[00:00] <intelikey> SuperVHS you can probably use the package from the gutsy release      but if it gives dependancy errors, then i didn't tell you to do it.  :)
[00:00] <danbhtwo> I'
[00:00] <gam3> Thanks everyon.

[00:02] <jetscreamer> with the gamma control
[00:03] <Slart> rencore_: depending on the screen you might be able to use i2c .. gnome-monitor-settings  or something
[00:03] <Dappercom_> zimon: still no such file or directory...
[00:03] <intelikey> wols_ ummm you'd have to assign the device an address wouldn't you...   k.
[00:03] <zimon> Dappercom_, did you reboot?
[00:03] <Dappercom_> zimon, yes :(

[00:03] <scguy318> jangari: check your date/time
[00:04] <laughzilla> wols_ whatever is the default with a fresh 7.10 installation?
[00:04] <zimon> Dappercom_, crap.

[00:04] <wilo> how do i install http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Sidebar+Screenlet+%28Vista%27ish+look%29?content=63172
[00:04] <exile> hello
[00:04] <wols_> laughzilla: there is no "default" since flash won't be installed automatically since it's non-free
[00:04] <Dappercom_> zimon: why they does not exist?
[00:04] <wilo> it wont let me run it in screenlet manager
[00:04] <wilo> any ideas?
[00:04] <exile> i have a problem with playing commercial dvds. i have the right lib installed, but totem player says it cant read it. vlc just crashes

[00:05] <mrMister> exile: medibuntu
[00:05] <laughzilla> wols_ well i did not manually install it afaik and i can see .swf files properly on youtube, and not on other sites.
[00:05] <intelikey> SuperVHS no i meant only the one package.   as a bug fix.   but that might not be the best way.
[00:05] <jangari> scguy318: is there a different time/date configuration apart from that time/date applet on the panel?
[00:05] <zimon> Dappercom_, i'm not sure .. seems like your soundcard isn't detected, although the driver is there

[00:06] <exile> thank you
[00:06] <danbhtwo> wols_ heh, well, its not really restarting, but it does seem to have slowed down
[00:06] <laughzilla> wols_ so i see a GNASH SWF Viewer in my "Applications  >  Internet"
[00:06] <laughzilla> ok
[00:06] <wols_> laughzilla: that's why. gnash is alpha software
[00:06] <zimon> anybody .. do you have to rebuild the initrd after adding a new module to the kernel?
[00:06] <SuperVHS> yes.. i think that no is the best way .... and this is "sever" version !!!!
[00:06] <laughzilla> wols_ ok well i didn't pick it or anything, that's just what came with ubuntu 7.10
[00:06] <waremperor> question : Trying to connect n70 mobile phone to my computer by bluetooth, link is working with hdcitool, but wammu don't want to link... why ?
[00:06] <fxfitz> I'm getting a "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0"." ... can anyone help?
[00:06] <laughzilla> so can i install something that will work, wols_  ?
[00:07] <SuperVHS> mmm..mmm.. i open one case in bugzilla
[00:07] <Fezzler> Me thinks Serial-to-USB cable does not work in Ubuntu
[00:07] <intelikey> zimon if the module is loaded in the initramfs  then yes.   else no.
[00:07] <Dappercom_> zimon: i tried to tell you :D... The whole thing doesnt detect soundcard shit...
[00:07] <wols_> !flashissue | laughzilla
[00:07] <ubotu> laughzilla: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[00:07] <dm> Hello. Can anyone help me compiling a kernel module? I get "linux/config.h: No such file or directory"
[00:07] <askand> Where is my loginscript?
[00:07] <zimon> Dappercom_, yeah .. but up to now, the driver for your soundcard was missing. now it's there
[00:08] <laughzilla> wols_ this means that flash doesn't work properly on ubuntu right now?
[00:08] <Dappercom_> zimon: thats not help much :S
[00:08] <laughzilla> or rather that i can't install it properly at the moment?
[00:08] <rencore_> how can i tell what my screen is
[00:08] <laughzilla> ok well i'll be patient if i have to be ... how long does this sort of stuff generally to get resolve in this community? i imagine a lot of folks wanna be able to view .swf files.
[00:09] <SuperVHS> who i find the version (server or desktop) is installed in one pc ???
[00:09] <dxdemetriou> how can I change the resolution from gdm? I have installed Gutsy and it uses 1400x1050 instead of 1280x1024
[00:09] <intelikey> Dappercom_ sudo modprobe <driver name here>     get it working    when satisfied with it,  add it to /etc/modules
[00:09] <zimon> intelikey, like alsa-drivers? the /dev/dsp and stuff must be created during boot, i guess that's done before the kernel is started
[00:09] <dm> SuperVHS: There's no difference
[00:09] <intelikey> zimon see above
[00:09] <teknoprep> anyone here good with linux bluetooth and pan ?

[00:10] <fab5freddy> axjv: i tried your method but i during the installation it told me i needed other programs and didn't function correctly
[00:10] <intelikey> Dappercom_    42 ?
[00:10] <Dappercom_> intelikey, too much !
[00:11] <intelikey> Dappercom_ try #alsa   for sound issues that you can't work out here.
[00:11] <zimon> intelikey, i read that ... but i don't know what's loaded in the initramfs ..
[00:11] <rencore_> is there a command to see what my monitor is?
[00:11] <intelikey> zimon not the sound driver.
[00:11] <zimon> intelikey, alright :-)
[00:11] <fab5freddy> wols_: your method is currently working like a charm
[00:11] <wols_> zimon: obviosuly /dev entries can't e created before the kernel is started...
[00:11] <bzren> hi
[00:12] <bzren> how to re-generate smb.conf ?
[00:12] <wols_> rencore_: read-edid
[00:12] <Dappercom_> intelikey, can you explain that for newbie :)
[00:12] <intelikey> zimon kernel frame buffering   disk and fs support   main board and chipset support     not in that order nessacerily
[00:12] <Fezzler> Last chance to provide coaching on a accessing a USB port - ttyUSB0
[00:12] <rencore_> wols_, what?
[00:13] <Hit3k>  When I add music to my iPod from Rhythmbox the music doesn't sync and the music gets deleted its an iPod classic can someone help me?
[00:13] <wols_> rencore_: the program you're looking for
[00:13] <intelikey> Dappercom_  probably not.   not patient enough, and channel too busy.   sorry.   maybe someone else can.
[00:13] <ari_stress> happy holidays everyone :D
[00:13] <zimon> Dappercom_, i'm running out of ideas ..
[00:14] <rencore_> no install candidate
[00:14] <piero> Where can I found a repository to install inkscape on gutsy? I'm not good with image editing, Is there a better option than inskcape that I can install ?
[00:14] <Ubuntubruger8> Funny... I was told Adobe Flash doesn't work ATM. However it was pretty easy to install. Seems that it is just the plugin in Synaptic which doesn't work?
[00:14] <Dappercom_> zimon, im running out of energy and ideas :s
[00:14] <Zoo> wols_: 4 didn't work
[00:14] <scguy318> piero: should in Ubuntu repos, if I'm not mistaken
[00:15] <scguy318> Ubuntubruger8: the installation of flashplugin-nonfree does not work due to MD5 sum error
[00:15] <rencore_> displaycalibrator.app how can i run this
[00:15] <katakaio> Hit3k: I hear that the iPod classics are encrypted/locked
[00:15] <wols_> Zoo: what is your xp partition exactly?
[00:15] <Zoo> wols_: when i do fdisk -l its on sda4
[00:15] <wols_> rencore_: like any other exectuable
[00:15] <Zoo> 5*
[00:15] <Oxi-Clean> When I try to install ATI drivers (linux ones) i get an error in gedit, "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.  Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file."  Ideas?

[00:15] <piero> scguy318, hm.. universe, multiverse?? What line I need to add, once I have not inkscape listed at now?
[00:15] <wols_> rencore_: sounds like a gnustep thing. where did you get it?
[00:16] <danbhtwo> wols_ stoping udev is working MUCH better
[00:16] <wols_> sda5 is (hd0,4) however
[00:16] <danbhtwo> *stopping

[00:16] <dm> piero: inkscape should be in the default repo. It's ok for vector image editing, for raster images you could try GIMP
[00:16] <scguy318> piero: think its in universe
[00:16] <Zoo> wols_: thats windows, right?
[00:16] <Hit3k> well katakaio it says the musics is going over because its used some of the space up
[00:16] <scguy318> !info inkscape | piero
[00:16] <wols_> danbhtwo: not forever. you will need to restart it or bits won't work. like automounting of CDs and such

[00:16] <katakaio> Hit3K: mine did the same thing, but I couldn't access any of the music on my iPod
[00:16] <wols_> Zoo: pastebin the menu.lst entry
[00:16] <piero> humm.. my mistake! sorry!
[00:16] <Oxi-Clean> When I try to install ATI drivers (linux ones) i get an error in gedit, "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.  Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file."  Ideas?
[00:16] <katakaio> Are you having the same issue?
[00:16] <Dappercom_> bye
[00:17] <wols_> Zoo: and the output of sudo fdisk -l

[00:17] <scguy318> Oxi-Clean: chmod +x the binary then run from Terminal
[00:17] <wols_> Oxi-Clean: how are you trying to install them exactly?
[00:17] <Ubuntubruger8> scguy: I dont know what that means (i'm new to ubuntu) but installation worked
[00:17] <Hit3k> katakaio, It just says theres no music on my iPod but when I plug it in it shows up in rhythmbox
[00:17] <Oxi-Clean> by just double clicking the icon

[00:17] <Oxi-Clean> its file extention is .run
[00:18] <Slart> rencore_: gddccontrol didn't work?
[00:18] <scguy318> Ubuntubruger8: which is misleading, since in the package conf script, it downloads, then reports the MD5 sum error, but does not return an error code, giving the misleading impression that the package installed succesfully
[00:18] <rencore_> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/PureOcean?content=72392
[00:18] <rencore_> Slart, no
[00:18] <wols_> Oxi-Clean: that one isn't supported. why can't you use the restricted drivers from the repos?
[00:18] <Zoo> wols_: http://rafb.net/p/WfoiaI36.html
[00:18] <intelikey> Oxi-Clean or file the file  if it's a shell script just sh it
[00:18] <katakaio> Hit3k: OK, the same thing happens to me when I use Banshee . . . until they implement the iTunesDB fix in new versions of these programs, I don't think you'll be able to use your iPod
[00:18] <Slart> rencore_: any errors?
[00:18] <rencore_> that link is to a gtk theme that i made i thought it was blue but its an  ugly green

[00:18] <rencore_> Slart, prolly cuz its a laptop
[00:18] <Slart> rencore_: did you enable the i2c-dev module?
[00:19] <wols_> Zoo: sda5 is your windows system drive but not your windows boot drive
[00:19] <Oxi-Clean> wols_, where would i get a driver, i downloaded the linux driver off the ati website?
[00:19] <wols_> Zoo: sda1 is

My battery autonomy is reduced at 1h20 with Ubuntu but with Windows XP it lasts 3h. I can't install the 'acpi-cpufreq' module not even the 'ACPI P-state driver' module. Can someone help me to know what is happening to me?
[00:20] <Hit3k> katakaio, its a blank page witha configuration thing on it
[00:20] <scguy318> Ubuntubruger8: cool I guess :)
[00:20] <katakaio> Hit3k: Yup. Check back in a day or two, when they'll post the fix

[00:21] <buggeredfstab> I lost the top of my menus, how do I get that back?
[00:21] <Hit3k> thanks katakaio
[00:21] <katakaio> np
[00:21] <katakaio> I wish I had better news
[00:22] <Zoo> wols_: root (hd0,0) for windows?
[00:22] <Ubuntubruger8> scguy: I know it doesnt work with the flashplugin-nonfree package - but if you download and install manually theres no problem
[00:22] <wols_> Zoo: yes
[00:22] <scguy318> Ubuntubruger8: yeah, thats correct
[00:22] <Zoo> wols_: thanks, one more question, where is grub supposed to be writtin, ubuntu partition or windows?
[00:22] <wols_> Zoo: which of your many partitions has a c:\NTLDR file (hidden)? that's the windows boot drive
[00:23] <Hit3k> katakaio, what if I ran itunes under wine? would that make a difference?
[00:23] <wols_> Zoo: neither. MBR
[00:23] <wols_> Zoo: with stage 1.5 and stage files in /boot/grub/ where menu.lst is too
[00:23] <Shadow147> Zoo wols_ is right grub installed itself on the MBR
[00:23] <Zoo> Shadow147: k
[00:23] <bewst> I need to shrink a JFS filesystem (offline); can I use rsync to back it up, create a smaller one in its place, and rsync the data back?
[00:23] <Zoo> wols_: ther is no ntldr file
[00:24] <wols_> Zoo: vista or xp?
[00:24] <Zoo> Shadow147: my partitions are just ubuntu, swap, music, and windows xp
[00:24] <katakaio> Hit3k: I've never tried it - I would avoid it on principle because I'm a linux snob 8-)
[00:24] <Zoo> wols_: my partitions are just ubuntu, swap, music, and windows xp
[00:24] <Shadow147> Zoo wols_ is thinking of the boot.ini?
[00:24] <wols_> Zoo: you have at least 2 FAT partitions. and without a hidden NTLDR file somewhere, windows cannot boot
[00:24] <Ubuntubruger8> scguy: ok thanks for helping me to understand...
[00:24] <Hit3k> katakaio, so was I.
[00:25] <Shadow147> Zoo I would get another hard drive and make that ubuntu's home
[00:25] <Zoo> wols_: Ehm, I dont know where the second one came from, my music partition is only fat32
[00:25] <Zoo> Shadow147: Its a laptop, wish I could
[00:26] <Shadow147> Zoo hmm
[00:26] <wols_> Zoo: your partitioning is VERY broken
[00:26] <wols_> Zoo: my error. sorry
[00:26] <wols_> Zoo: sda1 is an extended aprtition
[00:27] <wols_> Zoo: but on some partition on your disk there is a ntlodr. either there is one or windows can't boot. check all partitions
[00:27] <rencore_> i cant get it right
[00:27] <wols_> there also is a boot.ini, also hidden
[00:27] <Zoo> wols_: Eh, I just deleted xp partition and re-installed it, it would boot xp but no grub, couldnt get into ubuntu, used live cd to restore grub, rebooted, grub was there now, xp showed in grub, but cant boot to it
[00:27] <rredd4> what i mount command for sd ram, usb, vfat?
[00:28] <rredd4> is
[00:28] <Zoo> wols_: let me double check for that file
[00:28] <kyu_flux> does anyone know if is deluge on any ubuntu repositories?
[00:28] <kyu_flux> deluge for amd64
[00:28] <battousai_> is there anyone who can help me with the acpi?
[00:28] <jangari> Zoo: have you edited the menu.lst?
[00:29] <wols_> rredd4: mount command for sd ram?

[00:29] <Zoo> jangari: I tried changing root (hd0, #) to see if it would work, but thats all
[00:29] <katakaio> kyu_flux: What repositories do you have enabled?

[00:29] <jangari> Zoo:
[00:29] <wols_> rredd4: and usb sticks are mounted by default usually
[00:29] <kyu_flux> ah, my mistake - deluge-torrent, not deluge
[00:29] <JonaTh> !OSS
[00:29] <rredd4> mount -t vfat rredd4?
[00:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:29] <Zoo> wols_: found it
[00:29] <kyu_flux> ubuntuforums.org mislead me - thanks everyone
[00:30] <wols_> Zoo: which partition?
[00:30] <Zoo> wols_: its in my music partition
[00:30] <Zoo> sda4
[00:30] <katakaio> kyu_flux: No problem - I always make that kind of mistake
[00:30] <rredd4> wols not internal mem, external sd card from camera
[00:30] <wols_> thought so. windows wants primary partitions for loading if at all posible. it's a stupid OS
[00:30] <Zoo> wols_: so hd0, 2 ?
[00:30] <wols_> rredd4: sd cards are not ram, but same as for usb sticks apply
[00:30] <wols_> Zoo: 0,3
[00:31] <jangari> should be hd0,2 aye?
[00:31] <jangari> 3?
[00:31] <wols_> music is sdad
[00:31] <wols_> sda4
[00:31] <Zoo> oh right
[00:31] <jangari> oh, pardon, sda4=hd0,3, right
[00:31] <Zoo> jangari:, wols thanks for helping. gonna set it to 3 and try
[00:31] <rredd4> wols_   command is?
[00:31] <jangari> just change it in the grub menu, see if it boots then
[00:32] <jangari> if it works, then change it in the menu.lst
[00:32] <wols_> rredd4: none since it should be mounted automatically
[00:32] <jangari> meh
[00:32] <jangari> had this problem yesterday, it's still fresh in my head
[00:32] <wols_> rredd4: provided ubuntu recognizes your card reader
[00:32] <rredd4> wols_  in gnome it mounts auto, but not in kde

[00:34] <tntcoda> hi, how big is a base ubuntu install?
[00:36] <MikeH> Hi guys, I had flashplugin working fine under firefox
[00:36] <LjL> tntcoda: about 2-3 gigs
[00:36] <Jamesinator> I'm trying to get Ubuntu running on a new Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, but running out-of-the-box Ubuntu finishes the graphical loadscreen, but then X/GDM fail to start and my monitor displays "out of range"
[00:36] <MikeH> I them removed it and reinstalled as fullscreen in flash wasn't working.
[00:36] <MikeH> Now trying to reinstall I just get "flash plugin is NOT installed" at the end of the install/configuration of the package?
[00:37] <LjL> infbliss: nobody will hear you here. file a bug if you can get some more precise information about the issue.
[00:37] <LjL> !bugs > infbliss    (infbliss, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:37] <rkj> Hi, I'd like to download and install RealPlayer as a plugin for Firefox in Feisty 7.04.  There does not seem to be a package in Synaptic Pkg Mgr but there's a Linux download at the RealPlayer site (http://www.real.com/linux/?rppr=rnwk&src=040104freeplayer).  The download file is called RealPlayer10GOLD.bin. How do I install this and what's the chance that all my audio applications will stop working if I do?!
[00:37] <LjL> !real > rkj    (rkj, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:38] <Slart> rkj: realplayer isn't that bad on linux.. not like the windows version
[00:38] <rkj> !real
[00:38] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[00:38] <rredd4> rkj the install instructions should be on the real web site
[00:38] <dm> I have installed the packages linux-headers and linux-source. The module's sources are in /usr/source/modules. Any idea what could be the problem here ("linux/config.h: No such file or directory")?
[00:38] <Aztec007> LjL: actually I'd like to know how to install Real player too
[00:38] <Slart> there are instructions on the site
[00:39] <Aztec007> I'll look it up
[00:39] <Slart> I don't even think you have to compile anything.. but it was a long time since I did it
[00:39] <pvl1> hey is there a combination of keys to drag my virtual screen?
[00:39] <`Matir> Does anyone know how to set up dual-head with the binary NVidia driver?  xrandr only shows one output available.
[00:39] <rkj> LjL, Slart, rredd4, thanks for the quick answer! Guess I'll take a chance.
[00:39] <GMoo> howdy peoples
[00:40] <Slart> you're welcome, rkj
[00:40] <GMoo> okay questiona bout audacious
[00:40] <LjL> rkj, Aztec007: i think the best route in Gutsy would probably be getting the .deb that's on the wiki page
[00:40] <GMoo> i go to add my files over the network and i get the error 'unable to play files / the following files could not be played. please check that: / 1. they are acessible / 2. you have enabled the media plugins required."
[00:40] <LjL> i think the w32codecs will play many Real files without real player itself, anyway
[00:41] <fatsheep> Is there a way to get java plugin to work with 64-bit firefox?
[00:41] <mrbrdo> i've got a problem using Wondershaper
[00:41] <GMoo> okay - i'm using audacious -- i go to add my files over the network and i get the error 'unable to play files / the following files could not be played. please check that: / 1. they are acessible / 2. you have enabled the media plugins required."
[00:41] <mrbrdo> i get Illegal "rate" when i run sudo wondershaper eth2 downspeed upspeed
[00:41] <Ubuntubruger7> PLEASE HELP: I get following error in the terminal: ln: target '/usr/local/firefox32/plugins/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[00:42] <mrbrdo> oh nvm i guess i have to use the numbers there :P
[00:42] <Jamesinator> !nvidia > Jamesinator
[00:42] <Ubuntubruger7> How do I create the folder ?
[00:42] <Aztec007> Ubuntu (gutsy) has this cool feature in which you set certain "hot spots" so that when your move your mouse pointer over it, it zooms out so that you can see all your open applications on your desktop, anybody know how I can install and set this up?
[00:42] <GMoo> okay - i'm using audacious -- i go to add my files over the network and i get the error 'unable to play files / the following files could not be played. please check that: / 1. they are acessible / 2. you have enabled the media plugins required."
[00:43] <JonaTh> Ubuntubruger7: mkdir

[00:43] <Ubuntubruger7> JonaTh: Thanks
[00:43] <Aztec007> Ubuntubruger7: cool, I'll look for it, thanks :)
[00:43] <Slart> Aztec007: it's in compiz.. install the compizconfig-settings-manager to change it..
[00:43] <Slart> !ccsm
[00:43] <ubotu> 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

[00:44] <GMoo> okay - i'm using audacious -- i go to add my files over the network and i get the error 'unable to play files / the following files could not be played. please check that: / 1. they are acessible / 2. you have enabled the media plugins required."
[00:44] <Ubuntubruger7> Just hold superbutton and press E
[00:44] <pvl1> are there keys to drag a virtual screen?
[00:44] <Aztec007> Ubuntubruger7: which is the "super button?
[00:44] <Slart> hmm.. superbutton+E doesn't work for me.. guess I changed it at some point
[00:45] <Ubuntubruger7> windows button..
[00:45] <rkj> The install instructions on the Real website are pretty lean.  The download file is called RealPlayer10GOLD.bin.  Do you suppose that is an executable file?
[00:45] <Slart> rkj: yes
[00:45] <Aztec007> Ubuntubruger7:  WHOA!
[00:45] <brophat> how do I check if my kernel has device mapper and dm-crypt suport?
[00:45] <Ubuntubruger7> Aztec: It works?
[00:46] <Mudbug> Is there an Internet Radio Program for Ubuntu?
[00:46] <fatsheep> java plugin for 64-bit firefox anyone?
[00:46] <Slart> fatsheep: don't think there is one..
[00:47] <Aztec007> Ubuntubruger7: yes it does, its not exactly what I was talking about but this is actually cool too--what I was talking about was this feature in which your run your mouse to the corner of the screen and zooms out to see all your MINIMIZED apps
[00:47] <Aztec007> I'm gonna see what compiz-manager I've got
[00:48] <pyrak> so i just loaded ubuntu onto a new tower... i installed the command line version... plugged the tower into my router, but i'm having trouble pinging it.  any ideas?
[00:48] <brophat> how do I check if my kernel has device mapper and dm-crypt support?
[00:48] <pyrak> (i actually know little about the ubuntu command line and networking in general)
[00:48] <Ubuntubruger7> aztez... never seen it... do you have a link?
[00:48] <Slart> pyrak: afaik a fresh install answers to ping if the network if up and running
[00:49] <Allenwr> Hey
[00:49] <Jamesinator> I'm trying to get Ubuntu running on a new Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, but running out-of-the-box Ubuntu finishes the graphical loadscreen, but then X/GDM fail to start and my monitor displays "out of range"
[00:49] <Slart> Aztec007: haven't seen anything that shows your minimized apps.. I'm not sure they are even rendered..
[00:49] <pyrak> Slart, is it possible that i'm missing a driver for the ethernet port?
[00:49] <Allenwr> How would I access and change my xorg.conf on my HDD from the Live CD?
[00:49] <GMoo> hey question: how do i mount something to my desktop. what is the address ?
[00:50] <Slart> pyrak: it's possible.. but it doubt it.. unless it's some kind of weird new network card
[00:50] <Shadow147> GMoo what are you trying to mount?
[00:50] <Slart> GMoo: mount something to your desktop?.. try explaining again
[00:50] <GMoo> well --- i cannot play music over the network so i'm mounting the network drive there?
[00:50] <GMoo> For playing media files on shares, you'd be best to mount the samba shares properly rather than just view them through a browser.
[00:50] <pyrak> Slart, it's one of those new everx gpc
[00:50] <GMoo> sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=***,password=*** //path/to/share /mount/point
[00:50] <pyrak> 's
[00:51] <GMoo> now what do i use for /mont/point
[00:51] <pyrak> Slart, how do i structure a ping command so that it doesn't go on forever?
[00:51] <GMoo> to put it on my desktop[
[00:51] <Slart> GMoo: NOT your desktop.. that's for sure.. some folder in /media is the usual
[00:51] <GMoo> that sounds good. sladen
[00:51] <GMoo> that sounds good slart
[00:51] <GMoo> how do i do that
[00:51] <GMoo> just /media
[00:51] <Mudbug> Is there an Internet Radio Program for Ubuntu, Anyone?
[00:51] <lacko_> hi all
[00:52] <Slart> pyrak: you can see if your network is up.. do you have a terminal running on the computer?

[00:52] <GMoo> where did you go, slart ?
[00:52] <GMoo> okay ty

[01:00] <pyrak> Slart, awesome, so how do i make it run :/
[01:01] <tomvolek_> since i am the only person on this host, does it hurt to set the umask to 000
[01:01] <vimm> anything i can do to get upstart working correctly? :)
[01:01] <Yancho> will ubuntu support a p2 (333 mhz) 128mb ram laptop ?

[01:03] <Slart> pyrak: I'll brb.. got to try something
[01:03] <pyrak> someone help me turn on my ethernet card from terminal?

[01:05] <GMoo> hello
[01:05] <GMoo> where can i mount this
[01:05] <Tetrafish> can anyone help with my frets on fire game?
[01:05] <Megaqwerty> brophat: you should install it from there, as they are usually of a higher quality than unofficial ones
[01:06] <Tetrafish> it wont load to the point where i can play, it just exits itself out
[01:06] <pyrak> Slart, yes

[01:12] <Slart> pyrak: I'm not sure you can just add those lines.. might be more to it
[01:12] <pyrak> Slart, yeah, i'd imagine...
[01:12] <pyrak> Slart, when i installed ubuntu, i chose not to configure the internet part
[01:12] <pyrak> Slart, 'cus it wasn't plugged into the network
[01:12] <tomvolek_> however  i am loged in as tom all the time.
[01:12] <Slart> pyrak: oh.. wonder if that would be what's missing..
[01:12] <pyrak> Slart, so i wonder if there's a way that i can elect to go through that configuration step now?
[01:13] <Slart> pyrak: try this.. "sudo  dpkg-reconfigure network-manager"
[01:13] <azazel6667> robdig: thanks, I should've googled before coming in here, whoops :-)
[01:14] <DIL> Hi all, I am try to learn the use FTP on my home network.  Is it possible to do this or is only with an "officail" website
[01:14] <Jamesinator> I'm trying to get Ubuntu running on a new Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, but running out-of-the-box Ubuntu finishes the graphical loadscreen, but then X/GDM fail to start and my monitor displays "out of range"
[01:15] <Slart> DIL: you can do it at home.. it might take some configuring to get it set up.. but it's doable
[01:15] <pyrak> Slart, it says i don't have network-manager... so i'll apt-get install it
[01:15] <katakaio> Jamesinator: Have you tried installing in safe graphics mode?
[01:15] <Slart> pyrak: try network-manager-gnome instead
[01:15] <Toxic> hallo an ale
[01:15] <Toxic> ;)
[01:15] <robdig> tomvolek_: hmm...you can change the user and group who owns the filesystem after it is mounted...see the mount command and go down to the section for your filesystem type. once you have it, then you can adjust the options with /etc/fstab
[01:15] <gluttony>  /server irc.irchighway.net
[01:16] <pyrak> Slart, i didn't install a GUI
[01:16] <Toxic> kann hie rjmd. deutsch sprechen ?
[01:16] <Slart> pyrak: bah.. nevermind.. forgot
[01:16] <DIL> Slart, would put the ip address of my target computer or the name, is it possible to walk me through
[01:16] <Aztec007> are there any apps out there for ubuntu so that I can make a back up of my current system configuration that way if I install something that breaks something, that I can sort set a "system restore point" ?
[01:16] <pyrak> Slart, :P
[01:17] <Slart> DIL: you can use the ip-address to connect to it.. but you have to setup a ftp-server first
[01:17] <Toxic> can anybody help me with open Suse 10.3 Installation ?
[01:17] <pyrak> Slart, woo! now i have an eth0!
[01:17] <DIL> ahh
[01:17] <Slart> DIL: unfortunately I can't walk you through it
[01:17] <E-mu> anyone know if there is an all in one package for the missing programs "vcdxbuild, vcdxminof and vcdxrip"
[01:17] <tomvolek_> right robdig....  i just did not know what was plugdev for .. ts root owned.. but my regular user is "tom" and belongs to group plugdev .. so it seems like i can write to the partition
[01:17] <E-mu> for k3b
[01:17] <Slart> pyrak: you do? .. but.. you didn't do anything?

[01:18] <pyrak> Slart, did, that's where i
[01:18] <pyrak> 'm now seeing eth0
[01:18] <pyrak> yup
[01:18] <gumpish> Is there a way to specify a particular cirectory within a tarball that you want to extract? (The man page has virtually no examples...)

[01:19] <rodolfo> nickrud: i have good news:  i just used apt-get remove --purge compizconfig-settings-manager and installed the one i downloaded (that deb file) and it worked.
[01:19] <pyrak> Slart, oh, yeah, i can

[01:20] <Slart> pyrak: can you ping 66.249.93.147 ?
[01:20] <Slart> pyrak: you should be able to.. if you setup ssh
[01:20] <pyrak> Slart, how do i structure that ping command so that it won't go on forever?
[01:20] <Slart> pyrak: there's a switch.. I don't remember
[01:21] <Slart> pyrak: I use ctrl+c to abort it
[01:21] <pyrak> Slart, that'll work from a command-line only machine?
[01:21] <Slart> pyrak: yes
[01:22] <Slart> pyrak: could you ping that ip-number? (it's one of google's ips)
[01:22] <pyrak> Slart, yes, i was able to ping it
[01:22] <ubuntu> remasterisation  on virtual machine i  hav  lost  my   config   it's   normal?? someone try?
[01:22] <Slart> pyrak: ok.. then you've got the basic networking stuff up and running.. you still can't ping www.google.com, right?

[01:38] <verb3k> tyrone, I guess you have to make a partition for xp first with FAT32 or NTFS
[01:39] <verb3k> tyrone, then install XP on it ( careful not to install it on the ubuntu partition)
[01:39] <fabio_> Any one have the pakage of kiba-dock .deb????
[01:40] <tyrone> verb3k, i already have the partition but the windows installation crashes at the hardware recognition
[01:40] <verb3k> tyrone, after that you use the ubuntu LiveCD to install GRUB again
[01:40] <fabio_> Any one have the pakage of kiba-dock .deb????
[01:40] <verb3k> tyrone, hmm....sorry, but I am no windows expert
[01:40] <tyrone> verb3k, i think it does not recognize my partitions
[01:41] <fabio_> Any one have the pakage of kiba-dock .deb????

[01:46] <Chuck> Repartitioning (my first question on IRC): I want to change my swap partition from one drive to another.  I've created the new partition, but how do I tell Ubuntu to use the new partition.  My guess is that it is still using the old partition.
[01:47] <kinglet> who know a software same Frontpage in windows but for Ubuntu Linux?
[01:47] <snadge> which package is responsible for crash detection in gnome/ubuntu.. eg, what makes the window fade to black, and the force quit (non responsive task) dialog to be displayed?
[01:47] <SamsLembas> Chuck- I am pretty sure it will use any and all swap partitions found on startup. Perhaps someone else can tell you how to check and make sure though.....
[01:48] <Glam> right now i'm preparing my partions, what should the mount point be called?
[01:48] <Shadow147> kinglet | !find screem

[01:50] <kinglet> who know a software same Frontpage in windows but for Ubuntu Linux?

[01:50] <crdlb> shameless: are you using compiz (or were at any point)?

[01:51] <tim167> kinglet KompoZer is the closest I know...not that I know frontpage tho...
[01:51] <bastid_raZor> Glam: technically no, but on the install ubuntu makes you put one yes.

Is there a way to have different resolutions for different mirrored screens?
[01:52] <Glam> what should the main mount point be called?
[01:53] <Glam> /boot or /home
[01:53] <shameless> crdlb: thanks for the help
[01:53] <crdlb> shameless: compiz supports setting a toggle fullscreen key (in the extra wm actions plugin), which I use to fix it

[01:58] <bastid_raZor> workTime for me.
[01:58] <sparr> Fezzler: ttys0
[01:58] <ubuntu> akos my guess would be problem with the usb port itself in linux if dmesg isn't showing anything when you plug into it
[01:58] <akos> ubuntu, it's a built-in reader
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Fezzler: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[01:58] <Fezzler> akos: what you trying to do?
[01:59] <akos> ubuntu, like in a laptop
[01:59] <ubuntu> akos i see

[01:59] <akos> Fezzler, *work
[01:59] <Glam> i got an error when i tried to make a new partition
[01:59] <Glam> mkfs.ext3/dev/sda4
[01:59] <akos> also, it *IS* working under windows, so it must be some software not correctly configured / instlalled
[01:59] <MasterShrek> Glam, sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4
[02:00] <Glam> i type that in the terminal right?
[02:00] <MasterShrek> Glam, of course thats just formatting the partition, the partition needs to already exist
[02:00] <MasterShrek> yes in the terminal
[02:00] <Glam> ooh
[02:00] <egc> hi all
[02:00] <MasterShrek> happy holidays egc
[02:00] <egc> what are the special keys on a laptop keyboard called? i.e., vol up, vol down, mute
[02:01] <MasterShrek> multimedia keys i spose
[02:01] <MasterShrek> or special keys
[02:01] <Glam> it says command not found
[02:01] <egc> MasterShrek: thx, same to you!
[02:01] <sat_> I've XP & Ubuntu. I'd like to install Nexenta (OpenSolaris). Can I install it without disturbing XP/Ubuntu. I'm worried as I'll be resizing the existing partitions.
[02:01] <egc> do you know what is responsible for providing their functionality?
[02:01] <egc> like what software?
[02:02] <Glam> and now i got an exclamation point with a clock and a black swuare in gparted
[02:02] <Glam> *square
[02:02] <Glam> i'm assuming that's not a good sign
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Glam: I prefer the stand alone gparted to the gparted in the ubuntu livecd
[02:03] <brian__> "sudo dmraid -ay" reports "RAID st "sil_aeabbjafcbae" already active but gparted doesn't see it... just the individual drives... any suggestions?
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !gparted
[02:03] <ubotu> 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/
[02:03] <egc> sat_, i've done so without problem.  but i installed solaris express
[02:03] <MasterShrek> brian__, why do you need gparted to see the raid?
[02:03] <egc> opensolaris is really cool too
[02:03] <MasterShrek> i doubt its suppose to anyways
[02:03] <renegade420> i am trying to setup my Ubuntu server at home..how do i obtain the ip address?
[02:03] <GMoo> howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music'
[02:03] <GMoo> what is the problem ?
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> gparted doesn't seem to work right in Gutsy.. works fine on my laptop w/ feisty, but won't work on the PC
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> i usje the live CD...
[02:03] <brian__> well i want to mount the array... but i dont know what fs is on them
[02:04] <brian__> i don't remember
[02:04] <Glam> it was working before, then i tried to make a swap but i already had 4 main things
[02:04] <MasterShrek> renegade420, run ifconfig from the terminal it will tell you
[02:04] <MasterShrek> brian__, did you format it?
[02:04] <brian__> MasterShrek i don't believe so
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Glam: you can only have 4 primarty partitions, you need to create an extended and add logical partions in there
[02:04] <brian__> MasterShrek i did in windows
[02:04] <sat_> egc: cool. i'm trying Nexenta as it's similar to Ubuntu. so, resizing existing partitions won't affect Ubuntu/Xp, right?
[02:05] <MasterShrek> brian__, then its probably ntfs, if not use vfat
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> sat_: There are always dangers working at the partition level.
[02:05] <Glam> but now the 4th partition has some kind of issue
[02:05] <egc> sat_: well, you should back-up any important data before resizing a filesystem
[02:05] <akos> ltcolonel, nope...
[02:06] <mattycoze> ping
[02:06] <sat_> Jack_Sparrow: ok. worst case, i'll reinstall everything.
[02:06] <egc> sat_: but if you do so, you should be fine and able to recover in the event something goes wrong
[02:06] <GMoo> howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music'
[02:06] <GMoo> howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music'
[02:06] <GMoo> howdy people> i am on my desktop and i type ls. i see "music" but i cannot go 'cd music'
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> sat_: Not to mention their installer properly recognizing the other os's and getting them into the grub or in some cases lilo menu
[02:06] <SamsLembas> My graphics sudenly and randomly stopped functioning. Detailes are listed in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649929 . Ayone have any ideas?
[02:06] <brian__> mastershrek: both return mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/sil_aeabbjafcbae
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !repeat > GMoo:
[02:06] <renegade420> hrm i seem to get 127.0.0.1
[02:06] <sat_> jack_sparrow / egc: ok
[02:06] <GMoo> !repeate | GMoo:
[02:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about repeate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:06] <egc> sat_: fyi, opensolaris has a livecd now too
[02:06] <MasterShrek> brian__, /dev/mapper/sil_aebbjafcbae?   wtf is that?
[02:07] <egc> you can try playing with it
[02:07] <MasterShrek> brian__, the only raids ive encountered have been called /dev/mdXX
[02:07] <GMoo> Jack_Sparrow: why don't you TELL ME my answer instead of asking me to not repeate myself.
[02:07] <egc> youll probably need to use OSS drivers for sound either way
[02:07] <brian__> mastershrek my _FAKERaid_ array
[02:07] <sat_> egc: i tried live cd. but, i wanna try Nexenta (a distro of opensolaris).
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> GMoo: Because repeating is rude to the other users in the channel
[02:07] <J_Laptop> /dev/mapper is dmraid (software assisted hardware raid)
[02:07] <MasterShrek> oh fakeraid, never done one of them
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> SamsLembas: wierd, have you tried reconfiguring xorg.conf?
[02:07] <renegade420> my friend who helped me with the server told me to port forward port 22
[02:07] <sat_> egc: Nexenta doesn't have live cd.
[02:08] <MasterShrek> i wouldnt ever make a raid on a dual boot machine, sounds like trouble to me
[02:08] <mwag> anyone know how to use Wine?
[02:08] <MasterShrek> yes
[02:08] <MasterShrek> wine file.exe
[02:08] <renegade420> im kind of a n00b at this im running a linksys router
[02:08] <sat_> egc: how was you experience with opensolaris
[02:08] <MasterShrek> from the command line
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> !anyone | mwag
[02:08] <Sir_Funk> I want to have a partition for media like songs and movies, but I want to be able to access it both from Linux and XP. What kind of filesystem should it be?
[02:08] <ubotu> mwag: 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?
[02:08] <brian__> MasterShrk know that now... but theres about 80gigs of MP3s on there.. its not dual boot anymore
[02:08] <J_Laptop> renegade - are you trying to ssh from one machine to another behid your router?
[02:08] <akos> Can anyone else phelp me on an issue (e.g. not working) with my Ricoh card reader?
[02:08] <brian__> MasterShrk i just don't want to lose all that music
[02:08] <SamsLembas> Mwag: use "sudo apt-get install wine" to install it, and then "wine " followed by the path to the .exe file to run an app.
[02:08] <mattycoze> ping
[02:08] <MasterShrek> Sir_Funk, ntfs will work
[02:08] <MasterShrek> pong
[02:08] <Sir_Funk> thanks :)
[02:09] <mattycoze> thx
[02:09] <egc> sat_: i liked it alot, i'll probably transition to it when it officially releases in april
[02:09] <egc> although, some media codecs will be problematic
[02:09] <MasterShrek> akos, my ricoh card reader doesnt work either
[02:09] <sat_> egc: okay, i'll try and share my experience later. hope you catch you on this forum.
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterShrek: I have to agree, raid and dual boot is looking for trouble
[02:09] <egc> mp3 is easy enough, but i didnt get dvd, mpeg, etc. yet
[02:10] <akos> MasterShrek, but it was working before reinstalling 7.10
[02:10] <egc> im on solaris express developer edition right now
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> egc: did you install the restricted drivers ber the link
[02:10] <renegade420> J_Laptop, when i tried to ssh like i did at my friends house it complained aobut port 22
[02:10] <MasterShrek> akos, i dunno what to tell you, i dont try it very often, every once in awhile, ive never had it work though
[02:10] <egc> Jack_Sparrow, in opensolaris i dont that framework works the same
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> egc: Sorry, not for solaris
[02:10] <egc> i don't remember though
[02:10] <brian__> jack_sparrow and MasterShrek I'm not dualbooting.. i'm trying to get the data off thats already on them.  But it was put on there using windows.  I am no longer using windows at all but i need to get the data back
[02:11] <MasterShrek> ic brian__, and you are sure that is the device name of the raid?
[02:11] <akos> MasterShrek, my other usb card reader doesn't work either
[02:11] <brian__> thats what dmraid -ay returns
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: If you are trying to get data back from a raid array....   built with windows...  ugh..
[02:11] <J_Laptop> Renegade - if both machines are behind the router, you won't be able to use the dyndns hostname
[02:11] <J_Laptop> at least, most routers will be like that
[02:12] <WGGMk> is it possible (does anyone know) to save Virtual Machines (VMWare) over a samba share???? or is there a vmware irc channel??
[02:12] <brian__> jack_sparrow might be out of luck huh?
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: I have not had any luck with doing it
[02:12] <Get_A_Fix> good day, I installed Compiz on 6.06 LTS, it didn't run right so I uninstalled it through Synaptic. Now in the Gnome Desktop I have no upper window bars, the ones with the maximize minimize buttons, I cannot drag winows around the desktop, and all windows are stuck to the top right corner of the screen. Please, which files do I need to edit to get Gnome back to normal ?
[02:12] <evilzz> http://sexyoffice.office-on-the.net/
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: Which is one reason I avoid raid these days, not to mention the drives are so much faster than when I needed raid to get systems up to speed
[02:13] <brian__> jack_sparrow i raided them years ago with windows to make them one large drive to store my music collection on
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: Did you install compiz with synaptic in Dapper
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: I have been there...   and no I dont have any solutions
[02:14] <Get_A_Fix> no, I followed something in the wiki, used apt get
[02:14] <sat_> egc: Can I install ubuntu apps on OpenSolaris. for example, skpye is availabe for Ubuntu.
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> sat_: i don't think solaris is debian based
[02:15] <Glam> yay, finally i got it installing
[02:15] <ernesto> i have mplayer and a dvd. i try to play with mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/cdrom1 and and i get: Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/cdrom1
[02:15] <ernesto> i know the dvd is inside the drive and that dvds work with it
[02:15] <Glam> after 4 hours
[02:15] <Get_A_Fix> Jack_Sparrow: no, I followed something in the wiki, used apt get via Edgy backports
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: It is a really bad idea to do that..
[02:16] <egc> sat_: there are many opensource apps you can install; check out blastwave.org
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> Get_A_Fix: why not just download and install gutsy?
[02:16] <GMoo> hey i have a question: how do i mount something to music
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: I would pull those repos out asap... and hope for the best.
[02:16] <egc> sat_: also opensolaris comes with some, like pidgin, rhythmbox
[02:16] <Get_A_Fix> Jack_Sparrow:no way to fix Gnome ?
[02:17] <MasterShrek> brian__, reinstall windows, and backup the data on the raid maybe? then install ubuntu and make the raid in ubuntu, or do away with it if htats waht you want to do
[02:17] <ari_stress> hi guys, anyone's working on ltsp5?
[02:17] <V3nd3tt4> Hello, I've a big problem, when I start my computer, at the beginning of splash loading, start a "busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
[02:17] <V3nd3tt4> Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
[02:17] <mwag> anyone play World of Warcraft? I need help installing it using Wine
[02:17] <V3nd3tt4> (initramfs)"
[02:17] <V3nd3tt4> I try to modify the menu.list of grub (root=/dev/sda4) and I try to do e2fsck /dev/sda4 from live cd, but nothing :( some body know how to repair my Ubuntu 7.10? :(
[02:17] <Glam> does the livecd not support widescreen?
[02:17] <sat_> egc: i want skype due to video chat
[02:17] <Get_A_Fix>  Jack_Sparrow: I would pull them if I knew how, just remove them from the repo llist ?
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: Changing repos to a different release or distro really really messes up a system.. sort of what automatix does.. more trouble to untangle that we can handle in this channel
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> Glam: depends on the video card....  sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, if it doesn't, just install, then set it up once installed.
[02:18] <Glam> oh ok
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: sources.list   or use the link to follow to restore the originals..
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[02:18] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:19] <egc> sat_: yeah i like skype too, but i haven't tried installing it yet
[02:19] <egc> so i don't know
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Get_A_Fix: how long have you had Dapper installed?
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !skype
[02:19] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[02:19] <sat_> egc: no prob. i'll also try..
[02:19] <sat_> egc: thanks for your tips.
[02:19] <GMoo> what is the address on music
[02:19] <fabio_> i cant install kiba-dock
[02:19] <fabio_> says

[02:19] <Get_A_Fix> Since right after it came out
[02:20] <thompa> im having a problem with wget stopping every minute
[02:20] <fabio_> i did make install
[02:20] <egc> sat_: np, good luck ;)
[02:20] <Get_A_Fix> IndyGunFreak: since right after it came out
[02:20] <SamsLembas> Anyone have any advice on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649929 ? Even just a "Sorry man, your screwed" to show you read it and have no clue? ;)
[02:20] <GMoo> where is 'music' located, as i am trying to mount something to it
[02:20] <V3nd3tt4> so nobody know why I've this problem? :(
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> Get_A_Fix: maybe its time to upgrade to a current version.
[02:20] <Get_A_Fix> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks .
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> SamsLembas: i tried to ask you about the problem earlier
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: I wish I had a better answer...
[02:21] <SamsLembas> Oh, sorry, must have missed that.
[02:21] <doctormo> hello everyone
[02:21] <fabio_> i did ./autogen.sh make
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: You can try recovery mode and install kubuntu-desktop and other things like that
[02:21] <fabio_> and i try to install sudo make install
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Get_A_Fix: You cant hurt much at this point
[02:21] <fabio_> but not happens natheng
[02:21] <doctormo> I just replaced a motherboard in an ubuntu 7.10 machine; it used to be an old celeron 400Mhz machine, and is now a 1.7Ghz Pentium
[02:22] <Soskel> http://webtechmedia.net/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> SamsLembas: you coudl try reconfiguring xserver, using only generic defaults, and see how it boots the GUI.., then setup any drivers, etc.
[02:22] <doctormo> The problem is that the boot process is all screwed up, takes forever to boot; is black until the logon and is generally slow
[02:22] <SamsLembas> IndyGunFreak- In response to recommending recofiguring X: I tried bootinf from live CD, and that did not work, so don't see why that would.....
[02:22] <thompa> can wget work with large isos?
[02:22] <MenZa> Soskel: do you really wish to continue hosting that CD image?
[02:22] <rredd4> how do i get my   minimize, maximize and  close (X) buttons back, they are missing when i open any window
[02:22] <MenZa> thompa: wget works with everything.
[02:22] <Soskel> MenZa: why not?
[02:22] <Get_A_Fix> Jack_Sparrow: IndyGunFreak: Get_A_Fix: maybe its time to upgrade to a current version. - maybe he's right, I'll certainly try everything else first though, thanks people.
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> SamsLembas: well, you shouldn't need a live cd to reconfigure x
[02:22] <MenZa> Soskel: well, and leave it public?
[02:22] <Soskel> MenZa: yea
[02:23] <thompa> MenZa: im having it stop every 20g or so and have to restart with -c
[02:23] <MenZa> Soskel: I suspect it'll take up quite a bit of bandwidth :)
[02:23] <Soskel> psss bandwidth
[02:23] <MenZa> thompa: that sounds like a dodgy internet connection, rather than a problem with wget.
[02:23] <SamsLembas> But booting from a LiveCD will accomplish the same thing for troubleshooting as reconfiguring X, correct?
[02:23] <Soskel> I have plenty to spare

[02:26] <sat_> ok, I'd like to see OpennSolaris's distros grow / mature. I hope Sun will look into the directions of its distros. It nees improvment. For example, look at the distro's of Ubuntu. It's clear vision for each of the distros. Currenlty, when the linux user looks at the distros of OpenSolaris, in my view, he/she might scratch the head.
[02:26] <sat_> yes, nexenta seems to be okay to download and try. but, in terms of community / support / fund, i don't think any distro is strong.

[02:30] <juano__> fabio_: you've been warned already, please private msg the bot to investigate
[02:30] <Hot_Girl> to MUSIC
[02:30] <LjL> fabio_: yes you did. you were given the correct syntax to use multiple times, and you *were* adviced to use it in PM or in #ubuntu-bots, yet you kept spamming it in here
[02:30] <Hobbsee> Hot_Girl: places menu, network?
[02:31] <santiamigo> hello
[02:31] <thompa> MenZa: ive never had speeds that fast either which is strange
[02:31] <santiamigo> can you help me?¿?
[02:31] <thompa> so i lose connection when downloading large files
[02:31] <Chemicalvamp> !ask
[02:31] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:31] <mongolai> Hot_Girl: is music on the remote computer and if so is it set as a share?
[02:31] <dooglus> thompa: for large downloads, windows seems to be more reliable than ubuntu
[02:32] <thompa> dooglus: i dont think so
[02:32] <fabio_> i cant install kiba dock i did ./autogen.sh make an i tryed to instal sudo make install and appears this make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop
[02:32] <thompa> dooglus: wget can resume with -c option also less junk
[02:32] <dooglus> thompa: just my experience.  I find the network connection in ubuntu drops out if you use it too much.
[02:32] <dooglus> thompa: wget is cross platform.
[02:32] <Glam> i'm confused, right now i'm following instructions so ubuntu will work.  the instructions say
[02:32] <robdig> buggeredfstab: do you mean the panel?
[02:33] <Glam> o You must edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file; adding a line with the word: piix
[02:33] <Glam> -- you should do this with your favorite unix editor; or simply type the command:
[02:33] <Glam> echo piix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[02:33] <thompa> dooglus: there has to be a reason for that
[02:33] <juano__> !compile | fabio_ (have you read this yet) :)
[02:33] <buggeredfstab> robdig: I think so. it's the bar on top of the windows with the _ [] X at the end
[02:33] <Glam> i have no clue what that means.
[02:33] <ubotu> fabio_ (have you read this yet) :): Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[02:33] <dooglus> thompa: yes, it's open source, free software.  people can port it to any OS they like
[02:33] <Glam> what should i type in the terminal?
[02:33] <thompa> dooglus: its been running ubuntu 64 for about a year no internet problem
[02:34] <robdig> buggeredfstab: oh, you mean the window title bar...I'll check
[02:34] <dooglus> thompa: are you from the future?  I've not seen anything newer than ubuntu 7.10
[02:34] <sat_> i like Ubuntu and continue to recommend to my collegues/friends due to the Ubuntu Promise / community support. you don't get stuck as you get answers immediately.
[02:34] <thompa> dooglus: there are many things accessing the internet in windows
[02:34] <kaper> i try to mount window share directory in ubuntu. when i #mount -t smbfs -o username=myname //winserver/folder /myfolder. I got error message
[02:34] <ikonia> apologies my connection droppped
[02:34]  * kaper cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
[02:35] <sat_> Ubuntu Rocks. Thank you all.
[02:35] <unixy> Glam, type this echo piix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[02:35] <Glam> ok, thanks!
[02:35] <Chemicalvamp> how do i change my 1280x800 booting splash screen to 1024x768?
[02:35] <Hot_Girl> hello?
[02:35] <Hot_Girl> can someone help me
[02:35] <thompa> dooglus: if you want a newer you can compile your own. i got 2.6.24 on a notebook
[02:35] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: please ask your question
[02:35] <dooglus> thompa: if so, I have a few launchpad bugs I'd like you to look at any tell me if anyone has looked at them yet
[02:35] <buggeredfstab> robdig: it looks like I am missing part of the border on my windows.
[02:36] <ikonia> dooglus: you can see yourself
[02:36] <methice> poker gamer here ?
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> buggeredfstab: using compiz?
[02:36] <ikonia> dooglus: log into launchpad and look at the last updates
[02:36] <buggeredfstab> robdig: yeah
[02:36] <Niko-formerlyEag> for some reason when I ran update manager after installing 7.10 my windows partitions were no longer being mounted
[02:36] <ikonia> methice: no, just ubuntu support in this channel.
[02:36] <dooglus> ikonia: I've tried, but it only shows their current status.
[02:36] <Niko-formerlyEag> how do I add partitions to be mounted at boot time without manually editing fstab?
[02:36] <methice> ikonia, just for free not money ;)
[02:36] <sat_> Guys, Go to http://www.ideastorm.com/ and vote for Ubuntu..
[02:36] <thompa> dooglus: well this is my home box been running amd64 and good upgrades with ubuntu
[02:36] <ikonia> dooglus: then that's the current status
[02:36] <ikonia> methice: this is ubuntu support channel only.
[02:36] <WGGMk> is it possible (does anyone know) to save Virtual Machines (VMWare) over a samba share???? or is there a vmware irc channel??
[02:36] <dooglus> ikonia: yes
[02:37] <Chemicalvamp> my bootscreen is terribly offcenter, is there a way i can change its resolution? if anybody has an idea where these files are lemme know
[02:37] <ikonia> dooglus: so what's the problem, that's where they are
[02:37] <ikonia> dooglus: wait for updates
[02:37] <Glam> ok, thanks for the help everyone!
[02:37] <dooglus> ikonia: I have bee
[02:37] <dooglus> n
[02:37] <Glam> happy holidays!
[02:37] <ikonia> dooglus: sit tight then
[02:37] <sat_> Dell ships ubuntu laptops, but it's not made ubuntu laptops easy to find. I don't know why. So, vote http://www.ideastorm.com/
[02:37] <robdig> buggeredfstab: are you using gnome?
[02:37] <juano__> Niko-formerlyEag: u can make a startup script
[02:38] <buggeredfstab> robdig: yes, Gnome, Gutsy, Compiz.
[02:38] <ikonia> sat_: how about no, how about respect the channel guidelines and topics. This is ubuntu support releated questions only.
[02:38] <Niko-formerlyEag> juano__: isn't there a gui somewhere to configure that?  it looks like fstab discourages editing my hand
[02:38] <juano__> !diskmounter | Niko-formerlyEag
[02:38] <Niko-formerlyEag> I guess I'm too lazy to do it by hand right now
[02:38] <ubotu> Niko-formerlyEag: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[02:38] <thompa> dooglus: if your running something special you can try some custom kernel, for macbook eg
[02:38] <robdig> buggeredfstab: is gtk-window-decorator running?
[02:38] <juano__> Niko-formerlyEag: try that link ubotu just gave you
[02:38] <Niko-formerlyEag> thanks
[02:39] <sat_> ikonia: ok. sorry. i respect that.
[02:39] <buggeredfstab> says sleeping
[02:39] <dooglus> thompa: I'm running a bog standard ubuntu 7.10 and a bog standard (although czech) windows xp.  xp can stay online, ubuntu can't.  same laptop, same wireless card.
[02:39] <infbliss> Hibernate feature does not seem to work on Dell Vostro 1000. I have
[02:39] <infbliss> 	   reported this in Launchpad is there a temporary workaround for this??
[02:39] <ikonia> dooglus: the linux drivers or encyption will potentially have issues
[02:39] <santiamigo> i have a HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP 56kbps can not make it work in ubuntu feisty fawn
[02:39] <thompa> dooglus: whats the wireless?
[02:39] <ikonia> dooglus: or it could be an incompatible driver between your card and router
[02:40] <dooglus> ikonia: I've tried lots of routers and they all fail the same, so I guess it's not a problem with the router
[02:40] <thompa> does it loss connection when you move around? he he
[02:40] <ikonia> dooglus: I didn't say it was a problem with the router.
[02:40] <robdig> buggeredfstab: hmm, that should be ok. have you tried restarting X?
[02:41] <dooglus> ikonia: the card is apparently "06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)"
[02:41] <thompa> dooglus: ive run it
[02:41] <ikonia> dooglus: there are various issues with that card. a LOT are logged on launchpad. I'm currently using the card without issue
[02:41] <buggeredfstab> robdig: I've rebooted several times
[02:41] <santiamigo> can you help me i have a HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP 56kbps can not make it work in ubuntu feisty fawn
[02:42] <thompa> dooglus: its dodgy series
[02:42] <thompa> dooglus: i had that one on a vaio, and on the toshiba got it working, but intermittant
[02:42] <robdig> buggeredfstab: hmm...
[02:42] <kenan> is there such thing as themes for epiphany so i can customize the buttons and all that?
[02:42] <novasense> anyone knows is there any best statistical tools like spss in Linux?

[02:43] <thompa> dooglus: same here, fixed
[02:43] <Hot_Girl> question: how do i mount my network drive into music ?
[02:43] <faglarg> http://nitin.myminicity.com/
[02:43] <thompa> dooglus: you need to go to the forums, reinstall alsa or newer kernel
[02:43] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: do you want to moount a network drive that contains music ?
[02:43] <dooglus> Hot_Girl: did you try the 'mount' command?
[02:43] <robdig> buggeredfstab: is metacity running?
[02:43] <Hot_Girl> yes i do, ikonia
[02:43] <Hot_Girl> no i didn't, dooglus
[02:43] <juano__> Hot_Girl: you want to access a remote folder that has music ?
[02:44] <buggeredfstab> robdig: No on metacity
[02:44] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: ok, where is the share located, on a windows machine for example ?
[02:44] <thompa> dooglus: everything will work but wireless maybe for now
[02:44] <dooglus> thompa: one of them has never worked, and I've installed debian and ubuntu on 2 different laptops
[02:44] <thompa> dooglus: whats the video card intel or nvidia
[02:44] <mac_> hi
[02:44] <robdig> buggeredfstab: ok, wanted to make sure there wasn't two window managers running.
[02:44] <Hot_Girl> yes it is on a windows machine, ikonia
[02:44] <crdlb> buggeredfstab: nvidia?
[02:44] <dooglus> thompa: it's ATI
[02:44] <maynards-girl> has anyone tried installing ubuntu on leopard using qemu?
[02:44] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: ok, you need to install the packages "samba" and "smbfs"
[02:44] <thompa> dooglus: could be worse
[02:44] <buggeredfstab> crdlb: yeah, Nvidia drivers.
[02:44] <hanasakiRemote> hi Hot
[02:45] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: have you done/can you do that please.
[02:45] <Hot_Girl> okay. i think i have done both of thoes . now what

[02:45] <Hot_Girl>  sudo aptitude install smbfs
[02:45] <Atru1> does anyone know if there is an eta on flash for Gutsy x64?
[02:45] <dooglus> Hot_Girl: I use: sudo mount -t cifs -opassword=,uid=chris //192.168.1.12/d /media/server
[02:45] <mac_> anybody there to guide me to access my windows system from ubuntu
[02:45] <crdlb> buggeredfstab: run this: sudo nvidia-xconfig  --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
[02:45] <thompa> dooglus: i got ubuntu running on almost all the different lappys, but some take work
[02:45] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: youo can either do this via the gnome gui and use the "network places" gui or use the command line and the command "mount" which would you like.
[02:45] <thompa> dooglus: macbook is great on ubuntu btw
[02:45] <dooglus> thompa: it runs, just hardly anything works quite right
[02:45] <ikonia> mac_: follow Hot_Girl's conversation it may give you an idea.
[02:45] <Hot_Girl> gmoonit@gmoonit-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=gmoonit,password=x //hammy/FreeAgent /desktop/FreeAgent
[02:45] <robdig> buggeredfstab: try killing gtk-window-decorator, and then typing gtk-window-decorator --replace
[02:45] <hanasakiRemote> hey what's the channel for the 3d gui stuff?
[02:45] <k335> hi i got a little question
[02:46] <crdlb> buggeredfstab: then restart X
[02:46] <k335> what do i need to run .run files?
[02:46] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: and what is the output of that ?
[02:46] <hanasakiRemote> this good enough for a 22" monitor or is it too low?   1680   x   1050
[02:46] <ikonia> k335: are these nvidia/ati drivers by any chance ?
[02:46] <buggeredfstab> I can't read my terminal right now due to lack of window
[02:46] <juano__> hanasakiRemote: #ubuntu-effects
[02:46] <k335> no its a game i downloaded
[02:46] <k335> for linux
[02:46] <dooglus> Hot_Girl: you'll need a directory /desktop for that to work
[02:46] <crdlb> juano__: that channel is gone
[02:46] <k335> its an installer
[02:46] <juano__> crdlb: oh
[02:46] <crdlb> it redirects to #compiz-fusion now
[02:46] <Mistylady> Wayni u there?
[02:47] <kenan> are there themes for epiphany so i can customize the buttons?
[02:47] <ikonia> k335: you need to chmod it (make it executable) then ./$name_of_file.pkg
[02:47] <juano__> crdlb: right :)
[02:47] <Hot_Girl> ikonia: it says that /desktop/FreeAgent is not correct
[02:47] <dooglus> Hot_Girl: do you mean /home/hotgirl/Desktop/FreeAgent instea?
[02:47] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: no it doesn't what is the exact error
[02:47] <mac_> i tried to access my windows laptop, but it doesnt connect from the Places>Network
[02:47] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: pleace /desktopFreeAgent with a valid mount point
[02:47] <k335> and how do i chmod it?
[02:47] <ikonia> k335: chmod +x $file
[02:47] <Hot_Girl> yes, what is the avlid mount point, ikonia
[02:48] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: what is the exact error then please.
[02:48] <juano__> mac_: have you installed samba ?
[02:48] <k335> thanks ikonia^^
[02:48] <mac_> yep
[02:48] <juano__> mac_: have you edited smb.conf ?
[02:48] <mac_> nope
[02:48] <Hot_Girl> one sec, its insalling sambas now... you'll have to wait thanks ikonia
[02:48] <robdig> buggeredfstab: you can hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console window...ctrl+alt+f7 to get back
[02:48] <mac_> let me see it
[02:48] <ikonia> juano__: why does he have to do that
[02:48] <juano__> ikonia: well, if he can't connect to his windows box, i have to check to see what settings are inside smb.conf
[02:49] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: you told me you had samba installed
[02:49] <ikonia> juano__: why ?
[02:49] <Hot_Girl> i only have the other one installed -- oops
[02:49] <Syco54645> i just got a new lcd monitor widescreen... it looks like crap because it is still using the old monitor info.  how do i go about fixing htat?
[02:49] <juano__> ikonia: because if he has another workgroup in his settings or other bad lines he won't be able to connect probably
[02:49] <ikonia> juano__: mount he's trying to mount, not share the file sstems
[02:49] <Hot_Girl> one sec IKEAwh0re
[02:50] <ikonia> juano__: if it's the default, it's fine
[02:50] <juano__> ikonia: ?? im talking to mac
[02:50] <danzigrules> does no one read documentation anymore?
[02:50] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: what did you call me
[02:50] <mac_> yep, there is no settings in smb.conf
[02:50] <juano__> ikonia: not Hot_Girl
[02:50] <buggeredfstab> crdlb: Worked, thanks!
[02:50] <mac_> just full of comments
[02:50] <buggeredfstab> robdig: thanks for your help, it's working now
[02:50] <ikonia> juano__: same is applies to mac
[02:50] <mac_> what should i add to smb.conf
[02:50] <robdig> buggeredfstab: np
[02:51] <fabio_> any ones have a version .deb of kiba-dock our avant dock?
[02:51] <Glam> major problemo...
[02:51] <juano__> ikonia: emm, the question was "i can't access my windows laptop from places network"
[02:51] <oic> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp
[02:51] <ikonia> juano__: yeah,
[02:51] <wilo_> i cant install a package, 'gcdmaster' from add/remove apps.
[02:51] <wilo_> Cannot install 'gcdmaster'
[02:51] <wilo_> This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gcdmaster' the conflicting software must be removed first.
[02:51] <wilo_> Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict.
[02:51] <juano__> ikonia: if he can't access his windows laptop using samba, i think SMB.CONF has plenty to do with it
[02:51] <Glam> ubuntu gives me /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off, error again.
[02:51] <wilo_> how can i find the dependacies?
[02:51] <Syco54645> anyone know how to set new monitor info in ubuntu?
[02:51] <fabio_> bany ones have a version .deb of kiba-dock our avant dock?
[02:51] <ikonia> juano__: depends on the error, and if it's the default, I'd disagree
[02:51] <SamsLembas> Hello- I am having some trouble with my nVidia drivers (non-free ones). How would I go about resetting them to the defaults?
[02:51] <Glam> and then when i try to dual boot into vista i get a quick bsd
[02:52] <Glam> so, am i screwed?
[02:52] <Glam> i'm on the live cd right now since i can't boot into either one of those
[02:52] <ikonia> Glam: bsd = windows issue = the channel ##windows
[02:52] <wilo_> how do i remove 'conflicting software; in gutsy?
[02:52] <juano__> ikonia: default or not the problem is there, so i suggest to see the smb.conf file to see if everything is right, i wouldn't be 100% sure that everything in there is right, so i think to check the file is a valid option
[02:53] <ikonia> juano__: what is his error message ?
[02:53] <danzigrules> Syco54645: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[02:53] <juano__> ikonia: he hasn't posted one yet
[02:53] <Syco54645> danbhtwo, thanks
[02:53] <ikonia> juano__: exactly, so why start probing files for no reason
[02:53] <k335> well now i got the problem error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. and when i use apt-get to get the file it says file not found
[02:53] <danzigrules> google is your friend
[02:53] <wilo_> juano can you help me
[02:54] <oic> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though
[02:54] <juano__> ikonia: so you think that smb.conf has nothing to do with an ubuntu being unable to connect via samba to a windows share ?
[02:54] <Glam> then after the bsod it leads me back to the grub loader, and there are 2 choices for vista basic
[02:54] <Glam> so i chose the 2nd one and it lead me to some acer thing
[02:54] <ikonia> juano__: I didn't say that, I suggested you where diving in without even seeing the problem.
[02:54] <Hot_Girl> ok IKEAwh0re
[02:54] <Hot_Girl> okay ikonia
[02:54] <Hot_Girl> all that is installed --- now how do i mount this drive :-/
[02:54] <ikonia> juano__: eg: why start looking at the samba config when it's default without even seeing the problem.
[02:55] <Mistylady> Hello Wayni
[02:55] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: re-try the command you where using
[02:55] <etfb> Is there a Compiz support channel?  I installed it just now and it's hideously borked.

