[00:00] <ryanov> Hopefully that has changed since then.
[00:00] <ryanov> Tallen: Someone said that earlier.
[00:00] <david__> i can't  make gutsy work like fiesty this really dissapointed me :(
[00:00] <whtet> .
[00:00] <hatter> well, tvtime is not working now, it worked before installing zoneminder
[00:00] <Vovik_> Installed ubuntu, loaded - Monitor says "not supported". in recovery mode - boots, issued permits and frequency - is not helpful. Video Card - GeForce 5200
[00:00] <ryanov> Tallen: http://osdir.com/ml/admin.managers/2005-07/msg00005.html
[00:01] <ryanov> Tallen: Discussion of what's different.
[00:01] <theLichKing> why do they say guys, fiesty, dapper in the tutorials.. isn't it just easier to track versions by numbers like 6.10, 7.10
[00:01] <simmer1> disable the cdrom sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:01] <simmer1> doh, that was ages ago!
[00:01] <alemones> rodolfo: I did a reconfigure xserver xorg as it lost the resolution options....
[00:02] <lukasz> I followed it and still says render is mesa wols?
[00:02]  * Tallen is installing linux-image-server
[00:02] <ryanov> Looks like the easy way to go.
[00:02] <Shpook> jepes_: I'm really sorry, my brother called long distance and I had to take it. Let me take a look now.
[00:02] <ryanov> At least you'll know whether it makes a difference.
[00:02] <rodolfo> alemones, let me guess you've changed your xorg and didnt make a backup file
[00:02] <kspear> hi
[00:02] <xororand> hi. does someone have an up-to-date vim .deb with python support but _without_ the gtk gui?
[00:03] <ryanov> Tallen: I'm out, but good luck.
[00:03] <lukasz> !pastbin
[00:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:03] <Tallen> ryanov: thanks.
[00:03] <lukasz> !pstbin
[00:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pstbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:03] <kspear> i have a question about sata pci cards... anyone have any experience using them with ubuntu?

[00:04] <sint> wols: rcconf works, but it doesn't shows every daemon which is starting at boot time. for me its not showing ssh
[00:04] <barata> hi all .. happy holiday!!

[00:04] <alecwh> When I'm in the Vitrual Terminal, the fonts are very big. Is it possible to size-down the font size?
[00:04] <rodolfo> alemones, have you set a 1280x800 res on section screen -> <your graphics controller> -> subsection display?
[00:05] <Shpook> jepes_: Try changing the line "Option         "Protocol" "ImPS/2"  to this:  "Option         "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
[00:05] <Vovik_> barata, for linux ?
[00:06] <Dmitry_> could someone provide an address for a guide that covers the installation of a wired router?
[00:06] <Shpook> jepes_: then restart X
[00:06] <alemones> rodolfo: yes, I did that
[00:07] <lukasz> hmm
[00:07] <whtet> i am trying to ssh to my own box over rsa1 authentication, i have enabled "RSAAuthentication yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config also. when i try to connect it, the error said that my box is not providing SSH protocol version 1, i have restarted my sshd as well
[00:07] <hatter> now i have this :  zmfix[9399]: ERR [Can't chmod /dev/video1 to 20666: Operation not permitted]
[00:07] <mete> Hi
[00:08] <KlrSpz> Gnea: you around?
[00:08] <jepes_> shpook: okay i'll try it.
[00:08] <mete> I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103
[00:08] <juan> can someone help me with my display?
[00:08] <KlrSpz> anyone familiar with IP MASQUERADING? It seems to be set up correctly in the iptables FORWARD chain, but i'm not getting any actual forwarding
[00:09] <juan> basically getting one large desktop on both mons
[00:09] <Avt> I need to add terminal to the grub boot menu how??????????????
[00:09] <juan> is it possible to assign a workspace to each? or split them so that when i maximize windows, it goes to that monitor and not span both
[00:09] <sint> Avt: terminal?
[00:09] <Vovik_> Avt, i don't understand you
[00:09] <Avt> terminal the thing you type in
[00:09] <osfameron> to stop synaptics touchpad *ever* generating middle clicks, should it be enough to set "Emulate3Buttons" to "false" ?
[00:10] <sint> Avt: grub comes with some kind of pseudo terminal
[00:10] <osfameron> I'm really tired of accidentally pasting crap in irc :-)
[00:10] <juan> i've disabled Xinerama
[00:10] <rodolfo> alemones, hold on, googling for it
[00:10] <juan> and it still does the same thing
[00:10] <Avt> I cant reset root passwd
[00:10] <Likuid_Silence> why are ppl using linux and dont even know what a terminal is
[00:10] <ompaul> Avt, you can't really do that - what is it you want to achive with this terminal? we may have what you want a different way
[00:10] <ompaul> !root | Avt
[00:10] <ubotu> Avt: 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
[00:10] <alemones> rodolfo: thanks!
[00:10] <ompaul> Avt, did you set a root password?
[00:10] <Avt> yes I did
[00:10] <Avt> want tio chanbge
[00:11] <nickrud> osfameron, no, add Option "TouchpadOff" "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the synaptics section
[00:12] <osfameron> nickrud: I would have thought that would also disable the Touchpad entirely?  What's the actual effect of that line?
[00:12] <KlrSpz> you have to specify the device properly or it'll default again in the other device layout
[00:12] <nickrud> oh, just the tapping? misread.   set it to 2
[00:12] <nickrud> osfameron, 0 is on, 1 is off, 2 is tap disabled
[00:13] <osfameron> nickrud, KlrSpz: oh I see, the number setting means something
[00:13] <osfameron> where are all the xorg.conf options documented?
[00:13] <osfameron> I don't think I want to disable tapping
[00:13] <osfameron> I just want to disable middle clicking
[00:13] <jepes> shpook: didnt work, thanks anyway, i have to go to work now. i'll try again later.
[00:13] <osfameron> sometimes I get whatever's currently selected pasted (usually into irc)
[00:14] <osfameron> and that's embarrassing.  Given that I have no use for middle-mouse button, I might as well disable it
[00:14] <KlrSpz> you want to disable the middle button, or the clipboard effect
[00:14] <KlrSpz> ah
[00:14] <g2g591> osfameron: man xorg.conf
[00:14] <nickrud> osfameron, man synaptics has it all. You might try Option "SHMConfig" "On"  , and install gsynaptics, it's a gui frontend to configuring the touchpad
[00:14] <ompaul> Avt, so do this as your ordinary user;      sudo passwd -l root
[00:14] <Shpook> jepes: when you get back, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[00:14] <Shpook> Bla, he left already
[00:14] <ompaul> Avt, reboot after that and enjoy
[00:14] <osfameron> I don't *have* a middle mouse button.  I've installed gsynaptics, and prevented touching with 2 fingers invoking middle click
[00:14] <KlrSpz> remapt he buttons with the OPtion "ButtomMapping" section
[00:15] <ewook> generic question - how many virtual interfaces can one add ?
[00:15] <g2g591> osfameron: "man xorg.conf"
[00:15] <Avt> sudo passwd -l root reboot then what?
[00:15] <KlrSpz> 1 <some wildass number> 3 4 5 6 ...
[00:15] <Shpook> ewook: do you mean desktops?
[00:15] <osfameron> KlrSpz, nickrud, g2g591: ta, I'll man xorg.conf and synaptics
[00:15] <ompaul> Avt, no
[00:15] <Avt> I need root to change stuff
[00:15] <ompaul> Avt,   sudo passwd -l root
[00:15] <KlrSpz> anyone familiar with IP MASQUERADING? It seems to be set up correctly in the iptables FORWARD chain, but i'm not getting any actual forwarding happening
[00:15] <ompaul> Avt,  reboot - then you don't have a root password it is all back to normal
[00:15] <ewook> Shpook: no, eth-interfaces
[00:16] <Avt> ompaul I want a root password lol
[00:16] <nickrud> osfameron, there's lots of options, have at it. I ended up just training my fingers :)
[00:16] <hatter> KlrSpz, dont know your circumstances but i use shorewall to make iptables easy
[00:16] <Avt> just want to change it
[00:16] <Delvien> Having problems copying a file to an external HDD. its 5.6gig file. and it keeps telling me that the file limit has exceeded.. is there anyway to move big files?
[00:16] <KlrSpz> hatter: trying to masquerade eth0 to forward through wlan0
[00:16] <KlrSpz> will shorewall do that?
[00:16] <nickrud> Avt, sudo -i will give you all the rootness you need. you can do anything (hint) there
[00:17] <mete> I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103
[00:17] <ompaul> KlrSpz, there is this>>>       sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[00:17] <Shpook> ewook: oh....beyond me...sorry lol
[00:17] <hatter> KlrSpz, yes, shorewall does everything,  a bit of reading though, there is some understanding required
[00:17] <rodolfo> alemones, is your driver recognized by the kernel? is it been using or just emulated?
[00:17] <KlrSpz> ompaul: yeah i have that
[00:17] <ompaul> Avt, then you can't have your cake and eat it, you can't get there from here
[00:17] <osfameron> nickrud: so I see :-(  I try to be careful, but spamming irc channels when I just wanted to move the mouse is really annoying...
[00:17] <hatter> KlrSpz, yes, u
[00:17] <KlrSpz> ompaul: and have verified that it IS set to 1
[00:17] <Avt> what
[00:17] <hatter> ip forwarding needs to be enabled first
[00:17] <Avt> thats lame
[00:17] <KlrSpz> have that though
[00:18] <Avt> ok so what I do after its gone
[00:18] <Avt> to make new one
[00:18] <ompaul> !rootsudo | Avt
[00:18] <ubotu> Avt: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[00:18] <KlrSpz> Avt: dude, what don't you get.. you DON'T USE ROOT
[00:18] <Delvien> !tar
[00:18] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[00:18] <rodolfo> alemones, do me a favor, go to system>administration>screens and graphics and click on 'video card' tab
[00:18] <KlrSpz> it's only been said 1000000 times to you, do you understand english?
[00:18] <Avt> no
[00:18] <KlrSpz> aparently not
[00:18] <ompaul> Avt, if you insist on asking how to use root I will be remove
[00:18] <ompaul> d
[00:18] <osfameron> hmmm.  I *had* installed gsynaptics, but it appears to have disappeared
[00:19] <sint> how to remove ssh from starting at boot time?? rcconf doesn't shot ssh and update-rd.d just don't do nothing
[00:19] <ompaul> Avt,  no you will be actually removed - minor typo there
[00:19] <Avt> im confused is all
[00:19] <sint> is there a config file anywhere?
[00:19] <Avt> k nevermind I wikll reinstall
[00:19]  * nickrud thinks that's not a minor typo ;-p
[00:19] <ompaul> Avt, you read that page and be enlightened
[00:19] <Shpook> Does anyone know how to restore the original Ubuntu sound server and fully remove PulseAudio? When I try to run Pidgin, I get these errors and a segfault: http://pastebin.org/13261
[00:19] <KlrSpz> sint, sudo  update-rc.d sshd remove
[00:19] <Huffameg> hi! can someone please help me!? after upgrading 7.04->7.10 I have lost the icons for the different tools in OpenOffice. how do I restore them??
[00:20] <sint> KlrSpz: hm ...
[00:20] <hatter> sint, you can change /etc/init.d/ssh to /etc/init.d/ssh.off then update-rc.d ssh remove
[00:20] <KlrSpz> hatter, i'd really like to NOT use shorewall if i can get away with it, it seems like a pretty simple task.. dunno why i can't get it to work
[00:20] <sint> KlrSpz: i don't get the super user thing in ubuntu ..
[00:20] <osfameron> ah!  top-right corner generates middle click, bottom-right generates right click
[00:20] <osfameron> wtf would I want that?
[00:20] <lukasz> i will reboot and see
[00:20] <hatter> KlrSpz, keep asking then, someone will know, i am lazy and have learnt shorewall instead of iptables
[00:20] <sint> i am root and i thought it work, but i have to type sudo when i am root?? strange ...
[00:21] <harish> su root
[00:21] <KlrSpz> no, but you shouldn't be root according to ubuntu's standards
[00:21] <KlrSpz> if you ARE root, then run without sudo
[00:21] <hatter> sint, you can add a root password and not use the sudo thing
[00:21] <ompaul> !rootsudo | sint (you should actually be able to work with this   --- no you don't have to use sudo if you are root but you are not right to be using root see your question for proof)
[00:21] <ubotu> sint (you should actually be able to work with this   --- no you don't have to use sudo if you are root but you are not right to be using root see your question for proof): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[00:22] <t3hwiz0rd> how can i find out where a usb device mounted to if its a cellphone?
[00:22] <alemones> rodolfo: got it, it's the intel experimental driver blabla
[00:22] <nettow0822> anyone here used a palm pilot over you wireless network?
[00:22] <t3hwiz0rd> i tried to tail /var/log/messages, but it doesn't show where it mounted.
[00:22] <sint> i know about sudo ... but i'm used to use root account when doing more then one administrative thing. this prevents me from typing sudo all the time
[00:22] <harish> type mount
[00:22] <harish> sint, type su root
[00:22] <KlrSpz> sint: if i'm doing a lot of admin/root work, yeah i'll "sudo su"
[00:22] <t3hwiz0rd> it doesn't how it but lsusb does
[00:22] <sint> KlrSpz: ya, thats what i've done
[00:22] <g2g591> sint:sudo -i = root without setting root password
[00:23] <t3hwiz0rd> its a cellphone
[00:23] <ompaul> sint, Avt by the way this channel does not support you using root - this command restores normal service>>>  sudo passwd -l root
[00:23] <sint> KlrSpz: but update-rc.d don't work then
[00:23] <KlrSpz> then no worries.. some people get really bent out of shape htough if you run as root
[00:23] <t3hwiz0rd> not a harddrive, so iunn if mount will show it.
[00:23] <ompaul> !supportroot | g2g591
[00:23] <ubotu> g2g591: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[00:23] <KlrSpz> sint, odd works here.. you sur eit's still in your run level?
[00:23] <astro76> sint, there's sudo -i if you really need a root shell
[00:23] <sint> KlrSpz: ya it was. since its running
[00:23] <ompaul> g2g591, a bit harsh but you get the drift :)
[00:24] <KlrSpz> was though, it won't stop just by running that
[00:24] <hatter> i gave root a password and stopped using sudo
[00:24] <osfameron> rock!  $ synclient RTCornerButton=0   # and my problems are solved!  Well, that one at least
[00:24] <sint> astro76: hm, "sudo -i" seem like the same as "sudo su"
[00:24] <g2g591> ompaul: i didnt say i did, i said "sudo -i" gives you root without setting a root password, sheesh
[00:24] <ompaul> g2g591, ergo the bit harsh comment
[00:25] <Anubyss>  Hi I can't seem to get my Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic card working. I do a lspci -v and I see my card ,but no sound comes out. Do I need a driver? and is there one for my card, because I went to the compatibilty driver site and I didn't see one.
[00:25] <astro76> sint, essentially, seems like a cleaner way to do it though
[00:25] <KlrSpz> bbias, trying something stupid with iptables :D
[00:25] <__mikem> Anubyss, and you are not going to get that card to work, Creative Labs doesn't support linux for their newer cards
[00:25] <dolphin_noel> someone knows some good language document translactor software to linux that it is not the altavista or google translactor website
[00:25] <hatter> creative labs have been bought by ms ?
[00:25] <ompaul> sint, has to do with what shell values you keep - i.e. behaves like a real login shell which can be useful
[00:26] <KlrSpz> sint, actually "sudo su -" would be like "sudo -i" for the interactive login scripts to execute
[00:26] <__mikem> hatter, no they sympathize with ms though
[00:26] <KlrSpz> otherwise you're just changing users
[00:26] <ompaul> hatter, interesting but offtopic
[00:26] <KlrSpz> ie, you don't execute the profile for root without the - or -i
[00:26] <hatter> np
[00:26] <__mikem> Anubyss: I suggest you refrain from doing business with creative labs in the future unless they adopt a less hostile stance on linux and open source
[00:26] <Anubyss> _mikem so there isn't a way? not even with a generic driver? do I get to install another card and if so which one would you recommend
[00:27] <sint> KlrSpz: ok, good to know. but this thing about update-rc.d is to crazy for me. i've tested it on another box running ubuntu and have the same issue
[00:27] <jvai> hey ppls
[00:27] <sint> its still not working in root without sudo
[00:27] <__mikem> Anubyss, creative labs doesn't even release the specs on their cards until they are no longer supported, so until then there is no legal way to write generic drivers for it
[00:27] <rodolfo> alemones: still looking for a solution; you may consider to reconfigure xorg: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:28] <sint> anyway
[00:28] <KlrSpz> sint: 1 sec lemme test it to make sure that's right
[00:28] <Huffameg> how do i stop my computer from making system sounds - for instance it beeps if i press bacspace without any characters to erase..
[00:28] <Anubyss> _mikem I agree, however I bought this Dell XPS high end gaming machine and it came with XP, and I just installed ubunto in dual boot and the sound is the only thing I can't get to work
[00:28] <hatter> any of you use ubuntu server ?  i found the realtek drivers have issues, which i guess is kernel related not ubuntu related
[00:28] <Huffameg> ?
[00:28] <alemones> rodolfo: thanks a lot, gotto sleep so will continue tomorrow!! thx!
[00:28] <sint> KlrSpz: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sshd exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
[00:28] <rodolfo> alemones, np
[00:28] <sint> this is what i always get
[00:29] <nickrud> rodolfo, so what did you do to clear the file not found error? Inquiring people (ok, maybe just one) want to know
[00:29] <__mikem> ompaul, how about an ubotu factoid explaining to people why their soundblaster won't work and listing a few other companies who are happy to release linux drivers for their card along with suggesting not buying any more crap from creative labs?
[00:29] <__mikem> ompaul, because I am tired of typing out this speach over and over again
[00:30]  * LimCore found another bug in ubuntu
[00:30] <Onyx> LimCore: What is it?
[00:30] <Anubyss> _mikem actually they have a driver ,but its beta and only for a 64 bit linux
[00:30] <magic_ninja> man setting up these menus is a ton of work on icewm
[00:30] <__mikem> Anubyss: YOUR KIDDING, link please?
[00:30] <Anubyss> yes on moment
[00:31] <KlrSpz> sint: dude sorry, 1 sec, i got like 10 things going on
[00:31] <sint> KlrSpz: no problem
[00:31] <ompaul> __mikem, I'll consult someone who knows more about that kind of thing and come up with something
[00:31] <KlrSpz> sint:
[00:31] <KlrSpz> tvbox@tvbox:/tmp$ sudo update-rc.d sshd remove
[00:31] <KlrSpz>  Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/sshd ...
[00:31] <__mikem> !paste

[00:31] <rodolfo> nickrud, i did? i told you its working perfectly, at least it seems to, once i still didnt get any problem just like disappearing window layouts nor any conflict
[00:31] <hatter> anyone have any clue why tvtime would stream fine but zoneminder shows rubbish is if using a different module ?
[00:32] <sint> KlrSpz: strange
[00:32] <KlrSpz> yeah, really strange?
[00:32] <sint> KlrSpz: i also discovered. its maybe not a got thing to play with rcconf and update-rc.d in the same time
[00:33] <KlrSpz> sint: try ls -la /etc/rc2.d/*ssh*
[00:33] <KlrSpz> if that doesn't come back with anything then ssh is no longer set up to run at boot
[00:33] <KlrSpz> but the only thing i can think of is if something is depending on ssh to be started
[00:33] <sint> is comes up with this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2007-11-07 12:49 /etc/rc2.d/S16ssh -> ../init.d/ssh
[00:33] <chickenFuego> Hi there. How can I dump and see what is going through my bluetooth? (using bluez, linux on a laptop and a lego NXT robot)
[00:33] <KlrSpz> oh ok, i typed it up wrong it's ssh, not sshd, and yeah i get that too.. hmm
[00:34] <__mikem> chickenFuego: what is Chicken Fire?
[00:34] <vv> hi people
[00:34] <Anubyss> _mikem, here's the link: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=209&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=&nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Linux&region=1&Product_Name=Sound+Blaster+X-Fi+XtremeMusic&Product_ID=14066&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=12&drivertype=0&x=23&y=16
[00:34] <Anubyss> but its only for 64 bit
[00:34] <sint> KlrSpz: but its just "ssh" on ubuntu
[00:34] <nickrud> rodolfo, yes you mentioned the compizconfig working, but the error about the missing file in apt-get ? Downloading the deb and dropping it into the archive fixed that?
[00:34] <sint> there is no sshd
[00:34] <rodolfo> nickrud, not to mention that i had to remove the current version (the one that came with ubuntu) and install that other one found here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:35] <__mikem> Anubyss, perhaps creative labs is beginning to clean up their act finally.
[00:35] <mpeters> blaaah i can't find anything on this sound issue. i can't be the only one
[00:35] <nickrud> rodolfo, hmm...
[00:35] <sint> in /etc/init.d/ is only a ssh not a sshd
[00:35] <danbhtwo> hello, im runing xubuntu, and udevd is eating up most of my cpu, please help
[00:35] <Anubyss> not really because it won't help me, I have 32 bit OS
[00:35] <vv> htop
[00:35] <nickrud> sint, yes that's the one you want to remove
[00:35] <sint> anyway ... i need some sleep and i will check back for this tomorrow.
[00:35] <sint> thanks to all :)
[00:36] <nickrud> vv, wrong terminal?
[00:36] <__mikem> Anubyss, well, can't really help you there. You might try finding an older sound card you might have lieing around and installing it.
[00:36] <hwilde> sint, it is called openssh-server
[00:36] <vv> ???
[00:36] <hwilde> sint, and it is sshd
[00:36] <nickrud> vv, you just wrote htop
[00:36] <Anubyss> _mikem, anyway I can upgrade to 64 bit ubunto and preserve my current configuration, and if so its it worth it
[00:36] <hwilde> KlrSpz, openssh-server
[00:36] <vv> htop or top
[00:36] <rodolfo> nickrud, as far as you know, compizconfig was called but nothing happened...removing it and installing this deb file (seemed to)get the problem solved
[00:36] <vv> services list
[00:36] <hwilde> Anubis, do u have a 64bit processor?
[00:36] <chickenFuego> __mikem, I have a problem with a java api driving a robot through bluetooth.. A missing byte in the bluetooth messages.. So I need to see what is going through blutooth. With rfcomm, it would be a cat on /dev/rfcomm0 or so, but how is it with bluez?
[00:37] <__mikem> Anubyss: I'd do a backup first though.
[00:37] <nickrud> rodolfo, ok, thanks. One more potential fix for an obscure problem :)
[00:37] <rodolfo> nickrud, so far nothing weird happened nor conflicts...
[00:37] <Eleaf> Does anybody use gedit for web development?  I'm trying to find a way to use a plugin for css validation.
[00:37] <hwilde> chickenFuego, what robot ?
[00:37] <danbhtwo> should I file a bug report about udevd using so much resources?
[00:37] <niuq> ive installed ubuntu 7.10 in a toshiba laptop
[00:37] <Eleaf> I have html validation working well with tidy in gedit
[00:37] <__mikem> Eleaf, try geany
[00:37] <niuq> and i have a weird issue with the windows
[00:37] <LimCore> ubuntu fails to use gnome at all, wow.
[00:38] <Anubyss> _mikem, what would you recommend to use as backup, I don't want to loose my configuration because I have Compiz among other things working great
[00:38] <rodolfo> nickrud, what about that guy's one?
[00:38] <Eleaf> __mikem, I was just getting gedit looking great
[00:38] <niuq> the upside bar it's appearing to big, actually enormous, i don't have any idea how to resize that bar, any help welcome
[00:38] <chickenFuego> hwilde, it is a lego mindstorms NXT. but my question applies to any data stream going through bluetooth/bluez. How do I see it?
[00:38] <nickrud> rodolfo, which guy's one what?
[00:38] <__mikem> Anubyss: just create an archive of your home dirrectory, and save it to some mass storage device
[00:38] <rodolfo> nickrud, he had to set his res each time the system was initialized. do you know how he could have get it fixed? (alemones)
[00:39] <hwilde> chickenFuego, dmesg will tell you where it is
[00:39] <LimCore> gnome wm fails to start up (crash) under which package report it on lunchpad
[00:39] <Huffameg> no one who can help me with the icons in OpenOffice? they're all gone and i can't understand how to restore them..
[00:39] <Anubyss> _mikem, ok thanks
[00:39] <resi> hello
[00:39] <chickenFuego> hwilde, thx, I am trying it.
[00:39] <resi> failed to initialize HAL problem
[00:39] <__mikem> Anubyss, you have a 64 bit computer right?
[00:39] <KlrSpz> anyone familiar with IP MASQUERADING? It seems to be set up correctly in the iptables FORWARD chain, but i'm not getting any actual forwarding happening
[00:39] <resi> is there any progress?
[00:39] <nickrud> rodolfo, oh, missed that one. I hear that nvidia off the nvidia site sometimes has that problem. I don't have nvidia so don't remember the fix off the top of my head.
[00:39] <shadowhywind> hay all i just did a fresh install of kubuntu and tried to install firefox, but all that is showing up is 1.5pre is there anyway to update that?
[00:40] <rodolfo> nickrud, this is about an intel video card. i know because i asked him about that
[00:40] <Anubyss> yes, but I was sure if I'll be able to get all the software and drivers for this machine. this PC is relative new, got it a year ago its a Dell XPS 600 tower
[00:41] <nickrud> Huffameg, try changing the icon theme
[00:41] <resi> is there any progress?
[00:41] <hwilde> Huffameg, apt-get reinstall openoffice
[00:41] <chickenFuego> hwilde, here is my dmesg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49917/
[00:41] <__mikem> Anubyss: just making sure
[00:41] <ompaul> KlrSpz, have a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall-configuration.html
[00:41] <chickenFuego> doesn't say much :-/
[00:41] <|juan|> I don't understand why my monitors are spanning as one desktop with xinerama turned off... and why, despite the xorg showing the nvidia driver, that the nvidia-settings shows an error saying i don't have the nvidia driver enabled
[00:41] <nickrud> Huffameg, and install openoffice.org-style-default and openoffice.org-style-crystal
[00:42] <Jan`> hihi
[00:42] <magic_ninja> !idesk
[00:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about idesk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:42] <magic_ninja> what are some idesk alternatives
[00:42] <cbx33> anyone around for a quick iptables help???
[00:42] <Jan`> Question: do current versions of Ubuntu have inbuilt support for at least reading Mac-formatted HFS+ disks?
[00:42] <nickrud> rodolfo, then I have zero clue. It's hard enough just trying to keep up with all of ati's issues
[00:42] <niuq> how could i change the size of the upside bar of every window??
[00:42] <proqesi> Anubyss: sometimes being new means lesser support because developers have to havetime to create drivers
[00:42] <KlrSpz> ompaul: yeah, i've done esentially that
[00:43] <mpeters> found the fix
[00:43] <chickenFuego> hwilde, and the messages where 3 hours ago, but I was using the device in-between (and working, only with a particular bug)
[00:43] <hatter> if i plug a usb camera in and it is recognised, where should i find it ?
[00:43] <rodolfo> nickrud...intel
[00:43] <KlrSpz> ompaul: and it looks right when i list the iptables, but it's not freakin working
[00:43] <Huffameg> nickrud: i have tried to change the icon theme in ubuntu without any luck. how do i install those?
[00:43] <cbx33> iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface ath0 -j ACCEPT
[00:43] <cbx33> iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT
[00:43] <cbx33> iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[00:43] <Anubyss> proqesi, yes I agree, thank you
[00:43] <cbx33> i have some rules like that
[00:43] <ompaul> !paste
[00:43] <Huffameg> hwilde: it says unvalid operation
[00:43] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[00:43] <nickrud> niuq, only by changing the window border under system->prefs->appearance, themes tab customize buttton
[00:43] <cbx33> now say i only want to allow 2 mac addresses to use ath0
[00:43] <Jan`> ....I'll take that as a "no".
[00:43] <cbx33> how do i do that?
[00:44] <rodolfo> nickrud...well whatever i am still looking for some solution. telling him to (re)configure xorg is a waste of time
[00:44] <astro76> Jan`, yes
[00:44] <neko> rodolfo
[00:44] <neko> whats the actual problem?
[00:44] <rodolfo> neko: ?
[00:44] <neko> <<-- knows xorg pretyt good
[00:44] <hwilde> Huffameg, figure out how to reinstall it with apt-get
[00:44] <neko> *pretty
[00:44] <nickrud> Huffameg, install those icon packages, for some reason you're missing them
[00:44] <Jan`> neko: Problem is I have a Mac formatted firewire disk which contains files I need on a Windows computer.
[00:45] <hwilde> chickenFuego, I don't think it is creating an i/o device for you.  there is no way to decrypt them anyways
[00:45] <KlrSpz> ompaul: any ideas?
[00:45] <Jan`> I read that there are (experimental?) HFS+ drivers for Linux.
[00:45] <KlrSpz> this is driving me bonkers. i've been at this for a few months now
[00:45] <magic_ninja> !sgml
[00:45] <neko> Jan` what doeds that have to do with xorg?
[00:45] <Jan`> Ubuntu is the least bad version of Linux. Ergo.
[00:45] <Huffameg> nickrud: yes. which codes do I run?
[00:45] <Jan`> neko: I've no idea. What's xorg?
[00:45] <neko> ffs
[00:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgml - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:45] <hwilde> KlrSpz, why do u need to ip masquerade anyways just do nat
[00:45] <nickrud> niuq, I ended up going to art.gnome.org and getting spifficity or some name similar, it's ugly but short
[00:45] <neko> ok one sec Jan`
[00:45] <KlrSpz> hwilde: tht's what masquerading is
[00:45] <ompaul> KlrSpz, stick your rules into a paste.ubuntu-nl.org and we can have a look at them
[00:45] <proqesi> Jan`: yes, they have been "experimental" for five years
[00:45] <vishal> hi, how would i connect to a network shared printer?
[00:46] <KlrSpz> ompaul: from a iptables -L ?
[00:46] <nickrud> Huffameg, openoffice.org-style-default and openoffice.org-style-crystal , install those
[00:46] <niuq> nickrud: ok ok
[00:46] <niuq> nickrud: the last option didn't work
[00:46] <Jan`> proqesi: Yeah, I got that impression.
[00:46] <hwilde> KlrSpz, without a router u mean?  just get a router why waste months
[00:46] <NMajik> I have a number of computers on my network running ubuntu, I did a port scan of my network and found a number of ports I don't remember being open before. The ports aren't consistent between computers and none of them have a common application with any of these ports as default. Should I be concerned that my networked has been hacked?
[00:46] <proqesi> ubotu: tell vishal about cups
[00:46] <KlrSpz> why interrupt me with comments that don't help with my situation?
[00:46] <hwilde> NMajik, what ports and what programs
[00:46] <ompaul> kloeri, ya
[00:46] <vishal> proqesi: Thanks
[00:46] <ompaul> KlrSpz, ya
[00:47] <samuel_> Folks a little question if here's any Fluxbox users... how do I get it to work? Currently, when I try to run it (by tying 'fluxbox' in ternima) I get an error saying there's already another window manager running. Do I need to delete KDE window manager (kwin) at first?
[00:47] <compwiz18> Can you have multiple gpg keys for one email address?
[00:47] <rkj> Can somebody help me configure a second monitor for my Dell laptop (which came with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed)?
[00:47] <proqesi> Jan`: what I used to prefer was to read from the HFS+, but not write to it. FAT worked well for r/w from both OSes
[00:47] <Huffameg> nickrud: which codes do i use to install..?
[00:47] <kyu_flux> anyone know why a) the time zone doesn't stick in the "Adjust Date/Time" (panel), or b) I get "NTP support is not installed" when I try to set the configuration to "keep synchronized with Internet servers"?
[00:47] <danbhtwo> samuel_ I think you have to pick it at use login
[00:47] <nickrud> samuel_, log out, and under the options button there's a sessions option: choose flux there
[00:47] <Jan`> proqesi: I only need to read the HFS+, yes.
[00:47] <compwiz18> samuel_: logout, then at the login window poke around (can't remember exactly) there will be a fluxbox option
[00:47] <KlrSpz> ompaul: http://www.pastebin.org/13267
[00:47] <stansmith> Has anyone been able to install Gutsy on an intel p35 chipset (mobo)
[00:47] <stansmith> ?
[00:47] <hwilde> KlrSpz, well what exactly is your problem?  just follow this step by step guide  http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables
[00:48] <Jan`> there are two major problems, however.
[00:48] <samuel_> alrighty, thanks for the answers
[00:48] <Jan`> I can't use a Mac to copy the files to a FAT32 volume, because the files (actually just one) is very very big.
[00:48] <mete> I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103
[00:48] <Jan`> Bigger than FAT32 will handle.
[00:48] <nickrud> Huffameg, you can install those with system->admin->synaptic , or sudo aptitude install  openoffice.org-style-default openoffice.org-style-crystal   in a terminal
[00:48] <NMajik> hwilde: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49918/ is my condensed version of the nmap scan where I only show affected computers and ports that I know I didn't open myself
[00:48] <Jan`> And I can't use a mac to copy the files to a FAT32 volume because... I don't have a mac.
[00:48] <Jan`> If I had a mac, I'd just network it across.
[00:48] <niuq> nickrud:couldnt find anything there
[00:48] <danbhtwo> Huffameg try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[00:49] <coreyo> can someone tell me where to look to diagnose a problem with no direct rendering?  I have checked my xorg logs and everything seems to be initializing without any error messages there.  I have also turned on verbose debugging mode for glxinfo and found nothing.  Where else might I turn?
[00:49] <Anubyss> FYI, for who ever needs it, here's a link to creative labs opensource:  http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[00:49] <soulrider> hello, this may sound stupid, but what can i use to resize an animated GIF ?
[00:49] <nickrud> niuq, http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/739
[00:49] <KlrSpz> soulrider: you ahve to do each frame, don't know any linux tools for that sorry
[00:49] <proqesi> Jan`: in cases like that you can use dd to break the file into pieces and cat to put them back together
[00:49] <LimCore> is there some secret option or way to stop the fact one can daily(!) find critical bugs in ubuntu?
[00:49] <katakaio> coreyo: That's a problem that we've been working on for some time
[00:49] <soulrider> kloeri, you sure? =/
[00:49] <katakaio> I don't know if there's an easy solution
[00:50] <rodolfo> nickrud: one question
[00:50] <danbhtwo> LimCore what?
[00:50] <proqesi> Jan`: but what works even better is copying the files onto another machine or device
[00:50] <ewook> LimCore: Add to buglist - I know that you know how to, and stop whining :)
[00:50]  * nickrud wonders what criteria is being used to define critical
[00:50] <Jan`> proqesi: Under Windows?
[00:50] <nickrud> rodolfo, sure
[00:50] <proqesi> Jan`: under any OS, including windows
[00:50] <Jan`> You see the problem here.
[00:50] <hwilde> NMajik, paste the output of this command please    "netstat -apt"
[00:50] <Jan`> I'm stuffed every way I turn.
[00:50] <katakaio> coreyo: This is a good place to start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582873&page=3
[00:51] <nickrud> LimCore, and be sure it's not already filed if you can
[00:51] <Jan`> So the Linux approach solves many problems.
[00:51] <KlrSpz> ompaul: here's the scrip ti'm using to make this a bit easier: http://www.pastebin.org/13270
[00:51] <proqesi> Jan`: it's no different on Windows.. you set up sshd on it
[00:51] <KlrSpz> hwilde: that's basically what i'm doing, check that scirpt i just pasted
[00:51] <ewook> LimCore: and a default font isn't really critical in that manner, now is it?
[00:51] <rodolfo> nickrud: take a look at the link i just posted here...it says "compizconfig-settings-manager (0.5.2+git20070912-0ubuntu1) [universe]"
[00:51] <NMajik> hwilde: Do you want that from every one of the affected computers?
[00:51] <Madpilot> LimCore, I'm with nickrud - please define 'critical'...
[00:51] <Jan`> proqesi: Yes, fine, whatever, lovely, but the fact remains that I need a computer capable of reading the HFS+ disk and this I do not have.
[00:51] <rodolfo> nickrud: so its supposed to be on the universe repo, isnt it?
[00:52] <proqesi> Jan`: linux has been reading HFS+ perfectly for five years now
[00:52] <Jan`> If someone can confirm to me that I can install the latest version of Ubuntu on a desktop PC, plug the firewire disk in and have a window pop up with its contents, great.
[00:52] <juan> is there a workaround for the conflict between xserver-xgl and nvidia-settings?
[00:52] <nickrud> rodolfo, yes
[00:52] <Jan`> If not, I'll go buy a Mac Mini off Ebay.
[00:52] <Jan`> :)
[00:52] <KlrSpz> ompaul: hwilde: that's amodified script from the tlp masquerade howto
[00:52] <KlrSpz> mostly comments removed
[00:52] <coreyo> katakaio, if it helps, I have an intel 965 chipset.  Was having opengl/mesa/driver problems with the gutsy packages, so I compiled all of these from scratch and installed them:  http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html   Now everything is working, except that glxinfo shows me no direct rendering, and games like tuxracer and planeshift run reaaaallly slowly.
[00:53] <hwilde> NMajik, umm just one with the ports open
[00:53] <proqesi> Jan`: why not boot the livecd and see for yourself?
[00:53] <Jan`> proqesi: I had no idea there was one.
[00:53] <KlrSpz> hmm.. i wonder if i have it backwards? hmmm
[00:53] <rkj> Any suggestions for getting my second monitor to work?
[00:53] <Jan`> That is an interesting idea though.
[00:53] <NMajik> hwilde: Ok, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49919/ Let me know if you want more
[00:53] <sorak1701> anybody here familiar with the device detection process? im having an issue with a joystick driver not being loaded properly and looking for troubleshooting options
[00:53] <Jan`> Especially if... it can write to NTFS disks?
[00:54] <hatter> should a usb camera plugged in and detected create a new video device ?  /dev/video2 for instance ?
[00:54] <nickrud> Jan`, yes it can
[00:54] <astro76> Jan`, yes 7.10 will write to ntfs out of the box
[00:54] <ompaul> KlrSpz, it all looks nice and straight forward, however I don't see where the other machines are on that network that you are talking with or to so I can't see why the box is trying to do nat except via wireless and the big question is this can you surf to a web server on the ubuntu box from some wireless connection
[00:54] <Jan`> Oooo.
[00:54] <hwilde> NMajik, ok you see where it says local address  616 that is port 616.  it is process PID 4677 and the program name is "rpc.mountd"
[00:54] <Jan`> Since when was the NTFS write support not "highly experimental?"
[00:54] <katakaio> coreyo: That does help - all of my research has been for my intel 945 chipset, which should be similar. You might like this link too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3825086#post3825086
[00:54] <ompaul> KlrSpz, to prove you are getting the wireless connection
[00:54] <astro76> Jan`, it's the new ntfs-3g driver
[00:54] <hwilde> !fuse | Jan`
[00:54] <ubotu> Jan`: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[00:54] <nickrud> Jan`, unfortunately it doesn't talk to new ipods though
[00:54] <KlrSpz> ompaul: yes, wireless is working fine
[00:55] <KlrSpz> ompaul: but i think i was stupid and mixed up the interfaces in that script.. lemme switch and try
[00:55] <katakaio> coreyo: Try this - check to see if direct rendering is on when logged in as root
[00:55] <Jan`> Christ on a bike
[00:55] <coreyo> katakaio, thank you, I am reviewing the posts now
[00:55] <Jan`> Do you speak English?
[00:55] <Moduliz0r> how do I compile to win32 from under linux (g++)
[00:55] <ompaul> !language | Jan`
[00:55] <ubotu> Jan`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:55] <danbhtwo> !enter | Jan`
[00:55] <ubotu> Jan`: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:55] <nickrud> oh, and Jan` welcome to #ubuntu anyway :)
[00:55] <katakaio> I found that direct rendering was listed as on when I was logged in as root, but not as any other user

[00:57] <ubotu> moduliz0r: mingw32: Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.5.20060117.1.dfsg-3 (gutsy), package size 11428 kB, installed size 53656 kB
[00:58] <NMajik> hwilde: Apparently started on Nov 15. Any cause for concern?
[00:58] <Jan`> I mean they're talking about Gentoo there, I think, but does that mean it supports it or not?
[00:58] <Moduliz0r> thanks, ill give it a go
[00:58] <Dr_willis> the ppc kernel has hfspluse filesystem  allready in the kernel  Jan`
[00:58] <hwilde> NMajik, it is NFS support listening for NFS connections.  did you install this, do you want it running?   http://linux.die.net/man/8/rpc.mountd
[00:58] <Dr_willis> Jan`,  its inlcuded. :) i guess you can say.
[00:58] <ompaul> Jan`, this is not a gentoo support location so why is that of interest to here?
[00:58] <Moduliz0r> how do I do the compile when I have MinGW32 installed?
[00:58] <juan> nickrud: yeah, for compiz
[00:58] <Jan`> ompaul: Uh... I was asking about HFS+ support generally. Why?
[00:58] <nonfake> anyone??????????????????????? i want to install ubuntu
[00:59] <hwilde> KlrSpz, just back yours up and go through their example to see if you have a bug or a config issue.  if their config works just modify it to your preference
[00:59] <proqesi> Jan`: it means that ben herrenschmidt had his own version of the kernel with hfsplus support. in the last 3-5 versions of ubuntu it's already in the kernel
[00:59] <Jan`> What does "in the kernel" mean?
[00:59] <mete> I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103
[00:59] <Huffameg> nickrud: it worked. thanks.
[00:59] <coreyo> katakaio, nope, no DRI as root.  I guess that means it's not a permissions problem?
[00:59] <proqesi> Jan`: he made his own changes to the linux kernel
[00:59] <NMajik> hwilde: Must have. Thanks for your help. I'm going to go through the other computers to ease my mind.
[00:59] <Jan`> proqesi: Who? Why?
[00:59]  * Jan` is confused
[00:59] <nonfake> udevd-event[2191] abnormal exit   <------------ What is this?????????
[00:59] <ompaul> !Jan` (not saying you are but this is why it is of interest - i.e. this channel is specific to ubuntu )
[00:59] <ubotu> I'll remember that, ompaul
[00:59] <danbhtwo> Jan` if linux has a driver for something/ supports something, its in the kernel
[00:59] <nonfake> anyone??????????????????????? i want to install ubuntu
[01:00] <proqesi> Jan`: Ben Herrenschmidt
[01:00] <LjL> nonfake: care to not spam? thanks.
[01:00] <LjL> !install > nonfake    (nonfake, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:00] <Jan`> proqesi: what's he got to do with anything?!
[01:00] <ompaul> !offtopic | Jan` (not saying you are but this is why it is of interest - i.e. this channel is specific to ubuntu )
[01:00] <ubotu> Jan` (not saying you are but this is why it is of interest - i.e. this channel is specific to ubuntu ): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:00] <Jan`> Auuugh!
[01:00] <hwilde> NMajik, run netstat to find out what program is using each port then just google it
[01:00] <Moduliz0r> why is the bot called ubotu? Couldn't it just be ubot?
[01:00] <nickrud> quit picking on Jan` if you read back he mentioned that he only saw this relating to gentoo, wanted to see if it was true here
[01:00] <proqesi> Jan`: <Jan`> I'm googling for info here and I keep finding lines like this: ppc-sources-benh-2.4-21-r2 has hfsplus support in kernel. What does that mean?
[01:00] <NMajik> hwilde: I assume they're all the same thing; they all are running NFS. Thanks again
[01:01] <katakaio> coreyo: Hmm. The command I used was "glxinfo | grep render" to see if DR was on or not . . . did you do the same or something different?
[01:01] <proqesi> Jan`: I was answering your question
[01:01] <Jan`> nickrud: It's short for Janine :)
[01:01] <Dr_willis> nonfake,  you may want to  clarifyt what you are doing, and what cd/version/machine you are installing to.  If the live cd is giving you problems. You may want to try the alternative install cd.
[01:01] <LimCore> Madpilot: critical: application crash, or basic function do not work
[01:01] <nickrud> Jan`, I used the neuter he :)
[01:01] <mete> hwilde, ah, you're using or understanding nfs? can you help with my prob? :P
[01:01] <Jan`> OK. I'm completely confused now. Let's start again.
[01:01] <hwilde> mete, I know that when you run netstat and it says rpc.mountd  that is nfs http://linux.die.net/man/8/rpc.mountd
[01:02]  * Jan` pours liquid nitrogen into top of head
[01:02] <hwilde> Jan`, state your question in one line or less.
[01:02] <proqesi> Jan`: ok. let's.  ubuntu has HFS+ support built-in.
[01:02] <Moduliz0r> Right, I've installed mingw32, how do I compile a simple c++ file for Win32?
[01:02] <mete> hwilde, ah, hehe :)
[01:02] <proqesi> Jan`: that should be enough info for you
[01:02] <coreyo> katakaio, right, that's what I used
[01:02] <rkj> Anyone care to give me some suggestions on how to successfully configure a second monitor?
[01:02] <hwilde> !xinerama | rkj
[01:02] <ubotu> rkj: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[01:02] <Dr_willis> Moduliz0r,  perhaps check the mingw32 web site? or homepage?
[01:02] <mete> hwilde do you know if anywhere is a nfs channel? I can't find one :(
[01:02] <hwilde> !dualhead | rkj
[01:02] <ubotu> rkj: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[01:02] <Jan`> Easy yes or no question: if I install Ubuntu on this (windows currently) computer, plug this HFS disk in, and plug the network in, will I be able to transfer data from the drive to NTFS volumes on other Windows PCs?
[01:02] <Moduliz0r> ok
[01:02] <hwilde> mete, lol there isn't one what are you trying to do
[01:02] <proqesi> Jan`: yes
[01:02] <Moduliz0r> !info mingw32 >moduliz0r
[01:03] <NMajik> hwilde: I might have spoken too soon. Here is the line from another computer from netstat -apt: tcp        0      0 *:1016                  *:*                     LISTEN     -
[01:03] <NMajik> hwilde: No PID listed
[01:03] <Jan`> proqesi: Cool. Supplementary question: will I have to compile software, hack obscure text files, and generally do non-normal-user, outside-the-gui things to make this happen?
[01:03] <katakaio> coreyo: OK then, looks like my issue is a permissions problem :P
[01:03] <coreyo> katakaio, actually, the stock setup for gutsy worked very well except that eve-online and planeshift both crashed due to some problem between mesa/kernel driver/xorg driver
[01:03] <mete> hwilde: I try to share one folder, which I can access from a windows client (without password). smb doesn't work for me
[01:03] <hatter> aptitude is recommended over apt-get now isn't it ?
[01:04] <sonja> does ubuntu come with a font that looks really legible at 5 pixels high and no antialias?
[01:04] <katakaio> Are you using the intel driver for your 965 chipset?
[01:04] <nickrud> hatter, by debian anyway
[01:04] <katakaio> Whopps, that answers that
[01:04] <coreyo> katakaio, aye, intel
[01:04] <proqesi> Jan`: no
[01:04] <Jan`> proqesi: Install software. Plug in drive. Plug in network. Drag and drop. That easy?
[01:04] <coreyo> katakaio, I have both the mesa libs, the drm libs and kernel modules, and the xorg driver compiled from the latest source right now.
[01:05] <hwilde> NMajik, sudo netstat -evap | grep 1016
[01:05] <danbhtwo> o m g Jan` just try it
[01:05] <NMajik> hwilde: Scratch that *cue me feeling dumb*, I forgot to run it as root
[01:05] <katakaio> coreyo: I don't have any first-hand experience with this, but I know some guys with 945/965 chipsets like reverting to the i810 driver
[01:05] <hwilde> !smb | mete
[01:05] <ubotu> mete: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[01:05] <Jan`> danbhtwo: It'll take a day and a half to try it. I would like to have *some* idea that it's feasible (for me) before I commit to that :)
[01:05] <katakaio> Especially when they're crashing out programs or having compatibility issues
[01:05] <NMajik> hwilde: It is, as expected, 4229/rpc.mountd
[01:05] <hatter> nickrud, not by ubuntu ?
[01:05] <danbhtwo> Jan` why would it take so long? just install ubuntu, dual boot, and see if it works
[01:06] <hwilde> NMajik, netstat is your friend
[01:06] <Jan`> danbhtwo: Install ubuntu is half a day right there.
[01:06] <danbhtwo> jan` or use the live cd
[01:06] <nickrud> hatter, ubuntu recommends synaptic
[01:06] <mete> ubotu I've used samba, but it's to slow for me (troughtput never over 50mb/s on a GBit net), so now I'll have a try to NFS
[01:06] <mete> ops xD
[01:06] <NMajik> hwilde: I really should get to know it better
[01:06] <Dr_willis> half a day? Hmm...  thats MS thinking!@ :0
[01:06] <danbhtwo> Jan` it doesnt take me that long to install, its not like windows
[01:06] <Jan`> Live CD is an interesting idea, but I am not quite sure I trust it not to trash my windows install while it works.
[01:06] <danbhtwo> AT ALL
[01:06] <coreyo> katakaio, it was my experience that the i815 wasn't working on the 965, I guess I could try again now that I recompiled it
[01:06] <Dr_willis> the live cd tends to play it safe by default.
[01:06] <Jack-it> hi, someone succesfully installed kde4 on ubuntu hardy? i optain a libgif4 conflict
[01:06] <mete> hwilde: I've used samba, but it's to slow for me (troughtput never over 50mb/s on a GBit net), so now I'll have a try to NFS
[01:07] <hwilde> mete, waht exactly do u want to do it is so easy
[01:07] <hatter> mete, you find samba slow ?
[01:07] <hwilde> mete, just use scp or ftp or read the ntfs system from linux there are plenty of ways to move files
[01:07] <Jan`> Dr_willis: I assume it needs some sort of disk to work on.
[01:07] <proqesi> Jan`: I don't trust *any* software, especially windows, with my data. hence making backups
[01:07] <mete> hatter: yes, it's slow :)
[01:07] <Jan`> There are no disks in this computer I am happy letting Linux write to.
[01:07] <Dr_willis> Jan`,  the live cd? Nope - it dosent.
[01:07] <Jan`> So.
[01:07] <katakaio> coreyo: You're right, and I think the people who use it have recompiled it. But I should warn you, I don't really know what I'm talking about - never dared to do it myself
[01:07] <Dr_willis> Jan`,  I use them in mechines with no HD at all.
[01:07] <rkj> hwilde: I'm reading, thanks. Do you know how I can determine what kind of video card & driver I have? (It's a Dell laptop that came with Feisty pre-installed)
[01:07] <hwilde> Jan`, you can install and boot from a usb pendrive
[01:07] <proqesi> Jan`: so don't trust it
[01:08] <hatter> mete, you're not using a realtek chip are you ?
[01:08] <katakaio> If you feel lucky, give it a whirl
[01:08] <hwilde> rkj, lspci -v
[01:08] <mete> hwilde: I use intel chips (pcie)
[01:08] <danbhtwo> help! scrollkeeper-update is eating up ALL my cpu
[01:08] <danbhtwo> !scrollkeep-update
[01:08] <disasterpiece> hmm
[01:08] <hwilde> mete, but you are trying to move a file from one place to another?  why do u need samba it is so easy
[01:08] <Jan`> Is the live CD on the Ubuntu site
[01:09] <proqesi> Jan`: yes
[01:09] <Jan`> or is it a product of some... other organisation.
[01:09] <hwilde> danbhtwo, open up a terminal.   type in kill -9 `pidof scrollkeeper-update`
[01:09] <proqesi> Jan`: no
[01:09] <disasterpiece> i have a simple question about ubunto, do i ask here? or is there a line of some sort?
[01:09] <Dr_willis> hehheh.. gotta love lagged yes/no questions. :)
[01:09] <hwilde> !ask | disasm
[01:09] <ubotu> disasm: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:09] <Dr_willis> Yes - its on the site.. no its not by someone else..
[01:09] <hwilde> !ask | disasterpiece
[01:09] <ubotu> disasterpiece: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:09] <ironfoot> how dou uninstall in ubuntu 7.10?
[01:09] <hwilde> ironfoot, download the cd from the website
[01:10] <proqesi> ironfoot: uninstall what?
[01:10] <Jan`> only one search result for livecd on ubuntu.com
[01:10] <Dr_willis> ironfoot,  fire up the package manager, click the installed package.
[01:10] <Jan`> and it's not relevant
[01:10] <disasterpiece> how does ubuntu handle games? such as quake2, WoW?
[01:10] <Jan`> Um.
[01:10] <ironfoot> pro rails
[01:10] <mete> hwilde: I've ~5clients, and these are connected to 3 GBit cards... and the throughtput of samba is to slow... (video editing on the network)
[01:10] <hwilde> !ubuntu | Jan`
[01:10] <ubotu> Jan`: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[01:10] <CrackHed> I'm running Gusty with all updates and when I go to Places>Network Servers. I then see the Windows Network icon. I click on that and see the Homenet icon. I click on the Homenet icon and get an error message: The contents of this folder could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: homenet".
[01:10] <Madpilot> Jan`, it's called the Desktop CD now
[01:10] <CrackHed> I've read that this is a known bug, is there a fix available?
[01:10] <astro76> disasterpiece, there is a native quake2 client, wow reportedly works excellently with wine
[01:10] <Jan`> Madpilot: Arrgh.
[01:10] <proqesi> Jan`: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/
[01:10] <hwilde> mete, where is the video stored, what are the filesystems, and what are the OS's
[01:10] <Madpilot> Jan`, it used to be called the LiveCD; lots of us still use the term. Sorry to confuse you!
[01:11] <Dr_willis> The desktop cd is a live cd :)
[01:11] <disasterpiece> astro76, works perfectly with "wine"?
[01:11] <ironfoot> Dr_willis: ok thanx
[01:11] <Onyx> I'm trying to install (required for qtruby)... how can I do that?
[01:11] <disasterpiece> what is that?
[01:11] <Dr_willis> Theres the Kubuntu and Ubuntu variants.
[01:11] <Jan`> Madpilot: LiveCD is a term even I am familiar with.
[01:11] <astro76> !wine | disasterpiece
[01:11] <ubotu> disasterpiece: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[01:11] <arkanes> I'm looking for an 802.11 USB dongle that's known to work out of the box with gutsy, does anyone have any make/model reccomendations?
[01:11] <Dr_willis> and proberly other variants also.
[01:11] <danbhtwo> hwilde thanks
[01:11] <astro76> disasterpiece, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[01:11] <tehpunkprodigy> does anybody know how I can make a program run on startup as root?
[01:11] <Madpilot> Jan`, yeah, I've never been really sure why Ubuntu stopped using the term. I guess "Desktop" CD is slightly more user-friendly...
[01:12] <danbhtwo> hwilde it keeps coming back
[01:12] <Jan`> OK. This puter has an Athlon 64 X2 processor. I'm guessing I want "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD".
[01:12] <mete> hwilde: server: ubuntu 7.10 server, FS: xfs  clients: XP   the videos are stored on the xfs raid5
[01:12] <proqesi> Jan`: yes
[01:12]  * Jan` downloads
[01:12] <wols> Jan`: how much ram do you have?
[01:12] <Jan`> wols: 2Gb. why?
[01:12] <Madpilot> Jan`, possibly. 64bit still has some issues, mostly iwth Flash and other commercial things. 32bit is often easier.
[01:12] <hwilde> danbhtwo, did you just install?  let it run the first time
[01:12] <Jan`> Aaargh!
[01:12] <wols> then you want i386 unless you like problems with flash and java
[01:12]  * Jan` stops downloading
[01:12] <disasterpiece> astro, thank you very much.
[01:13] <proqesi> Madpilot: you can run flash on 64-bit ubuntu after some tweaking
which one do I want!</yelling>
[01:13] <danbhtwo> hwilde yeah, its during an install
[01:13] <Madpilot> proqesi, sure, but it's the 'after some tweaking' part that's a pain.
[01:13] <danbhtwo> hwilde maybe it was a mistake to kill it
[01:13] <wols> Jan`: it>s your decision
[01:13] <Madpilot> Jan`, get the 32bit version for now.
[01:13] <hwilde> danbhtwo, do you even know what it is ?!  http://linux.die.net/man/8/scrollkeeper-update
[01:13]  * Jan` downloads 32 bit version
[01:13] <Jan`> Now see I don't want to be a hater, really I don't. But it's exactly this sort of <expletive> that puts people off Linux.
[01:14] <danbhtwo> hwilde not a clue, but its back!!!
[01:14] <Madpilot> Jan`, 64bit issues are hardly unique to Linux - Windows has had it's share too...
[01:14] <hwilde> danbhtwo, let it install....  read this link while you wait... http://linux.die.net/man/8/scrollkeeper-update
[01:15] <Jan`> Do I need to protectively unplug all my windows disks from the puter before using this thing, or can I trust it not to dump all over them?
[01:15] <Jan`> (they contain data which is worth actual money)
[01:15] <Madpilot> Jan`, the liveCD won't touch your hard drives.
[01:15] <Dr_willis> Jan`,  if thats the case - then yoyu SHOULD have backups allready.
[01:15] <niuq> i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 over a my laptop, everything it's working except for a strange issue, the windows border appears to big, and i dont have a clue how could i change them!
[01:15] <Jan`> Guaranteed?
[01:15] <Jan`> Dr_willis: We do, in a way, but it's a major PITA to restore the data.
[01:15] <arkanes> if you're paranoid unplugging them won't hurt
[01:16] <nickrud> Guaranteed the live cd will not write to the disks without your explicit permission
[01:16] <arkanes> it's always possible that you might tell the installer to format those drives in some wierd cat-related keyboard accident
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Jan`,  what sort of Guarentee do you want...  If you are that paranoid then use a test machine.
[01:16] <hwilde> danbhtwo, windows xp  xfs driver  http://www.crossmeta.com/crossmeta.html
[01:16] <Jan`> Dr_willis: Good idea.
[01:16] <mete> hwilde: do you need more infos?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Or the PC may explode in a flaming ball of Flaming Fury
[01:16] <hwilde> danbhtwo, oops wrong person
[01:16] <hwilde> mete, windows xp  xfs driver  http://www.crossmeta.com/crossmeta.html
[01:16] <arkanes> and note that Ubuntu specifically disclaims any "guarantee" in the "we will pay if we screw this up" sense
[01:16] <nickrud> Dr_willis, nic alliteration, but too many flames :)
[01:16]  * Dr_willis thinks that if restoring backups is a PITA.. then one should find better Backup tools..
[01:16] <Jan`> arkanes: Most places do.
[01:16] <arkanes> of course
[01:16] <hwilde> Jan`, I will personally guarantee that Linux will not make your Windoze box worse.
[01:17] <arkanes> just saying, if thats the kind of guarantee you want, you aren't getting it
[01:17] <hwilde> Nothing could be worse than Windows ahhahahahahaha
[01:17] <Dr_willis> nickrud,  i couldent spell flautlance right. :)
[01:17] <Jan`> Dr_willis: The issue is that it's a video edit station with several jobs on it. Those jobs can be restored using edit decision lists from the original video tape.
[01:17] <mete> hwilde: for what I need xfs driver? the disks aren't in this computer.... and I need they remotely, not local ;)
[01:17] <Jan`> This is the standard backup regime for this sort of data (which is vast).
[01:17] <Jan`> However it is horribly time-consuming.
[01:17] <PKdoR> sup peeps?
[01:17] <Dr_willis> sounds to me like you should be playign with other Os's on a non-critical box.
[01:17] <Jan`> Dr_willis: Hell yes.
[01:18] <PKdoR> any bodu here runing in x64
[01:18] <PKdoR> ?
[01:18] <Dr_willis> go to walmart. get one of those $200 machines. :)
[01:18] <Jan`> Dr_willis: I'll do it on the office PC.
[01:18] <Jan`> That one breaks all the time anyway.
[01:18] <Creed> eww gPC?
[01:18] <Creed> Jan`, if youre just playing around with Ubuntu, why not use a virtual machine?
[01:18] <Oli``> In Sudoku, does generating puzzles work? I just told it to generate a batch of 10 very hard puzzle and they haven't shown up in the game list
[01:19] <Jan`> For what it's worth, we'd dearly dearly love to dump Windows before Adobe forces us to go to Vista by requiring it for one of their packages.
[01:19] <Doxa> What chat room should I go to for problems upgrading my Feisty to Gutsy?
[01:19] <astro76> Jan`, how are you going to replace the Adobe program(s)?
[01:19] <disasterpiece> astro76, what did you mean by "native quake2 client:
[01:19] <Oli``> Doxa: here. What's the boggle?
[01:19] <nickrud> Doxa, this is the place
[01:19] <dolphin_noel> why i'm on google for more then one hour try to search some linux dictionary translactor software and i cant get nathing yet? there are to mobil phones and everything but dont give the reserch to the linux stupid
[01:20] <ssss> #frontal_web
[01:20] <Creed> Jan`, from what I've experienced, most all programs out thus far that "require" Vista can be run fully using Alky. Im sure when more and more Vista only apps come out, more third party utilities will emerge to fix the issue.

[01:20] <mete> hwilde: ?
[01:20] <Doxa> I also have an error when I try to upgrade using the alternative installation cd
[01:20] <astro76> disasterpiece, meaning written or linux, open-source, and in Ubuntu's repos ;)
[01:20] <Creed> Doxa, are you behind a proxy?
[01:20] <initx> I added DPkg::Options "--root=/pkg/" in a custom apt.conf, voila, nothing
[01:21] <initx> any ideas?
[01:21] <Doxa> I'm not sure...
[01:21] <astro76> disasterpiece, quake2-data will grab the data files from your quake2 cd
[01:21] <Doxa> How would I be able to check if I am/not?
[01:21] <Creed> Doxa, do you have to enter any information to browse the Internet?
[01:21] <disasterpiece> gotcha
[01:21] <Jan`> what on earth is alky
[01:21] <astro76> disasterpiece, the data files are copyrighted, but there is shareware/open source alternatives too
[01:21] <Doxa> no, I'm connected on a network at home, which is always connected to the internet
[01:21] <Creed> Doxa, like does Gaim/Pidgin without any extra configuration (aside from account setup)
[01:21] <disasterpiece> i see
[01:21] <Creed> Doxa, please paste the full error on !pastebin
[01:22] <astro76> disasterpiece, with the cd it will be exactly the original game
[01:22] <Beererde> hi. does someone know where ubuntu has its localization info? i want to change the text in some dialogs of pidgin
[01:22] <disasterpiece> so just install it as if it were windows
[01:22] <Oli``> Doxa: It's not recommended but I used apt (instead of update-manager) to do my distro upgrade. I had similar issues to you and this fixed it although I had to run apt, then update manager and then apt again before everything was done
[01:22] <Doxa> Error during update
[01:22] <Doxa> A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.

[01:22] <sonja> please stop
[01:22] <Creed> aye curamba
[01:22] <Jan`> waah!
[01:22] <Jan`> even *I* know not to do *that*
[01:22] <Creed> Jan`, http://alkyproject.blogspot.com/ seems their main website is down at the moment.
[01:23] <disasterpiece> sorry astro, i know nothing of linux
[01:23] <NMajik> !pastebin | Doxz

[01:23] <disasterpiece> but am thinking of trying ubuntu out
[01:23] <Oli``> Doxa: remove the medibuntu repos, upgrade and add the gutsy versions
[01:23] <initx> am I just not specifying DPkg::Options correctly or does apt remove that "for me" because it's not standard
[01:23] <Greevous> what is the use of write-protecting a hidden volume when mapping it with truecrypt?
[01:23] <disasterpiece> i just want to make sure the games i play will still be playable should i switch to ubuntu
[01:23] <Creed> Doxa, as Oli`` said, remove the medibuntu repos or replace them with another one as the one thats currently in your sources is down.
[01:24] <disasterpiece> by what you're telling me. it seems they will be, and that it's pretty simple
[01:24] <nickrud> not just down but nonexistent, it's medibuntu.org now
[01:24] <Doxa> ok, so a) how do I go about doing that b) what should I replace them with
[01:24] <Jan`> I think the preferred solution to the "vista? aargh!" problem is for someone to release a decent video editor for linux.
[01:24] <Creed> disasterpiece, most old games (pre 2006) work perfect on Ubuntu using Wine or Cedega or a similair program. Quite a few new games (TF2) work beautifully as well.
[01:24] <etzerd> hello all
[01:24] <Jan`> Still.
[01:24] <etzerd> ?
[01:24] <disasterpiece> awesome creed
[01:25] <disasterpiece> thanks
[01:25] <Creed> Doxa, are you planning on setting up that box as a Media Center PC?
[01:25] <Doxa> no, it's just my regular desktop
[01:25] <Oli``> Doxa: system > software sources. wang in your password. click the third party tab and uncheck the medibuntu repos.
[01:25] <Creed> Doxa, then you can remove the medibuntu source completly. Follow Oli`` s directions :)
[01:25] <nickrud> Doxa, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , delete the lines with sos-sst.com
[01:25] <Jan`> Hardy Heron. Snicker.
[01:26] <Doxa> Ok, thank you all.
[01:26] <Doxa> What are the mediabuntu repos good for anyway?
[01:26]  * Pelo waves hello to the ppl in the room
[01:26] <Oli``> Doxa: you'd probably be best to just remove them completely and add the gutsy version after you've upgraded
[01:26] <Doxa> I mean, why do I have them in the first place?
[01:26] <Dmitry_> could someone provide an address for a guide that covers the installation of a wired router (preferably SmartAX MT882) in ubuntu?
[01:26] <etzerd> I buy a new computer which is an Intel coreduo 2 2.66 with an onboard 1Ghz network card. I tried to reinstall ubuntu the installation failed at the very beginning because it cannot detected the network card.

[01:26] <Creed> Jan`, better name than the one being distribued at my campus...Hardy Hardon
[01:26]  * nickrud waves back
[01:26] <Oli``> Doxa: they contain non-free codecs and the like
[01:26] <Doxa> Got it
[01:26] <Doxa> Mp3's and divx and stuff
[01:26] <Doxa> Now I remember. :-D
[01:26] <Creed> Doxa, yup
[01:26] <Doxa> thank you all very very much.
[01:26] <Pelo> etzerd, use the alternate install cd
[01:27] <Oli``> Doxa: worth having but not essential to upgrade
[01:27] <Doxa> right, I'll just add them again afterwards.
[01:27] <etzerd> that is what I'm using.
[01:27] <Doxa> Thanks again very much
[01:27] <Creed> Doxa, if you need support for all those simply switch out the sos repo with a more updated/working one. medibuntu.org website should have extra repos you can try.
[01:27] <nickrud> !medibuntu | Doxa
[01:27] <ubotu> Doxa: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:27] <Pelo> etzerd, interesting usualy the alt cd is less fussy about hardware
[01:27] <etzerd> tell me about it.
[01:28] <Pelo> etzerd, if you know the model of the card/chipset , try looking it up in the forum
[01:28]  * nickrud urges the clock along
[01:28] <ubuntu_> hoz do i see in the console how many hdd i have on ;my pc?
[01:28] <etzerd> now I cannot use ubuntu anylonger. I tried so many time without result.
[01:28] <disasterpiece> what kind of virus protection would you all advise?
[01:28] <Jan`> who picks the names
[01:28] <nickrud> disasterpiece, I use none
[01:28] <Pelo> Jan`, which names ?
[01:28] <Creed> Pelo, Ubuntu's release names
[01:28] <Jan`> Pelo: Hardy Heron. Gutsy Gibbon. Haw!
[01:29] <Oli``> disasterpiece: I personally fly commando (nothing) but you could go for something non-resident (scan on demand) like ClamAV if you need something
[01:29] <disasterpiece> i see
[01:29] <disasterpiece> i'm guessing it's much more secure being linux based
[01:29] <astro76> disasterpiece, there is absolutely no need for virus protection, unless you are serving windows clients
[01:29] <Pelo> disasterpiece, there aren'T significant virues treaths for linux but if you want to protect your windows friends by not passing along virues to them you can try  clamtk or there is a nice linux version from the avast ppl
[01:29] <nickrud> disasterpiece, unless you're hosting mail or some such for windows machines, you don't really need anti-virus
[01:29] <Oli``> disasterpiece: exactly
[01:29] <Pelo> Jan`, the ppl at canonical, they make ubuntu
[01:30] <Creed> disasterpiece, if you dont use programs like limewire or go to "shady" websites, you really dont have a need for AV software (aside from on-demand to scan once a month jsut to be on the safe side)
[01:30] <etzerd> so nobody can help me with that?
[01:30] <disasterpiece> gotcha
[01:30] <disasterpiece> well
[01:30] <Oli``> Here's an interesting question... Can WINE get viruses/malware?
[01:30] <Pelo> etzerd, if you know the model of the card/chipset , try looking it up in the forum
[01:30] <disasterpiece> i'm installing it right now on another machine, i'll chill here if i need more help!
[01:30] <disasterpiece> thanks all :D
[01:30] <Jan`> Oli``: well... presumably...
[01:30] <Creed> disasterpiece, I use windows xp as my main os and have been without any virus or spyware for over 3 years, wont get anything unless youre trying to heh
[01:31] <Pelo> Oli``,  I saw an article on diggs from someone who tested it  and the viruses didn'T run well on wine
[01:31] <etzerd> OK, thanks
[01:31] <Creed> Oli``, yup, Wine gets em just like windows :) i played around with it on a VM to see
[01:31] <Pelo> etzerd, this might also be helpfull  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:31] <etzerd> thanks Pelo
[01:31] <Creed> Oli``, some depend on certain parts of windwos to fully work though, so most just chilled on my hardrive doing nothing
[01:32] <Creed> i came here to ask a question and ended up helping others >< now i dont remember my question...damn helpful nature of mine
[01:32] <KlrSpz> lol
[01:32] <KlrSpz> i hate that
[01:32] <Pelo> Creed, welcome to my words,  1 year 2 months running
[01:32] <Creed> lol yah
[01:32] <Creed> haha
[01:33] <x_zeuss> hi, need some help guys. i've just installed flash player but it just doesn't work, when i enter a site that has flash that pop-up windows appears that says plugins are needed, but when i click install flash it says that that package is allready installed
[01:33] <crimsun> see the topic.
[01:33] <Creed> x_zeuss, Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash »
[01:33] <KlrSpz> x_zeuss: unistall flash and re-install, see if it actually is installing properly.. there's a bug
[01:34] <x-X-x> when i install an application through add/remove programs where does it install to ?
[01:34] <Oli``> Is anyone else here running the latest public release of flash (9.0 r115) and find its flv-playback performance just blows bigtime?
[01:34] <Madpilot> x-X-x, whereever it need to be
[01:34] <stdin> same place as if you install with synaptic
[01:35] <x_zeuss> KlrSpz: i reinstalled, no problem there, installed perfectilly but nothing
[01:35] <KlrSpz> x_zeuss: sure it didn't say near the bottom about an md5 checksum err?
[01:35] <kazol> I cannot get sound capture to work on my sound card.
[01:35] <KlrSpz> Gnea: you around?
[01:35] <Pelo> x-X-x,  you don't need to know the path to run an app in linux, just type hte name of it in the terminal or check in the menues,   but to answer your questons,  it gets installed all over the place,  the exectutable files themselves are usualy in /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
[01:35] <KlrSpz> do a "which <app>" to find the path
[01:36] <Creed> this wga strike better end soon, im running out of things to watch
[01:36] <KlrSpz> (of the binary)
[01:36] <x_zeuss> KlrSpz: no
[01:36] <owner10010101> where can i get divx codec for ubuntu 7.10
[01:36] <Pelo> kazol,  opem alsamixer in the terminal and make sure that the mic isn't muted
[01:36] <KlrSpz> owner10010101: check the gstreamer plugins
[01:36] <Pelo> !codecs | owner10010101
[01:36] <ubotu> owner10010101: 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
[01:36] <x-X-x> kk its becouse i installed 7zip and i want to make it the default app to handle zip files and i cant find it
[01:36] <rkj> hwilde: I've been reading the links you sent me on duel displays - one concern is that once I configure for two displays how do I go back when I go somewhere with my laptop?
[01:36] <Optimus55> does anyone know how to change the cursors in ubuntu? when i right click the desktop and change them in customize, they only change inside certain windows..
[01:36] <x-X-x> btw is 7zip better than archive manager ?
[01:37] <crimsun> remember that if you codec enumerates a 'Capture' element, too, you need to unmute that as well.
[01:37] <crimsun> if your*
[01:37] <KlrSpz> rkj, he's gone
[01:37] <Pelo> x-X-x, the 7zip files will be handled throught file roller, I dm not sure that you have a seperate interface for it
[01:37] <x-X-x> k
[01:37] <rkj> bummer, anybody else know about dual monitors?
[01:37] <x-X-x> so does 7zip take over automatically and whats file roller ?
[01:37] <KlrSpz> rkj, and if you set your laptop display as your primary then you have no problem and the 2nd monitor won't initialize
[01:38] <Pelo> !dualhead | rkj
[01:38] <ubotu> rkj: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[01:38] <x_zeuss> KlrSpz: any ideea?
[01:38] <KlrSpz> but i'm out too, later
[01:38] <Pelo> x-X-x, fileroller is the archive manager,  7zip is jsut a format
[01:38] <grout> Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[01:38] <astro76> x-X-x, file roller is the built in archive manager, it will use 7zip and rar if installed
[01:38] <Pelo> grout, check in www.getdeb.net
[01:39] <x-X-x> kk thanx  btw have i made a good decision is 7zip better than what archive manager hgad before ?
[01:39] <x-X-x> had*
[01:39] <grout> pelo: nothing came up :(
[01:39] <Eyemean> hi does any1 know if there is a difference between amsn 0.97RC and amsn 0.97 pls?
[01:39] <astro76> x-X-x, for zip? 7z?
[01:39] <x_zeuss> anyone know why flash player doesn't work?
[01:39] <Pelo> x-X-x, never tried it ,  7zip is just a format ,  just use the one you want from those available in file roller
[01:39] <x-X-x> yes
[01:39] <rkj> KlrSpz: ok thanks, also the Xinerama HowTo mentions a program called i810switch, and when I ran it got the error message "PCI id of i810 is not recognized"
[01:39] <Eyemean> x_zeuss u have to install flash
[01:40] <Pelo> x_zeuss, broken installler,  get the tar from the adobe site
[01:40] <PKdoR> is there any thing I would miss out on by runing 64bit ubuntu?
[01:40] <astro76> x-X-x, well it's gonna use it for 7z obviously, but for zip it probably still uses the normal zip library
[01:40] <qwaz> how do you clear the command line history?
[01:40] <larson9999> x_zeuss, you mean as discribed in the topic of this channel?
[01:40] <astro76> x-X-x, which is fine
[01:40] <x-X-x> kk
[01:40] <astro76> x-X-x, you could always use 7zip itself on the command line too
[01:40] <x-X-x> so installing zip was useless ?
[01:40] <x_zeuss> larson9999: but i was able to install just fine
[01:40] <x-X-x> 7zip*
[01:40] <x_zeuss> larson9999: no errors
[01:40] <Pelo> x-X-x, not if you have to unpack 7zip files
[01:41] <astro76> x-X-x, not really, it handles 7z and a bunch of others
[01:41] <larson9999> x_zeuss, yes, and then it doesn't work.  and if you try to install it says it's already installed.  that's the issue the topic is addressing.
[01:41] <x_zeuss> larson9999: ok ok, any ideea when this is going to be fixed?
[01:42] <x-X-x> kk thnx pelo and astro76 i just wanted to know cos on windows 7zip was like the best at handling zip files and the other formats so i was wondering if it is the best in linux
[01:42] <x-X-x> types*
[01:42] <Pelo> !best | x-X-x
[01:42] <astro76> x-X-x, I always use it when I am forced to use windows too ;)
[01:42] <ubotu> x-X-x: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[01:42] <x-X-x> kk thnx ubotu
[01:42] <dario> hi
[01:43] <larson9999> x_zeuss, nope.  but it only takes about a minute or less to download and install the tarball from adobe's site.
[01:43] <Pelo> !thanks | x-X-x
[01:43] <ubotu> x-X-x: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)

[01:44] <x-X-x> interesting
[01:45] <x-X-x> ubotu is so antisocial
[01:45] <Pelo> x-X-x, they are quite common in support channels,  they keep the helpers from having to type the same info over and over
[01:46] <dario> ...
[01:46] <crimsun> which, interestingly enough, they still do.
[01:46] <Pelo> dario, can we help you with something ?
[01:46] <crimsun> It's just that they type/paste the triggers instead of the entire shebangs.
[01:46] <Pelo> crimsun,  still shorter to type
[01:46] <vintendo> I'm having trouble getting my Linksys WMP54G PCI adapter to work on 7.10

[01:54] <intelikey> grub help    from the grub shell what is the command to install grub to an hd ?
[01:54] <jack-desktop> When I right click .exe programs, it shows "Open with gedit", how do I remove that option?
[01:54] <ewook> Pelo: I didn't ask a question, just tried to enlighten you from the adobe-path in your guidence, no need to shout :)
[01:54] <haygus> 100% the size
[01:54] <Pelo> !grub | intelikey
[01:54] <ubotu> intelikey: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:55] <Pelo> ewook, sorry  just an unfortunate caplock
[01:55] <ewook> =)
[01:55] <haygus> but berfore reboot it war good i start the CP and i saw that
[01:55] <Pelo> haygus,  I am not familiar with kde, I am guessing you can probably specify the hight of the task bar in pixel
[01:55] <x-X-x> k i just learnt that file roller is just a core and needs extra tools for it to handle different compression formats is this true ?
[01:56] <Pelo> haygus,  try asking in #kubuntu , they are familiar with kde stuff
[01:56] <Pelo> x-X-x, I thiunk we mentionned that earlier, if not I am sorry
[01:56] <haygus> ok ty
[01:56] <astro76> x-X-x, well out of the box with Ubuntu it supports mostly everything already, except rar and 7z
[01:56] <ubuntu__> Does anyone know how to make it so that I change resolutions with one click?
[01:56] <Pelo> gotta go, g'night folks
[01:56] <jack-desktop> When I right click .exe programs, it shows "Open with 'gedit' " two times, how do I remove that option?
[01:56] <ewook> Pelo: laters.
[01:57] <sourcemaker> Should the kernel timer frequency not 1000HZ for a desktop system? Why is it not default in the ubuntu kernel?
[01:57] <spaceghost_> pelo: I did as you said but the instructions aren't all that clear... it says to navigate to "this directory" which I assume means the directory where firefox is located but I don't know where that might be... could you tell me what directory that might be?
[01:57] <intelikey> pelo i don't see anything there about using the grub shell
[01:57] <x-X-x> in the info for file rollar it showed alot of formats but a * next to it doesnt tht mean that u need to install those seperately?
[01:58] <intelikey> ah well.   anyone have dias about grub shell ?
[01:58] <RevTom> just to clarify from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup?highlight=%28bluetooth%29 -- if I plug in my usb bluetooth dongle and the bluetooth icon doesn't appear, that means it's not supported?  It's a Dell part number NH366 I believe
[01:58] <RevTom> also, hiya :)
[01:58] <ubuntu__> does anyone know anything about resolutions?
[01:58] <RevTom> a little
[01:59] <intelikey> howto use the grub shell to install grub on hda1 ?
[01:59] <ubuntu__> would you know how to make it so that I can switch between two resolutions with one click?
[01:59] <josio> Witam! rozmawia ktos po polsku ;)
[02:00] <spaceghost_> can anyone tell me in which directory I should install flashplayer?
[02:00] <RevTom> i would not, sorry
[02:00] <RevTom> would that really come up that often?
[02:00] <x-X-x> thnx for the help guys pelo and astro76 in particular
[02:01] <LimCore> is there any tool to modify fonts easly, in example make all glyphs more thick?   since default ubuntu fonts suck
[02:01] <RevTom> default ubuntu fonts DO suck
[02:01] <RevTom> and this pidgin typing making the whole line bounce thing isn't great either
[02:02] <sonja> RevTom:   agreed
[02:02] <ubuntu__> I just installed a flashplayer today.
[02:02] <sonja> how do i make Calibri and Consolas my default fonts?
[02:02] <WorkingOnWis1> short of running >4GB of ram, is there any advantage to using x64 right now over x32. I am on 64 now just so I can see it for myself, and unless I'm missing something, 64 bit is a waste of resources for my system. Turion x2 with 4GB ram. I run virtualbox for Windows XP and to play with other distros, but other that that and some 3d games, I'm pretty low demand for my system.
[02:02] <sonja> x64 does not have Flash :(
[02:03] <ReaperWitobi> So, I've been trying to get php installed on my localhost - but everytime I browse to my php files, it tries to download them...
[02:03] <ubuntu__> I didn't worry about which directory to use I just installed it with the directions at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash.  Everything worked perfectly.
[02:03] <WorkingOnWis1> sonja: actually, I have flash, but java is FUBAR
[02:03] <nn> where would i find documents on building ubuntu disks for another architecture? I'm wanting to get xubuntu on arm
[02:03] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, not really, unless you have specific 64bit applications
[02:03] <cookie> hello guys
[02:03] <Madpilot> sonja, you can change your system fonts at System->Prefs->Appearances, Font tab
[02:03] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: is there such a thing as a non-32 bit linux app?
[02:03] <cookie> is there any hex reader like hex that will compare 2 files?
[02:03] <LimCore> WorkingOnWis1: 64bit ones?
[02:04] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, think like scientific applications, that can take advantage of large numbers
[02:04] <intelikey> all i can get out of grub-install is an error /dev/hda does not have any coresponding bios drive
[02:04] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, basically unless you already know you probably don't need it
[02:04] <x_zeuss> hi, i have a ntfs hdd on my comp, when i double-click it in nautilus it says i don't have permision to mount it. how do i mount it?
[02:04] <ndee> hi there, what's the fastest way to remove X and all gnome stuff from a desktop machine? I had the CD lying around but I actually want a server :D
[02:04] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: lol...I usually hate that answer, but I think u r right in this case  :)
[02:04] <nn> astro76: anything that does math on large datasets typically benefits (to include game physics, etc)
[02:04] <cookie> hello
[02:04] <Flannel> ndee: Ubuntu?
[02:05] <ndee> Flannel: yes
[02:05] <qcode> Wii to run Ubuntu soon: http://youtube.com/watch?v=H5YB1Mmx7E4
[02:05] <nn> so long as it was compiled with a compiler that optimizes for the 64bit platform
[02:05] <cookie> is there any hex reader like "hex" that will compare 2 files...if they are the same
[02:05] <RevTom> can anyone just peek and see if they agree with my interpretation?
[02:05] <x_zeuss> how do i mount a ntfs hdd?
[02:05] <RevTom>  just to clarify from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup?highlight=%28bluetooth%29 -- if I plug in my usb bluetooth dongle and the bluetooth icon doesn't appear, that means it's not supported?  It's a Dell part number NH366 I believe
[02:06] <RevTom> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=mount+ntfs&titlesearch=Titles
[02:06] <nn> x_zeuss: ntfs-3g
[02:06] <Flannel> ndee: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde will get rid of gnome, after that, you have to yank out the Xserver.  Be sure to --purge with that as well, since you dont want the config files
[02:06] <nn> no ideas on this?
[02:06] <x_zeuss> nn: i installed the ntfs configuration tool
[02:06] <WorkingOnWis1> going to download Gutsy 32 bit an take some asprin for my 64bit java fubar induced headache
[02:06] <Flannel> ndee: and of course, ditch the install kubuntu- at the end of that line
[02:06] <x_zeuss> nn: or is ntfs-3g different?
[02:07] <nn> x_zeuss: ntfs-3g is great
[02:07] <PKdoR> any word on when will creative have 32bit X-Fi drivers?
[02:07] <spaceghost_> can anyone please tell me how to navigate to my desktop in terminal?
[02:07] <RevTom> nn: the forums are probably a better place for that question
[02:07] <astro76> spaceghost_, cd ~/Desktop
[02:07] <Flannel> spaceghost_: cd ~/Desktop
[02:07] <spaceghost_> ty
[02:07] <x_zeuss> nn: i have ntfs-3g installed
[02:07] <RevTom> you'll hit a wider array of ppl, increasing the likelihood of an answer to your compelling but narrow question
[02:08] <x_zeuss> nn: when i double-click the hdd in nautilus it says i don't have privileges to mount it
[02:08] <RevTom> x_zeuss:  here's the info in the documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G?highlight=%28mount%29%7C%28ntfs%29
[02:08] <Hendrix> hi
[02:09] <nn> RevTom: im sure theres a set of procedures followed to roll a release..and im sure somewhere they are documented, but not having much luck finding them
[02:09] <pteague> that's not good...
[02:09] <RevTom> nn: you're probably right
[02:09] <Hendrix> I need a piece of advice!!
[02:09] <RevTom> i'm still trying to figure out if this bluetooth dongle is going to work for me
[02:09] <pteague> i loaded that page & firefox says noscript filtered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from [chrome:]...
[02:09] <Hendrix> you can help me?
[02:09] <RevTom> Hendrix: switch to decaf?
[02:10] <PKdoR> is there an opensource alternative for flas?
[02:10] <Hendrix> revtom...goodnight..please to meet you
[02:10] <PKdoR> i mean flash?
[02:10] <RevTom> pleased to meet you too.  any chance you're going to ask whatever it is you want advice about? :)
[02:10] <Delvien> PKdoR gnash,
[02:10] <Hendrix> revtom..I looking for a soft for ubuntu
[02:10] <Hendrix> 'cause
[02:11] <Hendrix> i want to make a video dvd
[02:11] <pteague> a soft?
[02:11] <PKdoR> Delvien: does it have 64bit binaries?

