[00:00] <jjgalvez> I may have to set this up as a dual boot if I can't get this to work, since 7.10 is already on this, if I install XP (after resizing the patrician) am I going to have any trouble, since I know that its recogmended to go the other way around?

[00:01] <Guerra> What do you mean, jjgalvez?
[00:01] <Dante124> jjgalvez  have you checked out infocus website and manual for troubleshooting?  Also does your laptop manual have any explanation about the fn-f8 key or whatever you use to adjust the resolution

[00:02] <thomas__> hi there
[00:02] <Guerra> I have two separate problems people. I would appreciate any and all help on the matter. Problem 1: I am unable to install the restricted drivers for my ATI 2900 PRO video card, and would really like to install it. Problem 2: I saved my sister's laptop from Vista, installed Ubuntu, and her touch pad isn't working. It's a Dell Inspiron 1501. I've tried forums, many, many guides, googling it, etc. So this is my last resort. Anyone have a
[00:02] <nickrud> marinosi: you need to choose if you're trying to set that file suid, you would use u+s
[00:02] <Dante124>  jjgalvez check out the troubleshooting part.
[00:02] <nickrud> marinosi: argh, lousy senence structure, I hope the idea got acroos
[00:03] <jjgalvez> Dante124, from what I can gather fn-f8 turns on and off the external monitor, I know the projector works with 1024,768 because thats what I used to use on my old XP laptop
[00:03] <thomas__> any germans in there?
[00:03] <andreus_> hello. would somebody tell me if using a mysql client meant for windows on ubuntu with wine.. does it require anything to see my mysql installed on linux.. some kind of a layer? shouldn't it just connect to host and port?

[00:03] <danny_> wireless wep is not connection can someone help
[00:04] <Leechzilla> Do I need to configure wpa_supplicant to get encryption working in Gutsy? I can't connect to WEP networks either
[00:05] <foso> hey all, im having trouble with watching videos on youtube, i had a pop-up the other day that said there was an update, but it doesnt see mt owork at all now
[00:05] <Kibbles_> guerra check out http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[00:05] <encrypt128bit> can someone tell me the difference between xubuntu, kubuntu and ubuntu. are they different builds?
[00:05] <mon^rch> hi all, still looking for a way to have a specific app open maximized every time. help please.
[00:06] <grim76> encrypt128bit, xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce, kubuntu is with kde, and ubuntu starts with gnome.
[00:06] <Vovk> encrypt128bit: they are different flavors. xubuntu uses XFCE, a lighter/faster window manager, kubuntu uses KDE which is the rival of Gnome, ubuntu uses Gnome.  each one is just left up to the personal taste of the user
[00:06] <Kibbles_> !flash
[00:06] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[00:07] <Vovk> !flash
[00:07] <Vovk> hmm
[00:07] <encrypt128bit> where do you get the different versions?
[00:07] <Vovk> having trouble deciding whether ubotu is a bot or not
[00:07] <jjgalvez> ok second question, if I make some room on my HD for XP, what trouble should I look out for when I install that for a dual boot? I've already installed ubuntu and would rather not reinstall that so I going to do it backwards.  Is it possible?
[00:07] <Vovk> encrypt128bit: they should all be on ubuntu.com
[00:07] <Starnestommy> Vovk: it is, but it has certain flood protection features in it
[00:07] <david__> Hi all, my vid card is blacklisted on gutsy (ati) - any hope for getting vid effects? Thanks!
[00:07] <Vovk> Starnestommy: thanks

[00:08] <encrypt128bit> Thanks vovk
[00:08] <Vovk> Kibbles_: :) i want one
[00:08] <Leechzilla> Do I need to install something to make WPA work? My card is working fine without encryption
[00:08] <Kibbles_> Vovk: umm, you're mis-perceiving the situation: it wants one of you
[00:09] <Kibbles_> lol
[00:09] <Vovk> Kibbles_: I'm not quite sure that mis-perceiving is actually a word... but im scared now
[00:09] <Kibbles_> !misperceiving
[00:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about misperceiving - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:09] <Leechzilla> How do I connect to a WPA network in Gutsy?
[00:09] <omegastat> Leechzilla: you may need to check your to make sure you have the correct passphrase or hexadecimal phrase entered
[00:09] <Vovk> your little green man has failed
[00:10] <Kibbles_> his english is bad
[00:10] <Leechzilla> omegastat: It's correct.
[00:10] <Vovk> anyway, we should not have a useless conversation here... this is for ubuntu support

[00:10] <patroy> help? :)
[00:10] <pike_> Leechzilla: sorry no direct exp with wpa ive stuck with wep personally because im lazy
[00:11] <Leechzilla> pike_: My WEP doesn't work either
[00:11] <pike_> patroy: did you use the skeleton template for your script?
[00:11] <Kibbles_> pike_: skeleton template?
[00:11] <cellwind929> hi, I am trying to install a Hauppage HVR-1600 in ubuntu, I have isntalled the driver, but am on the part where I have to copy the windows firmware files to a linux director and I don't know where that is. here are the instructions im following: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18
[00:11] <pike_> Leechzilla: wep should work out of box. like: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid somename  key 123213213; sudo dhclient wlan0  <-- in terminal
[00:12] <foso> Kibbles_ thanks ill check that out
[00:12] <Kibbles_> np
[00:12] <pike_> Kibbles_: the skeleton file in init.d dir is what i meant
[00:13] <Leechzilla> pike_: I'm using wicd, not network-manager. Network Manager eats up my CPU like crazy, like 50%
[00:13] <diamond5pam> z

[00:14] <tantric132> Hey all I have a quick question about Swap space. I'm about to install ubuntu for the first time. I have two 74gig partitions. one, XP will be installed and the other will be ubuntu. my question is how do I make swap space? i have another hard drive too if that helps
[00:14] <Leechzilla> :(
[00:14] <Kibbles_> pike_: cool... thanks
[00:14] <pike_> Leechzilla: well just turn off wep or wpa for now. can you just connect?
[00:15] <jjgalvez> can I install XP after I've already installed Ubuntu?
[00:15] <Leechzilla> pike_: yes
[00:15] <omegastat> Tantric132: Ubuntu will make it's own swap space when you install
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jjgalvez: yes
[00:15] <pike_> Leechzilla: ok is this a lappy or desktop computer?
[00:15] <amenado> tantric132-> during installation's partitioning phase, select new paritition and assign space to it, also making it swap type
[00:15] <nickrud> tantric132: of the 74 you gave to ubuntu, cut off about 2xram, up to about 2gb for swap
[00:15] <Leechzilla> pike_: but I need encryption
[00:15] <tantric132> but when I installed it before it said that there was no swap space assigned and that it was recommeded to add it
[00:15] <Leechzilla> pike_: Laptop
[00:15] <cellwind929> Jack_Sparrow: I just searched for it, I do not have a Drivers/Driver18/ folder
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jjgalvez: You just need to setup grub manually, if ubuntu goes on last it does that for you
[00:16] <jjgalvez> jack_sparrow, anything I need to look out for? what about the boot record, will I still be able to boot into ubuntu when I'm done or will I have to fix something?
[00:16] <pike_> Leechzilla: oh.. youd prefer not to use the terminal to connect?
[00:16] <nickrud> tantric132: yes, make two partitions out of the 74gb for ubuntu
[00:16] <Jack_Sparrow> cellwind929: That tutorial does not tell us anything
[00:16] <Leechzilla> pike_: yeah
[00:16]  * Kibbles_ is out. thanks all
[00:17] <cellwind929> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, it just assumes that I know where to put the firmware files, thats why I thought someone here might know
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jjgalvez: You will only have windows after you install windows
[00:17] <tantric132> nickrud, i have premade partitions if this helps. I am running the live cd atm. my plan is to reboot, install XP first on the empty unallocated part of the drive(74.52GB). then I will install ubuntu on the ext3 partition I have made(74.53GB)
[00:17] <nathan64> Jack_Sparrow: are you busy?
[00:17] <jjgalvez> Jack_sparrow, but my ubuntu install will still be there right? just not bootable until I reinstall grub right?
[00:18] <nickrud> tantric132: yes, that will work.
[00:18] <tantric132> nickrud, and also if it helps, when im installing ubuntu and it ask for which option I would like to do with partitoning, there is like 3 options. one is split the selected partition in half, the other is to creat a new partition and the last is manual
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan64: Yes a bit..  is it a quick question?
[00:18] <tantric132> nickrud, so which do I choose?
[00:18] <tantric132> when in installation
[00:18] <nathan64> Jack_Sparrow: sort of
[00:18] <nickrud> tantric132: use guided partitioning
[00:18] <pike_> Leechzilla: for wep you could use gtkwifi instead of network manager umm with wpa_sup i dont think there is a good front end other than network manager
[00:19] <pike_> Leechzilla: the upside is im very often wrong
[00:19] <tantric132> nickrud, thanks for the help. off to do that now!
[00:19] <iDivine> Anizuka, Lol....Anyone helping you?
[00:20] <Leechzilla> pike_: I want to use it with wicd
[00:20] <tantric132> nickrud, last thing. guided partitioning is the one where i have to select a %? default is 50%. right? should I do 50%?
[00:20] <Anizuka> idivine: no.. =P
[00:20] <nathan64> Jack_Sparrow: can i pm you?
[00:20] <pike_> Leechzilla: broadcom?
[00:20] <Anizuka> idivine: didnt ask ;P
[00:20] <Leechzilla> pike_: Intel
[00:21] <hsuh> anyone here has urxvt with a customized font? i'm having with gutsy
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan64: In channel please.. I can already tell this isnt a quick question, or at least the answer is not
[00:21] <iDivine> Anizuka, Oh, Btw instead of typing my whole name, try, iDi and press tab ;P
[00:21] <hsuh> *having problems*
[00:21] <Anizuka> idi?
[00:21] <julz> Whenever I start Terminal, it logs me out... Does anyone know why? I have tried reinstalling to no avail
[00:21] <hsuh> julz: check your .bashrc or .zshrc or something like that
[00:21] <hsuh> julz: maybe temporarly rename it
[00:22] <nickrud> tantric132: I don't remember it that way; look at pointing your install at the empty partition, and letting it define how it will break it up into system or swap. If you have problems with finding what you want, come back and someone (I'll be around more later) will walk you through manual if necessary
[00:22] <hsuh> or not.. i dunno. i'd do that.
[00:22] <jjgalvez> jack_sparrow, so if i install XP my ubuntu install will still be there, just not bootable right?
[00:22] <julz> hsuh: where are these located? sorry im still learning all this
[00:22] <nickrud> tantric132: that should have read system and swap above
[00:22] <pike_> Leechzilla: try the fix near the bottom of this thread maybe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419806
[00:22] <ahave> could someone tell me how to tell what drivers my wifi card is using?
[00:22] <Qwexer> I access a network at work but I can only get to a folder and not the actual drive so I cant mount the drive but I can make a perm link, where can I find where that link is created in the tree?
[00:22] <tantric132> nickrud, ok thanks bud.
[00:22] <nathan64> Jack_Sparrow: I have this issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/54621 I want to update my kernel to whats in the hardy alpha so I dont get it anymore. How would i go about doing that?
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> jjgalvez: correct, as long as you dont let XP write over that partition
[00:23] <Starnestommy> nathan64: I think there's going to be a bug fix for that in gutsy in a couple days
[00:23] <david__> hello all, I'm having trouble watching dvd movies on gutsy. Any help would be highly appreciated!
[00:23] <jjgalvez> Jack_Sparrow, thanks I'll give a shot tonight
[00:23] <hsuh> julz: on your home. but if you haven't messed with those already forget about it
[00:24] <julz> hsuh: ohk well i havent touched them yet. This problem has been here since i installed gutsy, i've managed without it tillnow though
[00:24] <nathan64> Starnestommy: really? :S
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan64: That is a question for +1,   but you should be able to install the hardy kernel deb...
[00:24] <Anizuka> can someone help? every time I try clicking 'extra' in the visual effects, it always says that the composite extension is not available.
[00:24] <Starnestommy> nathan64: wait, maybe not, I had it confused with the vmsplice problem
[00:25] <hsuh> julz: try xterm for now :P
[00:25] <nickrud> nathan64: not advised, but if you must https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/54621/comments/53 has good instructions
[00:25] <julz> hsuh: i install that through synaptic? and will it just be under applications?
[00:25] <Tommck> I have an interesting problem that I've been trying to resolve.  I need a custom driver for my disk controller.  I am installing Gutsy Server....
[00:25] <ridge-meister> what's the best way to access youtube pics and videos using a dialup connection?  I am using firefox, and it's taking FOREVER!
[00:26] <nathan64> nickrud: I tried that, it didnt work
[00:26] <hsuh> xterm just "exists". try to run from somewhere.. type xterm and be happy
[00:26] <Tommck> I created my own install CD by adding the compiled driver to the initrd.gz file.
[00:26] <Tommck> this worked, but my machine won't boot.
[00:26] <nickrud> nathan64: what it didn't work, that will install the proper kernel
[00:26] <Tommck> is there somewhere else I should be adding that?
[00:26] <Tommck> anyone else every created their own install CD for Ubuntu? :)
[00:26] <_Oz_> yes
[00:27] <_Oz_> that's pretty common though
[00:27] <camelinvan> yes
[00:27] <_Oz_> download, burn to CD, etc
[00:27] <Tommck> no.. _Oz_ I modified their CD to add a driver
[00:27] <Tommck> mounted the ISO.
[00:27] <nickrud> !doesntwork | nathan64
[00:27] <ubotu> nathan64: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[00:27] <Tommck> zcat the initrd.gz | cpio -i
[00:27] <ahave> could someone tell me how to tell what drivers my wifi card is using?
[00:27] <Tommck> then went and added a compiled driver to it
[00:27] <camelinvan> How do I install Kino.  I can't make out why it won't install?
[00:27] <Tommck> recreated the initrd.gz
[00:27] <Tommck> recreated the ISO
[00:27] <Tommck> then installed
[00:28] <Tommck> this worked, but... it won't boot after install now
[00:28] <Tommck> so I'm guessing there's another spot I need to put this other driver
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter | Tommck:
[00:28] <ubotu> Tommck:: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[00:29] <nails> does anyone have any experience with ubuntu and mythtv?
[00:29] <KebertXel4> Having some problems getting uTorrent's WebUI working (using wine)
[00:29] <Tommck> nails - I do
[00:29] <hsuh> julz: isn't there a shortcut that opens a box you can call a command?
[00:29] <frank23> nails: #ubuntu-mythtv is the best channel for mythtv
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> KebertXel4:   Try asking in #Winehq
[00:30] <nathan64> nickrud: I could tell you what it says but my mouse stops working and I have to reboot
[00:30] <nails> frank23: thanks
[00:30] <Jarjar_> Anyone know how to fix "Database Locked - Adept Installer"? If I click yes, it tries unlocking and then crashes.
[00:30] <nickrud> nathan64: try ctl-alt-backspace , or alt-f1 and use the arrow keys
[00:30] <Tommck> so, my bad IRC etiquette aside, nobody knows how to fix my installation?
[00:30] <nickrud> nathan64: shouldn't have to reboot, unless your kernel is bad ;)
[00:30] <KebertXel4> thx Jack_Sparrow
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:31] <julz> hsuh: do you mean Applications-->Acessories-->Terminal/XTerm?   That is the terminal I cannot get to work! :)
[00:31] <hsuh> hm
[00:31] <julz> hsuh: I can create a launcher and see how that goes
[00:31] <hsuh> do that !
[00:31] <Sadneophyte> does anyone know of any benchmarks which show a large speed increase from amd64 over i386?
[00:31] <hsuh> create a launcher for a command named xterm
[00:31] <levander> After firefox has been up and running for awhile (like a couple of days), I have to restart it because it's using so much CPU.  Are other people having this problem?
[00:32] <ahave> could someone tell me how to tell what drivers my wifi card is using?
[00:32] <nickrud> levander: if I have much in the way of flash usage, yes
[00:32] <evil_tech> whats the dd syntax to write zeroes to a drive
[00:32] <Sadneophyte> levander I was about to type the same thing... close flash webpages
[00:32] <julz> hsuh: HAHA! it worked! thankyou! ill use this now till the next update and hopefully all will be well then. Thanks mate! cya :)
[00:33] <cellwind929> hi, I am trying to install a Hauppage HVR-1600 in ubuntu, I have isntalled the driver, but am on the part where I have to copy the windows firmware files to a linux director and I don't know where that is. here are the instructions im following: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18
[00:33] <Jarjar_> For my Database Locked problem, it started after I finished installing about 150 updates, and I tried restarting already.
[00:34] <POCoz> Woah, a ton of people here.
[00:34] <nickrud> cellwind929: that *should* be /lib/firmware
[00:34] <Tommck> OK, trying one more time:  I am trying to fix an install (done it twice now).  I added a driver to the initrd.gz file on the Gutsy Server ISO.  This allowed it to see my RAID card.  THe OS installs fine, but will not boot (I can get the message).  I believe the installation doesn't have the driver.  Is there a way I can get it there?
[00:34] <robcalewar> is compiz fusion working after the update today?
[00:35] <nathan64> nickrud: which line do I comment out so it doesnt try to update everything?
[00:35] <JoshJ> so i managed to be an idiot and screw up my sound this morning
[00:35] <cellwind929> nickrud: thanks, thats probably it, ill give it a shot
[00:35] <nickrud> nathan64: as long as you only do exactly those steps (add the repo, update, install <one> package, disable the repo, then update again, you're safe
[00:35] <Anizuka> can someone help? every time I try clicking 'extra' in the visual effects, it always says that the composite extension is not available.
[00:36] <JoshJ> basically i installed the realtek driver(from their site) this morning because i thought the sound was broken
[00:36] <JoshJ> turns out i just had the speaker off (durr)
[00:36] <JoshJ> and now it's not working, i need to get it out and put the ubuntu default sound stuff back in
[00:36] <nickrud> nathan64: for apt-get purposes, update means get the list of available packages, and upgrade means install everything that has a new version. You will not be running any upgrades, only one install
[00:36] <Jarjar_> Can anyone help me with my Adept problem?
[00:37] <pike_> cellwind929: im assuming it should go to the lib firmware dir at /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/  could be wrong
[00:37] <korte1975> helo
[00:37] <nathan64> nickrud: ok thanks im doing that right now
[00:37] <korte1975> how r u people?
[00:38] <korte1975> i`m new to linux
[00:38] <zubuntu> is there a way i can see what is using my processor? The monitor says it is 90-100% in use, but in System Monitor, no program claims to be using it
[00:38] <ader10> i m fine ty for asking korte1975
[00:38] <cellwind929> pike_: thanks, I'm not sure what you mean buy /$
[00:38] <nickrud> pike_: the kernel subdir is for stuff provided with ubuntu, the parent is for other stuff (like my broadcom firmware)
[00:38] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems with my Linksys wifi usb and Ubuntu (Gutsy) thinking that it is disconnected completely
[00:38] <JoshJ> zubuntu: top?
[00:38] <mneptok> zubuntu: top or htop
[00:39] <pike_> nickrud: so just /lib/firmware?
[00:39] <olskolirc> hi hi:  I just installed a WinTV-PVR tv tuner card and I can't get any of my applications to work.  xawtv - kdetv - and tvtime
[00:39] <olskolirc> how can I get some tv :-(
[00:39] <DrBeaverhausen> I'm having an issue with foxytunes addon for firefox.
[00:39] <nickrud> pike_: yes, that should be sufficient. That way if he ever uninstalls -14, the newer kernel will still find the firmware
[00:39] <zubuntu> JoshJ, and mneptok thanks
[00:40] <hsuh> olskolirc: i can't tell you how to get some tv but i can tell you how to get more free time ;)
[00:40] <pike_> cellwind929: just /lib/firmware  so to drop it there youll run gksu nautilus from the terminal  be very carefule as that is running as root and navigate to that dir and drop the fw files there
[00:40] <zubuntu> now i have another question why would my network manager be using almost 80% of my processing power?
[00:40] <nathan64> nickrud: it says couldnt find package linux-image-2.6.24-4-generic
[00:40] <olskolirc> what is free time hsuh ?
[00:40] <hsuh> osfameron: don't watch TV!""
[00:40] <cellwind929> pike_: thanks!
[00:40] <pike_> nickrud: i see. thanks
[00:41] <pike_> cellwind929: have fun. its a cool card i hear
[00:41] <mneptok> zubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[00:41] <DrBeaverhausen> Does anybody know how to get foxytunes to work with amarok?
[00:41] <JoshJ> so does anyone know how to re-install the ubuntu sound stuff and get it back working after you mess it up?
[00:42] <cellwind929> pike_: yeah, its 60 dollars at circuit city. so i jumped on it, im just new to compiling stuff myself, hopefully i can get it working with mythtv
[00:42] <craigevil> DrBeaverhausen: foxytunes should work with amarok without a problem
[00:42] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems with my Linksys wifi usb and Ubuntu (Gutsy) thinking that it is disconnected completely. Disconnecting and then reconnecting it doesn't help.
[00:42] <pike_> cellwind929: myth and the hauppaugh cards are made for each other usually it shouldnt be bad
[00:42] <Tommck> cellwind929 - you should try the #mythtv-users channel or the #ubuntu-mythtv channel... might have more luck
[00:42] <cellwind929> Tommck: thanks, ill ask there
[00:43] <DrBeaverhausen> Amerok isn't listed on the players list.
[00:43] <DrBeaverhausen> I read about other people having the same problem, but the thread was real limited.
[00:43] <trash80> has anyone here ever used google ?
[00:44] <Tommck> trash80 - we don't use those newfangled InterNets things...
[00:44] <nickrud> nathan64: there's possibly a new release. you'll have to search thru synaptic to see if there's a later -X-generic
[00:44] <trash80> ok, I was wondering :)
[00:44] <Tommck> we use things like TRS-80s :)
[00:44] <apetrescu> Is anyone else having problems connecting to the ca.archive.ubuntu.com repository?
[00:44] <nathan64> nickrud: ah I thought alpha 4 was the latest one
[00:45] <Ashfire908> apetrescu, it fails to return a ping
[00:45] <olskolirc> bbl
[00:45] <pike_> apetrescu: looks to be down
[00:45] <nickrud> nathan64: that's not how kernels are numbered, they don't take the alpha release. That was coincidental in the bug report
[00:46] <apetrescu> Anyone know why/how long until it's fixed?
[00:46] <JoshJ> anyone here know how to fix ubuntu sound issues? i'm looking to go back to default ubuntu sound settings, right now i get: ~$ alsamixer
[00:46] <JoshJ> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[00:46] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems with my Linksys wifi usb and Ubuntu (Gutsy) thinking that it is disconnected completely. Disconnecting and then reconnecting it doesn't help.
[00:46] <Ashfire908> apetrescu, i would just use another server till it's up again. but i don't know when that will be
[00:47]  * Tommck wants the install gods to fix his machine
[00:47] <apetrescu> Ashfire908, kay, thanks, that's what I'll do :)
[00:47] <nickrud> nathan64: it's -7-generic now
[00:47] <ahave> could someone help me identify what drivers my wifi card is using?
[00:48] <Guerra> ahave, which laptop?
[00:48] <ahave> Guerra, do you mean which wifi card?
[00:48] <Guerra> yeah
[00:49] <ahave> alfa network, using realtek 8187 chipset
[00:49] <j_humphrey> is it possible to encrypt a partition after you install ubuntu on it?
[00:50] <j_humphrey> or even jsut my /home partition
[00:50] <linxeh> j_humphrey: encrypting the root partition would be hard (but not impossible I imagine). /home should be doable quite easily
[00:50] <Tommck> can anyone help me with raid card driver issues?
[00:50] <linxeh> or you could just have an encrypted file which you mount with loopback I guess
[00:51] <Tommck> LVM supports encrypted partitions, right?
[00:52] <ubuntu> !bluetooth
[00:52] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[00:52] <Tommck> if someone helps me, I'll give that person a cookie
[00:53] <Tommck> a big cookie?
[00:53] <trash80> lol
[00:53] <ahave> could someone help me identify what drivers my wifi card is using? (realtek chipset 8187)
[00:53] <Che-Anarc> What is a makefile? and how do I compile it?
[00:53] <Tommck> ahave - use "dmesg" and look through it... it will say something about the drivers used during boot
[00:54] <Tommck> Che-Anarc - a makefile tells you how to compile.
[00:54] <Tommck> Che-Anarc - usually there's a "README" file in the directory with something that requires compilation, telling you how to compile and install it
[00:55] <Che-Anarc> Yes but this one says "I assume reader has understand of C & Makefiles
[00:55] <Tommck> Che-Anarc - run "make" in that directory
[00:55] <Tommck> Che-Anarc - if you don't have make, run "sudo apt-get install build-essential" first :)
[00:56]  * Tommck is hoping that helping people will help him through ubuntu karma
[00:56] <Che-Anarc> Thats cool... It tried to run something... but I think I'm missing some stuff... thanks.
[00:56] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems with my Linksys wifi usb and Ubuntu (Gutsy) thinking that it is disconnected completely. Disconnecting and then reconnecting it doesn't help.
[00:57] <Tommck> gandalfcome - sounds magically messy
[00:57] <gandalfcome> Tommck: what?
[00:57] <XredX> hey would anyone know why when i were to try to run the update manager in Gutsy it would want to run a partial upgrade but then fail saying that my system is up to date?
[00:57] <XredX> no matter how many times i run it or restart i get the same error
[00:58] <_Oz_> what's faster: a celeron 2.2ghz or a p4 2.2ghz?
[00:58] <j_humphrey> i'd say amd
[00:59] <XredX> i would assume P4
[00:59] <nathan64> nickrud: ok I installed it, I tried to use restricted drivers manager and it says I have to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-7-generic. should I do that?
[00:59] <Tommck> well, I guess everyone hates me in here, so I'll just throw my server out the window and call it a day
[00:59] <j_humphrey> sounds good
[00:59] <trash80> hehe
[01:00] <j_humphrey> :P
[01:00] <Jangari> is there a config file that gets run on login, where i can stick in custom commands?
[01:00] <Tommck> this is the official "support" channel and not the official "ignore Tommck" channel, right?
[01:00] <Jangari> oh, holy sh|t, i should be able to throw a command in sessions, right?
[01:01] <trash80> Tommck, I was told to come here for some stress relief :D
[01:01] <Dimitree> Is there something like Dreamwaver for Ubuntu ? I need the Dreamwaver future to edit pages in Design mode ?
[01:01] <trash80> aptana
[01:01] <mEck0> hi! how can I select a group of directories in midnight commander? * just selects all files, not dir's
[01:02] <Tommck> trash80 - I do find it quite annoying that, out of the 15 million people on this channel, nobody will help.  Oh well... I'll grab another glass of wine and brainstorm
[01:02] <Dimitree> trash80, was that for me ?
[01:02] <trash80> yes
[01:02] <trash80> Dimitree, yes
[01:02] <Dimitree> ou ok thank you :)
[01:02] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, repeat your problem.
[01:02] <tcpdumpgod> Im about to help everyone @ once.
[01:02] <end38> hello
[01:02] <tcpdumpgod> Cause im a genius like that.
[01:03] <trash80> Dimitree, its not as good as dreamweaver, but close as you'll get in linux
[01:03] <Onyx> what's a good tool for ripping audio cds to ogg files?
[01:03] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - I am trying to fix an install (done it twice now).  I added a driver to the initrd.gz file on the Gutsy Server ISO.  This allowed it to see my RAID card.  THe OS installs fine, but will not boot (I can get the message).  I believe the installation doesn't have the driver.  Is there a way I can get it there?
[01:03] <Hammer89> anyone have any idea why compiz would fail to initiate a large percentage of the time I start my computer?
[01:03] <nickrud> nathan64: yes
[01:03] <exneo> hey anybody know how to add music and online radio stations in elisa media center
[01:03] <zaivaldi> Onyx, sound juicer
[01:03] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Greetings. I've installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory here (Gutsy) and everything works fine, except that it doesn't fetch any servers on the server list.... Any ideas?
[01:03] <Onyx> zaivaldi: thanks
[01:03] <exneo> plz I want to add a few stations and my rythmbox music
[01:04] <Dimitree> trash80, i am unable to find it with the Add/Remove ? is this third party ?

[01:04] <trash80> Dimitree, no goto their website and get the zip file, then look in the wiki for the linux install how to
[01:04] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod :)
[01:04] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, do you have hardware or software raid setup?
[01:04] <nickrud> nathan64: I'm off for a bit, bbl
[01:04] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - hardware
[01:04] <speedcore> is nfs generally faster than smbd with ubuntu?
[01:04] <exneo> anybody
[01:04] <Dimitree> thank you trash80 :)
[01:05] <trash80> np
[01:05] <nathan64> nickrud: ok thanks
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, whats the make and model of your card, and what kinda raid array do you have set up in the hardware raid controllers configuration?
[01:05] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - but the driver is not supported directly.  I have compiled it on another gutsy machine
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> RAID 1, 5?
[01:05] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> I've installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory here (Gutsy) and everything works fine, except that it doesn't fetch any servers on the server list.... Any ideas?
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, make and model of the RAID card?
[01:05] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - highpoint rr1740 - doing raid 1 on this machine
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> Is it SATA RAID Tommck ?
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, 2 SCSI drives?
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> mirroring
[01:05] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - sata mirrored
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> sata mirrored.
[01:05] <tcpdumpgod> Okay, i can fix this no sweat.
[01:06] <tcpdumpgod> The problem is, is that you're installing grub on both drives.
[01:06] <zaivaldi> ZaphodBeeblebrox, what about the filters?
[01:06] <Aaron> thats wack
[01:06] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - huh?
[01:06] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - it shouldn't know about 2 drives
[01:06] <exneo> so how do I add tracks and online stations to elisa aron
[01:06] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, does your raid controller get recognized on boot?
[01:06] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - yes
[01:06] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> zaivaldi: All deactivated, except for the password one. I even disabled the "full/empty" filter
[01:06] <tcpdumpgod> okay, so it sees one drive correct?
[01:07] <tcpdumpgod> or "one drive"
[01:07] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - yes
[01:07] <exneo> help plz
[01:07] <tcpdumpgod> Well Tommck since it cant distinguish between /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, its installing grub on the MBR of both drives.
[01:07] <tcpdumpgod> Cause it sees it as 1 drive.
[01:07] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod there is only one drive
[01:07] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod the raid-1 makes it look like a single drive to the OS
[01:07] <Tommck> it just needs a disk controller driver
[01:08] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, thats what im saying dude.
[01:08] <tcpdumpgod> the ROM on the hardware raid controller takes care of the mirroring.
[01:08] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - right
[01:08] <exneo> plz I need online radio in elisa more stations
[01:08] <tcpdumpgod> So it makes the OS SEE IT AS ONE DRIVE.
[01:08] <Onyx> One more question with regard to ripping to ogg -- what would the 'quality
[01:08] <tcpdumpgod> Right?
[01:08] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - yes
[01:08] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - it runs at a BIOS level
[01:08] <Onyx> One more question with regard to ripping to ogg -- what would the 'quality' equivalent to 320kbps be in ogg vobis?
[01:08] <tcpdumpgod> Tommck, when you install the os, it sees the one drive /dev/sda correct?
[01:08] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - yes
[01:09] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - so yes.. it physically writes it to 2 disks....
[01:09] <LadyNikon> exneo: someone can help they can.  Also check the forums.
[01:09] <kova> hello.
[01:09] <zaivaldi> ZaphodBeeblebrox, dont have any idea.. versions are ok?
[01:09] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - but the machine is never aware of that
[01:09] <putnum> can you stream music over RDP?
[01:09] <tcpdumpgod> so Tommck if breaks the 1 mirrors down to two partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, then its breaking down the 1st and 2nd drive because they're mirroring right?
[01:09] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> zaivaldi: Just downloaded the latest version (2.60)
[01:09] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> :(
[01:09] <Tommck> tcpdumpgod - no.. they can't be seen as different drives
[01:09] <tcpdumpgod> Are you following me man?
[01:10] <zaivaldi> i use 2.60 too
[01:10] <kova> i am using irssi. is there a way to change the "wc" command to close windows? i'm trying to manage my diarrhea condition by not thinking about it and the command is not really handy :(
[01:10] <NemesisD> join #linux
[01:10] <NemesisD> whoops
[01:10] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> I've installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory here (Gutsy) and everything works fine, except that it doesn't fetch any servers on the server list.... All filters but "password protected" are disabled. Any ideas?
[01:11] <LadyNikon> kova: try #irssi or irssi.org
[01:11] <Lizard787> I have a dsdt.hex file to fix sound for my toshiba laptop it said to enter it into the kernel how would i do that?
[01:11] <kovinha> thanks LadyNikon :)
[01:11] <LadyNikon> kovinha: i would try irrsi.org first.. #irssi aren't the greatest on help.  They idle alot.
[01:12] <Leechzilla> kovinha: Change it? What do you mean?
[01:12] <kovinha> an alias to the command
[01:12] <Leechzilla> kovinha: /alias <aliasname> wc
[01:12] <kovinha> wc is not really helpful on my condition
[01:12] <kovinha> ohh
[01:12] <kovinha> thanks :D
[01:12] <LadyNikon> Leechzilla: that probably wont work inside irssi
[01:12] <kovinha> alias close added
[01:12] <kovinha> thanks :)
[01:13] <Leechzilla> LadyNikon: Why wouldn't it?
[01:13] <LadyNikon> Leechzilla: dunno if irssi handles aliases from inside.. I could be wrong.
[01:13] <Leechzilla> LadyNikon: It does.
[01:13] <Leechzilla> kovinha: I use /close too :P

[01:18] <leeping> Hey there, I'm running into a simple problem with copying operating systems.  I have a 250GB HD with my OS on it, and I also have an empty 500GB HD.  I installed Ubuntu on the 500GB using the LiveCD (just for the partitioning), and then I deleted the whole file tree on the 500GB and copied the file tree on the 250GB over.  However, I'm getting a "GRUB Hard Disk Error" if I boot up with the 500gb
[01:19] <Jangari> question: i'
[01:19] <Jangari> oops
[01:19] <bazhang> did the recent updates (last few hours or so) mean the exploit is already fixed?
[01:19] <luis> hi
[01:19] <leeping> What am I doing wrong?  Is there a better way for me to copy the entire contents of my 250GB onto the 500GB, and have the 500GB work as my primary HD with OS and all?

