellarium? Does it usually run at a very low (0.05) framerate?
[04:17] <filmgeek> noob help - I'm lost on getting my usb harddrive visible to the rest of my network.
[04:17] <shawkins> Hello!
[04:17] <sheng> is there a way of opeing up itunes now that it is installed?
[04:18] <speeddemon8803> AzureLight, I do..and it does.
[04:18] <twobits> linux newbie here
[04:18] <speeddemon8803> I thought it was just me :)
[04:18] <HolyAvenger> I'm new to this world of Linux (I'm actually running Debian, but most of it is exactly the same)
[04:18] <Joe_Dirt> RoAkSoAx, Sounds good,I'll give it a try.
[04:18] <bazhang> haymaker: you have a net connection for this machine? you need to disable the install media as a source in synaptic
[04:18] <j1solutions> hello twobits
[04:18] <twobits> looking to install linux for the first time
[04:18] <AzureLight> And what about Frets on Fire? It runs REALLY slow for me
[04:18] <ushimitsudoki> fannagogana: I am a newbie, and this is my first install, so it is quite possible someone else may have better advice. Just giving you my experience
[04:18] <HolyAvenger> And the debian channel I used to go to, died. =(
[04:18] <LinuxEzGer8> I'm really starting to get frustrated.  I'm approaching the 24 hour mark of trying to get this set-up.  XP is looking more and more attractive...
[04:18] <fannagoganna> oh ok
[04:18] <sethk> fannagoganna, you can use a kernel argument to override the default driver choice.  Help at the boot prompt should have some info about that.
[04:18] <speeddemon8803> I have no clue about that one.
[04:18] <fannagoganna> all righty, will do
[04:18] <HolyAvenger> Does anyone know how can I check which program or service is using a certain port?
[04:18] <haymaker> bazhang, not until i can get ndiswrapper installed...
[04:18] <christos> im using a x1300 video card in 7.10 and cant get the desktop effects to run and it says that there is no composite extension available even with the restricted drivers activated
[04:19] <irreducibilis> AzureLight: Frets on Fire is AWESOME :)
[04:19] <j1solutions> LinuxEzGer8: get yourself a good disk and you'll be happy
[04:19] <fannagoganna> that's what i was wondering -- if anyone remembered the args. I'll just type F2 or F3 and see what goes down :)
[04:19] <nickrud> !xgl | christos
[04:19] <ubotu> christos: 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
[04:19] <LinuxEzGer8> I've burned the iso twice.
[04:19] <AzureLight> Yeah, except for the fact that it lags too much for me to even hit the notes :(
[04:19] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, if xp does what you need with fewer problems, then by all means use xp.  The computer is just a tool.
[04:19] <AzureLight> I think there's a problem with my graphics card
[04:19] <LinuxEzGer8> it's about to be a flying tool.
[04:19] <twobits> I have a few questions, like whats a decent size for an ubuntu partition? And when I download the website, if I indicate that I use a 64 bit archtecture, is that the version it downloads, or is that for statistical reasons.
[04:19] <irreducibilis> I use a FX5500, what do you have?
[04:19] <LinuxEzGer8> I hate XP
[04:19] <nickrud> christos, hrm, not very helpful. you need to run fglrxinfo , make sure it's using ati mesa , then install xserver-xgl and restart X
[04:19] <ogre> how do i add a shortcut for nm-applet to my <system  folder?
[04:19] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: if the md5 sum doesn't match, you can burn it ten times and it wont matter
[04:19] <j1solutions> LinuxEzGer8: download it again, and verify the MD5 sum, then burn it again
[04:19] <AzureLight> But I have no idea how to check if I have a problem or not
[04:19] <twobits> I wish it would just say download 32 bit version or download 64 bit
[04:19] <HolyAvenger> Does anyone know how can I check which program or service is using a certain port?
[04:20] <speeddemon8803> 4GB+ is a good partition size twobits
[04:20] <irreducibilis> I am fairly experianced with FoF's workings...
[04:20] <Cubexombi> can somone help with a little bit of a video overlay issue (i believe..) evrytime a full screen video or screen saver comes on, any text entry boxes among various other elements show as visual hiccups.. old ATI radeon, using open-source drivers.
[04:20] <filmgeek> noob help: how do I share a drive on my network?
[04:20] <LinuxEzGer8> "Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory."  First instructions on verifying.  What mirrors?
[04:20] <Nemesis02> nickrud, same error.  not going away.
[04:20] <nickrud> HolyAvenger, netstat -tlp
[04:20] <AzureLight> Well, FoF runs really slow, even when it's the only program running and I've set all my settings to low
[04:20] <nickrud> HolyAvenger, erm, prepend sudo on that
[04:20] <christop1er> How do I delete an auto login in irssi?
[04:20] <HolyAvenger> Thank you
[04:20] <nickrud> Nemesis02, a sec
[04:20] <doorknob60> whats FoF?
[04:20] <HolyAvenger> I'll try right now
[04:20] <AzureLight> Frets on Fire
[04:21] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: that question meant for me? to get someone's attention use their nick to highlight them
[04:21] <doorknob60> whats that?
[04:21] <LinuxEzGer8> Bazhang: yes
[04:21] <irreducibilis> doorknob60: An excellent Guitar hero clone that is open source
[04:21] <AzureLight> A Guitar Hero-like game
[04:21] <nickrud> Nemesis02, what version of ubuntu are your running, you said you did a full upgrade? Was that from one version to another?
[04:21] <earlmred> is there a program like cpu-z for linux? i'm trying to find out what busspeed my memory is running at
[04:21] <DipsetSkateHxc> I have partitioned my maxtor 300gb hard drive using mac os x.  I made a live cd for my ibook g4, and proceeded to boot into ubuntu.  My problem is that I am unable to install ubuntu on the preveiously partitioned hard drive
[04:21] <doorknob60> oooooh o love guitar hero
[04:21] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, one of the files should be called .iso.  That is the one you burn to the cd.
[04:21] <HolyAvenger> Nickrud: AWESOME! THANK YOU!
[04:21] <twobits> also, are there significant downsides to using the 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[04:21] <doorknob60> is FoF in repos?
[04:21] <irreducibilis> I can do Monkey Wrench on Expert using only my keyboard...
[04:21] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, the other should be a short text file with only one line which has the md5 checksum of the iso file.
[04:21] <crush_groove>  once you are root . how do you cancel it without shutting term ?
[04:21] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk: I have it on my desktop.  DLed it from the website.  Burned it twice (once as fast as possible, the next time at 4x)
[04:21] <AzureLight> doorknob60: Yeah, it's in repos.
[04:21] <ivan> twobits: not really, i've been using getlibs to get 32-bit libs
[04:21] <doorknob60> sweet
[04:21] <ivan> but i run it on a server
[04:21] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: the same place you download the iso from has a md5 to match that iso--download that as well then check from it upon download of the iso
[04:22] <DipsetSkateHxc> If anyone could help me with this, that would be awesome
[04:22] <doorknob60> *opens terminal and types sudo ap....."
[04:22] <LinuxEzGer8> ah
[04:22] <LinuxEzGer8> ok
[04:22] <interceptor> Hello
[04:22] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, but how did you burn it?  Burning an iso image is different than backing up files to a cd.
[04:22] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: same mirror means same download source
[04:22] <interceptor> ladies and gentlemans
[04:22] <sheng> help me plz. i can't get wine to open up itunes, and that means my ipod is wasted
[04:22] <AzureLight> irreducibilis: Any idea why my FoF is running really slow? Even with my settings turned way down?
[04:22] <ogre> can someone tell me how to add stuff to <system on my panel?
[04:22] <ogre> plleeeaassee
[04:22] <speeddemon8803> sethk, right click the image and click burn to cd I believe it says
[04:22] <bazhang> ogre: right click add
[04:22] <sethk> speeddemon8803, depends on what program you are using to burn it.
[04:22] <doorknob60> yay installing FoF as we speak
[04:23] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  I used the default CD/DVD Writer
[04:23] <irreducibilis> AzureLight: What are your full specs?
[04:23] <interceptor> i wanted to ask which prog do i need to upgrade my Feisty to Gutsy
[04:23] <ogre> bazhang:  went back to gnome ;P
[04:23] <sethk> linux4me, you may have copied the file to the cd, rather than burning the iso image to the cd.  I know it's a bit confusing but it won't work unless you burn it as an image.
[04:23] <sethk> linux4me, sorry, not you, tab completion ...
[04:23] <robdig> ogre: system->preferences->main menu
[04:23] <speeddemon8803> sudo apt-get upgrade-manager -c-d
[04:23] <astro76> !upgrade | interceptor
[04:23] <ubotu> interceptor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:23] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, , you may have copied the file to the cd, rather than burning the iso image to the cd.  I know it's a bit confusing but it won't work unless you burn it as an image.
[04:24] <AzureLight> irreducibilis: Any quick way to check them? All I know is I have an ATI Radeon X600 and 1 GB of RAM
[04:24] <Nemesis02> nickrud, check your PMs
[04:24] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk:  Ah.  How does one do that?
[04:24] <nickrud> interceptor, update-manager -c
[04:24] <rainwalker> AntiStaff has invited rainwalker@irc.freenode.com to the chat room #SecuWEP
[04:24] <rainwalker> what does that mean?
[04:24] <doorknob60> Azurelight what fps do you get in glxgears?
[04:24] <nickrud> Nemesis02, don't see it, you have to be registered with freenode to send pms
[04:24] <speeddemon8803> someone invited you to go to another room on this network
[04:24] <Nemesis02> nickrud, o ok.
[04:24] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, in windows, I don't exactly know, but it definitely can be done.  I always transfer an iso image to a linux box and use cdrecord to burn it.
[04:24] <interceptor> thankz
[04:24] <Nemesis02> nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d6eee9eef
[04:24] <AzureLight> doorknob60: What's glxgears?
[04:25] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it's so much easier than trying to convince windows to do what you want.
[04:25] <DipsetSkateHxc> I am completely new to ubuntu. I need some major help!!
[04:25] <rainwalker> speeddemon8803: it happens every time I enter this room
[04:25] <doorknob60> open a terminal and type in glxgears
[04:25] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk:  Windows?  I'm so not using windows.  :D  I found a blank CD-RW that I've been using.  Do I need to DL another program to burn it properly?
[04:25] <rainwalker> DipsetSkateHxc: what do you need help with?
[04:25] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, no
[04:25] <speeddemon8803> hmmm..dunno...as long as they aren't causing trouble in room I see no problems :)
[04:25] <irreducibilis> AzureLight: Thats strange... I have only 512MB and it works fine...
[04:25] <DipsetSkateHxc> Actually installing ubuntu on my external hard drive
[04:25] <AzureLight> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:25] <AzureLight> 3725 frames in 5.1 seconds = 732.748 FPS
[04:25] <interceptor> what a pity it's not installed
[04:25] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, are you running on your 32 bit install?
[04:25] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk:  Does the default CD/DVD Writer burn?
[04:25] <rodneykk> i pooped a tape recorder
[04:26] <doorknob60> hmm 732 fps aint that good
[04:26] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk: Currently yes
[04:26] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, yes
[04:26] <irreducibilis> Along with Pentium IV 1500 Mhz and a Nvidia 5500
[04:26] <doorknob60> i get over 2000 and my vid card isnt that great
[04:26] <nickrud> Nemesis02, you have several issues, but to start, make sure you have no sources other than ubuntu ones installed. Then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 better than my 430
[04:26] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it's normally intelligent enough to do the right thing.
[04:26] <doorknob60> somethings probly wrong with ur drivers
[04:26] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk:  are there settings I need to manipulate for it?
[04:26] <AzureLight> And what's with that first output?
[04:26] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: if you choose open with cd/dvd creator
[04:26] <AzureLight> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:26] <LinuxEzGer8> bazhang:  that's what I've been doing
[04:26] <DipsetSkateHxc> I try to install it on a previously partitioned hdd and it tells me there is no root file system.  So i dont knwo what to do after that
[04:26] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, it may be that there are problems associated with using a cd/rw instead of a cd/r.
[04:26] <AzureLight> Something is wrong with my drivers
[04:27] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, I'll give you the command I use to burn (from a terminal window):
[04:27] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: then it may be the media; do you have a blank cdr you can try it on?
[04:27] <irreducibilis> Could someone compare the Nvidia Fx5500's specs with the ATI x600?
[04:27] <irreducibilis> I am not famillier with ATI cards
[04:27] <LinuxEzGer8> sethk:  I'll look.
[04:27] <LinuxEzGer8> bazhang:  I'll look
[04:27] <Nemesis02> nickrud, i can't do dist-upgrade till i fix the issue with tzdata affecting apt-get
[04:27] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, cdrecord -vv whatever.iso
[04:27] <nickrud> Nemesis02, true, doh
[04:27] <ogre> bazhang: what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my <system folder
[04:28] <doorknob60> i can run glxgears inside konversation in the konsole tab on my fx5200 in a sec
[04:28] <doorknob60> as soon as FoF is done installing
[04:28] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, whatever.iso being the file you downloaded.  The -vv isn't necessary but gives you lots of info while it's burning, so use it.
[04:28] <bazhang> most of the problems with a bad iso burn have to do with either a)bad media b)burn speed or c)not matched md5 sum LinuxEzGer8
[04:28] <Jay-Oh-En> whats the name of the program to unrar files in ubuntu
[04:28] <doorknob60> i just use winrar in wine lol
[04:28] <bazhang> ogre: not sure--kde user here :}
[04:28] <AzureLight> Oops
[04:29] <AzureLight> Didn't mean to exit Pidgin
[04:29] <nickrud> Nemesis02, sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata<tab>
[04:29] <sherl0ck> Jay-Oh-En, unrar
[04:29] <Jay-Oh-En> sherl0ck: does it have a gui
[04:29] <sherl0ck> so im looking to get involved more in ubuntu, where should i begin??
[04:29] <nickrud> Nemesis02, did you just do an upgrade from one version to another?
[04:29] <Nemesis02> nickrude, option -i is unknown
[04:29] <speeddemon8803> involved how?
[04:29] <doorknob60> rofl i just did glxgearas and got 58 fps :P
[04:29] <speeddemon8803> helping?
[04:30] <doorknob60> i have waaaay too many progs running
[04:30] <bazhang> Jay-Oh-En: just clicking on the first file in a rar archive will put it back to gether
[04:30] <ogre> ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my <system folder. can anyone tell me how?
[04:30] <AzureLight> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:30] <AzureLight> 4723 frames in 5.1 seconds = 930.765 FPS
[04:30] <AzureLight> My FPS is going up now
[04:30] <Nemesis02> Nickrud, i did an upgrade from dapper to edgy, but what affected it was install libapache2-fastcgi from the debian repository.
[04:30] <Jay-Oh-En> bazhang: ?
[04:30] <crush_groove> ogre ,.. why not just use fluxbox is you want a clean dt?
[04:30] <sherl0ck> Jay-Oh-En, u want file-roller
[04:30] <irreducibilis> I wonder how much help I can be though... I run all my games in Windows
[04:30] <AzureLight> But that first output tells me something
[04:30] <Jay-Oh-En> sherl0ck: perfect thats what i was looking for
[04:31] <Cubexombi> AzureLight, it tels me that even with broken drivers your's still works better than mine
[04:31] <LinuxEzGer8> I do believe the disc is too small
[04:31] <Nemesis02> Nickrud, i was trying to install ispcp omega, a webhosting control panel that's the offshoot of VHCS.
[04:31] <nickrud> Nemesis02, oh, did you read what I said about repositories other than ubuntu above? REMOVE them, apt-get update, and try again
[04:31] <LinuxEzGer8> Sethk: if the iso is 696mb and the disk is a 700mb disc, is that too small?
[04:31] <Nemesis02> nickrud, yes i did.
[04:31] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: if it is a cdrw it may have other stuff still on it
[04:31] <soldats> no
[04:31] <AzureLight> Does anyone know what " Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." means?
[04:31] <irreducibilis> LinuxEzGer8: 696 < 700
[04:32] <nickrud> Nemesis02, ok, and dpkg -i is one of the fundamental commands, used it many times
[04:32] <sethk> LinuxEzGer8, might be a problem, yes.  You should run a blank on it first.
[04:32] <Cubexombi> AzureLight: What Vid card you got?
[04:32] <doorknob60> there i closed programs and got 1686 fps in glxgears on my geforce fx5200
[04:32] <doorknob60> lol compared to 58 with progs open
[04:32] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: ATI Radeon X600
[04:32] <Nemesis02> Nickrud, "E: Command line option 'i' [from -i] is not known."
[04:32] <LinuxEzGer8> bazhang: it does. It had the previous copy of the iso, however when I tried to do the cdrecord, it didn't record.  It filled the screen with stuff and went right back to the cursor.
[04:32] <Nemesis02> nickrud, woops my bad
[04:33] <Cubexombi> AzureLight: can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[04:33] <nickrud> Nemesis02,  ;)
[04:33] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Uh... how exactly?
[04:33] <bazhang> LinuxEzGer8: I've created plenty of drink coasters in burning iso files--you may want to get a stack of cdrs handy :}
[04:33] <Nemesis02> Nickrud, yeah, didn't see it also copied and pasted sudo apt-get in front also lol.
[04:33] <tanker_> is any body taking to me ?
[04:33] <LinuxEzGer8> bazhang:  Guess it's unavoidable.  PJs coming off, jeans going on.  To the store with me.
[04:33] <ronnie> LinuxEzGer8: are you sure your null cdr is null?
[04:33] <bazhang> tanker_: not sure--should we be? :}
[04:34] <Cubexombi> you can alt-F2 and "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste it there..
[04:34] <Nemesis02> Nickrud, thanks that fixed the problem, you were a lot of help :)
[04:34] <LinuxEzGer8> ronnie:  eh?

[04:35] <HolyAvenger> I have some issues which, I believe, are related to GNOME (or X). I installed x window and Xfce. Everything was working perfectly fine
[04:35] <crimsun> known issue on amd64.
[04:35] <nickrud> Nemesis02, you probably still have some mixed debian packages in your system, the origins button in synaptic will let you check
[04:35] <HolyAvenger> then I uninstalled xfce and installed Gnome
[04:35] <tanker_> it's nice ,
[04:35] <bazhang> Berto: that should be fixed now--plenty of folks were having problems with that :}

[04:37] <Cygnet> what if I'm not lucky?

[04:39] <Wing> Is there any easy way to reload the environment variables from /etc/environment without restarting the damned system?
[04:39] <Cygnet> I'll have to reboot and check what's in my bios then, thanks all
[04:39] <nickrud> HolyAvenger, hm, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:40] <earlmred> is there any way from linux to view what frequence memory is running at?
[04:40] <LinuxEzGer8> well, thanks for your help all.  I'm at 21 hours, 40 minutes of trying to get it to work and I give up.  I'll buy 1,000 CD-Rs tomorrow and try them.  Goodnight.
[04:41] <HolyAvenger> nickrud: I'm on Debian (ubuntu comes from it, as you might already know far better than me) and the #Debian channel (and server) died, so I came here hoping it could be solveable
[04:41] <bazhang> see you tomorrow LinuxEzGer8
[04:41] <Jay-Oh-En> how do i make kubuntu start up in silent mode everytime
[04:41] <Wing> HolyAvenger: #debian is still there.
[04:42] <Wing> HolyAvenger: /join #debian
[04:42] <nickrud> HolyAvenger, ah, I used to run sid and gnome was often broken from packages being out of sync, is that what you are running?
[04:42] <HolyAvenger> in this server? =S
 you don't happen to have a wacom tablet do you?
[04:42] <ronnie> LinuxEzGer8: you are so dilligent...
[04:42] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, with an argument on the kernel command line in the grub configuration file.
[04:42] <Wing> HolyAvenger: This server is just an alias to the Freenode network.
[04:42] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Nope, not at all. O_o
[04:42] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: could you help me?
 K, just trimming the fat on the xorg.conf
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> sethk: Dont you EVER sleep? ...  :)
[04:43] <sethk> Jack_Sparrow, sure, but I can answer questions while I'm sleeping  :)
[04:43] <Farquad> everytime my computer starts i have to run this command ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/isqlpluscti start) .. how can i get this command to run when my computer starts?
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> sethk: that explains alot
[04:43] <ogre> ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my <system folder. can anyone tell me how?
[04:43] <sethk> Farquad, add it to /etc/rc.local
[04:43] <doorknob60> frets on fire doesnt work to well on my comp either....
[04:44] <Farquad> thanks
[04:44] <sethk> Jack_Sparrow, hmm., I'm not sure how to take that  :)
[04:44] <doorknob60> and i got over 2600 fps on glxgears
[04:44] <AzureLight> Doorknob60: really slow?
[04:44] <doorknob60> ya
[04:44] <AzureLight> Odd...
[04:44] <doorknob60> and i got 1.5gb ram
[04:44] <nickrud> old people need less sleep
[04:44] <AzureLight> Ugh... so this is more complicated than is seems
[04:44] <doorknob60> and the lights shine down and arent very transparent and its hard to see the notwes
[04:44] <doorknob60> i suck at it even though i own at GH3 on my ps2
[04:45] <Cygnet> in my bios under video options I've got "primary video adapter <auto>", is that what I'm looking for? (to switch video from intel graphics to new card)
[04:45] <AzureLight> Mine is just REALLY laggy and the notes need to be hit before they even reach the line
[04:45] <AzureLight> Sound is fine though
[04:45] <doorknob60> mines pretty laggy, especially considering my specs
[04:45] <AzureLight> Lower your settings
[04:45] <nickrud> Cygnet, sounds right, should be an option to say pci card, not onboard
[04:46] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: i guess not eh
[04:46] <doorknob60> i lowered mine a lot
[04:46] <sethk> Cygnet, better to explicitly turn it off.
[04:46] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, sorry, I didn't even see your question.
[04:46] <Cygnet> I don't have any options other than auto right now since I haven't obtained nor installed any new cards yet
[04:46] <AzureLight> doorknow60: Set the FoF settings to the lowest you can and see if it's still slow
[04:47] <sethk> Cygnet, ok.  Auto should do what you need (turn it off if another is present), but personally I'd install the new card and then go back in the bios and set the on board video to off.
[04:47] <doorknob60> i set em to lowest except framerate
[04:47] <AzureLight> Hmm
[04:47] <doorknob60> cuz i dont want 1 frame per second :P
[04:47] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: could you help me... do what im trying to do?
[04:47] <AzureLight> Same here, and mine still doesn't work
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Not trying to run fof under wine or anything like that right
[04:47] <Xacarith> Having an issue with packet manager getting to the internet. or something.  Might have something to do with lack of internet connection when installing.
[04:47] <irreducibilis> doorknob60: Frets on Fire looks like crap anyways until you mod it to look like GH
[04:47] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, well, I don't know until you tell me what you are trying to do.
[04:47] <doorknob60> no i dloaded from repos
[04:47] <Cygnet> sethk, ok, thanks :)
[04:48] <AzureLight> I had problems with the repos one
[04:48] <irreducibilis> I have 4 mods that change the notes, backround, fretboard/neck, score counter, etc...
[04:48] <doorknob60> irred:well no point in modding it if it doesnt work right :P
[04:48] <AzureLight> The repos one wouldn't play for me
[04:48] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: to make every startup in silent mode and change the bootsplash screen background
[04:48] <AzureLight> I'd get list index out of range
[04:48] <irreducibilis> I got mine from SourceForge...
[04:48] <Rodri> hola
[04:48] <doorknob60> the repos one played for me but not too well
[04:48] <AzureLight> Same
[04:48] <Rodri> alguien que me pueda orentar
[04:48] <doorknob60> ill try the SF one then
[04:49] <mikedoty> How can I change my desktop resolution in KDE?  I've looked at all of the options, but I don't see anywhere that would let me change it.

[04:49] <irreducibilis> Woops.
[04:49] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, There is a quiet argument (on the kernel command line) to turn off most things.  There is another one for complete silence; let me see if I can find it.
 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48503/plain/  --> I've added a few options and switches, I'd recommend doing a back-up of your current xorg.conf <in terminal "sudo cd /etx/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" > then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and paste the new xorg over the old. and restart x.
[04:49] <Xacarith> using apt-get update all I get is Reading package lists... Done
[04:49] <Rodri> no se como
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: that is all that command does
[04:50] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: i meant so it shows all those text lines on startup i  think its called verbose?
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Rodri: solamente engles
[04:50] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Alright
[04:50] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, now I'm confused.  You want the lines, or you don't want the lines?
[04:50] <Xacarith> On this computer I get a list of packets it checks
[04:50] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: i do
[04:50] <mikedoty> Rodri:  Necesitas entrar "/join #ubuntu-es", por ejemplo
[04:51] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk:  i want the lines
[04:51] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, ok, go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove quiet, both on the kernel line and on a line by itself.
[04:51] <doorknob60> just wondering, what IRC programs do u guys use? i use konversation cuz it owns even though i use gnome
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: are you trying to upgrade?
[04:51] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: lol wtf "sudo: cd: command not found"
[04:51] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: thats all?
[04:51] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, yes.  The lines will also be written to /var/log/messages
 my goof typo
[04:51] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow My other computer comes up with a list of packets checked  Also update manager doesn't come up with any updates, saying my system is up to date.  When I installed from the same CD on this computer I had like 100+
[04:51] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, you can repeat the startup lines with the dmesg command
[04:52] <Cubexombi> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[04:52] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, although dmesg has a limited buffer size so old messages are eventually lost as new ones appear.
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: are the repos set the same on both?
[04:52] <Reilithion> What command will show me what programs are listening on what ports?
[04:52] <Xacarith> Also the only packets synaptic is loading in is the ones already installed
[04:52] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, but immediately after boot, do:    dmesg > captured-dmesg      to preserve the messages.
[04:52] <Cubexombi> AzureLight sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[04:52] <Jay-Oh-En> seth i mean like this on startup http://kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/26409-1.jpg
[04:53] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow Repos?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !repos
[04:53] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:53] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: and ill pastebin my grub and you edit it k please :)
[04:53] <AzureLight> cubexombi: Alright, done, now how do I restart x? XD
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: Perhaps, just explain what you are trying to do or install
[04:53] <Jay-Oh-En> AzureLight: cntrl alt backspace
[04:53] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, you change it, paste it, and we'll tell you whether or not it's correct.
[04:54] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow I'm trying to bothy update the system and install other programs, like xchat
[04:54] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: did you look at that image
[04:54] <Cubexombi> ctrl+alt+backspace.. if it doesn't restart, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:54] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, looking
[04:54] <winkman> Hi, i'm just about to wipe my ubuntu system for a complete re-installation- i've used APTonCd to get all the packages, copied over all of my home folder onto my flash drive- would you recommend me doing anything else?
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: installing xchat etc is easy.. but please define update the system?
[04:55] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: thats what i want it to look like on startup
[04:55] <Cubexombi> Azurelight if it doesn't restart, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf will restore your current config
[04:55] <tianshu> Hello? Is Ereryone here?
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: You might want to look at synaptic for your package management and enabling the extra repos.
[04:55] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow Your usual OS updates
[04:55] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: I got some warning box saying ubuntu is running in now graphics mode, and now I have a smaller resolution
[04:55] <tianshu> do you know chinese?
[04:56] <nickrud> winkman, sounds like a plan, I'm assuming you're gonna have a home partition on this next install?
[04:56] <tianshu> 有中国的么？
[04:56] <nickrud> !cn | tianshu
[04:56] <ubotu> tianshu: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[04:56] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, The startup scripts for ubuntu and gentoo are rather different.  It is not trivial to get exactly the same display.
[04:56] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, if you prefer the gentoo style, why not just run gentoo?
[04:56] <Cubexombi> AzureLight Hmm..  tahts a little odd I didn't mess with your resolutions.
[04:56] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow I have been just using synaptic packet manager to install xchat...  But when I search for it on the laptop nothing comes up.
[04:56] <tianshu> 有懂中文的么？
[04:56] <winkman> nickrud: I'll have the same setup, things have stuffed up with one of my latest updates - (my keyboard is majorly stuffing up in firefox, and speed has dramatically reduced)
[04:57] <wy> tianshu: me. But I can't input chinese right now
[04:57] <Cubexombi> Azurelight you can sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf will restore your old config.
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !info xchat
[04:57] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB
[04:57] <nickrud> Xacarith, system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are ticked, and the cd is not
[04:57] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: well i dont like gentoo and i know you can do this in kubuntu and ubuntu usually you press a key to make it like this on startup to see what things fail BUT i want it like this every    single    time
[04:57] <AzureLight> cubexombi: first, let me try glxgears
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: do you have universe enabled?
[04:57] <tubetop> howdy all
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: If not... enable it ... then update   then install
[04:58] <tubetop> does ubuntu server come with a active firewall?
[04:58] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, it won't be precisely the same, although it will be close.
[04:58] <AzureLight> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[04:58] <tubetop> sorry 7.10
[04:58] <AzureLight> lol
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[04:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:58] <doorknob60> brb
[04:58] <winkman> Joy-Oh-En: I think this is enabled/disabled by using the 'Quiet' option in boot
[04:58] <nickrud> tubetop, no, it's not running
[04:58] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: thats all i want :]
[04:58] <sethk> Jay-Oh-En, I'm trying to remember exactly where that switch is.  Hold on a few moments.
[04:58] <AzureLight> What did you do Cubexombi? XD
[04:58] <Jay-Oh-En> sethk: thanks
[04:58] <winkman> nickrud: so... this sounds ok?
[04:59] <Cubexombi> Azurelight um not enough to screw that up :) Looks like it doesn't like a few options
[04:59] <prozacmas> has anyone here installed ubuntu using an lvm ?
[04:59] <tubetop> does iptables have a line in init.d or somentin?
[04:59] <nickrud> winkman, yup, that's the basics. I have home on another partition, so I don't need the usb, but what you are doing is the same as I do (for what thats worth :)
[05:00] <winkman> mmk
[05:00] <AzureLight> Alright, restored my previous setting
[05:00] <Cubexombi> Azurelight, thats odd..
[05:00] <winkman> nickrud: Thanks for that...
[05:00] <tubetop> i just want to open CUPS printing for a USB printer on the servers
[05:00] <nickrud> tubetop, if you want to set up a firewall, install firestarter
[05:00] <winkman> nickrud: see you on the other side then... ;)
[05:00] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: What exactly did you add to it?
[05:00] <nickrud> winkman, we hope ;p
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tubetop: you can check your ports using grc.com and running shieldsup scan....
[05:01] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow Um, this might be a dumb question...  Where is it you want me to check on these things  In synaptic?
[05:01] <winkman> nickrud: No no... we WILL... *refuses to have ubuntu stuff up...*
[05:01] <tubetop> I can print from on the cups admin page...just cant connect from other boxes on the network.
[05:01] <sethk> Cubexombi, sometimes if the config file has glitches, it will fall back to a default resolution, so it can happen without specifically changing resolution related settings.
[05:01] <AzureLight> And I also have my Restricted Drivers enable btw
[05:01] <tubetop> i am guessing its a firewall
[05:01] <Matt__> hi, just installed ubuntu 7.1, upgraded from simplymepis 6.5, and now my computer does not see my wirless card, can anyone help me
[05:01] <bibstha> hi all, the restricted device manager doesnot detect my graphics card, ati HD 2400
[05:01] <bibstha> im on gusty
[05:01] <tubetop> although samba works fine and I didnt have to change the firewall for it
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: run this from a terminal..    cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop/sources.list.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)
[05:02] <sethk> tubetop, that's not likely to be an IP filter issue.  (The so called "firewall" is just an IP filter.)
[05:02] <nickrud> tubetop, firestarter is a tool for setting up the firewall rules, more accurately
[05:02] <irreducibilis> I wonder sometimes how people memorize all these commands...
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> iptable manager
 it may have been when I pulled out the wacom stuff, possible it didn;t like it ..
[05:02] <bibstha> anyway to make restricted device manager detect my card?
[05:02] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: I'm still curious, what were you throwing into my conf?
[05:03] <haymaker> well i got that all out of the way, downloading updates
[05:03] <AzureLight> I'm willing to try again
[05:03] <AzureLight> Just send me another conf
[05:03] <Cubexombi> Azurelight, basically stuff from this http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/46396-successful-ati-radeon-x600-driver-installation.html
[05:03] <manduski> hey guys how do i change my ubuntu login to log in on the terminal...no fancy graphics or anything, just terminal
[05:03] <tubetop> does firestarter work from bash or is it xprogram?
[05:04] <nickrud> tubetop, gui
[05:04] <Matt__> can someone help me get ubuntu to recognize my wireless card
[05:04] <nickrud> tubetop, has a wizard, and everything :)
[05:04] <haymaker> Matt__,  I can try.
[05:04] <soldats> manduski, google it seriously. youll get a very fast answer
[05:04] <tubetop> doh...I don't have any of the gui yet.  I was trying to avoid
[05:04] <haymaker> Matt__, what kind of card is it?
[05:04] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: odd, it should work...
[05:04] <bibstha> does SMK kernel have problems with ATI?
[05:04] <manduski> i did
[05:04] <bibstha> SMK = SMP
[05:04] <AzureLight> Maybe something is wrong with my driver?
[05:04] <soldats> manduski, i boot to cli every time
[05:05] <Matt__> a buffalo g54
[05:05] <nickrud> bibstha, no more than any other kernel
[05:05] <manduski> soldats, i did but i must be typing the wrong stuff
[05:05] <soldats> manduski, "boot cli in ubuntu"
 Though I'm currently running the open "radeon" driver I was able to squeeze about another hundred or so fps out of glxgears.. using more or less the same flags.
[05:05] <manduski> soldats, what is cli
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> tubetop: you can always man iptable
[05:05] <soldats> command line interface
[05:05] <bibstha> nickrud: yeah :(
[05:05] <tubetop> my understanding is that there is no good way to add the desktop to an existing install...stuff doesn't happen automagically like it does in an install
[05:05] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow ok did that
[05:05] <bibstha> nickrud: what happened to opensource drivers from ATI?
[05:05] <haymaker> Matt__, ok, can you open a terminal window and put sudo lspci and see if you can find your card and tell me what the name it gives is?
[05:06] <doorknob60> lol FoF ownz!
[05:06] <doorknob60> and i own at it
[05:06] <irreducibilis> Indeed.
[05:06] <doorknob60> the sourceforge one worked perfectly
[05:06] <manduski> soldats, thanx
[05:06] <Xacarith> jack_sparrow has sever things at the bottom about line commented out by installer beciase it vailed to farify
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: open that file..now on your desktop.. and you will see the sources that are enabled on that machine...  one will show universe.. and it will most likely have a # in front of that line
[05:06] <tubetop> okay....iptables -L has no rules at all
[05:06] <nickrud> bibstha, time , we're just waiting. I wouldn't expect anything till spring at the earliest
[05:06] <doorknob60> lol i need a wireless keyboard...

[05:06] <soldats> manduski, i think edit inittab to runlevel 3 instead of 5
[05:06] <irreducibilis> I can do Through the Fire and Flames on hard in Frets on Fire
[05:06] <AzureLight> Does that look useful?

[05:07] <wy> any ideas for configuring sound card in Gutsy on a T60? I tried some hints online, but nothing works until now.
[05:07] <doorknob60> i can barely do TtFaF on mediaum on Ps2 :O
[05:07] <silent_> hey guys, how do I completely disable xgl and all other nonessential compiz-fusion related things... all I want is gnome
[05:07] <soldats> manduski, a nasty way of doing it is to uninstall gdm "boot login manager"
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Xacarith: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list       and uncomment the ones you want to add.
[05:07] <doorknob60> and when i did i got 72% :P

[05:07] <irreducibilis> heh... I got 85% in FoF
[05:07] <Cubexombi> Azurelight, yup the key thing for you would be near the "fglrxinfo -display :0" part
[05:07] <Matt__> ok, i did that haymaker....not sure wich it would be...i have IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01), pretty sure that is it
[05:08] <AzureLight> Should I just do that whole process
[05:08] <manduski> soldats, thanks
[05:08] <AzureLight> ?
[05:08] <haymaker> Matt__, looks that way, 1 sec lemme see what i can find
[05:08] <bibstha> looks promising
[05:08] <AzureLight> The upgrade one, since that's what I did

[05:09] <irreducibilis> I wouldn't recommend using the built in importer though
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight...
[05:09] <Cubexombi> bibstha, one that isn't supported by the new driver I've got an rs200m (igp 330M/...)
[05:09] <irreducibilis> Its incredibly slow
[05:09] <doorknob60> how i do it then?
[05:09] <doorknob60> brb lemme switch to dual monitors
[05:09] <Nostahl> hi all
[05:09] <bibstha> in my box, restricted device manager doesnot even detect the driver
[05:10] <bibstha> weird
[05:10] <Nostahl> im in ubuntu 7.10 and set up my WG111 usb wireless adapter its connected to the network and all now but im not getting any dns numbers or auto dhcp and such
[05:10] <Cubexombi> <bibstha you may not need the restricted driver then, what card do you have?
[05:10] <Nostahl> how can i fix that?
[05:11] <doorknob60> ok im on dual monitors so how should i import my GH3 songs?
[05:11] <bibstha> Cubexombi: HD2400
[05:11] <irreducibilis> I don't do imports myself, I just go to the fretsonfire.net forums... links are posted there.
[05:11] <bibstha> Radeon
[05:11] <Cubexombi> Azurelight, step 10, near the "fglrxinfo -display :0" on that link you sent .. that should be a good way to check your drivers btw
[05:11] <doorknob60> ok
[05:11] <Nostahl> im in ubuntu 7.10 and set up my WG111 usb wireless adapter its connected to the network and all now but im not getting any dns numbers or auto dhcp and such
[05:11] <irreducibilis> You will have to join of cource to get to the song posting forums access...
[05:11] <Nostahl> how can i fix that?

[05:13] <sethk> back in a few, walking the dog ...
[05:13] <doorknob60> im on it ill register 1 sec
[05:13] <nickrud> tubetop, yes, but you'll probably want to install linux-generic to get a kernel more suited to desktop (if it's primarily a desktop, that is)
[05:13] <tubetop> ie...will it still autoconfigure everything?  ;)
[05:13] <haymaker> Matt__, can you join #matt
[05:14] <Nostahl> anyone available to help me figure out my wireless usb adapter?

[05:14] <jditto> i need help with usb mass storage.  when i logout drive get's ejected/umounted how can i stop this behavior.  i want to use this external drive as a backup medium.
[05:14] <wers> banshee's a bloatware. hehe
[05:15] <tubetop> actually the machine is mainly a server, but it does have a dvd burner and a coreduo2.2...so it could run the gui.  I just dont need open office and things like that ....so I went with a ubuntu server install
[05:15] <doorknob60> k im registered on forums
[05:15] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: I got Xgl, now to reboot
[05:16] <Cubexombi> AzureLight crosses fingers
[05:16] <nickrud> tubetop, you can install a simple desktop with xubuntu-desktop , keeps it light
[05:16] <irreducibilis> doorknob60: This is what I used for the GH3 songs: http://www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=13221 and this link looks good also: http://www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=5619
[05:16] <AzureLight> I'll be back! (Hopefully)
[05:16] <tubetop> will it get firestarter and cups configure on it too?
[05:18] <doorknob60> ty irred
[05:18] <nickrud> tubetop, you can install all of the stuff you need, and firestarter will run under xubuntu
[05:18] <Ttech> Does anyone know how to get dvd playing to work?
[05:18] <tubetop> k...thanks....thought I was being good by just running the server version....oh well :)
[05:19] <irreducibilis> doorknob60: When you are done with all those, the song posting forum is a nice place. I have all of the DragonForce songs I could find... They are pretty insane
[05:19] <tubetop> what is a good dvd burner for ubuntu....which does it run on X, gnome or KDE?
[05:19] <doorknob60> nice
[05:19] <AzureLight> Well crap
[05:19] <andry> anybody running ubuntu on macmini?
[05:19] <AzureLight> I've broken something
[05:19] <AzureLight> Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error.
[05:20] <Dr_willis> tubetop,  what do you expect it to run on? just the console? check freshmeat.net perhaps. theres tools that do that.
[05:20] <doorknob60> that cant be good...
[05:20] <andry> lirc setup drives me crazy
[05:20] <AzureLight> Not to mention when I login it flashes with a black X as the cursor for a couple seconds
[05:20] <AzureLight> And glxgears crashed my sessions
[05:20] <irreducibilis> doorknob60: To install the songs, go into the data folder of the Frets on fire and copy the song files into a folder there... the song and guitar.ogg and then the ini and mid file
[05:21] <AzureLight> Disable Restricted Drivers?
[05:21] <irreducibilis> Each song gets its own folder
[05:21] <doorknob60> k
[05:21] <doorknob60> this will be cool cuz i cant play GH3 right now cuz im recording something on the TV

[05:25] <mariamystar> brylie: no
[05:25] <mariamystar> at least i dont think so

[05:29] <idefine> is there a way to have all files in a folder always belong to the same group...so if a user is editing a file or creating a new file it will be created with the group set to something?
[05:29] <r00723r0> roger
[05:29] <nickrud> mariamystar, you should run that thing crimsun asked for

[05:32] <mariamystar> i know this soudns stupid
[05:32] <mariamystar> but how could i do i run the program?
[05:32] <mariamystar> i'm still pretty new to linux
[05:32] <manduski> nickrud, what file in /etc/events.d?
[05:32] <sainzeo> mariamystar: which program are you attempting to run?
[05:32] <rubydiamond> What is the best radio player for ubuntu
[05:32] <nickrud> mariamystar, download it to your Desktop, then in a terminal paste the following: type cd ~/Destop && chmod u+x alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[05:33] <mariamystar> alsa-info.sh
[05:33] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  you mean a real hardware radio card?

[05:33] <doorknob60> hey wooot i opened a rar file with ubuntu archime manager and it worked! since when?
[05:33] <AzureLight> Thank god for live CDs
[05:33] <doorknob60> :P
[05:33] <AzureLight> I managed to kill my computer
[05:33] <doorknob60> yay time to try FoF :D
[05:34] <AzureLight> Unless there is still hope
[05:34] <AzureLight> Cubexombi, you still here?
[05:34] <FruitieX> AzureLight: What did you manage to do ? :D
[05:34] <Cubexombi> AzureLight: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48502/ ---> your original xorg.conf if you need it,
[05:34] <Cubexombi> yup
[05:34] <rubydiamond> Dr_willis, I want simple radio player like xmms
[05:35] <idefine> TTilus: thanks!
[05:35] <crweb> 64bit flash plugin?
[05:35] <AzureLight> Yes... now how do I get it back without being able to login, not even to my root account?
[05:35] <idefine> TTilus: what is iirc? didn't get that part
[05:35] <andry_good> what is a good channel to discuss lirc?
[05:35] <Cubexombi> rubydiamond then why don't you use xmms for your streams?
[05:35] <Dr_willis> xmms is a media player. If you want somthing that can play shoutcast.com streams and so forth. there is xmms, or bmpx, amarok, juk and others..
[05:35] <manduski> nickrud, to modify the runlevel which file do i do it in?
[05:35] <Ttech> Anyone?
[05:35] <rubydiamond> i heard xmms on ubuntu sucks
[05:35] <Dr_willis> rubydiamond,  i say try bmpx
[05:35] <Dr_willis> xmms has gotten out of date.. and has lots of issues these days
[05:35] <rico> hey guys. my DVD drive won't auto mount when I insert a new CD. where should I start looking?
[05:35] <AzureLight> Hold on... let me give a synopsis of what I did
[05:36] <manduski> nickrud, i guess what i'm trying to get at is how do i modify the file to change the runlevel for boot to command line
[05:36] <rico> I can mount it manually fine.
[05:36] <Cubexombi> Xmms is the same as xmms, it's just old. still does the job though
[05:36] <nickrud> manduski, changing the runlevels is pointless in ubuntu, by default 2-5 are identical. If you change that, you can edit rc-default
[05:36] <what_if> why can I not grow my Raid6 array with mdadm? I get the error :  "Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md0: Invalid argument"
[05:36] <brylie> mariamystar, what type of audio are you wanting to hear? Do system sounds work?

[05:37] <AzureLight> I ran sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl in the terminal, restarted my computer, nautilis crashed, so I disabled my restricted drivers and restarted, and now I can't login, the screen flickers for a few seconds and then goes back to the login screen. Thank god I have my Live CD.
[05:38] <nickrud> mariamystar, I got a pastebin link back
[05:38] <mariamystar> hm
[05:38] <mariamystar> let me re-run it
[05:38] <manduski> nickrud, i opened up that file, but i can't identify where i change the runlevel....and i read that in order to start ubuntu on console login you have to change runlevel from 5 to 3
[05:38] <midgetnator> i need some help....

[05:38] <mariamystar> okay
[05:38] <mariamystar> this is my new response from the scriipt:

[05:39] <nickrud> manduski, where it says telinit 2 , that's where the runlevel is set. Ubuntu defaults to 2
[05:39] <Cubexombi> AzureLight if you want to start from basics and revert all teh way back to fresh you can always "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but thats going to just get you back to square one
[05:39] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Do I do that in recovery mode?
[05:39] <nickrud> mariamystar, then what you do is copy that link into a post here, with crimsun's name in it so it gets his attention
[05:39] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: And will it work? :D
[05:39] <manduski> nickrud, there are two places for that, edit both?
[05:40] <sir_diplomatico> I'm trying to install ubuntu, and it's stalling at the initial orange progress bar before install - I have a feeling it's my FX5200 nvidia card causing this. Any hlep?

[05:40] <sir_diplomatico> help*
[05:40] <mariamystar> Crimsun: the script told me to go to http://pastebin.ca/819823
[05:40] <manduski> thnx

[05:40] <crimsun> mariamystar: do you intend the sblive to be your default audio device?
 it will put your xorg.conf back to it's ORIGINAL state, like a fresh install..  I'm looking for a good x600 how to just for compatibility
[05:40] <mariamystar> crimsun: yes i do
[05:40] <idefine> TTilus: ah, ok. thanks....started googling it and was confused. hha.
[05:41] <Cubexombi> ^-- for afterwords
[05:41] <midgetnator> Hello guys ... ive been trying to find a solution for this issue and already tried google but nothing... i cannot play dvd's with totem (gstreamer) it says : "Could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file..." I already installed the libraries to play dvds libdvdread, libcss2, w32codecs etc
[05:41] <crimsun> mariamystar: then you need to do this:  echo "options snd-intel8x0 index=-2"|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[05:41] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Alright, that's good enough for me, and I can input that in recovery mode, right?
[05:42] <Cubexombi> yup, heck you should be ok if you just alt f2
[05:42] <crimsun> mariamystar: after a reboot, you'll be fine.
[05:42] <AzureLight> From the Live CD?
[05:42] <T1m0thy> Why does Firefox stop responding so often?
[05:42] <AzureLight> Because that's what I'm using right now
[05:42] <TTilus> graah!  still no luck  simply running updates to freshly installed gutsy breaks it down somehow, it boots fine, but i cant log in, nautilus (or occasionally some other prog, like gnome-panel) hangs and all i get is mouse cursor on solid background color
[05:42] <mariamystar> crimsun: thank you, for you help. if i don't sign back on that means it worked. thank you so much
[05:42] <sir_diplomatico> Are there NVidia drivers with the ubuntu installation? It keeps hanging on me at the orange progress bar during installation.

 I'm not even sure your card supports teh closed ati driver
[05:43] <sir_diplomatico> infinitycircuit: what do you mean by only the free drivers are installed?
[05:43] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Or for gaming, should I just backup my home folder (since it's all I need) and re-install Ubuntu and leave room to dual boot windows?

[05:44] <AzureLight> Although dual booting gave me nothing but problems in the past
[05:44] <AzureLight> Because XP doesn't detect my network card anymore O_o