[02:12] <kriel> From past experiences with linux gurus, I've learned that linux dosen't need to defrag. Originally, I took this at face value, but then I thought 'Hm. How can it not need to be defragged...?' So I found this wonderful article online. http://dataexpedition.com/~sbnoble/Tips/filesystems.html  However, it leaves with an end little hook 'If [the drive geometry] information is not available, or is not accurate, then the drive may perform very 
[02:12] <Hendrix> now..i'm going to download that
[02:13] <kriel> cvd: yup. Just go through the options... if i remember correctly, it's enabled by default, and asks you every time if you want to save a password.
[02:13] <Hendrix> i'm from argentina
[02:13] <spaceghost_> can anyone tell me is there a way to install flashplayer on a 64bit os?
[02:13] <astro76> Hendrix, use synaptic
[02:13] <PKdoR> Any body here use gnash as a flash player for 64bit bnt?
[02:13] <astro76> !synaptic | Hendrix
[02:13] <ubotu> Hendrix: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[02:13] <Hendrix> ok astro76
[02:13] <cvd> not password other things
[02:13] <cvd> email, name etc...
[02:14] <Hendrix> yes..the pack is downloading
[02:14] <RevTom> anyone know how I can find a bluetooth dongle that's compatible?
[02:14] <Hendrix> 7s left
[02:14] <kriel> cvd: mmm... maybe. don't quote me on this, but i think it remembers past things that have been typed in fields...
[02:14] <Hendrix> installing
[02:14] <Flannel> nn: You might be better off just going the debian route.  Not to rain on your parade or anything.  There are a number of ports though.  But I don't know where they come from.  Maybe ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-mobile (the latter is an obvious port, they might be able to steer you)
[02:14] <RevTom> i really want a bt headset, and it would be nice if it also worked so I could watch movies in bed w/ headphones
[02:14] <kriel> cvd: try asking in #firefox
[02:15] <Hendrix> it's easy to use??
[02:15] <RevTom> ah ha!  finally found it
[02:15] <ndee> Flannel: do you know how I can
[02:15] <ndee> Flannel: oops
[02:15] <ndee> Flannel: oops, thanks did I want to write :D
[02:16] <Hendrix> ubotu..it's easy to use?
[02:16] <RevTom> k, guess I'm out
[02:16] <spaceghost_> can anyone please tell me if there's a way to install flashplayer on a 64bit machine?
[02:16] <pteague> kriel> interesting article, but i think it's missing something... different filesystems do different things so it's not just a PC (windows) / Unix thing... or did you post that link for the other fragmentation? :)
[02:16] <astro76> !flash64 | spaceghost_
[02:16] <ubotu> spaceghost_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[02:17] <spaceghost_> uubotu: ty
[02:17] <pteague> lol
[02:17] <mrMister> hey. I'm trying to find our where the X11 libraries and headers are located
[02:18] <Hendrix> thanks friends..!!!!now...i'll start with my dvd project
[02:18] <Hendrix> happy new year!!!
[02:18] <Hendrix> see you later!
[02:18] <mrMister> I've installed the xserver dev package but it doesn't seem to be enough
[02:18] <kriel> pteague: ehheh. True. and no, i posted it for file fragmentation. What I was wondering is, is there a way to verify that my drive geometry is at least reasonably correct?
[02:18] <grout> Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[02:19] <PKdoR> I have a x-fi sound card and I believe that my onboard sound is not compatible with lxn so is 64bit my only choise? (I do have 4GB RAM)
[02:19] <pteague> that i'm not sure of, but i do know that some of the different fs automatically handle defragging during low loads
[02:19] <Dr_willis> Ive heard so much about 64bit and the 4 gb ram.  ive heard that its only when you have OVER 4gb.. or some times whenits close to 4gb.. and so on.. :)
[02:20] <Dr_willis> try booting the 32bit live cd - and see if it sees all the ram as a test.
[02:20] <Dr_willis> as for the xi-fi card. as far as i know Creative has only released 64bit drivers for it. so far.
[02:21] <PKdoR> no it only sees like 3.4 or something but the main reason is that there are no drivers for my sound card on 32 only 64bit (x-fi)
[02:21] <pteague> kriel> i know on ext3 (last i check anyways) it's impossible to undelete a deleted file as there's no way to guarantee a portion of the deleted file hasn't been overwritten... where as in FAT/FAT32 it's marked a certain way & there's no auto defrag
[02:22] <sonja> how do i install cabextract ??
[02:22] <kriel> pteague: yeah, i understand that... although i didn't know it before, i understand it ~.^;  but im talking at more of a hard drive configuration level, not necessarily a FAT* vs. ext* comparison.
[02:22] <pteague> i know this cause we had been looking at moving cvs to subversion & rather than the gradual move we were thinking about we ended up making a cold turkey change... i accidently rm -fdr the cvs repositories
[02:23] <pteague> kriel> ah, that i don't know about... that's to geeky for me ;)
[02:24] <juuruichki> ª_ª
[02:24] <Shpook> Okay, this is the LAST time I am reformatting my computer. And no more Pulse Audio!
[02:25] <ifireball> kriel: fdisk has a verify option
[02:26] <kriel> ifireball: hm. That could work. But wouldn't that just verify the uh... the validity of the partition, not necessarily the geometry?
[02:26] <hendrixski> help.  I installed Ubuntu for my dad this christmas, but he called me and sais that nothing happens after he logs in... it just hangs. :-(  anybody know what the problem could be?
[02:26] <Shpook> Actually, I'm still interested in installing PulseAudio. Is there anyway to install the PA sound server in a "sandbox"? I know of chroot, but I'm not familiar with it. I just want to make sure I can easily revert any changes.
[02:27] <PMantis> Where can I download Ubuntu JeOS ?
[02:27] <hendrixski> Is there maybe a regression after the latest updates or something?  Or would turning off the bluetooth thing from startup cause this?
[02:27] <ifireball> kriel: fdisk can alos give you geometry info
[02:27] <astro76> !jeos | PMantis
[02:27] <ubotu> PMantis: JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.  It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.
[02:27] <kriel> another question, what level are RAIDs set up at? I remember seeing options in BIOS for it, but I remember people setting it up at the software level as well.  Can it be set up from both?
[02:28] <Shpook> PMantis: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos courtesy of Google.
[02:28] <hendrixski> Shpook, chroot is kinda difficult, but basically creates a separate file system for you to play in, and whatever you mess up in there won't mess up your main system
[02:28] <WorkingOnWis1> how can I install Evolution from the hardy repos but stay on Gutsy?
[02:28] <kriel> ifireball: Okay. Thanks.
[02:28] <PMantis> Thanks guys
[02:28] <ifireball> kriel: other then that, its not something the software can actually "see", the disk controller pretty much hides the real geometry in pc-grade disks
[02:28] <hendrixski> Shpook, tools like dchroot make it easier to manage ... look into that. :-)
[02:28] <Shpook> hendrixski: So I could set up a chroot environment, and not have to reformat or fight a long battle if I mess something up?
[02:28] <Burlynn> is there any program to recombine split video files short of 'cat'ing 20 files together. thats so time consuming
[02:29] <Towelboy> hey. I have problems with divx in ubuntu. Every player just shuts down, when i try to play a movie. Does anybody know how to fix this?
[02:29] <hendrixski> Shpook, you'll only have to fight the long battle to learn how to use chroot... but once that's over, yeah.  If you mess something up, just delete the chroot.   it's kind of like a virtual machine except it's only a file system
[02:29] <pteague> !ubotu divx

[02:30] <Shpook> hendrixski: Perfect. I'll spend the night learning and reading about it then. I tried installing PulseAudio on a 64-bit build, and it FUBAR'd the system. Thank you!
[02:31] <Shpook> !chroot
[02:31] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[02:31] <hendrixski> Shpook, good luck.  I use chroots for software development but I know it's used for the 64 bit thing sometimes too
[02:31] <hendrixski> !dchroot
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dchroot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <hendrixski> !schroot
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about schroot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:32] <Shpook> hendrixski: Oh, I'm not using 64 bit anymore. The speed gain wasn't enough to be worth the headache
[02:32] <lammy> hallo world!
[02:32] <hendrixski> :-)
[02:32] <Shpook> hendrixski: Oh, and the chroot wiki has the information for dchroot
[02:33] <Shpook> hendrixski: Thanks again.
[02:33] <hendrixski> no problem
[02:33] <WorkingOnWis1> how can I install Evolution from the hardy repos but stay on Gutsy?
[02:33] <facted> hi, i have an issue with a recently installed ubuntu and firefox 3.0 Beta 2...It won't let me save to anything but the "root" directory. Can anyone help?
[02:33] <hendrixski> just don't say I didn't warn you, it's not easy to learn all the nook and crannies of how it works
[02:33] <crdlb> WorkingOnWis1: evolution relies on a lot of gnome libraries, that's not likely to end well.
[02:33] <lammy> which iso-file should i use for a intel 64b installation - can i use the amd64 builds!?
[02:34] <WorkingOnWis1> crdlb: thats not what i wanted to hear...
[02:34] <Shpook> hendrixski: Neither is marriage, but I'm trying anyways. :-D
[02:34] <brody> I have an IBM t 43 and can't get the midi working, any suggestions?
[02:34] <hendrixski> lol
[02:34] <hendrixski> brave man
[02:34] <Flannel> lammy: yes, or the i386, depending on if you want a 64 or 32 bit OS
[02:34] <Shpook> lol
[02:34] <biff420> what can you use as a .rar archiver in ubuntu?
[02:34] <WorkingOnWis1> crdlb:  although....i could compile it from source...
[02:34] <Flannel> facted: You should ask in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org
[02:34] <hendrixski> So, anybody...  would recent updates cause Gutsy to not be able to load a session once you log in?  or possible disabling the bluetooth utility from the startup menu?  I kinda need to know quickly
[02:35] <brody> !ubotu midi
[02:35] <ubotu> Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[02:35] <disasterpiece> so i'm trying to get my raid-0 going with ubuntu, i've run through the steps pasted here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto - (i did these steps before i did the full install) is that right?
[02:35] <Shpook> hendrixski: Is it hanging right after login?
[02:35] <hendrixski> Shpook, yup
[02:35] <wh0anur> rere
[02:35] <hendrixski> and I can't be sure what's going on because it's my fathers' computer, and it's 5 hours away
[02:35] <Madpilot> ubotu, rar | biff420
[02:35] <ubotu> biff420: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[02:36] <Shpook> hendrixski: let me search through my bookmarks, I remember coming across a fix for that, one sec
[02:36] <biff420> thanks
[02:36] <WorkingOnWis1> is there a way to use a firefix for windows video codec in firefox for linux? there is no linux equivilant of this codec.
[02:36] <korosora> hey, will skype come to gutsy anytime soon? T_T
[02:36] <lammy> Flannel: thanks - i will try the amd64 for my intel core2duo ...
[02:36] <hendrixski> oh man, you'd be a lifesaver if you have the fix
[02:37] <facted> Does anyone know why firefox won't let me save anywhere but root (when I go to save, the places menu only goes as high up as root...i can't go any higher in the directory tree).
[02:37] <juuruichki> cause you fail?
[02:37] <hendrixski> facted... by "root" do you mean   "/"   ?
[02:37] <Delvien> is there anyway to FORCE nautilus to copy a file over to another hard drive thats greater than 6gigs ?
[02:37] <facted> no, the "root" directory
[02:37] <Forbr4d3> there isnt higher than root heh
[02:37] <facted> in the files system
[02:37] <Forbr4d3> try /home
[02:38] <WorkingOnWis1> facted: there shouldnt be a root dir
[02:38] <hendrixski> are you starting firefox as root?
[02:38] <Riotblade> Hey, anyone know how to set links (browser) to save cookies
[02:38] <WorkingOnWis1> facted: a dir caled root i mean
[02:38] <facted> not 100% sure, I followed the insturctions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html
[02:38] <hendrixski> facted, please don't tell me you logged in as root!
[02:38] <facted> i don't think I did
[02:38] <Forbr4d3> he just doesnt understand the directory structure
[02:38] <Nostahl> i just changed the resolution from 600/800 to 1200/1000 and it told me to log off and log back on my user
[02:38] <facted> although, anything is possible...i just installed linux today :)
[02:38] <Nostahl> so i did and now the screen is all scrambled its at the login window
[02:38] <Nostahl> what do i do
[02:39] <WorkingOnWis1> facted: do u see a directory caled home?
[02:39] <hendrixski> facted, oh.  Ok :-)
[02:39] <Forbr4d3> /home/username
[02:39] <Shpook> hendrixski: did you try hitting ctrl-alt-f1 after it hangs, then at the terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[02:39] <facted> not when I go to save something in firefox
[02:39] <Forbr4d3> is what are want
[02:39] <korosora> hey guys, skype doesnt work on gutsy T_T
[02:39] <facted> the places menu on the left goes as high up as "root"
[02:39] <Forbr4d3> s/are/you
[02:39] <facted> actually, really "filesystem"
[02:39] <disasterpiece> do i need to the full install of unbuntu before or after the raid?
[02:39] <facted> oh wait, hold on
[02:40] <Nostahl> how do i fix my screen it is all scrambled now after changing resolution
[02:40] <Shpook> !skype
[02:40] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[02:40] <hello_man> Can someone help me install Aptana on Ubuntu? I want to install the 1.0 release (http://aptana.com) but I have no idea how.
[02:40] <Forbr4d3> facted: the / or root directory is like your c: drive its the top level
[02:40] <Shpook> !skype | korosora
[02:40] <ubotu> korosora: please see above
[02:40] <facted> I gotcha, i actually found my home directory in there with my username
[02:40] <Shpook> Smart bot, we love you.
[02:40] <facted> i am so sorry for the bother :)
[02:40] <hendrixski> Shpook, I did not.  because I don't know if it's a x-server problem.  I can call him and tell him to type that in
[02:41] <Nostahl> anyone know how i can fix my screen its all scrambled after changing the resolution
[02:41] <hendrixski> facted, don't worry, we were all beginers once too
[02:41] <WorkingOnWis1> facted: u scared us....no problem
[02:41] <disasterpiece> i'm trying to get raid set up, anyone lend a hand?
[02:41] <WorkingOnWis1> some of us...me...stil are.
[02:41] <Shpook> hendrixski: I can't find anything in my bookmarks, but I found a few suggestions for the above method in the ubuntu forums. It worked for some, and didn't for others.
[02:41] <WorkingOnWis1> whose got a towel, this water behind my ears is buggin me  :)
[02:42]  * Forbr4d3 tosses WorkingOnWis1 a towel
[02:42] <WorkingOnWis1> lol
[02:42] <WorkingOnWis1> Forbr4d3: ty
[02:42] <hendrixski> Nostahl, just like shpook suggested for my problem above ... get a terminal (hit ctrl+alt+f1) and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:43] <Shpook> hendrixski: I can say that the one time that I had the exact same problem, it was caused by me installing the wrong nvidia driver.
[02:43] <Nostahl> k
[02:43] <Nostahl> can you messge me that so it dosnt fly by please hendrixski
[02:43] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: whats the problem?
[02:43] <hendrixski> Shpook, I didn't install any drivers for him though
[02:43] <facted> question though...why is it when I save a file to my desktop, it automatically becomes locked so I can no longer delete it?
[02:43] <facted> (or rather, i have to go into the terminal and delete it with root privlidge)
[02:43] <hendrixski> Forbr4d3, I installed Gutsy for my dad over christmas, and everything worked then today he calls says when he tries to log in nothing happens
[02:43] <Forbr4d3> facted: file permissions?
[02:43] <facted> from firefox that is
[02:44] <facted> i understand, but do my permissions for every file saved from firefox have to be root?
[02:44] <facted> or can I alter that somehow
[02:44] <Forbr4d3> facted: you are doing something strangely
[02:44] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: does he log in and is tolt his session lasted less than 10 seconds?
[02:44] <hendrixski> facted... there's something very wrong with that.   it shouldn't be root
[02:44] <facted> yea, that's what I fear
[02:44] <astro76> facted, the normal version works fine
[02:44] <Towelboy> i can't play any videos at all in ubuntu. have an ati radeon card...Anyone knows the solution?.
[02:44] <facted> doesn't seem right at all
[02:45] <disasterpiece> i am trying to my raid-0 going with ubuntu. I haven't fully installed ubuntu, should i do that before or after the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto  ??
[02:45] <Forbr4d3> facted: if you open up a terminal and type cd ~
[02:45] <Shpook> hendrixski: I would say give that a try, it won't make it any worse. At least rule out the basics.
[02:45] <astro76> facted, maybe something is wrong with the beta
[02:45] <Forbr4d3> that will bring you to your home dor
[02:45] <Forbr4d3> then cd Desktop
[02:45] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, nope, from what he told me it just has that red-ish screen and nothing happens
[02:45] <Forbr4d3> and ls -l
[02:45] <facted> yes forbr4d3?
[02:45] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: like gdm isnt starting but the x server is?
[02:46] <facted> i did all that
[02:46] <nickrud> facted, check the permissions on the firefox binary, is it set suid?
[02:46] <facted> no
[02:46] <facted> it's set to root!
[02:46] <Forbr4d3> whats the file permissions say?
[02:46] <facted> which is def. not the way it should be, i think ;)
[02:46] <hendrixski> facted, when you click on applications-->accessories-->terminal  does it say  username@computername -$     or does it say root@computername -$   ?
[02:46] <facted> root:root
[02:46] <nickrud> facted, that's the owner, not the permissions
[02:46] <Forbr4d3> what about the rwx part
[02:46] <facted> root@...
[02:46] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, I'm guessing that's it.... because xserver is needed for the login screen right?  so yeah, it's that Gnome isn't starting up
[02:47] <facted> i logged in as root didnt' I...
[02:47] <hendrixski> facted... then you logged in as root.
[02:47] <nickrud> lol
[02:47] <Forbr4d3> facted: you are running firefox as root
[02:47] <hendrixski> yes, that's bad
[02:47] <facted> hmm
[02:47] <Forbr4d3> facted: how did you start firefox
[02:47] <hendrixski> if you're on IRC as root that's even worse
[02:47] <Forbr4d3> you dont need to sudo firefox heh
[02:47]  * nickrud reaches for ddc
[02:47] <facted> from the applications->internet->firefox
[02:47] <facted> though I did this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html to install firefox 3.0
[02:47] <Forbr4d3> so you are logged in as root heh
[02:47] <hendrixski> facted,   find a manual on how to create an account that isn't root, and then log out and then log in as that non-root user  :-)  ASAP
[02:48] <Shpook> Does his terminal say he's logged in as root?
[02:48] <facted> terminal says root...
[02:48] <facted> alright
[02:48] <Forbr4d3> yeah
[02:48] <facted> tahnsk for the help guys
[02:48] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: its a 3 step thing. x starts, then the login manager (gdm for Ubuntu by defaut) then the session, Gnome. I dont know how, but it sounds like gdm needs do reconfigured maybe?
[02:48] <facted> i'm gonna create a new account that's not root
[02:48] <Forbr4d3> good thinkin
[02:48] <facted> adios
[02:48] <Nostahl> make the new account Tree
[02:48] <Forbr4d3> haha
[02:48] <nickrud> wierd, gdm has to be told to allow root to log in at all....
[02:48] <disasterpiece> wish i knew what "root" meant :P
[02:49] <disasterpiece> !root
[02:49] <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
[02:49] <Forbr4d3> that was an strange case
[02:49] <meng> i am having issues with the process evince thumbnauler and pdftotext taking up all my cpu cycles
[02:49] <renegade420> The sound is not working and alsamixer is giving an error device not found.
[02:49] <nickrud> disasterpiece, root in this context means the user that can do anything
[02:49] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, ah.  Ok.... then.. .I guess it may be because I unselected the thing bluetooth manager program from the startup  and that's causing gnome not to load
[02:49] <renegade420> and i am ruunning xubuntu
[02:49] <Shpook> lol Ubotu has some strange responses sometimes.
[02:50] <Forbr4d3> i login to my iPhone as root :p
[02:50] <Nostahl> ok guys
[02:50] <Nostahl> i got an ati card
[02:50] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, Forbr4d3, Shpook is there a way to get that program back on the startup-programs list from commandline?
[02:50] <facted> back...on second thought, i'm logged in as my username I believe
[02:50] <facted> terminal says:
[02:50] <Nostahl> it said to use restricted drivers to use the full 3d support of the card so i said yea
[02:50] <disasterpiece> !raid
[02:50] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[02:50] <Nostahl> it installed them
[02:50] <facted> root@username-desktop
[02:50] <compwiz18> facted: your still root
[02:50] <nickrud> facted, you're root
[02:51] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: maybe. again, I dont know how, but there is a way to kill the xserver, then from the command line start gnome in a "safe-mode" way, no scripts, not autostart apps....
[02:51] <Nostahl> then i tryed selecting my monitor and the 1200/1000 resolution in screens and graphics
[02:51] <facted> what's weird is when I opened up my users
[02:51] <meng> i am having issues with the process evince thumbnauler and pdftotext taking up all my cpu cycles
[02:51] <pteague> speaking of raid... any particular reason to make single disks raid devices?
[02:51] <Nostahl> it told me to log off  when i did it scrambled the screen
[02:51] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: i missed the first part of what you were saying
[02:51] <Forbr4d3> what are you trying to do?
[02:51] <astro76> pteague, absolutely none
[02:51] <Shpook> hendrixski: I'm sure there is, but honestly, I wouldn't know how. Was it the Bluetooth manager?
[02:51] <facted> my username account has my name (which is what I set), and tha'ts how I signed in
[02:51] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, good call.... .and then from safe-mode he can re-select it
[02:51] <facted> there is a separate root:root account
[02:51] <facted> which I did not use to login
[02:51] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski:  yup. all the things I've done and forgot....sorry I'm not more help with the details.
[02:52] <Nostahl> then i restarted the computer it comes back on saying your screen and graphics could not be detected correctly. to use higher resolutions visual effects or multiple screens you have to configure the display yourself.
[02:52] <Nostahl> any idea's?
[02:52] <nickrud> Nostahl, to get back to your original config, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg. You may need to clt-alt-f1 to log in and do that, ctl-alt-f7 gets you back to the graphical shell
[02:52] <disasterpiece> astro76, i am trying to get raid going. should i do the full install before performing the steps that the !raid help implies? or after?
[02:52] <compwiz18> facted: what is the name of the account you want to be logged in as?
[02:52] <pteague> figured there wasn't... the moron that set up the production server made each directory off root it's own raid disk even though it's a single partition
[02:52] <facted> i have to change my permissions to not allow "administer the account"
[02:52] <facted> is that correct?
[02:52] <Forbr4d3> facted: type whoami in a terminal
[02:52] <nickrud> Nostahl, then hit clt-alt-backspace to restart X with the new config
[02:52] <hendrixski> Shpook, yeah, I deselected it because he doesn't have bluetooth.  and I'm guessing that may be causing it to not load
[02:52] <facted> "administer the system" rather
[02:52] <compwiz18> facted: don
[02:52] <nickrud> facted, no, don't do that
[02:52] <compwiz18> facted: don
[02:53] <facted> k...not doing that
[02:53] <compwiz18> facted: don't change any of root's permissions
[02:53] <facted> no, not root's
[02:53] <compwiz18> (sry for the typo there)
[02:53] <facted> my username's
[02:53] <nickrud> facted, if you do that, you won't be able to sudo
[02:53] <facted> my main account
[02:53] <Nostahl> nickrud can you msg me that so it dosnt fly by
[02:53] <hendrixski> alrighty, I'll call him..... you guys look out for facted.... he may have created his default user with root priveledges.  Which is just asking for someone to hack into his computer
[02:53] <Shpook> hendrixski: Hmm...I always disable everything Bluetooth, without a problem. Was that the same time he started having this problem?
[02:53] <nickrud> Nostahl, what kind of video card do you have
[02:53] <Nostahl> ati allinwonder 9600xt
[02:54] <hendrixski> Shpook, it's the only thing I did... plus updates
[02:54] <hendrixski> it's a clean install
[02:54] <facted> ok, so how can I alter my account to remove root prvilidges?
[02:54] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: let us know how it goes. I'd love to know if I'm in the right neighborhood with your problem
[02:54] <hendrixski> be back after the phone call, I'll let you know how it goes
[02:54] <compwiz18> facted: that isn't your account
[02:54] <Flannel> facted: type "apt-get update"
[02:54] <Flannel> facted: Do you get a permission error?
[02:54] <Shpook> hendrixski: Yes, please let us know. Good luck.
[02:54] <disasterpiece> anyone give me a hand with raid on ubuntu? :D
[02:54] <facted> i got the update
[02:54] <facted> no permission error
[02:54] <Flannel> facted: Did you put sudo infront of it?
[02:55] <facted> i did not put sudo in front of it
[02:55] <facted> which means the account I am currently using has root privlidge (without sudo)
[02:55] <onats> is the gparted safe to resize NTFS partitions?
[02:55] <facted> correct?
[02:55] <compwiz18> facted: try this: log out, when you see the box, type your username/password (where the username isn't root) , come back here
[02:55] <facted> compqiz
[02:55] <facted> tha'ts how I logged into my account, trust me
[02:55] <Flannel> facted: type this `echo $UID` what does it return?
[02:55] <facted> i never typed in root
[02:55] <compwiz18> facted: ok :)
[02:56] <facted> echo returns 0
[02:56] <errpast> Hi, my touchpad mouse is moving around and crazy with 7.10
[02:56] <compwiz18> facted: I'm just confused how when you don't login as root, your logged in w/ uid 0
[02:56] <errpast> moves all over the place
[02:56] <errpast> Like it has a mind of its own
[02:56] <compwiz18> errpast: any weird magnetic things nearby
[02:56] <Towelboy> hey  i can't play any videos at all in ubuntu. have an ati radeon card...Anyone knows the solution?. apart from buying a new card
[02:56] <Jan`> Woo. Ubuntu live CD downloaderised.
[02:57] <errpast> compwiz18, no, not that I know of
[02:57] <Flannel> facted: well, you're certainly root then.  What folders are in /home? (ls /home)
[02:57] <facted> question: in my user settings for user privlidges for my regular account (not the root), should "Administer the system" be checked?
[02:57] <errpast> I think it's a driver thing
[02:57] <Abyssal> test
[02:57] <nickrud> Jan`, now put it in, and see the Flaming Fury :)
[02:57] <compwiz18> Towelboy: using the restricted driver?
[02:57] <errpast> probably need a touchpad driver, then to tweak xorg.conf
[02:57] <facted> I logged in to my acount with my username and password (not with root:root)
[02:57] <Abyssal> hi
[02:57] <errpast> ugggh
[02:57] <Flannel> facted: yes
[02:57] <compwiz18> errpast: mine does that sometimes, but not for that long
[02:57] <Flannel> facted: Your first user can administer the system
[02:57] <Abyssal> i got a problem
[02:57] <errpast> compwiz18, ya, it will got 10 minutes and be ok.  Then jump all over
[02:57] <facted> I see, so then the fact that I have root right now is still a very bad thing, I take it?
[02:58] <errpast> frustrating!!
[02:58] <maek> if I have an entry in my sources.list as deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ and I want to pin it, would the a= be getdeb or getdeb/  ? thanks.
[02:58] <compwiz18> errpast: yeah :(
[02:58] <Towelboy> compwiz18: no the free one...and i got compiz to work...but no video?
[02:58] <jauru> facted: echo $PS1
[02:59] <Abyssal> write me a personal message please if you feel you can help me with a driver problem
[02:59] <Flannel> facted: the fact that when you login, you somehow become root is the issue.  All systems have a root user, and their first user (the real 'user' user) has the ability to administer the system
[02:59] <facted> ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[02:59] <maek> Abyssal: you might get more help if you just put it out there, a driver problem could be anything.
[02:59] <jauru> facted: hmm
[02:59] <facted> I see
[02:59] <Shpook> Abyssal, state your problem in the room, not only will it be easier for someone to help you, it might help someone else.
[03:00] <compwiz18> Towelboy: try turning compiz off, and then try, I know I can't watch stuff while using compiz... I'm using restricted though
[03:00]  * Jan` pokes at the .iso with a stick
[03:00] <jauru> facted: looks normal is all
[03:00] <Abyssal> ok. i got a HP scanjet scanner 3800. but i do not get it running.
[03:00] <Towelboy> compwiz18: ok. will try. thanks
[03:00] <Abyssal> what can i do.
[03:00] <jauru> facted: how about 'id'
[03:00] <Flannel> facted: So, when you went about installing FF3, what did you do?
[03:00] <Abyssal> i could not find a driver.
[03:01] <facted> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[03:01] <jauru> facted: not normal...
[03:01] <Shpook> Abyssal: did you try searching google for a Linux driver?
[03:01] <jauru> facted: unless you entered 'sudo -s' at some point...
[03:01] <facted> i don't remember doing that
[03:01] <monkeyBox> How do I get the latest nvidia drivers?
[03:01] <facted> but I cannot say for sure
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: you should reinstall ubuntu man
[03:02] <facted> would there be a way to undue/check that
[03:02] <magic_ninja> is there a program to compare two text files
[03:02] <Flannel> magic_ninja: diff
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: you have something seriously screwed up
[03:02] <Shpook> You know, when I installed FF3b2, I just extracted the tarball and ran it. worked fine.
[03:02] <jauru> facted: does sound strange...
[03:02] <Flannel> magic_ninja: and various graphical versions, they probably all (at least most) have "diff" in their name.
[03:02] <jauru> facted: i assume you have already rebooted and logged in again...
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: its impossible to have your situation from a default install
[03:02] <facted> ok, how do I reinstall ubuntu? do I need to format anything or can I just run the livecd again?
[03:02] <compwiz18> facted: if you find the bash history file, it will tell you what you did, and you could put it in the pastebin...
[03:02] <Abyssal> shpook: yes sure. it says that there is a kind of hp3900-series_0.11.tar.gz driver which could help.
[03:02] <facted> i can try again
[03:03] <fever> hi .... i am trying to make a loops for parameters which shows all possible combos i cant do it.... i have read tons for faq's
[03:03] <facted> let me restart and see what happens
[03:03] <facted> be back in a minute
[03:03] <jauru> facted: ok
[03:03] <Flannel> facted: Yeah, just pop it in and reinstall.  If this is a new install, that's probably best (it'll certainly take less time/effort)
[03:03] <LjL> Flannel, magic_ninja: kompare (one that doesn't have diff in the name) is a pretty good one if you're on kde
[03:03] <Forbr4d3> facted: im just saying cuz itll probably be quicker than to figure out the problem and fix it yourself
[03:03] <initx> i
[03:03] <Flannel> LjL: krazy KDE kitizens and their kaotic knames.
[03:03] <Abyssal> shpook: a detailled description how to install it would be fine.
[03:03] <LjL> there's a gnome one which works very much like it, but the name escapes me right now
[03:03] <initx> i'm getting errors due to not specifying where tclConfig.sh
[03:03] <LjL> Flannel: bleh.
[03:03] <initx> what package gives that?
[03:04] <Towelboy> compwiz18: nope...the player still just quits. when trying to play any video...strange
[03:04] <Forbr4d3> although it would be interesting to see how it went from install to running gdm as root without knowing what he was doing
[03:04] <LjL> initx: what?
[03:04] <compwiz18> Towelboy: what player are you using?
[03:04] <Towelboy> compwiz18: mplayer
[03:04] <adz21c> Hey, what is the hardware support for the Creative X-Fi in linux like? Has anyone tested this Beta driver that they released? Is there an Opensource driver for it and is it any good?
[03:04] <compwiz18> Towelboy: maybe try vlc and see what happens?
[03:04] <initx> LjL: I'm trying to build a tcl app, and have hunted down what an error means. But I need to know where the tclConfig.sh file is
[03:05] <Abyssal> is there a how to how to install a scanner driver?
[03:05] <LjL> !find tclConfig.sh | initx
[03:05] <ubotu> initx: Package/file tclconfig.sh does not exist in gutsy
[03:05] <puhchi> bad
[03:05] <Abyssal> i got the scanner and the driver but do not know how to install the *.tar.gz file.
[03:05] <redhatFDL> Boa noite à todos! Good evening for all
[03:05] <puhchi> symantec manager
[03:05] <puhchi> ?
[03:05] <initx> you mean I have to build tcl by hand and just hope it's real?
[03:05] <korosora> hmm
[03:05] <compwiz18> Abyssal: extract the .tar.gz file
[03:05] <Towelboy> compwiz18:its the same...have tried all players now
[03:06] <initx> checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: yes directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh
[03:06] <LjL> initx: no, i mean that no matter what the stupid bot says, tclConfig.sh is provided by "tcl8.4-dev"
[03:06] <Abyssal> compwiz18: how? i need the detailed idiot version :-)
[03:06] <compwiz18> Towelboy: sounds like a problem with.... either the video libs or X
[03:06] <jauru> facted: just rebooted?
[03:06] <Shpook> Abyssal: could you send the link where you got the driver?
[03:06] <facted> back, same thing in my administator
[03:06] <Abyssal> sure
[03:06] <initx> LjL: thanks. figured it was in one of the -dev
[03:06] <facted> root@username-desktop
[03:06] <facted> so I guess I'll just reinstall :)
[03:07] <facted> thanks for everyone's help
[03:07] <jauru> facted: did you have to login or did it auto-login?
[03:07] <twitch> anyone want my 2 cents?
[03:07] <facted> I had to login
[03:07] <compwiz18> facted: do you see your username after you run this command:  cat /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1
[03:07] <facted> wait
[03:07] <jauru> facted: it does sound best. I hope you don't have any data to save on your Ubuntu box.
[03:08] <facted> in my applications, i have system tools -> root terminal
[03:08] <jauru> facted: that'll do it every time...
[03:08] <facted> is that my problem?
[03:08] <facted> i'm not actually in my root account, but i'm accessing the terminal root...
[03:08] <facted> ah ha! haha
[03:08] <facted> the things I have to learn!
[03:08] <jauru> facted: tsk, tsk, tsk.
[03:08] <Shpook> Abyssal: You can just right click the file and click "Extract" or "Extract Here" by the way
[03:08] <facted> one final question then
[03:09] <Forbr4d3> facted: if you are die hard on fixing it look at http://www.ibiblio.org/oswg/oswg-nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/gdm-reference/gdm-reference/x135.html
[03:09] <Abyssal> that was the link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150599&release_id=563378
[03:09] <green> I have a question can i have 2 users with different settings on berly and one without berly settings?
[03:09] <initx> green: yeah, with different sessions
[03:09] <Forbr4d3> and set your gdm.conf enable root to 0
[03:09] <facted> I think I screwed up firefox anyway
[03:09] <LimCore> how to protect self from user to root exploits and other local privilages escalation?
[03:09] <facted> I'm just going to reinstall
[03:09] <facted> that's going to be the easiest way
[03:09] <Abyssal> ok i extracted it. now i got a folder on my desktop
[03:09] <green> initx how about installation?
[03:09] <jauru> facted: normal terminal is ofcourse in applications/accessories/terminal
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: it you start gnome-terminal and it puts you it root
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: its not just firefox man
[03:10] <green> initx for example one user has opera install and other user does not?
[03:10] <jauru> facted: what happens if you select normal terminal?
[03:10] <novacrust> hmm
[03:10] <facted> gotcha, thanks
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> jauru: he gets root
[03:10] <disasterpiece> anyone know if i should fully install ubuntu before i setup the raid? or after?
[03:10] <compwiz18> facted: press alt+f2, then type gnome-terminal
[03:10] <facted> username@
[03:10] <facted> ;)
[03:10] <jauru> ta
[03:10] <Shpook> Abyssal: hold on one sec, I'm gonna download it and help you
[03:10] <initx> green: well, if you install it on the system everyone has it
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: whoami
[03:10] <facted> thanks for everything
[03:11] <Abyssal> shpook: i hope this driver is good enough for running HP scanjet 3800
[03:11] <jauru> facted: best of luck...
[03:11] <johnficca> I'm very confused and I need help...I got the driver for my wireless network card working(realtek rtl8185L) but I have to rerun the scripts that came with it every time I reboot...?
[03:11] <Forbr4d3> facted: you can check your firefox properties.. right click and properties
[03:11] <Towelboy> compwiz18: yeah...so should i just try changing the driver . or how do i best shoot this problem?
[03:11] <LOLJESUS> DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0
[03:11] <Forbr4d3> facted: it should say something like firefox %u for command
[03:11] <initx> green: do you just want to lock a user out of using a program?
[03:11] <vemo> ssddddddddd
[03:12] <PKdoR> does compizfusion work on 64bit ubuntu?
[03:12] <Jordan_U> PKdoR, Yes
[03:12] <compwiz18> PKdoR: yep
[03:12] <moDumass> afternoon all, so i dloaded alien arena for linux 6.10, how do i install it?
[03:12] <facted> will do, thanks
[03:12] <Jordan_U> PKdoR, Pretty much all open source applications do
[03:12] <PKdoR> how about vbox?
[03:13] <WorkingOnWis1> PKdoR: yup
[03:13] <PKdoR> ahhhghh! open source nirvana!
[03:13] <initx> moDumass: wait 60 years for the OS, first.. seriously, if it's a deb package you should just be able to double-click in file manager, it's that easy now
[03:14] <kristin> how can you get ubuntu to detect your wireless card?
[03:14] <initx> moDumass: or dpkg -i filename.deb
[03:14] <moDumass> initx yeh but i found using the one in synaptic just screwed up my system
[03:14] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, open up the terminal.
[03:14] <Abyssal> ok
[03:14] <dissection> Which card do you have kristin?
[03:14] <moDumass> it seems to be a problem with the synaptic version
[03:14] <fever> omg i did it! :)
[03:14] <Jordan_U> moDumass, What format is the installer in?
[03:15] <initx> it's a deb, just an old one, Jordan_U
[03:15] <Abyssal> terminal is open
[03:15] <Shpook> Abyssal: then your going to need to CD into the directory where you extracted the file.
[03:15] <kristin> linksys wireless g card
[03:15] <green> initx no . but thanks
[03:15] <dissection> kristin: I think it uses the broadcom chipset. You should be able to get it to work by enabling restricted drivers
[03:15] <Abyssal> directly into the new directory or just onto the desktop?
[03:15] <korosora> hey, thanks for the help on skype. i appreciate it.
[03:15] <green> initx if i wanted to install compizfusion woould i need to install anything specific to run on ubuntu?
[03:15] <Abyssal> where the folder is located
[03:15] <green> video driver / etc
[03:16] <initx> green: glxinfo | grep direct
[03:16] <kristin> dissection, how to i enable my restricted drivers?
[03:16] <Shpook> Abyssal: into the "hp3900-series_0.11" directory.
[03:16] <Abyssal> ok shpood
[03:16] <Abyssal> shpook
[03:16] <Abyssal> i did that
[03:16] <moDumass> I hate expert exchange
[03:16] <moDumass> so sneaky
[03:16] <dissection> kristin: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[03:17] <Jordan_U> green, You would need drivers that support 3D acceleration and texture_from_pixmap
[03:17] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, Forbr4d3, Shpook    :-)  yup, that did it.  logged in in safe mode and re-enabled it.
[03:17] <grout> Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[03:17] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: :D great
[03:17] <Shpook> Abyssal: now type in "sudo ./INSTALL.sh"
[03:17] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: dads happy now?
[03:17] <hendrixski> now I gotta figure out how he can watch wsx files on his browser :-/
[03:17] <Crust> hmm
[03:17] <Shpook> hendrixski: Awesome! Great.
[03:18] <zubuntu> is there a way to check if an external hdd is about to fail?
[03:18] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: what is wsx?
[03:18] <kristin> dissection, it wants me to specify where the firmware can be found, i'm really new at this, so is there a general place it should go?
[03:18] <Shpook> Abyssal: Did it start the install script?
[03:18] <Neophos> When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Is there some option in Ubuntu anywhere that regulates the transparency of windows?
[03:19] <Novacrust> hmm
[03:19] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, sort of happy.... the first thing he did was go online, and I hadn't installed flash or any codecs    ... ooops   ... but I can't play this file on here either.
[03:19] <zubuntu> the external drive makes a thumping sound every 2-5 seconds, and I can only find info on how to check in windows
[03:19] <Abyssal> shpook: yes
[03:19] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, I haven't the foggiest idea, I'll google it
[03:19] <Abyssal> there are 2 options
[03:19] <euskadi> hi
[03:19] <euskadi> got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ?
[03:19] <negativt> Is there a variable for the rownumber a function is on in Open Office Calc?
[03:19] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, you're going to want option 2, Install as SANE backend.
[03:19] <Abyssal> standalone application or SANE backend
[03:19] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: look into the mediubuntu repos for all the codecs he should need
[03:19] <Abyssal> ok
[03:20] <Abyssal> then ubuntu...
[03:20] <Shpook> Abyssal: Yes.
[03:20] <Jordan_U> hendrixski, What happens when you try to open it in totem?
[03:20] <hendrixski> wow, exact same problem as this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164985
[03:20] <Abyssal> shpook: and then the installation was succesfully it says.
[03:20] <hendrixski> Jordan_U, it says there's not input plugin
[03:21] <kenro> Hey. Y'all know how Synaptic PM is now specifying certain pkg as 'local or obselete'?
[03:21] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, now you're going to have to restart.
[03:21] <Abyssal> the whole computer?
[03:21] <Shpook> Abyssal: No, just X. Just log out and log back in.
[03:21] <dissection> kristin: So the card shows up there? If you enable it, I think it should download the required firmware
[03:22] <Jordan_U> kenro, I would think that means that it is a package which is not currently available in any of the repositories you have enabled
[03:22] <Abyssal> ok CU in a minute!
[03:22] <Abyssal> ok?
[03:22] <At0mic_PC> How can I capture the sound comming from my speakers?
[03:22] <Shpook> Abyssal: Ok, I'll be here for about 10 more minutes. :-)
[03:22] <kristin> dissection, it did and i downloaded it, now it wants me to put it the firmware somewhere so it can be found
[03:22] <At0mic_PC> Like if I'm playing a movie and want to capture the sound.
[03:22]  * duct_tape slaps mans0n around a bit with a large trout
[03:23] <jacob_> what's the successor of binary language?
[03:23] <kenro> Jordan_U: Ah, so don't take it for granted it isn't a necessary pkg...
[03:23] <Jordan_U> At0mic_PC, That will be so much easier with pulseaudio in 8.04
[03:23] <crazedCrazed> I used mount --bind on two directories. Now I cant umount the directory any ideas?
[03:23] <astro76> jacob_, binary isn't a language, it's a number base
[03:23] <mans0n> anybody know how to install flash player in ubuntu 7.10?
[03:23] <compwiz18> crazedCrazed: you unmount both binded dirs?
[03:23] <mans0n> thanks.
[03:23] <Jordan_U> !flash | mans0n
[03:23] <ubotu> mans0n: 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
[03:23] <jacob_> astro76 i meant to say machine language, or is there not?
[03:23] <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.
[03:23] <Forbr4d3> crazedCrazed: can your force the umount?
[03:24] <Abyssal> hello again
[03:24] <Forbr4d3> crazedCrazed: if not reboot
[03:24] <crazedCrazed> ok
[03:24] <mans0n> Thank you. :)
[03:24] <L33tMasta> I'm thinking of switching to Ubuntu
[03:24] <kristin> dissection, i think actually i've got to choose to download it from the internet? is that for the drivers?
[03:24] <Abyssal> shpook: what now. i just logged out and reentered
[03:24] <At0mic_PC> Jordan_U: Will be?
[03:24] <crazedCrazed> ill try and force it
[03:24] <kenro> Jordan_U: I was asking a question, there...
[03:24]  * duct_tape pokes mans0n
[03:24] <L33tMasta> But before I make the switch I have a couple of questions
[03:24] <euskadi> got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ?
[03:25] <rm-rf> is there anyway to generate a new uuid for a disk?
[03:25] <astro76> jacob_, this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[03:25] <jacob_> astro76 thanks
[03:25] <jacob_> anyways
[03:25] <Abyssal> SHPOOK?
[03:25] <Jordan_U> kenro, Yes, if it's not available in main then it probably isn't a "necessary" package
[03:25] <jacob_> :)
[03:25] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, as away
[03:25] <hendrixski> ask*
[03:25] <Shpook> I hate not remembering which nvidia driver I use
[03:26] <L33tMasta> The main thing preventing me from switching is my games. Will I be able to play Crysis on Ubuntu?
[03:26] <euskadi> how use a virtual webcam in ubuntu ?
[03:26] <initx> rm-rf: afaict uuids aren't supposed to collide
[03:26] <Abyssal> hello shpook
[03:26] <Jordan_U> Shpook, For the most part Restricted Manager should deal with that for you
[03:26] <rm-rf> initx: well, funny thing :)
[03:26] <initx> rm-rf: not sure you can manually set it, doubt it.. and there's little reason
[03:26] <kenro> Jordan_U: It's asking me if I want to go ahead and de-install KDE and Gimp.
[03:26] <rm-rf> i cloned my / disk with acronis, but i'm leaving the old disk in the system
[03:26] <Shpook> Abyssal: Hello Abyssal. Have you tried scanning something yet?
[03:26] <Abyssal> shpook: what can i do next?
[03:27] <initx> rm-rf: so now the uuids are the same?
[03:27] <Abyssal> no. how? which programm shall i use.
[03:27] <Shpook> Jordan_U: Restricted Manager always installs the wrong driver lol.
[03:27] <rm-rf> initx: yep
[03:27] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, I don't know at all but I doubt that you will be able to play crysis on Ubuntu for a while
[03:27] <Abyssal> sane?
[03:27] <L33tMasta> Will my DirectX10 card be supported?
[03:27] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, probably, there's something called cedega which allows you to play windows games on Linux... if not, you can still dual boot and use windows for gaming and Linux for all of your serious stuff like office, web, programming, etc.
[03:27] <Shpook> Abyssal: Yes, SANE.
[03:27] <initx> rm-rf: let me see if there's a way to regenerate one. might be a real problem
[03:27] <PKdoR> any body know if vbox is compatible with vmware VM's?
[03:27] <Neophos> When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Its not the transparency that's off (I can only make it even less visible that way), so any ideas?
[03:27] <L33tMasta> Well I want to make a total switch
[03:28] <Abyssal> i was able to choose that new device but error occured while trying to open the device.
[03:28] <Jordan_U> Neophos, Are you using compiz?
[03:28] <Abyssal> hp3900:libusb:005:004
[03:28] <rm-rf> initx: thx
[03:28] <Abyssal> access denied.
[03:28] <dissection> kristin: So it doesn't yet say the driver is enabled?
[03:28] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, :-) just download it at ubuntu.com   and burn an ISO.   It's not like burning a regular CD, you need a program to burn disk images
[03:28] <kenro> PKdoR: Is vbox any good?
[03:29] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: is it possible that wsx is just a wrapper for wmv? i would try to download one of these videos and change the extention to wmv and see if u can fake totem or firefox into playing it that way.
[03:29] <L33tMasta> Well I know how do burn ISOs. I do it all from Windows Vista
[03:29] <kristin> dissection, it says that it is enabled
[03:29] <L33tMasta> withNero
[03:29] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, then it's as easy as putting that CD in the drive and booting up, and then clicking "install" and in a half hour BANG, you've got a brand new operating system that knocks your socks off
[03:29] <Shpook> Abyssal: This might be out of my range. Let me see if I can find anything on google.
[03:29] <Abyssal> ok.
[03:29] <L33tMasta> But will it support my DX10 8800GTX
[03:29] <Abyssal> thank you for your help.
[03:29] <initx> rm-rf: try vol_id --probe-all
[03:29] <kenro> PKdoR: vbox is a virtual machine, correct?
[03:29] <PKdoR> kenro: im trying to find out but it looks very promising
[03:29] <L33tMasta> Because I heard DX10 is vista only
[03:29] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, that's what I thought... but I can play wmv's on my computer... yet I can't play the wsx... which, I think you're right, is a wrapper of some sort
[03:29] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, If new DirectX games are important to you then you probably can't switch to Ubuntu ( or any other Linux distro ) at the moment
[03:29] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: its winter time..his feet will get cold
[03:29] <Shpook> Abyssal: No problem.
[03:29] <Abyssal> i am a new ubuntu user you see. i mean linux at all.
[03:30] <PKdoR> kenro: yes just like vmware
[03:30] <dirkg3nt1y> any mods here?
[03:30] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, Completely switch that is
[03:30] <duct_tape> LOLWUT
[03:30] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  Yes, or at least it's installed by default
[03:30] <Shpook> Abyssal: It's okay, we were all new once.
[03:30] <L33tMasta> Do any distros of Linux support DX10?
[03:30] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: it is either a wrapper or some form of drm, in which case u are out of luck atm in Linux
[03:30] <Aondo> i think games not working in linux/mac (with opengl) isnt worth playing :D
[03:30] <dirkg3nt1y> no forum mods?
[03:30] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  I couldn't change the transparency levels to less bright through that, though
[03:31] <Jordan_U> Neophos, Try disabling it temporarily in System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[03:31] <rm-rf> initx: what output should i expect from that?
[03:31] <PKdoR> any body here use vbox?
[03:31] <cabrioleur> L33tMasta: Direct X is Vista only, but it has nothing to do with using it. It's just the software side. Your card will run well.
[03:31] <rm-rf> initx: i'm getting a usage error if i don't specify a device, but i'm not sure which device to specify
[03:31] <kenro> PKdoR: I'll hafta check that out. Looking for good vpn progs.
[03:31] <pteague> virtualbox?
[03:31] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, yeah...most likely  but how do I explain that to my dad...  I can't find any literature online about it
[03:32] <PKdoR> can I se VMware VM images on vbox?
[03:32] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  Ah, that solved it. Thanks a lot!
[03:32] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: does dads puter have the horsepower to run win2000 in virtualbox?
[03:32] <initx> rm-rf: that's not it. try sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/device
[03:32] <crdlb> Neophos: did you add a window matching rule to make your menus translucent?
[03:32] <L33tMasta> Well I know it's software only, but everyone goes around saying Linux can play games I thought I might try it out
[03:32] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: as for splainin it to dad...um...does the vid play in Windows Media Player?
[03:33] <initx> rm-rf: where device is one you want to change
[03:33] <Jordan_U> Neophos, You should still be able to use Blender with compiz, just ask in ##compiz now that you know that is where the problem is
[03:33] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, it's dual booting... but the brand new wireless card I got him is acting up
[03:33] <Neophos> crdlb -  None that I know off
[03:33] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: in windows or ubuntu or both?
[03:33] <crdlb> Neophos: do you have ccsm installed? (Advanced Desktop Effects Settings)
[03:33] <disasterpiece> have a question about raiding in ubuntu
[03:34] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  I was able to use Blender a few days ago with compiz still active, but well, I'm not really bothered by having it turned off, so if it fixes the problem, I'm content
[03:34] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: what kind of wireless card?
[03:34] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, in windows... ironically.  It works in Ubuntu with no problem, he somehow can't get it to connect on Windows.
[03:34] <rm-rf> initx: tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc
[03:34] <cabrioleur> L33tMasta: wine/cedega is just trying to cheat the games that openGL is DirectX, and makes some modifications in runtime. Beside it does have support for direct x, especially cedega, but for 10 it's still not that great. In general, at least 50% of games will run.
[03:34] <dmb> whats it mean if it says upgrade version 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1 to 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1?
[03:34] <Neophos> crdlb -  Nope, don't think so
[03:34] <dmb> its like a infinite upgrade
[03:34] <initx> Neophos: lots of times that's been the suggestion for fixing something, but it's never worked for me
[03:34] <magic_ninja> !alien
[03:34] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:34] <Shpook> Abyssal: I'm sorry, I can't seem to find anything, and my time has run out.
[03:34] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: i love those problems, but they are the exception...
[03:34] <hendrixski> Forbr4d3, Belking wireless-g... but I don't care about the card.  it works in Ubuntu,  if it doesn't work in Windows, whatever he'll use Ubuntu instead.... and we're better off
[03:35] <Abyssal> shpook. ok. thank you for your help anyway.
[03:35] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, lol, yeah.
[03:35] <Abyssal> bye. cu
[03:35] <Onyx> Where does wine keep its DLL files?
[03:35] <Shpook> Can someone help Abyssal get his HP scanner working through SANE, if they have the time?
[03:35] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: download the drivers off thier website
[03:35] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: can he run windows in virtualbox?
[03:35] <initx> rm-rf: i believe each partition has a uuid
[03:35] <kenro> cabrioleur: Is that 50 % of a game, or half the games?
[03:35] <cabrioleur> magic_ninja: funny, apt has nothing to do with rpms or _deb_s. Ubotu is wrong :-)
[03:36] <initx> rm-rf: so youd do for instance tune2fs -U random /dev/sdc1
[03:36] <Kyle_> I'm having trouble making my pvr150 work in gutsy
[03:36] <rm-rf> initx: ah, ok. one sec
[03:36] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, he can... but I doubt he wants to install windows if he's already dual booting... that takes like 3 hours
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: do you have native ubuntu drivers or are you using ndis wrapper?
[03:36] <Shpook> Abyssal: You're welcome, sorry I can't see you through to the end. Good luck.
[03:36] <cabrioleur> kenro: 50% will run well, others so so, and some at all.
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> 3 hours?
[03:36] <Onyx> Where does wine keep its DLL files?
[03:36] <hendrixski> Forbr4d3, native.  it just worked out of the box  :-)  very sweet if you ask me
[03:36] <Shpook> hendrixski: Glad your dad's computer is working. Take care.
[03:36] <initx> rm-rf: I now doubled my hard disk space with a 4gb flash drive, had to mess with uuid and stuff today
[03:36] <Shpook> Bye everyone.
[03:36] <hendrixski> Shpook, yup, now if only those wsx files cooperated
[03:36] <hendrixski> later
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: good
[03:37] <johnficca> I need to get my realtek wireless card (rtl8185L) to work at boot what should I do
[03:37] <rm-rf> initx: nice
[03:37] <kenro> cabrioleur:  Coz in truth, I've only ever got 50% of any one game to run. Might be that I had an older compile...
[03:37] <rm-rf> initx: when i run that command, it comes back with the tune2fs version. did it now create a new uuid for me?
[03:37] <johnficca> I have to run two of the scripts that come with the driver to get it going after a reboot
[03:37] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: windows in a vm would eliminate the need to dual boot, and there is a way to boot the native install in virtualbox, but it is wayyy geek sheek... I did it for a while till i wiped everything and installed ubuntu only, and windows as just a vm.
[03:37] <disasterpiece> need some help with setting up raid in ubuntu, anyone have any knowledge to spare? ;d
[03:37] <initx> rm-rf: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

[03:38] <Jordan_U> !raid | disasterpiece
[03:38] <ubotu> disasterpiece: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[03:38] <cabrioleur> kenro: check the game status on wine website. Sometimes you will have to modify the setup a little bit in order to run the game.
[03:38] <rromanchuk> fucked up my sudoers
[03:38] <initx> rm-rf: if one's the same, it did nothing. otherwise all's good
[03:38] <rm-rf> initx: no love, it's still the same uuid
[03:38] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: but if he can, that will solve his wifi problem and wsx problem
[03:38] <cabrioleur> rromanchuk: man sudoers
[03:38] <nevoeiro> hello. the process "ksoftirqd" is consuming between 20-25% of cpu. why?
[03:38] <rm-rf> could i possible call the disk out in grub with root=/dev/sdc1, instead of root=UUID?
[03:39] <cabrioleur> nevoeiro: a bug :-)
[03:39] <nevoeiro> :(
[03:39] <rromanchuk> cabrioleur: its a access problem now, should i boot recovery for root?
[03:39] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, that's true... or I guess he can set up VMware to run his windows partition as a virtual machine
[03:39] <disasterpiece> yes ubotu, I followed the directions 5. but it still doesn't see the drives as stipped when i install. i'm completely new to this by the way
[03:39] <initx> rm-rf: does it also give the bad magic number error?
[03:39] <kenro> cabrioleur: Anyone still providing the cedega src for free? Or, God forbid, is a gpl bnary available?
[03:39] <LimCore> how to have /etc/init.d/dnsmasq_tor  executed right after S15dnsmasq and S20tor ?
[03:39] <nevoeiro> cabri: and when it is preditected a fix?...
[03:39] <rm-rf> initx: no
[03:39] <disasterpiece> perhaps i am doing something wrong?
[03:40] <cabrioleur> rromanchuk: you can do it this way, and remount in rw, or you can fix it from the live CD.
[03:40] <rm-rf> initx: did you see my other query above?
[03:40] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, anyways.  Thanks for the help.  I'm gonna poke around at the wsx thing a little bit more, and then we'll have him totally transitioned to Ubuntu... so then he won't care if he can't get the wireless to work on windows.
[03:40] <initx> rm-rf: the drive is unmounted, right?
[03:40] <Jordan_U> disasterpiece, Are you setting up a new Array or do you need to read one which has already been setup?
[03:40] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: never used vmware, but that should work. I love getting ppl off windows, even if it means dogging out ubuntu to run windows  ocasionally  :)
[03:40] <cabrioleur> kenro: they do have cedega src, but compilation is a pain (never succeeded in debian/ubuntu)
[03:40] <rromanchuk> cabrioleur: thx
[03:40] <initx> rm-rf: yes, but wanted to know if the one returning just the version number threw an error
[03:40] <|_James_Bond_|> HI PPL
[03:40] <nevoeiro> cabrioleur: and when it is preditected a fix?...
[03:41] <disasterpiece> Jordan_U, it was set up previously with windows.
[03:41] <rm-rf> initx: no, it is not. it is currently mounted as /

[03:41] <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.
[03:41] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, yep,  we're all fighting the good fight here... to get people off of windows :-)
[03:41] <kenro> cabrioleur:  actually, I did it once. Then lost my comp and when I got back I couldn't find cedega.

[03:43] <Jordan_U> disasterpiece, You are setting up a new array if you have new blank HDDs or are going to reformat them, in which case it would be easier to do true soft-raid, but that does not seem to be the case for you

[04:10] <starry> hi all
[04:10] <Sepheebear> initx, rm-rf: im not sure tune2fs works on non-ext(2,3) partitions
[04:11] <rm-rf> initx: is it necessary to have swap listed by uuid in /etc/fstab, or can i just put it in as /dev/sdc5
[04:11] <katharos> ok, question, last time i used this bt878 capture card, it worked out of the box, now i have no /dev/video0 i assume because the card wasn't in when i installed ubuntu.
[04:11] <katharos> How do i set it up?
[04:11] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: that makes sense
[04:11] <initx> rm-rf: nothing MUST be listed by uuid
[04:11] <crossen> katharos, for the love of god....please do a walk through....i can usually do this...
[04:11] <Sepheebear> rm-rf: swap can be declared both ways
[04:12] <romistrub> hmm... anybody know potential reasons why ubu isn't detecting my external HDD?
[04:12] <Sepheebear> rm-rf: UUID just makes it so that the drive is identified correctly should the drive number change
[04:12] <KlrSpz> rm-rf: you can list by device block
[04:13] <romistrub> is this channel dead? :|
[04:14] <magic_ninja> i think so
[04:14] <subverso> i think so
[04:14] <subverso> hehe
[04:14] <crushin_> romistrub . 7.10 does that to me to . If I reboot or sometimes pull and replace the usb .. it pix it up . did you try that?
[04:14] <magic_ninja> i have a program calling for the python module gdlpixbuf and its not in /usr/bin/python2.4 how can i find what package its located in
[04:14] <katharos> crossen, go to the usb in the terminal and type 'chown -R myusername *'
[04:15] <subverso> anyone knows if ubuntu 7.10 has any firewall enable by default?
[04:15] <crushin_> 7.10 just the iptables
[04:15] <katharos> crossen, the usb should be in /media/
[04:15] <crushin_> subverso firestarter is a good 1 sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:15] <darkblue_B> does formatting existing swap space, as swap space, disturb a boot disk? I am booted on the install CD. it wants to format not only the swap partition of ht enew HD, but also of my existing boot disk internal
[04:16] <dan2> I can install ubuntu from a livecd right?

[04:16] <dan2> k, thanks
[04:17] <subverso> crushin_, dont know why i've made the port tests and the udp is blocked
[04:17] <romistrub> crushin_: works now... I wonder why it does that
[04:17] <katharos> crossen, cool, i'll just wait until someone answers my question... sigh...

[04:18] <katharos> does anyone have any idea how to set up a tv tuner card?

[04:21] <Jordan_U> magic_ninja, Name one application that needs it ( I want to see If I get the same error )
[04:21] <katharos> crossen, this time i've added it after installing ubuntu and i dont know how to set it up
[04:21] <pteague> hmm... install ubuntu-server & then the desktop... or just install ubuntu... ?
[04:21] <katharos> there should be a /dev/video0 but there isn't
[04:21] <starry> hm.. does anyone know how to import the tiling module for gdesklets? mine times out while connecting, saying that it can't import the tiling module

[04:23] <tuntun> Hi. I was wondering how I could download all the updates for gutsy for the purpose of offline updating multiple machines?
[04:23] <subverso> crushin_, iptables -L

[04:23] <subverso> crushin_, no rules...
[04:24] <intelikey> what is the ubuntu/debian alternative to the "service" command ?
[04:24] <darkblue_B> ok, I stopped thwe iinstall. I have unplugged the nternal drives and and started over. Much better safe than sorry
[04:24] <KlrSpz> tuntun: when you update one pc, the deb packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/

[04:26] <katharos> crossen, well, it's possible, it's just a pain in the butt. And i'll probably learn more this way :)
[04:26] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear:thanx, i'm looking now
[04:26] <subverso> crushin_, my kad is showin firewalled...
[04:26] <KlrSpz> yes you can use ssd, but it's just as easy to do it the global way
[04:26] <pteague> vmware server (or virtualbox) + windows + directx ... would this allow you to play certain games that just don't work very well under wine/cedega?
[04:26] <intelikey> s/keradi/kerspz/ nick completion error
[04:27] <KlrSpz> pteague, incorrect
[04:27] <starry> test
[04:27] <KlrSpz> directx will not install in either vmware server or v-box
[04:27] <pteague> didn't think so :(
[04:27] <KlrSpz> vmware fusion just came out for mac that WILL however use the native graphics card, but it's not out for linux (and i'm not sure if it ever will be?)
[04:27] <intelikey> KlrSpz ok  what's the iptables command to store the settings ?
[04:28] <KlrSpz> iptables-save
[04:28] <intelikey> ^ = service iptables save ?