[02:55] <Pici> etfb: #compiz-fusion
[02:55] <etfb> Shiny; thanks
[02:56] <juano__> ikonia: ?? i don't understand you point yet, what am i supposed to do if not suggest to see the configuration file of samba? tell him "oh , it's by default, sorry you can't share? " no, i would like to help him so i'm on it, i really don't think seeing smb.conf is a bad idea, i have fixed more than 10 issues like this before
[02:56] <Hot_Girl> it is giving me a silly error now
[02:56] <ikonia> juano__: he's not told you the problem other than "it doesn't connect" I'm suggested find out the error
[02:56] <ikonia> juano__: he may not be able to even ping the box
[02:57] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: please give me the exact error
[02:57] <ikonia> juano__: just as an easy example
[02:57] <ikonia> juano__: rather than dive in randomly

[02:59] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: I told you that at the start. You told me it was a valid mount point.
[02:59] <Fezzler> How can I tell if Ubuntu "sees" my COM1 port/Serial and that my serial is COM1, not internal modem?
[03:00] <juano__> mac_: please give me the error message, does it output an error ?
[03:00] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: change it to a valid mount point with the command "sudo mkdir /media/FreeAgent" then mount it on "/media/FreeAgent"
[03:00] <juano__> mac_: what happens after you browse workgroup ?
[03:01] <Soskel> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/webtechmedia.net-release
[03:01] <mikedep333> hey, I have a corrupted tar.gz archive, is there a way to repair it?
[03:01] <mac_> "the folder contents could not be displayed, sorry couldn't display the contents of windows network:workgroup"
[03:01] <Soskel> I applied to be official mirror
[03:01] <Peddy> can someone tell me if it is safe to uninstall AppArmor?

[03:01] <juano__> mac_: do they ping each other ?
[03:01] <Fezzler> rencore: lsusb
[03:02] <mac_> they both are sharing a common wireless access point
[03:02] <snch_rptr> hey guys. can someone help me set up a VPN?
[03:02] <Fezzler> rencore: or dmesg
[03:02] <juano__> mac_: ok, try pinging your windows pc, do you know what ip it has ?
[03:02] <Fezzler> IS there a way to check status of my COM1 port?
[03:02] <mac_> yep they do ping
[03:03] <avalys> I need to run an X server in headless mode - it's for an automated test framework.  applications need to work, but nothing needs to be displayed anywhere
[03:03] <juano__> mac_: ok
[03:03] <mac_> 192.168.1.4
[03:03] <avalys> is this possible?
[03:03] <Watain> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory if I connect to localhost, but the new directory if I connect to the NAT IP.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though
[03:03] <Glam> I just installed 7.10 and i'm getting an error when i boot up ubuntu, /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off, and i can't boot vista either because it gave me the bsod and restarted the laptop
[03:03] <Peddy> can someone tell me if it is safe to uninstall AppArmor?
[03:03] <Glam> help please?
[03:03] <juano__> mac_: now do this first ---> system --> administration --> shared folders
[03:04] <ikonia> Peddy thats your choice.
[03:04] <mac_> ok, then
[03:04] <juano__> mac_: add a shared folder there
[03:04] <Peddy> ikonia: obviously
[03:04] <Peddy> ikonia: it is messing with cups
[03:04] <ikonia> Peddy: ok?  so.
[03:04] <mikedep333> ok
[03:04] <Fezzler> Just installed new IRC chat program.  Are my messages coming thru?
[03:04] <juano__> mac_: some folder in your home dir  eg
[03:04] <ikonia> Fezzler: yes
[03:04] <mikedep333> is there any way to recover as much data as possible from the corrupted tar.gz file?
[03:04] <ikonia> mikedep333: no
[03:05] <Peddy> ikonia: is it safe?
[03:05] <juano__> mac_: lets say eg:  ~/Shared_folder
[03:05] <ikonia> Peddy: what do you mean safe ?
[03:05] <Peddy> ikonia: what exactly does it do?
[03:05] <mac_> yes added
[03:05] <adante> hi

[03:06] <adante> or is there a way to get to the menu from the keyboard?
[03:06] <ikonia> WTF: that nick is unaccaptable.
[03:06] <juano__> mac_: go to general properties and in workgroup type in the same workgroup in the exact case as the workgroup your windows pc is in
[03:06] <WTF> i am having issue installing them on 6.06 LTS server
[03:06] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: I've told you what to do to fix that
[03:06] <WTF> ??why
[03:06] <Watain> Hot_Girl: Create the folder.
[03:06] <juano__> mac_: and check the box: this computer is a wins server
[03:06] <wwjd|||> ok so

[03:07] <Hot_Girl> Watain!!! i did!
[03:07] <snch_rptr> wwjd|||: i think there are several of us waiting in line... or at least waiting :)
[03:07] <wwjd|||> lol
[03:07] <wwjd|||> ok
[03:07] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: I've told you what to do "sudo mkdir /media/FreeAgent" and then mount onto /media/FreeAgent
[03:07] <juano__> mac_: your windows laptop should be part of a workgroup by default, usually MSHOME or something similar, please check in your windows laptop:  right click my pc, properties and check to see what workgroup it is on
[03:08] <Hot_Girl> ty ikonia sorry i'm a dumb_hot_girl

[03:08] <Hot_Girl> hahahaha
[03:08] <juano__> wilo_: you needed help with something earlier ?
[03:08] <Hot_Girl> ikonia: mount: unknown filesystem type 'sbmfs'
[03:08] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: the file system is smbfs
[03:09] <Hot_Girl> i thought i fi changed my name to hot_girl i would get more responses
[03:09] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: that is a silly idea
[03:09] <wwjd|||> and it worked i assume
[03:09] <Hot_Girl> it worked
[03:09] <tumbleweed__> no
[03:09] <tumbleweed__> I'm just baked
[03:09] <tumbleweed__> ;/
[03:09] <Hot_Girl> the error i'm getting is: mount: unknown filesystem type 'sbmfs'
[03:09] <hotter_than_hot_> lol my turn

[03:09] <adante> is there any ubuntu help anywhere which is good?
[03:10] <tumbleweed__> no
[03:10] <CarlFK> adante: yes.
[03:10] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: you are typing sbmfs not smbfs
[03:10] <Glam> help?  it took me 5 hours to install ubuntu and now i'm back at square -1!
[03:10] <tumbleweed__> this simply does not exist
[03:10] <snch_rptr> adante: relax
[03:10] <Hot_Girl> ty IKEAwh0re
[03:10] <ikonia> tumbleweed__: that's not helpful.
[03:10] <Watain> adante: No idea. I'm usually ignored everywhere
[03:10] <dthacker> adante: ask your question, please
[03:10] <adante> CarlFK: i am trying to find out where i can get a list of the default keyboard hotkeys, any idea where i can get this?
[03:10] <tumbleweed__> I'm sorry, my sarcasm gland is acting up
[03:10] <hotter_than_hot_> hello, i am hotter and dumber than hot girl..wiling to trade pics for ATI driver help pm me for more
[03:10] <ikonia> Watain: this is a busy channel, people will get to you.
[03:10] <viper233> adante : Yes... here
[03:10] <_juan> what's wrong Glam?
[03:10] <adante> dthacker: howdy where is a list of the default keyboard hotkeys?
[03:10] <Hot_Girl> hey
[03:11] <Hot_Girl> it worked
[03:11] <Hot_Girl> YAY
[03:11] <mikeaz> hey folks, i just installed ubuntu 7.10, and i had compiz up and running until it asked me to use restricted drivers and i said yes. what should i do to get compiz back?
[03:11] <Glam> i'm getting /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off when i dual boot ubuntu
[03:11] <juano_1> mac_: sorry i got d/c
[03:11] <mac_> cool
[03:11] <Watain> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory if I connect to localhost, but the new directory if I connect to the NAT IP.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though
[03:11] <snch_rptr> oooh! me next. all i want to do is set up a VPN and find a exchange capable mail client...
[03:11] <juano_1> mac_: could you connect as i told you last message ?
[03:11] <Glam> and when i try to boot up vista, i get some bsod for a second and it restarts the laptop
[03:11] <hotter_than_hot_> sorry snch...im next
[03:11] <ikonia> snch_rptr: evolution can connect to exchange.
[03:11] <Lunar_Lamp> hotter_than_hot_, hahaha - you're probably best to just ask your question in the channel mate ;-p
[03:11] <tumbleweed__> I'm willing to trade photographs of my genitals for 10 dollars
[03:11] <_juan> what version and what install method are you using?
[03:11] <mac_> i shared the folder, my windows laptop domain is corp.intuit.net
[03:12] <ikonia> tumbleweed__: stop please. Seriously.
[03:12] <snch_rptr> ikonia: great, do i need to install to set up a vpn?
[03:12] <juano_1> mac_: ok, can you try this:  go to places ---> connect to server... then select windows share , then in server type in your windows laptop pcname
[03:12] <Hot_Girl> thank you ikonia, do you want a nakkid pic of me?
[03:12] <adante> CarlFK, viper233 thanks for your help
[03:12] <tumbleweed__> oh don't worry
[03:12] <_juan> Glam, what version and what install method?
[03:12] <ikonia> snch_rptr: depends on your vpn servers needs
[03:12] <tumbleweed__> my genitals are open source
[03:12] <Watain> mac_: Can you connect with IP? Hit Alt+F2, and type smb://192.168.*.* (Whatever your IP is)
[03:12] <WuGutsyClan> hey I am on a macbook pro running gutsy, and to do things like cut and paste (Ctrl X and Ctrl V) I have to use the control button. How can I switch every function done by the Super button (The one with the apple on it) and the control button
[03:12] <Hot_Girl>  :-/
[03:12] <Glam> livecd and 7.10
[03:13] <Hot_Girl> someone kick tumbleweed
[03:13] <Syco54645> so i still cannot get this new monitor displaying anything that is a widescreen resolution
[03:13] <ikonia> tumbleweed__: PLEASE stop. This is a busy support channel.
[03:13] <viper233> adante : maybe get hotkey-setup - auto-configures laptop hotkeys
[03:13] <_juan> Glam, what speed did you burn it at?
[03:13] <Glam> x4
[03:13] <yo||> so who is in line
[03:13] <snch_rptr> ikonia: hmm. well, it's just a un/pw authenticated gate to my worklace intranet. not sure about the details.
[03:13] <adante> viper233: hm but i don't want to configure them, i just want to know what they are
[03:13] <ikonia> snch_rptr: you'll need the details to know your client options.
[03:13] <Glam> i had the error when i was running the livecd, but then i bypassed it using a solution on the forums
[03:13] <condoulo> I need help with GRUB.
[03:14] <tumbleweed__> that was very rude
[03:14] <Syco54645> this just looks horrible.  i run the auto configure thing for the xserver and it does not fix it.
[03:14] <Glam> and then i followed the instructions installing it
[03:14] <adante> viper233: i understand there is probably a program to do that in the settings menu
[03:14] <nalioth> !tell tumbleweed__ about guidelines
[03:14] <Hot_Girl> okay ikonia: nothing is in the 'freegaent' folder. i must not have mounted it correctly
[03:14] <dthacker> adante: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/user-guide/C/prefs-personal.html#prefs-keyboard-shortcuts
[03:14] <adante> viper233: ironically i can't get to the settings menu because i don't know the hotkey to get to it
[03:14] <yo||> so anyu ATI gurus here
[03:14] <yo||> *any
[03:14] <condoulo> I am currently in a Ubuntu liveCD because I am getting error 17 when booting up
[03:14] <juano_1> mac_: ?
[03:14] <SamsLembas> Hello- When booting up, my computer shows the nVidia splash screen a few times before taking me to the GUI X error message (but the GUI is off to the side of the screen and unusable). My computer worked fine earlier today and I have not done any software updates since then. Is it possible to somehow reset my drivers to their default setting or something?
[03:14] <RenatoSilva> Hi people, I'm building my 1st .DEB package, but I only know how to copy files to the system. To start, I want to know just how to put an icon of my application on the systenm menu. How????
[03:14] <ikonia> Hot_Girl: I'm not going to respond to you unless you stop with the naked picture comments"
[03:14] <_juan> Glam, if you get an erro with the live cd i'd suggest you try the alternate install using the good old TEXT install
[03:15] <nalioth> RenatoSilva: you might wish to try a dev related channel
[03:15] <Glam> but i bypassed it and installed it successfully, and now it will not start up
[03:15] <adante> dthacker: thanks!
[03:15] <yo||> ikoina was that directed at me?
[03:15] <condoulo> anyway want to help me fix a GRUB Issue?! I can't access anything
[03:16] <ikonia> yo||: no, that was for Hot_Girl
[03:16] <Watain> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory if I connect to localhost, but the new directory if I connect to the NAT IP.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though <--- Now it worked but it took more than half n hour to reflect the changes. Anyone know anythinG about this?
[03:16] <ikonia> condoulo: explain your question
[03:16] <cowk-ok-cool-bae> tyujety
[03:16] <ikonia> Watain: clear your firefox cache ?
[03:16] <Watain> ikonia: Did that already
[03:16] <speeddemon8803> Note to users: When in the room it would help us out TREMENDOUSLY if you used the person you are talking to's nickname in the beginning...like speeddemon8803:example text :)
[03:16] <ikonia> Watain: I missed it.
[03:16] <condoulo> ikonia- I am getting an error 17. I tried editing it to boot to my XP drive. It worked first boot, then when re-booting, I can't access any OS now, all I get is Error 17
[03:16] <tumbleweed__> corruptionoflulz : hi
[03:16] <Watain> ikonia: What?
[03:16] <viper233> adante : you got no mouse? Looking the System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts   I don't see a shortcut to this menu.. What menu are you trying to see?
[03:16] <dthacker> Watain: try clearing your cache
[03:16] <yo||> so can anyone help with ati driver issues
[03:17] <_juan> Glam, bypassing an error during install is not a very safe thing to do, you don't know what will run and what will not
[03:17] <Watain> dthacker: I did that, man
[03:17] <Glam> well, it was the solution when i searched on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588
[03:17] <mikeaz> hey folks, i just installed ubuntu 7.10, and i had compiz up and running until it asked me to use restricted drivers and i said yes. what should i do to get compiz back?
[03:18] <snch_rptr> .
[03:18] <mrdinkles> Having trouble installing wireless- I need to remove w/e i put on blacklist-- how do i do this?
[03:18] <juano_1> condoulo: use pastebin and paste sudo fdisk -l , and paste menu.lst located in /boot/grub
[03:18] <Schmick> mikeaz, press ALT-F2 and type compiz --replace
[03:18] <adante> viper233: do not currently have a mouse no, and i did not know how to access the menu from the keyboard, so i could not actually achieve anything - but i know now
[03:18] <RenatoSilva> nalioth: could you point me one?
[03:18] <mikeaz> schmick: i tried that and it has no effect
[03:18] <SamsLembas> Hello- When booting up, my computer shows the nVidia splash screen a few times before taking me to the GUI X error message (but the GUI is off to the side of the screen and unusable). My computer worked fine earlier today and I have not done any software updates since then. Is it possible to somehow reset my drivers to their default setting or something?
[03:19] <nalioth> RenatoSilva: #ubuntu-devel  #ubuntu-motu are a couple of them
[03:19] <Watain> I changed the home directory of my FTP and restarted vsftpd, but my firefox still shows the old directory if I connect to localhost, but the new directory if I connect to the NAT IP.. Why is that? It's showing the right one in lftp though <--- Now it worked but it took more than half n hour to reflect the changes. Anyone know anything about this? ( I DID clear the cache, history and everything)
[03:19] <Schmick> ok... mikeaz, do you get the mesa bug when issuing fglrxinfo?
[03:20] <viper233> adante : ok... what is it? for future reference?
[03:20] <RenatoSilva> nalioth: but these channels are related to developing ubuntu ITSELF, not developing ON IT
[03:20] <ikonia> Watain: when you say NAT ip do you mean the private or public ip
[03:20] <mac_> juano
[03:20] <juano_1> mac_:
[03:20] <mikeaz> schmick: i get no errors when i run fglrxinfo
[03:20] <mac_> i tried
[03:20] <Watain> ikonia: Private
[03:20] <jack-desktop> I'm having trouble with sound - I keep hearing this clicking or tapping or some weird sound in the background when the volume is on
[03:20] <viper233> adante : Alt-F1 .. just saw
[03:20] <mac_> but i dont see any folders there
[03:20] <ikonia> Watain: ok, is it possible your router is caching when you hit the public ?
[03:20] <Glam> and at the same time i can't boot up vista anymore
[03:21] <RenatoSilva> Hi people, I'm building my 1st .DEB package, but I only know how to copy files to the system. To start, I want to know just how to put an icon of my application on the systenm menu. How???? Whinch kind of channel is suitable to this? Is there some #deb-packages or so?
[03:21] <Schmick> ohh... mikeaz, I guess U are using an ATI aren't you?
[03:21] <ikonia> RenatoSilva: nalioth suggested two good channels.
[03:21] <mikeaz> schmick: yessir
[03:21] <dthacker> RenatoSilva: check out the packaging guide
[03:21] <juano_1> mac_: so you can connect to your windows pc with no errors?
[03:21] <Watain> ikonia: I didn't check the public one yet. My issue is with "localhost". It takes forever to update
[03:21] <Schmick> ok.. then we are off-topic.. join me on #ati
[03:21] <mac_> nope, i can't do it still
[03:21] <mrdinkles> Having trouble installing wireless- I need to remove w/e i put on blacklist-- how do i do this?
[03:21] <ikonia> Watain: it just sounds like a caching issue.
[03:21] <mac_> it doesn't connect
[03:22] <ikonia> Watain: try stopping the daemon and connecting with firefox, verify it's not getting a response (as the daemon is dead).
[03:22] <Fink> when i try to open a .rar archive with file roller it says "archive not supported" is there any way to fix this (i tried installing unrar, but to no avail)
[03:22] <juano_1> mac_: emm, ok, waitain suggested earlier another thing , do this:  alt + f2 , then type smb://<windowsip> and hit enter
[03:22] <condoulo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49564/
[03:22] <_juan> Glam, I'm sorry i have no idea on vista, but i still suggest you get a copy of th alternate disk, for booting proiblems, super gub disk is an excellent choice
[03:23] <dthacker> mrdinkles: you put a wireless ethernet connection on what blacklist?
[03:23] <RenatoSilva> ikonia: did you read my comment about these channels? Then what do u think?
[03:23] <Watain> ikonia: Okay, stopped the daemon but it's still accessible at localhost
[03:23] <ikonia> RenatoSilva: I think they are two excellent channels.
[03:23] <Watain> ikonia: Cleared the cache too
[03:23] <Watain> ikonia: The firefox cache, that is..
[03:23] <ikonia> Watain: something is caching it, the question is what
[03:23] <Peddy> can someone please give me the output (so that I can see if anything is wrong with mine) of sudo /usr/sbin/cupsd -f
[03:23] <RenatoSilva> dthacker: I'm trying to find something on the internet but I got only too basic tutorials :(
[03:23] <ikonia> (glad you checked it with the daemon dead)
[03:24] <ikonia> Watain: can you confirm via ps that vsftp is actually dead.
[03:24] <Peddy> the -f option is to show it in the foreground
[03:24] <Watain> ikonia: The vsftpd is dead. I tried to connect with lftp. It's only firefox that think it's still alive
[03:24] <viper233> Glam : can you just boot up and see what paritions are available and then we can edit the grub config from there. Sounds like you've specified the wrong device somewhere.
[03:24] <mrdinkles> dthacker: no, while doing previous installs-- i put some bcm on blacklist-- how can i start all over without reinstalilng, i want to remove all old files-- blacklist clear, modprobes-- no clue what they are but i want to start over
[03:24] <mac_> it says couldn't able to connect to windows  network:
[03:24] <Glam> right now i'm on the livecd
[03:24] <dthacker> RenatoSilva: then you need to consult the channels that ikonia pointed you too, because that is where the help is
[03:24] <ikonia> Watain: at least we know firefox is somehow caching it.
[03:25] <Glam> that's the only thing i can boot from right now
[03:25] <RenatoSilva> ikonia: Ok, you didn't read my comment, tough seems to...
[03:25] <ikonia> RenatoSilva: there are some great guys in there who will take time to advise you.
[03:25] <nalioth> RenatoSilva: the debian new packagers guide is a great place to start on the web
[03:25] <ikonia> RenatoSilva: I read your comments fine, they are mistaken.
[03:25] <wilo_> can someone help me
[03:25] <wilo_> i need help with dependacies
[03:25] <_juan> by the way Glam, what kind of computer do you have?
[03:25] <Watain> ikonia: But i did "clear private data". Anything else I need to do?
[03:25] <Glam> acer 5315 [laptop]
[03:25] <ikonia> Watain: just thinking. I don't use firefox for ftp so I don't know how it behaves.
[03:25] <viper233> Glam : well, what partitions have you got and what bootable partitions are there? you can use fdisk to inspected what partitions there are and what type they are
[03:26] <RenatoSilva> ikonia: hum OK
[03:26] <wilo_> can someone help me?
[03:26] <ikonia> wilo_: what is the problem.
[03:26] <juano_1> condoulo: ok let me check it
[03:26] <Glam> i have dev/sda1,2,3 and 4
[03:26] <viper233> wilo_ : ask away...
[03:26] <_juan> whats wrong wilo_?
[03:26] <speeddemon8803> !ask
[03:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:26] <ikonia> wilo_: as you can see the channel is busy so don't expect a response straight away.
[03:26] <wilo_> viper233,  i cant install any application (7.10 ubuntu)
[03:26] <Glam> 2 is where windows is located, and 4 is where ubuntu is.
[03:26] <wilo_> gcdmaster: Depends: libgconfmm-2.6-1c2 (>= 2.10.0-3) but it is not installab
[03:26] <speeddemon8803> ikonia, do you see how many people are in here?
[03:26] <speeddemon8803> 1074
[03:27] <ikonia> speeddemon8803: yes, why
[03:27] <saxartist> I'm having major sound problems
[03:27] <speeddemon8803> SOMEONE is available :)
[03:27] <Watain> speeddemon8803: 1074
[03:27] <wilo_> i added universal sources to my list, and still cant install anything
[03:27] <dthacker> mrdinkles: I'm not understanding your question, sorry.
[03:27] <RenatoSilva> nalioth: this? http://www.sylence.net/stuff/Debian_Packaging_Manual.pdf
[03:27] <yo||> it burns when i pee
[03:27] <viper233> Glam : do any of them have the boot flag set? * under boot
[03:27] <ikonia> wilo_: it means the dependencies are broke so that package will not install
[03:27] <dthacker> offtopic: yo||
[03:27] <ikonia> yo||: please stop that, you can see the channel is busy.
[03:27] <saxartist> I've been through all the "make alsa work" guides and all that, and run jack, etc.
[03:27] <mrdinkles> dthacker: ok, how can i access my blacklist?
[03:27] <Glam> @viper233 where do i find that at?
[03:27] <viper233> wilo_ : what error message are you getting, any package in particular?
[03:27] <saxartist> rosegarden, noteedit, etc. don't play back at all!
[03:27] <wilo_> ikonia, i cant install anything, amarok, or k3b anything
[03:27] <nalioth> RenatoSilva: no.  the official debian guide is here:  http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/
[03:27] <ikonia> wilo_: ok, thats interesting, what version of ubuntu are you using.
[03:28] <juano_1> condoulo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49566/
[03:28] <dthacker> mrdinkles: that's what I don't understand.  I am not familiar with a blacklist in the wireless ethernet configuration.
[03:28] <wilo_> ikonia, im using 7.10
[03:28] <viper233> Glam : e.g. fdisk /dev/sda, press m for help, then p which will print the partitions and their type.
[03:28] <gerath> hey can anyone help with how to setup my laptop to recive beam files from my hand held in ubuntu..
[03:28] <ikonia> wilo_: would you be able to put your /etc/apt/sources.list file in a pastebin please.
[03:28] <ikonia> gerath: wirless/bluetooth/infrared ?
[03:29] <Glam> @viper233, in the terminal?
[03:29] <gerath> thanks
[03:29] <viper233> wilo_ : sounds like your /etc/apt/source.list file maybe at fault, is it asking for the CD all the time?
[03:29] <mrdinkles> How can i access my blacklist for wireless configuration?
[03:29] <wilo_> ikonia,  http://pastebin.ca/832359
[03:29] <viper233> Glam : yeah, terminal
[03:29] <wilo_> but i fixed up the last line, and put a psca ein there
[03:29] <RenatoSilva> nalioth: thank you
[03:30] <wilo_> a space in there*
[03:30] <arooni> hey ubuntu team!  i have a t61 laptop running gutsy.  when i plug the network cable directly from my cable mode => laptop.... it 'connects' to the laptop.. BUT, i can't ping any server.  additionally, when i plug in the same ethernet cable to my mom's old winxp comp i built for her.... it connects just fine (also with my sisters ibook)..... ideas?
[03:30] <ikonia> wilo_: just looking.
[03:30] <Glam> Viper233: it says no such file or directory
[03:30] <fsckr> i downloaded a game VDrift-2007-03-23-full-2.package how do i install it with that extension?  Ive never seen that extension b4
[03:30] <viper233> Glam : no fdisk ???
[03:30] <dthacker> arooni: is the laptop set to use DHCP?  Do you have a DHCP server?
[03:31] <Glam> viper233, nope.
[03:31] <Glam> i'm on the livecd if it matters
[03:31] <arooni> dthacker, i dont have a dhcp server.... these are connections directly to whatever comes out of a broadband modem
[03:31] <arooni> dthacker, nots ure if dhcp is enabled on the laptop.... how do i check
[03:31] <ikonia> wilo_: first thing is to get rid of this line, unless you want to keep using the cdrom deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted
[03:31] <viper233> Glam : for Gutsy? ..
[03:32] <juano_1> arooni: you are connected directy to ISP modem ?
[03:32] <dthacker> arooni: Network settings
[03:32] <arooni> juano_1, yes
[03:32] <mikedep333> hey ikonia: I found a program that recovers as much data as possible from a corrupt tar.gz archive, it is running now
[03:32] <mikedep333> http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/hacking/gzrt/gzrt.html
[03:32] <Glam> viper233: yes
[03:32] <arooni> should i enable dhcp?  i was on "roaming mode" before for wired connections
[03:32] <juano_1> arooni: is it a dial-up pppoe internet connection ?
[03:32] <wilo_> ikonia, i was using the ;software sources; app. how do i get to the source list in terminal?
[03:32] <ikonia> mikedep333: I doubt you'll get anything uless from it.
[03:32] <viper233> Glam : can you run ls, cat, tar?
[03:33] <arooni> juano_1, no, always on  broadband (by local cable company)
[03:33] <ikonia> wilo_: edit the file with a text editor, and just remove that one line or put a # in front of it.
[03:33] <juano_1> arooni: oh i see
[03:33] <arooni> should i try dhcp?
[03:33] <arooni> instead of wired roaming mode
[03:33] <juano_1> arooni: do what dthacker suggests, network settings and check to see if it is on dhcp yes
[03:33] <Glam> viper233: how do i do that?
[03:33] <wilo_> ikonia,  thats the prob, what is the command to edit the file, i need root privillages
[03:33] <Syco54645> on an lcd monitor how do i smooth out the fonts?  i am having the problem where some vertical lines are thicker than others in fonts
[03:33] <ikonia> wilo_: sudo
[03:34] <ikonia> wilo_: an easy editor is something like "nano" so "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[03:34] <viper233> bintut : next-server is the tftp server that tftp clients will look at by default.
[03:34] <viper233> Glam : open a terminal
[03:34] <Glam> viper233: ok
[03:34] <viper233> Glam:  type ls
[03:35] <Glam> it gives me desktop
[03:35] <viper233> Glam : type top
[03:35] <Glam> viper233: it gives me a lot of stuff
[03:36] <viper233> Glam : press q to quit
[03:36] <snow_> press Ctrl + D to quit
[03:36] <wilo_> ikonia,  done, i "#" it out, now what
[03:36] <viper233> snow_ : q to quit top
[03:36] <Glam> viper233: ok
[03:36] <ikonia> wilo_: sudo apt-get update.
[03:36] <ikonia> wilo_: sudo apt-get update
[03:36] <viper233> Glam : type fdisk
[03:37] <Glam> viper233: ok
[03:37] <wilo_> ikonia,  done,
[03:37] <wilo_> i still cant install amarok
[03:37] <viper233> Glam : it should give you some usage stuff right?
[03:38] <Glam> viper233: yeah, it gives me a couple of things
[03:38] <mac_> hey junao
[03:38] <mac_> u there
[03:38] <juano_1> mac_: yes
[03:38] <mac_> i tried smb://IP
[03:38] <viper233> Glam : cool, now run   fdisk /dev/sda
[03:38] <bullgard4> lshw reports: "*-cpu capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts. Where are these capabilities explained?"
[03:38] <ufarooq> hey everyone
[03:38] <mac_> then it asked me to provide the username, domain and passwd
[03:38] <wilo_> ikonia,  it just wont install anything, nor its dependacies :(
[03:39] <mac_> i did , but still not connecting
[03:39] <snow_> viper233, there is no need to teach me how to quit top
[03:39] <arooni-mobile> juano_1, or dthacker .... so i tried setting the manual configuration up ... and selecting dhcp............  but no dice
[03:39] <arooni-mobile> didnt work ;(
[03:39] <arooni-mobile> any other ideas/
[03:39] <viper233> snow_ : just teaching Glam :)
[03:39] <juano_1> arooni: if that still doesn't work, try this on a terminal : sudo ifconfig , check to see which is your network wired card, eg: eth0, and then sudo dhclient eth0
[03:40] <ikonia> wilo_: I'm just in the middle of a converation withsomeone, I won't be a moment.
[03:40] <Glam> no such file or directory, but if i type /dev/sda4 it says unable to open
[03:40] <ikonia> wilo_: as I said the channel is busy don't expect a result straight away
[03:40] <juano_1> arooni-mobile: please before that check to see that dhcp is enabled or roaming mode
[03:40] <dthacker> arooni-mobile: do what juano_1 says ^^^^^
[03:40] <snurtle> merry xmas people
[03:40] <viper233> Glam : don't specify a partition, specify the disk, /dev/sda so    fdisk /dev/sda
[03:41] <Glam> viper233: no such file or directory
[03:41] <mac_> its eth1

[03:41] <gerath> ikonia : still here
[03:41] <juano_1> wilo_: whats the error message when you open up synaptic ?
[03:41] <wilo_> Cannot install 'amarok'
[03:41] <wilo_> This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'amarok' the conflicting software must be removed first.
[03:41] <wilo_> Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict.

[03:42] <viper233> Glam : but we just ran fdisk and got the usage stuff right? maybe try /dev/hda

[03:42] <juano_1> wilo_: is synaptic still open after that ?
[03:42] <juano_1> wilo_: or does it crash ?
[03:43] <viper233> Glam : sorry, type fdisk /dev/hda
[03:43] <mac_> u mean synaptic package manager, i have installed all samba clients there
[03:43] <juano_1> mac_: that was for wilo_

[03:44] <juano_1> arooni-mobile: try sudo dhcpcd eth0
[03:44] <ari_stress> anyone using pidging with lots of contacts?
[03:45] <bullgard4> What does the letter 'f' stand for in the fdisk command?
[03:45] <viper233> Glam : ok as in it comes up with this line, Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device or okay it says command not found?
[03:45] <Neskaya> ari_stress, yeah?
[03:45] <J_Man> "fixed"
[03:45] <wilo_> juano_1,  its as simple as this, i cannot install anything, if i install through gui, it tells me to go to synaptic, and it tells me i ned the right dependacies, and when  igo to install the right dependacies, it tells me i need more
[03:45] <arooni-mobile> juano_1, damn:  "sudo: dhcpcd: command not found"
[03:45] <squarebracket> i think my remote computer crashed, is there any way i can remotely restart it?
[03:45] <J_Man> hard drives used to be referred to as "fixed disks"
[03:45] <arooni-mobile> it works great on wiresless btw
[03:45] <viper233> Glam : maybe try sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[03:45] <juano_1> wilo_: in synaptic go to preferences ---> repositories
[03:45] <wilo_> juano_1,  if i installed via cli then it tells me i need dependacies, and if i sudo get-apt install (application) it says its "unavailable" or need other dependacies
[03:46] <ari_stress> Neskaya: my pidgin only shows my contact up-to "R" alphabet, why the rest is not shown?
[03:46] <Glam> viper233: it says fdisk [-1] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
[03:46] <juano_1> wilo_: check in ubuntu software to see if you have all 5 enabled boxes
[03:46] <Glam> viper233: command not found
[03:46] <_juan> wilo_ have you tried with sudo aptitude instal ....
[03:46] <Neskaya> ari_stress, dunno.  Mine shows up entirely.
[03:47] <wilo_> juano_1, only 3 were ticked, ill try with all 5
[03:47] <Glam> viper233: would it help if i showed you the printscreen of top?
[03:47] <viper233> Glam : can't find sudo and returns a file not found when running fdisk with arguements?? very strange..
[03:47] <juano_1> wilo_: and please disable all third-party ones
[03:47] <mac_> why $sudo dhclient eth0 is failing, but i can connect to internt
[03:47] <viper233> Glam : no..
[03:47] <Rufus_> what can i type in the terminal to get system information like my current version of ubuntu?
[03:47] <ari_stress> Neskaya: i have about 100 contacts
[03:47] <Neskaya> ari_stress, odd.
[03:47] <wilo_> juano_1,  ok ill disable 3rd party
[03:48] <juano_1> wilo_: after that click CLOSE below and then reload in the main synaptic window
[03:48] <underdaw1> is there a bash command to see memory usage, cpu usage etc?  my pings are not bad and my response time through ssh/vnc is SLOW
[03:48] <viper233> Glam : so when you type    fdisk /dev/sda    in the terminal the next line says file not found? or Unable to open /dev/sda
[03:49] <juano_1> wilo_: if all goes well, then just try to install what you need
[03:49] <Rufus_> anyone?
[03:49] <Glam> viper233: no such file or directory
[03:50] <Glam> viper233: does it make a difference if there is a space after fdisk and /?
[03:50] <juano_1> arooni-mobile: pastebin sudo ifconfig
[03:50] <wilo_> juano_1,  thankyou VERY much
[03:50] <underdaw1> is there a bash command to see memory usage, cpu usage etc?  my pings are not bad and my response time through ssh/vnc is SLOW
[03:50] <_juan> Rufus_ just hit ctrl+alt+f1 to go back hit ctrl+alt+f7
[03:50] <juano_1> wilo_: did that work ?
[03:50] <wilo_> it worked, thankyou soo much juano_1 much appreciated, have a great christmas
[03:50] <viper233> Glam : yes, you will most definitely need a space between fdisk and /dev/sda
[03:50] <juano_1> wilo_: hehe great :) have a great x-mas yourself!
[03:51] <wilo_> juano_1 it allowed me to select amarok, and its downloading now
[03:51] <jxxt>  viper233, What if he does not have an ide disc??
[03:51] <arooni-mobile> juano_1, i really appreciate the offer.. but i only have one ethernet cable, and i'm not sure i'd do an accurate typing job transposing that output to my one pc that does have internet access ;(
[03:51] <Glam> viper233: then it says unable to open /dev/sda
[03:51] <Rufus_> _juan: what do i type in there?
[03:51] <juano_1> wilo_: great, yea it was a dependencies problem, it happens :P
[03:52] <viper233> Glam: cool, that means you don't have /dev/sda , try /dev/hda instead... fdisk /dev/hda    remember the spaces..
[03:52] <_juan> nothing, Rufus_ that will get you out of the hraphical interface and will show you what version you have
[03:52] <qinjuehang> Glam: try ls /dev and see what u get
[03:52] <viper233> jxxt : we don't know what kind of disk Glam has... ;)
[03:53] <juano_1> arooni-mobile: you sure your doing sudo dhclient ethX  where X is the wired one right ?
[03:53] <qinjuehang> viper233:ask him to open his box :D
[03:53] <jxxt>  viper233, That is not helpful :(
[03:53] <Glam> viper233: you will not be able to write the partition table
[03:53] <Glam> and then a whole lot of other stuff after than
[03:53] <Glam> *that
[03:54] <viper233> Glam : cool Everyone he has /dev/hda!!!!!!!!!
[03:54] <viper233> sorry.. she/he ...
[03:54] <qinjuehang> :O
[03:54] <Rufus_> isnt there something to type in terminal to get all kinds of sytem info?
[03:54] <Glam> i guess that's good news?
[03:54] <J_Man> what kind of info you want Rufus?
[03:54] <qinjuehang> Glam:what prog are u using to write partitions?
[03:54] <viper233> Glam : at the terminal type this    sudo fdisk /dev/hda
[03:54] <Rufus_> j_man, ubuntu version, all that stuff
[03:54] <renyi> D
[03:54] <snow_> please stop ubuntu
[03:54] <Rufus_> ctrl+alt+f1 is messed up
[03:54] <wilo_> juano_1, thankyou none the less, i just couldn't get it, i love ubuntu and now its working again, ill love it evern more :)
[03:55] <Glam> viper233: ok
[03:55] <_juan> Rufus_ messed up?
[03:55] <J_Man> well, there's different commands that will tell you all kinds of different things
[03:55] <Rufus_> _juan, yes
[03:55] <viper233> qinjuehang : has partitions written, just has grub setup incorrectly... need to know which partition is boot etc...
[03:55] <Rufus_> graphical glitch
[03:55] <sn00zer> does anyone here use piratebay?
[03:55] <viper233> Glam : type p, press enter
[03:55] <Glam> viper233: ok
[03:56] <juano_1> wilo_: your welcome, hope you enjoy your ubuntu :) and feel free to ask anytime
[03:56] <viper233> Glam : what appears? use http://pastebin.com/ to paste much output
[03:56] <Glam> viper233: it says you may change all the disk params from the x menu
[03:57] <qinjuehang> sn00zer: I doi a bit
[03:57] <qinjuehang> *do
[03:57] <_juan> sn00zer all the time
[03:57] <doctormo> my usplash is always black, how can i get usplash to appear?
[03:57] <viper233> Glam : there should be a partition with an '*' next to it under the boot heading
[03:57] <Fink> merry xmas
[03:57] <qinjuehang> doctormo: try refreshing it
[03:57] <sn00zer> did something happen to their site? i'm getting an internal server error 500
[03:57] <doctormo> qinjuehang: explain
[03:58] <qinjuehang> doctormo: Let me try to remember the command
[03:58] <Glam> viper233: i don't understand
[03:58] <mrdinkles> using gutsy, and attempting  to install bcmwlf with windows wireless drivers-- Says unable to see if hardware is present? any ideas
[03:58] <underdaw1> is there a bash command to see memory usage, cpu usage etc?  my pings are not bad and my response time through ssh/vnc is SLOW
[03:58] <khaotik> what it is
[03:58] <sn00zer> my connection is alittle sluggish and i was wondering if its the site since its internal server error, or something wrong on my end
[03:59] <qinjuehang> underdaw: try "top"
[03:59] <dthacker> underdaw1: top
[03:59] <_juan> sn00zer, im also getting the same error
[03:59] <Mr_Sonoma> if i wanted to format a disk into NTFS format what command would i use?
[03:59] <doctormo> dthacker: hey there
[03:59] <viper233> Glam : so you've just typed    sudo fdisk /dev/hda  . You are now in the fdisk program, type p and then press enter, you will get a list of your partitions and one of them should have an '*' next to it
[03:59] <sn00zer> ok, thanks for checking
[03:59] <dthacker> doctormo: hi doc!
[03:59] <qinjuehang> doctormo: try  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`" i guess
[04:00] <qinjuehang> might take half a min
[04:00] <mrdinkles> using gutsy, and attempting  to install bcmwlf with windows wireless drivers-- Says unable to see if hardware is present? any ideas
[04:01] <Glam> viper233: nope i don't have anything except you may change...
[04:01] <Mr_Sonoma> !patience | mrdinkles
[04:01] <ubotu> mrdinkles: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:01] <viper233> Glam : can you give us a screen shot?
[04:01] <Glam> sure
[04:01] <Niko-formerlyEag> how come when I did an upgrade in ubuntu 7.10 in update manager my wireless disappeared all together?
[04:01] <scguy318> mrdinkles: what does ndiswrapper -l say?
[04:02] <Niko-formerlyEag> it doesn't even seem to recognize my wireless card anymore
[04:02] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: DId u check if u accidentally uninstalled the package?
[04:02] <Niko-formerlyEag> don't think so
[04:02] <_juan> Rufus_ you still there?
[04:02] <Niko-formerlyEag> I don't even know the package name
[04:02] <Pulshion> hows anyone know how to uninstall compiled mplayer. In synaptic i completely removed it but it still works
[04:02] <Niko-formerlyEag> it worked immediately when I install 7.10
[04:02] <viper233> Glam : tell me where you post it..
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> I really don't have hours to try to figure it out because I have to leave tomorrow morning and won't be able to fix it
[04:03] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: do u have the windows ddriver for it?
[04:03] <Glam> viper233: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k67/QueenHawkeye/Screenshot-1.png
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> I'm trying to setup linux for my parents
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> linux provides a driver for it
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> I don't need to use the windows driver
[04:03] <mrdinkles> scguy318: Warning-- ignoring line... with black-- bcmlwf5 installed-
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> I just don't understand why an upgrade would break it completely
[04:03] <Pulshion> hows anyone know how to uninstall compiled mplayer. In synaptic i completely removed it but it still works
[04:03] <umer> i need help with bluetooth, i cant seem to browse my phone, it says "couldnt display obex" and to "check if service is available" any ideas?
[04:03] <Niko-formerlyEag> and it'd be nice to have an easy way to fix it without spending 2 hours recompiling the kernel
[04:04] <soldats> Pulshion, sudo apt-get remove mplayer
[04:04] <mrdinkles> scguy318: how can i take off the black list-- that might be causing problems-- its shows driver installed but then a ignoring line 27
[04:04] <kyu_flux> back in my day, we recompiled the kernel every other week
[04:04] <qinjuehang> oh and try apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome network-admin wireless-tools
[04:04] <viper233> Glam : see http://pastebin.com/d2a4dca31 for what I have typed
[04:04] <kyu_flux> of course i'm lazy now, and I was never really a heavy linux user in the first place, but, eh...
[04:04] <Pulshion> soldats. it doesnt exist
[04:04] <Aaron_Mason> Hey all, is anybody with an SiS900 embedded controller having trouble with TCP traffic taking ages to connect?
[04:05] <_juan> Pulshion didi you compile it yourself?
[04:05] <Aaron_Mason> and ubuntu 7.10
[04:05] <Hot_Girl> hello everyone
[04:05] <Pulshion> _juan yes
[04:05] <Aaron_Mason> hi
[04:05] <Hot_Girl> i need an FTP program for Ubuntu please
[04:05] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: try apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome network-admin wireless-tools
[04:05] <Hot_Girl> i need an FTP program for Ubuntu please
[04:05] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, those are already installed
[04:05] <Niko-formerlyEag> I just checked
[04:05] <soldats> Pulshion, hmm so if it was uninstalled i wonder why it still works
[04:05] <scguy318> mrdinkles: black list?
[04:05] <_juan> Pulshion, hang on a bit
[04:05] <jxxt> glam, it is on /dev/hda3
[04:06] <Pulshion> soldats, cause i compiled it myself
[04:06] <Niko-formerlyEag> and I can't download anything without phyiscally moving the computer into a different room...something i don't have time for
[04:06] <Niko-formerlyEag> it looks like I'll have to leave this computer inoperative for my parents until I come back here in 2 years
[04:06] <soldats> Pulshion, delete the dir where its installed, the README.txt should say how to uninstall it
[04:06] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag try sudo netowrk-admin in the Terminal
[04:06] <mrdinkles> scguy318: how can i show you what it says without posting it on here
[04:06] <qinjuehang> sudo network-admin
[04:07] <scguy318> !pastebin | mrdinkles
[04:07] <ubotu> mrdinkles: 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)
[04:07] <mrdinkles> scguy318: using that bot to tell me doesnt help, i dont know what that is
[04:07] <Pulshion> soldats if i could find the directory
[04:07] <soldats> ~/.mplayer
[04:07] <Hot_Girl> hello everyone
[04:07] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, did...it doesn't list my wireless connection anymore...just modem and wired
[04:07] <soldats> hello
[04:07] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, wireless disappeared when I ran update manager and installed all the updates...I'm guessing it's because of a kernel update
[04:07] <Glam> viper233: i don't have the boot part, instead of boot i have flag and a u next to hda2
[04:07] <viper233> Glam: thanks... doesn't look like you have any partitions on that drive..
[04:07] <_juan> can you sudo make remove mplayer?
[04:07] <Soskel> can someone please verify? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/webtechmedia.net-release
[04:07] <Pulshion> soldats, yea i deleted that directory
[04:07] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag:what wireless device are u using?
[04:08] <Hot_Girl> i need an FTP program for Ubuntu
[04:08] <soldats> Pulshion, look at _juan s post
[04:08] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, it's a linksys pci adapter
[04:08] <J_Man> try gftp
[04:08] <scguy318> mrdinkles: pastebin is a place to show me your text?
[04:08] <Pulshion> soldats, i dont think thats where it was installed
[04:08] <Aaron_Mason> Hot_Girl, like WSFTP?
[04:08] <mrdinkles> scguy318: i posted
[04:08] <J_Man> probably the best gui ftp client I know of
[04:08] <_juan> Pulshion and then make clean
[04:08] <J_Man> for linux, anyway
[04:08] <scguy318> mrdinkles: linky?
[04:08] <viper233> Glam : show me output again... pastebin or photo bucket
[04:08] <Pulshion> make: *** No rule to make target `remove'.  Stop.
[04:08] <Hot_Girl> yes Aaron_Mason, like WS_FTP
[04:08] <mrdinkles> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49567/
[04:09] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: It used to work?
[04:09] <jxxt> mrdinkles, I know what you are talking about because it happened to me. I googled a lot and found a way to whitelist the bcm but it still did not work for me
[04:09] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, when I first installed ubuntu 7.10 this afternoon, wireless worked fine
[04:09] <scguy318> mrdinkles: ty, gimme a sec
[04:09] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, I ran update manager afterwards to install all the updates, and rebooted and wireless was gone
[04:09] <J_Man> bcm driver is somewhat flaky - you have to get the right firmware
[04:09] <Glam> viper233: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k67/QueenHawkeye/Screenshot-2.png
[04:09] <J_Man> and it still has a transmit power problem with some broadcom chipsets
[04:09] <_juan> Pulshion, go to the mplayer source directoery
[04:09] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, I'm guessing some idiot in ubuntu forgot to put thte module in the newest kernel
[04:10] <Aaron_Mason> argh.. I'm trying to connect to port 21 of my laptop from my machine which is connected directly to the switch and it won't connect :/
[04:10] <J_Man> I always drop it in favor of using ndiswrapper
[04:10] <Pulshion> _juan do u know where its at
[04:10] <mikeaz> :-( my newly installed ubuntu is giving me hell
[04:10] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: Let me see...did you load your wireless module?
[04:10] <scguy318> mrdinkles: pastebin your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:10] <jxxt> mrdinkles, There is some fairly extensive stuff on this subject in Ubuntu forums...
[04:10] <scguy318> mrdinkles: you probably typoed something in there
[04:10] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, no...that's what I'm getting ready to do right now once I find it
[04:11] <_juan> Pulshion,  where did you untar the source file?
[04:11] <Pulshion> home
[04:12] <wilo_> juano_1, do you have time for another quick question?
[04:12] <_juan> Pulshion, then that's where it's at
[04:13] <_juan> Pulshion, did you find it?
[04:13] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, for some reason the device isn't even listed in lspci
[04:13] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: What is the model of your device
[04:13] <Niko-formerlyEag> I'm thinking maybe it's not seated all the way in the pci slot for some reason
[04:14] <Pulshion> _juan no, there is only .mplayer, but its probably a left over from when i uninstalled using synaptic
[04:14] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: several linysys cards are blacklisted
[04:14] <Pulshion> and i do the command u gave me it gives the same output
[04:14] <scguy318> mrdinkles: Texas, eh? happens to be where I am too :)
[04:14] <scguy318> mrdinkles: any questions?
[04:14] <_juan> Pulshion type: whereis mplayer or which mplayer
[04:15] <soldats> in a terminal^^
[04:15] <Pulshion> mplayer: /etc/mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/etc/mplayer /usr/share/mplayer
[04:15] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: Whats your wireless care's model number?
[04:16] <Fezzler> I ahve an old DOS computer connected to serial port COM1 on my Ubuntu PC (ttyS0), I want to send type to my UB PC, what program can capture info incoming from ttyS0 (Com1)?
[04:16] <viper233> Glam : Well that could be your problem regarding the error 17 you get when trying to boot linux. No bootable partition...
[04:16] <squarebracket> is there a way to ping a specific computer behind a router?
[04:16] <_juan> Pulshion, ir order to use the make remoe command you have to be in the source folder
[04:16] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, WMP54G
[04:16] <viper233> Glam : I don't know what the u flag means, I'll look it up..
[04:16] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, I just opened the computer and it looks like my dad pulled it out of it's slot on accident...so it should work now
[04:16] <Glam> viper233: ok, is there any possible way to fix it?
[04:16] <Pulshion> which one out of 4?
[04:16] <Niko-formerlyEag> qinjuehang, thanks for your help
[04:17] <PSPJunkie> Does anyone own a "My Book" external hdd?
[04:17] <_juan> Pulshion, did you delete it? none of them
[04:17] <scguy318> PSPJunkie: I know someone who does
[04:17] <viper233> Glam : re install??? did you have another OS on that disk?
[04:17] <Pulshion> no, then why does it start and play movies lol
[04:17] <PSPJunkie> Is it possible to partition it and put an OS on it?
[04:17] <scguy318> PSPJunkie: yes, its just like any old external HDD
[04:17] <PSPJunkie> Cool, thanks
[04:17] <qinjuehang> Niko-formerlyEag: :D Your wireless USED to be blacklisted, in fact
[04:18] <_juan> look in your home directory for a folder named mplayer
[04:18] <_juan> Rufus, that has the make remove parameters
[04:18] <Pulshion> _juan nothing is there
[04:19] <_juan> then look for it in your trash folder
[04:19] <mrdinkles> scguy318: had to go to the restroom-- okay, checking on the blacklist
[04:19] <Glam> viper233: yeah i had it dual booting vista
[04:20] <viper233> Glam : re install is probably the easiest option for you.. it is possible to being things back.. you would want to create a boot partition, install the kernel image, grub again on the installed system, I would do that by chrooting into the install and going at it from there... then re installing grub.. kinda easier to re install
[04:20] <netdur> ubuntu sometimes just shut down by its own
[04:20] <WindowSmasher> !flash
[04:20] <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
[04:20] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[04:20] <qinjuehang> Glam : If u want to reinstall, I suppose u should make a seperate partition for home
[04:21] <Creed> Can anyone running OpenWRT help me out a bit?
[04:21] <MasterShrek> netdur, is it overheating by chance?
[04:21] <Pulshion> _juan its not there
[04:21] <netdur> MasterShrek: how do I know?
[04:21] <MasterShrek> Creed, i run dd-wrt, but this is offtopic, if u think i can help you join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:21] <qinjuehang> netdur: I suppose u have a laptop (Thinkpad?)
[04:21] <netdur> desktop
[04:21] <Glam> viper233: is there any other options besides reinstalling?  reinstalling is my last solution
[04:21] <_juan> Pulshion, what you can do is recompìle mplayer from source and then deleting it
[04:21] <qinjuehang> netdur: Thats unusual to overheat...
[04:22] <Pulshion> ok, ill try that, thanx
[04:22] <MasterShrek> netdur, your bios should have sensors
[04:22] <_juan> Pulshion, it's the VERY long way around
[04:22] <qinjuehang> netdur: Put your hand behind your computer to see if the fan is working
[04:22] <viper233> Glam : /dev/hda3 is an extended partition which contains your windows drives and logical partitions...
[04:22] <qinjuehang> netdur: easiest method
[04:22] <netdur> I can hear it
[04:22] <nickrud> ping ronaldo
[04:22] <viper233> Glam : re install is your easiest option, do you have any data on your linux partition?
[04:22] <Pulshion> _juan better than nothing
[04:23] <Glam> /viper233 no
[04:23] <mrdinkles> scguy318: how do i get permission into my blacklist
[04:23] <MasterShrek> netdur, is the processor fan working?
[04:23] <Fezzler> Is there a basic Term program with Ubuntu that will display ascii text arriving via ttyS0 (COM1)?
[04:23] <netdur> qinjuehang: I have one fan right on processor
[04:23] <_juan> but reemember you have to be in the source directory in order to make remove, Pulshion
[04:23] <netdur> MasterShrek: yes
[04:23] <Pulshion> ok, thanx
[04:23] <nickrud> Fezzler, minicom
[04:23] <viper233> Glam : so you can lose right? but you want to keep your Vista right?
[04:23] <qinjuehang> netdur: Are all your power cables well connected? and bent pins?
[04:23] <Hot_Girl> lol
[04:23] <Hot_Girl> power cables
[04:23] <Hot_Girl> silly geese
[04:24] <mrdinkles> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49568/
[04:24] <qinjuehang> Hot_Girl: :O
[04:24] <Glam> viper233: that is correct
[04:24] <netdur> qinjuehang: all ok, this never happened with prev. ubuntu install
[04:24] <Synx_hm> Whats a good way to rip rar dvd's to the HD?  dvd::rip?  I just want to rip some of my movies to the hd for later viewing without the disk, i would like to preserve their orig quality and all the menus etc
[04:24] <laoen> hello!! can someone give me some irc channels about network?
[04:25] <laoen> or topics about network?
[04:25] <MasterShrek> !dvd | Synx_hm
[04:25] <ubotu> Synx_hm: 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
[04:25] <scguy318> mrdinkles: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:25] <Synx_hm> thank you sir
[04:25] <qinjuehang> netdur: Try looking at yoru system log.
[04:25] <qinjuehang> In System>admin
[04:25] <laoen> hello!! can someone give me some irc channels about network?
[04:26] <scguy318> mrdinkles: prefix a command with sudo (for CLI apps) or gksudo (for GUI apps) to run it with root privs
[04:26] <iiping> lo
[04:26] <viper233> Okay.. so you can re install.. delete partiton hda1 and hda2 as they are linux partions, manually create a /boot (maybe /home) / (this is called the root partition, as in root of a tree, not root user) and swap partition, Vista be and be back into linux in less than an hour !
[04:26] <buttercups> Synx_hm, try vobcopy, vobcopy -m will copy the entire dvd to hard drive
[04:27] <viper233> Glam : /boot only needs to be 150MB
[04:27] <viper233> Glam : swap 1GB
[04:27] <mrdinkles> scguy318: when i open with gedit, i cant see anything within the file
[04:27] <laoen>  can someone give me some irc channels about network?
[04:27] <viper233> Glam : / 10GB or the remainder of the disk
[04:28] <Glam> viper233: ok, can you tell me how i can go about doing that?
[04:28] <mrdinkles> scguy318: ima just log in as root
[04:29] <viper233> Glam : you can do it straight away, seeing you are using the liveCD/install CD. Double click on the install icon on the desktop
[04:29] <iiping> does any1 know here how to program icmp response
[04:29]  * viper233 find screen shots for Gutsy install
[04:31] <mrdinkles> scguy318: nvm, i dont know how to log in as root lmao
[04:31]  * viper233 nothing yet ....
[04:31] <Chemicalvamp> I need to boot a CD image extracted to a USB flash drive. how do i tell grub to boot it? same as a windows partition?
[04:31] <iiping> is there a utility on ubuntu to program the response on ping
[04:32] <viper233> Glam : okay.. we are starting at Step 4 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-7-10-68645.shtml
[04:32] <Glam> viper233: ok
[04:33] <Cam-> chemicalvamp: i dont thin kits possible to boot directly to an iso, but you could burn the iso to a partition and i think you can boot from that?
[04:33] <viper233> Glam : at the Hard disk partitioning
[04:33] <qinjuehang> Glam: You might want to try Wubi if you are really for it, and have little experiance with other OSes
[04:33] <nickrud> iiping, oidentd , midentd , gidentd , ident2 are some options
[04:33] <viper233> Glam : ... sections, we'll go with option 3
[04:33] <Schmick> mrdinkles, sudo is a command to run any program as root... just type sudo followed by the name of the program.. it'll ask you for YOUR password, then it'll execute it.
[04:33] <viper233> Glam : manaully creating the partitions
[04:33] <chetnick> iiping i thnik you should set that up in /etc/sysctl.conf
[04:34] <Glam> ok
[04:34] <Aaron_Mason> is there a command line copy utility that provides a status indicator?
[04:34] <Peddy> Can someone please help me? eye-of-gnome (the default image viewer) and evince aren't able to print.
[04:34] <Chemicalvamp> Cam- an extracted iso of a bootable cd
[04:34] <Peddy> The print button is greyed out
[04:35] <Schmick> Aaron_Mason, what sort of status?
[04:35] <qinjuehang> Aaron_Mason: u mean CPU?
[04:35] <chetnick> Aaron_Mason cp -v
[04:35] <Soskel> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/webtechmedia.net-release  someone please verify
[04:35] <Aaron_Mason> nah, like progress, telling you what the file's up to
[04:35] <viper233> Glam : .. no screen shots  :(  go to this site ... http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu_gutsy_gibbon
[04:36] <Schmick> lol.. chetnick got the idea.. Aaron_Mason, follow chetnick's answer.
[04:36] <Cam-> chemicalvamp: im not -sure- this will work someone else should be able to help you but, if you dd the iso to a spair HD, then you should be able to boot from that
[04:36] <Pulshion> _juan u there?
[04:36] <Aaron_Mason> i meant a progress indicator
[04:36] <Glam> viper233: ok
[04:36] <qinjuehang> viper233: Its almost impossible to screenshot gutsy gibbon installing, it doean't work in many virtualizartions :P
[04:36] <Cam-> chemicalvamp: ive heard of it working before.
[04:37] <Chemicalvamp> Cam- if i did that.. what do i have grub boot? like a standard windows boot?
[04:37] <Aaron_Mason> i suppose I could dd the file in the background and then do periodic kill -USR1 on the process
[04:37] <viper233> qinjuehang : yeah.. it's a pain...
[04:37] <iiping> nickrud, chetnick : thanks for the response
[04:38] <Cam-> you should then be able to setup grub to pass boot to that HD
[04:38] <Cam-> yes
[04:38] <viper233> Glam : screen shot of where you are upto please...
[04:38] <Glam> viper233: ok
[04:38] <Cam-> chemicalvamp: what kind of iso are you trying to boot to though
[04:38] <scguy318> !root | mrdinkles
[04:38] <ubotu> mrdinkles: 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
[04:39] <J_Man> or just do sudo passwd root
[04:39] <J_Man> and stop worrying about it :)
[04:39] <Aaron_Mason> got it
[04:39] <Chemicalvamp> Cam- doesnt matter they all boot the same
[04:39] <Aaron_Mason> oh joy... join/part flooders
[04:39] <Aaron_Mason> n00bs
[04:39] <soldats> wowzerz^^^^^^
[04:40] <J_Man> the opers are on the job :)
[04:40] <RedHeron> Yes, yes they are.
[04:40] <RedHeron> Good to see!
[04:41] <qinjuehang> I bet irc.swiftirc.net will be empty after this
[04:41] <Aaron_Mason> lol
[04:41] <RedHeron> LOL
[04:41] <qinjuehang> :D
[04:41] <RedHeron> Could also be that they're trying to get their enemies in trouble.
[04:42]  * RedHeron has seen that in DC.
[04:42] <soldats> maybe they will
[04:42] <AHA> irc.swiftirc.net is mainly runscape related
[04:42] <RedHeron> Ah.
[04:42] <viper233> Glam : waiting for a screenshot of where you upto?