[05:49] <midgetnator> ubuntu is debian based nostahl
[05:50] <Dekkard> midgetnator ask  first
[05:50] <midgetnator> Dekkar i already did
[05:50] <midgetnator> Hello guys ... ive been trying to find a solution for this issue and already tried google but nothing... i cannot play dvd's with totem (gstreamer) it says : "Could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file..." I already installed the libraries to play dvds and everything
[05:50] <Dekkard> ask the real question
[05:50] <midgetnator> yeah how can i play them
[05:50] <AzureLight> Cubexombi: Now, I ran the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the Live CD
[05:50] <Nostahl> midgetnator i said you should try sudo
[05:50] <AzureLight> But does it work when I reboot my PC to run normally?
[05:51] <AzureLight> Or do I need to run it from recovery mode?
[05:51] <Dekkard> dont you need ffmpeg to do dvd.. and the dvdcss libs?
[05:51] <Cubexombi> AzureLight- nope.. you've gotta do it from the machien while "borked"
[05:51] <midgetnator> have them dekkard
[05:51] <AzureLight> borked?
[05:51] <Cubexombi> not working..
[05:51] <midgetnator> dekkard: already installed them
[05:51] <Dekkard> hmm
[05:51] <Dekkard> is it an original dvd.. or a burned one?
[05:51] <Nostahl> its mentioning permissions
[05:51] <|_ocke> should I try installing 7.10 64bit on a celeron 420 1.6ghz 64bit processor?
[05:51] <midgetnator> dekkard: burned
[05:51] <AzureLight> Wait... what exactly so I do?
[05:51] <Nostahl> you should try sudo to open the dvd program midgetnator
[05:52] <Dekkard> try an original
[05:52] <Cubexombi> when you're sitting at the craptastic broken x display, you can hit ctrl+alt+f2 and it should breing you to a console login
[05:52] <midgetnator> nostahl ill try it right now
[05:52] <Dekkard> ive found it wont recognize some burned dvds.. but will play real ones
[05:52] <AzureLight> I can't login to anything though
[05:52] <AzureLight> I can get to my login screen though, is that all I need?
[05:53] <Nostahl> omg its mcgyver
[05:53] <ayan> 1
[05:53] <ayan> 2
[05:53] <Nostahl> missed you why did you stop makin your show :P
[05:53] <ayan> 3
[05:53] <ayan> 4
[05:53] <ayan> 5
[05:53] <ayan> 6
[05:53] <ayan> 7
[05:53] <ayan> 8
[05:53] <ayan> 9
[05:53] <f10> osn
[05:53] <McGyver> #iosn
[05:53] <midgetnator> Dekkard not recognize burned ones?
[05:54] <Cubexombi> Azurelight any way you can get to a term is good, it should bring you to a terminal window though if you hit ctrl-alt-f2, otherwise when you restart the machine you can hit esc at grub and choose recovery mode
[05:54] <McGyver> # iosn
[05:54] <AzureLight> Alright, recovery mode it is
[05:54] <AzureLight> Since I know that I can access it
[05:54] <Dekkard> on my box it didnt recognize a ..erm... non original dvd
[05:54] <AzureLight> And this does remove the xgl stuff, right?
[05:54] <Dekkard> it will play originals though.. you know.. no green tint..
[05:54] <midgetnator> damn :(
[05:55] <Cubexombi> AzureLight- well it will take it's place, we can purge the old packages later
[05:55] <midgetnator> dekkard: i wont be able to watch porn then
[05:55] <midgetnator> hehe
[05:55] <AzureLight> Ok
[05:55] <AzureLight> Here goes nothing
[05:55] <ladynikon> will this work to as a launcher in ubuntu? "export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/ladynikon/.cedega2 && $CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux"
[05:55] <AzureLight> At least I can count on the Live CD to get back here if it doesn't work ;)
[05:55] <Law506> how do you edit the startup programs.. i am not having luck with the sessions startup tab
[05:55] <Cubexombi> true
[05:56] <mky> #join #ischool
[05:56] <AzureLight> Wish me luck!
[05:56] <chalcedny> does anyone know what the latest vim is in ubuntu feisty?
[05:56] <Cubexombi> AzureLight - just in case you' get back in and I don't answer - I'm gone for a smoke.
[05:56] <bigmatt> need some help.  nobody's answering in #ubuntustudio but i am downloading the hardy release alpha1.  does anybody know if ubuntustudio had support for .divx?
[05:56] <portablejim> AzureLight: yea.
[05:56] <AzureLight> Haha, alright
[05:56] <Cubexombi> AzureLight - and good luck
[05:58] <chalcedny> does anyone know what the latest vim is in ubuntu feisty?
[05:59] <doorknob60> I <3 FoF
[05:59] <chalcedny> could anyone running feisty please do  vim --version | head -n 1  and tell me what the version number is?
[05:59] <bigmatt> chalcedny: try google yet?
[05:59] <doorknob60> VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 (2007 May 12, compiled Oct  5 2007 00:33:19)
[06:00] <doorknob60> oh wait im on gusty :P
[06:00]  * chalcedny smiles
[06:00] <doorknob60> nvm
[06:00] <chalcedny> might be ok .. that's what i have too ;)
[06:01] <portablejim> chalcedny: try packages.ubuntu.com
[06:01] <Varka> chalcedny, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/editors/vim
[06:01] <chalcedny> ty portablejim and Varka
[06:01] <chalcedny> i'm trying to debug vim
[06:02] <midgetnator> i like gutsy
[06:02] <sethk> chalcedny, what's vim doing that needs debugging?
[06:02] <seren6ipity> Hi. I've been trying to get Google Talk work with wine on ubuntu (gutsy) but every time I get "Connection Error" after giving credentials and the application hangs. I'm using the wine-dev version.
[06:03] <seren6ipity> Can anyone please help on this Gtalk issue?
[06:04] <skelter> hey all - having a strange issue with installing ubuntu (or any other linux) and soft raid, if anyone has the time and know-how to help me
[06:04] <portablejim> skelte: what is soft raid?
[06:04] <skelter> software raid
[06:05] <skelter> through the mobo chipset rather than a raid card
[06:05] <sethk> skelter, what problem are you having?
[06:05] <Varka> skelter, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[06:05] <clsu> im new here
[06:05] <angerbuntu> anyone care to help me solve my problem with DVD burning?  it keeps telling me to insert a blank or rewritable disc in
[06:05] <skelter> varka, thanks, but i'm having errors beyond that howto
[06:05] <FluxD> !w32codecs
[06:05] <ubotu> The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:05] <angerbuntu> i have brand new discs,  and my system recognizes my drive
[06:06] <Jangari> what's this 'hardy'?
[06:06] <skelter> sethk, in the partition wizard, i try to make a raided set of disks, using three equally sized partitions on three disks in raid 5
[06:06] <AzureLight> Cubexombi, let me know if you are here
[06:06] <skelter> won't let me, says that i need 3 disks and only 1 is available
[06:06] <skelter> i see that it thinks the 2nd two disks are already being used for a raid, called md0
[06:07] <skelter> i try to delete it, and it tells me it's in use? this is in the install wizard, booted from a CD
[06:07] <Jangari> is a new release coming out sometime soon, codenamed hardy something?
[06:07] <portablejim> Jangari: it is the next version of ubuntu that is planned for release in April 2008.
[06:07] <seren6ipity> Hi. I'm trying to use Gtalk with wine on ubuntu(gutsy) but every time the application fails with "connection error" and hangs. Can any one please help me with this?
[06:07] <angerbuntu> anyone???
[06:07] <sethk> skelter, does mount show anything for the /dev corresponding to that drive?
[06:07] <AzureLight> Is there a way to format a USB drive?
[06:07] <angerbuntu> i cant burn DVDs for some reason :-/
[06:07] <skelter> sethk, i have no terminal to do fun things like mount
[06:07] <AzureLight> Because a lot of files are lacking permissiobs
[06:08] <AzureLight> *permissions
[06:08] <Jangari> nice, portablejim, hardy what?
[06:08] <sethk> skelter, sure you do, if you booted the live cd.
[06:08] <skelter> this is the alternate cd
[06:08] <clsu> i cant run dsmod on my server
[06:08] <Jangari> hardy hyena?
[06:08] <skelter> the live cd is having trouble
[06:08] <skelter> possibly related to this issue, possibly not
[06:08] <portablejim> Jangari: Hardy Herron
[06:08] <clsu> hey
[06:08] <sethk> skelter, what I've done in your situation is to use a conventional partition for the installation, get the core system up and running (which doesn't take a whole lot of space), then set up raid before installing the various packages I need.
[06:08] <Jangari> aha
[06:08] <Varka> skelter, it seems you never read that howto...
[06:09] <skelter> varka, yes i have read the howto
[06:09] <AzureLight> Using GPARTED, can I reformat a USB drive?
[06:09] <clsu> kill linux
[06:09] <skelter> varka i get to the point where it says to do "sudu dmraid -ay"
[06:09] <AzureLight> I can get in in there but I can't see anyway to delete the current partition
[06:09] <AzureLight> or make a new one
[06:10] <portablejim> Jangari: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron
[06:10] <skelter> and then there is an issue with the raid45 driver not existing (raid456 replaced it in the new kernel)
[06:10] <skelter> but that is neither here nor there
[06:10] <skelter> sethk, i did that, and when i finish and reboot, grub screws up
[06:10] <skelter> in stage 1.5
[06:10] <skelter> grub error 2
[06:10] <sethk> skelter, sounds like you have more than one issue here.
[06:10] <skelter> a web search suggested reinstalling :\
[06:11] <Jangari> a real question then: i was told to use smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=me to mount a server, but it's throwing up 'smbmount command does not exist'
[06:11] <sethk> let me check on what grub error two means.
[06:11] <skelter> sethk, yes, but i am pretty sure they're all related to the partitioning and messing up my raid settings
[06:11] <skelter> the motherboard chipset has a raid utility which i have fiddled with
[06:11] <jiawen> Can I ask a question about the Openoffice/theme bug here?
[06:11] <sethk> skelter, no, if you have a conventional partition, no matter what raid is doing, grub should be happy.
[06:11] <hiuo> p[i
[06:12] <sethk> skelter, of course a bug can invalidate logic, but that's still a good bet
[06:12] <bigmatt> wow...this is taking forever to move my 165 gigs of stuff....grrr
[06:12] <skelter> sethk, well, it finished installing cleanly on the first hard disk, then i get that error 2
[06:12] <bigmatt> ntfs support is right away, right?  i dont have to install ntfs-3g?
[06:13] <sethk> skelter, the docs say that error 2 is caused by a configuration problem.  Can you put your menu.lst on the pastebin?
[06:13] <sethk> bigmatt, you don't need it for read only access
[06:13] <bigmatt> sethk: i need read and write for it
[06:14] <skelter> sethk, this is remote debugging at the moment. i left campus a little while ago
[06:14] <skelter> sethk, how would i access menu.lst?
[06:14] <sethk> skelter, hard to do much, then.
[06:14] <sethk> skelter, it's in /boot/grub
[06:15] <skelter> sethk, the livecd isn't starting, so it's difficult to look at such things
[06:15] <sethk> skelter, if you can't boot, you have to boot the install cd in it's rescue incarnation
[06:15] <filmgeek> chown problems with an hfs+ drive that's not journaled.  noob needs help.
[06:15] <sethk> skelter, wait, the _live_ cd isn't starting?
[06:15] <skelter> that's right
[06:15] <skelter> it has started in the past
[06:15] <skelter> but no longer :<
[06:16] <skelter> in the past being the past two days, since this is a new box
[06:16] <tarelerulz> How do you tell what is installed on your system.  There are a lot of program and libs. I remember Ubuntu 7.04 have something that showed you what you had installed is there anything like that for Ubuntu 7.10.
[06:16] <Cubexombi> AzureLight - man it is snowing really had out there..
[06:16] <sethk> skelter, you have some sort of hardware problem.  Nothing at the software level can stop it from booting from the CD
[06:16] <skelter> i am pretty sure the problem lies in the motherboard settings somewhere
[06:17] <skelter> for instance, when i first tried to run the live cd, nothing would happen. eventually i foudn i could disable the splash screen by changing splash to nosplash in the boot command
[06:17] <filmgeek> An external HD won't let me read/write to it.  I've tried chown, but it's not working
[06:17] <clsu> linux sucks
[06:17] <JohnRobert> heh
[06:17] <skelter> then that would hang too, until i enabled the raid controllers in the bios setup
[06:17] <sethk> clsu, really?  That's so enlightening, I never knew that.
[06:17] <JohnRobert> it does tbh, it just doesn't suck as much as windows
[06:17] <skelter> so for a while i was ablet o boot off the live cd fine
[06:18] <sethk> skelter, It may make sense to try the text mode install from the alternate cd.  There are too many variables here.
[06:18] <JohnRobert> I've been using linux as my only OS for about 6 years now
[06:18] <skelter> sethk, that is the kind of install that i did that worked
[06:18] <sethk> skelter, if it were a mother board or bios setting, why would it ever work?
[06:18] <skelter> sethk, but then grub had issues
[06:18] <JohnRobert> and there's a shi* load wrong with it...but it's still far better than windows
[06:18] <sethk> skelter, the grub issues can be fixed.
[06:18] <clsu> solaris is the best
[06:18] <JohnRobert> solaris isn't free
[06:19] <skelter> sethk, except my computer stopped liking the live cd...
[06:19] <Cubexombi> AzureLight - you back to halfway to normal?
[06:19] <sethk> clsu, I've used solaris for many years, and it has some definite strengths, but it also has weeknesses.
[06:19] <tarelerulz> johnRobert, what do you use Linux for ?  What do you do mainly with it? just asking
[06:19] <Jangari> grr, sometimes apt-get install fails to download while the synaptic package manager does it perfectly
[06:19] <Cubexombi> primus sucks
[06:19] <JohnRobert> tarelerulz: I use it as my desktop OS for work/play/whatever
[06:19] <sethk> skelter, download the fedora rescue cd
[06:19] <JohnRobert> therefore I use it all the time
[06:19] <skelter> ah good point, i have the fedora cd that can do rescue mode
[06:19] <JohnRobert> therefore I notice the bugs :p
[06:20] <skelter> so i can get menu.lst
[06:20] <sethk> JohnRobert, I just started a new job which is 100% linux, so I'm free of windows, even for email.  To me that's great.
[06:20] <JohnRobert> what's really worrying is ubuntu is becoming bloatware at the moment
[06:20] <sethk> skelter, yes, exactly
[06:20] <skelter> sethk, are you going to be around for a while? i don't want to keep you away from life
[06:20] <sethk> JohnRobert, true, but there are other distros that are more oriented to being light weight.
[06:20] <skelter> sethk, but if you were going to be here for a while i'd go back to campus (5 min drive) to try to deal with this
[06:21] <JohnRobert> sethk: I like ubuntu though, and it seems like my poor old laptop can't keep up any more :/
[06:21] <prozacmas> hi
[06:21] <sethk> skelter, I can wait a bit, but I'm starting to fade, and I think I'll be only semiconscious in about 1/2 hour.
[06:21] <prozacmas> im excited....
[06:21] <JohnRobert> and I don't like xfce :p
[06:21] <prozacmas> im installing gibbons on my macbook
[06:21] <sethk> skelter, probably makes more sense to look at it tomorrow.
[06:21] <skelter> alright
[06:21] <skelter> thanks for your help
[06:21] <sethk> JohnRobert, you can do a stripped down install and be selective in the packages you run.
[06:21] <sethk> JohnRobert, and run windowmaker.
[06:22] <tarelerulz> The reason I ask is most use it for more technical stuff.  They write code , do web servers and so on. I use it  for playing/hobbie and day to day OS. trying to get every I want in an os. Still working on that haha.  Most what i do is surf the web, download movies ,music and look around for a new program i can install
[06:22] <sethk> JohnRobert, on one box, kde comes up in 26 seconds, and windowmaker comes up in three seconds.
[06:22] <bigmatt> JohnRobert: me neither, ur not the only one
[06:22] <Cubexombi> JohnRobert: I'd almost agree with you there, though i remember having to install all sorts of  apps after thumbing through god knows how many broken or old how to's .. I'll settl efor a little bloat so long as I can take my Os with me on a 1gb thumbstick
[06:22] <JohnRobert> sethk: you reckon it's metacity at fault?
[06:23] <sethk> JohnRobert, well, I'm really just guessing, of course, but it's certainly a possibility and it's pretty easy to find out.
[06:23] <JohnRobert> heh
[06:23] <Znuff> Hi. Anyone has experience with broadcom 43xx? Followed the instructions on the wiki but it still doesn't work. It connects to my Access Point but it doesn't get a DHCP Lease. Even tried to set the IPs manually but it still won't work. Also the "driver" seems to be crashing now and then...
[06:23] <JohnRobert> I think Xorg could be optimised somehow
[06:23] <tarelerulz> Cubexombi , You take your os with you on a thubmstrick ?  How has that been working out for you ?
[06:24] <JohnRobert> when I first got this laptop, it had windows on it...windows moved around the screen smother in windows than they ever have on linux
[06:24] <sethk> JohnRobert, certainly possible.  Running window maker would let you decide that (1) it's not really the window manager, it's X or (2) it's not really X, it's the window manager or (3) both contribute.
[06:24] <JohnRobert> I don't like the way people tiptoe around that fact
[06:24] <JohnRobert> :/
[06:24] <JohnRobert> it's probably X
[06:24] <sethk> JohnRobert, that's an issue with linux, yes.
[06:25] <JohnRobert> yeah I read about that
[06:25] <sethk> JohnRobert, OSX is as much better than windows, as windows is better than X
[06:25] <Znuff> my compiz stuff runs very fast, btw
[06:25] <JohnRobert> technically it's better this way apparently
[06:25] <prozacmas> has anyone here installed ubuntu on their mac ?
[06:25] <sethk> JohnRobert, it's a trade off.  Effects consume significant resources.
[06:25] <JohnRobert> heh
[06:25] <JohnRobert> I don't have compiz on or anything silly like that
[06:25] <JohnRobert> :p
[06:25] <bigmatt> the only way to run windows xp is to have the Longhorn Transformation Pack installed along with it.  the GUI looks much better (better themes_
[06:25] <JohnRobert> anyway
[06:26] <Znuff> And I only have an Intel GMA 915 on my laptop. Windows move extremly smooth.
[06:26] <JohnRobert> beter than my i810 Znuff
[06:26] <Znuff> Oh jesus, how old is that?
[06:26] <mybestlover> hello
[06:26] <JohnRobert> 3 years?
[06:26] <JohnRobert> I bought a bottom of the range model
[06:26] <JohnRobert> probably where I went wrong
[06:26] <mybestlover> 有汉语吗
[06:26] <Cubexombi> tarelerulz- pretty good actually, I've got one stick that just a plain feisty live CD with persistance, every now and then I have to remove a locked X file, (when I switch from hardware to hardware) but at work all my workstations are the same. (persistant live mode rules) my other stick is a reconstructed build that has cisco VPN built in so I can connect to work from what ever hardware has a compatible ethernet card... not to mention the bonus geek p
[06:26] <Cubexombi> oints it gives.
[06:26] <Znuff> JohnRobert, uhm... my laptop is 3 years old and it has gma 915
[06:26] <JohnRobert> (ibm r50e)
[06:27] <Znuff> But my laptop is currently in broken state :-( Got ACPI problems.
[06:27] <speeddemon8803> I have an intel 945GM graphics card, compiz works great on it, no problems at all :)
[06:27] <Znuff> I'll get a new laptop soon with X3100 from Intel
[06:27] <sethk> Cubexombi, oints?   :)   (max line length)
[06:28] <prozacmas> has anyone here installed ubuntu on their mac ?
[06:28] <sethk> Znuff, if the laptop has acpi, it has acpi problems.  :)
[06:28] <sethk> prozacmas, which mac?
[06:28] <TTilus> prozacmas: i havent but i happen to know people who have
 whoops - geek points. I mean really OS on a stick.
[06:28] <tarelerulz> Cubexomobi, that sounds pretty cool.  I would like to try that out myself.  I don't want to use it as an os ,but use the usb thumbstick as an install media .  Rather then  burning cd all the time. I mean thumbsticks are getting  big. the last I saw was 8 gigs
[06:29] <TTilus> prozacmas: on powerbook
[06:29] <sethk> Cubexombi, I know, I'm just giving you a hard time to keep myself awake.  :)
[06:29] <jiawen> youderenyou
[06:29] <prozacmas> sethk macbook or macbook pro
[06:29] <Znuff> sethk, heh, all computer have acpi now, you know? :P
 don't blame you..
[06:29] <sethk> tarelerulz, I saw a 32 gig on Friday.  Amazing.
[06:29] <ogre> ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my <system folder. can anyone tell me how?
[06:29] <sethk> Znuff, yes, I know, and I was exagurating, but only a little
[06:29] <prozacmas> sethk i am installing ubuntu 7.10 on my macbook pro as we speak
[06:29] <speeddemon8803> 32?!
[06:30] <speeddemon8803> whoa
[06:30] <tarelerulz> Don't tease me Sethk . that is very nice
[06:30] <SpookyET> I created a tar.gaz backup of my entire linux system. When I want to restore it, how do I delete all files before it is untared?
[06:30] <sethk> prozacmas, I've only done it on a G3/G4.
[06:30]  * speeddemon8803 looks at my 4 gig and cries
[06:30] <skelter> with compiz fusion my taskbar randomly freezes :\
[06:30] <Znuff> sethk, it just started to randomly reset yesterday. Vista and/or XP would randomly crash whenever I touched it. Linux was hanging... Tried acpi=off and now it seems stable.
[06:30] <sethk> tarelerulz, I think it was about $450.  Which is of course very high, but prices come down quickly.
[06:30] <skelter> i liked beryl better
[06:30] <sethk> Znuff, sounds like an interrupt race condition.
[06:30] <AzureLight> Cubexombi, you back yet?
[06:31] <Cubexombi> tarelerulz - yup. it's perfect, so long as you can boot and have USB 2.0, (my laptop's only got usb1.1 and .. well don't even bother going there.. )
[06:31] <AzureLight> Yay
[06:31] <AzureLight> You are
[06:31] <Znuff> sethk, yeah but.. just like that out of the blue?
[06:31] <sethk> Znuff, if you can do without acpi (which probably means you don't run on battery), then there isn't a problem.
[06:31] <Cubexombi> AzureLight - you back to halfway to normal?
[06:31] <AzureLight> Nope
[06:31] <AzureLight> It didn't work
[06:31] <Cubexombi> where you stuck?
[06:31] <sethk> Znuff, race conditions are notorious for hiding out for a long time, even years, and then appearing.  Something ages, responds just a nanosecond earlier or later, and boom.
[06:31] <AzureLight> I think it's a Nautilus error
[06:31] <sethk> Znuff, or crosstalk develops
[06:32] <sethk> Znuff, it's odd, but it does happen occasionally.
[06:32] <tarelerulz>  I still dream of the day I can use an usb  thumb-stick as a install medium .  I am not dreaming am I ?
[06:32] <AzureLight> Either way, I've already began backing up files
[06:32] <speeddemon8803> Could also be a possibility when things like static electicity come into play as well right sethk?
[06:32] <Cubexombi> well here// do this.. get to the login in screen and choos failsafe xterm - (bottom Left of teh login window)
[06:32] <AzureLight> But permissions are a bitch :(
[06:32] <gerro> tarelerulz: umm why can't you use a usb stick?
[06:32] <andry_good> where do I go to get help with configuring lirc in macmini?
[06:32] <AzureLight> I have a modded login window
[06:32] <AzureLight> So it's not there XD
[06:32] <sethk> speeddemon8803, indeed, you can have something that was exposed to static show up with a problem long after the actual incident.
[06:33] <Znuff> sethk, yeah, but mine usually reboots only when I touch it :P
[06:33] <speeddemon8803> <---computer tech..know ALL about that crap
[06:33] <speeddemon8803> lol
[06:33] <gerro> I switched gdm to slim but now I can't figure out how to switch it back...
 I can find you the how to
[06:33] <SpookyET> I created a tar.gaz backup of my entire linux system. When I want to restore it, how do I delete all files before it is untared?
[06:33] <sethk> speeddemon8803, there are some great microscope photos you can find on the net showing the kind of degradation that happens.
[06:33] <Znuff> sethk, if I don't touch it - it runs perfectly for days
[06:33] <tarelerulz> Gerro, I have try to find something on it ,but all the stuff is for Using the usb thumb-stick as a os houseing .  Not an install mediem.
 fun Times!
[06:33] <speeddemon8803> seth, I've seen them, I've even had it happen to me so I know what it can do
[06:33] <sethk> Znuff, well, then, don't touch it and you won't have any problems.  Ssh into it from another machine.  :)
[06:33] <AzureLight> Yeah, I'm just gonna wipe my hd clean
[06:33] <speeddemon8803> I've had MELTED chips b4 because of static electricity
[06:33] <AzureLight> And start from scratch
[06:33] <gerro> tarelerulz: what do you want it to do?
[06:33] <Znuff> sethk, I *do* need to do stuff on it :P
[06:34] <sethk> speeddemon8803, you don't really need the photos, but I find them interesting.
 with the liove CD it's the same thing
[06:34] <tarelerulz> Cubexombi , for using a usb  thumbstrick as an install mediem
[06:34] <speeddemon8803> oh, they are very intersting seth :)
[06:34] <Znuff> sethk, I was thinking to run Windows in VMWare now :-/ I need Windows stuff but I can't run it
[06:34] <sethk> Znuff, well, that's not very reasonable.  You want to actually be able to use it?  :)
 yup
[06:34] <AzureLight> What directory are Thunderbirds stuff kept in?
 x can't be that broiken..
[06:34] <sethk> Znuff, vmware on an already flaky machine is often a recipe for producing suicidal ideation.
[06:34] <Znuff> sethk, I can't do DTP over a network connection :D
[06:34] <speeddemon8803> I saw a chip on the internet one day, dripping....
[06:34] <AzureLight> I don't think it's X though
[06:34] <tarelerulz> Well,  Cubexombi post  way
[06:35] <sethk> Znuff, details, details, don't confuse me with facts.
[06:35] <tarelerulz> I will read it for sure
[06:35] <Znuff> sethk, planning to buy a HP Compaq 6720s now... Decent specs and pretty good price.
[06:35] <gerro> tarelerulz: hmm you mean like install ubuntu to usb then use gparted livecd to image the hard drive for near instant install?
[06:35] <sethk> speeddemon8803, the sweet smell of burning silicon ...
[06:35] <AzureLight> Because I did have the Nautilus crash
[06:35] <sethk> Znuff, I hate the keyboard
[06:35] <Znuff> sethk, why is that?
[06:35] <sethk> Znuff, many of the compaq/hps I've seen have only one alt key
[06:35] <AzureLight> I don't mind reformatting and whatnot
[06:35] <AzureLight> It's almost 2AM here
[06:35] <sethk> Znuff, and other stuff in the wrong place.  Murder if you are a touch typist.
 nah my gnome crashed when my xorg rubbed it the wrong way too
[06:36] <Znuff> sethk, uh, I didn't check the pics.
[06:36] <AzureLight> Eh
[06:36] <sethk> Znuff, I would.
[06:36] <Cubexombi> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:36] <tarelerulz> I mean I try to find stuff on it ,but never found anything .  I mean I felt like I can't be the only one thinking of use an USB thumbstick as an installing mediem .  They are big enough  now . You could put something like SUSE if you wanted too.
[06:36] <Cubexombi> you should still have the working copy there
[06:36] <sethk> Znuff, I think the IBM (or whatever the IBM laptops are called nowadays) has the best keyboard, and I love the mouse stick.
[06:36] <AzureLight> Welltrue
[06:36] <prozacmas> i installed ubuntu and after the initial menu it says starting ubuntu but then the screen goes blank. can anyone help me out ?
[06:36] <AzureLight> But if that doesn't work, I'm wiping my HD :D
[06:36] <speeddemon8803> tare, I've got a 120GB portable hd
[06:37] <sethk> Znuff, but there are many good ones with a proper keyboard layout.  The "proper" layout is one where it is never necessary to press two keys with the same hand.
[06:37] <AzureLight> Becasue I want a Windows Partition anyways
[06:37] <tarelerulz> What I mean is to use The USB thumbstick like you would an install CD
[06:37] <sethk> Znuff, well, with fingers from the same hand.  :)
[06:37] <Znuff> sethk, I hate the clit now. I used to like it but I prefer some acceleration on my touchpad :-). Seems the model I picked has AltGr too.
[06:37] <nickrud> prozacmas, does the hard drive continue running, and how long did you give the blank screen?
[06:37] <sethk> Znuff, many boxes these days have both the stick and touchpad
[06:37] <skelter> prozacmas, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121819
[06:37] <Cubexombi> <tarelerulz all the standard methods will do the trick as long as you use the actual live CD/iso to do it. the live desktop will still have the install application sitting on the desktop.
[06:37] <Znuff> sethk, I have an old HP Compaq nc6220 now. Got pretty used to the keyboard
[06:38] <Znuff> sethk, mine has it too... But I can't really use it. I find it too strange now that I've got used to a touchpad.
[06:38] <AzureLight> Alright, does anyone have a link to a site that has all the instructions I'll need to dual boot XP and Ubuntu from absolutely nothing?
 true nuff, you said you wanted to get a little bit of gaming down too anyway.
[06:38] <Znuff> sethk, seems VERY slow
[06:38] <sethk> Znuff, but that's really just a matter of preference.  The keyboard layout comment is based on facts (statistics about typing speed and error rates).
[06:38] <nickrud> oh, sethk that's perverse, I remap the ctl key to the caps lock just so I can use two fingers on one hand
[06:38] <Znuff> AzureLight, install XP, then install Ubuntu.
[06:38] <sethk> Znuff, what seems slow, the stick?
[06:38] <Cubexombi> <AzureLight ^-- that
[06:38] <Znuff> sethk, yup. Like no acceleration whatsoever
[06:39] <AzureLight> Alright, now how do I go about wiping my HD with Windows?
[06:39] <Cubexombi> just make sure to partition enough space to install ubuntu
[06:39] <tarelerulz> Cubexombi , you Saying put the live cd iso on an usb thumbstrick and trick it into think the usb thumb strick is a live cd and use it for the installer
[06:39] <AzureLight> Does the Live CD have something to partition?
[06:39] <sethk> Znuff, might be a configuration issue.  Mostly I plug in a mouse, unless I'm on an airplane or some other awful place.
[06:39] <Znuff> sethk, also, when I used to use a stick, my fingers/hands would hurt from too much clicking. On a touchpad I don't feel that pain anymore.
[06:39] <sethk> Znuff, indeed, if it's more comfortable for you, stick with it (if you'll excuse the expression)  :)
[06:39] <andry_good> macmini anyone?
[06:39] <AzureLight> I have a Gparted live cd
[06:40] <Cubexombi> <tarelerulz pretty much.. yes... it's a little confusing .. gimme a sec and I'll find you the how to
[06:40] <Znuff> now... if I could only figure out how the hell to make my wireless card work :-/
[06:40] <AzureLight> Should I just format from my Gparted Live CD and then make my partitions from there?
[06:40] <nickrud> AzureLight, sure that would work fine
[06:40] <AzureLight> Better yet, is there a site with detailed instructions?
[06:41] <Cubexombi> <tarelerulz http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[06:41] <AzureLight> Because I'm known to mess even the simplest things up
[06:41] <AzureLight> Like the partition positions and whatnot
[06:41] <Znuff> AzureLight, I'll sumarize the instructions: create 1 partition of whatever size you want for linux. Then another one for Windows. Then create a small one for swap.
[06:41] <AzureLight> Linux one first?
[06:41] <sethk> AzureLight, you said you don't mind the risk of having to reinstall, so, sure, give that a try (gparted, that is)
[06:41] <nickrud> Znuff, shouldn't it be windows first?
[06:41] <sethk> AzureLight, windows first
[06:41] <AzureLight> Ok
[06:42] <Znuff> AzureLight, or better yet: 1st partition, /boot - 200MB, 2nd partition Windows, 3rd partition Linux, 4th partition swap
[06:42] <sethk> nickrud, right.  I've seen boxes where windows refuses to boot from anything other than the first partition.
[06:42] <AzureLight> ext3 for linux?
[06:42] <sethk> AzureLight, yes, ext3
[06:42] <nickrud> sethk, yes, me also
[06:42] <Znuff> AzureLight, also, make SURE you create them all PRIMARY partitions.
[06:42] <AzureLight> now... what about the /dev/sda1 and stuff?
[06:42] <Znuff> sethk, windows needs a primary partition. Won't boot/install without it.
[06:42] <DragonSpirit> For those who contribute to Ubuntu, thank you
[06:42] <sethk> nickrud, right, and since linux doesn't have that bug, just let windows be it's usual piggish self.  :)
[06:43] <Znuff> sethk, also, Windows allows only 4 primary partitions on a disk.
[06:43] <sethk> Znuff, indeed, that's true, but what does it have to do with this question?
[06:43] <nickrud> AzureLight, sda is the first drive, and sda1 is the first partition of the first drive
[06:43] <Znuff> AzureLight, don't bother.
[06:43] <Znuff> sethk, you said you've seen stuff that won't boot :P
[06:43] <sethk> Znuff, the MBR specs allow only four partitions.  Has nothing to do with windows, specifically
[06:43] <AzureLight> So set a boot to 1st, windows to second, linux to third and swap as last?
[06:43] <sethk> Znuff, yes, but I'm not quite dumb enough to put windows on an extended.  :)
[06:44] <Znuff> sethk, well, yeah, but only windows crashes if you feed it more than 4 primary. Linux and others dont' care/mind
[06:44] <sethk> Znuff, in fact, I see no reason to ever use extended partitions on modern machines.  Problems relating to large partition sizes were solved long ago.
[06:44] <goldphish> So I'm trying to build the tp_smapi module but I get this "/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: not found". What does that mean?
[06:44] <nickrud> AzureLight, no, windows on 1 , linux on 2 , swap on 3 , create extended partition(4), then home on 5
[06:44] <Znuff> sethk, haven't used one in ages
[06:44] <Znuff> nickrud, dude, let the man have a /boot
[06:44] <nickrud> Znuff, why these days? we're not using lilo
[06:45] <sethk> Znuff, indeed, that's quite true.  In fact it's similar to what I said; to wit, windows is bitchy, so give it the first primary and put linux after that, since linux boot properly.
[06:45] <AzureLight> Someone wanna type this up so I can print it off? XD
[06:45] <tarelerulz> Well, thanks Cubexombi, iy  would be nice to have an os on thumbstick and having the option to install it to the computer you have it plugged into
[06:45] <r3n0c> is tehre a way to use my webcam as a login for ubuntu 7.10?
[06:45] <sethk> Znuff, but, what can you expect, windows has only been around for 20 years or so and you can't expect them to fix things more quickly than that, can you?  :)
[06:45] <r3n0c> it would be kinda sick if my laptop required the webcam and fingerprint scanner to allow login
 it comes in handy thats for sure, plus boots a little quicker too
[06:45] <sethk> r3n0c, not sure what you mean by that.
[06:45] <nickrud> it's conquering by refusal to coexist
[06:45] <sethk> r3n0c, fingerprint scanner makes sense.  Do you mean facial recognition for logging in?
[06:45] <Znuff> sethk, yeah, so young... :-/
[06:45] <skelter> sethk, only lets you log in if it recognizes your face
[06:45] <r3n0c> sethk, like the webcam could have a picture of you on file, and to login, it would have to see you
[06:46] <r3n0c> sethk,  yeah
[06:46] <Znuff> r3n0c, so what happens if you cut your hair? ^^
[06:46] <sethk> r3n0c, I've seen the fingerprint implemented.  I haven't seen the camera login, but believe it or not there are lots of things that exist that I haven't seen.  :)
[06:46] <skelter> reinstall the OS
[06:46] <r3n0c> Znuff, lol well it shouldn't have to match the whole face
 it's all fun and games untill you wake up one day with "hang over face" and want to login..
[06:46] <r3n0c> sethk, yeah, i got the fingerprint to work
[06:47] <soldats> i believe it
[06:47] <Znuff> r3n0c, no really, face recognition is kind of stupid.
[06:47] <sethk> skelter, hey, that's why windows help is so easy, the answer to every question is reinstall the os.
[06:47] <r3n0c> Cubexombi,  it is just that i saw it for windows, working
[06:47] <Znuff> r3n0c, now... EYE IRIS SCAN - that would be sick ^^
[06:47] <tarelerulz>  Cubexombi, I have all thought it might be an cool idea . I mean I really do belive it is all data and you should not need a cd . I mean we live in the age of  rewritble  media that is big enough  why not use it.  Plus the nerd factor is there too haha
[06:47] <sethk> Znuff, I wouldn't say it's stupid
[06:47] <nickrud> lol, I'm about to reinstall windows to fix crap
[06:47] <r3n0c> Znuff, lol well yeah, but i thikn an iris scanner is a bit more expensive then my 1.3m webcam
[06:47] <Znuff> sethk, untill you find yourself not being able to login :)
[06:47] <sethk> Znuff, use the fingerprint for authentication, use the photo simply to figure out who is logging in, not to prove that it's really that person.
[06:48] <r3n0c> yeah that could work too
[06:48] <sethk> Znuff, I could find a way to log in, and you could as well.  :)
[06:48] <AzureLight> Alright, so final conclusions on how I should go about with my dual booting?
[06:48] <Znuff> sethk, but not average joe :-)
[06:48] <prozacmas> has anyone installed ubuntu on a aes256 encrypted partition
[06:48] <r3n0c> well yeah, but the point is that it is cool, not that it isn't easy to bypass
[06:48] <AzureLight> Windows needs to be first
[06:48] <AzureLight> And should I have the /boot?
[06:48] <Eagle-101> AzureLight, its easy :)
[06:48] <wariola> hi. anyone here know how to install zope 2.10 on gutsy server?
[06:48] <sethk> Znuff, seriously, though, nothing to stop you from having one conventional login and the rest photo logins.
[06:48] <r3n0c> lol
[06:49] <tarelerulz>  Cubexombi, looking for sure I found that Ubuntu made an windows installer for Ubuntu. I thought that was very cool.  really getting Ubuntu to the widest about of people.  For those who might want to try out Linux ,  fear  repartitioning thier card drive . I mean it keep me for Linux for while
[06:49] <Eagle-101> put liveCD in, make sure to custom partition the disk, first shrink windows portion, then add a swap partition and a ext3 partition.
[06:49] <Znuff> 02:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) <-- I've got the president's wireless card!!!
[06:49] <Eagle-101> Znuff, heh, same card I have
[06:49] <r3n0c> www.bannanasecurity.com
[06:49] <Znuff> Eagle-101, does it work for you? :-/
[06:49] <sethk> Znuff, I saw a bus parked here the other day, called "ground force one" and painted up like AF1.  :)
[06:50] <r3n0c> they have it for windows :(
[06:50] <Znuff> sethk, cool :P
[06:50] <Eagle-101> Znuff, yep, both on ubuntu (automatic) and gentoo, (I manually configured it)
[06:50] <tarelerulz>  Znuff , I would look at ndiswrapper site
[06:50] <Znuff> Eagle-101, doesn't work for me :-/
[06:50] <Eagle-101> dunno what ubuntu does, but with gentoo you have to compile in a kernel module for it
[06:50] <AzureLight> There needs to be something like that Ubuntu thing for Windows, but a Windows thing for Ubuntu!
[06:51] <AzureLight> So that you can run it right off of your Ubuntu install
[06:51] <Eagle-101> Znuff, alright, hang on a moment let me get my settings for you
[06:51] <Znuff> Eagle-101, please.
[06:51] <AzureLight> So /boot partition or not?
[06:51] <Znuff> tarelerulz, guess that would be my almost-last solution.
[06:51] <AzureLight> What are the advantages?
[06:51] <r3n0c> argh i'm out, got finals this week
[06:52] <sethk> AzureLight, I see no real advantage to a separate boot partition.
[06:52] <Znuff> AzureLight, how big is your disk?
[06:52] <AzureLight> 250GB
[06:52] <sethk> AzureLight, I haven't used one in about 10 years.
[06:52] <mosno> sethk: i use a separate boot so my grub.conf is more protected
[06:52] <Znuff> AzureLight, does it show up as 250GB in your BIOS?
[06:52] <Eagle-101> tarelerulz, no need for ndswrapper
[06:52] <AzureLight> Yeah, a bit less
[06:52] <larrywells> I am adding a printer from the network through Samba
[06:52] <sethk> mosno, I do not agree that a separate boot partition means that your grub configuration file is less vulnerable
[06:52] <tarelerulz> Well, It is what I had to do .  It was what I keep running into when I did searches . I mean I hear b43 is out there . it is the replacement for bcm43xx
[06:52] <solitaire> Znuff: ndiswrapper is the easiet solution for those cards and is actually faster than the native support
[06:52] <abhi> hi i'm using a dell vostro 1400 which has built in blue tooth. i disabled the bluetooth service, but that doesn't turn off my bluetooth adapter. how do i turn off my bluetooth adapter? the bluetooth light is still on. if i turn off wireless, the wireless light goes off but for bluetooth it's not the same.
[06:53] <larrywells> But nothing is happing when I print a test page
[06:53] <abhi> i'm on Gutsy
[06:53] <sethk> mosno, anyone who hacks himself the privileges to modify the file can mount the partition.
[06:53] <nickrud> mosno, protected? a shared menu.lst that any os can alter?
[06:53] <Eagle-101> oh! what version of ubuntu are you using Znuff ?
[06:53] <soldats>  sethk maybe he means it takes 1 moar step to get to it
[06:53] <Znuff> Eagle-101, gutsy
[06:53] <Eagle-101> with xubuntu here the restricted drivers manager did the work for me
[06:53] <sethk> soldats, yes, but I don't think that's significant.
[06:53] <larrywells> Is there something else I should be doing
[06:53] <mosno> sethk: fair enough. it's more that it's protected from *me* when i reinstall or whatever
[06:53] <Znuff> Eagle-101, it doesn't for me
[06:53] <AzureLight> 232.83 GiB
[06:53] <mosno> sethk: ie. if i'm trying different distros
[06:54] <Znuff> Eagle-101, I mean, the card gets detected and everything.
[06:54] <sethk> mosno, I don't really see how or why.
[06:54] <AzureLight> That's what it shows up as
[06:54] <Znuff> Eagle-101, it even connects to the AP
[06:54] <Eagle-101> Znuff, alright, open a terminal
[06:54] <sethk> mosno, I suppose.  Backing up /boot takes about 10 seconds.
[06:54] <AzureLight> So not quite 250
[06:54] <soldats> sethk, yes i agree with you though. but i meant he wasthiking other
[06:54] <abhi> !bluetooth
[06:54] <Znuff> Eagle-101, but it won't get an IP from the DHCP server
[06:54] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[06:54] <Cubexombi> ooh here's a good one, does anyboby know how to fix randomly skipping audio playback in flash? (link like a scratched Cd but only for a second or two.. once every few minutes)
[06:54] <mosno> sethk: it's more or less useless these days but back in the old days it would save my ass
[06:55] <tarelerulz> znuff, you don't use any ip blocking stuff?  I did that and it blocked everything .  just asking
[06:55] <Eagle-101> Znuff, sounds like you don't have dhcpcd
[06:55] <Eagle-101> but lets try something alright
[06:55] <mosno> sethk: ie. back before i knew how to manually install grub
[06:55] <Znuff> Cubexombi, ask Adobe when they're gonna fix their flash player.
[06:55] <AzureLight> I wish I had someway of staying in this room while partitioning ans stuff... >_>
[06:55] <Znuff> Eagle-101, dhcp client is there.
[06:55] <Znuff> tarelerulz, nope.
[06:55] <AzureLight> Is there a flash based IRC client?
 true that...
[06:55] <Znuff> AzureLight, probably.
[06:55] <nickrud> rflol
[06:55] <ionstorm> use pidgin
[06:55] <ionstorm> to connect to irc
[06:55] <AzureLight> One that I can access on my Wii
[06:55] <ionstorm> in bootcd
[06:55] <ionstorm> or grab xchat
[06:55] <Znuff> AzureLight, google wii irc :)
[06:56] <mosno> or grab irssi :)
[06:56] <prozacmas> has anyone installed ubuntu on a aes256 encrypted partition
[06:56] <ionstorm> i have
[06:56] <Eagle-101> Znuff, please open a terminal, and type in iwlist eth1 scan
[06:56] <Eagle-101> (could be wlan0 instead of iwlist)
[06:56] <Eagle-101> err eth1
[06:56] <tarelerulz> Well,  Znuff, just asking . I did that and I was about to compile b43 and I reinstalled ubuntu and found after i install mobock I could not get web pages
[06:56] <Eagle-101> Znuff, if you can scan using the card, then the problem is not the card :)
[06:56] <prozacmas> ionstorm can i pm you
[06:56] <Znuff> Eagle-101, I can scan, yes.
[06:56] <tarelerulz> Sometimes the simple stuff can be the answer . I am glad it is not that. I felt a bit dumb haha
[06:57] <ionstorm> i didnt manually do it, I used alternate cd
[06:57] <prozacmas> me too
[06:57] <ionstorm> ok whats the q
[06:57] <Eagle-101> Znuff, are you able to connect to an accesspoint?
[06:57] <Znuff> Eagle-101, yup.
[06:57] <Eagle-101> hang on..
[06:57] <prozacmas> ionstorm can i tell you in pm
[06:57] <Znuff> Eagle-101, but it eventually fails.
[06:57] <ionstorm> ik
[06:57] <ionstorm> ok
[06:57] <prozacmas> its hard for me to follow here
[06:57] <Znuff> Eagle-101, hit the connect, it's telling me its connecting then it fails
[06:57] <prozacmas> ok thanks
[06:57] <Eagle-101> iwconfig eth1 essid "YOURACCESSPOINT"
[06:57] <Eagle-101> what does that give you?
[06:58] <AzureLight> Alright, I'm gonna do this all tomorrow
[06:58] <sethk> Znuff, if the wnet uses a key, the problem is likely related to the key.
[06:58] <sethk> towlieban?
[06:58] <towlieban> hi
[06:58] <Znuff> wish I would have stayed with my Belkin card :-/ that was working so nice out of the box :(
[06:58] <AzureLight> 2AM is not the best time to be messing with dual booting and partitioning
[06:58] <Eagle-101> Znuff, better, please put the output of iwlist eth1 scan into a pastebin?
[06:59] <t_> I'm looking for some help. Can anyone help me?
[06:59] <Eagle-101> !ask
[06:59] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:59] <sethk> t_, only if you ask a question
[06:59] <t_> i'm trying to change the schema for the autohide size of the top gnome-panel
[07:00] <t_> gconf-editor won't allow me to edit the schema
[07:00] <linux__> DOWN with microsoft!
[07:00] <sethk> t_, run it as root (that is, with sudo)
[07:01] <Eagle-101> Znuff, the card works, seems like you have problems with your network key. I know the card works because I have the exact same thing working in two different linux operating systems.
[07:01] <t_> i also went to usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-toplevel.schemas and edited that but i don't think it did anything
[07:02] <Znuffy> f* ISP
[07:02] <AzureLight> Does this site work for anyone?
[07:02] <AzureLight> http://irc.emascc.com/home/gs69azza/public_html/irc/thevoid.digitalspread.net
[07:02] <t_> i tried gconf-editor with sudo also
[07:02] <sethk> Znuff, did you burn it?
[07:02] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, did you get my request to paste the output of iwlist eth1 scan into a pastebin please
[07:02] <soldats> no i t says no redirect fialure
[07:02] <t_> it says "Currently pairs and schemas can't be edited. This will be changed in a later version."
[07:04] <AzureLight> http://www.wiipals.net/chat.html
[07:04] <AzureLight> Someone tell me what that is
[07:04] <sethk> t_, you'll have to edit them off line from a console.  BACK UP FIRST.
[07:04] <soldats> chat?
[07:04] <AzureLight> Does it let you join any IRC channel
[07:04] <Romeo-> hello
[07:04] <AzureLight> Or is it just one specific one?
[07:04] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, just a sec. I have to reapply the firmware stuff.
[07:04] <t_> would that be under the usr/share/gconf/schemas?
[07:05] <AzureLight> I'm too lazy to get Java atm
[07:05] <sethk> AzureLight, who knows?  You are obviously already in an IRC chat room.
[07:05] <Znuffy> ...
[07:05] <sethk> AzureLight, or do you mean you want to use it because it uses the nintendo hardware?
[07:05] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright, you should only have to do that once.
[07:05] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright, you should only have to do that once. (pasting again incase Znuffy could not see)
[07:05] <larrywells> How do i find IP range of my Lan
[07:05] <Romeo-> can somebody tell me why mencoder are not workin on ubuntu? http://rafb.net/p/jWpBF564.html
[07:05] <AzureLight> sethk: I want to know what it is for the possibilty of using it off my Wii's browser
[07:05] <AzureLight> So that I can be in this room while installing my OSs
[07:06] <Znuffy> http://pastebin.com/m5b0a27f2
[07:06] <sethk> AzureLight, I don't know that.  Pick a few sites and see if you can get to them.
[07:06] <haymaker> oh man, if anyone needs a chuckle: http://ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html
[07:06] <sethk> AzureLight, actually, just try to get on this site.  After all, we know everything so who needs any other channel?   :)
[07:07] <larrywells> do i use route -n?
[07:07] <sethk> haymaker, I've seen it before, it is very amusing.
[07:08] <Znuffy> that was for Eagle-101 :P
[07:08] <AzureLight> Is there a way to access this room on a Wii though?
[07:08] <sethk> AzureLight, I don't know, don't use Wii.
[07:08] <hallow> how big is the ubuntu 7.10 when it finishes the installation?
[07:08] <haymaker> sethk, i laughed so hard i was crying
[07:09] <edgy> Hi, I just bought an XPS 1330 and installed ubuntu. there is a port called hdmi and I am curious to try it so I bought an hdmi cable and connect it to my lcd tv but now what?! ;)
[07:09] <Eagle-101> AzureLight, sure, though dualbooting is nothing to get worked up over :)
[07:09] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, looking
[07:09] <edgy> I cannot see my pc on the tv screen as I expected and I have no clue what to do
[07:09] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright, when you go to connect to this accesspoint, please make sure encryption is turned *off*
[07:09] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, it is.
[07:09] <sethk> haymaker, be fun to see someone trying to use it that way.
[07:10] <mattbot> I just formatted the unbuntu drive in my dual boot machine not realizing that grub was on that drive. Is there an easy way for me to go back to the windows boot loader?
[07:10] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright, go back to the terminal and type in ping google
[07:10] <Eagle-101> err google.com
[07:10] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, doesn't work :-)
[07:10] <haymaker> mattbot, boot to the windows disk in recovery mode and run fixmbr
[07:10] <sethk> mattbot, fdisk /mbr
[07:10] <sethk> mattbot, or fixmbr in windows recovery
[07:10] <sethk> mattbot, or add windows to the grub config file.
[07:10] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright did you type in iwconfig eth1 essid "Znuffie Woofie"
[07:11] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, yup.
[07:11] <AzureLight> Oh well
[07:11] <mattbot> grub is gone, along with linux, I'll try the windows recovery
[07:11] <Eagle-101> is the card actually on eth1?
[07:11] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, then dhclient eth1
[07:11] <AzureLight> I will resort to the forums if I need anything
[07:11] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, yes
[07:11] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, ah!
[07:11] <haymaker> mattbot, you should really give up windows though, its trble
[07:11] <Eagle-101> dhcpcd eth1
[07:11] <AzureLight> Now to get some sleep and then start the installation process
[07:11] <soldats> forums is the forst place to look for problems
[07:12] <AzureLight> Thanks for all the help guys
[07:12] <bengl> every time i login, i have to go into Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, and click the Window Decoration box, otherwise i never get any window decoration, anyone know how i can fix this?
[07:12] <Eagle-101> AzureLight, sure, don't sweat it
[07:12] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, nothing, ofcourse.
[07:12] <sethk> soldats, did you mean first, or worst?  :)
[07:12] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, nothing as in a new line?
[07:12] <t_> i sudo edited usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-toplevel.schemas but i cant tell if it had any effect on gnome-panel
[07:12] <soldats> first
[07:12] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, next timeout, next timeout
[07:12] <AzureLight> So formatting is done in Gparted, right?
[07:13] <soldats> bengl, do you have save setting on rbooet selected
[07:13] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, are you connected vie a different internet connection?
[07:13] <mattbot> haymaker, I need it for my desktop for some proprietary software I use for work. Every other machine I own is 100% linux. Just had to format the linux drive on it because I was running out of room.
[07:13] <Eagle-101> ie wired?
[07:13] <soldats> sethk, i meant first
[07:13] <sethk> soldats, just checking.  :)
[07:13] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, yup, but don't mind that. I have different IPs assigned to each network interface :)
[07:13] <Eagle-101> oh alrighty!
[07:13] <haymaker> mattbot, i hate that proprietary windows software
[07:13] <hallow> how big is the ubuntu 7.10 when it finishes the installation?
[07:13] <bengl> soldats, where is that?
[07:14] <soldats> sethk, i like your smiley face ;)
[07:14] <mattbot> As do I, haymaker, but since it is for work, I don't want to fuck with it.
[07:14] <NeT_DeMoN> can any one help me with a sound card problem?
[07:14] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, give me a moment, this really should work with no problems :S
[07:14] <soldats> bengl, in the desktop settings i believe
[07:15] <haymaker> hallow, depending on what you install, 3gb or so
[07:15] <haymaker> mattbot, have you tried to run it in wine?
[07:15] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, http://pastebin.com/d41611f40
[07:15] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, one finally thing, specify to your card the following iwconfig eth1 channel 2
[07:15] <soldats> bengl, oh man it may be in login settings
[07:15] <NeT_DeMoN> any one?
[07:16] <soldats> is i plugged in correctly
[07:16] <soldats> it
[07:16] <NeT_DeMoN> me?
[07:16] <wasme> NeT_DeMoN: try just stating your problem. If anyone can help they will.
[07:17] <NeT_DeMoN> i have an intel sound card, i had vista and it didnt work right then either
[07:17] <soldats> the card may be bad then
[07:17] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Do you know which model it is?
[07:17] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: hold up
[07:18] <NeT_DeMoN> Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[07:18] <fitztrev> Is it possible to get the server time from the command line?
[07:18] <mo> hello
[07:18] <wasme> fitztrev: uh, 'date'?
[07:18] <Znuffy> fitztrev, ntpclient ip-of-time-server
[07:19] <mo> I have a small issue , and I was wondering if you guys could help me ..
[07:19] <soldats> date
[07:19] <t_> does anybody know how to make the gnome-panel autohide so that it is only 1 or 2 pixels?
[07:19] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, my thought right now is to try to give it a specific IP address instead of using dhcpcd
[07:19] <haymaker> mo whats the problem?
[07:19] <mo> Im loading ubuntu from cd , I was trying to install
[07:19] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, like I said, tried that too.
[07:19] <Eagle-101> thing is for ubuntu this should work out of the box for my card
[07:19] <fitztrev> date works.  thanks!
[07:19] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, won't ping.
[07:19] <NeT_DeMoN> any one?
[07:19] <soldats> Znuffy, the advanced way lol
[07:19] <mo> the hard drive  is NTFS
[07:20] <Znuffy> soldats, he used "Server" and "time" in the same sentence :P
[07:20] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, it may be a bad card, or bad configuration for drivers
[07:20] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, paste the output of ifconfig please
[07:20] <mo> and I was trying to take the free space to install it on
[07:20] <NeT_DeMoN> solddats: it used to work
[07:20] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, I'm not *that* stupid, you know? :)
[07:20] <mo> but ... installation stays and never moves from the partition screen ..
[07:20] <soldats> Znuffy, ahh i figured me meant off his own server
[07:20] <SuperQ> t_: right-click on an empty part of the panel, select properties
[07:21] <mo> it does nothing
[07:21] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, I know that's correct :)
[07:21] <SuperQ> t_: the trick is to find an empty part of the panel
[07:21] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, it just doesn't authentificate with my AP
[07:21] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, you said it didnt in vista either thoghg
[07:21] <haymaker> mo so its just sitting there?
[07:21] <mo> yea
[07:21] <NeT_DeMoN> it just quit working one day, and it will work every once in awhile
[07:21] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, alright, try this then, make the AP use WEP
[07:21] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: yeah
[07:21] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, I think I'll just use ndiswrapper :-/
[07:21] <haymaker> mo alright, well do you have any valuable data on the ntfs volume?
[07:21] <mo> funny thing is
[07:21] <Eagle-101> and give it a password :)
[07:21] <mo> yea
[07:22] <mo> plenty
[07:22] <mo> :(
[07:22] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, faulty wires bad connection. check connection if it isnt integrated
[07:22] <mo> :D
[07:22] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, thing is... your card is working >.>
[07:22] <haymaker> mo how big is the volume?
[07:22] <ogre> whats the name of that app where you can add your trashcan to the desktop? its some sort of browser with check boxes
[07:22] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, logs say it doesn't :)
[07:22] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: its a laptop
[07:22] <mo> around 60 gigs
[07:22] <ogre> i know the name i just cant remember
[07:22] <haymaker> mo how much free space?
[07:22] <poppy75> i was wondering if anyone could help with this error: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
[07:22] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: a toshiba satellite A-105
[07:22] <mo> I have about 2 gigs to work with
[07:22] <wasme> ogre: gconf-editor
[07:22] <mo> 2256 megabytes
[07:23] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, ahh it sounds as though you need a tech if you dont have the know how to disassemble it
[07:23] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, also, I get stuff like: [ 4943.171365] bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout <-- in my logs
[07:23] <ogre> wasme:  thanks thats it
[07:23] <Eagle-101> ;S
[07:23] <haymaker> mo you have a 60 gb ntfs volume filled to the brim with 2.2gb free and you thought it would be ok to take the last 2 gb for ubuntu?
[07:23] <sethk> NeT_DeMoN, I would hit it with a hammer.  Won't fix anything, but you'll feel better.
[07:23] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, if it randomly goes on and off it may be another process using it or bad connection or bad cables
[07:23] <Eagle-101> Znuffy, well good luck, its going on 2AM here, feel free to ping me if you still need help tomorrow
[07:23] <sethk> NeT_DeMoN, if you don't like that idea, see if headphones have the same symptoms.
[07:24] <Znuffy> Eagle-101, It's 9 am here. Been up all night... and morning :>
[07:24] <Eagle-101> that card should just setup and work
[07:24] <mo> linux worked for me on much much less
[07:24] <Znuffy> It should :-(
[07:24] <Znuffy> I'll give ndiswrapper a try
[07:24] <mo> I didnt think ubuntu would be any different
[07:24] <soldats> ohg yea sethk thats a good idea
[07:24] <haymaker> mo oh it will work, but windows needs free space
[07:24] <mo> I deleted windows
[07:24] <mo> windows stoped working
[07:24] <mo> and it kept restating
[07:24] <haymaker> mo so you just have this ntfs volume with data on it?
[07:25] <NeT_DeMoN> damn, any one know how to stop a sit load of lags :P
[07:25] <NeT_DeMoN> shit^^
[07:25] <mo> yes :D
[07:25] <kraut> moin
[07:25] <haymaker> i'd say best thing to do is get your data off
[07:25] <mo> I tried to fsck it
[07:25] <mo> to repair errors
[07:25] <mo> I tried gnome partition
[07:25] <haymaker> how long has it been waiting?
[07:25] <mo> but it stopped after 5 seconds
[07:25] <mo> setup waits endlessly
[07:26] <poppy75> Znuffy: what firmware are you using?
[07:26] <NeT_DeMoN> sethk: lmao
[07:26] <poppy75> the default that ubuntu downloads?
[07:26] <amitprakash> !clone
[07:26] <ubotu> 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
[07:26] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: In what situation did it last work? I have the same sound card and it does indeed work.
[07:26] <mo> funny thing is
[07:26] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: well thank for helping me dude
[07:26] <Znuffy> poppy75, the one that ubuntu suggets
[07:26] <mo> theres admin password in this live cd
[07:27] <mo> so I cant do anything
[07:27] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: All I can say is, it "Just Works" in Feisty and above
[07:27] <mo> in terminal
[07:27] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: like no certian cituation
[07:27] <sethk> mo, sudo is probably wide open.  Try sudo -i
[07:27] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Have you checked your mixer settings?
[07:27] <mo> okay thanks :D
[07:27] <sethk> mo  if it asks for a password, use your own password, not roots (even if you knew it)
[07:27] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: i guess ut just decides when to work
[07:27] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: yeah
[07:27] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: And everything is unmuted, and if you're on a laptop, "External Amplifier" is checked?
[07:27] <MontoyaC> hey guys, can someone tell me how to disable nvidia restricted driver from command line?
[07:28] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Because over here, not having Ext Amp enabled = no sound
[07:28] <MontoyaC> I can't see the XORG anymore since I enabled it
[07:28] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: yeah, alsa mixer right?
[07:28] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Yep.
[07:28] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: ok, thanks
[07:28] <poppy75> i had the same problem, what you should do is remove the bcm firmware found in /lib/firmware then do sudo wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
[07:28] <ogre> what is the path in gconf-editor to make it so my mounted drives dont show up on desktop?
[07:28] <mo> may I ask you , would fsck be the best program to fix errors on ntfs ?
[07:29] <amitprakash> how do i set socks proxy for aptitude
[07:30] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: what about the stock speakers on the laptop?
[07:30] <poppy75> Znuffy, do you understand what i mean?
[07:30] <scguy318> amitprakash: System -> Prefs -> Network Proxy
[07:30] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: What do you mean?
[07:30] <MontoyaC> ok poppy75
[07:30] <t_> does anyone know how to get around gconf-editor denying schema editing
[07:30] <MontoyaC> i'll try that
[07:30] <wasme> ogre: try /apps/nautilus/desktop
[07:30] <Znuffy> poppy75, tried that firmware too.
[07:30] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: like the speakers on the laptop
[07:30] <amitprakash> scguy318, works for aptitude command line
[07:30] <poppy75> umm
[07:30] <amitprakash> ??
[07:31] <Znuffy> poppy75, I'll try ndiswrapper
[07:31] <Znuffy> brb
[07:31] <poppy75> ok
[07:31] <amitprakash> scguy318, does it work for aptitude command line too?
[07:31] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Without "External Amplifier" enabled, there's no sound from the headphone jack nor from the laptop speakers.
[07:31] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: i think it might just be a crappy toshiba :P
[07:31] <Znuffy> uhm, wait... question
[07:31] <scguy318> amitprakash: yes
[07:31] <Znuffy> how the hell do I stop the native driver?
[07:31] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: ok, how do i enable it?
[07:32] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: sorry, im kind of a oob
[07:32] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: You're using GNOME, right? There should be a volume control icon in the top panel. Double-click on that.
[07:32] <NeT_DeMoN> noob^^
[07:32] <staykovmarin> i am trying to find the sqlite3-dev package to compile xmms2, does anyone know which one i need to get? a search comes up with quite a few results
[07:33] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda:yeah, ok
[07:33] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, type alsamixer in a terminal and turn everything up
[07:33] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: It should be set to use the Alsa mixer, by the way (mine says "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)"). There should be a "Switches" tab too.
[07:33] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: ok
[07:33] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Can you see an "External Amplifier" option in there anywhere?
[07:34] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, open the sound card config menu from the apps menu and set it to alsa
[07:34] <Znuffy> yuuuup
[07:34] <Znuffy> ndiswrapper worked
[07:34] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: nope
[07:34] <Znuffy> brb
[07:34] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: (If there's no such option, go to Edit -> Preferences. Enable "External Amplifier" in the list of tracks to be visible.)
[07:34] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I don't see it
[07:34] <ogre> wasme:  do i have to restart x before my drives will no longer be visible?
[07:35] <poppy75> does anyone know of a fix to get my mic / line in working for the "Failed to construct test pipeline.." error? I have mythtv installed and ready but since those ports dont work its not really panning out
[07:35] <|_ocke> anyone tried one of these celeron 420 '64-bit' cpus with 7.10 64-bit?
[07:35] <poppy75> MontoyaC see what?
[07:35] <MontoyaC> anything that starts with bcm
[07:35] <wasme> ogre: you may have to restart nautilus
[07:35] <|_ocke> im worndering if it would work
[07:35] <MontoyaC> poppy75: it just goes from atmel to dvb
[07:35] <MontoyaC> poppy75: Is there another location for restricted drivers?
[07:35] <poppy75> are you having the same problem Znuffy was having?
[07:36] <ogre> anyone have conky working on gnome? I know that its running i see it for a second when I boot up and when I shut down but I cant see it while im using my pc
[07:36] <wasme> ogre: which you can do by restarting X ... or just 'killall nautilus' and it *should* restart on its own ... but I take no responsibility if it doesn't and your left without a filemanager ... (although you could just restart it from the terminal if it doesn't restart on its own.)
[07:36] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I didn't see his problem, I did a fresh install of feisty and clicked "enable nividia drivers"  under restricteds
[07:36] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: you said turn everything up right?
[07:36] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: like on the terminal
[07:36] <MontoyaC> poppy75: "out of range" error as soon as I restarted
[07:36] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, id say first you need to rclick on the audio notifier and set the default to alsa
[07:37] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: I never mentioned the terminal... maybe that was soldats?
[07:37] <poppy75> MontoyaC your wireless was working before that?
[07:37] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I'm talking about display drivers, not networking drivers!
[07:37] <ogre> wasme:  im doing some strange stuff to my box tonight anyways. I have deleted all panels and am running everything off AWN
[07:37] <poppy75> MontoyaC oh, i was wondering what you were talking about
[07:37] <NeT_DeMoN> sorry about that, i got d/ced
[07:38] <soldats> Fyda, yes it seems hes responding to you so tell him to run alsamixer in terminal and turn everythign up
[07:38] <MontoyaC> poppy75: do you know where to find the restricted drivers on the filesystem? or how to disable them?
[07:38] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: how do i turn the other two up
[07:38] <soldats> or rclick the audio icon and set default to alsa
[07:38] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: the default is alsa
[07:38] <poppy75> MontoyaC one second let me check into it
[07:39] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, if something wont go up it means its not recognized or not installed
[07:39] <MontoyaC> thanks
[07:39] <Fyda> ogre: Is conky set to draw to the root window?
[07:39] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok, how would i re-install it?
[07:39] <ogre> Fyda:  i dont know. I am on a fresh install
[07:39] <NeT_DeMoN> damn
[07:39] <mo> does anyone know what would be the best program for harddrive sector repair in ubuntu ?
[07:40] <ogre> i just installed it like 20 mins ago
[07:40] <batma8> anyone up tonight :)
[07:40] <ogre> Fyda:  how would I check?
[07:40] <batma8> Does anyone in here use geforce 7600 gs?
[07:40] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, i think via command line apt-get has a reinstall thing for it. i dont remember exactly. but you "could" try to uninstall it and apt-get it again
[07:41] <Znuff> ndiswrapper worked great :)
[07:41] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok, how do i un-install it, soory im like fresh noob to this
[07:41] <NeT_DeMoN> sorry^^
[07:41] <brylie> NeT_DeMoN, are you familiar with Synaptic?
[07:42] <Fyda> ogre: Well, if you use gconf-editor and disable /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop, does that make conky visible all the time?
[07:42] <poppy75> MontoyaC are you just wanting to remove the restricted drivers or fix the error?
[07:42] <darkw0lf> I has a question. is there a way to get x-chat Gnome to keep the user list up?
[07:42] <brylie> Click System>>Administration>>Synaptic Package Manager
[07:42] <darkw0lf> or should I just install X-Chat instead?
[07:42] <ogre> Fyda:  let me try. one second
[07:42] <brylie> I'm using XChat
[07:43] <darkw0lf> no problems with the user list being on the screen?
[07:43] <wasme> darkw0lf: it's probably easier to just use X-Chat ... x-chat-gnome is a version of x-chat with a stripped down interface with fewer options.
[07:43] <darkw0lf> cause in x-chat gnome it's a popup list
[07:43] <Znuff> xchat-gnome sucks hard :-/
[07:43] <darkw0lf> wasme: ah. thanks :_
[07:43] <darkw0lf> *:)
[07:43] <MontoyaC> poppy75: First, disable them, so I can at least see the desktop
[07:43] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: thanks for helping though
[07:43] <MontoyaC> poppy75: then I might install envy
[07:44] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, "sudo apt-get -f install alsa"
[07:44] <poppy75> just try sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[07:44] <MontoyaC> ok
[07:44] <soldats> it should fix dependencies
[07:44] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: It's technically the same if you just use the GNOME volume mixer, as long as (like soldats said) you set it to use the ALSA device.
[07:44] <poppy75> i think that is the package that it installs for restricted nvidia when you use the restricted driver manager
[07:44] <MontoyaC> poppy75: That package is not installed
[07:44] <soldats> Fyda, yes ;)
[07:44] <wasme> MontoyaC: try nvidia-glx-new
[07:45] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: is that a command i run in the terminal??
[07:45] <Znuff> anyone tried KDE4?
[07:45] <towlieban> i have
[07:45] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, yes
[07:45] <MontoyaC> wasme: Nice work! that existed
[07:45] <darkw0lf> I have to say, I'm rather impressed with Ubuntu 7.10
[07:45] <poppy75> MontoyaC have you tried booting into recovery mode?
[07:45] <towlieban> its not very nice imo
[07:45] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok thank
[07:45] <NeT_DeMoN> s
[07:45] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I'm in that now
[07:45] <darkw0lf> I've had trouble in the past with Ubuntu
[07:45] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I think wasme got it
[07:45] <poppy75> ok
[07:45] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Additionally, have you looked in System -> Preferences -> Sound? There you can set which device is used for sound playback.
[07:45] <MontoyaC> poppy75 wasme: Now how do I start the graphical interface?
[07:45] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, it may not work but its a try in the dark.
[07:46] <poppy75> try gdm for login screen
[07:46] <poppy75> or startx
[07:46] <poppy75> to go into a session
[07:46] <soldats> startx
[07:46] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: yeah
[07:46] <wasme> MontoyaC: I'm sorry, I wasn't following what you were doing ... are you trying to install the nvidia drivesr or remove them? If you removed them you need to reconfigure X to use a different display driver, like nv or something.
[07:46] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: what if it asks for my password but yet won't let me enter anything??
[07:47] <MontoyaC> wasme: I'll get to that later, at least I have a display now!
[07:47] <poppy75> wasme he is trying to remove since he is getting overrange error
[07:47] <MontoyaC> wasme: Internal error: failed to initialize HAL! << what does that mean?
[07:47] <poppy75> MontoyaC try installing nvidia-settings also when you try to reinstall so you can check everything
[07:48] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, when you do "sudo" it will ask for password but when you type it it wont display anything
[07:48] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok
[07:48] <wasme> MontoyaC: HAL is the thing that tracks your hardware so when you, say, plug in a new usb disk everything will see it right away ... why it failed to intialize I don't know. But your system should still be useable without it. Just some of the hardware magic won't work.
[07:48] <DarkW0lf> there we go much better
[07:48] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, is bios detecting your sound card
[07:48] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: lie the cursor wont move either?
[07:48] <MontoyaC> poppy75 wasme: I might just leave the whole thing alone
[07:48] <NeT_DeMoN> like^^
[07:49] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: i think so
[07:49] <poppy75> MontoyaC a reinstall might be easier if it is a new install anyway
[07:49] <DarkW0lf> ok now how do I change colours in X-Chat?
[07:49] <ogre> Fyda:  nope its still not showing
[07:49] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, if reinstalling broken dependencies doesnt work try to see if its detected in bios at bootup. the cursor shouldnt move either ;)
[07:49] <MontoyaC> poppy75: Yeah but I don't have time for that now... and last time I had a good install, when I installed envy, the login screen was always out of range even though it was fine after that...
[07:50] <batma8> has anyone in here had problems installing gutsy with more than one stick of memory installed?
[07:50] <soldats> DarkW0lf, settings > config
[07:50] <DarkW0lf> unfortunately my colourblindness affects dark blue on black
[07:50] <winkman> Darkwolf: Edit Menu> Prefs > Colours
[07:50] <poppy75> MontoyaC are you using gutsy or feisty?
[07:50] <wasme> DarkW0lf: Settings -> Preferencse -> Interface -> coluors
[07:50] <soldats> DarkW0lf, i meant settings > preferences
[07:50] <mo> simple question
[07:50] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok, like how would i un-install it with the terminal?
[07:50] <winkman> (xchat-gnome)
[07:50] <wasme> colors
[07:50] <MontoyaC> poppy75: feisty, but that problem was when I had the amd64 version, now I'm using i386
[07:50] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: i just want to try to remove it and re-install it
[07:51] <mo> how  would I go around to change the folder or volume from read only to fully accessible ?
[07:51] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, if you really want to "sudo apt-get remove alsa" then do "sudo apt-get install alsa" i think
[07:51] <bazhang> mo: a folder in home?
[07:51] <winkman> Hi... I"ve just burnt an APTonCD disc, and i'm trying to re-install the packages on it... can someone walk me through? I'm getting an error when i try to add it as a CD in Synaptic
[07:51] <poppy75> MontoyaC: that is strange, im using gutsy and have had no problems with nvidia drivers
[07:51] <mo> no
[07:51] <mo> ntfs
[07:51] <MontoyaC> mo: That would be just chmod, right? sudo chmod 777
[07:51] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok, thanks
[07:51] <mo> thanjs
[07:51] <MontoyaC> poppy75: I think my monitors are just crappy, they never configure right. they're cheap
[07:51] <bazhang> ntfs-g mo
[07:52] <mo> thanks :D
[07:52] <wasme> MontoyaC: mind if I ask you to repeat what your problem is?
[07:52] <poppy75> MontoyaC: i see, it happens, my monitor is off center until x is initiated so i know what you mean
[07:52] <winkman> Any ideas?
[07:52] <MontoyaC> wasme: I'm okay now, I was having a problem where when nvidia drivers were enabled, the monitor was out of range
[07:53] <Fyda> ogre: I don't know what it could be, then.
[07:53] <wasme> MontoyaC: ah, I see.
[07:53] <MontoyaC> poppy75: This would all be fine if nvidia gave us good drivers -.-
[07:53] <DarkW0lf> ok uh... heh... I need some additional help.
[07:53] <ogre> Fyda:  thanks anyways
[07:53] <poppy75> MontoyaC , i know but at least they have some drivers, some companies fail to acknowledge linux as an OS at all
[07:53] <DarkW0lf> how exactly do I change the colour of the nicknames at the left side of the screen?
[07:53] <arooni> how do i access a FTP site via gutsy?  i'd prefer to use built in tools if possible.........  when i try use the connect to server.... option it doesnt seem to do anything :((
[07:54] <MontoyaC> poppy75: very true
[07:54] <arooni> actually when i try to connect to a server... it just opens a tab in firefox
[07:54] <arooni> how do i fix?
[07:54] <winkman> arooni: Places Menu> Connect To server...
[07:54] <mo> chmod didnt do it
[07:54] <soldats> DarkW0lf, in the preferences menu there is an option for it called colored nicknames
[07:54] <mo> ntfs-g didnt exist in ubuntu
[07:54] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: do i need to restart?
[07:54] <sethk> arooni, usually it also brings up a dialog box saying something like save file, open with, etc.
[07:54] <mo> Ill check around
[07:55] <sethk> arooni, the tab is an artifact
[07:55] <winkman> arooni: It'll create a menu item in Nautilus, where you can browse your files... :)
[07:55] <bazhang> ntfs-config is the package name iirc mo
[07:55] <haymaker> gnight
[07:55] <arooni> sethk, is it supposed to launch a tab in firefox?  it seems thats all it does
[07:55] <bazhang> !ntfs-g
[07:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:55] <bazhang> !info ntfs-3g

[07:56] <bazhang> ntfs-3g mo
[07:56] <sethk> arooni, it shouldn't _only_ open the tab.
[07:56] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, shouldnt have to but im not sure. its worth a try
[07:56] <Nostahl> what options do i have to optimize Ubuntu to run on a old laptop faster?
[07:56] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats:ok, i'll be back later
[07:56] <DarkW0lf> ok I think that fixed it
[07:56] <mo> thanks a bunch !!
[07:56] <DarkW0lf> I guess
[07:56] <arooni> what's the port
[07:56] <sethk> arooni, the port for ftp?
[07:56] <soldats> DarkW0lf, if it didnt work i have no clue why
[07:56] <DarkW0lf> it's just that stinking blue on black that I can't see due to my slight colourblindness
[07:56] <winkman> Nostahl: xubuntu?
[07:57] <DarkW0lf> thanks for the help
[07:57] <sethk> arooni, the standard ports are all listed in /etc/services
[07:57] <Nostahl> i have ubuntu 7.10
[07:57] <arooni> sethk,
[07:57] <Be1> Could someone give me a hand at installing a font?
[07:57] <MontoyaC> has anyone used the nvidia drivers via Automatix? are they good?
[07:57] <Be1> I'm new to Linux and don't have any idea how to do it.
[07:57] <winkman> Nostahl: You could install the xubuntu packages, which is a lighter gui
[07:57] <erUSUL> !fonts | Be1
[07:57] <ubotu> Be1: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[07:57] <soldats> Be1, theres a font folder to put the .tff files in
[07:57] <Nostahl> ty winkman i'll start googling it
[07:58] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, Why use Automatix ? Are you having problems installing it otherwise?
[07:58] <sharsa> !sharsa HDAIntel

[07:58] <sharsa> thx
[07:58] <winkman> !APTonCD
[07:58] <ubotu> APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[07:59] <Be1> Thanks.
[07:59] <Be1> Hopefully this'll work.
[07:59] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, You can edit Xorg.conf I recall to get better resolutions if your card supports it
[07:59] <arooni> sethk, i mean the default port for FTP... is 21?
[08:00] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: still didnt work, any other ideas?
[08:00] <mo> I tried it
[08:00] <winkman>  Hi... I"ve just burnt an APTonCD disc, and i'm trying to re-install the packages on it... can someone walk me through? I'm getting an error when i try to add it as a CD in Synaptic
[08:00] <MontoyaC> Filled-void: I tried that, it wouldn't support the higher ones, my guess is that the drivers just weren't recognizing the monitor right
[08:00] <mo> kept on saying read only still
[08:00] <mo> and im in root :)
[08:00] <Nostahl> so xubuntu is an entire distro? or just a package for ubuntu with xfce
[08:00] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: think it could be the wireing in my speakers?
[08:00] <MontoyaC> mo: Did you disconnect the drive from another computer in a hurry? I noticed Windows locks the drives if you don't unmount properly
[08:00] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, it may be a faulty card. wires may be bad or connection
[08:01] <bazhang> Nostahl: distro
[08:01] <arooni> i created a new connection in ubuntu........ but when i try to connect..... a firefox tab is opened.... nothing else ;(
[08:01] <mo> its a laptop , no I didnt
[08:01] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, yes, its a laptop right
[08:01] <winkman> Nostahl: It's a distro, but you can install the xfce packages
[08:01] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: yeah
[08:01] <winkman> (separately)
[08:01] <winkman> !xfce
[08:01] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[08:01] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, if so id have a tech look at it, id do it but im sure your nowhere close to me
[08:01] <winkman> arooni: Go and check nautilus for it.
[08:01] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: lol, yeah
[08:01] <winkman> (In the side menu > Places View)
[08:02] <arooni> wait.... now it works :P
[08:02] <arooni> yay
[08:02] <Nostahl> so i cant type apt-get install xfce4
[08:02] <Nostahl> i have to type apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ?
[08:02] <DarkW0lf> I'm quite enjoying Compiz Fusion
[08:02] <winkman> Nostahl: I think you can... go and check the xfce site...
[08:02] <soldats> NeT_DeMoN, but yea a tech near you may be the best bet
[08:02] <DarkW0lf> I wrote my name in fire on the desktop :P
[08:02] <MontoyaC> I don't get it, xfce looks like plain ubuntu?
[08:02] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: ok
[08:02] <bazhang> Nostahl: sure you can--though that should be xubuntu-desktop
[08:02] <soldats> MontoyaC, totally wrong
[08:03] <mo> its strange
[08:03] <winkman> DarkWOlf: lol
[08:03] <NeT_DeMoN> soldats: people in texas are retarded though :P

[08:04] <Filled-void> poppy75, Amarok, Exaile ?
[08:05] <soldats> MontoyaC, its more minimalistic like simpler menues lighter weight and a faster but more minimal file manager
[08:05] <wasme> poppy75: I use rhythmbox, ... amarok seems more popular though.
[08:05] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: install ccsm
[08:05] <mo> THANKS :D
[08:05] <DarkW0lf> the cube feature?
[08:05] <poppy75> will amarok support my ipod?
[08:05] <DarkW0lf> as in...?
[08:05] <DarkW0lf> Compiz Fusion?
[08:05] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, where from
[08:05] <Filled-void> poppy75, yes
[08:05] <MontoyaC> soldats: Oh, yeah, it comes packages with different menu managers. I guess that's okay
[08:05] <winkman> NeT_DeMoN: Check out the advanced settings for compiz fusion... you'll be able to find it there