[04:28] <Thug-life> hi la
[04:28] <Thug-life> lawl
[04:28] <Thug-life> lu
[04:28] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, There has been beta hardware acceleration in VMware for Linux since before VMware-fusion existed :)
[04:28] <lawl> hello friends
[04:28] <extracted> I know this really isnt a ubuntu question but would some one mind looking at my subnetting i just did and tell me if i am doing it right ?
[04:29] <lawl> allah came to me in a dream and told me to visit this channel
[04:29] <pteague> Jordan_U> how hard is that to get?
[04:29] <buzzsaw> i am running ubuntu on vmware fusion and just upgraded to version 1.1 and it seems to have broken my internet
[04:29] <KlrSpz> Jordan_U: 3d accel?
[04:29] <lawl> i am not sure what i am meant to be doing here
[04:29] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, IIRC you can't really play any new games with either yet, though things may have changed
[04:29] <crushin_> !vmware
[04:29] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[04:29] <buzzsaw> does any one have experience running ubuntu in a vmware?
[04:29] <KlrSpz> i'm not impressed at all with gutsy
[04:29] <Johnny_5> aloha all!!
[04:29] <extracted> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/       did i subnet this address correctly or am I making an error somewhere ?
[04:30] <KlrSpz> in fact, i'm rather disgusted by it.. if i had the patience i'd go back to feisty
[04:30] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: Looking in 'Add/remove apps' has turned up the promising APTonCD, described as "Tool for the creation of a CD-based repository containing all packages downloaded via apt-get. Helpful for a post-installation on several machines or a simple backup method to re-install the system."
[04:30] <Johnny_5> got an interesting ?...
[04:30] <KlrSpz> tuntun: cool.. yeah you could do that i guess
[04:30] <Sepheebear> intelikey: man iptables-save
[04:30] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, pteague This guide seems out of date but just to show that it is possible: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84344
[04:30] <pteague> Jordan_U> heh, i'm not really interested in much of the new stuff... most of what i want to play is probably '02 or older... & stuff i just can't get to work on wine or cedega
[04:31] <KlrSpz> if i can play bf2, i'm happy :)
[04:31] <extracted> any one ?
[04:31] <pteague> cool, thanks Jordan_U
[04:31] <intelikey> KlrSpz  chkconfig -list  == ?
[04:32] <Johnny_5> just built a comp out of old used components
[04:33] <Johnny_5> for some reason we keep getting errors and x won't fire up
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Nothing wrong with that..
[04:33] <KlrSpz> intelikey: huh
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Does it boot to the livecd ok?
[04:33] <Jordan_U> Johnny_5, Even in "safe graphics mode" ?
[04:34] <intelikey> KlrSpz i'm not familear with upstart   how do you list what is set to start on boot up ?
[04:34] <Anubyss> anyone can point me to a site or book that is best to learn linux that relates to ubunto, thanks
[04:34] <extracted> will some one look at this thread and tell me if i did the subnetting correctly ?     http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/
[04:34] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: thanks to that bug report, i now have swap entered in fstab with a uuid. thanks again.
[04:34] <Johnny_5> it boots up to the startup menu, but the when i hit enter to boot up and install that's when i get the errors
[04:34] <intelikey> KlrSpz i'm converting a doc to ubuntu'ish from redhat'ish
[04:35] <Johnny_5> i haven't tried it in safe mode
[04:35] <groovesalad> i ran "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /disk2 -0 force" to copy files from a windows hd, i also added a line to fstab, i deleted the line now that im done, but now it logs out as soon as i log in. i forgot to umount it, and i no longer have the drive. what should i do?
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: Is it a Dell MB?
[04:35] <Johnny_5> no
[04:35] <KlrSpz> intelikey: look at the /etc/rcN.d folders, where N is a runlevel
[04:35] <Johnny_5> asus
[04:35] <Strangework> gThumb always seems to play .gif's a lot faster than it should, how can I fix this?
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: At start or install hit F6  then try typing noapic on the boot line.
[04:36] <intelikey> KlrSpz oh does upstart still use those links ?
[04:36] <KlrSpz> yeah
[04:36] <intelikey> k ty
[04:36] <dirkg3nt1y> Strangework: try looking at man gthumb
[04:36] <dan2> am I supposed to see a black screen on installation that lasts more than 20 seconds
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or  all_generic_ide      are other options you can try..
[04:36] <Strangework> dirkg3nt1y, excuse me?
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: some can last way longer than that if you have a slow machine or low ram.
[04:37] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: this is T61P
[04:37] <pteague> sweet... Jordan_U, you rock
[04:37] <dan2> jack-desktop: 3 ghz core 2 duo iirc
[04:37] <dirkg3nt1y> Strangework: open the terminal in the Menu under ... accesories and type that
[04:37] <dan2> with nvidia graphics
[04:37] <jack-desktop> dan2: what?
[04:37] <Johnny_5> a couple of the pins were bent on the processor so i had to try to bend them back...could that be the prob??
[04:37] <_fuujin_> =O
[04:37] <extracted> would some one mind looking at this post i made and tell me if i did the subnetting correctly ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/
[04:37] <dan2> jack-desktop: sorry
[04:38] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: ^^^^^^^
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: not if it boot to the start or install menu
[04:38] <Strangework> dirkg3nt1y, thank you. :)
[04:38] <jack-desktop> dan2: ;p
[04:39] <dan2> ewwww
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: assuming you have more than 256 megs you may end up using the alternate install cd
[04:39] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: I got 2G of ram in here
[04:39] <extracted> no one,
[04:39] <intelikey> ok what script starts iptables ?
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: that was for johnny
[04:39] <katharos> extracted, i don't know much about subnetting but cant you try it out and see what happens?
[04:39] <crushin_> extracted . sum1 will look
[04:39] <intelikey> or rather loads the rules ?
[04:39] <KlrSpz> intelikey: i think the kernel
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> gotta run... goodnight all.
[04:40] <crushin_> be well Jack_Sparrow \
[04:40] <KlrSpz> but iptables-restore pulls bck in the rules
[04:40] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: so how do I boot to the install menu
[04:40] <initx> I use the alternate install regardless, even though some people say it's a bit slower
[04:40] <extracted> i am sure i am doing it wrong because the ending address is 263 wich is over the range but idk.
[04:40] <Johnny_5> k
[04:40] <intelikey> KlrSpz ok so i'll have to add that to rc.local or something i guess
[04:40] <KlrSpz> right
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: if you dont get to start or install do you get any error.. often you need to verify the md5 or burn very slowly.
[04:41] <Onyx> vmware is the shit.
[04:41] <Onyx> ack, wrong channel
[04:41] <guest_> hello is anyone there??
[04:41] <guest_> ok
[04:42] <Onyx> guest_: What's up?
[04:42] <guest_> so can anyone get pokerTH to work?  I get errors about missing libraries
[04:42] <guest_> Hi Onyx, just trying to get my texas hold 'em fix
[04:42] <Onyx> guest_: Did you install it via synaptic?
[04:42] <Sepheebear> intelikey: unless you really have good reason to get deep into iptables, you might want to check out something like firehol that generates rules and helps you load them up at boot
[04:43] <guest_> no Onyx, it's a non-standard package.  I downloaded a linux installer
[04:43] <RevTom> is there a newer list than this? http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html
[04:43] <katharos> anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install?
[04:43] <Sepheebear> intelikey: aptitude show firehol
[04:43] <dirkg3nt1y> intelikey: also too, I saw a good guide at the arch linux wiki
[04:43] <sigra> anyone know how to use gconfig-editor to change the main menu icon?
[04:43] <Onyx> guest_: It's in synaptic...
[04:43] <xal1> Hi
[04:43] <Onyx> guest_: Try to give that method a shot first as it'll get all your dependencies and stuff for you.
[04:43] <guest_> Onyx, oh, ok.  So I should be able to do "sudo apt-get install pokerTH"?
[04:44] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:44] <katharos> extracted, I wish i could help you, but i have no idea. don't suppose you know stuff about installing video capture drivers?
[04:44] <Onyx> guest_: pokerth
[04:44] <Sepheebear> intelikey: oh and the closest thing in ubuntu to chkconfig is update-rc.d
[04:44] <extracted> not really :(
[04:44] <guest_> Onyx: says it couldn't find it.  I'm on 6/04 LTS I think, maybe it's too old-school
[04:44] <kaper> hi, i wonder how can prevent 1 user to change his password? it's possible or not? I think no but any idea? please
[04:45] <Onyx> guest_: The application list should be universal though?
[04:45] <guest_> kaper you could try to put him in his own group that can't access the command?
[04:45] <Onyx> Why not update your system anyhow?
[04:45] <tubetopbaby> howdy all
[04:45] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:45] <biff420> anyone get quake4 demo loaded in ubuntu?
[04:45] <guest_> Onyx I'm too scared to update - one previous distro it didn't work
[04:45] <guest_> screwed my system up real bad
[04:45] <ploom> intelikey, network manager can also load your iptables
[04:45] <tubetopbaby> how do you turn off IPv6?
[04:45] <Onyx> guest_: Ahh, well... gutsy is pretty nice :)
[04:45] <ploom> intelikey, there is a wiki entry also...
[04:46] <Johnny_5> so would the pins b a prob?
[04:46] <kaper> guest, thanks. other way to do this?
[04:46] <katharos> anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install?
[04:46] <guest_> ok Onyx.  I'll give this synaptic thing a go.  I always feel decadent when I leave the command line
[04:46] <tresaa> exit
[04:46] <Sepheebear> intelikey: oh yeah https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[04:47] <ploom> guest_, gutsy really is nice. Just dont forget to uninstall/clean easyubuntu and other possible customizations first
[04:47] <Onyx> guest_: heh, I know what you're talking about.  I used Slackware from Slackware 7 to Slackware 10.
[04:47] <Sepheebear> katharos: what hardware are you trying to setup?
[04:47] <At0mic_P1> wow
[04:47] <dan2> xubuntu looks slick
[04:47] <crushin_> kaper I think you can prevent a user from chpass by editing /etc/pam.d/login'
[04:47] <KlrSpz> dan2: <3 xubuntu
[04:47] <guest_> ploom what's easyubuntu?
[04:47] <KlrSpz> way lighter than gnome
[04:47] <dan2> gnome blows
[04:47] <At0mic_P1> The hoops you have to jump through just to get a sound from a movie as a ringtone lol
[04:47] <dan2> I prefer kde over gnome any day of the week
[04:47] <Johnny_5> i use enlightenment
[04:47] <KlrSpz> ugh, i hate both
[04:47] <dan2> I'll take xfce over gnome too
[04:47] <KlrSpz> xfce ftw
[04:47] <ploom> guest_, do not worry in case you do not know. default installation of ubuntu upgrades just fine
[04:47] <guest_> lol Atomic_p1, I want to do that too, with some anchor man quotes
[04:48] <katharos> Sepheebear, a tv tuner card
[04:48] <hatter_> which package do i need for gnutls/openssl.h ?
[04:48] <guest_> ok ploom, one of these days I'll backup my system and upgrade.
[04:48] <At0mic_P1> guest_: I'm doing supertroopers.
[04:48] <dirkg3nt1y> I find the only thing in xfce thats really lighter is thunar
[04:48] <At0mic_P1> "I am all that is man!"
[04:48] <ploom> guest_, you can beat me in case it does not end up well
[04:48] <guest_> ok ploom
[04:48] <Sepheebear> katharos: what kind? there might/might not be a driver for it
[04:48] <katharos> Sepheebear, i've used it before and it was all set up when i installed ubuntu, this time i added the card after installing and i don't have a /dev/video0
[04:49] <zero88> ok, so im learning about john the ripper and was wondering how would i encrypt a password, and what software should i use
[04:49] <katharos> Sepheebear, there must be a driver and it must work under gutsy, as i have used it before
[04:49] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: what packages get saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/? eg I dont want nvtune being installed on an ati system.
[04:49] <RevTom> so... xubuntu is ubuntu for old computers?
[04:49] <KlrSpz> i LOVE vnc!
[04:50] <dan2> xubuntu is ubuntu for people who don't want gnome bloat
[04:50] <KlrSpz> tuntun: all packages you download
[04:50] <Rattts> someone is connected to my wireless router even though i dont know them. i have security enable....i want to do something to them. any ideas?
[04:50] <Sepheebear> tuntun: any package you install is saved there until you delete it
[04:50] <nickrud> RevTom, yes, and for people who don't enjoy simplicity ;)

[04:50] <ploom> dan2,  xubuntu runs just fine on modern hardware also

[04:50] <jameswf-home> !!
[04:50] <Sepheebear> katharos: what kind of vid card is it? im guessing the v4l v4l2 stuff isnt getting loaded
[04:50] <Onyx> guest_: why are you running as root??
[04:51] <Sepheebear> oh i see
[04:51] <hatter_> katharos, i just used an 878 chipset card
[04:51] <guest_> onyx, I thought i had to to install it?  I mean with sudo
[04:51] <katharos> hatter_, yeah, i've used it before and it works fine
[04:51] <KlrSpz> unravel: on a fresh install we're talking ~200mb of ram used for ubuntu vs ~40mb of ram used for xubuntu.. i think the difference is obvious
[04:51] <kaper> thank crushin_ it's not easy
[04:51] <hatter_> mine is working on gutsy
[04:51] <KlrSpz> as i illustrated today to a co-worker
[04:51] <Onyx> guest_: Yeah, thought you meant you were logged in as root...
[04:51] <crushin_> kaper I can post a thread that may help you if you like
[04:51] <hatter_> i use tvtime to test it
[04:51] <KlrSpz> hatter_: i got my masquerading figured out
[04:52] <hatter_> KlrSpz, ah, good job
[04:52] <RevTom> so i've had ubuntu installed on the system i set up to watch videos for a couple of days now, and i'm wondering if i should just switch to xp...
[04:52] <DragonSpirit> I am curious how could I make it so this is not possible: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html
[04:52] <intelikey> KlrSpz hmmm so this script iptables-save and iptables-restore read and write to stdout only ?
[04:52] <katharos> hatter_, the only difference between now and when i used it before, is that it's on a new motherboard and i added the card after i installed gusty instead of before
[04:52] <KlrSpz> hatter_: seemed that i actually had to set my gateway/dns to the external LAN gateway, which is odd sine i used different subnets
[04:52] <kaper> crushin_, no no think i just wonder because someone ask me this question. After i google i can't get the result
[04:52] <intelikey> stdin/stdout ^
[04:52] <KlrSpz> intelikey: yes, you can dump it to a file and read it back in on boot
[04:52] <kaper> thanks*
[04:52] <unravel> KlrSpz: the difference isnt obvious, the difference is relative.
[04:52] <hatter_> katharos, shoudnlt matter
[04:52] <hatter_> lspci shows it ?
[04:53] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: hmm, why insn't nvclock there?
[04:53] <katharos> hatter_, yep
[04:53] <KlrSpz> hatter_: but other than that, apparently i've had the right things in there a while
[04:53] <RevTom> it's not working w/ my live! card for 5.1, doesn't recognize my bt dongle and i can't seem to find anything that will tell me which cheap dongle to buy
[04:53] <hatter_> ls -Ral /dev/video*
[04:53] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, you can give grub a password, I'd suggest the bios password instead. If someone has access to your machine, your disks are an open book
[04:53] <KlrSpz> tuntun: in where?
[04:53] <guest_> ok onyx, pokerth definitely isn't on the list.  It just came up on the left cause that's what I searched for.
[04:53] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything
[04:53] <guest_> damn.
[04:53] <intelikey> KlrSpz yeah but is there not a default settings file any place ?
[04:53] <KlrSpz> no, by default there are no rules
[04:53] <tuntun> KlrSpz: /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:53] <intelikey> k
[04:53] <katharos> hatter_, No such file or directory
[04:53] <guest_> Onyx if I'm on 6.04, can I go straight to gutsy?  Or do I have to upgrade through every distro first?
[04:54] <intelikey> errr actually it default accept all
[04:54] <dirkg3nt1y> guest_: the pokerth documentation should tell the libraries that are needed
[04:54] <hatter_> katharos, with the * at the end ?
[04:54] <RevTom> kind of a pain
[04:54] <katharos> hatter_, yep
[04:54] <nickrud> guest_, thru every release; if you wait til april, you should be able to go to 8.04 directly
[04:54] <DragonSpirit> nickrud, thanks, I had a feeling it would be easy to get into anything with physical access, just wondered if I could have grub show no options, not even the esc to get to the menu option
[04:54] <guest_> ok nuckrud, maybe i'll do that
[04:54] <KlrSpz> tuntun: if you have installed it since your last cache clean then it should be there.. otherwise not sure?
[04:54] <hatter_> have you tried removing the card rebooting, then adding the card again ?
[04:55] <guest_> dirkg3ntly it just said i need libsdl/libsdlmixer.  I tried to install those and couldn't find.
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, no, i guess i try that now
[04:55] <hatter_> (after not having the card in)
[04:55] <nickrud> guest_, I take it you have slow bandwidth? If not, why not just get the gutsy release and reinstall?
[04:55] <hatter_> i am unsure if /dev/video0 should be generated automatically
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, brb
[04:55] <dirkg3nt1y> guest_: those are in synaptiv for sure
[04:55] <tuntun> KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache?
[04:55] <guest_> nickrud, I'm too lazy to back up all my home directories
[04:55] <riotkittie> okay so let's talk wireless.   boo. hiss.
[04:55] <hatter_> apt-cache clean
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, oh,
[04:55] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:55] <nickrud> guest_, heh. I have an external, just drag and drop /home/<me> to it every few days
[04:55] <bundagan> anybody else have a old 3dfx card? im running gusty, but if i do glxinfo X tottally crashes
[04:56] <hatter_> katharos, i am pretty sure mine was created automatically
[04:56] <guest_> I'm also on wireless broadband, I get one gig/month
[04:56] <theshadow> alright I'm getting annoyed I've been trying to change the permissions and ownership of a directory in MY home folder from root to me. I've tried sudo chown -R myuser:myuser ~/thefolder && sudo chmod 664 ~/thefolder but when I ls -l ~/thefolder it shows ?'s but if I sudo ls -l it shows the owner has changed but none of the permissions and I have no access
[04:56] <nickrud> bundagan, ran one for years
[04:56] <theshadow> what am I doing wrong?
[04:56] <RevTom> i use more than a gig a month just on my cell data plan
[04:56] <dirkg3nt1y> xall - look in the sound control... panel in System > Preferences
[04:56] <katharos> hatter_, well i'll try taking it out and adding it again
[04:56] <Sepheebear> katharos: here's a link i used to get mines working http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/aideUS/htmlpage/TVCardall.htm
[04:56] <crushin_> kaper >> http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2001/09/27/pamintro.html?page=2 << take a look here
[04:56] <hatter_> katharos, reboot without the card
[04:57] <mjancaitis> !ntfs
[04:57] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[04:57] <riotkittie> oh lawd. ebay, why must you hate me so.
[04:57] <bundagan> nickrud, but you haven't tried yet with gusty?
[04:57] <Sepheebear> katharos: IIRC /dev/video0 gets created after you modprobe bttv and bt878
[04:58] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything
[04:58] <guest_> synaptic is hard to use
[04:58] <tuntun> theshadow: have you read this guide? http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html
[04:58] <nickrud> bundagan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Voodoo3doesnotdo3d will set you up. tdfx hasn't changed in years, stll works
[04:58] <tuntun> KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache?
[04:58] <nickrud> bundagan, I have helped several on gutsy though
[04:58] <AzidRain> Hi there
[04:58] <dirkg3nt1y>  /set -i guest_
[04:58] <xal1> dirkg3nt1y, thanks a lot :)
[04:58] <katharos> Sepheebear, I tried something similar and it hung on reboot and i had to use a live CD to change it back
[04:58] <xal1> That did the trick
[04:58] <kaper> thank, crushin_ very useful information thank you
[04:58] <phreck> is there a quick fix for compiz fusion with ati cards?
[04:59] <ringokamens> I'm having trouble using quemu to run ubuntu 64, can anybody help?
[04:59] <katharos> Sepheebear, it might have been intended for an older kernel
[04:59] <guest_> thanks dirkg3ntly
[04:59] <dirkg3nt1y> xal1: np
[04:59] <tuntun> chawklit rayne !!
[04:59] <crushin_> anytime kaper
[04:59] <KlrSpz> tuntun: you can apt-get clean, but i'm not sure if it autocleans at any point? check man apt-get
[04:59] <nickrud> phreck, do you have 3d acceleration working?
[04:59] <phreck> lemme check..
[04:59] <hatter_> i am quite sure there is no autoclean
[04:59] <phreck> yes
[04:59] <AzidRain> have problems with cdrecord. It seems to burn cds but actually it doesn't burn anything
[04:59] <nickrud> phreck, fglrxinfo , paste *only* the last line here
[04:59] <katharos> hatter_, Sepheebear, thanx guys I will try both ideas
[04:59] <bundagan> nickrud, thanks, thats what i needed to know
[04:59] <phreck> 15593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3118.470 FPS
[04:59] <phreck> 15175 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3034.884 FPS
[05:00] <tuntun> chawklit rayne XD
[05:00] <phreck> OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[05:00] <nickrud> phreck, that here doesn't tell me what I need to know
[05:00] <At0mic_P1> Great... I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to rip the sound then convert an ac3 to wav and it's the freaking spanish version..
[05:00] <hatter_> how do i find out which package i need for openssl.h ?
[05:00] <phreck> thats the last line
[05:00] <KlrSpz> bbiaf, have some things to tend to
[05:01] <RevTom> stupid bluetooth
[05:01] <nickrud> phreck, but that does :)    sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald  . Log out, log in go to sys->prefs->appearance, last tab
[05:01] <phreck> so i need xgl, which screws me for gaming...
[05:01] <Eyemean> hi, im new to ubuntu,, and wanted to instal newest amn but have to compile, does anyknow know how pls/
[05:01] <intelikey> so a line like      cat /etc/iptables.rules | iptables-restore    in the /etc/rc.local   is sufficient ?
[05:02] <Eyemean> or even have it compiled for gutsy
[05:02] <nickrud> phreck, yes. Games wont work with compiz anyway
[05:02] <IdleOne> !compile | Eyemean
[05:02] <ubotu> Eyemean: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[05:02] <phreck> yea...
[05:02] <DWonderly> how do you install keyboards?.
[05:02] <Eyemean> cheers idleone
[05:02] <phreck> i just keep hoping nickrud that they will =P
[05:02] <DragonSpirit> nickrud, what do you mean they don't work?
[05:02] <nickrud> phreck, to disable fglrx, just uninstall xserver-xgl.  To enable, reinstall it. Play games inbetwen
[05:02] <phreck> they dont work "well"
[05:03] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:03] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, most opengl games doesn't play nice with compiz
[05:03] <phreck> nickrud: Ill just have two seperate sessions for gaming and xgl
[05:04] <ringokamens> does anybody here have a lot of experience with qemu?
[05:05] <bundagan> did anybody notice that when installing ubuntu from the livecd, the installer window can not be resized, it was a problem for me because my card was only supporting 800x600, the 'ok' 'cancel' and 'next' buttons on the bottom were clipped, i had to hack my way thru by using the tab key.
[05:05] <nickrud> bundagan, it happens when the live cd's X configurator can't determine what video card to use. Happens some
[05:06] <intelikey> could someone that knows iptables  have a look at  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7   for me ?
[05:07] <sonja> is there an mp3gain program for ubuntu?
[05:07] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:07] <intelikey> bundagan obviously you don't know xorg very well.  you can alt+leftclick drag the window anywhere you want it.
[05:08] <nickrud> intelikey, but not above the top of the screen ;(
[05:08] <nickrud> I hate metacity's use of that
[05:08] <intelikey> bundagan try it,  right out in the middle of a window   grab it and push it up
[05:08] <AzidRain> Why ubuntu installer insists on telling me that cd is defective if it is not???
[05:08] <AzidRain> it stops installing on about 26 %
[05:08] <Strangework> does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up?
[05:08] <intelikey> nickrud oh metacity won't let you ?
[05:09] <nickrud> intelikey, no it doesn't. I like havoc's work, but I think that decision was a mistake
[05:09] <intelikey> nickrud indeed.
[05:09] <theshadow> alright again. the only way I can access a folder in my home directory is to sudo ls -l or sudo it to do anything. But the sudo ls -l shows that I am the owner of that directory and all sub folders. What gives?
[05:09] <intelikey> nickrud i didn't know that.  not a gnome user
[05:10] <nickrud> intelikey, that's ok, I'll still treat you ok
[05:10] <intelikey> bundagan my mistake.  metacity doesn't allow that.
[05:10] <Pengo-lx> Hey do I need the alternate ubuntu installer to install onto software raid arrays from the installer?
[05:10] <intelikey> nickrud while we're at it would check  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7  for me please
[05:11] <Pengo-lx> someone anyone?
[05:11] <Pengo-lx> Anyone installed onto a RAID0 setup (2 disks) from the livecd?
[05:11] <CoasterMaster> !raid | Pengo-lx
[05:11] <ubotu> Pengo-lx: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[05:12] <mjancaitis> Pengo-lx: I've heard you need something like dmraid; look up fakeraid
[05:12] <phreck> ok, did they change the menus for config of the cube?
[05:12] <nickrud> intelikey, I understand the flushing, but that's it for me on iptables. When I wanted to do anything with that, I used shorewall. Easier for my shrinking brain cells
[05:12] <Pengo-lx> what i found on the net says to stay away from fakeraid and just use softwareraid
[05:12] <nickrud> Pengo-lx, I've heard people I trust say that here as well
[05:13] <intelikey> nickrud ok.   don't see anything wrong with syntax or command usage do you ?
[05:13] <phreck> meh, nm i drank too many beers.
[05:13] <fotoflo> hi all
[05:13] <Pengo-lx> the damn livecd installer doesn't see my raid partition after i've set it up with mdadm
[05:13] <nickrud> intelikey, seriously, I do not know iptables. Sorry
[05:14] <intelikey> ok.   thanks. :)
[05:14] <CoasterMaster> Pengo-lx, I believe you need the alternate install for software raid
[05:14] <fotoflo> ive just had ubuntu server installed for me on my co-located server by our hosting techs
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> damn
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> i got no blanks too
[05:14] <nickrud> intelikey, iirc, with shorwall I just dropped a forward directive into a config file, and was done
[05:14] <Strangework> does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up?
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> and i burnt the livecd onto my last blank
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> well that sucks
[05:14] <fotoflo> i wanted the LAMP server, but they gave me an empty box, is there a way to quickly get the LAMP installed?
[05:15] <Pengo-lx> guess i'll just install it for now on one of my disks and then wipe when i get more blanks on monday
[05:15] <nickrud> !lamp | fotoflo
[05:15] <ubotu> fotoflo: 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+)
[05:15] <intelikey> nickrud ok.   that short howto was for cli use    i.e. shorewall might not be an option.
[05:16] <nickrud> intelikey, true. However, it is in main so ubuntu thinks highly of it. The only iptables that is, I think
[05:16] <fotoflo> thanks
[05:16] <nickrud> iptables frontend, that is
[05:16] <intelikey> indeed
[05:17] <intelikey> ok leaving.   shalom
[05:17] <homercycles> Help. I uninstalled Samba, rm -rf /etc/samba, then re-installed Samba and it hasn't created /etc/samba again. What can I do?
[05:17] <tuntun> how could I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:17] <fotoflo> also, right now my APT repositories are wrong
[05:18] <rredd4> can someone help with vmware server please?  I am showing a new ubuntu user 7.10 and want to run it from windows.  no one in vmware is answering.
[05:18] <nickrud> homercycles, sudo aptitude purge samba && sudo aptitude install samba  .   apt assumed you did that on purpose, and won't put it back.
[05:18] <phreck> nickrud: How do i get emerald themes?
[05:18] <pteague> rredd4> what are you having problems with?
[05:18] <nickrud> phreck, art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org
[05:19] <phreck> can i add those as repos?
[05:19] <Khajavi> any one have A1200 (motorola mobile) ?
[05:19] <homercycles> thanks nickrud :-)
[05:19] <nickrud> no, you get the themes and put them in your home directory. The sites have instructions iirc
[05:19] <homercycles> nickrud: I did it on purpose because I was hoping for a fresh config file (thinking I've ruined my old one)
[05:19] <nickrud> phreck, don't you see any themes in the emerald theme manager?
[05:19] <phreck> nah
[05:19] <phreck> none
[05:19] <roy_t> hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating
[05:19] <roy_t> any idea?
[05:19] <phreck> i need to install the emerald-themes package
[05:20] <phreck> dont think i have the repo for it though
[05:20] <tuntun> How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:20] <fotoflo> err for some reason, my apt-get is not working
[05:20] <rredd4> pteague I have downloaded ubuntu 7.10 appliance, I get config file was created by vmware product with more features that this version
[05:20] <roy_t> I'm online only thru the live cd
[05:20] <rredd4> that error
[05:20] <nickrud> phreck, heh. Thanks for the pointer, somehow I've missed that package all this time
[05:20] <phreck> yeh
[05:20] <phreck> heh
[05:20] <rpj8> Hey, how can I test to see that there is nothing wrong with my installed nvidia drivers? I notice my 7600GT definitely doesn't match up to performance while in linux vs. while in windows
[05:20] <fotoflo> can anyone help me get apt-get working?
[05:21] <phreck> nickrud: I dont know where the package is though, ive forgotten
[05:21] <samsinite> man apt-get
[05:21] <homercycles> I did the purge/install for samba again but it still didn't put a fresh smb.conf in /etc/samba, nor did it create the folder
[05:21] <nickrud> phreck, just find it in synaptic
[05:21] <fotoflo> samsinite: Package lynx has no installation candidate
[05:21] <phreck> its not there
[05:21] <pteague> rredd4> no idea... i started off by installing ubuntu-server
[05:21] <fotoflo> nothing has isntallation candidates
[05:22] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:22] <nickrud> homercycles, weird.  do    sudo dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/samba<tab> <enter>
[05:22] <rredd4> pteaque i just downloaded 1.0.4, can't get appliance to work
[05:22] <fotoflo> mjancaitis: mail it to me, i will mount it for you ;-P
[05:23] <phreck> nickrud: i only have he engine and the runtime in my repos
[05:23] <nickrud> fotoflo, system->admin->software sources , enable the first four sources, disable the cd
[05:23] <fotoflo> nickrud: in server, no gui
[05:23] <mjancaitis> fotoflo: don't you wish, this thing is schweet.... if it works :)
[05:23] <rpj8> is there anyway to see if my nvidia drivers are working correctly? my desktop 7600GT seems to run like poop
[05:23] <fotoflo> mjancaitis: sounds sweet
[05:23] <nickrud> phreck, neither do I. It's mentioned by another package, but doesn't exist.
[05:24] <nickrud> fotoflo, you need to enable some software sources.  go to the link I'm about to give, and get a fresh one there.
[05:24] <nickrud> !sourceomatic
[05:24] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:24] <homercycles> nickrud: did that and the final line now says   invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.
[05:24] <fotoflo> nickrud: i know, my sources look enabled
[05:25] <fotoflo> nickrud: making a pastebin
[05:25] <homercycles> nickrud: thanks for your help. I think I'll just go back into Windows. You have plenty of other people to help by the looks of things :-)
[05:25] <nickrud> fotoflo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lynx . If that doesn't work, your sources aren't completely enabled
[05:25] <nickrud> homercycles, that is very strange, samba not restarting. Is /etc/samba still missing?
[05:26] <homercycles> nickrud: yep, still missing
[05:26] <fotoflo> nickrud: nickrud: making a pastebin
[05:26] <pteague> rredd4> i'm not sure then... i was having issues getting both server & jeos installed & then i set up vmware to reserve the disk space (rather than growing) & they seemed to work
[05:26] <jarrod__> weird question: how does the magnet write to the metal HD? i know it gives it some sort of charge... cna anyone elaborate?
[05:26] <fotoflo> err

[05:26] <homercycles> nickrud: I tried re-creating the directory then running your --confmiss thingy again but it still didn't recreate the file
[05:26] <tuntun> How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:26] <pteague> then again i've not done any gui except windows under vmware
[05:27] <sidewalk> what graphical tool do i use to format a new disk in ubuntu?
[05:27] <sidewalk> anyone?
[05:27] <roy_t> hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating
[05:27] <mjancaitis> sidewalk: gparted can help you
[05:28] <nickrud> fotoflo, there's something wrong with your repos themselves, then. Thats a good looking source, you're right. Try removing the cn. from the lines, then update and try again
[05:28] <jarrod__> mjancaitis: cant he use fdisk?
[05:28] <fotoflo> nickrud: we in china
[05:28] <mjancaitis> jarrod_: fdisk isn't graphical, is it?
[05:28] <homercycles> nickrud: I found an smb.conf in /usr/share/samba so I copied it into /etc/samba then did your --force-confmiss thingy again to reinstall samba and now the daemon is starting
[05:28] <fotoflo> nickrud: i just used the source-o-matic, and still no luck
[05:28] <roy_t> anyone?
[05:28] <fotoflo> E: Couldn't find package apache2
[05:28] <jarrod__> mjancaitis: oh sorry i diddnt see that
[05:29] <nickrud> homercycles, good troubleshooting.
[05:29] <sidewalk> mjancaitis: tnx
[05:29] <fotoflo> AHAH
[05:29] <fotoflo> apt-get update1
[05:29] <fotoflo> !!!
[05:29] <fotoflo> forgot to do that
[05:29] <nickrud> fotoflo, didn't I mention it, twice :)
[05:29] <mjancaitis> burn
[05:29] <fotoflo> nickrud: you did??
[05:29] <rredd4> pteaque i guess i am not so lucky... i am going to have to download the live cd.  I didn't want to, as its slow and the new user will have to reboot to use it
[05:29] <fotoflo> ack
[05:29] <homercycles> nickrud: I've dabbled in Linux over the years so I had a suspicion a starter smb.conf might be in there... I don't know all these dpkg command-lines, though :-)  Thanks for your help
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: hah, i am using two monitors and working on 4 projects...
[05:30] <javatexan> man I hate this, but it looks like there is no way around it...I have to install windows in vmware or something I guess......@#@#(!&$*#$*#$&@$@!$@!$
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: sorry to waste your time like that
[05:30] <javatexan> does vmware work for ubuntu
[05:30] <nickrud> fotoflo, np, you got a lot on your desk it got lost in the flow like much
[05:30] <sidewalk> is there any better tool than gparted?
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: should i keep the sources.list i had before, or use the newly generated s-o-matic ?
[05:31] <fotoflo> nickrud: think it matters?
[05:31] <nickrud> fotoflo, try the cn again they may be faster. I'd choose the fastest
[05:31] <javatexan> believe it or not, I need it to run some tivo apps...LOL  ;)
[05:31] <fotoflo> the s-o-matic is also cn
[05:31] <fotoflo> its slow though
[05:31] <fotoflo> 20k/s
[05:32] <fotoflo> maybe theres a taiwan or japan... ill check
[05:32] <tuntun> roy_t: If the GUI fails to load and you are unable to access the system menu then you should try the instructions below.
[05:32] <tuntun> 1. first reboot your computer into maintenance mode/recovery mode.
[05:32] <tuntun> 2. open /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom by entering the following command
[05:32] <tuntun> sudo vim /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[05:32] <tuntun> 3. press i to enter into insert mode. Locate the following line and comment it by inserting a # in front of the line.
[05:32] <tuntun> GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener
[05:32] <tuntun> 4. press the Esc key and then type in :wq to save and quit the editor.
[05:32] <tuntun> 5. type sudo init 6 to rebootthat should fix the problem.I am using gutsy tribe 5 and looks like this problem has been present in Ubuntu ever since dapper hope they fix it before gutsy gets released.
[05:32] <javatexan> ouch...vmware is expensive now...!!!!
[05:32] <r00723r0> I started to upgrade to Hardy, but my computer froze and now I can log in to a shell but nothing else. No sudo.
[05:32] <r00723r0> Any suggestions?
[05:32] <riotkittie> r00723r0: #ubuntu+1
[05:32] <dan2> what's the command to change resolutions in X
[05:33] <dan2> ctrl+shift+-?
[05:33] <r00723r0> riotkittie: Already there.
[05:33] <fotoflo> taiwan is even slower
[05:33] <crdlb> dan2: xrandr ?
[05:33] <dan2> k
[05:33] <nickrud> r00723r0, reinstall
[05:33] <javatexan> tivo desktop really only works under windows and only converts .tivo to mpeg4 via windows media....YUCK!!!!
[05:33] <r00723r0> nickrud: Are you sure that's my best choice?
[05:33] <javatexan> any work arounds?
[05:34] <riotkittie> r00723r0: if you're using hardy, you should be prepared to.
[05:34] <tuntun> roy_t: (from google"The greeter application appears to be crashing">http://liltux.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/how-to-fix-the-error-the-greeter-application-appears-to-be-crashing-in-ubuntu/
[05:34] <r00723r0> riotkittie: I never used Hardy.
[05:34] <nickrud> r00723r0, you probably borked something major. Unless you plan on writing code for hardy, there's no point until maybe feb to be running it.
[05:34] <riotkittie> you started to upgrade to it. therefore, you are using it.
[05:34] <jarrod__> i tried to move a notepad file i made in xp aka "wendy" to ubuntu aka "lenny" and rename it to a .html, but it is now .doc.html
[05:34] <dan2> hardy rocks
[05:34] <KiD_ChAoS> When i plug a jump drive, that wasn't 'safely removed' from a windows machine, into my ubuntu box it always has trouble mounting the drive. is there a way i can remedy the situation when i don't have access to a windows machine
[05:35] <Ttech> XP  = wendy? :)
[05:35] <Ttech> What?
[05:35] <horizxon> how would I allow myself to mount network samba drives without having to input a password? I'm trying to script something
[05:35] <nickrud> r00723r0, you probably chose to upgrade right when the upgrade path was broken.
[05:35] <Onyx> anyone here use VMWare?
[05:35] <riotkittie> upgrading to it at this point... from a stable release is crazy.
[05:35] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: plug it back in and saftly remove
[05:35] <r00723r0> nickrud: Anything I can do to get sudo working?
[05:36] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, i just said when i DONT have access to a windows machine
[05:36] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: edit sudoers
[05:36] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: ...
[05:36] <riotkittie> cabrioleur: how's he supposed to edit sudoers when he cant use the sudo command?
[05:36] <horizxon> do you know what i should add to sudoers or RTFM?
[05:36] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: okay, i forget the cmd for a force mount but you can do that possibly
[05:36] <riotkittie> i suppose booting into recov mode might help... but
[05:36] <cabrioleur> riotkittie: login in livecd, mount the drive, and edit from there.
[05:36] <riotkittie> whatever's borked is probably borked beyond the point he'll be able to repair it.
[05:37] <tuntun> How can I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:37] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, yeah i saw that but it never comes out right. i was thinking there might be a fix for Ubuntu that will do a force mount if necessary to mount the drive correctly
[05:38] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, have you heard of something like this
[05:38] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, it would be doing the same thing windows does, if the drive was last removed incorrectly windows doesn't care but Ubuntu does and it's annoying
[05:39] <riotkittie> i've seen windows care about that plenty of times. mmm. corrupted data.
[05:39] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS:  i had this problem with a seagate external HD. try googing your error it could be different for your dev
[05:39] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:39] <KiD_ChAoS> mjancaitis, the drive is unallocated
[05:40] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, i have a few devices i thought there might be a quick fix thanx though
[05:40] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: use fsck to fix problems.
[05:40] <mjancaitis> KiD_ChAoS: fixable?
[05:40] <spaxman> Can somebody help me with an ntfs driver question?
[05:40] <riotkittie> if it was unallocated, wouldnt it at least show in gparted?
[05:40] <cabrioleur> spaxman: shoot
[05:40] <KiD_ChAoS> yeah mjancaitis i know how to fix it in a windows box but im pretty new to Ubuntu
[05:41] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: only quick fix is to make sure the drive is removed next time
[05:41] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, fsck from command line?
[05:41] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, thanx
[05:41] <Randy_> how can i make ubuntu recognize my video card?
[05:41] <nickrud> RaNdY, what kind of video card?
[05:41] <spaxman> I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and the NTFS functionality appears to work pretty well.
[05:41] <riotkittie> Randy_: what is your video card?
[05:41] <javatexan> anyone here run vmware on ubuntu?
[05:42] <Onyx> javatexan: I'm running it
[05:42]  * nickrud raises his hand, hesitantly
[05:42] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: sure. You can use ntfsfix /dev/sdxx if it's ntfs
[05:42] <javatexan> with XP?
[05:42] <puertorro> Hello.  Im a noob to linux.  Does anyone know of a program that monitors system temperatures?
[05:42] <Onyx> javatexan: Yup
[05:42] <spaxman> However, I was using eclipse ide and opened a project that existed on my windows XP ntfs partition
[05:42] <nickrud> and drops it thankfully
[05:42] <ken_> hi
[05:42] <Randy_> i have a nvidia
[05:42] <Randy_> geforce
[05:42] <spaxman> it created a folder named "C:" on my NTFS file system.
[05:42] <javatexan> Onyx: are you using Windows on it...I need XP, I think
[05:43] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, xx being my drive like sda1?
[05:43] <Onyx> javatexan: Yes...
[05:43] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: yes
[05:43] <javatexan> Onyx: does it work okay or does it hopelessly drag the system down?
[05:43] <Onyx> javatexan: Works just fine for me (running it now)
[05:43] <puertorro> anybody got an app that reads cpu temperature and etc?
[05:44] <javatexan> Onyx: awesome....wow do you know of a coupon for vmware...LOL
[05:44] <fotoflo> !lamp |me
[05:44] <ubotu> me: 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+)
[05:44] <ken_> hey do u guys know what program there is on linux to list all your hardware devices?
[05:44] <ken_> sorta like device manager in windows
[05:44] <cabrioleur> spaxman: is the naming convention a problem?
[05:44] <riotkittie> javatexan: there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors
[05:44] <Onyx> javatexan: see pm
[05:44] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, thanx
[05:45] <spaxman> It is when I try to work with that directory under WinXPPro
[05:45] <cabrioleur> spaxman: no panic. Just rename the directory...
[05:45] <puertorro> APP THAT READS CPU TEMPERATURE?
[05:45] <spaxman> "C:" is not really a legal name for a file or folder on an NTFS file system is it?
[05:45] <crushin_> !JEOS
[05:45] <Randy_> anyone knows how to make ubuntu recognize video card?
[05:45] <ubotu> JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.  It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.
[05:46] <nickrud> spaxman, you can rename it , use C\:  (the backslash escapes the : , so you can change it)
[05:46] <cabrioleur> spaxman: no, but still you can rename it from linux.
[05:46] <spaxman> ubuntu handles it fine, but Windows chokes on it.
[05:46] <puertorro> douche...
[05:46] <lollydays> hey i'm trying to play a dvd in mplayer and i keep getting this error "error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."  what should i do?
[05:46] <Onyx> javatexan: Or not?
[05:47] <puertorro> can anyone see what I am typing?
[05:47] <cabrioleur> spaxman: it's because special characters mean something for the system, not the fs. So yes, you can have some characters on ntfs, but windows itself will interpret them different way.
[05:47] <javatexan> Onyx: I responded...did you get it
[05:47] <nickrud> lollydays, try   mplayer -vo x11 <file>
[05:47] <ken_>  l
[05:47] <spaxman> I can rename the directory, or even delete it from ubuntu, so I have already taken care of the "symptom" of the problem
[05:48] <spaxman> I'm wondering if my problem indicates a possible bug in the ntfs file system driver in ubuntu
[05:48] <riotkittie> prdude: 1 - there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors. 2 - behave.
[05:48] <prdude> anybody know of an app that monitors hardware temperatures?
[05:48] <prdude> oh ok. thanks
[05:48] <prdude> sorry
[05:48] <nickrud> spaxman, sounds more like either eclipse or user
[05:48] <spaxman> I don't think it should even allow a directory with an illegal name to be created.
[05:48] <nickrud> Randy_, what video card. nvidia is not enough
[05:49] <Randy_> gforce 8600
[05:49] <lollydays> nickrud: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll
[05:49] <Onyx> javatexan: Nope... right-click my nick and click Private Chat
[05:49] <javatexan> riotkittie: what do you mean "there are applets and gdesklets.....that will do it"
[05:50] <cabrioleur> prdude: for instance lsensors. A lot of different software. ACPI modules will be responsible for that.
[05:50] <riotkittie> javatexan: never mind. was misdirected and meant for someone else.
[05:50] <cabrioleur> prdude: thermal.ko I think.
[05:50] <javatexan> apparently I cant yet...hold on
[05:50] <prdude> cool.  thanks ppls
[05:51] <kr00l> anyone know how to install mythtv for ubuntu?
[05:51] <jarrod__> sometimes ... often my compe freezes and i can only use my mouse. i have to hard reset, no ctrl-alt-backspace. my research tells me its faulty ram... but soon with all these resets it will be my HD...
[05:51] <spaxman> You are right, I did encounter the error while using eclipse, but I wouldn't expect eclipse to know or care about whatt type of file system it is interacting with. I would think that the file-system driver would be responsible for throwing an error on the invalid name and not let eclipse create the directory.
[05:51] <sammysez> any success configuring FinePoint tablet with gutsy? (Gateway CX2726)
[05:52] <cabrioleur> jarrod__: it's tricky. If it's ram, your linux box will be erratic. In the new kernel I saw a new module to operate linux with faulty ram. Maybe you can compile it?
[05:52] <kr00l> can someone help me install mythtv?
[05:52] <cabrioleur> kr00l: did you read howto?
[05:53] <nickrud> !codec | lollydays (I think this is your problem)
[05:53] <ubotu> lollydays (I think this is your problem): 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
[05:53] <kr00l> cabrioleur: just says that i need more dependencies
[05:53] <nickrud> lollydays, argh! bad factoid, bad!
[05:53] <linuxfce> kr00l in terminal type sudo apt-get install mythtv
[05:53] <lollydays> ok, no problem
[05:53] <linuxfce> oh, dependencys, have fun
[05:53] <nickrud> lollydays, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2
[05:53] <jarrod__> cabrioleur: how can i be sure of it being the ram? it freezes normally right away or after 15 hours almost never in between
[05:54] <nickrud> lollydays, you need some extra codecs to play that i think
[05:54] <lollydays> nickrud: ok i'll try that out.  thanks
[05:54] <riotkittie> jarrod__: run memtest.
[05:54] <spaxman> Any more thoughts on the c: subdirectory name on ntfs?
[05:54] <nickrud> Randy_, I don't run nvidia, so you should ask about setting up nvidia 8600 on ubuntu, you're likely to catch more fish with that bait
[05:55] <kjp2> oh for the life of me I can't get mysql to let me in.
[05:55] <Randy_> k
[05:55] <katharos> Sepheebear, hatter_, no joy. :(
[05:56] <spaxman> guess not. Just was curious if it was worth pursuing with a bug report or something
[05:56] <cabrioleur> jarrod__: try http://freshmeat.net/projects/rumt/ to test it from linux
[05:56] <the_darkside_986> hi everyone. i am using Banshee, which I obtained via Add/Remove (package manager). but does anyone know how to effectively delete all songs from my library? i tried Ctrl+A and then clicking "Remove from library" but that only crashes the app. and the songs are still there... ???
[05:56] <nickrud> Randy_, and when you're typing at a person, you should use their nick in the line. It shows up red, so people won't miss it. If you install xchat, you'll get the same benefit
[05:57] <the_darkside_986> also, i tried deleting the banshee folder in .gconfd and reinstalling Banshee but they are still there :(
[05:57] <linuxfce> what can i do to make ubuntu faster? I have disabled a lot of stuff and removed a lot, anything else i can do?
[05:57] <cabrioleur> the_darkside_986: you can remove the configuration files.
[05:57] <cabrioleur> the_darkside_986: find banshee folder in .gnome2
[05:58] <nickrud> the_darkside_986, delete the banshee directory in ~/.config
[05:58] <sonja> i switched users, and now my colours are all wonky! how to i reset my video display ?
[05:58] <lollydays> nickrud: i'm still getting the error
[05:58] <r00723r0> Where is my kernel, on the hard disk?
[05:58] <cabrioleur> linuxfce, like your name, try xfce or even fluxbox.
[05:58] <nickrud> lollydays, not sure then. I generally use vlc these days, fewer issues
[05:58] <nickrud> r00723r0, /boot
[05:58] <r00723r0> I'm sorry, I mean my modules.
[05:59] <linuxfce> lol i use xfce frequently
[05:59] <lollydays> nickrud: ok thanks anyway
[05:59] <r00723r0> I completely forgot. :(
[05:59] <nickrud> r00723r0, /lib/modules
[05:59] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.xxx
[05:59] <r00723r0> Ahh, alright.
[05:59] <the_darkside_986> thanks everyone. deleting banshee from ~/.config worked!
[06:00] <tonsofpcs> anyone know how to get an alternate keyboard layout working [in gnome on ubuntu feisty fawn]?  I keep getting "Error activating XKB configuration."
[06:00] <linuxfce> what do i type in terminal to get it to tell me what kernel version i am using
[06:00] <katharos> how do i generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card?
[06:00] <Linuxchix0r> uname -a
[06:00] <linuxfce> thanks
[06:00] <cabrioleur> linuxfce: you can compile your own kernel with all the optimum options for your cpu, and remove the rest of unneeded stuff.
[06:01] <tonsofpcs> the outputs of xprop and gconftool-2 show that the changes are applied, but how do I switch layouts?
[06:01] <r00723r0> What's the module for wired ethernet?
[06:01] <nickrud> save a meg or two of memory that way
[06:01] <earthling> in ubuntu after intalling a new software how can we find what changes the new installation made?
[06:01] <nickrud> r00723r0, that will depend on your card, there are dozens of modules
[06:01] <pvl> tonofpcs: whats thi relating to?
[06:01] <r00723r0> Onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra drivers.
[06:01] <linuxfce> carbioleur, that is a good idea. i have taken a backwards approach to that, since its easy, but for obvious reasons your idea is better
[06:02] <j_medic78> I'm having a weird issue. I run Feisty, and one night I was unable to connect to the internet. Network Manager was still showing connection to the LAN, and I could see wireless networks, but no connectivity. I got frustrated and did a clean install, still not working. I dual boot with vista, and my hardware is working fine there. I have an Intel ProWireless 3495 and Broadcom 440x 10/100. I'm...
[06:02] <j_medic78> ...stumped
[06:02] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, have you added the keyboard swither applet to your panel?
[06:02] <pvl> earthling, well it dpends on what kind of app
[06:02] <tonsofpcs> nickrud: nope
[06:02] <horizxon> Ive messed up my sudoers file and now I cant change it back!
[06:03] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, and by the way, that's about all I know about alternate keyboard layouts
[06:03] <tonsofpcs> :)
[06:03] <horizxon> its not letting me do any sudo
[06:03] <katharos> j_medic78, have you only recently set up the dual boot?
[06:03] <horizxon> i cant sudo visudo any more
[06:03] <nickrud> horizxon, you'll have to do it by booting into recovery mode. And, never edit /etc/sudoers except by using visudo
[06:03] <r00723r0> Anyone know the module for the ethernet on the onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra?
[06:03] <pvl> j_medic78, is it connected through lan? because u could be connected on LAN, but your computer might not be trying to connect to the internet through it
[06:03] <horizxon> i did use visudo
[06:03] <nickrud> horizxon, visudo will do some sanity checking for you .... oh
[06:04] <earthling> pv1: for example i install say amarok using symantec. how can i trace out where the new files have been placed?
[06:04] <j_medic78> katharos: no, I've been dual booting on this notebook since june
[06:04] <horizxon> it let me save it as the sudoers file so i did
[06:04] <nickrud> horizxon, just what did you change?
[06:04] <katharos> j_medic78, just checking you weren't having the same problem i had a while back
[06:04] <horizxon> it asked me to save as a sudoers.tmp and I told it not to
[06:04] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: just type "sudo lspci | grep Ethernet"
[06:04] <j_medic78> pvl: i'm in a spot now where I only have wireless access, but I can't connect to that either. it just keeps asking for the network key
[06:04] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: it will tell you what you have
[06:05] <nickrud> horizxon, but what did you change in the file?
[06:05] <horizxon> I added the line ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:mount -t smbfs, umount
[06:05] <katharos> can anyone tell me how i can generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card?
[06:05] <pvl> j_medic78, and your entering the correct key?

[06:05] <darkblue_B> Boot Q: I have an external dsk with a fresh UB 7.1, it boots, but gets lost on the video.. I am now booted on an install CD, and can see the boot disk. How do I tell the boot disk to use Safe Graphics Mode??
[06:05] <cabrioleur> katharos: what is your tuner, what modules you have loaded for?
[06:05] <nickrud> horizxon, boot into recovery mode, and remove that change
[06:06] <horizxon> how do I boot into recovery mode?
[06:06] <katharos> it's a bt878 and when i've used it before, there's magically been a /dev/video0 for it upon install
[06:06] <tonsofpcs> nickrud: any clue what the package name is?
[06:06] <nickrud> horizxon, if you're lucky, ls -a  will show sudoers~  (the backup)
[06:06] <j_medic78> pvl: i'm entering the correct key
[06:06] <nickrud> horizxon, reboot, when you see something about grub, hit escape and select the recovery boot option
[06:06] <cabrioleur> j_medic78: change from auto to tk..
[06:06] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: I know what I have. It doesn't tell me the module.
[06:06] <horizxon> ok thanks
[06:07] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: so tell me what you have and I'll tell you the modules
[06:07] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, right click the panel, select add to panel, look for keyboard indicator
[06:07] <katharos> cabrioleur, it's a bt878 and i added it after i installed ubuntu, when i used it before i magically had a /dev/video0 when i installed ubuntu
[06:07] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: nVidia CK804.
[06:07] <tonsofpcs> ah, thanks :)
[06:08] <CoasterMaster> how can I measure how long it takes a program to run on my machine?
[06:08] <biff420> what is the best way to convert a .jpeg to a .png in ubuntu?
[06:08] <nickrud> katharos, try  sudo modprobe bt878 , see if the device shows up
[06:08] <katharos> cabrioleur, i've tried following the instructions to load a module for it, but it invariably causes my maching to freeze when booting
[06:08] <darkblue_B> CoasterMas: run fro the command line: time <cmd>
[06:09] <nickrud> CoasterMaster, time <command>
[06:09] <katharos> nickrud, nothing shows up
[06:09] <CoasterMaster> nickrud, thanks
[06:09] <nickrud> katharos, ah, that's the module for it. I was kinda avoiding your question, but when you mentioned the device type, I said, well, why not?
[06:10] <bobgill> What's the best method to run Windows XP from within Ubuntu?
[06:10] <selig5> .
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, so you dont know how to add the module for it?
[06:10] <Linuxchix0r> bobgill, a virtual machine like virtual box or vmwae
[06:10] <nickrud> katharos, no. That's the right module if that's the right card. Does your card show up in lspci in a terminal?
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, year
[06:10] <tonsofpcs> gah, how do i set up keyboard switchingA?
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, *yeah
[06:11] <j_medic78> sorry if i didn't answer anything. got disconnected
[06:11] <initx> anyone know if it's possible to "ban" modal dialogs in Gnome/GTK?
[06:11] <bobgill> Linuxchix0r: thanks
[06:11] <initx> i.e. make them all non modal, no matter what
[06:11] <pvl> j_medic78, have you checkd if you card is supported?
[06:11] <nickrud> katharos, someday I will buy a tv card, and then I'll actually know instead of make lame guesses
[06:11] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: forcedeath.ko
[06:12] <j_medic78> pvl: it's a supported card. It had been working fine for months. i don't get it
[06:12] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: sorry, forcedeth.ko
[06:12] <r00723r0> Aye, thanks.
[06:12] <katharos> nickrud, that's ok, thanx
[06:12] <cabrioleur> katharos: do you have any logs?
[06:12] <EnderTheThird> Is there a .deb for the 169.07 nvidia driver yet?  I installed manually before, but every time I rebooted I had to reinstall the driver manually, which got old really fast.
[06:12] <katharos> cabrioleur, i have no idea
[06:12] <pvl> j_medic78, ok and did it randomly stop working? or did something change prior to it stopping
[06:12] <sarah> hi when i install flash i get mdt failed flash plugin not installed
[06:13] <cabrioleur> katharos: did you have any errors when you are trying to load the module manually?
[06:13] <sarah> md4
[06:13] <EnderTheThird> sarah, 32 or 64 bit?
[06:13] <sarah> 32
[06:13] <katharos> cabrioleur, i dont know where to look for the logs
[06:14] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  did you use the ubuntu installer that comes up when you view a page that has flash?
[06:14] <greentea> How i make ubuntu deskt 1 and desk 2 with different wallpaper?
[06:14] <j_medic78> pvl: my comp just randomly decided not to deal with the internet anymore. the only thing I can think of that was different is that I recently installed virtualbox, and was using a vm with windows 2000 on the internet
[06:14] <cabrioleur> katharos: open terminal and type "sudo modprobe bttv". It might hang, and it might not.
[06:14] <cabrioleur> katharos: but It may show something valuable as well.
[06:15] <sarah> nosudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:15] <nickrud> !brokenflash | sarah
[06:15] <ubotu> sarah: 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.
[06:15] <pvl> j_medic78, ok gotcha. so you can't connect through LAN or wifi?
[06:15] <sarah> yhx
[06:15] <sarah> thx
[06:15] <katharos> cabrioleur, i removed the files that were meant to add the module, so i'll put them back and then try that
[06:15] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  you can also manually copy the file to your plugins folder and remove it when the official fix comes out
[06:16] <j_medic78> pvl: nope. I can't connect through either. But I can see wifi networks
[06:16] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  the file being libflashplayer.so that comes with the flash tar file you download from adobe
[06:16] <Lapinux> anyone here use "linux32" app?
[06:16] <wers> what folder contains rhythmbox's configuration files?

[06:16] <Arrick> hey all, I have a ubuntu 6.06.1 SERVER install running apache 2.0.55 and I need to get the mod_rewrite enabled on it, can someone tell me how, without telling me to check on apache.org?
[06:16] <Lagginator> I need some halp
[06:17] <Lapinux> Arrick: you might also try #apache
[06:17] <Arrick> Lapinux: you want my responce from in there?
[06:17] <Lapinux> lol
[06:17] <Lapinux> probably not
[06:17] <pvl> j_medic78, say, did u only try connecting to your own router? or have you tried another?
[06:18] <Lagginator> can somebody tell me how long it takes ubuntu to install?
[06:18] <Lapinux> anyone here running ubuntu 64bit know how one would go about getting flash plugin?
 Arrick: it's not the bot that has the docs, it's httpd.apache.org<Arrick> Apache version 2.0.55
 go there and browse, they should have docs for 2.0.x
[06:18] <cabrioleur> Lagginator: 20-60 min, depends from hardware.
[06:18] <Arrick> thats what I got in there Lapinux
[06:18] <Lagginator> =/ mines been going about two hours
[06:18] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: go to adobe website, they have it.
[06:18] <katharos> cabrioleur, it doesnt appear to do anything
[06:18] <nickrud> Arrick, http://josh.st/blog/2005/03/06/ubuntu-apache-and-making-mod_rewrite-happy
[06:18] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i dont see 64bit flash
[06:18] <Arrick> thanks nickrud
[06:19] <nickrud> Arrick, I haven't used it, but the comments were happy
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: there is no 64bit flash :-( but there is a wrapper
[06:19] <j_medic78> pvl: only this router. It's not mine, and I don't have access to it. It's sort of like an internet cafe type setup. i was in a spot where i could plug into an ethernet cable for internet access, but I move around a lot!
[06:19] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: linux32?
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: or you can install 32 bit firefox
[06:19] <cabrioleur> katharos: check if it doesn't work now.
[06:20] <jarrod__> is there a free alternative to freerite
[06:20] <pvl> j_medic78, cuz sometimes this problem can be fixed with a simple reset of the router, but this doesn't seem to be the case. hold on a sec
[06:20] <katharos> cabrioleur, there is still no /dev/video*
[06:20] <jarrod__> is there a free alternative to spinrite**
[06:20] <bundagan> i'm accessing a samba share, but it keeps bugging me for user name and passwd, the other maching is also ubuntu, after giving same user name and passwd (as the sharing machine), it opens the folder and says 'contents can not be displayed'
[06:20] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i just read where someone had to install 32bit firefox but then adobe flash failed to install because it checks the os, which says its 64bit, so he had to use "linux32" app to fool it, the thing is if i install linux32 app it wants to remove ubuntu-minimal which i need?
[06:21] <horizxon> what line in sudoers would give my user account the ability to mount and umount without being prompted for a password? I tried "eddie ALL=NOPASSWD:mount,umount" but it didnt work
[06:21] <katharos> cabrioleur, i think it will still hang on boot, but is there a way to get it to attempt to load the module without rebooting
[06:21] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: install nspluginwrapper - it allows to install 32 flash in 64 firefox.
[06:21] <cabrioleur> katharos: the module is loaded if you did the command I told you.
[06:22] <horizxon> how would I script mounts?
[06:22] <sarah> enderthethrid works :)
[06:22] <atarinox> does anybody know why my volume control buttons on my Thinkpad no longer work after upgrading to Gutsy?
[06:22] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i checked synaptic, it says its installed... how do i use it?
[06:22] <katharos> cabrioleur, oh.
[06:22] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: or should it just work?
[06:22] <EnderTheThird> Lapinux:  this script worked fine for me too:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924
[06:23] <toplok> how to activate the ssh server in ubuntu ?
[06:23] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  you got it working then?

[06:24] <Sepheebear> katharos: what's the output of `dmesg | grep bttv`?
[06:24] <timfrost> toplok: you need to install the ssh-server package (openssh-server) on the machine you want to connect TO
[06:24] <Sepheebear> katharos: does that say anything about which tuner your using?

[06:28] <lcphr3ak> Hey, I've just setup a CS server, and it's working fine. I want to load it as a service however, and it's not working out so well. I'm using screen, but when I log in to find the screen, or use the server, it doesn't find anything. As in, I make a screen script, and use rc.local to load it on boot. I see text on the actual monitor to the server (the script echo's the text), but no server. Is there something special I must do?
[06:28] <Sepheebear> katharos: tuner type 4 is no tuner. should that be correct?
[06:28] <cabrioleur> katharos: sorry for that, I messed up the message.
[06:29] <katharos> Sepheebear, i dont know what you mean
[06:29] <osmosis> these instructions dont seem to work, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingInternetExplorer
[06:29] <cabrioleur> katharos: lol, my isp is blocking pastbin :-) jokers.
[06:30] <cabrioleur> katharos, check if you have /dev/vbi or /dev/vbi0
[06:30] <Sepheebear> katharos: i mean the tv tuner type. did you set that manually or is that the autodetected value
[06:30] <cabrioleur> Sepheebear: It's autodetected value.
[06:31] <Sepheebear> katharos: what files have you edited to get this far? did you create an /etc/modprobe.d/bttv file to do this?
[06:31] <king> anyone ever have any issues with network-admin and setting up a wireless connection manually (non-dhcp)

[06:31] <katharos> Sepheebear, that's right
[06:31] <katharos> Sepheebear, tho i had no idea what i was doing

[06:40]  * AK_Kenny is away: I'm busy
[06:41] <crimsun> tuntun: aptoncd.
[06:42] <katharos> Sepheebear, ok, i did that and then ran `sudo modprobe bttv` again and as far as i can tell nothing has changed
[06:43] <Sepheebear> katharos: after you modprobe bttv check `dmesg`
[06:43] <neil_d> tuntun: one thing that works is if you link all the '/var/cache/apt/archives' to the one place, and do the updates one at a time.  The first one downloads the rest skip that step.
[06:44] <katharos> Sepheebear, it's says the same stuff it was saying before
[06:44] <horizxon> I know its not good style, but how can I send the sudo password on the command line?
[06:45] <horizxon> is it even possible?
[06:45] <bruenig> horizxon, no
[06:45] <bruenig> horizxon, if you want to be able to use sudo without a password, you need to edit the sudoers file with visudo
[06:46] <horizxon> after editing, the changes should go into effect immmediately or would i have to restart something?
[06:46] <JJHathoway> Probably a dumb question, but i cant seem to find a simple answer on the net....i just installed ubuntu server (LAMP, OpenSSH)  and i want to access the generic default web site that is loaded with apache
[06:46] <JJHathoway> how do i do that
[06:47] <horizxon> i put the line in the sudoers file ALL    ALL=NOPASSWD and it isnt giving me all powers
[06:47] <Arrick> how the devil do I save a text file that is edited in vi and get out of it?
[06:47] <nickrud> JJHathoway, point your browser at http://localhost
[06:47] <neil_d> JJHathoway: have you tried http://127.0.0.1 ?
[06:47] <nickrud> Arrick, :wq
[06:48] <horizxon> Arrick, press escape then :wq
[06:48] <earthling> Arrick: <Esc> : wq
[06:48] <JJHathoway> nickrud:  i take it you mean from a different computer?
[06:49] <nickrud> JJHathoway, your computer is also known as  localhost. you can use the 127.0.0.1   also
[06:50] <pteague> theta or iota for the name of a dual-monitor desktop?
[06:50] <JJHathoway> ok, maybe i need to back up, my server is connected to my router....the computer im on is connected to my router....im ssh'd in to my server to make modifications(or actually none to this point), but 127.0.0.1 should work?
[06:50] <EnderTheThird> Anyone else have trouble with the 169.07 nvidia driver causing the computer not to boot with the driver working?
[06:50] <byonix> can i still use feisty repositories if have upgraded my feisty to gutsy?
[06:50] <nickrud> JJHathoway, no, you'd need to forward port 80 on your router, then use the public address of your router
[06:51] <nickrud> JJHathoway, erm, both computers are on the same side of the router?
[06:51] <JJHathoway> yes
[06:51] <toplok> ubotu, can't find openssh-server, do I have to install it first using apt-get install ?
[06:51] <nickrud> JJHathoway, then http://<numeric address of machine you want to see>
[06:51] <toplok> !info openssh-server
[06:51] <ubotu> openssh-server: secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 241 kB, installed size 640 kB
[06:52] <neil_d> JJHathoway: use the IP of your server,  can you ping the server ?
[06:52] <pteague> toplok> yeah, you need the server on the machine you're planning to ssh into
[06:52] <katharos> Sepheebear, i still dont know why it would hang when booting
[06:52] <JJHathoway> yes i can...im actually ssh'ed into it at the moment
[06:53] <Arrick> nickrud: your first unsatisfied customer, it doesnt apply at all
[06:53] <Arrick> the apache deal that is
[06:54] <nickrud> Arrick, what doesn't? Oh, the mod_rewrite. Darn, thats strike nine hundred ninety three. I guess I gotta give up now :)
[06:54] <JJHathoway> nickrud: putting http://192.169.0.101 (which is the address my router has for static dhcp for my server)
[06:54] <JJHathoway> doesnt work for me
[06:54] <nickrud> JJHathoway, no, use the same ip as you did to ssh
[06:54] <JJHathoway> i do
[06:54] <toplok> pteague, I al ready installed it doing apt-get install openssh-server, how to start it ? thx
[06:55] <nickrud> JJHathoway, then your server is either firewalled, or not running
[06:55] <Sepheebear> katharos: im not sure where its hanging. i would comment out every change you made to /etc/modprobe,d/bttv and readd them line by line or just start with the bttv and options lines to begin with
[06:55] <neil_d> JJHathoway: have you done a restart of apache ?
[06:55] <JJHathoway> neil_d:  nope, thats probably a good place to start
[06:55] <pteague> toplok> should be able to /etc/init.d/ssh start
[06:55] <Arrick> lol nickrud
[06:56] <katharos> Sepheebear, ok, i'll try a reboot now and see if it hangs again.
[06:56] <Arrick> it would be nice if apache would just help out nickrud, they pointed me to about 40 gigs of docs
[06:56] <fotoflo> ack
[06:56] <fotoflo> why is the ubuntu default apache.conf so ugly
[06:56] <fotoflo> ?!?!\
[06:56] <toplok> thx!
[06:56] <nickrud> Arrick, yeah, I found a howto for mod_rewrite for drupal, but it was 2.2
[06:56] <Sepheebear> katharos: "alias char-major-81 bttv" and "options bttv card=113 autoload=0 radio=0 tuner=1 pll=1"
[06:56] <Arrick> lol nickrud
[06:57] <nickrud> Arrick, and I just blindly followed it, and thankfully it worked.
[06:57] <Arrick> lol
[06:57] <JJHathoway> you are supposed to start it with a script correct?
[06:57] <pteague> so ugly?
[06:57] <nickrud> JJHathoway, sudo invoke-rc.d apache restart
[06:58] <zeno> my computer always boots up at 1300mhz but can run at 1790mhz, in windows i use a utility to set it each time I load XP,.. is there a way to do this in ubuntu ?
[06:58] <fotoflo> pteague: long and ugly
[06:58] <Arrick> nickrud: how do I uninstall apache2 to make it so that it reinstalls with the default stuff?
[06:58] <Nostahl> set it in bios
[06:58] <Nostahl> zeno set your clock speed in bios
[06:58] <pteague> Arrick> purge should do it
[06:59] <Arrick> syntax?
[06:59] <toplok> pteague,  * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd                             [ OK ] , but still can't login to my machine from another machine doing:
[06:59] <nickrud> Arrick, depends on which apache version you installed, the prefork or worker or ...
[06:59] <pteague> aptitude purge <package>
[06:59] <Arrick> nickrud: apache2
[06:59] <toplok> pteague, ssh root@192.168.0.15
[06:59] <Arrick> thats the name of the package
[06:59] <neil_d> JJHathoway: hows it going
[06:59] <zeno> nostahl, ya, tried 1000 times from the bios, its borked.  its a AMD xp 2100 but will only boot up as a xp-1500..  setting it in windows works fine, need to do the same if I can in linux
[06:59] <JJHathoway> without adding any thing to the LAMP installation.... and after restarting apache, shouldn't the web site at  /var/www/apache2-default load?
[07:00] <Nostahl> flash your bios
[07:00] <pteague> toplok> ah, no... you won't be able to ssh in as root... root login is disabled by default... you'll have to login as a normal user & then su/sudo
[07:00] <Nostahl> maby they did an update to fix that for ya
[07:00] <nickrud> Arrick, do  COLUMNS=255  dpkg -l 'apache*' | grep ii , you'll find the actual apache server you're running
[07:00] <JJHathoway> still nothing...request is timing out
[07:00] <zeno> nostahl, updated to the latest bios on several ocassions
[07:00] <toplok> ok, thx
[07:00] <BlaenkDenum> hey how can I apply 777 permissions to all files/folders on 'blah', chmod -R 777 blah/ ?
[07:00] <horizxon> how do I change my system to allow a certain user to mount some drive without knowing what the drive is beforehand? what gives root the permissions to do this and no other user? what file should i edit?
[07:00] <Borbus> Does anyone know any media player that has a pretty decent library (like amarok) but supports replay gain?
[07:00] <zeno> any chance the cpu frequency can be set in ubuntu ?
[07:00] <BlaenkDenum> hey how can I apply 777 permissions to all files/folders on 'blah', chmod -R 777 blah/ ?
[07:01] <JJHathoway> BlaenkDenum:  yes
[07:01] <BlaenkDenum> JJHathoway: thanks
[07:01] <Arrick> ii  apache2                                                   2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2
[07:01] <Arrick> nickrud: ^
[07:01] <Arrick> and the utils and mpm
[07:01] <neil_d> JJHathoway: I don't know you will probably have to look in the apache logs to see whats going on.
[07:01] <Fritz> blaenk, be careful changing permissions.  777 is rarely needed
[07:01] <v507> hello
[07:01] <v507> i need help
[07:02] <neil_d> JJHathoway: does it have something like 'get index.html' ?
[07:02] <timfrost> toplok: if the remote system (192.168.0.15) is Ubuntu, you *won't* be able to ssh in as root by default.
[07:02] <nickrud> Arrick, I get also apache2-mpm-prefork, that's the actual server I'm running. I'd purge that, and apache2.2-common
[07:02] <v507> when i want to install, it said  Could not connect to id.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:02] <JJHathoway> neil_d:  index.html is located in /var/www/apache2-default
[07:02] <toplok> pteague, ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.15 port 22: Operation timed out. What to do ? :(
[07:02] <Fritz> v507 - you are in the right place, assuming it is ubuntu related and not medical
[07:02] <Arrick> nickrud: how to purge, it wasnt installed with aptitude
[07:02] <v507> when i want to install, it said  Could not connect to id.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:02] <nickrud> Arrick, aptitude purge will do nicely
[07:03] <neil_d> JJHathoway: but is there an entry in your access.log file for index.html ?
[07:03] <v507> so how to install now??
[07:03] <tonsofpcs> ok, so my system decided it wanted to die on me... I got it up and at a console, df shows Size and Used, but 0 Avail, Used is about 500 MB < Size.... any clue how I can fix this? fsck doesn't do much
[07:03] <toplok> timfrost, thx! I can't also login as a user from another pc: ssh username@192.168.0.15
[07:03] <v507> i have to wait.....
[07:03] <Fritz> v507 - is your internet connection working on the live CD?
[07:03] <pteague> toplok> do you have that port blocked? can you ping that server?
[07:03] <v507> no
[07:03] <v507> i allready install
[07:04] <v507> yesterday everything is finr
[07:04] <v507> yesterday everything is fine
[07:04] <katharos> Sepheebear, well it didn't hang this time :)
[07:04] <JJHathoway> neil_d:  where are the logs located?
[07:04] <v507> i can install using apt-get easily
[07:04] <katharos> Sepheebear, but still no /dev/video0
[07:04] <v507> but today
[07:04] <Fritz> v507 - you said you got this when trying to install - I think I missed what you are trying to install
[07:04] <nickrud> JJHathoway, do you have lynx installed on the the machine you've ssh'd into?  If not, install it, it's a text browser, then point it at http://127.0.0.1 to see if apache is actually up
[07:05] <v507> traceroute
[07:05] <v507> emerald
[07:05] <v507> and anything els
[07:05] <v507> and anything else
[07:05] <tonsofpcs> I just deleted 100 MB of files and it still says 0 FREE
[07:05] <toplok> pteague, I have properly ssh into a lan pc. now from that pc I want to ssh to my pc
[07:05] <Arrick> nickrud: that just rebuilds it with the current configs, i want it GONE so I can start fresh
[07:05] <Greevous> When I manage my user groups, I see a list of about 50 groups because all of the groups keep repeating in the list. Why is this?
[07:05] <Fritz> okay, do you know how to see what IP address you get when pinging id.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[07:05] <v507> Err http://id.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main libglitz1 0.5.6-1
[07:06] <v507>   Connection failed [IP: 202.87.191.38 80]
[07:06] <v507> thats the message
[07:06] <nickrud> Arrick, purge removes any apache config files in /etc/apache2 . If there are any left, they were installed by other packages (like php)
[07:06] <v507> Err http://id.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main libglitz1 0.5.6-1
[07:06] <tonsofpcs> is there a way to force [whatever] to recheck and recalculate free space?
[07:06] <v507>   Connection failed [IP: 202.87.191.38 80]
[07:06] <pteague> toplok> ah, & you have the ssh server running on your pc?  don't have a firewall blocking port 22?  hmm... not sure what else... you'll have to login via something other than root though
[07:06] <Arrick> grrrr
[07:06] <Sepheebear> katharos: i think you need a few more modules to get it to work with your card: modprobe dst && modprobe dvb_bt8xx
[07:07] <WGGMk> Anyone familiar with VMWare Server MUI???? Ive tried the vmware forums and #vmware, but im not satisfied with the answer I found in the forums.. Anyone able to give it a stab??
[07:07] <Arrick> nickrud: sites-enabled and everything are still the same
[07:07] <Sepheebear> katharos: take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-153674.html
[07:07] <timfrost> toplok: have you installed openssh-server in both places?  You need it on all the PC's that you want to connect TO.
[07:07] <toplok> pteague, basically all I want is to copy a file from the remote lan pc to my machine. I have tried nautilus but fails to copy it
[07:07] <lwells> Cool, HI all
[07:07] <Fritz> v507 - first things first, have you refreshed your package list today?
[07:08] <JJHathoway> nickrud: it appears to be running after installing lynx, gives the default index page
[07:08] <Fritz> v507 - I am able to connect to that IP address without error
[07:08] <toplok> timfrost, yes, its already running on both places
[07:08] <byonix> can i still use feisty repositories if have upgraded my feisty to gutsy?
[07:08] <v507> so
[07:08] <nickrud> JJHathoway, then it's something in your network
[07:08] <toplok> I wonder if I have to open port 22 (?) in ubuntu (my pc). How to open it ?
[07:08] <v507> i ahve to refresh my package list??
[07:08] <v507> how??
[07:08] <timfrost> toplok: do you have the same user name on both PC's?
[07:08] <Fritz> v507 - try running a simple "apt-get update" command in the console
[07:08] <Fritz> you will need to use sudo or be root
[07:09] <toplok> no. in the remote machine I logged in as root
[07:09] <WGGMk> toplok: are you running a firewall?
[07:09] <toplok> no, it is a private lan
[07:09] <toplok> both pcs are there
[07:09] <neil_d> JJHathoway: /var/log/apache I think
[07:09] <JJHathoway> nickrud:  wait, maybe its not working, the page does not come up, i was wrong (doesnt come up with the lynx)
[07:09] <WGGMk> toplok: then you shouldnt have to "open" port 22...
[07:09] <v507> iĺl try
[07:09] <katharos> Sepheebear, oooh, this looks like it might be really useful... (reading...)
[07:09] <earthling> any good chatrooms for slackware?
[07:10] <korosora> slackware?
[07:10] <WGGMk> toplok: are you behind a route? or both PC's behind a router?? you would have to forward port 22 to the machine thats listening for ssh
[07:10] <korosora> O_o
[07:10] <Sepheebear> katharos: check it out and keep us posted but its all about loading the right modules
[07:10] <toplok> both pcs are behind the router
[07:10] <earthling> korosora: yes
[07:11] <toplok> I can login from my pc to the other one...
[07:11] <v507> Fritz,,
[07:11] <v507> it just hang in 99% waiting for header
[07:11] <WGGMk> toplok: what are you having an issue with then?
[07:12] <nickrud> JJHathoway, I'm no apache guru, I just drop files in /var/www and let the default setup run.
[07:12] <Fritz> v507, actually, it looks like I am not able to connect to the indonesian mirror
[07:12] <v507> me too
[07:12] <JJHathoway> nickrud: i got if finally
[07:12] <timfrost> toplok: on each PC, can you connect to port 22 locally with 'telnet localhost 22', then CTRL-] and 'quit' - getting the SSH version string?
[07:12] <toplok> the ping is not working from the remote pc to mine...
[07:12] <v507> so..
[07:12] <v507> what i have to do...??
[07:12] <v507> just waiting??
[07:12] <JJHathoway> thanks for your help, you to neil_d
[07:12] <Fritz> one moment
[07:12] <neil_d> JJHathoway: is it going ?
[07:12] <JJHathoway> yeah
[07:13] <WGGMk> toplok: so let me get this straight... you are using ssh from computer A to computer B and computer B cannnot ping computer A?
[07:13] <neil_d> JJHathoway: what was it ?
[07:13] <toplok> yes
[07:13] <JJHathoway> me being up too long today....typed 192.169 instead of 192.168
[07:13] <WGGMk> toplok: are you sure your pinging the correct IP?
[07:13] <tarelerulz> I have been watching the boot up of ubuntu 7.10 and see the mta takes a lot of time up . How would I make Ubuntu not use it ?
[07:14] <toplok> yes. it says "Host is down"
[07:14] <neil_d> JJHathoway: easy to do, good to see it going.
[07:14] <WGGMk> toplok: are you trying to ping your external or internal IP?
[07:14] <JJHathoway> so now that i have a dedicated server up and running, you guys have any good ideas for what to play around with?  any cool server apps?
[07:14] <v507> fritz,
[07:14] <toplok> internal IP
[07:14] <toplok> ping: sendto: Host is down
[07:15] <WGGMk> toplok: have you tried pinging computer A directly from computer B (in other words, at the workstation)
[07:15] <toplok> I do from my pc: ssh user@192.168.0.56 and get required for a password and login ok
[07:15] <toplok> WGGMk, yes, it works
[07:15] <neil_d> JJHathoway: ruby on rails is good to muck with.
[07:15] <toplok> once I am into the remote pc, then I can't type my pc
[07:15] <toplok> ping
[07:16] <Fritz> v507, I believe that this problem will only affect backports, but I'm not positive without some additional information that I'll ask for in a private message
[07:16] <JJHathoway> neil_d: am i better off trying to learn ruby, or php, or python for stuff
[07:16] <neil_d> JJHathoway: I have a little website that gathers info on the server, load, temperatures etc.
[07:16] <JJHathoway> neil_d:  and what exactly is ruby used for
[07:16] <WGGMk> toplok: thats very odd... anyone else have some insight on this????
[07:16] <v507> ok
[07:17] <timfrost> toplok: that error seems to suggest that your PC is blocking traffic.  Have you installed a firewall package (firestarter, etc) on your PC?
[07:17] <WGGMk> toplok: can you ping the external IP thru ssh on computer B?
[07:17] <neil_d> JJHathoway: I like python, and php, perl is good to know but tricky
[07:17] <Pengo-lx> Anyone know why the liveCD installer's partition editor can't see my software raid volume i setup with MDADM?
[07:17] <toplok> WGGMk, going to try it...
[07:17] <JJHathoway> neil_d: is ruby just another scripting language, it seems it is not as common
[07:18] <Fritz> v507 - did you get my private message?
[07:18] <v507> yes
[07:18] <v507> did u get mine
[07:18] <Fritz> no, I didn't
[07:18] <xenthro> I have a problem with qBittorrent. When I start it up (it worked before) it crashes with "Segmentation Fault." I made another system user and the app worked fine. I have purged qbittorrent and all its dependencies 4 times. How do I make it work?
[07:18] <timfrost> Pengo-lx: because there isn't room on the CD for everything.  Use the alternate install CD, which is supposed to support RAID
[07:18] <v507> i have to register first???
[07:18] <Pengo-lx> timfrost: can i get it to work via an apt-get install?
[07:19] <Fritz> no, that shouldn't require registration
[07:19] <neil_d> JJHathoway: yes! ruby and  ruby on rails (RoR) is a site template system.
[07:19] <WGGMk> toplok: also try logging into computer A with ssh from computer B and pinging computer A's internal IP