[01:20] <Jangari> i'm putting a custom command, an sshfs command into my sessions startup programs. This sshfs command prompts for a password, but the man sshfs page doesn't say where you can put the password in the one command, so how would I write it as a single command line?
[01:21] <leeping> craigevil: I tried that, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.  I mounted my second HD, chrooted to its root directory, and ran grub-install --recheck --no-floppy

[01:23] <newnvidia> craigevil: it's not as if xserver crashed or anything.  hrm.
[01:23] <||bass> Does anyone know how to have programs iconify in the style of GNUStep/WindowMaker (without actually using windowmaker) in a relatively standard gnome setup?
[01:23] <leeping> Recovering from live-cd sounds like a good idea :) Let me attempt that .. thanks a lot!
[01:23] <||bass> i.e. no task bar
[01:23] <leeping> I'll lose my internet when I try this, so I'm parting now
[01:23] <leeping> thanks again
[01:23] <craigevil> newnvidia: i would reset the card , at worst you can modift xorg using the liveccd
[01:23] <newnvidia> craigevil: like reseat it?

[01:34] <Gothfunc> craigevil: already there

[01:35] <demonspork>  Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem.

[01:36] <roddersg> simps, can't you get that from Gnome System>System Monitor ?
[01:36] <demonspork>  When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday.

[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> PRAEDO: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:37] <leeping2008> Could it be that I used a livecd with a different kernel? i.e. the livecd had a 64-bit kernel
[01:38] <Gothfunc> does anyone else know if the firefly ir receiver lets you use any household remote with lirc/irrecord?

[01:39] <leeping2008> Hey there, I'm running into a simple problem with copying operating systems.  I have a 250GB HD with my OS on it, and I also have an empty 500GB HD.  I installed Ubuntu on the 500GB using the LiveCD (just for the partitioning), and then I deleted the whole file tree on the 500GB and copied the file tree on the 250GB over.  However, I'm getting a "GRUB Hard Disk Error" if I boot up with the 500gb
[01:39] <leeping2008> What am I doing wrong?  Is there a better way for me to copy the entire contents of my 250GB onto the 500GB, and have the 500GB work as my primary HD with OS and all?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> kovinha: May I have a quick pm
[01:40] <kovinha> aye! arrr
[01:40] <simps> roddersg, but i would like to get it from a command so i can use a php bot to read it :P, i dunno another way to find it ;x
[01:40] <roddersg> simps - try tc - show/change traffic stats
[01:40] <Lizard787> I have a dsdt.hex file to fix sound for my toshiba laptop it said to enter it into the kernel how would i do that?
[01:41] <thom_> list
[01:41] <j_> whats the command for nvida-setting
[01:41] <roddersg> simps, cmd "ip" and some of the parameters e.g. ip link show
[01:42] <thom_> i think nvidia is a restricted driver.....
[01:42] <brandonc503> im trying to edit the my.cnf file but says Operation not permitted to cmod.. can i chown?
[01:42] <thom_> try it!
[01:42] <simps> roddersg, i don't know what those parameters mean ;x
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow>  File xorgconf found in ltsp-server
[01:43] <thom_> only takes a second to chown
[01:43] <leeping2008> I've gotten to the point where I used the LiveCD to install GRUB onto my 500GB hard drive (the one with a complete Ubuntu filesystem, but wouldn't boot)
[01:43] <leeping2008> Currently, GRUB loads, but then the system hangs at "Loading, please wait..."
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> PRAEDO: Did you catch that
[01:44] <roddersg> simps: try sudo ethtool eth0
[01:44] <thom_> 500gb still amazes me..
[01:44] <PRAEDO> isn't ltsp related to conf?
[01:44] <j_> whats the command for nvidia-setting
[01:44] <thom_> <==old trs-80 programmmer
[01:44] <leeping2008> it'll be the home directory for like 15 users or so :)
[01:44] <leeping2008> <-- started using Linux a year ago :P
[01:44] <OldToker> anyone here know what repository I need to load to get webmin?
[01:44] <brandonc503> what do i type in terminal to use the sudo thing?
[01:44] <Dex-Freudii> hi
[01:45] <thom_> sudo -i
[01:45] <roddersg> j_, you have to install the linux-restricted-kernel first, then enable nvidia with nvidia-glx enable, then change dpkg-reconfigure xerser-xorg
[01:45] <benanzo> can anyone suggest a way to download a remote file to a remote ftp server without a shell on either
[01:45] <roddersg> j_, can send you the link I think
[01:45] <benanzo> is it possible?
[01:45] <ginita> hi good afternoon
[01:45] <onesandzeros> hello all.  Any of you guys know how I can see all the make targets in the kernel?  I'm building from source and need a little refresher on how it all works.
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> brandonc503: USe sudo before a command for root access.  If calling up a gui app use gksudo
[01:45] <brandonc503> thanks
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> OldToker: you dont
[01:45] <simps> roddersg, is there a command for wireless? i use wireless
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[01:46] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[01:46] <roddersg> j_,  try looking here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:46] <OldToker> Jack_Sparrow, I don't see it in adept...
[01:46] <roddersg> simps, how about sudo ethtool wlan0 ?
[01:46] <OldToker> and I kinda need it?
[01:46] <Dex-Freudii> I have a sempron 3500+ which is based on AMD64 technology, which means that it supports 64-bit
[01:46] <Dex-Freudii> and I have Ubuntu for 32-bit installed, am I loosing something? how better would it be to install the 64bit version?
[01:46] <thom_> or go to restricted drivers for nvidia
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> OldToker: Please see what I just posted.. .. It is NOT advised
[01:47] <roddersg> Dex-Freudii, Speed from 64-bit packages, but ask yourself what you loose if you use 64-bit, a lot of other packages don't work well
[01:47] <ginita> i install ubuntu linux in my macbook pro... everything works pefect exept the light screen.. for some reason ubuntu low the light then i click to turn the light and 1 minutes later it take it low again
[01:47] <ginita> i wonder what is the problem?
[01:47] <OldToker> ok Jack_Sparrowl:  Please enlighten me on a nice gui then.. that I can use to manage my user accounts?
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Dex-Freudii: Use 32 until you are really comfortable with it.. THe speed dif is minimal
[01:47] <Dex-Freudii> roddersg, which packages won't work?
[01:48] <Dex-Freudii> roddersg, why is that?
[01:48] <simps> roddersg, doesn't give me speed
[01:48] <Dex-Freudii> Jack_Sparrow, what are the advantages of using 64bit then?
[01:48] <roddersg> Dex-Freudii, on 64-bit you get screwed on the Firefox extensions, java, flash etc, have to look for workarounds
[01:48] <ginita> any onw have idea about this problem?
[01:48] <ginita> with the macbook pro?
[01:49] <roddersg> Dex-Freudii, only if you want it as a server,  as for packages, they are all there except for the latest versions
[01:49] <ginita> ubuntu takes the screen light very low
[01:49] <ginita> how can i keep it up?
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Dex-Freudii: YOu can make them all work, but you would need to use ndiswrapper (I think thats right) and it just isnt the same
[01:49] <roddersg> simps - sorry don't have wireless on this machine to test
[01:49] <simps> roddersg, can't find a way for eth0 to see transfer speed then?
[01:49] <OldToker> Jack_Sparrow, can ya point me in the right direction for a nice user / groups management GUI?
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Dex-Freudii: that is to get 32 bit to run under the 64 bit os
[01:49] <brandonc503> so if i change the min word len setting in my.ctn or what ever... do i have to remake my tables? or just restart comp?
[01:50] <roddersg> simps, try googling for your answer: ubuntu wireless speed command-line
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> OldToker: Sorry, I dont know one off the top of my head.
[01:50] <Dex-Freudii> roddersg, and Jack_Sparrow thank you
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:50] <asdrubal> roddersg, sudo iwconfig <ethernet handle> rate 11M auto
[01:50] <ginita> hello, im using ubuntu in my macbook pro and everything works perfect exept the screen light is very low!
[01:50] <asdrubal> that's what I use
[01:50] <Dex-Freudii> ginita, I have a laptop x86 and the screen light doesn't work properly either
[01:50] <simps> roddersg, alright
[01:50] <ginita> when i turn it up ubuntu take it low again!
[01:51] <ginita> how can i fix this?
[01:51] <OldToker> ok Jack_Sparrow,  Well then unfortunately I guess I'm stuck with webmin.... at any rate I found instructions for it.. I have used it for like 2 years now.. I'm familiar with it..   thanks anyway :)
[01:51] <roddersg> simps, iwlist command
[01:51] <Dex-Freudii> ginita, which ubuntu are you using?
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> OldToker: As long as you are aware of the risks
[01:51] <ginita> 6.10 i think
[01:51] <OldToker> Jack_Sparrow, there's risks involved in just puting a computer in the internet now days..
[01:51] <OldToker> :)
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> OldToker: Did you even look into Ebox
[01:52] <ginita> the one that holds update for longer time
[01:52] <roddersg> simps, yes, I think iwlist is what you are looking for
[01:52] <Dex-Freudii> ginita, upgrade to 7.04 or 7.10
[01:52] <OldToker> Jack_Sparrow, no but I will thank you...
[01:52] <ginita> well im not sure dex
[01:52] <ginita> how can i see my
[01:52] <Dex-Freudii> why not?
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ok, good luck
[01:52] <ginita> version?
[01:52] <asdrubal> roddersg, I think iwconfig is what you want to use to set speed
[01:52] <ginita> dex?
[01:52] <roddersg> asdrubal, he dosen't want to set speed, he wants the characteristics of the interface
[01:52] <asdrubal> roddersg, iwconfig
[01:53] <asdrubal> roddersg, without any arguments
[01:53] <Dex-Freudii> press crtl-alt-F2 to see a console and there it says. then get back with ctrl-alt-F7 or F8
[01:53] <Dex-Freudii> ah you have mac
[01:53] <Dex-Freudii> ...
[01:53] <Dex-Freudii> don't know if ctrl and alt buttons exist
[01:53] <roddersg> asdrubal, have a word with him or scroll upwards
[01:53] <deva_> is there a help channel ?
[01:53] <celi0us> Dex_Freudii: lol they do.
[01:54] <Hajuu> hey guys.. im having some problems with my laptop.. I posted my problem on the forums but nobodys replied at all and its been days...

[02:01] <spudraticq> I don't know if this helps but for me it was my card windows would shut it down and the ubuntu driver could not turn it on
[02:01] <oboy03> hopw come most of my updates become corrupted?
[02:02] <deva_> umm ok ill try turning off compiz
[02:02] <deva_> but i actually dont know how to :p
[02:02] <garou> It worked under Debian a few hours ago.
[02:02] <oboy03> gimp update is corrupted :(
[02:02] <Hajuu> oboy03: 1 or most?
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: They should not.. what are you showing for sources
[02:02] <deva_> im like a total noob here
[02:02] <_Oz_> for those of you who've used photoshop extensively...  just how close can you get with gimp?
[02:02] <_Oz_> can you really do work with it?
[02:02] <Hajuu> _Oz_: sure, its equal to photoshop or better
[02:03] <bazhang> deva you are not going to get much help if you keep up with the three words and enter routine--no kidding
[02:03] <Hajuu> check out gimpshop also for a single window version
[02:03] <pyr3> ca.archive.ubuntu.com seems to be down.... does that resolve to multiple Canadian mirrors?  Or just one?  Should I find the IP of another of the mirrors and use my hosts file to force new DNS?
[02:03] <oboy03> some
[02:03] <Hajuu> oboy03: try fetching them again..
[02:03] <_Casey_> i just go to skype.com and dl it, is it the 2.0 beta?
[02:03] <oboy03> ok
[02:03] <_Oz_> hajuu: *really*?  I mean, **really**?  I've used photoshop for years.  It is the industry standard.  Is anyone doing professional design work with gimp?
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: I am not a photoshop person,  I use corel.. but gimp can do a lot
[02:03] <spudraticq> what kind of nic card do you have garou
[02:03] <Che-Anarc> Whats a good alternative to Winamp?
[02:04] <oboy03> Hajuu: do i have to use apt-get clean?
[02:04] <Hajuu> oboy03: use apt-get remove --purge (I think)
[02:04] <spudraticq> garou what type of nic card do you have mine was realteck
[02:04] <garou> Errrr, something really generic... RTL81somethingsomething, IIRC.
[02:04] <deva_> ok im sorry but please try to bear with me bazhang
[02:04] <Hajuu> _Oz_: Personally, I HATE photoshop and I (as a graphic designer) fail to see how it became the industry standard except by them saying so.
[02:04] <pyr3> Che-Anarc, XMMS  though I don't know if you'll be able to find an equivalent to any winamp plugins you might use
[02:04] <_Casey_> where do i find the skype beta
[02:05] <garou> Hajuu: Good marketing?
[02:05] <spudraticq> that is most likly the proplem deb is shutting it off and ubuntu can't turn it baack on
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> _c it isnt clearly marked and it will say for feisty.. but look for 2.0
[02:06] <Hajuu> garou: yeah thats it I guess..
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> _Casey_: that was for you
[02:06] <spudraticq> I know how to turn it on in windows but this is my first time using ubuntu so I dont know how to do in deb
[02:06] <garou> spudraticq: Shouldn't I *not* receive packets, then? Also, considering that Ubuntu is based on Debian, that'd be _weird_.
[02:06] <oboy03> Errors were encountered while processing:
[02:06] <oboy03>  /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.4.2-0ubuntu0.7.10.1_i386.deb
[02:06] <oboy03> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:06] <_Casey_> i did, on google
[02:06] <bazhang> deva no can do--you buck the ops here and my patience is at an end--try restarting compiz; alt --f2 compiz --replace, then run the video again, after having quit and restarted the video player
[02:06] <_Casey_> found it
[02:06] <_Casey_> let me see if it works
[02:06] <spudraticq> can you ping
[02:06] <oboy03> how do i fix it?>
[02:07] <Hajuu> hmm
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: Did you ever post your sources.list
[02:07] <oboy03> no
[02:07] <garou> Neither can successfully ping the other.

[02:07] <deva_> bazhang: thank you ill will do that :)
[02:08] <bazhang> deva after that, if it still does not work, then try some other video players, there a great many number, and see if any of them work. when you have exhausted those possibilities, then we can discuss your issue further
[02:08] <oboy03> it seems that i can only update security updates without problems
[02:08] <_Casey_> ok skype video works
[02:08] <Hajuu> I thought only a few could do HD video under linux?
[02:08] <Hajuu> like uhm
[02:08] <Hajuu> quicktime?
[02:08] <_Casey_> anyone want to test?
[02:08] <CrazyPhil_> Hi. I cannot delete one folder with Ubuntu. I start with "sudo rm -r /folder/location". It is located on a NTFS partition. I have try with the ntfs-3g mount driver. I have also try to change the owner with the "sudo chown -R yourname foldername" command. Any idea? thank you
[02:08] <oboy03> but when i check recommended updates in the software sources, i often have trouble
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL: You are just too fast...
[02:08] <spudraticq> thats what I would say it is the card must be enabled after shut down some one here must know how to do it in deb
[02:08] <garou> bbl, time for experimenting...
[02:08] <bazhang> oboy03: and third party repos in that list?
[02:09] <_Casey_> so how do i get my microphone working now ;x
[02:09] <oboy03> nope
[02:09] <spudraticq> later g
[02:09] <oboy03> i only check canonical and community
[02:09] <deva_> actually i have installed VLC media player too ... and have the same problem as the mplayer
[02:09] <oboy03> impt sec update and recommended
[02:09] <mbrush> Hayo ... stupid semi off-topic question ... can anyone tell me where the "Home Page" button is in Opera web browser?
[02:09] <jo4> anyone good at squid config? just a couple of things
[02:09] <shr1k3> _Casey_: make sure its not muted in "Volume Control"
[02:09] <deva_> and restarting compiz fusion did not help. Any other suggestions?
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Hajuu: Please avoid using enter after 2 or 3 words it spams the channel
[02:10] <bazhang> oboy03: what about your internet connection? is it adsl/modem dial up or what--how stable is it; also, have you tried a nother mirror?
[02:10] <_Casey_> front mic boost?
[02:11] <oboy03> bazhang: ADSL, stable, dont know about other mirror
[02:11] <bazhang> deva_: read my suggestion in full--quit compiz NOT restart it; try several other video players out there (there are four or five others) and then come back--five seconds is not enough time to do all that
[02:11] <_Casey_> shr1k3 is it front mic boost?
[02:11] <oboy03> bazhang: im only using the software sources, and whatever ubuntu recommends for update
[02:11] <_Casey_> or is that the mic port on the front?
[02:12] <_Casey_> its a built in micfrophone
[02:12] <shr1k3> _Casey_: are you in Volume Control?
[02:12] <_Casey_> yes i am
[02:12] <oboy03> now i have broken gimp and python package
[02:12] <dcraven-> Is there a console equivalent to 'update-manager -d'?
[02:12] <bazhang> oboy03: you might want to try another mirror--see if it is on the server side where you are--mind posting your sources list? (not here but to pastebin)
[02:12] <_Casey_> hda intel, alsa mixer
[02:12] <shr1k3> _Casey_: for me I have a "Microphone" column
[02:12] <deva_> bazhang: VLC media player and Mplayer both dont play any video file. Even if i play a music file in Mplayer ... the visualization isnt seen .... all i see is green and pink .. sometimes blue color.
[02:12] <oboy03> bazhang: how do i do that again?
[02:12] <shr1k3> _Casey_: it is defaulted to muted (red X at bottom)
[02:13] <_Casey_> i have "headphone, pcm, front mic boost, line in boost"
[02:13] <bazhang> deva install ubuntu-restricted-extras, then try totem and some of the other video players as well
[02:13] <shr1k3> _Casey_: go to preferences and check on microphone
[02:13] <_Casey_> "mic boost"?
[02:13] <ToddEDM> hey guys, does anyone know what "Kernel panic - not syncing :attempted to kill init!" means??? ... my desktop does not want to boot up
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: HAve you installed much from outside official repos? it might not be a problem with the dl and it may be something else
[02:14] <xmanxxxx> pci error cmd=0x157 status=0xc2b0
[02:14] <SteveWrightNZ>   Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out  any hint ?
[02:14] <_Casey_> would it be "mic boost"?
[02:14] <shr1k3> _Casey_: my prefs shows microphone and microphone capture
[02:14] <bazhang> oboy03: couple of ways; you can either paste it to pastebin (see the !paste command in /msg ubotu paste) or install pastebinit and cat the list to there
[02:14] <xmanxxxx> what is this on my new ubuntu server instalation
[02:14] <Soludra> I have a laptop with a touchpad and "touch-scrollwheel" thing, is it possible to prevent the touchwheel from switching me to another workspace?
[02:14] <xmanxxxx> what is this on my new ubuntu server instalation???
[02:14] <deva_> bazhang: I am using the totem media player. Can you tell me how to install ubuntu-restricted-extras? sorry for the inconvenience
[02:14] <xmanxxxx> pci error cmd=0x157 status=0xc2b0
[02:14] <oboy03> nothing from outside official repo
[02:14] <Casey> ugh. highlights >:/
[02:14] <_Casey_> i see "capture"
[02:14] <xmanxxxx> ??/
[02:14] <oboy03> ok
[02:15] <shr1k3> _Casey_: should be also just microphone above microphone capture
[02:15] <oboy03> but i have to fix broken packages first
[02:15] <Che-Anarc> How to search / find software in depo via command line?
[02:15] <bazhang> deva sudo apt-get install package name (assuming you have the first four software repositories enabled in synaptic)
[02:15] <Scunizi> xmanxxxx, you might try /join #ubuntu-server
[02:15] <shr1k3> _Casey_: probably enable them all and experiment a bit
[02:15] <Dex-Freudii> what is ubuntu-studio?
[02:15] <_Casey_> ima try
[02:15] <deva_> yes i do have :) thanks
[02:15] <dcraven-> Che-Anarc, try apt-cache search
[02:15] <oboy03> bazhang: i am downloading from main server BTW
[02:16] <shr1k3> Dex-Freudii: multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu
[02:16] <bazhang> oboy03: not doubting you--just in order to tell you to use another mirror--you might want to choose another one that is faster and see if that works, thus ruling out the mirror issue
[02:16] <oboy03> ok
[02:16] <ubuntu> Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive?
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: 8beabb8c48f2877e54817b554c92beac   is the md5sum
[02:16] <mikeaz> Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive?
[02:17] <_Casey_> is there an app to test the mic
[02:17] <bazhang> does gparted do hfs+?
[02:17] <oboy03> Jack_Sparrow: what is that?
[02:17] <Che-Anarc> I'm trying ot figure out if there is anyway I can get my touch screen working... can anyone help?
[02:17] <shr1k3> _Casey_: like sound recorder
[02:17] <Soludra> I have a laptop with a touchpad and "touch-scrollwheel" thing, is it possible to prevent the touchwheel from switching me to another workspace?
[02:17] <_Casey_> yeah, anything
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> oboy03: It is the checksum of a good copy of gimp
[02:17] <spudraticq> che is it a toughbook
[02:17] <Che-Anarc> All I know is that its a USB Touchscreen panel from Fujitsu... on a panasonic laptop.
[02:18] <djtls> hey
[02:18] <Dex-Freudii> Soludra, which ubuntu are you using?
[02:18] <Che-Anarc> Stylus CF-T1
[02:18] <djtls> i have a quick question
[02:18] <spudraticq> toughbook what model
[02:18] <bazhang> heh
[02:18] <garou> Experimenting done. After the reboot I discovered that everything is working, though a /etc/init.d/networking restart wasn't enough to do that before the reboot. I also discovered that installing Ubuntu fragged my Debian installation. What is this, the next Windows??
[02:18] <shr1k3> _Casey_: Sound Recorder, under Applications  | Sound and Video
[02:18] <djtls> for some reason  my tite bar has dissappeared
[02:18] <amanda> I'm trying to fire up thunderbird from a terminal in my wife's x session.  I get ...cannot open display:...  I used to be able to do this fine in Cent and fedora, why not the Ub?
[02:18] <Soludra> Dex-Freudii: Gutsy
[02:18] <djtls> how can i get my title bar back
[02:18] <djtls> ?
[02:18] <Dex-Freudii> Soludra, beryl? compiz?
[02:18] <Soludra> Compiz
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> garou: Ubuntu has nothing to do with your debian install going bad
[02:19] <dominion> My ekiga suddenly has problems. I can't make outbound calls now. I get "security check failed" errors. It worked last night and no changes have been made
[02:19] <Dr_willis> djtls,  titlebars and window decoration for all programs? Compiz or similer crashed..
[02:19] <djtls> can anyone help me please
[02:19] <Dex-Freudii> Soludra, it's a compiz setting
[02:19] <Dr_willis> djtls,  try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace'
[02:19] <Dex-Freudii> Soludra, change it
[02:19] <deva_> bazhang: The installation is complete ... what do i do now ?
[02:19] <lee__> alright, good evening friends
[02:19] <Soludra> ah, k
[02:19] <bazhang> djtis you deleted the main panel? put in a new one
[02:19] <Che-Anarc> spudraticq   yes it is a toughbook CF-T1
[02:19] <bazhang> deva try the video again
[02:19] <_Casey_> isnt recording
[02:20] <garou> Jack_Sparrow: It'd be a _BIG_ coincidence if it "just happened" in synchronicity.
[02:20] <spudraticq> http://biobug.org/toughbook/  this site is for linux on a toughbook don't know if it will help che
[02:20] <Che-Anarc> thanks
[02:20] <deva_> didnt work :(
[02:20] <amanda> I'm sure it has something to do with my wife owning the terminal, but how do I get around this?
[02:20] <djtls> dr_willis i will try it now
[02:20] <bazhang> garou comparing ubuntu to ##windows will not get people rushing to help you around here
[02:20] <deva_> should i restart the computer once again?
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> garou: If you have a question, please ask, but dont go spreading FUD in here
[02:21] <bazhang> deva what file are you trying to play?
[02:21] <Soludra> Dex-Freudii: Not sure where to change it, I'm looking with no luck
[02:21] <deva_> it is a .divx file
[02:21] <dominion> My ekiga suddenly has problems. I can't make outbound calls now. I get "security check failed" errors. It worked last night and no changes have been made
[02:21] <bazhang> deca and that is the one file that will not play? or is all your video files?
[02:21] <spudraticq> garou did you find out how to keep the card on after shut down?

[02:23] <lee__> i'm trying to play dvd's on my ubuntu and have gone through the message board guidance and it didn't fix my issues.  i have tried a number of things and the dvd will abruptly stop playing after i get to the title menu.  it will play through the previews but nothing beyond that.  any recomendations?
[02:23] <deva_> i just typed compiz --replace
[02:23] <bazhang> IdleOne: what else is not working? we need the main helper in this channel back ;]
[02:23] <deva_> give me a second
[02:23] <deva_> ill brb
[02:23] <IdleOne> bazhang, :)
[02:23]  * IdleOne is no where near the main helper

[02:24] <Dex-Freudii> Soludra, i don't remember exactly where but it is in that Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

[02:24] <IdleOne> I am ?
[02:24] <Soludra> Dex-Freudii: Right, I'm looking around in there and I can't find the setting.
[02:25] <IdleOne> well in any case not here for the recognition. just want to do what I can for Ubuntu
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: If you enter an ip address into the browser do you get that website.. it might be dns issue
[02:26] <bazhang> hmm might it be a proxy issue IdleOne? or is this direct connection? what about DNS?
[02:26] <deva_> bazhang: I did metacity --replace
[02:26] <plasticman_> http://rlock.eu/warlock/coolio/
[02:26] <bazhang> deva try the video again--not just the divx one by the way
[02:26] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow, havent tried. in windows now so would need to reboot to test. bazhang not a proxy issue I dont use proxy
[02:26] <bazhang> IdleOne: I think Jack_Sparrow may be on to something ;]
[02:27] <IdleOne> let me reboot to ubuntu and I'll be back on from another machine in a few. bazhang yeah I think Jack_Sparrow is also

[02:34] <nickrud> Shaun2222: rrconf is the package name
[02:34] <me> I feel stupid, but why did my Gutsy installation CD use LILO instead of Grub?
[02:34] <nickrud> Shaun2222: erm, rcconf that is
[02:34] <IdleOne> me impossible. where did you get the cd?

[02:34] <ToddEDM> should the live CD work even if i have no hard drive in?(or its screwed up)
[02:34] <me> IdleOne: I downloaded the Kubuntu 7.10 Alternate install CD from the official torrent
[02:34] <Odd-rationale> ToddEDM: It should still work
[02:35] <nickrud> !gutsysources | Shaun2222 (you don't have universe enabled)
[02:35] <ubotu> Shaun2222 (you don't have universe enabled): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[02:35] <IdleOne> me #kubuntu but I believe kubuntu use grub default and not lilo
[02:35] <me> IdleOne: I asked there, no response...and it's not a K/u issue, we're talking base installer
[02:35] <penehoff> ok i just bought my new dell laptop with ubuntu installed on it and i am trying to download and install mplayer but it stops and says i need dependecies installed first? so my question isnt their a program that you can install that autodetects and installs dependecies?
[02:35] <astralsin> how do you reset the password used in a samba connection?
[02:35] <astralsin> penehoff: use the package manager
[02:36] <oboy04> .
[02:36] <mehmet> i'm trying to install deluge but this is what it is happening
[02:36] <nickrud> penehoff: if you use apt-get or synaptic it'll pull in the dependencies
[02:36] <mehmet> mehmet@mehmet-laptop:~$ apt-get install deluge-torrent
[02:36] <mehmet> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[02:36] <Shaun2222> what....
[02:36] <mehmet> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[02:36] <oboy04> .
[02:36] <Shaun2222> i have 3 sources...
[02:36] <astralsin> mehmet: put sudo in front of that
[02:36] <nickrud> mehmet: close synaptic
[02:36] <Shaun2222> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted, deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted, and deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-updates main restricted
[02:36] <nickrud> Shaun2222: you need universe, do the above to set up things correctly
[02:36] <astralsin> nickrud: that's not the problem, he's not running it with sudo
[02:37] <mehmet> thanks astralsin i forgot sudo
[02:37] <nickrud> astralsin: ah, didn't read fully
[02:37] <Shaun2222> nickrud: is that thing telling me how to do it via a gui or somthing...
[02:37] <nickrud> Shaun2222: yes.
[02:37] <Shaun2222> only the CLI sorry....
[02:37] <Odd-rationale> Shaun2222: Edit your sources.list
[02:38] <Shaun2222> Odd-rationale: and change/add what
[02:38] <nickrud> Shaun2222: then look for the lines ending in universe, and uncomment them. Also, add the word multiverse there at the end of those lines
[02:38] <Odd-rationale> Shaun2222: The entries for universe and multiuniverse should already be there, just comment them out.
[02:38] <Shaun2222> my sources.list is small, what i shows you above is all it has...
[02:38] <Shaun2222> nothing commended out
[02:38] <bazhang> IdleOne: is this a home connection? not a university or work or what not
[02:38] <nickrud> Shaun2222: a sec, I'll put up a complete set
[02:38] <Shaun2222> k
[02:39] <Shaun2222> this install was done with debootstrap so it's minimal
[02:39] <Odd-rationale> nickrud: Thanks! (I;m not running ubuntu atm)
[02:39] <dark-knight> Can anyone point me somewhere that explains how to properly install gnome themes and icons, I can get the themes to work but when I drag and drop it looses the last one installed
[02:39] <Shaun2222> this sources.list i just grabed from examples in /usr/share
[02:39] <mikeaz> I need to get HFS+ write support. Can anyone help me in my noble quest?