[08:06] <Filled-void> poppy75, yw
[08:06] <amitprakash> how do i set socks proxy for aptitude in command line like "export http_proxy" for http
[08:06] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Compiz Fusion is included with Gutsy
[08:06] <NeT_DeMoN> darkwolf:yeah, every one thats come out
[08:06] <DarkW0lf> I got mine through updating Gutsy with all the features
[08:06] <unikon>  is there any way i can order 10 free Gutsy 7.10 cd's for free from canonical i only see an option for 1 cd
[08:06] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: It's what provides the special effects like desktops on a 3D cube
[08:07] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: gusty???
[08:07] <winkman> unikon: Check out shipit?
[08:07] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: wheres that?
[08:07] <Fyda> NeT_DeMoN: Erm. Ubuntu 7.10 is also known as Gutsy
[08:07] <DarkW0lf> if you have it installed it's under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[08:07] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: open up synaptic, enable repositories, hit reload, then find ccsm and compiz-gnome, hit apply updates
[08:07] <unikon>  i am lol all i see is for 1 free cd
[08:07] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: ok
[08:07] <MontoyaC> Fyda: That's news to me
[08:07] <winkman> unikon: Hmm... Buy 10 CDr's then? lol
[08:08] <winkman> unikon: Sorry... not sure
[08:08] <bazhang> shipit unikon?
[08:08] <unikon>  ive gotten 10 free before
[08:08] <Fyda> MontoyaC: What is?
[08:08] <DarkW0lf> Also wise to go to System > Pref > Appearance and select the full effects setting
[08:08] <DarkW0lf> Under the Visual Effects Tab
[08:08] <MontoyaC> Fyda: That it comes with compiz-fusion. Does that mean if I upgrade to Gutsy I'll have compiz by default?
[08:08] <DarkW0lf> it's called Extra
[08:08] <winkman> MontoyaC: yup
[08:09] <bazhang> MontoyaC: yes, basic stuff
[08:09] <DarkW0lf> Winkman: What's the one to use for the freely rotating cube? I can't seem to find it
[08:09] <MontoyaC> winkman bazhang: I'll have to try that later
[08:09] <Fyda> MontoyaC: Yeah, only they're labeled "Visual Effects" and enabled via GNOME's Appearance settings
[08:09] <DarkW0lf> ah nevermind I got it
[08:09] <amitprakash> how do i set socks proxy for aptitude in command line like "export http_proxy" for http???
[08:10] <DarkW0lf> Control-Alt Mouse Button 1
[08:10] <MontoyaC> Fyda: Oh hey, I think Feisty has that too
[08:10] <DarkW0lf> :P
[08:10] <Fyda> MontoyaC: One of the goals of integration with Ubuntu is that people don't have to know what Compiz is -- they'll just have these effects which are a natural part of the system
[08:10] <MontoyaC> Fyda: I know, that makes sense
[08:10] <Fyda> MontoyaC: Yes, but Feisty had a really old version of it (0.3-ish, I think?) and the one in Gutsy is 0.6.
[08:10] <MontoyaC> Fyda: It should be more obvious though
[08:10] <soldats> amitprakash, maybe in the config
[08:10] <amitprakash> soldats, erm how ^^
[08:10] <MontoyaC> Fyda: What's an easy way to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy? Via CD?
[08:11] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: synaptic package manager right?
[08:11] <DarkW0lf> Fyda: I would think so.
[08:11] <Fyda> MontoyaC: I guess we're in an awkward transitional state, where some people know what Compiz is and don't recognise it in Gutsy (so they try to install it), and others don't know what it is...
[08:11] <bazhang> MontoyaC: via the command line :}
[08:11] <soldats> amitprakash, it was a suggestion. not sure.
[08:11] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: yes
[08:11] <MontoyaC> Fyda: Well, some people still install Beryl -.-
[08:11] <MontoyaC> bazhang: What would be the correct command?
[08:11] <Fyda> MontoyaC: Mm, the upgrade manager should at least tell you that there's a new dist version...
[08:11] <DarkW0lf> Aero be damn! >:D
[08:12] <CroX> My laptop just now started to work like crazy, processor being at 90-100% usage. But when I check the System Monitor, nothing was shown to take that much.
[08:12] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: it downloaded some stuff whe i did and it refreshed itself, is that supposed to happen?
[08:12] <CroX> And now, apparently, 99% of the RAM is filled.
[08:12] <flipfone>  hi. i was using a pkg to build/install a new kernel it crapped out and now my package manager is broken all i get is .E: The package linux-image-2.6.23.9 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it i have located and removed all file that said 2.6.23.9 can anyone help?
[08:12] <MontoyaC> CroX: maybe a background service? Checking for updates?
[08:12] <DarkW0lf> I mean.. I collapsed the cube, and ran the benchtest on it, with a moving running in VLC media player and I was getting well over 100 FPS
[08:12] <wasme> Crox: top
[08:12] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: yes, now do a search for ccsm, and compiz-gnome and then mark both to install
[08:12] <Thornsberry> I have kind of a strange problem and don't know what to really do about it.
[08:13] <Thornsberry> I was wondering if someone might be able to help.
[08:13] <CroX> MontoyaC: Heh. You're right. I just got a update available notification. But how the *** can that fill my enitre RAM up?
[08:13] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, thanks
[08:13] <DarkW0lf> though right now I'm running 46...
[08:13] <wasme> Crox: type that into the commandline ... it's a useful little program that'll show you what is using CPU cycles and memory.
[08:13] <Fyda> MontoyaC: The online upgrade would require the download of roughly 600+ MB of packages though (at least, this was my experience). It is _also_ possible to download the Alternate CD and use it as a repo in Synaptic (for an offline upgrade).
[08:13] <MontoyaC> CroX: I have no idea, are there a lot of updates???
[08:13] <DarkW0lf> then again it is an old AGP nVidia 6600GT
[08:13] <soldats> !ask
[08:13] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:13] <CroX> wasme: System Monitor seems to ge the GUI front end for that, no?
[08:13] <CroX> MontoyaC: One, of wine.
[08:14] <MontoyaC> Fyda: I'm thinking I'd rather just insert the CD I have and do an upgrade there, right?
[08:14] <MontoyaC> CroX: That makes no sense. Run top
[08:14] <wasme> Crox: I don't know, I don't use System Monitor. But posisbly, yes.
[08:14] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: when i did the search, all that come up was sdcc
[08:14] <DarkW0lf> Probably the best thing to do would be to download an Ubuntu live cd and run the upgrade startup
[08:14] <soldats> CroX, type top in a terminal
[08:14] <DarkW0lf> I do believe I saw one when I was installing
[08:14] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: did you enable the new repositories?
[08:14] <CroX> Yeah, I got top running.
[08:14] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: Yeah I have that... I'll do that
[08:14] <Thornsberry> I'm trying to read websites in Pashto and the font on them is all messed up.  Half the letters are in a different style of font and not connected like the Arabic script would be and I can't really read it at all.  But if I copy it and paste it into anything else it all goes to the same type of font without any problems.  Anyone know what could be causing the websites to be messed up like that or what I could do to fix it?
[08:14] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i think so
[08:15] <Fyda> MontoyaC: Not sure about using the regular live CD for a full upgrade... I was told to use the alt CD.
[08:15] <CroX> The CPU isn't working that much anymore but the RAM is still filled up.
[08:15] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: there is other stuff you want to install--better double check
[08:15] <MontoyaC> Fyda: Hmm, darn
[08:15] <soldats> Thornsberry, it may be the sites fault
[08:15] <Thornsberry> It's like that on all of the websites though.
[08:15] <Fyda> MontoyaC: but if you can leave your computer on for those several hours, then I guess, go for it?
[08:15] <MontoyaC> Fyda: I'm so tired of burning Linux CD's -.-
[08:15] <Thornsberry> No matter which one I try to go to.
[08:15] <bazhang> Thornsberry: install language support
[08:15] <Fyda> MontoyaC: (for the online upgrade, I mean)
[08:16] <MontoyaC> Fyda: When I get back from my trip, sure
[08:16] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, repositories under (settings>repositories) right?
[08:16] <Fyda> MontoyaC: Haha, I have a CD album full of different distro discs :D
[08:16] <Thornsberry> Any idea where I could get Pashto language support?
[08:16] <DarkW0lf> MontoyaC: get used to it :P
[08:16] <MontoyaC> I'm just glad I have Ubuntu working on my old laptop, kudos to Ubuntu for that
[08:16] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: yes
[08:16] <soldats> !phasto
[08:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about phasto - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:16] <DarkW0lf> me personally I got tired of having to restart Windows every time I tried to do anything
[08:16] <soldats> !pashto
[08:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pashto - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:16] <Fyda> MontoyaC: It's always fun to try something new. And hey, a live CD can be useful for emergency rescue
[08:17] <CroX> MontoyaC: Seems as if FF is eating 375MB RAM.
[08:17] <DarkW0lf> and I've used Linux on again off again for about 4 years now
[08:17] <soldats> Thornsberry, google maybe
[08:17] <MontoyaC> CroX: That's so typical of FF, how many tabs do you have open? Any JS running?
[08:17] <Filled-void> CroX, HOw much ram do you have on your system again?
[08:17] <CroX> 1024MB
[08:17] <earlmred> wow, no language pack for pashto
[08:17] <CroX> Six tabs open. No running JS that I know of.
[08:17] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: can you give me kind of like a walkthrough?
[08:17] <soldats> CroX, theres a few ways to reduce that so i would google for the right things to do. it is a mem hog. or you could use a different browser
[08:18] <Filled-void> CroX, As said above FF does that alot :D . Out of curiosity do tyou have a service called trackerd in there?
[08:18] <DarkW0lf> I've used Fedora Core 2, CentOS, Redhat 9, and briefly used Gentoo. So far I'm liking Gutsy...
[08:18] <MontoyaC> CroX: I remember when that was a lot -.-
[08:18] <chronodekar> I'm new.
[08:18] <wasme> CroX: Firefox has memory leaks .. if you leave it open for several days it'll start eating a lot of memory.
[08:18] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: I've used Redhat. I wouldn't put anything other than ubuntu on my machines. So simple
[08:18] <earlmred> Thornsberry, try msttcorefonts
[08:18] <CroX> wasme: I just now opened it! :O
[08:18] <soldats> wasme, moar like a day
[08:18] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: Well, Ubuntu and Vista :-)
[08:18] <CroX> Filled-void: You mean an addon for FF?
[08:19] <chronodekar> Does anyone here know how to compile the debian installer?
[08:19] <DarkW0lf> MontoyaC: I've had trouble with older versions of Ubuntu
[08:19] <bazhang> Thornsberry: is pashto an Arabic language?
[08:19] <earlmred> Thornsberry, also make sure Arabic is installed
[08:19] <Filled-void> CroX, No a service calld trackerd in your system monitor its known to benotorious for eatign up memory sometimes :x
[08:19] <DarkW0lf> recently I had... 7.04 which didn't have WPA support for wireless
[08:19] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: I've only gotten into it recently. I've had trouble with the amd64 versions
[08:19] <beasty_> mm anyone here has a samsung printer ?
[08:19] <earlmred> Thornsberry, perhaps "ttf-kacst"
[08:19] <DarkW0lf> and I couldn't install nVidia updates cause it screwed up with Gnome
[08:20] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: what all do i click in the repositories?
[08:20] <CroX> It seems that I have trackerd running.
[08:20] <DarkW0lf> I think that's what my trouble was. it was a 64bit version
[08:20] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: I was on here yesterday trying to get 7.10 working with my ethernet card... had to install 7.04 instead
[08:20] <DarkW0lf> there's probably not enough support of 64bit yet...
[08:20] <Thornsberry> I found a Pashto language pack and tried to install it and got an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable" what does that mean?
[08:20] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: did you enable the partner repositories? then hit reload? then search for compiz--that should come up with compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-gnome both of which you want
[08:20] <earlmred> the only thing i don't like about 64bit is lack of firefox plugins.
[08:20] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: The whole industry sucks at 64 bit support. It's sad
[08:20] <DarkW0lf> although... Gentoo AMD64 LiveCD installed rather seamlessly
[08:20] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[08:20] <bazhang> Thornsberry: where did you find it? in the repositories?
[08:21] <earlmred> having to run 32bit firefox to have plugins is, well, lame.
[08:21] <DarkW0lf> however I was in the dark ages for a while (Student with no internet for a year... Woe is me... :P ) and couldn't get updates
[08:21] <wasme> Thornsberry: are you using apt-get?
[08:21] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: where do i enable the partner repositories at?
[08:21] <DarkW0lf> that was... 2006.0 iirc
[08:21] <Thornsberry> I don't know how to use apt-get.
[08:21] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: Seriously, that story makes me cry. No Internet for a year? That's horrible
[08:21] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i dont see where it says anything with "partner" in it
[08:21] <Thornsberry> This is my second day having Linux so I'm still trying to learn how to do everything.
[08:21] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: in the repositories settings--take a look around on the various tabs
[08:22] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang:ok
[08:22] <Thornsberry> I got the language pack from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:22] <DarkW0lf> MontoyaC: I survived... whether I survived with my sanity is another thing :P
[08:22] <DarkW0lf> then again I never claimed to be sane so meh :P
[08:22] <bazhang> Thornsberry: which version of Ubuntu? 7.10?
[08:22] <Thornsberry> I believe so.
[08:22] <Filled-void> Sigh Im having one of those connectivity days. What problems did you have with AMD64 MontoyaC
[08:22] <Thornsberry> Yeah, I am.
[08:23] <wasme> Thornsberry: don't d/l packgaes manually like that. Ubuntu will fetch them and d/l them for you along with required depedencies
[08:23] <MontoyaC> no amd64 just had graphics problems
[08:23] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gusty partner?
[08:23] <bazhang> Thornsberry: what is the default language? English?
[08:23] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: yes
[08:23] <MontoyaC> it was i386 gutsy that had connectivity problems... didn't like the broadcom drivers
[08:23] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, Laptop install?
[08:23] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhag: its been enabled
[08:23] <wasme> Thornsberry: The easiest way to do this would be to run synaptic .. .I'm not sure if it's installed by default however?
[08:23] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang^^
[08:23] <MontoyaC> Filled-void: Yes, this most recent beast of mine. Old laptop too.
[08:24] <DarkW0lf> MontoyaC: is that Ubuntu 64 bit problems?
[08:24] <Thornsberry> Yeah, the default language is English.
[08:24] <bazhang> search for those packages by searching for compiz in the search field now NeT_DeMoN
[08:24] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, Thers an article about settign up Gutsy for speed if you dare to try it . Its pretty interesting
[08:24] <pepsi_> hi
[08:24] <wasme> Thornsberry: go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[08:24] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[08:24] <MontoyaC> DarkW0lf: I don't have the 64 bit installed anymore. Not worth it.
[08:24] <pepsi_> where can i find the alternate cd for i386?
[08:24] <MontoyaC> Filled-void: Link?
[08:24] <Thornsberry> Okay, I'm there.
[08:24] <DarkW0lf> the problem I also had with 7.04 was no WPA support for wireless
[08:24] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, 1 sec
[08:24] <bazhang> !alternate
[08:24] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[08:24] <wasme> Thornsberry: if Synaptic Package Manager isn't listed then I'll tell you how to install it
[08:24] <DarkW0lf> it only had WEP support
[08:24] <Thornsberry> It's there.
[08:24] <Thornsberry> I have it open.
[08:24] <jxxt> wasme, I just searched synaptic no pashto
[08:25] <pepsi_> bazhang, im looking on cdimages.ubuntu.com.. i can find the i386 dvd and alternate cds for others platforms
[08:25] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, what all do i install??
[08:25] <pepsi_> but not the alternate cd for i386
[08:25] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/howto-set-up-gutsy-for-speed/ read it first before trying anything
[08:25] <jxxt> wasme, maybe my bad spelling :)
[08:25] <bazhang> you may want to try Ubuntu Muslim Edition Thornsberry, or reinstall and choose pashto as the default language
[08:26] <MontoyaC> Filled-void: Thanks!
[08:26] <Thornsberry> Well I don't want Pashto as the default language because I'm not that fluent in it yet.
[08:26] <wasme> ThornsBerry: ok, what's the name of the package you d/l'ed earlier?
[08:26] <Filled-void> MontoyaC, Yw
[08:26] <Thornsberry> It was language-pack-ps
[08:26] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: oy. ever heard of scrolling up? compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome
[08:26] <Louis> hello, someone know how can i set my sound manager PCM lineal, not logarith
[08:26] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: yeah, my bad, you from australia???
[08:26] <Thornsberry> And Pashto wasn't even on the list of default languages, I checked.
[08:26] <wasme> Thornsberry: ok, click on the search button and type that in
[08:27] <pepsi_> hrm
[08:27] <JDahl> something very odd happened out of the blue with my keymapping in gnome, the <Fn> key is "reversed" in the sense that to get type the regular characters I have to press <Fn>.  Any suggestions of how to fix that?
[08:27] <bazhang> Thornsberry: it's listed as pushto in the repositories
[08:27] <pepsi_> ok, its on this here mirror, just not on cdimages.ubuntu.com
[08:27] <Thornsberry> Oh.
[08:27] <Thornsberry> I guess it depends who you talk to and how they pronounce it.
[08:28] <jxxt> no wonder I could not find it :))
[08:28] <bazhang> Thornsberry: sudo apt-get install language-pack-ps language-pack-ps-base in the terminal
[08:28] <arooni> what is the 'dreamweaver' for linux?
[08:28] <sethk> pepsi_, on this here mirror?  Y'all come back now, y'hear?
[08:28] <pepsi_> heh
[08:28] <wasme> Thornsberry: you can then select it to install from there ... but reading the description in synaptic you probably also want to install language-support-ps
[08:28] <sethk> pepsi_, sorry, couldn't resist.  :)
[08:28] <MontoyaC> arooni: Aptana or Screem
[08:28] <flipfone> can anyone help with a broken package manager?
[08:29] <pepsi_> s'aright.. i like saying "this here".. and "who now" and "what now" when asking who and what someone is talking about :D
[08:29] <Thornsberry> How do I install in through synaptic?
[08:29] <DarkW0lf> ok question. Is there any anti-aliasing stuff in Compiz Fusion?
[08:29] <Thornsberry> I tried the sudo apt-get install and it didn't work.
[08:29] <Thornsberry> It said permission denied.
[08:29] <Thornsberry> And asked, "are you root?"
[08:30] <Flannel> Thornsberry: Do you have synaptic open somewhere else?
[08:30] <DarkW0lf> do sudo
[08:30] <bazhang> language-pack-gnome-ps-base language-pack-gnome-ps also Thornsberry
[08:30] <wasme> Thornsberry: right click on the package you want installed in the upper right pane and select 'Mark for Installation'
[08:30] <jxxt> Thornsberry, it is sudo apt-get
[08:30] <wasme> Thornsberry: then click the 'apply' button on the button bar
[08:30] <bazhang> Thornsberry: first close synaptic :}
[08:30] <Thornsberry> I tried closing it and it said the same thing.
[08:31] <Flannel> Thornsberry: What exactly is the error?
[08:31] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: what all do i do now?
[08:31] <Filled-void> arooni, For further alternatives you can check http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives also
[08:31] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i installed all the things you told me to
[08:31] <Thornsberry> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[08:31] <Thornsberry> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[08:32] <wasme> Thornsberry: uh, you were asked for your password before running synaptic right?
[08:32] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: did you find them? then install them, and then open the ccsm (the new thing you installed) and set some choices up
[08:32] <Flannel> Thornsberry: and you have no other update-manager, add/remove, synaptic, aptitude, etc open?
[08:32] <Thornsberry> Yes I was.
[08:32] <MontoyaC> Thornsberry: Close everything except this and terminal
[08:32] <Filled-void> Thornsberry, Close all windows open other than your IRC client and then run sudo apt-get install on the package
[08:33] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i havent opened ccsm yet, hold up
[08:33] <Thornsberry> It still says the same thing.  Could something be running in the background?
[08:33] <wasme> hmmm
[08:34] <MontoyaC> Thornsberry: I would restart... that happened to me once.
[08:34] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: open ccsm through the synaptic package manager?
[08:34] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: then check the key bindings for the things you want to run (key combos), type alt-f2, and in that box type compiz --replace if you have your video drivers properly installed you'll be able to get the 3d cube etc, if not, back to square one
[08:34] <Fyda> Thornsberry: In a terminal, what is the output of "ps x | grep apt"?
[08:34] <Thornsberry> I had just restarted before I joined.
[08:35] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: no, should be in settings--advanced desktop effects manager
[08:35] <\`slushpuppy`\> !gnome
[08:35] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:35] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, thanks
[08:35] <Thornsberry> It is at 6334 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep apt
[08:35] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Alsomake sure you set one of those boxes to 4 otherwise you dont get the cube :x Not sure which box it was will check in a second
[08:35] <bazhang> !aptfix | Thornsberry
[08:35] <ubotu> Thornsberry: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[08:35] <MontoyaC> thanks for your help everyone. I have a plane to catch!
[08:35] <bazhang> bye montoyac
[08:37] <Thornsberry> bazhang:  Okay I did that now try the apt-get install again?
[08:37] <bazhang> as Filled-void says NeT_DeMoN make sure to check in general settings (inside ccsm) horizontal virtual desktops is set to four
[08:37] <bazhang> Thornsberry: you did both of those commands? there are two there
[08:37] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[08:38] <bazhang> Thornsberry: the second command is sudo dpkg --configure -a
[08:39] <Thornsberry> ON the sudo dpkg --configure -a it tells me that the operation requires superuser privilege.
[08:39] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: when i ran compiz through run, it just flashed the screen
[08:39] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: was that supposed to happen?
[08:39] <bazhang> Thornsberry: don't forget the sudo and then your password when it prompts you for it
[08:39] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: yes
[08:39] <Fyda> bazhang, NeT_DeMoN, Filled-void: Actually, the number of viewports can also be configured via the Workspace Switcher in the GNOME panel (it now also handles Compiz's horiz and vert size).
[08:40] <bazhang> Fyda: thanks for that!
[08:40] <Fyda> bazhang: (In Gutsy, anyway :P)
[08:40] <bazhang> hehe
[08:40] <NeT_DeMoN> fyda: gnome panel??
[08:41] <bazhang> the taskbar NeT_DeMoN
[08:41] <Fyda> bazhang: (Seems to be non-standard in GNOME though -- I'm looking at non-Ubuntu GNOME and it doesn't have that.)
[08:41] <Thornsberry> It doesn't ask for my password whenever I type it in.
[08:41] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: oh, ok
[08:41] <bazhang> Fyda: same here (kde) :}
[08:41] <bazhang> Thornsberry: with the sudo prepended?
[08:42] <sethk> Thornsberry, it remembers the password for some period of time, several minutes by default.
[08:42] <Thornsberry> I just typed the second command and it didn't do anything this time.
[08:42]  * bazhang realizes that kde is really non-standard gnome
[08:42] <NeT_DeMoN> i must not have my video card done right because i dont have the 3-D effect or is there something else i have to do for that?
[08:43] <Thornsberry> So what should I try now?
[08:43] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: you did say compiz would do that right?
[08:43] <ogre> how do I edit my conkyrc file?
[08:43] <chetnick> ogre
[08:43] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Go to the terminal and type glxinfo :grep endering  (No theres no R)
[08:43] <ogre> chetnick:  yes?
[08:44] <Filled-void> glxinfo | grep endering ^
[08:44] <Thornsberry> bazhang:  Any idea?
[08:44] <dave_> anyone no what this shit is for
[08:44] <chetnick> ogre: zcat /usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz > ~/.conkyrc
[08:45] <chetnick> ogre:  and than vi .conkyrc
[08:45] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: ok, how should i type it, like "glxinfo" then "grep endering" or all together??
[08:45] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: try some key combos that you have checked plugins for
[08:45] <chetnick> or pico conkyrc
[08:45] <ogre> chetnick:  thanks
[08:45] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[08:45] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Copy the command :)
[08:45] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: ok
[08:45] <bazhang> Thornsberry: that should be ok then--try to install the packages now
[08:45] <chetnick> ogre here is nice tutorial for conky http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704
[08:46] <dave_> can anyone help me with an amarok problem ive been having it keeps saying it needs the right demux
[08:46] <bazhang> Thornsberry: for future reference--you can search for packages in the terminal with apt-cache search packagename
[08:46] <andruk> what do i need to backup before installing the proprietary nvidia driver?
[08:46] <bazhang> dave please watch your language :}
[08:46] <chetnick> andruk: i think xorg.cofn
[08:46] <dave_> sorry
[08:46] <chetnick> xorg.conf*
[08:47] <wasme> andruk: you might want to backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:47] <dave_> im just so frustrated with amarok
[08:47] <bazhang> dave_: for doing what? play mp3?
[08:47] <andruk> wasme: is that it?
[08:47] <chetnick> dave_ can you copy the error massage here ?
[08:47] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, What did it say?
[08:47] <dave_> hold on
[08:47] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Okay, it installed the three of them, now do I need to restart?
[08:47] <wasme> andruk: I think so. At least nothing else comes to mind that should be modified.
[08:47] <jaggz-> I'm still under Hoary
[08:48] <jaggz-> and my python2.4-dev won't install
[08:48] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: it said it was yes to the direct rendering
[08:48] <simion314> did you know that Internet Exploarer as 85% of the market ? and there are other good browser that can be used
[08:48] <bazhang> Thornsberry: should be four
[08:48] <andruk> wasme: thx
[08:48] <Thornsberry> Okay, I got it.
[08:48] <dave_> earlier it kept saying it couldnt play the radio streams due to not having demux handlers
[08:48] <bazhang> Thornsberry: logging out and back in should do it iirc
[08:48] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: welcome back by the way and thanks for your help
[08:48] <compwiz18> does the alt+f2 shortcut work in Kubuntu as it does in Gnome?
[08:49] <Thornsberry> Alright.
[08:49] <bazhang> dave_: shoutcast? or other please specify
[08:49] <bazhang> compwiz18: yes
[08:49] <compwiz18> bazhang: thanks
[08:49] <Thornsberry> bazhang: thanks for your help.
[08:49] <sethk> compwiz18, yes
[08:49] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, When you said you dont have 3d . What error did you get. Im having a bad connectivity day :/
[08:49] <bazhang> no worries
[08:49] <jaggz-> python2.4-dev says it depends on python2.4, but there is no python2.4.  Python 2.4 files are, however, installed on my system, but not from a package called "python2.4".
[08:49] <dave_> shoutcast and everything, amarok wont even come on now when i press the icon nothing happens
[08:49] <jaggz-> in fact, dpkg -s 'file in some python2.4 place' doesn't find a package
[08:50] <jaggz-> can I force-install python2.4-dev from aptitude?
[08:50] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: i can see but what do you mean?
[08:50] <bazhang> dave_: is this gutsy?
[08:50] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Is there a certain error you get when you try to view the cube?
[08:50] <abhi> #apache-modules
[08:50] <dave_> yes
[08:50] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Nothing changed.
[08:50] <pecaso123> hi there
[08:51] <sethk> jaggz-, yes, there are flags to force it to install and ignore dependencies.
[08:51] <bazhang> dave_: try launching amarok from the terminal--see what error message comes up
[08:51] <DarkW0lf> hmm that's interesting
[08:51] <dave_> it wont work with gutsy ubuntu,kubutu,or edubuntu
[08:51] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: i have the cube but i dont know how to view it
[08:51] <Thornsberry> bazhang: it is still in two different fonts.
[08:51] <sethk> jaggz-, -f with apt-get, I believe
[08:52] <DarkW0lf> when I put my ms memory card into my card reader it immediately mounted it and even put an image to it so it was easy to find...
[08:52] <Thornsberry> bazhang:  Any other ideas that might help me fix it?
[08:52] <bazhang> Thornsberry: hmm--perhaps there are fonts to install--or something to add to firefox; not much of a pushto/pashto reader myself so flying in the dark :}
[08:52] <chetnick> dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins
[08:52] <dave_> bazhang: do you know of any other good music apps that provide some good music streams
[08:52] <chetnick> and restart amarok
[08:52] <chetnick> it should work
[08:52] <jaggz-> sethk, trying..
[08:53] <jaggz->   python2.4-dev: Depends: python2.4 (= 2.4.1-0) but 2.4.1-0ubuntu0.2 is to be installed
[08:53] <bazhang> dave_: exaile, rhythmbox, songbird (not sure about the last)
[08:53] <jaggz-> apt-get install python2.4 says: python2.4 is already the newest version.
[08:53] <Thornsberry> bazhang: I instaled some fonts and it started showing the letters that it didn't have before but now it is more messed up than it was.
[08:53] <bazhang> dave_: maybe first listen to chetnick and fix amarok :}
[08:53] <sethk> jaggz-, it that doesn't do it, you'll need to use dpkg
[08:54] <sethk> jaggz-, it has --ignore-depends=python2.4.1-0
[08:54] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Im assuming you enabled Rotate Cube from CCSM and then set the number of walls to 4
[08:54] <bazhang> Thornsberry: is this pushto only, or mixed arabic and pushto
[08:55] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: yeah
[08:55] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Further you have to set Appearance to Extra You want to do this first and then the other step above
[08:55] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Well Pashto uses the Arabic script but has a few letters that are unique just to itself that it adds to the alphabet.
[08:55] <jaggz-> sethk, that's it.. hmm.. how do I download the packages from the default locations (I can just get them from web search if necessary)
[08:55] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: where do i do that at??
[08:55] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, If you did these what happesn when you press Ctrl + Shift + Left mouse button and drag it
[08:56] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Er not shift alt
[08:56] <bazhang> Thornsberry: then you need to install the arabic language support as well--apt-cache search arabic will tell you which, or you can do it via synaptic
[08:56] <Filled-void> Net System > Preferences >Appearance
[08:56] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN,  System > Preferences >Appearance
[08:56] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Do you think that I might have to find the unicode font for Pashto and install that?
[08:56] <dave_> chetnick: do i put those commands in seperate or as one sudo command
[08:56] <jaggz-> like, apt-get download .. :)  the -d (download only) option doesn't seem to work, but might if the dependencies didn't fail.
[08:56] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: ok
[08:56] <Wing> Is there a util that will search the filesystem for broken symlinks (and won't get trapped in recursive symlinks)
[08:57] <jaggz-> (that is, apt-get -d install python2.4-dev doesn't work either)
[08:57] <bazhang> Thornsberry: perhaps, as well as installing the arabic language packs
[08:57] <dave_> sorry im new to the command line
[08:57] <Thornsberry> bazhang: The Arabic works fine.
[08:57] <jaggz-> Wing, do you have one which gets trapped in recursive symlinks?  :)
[08:57] <dave_> but not completely new
[08:57] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Now does pressing ctrl + alt +left mouse (drag the mouse while you do it) show a cube
[08:57] <Thornsberry> bazhang:  It's just a problem with the Pashto.
[08:57] <chetnick> dave_: just copy what i wrote
[08:57] <DarkW0lf> how many windows haters are there in the channel? :P
[08:57] <chetnick> dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins
[08:57] <jaggz-> don't be a hater
[08:57] <dave_> me
[08:57] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: when i did that, it took the cube away
[08:57] <chetnick> starting with sudo
[08:57] <bazhang> DarkW0lf: offtopic, but apparently at least one :}
[08:57] <Wing> jaggz- : No, just anticipating a dumb problem
[08:57] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, So you get the cube?
[08:57] <chetnick> and paste in the command line
[08:58] <dave_> i hate windows, love ubuntu and thank you chetnick
[08:58] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: i had the cube
[08:58] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: it works?
[08:58] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, gah I must have misunderstood
[08:58] <DarkW0lf> dave_: trouble with Amarok?
[08:58] <Fyda> DarkW0lf: Hating is not necessary, and may not even be right, but it is still practised nonetheless. And that's all I'll say of that.
[08:59] <bazhang> haha
[08:59] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: it did, just with out the 3-D effect
[08:59] <dave_> Reading package lists... Done
[08:59] <dave_> Building dependency tree
[08:59] <dave_> Reading state information... Done
[08:59] <dave_> amarok-xine is already the newest version.
[08:59] <dave_> amarok-xine set to manual installed.
[08:59] <dave_> libxine1 is already the newest version.
[08:59] <DarkW0lf> no 3D?
[08:59] <dave_> libxine1 set to manual installed.
[08:59] <bazhang> cube without 3D? huh?
[08:59] <dave_> Package libxine1-kde is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:59] <dave_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:59] <dave_> is only available from another source
[08:59] <dave_> However the following packages replace it:
[08:59] <dave_>   libxine1-plugins
[08:59] <dave_> E: Package libxine1-kde has no installation candidate
[08:59] <JDahl> do more people have problems with inverted Function keys in gnome atter recent updates in 7.04?
[08:59] <jaggz-> Wing, hopefully a developer of such an app has kept that in mind.. but i can imagine a simple script not handling it.  :)
[08:59] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: yeah, like your talking about with the zoom out right??
[08:59] <DarkW0lf> I got Amarok to install easily in Gnome
[09:00] <dave_> it seems like its not recognizing amarok
[09:00] <DarkW0lf> well it seems to be running fine anyway...
[09:00] <poeticrpm> are there any apps that are designed for KDE that dont work in Gnome, and vice versa? Just curious
[09:00] <DarkW0lf> JDahl: inverted function keys?
[09:01] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: there are a ton of effects to play with--you need to enable them in ccsm and then find the correct keybindings for each and try them out--I would recommend the scale effect
[09:01] <chetnick> poeticrpm: almost all of them
[09:01] <bazhang> JDahl: in 7.04?
[09:01] <DarkW0lf> poeticrpm: there are some that may struggle
[09:01] <dave_> when i click on the amarok icon it just does nothing
[09:01] <DarkW0lf> but most should be fine
[09:01] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[09:01] <susscorfa> every time i reboot my window selection rules are reset, i want them to not raise when the mouse is over them
[09:01] <Wing> jaggz-: If there's one thing working in software has taught me, it's that most developers can't tell their arse from a paper bag.
[09:01] <bazhang> dave_: try launching it from the terminal and see what the error messages are
[09:02] <tarelerulz> if any of the Ubuntu dev people here this  someone make an easy way to install from an usb thumb strike.  That could be very useful .  best reason is You could add changs to the install files on the usb thumb strike and thus make the install better or different as you see fit. Plus USB thumb drives are getting bigger all the time something to think of for the future . Plus great job on the windows installer for Ubuntu great idea
[09:02] <dave_> how
[09:02] <JDahl> DarkW0lf: yes, to type regular characters I have to press the <Fn> key on my laptop
[09:02] <chetnick> dave_: reinstall amarok, type sudo-apt get remove amarok, and than
[09:02] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: it just says scale right?
[09:02] <chetnick> dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins
[09:02] <poeticrpm> yeah, I know there is some bugs, but i was under they all worked to some extent.. ive never had problems, although I stick mostly to one or the other DE
[09:02] <chetnick> ups
[09:02] <ogre> how do i open my conkyrc up in gedit?
[09:02] <chetnick> mistake :)
[09:02] <bazhang> tarelerulz: pendrivelinux.com has the answer
[09:02] <andruk> after switching over to the proprietary graphics driver (nvidia) and rebooting, my comp froze on login, and ctrl+alt+F1 didnt do anything.  where do i go from here?
[09:02] <mattycoze> does anyone know what peerguardian equivalent would be for linux?
[09:02] <chetnick> and than
[09:02] <JDahl> bazhang: yes
[09:02] <chetnick> dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins
[09:02] <DarkW0lf> chetnick: could synaptic Package Manager be easier to install Amarok?
[09:02] <bazhang> moblock?
[09:02] <poeticrpm> gedit /home/user/.conkyrc
[09:03] <andruk> mattycoze: moblock
[09:03] <DarkW0lf> or Add/Remove?
[09:03] <chetnick> DarkW0lf: it might be i dont know
[09:03] <chetnick> i solved my problem
[09:03] <chetnick> like this
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Bazhang you sure you understand what I am talking about. I don't install to a USB thumbstick ,but from one ? us it like you would a live cd .
[09:03] <mattycoze> andruk yeah i had moblock a while ago, but couldn't find much information about it
[09:03] <poeticrpm> ogre, that work?
[09:03] <mattycoze> i thought the project was dead andruk
[09:03] <bazhang> tarelerulz: check the link
[09:03] <dave_>  sudo-apt get remove amarok
[09:03] <dave_> bash: sudo-apt: command not found

[09:04] <chetnick> sudo apt-get remove amarok
[09:04] <poeticrpm> sudo apt-get remove amarok
[09:04] <DarkW0lf> cause if I remember, I just wen to Applications > Add/Remove and selected Amarok from the list of Supported applications
[09:04] <andruk> mattycoze: im in the same boat, but i thought somebody was making a gui for it
[09:04] <ogre> poeticrpm:  well it opened gedit just an empty file though
[09:04] <bazhang> dave_: that is sudo apt-get
[09:04] <mattycoze> andruk that would be orgasmic
[09:04] <mattycoze> ... lol if it were true :p
[09:04] <dave_> cool
[09:04] <mattycoze> (silence)
[09:04] <ogre> poeticrpm:  so i dont think so

[09:07] <chetnick> ili siptaru
[09:07] <dave_> it says libxine is already the newest version
[09:07] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: to fill our heads with eye-candy?
[09:07] <DarkW0lf> dave_: If you can, try going to Applications > Add/Remove Applications
[09:08] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: lol
[09:08] <DarkW0lf> click on Sound & Video and click on Amarok from the list. Well that's how I did it anyway
[09:08] <ogre> chetnick:  I told u thank you earlier ;P
[09:08] <dave_> amarok no longer has a x in its box
[09:08] <mattycoze> andruk any news about when they might ahve a frontend up for moblock?
[09:08] <Jordan_U> rico, Probably a problem with HAL, try "sudo invoke-rc.d hal restart"
[09:08] <DarkW0lf> it SHOULD start a synaptic install
[09:09] <amitprakash> chetnick, whats a spitaru?
[09:09] <NeT_DeMoN> i like the windows preview, i thought after i got rid of vista i would never have it again :D
[09:09] <dave_> do a synaptic install
[09:09] <tarelerulz> Bazhang , I did not mean not to read it . I was just make use  You understood what i was talking about . that is all
[09:09] <mattycoze> and thx for the link andruk installing the backend now :p
[09:09] <chetnick> ogre: i didnt say you are welcome
[09:09] <chetnick> :)
[09:09]  * DarkW0lf shrugs
[09:09] <bazhang> tarelerulz: indeed :}
[09:09] <DarkW0lf> Linux isn't straight forward :P
[09:09] <DarkW0lf> then again nothing is :P
[09:09] <tarelerulz> Moblock don't work well on Ubuntu 7.10 for me at. I blocked web pages all which is very lame
[09:09] <mattycoze> andruk; is there a way to autoupdate the lists for moblock?
[09:09] <bazhang> everyone should read this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy
[09:10] <chetnick> bazhang: great doc.
[09:10] <mattycoze> tarelerulz did you tell it to stop blocking port 80?
[09:10] <bazhang> chetnick: so true
[09:10] <revilodraw> firefox waits for ages before loading the pages... my sister has the same laptop running xp and its way faster running internet explorer at loading pafes
[09:10] <chetnick> i found 95% of the stuff that i needed there
[09:10] <tarelerulz> I never read anything about how to use moblock .  The site said nothing about that. You just thought you install it and it did the rest .
[09:11] <tarelerulz> What is on port 80 ? just asking
[09:11] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Does it display local pages fast? Sounds like a DNS rather than rendering issue
[09:11] <dave_> i just did a synaptic install and amarok is still doing the same thing when i click on the icon it just does nothing
[09:11] <winkman> revilodraw: This is probably not the right place for this
[09:11] <andruk> mattycoze: i dont know, sorry
[09:11] <Filled-void> revilodraw disable IPv6? I think that might help however ou might want to confirm with someone
[09:11] <mattycoze> ok
[09:11] <DarkW0lf> dave_: try right clicking?
[09:11] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang, fyda, filled-void: thaks for ya'lls help
[09:11]  * DarkW0lf shrugs
[09:11] <bazhang> ubuntu wiki + www.google.com = 90% of questions here solved :}
[09:11] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Enjoy putting fire on your desktop :D
[09:11] <NeT_DeMoN> lmao
[09:11] <revilodraw> i think ipv6 is disabled, how do icheck
[09:11] <mattycoze> andruk actually i contacted Morpheus once, lol he was fairly helpful
[09:11] <bazhang> no worries
[09:12] <Filled-void> !ipv6
[09:12] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[09:12] <NeT_DeMoN> filled-void: what does that do anyways?
[09:12] <DarkW0lf> Filled-void: I like the rain one :P
[09:12] <mattycoze> Morpheus is the dude who made Moblock i mean
[09:12] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: i dunno, what is a local page lol? my modem interface page?
[09:12] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: it draws fire on your screen :P
[09:12] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, It puts fire on your desktop :D
[09:12] <mosno> DarkW0lf: evaporation effect is in the next release ;)
[09:12] <NeT_DeMoN> what does the rain and fire do
[09:12] <Filled-void> Darkion_, lol
[09:12] <NeT_DeMoN> oh
[09:12] <NeT_DeMoN> where
[09:12] <dave_> no w, i do have kubuntu-desktop,xubuntu-desktop,edubuntu-desktop,enabled in synaptic maybe some problem on one of the other os's is causing an all aroud problem with amarok
[09:12] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: lets you write with fire--be prepared to hard restart :}
[09:12] <NeT_DeMoN> i dont see any?
[09:12] <DarkW0lf> mosno: ooh sounds schnazzy
[09:13] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, pretty much nothing :D
[09:13] <Ahri> hi, i'm running a different distro but would like to test out the ubuntu kernel and modules, where's the best place to get these?
[09:13] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[09:13] <DarkW0lf> dave_: could be
[09:13] <NeT_DeMoN> wheres the fire and rain though
[09:13] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Go to a page, then do File -> save page as ( webpage complete ) then open the saved .html file
[09:13] <bazhang> !source
[09:13] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[09:13] <dave_> when i right click it says the normal things add to desktop add to panel, add menu
[09:13] <andruk> mattycoze: did he get you out of the matrix?  ;-)
[09:13] <NeT_DeMoN> i think i have them both enabled
[09:13] <DarkW0lf> I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy
[09:13] <NeT_DeMoN> but i dont see any of it
[09:13] <NeT_DeMoN> same here darkwolf
[09:13] <bazhang> keybindings NeT_DeMoN
[09:13] <Ahri> bazhang: was that a reply to me?
[09:13] <mattycoze> andurk lol haha
[09:14] <bazhang> Ahri: a failed reply :}
[09:14] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, Paint fire on screen i CCSM
[09:14] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang:key binding?
[09:14] <DarkW0lf> You'd think though that a program that runs on KDE would be compatible with Kubuntu which runs KDE...
[09:14] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: key combo = keybinding
[09:14] <tarelerulz> I don't want to sound dumb if you install some Linux to a usb thumb drive ?  I do you use that install to install  Linux to a hard drive in computer.  they are not made for use .  They are made to run on the computer . I mean does the normal  7.10 ubuntu when you install it have the install some where on it ?
[09:14] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ahhh
[09:14] <Ahri> bazhang: ah, i'm running gentoo, so i don't have apt ;) just want to manually snatch the kernel and modules
[09:14] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: by the way, the "Super" key is the windows key :P
[09:15] <bazhang> !info source
[09:15] <ubotu> Package source does not exist in gutsy
[09:15] <DarkW0lf> Ahri: Gentoo has emerge, no?
[09:15] <bazhang> ugh
[09:15] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: i noticed
[09:15] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: Just thought you'd might like to know :P
[09:15] <Ahri> DarkW0lf: er yes. it doesn't have access to the ubuntu source repos...
[09:15] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: what keybinding is it, its not on my list?
[09:15] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile Ahri
[09:16] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: thanks anyways
[09:16] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: on mine it's Shift-Super then mouse click
[09:16] <dave_> ok im over it, so should i just try rythembox or exaile/ and thanks for all your guy's help
[09:16] <DarkW0lf> then Shift-Super-C to clear
[09:16] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: now that you are a compiz master--best to ask the wise folks in #compiz-fusion
[09:17] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, thanks
[09:17] <bazhang> no problem
[09:17] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: holy crap!!!!
[09:17] <DarkW0lf> eh?
[09:17] <Ahri> bazhang: that's cool, but really i want the latest binary kernel shipped with ubuntu ;)
[09:17] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: What happened?
[09:17] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: this is awesome
[09:17] <DarkW0lf> ah
[09:17] <DarkW0lf> oh the joys of Pyromania
[09:17] <Filled-void> NeT_DeMoN, lol
[09:17] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: dude, i have fire :P
[09:17] <dave_> i think this may have something to do with amarok on my other versions of ubuntu that im running,-ubuntu-desktop,kubuntu-desktop etc.
[09:18] <DarkW0lf> without the second/third degree burns :P
[09:18] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: lmao
[09:18] <poeticrpm> whats going on with amarok?
[09:18] <DarkW0lf> have you got water enabled?
[09:18] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: yeah
[09:18] <bazhang> Ahri: packages.ubuntu.com is the place to search :}
[09:18] <DarkW0lf> try shift-F9 and Shift-F8
[09:18] <DarkW0lf> to turn them off hit them again
[09:18] <NeT_DeMoN> awesome
[09:19] <DarkW0lf> rain and wiper blades :P
[09:19] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: ok, thanks for telling me the combos :)
[09:19] <revilodraw> firefox takes 36seconds to start loading myspace.com... there is a problem here... and ipv6 is disabled
[09:19] <DarkW0lf> ew myspace
[09:19] <NeT_DeMoN> myspace??
[09:19] <DarkW0lf> myspace is bloated and flawed
[09:19] <bazhang> myspace problem most likely
[09:20] <NeT_DeMoN> myspace: a place for fags :)
[09:20] <poeticrpm> haha.. wow
[09:20] <bazhang> !ohmy | NeT_DeMoN
[09:20] <ubotu> NeT_DeMoN: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[09:20] <DarkW0lf> speaking of fags... time for a cigarette...
[09:20] <revilodraw> to all... lol who cares what website.. i mean firefox is sloooow for me
[09:20] <notgod> mmm, cigarette.
[09:20] <DarkW0lf> curse my addiction to these cancer sticks
[09:20] <NeT_DeMoN> im stealing my connection so my mozilla is naturally slow :P
[09:20] <poeticrpm> Darkw0lf.. i think ill join you, haha
[09:20] <notgod> mmm, cancer.
[09:20] <NeT_DeMoN> cigs sound good right now
[09:21] <notgod> agreed.
[09:21] <dave_> smokin mine right now
[09:21] <NeT_DeMoN> newports any one??
[09:21] <tarelerulz> I am not dumb and missing something. There is different from have Ubuntu install on the usb thumb drive and have some installer on the usb thumb drive.  So you can set the bios to boot from the usb thumb and use it to install Ubuntu to the hard drives in the computer  is there not ?
[09:21] <notgod> is linux-wlan-gn a package?
[09:21] <revilodraw> help me with my firefox slowness lol, not ur smoking addictrions
[09:21] <NeT_DeMoN> lmao
[09:21] <notgod> american spirits. :)
[09:21] <dave_> sure havent had a menthol in a long time
[09:21] <poeticrpm> is it only firefox?
[09:21] <DarkW0lf> and off we go like sheep... to get our nicotine fixation
[09:21] <dave_> check
[09:21] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[09:21] <NeT_DeMoN> indeed
[09:22] <revilodraw> poeticrpm; yes kazekase is blazing fast
[09:22] <DarkW0lf> screw going outside
[09:22] <notgod> revilodraw: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 yet?
[09:22]  * DarkW0lf lights up inside
[09:22] <dave_> lol
[09:22] <NeT_DeMoN> fire and water at the same time
[09:22] <revilodraw> notgod; ipv6 is off
[09:22] <NeT_DeMoN> awesome
[09:22] <chetnick> hey, i have unresolved problem with firefox and opera, try to open vayama.com and click on calendar (date) it should open the calendar on right side, it does not open for me on ubuntu, what is the problem any ideas?
[09:22] <NeT_DeMoN> it would be even more awesome if the water put the fire out :P
[09:22] <notgod> revilodraw: and your DNS servers are correct?
[09:23] <revilodraw> notgod; hmm i dont actually know what that is
[09:23] <dean5> msg NickServ IDENTIFY blue808
[09:23] <dave_> is running opendns worth the effort of setting up on ubuntu
[09:23] <notgod> revilodraw: who is your ISP?
[09:23] <bazhang> uhoh--time to change passwords dean5
[09:23] <poeticrpm> I would say to delete your profile and start one again
[09:23] <dave_> anyone
[09:23] <poeticrpm> you arent using fasterfox are you?
[09:24] <DarkW0lf> do it before someone beats you to it..
[09:24] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: how do i disable the water again, alt+shift+F8 or F9 right??
[09:24] <bazhang> dave_: try it and find out :}
[09:24] <DarkW0lf> ah...... sweet sweet tobacco :P
[09:24] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[09:24] <revilodraw> notgos; lol i was using my uni proxies... sorry
[09:24] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: nah just hit shift-F9 again
[09:24] <DarkW0lf> same with the wiper switch :P
[09:24] <Thornsberry> bazhang: I fixed it.
[09:24] <white_eagle> when I try to enable the water, my computer crashes
[09:24] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf:thanks
[09:25] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Turns out it was a problem with Firefox and not with Ubuntu.
[09:25] <DarkW0lf> white_eagle: what kind of gfx card do you have?
[09:25] <notgod> chetnick: hmm, seems to be a JS window, shoudl work (not on my ubuntu currently as I am working out network issues) -- might you have disabled JS?
[09:25] <white_eagle> DarkW0lf: ati radeon xpress 200m
[09:25] <bazhang> Thornsberry: oh good. you all sorted then?
[09:25] <NeT_DeMoN> i have a myspace problem, i hate it but yet i have one and always on it, can any one tell me why :P
[09:25] <revilodraw> yay firefox is fast again! thanks everyone
[09:25] <DarkW0lf> white_eagle: how does your compy crash?
[09:25] <dave_> does anyone think konqueror is better than firefox i havent really had a chance to try it out
[09:26] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: just say no
[09:26] <DarkW0lf> like... does it lock, or crash and burn?
[09:26] <chetnick> notgod: might you have disabled JS : how to check that?
[09:26] <tarelerulz> Is there a way to use a usb thumb drive as an installer like you would  a cd ?
[09:26] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: lmao
[09:26] <bazhang> haha
[09:26] <white_eagle> DarkW0lf: the water drops appear, but I cannot do anything except move the mouse cursor, and when I try to disable them, nothing happens
[09:26] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Yeah, the problem was that the default font that is set in Firefox wasn't something that had the Pashto script in it.  So I just changed the default font for Arabic to the Pashto font and now it works fine.
[09:26] <DarkW0lf> white_eagle: pressing shift-F9 does nothing?
[09:26] <bazhang> Thornsberry: excellent news :}
[09:27] <notgod> chetnick: you set up your machine? Or did someone set it up for you? unless you specifically disabled it, it shoudl be enabled.
[09:27] <chetnick> i set it up java scrpit should be enabled
[09:27] <Thornsberry> bazhang: Thanks for you help.  I don't think I would have solved the problem without it.
[09:27] <chetnick> i didnt disable
[09:27] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: are you on here all the time, i was in here the other dat and saw you, i think you tried to help me but my connection was reset
[09:27] <bazhang> Thornsberry: you did 90% of it :}
[09:28] <notgod> chetnick: just a stab in the dark, then. That's not the problem. sorry. :(
[09:28] <white_eagle> DarkW0lf: You miss understood me. When I press shift-F9 the drops APPEAR slowly, and my computer crashes, and I cannot disable them with the same command
[09:28] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: too much it seems :}
[09:28] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang:lol
[09:28] <chetnick> notgod:  :)
[09:28] <white_eagle> DarkW0lf: but I can move the mouse cursor
[09:28] <ogre> can some walk me through installing this cool conky script? I have my conkyrc open http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=0
[09:28] <u_angel> guys, i deleted a config file for a package. how do i reinstall the package and force it to put the config file back?
[09:28] <NeT_DeMoN> im getting addicted to this place, seems like home, more then yahoo ever did :P
[09:28] <notgod> white_eagle: does ctrl-alt-backspace restart your X session?
[09:28] <white_eagle> n
[09:29] <white_eagle> no
[09:29] <dave_> can anyone suggest some good greasemonkey user scripts to install
[09:29] <white_eagle> it simply crashes
[09:29] <white_eagle> nothing else
[09:29] <andruk> should i use envy to install proprietary drivers if the restricted-drivers-manager has failed?
[09:29] <notgod> dave_: for what purpose?
[09:29] <chetnick> ogre: still didnt install conky?
[09:29] <NeT_DeMoN> what does grease mokey do, i have it, just dont know what to do with it
[09:29] <riaal> My server has a hardwarefaliur and shuts down now and then, I have configured bios to make ut rebot automaticly, now I just need it to do a dhcp request when its running again, any sugestions?
[09:29] <bazhang> andruk: envy is not supported nor recommended
[09:30] <ogre> chetnick:  I got it up & running. just want to change it to look like that one
[09:30] <Xer0> gutsy ftw!
[09:30] <notgod> NeT_DeMoN: sounds like a worthy candidate for uninstall ;)
[09:30] <NeT_DeMoN> notgod: lol
[09:30] <andruk> bazhang: am i sol then, or what should i use?
[09:30] <dave_> well most of them that ive found seem to be minor im looking for some really good changes to google,lifehacker,or just any major site
[09:30] <DarkW0lf> Hey I've got a general linux question: How do you change the font in the terminal windows
[09:30] <NeT_DeMoN> i basically just download everything for my browsers
[09:30] <riaal> write a script that checks the interface and then run dhclient if its down? and put it in cron?
[09:30] <riaal> anyone?
[09:30] <white_eagle> I'll try the effects now, If I leave, that means i rebooted my computer
[09:30] <DarkW0lf> now Terminal, but the ctrl-alt-F1 terminal screens
[09:30] <u_angel> apt-get reinstall?
[09:31] <riaal> how to make my server run a dhcp request on boot?
[09:31] <notgod> NeT_DeMoN: seriously, though, if you don't need it, remove it. It's got a very specific and creepy purpose, imho.
[09:31] <chetnick> ogre copy this conf file http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704 and if you have black backgorund i sugest to change black to white in conf file
[09:31] <bazhang> andruk: some people report success with it--just letting you know that the ubuntu gods (and ops) frown on that
[09:31] <DarkW0lf> *Not Terminal
[09:31] <DarkW0lf> oh yes I also have a question reguarding DHCP
[09:31] <uasash> how to use Gfax i need man
[09:31] <riaal> does cron run a script with root privilage?
[09:31] <NeT_DeMoN> notgod: what is its purpose, i might want it, i just dont know what it does, if i need to learn how to use it, i'll google it :P
[09:32] <andruk> bazhang: okay, thanks.
[09:32] <DarkW0lf> every time I restart Ubuntu, even loging out, my IP address gets released. How do I set it up to do a DHCP request every time I restart?
[09:32] <bazhang> andruk: and dont mention automatix :}
[09:32] <dave_>  or any STYLISH user scripts for google
[09:32] <NeT_DeMoN> notgod: or ask bazhang, he seems to know everything about ubuntu
[09:32] <u_angel> is ther enayone that can help?
[09:32] <riaal> DarkW0lf: same question as me then..
[09:33] <Xer0> I'm experiencing my machine becoming rather sluggish...using Nvidia restricted drivers and I have a beefy machine - Due to running compiz/avant/conky together?
[09:33] <andruk> bazhang: lol, ive done that before...never again...  i heard that they were working towards compatibility?
[09:33] <NeT_DeMoN> you can change the font in the terminal?
[09:33] <ogre> chetnick:  I have it running already. I just want to change it to look like this conky http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=0 its more than just a txt file its several files and .sh scripts I just need to know how to set that 1 up
[09:33] <NeT_DeMoN> like different colors?
[09:33] <NeT_DeMoN> or just style?
[09:33] <riaal> I'm in a bit if a panic situatuon here, my server is even running on UPS power, I can't aford it not to be online, really need a quck fix for this
[09:33] <nabcore> How do I configure my ubuntu 7.10 machine to only come up in a non-graphical way? I know how to do this under RHEL, I set the /etc/inittab to runlevel 3
[09:33] <DarkW0lf> there is a way to change colours in Runlevel 3...
[09:33] <Wing> Xer0: Eye candy never helps performance.
[09:33] <bazhang> andruk: I heard that too--I'm agnostic on envy--just letting you know on the general reaction youll get if you mention here during daylight hours :}
[09:34] <andruk> lol
[09:34] <DarkW0lf> nabcore: Probably the same way
[09:34] <white_eagle> see, I had to restart my x session, like you said, no reboot was required
[09:34] <NeT_DeMoN> any one know the purpose for grease monkey though?
[09:34] <|_ocke> should i install adobe flash or gnash? opinions
[09:34] <white_eagle> although the pc stopped responding
[09:34] <dave_> for some reason i just love to tweak my computer,my os's,websites, but i spend so little time actually on the web its weird i just love tweaking stuff. I going to school for computer and electronics engineering
[09:34] <white_eagle> gnash
[09:34] <|_ocke> im concerned more with speed and compatibility than not having proprietary software
[09:34] <|_ocke> is gnash better technically?
[09:34] <white_eagle> At me It is faster
[09:35] <riaal> Does cron run as root?
[09:35] <ogre> chetnick:  any idea how to do it?
[09:35] <white_eagle> I don't know for the others
[09:35] <bazhang> |_ocke: faster but sometimes problematic
[09:35] <dave_> anyone been on firefox 3 yet or gran paridiso or whatever its called
[09:35] <andruk> bazhang: envy seems to be fairly nice...  any idea why the godz dont like it (besides supporting somebody else's software)?
[09:35] <Wing> |_ocke: gnash doesn't work half the damn time. Adobe flash works fine.
[09:35] <|_ocke> are there a lot of problems with it? or just a few?
[09:35] <revilodraw> my sister's dell inspiron 6400 running xp is waaayy louder than mine running ubuntu... and yes everything is on max
[09:35] <Wing> *Unless you're on 64bit. And then Adobe Flash becomes just as big a thorn as Gnash
[09:35] <bazhang> andruk: because then people here would have nothing to do?
[09:35] <|_ocke> this computer performs pretty darn well so i dont think slow is much of an issue
[09:36] <Xer0> Wing: Even with beefy video card/etc? I see no evidence in top/conky that x.org is eating resources
[09:36] <|_ocke> i ahve a 64 bit celeron 420 processor
[09:36] <|_ocke> i ahve 32 bit ubuntu installed though
[09:36] <|_ocke> could i install 64bit ubuntu on it?
[09:36] <bazhang> sure
[09:36] <andruk> bazhang: lol, ah, i see
[09:36] <DarkW0lf> |_ocke: having problems in firefox with flash?
[09:36] <NeT_DeMoN> seriously, any one know the purpose of grease mankey
[09:36] <NeT_DeMoN> monkey^^
[09:36] <Xer0> to be uninstalled?
[09:36] <Wing> Xer0: Try shutting them off and see what the difference is. That's the easiest place to start before you start hunting down more obscure issues.
[09:36] <|_ocke> DarkW0lf, no, i havent decided which to install yet
[09:36] <bazhang> andruk: that is not the official reason of course haha
[09:36] <|_ocke> this is a fresh 7.10 install on a computer i just bought earlier today
[09:36] <DarkW0lf> ok this is what I did: I firstly installed the plugins it told me: Flash_Nonfree and Gnash
[09:36] <blood_killer> I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. And I can't enable Visual Efects.. why?!
[09:37] <dave_> just to do minor changes to code, i dont think it s all that really
[09:37] <Xer0> kk, gracias wing
[09:37] <DarkW0lf> then I went and got the latest version from the adobe site
[09:37] <DarkW0lf> hang on a sec while I get the URL for it
[09:37] <|_ocke> i'm going to see how long I can have it running without restarting since the very first time it was booted
[09:37] <NeT_DeMoN> what happend to the "ubuntu" emblem that was on the cube from 7.04
[09:37] <NeT_DeMoN> i miss that
[09:37] <|_ocke> i'm on the first boot since install still now
[09:37] <andruk> bazhang: true, but official reasons are rarely the most compelling, imho...but just for kicks...what are the official reason, if you dont mind?
[09:37] <NeT_DeMoN> gave it more style
[09:37] <Wing> |_ocke: You *COULD* do 64bit, but if you feel the need to deal with any variety of proprietary software, 64bit is the biggest hassle in the entire world.
[09:37] <dave_> later and thanks everyone for your help
[09:38] <DarkW0lf> URL: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_getflashplayer
[09:38] <bazhang> blood_killer: try in appearance setting it to either basic or advanced/custom, then installing compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome
[09:38] <twiztr> My monitor runs at 1200X900 or something, and works fine, but when I try to set it to anything lower, or any program that changes the res, all I get is a garbled bunch of diagonal line things.
[09:38] <ogre> can anyone help me install this conky script? its more than just 1 txt file and its very confusing to someone new like me. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=0
[09:38] <Tyczek> hi... I still have issues with flash on mozilla
[09:38] <bazhang> !envy | andruk
[09:38] <ubotu> andruk: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[09:39] <DarkW0lf> |_ocke: then I grabbed the tarball, and ran it, installing it where firefox was and it seemed to work
[09:39] <NeT_DeMoN> any one know why the light on my laptop screen keeps going out and i have to turn it off for awhile to get it to stay on?
[09:39] <NeT_DeMoN> laptop monitor i should say
[09:39] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: explain
[09:39] <revilodraw> i have ipv6 disabled, but my firefox is so sloooow...
[09:39] <Wing> See, Restricted Manager would be nice... If it worked with custom kernels.
[09:39] <NeT_DeMoN> like i will have my computer will be in for awhile ans the monitors light will go out
[09:40] <NeT_DeMoN> and^^
[09:40] <NeT_DeMoN> like the moitor still works
[09:40] <DarkW0lf> |_ocke: from what I can tell the version of flash plugin is version 8 and the latest is version 9
[09:40] <NeT_DeMoN> just i cant see anything because the lights out
[09:40] <DarkW0lf> after I installed version 9 it ran well
[09:40] <Wing> Or even the server kernel.
[09:41] <Xer0> NeT_DeMoN, are you on a laptop?
[09:41] <revilodraw> any way to return firefox to default preferences in about:config
[09:41] <NeT_DeMoN> Xer0: yeah
[09:41] <NeT_DeMoN> the same one that does it
[09:41] <Xer0> NeT_DeMoN, when it goes out, can you re-raise it by using the function key?
[09:41] <NeT_DeMoN> its the only computer i got till i bhave my new one built
[09:41] <NeT_DeMoN> Xer0: no
[09:41] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: could it be a weird standby thing for the screen?
[09:42] <Xer0> it completley kills the backlight?
[09:42] <NeT_DeMoN> i was told it might be a virus thats effecting my fan and the light goes out because its hot
[09:42] <NeT_DeMoN> Xer0:yeah
[09:42] <Xer0> a virus in ubuntu? unlikely.
[09:42] <Tyczek> Download done.
[09:42] <Tyczek> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[09:42] <Tyczek> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[09:42] <NeT_DeMoN> i piss too many hackers off :P
[09:43] <bazhang> !flash | Tyczek
[09:43] <ubotu> Tyczek: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[09:43] <DarkW0lf> yeah do that :P
[09:43] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[09:43] <riaal> my server has a hardware failure and even thow its running on UPS power ut rebots now and then, I have configured bios to reboot it but it doesn't run any dhcp request
[09:43] <solitaire> is gnash actually usable now?
[09:43] <Tyczek> !restricted

[09:44] <Wing> NeT_DeMoN: Word of advice: Anyone saying there's a virus that affects your backlight - don't ever take technical advice from them again. And anyone that describes themselves as a hacker in any context even remotely similar to that, stab them in the eye.
[09:44] <DarkW0lf> solitaire: I think so
[09:44] <twiztr> So, no one has any idea then?
[09:44] <NeT_DeMoN> wing: lmao, ok
[09:44] <bazhang> sorry twiztr what was your question?
[09:44] <twiztr> My monitor runs at 1200X900 or something, and works fine, but when I try to set it to anything lower, or any program that changes the res, all I get is a garbled bunch of diagonal line things.
[09:44] <DarkW0lf> Wing: in my IT course next year I get to learn how to hack for security :P
[09:44]  * Xer0 hands Wing a beer
[09:44] <DarkW0lf> Ethical hacking and all that :P
[09:44] <NeT_DeMoN> .::ZoNe_VoRTeX::. killed my windoze
[09:44] <revilodraw> does anyone know why browsing is so slow on my laptop, when its so fast on my sister's, and we have the exact same laptop.. i run ubuntu, she runs xp
[09:45] <NeT_DeMoN> poor vista
[09:45] <bazhang> !resolution
[09:45] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:45] <NeT_DeMoN> never knew what was coming
[09:45] <twiztr> revilodraw: Usually it's the other way around. lol
[09:45] <NeT_DeMoN> :P
[09:45] <kuwabara> Hi, there. I'd like to sort the installed packages installed on my system, sorted by the size they take on the disk. Is there a way to get this ?
[09:45] <Wing> DarkW0lf: Don't tell me, you're one of those Penn State IST SRA majors.
[09:45] <amitprakash> revilodraw, maybe shes got faster fox installed
[09:45] <revilodraw> twiztr; i know, thats the point
[09:45] <bazhang> twiztr: see the link above from the bot
[09:45] <twiztr> bazhang: Thanks.
[09:45] <revilodraw> amitprakash; no she doesnt have fasterfox, but i do
[09:45] <DarkW0lf> revilodraw: maybe try a reinstall using synaptic?
[09:46] <revilodraw> darkwolf; a firefox reinstall
[09:46] <NeT_DeMoN> any of yall play halo?
[09:46] <amitprakash> o.O thats weird
[09:46] <Xer0> try #halo
[09:46] <NeT_DeMoN> theres a halo channel?
[09:46] <NeT_DeMoN> holy crap!
[09:46] <Xer0> sure.
[09:46]  * Xer0 shrugs
[09:46] <NeT_DeMoN> i got booted
[09:47] <Xer0> hm, they prob heard of you
[09:47] <NeT_DeMoN> like perm banned
[09:47] <NeT_DeMoN> i dont think i want to go in there
[09:47] <NeT_DeMoN> if it is real
[09:47] <DarkW0lf> revilodraw: yeah in Synaptic Package Manager seach for Firefox and right-click and select Mark for ReInstall
[09:47]  * DarkW0lf shrugs
[09:47] <DarkW0lf> revilodraw: just a suggestion
[09:47] <revilodraw> darkwolf; yeah worth a try
[09:48] <DarkW0lf> could be something conflicting with it
[09:48] <NeT_DeMoN> they might say "its the bastard who kills everybody and plays "barbie girl" over the radio" :P
[09:48] <Tyczek> allright it works now xD
[09:48] <DarkW0lf> if it doesn't fix it, then try Mark for Complete Removal and then go to Applications > Add & Remove Applications and install it again
[09:48] <Xer0> Anyone use Avant window navigator?
[09:48] <DarkW0lf> not that I know of :P
[09:48] <Xer0> gah
[09:48] <DarkW0lf> I guess I use Compiz Fusion...
[09:48] <Tyczek> is here who uses mplayer with flgrx?
[09:49] <amitprakash> how do i avoid auto deletion of packages downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives?
[09:49] <NeT_DeMoN> how do i ask the bot about something? specifically grease monkey
[09:49] <NeT_DeMoN> ??
[09:49] <amitprakash> NeT_DeMoN, that shudnt be ubuntu support now :S
[09:49] <bazhang> he likely does not know that one
[09:49] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[09:50] <NeT_DeMoN> damn
[09:50] <Jordan_U_> NeT_DeMoN, /msg ubotu <whatever> , most things won't work though, it's kind of an interactive FAQ, nothing more :)
[09:50] <bazhang> http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/install/greasemonkey.html
[09:50] <Jordan_U_> NeT_DeMoN, You can ask us though :)
[09:50] <NeT_DeMoN> ok, what is grease mankeys purpose
[09:50] <NeT_DeMoN> monkeys^^
[09:50] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: see the link above
[09:50] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[09:51] <NeT_DeMoN> my connection is slow
[09:51] <DarkW0lf> I think the coolest thing again the water effect in Compiz Fusion is when I turn off the wiper, it leaves a line where it was :P
[09:51] <DarkW0lf> then gets rained onagain
[09:51] <NeT_DeMoN> i need to get my own internet instead of stealing my neighbors
[09:51] <DarkW0lf> holy crap that's cool!
[09:52] <Jordan_U_> NeT_DeMoN, It lets you customize certain pages with javascript, like adding new buttons / themes to gmail
[09:52] <DarkW0lf> I made it rain then  rotated the cube with the mouse, the rain stays on the cube!
[09:52] <NeT_DeMoN> jordan_U_:ok, like maybe font colors to userplane chat rooms??
[09:52] <bazhang> please join #ubuntu-ohhtheshiny
[09:53] <DarkW0lf> and when I rotate it, the wiper blade can be seen on the other sides of the box in transperent mode going in the other direction... coolness!
[09:53] <NeT_DeMoN> i dont see the wiper blade
[09:53] <NeT_DeMoN> is there another thing i need to enable for that?
[09:53] <DarkW0lf> hit Shift F8 and you can see the effect of the blade
[09:53] <Jordan_U_> NeT_DeMoN, It's not visable by default
[09:53] <revilodraw> why is my faster laptop slower when browsing the internet than my sister's laptop? she uses xp... i have ipv6 disabled,
[09:53] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[09:53] <DarkW0lf> Jordan_U: is there a way to make the blade visible?
[09:53] <Jordan_U_> revilodraw, Have you tried a saved page yet?
[09:54] <NeT_DeMoN> how can you make it visable?
[09:54] <Zenerek> any of you guys try to run the linux version of mugen? I can't seem to get it to detect game pads, one is an xbox 360 pad that i had to compile a driver for,the other is a psx2 pad with a radioshack usb adapter
[09:54] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: umm no.. so save a page and see if it loads quickly?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Yes
[09:55] <NeT_DeMoN> jordan_U: how do you make the wiper visable??
[09:55] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: ok when i do that its fast
[09:55] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Don't know, I assume you have checked through ccsm already?
[09:56] <NeT_DeMoN> what does the cube gears do?
[09:56] <NeT_DeMoN> i have it enabled
[09:56] <NeT_DeMoN> dont see any gears
[09:56] <Wing> you need cube transparency on
[09:57] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, As a test ( this has worked for myself and 3 others so far, no idea why it works / why there is a problem in the first page ) try using openDNS ( http://opendns.org )
[09:57] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, * first place
[09:57] <DarkW0lf> there's no way to make the blade visible I think
[09:57] <DarkW0lf> you just see the wiper effect, not the blade
[09:58] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: ok is it self-explanatory
[09:58] <NeT_DeMoN> wing: wheres that at, i dont see it
[09:58] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, No, but there are instructions on that sire
[09:58] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, * site :)
[09:58] <DarkW0lf> but cause I saw the wipers through the transparent cube they were going in opposite directions
[09:58] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: ok thanks
[09:59] <DarkW0lf> revilodraw: fixed your problem?
[09:59] <NeT_DeMoN> goodness gracious great balls of fire!!!!!
[09:59] <NeT_DeMoN> :P
[09:59] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: Linux Nub :P
[09:59] <Zenerek> ok next question, anyone here try installing gutsy or feisty on a power pc mac? can't get it to work
[09:59] <revilodraw> DarkW0lf: not yet
[09:59] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[09:59] <hobojohn3> any ideas on how to get a wd my book to be recognized as a drive?
[09:59] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: sad thing is i am
[09:59] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Please tell me if that works, it's one of my "fixes that make no sense for bugs that by all logic can't exist" :)
[10:00] <NeT_DeMoN> just got it last month
[10:00] <NeT_DeMoN> IRCs are new to me too
[10:00] <NeT_DeMoN> im pleased though
[10:00] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, The other has to do with an imac that I inherited from a company throwing it out, it had a label on it "enigmac" :)
[10:00] <DarkW0lf> I've been IRC'n since ought-one... :P
[10:01] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[10:02] <NeT_DeMoN> how do i make the desktop transparent so i can see the gears?
[10:02] <Zenerek> I started using irc only after i started using ubuntu...though mostly i learn to fixmy own probs
[10:02] <cherva> if I have an output "/home/cherva/Desktop/file.cpp" can I grep the filename only ?
[10:02] <NeT_DeMoN> holy crap, i dont like the opacify
[10:03] <NeT_DeMoN> im a multi-tasker :P
[10:03] <Jordan_U> cherva, Yes, but you would use 'sed' rather than grep
[10:03] <|_ocke> i've been on irc since 1997
[10:03] <Wing> I have a really nice compiz setup with all kinds of fancy effects and crap - across my 8 displays.
[10:03] <|_ocke> actually, since 95 or 96 i believe
[10:03] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN_Noob: click on Desktop cube and go to the Transparent Cube tab
[10:03] <DarkW0lf> :P
[10:03] <Wing> The problem, though, is I never get to see it because I always have it buried in windows
[10:03] <|_ocke> 96 at the altest because zophars domain wasnt online yet and that went online nov 96
[10:04] <NeT_DeMoN> oh hell
[10:04] <NeT_DeMoN> didnt see it there
[10:04] <DarkW0lf> in the Compiz Config Settings
[10:04] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[10:04] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks darkw0lf
[10:04] <hobojohn3> any ideas on how to get a wd my book to be recognized as a drive?
[10:04]  * DarkW0lf shoves a Dunce Cap on NeT_DeMoN 
[10:04] <andruk> anybody know how i can kill my gui so i can install the proprietary nvidia driver (yes, i know its not supported and i should be using restricted-drivers-manager, the restricted-drivers-manager didnt work)
[10:04] <hobojohn3> it worked once for me now its not recognizing it
[10:04] <Jordan_U> hobojohn3, wd?
[10:04] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[10:04] <Zenerek> i thought about irc before or something like it, at the time i was still using windiws and i read there weresecurity concerns so....
[10:04] <hobojohn3> western digital
[10:05] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: need more sleep or something? :P
[10:05] <hobojohn3> what is the hardware channel?
[10:05] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: naw, im good
[10:05] <NeT_DeMoN> :P
[10:05] <Jordan_U> andruk, ctrl+alt+F1 then "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" same command but with 'start' when you are done
[10:06] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks though
[10:06] <NeT_DeMoN> i can see my gears :D
[10:06] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[10:06] <DarkW0lf> I remember trying to init 3 and bloody GDM started all the damn time
[10:07] <andruk> Jordan_U: thanks
[10:07] <NeT_DeMoN> does the fire ever go out??
[10:07] <Jordan_U> andruk, np
[10:07] <DarkW0lf> I love the fact that in Linux pretty much any hardware can somehow work
[10:08] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, You can put it out with a shortcut
[10:08] <NeT_DeMoN> i know
[10:08] <DarkW0lf> in Windows you have to search for drivers that may or may-not work
[10:08] <DarkW0lf> "Windows cannot find the drivers neccecary to run this device" "What? But... I got the damn CD!!!"
[10:08] <NeT_DeMoN> i just want to know if it will stay on all night so when my flatmate wakes up he sees it and freaked out :P
[10:09] <NeT_DeMoN> freakes^^
[10:09] <NeT_DeMoN> freaks^^
[10:09] <DarkW0lf> I think it does sort of go out
[10:09] <cherva> DarkW0lf: pls give me an example
[10:09] <NeT_DeMoN> wow i need to learn my grammar again :P
[10:09] <paradoxfox93> one way or another...linux just worx!
[10:10] <DarkW0lf> here's a cooler one NeT_DeMoN: go to the Extras bit and find Annote
[10:10] <paradoxfox93> no more blue screen of death!
[10:10] <paradoxfox93> :P
[10:10] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Does he know much about linux? There are some great pranks you can play on those that don't :)
[10:10] <paradoxfox93> soz I'm on a trip as I'm a noob :P
[10:10] <DarkW0lf> once you've enabled it hold alt>super> Left mouse button
[10:10] <DarkW0lf> and write a message for your flatmate on the screen :P
[10:11] <NeT_DeMoN> jordan_U: no he doesnt ;)
[10:11] <NeT_DeMoN> i want to learn
[10:11] <DarkW0lf> clear the screen with alt>super+K
[10:11] <bazhang> something scary
[10:11] <bazhang> like redrum
[10:11] <paradoxfox93> none of those do anything
[10:11] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[10:11] <DarkW0lf> with a backwards r
[10:11] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Like sshing in and having the computer talk to your victim, or for something more automated but harder to setup you can have it do something when it detects his ( or any ) bluetooth phone :)
[10:11] <hobojohn3> what is button 1?
[10:11] <paradoxfox93> but then i havent gotten super to work thor sysrq
[10:11] <paradoxfox93> or anything but printscreeen
[10:11] <Stwange> I want some nice christmassy snow on my desktop (gnome), but I don't want to lose the background. Can anyone help me make my house more festive? :)
[10:12] <hobojohn3> windows key=super
[10:12] <NeT_DeMoN> like my blue tooth phone?
[10:12] <paradoxfox93> ik
[10:12] <mosno> Stwange: there used to be some crappy snow package in the Debian repo
[10:12] <Jay-Oh-En> how do you install frets on fire?
[10:12] <mosno> Stwange: xsnow or something
[10:12] <NeT_DeMoN> like how do you do the bluetooth thing
[10:12] <bazhang> Stwange: gnome-look.org has some nice stuff
[10:12] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, If your bluetooth phone fits the description of "any bluetooth phone", then yes :)
[10:12] <Stwange> mosno, "used to be" and "crappy" aren't my favourite words :)
[10:13] <NeT_DeMoN> that seems interestig
[10:13] <NeT_DeMoN> lol, ok
[10:13] <mmkay> would an intel core 2 duo be considered a 64 bit processor? (I don't know which iso to get)
[10:13] <NeT_DeMoN> im stupid right now, not enough fags tonight
[10:13] <NeT_DeMoN> :P
[10:13] <Zenerek> ok, question 3, hopefully some help on this one, when i play a dvd playback is choppy....how might i fix or tune this, could be because my pc is using the cache too much?
[10:13] <poeticrpm> mmkay.. yes
[10:13] <Jordan_U> mmkay, Yes, but you should probably stick with 32 bit
[10:13] <Gary> mmkay, yes, but a i386 iso will also work fine
[10:13] <paradoxfox93> my movie player is jacked up too
[10:13] <mmkay> why is that?
[10:13] <poeticrpm> im running 64bit buntu on a core2duo
[10:14] <DarkW0lf> Zenerek: what program are you running?
[10:14] <poeticrpm> no.. thats a thing of the past
[10:14] <poeticrpm> 64bit runs awesome now
[10:14] <bazhang> Zenerek: which video card?
[10:14] <freepenguin> hello everybody
[10:14] <NeT_DeMoN> is there a thing like limewire for linux??
[10:14] <Stwange> mosno, xsnow is great :)
[10:14] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: BitTorrent
[10:14] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, there is gtk-gnutella, and... limewire :)
[10:14] <DarkW0lf> don't freaking use LimeWire
[10:14] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: thanks
[10:14] <paradoxfox93> sit plays fine but when I try to drag to a specific spot of forward (with commands or the right key) or any type of time select funtion it jacks around
[10:14] <paradoxfox93> mostly restarting
[10:14] <hobojohn3> any ideas on how to get a western digital my book to be recognized as a drive?
[10:14] <NeT_DeMoN> limewire is linux compatible??
[10:14] <NeT_DeMoN> :|
[10:15] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, But limewire is horrible, gtk-gnutella uses the same network
[10:15] <DarkW0lf> hobojohn3: what do you mean?
[10:15] <poeticrpm> NeT_DeMoN: Frostwire
[10:15] <paradoxfox93> Frostwire is freeware and is better than limewire
[10:15] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, It's java based, I think it may even be open source
[10:15] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks guys
[10:15] <DarkW0lf> the harddrive in the cumputer you want to make work?
[10:15] <DarkW0lf> or as in, on another computer?
[10:15] <NeT_DeMoN> can some one hook me up with a link?
[10:15] <hobojohn3> i have a bunch of music i would like to listen to on my wd my book and it used to appear as an icon on my desktop but now its gone
[10:15] <poeticrpm> uses java though.. stick to gtk-gnutella if you can
[10:15] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, But it's still crap, use frostwire or gtk-gnutella
[10:15] <paradoxfox93> www.frostwire.com
[10:16] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[10:16] <hobojohn3> its an external harddrive
[10:16] <DarkW0lf> ah
[10:16] <DarkW0lf> what format?
[10:16] <NeT_DeMoN> paradoxfox93: thanks
[10:16] <hobojohn3> i cant remember
[10:16] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, If you don't know already you can find programs in Applications -> Add / Remove
[10:16] <NeT_DeMoN> i know
[10:16] <NeT_DeMoN> is it on there??
[10:16] <paradoxfox93> I'm a javaddic
[10:16] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Make sure you have it set to show all availale apps
[10:16] <paradoxfox93> t
[10:16] <poeticrpm> mmkay: 64bit is just as easy and as stable as 32bit- youre only tough part will be java in firefox.
[10:16] <DarkW0lf> if it's Ubuntu it should automount it...
[10:16] <paradoxfox93> javaddict
[10:16] <hobojohn3> it is ubuntu
[10:17] <NeT_DeMoN> ok'
[10:17] <hobojohn3> but its not there anymore
[10:17] <hobojohn3> its not showing up anywhere
[10:17] <paradoxfox93> I hate it but something I use always runs on java
[10:17] <Zenerek> Vlc and a nvidia 5200, i have the nvidia drivers installed
[10:17] <paradoxfox93> lol
[10:17] <DarkW0lf> ok is it showing up in the computer window?
[10:17] <poeticrpm> youll notice a good speed increase in coding stuff, and everything else is close to the same
[10:17] <hobojohn3> nope
[10:17] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Yes, it's there
[10:17] <DarkW0lf> Places > Computer
[10:17] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks
[10:17] <DarkW0lf> hmmm
[10:17] <Zero_> hmm

[10:18] <DarkW0lf> did you turn it on? :P
[10:18] <hobojohn3> no
[10:18] <DarkW0lf> maybe it's a loose power cable or a loose ribbon cable

[10:19] <paradoxfox93> whoa..gtk gnutella seems rock...
[10:19] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: most would say yes
[10:19] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[10:19] <paradoxfox93> Mplayer - it plays fine but when I try to drag to a specific spot of forward (with commands or the right key) or any type of time select funtion it jacks around
[10:19] <void86> hi