[07:20] <vijayakumar> Cd
[07:20] <toplok> yes, going to do those tests, many thx for your help
[07:20] <Fritz> v507, I was trying to have you message that to me to avoid flooding the channel
[07:20] <timfrost> Pengo-lx: I don't know what package(s) would be needed
[07:20] <richd> anyone know how to list my installed fonts?
[07:20] <Fritz> in any case, it appears that more of those lines use the indonesian specific server than I thought
[07:20] <richd> not something like, arail
[07:21] <georg1> hi, I would like to ask for some support
[07:21] <richd> but long and full of * and -
[07:21] <v507> sorry
[07:21] <xenthro> Is there a way to completely purge a package and every single dependency and configuration file it/they have touched?
[07:21] <JJHathoway> neil_d:  yeah, ill probably spend my time with those and learning xml style sheets or whatever, my server is an old computer so probably wont be able to do much cool multimedia serving
[07:21] <neil_d> JJHathoway: there are a number of pre built for forums and blogs etc.
[07:21] <Madpilot> ubotu, ask | georg1
[07:21] <ubotu> georg1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:21] <Fritz> with id.archive.ubuntu.com unreachable, you could either switch to a different country's server or wait and hope they resolve the issue quickly
[07:21] <richd> xenakis: yes
[07:21] <Fritz> I'm sure they are actively trying to bring that server back
[07:21] <extracted> when ever i use open office to type an essay then take it some where to print it on a computer that is running windows  I always get tons of formatting errors :(
[07:22] <georg1> I am looking for a mail server tht I couls intall to ubuntu and download wmail s from gmail and other remote mail server
[07:22] <v507> how to switch it Fritz??
[07:22] <richd> xenthro: instead of choosing remove package, choose purge package
[07:22] <xenthro> richd i have done that
[07:22] <JJHathoway> so a note on security... are the default settings for LAMP pretty good
[07:22] <neil_d> JJHathoway: A webserver for just a couple of uses is very light on CPU usage, it will do most multi-media stuff.
[07:22] <webspiderus> can anyone help me install the drivers for nVidia 7900 GT? I've tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager route, I've tried downloading the drivers from nvidia's website, but either way, ubuntu only boots into low-graphics mode and I can only get a max resolution of 800x600
[07:22] <richd> and are other packages using some of the same files? it would be unfair to affect another package that doesn't depend on the first
[07:22] <WGGMk> georg1: i believe fetchmail would be something your looking for
[07:22] <Madpilot> JJHathoway, yes, but it depends what you're running.
[07:23] <xenthro> richd the old settings are still there... I just dont know which config file leftover
[07:23] <digitalsky> hello. anyone here got experience with mediatomb + ps3?
[07:23] <v507> how to switch to a different country server??
[07:23] <georg1> can I retrieve afterwoods the emails with outlook or evolution
[07:23] <JJHathoway> Madpilot: any more elaboration on that?
[07:23] <horizxon> do you always have to specify the device you want to allow users to be able to mount in the fstab? what if i wanted to enable all mounts of type smbfs?
[07:23] <richd> xenthro: ummm, reinstall? haha, that's not helpful i know...
[07:23] <Fritz> v507, choose "System -> Administration -> Software Sources"
[07:24] <Fritz> then choose a different option in the "Download From" box
[07:24] <WGGMk> georg1: that would be a server setting for gmail i believe.. you would have to have a function that would keep a copy on the server. i would be lying if i told you that its possible
[07:24] <Madpilot> JJHathoway, just that the more you're running, the more likely a vulnerability will crop up. A basic LAMP box is pretty solid, though.
[07:24] <richd> xenthro: sorry, but anything past purge is beyond my tech support for irc right now
[07:24] <georg1> gmail has a pop access so
[07:25] <Fritz> v507 - you are looking for this screen - http://www.fsckin.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/software-sources-select-other.png
[07:25] <initx> that's a server setting in gmail, you can choose to keep, delete, or archive
[07:25] <richd> I am off to bed
[07:25] <richd> BYE!
[07:25] <xenthro> richd bye
[07:25] <neil_d> JJHathoway: is your server available from the internet ?
[07:25] <JJHathoway> Madpilot: the more meaning apps/sites/etc or the longer i run
[07:25] <Led-Hed> anyone awake out there?
[07:25] <v507> iĺl try it
[07:25] <Madpilot> JJHathoway, more apps, generally
[07:25] <v507> thanks
[07:25] <imaginator> I'm trying to get a device driver to work.  is there a good kernel-related channel for debugging drivers (perhaps specifically for Ubuntu)?
[07:25] <JJHathoway> neil_d: im assuming by default LAMP is not?  i havent made any changes really
[07:26] <webspiderus> can anyone help me install the drivers for nVidia 7900 GT on ubuntu 7.10? I've tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager route, I've tried downloading the drivers from nvidia's website, but either way, ubuntu only boots into low-graphics mode and I can only get a max resolution of 800x600
[07:26] <georg1> so any pop3 access relay could work?
[07:26] <WGGMk> georg1: again, retrieving mail from another server is a process im not too familiar with, but i do know fetchmail can do retrieve the mail for you. if im not mistaken, i think postfix can as well
[07:26] <imaginator> webspiderus: FWIW I've had bad experiences with the restricted driver manager's driver choices.
[07:26] <Fritz> led-hed, is that a rhetorical question?
[07:26] <Led-Hed> I'm new to Ubuntu/Debian and have installed 7.10 Server.  I have set a few IPTABLE rules but they dont survive a reboot. What is the Ubuntu way to make them survive?
[07:26] <neil_d> JJHathoway: it probably isn't, assuming you are using DSL, you can check, I like the firewall test at www.grc.com called shields up.
[07:27] <imaginator> webspiderus: for instance with my machine Ubuntu was using a newer driver, instead of the legacy driver from Nvidia.
[07:27] <WGGMk> georg1: i would assume so, but as for keeping a message on the server to be able to retrieve it with multiple clients woudl be a gmail setting i believe
[07:27] <georg1> I was thinking for a opensource mail server, any ideas?
[07:27] <imaginator> webspiderus: the end result was that the display and 3D acceleration worked until I rebooted.  So I think you're probably better off just using nvidia's utility.
[07:27] <sketzski> wow lots of people out there tonight. i have a question about rhythmbox and ipods anyone out there have any pearls of wisdom for me>
[07:27] <WGGMk> georg1: to host your own mail server??? i use postfix, its relativly easy to manage with webmin
[07:28] <webspiderus> imaginator: well, neither one works, unfortunately. both end up giving me low-graphics mode
[07:28] <Led-Hed> georg1, Dovecot is easy and works well
[07:28] <imaginator> webspiderus: does xrandr list anything above 800x600?
[07:28] <georg1> WGGK thanks
[07:28] <webspiderus> imaginator: nope
[07:28] <WGGMk> georg1: sorry i couldnt give you more information
[07:28] <sketzski> does anyone know how to get playlists to sync with ipods in rhythmbox. i can drag songs over and they sync but not playlists
[07:28] <Led-Hed> WGGMk, postfix doesn't do POP3
[07:29] <WGGMk> Led-Hed: thanks for the info, georg1: did you catch that message???
[07:29] <Shpook> Ugh, just finished an upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, and now I have no sound. lspci returns my audio device, but aplay -l returns "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..."   anyone run into this?
[07:30] <AgentHeX> would anyone be able to recommend first-hand the addition of gentoo-proposed repositories?  i understand these are unreleased (i.e. beta), but is there a way to tell what packages are stable *enough*
[07:30] <AgentHeX> er...  first mistake.  s/gentoo/ubuntu
[07:30] <Onyx> is there a way i can increase the size of my main linux partition and shrink my windows partition without losing data?
[07:30] <imaginator> webspiderus: does your xorg.conf have an "800x600" mode listed, and does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have anything about the modes or loading that would indicate the driver isn't working?
[07:30] <Fritz> led-hed - what tool are you currently using to set IPtables rules?
[07:30] <Led-Hed> georg1, you will need both postfix & dovecot. Or any other combination but postfix and dovecot work well together
[07:30] <Led-Hed> Fritz, the command line?
[07:30] <krzulu> Onyx: Usually gparted can do that for you
[07:31] <Fritz> so you are using the iptables command directly?
[07:31] <Led-Hed> Fritz, yes
[07:31] <Onyx> krzulu: Should I be scared of 'usually'?
[07:31] <AgentHeX> Onyx: look at "gnome partition editor"
[07:31] <borlandc> hello
[07:31] <webspiderus> imaginator: my xorg.conf - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49938/ - it has no modes listed at all .. but no, Xorg.0.log doesn't have anything about the modes or loading that seems to indicate (at least to me) that the driver isn't working
[07:31] <Fritz> led-hed - that is what I use, I haven't experienced a problem
[07:31] <borlandc> hey guys
[07:31] <borlandc> im new here
[07:32] <borlandc> i mean new to ubuntu and IRC
[07:32] <Led-Hed> Fritz, so your ruleset survives a reboot?
[07:32] <georg1> i will try postfix & doveco and I will see, thanks!!!!:)
[07:32] <AgentHeX> borlandc: not to be mean, but, "and...?"
[07:32] <WGGMk> georg1: ok, someone just said postfix doesnt do POP3 btw
[07:32] <imaginator> webspiderus: what did you use to create your initial xorg.conf?
[07:33] <Fritz> led-hed, yes - it is possible that this behavior has changed, I set up my server with edgy
[07:33] <imaginator> webspiderus: oops nevermind I see that nvidia-xconfig generated it
[07:33] <AgentHeX> does anyone use the ubuntu-proposed repository for synaptic?
[07:34] <Led-Hed> Fritz, humm.  so I assume you have an Init script that does an iptables-save / iptables-restore.  would you mind pastbining me the init script?
[07:34] <Eyemean_> hi can anyone recommend a good player for downloaded flv files pls?
[07:34] <neil_d> JJHathoway: If your server isn't visible from the internet, and you trust whoever has local access, you can install anything you like on your server.  My sever does a lot more than just a webpage.
[07:34] <eHome> update manager is in the middle of downloading, what happens if i exit ubuntu? will the download keep and re-use last download ?
[07:34] <georg1> what about doveco
[07:34] <imaginator> webspiderus: I generated my xorg.conf for my nvidia card by using: X -configure ; sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf  then I edited the xorg.conf to disable dri, enable glx, and change the driver from nv to nvidia
[07:34] <Led-Hed> georg1, Dovecot does IMAP & POP3
[07:35] <imaginator> webspiderus: that may actually require sudo X -configure  (I don't remember exactly)
[07:35] <georg1> ok, iwill try this also
[07:35] <borlandc> damn
[07:35] <webspiderus> imaginator: ok, thanks - I'll try that out
[07:35] <Fritz> led-hed - actually I must have created that script at the time and forgotten about it - it is owned by my user
[07:35] <Fritz> led-hed - I found a forum post with a newer script in it - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19106.html
[07:35] <borlandc> join
[07:35] <Led-Hed> ok then I'm not the odd man out.  Thanks
[07:36] <borlandc> JOIN channel
[07:36] <borlandc> what kinda channel ?
[07:36] <imaginator> webspiderus: a little more context; the nv driver is what comes with X.org.  nvidia is the proprietary driver
[07:37] <gary4gar> i get this error when i try to install some thing via cron. the package gets downloaded but it isn't installed ;x, http://pastebin.ca/836168
[07:37] <deemt> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[07:37] <BehiiMehii> When I try to force a mount on my external HDD, I get "mount: only root can do that"
[07:37] <Fritz> led-hed - it is probably safer to use that file instead of mine, mine has no comments and I'm not entirely sure where it came from
[07:37] <Led-Hed> georg1, Postfix is an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) SMTP.  Dovecot is a MDA (Mail Delivery Agent), and Thunderbird/Outlook are MUA (Mail User Agent)  You need all 3
[07:37] <WGGMk> If I enable the root account by setting a password for it... How can I disable it so that its like it was NEVER enabled (or password was never set)
[07:37] <BehiiMehii> How do I fix that?:/
[07:38] <Led-Hed> Fritz, thanks and noted
[07:38] <Fritz> behii - simply preceed your mount command with "sudo"
[07:38] <BehiiMehii> Ah, thank you
[07:38] <georg1> led-hed, ok thanks
[07:39] <Led-Hed> np
[07:39] <BehiiMehii> Installed this thing hours ago, and still don't know what I'm doing :/
[07:39] <gary4gar> i get this error when i try to install some thing via cron. the package gets downloaded but it isn't installed ;x, http://pastebin.ca/836168
[07:39] <Fritz> FYI - "sudo" is "Do as Superuser (root)"
[07:40]  * AgentHeX throws caution to the wind and allows ubuntu-proposed.
[07:40] <Fritz> gary - this error means that the package is asking questions during installation that cron can't answer
[07:41] <BehiiMehii> Fritz: when I try to open it, I get "Unable to mount the volume 'SimpleDrivePS'." Any idea?
[07:41] <regreth> Hay gusy!
[07:41] <SuperQ> regreth: ahoy!
[07:41] <gary4gar> Fritz, but i used apt-get -y install <package name>, so whats is it asking?
[07:41] <Fritz> gary - you can add the "y" flag to the apt-get install command to assume yes to all prompts, this isn't advisable
[07:42] <webspideru1> imaginator: what exactly did you mean by disable dri, enable glx? i.e. which part of xorg.conf would I change for that?
[07:42] <Fritz> gary - in that case, I'm not sure. . .
[07:42] <Fritz> Behii - is this a usb drive?
[07:42] <SuperQ> gary4gar: you would have to pre-seed answers with debconf
[07:42] <SuperQ> gary4gar: why are you doing install via cron anyway?
[07:43] <Fritz> my bad "y" is for assuming yes  just to the "confirm install" question
[07:43] <SuperQ> yea
[07:43] <SuperQ> debconf questions are separate
[07:43] <gary4gar> SuperQ, for scheduling
[07:43] <imaginator> webspideru1: under Section "Modules"
[07:44] <imaginator> err "Module"
[07:44] <SuperQ> gary4gar: I'm still confused
[07:44] <webspideru1> imaginator: it says Load "glx" and Load "dri", among others .. do I then just take out the Load "dri"?
[07:44] <Fritz> behii - also, what command exactly are you running to mount the drive?
[07:44] <SuperQ> gary4gar: intalling new packages is not something you normally cron
[07:44] <imaginator> webspideru1: just take out the Load "dri"
[07:44] <SuperQ> gary4gar: what is the problem you're trying to solve?
[07:44] <lonejack> Hi, yesterday has been happened me a strange thing. I tryed to force load skype on autoboot (crontab @reboot /usr/bin/skype), after reboot, the system send to gui an error(due to the skype load in that manner). I removed the crontab, but, after that moment, somethings are chenged on my desktop, for example: the exit icon on top left position, originally red, now is changed... How can I reset the desktop conf? Thank you
[07:45]  * syc_ brb, ngopi dulu
[07:45] <gary4gar> SuperQ, i wanted to schedule package installation & updating my UBuntu box for the night, as in night my ISP gives free downloads, which are otherwise chargeable.
[07:45] <Myrtti> lonejack: are you seriously launching gui apps like that from crontab?
[07:45] <SuperQ> gary4gar: ohhhh
[07:46] <JimmyDee> anyone know why eve-online would say I have no openGL support with ati and the restricted drivers?
[07:46] <SuperQ> gary4gar: apt-get -d -y intsall
[07:46] <SuperQ> gary4gar: that will prep the downloads
[07:46] <muaddib> Ok question. I just upgraded my machine with more memory to a total of 8 gig. Unfortantely the default generic kernel doesn't have High Mem support. I am contemplating either recompiling the kernel with the generic config and adding high mem or moving to the server kernel
[07:46] <v507> bye guys
[07:46] <SuperQ> gary4gar: then you can do the install from the apt cache in the day without downloading
[07:46] <muaddib> I would like to hear opnions of doing either 2 if their our any
[07:46]  * syc_ tiada yg seindah secangkir kopi dan suara distorsi gitar blues
[07:46] <JimmyDee> muaddib: so whats the question?
[07:46] <SuperQ> gary4gar: after apt-get -d is done, you can just remove the -d and do the normal install
[07:46] <gary4gar> Myrtti, yeah..i launch gui apps from Cron
[07:47] <imaginator> webspiderus: the long Nvidia README for their drivers that installs into /usr/share/doc/NVIDIX... has more information.
[07:47] <gary4gar> SuperQ, -d is for?
[07:47] <SuperQ> --download-only
[07:47] <muaddib> JimmyDee: what is the negative of doing either too
[07:47] <JimmyDee> muaddib: server kernel works well
[07:47] <yamabushi334> hi
[07:47] <gary4gar> SuperQ, but that means double work, can't i do this in one shot ?
[07:47] <SuperQ> gary4gar: it does everything apt-get would do, up to the actual install process
[07:47] <muaddib> JimmyDee: I heard that based on the default options of the server .config desktop performance can be somewhat slow when using the .generic kernel
[07:48] <SuperQ> gary4gar: it's not really double work
[07:48] <Myrtti> lonejack: how about system > preferences > sessions?
[07:48] <SuperQ> gary4gar: if you have a lot of servers, you can grab the debconf answers from a template machine
[07:48] <muaddib> JimmyDee: so from a performance standpoint their is no noticible difference
[07:48] <imaginator> do any of you notice that Ogle-0.9.2 doesn't build with Ubuntu's gcc-4.1, but does build with 3.3?  It seems to be a compiler bug where it thinks an assignment is a declaration.
[07:48] <yamabushi334> guys i have a couple questions once your done with this convo
[07:48] <muaddib> JimmyDee: Also does the server config support the commercial NVIDIA driver
[07:49] <SuperQ> gary4gar: apt-get upgrade rarely asks questions, but install does for some packages
[07:49] <gary4gar> SuperQ,yeah it is, first what package i have to install have to be set in crontab & then in morning i again have to remove them from crontab, install manually  :(
[07:49] <Fritz> tamabushi - the conversation never ends
[07:49] <Fritz> er, yamabushi
[07:50] <lonejack> Myrtti: I tryed. Now I understand that isn't possible. That's what happen to give admin permission to everybody. For your knowledge I thought many times before to put here my message....
[07:50] <yamabushi334> well done helping him
[07:50] <gary4gar> SuperQ, template machine, i got a standalone box here :S
[07:50] <SuperQ> gary4gar: heh, I don't consider that work :)
[07:50] <zhancan1> flash is not work.who can help me ?
[07:50] <SirFunk> hey, is there a tool in ubuntu for dumping ext filesystems? (sort of like xfsdump) ?
[07:50] <muaddib> JimmyDee still there?
[07:50] <Fritz> yamabushi, what is your question?
[07:50] <gary4gar> SuperQ, then you must be some Sysadmin in some MNC :p
[07:51] <krzulu_> Does anyony know any WLAN adapters (USB) that actually WORK well ? I would really like a list or something ?
[07:51] <SuperQ> gary4gar: actually, if you ran the install already
[07:51] <Fritz> zhancan1 - you should be prompted to install flash the first time you visit a flash site in firefox
[07:51] <SuperQ> gary4gar: the package files should be there unless you ran apt-get clean
[07:51] <SuperQ> gary4gar: you could just re-process the install right now
[07:51] <SuperQ> gary4gar: and find out what debconf questions it's asking
[07:52] <webspideru1> imaginator: hm ... I *think* I followed what you said, but I still seem to be going into low-graphics mode .. here's my current xorg.conf file - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49941/. does that look like what yours did?
[07:52] <SuperQ> gary4gar: seriously, it's asking questions for a reason
[07:52] <gary4gar> SuperQ, yeah i know that, they are stored in /var/apt/cache
[07:52] <yamabushi334> ok guys i have a problem
[07:52] <SuperQ> yep
[07:52] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello. Is there a way to change my mouse settings? Right now it is like X isn't picking up all my clicks and movements very quickly. If I click to re-size a window it seems to always drop it, same with moving a window, click to move and it drops it about 1/4" later .. help?
[07:52] <gary4gar> SuperQ, i did install manually, no questions asked :o
[07:52] <lonejack> Myrtti: now understand, was easy.
[07:52] <SuperQ> gary4gar: weird, what package?
[07:52] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet: what kind of mouse is it?
[07:53] <gary4gar> SuperQ, nothing special some random packages, wait lemme pull out the list :)
[07:53]  * NineTeen67Comet and Sys/Pref/Mouse isn't doing it .. Logitech Wireless Lazer (MX5000 I think)
[07:53] <BehiiMehii> So anyone have a solution to my problem?
[07:53] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: ^
[07:54] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: I remember a few years ago there was a way to get more pulses per second in xorg.conf but I've totally forgotten how to do that.
[07:54] <gary4gar> SuperQ, it was DNSmasq, samba etc
[07:54] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet: is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf using Option "Protocol" "auto" and Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"  ?
[07:54] <SuperQ> gary4gar: I wonder if aptitude could fake the input
[07:55] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: lemme peek ..
[07:55] <gary4gar> SuperQ, yeah i think aptitude should work, lemme dig up, thanks for pointer :)
[07:55] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet: also, the way you probably did it years ago was with the xset utility.
[07:55] <SuperQ> gary4gar: yea, no problem
[07:55] <zhancan1> see many people talk,i hear my english is not good.so i decision to study english work hard.!!!!!
[07:55] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet:  xset m is used to change the acceleration and threshold, but out of the box it shouldn't be needed :)
[07:55] <jube> hi all. are there any known problems with a linux (ubuntu) open-iscsi initiator and an opensolaris iscsi target (zfs shareiscsi=on)?
[07:56] <j_medic78> i was on here earlier and got disconnected. my problem was that my comp lost access to internet, and even after a clean reinstall of feisty, i cannot connect to wireless networks. i can see them, but can't connect. i dual boot w/ Vista, and wireless works fine. i have an intel pro wireless 3495 and broadcom 440x 10/100 controller
[07:56] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: No I edited xorg.conf manually (back in my Gentoo days) .. It wasn't auto but ImPS/2 and Device was /dev/input/mice ..
[07:57] <patrick_> im running 7.10 on my laptop and when i try to view videos in firefox, nothing comes up
[07:57] <patrick_> what should i do?
[07:57] <gary4gar> SuperQ, found something, still not what i was looking for but it would be quite help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo
[07:57] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet: I'm not certain, but ImPS/2 may be the wrong protocol
[07:57] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: I changed it to auto .. maybe that'll work .. Dunno .. Then again maybe it is just this thing is a year old and has many many miles on it .. :-/
[07:57] <imaginator> "auto" may something to try
[07:58] <NineTeen67Comet> lemme restart gdm and see if the mouse changes . brb
[07:58] <WGGMk> If I enable the root account by setting a password for it... How can I disable it so that its like it was NEVER enabled (or password was never set)

[08:06] <gary4gar> bbengs, did you install ATI drivers?
[08:06] <imaginator> webspiderus:  try this under Section "Monitor"  :  Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
[08:06] <Myrtti> WGGMk: the rootsudo wikipage should have the info
[08:06] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: passwd -l or some such thing
[08:06] <SuperQ> gary4gar: something like this should work
[08:06] <WGGMk> Myrtti: im very hesitant in taking this action, but honestly if you know how to disable root login as if I never touched it.. id be pleased if you could help me. But id rather not go thru the motions of explaning it if its not getting me anywhere
[08:06] <bbengs> gary4gar:  yup, and reinstalled via the restrided driver manager
[08:06] <SuperQ> gary4gar: 0 0 * * * DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install foo
[08:07] <ompaul> nuGzthk, you say you formatted, what did you use to format it?
[08:07] <mpathy> bbengs: All I know is that the All-In-Wonder graphic cards sucks sometime, in stuff like tv, but that problem is very basic stuff..
[08:07] <WGGMk> Myrtti: alright, then disregard most of that last message.. thanks mate.. appreciate it
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: yeah, passwd -l root will do it
[08:07] <SuperQ> gary4gar: if it's a one-time job, you could use an "at" job instead of cron :)
[08:07] <WGGMk> tonyyarusso: will disable root account as if it was a fresh install?
[08:07] <Myrtti> WGGMk: ;-) sure
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: yup
[08:07] <bbengs> mpathy: great to hear that it is basic, where does a newbie start?
[08:07] <imaginator> webspiderus: and if that doesn't work add:  Modes "1024x768"  in Subsection "Display"
[08:08] <WGGMk> tonyyarusso: much apprecaited
[08:08] <gary4gar> SuperQ, yeah, thats a better idea i think
[08:08] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: or any other account you need to lock out for a while :P
[08:08] <imaginator> webspiderus:  err rather 1280x1024 or whatever you prefer
[08:08] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: Dang, doesn't seem to have helped with the "auto" feature .. I'm bout to head to some people's for dinner so can't mess with it . but thanks for your time.
[08:08] <WGGMk> tonyyarusso: this wont lock accounts with "sudo" privileges as well will it?
[08:08] <abhi_>  can anyone tell me how to enable USB networking on Ubuntu?
[08:08] <gary4gar> bbengs, whats does "glxinfo |grep rendering " say
[08:08] <nuGzthk> ompaul do you mean what kind of file ? like fat and nstf?
[08:08] <imaginator> NineTeen67Comet: also checkout the man 4 mouse.  Maybe that will help
[08:09] <marsmissions> I'm looking to learn C++, anybody have any suggestions on where to start?
[08:09] <theQ_linux> Hi. I have win and linux on a machine. i formatted the linux partition. now grub is giving me an error and won't run. can i kill grub and let my win run without reinstalling linux first?
[08:09] <mpathy> bbengs: For a english person I would say wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com, for germans there is a nearly perfect ubuntuusers.de ;)
[08:09] <NineTeen67Comet> imaginator: oh yeah . never thought about the man pages for the mouse its self .. lol
[08:09] <ompaul> nuGzthk, no, how did you do this, was it with an install CD or something?
[08:09] <gary4gar> marsmissions, join ##c
[08:09] <bbengs> gary4gar:   Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[08:09] <bbengs> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[08:09] <bbengs> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[08:09] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: no - it sets the hash of the root user's password in /etc/shadow back to *, which is impossible to achieve with the algorithm used for such things, therefore making there not be any password that works for that account
[08:10] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: your user has their own entry and is not affected
[08:10] <ompaul> bbengs, I will remove your mute in a few moments don't paste in the channel use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:10] <abhi_> can any one tell me how to set up USB networking on Ubuntu? i want to enable a TCP/IP link b/w my handheld and PC.
[08:10] <abhi_> i tried insmod usbnet but it didn't work
[08:11] <WGGMk> tonyyarusso: sorry for the redundant questions, but the password being * is how root is setup on a completely fresh install correct?
[08:11] <imaginator> abhi_: insmod is rather primitive.  You may have more luck with modprobe
[08:11] <gary4gar> bbengs, see always paste the output in pastebin, Please don't flood the channel ;)
[08:11] <ompaul> abhi_, you might like to try sudo modprobe usbnet
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: yep
[08:12] <abhi_> ompaul it didn't give me any out put?
[08:12] <Administrator_> ...
[08:12] <mpathy> nobody knows something about the right work of the metapackages when it comes to upgrades? I want to deinstall some apps like Evolution, Tomboy etc. but dont want to break with some kind of upgrading stuff if it depends on ubuntu-desktop for example!
[08:12] <WGGMk> tonyyarusso: very much appreciated. not that i dont trust ya, but im gonna head to the wiki page and do a bit of reading before i take this route. thanks for the reference Myrtti i appreciate it
[08:12] <tonyyarusso> WGGMk: absolutely :)
[08:12] <Myrtti> WGGMk: np, part of the "job"
[08:12] <theQ_linux> Hi. I have win and linux on a machine. i formatted the linux partition. now grub is giving me an error and won't run. can i kill grub and let my win run without reinstalling linux first?
[08:13] <nuGzthk> ompaul yes it was with a cd
[08:13] <WGGMk> Myrtti: maybe one day ill be versed enough in Linux/Ubuntu that it will be my.. ummm 'job'
[08:13] <mpathy> How about two international ubuntu support channels, one for beginner questions, another for advanced topics?
[08:13] <Nostahl> whats a good dvd player for me to get
[08:13] <ompaul> abhi_, I said like to try ;-)     if it gave out to you then I would be worried
[08:13] <Administrator_> theQ_linux, use windows install cd
[08:14] <j_medic78> i was on here earlier and got disconnected. my problem was that my comp lost access to internet, and even after a clean reinstall of feisty, i cannot connect to wireless networks. i can see them, but can't connect. i dual boot w/ Vista, and wireless works fine. i have an intel pro wireless 3495 and broadcom 440x 10/100 controller
[08:14] <Nostahl> i want a player that has what it needs to actualy play the dvd's
[08:14] <abhi_> ompaul: ok
[08:14] <Myrtti> mpathy: they all start from here anyway
[08:14] <CoasterMaster> mpathy, then we'd have all sorts of people go "Take it to the beginner's room" and things like that....
[08:14] <Myrtti> Nostahl: vlc
[08:14] <imaginator> j_medic78: does your dmesg indicate what's failing?
[08:15] <Administrator_> ...
[08:15] <mpathy> Myrtti: CoasterMaster: And the more advanced topics?
[08:15] <ompaul> nuGzthk, was that a ubuntu install cd?
[08:15] <horizxon> how do i run a bash script that prints out each command before doing them
[08:16] <imaginator> Nostahl: what do you mean?  are you looking for a DVD drive for your computer compatible with Ubuntu?
[08:16] <nuGzthk> yes it was with an install cd
[08:16] <webspideru1> imaginator: my internet connection seems to have died for a little bit .. did you say anything after you said you'll look for the xorg.conf option?
[08:16] <Creed> horizxon, try #bash
[08:16] <ompaul> horizxon, what you want to do is have "echo sometexthere which is the text you want printed out on the line" before every line to be executed
[08:16] <imaginator> webspideru1: yes.
[08:16] <CoasterMaster> mpathy, i suppose it really comes down to what are advanced topics....I mean I'm not the most advanced user of Ubuntu and I have tons of beginning questions, but I also know a few advanced things...it just seems to me that keeping everything in one place is a good idea
[08:17] <imaginator> webspiderus:  try this under Section "Monitor"  :  Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
[08:17] <horizxon> is there a way to default it so that any command it executes is displayed first?
[08:17] <Creed> horizxon, only way i know of is to edit the script and copy each line and add "echo" before one of each copied line
[08:17] <ompaul> nuGzthk, at what point in the install did it give this error?
[08:17] <imaginator> webspideru1: you may also need to manually specify the: Mode "1280x1024" under Subsection "Display"
[08:17] <horizxon> ah i thought i remembered being able to do this with a command line but i couldnt find it anywhere in the man page
[08:18] <webspideru1> imaginator: ok, thanks - I'll try that
[08:18] <Administrator_> telnet ftp.ubuntu.org.cn
[08:19] <timfrost> horizxon: 'set +x' will enable printing of commands as they are about to be executed
[08:19] <r3n0c> hey, anybody use vlc before? and get it to stream media to the internet... not just somebody on your network?
[08:19] <horizxon> thanks
[08:19] <r3n0c> i wanted to try to use vlc as a poor man's apple tv
[08:19] <Creed> r3n0c, you will have to open the port which you are streaming content on on your firewall or port forward it on your router.
[08:20] <drkokoloko> hi everyone, where can I find good info about ARDOUR and Jack ? I have problems to get sound , though other applications do work... I am newbie to linux and I LOVE IT, I want to stay with it, but I need to be able to make sound recording  THANKS A LOT
[08:20] <r3n0c> Creed, i mean in the actual setup, what would i do with the settings
[08:20] <mylogic> how can I tell which usb slot my smartphone is plugged in to? (as far as /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc)
[08:20] <nuGzthk> ompaul , umm in the begining of the install and how do i install it , what option do i pick from the cd? the oem install?
[08:20] <timfrost> horizxon: sorry try -x not +x
[08:20] <Myrtti> mylogic: dmesg
[08:21] <Myrtti> mylogic: or lsusb
[08:21] <horizxon> ah yes
[08:21] <r3n0c> Creed, would i just set the udp address to the public address? or do i have to setup an http?
[08:21] <Pancakes> How do you mount an external harddrive?
[08:21] <bruenig> !iso
[08:21] <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.
[08:21] <imaginator> r3n0c: I haven't yet.  I was thinking about trying to stream to my nokia 770 (that runs Linux).
[08:21] <Johnson> hey does anyone that use finch know how to get the buddy list to show up/ send an im
[08:21] <Creed> r3n0c, leave the public address empty, that way it listens on all addresses and responds to all (even if youre behind a firewall/router)
[08:21] <mylogic> Myrtti: I tried those, but they don't really say which one...
[08:21] <Johnson> my buddy list has no buddies, to clarifiy
[08:21] <Myrtti> Pancakes: the same way you mount all of them
[08:21] <r3n0c> imaginator, ok, yea i was just trying to get it to work (for some reason i stoped getting wifi on my laptop) so i guess i'll just stop for now
[08:22] <Myrtti> mylogic: mine shows in dmesg
[08:22] <mylogic> Myrtti: lsusb gives me Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0bb4:0b51 High Tech Computer Corp.
[08:22] <r3n0c> imaginator i got it to work on the local network, but couldn't get it to connect from a different one
[08:23] <mylogic> Myrtti: well it kind of shows, but it says USB 4-2 ... how do I know if that's /dev/ttyusb0 or ttyusb1
[08:23] <mylogic> ?
[08:23] <Myrtti> mylogic: Nokia N95, /dev/ttyACM0
[08:23] <mpathy> CoasterMaster: do you know something about the meta-packages and their exact role in upgrading? because I mostly deinstall evolution and tomboy and because of that also automatically ubuntu-desktop, but as I said, there is written " It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed."
[08:23] <bruenig> mpathy, just reinstall it before upgrade if it does indeed play that significant a role, meta-packages are dirty to begin with
[08:23] <CoasterMaster> mpathy, from what I've seen it's ok to remove it, but you should re-install it before upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu
[08:23] <ompaul> nuGzthk, you don't pick oem, and you could try to stick to one issue at a time,  the error you got to be of more use to you we would need the exact message, there are a couple of reasons, what kind of machine are you trying to install it on, are you trying to share it with another operating system
[08:24] <user3243> hello
[08:24] <Myrtti> !hi | user3243
[08:24] <ubotu> user3243: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:24] <bruenig> the ubuntu devs need to work on forking apt to work with package groups instead of meta-packages
[08:24] <bruenig> instead of nonsense like bulletproofx and so forth
[08:24] <imaginator> what is bulletproofx?
[08:25] <bruenig> not important
[08:25] <imaginator> bruenig: nevermind I found it on the wiki
[08:25] <ompaul> bruenig, if you feel this is a bug / or a feature you want you could write a spec or file a bug on launchpad.net and then participate in following it up
[08:25] <user3243> ubuntu is fun
[08:25] <user3243> it makes it easy to do things, i just wish it were a little faster
[08:25] <bruenig> my bugs get ignored
[08:26] <imaginator> user3243: what's slow for you with ubuntu?
[08:26] <alemones> Hi guys, I have a problem that after apparently installing all plugins real player, etc., all what is real player doesnt appear in Firefox. Also Youtube videos are slow and the tools of the video are overlapped and look ugly, plus video window size doesn't seem to match ... Any clue?
[08:26] <mpathy> CoasterMaster: hmm, but why? the exactly same on ubuntu-server, the metapackage includes "alsa*" packages, but who really needs installed alsa packages on his server at his housing provider?
[08:26] <user3243> to be fair, it's not really slow, just not as fast as windows xp
[08:26] <user3243> windows xp after a fresh install that is
[08:27] <zero-9376> anyone here used the userful desktop multiplier, i need help enabling users to shutdown the system
[08:27] <ompaul> bruenig, this is the support channel as you are aware, if your bugs are ignored and you have the option of forking ubuntu or working on them yourself to get to Free Software Heaven ;-)
[08:27] <CoasterMaster> mpathy, i'm not sure...I don't use the server edition
[08:27] <user3243> if theres any little tweaks i can apply i'd like that
[08:27] <bruenig> alemones, you probably install gnash not adobe flash, you don't need real player, mplayer and (I think) totem can handle rm so it is a total waste of time to worry with realplayer proprietary stuff
[08:27] <bruenig> installed*
[08:27] <imaginator> alemones: I don't have that problem, but perhaps it's because I'm installed the flash plugin from adobe
[08:27] <ompaul> user3243, so have you installed it?
[08:27] <Creed> user3243, you can always try out different flavors of ubuntu, or hell even different distros to see which is up to speed and you still like :) Xubuntu is fairly quick.
[08:27] <user3243> yes i have installed it
[08:27] <Johnson> !finch
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about finch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <ompaul> user3243, what spec is the machine, chip / disk / ram /video ram
[08:27] <user3243> i erased windows, dont need it anymore
[08:27] <user3243> hooray for me
[08:28] <mpathy> mpathy: ubuntu-desktop should also only include things everyone needs, like NetworkManager, but packages highly depending on personal taste like Evolution (and his bad IMAP support) shouldnt remove the meta
[08:28] <user3243> core 2 2.2ghz 800mhz fsb 4mbl2, 170gb fujitsu 7200rpm, 2gb 667mhz, 128mb 8400M gs
[08:28] <alemones> bruenig: do you mean I should install flash?
[08:28] <wers> the slab menu looks weird on ubuntu. any idea why?
[08:28] <user3243> ddr3 on that gpu
[08:28] <user3243> but nvclock doesnt support it, blah
[08:29] <ompaul> mpathy, launchpad.net is the place to file those issues - they may get won't fix attached but at least you will have addressed them
[08:29] <user3243> thats one thing ill miss, ocing my gpu
[08:29] <ompaul> !offtopic | user3243
[08:29] <ubotu> user3243: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:31] <j_medic78> >	imaginator: i'm still a noob really! all i've done is check the output of ifconfig and iwconfig. sorry for the late response, this satellite internet keeps kicking me off
[08:31] <darkblue_B> ugh- 4+ hours in install treadmill.. it all seems so clear after the dust settles.. Use the install CD, choose Safe Graphics Mode, forget fancy partitions at first, just make the boot and swap, and install from the hardware that its going to run off of, no matter how close the boxes seem.. ugh
[08:31] <msingh> can i update to the new tcl/tk?
[08:32] <HelloTher> Hello can someone help me please?
[08:32] <msingh> HelloTher, what's the problem
[08:32] <alemones> gulp..my help left the chat.. here I go again  ::  have a problem that after apparently installing all plugins real player, etc., all what is real player doesnt appear in Firefox. Also Youtube videos are slow and the tools of the video are overlapped and look ugly, plus video window size doesn't seem to match ... Any clue?
[08:32] <imaginator> j_medic78: open a terminal and try: dmesg | less     Some of that output may be about your wireless card driver.
[08:32] <HelloTher> I can't load into the desktop of Kubuntu
[08:32] <lwells> Is there power management in xubuntu??

[08:33] <user3211> I got installation problem for warzone 2100, can anybody help me ?
[08:33] <j_medic78> imaginator: i'll try it. i'm gonna have to log off vista and reboot to do it
[08:33] <imaginator> j_medic78: ok, good luck :)
[08:33] <Jordan_U> alemones, You are using gnash instead of flash, that is what is causing your youtube problems
[08:34] <Johnson> hey does anyone in here now anything about finch? like how to log on. because for some reason by buddy list doesn't show up at all
[08:34] <alemones> Jordan_U: thanks, what should I do?
[08:34] <msingh> HellDragon, what desktop -- you mean X.orf?
[08:34] <HellDragon> fluxbox
[08:34] <msingh> sorry i meant that to HelloTher
[08:35] <HelloTher> It says no resume image, doing normal boot. Then It asks me for my login details. But I want to go into the actual desktop
[08:35] <Jordan_U> alemones, Open Applications -> Add / Remove, uncheck gnash and check flash ( make sure that it is showing all available applications at the top right )
[08:35] <imaginator> HelloTher: it sounds like gdm or X isn't working for some reason
[08:36] <isaacj87> hi all
[08:36] <imaginator> HelloTher: if you login then you might try startx and see what happens
[08:36] <HelloTher> Ok will try that thanks.
[08:36] <isaacj87> can I just use wine "c:\blah\blah\blah.exe" as the command for a launcher I want to create?
[08:36] <Lin1> hello ppl :)
[08:37] <Jordan_U> alemones, Or from the terminal: sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:37] <isaacj87> or do I need to have a specific command?
[08:37] <Lin1> is there a way to make the surround system to work???
[08:38] <Jordan_U> isaacj87, Any command that works from a terminal will work from a launcher
[08:38] <imaginator> Jordan_U: does apt-get remove do the same thing as dpkg --remove pkgname?
[08:38] <ubuntu_> Hello! I'm using the Live CD right now, and I have a small question about installation...I have Windows already installed, and so I used GParted to create an ext3 partition, a swap partition, and a 10GB fat32 partition for backup stuff. If I let Ubuntu install the bootloader, will I still be able to get into Windows?
[08:39] <isaacj87> Jordan_U: ah. thanks. I was just curious if I need anything else besides: wine "c:\blah\blah.exe"
[08:40] <user3243> my experience is that ubuntu kills windows bootability
[08:40] <Jordan_U> imaginator, basically, but it also removes the dependencies of <package>
[08:40] <imaginator> ubuntu_: yes, you should be able to.  Assuming that the boatloader installer identifies the existing partitions, and creates entries.  Make sure you have backups though beforehand of all of your important Windows data.
[08:40] <user3243> but that may have changed
[08:40] <user3243> and windows kill ubuntu bootability, though of course theres double boot howto's on google
[08:41] <ubuntu_> imaginator: Yep, I do :) Let's assume the bootloader didn't...would there be a way to manually do it?
[08:41] <Jordan_U> user3243, It shouldn't ever do that, but it unfortunately sometimes does
[08:41] <imaginator> ubuntu_: yes by manually adding an entry for grub
[08:41] <alemones> Jordan_U: Thanks, I'm working on it.
[08:41] <SquiRel> d
[08:41] <SquiRel> When I type startx the screen goes black
[08:42] <imaginator> ubuntu_: once you have ubuntu installed you can run info grub to see how to use and edit the bootloader configuration.
[08:42] <SquiRel> But it worked fine before.
[08:43] <imaginator> SquiRel: are you using a restricted driver?
[08:43] <SquiRel> Then I restarted and it didn't load
[08:43] <imaginator> like perhaps the nvidia driver?
[08:43] <SquiRel> What's a restricted driver?
[08:43] <sebastian_> wattyour name
[08:43] <SquiRel> Yes I am
[08:43] <Jordan_U> imaginator, You people and your Texinfo manuals, man FTW
[08:43] <sebastian_> watt im
[08:43] <SquiRel> It prompted me to install it
[08:43] <ubuntu_> imaginator: Would there be a way to have Windows remain the "default" OS (so, if you turn on the computer and leave it sitting, it'll eventually load Windows?). I'm trying to get my husband to use Ubuntu, but I need to sneak it in there :)
[08:43] <vista_> hi all
[08:43] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, Yes, there is
[08:44] <imaginator> SquiRel: oh, well that's a problem.  I ran into that before.  the restricted driver manager has a bug or 2
[08:44] <SquiRel> So is there a way to fix it?
[08:44] <user3211> ubuntu: you need to edit the grub config file
[08:45] <vista_> i m interested in installing ubuntu. i installed once but all my programs are with .exe and i culdnt install wine but when i did. the software werent installing coz they didnt knew where to be install
[08:45] <imaginator> SquiRel: at the grub menu boot with the rescue/safe option
[08:45] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, Edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and put the lines that boot windows before the debian automagic kernels section ( that sounds more complicated than it is )
[08:45] <imaginator> SquiRel: then login and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver back to nv from nvidia
[08:45] <imaginator> SquiRel: The problem is most likely that the restricted driver manager used a newer driver than your card supports.  At least it was that case with mine
[08:45] <ubuntu_> Hmm. I'll install it and then come back here if I need help :)
[08:46] <imaginator> SquiRel: I found that the newer driver would work, after initialized with the nv driver, but failed after a reboot, and would give me a black screen
[08:46] <SquiRel> Imaginator: so then can I not use those drivers
[08:46] <user3211> ubuntu_: go here for instruction for duel booting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[08:47] <imaginator> SquiRel: I'm guessing you can't for now.  You can however install the official Nvidia driver (perhaps the older legacy version) it's what I use.
[08:47] <SquiRel> So how do I do that?
[08:47] <imaginator> SquiRel: see the nvidia site
[08:47] <imaginator> you can download their driver and installer
[08:47] <SquiRel> Ok thanks for your help
[08:47] <bryant> well
[08:48] <wers> anyone here using the slab menu?
[08:49] <wers> any idea why it looks weird on ubuntu? :D
[08:49] <Jordan_U> wers, screenshot?
[08:49] <siddhant> hi. is there any permanent solution to the titlebar gone in compiz problem? i've tried everything. bt once in every session, the titlebars disappear. :(
[08:50] <user3243> siddhant in terminal type emerald --replace
[08:50] <imaginator> user3243: what does that do?
[08:50] <user3243> if you dont have emerald start with sudo apt-get install emerald
[08:50] <siddhant> i enabled ths line in startup as well.
[08:50] <wers> Jordan_U, good idea. where can i upload it? is there something like pastebin for screenshots? :D
[08:51] <user3243> emerald --replace sets the window boarders to use emerald decorations
[08:51] <Jordan_U> wers, flickr, photobucket, imageshaq
[08:52] <siddhant> i did emerald --replace just now. as soon as i close the terminal, titlebars disappear again
[08:52] <user3243> yeah you cant do that, but you can make it an executable and set it to autostart
[08:52] <user3243> that way you wont see it, and you wont have to do it
[08:52] <Jordan_U> siddhant, nohup emerald --replace
[08:53] <v507> hello i need help again
[08:53] <siddhant> it does bring them back. but as soon as i close the terminal, they go again.
[08:53] <v507> i using gutsy
[08:53] <Jordan_U> siddhant, Also you probably want to put that in System -> Preferences -> Session ( you don't need the nohup for that but it doesn't hurt either )
[08:54] <v507> i´m using gutsy
[08:54] <v507> install compiz
[08:54] <Jordan_U> siddhant, Using "nohup emerald --replace" it should not go away when you close the terminal
[08:54] <siddhant> it did. :(
[08:54] <user3243> i'd tell him how to make an executable and put it in autostart, but im too lazy
[08:54] <v507> and then i dont know next after installing compiz
[08:54] <siddhant> hey now it didnt!
[08:55] <siddhant> thanks!
[08:55] <Jordan_U> siddhant, np
[08:55] <user3243> v507 in terminal type compiz --replace
[08:55] <wers> Jordan_U, http://xs.to/codes.php?f=Screenshot-1.png&h=xs322&d=07526
[08:55] <user3243> lol jordan he's going to have to do that every time he uses his computer, assuming he shuts it down
[08:55] <SquiRel> Imaginator: Hi again, there is no option for rescue/safe boot, and there is no directory /x11?
[08:55] <v507> it said xgl not present
[08:55] <wers> the slab menu there isn't like the one in suse
[08:55] <user3243> did you install your video card driver?
[08:56] <aunes> what is the social channel for #ubunto again?
[08:56] <kr00l> can someone help me install flashplayer9?
[08:56] <v507> i dont know
[08:56] <imaginator> SquiRel: /etc/X11 ?
[08:56] <v507> im using sis
[08:56] <SquiRel> ya directory does not exist
[08:56] <imaginator> locate xorg.conf?
[08:56] <v507> how to check it??
[08:56] <SquiRel> how do I find it?
[08:57] <v507> how to check my video card driver???
[08:57] <menllyos> firestart does not boot automatically, i see a [FAIL] message while booting, but as soon as im logged in and type iptables -nL i do see a lot of rules...
[08:57] <user3243> uname -a
[08:57] <Arv3n> Hello!
[08:58] <Arv3n> How do I mount a UDF volume?
[08:58] <BehiiMehii> SquiRel: I believe you go to Computer>File System
[08:58] <user3243> imaginator in terminal type sudo locate xorg.conf
[08:58] <user3243> it'll tell you where it is
[08:58] <imaginator> SquiRel: perhaps my information is outdated...  That seems strange though that they would move /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:58] <Jordan_U> wers, Been awhile since I've used Suse but that looks right. It is going to look different with different themes
[08:58] <imaginator> I'm using Feisty for what it's worth.
[08:58] <v507> then??
[08:58] <user3243> lol tell me what it says
[08:58] <SquiRel> I'm using the 7.10 one
[08:59] <Jordan_U> imaginator, The xorg.conf has not been moved
[08:59] <v507> sorry
[08:59] <wers> Jordan_U, the text are cut in the menu button
[08:59] <v507> give me a sec
[08:59] <clalfa> hello I got a problem trying to install my geforce 2 mx drivers
[08:59] <Arv3n> How do I mount a UDF volume?
[08:59] <cybergig> o.o;
[08:59] <v507> Linux 3botol 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:59] <v507> it said Linux 3botol 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:59] <clalfa> the nvidia installer says " cannot load nvidia kernel module"
[08:59] <Jordan_U> user3211, No need to use sudo with locate ( and you should avoid using sudo when you don't need it )
[08:59] <Arv3n> How do I mount a UDF volume?
[09:00] <imaginator> Jordan_U: thank you.  SquiRel: I'm not sure what is going on that would cause you to not have an /etc/X11/ or /etc/X11/xorg.conf then
[09:00] <v507> what us that mean??
[09:00] <v507> what is that mean??
[09:00] <user3243> hold on
[09:00] <v507> ok
[09:00] <SquiRel> I will try the locate thing then
[09:00] <Jordan_U> SquiRel, Do you have xorg installed?
[09:01] <user3243> i would tell you how to do this easily but i'd get blammed for telling you to do something thats not supported
[09:01] <imaginator> Arv3n: if the automounting isn't working then perhaps: mount -t udf /dev/yourdevice /path
[09:01] <user3243> oh well ill do it anyway, apt-get install envy
[09:01] <cybergig> Um... quick question on the xchat program... how do I get it to show the nicklist... mine loaded without the nicklist and this is the first time i've used xchat.
[09:01] <Arv3n> imaginator, sec.
[09:01] <user3243> then use envy to fix your driver issues
[09:01] <v507> sorry
[09:01] <Arv3n> I get this error: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'.
[09:02] <Arv3n> imaginator, I get this error: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'.
[09:02] <v507> i´m using gutsy
[09:02] <imaginator> invalid "mount option"  ?
[09:02] <v507> user3243
[09:02] <user3243> just do sudo apt-get install envy
[09:02] <Jordan_U> user3243, envy is not in the repos
[09:02] <wers> Jordan_U, the slab menu here doesn't look like http://en.opensuse.org/Image:103gnome-desktop.jpg
[09:02] <user3243> its not?!
[09:02] <Arv3n> imaginator, i just reinsert the cd and it pops up with that. :)
[09:02] <Arv3n> i burned it from windows explorer as a data disc, thats why.
[09:02] <imaginator> Arv3n: ok, sounds like a bug with something then
[09:03] <Arv3n> i didnt use nero or anything.
[09:03] <v507> is ¨sudo apt-get install envy¨ for me, user3243????
[09:03] <imaginator> Arv3n: you should still be able to mount it I would assume
[09:03] <user3243> well it was, but jordan thinks it wont work
[09:03] <Arv3n> imaginator, me too.
[09:03] <Arv3n> o_o
[09:03] <cybergig> nevermind...
[09:03] <imaginator> Arv3n: try it in a terminal
[09:03] <imaginator> xterm or whatever you have available
[09:03] <v507> user3243, what about me??
[09:04] <Arv3n> imaginator, another error.
[09:04] <Jordan_U> user3211, Envy has never been in the repositories
[09:04] <Arv3n> imaginator: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,

[09:04] <Arv3n> whoops.
[09:04] <Arv3n> my bad.
[09:04] <user3243> hmm  must have a modded sources.list
[09:04] <user3243> i dont know v507
[09:04] <imaginator> Arv3n: it may be trying to mount it as iso9660
[09:04] <user3243> i cant help people like this im just too lazy
[09:04] <v507> after i use uname -a it said Linux 3botol 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[09:04] <user3243> i hope this isnt going to turn into one of those what goes around comes around things
[09:05] <Arv3n> imaginator: running dmesg | tail gives me this: [ 3531.667663] UDF-fs: No fileset found
[09:05] <Arv3n> [ 3531.762995] Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
[09:05] <user3243> yeah that means you can install nvidia drivers
[09:05] <Jordan_U> wers, Are you just talking about how "computer" is cut off in your panel?
[09:05] <user3243> since its supported on that version
[09:05] <imaginator> Arv3n: oh that's unfortunate
[09:05] <wers> that and other things
[09:05] <Arv3n> =/
[09:05] <Arv3n> Nothing i can do?
[09:05] <user3243> can you find restricted driver manager?
[09:05] <wers> the "Computer" text is cut
[09:05] <user3243> 507
[09:05] <wers> there is no search function
[09:05] <Jordan_U> wers, I am looking at http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs322&d=07526&f=Screenshot-1.png and that is all I see
[09:05] <v507> yuo
[09:05] <v507> yup
[09:06] <user3243> do you have your video card driver set to enabled
[09:06] <wers> the places component is has weird locations

[09:06] <Arv3n> imaginator, googling this seems to get a lot of seach results regarding ubuntu. imma check it out.
[09:06] <v507> i allready installed restricted driver
[09:06] <user3243> select the check box next to the thing that says accelerated whatever
[09:06] <user3243> oh, and it still says xgl not present, hmmm
[09:06] <v507> yes
[09:07] <user3243> your version comes with compiz fusion preinstalled
[09:07] <JohanSJA> help needed, now i have a dual boot os system, how can i reinstall my windows xp without it interrupt the grub boot loader so that i can still enter my ubuntu os? the last time i reinstall my xp, i can't enter my ubuntu
[09:07] <v507> so...

[09:08] <user3243> hmm, hmm, try this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=xgl+not+present&btnG=Search v507

[09:08] <user3243> then navigate to the file and open it and edit it
[09:09] <HelloThere> ok cool what is nautilus?
[09:09] <Myrtti> user3243: nnnooo
[09:09] <Myrtti> HelloThere: nnoo
[09:09] <user3243> or just run the text editor with sudo, "sudo gedit"
[09:09] <juuruichki> .
[09:09] <juuruichki> xD
[09:09] <Myrtti> HelloThere, user3243: neverever run graphical apps from the terminal with sudo
[09:10] <perfector> can someone recommend a good lightweight caching nameserver for a single user??
[09:10] <HelloThere> Why
[09:10] <imaginator> HelloThere: sudo youreditor /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:10] <Myrtti> HelloThere, user3243: use "gksudo" instead
[09:10] <richardjc> hello
[09:10] <imaginator> oops I'm behind :)
[09:10] <richardjc> can somebody help me edit grub bootloader?
[09:10] <jmspeex> Anyone one has compiz in a usable state (not crashing several times a day)? If so, any hints on reproducing that?
[09:11] <richardjc> i tried to edit the menu.lst file but it says i don't have permission
[09:11] <HelloThere> Why?
[09:11] <user3243> richard it took me forever to get compiz the way i liked it
[09:11] <user3243> i read forum after forum
[09:11] <user3243> tweak after tweak applied
[09:11] <user3243> i found it runs like crap in kde (kubuntu)
[09:11] <user3243> gnome is faster and more reliable with compiz fusion running
[09:11] <richardjc> grub not compiz, grub!
[09:11] <siddhant> richardjc, are u root?
[09:11] <richardjc> i should be
[09:12] <richardjc> i just installed it and i'm the only user
[09:12] <user3243> lol, that was meant for jmspeex
[09:12] <siddhant> sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:12] <v507> user3243
[09:12] <Myrtti> /me backs away slowly
[09:12] <v507> user3243, i need to know my video card
[09:12] <v507> how??
[09:12] <rkvirani> Hi All
[09:12] <jmspeex> user3243: which one was meant for me?
[09:13] <Tazzo> #ubuntu-pl
[09:13] <Omega512> hello guys i wanna make my own ubuntu iso image that contains my prefered packages preintalled and my prefered themes how can do that if it is posible plz
[09:13] <antler> v507: lspci
[09:13] <rkvirani> Im not much for hacking ubuntu but if I wanted JUST gnome and no other apps, how would I do this off a default ubuntu install
[09:13] <rkvirani> Only interested in gnome
[09:13] <user3243> the stuff about compiz and how it works like crap in kde (for me)
[09:13] <rkvirani> not firefox, not openoffice, not anything else just vanilla gnome
[09:14] <richardjc> how do i exi vim?
[09:14] <richardjc> exit
[09:14] <imaginator> escape :q
[09:14] <siddhant> escape :wq
[09:14] <open-gl> hello, i am now running under live cd but i am running it as a server
[09:14] <user3243> rkvirani the only way is to install ubuntu default, and start removing crap when youre done
[09:15] <open-gl> what is the command when not running on cd
[09:15] <user3243> they dont make ubuntu-lite, though there is an ubuntu-lite its old and dead
[09:15] <ozubu> hello, can some1 refer me to "how to" install berkeley db on ubuntu ?
[09:15] <open-gl> when i was on cd i would type cd
[09:15] <imaginator> siddhant: I fear that if richardjc doesn't know how to quit vim, that writing the changes with wq may be dangerous :)
[09:15] <rkvirani> user3243: ouch
[09:15] <Freku> xubuntu is lighter
[09:15] <rkvirani> no meta packages I can remove eh?
[09:15] <richardjc> huh?
[09:15] <antler> imaginator: hahahahahaha
[09:15] <richardjc> i don't get it!
[09:15] <Omega512> hello guys i wanna make my own ubuntu iso image that contains my prefered packages preintalled and my prefered themes how can do that if it is posible plz
[09:15] <siddhant> imaginator: correct. :)
[09:15] <user3243> yeah xubuntu is lighter but its still got all kinds of applications (mainly the ones he listed he doesnt want)
[09:16] <rkvirani> user3243: what if I installed xubuntu then just put gnome ontop
[09:16] <rkvirani> is there a package for just pure gnome
[09:16] <user3243> then it would hardly be xubuntu anymore lol
[09:16] <user3243> xubuntu still has all those apps you said you dont want
[09:16] <richardjc> i still don't understand how to exit guys :(
[09:16] <user3243> its easy to remove stuff in synaptic though
[09:16] <rkvirani> bleh
[09:16] <webspiderus> just out of curiosity, does ubuntu 7.10 usually detect monitors properly?
[09:16] <rkvirani> user3243: I will give it a try Im most used to the command line
[09:16] <kr00l> can somone help me install flash player 9
[09:17] <rkvirani> user3243: thanks
[09:17] <Freku> linuxfromscratch.org    i guess
[09:17] <user3243> sorry for assuming otherwise
[09:17] <imaginator> richardjc: vim and vi is a very primitive editor.  It uses modes.
[09:17] <siddhant> richardjc: if u have finished editing, press escape, and the :wq (for writing the changes) and :q(for quitting without changes)
[09:17] <rkvirani> kr00l: did you download the zip file?
[09:17] <imaginator> richardjc: when you press escape it turns to the command interpretation mode
[09:17] <rkvirani> Press Alt +F3
[09:17] <rkvirani> then goto Terminal
[09:17] <antler> richardjc: if you're editing, then press Esc to exit that mode. then hit SHIFT and SEMIcolon
 i'm using this: http://www.howtoforge.com/native_linux_flash_player9_in_ubuntu
[09:17] <rkvirani> then cd to the directory you downloaded to and type tar -z               http://www.howtoforge.com/native_linux_flash_player9_in_ubuntu
[09:17] <imaginator> richardjc: if you've already pressed a bunch of keys thatn you'll likely need to use :q!  to quit without saving
[09:17] <kr00l> i'm stuck on the installation path
[09:18] <imaginator> thatn/then*
[09:18] <antler> richardjc: at the COLON, enter 'q' w/o the quotes
[09:18] <alemones> hi guys, I have a problem, that Real player content doesnt appear at all in Firefox. I already followed some website instructions with no success.. any clue?
[09:18] <rkvirani> ok
[09:18] <rkvirani> so whats the problem?
[09:18] <rkvirani> where are you stuck?
 I'm stuck on installation path
[09:18] <imaginator> alemones: are you using the helix player or mplayer to play real player content?
[09:19] <tarelerulz> I want to reinstall my system ,but just just want it to effect the system files and not movies and documents I have mad on it.  Is there away to do that?
 it says dir= /usr/lib/mozilla but when i type it in nothing happens
[09:19] <rkvirani> these are old instructions
[09:19] <rkvirani> just press enter
[09:19] <alemones> imaginator: How do I find that out?
[09:19] <suprgnious> question:  I installed apache and php successfully on the root web dir /var/www but when I try to access a virtual host php doesn't work and my browser wants to download a phtml file. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
 can't i need a path
[09:19] <antler> tarelerulz: um, don't format the directories with the stuff you want kept?
[09:19] <rkvirani> kr00l: it should install the plugins to ~/.mozilla I think which is where they go by default
[09:19] <imaginator> alemones: in firefox type: about plugins
[09:19] <imaginator> err about:plugins
[09:19] <aLeSD_> hi all
[09:19] <rkvirani> kr00l: it should find the path for you
[09:20] <richardjc> i just used NANO! :)
[09:20] <richardjc> VIM was too confusing
[09:20] <rkvirani> or just put it in your home directory where plugins will be searched for when you load FF
[09:20] <richardjc> thanks guys
[09:20] <imaginator> richardjc: good choice
[09:20] <aLeSD_> how can I install ubuntu from text mode ? VESA driver can't found an usable conf to start x
[09:20] <rkvirani> vi is the shiz
[09:20] <antler> nano.......*gulp*
[09:20] <newkaka> hello everyone
[09:20] <kr00l> rkvirani> nothing
[09:20] <rkvirani> ? What do you mean nothing
[09:20] <rkvirani> is it still asking you?
[09:20] <tarelerulz> Antler , that is kind of hard I have stuff in /home/username/video , documents and so on . It all is not on some different partition .
[09:20] <kr00l> rkvirani> you know of any way to get flashplayer 9 installed
[09:21] <alemones> imaginator: Helix is the one
[09:21] <rkvirani> kr00l: the installation should be actually installable from the browser
[09:21] <rkvirani> ooh or do you have the old 8 installed right now?
[09:21] <imaginator> aLeSD_: what kind of machine are you using that doesn't have a usable VESA driver?
[09:21] <perfector> pdnsd or lwres ???? suggestions pls
[09:21] <kr00l> rkvirani> i have none installed now
[09:21] <Myrtti> !flash | kr00l
[09:21] <ubotu> kr00l: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[09:21] <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.
[09:21] <kr00l> rkvirani> i want to watch youtube stuff but i can't
[09:21] <aLeSD_> imaginator: ati unknown device 7942
[09:21] <webspiderus> just out of curiosity, does ubuntu 7.10 usually detect monitors properly? I've got a dell FP 2001 which is in ubuntu's list of monitors, but it doesn't autodetect as that. If i select the dell fp 2001 as the monitor, and restart X, however, then i get a vertically scrambled image..
[09:22] <antler> tarelerulz: reinstalling the system doesn't mean that you must wipe out /home
[09:22] <imaginator> aLeSD_: hmm.  So you're just trying to install the system, or have you already installed?
[09:22] <aLeSD_> imaginator: tringh
[09:22] <antler> oh
[09:22] <aLeSD_> imaginator: xorg says : screen found but no usable configurtion
[09:22] <Johns> hi
[09:22] <Myrtti> antler: if it's not on separate partition
[09:22] <antler> tarelerulz: you're /home and / are in the same partition
[09:23] <rkvirani> so go to youtube
[09:23] <antler> ah
[09:23] <Arv3n> Hello.
[09:23] <newkaka> hello
[09:23] <rkvirani> and then mozilla will tell you that you need the plugin
[09:23] <Arv3n> Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free?
[09:23] <rkvirani> then use mozilla to install it
[09:23] <imaginator> aLeSD_: I've never installed Ubuntu from text mode, so unfortunately I'm not familiar with that.  If the VESA driver and configuration aren't working that indicates something that may bring you trouble in the future.
[09:23] <richardjc> hi again, where can i find the partition manager?
[09:23] <rkvirani> Arv3n: yes, your own machine
[09:23] <newkaka> they are talling about ff
[09:23] <Arv3n> rkwirani, I don't plan on keeping my machine up 24/7.
[09:23] <rkvirani> Arv3n: hehe :D
[09:23] <Arv3n> rkwirani, it can't even handle that.
[09:24] <rkvirani> Arv3n: sorry then, no idea :D
[09:24] <siddhant> is there an "rpm -q " equivalent in ubuntu?
[09:24] <Arv3n> rkwirani, I'm trying to create my own distro, but not enough money for a repo.
[09:24] <kr00l> does anyone know how to get youtube videos working with firefox?
[09:24] <rkvirani> Arv3n: I do recall some peoples giving out space
[09:24] <Arv3n> kr00l, install Flash
[09:24] <rkvirani> kr00l: me :D
[09:24] <kr00l> how?
[09:24] <richardjc> help guys, where can i find the partition manager on ubuntu?
[09:24] <rkvirani> Arv3n: he is trying
[09:24] <Arv3n> rkwirani, who?
[09:25] <Arv3n> It's not like I can't give money or anything.
[09:25] <rkvirani> Arv3n: kr00l is trying to install flash
[09:25] <Arv3n> It's just that I can't right now, and I don't get that much, anyway.
[09:25] <newkaka> you can try alien
[09:25] <rkvirani> Arv3n: Im trying to get him to do the browser way
[09:25] <Arv3n> My family is doing bad financially atm.
[09:25] <imaginator> webspiderus: Ubuntu doesn't really AFAIK write code to detect monitors.  I think that's mostly X.org and their usage/misusage? of DDC (a VESA protocol)
[09:25] <tarelerulz> antler , my / and /home are in the same partition
[09:25] <rkvirani> hey kr00l try 'apt-get install swf-player'
[09:25] <Arv3n> rkwirani, search google for "flash about"
[09:25] <kr00l> rkvirain i installed the non-free plugin and it doesn't do anyting
[09:25] <Arv3n> rkwirani, click on the first link
[09:25] <alemones> imaginator: Helix is the one I have in about:plugins
[09:25] <Arv3n> rkwirani, then install it
[09:25] <rkvirani> Arv3n: there are some places that give space for stuff like that but Im not sure where
[09:25] <richardjc> anyone?
[09:26] <Arv3n> Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free?
[09:26] <Omega512> Arv3n: i wanna make my own ubuntu iso image that contains my prefered packages preintalled and my prefered themes how can do that if it is posible plz
[09:26] <rkvirani> kr00l: DID YOU RESTART FIREFOX?
[09:26] <Arv3n> Omega512, search google for Reconstructor
[09:26] <imaginator> alemones: you may find that removing helix player with: sudo synaptic  and installing mplayer and its plugins works better.
[09:26] <kr00l> rkvirain yes
[09:26] <rkvirani> ouch sorry for caps
[09:26] <Arv3n> Omega512, http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
[09:26] <tarelerulz> There must be a way to over write the os files them self with out formatting or something? I am not dumb for thinking so
[09:26] <rkvirani> kr00l: all your windows
[09:26] <webspiderus> imaginator: there was a detect button, so I figured there would be some detection .. my fault, I suppose :P Is there a way to fix vertical scrambling though? Because I get the login window in high resolution, and then my desktop just appears scrambled, whereas in my 'stable' configuration, everything's just at a low resolution
[09:26] <rkvirani> you have to close _all_ your windows
[09:26] <Arv3n> Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free?
[09:26] <imaginator> alemones: another option is the proprietary real player based on helix player.
[09:26] <Myrtti> rkvirani: the flash installation is broken
[09:26] <antler> tarelerulz: you can, but i wouldn't do that
[09:27] <rkvirani> Myrtti: which the FF one or the ubuntu one?
[09:27] <rkvirani> Myrtti: I dont understand why FF is not prompting him to install it
[09:27] <antler> tarelerulz: just don't format / before the actual install
[09:27] <rkvirani> bbias
[09:27] <Myrtti> the ubuntu one is used by the ff one
[09:27] <Omega512> Arv3n thnx
 yes i did but i still can't get it to work
[09:27] <Myrtti> !flashissues
[09:27] <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.
 how do i get swf-player
[09:28] <imaginator> webspiderus: it's unfortunate that X is such a problem, especially with regard to configuration.  After using Linux for over 10 years, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and now Ubuntu, I find that X is the worst of them all to get working right.
[09:28] <alemones> imaginator: thx will try and let you know, thx!
[09:28] <Arv3n> Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free?
[09:28] <imaginator> alemones: you're welcome
[09:28] <Myrtti> !repeat |  Arv3n
[09:28] <ubotu> Arv3n: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:29] <tarelerulz> Antler , when it finds a ext3 partition just tell it to use it and not to format it  and it should just over write the os files ? is that what I am understanding
[09:29]  * syc_ mohon pamid
[09:29] <Arv3n> Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo?
[09:29]  * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb
[09:29] <Arv3n> I can pay.
[09:29] <webspiderus> imaginator: yeah, it's a shame .. when I tried ubuntu a few years back, I didn't have such problems. So is vertical scrambling usually caused by some singular setting, or is it just a consequence of X being generally messed up?

[09:30] <imaginator> webspiderus: it's a combination of problems.  X11 is very complex, and bends over backwards to support a vast amount of hardware and different configurations.  The video card makers are also very resistant to giving out proprietary drivers in general, though I hear that ATI is doing better now.
[09:30] <antler> i don't remember whether ubuntu has a resize partition utility, tarelerulz
[09:30] <imaginator> So the nv driver that ships with X.org is partly maintained and updated by the X.org folk, and Nvidia
[09:31] <imaginator> But the proprietary nvidia driver that Nvidia distributes, isn't maintained by X.org, and is subject to potential problems when X.org changes.
[09:31] <tarelerulz> I think it does  , I used it for making space out of my ntfs so I don't see why it would not do that for ext3
[09:31] <antler> if it does, then resize, create, move, reinstall os on old partition
[09:31] <fotoflo> how do i log all logins and logouts on my ubuntu server?
[09:31] <antler> *move the stuff you want to keep over
[09:32] <antler> *to the newly created ext3 partition
[09:32] <webspiderus> imaginator: ah, I see. thanks for your help :D hopefully I can figure this out someday
[09:32] <newkaka> cfisk is good
[09:32] <antler> tarelerulz: when it comes to partitioning, take your time and backup your stuff first.
[09:32] <Arv3n> Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo?

[09:33] <tarelerulz> Antler , i thought you might say that.  I don't see why you just can't over right just the os files .  I have had the windows mess up and I just over wrote the os files .  That is handy feature .
[09:34] <NooBBoon> I was trying to re-size my partitions and I seem to have lost my /home/myusername directory. Am I totally borked?
[09:34] <antler> tarelerulz: i've never done that, always preferred fresh installs.
[09:34] <tarelerulz> I may do just that myself.
[09:34] <fotoflo> urgent question: how do i log all logins and logouts on my ubuntu server? google is giving me wierd results because the word log and login are so similar
[09:35] <tarelerulz> I have an dell laptop that  is having some problems.  Samba is not working right and it did before and I did not change anything
[09:35] <antler> tarelerulz: but you might consider giving /home its own partition to avoid such worries in the future
[09:35] <tarelerulz> I  just maybe I could over write the os files and start over ,but keep all my media
[09:36] <tarelerulz> I guess that is good reason to do such. I have all wonder that before when I read about. Why would someone wont to do that and now I know why
[09:36] <johan12> hello
[09:37] <antler> tarelerulz: i never keep anything important in the same partition that contains system files.
[09:37] <Arv3n> Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo?
[09:37] <Arv3n> This sucks. =/
[09:37] <antler> Arv3n: i don't think anyone is kind enough.

[09:38] <elninja> I haven't researched hardware in awhile, but now I'm looking to build a new machine. Any tips on good forums/websites for info on new hardware, pc builds, benchmarks, etc?
[09:38] <aLeSD_> mmm .... but intel core duo is an 64 bits processor ?
[09:39] <Myrtti> elninja: ubuntu has hardware compatibilty db
[09:39] <fadey> Hi. Does anyone knows where the default gusty kernel .deb package (the one that is on cd) could be found?
[09:39] <cew_suka> hai
[09:39] <tarelerulz> Antler, in the future I may keep /home out side the rest of the system just for that reason . Media is one thing I like to keep up on . sometimes you can't remember where you got that song or movie.
[09:39] <bluefoxx> so i just got my gutsy CDs, and booted from it, but to no avail, still not detecting the SATA drive period
[09:40] <aLeSD_> mmm .... but intel core duo is an 64 bits processor ? cause I'm starting the 64 bits version of ubuntu live cd ... and it works
[09:40] <bluefoxx> so im thinking i get a SATA>USB adaptor, will that work?
[09:40] <KNRO> Any packagers around here?
[09:40] <bluefoxx> will bug on forums in morning, too late here in my town
[09:40] <Arv3n> KNRO, I could try.
[09:41] <Arv3n> KNRO, what are you trying to package?
[09:41] <antler> his whites, an iron, and two pairs of shoes.
[09:41] <KNRO> Arv3n: I already have a package for other distributions, but I'm having problems compiling the .dsc file required for xUbuntu systems.
[09:41] <elninja> Rather than having my home folder on another partition, I like to just create symbolic links in my home folder to another partition for things like Videos, Music, Documents, Desktop, etc. That way I can dual-boot another setup, and the settings and configs don't overlap.
[09:42] <Arv3n> KNRO, i have no idea, sorry.
[09:42] <imaginator> aLeSD_: yes, AFAIK that processor is compatible with the AMD x86-64 instruction set, although Intel calls it something else.
[09:42] <rkvirani> Arv3n: did Kr00l get flash installed?
[09:42] <rkvirani> What is broken about it?
[09:42] <Toma-> I cant get ' and " to work in virtualbox. the guest OS is gutsy and ive tried remapping the keys a few times. any tips?
[09:42] <Arv3n> rkvirani, i have no idea.
[09:42] <rkvirani> he just kind of buzzed off eh
[09:42] <sleepinsam> they changed the tar.gz file at adobe and the installler is borked
[09:43] <KNRO> Arv3n: I have a .tar.gz file, just need to have it packaged for xUbuntu systems.
[09:43] <antler> elninja: yeah, i like that. i personally don't keep anything important in /home
[09:43] <aLeSD_> imaginator: but it's a 64bits arch ?
[09:43] <menllyos> aLeSD_: im using the 64b ubuntu right now on a core2duo so its works just fine :)
[09:43] <aLeSD_> wow
[09:43] <imaginator> aLeSD_: yes, 64-bit pointers.
[09:43] <Arv3n> KNRO, binary or source?
[09:43] <aLeSD_> wowowow... my pc rules
[09:43] <imaginator> 48-bit address space, which you'd have a lot of difficulty filling I suspect.
[09:43] <Arv3n> KNRO, if it's source.. just do a sudo checkinstall
[09:44] <Arv3n> KNRO, google it.
[09:44] <sleepinsam> menllyos: can you get flash on that?
[09:44] <KNRO> Arv3n: I did, and I made some progress, but I got stuck in formatting the source file with the debian subdirectory in order to install properly. This is why I'm asking for experienced help.
[09:45] <menllyos> not really, i tried to install it but it doesnt work... but since im just using linux for less then a week its prolly my mistake :P
[09:45] <elninja> antler, yeah it keeps it much cleaner and easier to save the important stuff.
[09:45] <alemones> imaginator: thx, I'm working on it. Still another problem I have: When I boot Ubuntu 7.10, the resolution is 1280x800 for about 0.2 seconds, then switches to not-native 1024x768. How do I fix this?
[09:45] <Arv3n> KNRO, I don't know, I'm not very experienced in that area.
[09:46] <imaginator> alemones: Ubuntu comes with a tool for changing the display size.  I forget where it is, because I don't use Gnome.
[09:46] <imaginator> it's in one of the menus.  if it doesn't work then try xrandr, and if that doesn't work ask a question
[09:46] <sankat> you can try one thing..
[09:47] <sankat> open xterm
[09:47] <sankat> sudo -s
[09:47] <sankat> and then ]
[09:47] <sankat> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:47] <sankat> sorry typo
[09:47] <sankat> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:47] <sankat> this would probably fix the problem.
[09:47] <sankat> make sure u restart the xserver
[09:49] <logd> hi i've installed wifi cards on two pcs configure ips and created a wlan or better says it looks like... mean the client pc connects to the server successfully signal is good and tx/rx bytes increases wheter i do something but there's no connectivity mean even ping server client from server and viceversa fails

[09:50] <wers> can you suggest any "Menu Bar" (the default ubuntu menu) alternative? I am using a single panel and I want to conserve panel space. Slab menu for ubuntu, on the other hand, doesn't integrate well with the desktop
[09:50] <NooBBoon> I mangled up something while repartitioning my drives. My /home directory is empty now, but I found the old /home/username at /media/sda5.  What do I need to do to fix? Should I edit /etc/fstab or should i try the partitioning part of the LiveCD again?
[09:50] <Arv3n> Does anyone have expericen building a distro/
[09:50] <sankat> @wers...you can try ksmoothdock
[09:50] <sleepinsam> ximian, but its for chimpanzees
[09:51] <user3243> avant window manager is the prettiest dock of all
[09:51] <tarelerulz> What is that partition that  both dell and hp have for  laptop before windows on the disk? I think it recover ,but I am not sure.  It is something that Dell or hp would use if you To help with hardware problems
[09:51] <imaginator> did you configure the routes for your network?
[09:51] <wers> sankat, I do not want a dock. I just want a menu bar applet alternative for the gnome panel
[09:51] <imaginator> logd: that was directed at you
[09:51] <sankat> ha sorry..my bad.
[09:51] <logd> no and i guess that's the problem
[09:52] <imaginator> logd: try: route show
[09:52] <imaginator> most likely you'll want to make your router be a gateway.
[09:52] <NooBBoon> wers: how about gimmie? might be worth a look
[09:52] <wers> hmmm.. interesting NooBBoon
[09:53] <NooBBoon> i use it on my panel, but it has a stand alone too i think
[09:53] <wers> imma look at it. i tried it before but it seemed very confusing
[09:53] <logd> i'm not using router nor access point i need to make the client connects to the server via wifi then access th internet htrouggh
[09:53] <logd> btw route show says show isn't a valid param
[09:53] <|DuReX|> is there no option included in the Alternate cd to load dmraid @ setup ? :(
[09:53] <morran> has anyone here managed winecfg/wine not to crash with a ICE1724 based soundcard?
[09:54] <imaginator> logd: oops.  my mistake.  just run route without arguments
[09:54] <logd> whereas route without arguments has three lines but none about wlan0 which is the wifi conn
[09:54] <morran> feels like i've read the whole internet without any luck :(
[09:54] <imaginator> it's been a while since I've configured my wireless, but even then I had to set a default gateway
[09:55] <alemones> imaginator: I tried it, but what I need is that when I start Ubuntu the resolution stay 1280x800, not go down... xrandr helps fix this?
[09:55] <morran> so .any. help would be appreciated
[09:55] <logd> well i can route add default gw  and see
[09:55] <imaginator> alemones: the xrandr program may.  It lists the resolutions and you can set a resolution with xrandr -s
[09:55] <logd> but it doesn't goes

[09:57] <imaginator> morran: I've had trouble with Wine too.  For me it faults with the Nvidia GL library.  Over the years some things have worked in Wine, only to break later on for me.  I just tend to not use it anymore.
[09:57] <iNeo> AstronautBB: yes
[09:57] <sleepinsam> ummmm might try xubuntu
[09:58] <morran> imaginator: :( wine just "hard crashes" for me... can't even run winecfg.
[09:58] <AstronautBB> anything I can do to speed up the boot time?
[09:59] <NooBBoon> morran: The sound troubles i had in wine were resolved by making sure the wine configuration used alsa and not oss...not much help but that's all i've got there
[09:59] <sleepinsam> AstronautBB: what do you have loading at boot time?
[09:59] <morran> but it seems, or im pretty sure its the problem is the soundcard.