[04:45] <qinjuehang> Glam: 2 more partitions, SWAP and ext3 with home as mountpointg
[04:45] <viper233> Glam : What hard drives do you have in your machine? one ide and one sata?
[04:46] <Glam> viper233: i'm not sure, i had this other problem earlier today so i went to the bios and changed the setting to ide
[04:47] <Glam> viper233: but i'm pretty sure i have sata too
[04:47] <viper233> Glam : how many disks are in the machine?
[04:47] <viper233> Glam : What motherboard?
[04:47] <Glam> viper233: it's an acer 5315
[04:48] <belarm> I've got a recurring problem with grub i'd like to resolve: adding new hard drives causes the hd id grub searches to become invalid. booting off a cd to fix it requires some guesswork, as i have to unplug an IDE drive to do so. is there a more elegant solution?
[04:48] <qinjuehang> My ides are recognized as sata, and they mount, unmount and work perfectly.
[04:49] <fiXXXerMet> Where can I configure the "Boot off-board chipsets first support" option?
[04:50] <snurtle> where is the GRUB located?
[04:50] <viper233> Glam : so it's one of these... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ACER-5315-ASPIRE-NEAR-NEW-1-MONTH-OLD-INCLUDES-CASE_W0QQitemZ220186277615QQihZ012QQcategoryZ16159QQcmdZViewItem   looking for a better description

[04:52] <belarm> it's on the first sata drive on the on-board sata controller
[04:53] <ari_stress> asshole: it's netbios name = blabla in smb.conf
[04:53] <sid> What is a good DVDSHrink like software, for Ubuntu?

[04:53] <sid> J_Man: I don't want to use wine
[04:54] <belarm> 4 IDE, 4 SATA, and just one install of ubuntu (7.10 server i386)

[04:55] <belarm> unfortunately, i add & remove hard drives frequently, and can't (permanently) use the MBR of IDE0, as I'm looking to phase all the IDEs out for SATA shortly

[04:56] <kyu_flux> this is the 2nd time this has happened to me - I can't get apps to start in gnome unless I log out and log back in... any ideas?
[04:57] <belarm> did your IP/hostname change, kyu_flux?
[04:57] <ari_stress> asshole: add a line like this in smb.conf: netbios name = mysuperlaptop
[04:57] <kyu_flux> belarm: yeah...!
[04:57] <snurtle>  belarm is there 1 harddrive that you keep permanently
[04:57] <ari_stress> asshole: it will show your laptop as 'mysuperlaptop' in network

[04:59] <inzoy> hello guys
[04:59] <inzoy> i need some help
[04:59] <belarm> kyu_flux, I used to have that issue; not sure what the resolution is.
[04:59] <bluefoxx_> so, my computer froze while i was using it earlier, i rebooted, and then it dies during starting the X server, i remove a bunch of devices down to bare bones, and only managed to access gnome desktop by booting into recovery mode, logging on root, su-logging on myself then sudo startx. my SATA is gone, USB gone, serial and paralell gone, only using a wired keyboard[thank god i kan do it all from kbd], and its xmas, so stores are closed
[04:59] <bluefoxx_> anyone got an idea as to my problem?
[04:59] <bluefoxx_> i think my mobo's south-bridge is going, or the CPU
[04:59] <kyu_flux> belarm: ahh... well thanks for the lead - didn't realize that it was so sensitive to changing the IP/hostname =)
[05:00] <belarm> using the network manager to change your IP may provide some relief; but I can't speak with authority on that.
[05:00] <inzoy> i've got a relatively old laptop with no harddrive in it and i'm trying to make it work from a live cd as a wireless access point that will share my internet connection.
[05:00] <snurtle> belarm, why dont you make a partition on SATA 0 and put GRUB there
[05:01] <belarm> snurtle, the problem ATM seems to be that when I plug drives into my PCI SATA controller, they end up at what would seem to be sda & sdb, pushing back the ones plugged into the onboard (& superior) controller.
[05:01] <inzoy> any ideas?
[05:01] <asshole> ari_stress: Okay, I tried that but it shows up the netbios name within brackets.. So since I have the server string already.. It shows up twice..
[05:01] <unagi> sometimes when im listening to internet radio, firefox crashes and i lose sound until i restart, how can i get sound back without restarting
[05:01] <viper233> Glam : the changes you made in the bios may have caused issues with Vista.. It's wierd that when you did an fdisk it showed a linux, swap and extended partition and now in the partition selection it shows 3 windows (ntfs) partitions and only one linux partition...
[05:02] <belarm> and /boot is on the same drive upon which grub is installed to the MBR; is that what you meant?
[05:02] <danzigrules> danroj: that is nice
[05:02] <snurtle> are these drives the same?i.e. maybe there trying to RAID themselves??
[05:02] <bluefoxx_> so can anyone tell me what might be wrong with my computer?
[05:02] <belarm> (::sniff:: sometimes i actually miss LILO)
[05:02] <inzoy> tried a couple of stuff, but due to the fact that it has no hdd it is nearly impossible.. using some ways i've found on the web
[05:02] <snurtle> thats directed towards belarm sorry
[05:02] <unagi> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.
[05:02] <unagi> what does that mean
[05:03] <Glam> viper233: the only bios change i made besides making the dvd/cd boot first is that i changed the sata hdd from ahci to ide
[05:03] <danroj> tanks danzigrules
[05:03] <ari_stress> asshole: maybe you can turn off the server string off?
[05:03] <viper233> Glam : it's not that anything is lost.. it's just that it's not accessable..
[05:03] <belarm> snurtle, there's no RAID going on; the PCI controller is a software RAID card, but the disks are in JBOD mode
[05:03] <Glam> viper233: oh
[05:03] <asshole> ari_stress: If I turn off the server string, then it shows up in the network as "Samba 3.0.26a (Laptop)"
[05:04] <y> Here's something odd. Fdisk shows /dev/sda1 and yet there is no sda1 within /dev/
[05:04] <belarm> (which worked in my old config: 8xIDE, 2xSATA, grub on hda)
[05:04] <y> on startup I get lots of hard disk errors
[05:04] <viper233> Glam : it will change it from being /dev/sda to /dev/hda...
[05:04] <inzoy> do you know of any distro ubuntu-based , or not .. that can do this job without installing any extra things?
[05:04] <undos> what if I move /* to /dev/null P
[05:04] <dessnr> y:  you may need a new hard disk...
[05:04] <undos> ?
[05:05] <Glam> viper233: is there anyway i can fix that?
[05:05] <y> dessnr I hope not!
[05:05] <dessnr> y: or perhaps map out the bad blocks...
[05:05] <inzoy> (ubuntu-based preferred cause its the only one that can use my wireless card without any special drivers.. right out of the box
[05:05] <y> dessnr.... tough thing to debug without a proper device locale =(
[05:05] <y> have you heard of this before or are you guessing?
[05:05] <inflex> hiya folks - trying to help my father here who's running Ubuntu - but he's behind a NAT (ISP does the NAT'ing, so no port-forwarding, sorry) and I want to SSH into his machine
[05:05] <inzoy> can i have some attention please?
[05:06] <inflex> any suggestions?  Since obviously running openSSH on his Ubuntu box won't achieve anything for us
[05:06] <dessnr> y:  i had that problem...  i ended up using a startup cd with disk repairing utilities to map the bad blocks out.
[05:06] <y> dessnr I thought I tried that to no avail.
[05:06] <y> KNOPPIX sees it all fine!
[05:06] <y> and can even scan through files.
[05:06] <undos> inzion: what are you looking for?
[05:07] <inzoy> inflex, install ssh and change the port .. (?)
[05:07] <inzoy> i'm trying to make a wireless router out of an old laptop
[05:07] <belarm> I can use the cdrom to fix this again, i just wish the method by which grub identified drives were a little more...to my understanding, i suppose :-)
[05:07] <inzoy> with no hdd
[05:07] <dessnr> y:  strange.  knoppix didn't like my drive until i marked the bad blocks out.  does it have a specific driver for the HD in ubuntu, or is it generic?
[05:07] <oddworld> how do you change the volume icon when i push the "volume up" on my dell?
[05:08] <Thornsberry> Can someone help me change the permission of files through the terminal?
[05:08] <y> dessnr, worked fine before. but I'm honestly not sure.
[05:08] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry: man chmod
[05:08] <gouki> Anyone runs an open-arena server?
[05:08] <Thornsberry> kakarooto: How do you use it?  I'm still new to Linux, I've had it for a few days.
[05:08] <Kakarotto> what kind of permissions are you trying to give ?
[05:08] <viper233> Glam : too hard over irc... I'm guessing you really want to get back to you Vista setup. What it partitioned into three drives? You can maybe re install to /dev/sda4 as the / partition, do without a swap and just try and get it to boot... does grub come up at all? if you just get error 17 and no OS selection maybe you need to roll back the ide/ahci changes in the bios
[05:09] <belarm> Thornsberry, "man <commandname>" gives instructions on using that command.
[05:09] <dessnr> y: have you tried some of the utilities on "Hiren's Boot CD"?  Thats what I used and it did wonders.  There is even a HD repair utility that reverses the palarity of the blocks.  my drive works as good as new.
[05:09] <Thornsberry> Kakarotto: Well I was making folders and moving things through the terminal and I guess I was the superuser and now I can't even open the folders I just made.
[05:09] <asshole> ari_stress: If I turn off the server string, then it shows up in the network as "Samba 3.0.26a (Laptop)"
[05:09] <viper233> Glam : best option would be to call on your linux friend and bribe them to come and have a look at things
[05:09] <y> wow.
[05:10] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry: thats a typical problem when you're new. What you make as root remains root-only
[05:10] <Hot_Girl> yes, that would be your best option. i think
[05:10] <oddworld> how do you change the volume icon when i push the "volume up" on my dell?
[05:10] <MasterShrek> asshole, please change your nick
[05:10] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry: now you have to change the owner to your normal username
[05:10] <Glam> viper233: grub does come up, it's just that i can't get into either ubuntu or vista
[05:10] <belarm> Thornsberry, in that case, you probably want chown; change back to the superuser, and do a chown <username> <file>; chown -R <username> <directory> to do a directory and its contents
[05:10] <Thornsberry> Kakarotto: Well how can I get the files back out?  I tried using the mv command but I couldn't get them back out of the file.
[05:11] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry: every file or folder has 3 main rights: the owner, the group, and the permissions (modes)
[05:11] <inzoy> anyways.. forget about it..
[05:11] <Thornsberry> Kakarotto: How do I change the owner?
[05:11] <JordiGH> What's a recommended X server for Ubuntu? I need to X-forward something to a Windows box.
[05:11] <belarm> Thornsberry, see my last message
[05:11] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry: you need to login as root again (root = superuser)
[05:11] <belarm> JordiGH, Indiana University puts out an XLiveCD that'll set up a working cygwin version of X you can use
[05:12] <belarm> i'll find the link; just a second
[05:12] <inzoy> or just sudo
[05:12] <Thornsberry> Kakarotto: Okay.
[05:12] <belarm> Kakarotto: http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/
[05:12] <torrent2> My system name is Laptop. I set the server string in smb.conf as %h but it shows up as Laptop (Laptop).. How do i fix this? I don't want the system name twice
[05:12] <Kakarotto> Thornsberry anyway it would be lots easier if you could do it from the X
[05:12] <Sanketsu> I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and it's my first venture into linux.  I've got to say that I love it.  Only thing is, I had a program in windows that would do auto background switching from a given directory.  Unfortunately, I can't find something equivalent for Ubuntu.
[05:12] <nickrud> JordiGH, also xming is a x server you can run on windows
[05:12] <dessnr> y:  you can download the ISO file of Hirens boot CD here ...  http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd  Write it to a CD and then boot it.  It has many useful utilities for repairing HD's.
[05:12] <viper233> Glam : have you got a windows Vista boot/rescue install CD? roll back the changes in the bios and then do a repair/rescue with Vista, let Vista rewrite to the mbr and get itself running again.
[05:12] <Kakarotto> belarm: what?
[05:12] <y> thanks.
[05:12] <belarm> meh; that was supposed to be directed at JordiGH
[05:12] <dessnr> y: welcome
[05:13]  * belarm is getting both old and tired
[05:13] <JordiGH> belarm: It's just that I note that cygwin's X server is unmaintained.
[05:13]  * inzoy thanks for not helping me..
[05:13] <Kakarotto> (i can't believe this nick is still alive.. i registered it 2 years ago and it has remained registered)
[05:13] <Glam> viper233: the laptop didn't come with a vista rescue cd, will a xp one work?
[05:13] <viper233> Glam : first return your bios to it's original settings
[05:13] <JordiGH> nickrud: Can I mix xming with Cygwin?
[05:14] <viper233> Glam : no idea..
[05:14] <y> howto burn ISO to disk from the command line in Ubuntu?
[05:14] <belarm> JordiGH, that may be, and that's a good reason not to use it. That said, many of the faculty in my department use it without major issues. You might try this xming, though.
[05:14] <Glam> viper233: can you tell me what i should do after i return the bios to normal?
[05:14] <belarm> y: cdrecord <iso>
[05:14] <y> thanks.
[05:14] <belarm> np
[05:15] <nickrud> JordiGH, yes, http://gears.aset.psu.edu/hpc/guides/xming/ has a guide to setting it up
[05:15] <JordiGH> belarm: Thank you. A Windows friend of mine is having issues with X forwarding, and it's hard to diagnose remotely over Jabber. ;-)
[05:15] <Glam> viper233: the reason i changed it was because it wouldn't run the livecd without changing ahci to ide
[05:15] <JordiGH> nickrud: Nice, tahnks.
[05:15] <JordiGH> thanks
[05:15] <dessnr> belarm: thanks for that, i was about to recommend the UI called brasero.  Was unaware of the command line.  Cheers.
[05:16] <Condoulo> I really really need help with something
[05:16] <belarm> JordiGH: i'd imagine so.
[05:16] <Sanketsu> Does anyone know where I can find a background switcher for Ubuntu that's similar to this? http://www.johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher

[05:24] <RoshanK> hello, i'm pretty new to ubuntu and linux in general. Could someone help me to install a driver from code? I assume I might have to compile it
[05:24] <eternalis1> If i have an external harddrive, whats the best way to remove it on both linux and windows
[05:24] <eternalis1> in linux would i just unmount it and turn it off?
[05:24] <eternalis1> and in windows just select "safely remove hardware"
[05:24] <y> eternalis1 umount /the/harddrive
[05:24] <nickrud> American-Tech,   applications->accessories->terminal , type in there:  lspci | grep -i vga, it'll tell you in detail
[05:25] <eternalis1> it has a power switch, thats what scares me, i dont want to jus tturn it off but it seems thats all i can do really
[05:25] <ridge-meister> Benalex when i click "scan removable media" nothing happens.  the ipod is connected with usb, and there is nothing on it as far as i know
[05:25] <jimmygoon> eternalis1, when you unmount in ubuntu it makes sure everything is written to the device
[05:25] <jimmygoon> eternalis1, it "safely removes it"
[05:25] <Benalex> ridge-meister: can you browse its contents from Natilus?
[05:25] <viper233> Glam : okay..   now df -h
[05:25] <eternalis1> jimmygoon: so thats the equivalent of safely remove hardware in windows? just makingn sure because i dualboot with both
[05:26] <viper233> Glam : I want to see where your CD/DVD is mounted
[05:26] <jimmygoon> eternalis1, unfortunately, when you shut down ubuntu it doesn't always do that... so if you have a removable device make sure you unmount it before you shut down ubuntu. even if you aren't unplugging it
[05:26] <y> howto eject a cd in ubuntu?
[05:26] <American-Tech> 7300 gt
[05:26] <jimmygoon> eternalis1, yes, that is the safest thing to do
[05:26] <eternalis1> jimmygoon: aright thanks man
[05:26] <jimmygoon> y, right click its icn and hit "unmount" or "eject"
[05:26] <RoshanK> Could someone help me to install a driver from code? I assume I might have to compile it
[05:26] <viper233> Glam : make sure you have a space between df   and   -h
[05:26] <jimmygoon> eternalis1, sure, no problem
[05:26] <dessnr> y:  try this link here and see how you go.  this is the 9.3 version.  downloading it these days seems like it is a real cow :|  http://rs228.rapidshare.com/files/63049265/Hirens.BootCD.9.3__9Down.COM.rar
[05:26] <y> dessnr: eject cd ubuntu
[05:26] <y> jimmygoon i am using command line
[05:26] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, sudo apt-get install build-essential   to start off with
[05:26] <Glam> viper233: ok, let me screen shot this again.
[05:26] <y> how to eject CD in ubuntu from *command line*
[05:26] <smilevil> nickrud, well for example this mms://qstream-wm.qbrick.com/00928/sthlm/kultur/studiopop/dream01.wmv
[05:27] <jimmygoon> y, sudo umount /media/cdrom
[05:27] <jimmygoon> y, or something close to that
[05:27] <soldats> y, eject in a terminal
[05:27] <ridge-meister> Benalex: what would be the uri that i type into nautilus?
[05:27] <RoshanK> well jimmygoon i've been given a link for this
[05:27] <RoshanK> https://launchpad.net/asusoled/
[05:27] <y> i need iso
[05:27] <RoshanK> i dont know what to do from here
[05:27] <Glam> viper233: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k67/QueenHawkeye/Screenshot-5.png
[05:27] <soldats> y, why is it broked
[05:28] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, there isn't anything precompiled for that?
[05:28] <dessnr> y: did you try the link i gave you, the last link i just sent?  it has a countdown but then begins download.
[05:28] <nickrud> American-Tech, system->admin->restricted drivers, enable the nvidia one, and reboot. You should get better video support.
[05:28] <Benalex> ridge-meister: it should be appearing among your partitions
[05:28] <y> soldats gr
[05:28] <RoshanK> i believe not
[05:28] <y> dessnr yeah but i need iso not rar.
[05:28] <torrent3> My system name is Laptop. I set the server string in smb.conf as %h but it shows up as Laptop (Laptop).. How do i fix this? I don't want the system name twice
[05:28] <RoshanK> i looked and this is what i got from multiple places
[05:28] <dessnr> ISO is within the RAR file.
[05:28] <soldats> y, "man eject" in a terminal
[05:28] <y> oooh
[05:28] <y> duh.
[05:28] <American-Tech> Thanks Nick I will is going through update right now
[05:28] <y> soldats eject = does nothing
[05:28] <smilevil> nickrud, did you see the sample url i've send you?
[05:28] <RoshanK> i'm really sorry if it's trouble for you but i'm completely new to this
[05:29] <soldats> y, hmm strange
[05:29] <ridge-meister> Benalex: i click on "Places" in the menu above, right?  i don't see anything up there says ipod or samsung
[05:29] <w3rd> hi, i just installed ubuntu server... is there something else that i need to do to login, i keep getting this initializing startup scripts message and it just hangs?
[05:29] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, sorry, i'm not familiar with that
[05:29] <RoshanK> ok thank you though
[05:29] <RoshanK> do you think i should keep asking here?
[05:30] <RoshanK> or is there another channel
[05:30] <nickrud> smilevil, yes, I need to install mplayer
[05:30] <y> dessnr oh my god. that site sucks.
[05:30] <y> any other sources?
[05:30] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, are you sure you need that?
[05:30] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, I read something that implies that oled support is in 2.6.22
[05:30] <Benalex> ridge-meister: then I don't think your iPod has been detected.. this is the same probl;em I have... i can't mount my kingstone Flash drive yet.. ask someone else in a few, may be you get some answer... sorry :)
[05:31] <RoshanK> hmm
[05:31] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, what version of ubuntu do you have? (uname -a)
[05:31] <viper233> Glam : brain has gone a bit spongey.. can't see how your CD is mounted.. can you type   dmesg   at the terminal and copy that output to pastebin.com
[05:31] <ridge-meister> Benalex: Device Manager has found the device, which is good.  just don't know what to do after that :)
[05:31] <RoshanK> well the thing is that i have an oled on my laptop that while in ubuntu only isplays ASUS the entire time. this driver should allow me somehow to sht it off t least and even modifiy
[05:31] <RoshanK> i have gutsy gibbons
[05:31] <root> hi
[05:31] <codo> hi anyone here :) ?
[05:32] <Benalex> ridge-meister: what is the name of it /dev/???
[05:32] <codo> i just fired up my mplayer and started watching with subtitle
[05:32] <codo> it was working fine
[05:32] <codo> but the subtitles were too big
[05:32] <dessnr> y: i am still looking.  once upon a time, it was click and download.
[05:32] <codo> so I googled and found config had to be altered
[05:32] <y> i need to get it with wget =)
[05:32] <codo> so i make changes to config
[05:32] <jimmygoon> RoshanK, hm, I'm sorry, I really don't know. I would scour the internet and see, surely someone else has the oled functioning with ubuntu, I don't know how to help you any more though
[05:32] <codo> and the  mplayer doesnt play subtitles on ubuntu :(
[05:32] <codo> what may tbe reason :( ?
[05:32] <RoshanK> ok thank you though
[05:33] <jimmygoon> I need some help setting permissions for a program that had a weird installer, the 'bin' folder is only readable by root, what perm chmod level should I use to change it
[05:33] <w3rd> 777
[05:33] <w3rd> done
[05:33] <ridge-meister> Benalex: /dev/bus/usb/002/002
[05:33] <nickrud> smilevil, I'm having problems with mplayer playing that, says it can't read that one
[05:33] <Glam> viper233: http://pastebin.com/m540bc954
[05:33] <||drake||> i have audio working for everything, except for flash files playing in firefox (like youtube, flash games, etc)
[05:33] <jimmygoon> codo, have you tried vlc? I find mplayer to be barely better than totem at most times
[05:34] <codo> ok
[05:34]  * nickrud agrees with jimmygoon 
[05:34] <codo> ill try vlc for ubuntu
[05:34] <jimmygoon> ||drake||, you are having audio out problems? with gutsy?
[05:34] <codo> we can apt-get it ?
[05:34] <Benalex> ridge-meister: make an empty dir and then try to mount iPod using mount command into this empty dir
[05:34] <jimmygoon> codo, indeed, it even has a plugin for firefox though I can't seem to get it to work for me most times
[05:35] <smilevil> when i click on a mms like that it says totem to open it,  i wanna open it with mplayer, that's what i want
[05:35] <codo> but I can watch a movie of se7en with subtitles right :) ?
[05:35] <codo> ?
[05:35] <smilevil> nickrud, when i click on a mms like that it says totem to open it,  i wanna open it with mplayer, that's what i wan
[05:35] <jimmygoon> As far as I'm concerned though, anyone having problems with embedded media in firefox (in ANY operating system) need only look to MediaPlayerConnectivety extension to fix their problems.... it works MIRACLES!
[05:35] <||drake||> jimmygoon: thats way over-simplifying it, but i guess
[05:36]  * codo loved mplayers command line starting up :(
[05:36] <ridge-meister> Benalex: after i create the directory, what do i type as my mount command?
[05:36] <codo> but you screw it's config it screws up :(
[05:36] <codo> sigh
[05:36] <jimmygoon> ||drake||, hm, I was just suprised, I thought flash-audio problems had been put to rest a year or two ago with ubuntu :/ sorry, I don't really have anything more helpful to contribute to you :(
[05:36] <bullgard4> A German radio broadcast article states that there are about 40 full-time paid Ubuntu development engineers. Is that true?
[05:36] <Benalex> ridge-meister: sudo mount /dev/bus/usb/002/002 DirName
[05:37] <ari_stress> bullgard4: i guess so
[05:37]  * codo would love to work for ubuntu if they are true :P
[05:37] <Glam> viper233: i'm going to reset my bios setting and see if it makes any difference
[05:37] <crush_groove>  bullgard4  Id say that # was alittle low .. that is probably German developers
[05:38] <codo> ok vlc works for me :)
[05:38] <codo> may be christmas be merrier for you all guys
[05:38] <codo> cya
[05:39] <ridge-meister> Benalex: i tried to mount with "sudo mount /dev/bus/usb/002/002 ~/ipod"
[05:39] <dessnr> y:  try this one, and cross your fingers...  http://www.fixdown.com/godownload.asp?id=2619&gdcnc-downs=04fdea29ca97523d
[05:39] <Anubis> my ipod mounts itself
[05:40] <ridge-meister> i got this result -> mount: /dev/bus/usb/002/002 is not a block device
[05:40] <ridge-meister> Anubis: what did i do wrong with that command?
[05:40] <smilevil> nickrud, ok thanks i solve it, it's just about:config then create a new STRING and put network.protocol-handler.app.mms then on the other field put the software you want to use ot open it, in my case, mplayer, thanks to all
[05:41] <y> Some way to pipe DD through zip compression in one felll swoop?
[05:41] <Anubis> unplug it and plug it back in
[05:41] <Anubis> should auto mount
[05:41] <nickrud> smilevil, thanks, I'm adding that to mine as well. Good googling
[05:41] <fluvvell> I've managed to get my usb modules loaded into ndiswrapper, but I get probe of 2-4:1.0 failed with error -22
[05:41] <fluvvell> when i try to modprobe ndiswrapper.
[05:41] <dessnr> y:  not sure.  did the link work?
[05:41] <smilevil> nickrud, jeje thanks, well see ya
[05:41] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, mount -t fs-type device mount-point
[05:41] <soldats> ridge-meister, try a different usb port
[05:42] <fluvvell> could someone skilled in ndiswrapper give me any pointers? ndiswrapper -l lists them properly, but no device is created
[05:42] <mrdinkles> Attempting to get my wireless working-- ndiswrapper should be installed properly, wireless modem is on roaming, bcmwlf5 driver is installed and showing installed properly-- But its not picking up any wireless networks-- Ideas?
[05:43] <mrdinkles> am i missing something?
[05:43] <y> hmm no
[05:43] <ridge-meister> Anubis: what would unplugging and plugging it back in do?  i did that and it just reconnected.  still not seeing it in nautilus and it's not showing up in rythm
[05:43] <dessnr> y:  huh?  it worked for me that one...
[05:43] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: going to try your solution :)
[05:43] <Anubis> makes mine work
[05:44] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, no worries mate, have a bit of a read of mn
[05:44] <Mechdave> man mount
[05:44] <RoshanK> is anyone here familiar with compiling and drivers?
[05:44] <joel> i have the same problem as drinkles
[05:44] <dessnr> y:  scroll down to the bottom of this page and then click on server 3.
[05:44] <Hot_Girl> i'm not actually a hot girl. i'm actually a 22 yr old male from north carolina.
[05:44] <RoshanK> ....
[05:44] <CARLOS> Hot_Girl: a/s/l??
[05:44] <y> llol.
[05:44] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: in this command (mount -t fs-type device mount-point) what do i put in the "fs-type" field?
[05:45] <bullgard4> ari_stress, crush_groove: Thank you for commenting.
[05:45] <ridge-meister> CARLOS: probably something like 42, male, 6" :)
[05:45] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, Ok what type of file system is it? Is it vfat or a apple partition on those ipods?
[05:46] <RoshanK> does anyone know a decent C compiler that i can use to compile for a driver?
[05:46] <dessnr> y: if that last link does not work (server 3) then I can't help you, because that worked for me fine.
[05:46] <CARLOS> ridge-meister: you forgot 247 lbs
[05:46] <CARLOS> muchos kg
[05:46] <y> dessnr service unavailable
[05:46] <soldats> vfat or apple partitions should auto moutn regardless
[05:46] <mwag> anyone know how to make the desktop cube transparent?
[05:46] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: i don't know i just saw that Device Manager spotted :)
[05:46] <Mechdave> soldats, cheers
[05:46] <ridge-meister> CARLOS :)
[05:46] <dessnr> y:  server 1 and 2 did that for me, not 3.
[05:46] <dessnr> y:  scroll down to the bottom of this page and then click on server 3.
[05:47] <dessnr> http://www.fixdown.com/english/System/2619_download.htm
[05:47] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, try mount -t vfat /dev/whatever /home/your-home/ipod
[05:47] <bullgard4> RoshanK: Ubuntu comes with a standard C compiler. This is well-tested and should do the job for you.
[05:47] <mrdinkles> mwag: open your compiz fusion editor, go to dekstop cube- transparent, and adjust em there
[05:47] <mrdinkles>  Attempting to get my wireless working-- ndiswrapper should be installed properly, wireless modem is on roaming, bcmwlf5 driver is installed and showing installed properly-- But its not picking up any wireless networks-- Ideas?
[05:47] <mrdinkles>  am i missing something?
[05:47] <joel> anyway to change ROOT password.. lol, i forgot what i set it as?
[05:47] <dessnr> afk
[05:48] <RoshanK> bullgard4, thank you. do you think you could help me with how to comile and isntall drivers?
[05:48] <Mechdave> joel, sudo su then passwd root
[05:48] <RoshanK> install*
[05:48] <joel> thx
[05:48] <EADG_> What repo do I need to add to be able to install build-dep ffmpeg?
[05:48] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: i got this -> honey@honey:/dev/usb$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/bus/usb/002/002 /home/honey/ipod
[05:48] <ridge-meister> mount: special device /dev/bus/usb/002/002 does not exist
[05:48] <bullgard4> RoshanK: No, I have used it. But my experiences are too narrow so far.
[05:49] <RoshanK> bullgard4, ok thank you.
[05:49] <Mechdave> ok do a dmesg and see where the ipod is attached
[05:49] <soldats> ridge-meister, or try a fifferent usb port
[05:49] <soldats> different
[05:50] <y> I see no link
[05:50] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: didn't realize that the raw usb device changes each time a device is re-attached, so I changed "002/002" to "002/003" and then the "not a block device" message
[05:51] <ridge-meister> soldats: you mean a different physical usb port?
[05:51] <soldats> ridge-meister, yes
[05:51] <dessnr> back
[05:51] <dessnr> y:  you scroll all the way down to the bottom and then click "fixdown Download Server3"
[05:51] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, Ok you need to identify the first partition on the drive as ubuntu will see it as a mass storage device so try 0021
[05:51] <Mechdave> maybe
[05:52] <bullgard4> dessnr: messages of the kind 'afk' and 'back' are not appreciated in this busy channel.
[05:52] <Mechdave> or do a ls -la /dev | grep 002/003
[05:52] <dessnr> y: do you see it yet?
[05:52] <Mechdave> see if there is a symbolic link to it in the /dev directory
[05:53] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, see if there is a symbolic link to it in the /dev directory
[05:53] <jaggz-> I installed 7.04 server a few months ago, and I didn't use the server yet.. is it a good idea to download the server cd again (7.10 this time) and re-install or is dist-upgrade fine?
[05:53] <jaggz-> I just think there's a certain amount of cleanliness-issue at hand
[05:54] <y> dessnr on some other page or the last link?
[05:54] <Mechdave> jaggz-, I would do a fresh re install
[05:54] <y> i got the box on the last link but for some reason I got 404
[05:54] <y> wget didn't get it, that is
[05:54]  * jimmygoon loves ubuntu sooo much
[05:54] <Pengo__> what sort of servers are intalled with ubuntu server edition?
[05:54] <y> really?
[05:54] <y> I can't wait to uninstall it. =)
[05:55] <y> I'm gonna switch back to debian
[05:55] <Pengo__> Web, Ftp, ssh, telnet, email, dns, cache (squid) ?
[05:55] <dessnr> y: it's working for me.  you must have something thats blocking certain ports, or ip addresses.
[05:55] <jimmygoon> y, why?
[05:55] <zero88> can anyone help me out here. I want to learn C++ under linux, im new to programming.Just need a point in the right direction for a beginner
[05:55] <y> jimmygoon, serial reasons, really.
[05:55] <y> I don't like the GUI
[05:55] <jimmygoon> y, do you have a proxy that is blocking or allowing the iso for wget/firefox
[05:55] <jaggz-> Mech, thanks
[05:55] <y> its choppy and really buggy.
[05:55] <mEck0> Hi! I've tried to copy music from Rhythmbox to my ipod, it works good, but when I disconnect (eject) the ipod and wanted to listen to the music on it, no tracks are "visible" on the ipod. when I check the memory available I see that there is something taking up place, but no songs :S when I connect the ipod to rhythmbox again, all the tracks that I've copied to the ipod are visible and I can even play the track from the ipod in rhythmbox
[05:55] <mEck0>  :S hmm, whats wrong? sorry for long text...
[05:55] <jimmygoon> y, that is changable, very easily
[05:55] <soldats> zero88, google learn c++ for beginners
[05:55] <y> I don't have any firewall
[05:56] <y> I saw the box with FF but with wget it failled
[05:56] <y> jimmygoon -- mostly this problem with the HD. KNOPPIX and other disk utils see it just fine
[05:56] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: i did this -> honey@honey:/dev/usb$ ls -la /dev | grep 002/003
[05:56] <y> and ubuntu gives me really conflicting data
[05:56] <ridge-meister> lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root          15 2007-12-26 00:44 libmtp-usbdev2.3 -> bus/usb/002/003
[05:56] <torrent3> Under Places > Network > Windows Network, none of my systems show up.. Can someone help me with this?
[05:56] <y> fdisk -l says my drive is at /dev/sda1 and yet no /dev/sda1 exists
[05:56] <jay2xra> anyone who knows how to make my built in bluetooth work on ubuntu gutsy?
[05:57] <jay2xra> i'm using a dell inspiron 640M
[05:57] <jay2xra> hcitool is not showing anything..
[05:57] <Glam> viper233: when i reseted my bios settings i got back into vista after doing a system restore
[05:57] <y> allso, jimmygoon, I find the ubuntu rescue disk quite useless.
[05:57] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, that is rather interesting, if you unplug the ipod do you get the same result?
[05:58] <y> At least for the problems i've had.
[05:58] <htaj> hi. im having difficulties with power management ... i set blank screen when i close my laptop lid but whenever i close the lid, the backlight wont turn off. any idea guys ?
[05:58] <Glam> i haven't tried to boot in with ubuntu yet, i'll be back to find out if it works or not
[05:58] <jimmygoon> hm, well, still loads better than windows and it has been a nice learning experience for my first linux distro, so I can't complain too much, I've only had one real major issue and I've learned to cope
[05:59] <pvl1> are there any requierments for compiz fusion or beryl
[05:59] <viper233> Glam: cool
[05:59] <ridge-meister> Mechdave: if i unplug it, it returns nothing
[05:59] <jimmygoon> pvl1, have a graphics card (driver) that supports compositing
[05:59] <y> jimmygoon, yeah, its a good first. But I said that about Fedora Core and, at the end of the day, it was just trying to be too unique.
[05:59] <nickrud> debian is fine, but I switched to ubuntu because it needs little configuration. Haven't had any intractable hardware problems, though
[06:00] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, rather odd, hang about shall research it a bit
[06:00] <pvl1> jimmygoon, oo ok ty
[06:00] <y> yeah. i liked ubuntu at first but trying to get help is weird.
[06:00] <jimmygoon> ubuntu has more packages, hands down... that is largely what gets me everytime
[06:00] <jimmygoon> pvl1, does that help? heh
[06:00] <nickrud> debian packages :)
[06:00] <y> heh.
[06:00] <nickrud> what's the problem, anyway y?
[06:01] <nickrud> and y , the best help is on the mail list, as always
[06:01] <y> my /dev/sda1 errors on startup and then doesn't exist in dev
[06:01] <jimmygoon> grr, the woot didn't change
[06:01] <y> but /dev/sda is there
[06:01] <y> fdisk says that /dev/sda1 is there.
[06:01] <y> but its not.
[06:02] <nickrud> that is an oddity, sounds like a udev problem. over my head
[06:02] <y> yup.
[06:02] <viper233> y : what is meant to be there? what partition type and filesystem is on /dev/sda1
[06:02] <nickrud> y ask on the mail list , good help is available there
[06:04] <Glam> it works now, only with one weird thing
[06:04] <viper233> Glam : yeah?
[06:04] <Glam> when i boot up ubuntu i still get the message /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[06:05] <Glam> so i tried typing in exit and it loaded up ubuntu
[06:05] <viper233> Glam : so does it boot at all and allow you to login? are you running linux now?
[06:06] <Glam> viper233: yeah, it lets me boot it now, i just have to type exit every time i have to load it
[06:06] <Glam> Thank you so so so so sooo much for your help viper233
[06:07] <Glam> I'm so totally in your debt, thank you so much again!
[06:07] <nickrud> Glam, do you have a floppy drive?
[06:08] <Mechdave> ridge-meister, can you post for me the last few lines of dmesg after you plug in you ipod, post it in #mechdave
[06:08] <viper233> Glam : No probs..
[06:08] <belarm> alright...anyone here have experience with grub2?
[06:08] <Mechdave> belarm, a little
[06:09] <belarm> does it, um...work?
[06:09] <viper233> Glam : do you understand what the problem is related to? it the jmicron IDE controller that your CD/DVD is attached to. This controller is real problem as it is not well supported my linux.. still.. I think...
[06:09] <Mechdave> belarm,  in what way is it not working?
[06:10] <belarm> Mechdave, I haven't installed it yet. I'm just wondering if there are any show-stoppers that I should be aware of going into the install.
[06:10] <Glam> viper233: i think it was the IDE that messed me up because when i reseted the bios it worked fine
[06:11] <belarm> My current grub setup is simply not going to work for me any more, and I'm thinking of trying this (plus it sounds neat)
[06:11] <Mechdave> belarm, if you are running vista with it you need to find out how to make it vista/ubuntu dual boot, XP is ok tho
[06:11] <Glam> ok, one more thing and then i'm off to bed, how do i make my screen resolution 1200x800, i'm only getting 1024x768
[06:12] <unravel> I have a D-Link USB adapter. I've been using it for the last few months with basically no probs, though it sometimes misbehaves after I've booted into XP ((wont come up without a series of reboots)). Rarely boot XP so this is rarely a prob, but I did it yesterday...
[06:12] <nickrud> Glam, what kind of video card are you using?
[06:12] <viper233> Glam :  Yeah, it's ide controller on the motherboard. I had the same issue with some desktop machines and the easiest solution was to use Sata CD/DVD drives.. bit of a problem with a laptop :}
[06:12] <Dial_tone> what type monitor?
[06:12] <belarm> Mechdave, I'm not dual-booting. Grub is having issues with the fact that my bios is throwing the new SATA drives I installed in before my old ones, and I'm hoping to be able to resolve this on a permanent basis.
[06:13] <Glam> nickrud: it's a intel
[06:13] <viper233> Glam : got to a virtual terminal by holding ALT-CTRL and then press F1
[06:13] <nickrud> Glam, if you could put your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and the output of  lspci | grep -i vga on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:13] <nickrud> Glam, but if viper233 has a shortcut ...
[06:13] <viper233> Glam : ALT-CTRL F7 to get back to X
[06:14] <bullgard4> /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh writes: "# Unset video posting - it's not needed for suspend to disk." What is meant by 'video posting'?
[06:14] <RoshanK> would anyone here be chance have an asus g1s or g2s?
[06:14] <viper233> yeah, just use the                   dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg      interface.. saves having to edit the file directly
[06:15] <RoshanK> or any such asus laptop with the oled?
[06:15] <nickrud> I try to look at the stuff first, saves guessing. Could be vesa driver for some reason
[06:15] <viper233> You might be able to run that command from the terminal while in X though it could complain that X is already running.  I know I would :P
[06:15] <nickrud> viper233, no, it's fine to run in a terminal
[06:16] <jumbers> Is there a way to disable the graphical boot and have it display verbose text of the boot process?
[06:16] <American-Tech> Anybody know way around mail notification
[06:16] <fiXXXerMet> Looking at top, mysqld_safe is using 100% of CPU, and mysqld is using 21%.  What the heck is mysqld_safe? :)
[06:16] <Glam> uhh can you repeat that?
[06:16] <Glam> my screen blanked out after ctrl alt f1
[06:17] <nickrud> jumbers, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , look for the line with splash in it. delete the word splash. delete quiet if you want to see all the kernel messages as well
[06:17] <American-Tech> Anybody know way around mail notification program.
[06:17] <viper233> Glam : sorry... ALT-CTRL F7 to get back to X
[06:17] <jumbers> nickrud: Thank you
[06:17] <Glam> viper233: so what do i need to do?
[06:17] <viper233>   dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg     in a terminal, will let  you choose your resolution
[06:18] <viper233> Glam : sudo  dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   got to put the sudo first... remember spaces
[06:19] <Glam> uh it asks for a password
[06:20] <viper233> Glam : you can cut and paste in X by selecting the text with left mouse button and then moving the cursor to the terminal and clicking the middle button to paste.. if you don't have a middle button press the left and right buttons at the same time
[06:20] <ridge-meister_> Mechdave: sorry about that, had a breakdown there.  went to reconnect the ipod to the original usb port, and wound up turning the damn machine off :)
[06:20] <ridge-meister_> Mechdave: are you still in #mechdave?
[06:20] <Aaron_Mason> hey all, I'm trying to compile a kernel and I got the error 'cannot find ld'... I tested with a basic program and the same message come up. i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and build-essential is installed
[06:20] <Glam> viper233: ok i'm in the terminal, what now?
[06:21] <viper233> When it asks for a password just enter your normail password that you entered to login
[06:22] <viper233> Glam : sudo  dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   got to put the sudo first... remember spaces
[06:22] <Glam> viper233: i'm in the xserver-xorg, what do i do now?
[06:24] <ridge-meister_> Mechdave: you there?
[06:24] <ridge-meister_> when i plug the ipod in Music Player starts up
[06:24] <nickrud> Aaron_Mason, type  which ld  in  a terminal, you should get back /usr/bin/ld
[06:24] <viper233> Glam : just for follow the prompts.. make sure there is an X next to the resolution that you want.

[06:25] <EADG_> how do I track down what needs to be satisfied for this error?  E: Build-dependencies for ffmpeg could not be satisfied
[06:26] <Glam> viper233: it gives me a list of x server drivers

[06:28] <viper233> Glam : this site doesn't say what driver to use... http://hsnewman.freeshell.org/acr5315.htm handy.... Not..
[06:29] <scone> hi there!
[06:29] <nickrud> Glam, in another terminal, type lspci | grep -i vga , that will give enough info about your card to choose a driver

[06:30] <lucian_> oops, sorry
[06:30] <RoshanK> please someone help me compile drivers for an asus oled
[06:30] <RoshanK> i am a pure n00b i admit it
[06:30] <RoshanK> please reply if u can help me
[06:30] <bluefoxx> ok, so i found the root of _*ALL*_ my computers problems, not my mo-bo, CPU, but a 1998 zoltrix nightingale one PCI sound card
[06:30] <viper233> Glam : chose intel if its available or vesa otherwise
[06:31] <bluefoxx> not only did it crash my compter but it dcrewed with my SATA controller
[06:31] <nickrud> viper233, i810 is ok for intel as well
[06:31] <Glam> viper233 ok
[06:31] <viper233> thanks nickrud
[06:31] <bluefoxx> after removing it my BIOS now correctly detects the SATA seagate 80-gig
[06:31] <bluefoxx> i still cant get linux to detect it
[06:32] <lucian_> HELP. My external hard drive is auto-mounting in /media/MAX HD (yes, a darn space). How do I change it so it automounts to a different folder in /media?
[06:32] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, you need to directly ask a question when you're on IRC.  People don't tend to respond to "Can anyone..." or "Can I ask a question...".
[06:32] <viper233> Glam : us for Keyboard, pc105 for mapping and then restart and see how it goes.

[06:32] <mrdinkles>  am i missing something?
[06:32] <Aaron_Mason> lucian_, you'll have to change the filesystem's label
[06:32] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, not trying to sound mean or anything, but yeah.
[06:32] <Aaron_Mason> that's the easiest way
[06:32] <lucian_> Aaron_Mason: how do I go about doing that?
[06:32] <bluefoxx> so does ubuntu 7.04 not support SATA or what?
[06:33] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, especially in already-noisy channels like this one :)
[06:33] <danroj> tanks danzigrules
[06:33] <viper233> Heading off to movies, Golden Compass... yipee.. see you all in 4-5 hrs
[06:33] <nickrud> lucian_, right click the icon on the desktop, select properties, and on the last tab, click the triangle next to settings. Change the mount point (just the last word, replacing MAX HD)
[06:33] <lucian_> nickrud: thank you :)
[06:33] <Aaron_Mason> lucian_, either plug it into a Windows machine and change it there, that will set it for all future plug ins
[06:33] <Aaron_Mason> *or
[06:34] <BHSPitMonkey> lucian_, nothing terribly bad about a space :)
[06:34] <nickrud> spaces are *evil* in paths
[06:34] <Glam> viper233: how do i make an x next to the ones i want?  pressing enter doesn't do anything
[06:34] <NDAKOTA> i
[06:34] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, I understand, and am sorry for flooding the channel. Would you be able to help me compile or install these drivers in any way? http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html
[06:34] <lucian_> just dont like spaces... especially the uglyness of a space in the command line
[06:34] <BHSPitMonkey> nickrud, yeah, but it doesn't -break- things.
[06:35] <nickrud> BHSPitMonkey, maybe not anymore, but it used to and I got innoculated then
[06:35] <Sam1011101111011> hello
[06:36] <Sam11> up
[06:36] <pvl1> can someone help with compiz?
[06:36] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, strange little device there.  You'll need to install build-essential using Synaptic or apt-get.
[06:36] <nickrud> pvl1, #compiz-fusion has most of the compiz gurus
[06:36] <||drake||> why do flash movies playing in firefox have no sound?
[06:37] <pvl1> nickrud, ty!
[06:37] <rainwalker> is there a Kopete channel?
[06:37] <lucian_> crap... now it says it can't mount
[06:37] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, ok i will look for it thank you
[06:37] <BHSPitMonkey> ||drake||, using Gutsy?
[06:37] <Glam> thanks for all the help viper233!
[06:37] <nickrud> lucian_, you didn't do  /media/<name> did you
[06:37] <||drake||> BHSPitMonkey: yessir
[06:37] <lucian_> nickrud: yea... the mount point was blank
[06:38] <lucian_> the textbox anyways
[06:38] <nickrud> lucian, I said just the last word ...  a sec
[06:38] <BHSPitMonkey> ||drake||, odd.  Are you using some other piece of software that could be taking the sound card away from ALSA?
[06:39] <bluefoxx> so can someone tell me about 7.04 and SATA? whats the deal with it?
[06:40] <lucian_> crap
[06:40] <||drake||> BHSPitMonkey: not that i know of... i'm just using Firefox and xChat right now... lemme check my soundcard settings real quick
[06:40] <nickrud> lucian_,   in a terminal, type:  gconftool --recursive-unset  /system/storage/volumes
[06:40] <lucian_> k
[06:40] <lucian_> thnx
[06:40] <American-Tech> Does anybody here use mail notification
[06:40] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, I have installed build-essential from synaptic packet manager, could you please let me know what i may have to do next. sorry if I am asking you for step by step instructions, i am very new to ubuntu and linux in general
[06:40] <Sam11> is there a way to adjust volume in kde?
[06:41] <BHSPitMonkey> ||drake||, try installing alsa-oss, and then start firefox with "aoss firefox" in a terminal
[06:41] <||drake||> BHSPitMonkey: yea, everything looks fine in the sound prefs and such... when I use Totem and Exaile sound comes normally
[06:41] <BHSPitMonkey> ||drake||, you shouldn't have to do that anymore, though
[06:41] <lucian_> nickrud: rock on.. thanks a mill.
[06:41] <||drake||> BHSPitMonkey: alright

[06:41] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, can you extract that download into a folder?
[06:42] <nickrud> lucian_, so repeat and just change the last word , replaceing MAX HD :)
[06:42] <RoshanK> yes
[06:42] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, yes
[06:42] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, you'll then want to open up a Terminal (Applications>Accessories) and navigate to that folder
[06:42] <RoshanK> i then opened terminal and ran cd/Desktop/ and to the foldaer
[06:42] <RoshanK> and then
[06:42] <RoshanK> i ran sudo make && make isntall
[06:42] <RoshanK> but at a point it says error
[06:43] <BHSPitMonkey> what's the error
[06:43] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, i will paste what i get in a second
[06:43] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, be sure to use a pastebin and not to paste in here.

However, clicking on the desktop icon brings it up.
[06:46] <blkorpheus> Bug 47386
[06:46] <nickrud> lucian_, that is odd. is there anything in the media directory?
[06:46] <lucian_> cdrom and cdrom0

[07:00] <lucian> crap... i've been irritated all day long about it
[07:00] <kikr> most likely

[07:01] <ubotu> ninda: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:01] <ninda> U NOT MAKE CONVERSATION WITH ME
[07:01] <lucian> nickrud: i'll wait... nothing big.. i could always install gnash too
[07:01] <bluefoxx> ubuntu tells me "ATA2.00: VALIDATION ER NO:[-19] on bootup, even before "reading boot files"
[07:01] <crazy_bus> I have a card which worked in kubuntu gutsy. However my motherboard broke so I'm using the card on a older computer running Feisty. I did the correct modprobe and added the moduels so it shows up in lsmod. Also no errors are in dmesg. But for some reason no /dev/dvb is created. Is there anyway to get it to?
[07:01] <ztomic> aight! The problem was @audio
[07:01] <Myrtti> ninda: stop it
[07:02] <nickrud> lucian, gnash is well named, you will gnash your teeth trying to watch flash with that
[07:02] <kikr> lol
[07:02] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, sorry about before. here is the pastebin link http://pastebin.com/m1d5043d0
[07:02] <ninda> MYRTTI.WHAT MY PROBLEM WITH U?HA
[07:02] <lucian> tru.. it is a .. pain sometimes on my ppc where no flash is available :(
[07:02] <MasterShrek> interesting bluefoxx, any sata controller ive used has been auto detected, no problem.  how new is your hardware?
[07:03] <RoshanK> ninda, she wants you to turn off caps
[07:03] <BHSPitMonkey> DrChirs, in case nobody's told you, ubotu is a bot :)
[07:03] <ztomic> very nice jack with unlimited memlock.
[07:03] <ninda> WHAT CAPS?
[07:03] <MasterShrek> ninda, please refrain from using uppercase letters, and if you dont have any questions or dont want to offer any help, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:03] <bluefoxx> its an asrock p4vm890, running the BIOS that came with it
[07:03] <lolcats> ninda, do you practice or does it come naturally?
[07:03] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, how new is it?
[07:03] <ninda> MAKSUT LOHHH?
[07:04] <BHSPitMonkey> there should be a channelmode for stripping caps
[07:04] <nickrud> bye bye
[07:04] <BHSPitMonkey> and trolls
[07:04] <bluefoxx> i got it in may/june ish
[07:04] <pvl1> ninda: hit caps lock on the left side
[07:04] <BHSPitMonkey> pvl1, wasn't accidental
[07:04] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, i would give 7.10 a go, it has a newer kernel, and probably better support for it
[07:04] <bluefoxx> well i would, but thats the problem
[07:04] <lolcats> Even if it was, if someone is that dense, they should find another hobby.  Like fingerpainting.
[07:04] <BloodyScum> from what i can see, Ubuntu already works well with a windows network, but is there anything more i can do to help it work better with a windows network, for instance can i make ubuntu show up inside a windows workgroup or active directory domain, and such things like that..
[07:05] <bluefoxx> i need to backup to the SATA drive
[07:05] <pvl1> BHSPitMonkey, oh ok
[07:05] <bluefoxx> XD
[07:05] <lucian> bluefoxx: make a new partition and drag your stuff there
[07:05] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, boot the 7.10 livecd, and if it recognizes it, back your data up from that, then perform the install
[07:05] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, I'm sorry if I'm bugging you but here is the pastebin link to the error i got while attempting to install the driver
[07:05] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, http://pastebin.com/m1d5043d0
[07:06] <RoshanK> lol sorry bout that
[07:06] <bluefoxx> ok, will try that, is gonna take some time though as i am on glorified dial-up
[07:06] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, dont ever apologize for trying to get help here :)
[07:06] <MasterShrek> ouch
[07:06] <Myrtti> /me ducks
[07:06] <soldats> error
[07:06] <bluefoxx> and have about 40-50 gigs of data to keep
[07:06] <RoshanK> ok thank you mastershrek
[07:07] <BloodyScum> because i can log on to an active directory domain with ubuntu to access files, but is there a way to join an active directory domain or even show up as a workgrouped computer
[07:07] <lucian> bluefoxx: how big is your current hd?
[07:07] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, how did you get the data on the sata drive already? windows?
[07:07] <bluefoxx> 250 GB
[07:07] <soldats> MasterShrek, did you get your ipod problem solved
[07:07] <ageorge> I'm having trouble getting any sound to work on Ubuntu 7.10, i believe it worked fine with 6.06.  The sound card is a Audigy LS.   Anyone have any suggestions?
[07:07] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, run "make clean", then run "make", then run "sudo make install".  If there's an error along the way, stop and let me know.
[07:07] <MasterShrek> soldats, that wasnt me, i dont even own an ipod =P
[07:07] <lisa_potter> Hi..
[07:07] <pvl1> ageorge: check you levels in alsa?
[07:07] <teKnofreak> ageorge, alsamixer works?
[07:07] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey ok will do
[07:07] <MasterShrek> BloodyScum, you can have it in workgroups, samba can do that
[07:07] <lucian> bluefoxx: if you have the extra space... it would probably be easier to make a new partition about 60 gigs to backup while you install 7.10 on the other partition
[07:08] <MasterShrek> hello lisa_potter
[07:08] <soldats> MasterShrek, oh jeebz im sorry the tab completion got the better of me
[07:08] <lisa_potter> Hello
[07:08] <ageorge> yeah, levels in alsamixer are all up, I've tried various level settings with no luck
[07:08] <MasterShrek> lucian, he cant access the sata drive to do that, thats the problem
[07:08] <teKnofreak> ageorge, did you try plugging in a headphone?
[07:08] <MasterShrek> soldats =P
[07:08] <bluefoxx> MasterShrek: what do you mean data on sata drive?im running a seagate U-IDE 250 gig as my main drive, ubuntu only
[07:09] <teKnofreak> ageorge, open up the sound mixes window, in the switches check whether external amplifier is on or off
[07:09] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, oh, i figured you had data on the sata drive, i dont know why i thought that lol
[07:09] <lucian> MasterShrek: i was speaking in terms of parting the drive he is currently using to back the data up while he reinstalls on the primary partition
[07:09] <bluefoxx> MasterShrek: i want to backup to install windows for compatability of softwear, then reinstall ubuntu, and throw debian, slax and a few other distros into the mix too[5way bootXD]
[07:10] <lisa_potter> Mastershrek?
[07:10] <MasterShrek> lucian, thats possible, also cant you just install over the top in ubuntu, i cant remember if theres an option not to format the drive, but if there is, just delete all the files you dont need (generally everything except /home) and install without formatting
[07:10] <ageorge> teknofreak, where is the sound mixer window?  is it the volume control window?
[07:10] <MasterShrek> lisa_potter? =P
[07:10] <teKnofreak> ageorge, yep
[07:10] <lisa_potter> How old are u?
[07:11] <kye> in order to unse KDM themes i would have to installed Kubuntu desktop?
[07:11] <kye> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[07:11] <bluefoxx> lisa_potter: who?

[07:11] <ubotu> lisa_potter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:11] <BloodyScum> mastershrek: thank you, as much as i hate windows(iv removed it from all my personal systems) my work and school both use windows on all the machines and even though i can access all the networked files on the server, i cant share any of my own for others at my work to see have..
[07:11] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, install slax? slax is made to be a live distro, not really optimized for a desktop (use slackware) and you shouldnt haev any problems if you could get your sata controller working
[07:11] <lucian> bluefoxx: do you have a 7.10 cd or are you planning on downloading and burning?
[07:11] <nickrud> kye, if all you want is kdm , just sudo aptitude install kdm
[07:11] <blkorpheus> * Fixed incorrect line in debian/patches/VERSION.patch
[07:11] <lisa_potter> Thank's ubotu
[07:11] <MasterShrek> BloodyScum, i hear you on that, samba is good for it :)
[07:12] <blkorpheus> apt-get or aptitude
[07:12] <gradin> lisa_potter: ubotu is a bot... :P
[07:12] <lisa_potter> Yes Myrtti
[07:12] <soldats> ubotu is a bot he needs no thanks
[07:12] <bluefoxx> lucian: downloading and burning, they didnt approve my free-CD request
[07:12] <lisa_potter> Bot???
[07:12] <kye> nickrud, im trying to replace the menu at the bottom to look like KDE and use the KDM theme manger
[07:12] <bluefoxx> lisa_potter: bot=program
[07:12] <BHSPitMonkey> lisa_potter, talking to a computer
[07:12] <lisa_potter> Ooooo
[07:12] <blkorpheus> that meme about apt-get vs. aptitude is OLD
[07:12] <teKnofreak> lisa_potter, he can answer your On-Topic questions
[07:12] <lucian> bluefoxx: well, you could just do a dist-upgrade which would update your current distro to 7.10 (if your on fiesty) and you wouldn't need to back any data up
[07:12] <MasterShrek> bluefoxx, they didnt approve it? weird...
[07:12] <nickrud> kye, oh, you're talking about the taskbar, for that you'd have to run the full kde desktop
[07:13] <timob> define:meme
[07:13] <lucian> bluefoxx: then you could try hooking up the sata drive
[07:13] <kye> nickrud, so sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop should work
[07:13] <bluefoxx> lucian: i tried that once, it fried my main kernal
[07:13] <ronnie> eveil ;P
[07:13] <kye> I will be able to switch between KDM and GNOME?
[07:13] <nickrud> kye, yup, that's perfect
[07:13] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, thank you so much for the help. i believe that i isntalled the driver correctly and will now restart to see if it is working right
[07:13] <bluefoxx> lucian: plus it took forever and an age
[07:13] <kye> nickrud, thanks pal!
[07:13] <Xacarith> Just installed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre but java is still telling me that I don't have the latest version, that I have version 1.4.2 instead
[07:13] <MasterShrek> kye, yes
[07:13] <lisa_potter> I'm indonesian so i can't understand english verywell
[07:13] <bluefoxx> how do i change my alias-password?
[07:13] <ageorge> teknofreak, tried checking it off and on, no change
[07:13] <MasterShrek> kye, youll choose from the login screen
[07:13] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, no need to restart, this is linux
[07:13] <nickrud> kye, between kde and gnome , yes. kdm is an alternate login screen
[07:13] <lucian> bluefoxx: yes... it does take a very long time doing it that way

[07:14] <teKnofreak> ageorge, there is a combination of off and on settings that *might* work
[07:14] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, do as the readme states, (but add sudo to the beginning): "sudo modprobe asus_oled"
[07:14] <nickrud> Xacarith, then run sudo update-alternatives --config java , look for the one with sun in the path and choose that one
[07:14] <zeptin> is it possible to manually copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to another location, and restore it after reinstalling ubuntu? aptoncd isn't working for me, and i don't want to lose the packages i've downloaded :-/
[07:14] <kye> so the difference between distros is just KDE AND GNOME when it comes to kubuntu and ubuntu?
[07:15] <MasterShrek> zeptin, cp -r /path/to/source /path/to/destination
[07:15] <nickrud> zeptin, yes, that works fine
[07:15] <lisa_potter> Yes
[07:15] <lucian> bluefoxx: well... if you have another pc and a router or cross-cable you can back-up via ethernet...
[07:15] <zeptin> ah, thanks
[07:15] <MasterShrek> kye, yes, thats about it, the desktop environment and the default programs
[07:15] <nickrud> kye, yes
[07:15] <ageorge> teKnofreak, what does that mena?
[07:15] <ageorge> mean?
[07:16] <teKnofreak> ageorge, sometimes, from what i have experienced, what you see on alsamixer varies between sound cards and it doesn't work when some option(s) are turned On
[07:16] <bluefoxx> lucian: i wont have another computer until around the first week of january, when i am getting a ubuntu-box from someone off of craigslist[whee, im not the only ubuntu user in vancouverXD]

[07:17] <Xacarith> it is saying that I'm using 6 but java's verify test is coming back with the same thing.  That I'm using 1.4.2
[07:18] <bluefoxx> lisa_potter: a person who was caps-spamming earlier
[07:18] <Myrtti> Xacarith: you installed the plugin as well?
[07:18] <lisa_potter> I don't no ninda
[07:18] <nickrud> Xacarith, are you running 64bit java?
[07:18] <MasterShrek> Xacarith, good luck figuring out java's version schemes lol
[07:18] <nickrud> Xacarith, 64bit ubuntu, i mean

[07:19] <Xacarith> myrtti I thought I had, but it is possible I didn't et it right  I have managed to install java completely once, and it took four hours to figure out before
[07:19] <Xacarith> nickrud No
[07:19] <nickrud> Xacarith, and did you install sun-java6-plugin if you're on 32bit
[07:19] <pawan> hi

[07:20] <ageorge> teKnofreak, I've tried several differnet combinations of the switches, nothings worked
[07:20] <teKnofreak> Xacarith, you installed sun-java6-* ?
[07:20] <bluefoxx> any vancouverites have some electronics they wanna get rid of?ill take them if you deliver them
[07:20] <nickrud> Xacarith, you don't want to use the sun bin, just get java from the repos
[07:20] <lucian> i did install sun-java6-* once... i had java links all over my menus :(
[07:20] <lisa_potter> Halloo..Q kok di cwekkin sich

[07:30] <soldats> mr_step, like gnome-power-manager
[07:30] <unagi> is there anything like garage band or fruity loops for linux?
[07:31] <sulle> i dont get sound when i play movies. where can i read about downloading codecs etc?
[07:31] <momal> Does anyone know how to change volume for just front speakers with 5.1? using alsa
[07:31] <sulle> on xmms my music works but not movies on vlc. gxine etc.
[07:31] <bluefoxx> mr_step: i think SYSTEM>PREFS>POWER MANAGMENT mayhaphs?im using ubuntu so im not sure though
[07:31] <lucian> momal: in terminal, type: alsamixer
[07:31] <soldats> mr_step, in xubuntu you can apt-get install gnome-power-manager
[07:32] <Silver_Fox> Hi guys, merry Christmas.  I have a bit of a problem.  I have Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop and I have a problem with headphones.  When I have sound on like music or a video, i plug in my headphones but the speakers on my laptop dont go off.  How can i make it so when i plug in my headphones, my speakers turn of and when i unplug them, they turn back on?
[07:32] <mr_step> bluefoxx: thanks, that's where it is for ubuntu - i'm trying out xubuntu for a media machine it's somewhere else :(
[07:32] <momal> lucian: there is not front or back in there :S
[07:32] <mr_step> thanks soldats
[07:32] <teKnofreak> Silver_Fox, switch off external amplifier to cut the speakers
[07:32] <sulle> i dont get sound when i play movies. where can i read about downloading codecs etc?. Vlc dont have sound but i got sound in xmms etc. what can i do?
[07:32] <bluefoxx> mr_step: no prob, once i get a faster net connection im gonna d/l all distros and use them all
[07:32]  * bluefoxx hate glorified dialup
[07:33] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey , i was able to install the driver and i checked as http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html states by running dmesg and also lsusb, but when i attempt to turn off the oled using 'sudo modprobe asus_oled start_off=1' nothing happens
[07:33] <Silver_Fox> teKnofreak,  i know, thats what i have to do every single time i plug or unplug my headphones, i want it automatic, its anoying.
[07:33] <mr_step> ouch.. dialup would be painful. happily my isp mirror's all of them for us.
[07:33] <teKnofreak> Silver_Fox, i started living with it ;)
[07:33] <Silver_Fox> teKnofreak,  you have it aswell?  can it be fixed though?
[07:34] <bluefoxx> Silver_Fox: thats something thats related to the hardware components, i know as i make my own speaker systems
[07:34] <teKnofreak> Silver_Fox, i haven't really tried to, as i always use headphones
[07:34] <lucian> Silver_Fox: your not the only one who has had that problem... unfortunately.. i dont have my logs anymore and can't remember the solution presented at the time.
[07:34] <timob> will trackerd search the contents of your web history like beagle does?
[07:34] <Silver_Fox> lucian,  dang, did u fix it though?
[07:35] <lucian> oh.. i've been meaning to ask, is this channel publicly logged (i.e. via web).
[07:35] <ruthbuzzard> hi what is the name of the archiving tool in ubuntu that would attach to your right click menu and you could do extract here not open with archive manger?
[07:35] <lucian> Silver_Fox: it wasn't my problem.. i was just reading the chat and someone solved it
[07:35] <lucian> thats all i remember
[07:35] <Silver_Fox> Oh, i forgot.  When i do turn off externap amp and use my headphones, the sound quality is horrible!
[07:35] <Myrtti> lucian: yes.
[07:35] <bluefoxx> it needs a special jack that trips a switch to override input to speakers

[07:35] <sulle> ruthbuzzard: yes
[07:35] <nickrud> lol, and your kids will read it, so watch out
[07:35] <ruthbuzzard> thats why I can't find it with locate
[07:36] <sulle> ruthbuzzard: try without gnome ?
[07:36] <bluefoxx> Silver_Fox: if its a PC, try another sound card
[07:36] <bluefoxx> but be careful, older ones can skew your system
[07:36] <sulle> In vlc  i have no sound. but i have sound in xmms. What codec and where to get it ?. or what else can i do?. i use ubuntu.. need help :S
[07:36] <bluefoxx> mine had been crashing for the past week cause of a faulty card
[07:37] <Silver_Fox> bluefoxx,   its a pc.  The thing is, when i first got ubuntu, i had no problems.  Then when i reinstalled it like 5 months ago, the problem started.
[07:37] <bluefoxx> my SATA wasnt working, then today it messed with me IDE and USB  ports
[07:37] <lucian> Silver_Fox: sometimes it is just a glitch during installation. Have you tried re-installing?
[07:38] <Silver_Fox> lucian,  several times
[07:38] <Xacarith> nickrud foxfire is refusing to see the plugins it seems...
[07:38] <ruthbuzzard> sulle: are sure its not called something else cause I just browsed /usr/bin for archive manager and gnome archive manager
[07:38] <bluefoxx> i was comfused for hours, i refused to remove it at first, i am an audiophile as well as a geek
[07:38] <bluefoxx> confused*
[07:38] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey are you still here? i needed some help as i was able to install the driver but using that command of modprobe did not do anything
[07:38] <ruthbuzzard> or was it ark
[07:38] <pvl1> how do i find out what version X i have?
[07:38] <sulle> ark and archive i got em both.
[07:38] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, one sec
[07:39] <sulle> man x ?
[07:39] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey ok please let me know when you get back
[07:39] <Silver_Fox> So, theres nothing i can do...
[07:39] <Xacarith> I'm talking to some one no longer here...
[07:40] <Xacarith> I'm giving up on java for today
[07:40] <amoo> hi
[07:40] <moDumass> hey all, i opened alien arena for about a minute now im stuck in a compiz free wrong screen res hell
[07:40] <Silver_Fox> Does anyone know of any good mmolrpgs for ubuntu?