[10:19] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: mine seems to run ok..
[10:20] <RoDoX> #ubuntu-br
[10:20] <hobojohn3> darkwolf it has an error
[10:20] <NeT_DeMoN> i have bittorrent already but where is it located?
[10:20] <Zero_> HMMM
[10:20] <dn4> Is there a device which can copy and paste pdf txt?
[10:21] <hobojohn3> error detils mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[10:21] <wols_> aa device?
[10:21] <paradoxfox93> a program
[10:21] <paradoxfox93> i wondered that myself
[10:21] <paradoxfox93> c/p out of a pdf
[10:21] <wols_> dn4: there are things like pdf2ascii or pfd2html
[10:21] <Herbo> ??
[10:21] <wols_> and any pdf viewer can copy+paste
[10:22] <dn4> neat
[10:22] <NeT_DeMoN> where is bit torrent located because i just figured out i had it and i dont see it on the applications tab???
[10:23] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: which torrent package did you install
[10:23] <Herbo> Hello folks, how do I add a permenant nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf ? however, I'm on desparte to add 'em but unforunately I'm using DHCP client that updates /etc/resolv.conf everytime your restart ur networking services.
[10:23] <NeT_DeMoN> it was in add/remove programs
[10:23] <wols_> Herbo: man interfaces, or chattr +i the resolv.conf file, or configure your dhcp client correctly
[10:24] <NeT_DeMoN> what i was doing was downloading everything one day :P
[10:24] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: there is a NAME for it. what is it?
[10:24] <Zenerek> NeT_DeMoN open terminal and type whereis PROGRAM_NAME
[10:24] <NeT_DeMoN> bit torrent i think
[10:24] <dn4> wols_, what is the package name?
[10:24] <NeT_DeMoN> im downloading more stuff right now so i really cant check
[10:24] <wols_> Zenerek: he is trying to find the PROGRAM_NAME
[10:24] <hobojohn3> how do i get a drive to mount
[10:25] <wols_> dn4: why would I know or care. aren't you able to search?
[10:25] <wols_> hobojohn3: with the program "mount"
[10:25] <paradoxfox93> SO IT CAN! Adobe used to not let me do that..forgive..I'm still a little new to the wonderful world of linux :P
[10:25] <NeT_DeMoN> nothing there
[10:25] <hobojohn3> wols_ it gives me an error
[10:25] <ghatak> Hi, I have an external serial modem that i use to connect with windows. Now i have switched to gusty, the same modem does not work properly under gusty. The modem does not require any specific drivers and is connected to serial port of my pc. Are there any specific settings that I can change or tweak to make it work ?
[10:25] <wols_> hobojohn3: do you think I'm psychic?
[10:25] <hobojohn3> error detils mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[10:25] <hobojohn3> sry
[10:26] <wols_> ghatak: not until you qualify your "does not work"
[10:26] <wols_> hobojohn3: what type of filesystem is it and what is your exact mount commandline?
[10:27] <NeT_DeMoN> it is bit torrent right??
[10:27] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: you said you installed a bittorrent client. that client's package has a name. what name?
[10:27] <NeT_DeMoN> the file downloading program?
[10:27] <hobojohn3> idk but it has worked on this comp before and i right click it and click mount
[10:27] <wols_> hobojohn3: pastbein your fstab
[10:27] <hobojohn3> huh?
[10:27] <NeT_DeMoN> im not sure, how would i check??
[10:27] <wols_> !paste | hobojohn3
[10:27] <ubotu> hobojohn3: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:28] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: by reasind what synaptic tells you
[10:28] <hobojohn3> fstab?
[10:28] <Zenerek> hobojohn3 the keyring daemon(i think) is supposed to handle your devices so that when you put em in they get auto mounted to the media folder in root, your gonna have to make a folder somewhere and mount it mnaually
[10:29] <NeT_DeMoN> im downloading stuff right now so i cant check
[10:29] <hobojohn3> zenerek how do i do that?
[10:29] <ghatak> wols_: well it works fine under windows, and it does connect sometimes under gusty too. but then it behave strangely (only under gusty). i am just wondering if here are any modem init strings that I can use or tune as I can do in windows, dont know how to do that in Ubuntu:(
[10:29] <NeT_DeMoN> it was under the add/remove programs tab under applications though
[10:29] <wols_> Zenerek: huh? keyring? what have passwords and certs to do with mounting?
[10:29] <NeT_DeMoN> the only one that i saw
[10:29] <wols_> ghatak: strangely HOW?
[10:29] <NeT_DeMoN> my screen just blacked out
[10:29] <NeT_DeMoN> later guys
[10:29] <wols_> ghatak: you can use the same strings as on windows since it's the same device...
[10:30] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks for the help
[10:30] <DarkW0lf> ok time to test my changes to the DHCP settings...
[10:30] <DarkW0lf> wish me luck
[10:30] <Zenerek> wols_ that is why i said i think
[10:30] <hobojohn3> how do i mount a drive manually
[10:30] <wols_> Zenerek: most like the thing it uses is gnome volume manager
[10:30] <dave_> help i cant run firefox-i get a alert that says could not initialize the browser's security component the most likely cause is problems with files in your browsers profile directory , please check that this directory has no read/write restictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. PLEASE ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
[10:30] <ghatak> wols_: the modem intiates, and then does not detect tone and hangs up, this only happens in gusty, never in windows.
[10:31] <wols_> hobojohn3: as I told you: with mount. I am still watiing for the contents of your fstab file
[10:31] <hobojohn3> what is fstab?
[10:31] <hobojohn3> and how do i do it
[10:31] <wols_> ghatak: there are settings for hayes modems not to wait for the dialtone
[10:31] <wols_> hobojohn3: /etc/fstab
[10:31] <hobojohn3> oh
[10:32] <Zenerek>  hobojohn3: what i do know is that they are supposed to be mounted to media, fstab is a file in /etc that tells ubuntu what devies to mount and where
[10:32] <wols_> ghatak: the same AT commands as in windows will work in gutsy
[10:32] <dave_> help i cant run firefox-i get a alert that says could not initialize the browser's security component the most likely cause is problems with files in your browsers profile directory , please check that this directory has no read/write restictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. PLEASE ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
[10:32] <hobojohn3> here you go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48522/
[10:32] <ghatak> wols_: right, where do i change those? i can't see any thing in network connection settings for that
[10:32] <twiztr> Hey everyone... Thanks for the help, it worked. Now my other problem...
[10:32] <twiztr> How do I set my WinXP drive to mount automatically when I log on, so I don't have to click on the icon, and type in my password before I run any app that is on it?
[10:33] <wols_> twiztr: /etc/fstab usually
[10:33] <Zenerek>  hobojohn3: open a terminal and type man mount  you will get a man file on how to use the mount command
[10:33] <dave_> WHERE DO I CHECK MY DIRECTORY FOR READ/WRITE RESTRICTIONS AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?
[10:33] <wols_> ghatak: check if /etc/ppp/ has anything
[10:33] <ivan> now that you've asked in all caps i must help you
[10:33]  * wols_ ignores dave_ for shouting
[10:33] <dave_> sorry
[10:33] <dave_> thank you ivan
[10:33] <wols_> too late
[10:34] <wols_> ivan: please don'
[10:34] <wols_> t
[10:34] <twiztr> I thought fstab was only to like, tell the computer where to mount it to, and what file system it has, when you mount it. Does it actually mount it when you log on too?
[10:34] <ivan> #humor-impaired
[10:34] <utente> hi what is the option i shlould put instead of "?" in "cat 1.avi|mplayer -?"
[10:34] <ghatak> wols_: right, i will have a look, i will have to reboot because i am in windows, however my understanding is that ppp would be active after the modem has negotiated (layer1) connection with the other side
[10:34] <wols_> twiztr: it mounts when you start
[10:35] <wols_> ghatak: for modems, ppp dials too
[10:35] <ghatak> wols_: fair enough, i will dig for it
[10:35] <wols_> ghatak: as a workaround, install the driver from fs-driver.org and access the directory from windows
[10:35] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: hi, i am back my router was playing up... was that site, www.opendns.org?
[10:35] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Yes
[10:36] <Herbo> wols_, chattr +i doesn't work wtih dhclient eth0
[10:37] <darkblue_B> hello - I just installed GraphViz with the package mgr, but where is it?
[10:37] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: for a bit of trivia, that page took 27seconds to load.. i am on 1.5mbps internet (australia)
[10:37] <dave_> i was in the middle of restarting firefox with a bunch of add ons that i needed because i just started using ubuntu and firefox had no extentions then i went to reset and it said the alert
[10:37] <ghatak> wols_: yea, thanks for that, however i found that if you access ext3 with that, then there are occaianal super block errors on fsck
[10:37] <hobojohn3> that man page didnt help much wols_
[10:37] <hobojohn3> im too noob
[10:37] <darkblue_B> I looked in usr/bin
[10:37] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Sounds like the problem I have
[10:38] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, ( which using openDNS fixes )
[10:38] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: ok.. when i download a file i get really good speeds.. eg 160kbps
[10:38] <earlmred> heh sweet
[10:38] <kyle_> anyone know of a way to configure my network and have it work through cases where eth0 and eth1 get swapped?
[10:38] <hobojohn3> !fsck
[10:38] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[10:38] <earlmred> got gmailfs setup with encfs
[10:38] <darkblue_B> search for graphviz returns nothing... (desktop search).
[10:38] <darkblue_B> !graphviz
[10:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphviz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:39] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Yeh, it's just a domain name resolution problem, if you go to sites by ip they should load immediately
[10:39] <dave_> any advice anyone
[10:39] <earlmred> now i just need to setup backups to gmail and i'm good to go heh
[10:39] <kyle_> earlmred: "microsoft just opensourced the bsd monopoly" comes to mind ;)
[10:39] <earlmred> kyle_, ?
[10:39] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: ok what is google's ip?
[10:40] <dave_> darkwolf can you help me
[10:40] <wols_> hobojohn3: I asked you several things, answer them
[10:40] <schneutzi> hallo ihr lieben
[10:40] <schneutzi> ich grüße alle die da sind
[10:40] <wols_> kyle_: use dhcp

[10:41] <kyle_> earlmred: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/01/31
[10:41] <void^> darkblue_B: dpkg -L graphviz, and note how the package description mentions it's a collection of command line tools.
[10:41] <earlmred> kyle_, of course, the question is, how to mount encfs on a free install, not sure i know how to do that
[10:41] <netdemon> are there quick keys for stand-by??
[10:41] <earlmred> kyle_, hehe, sorry, can't remember ALL the penny arcades :)
[10:41] <hobojohn3> wols_ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48522/ i dont know the filesystem type and to mount i right clicked it and clicked mount but that didnt do anything other than give me that error
[10:41] <kyle_> wols_: it runs dhcpd
[10:41] <dave_> ivan?
[10:42] <wols_> hobojohn3: sudo fdisk -l
[10:42] <schneutzi> thangs a lot i running ubuntu for the first time on my meschine
[10:42] <darkw0lf> hmmm I think I might have a conflicting dhcp or something perhaps
[10:42] <kyle_> earlmred: I remember lots of oddities :)
[10:42] <jussi01> Is anyone familiar with scribus? how do I make borders around an item?
[10:42] <netdemon> holy crap, im still in here
[10:42] <netdemon> lol
[10:42] <wols_> kyle_: tell your dhcpd to assign by MAC address
[10:42] <kyle_> wait wait wait
[10:43] <kyle_> I can hand out a dhcp address to myself?
[10:43] <wols_> you just said you run a dhcpd so you do hand out IPs, no?
[10:43] <hobojohn3> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48523/
[10:43] <Pat__> Hello , i tired finding info on my own but could not! Is there an (easy) way to run ubuntu on a machine without a graphics card? I can put in a card during the installation and remove it later, but I did not find a howto about what should be done ...
[10:43] <darkblue_B> void^: aha  silly me, I thought there would be a demo app of some kind. thank you though
[10:43] <Pat__> Can anyone help ?
[10:43] <kyle_> i said IT runs dhcp actually
[10:43] <kyle_> *dhcpd
[10:43] <wols_> hobojohn3: there is no sdb on the system....
[10:44] <hobojohn3> wols_ huh?
[10:44] <wols_> Pat__: yes. just do it. will work find. Xserver is kinda problematic but doable
[10:44] <NeT_DeMoN_> are there quick keys for stand-by mode?
[10:44] <wols_> hobojohn3: there is no sdb1 partition as the fdisk output clearly shows
[10:44] <wols_> s/find/fine
[10:45] <hobojohn3> wols_ and that means?
[10:45] <Pat__> wols_ so I install ubuntu server make sure ssh is started and runnign then remove the graphics card and reboot ?
[10:45] <wols_> that means there is no sdb on your system and hance no sdb1 to mount
[10:45] <wols_> Pat__: pretty much, yes
[10:45] <RenUbu> morning, can anyone help me with smb share

[10:46] <hobojohn3> zenerek wd mybook 250 or 350 gig external usb
[10:47] <hobojohn3> i cant remember how big
[10:48] <wols_> hobojohn3: disconnect it
[10:48] <wols_> the reconnect and check your dmesg output
[10:48] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: it seems to have worked
[10:48] <hobojohn3> dmesg?
[10:48] <Zenerek> hobojohn3 strange, if the externel should be a sd device ,wols_ did you have him rub dmesg and grep for hd or sd?
[10:49] <paradoxfox93> why doesnt my sysreq btton work?
[10:49] <paradoxfox93> I'm on a laptop and I have to hit super+del for sysreq
[10:50] <paradoxfox93> I get printscreen functino
[10:50] <Zenerek>  hobojohn3 hey does it have a power button? did you power it on?
[10:50] <hobojohn3> yes i did
[10:50] <hobojohn3> and its all plugged in
[10:50] <paradoxfox93> which is what i get when I press super+ins which is what it is suppose to do
[10:50] <hobojohn3> i think i spoke with someone a while back aobut them spinning down when they used them in linux
[10:50] <hobojohn3> and that seems to be what mine does
[10:51] <wols_> Zenerek: it's what I just did
[10:51] <hobojohn3> it turns on and then it goes into what the standby mode looked like when i plugged itinto windows and it stops making sound
[10:53] <Zenerek>  hobojohn3 well do what wols_: said about unpluging it then run dmesg | grep sd   in a terminal, ass if it shows
[10:53] <hobojohn3> i unplugged it then replugged it then do what now
[10:53] <hobojohn3> sry im very nood
[10:53] <hobojohn3> noob
[10:53] <hobojohn3> i cant even spell it properly

[10:56] <Hattori> if i use "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp" it works, i can access the windows shared dir from  /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp dir.. how to set it auto mount on boot? i put in fstab file but seems i'm doing something wrong, since dirs are empty.

[10:57] <Zenerek> hold on reading
[10:57] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: yes
[10:57] <NeT_DeMoN> wols_whats the command?
[10:58] <Hattori> in fstab i wrote: "//192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp smbfs username=xxx,password=yyy 0 0". what's wrong?
[10:59] <NeT_DeMoN> im basically a linux noob
[10:59] <NeT_DeMoN> just got it last month
[10:59] <wols_> Hattori: "mount /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp"
[10:59] <VuurDraak> those are the best Net_demon
[11:00] <NeT_DeMoN> whats the best?
[11:00] <Hattori> wols_: i mean in fstab file..
[11:00] <wols_> Hattori: you missed the auto and the other stuff that makes up "defaults"
[11:00] <VuurDraak> noobs <3
[11:00] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[11:00] <VuurDraak> I love them
[11:00] <Hattori> wols_: so the line should be?
[11:00] <VuurDraak> im a noob to
[11:00] <jussi01> !noob | vuuu

[11:00] <wols_> VuurDraak: cause they're so crispy when flamed and go great with ketchup?
[11:00] <NeT_DeMoN> IM NOT ALONE!!!!! YAY
[11:00] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[11:00] <VuurDraak> :P
[11:01] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, rtorrent is a great CLI bittorrent client BTW
[11:01] <NeT_DeMoN> i just learned the flames and rain stuff
[11:01] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, did you get the help you needed ion your question?
[11:01] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks jordan_U
[11:01] <NeT_DeMoN> which question kbrooks
[11:02] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, terminal question
[11:02] <NeT_DeMoN> nope
[11:02] <hobojohn3> zenerek r u still here?
[11:02] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, you asked if you could start a program in terminal... yes you can
[11:02] <NeT_DeMoN> is bazhang still alive?
[11:02] <alka> internet cam not working
[11:03] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: opendns seems to have fixed the proble,
[11:03] <NeT_DeMoN> kbrooks: whats the command i would use?
[11:03] <alka> ok
[11:03] <wols_> NeT_DeMoN: we really hope so
[11:03] <Hattori> wols_: auto and noauto With the auto option, the device will be mounted automatically (at bootup, just like I told you a bit earlier, or when you issue the mount -a command). auto is the default option
[11:03] <ergun> find
[11:03] <NeT_DeMoN> wols_: lol
[11:03] <Hattori> wols_: so seems auto is not necessary
[11:03] <alka> hi demon
[11:03] <NeT_DeMoN> hello
[11:03] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, well you can use the terminal apps > accessories > terminal
[11:03] <wols_> Hattori: if you say so, then I can't argue
[11:03] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, You are the 4th in a prestigious group, you should be honored ;)
[11:04] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Fifth rather
[11:04] <NeT_DeMoN> huh
[11:04] <Hattori> not me
[11:04] <Hattori> !fstab
[11:04] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:04] <Hattori> it syas so
[11:04] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: hmm but i dont really like the idea of my internet going through an open server
[11:04] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, and then you type the name of a command, something like
[11:04] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, ls
[11:04] <Zenerek> hobojohn3 looks like there some sector errors on sdb ,wols_: have you seen his pastebin?
[11:04] <NeT_DeMoN> im confused
[11:04] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, It doesn't, a DNS server just resolves "whatever.com" to an IP
[11:05] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, i'm helping you
[11:05] <NeT_DeMoN> i know
[11:05] <dmgubuntu> Hi, I ran the Gutsy livecd and I got a wireless connection. I installed and there is no sign of wireless on the machine. Is that what happens when wireless doesn't work?
[11:05] <NeT_DeMoN> im just a noob and barely know anything about it
[11:05] <ninjagambit> i just had a brain storm but not sure if it will work
[11:05] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, about the terminal, you mean?
[11:05] <NeT_DeMoN> about anything
[11:05] <sinner51> Hi there everyone
[11:05] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: hmm ok..well i guess i can always change it back later... thanks heaps for your help
[11:05] <VuurDraak> o/
[11:05] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, look at the top of your screen
[11:05] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, np
[11:06] <Hattori> in fstab i wrote: "//192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp smbfs username=xxx,password=yyy 0 0", and on boot /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp is empty. if i write sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp" it works, i can access the windows shared dir from  /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp dir. what's wrong with fstab file?
[11:06] <ninjagambit> i have had problems with flash sence changing to kubuntu 64
[11:06] <sinner51> I have a strange problem on my Dell Inspiron. My dvd drive keep ejecting automatically every so often. Any ideas?
[11:06] <sinner51> I am running 7.10
[11:06] <ninjagambit> cant get it to work
[11:06] <NeT_DeMoN> i have my terminal up
[11:06] <Jordan_U> ninjagambit, 7.10 ?
[11:06] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, there you see a clock on the far right and a ubuntu logo, along with the words "applications", "places" and "system"
[11:06] <NeT_DeMoN> like i just cant find bittorrent
[11:06] <ninjagambit> gutsy
[11:06] <revilodraw> sinner51; sounds hardwareish... mine doesnt do that
[11:06] <NeT_DeMoN> i put it at the bottom :P
[11:07] <NeT_DeMoN> but yeah i see
[11:07] <wols_> ninjagambit: considering there is no flash for 64bit systems. quite a feat
[11:07] <ninjagambit> what if i used wine and ran a windows fire fox
[11:07] <ninjagambit> could i view flash sites
[11:07] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, fine, whatever. anyway, bittorrent is somewhere in the applications menu
[11:07] <wols_> you can. but usually one runs a 32bit firefox or something like nspluginwrapper
[11:07] <ninjagambit> i tried all the emulator stuff that never worked
[11:07] <laetitia> salut
[11:07] <BB88> NeT_DeMoN: It is 'gnome-btdownload'
[11:07] <NeT_DeMoN> its says its supposed to be under internet
[11:08] <ninjagambit> and nsplugingwrapper
[11:08] <wols_> WINE is another emulator even if they deny it
[11:08] <ona____> you must install plugin.....
[11:08] <NeT_DeMoN> yeah, from the add/remove programs thing
[11:08] <BB88> NeT_DeMoN: To run BitTorrent from Terminal, type 'gnome-btdownload'
[11:08] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[11:08] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks
[11:08] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor?
[11:08] <kbrooks> BB88, thats a very watered down version n
[11:09] <kbrooks> BB88, of bittorrent
[11:09] <ninjagambit> wine is the only thing i havnt tried
[11:09] <laetitia> jai un tit probleme je sais pas comment on mes kopete en français
[11:09] <Spoozilla> Hello all
[11:09] <BB88> kbrooks: I did not say it was any better or worse than what it is.
[11:09] <NeT_DeMoN> it brought up my home folder :|
[11:09] <ninjagambit> but im thinking maby it will work
[11:09] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, sorry...
[11:09] <BB88> NeT_DeMoN: Yes, browse to the torrent you want to download, if you have saved the .torrent file to disk.
[11:09] <ona____> Spoozzilla : hello
[11:09] <NeT_DeMoN> i just want to be able to download music and stuff
[11:09] <BB88> NeT_DeMoN: Try out FrostWire.
[11:10] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[11:10] <ninjagambit> download music from limewire
[11:10] <NeT_DeMoN> do i have to go to a site?
[11:10] <kbrooks> NeT_DeMoN, no
[11:10] <NeT_DeMoN> limewire i heard was gay
[11:10] <ninjagambit> download movies and stuff from mininova
[11:10] <BB88> NeT_DeMoN: http://www.frostwire.com/
[11:10] <dmgubuntu> Does anyone know why wireless would work with a livecd and not work once gutsy is installed?
[11:10] <ninjagambit> using bittorrent
[11:10] <kbrooks> !info frostwire
[11:10] <ubotu> Package frostwire does not exist in gutsy
[11:10] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks
[11:10] <BB88> dmgubuntu: What wireless do you have?
[11:11] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor?
[11:11] <ninjagambit> they have a napster package
[11:11] <dmgubuntu> BB88: I don't know. I am trying to install on my friends machine. How do I find out?
[11:11] <ninjagambit> but i havnt tried it
[11:11] <sinner51> revilodraw: oh man. its soo annoyinng you know. anyway, thanks.
[11:11] <NeT_DeMoN> is there a way to turn .exe files to linux files?
[11:11] <Spoozilla> I'm working on a Sun T2000 with Ubuntu 7.10 and I can't get it to autoboot. SILO will sit at the boot: boot: prompt until I attach a serial console and press return. Anyone have any suggestions?
[11:12] <BB88> dmgubuntu: I do it a simple way. Go up to the network icon and right click it, and then go to 'Connection Information'. Should be located under driver.
[11:12] <mosno> Spoozilla: never used SILO/Sun T2000, but it sounds like the bootloader doesn't have a timeout and/or default boot image
[11:12] <dmgubuntu> BB88: THat option is greyed out for me.
[11:13] <ninjagambit> to much tech jargon my brain is about to self destruct
[11:13] <ninjagambit> 5
[11:13] <ninjagambit> 4
[11:13] <ninjagambit> 3
[11:13] <wols_> ninjagambit: we got it. now stop
[11:13] <ninjagambit> i did
[11:13] <NeT_DeMoN> i hate my slow connection
[11:14] <Zenerek> hobojohn3 , i was looking online...might be a bug...have you tried getting a newer kernel?
[11:14] <NeT_DeMoN> i need to quit stealing my neighbors connection and get my own internet service :P
[11:14] <flo|va-nu-pied> plop les gens
[11:14] <Spoozilla> mosno: I have a default image set and I've tried setting the timeout to various settings. Setting it to 0 works intermitantly (which is annoying) and any other value just waits for the cosole to be attached.
[11:15] <flo|va-nu-pied> raah c'que c'est bon d'passer les firewall
[11:15] <flo|va-nu-pied> :)
[11:15] <BB88> dmgubuntu: lspci -v
[11:15] <flo|va-nu-pied> enfin pouvoir revenir sur IRC :)
[11:15] <manuel_> hello, I need some help with NetworkManager, resolvconf and dnsmasq. I want resolvconf to set my nameserver always to 127.0.0.1, wich seems to work, and dnsmasq to forward to 192.168.11.1 for all connections (except some..), so my resolvconf now has "nameserver 127.0.0.1", but I can't even ping any adress - neither localnet nor internet. dnsmasq is running and tells in the logfile the right dns-forwards... any ideas anyone?
[11:15] <mosno> Spoozilla: intermittent? no idea mate
[11:15] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor? please
[11:15] <wols_> Zenerek: I have seen it. and it looks like it just can't get it running again after it spins down
[11:15] <NeT_DeMoN> rain drops keep falling on my head :D
[11:15] <dmgubuntu> BB88: Atheros AR2413...?
[11:15] <wols_> hobojohn3: what I didn't see is what I asked for however. so suit yourself
[11:15] <mosno> NeT_DeMoN: lol
[11:15] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, Can you pastebin your silo.conf ?
[11:15] <NeT_DeMoN> i love the rain feature
[11:15] <BB88> dmgubuntu: Yes, that is the one.
[11:15] <mosno> NeT_DeMoN: but that doesn't mean my OS will soon be turnin' red...
[11:16] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[11:16] <mosno> NeT_DeMoN: Red Hat's not for me...
[11:16] <NeT_DeMoN> fire time
[11:16] <BB88> dmgubuntu: Yes, that is the one.
[11:16] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: Without sounding like an idiot (as much as humanly possible) what is a pastebin?
[11:16] <wols_> !pastebin

[11:16] <NeT_DeMoN> rain and fire, now wheres the wind :P
[11:16] <Zenerek> wols_: was looking online it may be a bug, maybe he should try newer kernel....if he does not have it that is
[11:16] <dmgubuntu> BB88: what do I do with that info?
[11:17] <BB88> dmgubuntu: Open up the 'Synaptic Package Manager' and install 'acer-acpi' and 'acerwificontroller'.

[11:17] <Kalamansi> hello when i tried to insert my usb's in the port (front or back) there is no "eject"...how to install "eject"?so that my usbs wont crashed
[11:17] <NeT_DeMoN> the bot is pretty smart
[11:18] <NeT_DeMoN> like with the "in case you missed it" thing
[11:18] <Jordan_U> Kalamansi, use umount
[11:18] <ikonia> klfd4: what usb devices ?
[11:18] <klfd4> huh?
[11:18] <Kalamansi> umount : ubuntu 7.10 desktop here... what is umount btw?
[11:18] <ikonia> oops
[11:18] <klfd4> :)
[11:18] <Hattori> in fstab i wrote: "//192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp smbfs username=xxx,password=yyy 0 0", and on boot /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp is empty. if i write sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //192.168.0.2/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp" it works, i can access the windows shared dir from  /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp dir. what's wrong with fstab file?
[11:18] <ikonia> Kalamansi: what usb device
[11:18] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor? please
[11:18] <Kalamansi>  Jordan_U : ubuntu 7.10 desktop here... what is umount btw?
[11:18] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, That was added by me :) "!factoid | <string to put before factoid>" is the syntax
[11:19] <brobostigon> !mount
[11:19] <NeT_DeMoN> oh, cool
[11:19] <BB88> Kalamansi: It unmounts the drive.
[11:19] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:19] <Kalamansi> ikonia : its kingston and ipq
[11:19] <ikonia> Kalamansi: ipq ?
[11:19] <ikonia> Kalamansi: solid state disk ?
[11:19] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48526/
[11:19] <Kalamansi> yes ikonia
[11:19] <Jordan_U> Kalamansi, It's the command used to unmount partitions, you can also right click on said drive / partition and choose unmount
[11:19] <dmgubuntu> BB88: I did a search for those packages and I didn't find them. Are they in another repo?
[11:19] <Spoozilla> uboto: Got it, thanks.]
[11:19] <ikonia> Kalamansi: when you insert it do you get an icon on your desktop ?
[11:19] <NeT_DeMoN> you know have the time my konversation program dont work
[11:20] <NeT_DeMoN> but yet pidgon always does
[11:20] <Kalamansi> Jordan_U: umount is like remove?or format?
[11:20] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, What happens when you choose '1' for the timeout?
[11:20] <NeT_DeMoN> i need a linux dude on my messenger list :P
[11:20] <Kalamansi> ikonia : yes..and i dont see "eject" there
[11:20] <NeT_DeMoN> i like the way it pulls up IPs though
[11:20] <Spoozilla> Jordan: I haven't tried 1 implicitly. I'll do it now.
[11:20] <BB88> dmgubuntu: Sorry, I was assuming it was a Acer Aspire 5040?
[11:20] <Jordan_U> Kalamansi, remove, it's basically the same as eject, but eject is not the proper word in this case because you have to pull the drive out yourself :)
[11:20] <NeT_DeMoN> pretty awesome, if only i knew how to use them :P
[11:21] <NeT_DeMoN> now im having mozilla problems
[11:21] <NeT_DeMoN> it wont download anything from mozilla
[11:21] <NeT_DeMoN> it gets so far
[11:21] <NeT_DeMoN> then stops
[11:21] <Kalamansi> Jordan_U: yes when i pull it up and try to insert in some pc it wont read meaning there is no files there
[11:21] <dmgubuntu> BB88: it's an aspire 3500. But the packages aren't showing up... so is that because they are in a non-default repo?
[11:22] <RenUbu> smb wont' display folder contents on gutsy anyone help?
[11:22] <NeT_DeMoN> is there a way for halo for PC to run on linux???
[11:22] <Jordan_U> Kalamansi, I am not sure what you mean, are you saying that you saved files to it but then those files didn't show up on another computer?
[11:23] <brobostigon> NeT_DeMoN: use wine
[11:23] <BB88> dmgubuntu: If they are not displaying now, then I assume so. Do you have the backup or recovery disk at hand?
[11:23] <Jordan_U> !appdb | NeT_DeMoN
[11:23] <Kalamansi> jordan_U yes
[11:23] <ubotu> NeT_DeMoN: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[11:23] <NeT_DeMoN> wine?
[11:23] <Daviey> RenUbu: samba was broken, sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba # should fix it
[11:23] <Jordan_U> !wine | NeT_DeMoN
[11:23] <ubotu> NeT_DeMoN: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[11:23] <RenUbu> tried it
[11:23] <NeT_DeMoN> my god, just throw the bot at me :P
[11:23]  * Jordan_U throws ubotu at NeT_DeMoN 
[11:23] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[11:24] <NeT_DeMoN> he scares me
[11:24] <dmgubuntu> BB88: I have only just installed gutsy so if that's what you mean by the backup/recovery disk... the install disk... then yes.

[11:26] <yusuo> hi anyone english here
[11:26] <ikonia> Kalamansi: yusuo yes
[11:26] <NeT_DeMoN> lol
[11:26] <ikonia> oops
[11:26] <void^> !botabuse | NeT_DeMoN
[11:26] <ubotu> NeT_DeMoN: 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.
[11:26] <Jordan_U> !msgthebot | NeT_DeMoN
[11:26] <ikonia> yell0w: yes
[11:26] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: In the long term it'll be a LAMP(ish) server. Right now it's a plaything
[11:26] <yusuo> I was wondering if i could get some help in ubuntu
[11:26] <ikonia> yusuo: if you ask a question, I'm sure you will
[11:26] <Jordan_U> yusuo, That's what we're here for :)
[11:26] <NeT_DeMoN> i was just seeing if it knew every language
[11:27] <ikonia> NeT_DeMoN: here is not the appropriate place to play with a bot
[11:27] <yusuo> i want to know how to preform a dos attack through terminal
[11:27] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[11:27] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Just languages for which there are channels
[11:27] <ikonia> yusuo: we do not support that sort of behaviour
[11:27] <dave81> !screens
[11:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about screens - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:27] <Jordan_U> !english > NeT_DeMoN
[11:27] <yusuo> i wouldn't if i didnt have my reasons
[11:27] <ikonia> yusuo: please don't ask us how to cause trouble or attack other people's systems
[11:27] <tubetop> help!!!!!  I installed the desktop ubuntu and I am trying to setup nfs sharing.  I did it using the sharing Admin tool.  When I am on my other machine, if I do a port scan I get Open TCP port 2049 nfsd..but I cant connect
[11:27] <ikonia> yusuo: we will not assist with that behaviour here
[11:27] <yusuo> ok then ill ask another question
[11:27] <RenUbu> hrm, complete removal of samba does libsmbclient need removal, as that will kill just about evertything?
[11:28] <yusuo> why on hell cant i get my file sharing working through samba
[11:28] <Adriaa1> I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 from a Live CD now, can I play a DVD-movie?
[11:28] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor? please
[11:28] <NeT_DeMoN> a dos attack?
[11:28] <NeT_DeMoN> like in MSDOS?
[11:28] <ikonia> yusuo: what sort of problems are you having, and please moderate your language
[11:28] <kyle_> yea like /con/con
[11:28] <kyle_> ;)
[11:28] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: Ok, its just sat at the "boot: boot:" prompt. I assume a setting of 1 should be .1 of a second delay before autoboot?
[11:28] <ikonia> NeT_DeMoN: Denial of Service
[11:28] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Denial Of Service
[11:28] <kael_> hi all
[11:28] <NeT_DeMoN> huh
[11:28] <Cubexombi> can someone gimme a little hand with X, it seems any video (avi or render like glxgears) once moved like to leave a ghost image behind, not sure what the root cause is but it is a wee bit annoying, wouldn't mind figureing it out
[11:28] <kyle_> NeT_DeMoN is getting a lot of stereo I see
[11:28] <NeT_DeMoN> i was just wondering
[11:29] <NeT_DeMoN> if thats what she was talking about
[11:29] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, Yes
[11:29] <manuel_> I need some help with NetworkManager, resolvconf and dnsmasq. I want resolvconf to set my nameserver always to 127.0.0.1, which seems to work, and dnsmasq to forward to 192.168.11.1 for all connections (except some..), so my resolvconf now has "nameserver 127.0.0.1", but I can't even ping any adress - neither localnet nor internet. dnsmasq is running and tells in the logfile the right dns-forwards... any ideas anyone?
[11:29] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: Crap :)
[11:29] <yusuo> sorry im just havin alot of problems settin up file sharing and to be fair hell isnt a swear in the uk
[11:29] <kael_> i've noticed a lil problem on my gutsy install, seems it uses only a small amount of my ram, is there a way to force ubuntu to use more of my 2 Gb of ram?
[11:29] <ikonia> manuel_: drop dns masq and test your network
[11:29] <tubetop> i figure if I can port scan the nfsd, then I should be able to connect...yes?
[11:29] <ikonia> yusuo: I'm in the uk and the phrase hell was uncalled for
[11:29]  * k3ito thinks its hilarious that someone would ask a question about dos attacks in here lol!!!!
[11:29] <ikonia> yusuo: please explain your problem
[11:29] <yusuo> ok ok
[11:29] <ikonia> k3ito: please stop talking about it
[11:30] <NeT_DeMoN> yusuo: www.hellboundhackers.org
[11:30] <kyle_> yusuo: these guys like to be super formal :)
[11:30] <k3ito> ikonia: ok
[11:30] <ikonia> NeT_DeMoN: that is NOT appropriate to discuss, what part of that did I not make clear
[11:30] <NeT_DeMoN> ok
[11:30] <yusuo> umm i've installed samaba and followed a wiki on ubuntu guide but when i try and access my computer through a windows terminal i have ahte no access error pop up[
[11:30] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, What happens if you comment out line one?
[11:30] <Zenerek> yusuo: personally some of usdon't care but we don't need to use such grammer anyway
[11:30] <ikonia> yusuo: have you added the samba user (not the actual login user)
[11:31] <tubetop> any nfs gurus in the house tonight?
[11:31] <ikonia> !samba >yusuo:
[11:31] <ricanelite> how can i check to see if my graphics card is working at full 3D
[11:31] <ikonia> !samba > yusuo
[11:31] <kyle_> hahahaha
[11:31] <k3ito> right.... I'd like to transfer files between two ubuntu boxes both hooked up to the same router.  do i need samba to do this or is that just win/linux combos?? any help on how to do this would be smashers
[11:31] <kedde> I have a problem with my wireless it's really slow I tried to add "alias ipv6 off" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist when I use a cable it runs ok. I'm sitting at my school the have a really good connection normally I have a speed on over 300kb/s but now the speed is max. 50 kb/s (I'm using gutsy 32 bit) does anyone have an idea?
[11:31] <dave81> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[11:31] <ikonia> yusuo: have a quick glance through the message from ubotu
[11:31] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor?
[11:31] <kyle_> NeT_DeMoN: they're harder on noobs than #ubuntu nice
[11:31] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: Trying now... I'll go make a cup of coffee whilst I wait for the wonder of OpenFirmware to ruin my morning.
[11:31] <ricanelite> hey dave that is what i'm trying to do as well
[11:32] <Zenerek> guys is it possible to network copms via bluetooth sticks?
[11:32] <NeT_DeMoN> huh
[11:32] <ikonia> kyle_: this is a busy support channel, please limit the off topic discussion, as you can see it is busy and hard to follow
[11:32] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, I love OpenFirmware, but it doesn't take an eon to boot for me :)
[11:32] <Zenerek> i meant comps
[11:32] <kyle_> k3ito: I'd say samba is easier to set up than nfs
[11:32] <ricanelite> why is it that out of no where my ubuntu just freezes on me
[11:32] <kyle_> ikonia: this isn't busy
[11:32] <ricanelite> or if i'm having 2-3 different application open
[11:32] <yusuo> i know that
[11:32] <Cubexombi> <kedde is your card getting toasty? fine at first but mine gets HOT to the touch after about a 20 minute session
[11:32] <NeT_DeMoN> would i be able to download frostwire from synaptic?
[11:32] <ricanelite> it will freeze up on me
[11:33] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: What sparc kit you using?
[11:33] <yusuo> i've had it workin before on my old network but havin troubles on this one
[11:33] <k3ito> kyle: do I have to isntall on both systems?
[11:33] <Jordan_U> ricanelite, Have you tried sshing in and running top?
[11:33] <ricanelite> how do i do that?
[11:33] <kyle_> k3ito: you'd pick one to be server, and then install smbfs on the other
[11:33] <ikonia> yusuo: ok, so can the two machines ping each other by ip and / or name
[11:33] <rasecs> sera que encontro alguem de lingua portuguesa
[11:33] <Jordan_U> Spoozilla, None, just an old imac :)
[11:33] <rasecs> para me ajudar
[11:33] <ricanelite> okay i got top running in terminal and what i'm looking for?
[11:33] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: AHhh! Hence no waiting for hardware discovery ;)
[11:34] <NeT_DeMoN> !synaptic
[11:34] <RenUbu> hrm, complete removal of samba does libsmbclient need removal, as that will kill just about evertything?
[11:34] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[11:34] <dmgubuntu> BB88: do you know what repo those packages are from?
[11:34] <k3ito> kyle: would that allow me to be at either pc and transfer files?  I've not used samba before so don't really no the score.  can I not just ftp?
[11:34] <NeT_DeMoN> how do i zoom out with the cube effect?
[11:34] <NeT_DeMoN> like zoom the cube back?
[11:34] <Chinaski1> hello
[11:35] <ricanelite> ctrl+alt mouse button 1
[11:35] <yusuo> yup i can access the windows share but not the other way round
[11:35] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, IIRC Super + scroll wheel
[11:35] <yusuo> connected through a router
[11:35] <kyle_> k3ito: yea you can set up ftp, although I've been very unlucky with that recently :)
[11:35] <ikonia> yusuo: ok, so thats a start. On the ubuntu side have you setup a user to connect as ?
[11:35] <NeT_DeMoN> holy crap
[11:35] <ikonia> NeT_DeMoN: what ?
[11:35] <NeT_DeMoN> i ment like throw the cube back
[11:35] <ikonia> NeT_DeMoN: can you please calm down and stop the commentory
[11:35] <NeT_DeMoN> like watch the cube from afar
[11:36] <triplc> hi all
[11:36] <yusuo> ???????
[11:36] <k3ito> kyle_: how would i do that?
[11:36] <triplc> what is a program like xsel (stdin - x clipboard - stdout) but with UNICODE safe? I write a text filter and it works well, but when it come to Unicode text... xsel does not work as expected :(
[11:36] <yusuo> i guess not lol how do i go bout doin that
[11:36] <yusuo> oh yeah i have
[11:36] <ikonia> yusuo: when you connect to the share hosted on your ubuntu box you need a user to authenticate against
[11:36] <ikonia> yusuo: do you follow what I'm saying
[11:36] <yusuo> yeah
[11:36] <ikonia> cool
[11:36] <ricanelite> what did it do when you press ctrl+alt+mouse button1
[11:36] <Chinaski1> ho to get a projector to work over ubuntu?
[11:36] <NeT_DeMoN> like i saw a video on youtube with the cube like far back
[11:36] <NeT_DeMoN> and it was like rotating
[11:36] <yusuo> i added the name yusuo as the smb user
[11:36] <NeT_DeMoN> how do i do that
[11:36] <ikonia> yusuo: so you've done a "sudo smbpasswd -a"
[11:37] <yusuo> yup
[11:37] <ricanelite> yeah ctrl+alt+mouse button 1
[11:37] <ikonia> yusuo: ok, thats a solid start, have you looked at the samba log files and the sys log to see what it is complaining about
[11:37] <Zenerek> so no a one knows it possible to network copms via bluetooth sticks?
[11:37] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, Change your preferences in ccsm and ctrl+alt+ drag the mouse
[11:37] <NeT_DeMoN> its not working
[11:37] <NeT_DeMoN> which preferences?
[11:37] <Jordan_U> NeT_DeMoN, 3D cube
[11:37] <yusuo> no how do i view them
[11:37] <NeT_DeMoN> ok, thanks
[11:38] <ricanelite> system+preferences and avanced desktop settings
[11:38] <kyle_> k3ito: theres a bunch of howtos on the forums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[11:38] <ryanakca> Jordan_U: eh? why would synaptic be helpful to me?
[11:38] <ricanelite> what is kacpid?
[11:38]  * ryanakca assumes it's a misstab and goes to have breakfast ;)
[11:38] <novas0x2a> i have a ppa-based source in my list. However, i only want to track a few packages for it. The source's Release file meta-information matches ubuntu's- how can i change the pin priority for packages in the ppa?
[11:39] <kyle_> ricanelite: kernel acpi daemon, google acpi if you're curious ;)
[11:39] <NeT_DeMoN> yay, i got it to do it
[11:39] <NeT_DeMoN> thanks guys
[11:39] <ricanelite> well is it fine that it is doing 80 cpu?
[11:40] <tubetop> Howdy all again....I got Desktop installed and got CUPS setup and working but now I cant get NFS to work... I did the sharing using the sharing Admin tool, Admin-> Sharing. When I am on my client machine, if I do a port scan I get Open TCP port 2049 nfsd..but I cant connect....I figured if I could scan the server and see the port everything would be happy....darn....not!  any ideas on what...
[11:40] <tubetop> ...to try next.... BTW... I set the NFS sharing using Networks like 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0
[11:40] <Spoozilla> Jordan_U: Ok, that's made no difference
[11:40] <NeT_DeMoN> jordan_U: how do i do that bluetooth stuff you were telling me about earlier
[11:41] <dave81> can some one help me get my tv to work as a second monitor?
[11:41] <NeT_DeMoN> s-cord?
[11:41] <dave81> !pm
[11:41] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[11:42] <yusuo> sorry ikonnia how do u view the samba report files

[11:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about monitor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:42] <NeT_DeMoN> !bluetooth
[11:42] <dmgubuntu> Can anyone tell me if it's normal when you have wireless problems for the card to work while running the livecd but not work after install...?

[11:43] <yusuo> anyone how do u get a command in terminal to repeat itself endlessly
[11:43] <fyrestrtr> yusuo: what command?
[11:44] <tomaso> erver
[11:44] <yusuo> i want to have a command repeat itself cause i keep losing connection so when it goes i want it to try and download a file again automatically
[11:44] <dave81> !screen
[11:44] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[11:44] <yusuo> fyrestrtr can i pm u
[11:45] <NeT_DeMoN> pm?
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> yusuo: launch the command in !screen, then detatch the screen so it runs in the background.
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> yusuo: ctrl+a+d to detatch a screen
[11:45] <mosno> or ctrl+a+D+D if you're emo ;)
[11:46] <fyrestrtr> what tha heck is a 'emo'?
[11:46] <Gothfunc> you stick your hand up it and it bites people fyrestrtr
[11:46] <kyle_> ^a D D logs you out
[11:46] <the_wall> irc.azzurra.net
[11:46] <mosno> fyrestrtr: hahaha, google emo, someone asked almost the exact same string
[11:46] <yusuo> i dont get u sry fyresrtr
[11:47] <gmngz> hello
[11:47] <Liquidfire-> Could anyone help me with acetoneiso2
[11:47] <Liquidfire-> I need to do some chmod commands
[11:47] <kyle_> yusuo: you probably want like wget -c http://url/to/big/file
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> yusuo: install screen (sudo apt-get install screen), then run the command you want to keep running even when you lose the connection in screen -- screen somecommand
[11:47] <Liquidfire-> but iso doesn't create any folder to do them on
[11:48] <ricanelite> okay i have a major issue. The computer will just freeze on me I could move the mouse around but the I cannot do anything with the KB. It never have done this before
[11:48] <ricanelite> it has been doing it since this past weekend. I did a clean install of Ubuntu Gusty
[11:48] <magnetron> ricanelite: USB keyboard?
[11:48] <ricanelite> ps/2
[11:49] <ricanelite> i had gusty installed before and never had a issue
[11:49] <stib> tel me it's not just me. I was having a look at the microsoft viral marketing recruitment site hey-genius.com, and looked at the forum pages. After a minute or so I realised I had moderator access. have a look at http://tinyurl.com/35r9t4
[11:50] <kyle_> its a trick, they want you to feel like a genius
[11:50] <magnetron> ricanelite: it may be an IRQ conflict. try deactivating some hardware (like USB or soundcard) is BIOS temporarily
[11:50] <bazhang> offtopic stib :}
[11:50] <stib> oh.. me lame.
[11:50] <Liquidfire-> anyone ^^?
[11:50] <mosno> stib: i can delete too
[11:50] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: i think that using this opendns is dangerous cos all your info goes through somewhere else...
[11:50] <bazhang> Liquidfire-: what was your question?
[11:50] <mosno> stib: that's so stupid
[11:50] <fyrestrtr> Liquidfire-: did you mount the iso?
[11:51] <Liquidfire-> I tried, through the gui
[11:51] <Liquidfire-> its giving some errors
[11:51] <fyrestrtr> through the gui? what gui?
[11:51] <Liquidfire-> Wait i'll rehprase the question
[11:51] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Just info about what domains you go to, and otherwise it would be still going to your ISP's DNS server
[11:52] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, If you are doing something that really needs anonymity ( and is not high bandwidth ) use tor
[11:53] <ricanelite> I also have another question. When Installing ubuntu when I setup my harddrive so I still have my Windows Partition I never put a Swap for Ubuntu Linux
[11:53] <Liquidfire-> I've installed a acetoneiso2 Debian package. When I try to run it, it works like a charm. But when I try to mount an iso it gives the following error -> "error, could not mount image" Possible sulotion activiate Fuse, but when I try to do activate fuse, I can't because the folder I need to do a chmod command on isn't there
[11:53] <ricanelite> can that be a issue?
[11:53] <VuurDraak> you still have to encrypt your connection to anther server (like using https) if you use Tor to stay realy anonymous (end servers can grab unecrypted tor data)
[11:53] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: i dont need high anonymity, just dont like sending info such as ebay transactions ie credit cards etc
[11:53] <kyle_> Liquidfire-: you're using a gui to mount an iso?
[11:53] <revilodraw> Jordan_U: what is tor anyway?
[11:54] <dave81> Help me please anyone
[11:54] <Liquidfire-> kyle_:
[11:54] <Liquidfire-> yea
[11:54] <Liquidfire-> acetoneiso
[11:54] <kyle_> yeesh just mkdir /mnt/somethingshorterthanthis and mount file /mnt/whatever -o loop
[11:54] <fyrestrtr> revilodraw: you are not sending that information. opendns is for DNS only.
[11:54] <Liquidfire-> alright
[11:54] <bazhang> dave81: what is your question
[11:54] <VuurDraak> tor is like a p2p network that tries to hide your IP
[11:54] <Liquidfire-> kyle_: i'm still used to the GUI stuff, so I don't know alot about bash yet
[11:55] <revilodraw> fyresrtr; ok thanks
[11:55] <kyle_> oh, well uh I guess you'll want to sudo both those commands
[11:55] <Liquidfire-> k
[11:55] <RenUbu> smb://IPaddress will display folders but say contents can't be displayed. any help?
[11:56] <yusuo> how do i install a file into the bash
[11:56] <dave81> bazhang: i need to set up my tv as a second screen
[11:56] <kyle_> revilodraw: your computer is broadcasting an IP! (sorry couldn't help myself)
[11:56] <girolamo> !italiano
[11:56] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:56] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, That information is not sent to DNS servers, literally all that is sent to a DNS server is that you are trying to go to "google.com" and all that is sent back is "64.233.187.99" which you then connect to and actually do transfers with
[11:57] <bazhang> dave81: and the question is? :}
[11:57] <Tyczek> what is the best output for mplayer with ATI fglrx?
[11:57] <dave81> how can i do that?
[11:57] <kyle_> Tyczek: start with xv
[11:57] <bazhang> dave81: you have tv out? what card?
[11:57] <ricanelite> what is xserver-xgl?
[11:57] <recluse2> I use OpenDNS, All it does is translate a domain name to the IP address, for example: if I put http://www.whateverwebstite.com into my browser opendns grabs that and sends the browser to ###.##.##.#
[11:57] <Tyczek> kyle_: I haave problem with that
[11:57] <thalass> Hello folks
[11:58] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, And banks / paypal should all have security setup such that it doesn't matter if there is some creepy guy tapping your DSL, they would not be able to get that info
[11:58] <Liquidfire-> kyle_: , it says specifiy file system tiype
[11:58] <Liquidfire-> type
[11:58] <Liquidfire-> :F
[11:58] <Tyczek> kyle_: On full screen the image quality is really bad
[11:58] <thalass> Having some trouble getting the restricted firmware on my wireless card to cooperate
[11:58] <dave81> nivida gforce card i had it set up on windows but cant get it up and running on ubuntu
[11:58] <Tyczek> otherwise GL- looks good but it's freezing and skipping
[11:58] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, But again, that is not even the case with DNS servers
[11:58] <Liquidfire-> dave81, did you ran the restricted drivers thingy?
[11:58] <Liquidfire-> are trhose sources enabled
[11:58] <kyle_> Liquidfire-: excuse me while I google this one hehehe
[11:58] <dave81> oh yes the card seems to be working ok
[11:59] <Liquidfire-> hmm
[11:59] <Tyczek> I don't know what to do with that...
[11:59] <kyle_> Liquidfire-: -t iso9660
[11:59] <dave81> just cant get it to play thrue tv
[11:59] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NvidiaTVOut dave81 this may help
[11:59] <kyle_> Liquidfire-: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test
[11:59] <Liquidfire-> where do i add that in the command line kyle_
[11:59] <dave81> cool thank you
[11:59] <Liquidfire-> ah

[11:59] <bazhang> dave81: if that does not work then geexbox might be a solution
[12:00] <thalass> That's the trouble I'm having. Not sure how to enable the sources for the wireless card. Also the graphics card, but that seems to be running fine as it is so I'm not fussed just yet.
[12:00] <dave81> ok thank you for your time
[12:00] <firekool> hi I just installed my system and I don't think alsa is configured for my 5.1 sound how would I go about checking that?

[12:01] <Liquidfire-> Jordan_U, i wasn't even touching my mouse lol
[12:01] <Liquidfire-> probably hit a key combo or smth

[12:02] <Liquidfire-> hahah
[12:02] <Liquidfire-> yes
[12:02] <ktosia> was ubuntu designed by morons? or is there other reason for stupid beeping from PC speaker when using Kosole?
[12:02] <Liquidfire-> =D i'm the prototype geek kyle_ ;D
[12:02] <Liquidfire-> Hmm, kyle_, just to update you i can't mounth bin files

[12:05] <araju> is there a channel I should be going to, to ask about it?
[12:05] <kyle_> iono see if theres a #gnupod but might be better off looking for forums/mailing lists
[12:05] <lesshaste> how do I start sshd?
[12:05] <kyle_> lesshaste: bad answer: sshd
[12:06] <soundray> lesshaste: have you installed it?
[12:06] <ikonia> yusuo: which commands ?
[12:06] <araju> lesshast: Less worse answer: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[12:06] <lesshaste> soundray, yes but I am in telinit 1

[12:07] <g[r]eek> Hi how do I format my flash drive?
[12:07] <lesshaste> araju, :) is there anything else I need to do?
[12:07] <seldon> hi, I'm new here, just testing out xchat-gnome
[12:07] <ikonia> g[r]eek: put a file system on it, what file system do you want
[12:07] <ikonia> seldon: welcome
[12:07] <seldon> thx
[12:07] <g[r]eek> It was from a windows computer and I want to format it for ext3
[12:07] <drez> hi ppl
[12:08] <Liquidfire-> I think i got it mounted now kyle_, how can I check ?
[12:08] <kyle_> g[r]eek: mkfs.ext3 /dev/whateveritis,but be careful
[12:08] <g[r]eek> ikonia, I cannot seem to find any "format" or "fdisk" type program on the menus.
[12:08] <yusuo> im tryin to write a.sh file to repeat a command in terminal
[12:08] <kyle_> Liquidfire-: ls /mnt/iso
[12:08] <ikonia> yusuo: which commands
[12:08] <araju> lesshaste: This link might help in some ways: http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/
[12:08] <kyle_> or wherever it was, or just go to there with the GUI
[12:08] <g[r]eek> ok
[12:08] <Liquidfire-> alright
[12:08] <Liquidfire-> coolios
[12:08] <ikonia> g[r]eek: mke2fs -j /dev/Device_name
[12:08] <g[r]eek> mkfs
[12:08] <Liquidfire-> now I need to use wine to run the cd
[12:08] <Liquidfire-> wish me luck lol
[12:08] <ikonia> g[r]eek: where device name = /dev/sda for example
[12:08] <g[r]eek> ikonia, what is the difference between mkfs and mkefs
[12:08] <kyle_> ikonia: nooooo dont format that
[12:08] <lesshaste> araju, thanks but I don't think I need anything else
[12:09] <kyle_> format the partition!
[12:09] <ikonia> kyle_: I said for example
[12:09] <g[r]eek> sda? Isn't that my hard drive?
[12:09] <ikonia> g[r]eek: yes, as an example
[12:09] <g[r]eek> Ok
[12:09] <ikonia> g[r]eek: /dev/sdc2 for second partition on sdc
[12:09] <drez> i want to change the way ubuntu display number, from 2,000.00 to 2000,00   is this possible?
[12:09] <g[r]eek> ikonia, also, I need the USB drive to be readable both on Ubuntu and Windows
[12:09] <araju> lesshaste: In the sense, u don't need to install, but the rest of the setup should be the same
[12:09] <g[r]eek> ikonia, what filesystem do you recomend?
[12:09] <ikonia> g[r]eek: then I suggest vfat
[12:09] <kyle_> drez: isn't that app specific?
[12:09] <drez> i dunno, is it?
[12:09] <ricanelite> how do i add more desktops screens?
[12:10] <lesshaste> araju, ok... I just want sshd running when I am in telinit 1
[12:10] <g[r]eek> ikonia, I see - it seems to already be on vfat. I checked its properties. I'm just wondering if perhaps I don't need to format it at all
[12:10] <kyle_> i dunno, I'm canadian and the C locale is fine for me :)
[12:10] <ikonia> g[r]eek: sounds good to me
[12:10] <soundray> ricanelite: right-click the workspace switcher and select Preferences
[12:10] <Liquidfire-> argh
[12:10] <Jordan_U> drez, Yes, it's possible, let me see if I can find out how ( should be something about localization in the preferences )
[12:10] <Liquidfire-> i'm a sad boy now wine can't emulate the setup
[12:10] <Liquidfire-> =(
[12:10] <kyle_> drez: what program?
[12:11] <Liquidfire-> Thanks anyways kyle_
[12:11] <Liquidfire-> learned some stuff =))
[12:11] <araju> lesshaste: Guess I totally missed the question.
[12:11] <drez> Netbeans
[12:11] <lesshaste> araju, :)
[12:11] <drez> im a java developer
[12:11] <ikonia> yusuo: which commands do you wish to execute
[12:11] <araju> Anybody played around with gnupod?
[12:11] <ricanelite> how come when i zoom out to see the cube i dont have a full cube?
[12:11] <ricanelite> it seems like i only have to desktops
[12:11] <ikonia> araju: a collegue of mine is using it, he finds it good with potential, but a few bugs compared to more mature options like gtkpod
[12:12] <poeticrpm> Set virtual desktops to 4
[12:12] <araju> ikonia: Kewl. Any way I could find out more? I just "initialized" my pod with gnupod, and it does nothing now. How can I add songs to it?
[12:12] <poeticrpm> do you have ccsm ricanelite
[12:12] <ikonia> araju: no idea, never used it myself
[12:13] <araju> ikonia: Thanks anyways. Any way I can contact your friend? :)
[12:13] <ikonia> araju: not really.
[12:13] <ikonia> araju: just googled and found a few sites about it
[12:13] <linduxed> for the terminal server client....how do i check my domain/host?
[12:13] <ikonia> araju: so there is info out of there
[12:13] <lesshaste> anyone know how to send an sms from the command line in linux?
[12:13] <araju> ikonia: <sigh> Yes, that's the first thing I always try
[12:13] <linduxed> so that someone can remotecontrol my comp
[12:13] <ikonia> lesshaste: you need an sms gateway
[12:13] <ikonia> lesshaste: or connect to a cell phone with bluetooth
[12:14] <lesshaste> ikonia, ok
[12:14] <ikonia> yusuo: which commands do you wish to execute
[12:15] <Liquidfire-> general question
[12:15] <Liquidfire-> is Cedega worth buying or should I stick with a dual boot ?
[12:16] <ikonia> Liquidfire-: I don't rate any of the compatability applications
[12:16] <ikonia> Liquidfire-: but thats my personal opinion
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> k
[12:16] <g[r]eek> ikonia, in my filesystem, where is the usb drive mounted?
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> in /mnt/
[12:16] <g[r]eek> I'm too used to accessing it on my desktop - but there the files are locked. So I need to delete them as sudo
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> if i'm not mistaken
[12:16] <g[r]eek> ok Thanks
[12:16] <ikonia> g[r]eek: type mount and take a look, normally /media/$name_of _volume
[12:16] <ikonia> Liquidfire-: no its not
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> oh
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> dont listen to me lol
[12:16] <Liquidfire-> !
[12:16] <yusuo> my own command
[12:16]  * Liquidfire- runs away
[12:17] <ikonia> yusuo: which ones ?
[12:17] <ikonia> yusuo: have you made your own binaries ?
[12:17] <g[r]eek> its in /media/disk/
[12:17] <Spoozilla> yusuo: PM'ed you the answer.
[12:17] <Pici> g[r]eek: it might be easier for you to use gparted if you arent sure what device it is.  gparted is in the repository
[12:17] <ikonia> g[r]eek: excellent
[12:17] <g[r]eek> Thanks for your help guys
[12:17] <VuurDraak> Is gutsy yet fully supporting NTSF ?

[12:20] <ktosia> mqsl fails to work
[12:20] <yusuo> yeah i still prefer winavi runnin in wine

[12:20] <ktosia> ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'uhdb'
[12:20] <ktosia> wtf is that
[12:20] <ikonia> Liquidfire-: join #ubuntu-forums
[12:20] <ikonia> ktosia: wtf and language of that nature is not welcome or required in #ubuntu
[12:20] <g[r]eek> ikonia, any idea what that error means / why I cannot remove files even as sudo?
[12:20] <soundray> ktosia: don't use that abbreviation here
[12:20] <ricanelite> why i don't see a full cube?
[12:20] <ktosia> oh my
[12:20] <kyle_> g[r]eek: unmount it, mkfs.ext3 the partition, also make sure the readonly switch isn't selected
[12:20] <ktosia> so how about the problem?
[12:21] <ikonia> ktosia: that command is a grant permissions command for a mysql database
[12:21] <ktosia> ikonia: why it fails
[12:21] <ktosia> ikonia: Im logged in as mysql root user, and yt I cant create new users O_o?
[12:21] <ikonia> ktosia: please pastebin it so I can re-read it
[12:21] <ktosia> ikonia: how to

[12:22] <g[r]eek> mkfs.vfat?
[12:22] <soundray> g[r]eek: mkdosfs
[12:23] <g[r]eek> ok
[12:23] <soundray> g[r]eek: you probably want mkdosfs -F32 -- read man mkdosfs before you go ahead
[12:23] <yusuo> is anyone willin to help me in a pm window please
[12:23] <ikonia> yusuo: please ask your questions in channel
[12:23] <g[r]eek> I tried umount /media/disk but it says it's not in the fstab
[12:23] <ikonia> yusuo: there are plenty of people who can help in channel, I'm happy to help.
[12:24] <g[r]eek> I don't understand this I'm just relaying the messages exactly I appreciate your patience
[12:24] <soundray> g[r]eek: on the command line, enter 'man mkdosfs' to read about the command and its options.
[12:24] <Liquidfire-> Does anyone have any experience with wine?
[12:25] <yusuo> ikona i wrote a script that repeats a command over and over but i want it to wait till it finishes d/l in the file before it d/l's it again
[12:25] <ikonia> yusuo: what is the commands ? can you show me the script in a pastebin
[12:25] <dave81> Liquidfire-: what do you need?
[12:25] <g[r]eek> soundray, ok I need to unmount it first. It is mounted at /media/disk/ but when I try umount /media/disk/ it says "it's not in the fstab"
[12:25] <yusuo> paste bin ????
[12:25] <ricanelite> anybody use compiz?

[12:25] <Liquidfire-> I just made a topic explaining the problem, since its quiet complex, can I pm it to you ?
[12:25] <Pici> !anyone | ricanelite
[12:25] <ubotu> ricanelite: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:25] <ikonia> yusuo: if you put the script in a pastebin I can see it and help you fix it
[12:25] <soundray> g[r]eek: try 'eject /media/disk'
[12:26] <ktosia> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48532/
[12:26] <ktosia> ikonia: I can create test- databases
[12:26] <g[r]eek> ok that worked
[12:26] <ikonia> ktosia: I asked you to put the grant command in the pastebin, as that is the one thats failing. why have you put every command but the grant one in the pastebin
[12:27] <yusuo>  ok i pasted it ikonia
[12:27] <ikonia> yusuo: where ?
[12:27] <ktosia> ikonia: other commands are also failing aas you can see.
[12:27] <ikonia> kst: thats because of your permissions
[12:27] <Liquidfire-> dave81, :)?
[12:27] <Pici> yusuo: you need to provide us with the link.
[12:27] <yusuo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48533/
[12:27] <soundray> g[r]eek: once you know which options you are going to use, you can enter on the command line 'sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -n YourLabel /dev/sdb' (where /dev/sdb is just an example)
[12:28] <linduxed> anyone who can give me a quick rundown on how to use the termina service client to remote control my pals comp?
[12:28] <soundray> (as are the other options I'm showing)
[12:28] <g[r]eek> Ok it seems mkfs.vfat is a link to mkdosfs - so before I do this, just to confirm, its: mkdosfs -F 32 {usb}
[12:28] <ikonia> yusuo: why do you want to get the file over and over again
[12:28] <yusuo> i dont have a reason for that one
[12:28] <ikonia> yusuo: do you want that to finish before starting a new one, or keep starting new ones while the others are downloading
[12:28] <ktosia> why ubuntu fails to provide normally working mysql?
[12:28] <Liquidfire-> Anyone got any help for this problem, of wine ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3966918#post3966918
[12:28] <g[r]eek> soundray, ok. Now that I have unmounted my flash drive from /media/disk/ - which label am I to pass to the mkdosfs command?
[12:28] <yusuo> download one and then start another one
[12:28] <ikonia> ktosia: show me the grant command as I've asked you 3 times and I'll explain
[12:29] <ikonia> yusuo: that is a DOS attack that I told you not to request in here
[12:29] <ikonia> yusuo: I've just made a request for freenode to report your AOL username to AOL also as a breach of TOC of AOL
[12:29] <g[r]eek> soundray, or does it need to be mounted? Someone further up said I must unmount if before formatting it
[12:29] <yusuo> i dont want it for that now, mainly just cause im curious for future scipts
[12:30] <ikonia> yusuo: unacceptable
[12:30] <g[r]eek> But now I don't know how to refer to it in the format command
[12:30] <yusuo> i wanna test it and then stop it
[12:30] <soundray> g[r]eek: the 'eject' command unmounted it for you
[12:30] <ikonia> yusuo: unaccaptable
[12:30] <yusuo> its for educational purposes
[12:30] <ikonia> yusuo: unaccaptable
[12:30] <Administrator> oh lol
[12:30] <ktosia> ikonia:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48534/  thi?
[12:31] <g[r]eek> soundray, ok, so how do I refer to it in the mkdosfs command now that it's ejected (ie: no longer available at /media/disk/)?
[12:31] <ktosia> ikonia: so?
[12:31] <ikonia> ktosia: when you connect as root can you do "connect mysql"
[12:31] <soundray> g[r]eek: run 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if it is listed
[12:32] <ktosia> ikonia: mysql> connect mysql     ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'mysql'
[12:32] <Zombocom> what did yusuo do that ikonia is so pissed about
[12:32] <ktosia> ikonia: damn it Just Worked (tm) last time I tried
[12:32] <ktosia> afair on debian
[12:32] <ikonia> ktosia: what have you done to remove the access frmo the root user
[12:32] <ktosia> ikonia: nothing
[12:32] <ikonia> ktosia: try setting the mysql root user password
[12:32] <ktosia> ikonia: how to set it?
[12:32] <ikonia> ktosia: mysqladmin

[12:38] <revilodraw> what can i use to convert avi to iso?
[12:39] <kaptengu> I need a program to extract emails from a webpage, any suggestions?
[12:40] <Ubuntu2> is there a program to convert avi files to dvd
[12:40] <magnetron> revilodraw: try avidemux
[12:41] <magnetron> Ubuntu2: devede
[12:41] <Ubuntu2> ty
[12:42] <g[r]eek> soundray, I'm guessing it's sdb - because sda1, sda2 and sda5 are Linux /Swap / Solaris - then sdb is below on its lonesome, with 1048mb (its a 1gig flash drive) and its sdb1, sdb2 and sdb3 counterparts have "file system unknown"
[12:43] <revilodraw> magnetron: thanks!
[12:43] <soundray> g[r]eek: unusual -- you have a "raw"-formatted filesystem then. I would recommend creating a partition then. Try gksudo gparted (you may have to apt-get install gparted)
[12:44] <ktosia> ikonia:  changing of password also fails  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48535/
[12:44] <g[r]eek> soundray, the flash disk was formatted on windows to begin with that's probably why
[12:44] <g[r]eek> But I'll try gparted
[12:44] <ibou> salut$
[12:44] <ibou> hi
[12:44] <soundray> g[r]eek: even Windows partitions flash drives these days, afaik.
[12:44] <bingk> :-Dhi
[12:44] <g[r]eek> Ok I'm busy installing gparted. Thanks for the help
[12:45] <soundray> g[r]eek: gparted will let you make the fat32 filesystem, too.
[12:45] <soundray> g[r]eek: be careful to point it to /dev/sdb -- you don't want to mess up your hard disk partitions.
[12:45] <ktosia> help

[12:46] <g[r]eek> soundray, yeah I did but it says "an error has occurred" - "unable to open sdb - unrecognisable disk labe;"
[12:46] <ikonia> ktosia: you can also try using the -h $your_hostname flag with mysql

[12:53] <ktosia> I just installed app armored... perhaps it is doing too good job
[12:53] <Hagg1> Can anyone point me to a good maual/howto that describes how to install nfs-kernel-server inside a chroot? The istallation wores out just fine but when I unmount /proc I get the message "Device busy"

[12:55] <soundray> ktosia: I don't think that's it
[12:55] <ktosia> how to nuke entire stupid mysql
[12:55] <ktosia> and reinstall entire stupid mysql
[12:55] <soundray> ktosia: pull yourself together
[12:55] <ktosia> cleanly
[12:55] <ktosia> soundray: it wasn't app armored fault
[12:55] <soundray> ktosia: I know
[12:55] <ktosia> probably my accounts got somehow messed up
[12:55] <soundray> ktosia: no it didn't
[12:55] <ktosia> so, how to cleanly reinstall mysql... as if it was never installed
[12:56] <soundray> ktosia: it wouldn't be of any use, because you're not initializing it correctly.
[12:56] <soundray> ktosia: what distribution are you running?
[12:57] <ktosia> soundray: ubuntu 7.10
[12:57] <ktosia> ia64
[12:57] <fyrestrtr> ktosia: sudo apt-get --remove --purge mysql-server-5.0
[12:57] <soundray> ktosia: ia64 -- are you sure? What CPU?
[12:57]  * Hagg1 feeling very alone with his nfsd-problem
[12:58] <soundray> fyrestrtr: it won't solve the problem
[12:58] <fyrestrtr> ktosia: how did you install it?
[12:58] <predaeus> Hagg1, I don't think you can unmount /proc, it is just a virtual directory representing kernel settings.
[12:58] <ktosia> soundray: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz
[12:58] <soundray> fyrestrtr: do you want to take over?
[12:59] <ikonia> predaeus: correct
[12:59] <fyrestrtr> ktosia: that's not a 64 bit cpi.
[12:59] <ikonia> ktosia: apologies for the distraction, I was away
[12:59] <fyrestrtr> err, cpu.
[12:59] <soundray> ktosia: you don't have ia64 then
[12:59] <ikonia> ktosia: I had something else to take care of
[12:59] <Hagg1> predaeus: It's inside a chroot and I made "# mount -t none /proc" before the installation
[12:59] <Hagg1> maby I shouldn't?
[12:59] <ikonia> ktosia: do you want to resolve this issue
[12:59] <ikonia> Hagg1: what are you trying to install ?
[13:00] <ktosia> ikonia: yeap
[13:00] <ikonia> ktosia: ok, can you just explain where you are up to
[13:00] <crush_groove> mornin room
[13:00] <ktosia> ikonia: now I'm nuking all mysql* packaes installed
[13:00] <asathoor> anyone with a wacom tablet?
[13:00] <ikonia> ktosia: ok, so apt-get remove $package --purege

[13:07] <dnkk> can any1 help me with install Atheros AR5007EG wifi  driver in Ubuntu ?
[13:07] <mike> anyone clued up on running a 3g based gateway??
[13:07] <ikonia> Hagg1: you won't be able to unmount /proc while there are kernel processes using it
[13:07] <fyrestrtr> mike: 1. make sure the pcmcia card is supported and you are able to connect to it from the gateway pc. 2. install a ethernet card on the gateway pc 3. install shorewall 4. configure shorewall 5. (optional) install dhcp + dns on the gateway server
[13:07] <wols_>  ktosia export LANG=C
[13:07] <wols_> then run whatever you need to run
[13:07] <mike> shot dude
[13:07] <j__> hi
[13:08] <j__> does so know what is the ubuntu gutsy chess player?
[13:08] <wols_> mike: what does "gateway" mean?
[13:08] <j__> i would like to install it on debian
[13:08] <fyrestrtr> mike: I share a 3.5G net from my laptop across three machine :)
[13:08]  * ktosia murders stupid mysql with a killall
[13:08] <j__> but i don't know the gui
[13:08] <wols_> mike: 3. install ipmasq and dnsmasq 4. done
[13:08] <j__> i'm sure so can check ;)
[13:08] <b166er> Hey all
[13:08] <ktosia> VICTORY
[13:08] <fyrestrtr> wols_: cheater :)
[13:09] <daleinchicago> good morning.  where would be the best place to find some modem help with Gutsy?  please be patient, I'm a one handed typist.  thanks
[13:09] <ktosia> after killall mysqld I was able to kick stupid mysql outta system!
[13:09] <wols_> it's not cheating, it's common sense
[13:09] <mike> i have vodacom 3g in pcmcia adaptor in old PIII 800 - i want this set as gateway - doable?
[13:09]  * ktosia dances on mysql grave
[13:09] <Hagg1> ikonia: that's true, that's why I get "Device busy" when I try to unmount it, but how do I install the nfs-kernel-server inside the chroot without involving  /proc (not autostart the service after install)?
[13:09] <wols_> mike: depends on the 3G adapter
[13:09] <fyrestrtr> mike: can you connect to the interner from the box?
[13:09] <b166er> black screen when just starting the installation from cd. suggestions ?
[13:09] <j__> N.O. can help?
[13:09] <mike> Hauwuei E620
[13:09] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: have you checked if the device is in the HCL?
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> b166er: use alternate installer
[13:10] <wols_> daleinchicago: what kind of modem is it? how is it connected to your PC?
[13:10] <mike> the windows PC is the gateway now - need to make the Ubuntu machine the gateway...
[13:10] <b166er> fyrestrtr: you sure ? meaning ... how is it different ?
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> mike: use the vodafone linux drivers.
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> b166er: no black screen :)
[13:10] <wols_> b166er: no GUI
[13:10] <gvsa123> does the synchronize with servers in the system clock really work?
[13:10] <b166er> fyrestrtr: heh ) n1
[13:10] <b166er> wols_: thx
[13:10] <mike> aha - they must be oin the disk, didn't think that through
[13:11] <wols_> h
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: they are not.
[13:11] <wols_> gvsa123: if you run ntp or ntpdate, it does
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: I use the E220 :)
[13:11] <j__> noone knows the name of the chess player installed on gutsy?
[13:11] <mike> ouch - internet?
[13:11] <daleinchicago> fyrestrtr: it's a standard (lucent) modem according to the scanmodem tool.  i tried the martian driver as well with no luck.
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: yes.
[13:11] <Slart> gvsa123: it does on my machine.. but I think I've added some servers of my own
[13:11] <mike> I'll try setting it up using e220
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: what release are you running?
[13:11] <gvsa123> wols_: i run that on the terminal?
[13:11] <wols_> daleinchicago: define "standard"
[13:11] <mike> thanks for the direction dude
[13:11] <wols_> gvsa123: ntp is daemon, ntpdate a program for the terminal
[13:12] <Slart> j__: I think it's gnu chess or eboard
[13:12] <gvsa123> Slart: it's off my 3 minutes and it never got synchronized
[13:12] <j__> merci
[13:12] <j__> checking
[13:12] <wols_> gvsa123: ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[13:12] <daleinchicago> fyrestrt:  7.10, wols: Agere chipset.  it's in an everex box (dumped gOS off of it)
[13:12] <fyrestrtr> mike: https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=11 <-- drivers for your E220
[13:12] <amitprakash> why doesnt ubuntu put ~/bin/ in my path??
[13:13] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: the restricted drivers manager should have picked it up if its supported.
[13:13] <gvsa123> wols_: 17 Dec 21:09:38 ntpdate[6674]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[13:13] <wols_> daleinchicago: you ran gOS on your modem? 1337!
[13:13] <bpssoft> Hello, I've a question about the setup of Ubuntu Server 6.06.1
[13:13] <fyrestrtr> amitprakash: ~/bin is not a standard linux path.
[13:13] <Slart> amitprakash: I don't think there is a ~/bin by default
[13:13] <pgdx> Hello. How can I change keymap to that of nb_NO ? I didn't do it in the install, and the folder /usr/share/keymaps is empty which means that I don't know how to find the correct keymap file. I want to use it with the loadkeys program
[13:14] <wols_> gvsa123: when you ran the ntpdate command I gave you?
[13:14] <bpssoft> My setup hangs on Vaildating dpkg
[13:14] <amitprakash> Slart, fyrestrtr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal states wrongly then >_<
[13:14] <bpssoft> How i can fix it?
[13:14] <wols_> pgdx: install locales
[13:14] <pgdx> wols_: thx
[13:14] <gvsa123> wols_: yeah... plus sudo
[13:14] <wols_> pgdx: ah, loadkeys. that's a bit different
[13:14] <daleinchicago> fyrestrtr:  that's what i thought, the scan tool identifies it just fine.  strange , eh?  maybe i should try an external foe S & Gs
[13:15] <Slart> amitprakash: hmm.. let me try
[13:15] <wols_> UB`: /usr/share/keymaps/ shouldn't be empty. it's part of console-tools-data  or such. you can check yia packages.ubuntu.com
[13:15] <RoAkSoAx> amitprakash, i think you will have to do something like... im not sure export $PATH:/home/$USER/bin
[13:15] <amitprakash> Slart, :)
[13:15] <Ximal> is there a dvd suite that allows you to setup folders etc ? like a dvd maker suite that let's u setup visual menu's for linux ? or err ubuntu ? that i can use on add/remove to grab ?
[13:15] <UB`> wols_ ?
[13:15] <amitprakash> RoAkSoAx, well i was just checking if an ubuntu site was giving the correct info
[13:15] <fyrestrtr> RoAkSoAx: close :) export PATH = /home/bin/:$PATH
[13:16] <b166er> Ximal: doubt it
[13:16] <wols_> gvsa123: running "ntpdate pool.ntp.org"? if so, use netstat if anything listens on the ntp port
[13:16] <pgdx> UB` that was to me
[13:16] <daleinchicago> bbl after trying another card....  Thanks Fyrestrtr & wols!
[13:16] <UB`> oh ok
[13:16] <Ximal> there's no visual studio ? for dvd making ?
[13:16] <Slart> amitprakash: nope..didn't put it in the path for me either
[13:16] <amitprakash> :)
[13:16] <wols_> Ximal: visual studio doesn't ever make DVDs
[13:17] <fyrestrtr> Ximal: you want to make dvd or dvd menus?
[13:17] <Hagg1> ikonia: that's true, that's why I get "Device busy" when I try to unmount it, but how do I install the nfs-kernel-server inside the chroot without involving  /proc (not autostart the service after install)?
[13:17] <Ximal> well i want to put a huge amount of mp3's on a dvd ..
[13:17] <Ximal> but i wanna make a visual menu for the dvd to use to decide which mp3 folder to play
[13:17] <Ximal> they're studies i've read and then recorded onto my pc
[13:18] <b166er> Ximal: your dvd player (the box itself) can browse folders
[13:18] <tchoul> slt
[13:18] <tchoul> salut
[13:18] <Ximal> i mean b166er : a dvd player for the tv :)
[13:18] <tchoul> y a klkun
[13:18] <gvsa123> wols_: by the output of ntpdate i assume the ports it was referring to were 6673 and 6674, but none of those appeared in netstat
[13:19] <gvsa123> wols_: oh wait... that was the i-node i was lookng at
[13:19] <bpssoft> How i can fix that my ubuntu server installaer hang on vailidating dpkg?
[13:19] <wols_> gvsa123: what makes you think those ports are related to NTP?
[13:20] <gvsa123> wols_: i dunno actually... lol.. because of this: 17 Dec 21:09:38 ntpdate[6674]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting?
[13:20] <gvsa123> wols_: :)
[13:20] <Hagg1> gvsa123: NTP-port is 123 (mostly UDP-traffic)
[13:20] <wols_> gvsa123: that's no inode either
[13:20] <wols_> it's a PID
[13:21] <gvsa123> :((
[13:21] <wols_> and that output you pasted isn't from ntpdate either
[13:21] <fyrestrtr> bpssoft: what is the exact message.
[13:21] <wols_> it's a log entry
[13:21] <girolamo> /echo ciao
[13:21] <gvsa123> Hagg1: so i do netstat on the terminal and look for anything with 123?