[02:43] <dark-knight> were would i normal place gnome icones?
[02:43] <xzased> How can I check and open ports ?
[02:43] <penehoff> ok does anyone know of the program that works along side apt-get to install dependecies automatically?
[02:43] <Shaun2222> nickrud: thats a huge ass list of sources
[02:43] <bazhang> dark-knight: scroll up for my last message to you
[02:43] <IdleOne> bazhang have tried many different sites. can connect to gmail. this is on a fresh install
[02:43] <nickrud> Shaun2222: they could be consolidated into about 6-8 lines, but this is how ubuntu releases them
[02:43] <_Casey_> try "m.gmail.com
[02:43] <_Casey_> "
[02:44] <_Casey_> it may be mobile, but it should work
[02:44] <nickrud> Shaun2222: and they are all from ubuntu, no third party
[02:44] <IdleOne> _Casey_ m.gmail.com works
[02:44] <_Casey_> you are welcome
[02:44] <_Casey_> its used for mobile phones ;x
[02:45] <_Oz_> having some network issues
[02:45] <markgreene> Hey guys. I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 with advanced graphics selected from my Apperence options. Where do I do things like enabling the cube and disabling the wobbly windows?
[02:45] <_Oz_> from ubuntu machine #1, can't get into files of ubuntu machine #2
[02:45] <_Oz_> what am I doing wrong?
[02:45] <IdleOne> _Casey_ that is great but what about the rest of the internet? cant connect to it
[02:45] <bazhang> ccsm markgreene
[02:45] <INOSHU> Hihi^^
[02:45] <_Casey_> not at all?
[02:45] <umdoistres> a error message "C compiler cannot create executables", what i do ?
[02:45] <Shaun2222> rcconf isnt showing me many services...
[02:45] <Shaun2222> only 4
[02:45] <nickrud> markgreene: install compizconfig-settings-manager , and it'll be sys->prefs->advanced desktop settings
[02:45] <Flannel> !doesntwork | _Oz_
[02:45] <ubotu> _Oz_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[02:45] <dark-knight> Bazhang Thanks didn't see the post
[02:45] <_Oz_> sorry.
[02:45] <IdleOne> _Casey_ nope
[02:45] <_Oz_> let me try again.
[02:45] <Flannel> umdoistres: What are you trying to compile?
[02:45] <_Casey_> are you connected via a lan cable?
[02:45] <markgreene> bazhang: What is ccsm?
[02:45] <_Oz_> I have two ubuntu machines.
[02:45] <_Casey_> or wireless
[02:45] <bazhang> !who | _Casey_
[02:45] <ubotu> _Casey_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[02:46] <umdoistres> i trying to install a program..
[02:46] <_Oz_> Both have folders named "Ubuntu Shared" on the desktop.
[02:46] <Casey> WOW
[02:46] <Casey> I HATE HIGHLGIHTS.
[02:46] <_Casey_> !tab
[02:46] <bazhang> !ccsm | markgreene
[02:46] <_Oz_> Both can see each others' shared folders.
[02:46] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[02:46] <ubotu> markgreene: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion

[02:46] <_Oz_> But I cannot copy files from one to the other.
[02:46] <markgreene> ubotu: thanks
[02:46] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:46] <mikeaz> I need to get HFS+ write support in Linux. Can anyone help me in my noble quest?
[02:46] <_Oz_> Sorry, Flannel.  Old habit.  I try not to, but it's hard.
[02:46] <bazhang> hehe
IdleOne which one is it
[02:46]  * INOSHU farts
[02:46] <INOSHU> So anyway
[02:46] <Flannel> _Oz_: It takes a while, no worries.  Just a reminder
[02:46] <ksnipz> anyone know where i can get the official torrent?
[02:46] <Flannel> umdoistres: Is it not in the repositories?
[02:46] <bazhang> mikeaz: does gparted support that?
[02:46] <_Oz_> Yeah, I'm usually reminded every time.  :)  I will get there eventually.
[02:46] <IdleOne> _Casey_ wired
[02:47] <INOSHU> I have a few questions... 1) Is it possible to install as a dual boot with an existing windows? Is a seperate partition needed?
[02:47] <Flannel> INOSHU: yes, and yes.
[02:47] <_Oz_> Inoshy: you certainly can.
[02:47] <mikeaz> bazhang: i don't know. my gparted doesn't even start up because i don't have a floppy drive. isn't that silly?
[02:47] <_Oz_> a separate partition is necessary.
[02:47] <bazhang> INOSHU: yes and yes
[02:47] <INOSHU> 2) Network printer sharing. Compatible with other windows sytems on the network?
[02:47] <INOSHU> like, if the printer's on my computer, that is
[02:47] <Flannel> umdoistres: Alright, well, build-essential is the package you need to be able to compile.  But make sure you actually need to compile, before going through all that work
[02:47] <_Casey_> IdleOne: No internet websites work?
[02:47] <umdoistres> Flannel: what ?..
[02:48] <umdoistres> ops, sorry..
[02:48] <Dr_willis> mikeaz,  ive seen fdisk and other tools scan for partitions, and can get hung on the floppy. normally theres a dont scan for foppy option they got.
[02:48] <IdleOne> _Casey_ nothing but google
[02:48] <Dr_willis> bye all
[02:48] <Flannel> umdoistres: What program are you trying to install?
[02:48] <bazhang> mikeaz: floppy? this is cd based--you should test on the gparted live cd or the parted magic (cant recall the name) www.distrowatch.com latest you can check there
[02:48] <_Casey_> IdleOne: Thats weird, what internet Service are you using?
[02:48] <umdoistres> Flannel: LiVES
[02:48] <IdleOne> _Casey_ verizon
[02:49] <LeChacal> i have to reinstall and i am look for all the packages that I installed not just ever package that is installed is there away to do that? So that when i reinstall i can put the ones i want back.
[02:49] <bazhang> INOSHU: no guarantees what printer
[02:49] <Casey> wow this is annoying
[02:49] <bazhang> dpkg -l LeChacal
[02:49] <INOSHU> Brother DCP-330C
[02:49] <Flannel> umdoistres: Alright, well, whatever that is.  It doesn't appear to be in the repository, so yeah.  Install the "build-essential" package, and you'll be ready to go
[02:49] <mtendencias_suic> hola como stan
[02:49] <nickrud> !clone | LeChacal
[02:49] <ubotu> LeChacal: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[02:49] <INOSHU> it's a multifunction, scanner + printer +copier. I don't need the scanning to work over the network though

[02:50] <_Casey_> IdleOne: ill figure it out in a second
[02:50] <umdoistres> Flannel: i didn't understand.. what you meand with "build-essential" ?
[02:50] <umdoistres> *mean
[02:50] <Shaun2222> update-rc.d is there a way for it to give me output about which services are starting at which runlevels?
[02:50] <INOSHU> 3) Best place to find drivers?
[02:51] <Flannel> umdoistres: You need to install the package called "build-essential", that'll get you everything you need (except specific libraries) to compile
[02:51] <bazhang> !hcl
[02:51] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[02:51] <bazhang> see above INOSHU
[02:51] <INOSHU> ah ok
[02:51] <INOSHU> thanks ^^
[02:51] <umdoistres> Flannel: oh, and, and.. where i found this ?
[02:51] <Flannel> umdoistres: In the repositories.  `sudo apt-get install build-essential`
[02:52] <nickrud> Shaun2222: if you didn't care for rcconf, you might try sysv-rc-conf or sysvconfig
[02:52] <Shaun2222> ahh, much better!
[02:53] <nickrud> Shaun2222: and for future ref, ubuntu doesn't really differentiate between runlevels a la redhat
[02:53] <mtendencias_suic> disculpen tengo el ubuntu ultimate pero no puedo descargar actualizaciones ¿por q?
[02:54] <Shaun2222> oh
[02:54] <IdleOne> mtendencias_suic /join #ubuntu-es por favor
[02:54] <olskolirc> im back

[02:54] <mtendencias_suic> plis
[02:55] <INOSHU> So, if I can get my wireless network connection up and running(so I can get internets), I can set up the rest of the drivers after installing, right?
[02:55] <Jamesinator> Help, I'm at the end of my rope! All my USB devices have stopped working now and I can't use any input devices but my keyboard.
[02:55] <INOSHU> Is there any others I need to download prior to install?

[02:57] <INOSHU> haha, more than enough info... I'm just asking, the system install plus the wireless network driver... that's all i need to get started, right? i can download the other drivers once i'm actually running it?
[02:57] <Flannel> putnum: It used to be, yes.  On more recent versions, avahi is internet facing.

[03:01] <bazhang> IdleOne: will do ;]
[03:01] <INOSHU> gr. NZ internet is SLOW. :(
[03:02] <INOSHU> AH yes, another question... M4A audio. How compatible?
[03:02] <INOSHU> or would I be better converting it to MP3? (OGG is not practical for me, because I often share with others)
[03:02] <olskolirc> when I start mythtv-setup - it brings me two useless config pages.  where is the tv?  I can't even set up hardware or nothing just the sql database
[03:02] <olskolirc> which it can't find
[03:03] <Shaun2222> Whats runlevel S suppose to mean in sysv-rc-conf
[03:04] <james__> INOSHU:  M4A playlists will work provided you have the right codec.

[03:04] <Starnestommy> Shaun2222: startup, I think
[03:04] <INOSHU> Alright ^^
[03:04] <profoak> if anyone can help me with installing vmware, message me on aim, "plasmaperson08"
[03:05] <putnum> profoak: whats the issue?
[03:05] <umdoistres> Flannel: now shows a message "no package gtk+-2.0 found"
[03:06] <corporeal> anyone here use NIS/ypbind?
[03:06] <profoak> I have alot of issues, i did sudo apt-get install vmware but i got to a screen with their disclaimer and stuff and couldn't get it to go anywhere, so i tried to use this guide    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server and when i put in the first line to get it, it says it cant find the package, nor the one amd64 user need, i tried to get both
[03:07] <Shaun2222> whats ubuntu's equiv to /etc/inittab
[03:07] <putnum> are you running a 64 bit ver of ubuntu?
[03:07] <profoak> no, a regular 32bit
[03:07] <demonspork>  When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday.
[03:07] <putnum> or the i386?
[03:07] <putnum> ok
[03:07] <demonspork>  Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem.
[03:07] <profoak> i386
[03:08] <putnum> just go download the tar file from vmware.com
[03:08] <profoak> i have it
[03:08] <putnum> ok what happens when you run sudo vmware-install.pl?
[03:09] <olskolirc> my xawtv never loads.  can someone help me with that?
[03:09] <profoak> i get a command not found
[03:09] <james__> demonspork: you've probably got an Xorg config problem. Have you tried google?
[03:09] <umdoistres> now shows a message "no package gtk+-2.0 found", what i do ?
[03:10] <putnum> you first have to go into the dir that you extracted it
[03:10] <putnum> should be vmware-server-distrib
[03:10] <jrib> umdoistres: what are you trying to do?
[03:11] <umdoistres> jrib: install a program
[03:11] <profoak>  i get bash: vmware-install.pl: command not found
[03:11] <profoak>  and its in the right dir
[03:11] <jrib> umdoistres: what program -- be specific
[03:11] <umdoistres> jrib: LiVES
[03:12] <jrib> !compile > umdoistres (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:12] <demonspork> james__, It used to boot successfully, but I made a clean gutsy install and then one day I booted into feisty again to try to find a command in the console history and this problem occured.
[03:12] <putnum> do you see the file when you do a ls?
[03:12] <jrib> umdoistres: you need to install the dependencies.  Look for a package with "lib" "gtk" "2.0" and "dev" in its name
[03:12] <putnum> might also try sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[03:13] <profoak> i do see the file, ill try the second thing
[03:13] <umdoistres> jrib: i search in system, or internet ?
[03:13] <Katanova> hello
[03:13] <putnum> ok
[03:13] <markgreene> Hey guys. I'm trying to add a workspace to my ubuntu 7.10 install. I added it so that I have 2 rows and 2 columns by right clicking on my workspace switcher and going to preferences. The problems that compiz still only sees two workspaces and so when I turn on rotate cube it's a cube with 2 sides. What am I missing?
[03:13] <profoak> its asking me what dir i want to install the binary files in?
[03:13] <jrib> umdoistres: do you know about APT?
[03:14] <Katanova> Can anyone here help me with some problems with the latest live cd?
[03:14] <umdoistres> jrib: APT ?
[03:14] <james__> demonspork: so you have gutsy installed alongside feisty?
[03:14] <demonspork> yes
[03:14] <putnum> ok hit enter on all the defaults
[03:14] <demonspork> and XP, and Vista and used to have a slackware, but I deleted it
[03:15] <jrib> umdoistres: APT, you use commands like apt-get, or aptitude or GUIs like synaptic or Add/Remove to install things
[03:15] <jrib> !apt > umdoistres (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:15] <Katanova> I'm having problems booting into the live cd >>
[03:16] <profoak> is there anything i shoudln't put default on?
[03:16] <komputer10> wenda
[03:16] <umdoistres> jrib: oh, i use apt-get to install a build-essentials
[03:16] <putnum> nope
[03:17] <jrib> umdoistres: yes, see the page ubotu gave you to search for the terms I said.  If you have questions let me know
[03:17] <umdoistres> jrib: ok, thanks
[03:17] <james__> demonspork: Personally I wouldn't bother with feisty and stay with gutsy but if that's what you want. what exactly did you do before you rebooted into gutsy?
[03:18] <blackest> anyone good with scanners i can get it working but only as root
[03:18] <james__> demonspork: i.e. did you edit /etc/fstab in any way?
[03:18] <Alangara> anyone know a good shoutcasting program for linux? (cant get internet DJ Console to connect)
[03:18] <Wasney_> Anyone have experience running compiz on a Xpress 200m graphics card?
[03:18] <bshosey> leave
[03:18] <profoak> do i just go and register for the serial number?
[03:18] <Katanova> so noone can help me with booting into the live cd???
[03:18] <badkitty> Whats up folks
[03:19] <badkitty> Katanova Just tell uswhat the problems is and we'll see if we can help
[03:19] <james__> Katanova: what's your problem?
[03:19] <Starnestommy> Katanova: what kind of problems are you having with it?
[03:19] <putnum> yep
[03:19] <putnum> thats it
[03:20] <Katanova> sure, i can get to the selection screen, but once i try to boot it it comes up with a black screen and stops sending messages to mi monitor
[03:20] <profoak> is it the registration on their website for the download?
[03:20] <Katanova> i tryed gfx save mode and my intergraded
[03:20] <Starnestommy> Katanova: hif F6 and replace "quiet splash" with "nosplash"
[03:20] <Thurin1> Katanova: Download the alternative install CD
[03:20] <profoak> nevermind found it
[03:20] <Katanova> running ~3500+ 64bit with 3.5gb ddr2 800 and 8600gt
[03:20] <Thurin1> Some older monitors video cards have problems with recent Xorg's.
[03:20] <Katanova> nosplash, ok i'll try that now
[03:21] <Wasney_> I have Compiz Fusion Installed and runnable, but no effects do anything...I am running a laptop with a Xpress 200m integrated card...anyone want to help
[03:21] <Starnestommy> and I think the amd64 edition's usplash is a bit broken
[03:21] <DG19075> I'm looking for a copy of the Aurora-GTK2 engine, Synaptic doesn't seem to have it...
[03:21] <badkitty> Katanova: Some systems are having that same trouble, for installing try the alternate install
[03:21] <Katanova> the OEM install?
[03:21] <badkitty> Wasney_: They dont do anything??
[03:21] <blackest> katanova  the text based install
[03:21] <badkitty> Katanova: No not OEM, text based
[03:22] <Wasney_> badkitty: nothing...its as if they are all dissabled...no cube effects or anything...not even wobbly windows
[03:22] <Katanova> lol theres an option for that lol if i'ld seen that i wound have used it
[03:22] <badkitty> Wasney_: Is it beryl or compiz fusion, and is it running?
[03:22] <blackest> katanova there are two at least install cds
[03:22] <Katanova> install with driver update cd ic
[03:23] <eshaase> anyone know of a way to run a webserver just for localhost (and not to the outside world)?
[03:23] <Sir_Sid> does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it?
[03:23] <Wasney_> badkitty: its coompiz fusion, and it runs...I can open the "Advanced Desktop Effects Setting" in system>pref and everything
[03:23] <blackest> different versions graphical textbased and 64bit
[03:23] <demon_spork> james__, no, someone on google said that panel transparency was the cause of their problem. They fixed it by logging into KDE and using xnest to log into the damaged gnome session, which worked for some reason, and change their settings. If I run a vncserver from that system and login from another machine, would the panel on the vnc session use the same config as the panel on the local login?
[03:23] <blackest> plus ppc ect...
[03:23] <Katanova> Where do i donwload the driver update cd?
[03:24] <Stoffer> looking for an opinion:  I couldn't get my external ntfs usb hard drive working in ubuntu because of a policy issue or something, so I just converted it to fat32.  That was a good idea right?  No serious drawbacks to a fat32 filesystem over ntfs?
[03:24] <blackest> katanova is your system prebuilt? from a shop you might want to google your pc make and model and gutsy
[03:24] <Katanova> na i made it
[03:24] <badkitty> Wasney_: But you are sure that compiz is running? I think you can get into the setting manager even if it is not running
[03:25] <Sir_Sid> does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it?
[03:25] <Wasney_> badkitty: how can I make sure it is ruuning? Is there a command to check?
[03:25] <badkitty> Wasney_: There is a compiz channel, and they would really know more things specific to compiz
[03:25] <y_o_u> eshaase: iptables i would think
[03:25] <blackest> how about the graphics card  what have you got
[03:25] <Wasney_> badkitty: could you tell me how to get in the channel?
[03:25] <mon^rch> evening all, I am still looking for a way to have a program (evince) open maximized every time it's invoked. As it stands... 100% of the time the window border is a different size and position every time it's opened.
[03:25] <demon_spork> Wasney_, press alt+f2, then type "compiz --replace" to start compiz
[03:25] <Katanova> 8600 GT 256mb
[03:25] <badkitty> Wasney_: Off hand Im not sure .. as far as the channel hold on.. i think its #compiz-fusion
[03:25] <badkitty> Wasney_: Ill check
[03:25] <demon_spork> Wasney_, type /join #compiz-fusion in the chat box
[03:26] <demon_spork> for help with c-f
[03:26] <profoak> putnam- so i should be able to run it now?
[03:26] <badkitty> Wasney_: type /join #compiz-fusion
[03:26] <Tazbobu> Trying to associate ctrl-alt-del with gnome-system-monitor.. I tried the commands listed online but it isn't working.. any other way to change it?
[03:26] <Wasney_> thanks badkitty and demon_spork...I will head over there and see what I can do :D
[03:26] <blackest> yeah well i think going for the alternate install disk will be the easiest option
[03:26] <badkitty> demon_spork: Haha beat me
[03:26] <demon_spork> lol
[03:27] <Katanova> lol i downloaded the cd... so all i got is 64-bit
[03:27] <Katanova> where to download the other install disk?
[03:27] <blackest> your not running a seagate drive 40 or 20 gig
[03:27] <badkitty> Katanova: You might want to download the 32 bit version of gutsy
[03:27] <Jangari> Katanova: i think you want x86 version
[03:27] <blackest> the same page katanova
[03:27] <badkitty> Katanova: Agree with Jangari
[03:27] <Jangari> or whatever it's called
[03:27] <Katanova> sure ok, i'll try 32bit
[03:27] <badkitty> Katanova: TRUST me . its a good idea
[03:27] <Katanova> ok ty then
[03:28] <Jangari> badkitty: is it called x86? or i86 or something like that?
[03:28] <Sir_Sid> does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it?
[03:28]  * nickrud wonders why anyone would trust a bad kitty
[03:28]  * Jangari grins sheepishly
[03:28] <badkitty> Jangari: Yeah x86
[03:28] <Katanova> well i'll try that now, cya
[03:28] <mon^rch> evening all, I am still looking for a way to have a program (evince) open maximized every time it's invoked. As it stands... 100% of the time the window border is a different size and position every time it's opened.
[03:29] <Jangari> mon^rch: that'd be good, what would also be good is it you could specify 'open in desktop ...'
[03:29] <bcardarella> I can play WMV video just fine but the audio does not play. I have VLC installed but still no audio. I'm sure there is an answer in the forums but I can't seem to find it... does anybody have a thought?
[03:29] <Jangari> i had the problem recently of windows opening too high, with the toolbars above the limit of the screen, but that appears to have sorted itself out
[03:30] <badkitty> bcardarella: Do you have the media codecs installed?
[03:30] <mon^rch> Jangari: "open in desktop"?
[03:31] <badkitty> bcardarella: I don't know how to troubleshoot sound, but I would check to make sure you have the codecs downloaded
[03:31] <Jangari> no mon^rch, i mean specifically 'open in workspace 3' (not desktop)
[03:31] <bcardarella> badkitty: I tried to install w32codecs but those don't exist in repo anymore... is there another package? (other than what attempts to install automatically)
[03:31] <chaosrl> just recently, my scroll wheel will change my virtual desktop when the mouse is over the desktop. is there any way to disable this? i'm running compiz-fusion and AWN, if that helps
[03:31] <badkitty> bcardarella: You have to add the medibuntu repo
[03:31] <MFen> when i'm using multiple workspaces, how do i make my application buttons in the taskbar appear on all workspaces?
[03:31] <rsa_md5> suddenly my ntfs partitions are not being mounted automatically on startup, and even if i mount them manually from the command line, they don't appear in the GUI
[03:31] <bcardarella> badkitty: ah, okay. I'll look for that
[03:31] <bcardarella> badkitty: thanks
[03:31] <Jangari> hang on, aren't the restricted plugins included in the normal repos?
[03:31] <nickrud> MFen: #compiz-fusion has the best compiz help
[03:31] <BagelMaster> Can someone tlate this for me?  "I had trouble mounting this too, but it turns out it is actually a binary installer (not an image). just make it executable (chmod 744 or something) and run the bin."
[03:31] <badkitty> bcardarella: I would install ubuntu-restricted-extras as well
[03:32] <Jangari> and don't they include the windows codecs?
[03:32] <MFen> i have compiz turned off, i'm not talking about compiz
[03:32] <Jangari> yeah,t that's the one, restricted extras
[03:32] <nickrud> Jangari: no
[03:32] <nickrud> MFen: sorry, wrong guy
[03:32] <badkitty> hey nickrud
[03:32] <MFen> nickrud: no worries.
[03:32] <nickrud> chaosrl: try #compiz-fusion , they know best about compiz
[03:32] <witepa> BagelMaster
[03:32] <nickrud> badkitty: ah, you finally noticed. I made fun of you earlier ;)
[03:32] <BagelMaster> Witepa
[03:33] <badkitty> nickrud: Oh yah? I didn't notice
[03:33] <Jangari> MFen: i think i had that issue a while ago, and i think it is to do with compiz, or, the included 'desktop effects'
[03:33] <badkitty> nickrud: what did u say
[03:33] <bcardarella> badkitty: I'm think I already have that repo
[03:33] <mon^rch> hmm, okay... where do I change the default application for opening different filetypes?
[03:33] <gringochapin> Newbie question, is there anything particular I need to do to get smbmount to work beyond just sudo apt-get install smbfs?
[03:33] <nickrud> MFen: right click the dots next to the task bar, preferences
[03:34] <Jangari> mon^rch: system > prefs > preferred applications
[03:34] <MFen> nickrud: so awesome are you.
[03:34] <nickrud> badkitty: something along the lines of 'who'd trust a bad kitty' when you said trust me :)
[03:34] <MFen> thanks!
[03:34] <gringochapin> I am trying to mount a buffalo terastation, and its not working, even though I can use smbclient -L and see it.
[03:34] <badkitty> bcardarella: Nah, if you did it would have installed the codecs .. unless you are putting it in wrong or dont have the key
[03:34] <badkitty> nickrud: haha
[03:34] <astyler> Ok, quick question.  I'm trying to switch to ubuntu from windows for the first time.  Every time I try to "check disk for errors" or "intall or start ubuntu", my monitor loses signal and nothing is displayed.  I'm using an 8800gt with two dvi ports.  Any ideas how to get this installed?
[03:34] <nickrud> weak, I know but I'm known for poor humor
[03:34] <blackest> mon^rch nano /usr/share/evince/evince-properties.glade
[03:35] <astyler> While I see nothing I can hear the CD spinning for a few minutes on error check
[03:35] <badkitty> nickrud: Great, now that guy is going to stick with his 64 bit disc and that makes more work for the rest of us lol
[03:35] <Jangari> oh, sorry MFen, i evidently thought you were referring to something else
[03:35] <BagelMaster> Can someone translate* this for me?  "I had trouble mounting this too, but it turns out it is actually a binary installer (not an image). just make it executable (chmod 744 or something) and run the bin."
[03:35] <MFen> i just succesfully installed hardy on my macbook pro. if anyone wants to know how to fix their macbook pro, ask me now while the pain is still fresh in my memory
[03:35] <mon^rch> blackest: tyvm!
[03:35] <MFen> Jangari: np.
[03:35] <nickrud> badkitty: once he's set up for firefox and media, everything else is peachy keen
[03:35] <Jangari> MFen: the only way to fix an apple machine is to get a refund
[03:35] <badkitty> nickrud: Is that the saying? .. I thought it was peachy king
 MFen: the only way to fix an apple machine is to get a refund
[03:36] <INOSHU> WIN!
[03:36] <MFen> Jangari: goodness no.  the hardware is lovely
[03:36] <nickrud> BagelMaster:  chmod u+x  /path/to/binaryinstaller &&  /path/to/binaryinstaller
[03:36] <bcardarella> badkitty: no good, still no audio.. oh well
[03:36] <MFen> i just don't like the OS much
[03:36] <Jangari> mm, okay then
[03:36] <BagelMaster> Nickrud, thank you
[03:36] <travisat> I like my hardware better then apple stuff :)
[03:36] <nickrud> badkitty: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peachy+keen
[03:36] <badkitty> bcardarella: You said it works for other media? The audio
[03:37] <Jangari> except for apple's contempt for openness of hardware
[03:37] <bcardarella> badkitty: yeah, I can play mp3
[03:37] <Jangari> 'must be apple bits-and-pieces'
[03:37] <umdoistres> jrib: show that the aplication apt can be found in the packages "sun java6 jdk".. what i do ?
[03:37] <badkitty> nickrud: Well Ill be a monkeys uncle.. wait lemme see if thats right
[03:37] <badkitty> bcardarella: Were you able to install the w32codecs?
[03:37] <nickrud> astyler: get the alternate text install cd, your card needs drivers that aren't on the live cd
[03:38] <bcardarella> badkitty: yeap
[03:38] <tyler_d> where can I get a better sources.list?
[03:38] <L3ttuc3> is it possible to have two different two different keymaps on at the same time - say for example, i've got a laptop with a regular US qwerty keyboard, and I've hooked up an Apple keyboard ('Apple' keymap)?
[03:38] <badkitty> I dont remember what ubuntu-restricted0extras has in it.. did you try that?
[03:38] <nickrud> !gutsysources | tyler_d
[03:38] <ubotu> tyler_d: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[03:38] <BagelMaster> Nickrud: All I get is "bash: /home/dan/MAPLESOFT.Maple.v11.0.Linux-AGAiN: is a directory"
[03:39] <nickrud> BagelMaster: did you do some kind of extraction on the thing you downloaded?
[03:39] <bcardarella> badkitty: yeah, I installed that package. Earlier I thought you were referring to the restricted repo...
[03:39] <BagelMaster> Nope, it came in the separate 5mb pieces PIECE.r1, PIECE.r2, PIECE.r3...
[03:39] <BagelMaster> and so on
[03:39] <badkitty> bcardarella: hmmm.. perhaps its the media itself?
[03:40] <nickrud> BagelMaster: oh, why oh why would it come in pieces that small?
[03:40] <tators> what is the opposite command of tail -n 50
[03:40] <mon^rch> blackest: pardon me, but in that particular file do I change GTK_WIN_POS_NONE to GTK_WIN_POS_MAX (or something)
[03:40] <tators> err tail n -50
[03:40] <Pici> tators: head -n 50
[03:40] <nickrud> tators:  head -n 50
[03:40] <tators> u sure?
[03:40] <tators> k thx
[03:40] <bcardarella> badkitty: maybe. It's just a video from IGN that I wanted to watch.
[03:40] <BagelMaster> Nickrud: No clue, in Windoze I could just make it into an .iso and mount/burn, but I don't know how to in Linux
[03:41] <chaosrl> nickrud: thanks, i found what i was looking for in there :P (belated answer xD)
[03:41] <badkitty> BagelMaster: There is a great program to mount images
[03:41] <nickrud> BagelMaster: I have no clue about the format it comes in.
[03:41] <astyler> nickrud: thanks!
[03:41] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Look into gmount-iso
[03:41] <astyler> i'll give that a try
[03:41] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: I first need to compile the pieces into an image to mount
[03:42] <badkitty> BagelMaster: There are also nautilus scripts you can use to do this also.. although I haven't had luck with that one yet..
[03:42] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Part files?
[03:42] <BagelMaster> Yes
[03:42] <BagelMaster> Badkitty :^
[03:42] <Katanova> well 32 bit showed the loading screen at least :p
[03:42] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Tried googleing it?
[03:42] <INOSHU> I tried googleing your mom?
[03:42] <badkitty> Katanova: You have a quick connection dont you
[03:42] <frank23> BagelMaster: is there not an executable to run in that directory?
[03:43] <Katanova> lol na, i got the disk of mi mate
[03:43] <badkitty> Katanova: oh cool
[03:43] <umdoistres> jrib: show that the aplication apt can be found in the packages "sun java6 jdk".. what i do ?
[03:43] <BagelMaster> Frank23 Badkitty: File extensions are all .rXX, one .rar, one .nfo file
 well 32 bit showed the loading screen at least :p
[03:43] <Katanova> but it gets to local boot and then like dose nothing >>
[03:43] <Jangari> past tense? did something else go wrong?
[03:43] <Jangari> ah
[03:44] <frank23> BagelMaster: install unrar-nonfree  package and run unrar x file.rar
[03:44] <Katanova> lol so any ideas :p
[03:44] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Right I see.. Yah it should be able to be run then and it should self compile.. Atleast thats how it works in winblows
[03:44] <nickrud> Katanova: hit the enter key, do you see a login?
[03:44] <Katanova> no
[03:44] <nickrud> Katanova: alt-f2 , do you see a login?
[03:44] <Katanova> i hit enter and it come up with a new line :p
[03:44] <badkitty> BagelMaster: What did you say the other files were? You said something about a binary??
[03:45] <Katanova> i press F2 and it come up with some code for f2, but didnt try alt f2
[03:45] <Katanova> should i go try alt f2 now?
[03:45] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: That was just some vague instructions on the original place of download
[03:45] <nickrud> Katanova: yes, if you can see a login then you are installed but your video is not set up right for gui
[03:45] <cfedde> is there a trivial dns server for a small home network?  I'd rather not run bind if I don't have to.
[03:45] <frank23> BagelMaster: sorry the packege is just unrar
[03:45] <badkitty> BagelMaster: I haven't used parted rar files in linux but in windows you just start the first .rar and all the parts self extract and make on big file
[03:45] <kaoticsnow> quick question what package do I need to install VNC in ubuntu server, I dont want a gui from the console But I wana set it up so I can VNC into the server and get a desktop (for serving the net at work)
[03:46] <kaoticsnow> serfing the net that is
[03:46] <Katanova> well then ok. brb :)
[03:46] <BagelMaster> Frank23 Badkitty:  Ahh, I unrar'd the one .rar file
[03:46] <demon_spork>  When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday.
[03:46] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Did that work 4 u
[03:46] <BagelMaster> Frank23 Badkitty:  And got a linuxinstaller.bin
[03:46] <Jangari> kaoticsnow: ubuntu comes pre-built with a vnc viewes
[03:46] <Jangari> viewer
[03:46] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Ok so lets say you run the .bin file?
[03:47] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Or I think you can also click on the icon to run it too from nautilus?
[03:47] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: Nautilus?
[03:47] <Jangari> surfing the net via vnc? how horrible
[03:48] <Jangari> BagelMaster: nautilus is the file browser
[03:48] <BagelMaster> Jangari Badkitty: Oh, wow, never knew that!
[03:48] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: I'm pretty sure it's compiling the parts
[03:48] <badkitty> BagelMaster: The file browser.. from what ive gathered thats what it is
[03:48] <y_o_u> could someone please tell me how the heck i can ping google.com from 7.10, but not browse to it in firefox?
[03:48] <badkitty> BagelMaster: Great
[03:48] <Jangari> i didn't either until a little while ago
[03:49] <badkitty> y_o_u: Hmm.. running any proxies?
[03:49] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: Using a PIII doesn't mean it's going to work fat thought :/
[03:49] <y_o_u> but be able to browse to it in a windows 2000 vm running in 7.10? while having ipv6 turned off?
[03:49] <Jangari> I kept asking if there was a command to 'open' the working directory in a filebrowser, turns out it's just "nautilus /directory"
[03:49] <y_o_u> badkitty: no proxies, but good thought
[03:49] <y_o_u> just wierd stuff
[03:49] <BagelMaster> Badkitty: Argh, it tried to open it in gedit
[03:50] <kaoticsnow> Jangari: thanks
[03:50] <Jangari> found it, kaoticsnow?
[03:50] <badkitty> y_o_u: Hmmm its got to be a setting in firefox... This situation happened to me in windows (imagine that) I could ping a site, but not find it in the browser. WHen I returned to default settings everything worked
[03:50] <roshan> according to the book i'm reading, it says that if u use dh -h . in a directory it will tell u the partition. however, with the directory /sys it shows the partition as /sys. However that does not exits, can someone explain why it shows that.
[03:50] <badkitty> y_o_u: Maybe you can try reset to defaul your settings
[03:50] <nickrud> y_o_u: are you using bridged networking in the vm, so it provides it's own dns?  check /etc/resolv.conf  in linux, that's usually the culprit for your symtoms
[03:51] <umdoistres> whats that message when i try to search a apt ? "the aplication apt can be foun in this packages sun java-jdk" something like this..
[03:51] <badkitty> y_o_u: this is a vm?
[03:51] <y_o_u> nickrud: i thought the same, unfortunately, its correct (and its resolving great at the cli)
[03:51] <Flannel> roshan: if you type "mount" you'll see all sorts of non-physical partitions that are mounted.  Theyre various things used by the OS (ones a ramdisk for the kernel, etc)
[03:51] <nickrud> umdoistres: are you translating the error message? Where are you seeing it?
[03:52] <y_o_u> badkitty: default settings in firefox you mean? and its a win2k vmware image, running in 7.10, from disk
[03:52] <frank23> roshan: more properly, they're filesystems
[03:53] <DoYouKnow> Any fixes yet for that exploit? I read somewhere that the fix is already in the live source trees for hardy
[03:53] <Scunizi> What's the channel for Evolution? won't be needed if anyone here can tell me how to forward a message and actually have it include the original attachment.
[03:53] <badkitty> y_o_u: Yeah that is what I meant.. just a long shot from things Ive seen in windz
[03:53] <roshan> flannel: ah, thx, it did not know that non-physical partitions were called file systems. greatly appreciate it
[03:53] <Meshezabeel> Johnny_5 is alive
[03:53] <Jangari> #evolution ?
[03:53] <Jangari> probably not
[03:53] <Jangari> in fact i doubt it has its own chan
[03:53] <Jangari> use thunderbird instead
[03:53] <nickrud> Scunizi:   irc.gnome.org , #evolution I think
[03:53] <Scunizi> Jangari, it is but I forgot which server.. not freenode.
[03:53] <Jangari> ah
[03:54] <Scunizi> nickrud, thanks.. I forgot the server..
[03:54] <y_o_u> badkitty: worth a shot, thanks for the go
[03:54] <Jangari> does anyone know how to get my laptop switching off the speakers when headphones are plugged in?
[03:55] <nickrud> umdoistres:  what are you doing when you see that error?
[03:55] <Meshezabeel> Jangari, do you have a different set of headphones you could try?
[03:55] <frank23> roshan: no the filesystems are what's mounted. either virtual ones or physical ones (that are on a partition)
[03:55] <Jangari> i do, hold on, but i doubt it's the headphones, as the same headphones worked well under windows,
[03:56] <frank23> Jangari: try playing the the switches in the sound mixer
[03:56] <umdoistres> nickrud: oh.. i forget, but thanks for the atention..
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari: Some laptops dont use a physical switch from the pin when the headphones go in to kill the speakers they do it with software..  not sure how to fix it though
[03:56] <frank23> Jangari: there might be a switch that disables speakers when headphones are plugged in
[03:57] <Jangari> i think it's software, since the same laptop under windows used to disable the speakers like i wanted
[03:58] <roshan> roshan: ah, tyvm frank. that clears up a lot.
[03:58] <roshan> arghh
[03:58] <Jangari> but there ain't nothing in prefs > sound
[03:58] <roshan> frank: ah, tvm frank. that clears up a lot
[03:58] <Hammer89> Jangari: I have the same problem... still haven't figured out a fix for it
[03:58] <Jangari> mm
[03:58] <frank23> Jangari: did you look in the sound mixer app? the one with the different channels (Master, PCM...)