[07:40] <nickrud> darn, can't even go to the bathroom
[07:41] <amoo> everybody how r u
[07:41]  * bluefoxx hates ingrown toenails
[07:41] <nickrud> amputation solves that issue
[07:41] <RoshanK> bluefoxx just get it operated on, it really helps
[07:41] <jschitto> i found a big toenail in a mcdonalds hamburger once
[07:41] <pawan> how to install equilizer for audacious
[07:41] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, try this:   sudo echo "options asus_oled start_off=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/asus_oled
[07:41] <pawan> http://gentoo-portage.com/media-plugins/eq-audacious
[07:42] <bluefoxx> lol, i will after xmas, i have been dealing with them since novemberish
[07:42] <jschitto> this is not gentto
[07:42] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, and then see if it turns off at your next boot.
[07:42] <bluefoxx> jschitto: ewwwwe
[07:42] <ruthbuzzard> sulle: is arc command line only?
[07:42] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey it said 'bash: /etc/modprobe.d/asus_oled: Permission denied'
[07:42] <jschitto> bluefoxx i have a pix if u want to see
[07:42] <soldats> ruthbuzzard, arch can run x as well
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> soldats, he meant arK
[07:43] <bluefoxx> jschitto: lol, photo-bucket them
[07:43] <sulle> ruthbuzzard: no it is not. but i am not good at linux so dont ask me :P
[07:43] <soldats> oh oh whoops misread
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> ruthbuzzard, arK is a KDE GUI, so no
[07:43] <nickrud> BHSPitMonkey, you need to use the format    echo "text" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file
[07:43] <jschitto> ok bluefoxx
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, sorry, see what nickrud just said
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> I goofed
[07:43] <RoshanK> ok
[07:43] <ruthbuzzard> sulle: also I have no archive in usr/bin
[07:43] <Silver_Fox> Are there any god mmorpg's for linux?
[07:44] <Silver_Fox> good*
[07:44] <ari_stress> hi guys, is there any similar program to save website files in ubuntu? just like a program called 'teleport' in windows?
[07:44] <BHSPitMonkey> nickrud, stupid bash, and its complexities :)
[07:44] <timob> wget
[07:44] <pawan> hello
[07:44] <pawan> pawan here

[07:44] <ari_stress> timob: any GUI interface for it?
[07:44] <sd132> Silver_Fox: secondlife
[07:44] <BHSPitMonkey> pawan, yes, we know :)
[07:44] <Silver_Fox> hi pawn
[07:44] <sulle> Riddick: then try it =)
[07:45] <nickrud> BHSPitMonkey, no kidding. Never could figure out how to do that, then when I saw it, it was another doh moment
[07:45] <timob> ari_stress, cant you use firefox .... maybe an extension or something
[07:45] <BHSPitMonkey> nickrud, yeah, I understand why
[07:45] <jschitto> playing world of warcraft makes you old and smelly
[07:45] <jschitto> fyi
[07:45] <Silver_Fox> sd132,  any fantasy online rpgs?
[07:45] <ruthbuzzard> sulle: got it was file roller
[07:45] <BHSPitMonkey> or young and unpopular
[07:45] <RoshanK> sorry guys but is this what i should be doing     'echo "options asus_oled start_off=1" |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/asus_oled'
[07:45] <MasterShrek> yea, but being a lvl 70 mage is worth it
[07:45] <ari_stress> timob: ok, i'm trying gnome-wget
[07:45] <sd132> Silver_Fox: not my type..sory
[07:45] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, yep
[07:45] <jschitto> playing mmorpg is for failure at life
[07:45] <HardDisk> Silver_Fox, not meaning to burst your bubble, but 1) try in #ubuntu-offtopic and 2) haven't you googled? there are websites dedicated to linux gaming.
[07:45] <jschitto> you play a game instead to make you fell good inside
[07:46] <nickrud> MasterShrek, that's nothing without your heroic crap
[07:46] <bluefoxx> jschitto: im a wow player, and im not old and smely or young and unpopular
[07:46] <jschitto> i dont believe you
[07:46] <MasterShrek> =P
[07:46] <Silver_Fox> HardDisk, ya, just havent found any good games
[07:46] <HardDisk> try to keep this room strictly to ubuntu troubleshooting issues.
[07:46] <bluefoxx> jschitto: i play MMOs fro fun, i get to chat with my friends while doing something else, lol
[07:46] <Silver_Fox> HardDisk,  thanks tho
[07:47] <jschitto> popular people dont play mmorpgs
[07:47] <MasterShrek> Silver_Fox, google: linux mmorpg      wikipedia has a page on linux mmorpg's
[07:47] <HardDisk> jschitto, keep it in offtopic please.
[07:47] <bluefoxx> jschitto: says who?
[07:47] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey this is what i got back. so i should now restart ubuntu and see if it stays off right? http://pastebin.com/m286c7420
[07:47] <jschitto> sorry HardDisk, i thought i was
[07:47] <nickrud> popular people are too shallow for the complexities of mmorpg 's
[07:47] <Silver_Fox> jschitto, popular people also dont talk on ubuntu irc all day
[07:48] <brendonh> when I open "Applications > Add/Remove" and select update list, it never loads the new list - just keeps waiting - any ideas?
[07:48] <bluefoxx> jschitto: and i never said im popular[or unpopular], just young
[07:48] <nickrud> Silver_Fox, ding, ding, ding
[07:48] <jschitto> good observation Silver_Fox
[07:48] <Silver_Fox> MasterShrek,  thanks
[07:48] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, to confirm that it worked, do    cat /etc/modprobe.d/asus_oled     and see if it spits that options line back at you
[07:48] <Silver_Fox> lol
[07:48] <HardDisk> brendonh, I'd like you to sudo apt-get update in terminal and let me know what it does.
[07:48] <bluefoxx> jschitto: face it, anyone in this room is a geek to *some* degree
[07:48]  * MasterShrek is popular...
[07:48] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey yes it does
[07:48] <bluefoxx> im just a famous geek at my old highschool
[07:48] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, give it a go

[07:49] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[07:49] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:49] <BHSPitMonkey> HardDisk, you're a piece of machinery.
[07:50] <MasterShrek> Myrtti, they said im no fun in offtopic... :(
[07:50] <bluefoxx> machines are kewl
[07:50] <Myrth[home]> HardDisk: thanks, i'll try again
[07:50] <Silver_Fox> well, siya later geeks and nerd... Wait, what?
[07:50] <brendonh> [HardDisk] Thanks, that ran a whole lot of commands, seemed to be updating the list.  Will go back to the app list now and see what happens
[07:50] <bluefoxx> MasterShrek: lol
[07:50] <nickrud> Myrth[home], system->prefs->appearance, and on the themes tab, click customize
[07:50] <databits> hey can someone help me out with some problems I am having with new digital camera ?
[07:50] <jschitto> what ubuntu has subpixel fonts for PDF
[07:50] <Myrtti> MasterShrek: welcome anyway. Lets keep this channel for support
[07:50] <HardDisk> databits, not reading from the memory card?
[07:50] <MasterShrek> aight
[07:50] <MasterShrek> databits, what sort of problem?
[07:50] <jschitto> do i have to use acroread32
[07:51] <BHSPitMonkey> databits, maybe, if it's an ubuntu question :)
[07:51] <databits> harddisk, it is giving me a ptp error
[07:51] <HardDisk> databits, in terminal, sudo rmmod ehci_hcd   then once you're done do sudo modprobe ehci-hcd   notice the difference between _ and -
[07:51] <MasterShrek> jschitto, i dont think so, there are many pdf readers i think
[07:51] <databits> harddisk, hold on I will check and get the exact error
[07:51] <brendonh> [HardDisk] Perfect, thanks, that resolved it.  Will save the command for later reference
[07:51] <nickrud> jschitto, subpixel for lcd's, evince uses the usual cairo canvas
[07:51] <jschitto> MasterShrek: no i mean subpixel font rendering
[07:51] <bluefoxx> is it legal to copy DVDs to your harddisk if you paid for them?
[07:51] <jschitto> evince has no subpixel for me nickrud
[07:51] <HardDisk> brendonh, you can also do a manual upgrade of apps if any by sudo apt-get upgrade, check out ubuntuguide.org ubuntugeek.com and ubuntuhq.com
[07:52] <bluefoxx> out of curiosity.
[07:52] <jschitto> it is enabled for GNOME and KDE apps
[07:52] <MasterShrek> no idea...thats over my head, im not a pdf master...just a master of shreks...=P
[07:52] <HardDisk> bluefoxx, this isn't the channel to discuss this.
[07:52] <bluefoxx> HardDisk: well then wear?
[07:52] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey thank you so much. the oled finally started off and i have you to thank for all the help

[07:53] <databits> harddisk, all that did was did a removal for my usb harddisk
[07:53] <bluefoxx> kk
[07:53] <jschitto> nickrud: it is using some font mechanism different from the rest
[07:53] <jschitto> and also does KPDF
[07:53] <databits> harddisk , this is the error I am getting it notice that there is a camera hooked up but when I go to get the pictures off it it does this : PTP Invalid Object Handle
[07:54] <databits> if I keep retrying every once in a while it will work
[07:54] <databits> but most of the time it gives me that error
[07:54] <nickrud> jschitto, could be, it's decended from xpdf iirc
[07:54] <nickrud> *descended
[07:54] <jschitto> xpdf give me no subpixels too
[07:55] <Clusty> hey
[07:55] <databits> harddisk, did you see my msg ?
[07:55] <HardDisk> databits, did you run the command I said?
[07:55] <databits> yes I did
[07:55] <databits> didn't do anything
[07:55] <Clusty> are the broadcom wireless cards generally suported under linux?
[07:55] <HardDisk> what camera is it?
[07:55] <RoshanK> i remember i used to hold a shortcut to get a dialog box into which i could enter the name of the program to start it up, ex firefox, but i forgot what the shortcut was
[07:55] <databits> harddisk, just unmounted and remounted my drive
[07:55] <Clusty> know in the past they had horible support
[07:55] <HardDisk> Clusty, yes.
[07:55] <RoshanK> i think it had ctrl or f2 or something
[07:55] <databits> harddisk, it is a fuji finepix 480
[07:55] <pawan> how to install google earth bin file
[07:55] <RoshanK> anyone know?

[07:56] <databits> sorry
[07:56] <HardDisk> pawan, http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
[07:56] <Clusty> HardDisk: without ndiswrapper?
[07:56] <astro76> pawan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[07:56] <HardDisk> Clusty, there is a bcm driver you may try
[07:56] <pawan> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[07:56] <pawan> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[07:56] <pawan> Select a character coding from the menu and try again.
[07:56] <HardDisk> Clusty, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:56] <Clusty> HardDisk: thanx
[07:56] <HardDisk> Clusty, as long as your chipset is supported.
[07:57] <Clusty> HardDisk: well its for futuire purchases :D
[07:57] <HardDisk> Clusty, np :)
[07:57] <lalala> ./google-earth.bin in terminal
[07:57] <Clusty> HardDisk: looking for a N router and i gotta get card with same chipset for best performance
[07:57] <databits> harddisk, any idea's ?
[07:57] <HardDisk> I'm thinking databits, gimme a sec
[07:57] <Clusty> HardDisk: way more bradcom routers than atheros
[07:58] <bluefoxx> is there a driver for the new linksys wireless-n PCI card yet?i want to get it as it shall suit my needs for faster internet
[07:58] <databits> harddisk, ok thank you appreciate do you by chance happen to have pidgin or gaim s/n so I don't have to keep sorting threw all this clutter bro ?
[07:58] <Clusty> bluefoxx: what cipset is card?
[07:58] <bluefoxx> i dont know
[07:58] <Clusty> bluefoxx: gimme model #
[07:59] <bluefoxx> i didnt buy it yet, itsa 150$
[07:59] <HardDisk> databits, what you need is check your camera settings for "pc mode" if there is one.
[07:59] <lalala> pawan: ./file-name.bin in terminal
[07:59] <HardDisk> databits, some cameras like my olympus has that
[07:59] <RoshanK> nvm i got it, the command was alt + f2
[07:59] <Clusty> bluefoxx: some more specific info could help
[08:00] <bluefoxx> Clusty: google it>http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=linksys+wireless+n+pci&go
[08:00] <Clusty> pawan: make sure file is executable: chmod u+x file.bin
[08:00] <HardDisk> bluefoxx, since you didn't buy it yet, get a wifi card that is already supported.
[08:00] <databits> harddisk, like I said it works sometimes and others it dosn't if I keep turning the camera on and off it will eventually pop all the shit on right up but the other times it gives me that error in linux
[08:00] <HardDisk> databits, I know this error on some camera's, unfortunately this is a HAL issue, to but it bluntly, it's a known bug.
[08:00] <databits> harddisk, when I have it hook to my lix box my camera says USB on the screen
[08:00] <HardDisk> to put*
[08:01] <HardDisk> bluefoxx, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[08:01] <RoshanK> bluefoxx any idea on how to get googletalk to work in ubuntu (im not talking about just the protocol but the prgram itself, particularly for the mail updates and call feature
[08:01] <HardDisk> pick out a wifi card that is already supported, if you don't want any hassle.
[08:01] <databits> harddisk, so I am pretty much SOL then eh
[08:01] <bluefoxx> well i want to get this one as i plan to modifey the antenna to increase the range, and this one would be the best suited to do so with without voiding the warrenty noticibly
[08:01] <HardDisk> databits, as far as I know, sorry mate.
[08:02] <HardDisk> bluefoxx, there are cards with removable wifi antennas.
[08:02] <HardDisk> anyway moving on.
[08:02] <jschitto> my wobbly windows misbehave with the snapping
[08:02] <databits> harddisk, man that is crappy see I want to learn the whole linux thing I am still kinda new with it only been running for a month aprox now but I need to be able to have all this crap working should probably go back to windows for now till i can get a new box built eh
[08:03] <databits> harddisk, thanks anyways bro appreciate
[08:03] <bluefoxx> i know that, but this one is best suited to my needs, it has the cable and a base for the antennas thus all i need to do is make the dish

[08:06] <Bad> <- rolling eyes @ NeoGeo64 ;-)
[08:06] <ari_stress> NeoGeo64: maybe it's your graphics card problem

[08:07] <ari_stress> HardDisk: what's that?
[08:07]  * NeoGeo64 picks his fingernail and flicks it ari_stress
[08:07] <HardDisk> he's a regular pain.
[08:07] <HardDisk> :)
[08:07] <nickrud> on a regular basis
[08:07] <NeoGeo64> no im not.
[08:08] <MasterShrek> lalala, having trouple trying to figure out what you are asking
[08:08] <NeoGeo64> that wasnt nice...
[08:08] <ari_stress> NeoGeo64: sounds like a video game fans
[08:09] <NeoGeo64> yeah i like the oldschool neogeo system
[08:09] <lalala> mastershrek: nautilus stoped showing icons of lan shares after the last update, but network is working ok
[08:09] <moDumass> man, this blows, i cant get my propper screen res or compiz back
[08:09] <moDumass> i played alien arena and now BAM, all pair shaped
[08:10] <MasterShrek> lalala, ive never really had good luck with nautilus and network shares, unless the network shares were mounted
[08:10] <RoshanK> MasterShrek could you help me a bit with echo or something
[08:10] <ari_stress> lalala: you mean now there's no "network server" icon in nautilus?
[08:10] <lalala> mastershrek: :P
[08:11] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, with echo?   echo --help
[08:11] <NeoGeo64> can ubutnu share files on a network with an xp machine?
[08:11] <MasterShrek> NeoGeo64, no
[08:11] <lalala> ari_stress: there is but when i press it nothing shows up
[08:11] <NeoGeo64> seriously?
[08:11] <Bad> NeoGeo64: No (seriously) :-)
[08:11] <marsmissions> NeoGeo64: that functionality is only present in advanced software like OS X
[08:11] <gcc> hey all, i'm having some trouble with figuring out the right way to configure a rather exotic network, anybody have a few minutes?
[08:11] <ari_stress> lalala: maybe you don't have smbclient package installed
[08:11] <rdvon> I was going to take out my second hdd with ubuntu installed, But I was wondering if that would ruin the grub configuration?
[08:11] <rdvon> I kind of want to get rid of all of that.
[08:11] <wols> please folks, all ignore the troll
[08:11] <moDumass> NeoGeo64, im pretty sure you can
[08:12] <wols> !ask | gcc
[08:12] <ubotu> gcc: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:12] <NeoGeo64> im not trolling
[08:12] <RoshanK> MasterShrek in the bottom most section titles usage http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html i was wondering how i would edit the file asus_oled_picture ( i have the path) but to put in code such as this http://pastebin.com/m747dab07
[08:12] <lalala> ari_stress: when i enter the path manually it works ok etc. smb://machine-name/share/
[08:12] <slyder> when i move my mouse to the top left corner it activates a compiz plugin i think it's expo, how can i turn that off?
[08:12] <ari_stress> rdvon: if your second hdd is not used by ubuntu, it will be ok
[08:12] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, without me looking at the links, do you have write access to what you are trying to do? use sudo
[08:12] <lalala> r
[08:12] <RoshanK> ok
[08:13] <ari_stress> lalala: oh that sounds nautilus cache is giving trouble again
[08:13] <rdvon> rdvon: it is used by ubuntu. that's sort of been my ubuntu hdd.
[08:13] <rdvon> ...
[08:13] <RoshanK> well so i would use sudo and then echo, but how do i put that many lines into it?
[08:13] <RoshanK> or do i not use echo
[08:13] <lalala> ari_stress: it worked ok for the last 4 months but stoped after the last update before 2 days
[08:13] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, what is the command you are putting in?
[08:13] <gcc> lol. k, im setting up a simulated network environment using virtualbox, but its too large to run on a single machine. as a result, i need to be able to hook several virtual machines together in some pretty strange ways. the tough part is (so far) that I need the virtual machines to not be able to see or communicate with the physical machines on the network
[08:14] <ari_stress> lalala: just close nautilus, and restart, nautilus will search the network again after reboot
[08:14] <RoshanK> its in the pastebin link
[08:14] <wols> gcc: use bridgded networking. all in the same subnet then
[08:14] <lalala> ari_stress: i did it so many times :P
[08:14] <ari_stress> lalala: i find that troubling too. nautilus has a strange way to cache network
[08:14] <ari_stress> lalala: oh :(
[08:14] <RoshanK> MasterShrek, its in the pastebin link and its a bit long
[08:14] <MasterShrek> ok RoshanK looking now...
[08:15] <MasterShrek> my net is really slow so bear with me
[08:15] <gcc> wols: correct me if I'm wrong- i am most emphatically not a networking guy- couldn't a virtual host then claim an ip on the physical network and recieve its traffic?
[08:15] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, that looks like ascii art to me
[08:15] <RoshanK> yes
[08:15] <lalala> ari_stress: the last update has something from kernel and samba if i remember :/
[08:15] <ari_stress> lalala: then maybe you can use "connect to server" menu in nautilus, to prevent browsing the network
[08:15] <MasterShrek> well thats not really a command
[08:15] <wols> gcc: depends what the brdige lts through
[08:15] <MasterShrek> in fact not at all
[08:16] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, just make your file in a text editor, save it, and copy it over the existing picture file
[08:16] <RoshanK> MasterShrek as stated in the first link that i gave ( http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html ) i would have to enter in the format <M:WxH> followed by the 0s and 1s
[08:16] <RoshanK> ok
[08:16] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, and yes, it is ASCII art
[08:16] <BHSPitMonkey> literally drawing your picture with 1's
[08:16] <m1k3> I need help, when ever I try to run ANY exe with wine, my computer freezes
[08:17] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, ic, well yea just put sudo before echo, youll need write privildeges to it i assume
[08:17] <gcc> wols: thank you, that appears to be what I needed.
[08:17] <lalala> ari_stress: i can work with shares if i put the path manually in nautilus, but im trying to find why doesnt show the icons automatic :/
[08:17] <moDumass> !resolution
[08:17] <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
[08:17] <MasterShrek> lol @ m1k3, damn windows programs eh?
[08:18] <m1k3> MasterShrek, I just installed a new dvd burner and RAM that's when it started freezing
[08:18] <MasterShrek> RoshanK, also use sudo before the cat command
[08:18] <slyder> anyone know how to stop this plugin from activating when i go to the upper left corner?
[08:18] <fbn> Hi, will a 802.11n WLAN card work with Ubuntu 7.10?
[08:18] <lalala> dam updates every time something brokes :/
[08:18] <MasterShrek> m1k3, could be an issue with the ram, but i kinda doubt it
[08:18] <wols> fbn: depends on the chipset
[08:18] <MasterShrek> slyder, install compizconfig-settings-manager and disable it
[08:19] <slyder> tried that MasterShrek
[08:19] <MasterShrek> !latest | lalala
[08:19] <ubotu> lalala: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:19] <fbn> wols: it's a card from Intel, at least that's what Dell says
[08:19] <MasterShrek> slyder, its gotta be in there somewhere, there are tons of options
[08:19] <wols> fbn: brandname is not chipset
[08:19] <slyder> won't let me disable the expo plugin and also when checking what activates it says nothing about activating on screen edge
[08:19] <m1k3> MasterShrek, is there some way I can configure wine with this RAM?
[08:20] <lalala> :)
[08:20] <rdvon> Sorry if this is the wrong channel.. couldn't resist posting these screens of hardy heron! http://www.techlicious.name.my/2007/12/21/ubuntu-804/
[08:20] <wols> fbn: but considering there is no -n standard yet...
[08:20] <m1k3> MasterShrek, maybe the ram isn
[08:20] <m1k3> t sompatible with wine
[08:20] <renyi> test
[08:20] <MasterShrek> m1k3, i dont know, i really honestly cant see wine crashing because of new ram, that doesnt really sound right to me
[08:20] <renyi> hello everyone
[08:20] <lalala> i will remove all computer from internet so i can have my stability :P
[08:20] <MasterShrek> renyi, failed
[08:20] <wols> m1k3: maybe the ram wasn't installed right or is defective. very easily possible. use memtest
[08:20] <MasterShrek> =P
[08:21] <MasterShrek> ah good idea wols
[08:21] <fbn> wols: it's a INTENSIFI from broadcom.
[08:21] <renyi> 有中国人吗？
[08:21] <RoshanK> so BHSPitMonkey or MasterShrek if the txt file was stored in '/home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt' then would the command to use be       sudo echo /home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt > /home/roshan/Desktop/asus_oled-0.02/linux.txt       ?
[08:21] <fbn> wols: but that's still not the chipset, is it?
[08:21] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, no, this isn't really a situation for echo and pipes
[08:21] <wols> fbn: no. and it can't be both from intel and broadcom at the same time. intels are fairly well supported, broadcoms aren't
[08:22] <wols> fbn: lspci
[08:22] <gcc> wols: real quick, i'm in over my head here, do you know of a gentle intro to bridging?
[08:22] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, "sudo cp ~/Desktop/asus-oled-0.02/linux.txt /path/to/asus/picture/file"
[08:22] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey so what would I have to do? I can't simply paste a file in there apparently for some reason and it says file is write only
[08:22] <RoshanK> yok
[08:22] <jxxxt> fbn, broadcom does not have a good history especially as a laptop card
[08:22] <wols> gcc: bridging howto
[08:22] <lalala> and with the latest uptates im forced to use compiz couse i have more FPS than with out it :P
[08:22] <fbn> wols: I don't have that hardware yet - I'm considering buying one or not because of support in Ubuntu
[08:22]  * MasterShrek is out, nite every1
[08:23] <fbn> jxxxt: ok good to know thanks
[08:23] <RoshanK> gnite mastershrek
[08:23] <wols> fbn: then I'd google for the model you want and its linux support
[08:23] <fbn> wols: ok will do that, thank you
[08:24] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, look at the second-to-last paragraph of the readme
[08:24] <databits> harddisk, hey do you or does anyone else here know how I would go about fully delting and freeing up space on a ntfs drive from within linux
[08:24] <databits> it is a portable drive that I normaly have hookedup to my computer upstairs but I have a ton of files I had to get off this computer so I could reload
[08:25] <wols> !ntfs-3g
[08:25] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:25] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey thank you i will try that
[08:25] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, it advises how you should write to it;   Before doing that command, become root by typing "sudo -i" and hitting enter.
[08:25] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, if you do it their way.  My way might not work.
[08:25] <jgoo> OK - what *is* the bit torrent application that firefox is using on a default install of gutsy??
[08:25] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey well where foo.txt is i assume i have to have the directory and location of the txt file right
[08:26] <jgoo> Yes, torrents work - no I don't like this app and I am trying to find out where it caches the torrent files, and why isn't there a list of current sessions...
[08:26] <HardDisk> databits, yea you can do that normally. with ntfs-3g
[08:26] <jgoo> Anyone use this BitTorrent (default) handler for torrents?
[08:26] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, foo.txt is the file you've typed your 1's and 0's in, yes
[08:26] <HardDisk> jgoo, you should be using www.deluge-torrent.org :)
[08:26] <gcc> jgoo: i do, or ktorrent
[08:27] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, and you need to have found out where asus_oled_picture lives.  (Don't type .... like in the example)
[08:27] <jgoo> Thanks HardDisk, that answers my second question! however, I have two 90% done torrents, and piratebay is giving a 500 server error!
[08:27] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey yes thank you i had the addess from the command he gave earlier in which to find
[08:27] <jgoo> gcc: what is the default handler then? and I did a find . | grep torrent and didn't find any cached files in my home directory
[08:28] <ruefrag_> later all
[08:28] <jgoo> however, when I reclick the piratebay link - it says if I want to resume session - so *somewhere* it knows
[08:28] <jgoo> why it negelects to let me resume without revisiting the original url... :(
[08:29] <gcc> jgoo: bittorrent is default, im not understanding if you're having an issue w/TPB or BT
[08:29] <jgoo> gcc: any ideas on where to find the .torrent? I made a clear note to download the files themselves from now on, but these two torrents are bothering me now
[08:29] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, try /tmp
[08:29] <jgoo> gcc: 'bittorrent' is the name of the software that handles the bittorrent protocol?
[08:29] <jgoo> (be default on ff on gutsy)
[08:29] <gcc> check /tmp, or ~/downloads if you use it
[08:29] <jgoo> I'll check tmp, good idea
[08:30] <gcc> jgoo: bittorrent is the canonical implementation, yes
[08:30] <jgoo> hrm there is a tracker file here
[08:30] <jgoo> how can I launch the canonical bittorrent application, and does it have an interface that shows current torrents?
[08:30] <gcc> double click on the torrent file
[08:31] <jgoo> and therein lies the rub
[08:31] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey , when i enter      sudo -i cat /Desktop/asus-oled-0.02/linux.txt > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb7/7-6/7-6:1.0/asus_oled_picture          it tells me cannot execute binary file, and if i don't include the -i it says it cannot find the file even the it's right there
[08:31] <RoshanK> h/o i will pastebin whats in terminal to make it easier
[08:31] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, you enter "sudo -i", hit enter, then you will be at a root prompt
[08:31] <jgoo> the torrent file is a non-entity seeking political asylum in some backwater cache on my computer system, no idea where it is :/
[08:32] <gcc> jgoo: interesting. tracker wont turn it up?
[08:32] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, sudo updatedb, locate .torrent
[08:32] <BHSPitMonkey> might need to install locate first
[08:33] <jgoo> gcc: if I reclick the link in FF it does - but how can I get the app to launch and resume without finding the torrent files (or reclicking them, pb has a 500 error right now) or how can I find the cached torrent files?
[08:33] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey i did that but now it tells me no such file or directory
[08:34] <jgoo> gcc: there is no central ui for bittorrent? like utorrent?
[08:34] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey: I even included /home/Roshan right before the entire line of /Desktop
[08:34] <gcc> jgoo: crtl+y in firefox, right click the torrent, then select open containing folder
[08:34] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey: but it still says no such file or directory for the .txt file
[08:34] <jgoo> downloads is empty (machine is restarted)
[08:34] <Jordan_U> !bittorent | jgoo
[08:34] <ubotu> jgoo: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[08:35] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, then you've got it wrong
[08:35] <RoshanK> how so?
[08:35] <gcc> jgoo: well bt has an interface, but not a cool one. i'd use ktorrent; some say its fugly though
[08:35] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, you can try re-entering that file path, using TAB to finish each folder and file name for you along the way
[08:35] <jgoo> however, as I said, the last time this happened, reclicking the link brings up bittorrent dialog asking if I want to resume, and that was *after* I had restarted once before... so I figure it must know what it is in the middle of downloading, so how can I just 'run the bit torrent app'
[08:35] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey, ok
[08:36] <jgoo> gcc: what is that interface? bttrack? runbt? gobt? teambt? btFTW?
[08:36] <gcc> jgoo: you can just call bittorrent at the terminal, if you use bittorrent, and if im spelling it correctly
[08:37] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, get deluge
[08:37] <jgoo> I only get 'bitmap' command completion on that, it was the first thing I tried
[08:37] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, it's bt something
[08:37] <jgoo> BHSPitMonkey: I will, but first I have two incomplete torrents, and piratebay giving a 500 error :(
[08:37] <astro76> jgoo, tab complete on bt
[08:37] <jgoo> I did
[08:37] <jgoo> then tried bttrack, btreannounce etc
[08:37] <jgoo> but they all take arguments
[08:38] <antok> hello
[08:40] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey yes you were right, i accidentally entered a hyphen instead of an underscore (d'oh) thank you very much
[08:40] <BHSPitMonkey> heh
[08:40] <jgoo> they should really give 'bittorrent' a name, the canonical version that is, so it can at least be talked about in context. even if we call it canonical-bittorrent-client
[08:41] <tarelerulz> Is there a Ubuntu  media chat room that talk about media players and related subjects?
[08:41] <gcc> jgoo: yeah, just grab a client, from what I'm seeing the client invocation is a little arcane, as its designed to be run when a browser encounters the right mime type
[08:41] <gcc> or by a double click
[08:42] <jgoo> ok, I will wait for pirate bay to come back up, so I can 'regrab' the .torrent files (I have no idea how it knows to resume after that... but it works) and then use deluge torrent for subsequent torrents, cheers
[08:43] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey btw i was wondering why ctrl V won't paste in terminal. is there a different shortcut or do i have to right click and paste
[08:43] <sam_> can someone help me install gparted?
[08:43] <jgoo> RoshanK: that is a very good question
[08:43] <tarelerulz> Gcc what  Do you use for a bit torrent client ?
[08:44] <jgoo> RoshanK: try shift-ctrl-v
[08:44] <kurt> ibought civilization for linux, but cannot install it, it says unsupported platform : setup/printlibc:3 function not found
[08:44] <RoshanK> jgoo thank you it works
[08:44] <kurt> so what now
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, that does something else entirely in a terminal;  So you know, CTRL+C kills a program you're running in that terminal.
[08:44] <m1k3> Anybody know why wine freezes when I try to open exe's?
[08:44] <brendonh> Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command).  When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed
[08:44] <m1k3> My whole computer locks up
[08:44] <jgoo> RoshanK: I think it is a conspiracy... what does ctrl-v do if shift-ctrl-v pastes?
[08:45] <RoshanK> BHSPitMonkey thank you. so i guess i would have to hold shift along with ctrl c to copy as well
[08:45] <BHSPitMonkey> RoshanK, even more handy:  just highlight some text somewhere, and middle-click somewhere else to paste it.
[08:45] <RoshanK> ok
[08:45] <RoshanK> that works
[08:45] <jgoo> BHSPitMonkey: hehe. actually that is a good point. ctrl-c would be a pain if you started using it reflexively in terminal
[08:45] <jgoo> BHSPitMonkey: not as handy, only works for 'terminal' clipboard
[08:45] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, probably the cause of many a /quit
[08:46] <jgoo> doesn't work for other clipboards
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> jgoo, it works throughout X
[08:46] <jgoo> oh yeah, my bad
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> so it's arguably more handy
[08:46] <jgoo> it is indeed, double plus handy.
[08:46] <BHSPitMonkey> though it can be annoying at times, like when you have to highlight something you're trying to replace.
[08:47] <brendonh> Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command).  When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed
[08:47] <BHSPitMonkey> then you have to either use backspace, or highlight-delete-rehighlight-paste
[08:47] <jgoo> actually, this is the first thing I tried to stop on my other system
[08:47] <jgoo> kept pasting url's into the middle of source code in emacs...
[08:47] <m1k3> I need help, when I try running an exe with wine, my computer locks up, this happened when I installed a new dvd burner and some RAM ddr pc3200 1gig
[08:47] <dn4> what type of plugin do I need to see what is at the bottom of this website http://www.leachintl2.com/english/english2/vol6/properties/how7.htm
[08:48] <gcc> m1k3: define locks up?
[08:48] <m1k3> gcc, mouse doesn't move no response from keyboard and it my pc freezes
[08:48] <BHSPitMonkey> bed time.  (long past due)
[08:48] <gcc> m1k3: crtl+alt+bkspc?
[08:48] <m1k3> can't
[08:49] <BHSPitMonkey> good luck with your laptop and with ubuntu RoshanK
[08:49] <m1k3> gcc, my computer freezes
[08:49] <sam_> can someone tell me how to use gparted
[08:49] <RoshanK> thank you so much BHSPitMonkey
[08:49] <gcc> m1k3: are you running compiz?
[08:49] <m1k3> gcc, nope
[08:49] <RoshanK> sam_ gparted i know of was a live cd
[08:49] <gcc> m1k3: what app?
[08:49] <sam_> roshank: you can download it as well with add/remove programs
[08:49] <m1k3> gcc, everything, notepad, configuration etc
[08:50] <sam_> roshank do i use it through terminal?
[08:50] <RoshanK> sam_ i don't know, i have only used it through the livecd
[08:50] <gcc> m1k3: run wine from the terminal and see what output you get before it dies.
[08:50] <gcc> might want to have a pen handy
[08:50] <m1k3> gcc, tried that already :(
[08:50] <brendonh> Anybody? Using Gutsy, Add/Remove Applications doesn't update (unless I use terminal command).  When I go to Apply new applications, the timer runs but nothing is downloaded or installed
[08:50] <sam_> roshank: :(
[08:50] <gcc> m1k3: what do you get?
[08:51] <m1k3> gcc, I typed wine cmd.exe
[08:51] <m1k3> Let me see again
[08:51] <jgoo> yey piratebay is back up
[08:51] <RoshanK> sam_ i'm still new at this i suggest you ask someone else. sorry
[08:51] <renyi> brendonh you can use synipics
[08:51] <gcc> brendonh: at terminal sudo apt-get update
[08:52] <renyi> or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:52] <brendonh> renyi - that works.  When I go back to the list it is up-to-date, but I can't download any new applications
[08:53] <jgoo> so, I click on the links, and it resumes session, and then I see the torrent files have been newly placed back into the /tmp folder - so it puzzles me how it can know to resume the session, but not have a way of doing so without a prodding
[08:53] <jxxxt> mlk3, when I do that all I get is the version and location
[08:53] <renyi> so maybe your apt sources had a problem
[08:53] <gcc> jgoo: its a torrent, it can track chunking. thats how torrent works
[08:53] <brendonh> renyi - how would I check sources?
[08:54] <renyi> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:54] <renyi> then you can run "apt-get update"
[08:55] <renyi> that's ok if no problem reported
[08:55] <jgoo> gcc: yes, but it would have to keep a record of where locally it was saving a file, and which torrent that file was... and if it knows all this, why can't it tell me (that is my reasoning). Of course it must know it - but I found it hard to imagine it could know and not tell me *sulk*
[08:56] <brendonh> renyi - I get a sources list.  I can then update the list.  When I select apps to install, they do not download
[08:56] <jxxxt> mlk3, Did you check with #winehg to see if they could help??
[08:56] <gcc> jgoo: to know and not to ponder, to see and not to wonder...
[08:56] <jxxxt> winehq
[08:57] <chazco> Hi... how can I force Nautilus to re-read all the mime-info?
[08:57] <chazco> killall nautilus does it, but doesnt seem like the best way
[08:58] <brendonh> renyi - I also cannot close the add/remove window - it just hangs
[08:58] <jgoo> chazco: would this be related to changing the application that handles certain file types? like 7zip handling rar files?
[08:58] <cwe_sby> #surabaya
[08:59] <chazco> It would be related to that sort of thing yes (.tmd and .pmd formats)
[08:59] <DragonSpirit> does the ubuntu monthly calendar still work, I was trying to add it to my desktop backgrounds by installing the package, I did what it said on the docs online and looked in desktop backgrounds and didn't see the option in there
[08:59] <chazco> I've made a script and a .deb which can changed them, but to make them take effect I have to restart Nautilus
[08:59] <jgoo> ah ok. I want to have 7zip show up on context menu... installed and it didn't, nor did it show up in application list... :-/
[08:59] <gcc> i need to hang out here more often. i was starting to think i knew how to do most things in ubuntu.
[08:59] <tyler2435> lol.
[09:00] <chazco> Assosiations in Ubuntu are tricky :)
[09:00] <renyi> if hangs so you sources may too slowly to download ,change another
[09:01] <sam_> roshank: are you still there?
[09:01] <brendonh> renyi - I am monitoring my internet connection - there is absolutely no traffic from the ubuntu box
[09:01] <sam_> roshank: im burning the live cd for gparted nw
[09:01] <brendonh> renyi - how would I change the source
[09:02] <renyi> I  sending to you

[09:07] <RoshanK> sam_ im sorry i was away im back now
[09:07] <RoshanK> sam_ do you need any help with gparted live cd?
[09:08] <brendonh> renyi - synaptic works - files are listed and downloaded, but Add/Remove does not
[09:09] <jxxxt> Roshank, He started burning seven minutes ago
[09:10] <jgoo> 加入了 == joins? heh. awesome, fun and learning on #ubuntu
[09:10] <renyi> sorry,never seen this
[09:11] <hahahah> sorry had to reconnect
[09:11] <renyi> and i think that's impossible because synaptic works
[09:12] <renyi> so your software database is good
[09:15] <brendonh> renyi - looking @ the forums - seems to happen when you run the add/remove without a working internet connection - it comments out the sources
[09:17] <renyi> ^_^

[09:20] <MidnightCommando> hi, i just loaded 7.10. it did not offer to install a bootloader, like other distributions i am accustomed to.
[09:20] <wathek> I've some problem with my Ubuntu 7.10 I've installed it on a Sata Disk and sometimes it freezes ! and I've to press the reset button
[09:21] <gator__> hola
[09:21] <MidnightCommando> how should I go about preparing a grub or lilo bootloader so that the windows partition is usable?
[09:21] <Alchera> dn4: that's an autodesk format
[09:21] <dn4> Alchera, how do I get it?
[09:21] <dn4> Alchera, I kinda reallyyyyy want to see those displays
[09:21] <kaper> wathek, i have the same problem like u but i know my vga card have problem
[09:21] <naxa> i recently updated ubuntu and my vista disappeared from the grub menu! how can i get it back?
[09:21] <Alchera> http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=2404513
[09:22] <BernardB> How can I set up a static IP?
[09:22] <kaper> BernardB, $man interfaces
[09:22] <BernardB> kaper, ?
[09:23] <Pie-rate> does the logitech g15 work well in ubuntu? i'm thinking about getting one. some preliminary research shows that you can write scripts for the LCD, but i've found nothing on the 18 programmable keys
[09:23] <naxa> how can i make grub detect other operating systems?
[09:25] <RoshanK> Alchera can you help me with this http://pastebin.com/m7cbb8ebf   all i need to know is how i would edit that in the makefile
[09:25] <naxa> ah... it's christmas and night so noone helps here :)
[09:25] <kaper> naxa, i don't know but u can edit grub.conf manually it's not hard to understand. I'm new to linux also
[09:25] <RoshanK> kaper could you help me if you know ?
[09:26] <RoshanK> http://pastebin.com/m7cbb8ebf   all i need to know is how i would edit that in the makefile
[09:26] <wathek> kaper, huh ?! I've a PCI Express VGA card
[09:26] <xeper> Does anyone know of a workaround for getting adobe flash to work in firefox on an amd64 box?
[09:26] <jgoo> OK, this is an interesting issue: installed feisty on a machine with ati 9200, on default install, everything worked, included 3d desktops. then installed gutsy (clean, use all of disk) the display was burned looking, but a ctrl-alt-f1 and back fixed that, a few tweaks later, and it boots now, in 1400x900 but only using the middle of the screen, like it isn't wide screen, the pixel ratio is off or something.
[09:26] <kaper> wathek, no idea.
[09:26] <RoshanK> oh jgoo that does seem interesting
[09:27] <jgoo> Using 'change desktop resolution' doesn't help, but under administration, screens, if I just change the hz from 60 to 75, or back (75 to 60) it resets the display and goes widescreen...
[09:27] <wathek> kaper, it makes me mad I don't wanna run Win XP
[09:27] <wathek> :(
[09:27] <naxa> kaper: thanks
[09:27] <jgoo> RoshanK: ok, for a given value of 'interesting' :p
[09:27] <RoshanK> jgoo btw would you be able to help me with this? http://pastebin.com/m7cbb8ebf   all i need to know is how i would edit that in the makefile
[09:27] <wathek> kaper, and did you get some problem while trying to install it ?
 BernardB, $man interfaces
[09:27] <BernardB> What do you mean?
[09:27] <RoshanK> its tiny :)
[09:27] <xeper> Nobody?
[09:28] <jgoo> RoshanK: you want to know how you would edit the file?
[09:28] <jgoo> or how you would edit the file *from* a makefile?
[09:28] <RoshanK> jgoo: yeah just that one line where it tells me to change that line or something
[09:28] <kaper> wathek, yes but i booted to safe graphic mode then install no problem
[09:28] <jgoo> is the a file called 'Makefile'
[09:28] <kaper> BernardB, u use gnome?
[09:28] <jgoo> *there
[09:28] <naxa> xeper: for me it's working out of the box...
[09:29] <wathek> kaper, same for me too
[09:29] <BernardB> kaper, I do
[09:29] <naxa> xeper: sorry
[09:29] <BernardB> Ubuntu Gutsy
[09:29] <xeper> naxa: Are you on an amd64?
[09:29] <RoshanK> i dont know i cant even find the folder but im assuming that its downloaded
[09:29] <RoshanK> the thing is
[09:29] <kaper> BernardB, System >> administration>> network
[09:29] <RoshanK> im in the directory through terminal but cant go to it in gnome
[09:29] <RoshanK> its probably in some deep directory
[09:29] <RoshanK> i tried searching the system for it but nothing turns up
[09:30] <naxa> xeper: well, i am but i installed ubuntu in a normal 32 bit mode
[09:30] <Alchera> RoshanK: i'd imagine you'd simply search for the line INSTALL_MOD_DIR
[09:30] <menllyos> whats the difference between xchat irc and xchat gnome irc ? is it only the looks of the program ?
[09:30] <BernardB> kaper, what connection settings, do I have to use, when I want a static ip?
[09:31] <xeper> naxa: Ahhh okay, that could be the difference then.  I just got up and running with Ubuntu, and I used the 64-bit install.
[09:31] <wols> BernardB: man interfaces
[09:31] <RoshanK> but i dont know how to. you see in terminal im in that directory but i cant see it anywhere in nautilus since its not under Desktop or anything
[09:31] <Alchera> menllyos: xchat-gnome is a gnome irc client
[09:31] <naxa> xeper: oh i see... i would be happy to try but i didn't have the time
[09:31] <kaper> BernardB, select >>wired connection>> property
[09:31] <Alchera> xchat is windows/kde/gnome
[09:31] <wols> RoshanK: in terminal "pwd"
[09:32] <RoshanK> ?
[09:32] <wols> that tells you where you are and then you can nautilus to go there
[09:32] <RoshanK> ok thank you wols
[09:32] <wols> *can use
[09:32] <BernardB> wols, what does man interfaces, pretty new on this
[09:32] <wols> it does show you documentation
[09:32] <MidnightCommando> menllyos: xchat-gnome is a simplified version
[09:32] <MidnightCommando> not suitable for power users
[09:33] <BernardB> and kaper, I've navigated to where you described
[09:33] <menllyos> ok i kinda thought that since the regular xchat has much more options ...
[09:34] <RoshanK> jgoo and wols thank you im building the driver for my cam now
[09:34] <jgoo> nice, what cam is it? logitech webcam type? or some nice wxvga wifi night vision robocam?
[09:34] <MidnightCommando> menllyos: xchat-gnome follows the gnome philosophy of "don't confuse the idiots with too many functions"
[09:35] <MidnightCommando> xchat follows the philosophy of "be sane and carry a large stick"
[09:35] <RoshanK> jgoo the cam actually came with my laptop (an asus g2s)
[09:35] <menllyos> hehe
[09:35] <RoshanK> jgoo:its sort of integrated
[09:35] <MidnightCommando> menllyos: i'll talk to you later at some time probably, but not here
[09:35] <MidnightCommando> i may invite you to my chan at some point, but iĺl be peanuthorst - fair warning
[09:36] <menllyos> ?
[09:36] <RoshanK> jgoo if you're interested this is it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220185
[09:36] <jgoo> I see. I am looking for a low low cost wifi, small camera that can be mains powered - slightly different :)
[09:36] <Pie-rate> RoshanK: giev me g2s imo

[09:46] <kane77> boxemall, this channel is for gutsy, hardy is not supported yet (and won't be until april).. you might get help in #ubuntu+1
[09:46] <boxemall> thnx
[09:46] <gucci> it mite be concerning compiz
[09:46] <gucci> ?
[09:47] <kane77> lorbrito, I guess recovering password isn't possible, the only way is to brute force try all the possible passwods, but this can take long time...
[09:47] <lorbrito> ok,, i think i lose that archive
[09:47] <xeper> lorbrito: Do you have a windows box?
[09:47] <lorbrito> but thanks
[09:47] <lorbrito> yes
[09:47] <gucci> ineo
[09:47] <xeper> Try ELCOMSOFT's software suite.
[09:48] <xeper> It'll crack it for you.
[09:48] <gucci> xeper
[09:48] <tarelerulz> Do any of you rip your own dvd? to say a  xvid . ogg and so ? If so can you tag the movies like you do mp3s?
[09:48] <xeper> gucci: Yes?

[09:50] <Andycasss> how to run a sh file in  a terminal?
[09:50] <ke-> tarelerulz, you mean: do any of you rip in the scene? Ask someone scene-related instead, this is stupid
[09:50] <Andycasss> When i cd to a folder and use file name it just says cmd not found
[09:50] <pianissimon> is the file executable?
[09:50] <ke-> Andycasss, sh <file>
[09:50] <ompaul> Andycasss,  do ./file-name and what does it do
[09:50] <Andycasss> ke-: Thanks, that did the trick
[09:51] <ompaul> Andycasss, there are several ways to execute shell scripts
[09:52] <newbiee> How do change my account to admin so that i can do install do some change in comp...
[09:52] <tarelerulz> ke-: , I mean mp3 have meta tags on them  and I was wondering if movies and such have them too.  I ripped one of my own movies I  bout and I was wondering if I could add meta tags to  it .
[09:52] <ompaul> !sudo | newbiee
[09:52] <ubotu> newbiee: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:53] <ompaul> newbiee, don't try to install stuff off the internet until you are sure that it is not in the repos and then only install from source
[09:53] <lorbrito> when i try to install alien
[09:53] <lorbrito> its ask me for the cd
[09:53] <lorbrito> but i have it no anymore
[09:53] <lorbrito> i have to burn it again o what else can i do?
[09:55] <ompaul> lorbrito, first alien is not a clever way to do stuff, and second to remove the need for the cd do this: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list : in there put a # in front of the line that says CD (at the start of the list) then using the menu save quit and then do this :   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade : then you may get on with your life the system comes with 20k programs so alien should never be needed

[09:57] <ompaul> fyrestrtr, way behind there ;-) are you lagged? /me runs
[09:57]  * fyrestrtr blinks

[09:57]  * fyrestrtr needs coffee
[09:57] <ompaul> fyrestrtr, make me one too  ;-)
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> lorbrito: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> cream?
[09:58] <ompaul> lorbrito, do what I told you to do, then click on system - administration - synaptic and then search for whatever you want
[09:58] <ompaul> fyrestrtr, apt was demanding a CD please get that coffee ;-)
[09:58] <lorbrito> ok,,

[10:03] <fyrestrtr> a double shot of it could.

[10:11] <ramvi> [GUTSY] Is there a way to avoid being asked for keyring password every time I log in, return from sleep etc...?
[10:11] <kane77> my video stopped working, none of the video players play the file, it just shows purple noise.. (and it played the file fine a minute ago) this sometimes happens and I cannot find out how do I repair it (apart from restarting)
[10:11] <nandan> hi
[10:12] <chazco> hi.. anyone here ever manually created a .deb? I've made a few but want to make sure i've put the correct stuff in the control file...
[10:13] <ompaul> !checkinstall | chazco
[10:13] <ubotu> chazco: 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!
[10:13] <Pie-rate> ramvi: you should have a password for security
[10:13] <chazco> ompaul - checkinstall is only useful when you have source code / a makefile
[10:14] <rodgrech> hey guys.... has anyone managed to get ubuntu to run correctly on a toshiba M100
[10:14] <ompaul> chazco, I am of no use to you then - sorry about that
[10:14] <chazco> No problem, thanks anyway :)
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: what problem are you having?
[10:14] <rodgrech> IndyGunFreak: well im using the live cd atm to test it, but it seems not to detect the audio device
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: open a terminal and type "lspci" then enter, and see how it identifies your sound device.
[10:15] <rodgrech> ok stand by
[10:15] <ramvi> Pie-rate: I dont want the password for security
[10:16] <neville> Is it possible to start a seperate X session, without KDE running, and have a command like, say, wine /path/to/program/progname.exe tacked onto the end?
[10:16] <jimmio> could anyone here help me with an issue I've been having with JACK?
[10:17] <rodgrech> IndyGunFreak: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[10:17] <rodgrech> thats what comes up
[10:17] <ramvi> [GUTSY] Is there a way to avoid being asked for keyring password every time I log in, return from sleep etc...? I dont want the password for security.
[10:17] <IndyGunFreak> !intelhda | rodgrech , yeah, thats why
[10:17] <ubotu> rodgrech , yeah, thats why: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[10:18] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: i've had moderate success getting intelhda to work w/ the instructions at that link, but unfortunately, you can't run them till your installed.
[10:18] <rodgrech> if i get it working under the live cd, and then hit install. will the modifications transfer across
[10:18] <rodgrech> or would that make sence
[10:18] <jimmio> no, rodgrech
[10:18] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: ther's to much to do there to do on the live CD, not to mention it requires a couple restarts
[10:19] <naxa> my hp laptop has a built in webcam. how can i check the type of it and make it work?
[10:19] <rodgrech> gah ok... well in that case, ill take the plunge then come back in here and reget that link
[10:19] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: that what i would do, are you going to dual boot?
[10:20] <jimmio> anyone here doing multitrack recording? What do you suggest? Audacity is the only program I've really used for it, but it's being a pain...
[10:20] <rodgrech> im thinking about it, but im gonna have issues with the laptops vista install. since toshiba have an instal image
[10:20] <rodgrech> fucking
[10:21] <rodgrech> instead of a vista cd
[10:21] <rodgrech> buuut, i do have a toshiba OEM install cd from when my ex worked for toshiba
[10:21] <rodgrech> hopefully i can just dump my key into it
[10:22] <jgoo> lorbrito: what is the windows program?

[10:23] <rodgrech> oh, i love the way that the OS picked up that there has been a recall for my toshiba battery

[10:27] <rodgrech> hey when im making my partitian table (Sp) 20gb should be enough right?
[10:27] <rodgrech> for /
[10:27] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: yes. i would think so...
[10:27] <Amerio> rodgrech yeah enough
[10:28] <rodgrech> and a 2gb swap?
[10:28] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: how much ram do you have?
[10:28] <neville> Is it possible to start a seperate X session, without KDE running, and have a command like, say, wine /path/to/program/progname.exe tacked onto the end?
[10:28] <rodgrech> 1gb IndyGunFreak
[10:28] <Amerio> rodgrech 2gb swap is enough , but for me I have 5 GB
[10:28] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: rule of thumb for swap, 1.5-2x your ram
[10:28]  * IndyGunFreak has a 4gig swap
[10:29] <rodgrech> lol 2gb it is then
[10:29] <lorbrito> Amerio : but 5 GB make work hard to the hd
[10:29] <radien> mm... not wanting to sound dumb but is there a way to update ubuntu breezy through repositorys if so what one
[10:29] <IndyGunFreak> rodgrech: yeah, thats just a rule of thumb, i usually let the installer setup my partitions, and it usually sets me at 4gig swap, and 240gig /
[10:29] <JayC> Can someone help me, my 320GB Hard drive is only showing up as 128GB in Gparted/qtparted it is unfromatted btw
[10:29] <Amerio> lorbrito: actually i was going 2 make it 3 but by wrong its been made 5
[10:30] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: so the drive has no data?
[10:30] <lorbrito> Amerio: how do you have in ram?
[10:31] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: It is unformatted no data new drive
[10:31] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, thats wierd.
[10:31] <Amerio> lobrito: 1 GB and  512
[10:31] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Shows as 300ish GB in windows due to the "formatted capacity BS"
[10:31] <iNeo> JayC: Maybe a Bios problem
[10:31] <IndyGunFreak> thats almost what it sounds like, how old is this pc?
[10:32] <iNeo> JayC: Could be your motherboard doesn't understand large drives
[10:32] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Its brand new, laptop
[10:32] <Amerio> Jayc: u need to format it 1st then see if u get the problem again
[10:32] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, well that may not be it.
[10:32] <iNeo> JayC: fdisk -l <device>
[10:32] <Amerio> Jayc: new HDDs should be formatted before usage
[10:32] <JayC> Amerio: Uhm thats what im TRYING to do...
[10:33] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: this is true, but showing the drive is less than half its actual size, is a bit absurd.
[10:33] <luodartes> hello
[10:33] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: so whats the prob?
[10:33] <iNeo> luodartes: hi
[10:33] <Stupid^Kid> hello, i need to edit many html files, can any one advise me a good application
[10:33] <Amerio> IndyGunFreak: I had that problem once , I re-formatted it and its gone but maybe he has a problem I dunno
[10:33] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: It doesnt show the drive as being 320gb
[10:33] <luodartes> it brazil
[10:33] <IndyGunFreak> JayC:  i know.