[13:24] <gvsa123> wols_: Hagg1: oh there you go... in network tools, netstat, active network services, there are connections to port/service 123
[13:24] <Hagg1> gvsa123: ohh.. the same problem as I have :P My clock goes one hour wrong and I'm using the correct timezone and ntpd to sync
[13:24]  * wols_ gives up on gvsa123

[13:24] <gvsa123> gvsa123 adjusts the clock manually... lol
[13:24] <me4u> and wmv

[13:25] <wols_> me4u: what videoplayer?
[13:25] <me4u> movie player
[13:25] <Hattori> auto is default, doc says
[13:25] <wols_> !info movie player
[13:25] <ubotu> Package movie does not exist in gutsy
[13:25] <gvsa123> wols_: the command was ntpdate pool.ntp.org?
[13:25] <wols_> me4u: see what ubotu said?
[13:25] <monkeyBox> Is there a command that will strip the first "x" lines and the last "y" lines from stdin?
[13:26] <wols_> monkeyBox: head/tail respectively
[13:26] <me4u> yes not sure what that means
[13:26] <me4u> new to ubuntu
[13:26]  * Hagg1 feeling alone with his nfsd-problem again :(
[13:26] <fyrestrtr> monkeyBox: sed if you need more tuning.
[13:26] <wols_> me4u: it means there is no such thing as "movie player"
[13:26] <monkeyBox> wols_,   head/tail only outputs the first/last x lines.   I need to cut out the first/last x lines.
[13:26] <fyrestrtr> me4u: means you need to type sudo apt-get install mplayer
[13:27] <fyrestrtr> monkeyBox: you want sed
[13:27] <me4u> I believe that's what I meant then

[13:28] <wols_> me4u: mplayer should play mpeg1 just fine. wmv you need w32codecs
[13:28] <Pici> me4u: 'Movie Player' on the application menu points to totem..
[13:28] <me4u> pici yes
[13:28] <crush_groove> Pici .. whats "points to totem" mean ?
[13:28] <amitprakash> Slart, i demand that the wiki be edited :D
[13:28] <me4u> ok thx dudes
[13:28] <wols_> crush_groove: it means under the label "movie player" there is the application totem normally
[13:28] <me4u> lemme install mplayer then
[13:28] <Ximal> crush_groove : get vlc from add/remove
[13:28] <Pici> crush_groove: I mean that the 'shortcut' on the Application menu points to toem.
[13:28] <Ximal> it works on just about all of my files ;)
[13:28] <Hagg1> Does anyone know how to install a package without autostarting th service?
[13:28] <Legendario> hi
[13:29] <crush_groove>  so mplayer isnt the app .. its a standin name .. the app is "totem'?
[13:29] <wols_> Hagg1: sure, remove the symlink that starts it
[13:29] <Slart> amitprakash: go again.. demand all you want.. =)
[13:29] <Legendario> does anyone know how to remove a note from openoffice writer?
[13:29] <wols_> crush_groove: mplayer and totem are different things and noth time it's the name for it
[13:29] <firekool> Hi I am trying to get my surround sound to work I just got a soundblaster audigy SE. Runing xfce and I followed this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=425098 to try to get it to work but it still won't
[13:29] <Ximal> hagg1 : whatever you download .. once the thing is installed .. you just need to do < sudo servicename stop >
[13:29] <Ximal> if you don't want it running..
[13:30] <wols_> Ximal: after the next bootup it will run again
[13:30] <Hagg1> wols_: But the symlink is created just before apt-get starts the newly installed service
[13:30] <Ximal> i know wols..
[13:30] <Legendario> does anyone know how to remove a note from openoffice writer?
[13:30] <Ximal> i just told him how to stop it..
[13:30] <crush_groove> ty wols Ximal  and Pici
[13:30] <Ximal> not how to keep it from working
[13:30] <wols_> Hagg1: then you need to compile the package yourself and change its postinst script...
[13:31] <gvsa123> Legendario: F5 then you should be able to see it there and delete it...
[13:31] <Hagg1> wols_: "# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server" and just after the installation is complete apt-get start the service
[13:31] <wols_> Hagg1: or check if apt/dpkg have an option for not doing postinst (you can always redo postinst later with dpkg-reconfigure)
[13:31] <wols_> Hagg1: and this is bad how?
[13:32] <girolamo> !italinao
[13:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about italinao - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:32] <girolamo> !italiano
[13:32] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[13:32] <Legendario> gvsa123 thanks a lot dude
[13:32] <gvsa123> Legendario: :)
[13:33] <Hagg1> wols_: nfd lock up my /proc and I can unmount /proc after the installation (and I have tried to stop the service manually before unmounting but without luck)
[13:33] <Legendario> gvsa123 it would be nice if we could just right click on it and choose delete, no?
[13:34] <wols_> Hagg1: locks up what?
[13:34] <Hagg1> wols_: #umount /proc" returns "Device busy" after the nfsd-installation
[13:34] <dadehoog> greetings
[13:34] <gavin> Hi everyone, Where can I get Vdrift for ubunut 7.04
[13:34] <Hagg1> wols_: Inside a chroot
[13:35] <gvsa123> Legendario: i think they have great plans for improving this.. but the target milestone is for 3.0. right now, you can delete it like any other character... i always place my notes at the end of a line... so hitting 'end' takes me to the space after the note and i can backspace to delete it like any other character
[13:35] <monkeyBox> Ok, I figured out how to delete the first N lines using sed:   sed '1,Nd',   but what about the last N lines?
[13:36] <Legendario> gvsa123 i couldn't delete it this way.
[13:36] <GSF1200S_> post it up capricori
[13:36] <capricori> GSF1200S_: hey :) so, you think ssh could kill X?
[13:36] <wols_> Hagg1: and why can't you stop nfs? also it will always need the /proc so why unmount  it?
[13:36] <Legendario> gvsa123 it was like the note were invisible...
[13:36] <nwonknu-> Hi
[13:36] <monkeyBox> I guess I could just pipe through sed '$d' twice, but seems a bit messy :-p
[13:37] <GSF1200S_> i dont have enough experience with ssh to answer that.. list your problem here, and see what they say
[13:37] <gvsa123> Legendario: oh... don't know about that... maybe you're not getting it's position right... but it should be deleted like a character... oh well.. just stick with F5 thingy then.. :)
[13:37] <capricori> kk. anyone got any idea why kubuntu would log out randomly?
[13:37] <Manolo8> hi to all. No audio while playing videos on Youtube. Any suggestion? Thanks.
[13:38] <dadehoog> capicori: sorry, ssh killing X ? or just ending a session ? XDCMP ..?
[13:38] <gvsa123> Manolo8: do you have flash installed?
[13:38] <Manolo8> gvsa123 yes
[13:38] <Legendario> gvsa123 this really worked so.
[13:38] <gvsa123> Manolo8: yeah i thought so coz you only mentioned audio
[13:38] <Hagg1> wols_: I can stop the servie and the stop-script retuns "[ OK ]" but /proc is still busy. I have to unmount /proc to be able to compile the squashfs-filesystem xcorrectly, as far as I know (it hangs on boot with /proc/nfsd-related problems
[13:39] <capricori> dadehoog: X keeps crashing, but I've noticed that it tends to happen while I'm using Amarok over ssh. Kinda new so you might have to speak slowly :) XDCMP?
[13:39] <GSF1200S_> hehe, since its kubuntu, it prolly should be the #kubuntu channel..
[13:39] <GSF1200S_> arggh...
[13:39] <capricori> GSF1200S_: hehe, musical channels :)
[13:39] <wols_> Hagg1: so what keeps /proc alive?
[13:39] <wols_> Hagg1: is your NFS kernel stuff a module?
[13:40] <Manolo8> gvsa123 that's the point... I also tried to install the alternative plugin GNASH but no way
[13:40] <dadehoog> capricori: when you say "crash", what exactly do you mean ? does the whole thing freeze and you have to reboot, or does X restart randomly and ask you to log in again ?
[13:40] <firekool> Hi I am trying to get my surround sound to work I just got a soundblaster audigy SE. Runing xfce and I followed this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=425098 to try to get it to work but it still won't
[13:40] <nwonknu-> you tell me
[13:40] <gvsa123> Manolo8: i really have no idea then ... sorry.. but your audio works with other stuff?
[13:40] <capricori> dadehoog: screen blanks out for a second, then I'm back at kdm
[13:41] <Hagg1> wols_: I don't know, I only executed "# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server" inside the chroot and after that /proc is busy
[13:41] <wols_> Hagg1: then check. and that package is no kernel module
[13:41] <dadehoog> capricori: Is there anything of interest appearing in System->Administration->System Log ?
[13:41] <Hagg1> wols_: Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit
[13:41] <wols_> Hagg1: that's not what I asked. I wouldjn't know how ubuntu compiles its kernel
[13:41] <Manolo8> gvsa123: works perfectly playing mp3, actually I suppose I get that flash problem after installing gstream-tools and executing a couple of commands following a tutorial
[13:42] <Hagg1> wols_: how do I check that?
[13:42] <capricori> dadehoog: I'm using KDE, don't have that :) been through some logs earlier and corrected a couple of things, still happening tho
[13:42] <wols_> Hagg1: by checking the kernel config file in /boot/
[13:42] <dadehoog> capricori: what about the X log ..?
[13:43] <ElementalBelief> sup guys/gals
[13:44] <wols_> capricori: check your xsession-errors file
[13:44] <capricori> dadehoog: couldn't honestly tell ya. someone else took a look earlier and found something relating to a TV, which I don't have connected
[13:44] <dadehoog> capicori: yeah, that's likely from the default configuration file ...
[13:44] <Hagg1> wols_: which file? /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic ?
[13:45] <ElementalBelief> is anyone having problems reading blank CD-Rs? I am going insane trying to figure out why after the last update in feisty and now in gutsy my drive isn't finding blank cd-rs but it finds blank dvds just fine
[13:45] <dadehoog> locate xsession-errors
[13:45] <dadehoog> whoops, wrong window ...
[13:45] <wols_> Hagg1: yes
[13:46] <capricori> wols_: theres nothing that sticks out to me, but then, I don't get most of it anyways
[13:46] <QuintinRSA> Uh, graphics card related help pls?
[13:47] <Hagg1> wols_: what än I looking for inside that file? I found "CONFIG_NFSD=m"
[13:47] <wols_> QuintinRSA: uh, proper problem description pls?
[13:47] <savvas00> QuintinRSA, what do you mean? just ask the question, someone will be able to answer it :)
[13:47] <QuintinRSA> Thanks, just wanted to get someones attention
[13:47] <wols_> Hagg1: sounds great. now check if the nfs server is laoded (lsmod)
[13:47] <QuintinRSA> I have an ATI Radeon Mobility M6LY... which driver?
[13:48] <savvas00> QuintinRSA, from the menu you should try System > administration > restricted drivers manager
[13:48] <Hagg1> wols_: # lsmod
[13:48] <Hagg1> Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[13:48] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: savvas00 is right, but try the open source "radeon" driver first ...
[13:48] <savvas00> oh i forgot about that :)
[13:49] <QuintinRSA> was on the ATI website no joy... Restricted drivers manager maintains I am fine, yet no OpenGL support
[13:49] <wols_> Hagg1: not in the chroot, duh!
[13:49] <wols_> QuintinRSA: radeon driver. everything below r300 isn't supprted by fgrlx
[13:49] <QuintinRSA> fgrlx?
[13:49] <syntaxineer> would anyone take a gamble at trying to get ubuntu to run on a PII 400Mhz ?
[13:49] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: the ATI-provided drivers
[13:49] <syntaxineer> 512MB ram
[13:50] <LjL> syntaxineer: no gamble... it would run.
[13:50] <QuintinRSA> ah thanks
[13:50] <wols_> QuintinRSA: irrelevant for you since it won't work with that chip
[13:50] <syntaxineer> nice
[13:50] <dadehoog> syntaxineer: it'll run, but not quite like greased lightning ... I've run it quite comfortably on a Duron 700, and currently have it running on a PIII-500
[13:50] <LjL> syntaxineer: quite, *quite* slowly will it run. but the 512MB will probably make it relatively usable
[13:50] <wols_> syntaxineer: fine. sometimes programs can react a bit sluggish but it will mostly run fine (just line firefox would on the same windows machine)
[13:50] <QuintinRSA> I get Compiz and Beryl to work nicely though, but as soon as I run a game it goes choppy
[13:50] <Hagg1> wols_: # lsmod | grep nfs
[13:50] <Hagg1> nfs                   272728  1
[13:50] <Hagg1> lockd                  76336  2 nfs
[13:50] <Hagg1> sunrpc                198536  3 nfs,lockd
[13:51] <QuintinRSA> never did under my old XP, but I re-installed XP and had same prob, reckoned it was drivers, but cannot find a driver
[13:51] <savvas00> !paste | Hagg1
[13:51] <Manolo8> hi to all. No audio while playing videos on Youtube. Ubuntu/Firefox. Any suggestion? Thanks.
[13:51] <ubotu> Hagg1: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[13:51] <wols_> Hagg1: check what uses the /proc in your chroot and stop it
[13:51] <ScorpFromHell> Manolo8, did you upgrade to Flash 9?
[13:51] <LjL> Manolo8: all i know is it isn't the first complain about no audio in Flash i've heard these days
[13:52] <ScorpFromHell> LjL, I had the same issue, but its gone since I upgraded to Flash 9
[13:52] <Hagg1> wols_: how do I chaeck that?
[13:52] <wols_> Hagg1: with lsof or fuser
[13:53] <Manolo8> ScorpFromHell: installed flash-nonfree from synaptic
[13:53] <wols_> Manolo8: start the browser from a terminal and check if it outputs any errors whil trying a youtube video
[13:53] <piovisqui> how can i rename a network interface????
[13:54] <Hagg1> wols_: lsof | grep nfs
[13:54] <Hagg1> rpc.statd 4426      statd  cwd       DIR                8,1     4096     131422 /var/lib/nfs
[13:54] <Manolo8> wols_ no errors
[13:54] <dadehoog> piovisqui: you mean from eth0 to something else ?
[13:54] <ScorpFromHell> Manolo8, try installing it from the binaries in macromedia site.
[13:54] <piovisqui> dadehoog yes
[13:54] <wols_> Hagg1: it's not locking var but /proc
[13:54] <Hagg1> wols_: but that is outside the root
[13:54] <|mo|> hello
[13:54] <wols_> and it might not be something to do with nfs directly
[13:54] <|mo|> :D
[13:54] <Hagg1> *chroot
[13:54] <piovisqui> [dadehoog]: yes
[13:54] <|mo|> I have a bit of a delima on my hands
[13:55] <dadehoog> piovisqui: you can't ... but it might be possible to setup an alias for the interface - why ?
[13:55] <|mo|> I have been trying to install ubuntu due to Windows crap failure ...
[13:55] <|mo|> that was for the past 30 hours
[13:55] <wols_> piovisqui: ifrename
[13:55] <|mo|> :D
[13:55] <wols_> dadehoog: you can. via udev
[13:55] <|mo|> the reason is NTFS
[13:55] <piovisqui> dadehoog: truly my problem is the interface loopback. ifconfig shows eth2 as loopback
[13:55] <dadehoog> wols_: indeed ! I am showing my age ! :P
[13:55] <|mo|> chkdsk /R /P'd it all night long
[13:56] <Hagg1> wols_: now I don't understand.. :S
[13:56] <|mo|> I cant install
[13:56] <|mo|> it would just say missing sectors off ntfs
[13:56] <|mo|> and run chkdsk
[13:56] <wols_> |mo|: that's fine but your windows troubles are not our ocncern. what is, however is your enter key misuse
[13:56] <hunteke> lols @ wols_
[13:57] <|mo|> Im not addressing windows problems
[13:57] <hunteke> :-)
[13:57] <gvsa123> lol
[13:57] <|mo|> im in linux now , but it wont understalll , my problem is not concerning windows ..
[13:57] <wols_> |mo|: all you talked was ntfs. so what IS your ubuntu problem?
[13:58] <|mo|> Im trying to install ubuntu on that ntfs partition
[13:58] <Hagg1> wols_: what does /var have to do with /proc ?
[13:58] <syntaxineer> so what would be an ideal CPU speed && Ram need to be for Ubuntu to be a test PHP server?
[13:58] <wols_> Hagg1: nothing?
[13:58] <dadehoog> syntaxineer: it's the pretty face that uses the big resources - I run a small Cyrix 200 machine as a PHP test server ...
[13:59] <|mo|> was there another method of repairing the partition ? or do you recommend formatting ?
[13:59] <wols_> syntaxineer: 2 terahertz at least and you don't need any ram cause everything needs to fit in L1 cache
[13:59] <Filled-void> |mo|, I dont think you can install on ntfs but I might be wrong ive never tried :x
[13:59] <wols_> |mo|: ntfs partition?
[13:59] <|mo|> yes
[13:59] <syntaxineer> dadehoog: wow cyrix. wow
[13:59] <firekool> can somone help me get my surround sound to work I have been searching and trying multiple fixes but none of them seam to work
[13:59] <Hagg1> wols_: so how do I check what is usinf /proc inside my chroot?
[13:59] <wols_> |mo|: ask ##windows not us.I told you again and again
[13:59] <syntaxineer> wols_: are u joking
[13:59] <Hagg1> *using
[13:59] <|mo|> I was trying to get the free space off it
[13:59] <firekool> or is there a surround sound card that will just work
[13:59] <|mo|> and starting ext3 and swap partition
[13:59] <QuintinRSA> uh, dumb question, where whould I find those open source radeon drivers?
[14:00]  * QuintinRSA frantically googles...
[14:00] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: good question ! they should already be installed, they're part of the X server
[14:00] <LjL> QuintinRSA: they're installed by default afaik
[14:00] <wols_> |mo|: and ntfsresize wouldn't work? do you know the harddisk is known good? e.g. no bad sectors?
[14:00] <dadehoog> lol wols_
[14:00] <wols_> QuintinRSA: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[14:00] <QuintinRSA> ah, then those are the ones I have... sigh... will have to go without opengl then...
[14:01] <|mo|> wols , doesnt seem like it at all , I booted dos and chkdsk'd all night
[14:01] <wols_> QuintinRSA: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:01] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: chances are your X server is using the "ati" (ie. no opengl) driver
[14:01] <|mo|> it shouldnt be any bad sectors left , it seems like it repaired it
[14:01] <wols_> |mo|: run a smartmontools long test
[14:01] <|mo|> I did the repairs about 5 times
[14:01] <firekool> can somone Please help me get my surround sound to work
[14:01] <QuintinRSA> wols_... reminds me, I tried that and now whenever Compiz is running my mouse wont work... right click zooms the desktop and left click takes a screenshot...
[14:01] <wols_> |mo|: when you run chkdsk now, does it still repair?
[14:02] <|mo|> yeah . it takes the same time as usual
[14:02] <wols_> QuintinRSA: tried _what_?
[14:02] <uncommon> hi.. anyone knows a good password .rar cracker for linux?
[14:02] <PriceChild> uncommon, ask whoever made the .rar
[14:02] <|mo|> "chkdsk /R"
[14:02] <Tyczek> Had anyone that problem? (ATI drivers)... Mplayer: XV(full screen- there is problem like no available rendering, so movie looks really bad). GL- it looks good but is skipping and slowing according to audio?
[14:02] <dmg46664> Is there a graphical client for mounting samba shares... I don't want to have to type anything like 'mount -t smbfs ...'
[14:02] <Tyczek> I really need solution ;/
[14:02] <QuintinRSA> wols-: uh...sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[14:02] <hunteke> hey, would this be the room to ask a few questions about upstart and Ubuntu, or would that be another room?
[14:02] <wols_> |mo|: answer my question please
[14:02] <ianthemoxious> hey everybody, new to linux and have a question.  I am having alot of trouble with flash on the net.  I installed the "non-free" adobe plugin for firefox and no luck getting it to work
[14:02] <dadehoog> dmg46664: Nautilus (the file manager) handles smb shares ...
[14:03] <wols_> QuintinRSA: that doesn't change mouse actions...
[14:03] <|mo|> I did wols
[14:03] <Dimatter> is it possible to change the keyboard layout while inside the text based installer ?
[14:03] <wols_> |mo|: no you did not
[14:03] <|mo|> it seemed like it repaired it every time
[14:03] <PriceChild> ianthemoxious, I think its currently broken atm I'm afraid, adobe updated their package... but ubuntu hasn't yet because it would break kde's browser.
 : i'ts my file.. dude... i just forgot the password i made.. when I was in college
[14:03] <Tyczek> ianthemoxious, wait
[14:03] <QuintinRSA> I know, found the same problem from other guys on ubuntu forums, they fixed it by disabling desktop effects...
[14:03] <|mo|> and every time it told me to run chkdsk
[14:03] <dmg46664> dadehoog: yeah, that's fine from within nautilus but programs like vlc can't then see the share which is an url which only nautilus understands e.g. smb://etc
[14:03] <PriceChild> uncommon, of course
[14:03] <BixBox> is beryl = compiz?
[14:03] <Tyczek> !flash
[14:03] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[14:04]  * Hagg1 don't like nfs anymore :(
[14:04] <Dimatter> is it possible to change the keyboard layout while inside the alternate-cd menu-like installer ?
[14:04] <firekool> can someone please help me get surround sound to work
[14:04] <wols_> |mo|: as long as chkdsk repairs something when its run there are still errors
[14:04] <bingk> BixBox:no
[14:04] <wols_> |mo|: there are no errors when chkdsk runs through without any repair/error/etc
[14:04] <savvas00> BixBox, compiz-fusion is included in ubuntu 7.10, beryl and compiz combined
[14:04] <dmg46664> dadehoog: so it actally does have to be mounted locally
[14:04] <me4u> wols I installed mplayer and now I'm getting a buffer error like mplayer app is starting multiple times at oince
 : dude i have rar password cracker but only for windows i was only lookin' for linux version...
[14:04] <|mo|> not really ,everytime is pretty much abit quicker
[14:04] <me4u> strill no video
[14:05] <|mo|> do you think i should chkdsk  it for another 5 times ?
[14:05] <PriceChild> uncommon, good for you.
[14:05] <pagenoare> hi
[14:05] <ianthemoxious> oh yeah.. I should mention that I am running 64-bit with the flash problem..
[14:05] <me4u> 'hello
[14:05] <pagenoare> anybody use epiphany?
[14:05] <Hagg1> BixBox: Beryl = CompizFusion, Compis is an old project, so as Beryl..they merged togeher and is now known as CompisFusion
 : do you think u can help by not being sarcastic or cynical?
[14:05] <dadehoog> dmg46664: there are samba GUIs ... but I'm a bit behind the play on that one ...
[14:05] <frojnd> how can I rename more than one file extension? rename *.asp *.html  ??? like this?
[14:05] <savvas00> uncommon, try learn bash scripting or use wine :)
[14:05] <BixBox> oic
[14:05] <|mo|> or was there a utility in ubuntu that can do more sector repairs ?
[14:05] <ScorpFromHell> am not able to connect through xdmcp from Windows using XMing, have enabled XDMCP in gdm.conf
[14:05] <wols_> |mo|: as I said before: this is not ##windows
[14:05] <mame> hello! I am using a laptop with a built in mic and well while the sound has always worked flawlessly I cant seem to get the mic to work. Any ideas?
[14:06] <BixBox> then can I use beryl themes, emerald?
[14:06] <|mo|> for gods sake , its not windows !!!!

[14:06] <wols_> |mo|: I told you before what to do in ubuntu. take it or leave it
[14:06] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: yep it is the "ati" driver
[14:06] <Tyczek> make those instructtnsio
[14:06] <|mo|> thanks wols ....
[14:06] <ijn> hi all:)
[14:06] <uncommon> savvas00 : i have wine though.. but i was just wondering if there any linux version...
[14:06] <ianthemoxious> thanks!
[14:06] <Filled-void> mame, Try alsamixer and check for anything muted
[14:06] <Tyczek> I had problem few minutes ago... i done it xD
[14:06] <wols_> |mo|: ntfs is very much a windows problem. all ubuntu can do is read and hopefully write it without breaking it
[14:06] <me4u> wols any other ideas on playing video?
[14:06] <firekool> Can somone please help me I can't seam to get my surround sound to work the instructions at http://www.halfgaar.net/surround-sound-in-linux tell me to edit /etc/asound.conf: but it is not there
[14:06] <pagenoare> anybody use epiphany?
[14:06] <uncommon> great community... with some stupid answer
[14:06] <ijn> in ubuntu where I can tell the sys not to load this module:pcspkr
[14:07] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dadehoog && gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:07] <wols_> me4u: why owuld it say you run it sevreal times if you don't actually do it. makes no sense
[14:07] <crush_groove> |mo| it sounds like you have done all the "checking" you need to. reformat the partiton and try reinstall.
[14:07] <|mo|> wols , I was not trying to install on NTFS , i was taking the free space off that parttion and make it a swap and a ext3
[14:07] <savvas00> ianthemoxious, you can't install there are some flash hints for 64-bit, I used the nspluginwrapper to get it working - the only thing left is a java plugin for mozilla firefox :P
[14:07] <wols_> me4u: what is the actual error message and what did you do to get it?
[14:07] <|mo|> so , Im never installing windows , never will again , and it doesnt boot on my pc
[14:07] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: scroll down to the "Driver" line and change it to read "radeon" instead of "ati"
[14:07] <mame> filled-void: I am installing that now and trying it out.
[14:07] <wols_> |mo|: so delete the partition and install ubuntu
[14:08] <savvas00> uncommon, I'm not aware of one, sorry
[14:08] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: then you'll need to save the file, exit gedit, and restart X. Simply logging in and logging out should do it.
[14:08] <crush_groove> |mo|,  what he said
[14:08] <dmg46664> Anyone know of any good samba mounting guis?
[14:08] <Filled-void> ianthemoxious, I run 64 bit and my flash works fine (at least the sites I use works) by installing flashplugin-nonfre
[14:08] <Dimatter> How to change the keyboard layout inside the alternatecd menu installer ? or what happens if i skip the new user creation ?
[14:08] <|mo|> thanks guys
[14:08] <mame> How can you tell what sound system your comp uses? I mean there is like OSS and ALSA and others right?
[14:08] <ijn> how can cancel this module (pcspkr) from being loaded
[14:08] <erUSUL> dadehoog: ati is a dummy driver that will load radeon for the hardware radeon supports and the old r128 for older cards (man ati) no need to change ati to radeon
[14:08] <Filled-void> mame, You can check the volumen control also and make sure you can see all channels by going into the Edit menu
[14:08] <dadehoog> Dimatter: if you skip the new user creation, you won't be able to log in once the system is installed until you've created a user.
[14:08] <wols_> Dimatter: you should be able to with loadkeys
[14:09] <erUSUL> ijn: blacklist it /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[14:09] <Filled-void> mame, System > Preferences >Sound
[14:09] <wols_> Dimatter: and without a user you will have a damn hard time logging in when you boot up
 : next time dude if you don't know the answer.. better shut your mouth... asshole
[14:09] <Dimatter> wols_: is there a default root password ? what's loadkeys ?
[14:09] <ijn> it means to add# before
[14:09] <ijn> ?
[14:09] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: hokay, did that... brb... *crosses thumbs*
[14:09] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: do you want the recovery command ..?
[14:09] <dadehoog> doh.
[14:09] <mame> Filled-Void: When I am under the System > Preferences >Sound area there is 4 "TEST" buttons
[14:09] <PriceChild> !guidelines | uncommon
[14:10] <ubotu> uncommon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:10] <wols_> loadkeys is a command. and on ubuntu there is no password for root so no one can log in as root
[14:10] <Dimatter> wols_: i selected english as main layout and russian phonetic for secondary ... the whole install i used russian-phonetic as main layout ... but now i cant create a user because it cant switch the damn layout :)
[14:10] <mame> Filled-Void all work find but the sound capture one.
[14:10] <Filled-void> mame, gstreamer error?
[14:10] <frojnd> mv *.asp *.htm   I'm trying to rename *.asp to *.html and than I get message: mv: end,*.html` not a directory ...
[14:10] <Tyczek> I've proble with mplayer with flgrx and video output ;/
[14:10] <crush_groove> good bot command to know PriceChild
[14:10] <wols_> Dimatter: what do you mean with "layout". you only have one keyboardmapping, not secondaries. keymapping is no locale
[14:10] <Filled-void> mame, I just got a power outage so dont be amazed if I log out :x
[14:11] <mame> filled-void: Right now its this error gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available.
[14:11] <Dimatter> wols_: well , mapping then ...
[14:11] <mame> filled-void: Earlier it was I think something else
[14:11] <Filled-void> mame, yeah I have that too but my mic works now
[14:11] <Dimatter> wols_:  nevermind ... gonna reinstall :(
[14:11] <Filled-void> mame, Onboard relatek or intel HDA?
[14:11] <Slart> frojnd: are you sure mv accepts wild-cards in both source and destination?
[14:12] <swisgard> is the freeglut3-dev package all i need for opengl development?
[14:12] <mame> Hmm I think reltek filled-void
[14:12] <frojnd> Slart, don't know..
[14:12] <frojnd> Slart, any other suggestions to rename files with wildcards ?
[14:12] <mame> filled-void: When I try to open the basic "Audio-Capture" Utility it says to check my sound settings
[14:13] <Filled-void> mame, I had the same problem with ALC662 chipset. www.filledvoid.com check multimedia issues read the references and the other threads before trying anythign in it
[14:13] <Filled-void> mame, ups dead brb
[14:13] <Slart> frojnd: I'd do something like this "for a in $(ls *.asp); do mv $a $a.html; done" it will turn mypage.asp into mypage.asp.html... you can probably tweak that into what you want
[14:13] <liquidfiree> yay i solved my first problem, by myself o/
[14:13] <liquidfiree> or well my first solvable problem
[14:13] <liquidfiree> makes sense doesn't it :P
[14:13] <Slart> frojnd: and there are applications available for doing renames
[14:14] <Slart> frojnd: gwenrename is one
[14:14] <Slart> !info gwenrename
[14:14] <ubotu> gwenrename: Batch renamer tool for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1~beta1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 111 kB, installed size 548 kB
[14:14] <crush_groove>  does each piece of hardware have its own chipset or is the chipset in the processor?
[14:15] <x9x> hello. ubuntu on my other computer have locked up or something.... I can move the mouse, but nothing happens when I click on anything. what shall I do?
[14:15] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: any joy ?
[14:15] <x9x> ctrl-alt-delete don't do anything either
[14:16] <QuintinRSA> Dadehoog: Nope... I enabled "Desktop Effects" and my mouse wont work... had to boot into KDE
[14:16] <Sisco> help me test my telnet/raw server please #sisco (much appreciated)
[14:16] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: right ... so it loaded fine - until "Desktop Effects" ?
[14:17] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: yep...I had that problem ever since I ran DPKG Reconfigure X... right mouse zoomed in, left mouse takes screenshot
[14:17] <QuintinRSA> but without Desktop Effects everything was fine...
[14:18] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: was OpenGL support working ?
[14:18] <Slart> frojnd: second try  "for a in $(ls *.asp | cut -d . -f 1); do mv $a.asp $a.html; done"  this ought to work
[14:18] <sdakak> i am trying to connect a nokia 2630 to my system via a usb cable. now i need to know on which usb port it runs? how do i find the devices running on each usb port?
[14:18] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: eg. glxgears ?
[14:18] <QuintinRSA> Dadehoog: Uh... nope... I have a game I test it with and it did not even go in... which it did before...
[14:19] <simplyubuntu> hello all
[14:19] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: bummer. Well, to revert back to the old driver ... just run: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dadehoog //etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:19] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: but no worries, seems I might need to re-install in order to fix everything... am still learning (after a year(!)) anyhow
[14:20] <simplyubuntu> can anyone tell me how to view active print jobs in gutsy
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: thanks a stack anyways...
[14:20] <dadehoog> err, lose a "/" before "/etc"
[14:20] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: no worries - I think the issues are unrelated though
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: haha I see that
[14:20] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: lpq
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: Yep.. cyal8r
[14:20] <dadehoog> cheers
[14:20] <sdakak> how to find which devices run on which ports?
[14:21] <simplyubuntu> sdakak, lpq?
[14:21] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: put that in the terminal
[14:21] <wols_> sdakak: nestat
[14:21] <simplyubuntu> sdakak it says no destination available
[14:22] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: maybe you didnt setup the printer in the first place
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> sdakak i just want to view active print jobs and/or cancel them
[14:22] <erUSUL> sdakak: you question does not make much sense... what are you trying to do with the cell phone? use it as modem?
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> oh trust me its set up. it doesnt stop printing
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> !
[14:23] <sdakak> erUSUL: whatever is possible. i mainly need to browse, use phonebook, transfer pictures, sms, call
[14:23] <ijn> hi all
[14:23] <sdakak> erUSUL: a rush through the package manager told me 'wammu' could do that. so i installed it
[14:24] <Slart> simplyubuntu: I thought you got a small icon in the task tray thingy when you were printing.. I might be wrong though.. can't you open the printer in System, administraion, printing?

[14:24] <simplyubuntu> Slart the jobs were initiated from another account, and im the root user
[14:24] <sdakak> wols_: nestat:command not found, and no package exists of a similar name
[14:24] <ijn> right now when pressed it shutdown the sys
[14:24] <ijn> without asking
[14:24] <sdakak> erUSUL: ?
[14:25] <simplyubuntu> and system admin printing gives no option to see actve jobs
[14:25] <ijn> any idea??

[14:26] <Dark1> Hi, Is it normal for my second day with linux not to be able to properly install ati drivers or I am retarted?
[14:26] <ijn> without asking
[14:26] <Slart> Dark1: that's normal.. ati drivers can be weird =)
[14:26] <erUSUL> sdakak: i asked becouswe cell phones (at least mine) when plugged as modems show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 (or ACM0) and when plugged in storage mode they show the memmory card... never tried to manage address book from ubuntu
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: check the bios for power button options
[14:26] <dadehoog> Dark1: "retarded"? I'd say that ATI's driver support (if you mean fglrx) is odd.
[14:26] <Dark1> I was hoping I was retarted... I love my ati card :(
[14:27] <ijn> Jack:how can I do that??
[14:27]  * Dr_willis sends Dark1  in for Therapy.
[14:27] <Dr_willis> :)
[14:27] <sdakak> erUSUL: i am stuck :(
[14:27] <simplyubuntu> i see

[14:27] <cappiz> Someone knows how i cant get my local desktop working with vnc... starting it from shell?
[14:27] <simplyubuntu> thanks Slart ill go to the other account and see if i can cancel from there.
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: when you power up... usually hit the delete or escape keys
[14:27] <ijn> Jcak can you guide me???
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: no.. you are on your own...
[14:27] <Slart> simplyubuntu: do that
[14:28] <ijn> oh you mean bios pc
[14:28] <ijn> yeah I know but what I can do in there?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[14:28] <sdakak> erUSUL: how should i find out on which usb port the phone is running
[14:28] <ijn> I think is more some twaeking in file sys of ubuntu?? no.
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: If the power button is set to "Turn off NOW" that is what cutting the power will do.
[14:29] <erUSUL> sdakak: 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' on a terminal and then plugg the phone on the usb port
[14:29] <ijn> yes for now
[14:29] <erUSUL> sdakak: whatch the messages printed on the log for clues
[14:30] <ijn> is there any way to set it to ask before taking any action
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: Since you wont listen... NO
[14:30] <ijn> I'd like to have the window with options
[14:31] <sdakak> erUSUL: it says ttyUSB0, but when i key that in in 'wammu' it says no phone detected
[14:31] <kane77> how can I "detach" process from terminal? because every time i run process in terminal and even if I put it to background when I close the terminal it terminates the program I ran...
[14:31] <ijn> ok so you are saying that button is set up in bios??
[14:31] <ijn> im in dual boot with xp
[14:31] <ijn> so ??
[14:31] <Slart> kane77: run it with alt-f2 instead
[14:32] <ijn> can't go very time in bios and change the action of power button
[14:32] <kane77> Slart, but is it possible to detach it?
[14:32] <erUSUL> sdakak: i've never used wammu so i can not help you further
[14:32] <Slart> kane77: there is probably a more geeky way of doing it on the command line.. but I don't know it..  =)
[14:32] <ijn> ok JACK thanks anyway
[14:33] <erUSUL> kane77: man nohup or use screen and dettach the screen session
[14:33] <RdWings19> is linux-wlan-ng included on the regular live CD?
[14:33] <crush_groove> kane77,  session/newshell will show you the detach option in dropdown . you have to have 2 running to detach 1
[14:34] <k3ito> does the keyring manager use gnupg?  and if not why not?  i see gnupg is already installed on my feisty system as default

[14:34] <erUSUL> !vnc
[14:34] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX

[14:35] <k3ito> Chris_Were: what with
[14:35] <Chris_Were> my minupdate says that it cannot refresh the list of packages. any ideas?
[14:36] <Pici> Chris_Were: This is the Ubuntu support channel, not the Mint support channel. You'll have to look for their channel for support.
[14:36] <kane77> erUSUL, and one more question, how can I have program running without it's output outputing into terminal?
[14:36] <Slart> Chris_Were: This is the ubuntu support channel... I think most people here run .. ubuntu. don't linux Mint have their own support?
[14:36] <Chris_Were> there's no-one on the mint support channel
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Chris_Were: there are similarities with Ubuntu and mint.. is the question general then ask it
[14:36] <Pici> !offtopic
[14:36] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:36] <erUSUL> kane77: redirect output to /dev/null for example
[14:36] <Chris_Were> the questions about the mint update feature
[14:36] <Slart> kane77: I would say either redirect output to dev/null or run it using alt-f2.. again =)

[14:41] <threefcata> 有没有什么可以改变窗口大小的X下的终端？
[14:41] <Pici> !cn | threefcata
[14:41] <ubotu> threefcata: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[14:41] <k3ito> does the keyring manager use gnupg?  and if not why not?  i see gnupg is already installed on my feisty system as default
[14:42] <threefcata> oh sorry thought i was on that channel
[14:42] <Slart> kane77: found another way.. sudo -b runs stuff in the background.. so if I run "sudo -u slart -b gedit" I can close the terminal and gedit will still be running..
[14:43] <kane77> Slart, cool, that's exactly what I want.. thank you
[14:43] <Slart> kane77: you're welcome
[14:43] <Dr_willis> Slart,  when closing the terminal also. using the 'exit' command and NOT just hitting the X button.  is a good idea
[14:44] <Dr_willis> I think the X button sends some sort of signal. exit lets the other apps spawn to the background nicely.
[14:44] <Slart> Dr_willis: oh.. what would be the difference? the X just kills the process?
[14:44] <Slart> ah.. ok.. good to know
[14:44] <Dr_willis> Try it and see. :)
[14:44] <Dr_willis> I just rember this from using Linux for the last few years.
[14:45] <Dr_willis> wonder how nohup relates to this also.
[14:45] <Dr_willis> well bbl.
[14:45] <Slart> wow.. typing exit lets gedit keep running.. very nice
[14:45] <Dr_willis> Yep. :)
[14:45] <Slart> nuhup just makes the process ignore signals I think
[14:45] <Dr_willis> so the moral of the story is.. if using background jobs and such - get in a habbit of using exit command.
[14:46] <Slart> kane77: you read that, right?

[14:51] <ubotu> To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard !kernel, install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see !blacklist
[14:52] <crush_groove> !blacklist
[14:52] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[14:52] <crush_groove> why would you blacklist a module ? arent all modules necessary to some function ?

[15:31] <PPreda> Jack_Sparrow: do not even know what those are

[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> PPreda: Both are really bad ideas...  no I dont know how to fix a partial upgrade.. others here might

[15:32] <Apocalypse_dn> Can i update to 7.10  from mounted .iso file?
[15:32] <c-master> hello
[15:33] <PPreda> so what is a good idea to check the system,  I was thinking for a all packages reconfigure either way to be sure
[15:33] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, if you have decent bandwidth, it'd be much simpler to upgrade from the net
[15:33] <PPreda> just did not know the command
[15:33] <ekimus> Apocalypse_dn: I remember there was a link on the ubuntu.com/ mainpage how to update from the alternate cd. So basically I guess yes (if you find that link again) :)
[15:33] <wirechief> PPreda: try
[15:33] <wirechief> dpkg --configure -a
[15:33] <wirechief> # apt-get install -f
[15:33] <wirechief> # apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:33] <Apocalypse_dn> nickrud, i know, i asked about upgrade without buring cd
[15:33] <MeeKs> if i format a hard drive in os x will ubuntu be able to read and write to it?
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> PPreda: I guess we can assume you didnt have a backup to go back and start over from where you were
[15:34] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, the method I mentioned is without the cd
[15:34] <Apocalypse_dn> By mounted .iso file
[15:34] <pike_> PPreda: id just do all. i really think synaptic should maybe touch a file before it starts a distupgrade and then check for that file if it doesnt remove it after a successful one but... maybe they have reasons for not doing that
[15:34] <erUSUL> Apocalypse_dn: i think that it should work. run the script from the mounted alternate cd iso
[15:34] <Pici> Apocalypse_dn: You can only upgrade if you have the alternate cd mounted, not the regular Desktop CD.
[15:34] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, no problem, just wasn't sure if you had considered it
[15:34] <PPreda> wirechief: this sounds even better, thanks for all the advices

[15:52] <dogdog> #ubuntu.it
[15:52] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: I've also tried installing xubuntu and it worked fine with my display
[15:52] <alexbOrsova> but I had other problems with that install which is why I've switched over to ubuntu
[15:52] <TopoMorto> coluld someone tell me how i can make gvim darkblue color-scheme the default setting?
[15:52] <Bubulle> digitalspaghetti, xhtml2ps
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: So you can get to recovery mode and startx and get in... have youtried selecting vesa mode and 1024 max when you reconfigure?
[15:53] <creepindacellar> gotcha properties works thanks
[15:53] <alexbOrsova> yes, but I have to guess on the other options because I don't know what I'm doing...
[15:53] <alexbOrsova> which is why that doesn't work (it asks for things like PCI bus and so on)
[15:53] <PPreda> goodbye all and thank you very much
[15:54] <Greg> hi i have a problem
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: USe the pastebin to post your xorg then post the link to it in here..
[15:54] <alexbOrsova> where is the pastebin again?
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste
[15:54] <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)
[15:54] <pike_> alexbOrsova: for most of that stuff you can just enter through for default settings you technically only need to choose the driver
[15:55] <pike_> alexbOrsova: of course you can lspci -v to get the bus if you want
[15:55] <alexbOrsova> i didn't know that...
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Accepting the defaults works for most situations
[15:56] <alexbOrsova> when I startx there's an icon for restricted drivers, should I try that?
[15:56] <fizzle> alexanderwz sure
[15:56] <fizzle> what kind of card?
[15:57] <alexbOrsova> nvidia 6150 go (i think)
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: 6600 here..
[15:57] <fizzle> lspci | grep nvidia
[15:57] <fizzle> err
[15:57] <Marfi> whenever i do some updates, apt-get wants me to put in the ubuntu disk...how do i disable this?
[15:57] <fizzle> lspci | grep NVidia
[15:57] <alexbOrsova> one sec
[15:57] <KyleS-work> go to "software sources"
[15:57] <Marfi> is it something in sources.lst?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Marfi: disable the cd in your sources.list
[15:57] <KyleS-work> under applications I think
[15:57] <fizzle> Marfi i dont use ubuntu, but you need to change your sources
[15:57] <KyleS-work> or
[15:58] <KyleS-work> vim /etc/apt/source.lst
[15:58] <KyleS-work> or vi or nano
[15:58] <KyleS-work> whatever you prefer
[15:58] <erUSUL> Marfi: System>Admin>Software sources
[15:58] <staticfish> hey guys
[15:58] <staticfish> I have a slight conundrum
[15:58] <erUSUL> Marfi: disable the CD

[15:58] <nano__> asl
[15:58] <alexbOrsova> by nvidia
[15:58] <Marfi> i think i got it, thanks yall!
[15:59] <Marfi> it was getting very annoying. =)
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:59] <staticfish> do I stick with the default slower graphics driver, but have all visual effects working, thought crap fonts, OR do i install FGLRX and install the XSERVER-XGL package and have it take an age to show the desktop at bootup
[15:59] <alexbOrsova> how do you mount thumbdrives again? cli
[15:59] <alexbOrsova> is it /dev/usb something

[16:00] <lewis> Hey there. Anyone know how to install my wireless on my laptop through Ubuntu?
[16:00] <fizzle> alexbOrsova for your nvidia driver, i think you need to install ythe restricted drivers
[16:00] <fizzle> i dont use ubuntu strictly because i couldnt get my nvidia drivers working because im too damned lazy to learn how
[16:00] <fizzle> :)
[16:00] <staticfish> thanks jack_sparrow, are there any tips out there to get fglrx working really nicely?
[16:00] <alexbOrsova> the thing is, when I had xubuntu working, i did that and thn I ran into the same problem
[16:01] <alexbOrsova> *then
[16:01] <pike_> lewis: alot of times itll just work. it depends on the wireless card

[16:09] <PJC> hi guys, i need a little help with install Ubuntu Gutsy on a Presario r3000 amd laptop, after initial loading screens the display goes black and fails to show anything, but the system loads as normal, this is via the live-cd
[16:09] <PJC> I'm guessing its driver problem with the Geforce go chipset
[16:09] <alexbOrsova> PJC: have you tried the vga=771 boot option
[16:10] <alexbOrsova> it helped me when using xubuntu live cd
[16:10] <PJC> no alexbOrsova, how would I go about that, is it via the boot menu
[16:10] <css> Jack_Sparrow: I want to install irda-utils with apt-get from konsole on any mirror the file is giving at unpaking an 127 eror I have tried to force install and nothing same trouble
[16:10] <alexbOrsova> PJC: i think I may have the same problem, what model card do you have?
[16:10] <PJC> thats the thing, kubuntu loads and installs fine via the kubuntu live-cd
[16:10] <hardeep> hello all
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> css: That did not answer my question but thanks..
[16:11] <alexbOrsova> PJC: select 'Start or Install" and press F6, then delete the 'splash --' and type 'vga=771' then press enter
[16:11] <hardeep> is there any reason that when I edit motd file, it reverts to old version upon restart of the machine
[16:11] <mattwalston> how come firefox does nut detect my plugin on ubuntu only?  I have not had this problem on other distros
[16:11] <alexbOrsova> in the live cd menu
[16:11] <tarjei_> Can anyone help me with setting up  my MX518 mouse? I can't understand the forum help, this is so frustrating I must use XP instead of Ubuntu now.
[16:11] <Marfi> mattwalston, what plugin?
[16:11] <PJC> ok, I'll give it a go alexbOrsova , brb :)
[16:12] <mattwalston> Marfi: npica.so it is the citrix client
[16:12] <alexbOrsova> how come I can do startx from the cli and x works, but when I load the default option in grub I get a blank screen?
[16:12] <mattwalston> Marfi: should be able to just copy to firefox/plugin?
[16:12] <betim--> any ideas how to limit download in apt?
[16:13] <Marfi> mattwalston, i think there is somethign that has to be changed in order for the plugin to work. i tried doing that with the flash plugin (since theres a problem with the repos) but didn't work. if it comes as a .tar.gz, it should have an install script that came with hit. =)

[16:15] <maxsoft> hi all. some one from USA ?
[16:15] <graabein> hello, where do i find installed icons on the file system?
[16:15] <kevinl> when I connect my ipod, I want gtkpod to launch, not rythymbox, hwo to change please?
[16:15] <maxsoft> :) I like to know wich filesharing software do you usually use.
[16:15] <PJC> alexbOrsova: I see, well I'm trying it now, in the process of booting
[16:15] <kevinl> graabein, they are generally under /usr/share .. in icons or pixmaps directory, though some apps make their own directories
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65471&highlight=mx518
[16:16] <graabein> kevinl: it looks pretty empty to me... i'm on gutsy
[16:16] <kevinl> graabein, you can use: sudo updatedb; slocate '.xpm'  for example
[16:16] <kevinl> to find .xpm icons on your hard drive
[16:16] <graabein> kevinl: btw have you looked at system > preferred applications for audio player?
[16:16] <kevinl> or .ico instead of .xpm .. or whatever the file ext you look for.
[16:17] <frojnd> would anyone know, where to set bluefish, so utf-8 encodig will be supported ?
[16:17] <frojnd> od does anyone know any GUI html editors ?
[16:17] <kevinl> my preferred apps thing on feisty only has browser, terminal etc.. nothing for media or ipods :)
[16:17] <mattwalston> fronjnd: gvim
[16:18] <PJC> alexbOrsova: I get a split second display of the background and then, black, any other suggestions?
[16:18] <tyczek> Wrrr... Installed Ati drivers from site... than made aticonfig --initial... I opened movie in mplayer (XV- it looks really bad) i added video overlay, but nothing helped.

It's my xorg http://wklej.org/id/81d4a0fa7c  and this how movie looks on Full screen (crappy) http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4887/zrzutekranurw3.png
[16:18] <alexbOrsova> i guess that doesn't work for you
[16:18] <mattwalston> frojnd: be careful what you ask for... not all gui is wysiwyg
[16:18] <jaggz-> I broke my python:   python2.4-dev depends on python2.4 (= 2.4.1-0ubuntu0.2); however:
[16:18] <jaggz->   Version of python2.4 on system is 2.4.2-1ubuntu0.2.
[16:18] <alexbOrsova> what graphics card do you have?
[16:18] <kevinl> what "makes" rythymbox load when you connect an ipod? gnome-vfs ? hald? is there a configuration file for this somewhere
[16:19] <PJC> alexbOrsova: the Video Card is an NVidia GeForce4 440 Go 64 DDR

[16:19] <jaggz-> wha tdo I do to rectify my python to a working version?  :(
[16:20] <alexbOrsova> have you actually managed to install a version of ubuntu on your laptop?
[16:20] <PJC> its a couple of years old now this machine
[16:20] <PJC> not ubuntu, but kubuntu works fine
[16:20] <jaggz-> aptitude now wants to remove a ton of packages, being unused because python2.4 is dead.
[16:20] <alexbOrsova> is that installed on it right now?
[16:20] <Pici> jaggz-: How did you manage to do that?
[16:20] <graabein> kevinl: i found the icons, they're in ~/.icons :-)

[16:20] <alexbOrsova> does that work?
[16:21] <aximboy> anyone know why firefox and swiftfox are incredibly slow at switching tabs
[16:21] <frojnd> mattwalston, do u know how to set encoding to utf-8 in bluefish ?
[16:21] <alexbOrsova> does your openSuSE installation work?
[16:21] <PJC> yep alexbOrsova, I'm guessing its something to do with the drivers, or lack of them, that Ubuntu gutsy ships with
[16:22] <jaggz-> pici, I was trying to install python2.4-dev but it would not go in.. then there was a version conflict.. so I had to download the package and install it by hand.. I did go to a 1ubuntu0.2 instead of 0ubuntu0.2 version.. (I didn't force or ignore anything either)
[16:22] <alexbOrsova> can you boot into it please, i want to see your xorg.conf file

[16:23] <alexbOrsova> what were you doing when you pressed the power button? (I have to try that :)
[16:23] <Pici> jaggz-: What version of Ubuntu are you running? I presume you dont have internet access on that machine?
[16:24] <PJC> when I run the install alexbOrsova, did the display right itself?  nothing lol, just pressed it to do a forced shut down, and on the first press, up pops the desktop lol

[16:32] <scout_> hey y'aææ
[16:32] <staticfish> do you know the repo package to install that enables all of the compilation libraries. i have make working, but ./configure doesn't
[16:32] <alexbOrsova> huh, Xubuntu ran ok for me but I ran into the same problem when I installed the restricted drivers. Now ubuntu doesn't even work with the open source drivers
[16:32] <scout_> y'all*
[16:32] <bazhang> hi scout_
[16:32] <pike_> staticfish: build-essential
[16:32] <aximboy> i think my problem bazhang, is that bluetooth-applet will not run
[16:32] <scout_> is there a way for me, in a bash script of something, to start programs in a specific workspace
[16:32] <PJC> alexbOrsova: its a strange beast eh?
[16:32] <Pici> !devilspie | scout_
[16:32] <ubotu> scout_: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning.  Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie
[16:33] <jaggz-> pici, no.. it's not here...
[16:33] <alexbOrsova> laptop + linux = hours of fun :)
[16:33] <bazhang> aximboy: did you check that howto?
[16:33] <staticfish> cheers guys
[16:33] <pike_> staticfish: well.. i mean youi need to grad the appropriate dev package too and i dont know if there is a metapackage for all those
[16:33] <scout_> Pici, that doesn't work, i've just tried
[16:33] <jaggz-> apt-get -f install python2.4            python2.4: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu15 is to be installed
[16:33] <staticfish> i'm pretty sure build-essential will do it ;)
[16:33] <PJC> alexbOrsova: no doubt about that lol, anything that is soldered on = trouble
[16:33] <brobostigon> aximboy: is the gnome topbat applet turned on in the bluetooth prefs??
[16:33] <crush_groove> -f = force ?
[16:33] <scout_> Pici, i'm using compiz fusion with emerald as a window decorator, so i think that has something to with it
[16:33] <Pici> scout_: most likely.
[16:33] <jaggz-> fix-?
[16:33] <brobostigon> gnome topbar
[16:34] <alexbOrsova> well, at least linux recognizes my built-in webcam. Now i have o work on getting it to work with my hard disk and laptop screen :)
[16:34] <alexbOrsova> *to
[16:34] <aximboy> yeah, i checked "always display icon"
[16:34] <aximboy> but it won't show up
[16:34] <Pici> jaggz-: I'm surprised you can even do any apt functions.  They usually take the repositories offline after EOL.
[16:34] <PJC> lol, mine works well on the asus eee too, with kubuntu
[16:34] <scout_> so my question is if i could create a script that i could run, most likely a .sh script, that specified where the programs start
[16:34] <Pici> scout_: you might be able to find some help in #compiz-fusion for this.
[16:35] <scout_> isn't there a bash command for such things ?
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> you're using the asus eee pc?
[16:35] <frojnd> would anyone know where can I set encoding in gedit ??
[16:35] <scout_> Pici, yeah you might be right :) i'll check it out :)
[16:35] <PJC> no, not now, but i have one
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> i considered buying that...
[16:35] <PJC> its a great little bit of kit
[16:35] <Silvister> in giving ssh accounts to my pc users...how to restrict access to one directory and give installing rights (with protecting the file system)
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> but I went with the $1000 hp pavilion entertainment pc
[16:35] <pike_> scout_: chdir maybe?
[16:35] <bazhang> alexbOrsova: join #eeepc :}
[16:36] <PJC> gamer alexbOrsova?
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> no, hacker...
[16:36] <PJC> lol
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> just kidding :)
[16:36] <jaggz-> pici, I updated my sources to use (just the first part of) http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/
[16:36] <scout_> pike_, doesn't that just change the directory in the commandline like cd ?
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> I am a gamer, but I wanted a tablet pc to do my programming on...
[16:37] <PJC> makes sense
[16:37] <SpookyET> How do you get compiz fusion to work with AIGLX and ATI? It does work with XGL.
[16:37] <alexbOrsova> they should have had a warning sticker on it: "Doesn't mix with Ubuntu"
[16:37] <pike_> Silvister: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian  <-- if thats what youre looking for
[16:37] <frojnd> would anyone know where can I set encoding in gedit ?? I really need to set encoding..
[16:37] <VSpike> Pici, i saw that mentioned and assumed it was meant to be a torrent search because it never returns anything
[16:37] <brendonhatcher> can someone help me with upgrading to 7.10?
[16:37] <PJC> lol, being so hardware fixed, the eee has plenty of support and guides on installation of ubuntu etc
[16:37] <alexbOrsova> If i can't get Ubuntu to work, I'm stuck with vista
[16:38] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: by the net or fresh install?
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> which will be even more fun
[16:38] <bazhang> alexbOrsova: stick with us then :}
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: It works, with vesa..
[16:38] <pike_> scout_: no chdir means change working directory
[16:38] <PJC>  I have a dual boot of Vista on this pc, but never bothered to fix grub to pick it up lol
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> you're not helping bazhang
[16:38] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? and i'm missing the spotlight type icon
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> Jack: what does?
[16:38] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - I installed 7.04, and am now trying to do the server-based update
[16:39] <pike_> scout_: but its different than cd /newdir/  then run i guess
[16:39] <Silvister> pike_ thx    i just wanted to see how shell provider do (for eggdrops)
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Your setup...   did you ever post your xorg?
[16:39] <PJC> OoOOOOooo 71%
[16:39] <alexbOrsova> dude, I had to fix grub, it mistook my recovery partition as vista :)
[16:39] <brendonhatcher> the documentation says that it will automatically prompt me for update to 7.10, but it 8isn't
[16:39] <scout_> pike_, when i look for chdir on the net it just finds the chdir that has the same functions as cd
[16:39] <PJC> lol alex
[16:39] <alexbOrsova> no, I can't figure out how. I don't have internet and can't mount my thumbdrive
[16:40] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? Also i can pair a device but my lappy won't show up when I try to send a file
[16:40] <PJC> i've always had problems with mounting thumbdrives, its one area that needs looking at in linux as a whole i think
[16:40] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: how do you mount thumbdrives?
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: I thought you said you could get into recovery mode and startx
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[16:40] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[16:40] <alexbOrsova> yes, but that doesn't mean I'm a master with 'mount'
[16:41] <alexbOrsova> oh, ok... hold on
[16:41] <alexbOrsova> i don't have GParted installed
[16:41] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - you still there?
[16:41] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: server-based update? you're using the server version?
[16:42] <alexbOrsova> should I just add an entry in my fstab file?
[16:42] <brendonhatcher> no - going to system / administration / update manager
[16:42] <PJC> no desktop lol
[16:42] <alexbOrsova> !fstab
[16:42] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[16:43] <dmacnutt> !rsync
[16:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:43] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? (i have already checked the box in bluetooth preferences)
[16:43] <adelie> This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to run an LTSP Server WITHOUT DHCP? I am in a classroom with a computer that is very old and want it to be a thin client to a much more powerful machine in the room, but without the need of a second nic on the host. Is there a way to configure the clients bootloader (rather than traditional network boot) to get the image from the host?
[16:43] <alexbOrsova> what do you mean PJC?
[16:43] <PJC> sorry alex, was just a blip, ticking along smoothly again
[16:44] <alexbOrsova> damn it, why does your install work? :(
[16:44] <PJC> lol, I'll wait for the after install reboot before I say it works
[16:44] <alexbOrsova> oh, sorry
[16:44] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading brendonhatcher--assuming you are using desktop version of 7.04
[16:44] <jaggz-> apt-get -f install python2.4            python2.4: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu15 is to be installed       Depends: libdb4.3 (>= 4.3.28-1) but 4.3.21-11 is to be installed
[16:44] <jaggz-> I've gotta fix this somehow
[16:45] <ipx> I got a bunch of .tga-files that I want to use to make a simple .avi-movie with (a q3-clip) but I cannot find any videomaker that can import pictures and make em a movie? :/

[16:45] <m0pr00t> hi guyz.. i need a tarball for installing broadcom wifi driver 4312/g. because i cant use the wifi from my ubuntu gusty laptop
[16:45] <Hippotamus> I tried the 7.10 Gutsy Live CD, and my PC couldnt read the DVDmovie I put in the second reader/writer... is this just because it's Live CD, or general problem?
[16:45] <adelie> Is it possible for an LTSP server and client be parallel on a network? (versus the client wired through the host)
[16:45] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - yes, following instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[16:45] <bazhang> Hippotamus: because the libdvdcss2 is not installed
[16:46] <Silvister> do i need open-ssh to let others ssh acces on my pc?
[16:46] <PJC> m0pr00t: the forums have plenty on that particular card, I just got it working on my fiances lappy using ndiswraper
[16:46] <alexbOrsova> Jack_SParrow: automount is disabled when I run x as root, so my thumbdrive isn't mounted automagically. how do I mount it manually?
[16:46] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: the howto geek's one might be helpful as well brendonhatcher
[16:46] <adelie> ipx: what are you using for video editing right now?
[16:46] <Hippotamus> bazhang: Ah so no need to worry, ok
[16:46] <bazhang> Hippotamus: indeed not :}
[16:47] <adelie> ipx: and did you try searching for something like libtga? (common naming paradigm)
[16:47] <jaggz-> HIPPOPOTAMUS!
[16:47] <ipx> adelie: Nothing francly, but ive been trying pitivi, avidemux and kino without any success
[16:47] <bazhang> caps jaggz-
[16:47] <adelie> ipx try cinepaint?
[16:47] <ipx> adelie: I can use the .tga-files but i want to merge them into a movie
[16:47] <ipx> ok i'll try :)
[16:47] <jaggz-> bazhang, I was screaming it.  :)
[16:47] <m0pr00t> (PJC) i looked. and tried few but no0ow my wifi manager in the tray icon disappeared. and i need an offline installation method
[16:48] <adelie> ipx: What made the tga files?
[16:48] <PJC> sorry alexbOrsova, but i have a fulling installed working ubuntu lol
[16:48] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - thanks, that worked, I can now see the option to upgrade
[16:48] <ipx> adelie: quake3's command cl_avidemo :>
[16:48] <VSpike> Does anyone know, with Tracker, if the paths are recursively scanned?  And does it follow symlinks?
[16:48] <alexbOrsova> %$@#
[16:48] <ipx> Got a bunch of .tga-files in a order that i want to merge in the right order to create a movie at 30fps
[16:48] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: great news!
[16:48] <ipx> There's lods of guides for windows but cannot find any linux-applications that can do the same as the windows ones
[16:48] <alexbOrsova> it's a good thing I have empty computer cases around me to throw in situations like these...
[16:48] <leitao> hello. I am gonna buy some PCs to use ubuntu on them. What is the best Wifi device best to use with ubuntu?
[16:48] <progrock`> Hey, I must have messed up on the keyboard autodetection during my last install, i got a pretty standard old US Microsoft keyboard... anyone know the easiest way to set up the keyboard again
[16:48] <bazhang> jaggz-: haha
[16:48] <PJC> m0pr00t: i can't help you other than point you in that direction, I installed using directions from there on a ethernet connection

[16:49] <Hippotamus> jaggz: no not hippopotamus, I deliberately dropped the po.
[16:49] <PJC> m0pr00t: don't give up, I'm sure someone around here with more knowledge than me can help at some point
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova:   MAybe this will help..  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48549/
[16:50] <adelie> Anyone setup an ltsp server before?
[16:50] <ipx> adelie: cinepaint is not what im looking for, im looking for a video-editing program that can make a movie out of a bunch of pictures at a specific fps
[16:50] <jaggz-> hippo, all the richer
[16:50] <Pici> adelie: you might be able to get some help with that in #edubuntu and #ubuntu-server, cheers.
[16:50] <PJC> ok, take care alexbOrsova, I hope you get it working, but now I'm fixed I'm back to idle mode
[16:50] <SpookyET> How do you get compiz fusion to work with AIGLX and ATI? It does work with XGL.
[16:51] <Pici> SpookyET: The version of fglrx that is in the Ubuntu repositories is not compatible with AIGLX.
[16:51] <leitao> bazhang: any specific chipset?
[16:51] <adelie> Pici: thanks
[16:51] <bazhang> moproot no way to get an ethernet cable to that box?
[16:51] <adelie> ipx: isn't cinepaint a non-linear video editor?
[16:51] <Hippotamus> japggz, I thougt of hippo, but that was too small, and hippopotamus too long
[16:51] <bazhang> leitao 3945 works well for me--atheros are quite good generally as well
[16:51] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: it says 'special device /dev/sda4 does not exist'
[16:51] <Eyemean> progrock, in synaptic it says lame aint an mp3 encoder
[16:52] <leitao> bazhang: atheros is closed source,  isn't it?
[16:52] <alexbOrsova> and i have my thumbdrive plugged in
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: THen I cant help.. sorry
[16:52] <wols_> SpookyET: you can't so far. pester ati for working aiglx supporting drivers
[16:52] <bazhang> leitao: there are the madwifi drivers though :}  intel is the safest bet though
[16:52] <Pici> Eyemean: Thats what the acronym stands for.  Its developer humor.
[16:52] <ItchyHobo> hi
[16:52] <alexbOrsova> well thats great... :(
[16:52] <bazhang> hi ItchyHobo

[16:53] <progrock`> anyone know how to do keyboard autodetection after install?  my ctrl key raises my volume!
[16:53] <B-rabbit> hi, shouldn't virtual box be in the "add/remove application section" i cannot find it...help plz
[16:53] <jaggz-> progrock, lol
[16:53] <ItchyHobo> VSpike, true
[16:53] <progrock`> And when i choose the corect keybaord layout in preferfences.. lol.. it does nothing
[16:54] <ItchyHobo> i have been using ubuntu for 6 months now i am thinking of switching to debian; good idea ppl?
[16:54] <brobostigon> b-rabbit: have a look for virtual box in sysnaptic
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> progrock`: You can manually edit your xorg
[16:54] <bazhang> B-rabbit: apt-cache search program name or related in terminal can find stuff better
[16:54] <B-rabbit> ok
[16:54] <bazhang> ItchyHobo: ask in #debian :}
[16:54] <B-rabbit> 1 sec
[16:54] <alexbOrsova> what command can I use to find PCI bus for a device?
[16:54] <progrock`> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i was getting to that.. I forgot the keyboard layout tho.. its pretty much the most standard US layout, period
[16:54] <ItchyHobo> ;) i'll know what they'll say

[16:55] <sinthetek> i was hoping someone could help me with my kubuntu installation to gutsy. it seemed to work ok after reboot but yesterday after a power outtage it seems udev/device mapper or whatever is having issues with my home partition
[16:55] <bazhang> that was for you alexbOrsova: lspci
[16:55] <sinthetek> although i can mount and fsck the drive fine from debian install cd in rescue mode, ubuntu continually says 'resource unavaiable' or 'partition busy or already mounted' despite contents of /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts
[16:55] <alexbOrsova> oh, thanks
[16:55] <sinthetek> since ubuntu can access / partition on same drive and debian's rescue mode fsck says partition is fine and i can mount it fine from there, it seems most likely the cause is some sort of problem in ubuntu's uuid or coldplug or udev implementation or something
[16:56] <Silvister>  can you tell me how do shell providers for eggdrops work. they give installing rights. but their file system is also protected. and they make user confined to one directory only.. how?
[16:56] <sinthetek> since ubuntu can access / partition on same drive and debian's rescue mode fsck says /home partition is fine and i can mount it fine from there, it seems most likely the cause is some sort of problem in ubuntu's uuid or coldplug or udev implementation or something

[16:58] <progrock`> Jack_Sparrow: thanks.. yeah.. two extra lines in there that i thought were funny... do I have to Vntrl-Alt-Backspace to reload the xorg?... or can I without closing all my gui applications?
[16:58] <VSpike> josh__, did you try ./configure
[16:58] <PJC> !patience is a virtue
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> progrock`: I would close them just to be sure
[16:58] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: if I get my xorg.conf up to pastebin, will you help me?
[16:58] <PJC> oops
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> alexyes
[16:58] <josh__> VSpike, in terminal what shall I add to it
[16:58] <Eyemean> bazhang, right, i didnt know that, wat would u recommend i use it with pls? im new to linux, heers
[16:58] <Eyemean> cheers
[16:58] <alexbOrsova> ill be back in about 5 minutes

[16:59] <brobostigon> b-rabbit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/misc/virtualbox-ose

[16:59] <josh__> No such file or directory
[16:59] <B-rabbit> brobostigon, i cannot find virtual box in synaptic, i found synaptic allrite....i think it is some thing to do with software source or sumpin
[17:00] <B-rabbit> brobostigon, do u use virtual box
[17:00] <B-rabbit> ?