[03:58] <Jangari> surely some geek could come up with a bugfix
[03:58] <frank23> Jangari: in KDE it's KMix not sure about gnome
[03:59] <Hammer89> Jangari: out of curiosity... what laptop are you using?
[03:59] <Meshezabeel> Jangari, you are probably correct, if it works under windows then it should work under linux. I've had headphones in the past that didn't work properly and the sound would play through both the headphones and speakers.

[04:00] <Jangari> frank23: i can't find that app
[04:00] <Jangari> should i have it by default?
[04:00] <kaoticsnow> Jangari: ubuntu server should havce a VNC server by default you said?
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari: Please dont use enter for punctuation hitting enter every three or four words get annoying
[04:01] <Meshezabeel> Hammer89, what laptop you using?

[04:01] <Jangari> sorry Jack_Sparrow, i'll be good in future
[04:01] <kaoticsnow> yea I have Server installed no GUI by defalut all command line,

[04:02] <Hammer89> Jangari: one thing I haven't tried yet that I hope to try... is to run a Ubuntu 8.04 alpha LiveCD to see if sound works on it
[04:02] <CaptainMorgan> not getting a decent answer... and ubuntu folks tend to be smart- plus still all started around the evolution of pidgin:  is yahoo only allowed to talk to yahoo? (IM's), running multiple machines, multiple clients and it appears AIM users can't communicate with known yahoo users. The yahoo users say I'm offline, and I say the yahoo users are offline.. is there some incompatibility issue going on? Ive tested Trillian, AIM, and
[04:02] <CaptainMorgan>  Pidgin, on more than four machines- what might be the problem?
[04:03] <kaoticsnow> What packages need to be installed for VNC server to operate? I dont want a GUI at the local system just the Ability to VNC to a GUI.

[04:03] <mneptok> Jangari: are you comfortable in a terminal?
[04:03] <Katanova> this time it say (in gui) low gfx mode and i pressed continue and it went back to where i was before @ the loacl boot scripts, so i press alt f2 and came up with the console... i know nothing about the linux console lol
[04:03] <Jangari> mneptok: more or less
[04:03] <nickrud> Katanova:  what video card do you have?
[04:03] <Katanova> 8600 GT
[04:03] <Katanova> ASUS
[04:04] <Hammer89> Meshezabeel: I'll try that
[04:04] <Meshezabeel> Hammer89, Jangari but try alsamixer and see if it works first
[04:04] <nickrud> Katanova: a sec, I want to check someting
[04:04] <Katanova> ok :)
[04:04] <bastid_raZor> CaptainMorgan; from my understanding you can't cross talk IM's .. pidgin allows you to have only 1 application that handles them all. that doesn't mean if you have yahoo you can talk to someone on aim via a yahoo account

[04:05] <JJNova> Hi. I was hoping someone could tell me how to remove all the packages included with a dummy package. For instance, I installed lde-core , and would now like to remove everything that was installed with kde-core , but just removing kde-core only removes the dummy package.
[04:06] <Hammer89> Meshezabeel: Okay

[04:08] <Keiyentai> I know Ubuntu works with the X1K series. Though when I have tried other distro's it doesent seem to like the HD
[04:09] <joey_> badkitty: so what exactly do i do?
[04:09] <Hammer89> Meshezabeel: hmmmm... they just released new alsa drivers...
[04:09] <ere4si> kaoticsnow, try this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[04:09] <JJNova> thinman1189, I have tried #sudo apt-get remove kde-core -purge
[04:09] <nickrud> Katanova: the best howto I found is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2791480 , you can do this at the console
[04:09] <badkitty> joey_: Go to a terminal and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

[04:11] <Meshezabeel> Hammer89, maybe this problem has been fixed in the new ones, worth a shot
[04:11] <mneptok> Jangari: aye, or an alsa restart
[04:11] <Benzin> So quiet.
[04:11] <Jangari> how can i restart alsa?
[04:11] <mneptok> Jangari: restart is easier. unloading all the alsa related modules is tiresome.
[04:11] <mon^rch> bye all
[04:11] <Sir_Sid> does the amarok package for ubuntu come with dcop compiled in it?
[04:11] <Jangari> mm, alright then, i'll give it a crack
[04:12] <mneptok> Jangari: via con headphones ;)
[04:12] <nickrud> mneptok: that is a classic of understatement
[04:12] <Meshezabeel> Hammer89, looks like on that site I gave you, that the -with-cards=hda-intel is important. So if the new alsa is compiled with this option by default it might be okay.

[04:14] <queuetue> Hi.  Is there a clean way to temporarily switch the system compiler to gcc 3.4, then switch it back after a compile is done?
[04:14] <nickrud> Keiyentai: not properly. You'll want to wait for hardy
[04:14] <CaptainMorgan> bastid_raZor, that's confusing, because Trillian supposedly can handle this
[04:14] <mneptok> Keiyentai: ATI *anything* is a crapshoot on Linux
[04:14] <Keiyentai> urg.
[04:14] <Keiyentai> Cause I want to dual boot.
[04:14] <zippytech> i have a full hard drive and been looking for days to find out why it is full
[04:14] <mneptok> Keiyentai: yeah. *thanks* ATI.
[04:14] <CaptainMorgan> at least it could bastid_raZor at one point it did, I'm 110% sure of it
[04:14]  * nickrud runs ati, and agrees, reluctantly
[04:15] <Keiyentai> I don't care if I can't have Beryl I just want to be able to boot it.

[04:16] <Keiyentai> I just don't wana make a coaster CD.
[04:16] <Meshezabeel> Keiyentai, what happened when you booted with those other systems?
[04:16] <Keiyentai> Know what I mean?
[04:16] <mneptok> Keiyentai: AFAIK you could even use the horrendous VESA driver
[04:16] <compwiz18> um, Keiyentai how new is that card?
[04:16] <Keiyentai> With Sayabon it wont start up X and complains about the Driver. IN Mint..for some reason it thinks my CPU is a Centrino and then Fatal Errors
[04:17] <Smegzo1> My sources.list appears to be broken.  Its full of    "# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:"     What should I do?
[04:17] <Keiyentai> It's a VisonTek HD2600 so newish
[04:17] <Keiyentai> less then a year old
[04:17] <nickrud> Keiyentai: and after you get it running with vesa, you can use http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide to install a better one, but it'll only be good until the next kernel upgrade. You have to repeat it then
[04:17] <mneptok> Keiyentai: do you already own this card?
[04:17] <Keiyentai> yes I do
[04:17] <mneptok> munh.
[04:17] <Keiyentai> I am in Windows right now
[04:17] <Meshezabeel> wow, I've never even heard of VisonTek!
[04:18] <compwiz18> Keiyentai: so it's an ati chipset, so fglrx should support it, is my thinking
[04:18] <nickrud> !gutsysources | Smegzo1
[04:18] <ubotu> Smegzo1: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).

[04:19] <Keiyentai> Is there a DVD edition of 7.10 or just CD
[04:19] <compwiz18> Keiyentai: if the card is less then 4 months old, though, it may not be recognized by ubuntu gutsy because it would be newer then fglrx drivers
[04:19] <mneptok> Jangari: try changing that line you added to read "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-hp" (no quotes).
[04:19] <CaptainMorgan> ok, thanks bastid_raZor
[04:19] <badkitty> Pretty sure there is a dvd version

[04:19] <compwiz18> Keiyentai: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/
[04:20] <Keiyentai> the card is about 6 or so months at least

[04:30] <tonarp> how many disk do i need to burn ubuntu?
[04:30] <DanaG> I want Timidity to sound as good as the Audigy on MIDI.
[04:30] <DanaG> .... even if it means high CPU usage.
[04:30] <Starnestommy> tonarp: just one
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tonarp: one
[04:30] <tonarp> ok
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tonarp: Please burn at a slow speed
[04:30] <tonarp> why
[04:31] <DanaG> 4x is good.
[04:31] <thinman1189> does anyone know where I can find a tor/privoxy/ff/gaim/thunderbird/xchat/azureus guide for 7.10? !tor only gives for 6.10 and 7.04
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> tonarp: Some machines dont handle the high speed burns
[04:31] <Starnestommy> tonarp: higher speeds cause more errors
[04:31] <DanaG> The slower you burn (until you reach too slow), the better (more 'crisply', you could say) it burns.
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> tonarp: I have a couple of Dells that refuse to use cd's that are burned fast
[04:31] <DanaG> But don't go too slow -- I tried one at 1x or 2x and it was worse than a 4x or 8x.
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> 4 or 8 is fine
[04:32] <tonarp> ok thanks for your advice
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> tonarp: if you have trouble, there are some command line options you can use to get around hardware issues
[04:32] <ere4si> thinman1189, google search gave this as one result - http://faqf1.net.nz/index.php?title=Tor_On_Ubuntu_Gutsy
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Another earthquake milkshake,,,   southern calif.. sorry for the OT but it was a good one
[04:34] <thinman1189> thanks ere4si, I'll check it out tomorrow. good night.
[04:34] <r3n0c> hi, i was having a slight issue, when i boot my desktop has 2 cd drive icons
[04:34] <r3n0c> and in my computer:/// there is a CD-RW drive, followed by another icon which is the cd name, then the normal filesystem icon
[04:35] <DanaG> Anybody here use Timidity?
[04:35] <ere4si> thinman1189, just type in   tor in gutsy
[04:35] <r3n0c> i could get the extra icon off my desktop by removing all volume icons on desktop
[04:35] <r3n0c> but now i have this extra one in computer:///
[04:35] <r3n0c> anybody here know how it could happen?
[04:36] <thinman1189> thanks ere4si, I had been searching tor and privoxy in gutsy and the privoxy was throwing it off, even though prvioxy is included in most tor guides :'(
[04:37] <ere4si> k thinman1189
[04:37] <r3n0c> anybody know why this would happen: i ejected a disk, but it is still listed as being in the comp
[04:37] <r3n0c> but when i click on it it doesn't have any data
[04:37] <LoRez> how can I keep feisty from attempting to bring up my wireless interface on eth1?
[04:38] <dbmoodb> set it as eth2
[04:38] <dbmoodb> but does it really matter lorez
[04:38] <LoRez> uh, yeah, I'd like it to stop turning the damn thing back on.
[04:38] <r3n0c> anybody? i have an extra cd icon... after i eject
[04:39] <xopey> r3n0c: how are you ejecting
[04:39] <xopey> has anyone else had problems with java applications hanging in ubuntu on load
[04:39] <r3n0c> right click, eject on the cd drive
[04:39] <r3n0c> after i did that there is still an extra icon which is named the cd
[04:39] <r3n0c> if i put the disk back in, there are 2 icons on the desktop
[04:40] <Katanova> eh
[04:40] <xopey> hi Kata
[04:40] <xopey> sry, Katanova
[04:40] <ere4si> r3n0c, if you wait ten minutes is the icon still there?
[04:40] <Katanova> guess it just dont like mi 8600 gt :p
[04:40] <Rubin> r3n0c, look in /media and see if theres something in there that shouldnt be
[04:41] <r3n0c> Rubin,  yea it is empty
[04:41] <Biblio> hello. i need to communicate with mark shuttleworth. i have tried the contact adress at his blog, but it seems dead. is there anyone here who could provide some alternative one, or the one of someone who could in turn reach him?
[04:41] <r3n0c> Rubin,  i was just wondering how i could get rid of the extra icon which now exists in my computer:/// and on my desktop
[04:41] <Rubin> r3n0c, can you right click and delete it? maybe its leftover from some previous window manager
[04:41] <ouellettesr> hello, if i wanted to create a tar.gz file would i do tar -czvf foo.tar.gz file.iso ?
[04:41] <Rubin> r3n0c, my understanding is those icons come from whats in /media
[04:42] <Rubin> ouellettesr, yes. but tarring a single file makes no sense
[04:42] <r3n0c> Rubin,  yeah that is what i thought, but it says can't send to trash
[04:42] <Rubin> r3n0c, hrm
[04:42] <r3n0c> Rubin,  i have a CD-RW drive, 'WinXP' icon, and Filesystem icon
[04:42] <r3n0c> the first and third were normal
[04:43] <r3n0c> but 'winxp' (name of the disk) shouldn't be there anymore after it is ejected
[04:43] <Rubin> r3n0c, look in your Desktop folder in your home directory
[04:43] <nomopofomo> how do i change the resolution of the login screen?
[04:43] <threefcata> hi, i'm trying to install XP after i installed ubuntu, but the XP says cannot write to MBR and stuck with..
[04:43] <threefcata> what's wrong
[04:43] <r3n0c> Rubin,  the desktop is empty, but it is set to show mounted volumes
[04:43] <Rubin> nomopofomo, it should be the same resolution as after you log in, isnt it?
[04:44] <ouellettesr> Rubin, you saying basically i cant make it any smaller?
[04:44] <nomopofomo> Rubin, no.
[04:44] <r3n0c> ( i could remove it in gconf-editor.... but then i don't know if i have a disk in there... and technecially there are still 2 icons)
[04:44] <Rubin> r3n0c, tried restarting x?
[04:44] <r3n0c> Rubin,  yea was gonna try that in a sec, gonna try to reinsert the disk first
[04:44] <Rubin> ouellettesr, you can, i think, but its not easy
[04:44] <DanaG> Gaack, Timidity playback is way uneven.
[04:44] <nomopofomo> Rubin, is there any way I might be able to restore all settings related to graphics like when everything was first installed?
[04:44] <r3n0c> Rubin,  yea brb, i'll try  a restart
[04:45] <Rubin> r3n0c, or you could try killing and restarting nautilus
[04:45] <mike_> can anyone tell me why gparted is taken so long to take to find my two 80gb drive
[04:45] <mike_> s
[04:45] <badkitty> threefcata: Install windows first then ubuntu.. make life easy
[04:45] <Rubin> nomopofomo, not all, but those settings are stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so you can back that up and restore it
[04:45] <threefcata> badkitty, then i had to go through a hell lot of configuration..
[04:46] <r3n0c> Rubin,  yea a restart seems to have fixed it
[04:46] <Katanova> so can anyone help with the 8600GT problem?
[04:46] <dward526> theefcata ?
[04:46] <Rubin> r3n0c, bug :/
[04:46] <nomopofomo> Rubin, what about the login screen?
[04:46] <badkitty> threefcata: waddayamean?
[04:47] <Rubin> nomopofomo, some of it is in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf or local.conf
[04:47] <threefcata> badkitty, i had been using this ubuntu for a while, and i did a fair amount of configuration, if i scrap it, i have to redo a lot..
[04:47] <Rubin> threefcata, you shouldnt have to scrap it
[04:48] <threefcata> Rubin, but i'm stuck with XP installation..
[04:48] <badkitty> threefcata: Cant you back it up first? All I know is installing windows after ubuntu is a pita
[04:48] <Rubin> threefcata, the install of xp fails?
[04:48] <Rubin> its not that hard badkitty you just have to reinstall grub is all
[04:48] <threefcata> badkitty, i can't find enough space now
[04:48] <badkitty> Rubin: Oh yah. hmm
[04:48] <Katanova> so noone can help with the 8600 GT problem :(
[04:48] <threefcata> Rubin, yes, it failed
[04:49] <Rubin> threefcata, iv never seen linux do anything to a disk that make xp refuse to install
[04:49] <badkitty> threefcata: You gotta make sure you have enough space for xp
[04:49] <Rubin> threefcata, maybe somethin else is goin on?
[04:49] <Rubin> yeah. is there enough free space?
[04:49] <Rubin> what exactly does it say?
[04:49] <_coredump_> anyone here uses the internet dj console with gutsy 7.10?
[04:49] <threefcata> Rubin, yeah, i guess the fact that i'm running the installation program from harddisk has something to do about it..
[04:50] <threefcata> i made the NTFS where XP is going to be bootable and boot from there..
[04:50] <threefcata> then ran winnt32.exe..
[04:50] <puff> Anyone here running gutsy on a thinkpad t43p?
[04:50] <threefcata> but it never get through the step where it is writing to MBR
[04:51] <Katanova> so it copys all the files but not writes the MBR?
[04:51] <Rubin> threefcata, ohhh
[04:51] <dward526> threefcata:  why not a disk install?
[04:51] <puff> threefcata: How big was the NTFS where XP is going to be?
[04:51] <Rubin> threefcata, theres issues with linux making ntfs partitions. dont do that. just free up space and leave it unformatted
[04:51] <Katanova> i maybe could like make the MBR with something else
[04:51] <threefcata> puff, 10g
[04:52] <threefcata> Rubin, so use XP to make a ntfs out from free space?
[04:52] <Rubin> threefcata, yep
[04:52] <Rubin> threefcata, or you can create the partition, but dont put a filesystem on it
[04:52] <jetscreamer> Katanova: change stuff up to suit your box: http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt
[04:52] <threefcata> dward526, i don't have a disk in hand, and i did the same last time with another laptop, i guess it won't be hard..
[04:52] <Rubin> threefcata, but best to let xp do the whole thing its way
[04:52] <puff> threefcata: Be advised, from what I'm told, that's just barely big enough.  Also, winxp doesn't have an explicit swap partition, so you'll have to watch and make sure you always have at least 1gb free in the XP partition.
[04:52] <nomopofomo> Rubin, where can I find local.conf?
[04:52] <Rubin> nomopofomo, /etc/gdm
[04:53] <threefcata> puff, ok i will take note of that
[04:53] <Katanova> jetscremer: lol how :p
[04:54] <Katanova> do i edit a file on the disk or something?
[04:54] <dward526> threefcata:  Rubin is right, do not create an ntfs partion with linux, let xp do that
[04:54] <geekworx> hello people i'm running linux ubuntu 7.10 an i wants to install unrealircd can somebody help me how to install it? the irc server?
[04:54] <geekworx> !ircd
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ircd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:54] <geekworx> !unrealircd
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unrealircd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:55] <geekworx> !IRCd
[04:55] <geekworx> LOL
[04:55] <geekworx> !hybrid
[04:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hybrid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:55] <Rubin> geekworx, this isnt the proper place for that really
[04:55] <geekworx> damn :S
[04:55] <geekworx> Rubin: where to go to help me with that?
[04:55] <threefcata> Rubin, dward526 alright, thx guys, maybe getting a XP disk is the best solution
[04:55] <Starnestommy> geekworx: I think unreal has its own support network on irc.unrealircd.org.  Since it's not part of ubuntu, we can't support it
[04:55] <geekworx> ok
[04:55] <neopsyche> hi what do i type to get old mouse working on xorg?
[04:55] <Rubin> geekworx, check the unreal website for their irc channel maybe. or try searchirc.com
[04:55] <neopsyche> Previously i typed something like dev/ttyS0
[04:55] <geekworx> k
[04:55] <geekworx> thx
[04:55] <neopsyche> does anyone know the exact command?
[04:56] <Rubin> plus unreal sucks :)
[04:56] <Rubin> neopsyche, typed where?
[04:56] <oboy03> why do i always have this gcalc tool error after installing?
[04:56] <cdubya> I setup my wireless connection on this laptop (Compaq c751, Atheros AR5007) using instructions I found for using madwifi.....I can get around on my local network, but am unable to get out. Everytime I try to modify the nameserver, it defaults back to the original. Any ideas?
[04:56] <neopsyche> inxorg .conf
[04:56] <neopsyche> Rubin: in xorg
[04:57] <neopsyche> Rubin The configuration file
[04:57] <Rubin> cdubya, theres a setting for dhcpcd (in the conf file) to disable its overwriting of resolv.conf
[04:57] <cdubya> !madwifi
[04:57] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:57] <olskolirc> i am having a problem with updating my repositories.  - when it gets to security, it fails, says repository is outdated
[04:57] <Rubin> neopsyche, xorg.conf?
[04:57] <olskolirc> what do I do?
[04:57] <Ryu010> im running gos and i cant get bcm43xx to install can someone help me out?
[04:58] <Rubin> olskolirc, check your repositories
[04:58] <olskolirc> what am i supposed to look for Rubin
[04:58] <olskolirc> they are still there
[04:58] <ere4si> olskolirc, which ubuntu are you running
[04:58] <Rubin> olskolirc, if you can get around on the commandline, look in /etc/apt/sources.list for a line or two with the wrong distribution name
[04:58] <puff> What's the "super" button on a thinkpad keyboard?
[04:58] <olskolirc> Gutsy
[04:58] <Ryu010> im running gos and i cant get bcm43xx to install can someone help me out?
[04:58] <olskolirc> ok
[04:58] <flexgrip> Can someone tell me - in separate x screen setup (nvidia-settings) can I also bind a separate keyboard and mouse to each session?
[04:59] <jetscreamer> i think mine says thinkpad, but no idea anyway
[04:59] <Rubin> puff, i think you have to configure super on any modern keyboard
[04:59] <Rubin> puff, ie, make it right alt or something
[04:59] <cr4z3d> puff, should be the windows key
[04:59] <Katanova> so how to boot into the live disk with an 8600GT?
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Ryu010: Please dont repeat.. what is gos...  fwcutter works for normal ubuntu just fine
[05:00] <olskolirc> !pastebin

[05:00] <travisat> Katanova: hit F6 and delete quiet and splash
[05:00] <puff> cr4z3d: I don't see a windows key on my thinkpad keyboard :-)
[05:00] <nomopofomo> Every time I log out and log back in, my screen resolution resets to something much lower... :(
[05:00] <badkitty> puff .. windows key??
[05:00] <jhoon> g
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Katanova: Most likely need to force vesa mode from F6
[05:00] <flexgrip> Can someone tell me - in separate x screen setup (nvidia-settings) can I also bind a separate keyboard and mouse to each session?
[05:01] <jhoon> hi i leaning inglish
[05:01] <Katanova> i did, it gets up to "Low gfx settings" so i press continue and it goes to console >>
[05:01] <Katanova> how to do that jack?
[05:01] <zcat[1]> does anyone sell a keyboard with a penguin key instead?
[05:01] <puff> badkitty: ask cr4z3d
[05:01] <Rubin> nomopofomo, how do you set it back?
[05:01] <demon_spork> Oh my, I just watched the whole userlist of this chan scroll through my terminal
[05:01] <demon_spork> lol
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   select vesa mode 1024
[05:02] <travisat> Katanova: hit F6 and delete quiet and splash
[05:02] <travisat> oops wrong window
[05:02] <olskolirc> here are my repositories in pastbin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55673/
[05:02] <olskolirc> what is wrong with my repositories
[05:02] <demon_spork> Whenever I try to do a graphical login, X just restarts after it starts to load the desktop. I don't know what to do
[05:03] <nomopofomo> Rubin, in screens and graphics.
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Katanova: If you get to cli.. use the command I gave above
[05:03] <Rubin> nomopofomo, try logging out and pressing ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:03] <nomopofomo> BRB
[05:03] <KingJerk> whois kingjerk
[05:03] <nomopofomo> Rubin, what will that do btw?
[05:03] <Rubin> nomopofomo, restart the x server
[05:03] <threefcata> one more question, how to just make a partition but not put a file system on it?
[05:03] <Rubin> i think rising and brenny just tried it :/
[05:03] <threefcata> can i do it using gparted?
[05:04] <uchiha_furuno> :-*
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> KingJerk: Were you not already banned once today?
[05:04] <Rubin> threefcata, best to just leave empty space.
[05:04] <threefcata> ok
[05:04] <olskolirc> all of my security repositories won't update
[05:05] <Rubin> olskolirc, paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin.ca
[05:05] <Rubin> and what error do you get exactly?
[05:06] <nomopofomo> Rubin, it always resets to 1280x768.........
[05:06] <Rubin> nomopofomo, thats odd. try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly
[05:06] <Rubin> nomopofomo, tbh i havnt really used the gui to do it
[05:07] <nomopofomo> Rubin, in fact, I replaced the entire contents of the conf file with the contents of a file from 4 days ago when things were working fine.
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo: Please check the v/h refresh rates on your monitor...  If they are wrong it will drop to the first res and v/h that work
[05:07] <Katanova> i guess noone can help with the 8600GT problem them :p oh well
[05:07] <Rubin> nomopofomo, yeah, what Jack_Sparrow said.
[05:07] <jetscreamer> i did already
[05:07] <mike_> hi all i have a drive that came out of a mac and now is a slave in my ubuntu machine, its name is Storage HD how would i go about formatting that, thanks alot
[05:07] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, the refresh rate is set to something ridiculous like 73hz. Is that the problem?
[05:07] <Katanova> yeah but u didnt tell me how to do that lol :p
[05:08] <jetscreamer> read the link
[05:08] <SupaFly> Hey are there bandwidth monitor tools for kubuntu? i just wana keep track of what i dl/ul each month, i need it pretty fast though :S
[05:08] <Katanova> i'm new to ubuntu
[05:08] <jetscreamer> http://linux.hfds.com/files/n-i.txt
[05:08] <Rubin> Katanova, i dunno about anyone else, but i have no clue what a 8600GT even is and you havnt actually asked a usefull question.
[05:08] <jetscreamer> !nvidia
[05:08] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:08] <Katanova> sure
[05:08] <Katanova> how to install drivers while its not even installed?
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo: Certainly could be, but check the other two rates as well horizsync and vert refresh
[05:08] <jetscreamer> you don't even have the card installed?
[05:09] <Katanova> i cant even boot into the live disk so :S
[05:09] <Katanova> no the os
[05:09] <betHa> hy
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> or the other way around..  getting way late here
[05:09] <Rubin> Katanova, it wont boot?
[05:09] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, where can I learn more about how to properly configure the conf file?
[05:09] <Katanova> nop,
[05:09] <Rubin> Katanova, try the alternate cd
[05:09] <jetscreamer> actually, yes you can, but it's tricky. use the text installer
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !training
[05:09] <ubotu> A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training
[05:09] <jetscreamer> 'alternate cd'
[05:09] <Katanova> i'm running the 8600gt in vista right now...
[05:09] <Katanova> where to download the alternate cd?
[05:09] <Rubin> what makes you think its the video cards fault?
[05:09] <jetscreamer> i'm running the 6600gt in debian myself
[05:10] <SupaFly> Hey are there bandwidth monitor tools for kubuntu? i just wana keep track of what i dl/ul each month, i need it pretty fast though :S c'mon there must be SOMETHING!
[05:10] <jetscreamer> i know it's the card, and not the cards fault
[05:10] <Katanova> no i think drivers...
[05:10] <jetscreamer> not supported
[05:10] <Katanova> where can i download this other cd?
[05:10] <jetscreamer> you can get the livecd to boot though, fyi
[05:10] <jetscreamer> !alternate cd
[05:10] <ubotu> The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[05:10] <jetscreamer> gah
[05:10] <jetscreamer> how helpful
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Katanova:  f6 at start or install and try a couple of hese before the --    xmodule=vesa, vga=normal,  xdrvr=vesa,
[05:10] <Katanova> lol good try
[05:11] <Katanova> ok i will try that
[05:11] <jetscreamer> Jack_Sparrow: setting xvrefresh and xhrefresh also helps.... and vga=normal sometimes too
[05:11] <jetscreamer> oh you said that one
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Katanova: Your card is specifically noted as not supported in the nvidia wiki page
[05:11] <Jordan_U> Is there any way to get a replacement power supply?
[05:12] <Jordan_U> sorry, wrong channel
[05:12] <Katanova> so your saying there is noway for it to work?
[05:12] <jetscreamer> yes you go to microcenter and buy one
[05:12] <jetscreamer> Jordan_U: they're on sale at microcenter
[05:12] <tanlaan> hello everyone, I need help with my desktop. All of my icons *except for my CD/DVD icon which showed up because of I have a DVD in* have gone away, these icons were home and system icons. How can I get them back?
[05:12] <jetscreamer> kata: no you're being told it will work given the proper instructions
[05:12] <putnum> how can i use putty and view my linux desktop via the internet?
[05:12] <jetscreamer> Katanova: ^^
[05:13] <r3n0c> does somebody know what temp my cpu/mobo should run at since.... 47C for cpu and 42C for mobo seems way to high
[05:13] <putnum> ssh right?
[05:13] <Katanova> So i needa download the other disk then manualy install the drivers?
[05:13] <jetscreamer> Katanova: might be easier just to use the other cd
[05:13] <jetscreamer> basically
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Katanova: HAve you READ the wiki page for nvidia
[05:13] <jetscreamer> heh
[05:13] <Rubin> putnum, for the graphics you need VNC with or without putty
[05:13] <jetscreamer> obvious answer
[05:13] <jumbers> Hey guys, I ordered a Dell Inspiron notebook last night with Ubuntu preinstalled on it. What is going to be the easiest way to transfer everything from my current notebook to the new one?
[05:13] <Katanova> the problem is, i cant find these other disks :p
[05:13] <putnum> ok
[05:13] <jetscreamer> !minimal
[05:13] <ubotu> 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
[05:13] <jetscreamer> there
[05:14] <Katanova> ty
[05:14] <DrDerek> I lost the game
[05:14] <Rubin> jumbers, best thing i can tell you is to buy 300 gig ide disk, and an external usb enclosure. you can use it to transfer your files AND as a backup in case something happens.
[05:14] <r3n0c> is 47C to high for my cpu temp? and 42C for my mobo?
[05:14] <r3n0c> (when just idle)
[05:14] <Rubin> jumbers, failing that, you can transfer your files to the new pc using scp
[05:14] <jetscreamer> Katanova: i thought you had ubuntu installed and just wanted to get the card to work... my link was for that
[05:14] <Rubin> jumbers, or winscp etc
[05:15] <Katanova> ok ic now ty :D
[05:15] <jetscreamer> Katanova: use it after :)
[05:15] <jumbers> Rubin: What folders should I be backing up then?
[05:15] <Katanova> :) will do
[05:15] <olskolirc> here Rubin :-( http://pastebin.ca/900813
[05:16] <putnum> is there a good howto for setting up vnc+putty to connect to ubuntu?
[05:16] <Rubin> olskolirc, see how some say fiesty and some say gutsy? you cant do that unlessy ou know what your diong.
[05:17] <demon_spork> how would I modify the Session list of programs without being able to get to the GUI?
[05:17] <olskolirc> I didn't do that it is just like that :-(