[10:33] <iNeo> Stupid^Kid: vi
[10:34] <Amerio> Stupid^Kid: Dreamweaver , But I dunno if its supported on Linux
[10:34] <luodartes> summer
[10:34] <lorbrito> Dreamweaver is jus for micro and apple
[10:34] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: you using gutsy?
[10:34] <JayC> lorbrito: Dreamweaver works via wine
[10:34] <rabby> hi
[10:34] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: 7.10
[10:35] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: I think thats feisty
[10:35] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: no, thats gutsy
[10:35] <Amerio> JayC : the old version works via wine but the new one doesnt work with wine
[10:35] <Stupid^Kid> thank you !
[10:35] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: My bad
[10:35] <rabby> yesterday i installed em28xx for my wintv usb stick; but it can not be used correctly because i only get /dev/vdi0 instead of /dev/dvb/...
[10:35] <gvsa123> help please... i think my system clock isn't syncing with the servers
[10:35] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Any way to reset the partition table?
[10:35] <rabby> can You tell me please, how to fix the dev names?
[10:36] <rabby> can You tell me please, how to fix the dev names?
[10:36] <iNeo> gvsa123: look at your firewall settings
[10:36] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: i don't know, i have a lot of probs w gparted and gutsy, so i always use the gparted live CD..., maybe try booting the gparted live CD to completely format the drive.
[10:36] <gvsa123> iNeo: what should i look for? i have firestarter
[10:37] <IndyGunFreak> Gparted Live, PartedMagic Live, either one.
[10:37] <iNeo> gvsa123: time protocol is ntp 123/tcp 123/udp look if it isn't dropped
[10:37] <Amerio> JayC: 1st of all u need 2 format if it doesnt work then come back :)
[10:38] <gvsa123> iNeo: oh the gui crashed when i tried to add service for ntp
[10:38] <Amerio> JayC: but u know that u cant get all ur 320 GB
[10:38] <iNeo> gvsa123: And try ntpdate from the commandline
[10:38] <HardDisk> anyone that gives advices to use dreamweaver on linux should leave now.
[10:39] <iNeo> HardDisk: I agree
[10:39] <gvsa123> iNeo: i should add service for NTP tcp and udp?
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: i don't see why he couldn't, i've got a 500gig external, on a PC 2.5yrs old, and it sees the whole drive.
[10:39] <HardDisk> and they should stop giving advices period.
[10:39] <JayC> Amerio: Hey man i dont claim to know everthing i know i get 298GB on windows from the drive i expect the same via linux 128 is BS
[10:39] <iNeo> gvsa123: Yes, but first try ntpdate <time server>
[10:39] <Amerio> IndyGUnFreak: u have all the 500 GB?
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: yes....
[10:39] <bigmyx> cannot get dual screen working with my intel 965 card - any help ?
[10:39] <Amerio> IndyGunFreak: no way
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: yes
[10:39] <Ayabara> I'm on an ASUS laptop, and sometimes my gutsy just hangs so hard that I have to restart by holding the power button. Last time 10 minutes ago...
[10:40] <IndyGunFreak> far as i know..., hold on i'll double check, but i'm pretty sure i do.
[10:40] <iNeo> gvsa123: You are not running your OS in VMware ?
[10:40] <gvsa123> iNeo: nope... gutsy
[10:41] <iNeo> Ayabara: Try ALT-F1 and login on commandline to look what is going on
[10:41] <iNeo> gvsa123: Ack
[10:41] <HardDisk> bigmyx, http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html
[10:41] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: it reads it about 480
[10:41] <gvsa123> iNeo: ntpdate time.nuri.net said permission denied
[10:41] <Amerio> IndyGUnFreak : u see :)
[10:41] <Ayabara> iNeo, when it locks, that doesn't work either. _everything_ is stuck
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> Amerio: lot better than less than half..lol
[10:42] <iNeo> gvsa123: sudo ntpdate <server>
[10:42] <kazim59> I installed bzflag using apt-get, but I cannot start server. It says Failed (exit = 2)
[10:42] <Andycasss> is there a way to trick eth2 to be eth1
[10:42] <bigmyx> HardDisk: will check it 10x
[10:43] <jhasse> Hi there! Hardy heron doesn't boot anymore. I only see the splashscreen and the scrollbar is moving from left to right until (after a long time) i end up in busybox and it tells my that /dev/disk/by-uuid/blabla couldn't be found. Can someone help me?
[10:43] <gvsa123> iNeo: 24 Dec 02:56:49 ntpdate[7438]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[10:43] <IndyGunFreak> !hardy | jhasse
[10:43] <ubotu> jhasse: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[10:43] <jhasse> IndyGunFreak: ok
[10:43] <Andycasss> When i try to use wifi, i cant use my webserver from my domain anymore, just local ip. I gave it the same lan ip as my wired connection...
[10:44] <HardDisk> Andrew_1, you can't have the same ip as your router.
[10:44] <iNeo> gvsa123: So there is already a program running, take a look at the processlist
[10:44] <HardDisk> Andycasss,*
[10:44] <Oddd>  anyone here have experience/know where to get help with dvb-usb?
[10:44] <Andycasss> HardDisk: sorry?
[10:44] <gvsa123> iNeo: what should i be looking for?
[10:45] <iNeo> gvsa123: I think there is allready a ntp process running, ps axu | grep nt
[10:46] <gvsa123> iNeo: i got an output i cannot understand... lol... what should i be looking for?
[10:46] <MenZa> !anyone | Oddd
[10:46] <ubotu> Oddd: 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?
[10:47] <Amerio> IndyGUnFreak: yeah , usually manufacturer usee the binary based units for space & operating systems decimal based units , so calculating the binary into decimal u'll get a less number :)
[10:47] <iNeo> gvsa123: look at the last collum and see if there is some ntp process
[10:47] <IndyGunFreak> ya
[10:47] <Oddd> I just asked in #linuxtv
[10:47] <Amerio> IndyGunFreak: whats ur HDD brand?
[10:47] <Oddd> I'm hoping they might help.
[10:47] <Oddd> but if not... here it is.
[10:47] <iNeo> gvsa123: Is there a /etc/init.d/ntp script ?
[10:48] <gvsa123> iNeo: ntp       5259  0.0  0.3   4132   844 ?        Ss   01:39   0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd
[10:48] <IndyGunFreak> Seagate, its in an enclosure i bought from TD
[10:48] <Oddd> I have a umt-010 usb-dvb device with a mt352 frontend
[10:48] <Oddd> I cannot get it to tune to known working signals
[10:48] <Amerio> IndyGUnFreak: I have W.D MyBook
[10:48] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: I cant even partition it in windows at all everything is greyed out
[10:48] <IndyGunFreak> i like WD drives, its just this one was on sale.
[10:48] <Oddd> I really need some help... any help.... like an application programming guide for the mt352
[10:48] <gvsa123> iNeo: there is a /etc/init.d/ntp
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: are you on linux now?
[10:49] <Amerio> IndyGUnFreak: Both Western Digital & Seagate made in the same manufacture
[10:49] <Ric84> hello
[10:49] <iNeo> gvsa123: /etc/init.d/ntp stop and then try the ntpdate again
[10:49] <theborg0815> moin
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> yep.., but WD is cheaper usually
[10:49] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Got both comps up
[10:49] <hades_> im trying to put stuff in my usr/share directory.. but it wont let me create files.. how do i fix this?
[10:49] <Ric84> i'm trying to use tracker with the deskbar
[10:49] <iNeo> gvsa123: To be sure the connection is working to the ntp servers
[10:49] <Ric84> but nothing gets indexed in tracker
[10:49] <hades_> Like i can do it thru the terminal but i really dont want to type it all in
[10:49] <hades_> i just want to drag and drop
[10:50] <Ric84> do i have to change some config first?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: ok, do you have gparted installed on Linux?.. look in System/Admin for Gparted Partition editor
[10:50] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Yeah i have it
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> ok, open gparted
[10:50] <Amerio> HardDisk: what was your comment about dreamweaver?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> plug the drive into the linux box and turn it on
[10:50] <gvsa123> iNeo: 24 Dec 03:04:19 ntpdate[7536]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[10:50] <hades_> !root
[10:50] <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
[10:50] <lubuntu> admin filemanager  sudo mc or gnome-commander thats all ?
[10:51] <Oddd> cool trick.  I'll have to remember that one
[10:51] <iNeo> gvsa123: Try ntpdate ntp0.NL.uu.net, that is working for me
[10:51] <HardDisk> Amerio, scroll up.  and WD and Seagate are NOT made by the same manufacturer.  Seagate purchased Maxtor, but they are still produced in different plants.
[10:51] <benjamin_> hi! i just installed 7.10! but have some problems with it. most important there is no sound. can someone help me please??
[10:51] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Done, What now?
[10:51] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: is gparted showing your usb drive?
[10:51] <gvsa123> iNeo: still the same output...
[10:51] <HardDisk> Amerio, stop spreading misinformation and do some proper research.
[10:51] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: yes
[10:52] <IndyGunFreak> righit click it, and format the drive.
[10:52] <iNeo> gvsa123: Then I think it is a firewall problem
[10:52] <iNeo> gvsa123: Add the ntp ports to your firewall rules
[10:52] <HardDisk> !sound > benjamin_
[10:52] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Right click on "unallocated?"
[10:52] <benjamin_> hi!
[10:53] <gvsa123> iNeo: that's ntp and what else again?
[10:53] <Amerio> HardDisk: take it easy bud , & I know what I'm talking about :)
[10:53] <benjamin_> what infos do you need?
[10:53] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: you probably want to format the whole drive...so i would right click the whole drive at the bottom...
[10:53] <iNeo> gvsa123: ntp is 123/udp and 123/tvp
[10:53] <iNeo> gvsa123: ntp is 123/udp and 123/tcp
[10:53] <hades_> Anyone? how do I move things to a /usr/ directory?
[10:53] <HardDisk> Amerio, apparently you don't.  and keep it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:53] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: There is no "whole drive"
[10:53] <iNeo> gvsa123: sudo ntpdate ntp1.NL.uu.net
[10:53] <iNeo> 26 Dec 11:53:36 ntpdate[7142]: adjust time server 193.79.237.14 offset -0.167311 sec
[10:53] <bthomson> what do i install for java
[10:53] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Dont think im being literal though...
[10:54] <HardDisk> bthomson, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras for java and a bunch of extra items you'll need.
[10:54] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: I select the drive from dropdown and all i see is unallocated
[10:54] <bthomson> thanks HardDisk
[10:54] <bthomson> rock on homie
[10:54] <finalblade> Hi, just want to know if it is possible for an ATi X1400 to have direct rendering support on ubuntu yet..
[10:54] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: oh ok.
[10:54] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: then yes, format the entire drive.
[10:55] <hades_> finalblade, go to phoronix.com they have lots of good info
[10:55] <gvsa123> iNeo: i still get the same output... i added only one entry in firestarter... that's allow service for ntp on port 123 for everyone
[10:55] <Amerio> HardDisk: whatever I won't argue with u
[10:55] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: What do i do about the only showing 128gb?
[10:55] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: what file system are you goign to use on the drive?
[10:55] <freepenguin> hello
[10:55] <finalblade> hades_: roger that, checking it out now! thanks
[10:55] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Ext2
[10:55] <iNeo> gvsa123: Be back later
[10:55] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: do you plan to use the drive on Windows and linux?
[10:56] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Yes
[10:56] <gvsa123> iNeo: oh okay.. thanks...
[10:56] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: well, ext2 support is qutie wonky in windows.
[10:56] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Ive been using the windows driver for years i want to stay away from NTFS if possible
[10:57] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, not with the driver from www.fs-driver.org ?
[10:57] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: i've never had much luck with it.., obviously ymmv
[10:58] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, what problems you been having, maybe I can help, cause we use that driver over 40 machines and haven't had issues. If you want help let me know.
[10:58] <hades_> Anyone? im trying to copy some files to /usr directory but i dont have permissions. how do i fix this?
[10:58] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: i don't know, just format the drive, then see what happens, not like you're going to lose data,
[10:58] <HardDisk> hades_, use sudo before the command.
[10:58] <HardDisk> hades_, ie sudo mv
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: its not something i'm concerned about.. i just use ext3 on my drives... i hv no need for any sort of backup on my windows drive
[10:59] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: i alredy formatted it i dont care about what partition or whatever i just need to have it show my 300gb
[10:59] <hades_> harddisk: I dont want to have to do it thru the terminal. I want to drag and drop it thru gnome
[10:59] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: Thats the problem im having
[10:59] <HardDisk> hades_, then gksudo nautilus  this will open your nautilus file manager with root
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: i don't know, i dont have any logical explanation for your problem, if you already formatted it, you should a filesystem there, not showing it unallocated
[10:59] <hades_> oh ok cool
[11:00] <nuxil> !beryl

[11:00] <JayC> IndyGunFreak: If i format it, it shows a filesystem....i dont care about anything like that forget the whole formatting crap forget all of that it shows only 128gb availble to format its a 320gb drive
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> JayC: you need to enable large disk support in your bios.
[11:01] <IndyGunFreak> JayC: don't know then, i have no explanation for your problem...
[11:01] <IndyGunFreak> fyrestrtr: it shows 300gig in windows.
[11:01] <hades_> thanks alot harddisk
[11:01] <JayC> fyrestrtr: Has nothing to do with bios it shows 300GB in windows and its a brand new comp
[11:01] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, is it an external drive?
[11:01] <IndyGunFreak> yes
[11:01] <JayC> yes
[11:02] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, there was news on some external drives that had problems like this
[11:02] <IndyGunFreak> never heard, don't know..
[11:02] <HardDisk> JayC, there is another solution..
[11:02] <di33le> heya, im in a lot of trouble and need some help lol. u reckon someone wiling to help me could pm me?
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> JayC: what release are you running?
[11:03] <HardDisk> JayC, you will require to download hiren's boot cd, and use that to format your drive.
[11:03] <JayC> fyrestrtr: 7.10
[11:03] <HardDisk> I know the issue he's talking about, you can format it using the partition tools on that cd, then mount it normally in ubuntu.
[11:03] <JayC> HardDisk: I dont want to format the drive haha im trying to get it to show 300gb so i can use a tool to format as wanted
[11:04] <HardDisk> JayC, I know.  In order to fix that issue, you'll have to do what I said.
[11:04] <fyrestrtr> JayC: if you fdisk -l what does it show.
[11:04] <HardDisk> JayC, you're other solution is to take the HD out and plug it temporarily as an internal drive.
[11:04] <francis> Hi , I have postfix running on my server [server2.mydomain.com] it is used to host virtual domains . the MX record for mydomain.com points to a third party server as they handle my mails. Though I notice that mails that go to the postmaster go to the third partyies mail server and thus get rejected. How do I force postfix to deliver those mails to the local server ???
[11:04] <JayC> HardDisk: Cant its a laptop
[11:04] <gvsa123> iNeo: i tried to restart... but i still get the same output from  sudo ntpdate ntp1.NL.uu.net 26 Dec 03:17:22 ntpdate[6744]: no server suitable for synchronization found

[11:06] <fyrestrtr> pastebin
[11:06] <di33le> nah i kinda just got a bit blind and just installed it not having a clue what im doing to be honest, and now when i get onto the boot screen it just has 3 different ubuntus on it, no vista
[11:07] <Oddd> is anyone able to help me with a dvb-usb device with a umt-010 chipset and a mt352 frontend?
[11:07] <JayC> fyrestrtr: http://pastebin.com/d4c7bede6
[11:07] <x3roconf> maybe u should edit menul.lst
[11:07] <sasuke> windows is the best, linux just the rest :D
[11:07] <x3roconf> in /boot/grub
[11:07] <francis> fyrestrtr: hold on will pastebin the log for ya
[11:07] <HardDisk> di33le, http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first     use this guide to get your vista back up on your menu.
[11:07] <chazco> Oddd - I'm using a Nova-T DVB USB stick... check for firmware, and manually build the dvb modules if you're having trouble
[11:07] <HardDisk> sasuke, thank you, now grow up.
[11:08] <sasuke> yeah :D. Im in the right channel^^
[11:08] <di33le> thank you hardkisk
[11:08] <di33le> *hardisk
[11:08] <Amerio> HardDisk: If I install Vista on another parition will the boot menu show up? or is there a special config. for that?
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> JayC: is this a new external disk?
[11:09] <HardDisk> Amerio, follow the guide I posted for di33le
[11:09] <Oddd> The firmware has been loaded (shown in /var/log/messages).  I have manually built the modules as the umt-010 causes an oops without a fix.
[11:09] <chazco> Anyone here know much about the control files in .debs?
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> JayC: or was previously used somewhere?
[11:09] <JayC> fyrestrtr: yes
[11:09] <JayC> fyrestrtr: 3.5" converted to external USB 2.0
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> JayC: ah. fdisk will never see the full capacity of this disk. You need to use parted.
[11:10] <IndyGunFreak> lol

[11:11] <RicMar> Hello everybody
[11:11] <JayC> fyrestrtr: ive been used QT/Gparted
[11:11] <RicMar> I need some help for solving 2 problems
[11:11] <fyrestrtr> because of the type of partition table that is on it.
[11:11] <Ric84> do i have to setup something to get tracker to index my files?
[11:11] <RicMar> The first one: I have a Palm Zire 22 and gnome pilot doesn't recognize it
[11:12] <JayC> fyrestrtr: How do i remove the table?
[11:12] <RicMar> The second one: I have troubles on shuting down the computer it doesn't poweroff...
[11:12] <RicMar> Someone could help me?
[11:12] <fyrestrtr> JayC: how many partitions do you see on the disk with parted?
[11:12] <ridge-meister> how can i make mp3 files from songs on my cd's?  i want to make use of my ipod
[11:12] <arash> Hi, is there any way I can mount an iso and the OS / wine will think it's a CD, since a program i run with wine detecs that there is no CD in the tray, even if I mounted my iso to the exact mounting point that the cd-tray mounts to
[11:12] <Ric84> ridge: sound juicer?
[11:13] <JayC> fyrestrtr: none there are none..new disk
[11:13] <IndyGunFreak> ridge-meister: i think sound-juicer
[11:13] <gvsa123> any ideas on why my system clock isn't syncing? i have service allowed fro ntp/123 in firestarter
[11:13] <fyrestrtr> JayC: and the capacity?
[11:13] <JayC> fyrestrtr: 128gb but its a 320gb disk
[11:13] <fyrestrtr> JayC: is there data on the disk that you need?
[11:13] <HardDisk> RicMar, you're on gutsy? tracker indexing is on by default.
[11:13] <JayC> fyrestrtr: no
[11:14] <RicMar> HardDisk: yes
[11:14] <ridge-meister> Ric84: and IndyGunFreak i started up "sound juicer cd extractor" and extracted a song, but don't think it made an mp3, when i "transferred" the song (thinking it was an mp3) to my ipod, there was the whole period of waiting on the transfer to complete, then nothing
[11:14] <fyrestrtr> JayC: from a terminal, type parted /dev/sdb check
[11:14] <chazco> I'm trying to create a deb... can anyone advise me on what to put in "version" for the control file... It seems to want a x.x.x-x style one, but the application is just released as 2002, 2006, 2008 and so on (maybe with revision numbers too),,,?
[11:15] <Ric84> how did you transfer the song on the ipod?
[11:15] <IndyGunFreak> ridge-meister: i'm guessing you probably need some sort of mp3 encoder
[11:15] <RicMar> HardDisk: What do you mean with 'tracker indexing is on by default'?
[11:15] <jgoo> wow. how many hours does it take for devede to convert an avi file to a video dvd?
[11:15] <fyrestrtr> !ipod | Ric84
[11:15] <ubotu> Ric84: 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
[11:15] <IndyGunFreak> ridge-meister: open sound-juicer, then edit/preferences, what does "Output format" say
[11:16] <RicMar> ubotu: is there any guide to PDA sync?
[11:16] <Ric84> fyrestrtr: i was helping ridge-meister :-)
[11:16] <JayC> fyrestrtr: What partition number?
[11:16] <IndyGunFreak> !pda | RicMar
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <RicMar> !pda
 wow. how many hours does it take for devede to convert an avi file to a video dvd? <--- I forget the exact length but it didn't seem to long for me. One thing, though. :| Somehow all of the source file except for 5 minutes was gone after it was done.

[11:17] <Ric84> tracker isn't indexing anything on my gutsy
[11:17] <HardDisk> chazco, he didn't specify the type of PDA.
[11:17] <RicMar> Palm Zire 22
[11:17] <IndyGunFreak> ridge-meister: what is your output format in the preferences of sound-juicer
[11:17] <HardDisk> Palm is fine.
[11:17] <gvsa123> Ric84: install beagle
[11:17] <nemik> is HDAPS working for anyone using a thinkpad?
[11:17] <chazco> Ah, palm isnt as bad i hear

[11:18] <nemik> disc0815: using tp_smapi? last kernel update broke it on my T61

[11:18] <arash> Hi, is there any way I can mount an iso and the OS / wine will think it's a CD, since a program i run with wine detecs that there is no CD in the tray, even if I mounted my iso to the exact mounting point that the cd-tray mounts to
[11:19] <nemik> disc0815: it worked perfectly just prior to the last kernel update
[11:19] <ghostknife> It notifies me on 15 minutes, then later it just turns off
[11:19] <disc0815> nemik: hmm. i am on feisty here but i compiled my own 2.6.22.1 kernel
[11:19] <x3roconf> why there's no official .deb for metasploit framework? lol
[11:19] <nemik> disc0815: ah, i have gutsy
[11:19] <Kalamansi> is there a /etc/mynat in ubuntu? i cannot access it
[11:20] <stefano> is s.o here experienced with freepascal programming?
[11:20] <JayC> fyrestrtr: ill brb
[11:20] <nemik> x3roconf: it changes a lot? the ubuntu repo managers don't like updating things very often i noticed
[11:20] <IndyGunFreak> Kalamansi: you cant access it, or you can't see it.
[11:20] <x3roconf> hmm ok
[11:21] <arash> stefano, yes, quite
[11:21] <nemik> x3roconf: not an excuse, i know. i wish it was there myself

[11:21] <disc0815> nemik: i remember reading something about the thinkpad_acpi module interfering with the hdaps module
[11:22] <stefano> arash, i've got a really basic funktion for printing file content, however it doesnt work. here's the funktion: http://nopaste.info/18b0c8d60c.html  and i call it like that: cat('/home/stefano/text');
[11:22] <nemik> disc0815: i'll look into that then. though i can modprobe the modules just fine
[11:22] <stefano> arash, it just doesnt print anything
[11:23] <arash> stefano: joint #blablabla , this discussion odesn't belong here :)
[11:23] <disc0815> nemik: i think modprobing them is not the problem, but some i/o addresses of the embedded controller used for reading battery status by thinkpad_acpi block the access for hdaps (IIRC)
[11:23] <HardDisk> stefano, try ##programming
[11:24] <Ldizzle> hello everyone
[11:24] <disc0815> nemik: there was an article on www.thinkwiki.org about this issue
[11:24] <jgoo> T1m0thy: all source files? or all working files were deleted?
[11:24] <nemik> disc0815: just recently (last month) or longer ago?
[11:25] <disc0815> nemik: recently
[11:25] <T1m0thy> jgoo: Like, the original .avi was just basically gone.
[11:25] <T1m0thy> Dunno why.
[11:25] <larson9999> riddle me this: if disabling the trackpad in gnome makes it on lifehackers top 10 tweak list, why aren't there more laptops with tracksticks(a must have for me)
[11:25] <HardDisk> !ot > larson9999
[11:25] <francis> fyrestrtr: any idea as to why postfix is trying to sent it to my default MX ?
[11:25] <Ldizzle> anybody know how to get a sony handycam trv-250 stream via usb for webcam?
[11:26] <Ldizzle> anybody have an idea?
[11:26] <nemik> disc0815: thanks. i'll look for it then. if you have it somewhere and can post it though please do.
[11:27] <HardDisk> Ldizzle, Sony DV handycams will not stream video via USB (in linux) as far as I know.
[11:27] <Ldizzle> why couldn't they ?
[11:27] <HardDisk> ask sony.
[11:27] <BuFF> what is a wacom tablet thing ?
[11:27] <Ldizzle> lol
[11:27] <Ldizzle> wacom tablet is a pc drawing pad
[11:27] <jgoo> T1m0thy: it has an option to delete the working files... hrm, I will copy-paste the file somewhere now... but... this is taking HOURS... perhaps I selected an option? I am just making 1 avi, to a DVD, split into chapters on 10 minute intervals...
[11:28] <t94xr> HardDisk, Sony also produce Windows software for their products, why make linux work when you could buy their applications for windows ?
[11:28] <Ldizzle> used by software such as Adobe Photoshop
[11:28] <francis> postfix is trying to sent local alias mails to mail.mydomain.com when i want it to sent it to  this server.mydomain.com . Any idea as to how I can get postfix to do this ????
[11:28] <larson9999> it's something that we seem to get in our xorg.conf whether we like it or not
[11:28] <BuFF> ok
[11:28] <BuFF> i see
[11:28] <T1m0thy> BuFF: It's a device that you can draw on and it connects to your computer.. so like you could draw a picture in The GIMP using your actual drawing..
[11:28] <HardDisk> t94xr, precisely, BUT Ldizzle you can try to use google to help you search how you may connect your handycam to VLC and stream with it.
[11:28] <T1m0thy> jgoo: Hmm, I'll look into that next time I try it.
[11:29] <Ldizzle> vlc would stream it as webcam?
[11:29] <HardDisk> Ldizzle, search for it.
[11:29] <T1m0thy> jgoo: And yeah, maybe you did select something.. :/ I dunno though.. I thought I chose the best quality.

[12:14] <swilson> Can anyone point me to a HOWTO install/rebuild rhythmbox please? I trying to get a new iPod nano working, have installed libgpod6 successfully (I think), but now rhythmbox is complaining about the library
[12:14] <ikonia> swilson: the nano should work with the version in the ubuntu repos
[12:15] <ridge-meister> music player is BUGGY!  is there anything better than for transferring to/deleting from ipods?
[12:15] <bazhang> nano are not supported in linux currently the new ones that is swilson
[12:15] <ikonia> ridge-meister: gtk pod
[12:15] <thor> I have been working on a new nano also..and not having a lot of luck
[12:15] <bazhang> amarok ridge-meister
[12:15] <ridge-meister> ikonia: that's only for apple ipods
[12:15] <swilson> I -think- that libgpod supports the new nano?
[12:15] <ikonia> ridge-meister: you asked for delete from ipods
[12:15] <swilson> libgpod6
[12:16] <ikonia> < ridge-meister> music player is BUGGY!  is there anything better than for transferring to/deleting from ipods?
[12:16] <bazhang> swilson: there is currently a work around that you must renew every time you add music--best to wait for a more permanent fix
[12:16] <ikonia> bazhang: is this down to the new encyption
[12:16] <swilson> bazhang: whats the workaround?
[12:17] <bazhang> ikonia: yes it is--locking people out of itunes
[12:17] <ikonia> bazhang: there was a discussion debate on the support of these devices and I just realised you are talking about a mini, not a nano, so my apologies
[12:17] <ridge-meister> bazhang: i don't know what to put in the fields for mound and eject commands
[12:17] <bazhang> swilson: do you understand--every single time you want to add new music you need to do the compile
[12:17] <ikonia> ridge-meister: gtkpod is solid.
[12:17] <ridge-meister> ikonia: that's for apple ipods, right? :)
[12:18] <bazhang> ikonia: no its the new nano-- the mini works fine
[12:18] <ikonia> ridge-meister: yes, only apple makes ipods
[12:18] <swilson> bazhang: oh, ok. not really workable then :(
[12:18] <ikonia> bazhang: ahh thats it. Thank you.
[12:18] <bazhang> ikonia: no worries :}
[12:18] <ikonia> ridge-meister: I'm not aware of any non-apple ipods
[12:18] <bazhang> ridge-meister: using what program
[12:19] <ridge-meister> ikonia: then what is this Samsung YP-K3J?  maybe it's just an "mp3 player"? :)

[12:19] <chazco> Hi... anyone here any experience in building .debs?
[12:19] <ikonia> chazco: sure
[12:20] <swilson> bazhang: so libgpod6 isnt the answer then i guess
[12:20] <chazco> Great :) I'm manually building a .deb for a non-free closed source application... trying to figure out how to specify the version
[12:20] <bazhang> ridge-meister: first open amarok, then insert the ipod; mount it (you should see the ipod icon on simialr on your desktop, then in devices choose your mp3player
[12:20] <bazhang> swilson: not for the newest nano, no
[12:20] <ikonia> chazco: the version of the deb or the version of the software in the deb
[12:20] <chazco> They use 2002/2006/2008, and revisions for individual apps... The trouble is that the apps are shipped in one go, but have different revisions. How would I specify this version in the deb to ensure future updates can work?
[12:21] <bazhang> back in a moment..
[12:21] <swilson> bazhang: ok thanks for clearing that up. guess iĺl have to stick with osx for a while
[12:21] <chazco> Trying to be as standards compliant as possible, even though its not intended to go on the repos
[12:21] <ikonia> chazco: not sure what you mean, do you mean each version incriments by two, eg: 2008/2010/2012
[12:21] <HardDisk> chazco, you may need to ask in ##linux
[12:22] <ikonia> chazco: why ?
[12:22] <chazco> Not always, they have a year version, followed by -123 revision etc
[12:22] <chazco> Because they may distribute it this way, so it helps to have it working well :)
[12:22] <ikonia> chazco: sorry, I didn't actually mean to say "why"
[12:22] <chazco> Currently you get a .tgz and spend hours manually setting up file assosiations etc... my deb does it all for us :)
[12:22] <ikonia> chazco: my fingers slipped mid type
[12:22] <th_> swilson: ipods work out of box with gutsy's rythmbox
[12:22] <chazco> hmm ok :)
[12:23] <swilson> th_, not the new nanos it would seem (a1236)
[12:23] <Phophos> Hey all; my microphone isn't working in either terminal or GNOME, I'm getting a weird "failed to construct test pipeline error" in the latter and it's all going to pot, I can't call my girlfriend in Skype!!
[12:23] <ikonia> chazco: so surly the version would be 2008-001 and then when you re-package you'll do 2008-005 for example.
[12:23] <ridge-meister> bazhang: do you mean to mount the ipod from a terminal?
[12:23] <chazco> Thats what I was thinking... the trouble is the deb has mutliple apps with multiple revisions, so not sure how to cater for that
[12:23] <swilson> new nano appears to work, music gets transferred, but they cant be seen on the device
[12:24] <chazco> (they're not in sync btw)
[12:24] <ikonia> chazco: you can't do multiple apps in one deb, thats not how it works.
[12:24] <th_> swilson: ah.. i have 2nd gen nano and it works
[12:24] <salvio> Hi
[12:24] <swilson> apple appear to have closed some doors :(
[12:24] <salvio> I'm italian
[12:24] <th_> swilson: which version you have? feisty's rhythmbox at least didn't know how to sync
[12:24] <chazco> I thought as much... its just seems to work well as one deb, aside from that... it is one package as such
[12:24] <salvio> there are any italian ih this channel?
[12:24] <ikonia> chazco: sorry one deb = 1 package
[12:24] <ikonia> !it > salvio
[12:24] <chazco> All I can think of is introducing a version number for the deb seperatly
[12:24] <sandyang> hello,everybody
[12:24] <yue123161> linux.cn
[12:25] <Phophos> Hey all; my microphone isn't working in either terminal or GNOME, I'm getting a weird "failed to construct test pipeline error" in the latter ...
[12:25] <sudhanshu> tc-rt latency
[12:25] <ikonia> chazco: package them seperatly as they are meant to be
[12:25] <swilson> th_: you mean which version nano? or ubuntu. I using gutsy, brand new nano a1236
[12:25] <chazco> ikonia - That'd be fine if it were on a feed (could offer a meta-package)... as it is you can only get them both together, which can be tricky
[12:25] <chazco> I'll look into though, thanks for the help
[12:26] <ikonia> chazco sorry it#s not what your looking for.
[12:26] <th_> swilson: okies. guess the ipod hw/sw is all different again.
[12:26] <chazco> Although while I'm here one more section has me... Section --- what should go here? non-free?
[12:26] <ikonia> chazco: I assume so
[12:26] <chazco> ikonia - If it comes to it I can break the deb apart into two, but i'm not sure that'd be how they'd like it
[12:27] <ikonia> chazco: I understand your situation
[12:27] <chazco> :)
[12:27] <Phophos> Hey all; my microphone isn't working in either terminal or GNOME, I'm getting a weird "failed to construct test pipeline error" in the latter ...
[12:28] <chazco> I'm doing it voluntairly though anyway, so its not too bad :) Its a great office suite but setup is tricky on LInux
[12:28] <th_> damn i wish there was an easy way to take snapshots of system like in virtualbox :)
[12:28] <swilson> theres a long thread here on ipods ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619615
[12:28] <swilson> It seems people are close to solving the issue - but I cant make it work
[12:29] <chazco> ikonia - I dont suppose you could tell me if I'm setting up assosiations the correct way too?
[12:29] <ikonia> chazco: possibly, I've not got a deb based box in front of my to check against my own packages.
[12:29] <ikonia> chazco: just FYI: the guys in #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-motu are mega helpful and may have more suggestions for you.
[12:30] <menllyos> im using xchat now, and i want to have a tray balloon on a pm and highlight, so i seleected that in the preferences, but its not working. Balloons for public messages do work however. Anything i forgot to do ?
[12:30] <Phophos> Hey all; my microphone isn't working in either terminal or GNOME, I'm getting a weird "failed to construct test pipeline error" in the latter ...
[12:30] <jgoo> ok, DVD::Rip, acidrip and thoggen all seem to work well on my system, but I would like just to rip an iso, or rip the vob files off the DVD - what is the easiest / best way to do that? (so they could be rewritten to a new dvd later if necessary)
[12:30] <chazco> The deb makes .desktops in /usr/share/applications, copys suitable mime icon types into the gnome theme, creates an xml in usr/share/mime/packages with the glob pattenrs, then the post inst script updates /etc/mime.types and /usr/share/applications/defaults.list. It finishes by refreshing everything... seems to work, but not sure if its correct
[12:31] <ikonia> jgoo: any of the applications you suggested will work fine. Also investigate mencoder if you want to script it
[12:31] <jgoo> ikonia: I cannot get them just to pull off the iso (and not shrink or process it)
[12:31] <ikonia> chazco: that sounds like pretty much what I do
[12:31] <chazco> ah, didnt know those channels existed :D, will have a look
[12:31] <chazco> Sounds promising then :)
[12:31] <th_> anyone know if it's possible to take working system snapshots with dd or such?-)
[12:31] <ikonia> jgoo: make sure your ripping only and not re-encoding.
[12:32] <KaZeR> ikonia, \o/
[12:32] <KaZeR> remember me? :)
[12:32] <ikonia> jgoo:  all of them can rip
[12:32] <ikonia> KaZeR: I'm sorry I don't.
[12:32] <KaZeR> ikonia, i was whining about "why can't i upgrade from server to xorg-enabled"
[12:32] <chazco> Thanks for the help ikonia - i'm on a bit of a learning curve here :)
[12:32] <ikonia> KaZeR: vaugly
[12:32] <KaZeR> ikonia, np :)
[12:32] <ikonia> chazco: everyony learns, don't fret.
[12:32] <thani> how to add new path into $PATH  variable of current shell by executing a file or script
[12:33] <ikonia> chazco: I'm picking things up every day
[12:33] <chazco> heh :)
[12:33] <ikonia> thani: just put in a script PATH=$PATH:/your/new/path
[12:34] <KaZeR>  <ikonia>       KaZeR: once you've installed the destkop I'll help you tune it down to a smaller footprint
[12:35] <ikonia> KaZeR: yes, thats fine. Where are you up to.
[12:35] <Phophos> Alright then, so change of tack. I want to upgrade ALSA to the latest version now, have a few sources which suggest that doing this might solve my troubles. But is it best to uninstall alsa-base and alsa-utils first (which has lots of nasty dependency removals as well) or install over the top of the version I currently have?
[12:35] <KaZeR> well, i reinstalled the whole thing
[12:35] <ikonia> Phophos: alsa has dependencies that will break ubuntu, don't try to remove it.
[12:35] <ikonia> KaZeR: ok, and that's where you are now.
[12:36] <KaZeR> i used a 7.10 cd. installed kde (i have a kubuntu cd). once in kde, the update tool wanted me to upgrade to 7.10 (???)
[12:36] <KaZeR> i did it, and now i'm here
[12:36] <Phophos> ikonia: Thanks, I thought that would happen. So install over the top, or leave it well alone?
[12:36] <ikonia> KaZeR: thats great news.
[12:36] <KaZeR> first thing, i'd like my wifi to work
[12:36] <KaZeR> ikonia, yes, indeed :)
[12:36] <ikonia> Phophos: your call, I say leave well alone unless you know exatly what you're doing
[12:36] <ikonia> .
[12:36] <ikonia> KaZeR: ok, so what was the function of this machine (refresh my memory)
[12:37] <KaZeR> ikonia, small media-player
[12:37] <ikonia> KaZeR: anything else ?
[12:37] <KaZeR> to be precise, it's a carputer
[12:37] <Phophos> ikonia: I'd like to say yes, but I'll probably be back asking for more support before long. But it is super-important for me to have this microphone working.
[12:38] <ikonia> Phophos: then it's your call.
[12:38] <ikonia> Phophos: although I'd be suprised if alsa stopped a microphone actually working.
[12:38] <KaZeR> Sopor, 1st thing : about wifi, what do you guys recommend to connect to a wpa AP?
[12:38] <KaZeR> oups
[12:38] <KaZeR> sorry for highlight.
[12:38] <Phophos> ikonia: No, I think it's GNOME now ...
[12:38] <KaZeR> i meant "so," but used tab key by mistake
[12:39] <ikonia> Phophos: right, so you've no idea, so messing with alsa for no reason is not a good idea.
[12:40] <Phophos> ikonia: I agree ... Except that updating ALSA has worked for me (and others) in the past, admittedly in my case on earlier versions of Ubuntu.
[12:40] <ikonia> Phophos: so then blindly jump in and do it for no reason.

[12:48] <ralppi> KaZeR: I dont know, I havent found anything to that yet, I've tried looking from google and ubuntu forums but no luck at all :(

[12:49] <Kymagic> Kazer: Thanks for that
[12:49] <KaZeR> razer, what did you do? i'm interested
[12:49] <Eax> KyMagic - It's probably easier to install windows at first. That's my experience ^^
[12:49] <ccesario> hello somebody have ubuntu on Thinkpad t60 ?

[13:04] <izaq> hollo Ubuntu :d
[13:05] <bazhang> KaZeR: this is really odd--that usb device is supported in gutsy; could it be that two different modules are conflicting--check which modules are loaded
[13:05] <izaq> apt-get install hallo :d
[13:05] <arijus_> i don't know how to install graphic modules on ubuntu such as GL etc and Intel chipset drivers. Can anybody help with this?
[13:05] <Phophos> ikonia; all: Thanks for your help. I was making a mountain out of an alsamixer-hill. I feel jolly silly and should be mocked liberally in the streets. But again, many thanks for your help, and, seasons greetings!
[13:05] <KaZeR> bazhang, i have both rt25 and rt2x loaded

[13:06] <izaq> who is the good guy how will fix my problem :d
[13:07] <arijus_> i don't know how to install graphic modules on ubuntu such as GL etc and Intel chipset drivers. Can anybody help with this?
[13:07] <bazhang> KaZeR: I seem to recall a fix involving those two conflicting--the precise fix I am googling for right now
[13:07] <Matic`Makovec> bazhang, kaffeine plays it fine
[13:07] <Matic`Makovec> I think I have no other player actually
[13:08] <KaZeR> bazhang, glad that you have an idea :)
[13:08] <bazhang> Matic`Makovec: then it is the totem gstreamer color bug that you are seeing--there is a workaround though you may have to fiddle it a bit
[13:08] <RicMar> bazhang: I don't, how can I check it?
[13:08] <izaq> can some body help me to install ICAClinet ?
[13:08] <KaZeR> i have another tutorial under hand.. which asks to do iwpriv wlan0 set <things> but iwpriv doesn't like that...

[13:28] <usta> hi everyone how can i install squirrelmail.pkg to ubuntu server ?
[13:29] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: have your tried the xorg reconfigure? your monitor section looks odd, the vertrefresh seems wrong and xorg-log complains alot
[13:29] <cliebow_> usta how about sudo apt-get install squirrelmail
[13:29] <menllyos> is there some kind of program to display hardware info, like fsb speed, multiplier, core voltage, temperature etc ?
[13:30] <KaZeR> bazhang, well, following a guide, i've lost network access to my box. won't have it until a few hours, so i'll see that later. thanks for you help anyway :)
[13:30] <cliebow_> cat /proc/cpuinfo?
[13:30] <ader10> menllyos: conky
[13:30] <usta> cliebow_ i have it file and wanna install from my local i am new user do not know command can you help me?
[13:30] <ader10> menllyos: Oh, sorry, I just glanced over what you said. I don't know of any program to help oc
[13:31] <cliebow_> if it is a deb..how about dpkg -i

[13:31] <Sturmkind> Short Question: i have install virtualbox ose and want to install windows XP on it. But i get the message *FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.* The same when i use a ISO image of the windows CD
[13:31] <KaZeR> thanks bazhang
[13:31] <PuppyLinus> sascha: you speak of the ol' sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. all but the HorizSync VertRefresh Modelines and Modes where generated by it.
[13:31] <bazhang> no worries KaZeR
[13:31] <Eax> Sturmkind; Not that it
[13:32] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: all but?
[13:32] <Eax> Sturmkind; 's much of a help. But it's way easier to install XP first and after that install Ubuntu :)
[13:32] <PuppyLinus> those are the only things i myself have entered.
[13:32] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: i think i810 should be able to handle these without adding them to xorg-conf

[13:33] <zakia> my hardware is still supported by debian but not unbunutu
[13:33] <bazhang> zakia: then head to that other channel
[13:34] <PuppyLinus> sascha: i entered that myself. not quite shure how this works
[13:34] <bazhang> PuppyLinus: then that would be the source of your miseries
[13:34] <Eax> Does anyone know a program to see information about CPU temperature, frequence, cpu/ram used and stuff like that, on the desktop. Like it's "Part" of the desktop".. Hope you understand what I mean :) I've seen someone have it..
[13:34] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: one more thing, you said you get a new monitor?? how do you have a i810 card in a desktop?
[13:34] <ader10> When press the suspend button computer loses all responsiveness, the computer's "power light" doesn't start blinking (which is what happens in standby mode), the screens go in standby mode and touching the keyboard or mouse or the power button will not do anything.

[13:36] <bazhang> PuppyLinus: are you using ubuntu?
[13:36] <PuppyLinus> yes
[13:37] <sascha_> ader10: not sure if it helps you but you can configure the action when you press the button in gconf-editor

[13:37] <PuppyLinus> yes
[13:37] <khelll> how shall i know if the bluetooth is working or no?
[13:37] <sascha_> ader10: it would be under apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons
[13:37] <bazhang> lspci in a terminal please PuppyLinus (tell me dont paste here) your card name and model
[13:38] <sascha_> khelll: i think bluetooth usually does not work in linux
[13:38] <sascha_> khelll: development is in very early stages here
[13:38] <Pici> !bluetooth | khelll
[13:38] <ubotu> khelll: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[13:38] <ader10> sascha_: When I press the button it starts to go to standby but then it seems to fail in the middle
[13:38] <khelll> great
[13:38] <sascha_> ader10: and selecting standby from the menu works better?
[13:38] <bazhang> PuppyLinus: you still want help or not
[13:39] <sascha_> khelll: not really ;p

[13:40] <mike81> no why bazhang?

[13:41] <ari_stress> shade052: http://www.monitorix.org
[13:41] <th_> sascha_: yes. guess it boils down to does your bt-dongle or builtin-bt work, but if it works connections etc all work

[13:44] <proximoo> does ubuntu have screenlets in any repo ?

[13:45] <ari_stress> cox377: the default vncserver is ok
[13:45] <ari_stress> we just have to edit some xorg.conf a bit
[13:45] <Pici> proximoo: no.
[13:45] <PuppyLinus> bazhang: could that be my video card?
[13:45] <cox377> ari_stress: is that i have to edit xorg.conf?

[13:46] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: would be nice if you knew your motherboard
[13:46] <fsckr> where is the fonts dir located in ubuntu?  I downloaded a new font and would like to put it in there.
[13:46] <ricardo_> brazil algem
[13:46] <ari_stress> cox377: yes, a very simple one actually. backup the /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[13:46] <Pici> !fonts | fsckr

[13:46] <ader10> sascha_: Suspend in general. The system just crashed as I accessed the suspend button from the little power button in the corner
[13:46] <cox377> ari_stress: nice one, shall try it now
[13:46] <PuppyLinus> sascha: think its an abit is50
[13:47] <ari_stress> cox377: then in Section "Screen" add a line: Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"

[13:48] <HelleJolle> frohe weihnachten...ubuntu users
[13:48] <Baversjo> bazhang: Just installed the xubuntu-desktop over my ubuntu server installation... Logged in and no panel :( But i could click on icons on the desktop
[13:48] <nfree> thx bazhang
[13:49] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: that's interesting, my laptop battery is dead in no time. it's new
[13:49] <Baversjo> bazhang: How can i choose it in session?
[13:49] <th_> AlesYoper: if you have intel, "sudo apt-get install power && sudo powertop" for optimization tips
[13:49] <bazhang> should be #ubuntu-kr yes?
[13:49] <sascha_> PuppyLinus: well its definately a i810, so what happens if you comment the 3 lines about horz vert and modeline?
[13:49] <Pici> bazhang: which language?
[13:49] <AlesYoper> ari_stress: It's terrible and feisty was better at that
[13:50] <bazhang> Pici: korean
[13:50] <AlesYoper> th_:  powertop optimisation enables another 20minutes, but still 1,5 hours less than in Xp. What would the "power" package do?
[13:51] <Baversjo> How do I choose to start xfce4-panel at login?
[13:51] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: do you think ubuntu causes it? i have an acer notebook, and the battery is dead too in no time

[13:52] <ader11> sascha_: Hibernate also gives me the same result, but instead of the screens going on "power save mode" they show me the tty7 cursor blink

[13:52] <ubotu> nfree: For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko
[13:52] <sascha_> ader11: hibernate should turn it completely off
[13:52] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: could be worse. you battery would be dead, i mean really dead. only lasted 3 minutes
[13:52] <bazhang> haha
[13:53] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: i think it's better if you unplug the battery
[13:53] <ader11> sascha_: Hibernate didn't turn it off at all
[13:53] <naxa> hi
[13:53] <bazhang> hi naxa
[13:53] <naxa> can you help me with my laptop? ubuntu freezes on that.
[13:54] <AlesYoper> ari_stress: I do it always while I am on AC
[13:54] <ader11> sascha_: Hibernate just gave the same result but the screens showed the tty7 cursor blink (you know, when you don't have x server/gdm)
[13:54] <AlesYoper> ari_stress: Have you tried powertop?
[13:54] <h0n3st> hijay, I want to enable ip_forwading but when I use sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding it return error and no permition! why?

[13:54] <ader11> sascha_: I'm on a desktop
[13:54] <AlesYoper> ari_stress: and do you have speedstep enabled?
[13:54] <PuppyLinus> sascha_: doesnt work.

[13:54] <ader11> sascha_: making it all the more troublesome :P
[13:55] <sascha_> ader11: indeed
[13:55] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: good to hear that. i've already lost my battery. not yet try powertop. will try it soon
[13:55] <ari_stress> AlesYoper: speedstep? i don't know, maybe acpi already enable it?
[13:55] <sascha_> ader11: on my desktop it works which suprised me alot. but i see no use for it on a desktop honestly.
[13:56] <ader11> sascha_: The real problem is that if I leave my computer unattended it automatically tries to suspend
[13:56] <AlesYoper> ari_stress: Speedstep changes your CPU frequency according to your needs (experts should correct me here). It saves a lot of power on laptops.
[13:56] <naxa> my hp pavilion dv6000 laptop freezes randomly in ubuntu. Strange sympthomps are: 1) under windows vista laptop works without any problem. 2) in ubuntu, when cooling, gnome often becomes 'gray' and/or wouldn't react  to anything but mouse moves (doesn't work but moves). 3) when mouse stops working too, laptop won't answer in 20 minutes then i get bored and restart. 4) strange green line are...
[13:56] <naxa> ...appearing and disapeearing fast and randomly on the screen, especially where black is rendered with 3d. nvidia geforce 7200 go is the card and nvidia is the ONLY working driver on it this case! 5) more symptomps to come
[13:56] <h0n3st> hijay, I want to enable ip_forwading but when I use sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding it return error and no permition! why? I used sysctl to enable that!
[13:56] <ader11> sascha_: I don't use it much, it's just that it's automatically invoked
[13:57] <sascha_> ader11: you can disable that in the gnome-power-manager
[13:57] <h0n3st> I want to enable ip_forwading but when I use sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding it return error and no permition! why? I used sysctl to enable that!

[13:58] <sascha_> ader11: its in the menu or try gnome-power-preferences

[14:12] <zLinux[mob]> how to disable firewall in ubnutnu?
[14:12] <naxa> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49587/
[14:12] <shade052> Cereal: then type "sudo chmod +x filename"
[14:12] <naxa> bazhang: this is my xorg.conf
[14:13] <Cereal__> Shade052: Ok, got it :)
[14:13] <shade052> Cereal: then add these lines "sleep 10" next line "conky" in the terminal
[14:14] <shade052> Cereal: mow give the full path of this file in the start up list
[14:14] <Cereal__> Shade052: Can I have that again please?
[14:15] <Cereal__> Shade052: How should I write it? just "/home/eax/conk"?
[14:15] <shade052> Cereal: yes
[14:15] <Cereal__> Shade052: Done :)
[14:15] <bazhang> naxa: not an x expert, but looks okay; others may wish to correct me (hopefully)--I have nearly the identical card so perhaps it is some other conflict causing this--have to google around a bit more :}
[14:16] <naxa> bazhang: you've got nvidia geforce 7200  go too? :)
[14:16] <shade052> Cereal: now when you reboot the sys this script will sleep for 10 secs and then run conky. it worked for me
[14:17] <Cereal__> Shade052: Thanks a lot :) I really hope this also works for me ^ ^ Here, have a cookie ^ ^*hands over a delicious cookie* :)
[14:17] <naxa> bazhang: ok i also think xorg.conf is very ok... i don't know what's the pborlem but i think it's something to do with cooling since when freeze occours it's normally also a "cooling period" of my laptop... cooling generally works, but when ubuntu freezes, it's also "cooling time"
[14:17] <shade052> Cereal: lol
[14:17] <wols> naxa: acpi
[14:18] <kidem> question, im using Firefox on ubuntu and when i go to myspace site to listen to a friends music he has made the player is half there and is flashing what am i missing?
[14:18] <wols> kidem: which flashplayre do you use?
[14:18] <naxa> wols: i used to use "noacpi" kernel option but it still freezes i think...
[14:18] <wols> naxa: think or know?
[14:19] <naxa> wols: think.. should i try? :D
[14:19] <bazhang> naxa: that sounds about right--is this a dual core (amd) with 64 bit gutsy?
[14:19] <naxa> wols: there were a case when it freezed why noacpi
[14:19] <kidem> wols - tell u truth i dont know what i got installed
[14:19] <naxa> bazhang: it is right
[14:19] <wols> kidem: dpkg -l |grep gnash
[14:19] <vinicius_> I installed some packages that deleted some of the ubuntu configuration ones... so I lost all the file associations and icons association to filetypes... wich package is responsible for this atributions?
[14:19] <naxa> bazhang: hp pavilion dv6000, amd turion64 x2, 2 gb ram, nvidia geforce 7200 go
[14:20] <kidem> wols -  free SWF movie player
[14:20] <jsoft> Any suggestions on a nice and simple finance manager gizmo?
[14:20] <naxa> bazhang: but gutsy is 32 bit i think
[14:20] <jsoft> Something which lets me track bills, accounts, etc?
[14:20] <wols> kidem: is it installed? "ii"?
[14:20] <Pici> jsoft: gnucash?
[14:20] <bazhang> naxa: I would try wols' suggestion--he is the go to guy in these parts :}
[14:20] <jsoft> Pici: thats not simple.
[14:20] <Pici> jsoft: Well, I've never used it ;)
[14:20] <wols> jsoft: there is one called ....ledget. sqledger or such I think
[14:20] <naxa> wols: so now i restart with noacpi and see if it works ok?
[14:20] <rockzman> naxa, i got almost nothing working using ubuntu with this laptop i got one also
[14:21] <kidem> wols - ii  mozilla-plugin-gnash   0.8.1-0ubuntu3     free SWF movie player - Plugin for Mozilla
[14:21] <wols> bazhang: unfortunately if it is acpi it's evil: very hard to fix
[14:21] <jsoft> wols: thanks
[14:21] <naxa> rockzman: you have the same laptop?
[14:21] <rockzman> naxa, the same one
[14:21] <wols> kidem: this is why. it's alpha software. some flash applets work, som dont'
[14:21] <naxa> rockzman: and did you make any progress?
[14:21] <rockzman> naxa,  and u gotta install nvidia drivers or use noapic
[14:21] <bazhang> wols: I watch and learn :} thanks!
[14:21] <wols> kidem: you want the adbobe flashplaer if you run 32bit ubuntu
[14:21] <rockzman> naxa, not much only video drivers are working but not the wireess..infrared works too
[14:21] <kidem> k thanks
[14:22] <naxa> rockzman: i installed nvidia drivers and now i'm gonna using noapic too... i used to use it but seemed no good
[14:22] <rockzman> naxa, u installed using envy ?
[14:23] <naxa> rockzman: one minute to pm i have to register :D
[14:23] <bazhang> ruh roh
[14:23] <naxa> naxa: not on this computer but i know what is it
[14:23] <bazhang> back in a moment
[14:23] <Pici> !envy | rockzman naxa
[14:23] <ubotu> rockzman naxa: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[14:23] <naxa> rockzman: not on this computer but i know what is it
[14:23] <wols> naxa: another thing to test is to NOT start X, make the notebook work heavily so cooling is active and check if it happens then
[14:23] <naxa> ubotu: thanks
[14:23] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[14:23] <Ullis> The name of the package to install compilers, make, etc is called build-essential right?
[14:24] <rockzman> naxa, i did that with mine using envy works perfect
[14:24] <wols> naxa: if it still happens, all your X programs are off the hook
[14:24]  * IndyGunFreak wonders why people are still using Envy/Automatix, given the number of installs they've hosed
[14:24] <naxa> wols: good idea
[14:24] <erisco> I am experiencing crashes with my nvidia 7600 card... what gives? I thought Linux and Nividia got along. These crashes happen randomly and the entire system locks... there is no response
[14:24] <maghettino> ciao
[14:24] <wols> IndyGunFreak: cuase both automatix and envy "work". the error of their ways only become apparent when they upgrade
[14:24] <maghettino> ei
[14:24] <IndyGunFreak> wols: true..
[14:24] <wols> so every new user thinks "they're so easy so cool, why isn't ubuntu giving them to me"
[14:25] <IndyGunFreak> wols: so i guess for the guy that only does clean installs, they might be ok.
[14:25] <Guest16155> hello, i am trying to install ubuntu on my computer .. and when i use the live cd the computer move sloww... and the ubuntu cant get to the desktop and the progress bar blinking slowly ?
[14:25] <wols> erisco: you sure it's the driver? tried with nv? seen any kernel oopses or panics in the logs?
[14:25] <IndyGunFreak> Guest16155: whats the system specs of the pc?
[14:25] <erisco> wols, I have the restricted driver installed, yes
[14:26] <wols> IndyGunFreak: no. sooner or later he needs an update (e.g. krenel problems) and blam! problem
[14:26] <erisco> wols, I am still looking in the Xorg log
[14:26] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: that doesn't mean its the nvidia driver causing the problem
[14:26] <wols> erisco: that's not what I asked
[14:26] <Guest16155> IndyGunFreak: last time when i installed ubuntu i had the same problem and then someone told me to press f6 in the installation and to add some line .. but i cant remember
[14:27] <IndyGunFreak> Guest16155: something like apci=off or something.. i'm not 100% sure of the tline though...
[14:27] <atlef> Guest16155: noapic maybe
[14:27] <Guest16155> someting like this
[14:27] <th_> hm.. is there any way to restart X from command line (without killall or such :P and as non-root)? kind of like ctrl-alt-backspace but scripted
[14:27] <IndyGunFreak> probably would have been a good idea to write that line down
[14:27] <naxa> rockzman: can you unfilter your pm? i am not registered. it says if you type  "/msg nickserv set unfiltered on" then i will be allowed to speak with you
[14:27] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, wols, I don't know what it causing the problem yet. I cannot find any problems in the Xorg log
[14:27] <rockzman> ah ok
[14:28] <naxa> rockzman: thanks
[14:28] <rockzman> naxa,  =)
[14:28] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: well when you started the conversation, you specifically said it was the nvidia driver
[14:28] <juano__> !X | th_:
[14:28] <ubotu> th_:: 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
[14:29] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, it has something to do with the nvidia card I have. The ATI card I had was working fine
[14:29] <wols> th_: gnome-session
[14:29] <Guest16155> IndyGunFreak: i sure it was someting with the word "ide" or "raid"
[14:29] <th_> ubotu: restartin gdm requires root
[14:29] <juano__> th_: ?dm would be gdm for gnome or kdm for kde
[14:29] <IndyGunFreak> Guest16155: i really don't know.
[14:29] <th_> doh :P
[14:29] <th_> to juano__
[14:30] <th_> wols: i think it's not exactly the same as hitting ctrl-alt-backspace
[14:30] <`TyraeL^aw> http://geroland.miniville.fr/ind :o :o
[14:30] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: did you just remove ATI, and install Nvidia, on the same card?
[14:30] <IndyGunFreak> *install
[14:30] <wols> th_: that key combo stops X, it doesn't start it as you asked
[14:30] <IndyGunFreak> or did you do a clean install after the removal of the ATI card
[14:31] <juano__> wols: it restarts the gdm actually
[14:31] <juano__> wols: and X
[14:31] <ubuntu_> hi im trying to back up my files but i cant seem to copy to my hdd cquse of some ristriction
[14:32] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu_: from a live cd?
[14:32]  * iblicf ...
[14:32] <juano__> ubuntu_: on what filesystem is the hdd formatted?
[14:32] <atlef> Guest16155 : look at this site for "cheatcodes" to pass to the kernel at boot http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/static/linux-kernel-parameters.php
[14:33] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, I am not quite sure what you mean by "on the same card". The ATI was an onboard, and the Nvidia is resting in a PCI-E slot.. the bios has been updated correctly to use the new card. As far as Ubuntu, I disabled the ATI driver and enabled the restricted nvidia driver. I had to additionally reconfigure the xorg.conf file with dpkg-reconfigure and I had to go through system recovery
[14:33] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: that was a typo, sorry... thought i cleared that up below it..
[14:33] <ubuntu_> yes im on cd live but i have a corupt hdd i zant to transfert the files from the corupt to the good hdd ussing the cd live juano__  the 2 are ntfs
[14:33] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, X is working, but crashes randomly. I am experienced the most crashes while playing a game called Urban Terror, but it has happened in other cases too
[14:34] <wols> erUSUL: remove all fglrx packages
[14:34] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, oh, sorry. No I did not do a clean install
[14:34] <juano__> ubuntu_: so the problem is that the one you want to write to doesn't have write permissions ?
[14:34] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: no idea.. ,*I* probably would have done a clean install switching from ATI to Nvidia, but thats just me...
[14:34] <ubuntu_> juano__: how can i install ntfs config on a cd live
[14:35] <juano__> !ntfs-3g | ubuntu_
[14:35] <ubotu> ubuntu_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[14:35] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, that's unfortunately not practical for me
[14:35] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: it never is.
[14:35] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: but i probably would have done the same thing on Windows, so..
[14:35] <wols> erUSUL: have you purged the ati drivers?
[14:35] <juano__> ubuntu_: see also !diskmounter
[14:35] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, the only thing I can really spot in the error log is the failure to load ACPI
[14:36] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu_: Gutsy Live CDs, should recognize XP partitions "out of the box", at least mine did.
[14:36] <rkwitt_> ab
[14:37] <erisco> IndyGunFreak, but I think that is only a laptop thing
[14:37] <IndyGunFreak> erisco: well, i'm talking about my computer, so..
[14:37] <wols> erisco: it's not
[14:37] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, its just opinion.
[14:37] <ubuntu_> IndyGunFreak: feisty;but im mountin the drives there now
[14:37] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu_: ok.
[14:37] <anas> problem in my ubuntu gusty .. i cant use some programs and folders. becouse my user dosnt have the premiton to use .? what should i do ?
[14:38] <IndyGunFreak> anas: what folders?
[14:38] <daniele> hi all, i just passed from debian to ubuntu but if in deb there was a kernel called 686-bigmem which supported Hyperthread, in ubuntu i didn'n finid anithing like this... is there a way to configure hyperthread?
[14:38] <erisco> wols, would that be any cause of my problem?
[14:38] <iNeo> anas: use the sudo command
[14:38] <anas> IndyGunFreak : "www" in apache2 ... and programs like vbox
[14:38] <IndyGunFreak> yah, use sudo.
[14:39] <anas> iNeo : i am using it like this but why ?
[14:39] <tal_> hello , does it possible to install ubuntu without seeing the progress bar ? (so i can see what running there ) ?
[14:40] <iNeo> anas: because the username you're loggind with can't start the program
[14:40] <IndyGunFreak> tal_: i dont think so..., you could use the alternate insall CD, and watch what it does, but it has no GUI.
[14:40] <th_> whoa. guess killall Xgl does what I "want" :P
[14:40] <atlef> tal_ : press f6 and remove the "quiet" bit
[14:40] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, didn't know that.
[14:41] <daniele> anyone knows how to set hyperthread in feisty?
[14:41] <humbolto> how do I xen-create-image an ubuntu guest on an debian etch host?
[14:41] <anas> IndyGunFreak , iNeo : i am using sudo now , but the vbox' share folder does not working becose of the premitions .
[14:41] <iNeo> daniele: isn't it allready active? take a look at the output from dmesg
[14:42] <atlef> daniele i think that is covered by the generic one, but not sure
[14:42] <Pici> atlef: It should be.

[14:57] <humbolto> Seems like debian's bootstrap version does not support bootstrapping ubuntu out of the box.
[14:57] <humbolto> So I am wondering, if I install ubuntu's bootstrap package, will I still be able to bootstrap debian xen guests?

[14:59] <IndyGunFreak> yubwyub: you can try going to system/prefs/appearance, then ont he visual effects tab(dependign on what you have now), change it.  None should do what you want
[15:00] <shade052> how to mount .iso files?
[15:00] <Myrtti> !iso
[15:00] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[15:00] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: opendns's servers see it at 81.171.100.21 just fine, and from what I can see some web-based dns checking services see it too
[15:00] <yubwyub> IndyGunFreak, but then it turns off all the other compiz-effects like the cube or?
[15:01] <IndyGunFreak> yubwyub: yes it would.
[15:01] <pawan> hello
[15:01] <juano__> ubuntu_: great :), your welcome
[15:01] <yubwyub> hmm... I must find anothe rway then....
[15:01] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: i've tried to ping/trace it an i get a dead reponse/no-reply every time.
[15:02] <ader11> I'm in linux-rt and VMware needs the location of the C header files for the kernel, any ideas?

[15:05] <jingjin1> hey
[15:05] <jingjin1> hello
[15:05] <fnf> Does anyone know how to fix the network interface's names?. My two network cards are conflicting with each other over the name. I've tried /etc/iftab but that didn't work (yeah, I've read through the man pages).