[17:01] <adelie> Any experience here with LDAP servers?
[17:01] <fotoflo> hey
[17:01] <troubled> Jack_Sparrow: ah, so it knows that they are affected by the D*C thing from before and remembers it?
[17:01] <fotoflo> how do i create an alias for a directory ?
[17:01] <josh__> Hrm, ./configure won' t work? :S
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: Ops have a way of checking them
[17:02] <fotoflo> so i can "cd logs" from anywhere and end up at /etc/httpd/logs
[17:02] <fotoflo> for example
[17:02] <ptw> jbailey: hey jeff
[17:02] <jaggz-> perhaps if I force rm python it'll re-install cleanly??
[17:02] <bazhang> k3b can do it as well from a gui Eyemean
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: They should also get a link or note on the problem and how to take care of it
[17:02] <troubled> Jack_Sparrow: ah. i figured they just watched and kept track of who dc's when it happens. I was just wondering why 3 people got banned for slowpokes actions thats all. seemed unrealated. thanks for fillin me in
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: I probably explained it badly.. but that is my understanding
[17:03] <SpookyET> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on already created LVM partitions?
[17:03] <crush_groove> jaggz why would a force removal ensure a clean re-install without knowing why it installed bad the first time ?

[17:08] <Edulix> hi
[17:08] <XBehave> is updating from a clean 7.04 install going to give me a good 7.10 install?
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> JerryP: I have only done server install once.. so I am not profecient in what all you can or want to do from there
[17:08] <B-rabbit> does any one here use "virtualbox"?
[17:09] <grody> XBehave, even if it was a bloated install, is should update fine :)
[17:09] <backslash> grody, how do i know which RC i need to edit ?
[17:09] <FruitieX> when i run aplay i get this following output: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[17:09] <FruitieX> aplay: main:546: audio open error: Laitteelle sopimaton ioctl

[17:09] <troubled> Pici: ya, jack and others filled me in. i like your approach though. definetly help get that darn problem solved
[17:09] <grody> backslash, rc1 = single user, any other barr rc6 is startup at different userlevels
[17:09] <backslash> hmm...
[17:09] <grody> just remove them from rc2 & rc3
[17:09] <Pici> troubled: I was scrolled up, didnt realize :)
[17:09] <u_angel> what is a good database gui for sqlite?
[17:10] <sudobash> PruitieX make sure your using the correct alsa device in whatever player your using
[17:10] <backslash> grody, which one is it when i just start with gnome (standard) ? or any search-function ?
[17:10] <grody> sorry backslash?
[17:10] <troubled> Pici: heh, dont worry. 5 minutes in here and you got 20 pages to scroll through. (~ 12-15k messages per day here iirc)
[17:10] <backslash> grody: i dont know where to find it
[17:10] <grody> it is best to do it in a console backslash
[17:10] <backslash> i am
[17:10] <crush_groove> Jack_Sparrow,  dont tell me . Hosed means same thing here it means in Real life .. dunt it ?
[17:10] <troubled> Pici: you ever catch my last graph for you guys a week or so ago?
[17:10] <sudobash> like mine has an option for DD5.1 or AC'97... looks like your using digital
[17:10] <backslash> i am grody. i dont know which folder rcX.d
[17:11] <grody> if you're not sure, best bet is to learn a little about bootup before you play backslash
[17:11]  * u_angel wonders if he is in the wrong room
[17:11] <sudobash> if that does work try reinstalling alsa
[17:11] <FruitieX> sudobash: Yeah, it's the correct device
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove: Probably not the technical term I should have used
[17:11] <B-rabbit> Does anyone here use "VIRTUALBOX"? if you do could you "paste bin" your software source list "/etc/apt/sources.list", i am trying to get virtual box and it is suppouse to be in the ADD/REMOVE Aplication program, for some reason it is not there..i belive that i donot have the source stuff to get VBOX...thnx
[17:11] <FruitieX> sudobash: This happened after a kernel update
[17:11] <Pici> u_angel: perhaps no one has the answers to your questions. I personally don't use a gui for sqlite.
[17:11] <backslash> i no about those runlevels and startup modules and so on but i cant find it..
[17:11] <backslash> its just not there
[17:12] <grody> you could try your luck with webmin, which does have a simple interface, but it is not installable via apt or synaptic or the like backslash
[17:12] <sudobash> open the alsa frontend and see if it allows you to change volume level for your PCM devicew
[17:12] <backslash> maybe theres another way ?
[17:12] <backslash> yes
[17:12] <crush_groove> lollllll  Jack_Sparrow  Im all googlin "Hosed dependencies lookin for some techy answer .. hahaha ,. then it dawns on me
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove: Sorry
[17:12] <u_angel> Pici:  thanks, hate being a damn noob
[17:12] <FruitieX> sudobash: you mean alsamixer? it works just fine
[17:12] <grody> backslash, if you want something to start during boot, try adding the command to /etc/rc.local
[17:12] <backslash> can i automaticlly add you name to my msg ? do you type it all the time grody ?
[17:12] <crush_groove> ;) no prob .. gotta learn sumhow
[17:12] <Pici> !tab | backslash
[17:12] <ubotu> backslash: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[17:12] <grody> just when it gets busy backslash, makes it easier to find :)

[17:15] <u_angel> bazhang: huh? so i use firefox to manage my db? that does not sound like a good idea

[17:19] <Pici> RCOMALTA: you can: `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop`  FYI: there are no restricted (closed) drivers for the -server kernel.
[17:19] <sudobash> maybe it is trying to open device when it is already open either that or there is a bug in the app. hence the Inappropriate ioctl for device

[17:19] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow
[17:20] <FruitieX> sudobash: well, it worked before i rebooted to the new kernel
[17:20] <Chousuke> probably not that either :/
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: you made it
[17:20] <bazhang> u_angel: no idea then :}
[17:20] <sudobash> whatever IOCTL it is using.. it is a linux API
[17:20] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: here's the link to the patebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48553/
[17:20] <sudobash> specific to your OS
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[17:20] <alexbOrsova> phweeee...
[17:20] <sudobash> maybe the update changed the API but probably not
[17:20] <Pici> limbeaux: either libgd2-noxpm-dev or libgd2-xpm-dev
[17:20] <Chousuke> actually
[17:20] <alexbOrsova> if you'll excuse me, i have to faint right abou tnow...
[17:20] <alexbOrsova> *now
[17:21] <limbeaux> thanks!!
[17:21] <sudobash> or maybe the handler for the IOCTL it is using is not valid anymore
[17:21] <FruitieX> hmm
[17:21] <FruitieX> wish i knew what to do about that eh :D
[17:21] <Chousuke> heh
[17:21] <Chousuke> wish I knew too
[17:22] <Chousuke> but my knowledge of operating systems is pretty limited still :/
[17:22] <u_angel> bazhang: thanks for the assist
[17:22] <Chousuke> never mind the piece of hardware causing the problem :)
[17:22] <sudobash> yeah me too... i would help you out more but im at work and on an XP machine :(
[17:22] <bazhang> no worries
[17:22] <FruitieX> ok...
[17:23] <sudobash> look for alsa PCM formums... you will find an answer there Im sure
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48554/                  but are you sure of your busid?
[17:24] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: no, i ahve no clue what it is
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: How had is it for you to move this over?    You might just want to manually add 1024x768 like I did then the other changes
[17:24] <boris__> hi
[17:24] <alexbOrsova> I can just edit it manually, should only take a few seconds
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Ok...  just add that one res for now.
[17:25] <boris__> sometimes when i try to restart X, everything stops at doing local start scripts (something like rc.local)
[17:25] <boris__> and X doesnt restart and im left with unusable comp
[17:25] <Pici> boris__: how are you trying to restartX?
[17:25] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: while im editing: why does it work when I type in 'startx' but not when I load through grub? any idea?
[17:25] <Chousuke> boris__: it's not unusable :)
[17:26] <Chousuke> boris__: unless it really fails badly
[17:26] <boris__> Pici : Ctrl Alt Backspave, or from a terminal failsafe session with 'exit' command
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: We need to look at grub as well...
[17:26] <boris__> Chousuke: so what do you reccomend me to do after it happens ?
[17:26] <Chousuke> boris__: next time, you could try switching into a console and restarting X again
[17:26] <nick__> test
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: YOu can paste three lines in here from your grub boot line
[17:26] <Pici> boris__: ctrl-alt-backspace forces a restart of x, its not really a 'safe' way of doing it.  you should be using `sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart`
[17:26] <Pici> nick__: failed.
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Please be careful to not paste more than that
[17:27] <bazhang> haha
[17:27] <Chousuke> Pici: that does the effectively the same thing as ctrl-alt-backspace
[17:27] <Dr_willis> boris__,  are you sure when you are restarting X. that you are not just seeing the rc.local script messages. rc.local launches right befor X starts, and you just may be seeing the old message.
[17:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: ok, i made the changes in xorg.conf (but you should know, i have already tried this and it didn't work);
[17:27] <boris__> Chousuke and Pici : i got a 'damaged' fglrx driver, so i gotta do 'sudo rmmod fglrx' and restart X always after reboot for fglrx to start functioning
[17:27] <agroker> can anybody help me with the syntax of adding a new repo in smart (something like smart channel --add) - I would like to add a gutsy main
[17:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: which lines do you want to see from my grub menu.,lst
[17:27] <Chousuke> boris__: hmh
[17:27] <Chousuke> boris__: you should replace it
[17:27] <bazhang> agroker: smart? that is suse iirc
[17:28] <boris__> Dr_willis: when i restart X, i get a verbose mode - it halts at the line 'Starting local boot scripts -rc.local' or something like that
[17:28] <Dr_willis> I thouhg there was some port of smart for ubuntu. but you dont hear about it much
[17:28] <boris__> Chousuke: what ?
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Can I see your grub line ...  kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=3bd28b50-7ffd-4cfd-8d3a-97a3dae1f1f8 ro quiet splash noapic
[17:28] <agroker> bazhang, I'm using smart on RHEL, would like to get a certain scientific package from gutsy main universe
[17:28] <Chousuke> boris__: fglrx
[17:28] <alexbOrsova> one sec...
[17:28] <Dr_willis> boris__,  its not halting at that. :) its just once you close X you see the message.
[17:28] <boris__> Chousuke: how you mean ?
[17:28] <bazhang> agroker: I think you want synaptic :}
[17:28] <Pici> boris__: If your fglrx is damaged, then you shouldn't be using it.
[17:28] <agroker> bazhang, I'll try synaptic
[17:28] <bazhang> agroker: packages.ubuntu.com
[17:28] <boris__> Pici: it's not really damaged, it somehow doesnt load at startup
[17:28] <Dr_willis> boris__,  that message is the last of the init scripts.
[17:29] <boris__> but it does function
[17:29]  * AllNicksAreTaken starts crying
[17:29] <Pici> agroker: Thats not going to work well.  You should be looking for RHEL support and seeing if you can get a deb package installed.
[17:29] <boris__> Dr_willis:  well nothing happens after that message, i cant do anything and i dont get GDM ! else i wouldnt be asking!
[17:29] <bazhang> agroker: you can search for stuff there (and download I believe)
[17:29] <Pici> agroker: its way out of the support scope for this channel.

[17:29] <Dr_willis> Ive had issues with the fglrx/ati cards and drivers - where I get a blackscreen when i try to restart X. Using the 'always restart X' optuion in KDM/gdm helped some. On another box however. i just had to disalb e kdm/gdm and use  the console login and 'startx'
[17:29] <boris__> Dr_willis:  also , it doesnt give me terminal !, so i cant do anything
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> RB2: run it from a termianl session and look for errors

[17:30] <AllNicksAreTaken> I'm trying to find 7.04 as my USB WiFi dongle does not work with 7.10
[17:30] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: do you want the UUID value in full?
[17:30] <boris__> Dr_willis: i dont get black screen, just that MESA loads, so i gotta enable fglrx
[17:30] <agroker> Pici, all I wanted to do is to get a deb repo in smart and actually try to install a package, RHEL support sucks ass

[17:31] <boris__> Chousuke: so i do ctrl alt 1 when i wanna get into console from a broken x restart ?
[17:31] <Dr_willis> boris__,  you may want to try disabling gdm/kdm and loging in using the console,. and try 'startx' see if the issue still happens. I dont use ati any more. so im just rembering wha ti had to do on my old laptop
[17:31] <Chousuke> boris__: F1, but yes
[17:31] <RB2> Jack_Sparrow, I'm going to try that, but sometimes it can be a week with no problems. Can I redirect the messages to a file?
[17:31] <AllNicksAreTaken> !wl-167g
[17:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wl-167g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:31] <Chousuke> boris__: or f2-f6 will work too
[17:31] <RB2> Jack_Sparrow, If so, I'll just setup a new launcher to use for now.
[17:31] <bazhang> AllNicksAreTaken: what chipset?
[17:31] <AllNicksAreTaken> ralink
[17:31] <Chousuke> boris__: there are 7 virtual consoles, of which the seventh runs X
[17:31] <AllNicksAreTaken> rt2500
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> RB2: I am busy with someone else just trying to point you in the right direction
[17:32] <Chousuke> boris__: you can switch between them even now :)
[17:32] <RB2> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks!
[17:32] <AllNicksAreTaken> it worked fine out of the box for Ubuntu 7.04 .... Unfortunately not the same for 7.10
[17:32] <bazhang> AllNicksAreTaken: ralink rt2500?
[17:32] <AllNicksAreTaken> err
[17:32] <boris__> Chousuke and Pici : my issue happens when i enter 'exit' in a failsafe terminal session. i believe that is not forcible restart ?
[17:32] <AllNicksAreTaken> yeah, I think so
[17:32] <juano__> AllNicksAreTaken: try typing : lspci
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: You can also add some more options to your grub...   just copy title   to initrd   and   try removing splash and quiet
[17:32] <boris__> Chousuke : oh, it doesnt always happen
[17:33] <Chousuke> boris__: it's not.
[17:33] <AllNicksAreTaken> you mean lsusb, it's an USB dongle
[17:33] <AllNicksAreTaken> :P
[17:33] <Chousuke> boris__: but it kills X11 anyway
[17:33] <juano__> AllNicksAreTaken: ahh thought pci :P
[17:33] <Chousuke> boris__: but that should usually be safe.
[17:33] <FruitieX> sudobash: could it help to switch to the integrated sound?
[17:33] <Chousuke> X11 doesn't really mind dying
[17:33] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: ok hold on
[17:33] <Chousuke> only its apps do. :P
[17:33] <oem> Hello
[17:33] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: I wish I had better answers for you
[17:33] <stdin> is anyone good with ssh? for some reason I can't get X11 forwarding working to one host even though "X11Forwarding yes" is set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[17:33] <Pici> boris__: restarting the gdm will force it to come back up.
[17:33] <Arelis> Hi guys. For some reason ,my ALT key doesn't work anymore. Any help?

[17:34] <Arelis> FruitieX: no
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Ok...

[17:36] <Arelis> juano__: only left alt. I replaced compiz with metacity now, and noticed alt works again.
[17:36] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how I can install the gnome desktop from xubuntu?
[17:36] <AllNicksAreTaken> thanks
[17:36] <juano__> Arelis: interesting
[17:36] <AllNicksAreTaken> and ... wow, that is going to annoy the heck out of me
[17:36] <boris__> Pici and Chousuke : guess what - it happened again, but thanks to Chousuke, i was  able to start term. and 'startx'
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: you should be able to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[17:38] <bazhang> AllNicksAreTaken: great--many, myself included have had nightmares with those however
[17:38] <harking> minerale: there is an option under the administration section to check the driver currently in use
[17:38] <harking> you might have to restart Xwindows to get the driver to load
[17:39] <harking> minerale: and if it compiled a kernel driver, the easiest way to get it to load is to reboot

[17:46] <CppIsWeird> is there some repository i need to add to find pidgin in synaptic?
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !info pidgin
[17:47] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: no
[17:47] <ubotu> pidgin: graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1 (gutsy), package size 589 kB, installed size 1720 kB
[17:47] <helloWorldm> CppIsWeird, what ubuntu version are you using?
[17:47] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: it also comes pre-intalled on 7.10
[17:47] <KyleS-work> pidgin should be installed by default
[17:47] <staticfish> righto cheers baz
[17:47] <maximi89> gracias

[17:48] <CppIsWeird> yeah, im on just before 7.10, i forget what version it is.
[17:48] <ikonia> tushyd: join #apple and check it out
[17:48] <CppIsWeird> but it still came with gaim.
[17:48] <helloWorldm> Cpp, then you are looking for Gaim
[17:48] <tushyd> thanks

[17:48] <helloWorldm> Gaim had to change their name to pidgen
[17:48] <helloWorldm> but its pretty much the same app, maybe minus a few features
[17:48] <CppIsWeird> oh, so there is just no package for pidgin for 7.04?
[17:48] <staticfish> got it, thanks
[17:48] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: corret
[17:49] <staticfish> for future reference it's controlled by gstreamer-properties
[17:49] <KyleS-work> Gaim pissed off AOL :P
[17:49] <staticfish> gstreamer-properties should be in a configuration menu somewhere, not hidden away]\
[17:49] <ikonia> KyleS-work: that language is uncalled for

[17:49] <ikonia> yes, really

[17:49] <KyleS-work> which?

[17:52] <Flannel> mgim: There is no ubuntu 2.4, or 2.6
[17:52] <mgim> yes, sorry
[17:52] <WhatTeh_> uhm, my apologies if there was a join-flood in this channel. I changed something in my router so my connection had dropped. After trying to re-connect my irc client went frenzy. The server kept telling my nick was already being used
[17:52] <mgim> kernel from 2.6 to 2.4
[17:52] <ikonia> mgim: if so, that is not wise due to poxis threading
[17:52] <ikonia> posix threading
[17:52] <jumpkick> the partitioner for 7.10/AMD64 live cd fails to run for me
[17:52] <ikonia> and nptl requirments for 2.6
[17:53] <mgim> ok so let me start over
[17:53] <mgim> i need to have kernel 2.4 due to some old drivers that are 2.4 kernel only
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> WhatTeh_: It is called Ghost.. and you can kill them off
[17:53] <ironfoot> is there a way to get some help with smarty tried the #smarty but noone is responding!
[17:53] <ikonia> mgim: that is not a reason to go to 2.4
[17:53] <mgim> whats the best way to do this? I'm getting errors in the include.h when make clean
[17:53] <mgim> why not?
[17:53] <Flannel> mgim: No ubuntu version has ever used 2.4 kernel.  What you might want to look at is some distros that are specifically for older stuff (and use 2.4 exactly for the HW reasons), Delilinux is one, I know there are a few others as well.
[17:53] <ikonia> mgim: because of the posix threading required for 2.4 and the ntpl dependencies built in for 2.6
[17:54] <mgim> so i need to switch flavors
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> jumpkick: get the Gparted Livecd    and use it instead
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !gparted | jumpkick
[17:54] <ubotu> jumpkick: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[17:54] <tushyd> anyone know how to get vncviewer to see a mac desktop? i get an end of stream and don't see the desktop (no one is answering on #apple)
[17:54] <Flannel> mgim: It's usually better to pick the best tool for the job, than to try and force something into doing something it wasn't designed for
[17:54] <ikonia> tushyd: join #apple
[17:54] <tushyd> ikonia... no one is answering there....
[17:54] <ikonia> tushyd: then wait
[17:54] <WhatTeh_> Jack_Sparrow: my nick is not registered, I can't ghost it :P
[17:54] <mgim> that makes sense, Flannel
[17:55] <ikonia> tushyd: this is ubuntu support only
[17:55] <tushyd> but i am in ubuntu
[17:55] <ikonia> tushyd: you want vnc on mac yes/no ?
[17:55] <juano__> am i able to install a .tgz in anyway under ubuntu ? or maybe convert to .deb ?
[17:55] <tushyd> i want to vnc so i can see a mac desktop
[17:55] <Some_Person> How do I change what irc:// links open in?
[17:55] <ikonia> juano__: what package do you want to install
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tushyd: Then the program you are trying to use/install isnt well supported...
[17:55] <juano__> ikonia: meka (sms emulator)
[17:55] <ikonia> tushyd: then you need a vnc service running on the mac
[17:55] <juano__> ikonia: 0.70
[17:55] <tushyd> the vnc service is running on the mac and it gives me an address
[17:55] <ikonia> juano__: is there a version in the repo ??
[17:56] <mgim> what distribution would be better for kernel 2.4?
[17:56] <ikonia> mgim: an old one
[17:56] <juano__> ikonia: mm nope, just searched there
[17:56] <juano__> ikonia: nothing
[17:56] <Flannel> !checkinstall | juano__
[17:56] <tushyd> but when I try to connect, it asks for the password and when I hit enter the window closes and says "end of stream"
[17:56] <ikonia> juano__: then you'll have to build your self
[17:56] <ubotu> juano__: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mgim: Try an older copy of Knoppix.. it wasnt too bad.. or MAybe even Mepis
[17:56] <Flannel> mgim: http://delili.lens.hl-users.com/
[17:56] <juano__> Flannel: awesome, thanks a lot :)
[17:57] <juano__> ikonia: thanks :)

[18:00] <slaphappy> hi there...is there any way to read exact system informations from north bridge like on windows ?
[18:00] <ricanelite> okay i have a really bad issue here, I just did a clean reinstall of ubuntu linux 7.10 Gusty. Now it is running very bad. Slow, Freeze out of no where. What can be the issue? The CD that I use to install Ubuntu 7.10 is the copy that ubuntu sent me in the mail
[18:00] <ikonia> adelie: any ussable image for ubuntu
[18:00] <boris__> Flannel: apparently, there is, cuz damn synaptic wont let me install
[18:00] <ricanelite> What can be the problem? I have a decent machine which is a Pentium Dual Core 1.6ghz, 1gig ram, Geforce 8400 GS
[18:00] <BjoeHrn> Hello
[18:00] <Flannel> boris__: Do you have multiverse enabled?
[18:00] <ikonia> ricanelite: what are you trying to do
[18:00] <Pici> slaphappy: `sudo lshw` perhaps, or are you looking for temperatures?
[18:01] <Some_Person> ricanelite: i had the same issue, the only solution i found was to install 7.04 and upgrade to 7.10
[18:01] <juano__> Flannel: then the syntax should be:  sudo checkinstall mypackage.tgz  ? right ?
[18:01] <ikonia> Some_Person: that is not a solution
[18:01] <adelie> ikonia: does the server still handle application load?
[18:01] <Some_Person> ikonia: its a workaroundf
[18:01] <BjoeHrn> Can anyone tell me why I cant activate desktop effects on gutsy when I use the radeon driver?
[18:01] <boris__> Flannel: yes, and i see it - when i try to install it, it says that it aint available for i386
[18:01] <ikonia> Some_Person: not when you do'nt even understand the problem
[18:01] <ricanelite> really
[18:01] <Pici> BjoeHrn: What video card do you have?
[18:01] <BjoeHrn> Pici, Radeon 9600
[18:01] <ikonia> adelie: local processing is done by the local machine, backend processing is done by the server
[18:01] <ricanelite> I wonder if the CD is bad? Also by download the 7.10 off the internet will work?
[18:02] <ikonia> ricanelite: no, the cd will either work or not
[18:02] <lhoerste> ikonia: it says that my packages are from an untrusted source
[18:02] <slaphappy> description: Host bridge
[18:02] <slaphappy>           product: Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Cont
[18:02] <ricanelite> wow
[18:02] <adelie> ikonia: which is which?
[18:02] <ricanelite> so I guess if it starts doing again then i should install 7.04
[18:02] <slaphappy> i would like to know if i have a945gm oder a 940gml
[18:02] <slaphappy> this is very important
[18:02] <ricanelite> and upgrade to 7.10 wow it takes a long time to upgrade to 7.10
[18:02] <ikonia> ricanelite: why ?
[18:02] <ikonia> ricanelite: there is no reason to do that, and no reason to think it wll work
[18:02] <Flannel> juano__: No, checkinstall is a wrapper around make install, so you'll need everything for normal compilation, except the actual make install command,
[18:03] <Flannel> !compile | juano__
[18:03] <ubotu> juano__: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:03] <ricanelite> well because at times it happen random times now ubuntu runs slow or just random freeze
[18:03] <slaphappy> pici ?
[18:03] <ikonia> ricanelite: right, so understand the problem, don't do random things
[18:03] <juano__> Flannel: oh ok, i should install buildessentials and so on then
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> slaphappy: I was just now able to run cpu-z under wine.. if that helps
[18:04] <lhoerste> I've updated to gutsy on my server install and now all of the verification of apt servers is broken (it says they are untrusted packages). How can I fix them all?
[18:04] <Pici> slaphappy: Hold on, I think that you might be blacklisted. I'm looking for the exact chipset name of that card.
[18:04] <ricanelite> well like if I just read something in Firefox and while I'm reading something it will freeze up on me
[18:04] <jumpkick> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I thought the ubuntu installer was using gparted...   I just installed qtparted while running the live cd, looks like the kernel doesn't support NTFS at all...  "NTFS failed: Operation not supported"...   that is pretty lame
[18:04] <slaphappy> thx
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> jumpkick: It should support ntfs...
[18:04] <ricanelite> or if I'm just changing the background picture it will freeze on me
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> jumpkick: You didnt get the gparted livecd like I suggested...
[18:04] <Flannel> juano__: yeah
[18:05] <wols_> jumpkick: there is no kernel support needed for ntfs resizeing. as long as the kernel can read the blockdevice it's ok
[18:05] <juano__> Flannel: thank you
[18:05] <adelie> ikonia: sorry, really new to this. Do I really only need a web server, and the host understands the type of request being made?
[18:05] <wols_> jumpkick: you also shouldn't use qtparted but gparted
[18:05] <jumpkick> Jack_Sparrow: that's what I thought, maybe I need to run checkdisk on the windows partition
[18:05] <jumpkick> wols_: gparted crashes
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> jumpkick: as well as defreg twice
[18:05] <ricanelite> one more thing what is a application I could get that will help me install the multimedia codecs. The lastest Java I know there was a application called Automaix and Easyubuntu i think
[18:05] <Pici> slaphappy: the 9600 pro?
[18:05] <jumpkick> Jack_Sparrow: already defagged once

[18:06] <ricanelite> okay

[18:06] <cdeszaq> Hello all, I am having trouble ssh-ing from a machine running Dapper to a machine with a new SSH install of Gutsy. They are on the same LAN, and I can ssh from the Gutsy box into the Dapper box, and from the Gutsy box back into itself, but I cannot ssh from Dapper to Gutsy. Any ideas for what might be wrong?

[18:07] <slaphappy> no problem
[18:07] <ricanelite> Thanks
[18:07] <BjoeHrn> Pici, hm but the radeon driver is a ATI driver, or not?
[18:07] <pike_> cdeszaq: you have any iptables rules setup? installed firestarter for instance?
[18:07] <ricanelite> well so far it has my pc has not acted up yet
[18:08] <Pici> BjoeHrn: Yes, but that particular chipset is blackisted from using compiz.
[18:08] <ricanelite> what should I have installed for Compiz-Fusion?
[18:08] <cdeszaq> pike_: I don't think so...I did install firestarter, but it is not running
[18:08] <ricanelite> should I have xgl installed?
[18:08] <pike_> cdeszaq: on the server machine maybe do sudo iptables -L  this should respond with three ACCEPTs
[18:08] <ikonia> ricanelite: are you using 7.10 ?
[18:08] <ricanelite> yes
[18:08] <freepenguin> hello
[18:08] <ikonia> ricanelite: are you using a desktop or server install
[18:08] <ricanelite> desktop
[18:08] <ikonia> ricanelite: compiz-fusion is already installed
[18:08] <freepenguin> the best programm to make personal distro of ubuntu?
[18:09] <ricanelite> now if i want to see the Cube?
[18:09] <pike_> cdeszaq: if you have more then you want to run firestarter 'gksu firestarter' and add inbound rule under policy tab for port 22
[18:09] <ikonia> freepenguin: it's not a program
[18:09] <cdeszaq> pike_: Yup

[18:09] <ikonia> Pici: my saviour
[18:09] <freepenguin> ikonia, i've tried reconstructor but  some things don't work.. could you tell me another software?
[18:09] <BjoeHrn> Pici, that mean I have to use the ati metapacket or I can't use the desktop effects because my chipset is on the blacklist?
[18:09] <ricanelite> Thanks!
[18:09] <ikonia> freepenguin: it is not a bit of software, it is a long process that you must understand fully
[18:10] <cdeszaq> pike_: It has chain INPUT, chain FORWARD, and chain OUTPUT
[18:10] <pike_> cdeszaq: ok try this on client machine  mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh-old  then retry to ssh
[18:10] <Pici> BjoeHrn: That means you need to join #compiz-fusion and have them help you un-blacklist your driver.

[18:11] <lmg> hello there people! I have troubles accessing /dev/mem, more precisely: getting snes9x to run in fullscreen mode.
[18:11] <tushyd> VNC client is giving me an "end of stream" error... what's up with that?
[18:11] <slaphappy> pici you have forgotten me ?
[18:11] <scena> Does anyone have a man/howto page for setting up LDAP on 7.10?
[18:12] <bazhang> zsnes is far better imo lmg
[18:12] <ikonia> scena: set it up for what ?
[18:12] <ikonia> sebrock: what schema ? what intergration ? what auth ?
[18:12] <lmg> I have added the current user to the group 'kmem' and `groups` shows that correctly.
[18:12] <sbacheler> I am running Ubunto 6.06 LTS Server. needing to get to the super user to correct an update problem. How can I get there from the Gnome GUI?
[18:12] <wols_> Pici: thought it was the rv360. seems I am wrong :(
[18:12] <ikonia> sbacheler: what problem
[18:12] <sebrock> ikonia ?
[18:12] <scena> ikonia: well i have the stuff installed, and webmin realizes its there but it looks like some config files rae missing.
[18:12] <Pici> slaphappy: sorry.
[18:12] <sebrock> wrong person?
[18:12] <lmg> bazhang: well, might give that a shot. still wanna know how to set permissions to read from /dev/mem.
[18:12] <ikonia> sebrock: sorry, that we meant for scena
[18:12] <wols_> sbacheler: gksudo
[18:12] <sebrock> np
[18:12] <cdeszaq> pike_: When I ran iptables -L before, I was mistakenly on the box that worked...on the one that doesn't, there are a whole bunch of entries. So should I just use firestarter to open up port 22?
[18:12] <scena> so im thinking i missed a few steps between the set up and using webmin
[18:12] <magic_ninja> !iso

[18:13] <Pici> wols_: radeon 9600 XT is the rv360.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units
[18:13] <ikonia> scena: you want webmin to use ldap ?
[18:13] <bazhang> lmg: zsnes steals way too much of my time :}
[18:13] <pike_> cdeszaq: yep thats the problem
[18:13] <scena> ikonia: the scenario is this: our company might need to deploy LDAP servers with the equipment we seel. they asked me to come up with a package that could work. i want to use Ubuntu Server 7.10 w Webmin
[18:14] <piyush_> i have misused the chown command..now i have lost control from administrative tasks
[18:14] <wols_> scena: bad choice. I'd go so far as to say stupid choice
[18:14] <scena> ikonia: so i have ldap installed, and webmin installed but webmin is claiming that some other configuration is missing
[18:14] <scena> wols_: why
[18:14] <lmg> did some googling on the topic, but couldn't find anything helpful, just other peoples threads having similar troubles.
[18:14] <Pici> slaphappy: linux doesn't make a differentiation between them because they all use the same driver.  You might be able to find more information in the gnome hardware list though.
[18:14] <ikonia> scena: 1.) webmin is not advisable in any business sitaution 2.) ldap is just a directory for which a package already exists what counts is the schemas you want the auth you want etc
[18:14] <wols_> scena: webmin
[18:14] <okan> hi
[18:14] <scena> ok
[18:14] <scena> i dont have to use webmin
[18:14] <sbacheler> Just installed the distribution and was going to run the update with Synaptic and it came back with: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manuall run 'dkpg --configure -a" to correct the problem.
[18:14] <scena> i was just thinking of that to help with the people that dont know how to work it
[18:14] <wols_> sbacheler: sudo dpkg....
[18:14] <slaphappy> in the hardwarelist are the same things shown any idea for me ?
[18:14] <scena> either way, the few books i have dont go into any depth on setting up ldap
[18:15] <sbacheler> ok will give that a try
[18:15] <ikonia> scena: what schema do you want to use, what auth
[18:15] <scena> ikonia: they havent given me that info. all i was told is its supposed to be used for just user authentication.
[18:15] <cdeszaq> pike_: Thanks a bunch, that worked
[18:15] <iqon> join #f-spot
[18:15] <ikonia> scena: you need that info
[18:15] <cdeszaq> exit
[18:15] <ikonia> scena: ldap is just an empty directory tree
[18:15] <scena> ikonia: yup, that i know
[18:16] <ikonia> scena: so you need info from your company
[18:16] <scena> ikonia: right now, i was trying to get it working w a fake company and some fake users
[18:16] <scena> fake domain of: mytest.com
[18:16] <sbacheler> wols... it came back with command not found
[18:16] <wols_> slaphappy: what PCI ID?
[18:16] <wols_> slaphappy: sudo command not found?
[18:16] <ikonia> scena: but what do you want to auth against it
[18:16] <wols_> sbacheler: sudo command not found?
[18:17] <scena> our client software, which i have no idea how it works. im in our IT dept not the devel dept.
[18:17] <lhoerste> I've updated to gutsy on my server install and now all of the verification of apt servers is broken (it says they are untrusted packages). How can I fix them all?
[18:17] <scena> go open channels of communication!
[18:17] <sbacheler> fileserver@ubuntuServer:~$ sudo dkpg --configure -a
[18:17] <sbacheler> sudo: dkpg: command not found
[18:17] <ikonia> scena: then there is no point progressing it
[18:17] <wols_> ikonia: that would be the content of the ldap DB which is obvious. the question is what mechainis does he want to use to access that LDAP DB
[18:17] <slaphappy> wols again pls for newbies ;)
[18:17] <wols_> slaphappy: you ahve a typo
[18:17] <wols_> slaphappy: what is the PCI ID of the device you want to find out about?
[18:17] <wols_> grah
[18:18] <wols_> sbacheler: you ahve a typo
[18:18] <wols_> slaphappy: and you need to tell me the PCI ID of the device
[18:18] <slaphappy> 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
[18:18] <slaphappy> you mean that ?
[18:18] <cdeszaq> Just a general question...If I wanted to set up a web/file/ssh/mail/database server, would Ubuntu Dapper, or Ubuntu Gutsy be a better choice, and why?
[18:18] <mikebeecham> good evening....for some reason ubuntu is showing me as using ALL of my 35Gb HDD partition, when I'm sure I have not.  Is there something I can look into?
[18:18] <wols_> slaphappy: yes
[18:18] <peterpan_> iam sharing internet throught a server connected to my lan. i want to allow a person to ssh my pc. how can i do it.?
[18:18] <wols_> mikebeecham: df doesn't lie
[18:19] <mikebeecham> wols_: .....but I cant see how I could have used it all?
[18:19] <wols_> peterpan_: portforward port 22 on that server that shares your internet
[18:19] <wols_> mikebeecham: we certainly don't know either
[18:19] <mikebeecham> all of my media on a secondary HDD?
[18:19] <ljudkort> mikebeecham: Download Filelight, and look where the space is going
[18:19] <slaphappy> there i want to know if i have to 945 oder the 940 chipset
[18:19] <scena> found it
[18:19] <scena> http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html
[18:19] <sbacheler> got it, wols.. thanks
[18:19] <wols_> slaphappy: and I want to know what PCI ID it has
[18:19] <lmg> members of 'kmem' able to read /dev/mem for anyone?
[18:19] <mikebeecham> ljudkort: I used disk useage analyser, and again I cant see what is being used?
[18:20] <lmg> is this a bug or some wierd debian feature
[18:20] <mikebeecham> ljudkort: and I cant download anything if I have no HDD space left?
[18:20] <adamski84> hi all,how do i install a package through the terminal?
[18:20] <slaphappy> i dont know where to find the pci id
[18:20] <ljudkort> mikebeecham: hrrm... strange..
[18:20] <progrock`> Anyone know of any good windwos frontends for MPD... most of my housemates use windwos, but wanna use my streaming audio... me tellign them to get rid of windows doesnt seem to be an exceptable solution
[18:20] <cdeszaq> peterpan_: Also, set up an SSH server on the "internet-visible" box, and another one on the PC(inside the LAN) and ssh into the first, and then to the second from there
[18:20] <scena> Thanks guys :) nnl
[18:20] <Pici> adamski84: from the repositories? or you have a .deb file?
[18:20] <scena> bbl
[18:20] <erUSUL> adamski84: man apt-get
[18:20] <ikonia> mikebeecham: clear some space down
[18:20] <mikebeecham> ljudkort: does ubuntu have temp internet files and tmp folders, like windows?
[18:20] <ikonia> mikebeecham: yes, in your home dir
[18:20] <cdeszaq> peterpan_: That allows more flexibility if you want to ssh into other boxes on the lan
[18:20] <erUSUL> mikebeecham: do you mean firefox?
[18:21] <wols_> slaphappy: with lspci -nv
[18:21] <mikebeecham> ikonia: I cant see where I have used the space though, as all of my media goes onto a completely different HDD altogether
[18:21] <mikebeecham> erUSUL: Windows files all these away in a folder
[18:21] <ikonia> mikebeecham: some me the output of df -h in a pastebin
[18:21] <mikebeecham> I wondered whether Ubuntu does the same?
[18:21] <erUSUL> mikebeecham: yes it does; there is an option and extensions to erase all that info... it lives on your home dir under ./mozilla afaik
[18:22] <mikebeecham> ikonia....hda6 shows all used

[18:27] <brobostigon> good evening, all linux enthusiasts.
[18:28] <lesshaste> how do I start the mail server  in ubuntu (I am in telinit 1)?
[18:28] <lesshaste> in fact.. what is the standard mail server? :)
[18:28] <Ayabara> should rhythmbox work with my creative zen using libmtp? how can I view my external devices in rhythmbox?
[18:28] <ikonia> lesshaste: init 3
[18:28] <lesshaste> I just want to be able to send an email from the command line
[18:28] <ikonia> lesshaste: postfix
[18:28] <lesshaste> ikonia, thanks but can I start the mail server without starting everything else?
[18:28] <wy> erUSUL: Thanks. It looks good. I also found krusader. How do they compare?
[18:28] <ikonia> lesshaste: use the init script, but if your at init 1 you'll have no network connection
[18:28] <lesshaste> ikonia, I'll probably start it, send an email and then stop it in my script
[18:29] <magic_ninja> i'm installing the sims, when i try to unmount for another disk it tells me device is busy, how do i force an unmount
[18:29] <lesshaste> ikonia, network is up strangely
[18:29] <brobostigon> lesshaste: pie was a mail client awhile back, if its still the i dont know.
[18:29] <brobostigon> pine**
[18:29] <ikonia> lesshaste: the fact that you don't understand this means you'll probably not understand how to run a mail server and get blacklisted/banned from your isp if you're not careful
[18:29] <ikonia> brobostigon: thats an client, not a MTA
[18:29] <lesshaste> ikonia, I think it will be ok. I just don't know the start command
[18:29] <brobostigon> ok, sorry
[18:29] <ikonia> lesshaste: then you shouldn't start it
[18:30] <lesshaste> ikonia, networking works in telinit 1.. it's the daemons that aren't running
[18:30] <mikebeecham> question...how can I uninstall screenlets?
[18:30] <ikonia> mail servers on the internet should not be messed with unless you understand what your doing and the ramifictions
[18:30] <lesshaste> ikonia, ok.. how would I send an email from the command line in that case?
[18:30] <mikebeecham> just delete the folders from nautilus?
[18:30] <fregger> hello

[18:31] <Yaacov> hello, Gutsy has decided to log me out every time I'm away from the computer for a while
[18:31] <ikonia> brobostigon: I don't think you understand what he's trying to do
[18:31] <brobostigon> gmail requires somekind f mail client and or web intrface
[18:31] <sebrock> how can I make a usual user, ie not root/sudo to use sleep.sh or shutdown? I need to do this from irexec
[18:32] <fregger> Would this be the most appropriate place to get help on setting up the cube in Compiz-Fusion?
[18:32] <Yaacov> I've looked through the tech questions and the forums and can't find anything similar
[18:32] <alexbOrsova> when I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" i get "invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action 'reload' failed" ; does anyone know what that means?
[18:32] <ikonia> sebrock: use the sudoers file to give him access to that one command
[18:32] <pike_> fregger: maybe try #compiz-fusion too
[18:32] <fregger> thanks pike
[18:32] <brobostigon> if he wants to run an email, that is hard difficut and produces lots of trsffic, its not a good idea.
[18:33] <ikonia> brobostigon: what are you talking about
[18:33] <brobostigon> server**
[18:33] <lesshaste> hmm.. so now I have to work out how to get "mail" to use a particular smtp server :)
[18:33] <Ayabara> how can I compile rhythmbox with mtp-support? I get an error message when I try to enable the mtp plugin
[18:33] <Yaacov> I'm using a Dell Inspiron 700m and I changed xorg.conf in order to be able to use a second monitor in addition to the laptop
[18:33] <ikonia> brobostigon: it doesn't procduce large traffic
[18:33] <alexbOrsova> hey Jack_Sparrow are you still here?
[18:33] <ikonia> brobostigon: if you don't know what is being dicussed please don't offer random input
[18:33] <Yaacov> I can't find anything in xorg.conf that suggests it would be causing the problem
[18:34] <AndrewSvet> I'm getting weird graphic errors that look like they're caused by a loose monitor cable except that I can take screenshots of them
[18:34] <Yaacov> i also used the Screens and Graphics configuration utility in System -> Administration
[18:34] <lesshaste> sendEmail it seems
[18:34] <brobostigon> i understoood it was ruled out that running a mail server was not recommended, and that he was recommneded to look at an alternative like hes isp email. or gmail isnted.
[18:34] <kleftisx> hello i have upgrade to 7.10 and now i don't have any taskbars. i have only the background and the icons! have anyone idea what is going wrong?
[18:35] <lesshaste> ikonia, should networking not be up in telinit 1?
[18:35] <AndrewSvet> kleftsix: This is just a guess, but maybe you need to center your monitor's image?
[18:35] <gcarrillo> hello
[18:35] <sebrock> ikonia: I'm not quite sure how to do that. I put in under User privilege specification: <myname>  ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
[18:35] <Yaacov> is there any kind of time out on a login session?
[18:35] <sebrock> is that correct?
[18:35] <Yaacov> and if so, where can I find the settings for it?
[18:36] <gcarrillo> is there a command I can run on a device to find out what type of filesystem is installed on it??
[18:36] <Pici> gcarrillo: if its mounted, fdisk -l
[18:36] <gcarrillo> nope, its not mounted
[18:36] <T1m0thy> kleftisx, press alt + f2 and type in gnome-panel, then press enter. If that doesn't work then I have no clue.

[18:37] <pike_> gcarrillo: mkfs.ext3 that sucker :)  you can also sudo fdisk /dev/sda or sudo cfdisk /dev/sda to see
[18:37] <bazhang> Ayabara: for use as a usb device?
[18:37] <kleftisx> AndrewSvet : no its ok with the monitor image
[18:37] <T1m0thy> kleftisx, ah, sorry. :/

[18:38] <strabes> is there a way to disable the case sensitivity of spell check in openoffice
[18:38] <Ayabara> bazhang: that is my wet dream, but so far I have only been able to use it thru mtp-support in amarok
[18:38] <alexbOrsova> when I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" i get "invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action 'reload' failed" ; does anyone know what that means?
[18:38] <pike_> gcarrillo: in solaris you can fstype i belive but i dont know if there is a similar command for linux

[19:11] <cox377> :P
[19:12] <cdeszaq> mirepoix: Depends on the use of the instalation. Server is different from different desktop setups
[19:12] <sebrock> how do I edit sudoers file so that my user can execute /etc/acpi/sleep.sh without sudo or password?
[19:12] <thyrax> I have set up samba but the 360 and ps3 don't use samba only xbmc
[19:12] <batma8> bazhang: i have tried everything,, every forum, and there others with the problem with my 7600 and no solution, after i enable the restricted driver, i get a blank screen
[19:12] <bazhang> mirepoix: transmission, gimp, k3b (kde) amarok, the list is too long haha
[19:12] <Jimmy__>  Pici -  i was checking my ssh. i tired to connect to my pc my self.  my login name is loguser1 . i gave the right password  ( provided that i am on lan for internet sharing and the ip was my server's ip.)
[19:12] <bazhang> what driver batma8?
[19:13] <Pici> Jimmy__: You are trying to connect to the same computer that your sshing from?
[19:13] <batma8> bazhang : when i boot to gutsy, i enable the restriced driver, after that reboot, i get a blank screen
[19:13] <bazhang> batma8: from the repos or from nvidia site
[19:13] <wy> Any ideas about setting up sound? I still have no sound in my 7.10
[19:13] <batma8> repos
[19:13] <komputes> Pici: at the bottom of what window?
[19:13] <Pici> komputes: the 'edit menu' window.
[19:13] <komputes> Pici: oh never mind
[19:13] <batma8> bazhang: which did you use
[19:13] <cursor> hey wondering if you could advise me on which proggramming language to learn on my ubuntu machine , i have touched on many languages and am able to write a simple program in most but was wondering which one youd advise me to learn , needs to be popular , easy to learn but i want to be able to do more advanced stuff aswell e.g. bluetooth programming thanks =)
[19:14] <bazhang> batma8: repos as well
[19:14] <Jimmy__> Pici yes
[19:14] <komputes> edit menu > revert, got it
[19:14] <iemptyi> anyone from the state?? my question is far out of ubuntu..
[19:14] <Jimmy__> Pici but the ip is of my server. iam client.
[19:14] <cdeszaq> Jimmy__: The only reason you would see those errors is if the password was incorrect
[19:14] <Pici> !offtopic | iemptyi
[19:14] <ubotu> iemptyi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:14] <batma8> bazhang: damn, maybe i just have an unsupported card, i found about 10 other forums with the exact same problem, not one sollution
[19:14] <juano__> i need to run an app under 8-bit mode, i need to tell the x server to change to 8-bit when that app launches, how can i achieve this ?
[19:14] <Pici> Jimmy__: I have a feeling that the ip address is not your server, or is not forwarded correctly.  try just a ssh 127.0.0.1
[19:15] <bazhang> 7600GT is not supported? that seems unlikely batma8
[19:15] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo why the prompt is loguser1@ip..            dont the client have to give id and pwd . both.. ?
[19:15] <cdeszaq> cursor: I would suggest learning JAVA, and/or Python. Both are strong languages, and very powerful.
[19:15] <bazhang> batma8: are you registered on freenode?
[19:15] <Pici> cursor: I suggest python for the new programmer.
[19:15] <wols_> cursor: python
[19:15] <batma8> bazhang : i am not
[19:15] <alexurc> python is awesome =)
[19:15] <sinthetek> does anyone have much understanding of how udev/device mapper/etc works? i'm having problem getting ubuntu to properly recognize/mount my home partition
[19:15] <komputes> what does it mean when i do a "man command | grep term" and get "Reformatting ssh(1), please wait...
[19:15] <komputes> "
[19:15] <godzirra> So I have this horrible problem I desperately need help with...
[19:15] <godzirra> Everytime I blow up an explosive block in lbreakout2, my game freezes just long enough for me to die.  Horrible no?  How do I fix this...
[19:15] <cursor> im not a new proggrammer i use pascal alot on windows and c rather alot on linux but want one to specialiese in
[19:16] <wols_> sinthetek: what's in your fstab?
[19:16] <bazhang> batma8: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic?
[19:16] <spideyman>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY guitar
[19:16] <Jimmy__> Pici - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48563/
[19:16] <Pici> spideyman: please change your password.
[19:16] <batma8> bazhang:i would love too
[19:16] <sinthetek> wols_: it was uuid but i commented it out and set to regular device file to try it
[19:16] <bazhang> batma8: see you there
[19:16] <cdeszaq> cursor: Go with java/python...python is a good, fast, flexible scripting lang, and Java is more of an app language, so you can choose the one that best fits
[19:16] <cursor> will i be able to do things like sayy use gnome / gtk+ in python and be able to do stuff like socket progrraming and bluetotth stuff?
[19:17] <Pici> Jimmy__: helo is a command for an smtp server, not something you would use when sshing into a server.
[19:17] <sinthetek> wols_: when i attempt to mount or run fsck it says device is alredy mounted or busy (though lsof, mtab and /proc reflect otherwise)
[19:17] <Jimmy__> Pici ya .but it woked. didnt it?
[19:17] <spideyman>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
[19:17] <sinthetek> wols_: i was able to mount and fsck it fine from debian rescue mode though
[19:17] <Pici> Jimmy__: yes.
[19:17] <rbanffy> Hi. Is there a way to install Python 2.3 on feisty?
[19:18] <Jimmy__> Pici so its the server fault?
[19:18] <Pici> spideyman: What are you doing?
[19:18] <sebrock> nothing happens even if I edit my sudoers file
[19:18] <sebrock> man
[19:18] <wols_> sinthetek: what does "mount" say?
[19:18] <Pici> Jimmy__: Whatever that IP address that you were trying to ssh into is either not correct or is not forwarded properly to your computer from the router.
[19:18] <spideyman> pici xchat all screwed up
[19:18] <wols_> rbanffy: check if older ubuntu versions have it and install it from there. LTS for example
[19:19] <Jimmy__> Pici you mean its not forwarding the port to me?
[19:19] <sinthetek> fstab: /dev/hda3        /home ext3 defaults 0 2
[19:19] <Pici> spideyman: you might want to try your commands in a status window so you dont put your password in this channel. again.
[19:19] <sinthetek> mount: /dev/hda3 already mounted or /home busy
[19:19] <rbanffy> wols_: From a CD?
[19:19] <Pici> Jimmy__: If I'm understanding what you are doing, yes.
[19:19] <wols_> rbanffy: no
[19:20] <rbanffy> wols_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.3/ seems empty
[19:20] <Jimmy__> pici so how can i solve my problem?
[19:20] <rbanffy> wols_: Any LTS packages should be there
[19:20] <sinthetek> mount with no options doesn't list home or hda3 (verified with grep as well in case imissed it)
[19:20] <meshanik> ?
[19:20] <Pici> Jimmy__: You are trying to ssh into your computer, right? the same one from which you are sshing from?
[19:20] <cursor> cdeszaq: will i be able to do more advance stuff in python like with gtk+ andd socket proggramming oo and bluetooth stuff haha ?
[19:21] <Jimmy__> Pici yes. that was for checking. but if someone else want to ssh my pc. how can it be done?
[19:21] <spideyman> pici its changed anyway
[19:21] <Pici> Jimmy__: you need to forward port 22 from your router to your computer's ip.
[19:21] <sinthetek> at first i thought power flux/outtage yesterday really corrupted fs but then debian fsck didn't report any errors and i could access everythingfine
[19:21] <barongas> I just installed 7.10 and when I was about to edit fstab to add another partition I noticed that my main partitions where commented out and it doesn't seem to run fstab at all. Haven't been using linux since 6.06, anything I missed?
[19:21] <ericvw> !factoids
[19:21] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[19:22] <sinthetek> i think i may just go ahead and reinstall
[19:22] <Pici> Jimmy__: see portforward.com on how to do that.
[19:22] <cdeszaq> cursor: I believe python has hooks into those other, more low level features, but I am not sure. If you are experienced in C, then C++ may not be a bad idea
[19:22] <sebrock> I need some help, I've added myselft to sudoers file but still get permission denied when trying to use the command!!
[19:22] <spideyman> xchat is typing in all open windows
[19:22] <cdeszaq> In Gutsy, what does setting the Domain name field under the General tab of the NEtwork Settings dialog do? ex. If I set it to bob.net, what does it alow me to do?
[19:23] <alexbOrsova> \
[19:23] <wols_> rbanffy: last resort: use debian packages. sarge should have 2.3 if not older debian versions surely do :)
[19:23] <cursor> cdezaq : is python well documented i want something with easy to understand documentation i tried doing bluetooth programming in c but not many tuts.
[19:23] <wols_> cursor: there are no tuts for BT programming afaik. in any language
[19:23] <rbanffy> wols_: I am considering the Debian route. It shouldn't be hard to find a 1.5 version this way ;-)
[19:23] <Jimmy__> what can i do with telnet?
[19:24] <wols_> rbanffy: why so old versions?
[19:24] <wols_> cursor: http://www.google.com/search?q=python+bluetooth&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[19:24] <Pici> Jimmy__: telnet is insecure.
[19:24] <rbanffy> wols_: I need to bring up a Zope 2.8 instance on my notebook.
[19:24] <Pici> s/insecure/unsecure/
[19:24] <void^> cursor: there's python-gtk2 and python-bluez, see http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez
[19:24] <sinthetek> anyone know off hand mysqldump syntax to dump all dbs? mysqldump -u user -p > *.* mysql.sql?
[19:24] <rbanffy> wols_: It won't run on 2.4 or 2.5 (not even Zope 3 runs on 2.5)
[19:24] <komputes> Jimmy__: to change the password you type "passwd" at the prompt, but i guess that doesn't help much since you can't get in
[19:24] <ikonia> sinthetek: mysqldump is a per database tool
[19:25] <ericvw> !dvd
[19:25] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs

[19:25] <sinthetek> oh, ok

[19:27] <liquidfiree> anyone got experience with x-chat?
[19:27] <macogw> liquidfiree: a bit
[19:27] <ikonia> liquidfiree: what is the question
[19:28] <liquidfiree> Is it possible for me to change my nick at ALL networks, at once?
[19:28] <ikonia> liquidfiree: I don't think so
[19:28] <FremontC> Hello, I am attempting to develop a USB application using libusb (cvs) on Ubuntu 6.06, kernel 2.6.15.7. Are there know problems with this combo? I get 'Operation not permitted' error messages.
[19:28] <barongas> Any reason why the boot and swap partitions are commented out in fstab? Fresh install...
[19:28] <ikonia> liquidfiree: it's a per network change
[19:28] <wy> What can I do if I got the error : ** (gnome-sound-properties:7413): CRITICAL **: Your OSS device could not be probed correctly
[19:28] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo -cant access ssh on my pc. (iam using internet sharing from a server on lan)
[19:28] <liquidfiree> Alright, =)
[19:28] <ikonia> FremontC: what operation
[19:28] <tekata> help
[19:28] <boobsbr> howdy, i'm trying to encript a file with gpg, but i can't seem to use the "--passphrase" option correctly, i'm trying to do make a bash script, does anyone know how to do this?
[19:29] <FremontC> ikonia, libusb's 'make check' and others
[19:29] <ikonia> FremontC: why are you doing "make check" as libusb is already installed on ubuntu
[19:29] <sinthetek> here we go, --all-databases
[19:29] <Fisher> Hello!!!
[19:29] <ikonia> FremontC: libusb comes package for ubuntu
[19:29] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: you can't connect to your pc via ssh from another computer or you can't connect to other computers from your pc via ssh?
[19:29] <Fisher> I have a problem with nvidia driver
[19:29] <ElementalBelief> so no one has seen anything like my problem?
[19:30] <oussema> i cant make a mysql connection with qt4 ,although mysql works very well ? and i verified the sysntax several times any ideas
[19:30] <alexbOrsova> cd /var/log/
[19:30] <Fisher> every time I start my system I need to reinstall the driver, else the X wont start
[19:30] <alexbOrsova> whoops, sorry. wrong keyboard :)
[19:30] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo i tried to connect to my pc. by giving the servers ip (as on internet. my ip = server's ip) and it failed to login. pwed incorect
[19:30] <auth> ikonia How do I manually change irq # under linux?
[19:30] <ikonia> auth: apci does it for you
[19:30] <wols_> auth: you can't
[19:30] <ikonia> auth: or the bios does
[19:31] <wols_> ikonia: what is apci? *g*
[19:31] <tparcina> thunderbird 2.0, where can I download deb package for Ubuntu 7.04?
[19:31] <ikonia> wols_: cheeky ;)
[19:31] <FremontC> ikonia, I believe the 6.06 libusb package is 0.1.12, which is obsolescent? I have installed libusb0.1.13 cvs, and am getting error with that
[19:31] <wols_> and I dunno about you ikonia but in my PC the PCI BIOS assigns IRQs
[19:31] <ikonia> FremontC: why
[19:31] <ikonia> wols_: acpi can assign
[19:31] <FremontC> ikonia, why I get the error is the question.
[19:31] <ikonia> FremontC: why do you need .13
[19:32] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: so you are trying to connect to your pc from another computer on the network?
[19:32] <wols_> ikonia: how? what function?
[19:32] <ikonia> wols_: god knows, I'm no acpi wizzard
[19:32] <ikonia> wols_: plug and play really
[19:33] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo yup.. but the pc tring to connect my pc is not on network. its on internet
[19:33] <FremontC> ikonia, Because from my readings about libusb, 0.1.12 is obsolescent, and appears not to have the commands to talk to devices. the cvs version does.
[19:33] <ikonia> FremontC: should do
[19:33] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: so, you are trying to connect to you're pc from another computer that is not on the same network?
[19:34] <keydell> hi
[19:34] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo yes
[19:34] <mcrisnidh> hello, anyone? i need to conect my amule... im an ubuntu user.
[19:34] <keydell> I just downloaded the new ATI driver Linux version from ATI.com and it is a .run I do not know how to install it
[19:35] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: can you at least connect to your pc, or does it timeout?
[19:35] <Pici> keydell: Is there a reason you are not using the Restricted Driver provided by Ubuntu?
[19:35] <FremontC> ikonia, Are you stating that Dapper Drake 6.06 comes with the LATEST libusb, with full documentation, all working?
[19:35] <keydell> yes because my card is not supported by that driver
[19:35] <keydell> it is too knew
[19:35] <mcrisnidh> :'(
[19:35] <keydell> new
[19:35] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo when i ssh localhost     or ssh 127.0.0.1         . it does connects.
[19:36] <ikonia> FremontC: no, I'm saying it comes with a stable packaged version which should be used for deployment on the 6.06 platform
[19:36] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: but from another computer that is not on the same network, what happens
[19:36] <FremontC> ikonia, OK. Well that fits. Its an old version. Maybe stabel, but lacks a lot of utility.
[19:36] <keydell> is it possible to run the installer from ati.com? they say it is for linux but my ubuntu does not understand .run
[19:37] <ikonia> FremontC: no point developing on later versions not shipped with ubuntu
[19:37] <Smeki> #macedonia
[19:37] <alexbOrsova> when linux is booting, what is happening right before gdm is launched?
[19:38] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo pwd inconrect.     (for a start... to check. i tried to connect to ssh 116.71.183.228     . thats the servers internet ip. and is visible on my whois too.)
[19:38] <boobsbr> howdy, i'm trying to encript a file with gpg, but i can't seem to use the "--passphrase" option correctly, i'm trying to do make a bash script, does anyone know how to do this?
[19:38] <FremontC> ikonia, does any later ubuntu version (than 6.06) have the later libusb version?
[19:38] <ikonia> FremontC: I believe so
[19:38] <Smeki> is this a chat canal
[19:38] <Smeki> ?
[19:38] <Smeki> anyone
[19:38] <Smeki> ?
[19:38] <thefirstdude> does ubuntu come with something to extract .jars
[19:38] <keydell> anyone out there know how to enable my ubuntu to open .run installers?
[19:38] <mikebeecham> when I try to edit the menu....ubuntu just hangs...can anyone tell me why?
[19:38] <Pici> Smeki: No, this is the Offical Ubuntu Support Channel.
[19:39] <Smeki> oko
[19:39] <alexbOrsova> smeki you need to type "/join #macedonie"
[19:39] <FremontC> ikonia, waht ubuntu version has the later libusb version?
[19:39] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: when you connect is it asking you for a username or just a password
[19:39] <alexbOrsova> or macedonia
[19:39] <tparcina> can I install Gutsy deb package on Feisty?
[19:39] <Pici> keydell: chmod +x filename.run then `sudo  ./filename.run`
[19:39] <void^> thefirstdude: unzip
[19:39] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo just password
[19:39] <keydell> thanks
[19:39] <ikonia> FremontC: 7.10 at a guess
[19:40] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know how I would go about fixing a blank screen on a laptop with ubuntu installed?
[19:40] <FremontC> ikonia, OK Ty.
[19:40] <ikonia> FremontC: welcome
[19:40] <keydell> wow cool
[19:40] <JJackson> Hi! Im having a problem installing ubuntu 7.1 amd64.  After i tell it too start ubuntu/install it goes to a black screen
[19:41] <JJackson> it looks like its still reading the CD for a while, but then it does nothing
[19:41] <Pici> Jimmy__: Are you sure that ssh is being forwarded from your router to your computer?
[19:41] <alexbOrsova> JJackson: are you trying thison a laptop?
[19:41] <keydell> omg i luv you guys and this channel thank you soooo much
[19:41] <JJackson> No but im on a LCD
[19:41] <JJackson> core 2 duo, samsung syncmaster 226BW widescreen 22" LCD
[19:41] <alexbOrsova> JJackson: what graphics card are you using?
[19:41] <tumbleweed__> JJackson : does it happen after the keymap autodetection?
[19:41] <JJackson> nvidia 8800GTS
[19:41] <Jimmy__> Pici no. and i would like to know a way to be sure.
[19:42] <s2a> can sum1 plz tell me y firestarter or wtv the firewall app is called again sees my wireless card as ra1 and is not active??
[19:42] <feierfox> does anyone know about iPod Nano and ubuntu?
[19:42] <tumbleweed__> when does the black screen happen, JJackson?
[19:42] <tparcina> 7.10 package on 7.04. Will it work? Will I have any problems?
[19:42] <tumbleweed__> what point during the install, I mean.
[19:42] <Slart> !ipod | feierfox
[19:42] <ubotu> feierfox: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[19:42] <JJackson> right after i press enter on the initial menu to tell it to start ubuntu
[19:42] <tumbleweed__> tparcina : look for a backport instead
[19:42] <ikonia> tparcina: not advisable
[19:42] <tumbleweed__> JJackson : try the alternate install cd
[19:43] <Slart> feierfox: I don't know if the nano is different from the other ipods
[19:43] <Pici> Jimmy__: you need to look up your router on http://www.portforward.com and look for yourself.
[19:43] <tumbleweed__> you may have more luck with it
[19:43] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: try this, when you connect to your pc, type the command like this 'ssh <username>@<ip_address>' where 'username' is your username on your pc and '<ip_address>' is the ip address of the server you want to connect to, for instance if I wanted to connect my computer and it's ip was '222.333.444.555' and my username on my computer was 'cdecarlo' I would connect to it with 'ssh cdecarlo@222.333.444.555'
[19:43] <tumbleweed__> or safe graphics mode
[19:43] <JJackson> how do i tell it to do safe graphics mode
[19:43] <feierfox> thansk
[19:43] <tumbleweed__> there should be an option for it on the live cd
[19:43] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: I need thunderbird 2.0 for 7.04, do you have any sugestion?
[19:43] <JJackson> ok
[19:43] <JJackson> thank you
[19:43] <spideyman> thats better finally xchat works
[19:43] <JJackson> i will try it
[19:43] <tumbleweed__> one second tparcina
[19:43] <profanephobia> how do i restart nautilus without restarting x?
[19:43] <tparcina> ikonia: then how can I install Thunderbird 2.0 on 7.04?
[19:44] <ikonia> tparcina: wait for a backport