[05:18] <do0zman> When i try to start ventrilo in wine the program stops responding how do i fix this?
[05:18] <genii> putnum: If you want to run X over putty look instead at FreeNX
[05:18] <genii> !freenx | putnum
[05:18] <ubotu> putnum: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX

[05:20] <SupaFly> can someone please explain WTF this crap means, thanks http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55675/

[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> SupaFly: Please dont talk like that in here.  Please also give a description of the problem

[05:22] <SupaFly> Jack_Sparrow i have a problem with a package, im not exactly a very tech person and i dont actually know what the problem is but here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55675/
[05:22] <Rubin> SupaFly, it means you installed some package from (hopefully) some unknown source and it had a bug or problem and has broken your package management system
[05:22] <SupaFly> its the stuff in the 'terminal'
[05:23] <tanlaan> my home and system icons randomly disappeared from my desktop, I still have my DVD icon though. Any help?
[05:23] <evanotten> I am not sure anyone can offer any help, but any ideas would be great.  Has anyone used $hit talker v1.2 on windows?  It is a text-to-speach customizeable soundboard and its ideal for prank calls.  Does Linux have anything similar aside from Festival?
[05:23] <SupaFly> how do i fix the package management system?
[05:23] <Rubin> SupaFly, if you have some patience, theres some complicated commandline stuff that can maybe get you out of it
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> SupaFly: You do not need to be a techy person to understand how to be polite in a busy room, where you are asking for help
[05:23] <SupaFly> ok, ill give it ago

[06:08] <Dezine> I want to extract the audio from an AVI, how can I?
[06:09] <Dezine> or, to say it better, what program can do that?
[06:09] <jetscreamer> mencoder
[06:09] <jetscreamer> or a front end
[06:09] <jetscreamer> there are many
[06:09] <compwiz18> amin1: on my computer, /etc/X11/X is symlinked to /usr/bin/Xorg - is that the case on yours, and if it is, does /usr/bin/Xorg exist?
[06:09] <jetscreamer> there's also transcode
[06:10] <Dezine> Alright
[06:10] <jetscreamer> avidemux is easy to use
[06:10] <jetscreamer> easiest i've found
[06:10] <amin1> hi, when i install my ubuntu..it will appear at a comand-typing thingy..how can i make it to the desktop?
[06:10] <Dezine> Sounds great, I'll try those, thanks.
[06:11] <sn00zer> amin1, $startx
[06:11] <compwiz18> amin1: login, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start -- but you probably have a configuration error. What graphics card do you have?

[06:20] <FloodBot3> amin1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:20] <ATG> So, is it just me, or is ca.archive.ubuntu.com down? and if so, is there something I can use instead?
[06:20] <litius> allowing everybody to use your sound device
[06:20] <v> I want to convert a pdf to text, but the  document is rotated, what's the solution

[06:21] <rey> ok thank tou men
[06:21] <compwiz18> !ask
[06:21] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:21] <Ein_> how I can delete folder from terminal? is it rmdir?
[06:21] <rey> ubotu:  ok thank tou men grasias por tus atenciones
[06:22] <compwiz18> Ein_: rm -r foldername
[06:22] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, no it didnt help, i can only play sound in one app at a time.
[06:22] <litius> Qwel, will this help: http://www.goonda.org/wireless/aironet/
[06:22] <amin1> what should i do cuz my ubuntu is only ended up at a command console-thingy...how do i make it to the desktop ( this is my frirst time installing ubuntu)
[06:22] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, start "the other" app from the terminal, try to play something there, paste the output
[06:22] <litius> (from the terminal)
[06:23] <Ein_> it seems works
[06:23] <Ein_> cool
[06:23] <Ein_> thanks bro
[06:23] <Qwel> I will check it out litius
[06:23] <Qwel> Thanks
[06:23] <litius> amin1, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:23] <compwiz18> !alsa | SaadS|AboutUs
[06:24] <litius> Qwel, cool
[06:24] <ubotu> SaadS|AboutUs: 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
[06:24] <litius> sorry  - Cisco is not my forte
[06:24] <amin1> what should i type? this? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:24] <xavieran> welcome back bullgard4
[06:24] <litius> amin1, yes
[06:24] <litius> "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[06:24] <bullgard4> xavieran: Hello!
[06:24] <litius> and enter your root password
[06:25] <kahrytan> litius-> not root, admin password
[06:25] <compwiz18> sudo password
[06:25] <litius> this will pull GUI desktop (Gnome) to your beautiful Ubuntu
[06:25] <litius> kahrytan, yes
[06:25] <litius> sorry
[06:25] <kahrytan> !root
[06:25] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:25] <litius> it can be admin if admin is in SUDOERs
[06:25] <ATG> Ok, ca.archive.ubuntu.com is down. Can someone point me in the right direction to using an alternative repo? I'm not asking for a walkthrough; just something to google would work. I can't seem to find anyresults..
[06:26] <litius> so "THAT OTHER" password, I think I should put it :)
[06:26] <xavieran> ATG: Search the forums?
[06:26] <ATG> xavieran: those are back up? thanks
[06:26] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, it plays but gives a whole bunch of weird errors: ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card 'I82801BAICH2'
[06:26] <kahrytan> litius->  the password you use to login.
[06:26] <SaadS|AboutUs> and more
[06:26] <_nix_> Hello everybody.. I don't know where's the laptop support channel but anyone know how to reset the bios in a laptop? I've forgot the supervisor password :-(
[06:26] <xavieran> ATG: Yeah,well,they work fine for me
[06:26] <kahrytan> amin1->  the password you use to login.
[06:26] <compwiz18> ATG:  synaptic -> settings -> repositories -> downoad from
[06:26] <ATG> compwiz18, thanks
[06:26] <litius> kahrytan, it is not me - it is "amin1"
[06:27] <kahrytan> _nix_->  it depends on the bios
[06:27] <litius> for me it actually is quite a different password
[06:27] <litius> ;)
[06:27] <kahrytan> _nix_->  Different bios have different master passwords.
[06:27] <_nix_> kahrytan: I think its a pheonix bios.. an acer notebook
[06:27] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, hit us with the output
[06:27] <xavieran> ATG: Or go to System>Administration>Software Sources and a choice of mirrors should be available on the main page
[06:27] <compwiz18> !pastebin | SaadS|AboutUs
[06:27] <ubotu> SaadS|AboutUs: 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)
[06:27] <kahrytan> _nix_->  then google  pheonix bios master passwords.
[06:28] <_nix_> kahrytan: oh so there's such a thing as a master password!! k maybe I'll google or pester the customer care.. thanks a lot :-)
[06:28] <Slart> bios have master passwords?? 0.o
[06:28] <kahrytan> _nix_->  yes there is
[06:28] <kahrytan> Slart->  You didnt know that?
[06:28] <compwiz18> Slart: kind seems like it defeats the point of putting a password on it, doesn't it?
[06:28] <xavieran> Slart:Can reset them though by simply pulling the battery out...the sys clock battery
[06:29] <litius> BIOS have "Super User" or "Master" passwords aside from the regular user password - yes.
[06:29] <Slart> kahrytan: nope.. I've always removed the battery.. or found a reset button or something
[06:29] <kahrytan> xavieran-> try doing that to a laptop...
[06:29] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55685/
[06:29] <kahrytan> _nix_-> http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-passwords.htm
[06:29] <xavieran> kahrytan: If you pull out the laptops normal battery it has the same effect
[06:29] <ATG> working great... thanks again; saved my ass once more

[06:30] <compwiz18> SaadS|AboutUs, what do you get when you run "alsa-mixer"
[06:30] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, what "command" do you run from shell (terminal)?
[06:30] <Neeku> hi all
[06:30] <Neeku> i want to install dia-gnome (download the package)
[06:31] <kahrytan> xavieran->  What!? no backup?
[06:31] <kahrytan> xavieran->  seems dumb to me
[06:31] <xavieran> Neeku: Try sudo apt-get install dia-gnome
[06:31] <Neeku> i recieve an error: dependency is not satisfiable: dia-common
[06:31] <Neeku> what can i do?
[06:31] <simi> hi, the screen resolution is not saved, it always defaults to  maximum , how can i make it saved?
[06:31] <compwiz18> Neeku: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install dia-common
[06:31] <compwiz18> maybe?
[06:31] <xavieran> kahrytan, It works though!
[06:31] <Neeku> xavieran: it doesn't work since my internet connection is so weak these days
[06:31] <xavieran> Neeku: Try sudo apt-get install dia-gnome dia-common
[06:31] <vicsaurus> is there an xfce core type package like gnome-core?
[06:31] <xavieran> Ah...
[06:31] <Neeku> compwiz18: i can't install anything via terminal
[06:32] <compwiz18> Neeku: why not?
[06:32] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, alsa-mixer returns: bash: alsa-mixer: command not found
[06:32] <compwiz18> vicsaurus: I think there is an xubuntu-desktop pacakge
[06:32] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, and i used this to launch from terminal :~/Music/Black Sun Empire$ vlc 01\ -\ Arrakis.mp3
[06:32] <xavieran> Neeku, try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:32] <compwiz18> SaadS|AboutUs: sorry - I though alsa-mixer was installed with alsa
[06:32] <kahrytan> xavieran->  Which is easier, master password or opening a case and playing with jumpers/battery?
[06:33] <xavieran> Neeku, That should fix any probs with your apt
[06:33] <xavieran> kahrytan, If you are an evil government agent,playing with the batter...
[06:33] <vicsaurus> hmm, not sure if its just the minimal installation though, I'll check the site to see whats in it, thanks compwiz
[06:33] <xavieran> *battery
[06:34] <kahrytan> xavieran->  no such thing as evil gov agent.
[06:34] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, type: sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer
[06:34] <feno> hello
[06:34] <xavieran> kahrytan, Not in america no...
[06:34] <compwiz18> vicsaurus: you can try install xfce4 too
[06:34] <kahrytan> xavieran->  making a joke
[06:34] <xavieran> Oh...xD
[06:34] <Neeku> compwiz18: i don't know, there were some cables torn in the ocean and since then i can't download anything from terminal
[06:34] <compwiz18> vicsaurus: xfdesktop4 too
[06:34] <Neeku> this is the error:
[06:34] <vicsaurus> lol

[06:34] <Neeku> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[06:35] <vicsaurus> so many
[06:35] <vicsaurus> thanks man
[06:35] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, i also got E: Couldn't find package alsa-mixer
[06:35] <compwiz18> vicsaurus: sorry, I was just reading down the synaptic package list, and as I read, I kept finding better looking packages :D
[06:35] <canthony> anyone know why compiz kills all the windows for a few seconds when it starts
[06:36] <compwiz18> Neeku: you can try a different repository server Synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download From
[06:36] <kahrytan> canthony->  it replaces metacity
[06:36] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, let me uncheck the cd source from software sources and try again
[06:36] <xavieran> canthony, Yes it replaces the window manager which you have running...
[06:36] <pier357> blank to all I have a problem with the installation of danger deep
[06:36] <pier357> offers this error to me....!Caught exception: Error opening directory '/usr/share/games/dangerdeep/objects/airplanes/'
[06:36] <canthony> yes
[06:36] <canthony> that it does
[06:36] <xavieran> canthony, and?
[06:36] <canthony> when you go back to metacity though
[06:36] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, nope same error E: Couldn't find package alsa-mixer
[06:36] <kahrytan> canthony->  thats why you can use metacity --replace or compiz --replace to change between the two
[06:36] <canthony> it does not KILL it
[06:36] <canthony> it replaces it
[06:37] <xavieran> canthony, Metacity also replaces compiz
[06:37] <canthony> basically
[06:37] <demon_spork> When I try to mount a partition that I know to be ext3, it is the root filesystem of a different ubuntu install, mount cannot determine the fs type. I have tried fsck, and it can't make heads or tails of it either, but when I boot into windows, the partition is fully accessible via ext2 IFS. What can I do to fix this?
[06:37] <canthony> when i log into gnome...i dont want the gnome-panels and desktop icons to pop up then dissapear for 8 seconds
[06:37] <pier357> nobody can help me?
[06:37] <patogen> Is there some way I can see how long it takes for a software to run? It's a CLI-software and it encodes CD:s but doesn't tell me the total time for it to do this ... so I need it manually
[06:38] <compwiz18> patogen: time program-name
[06:38] <canthony> i am using the readahead to profile my login so it only takes about 12 seconds from login to fully loaded desktop
[06:38] <patogen> compwiz18: Nice, thank you :)
[06:38] <chrone> 00
[06:38] <litius> " sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer alsamixwergui"
[06:38] <canthony> i want it to be a smooth transition
[06:39] <litius> that will also give you GUI for alsamixer
[06:39] <Neeku> compwiz18:
[06:39] <Neeku> The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.
[06:39] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, again got E: Couldn't find package alsamixwergui
[06:39] <xavieran> litius, Spelt alsamixergui wrong...
[06:39] <ibara>  /quit
[06:39] <xavieran> should be :
[06:39] <canthony> is ther a way to start compiz earlier in the login process?  i tried with gnome sessions but no luck...
[06:39] <litius> wow..
[06:39] <xavieran> sudo apt-get install alsamixergui gnome-alsamixer
[06:39] <compwiz18> SaadS|AboutUs: shot in the dark here: sudo killall esd
[06:39] <litius> let me think
[06:40] <Neeku> please help me :)
[06:40] <SaadS|AboutUs> ty  xavieran its doing something...
[06:40] <Neeku> :(
[06:40] <canthony> i am in hardy right now...but gutsy did it to, and feisty didnt?
[06:40] <xavieran> canthony, I do not use readahead and compiz starts as the window manager automatically without the replacingness...
[06:41] <xavieran> Yes Neeku
[06:41] <compwiz18> canthony: on one of the computers I have here, it does the flicker thing, on another, it doesn't
[06:41] <SaadS|AboutUs> compwiz18, will try your suggestions too but let me see what this one does
[06:41] <canthony> hmmm
[06:41] <Neeku> xavieran: how can i get access to this software, dia?
[06:41] <xavieran> Neeku, Just a second...
[06:41]  * xavieran is searching google
[06:41] <canthony> the readahead makes a huge difference
[06:41] <compwiz18> canthony: the only different I know of is that one is faster then the other...
[06:41] <Neeku> xavieran: ok, thanks :)
[06:41] <canthony> cut my login time in half
[06:43] <Neeku> xavieran: i got it from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fd%2Fdia%2Fdia-gnome_0.96.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb&md5sum=3fbc799f7db88df83d85c8223c4ad7ab&arch=i386&type=main
[06:43] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius,  ok it was installed and i ran gome-alsamixer now what
[06:43] <Neeku> xavieran: but while installing i recieve an error
[06:43] <xavieran> I get it!
[06:43] <compwiz18> Neeku: go back to that website and download dia-common, and install it first
[06:43] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, says im using a Realtek card, i recall seeing an Intel HDA audio device
[06:43] <xavieran> Neeku, yes do what compwiz18 said
[06:44] <xavieran> Can you search for dia in synaptic and install it from there?
[06:44] <xavieran> Neeku,  Can you search for dia in synaptic and install it from there?
[06:45] <canthony> does anyone get a flicker or two between usplash and gdm??  its looks like change from x to a tty... like my graphics card is having issues.  again no problems with feisty
[06:45] <Neeku> compwiz18: xavieran: thanks, i'm downloading the package...
[06:45] <Neeku> xavieran: yes i tried chaniging the server
[06:45] <compwiz18> canthony: all my computers do that
[06:45] <pocketdrummer> What's a good program to convert audio file formats?
[06:45] <Neeku> xavieran: but it still has some errors
[06:45] <canthony> me too
[06:45] <canthony> haha and it anoyying
[06:45] <xavieran> Neeku, So you can't download anything from Synaptic either?
[06:45] <compwiz18> I hate it too
[06:45] <compwiz18> canthony: supposedly in Hardy they're going to work on it
[06:46] <canthony> im just trying to put a nice support package together so i can install to peoples boxes with all kids of presets and custom installations
[06:46] <canthony> support documents and remote desktop via freenx
[06:46] <Neeku> xavieran: how sould i do that?
[06:46] <canthony> i need it all ready for hardy
[06:46] <compwiz18> canthony: good idea if you do a lot of installing
[06:47] <compwiz18> Neeku: Synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from... | change that and see if you can download then.
[06:47] <canthony> yeah, i plan on downloading the entire hardy repo to a external hd so i can update ppl's boxes in like 2 minutes
[06:47] <xavieran> Neeku, Go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and then click Search...search for dia
[06:47] <Neeku> compwiz18: i did the same thing, but it doesn't work
[06:47] <compwiz18> canthony: might be pretty big :)
[06:48] <compwiz18> Neeku: if I'm talking to you now, then you should be able to access some type of repository server somewhere...
[06:48] <SaadS|AboutUs> anyone have any guesses? how can i make my soundcard default to Intel HDA instead of Realtek
[06:48] <canthony> never kno if ill have an active connection :) , plus i dont want to wait at clients houses for a 200mb update on 512kb line
[06:48] <Neeku> compwiz18: but how?
[06:48] <xavieran> Is there any way to update all computers to hardy without having to download the updates each time?
[06:48] <canthony> yeah
[06:48] <canthony> you can create a local repo
[06:48] <compwiz18> xavieran: you can setup an update server/cache thingy and use that
[06:48] <Neeku> compwiz18: see the error: Could not download all repository indexes
[06:48] <canthony> like what i said with the external hd
[06:48] <compwiz18> yeah
[06:49] <canthony> doesnt have to have EVERY package
[06:49] <compwiz18> Neeku: that's ok, see if you can install dia anyway
[06:49] <demon_spork> how do I find out what is causing GDM to restart every time I log in?
[06:49] <xavieran> canthony, I once had to update gutsy with about 300mb with a 10 k connection...and it broke at the end of it!
[06:49] <canthony> ugh
[06:49] <canthony> dirty
[06:49] <xavieran> Yep
[06:49] <achandrashekar> hello is anyone with familiar with an ltsp standalone setup?
[06:50] <xavieran> I was pretty P***ed off...
[06:50] <Dezine> is the official ubuntu site down?
[06:50] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, thinking..
[06:50] <litius> are you in the "audio" group?
[06:50] <xavieran> Neeku, Have you tried synaptic yet?
[06:51] <litius> brainstorming
[06:51]  * SaadS|AboutUs checking
[06:51] <litius> do "groups"
[06:51] <xavieran> SaadS|AboutUs, if not do sudo usermod -aG audio
[06:51] <xavieran> SaadS|AboutUs, if not do sudo usermod -aG audio username
[06:51] <Neeku> xavieran: yes, i did, it can't connect well!
[06:51] <xavieran> Neeku, How are you downloading dia?
[06:51] <xavieran> Neeku, From Firefox?
[06:52] <canthony> i probly dont need the whole repo
[06:52] <litius> also check what groups vlc is in
[06:52] <Neeku> i'm downloading it manual now, yes from fx
[06:52] <zubuntu> i am having an issue with NetworkManager. in order to use irc at my university, I have to ssh into a shell account and connect through that tunnel, after this has been running for a while, my processor hits about 80% and even when i close the connection the processor usage stays high is there a way i can restart the network manager?
[06:52] <xavieran> Neeku, Ok...
[06:52] <canthony> but i dont know how else to get the packages i need for any arbitrary install
[06:52] <Neeku> uh! at last!
[06:52] <litius> btw, can you play several things with a different player, not VLC?
[06:52] <Neeku> xavieran: compwiz18: thanks a lot :)
[06:52] <litius> like mplayer, etc..
[06:52] <xavieran> Neeku, Did it install?
[06:53] <adisini> somebody. please help me. i can't copy the file from my cd rom or other read only media. can u tell me how to fix it?
[06:53] <demon_spork> how do I find out what is causing GDM to restart every time I log in?
[06:53] <canthony> adisini elaborate a bit
[06:53] <blundar> anyone particularly familiar with libata and issues with serverworks?
[06:53] <sexcopter> adisini: can you see files on the cdrom at all?
[06:53] <xavieran> zubuntu, Try doing sudo killall nm-applet
[06:54] <blundar> I *had* Redhat Enterprise running somewhat smoothly
[06:54] <canthony> demon_spork how far does it get before gdm starts again
[06:54] <blundar> I can't even get ubuntu Gutsy to boot the kernel
[06:54] <adisini> sexcopter: yup
[06:54] <demon_spork> shows the desktop, loads kiba dock, the icons, panel and bam, restart, canthony
[06:54] <wyrmul> I am running from the live CD, and I wish to some how backup my system.  I have three partitions, /boot, /, and /home.  I would like to bundle away the / partition so that in case of failure to restore the system I would have to but reformat my / partition and restore the backup.  According to the live CD's add/remove... Archive manager is installed but I cannot seem to find it. Any suggestions?
[06:54] <xavieran> Or gksu gnome-system-monitor and try to find nm-applet
[06:54] <canthony> wow
[06:54] <xavieran> Or network-manager...
[06:54] <sexcopter> adisini: sounds odd, so what's stopping you? do you get an error message?
[06:54] <compwiz18> wyrmul: hit alt+f2 and type file-roller in the box
[06:55] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, i use Totem by default and tried out vlc, that command didnt help. Not that i want to listen to two streams at the same time, but i need this to have skype working in the background while im playing music.
[06:55] <canthony> adisini can you cp files from terminal
[06:55] <xavieran> wyrmul, Applications>Accessories>Archive Manager
[06:55] <Neeku> xavieran: yes
[06:55] <wyrmul> ah, and here I was trying "fileroller"  Many thanks sirrah!
[06:55] <Neeku> xavieran: but there's a problem
[06:55] <xavieran> Neeku, Awesome!
[06:55] <pocketdrummer> How would I go about downloading the mp3 encoder? And is there a better audio converter than Sound Converter?
[06:55] <Neeku> xavieran: yeah :)
[06:55] <xavieran> Neeku, Yeah?
[06:55] <adisini> sexcopter & canthony: wait a minute
[06:56] <demon_spork> canthony, do you have any ideas?
[06:56] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, ok.. but can you play TWO totem sessions?
[06:56] <litius> or two VLC sessions
[06:56] <litius> at the same time?
[06:56] <demon_spork> two vlc = yes
[06:56] <canthony> hmm demon one sec
[06:56] <vicsaurus> compwiz18: thanks for your help, xfce works great
[06:56] <demon_spork> don't ever highlight a whole folder of music and click "play with vlc"
[06:56] <compwiz18> vicsaurus: glad to hear it :)
[06:57] <demon_spork> becuase it doesn't add to a playlist like most media players
[06:57] <Neeku> xavieran: in MS Visio or Rational Rose, while drawing the connections, if two lines are pasing each other, it automatically reorders the lines so that they don't overlap on each other, doesn't dia do this?
[06:57] <demon_spork> it just upens a vlc for each one
[06:57] <blundar> anyone know how to troubleshoot libata / IDE drivers?
[06:57] <Neeku> xavieran: actually it's not doing it, i mean is there a way to do such a thing?
[06:57] <zubuntu> xavieran, no dice, applet is gone (how do i get it back?) and top still says NetworkManager is, well now it is up to 95%
[06:57] <canthony> is there no plugin for that vlc directory?
[06:57] <xavieran> Neeku, I am sorry...I don't use dia or MS Visio or the like...
[06:57] <blundar> they worked fine under redhat enterprise with a 2.4 kernel
[06:57] <litius> demon_spork, that was to a question to "SaadS|AboutUs" ;)
[06:57] <litius> but I glad you can ;)
[06:57] <canthony> i used to have a custom command to open directory with xmms
[06:57] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, how can i run two sessions of totem?
[06:57] <Neeku> xavieran: uhum... thanks a lot anyway. :)
[06:58] <xavieran> zubuntu, Kill NetworkManager
[06:58] <SHMO> anyone know if i can get multiple monitors running on hoary hedgehog?
[06:58] <blundar> with Gutsy and 2.6.22... I get ata2: soft resetting port
[06:58] <Neeku> is there anyone who has used Dia?
[06:58] <zubuntu> ok
[06:58] <xavieran> Neeku, Glad I could help! :)
[06:58] <blundar> Neeku, I've used dia a lot
[06:58] <xavieran> Neeku, Try the forums...
[06:58] <litius> totem my.mp3 & [Enter]
[06:58] <litius> totem your.mp3 & [Enter]
[06:58] <xavieran> zubuntu, killall networkmanager...
[06:58] <litius> or just fire up two different shells
[06:58] <compwiz18> zubuntu: also, killall nm-applet
[06:58] <litius> and run totem in both
[06:59] <xavieran> zubuntu, to get it back do killall gnome-panel
[06:59] <demon_spork> canthony, you can probably do it at a command, but it can be done from within vlc, I tried highlighting and playing in vlc once, and I almost froze my computer because I had so many vlc copies open, lol
[06:59] <blundar> ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 Serr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[06:59] <canthony> hha
[06:59] <SHMO> oh i see that hoary hedgehog is unsupported
[06:59] <Neeku> blundar: while drawing a diagram (use-case diagram for example), how can i use the connectors in a way that they don't overlap eachother? (in MS visio it used to reorder them automatically to avoid this)
[06:59] <blundar> anyone know where to go to troubleshoot this ata issue?
[06:59] <SHMO> disregard last question
[06:59] <compwiz18> SHMO: you may wish to upgrade ;)
[06:59] <blundar> Neeku: I don't know
[06:59] <SHMO> but i am having trouble downloading the new ubuntu
[06:59] <adisini> sexcopter & canthony: wupz. i don't know why but now i can copy the file. anyway, thanks for help me :)
[07:00] <compwiz18> SHMO: are you trying to download the CD?
[07:00] <canthony> demon im not really sure how to look at the currect processes, i like bootchart becasue it visually shows you what was running
[07:00] <SHMO> i start downloading it but it stops about 96% way through
[07:00] <xavieran> De do do do! De da da da!
[07:00] <sexcopter> adisini: lol, ok, you're welcome :)
[07:00] <SHMO> yes
[07:00] <SaadS|AboutUs> nope, it either plays one or the other
[07:00] <canthony> you have to modify bootchart to make it run past gdm but its not to hard
[07:00] <compwiz18> SHMO: try using the .torrent to download it
[07:00] <SHMO> compwiz18, that's not the problem
[07:01] <xavieran> zubuntu, Or try /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:01]  * adisini laughs
[07:01] <SHMO> compwiz18 the video card on my dell laptop uses system memory for video ram and i only have ~650mb free
[07:01] <canthony> doesnt gdm starting mean the xsession died
[07:01] <SHMO> the distro is ~700mb
[07:01] <demon_spork> does anyone know how to edit the programs marked for startup in the "Sessions" menu
[07:01] <SHMO> is there a way i can burn a cd directly from the ftp site?
[07:01] <demon_spork> canthony, one possible culprit is akamaru
[07:01] <xavieran> SHMO...you would still have to download it...
[07:01] <demon_spork> because it does seem to coincide with the time it loads
[07:01] <canthony> physics engine for kiba?
[07:01] <demon_spork> yeah
[07:01] <griffi1> hi everybody
[07:02] <xavieran> hi griffi1
[07:02] <canthony> hmm
[07:02] <SHMO> griffil u l33t mofo
[07:02] <compwiz18> SHMO: see if you can lower the amount of memory in the bios?
[07:02] <canthony> did you build that yourself
[07:02] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, I have another idea for you after you "parallel" test.
[07:02] <canthony> i used to use kiba
[07:02] <litius> Go to System > Preferences > Sounds and uncheck the box that says "Enable software sound mixing."
[07:02] <SHMO> the memory setting is via ubuntu but i don't know how to change it
[07:02] <griffi1> When I try to run autgone, I get : Please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf ...
[07:02] <demon_spork> I had it enabled and working fairly glitch free, but then I made a clean gutsy install and one of the times I booted back into feisty, this happened
[07:03] <griffi1> does anyone had this issue ?
[07:03] <compwiz18> SHMO: are you using a livecd or something?
[07:03] <sn00zer> has anyone else had the bcm43xx driver injection capability broken by recent updates?
[07:03] <SHMO> compwiz18, yes
[07:03] <demon_spork> canthony I can't figure out how to stop kiba from loading on startup
[07:03] <demon_spork> login*
[07:03] <canthony> are you using gnome
[07:03] <canthony> right
[07:03] <compwiz18> SHMO: you don't have any spare 1gb flash drives laying around do you?
[07:03] <demon_spork> yeah
[07:03] <canthony> if you didnt hardcode the booting of the program
[07:03] <SHMO> griffil corrupted my windows partition so i have to use this
[07:04] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, did the uncheck and issued "totem 02\ -\ Don\'t\ You.mp3 & vlc 05\ -\ Driving\ Insane.mp3" result: doesnt play in both.
[07:04] <canthony> you should be able to delete the session file
[07:04] <demon_spork> it is in the "Session" menu
[07:04] <demon_spork> where is that at?
[07:04] <xavieran> SHMO what is wrong with the windows one?
[07:04] <canthony> ~/.gnome2/cache
[07:04] <SHMO> compwiz18, perhaps
[07:04] <canthony> i *think*
[07:04] <SHMO> i'll have a look
[07:04] <canthony> or session i mean
[07:04] <canthony> not cache
[07:04] <SHMO> xavieran, griffil installed a rootkit
[07:04]  * demon_spork switches to tty2 to go browsing
[07:04] <canthony> i know its in your home folder becaseu i had this issue once too
[07:05] <cybermad> where is http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/  ?
[07:05] <xavieran> SHMO, Oh...:(
[07:05] <compwiz18> !source-o-matic
[07:05] <ubotu> source-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages.
[07:05] <compwiz18> cybermad: see above :)
[07:05] <SHMO> i seriously don't know why you're stalking me griffi1
[07:05] <cybermad> thanks
[07:05] <xavieran> !FloodBot3
[07:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about floodbot3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:06] <xavieran> Ok...thanks ubotu
[07:07] <zubuntu> xavieran, that worked in the sense that my proc use is back to normal my question now is if this is a known or common issue, or if i should file a bug report
[07:07] <Netkiller> Hello
[07:07] <zubuntu> hello
[07:07] <canthony> aloha
[07:07] <compwiz18> !hi
[07:07] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:07] <demon_spork> !hello | Netkiller
[07:07] <Netkiller> I need a bit of help lowering my resolution for Ubuntu 7.10
[07:07] <ubotu> Netkiller: please see above
[07:07] <demon_spork> gar
[07:07] <canthony> demon did you find it
[07:07] <demon_spork> no
[07:08] <xavieran> zubuntu, Try posting on the forums...they probably know more than I...I do not know if it is a common issue,as I have never sshed into anything...
[07:08] <Netkiller> I have a widescreen lcd which runs at a maximum of 1440*900
[07:08] <demon_spork> ls is a slow way to search
[07:08] <zubuntu> thanks
[07:08] <zubuntu> later
[07:08] <Netkiller> which I told Ubuntu to run at but the screen says the signal input is to large
[07:08] <demon_spork> I am ignorant of the correct usage of find or locate to accomplish my goals
[07:08] <xavieran> ls | grep searchterm isn't...
[07:09] <SHMO> thanks for the help
[07:09] <Netkiller> I am currently looking at the Xorg.conf if I put it up on paste bin would anyone beable to look and tell me what to change?
[07:09] <Netkiller> !pastebin
[07:09] <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)
[07:10] <SaadS|AboutUs> litius, perhaps we can uninstall all sound and config and then reinstall?
[07:10] <canthony> demon ill be right back
[07:10] <canthony> im going to make a session then find the thing
[07:10] <ere4si> sudo updatedb && locate "file" demon_spork
[07:10] <SaadS|AboutUs> but im gonna need some serious help with that
[07:10] <puff> Anybody familiar with the ATI proprietary drivers?
[07:10] <Netkiller> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/
[07:10] <compwiz18> puff: maybe?
[07:11] <litius> SaadS|AboutUs, another thing (before killing and giving birth): check your skype settings (or VLC settings) and see that the sound is set to use ALSA (or "/dev/mixer")
[07:11] <demon_spork> xavierman, I need to find the word session in my home directory, in a hidden file, and I have no idea where, do you know how I could find that?
[07:11] <compwiz18> demon_spork: use grep
[07:11] <Netkiller> anyone?
[07:11] <compwiz18> demon_spork: I think it is grep * session
[07:11] <xavieran> Ah...
[07:11] <xavieran> Yes
[07:12] <compwiz18> oops, backwards: demon_spork grep session *
[07:12] <xavieran> ls *.* | grep searchterm
[07:12] <Netkiller> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/    what do I change to get to resolution 1280*768?
[07:12] <compwiz18> xavieran: but then you still don't know what file the word is in, do you :P?
[07:12] <xavieran> No...
[07:12] <xavieran> Hmm...
[07:12] <xavieran> find can do this...
[07:13] <demon_spork> compwiz18, how do I make grep recursive to search inside directories as well?
[07:13] <xavieran> I red it in my Red Hat Linux Unleashed a while back...but that book is 300km away...:(
[07:13] <compwiz18> demon_spork: grep -R session * I think
[07:13] <xavieran> *read
[07:13] <Netkiller> xavieran
[07:13] <sn00zer> Netkiller, i think you need to change the modes in the screen section but i'm not positive that will do it
[07:13] <xavieran> man grep
[07:13] <xavieran> Yes Neeku
[07:13] <xavieran> Yes Netkiller
[07:14] <Netkiller> sn00zer: how do I do that?
[07:14] <Netkiller> xavieran: do you know how to change screen resolution in the xorg.conf file?
[07:14] <sn00zer> Netkiller, edit the xorg.conf file with your favorite text editor
[07:14] <Netkiller> sn00zer I am lol. I just don't know what to change
[07:14] <xavieran> Netkiller, First back the file up...
[07:15] <Netkiller> and the refresh rate is at 60 which is what my screen uses.
[07:15] <Netkiller> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55687/
[07:15] <sn00zer> Netkiller, scroll down to the section "screen"
[07:15] <xavieran> Netkiller, And the built in resolution changing tool doesn't work?
[07:15] <Netkiller> ok
[07:16] <SHMO> i'm looking for my usb card reader
[07:16] <Netkiller> how do I use that?
[07:16] <SHMO> how do i find it in hoary hedgehog (5.04)?
[07:16] <demon_spork> SHMO, does it have a card in it?
[07:16] <SHMO> yes
[07:16] <demon_spork> usually it should automount
[07:16] <demon_spork> when you plug it in
[07:16] <canthony> well
[07:16] <canthony> i am using hardy
[07:16] <xavieran> Netkiller, System>Preferences>Screen Resolution
[07:16] <SHMO> well the light on the card reader is on
[07:16] <SHMO> so it knows it's there
[07:16] <canthony> but mine was in the .gnome2 folder
[07:17] <Netkiller> xavieran: How can I do that when I can't see anything?
[07:17] <SHMO> where abouts would it show up? on the desktop?
[07:17] <patogen> Is there some easy way to make the cursor "disappear" when I haven't used it for a while and that it reapperas when I move then mouse?
[07:17] <canthony> i thought it had a dedicated folder
[07:17] <xavieran> Netkiller, Oh...
[07:17] <hades> Hello All, I have tried to add dual monitors to my laptop, and now it wont boot up.. keeps hanging at running local boot scripts
[07:17] <hades> any idea how to fix this?
[07:17] <puff> compwiz18: I'm working on uninstalling the ATI drivers and going back to the ubuntu restricted ATI drivers
[07:17] <compwiz18> puff: good luck
[07:17] <puff> compwiz18: Thanks :-)
[07:17] <compwiz18> puff: sorry, I've tried to do that and failed.. :(
[07:18] <puff> compwiz18: Really?  What'd you end up doing?
[07:18] <canthony> hades did ya back up your xorg
[07:18] <compwiz18> puff: going back to the latest drivers - they're the only ones I could get to work
[07:18] <Hadeshorn> canthony: nope.. I know i should have done
[07:18] <sn00zer> Netkiller, under the subsection "display" look for the Modes line, take out the 1440x900 and 1280x800 assuming you aren't going to try to get that high of a resolution
[07:18] <xavieran> Netkiller, Has the screen worked before?
[07:18] <Hadeshorn> canthony: I can get into recovery mode and dont know how to unstuff this
[07:18] <puff> compwiz18: Latest as in the latest in ubuntu's apt servers or the latest from ati's site?
[07:18] <canthony> i would re run the dpkg-reconfigure on xorg
[07:18] <canthony> then
[07:19] <canthony> use xrandr to add dual monitor if you can
[07:19] <compwiz18> puff: latest as in from ati's site
[07:19] <compwiz18> puff: the ubuntu ones didn't want to play
[07:19] <puff> compwiz18: Ah, I'm trying the drivers from ATI's site right now, but the performance sucks and is glitchy to boot.
[07:19] <SlimG> Is there a way of telling if a package is a metapackage?
[07:19] <Hadeshorn> canthony how do i dpkg-reconfigure for xorg?
[07:19] <compwiz18> puff: tell me about it. what card do you hae?
[07:19] <puff> compwiz18: I'm on a thinkpad t43p with ATI firegl v3200.
[07:19] <canthony> if you can get to a terminal
[07:20] <canthony> vim your current xorg.conf
[07:20] <canthony> or gedit
[07:20] <griffi1> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:20] <canthony> or whatever text editor you use
[07:20] <xavieran> or nano
[07:20] <canthony> ok there ya go
[07:20] <SHMO> anyone?
[07:20] <clearzen> Okay, I had compiz working fine on this machine until I installed updates and now the system refuses to load the glx module. I looked through Xorg.0.log and came up with this error dlopen: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000042g can anyone help me?
[07:20] <canthony> the command is in your xorg.conf in the top credits in case you ever need it again
[07:20] <demon_spork> joe is the way to go
[07:20] <compwiz18> puff: I've got a compaq v2000 with a 200m
[07:20] <compwiz18> puff: although I have to say, the drivers work much better on faster computers, I find
[07:21] <demon_spork> as does everything else
[07:21] <SHMO> i'm looking in /dev
[07:21] <SHMO> can't find anything there
[07:21] <puff> compwiz18: The ubuntu gutsy restricve worked great, but suspend didn't work.  Somebody suggested trying the ATI from-the-ati-site drivers but those are turning to be worse... unless I'm missing some kind of config change or something.
[07:21] <patogen> Is there some easy way to make the cursor "disappear" when I haven't used it for a while and that it reapperas when I move then mouse?
[07:21] <Hadeshorn> ok
[07:21] <Hadeshorn> trying
[07:21] <canthony> i have compiz running 1280x1024 on a 32mb nvidia desktop... an old comp i bought from the college for $100
[07:21] <Hadeshorn> where is the location of the boot log?
[07:21] <SlimG> Is there a way of telling if a package is a metapackage? (is language-pack-no a metapackage?)
[07:22] <canthony> i had to edit the compiz wrapper script to allow the low memory
[07:22] <SHMO> patogen, maybe you'll have to get used to moving the mouse to the right side of the screen to make it disappear
[07:22] <clearzen> What would stop the glx module from loading?
[07:22] <demon_spork> lol
[07:22] <demon_spork> nice canthony
[07:22] <compwiz18> puff: that's about what I found -- I never knew why the latest were so much slower
[07:22] <puff> compwiz18: I'm about ready to give up on them (unless you have suggestions).  I'm trying to figure out just how to revert... thinking maybe "apt-get remove" on each of the custom ATI driver packages.
[07:22] <puff> compwiz18: As a start.
[07:22] <bullgard4> SlimG: Look its name up in Synaptic. Then read its descriptive text. This will often tell if it is a meta package.
[07:22] <canthony> it runs really well, except when to many windows are open then i get black boxes till i close some ;)
[07:23] <compwiz18> puff: that's what I'd suggest... again, good luck :)
[07:23] <patogen> SHMO: Well maybe, but if I can get it work like I wish I would rather try that :)
[07:23] <demon_spork> I am running c-f at 1680x1050 on a geforce 8800GTS 320MB 0_o
[07:23] <canthony> nice
[07:23] <demon_spork> well, when I am booted into a GUI
[07:23] <SHMO> patogen, maybe it doesn't exist, and you'll have to write a python script to do it
[07:23] <canthony> i was so happy not to long ago i finally got my tvout and vga out working on my t43 laptop
[07:24] <canthony> i didnt know anything about xrandr until then
[07:24] <demon_spork> right now I am stuck at command line until my grep search of the home directory is complete
[07:24] <canthony> it was eeeeasy after that
[07:24] <z0mbie> hi
[07:24] <xavieran> patogen, Try posting to the forums too...more people will see your question there...
[07:24] <patogen> SHMO: Maybe then I won't bother :) It's not *that* important, but I find an easy solution I'll do it :)
[07:24] <canthony> Hadeshorn hows it goin
[07:24] <canthony> or did your x puke
[07:25] <patogen> xavieran: Yeah I guess I can try that :)
[07:25] <SHMO> patogen, it would still be worthwhile posting in a forum so other people will find the same solution useful
[07:25] <bodean> server irc.tribalwar.com
[07:25] <sui> sup
[07:26] <SHMO> where do i find my memory card? in /dev?
[07:26] <xavieran> SHMO ya
[07:26] <canthony> there has to be a way to stop the flickering between usplash and gdm
[07:26] <SHMO> xavieran, where abouts
[07:26] <j_humphrey> does anyone know where xmms keeps its playlist file?
[07:26] <sui> what kiinda memory card?
[07:26] <SHMO> sd
[07:26] <xavieran> ls /dev and post the output to pastebin
[07:26] <demon_spork> canthony, what if you skip the usplash?
[07:27] <sui> woulden't it be in /media
[07:27] <clearzen> how do I report a bug?
[07:27] <SHMO> media is empty
[07:27] <canthony> hmm i guess i havent done that
[07:27] <demon_spork> lol
[07:27] <canthony> really... i have been looking for a good usplash replacemtn
[07:27] <clearzen> !bug report
[07:27] <xavieran> Bye every one!
[07:27] <canthony> cant get splashy going and i keep reading its not developed anymore
[07:27] <canthony> peace out man
[07:28] <demon_spork> like a random episode of the Simpsons?
[07:28] <tsurko> hello
[07:28] <demon_spork> !hi | tsurko
[07:28] <ubotu> tsurko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:28] <canthony> that, plus the white tearing of gdm, plus the dying desktop when compiz starts are the last visuall quirks i have! AHAH
[07:28] <speedhunt3r> is there a way to have certain screenlets load at startup? I always have to go to /usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py to run the application.
[07:28] <sui> hey SHMO
[07:29] <SHMO> yes
[07:29] <tsurko> is the 64bit version of ubuntu aimed to amd64 users only? I mean should I install 64bit version on dual core intel CPU?
[07:29] <j_humphrey> does anyone know where xmms keeps its playlist file?
[07:29] <sui> it should be in /dev listed as one of ur harddirves
[07:29] <speedhunt3r> tsurko, yeah it works for all 64bit pcs intel or amd
[07:29] <sui> like hda1
[07:29] <canthony> j_humphrey can you do a search on the name
[07:29] <SHMO> ok i'll have a look sui
[07:29] <sui> etc..
[07:29] <tsurko> speedhunt3r, thank you
[07:29] <sui> probably the last one
[07:29] <demon_spork> canthony, I won, with the command <grep -r kiba-dock .*> lol
[07:30] <SHMO> says there
[07:30] <j_humphrey> canthony, i dont what its even called
[07:30] <SHMO> says there'll inaccessable
[07:30] <Slart> tsurko: yes.. it's both intel and amd.. I think they kept the amd-name as credit to amd for being first with an 64bit-processor that ran normal code or something
[07:30] <tsurko> super:)\
[07:30] <sui> r you browseing them with in the nautilus window?
[07:30] <canthony> nice
[07:30] <demon_spork> .config/autostart/kiba-dock.desktop
[07:31] <canthony> does that search the file themselves?
[07:31] <demon_spork> yeah
[07:31] <canthony> ahh nevermind
[07:31] <canthony> i didnt know you could do that
[07:31] <demon_spork> it only took 30 sec
[07:32] <canthony> i always...   cat WHATEVER > grep ...
[07:32] <sui> SHMO if you are useing nautilus... try useing the command "gksu nautilus" in the terminal
[07:32] <demon_spork> I bet if we looked at the source code for locate and find we would see a lot of cat a grep
[07:32] <demon_spork> lol
[07:32] <demon_spork> or their equivalent
[07:32] <Hadeshorn> ok, my computer is now getting to the Gnome login screen, but the screen is black.. any ideas?
[07:33] <demon_spork> a friend of mine decided he wanted to be able to cat and grep on his window server, so he compiled grep for windows
[07:33] <canthony> haha nice
[07:33] <canthony> ill never go back to winblows
[07:33] <canthony> she is a dirty whore
[07:33] <canthony> like cartmans mom