[15:06] <Rimdeker> Does anybody know a really good site for ubuntu themes and tutorials for theme engines?
[15:06] <Pici> !themes | Rimdeker
[15:06] <ubotu> Rimdeker: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[15:07] <simplyubuntu> hello all... HardDisk you here?
[15:07] <hdevalence> any idea why the partitioner would give me "failed to create a filesystem"?
[15:07] <Rimdeker> Are there also tutorials for theme engines?
[15:08] <IndyGunFreak> hdevalence: because it failed to create a file system?  :)
[15:08] <Pici> Rimdeker: Gnome-look and art.gnome.com might have some tutorials as well.
[15:08] <pigeon22> ader11: type: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[15:08] <simplyubuntu> does anyone know where i can find a really awesome screenshot of someone using compiz, and sort of work towards looking similar like that on my comp? i know awesomeness is subjective, but i don't care :P
[15:08] <wols> hdevalence: try to run mkfs manually
[15:08] <Rimdeker> Pici:Thank you
[15:08] <pawan> irc client for ubuntu
[15:09] <Rimdeker> I use Kopete
[15:09] <atlef> kvirc
[15:09] <th_> irssi !
[15:09] <simplyubuntu> pawan, try pidgin or xchat
[15:09] <zylmak> good morning, what is the command to view the right of a file or folder?
[15:09] <Pici> pawan: konversation, irssi, xchat, xchat-gnome
[15:09] <hdevalence> wols: I don't know how to
[15:09] <ader11> pigeon22: ?
[15:09] <pawan> ok
[15:09] <wols> hdevalence: man mkfs
[15:09] <Pici> zylmak: ls -l
[15:09] <zylmak> thanks
[15:10] <IndyGunFreak> pidgin is a terrible irc client... great for IMs, not for IRC.. use xchat, xchat-gnome, irssi, kvirc, whatever... they'll be better than pidgin
[15:10] <th_> damned... restarting gdm from X doesn't really work :)
[15:10] <simplyubuntu> does anyone know where i can find a really awesome screenshot of someone using compiz, and sort of work towards looking similar like that on my comp? i know awesomeness is subjective, but i don't care :P
[15:10] <tal_> when i am trying to install ubuntu , the installation running slowly (i think stuck) and the progress bar blink ?
[15:10] <zz1> fnf: Have you tried to reboot after modifying /etc/iftab ?
[15:11] <WuGutsyClan> hey in xmodmap I want keycode 115 to have Control_L, how would I go about doing this.. I have followed the instructions to do xmodmap keycode 115 = Control_L into commandline but it keeps saying it cannot find file keycode and 115 and =... help
[15:11] <pigeon22> go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type "sudo apt-get -y install build-essential" then type your password (which will not show up on the screen) and press enter.
[15:11] <ader11> pigeon22: You told me to type sudo apt-get install build-essential, what for?
[15:11] <Ullis> Could someone help me with mounting /dev/sda3 as /home in my newly installed ubuntu? I am looking at /etc/fstab and the part about UUID=xxxxxxx looks confusing to me.
[15:11] <IndyGunFreak> ader11: if you're rying to compile something from source that installs some basic tools so you don't get dependency probs
[15:12] <ader11> IndyGunFreak: I didn't even ask a question
[15:12] <Pici> pigeon22: please do not suggest -y, it is a bad habit to get into.
[15:12] <IndyGunFreak> then it was probably a typo.
[15:12] <kidem> ok im trying to install Flash for Firefox... it says it is isntalled i go to site that uses it says its not any ideas?
[15:12] <Pici> ader11: yes you did, you asked about linux-rt and headers.
[15:13] <IndyGunFreak> !flash | kidem
[15:13] <ubotu> kidem: 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
[15:13] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[15:13] <ader11> Pici: ah yeah
[15:13] <ader11> pigeon22: I already had that installed
[15:13] <Ullis> Anyone who knows how to do that? Or point me to some documentation for it?
[15:13] <IndyGunFreak> kidem: download flash from adobe.com (the tar.gz file), and follow the instructions.. it should work fine
[15:13] <Pici> !uuid | Ullis
[15:13] <ubotu> Ullis: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[15:13] <kidem> k thanks
[15:13] <forevertheuni> hey I have a intel dual core..how can I pin one PID to the cpu #0 and other PID to cpu #1
[15:14] <simplyubuntu> what do you guys recommend as the best looking linux distro??? anyone??
[15:14] <jgoo> I found another aweinspiring shortcut!
[15:14] <ader11> Pici: :P I got sucked into the interwebs and forgot about it
[15:14] <Ullis> Thanks, Pici :)
[15:14] <Sequin> Hello. Can someone help me dual booting with XP. I can see windows on the separate hd, but Grub never ask me which os to boot.
[15:14] <Pici> ader11: I hate when that happens ;)
[15:14] <jgoo> if you use super-alt-tab, you supertab through ALL open windows, not just those on your current desktop
[15:14] <Pici> simplyubuntu: #Ubuntu
[15:14] <Rimdeker> simplyubuntu: Linux Ubuntu
[15:14] <atlef> simplyubuntu : LinuxMint
[15:14] <IndyGunFreak> slackware
[15:14] <jgoo> everyone press super (Windows key) tab now! ok my work is done
[15:14] <IndyGunFreak> kind of a dumb question to pose to a channel dedicated to Ubuntu
[15:14] <Pici> jgoo: This is a support channel, please dont do that.
[15:14] <pigeon22> ader11: the directory of the files is: /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/build/include
[15:15] <ader11> IndyGunFreak: slackware - not good for newcomers
[15:15] <Pici> !offtopic
[15:15] <simplyubuntu> really? ubuntu? i love me ubuntu, but is it really the best looking? anything other than ubuntu?
[15:15] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:15] <ader11> pigeon22: Thank you :)
[15:15] <IndyGunFreak> ader11: i was being sarcastic
[15:15] <simplyubuntu> ader11 i agree
[15:15] <IndyGunFreak> !ot | ader11
[15:15] <ubotu> ader11: please see above
[15:15] <forevertheuni> simplyubuntu, dude...everything goes to the same
[15:15] <forevertheuni> u can install everything in every distro
[15:15] <Rimdeker> Whats so wrong aboutr super+tab ? For me its the wondows swifter
[15:15] <jgoo> I like how the bot counts line numbers and says 'please see above'
[15:16] <hdevalence> wols: man mkfs \n /bin/sh: man: not found
[15:16] <jgoo> Rimdeker: nothing is wrong about it... unless you call being superawesome wrong
[15:16] <ader11> IndyGunFreak: I didn't see anything above that would invite sarcasm :\
[15:16] <jgoo> I just found super-alt-tab also lets you switch to windows on other desktops
[15:16] <hdevalence> wols: btw, the CD image is correct
[15:16] <IndyGunFreak> ader11: nevermind.. it was apparently lost on you..
[15:16] <th_> screenshot galore then? how does your ubuntu look like? http://zirkonium.net/ubuntu-mbp.png
[15:16] <Rimdeker> jigo: lol
[15:16] <th_> :-)
[15:16] <jgoo> I really wanted to see if there was a .... how do you call it when you can tab through the faces of the cube to change desktops?
[15:17] <wols> hdevalence: mkfs.ext3 /dev/partitiontoformat
[15:17] <Pici> jgoo: ask in #compiz-fusion then :)
[15:17] <Rimdeker> jigo: i just roll my mouse wheel for that...
[15:17] <hdevalence> wols: I don't have mkfs either
[15:18] <jgoo> Rimdeker: I do want to change the grey patina to a shiny black surface to reflect the windows (just found out mouse scroll also controls the flowview of windows...)
[15:18] <wols> hdevalence: I don't believe you
[15:18] <hdevalence> wols: err nvm sorry
[15:19] <ElementalBelief_> hey guys sorry to bother yet again =P but i am having this weird problem and i kinda do need to burn some cds =P the computer doesn't mount blank cdrs but it does mount blank dvdrs.
[15:19] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: for burning iso files or just data or what
[15:20] <ElementalBelief_> everything, but i need to burn some music.
[15:20] <wols> ElementalBelief_: how can you mount blank media?
[15:20] <hdevalence> wols: attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir
[15:20] <jadams> where does dpkg ptu downloaded deb files?  I have some old ones I need to remove to ensure it downloads them again
[15:21] <wols> hdevalence: check dmesg
[15:21] <wols> jadams: dpkg doesn't download anything
[15:21] <jadams> wols: well, apt then
[15:21] <jadams> sorry
[15:21] <ElementalBelief_> i mean in the sense that it would come out in the desktop. or any other application doesn't find it as if i had a blank cd
[15:21] <wols> jadams: man apt-get. it has options for that
[15:21] <jadams> wols: thanks

[15:21] <finn> hi, what are the minimum specs for using compizfusion on a notebook?
[15:22] <arooni-mobile> hey folks!  is there any way to make thunderbird automatically check email in the background (i.e. i never launch the thunderbird client)?  or must i explicitly launch it at startup and such?
[15:22] <bazhang> 3D capable card for starters finn
[15:22] <wols> arooni-mobile: tbird can only check when launched
[15:22] <pawan12> hi
[15:22] <killer_> wow

[15:23] <gucci> hi
[15:23] <bazhang> hi pawan
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> th_: just so you don't feel completely ignored..  http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/Screenshot-1.jpg
[15:23] <juano_1> arooni-mobile: i believe there was an option for that... can't recall now
[15:23] <gucci> anyone help?
[15:23] <wols> hdevalence: probably a hardware problem
[15:23] <bazhang> ask gucci
[15:23] <pawan> whats up
[15:23] <gucci> anyone help?
[15:23] <Pici> gucci: Why are you using sudo to edit gconf?
[15:23] <wols> !ask|gucci
[15:23] <ubotu> gucci: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[15:23] <finn> are most notebooks that use a P4 or centrino equipped with 3D cards?
[15:23] <ElementalBelief_> the biggest problem is that it used to work fine in fiesty until i did the latest update. and then when i installed gutsy i thinking it would work again i was wrong =P
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> !ask
[15:24] <IndyGunFreak> good gracious, and also learn to wait 5sec for an ansewr.
[15:24] <gucci> bazhang..gconf-editor problem not solved yet
[15:24] <bazhang> finn: no idea--what is the card make and model
[15:24] <th_> IndyGunFreak: heh :)
[15:24] <Urbandale1990> anyone want to help me with a 'mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding'
[15:24] <Urbandale1990> ?
[15:24] <bazhang> gucci: Pici asked you a question
[15:24] <wols> finn: lspci will tell you
[15:25] <finn> ok thanks
[15:25] <IndyGunFreak> thats a very good question.
[15:25] <gucci> pici?
[15:25] <Pici> gucci: Why are you using sudo when using gconf-editor?
[15:25] <gucci> i used it pici
[15:25] <t-Omicr0n> I've managed to install the proprietarty ATI Radeon 9250 driver and I've got it running, but when I enable "videooverlay" in the device section of my xorg.conf file, all video and other overlayed stuff (like Tv-card) is of a wrong aspect ratio : I can only see the top half of the image. Where do I fix/configure this Xvideo stuff ?
[15:25] <gucci> but not saves my config
[15:25] <Pici> gucci: But why?
[15:25] <wols> gucci: he's seen that but WHY?
[15:26] <acidicchip> Anyone know of an IRC client comparable to mIRC?
[15:26] <wols> t-Omicr0n: you definitely haven't managed to install a proprietary ati radeon 9250 drievr since such a thing doesn't exist
[15:26] <IndyGunFreak> acidicchip: xchat or xchat-gnome.. both are quite similar
[15:26] <gucci> i wish i knew lol
[15:26] <Pici> gucci: gconf settings are per user, so you shouldnt be using sudo to run gconf-editor
[15:26] <Urbandale1990> acid: i use Xchat
[15:26] <ElementalBelief_> xchat is really nice acidicchip
[15:26] <B-rabbit> acidicchip, xcaht
[15:26] <B-rabbit> xchat
[15:26] <Azer> xchat
[15:26] <bloony> how do I add my windows partition to grub again?
[15:26] <acidicchip> I'm in xchat
[15:26] <Azer> xchat-gnome is kinda goofy
[15:26] <ElementalBelief_> and the winner is?
[15:26] <acidicchip> nothing like mIRC
[15:26] <Urbandale1990> :) seems to be everyone uses it
[15:27] <bazhang> konversation!
[15:27] <finn> is there an IRC chat program other than pidgin that can be encrypted?
[15:27] <IndyGunFreak> acidicchip: well, maybe run mirc in wine... i don't know.
[15:27] <wols> finn: google "silc"
[15:27] <acidicchip> yea, wine is having an issue with it
[15:27] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: It does  (not that I've used it)
[15:27] <atlef> acidicchip : try kvirc
[15:27] <t-Omicr0n> wols: aha and woops... I mean the ATI binary drivers from their own corporate website
[15:27] <gucci> it is ok without sudo but not saves
[15:27] <Urbandale1990> acid: i dont use gnome, it sucks, but ive gotten used to it. there isn't really anything comparable to mIRC that still WORKS
[15:27] <gucci> and not solves my problem
[15:27] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: what does?
[15:27] <acidicchip> there a big difference between xchat and xchat-gnome?
[15:27] <t-Omicr0n> wols: restricted drivers, is that the word I had to use ?
[15:27] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: I know a few people that use mIRC in wine.
[15:27] <Azer> acidicchip yes
[15:27] <Urbandale1990> acid: yeah
[15:27] <wols> t-Omicr0n: a) that's still untrue since those won't work with 9250  b) ubuntu has fglrx as restricted drievrs. for help with ati.com ones, ask ati. they made that crud, they support it
[15:27] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: oh ok.
[15:27] <killer_> why after 5 min ubuntu works really hard with compiz fusion
[15:27] <Ullis_> Pici: Thanks again for the help. I have /dev/sda3 mounted as my /home now. Only thing is that I have an icon with sda3 still on my desktop. Can I remove that somehow?
[15:28] <Pici> gucci: What value are you changing?
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> acidicchip: everyone says yes, but i don't see a big difference, i like xchat-gnome better than xchat
[15:28] <bazhang> killer_: need more info
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> i think it has a cleaner look.
[15:28] <bloony> how do I add my windows partition to grub again?
[15:28] <Azer> xchat-gnome has fewer features and settings
[15:28] <ElementalBelief_> wols: no idea right? i have a strange feeling it has something with the kernel
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> Azer: i guess i'm just a basic user.. cuz all i need is to log in and chat.
[15:28] <Pici> Ullis_: I think there is an option in one of the preferences to not show mounted disks on the desktop, check 'removable devices' or similar.
[15:28] <Urbandale1990> acidchip: gnome is cleaner, but very rarely has awkward errors that only gurus know the answers to
[15:28] <gucci> it changes nothing eg g-sessions desktop
[15:28] <killer_> i need more info
[15:28] <Azer> its like a scaled down version of xchat
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> i've not ran into anything i can do on xchat, i cn't do on xchat-gnome.
[15:29] <Azer> shrug
[15:29] <Ullis_> Pici: OK. I'll look for that, thanks
[15:29] <gucci> home trash folder
[15:29] <wols> ElementalBelief_: imho a disk problem. I know the same thing on a DVD burner of someone who can't see that there are any DVD-Rs in there, but burns CD-R fine.
[15:29] <gucci> i want them to seem on desktop
[15:29] <bazhang> killer_: works really hard is too vague--if you want help then provide some details
[15:29] <wols> t-Omicr0n: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[15:30] <Urbandale1990> I need some help concerning why my gnome installation says 'mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding. Creating link /home/kim/.kde/socket-kim-desktop. can't create mcop directory'
[15:30] <bazhang> naxa: hi
[15:30] <ElementalBelief_> wols, oh ok. ill just buy a new machine and get it out of the way =P
[15:31] <naxa> bazhang: hi (: now i am testing ubuntu without noapci but with freshen built nvidia driver from source
[15:31] <bloony> how do I add my windows partition to grub again?
[15:31] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: better to drop the snark and get some better cd-r's
[15:31] <t-Omicr0n> wols: fglrx - I selected my card and OS at ati.com and they send me that 8.28 driver for their radeon cards. Downgraded ubuntu to edgy so that I was using an older kernel / Xserver - the newer ones weren't supported by that driver
[15:31] <wols> naxa: have you tried with nv yet?
[15:31] <naxa> wols: nv never works for me, as i said

[15:31] <wols> t-Omicr0n: please run gutsy
[15:32] <bloony> bazhang: thx..
[15:32] <wols> t-Omicr0n: and use the proper driver
[15:32] <naxa> wols: i tried it and no help
[15:32] <Pici> gucci: probably because you ran it with sudo.  You'll need to reset the owner of all the files in your home directory to your user:  `sudo chown -R username:username /home/username`  where username is your user's username
[15:32] <naxa> wols: i've just tried in a couple of hours ago. blank screen
[15:32] <bazhang> do you have a question phoenixx?
[15:32] <wols> t-Omicr0n: not to mention you can't downgrade. you can only reinstall which is a sucky thing to do
[15:32] <acidicchip> brb, gonna check out xchat
[15:32] <acidicchip> (without -gnome)
[15:33] <naxa> bazhang: there was a guy here talking with me... rocksomething... is he here? i am not remembering his name but you could check in the log
[15:33] <ElementalBelief_> bazhang, is TDK a bad brand? been using them for god knows how long =P
[15:33] <naxa> bazhang: he's got the same laptop
[15:33] <wols> t-Omicr0n: fglrx especially such an old driver is a lot owrse than current ubuntu drvers. eg. no compiz and bugs like the one you encoutnered probably
[15:33] <t-Omicr0n> wols: I would love to, but what is the proper driver ? From what I've read, the fglrx driver from the ubuntu repos. doesn't support the 9250 anymore.
[15:33] <thompa> how do I check to see whats interrupting wget downloads?
[15:33] <wols> t-Omicr0n: ati is

[15:34] <t-Omicr0n> wols: That's the one I was using in the first place, but I needed TV-out support.
[15:34] <bazhang> naxa: yeah I remember..just a minute
[15:34] <naxa> bazhang: thank you!
[15:34] <killer_> ;
[15:35] <t-Omicr0n> wols: Is there a way to get TV-out support in that ati driver, other than going through the complicated-looking process of patching it ?

[15:37] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: try opening the burning app, add files to the virtual image, then click burn see if it recognizes your cd then
[15:37] <robertbw> thanx
[15:37] <ElementalBelief_> bazhang, i've tried that
[15:37] <ElementalBelief_> k3b acts retarded and just hangs
[15:37] <robertbw> is that specific to ubuntu?
[15:37] <khelll>  is there a way that i can connect my cell phone to my laptop? a software for example?
[15:37] <Pici> robertbw: Which? ##hardware?
[15:37] <robertbw> yes
[15:38] <robertbw> just go to #hardware....
[15:38] <Pici> robertbw: Nope. Thats just freenode (this irc network)'s hardware channel.
[15:38] <robertbw> ok
[15:38] <t-Omicr0n> wols: thx, I will look into that (whatever it may be - I'll search google)
[15:38] <robertbw> thanx..im going now

[15:38] <naxa> bazhang: just in meantime... i want to edit my gnome Menu but i cannot... i select edit menu, the editor appears, but when i want to edit nvidia settings menu item to run in root mode with gksu, the editor opens in the background... why does it opens in the background, i didn't notice when i started to write this...
[15:38] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: what about just the default burner--might be a k3b issue--I've had more than a few of those--additionally you would want to check what shows up to be mounted when inserted to computer

[15:39] <bazhang> Urbandale1990: see what
[15:40] <ElementalBelief_> bazhang, thats the thing, nautilus doesn't show the cdr.
[15:40] <Urbandale1990> bazhang: sorry, referring to acid
[15:41] <naxa> bazhang: no no i can start it. the problem is that this menu editor is VERY annoying! We wanted to rename "Iroda" submenu to "Office" for my girfriend (iroda = office in hungarian) becouse this is how we like it, but the editor instantly renames it back to "iroda". the details "pop up" in the background... sometimes i make something to be apparent but the editor unchecks it automatically, not allowing me to change what is visible in the menu. ca
[15:41] <naxa> n i do something to avoid these annoyances?
[15:41] <Rimdeker> Hey guys how do I find out whether I got GTK2 or not? And if not , where can I download it?
[15:42] <holycow> you have gtk
[15:42] <holycow> gtk2 even
[15:42] <ompaul> naxa, help with localisation -- see launchpad.net
[15:42] <Rimdeker> How do you know? lol
[15:42] <ph> when im upgrading my packages (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade), what kind of upgrading takes place?New versions of packages get installed?or only new ubuntu revisions (same versions, but new ubuntu patches)?
[15:43] <holycow> Rimdeker: because if you are asking that question, it means your not smart enough to run a distro that comes with gtk1
[15:43] <Rimdeker> holycow: How do you know?
[15:43] <Pici> ph: Depends what new versions are available.
[15:43] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: audio cd? for the cd-r issue is that what you mainly want to burn--or just mp3 to data cd
[15:43] <ompaul> ph the programs that need to be updated because of sever breakage or security fixes
[15:43] <Rimdeker> holycow: or I am simply totally new to this lol
[15:43] <holycow> thats okay, i'm buggin ya :)
[15:43] <ElementalBelief_> on the cd i just want to burn audio, for data i use the dvdrs
[15:44] <holycow> why do you want to know? theres virtually nothing on the repos that requires you to know that answer unless your coding up some ui bits
[15:44] <wols> Rimdeker: you run gnome?
[15:44] <naxa> ompaul: i will check thank you but what really annoyes me is the menu editor. I already found the files where gnome keeps these names and i edited them but i can only edit them from gnome, and when i log out gnome see that my config is not the default (i changed the default to be ok with us) and saves the wrong idea state to a local place... and i cannot delete them gnome always checks if i deleted them or made them change and saves the wrong st
[15:44] <naxa> ate back
[15:44] <holycow> in gtk
[15:44] <Rimdeker> wols: I want to use GTK2 themes /engines and they say I got to have it installed...
[15:45] <lukasz> Hi everyone
[15:45] <bazhang> ElementalBelief_: this is gutsy?
[15:45] <ElementalBelief_> yeap
[15:45] <WGGMk> Anyone really familiar with VMWare Workstation? I could use some specific help...
[15:45] <bazhang> weird
[15:45] <naxa> ompaul: the problem is that gnome is running... it's not enough to change de default system files and the locale files becouse i would have to change them in the memory, too...
[15:45] <ElementalBelief_> but it was also happening with fiesty after the last update
[15:45] <lukasz> I am wondering where menu.lst file is located?
[15:45] <Rimdeker> wols: I want to use GTK2 themes /engines and they say I got to have it installed...
[15:45] <bazhang> WGGMk: they have forums for that
[15:45] <Rimdeker> holycow: I want to use GTK2 themes /engines and they say I got to have it installed...
[15:45] <Pici> WGGMk: try #vmware
[15:45] <ElementalBelief_> bazhang, which is what i am trying to figure out, worked just fine before that update
[15:45] <naxa> lukasz: there is /boot/grub/menu.lst for grub
[15:46] <novaterata> Hello I need help with no sound in firefox on amd64 gutsy
[15:46] <lukasz> thank you so much
[15:46] <lukasz> :)
[15:46] <WGGMk> bazhang: Pici: tried both, nothing on the forums and #vmware no one seems to respond
[15:46] <ph> Pici, ompaul : So, what you are saying is that new versions (as released by the author of the package) do NOT get installed, but only if there exists a new ubuntu patch (against the originally installed version of the package), fixing some kind of substantial problem..?
[15:46] <holycow> Rimdeker: you are good to go
[15:46] <novaterata> i have no sound in flash or gmail
[15:46] <doppis> anyone know a fix for the hal.dll problem with dual booting?
[15:46] <anas> i have winxp in vbox , i cant use access share folder from winxp becouse i dont have the premetion .
[15:46] <DSteele> naxa, tried "sudo alacarte" ?
[15:46] <naxa> bazhang: i don't think this new driver will work, anyway... i just saw the green lines... althought ubuntu is up and running for a long time now... (30 minutes:))
[15:46] <naxa> DSteele: no, what is that?
[15:47] <Pici> ph: New versions released by the author are not synced into the package repositories.  We do stable releases every 6 months, not a rolling release like Debian does.
[15:47] <DSteele> running the menu editor as root
[15:47] <naxa> DSteele: oh i see
[15:47] <WGGMk> What im trying to do, is install & run a Virtual Machine to/from a Samba Share.. Wondering if this is possible...?
[15:47] <naxa> DSteele: will try now
[15:47] <beni> hey guys
[15:47] <wols> WGGMk: yes
[15:47] <beni> does the alternate CD include the crypt-tools in order to create an encrypted hdd?
[15:47] <anas> i have winxp in vbox , i cant use access share folder from winxp becouse i dont have the premetion .
[15:48] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-457379.html ElementalBelief_ some steps to try
[15:48] <doppis> I am trying to install xp on a external hd, 7.04 is already preinstalled on my laptop and I am having problem with the hal.dll missing or corrupted
[15:48] <naxa> DSteele: yes. no good. It renames back to "iroda" from "office". iroda is the default in hungarian. I wont even see the rename process it's so fast
[15:48] <WGGMk> wols: you have done this?? because within VMWare, it will NOT let me navigate to the samba share directory
[15:48] <ph> Pici, So, new versions released by the author, are only synced into the repository of the upcomming release...thanx alot for clearing this up for me guys
[15:48] <ElementalBelief_> bazhang, thanks
[15:48] <Pici> ph: Sure thing
[15:48] <DSteele> naxa, ic sorry
[15:48] <wols> WGGMk: it doesn't matter if vmware or virtualbox. noth can do it if you set up your networking right
[15:48] <naxa> DSteele: no problem at least i got to know how is this program called :)
[15:48] <naxa> DSteele: maybe i can find a solution from now that i know the name
[15:49] <lukasz> I will be back with more problem heh only amarok ones
[15:49] <naxa> DSteele: on google
[15:49] <novaterata> anyone have any idea why sound works in everything but firefox i've done all of the libflashsupport  installs and pulseaudio, and still nothing
[15:49] <WGGMk> wols: what are the specific's around the networking to achieve this?
[15:49] <doppis> I am trying to install xp on a external hd, 7.04 is already preinstalled on my laptop and I am having problem with the hal.dll missing or corrupted, anyone have any idea what i should do?
[15:49] <Pici> novaterata: What version of Ubuntu?
[15:50] <bazhang> naxa: well, at least it is running that long :} (fingers crossed)
[15:50] <wols> WGGMk: use bridging

[15:51] <doppis> doesn't this issue deal with ubuntu though?
[15:51] <bazhang> naxa: using compiz and running a movie
[15:51] <WGGMk> wols: my physical setup is Internet >> Modem >> eth0 (server) >> eth1 (dhcp) >> Access Point >> Clients
[15:51] <bazhang> doppis: not really
[15:51] <wols> doppis: hal.dll does NOT deal with ubuntu at all
[15:51] <ompaul> doppis, na it is a windows failure to work with the rest of the world not within our space
[15:51] <doppis> alrighty :O
[15:52] <Urbandale1990> doppis: are you using 7.04?
[15:52] <naxa> bazhang: compiz is on extra effects state... by the way.. how can i make compiz do the fire burning up with colorful lights effect when closing a window? i changed it in the settings at animation but nothing happened...
[15:52] <anas> Pici : can't use share folder of vbox becouse i dont have premetions to .what should i do ?
[15:52] <wols> WGGMk: your physical network has pretty much nothing to do with virtual machnes
[15:52] <doppis> yes i am

[15:52] <bazhang> Urbandale1990: please not here
[15:53] <jgoo> ok, I am using brasero to rip the DVD image to an iso... seems to grab the keys.... I will then burn it to another DVD and check it works, but this, plus QDVDAuthor seems to have replaced all application I used to use :-)
[15:53] <wols> bloony: which partition has a NTLDR or a boot.ini?
[15:53] <ompaul> !grub | bloony
[15:53] <WGGMk> wols: well if you need to use a bridged network, then i would not be able to use DHCP for the clients right? thats what im tying to figure out.. I dont think bridging is a solution I can take. Perhaps its possible thru VPN (Hamachi)???
[15:53] <naxa> bazhang: i don't know :) what is it?
[15:53] <bazhang> bloony: did you get the grub how to? best to read it carefully
[15:53] <Urbandale1990> bazhang: what are you referring to? answering him?

[15:54] <Urbandale1990> doppis: i had the same issue, but when i upgraded, it went away. I don't really know why other than maybe I was missing a library. maybe someone can help you elsewhere, since this really isn't the place
[15:54] <MaDLlama77> i like quanta but it doesnt seem to be very good for externeal css

[16:02] <WGGMk> wols: like mount /<??> /media/smb
[16:02] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Samba_Server WGGMk
[16:02] <wols> WGGMk: no. man mount. terminal. NOT nautilus or other training wheels
[16:02] <Joelito> How to eliminate or purge (including files from them) some users and usets gropus that I create?
[16:02] <wols> WGGMk: yes like that
[16:02] <bloony> wols: thats what fdisk -l says
[16:03] <bloony> wols: can I just use /dev/sda4 in menu.lst?
[16:03] <wols> bloony: why did you say windows was sdc2 then?
[16:03] <lukasz> I had to edit menu.lst so ubuntu would start fast and one guys guide helped on forums :)
[16:03] <wols> bloony: you cannot
[16:03] <katyush-free> Urbandale1990, sorry, not a gamer....good luck....
[16:03] <Urbandale1990> Joelito, system>administration>users and groups
[16:03] <lukasz> Ubuntu is the best I love it :)
[16:03] <Pici> Urbandale1990: Have you tried running nwn with bash instead of just doing ./nwn ?
[16:03] <bloony> wols: cause I was mixing.. and I told you further up here..
[16:03] <Urbandale1990> katyush-free, thats ok, i just cant remember using ANY KDE apps
[16:03] <lukasz> My ati works great on it :)
[16:04] <Urbandale1990> pici, no, but i dont exactly know how to do that *grins sheepishly*
[16:04] <wols> bloony: I want to know ALL the different parttions you have right now. then I can help you.not before
[16:04] <bazhang> offtopic lukasz
[16:04] <bloony> wols: but is it (hd0,3) or something?
[16:04] <lukasz> ok sry
[16:04] <Joelito> Urbandale1990: I try that, but still appear on the menu :(
[16:04] <Pici> Urbandale1990: Well, you're doing ./nwn right now to run the game, right?
[16:04] <Urbandale1990> Joelito, are you just trying to delete a group?
[16:04] <Urbandale1990> Pici, right...
[16:04] <CoasterMaster> If my wi-fi password is saved, how can I retrieve it? [off Ubuntu]
[16:05] <Pici> Urbandale1990: do this:  bash nwn
[16:05] <wols> bloony: since you're apparently unable to give non contradictory answers I don't know what it is
[16:05] <ompaul> bloony, do this type sudo fdisk -l and put the results in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org then report the url to the channel thanks
[16:05] <Joelito> Urbandale1990: users and groups
[16:05] <lukasz> by the way how do i display how much space I got?
[16:05] <Joelito> Urbandale1990: To have only the default one from installation.
[16:06] <MaDLlama77> ok ive been giving kompozer another look and it seems I may have been a bit hasty in choosing quanta plus first
[16:06] <MaDLlama77> quanta has a nicer interface imo, but kompozer has a much better set of features for workin with css
[16:06] <bazhang> http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php lukasz
[16:06] <Urbandale1990> pici, ok, i did that and got 'mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding. Failed to initialize graphics. nwn: line 12:  5017 Aborted                 (core dumped) ./nwmain $@'
[16:06] <lukasz> thnx bazhang
[16:07] <Joelito> Urbandale1990: When I try to delete one, it says: "but his personal directory won't delete"
[16:07] <gilster> CoasterMaster: you can look for key in the KeyRing manager....
[16:08] <Urbandale1990> Joelito, well, you can manually delete it(the home/user_name folder) but I don't remember the terminal command for it
[16:08] <Urbandale1990> pici, uh, i looked in the folder
[16:08] <CoasterMaster> gilster, didn't think it was that easy!
[16:08] <CoasterMaster> thanks
[16:08] <bloony> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49594/
[16:08] <gilster> CoasterMaster: try it. you know where that is?
[16:08] <Joelito> Urbandale1990: ok, I'll search for that, thanks :)
[16:09] <Urbandale1990> Joelito, no problem
[16:09] <CoasterMaster> gilster, yeah, already got the password i need.....thanks!

[16:09] <Pici> Urbandale1990: Also try removing the grave accents ` from OPT_USERNAME=`kim`
[16:09] <Urbandale1990> pici, and there is a file called secret-cookie? the only line there is '9b27f1b168a3a920673159453157ef1f'
[16:09] <Pici> Urbandale1990: Turns out I was looking at your post when I searched for this on the forums
[16:09] <wols> bloony: (hd0,3) is windows from the looks if /dev/sda4 really has your ntldr and boot.ini on it. however ubuntu's sudo update-grub should see that on its own and add it to menu.lst
[16:09] <ankka> hello, how do I use aptitude to remove a metapackage (xubuntu-desktop) and everything it brings with the package?
[16:10] <Urbandale1990> pici, :) i dont believe anyone has responded yet
[16:10] <bloony> wols: ok thx
[16:10] <mavi-> ankka: aptitude remove <package>
[16:10] <naxa> bazhang: ok this is my theory about the problem: on this laptop ubuntu cannot work with apci... the nvidia geforce 7 is overheating, green lines are appearign and then cooler starts to cool the graphic card. sometimes something goes wrong and everything freeze.
[16:10] <Urbandale1990> pici, what exactly do you mean remove the grave accents from it?
[16:10] <ankka> mavi-: oh, hmm
[16:11] <Pici> Urbandale1990: it says OPT_USERNAME=`kim`  change it to OPT_USERNAME=kim
[16:11]  * jgoo just learned super-e and how awesome it is
[16:11] <bloony> wols: update-grub didnt see it tho..
[16:11] <bazhang> naxa: you might want to file a bug report or search launchpad.net for one and a possible workaround
[16:11] <wols> bloony: if it doesn't work to boot from windows after you put in (hd0.3) tell us what exactly happens, what's on screen etc
[16:11] <ankka> mavi-: no. it only removes the metapackage, I want to remove also everything it included
[16:11] <bloony> wols: yup..
[16:11] <naxa> bazhang: i don't know launchpad.net is it easy to learn?
[16:11] <ompaul> bloony, also in paste bin put your /boot/grub/menu.list
[16:11] <mavi-> ankka: it removes all that doesnt have deps that are installed
[16:11] <andi5> jgoo: what is the super-e?  i only know super-g
[16:11] <bazhang> jgoo nice but offtopic
[16:11] <wols> bloony: dor a "ls -al" to list the content of the root on /dev/sda4 please and pastebin it too
[16:11] <Urbandale1990> pici, im sorry, I may not be getting it, but where exactly do i do this? in an argument when I run it? or in some file?
[16:12] <bloony> wols: it worked before so should work.. I just didnt remember what I used in the menu.lst file..
[16:12] <mavi-> ankka: so the stuff that doesnt get removed has been marked as needed for other packages
[16:12] <ompaul> bloony, also in paste bin put your /boot/grub/menu.list
[16:12] <Pici> Urbandale1990: Oh.. nevermind.
[16:12] <Urbandale1990> pici, sorry if i'm just not understanding what you mean...
[16:12] <bloony> gonna have to try this and go to bed
[16:13] <ankka> mavi-: well I did remove xubuntu-desktop and only the metapackage got removed.. weird, I guess it's easier to do a clean install after all
[16:13] <intelikey> warez Q   if i dl a file using wget   and have not agreed to any terms what so ever, am i bound by any laws to not edit the file ?
[16:13] <bloony> got stuff to do tomorrow..
[16:13] <Newuserr> hi can anybody tell me how i can close ports
[16:13] <bloony> but thanx a bunch to ya
[16:13] <ompaul> !piracy | intelikey
[16:13] <Pici> Urbandale1990: I was looking in that script that you posted along with your question.  Typically those accents ` should not be used in config files, they mean something else when used on the command line.

[16:13] <DSteele> Newuserr, use firestarter
[16:14] <Urbandale1990> pici, ohhh, you want me to edit the script and reinstall?
[16:14] <intelikey> ompaul i see so asking advice is not welcome here ?

[16:14] <lukasz> i will restart and see if the modules work
[16:14] <Hydrow> in uuntu 7.10
[16:14] <sYn_0n3> whats ur problem with sound
[16:14] <Newuserr> Dsteele: i use it but it shuts down after five minutes or so is that normal does that happen sometimes?
[16:14] <Hydrow> that i have no sound :)
[16:14] <sYn_0n3> what kind of sound card..are u using alsa or oss?
[16:15] <Hydrow> one moment...
[16:15] <Urbandale1990> pici, thats ok, im out of ideas as well. ill be back on if it works or if it doesn't. thanks

[16:15] <sidewalk> there is a small delay

[16:15] <sidewalk> how do i get rid of that delay?
[16:15] <x-X-x> anyone here play warzone 2100 and know how to solve a resolution issue im having? i use a 1280x800 lcd and the game screen is being cut at the bottom so i cant change the resolution in settings

[16:17] <sidewalk> bazhang: i have a really good graphics card, and 1gb memory, so it's not one of those issues

[16:30] <bazhang> soda: edit id3 tags?
[16:30] <GHOST> rkj       it works even with dsb systems

[16:31] <rkj> I was specifically worried about compatibility of sound applications, having read that KDE uses alsa and Gnome uses something else. But then I opened up the sound recorder and noticed it uses the alsa mixer.
[16:31] <lorenzo_> so one idea about what is happening?
[16:31] <wols> WGGMk: let's ask another way: what permissions and owner has /media/VM?
[16:31] <bazhang> !info easytag
[16:31] <ubotu> easytag: viewing, editing and writing ID3 tags. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.2-1 (gutsy), package size 830 kB, installed size 2648 kB
[16:31] <wols> lorenzo_: "mount". what does it say?
[16:31] <WGGMk> wols: sorry, from within the directory ls -ld returns "drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2007-12-26 11:18

[16:32] <Rimdeker> Does anybody know how to start the gtk-smooth-engine ?? I compiled and installed it but I don't know how to start it

[16:32] <bazhang> soda easytag? see info above
[16:32] <WGGMk> wols: tried sudo chown <user> /media/VM and says Operation not permitted
[16:32] <wols> WGGMk: that's the problem. make it world writable
[16:32] <lorenzo_> vols: where i paste the results?
[16:32] <WGGMk> wols: using chmod?
[16:32] <wols> WGGMk: unmount, then do it

[16:35] <wols> lorenzo_: your /home is /dev/hda6 on /home type ext3 (rw)
[16:35] <euskadi> and still when i click into
[16:35] <wols> lorenzo_: and that partition happens to be out of room
[16:35] <euskadi> it doesn't launch
[16:35] <soda> bazhang: I'm not trying to be a jerk but come on. I specifically asked to a command line tool that can do arbitrary format strings. I know you want to help but you don't help me if you ignore what I ask for.
[16:35] <soda> s/to/for
[16:35] <wols> !volunteer | soda
[16:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about volunteer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:35] <wols> !volunteers | soda
[16:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about volunteers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:35] <Dr_willis> :)
[16:35] <lorenzo_> soda: what i do?
[16:35] <WGGMk> wols: should i use 777??
[16:36] <wols> WGGMk: you can
[16:36] <WGGMk> wols: samba should also say its a writable directory lol.. god im dumb
[16:36] <soda> wols: I understand that people are volunteers. That doesn't excuse any body from being willfully ignorant
[16:36] <ompaul> !patience | soda
[16:36] <ubotu> soda: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[16:36] <bazhang> soda ouch
[16:37]  * MenZa hands bazhang an ice pack.
[16:37] <wols> soda: good luck getting help in here with your attitude. have a nice day
[16:37] <bazhang> thanks MenZa wols ompaul
[16:37] <soda> wols: "bazhang: You completely ignored the requirements I set out." That was rude?
[16:38] <ompaul> soda, this argument is offtopic - so lets leave it alone
[16:38] <lorenzo_> soda: so,, i unmount the home?
[16:38]  * MenZa nods
[16:38] <Pici> soda: Lets start over, what are you looking for?
[16:38] <WGGMk> wols: would i also need to put /media/VM in fstab??
[16:38] <MenZa> And Pici steps in and saves the day.
[16:38] <soda> Pici: Anyone know of a command line tool that can display mp3 id3 tag information with arbitrary format strings? That is, I want to be able to specify that the information is printed like "%t: %a" where %t and %a are title and artist from id3 tag.
[16:38] <wols> WGGMk: you don't need to. but it can be convenient
[16:38] <MenZa> soda: I think id3tag might do that
[16:38] <MenZa> soda: I'm not certain that's the name of the program
[16:38] <MenZa> let me check
[16:39] <WGGMk> wols: ok, so i ssh'ed to the server and chmod the directory
[16:39] <MenZa> soda: id3v2
[16:39] <WGGMk> wols: changed samba to be writeable for the directory..a nd remounted.. still same prob.. and i going about this the wrong way?
[16:39] <wols> WGGMk: no. you chmod the mountpoint. not the files in there
[16:39] <soda> MenZa: Doesn
[16:39] <soda> MenZa: Doesn't do arbitrary format strings AFAICT
[16:39] <wols> WGGMk: and yes, sambashare should be writable too of course
[16:40] <MenZa> soda: hmm, I think you're correct
[16:40] <wols> chaning perms of the files int he share wasn't necessary
[16:40] <nn-ds> what program is the same as cp except puts out a status bar while copying?
[16:40] <WGGMk> wols: can it hurt?
[16:40] <Miko-001> hello?
[16:40] <soda> MenZa: I can easily get a list of CLI of idv3 tools but I have so far been unable to find any that can print arbitrary format strings.
[16:41] <wols> WGGMk: no, cannot hurt. but loosening perms without reason is sorta bad.it's what windows does, and look at the result
[16:41] <MenZa> soda: Yeah; I thought I'd used it before, and found support for that
[16:41] <wols> WGGMk: just feels wrong :)
[16:41] <Pici> soda: I just did a `aptitude search id3`
[16:41] <MenZa> soda: my memory is bad, though
[16:41] <WGGMk> wols: lol, how can i undo it lol
[16:41] <WGGMk> wols: i should chmod the directory before mount it right?
[16:41] <wols> WGGMk: as I said: umount, chmod the mountpoint, remount
[16:42] <WGGMk> wols: got ya
[16:42] <soda> Pici: Yes, unfortunately none of those indicate 'format string' features. The ones I installed did not have it.
[16:42] <nn-ds> is there a cp with a status bar ?
[16:42] <Miko-001> I'm running geubuntu, and I'm getting ready to use the updater. it says that 7.10 is out and there is an install button next to it. will that remove enlightenment and all the settings to it, and install a fresh 7.10 .
[16:43] <soda> nn-ds: Maybe rsync or scp
[16:43] <ivze> Is there anyone, ready to help me or tell, n which direction i shall dig? I have a problem : after adding additional memory (512 Mib - > (512+1024)Mib) my kernel (2.6.22-14) have started to freeze (completely, no kernel panic, no reaction to NumLock button). I have allready conducted several experiments, however, yet with no result. Thanks to everybody, for just reading this.
[16:43] <lorenzo_> soda: please,, what can i do?
[16:43] <wols> Miko-001: it will upgrade thimngs for which an upgraded package is available. your E17 will stay
[16:43] <wols> ivze: run a memtest
[16:44] <ivze> wols: 1 pass, OK
[16:44] <soda> lorenzo_: I'm not the person that you are looking for
[16:44] <Miko-001> wols: so it just upgrades that packages installed on this system, and will not change any settings whatsoever?
[16:44] <wols> ivze: how long did you run memtest and how long until the kernel freezes?
[16:44] <bazhang> ivze: is the ram seated correctly?
[16:44] <wols> Miko-001: yes, that's the idea
[16:44] <lorenzo_> soda: thanks anyway
[16:44] <razer> plz can any one tell me how to fix my wireless plz
[16:44] <razer> ?
[16:45] <Miko-001> wols: sorry, I'm more of a Sabayon kind of guy and I don't use ubuntu, so this is new to me.
[16:45] <wols> razer: not if you don't giev us more info
[16:45] <wols> !wireless | razer
[16:45] <bazhang> razer: need more info
[16:45] <ubotu> razer: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[16:45] <wols> Miko-001: sabayone doesn't have upgrades when new releases come out?
[16:45] <WGGMk> wols: still same issue.. i unmounted, chmod 777 /media/VM, (even tried chown <user>), remounted.. cant even create a directory
[16:45] <razer> my wireless is not working friend
[16:45] <Miko-001> I'm trying to convert some people to linux, and their new so I figured ubuntu would be the best bet for some noobs.
[16:45] <wols> WGGMk: what is the smb.conf entry for the share?
[16:46] <WGGMk> wols: sec
[16:46] <sYn_0n3> miko---i myself have converted a few people
[16:46] <Miko-001> Sabayon is another version of gentoo I guess you could say, so there is no automatic updater, yet.
[16:46] <wols> razer: a) I am not your friend  b) this is as equally useless a problem description than before
[16:46] <sYn_0n3> they state that its easier than windows as a desktop enviro
[16:46] <Miko-001> I've converted a lot to sabayon, but they knew their way around a computer.
[16:46] <ivze> I can't definitely say, how much time the memtest take (it was not today) (10 -- 30  min), but the average time, a freeze happens after launching the Linux, is about 30 min.
[16:46] <sYn_0n3> sabayon??
[16:46] <mikeaz> hey, quick question for anyone. how do i get the center button on my mouse to scroll in firefox, instead of just going to my homepage?
[16:47] <sYn_0n3> you said its a version of ubuntu..does it use the portage updates?
[16:47] <Miko-001> Yeah, I love sabayon.  I'm a betatester for them.
[16:47] <wols> ivze: run memtest ovrenight. 4 hours is minimum to get an inklinkg if it's sorta stable
[16:47] <sYn_0n3> i installed gentoo once a few years ago
[16:47] <WGGMk> wols: has writeable = yes... besides that only comment and path are defined
[16:47] <razer> wols, oki i cant fint my networks wireless icant search for my wireless but when i typr iwconfig i can see the wlan0 is there and configured
[16:47] <Pici> !offtopic
[16:47] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:47] <wols> ivze: check if it's not heat or power issues
[16:47] <Miko-001> Sabayon is like ubuntu, but the gentoo version.  Gentoo for n00bs.
[16:47] <bazhang> sYn_0n3: a version of gentoo and offtopic here
[16:47] <predaeus> mikeaz, wheel or button?
[16:47] <wols> razer: what wlan chip?
[16:47] <WGGMk> wols: i should prolly mention that the share is an external HD of the server... mounted to the server in /media/LUGGS
[16:47] <sYn_0n3> sorry guys
[16:47] <maybeway36> sabayon is everything
[16:47] <ivze> wols: well, i will try. Thank You!
[16:48] <mikeaz> predaeus: the wheel works fine, but i want the button to work
[16:48] <wols> WGGMk: any errors on the samba log on the server?
[16:48] <razer> wols, linksys wusb54g
[16:48] <Miko-001> They are working on a binary package installer for people who like to install prebuilt stuff, kinda like ubuntu.
[16:48] <WGGMk> wols: where is that located?
[16:48] <wols> WGGMk: irrelevant. as long as it's moutne on the server
[16:48] <wols> razer: and it uses what chip? I asked for the chip not the name of the usb stick
[16:48] <wols> WGGMk: /var/log/samba/
[16:49] <Miko-001> So, we will have source code installer (portage) and binary installer (entropy), they work together too.
[16:49] <razer> wols , rt2500usb i thnk how can i know
[16:49] <Newuserr> does anyone in here knows which service is using port 50153?
[16:49] <wols> razer: and what driver do you use for it
[16:49] <sYn_0n3> cool
[16:49] <wols> razer: do you have the firmware for the rt2500usb in /lib/firmware/?
[16:49] <razer> wait
[16:49] <wols> Newuserr: netstat -anp |grp 50153
[16:49] <wols> Newuserr: netstat -anp |grep 50153
[16:50] <Miko-001> Anyway, thank you for your help. I really appreciate what you guys do for the community.  I may not use ubuntu out of personal preferance, but I'm glad someone is out there helping people convert to linux easily.
[16:50] <predaeus> mikeaz, in Linux the middle mouse button serves for fast copy/paste by default. I don't know how to change it but it is so practical anyway.
[16:50] <razer> wols, i dont think so i use the normal driver , after installing ubuntu
[16:50] <Miko-001> Thanx again, C ya.
[16:51] <WGGMk> wols: last error i have recorded was for yesterday
[16:51] <wols> !wireless | razer
[16:51] <ubotu> razer: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[16:51] <predaeus> mikeaz, you just leftclick-dragselect over text, and then middle-click where you want to paste the text.
[16:51] <razer> wols , i didnt get u ?
[16:51] <wols> WGGMk: chown the directory to your user
[16:51] <WGGMk> wols: on the server?
[16:51] <wols> razer: ubuto gave you an url with howtos
[16:51] <Newuserr> wols: i did it but nothing happens???
[16:51] <bazhang> razer: you need to read those links
[16:51] <mikeaz> predaeus: that's cool, but my left hand is always resting right over control c and v
[16:51] <wols> WGGMk: yes
[16:52] <predaeus> mikeaz, hm, well sorry I don't know how to change that behaviour.
[16:52] <razer> wols oki thnx ill read form my 100 time :D if ididnt find it ill come again
[16:52] <wols> Newuserr: use sudo
[16:52] <wolfric> someone being bad?
[16:53] <wolfric> whats with the bans
[16:53] <wols> razer: search on google for "rt2500usb ubuntu". there are bound to be many howtos for it. avoid the ndiswrapper using ones
[16:53] <WGGMk> wols: same problem
[16:53] <wols> wolfric: ompaul is just affirming is harshness
[16:53] <kidbuntu> how do you connect to the internet using ubuntu via dial up connection only?
[16:53] <wols> can't think he'd become soft. bad for his image
[16:53] <wolfric> lol fair enough
[16:53] <wols> WGGMk: what is the exact error?
[16:54] <wols> kidbuntu: with pppd
[16:54] <wols> kidbuntu: you could use something like wvdial
[16:54] <wols> !info wvdial
[16:54] <ubotu> wvdial: PPP dialer with built-in intelligence. In component main, is optional. Version 1.56-1.2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 103 kB, installed size 320 kB
[16:54] <WGGMk> wols: well besides not being able to create folders/files inside the mount point.. no error
[16:54] <wolfric> hey does anyone know when it says "please take out the disk put back in the tray and press enter" if i had closed my pc prematurly around then would it screw everything up?
[16:54] <wolfric> after installing from live cd
[16:54] <wols> WGGMk: please paste the share entry from smb.conf
[16:54] <WGGMk> wols: sec
[16:54] <wols> wolfric: prematurely?
[16:55] <wolfric> as in it froze so i just hit the power button
[16:55] <wolfric> now i get a multitude of error messages all from different reasons and i cant boot ANYTHING

[16:58] <billy> im a linux noob running ubuntu, and im trying to install the madwifi drivers so as i can use aircrack. however, ubuntu already set up my wireless card, but I haven't a clue how to or whether i have to uninstall the initial drivers i have to install madwifi? ive done a lot of mucking about, is there a way to check if the madwifi drivers are installed via terminal?
[16:58] <WGGMk> wols: will webmin recognize or overwrite this change?
[16:58] <wolfric> ubuntu must have done it automaticly
[16:59] <wols> wolfric: you did install it it's part ofubuntu
[16:59] <wolfric> i never touched my internal hard drive when i installed it this time
[16:59] <iCondoulo> would you suggest using Super Grub Disk to fix GRUB?
[16:59] <wolfric> i just installed ubuntu from a live cd on my usb connected external hard drive
[16:59] <wols> wolfric: answer my question
[16:59] <Vajayjay> Hi how do I do a dual boot to install windows xp on a ubuntu system

[16:59] <wolfric> i installed ubuntu i assume grub came with it
[17:00] <maybeway36> with a live CD, run gparted

[17:00] <wols> Vajayjay: install windows, install ubuntu. done
[17:00] <maek> maybe someone knows, is there a way to pick network settings at boot time for ubuntu/gnome? I have to change my network settings a lot based on where Im working and network manager isnt working. it says it has profiles but I cant seem to save a "Work" or "home" profile. thanks.
[17:00] <wols> wolfric: I asked where grub is installed
[17:01] <maybeway36> so 1. make space, 2. install windows, 3. reinstall grub
[17:01] <maybeway36> 1 and 3 are the only semi-hard parts
[17:01] <razer> wols , should i formate my linux and reinstall it ?
[17:01] <wolfric> i have no idea
[17:01] <iNeo> Resofje: why the ctcp?
[17:01] <wolfric> im just new to linux
[17:01] <Ragewarp> i just bought a new samsun 216BW monitor and ubnutu isnt pickiing it up when i have it hokked through DVI. any ideas on why that would be
[17:01] <wols> maek: you can edit /etc/network/interfaces
[17:01] <Vajayjay> there's no partition editor on my system :x
[17:01] <maybeway36> Vajayjay: boot from a live CD
[17:01] <maybeway36> like Ubuntu live CD, Knoppix, etc.
[17:01] <wols> razer: and what is that suppsoed to fix? ubuntu is a real OS and not windows
[17:01] <Vajayjay> alright
[17:01] <Vajayjay> thanks
[17:01] <wols> Vajayjay: then install one?
[17:02] <razer> wols , i know . i read but nothings help me
[17:02] <WGGMk> wols: still same problem
[17:02] <razer> wols ,can u please be with me for a little ?
[17:02] <Condoulo> ok, I really really really need help with GRUB
[17:02] <wolfric> lol
[17:02] <maybeway36> Conduolo: what is it?
[17:02] <GHOST> ;p
[17:03] <wolfric> looks like wols is being sucked dry with requests for help :P
[17:03] <GHOST> lo
[17:03] <razer> wolfric , yeah and i get sucked from ubuntu
[17:03] <Condoulo> maybeway36- Well it started when I disabled my Ubuntu drive to install XP on the second drive, re-enabled the Ubuntu drive, and then edited GRUB. Worked fine the first boot into XP, then after re-booting out of XP, I got Error 17.
[17:04] <wolfric> you know i know everyone is supposed to be pro ubuntu or pro linux but ubutu is the worst thing i could have ever come accross... its caused way more trouble then its worth especially with boot issues
[17:04] <acidicchip> Newbie
[17:04] <acidicchip> j/k
[17:04] <acidicchip> :)
[17:04] <supernerd> ubuntu is not that bad
[17:04] <bazhang> razer: you need to read the links and do some other reading as well--this is not a super quick fix, and asking repeatedly will not speed up the process
[17:04] <wols> wolfric: no one is forcing you to use or buy it. unlike windows
[17:05] <supernerd> ne way
[17:05] <wolfric> well yeah but the problem is i cant get it off...
[17:05] <acidicchip> ubuntu is actually the only linux OS I've been able to use without getting completely lost.
[17:05] <wols> bazhang: but it will annoy people. he's good at it
[17:05] <maybeway36> Consuolo: you could try reinstalling grub from the live CD
[17:05] <Condoulo> wolfric- Ubuntu is not that bad. there are just issues that need to be worked out.
[17:05] <bazhang> wols: too true
[17:05] <supernerd>  what is  kasablanca
[17:05] <wols> wolfric: windows recovery console. fixmbr. and it's gone
[17:05] <Condoulo> maybeway36- I tried doing that. no luck.
[17:05] <Pici> !info kasablanca | supernerd
[17:05] <ubotu> supernerd: kasablanca: fast and free ftp client for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0.2-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 165 kB, installed size 628 kB
[17:05] <wolfric> yeah i know it seems pretty true but the problem is that once its on your computer and theres something wrong with it... it just takes so much time getting it off..
[17:05] <wols> WGGMk: can you create files as root?
[17:05] <maybeway36> Consuolo: hm... looking uip error 17
[17:05] <wolfric> especially when its gone grub goes mental
[17:06] <supernerd> o ok thanks
[17:06] <wols> wolfric: about 5 minutes. less if your CD drive is fast (or windows boots faster)
[17:06] <WGGMk> wols: yes
[17:06] <Condoulo> maybeway36- I am thinking if trying Super Grub Disk and fix it that way.
[17:06] <wolfric> wols i cant even get ANYTHING to boot
[17:06] <maybeway36> Conduolo: 17 means it can't mount the partition
[17:06] <maybeway36> I've used GRUB4DOS on a floppy before to boot linux
[17:06] <wolfric> since i tried to use i cant even boot into anything not a live cd the hard drive or a usb drive to try solve the issue
[17:06] <wols> so it looks like a local permission issue. what is the current perms of the mountpoint ls -al /media/VM |grep .
[17:06] <bazhang> wolfric: with a live cd?
[17:07] <wols> wolfric: if you can't use a livecd then your computer is broken, not ubuntu
[17:07] <wolfric> yes i tried a live ubuntu cd i cant boot up into anything
[17:07] <bazhang> wolfric: sounds like hardware indeed
[17:07] <wols> wolfric: boot a windows CD
[17:07] <mneptok> wolfric: use a Windows CD to get to a recovery console or your Windows installation and restore the Windows MBR. Windows can then delete any Linux partitions. try ##windows for help in booting from Windows install media.
[17:08] <bazhang> either that or the cd is damaged or the cd drive is acting up--wolfric
[17:08] <wols> WGGMk: so it looks like a local permission issue. what is the current perms of the mountpoint ls -al /media/VM |grep .
[17:08] <wolfric> thanks...and from what im saying im not trying to bash ubuntu im just really disapointed in it..sorry if i come accross that way..
[17:09] <WGGMk> wols: http://pastebin.org/12924
[17:09] <mneptok> wolfric: well, you bashed Ubuntu anyway :)
[17:09] <wolfric> is there anyway of removing grub with a ubuntu cd if you could get it to work?
[17:09] <wols> WGGMk: you still haven't changed permissions on the mountpoint!
[17:10] <iNeo> wolfric: boot disk and run fdisk /mbr
[17:10] <WGGMk> wols: the share point is owned by my samba user (same username locally on the server) using my samba password (same psswd as local) the mount point is chmod 777
[17:10] <wols> WGGMk: you are lying: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  4096 2007-12-26 12:08 .
[17:10] <wols> it is owned by root and has perms 755 -> not user writable
[17:10] <mneptok> wolfric: boot to a live session or an installation and run "sudo grub-install" with the proper parameters
[17:10] <SpazmaN> im having a nightmare getting ubuntu to install to my raid 0
[17:11] <SpazmaN> i nee dhelp :(
[17:11] <wols> SpazmaN: you need to learn how to ask on irc too
[17:11] <razer> can any one plz help
[17:11] <razer> ?
[17:11] <maybeway36> raid 0 caused problems for me :P
[17:11] <SpazmaN> sorry :(

[17:11] <WGGMk> wols: http://pastebin.org/12926
[17:11] <rbd> hi, do any of you guys find it useful to both install sysstat (sar) and snmpd, and monitor with both? e.g. is there some advantage to doing that...like using snmpd and mrtg for aggregate graphing, but sar for more in-depth analysis in certain situations?
[17:11] <SpazmaN> :'(
[17:11] <razer> my wireless is not working i dont know if the driver is removed or what happen to this
[17:12] <thor> wols are you going to spend the day insulting the visitors?
[17:12] <white_eagle> ...
[17:12] <SpazmaN> would somebody be so kind as to help me with an issue i'm having with ubuntu?
[17:12] <identityx> I tried to install java6.0-doc in Synaptic. Now, this required me to be in root during installation. Changed my mind, don't want to install it anymore etc. so I choose abort in the option it gives me. However, whenever I install something in Synaptic now, it brings up the Sun Java install as well. How do I stop Synaptic from doing this each time? It is a great annoyance.
[17:12] <iNeo> rbd: use sysstat thats a good choice
[17:12] <mneptok> SpazmaN: if your RAID chipset is not supported in the Linux kernel or a module, you won't be able to use it.
[17:13] <wols> WGGMk: that password is useless. especially when you put it in a pastebin
[17:13] <brobostigon> spazman: what the problem??
[17:13] <razer> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[17:13] <wols> chown the mountpoint to your user
[17:13] <razer> yeaaaahhhhhhh thnx for help all
[17:13] <razer> no one help Oh yeah Good
[17:13] <razer> bye
[17:13] <SpazmaN> well, ive installed dmraid, its set my raid as /dev/mapper/jmicron_GRAID, ive created partitions no problem
[17:13] <Pici> identityx: Just select the package for removal then.
[17:13] <SpazmaN> however
[17:13] <SpazmaN> i cant format them
[17:13] <wols> WGGMk: also, is samba listening on a public interface btw?
[17:13] <Pici> !enter
[17:13] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:13] <WGGMk> wols: not too worried about the password lol.. ill try chown
[17:13] <SpazmaN> mkfs just says it cant fid it :(
[17:13] <razer> assholes
[17:13] <isabela> hi
[17:13] <WGGMk> wols: no, only VPN and local
[17:14] <wols> WGGMk: just checking. the password is still bad :P
[17:14] <WGGMk> wols: =)
[17:14] <identityx> Pici: uh, I'm so stupid. Thanks
[17:14] <wers> whenever I adjust the volume, something pops out of my screen to indicate the volume level. how do I remove that? It seems to be a resource hog. hehe
[17:14] <wols> Pici: let ompaul do it. he needs to have his little moments of joy :)
[17:14] <Pici> wols: he quit
[17:14] <wols> damn deserters
[17:15] <WGGMk> wols: chowned.. still cant. still shows only root owning it as well
[17:15] <identityx> Also, I need to change the owner for an NTFS formatted ext. HDD. I know how to go into root, but how and where do I change the owner
[17:15] <SpazmaN> if i fdisk -l it dosnt see the raid array it just sees the two disks,
[17:16] <SpazmaN> i feel like im banging my head off a wall trying to get ubuntu to see my raid
[17:16] <wols> I don't see why it would change owners
[17:17] <wols> WGGMk: have you checked BEFORE mounting that it has the right owner?

[17:22] <SpazmaN> bazhang, ive followed that, it isnt very clear on exact formatting instructions, ive done mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/jmicron_GRAID and mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/jmicron_GRAID with no success just tells me it dosnt exist
[17:22] <mitchp> identityx: you have to mount it with the permissions you want, the whole drive will have the same permissions.  do you mount it using fstab or manually?
[17:22] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187874 egc there is a thread here

[17:23] <albator> Hello, could anyone tell me how i can make apt just.. 'forget' about a broken package? I tried installing hplib ages ago, apt cant remove it beacuse some files are missing, I just need to remove it completely from the dselect list...