[19:46] <ikonia> Jimmy__: password wrong
[19:46] <Pici> Jimmy__: Did you follow my advice to check out portforward.com?
[19:46] <ikonia> feierfox: join #apple
[19:47] <Jimmy__> Pici yes. but thats for server admin. iam a client
[19:47] <tijn>  /j #kubuntu
[19:47] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: is loguser1 your username on your pc and is 116.71.183.228 the ip address of your pc
[19:47] <s2a> feierfox: 2nd gen i think is 2,4, and 8 gb
[19:47] <tijn> oops
[19:47] <Pici> Jimmy__: You are running a server though.
[19:47] <wols_> Jimmy__: alexbOrsova your TSC in your CPU is fubar. are you inside VMWare?
[19:48] <alexbOrsova> no
[19:48] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: thank you for link. Unfortunately they haven't backported Thunderbird 2.0 yet :(
[19:48] <wols_> alexbOrsova: on what hardware does it run then?
[19:48] <alexbOrsova> im trying to install xubuntu on my laptop and this is the last line in th elog file before my computer crashes
[19:48] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo yes. loguser1 is my username. on my pc.
[19:48] <tparcina> ikonia: I gues so, but It+s long time waiting
[19:48] <ikonia> tparcina: upgrade to gutsy then
[19:48] <wols_> alexbOrsova: use notsc kernel parameter
[19:49] <ikonia> tparcina: gusty even
[19:49] <ikonia> gutsy
[19:49] <tumbleweed__> tparcina : nothing you can really do but upgrade to gutsy or wait for a backport
[19:49] <Jimmy__> 116.... is not my ip... its the servers internet ip...... and indirectly its mine. whois me......        my lan ip is 192.168.3.175
[19:49] <alexbOrsova> btw, my computer boots just fine when I use the (recovery mode) option from grub
[19:49] <cdecarlo> and 116.71.183.228 is the ip address
[19:49] <wols_> ikonia: upgrading to gutsy from dapper is kinda iffy
[19:49] <Jimmy__> Pici yes. iam runing server for ssh
[19:49] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: and 116.71.183.228 is the ip address
[19:49] <Pici> Jimmy__: Do you have a router?
[19:49] <tumbleweed__> tparcina : you can also try the gutsy deb, but it's possible that you'll get conflicts
[19:49] <ikonia> wols_: he is on 7.04
[19:49] <Jimmy__> Pici iam not runing my lan server. .. iam a client
[19:49] <ikonia> wols_: or so he said
[19:49] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: ikonia: yes, I'll probably upgrade in next few days
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> alright
[19:50] <Jimmy__> wols_ no.. iam on lan.
[19:50] <gilster> need help. I got a large PDF that was scanned from a document. How can i OCR this into OO text???
[19:50] <Pici> Jimmy__: You said it yourself that you want other people to be able to ssh into you.
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> I'm actually using hoary right now, it's quite stable for an alpha
[19:50] <s2a> does any1 here no wat "not active" is for a device in ubuntu and how do i make sumtin active/
[19:50] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: ikonia: I should firs read some instructions and find out will I experiance any problems then try to upgrade
[19:50] <wols_> tumbleweed__: hoary?
[19:50] <Jimmy__> wols_ whats alexbOrsova your TSC in your CPU is fubar. ............. ?
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> errr
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> hardy
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> crap
[19:50] <tumbleweed__> I always mix them up ;/
[19:50] <alexbOrsova> jimmy: what?
[19:51] <Jimmy__> Pici my server must be having a router.. i gues
[19:51] <spideyman> i forget which file i can change my monitor setting in I remember using a text editor though
[19:51] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: but if the installation goes fine than everything will work fine?
[19:51] <alexbOrsova> jimmy: vista which is also installed on this laptop works just fine
[19:51] <Jimmy__> Pici yes... i want others to ssh me
[19:51] <wols_> spideyman: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:51] <mikeooo> where is the compiz config flat file?
[19:51] <tumbleweed__> tparcina : for gutsy?
[19:51] <mikeooo> need to edit it manually
[19:51] <yukmcnasty> #ubuntu-us-ak
[19:51] <tumbleweed__> uhhhh
[19:51] <tumbleweed__> yeah, it should
[19:51] <yukmcnasty> oops...
[19:51] <nickname> what reasonable method would you guys use to put some text on the side of a cup more or less permanently?
[19:51] <Pici> Jimmy__: A router is a hardware device that your connection from your ISP plugs into. Perhaps its in your cable/dsl modem.
[19:51] <spideyman> wols thanx thats the one
[19:52] <tumbleweed__> probably the worst thing that will happen is thunderbird won't work
[19:52] <Pici> Jimmy__: I highly suspect that is what is causing the issue.
[19:52] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: no, for thunderbird package. If I install 7.10 on 7.04 and instalation goes fine, than I shouldn't have any problems later?
[19:52] <wwalker> I've installed flashplugin-nonfree (yesterday, so I've already rebooted) and flash doesn't work in firefox.  anything else I need to do?
[19:52] <mikebeecham> this is p******* me off...my ubuntu is going up the wall...now it wont let me close down
[19:52] <tumbleweed__> tparcina : not any major ones
[19:53] <tumbleweed__> worst that could happen is thunderbird won't work
[19:53] <Jimmy__> Pici yes. i think the same...
[19:53] <tparcina> tumbleweed__: thank you, you helped me much
[19:53] <tumbleweed__> no problem, it was my pleasure
[19:53] <notv> for some reason, ubuntu freezes if i try to restart
[19:53] <Jimmy__> Pici yes. i think the same... but what can be done. how can i make sure that its the server that is causing problem
[19:53] <alexbOrsova> what are the shortcuts for grub to add boot options from the menu
[19:53] <boobsbr> can anyone help with a GPG problem? trying to encript a tar file using the --passphrase option
[19:54] <Pici> Jimmy__: you need to get access to your router and forward the port to your computer.
[19:54] <Pici> Jimmy__: Its not an ubuntu issue.
[19:54] <JJackson> Still no luck.. safe mode doesnt work
[19:54] <feierfox> will the final ahrdy contain Firefox 3.x?
[19:54] <JJackson> I see it do the keymap deal, then the screen goes black.  ( tried my 19" CRT too no change)
[19:55] <Pici> feierfox: Depends on how stable it is by the time it comes out.  Presumably if we dont, we'll offer it as a separate package.
[19:55] <tumbleweed__> it's already offered as a seperate package in hardy
[19:55] <var> hello
[19:55] <Pici> tumbleweed__: indeed, but thats in gutsy as well.
[19:56] <var> im having some trouble getting my nvidia card working
[19:56] <tumbleweed__> meh
[19:56] <var> i got restricted drivers enabled
[19:56] <var> but there doesn't seem to be any increase in performance
[19:56] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: what type of network is this anyways, home/work/school ...?
[19:56] <alexbOrsova> what is a segmentation afult?
[19:56] <Jimmy__> Pici ok.. can it be done without access to server?
[19:56] <magic_ninja> how do i restart the sound server
[19:57] <mirak> is there a graphical way to share files with apache ~/public_html/ way ?
[19:57] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo none of that. its commercial local lan. for internet.. like a small isp
[19:57] <brobostigon> no idea mirak
[19:57] <var> i could use some help if someone is willing: i can't get my wireless card or my nvidia card working under the new ubuntu
[19:57] <var> of course, the wireless didn't work in the last version either
[19:57] <var> but i digress
[19:57] <alexbOrsova> var: what graphics card do you have?
[19:58] <var> geforce 7800 gs
[19:58] <nickname> whats the offtopic chan for this?
[19:58] <var> it is AGP but is showing up as PCI
[19:58] <Pici> nickname: #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:58] <magic_ninja> argh i have no sound
[19:58] <nickname> thanks
[19:58] <alexbOrsova> var: I've been here for at least three hours and I've already heard of 5 problems all with nvidia geforce cards (including me)
[19:58] <Pici> Jimmy__: I'm not sure if your network is setup like that that you even have a router to get at.
[19:58] <magic_ninja> it was working fine
[19:58] <var> alexbOrsova: wowwww bummer
[19:58] <cdecarlo> alexbOrsova: from what I can remember from school a seg fault occurs when you try to access memory you don't own, at least that's what caused all my seg faults
[19:59] <alexbOrsova> var: is the installation working?
[19:59] <Pici> Jimmy__: you might want to ask the person who administrates the network.
[19:59] <alexbOrsova> cdecarlo: thanks
[19:59] <var> alexbOrsova: as in, the installation of the restricted driver?
[19:59] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo pici - all   am asking is. is there a way to check.. from my pc (client side) that which ports are forwarded by my server and which not.. ?
[19:59] <alexbOrsova> var: no, the version of linux you're using
[19:59] <aolaus> hello, my monitor keeps adjusting its brightness
[19:59] <var> alexbOrsova: yea it seems to be working fine
[19:59] <aolaus> can someone help me correct the problem?
[19:59] <Pro1> hi, ive just installed amarok, and it keeps hanging and crashing on me, anyone got amarok running smooth in ubuntu (gnome) ?
[19:59] <var> i just grabbed the latest ubuntu
[19:59] <alexbOrsova> var: I've been trying to install ubuntu/xubuntu for five hours now with no success
[19:59] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: no
[19:59] <var> ubuntu is up and running just fine
[20:00] <alexbOrsova> var: so did you manage to nstall ubuntu?
[20:00] <Pici> Jimmy__: Not really, you could do an `nmap ipaddress`, but you wouldnt be able to tell where the ports were being forwarded to.
[20:00] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo no way. no app.. ?
[20:00] <alexbOrsova> oh ok
[20:00] <var> alexbOrsova: yeah
[20:00] <var> it's just the peripherals that are all borked to hell
[20:00] <elephanthunter> The system bell doesn't work on Ubuntu for me. Is there a way to replace the bell with a WAV or fix it?
[20:00] <alexbOrsova> var: so then , what do oyu need help with
[20:00] <Digital_Warrior> any one around today
[20:00] <alexbOrsova> var: did you try to install the proprietary drivers?
[20:00] <Jimmy__> Pici - ok. but can i check which ports are forwarded to MY pc.. my lan ip is 175
[20:00] <var> alexbOrsova: no i didn't
[20:00] <var> i don't really know how to do that
[20:00] <alexbOrsova> var: try that
[20:01] <var> i just want my computer to not act all laggy
[20:01] <sebrock> Need help to edit the sudoers file to let me run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh from any user
[20:01] <LudeJim> I have found amarok to continually update the music colllection. i you go into your settings and go to collection you can change how it updates. it seemed to work for me, but amarok is very slow
[20:01] <mikebeecham> can anyone help...I've lost the application menu within my menu panel.  I can get it back via debconf gnome-panel, but the moment I reboot it is gone again.  Places and System are there ok, just not applications?
[20:01] <Digital_Warrior> Does any one know how to set the pass code to bluetooth in 7.10
[20:01] <Pici> Jimmy__: no, like I said, there isnt really a way to check what ports are being forwarded where through a NAT (network address translation).
[20:01] <alexbOrsova> var: well, if you're using the default gnome desktop: System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers
[20:02] <Pro1> !amarok
[20:02] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.7 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[20:02] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: do you meant 192.168.xxx.175?
[20:02] <alexbOrsova> *Restricted Drivers Manager sorry
[20:02] <LudeJim> Can anyone help with connecting an ipod. I'm on ubuntu 7.10
[20:02] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo yes
[20:02] <alexbOrsova> var: did that help?
[20:03] <var> alexbOrsova: hm, i found the proprietary option under a screens/graphics
[20:03] <cdecarlo> LudeJim: banshee does that, from what I can understand it's like iTunes for Linux
[20:03] <var> where you set the card
[20:03] <var> is geforce 7 series the driver that would encompass 7800?
[20:03] <alexbOrsova> var: I would guess so...
[20:03] <mikebeecham> can anyone help...I've lost the application menu within my menu panel.  I can get it back via debconf gnome-panel, but the moment I reboot it is gone again.  Places and System are there ok, just not applications?
[20:04] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: the router you're behind decides what traffic goes to your computer, you have to talk to your network administrator, there's no getting around it
[20:05] <sebrock> AArggg, sudoers wont work for some reason
[20:05] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know exactly what happens after the splash screen (progressbar) is done during booting?
[20:05] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo - pici  ic.. i thought there would be  a software that could send requests to the server ip and then sees on which port does that request come to my pc... if the request comes to my pc from a specific port. that means that port IS forwarded....  do i have the right approach?
[20:06] <auth> There is a new KDE version, which is KDE4 ... what about GNOME? Any new version for GNOME?
[20:06] <s2a> HELP!! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=621431 Firestarter problem
[20:07] <Pici> Jimmy__: You have the right approach, but thats easier said than done.
[20:07] <brobostigon> gnome 2.2.1
[20:07] <Aleph> I read that pastebin can do screenshots, but I don't see how?
[20:07] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: you can try disabling usplash and then you can see what is happening. text will scroll telling you what is being loaded.
[20:07] <brobostigon> 2.20.1
[20:07] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: and thn my screen goes blank and I still don't know what's going on
[20:08] <Jimmy__> Pici and i gues theres no such app?
[20:08] <alexbOrsova> *then
[20:08] <javatexan> Howdy all!!  I have set up ubuntu desktop.  I can get CUPS printing to work find for my other computer...a mac.  I am trying to setup nfs for it too, I used google to find a process on the community docs.  It looks like everything is set up on ubuntu....On the mac...I can port scan and see the nfs daemon running, but I cant connect to it....any ideas on where to go next
[20:08] <Pici> Jimmy__: Not that I'm aware of.
[20:08] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me how to change ownership of a directory from root back to user?
[20:08] <bsdunix> can someone here help me with simple redirect / filtering problem?
[20:08] <bsdunix> mikebeecham:  try man chown, man chmod.
[20:08] <brobostigon> mikebeecham: cant you do that in nautilus
[20:08] <alexbOrsova> mikebeecham: sudo chown username:usergroup directory
[20:09] <mikebeecham> oh crumbs....I didnt realise it was that difficult
[20:09] <mikebeecham> :(
[20:09] <Aleph> /w aleph test
[20:09] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: can you hear the ubuntu login sound?
[20:09] <colerbear> hello my laptop has no sound. i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto    to manually specify module parameters. the command   cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec  says not found. HALP!
[20:09] <mikebeecham> I am having problems with my menu bar, and I read that someone had the same problem...changed ownership and it was fune
[20:09] <mikebeecham> fine**
[20:09] <bsdunix> mikebeecham: after some use, it is easily practiced without thought
[20:09] <Jimmy__> l
[20:09] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: no, but then again sound doesn't work at all
[20:09] <Jimmy__> k
[20:10] <javatexan> Oh...I also added a user on the ubuntu to match the user on the mac
[20:10] <alexbOrsova> on my computer
[20:10] <mikebeecham> bsdunix...I've only been using linux about 2 weeks...and I think I am getting myself confused,  I have an issue, but dont know how to resolve it
[20:10] <colerbear> hello my laptop has no sound. i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto    to manually specify module parameters. the command   cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec  says not found. HALP!   HAALP!
[20:10] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: if I use the recovery option in grub, then type "gdm" I can get in
[20:10] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: did you try to reconfigure your display drivers?
[20:11] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: however, the default option ends up in a blank screen
[20:11] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and that fails
[20:11] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:11] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: but I know it's not my drivers because if I type 'startx' x starts up just fine
[20:12] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: and I tried that too (xserver-)
[20:12] <bsdunix> mikebeecham: okay. open a terminal,if file is in your home, cd /home/name
[20:12] <javatexan> I have x-win32...what do i need to search for to set my ubuntu box up to allow me to connect via that?  SSH of course  ;)
[20:12] <bsdunix> if it's on your desktop, cd /home/name/Desktop
[20:12] <mikebeecham> bsdunix...I dont know what file I need to access though
[20:12] <mikebeecham> it's quite complicated, I'm afraid
[20:12] <boubbin> when im creating a new connection with ssh, is it possible to specify the password in the ssh command somehow ? i know this is a security leak :)
[20:13] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: check your logs for any errors.  if you don't find any, remove "usplash" and "quiet" from your kernel line in grub so you can see what is happening.
[20:13] <ekimus> !automatix
[20:13] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[20:13] <colerbear> can anyone help me
[20:14] <bsdunix> boubbin: there are different meant of authentication, as a whole, just disallow remote root login
[20:14] <mikebeecham> bsdunix...I have lost the applications section of my menu bar...all I get when i click on it is a very small white square.   I am trying to find out why
[20:14] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I've been checking logs for an hour now (really): which ones would you suggest I make sure to look at? I've also tried removing "quiet" and "splash" which doesn't help because there are no errors reported

[20:15] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: If I'm thinking correctly, such an application would get caught in a catch 22, it's got to send data, from off the network, to your router across a range of ports, then report to your pc, which is on the network, which packets made it through and it's got to keep track of which port it sent the data to and which port it was received on, it can't be done with one machine and it can't easily be done with two or more because inorder to sh
[20:15] <cdecarlo> are data with eachother they've got to talk to eachother which is what the application is meant to do in the first place

[20:16] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: what am I looking for?
[20:17] <pike_> javatexan: welcome :)
[20:17] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: because I've already checked this one from start to end several times
[20:17] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo yes. but how to do it. what app?
[20:17] <renato> ????
[20:17] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: you can see I haveb't solved ym problems yet :(
[20:17] <knut> Hi all:-)
[20:17] <javatexan> any nfs gurus in the house today?
[20:17] <mikebeecham> bsdunix...yeah, well it's a strange one...I like a challenge, but I can only access my applications via run application (alt + f2) so it's annoying at the moment
[20:18] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: would it help if I pastebin it?
[20:18] <bsdunix> boubbin: the sudo thingy is good to use over ssh. ssh is encrypted. if you think your user passwd is compromised, that's no issue
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: do you have that link for your xorg
[20:18] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: I don't think anyone would have the patience to create such an application, to my knowledge it doesn't exist, there is a much easier solution, talk to your network admin
[20:18] <alexbOrsova> I don't think I have it anymore, hold on
[20:18] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo ic.. ok
[20:18] <crazyman> k guys , i installed 7zip from the add/remove, but how can i run it after?
[20:19] <var> so my nvidia drivers seem to be providing ample support for my video card
[20:19] <var> yet my mouse moves incredibly sluggishly
[20:19] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow and BarryToeman: here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48553/
[20:19] <piroko> crazyman: 7z
[20:19] <bsdunix> mikebeecham: i think there are some issues w/ xorg +gtk2 recently
[20:19] <ifireball> javatexan: I'm no guru, but got to play with nfs a lot...
[20:19] <var> its not a mouse issue, its an issue with either the video or mouse driver i think
[20:19] <var> i cant figure out why its acting like this
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: do you have that link for your grub as well
[20:19] <crazyman> piroko, how can i figure out things like that? like when I install applications how do i know where they go or how to run them
[20:19] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo by the way. i heard that if i make an ssh tunnel from my pc to the server. it can be done to forward ports of any range.  through that tunnel. without configuring the router..? is that right
[20:19] <renato> anyone knows about the Load_Cycle_Count???
[20:20] <javatexan> I have set up ubuntu desktop. I can get CUPS printing to work find for my other computer...a mac. I am trying to setup nfs for it too, I used google to find a process on the community docs. It looks like everything is set up on ubuntu....On the mac...I can port scan and see the nfs daemon running, but I cant connect to it....any ideas on where to go next?....Where to search next?
[20:20] <Slart> renato: nothing on google?
[20:20] <mikebeecham> bsdunix: thanks
[20:20] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: never posted my grub, I just typed it in here
[20:20] <var> the mouse is "jumping"
[20:20] <var> what could cause this
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[20:20] <wems> would i be able to run like WoW in linux by using Wine?
[20:20] <bsdunix> crazyman: try find-utils locate .. locate is cool.
[20:20] <alexbOrsova> one sec
[20:21] <Slart> wems: check the application database.. appdb.winehq.org .. but I think the answer is yes
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: no need for full uuid's
[20:21] <renato> Slart, many things but no one is good...
[20:21] <javatexan> could it be the firewall....i don't see any rules in it.....then how does the port scanner find the nfsd if the firewall is blocking?  :(
[20:21] <ifireball> javatexan: are you exporting any filesystems on Ubuntu? does showmount -e show you what it should?
[20:21] <piroko> crazyman: I forget the command now, but you can always use packages.ubuntu.com
[20:21] <alexbOrsova> to copy files you use the cp command, right?
[20:21] <javatexan> ill try....hold on
[20:21] <piroko> alexbOrsova: yes
[20:21] <renato> Slart, the deal is, my hard disk has 157987,,, and i'm woried about it...
[20:22] <Optimus55> i have a question, my drive only lets me create 4 primary partiions. i had to erase my ubuntu swap partition so i could create another one for fedora 8. now ubuntu doesnt even show up in grub
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)       as example
[20:22] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__:  I don't have much experience with tunnels, sounds like a VPN, which your network admin would have to set up, talk to your network admin
[20:22] <crazyman> piroko is locate an app or a command?
[20:22] <Optimus55> can i just recreate the swap partition and somehow fix grub?
[20:22] <boubbin> bsdunix so i need to store my keays to the remote machine and then it does not require a password anymore ?
[20:22] <Slart> renato: from the google hits it seems load_cycle_count is the number of times the hard drive heads have been parked.. is it on a laptop?
[20:22] <bsdunix> crazyman: whereis, find, which... all prety much useless compared to locate, regarding this. you gotta run it's update script as a non-root user after momentarily adjusting permissions
[20:22] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: I know, im working on it (got the hang of mount by now :) )
[20:22] <jose> I'm trying to programatically change the title of a gnome-terminal, I've tried echo -e '\E]0;mytitle\a' but it does not work, any ideas how I can do this?
[20:22] <ifireball> javatexan: nfs uses quite a few ports, except nfsd you also got mountd, lockd and portmap to name a few
[20:22] <piroko> crazyman: an app and a command are the same thing :-/
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Optimus55: Ou can create all the logical partitions you want in the extended partition although only 4 primary
[20:22] <freazer> My AMD X2 dual core system does not seem to be using both CPUs constantly. I have a screenshot of my CPU usage that shows load is alternating back and forth from one to the other. Is this normal? If the screenshot would help, what is a good service to temporarily post screenshots?
[20:22] <bryand> Hello, anyone have a moment to help with the install of an application that is not available via apt-get?
[20:23] <renato> Slart, yep....
[20:23] <bsdunix> boubbin: i think there are apps and alternative means of authentication for you to try
[20:23] <Slart> freazer: same thing here.. alternating sometimes
[20:23] <crazyman> lol ok :(
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> bryand: best to go through the docs from wherever you get that non-repo app
[20:23] <Slart> renato: well. .every time the hard drive goes to sleep, it parks the heads.. I don't think you have to worry about it
[20:23] <piroko> crazyman: When you run a command, you are merely launching an "app" or a program or a binary, whatever you wnat to call it
[20:23] <renato> Slart, find a problem related to it... and i don't know how to fix it...
[20:23] <javatexan> looks good its exporting the two directories and it looks like it is opening it up to my 2 lans  xxx.xxx.7.0/255.255.255.0 and xxx.xxx.8.0/255.255.255.0
[20:23] <bryand> Well I did, and ran sudo ./configure and am getting errors
[20:24] <var> fixed it!
[20:24] <Slart> renato: you're having problems with the hard drive?
[20:24] <bsdunix> boubbin: apps that, yes, actually perform this task you describe
[20:24] <var> had to put the mouse in a different port!
[20:24] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo ok
[20:24] <var> now my machine is beautifully running!
[20:24] <piroko> bryand: You shouldn't run configure as root. Only make install as root
[20:24] <mirak> joomla is not in ubuntu ?
[20:24] <pike_> Optimus55: its possible removing the new partition will fix it i suppose. thats one of the reasons i always mean to save my partitions table info. logical partitions are the way to go usually to avoid that its usually just things like windows that cant handle em
[20:24] <bsdunix> var: for now
[20:24] <boubbin> bsdunix so im on a right track, thanks.
[20:24] <renato> Slart, no, it's ok... but....
[20:24] <bsdunix> boubbin:  np.
[20:24] <var> haha bsdunix yeah
[20:24] <var> now if i can just get my fucking ralink card working
[20:24] <Take0n> why can't I paste from documents folder tou usr\bin\share\someprog
[20:24] <Take0n> ?
[20:24] <bryand> ok, just tried that and get same error...
[20:24] <javatexan> ifireball: There are several other ports open....my port scanner doesnt give them names though
[20:24]  * var remembers spending a week trying to fix that last time
[20:24] <bryand> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler
[20:24] <bryand>  cannot create executables
[20:24] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: here's my Xorg.0.log file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48575/  and here is my menu.lst file:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48576/
[20:24] <piroko> bryand: msg me the error
[20:25] <renato> Slart, they say that harddisk has 200000 cycles for it...
[20:25] <jose> I'm trying to programatically change the title of a gnome-terminal, I've tried echo -e '\E]0;mytitle\a' but it does not work, any ideas how I can do this?
[20:25] <ifireball> javatexan: is showmount available on the mac? what does shouwmount -e <ubuntu> give you there?
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: apt-get install build-essential
[20:25] <bulmer> Take0n-> look at the permission of that directory
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: Sorry, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[20:25] <bsdunix> Take0n: because you don't have write permissions to that directory
[20:25] <javatexan> ill. try....hold
[20:25] <bryand> ah, ok forgot about the build-essential... I saw that somewhere. Will try that now. Thanks!!!
[20:25] <Take0n> if I change the permission to the whole bin\ directory
[20:25] <Take0n> would it work then?
[20:25] <piroko> bryand: Yep
[20:25] <bsdunix> Take0n:  don't do that
[20:26] <Slart> renato: well.. powering up and down a hard drive all the time has to put some wear and tear on it.. just like all computer parts.. if you use them they break eventually
[20:26] <bulmer> Take0n-> thats not a place you'd want to put just any kind of documents
[20:26] <bsdunix> Take0n:  temporarily become someone who DOES have adequate permissions to write to that directory; sudo su
[20:26] <bsdunix> su su sudio
[20:26] <bsdunix> oh..
[20:26] <Slart> renato: if I were you I'd check my backups, or start doing them.. so when the drive fails you're not loosing to much
[20:27] <freazer> Is this process scheduling behavior normal? One application, it "switches" every 5 seconds or so http://imagegrotto.com/view-Screenshot7003.jpg
[20:27] <javatexan> ifireball:  It shows them.....LOL...now Im even more confused......;)
[20:27] <bsdunix> fsck'n phil collins
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: both options take you to cli where you can then start gdm and get in?
[20:27] <javatexan> on the mac os x, that is
[20:27] <renato> Slart, ok... I'll do that... anyway... thanks for the help....
[20:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: no, only the one with (recovery) at the end
[20:27] <Slart> renato: you're welcome
[20:27] <nano__> SCROTUM.
[20:27] <void^> freazer: pretty much normal result of running a single threaded app
[20:27] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: also, when I tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' it gave me an error
[20:28] <Take0n> bsdunix: that's not working
[20:28] <Slart> freazer: yup.. that looks normal to me
[20:28] <javatexan> does that mean there is a problem with mounting from the mac side of things?
[20:28] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: even though gdm works fine
[20:28] <ifireball> javatexan: well, it means we got basic portmap connectivity working and err... I think it was mountd?
[20:28] <jose> anyone know how to change the title of a gome-terminal windows programatically?
[20:28] <Take0n> I get root acc but I try to copy manually not through terminal
[20:28] <midgetnator> hello guys is it possible to install ubuntu on a 2gb hard drive?
[20:28] <poOrBOon> howto make ubuntu look like vista, I mean the transparent window bordes? I have compiz..
[20:28] <ifireball> javatexan: what kind of error does the mac give you anyway?
[20:28] <javatexan> i didnt play with portmap at all...I think allow and deny are both empty
[20:29] <dotpavan> jose: programatically? via a command?
[20:29] <freazer> Thanks everyone who responded, I just slapped the chip in and didn't do any configuring, I imagine it's an effort to reduce "wear and tear"?
[20:29] <javatexan> hold on...ill try again...don't remember the wording
[20:29] <jose> dotpavan: yes with a command
[20:29] <ifireball> javatexan: you don't need to play with it...
[20:29] <SonicChao> Oh no
[20:29] <JJackson> Well im downloading fedora core 8 because i cant get ubunutu to install, ciao
[20:29] <Take0n> if there is a dvd version of ubuntu then its better to run it live than installing it on a 2gb drive
[20:29] <midgetnator> hello is it possible to install ubuntu gutsy in a 2gb hard drive?
[20:29] <Slart> !ccsm | poOrBOon
[20:29] <ubotu> poOrBOon: 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
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Did you setup multiple users on that system for ubuntu?
[20:29] <midgetnator> no its the cd alternate versino
[20:29] <midgetnator> version
[20:29] <Slart> midgetnator: I'd say yes
[20:30] <ifireball> javatexan: anyway, as far as I can remember you need portmap and lockd running on the client-side e.g. the mac
[20:30] <alexbOrsova> Jack_SParrow: not yet (no GUI :) ), only one user for me
[20:30] <midgetnator> ok great hahahaha
[20:30] <bulmer> midgetnator you dont have any other drives?
[20:30] <midgetnator> no
[20:30] <midgetnator> hahahahhahahahhaha
[20:30] <midgetnator> im repairing a computer a laptop and the hd died... so i have a 2gb hd and i dont want to give back the computer without an os while she purchase a new hd
[20:30] <poOrBOon> Slart I have Compiz! I need a theme that supports transparency like vista's window borders,
[20:30] <javatexan> okay .... the error I get today is bad username and or password.... but it never asks me to change it while connecting....
[20:30] <var> is evolution mail any good?
[20:31] <SonicChao> A friend of mine told me to change m username I'd have to go the Users, change it, then run this script when I was in my home folder /home/sonicchao: mv * /home/syntaxerror and them rm -rf /home/sonicchao
[20:31] <alexbOrsova> var: yes, it's a good app
[20:31] <SonicChao> And I can't log in!
[20:31] <phyz> var, that's the one i finally settled on
[20:31] <var> phyz: cool, i was just about to get thunderbird
[20:31] <SonicChao> And all my hidden files are gone
[20:31] <var> but i think it looks nice
[20:31] <SonicChao> It lets me in, then goes back to the splash screen
[20:31] <flokuehn> midgetnator: you can try to install an dsl on your usb stick
[20:31] <freazer> Thanks again everyone!
[20:31] <Jimmy__> Pici - cdecarlo - i have a list of some ports of my server that are open, does it means that they are forwarded ports to me or other clients?
[20:31] <bulmer> midgetnator-> does it have to be ubuntu? there are the smaller footprint like damn small linux
[20:31] <SonicChao> please help
[20:32] <midgetnator> bulmer : ill try damn small linux then
[20:32] <var> phyz: do you use imap gmail
[20:32] <Pici> Jimmy__: It means that they are either forwarded or they have endpoints on the server/router itself.
[20:32] <ifireball> SonicChao: because the mv didn't move the "hidden" files...
[20:32] <midgetnator> the thing is that she wont like the gui but if its temporal i dont think it will be a problem
[20:32] <flokuehn> midgetnator: sorry i meant your hd
[20:32] <SonicChao> ifireball: How do I get them back?
[20:32] <midgetnator> yeah ill give it a try or puppy linux
[20:32] <phyz> var, no i use hosted
[20:32] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: I agree
[20:33] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo you agree to me or pici?
[20:33] <SonicChao> ifireball: Or make a new user account from terminal
[20:33] <lwizardl> how do i find the source for my kernal?
[20:33] <ifireball> SonicChao: well, the gui is suppose to auto-recreate most of them on login, I don't know why it doesn't let you login
[20:33] <SonicChao> ifireball: ;;
[20:33] <dmakalsky> Hello, I am running gutsy on a thinkpad x60 and every once in a while when the screensaver is on, and I press a key or move the mouse, the text box to enter the password comes in, and the computer seemingly freezes... is this a known issue?  How can I debug?  It's an intermittent behaviour
[20:33] <Slart> poOrBOon: well.. aren't there themes to chose from? I seem to recall I had
[20:33] <Jimmy__> Pici end points?
[20:34] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: I don't want to sound like a jerk, but, you can't agree with question ... I was agreeing with pici
[20:34] <ifireball> SonicChao: how exactly did you change your account's name?
[20:34] <SonicChao> ifireball: In KDE's Users and Groups
[20:34] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo ic
[20:35] <xoqa> ./gridwars: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory..............heellp..please?
[20:35] <helloWorldm> Can someone answer a question for me about fstab?
[20:35] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: if a port is open it means that the machine (pc, router, ...) will accept connections on that port - that's an endpoint
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: Looks like he blew away his /home and didnt copy /mv all his files first
[20:35] <ifireball> SonicChao: I have no idea what that tool does, are you currently logged in the terminal with your new user?
[20:35] <Take0n> pls help me copy those files
[20:35] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: so, do you have any idea what's going on with my laptop?
[20:35] <helloWorldm> I want to know if I can set fstab to mount a drive on start up to /Storage and have the owner be helloworld and the group be storage
[20:35] <SonicChao> ifireball: I changed the name of my old user account and changed my home path to /home/syntaxerror
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask | helloWorldm
[20:35] <Ace2016> open up synaptic and search for libstdc++ and install it
[20:35] <ubotu> helloWorldm: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[20:35] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: the only error i see in your xorg.log is "AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable".  what error did you get with sudo dpkg-reconfigure gmd?
[20:36] <pike_> helloWorldm: what file system?
[20:36] <ifireball> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, somebody gave him bad advice, anyway I think this could be repaired... but i'd need to be sitting at the keyboard ;)
[20:36] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: gdm that is
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: I am at a loss on that...
[20:36] <helloWorldm> fat32
[20:36] <Jimmy__> cdecarlo and accepting connection doesnt means that it will forward it too.... right?
[20:36] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman:"invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action 'reload' failed"
[20:36] <ifireball> SonicChao: I asked how are you working _right now_
[20:36] <jose> does anyone know a command to change the title of a gnome-terminal window?
[20:36] <SonicChao> ifireball: my Windows partition
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: does the folder/directory still exist...   would be my next question
[20:37] <cdecarlo> Jimmy__: correct, it just means it if your talking to that port the machine will listen to what's being said
[20:37] <tijn> erhm, once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:37] <pike_> helloWorldm: well you can chmod the /storage like sudo chmod USER:GROUP  bot for fat32 i typically do a umask=000 or somesuch under options if i need everyone to have access to it
[20:37] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: I started to panic and recreated /home/sonicchao
[20:37] <SonicChao> But I changed my home path to /home/syntaxerror like he suggested
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: Ouch...
[20:37] <pike_> SonicChao: first rule 'dont panic'
[20:38] <helloWorldm> Pike, it seems like the drive will always be mounted as ROOT ROOT
[20:38] <ifireball> SonicChao: but you'v ran the "mv" command just like you typed before right?
[20:38] <phyz> jose, from a shell?
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: But you did delete forcefully a folder that was not empty then recreated it...
[20:38] <SonicChao> pike_: heh, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
[20:38] <jose> phyz: yep I want to be able to do it from the shell
[20:38] <var> woohoo!
[20:38] <ifireball> SonicChao: so basically it means you still got all your "non hidden" files in the new folder right?
[20:38] <bulmer> jose-> have you tried  gnome-terminal --help  ?
[20:38] <var> so happy i got ubuntu working!
[20:38] <phyz> jose, pretty sure bash has an escape sequence you can use
[20:39] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: I just did what I was told. cd ~ mv * /home/syntaxerror rm -rf /home/sonicchao
[20:39] <var> wow alt+tab is neat
[20:39] <var> :)
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: I would say he did
[20:39] <SonicChao> I feel like
[20:39] <SonicChao> Such an idiot D:<
[20:39] <Jimmy__> where to find a driver for my alpha tv tuner  (tv card)?
[20:39] <dmakalsky> how do I get gnome to use xlock instead of the native screensaver tool?
[20:39] <SonicChao> ifireball: oh yes, I have all my non-hidden files in /home/syntaxerror
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicChao: If it can be saved.. you are in the right place
[20:39] <Jimmy__> !tv
[20:39] <ubotu> http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out
[20:39] <jose> phyz: I've tried all the escape sequences I can find and none of them work
[20:40] <bulmer> jose-> have you tried  gnome-terminal --help  ?
[20:40] <pike_> helloWorldm: so like mount -o rw,uid=1234,gid=1321 /dev/sda1 /storage  maybe but if that doesnt work im not sure
[20:40] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: that's the error you need to research.  follow the steps in this thread.  it's older, but the commands should still be the same: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177
[20:40] <dx9s_work> yeah.. any ubuntu distro maintainers here? curious if anyone can point me at the "actual" build scripts and sources used to make the various .deb files.. aka building from deb-src .. need to customize kernel for 4GB+ and also wanan recompile some audio stuff with newer development code (but hafta recompile many of the other programs against newer header files)
[20:40] <jumpkick> what does it mean when I get to "Configuring system locales" and my Ubuntu install locks up with caps and scroll lock flashing?
[20:40] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: ok
[20:40] <ifireball> SonicChao: how did you create the /home/syntaxerror directory in the 1st place?
[20:40] <ak5> hey guys, is there an automatic pastebin program like gentoo's wgetpaste for ubuntu (in the standard reposotries?) i'm trying to remotely (telephone) fix some stuff
[20:40] <helloWorldm> i will try
[20:40] <SonicChao> ifireball: mkdir
[20:40] <jose> bulmer: help only shows to start the terminal with -t <mytitle> I waned to be able to change the title from a shell script
[20:40] <Jimmy__> !vtv
[20:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:40] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: ill look into it, thanks a lot
[20:40] <javatexan> Yeah...now its HAPPY!!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!
[20:41] <Jimmy__> !ivtv
[20:41] <bulmer> jose-> you can put that in a script when you start a gnome terminal
[20:41] <ubotu> IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy
[20:41] <ifireball> SonicChao: dod you run that "mkdir" as normal user or root?
[20:41] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: good luck with it. if it doesn't work come back here
[20:41] <SonicChao> ifireball: ...root...
[20:41] <databits> can someone here help me out with upgrading my kernel ?
[20:41] <ifireball> SonicChao: ok, did you run any chown, or chmod command on that dir?
[20:41] <SonicChao> ifireball: No.
[20:41] <jose> bulmer: I thought of that, but then how do I execute the rest of the code in the script?
[20:41] <xoqa> aptitude is saying that libstdc++ is installed
[20:41] <crush_groove> jose .. try this "gnome-terminal --title=title" ie ..gnome-terminal --title= boohoo
[20:41] <Take0n> the cp command works for files but does it work for folders swell?
[20:42] <xoqa> but when i 'remove' it says there's nothing to remove
[20:42] <xoqa> help?
[20:42] <komputes> SMB on Gutsy is BUGGY, anyone else have issue with it???
[20:42] <Ax-Ax> how can i rename a folder in cli?
[20:42] <bulmer> jose-> at the very top it would be like  #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/perl  something like this
[20:42] <ifireball> SonicChao: ok, here is what happening, the GUI can and will create a new set of dotfiles ("hidden" files) for you, but it can't because it _cannot_write_to_your_new_dir_
[20:43] <SonicChao> ifireball: Oh, I get it.
[20:43] <flokuehn> Take0n: yes it does work for directorys too. you have to add the -r option for copying recursive
[20:43] <SonicChao> chmod let's me set permissions
[20:43] <Take0n> what does recursive mean?
[20:43] <javatexan> next item up for bid>>>> :)  >>>> I would like to do all the login and work on my ubuntu machine in my office down the hall from the machine on my windows box.  I have something called X-win32 which can do all the graphical stuff using StarNetSSH, rexec, rsh, or XDMCP...  In your experience which is more better to setup and use?
[20:43] <jose> bulmer: ok so how would I write a script that runs top with "top" as the window title?
[20:43] <ifireball> SonicChao: you need to make the new directory owned by you, e.g. login as root and run "chown <newuesr>:<newuser> /home/<newuser>"
[20:44] <SonicChao> ifireball: I think you're on to something
[20:44] <komputes> Ax-Ax: using mv or rename
[20:44] <SonicChao> ifireball: T_T In ubuntu you can't log in as root
[20:44] <javatexan> where can I start reading about it?
[20:44] <SonicChao> How do I?
[20:44] <bulmer> jose-> there is the #bash channel for scripting needs
[20:44] <flokuehn> Take0n: recursive means that cp copys every data in every subfolder of the main folder
[20:44] <ifireball> SonicChao: just login as normal user and do the same with "sudo" in front of it
[20:44] <pike_> Take0n: kinda start at the bottom and work your way up so delete the files inside first
[20:44] <jose> Cool I'll log in there thanks for the advice
[20:44] <komputes> SMB on Gutsy is BUGGY, anyone else have issues with creating Windows shares on Gutsy???
[20:45] <SonicChao> ifireball: That's the thing, it won't _let_ me log in.
[20:45] <Defyence> Anyone able to help me set up some USB speakers?
[20:45] <SonicChao> It bounces me back to the splash
[20:45] <tijn> erhm, once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:45] <SonicChao> or with sudo in front will it because it can access all directories?
[20:45] <kev_> quit
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ifireball: would this be easier from a livecd session?
[20:46] <ericvw> !pastebin
[20:46] <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)
[20:46] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow: Another big problem with my computer. The CD Drive is shot
[20:46] <phyz> jose, http://ahlamnote.blogspot.com/2007/04/change-title-of-xterm.html check PROMPT_COMMAND
[20:46] <ifireball> Jack_Sparrow: nope, he'll need to learn "mount"...
[20:46] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[20:46] <Take0n> ok and what is the path to usr/share/ ?
[20:47] <Take0n> I enter usr/share/amsn/ but it says wrong
[20:47] <SonicChao> ifireball: hold on, I can just 'sudo sonicchao' as my name and it'll let me in?
[20:47] <SonicChao> or 'sudo syntaxerror
[20:47] <jose> phyz: Thanks for teh pointer
[20:47] <ifireball> SonicChao: no you need to login to the terminal, e.g. in the graphical login screen, type "cnrl+alt+f1" to switch to terminal mode, there you can login
[20:47] <phyz> jose, it's set in my .bashrc so i bet that's it...
[20:47] <SonicChao> ifireball: let me try
[20:47] <Ax-Ax> komputes, thanks :)
[20:47] <SonicChao> I've tried virtual terminals in the past and I always get a ton of error messages stopping me from doing anything
[20:48] <komputes> Ax-Ax: no prob
[20:48] <SonicChao> Something about my CD drive, sdb, cannot be mounted
[20:48] <balleyne> Can anyone help me get a PCI wireless card working?
[20:48] <ifireball> SonicChao: well, use terminal #2 it shouldn't output the messages there
[20:48] <bulmer> balleyne-> on same pc as you are on now?
[20:48] <audihertz> Hey folks...  kind of a newbie here, trying to get a SMTP server setup on Ubunutu Server 7.10.  Need to set it up for outgoing only from the local network.  Anyone help?
[20:49] <SonicChao> ifireball: okay. you''ve been a great help. let me write down that command and try it.
[20:49] <SonicChao> :)
[20:49] <balleyne> bulmer: yes.. though I'm plugged into the wired at the moment - it's for a laptop
[20:49] <Wulfie> hey folks - Is Dmix enabled by default in Ubuntu?
[20:49] <spideyman> i need help with my monitor config i was foolin around with wine and now my desktop setting are screwy?
[20:49] <usr13> ifireball: I always start at tty6 and go down from there. :)
[20:49] <bulmer> balleyne-> well it will be messy for the routing table if you have both on at same time
[20:49] <pike_> audihertz: i can send you a generic help link. its no trouble really ;)
[20:50] <jose> phyz:  Thanks that did !
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Seems to happen to me when I have effects on and try to play something in wine
[20:50] <ifireball> usr13: old habits die hard.. ;)
[20:50] <phyz> jose, np
[20:50] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> how do i reset them
[20:50] <SonicChao> ifireball: wrote it down, restarting now
[20:50] <balleyne> audihertz: Synaptic, Edit-> Mark packages by task -> Mail server - that might help, though I don't know any more about setting up mail servers
[20:50] <SonicChao> will you be here if it doesn't work?
[20:50] <audihertz> Appreciate any help Pike  :)  I got it working on a few tests, then it stopped.  I have no idea what I need for settings, very frustrated and so are my users.
[20:50] <ifireball> SonicChao: maybe... good luck!
[20:51] <SonicChao> thanks
[20:51] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, well, I can disconnect from wired to try the wireless, what would I need to do?
[20:51] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> now i can only choose 640 by 480 res in desktop settings
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: system pref- screen res.. but I am running feisty on this box
[20:51] <samuel_> Hello : how can I check if the daemon "samba" is working fine ?
[20:51] <usr13> balleyne: sudo dhclient
[20:51] <piglit> hello there i have got a question and i dont know where to google for this pc (called xp2600) i am using now has got a internet connection on eth0, but there is also a eth1 network card on the (xp2600 pc) witch is connected to a pc called shuttle how can i share the internet connection ? and (2) on a router samba did work fine but the router is now dead, how can i get a conection between the 2 pc's ?
[20:51] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> yeah it doesnt give me the choices anymore
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Turn off effects for a start
[20:52] <samuel_> sudo /etc/init.d/samba status    ... doesn't seem to work.
[20:52] <bulmer> balleyne-> first step shutdown and have it plugged in on your pci slot and reboot
[20:52] <balleyne> usr13: haven't gotten that far, the wireless device is still saying I have no wireless extensions
[20:52] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow>effects in wine?
[20:52] <balleyne> bulmer: I had it in when I booted, and it shows up with an lspci
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: Someone will know more than I do on that..
[20:52] <audihertz> balleyne: thanks.  Will see what I can sort out.
[20:52] <bulmer> balleyne-> which card and wifi chip on it?
[20:53] <balleyne> bulmer: It seems to be eth4, but it says "no wireless extensions" when I run iwconfig
[20:53] <audihertz> BTW, I'm using postfix to get this working...  sorta  :S
[20:53] <piglit> ow and there are two orange led's on on the xp2600 pc
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: No-turn off effects in ubuntu... is where I seem to remember how I started to fix the prob.
[20:53] <spideyman> I think wine overwrote the config file but dont know where to look
[20:53] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> where do i find that
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: xorg.conf has the info.. but cant see wine writing to that
[20:53] <ericvw> Do I need to use the ubuntu alternative install to set up Ubuntu with RAID?
[20:54] <usr13> piglit: install firestarter
[20:54] <balleyne> bulmer: it's an SMC EZ Connect G..
[20:54] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: well, that didn't work
[20:54] <spideyman> yeah i did that but it gets an error when it tries to write the new one something battery missing?
[20:54] <chester_martins> where can i found information about change debian packages?
[20:54] <usr13> piglit: or you can do it manualy with a couple iptables rules.  your choice.
[20:55] <piglit> usr13 i did
[20:55] <alexbOrsova> barryToeman: when I tried the last option (driver=vga) the screen flashed a few times before going black
[20:55] <bulmer> balleyne-> im not familiar with it, do you have a driver for it? or maybe use ndiswrapper with its windows driver version
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> spideyman: I am going to try and take a nap...  not sure where to start other than effects...  someone will know, I just dont do much of anything in wine
[20:55] <lwizardl> can someone tell me how i get download the kernel source for 2.6.22-14-rt
[20:55] <usr13> piglit: firestarter will provide option to share the connection.
[20:55] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: other than that, nothing else happened
[20:55] <spideyman> Jack_Sparrow> thanx anyway
[20:55] <piglit> usr13 i did install firestarter but firestarter tell's me that divice eth1 is not ready
[20:56] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, I'll give that a shot. If Ubuntu has a driver for it, it should work out of the box when I boot with it connected I guess?
[20:56] <spideyman> does anyone know where the config file for my monitor settings gets saved?
[20:56] <kenny> hey guys, i have vista/ubuntu so when i turn on i get a boot loader that asks which one i want to boot..but what do i have to do if i want to boot from a cd?
[20:56] <alexbOrsova> spideyman: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[20:56] <spideyman> thats it thanx
[20:56] <erUSUL> !fixres | spideyman
[20:56] <ubotu> spideyman: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[20:56] <alexbOrsova> kenny: that's handled by the bios
[20:56] <bulmer> balleyne-> no guarantee to connect at boot, settings must be configured like AP you want to associate with..etc
[20:57] <pike_> kenny: this is specific to your computer basically you need to change the boot order in bios
[20:57] <tijn> once i configured my system that when an event occurs (which normally results in a beep) my screen blinks, now i forget where i did this, anyone knows where?
[20:57] <samuel_> kenny : you have to change the boot order into your bios
[20:57] <balleyne> kenny: it should boot from CD instead of giving you that bootload, you may need to check your boot priority in the bios, otherwise just try booting with the CD in the drive
[20:57] <kenan> i am trying to get simdock to work but it says i need to install libwnck18 but i get an error in termial that says: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? so how do i fix this?
[20:57] <samuel_> tell the bios to start by CDrom first
[20:57] <usr13> piglit: ifconfig
[20:57] <kenny> ok thanks guys
[20:57] <ovid> ubuntu locks up during install, pci error, i;ve run with pci=noacpi and it still locks after hardware config, anyone know a fix?
[20:57] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, thanks, I'll try a few things see what I can do
[20:57] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: are you still here?
[20:58] <usr13> ovid: Check for hardware issue.
[20:58] <syntaxerror> ifireball, there is no way I will ever be able to repay you
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> kenny: Yo can only run one package manager at a time
[20:58] <erUSUL> kenan: do you have synaptic? or the update manager running?
[20:58] <flokuehn> ovid: try downloading same image from other mirror
[20:58] <flokuehn> ovid: i dont have any further hints
[20:58] <ovid> flokuehn: really? i HAVE downloade3d it all form the same mirrror...thanks :D
[20:59] <syntaxerror> ifireball, it works. :3 However, messages were outputted to all my virtual terminals. Quick thinking, e.g. I opened my CD drive and rebooted and typed your command saved me
[20:59] <ifireball> synacktion: I'm glad it worked
[20:59] <flokuehn> ovid: i had the same problem last times. i just downloaded the same image from an other mirror and installation worked.
[20:59] <kenan> ok well i closed everything and i tried to install it via synaptic and this is what i get: libwnck18:
[20:59] <kenan> Package libwnck18 has no available version, but exists in the database.
[20:59] <kenan> This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list, any ideas?
[20:59] <piglit> usr13: i can see a eth1 in ifconfig
[20:59] <flokuehn> ovid: so it might be by you.
[21:00] <piglit> usr13: but i cant see a ip adress when i look at the eth1 the eth0 has got a ip adress though
[21:00] <syntaxerror> Too bad I lost all my XChat scripts and KDE settings. but; my computer works. and I had a 50 page essay on it with no backups
[21:00] <ovid> flokuehn: if i want to dual boot can i install ubuntu first and then windows? or should i do the other way around
[21:00] <usr13> piglit: eth1 is connected to "shuttle", right?
[21:01] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: i'm back now
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kenan: HAve you changed any of your sources.list
[21:01] <erUSUL> ovid: the later
[21:01] <Take0n> guys I have enabled the "show icons on desktop" (ubuntu 7.10 KDE) but there are no "computer" or "trash" icons on the desktop why?!
[21:01] <kenan> Jack_Sparrow: not that i remember
[21:01] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: well, it didn't work;
[21:01] <flokuehn> ovid: no. not as far as i know. you have to install windows first and then ubuntu
[21:01] <ovid> erUSUL: thanks
[21:01] <ovid> :)
[21:01] <mikebeecham> hi there...if I wanted to clean old files from my machine....can I remove anything from /var without hurting linux...I have 16Gb entries in there
[21:01] <ifireball> syntaxerror: all I can say is "never follow other's advice blindly" ;)
[21:01] <piglit> usr13: you are right yes the eth1 is coneccted to the shuttle
[21:01] <usr13> piglit: Did you assign a static IP address to eth1?
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kenan: you might paste your sources.list to the pastebin and provide a link.. if you dont mind
[21:01] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: when I tried the alst option (driver=vga) the screen flickered a few times but then it went to black
[21:02] <usr13> piglit: If not do so now.
[21:02] <syntaxerror> ifireball, heh. do you think he intentionally tried to break my computer?
[21:02] <erUSUL> kenan: are you on feisty?
[21:02] <kenan> erUSUL: gutsy
[21:02] <var> i have a very weird problem with my ralink card, it has 2 interfaces underneath it in my device manager
[21:02] <mikebeecham> all the 16Gb is in the lib folder?
[21:02] <erUSUL> !info libwnck22 | kenan
[21:02] <ubotu> kenan: libwnck22: Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 151 kB, installed size 340 kB
[21:02] <eegore> where do I set user permissiins for wifi-radar
[21:02] <piglit> usr13: eth1 is a zeroconf
[21:02] <ifireball> synacktion: no, but he just wasn't careful enough with his advice
[21:03] <ifireball> syntaxerror: : no, but he just wasn't careful enough with his advice
[21:03] <var> it has WLAN interface and Networking Wireless Control Interface
[21:03] <piglit> usr13: another ip than the ip of the eth0 i ques?
[21:03] <erUSUL> kenan: in gutsy that's the version aviable
[21:03] <usr13> piglit: What is "zeroconf"
[21:03] <usr13> piglit: Yes, it has to be a different network.
[21:03] <syntaxerror> ifireball, okay. c: I'm going to go reconfigure KDE (it autobooted me to GNOME) Thanks! c:
[21:03] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: did you get any new error messages?
[21:04] <usr13> piglit: Is your internet router is 192.168.1.1  ?
[21:04] <kenan> erUSUL: well it turns out that i do have libwnck22 installed but i am still unable to install simdock
[21:04] <semiAnon> hi all, i'm trying to reinstall windows xp to my HP compaq TC4200 laptop and I'm having problems. The recovery dvd from HP can't reinstall windows OS. i did a "fixmbr" command and it still doesn't work. help.
[21:04] <usr13> piglit: or....?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: actually, yes: something about bcm48xxx_module.o not being there
[21:04] <var> anyone know how to get ralink working on 7.10?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: i think it's my broadcom wlan card
[21:04] <piglit> usr13: oke i make it a static what must the gateway be? the router is 192.168.1.1
[21:04] <erUSUL> kenan: maybe the simdock package you are trying to install is not meant for gutsy... it is a deb?
[21:04] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: what does that have to do with xserver though?
[21:05] <kenan> erUSUL: yes its a deb
[21:05] <casdi1> semiAnon:  same problem here, that's why i'm only using ubuntu
[21:05] <casdi1> :P
[21:05] <var> if someone can help me get my ralink driver working
[21:05] <erUSUL> kenan: and it is for ubuntu gutsy?
[21:05] <var> ill kiss them in real life
[21:05] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: WAIT A SECOND< IT JUST SHOWED UP!!
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[21:05] <piglit> usr13: the shuttle pc doesnt like the router so that's why i want to connect the shuttle to the xp2600 pc and get internet on the shuttle that way
[21:06] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: what did you do for it to show up?
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: there's a dialog that says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphcis mode"
[21:06] <erUSUL> var: in gutsy? they worked for me out of the box... i have a ralink 2500 pci
[21:06] <usr13> piglit: eth1 needs to not only be a different IP address, but also a different network.  For instance:  192.168.0.1  NETMASK 255.255.255.0 (Given the fact that eth0 is 192.168.1.x NETMASK 255.255.255.0)
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I added the line
[21:06] <var> erUSUL: ah i bet its my WPA support
[21:06] <var> that's what my problem is :\
[21:06] <var> sorry i wasnt clear on that
[21:06] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: 3) Add the following line to your existing "Screen" section:   Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
[21:06] <var> it will work with WEP, but I need WPA/WPA2
[21:06] <erUSUL> var: i use wpa too. network manager worked wonderfully
[21:07] <var> erUSUL: oh, how do i install network manager erUSUL
[21:07] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: from the Ubuntu wiki documentation on nvidia vards
[21:07] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me where the trash is in nautyilus?
[21:07] <kenan> erUSUL: im not sure it doesnt say
[21:07] <erUSUL> var: in gutsy is installed by default
[21:07] <semiAnon> casdi1: i'm trying to get my wireless card to work, and there's a utility in windows that can do that
[21:07] <usr13> piglit: So, set eth1 to static IP  192.168.0.1  and tell firestarter to share the connection with eth1.
[21:07] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: the dialog says "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly."
[21:07] <var> erUSUL: are you sure?
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: there are more than one..
[21:07] <var> maybe im on feisty?
[21:07] <mikebeecham> hey Jack_Sparrow
[21:08] <semiAnon> casdi1: i'm trying to move to linux, after my wlan works in ubuntu
[21:08] <flokuehn> byebye
[21:08] <mikebeecham> I have deleted 16Gb of files whilst in sudo nautilus...but they are not in the deleted items icon
[21:08] <erutherford> I am having issues with 7.10 finding my hard drive
[21:08] <piglit> usr13: what abouth the gateway of eth1 eth0 is 192.168.1.1
[21:08] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: do you think while the screen was black that Ubuntu was already loading and your screen was setup incorrectly?  that's why I asked earlier if you could hear the login drum sound.
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: First off... dont sudo nautilus..
[21:08] <casdio> semiAnon:  i can't help in that, i'm a noob... sorry
[21:08] <erUSUL> var: yes it is the icon (2 computers) showing in the up right corner..
[21:08] <erutherford> can anyone point me in the right direction
[21:08] <semiAnon> casdio, ok thanks anyway. :)
[21:08] <erutherford> I have already been searching on google
[21:08] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I clicked the "Configure" button and the "Screens and Graphics" menu came up; I don't know what was going on, though
[21:08] <usr13> piglit: No need to worry about a gateway for eth1
[21:09] <Alkaiser> fdsaf
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: gksudo nautilus     and look in /root/.Trash
[21:09] <casdio> btw, i can't see accents (it's right?) here in irc... can you help me?
[21:09] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: and you can't use the sound to tell anything because Ubuntu doesn't recognise my sound card
[21:09] <RichW> I want to tunnel my vnc to my server over ssh... I am trying something like ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@mysite.com but it says bind: Address already in use  channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 5900  Could not request local forwarding.
[21:09] <erUSUL> var: when there is a wirelless connection it shows the signal strenght
[21:09] <usr13> piglit: Only the clients need to have a default gateway.
[21:09] <RichW> Anyone got any ideas?
[21:09] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: it's asking me to select a driver, vesa is selected right now. Should I change that?
[21:09] <var> erUSUL: ah thanks
[21:10] <var> :)
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I just took some cold medicine so I will be drifting off soon.. I hope
[21:10] <usr13> piglit: So set "shuttle" to 192.168.0.2 with default gateway of 192.168.0.1  and add nameserver to resolv.conf
[21:10] <FluxD> Hi, I currently have a dynamic ip. I signed with one of those free dynamic DNS sites and got a subdomain pointing to a link. HOw can I make it show this domain in irc instead of the ip address?
[21:10] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: what video card do you have? "lspci | grep VGA"
[21:10] <rocme> hi
[21:10] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: nvidia GeForce 6150 Go
[21:10] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: I am desperately trying to get back my 'application' section of the menu..and I think it is all tied into not having any free space for somer eason
[21:10] <mikebeecham> but I hope you feel better soon
[21:11]  * tijn is away: afk..
[21:11] <usr13> piglit: So, for client, "shuttle":  sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 ; sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Are you running live cd to fix this then
[21:11] <rocme> i have a problem with my wlan...
[21:11] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: nope...I am using the "learn as you go method"
[21:11] <mikebeecham> ;)
[21:11] <UNDERsoN> i'm changing mac adress by if eth1 <ip> hw ether <mac_adress> up every time when I boot up. How make this mac adress static for my eth1
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I made notes on what to do after I ran out of space...
[21:11] <usr13> piglit: And then edit /etc/resolve.conf and add line: nameserver xxx.xx.xx.x
[21:12] <rocme> i tried to use knetworkmanager, but i hate this program - i want to use a simple console program
[21:12] <usr13> piglit: And then edit /etc/resolve.conf and add line: nameserver 192.168.1.1
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: You should find a second /.Trash with the files you deleted as root
[21:12] <rocme> because the wlan is encrypted with wpa, i use the wpa_suppplicant
[21:12] <usr13> piglit: That's for "shuttle"
[21:12] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I hit the Test button with the nvideo driver and the screen went blank again so I think it's the driver
[21:12] <rocme> wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
[21:12] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: do youi know anything about missing 'applications' sections?
[21:12] <Speckal> hi all
[21:13] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: which is weird because xserver works when starting from cli
[21:13] <erUSUL> var: if nm doesn't work for you you can try a more manual approach go to System>Admin>Net disable roaming mode for the wireless card and configure it
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: No, that didnt happen when I ran out of room
[21:13] <rocme> but the wpa_cli does not connect with the wlan
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Do you have a spare partition on that box
[21:13] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: maybe it is a seperate issue
[21:13] <Speckal> I'm a debian user but I'm thinking of trying ubuntu. I understand that ubuntu is based on debian ??
[21:13] <rocme> i can select the wlan manually with the client, but there is no connection :(
[21:13] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: this is a secondary partition i am on...WinXP is on the first
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Speckal: yes it is...
[21:14] <piglit> usr13: oke thanks i'll give it a try, thank you verry much
[21:14] <kenan> i am trying to install simdock.deb but it says i dont have permission, how do i give myself permission to open it if i saved it to the desktop?
[21:14] <rocme> has so an idea what is wrong?
[21:14] <chazco> Anyone know how i can backup a FAT32 partition to a FAT32 USB drive? rsync doesnt work (doesnt appear to detect any changes)
[21:14] <usr13> piglit: In other words, shuttle needs to be set to static IP and have default gw set to 192.168.0.1 and be provided with nameserver(s) - e.g. 192.168.1.1  (your router, which more than likely has a caching nameserver running on it.)
[21:14] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: oh, and I cant quit linux, as everything disappears from my desktop but nothing shuts down
[21:14] <mikebeecham> just to add to the spice of it all
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: did you find the trash yet
[21:14] <Speckal> what are the biggest differences between ubuntu and debian?
[21:14] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: yes thanks...I have deleted all those files
[21:14] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: did you go through this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[21:14] <usr13> piglit: Unless.... you want to set up a dhcp server on the 192.168.0.1 machine
[21:14] <erUSUL> !debian
[21:14] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[21:15] <usr13> piglit: Anyway, that should be enough info to get you going.
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Make note for future reference.. gksudo for gui apps....  it can lead to all sorts of odd problems if you just sudo gui app
[21:15] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: no, this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[21:15] <piglit> oke thak you verry much usr13
[21:16] <casdio> i can't see special characters in irc... Can you help me?

[21:16] <Speckal> good god this channel is busy
[21:16] <iNeedHelp2> lots of people having issues
[21:16] <casdio> yes
[21:16] <casdio> lol
[21:16] <rizzo> re GPG errors?
[21:16] <kenan> i am trying to install simdock.deb but it says i dont have permission, how do i give myself permission to open it if i saved it to the desktop?
[21:16] <usr13> Speckal: Sure is!  Bussiest one I've ever been on.
[21:17] <Ubunt93> :S :S :S my Network Manager in Ubuntu has disapeared from the top panel where it always is and won't come back, it's place is there but it's blank and I can't connect over Wireless or Ethernet
[21:17] <usr13> kenan: sudo
[21:17] <erUSUL> ompaul: you skipped a space ;) or better a |
[21:17] <rizzo> I get GPG errors when I run apt-get update, and when I try to upgrade it gives me warnings that the packages can't be authenticated.
[21:17] <kenan> usr13: what is the whole command if i want to open it in terminal?
[21:17] <ompaul> erUSUL, :)
[21:17] <erUSUL> ompaul: i'm too slow typping
[21:17] <ompaul> good catch though

[21:19] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: go through that link i gave you. make a backup of your current xorg.conf first "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.20071217"
[21:19] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: You need to spoof your MAC address?
[21:19] <UNDERsoN> UNDERsoN: why do you want to change your MAC? Becuse I changed ethernet card. I would have netwowrk with new mac
[21:19] <alexbOrsova> barryToeman: that's what I'm doing right now
[21:19] <sebrock> is DRI driver needed or is just intel driver fine for the gma 3100

[21:20] <ovid> UNDERsoN: i think you can just open with any text editor?
[21:21] <rizzo> ah my problem was the date
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> FluxD: Since it looks like you are trying to hide your true identity from irc users and ops I would not think you would get much help with that question
[21:21] <talcite> hey guys, do the MOTU guys release patches at a specific time of day?
[21:21] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: haha not that
[21:21] <talcite> or is it just whenever?
[21:21] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: I'm sorry, what was your question?
[21:21] <Speckal> are ubuntu packages kept pretty up-to-date?  (more so than debian?)
[21:21] <PriceChild> talcite, released when released.
[21:21] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: I thought u could do it in network settings
[21:22] <ovid> UNDERsoN http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/
[21:22] <Chitinid> speckal: not quite as much, no
[21:22] <talcite> PriceChild: thanks
[21:22] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: i'm trying to reinstall windows xp to my HP compaq TC4200 laptop and I'm having problems. The recovery dvd from HP can't reinstall windows OS. i did a "fixmbr" command and it still doesn't work. help.
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> FluxD: You do see my point though.. prehaps rephrasing the question.
[21:22] <UNDERsoN> ovid Don't undrestand. I find in google hwaddress ether <mynewmac> for /etc/network/interfaces is it correct?
[21:22] <Speckal> Chitinid:  meaning debian packages are generally more up-to-date?
[21:22] <Chitinid> Speckal: Yep
[21:22] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN: add a 'pre-up ifconfig <iface> hw <newMAC>' line to the affected iface stanza
[21:22] <FluxD> FluxD: I thought u could make it work like a bnc sorry stupid question nvm
[21:22] <UNDERsoN> ovid thanks
[21:22] <Speckal> Chitinid:  that's bad
[21:22] <PriceChild> Speckal, ubuntu only releases updates for critical bug fixes and security updates
[21:22] <FluxD> Jack_Sparrow: I thought u could make it work like a bnc sorry stupid question nvm
[21:22] <Chitinid> Speckal: Well, Ubuntu releases every 6 months; it's somewhat like Debian stable
[21:23] <Chitinid> Speckal: Except not nearly as stale; you can enable backports, and you get a bit more new stuff
[21:23] <moteyalpha> !nVidia
[21:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[21:23] <soulrider> Chitinid, ubuntu is still too stale in my opinion =/
[21:24] <soulrider> even with backports
[21:24] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: Are you trying to set up a dual boot system?
[21:24] <audihertz> Still need help with getting my Ubuntu SMTP server setup.  I've got the server listening, but it won't relay anonymous email.  Any idea what I need to set in Postfix?

[21:24] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: no, i need a utility from HP that's windows only to enable my wireless card
[21:24] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: You probably only need to tell the grub boot loader to boot your MS Windows partition.
[21:25] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: i've been searching the web via google trying to get my hardware on/off switch for wireless to work
[21:25] <Speckal> soulrider, Chitinid: I spent years in distros with bad or no pkg mgmt system.  (lfs / slack)  I suppose a little tradeoff wouldn't kill me :)
[21:25] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: What wireless card do you have?
[21:25] <soulrider> Speckal, i thought slack had pkg management
[21:26] <iNeedHelp2> usr13: right now, if i do iwconfig, it tells me "radio off" and i can't enable it. i belive its broadcom or intel. a guy with same hardware was able to get wlan to work fine (http://tc4200.chan.geekcamp.org/)
[21:26] <soulrider> it must be a pain to update then
[21:26] <usr13> iNeedHelp2: the "on/off" switch for wireless card is just to load or unload the driver / enable or dissable the device.
[21:26] <Speckal> soulrider:  it does.  imho, it falls under the 'bad' category
[21:27] <Speckal> Speckal:  bsd's pkg mgmt is much better than slacks
[21:27] <Chitinid> Ubuntu definitely has package management, and it keeps up with security/bugfix updates. It does releases every 6 months for usability/stability. There's actually no reason to upgrade all of your packages to the bleeding edge
[21:27] <Eyemean> ok i tried, to get kb3 to convert wav files woucldnt do it, tried to get soundconverter, but mp3 plugin is only for 7.04, lol

[21:35] <kazol> I have a problem with the sound card not working after a period of time.
[21:35] <spideyman> erutherford you probably have to mount it again
[21:35] <BarryToeman> alexbOrsova: go for it.  i should have suggested it earlier, but you were on the right track with the dpkg-reconfigure

[21:37] <jose__> why does this not work (the prompt does not change):

[21:38] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: I haven't actually installed the proprietary drivers yet, that's what I'm trying to do now
[21:38] <erutherford> blah32: If i try to repair the install it is saying that it now doesn't detect the drive
[21:38] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman:for some reason it helps to restart a few times
[21:39] <alexbOrsova> BarryToeman: Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately, I have to quit irc now so I can use the ethernet cable to downlaod the driver and updates. Thanks a lot Barry :)
[21:39] <jose__> does anyone havy any idea why this does not change the title for my terminal window.  I want to run top and have th erminal window say top.  There is my shell script:

[21:39] <jose__> top
[21:40] <bla52> erutherford: if the drive is not visible at startup you should check if it is still there
[21:42] <rbanffy> Hi folks. Can anyone tell me what happened with my ampersand (shift-7) key insists on pasting whatever is in the clipboard to the terminal (and only under the terminal)? Here I can do all the &ing I want, but not under gnome-terminal
[21:42] <bla52> erutherford: is this a usb drive?
[21:42] <erutherford> no SATA internal Drive
[21:42] <ovid> ubuntu locks up during install, pci error, i;ve run with pci=noacpi and it still locks after hardware config, anyone know a fix?
[21:43] <bla52> ok if you type df -h then the drive should be listed as /dev/sdxx
[21:43] <erUSUL> rbanffy: well in Xorg the middle mouse button pastes the clipboard under the cursor position... maybe somehow gnome-terminal is confusing shift-7 for a middle mouse click?
[21:43] <cwill747> anybody good with tightVNC and putty? I'm trying to access my ubuntu computer through putty, which i can do, but the vnc viewer says "connection closed". help?
[21:44] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Is there any way I can tell gnome-terminal not to confuse shift-7 with a middle-click? This is incredibly annoying.
[21:44] <iNeedHelp2> a second question, i've seen this happen a couple of times. when the windows title bar and frame border suddenly dissapears, how do i reenable it without having to restart the comp?
[21:45] <bla52> erutherford if you see the drive after typing df -h check if it is listed in /etc/fstab
[21:45] <piglit> usr13: thank you erry much it works now! :;8) happy me!
[21:45] <Cronanius> i'm having some trouble understanding how xfce fits together. I'd like to install it on my /home/me directory, so I compiled every package individually with makepkg, and put them all in a folder. What should I do now?
[21:45] <erUSUL> rbanffy: you say it only happens in gnome-terminal? try in configuration (Edit profile) the last tab compatibility options
[21:46] <jose__> does anyone havy any idea why this does not change the title for my terminal window. I want to run top and have th erminal window say top. There is my shell script:

[21:47] <ovid> ubuntu locks up during install, pci error, i;ve run with pci=noacpi and it still locks after hardware config, anyone know a fix?
[21:47] <jose__> vocx: sorry about that
[21:47] <cwill747> jose__: What OS am i running now? i'm running windows, attempting to get to my ubuntu
[21:47] <casdio> What can i do to watch embed videos that need wmp in firefox?
[21:47] <vocx> ovid, first disable pci in the BIOS. Then run the Live CD.

[21:48] <cafuego> if the mplayer plugin won't play it, you're probably SOL.