[07:34]  * Hadeshorn agrees with Canthony
[07:34] <Slart> canthony: no need for name calling.. it's just an operating system..
[07:34] <canthony> your right
[07:34] <sui> dude windows is awsome
[07:34] <Hadeshorn> So yes, i have a black gnome login screen... any ideas?
[07:34] <canthony> not professional ;O
[07:34]  * demon_spork is blinded by sui's comment
[07:34] <SHMO> sui do you know the default root password on a live cd?

[07:34] <bossjock77> I guess I shouldn't introduce myself by saying I like Vista, huh?
[07:34] <clearzen> sui: That is blatant flamebait
[07:35] <demon_spork> Hadeshorn, try hitting alt+ctrl+backspace once, see what happens
[07:35] <canthony> can you see anything Hadeshorn
[07:35] <sui> hade tpick the other ubuntu load thing you know (safe mode)
[07:35] <sui> lol
[07:35] <Slart> SHMO: there isn't a root password by default
[07:35] <Slart> !sudo | SHMO
[07:35] <ubotu> SHMO: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[07:35] <Hadeshorn> canthony, nothing
[07:35] <Slart> !root | SHMO
[07:35] <ubotu> SHMO: 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
[07:35] <canthony> how do you know its gdm
[07:35] <canthony> the sound
[07:35] <sui> whats wrong with windows clearzen?
[07:35] <Hadeshorn> because it makes the sound
[07:35] <xmanxxxx> hi
[07:35] <speedhunt3r> is there a way to have certain screenlets load at startup? I always have to go to /usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py to run the application.
[07:35] <Hadeshorn> i did ctrl, alt, backspace and just makes the login sound again
[07:35] <xmanxxxx> i i try to install vmware
[07:35] <canthony> can you punch in your name and pass
[07:36] <SHMO> it still doesn't like '' as pasword
[07:36] <canthony> just for grins
[07:36] <Hadeshorn> i ran the dkpg-configure thing.. and changed the displays and stuff
[07:36] <Slart> speedhunt3r: isn't there a checkbox in the manager for auto-startup ? I have that
[07:36] <xmanxxxx> i install the patch, but it dont accept any serial
[07:36] <xmanxxxx> somebody know whats happening
[07:36] <xmanxxxx> ?
[07:36] <canthony> how can i change my name on here via command
[07:36] <Slart> SHMO: I didn't say the password was "".. there isn't one
[07:36] <Slart> canthony: /nick yournewawsomenickname
[07:36] <canthony> ha nice thanx
[07:37] <SHMO> but anyway, i digress, here
[07:37] <SHMO> http://pastebin.ca/900883
[07:37] <dondong> oops,i ,my emerald still has no border
[07:37] <Slart> SHMO: what are you trying to do?
[07:37] <sn00zer> xmanxxxx, have you looked into virtualbox? alot of people claim its faster
[07:37] <speedhunt3r> Slart, i try it it says failed to create autostart folder, i try to create it manually it says it already exists...
[07:37] <SHMO> Slart, trying to access memory card in usb card reader
[07:37] <xmanxxxx> i want vmware, because i know it
[07:37] <xmanxxxx> thganks

[07:37] <sweetsinse> hey can ya gotta be flexible
[07:38] <xmanxxxx> thanks, but i need be avaliable to put the serial
[07:38] <Slart> SHMO: where is your card mounted? /media/disk? /media/somethingelse?
[07:38] <dondong> !emerald
[07:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:38] <SHMO>  /media/ is empty
[07:38] <norty> I have a question, i have a path to a file, ./test/test.txt, how do i just get the filename "test.txt" ? using the terminal/csh ?
[07:38] <Slart> SHMO: what are you running? ubuntu?
[07:38] <demon_spork> dondong, Fusiobot knows about emerald, try #compiz-fusion
[07:39] <Goundy> Salut
[07:39] <Goundy> Hello* sorry
[07:39] <Goundy> I got an old ubuntu live-CD but there's no install icone on the desktop.
[07:39] <Slart> norty: grep is one way... give me a minute and I'll come up with something
[07:39] <Goundy> How to get it ?
[07:39] <SHMO> 5.04 (hoary hedgehog) i'm trying to burn the latest distro to cd but i can't hold it in the live cd's memory
[07:39] <dondong> demon_spork: Dank!
[07:39] <norty> thanks
[07:39] <Hadeshorn> where is the boot log file?
[07:39] <xmanxxxx> is possible install vmware in ubuntu or isnt
[07:39] <Hadeshorn> i can try reading that and see why we are going wrong
[07:39] <sui> SHMO are you sure the drivers for the card reader are installed?
[07:39] <Slart> SHMO: ouch.. that's really old.. you can't run the regular live cd? how much memory do you have?
[07:40] <SHMO> no sui
[07:40] <sui> u can install vmware in ubuntu its easy
[07:40] <Goundy> I got an old ubuntu live-CD but there's no install icone on the desktop.
[07:40] <Goundy> How to get it ?
[07:40] <Goundy> got the 5.10
[07:40] <SHMO> i've got 1gb memory but it's a dell laptop so the intel card uses system memory for video memory
[07:40] <xmanxxxx> sui: i do, but it dont accept the serials
[07:40] <SHMO> i get to 86% downloading the latest distro
[07:40] <xmanxxxx> is amazing
[07:40] <SHMO> is there a way i can burn the iso directly from the ftp?
[07:41] <xmanxxxx> sui: u know why?
[07:41] <Slart> SHMO: try saving the iso somewhere else.. not on the desktop or home
[07:41] <sui> why?
[07:41] <SHMO> Slart, that's why i'm trying to access my memory card
[07:41] <xmanxxxx> sui: i run the patch and it dont accept the serial
[07:41] <speedhunt3r> Slart, so any idea what can i do? if i download screenlets and build it again will it do any good? cuase i tried make install and make menu but it still doesn't let me run screenlets automatically at startup
[07:42] <sui> xmanxxx what patch r u talking about the vmware patch?
[07:42] <demon_spork> gar, disabling kiba-dock didn't stop the crash
[07:42] <Hadeshorn> boot log, anyone? where is?
[07:42] <sweetsinse> dirty
[07:42] <speedhunt3r> SHMO, why don't you just use the alternate CD installation?
[07:42] <xmanxxxx> sui: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-1.0.4-on-ubuntu-7.10
[07:42] <sweetsinse> Hadeshorn
[07:42] <sweetsinse> there is an xsession error file in your home folder
[07:42] <sweetsinse> might be hidden
[07:43] <SHMO> speedhunt3r, because i have a malformed windows partition that i don't want to touch
[07:43] <SHMO> until i get more help
[07:43] <SHMO> in the mean time the latest version of ubuntu will do fine
[07:43] <SHMO> if i can get it burnt
[07:43] <sweetsinse> i am running that now
[07:43] <sweetsinse> there is scroll lag and compiz lag with firefox
[07:43] <Neural_Overload> I'm having problems with my WUSB54GC and it disconnecting randomly. The only thing that helps is rebooting without the WiFi dongle attached.
[07:43] <sweetsinse> kindof annoying
[07:43] <kahrytan> SHMO-> what you do to windows?
[07:44] <SHMO> kahrytan, an a.i. bot installed a rootkit
[07:44] <hotmonkeyluv> Is there a utility or a program that can reduce disk access in ubuntu? I think linux uses my hard disk more than windows and therefore decreased battery life. is there such a program?
[07:44] <kahrytan> SHMO-> Oh crap ... Linux has those two.
[07:44] <kahrytan> *too
[07:44] <sui> xmanxxxx i don't know about that patch because i installed VMware less then two weeks ago and i never instaled a patch like that
[07:45] <sui> on 7.10
[07:45] <sweetsinse> rootkit?
[07:45] <xmanxxxx> i try but it send errrors
[07:45] <simi> hi, the screen resolution is not saved, it always defaults to  maximum , how can i make it saved?
[07:45] <Slart> norty: grep -o '[^/]*$' should work
[07:45] <SHMO> sweetsinse, the rootkit was made by an a.i. bot that someone taught how to program via hacker forums
[07:46] <SHMO> it's actually, according to the bot, an existing rootkit that has been modified
[07:46] <norty> Slart, do i just use that or do i need to put in the filename im searching for?
[07:46] <sweetsinse> what does it do... it was installed by a bot/
[07:46] <Slart> SHMO: do you have a fast internet connection?
[07:46] <sweetsinse> ?
[07:46] <sui> xmanxxxx http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html
[07:46] <SHMO> Slart, pretty fast
[07:46] <sui> xmanxxxx this tut doesn't mention patching at all
[07:46] <patogen> gmi_vorbis.c:37:26: error: vorbis/codec.h: No such file or directory
[07:47] <xmanxxxx> sui: pssss, i hate this
[07:47] <patogen> what does this mean? I know it has to do with vorbis
[07:47] <patogen> but what do I need to install to get it to compile?
[07:47] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, I think theres a command which optimizes hard disk access on laptops. I think this should help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[07:47] <Slart> norty: you can use that like this ..  ls | grep -o '[^/]*$
[07:47] <sn00zer> xmanxxxx, this one does but its for fiesty http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[07:47] <hotmonkeyluv> Filled-Void: thanks!!!
[07:47] <sui> xmanxxx are use useing the defalts on the vmware install or are you sintalling to a diffrent location?
[07:47] <Slart> SHMO: because I think there is a netinstall cd you can use that is much smaller than the regular cd
[07:48] <SHMO> Slart, can i use the netinstall cd to install a livecd?
[07:48] <xmanxxxx> sui: defaults, isnt the first time that i install vmware
[07:48] <Slart> SHMO: but you'll have to install much of the stuff from internet instead of from your local cd.. so it might take a bit longer
[07:48] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, Be sure to READ THE WHOLE THING ALSO
[07:48] <norty> Slart, thanks!
[07:48] <Filled-Void> sry for caps
[07:48] <xmanxxxx> but is the first time in ubuntu server 7.10
[07:48] <Slart> SHMO: nah.. but you can use it to install ubuntu on your computer
[07:48] <xmanxxxx> because i use opensuse, but now i migratye all to ubuntu
[07:48] <Slart> SHMO: I kind of assumed that's what you wanted to do, right?
[07:49] <hotmonkeyluv> Filled-Void: I always read and make backups (I didn't a while ago, then xorg.conf turned to mush, now I backup everything)
[07:49] <SHMO> Slart, unless i can install to a usb hdd, it's ok, but i don't want to touch the main partition
[07:49] <erawfish> SHMO: makes no sense to use a netinstall for a liveC
[07:49] <GSF1200S> hey, quick question.. whats the latest gutsy kernel image?
[07:49] <sui> xmanxxx im no prob at installing vmware but i used that tutorial i showed you and i only have problems when i tried to change the default file loactions
[07:49] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, :) Good make sure theres no consequences sicne I avent personally done it on my laptop yet
[07:50] <Slart> SHMO: ah.. so what's the goal here? you need a live cd to do what?
[07:50] <erawfish> GSF1200S: packages.ubunut.org will tell you
[07:50] <sui> xmanxxx: im no pro*
[07:50] <SHMO> surf the net, etc.
[07:50] <GSF1200S> erawfish.. thanks
[07:50] <xmanxxxx> sui: ???
[07:50] <hotmonkeyluv> Filled-Void: I'll be your tester!
[07:50] <simi>     hi, each user set his own resolution, where is this saved?
[07:50] <Slart> SHMO: can't you do that from your windows install?
[07:50] <puff> with a .deb file, is there a way to list what the package name will be after you install it?  I don't see anything in the man file.
[07:50] <Filled-Void> hotmonkeyluv, :)
[07:51] <xmanxxxx> sui: in no pro, ???
[07:51] <SHMO> Slart, as i said before, my windows partition is damaged
[07:51] <GSF1200S> hmm, that site isnt loading up
[07:51] <sui> xmanxxxx: im not a pro at installing vmware but when i used that tutorial i didn't have a problem at all
[07:51] <Slart> SHMO: ah.. didn't read that part...
[07:51] <sui> BY THE WAY vmware works way better with windows!!
[07:51] <xmanxxxx> grrr
[07:52] <sui> lol
[07:52] <xmanxxxx> sui: is rare man, i'm having trubbles here, trust me
[07:52] <SHMO> so, Slart, you see i'm in quite the conundrum
[07:52] <astyler> hey, I'm new and trying to install ubuntu off of the alternate cd
[07:53] <Slart> SHMO: and the problem with the cd you've got is that you don't have enough memory to burn a newer cd, right?
[07:53] <simi> my resolution is saved like a gnome setting? i need to see where it is saved?
[07:53] <SHMO> Slart, yes