[10:03] <imaginator> cam-: how is it failing?
[10:03] <cam-> i installed the libc devs and the kernel headers for the kernel im using and re-ran the drivers on the nvidia website, which recompiled it for me

[10:05] <imaginator> Beererde: libGL.so is generally from either from a proprietary video card driver, or a Mesa package.
[10:06] <Beererde> imaginator: and the mesa package is not hardware accelerated, right?
[10:06] <Beererde> imaginator: is there a restricted package in ubuntu which i could reinstall?
[10:06] <imaginator> Beererde: correct, not usually.  Though there is a project based on it that is.
[10:06] <Leo1989> Benalex: mb you need static ip?
[10:06] <Benalex> Leo1989: no I don't need static IP
[10:07] <Flannel> Beererde: Are you using the google earth in the medibuntu repositories?
[10:07] <imaginator> Beererde: if you have the restricted driver manager it may work, though it's known to use the wrong drivers at times
[10:07] <Beererde> Flannel: no, i just downloaded it to a local dir
[10:08] <Flannel> Beererde: You should try the one from the repos. http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/g/googleearth/googleearth_4.2.198.2451-0medibuntu4_amd64.deb
[10:08] <Beererde> Flannel: ok i'll try it, thx
[10:09] <morran> NooBBoon: hehe, thx alot... got wine to work by removing the wine oss driver :)
[10:09] <postmodern> how do i install rubygems in ubuntu
[10:09] <liryc> hello #ubuntu
[10:10] <postmodern> i installed rubygems, did gem update --system
[10:10] <NooBBoon> morran: great! i was very happy when i finally got wine working!
[10:10] <postmodern> now it doesn't load
[10:10] <American-Tech> Does anybody here use mail notification (The program)
[10:10] <morran> NooBBoon: i'm very happy too... havn't tried anything yet, but it's a good start :)
[10:10] <Benalex> hello liryc
[10:11] <arm9_linux> hello
[10:12] <American-Tech> Does anybody here use mail notification (The program)
[10:12] <arm9_linux> mail tool?
[10:12] <American-Tech> yes
[10:12] <Sarek> hi
[10:12] <arm9_linux> thundbrid is better
[10:13] <liryc> I've a problem with thunderbird. My rss accounts don't load anymore web page (blank, no resume, nothing) related to new rss item. This seems related to install of enigmail I just installed.
[10:13] <sandr-> anyone using google earth through the repositories ? googleearth-package ? I have a question about the extra packages you can see here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49948/
[10:13] <Beererde> Flannel: hmm, still the same error. how can i reinstall the restricted gl drivers (nvidia)?
[10:13] <arm9_linux> I so sorry
[10:13] <arm9_linux> I never use rss
[10:13] <arm9_linux> :(
[10:13] <Sarek> can I somehow convice Samba to use the standard user database of the os? so that when I create a system user he/she can automatically authenticate via with the credentials for samba shares?
[10:14] <Beererde> political correctness ftw...
[10:15] <liryc> I use rss with thunderbird since one year and it worked perfectly until today.
[10:17] <stat> anyone know stuff about with multi repository systems?
[10:17] <Flannel> !anyone | stat
[10:17] <ubotu> stat: 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?
[10:17] <LOGAN> can I copy part of the live cd to harddisk and continue booting from that?
[10:18] <LOGAN> so the cd drive is freed up?
[10:18] <Flannel> Beererde: nvidia package would be the one to supply it it seems, yes.
[10:18] <liryc> and I have one error message in thunderbird console : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49949/
[10:18] <Toma-> Flannel➜ i fixed the '" problem. seems the -ose version of virtualbox is a little behind on the vbox development
[10:18] <Beererde> Flannel: hmm ok, how would this be called?
[10:18] <Beererde> Flannel: nvidia-glx?
[10:19] <Flannel> Beererde: this is gutsy?
[10:19] <Beererde> Flannel: yes
[10:19] <stat> ok svn - multi repos system, having trouble getting it to work... single repos no issues
[10:20] <Beererde> Flannel: before, i had 7.04 and gearth worked, then i did a dist-upgrade which crashed in the mid of updating, i fixed it with dpkg-reconfigure --all, but the libs are not working anymore
[10:20] <Beererde> i mean the gl libs
[10:20] <Beererde> glxgears works
[10:21] <kumu> Hello. :) I was in here a bit earlier when I was installing Ubuntu. I have Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer, but I'd like Windows to be the OS that loads by default. How do I do this?
[10:21] <Flannel> Beererde: first, check manually to see if that file is there
[10:22] <Flannel> Beererde: I'm thinking maybe the "error" isn't a "not found" sort of thing, but more of a "not compatable" for whatever reason.  Unfortunately the error isn't too verbose.
[10:22] <LOGAN> well i guess thats a no :)
[10:22] <Beererde> Flannel: yes it is /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[10:23] <Beererde> Flannel: yes, seems so.. i think it's just because google earth is 32 bit and the lib is 64 bit, but i don't now how it could work then with ubuntu 7.04
[10:23] <bazhang> kumu: that would be best dealt with in ##windows; unless you have a problem with the grub menu that is
[10:23] <Flannel> Beererde: There are 32 bit... hmm, do you have ia32-libs installed?
[10:24] <kumu> bazhang: I don't know what the grub menu is?
[10:24] <bazhang> LOGAN: why would you want to do that?
[10:24] <g0rb3h> Good morning
[10:24] <bazhang> kumu: you have a dual boot?
[10:24] <imaginator> kumu: install the grub docs, and then info grub, and read the full manual
[10:24] <Beererde> Flannel: yes i have it installed, but it could have beend damaged.. can i check it without reinstalling? it's 300 mb
[10:24] <Beererde> Flannel: there is also no gl lib in /usr/lib32
[10:25] <Flannel> Beererde: I doubt it was damaged, unless you went around deleting random files.
[10:25] <liryc> So I found the problem. Enigmail desactive the html view in body messages by default (text only). I just reactivated html view.
[10:25] <kumu> imaginator: How do I get the grub docs? Sorry, I'm still pretty new :(
[10:25] <LOGAN> bazhang I now use a linux that allows copying one folder to hdd and when boot from cd-rom it continues booting from HDD
[10:25] <Beererde> Flannel: i used the nvidia installer, which sometimes overwrites some files
[10:25] <LOGAN> (Or usb stick)
[10:25] <bazhang> LOGAN: what distro is that?
[10:25] <LOGAN> this way the cd drive is freed
[10:25] <LOGAN> itts http://dynebolic.org/
[10:25] <Flannel> Beererde: I'm unfortunately not an expert at all in regards to the 32-on-64 stuff.  You'll probably want to cross your fingers for someone who is.
[10:25] <YouBucky> Hey Guys, anyone here using an ATI X1300 video card or knows how to install the driver with directing rendering (yes) working?
[10:25] <tiredbones> I just download ubuntu for the third time. Normaly I just right click on the iso icon select write to disc and it works. I am using debian with xfce currently. I tried gnomebaker, but it see the cd as data. Has the method for get a iso image change or is there another method I should us?
[10:26] <Beererde> Flannel: hmm ok
[10:26] <imaginator> kumu: look through the ubuntu menus for something called synaptic.  there's probably also something on the ubuntu wiki.  I'll check
[10:26] <Um_homem_feio> tets
[10:26] <bazhang> LOGAN: ah, nesting is what you are referring to
[10:26] <Beererde> Flannel: thanks anyway, the medibuntu package is a good tip :)
[10:26] <LOGAN> bazhang: sort of, ubuntu live cd does not free the CD drive
[10:26] <bazhang> kumu: you have a dual boot but dont know the grub menu?
[10:27] <LOGAN> dyne:bolic continues live cd booting from a copy of the hdd
[10:27] <kumu> bazhang: All I did was install Ubuntu on another partition
[10:27] <bazhang> LOGAN: you could set up a persistent livecd that can have changes saved back to it, or a usb key that did likewise
[10:27] <bazhang> kumu: and now the windows is lost?
[10:27] <imaginator> kumu: when you're at the boot menu after the BIOS do you see WIndows in the list?
[10:27] <Leo1989> kumu: There is a black screen with list of OS'es you can launch
[10:28] <kumu> imaginator: Yes, I do. Right now, though, if I just let it sit for 10 seconds then it'll load Ubuntu; I want it to load Windows instead
[10:28] <LOGAN> bazhang: I tried and didnt work. besides this is like starting boot from CD and continues from hdd (faster) and leaves CD drive free for use
[10:28] <bazhang> LOGAN: you been to pendrive linux?
[10:28] <Mba7eth> morning all
[10:28] <g0rb3h> anyone have any experiance with webcam stuff, specificaly gspcav?
[10:28] <LOGAN> bazhang: my computer will not boot from usb stick
[10:29] <godlines> anybody can help with a compiling question?
[10:29] <pengo__> !flash
[10:29] <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
[10:29] <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.
[10:29] <Flannel> kumu: This is what you need to do: open up your grub menu (gksu "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"), at the very bottom is your windows entry, the line after it (leave no blank line) add "savedefault" then up at the top, where it says "default 0" change that to "default saved"
[10:29] <tomd> kumu: put some duct tape on the down arrow of your keyboard; 50% of the time windows will start by default.. how much more can you ask for
[10:29] <nuGzthk> hey
[10:29] <nuGzthk> woot
[10:29] <imaginator> kumu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS
[10:29] <LOGAN> the flash fix will be coming in APRIL 2008! :)
[10:30] <Beererde> Flannel: i reinstalled ia32-libs and now it works again :)
[10:30] <Flannel> Beererde: nice.  Glad something worked
[10:30] <Beererde> Flannel: yeah :)
[10:31] <nuGzthk> how do i install steam ?
[10:31] <bazhang> tomd: haha
[10:31] <bazhang> LOGAN: what about from cd session?
[10:32] <LOGAN> bazhang: i can boot from cd but that causes my cd to be n use :)
[10:32] <bazhang> LOGAN: what do you need the cd drive for?
[10:32] <LOGAN> bazhang: watching dvds, etc
[10:32] <Mba7eth> guys how can i find where is my com driver ?
[10:33] <bazhang> LOGAN: geekbox
[10:33] <LOGAN> bazhang: cd burning
[10:33] <kumu> Alright, thanks everyone :) If I don't come back, it worked!
[10:33] <bazhang> heh
[10:33] <bazhang> Mba7eth: com driver? what is that
[10:33] <YouBucky> Hey Guys, anyone here using an ATI X1300 video card or knows how to install the driver with directing rendering working?
[10:34] <imaginator> LOGAN: it's unlikely that you could watch any DVDs anyway using a Ubuntu CD, rather than an install
[10:34] <bazhang> http://geexbox.org/ LOGAN
[10:34] <imaginator> LOGAN: libdvdcss is missing for one thing, so most commercial DVDs wouldn't play
[10:34] <Mba7eth> bazhang serial com
[10:34] <LOGAN> imaginator: well, I watched dvds while I wait untill windows gets fixed
[10:35] <bazhang> Mba7eth: still no idea what you mean; the video card drivers? the wireless? other?
[10:35] <LOGAN> bazhang: thanks
[10:35] <bazhang> LOGAN: no worries
[10:35] <arm9_linux> your com does not work?
[10:35] <bazhang> what is a com?
[10:35] <Mba7eth> bazhang on your  PC there is a port called com, correct ?
[10:36] <bazhang> not that I know of...
[10:36] <arm9_linux> com port,like super termial in windows
[10:36] <arm9_linux> the com driver is builtin
[10:36] <bazhang> any other ##windows experts want to chime in?
[10:37] <LOGAN> im now on a live cd session using dyne:bolic distro. thats something I miss from ubuntu :)
[10:37] <Mba7eth> yes i want to connect a cisco drivce to my pc using console cable
[10:37] <Flannel> Mba7eth: serial?
[10:37] <Mba7eth> arm9_linux i know that but where is it location exactly
[10:38] <Mba7eth> arm9_linux i'm using minicom to connect to my switch .,... but i have to define where is the com
[10:38] <arm9_linux> I think you should find some tools
[10:38] <bazhang> Mba7eth: is this a hardware question? there should be a channel for that..
[10:38] <arm9_linux> ok,let me see,wait a moment
[10:38] <Mba7eth> arm9_linux like : /dev/tty9
[10:38] <ifireball> Mba7eth: its probably /dev/ttyS0
[10:38] <Mr-LonelY> hi..anyone can help me? Got those error > checking for gcc... gcc
[10:38] <Mr-LonelY> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[10:39] <imaginator> Mba7eth: grep your dmesg for serial or ttyS
[10:39] <ifireball> Mba7eth: or /dev/ttyS1 if you have 2 pots
[10:39] <Mba7eth> ifireball Special thanks to you and the rest :)
[10:40] <arm9_linux> why not try minicom tool
[10:40] <arm9_linux> sudo apt-get install minicom
[10:41] <alemones> imaginator: I removed Helix and installed Mplayer but still can't see real player content in firefox... ;(
[10:41] <arm9_linux> com1--->ttyS0
[10:41] <ifireball> arm9_linux: he did, he just wanted to know which device to use it with
[10:41] <arm9_linux> com2-->ttyS1
[10:42] <arm9_linux> ls -al /dev/ttyS0
[10:42] <alemones> imaginator: but Helix still appears as RealPlay compatible plugin in about:plugins...
[10:42] <arm9_linux> see that, the own is root
[10:42] <bazhang> alemones: why not get the real player from real.com
[10:42] <alemones> imaginator: MPlayer too...
[10:42] <vinicius> it seems i can't download from any https location, with firefox, wget or any other way.... what can it be?
[10:42] <arm9_linux> so you should type"sudo minicom"
[10:43] <alemones> bazhang: many told me Mplayer would be ok... actually I have RealPlayer 9 installed too
[10:43] <Mba7eth> arm9_linux this is what i'm using .... i didn't find any other tool in linux for com port except minicom
[10:43] <vinicius> it says my certificates are bad or something like that
[10:43] <alemones> bazhang: but I think I have the plugins messed up :(
[10:43] <arm9_linux> have you set the minicom crectly?
[10:43] <vinicius> i already purged and reinstalled firefox, but it don't seem to be a problem only with firefox, but with my computer
[10:44] <Mba7eth> arm9_linux alreay got it working ... just do the configuration in sudo mode, save them, quit, then use it with using ur normal user
[10:44] <ifireball> Mba7eth: its because there aren't called "com ports" they are called "serial ports" there are plenty of other tools, but minicom is good enough
[10:45] <Mba7eth> ifireball : serial com ..... sorry i guess confused you guys alot :)
[10:45] <bazhang> hehe
[10:45] <arm9_linux> yes
[10:45] <arm9_linux> serial port
[10:45] <Mba7eth> sorry again
[10:45] <imaginator> alemones: this may help with getting helix to not be in the list: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/uninstall.html
[10:46] <Mba7eth> ifireball what are the other tool for using "SERIAL PORT" :)
[10:46] <ifireball> Mba7eth: move along the the windows detox center :P
[10:46] <imaginator> Mba7eth: cu is one tool, though I don't know if it comes with Ubuntu.  It's probably an apt-get install thing
[10:47] <bazhang> serial ports are legacy and not included in many new computers
[10:47] <arm9_linux> if you like,you can run a xp OS in vmware,and use the "supertermial" tool
[10:47] <imaginator> minicom is fancier.
[10:47] <arm9_linux> :-)
[10:47] <arm9_linux> haha~
[10:48] <nuGzthk> how do i install steam?
[10:48] <Oli``> nuGzthk: through Wine. You need to do a couple of things first though
[10:48] <Mba7eth> hmmmm well ... if there is something like CRT in windows? i 'll be very thankfull
[10:48] <imaginator> what is CRT?
[10:48] <vinicius> ???? anyone have any idea how to help me?
[10:48] <rsk> a monitor
[10:48] <nuGzthk> Oli how do i cuz i cant get the file to open thorugh wine

[10:49] <cybergig> yo
[10:49] <arm9_linux> my english is poor :-(
[10:50] <bazhang> not so

[10:50] <^Sarthor> HI, my client use to assign server IP the cleint comptuer? any solution to stop them?/
[10:50] <cybergig> hmmmmm
[10:50] <imaginator> arm9_linux: that's what I thought, but I wasn't connecting it with the serial port discussion
[10:50] <ifireball> vinicius: w8, you're saying you can connect to HTTPS but getting certificate errors?
[10:50] <vinicius> ifireball, yes...
[10:51] <Oli``> Anybody know why I can't set WINE as the default program for EXE files? Crossover wont let go =(

[10:58] <YouBucky> obotu, Thank you. I've read that forum but no luck with the getting direct rendering working. Using compiz-fusion I get crazt lag time when I enable "reflections". I assume this is due to the fact that direct rendering is not working
[10:58] <bjwebb> bazhang: ive figuere it out
[10:58] <bazhang> bjwebb: nice work!
[10:58] <ifireball> vinicius: ok. I'll answer there if I can
[10:58] <alemones> I don't know enough linux to follow instructions from a 'higher' level (one sentence meaning doing several things).. but that would be too long. I propose I uninstall Real Player, to see if it drags the Helix one away and then retry Mplayer...
[10:58] <imaginator> alemones: so you should be able to remove any plugin by deleting the files in either directory.
[10:58] <bjwebb> i needed to stop the mouseemu daemon if you're interested
[10:58] <alemones> What is ~ ?
[10:58] <imaginator> alemones: ~ is your home directory
[10:59] <bazhang> bjwebb: you add it to the forums and mark it solved :}
[10:59] <alemones> ok ;)
[10:59] <imaginator>  /home/alemones for example
[10:59] <alemones> that's a big leap forward for my linux knowledge :)

[10:59] <tuntun> Hi. How can I get icon spacing on the desktop so they don't overlap, like windows?
[11:00] <arm9_linux> the more practice,the more you know

[11:00] <g0rb3h> vinicius: I belive there was some one here yesterday with the same issue, he couldnt log onto the https section of his router management page
[11:00] <imaginator> alemones: if you open a terminal and type ls ~ or something like that, you can see how it acts
[11:00] <imaginator> alemones: yes, I can see why it would scare some people away
[11:01] <imaginator> alemones: unix is simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity (I think that's a close approximation to a quote by one of the Unix creators)
[11:01] <nuke-serge> bazhang, hey cool ! its done ! but is there a way i can include in /etc or somewhere so that is set it for the entire system ???
[11:01] <Moniker42> tuntun, it's not really what you asked but i normally use "clean up by name" to keep things organised

[11:03] <nuke-serge> bazhang, :P even i googled in the beginning ! guess i made some mistake somewhere
[11:03] <alemones> imaginator: Thx! I honestly think I'm 8 out of 10 in computer literacy... but these things are really tough on the newbies !  OK, back to 'work': In that directory there is only libflashplayer.so
[11:03] <g0rb3h> dunno, I think he was called wintersomething
[11:04] <ScriptDevil> what is window snapping?
[11:04] <Flaky> yop les gens
[11:04] <bazhang> ntfs |DuReX|?
[11:04] <Moniker42> can anyone help here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4033678#post4033678
[11:04] <bazhang> ScriptDevil: some compiz eye candy
[11:04] <ScriptDevil> yeah. what does it do?
[11:04] <bazhang> nuke-serge: heh
[11:05] <imaginator> alemones: ok, then checkout /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[11:05] <bazhang> ScriptDevil: snaps the windows back in place--pretty cool but useless imo
[11:05] <ifireball> vinicius: check the forums
[11:05] <|DuReX|> bazhang: yes a ntfs filesystem
[11:06] <ScriptDevil> bazhang, what is "snapping"?
[11:06] <|DuReX|> gparted should support it, but it thinks the raid0 is 2 different disks
[11:06] <|DuReX|> and i loaded dmraid -ay in gparted livecd :s
[11:06] <|DuReX|> weird
[11:06] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=532609 |DuReX|
[11:07] <bazhang> ScriptDevil: like a rubber band :}
[11:07] <alemones> imaginator: done, there's a bunch of them mostly mplayer, but no Helix mentioned...
[11:07] <ScriptDevil> oh.. okie
[11:07] <tuntun> How can I get icon spacing on the desktop so they are all one size, like windows?
[11:07] <vsilves> Windows snapping means that when you are dragging windows around in your desktop, they will try go snap togethern, making it easier to organize many windows without leaving gaps in between
[11:07] <alemones> imaginator: there's one called narrowed.. never heard about it...
[11:07] <arm9_linux> why not try smplayer?
[11:08] <imaginator> alemones: what is the name of the helix plugin's library according to about:plugins?
[11:09] <arm9_linux> right clik,selet strech icon
[11:09] <alemones> imaginator: nphelix.so
[11:09] <arm9_linux> tuntun
[11:09] <tiredbones> can someone tell me why all the iso images I am downloading from the Ubuntu site are plain text document?
[11:10] <ScriptDevil> tiredbones, they are not
[11:10] <ScriptDevil> they are binary files
[11:10] <ScriptDevil> are you downloading in windows?
[11:11] <tuntun> arm9_linux: gnome makes icons all different sizes, can that be turned off?
[11:11] <vsilves> tiredbones: that is because they put txt stubs instead of the real iso files, they do not have the network capacity to serve iso images to all the world, so they direct you to use other mirrors of the iso files
[11:11] <arm9_linux> yes
[11:11] <|DuReX|> bazhang: seems like gparted /dev/mapper/nvidia_blabla worked :P
[11:11] <lukerill> Hallo, I bet this is a common problem but the internet doesn't seem to have answers that apply. I reboot from CD and go to install 7.10, it goes through the orange bar, then I see a light brown background for a second, then blank screen. Any help's appreciated. :D
[11:12] <bazhang> |DuReX|: excellent work!
[11:12] <tiredbones> ScriptDevil, I am on Debian, I am trying to a Ubuntu image.
[11:13] <alemones> imaginator: now I searched nphelix.so in the computer and is not found...
[11:13] <tiredbones> vsilves, I tried several different sites already.
[11:13] <bazhang> tiredbones: an iso image?
[11:13] <tiredbones> bazhang, yes
[11:14] <vinicius> ifireball, thanks! i posted there the english output
[11:14] <ifireball> tiredbones: are you d/ling with a browser or with some tool or another?
[11:14] <tiredbones> When I click on the current icon it show it as a plain text document.
[11:14] <imaginator> alemones: how did you search?
[11:14] <user3243> when attempting to install from source, i type in ,/configure, and receive "./configure no such file or directory"
[11:14] <imaginator> alemones: did you use locate or find?
[11:14] <user3243> ./configure
[11:15] <tiredbones> ifireball, what is d/ling?
[11:15] <arm9_linux> md5sum ,check it
[11:15] <alemones> from Place, Find, in Filesystem
[11:15] <ifireball> tiredbones: downloading
[11:15] <bazhang> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ tiredbones
[11:15] <lukerill> Anyone know what could be wrong with my problem?
[11:15] <imaginator> user3243: what are you configuring?
[11:15] <user3243> projectM
[11:15] <tiredbones> bazhang, I'll try that.
[11:16] <user3243> i already installed build-essential
[11:16] <Kufad> hey.. i have installed emerald themer. But it doesnt seem to turn on the theme, when i select one in Emerald. How do i make it doing that ?
[11:16] <SSSSSSS> Hello can someone please help me?
[11:16] <bazhang> user3243: are you in the same directory?
[11:16] <user3243> yes
[11:16] <j_medic78> well, i'm back again with my wireless issues. my ethernet connection is working now, but I still can't connect to wireless
[11:16] <Myrtti> !ask | SSSSSSS
[11:16] <ubotu> SSSSSSS: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:16] <Ome> Hello there :)
[11:16] <arm9_linux> ./configure  NOT ,/configure
[11:16] <SSSSSSS> OK...   I had a dual boot XP/Kubuntu on two different hardisks. I then used a partition manager to delete all the partitions on the Kubuntu Hardisk. I then made a new NTFS partition on that same disk. After rebooting, I got GRUB error 17. How will I delete GRUB and make it boot normally into XP?
[11:17] <user3243> yeah i changed that
[11:17] <lukerill> Hallo, I bet this is a common problem but the internet doesn't seem to have answers that apply. I reboot from CD and go to install 7.10, it goes through the orange bar, then I see a light brown background for a second, then blank screen. Any help's appreciated. =)
[11:17] <user3243> my mistake
[11:17] <arm9_linux> SSSSSS
[11:17] <user3243> the error is there, and i am using ./configure
[11:17] <tuntun> is there any way gnome can display all desktop icons at the same size?
[11:17] <alemones> imaginator: I searched from Place, Find, in Filesystem
[11:17] <arm9_linux> you can use XP disk boot you system
[11:17] <user3243> i am in the proper directory and have installed build-essential
[11:17] <sandr-> try booting from your windows cd into recovery console
[11:17] <arm9_linux> and rescue it
[11:17] <SSSSSSS> then when I am in the recovery console?
[11:18] <arm9_linux> try fixmbr command
[11:18] <SSSSSSS> How do I rescue it?
[11:18] <sandr-> then do the commands fixboot and fixmbr , that will set back the window bootloader
[11:18] <imaginator> does anyone know if "Find in filesystem" in Gnome uses the locate database or /usr/bin/find?
[11:18] <SSSSSSS> Ok thanks will try that
[11:18] <arm9_linux> fixmbr
[11:18] <j_medic78> what would normal dmesg out put for a system with intel prowireless 3495 be?
[11:18] <user3243> that creates a new bootloader, rather than setting it back, right?
[11:19] <B-rabbit> hi all
[11:19] <imaginator> alemones: if it uses find, then the file probably doesn't exist.  if it's using locate (which is based on database program that crawls the disk and updates periodically, it may be out of date)
[11:19] <user3243> requ13m, you lucky bastard, you got fios
[11:19] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: It depends what u have installed#
[11:19] <B-rabbit> imaginator, can u rephrase the question?
[11:19] <ifireball> vinicius: what happens after you get the messages you posted? it doesn't seem like its all of it, the last line says "Connecting to ..."
[11:19] <lukerill> I reboot from CD and go to install 7.10, it goes through the orange bar, then I see a light brown background for a second, then blank screen. What's wrong?
[11:19] <alemones> imaginator: I searched in usr/bin, not found either ....
[11:20] <arm9_linux> what's your vidio card
[11:20] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: paste your dmesg output into pastebin if u like
[11:20] <scguy318> lukerill: have you tried the safe graphics mode?
[11:20] <wilstar> i can't connected my SCSI Scanner with scsiadd. I have to reboot linux with scanner ON to use it. Why?
[11:20] <imaginator> B-rabbit: I'm trying to help alemones, and I'm not sure if the "Find in filesystem" tool that Ubuntu comes with, uses the locate database, or /usr/bin/find.
[11:20] <bazhang> lukerill: safe mode? or alternate cd might do it
[11:21] <lukerill> scguy318 and bazhang, yes I've tried safe mode, I have a 7500gt, and what's the alternate cd?
[11:21] <g0rb3h> wilstar Scsi ID's are generally set by the controller at boot up
[11:21] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: lol. how do i do that?(paste bin)
[11:21] <ifireball> vinicius: also, are you sure wget doesn't get you the file anyway?
[11:21] <user3243> sooo, nobody knows why when i try to install from source using ./configure it says no such file or directory?
[11:21] <bazhang> !alternate | lukerill
[11:21] <ubotu> lukerill: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[11:21] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: =) www.pastebin.com
[11:21] <arm9_linux> user3243
[11:22] <ifireball> user3243: you're probably not in the right directory
[11:22] <user3243> i am in the right directory, im absolutely sure of it
[11:22] <wilstar> g0rb3h: there is scsiadd to activate scsi devices, but it doesn't work
[11:22] <arm9_linux> maybe you are not in the sources dir
[11:22] <La`Patate> #ubuntu
[11:22] <user3243> cd foo/sourcedir
[11:22] <user3243> theres a bunch of .c files in here, i think i am
[11:22] <Ubuntu2> speaking of video card I dual boot ubuntu and suse ever since I have installed suse, ubuntu will refuse to boot saying that the rate is incorrect
[11:23] <lukerill> bazhang, thankyou, I'll try it out, is it anymore difficult to install?
[11:23] <user3243> c and header files, and other stuff
[11:23] <arm9_linux> is there a "confinure" file
[11:23] <arm9_linux> ?
[11:23] <user3243> i see ConfigFile
[11:23] <imaginator> alemones: basically this tool called updatedb is run periodically from a job scheduler called cron.  cron starts is once a day, if your computer is booted at a certain time.  locate uses the data from updatedb.  find on the other hand just searches the filesystem without a database, so it's slower.
[11:23] <ifireball> user3243: or maybe this source package works slightly differently, check if you got an INSTALL or README file with it
[11:23] <user3243> ok will do
[11:23] <imaginator> alemones: what can happen is that the database isn't in sync with the actual disk contents, due to package removal, etc.
[11:23] <bazhang> lukerill: well it is ncurses based, so not as shiny, but not really much harder; just need to tab and enter through the choices
[11:24] <lukerill> bazhang, thanks, I'll try that now
[11:25] <bazhang> no worries lukerill
[11:25] <imaginator> alemones: anyway the command you could use in a terminal is:  find / -name "nphelix.so"  or even find /usr -name "nphelix.so"   There's probably also some other standard location mentioned in that FAQ for the Mozilla plugins.
[11:25] <user3243> ok you were right the readme says to do otherwise, thanks
[11:25] <vinicius> ifireball, yes I am... :p
[11:25] <arm9_linux> haha
[11:25] <arm9_linux> next time
[11:25] <user3243> rtfm got it
[11:25] <redrebel> yo!
[11:25] <vinicius> ifireball, it keeps trying to connect forever
[11:26] <vinicius> ifireball, until the connection timeout
[11:26] <arm9_linux> remember see the INSTALL or README file
[11:26] <alemones> imaginator: ok, I will try all these and get back if necessary (which I suppose will be!) thanks a lot, I appreciate it
[11:26] <zhanx> ok is there a how-to out there to resize and add a windows partition? need to have windows in order to run my langauge software wine doesnt run it
[11:27] <erUSUL> !virtualizers | zhanx
[11:27] <ifireball> vinicius: so it seems your problem is connecting to "releases.mozilla.org|32.1.4.248|:80" (that is what times out probably)
[11:27] <ubotu> zhanx: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[11:27] <zhanx> erUSUL, old laptop vmware runs slow as heck
[11:28] <ifireball> vinicius: what is the IP you see when you look at "ifconfig" ?
[11:28] <arm9_linux> you can try virtual box
[11:28] <arm9_linux> it's light and free
[11:28] <zhanx> !VirtualBox
[11:28] <ubotu> VirtualBox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://www.virtualbox.org/ for !Feisty, !Edgy and !Dapper - Setup details at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[11:28] <vinicius> ifireball, just a moment
[11:28] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: well, i put the bottom part of my dmesg output that mentions the networking stuff in pastebin
[11:29] <vinicius>           inet end.: 10.1.1.5  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Masc:255.0.0.0
[11:29] <vinicius> ifireball,
[11:29] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: cool link it in the channel :)
[11:29] <erUSUL> zhanx: then dual booting may be the right solution... resize the partitions from a liveCD with gparted and install windows. The you will have to recover grub
[11:29] <erUSUL> !grub | zhanx
[11:29] <ubotu> zhanx: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[11:36] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: it looks like the interface has come up fine, (although theres probable some more info above that section in dmesg) what happens when u run iwlist eth1 scan?
[11:36] <_mug> could someone give me a hint which programming language/framework to use to write small simple apps with gui (should run in gnome and kde and - if possible - on wndows without to big changes)
[11:36] <arm9_linux> x_zeuss?deb file or source file?
[11:36] <tiredbones> bazhang, that image you pointed me to is 4.2G.
[11:36] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: anything wrong with it?
[11:36] <x_zeuss> arm9_linux: source
[11:36] <scguy318> !brokenflash | x_zeuss
[11:36] <ubotu> x_zeuss: 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.
[11:36] <tuntun> youbucky: so you could do a lot cheaper than an 8800gt :P
[11:36] <_mug> i did c, java, php, perl, but not too deep
[11:36] <vinicius> ifireball, but why just with me? there's a windows computer that I connect in the same network as me, and i can successful download the same files I can't in ubuntu
[11:36] <user3243> oh damnit i cant install this
[11:37] <x_zeuss> scguy318: but can't i install it from source?

[11:39] <YouBucky> tuntun: Sorry I was ebaying :)
[11:39] <bef> hi does anyone know a good program where i can select pictures to make a slideshow like you can in Doze explorer?

[11:39] <YouBucky> tuntun: I also may want to run Vista again at some point so I'll go with directx 10 support
[11:39] <_mug> ifireball: hm but the programs arent in binary or anre they? just some kind of scripts?
[11:40] <tuntun> youbucky: so you could do a lot cheaper than an 8800gt.
[11:40] <YouBucky> tuntun: 8800gt doesnt look low profile??
[11:40] <tiredbones> bazhang, that is the one I've been get the text documents when I downloaded what thought was an iso image.
[11:40] <B-rabbit> bef, do u mean, program like powerpoint?
[11:40] <B-rabbit> in win
[11:40] <ifireball> _mug: there are python compilers if you can't get the "program bust be a binary blob" concept out of your head
[11:40] <arm9_linux> maybe he want preview
[11:40] <tuntun> youbucky: well these days low-profile is single slot, what is your definition?
[11:40] <bef> B-rabbit, no, just to view pictures in a folder
[11:41] <YouBucky> tuntun: I want something that will work with minmum fuss across Windows/Linux. I have way more fun things to do than mess with drivers

[11:41] <aspide> [ Hola ]

[11:41] <tiredbones> bazhang,   http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

[11:44] <bazhang> tiredbones: there are a number of options for that--midwest, south, etc.; could you tell me the region? I will give you a direct link then

[11:45] <bef> tho1: thanks again
[11:45] <bef> B-rabbit: thanks
[11:45] <B-rabbit> :)
[11:45] <|DuReX|> tuntun: windows 2003 still boots, but it gives blue screen on boot: with 'unable to mount root' or something
[11:45] <YouBucky> tuntun: I refere to it was height??
[11:45] <tuntun> |DuReX|: oh, dear, I hope you have backups. do you?
[11:46] <bazhang> http://mirrors.rit.edu/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso tiredbones right click save as
[11:46] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: could just be a problem with WPA and your driver, im not sure how support for it is these days but u used to have to used ndiswrapper for that on most chips
[11:46] <x_zeuss> what other chat client are there for ubuntu except pidgin?
[11:46] <bazhang> x-chat
[11:46] <tho1> x_zeuss Xchat
[11:46] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: if you want a quickfix change the security on your router to wep
[11:46] <tiredbones> bazhang,  I hope this works, I've been up all night trying to get an image. thanks
[11:46] <|DuReX|> tuntun: no :P but nothing really needed was on it
[11:46] <|DuReX|> only the installation :(
[11:47] <YouBucky> bazhang: how's the 7300 GS?? Seems cheap??
[11:47] <imaginator> x_zeuss: kopete, konversation, skype
[11:47] <Tomatko> Hi there.. could someone help me with wireless USB dongle ?
[11:47] <x_zeuss> tho1: can i use xchat for yahoo too?
[11:47] <YouBucky> bazhang: not as in quality but comparably cheap?
[11:47] <x_zeuss> i need one that can connect to yahoo too
[11:47] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: it's not my router, so I can't mess with it! :-)
[11:47] <vinicius> ifireball, I checked whatsmyip.org, it seems to be everything alright there
[11:47] <Jackie_> Hello everybody （大家好）
[11:47] <tuntun> youbucky: lol, you want a card that has a small footprint, not full-lenght.
[11:47] <B-rabbit> x_zeuss, no
[11:47] <tho1> x_zeuss not for IM...xchat is a chat client
[11:47] <x_zeuss> i want something for yahoo
[11:47] <imaginator> x_zeuss: kopete is a little better than pidgin at some things
[11:48] <imaginator> kopete has webcam support
[11:48] <tuntun> |DuReX|: let that be a lesson to you XD
[11:48] <bazhang> YouBucky: not sure, it came with my computer :}
[11:48] <B-rabbit> x_zeuss, i use gaim
[11:48] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: right now i'm using the restricted driver that feisty installed by default. you think I should go the ndiswrapper route instead?
[11:48] <imaginator> B-rabbit: gaim is the old version of what became pidgin
[11:48] <x_zeuss> imaginator: but kopete is for kde, won't it crash under gnome? like amarok usually does for me
[11:48] <imaginator> x_zeuss: it should work fine in gnome
[11:48] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: lets try some more iwconfig things first :)
[11:48] <cYbercOsmOnauT> I seeked no problems in using amarok on gnome till now
[11:49] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: sounds good. i hear ndiswrapper can be a pain
[11:49] <imaginator> x_zeuss: kde apps can vary in quality
[11:49] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: doing some googleing atm about your chip and wpa support on your driver
[11:49] <B-rabbit> imaginator, yer i know...i have been using gaim for quit a wile now...so i prefer to use it
[11:49] <B-rabbit> :)
[11:49] <|DuReX|> tuntun: is the NTFS support good in Ubuntu ?
[11:49] <tuntun> youbucky: if all you want is to run compiz then just get the cheapest nvidia card you can find, the have the much better driver support
[11:49] <|DuReX|> read/write ?
[11:49] <cYbercOsmOnauT> You can read and write
[11:49] <cYbercOsmOnauT> What else do you want to do? :D
[11:49] <imaginator> B-rabbit: nod.  I understand.  I think there have been some security fixes so you may want to watch those :)
[11:49] <ifireball> vinicius: ping the mozilla sites from both computes (the linux and windows) see if they go to the same IP
[11:49] <arm9_linux> yes ubuntu 7.10 support it well
[11:50] <|DuReX|> but it won't corrupt ntfs fs ?
[11:50] <x_zeuss> imaginator: ok, ill try kopete, hope it doesn't crash
[11:50] <B-rabbit> imaginator, thnkx for the tip :)
[11:50] <sirAndrew> hello, can someone help me with a problem? i can`t install automatix and i don`t know why
[11:50] <imaginator> :)
[11:50] <vinicius> ifireball, good idea... but I can't do that now (the windows laptop is not here) what if they go to the same or different IP?
[11:50] <elkbuntu> sirAndrew, that's probably a good thing. what do you need it for anyway?
[11:50] <tuntun> |DuReX|: actually it works fine but you'll need to read a few how-tos first.
[11:51] <bazhang> sirAndrew: step away from the keyboard :} seriously do not install automatix--it is not needed nor supported here
[11:51] <YouBucky> tuntun: Thanks, I also dual boot Vista which I may want to use one day so a cheap cheap card wont be my best option
[11:51] <arm9_linux> don't use automatix,there seem some problems,but i can not remember
[11:51] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: iwconfig in pastebin plz
[11:51] <tuntun> youbucky: well good hunting!
[11:51] <imaginator> x_zeuss: another tool I found that kde had that was pretty good when I used it was kmess, for the unfortunate times when you must talk with people using MSN.  I found it worked better than aMSN, though YMMV.  :)
[11:51] <sirAndrew> actually i can`t install anything, i get an error everytime saying the packages either don`t exist or their dependencies are not installable
[11:51] <ifireball> vinicius: that depends on the answer
[11:52] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok
[11:52] <cYbercOsmOnauT> I have a problem with my DELL Inspiron and the Hibernate/Suspend modes. I cannot restart the normal mode after my Laptop changed to hibernate or suspend.
[11:52] <vinicius> cYbercOsmOnauT, it seems to be a problem with the dell driver, Ubuntu does not support it yet
[11:52] <ib81> hihi all, got a strange problem, I'm getting a DHCP lease, but the DNS servers I put in /etc/resolv.conf don't seem to be picked up by any program...'nslookup google.com 208.67.222.222' works, but 'nslookup google.com' gives me 'connection timed out, no servers could be reached'
[11:52] <elkbuntu> sirAndrew, had you used any other 3rd party stuff already?
[11:52] <ifireball> vinicius: if they are different we look for a DNS problem on the Linux, if they are the same we look for something else
[11:53] <sirAndrew> nope
[11:53] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: http://pastebin.com/m582b4e34
[11:53] <cYbercOsmOnauT> So I stay at "Blank Screen" ;)
[11:53] <vinicius> cYbercOsmOnauT, i don't remember where i read this
[11:53] <vinicius> ifireball, ok, great
[11:53] <vinicius> ifireball, I'll do this and I'll post in the forum
[11:53] <vinicius> ifireball, can you please watch the thread?
[11:53] <cYbercOsmOnauT> I just dislike to let the machine run when I go to eat with my family.
[11:53] <ifireball> vinicius: ok
[11:54] <elkbuntu> sirAndrew, what other things have you tried installing that it's telling you that for?
[11:54] <sirAndrew> elkbuntu: nope, nothing works, i can`t install anything, just the things that came with the ubuntu 7.10 i386 imafg image i got from ubuntu.com
[11:54] <vinicius> ifireball, thanks for the help :)
[11:54] <olskolirc> hello.  I just upgraded to Gutsy.  Now I can't get my internet to turn on during bootup or my external hd to mount.  Where do I put the commands: sudo ifup eth0 && mount /dev/sdsa1 /media/MYDISK?  Would that be in .bashrc?
[11:55] <bazhang> sirAndrew: sounds like you need to add some repositories other than the cd then
[11:55] <vinicius> olskolirc, not in bashrc
[11:55] <imaginator> olskolirc: probably not.  try /etc/rc.local might be more appropriate
[11:55] <olskolirc> ok thanks
[11:55] <olskolirc> imaginator, :-)
[11:57] <linduxed> ive got a laptop, and have used my touchpad al the time without problems, however recently i used a usb mouse more and one bootup the touchpad stopped working, so now i can only use external mice
[11:57] <sirAndrew> how about if i try ubuntu ultimate 1.4? will that come with more programs? it`s my first ubuntu install...i don`t know many things...
[11:57] <imaginator> olskolirc: btw you won't need sudo in that file.  it runs with suitable privileges
[11:57] <elkbuntu> sirAndrew, please paste your sources.list at paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:57] <j_medic78> woops. got disconnected
[11:57] <bazhang> sirAndrew: have you enabled more repos?
[11:58] <sirAndrew> i spent all night reading faqs and documents, and tutorials and now i know less then i knew when i started reading....
[11:58] <sirAndrew> bazhang, i don`t know how to enable more repos
[11:58] <sirAndrew> another question how do i update?
[11:58] <linduxed> i also think ive got the same problem in windows xp (dualboot) but im not 100%, however if thats the case than i understand its broken....
[11:58] <Borbus> Hi, I'm trying to boot from ubuntu 7.10 amd64 live cd, after it loads the kernel my display just goes off.
[11:59] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: did you get a look at the iwconfig? i got booted offline for a second, so i might have missed a post! :-)
[11:59] <bazhang> sirAndrew: go to synaptic and open repositories, put a check next to the first four, reload, then search for packages, hit apply changes and your done
[11:59] <olskolirc> imaginator, do I put my code before or after exit 0?
[11:59] <sirAndrew> ok hang on a sec
[11:59] <imaginator> olskolirc: before
[11:59] <olskolirc> thanks precious :-)
[12:00] <Tomatko> Hi There.. have a problem.. need a wireless network under Ubuntu 7.10 with USB donggllee. but UBUNTU can't see that dongle and can't find a driver.. have only drivers for Windows XP

[12:02] <pengo__> whats a good video media player for nix
[12:02] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: have u tried playing with wpa_supplicant?
[12:02] <pengo__> mplayer doesn't seem to play back some formats smoothly for me
[12:02] <bazhang> vlc pengo__
[12:02] <pengo__> other than vlc? that doesn't always work too good
[12:02] <bazhang> no idea then
[12:03] <rsk> paradon: mplayer
[12:03] <tho1> pengo__ mplayer is probably a close second
[12:03] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: nopoe. honestly, i'm still pretty much a noob, so i don't even know what the supplicant is
[12:03] <ifireball> pengo__: there are like gazillion command-line switches to mplayer, maybe you can play with then to improve performance
[12:03] <Koser> trying to connect my digital camera (Sony Cybercam), but it gets stuck in "USB Mode Connecting" mode - never gets mounted.
[12:04] <pengo__> i think its mainly the gnome-mplayer frontend, the progress bar seems to have problems with the video overlay so its constantly popping in/out of the video window
[12:04] <ifireball> tho1: vlc crashes an awful lot on Linux in my experience... I think the devs focus more on windows now days
[12:04] <g0rb3h> kk, nps :) run man wap_supplicant to familiarise yourself, ive got what i need to write a quick config for u though
[12:05] <Tilllinux> heya, I'm looking for an application that converts (on the screen) written text to text... like ocr but "realtime"... like a 'handwriting' application ;)
[12:05] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: gimme a mo though, need a new coffee ^^
[12:05] <ifireball> pengo__: yeah, I've yet to have seen a good mplayer front-end, mplayer isn't front-end friendly, user the command-line version
[12:05] <imaginator> ifireball: I haven't found that.  have you sent them any useful backtraces?
[12:05] <Jan`> Bwaaaaa, ha ha: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug-chat/2001/October/msg00317.html
[12:06] <tho1> ifireball yeah, and my audio got screwed in vlc after I installed gstreamer (actually YAST installed gstreamer as a dependency and I didn't catch it in time to abort the install)
[12:06] <sirAndrew> bazhang, ok i did that and now the application appear in the list...can i paste into a pastebin the error it gives me?
[12:06] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: believe me, I feel for ya as far as coffee goes!
[12:06] <pengo__> when i install mplayer it auto play a file if i double click on it?
[12:06] <ifireball> imaginator: either you miss-tabbed, of my memory is bad, what are we talking about?
[12:07] <imaginator> vlc
[12:07] <pengo__> replaying the same file doesn't have the problem odd
[12:08] <ifireball> tho1: that might be fixable with tweaking the audio backend, it may be that vlc is playing to alsa while gstreamer to oss or something like that
[12:08] <sirAndrew> lol now it`s downloading and installing 149 updates :-|
[12:09] <Ubuntu2> Anybody know how to make java work  in Opera web browser>?
[12:09] <ifireball> imaginator: well, its just the feeling seeing how it functions on windows as opposed to linux, where problems are addressed faster, etc. I do admit the last time I had VLC installed was quite a while ago
[12:10] <Jan`> imaginator: for some reason, I can't talk to you in private message.
[12:10] <Jan`> imaginator: Still can't. Nick not registered.
[12:10] <tho1> ifireball yeah, well...I swtiched to suse on my main laptop to avoid the audio issues of ubuntu, and here they are again! Guess I can't win. I can get audio in the avi's just fine using mplayer, but in vlc now the audio is barely detectable.
[12:11] <ifireball> imaginator: for example, vlc used to have quite good gtk and qt front ends, but they were both dropped in favor of a wxwindows one
[12:11] <imaginator> Jan`: I guess you need to register your nick then to talk with anyone now
[12:11] <Jan`> Yes.
[12:11] <imaginator> ifireball: I wasn't aware of that.  I've been using the gtk+ frontend.
[12:12] <Jan`> Not to worry.
[12:12] <Optyk> Hello there.
[12:12] <Jan`> But on the topic at hand: yes it's funny, although I think the main problem with linux is not encouraging women, it's encouraging anyone who actually wants to do work on computers rather than treat them as a hobby.
[12:12] <ifireball> tho1: its because there are about 4 common ways to use audio and many more less-common, and the default configs not always agree, but unless its the god-for-nothing closed-source flash plugin, it can usually be fixed easily
[12:12] <Optyk> Could have I help with chroot jail?
[12:13] <Optyk> I unable to change password on chrooted account.
[12:14] <ifireball> imaginator: well, if it doesn't crash all the time I guess they might have picked it up; like I said, havn't looked at VLC in a while, mplayer works fine for me...
[12:14] <tho1> ifireball welll.the problem just showed up a few days ago. I have tinkered with the config for vlc but haven't yet succeeded in fixing the issue. It was just too easy to start using mplayer instead
[12:14] <Optyk> passwd: pam_start() failed, error 26
[12:14] <compengi> how to send a directory through ftp in command line
[12:14] <linduxed> one bootup the touchpad stopped working, so now i can only use external mice, what do i do?
[12:14] <ifireball> tho1: indeed ;)
[12:14] <imaginator> ifireball: I did a checkout of the vlc trunk.  I'll see what they are using.
[12:16] <tho1> ifireball I find as I get old(er) I just want something that works. didn't take long to rule out vista, linux is getting closer...but the temptation to try a mac is becoming overwhelming <smile>
[12:16] <Nicolaidis> hello, help to install cairo dock...
[12:17] <ifireball> imaginator: ok, then you know it better then me, but I can probably find issues with it still, how is the Gnome integration for instance? can it do session management? does it obey the desktop preferences?
[12:17] <olskolirc> same here tho1
[12:17] <olskolirc> I'd love to get my hands on a Macintrash
[12:17] <Jan`> "Worst LUG meeting possible: 10pm Monday night, downtown warehouse in deserted alley, meat, double meat or spicy meat pizza and cheap beer."
[12:17]  * Jan` snickers extensively
[12:17] <imaginator> ifireball: I don't know about the gnome integration.  I don't use Gnome, but I do use Ubuntu :)
[12:18] <Jan`> Yup. That's it alright.
[12:18] <ifireball> tho1: well, I have some ethical principles to keep me on linux, other then that I hear ya
[12:18] <j_medic78> all the lines exactly as written? including the final bracket being spaced out a bit?
[12:18] <jriffle> anyone know how to get linux on an ipaq r3115 ?
[12:18] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: all the lines exactly as written? including the final bracket being spaced out a bit?
[12:18] <tho1> ifireball I'll  probably always have a linux partition...linux allows me to rediscover the pleasure of getting the printer to print 'hello'
[12:19] <ifireball> imaginator: kde? those questions can be asked WRT kde as well
[12:19] <rojanu> is it possible to change amd64 to x86 only via ssh?
[12:19] <imaginator> ifireball: I'm using Ubuntu with a WM I wrote, and the toolkit I mostly use is Tcl/Tk
[12:19] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: i can't save it for some weird reason
[12:20] <olskolirc> how can I get my berly to work without turning my menus black?  and I don't know how to zoom or rotate the cube
[12:20] <lonejack> hi, does somebody know how can be started software in reduced to icons at startup
[12:20]  * Jan` continues going through "how to attract women to Linux", snickering occasionally and nodding a lot
[12:20] <ifireball> imaginator: oh, so you're pretty much integration-agnostic ;)
[12:20] <imaginator> ifireball: to some extent.
[12:20] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: probably trying to save as a user, open your editor as root
[12:21] <g0rb3h> when u have the file there run this command
[12:21] <Tilllinux> "This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 3 seconds." ... isn't this somehow...weird and contradictory?
[12:21] <g0rb3h> wpa_supplicant  -Dipw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
[12:21] <ifireball> imaginator: but isn't tcl/tk ugly as hell? the less time I looked it was still using motif as a backend...
[12:21] <imaginator> ifireball: I'm a Tcl and Tk core developer, and I'm hoping that the 8.5.x releases will change the ideas about "ugly as hell" once Ubuntu starts using them of course
[12:22] <grout> Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[12:22] <imaginator> ifireball: and Tk has never used Motif, it just looked like it.
[12:22] <ifireball> imaginator: I don't know... this is a python/ruby world, I liked TCL... but it kinda seems.. old fashioned...
[12:23] <Cnerd> hi
[12:23] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: it keeps giving me an "Unexpected error: File not found"
[12:23] <Cnerd> ive a question
[12:23] <imaginator> ifireball: that's a view that many people regretabbly share.
[12:23] <Cnerd> im isntalling ubuntu now
[12:23] <imaginator> ifireball: I wouldn't say there's a lot of truth to it though.
[12:23] <Cnerd> i can compile with ubuntu?
[12:24] <Cnerd> ?
[12:24] <Cnerd> gcc
[12:24] <Cnerd> is in it
[12:24] <imaginator> Cnerd: yes
[12:24] <ifireball> imaginator: also, it won't be truly integrated until you can somehow run the GTK theme engine above it
[12:24] <imaginator> 2 versions at least
[12:24] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: ok, save the config file i posted you to here instead /home/(your username)/wpa_supplicant.conf
[12:24] <Ubuntu2> Congratulations!
[12:24] <Ubuntu2>  
[12:24] <Ubuntu2> You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 3).
[12:24] <ifireball> imaginator: given that to date I did more coding in TCL then in Python, I can see your side of this
[12:24] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok, 1 sec
[12:24] <Ubuntu2> but it still does not work
[12:25] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok, that saved
[12:26] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: so now do sudo wpa_supplicant  -Dipw -ieth1 -c/home/(your username)/wpa_supplicant.conf -w
[12:26] <imaginator> ifireball: the gtk+ look and theme support is a problem.  It seems that Gtk+ and Qt themes are very important these days.  Qt has been solved by a project called tile-qt, but Gtk+ is a bit more involved.
[12:27] <ifireball> imaginator: I know TCL is capable of any programming paradigm imagined, and its compactness is simply amazing, but somehow python seems "cleaner" to me; and there is the issue of the size of the user-base
[12:27] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: you should get some stuff comming to the tty as we left the "B" out, you can whack the output in pastebin
[12:27] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: i got a bunch of "Operation not supported" and "Failed to set encryption" messages
[12:27] <georg1> hi, any good crm system that I can use?
[12:28] <ifireball> imaginator: well, imo, if its a different toolkit you'll always have issues with small tidbits like how focus works, or hotkeys or integration with stuff like compiz
[12:28] <georg1> how can I configure the mouse pointer to be smaller?
[12:28] <imaginator> ifireball: btw: http://wiki.tcl.tk/NexTk  that's my project (alpha transparency and window rotation support for a next generation Tk, with widgets written in Tcl).
[12:29] <ifireball> imaginator: this is way I try to keep my desktop purely gtk2.x and even gnome if possible
[12:29] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: pastebin the whole lot for me, start from where u issue the command

[12:31] <ifireball> imaginator: well, I'm kinda surprised to hear that TK is its own toolkit I always thought it was a layer above something else, does it has something like glade?
[12:31] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: http://pastebin.com/m5b99e452
[12:31] <Cnerd> Errno 5 Input/output error: '/rofs/usr/share/aspell/en_CAw_accents-only.cwl.gz'
[12:32] <ifireball> imaginator: alos I suppose one way to solve gtk integration problems is to write a gtk them engine in tk... ;)
[12:32] <imaginator> that would be a lot of work, and maintainance
[12:33] <Cnerd> this particual error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive
[12:33]  * Jan` gingerly places liveCD in CD-ROM drive, and, in like manner to a bomb disposal expert cutting the green wire, presses the ON button
[12:33] <Cnerd> de disk is free request from ubuntu.com
[12:33] <imaginator> There are tools like Glade -- several in fact.  I find it easier to just make GUIs manually with code though.
[12:33] <georg1> how can I verify that the last drivers have been installed?
[12:33] <georg1> I  have nvidea
[12:34] <ifireball> imaginator: well, the qt guys did that, but I suppose its a question of resources
[12:34] <lonejack> is it possible to launch tomboy (or other applications) directly iconized?
[12:34] <iCEifer> can anyone suggest a good gnome MP3/CD player?
[12:34] <Cnerd> imaginator
[12:34] <tho1> iCEifer xmms
[12:34] <cYbercOsmOnauT> I like Amarok.. even if it's a KDE player.. ;)
[12:34] <ifireball> imaginator: coded GUIs have maintainability problems and they tend not to be easily I18N-able
[12:35] <predaeus> iCEifer, audacious
[12:35] <iCEifer> cYbercOsmOnauT, I was looking for something similar to that for gnome :)
[12:35] <imaginator> ifireball: there are message catalog tools that make the i18n problem easier to solve
[12:35] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: so my driver doesn't support WPA huh?
[12:35] <imaginator> Cnerd: did you run a checksum on the disk image before making your Ubuntu CD?
[12:36] <Cnerd> checkksum, making?
[12:36] <ifireball> imaginator: no, you don't really understand i18n until you try to support RTL of CTL languages...
[12:36] <Cnerd> ive did request free cd
[12:36] <imaginator> oh
[12:36] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: correct
[12:36] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: lol, hell will freeze over before I get the owner of the router to change the encryption!
[12:36] <imaginator> Cnerd: well, do you have access to another CD-ROM drive?
[12:36] <ifireball> imaginator: problem is most programmers think text always goes left-to-right...
[12:36] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: give ndiswrapper a try, its not such a headache anymore and there are lots of good guides
[12:37] <imaginator> ifireball: that's something to solve in the future.  languages like Hebrew with RTL and the few others make life much more uhm interesting :)
[12:37] <Cnerd> imaginator: no, i shutdown my pc
[12:37] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok, I'll see what I can do with ndiswrapper
[12:37] <Cnerd> i make it open, en unconnect the cdrom dire
[12:37] <Cnerd> i cionnect another drive
[12:37] <Cnerd> that can
[12:37] <Cnerd> i think

[12:37] <graabein> how come i get two icons for ipod when i mount it on usb? i'm on xfce
[12:38] <holycow> same partition or two?
[12:38] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: i'll check that link out
[12:39] <ifireball> imaginator: well, tell me when that future comes, until then your toolkit doesn't cut it, simple as that. I'm sorry.
[12:39] <Nicolaidis> how can i download plugins for compiz fusion?
[12:40] <ifireball> imaginator: (slightly  bitter about those issues, I pretty much started and ended my coding career making RTL ports... motif is horrible...)
[12:40] <imaginator> ifireball: do you use RTL a lot?
[12:40] <imaginator> ifireball: yes, I agree Motif is horrible.  I've done some coding with it.
[12:41] <ifireball> imaginator: personally no, but my "clients" do.
[12:41] <|DuReX|> pffyt
[12:41] <|DuReX|> installing on a dmraid is real problem :(
[12:42] <Jan`> Anyone who was here last night might have heard me gripe about Linux not working very well.
[12:42] <Jan`> I just thought I'd mention the fact that we can add the Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD to the List Of Things That Don't Work.
[12:42] <imaginator> Jan`: what hardware?
[12:42] <Jan`> God, it'd be nice to be wrong sometimes.
[12:42] <olskolirc> lol right Jan
[12:42] <Jan`> Um. A PC.
[12:43] <olskolirc> I finally got mine to where it needs to be with a lot of tweaking
[12:43] <rsk> Jan`: the detection of monitor resolutions is horrific. other than that.. it works fine
[12:43] <Jan`> It has an Asus A7N8X motherboard and an Athlon XP 2600+ processor.
[12:43] <scguy318> Jan`: of what specification is what imaginator is interested in
[12:43] <imaginator> Jan`: which flavor of the million permutations of a PC do you have?
[12:43] <tho1> Jan` Just curious...have you tried Ubuntu 6.06?
[12:43] <Jan`> tho1: No.
[12:43] <Jan`> Anyhoo, it has a Windows 2000 install on its hard disk.
[12:43] <imaginator> Jan`: what's the problem with the Live CD?
[12:44] <Jan`> So we burned ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso to a CD and put it in the drive, and the PC booted into Windows.
[12:44] <|DuReX|> It fails to format the ext3 :(
[12:44] <Jan`> So we then went into the BIOS and set all the boot devices to CD-ROM.
[12:44] <nuGzthk> i have wine but still cant install the msi steaminstaller file
[12:44] <Jan`> Then we rebooted and it booted into Windows.
[12:44] <scguy318> Jan`: you did...burn as ISO?
[12:44] <nuGzthk> please help
[12:44] <rsk> Jan`: ok so, did you burn it as a bootable disk?
[12:44] <scguy318> Jan`: and not as a data file in a new data session?
[12:44] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: so i just need to install the ndiswrapper toolkit, then get the windows driver, have it configure the driver, then run that command again?
[12:44] <Jan`> Yes, I burned it as an image.
[12:44]  * Jan` isn't quite THAT stupid
[12:45] <imaginator> Jan`: how did the boot loader behave?
[12:45] <MrGreencastle> I somehow removed the login window config tool, whats the name of the package so I can get it back?
[12:45] <rsk> Jan`: and have you verified the media?
[12:45] <Toma-> What type of bitmap files are compatible with X? eg. xsetroot/xdm ?
[12:45] <rsk> Jan`: as in md5cheking et
[12:45] <Jan`> imaginator: what's a boot loader?
[12:45] <olskolirc> I didn't do a cd install.  I just upgraded from my last ubuntu
[12:45] <wols_> Jan`: if it boots still windows it's not Ubuntu's fault. it's either your fault for not being able to operate a cd burner or your hardware not following your commands
[12:45] <olskolirc> 7.06 or something like that
[12:45] <scguy318> Jan`: a boot loader is the code that performs bootstrapping for an OS
[12:45] <nuGzthk> how do i install the msi file?
[12:45] <Jan`> scguy318: *blink*
[12:46] <scguy318> nuGzthk: in Wine? wine start msifile.msi
[12:46] <imaginator> Jan`: the BIOS should attempt to load the image on the Live CD
[12:46] <chazco> How do I remove duplicated Ubuntu entries from my grub menu?
[12:46] <Jan`> The CD appears to be entirely blank.
[12:46] <imaginator> and then the Live CD should load it's own boot loader to load a kernel
[12:46] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: yup =)
[12:46] <wols_> chazco: duplicated how?
[12:46] <scguy318> Jan`: that shouldn't be...
[12:46] <Jan`> No kidding.
[12:46] <tho1> chazco edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:46] <chazco> I have two of everything... why that is I dont know
[12:46] <wols_> Jan`: then you didn't burn a ubuntu CD. try again
[12:46] <imaginator> Jan`: what tool did you use to burn the ISO image?
[12:46] <scguy318> Jan`: how did you download the image?
[12:46] <Jan`> imaginator: InfraRecorder.
[12:47] <Jan`> scguy318: From a website. Using Firefox.
[12:47] <chazco> wols_ - I think when I installed Ubuntu it picked up remenants of another install on a second HDD
[12:47] <Jan`> It certainly spent quite a while making those "I'm writing a disc" whirring sounds.
[12:47] <MrGreencastle> For burning .iso in Windows, I would recommend ImgBurn
[12:47] <scguy318> CDBurnerXP :P
[12:47] <wols_> chazco: pastebin your menu.lst
[12:47] <Jan`> So I'd be quite surprised if it had done nothing.
[12:47] <imaginator> Jan`: can you view the CD in Windows from my computer?
[12:47] <Jan`> imaginator: s'what I'm doing. Seems empty.
[12:47] <imaginator> hmm, strange
[12:47] <wols_> Jan`: there is a "da as if but don't really do it" mode with every CD burner app I've ever seen
[12:48] <scguy318> Jan`: what if you mount the image using a loopback mount program?
[12:48] <Jan`> scguy318: A what?!
[12:48] <MrGreencastle> I somehow removed the login window config tool, whats the name of the package so I can get it back?
[12:48] <luckybamboo> hi ihave trouble updating my packages: Couldn't connect with 192.168.178.9:8080 (192.168.178.9). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[12:48] <luckybamboo> i have
[12:48] <scguy318> Jan`: image mount app
[12:48] <chazco> wols_ - There are several bits which say "# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
[12:48] <chazco> # linux installation on /dev/sdb1."
[12:48] <imaginator> Jan`: I think scguy318 is suggesting that you try to see what the image contains
[12:48] <Jan`> Oh.
[12:48] <imaginator> Jan`: does InfraRecord have that ability?
[12:48]  * Jan` reaches for Daemon Tools
[12:48] <omega512> hi i tried to compile this bridge utility http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/brctl-010226.c (br2684ctl) to configure my connection and i got this errors:  atm.h: No such file or directory and many other errors incomplete type ....etc how to compile this plz?
[12:48] <scguy318> luckybamboo: you have a proxy set?
[12:49]  * predaeus just discovered recently that Daemon Tools the free version contains spyware.
[12:49] <luckybamboo> scguy318, yes
[12:49] <scguy318> predaeus: old news but if you uncheck teh search bar...
[12:49] <scguy318> predaeus: the fact that it does have spyware is dead obvious, and they're nice enough to let you say no
[12:49] <wols_> omega512: you need to install the kernel headers for your kernel
[12:49] <predaeus> scguy318, really? I thought they changed that.
[12:49] <wols_> omega512: linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
[12:50] <predaeus> scguy318, well, let's forget about that then.
[12:50] <scguy318> predaeus: I can still uncheck install search bar when installing DAEMON Tools, if I'm not mistaken
[12:50] <Jan`> OK. If I mount the .iso using daemon tools, it has a bunch of folders and suchlike in it, named .disk, bin, casper, disctree, dists etc
[12:50] <MrGreencastle> Can someone please tell me the name of the login window config tool's package? I accidentally removed it somehow.
[12:50] <wols_> Jan`: so burn your disk again until your CD has those files
[12:50]  * Jan` suspects InfraRecorder is being Bad
[12:50] <wols_> MrGreencastle: gdm-config iirc
[12:50] <Mechdave> MrGreencastle, It is called gdm
[12:50]  * Jan` might have to pony up the cash for Nero
[12:51] <imaginator> Jan`: I think your suspicion is correct
[12:51] <MrGreencastle> For burning .iso in Windows, I would recommend ImgBurn
[12:51] <scguy318> Jan`: Nero? use CDBurnerXP :P
[12:51] <Jan`> Mutter. I should have Nero anyway.
[12:51] <omega512> wols_: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [12:51] <fahri_> try ImgBurn in wind*** to burn .iso!
[12:51] <Jan`> Although it comes with plus de la irritating hang-on programs.
[12:51] <wols_> Jan`: http://cdburnerxp.se/
[12:51] <luckybamboo> Jan`, or try brasero...
[12:51] <wols_> omega512: full output of your make run
[12:51]  * Jan` goes with wols_' suggestion
[12:52]  * Jan` looks for a burnable optical disc that isn't a DVD...
[12:52] <fahri_> just right click ur .iso, choose Burn!
[12:52] <wols_> Jan`: try your current "ubuntu" CD. seems it's empty anyways
[12:52] <scguy318> luckybamboo: but Jan` is in Windows so :P
[12:52] <luckybamboo> scguy318, ah...
[12:52] <rsk> Jan`: dvd's would work fine alos
[12:52] <luckybamboo> scguy318, can you please help me?
[12:52] <Jan`> wols_: It's not "unburned" empty. It's "got no files on" empty.
[12:52] <rsk> also
[12:52] <wols_> Jan`: wow that infrarecorder is reall poo
[12:53] <Jan`> I've had trouble with it in the past.
[12:53] <omega512> wols_: i'm compiling it with gcc -o br2684ctl br2684.c
[12:53] <scguy318> luckybamboo: what's up?
[12:53] <wols_> omega512: why?
[12:53] <luckybamboo> scguy318, i can't update my packages.
[12:53] <wols_> luckybamboo: start your proxy
[12:53] <BernardB> How can I mount a .dmg file in Ubuntu Gutsy?
[12:53] <lonejack> hi, is it possible to launch tomboy (or other applications) directly iconized?
[12:53] <scguy318> BernardB: I think fuseiso (in universe) can do it
[12:53] <luckybamboo> wols_, the proxy is running.
[12:54] <luckybamboo> wols_, there must be some wrong settings locally.
[12:54] <wols_> luckybamboo: but it's not accepting connections
[12:54] <luckybamboo> not my connection.
[12:54] <omega512> wols_:there isn't a makefile with it
[12:54] <wols_> luckybamboo: is it running on port 8080 on that remote machine?
[12:54] <wols_> omega512: I still want the full output
[12:55] <luckybamboo> wols_, how to check if the port is 8080 on the proxy?
[12:55] <wols_> luckybamboo: what OS is the proxy running?
[12:55] <luckybamboo> i think it's a debian too.
[12:55] <omega512> wols_: the full  output is big lol
[12:55] <chazco> Okay, fixed my grub menu :)
[12:55] <wols_> luckybamboo: think or know?
[12:55] <omega512> ~ 15 lines
[12:55] <chazco> Still got the USB keyboard issue to sort out
[12:55] <wols_> luckybamboo: and ubuntu is NOT debian
[12:55] <omega512> i paste it??
[12:55] <MrGreencastle> Thanks, I wonder how I removed it...
[12:55] <wols_> !paste | omega512

[12:55] <bionoid> Hi. I have problems booting livecd on my Toshiba Qosmio G40. Sometimes it freezes before reaching the desktop (but always at the graphical stage). Sometimes I get a nice 1920x1200 desktop and everything works. Until I start a program, then everything hangs. I tried the safe graphics mode, but it just keeps restarting X indefinetely. Any hints?
[12:55] <MrGreencastle> Must have not been paying attention
[12:55] <luckybamboo> wols_, true. i think it's a debian or an ubuntu
[12:55] <Elko> I installed build-essential and now get a zlib error, but can't find which packsge contains that library?
[12:56] <luckybamboo> wols_, i'm not the admin.
[12:56] <wols_> luckybamboo: sudo netstat -anp |grep 8080 on it
[12:56] <Elko> zlib1g is installed though
[12:56] <wols_> luckybamboo: can you telnet to it on port 8080?
[12:56] <imaginator> zlib1g?
[12:56] <luckybamboo> wols_, i can't get onto the proxy.
[12:56] <wols_> Elko: zlib1g-dev is what you need. headers
[12:56]  * Jan` burns
[12:57] <wols_> luckybamboo: then tell the proxy admin
[12:57] <nucco> hi, doesn anyone know where cups-pdf saves its output files? I'm printing from epiphany, but can't find the generated files
[12:57] <Elko> wols_: thank you
[12:57] <chazco> My USB keyboard wont work with Ubuntu when using the motherboards USB ports. It does work when using a PCI expansion cards ports. How can I fix this? (With it plugged into the expansion card the BIOS and grub are unable to use it)
[12:57] <chazco> It started in 7.10
[12:57] <luckybamboo> wols_, it's not a good time for calling the admin. he will be back on wednesday
[12:57] <wols_> chazco: does onboard usb work at all?
[12:57] <BernardB> scguy318, I've installed it via Synaptic. What command can I use/
[12:57] <BernardB> *?
[12:57] <chazco> wols_ - yep
[12:58] <omega512> wols_: i copied the output and pressed paste what i must do now?
[12:58] <luckybamboo> wols_, that's why i'm sitting here alone.
[12:58] <wols_> omega512: tell us the url
[12:58] <omega512> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49963/
[12:58] <wols_> luckybamboo: we cannot help you. the proxy is not working apparently and we certainly don't have admin rights
[12:58] <Optyk> .wc
[12:58] <fever> is there options for the diff command to display the words which are not the same ?
[12:59] <chazco> wols_ - I've tried changing BIOS options for USB keyboard support, doesnt help... I thought maybe dmesg would help, but I cant login to Ubuntu with it plugged into the problem socket :D
[12:59] <chazco> sockets even
[12:59] <omega512> wols_: it's ok?
[12:59] <luckybamboo> wols_, true. o.k. maybe you can help getting rid of the proxy? maybe i can go out without the proxy?
[12:59] <wols_> omega512: what is this atm library?
[12:59] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: now, with that command you gave me, I'm getting a "syntax error near unexpected token ` ( ' "
[13:00] <wols_> luckybamboo: sure. just don't use a proxy
[13:00] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: thats a start! =)
[13:00] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: lol. never mind, my bad!!
[13:00] <chazco> Also, when the keyboard is plugged into the motherboard ports it works fine in the BIOS and Grub, just Ubuntu having problems
[13:00] <Tobias92> Dear ubuntu people. I got a video, and of all my players, only "MPlayer" will display it correctly. However, MPlayer does not allow me to go fullscreen. How can I fix the other players (ie vlc or totem)
[13:00] <j_medic78> it helps to change "your user name" to what it really is! :-)
[13:00] <godlines> if your not using ssh public keys, is your password then sent in clear text?
[13:00] <nucco> hi, doesn anyone know where cups-pdf saves its output files? I'm printing from epiphany, but can't find the generated files please...
[13:00] <luckybamboo> wols_, the fritzbox has got the ip 192.168.178.1.... maybe i can just go through it?
[13:00] <wols_> chazco: plug in the usb keyboard to mianboard, then  dmesg | tail -20
[13:00] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: :P also dont copy the carriage return char into the .conf file
[13:00] <omega512> wols_: it's used to create a bridge (virtual network) to configure the PPPoE over ATM  connection
[13:01] <wols_> luckybamboo: you normally already do
[13:01] <luckybamboo> wols_, but i don't know which conf to edit.
[13:01] <chazco> wols_ - I cant excute the command after plugging it in - no keyboard...
[13:01] <chazco> I'll try a script with sleep in it
[13:01] <maek> nucco: find / -name filename.pdf ?
[13:01] <wols_> omega512: the atm doesn't do that. answer my question. and where is it from?
[13:02] <wols_> chazco: plug it in, remove it again and plug it to the pci card, then dmesg | tail -40
[13:02] <Vinconzo> hi
[13:02] <nuGzthk> can someone help me install the msi file?
[13:02] <chazco> wols_ - got it with a script... it seems to show up fine
[13:02] <wols_> luckybamboo: do "telnte google.com 80" what does it say?
[13:02] <nuGzthk> steam
[13:03] <wols_> nuGzthk: appdb.winehq.com or #wine
[13:03] <wols_> luckybamboo: *telnet

[13:05] <wols_> omega512: how should we know?
[13:05] <luckybamboo> wols_, yeah. the source.list
[13:05] <maek> omega512:  to find a certain file you can use apt-file, sudo apt-get install apt-file ; sudo apt-file update ; apt-file search atm.h - that will tell you which pkg the file is in
[13:05] <wols_> that's not it. should be a preferences file
[13:05] <wols_> is it a mandatory proxy?
[13:06] <luckybamboo> wols_, and 2 entries in apt.conf
[13:06] <wols_> luckybamboo: pastebin the 2 entries

[13:06] <wols_> maek: how will that help him?
[13:07] <wols_> omega512: again. where is this atm library from?
[13:07] <Vinconzo> anyone here with any usenet experience? (using Pan)
[13:07] <Vinconzo> i tried using microsofts server (just to try it) and now i cant ue my isp's server anymore
[13:07] <luckybamboo> wols_, all entries: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/25258/
[13:07] <maek> wols_: I might have misunderstood, I thought he was looking for where to get atm.h - sorry omega512
[13:08] <wols_> luckybamboo: something is very wrong since those proxies are supposed to use port 3128 but you spoke about port 8080
[13:08] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: what did you mean by "carriage return"? :-D
[13:08] <Tobias92> I want to play a video file and the screen goes all pink, is this because I am missing codecs?
[13:08] <imaginator> Vinconzo: perhaps the connection is persistent or you set NNTPSERVER in your env differently?
[13:08] <Jan`> Right well.
[13:08] <imaginator> Vinconzo: I don't use Pan.  I use slrn FWIW
[13:08] <luckybamboo> wols_, shall i change it to 3128?
[13:08] <maek> j_medic78: thats the enter key <cr>
[13:08] <Jan`> It just played this cool "tribal drums" style musical sting.
[13:08] <wols_> luckybamboo: it's already set to 31289
[13:09] <Vinconzo> ok
[13:09] <wols_> -9
[13:09] <Jan`> And now the TV it's plugged into says "PC-VGA: Out of range."
[13:09] <luckybamboo> wols_, true , you're right.
[13:09] <maek> j_medic78: or rather the special character that shows an enter
[13:09] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: when i posted you your wpa_supplicant.conf in ./msg it copied that character, you see it as a square
[13:09] <Jan`> This limits its usefulness.
[13:09] <wols_> luckybamboo: you can try and comment them out with a # in front of each
[13:09] <omega512> wols_: i readed this HowTo http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html to configure my ADSL USB modem
[13:10] <imaginator> Jan`: what are you planning to do?
[13:10] <scguy318> Jan`: oh, retarded X
[13:10] <wols_> omega512: have you made the atm library, yes or no?
[13:10] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: hmm.. i didn't see any square in it
[13:10] <luckybamboo> wols_, i commented both entries in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[13:10] <scguy318> Jan`: switch to tty1 via Ctrl-Alt-F1, login as ubuntu/ubuntu, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:10] <|DuReX|> whoooohooo :) ubuntu finally installing :D
[13:11] <scguy318> Jan`: then restart GDM by doing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[13:11] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: kk nps then =) did ndiswrapper load the module properly?
[13:11] <scguy318> Jan`: though I think you should already be logged in on tty1-6 actually
[13:11] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: it said it did
[13:11] <imaginator> Jan`: I have my Ubuntu setup with a TV-out and it works fine.  I use nvtv to enable it to work over an S-video adapter to a normal (non-HD) TV
[13:11] <Jan`> Hey, guys, does scguy318 speak English?
[13:11] <scguy318> Jan`: if you're not interested in actually using the LiveCD features of your CD, check out the wiki page linked to by ubotu's factoid at !install
[13:12] <imaginator> Jan`: yes, just a different dialect :)
[13:12] <Jan`> We'd try fiddling with the "VGA" options in the boot up thingy
[13:12] <brobostigon> i have got rid of all software i can, but need to freeup more space, where else can i delete files??
[13:12] <Jan`> but the boot up thingy doesn't seem to support USB keyboards (we have a wireless one)]
[13:12] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: so i gave the command that you gave me
[13:12] <luckybamboo> wols_,  synax-error /etc/apt/apt.conf:1: not suppoerted directive „Acquire::http::Proxy“
[13:12] <scguy318> luckybamboo: I think you have two typoed chars at the beginning of the line?
[13:13] <wols_> luckybamboo: make a copy of the file for backup and delete the two lines then
[13:13] <scguy318> !install | Jan`, if you haven't seen this
[13:13] <ubotu> Jan`, if you haven't seen this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[13:13] <omega512> wols_: the atm.h header is in /usr/src/linux
[13:13] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: sweet, and it took the driver files ok? does ndiswrapper -l show the driver u loaded?
[13:13] <Jan`> Um, er.
[13:13] <wols_> omega512: this isn't it
[13:14] <aoupi> hi, any forum mod here?
[13:14] <wols_> omega512: there is http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libdevel/libatm1-dev in ubuntu. you sure you couldn't use that atm library?
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> aoupi: IS there a problem?
[13:14] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: i don't have a WPA option when I try to connect to wireless though
[13:14] <scguy318> aoupi: pretend we all are, what's the question?
[13:14] <aoupi> well
[13:15] <Jan`> Humph. anyone want a Ubuntu live CD? I have one spare.
[13:15] <luckybamboo> wols_, scguy318  i got still connection refused.
[13:15] <aoupi> attachment in the forum, you have to be logged in to see them, Could you change that soo everyone can get the attachments
[13:15] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: 1 step at a time! :P
[13:15] <omega512> wols_: so which one?
[13:15] <wols_> luckybamboo: still port 8080?
[13:15] <wols_> omega512: which one what?
[13:15] <luckybamboo> wols_, yes
[13:15] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: now, I'm thinking that maybe I should have uninstalled the linux driver, or disable it in the restricted drivers manager?
[13:15] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok, i'll slow down
[13:16] <scguy318> Jan`: you can still utilize the files on the LiveCD for the other installation methods detailed by ubotu's install factoid
[13:16] <luckybamboo> wols_, i really don't know why there is port 8080? i mean where is it set?
[13:16] <g0rb3h> can do that in a bit, does ndiswrapper -l show the driver files u installed?
[13:16] <wols_> luckybamboo: grep -r 8080 /etc
[13:16] <Jack_Sparrow> aoupi: Not likely, but they have noted your request.
[13:16] <Jan`> scguy318: I don't want to install it.
[13:16] <scguy318> Jan`: alrighty then
[13:16] <aoupi> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks
[13:16] <Jan`> I just want to use it from the live CD to read a Mac formatted disc.
[13:16] <wols_> luckybamboo: I don't know. it'S the 64000$ question
[13:17] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: it says invalid driver
[13:17] <g0rb3h> =s
[13:17] <Disastro> does the update to gutsy work without any special tuning?
[13:17] <scguy318> Jan`: HFS+ or something? lemme see
[13:17] <Jan`> that's the one
[13:17] <Jan`> I was told Ubuntu supported it, so I'd be able to read the Mac formatted firewire disk I have here.
[13:17] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: this bit can be a bit of a mare since the right file u need are often bunddled up in an install shield file
[13:17] <Jan`> And then I could copy it to a Windows PC.
[13:17] <Jan`> Which is the entire point of this exercise.
[13:18] <Jowi> Jan`, you should probably mount it as type "hfsplus"
[13:18] <Jan`> Jowi: I'd love to.
[13:18] <Disastro> and can you update from gutsy cd from shipit?
[13:18] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: now, that's a vista driver, i wonder if an xp driver would be better
[13:18] <scguy318> Jan`: googling yields me HFSExplorer
[13:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Disastro: Should not be a problem.  However, if you used automatix or envy (both bad ideas) you could have real issues with it
[13:18] <Tobias92> How do I discover which codec is attributed to a .avi file in ubuntu?
[13:18] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: it would indeed!
[13:18] <Jan`> However right now I'm in Linux Is Being Rubbish zone, whereby it's using a screenmode the TV doesn't support, and it doesn't seem to detect our keyboard.
[13:18] <luckybamboo> wols_, all i now is: there is a proxy on ip 192.168.178.9 with maybe port 3128 who doesn't let me through. what can i configure?#
[13:18] <wols_> Jan`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/otherosfs/hfsplus
[13:18] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ok, back to the download center
[13:19] <scguy318> Jan`: there's a utility called HFSExplorer on Windows, dunno if that's what youw ant
[13:19] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: iirc there is some webpage that shows compatible drivers for ndiswrapper for each card / chip
[13:19] <wols_> luckybamboo: the question is why is your apt insisiting on port 8080?
[13:19] <Jan`> wols_ yes that's lovely. Unfortunately I don't even have Ubuntu let alone packages.
[13:19] <luckybamboo> wols_, or if ther eis no possibility, how to get rid of the proxy and use the direct way..
[13:19] <scguy318> Tobias92: good question, on Windows I would use GSpot :P
[13:19] <luckybamboo> wols_, yeah
[13:19] <Tobias92> If I play it in mplayer the screen goes all pink :(
[13:20] <wols_> luckybamboo: if you don't know where to change something how can you cahnge it?
[13:20] <Jowi> Tobias92, you use "file filename.avi"
[13:20] <wols_> Jan`: then you are in the wrong place or asking the wrong questions. this is ubuntu support
[13:20] <Tobias92> Jowi, righto, divX 5, thanks. How do I force mplayer to use that?
[13:20] <Jan`> wols_: Hey, they said Ubuntu could do it.
[13:20] <wols_> !codecs
[13:21] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: found it! =)
[13:21] <scguy318> Jan`: http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
[13:21] <g0rb3h> j_medic78: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_g-l/
[13:21] <wols_> Jan`: it can
[13:21] <Jan`> No, it can't.
[13:21] <Jan`> Look.
[13:21] <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
[13:21] <scguy318> Jan`: is that utility suitable for your needs?
[13:21]  * Jan` indicates a screen on which it is written "PC-VGA: Out of Range"
[13:21]  * g0rb3h is getting some lunch
[13:21] <wols_> scguy318: there are hfs+ utils in ubuntu
[13:21] <scguy318> Jan`: so for that, did you try what I said?
[13:21] <Jan`> I didn't understand the first word of what you said.
[13:21] <Jowi> Tobias92, it will automatically if it's supported. see if "mplayer -vo x11 filename.avi" also give you the pink tone.
[13:22] <scguy318> wols_ : I'm aware, however, Jan` is more interested in getting to HFS+, and X isn't working so well
[13:22] <wols_> Jan`: what hardware is this?
[13:22] <Disastro> which will work better to update feisty: alternate cd or internet update?
[13:22] <scguy318> Jan`: he's trying from LiveCD anyway, nary an install
[13:22] <wols_> Disastro: same thing
[13:22] <Tobias92> Jowi, it doesnt thanks. But I cant set it on full screen, I get black bars all around. Can't I tell it to "stretch out"?
[13:23] <wols_> scguy318: if you want to support windows: fine. ##windows
[13:23] <Filled-Void> Does anyone here use weatherget. I need help setting it up. I found a command which says python setup.py install --root=/path/to/root/ in order to install it but I cant either install it right or Im entering the incorrect path . IM doing this for conky
[13:23] <Jowi> Tobias92, mplayer -vo x11 -zoom (i think)
[13:23] <Jan`> Hmn.
[13:23] <Tobias92> Jowi, thanks a million! :)
[13:23] <redfox> I am trying to install ubuntu on an external hard drive. Where do I tell it to install grub if my external hard drive is sdb?
[13:23] <scguy318> wols_: ?
[13:23] <Jan`> HFSExplorer doesn't seem to like USB drives.
[13:24] <scguy318> Jan`: are you in the LiveCD session now?
[13:24] <Jan`> So that's out.
[13:24] <Jan`> scguy318: What d'you mean by "session"
[13:24] <wols_> Jan`: is there a computer monitor in your vicinity?
[13:24] <ifireball> redfox: (hd1)
[13:24] <Jan`> wols_: Several.
[13:25] <wols_> Jan`: then plug one in instead of a TV?
[13:25] <Cnerd> ive now more ram and another cddrive
[13:25] <Cnerd> :)
[13:25] <Jan`> Difficult.
[13:25] <negativt> Hi there.. I was watching a flash video and when I pressed a link to watch another one. The sound was gone. And now when I want to play music with "moc" this is the only thing I get: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[13:25] <redfox> ifireball- but that will install grub on my main hard drive wont it? I want to install grub to my external harddrive which is sdb.
[13:25] <Ubuntu2> whats a good amount of ram  to run ubuntu
[13:25] <negativt> Does anyone know how to solve that shi~?
[13:25] <wols_> redfox: sdb is (hd0)
[13:25] <wols_> redfox: erm, sdb is (hd1)
[13:25] <ifireball> redfox: the main drive is (hd0) as far as I can remember
[13:26] <Jack_Sparrow> redfox: HD0 is sda
[13:26] <negativt> Ubuntu2, I don't know.. 256 MB
[13:26] <scguy318> Ubuntu2: 256 MB is a bit low for GNOME though, I would strive for 512 MB if you can, or use a lighter Ubuntu variant
[13:26] <negativt> Ubuntu2, You can probably get it running on 128 if you want.
[13:27] <Ubuntu2> scguy how much do u have
[13:27] <Cnerd> on the cd stand 384
[13:27] <ifireball> negativt: the last time I checked Gnome needs approx 196MB so anything above that should work
[13:27] <scguy318> Ubuntu2: on this crappy laptop I have 512 MB
[13:27] <redfox> Jack_Sparrow- I want to install grub on the external hard drive (sdb).
[13:27] <Optyk> Hi again
[13:27] <Cnerd> hi
[13:27] <Ubuntu2> ok
[13:27] <Optyk> Anyone could help me configure apache? I have two users - regular and chrooted. When I open http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~optyk can I list files. On chrooted user (http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~kele) I get an 403 error, but I can access http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~kele/index
[13:27] <scguy318> hello
[13:27] <Ubuntu2> ty
[13:27] <luckybamboo> wols_, o.k. maybe i have to wait til wednesday... it would help me till then, just to get rid of my burning-problem.
[13:28] <Jan`> Ah.
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> redfox: We understand that... Just pointing out that the drive numbers start with 0 so your second drive number would be hd1 for sdb
[13:28] <luckybamboo> wols_, i tried to burn a dvd by brasero and nautilus. both return an error
[13:28] <Jan`> I am an idiot.
[13:28] <wols_> luckybamboo: man apt-get, you could try to set the proxy on commandline itself or via environment variable. hoping it overrids the currently set proxy
[13:28] <negativt> ifireball, Well.. I didn't say anything about gnome :P He could use Ubuntu without the graphical interface :)
[13:29] <ifireball> Optyk: try #apache
[13:29] <wols_> Jan`: now that you say it...
[13:29] <ifireball> negativt: yeah right, with that kind of question he would...
[13:29] <redfox> jack_sparrow- ok, thanks
[13:29] <sidewalk> how do i check what motherboard i have, in Ubuntu?
[13:29] <Optyk> ifireball: I tried:  < DustyBin> Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu)<-- heres the problem
[13:29] <wols_> Optyk: what's the premissions of ~/public_html
[13:29] <Jan`> wols_: Well, I just plugged the disk into this XP machine. And it seems to be able to read it.
[13:29]  * Jan` had no idea XP could read HFS+ disks
[13:29] <negativt> Jan`, can it o.O
[13:29] <bazhang> lshw sidewalk
[13:30] <Jan`> d'oh
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> negativt: When people ask about Ubuntu... It is assumed they are not talking about an alternate install without a gui
[13:30] <Ubuntu2> anybody in here use the Opera browser
[13:30] <brobostigon> xp cant read mac disks on its own, it requires special fs drivers i think??
[13:30] <negativt> Jack_Sparrow, yeahyeah xD
[13:30] <luckybamboo> wols_, maybe you mean man apt.conf?
[13:30] <Jan`> brobostigon: That's what I thought, but I just plugged it in and it is giving me a directory listing.
[13:30] <negativt> Ubuntu2, WEll.. Not now, but I have used it yes.
[13:30] <Optyk> wols_: 755
[13:30] <Jan`> Claims the filesystem is "RAW", in properties for the volume, but... it seems to work.
[13:31] <negativt> Optyk, Change it to 777 :D
[13:31] <Ubuntu2> and did u get java to work in Ubuntu
[13:31] <brobostigon> Jan`: that seems strange
[13:31] <negativt> Long live 777
[13:31] <Jan`> Very
[13:31] <negativt> Ubuntu2, Yes...
[13:31] <ifireball> Optyk: he's full of it, the Ubuntu Apache is perfectly standard afaik, the config is modular in /etc/apache/conf.d but that's it.
[13:31] <wols_> luckybamboo: that too but I'd set it as a apt-get commandline parameter
[13:31] <scguy318> luckybamboo: okay, I think I left you a bit hanging
[13:31] <negativt> Ubuntu2, Its easy as sitting on your bum..
[13:31] <Optyk> negativt: 42 is better :D
[13:31] <scguy318> luckybamboo: status?
[13:31] <luckybamboo> scguy318, what do you mean by status?
[13:31] <Ubuntu2> I go to the java home page its says I have the latest version but it does not  work
[13:31] <iCEifer> can anyone help me install a GTK2 theme under xubuntu? I already have the tar.gz for the theme but do I need to install metacity or something to install and use it?
[13:31] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: now if it's an .exe file, how do I go about getting the .inf file?
[13:32] <scguy318> luckybamboo: of your problem
[13:32] <negativt> Optyk, You cant have the own permissions set to 42..
[13:32] <scguy318> j_medic78: InstallShield? I would use unshield
[13:32] <negativt> so its not as cool :P
[13:32] <negativt> Ubuntu2, You got do install a plugin
[13:32] <luckybamboo> scguy318, wols_ and i are wondering about the port of apt-get. it always wants to use port 8080
[13:32] <negativt> Ubuntu2, hang on
[13:32] <scguy318> j_medic78: if its a WinZIP executable extractor, then just open in file-roller
[13:32] <Ubuntu2> k
[13:32] <scguy318> luckybamboo: set the HTTP proxy setting to use a diff port
[13:32] <ifireball> Optyk: but check of perhaps you need to install some kind of an additional Apache module
[13:32] <|DuReX|> ubuntu installed, but it has only LILO ? :( no GRUB ? :§
[13:33] <negativt> Ubuntu2, do this in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin"
[13:33] <Ubuntu2> k
[13:33] <negativt> or you can use synaptics
[13:33] <luckybamboo> scguy318, i have no access onto the proxy
[13:33] <wols_> |DuReX|: it isntalls grub by default. if you have lilo you went out of your way
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> |DuReX|: HOw did you install it and where did you get the cd
[13:33] <holycow> |DuReX|: i didn't know it was even possible to install lilo in a fresh install
[13:33] <scguy318> luckybamboo: yeah, but change the APT proxy setting to connect to the proxyd on the port that it listens on
[13:33] <holycow> indeedy what wols_ said
[13:33] <accor1> Hi, does anyone know how to calibrate a Touchscreen?
[13:33] <|DuReX|> I used alternate cd
[13:34] <|DuReX|> and it uses lilo :s
[13:34] <|DuReX|> :s
[13:34] <scguy318> luckybamboo: you said the proxy was on 1323 or some such?
[13:34] <wols_> dugbert: apt-get install grub
[13:34] <holycow> accor1: there are calibration utilities out there.  check the forums there are many threads on this. sorry no direct linkage for you off the top of my head.
[13:34] <luckybamboo> scguy318, i don't know the port. but be default it is 3128, isn't it?
[13:34] <accor1> holycow: thanks
[13:34] <luckybamboo> by deafault
[13:34] <luckybamboo> default
[13:34] <holycow> accor1: oh i remember i used an app called calibrator for it, you should be able to google it
[13:35] <scguy318> luckybamboo: possibly
[13:35] <negativt> |DuReX|, sudo apt-get install grub && sudo apt-get remove lilo && update-grub
[13:35] <negativt> should work
[13:35] <accor1> anyway, I'm trying to install on an Asus R2H
[13:35] <uwo> hi all. how do i mount a bin/cue image?
[13:35] <|DuReX|> i'm booting from an older desktop cd now :)
[13:35] <|DuReX|> gonne try it :)
[13:35] <holycow> but search the forums anyway, they have excellent info on how to do it properly
[13:35] <Ubuntu2> negativt sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version  it states
[13:35] <luckybamboo> scguy318, how to change the proxy settings?
[13:35] <tehcheez> uwo: Loop mount it :P
[13:35] <accor1> x.org conf didn't come up properly, but I fixed it after consulting a guide
[13:36] <scguy318> luckybamboo: System -> Prefs -> Network Proxy
[13:36] <negativt> Ubuntu2, Hm.. That leaves me a bit perplexed...
[13:36] <accor1> so should I report this as a bug somewhere?
[13:36] <Ubuntu2>  negativt  yes me to and for days
[13:36] <wols_> accor1: depends what you had to do
[13:36] <turbocueca> hello
[13:36] <negativt> Ubuntu2, What browser do you use?
[13:36] <j_medic78> g0rb3h: ndiswrapper -l gives me :  device (8086:4222) present (alternate driver: ipw3945)
[13:36] <tehcheez> uwo: mount -o loop -t iso9660 <your iso file> <mount point>
[13:36] <turbocueca> How can I change a fat32 label on linux without mtools?
[13:36] <wols_> tehcheez: a bin file is no iso
[13:37] <luckybamboo> scguy318, ah o.k. i set it to manual proxy configuration: http-proxy:192.168.178.0 port 3128
[13:37] <brobostigon> uwo: .cue is a text file, you cant mount it.
[13:37] <Ubuntu2> negativt 9.24 Opera
[13:37] <tehcheez> wols_: Oh, I misread that.
[13:37] <accor1> wols_: I added a few lines to xorg.conf
[13:37] <tehcheez> wols_: I though he said ISO :P
[13:37] <Ubuntu2> the puzzle is it          works in  firefox
[13:37] <negativt> Ubuntu2, that must be the problem. Cause I think "sun-java6-plugin" only installs the plugin for Firefox
[13:37] <luckybamboo> scguy318, but that doesn't change anything.
[13:37] <accor1> wols_: I'm guessing it's the resolution line
[13:37] <Ubuntu2> hmmmm
[13:37] <wols_> accor1: guess? did you edit it or not?
[13:37] <scguy318> luckybamboo: what's the line with the error? ill look it up
[13:38] <Ubuntu2> ok
[13:38] <accor1> wols_: I added a few lines
[13:38] <accor1> wols_: but I think it was the line that made the difference

[13:40] <negativt> Ubuntu2, I'm glad I could help :)
[13:41] <Optyk> Sure. Can I paste it it on pastebin?
[13:41] <ifireball> Optyk: k.
[13:42] <j_medic78> g0rb3: so should i disable the restricted linux driver, and reboot my system and see what happens?