[17:23] <identityx> mitchp: It mounted on connect. I can unmount/mount in Nautilus but I'm not familiar with using "mount" or any other command

[17:23] <bazhang> dual boot SpazmaN?
[17:23] <SpazmaN> no
[17:24] <hdevalence> Pici: would it be better to install a hardy .deb or build from source
[17:24] <Pici> hdevalence: I'd just build from source.
[17:24] <SpazmaN> ive got xubuntu and ubuntu runing on other machines fine, it seems making raid work is one of the few things windows does FAR better than any linux ive found
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> hdevalence: from sourec... Hi Pici
[17:24] <shure> test
[17:25] <iNeo> SpazmaN: then keep using Windows
[17:25] <SpazmaN> ive been at this for hours total nightmare
[17:25] <SpazmaN> 1neo id rather not :P
[17:25] <mitchp> identityx: you'll have to change the options in fstab. (it's a file somewhere in the /etc directory, I don't remember specifics, I'm not on my linux box)  I'm sure there's an fstab how-to somewhere if you look hard enough
[17:25] <SpazmaN> hence my trying to get any sort of help
[17:25] <EtteSB> anyone able to tell me how to mount a NTFS drive? its a removable so its going to be on a USB connection
[17:25] <iNeo> SpazmaN: look for a real hardware raid controller like 3ware
[17:26] <SpazmaN> 1neo, i'm poor id rather just get this working
[17:26] <albator> ettesb just use -t ntfs
[17:26] <iNeo> SpazmaN: all those software raid controllers suck
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> SpazmaN: True hardware raid is not a problem..  trying to get a windows based soft raid system to work with linux.. when no driver support is available.. much harder..  NOt worth it in my opinion
[17:26] <wers> what is gnome-at-visual -s?
[17:26] <Andeh> How do i get Ubuntu to use my monitor at the full resolution, 1680x1050 instead of 1400x1050, which looks crap?
[17:26] <brobostigon> i have a problem, i connected my ext hdd, no problem, no errors, i try to open it with nautilus, and get the floowing error ( nautilus cannot display /media/disk plaease select another viewer) whats this error, i have never seen it before, and what does it mean??
[17:26] <wols> !fixres | Andeh

[17:26] <iNeo> SpazmaN: then use the buildin software raid from Linux

[17:27] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593109 SpazmaN may be a swap issue
[17:27] <GStory> Quick question, I hope.  What advantage is there to installing amavisd when ClamAV Spamassassin can work with Postfix directly?  It seems like a middle man to me.
[17:27] <visik7> anyone know how to got google live search inside deskbar applet ?
[17:27] <sung_> 02
[17:27] <brobostigon> wols, i can eccesss it via terminal(mc) fine.
[17:27] <iNeo> GStory: amavis can check extra mail messages
[17:27] <wols> !blame nautilus
[17:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blame nautilus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:27] <albator> is there a command to make apt forget about removeing a package? I have a broken package that wont remove, its nothing important so i just need to make apt stop trying to process it
[17:28] <hdevalence> ./configure gives me "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[17:28] <GStory> iNeo: what do you mean my extra mail messages?
[17:28] <wols> albator: while there are ways it'S the wrong way to do it
[17:28] <EtteSB> albator: meh, it picked it up its self :3 <3 ubuntu
[17:28] <Pici> hdevalence: install build-essential
[17:28] <wols> hdevalence: you get the source package from hardy and build a .deb  package from it
[17:28] <wols> you don't use configure;make
[17:28] <Pici> wols: I dont think thats a good idea.
[17:28] <SpazmaN> dmraid is seeing and apparently setting up my raid fine, ive managed to partition it using gparted (fdisk dosnt want to know) however i cant format it just tells me it dosnt exsist
[17:29] <albator> cool, just rtfm apt then? :)
[17:29] <iNeo> GStory: sorry typo, amavis checks extra information when a message is send or recieved
[17:29] <wols> Pici: why not?
[17:29] <quaal> why does my mdadm raid partition keep disappearing
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> hdevalence: What are you trying to build/install?
[17:29] <Pici> wols: Specific package dependencies might mess things up, like asking for packages that arent in gutsy yet.
[17:29] <SpazmaN> took 5 minutes to get to that stage spent 3 hours stuck with absolutely no luck
[17:29] <wols> Pici: installing stuff with disregard to the package system is worse. then you need equivs and such
[17:29] <GStory> iNeo: ok. Are you talking about header and body checks beyond what MailScanner does?
[17:29] <wols> Pici: ever done a backport?
[17:29] <Andeh> wols: Reconfiguring XORG entirely seems rather inneficient since I have everything running perfectly except for the screen res...
[17:30] <iNeo> GStory: Amavis is simmaler to MailScanner
[17:30] <iNeo> GStory: both are frameworks
[17:30] <hdevalence> Jack_Sparrow: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfu-programmer/ , as a dependency for this http://www.tuxisalive.com/documentation/how-to/daemon-and-api-setup
[17:30] <wols> Pici: if you want to backport things like X or gnome, then it's hairy but for most stuff it's fine and clean
[17:30] <GStory> iNeo: ok, the reason I ask is the how to from Ubuntu shows both in an install.
[17:30] <brobostigon> wols: what doeos that error mean, i have never seen that error in nautilus before, if you can give me an idea what the error means i can problem solve, ( nautilus cannot display /media/disk plaease select another viewer)
[17:31] <wols> brobostigon: since I don't use nautilus: no clue
[17:31] <iNeo> GStory: a bit strange, use MailScanner or amavis
[17:31] <wols> brobostigon: I think nautilus tries to uase a special viewer like for pictures, chokes on the data and spits out an error
[17:32] <brobostigon> anyone alse, and ideas,(nautilus cannot display /media/disk plaease select another viewer)??
[17:32] <brobostigon> thanks wols
[17:32] <Andeh> wols: I reconfigured XORG, I told it to use the monitor's full res, and it still doesnt show up in the options.
[17:32] <GStory> iNeo: I prefer MailScanner since I am familiar with it.  I screwed up last week and had Feisty in my sources list on a Dapper system.  When I pgrade Postfix, MailScanner decided to stop looking at the hold que.
[17:32] <wols> Andeh: pastbein your xorg.log
[17:32]  * iNeo gets a cup of coffee
[17:33] <iNeo> GStory: a good choice
[17:33] <Intelli> I need help. When creating the partitions in cfdisk, does the swap space need to be flagged as bootable? Also, the Linux partition itself should be the primary partition, correct?

[17:33] <frojnd> I have a little problem with recognizing the dvd
[17:33] <GStory> iNeo: Besides, I can take the existing MainScanner.conf file from the goofed VM and put it on the new one.  :)
[17:33] <Andeh> wols: xorg.log is in /etc/X11 right?
[17:33] <wols> frojnd: recover means what?

[17:41] <ullis> But I'll figure it out I guess. Thanks.
[17:41] <wols> nvidia cards can do 1650x1050 easily
[17:41] <kevinth> and I even see it is enabled in PHP info
[17:41] <kevinth> but
[17:41] <steadfast> can i reconstruct my partition table if its been corrupted?
[17:42] <Andeh> wols: Ah. So um, what is there to do?
[17:42] <kevinth> it is not working from htaccess file
[17:42] <Sludge321> you also need to specify AllowOverride all in the site config file
[17:42] <frojnd> anyone know any recovery tool for recovering DVDs on linux platforms ?
[17:42] <ullis> nalioth, Doh. Now I see that a tracker I'm using has banned transmission
[17:42] <kevinth> sludge321: where do I write "AllowOveride" rule?
[17:43] <kevinth> in the htaccess file?
[17:43] <Sludge321> It will be in the site config file
[17:43] <chazco> Hi... i'm having problems with differences between OpenOffice, Textmaker and MS Word... the pagenation, and even individual line spacing seems to vary wildly, even though they're all using the same settings. I have the MS fonts installed... any ideas? Its important since I need to work on uni stuff :)
[17:43] <Sludge321> when you did "a2ensite mysite"
[17:43] <XNor> I installed compiz and emerald, is there a separate package for the themes?
[17:43] <XNor> Looking for a thin titlebar one because my display is 800x480
[17:43] <albator> wols: the remove script was trying to stop a service that wasnt there, I just changed it to restart one that was =s
[17:44] <albator> gone now =)
[17:44] <steadfast> is there anyway using an ubuntu live cd i can reconstruct my hdd partition table if its been corrupted or otherwise?
[17:44] <Sludge321> that "mysite" file would have been the site config file
[17:44] <SpazmaN> well thanks a bunch for all the awesome help i'll be off then :P

[17:45] <chrismon> What's the rate at which Ubuntu generall incorporates update Linux software (like glibc, gtk, etc).  How long is the way from Linux release to Ubuntu updates?
[17:45] <sdornan> It usually doesn't take long with the really popular programs
[17:45] <Sludge321> If URL rewrite (.htaccess) is required then change "AllowOveride None" to "AllowOveride All" in the <Directory /var/www/mysite.com.au/html> section.
[17:45] <chrismon> sdornan, what about kernel updates?
[17:45] <sdornan> But the not-so-widely-used programs take forever
[17:45] <Andeh> wols: Uh, so I am stuck with a blurry, deformed display?
[17:46] <chrismon> sdornan, its more libraries and kernel modules taht I am concernedwith
[17:46] <sdornan> ah
[17:46] <quaal> why does my soundcard change from hw:1,0 to hw:0,0 to hw:1,0 to hw:0,0 repeat every time computer gets restarted
[17:46] <Sludge321> in /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite
[17:46] <bazhang> got to rest a bit..back later
[17:46] <zeroflag> chrismon: between 5 months to 5 years. e.g. mono is half a year old and only scheduled for update in hardy (about 4 more months to wait)...
[17:47] <sdornan> well, the current linux header kernel version is 2.6.23.12 and ubuntu 7.10 uses 2.6.22.14
[17:47] <ron_asheton> hi... I installed ubuntu on my pen drive but my computer offers no usb storage device boot. what should I do?
[17:47] <chrismon> zeroflag, heh that narrows it down :)
[17:47] <zeroflag> the kernel also has a few issues but everyone is to scared to update...
[17:48] <sdornan> what's wrong with the current kernel?
[17:48] <choongii> is there a way to prepend text to a file? like echo bla >> blargh, cept prepend it instead of appending it
[17:48] <Sludge321> kevinth: that sorted it?
[17:48] <zeroflag> a few incompatibilities with certain (closed source) software
[17:48] <XNor> ron_asheton: boot cd, floppy, etc
[17:48] <Parsi> is there a method to auto re-connect after disconnecting a dsl connection?
[17:48] <zeroflag> e.g. creative x-fi drivers, epsxe, certain 32bit (packed) binaries, etc.
[17:49] <sdornan> ah, current ubuntu kernel is from nov 21, so it's not that far behind
[17:49] <ullis> How can I see what version of a software package I will get downloading with apt-get? I want to dl transmission, but don't know what version I'll get.
[17:49] <ron_asheton> XNor, how do I burn a cd with lilo?
[17:49] <sdornan> it'll download whichever one is in the repository
[17:49] <ullis> sdornan, And which one is that? Can I see that somehow?
[17:49] <zeroflag> sdornan: it's only the update for 2.6.22, not the new 2.6.23...
[17:49] <XNor> ron_asheton: isolinux or something, so probably best to install ubuntu on the cd
[17:50] <sdornan> ullis, look it up in synaptic
[17:50] <steadfast> can i reconstruct my partition table if its been corrupted using the live cd?
[17:50] <simion314_> hi, i changed my internet provider and now i get in xchat  the error: Couldn't look up your hostname. . It connects after 5-10 minutes. Why this happened?
[17:50] <XNor> ron_asheton: well, not sure if that would even work
[17:50] <ullis> sdornan, OK. I'll try that, thanks.
[17:50] <fabio> any one can explain me how to install kiba-dock????

[17:52] <fabio> yes
[17:53] <sdornan> so it finished with no errors?
[17:53] <pradeepvglughyd> how to  install ubuntu on AMD 690G based mobo, it gets stuck while starting X, has anyone tried other distros!!!!i feel ignored
[17:53] <fabio> sdornan; No package 'dbus-glib-1' found
[17:53] <fabio> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[17:53] <fabio> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[17:53] <fabio> Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUS_CFLAGS
[17:53] <fabio> and DBUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
[17:53] <fabio> See the pkg-config man page for more details.

[17:54] <billy> i ran the command dmesg and wanted to just see what it did, and i found [   23.748000] ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (0.9.3.3) which relates to my wireless, and was wondering what does the part in brackets mean? as i have just installed madwifi 0.9.3.3, id like to know why its in brackets, thanks
[17:54] <sdornan> fabio, well, you need to install the dbus-glib package and then run ./configure again
[17:54] <fabio> sdornan where i get?
[17:54] <sdornan> billy, i think that's the frequency it's operating on? maybe?
[17:55] <sdornan> fabio, search "dbus" in synaptic
[17:55] <billy> 0.9.3.3 a frequency? i doubt it :p, its the version of madwifi i just tried to install (im a linux noob) and was wonderin why its in brackets? is it meaning its not in use?
[17:55] <sdornan> billy, oh i thought you meant 23.748
[17:55] <xtknight> 0.9.3.3 AM?  i listen to that all the time ;)
[17:55] <billy> oh, no :p
[17:55] <billy> any ideas guys?
[17:55] <xtknight> billy, the brackets contain a timestamp
[17:55] <gary4gar> please suggest any pdf editor ?
[17:56] <xtknight>  billy, seconds since your kernel started, or sometihng like that
[17:56] <Whitor> Hi... How can I see a list of connected hard drives? I'd like to see if a USB drive is being recognized... just not mounted.... any help ?
[17:56] <quaal> why does my soundcard change from hw:1,0 to hw:0,0 to hw:1,0 to hw:0,0 repeat every time computer gets restarted
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> gary4gar: kpdf
[17:56] <XNor> gary4gar: edit existing or printing to pdf?
[17:56] <XNor> kpdf is an editor?
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> gary4gar: editor.. not just reader... ugh sorry
[17:56] <billy> xtknight, sorry, i meant the 2nd set of rounded brackets
[17:56] <billy> ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (0.9.3.3)
[17:56] <xtknight> billy, oh.  i think 0.9.3.3 is the version of the driver and 0.9.4.5 is the version of the package, or something like this
[17:57] <gary4gar> i have a PDF, which i want to edit, which package do  i use?
[17:57] <xtknight> athpci contains several libs.  0.9.3.3 is probably the version of the core lib
[17:57] <xtknight> whereas whole ath_pci package has some other newer libs so they call it 0.9.4.5
[17:57] <XNor> gary4gar: can try pdfedit
[17:57] <Sharpie> how do i rename all the files in a dir? (like, rename all .doc to .docx, just a random example)
[17:57] <billy> ahh right, okay, thats fine then, cheers :) i just thought for some reason i had a version 0.9.4.5 running and i wanted 0.9.3.3 that was sittin in the background
[17:57] <xtknight> billy, used ath_pci before, i dont think anything's wrong
[17:58] <Whitor> Sharpie: mv *.doc *.docx
[17:58] <Sharpie> Whitor: tried it, didn't work
[17:58] <Whitor> let me...
[17:59] <dm> Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea?
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !pdfedit
[17:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pdfedit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !find pdfedit
[17:59] <ubotu> Found: pdfedit

[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry for the spam people...
[18:00] <sdornan> simion314, linuxdcpp
[18:00] <infinitycircuit> Shadowpillar, you need to use cut/sed in a for loop
[18:00] <infinitycircuit> i mean Sharpie
[18:00] <simion314_> what alternative are for dc++?
[18:01] <rsk> simion314_: bittorrent
[18:01] <rsk> :F
[18:01] <almancora> On my extrenal hd are folders I cannot delete because of permission, how do I change the permission to me or root?
[18:01] <sdornan> simion314, usenet
[18:01] <MenZa> dm: I'm unable to help you, but I'll have to applaud the phrasing of your question.
[18:01] <XNor> someone said bittorrent wasn't "peer to peer"
[18:01] <sdornan> XNor, it is
[18:01] <gary4gar> XNor, its takes text as images :X
[18:01] <XNor> gary4gar: huh?
[18:02] <simion314_> rsk: i mean other p2p software, dc++ is not working for me, maybe is something else maybe better?
[18:02] <gary4gar> XNor, yeah....i have simple text doc in PDF,, which i want to edit
[18:02]  * dm can't tell if there's any ironic touch in MenZa's answer ...
[18:02] <AlesYoper> Hi all! (again) Anyone knows why my laptop battery life comes to be 30% shorter in Gutsy?
[18:02] <XNor> gary4gar: that you might need something called OCR
[18:02] <MenZa> dm: there wasn't. We don't get that well-phrased questions a lot.
[18:02] <MenZa> dm: but alas, this is offtopic---carry on, and good luck.
[18:02] <XNor> gary4gar: I don't know any good linux packages for it off the top of my head
[18:02] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, shorter than what?
[18:02] <almancora> On my extrenal hd are folders I cannot delete because of permission, how do I change the permission to me or root?
[18:03] <Sharpie> how do i rename all files in a directory from .htm to .html (random example)?
[18:03] <gary4gar> XNor, okay :(
[18:03] <almancora> On my extrenal hd are folders I cannot delete because of permission, how do I change the permission to me or root? I tried with preferences but it didn't work
[18:03] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: 5 hrs in XP and 3,5 hrs in Gutsy. It is said that Feisty was comparable to XP, but haven't tried it
[18:03] <infinitycircuit> Sharpie, the basic syntax is: for i in *.htm; do mv $i [cut/sed command]; done
[18:03] <jamiejackson> is there a player that runs on old (minimal) hardware that also syncs to ipods, or should i just use gtkpod?
[18:03] <sandr-> almancora, try sudo chown <username> <directory>
[18:03] <XNor> gary4gar: some PDFs I think can contain actual text, but most converters just put it in an image and pack as pdf
[18:03] <infinitycircuit> Sharpie, you will have to google the syntax of the cut command since i can't remember it off the top of my head
[18:04] <Greevous> What's an efficient filesystem for a USB flash drive?
[18:04] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, compiz fusion will be dragging you down a bit
[18:04] <sdornan> almancora, just delete the folders in a terminal with sudo
[18:04] <Andeh> wols: Are you still here?
[18:04] <zeroflag> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> almancora: Are you running gutsy?  have you enabled ntfs write if they are ntfs.. have you tried gksudo nautilus?
[18:04] <MenZa> Greevous: fat32, if you wish to use it on Linux and Windows boxen
[18:04] <gary4gar> XNor, hmmm
[18:04] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, install powertop from the repositories and follow its suggestions it should get you back an hour
[18:04] <MenZa> !flash | zeroflag
[18:04] <ubotu> zeroflag: 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
[18:04] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:04] <sandr-> Greevous, many people use fat
[18:04] <infinitycircuit> !Gnash
[18:04] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[18:04] <MenZa> Greevous: if you only plan to run it on *nix, I suggest ext3.
[18:05] <Greevous> MenZa: are there any opportunities for security with fat?
[18:05] <RoshanK> greevous, if you use fat, you can't have files larger than 4gb on it
[18:05] <Greevous> RoshanK:
[18:05] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: i have disabled compiz and all effects + suggestions from powertop? Got only up to 4 hrs. Is there anything else to do?
[18:05] <Greevous> it's a 2GB anyway
[18:05] <sdornan> Greevous, what security problems are you worried about with a flash drive?
[18:05] <RoshanK> greevous: unless you have files that large i don't think it would matter
[18:05] <MenZa> Greevous: not to my knowledge
[18:05] <Greevous> no worries, just curious
[18:05] <infinitycircuit> Greevous, actually you probably want ext2 for linux because using a journaling filesystem might needlessly reduce the life of the flash
[18:05] <MenZa> Greevous: I'm not sure if you can truecrypt that.
[18:05] <wathek> arrrrg it makes me mad my Ubuntu freezes a lot I can't even access to the other smb shares of the other pc in my network :(
[18:05] <almancora> Jack_Sparrow, my external hd is formatted fat32, Nautulius???
[18:05] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, there is always more to do :)
[18:06] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, use sysv-rc-conf to disable non-essential services
[18:06] <tomtt> how do i disable a single user's password?
[18:06] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, make sure that hdparm is turning on apm power saving
[18:06] <sdornan> i would format an external hard drive with ext3
[18:06] <RoshanK> does anyone know how to restart emerald, or possibly x?
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> almancora: from terminal type gksudo nautilus
[18:06] <XNor> oh, I have a 4gb flash disk
[18:06] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, you can also get a newer kernel with hpet support which will lead to big improvements
[18:06] <Greevous> infinitycircuit: would a journaling fs reduce the life if it were only half of the drive (as in one of two partitions)?
[18:06] <infinitycircuit> Greevous, i don't know
[18:07] <XNor> I set noatime and all, FAT is used on jumpdrives all the time without that much of a problem (and the journal is in the same place)
[18:07] <niux_lab> i need help with USB in VirtualBox
[18:07] <Whitor> Sharpie: chcase -x 's/doc/docx/' '*.doc'
[18:07] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: how can I do the thing with hparm? Where can I get this new kernel with HPET!? Please tell me :D
[18:07] <MenZa> niux_lab: #vbox is probably a better bet
[18:07] <almancora> ) Jack_Sparrow, done whats next?
[18:07] <MenZa> also, niux_lab, feel free to join us in #ubuntu-dk
[18:07] <ageorge> I'm not able to get sound in ubuntu, sound works fine when I ran it from a live cd, but after installing, it no longer works.  What should I do?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> almancora: see if you can do what you wanted to do..
[18:07] <niux_lab> MenZa, yeah:) thanks
[18:07] <niux_lab> MenZa, on this network?
[18:07] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, the easy way to manage hdparm is to use laptop mode tools which i believe is already on gutsy
[18:08] <MenZa> niux_lab: indeed. :)
[18:08] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, gksu gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
[18:08] <RoshanK> ageorge you possibly need the driver for the sound card but i'm not sure
[18:08] <Whitor> Sharpie: not intuitive ....
[18:08] <almancora> Jack_Sparrow, can't delete folder
[18:08] <niux_lab> MenZa, will do:)
[18:08] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, it is well commented, just turn on all the power save options
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> almancora: then it isnt a permission problem
[18:08] <sdornan> ageorge, download newest alsa drivers, configure and install them
[18:08] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: thanks! what about that kernel you were talking about?
[18:09] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, also compiz fusion isn't actually the power drain...it's dri support in the graphics drivers
[18:09] <Yancho> how can i remove gnome so i can install xfce instead of it please?
[18:09] <Sharpie> Whitor: um, did you say anything before "not intuitive"? i'm using irssi and i can't scroll up :/
[18:09] <MenZa> Sharpie: PgUp
[18:09] <Whitor> Sharpie: yeah
[18:09] <ageorge> sdornan, I've already tried installing alsa drivers
[18:09] <lonejack> hi, what is the best sw to convert, manage, burn from CD to mp3? Thank you
[18:09] <Whitor> Sharpie: chcase -x 's/doc/docx/' '*.doc'
[18:09] <iNeo> Pir8:
[18:09] <MenZa> Sharpie: and PgDn will scroll for you
[18:09] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow how would i restart emerald or possibly x?
[18:09] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, if you add Option   "NoDRI" to the Devices section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf that will save battery life
[18:09] <MenZa> lonejack: from CD to mp3? Soundjuicer.
[18:09] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: i have disabled DRI according to intel www.lesswats.org suggestions already
[18:09] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, oh ok
[18:09] <MenZa> RoshanK: emerald --replace in a terminal
[18:09] <Sharpie> MenZa: no it won't
[18:09] <MenZa> RoshanK: restart X with Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[18:09] <Pir8> iNeo,  ?
[18:10] <ageorge> When I changed the sound prefernaces to CA106 and pressed the test button, I was able to audio, but nothing in any other programs.
[18:10] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, the easy way to get a 2.6.24 kernel with hpet is to use the zen kernel from the ubuntu forums
[18:10] <MenZa> Sharpie: It's supposed to.
[18:10] <lonejack> MenZa: thank you I'll check it..
[18:10] <Sonic1> oi, what do I need to install to get amarok to play mp3s?
[18:10] <iNeo> Pir8: yep
[18:10] <Sharpie> Whitor: chcase doesn't exist
[18:10] <tomtt> Would the best way to disable a user's password be to replace his password entry in /etc/shadow with !    ?

[18:10] <RoshanK> MenZa the thing is that i can't see the upper toolbar with the minimize buttons etc and i just need to get it back possibly without restarting ubuntu completely
[18:10] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: will it work by just installing it with synaptic?
[18:10] <andruk> wine-doors is not downloading visual C++ runtime libraries 6... whats up with that?
[18:10] <MenZa> RoshanK: try killall -9 emerald && emerald --replace
[18:10] <Pir8> iNeo, you typed something for me?
[18:10] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, it isn't in the repositories i believe
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: hold alt , click and drag the window
[18:11] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: oh sorry. i just have to check it in the ubuntuforums?
[18:11] <iNeo> Pir8: I think a typo, sorry
[18:11] <pradeepvglughyd> how to  install ubuntu on AMD 690G based mobo, it gets stuck while starting X, has anyone tried other distros!!!!i feel ignored
[18:11] <infinitycircuit> AlesYoper, it's in the section on tutorials and tips if i remember correctly
[18:11] <Pir8> iNeo, No worries  :)
[18:11] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow i don't know what the alt click and drag would do apart from move it on workspaces
[18:12] <RoshanK> MenZa thank you 'emerald --replace
[18:12] <MenZa> RoshanK: no problem
[18:12] <RoshanK> ' worked
[18:12] <AlesYoper> infinitycircuit: hope it is not too hard to install it :D thanks - you help is very much appreciated!

I know gid=1000 or gid=lucian works because i can m
[18:14] <sdornan> fabio, what's it say when you ./configure?
[18:14] <RoshanK> so i closed the terminal after i entered 'emerald --replace' and when i closed terminal i think emerald crashed again b/c all those titlebars dissappeared again
[18:14] <dahitokiri> does the 7.10 kernel come with tuxonice?
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> fabio: You have been asked repeatedly NOT to paste into the channel...  USE THE PASTEBIN
[18:15] <fabio> sdornan the error with dbus
[18:15] <infinitycircuit> dahitokiri, i don't believe so
[18:15] <hdevalence> I'm having a weird problem. BASH is telling me no such file or directory but ls says otherwise
[18:15] <iDope> My install of Gutsy freezes from time to time
[18:15] <fabio> Jack_Sarrow its only 3 lines
[18:15] <tevfik> hey
[18:15] <Pir8> iDope,  I ran into that problem a few times as well.
[18:15] <iDope> didn't happen in 7.04
[18:15] <tevfik> how can i choose primary sound card ?
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> fabio: three lines plus your comment. you do it repeatedly... Do not continue
[18:16] <Sharpie> Whitor: or not: Unrecognized character \xE2 at (eval 1) line 1.
[18:16] <iDope> Pir8: found out what was causing it?
[18:16] <kayce> everyone thats in #winehq isent there or just not responding
[18:16] <infinitycircuit> hdevalence, what exactly is the error
[18:16] <fabio> sdornan but now says bash: ./configure: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente
[18:16] <fabio> not found
[18:17] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow or MenZa btw when i entered 'emerald --replace' the command dosent seem to finish b/c it said something wasnt suppoerted and would be ignored
[18:17] <tevfik> hey can anybody help me ?
[18:17] <tevfik> how can i choose primary sound card?
[18:17] <sdornan> fabio, that sounds like you're in the wrong directory
[18:17] <MenZa> RoshanK: probably means nothing
[18:17] <iDope> the only things which I can suspect really are a general instability issue or Compiz Fusion
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: HAve you changed any sources or installed things from non-official repos
[18:17] <iDope> I am about to recompile the kernel in hope of fixing it
[18:18] <Megaqwerty> tevfik: System>Preferences>Sound
[18:18] <RoshanK> MenZa but when i close terminal emerald crashes again or something as the titlebars dissappear again
[18:18] <kayce> i'm trying to install World of Warcraft on Linux Ubuntu 7.10 using wine, can anyone help me?    noone responded in #winehq
[18:18] <infinitycircuit> iDope, did you have a good burn?  that is the most common cause of random crashes alon with broken hardware
[18:18] <sdornan> kayce, usually you can just run the install program
[18:18] <tevfik> Megaqwerty: i choose in there. but nothing change..
[18:18] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow these are some themes i got off of gnome art i believe
[18:18] <MenZa> RoshanK: yeah; because it's running in the terminal
[18:19] <Megaqwerty> tevfik: that's the extent of my knowledge on that issue. Sorry
[18:19] <tevfik> Megaqwerty: it continue to play on my second sound card.
[18:19] <MenZa> RoshanK: try either running the command in ALT+F2, or do killall -9 emerald && emerald --replace&exit
[18:19] <kayce> well, the pc dvd doesnt have a reguler installer that i could find
[18:19] <tevfik> Megaqwerty: thank you
[18:19] <iDope> errm I probably did
[18:19] <sdornan> kayce, should be install.exe or something
[18:19] <tevfik> why nobody listen to me =o\
[18:19] <jebblue> kayce winehq.org should be the best wine resource
[18:19] <hdevalence> infinitycircuit: When I execute the program "tuxd" I get bash: /usr/local/bin/tuxd: No such file or directory. Then I do ls -l and find that
[18:19] <RoshanK> MenZa unfortunately it didn't work
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: that shouldnt be the issue....   hopefully you didnt run automatix or envy  either(both bad ideas)
[18:19] <MenZa> RoshanK: odd o_O
[18:19] <sdornan> kayce, installer.exe
[18:19] <kayce> ok, i'll look again
[18:20] <Megaqwerty> kayce: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/12/20/how-to-run-world-of-warcraft-wow-in-linux-using-wine/  Just skip the Envy Step. You should really use the restricted manager to install the proprietary video drivers
[18:20] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow i didn't im running gutsy
[18:20] <kayce> i looked everywhere on the cd and there is no installer.exe >.<
[18:20] <hdevalence> it's a symlink to /opt/tuxdroid/bin/tuxd
[18:20] <volkov_> Hello
[18:20] <hdevalence> Then I get bash: /opt/tuxdroid/bin/tuxd: No such file or directory when I try to launch that
[18:20] <RoshanK> so is there some way i could restart X i suppose without having to completely restart my system?
[18:20] <sdornan> kayce, there should be... i used to play it and installed it myself that way in wine
[18:20] <ng0n> quick queston: what is keyring manager ?
[18:21] <hdevalence> But ls says it IS there
[18:21] <kayce> hmm..

[18:21] <quaal> ng0n, a program to store your keys
[18:22] <volkov_> yes
[18:22] <n2diy> RoshanK: ctr+alt+backspace
[18:22] <kayce> only thing remotely close to that is Installer Launcher and its not an .exe
[18:22] <sdornan> kayce, so you're browsing the files on the disk itself?
[18:22] <Megaqwerty> kayce: did you see the tutorial? It goes step by step though the installation process
[18:22] <What_the_Deuce> synergy, mac OS/Ubuntu? anyone?
[18:23] <emad> hello everybody , i have a problem with system sound notifications .... any ideas ????
[18:23] <Megaqwerty> What_the_Deuce: what are you having problems with in synergy?
[18:23] <kayce> yes, i went to the tutorial, i have the game itself already installed, trying to install the expansion (Burning Crusade)
[18:23] <RoshanK> thank you to whomever it was that helped. restarting X through ctrl alt backspace solved the issue
[18:23] <Megaqwerty> kayce: sorry, I didn't understand
[18:24] <grumo> how would i go about  substituting a library (libgpod) from the repository by compiling it from a tar ball? What i did was to use check install but when i then try to remove the repository one, aptitudes want to remove all the dependencies
[18:24] <Whitor> hi... How do I change my desktop resolution in KDE ?
[18:24] <sdornan> kayce, right click on the installer launcher and run under wine
[18:24] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: Careful using that with programs still running...
[18:24] <kayce> tried that
[18:24] <What_the_Deuce> Trying to set up mac as server, ubuntu as client but failing. however ubuntu as server and mac as client works fine
[18:25] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow so i guess i would have to make sure i save changes huh. apart from that is there a shortcut to open something like taskmanager in ubuntu (like ctrl alt delete)
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> grumo: What are you trying to install. as it looks like you are heading into trouble
[18:26] <Megaqwerty> What_the_Deuce: I have no idea why it wouldn't work...I'd check the errors the client puts out on the command-line. Sorry I can't help any more, I have to leave. Good Luck!
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: MOre than just losing your changes you could cause other problems, some people here are fanatic about not using that command and just having people log out etc
[18:26] <DrFrankenstein> hi. I booted my Father's Toshiba Satellite laptop using the 7.10 live CD and the X server was set to an humongous DPI, making fonts about 100 pixels high, and rendering GNOME unusable
[18:26] <zeroflag> should I update to hardy? I REALLY need some of the updates and I can't wait for backport to get working...
[18:27] <emad> i have a problem with system sound notifications .... any ideas ????
[18:27] <emad> i have a problem with system sound notifications .... any ideas ????
[18:27] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to substitude the libgpod library provided by the repository by compiling my own
[18:27] <DrFrankenstein> is there a way to override this DPI problem?
[18:27] <infinitycircuit> zeroflag, if you need the updates then it's worth a try...just back up
[18:27] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow after i ran the command i realized i could've just logged out and did the same., but is there a shortcut to press to bring up a taskmanager like in windows?
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> zeroflag: make a backup of your current system or just add it as a second os on your existing system
[18:27] <DrFrankenstein> (booting using the livd CD)
[18:27] <DrFrankenstein> emad > does playing music work?
[18:28] <skeff> hi there! I want to replace the iwl4965 wireless card driver with an ndiswrapper one, how do I stop iwl4965 from loading at bootup?
[18:28] <emad> yes
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: You can read up on killing a process if that is what you mean
[18:28] <infinitycircuit> skeff, add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[18:28] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow:  i did that by using checkintall, when i then tried to remove the repository one aptitude wants to remove all the packages that depend on it
[18:28] <btheaven> i use realtek acl883 sound card, and alsa detect that soudn card well, but when i play the sound, repeat forever, and freezing..
[18:28] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow thank you
[18:28] <orkun> i reinstalled ubuntu to get finally rid of my parallel windows installation and now acpi seems to have problems. i cannot use standby(the easiest noticable i fear). instead the screen goes black and gets locked. when i unlock i can neither start programs(the desktop seems to work) nor can i reboot/shutdown. the only possible difference between those two installations could be ndiswrapper which is now the latest stable(fixing hard locks caused by
[18:28] <orkun>  bittorrent traffic). any clue?
[18:28] <LDS_Trooper> Greets. My daughter has been wanting an iPod and can now get one. However, I would like to know what mp3 players others are using with Ubuntu
[18:29] <theblue> Hi all.
[18:29] <butcherbird> LDS_Trooper: i use an ipod with ubuntu
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: I understand what you WANT to do, I just question your reasoning behind wanting to...
[18:29] <infinitycircuit> LDS_Trooper, i have two different sansa mp3 players that just function as usb storage devices and they work fine in ubuntu
[18:29] <skeff> infinitycircuit: ah ok , thanks :)
[18:29] <butcherbird> LDS_Trooper: 5.5 gen
[18:29] <RoshanK> creative zen vision m, but it dosent work immediately i had to use a program LDS_Trooper
[18:29] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow:  what i would like to do is simply swap the old with the one created by me
[18:29] <theblue> Is there a way to make 2 or 3 identical (save for MAC address) NICs act as 1 with a lot of bandwidth?
[18:29] <orkun> LDS_Trooper: don't get an iPod it is not good ;p]
[18:29] <DrFrankenstein> LDS_Trooper > I'm using a LifeDrive
[18:29] <DrFrankenstein> also iPods aren't awesome under Ubuntu
[18:29] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow in the case the system froze i was wondering what to do
[18:29] <LDS_Trooper> orkun, thanks but that's why I am asking
[18:29] <ng0n> orkun: kids want ipod.
[18:29] <DrFrankenstein> needs special software, etc.
[18:30] <emad> the problem is with calender and messenger notifications .... i dont know why!!!
[18:30] <orkun> yeah kids want ipod thats it ;p
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: My fear is that you will mess up the dependencies and the next update will crash or create other problems
[18:30] <DrFrankenstein> I think the player from Creative works well
[18:30] <butcherbird> LDS_Trooper: alot of people use ipods with ubuntu. it will work fine but... im not a big apple fan
[18:30] <infinitycircuit> RoshanK, if everything is frozen you can kill x with alt-sysrq-k
[18:30] <ng0n> give the kid what they want.
[18:30] <Fujoor> hey guys, ive tried to install ubuntu,but my comp just gives me "error loading operating system" on boot, what am i doing wrong?
[18:30] <ng0n> make it work.  no big deal.
[18:30] <RoshanK> thank you Jack_sparrow
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK: np... man kill in term will have info
[18:31] <orkun> any music player that you can plug in on a windows xp machine and detect without having to use an internet connection or inserting a cd should do 100% fine in ubuntu
[18:31] <LDS_Trooper> butcherbird, same here
[18:31] <ng0n> Fu: did you verify the CD.. no errors ?
[18:31] <orkun> LDS_Trooper:
[18:31] <LDS_Trooper> orkun, I guess I was concerned with the need for apple software
[18:31] <DrFrankenstein> Fujoor >  reinstall it?
[18:31] <Fujoor> ng0n: the cd works fine
[18:31] <DrFrankenstein> this can be caused by a lot of factors
[18:31] <Fujoor> DrFrankenstein: i did, 4 times
[18:31] <ng0n> yes.. but it may have errors.  run the checker on the opening menu..
[18:32] <Fujoor> DrFrankenstein: still gives me the same error, seems like it doesnt even load gru
[18:32] <tanlaan> Hello everyon
[18:32] <Fujoor> grub
[18:32] <tanlaan> e
[18:32] <ng0n> i did an install with a CD that booted fine... but messed up the install.
[18:32] <ng0n> turned out it was an error on the CD.
[18:32] <ng0n> easy to check.
[18:32] <Fujoor> but ive intalled other computers with that same cd
[18:32] <ng0n> O. ok.
[18:32] <ng0n> do.. the CD is good.
[18:32] <ng0n> does IT boot ?
[18:33] <ng0n> did you set your Bios to boot cd first ?
[18:33] <Fujoor> yeah, the live cd starts fine, i can surf n all
[18:33] <ng0n> ok... it boots, surfs.
[18:34] <ng0n> now. have done the disk partitons ?
[18:34] <LDS_Trooper> butcherbird, what's your thoughts on PDA with Ubuntu? Any limitations there?
[18:34] <Fujoor> oh cmon im not a total noob, ive installed ubuntu on plenty on computers, i think the problem is with grub, it oesnt install grub on this particular one, i have no clue wy, maybe its old`
[18:34] <Fujoor> but that shouldnt be any problem still, right?
[18:34] <ng0n> ok. so grub doesn't install.
[18:34] <ng0n> can't help you.
[18:34] <Fujoor> ok thanks anyway
[18:35] <ng0n> no prob.
[18:35] <ng0n> you can call grub manually.
[18:35] <n2diy> Fujoor: is this a Dell machine?
[18:35] <Fujoor> yeah im reading a faq about it now
[18:35] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow:  any suggestion?
[18:35] <ng0n> you can write grub manually too.
[18:35] <Fujoor> n2diy: not its actually some noname computers, that i put together by leftover parts
[18:35] <tanlaan> I just got a Compaq Presario f572us for Christmas and I'm a bit confused on the ability to boot to it. Apparently only a select few people have managed to not only get it to boot but also install it. BUT they had to sacrifice a lot of things to manage this. My confusion is, after such a big sale of them at CircuitCity, why hasn't such a compatibility error been patched/fixed in an update of Gutsy?
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> grumo: No, I dont want to help you break your system and you would not say what you were trying to install..
[18:36] <n2diy> Fujoor: ok, some Dell machines have a proprietary hidden partition, that screws up installs.
[18:36] <emad> gays please , i need help ,the Korganizer and Pidgin sound notifications does not work ...... and i have checked every thing but didnt found the problem ...... any ideas?!?!
[18:36] <grumo> libgpod
[18:36] <infinitycircuit> tanlaan, gutsy is stable, big updates are a no-no
[18:36] <LDS_Trooper> oh.. my ride is here.. back in later... cya
[18:37] <LDS_Trooper> thanks for the help guys!
[18:37] <infinitycircuit> tanlaan, and that is probably an upstream kernel problem anyway
[18:37] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow:  i am trying to install the new version of libgpod to be able to synk my ipod with amarok
[18:37] <Fujoor> n2diy: ah ... never had any problems on my dell tho', thanks anyway
[18:37] <Greevous> how do I go about renaming a removable disk?
[18:37] <grumo> Jack_Sparrow:  don't worry i won't blame you if my system breaks
[18:38] <tanlaan> infinitycircuit: Apparently its a problem with the wifi module, but it may be some other module along with it
[18:38] <acidicchip> Anyone know where there would be a step-by-step instructions and basic example usage for Lucene? I'm a java newbie (never even touched it), wanting to set it up to interface through PHP as the presenter.
[18:38] <acidicchip> I installed the liblucene, but have no clue how to use it
[18:39] <vb> how to add mount points in DiskUsage Screenlet?
[18:39] <jebblue> acidicchip http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/ ?
[18:40] <butcherbird> Greevous: you mean the label?
[18:40] <jimmygoon> Is there something like "galert" where I could pass something as an argument and have it displayed in some type of pop up box
[18:40] <Greevous> butcherbird: yes, I believe so
[18:41] <Greevous> butcherbird: instead of 'disk' when I mount my drive
[18:41] <Jerr> I'm not having any luck with btnx
[18:41] <Pici> jimmygoon: Theres notify-send , like the little notifications that you get that say that there are updated packages.
[18:41] <butcherbird> Greevous: you can use fdisk or cfdisk too i think.  id try gparted maybe for a gui tool
[18:41] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: zennity ??
[18:41] <Jerr> I'm trying to use my logitech G7 mouse, but the back button isn't working
[18:42] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: is zenity without the extra n ;)
[18:42] <Greevous> butcherbird: I used gparted to reformat it, but there aren't any options for setting the properties, only viewing them
[18:42] <Jerr> I installed btnx, but it's not doing anything, and I've tried doing what they say to do
[18:43] <butcherbird> Greevous: hmm then sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb  or whatever may be easiest
[18:43] <acidicchip> jebblue, I tried that, went into more detail about how it works rather than how to set it up. I'll look through it again, thanks.
[18:43] <Skwid_> is the ubuntu-desktop package supposed to be on the install CD ? or do I need the DVD ?
[18:43] <jimmygoon> erUSUL, can I customize the text :/
[18:45] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: zenity --notification --text="Hello world! \n Merry Chritsmas and \n Happy New Year"
[18:45] <jimmygoon> oh, --text :P
[18:45] <Greevous> butcherbird: that reminds me of another problem I had- after reformatting, I don't have permissions for a lot of things
[18:45] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: zenity --info --text="Hello world! \n Merry Chritsmas and \n Happy New Year"
[18:45] <jimmygoon> thats not in the -? docs :(
[18:45] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: man zenity
[18:46] <jimmygoon> erUSUL, yep, thanks!
[18:46] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: no problem ;)

[18:47] <morphles> is there a way to install older version of the package than the one it installs simply?
[18:47] <taicomjp> how to remove when I do ./configure make make install
[18:47] <Myrtti> make distclean
[18:48] <jebblue> acidicchip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucene try the external resources
[18:48] <acidicchip> jebblue, okay I'll check that out now. Thanks again.
[18:48] <erUSUL> taicomjp: manually unless the program has a "make uninstall" target... for futures source installs do checkinstall...
[18:49] <erUSUL> !info checkinstall | taicomjp
[18:49] <ubotu> taicomjp: checkinstall: installation tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-4ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 113 kB, installed size 544 kB
[18:49] <jebblue> acidicchip np also I used DotLucene in the past and it worked well so Lucene is a solid engine

[18:50] <acidicchip> Yea, so far that's what I've read.
[18:50] <Whitor> Hi... I'm havrouble mounting an external USB drive... How can I tell if the OS sees the drive at all ?

[18:51] <butcherbird> Whitor: dmesg | tail
[18:52] <butcherbird> Whitor: you should see an sda or sdb1 or whatever. additionally lsusb will show the device
[18:52] <Whitor> butcherbird: Isn't that for startup messages ?
[18:52] <Whitor> butcherbird: my internal sata drive is /dev/sda
[18:52] <butcherbird> Whitor: so unplug replug the usb drive and type dmesg | tail

[19:08] <Centaur5> Can you put 2 host names in /etc/hostname to make a server work with different domains?
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> SR71-Blackbird: We need to stop the offtopic.. sorry all

[19:10] <acidicchip> tomboy is awesome otherwise  though
[19:11] <SR71-Blackbird> acidicchip, i wonder how hard is it to do
[19:11] <snrch_rppt> hello
[19:11] <SR71-Blackbird> snrch_rppt, hello
[19:11] <vb> I need help using DiskSpace screenlet
[19:12] <cal> hi there!
[19:14] <acidicchip> SR71-Blackbird, as far as I know tomboy was written in .NET and is attached to the panel via mono.
[19:14] <cal> i was wondering if someone could give me a hand installing ubuntu. i've got the ubuntu server minimal install, and now I'm trying to install kubuntu from a cd... I've tried apt-cdrom add, but now when trying to 'apt-get update' the stdout says 'Ign cdrom://Kubuntu...'
[19:14] <cal> any idea?
[19:14] <iDope> some command to show memory usage information
[19:14] <cal> i'm googling btw...
[19:14] <acidicchip> SR71-Blackbird, so it may be alittle harder to do than we think
[19:14] <rem> someone used freenet?
[19:14] <iDope> very basic
[19:15] <iDope> not ps aux
[19:15] <iDope> not top
[19:15] <oldboy> These days I heared about "damn small linux". Can I do the same with my flash stick 4Gb???
[19:15] <iDope> something like df
[19:15] <SR71-Blackbird> acidicchip, hmm.. yeah.. that does mean we might be able to use some msdn codes
[19:15] <oldboy> With ubuntu
[19:15] <iDope> just overall usage info
[19:15] <erUSUL> cal: you can only apt-cdrom add the alternate cd not the dektop one afaik
[19:15] <acidicchip> oldboy, I have ubuntu on a 4GB usb drive. Alittle slow to boot, works well otherwise
[19:15] <cal> erSUL, thanx...
[19:16] <dm> Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded (says dmesg and lsmod) and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea?

[19:19] <jeff__> hi i need help understanding something...i have a truecrypt volume in created in windows formatted to ntfs...i am not using easycrypt(gui to access truecrypt volumes on linux) tomount a fat32 volume...i'm scared to mount the ntfs and WRITE on it for..fear of currupting my data... can i do this with with of mind?
[19:20] <rsk> jeff__: writing with ntfs3g should be safe
[19:20] <jeff__> have you done it with safety...writing and deleting
[19:20] <rsk> yes
[19:20] <jebblue> jeff__ i use truecrypt and it is just a file why not copy it to an ext3 partition and mount it?
[19:21] <jeff__> what sultuion can i use to securley delete file from ubuntu like ERASER in windows
[19:21] <Pici> jeff__: shred
[19:21] <vb> does any uses DiskSpace or DiskUsage screenlet?
[19:22] <jeff__> i'm talking abount a volume(file) 4GB that was orignallt formatted for ntfs when i created it
[19:22] <jebblue> jeff__ so what does truecrypt have to do with it?
[19:22] <noodles12> ok... i forgot where to go to change form double-clicking a window makes it maximize instead of shade
[19:22] <atomdog2003> Does Ubuntu server come with a desktop or windowing system at all?  Or is it a strictly command line access?
[19:23] <Pici> atomdog2003: strictly command line
[19:23] <Pici> atomdog2003: You can install the ubuntu-desktop package if you want/need a windowing system though (gnome)
[19:23] <pc09> FALA AEW pessoal
[19:24] <atomdog2003> Pici: todo that would be: sudo apt-get install ubuntun-desktop   ???
[19:24] <jeff__> truecrypt is what i created the volume with in windows...i'm using the gui easycrypt to access it now in read-only...so i'd like to write to it now... i just need to be sure that my data is safe
[19:24] <Pici> atomdog2003: yes, except ubuntu spelled correctly
[19:24] <atomdog2003> right
[19:24] <atomdog2003> nice
[19:25] <dm> atomdog2003: The difference is just what is installed _by default_
[19:25] <jebblue> jeff__ didnt know truecrypt can create volumes - i use it to create an encrypted filesystem inside a file and move that file whereever I want
[19:26] <atomdog2003> What is the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu?
[19:26] <fromvega> Hello
[19:26] <mohamed> hi
[19:26] <Pici> atomdog2003: Ubuntu has the Gnome desktop enviroment by default and Xubuntu has XFCE.
[19:26] <fromvega> How can I enable the Remote Desktop over the Internet?
[19:26] <mohamed> can any please tell me how to play DVD's on UBUNTU
[19:26] <mohamed> TOTEM seems to be giving me an error
[19:26] <atomdog2003> Can I access Ubuntu with TightVNX?
[19:26] <mohamed> with PLUGINS
[19:26] <Silver_Fox> Hi guys
[19:27] <atomdog2003> TightVNC that is ???
[19:27] <rsk> yes atomdog2003
[19:27] <jeff__> jebblue_ : i did both
[19:27] <atomdog2003> what VNC server should I install?  what command line to install it?
[19:28] <jebblue> jeff__ i think what you created was a file using truecrypt that happens to have resided on NTFS and inside that file lives  your encrypted filesystem. Since it is just a file you can move it to Linux and use Linux truecrypt to mount it.
[19:28] <Silver_Fox> I just saw this post on lifehack that says you can add addons to the GIMP.  Theres a list of adons here http://www.techzilo.com/gimp-plugins/   I can download them but how do i put them into the gimp?

[19:28] <happy1>  Can Linux running LDAP authenticate Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP Pro SP2 clients as you would to a domain (e.g., use the LDAP database to mitigate the need to store Windows passwords locally on every system)?
[19:28] <nonix4> Hmm, anyone know whether ICH9R is more evil than ICH9? Or in another words, is there a list of recent chipsets w/out treacherous computing module etc?
[19:28] <fromvega> rsk, how can I enable the Remote Desktop to accept internet connections? I think it's only accepting local connections
[19:28] <jebblue> jeff__ ok copy the file to Linux and mount with truecrypt
[19:29] <jebblue> jeff__ ignore the partition

[19:44] <jebblue> jeff__ WOL Wake on LAN (google it) and then as far as a service goes you can make a lot pf programs run under the control of xinetd like a service: http://archiv.debianhowto.de/en/xinetd/c_xinetd.html and as far as the web access part of your question I guess that depends on the program you want to access as a service, does it have a builtin web browser would be the question I would research

[19:49] <Casper4> Hi. I've compiled the kernel I got from apt-get install linux-image...why are the modules like 10 times bigger from my compilation than from the default install. I mean every single module is like 10 times bigger than the ones from the original install. How do I reduce the size? The original modules dir is like 70M, but the recompiled kernel is 500M..I used the original config from /boot to recompile..

[19:49] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[19:50] <wathek> erUSUL, I'm looking for changing my keyboard layout

[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> mrynit: A linux native game or one in wine, or one of the virtual tools
[19:55] <RoshanK> Can anyone help me as to how i would setup ssh server?
[19:55] <tHaDuDe> Hi, i just installed ubuntu and my sound doesnt work.. can anyone help me?
[19:55] <mrynit> Jack_Sparrow: linux native.
[19:55] <erUSUL> !sound | tHaDuDe
[19:55] <ubotu> tHaDuDe: 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
[19:56] <RoshanK> Jack_Sparrow do you know as to how i would setup ssh server? I installed open-ssh from the synaptic packet manager but what do i do from there?
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mrynit: Which game, just for my own information.. I have no clue on how to fix the problem at this point
[19:56] <lukasz> er Im only having trouble that amarok says no decode

[19:56] <lukasz> sry forgot r on the last one
[19:56] <basy> erUSUL: my web browsers stop downloading pages after, i dont know why, text based w3m is OK, but X-browsers firefox, Konqoeror and Opera shows only a top baner and menu and then never stop downloading

[19:57] <mrynit> i think...
[19:57] <RoshanK> ifireball that is what i isntalled
[19:57] <[1]akhilesh> RoshanK: I think "apt-get install ssh openssh-server" should do.
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> RoshanK:   I have the day off...  just lurking  I dont do ssh....someone will know
[19:57] <daxroc> Hi all
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> mrynit: thanks.. I have had no problem with sauerbraten
[19:58] <ifireball> RoshanK: then it should already be working, but maybe you need to start it "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart"
[19:58] <erUSUL> basy: ?? that's a weird problem becouse if text based browsers work xbaesd ones should work too...
[19:58] <RoshanK> ifireball i restarted
[19:58] <mrynit> Jack_Sparrow: i was playing with the video settings and it locked up so i rebooted.
[19:58] <daxroc> What is the turn around on package updates (time wise)?

[19:59] <daxroc> Pici: no general utilities / hardware stacks etc
[19:59] <basy> I can't open with any x-browser https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes, but w3m is OK
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> mrynit: Ah..That explains alot..  I would try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:59] <ifireball> RoshanK: it simply connects with all the user accounts and passwords you already have defined on the mavhine
[19:59] <Pici> daxroc: 6 months.  We dont have a rolling release like debian does.  We release stable versions every 6 months.
[19:59] <ifireball> RoshanK: machine*
[20:00] <Chemicalvamp> whats the best system monitor? that has temperature sensor
[20:00] <daxroc> Pici: is there a unstable repo ?
[20:00] <RoshanK> oh so once i install open-ssh server im done on the server side?
[20:00] <lukasz> still says no decoder found after I installed engines
[20:00] <ifireball> RoshanK: yes
[20:00] <Pici> daxroc: Theres the 'in development' release, but its probably not what you're looking for.
[20:00] <mrynit> Jack_Sparrow: are there any bad things that could happen b/c of that? I also installed xgl to get compiz0fusion to work but that made my games not work. I un Installed it with no trouble i belive

[20:01] <ifireball> RoshanK: unless you want to harden it a little by forcing use of crypto-keys rather then passwords
[20:02] <RoshanK> ifireball i think my regular password should be fine
[20:02] <RoshanK> is there anyway i can test to see if ssh is working right now?
[20:02] <sulle> I am looking on ENVY tutorials. But i dont see it covers the  ubunut gutsy. What can i do ?. it covers all other distros of  Ubuntu. please help.
[20:02] <ifireball> RoshanK: sure just "ssh localhost"

[20:25] <wols> iDope: grep CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL /boot/config-2.6.23*
[20:26] <willabee> hey
[20:26] <willabee> i'm trying to load a live cd on my laptop, but it just goes straight to windows
[20:26] <KnickLighter> willabee; check your BIOS settings for what device to boot first
[20:26] <willabee> the cd loads normally on other computers
[20:27] <kenan> is there a program on ubuntu gutsy where i can write a schedule and it will notify me at a certain time, (e.g, take out garbage, and a popup comes up to tell me that at a chosen time)
[20:27] <iDope> ok
[20:28] <wols> iDope: so what does it say?
[20:28] <iDope> you got me
[20:28] <iDope> its not set
[20:28] <iDope> :|
[20:28] <bruenig> uh oh
[20:28] <bruenig> well set it and recompile, set it =m and then you can just compile the modules
[20:28] <iDope> not only just it
[20:28] <iDope> ?
[20:28] <iDope> I should be able to do that too right?
[20:28] <bruenig> you could do that
[20:29] <willabee> brb restarting
[20:29] <wols> iDope: run menuconfig, enable the alsa stuff and whatever else and run make-kpkg again
[20:29] <iDope> right that will just compile the missing stuff
[20:29] <iDope> ie this module
[20:29] <wols> iDope: imho when you want a custom kernel, make a custom one. not a copy of the distro kernel. what's the point?
[20:29] <wols> iDope: run make-kpkg again. mostly only this module yes
[20:30] <iDope> well there are some changes
[20:30] <LimCore> hello,  how to rebuild the kernel that I have (in 7.10 amd64 bit) but exacly for my amd64 (not generic) SMP,  and while aplying to it grsecurity patch? (so perhaps it will be other version like 23.9)
[20:30] <iDope> esp some related to things i didn't want
[20:30] <iDope> and the stability issue is definitely fixed
[20:30] <iDope> thats what I wanted to fix
[20:30] <iDope> but now that i actually logged in
[20:31] <iDope> i realized that sound wasn't working
[20:32] <Sequin> Regel, I did sudo nautilus. Then found my drive filesystem/media/EXTERNAL. It would not let me change the group, or the folder access for "others"
[20:32] <iDope> I guess some of the driver section modules did get unselected
[20:32] <iDope> thanx for bashing me for my n00bness :)
[20:32] <wols> iDope: ubuntu kernel has patches, kernel.org source doesn't, might have made a difference
[20:33] <wols> iDope: anytime
[20:34] <shingoki> Does anyone have a straightforward howto for how I would build a package for libcwiimote-0.4? Gutsy only has o.2
[20:35] <pgjensen> anyone heard of parted working fine with partitions and then after reboot the filesystems on the partitions only allow the max cfdisk shows as the partition? (i.e. cfdisk will show EFI partition of 800gb, and 4000gb free space while parted shows 4800gb partition)
[20:35] <pgjensen> mkfs.ext3 will format the full 4800gb and then upon reboot when mounted shows 800gb under df
[20:36] <GHOST> hey there
[20:36] <ifireball> shingoki: I suppose you begin by taking the source package of the existing version and try to build it with the newer source
[20:36]  * RedHeron wonders if there isn't a maximum limitation at work there, pgjensen ...
[20:36] <shingoki> I was going to try that, but it seemed a bit awful :) I'll give it a go I suppose
[20:36] <m3talgod> connect irc.tveps.net
[20:36] <shingoki> I read something about making a source package, but honestly it scared me
[20:36] <wols> pgjensen: cfdisk can't deal with GPT partitions IIRC
[20:37] <ifireball> shingoki: package building isn't for the faint of heart... :P
[20:37] <shingoki> and then I have to make a -dev package as well I guess?
[20:37] <pgjensen> i know wols... not using cfdisk
[20:37] <shingoki> I just wish it was a bit more up to date
[20:37] <pgjensen> just weird how post-reboot ext3 partition is exact size that cfdisk shows
[20:37] <pgjensen> even though i'm using parted
[20:38] <pgjensen> and have never written anything via cfdisk/fdisk, only parted... and kernel has EFI/GPT enabled
[20:38] <ifireball> shingoki: I think the source package typically build both
[20:38] <shingoki> ah that's good
[20:38] <yrvyzz> Hello :) I have a problem with rhythmbox not playing the internet radio stream http://www.webhits.de/cgi/webclix?df=38517&link=5 though opening the same URL in Totem works without problems
[20:38] <lucilla> hi
[20:38] <lucilla> !list
[20:38] <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
[20:38] <yrvyzz> any hints?
[20:39] <yrvyzz> rhythmbox's error message box reads "unknown playback error"
[20:40] <GHOST> !libdvdcss
[20:40] <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
[20:40] <chazco> Hi... how can I install ubuntu-restricted-extras from the terminal but exclude msttcorefonts?
[20:40] <GHOST> !medibuntu
[20:40] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[20:41] <chazco> I think i'm after some sort of apt exclude argument
[20:41] <yrvyzz> ghost: doesn't seem to apply for me, I have everything installed to play CSS-protected DVDs, and Totem _can_ actually play the stream
[20:42] <GHOST> yrvzz yea tats why i keep xp
[20:43] <Yancho> how can i remove gnome so i can install xfce instead of it please?
[20:43] <yrvyzz> ghost: fortunately playing the Real stream works in Ubuntu/Rhythmbox but I'd like to solve the problem nonetheless
[20:43] <chazco> Would "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras -msttcorefonts" do it?
[20:43] <yrvyzz> Yancho: install xubuntu-desktop in Synaptic
[20:43] <GHOST> yrvyzz yea   mayby u should try vlc but the quality is low
[20:43] <Yancho> just that yrvyzz?
[20:43] <erUSUL> Yancho: there's no easy way of tdoing it
[20:44] <yrvyzz> Yancho: then choose session XFCE on login
[20:44] <yrvyzz> Yancho: however, it doesn't remove the Gnome stuff, just adds the XFCE stuff
[20:44] <GHOST> yrvyzz same thing here
[20:44] <Yancho> and u cant remove once and for all the gnome stuff yrvyzz?
[20:45] <yrvyzz> Yancho: I know no _easy_ way though I did the reverse to get rid of xubuntu-desktop which I had installed for testing :)
[20:46] <yrvyzz> Yancho: what's more, the XFCE desktop might also use some of the Gnome stuff
[20:46] <igcek> hello, does anybody have any experiance with getting laptop intigrated sd-card readers getting to work?
[20:46] <GHOST> bye and good luck everyone
[20:46] <LimCore> hello,  how to rebuild the kernel that I have (in 7.10 amd64 bit) but exacly for my amd64 (not generic) SMP,  and while aplying to it grsecurity patch? (so perhaps it will be other version like 23.9)
[20:46] <wols> to remove gnome is easy: apt-get --purge remove libgnome32 libgnome2-common
[20:46] <acidicchip> okay, silly question I'm sure. I login via SSH, it states I have new mail... How do I check it?
[20:46] <torrent3> How do I find my sound device in /dev ? Which one is it?
[20:46] <LimCore> how to start nested X session, in which I will log in to another user
[20:47] <yrvyzz> acidicchip: try mutt
[20:47] <wols> acidicchip: mutt, pine, mail, etc
[20:47] <erUSUL> torrent3: /dev/snd/*
[20:48] <yrvyzz> LimCore: when in Gnome, click the "exit" symbol in the upper right, then choose Switch userr
[20:48] <yrvyzz> sorry, that's not nested
[20:48] <torrent3> erUSUL: What about /dev/dsp ? What is that?
[20:48] <andymushu> i'm having trouble shuttin down my computer using lirc. can anyone help me please?
[20:49] <RequinB4> can anyone recommend me an audio extracter that works with ubuntu?  Trying to get audio out of a .flv file
[20:49] <erUSUL> torrent3: touchè
[20:49] <Flare183> andymushu: sudo shutdown -P now
[20:49] <torrent3> erUSUL: I don't have touche installed
[20:49] <Yancho> wols so i can do sudo apt-get --purge remove libgnome32 libgnome2-common ?
[20:49] <LimCore> yrvyzz: I want it to be nested
[20:49] <heckler0077> Hello.  How do I upgrade from 6.06 to the latest version?
[20:49] <andymushu> flare183: the trouble is that i don't want to have to put in the sudo password to shut down
[20:50] <RequinB4> !upgrade | heckler0077
[20:50] <ubotu> heckler0077: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[20:50] <wols> Yancho: yes
[20:50] <chazco> Would "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras -msttcorefonts" prevent msttcorefonts being installed but allow all the rest of it?
[20:50] <Flare183> andymushu: well you could just press and hold the power button down
[20:50] <Flare183> andymushu: but...
[20:50] <andymushu> flare183: i want to do it with the remote though
[20:50] <torrent3> someone tell me what is /dev/dsp ?? should i add /dev/dsp or adsp or snd to vmware?
[20:50] <wols> chazco: no
[20:51] <chazco> Ah... any idea how to wols?
[20:51] <wols> torrent3: /dev/dsp is the OSS sound device
[20:51] <Hilikus> hey guys
[20:51] <torrent3> wols: okay :)
[20:51] <wols> chazco: uninstall it after you install restricted. this will also remove the restricted metapackage
[20:51] <erUSUL> torrent3: i meant that i dunno exactly it is a french expression meaning "good point" or something like that
[20:51] <xeper> Does anyone here use acharge?
[20:51] <Flare183> andymushu: can't be done without sudo
[20:51] <chazco> Trouble is that downloads the fonts which takes bandwidth...
[20:51] <torrent3> erUSUL : oh okay :P im not french
[20:51] <Hilikus> whenever i remote ssh to my server i get the MOTD repeate twice, any ideas why is that?
[20:51] <torrent3> wols: What about adsp?
[20:52] <RequinB4> can anyone recommend an audio extractor that will extract the audio from .flv files
[20:52] <patrick_> anybody knows why i can adjust my desktop appearance, its stuck on everything off pm plz
[20:52] <andymushu> flare183: i know, but there is a way to make it so you don't need the sudo for shutdown
[20:52] <wols> torrent3: no clue what that's supposed to be
[20:52] <yrvyzz> LimCore: try installing xnest package
[20:52] <andymushu> flare183: it has something to do with the sudoers file
[20:53] <Bousteur> hello
[20:53] <yrvyzz> Hilikus: maybe something's calling motd a second time, look into shell startup scripts like .bashrc
[20:53] <xeper> Or... can anyone help me to get the USB charging on my Blackberry Pearl to work?
[20:53] <sidewalk> what application(s) do you recommend for graphical remote administration of Ubuntu?
[20:53] <chazco> wols - I've manually removed it before and the meta package stays installed (shows as installed in Synaptic)... What i'm trying to do is make a recovery script for clean installs... would rather not download all the fonts if possible though (they cause problems with my documents formatting and take up bandwidth)
[20:54] <adamonline46> Is it possible to have static IPs for some computers, and dynamic IPs for the rest?  I'm using a lynksys router as the main interface off the internet, but I have an old Ubuntu box that I'd like to use as the 'static' router for my room; about 5 machines.  When I tried this years ago, I was having problems; but I'd like to give it another go...
[20:54] <gu23gh> hey
[20:54] <wols> adamonline46: yes
[20:54] <gu23gh> does anyone know a good xdcc script for x-chat ?
[20:54] <Bousteur> is there a french ubuntu channel ?
[20:54] <thor> !fr
[20:54] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[20:54] <RequinB4> !fr
[20:54] <adamonline46> wols: I presume I'd need two NICs in the router machine?
[20:54] <vb> i am unable to view apple trailers on gutsy gibbon :(
[20:54] <yrvyzz> sidewalk: calling X applications after logging in with ssh -X host (X forwarding)
[20:54] <Bousteur> oh thanks
[20:54] <yrvyzz> ?
[20:54] <wols> adamonline46: yes
[20:55] <heckler0077> I am trying to upgrade in steps.  I have 6.06, and I am trying to upgrade to 6.10, so I ran the command gksu "update-manager -c"  but when it opened the update manager, it said that my system was up to date.  Help!
[20:55] <sYn_0n3> hey guys i have a weird issue i have a custom built box dual booting xp and ubuntu
[20:55] <wols> adamonline46: but depends. not really
[20:55] <Flare183> !upgrade
[20:55] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[20:55] <wols> adamonline46: a single switch and connecting the upstream to your linksys router is enough
[20:55] <Flare183> !upgrade | heckler0077
[20:55] <ubotu> heckler0077: please see above
[20:55] <sYn_0n3> i mount my ntfs partition within linux
[20:55] <andymushu> does anyone know how to do a "sudo shutdown -h now" without having it ask for the sudo password?
[20:55] <sYn_0n3> when i went to reboot and boot into windows i got a grub interface
[20:55] <Pelo> !enter | sYn_0n3
[20:55] <RequinB4> can anyone recommend an audio extractor that will extract audio from .flv files?
[20:55] <ubotu> sYn_0n3: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[20:55] <wols> andymushu: press ctrl+alt+del?
[20:55] <adamonline46> wols: I was thinking I might be able to get away with not doing so.  Perhaps just a DNS server that tracks the IPs of the other computers, or something, by MAC address...  I'm not really sure how to go about getting started...
[20:56] <heckler0077> I looked at the link, and followed the instructions, but when I entered the command and it opened the update manager, it said that my sytem was up to date
[20:56] <sYn_0n3> did linux overwrite my xp mbr? is the question and if it did..how so
[20:56] <mhall53> hey what is that program that makes ubuntu look good
[20:56] <andymushu> wols: i am trying to shut it down using lirc, but in order to execute the shutdown it asks for a password
[20:56] <wols> adamonline46: all you need to make sure is your linksys doesn't give out your static IP via DHCP. that's all
[20:56] <sYn_0n3> compiz@ mhall153
[20:56] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, you should be able to select windows xp from the grub menu
[20:56] <mhall53> thx