[07:55] <sui> oh because thats what the tut u posted tells to do
[07:55] <xmanxxxx> and put on server using winspc
[07:55] <Slart> SHMO: might be any of the sd* things
[07:55] <sui> but apt-get dosen't seem to work for vmware
[07:55] <speedhunt3r> What exactly happens when I hit "Remember currently running applications" under sessions>session options ?
[07:55] <SHMO> Slart,  i'll have a look
[07:55] <kahrytan> simi->  Easy way to restart X is Ctrl-ALT-Delete (key)
[07:55] <GSF1200S> anyone know what the latest kernel image is?
[07:55] <kahrytan> simi->  Easy way to restart X is Ctrl-ALT-Backpsace  (key) OOPS
[07:55] <xmanxxxx> sui: i hate when yhis happen
[07:55] <threefcata> why is my XP installation unable to write to MBR?
[07:55] <threefcata> i'm install xp after ubuntu
[07:55] <Slart> GSF1200S: latest in ubuntu? 2.6.22.14 I think
[07:56] <sui> xmanxxx yeah idk what to tell you really execpt how i installed it with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html
[07:56] <Slart> threefcata: ask the microsoft people.. they are the ones that created it
[07:56] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, your xp installation will overwrite your MBR (welcome to windows) lol
[07:56] <SHMO> Slart, sd* are all inaccessable
[07:56] <GSF1200S> slart.. thanks
[07:56] <kahrytan> speedhunt3r->  Or be like me and use two different hdds for linux and xp.
[07:56] <Slart> SHMO: and sda1 is your regular hard drive?
[07:56] <threefcata> speedhunt3r, yes but now it can't
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> threefcata: first install xp, after ubuntu
[07:57] <sui> xmanxxxx: make sure you have xinetd and build-essential linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
[07:57] <SHMO> Slart, it's a livecd
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> yes sr
[07:57] <threefcata> my other partitions are ext3
[07:57] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, after installation, you can boot up using ur livecd, go to terminal and you can restore grub
[07:57] <xmanxxxx> sui: it will be the first that i do when finish to install ubuntu server
[07:57] <Slart> SHMO: yes.. but the live cd is scd0 or somethinh like that.. sda1 is a hard drive
[07:57] <threefcata> speedhunt3r, now the problem is i can't install XP bucause the installation can't write to MBR
[07:58] <SHMO> well i haven't been able to access any of the hd* and i'm not surprised as the windows partition is damaged
[07:58] <kahrytan> threefcata->  you need to chroot into hdd before grub restore.
[07:58] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, use "sudo grub > find /boot/grub/stage1 > root (hdx, x) > setup (hdx) > quit " where x,x, is the result of the find command.
[07:58] <xmanxxxx> threefcata: these hdd is bad
[07:58] <kahrytan> !grub | threefcata
[07:58] <ubotu> threefcata: 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
[07:58] <Frogzoo> threefcata: ask in #windows
[07:59] <abuyazan> hello
[07:59] <kahrytan> threefcata->  you can use fdisk to delete mbr
[07:59] <sui> threefcata: supergrub is the best tool/bootdisk to fix all boot issues http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[07:59] <abuyazan> i am searching about a good solution for purchasing management , does any one have idea about this
[07:59] <threefcata> kahrytan, fdisk under linux?
[08:00] <kahrytan> threefcata->  dos.
[08:00] <speedhunt3r> threefcata, or you could use the grub rescue cd, burn the iso and boot from that..it'll fix all ur mbr problems....
[08:00] <xmanxxxx> sui: is the same version as in ur tutorial
[08:00] <Hadeshorn> I am in the terminal, how can i list what screens ubuntu thinks are attached to the comuter
[08:00] <SecretLine> fdisk can delete all mbr ?
[08:00] <Hadeshorn> because I believe the black screen at the login is because its putting the display out to an external monitor that isnt there
[08:00] <kahrytan> threefcata->  There is only one. hence MASTER
[08:00] <SHMO> Slart, did you get my last message?
[08:01] <sui> xmanxxxx: yeah
[08:01] <SaadS|AboutUs_> litius left?
[08:01] <SaadS|AboutUs_> argh
[08:01] <Slart> SHMO: yes.. still thinking here
[08:01] <han`> i am having an issue in compiz where ctrl-alt-right (or ctrl-alt-left for that matter) skips a desktop and instead moves two to the right
[08:01] <han`> if that makes sense
[08:01] <xmanxxxx> sui: let me try
[08:01] <kahrytan> threefcata->  fdisk /mbr will delete and replace with ms original
[08:01] <han`> anyone ever seen or heard of that?
[08:02] <xmanxxxx> fdisk -mbr
[08:02] <d7> how can I change the defualt program for different file extensions?
[08:02] <sui> xmanxxxx: VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz
[08:02] <kahrytan> xmanxxxx->  thats for linux?
[08:02] <xmanxxxx> sui: yes i download it minutes ago
[08:02] <sui> sweet
[08:02] <han`> oh i just figured it out myself...
[08:02] <speedhunt3r> d7, system>preferces>perferred applications
[08:03] <sui> this channel has 10 times as many as ##windows
[08:03] <d7> speedhunt3r, that seems very limited
[08:03] <kahrytan> d7->  another way is right click the on the file and click properties
[08:03] <SHMO> i'm stumped, bored, and in need of a cigarette
[08:03] <kahrytan> d7->  and open file with will change the default program
[08:03] <SHMO> brb
[08:03] <Hadeshorn> whoa
[08:03] <threefcata> i tried the diskpart that comes with XP disk but it seems it can't handle my disk..
[08:03] <d7> kahrytan, thank you
[08:04] <Hadeshorn> i removed xrandr and its like untinstalling soo much stuff
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> why he try to install  2 os if he cant format mbr
[08:04] <sui> who knows but supergrub fixes everything
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> first u install any windows os, because by default any windows take all the mbr
[08:04] <xmanxxxx> yes i dontknow supergrup, i use lilo
[08:04] <kahrytan> xmanxxxx->  Windows install cant delete mbr
[08:05] <bazhang> weird internet situation--not mine, a friend's--can connect to google on a fresh gutsy install and gmail but nowhere else--would this be a ipv6 or a dns problem?
[08:05] <xmanxxxx> i create my oun disk
[08:05] <sui> u can install windows second if you use supergub to get ubuntu back on the boot screen
[08:05] <speedhunt3r> windows will not take over or delete mbr
[08:05] <xmanxxxx> kahrytan: u read well, use the recovery option fron cd
[08:05] <speedhunt3r> it just overwrites the data...MBR is the first few bytes of ur hardisk (512 bytes) i think, that tells the BIOS where to look on the harddisk to load the OS... step 2 of booting up the PC.
[08:06] <d7> man, I don't understand how ubuntu can be so good, and windows be so lame
[08:06] <sui> imo i still think windows is better simply because so many apps are still developed for it
[08:06] <sweetsinse> ......
[08:06] <sui> but ubuntu runs way better and is a lot cooler
[08:07] <kahrytan> sui-> dude... thats commercial apps. There is thousands of oss apps
[08:07] <sweetsinse> i have yet to find an app for windows that doesnt hav a better one in linux
[08:07] <speedhunt3r> along with so many apps there are so many viruses that window's is vurnable to
[08:07] <sui> but no one makes great apps for ubuntu
[08:07] <sweetsinse> what kind of app are you lookng for
[08:07] <badkitty> sui: Give an example
[08:07] <kahrytan> !best | sui
[08:07] <ubotu> sui: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[08:07] <sweetsinse> i have a whole suite of nice ones
[08:07]  * Slart misses the games...=/
[08:07] <sui> vmware works better on windows
[08:07] <sui> lol
[08:07] <sweetsinse> well yes
[08:08] <kahrytan> Slart->  and thats why they got consoles
[08:08] <sweetsinse> there is always the games
[08:08] <badkitty> sui: Try virtualbox
[08:08] <badkitty> The only better support I see is for games
[08:08] <WGGMk> sui: I think VMWare works fine on Linux
[08:08] <sui> games
[08:08] <sui> lol
[08:08] <speedhunt3r> virtualbox is so easy to use, i don't know about vmware, never used it.
[08:08] <oxeimon> hi, I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything...
[08:08] <sweetsinse> mabe is devs would *maybe* consider there is something other than directx
[08:08] <Slart> kahrytan: bah.. consoles.. then I'd have to buy my own tv.. hmm.. on the other hand.. that's not a bad idea =)
[08:08] <kahrytan> Slart->  not really
[08:08] <WGGMk> I have some specific security questions about deploying a server. Was wondering if anyone could help me answer them for me
[08:09] <kahrytan> Slart-> Just get tv tuner card
[08:09] <sui> but you see if ubuntu becomes main steam then it will become just like windows
[08:09] <badkitty> sui: Except the whole fact that it is NOT PROPRIETARY
[08:09] <Slart> kahrytan: nah.. that's not my problem.. the wife uses the tv.. =)
[08:09] <kahrytan> Slart->  though. most dont have a/v input you naturally have to use coxial adapter or get good lcd with a/v inputs
[08:09] <sweetsinse> my modded xbox does everything anyway
[08:10] <badkitty> Slart: I feel your pain, the gf owns the tv :-(
[08:10] <sui> soon ubuntu will be full of auto loginscripts and auto sudio password scripts viruses will have no problem at all
[08:10] <SHMO> any ideas, Slart?
[08:10] <WGGMk> yea if ubuntu becomes more dominate in the Desktop world, it wont have as many faults as windows in many different area's of what makes a good OS. IMHO
[08:10] <sweetsinse> plus i have a xvga2, so i can play high res xbox on a monitor :)
[08:10] <Slart> SHMO: I'm not sure here.. but have you tried mounting sda1?
[08:10] <oxeimon> I tried the instructions in "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager" to fix my network manager causing my computer to not suspend, but now my network manager won't even start up on restart. I even removed all the files I created, and it still won't start. Can someone Please help me get my networkmanager to start? Even typing "nm-applet&" in the terminal doesn't do anything...
[08:10] <muep> sui: people wouldn't use it if it stops working well
[08:10] <kahrytan> badkitty and Slart -> it's a bad sign when the man of the house gives up the tv...
[08:10] <dondong> does anyone konw how to install sopcast?
[08:10] <muep> sui: there are dozens of other distros
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, i'm a newb
[08:11] <muep> badkitty: ubuntu ships proprietary code already
[08:11] <oxeimon> "ps aux" gives: "nm-applet --sm-disable", AND "nm-applet"...what does that mean?
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, how do i mount sda1?
[08:11] <sweetsinse> bottom line...windows has no concept of users at the filesystem level...wide open legs
[08:11] <badkitty> kahrytan: It's really more of a percieved giving up.. She thinks she is in control.. If I really wanted to use it, she'd be out
[08:11] <sui> muep: the only reason any of that would happen is if people use it a lot
[08:11] <kahrytan> sweetsinse->  any HD monitor has the right ports for console
[08:11] <dondong> !sopcast
[08:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sopcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:11] <Slart> SHMO: I'm assuming the card is formatted as.. FAT32 or something..
[08:11] <sweetsinse> yeah but this is only a vga monitor
[08:11] <sweetsinse> like a crt
[08:11] <kahrytan> badkitty-> but she might kick you onto the couch then
[08:11] <sweetsinse> but it looks fantastic
[08:11] <SHMO> Slart, probably
[08:11] <badkitty> kahrytan: Actually she prefers the couch ;-)
[08:11] <SHMO> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount /dev/sda1
[08:11] <SHMO> mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:12] <WGGMk> sui: i think your missing a key factor about Linux vs. Windows
[08:12] <Hadeshorn> can you have network access in recovery mode?
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> sui: the same trubble
[08:12] <muep> sui: users don't directly affect ubuntu
[08:12] <Slart> SHMO: try this  "sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> it dont accept the serial
[08:12] <WGGMk> sui: its not that Windows is used by more people everywhere, its the fact that the OS isnt as hardened as a linux system.
[08:12] <WGGMk> *using
[08:12] <Hadeshorn> can you have network access in recovery mode?
[08:12] <xmanxxxx> sui: why, is ubuntu server 7.1 fault
[08:12] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: if you're talking to me, I'm testing it now
[08:12] <muep> sui: they may request things, but doing anything too idiotic would cause the people who contribute to the distro to disappear
[08:13] <sweetsinse> windows 'pretends' to lock you out of stuff when in reality every user is an admin
[08:13] <Hadeshorn> oxeimon, let me know how it goes
[08:13] <sui> WGGMk: a windows system can be made as secure or more secure then a ubuntu system
[08:13] <SHMO> Slart, SUCCESS!
[08:13] <SHMO> i'll take it from here
[08:13] <sweetsinse> what does this word 'secure' mean....
[08:13] <SHMO> tyvm
[08:13] <sweetsinse> if its made by humans it has a crack
[08:13] <Slart> SHMO: sweet.. you're welcome, good luck
[08:13] <WGGMk> sui: I fail to see that? passing windows "Genuine Advantage Test" is the matter of changing a .dll value from 1 - 0 in the system32 folder
[08:13] <sui> WGGMk: but generaly speaking windows is less secure because of the many ease of use fetures
[08:14] <xmanxxxx> sui: why it doesnt work
[08:14] <xmanxxxx> ?
[08:14] <norty> I have another question, I have a path to a file, /test/test.txt and i just want this /test/test  I dont want the extension, i tried figuring this out with grep but can't get it, any help?
[08:14] <WGGMk> sui: ease of use features do not make a system unsecure, the way they were developed does
[08:14] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: it seems like I can. I can do a "sudo aptitude search" successfully
[08:14] <muep> sui: it's not the features, but they have made compromises in security to ease the use
[08:14] <muep> sui: it's just the default settings
[08:14] <sweetsinse> i like the fact that in linux...the files needed by my computer to run dont even belong to me, the user
[08:15] <WGGMk> sui: muep: and that is MS's flaw, compromissing the wrong things
[08:15] <Slart> norty: sure.. grep -o '[^/]+/[^/)+$'
[08:15] <sui> you guys you always have to comprmise security to make things easier
[08:15] <SHMO> Slart, "/media/sda1/200705~1.mp4" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[08:15] <xmanxxxx> sui: i had to reinstall ubuntu again to see if it work
[08:15] <xmanxxxx> ?/
[08:15] <muep> sui: yes, that's why they have done it in windows
[08:15] <sui> you cannot make a fullproof secure system thats also user friendly
[08:15] <oxeimon> sui: the problem is, linux doesn't always work, and compared to windows, it's Extremely buggy and hardware dependent
[08:15] <Slart> SHMO: run this first.. "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/sda1"
[08:15] <oxeimon> Hadeshorn: any ideas?
[08:16] <sui> xmanxxxx: did it work?
[08:16] <Hadeshorn> ox: I am soo lost it isnt funny
[08:16] <muep> oxeimon: linux is a lot less hardware dependent than windows
[08:16] <Hadeshorn> ox: i need to reinstall GDM
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> sui: nop
[08:16] <sweetsinse> linux is just a differnt concept of programming
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> it dont accept any serial man
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> any serial
[08:16] <sui> did you copy and past it?
[08:16] <sweetsinse> linux is a chain of scripts and highly specialized functions and commands
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> in suse it never happen
[08:16] <norty> Slart, that doesn';t seem to work, is there a typo in what you wrote?
[08:16] <oxeimon> muep: well, in the sense that it will load up on any hardware is one thing, but for it to work flawlessly, is extremely hardware dependent
[08:16] <sweetsinse> windows favors 'do-it-all' programs
[08:16] <WGGMk> IMO, linux is THE concept of an OS. Windows is the "different" concept
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> how i copy if i am in text mode
[08:16] <xmanxxxx> ?
[08:17] <oxeimon> muep: windows has worked perfectly on every computer I've ever built. Linux hasn't
[08:17] <muep> oxeimon: it's not hardware dependency in linux, it's just the lack of drivers
[08:17] <bazhang> weird internet situation--not mine, a friend's--can connect to google on a fresh gutsy install and gmail but nowhere else--would this be a ipv6 or a dns problem?
[08:17] <kahrytan> WGGMk->  Linux is the kernel and NT is kernel of Windows
[08:17] <badkitty> sui: Do you use linux or are you trolling?
[08:17] <muep> oxeimon: perfect is a subjective thing
[08:17] <Slart> norty: sorry.. use this instead.. grep -o '[^/]*/[^/)*$'

[08:17] <SaadS|AboutUs> I need help with my snd
[08:18] <SaadS|AboutUs> possible totall removal and reinstall
[08:18] <sui> XP 4 life!!
[08:18] <xmanxxxx> is possible work with thois shit o not, i'm fucking angry
[08:18] <sweetsinse> half the time devs have to reverse engineer the hardware to make drivers becasue so many vendors ASSUME we want windoze
[08:18] <sui> lol
[08:18] <Slart> norty: or change grep into egrep.. egrep understands the + operator.. regular grep doesn't
[08:18] <oxeimon> "ps aux" shows "nm-applet --sm-disable", what does that mean? How do I get it to start?
[08:18] <SHMO> Slart, how do i unmount and remount sda1?
[08:18] <xukun> Hi all. I wonder which subversion client is best for linux(ubuntu)?
[08:18] <bazhang> xmanxxxx: watch the language
[08:18] <Hadeshorn> whats the command to do a apt-get install and get the packages off a cd?
[08:18] <WGGMk> sweetsinse: thats not an assumption, thats market control

[08:18] <xmanxxxx> bazhang: u don understand
[08:19] <Slart> SHMO: and this to mount it again "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[08:19] <norty> Slart, im trying this but it's not working: ls | egrep -o '[^/]*/[^/]*$'
[08:19] <sweetsinse> if vendors made opengl games and linux drivers for everything there would be no windoze i think
[08:19] <sui> i don't think ubuntu is better then windows... however i do not think windows is better then ubuntu
[08:19] <kahrytan> simi->  edit xorg file
[08:19] <sweetsinse> hell look at the server market
[08:19] <sweetsinse> not alot of corps. running windoze servers
[08:19] <sui> the are diffrent
[08:19] <Slart> norty: ah.. that's because ls only prints out the filenames. not the path
[08:19] <WGGMk> I happen to agree with pocketdrummer, we have a lot of !offtopic here
[08:19] <Hadeshorn> whats the command to do a apt-get install and get the packages off a cd?

[08:24] <WGGMk> Can anyone give me some advice on a network layout? Security wise
[08:24] <sweetsinse> he is the GatesKeeper
[08:24] <badkitty> Slart: Oh no I was just seeing who the ops were... is there a better way to do this
[08:24] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. this then.. "cat /etc/mtab" ?
[08:24] <sui> Gateskeeper idk him
[08:24] <Slart> badkitty: ah.. I've only seen that used when someone needs to be kicked etc..
[08:24] <sweetsinse> bill gates bro

[08:25] <oxeimon> can someone please help me to get network-manager to start? "ps aux" gives "nm-applet --sm-disable", can someone PLEASE help...?
[08:25] <sui> i see... idk he never said anything about it to me...
[08:25] <Slart> SHMO: not in here.. pastebin..
[08:25] <norty> Slart, when i try that command it says "Permission denied"... do i need to stick sudo in there somewhere?
[08:25] <SHMO> http://pastebin.ca/900940
[08:25] <Slart> norty: my echo thingy?
[08:25] <SHMO> look i gotta go
[08:25] <badkitty> jussi01: Ok, I apologize .. what does it do..I figured using it by itself only shows me who ops are..not calls anyone
[08:25] <norty> yeah
[08:25] <sweetsinse> i dont think he would take to kindly to the idea of "free windoze" via the interent...hell vista ultimate costs over 400 where i w3rk
[08:25] <SHMO> i thought i could get this done in a couple of hours
[08:26] <Gumby> oxeimon: have you tried sudo Network-Manager (I think thats what it is)
[08:26] <xmanxxxx> the fucking ubuntu crash all
[08:26] <cooli1> anybody here that worked on the training manuals?
[08:26] <Hadeshorn> whats the command to do a apt-get install and get the packages off a cd?
[08:26] <pocketdrummer> Are only ops supposed to use !commands?
[08:26] <SHMO> but that's linux for ya
[08:26] <sui> do you know that if you're software cannot be pritated then that is a sure sign that it will fail
[08:26] <Hadeshorn> !apt-get
[08:26] <sxealex> is there someplace i can download the default apache2.conf file that comes with ubuntu  i deleted mine by mistake
[08:26] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[08:26] <oxeimon> Gumby: the command is "nm-applet", and that doesn't work. It doesn't do anything...
[08:26] <xukun> what's your preferred subversion client?
[08:26] <SHMO> i gtg
[08:26] <nealio> I am going to name my daughter ubuntu
[08:26] <SHMO> bbl
[08:26] <SHMO> i'll re-ask the question in a few hours
[08:26] <sui> nealio lol
[08:26] <sweetsinse> sxealex can you reinstall the package, not sure if that'll do
[08:26] <SHMO> thanks for the help so far, Slart
[08:26] <Slart> norty: shouldn't need sudo.. it's only a echo command..
[08:26] <norty> Slart, wait this is what happenes when i run: echo "/path1/test.txt" | egrep -o '[^/]*/[^/]*$' I get "path1/test.txt" but nothing else
[08:27] <Slart> SHMO: you're welcome
[08:27] <jussi01> pocketdrummer: no, anyone can, but !ops is only for emergencies :)
[08:27] <nealio> If I cant find a wife named ubuntu ill name my daughter that
[08:27] <oxeimon> Gumby: "ps aux" shows that nm-applet is already running, but for some reason it's running with the option "nm-applet --sm-disable", which according to the helpfile "disables connection to session manager"
[08:27] <sxealex> can i dpkg-reconfigure?
[08:27] <Slart> norty: ah.. thought so.. well that wasn't what you wanted?
[08:27] <WGGMk> can anyone advise me on security measures for running a server with listening applications and security? best practices? hardening the system?
[08:27] <norty> Slart, no, i want just the fullpath to the file but without the .ext
[08:27] <sxealex> i have only ssh access
[08:27] <norty> so like /path1/test.txt I want /path1/test
[08:28] <sui> WGGMk sounds like you will be reading lots of texts files on server security soon
[08:28] <SaadS|AboutUs> need help in reinstalling sound
[08:29] <badkitty> WGGMk: There are a few linux administration pdfs online that have alot of great in-depth information about that
[08:29] <sweetsinse> sxealex ill see if i got one
[08:29] <sxealex> :D
[08:29] <sxealex> you the man
[08:29] <sparr_> am i the only ubuntu user still encountering fallout of the apache->apache2 conversion?
[08:29] <Slart> norty: ahh.. I get it.. are there any dots in the path?
[08:29] <WGGMk> sui: i have a server running already but im just looking for friendly advice, or an assurance on how secure it is to run a server + firewall system as 1 instead of physically seperating it
[08:29] <sweetsinse> ok got it
[08:29]  * davidw is wondering if there was something dramatically wrong with the latest firefox upgrade
[08:29] <sxealex> i never have luck with any httpd.conf files
[08:29] <norty> no
[08:29] <norty> Slart, no there aren't
[08:30] <sweetsinse> open dcc with me
[08:30] <WGGMk> badkitty: you wouldnt happen to know a good direction to start at would ya? preferabbly NOT a HOW TO
[08:30] <sweetsinse> i dont remeber how to send files
[08:30] <Slart> norty: egrep -o '[^\.]*'
[08:30] <mwazny> I have a problem. My computer freezes with just the wallpaper showing when I try to log out or switch users or anything
[08:30] <sui> WGGMk don't you use a router?
[08:30] <Gumby> oxeimon: nm-applet --sm-disable is how it runs by default.  Its normal
[08:30] <norty> Slart, thanks!!
[08:31] <Slart> norty: you're welcome
[08:31] <Gumby> oxeimon: I think without sm-disable the network would only run as long as your session was running
[08:31] <oxeimon> Gumby: it's not appearing in my notification area, and I can't connect to the internet though...
[08:31] <WGGMk> sui: no, my server is serving my DHCP and a number of other things.. my WRT54G is flashed with DDWRT firmware acting as a wireless/ethernet bridge/access point
[08:31] <badkitty> WGGMk: Hmm I suppose I could find the name of some of the pdf's and you could search for them
[08:31] <xmanxxxx> the fucking ubuntu crash all
[08:31] <Gumby> oxeimon: if network-manager isnt running then what is the network applet supposed to connect to
[08:32] <Gumby> oxeimon: does ifconfig return any IP address for your network device?
[08:32] <sui> WGGMk yeah the best way to lean about it is just to google text files and grab ebooks off torrents and stuff
[08:32] <oxeimon> Gumby: normally when my internet is working, ifconfig gives 3 sections, "eth0, eth1", and something else
[08:32] <Gumby> oxeimon: I am guessing that your network issues do not lie with nm-applet (it is only an applet afterall) but more with your network settings/configuration
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: now, ifconfig gives a section "lo", with inet addr "127.0.0.1"
[08:33] <mwazny> can anyone help with a problem where ubuntu freezes every time I try to log out or switch users?
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: it's definitely with the applet.
[08:33] <davidw> damn
[08:33] <sweetsinse> i like tomato better that ddrt
[08:33] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, so your network isnt up.  no its ont the applet
[08:33] <davidw> firefox is dead in the water:-/
[08:33] <oxeimon> I followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:33] <oxeimon> Gumby: the two instructions under "Suspend support"
[08:33] <Gumby> oxeimon: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:33] <oxeimon> after I did that, I restarted, and nm-applet didn't load
[08:33] <sui> WGGMk default ubuntu is faily secure.. not much you can do to if execpt social engi the admin
[08:34] <oxeimon> Gumby: that didn't do anything.
[08:34] <snorkel> sui: what about the recent kernel exploit does that effect ubuntu?
[08:34] <WGGMk> sui: do you think there is any down fall to using the same machine to firewall and serve?
[08:34] <oxeimon> it said "reconfiguration network... [OK]"
[08:34] <oxeimon> *reconfiguring*
[08:35] <Gumby> oxeimon: so as I initially stated, network manager probably isnt running.  which of course means you have no network management and nm-applet can not connect to anything which is why it isnt working or possibly not even showing up
[08:35] <WGGMk> snorkel: it only effects you if you give out shell access, for example is someone can ssh into your machine.
[08:35] <sui> snorkel maybe im not up on all the details of that
[08:35] <Delvien> Is Ubuntuforums down?
[08:35] <Gumby> oxeimon: and what does ifconfig show now?
[08:36] <Slart> Delvien: works here
[08:36] <Filled-Void> Can I take a screennnnshot of my login screen somehow :x ?
[08:36] <sweetsinse> damn i really want to fix the gnome panels dying when compiz starts
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: how do I get network manager to start running?
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: ifconfig gives the same thing
[08:36] <Gumby> sudo  /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
[08:36] <sweetsinse> or just start compiz really early in the login process
[08:36] <oxeimon> Gumby: "lo...inet addr:127.0.0.1"
[08:36] <sui> http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257
[08:37] <Delvien> Slart its giving me a time out...
[08:37] <Delvien> slart weird
[08:37] <oxeimon> Gumby: wow, that worked. Now why didn't it do that normally?
[08:37] <oxeimon> Gumby:  actually, not I can see the applet, but it still doesnt connect
[08:38] <Gumby> oxeimon: try doing the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:38] <oxeimon> already tried
[08:38] <Gumby> what does ifconfig say now (dont paste here, paste somewhere like pastebin.ca and paste the resulting URL back here)
[08:39] <sui> snorkel "Unprivileged  local users can gain elevated (root) privileges. Since the
[08:39] <sui> vulnerability permits  privilege 0  ring code execution, users  may also
[08:39] <sui> break out from virtual machines like UML (user mode Linux)"
[08:39] <oxeimon> Gumby: well, I clearly can't paste, since I'm on another computer as the problem computer doesn't have internet
[08:39] <oxeimon> Gumby: but it gives the expected 3 sections
[08:39] <oxeimon> "eth0, eth1, lo", with no valid ip-addresses anywhere
[08:40] <Gumby> oxeimon:which connection is the default connection?
[08:40] <oxeimon> Gumby: "eth1" is the wireless
[08:40] <sui> WGGMk do you use remote logins on you're server?
[08:40] <ninetto> someone knows virtualbox ?
[08:40] <WGGMk> sui: yes why?
[08:40] <Gumby> oxeimon: are you using encryption with the wifi?
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: "eth1      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00...... UP BROADCAST MULTICASST MTU:1500  Metric:1  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:2841"
[08:41] <ninetto> i have a problem....after installation of vista in virtualbox i have a problem 67 to connect the shared directory
[08:41] <jason__> okay, i have tried literally everything. and still, the only operating system that will recognize my sound card and USE it, is freespire.. anyone have any ideas?
[08:41] <sui> MGGMk because thats the only way someone and exploit you're kernal
[08:41] <WGGMk> sui: i know, i just told someone else that
[08:41] <Gumby> oxeimon: try this  sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I recently installed some certificates via firefox that allowed me to connect to an encrypted network
[08:41] <WGGMk> sui: im not concerned though
[08:41] <ninetto> someone help me please ?
[08:41] <codename> Anyone know anything about installing UT2004
[08:41] <codename> On 7.10
[08:41] <oxeimon> Gumby: but there's another unencrypted network that I often connect to as well
[08:42] <oxeimon> Gumby:  and neither works
[08:42] <Gumby> oxeimon: see if it shows wireless networks available and hopefully at least yours
[08:42] <sweetsinse> has anyone else used freenx
[08:42] <sui> WGGMk ubuntu passwords are more secure then vista
[08:42] <oxeimon> Gumby: Yes it does
[08:42] <WGGMk> sui: i think that would depend on the individual
[08:42] <simi> i can't find where gnome is saving my resoltion, i will try to save it in xorg but is not posible that gnome or ubuntu change it back to the maximum suported resolution?
[08:42] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, that is good.  have a look at the nm-applet now.  does is list those networks?
[08:43] <sui> WGGMk you host lots of people
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby:  in fact, it shows 43 networks, a bunch of which have the same name as the ones I normally connect to
[08:43] <WGGMk> a private group
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby:  and yes, it does.
[08:43] <alinon> i'm having issues changing the theme for my lock dialog, anyone care to lend a hand?
[08:43] <codename> Anyone know anything about installing UT2004
[08:43] <Gumby> oxeimon: and can you connect to those ones you were connecting to before now?
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby: However, when I click on them, it tries to connect for 5 seconds, and fails.
[08:43] <WGGMk> sui: a private group (didnt include your name that time)
[08:43] <oxeimon> Gumby: I cannot connect to any of them
[08:44] <alinon> i'm not getting any errors, but my theme doesn't change either
[08:44] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, let me read that page you posted earlier for a second.
[08:44] <sweetsinse> alinon them for everything?
[08:44] <oxeimon> Gumby: which page
[08:44] <sweetsinse> theme*
[08:44] <Gumby> oxeimon: what exactly were you trying to do when following the instructions on that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:44] <alinon> sweetsince: no just for the lock dialog theme
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: well, my wireless used to randomly crash, taking the whole computer down with it
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: so I was trying to fix that
[08:45] <sweetsinse> like shutdown and gksudo and whatnot
[08:45] <taime1> no sound on my laptop..help?
[08:45] <wers> in what directory are kde icons located? :)
[08:45] <Gumby> oxeimon: ok, that page isnt going to help with that
[08:45] <alinon> sweetsince: like if you hit ctrl-alt L - i want to change what that lock screen looks like
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: so I followed the instructions under "Suspend support", and later on under "Disabling NetworkManager"
[08:45] <oxeimon> Gumby: but afterwards, I deleted all the files I created
[08:45] <sweetsinse> ahhhh
[08:46] <sweetsinse> never use that
[08:46] <Gumby> oxeimon: rm /etc/acpi/suspend.d/*network-manager.sh (just in case)
[08:46] <alinon> sweetsince: i went to gnome-look.org and found one i like, followed the instructions - but it's just not changing it
[08:46] <sweetsinse> does everything else change like gksudo and the logout screen alinon
[08:46] <oxeimon> Gumby: no such file or directory :-)
[08:47] <alinon> sweetsinse: naw, it's only suppose to change the lock theme
[08:47] <sweetsinse> i didnt know there were themes just for that?
[08:47] <Gumby> oxeimon: and also sudo rm /etc/default/NetworkManager*
[08:47] <sweetsinse> interesting
[08:47] <oxeimon> Gumby: can you paste your /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManager
[08:47] <Gumby> oxeimon: sudo  /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher.pid
[08:48] <Werdna> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a system with no cd-rom drive, unable to boot from usb with syslinux (but it can read the drive), and a floppy drive. I've copied the contents of the ubuntu cd to my USB drive, and I'm trying to boot into it via a floppy drive. How can I talk syslinux into booting a kernel on external media (such as a usb storage device)?
[08:48] <alinon> sweetsince: yeap if you goto gconf-editor and change the lock_dialog-theme
[08:48] <oxeimon> Gumby: I mean, your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher", and your "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager"
[08:48] <oxeimon> Gumby: I think I accidentally deleted those...
[08:48] <sweetsinse> Werdna i just did this
[08:48] <alinon> sweetsince: they look great, i just can't change mine! haha
[08:48] <Gumby> oxeimon: http://pastebin.ca/900958
[08:48] <sweetsinse> i have the floppy at my house though and im not there :(
[08:48] <Gumby> thats the first one
[08:49] <Werdna> sweetsinse: how'd you do it?
[08:49] <oxeimon> Gumby: would yours be the same as mine?
[08:49] <sweetsinse> i found a boot image for a floppy somewhere
[08:49] <alinon> well i guess i'm just gonna try rebooting and see if that helps
[08:49] <Werdna> sweetsinse: remember anything about it?
[08:49] <sweetsinse> basically uses drivers 2 mount the cdrom then boot from there
[08:49] <Gumby> oxeimon: second one is http://pastebin.ca/900960
[08:49] <sweetsinse> gimme a min
[08:50] <Gumby> oxeimon: I am using ubuntu hardy so it may or may not be.  tough to tell
[08:50] <NineTeen67Comet> WWhuah nelly! .. I recently updated my son's computer (7.10 Ubuntu) and rebooted to blackness .. No BIOS even .. I can hear the hd spin around, and even moved the PCI video card around and tried an AGP card I have laying around with same results .. help?
[08:50] <Gumby> oxeimon: cant hurt to try though.
[08:50] <oxeimon> hmm, if I reinstall networkmanager, would that remake those scripts?
[08:50] <sweetsinse> oxeimon
[08:50] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, does not sound like an OS / update problem
[08:50] <sweetsinse> do you know much about the s30gdm script
[08:50] <oxeimon> sweetsinse: yes?
[08:51] <oxeimon> sweetsinse: nope nothing at all
[08:51] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, do you hear beeps?
[08:51] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: that's what I'm thinking .. maybe the mobo battery?
[08:51] <sweetsinse> in my bootcharts...gdm starts from that script then gets killed and reinitiated by the getty
[08:51] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: yeah .. it'll beep three times sometimes, and others it'll dual beet, then tripple .. I'm in google now looking up beeps ..
[08:51] <sweetsinse> i want to solve this flashing screen between usplash and gdm
[08:51] <Gumby> oxeimon: after editing those files I'd give your system a reboot and see how things worked then
[08:51] <tijn> 3 beeps have a meaning indeed ;)
[08:51] <cptnymo> hello
[08:52]  * NineTeen67Comet lol .. no beeps now .. sigh ..
[08:52] <tijn> maybe  your memory
[08:52] <cptnymo> is the update website down for ubuntu?
[08:52] <NineTeen67Comet> tijn: yeah .. slowly pulling and replacing stuff .. lucky it is an old box with hardware I've got in supply .. lol
[08:53] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, what you also can do is strip the system completly except mobo/proc etc and listen for beeps
[08:53] <jakil_> re

[08:55] <cptnymo> yes i tryed to update at it said 404
[08:55] <badkitty> how did you try to update?
[08:55] <oxeimon> Gumby: I can't seem to reinstall network-manager
[08:55] <oxeimon> Gumby: can I somehow get it from the ubuntu install disk?
[08:56] <Gumby> oxeimon: reinstall?
[08:56] <Gumby> you completely removed it?