[13:43] <tiredbones> bazhang, thanks for the pointer to that iso image you gave me. it worked.

[13:43] <Optyk> ifireball: http://cpaste.com/4538
[13:43] <scguy318> luckybamboo: yeah I got it, I'm writing out what you should try, moment
[13:43] <luckybamboo> ah nice
[13:44] <scguy318> luckybamboo: http_proxy=http://192.168.178.9:3213 apt-get ... <-- change port as appropriate, and w/e apt-get action you were trying to do
[13:44] <scguy318> luckybamboo: if permissible, you could try port scanning the machine to determine what the proxyd actually listens on
[13:44] <tehcheez> Nicolaidis: apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-*
[13:45] <luckybamboo> scguy318, how to scan the port? nmap?
[13:45] <Nicolaidis> tehcheez: it doens't installl
[13:45] <martyn_> Hello chaps and chappesses. I have a command line install of ubuntu (it is actually the LAMP server, if this helps) and would like to have a GUI on top (might seem daft but that's freedom for you huh?!). Anyway. the girlfriend is using Xubuntu and I do like the clean lines of Xfce4. I done apt-get xfce4-panel and a whole host of other xfce related packages but don't know if I have them all,...
[13:45] <martyn_> ...and am not sure how to get it started. Are there any easy answers? Thanks for any response.
[13:45] <martyn_> Plus, would it be easier for me to install Xubuntu from scratch and then install a LAMP server on top? I am happy to tinker... but online documentation suggests installing as a full complement LAMP is a time-saver from config point of view..?
[13:45] <tehcheez> I'm not sure, I'm running FreeBSD.
[13:45] <scguy318> luckybamboo: that'll do, yes
[13:45] <ifireball> Optyk: if you didn't add any directive to tell Apache to actually chroot, then no, I don't think mod_chroot does anything
[13:45] <tehcheez> So I can't try it myself.
[13:46] <scguy318> luckybamboo: make sure to run nmap as root of course
[13:46] <troythetechguy> How do I get my prompt back in "terminal" after issuing a command to run in the background using "&"?
[13:46] <sn0> press return troythetechguy
[13:47] <Noya> troythetechguy: try fg :)
[13:47] <Jowi> martyn_, see here on how to add X and WM you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[13:47] <luckybamboo> scguy318, that are the ports it listens to: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/25277/
[13:47] <troythetechguy> sn0, I tried that, but my screen just continues to scroll up.
[13:47] <ifireball> Optyk: anyway read about Ubuntu's (Debian's) way of handling Apache in /etc/apache2/README; your config could be made a little more elegant (and potentially apt-maintainable)
[13:47] <martyn_> Thanks very much Jowi - sorry to disturb...
[13:47] <troythetechguy> Noya, I tried "fg" too, but all that happens is my screen scrolls up.
[13:47] <Jowi> martyn_, you're not disturbing anyone. this is the support channel after all :)
[13:48] <martyn_> OK - cheers bro.
[13:48] <Noya> troythetechguy: so you get output from the background process
[13:48] <Noya> troythetechguy: and thats why its scrolling?
[13:48] <troythetechguy> Noya, Here is the command I'm running - sleep 15; ls | grep x* &
[13:48] <martyn_> Jowi - quick reading that page now  - goldmine. Thank you.
[13:49] <troythetechguy> Noya, after I run the command, I don't have a prompt or cursor anymore.
[13:49] <Jowi> martyn_, np
[13:49] <Noya> troythetechguy: thats because sleep isn't done in the  background
[13:49] <luckybamboo> scguy318, which process is apt-get using? squid-http?
[13:49] <troythetechguy> Noya, Ah, I was wondering if the sleep command had something to do with it!

[13:50] <Optyk> ifireball: Soon I will write how to create chroot with ssh, ftp and http, but first I must solve soe problems. I looking for any how to but I couldn't find it.
[13:50] <scguy318> luckybamboo: I believe APT uses some libs to make HTTP CONNECT connection through the Squid server running on the other server
[13:50] <underyx> hi
[13:50] <ifireball> Optyk: why are you trying to use chroot there anyway?
[13:51] <luckybamboo> scguy318, so now i try: http_proxy=http://192.168.178.9:3128 apt-get ?
[13:51] <troythetechguy> Noya, That works!  :)  Thank you.  What does the 2 (&&) do?
[13:51] <scguy318> luckybamboo: apt-get whatever you wanted to do with it
[13:51] <scguy318> luckybamboo: but yes
[13:51] <billy> how can i completely uninstall my wireless drivers?
[13:51] <scguy318> luckybamboo: and indeed the server's Squid proxy runs on 3128

[13:51] <profoX`> what's ubuntu's policy on drivers? do new drivers for graphics cards and drivers like madwifi get backported to dapper and/or gutsy now? i thought i read a spec about that sometime ago
[13:51]  * g0rb3h is back witha full tummy
[13:52] <rapparello> italiano
[13:52] <Noya> troythetechguy: its an AND... like do this AND that... you can do it wiht || OR too... if you make a && b and a fails, b isn't executed anymore
[13:52] <Optyk> ifireball: I want create few accounts for my friends, but I dont want to allow they leave home
[13:52] <underyx> Could someone help me with a GRUB Error 13 when trying to use Win XP?
[13:52] <ifireball> Optyk: I hope you're not thinking its gonna be more secure in any way, because it isn't. (BSD's chroot is different in that respect)
[13:52] <rapparello> ubuntu
[13:52] <wols_> profoX`: they usually don't. sometimes there are backports for some things but nothing is guaranteed and they're not in ubuntu repos but in backports
[13:52] <Noya> troythetechguy: plus its seen as one command, so the whole command is run in background...
[13:52] <troythetechguy> Noya, that makes sense.  Thanks again!
[13:52] <Noya> troythetechguy: with ; its the same as you would type ENTER
[13:52] <wols_> underyx: fdisk -l and menu.lst in a pastebin please
[13:52] <ifireball> Optyk: if you really want then constrained you should use something like OpenVZ or UML or Vserver
[13:53] <Noya> troythetechguy: np :)
[13:53] <scguy318> Optyk: chroot possibly, though it's not much of a security measure
[13:53] <underyx> wols: I prepared them, but what's a pastebin?
[13:53] <scguy318> !pastebin | underyx
[13:53] <ubotu> underyx: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[13:53] <ifireball> Optyk: otherwise chroot will not provide any additional security over setting file permissions and not giving the root password...
[13:53] <Optyk> Vserver is something similiar to vbox?
[13:53] <wols_> !paste | underyx
[13:53] <underyx> ok
[13:54] <ifireball> Optyk: I don't know what Vbox is
[13:54] <Optyk> VirtualBox I mean
[13:54] <underyx> And what should be the syntax?
[13:55] <ifireball> Optyk: it is similar in some respects, but its an OS-lever virtualizer rather then a virtual machine

[14:06] <markvandenborre> wols_, thx for the hint
[14:06] <markvandenborre> I seem to remember there was at least something like that
[14:06] <luckybamboo> scguy318, that is why i tried to check wheather the media was mounted correctly. i checked the /etc/fstab --> correctly. then i inserted a app-cd for checking wheather it starts or not. it detects the cd...
[14:07] <wols_> markvandenborre: but you should really run a 64bit version anyways. it'S a server

[14:22] <underyx> well, I try again: I have Error 13 from GRUB when trying to load Win XP
[14:22] <underyx> fdisk -l and menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49972/
[14:22] <underyx> Could someone help?
[14:23] <chrometiger> wols_: u think maybe im just missing some plugin that wont let mp3 files run in any player ?
[14:23] <|DuReX|> underyx: its prolly not (hd0,1)
[14:24] <Disastro> wols_ it didnt work!
[14:24] <Disastro> still failed to fetch
[14:24] <wols_> chrometiger: yes
[14:24] <finn> hi does an ubuntu server need a antivirus software or firewall?
[14:24] <chrometiger> hmm
[14:24] <wols_> Disastro: fix your network then. I tried and it does work here fine
[14:24] <cybergig> Okay I'm trying to get into the development field, but I need some general Ideas on what IDE to use for an all round purpose.
[14:24] <wols_> Disastro: what error message?
[14:24] <underyx> |Durex|: I tryed (hd0,0) too
[14:24] <underyx> What could it be then?
[14:24] <cybergig> Does anybody have any ideas
[14:24] <schnollk> ubotu: thanks, i found that tool already but it doesn't find the ntfs part which I find not surprising. I fear to change partition table which still has ext3 from the install. I used the "resize" option during install but must have selected something wrong
[14:24] <wols_> chrometiger: anjutah, eclipse, etc
[14:25] <Disastro> the wget worked, but when it changes the repositories it gives the failed to fetch
[14:25] <Disastro> i did the wget and started gutsy update
[14:25] <brobostigon> finn: yoou would only need anti virus for if you will have windows machines connected to it, but definatly keep a firewall
[14:25] <mirak> is disk manager a ubuntu appliation ?I can't find it
[14:25] <replica> wols_: i got lot of numbers O_o with glxinfo
[14:25] <schnollk> ubotu: can you say if it would help to delete the ext3 partition and use testdisk again?
[14:26] <finn> I will have a samba server....I think.....because I want to operate a Tor server
[14:26] <finn> which opensource firewall is best?
[14:26] <wols_> underyx: I wanted all of it. not just excerpts. both are clearly missing info
[14:26] <wols_> !best | finn
[14:26] <ubotu> finn: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[14:26] <wols_> finn: why do you want a firewall?
[14:26] <astro76> !iptables | finn
[14:26] <ubotu> finn: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[14:26] <brobostigon> schnollk: ubotu is a bot, not a real person, it cant answer.
[14:27] <wols_> schnollk: ubotu is a bot and deleting anything won#t help you it will make it harder instead
[14:27] <luckybamboo> tatters, i suppose it's mounting-problem. when i tell k3b to eject the medium, then it opens the false device.
[14:27] <finn> thanks ubotu
[14:27] <Cnerd> Ubuntu works :)
[14:27] <Erikina> I've installed 7.10, and I've got a question. The GUI is like 20px taller than my screen resolution
[14:27] <finn> wols I'm not sure I need one for a tor server but I want to be sure.......
[14:27] <Erikina> and it allows me to scroll, when i put my mouse at the top of the screen
[14:27] <Erikina> or at the bottom
[14:27] <Erikina> You know what I'm talking about?
[14:27] <Cnerd> i have 2 hdd's in my pc, but, i see 1 in ubuntu
[14:27] <aro> Erikina: have you changed resolutions around?
[14:28] <wols_> finn: you need to keep your ports you don't want accesible closed, not firewalled
[14:28] <Cnerd> how do i install one?
[14:28] <MrGreencastle> Erikina, you might need to change the resolution
[14:28] <Erikina> Yes, aro. The screen res is fine
[14:28] <replica> wols_:what to do with this numbers from glxinfo?
[14:28] <wols_> Cnerd: fdisk -l
[14:28] <Erikina> I don't mind it doing it
[14:28] <wols_> replica: pastebin them
[14:28] <Erikina> It works nicely. I can only see 1 bar at a time
[14:28] <wols_> replica: and the numbers are only a very small part. the text is important
[14:28] <roy_> hi, is there a utility I can use to change the partition sizes after installation?
[14:28] <Erikina> It's only like 20px bigger. Meaning I can only see 1 bar (the top) or 1 bar (the bottom)
[14:28] <Erikina> But I'd like to configure it a little
[14:29] <finn> isn't a tor server meant to be open by nature? I'm simply worried that it will be hacked and made part of a botnet.
[14:29] <wols_> roy_: gparted. but you most probably need to boot from a live cd
[14:29] <Erikina> and can't find any config files for it
[14:29] <replica> wols_:pastebin?
[14:29] <luckybamboo> how can i check, if the device is mounted correctly. i thought having one app-cd in the device and the app is starting then then device should be mounted correctly, shouldn't it?
[14:29] <wols_> finn: then don't run a server
[14:29] <finn> ummm not helpful advice
[14:29] <wols_> finn: either you trust the app you run as serve to be secure or you can't run it. simple
[14:29] <finn> okay.....
[14:29] <schnollk> wols_: brobostigon: well, as you can tell, I'm new to irc... sorry. But thanks for you'r hints anyway. I new chances are slim but also know that data on disk is usually not deleted until overwritten. So my hope is to at least get some files back
[14:30] <roy_> thanks
[14:30] <finn> but is there a program that can check for spyware/ bots/viruses etc? an all-in-one opensource program?
[14:30] <wols_> finn: no
[14:30] <Cnerd> hello????
[14:30] <rsk> finn: no need really
[14:30] <finn> ok
[14:30] <g0rb3h> is there such a thing as linux spywear?
[14:31] <wols_> g0rb3h: linux has something better. rootkits

[14:37] <f00f> ed_, yeah, I switched from Gentoo about 6 months ago... having such a huge user base is great :)

[14:38] <ed_> To name a few: Debian, openSUSE, mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Fedora...

[14:39] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[14:39] <wols_> billy: it's in the same directory /etc/udev/rules.d/  only the numbering is wrong iirc
[14:39] <memax> ciao a tutti
[14:40] <Ein_> I have small question
[14:40] <hasan> kann jemand hier deutsch
[14:40] <wols_> where "wrong" is kinda in the eye of the beholder
[14:40] <ed_> And thanks f00f and disastro.

[14:40] <f00f> yesterday one of my desktops died, so I swapped the HD out from the dead one to this one.  Ubuntu automatically configured itself to this hardware, and everything works out of the box, even the wireless card. :)
[14:40] <sandr-> does anyone know a good defragging utility for ubuntu?
[14:40] <f00f> sandr-, don't need it, ext3 is a non-fragmenting file system.
[14:40] <billy> wols_,  there is a persistent-net-rules generator, for not a persistent-net-rules
[14:40] <Jowi> sandr-, if you use ext3 you don't need defrag
[14:40] <Ein_> how I can identified my name?
[14:40] <astro76> !defrag | sandr-
[14:40] <ubotu> sandr-: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[14:40] <replica> wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49976/
[14:41] <wols_> replica: everything is there for compiz
[14:41] <Jowi> sandr-, ...and "defrag" package is for ext2 if I'm not mistaken.
[14:41] <sandr-> actually I mean a package to defrag my external NTFS disk
[14:42] <sandr-> or do I need to hook it up to a windows system to do that?
[14:42] <wols_> replica: install compizconfig-settings-manager and any other compiz plugins you want
[14:42] <astro76> Ein_, have you registered?
[14:42] <Ein_> no
[14:42] <astro76> sandr-, I believe you need to use windows, that would be best
[14:42] <jussi01> !register > Ein_
[14:42] <wols_> sandr-: I certainly would use ubuntu for defragging ntfs
[14:42] <astro76> Ein_, check your PM from ubotu
[14:42] <replica> wols_: thx
[14:42] <Ein_> how?
[14:43] <sandr-> maybe it was possible, thx for the answers
[14:43] <astro76> !register | Ein_ here,
[14:43] <ubotu> Ein_ here,: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[14:43] <wols_> billy: delete ghe generator and this udev foolishness with interfaces ends
[14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs
[14:43] <ed_> Is Ubuntu much better than Debian? What are the main differences?
[14:43] <brobostigon> i have just installed blogtk, t blog ob blogger, but its asking for a server, what do i use??
[14:43] <astro76> !debian | ed_
[14:43] <ubotu> ed_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[14:43] <billy> wols_, thanks... ill give it a go
[14:43] <ed_> Thanks.
[14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs, when i use dmraid ?
[14:44] <ed_> I almost used those once :P
[14:44] <Ein_> thanks... I'll try now
[14:44] <underyx> back now
[14:44] <underyx> wols: It has given another error yesterday, now it says "Compressed BOOTMRG"
[14:44] <wols_> dugbert: dpkg-reconfiguring the kernel package should be enough. but ubuntu might be different
[14:44] <wols_> underyx: windows error
[14:44] <Cnerd> hoe do i format a harddisk?
[14:44] <Cnerd> it is ntfs
[14:44] <Cnerd> :/
[14:45] <f00f> Cnerd, do you want to make it which filesystem
[14:45] <brobostigon> cnerd: gprted
[14:45] <brobostigon> cnerd: gparted
[14:45] <Cnerd> ok
[14:45] <Cnerd> juj
[14:45] <Cnerd> huh
[14:45] <Cnerd> im new :p
[14:45] <g0rb3h> I think the main differances between the distros can be summed up nicely by the maxim under the splash logo, "linux for human beings"
[14:45] <underyx> ouch
[14:45] <Cnerd> its a second disl
[14:45] <Cnerd> so, ext3?
[14:46] <Disastro> has anyone ide how to fix failed to fetch error in feisty to ubuntu update?
[14:46] <f00f> yeah, ext3 is the usual choice.
[14:46] <billy> is there a rename command for linux? or should ijust use mv?
[14:46] <Cnerd> ok, and, how do i use gparted?
[14:46] <Jowi> Disastro, see if another mirror solves the prob
[14:46] <f00f> Cnerd, are you just trying to install linux?
[14:46] <astro76> billy, it's mv
[14:46] <Jowi> !mirror | Disastro
[14:46] <ubotu> Disastro: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[14:46] <Cnerd> no
[14:46] <Cnerd> it is already installed
[14:47] <Jowi> hmmm, that was not what I meant by mirror
[14:47] <Disastro> how i change another mirror in internet update feisty to gutsy?
[14:47] <sandr> hm
[14:47] <Jowi> right, the second link actually list them
[14:48] <f00f> Cnerd, if you don't already have it you need to install it with apt-get install gparted
[14:48] <Ein_> no one there at that room :(
[14:48] <Ein_> any way
[14:48] <irotas> is there any item I can add to the GNOME panel that will notify me when software updates are available?
[14:48] <legosa> Hey
[14:48] <astro76> irotas, it should do that out of the box
[14:48] <Ein_> did any one use Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6?
[14:49] <astro76> irotas, you will see a update manager icon in the notification area when updates are available
[14:49] <Disastro> Jowi: how i change the mirrors
[14:49] <astro76> Ein_, hopefully not
[14:49] <irotas> astro76: hmm, for some reason i've never seen that, but i've certainly used the upgrade manager many times to update my software
[14:49] <xiven> msg NickServ identify d3c8v4
[14:50] <Cnerd> whats the password of root????
[14:50] <irotas> i've got other items in the notification area, just never software update notifications
[14:50] <astro76> !root | Cnerd
[14:50] <ubotu> Cnerd: 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
[14:50] <Disastro> Jowi: and when i use wget it downloads the packages.gz
[14:50] <astro76> xiven, change your password quickly
[14:50] <xiven> Hey
[14:50] <g0rb3h> lol ubotu =)
[14:50] <xiven> Have you guys fixed the error with Windows Dual-Boot turning off NIC's yet?
[14:50] <billy_> wols_, didn't work :( even after a reboot
[14:50] <irotas> astro76: is there a way I could have turned off such a feature? i'd like to turn it back on :)
[14:51] <astro76> irotas, you could have removed the "notification area" applet from the panel
[14:51] <fairman> Cnerd: it is your password (password which was set for first user)
[14:51] <Ein_> so sad... cuz I want to know what version of Original Ubuntu that Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6 use
[14:51] <irotas> astro76: no, that applet is still there
[14:51] <irotas> astro76: i've got 3 items in notification applet right now
[14:52] <wols_> billy_: grep -r ath /etc/udev/*
[14:52] <love> hai
[14:52] <Jowi> Disastro, you don't need to use wget. use "apt-get -d" to download only from the mirrors.
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <love> ;
[14:52] <fairman> Could anybody help me with configuring xorg.conf? I have old nVidia RIVA TNT 2 and i have problem with resolution and openGL support.
[14:52] <Jowi> bbl
[14:52] <Cnerd> how do i instakll gparted, it gives errors: i dont have rights
[14:52] <darksider> can someone help me? when i start up my ubuntu box the login screen's text is huge and i cant see the login forms.
[14:52] <astro76> irotas, in system > admin > software sources, Updates tab, check settings under Automatic updates
[14:52] <f00f> sudo apt-get install gparted
[14:52] <irotas> astro76: now, at one point I *did* delete the notification area applet, but I put it back shortly afterward
[14:52] <Disastro> Jowi: but im updating to gutsy
[14:52] <xiven> Okay

[14:53] <xiven> Has there been a fix to Ubuntu being unable to reactivate the NIC, after a reboot from a dual-boot of Windows?
[14:53] <g0rb3h> fairman: I used to have one of them, pastebin me your xorg.conf

[14:54] <astro76> xiven, hmm dunno if that is solvable in linux or not, or if it's a windows issue of not resetting the card properly
[14:54] <irotas> astro76: its always been set like that

Whenever ubuntu boots I see random characters flashing on the screen instead of the logo, and the text in the console is _huge_.  Everything boots just fine, but I'd like to get the splash problem fixed.
[14:59] <f00f> or could I just disable the boot splash to get a normal console? :)

[15:13] <x3roconf> Retro: http://www.visi.com/~grante/sansa/
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: use gparted
[15:13] <mirak> I have this errors in dmesg, is it bad ?   72.612302] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: You can also use cli/terminal if you prefer that method
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> x3roconf: What has the link you provided got to do with his question?
[15:15] <x3roconf> ok that link sucked
[15:16] <x3roconf> realized it now lol
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: THat message does not look good.  was it a one time event or reoccuring

[15:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have located the mountpoint of my mp3 player... i don't have the option to format it though... what can i do now? i need to format it to update the firmware of my sansa e260 mp3 player... help
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mirak: I would make sure I had a backup... not sure if it is a dma issue or a drive failing.. Others are much better at figuring those out
[15:18] <x3roconf> Retro´: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312196 for e200 but maybe it works
[15:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, and yes, i have used gparted to do that, but i don't have the option to format it
[15:18] <andre_> hello all
[15:19] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the filesystem of my device is FAT32
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: you cant format a mounted drive...  umount it and see if it lets you.  What format is the player wanting
[15:19] <fsckr> Retro`, can you delete the partition thats on it?  I had a problem like that as well.  Once i deleted what was originally there and create a partition i was able to format it
[15:19] <fsckr> umm yea can't be mounted :)
[15:19] <fsckr> hehe
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> later people breakfast is ready
[15:21] <xiven> So, what was the status on that bug fix?
[15:22] <foso> can i use beryl and compiz fusion at the same time?
[15:22] <astro76> xiven, you could check on launchpad, or at least give us a link to the bug
[15:23] <astro76> foso, I'm sure you can't
[15:24] <Retro`> oh my god
[15:24] <Retro`> now i can't do anything with my mp3 player
[15:24] <Retro`> oh shit
[15:24] <Retro`> it can't start
[15:24] <Mr_Sonoma> foso, they both do the same thing, 3d effects everything that beryl did fusion can do and more
[15:24] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help
[15:24] <x3roconf> lol waht happened?

[15:25] <jdolan__> hi, does anyone know when the latest nvidia will be in the Gutsy repos?
[15:25] <charleston> What dose a security vulerability looks like?
[15:25] <jdolan__> there's a quite annoying defect with the version currently available for Gutsty.
[15:25] <foso> how do i make my windows look cooler, i thought that was beryl?
[15:26] <Retro`> i unmounted the device and then formated the drive of the device to FAT32... is there anyway i can restore to previous state?
[15:26] <astro76> foso, compiz fusion, comes with gutsy
[15:26] <charleston> What dose a security vulerability looks like?
[15:26] <x3roconf> don't install latest driver if u have 8800GT it's buggy
[15:26] <andre_> iam new in using ubuntu (7.10) and using gnome...  - before that i used years KDE
[15:26] <andre_> but i have some questions...
[15:26] <jdolan__> x3roconf: how so?  ( i have 8600GT)
[15:26] <Lunar_Lamp> andre_, just ask :-)
[15:26] <foso> astro76 i got it but i dont see what im going for, ill just keep tinkering, thanks
[15:27] <andre_> where can i define how much lines willbe scroll by using the mouse-wheel?
[15:27] <x3roconf> jdolan: fan bug
[15:27] <x3roconf> makes it very noisy
[15:27] <Lunar_Lamp> andre_, I'm not sure you can
[15:27] <daedra> someone here must have nice small font in framebuffer console?!
[15:28] <x3roconf> and previous drivers won't work too
[15:28] <turbocueca> I'm trying to connect a laptop with a linksys PCMCIA wireless card to my access point, but no success. It detects the card, but not the network. Can somebody help me?
[15:28] <x3roconf> with 8800GT
[15:29] <tho1> turbocueca does ifconfig show the card?
[15:29] <astro76> daedra, you need to add a vga=xxx option to the defoptions line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, something like vga=791 but you can google for other options
[15:29] <turbocueca> tho1, ifconfig no
[15:29] <turbocueca> tho1, iwconfig yes
[15:30] <astro76> daedra, after you change that you will need to run 'sudo update-grub' and reboot
[15:31] <turbocueca> tho1, this is a bcm43xx
[15:31] <andre_> is there a way to show in fullscreen-mode of "Eye of Gnome" the filename, and the number of current picture of all pictures?  for example   foobar.jpg (12/29323)
[15:31] <f1sh3r> can someone help me out with a lamp development server
[15:31] <andre_> cause when i start a diashow it wouldbe nice to know how many pictures willbe follow
[15:32] <daedra> thanks
[15:32] <tho1> turbocueca what does iwconfig call the card...wlan0, eth0, ath0?
[15:32] <turbocueca> tho1, eth1
[15:33] <matux> hi, is  eclipse web tools in the ubuntu repositories?
[15:33] <todd_> what is the best way to make a folder to share amongst many users on a system?
[15:33] <Arelis> Guys, Gutsy is a real unstable system.. can't you release critical updates to harden everything BEFORE the release of hardy?
[15:33] <daedra> todd_: samba
[15:34] <tho1> turbocueca and 'sudo ifup eth1' doesn't start the card? does it return an error message?
[15:34] <turbocueca> gutsy is alright
[15:34] <todd_> daedra: lol no I mean permissions wise
[15:34] <f1sh3r> where do i put my *.php files so that the LAMP server sees them?
[15:35] <x3roconf> todd_ or FTP
[15:35] <turbocueca> tho1 - Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1
[15:35] <ifireball> todd_: depends what what you are trying to achieve, who reads? who writes?
[15:35] <turbocueca> tho1, the card is enabled, however it can't connect to my access point
[15:36] <tho1> turbocueca then ifconfig shows eth1?
[15:36] <turbocueca> flsh3r, htdocs
[15:36] <turbocueca> tho1, ifconfig no, only iwconfig
[15:37] <todd_> i am just trying to make a folder where a bunch of people on the local PC (all of the same group) can work on a project together... what is the best way of doing this?
[15:37] <ifireball> todd_: root-owned + sticky group write permissions seems to be a good idea (given you have a group with all the permitted users in it)
[15:37] <tho1> turbocueca right...you won't get anywhere til it shows in ifconfig. Check /etc/network/interfaces and see if there is an entry for eth1
[15:37] <f1sh3r> do i need to set myself up in a group to have access to the httpdocs area?
[15:37]  * daedra agrees with ifireball 
[15:37] <tho1> turbocueca  should be several lines...I can pastebin mine if you need it.
[15:38] <todd_> ifierball: ahh that sounds right... how do you set a dir "sticky"?
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, 2 lines mine
[15:38] <daedra> edit group file
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, I installed gutsy today, and it didn't download the critical updates during the installation due to no connection
[15:38] <turbocueca> tho1, Can that be related to this problem?
[15:38] <chazco> Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt work in 7.10 when connected to the motherboards USB ports. A PCI USB port works fine - unless I want to use GRUB/BIOS.... How can I fix this so the keyboard will work on the motherboard ports?
[15:39] <todd_> how do you set a dir "sticky"???
[15:39] <turbocueca> tho1, It also doesn't show the Ubuntu logo while loading the system
[15:39] <ifireball> todd_: you play with the 1st 3 permission bits, e.g. chmod 2770 should do the trick
[15:39] <x3roconf> turbocueca: not critical because tehere are zero remote holes
[15:39] <tho1> turbocueca it didn't download the updates because it can't see the network. You need to get the interface working before you can get the updates
[15:39] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[15:40] <ifireball> todd_: w8, there is another issue of who is allowed to delete, also, do you have some kind of a user who is gonna be "in charge" ?
[15:40] <todd_> ifierball: um... root
[15:40] <turbocueca> tho1, it's weird because it shows the connection on gnome
[15:41] <turbocueca> tho1, looks like that it works but doesn't connect
[15:41] <ifireball> todd_: hmm, actually letting root own the files may be a little dangerous
[15:41] <tho1> turbocueca is the bcm43xx driver loaded?
[15:41] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, are you here?
[15:41] <turbocueca> tho1, How to be sure?
[15:41] <x3roconf> ifireball: why it's dangerous
[15:42] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have bricked my mp3 player. completely
[15:42] <tho1> turbocueca in a terminal....'lsmod | grep bcm43'
[15:42] <ifireball> x3roconf: becasue someone may be able to create a suid-root executable
[15:42] <turbocueca> tho1, on gnome says: Driver: bcm43xx
[15:42] <todd_> ifireball: ok what do you sugggest?
 Is there a program for mounting .dmg files in Ubuntu Gutsy?
[15:43] <ifireball> todd_: w8
[15:43] <Retro`> please help me, anyone, to put my bricked SanDisk Sansa e260 mp3 player into manufactoring mode
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1, 3 lines
[15:43] <tho1> turbocueca ok...then the driver is loaded.
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1, about bcm43xx and ieee80211
[15:43] <turbocueca> tho1m ok
[15:44] <tho1> turbocueca (thinking)
[15:44] <Retro`> i have accidentally formated the drive /dev/sda that my device was plugged on

[15:44] <Abyssal> hi

[15:45] <Retro`> please help anyone
[15:45] <turbocueca> tho1, with gnome
[15:46] <ifireball> todd_: you see, there are 2 options here to choose from: either users retain ownership of their files, or you make some regular user own the directory and make that sticky as well (therefore making him own the files as well)

[15:46] <tho1> turbocueca I am accessing my server remotely so I can see what gnome needs...give me a sec

[15:46] <turbocueca> tho1, okay
[15:46] <x3roconf> use nobody
[15:46] <luckybamboo> i tried to burn by k3b, but k3b always tell me to insert a blank medium. the inserted medium is definetely blank. the fstab also looks good. even k3b detects the the writer correctly as /dev/scd1. maybe a permissions-problem?
[15:47] <ifireball> todd_: or the group leader
[15:47] <turbocueca> tho1, my laptop is frozen rrr
[15:47] <todd_> ifireball: ok

[15:47] <f00f> Abyssal, set the DPI higher
[15:48] <tho1> turbocueca in System-Administration-Network it shows eth1 right?
[15:48] <Abyssal> foof: how?
[15:48] <Abyssal> foof: is there an option within sane?
[15:48] <f00f> Abyssal, I think it's the --resolution option or something...
[15:48] <turbocueca> tho1, just a bit, it's refusing to open, restarting X
[15:48] <ifireball> todd_: any any case, test, test, and test again...
[15:48] <f00f> Abyssal, or you can just apt-get install xsane.. it's easier.
[15:49] <tho1> turbocueca it doesn't show ethx....it will show 'Wireless connection' (jeez...getting old)
[15:49] <Abyssal> foof: it is xsane already
[15:49] <bagh0662> #quit
[15:50] <turbocueca> tho1, sorry, gotta restart, my network window is blank and grey
[15:50] <turbocueca> tho1, just 2 minutes
[15:50] <tho1> I am using NX to access my server remotely. Usually in xfce, which works fine. But now in gnome there is no title bar....does anyone know of this issue?
[15:50] <tho1> turbocueca ok
[15:50] <prudo> ola
[15:51] <luckybamboo> mmh i also tried it as root-user and k3b still tell me to insert a blank medium...
[15:51] <turbocueca> tho1, may channels have something to do with?
[15:51] <lobosque> how do I enter in a directory with space in the name trough shell?
[15:51] <turbocueca> tho1, it never asked me for the wireless channel I'm using
[15:52] <tho1> turbocueca shouldn't....it should scan for the channel
[15:52] <tho1> turbocueca there isn't much you need to define to start with....unless you have changed configuration of the router or something
[15:52] <turbocueca> tho1, it was WPA2 before
[15:53] <lobosque> how do I enter in a directory with space in the name trough shell?
[15:53] <turbocueca> tho1, but I changed to disable to avoid problems
[15:53] <tho1> turbocueca are you sure the wpa is turned off?
[15:53] <Abyssal> foof: can i send you the resulting scan file? i am not content with it. maybe you know how to improve.
[15:53] <tho1> turbocueca you have to disable wpa in both the laptop and the router
[15:53] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[15:53] <Whyvas> lobosque, type the beginning of the name then hit tab
[15:54] <turbocueca> tho1, on ubuntu I'm connecting with no security
[15:54] <tho1> turbocueca ok...in gnome...System-Administration-Network
[15:54] <turbocueca> tho1, ok, it shows wiress connection, wired connection and connection with modem
[15:55] <Abyssal> the are also 2 stripes in it.
[15:55] <x3roconf> turbocueca: use at least wpa lol
[15:55] <cybergig> @_@
[15:55] <turbocueca> x3roconf, right
[15:55] <tho1> turbocueca the ESSID should match the SSID of your router, the Network Password should be blank, and the Connection Settings Configuration should be dhcp
[15:55] <Whyvas> anyone know why uname -i gives me unknown instead of i386 ?
[15:55] <aoupi> lobosque: you can use " around the directory name, or \ before the space (like "a b" or a\ b), but the esiest is tabing like Whyvas said

[15:56] <jaggy> hey how do i install winamp on ubuntu 7.10?
[15:56] <turbocueca> tho1, what about the type of password?
[15:56] <Whyvas> cybergig, google compiz fusion
[15:56] <Whyvas> jaggy, try XMMS
[15:56] <tho1> turbocueca those should all be under the wireless connection.
[15:56] <Mr_Sonoma> what are you trying to play? .mp3?
[15:56] <{Nathan}> jaggy: You can't, without using wine. It's windows only.
[15:56] <Pici> !cube | cybergig
[15:56] <astro76> jaggy, audacious and xmms are like winamp

[15:57] <cybergig> Thanks ubotu
[15:57] <{Nathan}> jaggy: Then you can try to run it in wine
[15:57] <turbocueca> tho1, okay

[15:57] <jaggy> kk nathan ill try that
[15:57] <turbocueca> tho1, let me test
[15:57] <jaggy> and its for a belgium radio online ..
[15:57] <{Nathan}> jaggy: other programs can handle radio streams
[15:57] <Whyvas> XMMS can play those jaggy
[15:57] <tho1> turbocueca I recall that it takes a while in gnome to get the interface to come back up again.

[16:00] <Retro`> help :(
[16:00] <turbocueca> tho1, no scan results
[16:00] <tho1> turbocueca I forget...is your wireless 0 or eth1?
[16:00] <turbocueca> tho1, 1
[16:01] <Mr_Sonoma> !patience | Retro`
[16:01] <ubotu> Retro`: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[16:01] <tho1> turbocueca sorry...I am looking at mine...eth0....use the same command with eth1
[16:01] <astro76> Retro`, because you didn't ask a specific question, no one will answer "How do I use x?"
[16:01] <Abyssal> i got 2 colored stripes in my scan. how can i change that?
[16:01] <Abyssal> anyone want to see the file?

[16:02] <tho1> turbocueca ifup says it is ignoring unknown interface...<thinking>
[16:02] <{Nathan}> Retro`: We can't. We don't know about that. This isn't a "fix all your problems" channel.
[16:02] <BetaTest> I have installed wine, and when I open mIRC, it opes up, it runs in the background, but I can't see the program.  How would I go about fixing that?

[16:03] <Mr_Sonoma> BetaTest, are you opening mirc from the "wine" selection in your main menu?
[16:03] <Whyvas> BetaTest, did you try xchat?
[16:03] <x3roconf> Retro´: smash ur player and post video @youtube
[16:03] <brobostigon> jaggy: i like bmp, its very similer to xmms, but newer.
[16:03] <Pici> x3roconf: Please don't, this is a support channel.
[16:03] <tamgo> x3roconf: LOL!
[16:03] <{Nathan}> x3roconf: That worked with my bricked DS-Lite
[16:04] <GarulfoUnix> hi guys
[16:04] <Retro`> please tell me how can i get a 4 GB of free space from my /dev/hda and set that mountpoint as /dev/sda as a FAT32 filesystem using gparted
[16:04] <tamgo> {Nathan}: How does one brick a DS Lite?
[16:04] <GarulfoUnix> someone know how to center automaticaly windows with metacity's WM ?
[16:04] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Flashme.
[16:04] <negroxxx> ubotu.. valeu
[16:04] <Mr_Sonoma> BetaTest, yes Whyvas has a good question, there are several IRC chat platforms avail for linux in the repos, such as xchat, kvirc, konversation and many others
[16:04] <Pici> LimCore: If you have an issue with a way that a specific bug was filed, please ask in #ubuntu-bugs, not here.
[16:04] <turbocueca> tho1, it threw many lines, but most are network is down, and a No DHCPOFFERS received
[16:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about valeu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:04] <astro76> !devilspie | GarulfoUnix
[16:04] <ubotu> GarulfoUnix: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning.  Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie
[16:05] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You have to create a new 4GiB FAT32 partition and mount it.
[16:05] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please instruct me on this
[16:05] <GarulfoUnix> astro76, thanks a lot
[16:05] <{Nathan}> Retro`: Are you in a live CD?
[16:05] <tho1> turbocueca now that's a different story. Then it is seeing the eth1, but can't get an ip and shuts it down.
[16:05] <tamgo> {Nathan} can't he used gparted or some other simple-to-use graphical utility for that?
[16:05] <jaggy> brobostigon ill try it to :p
[16:05] <BetaTest> I'm on X-Chat now, but problem is that I have about 12,000 lines worth of scripts, which I'd like to be able to use
[16:06] <larson9999> since miro, ubuntu and sun java can't seem to play nice, what's a miro replacement?
[16:06] <Retro`> {Nathan}, no, i have Ubuntu 7.10 installed on the harddrive
[16:06] <tho1> turbocueca in iwconfig, does it say 'no wireless extensions' next to eth1?
[16:06] <tamgo> Really stupid question: I want to show a directory listing on my apache web server. I have installed it, running fine. I added a symlink of the directory I want to display on /var/www, restarted the server, but that didn't seem to work. How do I add a directory?
[16:06] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You can't do this without repartitioning, which means you need to be in a live CD enviornment.
[16:06] <BetaTest> And not even that, but I don't want that happening to every program that I open
[16:06] <turbocueca> tho1, nope
[16:06] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Make sure that's the right directory. That should work though.
[16:06] <Retro`> {Nathan}, is there any way around that?
[16:06] <{Nathan}> Retro`: No. That's why I've said this twice.
[16:07] <Retro`> {Nathan}, how can i make an unallocated space?
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You delete things.
[16:07] <Whyvas> Retro`,  are you trying to install ubuntu?
[16:07] <tho1> turbocueca if you type 'dhclient eth1' does it appear to try to get a dhcp lease
[16:07] <tamgo> {Nathan} I did verify the directory, and restarted the server, not working for some reason.
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Then you resize a partition, Retro`
[16:07] <gaurav_> i have told wine C: is now pointing to a new drive, but when i go to "Wine > Browse C:\ Drive" it takes me to the old C:, how do i tell it to use the other directory?
[16:07] <Retro`> {Nathan}, i have plenty of unused space of my 130 GB drive
[16:07] <{Nathan}> tamgo: You shouldn't have to restart either... does it work witha normal directory (not a symlink)
[16:07] <{Nathan}> Retro`:  [11:07] < {Nathan}> Then you resize a partition, Retro`
[16:08] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please tell me exactly ho to do that with gparted
[16:08] <turbocueca> tho1, my card never blinks
[16:08] <Retro`> {Nathan}, please consider that i am a noob
[16:08] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I am. But you have to read what I say, and it gets very annoying when you don't.
[16:08] <Whyvas> Retro`, what are you trying to do?
[16:08] <tamgo> {Nathan} I actually put in a symlink! Does it have to be a physical directory? In which case wouldn't a hard link work?
[16:08] <jaggy> anyone knows a nice texteditor whit ide's for c++ c and java coding ?
[16:08] <tho1> turbocueca if you type that in a terminal you should see a number of dhcp lines as it requests an address. Is the light on the card ever on?
[16:08] <x_zeuss> hi, i have really big ubuntu problem pls help
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, never
[16:09] <x_zeuss> firefox doesn't start at all
[16:09] <Retro`> {Nathan},  i have read i have to resize the partition... how exactly should i do that?
[16:09] <{Nathan}> tamgo: I use symlinks to my music directory (don't tell the RIAA...) all the time. I don't know why it's not working for you.
[16:09] <Whyvas> jaggy, go download and install automatix
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, only the power
[16:09] <x_zeuss> and sometimes the computer just logs out
[16:09] <BetaTest> So is there a way to actually see the program that's running in the background?
[16:09] <Whyvas> check it out, pretty awesome.
[16:09] <astro76> !automatix | Whyvas jaggy
[16:09] <ubotu> Whyvas jaggy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, no working leases
[16:09] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You right click on the partition from gparted in a live CD enviornment and hit resize. I'm not your babysitter, you can figure this out.
[16:09] <turbocueca> tho1, btw,, what is SIOCSIFFLAGS?
[16:09] <hanasaki> what will generate my tls certs for exim?
[16:09] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I figured this out when I was 11.
[16:10] <turbocueca> tho1, seems it can't find that file
[16:10] <tamgo> {Nathan}: make sense. So just to make sure we are on the same page. Go to /var/www, make a symlink to the directory you want to publsih. and voila! open a browser to localhost (or your server) and you should see the directory?
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, why do i need to be in the Live CD environment?
[16:10] <WorkingOnWis1> im installing Ubuntu fresh on my laptop, and am looking to get the best battery life. that file system is best in that respect?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> x3roconf: So firefox doesn't start at all? Nothing happens?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> Retro`: You just do.
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, even if my Ubuntu is on the harddrive?
[16:10] <tho1> turbocueca one at a time....no working leases...did you see a DHCPREQUEST?
[16:10] <{Nathan}> tamgo: Yeah, that's what I've always done and it always works.
[16:10] <{Nathan}> Retro`: I've said this about 5 times now. YES.
[16:10] <Retro`> {Nathan}, okay
[16:10] <Cnerd> ARG
[16:11] <tamgo> {Nathan} uumm... must not be my day. Cool I'll try again. Thanks.
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I have a couple minutes before I leave...
[16:11] <Cnerd> how do i edit /etc/fstab??
[16:11] <{Nathan}> Retro`: It's because you are using data on your hard drive and it's not smart to move it when you are using it.
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help!
[16:11] <chuckf> Retro`, if you weren't new, there are other ways to do it. however it is easiest for you from the live cd
[16:11] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, I see DHCPDISCOVERs on 255.255.255.255, then no DHCPOFFERS received
[16:11] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: You open a text editor as root and open fstab
[16:11] <cybergig> o.o;
[16:11] <cybergig> bah...
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Enter recovery mode (with the hold button on, press down the voice recording button, and without letting go of it, press ON).  LEt me know if that works
[16:11] <turbocueca> tho1, it looks like the machine is commanding the card
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, it does not
[16:11] <tho1> turbocueca then the card is working ok and it is a config problem. Sounds like you might still have encryptiont turned on in the wifi router
[16:11] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have tried that 10 times
[16:12] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have tried that 10 times and nothing
[16:12] <Cnerd> ow do i logon as root?
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, weird
[16:12] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i think i messed up my bootloader and everything
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, I'll restart it
[16:12] <tho1> turbocueca does iwconfig show an essid?
[16:12] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: You do not need to login as root, just run "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[16:12] <WorkingOnWis1> Cnerd: dont. use sudo in a terminal or gksu from in gnome instead
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1, yes
[16:12] <{Nathan}> Cnerd: sudo temporarly sets you as the root user
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: So it looks like you erased the fat16 firmware partition instead of copying your firmware to the player and letting it self install
[16:12] <tho1> turbocueca and does it match the essid of the router?
[16:12] <turbocueca> tho1 yes
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the /dev/sda does not exist anymore
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me restore it
[16:13] <nickrud> !gksudo | {Nathan} Cnerd
[16:13] <ubotu> {Nathan} Cnerd: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Can I assume you are sure sda is your player?
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes, it was
[16:13] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, now it's dead
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Does gparted still show sda
[16:14] <{Nathan}> nickrud: Actually, I use fluxbox so I don't ever use any gnome apps... so I didn't know if it was gksu or gksudo :-p
[16:14] <Retro`> the player does not start
[16:14] <tho1> turbocueca the problem is not in the card (I think). You need to get the router to respond to the DHCPREQUEST. Nothing is going to happen until that does...you need an ip address
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, gparted does not show sda anymore
[16:14] <{Nathan}> Retro`: Does it have battery power?
[16:14] <nickrud> {Nathan}, gksu can be set to use either sudo or su , your choice ;)
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes it has battery power
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: THose are supposed to have tow partitions, one for the firmware and another for your music
[16:14] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, no sda whatsoever
[16:14] <turbocueca> tho1, the card works alright on xp(r)
[16:15] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have erased it all, by mistake that is
[16:15] <WorkingOnWis1> nickwhats the diff between su ans sudo? thought they were same.
[16:15] <Cnerd> how do i make a ir in terminal?
[16:15] <turbocueca> tho1 I'll restart the router cya in 5 minutes
[16:15] <Cnerd> mkdir xD
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I figured you would not have bricked it intentionally
[16:15] <tho1> turbocueca it looks like the card is working on ubuntu as well...the problem is in the communication between the card and the router
[16:15] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me create a /dev/sda mountpoint
[16:15] <{Nathan}> WorkingOnWis1: su is actualy "switch user" eg "su bob". Sudo always takes you to root, and for only one command.
[16:15] <nickrud> {Nathan}, it's not about gnome, the main thing is sudo <app> uses your home as home, so if you save prefs they'll be saved as root owned, and no longer changeable by your normal user. gksudo will use /root
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Do you have any idea how big the firmware partition was?
[16:16] <brobostigon> Retro`: mkdir inside /media
[16:16] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, I've had many times problems about that communication on windows too
[16:16] <tamgo> {Nathan}: I tried creating a physical directory and copying a file. I am getting the listing, but when I try to access it, I get a forbidden error. I am only going to use this inside my lan, so I really don't care all that much about security. How do I just give anonymous free access to all resources?
[16:16] <wraund> atm it complains error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[16:16] <MrDinkles> Is flashplayer still down or is it working and the topic wasnt updated?
[16:16] <Cnerd> :'(
[16:16] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the firmware partition was... i can't remember, sorry
[16:16] <wraund> a game i have needs some 32bit sound libraries but i am on 64bit, for example the 32bit of libopenal.so.0:
[16:16] <{Nathan}> tamgo: chmod -R +r (directory)
[16:17] <WorkingOnWis1> {Nathan}: ah...ok. never actually used su. always been on a single user machine. thanks
[16:17] <tamgo> {Nathan} of course
[16:17] <tho1> turbocueca might need to investigate the router further...but I couldn't help with that as I don't know your router. If you have problems with windows as well then definitely you need to get that working correctly
[16:17] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please help me create a /dev/sda mountpoint with gparted
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: TO enter recovery mode you are starting with the unit OFF is that correct?
[16:17] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, correct
[16:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, but the blue wheel is glowing
[16:18] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the screen, however, is black
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I am trying to find the size of the original firmware partition.
[16:18] <WorkingOnWis1> does fat32 in linux still have the 4GB file size limit it has in Windows?
[16:18] <x3roconf> "{Nathan}> x3roconf: So firefox doesn't start at all? Nothing happens?" nathan wtf? i said no such thing lol
[16:18] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, that's a filesystem limit, not os limit, so yes
[16:19] <LimCore> can any one with open office  download my tiny .odt  and confirm my bug report?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/179230
[16:19] <{Nathan}> x3roconf: wrong person, sorry
[16:19] <x3roconf> ok
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: It looks like the firmware partition is 16 megs..
[16:19] <cybergig> Ack...
[16:19] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i think i'll have to enter the Manufacturing Mode
[16:19] <cybergig> The header, with the litter X button to close/move programs have disapeared.
[16:19] <cybergig> What do I do
[16:20] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, oh yes, it was something like 16 MB and something
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Ok.  and gparted does see it?
[16:20] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: grrrrr..... Been trying to backup my home folder and kept geting "File too big" nonsense from Nautilus..with a 10GB file when 4GB had been copied!
[16:20] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, no
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: as sda that is.. (and be very sure about that)
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: gparted does not see it at all now?
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i have erased the sda mountpoint completely
[16:21] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, time to turn that fat to an ext3 then
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, it is NOT seen
[16:21] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, we must recreate it
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I dont care about the mount point...  looking to see if gparted sees the drive as in all unallocated
[16:21] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: Is ntfs read/write pretty stable now? I need to keep my usb hard drive Windows readable too..

[16:22] <chuckf> WorkingOnWis1, yes, it is pretty stable
[16:22] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud:  I dont need acls , compression, or encryption...
[16:22] <BetaTest> There's no sound when I play WMV files, but it shows the image. What should I download?
[16:22] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the only mountpoint i have is /dev/hda   there's no unallocated space because the space of sda is gone
[16:22] <{Nathan}> VMware just messed up my screen resolution. How can I use xrandr to set it back to 1024x768
[16:22] <soldats> BetaTest, use synaptic and make sure you  have all the audio codecs
[16:22] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: are you copying the home folder from ext3 to a fat32 pendrive?
[16:23] <WorkingOnWis1> is there a driver I can install in windows to allow read/write access to an ext2 or 3 partition?
[16:23] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, I finally started using ntfs for writing with this release, I'm a fraidy cat with data
[16:23] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: to a usb hard drive, 80GB
[16:23] <BetaTest> Is Synaptic already installed, or do I need to Google for it?
[16:23] <soldats> BetaTest, synaptic is a package menager
[16:23] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll try to reboot my computer if that would make any difference
[16:24] <nickrud> WorkingOnWis1, yes, I use explore2fs to read ext2/3 not write though
[16:24] <soldats> look in apps > system > synaptic
[16:24] <BetaTest> Ah, ok
[16:24] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: that's not much of a backup. make a split zip/tar.gz file
[16:24] <astro76> !synaptic | BetaTest, that's system > admin > synaptic
[16:24] <tho1> turbocueca ok. in the terminal when you type 'dhclient eth1' you should see an exchange between the router and ubuntu...a DHCPDISCOVER followed by  a DHCPOFFER...do you see those first two steps?
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Ok,, not sure it will help, but at this poing cant hurt
[16:24] <WorkingOnWis1> nickrud: me too...no matter what happens, apps can be installed way easier than data can be recovered
[16:24] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, brb... please wait for me
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: There are some windows tools that may be able to restore your brick
[16:24] <sirbijan> hello all
[16:25] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: i dont follow u....i'm backing up /home to my usb har drive.
[16:25] <sirbijan> how can I remove the volumes shown on my desktop?
[16:25] <sirbijan> i don't like a busy desktop
[16:25] <WorkingOnWis1> hard
[16:25] <turbocueca> tho1, there are no DHCPOFFERs next to DHCPDISCOVERs
[16:26] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: of you're doing it with a simple copy you're losing a lot of data like file permissions and attributes in the process
[16:26] <brobostigon> sirbijan: volumes are shown on youre desktop when they are mounted, if you dont want any, do mount anything
[16:26] <turbocueca> tho1, want to see all the output?
[16:26] <brobostigon> dont mount anything
[16:26] <tho1> turbocueca then the wireless card and ubuntu are doing all they can. you need to investigate the router...is the router close? Are you sure the signal is reaching it?
[16:26] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: I suggest you create a compresses archive of some kind on the zip drive instead
[16:26] <BetaTest> What am I looking for in Synaptic?o.O
[16:26] <sirbijan> brobostigon: it should be a way not to show'em buddy! I remember it's in "gconf-editor", but don't remember where
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, it always reaches here...
[16:27] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: (actually it doesn't have to be compressed, just an archive...)
[16:27] <brobostigon> sirbijan: no idea, sorry.
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, should the card blink even without signal?
[16:27] <sirbijan> i want'em not on my desktop, and mounted, and I did it b4, just don't remember how
[16:27] <sirbijan> welcome brobostigon
[16:27] <turbocueca> tho1, while trying to connect.
[16:27] <astro76> BetaTest, as a start, install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but you will also probably need w32codecs which you can get from medibuntu
[16:27] <astro76> !medibuntu | BetaTest
[16:27] <ubotu> BetaTest: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[16:27] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: true.. if i were going from a ext3 to ext3 would the permissimos be preserved?
[16:28] <Geck1> random question: does anyone know how to set a picture as a signature in windows live hotmail?
[16:28] <tho1> turbocueca can't count on the card 'blinking' one way or the other...the dhcp packets will be so quick that they might not show up
[16:28] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: yes.
[16:28] <KJHJKH> HI everyone I am a new user to linux and am currently runnung Ubuntu....  I just installed it and just booted it up for the first time... but I dont know how to get to the GUI part can anyone help me?
[16:29] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: arg...how soon before u think Windows will use ext3 nativly   :D
[16:29] <Odd-rationale> Task: What do you see right now?
[16:29] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, probably want to use cp -a
[16:29] <Task> looks like dos prompt
[16:29] <tho1> turbocueca My next step would be to fire up wireshark on the computer you do have on the network and see if I could spot the packets going from ubuntu to the router...but that is a techie thing <smile>
[16:29] <Task> I logged in
[16:29] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm back
[16:29] <turbocueca> tho1, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49982/
[16:29] <soldats> Task, type startx
[16:29] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, hah never, but you can install a driver to read/write ext2/3 from windows
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Im still here
[16:29] <Odd-rationale> Task: Try "init 3"
[16:29] <ifireball> WorkingOnWis1: right before they release the new winfs ;)
[16:29] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, you were right... nothing changed
[16:29] <turbocueca> tho1, wireshark?
[16:30] <Task> hmmm fatal error....   "No valid frontpath could be found
[16:30] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: write ext3 in win? whats it called? the one i found is read only...
[16:30] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, please tell me how can i create a /dev/sda mountpoint
[16:30] <astro76> WorkingOnWis1, http://www.fs-driver.org/
[16:30] <Odd-rationale> Task: How did you install your Ubuntu?
[16:30] <nickrud> Odd-rationale, that's not the way it works in ubuntu, runlevels 2 & 3 both start gdm ....
[16:30] <tho1> turbocueca packet sniffer
[16:30] <WorkingOnWis1> ifireball: hahahaha....winfs....they had a great thing with ntfs, but as usual, they gotta screw it up too...
[16:31] <Task> OFf a cd   I was having trouble before with the regular one... so I used the text only one
[16:31] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, the sad thing is that my mp3 player is dead
[16:31] <WorkingOnWis1> astro76: ty
[16:31] <Task> I burned it slow at 8x
[16:31] <Odd-rationale> nickrud: OK
[16:31] <Geck1> random question: does anyone know how to set a picture as a signature in windows live hotmail?
[16:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I would borrow a windows macnine and use the sandisk recovery tool..  http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1532
[16:31] <Odd-rationale> Task: Did you install a command line system?
[16:31] <Task> hrmm
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I would NOT try to run it under wine
[16:32] <Task> I had a lil trouble with LILO or Grub
[16:32] <Task> It was havin some trouble... maybe I should try to reinstall lilo?
[16:32] <WorkingOnWis1> Jack_Sparrow: i have never done it in Linux, but could Retro recover the partition with some forensics data tools? As long as he stops trying other sure-to-fail methods?
[16:32] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i will visit my friend and try to fix my bricked mp3 player
[16:32] <biola> You guys have andu idea how im supposed to install a dual-cd-distro in vmware?
[16:33] <biola> any*
[16:33] <WorkingOnWis1> Jack_Sparrow: have done it on DOS/Windows many times successfully
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: NO good answer to formatting the wrong partition.
[16:33] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, will the recovery tool restore the bootloader as well?
[16:33] <BetaTest> Hey astro76, do you mind if I PM you?
[16:33] <astro76> biola, it should work fine, but try asking in #vmware
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: They seem to have a wide variety of tools on their site.  I would think a windows fat recovery tool would fix the problem
[16:34] <astro76> BetaTest, please ask here :)
[16:34] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> np good luck
[16:34] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm off to my friend's house now... he has Windows XP
[16:34] <BetaTest> astro76 I've got no idea what I'm doing here with Sanyptic :/
[16:34] <Cnerd> how do i uninstall ubuntu
[16:34] <astro76> BetaTest, your problem is you can't view/hear .wmv properly?
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Cnerd: INstall whatever os you want over the top or just format the partition
[16:35] <nickrud> Cnerd, boot windows, and reformat the partition you gave to ubuntu as ntfs . Done
[16:35] <tho1> turbocueca I am not sure where to go from here. It seems that ubuntu is doing what it is supposed to do...the problem is in the link between ubuntu and the router. I would verify that the dhcp is turned on in the router, the encryption is turned off, the essid matches what is in ubuntu, and might setting the router (and ubuntu) to another channel. But those are all just guesses.
[16:35] <BetaTest> Yeah, I can view, but not hear
[16:35] <nickrud> Cnerd, you'll want to run   fdisk /mbr as well
[16:35] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, after the tool will be installed in his machine... what conbination of buttons would i have to press/hold on my mp3 player?
[16:35] <{Nathan}> When I hit ctrl+alt+F1-F6, I have no TTYs -- they are all just a blinking cursor. How can I get them back?
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: Depends on what tools he has available... start with a flash drive recovery tool
[16:36] <astro76> BetaTest, so first just hit Search, search for ubuntu-restricted-extras, check that, then Apply to install
[16:36] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, okay
[16:36] <uzerzero> Has anybody had any luck getting the Broadcom BCM4310/12 wireless chipset working under Gutsy?
[16:36] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, will do

[16:37] <chuckf> are you at the latest firmware
[16:37] <soldats> {Nathan}, gimmie a sec
[16:37] <uzerzero> erUSL: i've already been through the guide with no luck. neither ndiswrapper or the bcm43xx firmware works
[16:37] <BetaTest> And what do I do after that?
[16:37] <BetaTest> Or is that it/
[16:37] <turbocueca> tho1, and a linksys pcmcia
[16:37] <astro76> BetaTest, after it install, see if your video works
[16:37] <BetaTest> Ok
[16:38] <nickrud> erUSUL, if a non authed ubotu user does that, will it put it in an approval queue ?
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: You still here?
[16:38] <tho1> chuckf we can see the dhcp request leaving ubuntu, but there is no response from the router
[16:38] <BetaTest> If it doesn't, I'll be back here annyoing you
[16:38] <erUSUL> nickrud: does what?
[16:38] <BetaTest> Thanks
[16:38] <nickrud> erUSUL, echo a command at ubotu ?
[16:38] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[16:38] <chuckf> tho1, that's why I'm asking abotu the router firmware. I've had three probs in the last month that that fixed
[16:38] <chuckf> with dhcp issues
[16:39] <soldats> {Nathan}, try tooking in /etc/event.d and look for commented out lines for tty
[16:39] <Terrasqu1> Jack_Sparrow: what's a pirate like you doing in a place like this?
[16:39] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i just called my friend... he is home and willing to help me
[16:39] <astro76> nickrud, no, !trigger | ubotu does nothing special
[16:39] <tho1> chuckf right...I agree...I was to the point of suspecting the router...especiallyh after he mentioned he also had some issues in windows
[16:39] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, got any tip for me?
[16:39] <nickrud> Terrasqu1, ah you know jack, he's one of those 'good hearted' pirates
[16:39] <Superworms> can ubuntu be started with less than 200 mb of ram
[16:39] <Geck1> anyone that can help me with the hotmail question?
[16:39] <SimpleAnecdote> hiya peeps :D I got this weird thing.. I'm a total newbie on linux and ubuntu so take it easy on me.. but the thing is that I installed apache and it works but there is not apache2.conf file...
[16:40] <erUSUL> nickrud: aouch!!! tab completion mistake... (and i dunno what the consequences are)
[16:40] <Geck1> how can I set up a picture as my email signature?
[16:40] <Terrasqu1> nickrud: only steals from those that have something to steal? :)

[16:40] <zenrium> simpleanedote: perhaps /etc/apache.conf ??  or just apache.conf ?
[16:40] <Abyssal> hi. i have got a dual boot ubuntu, where windows was installed before and linux ubuntu got installed now. i automatically made a dual boot. how can i get rid of that dual boot and how can i partitionate and format the whole windows harddrive? please help!
[16:40] <turbocueca> tho1, I will connect the laptop by wire and do all the updates it wants
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: I will wait long enough for you to read it
[16:40] <nickrud> astro76, thanks
[16:41] <tho1> turbocueca you might consider also updating the software in the router.
[16:41] <SimpleAnecdote> I go to the apache2 folder on fileSystem/var/www/apache2-default
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: you want to get windows off your machine?
[16:41] <SimpleAnecdote> and there is no apache2.conf
[16:41] <turbocueca> tho1, yes, but the strange is that I know this works
[16:42] <Abyssal> odd-rationale: yes.
[16:42] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, it's in /etc/apache2 , and be sure to look over *-available and *-enabled in that dir
[16:42] <turbocueca> tho1, first time with wireless on linux
[16:42] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: And just have ubuntu?
[16:42] <SimpleAnecdote> nickrud: sorry to be so newbish.. what do you mean by etc? like a drive?
[16:42] <turbocueca> tho1, the laptop is from my father, and so it never had linux
[16:43] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, no, that's the global config dir ,  /etc   (like /var/www is the apache html root)
[16:43] <zenrium> simple : /etc is a directory on your harddrive

[16:45] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: You can probably use gparted liveCD to delete the windows partition then expand the linux partition to fill up the free space. Then reinstall GRUB.
[16:45] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, would my device be recognised as i plug it in in my friends' Windows computer?

[16:46] <sean> ill check it out thanks
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll try the Windows methods instead
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'm off to my friend
[16:46] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: turbocueca I havent followed all of your thread, but have u tried rebooting the router, unpluggung power for a minute? I have had lease problems with my wrt router and that fixed it. I think it clears all the caches, which can get corrupted. I know, it sound so "Windows-ish" but it worked for me....
[16:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Retro`: BEst of luck with any and all methods..
[16:46] <nickrud> !sudo | SimpleAnecdote
[16:46] <ubotu> SimpleAnecdote: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[16:46] <Abyssal> ok. did you get what i mean. windows installed before. now linux ubuntu. but it made automatically dual boot and let windows live. but now i want windows to be deleted and also out of the boot options.
[16:46] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, i'll came back and report what happened
[16:47] <Retro`> Jack_Sparrow, see ya ;)   bye now
[16:47] <brainbug> hello and good evening everyone, i've just got simple question: i set up my wireless network and wired network , but when i go to /etc/network/interfaces i find at some line of my (ath0 wireless) my key, is there any way i can delete it there and i get a prompt where i can type this or any other way so its not listed in the file?
[16:47] <syarif> tes
[16:47] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, if you want to edit those files directly, you would run, for example,  gksudo gedit /var/www/<file>
[16:47] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. I understood what you meant. BTW good choice!
[16:47] <SimpleAnecdote> nickrud: I know what sudo is, thanks though, it's always good to get some more reference... but what does that sudo command do? how does apache know to treat that new folder as server?
[16:47] <syarif> hello, i just wanna say hello from indonesia's ubuntuers
[16:48] <Abyssal> i tried suse some years ago. it lacked of free support. but ubuntu gives a good solution with the community support.
[16:48] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, if you run a2enmod userdir , it will add the apache directives to the http.conf that allows you to use that folder
[16:48] <ploom> Abyssal, kudos! Wasrte of license maybe, but who cares!
[16:48] <wraund> how would i go about getting  libopenal.so.0 for 32bit machines on a 64bit computer
[16:48] <tho1> WorkingOnWis1 yes...we have restarted the router.
[16:49] <tho1> WorkingOnWis1 I have run out of ideas <smile>
[16:49] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: k. sometimes we overlook the simplest things...
[16:49] <Abyssal> ploom: kudos?
[16:49] <SimpleAnecdote> nicrud: thank you very much! I will investigate further and only then bother you some more.. for now though I am happy :D thank you thank you thank you! if you ever need help with php I'm on ##phpfreaks (I don't mean to advertise other channels.. just grateful)
[16:49] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: is there another router to try?
[16:49] <Oli``> Anyone else here use Xine (the media player; and not GXine, etc)? I'm trying to make it as minimalistic as possible and would like to be able to drag the window with the left mouse button (anywhere on the video).. Any ideas?
[16:50] <syarif> anyone know other room?
[16:50] <nickrud> SimpleAnecdote, and the sudo command simply lets you work as root temporarily. Much safer than a root term, you're much less likely to run a system damaging command if you have to conciously use sudo to run commands on the system
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> truer words never said
[16:50] <WorkingOnWis1> tho1: or a direct connection, getting the router out of the way totally, to be sure it is the router and not the pc?
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> gonna log off my root now
[16:50] <astro76> Oli``, you can alt+click anywhere on any window to move it
[16:50] <ploom> Oli``,  have you tried holding alt key (or meta or whatever) while dragging any window?
[16:50] <SimpleAnecdote> thank you and see you later :D thanks for helping a newbie..
[16:51] <Oli``> yeah alt works... I'm just lazy, that's all =)
[16:51] <ifireball> nickrud: do you know what "sudoedit" does?
[16:51] <jameswf-home> anyone too stupid to operate in root deserves whatever happens to em
[16:51] <jameswf-home> login as root and have a blast
[16:51] <nickrud> ifireball, see -e option in man sudo
[16:51] <hanasaki> any can you give me a short script.. bash? that will run the same command line for 5 minutes...