[20:56] <sYn_0n3> pelo i am able to select it but it never boots
[20:56] <andymushu> wols: i got the remote to work, the buttons function flawlessly, except for this shutdown thing
[20:56] <heckler0077> ubotu: I looked at the link, and followed the instructions, but when I entered the command and it opened the update manager, it said that my system was up to date
[20:57] <wols> andymushu: chmod +s /sbin/shutdown; sudo chown root.root /sbin/shutdown
[20:57] <sYn_0n3> yes all partitions are inputed in menu.lst
[20:57] <wols> andymushu: from then on: no more sudo required to run shutdown
[20:57] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, basicaly,  the ubuntu installer rewrites the mbr to point to the grub menu
[20:57] <adamonline46> wols: Hmm.  That may be easier said than done with proprietary firmware...
[20:57] <andymushu> wols: thanks
[20:57] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, are you getting an error msg ?
[20:57] <sYn_0n3> yes error 17
[20:57] <andymushu> wols: is there any way to reverse that if it messes anything up?
[20:57] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, hold on
[20:57] <wols> adamonline46: yes, remove the suid bit
[20:57] <sYn_0n3> grub error..but when i boot to ubuntu drive i get grub and im able to login to ubuntu
[20:57] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, pastebin your  /boot/grub/menu.lst  file so I can have a look
[20:57] <sYn_0n3> it looks like grub is installed on both drives
[20:57] <lilu001> que mierda de canal es este??
[20:58] <lleonard> @adamonline: there should be a web interface for your linksys where you can set the first dynamically assigned IP address.  everything below that defaults to static
[20:58] <wols> sYn_0n3: fdisk -l and your menu.lst both in a pastebin please
[20:58] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, ahhh
[20:58] <mqduck> hey, guys... im sorry for being totally off-topic, but can anyone tell me if one can use ddr2 memory on a motherboard that only supports ddr1?
[20:58] <sYn_0n3> sorry guys im at work right now and im on a xp machine
[20:58] <wols> mqduck: you can't
[20:58] <mqduck> thanks
[20:58] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, dl the supergrub cd and us it to fix your windows mbr
[20:58] <andymushu> wols: what is the command to reverse that chmod and chown on shutdown?
[20:58] <IamReck> anyone know of a good program to convert .avi files to .mp4?
[20:58] <vb> I am unable to view apple trailers on Gutsy :(
[20:58] <sYn_0n3> got you @ pelo
[20:58] <RequinB4> can anyone recommend an audio extractor that will extract audio from .flv files?
[20:58] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[20:58] <sYn_0n3> i heard good things about it but never used it
[20:59] <Pelo> sYn_0n3,  it is very reliable but the menu structure is a bit confusing in my opinion
[20:59] <wols> Pelo: why would grub boot a windows partition via MBR even if it's on another harddisk?
[20:59] <IamReck> or just a free program that will convert my videos to a playable format on ipod touch
[20:59] <heckler0077> help! I am trying to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10, and i followed the upgrading instructions.  When I ran the command in terminal, it opened update manager, which said that I had no new updates.  What do I do?
[20:59] <andymushu> iamreck: try zamzar.com
[21:00] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, personnaly , I have boot xp and ubunt on a seperete hdd,  I made sure that the ubuntu hdd was set to boot from the bios when i installed ubuntu,  that wayeach mbr is sepreate
[21:00] <bangelo> IamReck: Have you tried MEncoder?
[21:00] <wols> IamReck: ffmpeg and mencoder
[21:00] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, somehow he got grub stage one installed on both hdd
[21:00] <adamonline46> wols: So that's a client-side fix, then?  As in, on the machine, not the router?  You know, I'd actually not mind sticking with DHCP if I could use the box as a DNS server.  As long as there's only one 'hosts' file I have to maintain, I could live with that.  Do you know if I can install a DNS server on that machine, and have my other computers look to that first?  Oh, I guess I see why I'd need a static IP for at least that one...
[21:00] <wols> heckler0077: pastebin your sources.list
[21:00] <sYn_0n3> pelo..this is exactly how i have it setup
[21:00] <andymushu> wols: how do i reverse this command if it goes wrong?  chmod +s /sbin/shutdown; sudo chown root.root /sbin/shutdown
[21:00] <Pelo> wols, somehow he got stage one instaled on both hdd and pointing to the same /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:00] <sYn_0n3> bios ==linux hd 1st then xp
[21:00] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, very odd
[21:01] <sYn_0n3> but heres my thing i never redid my menu.lst just defaults
[21:01] <happy1> can someone help me partition a drive using command line tools?
[21:01] <wols> Pelo: that's not what I asked. why would grub boot via sdb and not via sdb1 or such?
[21:01] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, in anycase you'll be able to fix this using the supergrub cd
[21:01] <heckler0077> wols: I'm kindof a n00b to linux- how do I pastebin my sources.list?  Sorry
[21:01] <sYn_0n3> only thing i did different was add my xp ntfs partition to fstab
[21:01] <wols> !paste | heckler0077

[21:01] <pgjensen> do i have to use parted for >2tb partitions?
[21:01] <Pelo> wols,  not sure,  badly formated command line probably
[21:02] <heckler0077> wols: and where do i find my sources.list
[21:02] <wols> for the installer of grub to install to a windows bootsectore it needs  more than a badly formatted cmd line
[21:02] <wols> heckler0077: /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:02] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, I don'T think that would be related
[21:02] <sYn_0n3> thats the only thing i did different
[21:02] <andymushu> wols: do i need to use this whole command or just the first or second part?  chmod +s /sbin/shutdown; sudo chown root.root /sbin/shutdown
[21:03] <sYn_0n3> i remimaged my xp machine when i get home im gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best
[21:03] <Pelo> sYn_0n3, that's all I can tell you since you can'T show me your menu.lst file or the fstab atm
[21:03] <wols> sYn_0n3: best come back here when you have access to the machine in question
[21:03] <xeper> Does anyone here use a blackberry pearl with gutsy gibbon?
[21:03] <heckler0077> wols: i uploaded it to postbin
[21:03] <wols> heckler0077: and the url is?
[21:04] <sYn_0n3> got you..thanks guys for the help

[21:06] <Pelo> RequinB4, I can recommend a convertor so you can convert flv to something else like mpg and then you can extract the audio
[21:07] <Pelo> RequinB4, go to the forum www.ubuntuforums.org and search for convertit
[21:07] <RequinB4> Pelo - yeah, i was directed to http://flv2mp3.com, but i'd rather it be local

[21:20] <annonymouse> does any one know how to change the colour of the loading  screen after you login ?
[21:21] <LjL> LimCore: if it's a bug in wxwidgets like the report says, then one would have to downgrade wxwidgets, no? that doesn't seem like a completely good idea. besides, APT doesn't support automatic downgrading

[21:29] <silent_> I've noticed that in the Ubuntu wine install a program shortcut list is created in the Applications > Wine folder, however, such a menu is not created when manually installing wine. Is this a possible feature of wine or is it menu manipulation done by Ubuntu?
[21:29] <larryone> anybody got any ideas on how to debug this? I cant nslookup en.wikipedia.org from the termainal
[21:29] <yubwyub> danroj, you should say something about what is on the image, not just a link, if you want people to look at it....
[21:29] <Onyx> I'm brand new to Ubuntu, and I want to insert a module... do I have to build up a kernel from scratch, or is this something as easy as insmod?

[21:30] <wols> UBUNTUISLOVED: yes. via /etc/rc6.d/
[21:30] <Flannel> silent_: That shortcut is a benefit of package management.  Why did you compile wine anyway? when a repository is available
[21:30] <danroj>  enter to www.gfc.edu.co/~danroj/Pantallazo.png is my desktop with full aparence of mac osx
[21:30] <danroj> yubwyub, yes?

[21:32] <LimCore> erUSUL: well, I need a grsecurity... any other way to use it?

[21:32] <LimCore> LjL: mldonkey is strange... I just need a tool to search and then download files...
[21:33] <erUSUL> LimCore: if you really need there is no other way... go ahead and compile a custom kernel
[21:33] <Flannel> silent_: right, the menu is an ubuntu thing, because the ubuntu package knows where it ought to put the menu entry.

[21:47] <speeddemon8803> it is DISABLED
[21:47] <speeddemon8803> you CANNOT enable it

[21:47] <pgjensen> there a way to use cp and show disk speeds for copying?

[21:48] <sourcemaker> wols: Grub install is working fine
[21:48] <LiraNuna> I remember installing build-essential once and it lacked g++
[21:48] <wamty> "sudo su" is stupid
[21:48] <silent_> t94xr: you go back in time and not delete them
[21:48] <speeddemon8803> hey, what was the g++ stuff again?
[21:48] <wols> sourcemaker: do you get a grub menu?
[21:48] <sourcemaker> wols: bootup not
[21:48] <sourcemaker> wols: No
[21:48] <silent_> t94xr: check your trash bin
[21:48] <Flannel> speeddemon8803: install the "build-essential" package
[21:48] <t94xr> ok

[21:49] <speeddemon8803> heh, I would yet i dont have ubuntu on this computer lol
[21:49] <wamty> whats the point of sudo su ?
[21:49] <wols> sourcemaker: all you can do is reinstall grub

[21:49] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[21:49] <silent_> t94xr: you have to be very careful what you delete, especially when you use the terminal 'rm' command, there is no getting the data back

[21:49] <wols> sourcemaker: output of fdisk -l please
[21:49] <pgjensen> how do i show current disk transfer speeds?
[21:50] <silent_> sudo passwd root
[21:50] <t94xr> wamty, so every command and process isn't in administrative mode than anything can be changed on the system by any program or script

[21:50] <dm> Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded (say dmesg and lsmod) and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea?
[21:50] <wamty> If you knew what each command did, you would be more likely to use them correctly.

[21:51] <wamty> I prefer sudo -s, but that's just me
[21:51] <wamty> tritium ?

[22:19] <drifterz> I've used Ubuntu for the last 6 months and have learned how to use a lot of command line commands and have started to understand the core. What i'm still seeing is Windows despite being commercial closed source software is easy to use, very user friendly only in the way that it's all inclusive in terms of GUI. Ubuntu just isn't as user friendly all the time. I'm confused on this subject because I know the good and bad of both operating systems and while U
[22:19] <drifterz> buntu is competative I just don't see it ready to take over windows. win 3.1 & 95 and 98 all ran off of DOS which made these systems inferior to XP 2000 etc. Isn't the same thing happening or going to happen to Linux, this case Ubuntu?
[22:20] <ph|ber> ok.. first i cant get anything over 800x600, and glxinfo seg. faults. and when i do lsmod, nvidia shows 0
[22:20] <ph|ber> all was fine until a few days ago.. i figured it was an update.. somehow..
[22:20] <wols> drifterz: you make no sense
[22:20] <PKdoR> an any body point to a tut on installing x-fi sound card for ubuntu  [x86] please I cant find it in the forums
[22:20] <pc_> ben nieuw hier gr Theo
[22:20] <wols> ph|ber: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[22:21] <erUSUL> PKdoR: last time i checked there wasn't drivers for this card for 32 bit linux....
[22:21] <ph|ber>         Driver          "nvidia"
[22:21] <wols> ph|ber: pastebin

[22:21] <ph|ber> and.. everything seg faults!
[22:21] <Zombie> Is dd_rescue availible on the Ubuntu DVD?
[22:21] <drifterz> wols: I'm saying Ubuntu is gnome on linux which is similar to windows on Dos. It in my opinion not as stable as an OS written to include the GUI.
[22:22] <wols> drifterz: you are very mistaken
[22:22] <lleonard> dm: I am headed out the door, time to go home.  Sorry I wasn't able to be more helpful right now.
[22:22] <ng0n> my master volume doesn't work.. only the headphone vol works.  how do i fix it ?
[22:22] <erUSUL> Zombie: on the liveCD?
[22:22] <Zombie> On the Gutsy DVD
[22:22] <B-rabbit> is nspluginwrapped made by adobe?
[22:22] <peeks> what i dont understand is why that gutsy dvd includes all those KDE applications
[22:23] <wols> ph|ber: dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so
[22:23] <wols> peeks: cause it has the space for it
[22:23] <ng0n> peeks.. ya ! and y no SKYPE ?
[22:23] <Zombie> I need to clone a (failing) Linux Hard drive.
[22:23] <peeks> but there is no KDE
[22:23] <peeks> only kde apps
[22:23] <ph|ber> libgl1-mesa-dev: /usr/lib/libGL.so
[22:23] <wols> ng0n: skype is proprietary compost. it can't be on a Free ubuntu CD
[22:23] <ng0n> wols: tnx.
[22:23] <wols> ph|ber: that's why. uninstall all mesa stuff
[22:24] <ng0n> i'll compile it.
[22:24] <peeks> the installer should have the option of choosing which packages to install
[22:24] <tifine> how to setup a service that will start when the computer start ?
[22:24] <wols> !skype
[22:24] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[22:24] <wols> tifine: what kind of service?
[22:24] <tifine> wols: tomcat, apache2, mysql, postgresql
[22:25] <wols> ph|ber: then reinstall the glx package from nvidia restricted and make usre all /usr/lib/libGL* come from a nvidia package only
[22:25] <drifterz> wols: why? because of the patch work style of Linux it is hard for uneducated users to grasp the use of Ubuntu. From a aspect of incorperating in the business world with windows users there is too much of a gap. I think because the linux kernel was not written with the GUI in mind this is difficult.
[22:25] <wols> !lamp | tifine
[22:25] <ubotu> tifine: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[22:25] <wols> tifine: just install the packages for them and they are started by default

[22:26] <collins> Hello all
[22:26] <chrismurf> quaal,  no more dinking around with ndiswrapper
[22:26] <quaal> er chrismurf
[22:26] <quaal> thats good news
[22:26] <wols> drifterz: your topic
[22:26] <wols> drifterz: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[22:26] <collins> I compiled the 2.6.23 kernel because i needed support for my aircard that doesnt exist in 2.6.22
[22:26] <chrismurf> quaal, suspend/resume isn't always 100%
[22:26] <collins> when i compiled the new kernel, the nvidia driver stopped working
[22:27] <collins> i installed the nvidia driver manually
[22:27] <chrismurf> but I don't know whether to blame that on drivers, ubuntu, whatever, and I haven't tried very hard to fix it.
[22:27] <quaal> now next up why is my mdadm raid1 always disappearing when i reboot
[22:27] <drifterz> wols: I see.
[22:27] <collins> and now it says i need to install linux-2.6.23-restricted-drivers
[22:27] <collins> but i cant because it doesnt exist
[22:27] <collins> can i remove the restricted drivers check from ubuntu
[22:27] <collins> its rather annoying

[22:28] <UBUNTUISLOVED> how can i download a different version of firefox so i can do some testing for webdevelopment work.
[22:28] <tritium> collins: anybody who wants fglrx, nvidia, madwifi support, etc.
[22:28] <LimCore> hdevalence: and how do I find where to downliad?
[22:29] <tritium> collins: i.e., it is _far_ from crap, as it supports prevalent hardware
[22:29] <LimCore> hdevalence: in example I want the 300 movie, and...?
[22:29] <sakuramboo> what package is glib-gettext in?

[22:29] <graft> collins: intall the nvidia drivers from their website?
[22:29] <tritium> collins: you'll have to rebuild the restricted modules
[22:29] <hdevalence> LimCore: google is your friend
[22:29] <tritium> graft: no, not the preferred option
[22:30] <collins> tritium, i rebuilt the nvidia kernel module
[22:30] <UBUNTUISLOVED> LimCore: you mean to create one? what program you using?
[22:30] <wols> tritium: that is not hwat he said
[22:30] <graft> tritium: he's building his own kernel anyway, he clearly doesn't give a shit about preferred
[22:30] <ph|ber> wols: still fubared
[22:30] <collins> tritium, and UBUNTU boots into safe graphics mode and tells me that i need the restricted drivers manager

[22:31] <ubotu> DareFace: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[22:31] <graft> right, sorry
[22:31] <tritium> collins: why are you building your own kernel?
[22:31] <collins> tritium, i have a Sprint Aircard, pci-express that has native support in kernels 2.6.23 and up
[22:31] <tritium> collins: fair enough
[22:31] <collins> tritium, they have hackjob drivers for earlier kernels

[22:31] <collins> but it doesnt work right

[22:32] <tritium> erUSUL: he said he has already
[22:32] <collins> erUSUL, i DID that, now ubuntu wants me to have a restricted drivers manager for the new kernel, and it doesnt exist
[22:32] <stinger05> i need a good firewall with a GUI rather than firestarter, any suggestions ?
[22:32] <wilstar> I have p35 chipset. I must boot with acpi=off option to launch the system 7.10. Is there a solution? (motherboard asus p5k se)
[22:32] <tritium> collins: what is the exact error, and where is it being reported?
[22:32] <mavi-> collins: open you services under the system settings menu
[22:32] <mavi-> collins: and turn off that service
[22:33] <UBUNTUISLOVED> stinger05: is this for a laptop?
[22:33] <collins> tritium:  "You need to install the package  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.23.12 for this program to work

[22:33] <Xplicit> i have a wired conection managed by NetworkManager, and a wireless not managed by them, im using firestarter to bridge the 2  but my wii wont connect through it, is my stup wrong or my wii?
[22:33] <collins> when i try to open the restricted drivers manager
[22:33] <Hot_Girl> what is the CTRL + ALT + DELETE of Ubuntu ????
[22:33] <erUSUL> collins: i use custom kernel + nvidia.com drivers and restricted drivers didn't give any issue
[22:33] <mavi-> collins: just turn off ther service named "restricted drivers manager" and it wont autostart
[22:33] <Hot_Girl> my system hung.... i don't wanna re boot....
[22:33] <tritium> collins: at what point?
[22:33] <tritium> Hot_Girl: the same key combination
[22:33] <Hot_Girl> what is the ctrl+alt+del of Ubuntu -- my system hung and i don't wanna reboot.
[22:33] <Hot_Girl> TY tritium
[22:34] <collins> tritium, when i go to open the restricted drivers manager
[22:34] <ph|ber> kernel: [  213.352000] NVRM: API mismatch:
[22:34] <collins> it gives that error
[22:34] <ph|ber> the client has the version 1.0-9639, but
[22:34] <UBUNTUISLOVED> why not use firestarter?
[22:34] <collins> and then i cant enable the driver
[22:34] <Hot_Girl> it is not working tritium.
[22:34] <kyu_flux> Hot_Girl:  have you tried ctrl-alt-backspace?
[22:34] <Hot_Girl> do i have any other options
[22:34] <collins> how do i disable restricted drivers manual
[22:34] <collins> i dont see it in services
[22:34] <mavi-> collins: ive told you twice
[22:34] <chrismurf> Hot_Girl, try ctrl+alt+backspace
[22:34] <mavi-> ah
[22:34] <tritium> Hot_Girl: ssh into the box and sudo reboot
[22:34] <mavi-> it should be in there
[22:34] <stinger05> cause i always have to open it manually everytime the pc starts
[22:34] <Hot_Girl> that worked, KyleS-home....
[22:34] <Hot_Girl> wait....
[22:34] <mavi-> Hot_Girl: ctrl-alt-F1/F2/F3 gives you terminals
[22:34] <Hot_Girl> its rebooting, i think
[22:34] <stinger05> knowing its in the background
[22:35] <tritium> Hot_Girl: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts X
[22:35] <collins> mavi-,  i see it in the init.d
[22:35] <Hot_Girl> errr its doing something crazy
[22:35] <collins> but
[22:35] <collins> not in the gui for services
[22:35] <mavi-> collins: remove the link from init.d then =)
[22:35] <collins> mavi-, yeah i guess i will
[22:35] <kyu_flux> hahaha
[22:35] <dm> Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded (say dmesg and lsmod) and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea?
[22:35] <mavi-> collins: weird it isnt in services tho, think mine was
[22:35] <kyu_flux> Hot_Girl: i'm going to try that, too... change my name to Hot_Chick and then ask for help =)
[22:36] <mavi-> works like a charm
[22:36] <collins> well im off to reboot, and see if it solves my problem
[22:36] <collins> thanks
[22:36] <mavi-> collins: just do /etc/init.d/restricted* stop
[22:36] <tritium> kyu_flux: that didn't hide his real name "Greg"
[22:36] <UBUNTUISLOVED> stinger05: why not create a script to start it on boot
[22:36] <pteague_work> does anybody know why OpenOffice opens html docs with a forced mime-type for excel documents & has a .xls extension as web writer instead of as a spreadsheet?
[22:36] <collins> mavi-, its actually linux-restricted*
[22:36] <collins> but yeah
[22:36] <Hot_Girl> lol tritium... i only use this so people resond to me faster. I could hcange my name also.
[22:36] <collins> i guses i dont need to reboot
[22:36] <kyu_flux> tritium: I know, but how many people would check?
[22:36] <Hot_Girl> you know...it does work... ;-)
[22:37] <speeddemon8803> Hot_girl....why change your name...people dont care what you look like on here...
[22:37] <speeddemon8803> unless their freaks or something
[22:37] <tritium> Hot_Girl: no, I nearly banned you, thinking you were a bot...
[22:37] <speeddemon8803> hot_girl...many spam bots use names like hot_girl sexy_thing etc.
[22:38] <UBUNTUISLOVED> I really thought you were a hot girl
[22:38] <speeddemon8803> tritium...my op radar went off as well on hot_girls lol

[22:39] <GMoonit> there ya'll go
[22:39] <speeddemon8803> honestly...you didnt have me fooled..you had me concerned for this channels flooding potential
[22:39] <GMoonit> i was at the book store and i picked up 'the offical ubuntu' guide
[22:39] <GMoonit> then sat down and read it and some guy came over and we talked about linux
[22:39] <GMoonit> it was cool
[22:39] <speeddemon8803> lol yeah ive had that happen b4
[22:39] <tritium> GMoonit: don't think for a minute that I didn't check your reverse DNS right away to see if you were a bot.
[22:39] <GMoonit> hey tritium i run a chat also (not on IRC) but i have to deal with flooders so i hear you mate
[22:40] <nuko> is it common that the installation freezes at 33% whilest formatting?
[22:40] <speeddemon8803> some random guy came up to me and started off about ubuntu sucks and linux this..im like..have you even tried it..he said no
[22:40] <speeddemon8803> i was like..then how the heck can you make these claims then.
[22:40] <UBUNTUISLOVED> because he works for Microscrap
[22:40] <speeddemon8803> <---runs quite a few ubuntu servers...and they honestly BEAT windows servers in reliability and stability.
[22:41] <sakuramboo> is there any precompiled binaries for libgpod-0.6.0?
[22:41] <nuko> speeddemon8803: what the relation to "ubuntu support" ?

[22:45] <speeddemon8803> because i do | all the time and i see everyone else putting it as >
[22:45] <dmibnmg> tritium: mt-daapd is also a server - isn't it ??
[22:45] <jimmygoon> Anyone know of a good app to read an eeprom from a serial port?
[22:45] <streamtype> I try to get ubuntu jeos running in vmware server. but after installing it starts with a busybox commandline prompt. I sthat normal Or dit I missed a step during installation?
[22:45] <dm> Slasher`: maybe apache2-mod-php5 is missong
[22:46] <dm> missing*
[22:46] <Slart> dmibnmg: apparently I'm not up to date on this.. I'm going to do some wikipedia reading.. =)
[22:46] <MancBloke> Is anybody familiar with Mythbuntu?
[22:46] <RenaN-rox> ...
[22:46] <Slasher`> dm: possibly, it won't let me apt-get it unless, maybe there is a different package name for it?

[22:47] <MancBloke> I have a problem with the mythweather package hanging.
[22:47] <speeddemon8803> Slasher` possibly have to enable different repositories to get it :)
[22:47] <MancBloke> It wont let me do anything.
[22:47] <Slart> speeddemon8803: I'm assuming you mean the difference when it's used in the terminal? I think > sends output to a file.. | is used to send it to another command.. such as grep or less
[22:47] <JoeThomas> I keep getting a black screen when running vga=791 and 795, but i've had it like that on feisty install of server-edition, now running gutsy.
[22:47] <Slasher`> speeddemon8803; yeah, maybe... do you have any links to tutorials showing how to do that, please?
[22:48] <speeddemon8803> sure, brb Slasher`
[22:48] <dm> Slasher`: libapache2-mod-php5
[22:48] <Slart> speeddemon8803: ls > less just creates the file "less".. and puts the output of the command ls into that file.. ls | less sends the output of ls to the less command.. which lets you look at it.. browser around and such
[22:48] <pppoe_dude> anyone know why (just in feisty and gutsy, but not in edgy), when unmounting some external devices such as memory card readers or mp3 players, the devices don't say "it;s safe to disconnect" any more?
[22:49] <Slasher`> dm; hmm it's not that then, I already have that installed :/
[22:49] <[1]Sky> hi
[22:49] <pppoe_dude> ubuntu would tell me it's safe to disconnect, but the device would remain stuck on the 'dont disconnect' screen
[22:49] <speeddemon8803> slasher:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[22:49] <sakuramboo> why is there no glib in the repos?

[22:52] <mavi-> quaal: use lsattr on the file
[22:52] <acidicchip> anyone else having an issue using Bitwise IM in 7.10?
[22:52] <crdlb> sakuramboo: that will automatically install everything you need to build it
[22:52] <ripper> hi all
[22:52] <quaal> mavi-, what the hell does that do
[22:52] <LimCore> is ubuntu usable?
[22:52] <mavi-> quaal: it can have some magic attributes that makes it un-deletable
[22:52] <LimCore> I tried 2 applications today, both failed totally (both crash all the time) - amule and privoxy
[22:52] <ripper> how do i extract the certificate from a .p7c file?
[22:52] <mavi-> quaal: its short for "List attributes"
[22:52] <bmt2> hello to all
[22:52] <sakuramboo> cool, thanks crdlb, ill let you know how it turns out
[22:52] <acidicchip> LimCore, me bing in this chatroom is proof it's usable.
[22:53] <quaal> mavi-, i just ran lsattr by itself
[22:53] <acidicchip> being rather
[22:53] <quaal> and it scrolled through a bunch of ./ files
[22:53] <bmt2> i am trying to teach myself python.....does ubuntu have a built-in python editor that i can use ?
[22:53] <ASD7A> so I try to compil fuppes ( http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/ ) but ./configure fails ( http://rafb.net/p/RS99fy14.html )
[22:53] <Slart> bmt2: IDLE ? isn't that python?

[22:54] <acidicchip> oops wrong link, hold on

[22:54] <speeddemon8803> or that first part for that matter!
[22:54] <speeddemon8803> we just need to update the triggers then ops :P
[22:55] <mavi-> bmt2: sure can, start an texteditor and write it down =)
[22:55] <crdlb> bmt2: just use any text editor

[22:57] <gaelik> hi jack
[22:57] <nicolah> I'd like to fsck an unmounted hd, but it says it's mounted or open exclusively by another program. how do I check ?
[22:57] <gaelik> where can i find info about how to use compiz?
[22:57] <Slart> nicolah: lsof lists open files
[22:57] <ubuntu0264> what is the best way to uninstall wine in ubuntu?
[22:57] <Slart> gaelik: #compiz-fusion
[22:58] <jamescarr> is there a chan for linux mint?
[22:58] <rsk> #mint maybe
[22:58] <Slart> jamescarr: yes.. it might be rather sleepy though
[22:58] <Slart> ubuntu0264: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine doesn't work?
[22:58] <jamescarr> #mint isnt it
[22:58] <theTrav> hey, I'm going to be jamming a fair bit with friends this weekend and want to record some of the stuff on my laptop.  Can anyone recommend me some music recording software for linux that does easy multi track recording?
[22:59] <scguy318> theTrav: Audacity comes to mind
[22:59] <eologolo> hi, anyone knows how to recover info, data or files out of a disaster with raid-1?
[22:59] <theTrav> scguy318, thanks
[22:59] <crdlb> jamescarr: how about #linuxmint ?
[22:59] <ubuntu0264> that worked thank you is that the same for all stuff i install from apt-get?
[23:00] <theTrav> I'm not after anything special, just basically what an 8 track could do
[23:00] <Slart> ubuntu0264: yes
[23:00] <Slart> !apt | ubuntu0264
[23:00] <ubotu> ubuntu0264: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[23:00] <collins> OK, so I removed all nvidia modules and installed the latest nvidia driver and compiled it for my new kernel, and it did the right resolution and glx and all that --- but then went i went to compiz to turn on visual settings Ubuntu still wants me to enable "restricted drivers", even though it's already running the nvidia driver
[23:00] <scguy318> eologolo: no clue, but since RAID 1 is mirror, I would figure that you would restore from the functioning disk
[23:00] <collins> any ideas?
[23:00] <nicolah> Slart: lsof | grep /dev/sda gave no output
[23:00] <Slasher`> well that didn't work, anyone have any other ideas as to why apache isn't phrasing php files and instead asking me to download the file instead?
[23:00] <ompaul> theTrav, what was wrong with scguy318's suggestion of audacity?
[23:01] <Slart> nicolah: try running lsof | /media/sda instead..
[23:01] <Slart> nicolah: sorry.. lsof | grep /media/sda
[23:01] <KyleS-home> o.o who said my name? lol

[23:02] <beewoo> hello there. i have just installed xubuntu on a sony laptop and the fan wont stop, anyone can help?
[23:02] <ubuntu0264> ive tried to remove from within synaptic and it tells me its going to break all sorts of things but i will look at the manual thanks for the info
[23:02] <GHOST> pull the plug lol
[23:02] <Slart> eologolo: I don't remember is RAID-1 is mirror or striped.. if it's a mirror just try reading the healthy drive by itself.. if it's striped.. well.. it's "restore from those backups that you always made. right?" time
[23:02] <nicolah> (to scan completely a drive, should I use sudo fsck /dev/sda ?)
[23:02] <eologolo> scguy318, my trouble is that after a missconfiguration happened bit later of the instalation and now i managed to synch the raid, but  the somehow restored info in the raid is not the lates one but the  near installation version
[23:03] <Slart> nicolah: sounds correct, afaik
[23:03] <evan_> how can i create a runpath?
[23:03] <KnifeHat> Is freemind not in any ubuntu 7.10 repos?
[23:03] <Slart> !find freemind
[23:03] <KnickLighter> Hi; I'm currently having problems with my VPN server. It allows me to connect and I can connect to the server itself inside the VPN, but it won't let me connect outside the box, as example google.com.. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Some config setting or firewall?
[23:03] <scguy318> eologolo: unfortunately I don't anything significant about RAIDs :(
[23:03] <ubotu> Package/file freemind does not exist in gutsy
[23:03] <Tonren> What's the Aptitude command to get a list of ALL installed packages?  It's aptitude search ~nsomethingorother, right?
[23:03] <kgelli18> hi
[23:04] <eologolo> Slart, well... world would be a better place if everyone did proper backups... yet not very much fun
[23:04] <jenda> Any idea why my vlc won't play a .rm file? It just shows a black screen and plays the sound.
[23:04] <KnifeHat> !find freemind
[23:04] <kgelli18> hi :)
[23:04] <evan_> !runpath
[23:04] <ubotu> Package/file freemind does not exist in gutsy

[23:05] <JoeThomas> Anyone having success with framebuffer in ubuntu-server gutsy?
[23:05] <Slart> eologolo: nope
[23:05] <Shpook> Alright, I want my system back to like new. Do I re-format, or is there an easier way?
[23:05] <ubuntu0264> what is the best way to get the correct video driver for an nvidia 5200?
[23:05] <Slart> !nvidia | ubuntu0264
[23:05] <ubotu> ubuntu0264: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[23:05] <jenda> Slasher`: thanks - I think I went through that already, but I'll check again.
[23:06] <Slasher`> np
[23:06] <eologolo> I made a mirror Raid-1 with /boot partition and another one holding LVM on it... now welcome hell!
[23:06] <ubuntu0264> i have the one from nvidia but i cant start the 3d desktop is there a trick to it?
[23:06] <ubuntu0264> i am using 7.10
[23:06] <ubuntu0264> ubuntu
[23:06] <ompaul> eologolo, have a look at that web page I have suggested twice: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874
[23:06] <Slart> ubuntu0264: why not stick with the one in the restricted drivers manager?
[23:06] <eologolo> ompaul, i'm on it, thx man
[23:07] <ubuntu0264> how do i go back to that one?
[23:07] <Shpook> Is there a way to restore a system to new without completely re-formatting?
[23:07] <ubuntu0264> as you have guessed im pretty new to linux
[23:07] <jamescarr> i want to powertune my ubuntu installation on my laptop
[23:07] <beewoo> hello, i hve just intstalled xubuntu gutsy on a sony laptop but the fan doesn,t stop. anyone can help?
[23:08] <Slart> ubuntu0264: the more reason to not "stray from the path" =)... I'm not sure about how to revert to the old driver though.. sorry
[23:08] <jamescarr> I have great hardware, but it feels that sometimes it gets a lil slow
[23:08] <Slasher`> OK, I installed something... now when I access a php file I'm getting "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." anyone have any ideas how i could fix this?
[23:08] <Tonren> I'm about to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 over my 7.04 (which was updated from 6.10, which was updated from 6.06... it's gotten kind of messy.)  What are some things you always forget to save before wiping your install?
[23:08] <ubuntu0264> should the default driver support dual monitor
[23:08] <ubuntu0264> and 3d
[23:08] <Slart> ubuntu0264: I don't know about dual monitor.. but it would support 3d
[23:09] <Shpook> Tonren: packages and bookmarks.
[23:09] <ubuntu0264> cool thanks for the info i could not get dual monotors to work that is the reason i went looking for a new driver
[23:09] <nicolah> Slart: I mounted and umounted the drive and now it works, misteries ,)
[23:09] <Tonren> Shpook: Packages?
[23:09] <Slart> ubuntu0264: check the forums.. you're not the first one to ask about dual monitors on nvidia cards.. there ought to be some answers there
[23:09] <[Nix0N]> i have problem: "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!"
[23:10] <ubuntu0264> ok thank you
[23:10] <pike_> !dualhead | ubuntu0264
[23:10] <ubotu> ubuntu0264: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[23:10] <jamescarr> everytime I apt-get install, it tries to install a broken package that I dont even want, and asks me what to do
[23:10] <saty> heyy buddies
[23:10] <Slart> nicolah: you've pleased the computer-troll in your computer... don't forget to leave him a glass of whiskey tonight =)
[23:10] <jamescarr> how can I remvoe that package from the install list so it will quit bugging me about it?
[23:10] <pike_> jamescarr: apt-get -f install?
[23:10] <saty> I am new to the linux
[23:10] <ubuntu0264> can i run dual head and 3d at the same time?
[23:10] <Condoulo> is there a Ubuntu-BASED distro with all the codecs and ATI drivers pre-installed.
[23:10] <jamescarr> I dont want the package
[23:10] <pike_> ubuntu0264: yes
[23:10] <Shpook> Tonren: yeah, any packages or programs you've installed that aren't in the repos...save them. And make a list of any packages that you have installed from the repos.
[23:10] <Slart> jamescarr: sudo apt-get remove packagename?
[23:11] <jamescarr> it says its not installed, Slart
[23:11] <ubuntu0264> cool
[23:11] <jamescarr> when I try
[23:11] <Slart> jamescarr: hmm..  hang on.. let me check
[23:11] <Tonren> Shpook: How do you do that?  aptitude search ~nI or something?
[23:11] <Shpook> Tonren: I'm actually doing the same thing right now, getting ready to reformat.
[23:12] <maek> how do I get the 2.6.24 kernel in gutsy? do I install from the hardy repo?
[23:12] <Delvien> Anyone know the command on how to suspend or standby your system ?
[23:12] <plee> Delvien, suspend
[23:13] <Tonren> Shpook: How do you do the list-of-installed packages thing, anyway?
[23:13] <Slart> jamescarr: I'm pretty sure there is a switch or something you can use to make apt-get make a clean start.. can't find it now though
[23:13] <ompaul> maek, you don't do that - it is a package based distro and that will most likely break your box several times
[23:13] <Shpook> Tonren: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=564
[23:13] <Delvien> plee no such command
[23:13] <Tonren> Shpook: Thanks!
[23:13] <ompaul> maek, security is based on patching the software you have until it is unsupported
[23:13] <maek> ompaul: I was thinking I could get the modules as well. I did it once with 6.10
[23:13] <olli> hello! i've got some porblems with grub: 17 : Cannot mount selected partition
[23:13] <olli>     This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
[23:14] <olli> but i don't know what to do
[23:14] <Shpook> Tonren: np :-)
[23:14] <plee> Delvien, hibernate ?
[23:14] <ompaul> maek, survival is dubious at best with that kind of arrangement
[23:14] <te_> I've got fully updated ubuntu on  AMD64 3000+.  All seems to be running ok.  But have  nVidia NV18 GeForce4 MX 4000 and probably need to ugrade the graphics driver.  Any tips on what I should do..?
[23:14] <maek> ompaul: I tried 8.04 but it was a bit whacky for me to use as my daily driver for work. and 7.10 has no sound
[23:14] <maek> ompaul: ok, thanks. ill let it be.
[23:14] <ompaul> !sound | maek
[23:14] <ubotu> maek: 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
[23:15] <te_> Actually, it was 7.04, but upgraded just now to Gutsy.
[23:15] <scguy318> plee: I don't believe those commands exist
[23:15] <olli> te_ tried the restricted drivers thing?
[23:15] <Tonren> Shpook: I do a lot of crazy development on my poor laptop, so the installation gets really messy.
[23:15] <te_> olli: Where is that... (don't think so...)
[23:15] <maek> ompaul: thanks, but I have the intel hd card. I found a solution here. get the backports of the linux modules. thanks.
[23:15] <Tonren> Shpook: I always try out lots of apps, then uninstall them, or reconfigure them, so my home directory is clogged with all sorts of leftover .conf files, and there are dozens of things i don't use anymore...
[23:15] <scguy318> Delvien: sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep ?
[23:16] <nicolah> what's the equivalent of defrag in unix shell ?
[23:16] <Shpook> Tonren: lol I have a problem with getting in over my head, or installing everything that sounds interesting
[23:16] <Tonren> Shpook: Also, I've been having some very scary issues lately (like the computer FREEZING, yes FREEZING, when I try to switch users), so I hope reinstalling will fix it.
[23:16] <olli> in xubuntu you can find it in Applications / Systems / Restricted Drivers
[23:16] <maek> nicolah: unix/linux needs no defrag
[23:16] <scguy318> nicolah: there is none, Linux filesystems simply do not need to be defragged
[23:16] <nicolah> ok
[23:16] <nicolah> thanks
[23:16] <plee> scguy318, not the hibernate command no.. but the suspend command exists :)
[23:17] <scguy318> plee: well, as a shell built-in, but doesn't help you suspend/hibernate at all :P
[23:17] <Shpook> Tonren: Same. My computer freezes now, sometimes applications won't open, sound only works when it wants to, along with video.
[23:17] <Shpook> Tonren: So, time to re-install :-)
[23:17] <olli> anyone who might help me with grub?
[23:17] <Delvien> scguy318 no such comman
[23:17] <Tonren> Shpook: Yep!
[23:17] <JW> did smb heard smth about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695
[23:17] <JW> ?
[23:17] <te_> olli; what's your grub problem?
[23:17] <scguy318> Delvien: what does which /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
[23:17] <JW> is it fixed in ubuntu 7.10?
[23:17] <pike_> nicolah: defrag is kinda automatic behind the scenes
[23:17] <scguy318> Delvien: what does that command say?
[23:18] <olli> the detection does not work probably
[23:18] <olli> the menu.lst is rubbish
[23:18] <Delvien> scguy318 no such file or dir

[23:19] <scguy318> Delvien: why are you trying to cd?
[23:19] <KnickLighter> Hi; I'm currently having problems with my VPN server. It allows me to connect and I can connect to the server itself inside the VPN, but it won't let me connect outside the box, as example google.com.. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Some config setting or firewall?
[23:19] <Delvien> scguy318: to see if there is even a dir
[23:19] <Shpook> Crap. Will I have a problem if I burn Gutsy to a dvd to install?
[23:19] <olli> well after selecting the right partition the system starts and i get these minimal console
[23:19] <scguy318> Shpook: no
[23:19] <olli> I forgot its name
[23:20] <scguy318> Delvien: okay, what release of Ubuntu are you using?
[23:20] <kane77> Shpook, not at all
[23:20] <Delvien> scguy318 server 7.10
[23:20] <Shpook> scguy318: Cool, thank you.
[23:20] <Shpook> Good, I used my last CD, and have like 150 dvd's left lol
[23:20] <scguy318> Delvien: ah, um
[23:20] <Delvien> scguy318: Im trying to suspend to test WOL since its not halting my system properly
[23:20] <te_> olli: Ok, looks like your booting the 2.6.22-14 kernel.  What's the problem?
[23:21] <olli> te_ the system doesnot get booted properly. when using grub I end up with an emergency console
[23:21] <keram> hello
[23:21] <ubuntu0264> i found a font i want to install can i just copy them to the font folder?
[23:21] <te_> olli: So, it is trying to boot to the wrong partition?
[23:21] <xc_legend> hell all
[23:21] <olli> te_ I forgot the console's name
[23:21] <keram> my ubuntu install has been working fine for a long time
[23:21] <scguy318> Delvien: you may want to install acpid
[23:21] <Shpook> Oh, one more question: Is it worth diving in and getting the 64-bit?
[23:21] <olli> te_ yes. but i changed that in menu.lst
[23:21] <keram> but i just rebooted and when it starts up it hangs when it is loading
[23:21] <keram> the progress bar gets stuck at the first little sliver
[23:22] <keram> then eventually i get a few messages: ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[23:22] <keram> i get that message repeadedly
[23:22] <te_> olli: What did you change?
[23:22] <keram> then it drops me to a busy box shell
[23:22] <scguy318> Shpook: sure, if you're willing to create a 32-bit chroot for 32-bit proprietary stuff like Flash
[23:23] <keram> with a prompt: (initramfs) _

[23:23] <ubuntu0264> how can i install fonts into ubuntu 7.10
[23:23] <Delvien> scguy318: they are installed
[23:23] <Dan8765_linux> i need help pls

[23:23] <keram> a few reboots ago it hung while loading and never got past the first sliver, but i forced a reboot and it worked fine, now its not booting at all
[23:23] <baddog_> if I try to boot without the Ubuntu disk plugged in, I get error 5
[23:24] <te_> olli: So it doesn't boot at all?
[23:24] <Dan8765_linux> my other computer now says grub error 17
[23:24] <te_> olli: Or...?
[23:24] <scguy318> Delvien: I've seen sudo echo -n S3 >/sys/power/state but not sure if that's what you would want
[23:24] <Shpook> scguy318: well, I've never done it, but I'm sure i could handle it. Should be easy to google, right?
[23:24] <Dan8765_linux> i have winxp and xubuntu
[23:24] <Dan8765_linux> dual boot
[23:24] <baddog_> sometimes it just randomly gives error 5 even when the disk is plugged in

[23:24] <scguy318> Shpook: yes
[23:24] <scguy318> Shpook: we have a guide to creating such a chroot at the Ubuntu Wiki

[23:28] <hello_> Hello :) I've got a question: Is there any good calendar program for Ubuntu?
[23:28] <te_> olli: you mean /sbin/init ?
[23:28] <Slasher`> hello_; click on the clock, it brings up a calendar
[23:29] <olli> te_ yes
[23:29] <olli> but it's there
[23:29] <te_> olli: Your menu.list looks ok.
[23:29] <SpeakerMania> I am in need of a little help. I just picked up a 108MBPS PCI Wireless Adapter, made by LevelOne. I popped it in and Ubuntu did recognize it and pick up restricted drivers for it, although when I enter my network name and key it does not connect. Is there a utility that will scan for available networks so I can see if the card works?
[23:29] <olli> te_ i can boot my system via lilo
[23:29] <te_> olli: Don't see anything wrong with menu.lst
[23:29] <hello_> Sladher`: I've done that and double clicked on a date, but it brings up "Evolution", but I use Thunderbird
[23:29] <scguy318> hello_: googling just calendar program shows Mozilla Sunbird, andgoogling Linux calendar program gives me
[23:29] <olli> te_ do you have any idea what might be the problem?
[23:30] <te_> olli: show me lilo.conf
[23:30] <scguy318> hello_: Remind
[23:30] <ASD7A> SpeakerMania: nm-applet
[23:30] <SpeakerMania> ASD7A, available via apt-get?
[23:30] <ubuntu0264> how do i add fonts that i have downloaded onto my pc into ubuntu 7.10
[23:30] <Slasher`> I am trying to setup apache and php on Ubuntu, however I have a problem. I managed to solve (I think) the problem of it not being able to phrase php files at all and asking me to download them, but now, instead of getting the php page I'm getting an error 500 "Internal Server Error". Any help would be greatly appreciated
[23:30] <scguy318> hello_: though probably ugly for your taste, since it uses Motif widgets
[23:30] <Slart> hello: isn't there a calendar in evolution?
[23:30] <te_> olli:  Are you only able to boot to single user mode? or what/
[23:30] <te_> ?
[23:30] <olli> te_ yes
[23:30] <Cereal> Ohhkay.. Firefox just froze. AGAIN. It happens almost every time I watch a streamed video. Does anyone know a workaround/fix?
[23:31] <jamescarr> wow... why has an apt-get install firefox triggered an installation of almost everything???
[23:31] <ASD7A> SpeakerMania: should be already installed
[23:31] <ASD7A> and in your notification area
[23:31] <te_> olli: So, you are only able to boot to single user mode?
[23:31] <jamescarr> er
[23:31] <hello_> Slart: I don't use Evolution, though. It doesn't have very good IMAP support; it doesn't maintain a real-time connectino to the server, whereas Thunderbird does. I just wish Thunderbird came with a Calendar itself :\
[23:31] <jamescarr> apt-get upgrade firefox
[23:31] <scguy318> hello_: searching my repos gives me kcalendar, orage, ccal, etc.
[23:31] <te_> olli: But when using lilo, you can boot the gui?
[23:31] <olli> te_ yes
[23:31] <olli> te_ http://paste.pocoo.org/show/17797/
[23:31] <hello_> scguy318: How do you search repos?
[23:32] <Slart> hello_: well.. then sunbird should be just your thing.. from the same people... integrates with thunderbird.. same look and feel
[23:32] <Cereal> Hello_: Start Synaptic :)
[23:32] <scguy318> hello_: apt-cache search keyword | more, or use Synaptic
[23:32] <SpeakerMania> ASD7A, that is what I'm using, but it doesn't allow me to scan for available wireless networks.
[23:32] <K_Dallas> Good evening guys! Would there be any reason why a wireless router (D-Link DIR=615 to be more precise) not work with Linux/Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[23:32] <Cereal> Firefox just froze. AGAIN. It happens almost every time I watch a streamed video. Does anyone know a workaround/fix?
[23:33] <anzan> Cereal, use Epiphany instead.
[23:33] <Cereal> Anzan: A browser? Does it crash o
[23:33] <scguy318> K_Dallas: might be your wireless card connecting to the router not working so well on Linux, unless you have more information?
[23:33] <Cereal> Anzan: When streaming video?
[23:33] <anzan> Cereal, or at least clear your cache frequently.
[23:33] <Cereal> Anzan: Okay, thanks :)
[23:33] <baddog_> does epiphany come default with 7.10?
[23:33] <te_> olli: Show me the output of: fdisk -l
[23:33] <anzan> Welcome, Cereal.
[23:34] <ASD7A> SpeakerMania: I haven't tried something else network related lately, sorry
[23:34] <K_Dallas> scguy318, no no no :) I have no problem, as a matter of fact I have not installed the router yet. I was just wondering if I could get into any problem or that there were things that I had to do beforehand.
[23:34] <K_Dallas> baddog_, if i am not mistaken, no
[23:34] <olli> te_ http://paste.pocoo.org/show/17799/
[23:34] <scguy318> K_Dallas: oh! to the best of my knowledge there should be no problems, just plug in and connect
[23:34] <jamescarr> going to the moon brb
[23:34] <K_Dallas> scguy318, excellent, thanks
[23:34] <anzan> baddog, no.
[23:34] <hello_> An unrelated question: Is there a way, through the terminal, to get programs but have them download as those .deb files that you can use later?
[23:35] <baddog_> is it worth getting?
[23:35] <scguy318> K_Dallas: come back and ask if you do have issues
[23:35] <anzan> baddog, I think so.
[23:35] <K_Dallas> scguy318, will certainly do, thank you
[23:35] <scguy318> K_Dallas: np
[23:35] <te_> olli: Ok, you have menu.lst trying to boot to hda5
[23:35] <porcho> hello there. I've configured GNOME to use 4 workspace (instead of the 2 workspace that comes by default). the problem is that when I try to set the keyboard shortcuts, I'm only able to configure shortcuts to change to the first 2 workspace (ie there's no option where I can read "change to workspace 3" or "change to workspace 4"). is there a way I can fix this?
[23:35] <anzan> baddog, it's basically a lean Firefox.
[23:35] <olli> oops
[23:35] <baddog_> kk
[23:35] <olli> te_ oops
[23:35] <K_Dallas> Q2: Is there some tools for iPods under Linux or should I switch to Windows each time I need to work with it?
[23:35] <Dan8765_linux> anyone know how to fix a grub erro17?
[23:35] <ketrox> hello_, yes there is read the man pages of apt-get
[23:36] <olli> so i have to write hd(0,7)  ?
[23:36] <butcherbird> K_Dallas: many options for linux
[23:36] <te_> olli: Change (hd0,6) to (hd0,7)
[23:36] <scguy318> K_Dallas: gtkpod, Rhythmbox, etc.
[23:36]  * K_Dallas doesn'T like iPods of any sort, it is just for my daughter
[23:36] <hello_> Is there any list of common/useful terminal commands that I ought to learn?
[23:36] <Slasher`> K_Dallas; amarok
[23:36] <te_> I think... just a sec..
[23:36] <Dan8765_linux> i installed a new hdd and partitioned it w/ partition magic
[23:36] <olli> te_ thank you very much. I would have never found that mistake!
[23:36] <butcherbird> K_Dallas: i use gtkpod but ive heard rhythmbox and others may be better
[23:36] <K_Dallas> excellent, thanks butcherbird scguy318
[23:36] <scguy318> hello_: cd, ls, cat, ps :P
[23:36] <scguy318> hello_: and some others
[23:36] <baddog_> different question, does anyone know how to fix GRUB error 5? Im in dual boot with Vista
[23:36] <jarlod> for ipods... floola, works well but closed source
[23:36] <ramza3> what are the best approaches for a simple file server.  Should I look at NFS or samba?
[23:36] <scguy318> hello_: you'd be best off looking for a Linux terminal guide
[23:37] <Dan8765_linux> rebooted now i got the error
[23:37] <scguy318> ramza3: Samba, if you want to talk to Windows machines
[23:37] <olli> te_ did you find a solution for your graphics card?
[23:37] <K_Dallas> jarlod, is it freely available or it is a paid tool
[23:37] <wintermute> are you supporting windows with your server?
[23:37] <ramza3> scguy318, no windows
[23:37] <olli> te_ i had the same
[23:37] <wintermute> NFS
[23:37] <olli> te_ i might be able to help you
[23:37] <ubuntu0264> what is a good rss reader for video downloading
[23:37] <scguy318> ramza3: NFS is probably a good idea, as wintermute said
[23:37] <te_> olli: Not yet...
[23:37] <jarlod> floola is free
[23:37] <te_> Haven't done anything yet.
[23:37] <K_Dallas> thank you jarlod
[23:37] <jarlod> np
[23:38] <jarlod> www.floola.com
[23:38] <K_Dallas> :)
[23:38] <olli> te_ you will need the nvidia driver
[23:38] <jarlod> I noticed it does cause a segfault if you have songs with dollar sign in the name ;)
[23:38] <bruenig> ubuntu0264, you mean like broadcatching?
[23:38] <te_> olli: Ok, I confirmen it.  All you need to do is change (hd0,6) to (hd0,7)
[23:39] <olli> te_ proprietary. in xubuntu you can install it via a special tool. but of course you can do it manually
[23:39] <te_> olli: Does Gutsy use easyubuntu?
[23:39] <porcho> hi there. where can I configure GNOME workspace numbers?
[23:39] <bruenig> te_, no
[23:39] <olli> te_ never heard about easyubuntu
[23:39] <Fredsky> I'm new to ubuntu and have lost most of the icons from my applications, what did I do wrong??
[23:40] <baddog_> porcho:How do you mean?
[23:40] <scguy318> te_: no, EasyUbuntu is a third-party thing, not supported obviously
[23:40] <te_> olli: bruenig Ok, what next?
[23:40] <bruenig> easy ubuntu is a useless script
[23:40] <olli> te_ do you have the kernel headers on your machine? you will need them
[23:41] <te_> I have  NV18 GeForce4 MX 4000
[23:41] <te_> olli: No...
[23:41] <te_> Guess I need to do that first

[23:41] <LAFiN> I'm having some issues installing Ubuntu. I downloaded 7.10 last night and have it booting on my machine. And then I get to it looks like the 5th step and I have this error message:
[23:41] <jeff__> so... I have a webcam built into this laptop... how do i go about using that in linux?
[23:41] <olli> te_ this is the driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.01.html
[23:41] <scguy318> jeff__: hopefully the pwc module should detect it properly, then you would just use it with webcam software
[23:42] <olli> te_ in order to install it you will need the kernel headers
[23:42] <ompaul> nalioth, ^^ uncletomm
[23:42] <jeff__> scguy318 what software is there?
[23:42] <LAFiN> The Display server has been shut down about six times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display. :O
[23:42] <scguy318> jeff___: Camorama lets you view and upload to FTP server webcam images
[23:42] <porcho> baddog_: by default, GNOME offers 2 workspace. I want to use 4 workspaces instead, as I do in fluxbox. is there a way to do so?
[23:42] <alexbobp> I added a wireless driver with ndiswrapper.  ndisgtk agrees that the driver is installed and hardware is present.  ifconfig and the kubuntu network configurator don't think I have wireless hardware, even though ifconfig -a shows a wlan0.  Is there a step I'm missing?
[23:43] <scguy318> jeff___: Ekiga (teleconferencing software) lets you use your webcam, Kopete and GYachi let you use your webcam in IM stuff, etc.
[23:43] <te_> uname -a says:   2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP  So, need to install:  linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic ?
[23:43] <scguy318> alexbobp: you need to modprobe ndiswrapper
[23:43] <jimmygoon> Anyone have any thoughts on linux software to read out of my serial device... ?
[23:43] <scguy318> alexbobp: and blacklist any alternate modules that would prevent ndiswrapper from working
[23:43] <te_> olli: Is that correct?
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> porcho: turn off effects and ad some more
[23:43] <olli> te_ yes
[23:43] <jeff__> scguy318 thanks man... I just need to test one out to see if its a go
[23:43] <scguy318> alexbobp: if you want ndiswrapper to load on startup, you need to add ndiswrapper to your /etc/modules
[23:44] <alexbobp> scguy318: the modprobe didn't work.  what modules conflict with ndiswrapper?
[23:44] <olli> te_ in order to install the driver I recommend you to go to init 1
[23:44] <scguy318> alexbobp: it would show as alternate drivers or something when you do ndiswrapper -l
[23:44] <te_> olli: It says:  "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic is already the newest version."
[23:44] <porcho> Jack_Sparrow: and how can I add more workspaces?
[23:44] <alexbobp> ah, prism2_usb.  How do I disable it?
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> porcho: Do you have effects on?
[23:45] <olli> te_ ok then try to install the driver
[23:45] <ivanhoe> hola
[23:45] <ivanhoe> perdon por la ignorancia soy algo novato
[23:45] <alexbobp> scguy318: how do I disable prism2_usb?
[23:45] <torrent3> Hi, can someone help me install the udf 2.5 filesystem patch for Gutsy?
[23:45] <ubuntu0264> how can i add fonts to ubuntu 7.10
[23:45] <ivanhoe> sorry
[23:45] <ivanhoe> i go to spanish

[23:46] <scguy318> alexbobp: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[23:46] <te_> I have  NV18 GeForce4 MX 4000, so I should install
[23:46] <scguy318> alexbobp: then add blacklist prism2_usb on a new line at the bottom, then save
[23:46] <scguy318> alexbobp: then sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper, then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[23:46] <te_> olli:  install nvidia-glx-new ?
[23:46] <jacob> i'm using rythmbox music player and i can see other people's limewire files. why is this possible?
[23:46] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone ran into any problems running programs in wine when the programs might need root permissions
[23:46] <jamescarr> is there a package I can install that makes the gnome application menu look more appealing?
[23:46] <scguy318> alexbobp: then gksudo gedit /etc/modules, add ndiswrapper to a new line at the bottom, save
[23:47] <scguy318> alexbobp: if net connectivity still does not work, reboot
[23:47] <Jack_Sparrow> KiD_ChAoS: BAd idea to give a program under wine root permissions
[23:47] <olli> te_ i was unsure bout that but i think the 4000series is "legacy"
[23:47] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, i am getting socket errors on using one of my programs and i was wondering if it was a permissions issue
[23:48] <jacob> i'm using rhythymbox music player and i can see other people's limewire files. how is this possible?
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> KiD_ChAoS: I wont give real windows access to the internet much less anything in wine.. so I really dont know
[23:48] <olli> te_ you should be fine with the driver link i gave you
[23:48] <jeff__> scguy318 I guess my camera is not installed.
[23:48] <alexbobp> scguy318: thanks, unloading and reloading it worked.  I didn't even have to reboot.
[23:48] <alexbobp> scguy318++
[23:49] <jeff__> scguy318 sort of a shame.
[23:49] <olli> te_ otherwise you might try that one http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html
[23:49] <scguy318> jeff___: in my experience, Gutsy's pwc module seems to have issues, I would look around or try a Feisty LiveCD
[23:49] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, ok. i have gotten several remote administrator programs to fine in wine so i was giving Cisco SNMP tools a try
[23:50] <kdubois> what package has the css support for playing back dvds? VLC is reporting that it cannot unencrypt the sisk
[23:50] <scguy318> KiD_ChAoS: aren't there native SNMP apps?
[23:50] <olli> te_ does it work?
[23:50] <scguy318> !dvd | kdubois
[23:50] <ubotu> kdubois: 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
[23:50] <scguy318> kdubois: libdvdcss2 is what you want
[23:50] <KiD_ChAoS> scguy318, this is a neat graphical one that i like. do you know of another robust tool with a gui that runs well with ubuntu
[23:50] <kdubois> scguy318: thanks, i just forgot the name of it, and i'm pretty sure my restricted repo is disabled, so apt-cache wasnt being helpful
[23:50] <sakuramboo> i rebuilt amarok with libgpod-0.6.0 and it still cant write the songs to the ipod so the ipod can see them
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> KiD_ChAoS: HAve you setup a user in ubuntu with only access to wine and nothing else?
[23:51] <jamescarr> yes.. the default gnome LAF is SOOOOO boring
[23:51] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, no but that is an idea
[23:51] <jamescarr> is there something I can do to remedy it?
[23:51] <demonspork> whenever I select my Ubuntu Gutsy from the GRUB menu it goes to a screen saying that it 'cannot mount the selected partition.'  I have run fsck on the partition and it found no errors. What can I do?
[23:51] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, how might i do that?
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> KiD_ChAoS: You really need to see the people in #Winehq ....
[23:52] <te_> olli: So I need nvidia-glx-legacy ?
[23:52] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, is that channel on this net?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[23:52] <KiD_ChAoS> Jack_Sparrow, cool thanks for the help
[23:52] <olli> i checked that again. you should try the second link i gave you
[23:53] <olli> te_ the 4000 is not in the list of legacy cards on nvidias site
[23:53] <butcherbird> demonspork: is it the right partition? hit esc for menu at boot then e to edit things
[23:53] <olli> te_ so you should use the second link (for the new driver) I gave you
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> olli: sure that card isnt a 400 and not a 4000
[23:53] <crazyman> hello
[23:54] <te_> olli: what link.  Could you send again?
[23:54] <crazyman> i am getting errors when I try to burn something
[23:54] <olli> te_ http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html