[21:48] <casdio> thanks both
[21:49] <spideyman> has anyone seen this xorg config error before
[21:49] <jose__> cwill747: 1st do you have your putty working correctly? can you start a ssh to your ubuntu machine?
[21:49] <Smegzor> Why is Wine still at 9.46 in the repos for Ubuntu 32bit while Ubuntu 64bit is at 9.51?
[21:50] <spideyman> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48581/
[21:50] <databits> hey can someone help me out with some wifi stuff ?
[21:50] <kahrytan> Smegzor➲  Use WIne Repos
[21:50] <cwill747> jose__: Yes, i'm actually using irssi from putty right now on my ubuntu machine.. i'm logged in but just can't get the tightVNC to configure correctly
[21:50] <vocx> spideyman, you do not need to give the paste in a separate line. Also, describe your problem a little. Don't expect people to read your pastes.
[21:50] <databits> I am trying to get ipw2100 working with a PRO/Wireless 2200BG card
[21:50] <Smegzor> i wondered if that might be it.  thanks.
[21:50] <kahrytan> Smegzor➲  if you use WInehq repo, then you get wine-0.9.51
[21:50] <cafuego> Smegzor: Because software versions don't increase on stable Ubuntu releases.
[21:50] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Already did the reset to defaults
[21:51] <bulmer> databits-> is the driver for it loaded?  what does it show iwconfig ?
[21:51] <spideyman> vocx> thanx
[21:51] <casdio> i can't see special characters in irc... Can you help me?
[21:51] <kahrytan> Smegzor➲  as cafuego  said, Ubuntu developers dont do regular updates, just security.
[21:51] <kahrytan> Smegzor➲  and sometimes, something makes  it in backport
[21:51] <databits> bulmer, I need to install the driver
[21:52] <amitprakash>  org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.DeviceNotFound
[21:52] <amitprakash> any ideas?
[21:52] <jose__> cwill747: I think all you have to do is vncviewer localhost:0 does that not work? also did you set up remote Desktop from system>Preferences?
[21:52] <cwill747> jose__: yes, i have the vncviewer at localhost, and i set up the remote desktop. it worked a couple weeks ago.. i don't know why not now
[21:53] <cwill747> jose__: it comes up with a window as soon as i connect that says "connection closed"
[21:53] <ogre> what can I use to open a .uif file in ubuntu?
[21:53] <erUSUL> rbanffy: and does it have changed anything?
[21:53] <casdio> http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/ << is this a secure website?
[21:54] <Smegzor> speaking of repos, should I enable proposed updates or will I ruin my buntu by playing in there?
[21:54] <ovid> vocx: was pci ide bus master what i was supposed to turn off? because it had the same effect
[21:54] <juano__> casdio: mplayer is available at the repos
[21:54] <juano__> casdio: you should be downloading from synaptic
[21:54] <jose__> try changing the local port from 5900 to say 5999 (I had the problem once where localhost was trying to connect to myown local vnc and not the remote one) and then do vncviewer::5999
[21:54] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Nah. It stays the same
[21:54] <databits> bulmer - you still there ?
[21:54] <casdio> but i want the plugin
[21:54] <casdio> to firefox
[21:55] <juano__> casdio: it is also available
[21:55] <bulmer> databits-> yeah, go and load your driver first
[21:55] <rbanffy> erUSUL: I am considering simply deleting the config files for gnome terminal and let it rebuild them in a sane way
[21:55] <cwill747> jose__: alright lemme try that
[21:55] <alexbobp> What do I do to give my account direct access to usb devices?
[21:55] <ovid> vocx: it locks up in the same spot, 4 and a bit bars left on the install load :(
[21:55] <casdio> i'll try juano, thanks
[21:55] <cwill747> quit
[21:55] <juano__> casdio: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[21:56] <vocx> ovid, then it maybe a video problem?  Have you tried the alternate install CD? What graphics or motherboard do you have?
[21:56] <rbanffy> erUSUL: If I could find the file under .gnome2...
[21:57] <ovid> vocx: inteld865perl and radeon 9800 pro...alternate as in the text based one? ive tried 7.1, 6.x and the text based installer
[21:57] <erUSUL> rbanffy: i'm out of ideas sorry
[21:58] <databits> bulmer - I think I have the drivers installed
[21:58] <vocx> ovid, yes, text based. So you are saying you've tried them and they don't work?
[21:58] <bulmer> databits-> what is the status when you do  iwconfig  ?
[21:58] <rbanffy> erUSUL: OK. Can't blame you. I ran out of them a while ago.
[21:58] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Do you know where gnome-terminal stores its configuration files?
[21:59] <ovid> vocx: yea, i get the same pci error cannot allocate resouce 0 to 000:000:000 text based install stops right after hardware config says [ok]
[21:59] <databits> my wireless card works
[21:59] <vocx> ovid, wow! does the motherboard work at all, with another operating system?
[21:59] <erUSUL> rbanffy: no; sorry
[21:59] <scragar> in pidgin how do I set autoreconnect to chat's when disconected? in GAIM there was an option for it, can't find it in pidgin
[22:00] <databits> bulmer - I'm just trying ot make sure that my driver supports promiscuous mode
[22:00] <passbe> i believe i have a port conflict, how can i determine which programs are accessing a certain port ?
[22:00] <ovid> vocx: yea i have windows running on it...i wanted to dual boot
[22:00] <rbanffy> erUSUL: Thanks anyway. At least you proved me the problem is not trivial ;-)
[22:01] <cafuego> passbe: netstat -nap | grep :port
[22:01] <jonah> hey i've got a really weird thing going on with gutsy. i have a second drive mounted and when i drag my home folder across to it it copies and complete and i think great i'm backed up, then i have a look in the backup folder and only half stuff there if that
[22:01] <ovid> vocx: was pci ide bus the correct item to turn off? there wasnt an option to turn off acpi in bios, just change states (1 or 3)
[22:01] <kahrytan> jonah➲  what's missing?
[22:02] <juano__> scragar: nice question, im interested in this one too
[22:02] <jonah> kahrytan, just a load of file, documents, folders, half my stuff
[22:02] <ovid> vocx: i mispoke earlier...its not installing, thats justafter i hit start or install ubuntu, if that makes a difference
[22:02] <casdio> juano__:  mplayer plugin it's not working
[22:02] <casdio> :S
[22:02] <juano__> casdio: restarted firefox ?
[22:02] <casdio> yes
[22:03] <vocx> ovid, about "pci ide bus" I cannot be sure since every BIOS calls things with different names. But my suggestion would be to turn everything off, serial ports, usb ports and everything else you have but the video.
[22:03] <ovid> vocx: ty, ill go see what else i can turn off
[22:03] <miltiadis21> does anyone knows speed reading from here?
[22:03] <juano__> casdio: restart firefox, then go to  about:plugins   in the url bar in firefox and check at the bottom if mplayer-plugin appears
[22:04] <casdio> no
[22:04] <juano__> casdio: about: plugins without the space (smiley appeared)
[22:04] <scragar> juano__: actualy, just checking on my other computer show's that it was a plugin, I'm gonna see if I can find a version of it for pidgin.
[22:05] <juano__> scragar: great
[22:05] <casdio> juano__:  yes, it appers
[22:05] <casdio> *appears

[22:08] <alinux787878> hi all I have one little problem on ubuntu with beryl ..when I move the window and release it there is a blured border around the window..I want to disable that..how can I do that ?
[22:08] <casdio> juano__:  is it because i have totem activated too?
[22:08] <juano__> scragar: hmmm interesting.. why would they take away that ?
[22:08] <Flare183> beryl is dead

[22:12] <var> when i add a folder
[22:12] <balleyne> Aaron: what are you trying to install? can you just download it from the repositories using your package manager?
[22:12] <Linuxchix0r> cd = change directory
[22:12] <vocx> Aaron, it would help if you told us which guide you are following.
[22:12] <Aaron> i dont know how to do anything heh

[22:13] <Aaron> ahhh lol
[22:13] <casdio> juano__:  does it works?
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> AaronAre you using gutsy or feisty?
[22:14] <gcarrillo> anybody know how to reconstruct a fat32 partition table?
[22:14] <balleyne> Aaron: are you in Ubuntu?
[22:14] <chazco> Hi... whats the best way to move Ubuntu to another HDD (a much, much bigger HDD)...?
[22:14] <Aaron> gusty
[22:14] <juano__> casdio: mm nope, im uninstalling totem to see if it works now
[22:14] <ellonis> hi to the room
[22:14] <balleyne> chazco: I managed to copy my partitions over using the 'dd' command
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: then pidgin is the latest version of gaim
[22:14] <ompaul> gcarrillo, there is dosfsck /dev/whatever
[22:14] <casdio> how do you uninstall it?
[22:14] <Aaron> im trying to install gaim xfire
[22:14] <ompaul> gcarrillo, as long as it is not mounted
[22:14] <chazco> Partitions would need resizing... not the best plan. I'm hoping i can use both HDD's at once
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: and it is already installed
[22:14] <gcarrillo> ompaul: thanks, i'll check that out
[22:14] <ellonis> one simple question: what is the shutdown command for ktimer??
[22:15] <wers> where do I get rhythmbox's lyrics plugin? :)
[22:15] <gcarrillo> ompaul: yup, i can't mount it because the table's hosed
[22:15] <balleyne> chazco: for example, dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 depending on your devices CHECK FIRST!!! Otherwise you might destroy data, use 'man dd' to learn more
[22:15] <Aaron> gaim xfire isnt in the list on pig
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: As a new linux user, it is best to stay in to repos that have been tested before venturing out on your own
[22:15] <Aaron> pid*
[22:15] <chazco> balleyne - I've used dd quite a bit, but it means i'd need to resize partitions, which can takes _ages_
[22:15] <juano__> casdio: uninstall totem-mozilla
[22:15] <balleyne> chazco: I ran dd to clone my old hard drive onto a new one, then I used gparted to resize
[22:15] <Linuxchix0r> there are two copies of the fat on the disc
[22:15] <Kayma> et
[22:15] <casdio> thanks juano__
[22:15] <juano__> casdio: only the mozilla plugin of totem
[22:16] <chazco> Hmm... i've tried gparted before... something about this PC makes it run unbearably slow
[22:16] <Highlife> Hey guys what command can I use to see my system processes?
[22:16] <tom__> i'm having a little trouble setting up dvb tv
[22:16] <balleyne> chazco: hmmm, that's frustrating... I dunno, other options might be partimage, though I found that to take longer and be more confusing
[22:16] <chazco> balleyne - Upscaling 10GB partitions to at leat 100GB will probably take it a few days
[22:16] <scragar> chazco: it's normaly slow, it has to scan all hd's and such and evaluate partitions, free space etc.
[22:16] <Linuxchix0r> high-freq,  top or ps-aux
[22:16] <jose__> cwill747: did you get vnc working?
[22:16] <chazco> Hmm... ok... was wondering if some sort of recursive copy command and reinstall bootloader
[22:17] <tom__> i get audio in kaffeine but not video
[22:17] <casdio> juano__:  where do i type that?
[22:17] <scragar> chazco: "cp -r" is recursive copy
[22:17] <ellonis> ....
[22:17] <chazco> scragar - I gave up last time, it took something like 24 hours to reszie a partition
[22:17] <Aaron> i thought gusty came with a 3d desktop?
[22:17] <balleyne> chazco: that could probably work too, just cp -r and then you may have to reinstall GRUB (check out SuperGrub, it worked wonders for me)
[22:17] <Highlife> Yo how can I veiw my system processes in the terminal?
[22:17] <chazco> balleyne - Sounds promising, was hoping it would work :)
[22:17] <Linuxchix0r> highlife ps
[22:18] <tom__> you need to manually enable 3d desktop
[22:18] <juano__> casdio: System ----> Administration ----> synaptic package manager ---> search  type totem , search for totem mozilla plugin and mark for complete removal
[22:18] <var> can i install beryl on top of whatever window manager i currently have?
[22:18] <var> is it a pain in the ass?
[22:18] <scragar> Highlife: "top" or "ps" or "ps -A"

[22:23] <Smegzor> I'm wondering if I need to install anything to support video capture before I can use the card?
[22:23] <Aaron> i typed sudo and just got info
[22:24] <vocx> ovid, oh, destroying Windows always works. Just install grub in the mbr. But first unplug the drive and check the cables and connectors, then the BIOS should autodetect it so you can start your installation like it were a new drive.
[22:24] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: configuration manager? what is that?
[22:24] <peepsalot> Aaron, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[22:24] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, ? uhm - the main configuration manager
[22:24] <fxfitz> crdlb, Thank you! I'll check it out. Is it hard to set up?
[22:24] <Aaron> there it goes ty
[22:24] <balleyne> peepslot: a bit of both - look in Edit->Preferences, Content tab, Mange button under File Types - there appears to be an entry there for flash - not sure if that's where you change it though, never tried it, just a guess
[22:24] <Aaron> ugh still not used to right clicking to copy and paste
[22:24] <crdlb> fxfitz: nope :)
[22:24] <ovid> vocx: is there any way to install windows after i do that?
[22:24] <fxfitz> crdlb, Awesome. Thanks!
[22:24] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: main configuration manager?.. I still don't know what your talking about.. configuration of what? gnome? samba? firefox?
[22:25] <crdlb> fxfitz: I set it up a long time ago, but iirc it was quite simple
[22:25] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, Basically I'm trying to get multiple monitors set up(using twin view from the sound of it) on my 7900GS(nvidia card), however the screen and graphics window seems to think I have 2 Syncmaster 205BW s when I have 1 of them and a Dell M782p when I change it and restart X it just resets the settings, plus it doesn't even display the correct resolution options, and I think...
[22:25] <bfrog> does install on software raid take significantly longer because of the syncing stuff ?
[22:25] <Alex_Gaynor> ...one monitor might be disabled in there, but I honestly have no clue if that even affects anything at this point
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, system configuration
[22:25] <tyczek> hi... is smplayer have it's own icon or I not?
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> am I in the ubuntu channel??
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> :)
[22:25] <bfrog> cause like... my install seems hung up
[22:25] <Aaron> how do i get java plugins for mozilla ? i tried to find a tutorial for that but couldnt
[22:26] <casdio> juano__:  another thing... can you see youtube videos correctly?
[22:26] <juano__> casdio: yes
[22:26] <vocx> ovid, sure. You need to get your hard drive working first. Then you allocate enough space for each Operating system. This will save you the trouble to repartition later. But install Windows First in the first partition and Ubuntu later in the other partitions.
[22:26] <juano__> casdio: install flash
[22:26] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: yes.. you're in the ubuntu channel.. you mean like a place where you can change settings etc for ubuntu? I don't think there is one simple place to do that.. well.. on xubuntu there is.. but that's another distro
[22:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: I dont use dual monitors.. you are not trying to get different res's on each one are you?
[22:26] <balleyne> Aaron: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:26] <casdio> juano__:  i can see it, but i can't see the buttons
[22:27] <casdio> like forward
[22:27] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, I used it the other night on a different system, I ran it through the command line.. something similar to ntconfig
[22:27] <casdio> and i can't search forward inthe video
[22:27] <casdio> :S
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> casdio:  see the topic before trying to install flash
[22:27] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I am one should be running 1680*1050(samsung) and the dell should be at 1280*1024 my understanding was that twin view should be able to do this
[22:27] <juano__> casdio: you mean play/stop etc ?
[22:27] <crdlb> fxfitz: it appears to be as simple as putting 'Port 631' in /etc/cups.d/ports.conf
[22:27] <casdio> yes juano__
[22:27] <balleyne> Aaron: into the terminal? there are keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Shift+V - if that's what you're talking about with right-clicking..
[22:27] <Aaron> how do i install java plugins for mozilla?
[22:27] <ovid> vocx: yea i already did all that, i have windows running on half the drive now already...ima try to install grub
[22:27] <crdlb> fxfitz: on the computer with the printer
[22:27] <balleyne> Aaron: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:27] <mirak> does anyone knows how to use gnome-user-share ?
[22:27] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: and what could you change in this application? what did it look like? terminal or gui?
[22:27] <juano__> casdio: where did you install flash from ?
[22:27] <ovid> vocx: yea i already did all that, i have windows running on half the drive now already...can i install grub before anything? maybe that'll fix it
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: someone else may know, but I was not aware that you could do that.. not that I have tried
[22:28] <juano__> casdio: did you let mozilla install it for you ?
[22:28] <casdio> mozilla itself
[22:28] <balleyne> Aaron: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Browser_Plug-ins
[22:28] <casdio> yes
[22:28] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: Hopefully you can, I was doing it under windows :P
[22:28] <Aaron> mmm wiki lol
[22:28] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, gui, to change the desktop features like "display home folder on desktop" etc
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: This aint windows
[22:28] <CaptainMorgan> to name only one
[22:28] <casdio> juano__:  yes, i did...
[22:28] <juano__> casdio: weird... , did you install java too ?
[22:28] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: No it ain't, and I like everything better except setting up X
[22:28] <casdio> jre?
[22:29] <casdio> juano__:  jre?
[22:29] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: gnome-control-center?
[22:29] <vocx> ovid, I thought you said you wiped the drive... Okay, I get you know.  Yes I guess you can install grub first. But now that I think about it, maybe the Ubuntu installer is doing strange things with your hardware, so I would suggest trying another Live CD like Knoppix to repartition.
[22:29] <Aaron> are there places i can get instrustions on how to install WoW and Steam and such with wine?
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Alex_Gaynor: Once you get it set you will love it.. but yes, requires more work but allows more flexibility that MS
[22:29] <juano__> casdio: install sun-java6-plugin
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Aaron: #winehq
[22:30] <juano__> casdio: install that
[22:30] <balleyne> Aaron: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[22:30] <casdio> ok juano__
[22:30] <Highlife> yo does anyone know how I could get xgl to stop eating 96 percent of my resources?
[22:30] <CaptainMorgan> that's not it
[22:30] <CaptainMorgan> Slart,
[22:30] <balleyne> Highlife: did you see the link I sent you earlier?
[22:30] <juano__> casdio: and sun-java6-bin
[22:30] <Alex_Gaynor> Can anyone here help me with a mutliple monitors issue on an nvidia card?
[22:30] <Highlife> balleyne: no srry I had to step away for a moment
[22:30] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: gconf  then?
[22:30] <balleyne> Highlife: http://blaise.ca/blog/2007/10/24/gutsy-upgrade-xgl-problems/
[22:30] <Highlife> thx
[22:31] <ricanelite> what is the issue? Out of no where my PS/2 Keyboard just stopped working
[22:31] <balleyne> Highlife: I had to disable it myself (Compiz still works)
[22:31] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: or.. gconf-editor
[22:31] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, gconf what? I'm getting bad command
[22:31] <juano__> casdio: actually its sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin what you need
[22:31] <ricanelite> What can be the issue? Everytime I boot into Ubuntu I get a option where it says if I want to use the Gnome Settings or X Setting it comes up everytime
[22:31] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, that's the one thanks! ... why isn't this one easily navigated to using the system pref or admin menu?
[22:32] <ricanelite> Also if I was to install a new Keyboard how will I go about doing it because I just purchase a new USB KB
[22:32] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: not many people change those settings... and you can do a lot of damage I suppose.
[22:32] <Yutlin> Anyone have an idea why a smb mount I added to my fstab doesn't seem to mount at boot but will mount fine with a "sudo mount -a" ??
[22:32] <casdio> juano__:  that i have
[22:32] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: and that program changes settings for gnome only.. the system configuration stuff are text files in /etc
[22:32] <ovid> vocx: i can run knoppix and have it partition and then not install knoppix? because i want ubuntu :D
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: ok, then you have java
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: did you read the topic on flash ? the installation is broken temporarily
[22:33] <juano__> casdio: it can be something to do with that
[22:34] <vocx> ovid, of course. Knoppix is just a Live CD, with optional persistent mode. I like using Knoppix as a partitioning tool.
[22:34] <Highlife> balleyne: I don't have an xserver-xgl folder there??
[22:34] <hammer> re
[22:34] <hammer> re
[22:34] <casdio> juano__:  no... where?
[22:35] <xDCDx> my Network Manager icon (the one next to the clock) disappeared for no reason. I tried reinstalling network manager apple to no avail. I also tried adding it with 'Add to Panel' -> Network Monitor, but that one doesn't have wireless functionality. What can I do?
[22:35] <hammer> hello
[22:35] <juano__> casdio: type /topic
[22:35] <balleyne> Highlife: that's ok, I believe you can just create it if it doesn't already exist (mkdir, if the touch command doesn't create it itself)
[22:35] <hammer> what this
[22:35] <ovid> vocx: cool, im downloading it now
[22:35] <ovid> vocx: so i should just have it make the linunx partitions while i currently have windows installed? or start over again
[22:35] <anathematic> where should i look for installing secure http on my ubuntu web server?
[22:36] <balleyne> anathematic: the openssl package? just a guess
[22:36] <vocx> ovid, you could try making the partitions first. If that doesn't work then start over again. It's your choice.
[22:36] <balleyne> !openssl
[22:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openssl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:37] <balleyne> !ssl
[22:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:37] <anathematic> balleyne: yeah i remember doing it a while ago but i've got no idea now
[22:37] <casdio> juano__:  so i have to wiat?
[22:37] <casdio> *wait
[22:37] <Highlife> balleyne: I'm assumeing i need to restart for these settings to take effect?
[22:37] <ovid> vocx: cool, thanks again man, i just HAVE to stop using windows
[22:37] <anathematic> balleyne: i found it http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4466.html lol
[22:37] <anathematic> ty anyway
[22:37] <juano__> casdio: well, i would... , cause if its broken its not a good idea to try to install it and use it cause there is a good chance something will go wrong... but you can try though to reinstall it
[22:38] <balleyne> Highlife: I assume restarting X should work (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace - it'll restart IMMEDIATELY though)
[22:38] <casdio> juano__:  i'll wait... thanks for all the help ;)
[22:38] <juano__> casdio: no problem... anytime
[22:38] <Alex_Gaynor> Jack_Sparrow: When I try to run sudo nvidia-settings it just tells me that nvidia x isn't running, even though xorg.conf lists the driver as nvidia
[22:38] <vocx> ovid, no problem. Don't rush things. Virtual Machines help a lot in the transition. Expect with 3D games of course.

[22:41] <vocx> MartianLobster, refine your search like "apt-cache search R statistics" you can use various words after "search".  Also try synaptic for more descriptions.

[22:42] <Highlife> balleyne: Thx bud, worked like a charm
[22:42] <soulrider> i see
[22:42] <Aaron> i installed java but its really jittery on a webpage and still says i need to install plugins

[22:44] <var> ah ok
[22:44] <amitprakash> Odd-rationale, aww... any workaround?
[22:44] <vocx> var, you can use any KDE application in Gnome if you install the necessary libraries otherwise you cannot
[22:44] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: yup!
[22:44] <Slart> var: amarok doesn't exist for gnome.. it's a KDE application
[22:44] <Flare183> var:> look

[22:44] <Slart> var: but you can install those libs and it will play nice with gnome too
[22:44] <var> awesome
[22:44] <var> :)
[22:44] <Flare183> exactly
[22:45] <var> <3 amarok
[22:45] <Slart> oh.. it has it's ugly sides too.. but it's ok =)
[22:46] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, which I'll get you in a moment...

[22:47] <scragar> just wondering, is there any wait or such command in bash? I'm trying to get a terminal opened though double clicking a program to stay open, but it's not working(only needs to stay open long enough for me to see if it worked or failed)
[22:48] <Matt> sry for the spelling
[22:48] <Flare183> Matt:> wireless?
[22:48] <kelsin> scragar: can you not run this program in a terminal to begin with?
[22:48] <brophat> ubuntu 7.10 does not give me the option of resolution higher than 800x600 any ideas?
[22:48] <Slart> scragar: try sleep NBR
[22:48] <Matt> yea
[22:48] <Smegzor> I want to edit the Gnome menu and add a new category for all the apps I use all the time.  Where do I edit the menu or what program do i need?
[22:48] <kelsin> scragar: and bash does have wait which waits for a certain process to finish, or sleep that takes a number of seconds to pause
[22:48] <vocx> MartianLobster, ha, supposedly "apt-cache search" already does regexp so the need of egrep is not necessary, but glad you found it. In the programming talk of ubuntuforums.org there are a couple of guys that know things about R, and they usually suggest Python bindings, RPy.
[22:48] <Flare183> Matt:> ok you need the firmware and fwcutter then
[22:48] <scragar> kelsin: I could, but it's going on my brothers comp, and he would flip out if he had to touch the command line lol.
[22:49] <Matt> how do i install if i cant login
[22:49] <kelsin> Smegzor: system -> prefs -> main menu
[22:49] <Smegzor> thanks
[22:49] <amitprakash> Odd-rationale, done ;D

[22:50] <Odd-rationale> amitprakash: Hold on, I can't find the link, I thought I bookmarked it...
[22:50] <MartianLobster> vocx I should check out the ubuntuforums I guess.  I am new to ubuntu.  Today is the first day that I have an ubuntu machine, and have the wifi working, and am getting ready to make it my main machine
[22:50] <Flare183> Rescue mode maybe
[22:50] <Matt> do you know anybody that does:P
[22:50] <scragar> Slart: that works fine, thank you.
[22:50] <amitprakash> :D
[22:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop

[22:51] <vocx> MartianLobster, congratulations. Regarding ubuntuforums, search before you post. Everything has been answered before. Welcome.
[22:51] <scragar> Aaron: ~/ is your home directory, .wine is hidden, but you can show them by pressing ctr+H
[22:51] <Flare183> Matt:> it give you the root permissions without having to login but you must be careful
[22:51] <Smegzor> hmm..  I added a new menu and exited the program, but my new menu doesn't appear anywhere.  Is there another step?
[22:52] <scragar> Smegzor: you need to add items to the menu for it to show
[22:52] <kelsin> Smegzor: if there are no items in that menu it won't show up... in case that's it
[22:52] <Smegzor> aha!  thanks

[22:55] <brophat> my administration tool is not giving me the option for screen resolution higher than 800x600  should I go into xorg.conf file?
[22:55] <high-freq> can someone plz enlighten me on how to get this share to be recognized from a windoz vista box to smb4k
[22:55] <c-master> Flare183: that's ok
[22:55] <Smegzor> strange.. I can't launch a terminal window!  They start up then go away.
[22:55] <c-master> but iwant to setup on my f disk.
[22:55] <c-master> i partition c d and f
[22:56] <wols_> brophat: what videodriver?
[22:56] <Smegzor> but I can launch a konsole just fine.
[22:56] <Flare183> c-master:> bruned the cd yet?
[22:56] <c-master> f is 35 gb and for only ubuntu
[22:56] <Alex_Gaynor> When I try to run nvidia-settings it tells me that nvidia x isn't running and to run nvidia-xconfig when I do that and restart x however it gives me the same error, can anyone help?
[22:56] <c-master> Flare183: yes
[22:56] <kelsin> c-master: linux does not name drives the way windows does. I would edit those partitions to make drive f just unpartitioned space. You can then tell ubuntu to use the free space on a drive to install
[22:56] <scragar> c-master: it'll ask you about your partitions during settup, just make sure you can tell them appart without drive letters
[22:56] <Flare183> c-master:> now put the cd into the computer and restart the computer
[22:56] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[22:56] <brophat> wols_ nvidia
[22:56] <var> is there a better flash player for firefox?  i installed the adobe nonfree flash plugin, and it didn't work, so i installed Gnash, and it doesn't display right
[22:56] <var> do i have any other options?
[22:56] <wols_> brophat: and what monitor is set in xorg.conf?
[22:57] <high-freq> can someone plz enlighten me on how to get this share to be recognized from a windoz vista box to smb4k
[22:57] <Flare183> !repeat
[22:57] <ubotu> 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
[22:57] <eido> can I dual boot 7.04 as an original install and install 7.10 on top...
[22:57] <kelsin> var: gnash is the current open source try, adobe nonfree is the adobe player. That's all you get afaik
[22:57] <Odd-rationale> var: The flashplugin package is currently broken. See the topic.
[22:57] <Jack_Sparrow> var: Per the topic the current flash is broken...
[22:57] <brophat> wols_ first of all is the xorg.conf that is used in the /etc/X11 folder?
[22:57] <wols_> brophat: yes
[22:57] <kelsin> eido: if by "on top" you just mean dual boot two ubuntu installs, of course
[22:57] <var> d'oh
[22:57] <Jack_Sparrow> var: Odd-rationale.. just posted a workaround
[22:57] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: http://dpaste.com/28316/
[22:57] <eido> sorry bad verbiage
[22:58] <brophat> wols_ Identifier      "A70"
[22:58] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: there is no kernel module for nvidia?
[22:58] <Odd-rationale> var: see my posts to amitprakash
[22:58] <var> Odd-rationale: in this channel?
[22:58] <var> my backlog is borked
[22:58] <wols_> brophat: that's nice, and what is that supposed to tell me?
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> var: hold a sec.. will cut paste for you
[22:58] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: I don't think so, I just let Ubuntu install the driver using the restricted driver manager
[22:58] <brophat> wols_ dunno
[22:58] <var> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[22:59] <sleepcat> does this work on ubuntu? find ./ -type f -exec grep "foo bar" {} +
[22:59]  * var gets a warm fuzzy feeling
[22:59] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: install the kernel module too. try to modprobe nvidia
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> var: OK First *completely* remove the flashplugin-nonfree package via synaptic...
[22:59] <PirateHead> wols_: Have you tried the restricted manager?
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> var: The workaround is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin,  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb
[22:59] <Smegzor> um..  stupid question but.. I want to add my favourite apps to my custom menu (Work).  I can browse to the apps but I don't know where they live! :O  <--- newb!
[22:59] <kelsin> sleepcat: it should, are you getting an error or something?
[22:59] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: and check your xorg.conf uses the "nvidia"  driver
[22:59] <var> great thanks!
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> Thanks, Jack_Sparrow
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: Thanks for that.. I made note of it
[22:59] <PirateHead> Smegzor: Can you give an example of an app you want to add?
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: We should put that into the topic
[22:59] <mular> hey guys had a question with partitions.. I was having problems with an NTFS drive I accidently made a swap.. reformatted it back to ntfs now the whole hard drive comes up sdc when it used to come up sdb
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> Jack_Sparrow: Can you?
[23:00] <neil_d> I have a ubuntu install that has been on 3 motherboards, as a result now the network interface is known as eth3 how can I reset this to eth0 ?
[23:00] <Smegzor> pretty much anything that is in the menu already.  eg.  ToDo
[23:00] <var> how do i install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb?  sorry im so newb
[23:00] <scragar> Smegzor: right click one, the pick properties, copy the path.
[23:00] <mular> well not really a problem I guess, just mode a why did that happen / is it ok question
[23:00] <var> sudo apt-get install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb ???
[23:00] <mikebeecham> are you still up and about Jack_Sparrow?
[23:00] <sleepcat> kelsin: i'm doing it on solaris and it works.  I'm wondering if it works on ubuntu since i don't have a linux system nearby
[23:00] <kelsin> Smegzor: should be able to go to the item already in the menu and click properties, then just copy what's there
[23:00] <Odd-rationale> var: Download the .deb file
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Odd-rationale: I can suggest it... but not sure.. it is a bit long
[23:00] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Yeah, it says driver "nvidia"
[23:00] <PirateHead> Smegzor: Okay. Are you using the tool from System -> Preferences -> Main Menu?
[23:00] <brophat> wols_ in the monitor section it only has two lines   Identifier      "A70"   and      Option          "DPMS"
[23:00] <var> ah i see, it's a recognized format
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: BArely
[23:00] <Smegzor> yeah I thought of that.  Some of the apps aren't listed though.  Not everything installs a menu entry.
[23:00] <kelsin> sleepcat: it should if they are using the same version of find, or at least compatible options
[23:00] <wols_> PirateHead: no but I have used pum and saw this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/misc/nvidia-new-kernel-source
[23:00] <Smegzor> PirateHead: yep
[23:01] <Odd-rationale> var: Then double-click the file.
[23:01] <var> Odd-rationale: thanks
[23:01] <PirateHead> Smegzor: So you've created a new folder called Work and it's showing up like you want it to?
[23:01] <var> i owe you one
[23:01] <Odd-rationale> var: Of course.
[23:01] <kelsin> Smegzor: you can always type "dpkg -L <package-name>" to see what files a package installed to find binaries, most live in /usr/bin
[23:01] <Smegzor> er. yes..  once I've added an app :)

[23:02] <brophat> wols_ thanks
[23:02] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: The restricted driver manager also says that nvidia is in use
[23:02] <ovid> vocx: would my raid have something to do with it not working? i dont think the knoppix disc can see my raid to partition it (do i use partition image program?)
[23:02] <kelsin> eido: the default ubuntu install page has links to how to isntall on a flash drive, msg ubotu with "install" to get the link
[23:03] <eido> kelsin: ty
[23:03] <vocx> ovid, doh!    Of course raid is bad for any installation, what were you thinking?
[23:03] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: is the nvidia kernel module loaded and is the nvidia driver used in your xorg.conf?
[23:03] <yubwyub> hmm.... any ideas here about a screen resolotion problem I have? it says currently 1600x1200 50Hz (50 hertz should really be impossibe!) the ones I can choose from is 50Hz, 57Hz, 58Hz, 59Hz.
[23:03] <yubwyub> anyway... I want to chnage to 1280x1024 (web text is too small now) but the only Hz-settings there is for that is 52, 75, 76, 78, 79 (it should be at least 85 I think.....)
[23:03] <ovid> vocx: haha, yea i just thought of that...so..thats the issue? knoppix got pci error and 1000 other random crap i couldnt read
[23:03] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: It is used in xorg.conf how would I check if the kernel module is loaded
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: TFT LCD or a CRT?
[23:04] <yubwyub> and when I tried that 1280x1024 79Hz it did go to something that looks like interlace mode. horrible.
[23:04] <yubwyub> CRT
[23:04] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: lsmod
[23:04] <brophat> wols_ nvidia driver is better than the nv driver rightz/
[23:04] <peterpan_> how to mount
[23:04] <irreducibilis> Precisely 52 Hz?
[23:04] <irreducibilis> What kind of Frame Rate is that?
[23:04] <xoqa> how would one download http://hometown.aol.com/jesusandsue2/MeleKalikimakaBingCrosby.wav ?
[23:04] <vocx> ovid, it's like "oh, I forgot to tell you I'm pregnant"
[23:04] <void^> yubwyub: that's a feature of nvidia's driver, it doesn't show actual refresh rates by default.
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xrg
[23:04] <root> hallowwwwwwwwwwwwww
[23:04] <yubwyub> it is and DELL P990 (trinitron)
[23:04] <kelsin> brophat: nvidia is the official drive from nvidia, nv is the driver without good 3d support, but fully open source
[23:04] <wols_> yubwyub: there you can set max res
[23:04] <scragar>  xoqa: wget http://hometown.aol.com/jesusandsue2/MeleKalikimakaBingCrosby.wav

[23:05] <neil_d> I have a ubuntu install that has been on 3 motherboards, as a result now the network interface is known as eth3 how can I reset this to eth0 ?
[23:05] <ovid> vocx: haha, sorry, i dont know crap about linux and what it needs...can i break my raid and install on one of the drives you think?
[23:05] <peterpan_> how to mount in a way that is readonly to me.. (iam the only user.. my login name is log1 . (am i root also?))       but i want it to be writeable or deletable by root only.
[23:05] <peterpan_> juano__ yes

[23:05] <ubotu> peterpan_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[23:05] <xoqa> scragar: yeah.. firefox... nope.. things are running slow since there's many programs running atm
[23:05] <yubwyub> void^, aha so it shows some fake numbers?
[23:05] <TheZealot> Is there a way to search your filesystem for siles by their date created? specifically files created today?
[23:05] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: glxinfo says direct rendering is working?
[23:05] <peterpan_> juano__ its fat32
[23:05] <brophat> kelsin after I installed 7.10 it grabbed nvidia for me. maybe my box with the nvidia won't allow over 800x600 resolution? but with the nv it will?
[23:06] <juano__> peterpan_: filesystem should be vfat then
[23:06] <vocx> ovid, I've never setup an array, but sure you know how to do it since it's your own PC.  Is it in the BIOS?

[23:06] <wols_> PirateHead: start with lspci to check which card it is
[23:06] <eido> wow
[23:06] <Smegzor> Hmm!  Right clicking on menu entries doesn't give me a properties option so I can't use that method to find out where an app lives.  I looked for ToDo in /user/bin and it isn't there.
[23:06] <peterpan_> juano__ but how to mount in such a way that only root has write access.
[23:06] <Some_Person> Please help me! My screensaver and glxgears is choppy! According to glxgears, its using about 14 FPS. According to glxinfo, Direct Rendering is on.
[23:07] <TimS> Timmy you there?
[23:07] <peterpan_> juano__ for others . it should be read only
[23:07] <kelsin> brophat: so xorg is using the nvidia driver now? but not letting your go above 800x600? Should probably run "gksu nvidia-settings" to run the nvidia settings problem and set up your resolution how you like
[23:07] <kelsin> peterpan_: are you mounting it from /etc/fstab?
[23:07] <TimS> Timmy?
[23:07] <TimS> Guess not.
[23:07] <Smegzor> aha!  I found properties! :D
[23:07] <PirateHead> wols_: It's a  ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[23:07] <scragar> peterpan_: mount -r DEVICE
[23:07] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Whoops, heres the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48592/
[23:07] <mular> how come some drives that get mounted automatically appear on the desktop, but some do not? how do you change that?
[23:08] <vocx> Some_Person, what card? what drivers?
[23:08] <brophat> kelsin yes you understand the problem. ok will do
[23:08] <TimS> How rude.
[23:08] <irreducibilis> I have always wondered, what exactly does the ops command do? Does it turn an op temporarily into a bot to automatically fix the problem? :/
[23:08] <Some_Person> vocx: nVidia GeForce 6100 using nvidia-glx-new driver. It was working fine yesterday by the way.
[23:08] <wols_> PirateHead: fglrx should do it
[23:08] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: your nvidia-glx is not loaded/borkedn
[23:08] <peterpan_> scragar iam new. can you tell me how to do it in gui.. iam using kubuntu
[23:09] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: How would I fix that
[23:09] <Smegzor> bother!  the prefs -> main menu doesn't give me the ability to delete empty menus or copy and paste items to other menus :(
[23:09] <kelsin> irreducibilis: it just displays the ops names, so they get a highlight, normally one responds pretty quickly
[23:09] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: pastebin your Xorg log
[23:09] <brophat> kelsin the command would be sudo gksu nvidia-settings  ??
[23:09] <ifireball> mular: I think this has to do with whither the drive appears in /etc/fstab or not, but I never really looked into it
[23:09] <scragar> peterpan_: I don't think you can do it from a gui, but if you can open kommand or whatever it's called
[23:09] <PirateHead> wols_: How do I intall fglrx? I used the Restricted Manager to install the driver that it suggested, but my glxinfo still says no direct rendering. Back in Feisty, direct rendering worked fine.
[23:09] <wols_> brophat: no sudo
[23:09] <kelsin> brophat: don't need sudo, gksu is sudo but for graphical apps
[23:09] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Where is that located?
[23:09] <brophat> ah ok
[23:09] <wols_> PirateHead: pastebin your Xorg logs as well
[23:09] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: /var/log/
[23:10] <peterpan_> scragar how to do it in konsol... exactly?
[23:10] <mular> ifireball, ok hrm well that can't be actually because my external drive isn't found in fstab it auto mounts on boot and also goes to the desktop
[23:10] <Smegzor> how am I supposed to modify my menus without delete or copy and paste?  Its like this tool is only half done.
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> irreducibilis: Just note that !ops involves special probes and high voltage.. not to be used lightly
[23:10] <PirateHead> wols_: You mean my xorg.conf?
[23:10] <scragar> peterpan_: should be somewhere in the kmenu, if you can't find it press alt+F2, then type xterm. it's not as pretty, but it works
[23:10] <wols_> PirateHead: no
[23:10] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48593/ Thanks
[23:10] <wols_> PirateHead: I mean what I said
[23:11] <PirateHead> wols_: I don't know where the logs are.
[23:11] <brophat> wols_ my X configure program is hanging
[23:11] <eido> kelsin: sorry the install page doesn't seem to mention usb installs and almost all google search link to this site, http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[23:11] <ifireball> mular: I mean, it doesn't have an Icon if its in fstab, it automounts on boot with the same hotplug process if mounts when you plug it in
[23:11] <TheZealot> Is there a way to search your filesystem for siles by their date created? specifically files created today?
[23:11] <Some_Person> vocx: can you help me?
[23:12] <PirateHead> wols_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[23:12] <eido> kelsin: i think i can work with that tutorial my only question is after downloading the iso do I have to mount it then copy all files to the flash pen?
[23:12] <scragar> TheZealot: the "find" command offers time searching, but it's a slow process
[23:12] <vocx> Some_Person, sorry, no experience with it. Just wanted to know if you were using a VIA card.
[23:12] <Smegzor> yay! I found a delete option for menu entries in Main Menu (it was hiding)
[23:12] <ifireball> TheZealot: you can do that with the "find" command
[23:12] <Smegzor> still no copy and paste
[23:12] <eido> kelsin: this is the last line of the tutorial:     At this stage, our usb pendrive is ready to host the liveCD image. Now, let's copy the files to the usb bar.
[23:12] <kelsin> eido: on the main install page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation) you goto the install without cd section and there is a section called FromUSBStick
[23:12] <TheZealot> im searching the man page for find and not seeing a time created option
[23:12] <peterpan_> scragar then
[23:12] <Some_Person> Please help me! My screensaver and glxgears is choppy! According to glxgears, its using about 14 FPS. According to glxinfo, Direct Rendering is on. I have an nVidia card.
[23:12] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: pastebin your xorg.conf. I see way too much vesa in that log
[23:13] <kelsin> eido: it sounds like you have to copy the files to me
[23:13] <infinitycircuit> TheZealot, try find with the -cmax tag
[23:13] <wols_> PirateHead: yes
[23:13] <mular> ifireball, ah ok I see.. I was trying to add my external drive in as UUID, I was using command blkid but I dont think those are right.. they seem.. off because its saying my ntfs drive is ext2
[23:13] <infinitycircuit> TheZealot, it's all in the man page
[23:13] <wols_> brophat: hanging?
[23:13] <GSF1200S_> some person... what card?
[23:13] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: What are you trying to do? Sorry I didn't catch the whole thing.
[23:13] <TheZealot> ok infinit, thanks
[23:13] <nano__> fsck
[23:13] <scragar> peterpan_: do you know the device name? (as in /dev/sdc or whatever?)
[23:13] <brophat> wols_ not hanging anymore, I x'd it out hahahaha
[23:13] <eido> kelsin: Installing from a USB memory stick.
[23:13] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48594/
[23:13] <eido> I wanted to install to a usb
[23:13] <Smegzor> I'm trying to edit my gnome menu, adding a Work category and then adding launchers to all the stuff I use all the time.
[23:14] <Some_Person> GSF1200S_: nVidia GeForce 6100
[23:14] <Smegzor> But the prefs -> main menu tool lacks copy and paste so i can see the entries I want, but do nothing much with them,
[23:14] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: And what problems are you facing?
[23:14] <Some_Person> GSF1200S_: by the way, it was working fine yesterday
[23:14] <kelsin> eido: well it sounds like you found a tutorial that tells you how to isntall the live cd onto a usb stick, EXACTLY THE SAME as that ubuntu page tells you to do, so you should be all set
[23:14] <phaedral> thinking of going ubuntu on my laptop; compaq presario v6133cl
[23:14] <eido> sorry i guess it is what i want just worded oddly
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Some_Person: did you install anything since then?
[23:14] <vocx> Some_Person, I can only suggest you give the card and drives you were using when asking for help. Also check xorg.conf and the logs to be sure you haven't accidentally reverted back to another driver.
[23:14] <phaedral> perhaps there's a guru out there with words of wisdom on the matter?
[23:14] <brophat> kelsin I did that gksu command
[23:14] <scragar> Smegzor: personaly I'd just create a drawer, then right click the menu and choose "add to panel", befor edragging them into the drawer. far simpler
[23:14] <Some_Person> GSF1200S_: FileZilla
[23:15] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: Have you already created your "work" catagory?
[23:15] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: yep
[23:15] <GSF1200S_> some_person: yeah, you should get better framerates- what driver you using? website, synaptic, or restricted drivers manager?
[23:15] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: how did you get this xorg.conf?
[23:15] <Some_Person> GSF1200S_: restricted
[23:15] <PirateHead> wols_: My xorg log is here: http://pastebin.com/d748a52e8
[23:15] <Smegzor> scragar: simple sounds good
[23:15] <peterpan_> scragar sda6 and sda6 and sda4 in /dev                       mount point /media
[23:15] <ifireball> mular: it depends on how exactly does it recognise the FS, it may be marked as ext2 in the partition table while still being formatted as ntfs
[23:15] <brophat> kelsin the resolution still shows 800x600 do I need to reboot?
[23:15] <wols_> PirateHead: never use pastebin.com
[23:15] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: No idea, I haven't touched the file manually at all, it was generated for me by something or another I guess
[23:15] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: Is "work" going to be at the same level as Acc. office. internet, etc?
[23:16] <snowboardracer> hello, i recently installed ubuntu and have compiz up and running with my restricted nvidia drivers, but i have a few questions.....can someone help me out?
[23:16] <PirateHead> wols_: Why is that? It seems to work alright.
[23:16] <kelsin> brophat: after settings and saving you need to at least restart X, so just logout and back in
[23:16] <kelsin> !anyone | snowboardracer
[23:16] <ubotu> snowboardracer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[23:16] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: did you use envy, automatix or something like this?
[23:16] <mular> ifireball: oh ok thanks, odd thing it when I do it by uuid and do sudo mount -a it gives me an error can't find device ;(
[23:16] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: yes
[23:16] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: No, I don't even know what those are
[23:16] <scragar> peterpan_: so the command: "mount -r /dev/sda6" should work, let me know if it shows an error
[23:16] <wols_> PirateHead: cause it's very very slow for many many people and often times out
[23:16] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: OK and can you see it in the left column?
[23:16] <cabroni_> what program i use to record my desktop?
[23:17] <brophat> kelsin when I did the command it just gave me back the command prompt, does that sound correct?
[23:17] <kelsin> !screencast | cabroni_
[23:17] <ubotu> cabroni_: Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.
[23:17] <Smegzor> not yet.  Its still empty as I am having trouble adding anything to it
[23:17] <snowboardracer> i insatlled ubuntu, got compiz up and running well after installing the restricted nvidia new drivers through add/remove, but i tried to get the cube working and typed in "compizconfig" in terminal, and since then all new windows start opening up behind the top panel......i have to hide the top panel to move them down
[23:17] <Smegzor> i'll add some junk entry
[23:17] <peterpan_> scragar dont you have to give mount point
[23:17] <PirateHead> wols_: Can you access it now?
[23:17] <kelsin> brophat: no it should have opened the graphical nvidia-settings program
[23:17] <peterpan_> scragar dont you have to give mount point ? and whats -r for?
[23:17] <ifireball> mular: hmm... well I never really liked that UUID thing, maybe it doesn't really work over USB, maybe you can user a label instead?
[23:17] <brophat> kelsin it didn't
[23:17] <wols_> PirateHead: no
[23:17] <jumpkick> how can I make tab completion work inside grub when run from a terminal?
[23:18] <kelsin> brophat: try running nvidia-settings without the gksu, it's probably not isntalled
[23:18] <wols_> jumpkick: with "tab" ?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia-settings
[23:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia-settings - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:18] <scragar> peterpan_: -r is read only, and you don't always need a mount point, since you mounted it before it should still be in mtab or fstab and thus mount point not needed.
[23:18] <kelsin> brophat: did you install the nvidia driver from the restricted driver manager?
[23:18] <xoqa> configure: error: X11 libraries not found, so X11 package cannot be built
[23:18] <xoqa> See `config.log' for more details.    ....where would this config.log be?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !info nvidia-settings
[23:18] <mular> ifireball, oh hrm thats a thought actually.. Its my "windows drive" and I would like it to be mounted with the label winxp or something not sure how to do that in fstab trying to google it ;)
[23:18] <ubotu> nvidia-settings: Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 1.0+20070502-1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 675 kB, installed size 1616 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[23:18] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: ok I've added amarok to it and its in my menu now.
[23:18] <PirateHead> wols_: I stuck it up at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48597/ as well - maybe that will work better.
[23:18] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: When you open, pref -> main menu, you have a window with two columns. In the left do you have work along side Internet and Office?
[23:19] <peterpan_> scragar i mounted it as ntfs.  not i changed it to fat
[23:19] <brophat> kelsin after I installed 7.10 it prompted me to do that and I did
[23:19] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: yep
[23:19] <mular> I think I understand the fstab but I am not understanding like the options.. like dump pass.. and when to use say rw user auto or stuff like that
[23:19] <Some_Person> GSF1200S_: nevermind, just fixed it myself, i turned on Sync to VBlank in nvidia-settings. Thanks for trying though
[23:19] <GSF1200S_> some person- hop into synaptic and tell me what version of the driver is installed
[23:19] <GSF1200S_> oh ok.. least its fixed... ;)
[23:19] <scragar> peterpan_: sorry, but I don't understand what you just said
[23:19] <brophat> kelsin i mean it had that proprietary icon on the top bar for installing the nvidia driver
[23:19] <wols_> PirateHead: you load the fglrx driver and MESA-glx
[23:20] <peterpan_> scragar i mounted it as ntfs in the first place .  no i changed it to fat
[23:20] <ifireball> mular: the options are the same as in the "mount -o" options and my be FS-specific
[23:20] <kelsin> brophat: that's odd, it should have isntalled nvidia-glx-new which includes nvidia-settings
[23:20] <spideyman> if i dont have a n xorg config file anymore where is my system getting the setting to boot with
[23:20] <PirateHead> wols_: That doesn't mean much to me. Should I google MESA-glx?
[23:20] <kelsin> brophat: "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new"
[23:20] <wols_> spideyman: dorg can now start without a xorg.conf
[23:20] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: All you should need to do is to drag launchers to your "Work" Catagory. For example. If I want writer, I select office on the left. click and hold on writer on the right and drag it to the left onto work. See if that works.
[23:20] <peterpan_> scragar i mounted it as ntfs in the first place . i went to windows and changed it to fat.  now its changed  to fat
[23:20] <jumpkick> wols_: when you type "grub", you get a grub shell... it says you can hit TAB to complete lines, but tab just inserts a tab...  maybe it's broken on AMD64 or something
[23:20] <wols_> PirateHead: you should install the fglrx glx
[23:20] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Any suggestions on how to fix this mess I apparently made?
[23:20] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: I am making some progress now.  I'll only get stuck when I need to add an app that isn't already in the menu somewhere.
[23:20] <var> hmmmm i need a bit of help, im trying to compile projectM (the visiualization plugin) for use with amarok, when i type "make clean" it tells me: Makefile:43: CMakeFiles/progress.make: No such file or directory
[23:20] <ifireball> mular: pass has to do with the autoscans on boot and dump has to do with using "fsdump"
[23:20] <TheZealot> g/whois motti
[23:20] <wols_> jumpkick: do you enter a latter it can complete?
[23:20] <kelsin> brophat: after running that log out and back in, then if the res isn't good run that nvidia settings program with "gksu nvidia-settings" to change things
[23:20] <mular> so say I wanted to mount a ntfs-3g drive on /dev/sda1 .. what I was doing it /dev/sda1 /media/sda1  ntsf-3g   .. then I don't know what to put after that lol
[23:20] <spideyman> wols_> dorg?
[23:20] <Smegzor> I'm just pulling up the properties and copying the command line entries
[23:21] <motti> is there stilla problem running an nvidia 7300 with the newest nvidia driver? do i still need to isntall the older driver?
[23:21] <wols_> spideyman: xorg
[23:21] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: I'll try that..
[23:21] <mular> so generaly would I want to put 0   0 for those? Looking over my fstab now some have 0, 0 some have 0, 2 =/
[23:21] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: I already told you
[23:21] <scragar> peterpan_: fat16 or fat32? doubt it'd matter though. "mount -r -t fat /dev/sda6" if that doesn't work add the fat type to the end
[23:21] <peterpan_> 32
[23:21] <alsadk10> any one use gparted for recover lost partition?
[23:21] <PirateHead> wols_: Would that be xorg-driver-fglrx?
[23:21] <kelsin> mular: yes 0 0 for any extra (windows) drive is fine, "man fstab" for more info
[23:21] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: Genius! :D  thanks
[23:22] <PirateHead> wols_: And, after installing the fglrx package, do I need to unintall the MESA-glx package?
[23:22] <ifireball> mular: "defaults" would be a safe bet, but consult the mount and ntfs man pages you may want to add options to tweak permissions
[23:22] <brophat> kelsin ok
[23:22] <peterpan_> scragar will it be writeable if i log as root?
[23:22] <spideyman> wols_> whats this dorg you speak of
[23:22] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Right, you said to fix nvidia-glx how would I do that?
[23:22] <mular> awesome thanks guys.. boy I would still be on windows if not for all the help here.. ;)
[23:22] <wols_> PirateHead: yes
[23:22] <wols_> spideyman: xorg!
[23:22] <ifireball> mular: you can also use the "mount" command with no parameters to see what options are used currently
[23:22] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: Do you need help putting ones not alreadyin the menu or do you have it figured out already?
[23:23] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: I already told your dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:23] <spideyman> wols_> so your saying it will boot without a conf file ?
[23:23] <scragar> peterpan_: dunno, root has over-right perms for a lot, but root can't edit an iso file that's mounted, so I can't imagine it being too much different
[23:23] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: I think I'll manage now.
[23:23] <PirateHead> wols_: xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version. (Which makes sense, since I used the Restricted Drivers Manager to install the default restricted driver.)
[23:23] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: OK!
[23:23] <mular> ifireball: ya I learned that one, thats really handy.. so do you happen to know why a drive would all of a sudden go from /dev/sdb* to /dev/sdc (all I did was reformat on partition
[23:24] <PirateHead> wols_: Perhaps I need to do something to make fglrx be the default instead of the other one?
[23:24] <orionr> Does anyone know what that app is called that lets me make my ubuntu look like OSX. Its like the dock
[23:24] <jumpkick> wols_: nope, tab jumps 5-8 spaces
[23:24] <mular> I know it doesn't change anything but I was curious where that might be saved.. I am assuming linux is seeing it as a new drive and assigning it a new dev.. but where is the old one saved?
[23:24] <Odd-rationale> !awn
[23:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:24] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Ok, I must have missed that thanks, should I just use the defaults for everything?(I used nvidia insead of nv)
[23:24] <Odd-rationale> orionr: Have you looked at AWN?
[23:24] <spideyman> !xorg.conf
[23:24] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[23:24] <Smegzor> Odd-rationale: Now I won't have to go hunting for apps :D
[23:24] <silent_> what's the command to write all 0's to the boot record?
[23:24] <wols_> spideyman: xorg doesn't boot. it runs
[23:25] <PirateHead> !avant-window-navigator
[23:25] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: pretty much
[23:25] <alteregolio> crapapr salad happened
[23:25] <alteregolio> i don't have sound on molnars knerel
[23:25] <ifireball> mular: well, the way /dev/XXX names are chosen used to be predictable, but that was before UDEV and kernel 2.6 and hotplug... so I can't really tell you whys that...
[23:25] <alteregolio> he had forgot to smell the soundcardALSA
[23:25] <Odd-rationale> Smegzor: If you know the command, I just hit alt+f2 and type it in. Tab often helps with autocompletion.
[23:25] <nickwebcoukok> quick question guys and gals, im looking at screenshots, and im pretty much loving the stats that appear as text on the desktop background. Im using Gnome, and hardy - how do I get em?? :D N
[23:25] <spideyman> wols_> ok but how does it run without conf file where does it find the settings to start
[23:25] <mular> ah ok so I won't worry about it then.. :)
[23:26] <wols_> nickwebcoukok: conky for example
[23:26] <nickwebcoukok> sudo apt-get install conky?
[23:26] <wols_> spideyman: it uses default ones. xorg.conf is very much the same over many installs
[23:26] <mular> oh also sometimes when I boot up my computer the ubuntu splash shows.. the progress bar fills up 1/4 the way then goes to a black screen w/ a cursor and stays there
[23:26] <alsadk10> any one use gparted for recover lost partition?
[23:26] <Smegzor> Hmm!  I'm finding quite a few apps (eg console and now Tasks) won't launch.  They just die.  No idea whats going on there.  Reboot?
[23:26] <wols_> !anyone | alsadk10
[23:26] <ubotu> alsadk10: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[23:27] <mular> one time it rebooted.. I thought this was an Fstab thing.. changed something with live cd and all was ok.. but I think it just happened to work - if I was to say make an external drive mount via fstab and then disconnect it.. will the system still boot?
[23:27] <wols_> Smegzor: some lib will be missing. does any terminal open?
[23:27] <Smegzor> only Konsole
[23:27] <wols_> Smegzor: then start those programs there
[23:27] <scragar> Smegzor: try typing a command(say gnome-terminal) into that, see what the error is
[23:28] <spideyman> wols_> my problem is xorg wont write a conf file getting errors , im trying to figure out where to find the file its using to start
[23:28] <PirateHead> wols_: I have fglrx and mesa-glx both installed, but as you noted, mesa-glx seems to be the default. How do I set fglrx to be the default?
[23:28] <wols_> spideyman: nowhere. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:28] <eagle-101> where is the kernel sources for ubuntu? I'd like to see what those are set to.Thanks
[23:28] <wols_> PirateHead: you cannot have both installed.
[23:28] <spideyman> wols_> i cant run that im getting erors
[23:28] <PirateHead> wols_: According to dpkg, they are both installed.
[23:28] <wols_> eagle-101: look in /boot/config*
[23:28] <alsadk10> ?
[23:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[23:29] <chignole> i'm looking for an applet which will keep me informed of my comp's temprature
[23:29] <wols_> PirateHead: show me in a pastebin
[23:29] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[23:29] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: It finished and I restarted X however it is now using only the 2nd monitor when it detected the first(a samsung, it is using a dell)
[23:29] <eagle-101> no /boot/config
[23:29] <acofis> hello all. i have installed and successfully used World of Warcraft for a while now. but all of the sudden it started keeping the main panel visible during play and is stretching the vertical resolution farther than its should so that i have to move my mouse to the bottom of the screen to make it scroll to see that last inch of the game
[23:29] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: you didn't tell me that. then I guess you need to use the old one. it was saved witha  long name at the end
[23:30] <wols_> a long string of numners representing a date and time
[23:30] <Smegzor> scragar: I'm not getting any errors and the command isn't terminating by itself in console.  It still doesn't launch though.
[23:30] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Whoops, nvidia-settings is working now, should I just use it?
[23:30] <PirateHead> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48598/
[23:30] <alsadk10> i want any body how use gparted to recover lost partition to let me know how he do that anyone?
[23:30] <hockeyfan5000> anyone know why I am only getting sound out of one speaker, my sound settings seem to be fine?
[23:30] <wols_> Alex_Gaynor: sure but it seems nvidia settings is not dual monitor capable
[23:30] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: look up hirens cd
[23:31] <spideyman> wols_  this is the error i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48581/
[23:31] <Smegzor> uh oh!  It launches gnome-terminal as root but not as me.  Thats not good.
[23:31] <brophat> wols_ i think when the xconfig hung it ended up giving me the failsafe driver
[23:31] <hockeyfan5000> I have a audigy sound card with 5.1 speakers
[23:31] <alsadk10> and what?
[23:31] <PirateHead> wols_: The other bits, like libgl1-mesa-dri, are also installed.
[23:31] <brophat> wols_ so maybe I should do that x config thing again?
[23:31] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: Tools that may help you recover your partition
[23:31] <scragar> Smegzor: any errors are you?
[23:31] <CheapShades> Does anyone know how to use gateprobe if I have an IP range something like 192.168.1.100-192.168.60.255?
[23:31] <wols_> PirateHead: does /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa exist?
[23:31] <alteregolio> now i reinstall the whole crap
[23:31] <alteregolio> damn
[23:31] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Hrm, it seems to be handling the 2 screens correctly!
[23:31] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: Or was that someone else
[23:32] <wols_> brophat: yes
[23:32] <Smegzor> no errors but both apps only launch sudo'd
[23:32] <neil_d> I have found one small problem, because I had used this gutsy install on 3 motherboards, the ethernet interface was now known as eth3, it appears the 'network' configuration program uses the eth? identifier for however it stores its info, because when I reset the interface from eth3 to eth0 it lost its config. it would probably be better if it used the MAC address as a reference.
[23:32] <eagle-101> (in short what I want to do is make menuconfig on ubuntu's kernel configuration.
[23:32] <xavi> I'm getting this error: "files list file for package `genisoimage' is missing final newline" -- stopping me from any software update/install...
[23:32] <brophat> wols_ what was the command ?
[23:32] <alsadk10> i have hirens boot i use it & i do not recover my lost partition
[23:32] <wols_> brophat: scroll up
[23:32] <scragar> Smegzor: can't be right...
[23:32] <PirateHead> wols_: Yes, it exists.
[23:32] <brophat> wols_ I started a new session it is not up there
[23:33] <wols_> PirateHead: then I dunno why it talks about mesa in your xorg.lof. amye you could uninstall mesa stuff, dunno
[23:33] <mular> can you mount a drive using your own label?
[23:33] <Smegzor> scragar: I'm going to try the standard Windows fix and reboot :)
[23:33] <alsadk10> is gparted can undelete lost partition?
[23:33] <scragar> Smegzor: doubtfull to work
[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: dont think os
[23:33] <Smegzor> probably not but one way to find out..
[23:33] <Alex_Gaynor> wols_: Thanks a ton for your help
[23:34] <robobob> i have kungfu hustle and the subtitles how do i get mplayer to pick them up#
[23:34] <brophat> wols_ the command?
[23:34] <alsadk10> ok is there any dangoures when using gparted to resize partition ?
[23:34] <PirateHead> wols_: I can't uninstall those packages because apt says that xorg depends on them.
[23:35] <hockeyfan5000> there is always danger resizing a partition...make sure you have it all backed up
[23:35] <hockeyfan5000> your data that is
[23:35] <scragar> alsadk10: best to back up, but unless it crashes midway though adjusting paritions then there's no big worry
[23:35] <mirak> hi
[23:36] <mirak> what is the best web streaming audio interface for mpd or other ?
[23:36] <spideyman> !xorg conf
[23:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xorg conf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:36] <Aaron> i have my cube desktop enabled but i only have a flat 1 with 1 on each side?
[23:36] <spideyman> !xorg.conf
[23:36] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[23:36] <Smegzor> scragar: rebooting did fix it.
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: Dealing with partitions always has a degree of danger.  The more you have to lose, the more you need a backup
[23:37] <brophat> anyone know the command to configure xorg ?
[23:37] <Smegzor> hmm..  I did log in remotely earlier. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
[23:37] <Smegzor> It had me logged in twice.
[23:37] <alsadk10> if all things normal is there danger from gparted it self?
[23:38] <xenakis> how do I interpret the timestamps from a dmesg output?
[23:38] <scragar> Smegzor: could have been a confliction in user profiles, but I doubt that...
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadk10: The most dangerous part of gparted.. is the person using it.. the possibility of power failure, act of god etc.
[23:39] <caleb_> Hello, I am having trouble with installing FreeBSD inside QEMU. Sysinstall says there are no hard disks. How do I make sysinstall cooperate with qemu?
[23:39] <Smegzor> oh well.  I'd better be careful not to reboot in public too often.  Microsoft have probably patented it.  They did 'invent' it after all.
[23:39] <scragar> alsadk10: gparted has never had any problems for me(lie actualy, the version on the ubuntu 7.10 live CD always closes itself after changing boot flags, but it causes no problems and opens again fine)
[23:39] <nickwebcoukok> quicky - how do i get my connection name, i.e etho0 or wlan0 or wifi0 ?
[23:40] <PirateHead> alsadk10: If you know more or less what you are doing and your hard drive doesn't stop functioning midway though a parititoning task, GParted doesn't screw things up terribly. That being said, it is a *very good idea* to backup partitions before doing operations on them.
[23:40] <xavi> anybody have an idea of what to do with the following error while trying to install: "files list file for package `genisoimage' is missing final newline"
[23:40] <mular> in fstab what does the umask command mean?
[23:40] <PirateHead> alsadk10: If you were to screw up your hard drive with GParted or any other tool and you asked for help recovering it, one of the first responses you'd get would be "Can you restore from a backup?"
[23:40] <brophat> anyone know the command to configure xorg?
[23:40] <elver> Where can I find official DVD images of 7.10?
[23:40] <mular> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:41] <mular> I think
[23:41] <PirateHead> elver: http://www.ubuntu.com or STFW
[23:41] <scragar> xavi: I'm guessing here, but I think installing genisoimage would fix the problem
[23:41] <neil_d> bronson: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:41] <scragar> xavi: sorry, miss read the error.
[23:41] <brophat> damn you guys are gonna make me go in by hand and configure the xorg.conf file?
[23:41] <xavi> scragar: mmm...  :)
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: At least we will hold your hand while you do it
[23:42] <neil_d> brophat: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:42] <scragar> xavi: sounds like a weird error, where are you getting that?
[23:42] <xavi> scragar: I even tried appending an extra line feed... didn't work...
[23:42] <brophat> neil_d thanks
[23:42] <xavi> scragar: actually I get it every time I try to install anything...
[23:42] <fjfalcon> hello, can someone help with writing script.. i need to write: if ping 192.168.0.1 then nfs mouunt... how can i do this?
[23:42] <xavi> scragar: this is a fresh install (so no updates, nothing)
[23:43] <alsadk10> is resizing take lot of time from live cd  with 246 ram is backup want the same size of used size on partition?
[23:43] <ikonia> fjfalcon: just use an "if" statment it will return 1 or 0 true of false
[23:43] <brophat> everytime I have had to edit xorg.conf by hand it is always a long ordeal
[23:43] <iceman>  i think i have a some kind of video card issue every once in a while ill get like this blurry screen type thing with no picture at all and then the signal cuts completely and i can't restore it it forces me to shutdown and restart which would suck if i was in the middle of something important
[23:43] <ikonia> fjfalcon: solid help in #bash
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: Post it to the pastebin so others can help
[23:43] <fjfalcon> ikonia: thank you
[23:44] <brophat> Jack_Sparrow now that I know the command I will be auto configuring it
[23:44] <iceman>  i think i have a some kind of video card issue every once in a while ill get like this blurry screen type thing with no picture at all and then the signal cuts completely and i can't restore it it forces me to shutdown and restart which would suck if i was in the middle of something important
[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: It is only scary the first few times
[23:44] <ikonia> iceman: we saw you the first time
[23:44] <neil_d> fjfalcon: try using something like "PING=`ping -c 1 192,168.1.1`
[23:44] <cabroni_> how can I install quake on my computer?
[23:45] <ikonia> cabroni_: down load the tar file, untar it follow the readme
[23:45] <cabroni_> it have just an exe to run
[23:45] <brophat> Jack_Sparrow I have already done it a few times; only problem is that each time I do it, the previous time was always long ago enough that I have to read about it all over again and it always becomes a long ordeal
[23:45] <ikonia> cabroni_: thats the windows version, you'll need wine for that
[23:45] <PirateHead> cabroni_: You can use Wine or Cedega.
[23:45] <iceman> ikonia, then can you help
[23:46] <hockeyfan5000> how can I have Ubuntu start in text only mode, then go into graphical mode when I want to?
[23:46] <ikonia> iceman: what have you done to debug it, what video card do you have, what driver are you using, what version and arch of ubuntu
[23:46] <PirateHead> cabroni_: Or, you can play Warsow. :-)
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> brophat: You have lots of support and just remember... vesa mode and 1024 max res will get you back into the gui
[23:46] <scragar> quake2 and  ioquake3 both available from apt
[23:46] <ikonia> hockeyfan5000: stop the init daemon starting it. man rc-update
 ok
[23:46] <ikonia> scragar: are they ?
[23:47] <hockeyfan5000> thanks Ikonia
[23:47] <scragar> hockeyfan5000: edit the grub config, then you'd need to use startx to load the gui
[23:47] <ikonia> scragar: how is grub going to change the loading of gdm ?
[23:47] <hockeyfan5000> Is it level 3 I need to set it for or something like that
[23:47] <scragar> ikonia: from a terminal type: "sudo apt-get install quake2 ioquake3"
[23:47] <ikonia> hockeyfan5000: leave it at level 3 - just remove X/gdm from starting
[23:48] <hockeyfan5000> thanks
[23:48] <PirateHead> War§ow is available through apt, too - and it's more modern than Quake 2 or 3, being based on QFusion.
[23:48] <ikonia> scragar: I see quake2 which appears to just be the engine, I don't see ioquake3
[23:48] <steph_> hi everybody
[23:48] <ikonia> scragar: what repo is quake3 in ?
[23:48] <iceman> ikonia, you are talking to maybe the most uber newb, i didnt try to debug it cuz i don't have one according to my comp...im using kubuntu 7.04 or 06.
[23:48] <ikonia> iceman: didn't have one what ?
[23:49] <scragar> ikonia: dunno actualy, I just seached for it using "apt-cache dump | grep quake" only extra repo I have is the media centre one.
[23:49] <steph_> is there a way to use JACK on a thin client?
[23:49] <ikonia> scragar: nothing in the official ubuntu ones
[23:49] <ikonia> steph_: I don't see how as there would be no direct hardware, but maybe
[23:49] <iceman> ikonia sigev or something to that effect it says i don't have a debugger
[23:50] <scragar> ikonia: 1 mo, I'll get the line for the media one it must be on.
[23:50] <xavi> scragar: any idea on the genisoimage line? (I'm a bit stuck on that)
[23:50] <ikonia> iceman: you don't need a debugger, what video card do you have
[23:50] <neil_d> steph_: you might want to join #edubuntu
[23:50] <PirateHead> scragar, ikonia: quake 3 is in Multiverse
[23:51] <scragar> PirateHead: ah, thanks for that info
[23:51] <ikonia> PirateHead: I don't see it, just quake3-data as a package
[23:51] <ikonia> !info ioquake3
[23:51] <ubotu> Package ioquake3 does not exist in gutsy
[23:51] <ikonia> !info quake3
[23:51] <ubotu> Package quake3 does not exist in gutsy
[23:51] <PirateHead> That's wierd. My apt-cache dump has the package ioquake3 as well.
[23:51] <iceman> ikonia that is the problem i don't know..i didnt build it from scratch and i never had a reasoon to find out the name of the card...it came with the comp it worked i was ahppy
[23:51] <PirateHead> My only non-standard repo is the Wine repo, and I doubt it's there.
[23:52] <scragar> xavi: not really, I was thinking it must have been a config issue, but after a fresh install that's very unlikly
[23:52] <zmitya> hi all
[23:52] <zmitya> how can I bind slapd only to localhost ?
[23:52] <postg> hello,  #ubuntu hello, I try to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 but now, as you see error occur: http://paste.uni.cc/17831
[23:52] <ikonia> PirateHead: you don't have that package, it's just a dependency package
[23:52] <postg> I do follow advice on ubuntu official site on how to upgrade
[23:52] <mular> any idea why a partition in fstab will mount, and accessible but won't show on desktop?
[23:52] <ikonia> zmitya: apt-get it
[23:52] <steph_> Can I use local soundcard on a thin client?
[23:52] <Flare183> !search quake3
[23:52] <ubotu> Found:
[23:53] <PirateHead> ikonia: You can just install quake3-data and go?
[23:53] <zmitya> ikonia: hmm, I have installed it, but it binds 0.0.0.0 by default
[23:53] <xavi> scragar: yes, that's what really baffles me... did a network install and googling fails to hit anything...
[23:53] <Ttech2> hi
[23:53] <ikonia> PirateHead: I don't think so
[23:53] <postg> http://paste.uni.cc/17831
[23:53] <zmitya> I would like to bind it only ti 127.0.0.1
[23:53] <Ttech2> how do you get Ubuntu to play dvd's?
[23:53] <ikonia> PirateHead: the data files appear to not be the game, just the maps and the like
[23:53] <postg> could anyone help?
[23:53] <ikonia> zmitya: ok, change the config
[23:53] <ikonia> !dvd | Ttech2
[23:53] <ubotu> Ttech2: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[23:53] <postg> http://paste.uni.cc/17831 error
[23:53] <postg> here
[23:53] <Flare183> !dvd | Ttech2
[23:53] <PirateHead> ikonia: I don't think so either. You need the quake3 package, ioquake3, I think. But that package doesn't appear to be in multiverse.
[23:53] <zmitya> ikonia: great, but what should I change ?
[23:53] <zmitya> thats the question :)
[23:54] <ikonia> zmitya: bind and/or interface
[23:54] <zmitya> I can't see anything in the confing file related to this :(
[23:54] <Flare183> postg:> that's not good
[23:54] <scragar> PirateHead: ikonia:  Package ioquake3 has no installation candidate <-- doesn't look like it's there, even if it's listed.
[23:54] <cabroni_> another shotergame like abuse ?
[23:54] <Flare183> !search ioquake3
[23:54] <ubotu> Found:
[23:54] <ikonia> zmitya: what config file are you looking at
[23:54] <Flare183> nothing found
[23:55] <PirateHead> scragar: That's wierd. I wonder why it's in my apt cache. :-\
[23:55] <zmitya> ikonia: slapd.conf
[23:55] <ikonia> PirateHead: it's not
[23:55] <gnomy> hello
[23:55] <magnetron> cabroni_: shootergame? try nexuiz
[23:55] <alteregolio> try arkanoid
[23:55] <PirateHead> cabroni_: Nexuiz, Warsow, Tremulous, and Action Cube are all decent.
[23:55] <cabroni_> but in 2d like HL codename:gordon
[23:55] <scragar> PirateHead: it's referenced, that's enough for it to be listed, but since it doesn't exist we get this rather weird situation...
[23:55] <PirateHead> cabroni_: in 2D?
[23:56] <cabroni_> yep
[23:56] <hobojohn3> hello all
[23:56] <Flare183> cabroni_:> so it openarena
 postg:> that's not good what is 'not good'
[23:56] <PirateHead> cabroni_: Hmm... you could use Wine with Duke Nukem. =D
[23:56] <alteregolio> someone remove this -RT kernel , its buggy, it doesn't detect ICH9 HDAUDIO stuff
[23:56] <ikonia> alteregolio: thats not really a solid bug report, let alone enough to remove the kernel from the repo
[23:57] <zmitya> ikonia: so, do you have any idea ?
[23:57] <iceman> ikonia that is the problem i don't know..i didnt build it from scratch and i never had a reasoon to find out the name of the card...it came with the comp it worked i was ahppy
[23:57] <hobojohn3> i have a western digital my book external hard drive that worked for about an hour a week ago and i cant seem to get it to work anymore
[23:57] <Flare183> postg:> the paste, the installer is acting up weird
[23:57] <ikonia> zmitya: you need to use either interface or bind
[23:57] <ikonia> zmitya: I don't have an example to hand
[23:57] <alteregolio> now i reinstall ganjabuntu
[23:57] <postg> Flare183: yes
[23:57] <alteregolio> i dope it works
[23:57] <ikonia> iceman: do you still have windows on your computer ?
[23:57] <Viking> Hello everyone! I'm having some problemms with games like open arena and nexuiz. The problem is that while I'm walking, I cant change my direction,so I can only go in one direction and then stop to take a turn. Anyone familiar with this problem ???
[23:57] <postg> Flare183: is it possible to fix it?
[23:57] <zmitya> ikonia: ok thx, but there is no option like that
[23:58] <ikonia> zmitya: you have to put it in yourself
[23:58] <postg> in line 3: it shows L eeior error?
[23:58] <ikonia> zmitya: the config file shipped is an example, not a full file
[23:58] <iceman> ikonia, no i dont thats what was on there previously
[23:58] <Flare183> postg:> maybe try redownloading the installer first and trying again if it keeps doing it then join #ubuntu-installer they might can help you
[23:58] <zmitya> ikonia: ok, but I can't find what should I put there, thats my problem
[23:58] <ikonia> iceman: look at the output of "lspci"
[23:58] <zmitya> what is the syntax ?
[23:58] <iceman> k
[23:59] <ikonia> zmitya: first result in google
[23:59] <ikonia> http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200301/msg00290.html
[23:59] <ikonia> nice job looking
[23:59] <postg> maybe try redownloading the installer?? but I do an upgrade, not from installer
[23:59] <Flare183> postg:> yeah your using the ubuntu's installer to upgrade duh