[16:52] <jameswf-home> what command
[16:52] <Oli``> Task have you check that the file you downloaded is not corrupt?
[16:52] <ifireball> nickrud: just checking, since I find "sudo mano", etc. to be bad style
[16:52] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK I con't find the howto.
[16:52] <Task> yeah  seems fine... I did the disc check too
[16:52] <ksivaji> how to access linux partition form windows ?
[16:53] <pulaski> hello, I'm running ubuntu 7.04 server and my last apt-get update/upgrade ended in a dpkg dependency error after trying to configure an upgrade to MySql-server-5.0.  Has anyone else had this experience?  "dpkg --configure -a" results in the same error.
[16:53] <LjL> !ext3 > ksivaji    (ksivaji, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:53] <jameswf-home> install win32 ext driver
[16:53] <nickrud> ifireball, to be honest, I'd never heard of sudoedit till just now, I think you are right about sudoedit being a better choice
[16:54] <Oli``> Task: has the media been good for other stuff?
[16:54] <ksivaji> LjL thanks
[16:54] <syarif> hello, i want to register, but i don't know how
[16:54] <syarif> anyone can help me
[16:54] <syarif> ?
[16:54] <ifireball> nickrud: we agree. good. :)
[16:54] <corporal_clegg> helloggs, could someone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4028660
[16:54] <corporal_clegg> sorry helloggs...
[16:54] <Abyssal> ploom: thx :-)
[16:55] <ksivaji> syarif  want to register what where ?
[16:55] <Abyssal> odd-rationale: so how to proceed?
[16:55] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do have a ubuntu live cd?
[16:55] <nickrud> ifireball, problem is, most new users really want that gui editor, is VISUAL an X preferred app?
[16:55] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: yes
[16:55] <syarif> umm... i don't really sure, i want to have private chat, but then it's warn me to register first
[16:56] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Which one? 7.10?
[16:56] <LjL> !register > syarif    (syarif, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:56] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: yes. the newest release
[16:56] <Terrasqu1> LjL: can ubotu send pm to one that aint regged?
[16:56] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: 7.10
[16:57] <LjL> Terrasqu1: a registered user can PM an unregistered user.
[16:57] <Terrasqu1> LjL: ok :)
[16:57] <ifireball> nickrud: "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /etc/passwd"
[16:57] <Blistok> Anybody know what would cause FTP to be really slow over a small LAN? Ping time is 1ms, but it takes like 15 seconds to upload a 5k file
[16:57] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK First of all, you want to back up your home directory. although you *shouldn't* lose any data, we just want to make sure. messing around with partitions can be dangerous.
[16:57] <nickrud> ifireball, problem with that is once again, if someone saves gedit prefs under sudo , it will write to .gconf as root
[16:58] <horzee> anyone know why none of my virtual terminals have ANY logins, but getty is running on all 6?
[16:58] <ifireball> nickrud: no it won't since the gedit runs as the normal user
[16:58] <lukasz_> Hey People
[16:58] <BetaTest> astro76, that didn't help:/
[16:58] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so shall i copy the home directory to a safe place?
[16:58] <nickrud> ifireball, not when it's privs are escalated by sudo, that's why gksudo is constantly mentioned here
[16:59] <Terrasqu1> Blistok: firewall? bad link?
[16:59] <lukasz_> I installed ati as binary and I dunno how I can get the ati control panel there
[16:59] <ifireball> nickrud: read up what sudoedit does _exactly_.
[16:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. another hard drive or other removable drive preferably.
[16:59] <Blistok> Terrasqul: I'm just using a cheap linksys router, no idea how to check that stuff... ah well, guess I'll live with it, not a huge deal
[16:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Also back up any other data you would like to keep.
[17:00]  * nickrud goes off to play with sudoedit
[17:00] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok... wait. i says that i have not the appropriate legitimation to copy home to another external harddrive
[17:00] <lukasz_> Ati displays now in flgrxinfo but no control panel :(
[17:00] <horzee> anyone know why none of my virtual terminals have ANY logins, but getty is running on all 6? also, X runs fine, have it set to start 2 sessions, one on vt 7, one on vt9.
[17:01] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do alt+f2 then "gksudo nautilus" Then copy the home directory.
[17:01] <Task> can any settings in BIOS mess up the installation?
[17:01] <Whyvas> Abyssal, or install automatix then install the nautilus scripts....
[17:02] <lukasz_> I think I know how brb
[17:02] <ifireball> nickrud: the reason you find yourself having to use gksudo is because "normal" sudo doesn't pass DISPLAY to the calling up, nor does it solve the X-auto-cookie mumbo jumbo
[17:02] <ifireball> nickrud: e.g. called app*.
[17:02] <pulaski> My last ubuntu server 7.04 update ended with a MySql dependency error.  Can I safely proceed with upgrading to ubuntu server 7.10?
[17:03] <Edil> Hello I'm new here (I'm new even with IRC) I need help installing Ubuntu.
[17:03] <lukasz_> I will need to reboot brb
[17:03] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: still the same: Fehler »Vorgang nicht erlaubt« beim Kopieren von »/home/nam...en-GB.soe«
[17:04] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Do you have read/write permissions to your external hdd?
[17:05] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: as root in the file browser nautilus there are no other drives available.
[17:05] <pulaski> edil, google "install ubuntu" and look at any likely results.
[17:05] <nickrud> ifireball, as well as setting the root dir as home unlike sudo. That's been one of the major issues
[17:05] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Go to /media/
[17:05] <Drixx> how do i install JRE java ?
[17:05] <BetaTest> I can't hear the audio for WMV files, and installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, but that didn't help
[17:06] <Edil> Ubuntu installation is not booting. Is there any particular information that I need to know with Ubuntu and a Radeon X850 pro
[17:06] <Edil> The computer boots but the screen remains blank
[17:06] <ifireball> nickrud: well, don't you agree sudoedit is a neater solution in most cases?
[17:06] <nickrud> ifireball, which sudoedit deals with also
[17:06] <syarif> d
[17:07] <ifireball> nickrud: the selling point I believe is that noting actually runs as root
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, I do like sudoedit so far
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, yes
[17:07] <Drixx> frostwire ain't workin .... it says i don't hav the valid Jre java ... from where do i install it ??
[17:07] <ifireball> nickrud: I wonder if that piece of information can find its way to the /topic
[17:07] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: frostwire ain't workin .... it says i don't hav the valid Jre java ... how do i install it ??
[17:07] <nickrud> ifireball, it could easily be the overwhelming selling pint
[17:07] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: hey supp dude ?
[17:08] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: ? are you talking to me?
[17:08] <lukasz_> I installed apt-get install fglrx-control and its not in applications anywhere
[17:08] <Drixx> Odd-rationale : yes dude ...
[17:08] <wols_> lukasz_: dpkg -L  fglrx-control |grep bin
[17:08] <larson9999> did i miss the memo?  cd's don't mount to /media/cdrom anymore?  looks like they're mounting to /media/(volume id)
[17:08] <lukasz_> thnx
[17:09] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: the same. not possible to do a copy.
[17:09] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: how can i install java JRE ??
[17:09] <Odd-rationale> !java
[17:09] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[17:09] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: let us forget about the security.
[17:09] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: coz frostwire ain't workin
[17:09] <Edil> Is there any other interactive forum where newbies can ask questions? I already google for a solution but didn't find anything
[17:10] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK First. Are you willing to do a reinstall of ubuntu. or would you rather keep your current install. (hint: the second is more complicated)
[17:10] <BetaTest> So can anyone help me?
[17:10] <lukasz_> do I need to restart after that?
[17:10] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:11] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: the second option would be fine.
[17:11] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: thnx dude
[17:11] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: can i just delete my windows harddrive and partitionate it with ext3 or so...
[17:11] <lukasz_> I will try and see :)
[17:11] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK fire up the livecd. Then open gparted.
[17:12] <syarif> anyone have a chat with indonesian?
[17:12] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: can i also install gparted on my ubuntu harddrive system and run it from there?
[17:12] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes. you delete your windows partition and then *expand* your linux part. to fill up the empty space.
[17:13] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. you can't be using the partition you are working on.
[17:13] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so i can install gparted here with the installer/uninstaller without having to run the live CD?
[17:14] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. you need to not be running off your hard drive.
[17:14] <nickrud> ifireball, you should talk to the people in -ops about it
[17:15] <lukasz_> I did exactly what you said and the control panel isn't there :(
[17:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: so i installed gparted on my harddrive now. can i run it from there and delete the microsoft harddrive?
[17:15] <hanasaki> thunderbird wont connect to my server when i use the host smtp but it does when i use smtp.mydomain.com      both "smtp' and the fqdn resolve to the same IP... any idea what is going on?
[17:15] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No. You need the liveCD.
[17:15] <syarif> wayya...
[17:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: FYI: i got 2 harddrives. 1 for ubuntu and 1 for windows.
[17:16] <syarif> original windows?
[17:16] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Oh. I see. Not a partitioned hard drive?
[17:16] <ifireball> nickrud: will do, can I make a !sudoedit for ubotu or does one need a special permission for that?
[17:17] <cybergig_> Question: When I use compiz and press X on anything the title bar goes away on all the applications and something crashes, I have to restart compiz to get it back. How do I solve this problem?
[17:17] <MrDinkles> Is there anyway to use gparted and create a partition without having to put it on a cd?
[17:17] <syarif> what "x" here?
[17:17] <syarif> you mean shut the window?
[17:17] <zenrium> cyber : so you are just loosing the title bars of windows?
[17:17] <cybergig_> x = close app button
[17:17] <cybergig_> yeah
[17:17] <nickrud> ifireball, gotta have perms for that now
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> MrDinkles i normalyly use a livecd that has parted tools allready on it. :) like the gparted live cd.
[17:18] <nickrud> ifireball, too many perverse adds back in the day
[17:18] <Abyssal> 2 partitioned hard drives. 1 for ubuntu and 1 for windows. so it could be possible to run gparted from here without the live cd cause the operating systems are on 2 different hard drives.
[17:18] <Abyssal> ??
[17:18] <lukasz_> hmm
[17:18] <Drixx> how do i run real media files on ubuntu
[17:18] <syarif> umm...maybe..just maybe...there something with ur vga card stting
[17:18] <ifireball> nickrud: I see, obtained by talking to -ops as well I guess?
[17:19] <MrDinkles> Dr_Willis: Im at work and noway to install it to a cd lol-- 8 hours here and i can't work on my dualboot!!!
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Abyssal with gpparted - the disk you are resizing/working on . Must NOT be mounted.  if you boot linux. you can resize the windows drive If its not mounted.
[17:19] <nickrud> Abyssal, the disk you're editing must be unmounted, that's the only requirement
[17:19] <nickrud> ifireball, yes
[17:19] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: possibly. You would have to unmount the windows drive first, though.
[17:19] <lukasz_> If I download from ati website and do this sh ati.run
[17:19] <lukasz_> The control panel works from there
[17:19] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok. it is. how to run gparted? where can i find it?
[17:19] <cybergig_> How do you mean, like compiz doesnt support my hardware fully?
[17:19] <lukasz_> but I think after that says missing xfree86-dri
[17:20] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: System -> adim
[17:21] <nickrud> ifireball, if you do that factoid, you should mention that adding VISUAL=gedit to .bashrc might be a nice thing
[17:21] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok. i see my soon former windows drive. :-) what to do next?
[17:21] <grout>  Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[17:22] <ifireball> nickrud: I prefer EDITOR, but yeah
[17:22] <cybergig_> Wait, now its not doing it... but if I close the terminal that I ran compiz in, it happens..
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> grout you been asking that since last night havent you?
[17:22] <grout> haha yes
[17:22] <nickrud> ifireball, did some testing, sudoedit will prefer visual, but will fall back on editor in a console.
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> grout you have done the obvious like check the doomsday homepage?
[17:23] <grout> someone gave me one last week but i lost it
[17:23] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: You can delete all the windows partitions and then create a new partition to fill the empty space.
[17:23] <grout> of couse i did
[17:23] <grout> they only have source
[17:23] <aoupi> hi, I installed pidgin-plugin-pack with the help of apt-source since it didn't include switchspell, but now update manager tries to install the version from the repos. How can I give my version(which has the same version number) higher priority?
[17:23] <nickrud> ifireball, so the people that prefer a gui for editing can get it if they set that variable
[17:24] <v507> hello
[17:24] <ifireball> nickrud: I see. so VISUAL for X, EDITOR for text?
[17:24] <v507> i need help again
[17:24] <v507> how to compile??
[17:24] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok 1. which file system can you recommend? reiser? ext2? ext3? ??? fat?    2.is the boot screen then clean after that procedure?
[17:24] <larson9999> this is starting to tee me off :)
[17:24] <PriceChild> v507, what are you thinking you need to compile?
[17:24] <Abyssal> 2. i mean no option any more to boot windows?
[17:24] <nickrud> ifireball, can work that way, yes
[17:24] <PriceChild> Abyssal, ext3
[17:25] <v507> the application is in tar.bz2
[17:25] <jamescarr> any idea why firefox would suddenly cause my system to hang badly???
[17:25] <v507> how to install it
[17:25] <PriceChild> v507, what application is it?
[17:25] <v507> i read some tutorial
[17:25] <PriceChild> jamescarr, flash?
[17:25] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: 1. What do you want to use the drive for. 2. Not yet. we will try to edit the boot.list
[17:25] <jamescarr> I mean, I have a dual core 2.1Ghz laptop with 2MB or ram
[17:25] <ifireball> nickrud: ok, well, I have EDITOR=vi; so you can see where my habits lay...
[17:25] <jamescarr> PriceChild, no... all I do is start firefox
[17:25] <jamescarr> it's locked up, and then it locks up gnome
[17:25] <lukasz_> Im gonna try something
[17:25] <jamescarr> and it takes FOREVER for me to get a console open to kill it
[17:26] <nickrud> ifireball, well, I have my bad points as well :)
[17:26] <MrPled> I was wondering if there is a site I can get drivers from for an ethernet PCMCIA card for ubuntu 7.10
[17:26] <v507> metalserve-0.4-svn250_17092006.tar.bz2
[17:26] <jamescarr> it loads with the icons all gone and crap
[17:26] <jamescarr> looks badly crippled
[17:26] <v507> pricechild metalserve-0.4-svn250_17092006.tar.bz2
[17:27] <lukasz_> hmm
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, do they not provide ".deb" packages?
[17:27] <v507> no
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, if not then right click and extract that archive
[17:27] <kikdadog> anybody free to help a noob
[17:27] <lukasz_> I dunno why it ain't working the fglrx-control
[17:27] <PriceChild> v507, then read the "INSTALL" file.
[17:27] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok i deleted the partition now. i want to use it to safe files there. it is sda (55.90 GB). sdb (37.27 GB) is where i installed ubuntu.
[17:27] <ifireball> nickrud: now don't you make me go religious...

[17:28] <nickrud> darn, that one shouldn't have been deleted
[17:28] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: ext3 should be fine.
[17:28] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone here got aircrack installed successfully
[17:28] <kikdadog> i downloaded a couple of debs for the new metacity, with composting
[17:28] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok.
[17:28] <kikdadog> thow do i change it back
[17:28] <nickrud> kikdadog, try  alt-f2  emerald --replace
[17:28] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Tell me when that's finished.
[17:29] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone here got aircrack installed successfully?, sudo make and make install return errors
[17:29] <kikdadog> i want to turn the composting off its a little buggy
[17:29] <v507> it said i need to type ./configure
[17:29] <kikdadog> ti used this command
[17:29] <kikdadog> gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true
[17:29] <stefko> Hello people, how to i set /timer hop #channel ?
[17:29] <stefko> on xchat
[17:29] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: why not FAT? :-) a lot of friends still use windows. isnt with ext3 the data exchange between them and me handicapped?
[17:29] <v507> but i can't do that in terminal
[17:30] <nickrud> kikdadog, my first guess would be same command, but false
[17:30] <kikdadog> tcan i change the last word to false to turn it off
[17:30] <kikdadog> t:)
[17:30] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: If you want to still share files with windows use fat or ntfs.
[17:30] <kikdadog> thanks
[17:30] <v507> it said  No such file or dire
[17:30] <lukasz_> i will be back
[17:30] <nickrud> kikdadog, where'd you get the metacity debs, anyway? I'm interested
[17:30] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: fat32 has a 4gb file size limit, however.
[17:31] <kikdadog> ijn the forums like page 4
[17:31] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: no i will use ext3. i got an external harddrive formattted in fAT 32.
[17:31] <v507> hello
[17:31] <jamescarr> firefox has become an undead monster that, upon startup and without loaidng a page, takes up so many resources it locks up my machine and forces a hard reboot
[17:31] <feierfox> will hary get this grade of stability what it makes "LTS" with the new 24er kernel?

[17:31] <jamescarr> what can I do to fix this>
[17:31] <jamescarr> ?
[17:31] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: shall i choose primary partition?
[17:31] <jamescarr> this is new and sudden
[17:31] <feierfox> 24 has the most changes in 6er history
[17:31] <kikdadog> it is a little buggy
[17:31] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Yes.
[17:31] <jamescarr> I didnt upgrade or anything
[17:31] <turbocueca> tho1, still there mate?
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr try a new usr, or  move teh firefox/mozilla dir to start with a clean setup of firefox. and see if it still does it.
[17:31] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Also make sure that the boot flag are not on.
[17:32] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: and then there is a mark at "AUF zylindergrosse runden"
[17:32] <kikdadog> imgonna try the false command

[17:33] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: It shouldn't be on by default. Just making sure.
[17:33] <kikdadog> hey nick the false thing worked
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Gimi ive heard of people wanting to do that. But never done it myself.
[17:34] <kikdadog> you find the debs yet

[17:34] <Volkodav> Is there a channel for 64 bit?
[17:34] <v507> hello
[17:34] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  there is another option i will try to translate. like "round to cycle headers size"?
[17:34] <nickrud> kikdadog, you can see many other gconftool switches you can play with in gconf-editor (run it with alt-f2)

[17:35] <kikdadog> thanks again
[17:35] <KlrSpz> ompaul: i got the masquerading stuff working, but i'm confused on a configuration choice i had to make if you could help me wrap my head around it
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> v507 normally you cd to the source dir and use the command  ./configure

[17:35] <kikdadog> later all thanks
[17:35] <KlrSpz> v507: don't repeat... but the answer is to open your terminal and navigate to the source folder and run it
[17:36] <Volkodav> is there an ftp install option?
[17:36] <v507> sorry... i allready run it and it said ; bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[17:36] <chef_> can anyone tell me how to fix? just installed ubuntu on a dual boot windows box from server disk then installed the x desktop... at the end of the desktop install I got a message that sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault and when I go to launch x using the startx command I get a server error & machine just goes back to the command line? please help
[17:36] <KlrSpz> Volkodav: yeah check synaptic or aptitude
[17:36] <acen> i have problem with my asdl connection and need somebody to help:-D
[17:36] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  creation of my new file system is advanceing. why was it neccessary to choose primary drive?
[17:37] <nickrud> v507, in that source dir, do ls  , if there is no configure file, then you really need to read INSTALL
[17:37] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: i was also able to choose extended drive.
[17:37] <aleka> What packages do I need (smb wise) to access a windows computer on the same network as my ubuntu?
[17:37] <lukasz_> alrigt its fine now
[17:37] <lukasz_> I installed the control panel from Ati official site
[17:37] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Primary should work.

[17:39] <nickrud> !minimal | Volkodav
[17:39] <ubotu> Volkodav: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[17:39] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:40] <Volkodav> right - instead of burning full CD ftp install CD are normally 30-40 mb
[17:40] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: where? in my terminal?
[17:40] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: alt+f2
[17:40] <Volkodav> as long as it detects the nic card right it is very convenient
[17:40] <chef_> can anyone tell me how to fix? just installed ubuntu on a dual boot windows box from server disk then installed the x desktop... at the end of the desktop install I got a message that sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault and when I go to launch x using the startx command I get a server error & machine just goes back to the command line? please help

[17:44] <nickrud> Volkodav, I'm very pleased on my 200m , suspend and aiglx. I haven't really tested speed, I'm only using it for compzi
[17:44] <cabrioleur> If not, maybe you have to run autogen first.
[17:44] <v507> i dont know
[17:44] <monra> hello. as i see from "lpstat -d" my default printer is deksjet but when i try lpr -P deskjet file.txt i get that there is no such file
[17:44] <v507> it said in readme file
[17:45] <cabrioleur> v507: what software again?
[17:45] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Put a # in front of the title, root, kernel, initrd, quiet, for the windows one only. You can leave the rest alone.
[17:45] <Volkodav> hmm - what about resolution though - I heard it has a bug that it will not go over 1280x1024

[17:46] <v507> yes
[17:47] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: i changed the timeout to 5. but i am not sure about the other lines.
[17:47] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Which ones?
[17:47] <nickrud> Volkodav, that is a great page for setting it up

[17:50] <Abyssal> makeactive
[17:50] <fotoflo> i have a new install of ubuntu server i am playing around with....
[17:51] <fotoflo> so i have some questions
[17:51] <fotoflo> (LAMP surver)
[17:51] <lukasz_> Im gonna try nquake :)
[17:51] <fotoflo> how do i get apache to stop telling the world about my architecture?
[17:51] <con-man> when I type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run" I get the message "sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run" any ideas?
[17:51] <nickrud> Task, hit enter
[17:52] <Task> nickrud : did just went down a line
[17:52] <nickrud> Task, no    Login:   ?
[17:52] <LjL> con-man: why are you trying to install the raw thing instead of just using the ubuntu package?
[17:52] <Task> no... I am installing right now....
[17:52] <con-man> o wait nvm
[17:52] <con-man> figured it ou
[17:52] <con-man> out
[17:52] <nickrud> Task, is this the live cd?
[17:52] <Task> YEah
[17:53] <Task> is it checking online right now or something?
[17:53] <con-man> ok sooooo I try to isntall that package and it says I can do it because I have X running
[17:53] <nickrud> Task, I hate to say this, but you should probably download the alternate cd and install from there. The live cd has issues on some machines
[17:53] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: ok it is in the pastebin.
[17:53] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: I told you to use the pastebin. You didn't listen to me. See what happens? ;)

[17:53] <Task> why didnt I just get that in the first place
[17:53]  * Task hits himself in the head
[17:54] <v507> hello
[17:54] <con-man> LjL I am installing that package because I cant get dual display to work with the restricted driver
[17:54] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  i did not know the pastebin.
[17:54] <cabrioleur> con-man, ubuntu goes crazy when you install nvidia-built drivers. First, change the runlevel to 3, or alt-ctrl-f1, loggin, kill gdm, and do it from there.
[17:54] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: just pm me then.
[17:54] <Task> ok well d/ling it now  thanks nickrud
[17:54] <LjL> con-man: have you tried nvidia-glx-new too?
[17:54] <nickrud> Task, I learned that lesson a few releases ago, but this time I stupidly got the live cd, and got lucky :)
[17:54] <v507> i have a problem after ./configure
[17:54] <Task> lol
[17:54] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: i did

[17:55] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: twice i sent a pm but you did not react. :-) so i posted here and got kicked.
[17:55] <Task> also... for some reason I think when I tried it out before... abotu a year ago.. it kept going out of my HZ range for my monitor... how do I adjust it?

[17:57] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49985/
[17:57] <KlrSpz> sorush20: actually, let me just hook you up with my script.. it's easier
[17:57] <MrDinkles>  Already have Gparted downloaded to my computer-- However, I want to install those files on a cd so i can create partitions on this hd...how is this done?
[17:57] <Task> Thanks nickrud
[17:57] <con-man> when I go to "screens and graphics" there is only 1 monitor on the list
[17:57] <Task> BBL when its done d/ling for more of your great service   :)
[17:57] <turbocueca> I used bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware from the bcmwl5.sys, it extracted some *.fw files. Where am I supposed to put them?
[17:57] <v507> how to autoconf???
[17:57] <cabrioleur> v507, type autoconf then ./configure, and make at the end.
[17:57] <Sammy88> Hi there, I have some problems with the suspend and the hibernate mode. Is there a somebody who knows much about that topic? I tried several things...
[17:58] <v507> ok
[17:58] <v507> iĺl try it
[17:58] <con-man> LjL shouldnt there be two listed because I have two monitors hooked up?
[17:58] <KlrSpz> sorush20: http://pastebin.org/13362
[17:58] <carnage__> Hy I have a problem when i watch video after aprox. 10 min the screen blanks out.What should i do?
[17:58] <KlrSpz> sorush20: there ya go!, just change the interface names if they differ
[17:58] <LjL> con-man: don't really know, never tried such a setup
[17:58] <LjL> !dualhead > con-man    (con-man, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:58] <con-man> ok
[17:58] <KlrSpz> carnage__: tell the movie player to handl ethe screensaver properly in the options somewhere.. which app are you using?
[17:58] <v507> cabrioleur: what version of autoconf do u use???
[17:58] <nickrud> carnage__, right click the panel, and add the   inhibit   applet, that will allow you to tell the screensaver to leave your screen alone for a while
[17:59] <carnage__> totem
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Actually, do it like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49987/
[17:59] <cabrioleur> v507: 2.61
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Got it?
[17:59] <lukasz_> alright it works nquake :)
[17:59] <lukasz_> But the sound is horrible
[18:00] <carnage__> but i think it's not screensaver related because  i killed the screensaver and the power managemnt
[18:01] <carnage__> aand anyway i setted the screensaver to 2 h so dunno
[18:01] <KlrSpz> sorush20: you there?!
[18:01] <nickrud> carnage__, then you can use   xset -dpms   in a terminal
[18:01] <Sammy88> I'm searching for somebody who knows how to get a laptop's suspend or hibernate mode working...
[18:01] <KlrSpz> carnage__: that's probably dpms set up on your xorg conf
[18:01] <nickrud> carnage__, why it's doing it I have no clue
[18:01] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: When you're done, save and close the file. Then open a terminal and do "sudo update-grub"
[18:01] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: if it doesn't work out of the box, your hardware does not support it yet
[18:01] <carnage__> it's very anoying
[18:02] <nickrud> carnage__, I believe you :)
[18:02] <Sammy88> oh dmmt
[18:02] <v507> cabrioleur: after i type make command it said :
[18:02] <Sammy88> -.-
[18:02] <Jordan_U_> sorush20, If nobody else has answered you already, yes, you can share your wireless connection via ethernet
[18:02] <Sammy88> thanks for the answer :-)
[18:02] <nickrud> Sammy88, what video driver are you using?
[18:02] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: got it. changed it and saved it. the # reminds to windows if you did not want sth to appear at the bootscreen. when configuring the autoexec.bat then. :-)

[18:03] <KlrSpz> who doesn't know about pastebins these days!?
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Any errors?
[18:03] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: what next?
[18:04] <Jordan_U_> v507, Read the message from ubotu, do not try to paste anything else until you do
[18:04] <multi_io> is acroread available as an ubuntu packet?
[18:04] <Sammy88> nickrud: I am using 7.11
[18:04] <the_bad_rock> can anyone help me with my sound card on ubuntu 7.4?
[18:04] <LjL> !paste | v507
[18:04] <ubotu> v507: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:04] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Did sudo update-grub spit out any errors?
[18:05] <Sammy88> nickrud: 7.12 cannot be really old - I loaded it only a few days ago...
[18:05] <tomek_> qw
[18:05] <Jordan_U_> KlrSpz, Many people don't know about it, heck, most people havn't even heard of IRC
[18:05] <sorush20> KlrSpz: i'm here
[18:05] <shonen> paste bins are niiiiccccee
[18:05] <v507> sorry
[18:05] <v507> i newbie
[18:05] <the_bad_rock> no errors
[18:05] <LjL> multi_io: not anymore, i'm afraid
[18:05] <v507> im newbe
[18:06] <nickrud> Sammy88, that one supports suspend, modify /etc/default/acpi , using:  SAVE_VBE_STATE=false POST_VIDEO=false USE_DPMS=false
[18:06] <monra> as i see from "lpstat -d" my default printer is deksjet but when i try lpr -P deskjet file.txt i get that there is no such file
[18:06] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: as far as i can see. No! see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49988/
[18:06] <nickrud> Sammy88, I am so happy to be able to suspend my laptop now :)
[18:06] <LjL> v507: then perhaps you shouldn't be compiling a server package...? ;)
[18:06] <sorush20> KlrSpz: my computer has ra0 as the wireless computer chip
[18:06] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: OK Now reboot your computer, hold your breathe, and pray that it works.
[18:06] <tim167> how do i make a video tutorial ?
[18:06] <Sammy88> nickrud: Thanks a lot, I will try that one
[18:06] <multi_io> LjL: ok thanks
[18:06] <sorush20> KlrSpz: how do I re arrange the script
[18:06] <LjL> v507: anyway, that looks like a successful make to me
[18:06] <Sammy88> nickrud: You didn't know that too?
[18:06] <KlrSpz> sorush20: lines 7 and 8 are the interfaces... EXT is your internet connection, the INT is your network
[18:07] <nickrud> Sammy88, know what?
[18:07] <LjL> KlrSpz: please, don't call people idiots. if a channel flood or some other emergency is happening, just call !ops
[18:07] <pate> hello
[18:07] <fotoflo> nickrud: you here?
[18:07] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: hahaha... i not then it was nice to meet you. :-) otherwise see you later!
[18:07] <con-man> dont suppose anyone can help me set up dual-head?
[18:07] <v507> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49989/
[18:07] <nickrud> fotoflo, hi there
[18:07] <KlrSpz> nah, it's pretty idiotic to paste 10+ lines in a room regardless of knowledge of a pastebin.. for crying out loud there's almost 1200 ppl in here with at least 30 actively speaking
[18:07] <pate> can anyone tell me how to install pichat?
[18:07] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: See ya. good luck
[18:08] <fotoflo> Nickrud: thanks for your help earlier... have another question for you :-)
[18:08] <LjL> KlrSpz: well personal insults are not appreciated in this channel anymore than pasting is.
[18:08] <Jordan_U_> con-man, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics ? ( not that I expect it to work unfortunately )
[18:08] <Odd-rationale> tim167: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/
[18:08] <LjL> v507: still looks like a successful make to me.
[18:08] <con-man>  Jordan_U yes I have
[18:08] <nickrud> fotoflo, sorry, you've had your question ;-p
[18:09] <tim167> Odd-rationale ha thanks
[18:09] <v507> then how to run the program??
[18:09] <fotoflo> I have never compiled apache before, but i have administered it on several (basic) systems... I would like to try and compile it now
[18:09] <fotoflo> currently i have it installed from apt-get
[18:09] <LjL> v507: that's another matter... does it not come with instructions?
[18:09] <x3roconf> what's wrong with apt-get?
[18:09] <LjL> fotoflo: so why would you compile it after these ubuntu guys have put so much effort into packaging it?
[18:09] <fotoflo> can i do an apt-get remove/clean and then try and compile? and if something goes wrong, just reinstall it?
[18:09] <nickrud> fotoflo, I echo LjL
[18:10] <Jordan_U_> !compile | fotoflo
[18:10] <ubotu> fotoflo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:10] <Odd-rationale> tim167: np
[18:10] <fotoflo> LjL: the default install isnt perfect for everyone's needs
[18:10] <Jordan_U_> LjL, Because he can? :)
[18:10] <LjL> fotoflo, no, if something goes wrong when you compile, you may need to remove each created file manually (and *find* them first).
[18:10] <Sammy88> nickrud, you meant the file /etc/default/acpi-support, didn't you?
[18:10] <LjL> fotoflo: and it's not stuff that can be changed from the runtime configuration?
[18:10] <nickrud> fotoflo, do  aptitude search ~i^apache , remove all those packages
[18:11] <nickrud> Sammy88, yes, isn't that what I wrote?
[18:11] <kyleBAKED> what is the vga mode for 1280x800?
[18:11] <fotoflo> ljl: find / -cmin 5 ?
[18:11] <nickrud> Sammy88, ah, I didn't
[18:11] <fotoflo> thanks Jordan_U... reading
[18:11] <LjL> fotoflo: that may work if nothing's been overwritten.
[18:11] <Sammy88> nickrud, It'll take a moment...
[18:12] <fotoflo> cool
[18:12] <ijn> hi all
[18:12] <fotoflo> never used aptitude before either

[18:12] <LjL> !flash > ijn    (ijn, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:13]  * nickrud is off to eat lunch
[18:13] <Sammy88> nickrud, I will try out now StandBy... :-)
[18:13] <KlrSpz> !flash
[18:13] <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
[18:13] <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.
[18:13] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Well?
[18:13] <Arrick> hrrm, Ive been trying all night to get my ubuntu 6.06.1 server install to actually use mod_rewrite in apache, but uhmm, it says it is enabled, but it doesnt work

[18:13] <Arrick> any suggestions?

[18:13] <^Ocean^> Hey, is it possible too run Ubuntu off a USB thumb drive ?
[18:14] <omar> application**
[18:14] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: it worked. thank you. i had 3 options: 1. ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic 2.(recovery mode) 3.memtest86+
[18:14] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: very well! :-)
[18:14] <Sammy88> nickrud: Uhm, I got another problem yet...
[18:14] <Odd-rationale> ^Ocean^: Yes. But I would reccommend DSL or Puppy linux for that.
[18:14] <aloui> HI
[18:14] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: Great! Enjoy.
[18:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale:  thank you again. i will recommend you.
[18:15] <Sammy88> nickrud: Whenever I start the standby mode it only shows me a window: "Please log in" - the station is locked...
[18:15] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: where can i find that pastebin again? url?
[18:15] <Sammy88> nickrud: I log in and it tells me that going into suspend mode didn't work (like I didnt notice...)
[18:15] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: No need to reccomend me. I'm just a ordinary channel spammer
[18:15] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: it locks the screen before suspending, your pc just isn't suspending
[18:16] <Jordan_U_> ^Ocean^, Yes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:16] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: yes
[18:16] <johnficca> where does ubuntu keep the modules that load on boot?
[18:16] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49987/
[18:16] <x3roconf> !modules
[18:16] <ubotu> To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard !kernel, install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see !blacklist
[18:16] <omar> I have a problem in installing Amarok and Kaffeine from the Add/Remove application
[18:16] <LjL> omar: what problem?
[18:16] <Jordan_U_> omar, What is the problem?
[18:17] <Stingy> hi. is there a way to get the sources of linux-image-2.6.22-14-xen
[18:17] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: May this effect be based on the hibernate package?
[18:17] <johnficca> I'm having a problem with a wireless card of mine
[18:17] <omar> LjL: Can you give me the link where I can pastebin ?
[18:17] <Sammy88> KlrSpz: I tried a lot of things, and this was one of them
[18:17] <LjL> !pastebin > omar    (omar, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:18] <Sammy88> KlrSpz, installing the hibernate package
[18:18] <con-man> would anyone be willing to take a look at my Xorg.conf and tell me why my dual head isnt working?
[18:18] <KlrSpz> Sammy88: not a lot of hardware works properly with hibernate/suspend in linux
[18:18] <LjL> !kernel > Stingy    (Stingy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:18] <NorDoc> hello guys
[18:19] <Sammy88> KlrSpz, That would be too sad if it couldnt be gotten to work because that is a -r-e-a-l-l-y important function to me...
[18:19] <con-man> I have done everything the help page said
[18:19] <Stingy> LjL, the kernel with xen is bugy i cannot use nvidia driver and there is no modul for clocking down the cpu
[18:19] <NorDoc> any ideas on how to turn ubuntu into a wireless hotspot?
[18:19] <Jordan_U_> Sammy88, What happens when you try to suspend?
[18:20] <KiD_ChAoS> a program i'm installing calls for me to do 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers' but which headers pacage sould i choose
[18:20] <johnficca> they have a driver for my card and when I use there install scripts the card starts working but then I have to run them every time I reboot...need help
[18:20] <Sammy88> Jordan_U_, The screen wents black, with light on. Then it shows a prompt like the station is locked: "Please enter your password" or something like that
[18:20] <Jordan_U_> Stingy, How would you use an nvidia module and why would you underclock a xen guest OS?
[18:20] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: does the pastebin only exist in the netherlands? http://paste.ubuntu-ger.org did not work
[18:20] <LjL> KiD_ChAoS: most likely linux-headers-generic
[18:21] <Jordan_U_> Sammy88, And if you try to enter your password?
[18:21] <KiD_ChAoS> ok LjL and what are these exactly?
[18:21] <LjL> Abyssal, it's hosted there...
[18:21] <Stingy> Jordan_U_, i speak of Dom0
[18:21] <pbx> hello everybody. I am trying to compute several times the MD5 sum of a file and it is ever changing
[18:21] <LjL> KiD_ChAoS: the kernel headers?
[18:21] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: I don't know
[18:21] <LjL> pbx: how are you doing it?
[18:21] <KiD_ChAoS> oh ok
[18:21] <aoupi> I dragged a new theme to the Appearance window, and now I can't get the old default theme back
[18:21] <pbx> Any explanation?
[18:21] <Sammy88> Jordan_U_, Then it logs me in and tells me (with a little popup in the right bottom corner) that suspending wasnt successfully done...
[18:21] <Abyssal> Odd-rationale: and how was that with those PMs again? i need to register first?
[18:22] <pbx> LjL, md5sum file
[18:22] <johnficca> my card is a realtek trl8185L
[18:22] <LjL> pbx: are you sure the file is *supposed* to be static? i.e. not some system file that gets updated?
[18:22] <Odd-rationale> !register | Abyssal
[18:22] <Sammy88> nickrud, are you still there?
[18:22] <ubotu> Abyssal: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[18:22] <pbx> LjL, it is a ubuntu CD image
[18:22] <pbx> so it is freshly downloaded
[18:22] <nickrud> Sammy88, just got my lunch, what's up
[18:23] <pbx> And shouldnt change
[18:23] <omar> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49992/
[18:23] <mboldisc> Does anyone know how to convert a WMV file to FLV without losing the audio?
[18:23] <Sammy88> nickrud, Uhm my computer locks the session before it goes to suspend
[18:23] <LjL> pbx: hardware problems are likely. use "smartmontools" (run "smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive" and, for more detail, "smartctl -A /dev/yourdrive" to check the HD -- and to check the RAM, select MemTest in your GRUB boot menu)
[18:23] <Odd-rationale> Abyssal: g2g see ya!
[18:23] <nickrud> Sammy88, did suspend ever work, like with the ati driver?
[18:23] <Jordan_U> Sammy88, Have you tried uswusp?
[18:23] <LjL> omar: please pastebin the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[18:23] <mboldisc> Everytime I use ffmpeg to convert video files, I lose the audio.
[18:23] <Sammy88> nickrud, if I log in it tells me suspending wasnt successull
[18:23] <Stingy> so, again. is there a way to get the xen patched kernel source?
[18:23] <nickrud> Sammy88, but with the ati driver, did it work?
[18:24] <pbx> LjL, Thank you. This HD is brand new
[18:24] <pbx> :)
[18:24] <NorDoc> nothing, right?
[18:24] <LjL> pbx: doesn't mean it can't be broken -- actually, quite the contrary. anyway, i find RAM more likely.
[18:24] <Sammy88> nickrud, I got that far in the beginning, that it went silent and black and all, so it was suspended
[18:24] <pbx> OK. Will check
[18:24] <nickrud> Sammy88, and it would wake properly when you used the original ubuntu driver?
[18:24] <Sammy88> nickrud, but when i woke it up he showed me a black enlightened screen forever
[18:24] <johnficca> see they have a driver here for my card http://152.104.125.41/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&ProdID=35&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
[18:25] <Sammy88> nickrud, that never worked
[18:25] <nickrud> Sammy88, then you might have hardware problems, maybe Jordan_U 's suggestion will work. Never had to use that, suspend worked here in a default install
[18:25] <Sammy88> nickrud, besides, then the solution of 1280x800 didnt work
[18:25] <Sammy88> Jordan_U, what is uswusp?
[18:25] <johnficca> I just need to find out how to get the modules to load on boot
[18:25] <fotoflo> nickrud: lets say I start messing around with other things after i compile apache - change the sudoers file and the hosts file and some other experimentation... if i mess up up bigtime, is it possible to restore an ubuntu server to a barren server, like juts after install?
[18:26] <omar> LjL: How do view it?
[18:26] <Jordan_U> Sammy88, It is an alternate suspend system
[18:26] <LjL> omar: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:26] <nickrud> fotoflo, not simply, no
[18:26] <johnficca> how do I check what network modules are in uses right now?
[18:26] <omar> LjL: Thanks
[18:26] <Sammy88> Jordan_U, got one last idea, wait a moment (didnt try it, to answer your question...)
[18:26] <fotoflo> so if i really mess up, i'll need call the people at my hosting company and have them reinstall from cd?
[18:26] <Sammy88> nickrud, Could that effect depend on the hibernate package?
[18:26] <nickrud> fotoflo, I'd suggest installing a revision control system and working inside that for config files, it will save your life
[18:26] <nickrud> Sammy88, oh, yes
[18:27] <Sammy88> nickrud, oh, great :D
[18:27] <fotoflo> nickrud: sounds like a good idea
[18:27] <fotoflo> like cvs for the OS
[18:27] <Sammy88> nickrud, that was one of the things i installed in the challenge to get my suspend mode working :D
[18:27] <nickrud> fotoflo, yes, I used rcs for /etc , it's simple and is easy to back up
[18:27] <fotoflo> nickrud: can you reccomend one?
[18:27] <taintsauce> hello children. i just got a spankin' new HDTV and am having some difficulty in getting the damn thing to play nice with X. and by play nice with X, i mean all the resolutions I get end up going off the panel
[18:27] <fotoflo> ok
[18:27] <fotoflo> ill read up
[18:28] <taintsauce> anyone have any ideas on this?
[18:28] <Flare183> johnficca: to list all of the modules you can use lsmod
[18:28] <nickrud> fotoflo, but now I use nothing, since I never have to edit /etc anymore. The wonderful work by ubuntu has done that for me :)
[18:28] <omar> LjL: There you go, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49993/
[18:28] <Flare183> johnficca: just be careful
[18:28] <Sammy88> nickrud, maybe remove vbetool too?
[18:28] <Delvien> Anyone know what package i have to install to get PCMCIA wifi card working ?
[18:28] <fotoflo> nickrud: yeah, ubuntu did a nice job of making an easy install

[18:31] <LjL> omar: i didn't want you to paste it, i wanted you to generate a new sources.list using the site i gave you and then make it your new /etc/apt/sources.list. (use « gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list » to be allowed to edit and save the file)
[18:31] <Hypergraphe> dentify irchighway
[18:31] <Hypergraphe> mouarf
[18:31] <LjL> Hypergraphe: change it
[18:31] <Flare183> johnficca: it inserts a module into the kernel
[18:32] <omar> LjL:Yes I didn't mean to paste lol.. :)
[18:32] <johnficca> how do I blacklist a modules
[18:32] <johnficca> module*
[18:32] <Jordan_U> Delvien, Does restricted manager recommend any packages?
[18:32] <LjL> !blacklist > johnficca    (johnficca, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:32] <omar> LjL: To paste it*
[18:32] <Delvien> Jordan_U nope
[18:32] <ijn> I did some reading around but still im confused
[18:32] <con-man> do I have to have in nVidia built driver for TwinView to work?
[18:33] <snugg> johnficca: do not forget, there are other details like module dependencies that insmod does not resolve sometimes
[18:33] <ijn> so what to do have aworking flash in firefox
[18:33] <fotoflo> the first thing i need to do is mess with the sudoers file so my newly added user can run sudo
[18:33] <fotoflo> and i dont have to do everything from root
[18:33] <ijn> some say is broken some say that the fix is out
[18:33] <nickrud> fotoflo, add the new user to the admin group, no sudoers editing needed
[18:33] <sammy_> ok
[18:33] <Flare183> Delvien: ok now is the card broadcom related at all?
[18:33] <Flare183> Delvien: or do you know?
[18:33] <sammy_> nickrud, ok, im back
[18:33] <LjL> ijn: the fix is not out, a patch is around on the web however. the !flash factoid gave you a link to that, didn't it?
[18:33] <Delvien> Flare183 not to sure, reading the manual atm
[18:33] <fotoflo> nickrud: this seems like basic sys-admin info
[18:33] <LjL> !flash > ijn    (ijn, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:33] <sammy_> nickrud, that was a restart..
[18:33] <ijn> anyone dealed with adobe flash latley
[18:34] <johnficca> and where do I put modules that I need to load on boot
[18:34] <omar> LjL: Do I paste the source list in my source.list file now??
[18:34] <fotoflo> nickrud: is there a good sys-admin manual that you can reccommend?
[18:34] <nickrud> sammy_, kinda figured, your old nick is still hanging around
[18:34] <johnficca> ?
[18:34] <Flare183> !flash > ijn
[18:34] <LjL> omar: yes, paste the one that you created from the site into your file, and delete the old one.
[18:34] <sammy_> nickrud, so, how did you know about these settings if you never read up this point?
[18:34] <omar> LjL: Ok
[18:34] <Flare183> johnficca: on the blacklist
[18:34] <Delvien> Flare183 of course in the manual.. they only have the idiots guide to windows drivers installation
[18:34] <ijn> so gnash is a alternative for flash
[18:34] <sammy_> nickrud, yeah, my old nick is not easy to kill^
[18:35] <ijn> im on gustsy 64bit
[18:35] <Flare183> Delvien: got the cd?
[18:35] <omar> LjL: Done, what now?
[18:35] <Delvien> Flare183 yep
[18:35] <con-man> do I have to have in nVidia built driver for TwinView to work?
[18:35] <Jordan_U> sammy_, /ghost sammy <password>?
[18:35] <LjL> omar: type « sudo apt-get update » and then try again installing
[18:35] <nickrud> fotoflo, I regularly browse http://www.debianadmin.com/ . A few ubuntu dev's have written books, but I haven't read them
[18:35] <fotoflo> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
[18:35] <sammy_> Jordan_U, what do you mean with that? never used irc much...
[18:35] <fotoflo> ?
[18:36] <godzirra> Howdy folks.  I compiled nautilus and eel from source to get multiple wallpaper support.  How do I tell nautilus-cd-burner to install wihtout looking for dependencies?
[18:36] <sammy_> how dangerous is it to remove vbetool?
[18:36] <Flare183> Delvien: ok then put the cd in and fire up a termnial and change to the drive (usually somewhere in the /media folder) and the type in ls and pastebin the output
[18:36] <nickrud> sammy_, I just did a search on google for ati fglrx suspend , since that's all I needed to know
[18:36] <johnficca> Flare183: is it in /etc/modules?
[18:37] <Delvien> Flare183 sec, just installed some packages on it, rebooted the lappy.
[18:37] <sammy_> nickrud, I feel depressed! I'm working on that topic for over 4 days...
[18:37] <godzirra> Or how do I make the nautilus I compiled into a .deb to install and supply my dependencies.
[18:37] <Flare183> johnficca: think so might want to ask out so to make sure
[18:37] <tim167> how can i get recordMyDesktop to record sound from an audio application ? now it wont record because it cant 'configure the soundcard' ...
[18:37] <Jordan_U> sammy_, If you are trying to kill "sammy" that is the way to do it, if you have registered the nick at least
[18:37] <sammy_> nickrud, and you get answers that easy...
[18:37] <con-man> anyone?
[18:37] <Flare183> Delvien: ok just do what i said just now
[18:37] <sammy_> Jordan_U, don't know how to register a nick, and for that - Sammy88 is not registered...
[18:38] <fotoflo> nickrud: its nearly impossible to find english books about linux here in beijing... and if you do find them they are from 1999
[18:38] <sammy_> Jordan_U, but thx for the tipp^^
[18:38] <Flare183> Delvien: i got to see if it is broadcom-related card
[18:38] <nickrud> sammy_, before you try getting fglrx to suspend, I'd suggest you get your machine to suspend in a default setup. That's the *hard* part, and it just Works for Me™
[18:38] <con-man> do I have to have in nVidia built driver for TwinView to work?
[18:38] <fotoflo> (i have a few of them from 1999... theres a lot of good stuff in them still, but also a lot has changed)
[18:38] <sammy_> nickrud, what do you mean with "default setup" - without ati drivers?
[18:38] <snugg> fotoflo: you can always order online? or print them if you get the e-books
[18:39] <nickrud> fotoflo, on the net, look for debian system admin books/sites , for a server they will be extremely apt
[18:39] <BetaTest> How do I install VLC player?
[18:39] <Flare183> !vlc > BetaTest
[18:39] <Vadi> BetaTest: go to add/remove, search for "vlc"
[18:39] <rsk> BetaTest: fire up synaptic search for it and install it
[18:39] <logankoester> A zombie java is preventing me from launching AptanaStudio, how can this be resolved without a reboot?
[18:39] <fotoflo> nickrud: ok
[18:39] <fotoflo> nickrud: thanks
[18:39] <BetaTest> Ah, thank you
[18:39] <^Ocean^> is it poosible too run ubuntu off a usb flash drive ?
[18:39] <Flare183> ^Ocean^: yeap
[18:39] <Vadi> logankoester: Tried System Monitor?
[18:39] <logankoester> Vadi: yeah
[18:40] <logankoester> Vadi: I mean, I can see that it's a zombie... beyond that system monitor isn't really helpful
[18:40] <^Ocean^> Flare183: And Would it run faster than my ATA100 hard drive ahaha
[18:40] <Delvien> Flare183 its so short dont even need to pastebin it ----AUTOTUN.INF, Files, flashmain.swf, Manual, manual.open.exe, Other, start.exe
[18:40] <Jordan_U> ^Ocean^, Yes, I already posted a link to a tutorial
[18:40] <Carb0n> BetaTest: aptitude -y install vlc
[18:40] <Vadi> logankoester: right click, kill process :)
[18:40] <Jordan_U> ^Ocean^, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:40] <^Ocean^> Jordan_U, Doh, i spaced out, could you Repost that for me :)
[18:40] <^Ocean^> Thanks you :)
[18:40] <Flare183> ^Ocean^: yeah
[18:40] <Jordan_U> ^Ocean^, no :)
[18:40] <logankoester> Vadi: that won't help; zombies are already dead.... hence the name
[18:40] <nickrud> Sammy88, with the non-restricted drivers, with the default suspend setup. If I couldn't get that to work, Jordan_U 's suggestion is something I'd go look at first
[18:40] <Vadi> logankoester: ending doesn't work either?
[18:41] <BetaTest> Sweet, thank you Carb0n
[18:41] <Flare183> Delvien: wow umm can you like pastebin the "files" folder then
[18:41] <Carb0n> BetaTest: anytime ;-)
[18:41] <BetaTest> Well in that case, I've got more question for ya. Lol
[18:41] <Vadi> I installed the latest version of tracker (0.6.4), but how can I get the tracker applet to display?
[18:41] <logankoester> Vadi: don't know, gnome-system-monitor died and won't start back up now either
[18:41] <sammy_> nickrud, thanks, i'll try... maybe it was working and i shoot it down :D
[18:41] <snugg> logankoester: can you get to a different init level?
[18:41] <Vadi> logankoester: Try starting it again
[18:41] <Delvien> Flare183 cant really pastebin, no network on that machine, what are you looking for ? i can just find it.
[18:42] <sammy_> nickrud, in my nooby tries :D
[18:42] <logankoester> Vadi: I told you, it won't
[18:42] <logankoester> snugg: Yeah, how low do I need to drop?
[18:42] <GHOST> hello
[18:42] <nickrud> sammy_, heh, I've broken things so many times trying to learn. Best way to learn imho
[18:42] <Flare183> Delvien: anything that says broadcom or bcm or anything like that
[18:42] <Vadi> logankoester: I'm not sure then.
[18:42] <Delvien> Flare183 looking in sub dirs now
[18:42] <Flare183> Delvien: ok
[18:42] <logankoester> I'll just reboot. :-/
[18:43] <Vadi> logankoester: ctrl+alt+backspace, try that
[18:43] <Flare183> Delvien: you might also have to look in the files too
[18:43] <snugg> logankoester: well there is only 1, 2-5 or 6 which is reboot, so go to 1 and then back to 2-5
[18:43] <logankoester> Vadi: The zombie will still exist when X restarts, obviously
[18:43] <logankoester> Vadi: thanks for trying, but you're really not being all that helpful
[18:43] <sammy_> nickrud, maybe i try to reinstall ubuntu to start with a "fresh" system :D
[18:43] <Delvien> Flare183 nope nothing says BCM or BC
[18:44] <jameswf-home> !manners | logankoester
[18:44] <ubotu> logankoester: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[18:44] <sammy_> nickrud, might be better after reconfiguring that much...
[18:44] <Vadi> logankoester: Np.
[18:44] <Flare183> Delvien: ok one sec
[18:44] <nickrud> sammy_, nothing wrong with a re install
[18:44] <Seph88> Hi
[18:45] <Flare183> Delvien: looking at the belkin site
[18:45] <Delvien> Flare183 im gonna try and see if ndiswrapper works, not sure , never used ndiswrapper
[18:45] <Flare183> Delvien: ok
[18:45] <Delvien> Flare183 and timewarner in my area cant access anything but google via web, so .. it weird
[18:45] <sammy_> nickrud, but, before doing that, i have another question: how can i find out which panel i should choose in the graphics options?
[18:46] <Seph88> I wanted to ask one question.I cant find normal media center for ubuntu
[18:46] <Delvien> flare183 brb
[18:46] <Flare183> Delvien: ok that's weird
[18:46] <Seph88> Can You point me
[18:46] <Flare183> Delvien: ok
[18:46] <nickrud> sammy_, panel?
[18:46] <Flare183> Delvien: when you get back tell me if it's a laptop or desktop
[18:46] <sammy_> nickrud, cause i have a wideflatpanel whatever, and id like to have the solution 1280x800 which isnt the case if i dont use ati drivers and dont choose the right lcdpanel
[18:47] <Leo1989> Hi guys
[18:47] <nickrud> sammy_, also, an important point: exactly what video chip are you using?
[18:47] <Carb0n> Seph88: What do you mean "normal media center"?
[18:47] <sammy_> nickrud, out of the list of panels in the graphics settings...
[18:47] <Delvien> .
[18:47] <a514> Hi how do i add a partition to mount auto ?
[18:47] <Sammy88> nickrud, so, old new nick :D
[18:47] <Seph88> replacement for windows version :)
[18:48] <Leo1989> Someone, please send any Dev-C++ or wxDev-C++ package for Ubuntu to terran@meta.ua    I can't find where to download it :(
[18:48] <Seph88> like in mediacenter 2003
[18:48] <a514> ubotu how do i mount a partition
[18:48] <Carb0n> Seph88: Windows version of what?  TV viewer? DVD player? be specific
[18:48] <Sammy88> nickrud, is "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600" enough or does that nothing say about the chip?
[18:48] <Carb0n> Seph88: Sorry, I haven't used MediaCenter 2003
[18:48] <utopia_> does ubuntu let you partition drives during  the install?
[18:48] <Flare183> utopia_: yeap
[18:49] <Flare183> !gparted | utopia_
[18:49] <ubotu> utopia_: 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/
[18:49] <nickrud> Sammy88, that's exactly what I wanted. Yes, you will have to use the ati driver to get 1200x800, but see if you can get suspend working before you do that change
[18:49] <Carb0n> !mediacenter
[18:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediacenter - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:49] <Flare183> utopia_: or atparted

[18:49] <Flare183> oops sorry
[18:49] <con-man> !sound
[18:49] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[18:50] <nickrud> Sammy88, one more thing:
[18:50] <Carb0n> Seph88: You can use LIRC to bring in remote control support.
[18:51] <Jimdb> anyone else have an issue with libbeagle after the recent update?
[18:51] <Sammy88> nickrud, but ill try - dammit, what was the name of that other suspend program?
[18:51] <Carb0n> Seph88: DVD can be played by a no. of players -- Totem, GXine, VLC, Mplayer

[18:58] <niuq> im having troubles with recovering the grub, i'm supposed to change to root source, but this command doesn't appears with my live cd of ubuntu "chroot"
[18:58] <turbocueca> kerik /home at least
[18:58] <Delvien> Flare183 yeah im downloading the packages, dont have to worry about that part ( unless you want me to install something other than ndiswrapper
[18:58] <chuckf> kerik, home for sure
[18:58] <turbocueca> kerik, basically /home
[18:58] <niuq> so if i try sudo grub-install /dev/hda, wont' work
[18:59] <goldphish> I'm trying to rebuild linux-restricted-modules but it complains that the fritz module is missing. I don't even need this module, is there a way to make it ignore that?
[18:59] <kerik> turbocueca, does it hold my drivers and all that?
[18:59] <kerik> turbocueca, and are there other folders which would be good to save?
[18:59] <turbocueca> kerik, drivers no
[18:59] <Flare183> Delvien: ok keep doing that and copy the inf files off the cd too
[18:59] <Seph88> hmm,need check out linux mce
[18:59] <Delvien> Flare183 aye
[18:59] <replica> hi, can eny1 help me, i cant se win partitions, after restart!
[18:59] <turbocueca> kerik, but u could also save xorg.conf (for the screen configuration)
[18:59] <fivetwentysix> I installed the flash plugin but I still can't see flash videos with firefox..
[18:59] <kerik> turbocueca, hmm...then I just hope it will find my wireless after install...
[18:59] <turbocueca> kerik, it depends on what you wanna save
[19:00] <kerik> turbocueca, xorg.conf is only worth saving if I have made changes?
[19:00] <turbocueca> kerik, but home folder will save most of what you do
[19:00] <Flare183> replica: if you formatted the entire hd then windows is completly gone
[19:00] <turbocueca> kerik, yes, you probably did
[19:00] <kerik> turbocueca, well...basically I just wanna start over and save my documents and all that from desktop
[19:00] <turbocueca> kerik, ok jsut save /home/(user)
[19:00] <minikylk> I want to compile a program, so I did ./configure, that tells me 'cannot compile without libpng', but I installed libpng12-0 through apt.. what's going wrong?
[19:00] <Flare183> kerik: then the /home folder is your best shot
[19:01] <kerik> turbocueca, thanks a lot mate
[19:01] <replica> flare183:i saw them before intstaling cube desktop, and win fine, but i dont see partitions from linux now:(
[19:01] <william_> i bought my dad a nvidia tnt  videocard for his ubuntu machine.  i installed it but after the ubuntu spash screen finishes showing it loading, the screen goes blank.  i have reconfigured the xorg.conf file, but in the wizard it seems like it only saw the intel internal one despite currently using the tnt
[19:01] <kerik> Flare183, thanks :)
[19:01] <Flare183> kerik: np
[19:01] <fotoflo> nickrud: just added my user to the admin group. now when i sudo with the user it allows me to sudo, but it asks me for the users login password again
[19:01] <fotoflo> can i change it so it asks for a sudo password?

[19:21] <nickrud> maek, oh. then why it doesn't I'm not sure. have you tried just unmounting the icon on the desktop?
[19:21] <Flare183> Delvien: should be something like dhcp

[19:49] <ikonia> Flare183: why does he need the ndsiwrapper source.
[19:49] <ikonia> Flare183: ndiswrapper is available in the ubuntu repo's
[19:50] <arno-t> ikonia, when i open a directory with lots of files in it, only a few images are shown with thumbnails. the rest has a dull "image" image :)
[19:50] <william_> ikonia i have installed ubuntu and it's working great.  well except that i got a new videocard and for some reason it wants to use the integrated one once x starts
[19:50] <gunja> nickrud: yes sort of. I have been pulling my hair out for about 2 days now!
[19:50] <gunja> grrrr
[19:50] <ikonia> william_: so how will re-installing ubuntu fix that
[19:50] <Flare183> ikonia: because his modprobe gives him a seg fault
[19:50] <Delvien_> Flare183 now its giving me nothing but segmentation faults
[19:50] <ikonia> Flare183: so ?

[19:53] <Flare183> ikonia: nevermind that last comment
[19:53] <william_> ok let me try this then.  i told bios to use the pci videocard, and i am using it fine even in a console (from safe kernal) but once x starts it wants to use the integrated one.  how do i fix this?  is it that pci:1:0:0 line in xorg.conf?
[19:53] <ikonia> Flare183: it also breaks your systems dependency tree.....are you going to mention that to the user your advising ?

[19:55] <gunja> nickrud: It seems to sometimes go into 720, sometimes 1080, and sometimes blank screen
[19:55] <ikonia> Flare183: I've no idea, I've not looked at the issue.
[19:56] <gunja> nickrud: I just need to work out how to make sure xorg always loads the same settings
[19:56] <Flare183> ikonia: well i seems so, persaying that modprobe is part of the kernel
[19:56] <Task> nickrud .... arent we all....
[19:56] <ikonia> Flare183: modprobe is not part of the kernel.
[19:56] <Task> :)
[19:56] <gunja> nickrud: and then know what modeline changes to make to 'squish' it :d
[19:56] <ikonia> Flare183: modprobe is a seperate package.

[19:57] <arno-t> ikonia, I tried adjusting that to see if the thumbs were regenerated, but they werent. Deleting that thumbnail dir made the trick. You see, this bug spoiled the fun with gthumb and eog, too (!)
[19:57] <Flare183> Delvien_: dude try reinstalling modprobe then
[19:57] <nickrud> gunja, if you ever do work it out, put it on help.ubuntu.com/community !!
[19:57] <gunja> yeah had the same problem in vista, apparently I can actually get teh modelines there? u know if thats true?
[19:57] <ikonia> Flare183: why do that ?? why are you suggesting random things.
[19:57] <Flare183> Delvien_: sudo apt-get --reinstall isntall modprobe
[19:57] <gunja> i.e. use a windows GUI to make the adjustments, and then copy them into linux?
[19:57] <Delvien_> flare183.. i cant do that....
[19:57] <Delvien_> flare183 no internet on that machine
[19:58] <gunja> Im happy to re-install windows to try that, and then linux again (nice little fast PC)

[20:00] <crushin_> nodz

[20:00] <ikonia> Delvien_: you don't need the internet
[20:00] <Flare183> Delvien_: yeah ubuntu is nothing without the internet
[20:00] <ikonia> Delvien_: you have the cd ou used to install
[20:00] <Flare183> Delvien_: just get the debfile
[20:00] <ikonia> Flare183: please don't talk nonsense.
[20:00] <Flare183> ikonia: i'm not
[20:01] <budluva> can someone help me out here with my external usb drive problem?
[20:01] <bluefoxx> ikonia: find anything?
[20:01] <hdvalence> i think it's kinda true, but that's a bit of an exaggeration
[20:01] <ikonia> Flare183: you are "re-install modprobe" "it's the kernel" "ubuntu is nothing without the internet"
[20:01] <gunja> whazzup budluva?
[20:01] <ikonia> bluefoxx: still looking, there are tons

[20:01] <budluva> i cant find the device block number for that usb drive
[20:01] <Ashfire908> i don't have any sound, and i don't know why. it was working before, but i can't get any sound now.
[20:01] <Flare183> ikonia: his installed the inf file from the cd and now he trying to modprobe the ndiswrapper
[20:02] <bluefoxx> ikonia: ok, thanks
[20:02] <budluva> sudo fdisk -l shows nothing besides my laptops hdd partitions
[20:02] <ikonia> Flare183: I know this
[20:02] <Flare183> nickrud: yeah thanks for the hammer
[20:02] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire108 - do u know ur soundcard? or is it integrated?
[20:02] <scix> when starting up, my ubuntu install detects all disks, but i have to give su password to browse. How can I do, so all disks loads automaticly
[20:02] <ikonia> bluefoxx: !aptonecd
[20:02] <Ashfire908> _starryeyedboy_, it's intergrated i think.
[20:02] <ikonia> !aptoncd | bluefoxx
[20:02] <ubotu> bluefoxx: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[20:03] <Flare183> ikonia: well i give up, please help him
[20:03] <gunja> budluva: what does lsusb show?
[20:03] <fivetwentysix> How do I create a user group?
[20:03] <lwells> is there anyway to use a Mac keyboard with Ubuntu?
[20:03] <DoXiD> How do i create a Tun interace on ubuntu feisty fawn?
[20:03] <ikonia> Flare183: I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment as I'm about to go out.

[20:03] <Flare183> ikonia: ok
[20:03] <Ashfire908> i tried restarting alsa, which didn't help, and i'm unable to do the sound test.
[20:04] <budluva> Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor Corp. USB-2.0 IDE Adapter
[20:04] <Flare183> Delvien_: sorry i can't help anymore i don't know why it keeps giving you a seg fault
[20:04] <critt> Does anyone know how I can find out if I'm using the drivers specifically made for my sound card or a generic one? SB512 Soundblaster
[20:04] <bluefoxx> ikonia: ok, have tried APTonCD before, found it akward to use but was a while back, will try that one again thanks
[20:04] <Flare183> some body help Delvien_
[20:04] <Delvien_> Flare183 :( now it says couldnt find package modprobe :P
[20:04] <budluva> gunja, other stuff but those bus's arent in use
[20:04] <Flare183> I give up
[20:04] <gunja> budluva: right so I assume thats the correct device being listed
[20:04] <Delvien_> Flare183 im about to smash this thing
[20:04] <ikonia> Delvien_: the package is not called modprobe
[20:04] <budluva> gunja, yup
[20:04] <gunja> budluva: cool ok
[20:04] <ikonia> Delvien_: modprobe is part of kernel-utils (from memory) but I don't see why you would want to re-install that
[20:05] <gunja> budluva: you say this has worked on another ubuntu box, and is in the same state?
[20:05] <pvl> over the internet, is it possible for me to control another ubuntu system?
[20:05] <Delvien_> ikonia because modprobe is giving me seg faults
[20:05] <gunja> pvl: Yes
[20:05] <gunja> pvl: depends on what you want to control? x, or ssh console
[20:05] <Flare183> Delvien_, ikonia: exactly
[20:06] <juan> i installed mythtv to a plain kubuntu install but the backend is having problems
[20:06] <budluva> gunja, no i took it out of my desktop and put it in the enclosure, but the enclosure worked in windows xp, and i know the drive is good, its formatted ext3 and has a bunch of my stuff from my desktop
[20:06] <pvl> gunja uhm does x include the terminal and apps?
[20:06] <budluva> gunja, light on the enclosure is working and all, just i cant mount it cause i dont know the /dev/????
[20:06] <Creationist> How would I go about editing an ISO image (to add files)?
[20:06] <critt> Anyone know how to find out what driver I am using for the soundcard?

[20:11] <chazco> louisianna - Just save as text, then use "chmod +x <file>" to make it executable. It has to be valid script though :)
[20:11] <lindenle> what do i need to do to fix this
[20:11] <DoXiD> Anyone in here that knows how to setup a tun interface    (ifconfig tun0 create    dosn't work)
[20:11] <nickrud> louisianna, you would change the execution bit on the file,  like:   chmod +x <file> to let anyone execute it, or chmod u+x to allow only you to execute ti
[20:12] <louisianna> chazco, nickrud thanks! I appreciate it
[20:12] <lindenle> hmmm...maybe I mixed feisty and gutsy
[20:12] <chazco> np :)

[20:18] <swarm> I am trying to play a commercial DVD and it is saying I do not have permission - any ideas what could cause that? I googled it
[20:18] <crdlb> devkid: what video card do you have?
[20:18] <Task1> yeah... I hit the ctrl alt f2 and it came up
[20:18] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire908 - me not too sure how come it stopped working. did it just stop after a reboot?
[20:19] <Ashfire908> _starryeyedboy_, out of the blue.
[20:19] <Task1> now I hit startx   and it went out of HZ range for my monitor... so I gotta go read that link you game me
[20:19] <devkid> crdlb, ati radeon 9600 xt
[20:19] <crdlb> devkid: which driver are you using?
[20:19] <devkid> fglrx
[20:19] <rkj> Hello, I'm trying to get dual monitors to work.  I have modified xorg.conf, hopefully correctly - now is there some command I need to issue to restart it, or do I need to reboot, or what?
[20:20] <swarm> rkj: ctrl+alt+bksp
[20:20] <gunja> Oh yeah as part of rkj's post how you easily restart x without doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart ?
[20:20] <gunja> ahhh cool thanks swarm. I tried that, and didn't always seem to work
[20:20] <nickrud> gunja, ctl-alt-backspace
[20:20] <devkid> crdlb, its the driver from ubuntu's 'restricted drivers'
[20:20] <niuq> i've just installed ubuntu over a toshiba satellite a 105, the sound it doesnt seems to work, any help troubleshooting this, would be welcome
[20:20] <gunja> or maybe that was me dodgy xorg.conf :(
[20:20] <crdlb> devkid: you need to install xserver-xgl then
[20:20] <SlimG> Is ntfs-3g installed out-of-box in 7.10 with writesupport enabled as default?
[20:20] <nickrud> Task1, what video card?
[20:20] <swarm> gunja, what vidcard u using?
[20:20] <gunja> swarm: intel
[20:21] <gunja> GMA965/X3100
[20:21] <swarm> hmm. i don't have much experience there
[20:21] <Task1> ati radeon 1600
[20:21] <swarm> i use SLI 8800GTX's
[20:21] <Abyssal> hi can someone recommend me a programme with which i can make screenshots almost as comfortable as with printkey?
[20:21] <gunja> swarm: yeah seems a lot of problems with em, but I WILL GET IT WORKING! I will....
[20:21] <swarm> hehe ;)
[20:21] <devkid> crdlb, does xgl support 3d acceleration?
[20:21] <swarm> using twinview?
[20:21] <gunja> main problem is making sure x starts and ignores DCC/EDID
[20:21] <swarm> its a program
[20:21] <gunja> but no expert in X, not really used it, cli man me
[20:21] <swarm> I am trying to play a commercial DVD and it is saying I do not have permission - any ideas what could cause that? I googled it
[20:21] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire908, well, if ur on a clean system.. u might wanna do a reinstall? or if u have a live cd - u could run from the live cd just to see if ur sound/speakers etc is actually working
[20:22] <nickrud> Task, start by running    sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg  , find the line with "ati" , change to "fglrx"  and save, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:22] <Task1> ok will do one sec
[20:22] <deepfreez> ! prism54
[20:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about prism54 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[20:22] <deepfreez> uff
[20:22] <Abyssal> hi can someone recommend me a programme with which i can make screenshots almost as comfortable as with printkey?
[20:22] <swarm> gunja: maybe you have seen this, maybe you havn't: http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html
[20:22] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire908, sorry. i can't really think of anything else. probably after the live cd, u can at least confirm that ur sound system is working =p i hope
[20:22] <crushin_> niuq this works for 105 too>> http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/fix-no-sound-for-ubuntu-in-toshiba-satellite-a205-s4707/
[20:22] <devkid> crdlb, what kind of workaround?
[20:23] <gunja> swarm: No not seen that, but it's not actualyl dual screen Im after
[20:23] <gunja> swarm: One screen will do for the moment (A 40inch Samsung LCD.... Yummy...)
[20:23] <swarm> haha. i'v got 3 24in samsungs ;)
[20:23] <crdlb> devkid: you can run DISPLAY=:0 myawesomegame
[20:23] <Abyssal> i need a screenshot programme which is able to make more screenshots than  just of the full screen or of particular windows only.
[20:23] <gunja> Are modes just aliases, i.e. I can call it whatever I want?
[20:24] <swarm> dunno
[20:24] <devkid> does it mean, that i have to start to x servers? one xorg and one xgl?
[20:24] <Ashfire908> _starryeyedboy_, no this is not a fresh install and my speakers are fine
[20:24] <swarm> nvidia has their own tool that does it all for me. lol ;)
[20:24] <Task1> nickrud  there isnt anything in sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg
[20:24] <Abyssal> i need a screenshot programme which is able to make more screenshots than  just of the full screen or of particular windows only.
[20:24] <nickrud> Task1, doh. xorg.conf
[20:24] <Task1> I tried that too
[20:24] <Task1> sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:24] <crdlb> devkid: that will happen anyway. It's how Xgl works
[20:25] <devkid> crdlb, thx, i'll try it
[20:25] <nickrud> Task1, seriously?  Did you get the server install disk?
[20:25] <crdlb> devkid: you could also disable the restricted driver and use AIGLX
[20:25] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire908, that's interesting. no.. i have no idea why. maybe run a search with ur comp model and "no sound" in the forums?
[20:25] <Task1> Ummm I got the desktop disck
[20:25] <Task1> disk*
[20:25] <chazco> Does anyone know if its possible to sync a PocketPc with XP in VirtualBox on Ubuntu 7.10 (given up on syncing with Ubuntu itself)?
[20:25] <crdlb> devkid: but that's no good if you're a gamer
[20:25] <Task1> I need server disk?
[20:25] <_starryeyedboy_> Ashfire908, it could just be that somehow the soundcard was just disabled
[20:26] <budluva> gunja, sorry had to take a phone call
[20:26] <Ashfire908> the soundcard is fine.
[20:26] <_starryeyedboy_> hm...........
[20:26] <Ashfire908> it's ubuntu.
[20:26] <_starryeyedboy_> =D
[20:26] <nickrud> Task1,  no, no.  It's really odd, that you don't have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:26] <Abyssal> i need a screenshot programme which is able to make more screenshots than  just of the full screen or of particular windows only.
[20:26] <Task1> :(
[20:26] <nickrud> Task1, run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[20:26] <Flare183> I need a home designer program for linux any suggestions?
[20:26] <Task1> kk
[20:26] <crushin_> abyssal your probably going to need to look online for that
[20:27] <crushin_>  thats not on topic
[20:27] <swarm> I am trying to play a commercial DVD and it is saying I do not have permission - any ideas what could cause that? I googled it
[20:27] <nickrud> Task1, that will create a default xorg.conf
[20:27] <Abyssal> crushin_:  you are right. probably.
[20:27] <budluva> gunja, ya that was pasted from dmesg and i plug it in and unplug over and over and its the same messages, no /dev/sbX or anything
[20:27] <Flare183> !dvd | swarm
[20:27] <ubotu> swarm: 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
[20:27] <swarm> I have those installed, Flare
[20:27] <devkid> crdlb, is it possible to write a little script that switches between the fglx and the ati driver and restarts the x-server afterwards?
[20:27] <swarm> do I have to reboot after install?
[20:27] <nickrud> Abyssal, just do a full screen shot, then crop it in gthumb or gimp
[20:27] <crushin_> swarm no
[20:28] <swarm> didn't think so
[20:28] <swarm> hmm.. something not working right then
[20:28] <crushin_> swarm what player?>
[20:28] <swarm> totem
[20:28] <fever> hi
[20:28] <Abyssal> nickrud: that is uncomfortable. :-)
[20:28] <crushin_>  swarm sudo apt-get install vlc     see if it will play
[20:29] <Task1> says warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup /etc/x11.conf.20071229152811
[20:29] <gunja> budluva: Well all I can recommend then is something along the lines of chaging the jumper on the drive, and trying again. I think my help has come to an end :)
[20:29] <Abyssal> nickrud: i know that this is possible but it takes to long if i want to do more.
[20:29] <crdlb> devkid: I guess you could, although it's much easier to just reboot when switching
[20:29] <fever> i am checking a parameter against a file using grep but its bringing back all the words from the file not matching with -v rather than the parameter... what option should i use ?
[20:30] <swarm> says there is no plugin
[20:30] <devkid> k
[20:30] <crushin_> looks to the room .. do you need a plugin for vlc ?
[20:30] <jgoo> Hi guys, #devede doesn't exist... so I will ask here - does the 'disk usage' even work? Only changing bit rate changes the estimate, changing the frame size doesn't!! :s
[20:31] <jgoo> crushin_: I don't. I support vlc natively through my optical sensors
[20:31] <Lagginator> hello
[20:31] <crushin_> nodz at jgoo
[20:31] <Task1> nickrud  you see the ourput?
[20:31] <Task1> output*
[20:31] <Task1> says warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup /etc/x11.conf.20071229152811
[20:32] <nickrud> Task1, thats good, says you have an xorg.conf.     sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   <--make sure no typos
[20:32] <Delvien_> When I "modeprobe ndiswrapper" i get a segmentation fault, anyone able to assist?
[20:32] <jgoo> can someone fire up DeVeDe and see if disk usage means anything? It says 101% but I don't believe it as last time it said close to 100% but the DVD was about 60% written (the iso size)...
[20:32] <swarm> jgoo: I noticed it was a bit off when I was using it the other day too...
[20:33] <swarm> I didn't look too far into it though
[20:33] <xal2> Hi
[20:33] <Task1> wow.... I think I am a dumb ummm you know what
[20:33] <Lagginator> Ubuntu has been partitioning my hard drive for teh last six hours, is that a problem?
[20:33] <Task1> Caps counts for linux?
[20:33] <nickrud> Task1, absolutely :)
[20:33] <Task1> nickrud   My bad I didnt know
[20:33] <Task1> :-/
[20:33] <swarm> Lagginator: I would say yes, that is a problem
[20:34] <Laja> I'm having a problem with the Ubuntu 7.10 live cd, could somebody help me?
[20:34] <Lagginator> swarm: Would it change anything if I told you it took about three hours to load the partitioner thingy?
[20:34] <swarm> Lagginator: Really old computer?
[20:35] <swarm> Lagginator: Did you disable cache in bios?
[20:35] <Lagginator> swarm: kinda, and no
[20:35] <jgoo> OK, what software would I use to cut the first 2 minutes and last 2 minutes of a video file
[20:35] <jgoo> ?
[20:35] <swarm> PC Specs?
[20:35] <fever> what is the name of that good bash channel
[20:35] <matkix> Anyone know of a remote os reload solution using pxe boot?
[20:35] <Mr_Sonoma> anyone seen any sound problems with .wmvs in totem? w32codecs are installed.
[20:35] <nickrud> Task1, don't sweat it
[20:35] <Lagginator> swarm: uhh... athalon 32bit I think its 2 Ghz, and like 128 MB RAM
[20:35] <Laja> Everytime I try to run it gets to the ubuntu splash screen and seems to be loading but then just goes to busybox
[20:36] <Task1> nickrud   says Ihave a generic video card... no ATI
[20:36] <swarm> Lagginator: The installer requires 124mb of ram itself - you do the math
[20:36] <nickrud> Task1, yes, change vesa to fglrx then
[20:36] <swarm> use the alternative install CD so it doesn't have to load graphical enviorment
[20:36] <Lagginator> swarm: heh, ok. thank you

[20:36] <Task1> ok now save and restart?
[20:37] <extracted> any good programs to handle .wma  files ?
[20:37] <nickrud> Task1, yes.
[20:37] <Laja> I'd like to use the graphical environment though
[20:37] <Abyssal> nickrud: could not find a appropriate programme.
[20:37] <Abyssal> any others who also make screenshots from time to time.
[20:37] <Task1> I see the monitor... says vert  50-160 and horiz 30-70   ... my monitor only goes upto 60 hz
[20:37] <Task1> do I leave that?
[20:37] <whynotsteff> please program for instant messages like pidgin with web cam ?
[20:38] <Abyssal> i need one with which i can define the edges with my mouse.
[20:38] <swarm> GIMP does that, doesn't it?
[20:38] <extracted> is there any good music players that support .wma ?
[20:38] <nickrud> Abyssal, not sure of one either. I know there are more, just not their names. Try searching on freshmeat.net for names of apps, then check the repos for them
[20:38] <swarm> extracted: we heard you.
[20:38] <swarm> If someone knows - they will answere
[20:38] <extracted> how do i know that you heard me ?
[20:38] <swarm> I just told you I did :)
[20:38] <user3243> lol
[20:38] <extracted> no one said any thing so i figured my text was lost
[20:38] <swarm> I was saying something.

[20:39] <nickrud> swarm, screenshots from gimp? interesting
[20:39] <swarm> It wasn't a reprimand :)
[20:39] <user3243> this room would be at at most half the capacity it is in right now, if, and only if, ubuntu users read documentation
[20:39] <swarm> I am your neighbor, extracted
[20:39] <michael_the_choi> back.
[20:39] <whynotsteff> please program for instant messages like pidgin with web cam ?

[20:39] <extracted> quit letting your dogs eat my trash !
[20:39] <user3243> pidgin = no webcam
[20:39] <user3243> use gyache
[20:40] <sohail> hey, how can I reinstall an application including overwriting its configuration files?
[20:40] <nickrud> Abyssal, gimp does that, File->Acquire->Screenshot
[20:40] <user3243> or kopete (if you're using kde, or dont mind loading kde libraries)
[20:40] <user3243> sohail i think if in synaptic you do "mark for complete removal" and then reinstall it you'll acheive that goal
[20:40] <whynotsteff> where i find gycahe ?
[20:40] <sohail> user3243, I thought so as well, but it didn't
[20:40] <user3243> hold on ill locate the debian file for you
[20:40] <devkid> i've to another question: is it possible to set the sensibility and the acceleration different on two different mice?
[20:40] <swarm> Abyssal: did my solution work for you? :)
[20:40] <Task1> nickrud... I hear it starting lol .... but monitor is out of range
[20:40] <user3243> sohail hmm, i dont know then
[20:40] <Task1> I see the monitor... says vert  50-160 and horiz 30-70   ... my monitor only goes upto 60 hz
[20:41] <Task1> do I change that part?
[20:41] <whynotsteff> where i find gycahe ?
[20:41] <jgoo> Abyssal: if you want the screenshot to happen at the same place, over a period of time, write an app that takes five arguments, x, y, width, height, seconds... just use screencapture and crop it to the size you want and serialize it to a jpg file or a quicktime mov

[20:42] <user3243> whynotsteff you are using gutsy correct?
[20:42]  * Jan` wonders if ubotu's advice can assist with a "no display at all" problem
[20:42] <InGunsWeTrust> I am having a problem getting my Cedega Gaming engine to work under Gutsy. I pass every test except Direct Rendering. I read somewhere to check glxinfo for what my renderer string is and if it says "Indirect" at the end I have some configuration to do. However when I do glxinfo my renderer string is not indirect it shows my intel card directly.

[20:42] <at0myx> hello.  i am having problems with getting gdesklets to work with lmsensors. can anybody help?
[20:42] <nickrud> Jan`, depends on the reason
[20:42] <Task1> ok thanks nickrud
[20:42] <Abyssal> swarm: which solution of yours?
[20:42] <Laja> I found this on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=639854&highlight=busybox but the command Pumalite recommended (modprobe piix) did not work
[20:42] <swarm> the GIMP one
[20:42] <user3243> whynotsteff nevermind, just download and install this (it should open with gdebi package installer) http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=158490&use_mirror=internap&filename=gyachi-blowfish-plugin_1.1.0-1_i386_gutsy.deb&47746945
[20:43] <Jan`> nickrud: Pretty simple, really - the default resolution seems to be one that the display (an HD LCD TV) doesn't support ("PC-VGA: Out of Range")
[20:43] <swarm> GIMP can select a region and screenshot it
[20:43] <nickrud> Jan`, probably true. If you know the horizontal sync and vertical refresh of your tv , then that fixres link tells you how to apply them
[20:44] <user3243> howcome installing from source never seems to wokr
[20:44] <nickrud> Jan`, although another guy was just here with problems with his hd tv, more than just those rates
[20:44] <Jan`> nickrud: Well, we would, but there's no actual display to work with.
[20:44] <user3243> i sware every time, sometimes i get as far as intalling all the deps, and then the final file gets ruined
[20:44] <fever>  i am checking a parameter against a file using grep but its bringing back all the words from the file not matching with -v rather than the parameter... what option should i use ?
[20:44] <temp00> I resized the ubuntu partition and deleted the swap partition after that and created a new swap partition
[20:44] <Jan`> And plugging it into a more capable display is... a pain.
[20:45] <at0myx> LMSENSORS PROBLEM:  all the gdesklets apps tell me that it cant find any sensors but I know I have them. ???
[20:45] <temp00> now ubuntu is not recognizing the swap partition and is really really slow :(
[20:45] <nuGzthk> how do i start the msi file for the steam installer with wine?
[20:45] <user3243> nugzthk did you install wine yet?
[20:45] <nickrud> Jan`, what kind of video card do you have?
[20:45] <Abyssal> nickrud: yes. gimp does that. thank you.
[20:45] <ilian> hello
[20:45] <temp00> no problem in live cd (the swap partition is active in GNome Part Editor)
[20:45] <remi> module-assistant doesn't compile pwc, Ideas ??
[20:45] <Abyssal> swarm: what was your solution?
[20:46] <nickrud> Abyssal, thank swarm, he brought it up
[20:46] <user3243> in order to run wine applications you must first install wine
[20:46] <user3243> in terminal: sudo apt-get install wine
thank you verry match!!!!
[20:46] <nuGzthk> i installed wine
[20:46] <user3243> you're welcome whynotsteff
[20:46] <InGunsWeTrust> how do i change file associations in ubuntu. When I download a torrent with Firefox I want "Open With" to have Deluge in it instead of the default bittorrent protocol
[20:46] <Abyssal> jgoo: writing an app is to difficult for me.
[20:46] <Abyssal> swarm: thank you.
[20:46] <nuGzthk> but when i click on the msi file nothing comes up
[20:47] <user3243> nugzthk, wine is not so reliable that you can just run anything, you'll really need some luck getting something like steam, and all its applications, to run
[20:47] <user3243> though its always worth a try
[20:47] <nickrud> InGunsWeTrust, right click the torrent file, select properties, and in the dialog window select open with tab. Move the radio button
[20:47] <dcesiel_> yo guys if i've changed my ssh port to say 35000 how do I format the ssh command so that I can connect with the new port setting instead of the default 22?
[20:47] <user3243> is there something other than an msi? perhaps an exe?
[20:47] <JordiGH> Debian recommends using aptitude. Ubuntu recommends apt-get. I actually have gotten used to aptitude and enjoy it. Is there any reason not to use it as a replacement?
[20:47] <Shel_> I am having trouble with power management with gutsy, it doesn't hibernate, standby, or turn off monitor, and if I tell it to hibernate etc. I have to reboot...any ideas?
[20:47] <nickrud> JordiGH, none whatsoever
[20:47] <chazco> Does anyone know how to use bluetooth serial ports in Gusty?
[20:47] <Flare183> if anybody needs me i'm still here
[20:47] <user3243> Nugzthk, you have fios, you lucky bastard
[20:47] <temp00> can anyone please help ?
[20:48] <xal2> Is there an alternative to wallpapoz to have different wallpapers for each workspace?
[20:48] <user3243> what are you on, 15 down 5 up ?
[20:48] <xal2> I don't like the wait time to switch wallpapers when switching workspaces with wallpapoz
[20:48] <JordiGH> nickrud: Thanks.
[20:48] <user3243> i bet you downloaded ubuntu in like 3 minutes
[20:48] <tan__> does anyone know how to start winbind service in samba?
[20:48] <tan__> i got the other 2 samba services to run
[20:48] <dgjones> !aptitude | JordiGH
[20:48] <ubotu> JordiGH: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[20:49] <grimeboy> Huh, I've had this weird change recently where if I hold a key down (say backspace) it no longer repeats. Rather I have to jab it many times.
[20:49] <user3243> hmm, i have never used anything other than apt-get, but i really like it, its flawless as far as im concerned
[20:49] <InGunsWeTrust> Thanks nickrud worked like a charm
[20:49] <at0myx> how do I get help in this channel?
[20:49] <qaldune> hi
[20:49] <user3243> at0myx by asking a question
[20:49] <JordiGH> aptitude rewrote a lot of libapt algorithms, though. Particularly the conflict resolution algorithms, which are rewritten from scratch. In that sense, I consider it more than just another frontend.
[20:49] <nickrud> InGunsWeTrust, would be nice if there was a central place to change them all, though
[20:49] <at0myx> I tried about 3 times
[20:49] <user3243> its encouraged to not ask to ask questions here
[20:50] <InGunsWeTrust> it would be very nice actually
[20:50] <grimeboy> But in 'Keyboard Preferences' I've got the right box ticked.
[20:50] <user3243> i will try to answer your question then, at0myx
[20:50] <at0myx> gdesklets keeps telling me lm-sensors cant find sensors but I know I have them
[20:50] <at0myx> so Im kind of stuck
[20:50] <xal2> Is there a way to have different wallpapers for each workspace?
[20:50] <InGunsWeTrust> Properties is a bit of an odd place to have that sort of thing, If there were a central place I think people could find it easier
[20:50] <user3243> at0myx gdesklets never worked for me, so i doubt i can help you with that
[20:50] <user3243> i would google that error
[20:50] <at0myx> hmmm.  any other apps you of?
[20:51] <at0myx> the panel applets dont work either btw
[20:51] <crushin_> google rarely worx . to many variables
[20:51] <user3243> at0myx i really liked avant window manager, for docker eye candy
[20:51] <user3243> its like osx's docker
[20:51] <noone> yo
[20:51] <Greevous> I'm not understanding how to manage users with the "Users and Groups" in System>Administration. Is there a command-line alternative?
[20:51] <extracted> so that link i followed on how to install restricted extras really didnt do any thing for me
[20:51] <qaldune> how do i fix the issue on 2.6.22 upgrade on gutsy 64bit?? it keeps saying that there was an error at the postinst hook script
[20:51] <at0myx> and that has worked fine for u
[20:51] <qaldune> is there a solution?
[20:51] <at0myx> checking temperatures and all that?
[20:52] <user3243> yes i just installed it with synaptic, then i ran it, and it worked
[20:52] <user3243> no it doesnt check temperatures
[20:52] <user3243> its just a docker
[20:52] <nickrud> Greevous, adduser addgroup deluser delgroup useradd and groupadd and friends
[20:52] <whynotsteff> i download gyachi but i don't find on applications! where i look for him ?
[20:52] <at0myx> oh.  well thats what I really would want to work.
[20:52] <user3243> whynotsteff in terminal type gyachi
[20:52] <user3243> it will run
[20:52] <crushin_> extracted please state the issue
[20:52] <nickrud> qaldune, put the complete error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[20:52] <whynotsteff> ok
[20:52] <InGunsWeTrust> does anybody know if Civ 4 for mac easily runs on Ubuntu. Seeing as mac is practically linux under the hood
[20:53] <extracted> I am just looking for a good media player besides mplayer, that i can que up a lot of songs  and its got to support .wma files. I dont need restricted extras for that
[20:53] <qaldune> ok nickrud
[20:53] <InGunsWeTrust> Because I got IE for mac to just install on ubuntu haha
[20:53] <user3243> whynotsteff, allthough gyachi has webcam support, linux is known for having trouble with webcam drivers. you may or may not be able to use your webcam at all
[20:53] <the_bull> hello all

[20:53] <user3243> ie7?!
[20:53] <crushin_> extracted sudo apt-get install vlc

[20:54] <the_bull> i need suggestion.... i need to learn another oop... i hv two choice 1. Ruby 2.Python...what do you say? which one should i learn first?
[20:54] <user3243> crushin_ when you installed vlc, did it work?
[20:54] <crushin_> yes
[20:54] <crushin_>  perfectly
[20:54] <nickrud> at0myx, I don't know anything about lm-sensors ; but /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors probably has some pointers

[20:54] <extracted> thanks
[20:54] <at0myx> ok. thx
[20:54] <crushin_>  user3243  good info ..what distro?
[20:54] <user3243> oh, ok ies4linux does that too. i would like to have ie7 running on here, for kicks
[20:54] <the_bull> chaddy, why python?
[20:55] <Greevous> nickrud: "friends" was not a command that was recognized. How can I view all pertinent information about my users? Is there a -l option for a command?
[20:55] <InGunsWeTrust> I only did IE6 for kicks too haha
[20:55] <user3243> mint linux, (its basicly ubuntu, just with a few extras here and there)
[20:55] <chaddy> because I got a copy of Learning Python for my Christmas and it looks good
[20:55] <whynotsteff> but say  in terminal bash command not found !

[20:55] <chaddy> but that is just a chance observation
[20:55] <nickrud> Greevous, ah, friends was just a place holder for other commands, the first ones would have pointed you at the rest.  groups <usrname> tells you about the groups for that user

[20:57] <the_bull> chaddy, got your point.
[20:57] <chaddy> the_bull: you could test the waters in #python and #ruby
[20:57] <qaldune> user3243 why would you remove python??
[20:57] <chaddy> see which sways you most
[20:57] <Greevous> nickrud: okay, so is there a man page that I can read to learn about managing users and groups?
[20:58] <user3243> qaldune, to lighten up the ubuntu weight
[20:58] <qaldune> greevous: man addgroup
[20:58] <lukasz> well my problems wen't away again :)
[20:58] <user3243> i remove all kinds of stuff, then see how things work. if they dont work i restore my backup with partimage

[21:02] <whynotsteff> ok
[21:02] <Arelis> Hi all. Is it safe to install xubuntu-desktop? will it override anything? Can i still have a clean ubuntu install afterwards?
[21:02] <Creed> How do I "ipconfig /flushdns" on Ubuntu?
[21:02] <Laja> When I try to run my Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD instead of going into the OS after the loading screen it goes to busybox and I've tried these steps from this thread I found "At the LiveCD initial boot screen:
[21:02] <Laja> Select F6 for more options
[21:02] <Laja> Add the following option to the beginning of the options list:
[21:02] <Laja> break=top
[21:02] <Laja> Press enter to start booting
[21:02] <Laja> Ubuntu will start booting, but kick you out to a command prompt; at the prompt type these two commands:
[21:02] <Laja> modprobe piix
[21:02] <chaddy> sorry, Perlboy
[21:02] <crushin_>  scrape  I think that depends on the printer software . least it does in mine

[21:03] <Flaim> my question: on ubuntu server, when I run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, and go through all the options, at the end it says "group mail was not found"
[21:03] <InGunsWeTrust> does anybody know if paint is easy to wine lmao.
[21:03] <LjL> Scrape: perhaps pdftk or pdfjam can do it
[21:03] <user3243> ifconfig eth0 down, ifconfig eth0 up, dhclient eth0
[21:03] <temp00> Ubuntu doesn't recognize my swap partition after I resized it with GNOME Partition editor
[21:03] <kitche> Arelis: you will just  have to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and it will come back if you want gdm
[21:04] <chaddy> Task1: I'd google "how to <your hardware> ubuntu" first
[21:04] <Creed> user3243, do I have to do dhconfig if I have a static IP? (its a server box with BIND)?
[21:04] <user3243> whynotsteff, did gdebi install the gyachi package i linked you to?
[21:04] <kitche> Creed: nope that's for dynamic ip's
[21:04] <whynotsteff> yes
[21:04] <TheEagle> why does a portscan reveal that port 110 (POP3) and 21(FTP) are open? i don't have an FTP Server or Mail Server on the pc?
[21:04] <tan__> i have a samba question, i can't get telnet 139 to work on my ubuntu samba server, any ideas?

[21:05] <Arelis> Can I access my windows network, USB sticks, and printers in Xubuntu/Xfce?
[21:05] <LjL> critt: likely because of a pretty lousy integrated soundcard

[21:05] <chaddy> Task1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96291 worth reading through, if your issue is not covered ask there, too

[21:05] <kitche> Arelis: yes
[21:05] <TheEagle> Arelis: Samba?
[21:06] <user3243> whynotsteff, i dont know why the package you just installed is not starting, or cannot be found
[21:06] <lukasz> It said cannot connect to /dev/video0
[21:06] <owlin> How do you install things?
[21:06] <isaacj87> hi is there any way to view the currently running modules?

[21:06] <teddy233> I need help setting up a complex dhcp server for nearly 100 vlans
[21:06] <lukasz> Im on a usb external 2.0 disk
[21:06] <TheEagle> owlin: apt-get install <package>
[21:06] <user3243> lukasz, i had that error before, i installed "kopete" and it worked on there
[21:06] <Arelis> kitche: how?
[21:06] <owlin> I all ready have the file
[21:06] <TheEagle> *sudo apt-get install <package>
[21:06] <LjL> critt: play with the various volume sliders. it's possible that cranking master/pcm up, and cranking the registers down (if any), or vice versa, might help
[21:06] <lukasz> ok thnx user3243
[21:06] <lukasz> you saved me lots of time
[21:06] <lukasz> :)
[21:06] <critt> ok
[21:06] <chaddy> lo lonejack
[21:07] <kitche> Arelis: it pretty much as the same tools as gnome does
[21:07] <user3243> lukasz you could try installing "cheese" to see if your cam works
[21:07] <TheEagle> owlin: what are you trying to install?
[21:07] <user3243> cheese is a great lightweight program to test the v4l2 driver
[21:07] <Arelis> kitche: And can i remove the programs it installs in one swoop?
[21:07] <LjL> critt: if you don't see registers, perhaps pastebin the output of "amixer", i can have a look if i see something that looks worth trying
[21:07] <Fracture> hey,i put my laptop into sleep or hibernate. When i turn it back on from the sleep its screen is at full darkness and i cant brighten it

[21:07] <LjL> critt: make also sure you disable MIDI, mic-in and line-in
[21:07] <crushin_> Arelis,  are those USB ?
[21:07] <kitche> Arelis: umm maybe but xubuntu-desktop is a meta package you might have to go after the xfce4 package
[21:07] <LjL> critt: (that is unless you *need* them)
[21:07] <Flare183> I'm back
[21:07] <ifireball> teddy233: unless you want the settings stored in LDAP or something
[21:07] <user3243> sorry i couldn't help you further whynotsteff, you could try installing kopete, that also has webcam support
[21:07] <kitche> Creed: though DNS
[21:08] <Arelis> kitche: is Xfce4 complete as in hardware support?
[21:08] <teddy233> ifireball: i need to assign ips based on where the request came from so the computers in each vlan get proper address
[21:08] <user3243> just type in terminal sudo apt-get install kopete
[21:08] <isaacj87> LjL what does the "ls" command do?
[21:08] <kitche> Arelis: umm if Ubuntu supports your hardware XFCE4 will since Ubuntu is the Operating system
[21:08] <Creed> kitche, DNS for the domain is handled offsite, do I *have* to host it locally/on the same box as Apache?
[21:08] <teddy233> info coming in on 1 NIC
[21:08] <critt> LjL I do Have a On Board sound card. Im currently using sb512. Should I try to enable the onboard first?
[21:08] <whynotsteff> ok thank
[21:08] <ifireball> teddy233: and in what terms do you define that "where" ?
[21:08] <Arelis> kitche: will they appear on the desktop?
[21:08] <user3243> kitche that is the general idea
[21:08] <LjL> isaacj87: uhm, list... just like in the normal "ls" command to list directory contents
[21:08] <wraund> !DVD | wraund
[21:08] <user3243> but stranger things have hpapened
[21:09] <teddy233> ifireball may i pm you so i dont miss anything you say ?
[21:09] <isaacj87> LjL ah thanks
[21:09] <LjL> critt, the SB should be much better i think. you could also try moving it to another PCI slot, further from the CPU
[21:09] <xal2> Is it possible to only show certain mounts on the desktop?
[21:09] <kitche> Creed: no you just have to set the dns you *can* do it with a .htaccess file as well if you wish
[21:09] <TheEagle> Owlin: have you downloaded a rpm?
[21:09] <ifireball> teddy233: ok
[21:09] <critt> ahh ok
[21:09] <bitmonk> Creed: you only need to add a ServerAlias for the additional name(s)

[21:12] <chaddy> pedrinhio: try googling "problem <your error message> ubuntu"
[21:12] <kitche> Arelis: xfce4 if you just want xfce4 sicne xubuntu-desktop will install a whole lot more then what you want probably
[21:12] <chaddy> you should find a forum where it is discussed
[21:12] <bitmonk> Creed: from <VirtualHost> to </VirtualHost> pls :)
[21:13] <ompaul> Led-Hed, be cautious of lib conflicts :)

[21:13] <ompaul> !checkinstall | Led-Hed
[21:13] <ubotu> Led-Hed: 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!

[21:19] <user3243> what is a good gui based web editor for linux, one that is sort of like adobe golive, or dreamwaver. ?

[21:19] <ubotu> user3243: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[21:19] <lnknpk04> Flare183, Not sure if this is the stuff I read earlier, but I'll check them out.  Thx
[21:20] <david__> is this a good forum to ask server related questions?

[21:20] <Ashfire908> karl, you can either install the correct gstreamer package, or get the dvd, mp3, java, falsh, microsoft fonts, etc by installing "ubuntu restricted extras" in add/remove programs (you will need to change "show:" to "all available programs")

[21:20] <Eroick> ok, Gutsy wont install. Some kernel problem which results in the error "PCI: Cannot allocate resource..." resulting in a full lockup. Fiesty worked fine. Accoring to bug reports, it seems to be caused by a kernel bug. So, should I go back to LTS or should I get a nightly build of Hardy?

[21:23] <crushin_> carnage  when is it blinking out?
[21:24] <LjL> Abyssal, if your hardware is supported by compiz (i.e. you can enable Desktop Effects normally), install compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, and have fun.
[21:24] <carnage__> no matter when after ~ 10 min

[21:25] <carnage__> it's related to marking mouse or keyboard as being idle

[21:25] <Task1> hey... my mouse wont work... how do I get to the menu without it?
[21:25] <PirateHead> PsiKlops: no problem. :-)
[21:25] <LjL> Abyssal: err, ok, so?
[21:26] <LjL> Abyssal: you know how to install a package, right?
[21:26] <jerichokb> Task1: you can run anything by using Alt+F2
[21:26] <Abyssal> ljL: an how to how to get it running. to install this package and make my desktop look so cool.
[21:26] <Abyssal> no
[21:26] <lnknpk04> Task1, Alt+F1 opens the App menu
[21:27] <PirateHead> Every time I log into my box using Gnome's SSH client, I put in my password and say "remember forever". But it always asks for the password again the next time. How can I get it to truly remember the password?
[21:27] <LjL> Abyssal: well then perhaps you should learn that very basic stuff before doing weird things with your desktop, no?
[21:27] <LjL> !software > Abyssal    (Abyssal, see the private message from Ubotu)

[21:27] <LjL> Abyssal: a package can easily be installed using Synaptic or the shell command « sudo apt-get install packagename »
[21:27] <Abyssal> ljL: do not know how to install a package. you right. so installing that compiz thing is not so easy?
[21:27] <crushin_> carnage__,  do you have compix enabled ?
[21:28] <crushin_> compiz
[21:28] <carnage__> yes
[21:28] <crushin_> nods
[21:28] <PirateHead> Abyssal: Installing a package is easy and installing compiz is easy too.
[21:28] <carnage__> ?
[21:28] <LjL> Abyssal: woah... you listening? it's installed by default, if it works with your hardware. can you access the Desktop Effects preferences?
[21:28] <lukasz> my webcam ain't support it waaaaaa
[21:28] <lnknpk04> lukasz, which webcam?

[21:30] <tan__> hi, i'm getting this samba error from this command, any ideas?
[21:30] <tan__> smbclient -L 192.168.1.100
[21:30] <tan__> Error connecting to 192.168.1.100 (Connection refused)
[21:30] <LjL> Abyssal: possibly, i'm not on GNOME. there should be something in System / Preferences as well.
[21:30] <Vorbote> lukasz: have you tried setting gstreamer-preferences to use v4l2? (just open a terminal or hit Alt-F2 and type the command name).
[21:30] <K4k> Is there a relatively easy way to transplant my Ubuntu install to a new hard drive?
[21:30] <lukasz> I will try
[21:30] <Lapinux> tan__: what kind of machine is at that ip address?
[21:31] <LjL> tan__: well without additional information the idea i get is that there's no samba server on 192.168.1.100
[21:31] <tan__> Lapinux, winxp
[21:31] <Abyssal> ljl: ok now it says that the composite extension is not available when i tried to shift one gear up.
[21:31] <PKdoR> I need help I please I cant install ubuntu 64bits I get a black sceen in normal and safe graphic mode
[21:31] <LjL> K4k: yeah, copying with cp.
[21:31] <tan__> LjL, no, just winxp file sharing
[21:31] <lukasz> command not found?
[21:31] <K4k> LjL: I mean, is there like a thing such as norton ghost for it?
[21:31] <lukasz> full command pls
[21:31] <LjL> tan__: well that provides a smb server. perhaps the XP firewall is blocking you though?
[21:31] <lukasz> ooops
[21:31] <lukasz> I don't think I got gstreamer video
[21:32] <lukasz> that might be the prob
[21:32] <tan__> LjL, i disabled  the xp firewall temporarily
[21:32] <tan__> LjL, i can ping each other no problem
[21:32] <nuGzzthk> why dosent itunes start up ? i installed it fully
[21:32] <Abyssal> ljl: ok now it says that the composite extension is not available when i tried to shift one gear up.
[21:32] <tan__> LjL, telnet on port 23 works too
[21:32] <LjL> Abyssal: then probably not supported on your hardware, i guess
[21:33] <crdlb> Abyssal: what video card?
[21:33] <Lapinux> tan__: i assume you have filesharing turned on for the machine your trying to connect to?  :)
[21:33] <lukasz> amarok crashed my entire system heh
[21:33] <LjL> K4k: some links about stuff like that are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
[21:33] <tan__> Lapinux, yes, i could access it from another winxp machine no problem
[21:34] <Abyssal> crdlb: AGP ATP Radeon 9600
[21:34] <sabart> Sound Config problems. Can any one help NEWB
[21:34] <tan__> Lapinux, i'm new to ubuntu so i probably did something stupid, i just installed samba and i can see my samba share locally
[21:34] <LjL> tan__: you have telnet on Windows? wow. anyway... dunno, tried mounting a share instead? sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100 /some/where...
[21:35] <crdlb> Abyssal: either disable the restricted driver (so that you're using the open source driver that comes with ubuntu) or install xserver-xgl
[21:35] <lukasz> how do I enter gstreamer preferences?
[21:35] <PirateHead> Every time I log into my box using Gnome's SSH client, I put in my password and say "remember forever". But it always asks for the password again the next time. How can I get it to truly remember the password?
[21:35] <K4k> LjL: much appreciated
[21:36] <crdlb> lukasz: gstreamer-properties
[21:36] <Abyssal> crdlb: i will try the first option first and disable the restricted driver.
[21:36] <lukasz> gotcha
[21:36] <tan__> LjL, i did mount and i don't see any errors, i went to the mount directory and it's empty
[21:36] <Lapinux> tan__:  i would make sure the windows firewall is off and if you have an internet sucurity suite that its not blocking as well
[21:37] <moo__> rc.net
[21:37] <tan__> Lapinux, those are all off
[21:37] <LjL> K4k: i'd personally use cp anyway... what difference does it make? unless you copy the entire HD byte by byte (not just a partition), you'd still have to reconfigure grub or adapt to any new hardware... and cp has the advantage that it will "defragment" the partition, while byte-by-byte copying won't
[21:37] <W_> Oi
[21:37] <Lapinux> tan__: is this xp home or pro?
[21:37] <LjL> tan__: is it listed if you type "mount"?
[21:37] <Abyssal> crdlb: where can i disable the restricted video driver?

[21:39] <sabart> no sound
[21:40] <`TyraeL^aw> seek war dod 1.3 serv off pv me now !!!!
[21:40] <W_> exit
[21:40] <K4k> Scunizi: is it necessary to retain similar partition sizes with partimage?
[21:40] <platypus> hey . just want to drop a general question. anyone experience with performance differences between postfix - ldap  and postfix - AD ?  to set it up with ldap is not to much fuss , AD dunno . But how will it behave with +- 1500 users handling around 8 - 10000 mail / day
[21:40] <tan__> LjL, no, i don't see it in mount
[21:40] <crushin_> W_ command is  /quit
[21:40] <tan__> Lapinux, it's xp pro
[21:40] <Lapinux> tan__: advanced file sharing or simple?
[21:40] <Scunizi> K4k: not sure on that one..
[21:40] <K4k> Scunizi: as in, when I make the partition image, do I need to transfer it onto another partition of that size or can I put it on a larger one
[21:41] <tan__> Lapinux, how can i tell?
[21:41] <sabart> how do you do a sound config in ubuntu
[21:41] <Pana> Linux is for poor people and Jews.
[21:41] <Scunizi> K4k: usually I put the image back onto a partition that is clean as in unallocated.
[21:41] <ifireball> platypus: that really depends on how you tune the ldap server, AD or other (though not many tuning options with AD afaik)
[21:41] <lukasz> well it ain't workin
[21:42] <nickrud> r3tex, change the link in rc2.d to K*samba
[21:42] <K4k> Scunizi: ok, well let me just see if you think this would work. I have currently a 80GB drive, I just got a 160GB drive which I'm splitting in half and putting windows and linux on, I want to then just slap what I had on the 80GB drive on the linux allocated 80GB partition, would that work?
[21:42] <ifireball> platypus: btw 1.5K users isn't alot
[21:42] <Lapinux> tan__: let me check, i forget where its at
[21:43] <aoupi> anyone know of a good tutorial to make a .deb?
[21:43] <LjL> !packaging > aoupi    (aoupi, see the private message from Ubotu)
[21:43] <jgoo> OK DeVeDe finished creating the iso - it had estimated 101% of a 4.7gb dvd. Want to know the final iso size? 1.3 gb. How can I work with this? Is there a working DVD video suite?
[21:43] <aoupi> LjL: thanks
[21:43] <Lapinux> tan__: open my computer, go to tools, then folder options, then view
[21:44] <Scunizi> K4k: yep.  The only issue you're going to have is Grub.  Since you're installing winXX first (normal) it becomes the boot drive/partition.  Check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm for a great referance for fixing Grub afterwards.
[21:44] <Lapinux> tan__: scroll all the way down to the bottom and see if simple file sharing is checked
[21:44] <platypus> ifireball: what part of the ldap do you suggest to tune ? i haven't looked into openldap that much yet. just researching it to move away from microsoft exchange next year
[21:44] <K4k> Scunizi: thanks a lot
[21:44] <jgoo> Does anyone here DeVeDe, or any program for burning DVD videos?
[21:44] <tan__> Lapinux, it was unchecked, so i just checked use simple now
[21:44] <AbstortedMinds> Can someone help me installing ubuntu on a macbook pro>?
[21:44] <Scunizi> K4k: have fun!  that's how my sys is setup..
[21:45] <K4k> Scunizi: yea, I wanted to do this on the 80GB but 40GB per partition just wasn't going to be enough for me
[21:45] <platypus> ifireball: so you think the performance won't be a problem ?
[21:45] <tan__> Lapinux, i still get the same results as before
[21:45] <Lapinux> tan__: do you have a user account on that computer as well?
[21:45] <lukasz> now what it does whenever I run kopete main windows it seems its on
[21:45] <Abyssal> crdlb: yes it is working. it looks weird.
[21:45] <morphles> i have a quad core cpu, how do i enable parallel compiling?
[21:45] <lukasz> i just can't get to device settings :(
[21:45] <tan__> Lapinux, yes, i added a 'share' account on both pcs
[21:45] <m1ke> I may be having a similar issue.  I just installed XP and then Ubuntu on two different partitions however, the boot loader is not showing up to let me choose between the two.  Anyone know what I should do?  Will a reinstall of ubuntu fix this?
[21:46] <lukasz> I don't even know if it wokrs
[21:46] <RedHeron> morphles: what do you mean "enable"?
[21:46] <tan__> Lapinux, but i'm logged in as a different account
[21:46] <Delvien_> Flare183 you therE?
[21:46] <Lapinux> tan__: im talking an local user account on the xp machine
[21:46] <ifireball> platypus: well, I don't know an awful lot about openldap, I do remember its backend being rather flexible; I have about 3k users on an OID no sweat; ymmv
[21:46] <Abyssal> crdlb: and all those effects seen in the video can be defined for everyones desktop?
[21:46] <tan__> Lapinux, yes, both xp and ubuntu have the exact same user account
[21:46] <crdlb> Abyssal: join #compiz-fusion for help customizing it
[21:46] <chazco> Can anyone tell me how to sync a PocketPC with Ubuntu? I have XP in Virtualbox (would rather sync with Evolution i guess), bluetooth and USB... SynCE doesnt seem to work too well
[21:46] <suttles95> I'm having an error in Banshee...the program is stuck waiting on the transcoder to sync to my iPod...can anyone help?
[21:46] <morphles> i mean so that when compiling all cores would compile at the same time, but now i get just one core compiling(i belive so, by cpu usage in htop)
[21:46] <Abyssal> crdlb: thank you
[21:47] <Lapinux> tan__: ok, so uncheck that box, so its using advanced file sharing, and make sure you have a share set up
[21:47] <Hilikus> how do i run an anacron job as a regular non-root user?
[21:47] <m1ke> Scunizi: I think i'm having a similar issue with grub.  The bootloader doesnt seem to appear after the install
[21:47] <WorkingOnWis1> i'm trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10 I can boot the cd, but the display goes a funky white/gray and tays that way. I can hear the startup sound. ctrl-alt-backspace doesnt help. I have tried every video mode, no joy. I tried the noapic kernel option, no good. I have a a turion x2 laptop with nvidia go 6100 video. This is the 32bit cd i am trying to boot. the amd64 cd boots fine.
[21:47] <Lapinux> tan__: go into the sharing options on the xp machine and make sure your user has permission to it or that everyone has access to it
[21:47] <Scunizi> m1ke: do you have multiple HD's in the machine?
[21:48] <lukasz> all I do is force quit cause it crashes and doesn't work :(
[21:48] <m1ke> Yes but I'm partitioning just one for the install of windows and ubuntu
[21:48] <tan__> Lapinux, ok, i'll try those, i'm just trying to login to xp using the new 'share' account
[21:49] <killux> hey, is anyone here running ubuntu on their ps3?
[21:49] <Scunizi> m1ke: take the other HD out during install or use the link I provided above to put grub "in the right place".
[21:49] <lukasz> very wierd problem im hsving

But i'm more attrected to implementing an openldap too . we'll be shutdown for 3 weeks , so why notmake the transition at once .   but when you run 3k on it , i gues it will be up for the job.. what h/w you rnning for it ?

[21:52] <arooni> how do i read the SYSLOG
[21:52] <Lapinux> tan__: sudo smbpasswd -a "username" ?
[21:53] <ifireball> platypus: Hardware->the huge kind... don't follow my example; OID is an Oracle product; you can probably do much more with much less
[21:53] <tan__> Lapinux, yep, like sudo smbpasswd -a share

[21:54] <zcat[1]> Computer: you don't "uninstall" linux .. generally you just 'install' something different over the top. Go to the support channel for whatever OS you plan to install?
[21:55] <zcat[1]> hmmm.. too late
[21:55] <ifireball> platypus: I'm not sure what postfix needs from the LDAP , if its just auth any LDAP can do that, AD as well (might be the right idea if you already have the users thee)

[21:56] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[21:56] <nuGzthk> why is lime blank when i load it up?? does any1 know?
[21:56] <zcat[1]> I'm still pissed about the printer management.. who decided to drop the really nice thing we had and replace it with something much more complex? Bad decision IMHO..
[21:56] <ifireball> platypus: I did have it running on a smaller dual xeon with 2G ram for a while and it was mostly idle
[21:56] <morphles> if there would be some way to merge ubuntu and gentoo that would be the ultimate os
[21:57] <morphles> would totaly rule
[21:57] <ompaul> morphles, you are offtopic this is a support channel
[21:57] <jgoo> zcat[1]: I just setup 5 network printers on a computer network. In the end we had to **DROP* support for windows as it was nuts trying to get them all working. It was ... as you would imagine it should be, easy and straight forward having all printers working on linux.
[21:57] <Hilikus> how do i run an anacron job as a regular non-root user?
[21:57] <kitche> Hilikus: make a crontab as the user
[21:58] <Hilikus> kitche but if i just do that it wont run if the computer's off
[21:58] <WorkingOnWis1>  i'm trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu x32 7.10 I can boot the cd, but the display goes a funky white/gray and stays that way. I can hear the startup sound. ctrl-alt-backspace doesnt help. I have tried every video mode, no joy. I tried the noapic kernel option, no good. I have a a turion x2 laptop with nvidia go 6100 video. The amd64 cd boots fine.
[21:58] <arooni> can someone please help me get ddclient working ?
[21:58] <platypus> ifireball: yes the users are on the ad . But a move will be in order anyway..  all the systems are goig to be replaced , and we want to completely switch away from ms .  so if the ldap can cut it , ldap it is.  just researching the options . primary need is email , file storage , and user auth.
[21:58] <zcat[1]> also sound is a MESS. I understand that ubuntu is moving to some new unified framework instead of the mess of oss/alsa that it used to have, but I have no idea what controls I use to turn on my microphone, for record only, or to record from 'loopback' -- the old system was much easier to figure out
[21:58] <jgoo> zcat[1]: just like I would only recommend a relative to use firefox (easier, makes sense) I would now only recommend someone to use ubuntu, as quite simply anything else is harder, and more likely to cause problems
[21:58] <crushin_> jgoo . how did you include the tools .... ? my printer will print  but it will not acknowledge the USB port on add?
[21:58] <r3tex> nickrud: doesn't changing the initscript link to K-something confuse things since it tries to kill something that hasn't started?
[21:58] <ifireball> platypus: what are the clients running?
[21:59] <platypus> ifireball: another quest is to have some nice email sollution.  some groupware running on linux would be nice.
[21:59] <platypus> ifireball: mostly w2k and xp . no vista ...
[21:59] <jgoo> Also, I have had 3 new computer users start using ubuntu on laptops... they never really used computers before (if you can believe that). It is amazing to see new computer users just not realise that they are using anything different, as they have no predefined ideas
[21:59] <zcat[1]> jgoo: yes, but in the case of printers, there used to be something that my mother could use.... it's been replaced with something that even I can't understand half the time. The old package is still there and as soon as I found out I uninstalled the new one and went back to the old, still perfectly funtional one... wtf?!!
[21:59] <chazco> When my printer runs out of paper it'll continue to print the last page (when more paper is added) it managed until the power is switched off... ideas?
[22:00] <platypus> ifireball: for groupware i was looking at zarafa , but other suggestions are welcome too .
[22:00] <ifireball> platypus: you're talking 6 months worth of integration work here probably; you need a full-time guy for this not an IRC channel
[22:00] <jgoo> zcat[1]: I think I was using the old one (actually, or something else, this was using openSuSE)
[22:00] <jgoo> I haven't setup printers in ubuntu
[22:00] <ifireball> platypus: as it comes to groupware I've only seen horde so far, but there are dime-a-dozen...
[22:01] <ompaul> !cups | zcat[1] have a read of this
[22:01] <ubotu> zcat[1] have a read of this: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[22:02] <platypus> ifireball: yes that's right ..  just wanted some input ...    more research is much needed indeed..  thanks for your time anyway ..   think i'll call it a day ;)  thanks again ..
[22:02] <ifireball> platypus: samba website has some nice progressive by-example book on building and scaling big linux/windows networks
[22:02] <Greevous> how do I copy only the contents of a directory with cp?
[22:02] <Hilikus> will anacron run users crontabs if they were missed by cron or just system crontabs (i.e /etc/cron.* )??
[22:02] <platypus> ifireball: thanks for the pointer..
[22:03] <ifireball> platypus: in a sec i'll do more then that and link you

[22:05] <rredd4> Where can I download 7.10 dvd iso?  I have tried torrent and iso download, both quit on me.  i am in the usa, west coast.
[22:05] <preaction> rredd4, torrent "quit"? how?
[22:06] <fubbleskag> rsk i want to have your babies right now
[22:06] <platypus> ifireball: i'll mark it and do some reading up tomorrow.  many thanx ... greets and have a nice new year .. party on .. ;)

[22:07] <WorkingOnWis1> fubbleskag: no. Averatec 7170
[22:07] <preaction> rredd4, torrent is your best bet, or the official http (but i had problems with the official http). torrents don't quit, they only fail if the tracker is dead and only if you have no peers. try again
[22:07] <Greevous> robdig
[22:07] <Greevous> thank you

[22:08] <slipttees> happy new year for all...!!
[22:09] <Shockie> Hello Community
[22:09] <Scunizi> WorkingOnWis1: you might try the "Alternate CD" instead of the live cd.
[22:09] <preaction> rredd4, probably because you're not giving back
[22:09] <rredd4> preaction i am
[22:09] <Greevous> robdig: can I cp files into the font:/// directory somehow?
[22:09] <WorkingOnWis1> Scunizi: even tho the and64 disk boots fine?
[22:10] <WorkingOnWis1> amd64
[22:10] <rredd4> torrent says 3 days to dl..
[22:10] <preaction> rredd4, if not that, then you're saturating your upstream. try setting your upload limit to about 90% of your max upload. ACK packets need to get through. if you're running through a firewall / packet filter, you might be able to prioritize ACK packets
[22:10] <Scunizi> WorkingOnWis1: either that or you might have a bad burn of the live cd.. It should be done at the slowest possible speed.

[22:11] <OleMoudi> any ideas how to sync system time between windows and ubuntu installations? whenever I boot to a different OS I the time is wrong, +/- 2 hours
[22:11] <Shockie> Can someone help me with some Ubuntu - Laptop - USB Booting problems? Plz.
[22:11] <WorkingOnWis1> Scunizi: I'll reburn then, and if not, try the alt cd. thanks
[22:11] <Greevous> robdig: I did, it says 'fonts:///' is not a directory
[22:11] <preaction> rredd4, are you connected to all of them? i hope not. too many connections can make certain OSes and routers/gateways go nuts. just Be Patient
[22:11] <Scunizi> WorkingOnWis1: np.. I hope it works.. frustration isn't what anyone wants.
[22:12] <Task1> Why cant I enable the visual effects?
[22:12] <rredd4> preaction  uuggggh!
[22:12] <rredd4> lol

[22:12] <|DuReX|> I installed swat (samba configuration web) but the help links doesn't work ... the page doesn't exist ... any id ?

[22:13] <tofaffy> I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy on an Acer ASpire 3050..When I start up, after grub does it's thing it just hangs. If I change to another shell or something with CTRL+ALT+F1-Fwhatever it starts up...it skips the ubuntu splash screen though. What could be causing this? I put noacpi and noapic in the grub config too.
[22:13] <lukasz> I tell you 870 is powershot once I get it i try to hook it up to linux  :)
[22:13] <Task1> Ati Radeon 1600
[22:13] <C112> hello all
[22:13] <tofaffy> I had this problem last time I did an install but I can't remember what I did to fix it.
[22:14] <Shockie> And if you have already openGL activated @Task1
[22:14] <Lapinux> Task1: did you install the restricted drivers for it?
[22:14] <Greevous> robdig: darn. There's so many subdirectories in /usr/share/fonts, I just wanted to copy some from my Windows font folder
[22:14] <lukasz> fglrxinfo displays fine in terminal on my lappy :
[22:14] <lukasz>  :)
[22:14] <Shockie> I have a Problem with booting ubuntu on my Laptop with USB Devices connected
[22:14] <Task1> Yeah I went to restricted drivers... and it had a install for it...
[22:14] <lukasz> have you updated it your bios Task1
[22:15] <Task1> So it doesnt use onboard vid?  Yeah it auto checks it
[22:15] <Shockie> Maybe you have to check wheater the correct driver is set in Xorg.conf
[22:15] <lukasz> hmm
[22:15] <lukasz> I got grub installed on hd1
[22:15] <C112> can some one any thing about dual display cards ubuntu
[22:15] <horizxon> is there a way to check the status of a mount?
[22:15] <Shockie> Which card @ C112
[22:16] <C112> ati and  nvidia
[22:16] <tofaffy> I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy on an Acer ASpire 3050..When I start up, after grub does it's thing it just hangs. If I change to another shell or something with CTRL+ALT+F1-Fwhatever it starts up...it skips the ubuntu splash screen though. What could be causing this? I put noacpi and noapic in the grub config too.
[22:16] <horizxon> er Ill just count how many files there are in the folder containing the mount
[22:16] <Guillem> Hmm, how does the PDF printer work???? It appeared since my upgrade to Gutsy but when I print to it, nothing happens (I was expecting some kind of dialog asking for a file destination)
[22:16] <C112> the one is an ATI the other  nvidia
[22:16] <Lagginator> What's the alternate installation thing, the one that doesn't need as much system resources?
[22:16] <Odd-rationale> When you enter your password for sudo, it remembers it for 15 minutes or so. There a command to make it forget the password manually?
[22:17] <arooni> how do i run commands that require sudo on system startup (specifically ddclient) ?   can i just put the command in the sessions table to be:  "sudo ddclient" ?
[22:17] <Guillem> Odd-rationale, yes, it exists but I cannot remember it...
[22:17] <rredd4> preaction  i got this error: torrent got exception: exceptions.TypeError  Traceback (most recent call last) Plus a few other lines, too many to type
[22:17] <Odd-rationale> Guillem: That helps a lot. ;)
[22:17] <Shockie> oh sorry in this case i can't help u. I thought you have one dual card running.
[22:17] <bajun> Can not setup a printer.
[22:17] <bajun> CUPS don't know a usb backend after, how it was before, install of printconf, is anyone know, why?
[22:17] <preaction> rredd4, use a different torrent client
[22:17] <lwells> Can someone help me with speaker balance?
[22:17] <rredd4> preaction ok
[22:18] <C112> i would like to have dual display

[22:25] <Malin> bottiger, System --> Administration --> System monitor --> file system tab
[22:25] <kitche> Hilikus: make crontab as user and it might run myself I don' use anacron anymore
[22:26] <Retro`> ompaul, is there any mp4 player support on irc?
[22:26] <kitche> Hilikus: since anacron is missing some features that I like to use
[22:26] <nuGzthk> Kitche: i have the plugin but cant figure out how to add songs , o yea another thing when i load up limewire its just a grey box?
[22:26] <bottiger> Malin: okey - thanks
[22:26] <alesan> hi
[22:26] <Shockie> :-D
[22:26] <alesan> I remember a friend of mine had skype on linux with webcam support, but I am not sure which version was
[22:27] <clarezoe> hi, anyone can help me? I can't open nautilus with the error :nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libbeagle.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[22:27] <alesan> now I donwloaded what seems to be the latest version but I do not find any webcam support
[22:27] <kitche> clarezoe: you probably need to install libbeagle your missing the libbeagle.so.0
[22:27] <ompaul> there are some players supported but only on the baisis that you are using their firmware - this is not a good place for it you could try exactly one thing, sudo dosfsck -a /dev/whateverSDAorWhateverItIs - but this could make it more bricked
[22:27] <Hilikus> i dont know, unless theres another anacrontab, the one on /etc only runs/etc/cron.daily/* and /etc/cron.weekly/*
[22:28] <ompaul> Retro`, ^^ and I know more bricked :-)
[22:28] <sofiankrt> nickrud: lol
[22:29] <sofiankrt> nickrud: but now I've got another problem! :)
[22:29] <Retro`> ompaul, is there any way i can unbrick my SanDisk Sansa e260 mp4 player?
[22:29] <arooni> hey team ... i'm trying to log in via ssh to my desktop without having to type the password.  i've already run ssh-keygen on my ubuntu laptop, then appended the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key to my file of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my desktop ubuntu.... but when i ssh in .... i still have to type password... wtf?  ideas?
[22:29] <nickrud> sofiankrt, can't be worse than the last
[22:29] <sofiankrt> nickrud: I still haven't figured out how to connect to the internet!
[22:29] <ompaul> Retro`, not that I am aware of - it is not a ubuntu issue as I have said already
[22:30] <Hilikus> arooni did you change the required params in sshd config file?
[22:30] <Hilikus> arooni so that it accepts that type of auth
[22:30] <kitche> arooni: did you enable key based logins in the sshd_config
[22:30] <arooni> Hilikus, kitche i dont know...... where do i go to fix
[22:30] <clarezoe> kitche, I have the libbeagle installed
[22:30] <sofiankrt> nickrud: for mandriva, I just downloaded a reverse engineered drive from the internet... bcm33xx or something
[22:31] <arooni> where do i go to check
[22:31] <Rufus_> how do i add partitions in ubuntu?
[22:31] <Rufus_> manage*
[22:31] <clarezoe> kitche, and I tried --reinstall, it doesn't work
[22:31] <erUSUL> !gparted
[22:31] <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/

[22:31] <Rufus_> ThAnK yOu
[22:31] <nickrud> sofiankrt, go to that link, it should help you set up

[22:32] <sofiankrt> nickrud: I hope I won't be dissapointed by ubuntu!
[22:32] <intelikey> sofiankrt you will.
[22:32] <cristianorem> hi
[22:32] <nickrud> sofiankrt, look for the off-line installation section
[22:33] <arooni> kitche, Hilikus any ideas?
[22:33] <Task1> Hey I found a update for my driver ... it is like   ati-driver-installer-blah-blah.run
[22:33] <Task1> how do I install it?
[22:33] <kitche> arooni: did you restart sshd?
[22:33] <arooni> kitche, i already had those options enabled
[22:33] <netlarlinux> can someone help me with speaker balance
[22:33] <arooni> kitche, should i restart it though?  if so, how can id o that
[22:34] <kitche> arooni: yes but did you restart sshd when you enabled those options
[22:34] <arooni> kitche, when i opened the file i already had those options enabled
[22:34] <ivanhoe> sorry can you help me with a how to
[22:34] <ivanhoe> for mount a cell phone
[22:34] <ivanhoe> in ubuntu
[22:36] <netlarlinux> when they are attached to a ms box they work fine
[22:37] <sofiankrt> how do I know if my computer is 64 bit or 32 bit or whatever?
[22:37] <sofiankrt> what's it called?
[22:37] <sofiankrt> architecture?
[22:37] <kitche> sofiankrt: what's your processor?
[22:38] <sofiankrt> kitche: don't really know
[22:38] <con-man> how do I shut down X?  I type "sudo pkill X" in another tab (Ctrl-alt-1) but it starts back up again
[22:39] <kitche> con-man: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:39] <netlarlinux> but only one of them works on this ubuntu machine
[22:39] <netlarlinux> just cannot find where the balace is kept
[22:40] <netlarlinux> balance
[22:40] <InGunsWeTrust> what is the least buggy flash player. I am not sure which one I have now but sometimes npviewer.bin freezes firefox and sometimes buttons on youtube for pause and play dont work
[22:40] <ChrisULM> is anyone here familiar with ssh tunneling using a dd-wrt router?
[22:40] <kitche> InGunsWeTrust: flash 7
[22:41] <sofiankrt> how do I know which processor I have?
[22:41] <ChrisULM> sofiankrt, are you in windows?
[22:41] <dennda> cat /proc/meminfo <-- Which line tells me what amount of RAM is to be overwritten when more ram is needed? (i.e., how much rum is "old" and not used anymore?)
[22:41] <sofiankrt> ChrisULM: no, mandriva
[22:42] <Terfy> hi there..
[22:42] <ithicine> sofiankrt: try running dmesg | less CPU0 in a terminal
[22:42] <ChrisULM> you need to know which processor you have, like amd or intel?
[22:42] <Terfy> are some of you using initng ?
[22:42] <jared> I am running Ubuntu Gutsy on an Acer Aspire 3050. When I boot, the computer kind of freezes after it gets past the grub OS choice menu. If I hit CTRL+ALT+F<number> it will continue doing it's thing. I can show you my syslog if you need it...what could be causing this?
[22:42] <ithicine> sofiankrt: err sorry... I meant dmesg | grep CPU0
[22:42] <kitche> Terfy: probably all here is using Upstart which is default in Ubuntu
[22:43] <Task1> Hey I am doing...    sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:43] <Task1>  but it says no such file
[22:43] <Task1> where should it be? what dir?
[22:43] <Terfy> kitche Upstart.. aha.. Ill google it.
[22:43] <Greevous> I've just finished installing compiz on a new Gutsy installation, and the menubar does not match my current theme. It has that "classic windows" look
[22:43] <Varanger> I am having problems changing the resolution with amdcccle. First, I change it but after I restart my system, the resolution returns to the previous one. I can't keep the chang
[22:44] <kitche> Terfy: it's in launchpad
[22:44] <sofiankrt> ithicine: apparently I have an Intel Genuine Intel(R) CPU, but aren't I supposed to have a pentium 1 or 2 or 3 etc...?
[22:44] <BehiiMehii> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4035182 can somebody skim through that and give me a bit of help, please?
[22:45] <ChrisULM> BehiiMehii, you need to install the wmv codec
[22:45] <ithicine> sofiankrt: this means as far as the kernel knows, it's just a generic Intel chip.  Here's something else to try.
[22:45] <ChrisULM> tell it to search for the driver
[22:45] <sofiankrt> ithicine: it also includes something about T2080, could that be my CPU?
[22:45] <|DuReX|> I installed samba, it works on the same computer, but i can't access it with my windows pc :(
[22:45] <BehiiMehii> ChrisULM I don't think it's a codec problem now because none of the files even show an image
[22:45] <ithicine> sofiankrt: oh!  There we go.  Yup, you've got a 64 bit chip
[22:45] <cav3man> try dmesg | grep  CPU0
[22:45] <Varanger> I am having problems changing the resolution with amdcccle. First, I change it but after I restart my system, the resolution returns to the previous one. I can't keep the change
[22:45] <Task1> when you run a bash command with sudo ... where should the file be?
[22:46] <kitche> Task1: anyplace that you have the file
[22:46] <Task1> so when I run that command... and it says file not found what do I do?
[22:46] <magical_trevsky> Task1, root's home foldeer is /root
[22:46] <Task1> sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:46] <magical_trevsky> oh nvm, misread
[22:47] <kitche> Task1: what do you mena by file not found
[22:47] <Task1> I run this command right here  :sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:47] <usr13> Task1: First, cd to the driectory where you saved the file.
[22:47] <sofiankrt> ithicine: oh, cool! thanks!
[22:47] <ithicine> sofiankrt: no, wait.  I just looked into it
[22:47] <Guillem> hmm, seems that I have to create a PDF directory and give correct permissions since cupsd cannot generate the file...
[22:47] <Task1> and it says file not found ... I am trying to install my drivers manually and following the tutorial...
[22:48] <ChrisULM> Task1, you arent in the correct directory
[22:48] <BehiiMehii> So ChrisULM, any idea? :/
[22:48] <Task1> its on my desktop though I see it
[22:48] <InGunsWeTrust> what is a good program for linux that edits PDF files
[22:48] <magical_trevsky> Task1, run it as ./ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run
[22:48] <usr13> Task1: cd Desktop
[22:48] <Task1> ok... what directory should I put that file in?
[22:48] <ChrisULM> BehiiMehii, sorry
[22:48] <magical_trevsky> you need the ./ because the current dir is probably not in your $path
[22:48] <Task1> ok
[22:48] <ChrisULM> Task1, type "cd desktop"
[22:48] <ithicine> sofiankrt: I thought the 2080 supported 64 bit, but apparently not.  It's the T23xx series chips that support 64 bit.  You've got a cheaper 32 bit dual core mobile chip
[22:48] <ChrisULM> then run that
[22:48] <Varanger> Does anyone here have a ATI card??
[22:48] <usr13> Task1: Sand then:  sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:49] <ithicine> sofiankrt: but I wouldn't worry... there's still very, very little benefit to 64 bit at the moment, if any
[22:49] <cav3man> Varanger, an old ATI card
[22:49] <sabart> exit
[22:49] <annonymouse> hey all
[22:49] <usr13> annonymouse: Yes one
[22:50] <annonymouse> yes one what?
[22:50] <usr13> annonymouse: hey all what?
[22:50] <sofiankrt> ithicine: so, I shouldn't use 64 bit software? My ubuntu is 64 bit, and it works just fine! and what does it all mean, anyway?
[22:50] <annonymouse> just hi this  time around i dont actually have a queston
[22:50] <usr13> annonymouse: (I can tell this is going to be an interesting conversation.)
[22:51] <Task1> I am so confused.... I type in cd desktop and it says command not found
[22:51] <con-man> I cant seem to use the nvidia built driver. it says you do not have a nvidia driver selected just run  nvidia-xconfig and restart X.  I do that but I get the same message when trying to load the settings manager
[22:51] <nonewmsgs> i got a nvidia tnt videocard for dad's p3 1ghz ubuntu machine. once x starts the screen goes blank, er rather did until i started running the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  lspci has said that i have a vga compabale controller nvidia nv6 [vanta/vanta lt] (rev 15) at 01:0e.0  i tried to punch that in as pci:01:0e:0 in the wizard, but it says that is not a valid entry. pci:01:0:0 does not work
[22:51] <arooni> hey team ... i'm trying to log in via ssh to my desktop without having to type the password.  i've already run ssh-keygen on my ubuntu laptop, then appended the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key to my file of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my desktop ubuntu.... but when i ssh in .... i still have to type password... wtf?  ideas?   also, the sshd_config file already has public key authentication enableed
[22:51] <ChrisULM> Task1, open up a terminal
[22:51] <usr13> annonymouse: Imagine that, a ubuntuer with no questionns!  :)
[22:51] <cav3man> Task1, try cd Desktop
[22:51] <Task1> Its open
[22:51] <annonymouse> naw just  been using ubuntu for a week now with only a few stupid things on my part  seamlessly and all the things i do in windoze i can do in ubuntu quicker and better
[22:51] <ChrisULM> cd Desktop
[22:51] <Task1> damn caps... sorry bout that
[22:51] <ChrisULM> haha
[22:52] <Task1> I am a newb on this system
[22:52] <Task1> :-/
[22:52] <annonymouse> no doubt in 10 mins i will have a question about apache when im done researching it
[22:52] <ChrisULM> no prop
[22:52] <con-man> any ideas?
[22:52] <annonymouse> me to task1 i know nothing about linux
[22:52] <ithicine> sofiankrt: well... the 64 bit support in that chip is fairly limited, and you're probably hurting your performance with 64 bit on it.  example: I've tried both 32 bit and 64 bit Ubuntu on my laptop with an Athlon 64 X2 in it... and I get better performance with 32 bit
[22:52] <Task1> :)
[22:52] <ChrisULM> Task1, little hint. You could have just typed "bash" and then drug the file you had on the desktop into the terminal
[22:52] <ChrisULM> * "bash "
[22:52] <ChrisULM> (space after bash)
[22:53] <con-man> any ideas?
[22:53] <Guillem> damned, it is something related to "apparmor". Firstly I will have to study what apparmor is...
[22:53] <Shapeshifter> Hi. I wanted to play Unreal Tournament 2004 but I noticed that it runs really bad in 7.10 compared to XP. I have an Intel GMA950 chip that is just fine for such an old game, in XP I can run ut04 at high settings and a reasonable resolution. What's the problem here, I thought the intel drivers are good?
[22:53] <Task1> Wait a sec
[22:53] <Task1> terminal... thats a seperate ummm  like   Alt + f3   ?
[22:53] <Task1> Thats a terminal?
[22:53] <Guillem> Shapeshifter, Probably not so good drivers...
[22:53] <kitche> Shapeshifter: do you have direct rendering enabled
[22:53] <usr13> Task1: No, just a terminal window
[22:53] <con-man> I cant seem to use the nvidia built driver. it says you do not have a nvidia driver selected just run  nvidia-xconfig and restart X.  I do that but I get the same message when trying to load the settings manager
[22:53] <Task1> hmmm how you get a term open?
[22:54] <ChrisULM> Task1, its under applications > accessories
[22:54] <ChrisULM> (on your menu)
[22:54] <Task1> ahhhh
[22:54] <Shapeshifter> kitche: I guess. I can use Compiz-Fusion without problems. I turned it off to play by the way.
[22:54] <annonymouse> applications/accessories/terminal
[22:54] <ChrisULM> Task1, why do you want to manually install your card instead of using the auto installer?
[22:54] <usr13> Task1: And then, cd to the Desktop directory:  cd Desktop
[22:54] <Task1> ok so now we... I mean I have a new problem
[22:55] <con-man> the autoinstaller doesnt work
[22:55] <con-man> at least for me
[22:55] <sofiankrt> ithicine: so which should I choose on this website? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy           for installing fwcutter?
[22:55] <usr13> Task1: What is your "new problem"?
[22:55] <Task1> Cuz my Vid cards not supported so I have to install manually
[22:55] <Task1> lol
[22:55] <con-man> and him apparantly
[22:55] <ChrisULM> hmm, works for numerous ati and nvidia cards for me
[22:55] <usr13> Task1: So, you are in console mode only?  Is that what you are saying.
[22:55] <con-man> the prove me wrong by answering my question :P
[22:55] <Task1> Window pops up and says ...  Could not open the file... blah blah     "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding......"
[22:55] <ChrisULM> what you need?
[22:56] <|Makubex|> someone has tested alfresco war on tomcat5.5 ?? needing some help getting it to work
[22:56] <ithicine> sofiankrt: if you're running 64 bit Ubuntu now, you need the 64 bit version of fwcutter if that's out now.  Haven't looked into fwcutter in ages since ndiswrapper is *amazingly* good at what it does
[22:56] <con-man> because im at my wits end
[22:56] <Task1> I am in terminal now and did the Bash    "Carry file over"
[22:56] <usr13> Task1: Don't use gedit
[22:56] <|DuReX|> I installed samba, it works on the same computer, but i can't access it with my windows pc :( i get error: 'Can't become connected user'
[22:56] <con-man> I have no idea what to do next
[22:56] <Task1> OK... what do I use and how?
[22:56] <usr13> Task1:   sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:56] <artimus> I've got a Kubuntu and a Xubuntu box.  Both have atheros wifi cards that work great when configured manually.  How can I make my wireless card(s) show up in Network Manager?
[22:56] <arooni> hey team ... i'm trying to log in via ssh to my desktop without having to type the password.  i've already run ssh-keygen on my ubuntu laptop, then appended the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key to my file of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my desktop ubuntu.... but when i ssh in .... i still have to type password... wtf?  ideas?   also, the sshd_config file already has public key authentication enableed
[22:56] <con-man> I hate setting up my video card in linux, it makes me want to cut myself
[22:56] <con-man> its that bad
[22:57] <ChrisULM> and you have an nvidia card?
[22:57] <con-man> yeah
[22:57] <usr13> Task1: But first, what do you get when you type   pwd  ?
[22:57] <ChrisULM> used the "restricted driver manager"?
[22:57] <con-man> yup
[22:57] <sofiankrt> ithicine: I've tried ndiswrapper with mandriva, but for some reason, it didn't work... so I got the impression that it doesn't work with my BCM94311 wireless card?
[22:57] <Task1> .   /home/task
[22:57] <con-man> and now it keeps going in to low graphics mode every time and I cant fix it
[22:57] <ChrisULM> very odd
[22:57] <usr13> Task1: cd Desktop
[22:58] <ithicine> sofiankrt: haha... just checked, seems there's really no difference between 32 bit and 64 bit for fwcutter... you just need to be sure your wireless drivers that you're cutting are 64 bit
[22:58] <con-man> I tried installing the nvidia driver off the website but that doesnt work
[22:58] <Task1> con man what chip you got?
[22:58] <con-man> 8800 GTS
[22:58] <Task1> ok now it says Desktop
[22:58] <usr13> Task1: NOW, what do you get when you type  pwd  ?
[22:58] <ithicine> sofiankrt: sure it'll work.  Just so long as you've got the right Windows drivers, and you've followed the guides on setting up ndiswrapper in 64 bit.  Which, by the way, is a major weakness of 64bit Ubuntu.  Getting wireless to work :S

[22:59] <alex1234> hey guys. i found a solution to the slow printing of pdf documents: user adobe reader instead of evince to print. it'll be much faster.
[22:59] <usr13> Task1:   sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy
[22:59] <ithicine> sofiankrt: I've had no issues at all with ndiswrapper on 32 bit Ubuntu, and I've got a Broadcom wifi chipset as well
[22:59] <ChrisULM> con-man, have you tried the envy script thing?
[22:59] <Task1> I love you
[22:59] <Task1> lol
[22:59] <RacerX> Wha?!
[22:59] <bmack> can someone help me install the right driver for my video card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
[23:00] <ithicine> sofiankrt: in fact, fwcutter doesn't support my wifi card at all.  Unsupported tranciever, apparently :S
[23:00] <erUSUL> !ati | bmack
[23:00] <ubotu> bmack: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[23:00] <Task1> I am never buying ATI again
[23:00] <ChrisULM> ati = balls
[23:00] <annonymouse> can i ask does any one have experiance in running cubase under ubuntu ?
[23:01] <ralph__> what is cubase?
[23:01] <nickrud> gotta give ati credit, their driver is moving fast
[23:01] <sofiankrt> ithicine: so what exactly should I do now?
[23:01] <usr13> Task1: Is it working for you?
[23:01] <Task1> yeah they are... but just so inconvient I wanna run linux and this is the reason I stoped last time
[23:01] <Creed> How do I "rm -rf" but exclude a file or folder?
[23:02] <bmack> ive enabled the driver that restricted driver manager gives me and it made where i cannot even boot into kubuntu
[23:02] <Task1> now I am trying to duke it out to get it working cuz My $300 vid card i gonna go to nothing if I dont
[23:02] <ChrisULM> both of my ati cards installed using the restricted driver thing
[23:02] <ithicine> sofiankrt: I'm not saying this is a one-size-fits-all solution, but based on experience with a fair bit of this kind of hardware I find 32 bit distributions with ndiswrapper nearly always gets the job done
[23:02] <usr13> Task1: You'll do well to do a little research before shopping for hardware.
[23:02] <ralph__> I have a  Pinnacle , any sugestions about what kind of prog is most comfortable to use to watch tele?
[23:03] <usr13> Task1: Nvidia would be a better choice, (for a Linux user.)
[23:03] <withoutahandle> hola!
[23:03] <ralph__> yes but Pinnacle is working no probs
[23:03] <ralph__> I use kdetv now
[23:04] <ralph__> but no options to record something
[23:04] <usr13> Task1: To tell the truth,  Nvidia has better driver software for both MS and Linux.
[23:04] <ithicine> sofiankrt: ndiswrapper is better supported, less experimental, and is generally known to get better performance than fwcutter when fwcutter works at all.  Can't wait for the day fwcutter matures enough to give equal support for bcm chipsets in native drivers, but that day hasnt come yet
[23:04] <Task1> :)
[23:04] <Creed> How do I "rm -rf" but exclude a file or folder?
[23:04] <ralph__> option --exclude /... file
[23:04] <Task1> I cant tell what dir I need to be in....
[23:05] <Task1> I need to run this now.. udo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb
[23:05] <Task1> no such file
[23:05] <ChrisULM> Task1, you can drag and drop the file in your terminal
[23:05] <sofiankrt> ithicine: I don't have to reinstall the whole distribution, do I? I don't want to go through that again! And I'm just 13
[23:05] <sofiankrt> !
[23:05] <ralph__> no good ideas about watching tele ?
[23:05] <sofiankrt> ithicine: I wiped my hd clean last time I played with ubuntu!
[23:05] <Task1> no I am following directions on a tutorial.... this is the next step
[23:05] <ChrisULM> Task1, you can type whatever commands you want to run on it, then just drop the file in there
[23:05] <Task1> here one sec
[23:06] <ithicine> sofiankrt: nope, you don't have to.  Generally all you need is to tidy the system up a bit.  ndiswrapper can be touchy that way.  You're on Ubuntu, right?
[23:06] <Task1> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[23:06] <ralph__> pinnacle card is working all right and a i am watching with kdetv now
[23:06] <sofiankrt> ithicine: no, I'm on mandriva
[23:06] <ChrisULM> one second
[23:06] <turbocueca> tho1, Hello how are you?
[23:06] <ConstyXIV> are there any gutsy packages for firefox 3 beta 2?
[23:06] <turbocueca> tho1, thank you very much for your help
[23:06] <Luge> Evening all.
[23:07] <Luge> I could really use some help upgrading from 5.10, if someone has time.
[23:07] <annonymouse> quick question  what fire wall would people recommend? im looking to hopfully (if i pull it off)  run a web server on my pc  and  ddns to a host  but dont wanna open ym pc up
[23:07] <turbocueca> tho1, I finally managed to make the wireless work
[23:07] <kitche> annonymouse: iptables it's part of Linux
[23:07] <turbocueca> tho1, using bcm43xx-fwcutter it managed to find the network
[23:07] <ChrisULM> Task1 that just means that you dont have fglrx previously on there
[23:07] <ithicine> sofiankrt: hrm.  I haven't touched that distro since the old days of Mandrake 5 or so.  According to google there's something called MCC that virtually sets it up for you
[23:07] <ChrisULM> Task1, you're good
[23:07] <Task1> ok and the next step too though
[23:07] <annonymouse> so whats firestarter as gui version?
[23:08] <turbocueca> tho1, gotta go bye
[23:08] <ithicine> sofiankrt: you just have to be sure you have the correct Windows drivers for your card handy to give to MCC
[23:08] <InGunsWeTrust> Does anybody knows how to make a script in nautalis only work for certain file types
[23:08] <Task1> says error processing.... bi such file or directory
[23:08] <tolecnal> hmmmm, compiz + flash player 9.0.105 just aren't friends at all :/
[23:08] <ithicine> sofiankrt: sorry I can't be of more help :)
[23:08] <Task1> no*
[23:08] <bajun> What i need to connect a "parallel to usb" printer, except standart ubuntu packages ung printconf?
[23:08] <sofiankrt> ithicine: Thank you! I'll try to use ndiswrapper to connect on ubuntu now!
[23:09] <kdubois> is there a command to ring the bell from the terminal?
[23:09] <ithicine> sofiankrt: there appears to be a reasonable guide for Mandriva at http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=91
[23:09] <ralph__> anyone an idea which prog to use to watch tele with a Pinnacle card?
[23:09] <tan__> has anyone managed to run clubbox on ubuntu?
[23:09] <terlmann> ok guys i NEED SOME special help : I have a copy of the latest wubi beta and a Kubuntu dvd containing , I don't know how, the files to conduct a regular installation for ubuntu and an alternate. the wubi installer needs me to somehow copy the part of the dvd that is the alternate install into a iso image.
[23:09] <InGunsWeTrust> What I want to do is write a script that will allow me to write click on an ISO and mount it as a cd rom
[23:09] <cdm10> kdubois: you could do perl -e "print chr 7;"
[23:09] <cdm10> kdubois: i'm sure there are better ways to do it, though
[23:09] <kitche> terlmann: wubi is unofficial and unsupported in here
[23:10] <terlmann> I didn't ask for that
[23:10] <terlmann> I have a dvd of ubuntu I want to split back up
[23:10] <terlmann> into iso files
[23:10] <ralph__> anyone an idea which prog to use to watch tele with a Pinnacle card?
[23:10] <kdubois> thanks cdm10
[23:10] <kitche> terlmann: yes but your using it for wubi but what you want it just be easier to download the alternate cd
[23:10] <terlmann> on dialup ?
[23:10] <DjViper> terlmann: why not just dl the cd iso?
[23:11] <terlmann> this is 14.4k here man
[23:11] <terlmann> shesh
[23:11] <DjViper> terlmann: order a copy then
[23:11] <terlmann> of the disk. Im still going to need to copy it back up.
[23:11] <cdm10> terlmann: are you on Ubuntu?
[23:11] <Luge> Does anyone know if all the old respository files for previous versions of ubuntu are still active, please?
[23:11] <BrOSs> is there a option to reboot your system and login as root by default?
[23:12] <cdm10> BrOSs: In the Grub menu, you can select Recovery Mode.
[23:12] <Luge> I'm trying to upgrade from 5.10, and can't download any of the updates to 6.06
[23:12] <cdm10> Luge: 6.06 is still supported, so i'm not sure why that's happening..
[23:12] <terlmann> cdm10 :nope
[23:12] <terlmann> windows
[23:12] <ralph__> to BrOs: just keep down gdm
[23:12] <BrOSs> cdm10: i just want to reboot in console mode as root
[23:12] <cdm10> terlmann: Most applications that let you copy discs let you copy them to a file image (iso)
[23:12] <terlmann> I can't convert this machine , it's not mine :-)
[23:12] <kdubois> BrOSs: although not advised, you can have gnome autologin root
[23:12] <Luge> cdm10: I have the updated version of the upgrade manager.
[23:12] <ralph__> sud su will do
[23:12] <ralph__> sudo su
[23:13] <cdm10> BrOSs: like I said, you can reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu.
[23:13] <Luge> cdm10: And it seems to be looking in the right place.
[23:13] <BrOSs> kdubois: i dont want that..
[23:13] <ralph__> yes
[23:13] <terlmann> cdm10 : one issue : I can't copy the whole disk. I have a dvd of ubuntu. I need the part of it that handles alternate install, as that is contained on the disk.
[23:13] <cdm10> Luge: Try a different package mirror. Not sure how to switch them on 6.06, though.
[23:13] <cdm10> terlmann: I'm not entirely sure you can do that...
[23:13] <ithicine> BrOSs: or you could edit the kernel line in grub and put the number 2 at the end of the line (after a space of course), then press b to boot
[23:14] <Luge> cdm10: Neither am I, although it's already trying two: http//securty.ubuntu.com... and http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com...
[23:14] <BrOSs> cdm10: do u mean failsafe?
[23:14] <ithicine> BrOSs: or put "init=/bin/bash rw" at the end of the kernel line and press b to boot.  That'll drop you directly to a prompt
[23:14] <Task1> omg
[23:15] <cdm10> BrOSs: I'm talking about the Grub menu.
[23:15] <NeonLightning> how would i be able to tell what /dev/hd would be ide0-ide3 and what /dev/hd would be what drive(i have a 80gig i wanna setup as a bootimage.img) i'm running ubuntu 6 something
[23:15] <Task1> Does anyone live in Jacksonville? I will pay them to do this dang thing
[23:15] <cdm10> BrOSs: when you reboot, keep hitting escape until you reach a menu.
[23:15] <BrOSs> cdm10: yah!
[23:15] <BrOSs> cdm10: that was my question
[23:15] <cdm10> BrOSs: then select Recovery Mode
[23:15] <BrOSs> cdm10: that is waht i was asking for
[23:15] <BrOSs> cdm10: thks =)
[23:15] <cdm10> np
[23:17] <heavyweather> I've got a problem. After grub boots Ubuntu, I just have a blank screen until X finally loads. Is there any way I can get some sort of boot screen?
[23:17] <smev81> i wonder if you can tell me where to find how-to-make-a-bootable-cd-that-can-grub-to-a-boot-partition-so-that-i-only-see-boot-menu-if-i-like-to
[23:17] <srbaker_> heya folks
[23:17] <con-man> I cannot enable the nvidia driver it keeps using the nv driver
[23:17] <nickrud> heavyweather,   sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , and look for the kernel lines with splash in them. Remove that word.
[23:18] <srbaker_> i was wondering if someone can give me a brief summary (or link with relevant info) about how the ati opensourcing thing might affect me
[23:18] <chrometiger> is there a way to check yahoo mail in evolution ??
[23:18] <srbaker_> i have a dell inspiron 9400 w/ ati x1400 and it's really poorly supported currently
[23:18] <terlmann> srbaker_ in a good way ^_^
[23:18] <ChrisULM> Task1, gimme a second
[23:18] <con-man> I try to install the nVidia driver off their website but when I run the settings manager I get the message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."  I do exactly that and go to run the settings manager but I get the same message again
[23:18] <nickrud> srbaker_, the newer drivers should support you very well, they'll be in the next ubuntu release
[23:18] <srbaker_> oh good
[23:19] <srbaker_> is there a way to get them into gutsy currently?
[23:19] <srbaker_> i also have an imac 20" with ATI HD2600, and an MBP with x1500 (i think)
[23:19] <srbaker_> whcih i'm hoping ot move to ubuntu as well
[23:19] <con-man> does anyone have any ideas?
[23:20] <con-man> tough crowd
[23:20] <nickrud> srbaker_, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide . Also, that wiki has some stuff about HD I think
[23:20] <srbaker_> nickrud: great, tahnks
[23:21] <con-man> I just wanna use linux like everyone else
[23:21] <con-man> but that doesnt seem possible the way things are going
[23:21] <NeonLightning> heh i know the feeling con-man try me beeing stuck with a messed up motherboard and only able to install from netinstall over 30kb/s
[23:21] <iSMa> hello
[23:21] <con-man> at least ppl help you in here. Im talking to a wall
[23:22] <terlmann> con-man
[23:22] <terlmann> your a con :-)
[23:22] <NeonLightning> con-man: i've haven't gotten an answer to the question i asked in the end i figured it out
[23:22] <terlmann> anyhow I would reboot
[23:22] <con-man> I just want to run dual head with compiz-fusion running
[23:23] <terlmann> dual-head is quite an issue
[23:23] <con-man> not really, Ive had it before
[23:23] <terlmann> xinimera or something like that does dual head
[23:23] <con-man> yes it does
[23:23] <terlmann> you have to set it up
[23:23] <lockd> I gave up figuring how to make apt use a different root for installing packages. Finally used chroot, because it's not ubuntu specific
[23:23] <NeonLightning> never tried compiz or dual monitor the best i've done is output to tv and monitor at the same time
[23:24] <heavyweather> Also, how can I make only terminal windows about 60% opaque as a default setting? I'm used to this in OS X, so I'm a little spoiled. Heh.
[23:24] <eracc> Who thought this was a good idea? " --- You have been invited to #ubuntu.com by Ubuworker "
[23:24] <con-man> what session should I be using "gnome"?
[23:24] <con-man> or that xscript
[23:24] <BehiiMehii> None of the movies play, I have ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs installed, but all I get is a pink choppy screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
[23:25] <lockd> heavyweather: which terminal?
[23:25] <con-man> BehiiMehii, install VLC
[23:25] <BehiiMehii> It gives me the same thing
[23:25] <nickrud> BehiiMehii, you mean movies on dvd?
[23:25] <con-man> O_o
[23:25] <BehiiMehii> No, just the ones on the computer
[23:25] <heavyweather> lockd, Gnome terminal, the one that comes with Ubuntu 7.10 by default
[23:25] <Luge> Does anyone know how I can tell if my user has root-like privilages?
[23:25] <nickrud> o_O
[23:25] <BehiiMehii> http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotvs3.png
[23:26] <BehiiMehii> That's what all movies on any format looks like
[23:26] <atomdog2003> I'm having trouble getting vnc installed on my 7.10
[23:26] <con-man> oh my gawd this is pissing me off.  it keeps defaulting to the nv driver no matter what I do
[23:26] <lockd> heavyweather: xfterm4 has it in edit>preferences>appearance
[23:26] <con-man> I cant get the nvidia driver
[23:26] <korosora> i love you guys. thanks for the great support being offered here.
[23:26] <con-man> support?
[23:27] <con-man> you get support here?
[23:27] <korosora> lol.
[23:27] <korosora> advice.?
[23:27] <korosora> maybes?
[23:27] <atomdog2003> how do I setup a VNC service on my 7.10 ?
[23:27] <con-man> I dont get any advice either
[23:27] <lockd> heavyweather: get that if gnome terminal doesn't support it
[23:27] <heavyweather> lockd, I'll give that a shot.
[23:27] <Task1> YAY!!!! IT WORKS!??!!!!!!
[23:27] <ubuntux> someone know a nice tool to bulk edit mp3 tags?
[23:28] <batis610> i want to rip some episodes from a dvd with multiple laguages and subtitles... which tool can i use?
[23:28] <nickrud> con-man, the someone you need isn't around right now, maybe later :)
[23:28] <Lagginator> When I do "sudo apt-get update" it says  "failed to fetch http://security...etc", whats wrong?
[23:29] <nickrud> Lagginator, it could be the repo is down
[23:29] <kyleBAKED> how can i get the text when i'm booting to be a different color? like when it [okay] or [fail], change the color of that
[23:29] <Lagginator> nickrud, so I should just try later?
[23:29] <ConstyXIV> are there any firefox 3 beta 2 packages for gutsy?
[23:29] <atomdog2003> to get a vnc service up I followed these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[23:29] <atomdog2003> I still can't get in via VNC :(
[23:29] <nickrud> Lagginator, yes, or try another mirror. You can change them in system->admin->software sources.
[23:30] <Lagginator> thank you nickrud
[23:30] <con-man> does anyone here have any idea how I can get the nvidia driver running?
[23:30] <con-man> it keeps defaulting to nv
[23:30] <atomdog2003> anyone know how to setup a VNC service on 7.10?

So far I've managed to get xorg.conf configured per the suggestions in the Xinerama HowTo and after crashing X a few times now it at least boots - but no second display (except a very ratty-looking clone when I press Fn-F8 which was working before I did all this). Help please.

[23:46] <erUSUL> psyphen: you can pass it to xargs for example (totally untested) deborphan | xargs sudo aptitude purge
[23:46] <scguy318> liquidengineer: why not? can you elaborate further?
[23:46] <carnage__> is there another place besides gnome-screensaver where i can set the time before my computer is marked as idle?
[23:46] <rkj> ardchoille ok, I'm patient. My first post seemed to not be all there.
[23:47] <liquidengineer> it boots up to a black screen, that just says something like "boot failure" or "failure to start or somesuch."
[23:47] <ardchoille> rkj: Ah, ok
[23:47] <liquidengineer> I didn't get the exact error, hold on

[23:50] <liquidengineer> is there anyway I can fix this without going through the whole install procedure again?
[23:50] <juan> and if a dialog pops up, it's between the two monitors and "broken in two"
[23:50] <Ace2016> hi all
[23:50] <Ace2016> anyone know how to hide the status info from the top of the top command,
[23:51] <Terfy> liquidengineer: you can install GRUB (again) manually. try google how

[23:54] <sofiankrt> ithicine: and I tried installing ndiswrapper, but whenever I 'su'ed and typed my password, it would say I'm not authorized to login. I su in all the time on mandriva

[23:55] <gauda> hello folks. i have got a question concerning ssh-connects: i was provided with a ppk-file. when connecting with putty it does not ask for a password, but when connecting via terminal it asks for a password:
[23:55] <gauda> ssh root@host.de -i .ssh/host.ppk
[23:55] <gauda> Enter passphrase for key '.ssh/host.ppk':
[23:55] <drgeb> what is the .dmrc directory for ?
[23:56] <sofiankrt> erichj: I tried doing that, but a bunch of gibberish appeared
[23:56] <kitche> gauda: it's asking for the key not the password
[23:56] <sofiankrt> erichj: I wasn't prompted for my passw
[23:56] <underdaw1> !flash
[23:56] <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
[23:56] <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.
[23:56] <gauda> kitche: what key do you mean?
[23:56] <Creationist> Could someone please tell me how I can convert a video to a lower resolution/quality to upload to YouTube?
[23:56] <Creationist> Right now it is just about DVD quality.
[23:57] <kitche> gauda: the key for host.ppk
[23:57] <Ace2016> Creationist: mencoder can do that
[23:57] <kitche> gauda: a key is sort of like a password but it's not
[23:57] <cb_k> sofiankrt: you should type sudo <comand> then
[23:57] <sofiankrt> I'm just lost here, can't connect to the internet
[23:57] <erUSUL> Creationist: mencoder; ffmpeg
[23:57] <cb_k> ask the password
[23:57] <sofiankrt> cb_k: ask the password?
[23:57] <gauda> hm but i dont have any. just wondering, because putty does not ask for a key/pw?!
[23:58] <rkj> I need help configuring a second monitor - can somebody help?
[23:58] <nuGzthk> how do i install new nvidia drivers??? mine are still out of date and cs runs slow. please help, thanks
[23:58] <sofiankrt> maybe I should just stick with mandriva... seems a whole lot easier to work with than ubuntu
[23:58] <kitche> gauda: yeah putty is dumb enough to ignore the key for the file
[23:58] <Ace2016> Creationist: there is a nice howto here, try that, or search the forums http://www.shahidhussain.com/blog/?p=32
[23:58] <phaedral> suppose I was some kind of oddball who wanted to have WM instead of gnome; where would you point me to?
[23:58] <gauda> hihi, ok, any chance to get this working on terminal?
[23:59] <cb_k> sofiankrt: you should type sudo <comand> then you will be prompted for your passw
[23:59] <gauda> if i just press enter it wont let me in
[23:59] <phaedral> gauda, why putty?  cygwin instead?
[23:59] <sofiankrt> cb_k: I wasn't! a bunch of gibberish appeared, and that was it