[08:56] <marshmello> How would I go about adding all ips to the ban list in the iptable and then adding certain ips on a specif port limited access?
[08:56] <P1ro> hi, any guide to update kernel ?
[08:57] <oxeimon> Gumby: how do I create them?
[08:57] <oxeimon> Gumby: the ones you sent me are from hardy, and I can't copy/paste
[08:57] <tijn> NineTeen67Comet, well it can be multiple problems, mem, video card, proc, mobo etc
[08:57] <badkitty> cptnymo: Is that for kde?
[08:57] <Pupeno> any recommended RSS reader?
[08:57] <Gumby> oxeimon: well a few ways, you can open them up on the desktop by doing gksudo gedit /path/to/file  or via a console by doing sudo nano -w /path/to/file
[08:58] <Gumby> oxeimon: floppy? cdrom?  usbstich?  copy them over
[08:58] <P1ro> its there any guide/doc or something to update the kernel ?
[08:58] <Gumby> usbstick

[08:59] <badkitty> cptnymo: I dunno what that repo is for.. i dont get an error and I dont think that is a repo in my sources
[08:59] <sweetsinse> Werdna you there

[09:03] <P1ro> i have two kernel and im trying to patch one driver and it always patchs the old kernel !
[09:03] <Werdna> sweetsinse: yes
[09:03] <sweetsinse> ok
[09:03] <sweetsinse> you need sbm.bin
[09:03] <sweetsinse> SmartBootManager
[09:03] <mabap> Hello how do I view a dvd?
[09:04] <gary4gar> codename, http://ubuntu-forum.com/showthread.php?t=394706
[09:04] <ttys2> how can i sett user rights in fstab for smbfs
[09:04] <Werdna> sweetsinse: cheers.
[09:04] <sweetsinse> use:    dd if=sbm.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1 count=512    :to copy to a floppy haha
[09:05] <sweetsinse> Werdna that last part is important
[09:05] <sweetsinse> its like rawrite in windows
[09:05] <nomopofomo> Hello, I'm trying to figure out why the title bar of windows turns white occasionally.
[09:05] <thelonecabbage> is there an applet than can monitor remote server uptime?
[09:05] <badkitty> mabap: Use vlc or totem
[09:05] <unixpower> hello all
[09:06] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: I use Munin to track all my boxes .. munin.openlug.com .. you can also just have it watch your one box ..
[09:06] <pabix> nomopofomo, system, preferences, sounds, system bell ?
[09:06] <Pupeno> I am used to Akregator, but I'd like to use something more Gnomish on Gnome.
[09:06] <NineTeen67Comet> aptitude intstall munin-node munin and some minor /etc/munin/*.conf editing and it'll be up
[09:06] <feanorek> how can i hide, my hdd icon on the desktop?? I got gnome
[09:06] <gary4gar> does d4x, support multiple connections to same servers?
[09:06] <Werdna> sweetsinse: I have rawrite, I'm in windows now :P
[09:06] <sweetsinse> whats akgragator
[09:07] <thelonecabbage> NineTeen67Comet: I use munin
[09:07] <sweetsinse> ok perfect
[09:07] <Survivorman>     Liferea is gnomish
[09:07] <badkitty> sweetsinse: RSS reader i believe
[09:07] <thelonecabbage> but I need something more simple, just to report when a server goes down
[09:07] <mabap> badkitty: okay I will try this
[09:08] <oCtodur> anyone that have time to give help with a e100_eeprom_load: EEPROM corrupted error while booting ubuntu ?
[09:08] <pabix> gary4gar, system, preferences, peripherals
[09:08] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: I use a server uptime service that'll pop you an e-mail .. http://www.serviceuptime.com/free_monitoring.php first URL is free.
[09:08] <pabix> gary4gar, sorry, was for feanorek
[09:08] <nomopofomo> pabix, it's nothing to do with sounds at all. It's a bug, I believe, where the title bar of a window will turn white/gray and the minimize/maximize/close buttons become mostly invisible.
[09:08] <pabix> nomopofomo, got compiz?
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> unless the email reaches out and smacks me in the head, it's not much use
[09:09] <mabap> badkitty: Totem could not play 'file:///home/mabap/media:/hda'
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> the point is I need something to alert me when a server goes down
[09:09] <thelonecabbage> I don't check my email 'cept once or twice a day
[09:09] <feanorek> pabix, thx
[09:09] <nomopofomo> pabix, I believe I do but I think I probably need to download the application that allows me access to the advanced compiz settings, right?
[09:10] <pabix> nomopofomo, for compiz issues, you better ask another person... I'm the wrong one :(
[09:10] <NineTeen67Comet> thelonecabbage: lol .. Hire a little kid to go off when he sees his game go down .. lol .. I dunno what'll actually pop out a signal other than e-mail or log ..
[09:10] <badkitty> mabap: If it doesn't work you probably need to download the codecs
[09:10] <ttys2> where can i find material that will give me an idea about user rights and how they work when it comes to setting them my self
[09:10] <thelonecabbage> NineTeen67Comet: in theory applet
[09:11] <thelonecabbage> I guess I'll have to write one
[09:11]  * pabix is compiling itk, vtk, ffmpeg, mpeg2-encode, and paraview...
[09:11] <nomopofomo> pabix, maybe you can help me with another issue? Which plug-in would you recommend for viewing Quicktime movies in Firefox?
[09:11] <pabix> nomopofomo, mplayer plug-in?
[09:11] <nomopofomo> pabix, I'll look, thanks :)
[09:11] <pabix> you search for mplayer in synaptic (and you have downloaded the non-free codecs)
[09:11] <Survivorman> pabix, does the whole app grey out?
[09:11] <mabap> badkitty: I have all the codecs.. :/
[09:12] <nomopofomo> Survivorman, are you talking to me?
[09:12] <Survivorman> Oops
[09:12] <pabix> Survivorman, I have no problem with my desktop, you might have asked nomopofomo
[09:12] <Survivorman> Sorry
[09:12] <badkitty> mabap: are you sure.. do you have libdvdcss2?
[09:12] <pabix> :)
[09:12] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo what driver and vidcard you using
[09:12] <Survivorman> Sorry pabix
[09:12] <pabix> no need to be
[09:12] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, nvidia and Geforce 6600 GT
[09:12] <Werdna> sweetsinse: didn't work. my files are on a USB drive, which it wouldn't talk to.
[09:13] <sweetsinse> oh you did say that didnt you Werdna
[09:13] <sweetsinse> i thought you needed floppy
[09:13] <Survivorman> In compiz, the whole app occasionally greys out when the app crashes, but if the titlebars disappear, usually switching from gtk back to emerald helps me fix it
[09:13] <Werdna> no, not enough room on a floppy :P
[09:13] <sweetsinse> ahh
[09:14] <sweetsinse> what do you need on there?
[09:14] <sweetsinse> what you mean not enough room
[09:14] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo what wndow decorator
[09:14] <nomopofomo> Survivorman, no, that's not the case. Sometimes while switching between windows or moving my mouse over the title bar buttons, the title bar ONLY will grey out.
[09:14] <Werdna> sweetsinse: the 700MB ubuntu install disk. I can't find my damn USB CD-ROM drive. I've copied the files themselves onto a USB disk, and I want to run it.
[09:14] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, compiz... I think? I don't actually know what a window decorator is.
[09:15] <Werdna> sweetsinse: I've determined that if syslinux would work on that disk, I'd be in business.
[09:15] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, I know I'm using the human theme. 7.10 Gutsy.
[09:15] <nomic> can anyone tell me when i have set up a simple NFS share and i type "sudo mount 192.168.0.2:/home/dan  /home/dan"  where 192.168.0.2 is the inet address of wlan0 on the server  -- I get "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.0.2:/home/dan, missing code page or helper program or other error"
[09:15] <sweetsinse> Werdna why not use floppy to boot cd, what were you trying to do again
[09:16] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo you are probly using gtk-window-decorator
[09:16] <Werdna> sweetsinse: Install ubuntu. I don't have a CD drive for this computer (it's a laptop)
[09:16] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, how would I confirm?
[09:16] <pocketdrummer> Is there a Dashboard like program that works well with Ubuntu (that I can get from the repository?)
[09:17] <sweetsinse> ps aux | grep gtk-window
[09:17] <dgjones> nomic, are you using this help guide to setup nfs? https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html
[09:17] <sweetsinse> run that nomopofomo
[09:17] <nomic> nope
[09:17] <nomic> i will try that one
[09:18] <nomopofomo> /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --replace
[09:18] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, I am running it.
[09:18] <badkitty> pocketdrummer: screenlets?
[09:18] <sweetsinse> you could try like soeone suggested, to install emerald nomopofomo
[09:18] <sweetsinse> i personally like it alot
[09:18] <pocketdrummer> badkitty: is it available from the repository and not Ubuntu breaking? This is the first time I've had it up and running without serious problems.
[09:19] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, what's it called in the package manager?
[09:19] <sweetsinse> and i know gtk has issues sometimes with compiz
[09:19] <oxeimon> Gumby: thanks for all your help. I finally have it working
[09:19] <griffi1> does anyone where is the file .config for the kernel when youfirst install ubuntu (I mean the kernel header) ??
[09:19] <sweetsinse> just emerald
[09:19] <Gumby> oxeimon: good to hear
[09:19] <oxeimon> Gumby: and by working, I mean back to the point before I tried to fix it hahahah
[09:19] <sweetsinse> compiz will use it by default if it exists
[09:19] <badkitty> pocketdrummer: Umm actually i think it is.. try it if not, its just a repo away..
[09:19] <dgjones> nomic, i used that and didn't have a problem setting it up, my nfs shares mount from fstab, instead of using the hostname, i use the ip address of the machine and have set the mount points into /media
[09:19] <Gumby> oxeimon: always a learning experience :)
[09:19] <nomic> right thanks dgjones ... btw how do you get a hostname for a machine instead of an ip address
[09:20] <oxeimon> now I can finally start on my problem set that's due tomorrow. gahhhhh
[09:20] <nomic> i think it is because i should be using fstab
[09:20] <sweetsinse> Werdna do you have a floppy though on that lappy
[09:20] <oboy03> what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card
[09:21] <nomopofomo> One last question. How do I choose which plug-in I want to decode movies in my browser if there are two installed? Should I just remove the Totem plug-in or will that cause dependency errors? I would rather use the VLC plug-in.
[09:21] <dgjones> nomic, i'm not sure about getting the hostname, its something i need to have a look at myself at some point for situations when the ip address changes
[09:21] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo remove totem-mozilla
[09:21] <nomic> yes i gather the ip address may not be constant dgjones
[09:22] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo is emerald w3rking/
[09:22] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, installing it now :)
[09:23] <dgjones> nomic, in theory on mine it should be, i use mac address filtering and each allowed mac address is linked to an internal ip address on the router, but for some reason my router settings have gotten confused and they've changed which is why i want to change to the hostname
[09:23] <oboy03> what should i do if in my restricted drivers manger ATI card is present and not NVIDIA which is my video card
[09:23] <nomopofomo> oboy03, shit a brick.
[09:23] <sweetsinse> oboy03 is everything w3rking at the moment?
[09:23] <oboy03> yeah
[09:23] <nomic>  l8r dgjones
[09:24] <sweetsinse> then id say if it aint broke... :)
[09:24] <oboy03> sweetsinse: then i cant use accelerated graphic
[09:25] <sweetsinse> ahh
[09:25] <badkitty> lol
[09:25] <Werdna> sweetsinse: yes.
[09:25] <oboy03> nomopofomo: what do u mean by shit a brick???
[09:25] <speedhunt3r> can anyone use QtTube anymore? seems like every URL times out when i try to download...
[09:25] <sweetsinse> haha what is output of:   lspci | grep VGA   :oboy03
[09:26] <oboy03> ??
[09:26] <nomopofomo> oboy03, I meant it sounds like a tricky problem.
[09:26] <sweetsinse> Werdna i dont know, maybe sbm can pass boot to usb also?
[09:26] <badkitty> oboy03: He means, that shouldn't be possible
[09:26] <Werdna> sweetsinse: nope.
[09:26] <oboy03> well it is possible
[09:26] <badkitty> oboy03: And that your are in a jam
[09:27] <sweetsinse> haha
[09:27] <sweetsinse> a very sticky fruit jam
[09:27] <badkitty> oboy03: How could it recognize an nvidia card as an ati?
[09:27] <sweetsinse> yes that is peculiar
[09:27] <sweetsinse> what is the output of that command oboy03
[09:27] <nomopofomo> Haha, how do I actually apply one of these themes in Emerald?
[09:28] <oboy03> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
[09:28] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo are you in the theme manager for emerald
[09:28] <oboy03> but in restricted driver it says
[09:28] <nomopofomo> Yes
[09:28] <oboy03> ATI accelerated drvier and HAL
[09:29] <sweetsinse> hang on i dont have it installed on hardy
[09:29] <norty> how do i get diff to print out 0 or 1 everytime? i need to use it in an if statement..
[09:29] <nomopofomo> Sigh... I need subversion...
[09:29] <nomopofomo> I'm on it sweetsinse.
[09:30] <sweetsinse> oboy03 you might have to specify driver in xorg.conf, dont know which you need?
[09:30] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo do you have a .emerald file
[09:31] <sweetsinse> pretty sure you just go to 'Import'
[09:31] <badkitty> oboy03: I see the system tells you its an nvidia card but it recommends an ati driver in the restricted manager?
[09:31] <oboy03> badkitty: yes
[09:31] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, not yet. I could export one from the theme manager but I'm going to try to import some first from the repositories.
[09:31] <sweetsinse> oh
[09:31] <nomopofomo> But first, I need subversion.
[09:31] <sweetsinse> i dont know of any packages in the repos
[09:32] <oboy03> i just updated a while ago and i am surprise it recommends ATI, i had it working before with nvidia
[09:32] <badkitty> oboy03: Can you install the nvidia drivers yourself?
[09:32] <sweetsinse> do you remeber what driver you were using
[09:32] <oboy03> badkitty: i do not know manually, i just follow the update
[09:33] <oboy03> i remember the new-nvidia-glx
[09:33] <oboy03> i think
[09:33] <cafuego> nvidia-glx-new
[09:33] <oboy03> thats it
[09:34] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, yeah, I can't figure out how to get any of the themes from the repositories...
[09:34] <oboy03> i tried now sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[09:35] <nomopofomo> after that command finishes, oboy03, run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[09:35] <badkitty> oboy03: Your going to have to enable the restricted repo i imagine
[09:35] <badkitty> oh ...it worked?
[09:35] <oboy03> so how can i remove the ati and the HAL?
[09:36] <sweetsinse> no sure either, didnt know there were theme packs in repo nomopofomo
[09:36] <sweetsinse> oh you dont want to remove hal my friend
[09:37] <sweetsinse> emerald is crazy customizable
[09:38] <corporeal> anyone here use ypserv/nis?
[09:38] <Le^stat> how do i install different login screens or themes
[09:38] <sweetsinse> system > administration > login window
[09:38] <Le^stat> i've downloaded some
[09:39] <Le^stat> it doesnt recognise it
[09:39] <sweetsinse> did you unpack it
[09:39] <oboy03> i think u hav to us gdm manager or something like that
[09:39] <sweetsinse> leave it as a .tar
[09:40] <Le^stat> oh
[09:40] <Le^stat> nice one
[09:40] <Le^stat> ta
[09:40] <norty> How do I get diff to output either 0 or 1, i need to use it for an if statement.. ??
[09:40] <sweetsinse> haha no worries
[09:41] <sweetsinse> norty is this bash
[09:41] <sweetsinse> script
[09:41] <norty> no csh
[09:41] <mabap> norty: diff a b > /dev/null; echo $?
[09:41] <Werdna> sweetsinse: any ideas?
[09:42] <norty> I need it to work locally
[09:42] <mabap> norty: what do you mean?
[09:43] <norty> can't have access to /dev
[09:43] <oboy03> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable   did not work
[09:43] <nomopofomo> I can't figure out how to make Emerald work for me. :(
[09:43] <badkitty> nomopofomo: It doesn't work at all?
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> nomopofomo: are your graphics drivers installed?
[09:44] <nomopofomo> IndyGunFreak, course. badkitty I opened up the app in System >Preferences but can't figure out how to apply the theme.
[09:44] <boy> hai
[09:44] <badkitty> nomopofomo: You apply the theme inside of emerald
[09:44] <sweetsinse> Werdna i dont suppose youve poked around your bios for usb support...haha wishful thinking?
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> nomopofomo: it should enable as soon as you choose it, least it always has for me.
[09:45] <nomopofomo> emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0" from terminal
[09:45] <boy> what is your name
[09:45] <nomopofomo> I meant that came from the terminal.
[09:45] <sweetsinse> nomopofomo can you see the default red borders?
[09:45] <nomopofomo> No.
[09:45] <sweetsinse> you need to restart compiz
[09:45] <badkitty> i see... have you rebooted since you installed it?
[09:45] <sweetsinse> or
[09:45] <sweetsinse> in terminal
[09:45] <nomopofomo> badkitty, no :)
[09:45] <sweetsinse> emerald --replace
[09:45] <oboy03> is there an easier way to remove the list in the restricted driver manager?
[09:46] <norty> nevermind i got it
[09:46] <norty> thanks
[09:46] <nomopofomo> sweetsinse, that worked!
[09:46] <sweetsinse> mmm BOMB
[09:46] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: why are you worried about it?.. just disable what you don't want, enable what you want, and don't worry about it.
[09:46] <sweetsinse> compiz will boot emerald from now on
[09:46] <nomopofomo> Uh oh.
[09:46] <badkitty> nomopofomo: That was my next move
[09:46] <oboy03> thats the problem
[09:46] <sweetsinse> hahaha
[09:46] <oboy03> what i want is not in it
[09:46] <oboy03> :)
[09:47] <sweetsinse> haha i think he killed his decorations
[09:47] <sweetsinse> when he closed term
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: ok, think about your question.
[09:47] <oboy03> i cant use accelerated graphics if my card is not detected
[09:47] <Werdna> sweetsinse: well, it HAS usb support, but I've tried numerous syslinux-based methods to boot from it, and all I get is 'Boot error'
[09:47] <sweetsinse> hmm
[09:47] <oboy03> so any ideas?
[09:48] <kerbtray> hello, i want to know if running virtualbox on a 64 bits ubntu installation would really get a perfomance boost out of my machines. Can someone give me some vieuws on that ?
[09:48] <sweetsinse> i wish i could help ya more man but i have never done anything with usb Werdna
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> yes, install your graphics drivers
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: what type of graphics device?
[09:48] <oboy03> yeah it is installed and not listed
[09:48] <oboy03> fx5500
[09:48] <oboy03> nvidia
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:49] <sweetsinse> what is output of:   glxinfo | grep direct   :oboy03
[09:49] <oboy03> glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:49] <sweetsinse> ha what the fudge
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> well, i'd say your drivers likely aren't setup
[09:50] <sweetsinse> yes a very not good sign
[09:50] <oboy03> isnt the update suppose to handle that?
[09:50] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: how did you install the driver?
[09:50] <oboy03> it just update from the main server
[09:50] <sweetsinse> oboy is this udgrade from feisty 2 gutsy

[09:54] <achandrashekar> i am trying to failover/load balance for ltsp
[09:54] <oboy03> i always end up reinstalling ubuntu
[09:54] <kazil> hi all! i'm loosing wireless connection when trying something to upload (torrents, ftp, browser, no difference). i've got LevelOne WNC-0305USB adapter. anyone any idea?
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | kazil try looking here
[09:55] <ubotu> kazil try looking here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: if you end up reinstalling, then you're doing something horribly wrong.,... reinstalling isn't fixing problems..,
[09:55] <blue1> Hello, could someone help me on how to transfer data between two hdd's? I can only see one of the dics's in the folder management
[09:56] <oboy03> yeah
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: so the first thing, your nvidia driver is not installed.
[09:56] <oboy03> its just that linux is not as user friendly as windows
[09:56] <griffi1> achandrashekar: if you find a way for dhcp failover let me know pls I m very interesting
[09:56] <oboy03> but im trying hard
[09:57] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: sure it is, you've jus been spoonfed windows your whole life.
[09:57] <oboy03> yeah i agree
[09:57] <oboy03> so now nvidia i guess is not installed
[09:57] <achandrashekar> griffil: i am close. but i have a problem with failover parameter causing dhcp not to start
[09:57] <Ernst> Will the new kernel 2.6.24 make it into Hardy Heron?
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: it would appear so
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia | oboy03
[09:58] <ubotu> oboy03: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:58] <linuxas> hello
[09:58] <oboy03> is there a way to fix things without tying anything in the terminal?
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: it should have been recognized and setup out of the box, why it wasn't, i don't know.
[09:58] <Belisarivs> I and my friends in flat are connected to the Internet. Actually we have line connection to router with which we created wireless network
[09:58] <Belisarivs> we connect to that network
[09:59] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: thats almost a given, NO... you'll almost always need to use terminal.
[09:59] <Belisarivs> when I download via ktorrent, my friends are unable to browse web and so
[09:59] <blue1> My drives shows up in disk & filesystems, but not with df -h http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3746/56615644aq8.png
[09:59] <linuxas> i resized my ext3 filesystem. and now at boot time, it shows that's cann't read at filesystem... check this --> http://pastebin.ca/900996
[09:59] <Belisarivs> so, how to configure ktorrent so they are no longer bothered?
[09:59] <Belisarivs> Any idea?
[09:59] <linuxas> what can i do?
[10:00] <linuxas> Belisarivs, use azureus :)
[10:00] <IndyGunFreak> Belisarivs: thats probably a question for ktorrent, as it has nothign to do with Ubuntu
[10:00] <blue1> or bittorrent if you dont like java slowing down your system
[10:00] <linuxas> any idea what can i do with this http://pastebin.ca/900996 ?
[10:00] <Nozy> hi all
[10:01] <mason> hello ??
[10:01] <Nozy> I have 1 thing that is driver me mad it to do with my KB not sure why but my ¨
[10:01] <mason> i'm a newbie here
[10:01] <mason> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4311216&posted=1#post4311216
[10:01] <oboy03> so how do i set the restricted driver to the way it was when it was installed?
[10:01] <mason> can somebody teach me how to fix this problem ?
[10:01] <Nozy> dont work right was will as ´ < key
[10:02] <Ayabara_> or there good movie players out there besides mplayer and vlc?
[10:02] <Ayabara_> or->are
[10:02] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: so let me understand, your nvidia card was in restricted driver when you installed?
[10:02] <mason> sorry just know disconnect
[10:03] <oboy03> nope
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> Ayabara_: totem, xine, vlc is the best in my opinion though
[10:03] <oboy03> it was before i reinstalled
[10:03] <oboy03> it was the only present
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> well, i don't know why it wouldn't be now.
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> why did you reinstlal last time?
[10:04] <oboy03> then i reinstalled yesterday and updated a while ago, and now ati is a choice instead of nvidia
[10:04] <mason> i was already install xserver-xgl, and when i type compiz in terminal i get this:Checking for Xgl: not present.
[10:04] <mason> No whitelisted driver found
[10:04] <mason> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity  "
[10:04] <mason> this is my graphic card:VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
[10:04] <oboy03> i resintalled because the desktop was gone after i login
[10:04] <mason> i click the restricted drivers manager and got the message "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[10:04] <mason> i set the advanced desktop effects nothing appear, i want to enable the effects but got the message"desktop effects could not be enabled"
[10:04] <mason> why?
[10:04] <mason> can some one teach me ?
[10:04] <Ayabara_> IndyGunFreak: ok. I'm using the vlc nightly now, and when its stable "enough" I think it will replace mplayer as my favorite choice
[10:05] <IndyGunFreak> Ayabara_: the version in the repositories is perfectly stable, why are you using the nightly build?
[10:06] <oboy03> well im gonna rest for a while my head aches from troubleshooting :)
[10:06] <IndyGunFreak> oboy03: trouble shoot it the way you did the first time, reinstall.lol.
[10:06] <Ayabara_> IndyGunFreak: a couple of things I miss is implemented there. like a shortcut to zoom video to 50/100/200% of original size
[10:06] <yclian> I don't know whether I should hate IBM and Oracle; or Debian when I realized a lot of th installation of their products require extra efforts on Debian/Ubuntu. :-|
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> yclian: well, like what.
[10:08] <Survivorman> I blame Charles Babbage
[10:08] <bazhang> yclian: got an actual question?
[10:08] <yclian> WebSphere MQ and Oracle 11g not working as expected. Maybe I'm not doing the right things.
[10:08] <yclian> nah nah, not actual questions.
[10:08] <yclian> *no
[10:08] <bazhang> Survivorman: interesting but offtopic
[10:08] <badkitty> yclian: Why use those db's over others
[10:08] <yclian> badkitty: trying to reproduce some client's problems.

[10:20] <tumbleweed__> chicken
[10:20] <newTruth> Hi all, anyone knows how to run a script on media insert??
[10:20] <gwork> fdafda: use mount and your device name under /dev/ for the drive you want to mount
[10:20] <Belisarivs> levander: reboot? wtf?
[10:20] <levander> newTruth: System -> Administration -> Removable Drives
[10:21] <newTruth> Super ! thanks
[10:21] <levander> Belisarivs: That's what the Ubuntu restricted drivers manager says to do
[10:21] <fdafda> gwork: if I do mount, or mount -a, it comes up as 1 sda, but it should be hda, and the second one doesn't show at all
[10:21] <levander> Belisarivs: I know I should be able to just restart X, but I'm going to follow instructions
[10:21] <Belisarivs> restarting Xes is enough
[10:22] <kazil> i'm loosing wireless connection when trying something to upload (torrents, ftp, browser, no difference). i've got LevelOne WNC-0305USB adapter. anyone any idea? i looked the help stuff, but no solution
[10:22] <gwork> fdafda: where is your boot manager located, and do you use your bios menu to select a drive to boot from?
[10:23] <fdafda> gwork: both drives have been primary discs, so both have grubs installed on them, in bios the primary is selected as primary, and that's the one that comes up.

[10:26] <psavva> i'm sticking with 2.0.0.27

[10:26] <zala> ciao ho un problema con l'installazzione della nuova vers di amule
[10:26] <zala> aiuto!!!!!
[10:26] <gwork> fdafda: how can you adres your second harddisk? is it known as /dev/sdb?

[10:27] <cheesypieces> hello there, anyone have a recommendation for a program to keep 2 network folders in sync?
[10:27] <levander> I just figured out what started me down this whole mess with my graphics card.  In the Ubuntu Screen and Graphics application, if I have the monitor's refresh set to 50 Hz, I get transparent vertical black bars across my desktop.  When I change it to 57 Hz, they go away...  Anybody seen anything similar to that?
[10:27] <fdafda> gwork: This is with "df -h": http://pastebin.com/d8b1ae1d
[10:28] <gwork> try /media/disk
[10:28] <dgjones> !backup | cheesypieces, this might have something usefull, I use "Unison" to backup folders manually across a network
[10:28] <ubotu> cheesypieces, this might have something usefull, I use "Unison" to backup folders manually across a network: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[10:29] <gwork> fdafda: try /media/disk, it may well be that /dev/sdc1 is the primary partition you are looking for
[10:29] <cheesypieces> dgjones: ok i'll have a look, thanks
[10:29] <fdafda> gwork: That is a usb stick, sorry for confusion..
[10:30] <dgjones> cheesypieces, it might not be what you need, from memory, people seem to recommend rsync but i've never looked into that myself
[10:30] <gwork> fdafda: okay. then you still have sdb left to try.. try fdisk on /dev/sdb to see if there is any partition on there. Be sure not to remove things!
[10:30] <pocketwatch> i cant ctrl+alt+F1- to get to a terminal screen anymore. the runlevel is correct, any ideas?
[10:31] <pocketwatch> it's a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left
[10:33] <fdafda> gwork: it comes up like this on sdb: http://pastebin.com/d5ebc804f
[10:34] <thyultimate> hello
[10:34] <gwork> fdafda: press m to see the commands. there should be something about printing a list of partitions (i *think* it's P).
[10:34] <thyultimate> i cant switch between workspaces anymore, any idea why?
[10:34] <fdafda> gwork: you are right, it was 'p': http://pastebin.com/d2cc1443c
[10:35] <thyultimate> does anyone know?
[10:36] <thyultimate> :(
[10:36] <pocketwatch> thyultimate: how do you mean?
[10:36] <psavva> check compiz
[10:37] <thyultimate> yep that was it, compiz had stopped, why did it do that without asking?
[10:37] <eckesicle> join #fedora
[10:37] <eckesicle> whoops, sorry
[10:38] <fdafda> gwork: so it somehow needs a new mount-point or how to make it accessible from the current (sda) drive I'm on?
[10:39] <gwork> fdafda: do you get the result you expected?
[10:39] <psavva> no idea thyultimate, i know it causes problems with regards to the amount of desktops you have...
[10:39] <thyultimate> its just 4
[10:39] <black_king> #ubuntu
[10:40] <gwork> fdafda: if you have a partition on, let's say, /dev/sdb1 you want to mount. You can try sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/other_harddisk  (after having created that directory of course)
[10:41] <SyncopatedFoo1> what is a good terminal to use with openbox that i could do transparency on?
[10:42] <fdafda> gwork: it was spinning up, but then terminal crashed
[10:42] <bascule> SyncopatedFoo1: aterm
[10:42] <fdafda> gwork: it worked, I ran it from tty2 instead
[10:43] <fdafda> gwork: awesome job mate, thanks a million for the help, you saved my day..
[10:43] <maximilion> Hi guys :)
[10:43] <gwork> fdafda: your welcome, have fun!
[10:43] <fdafda> :)
[10:43] <SyncopatedFoo1> thanks, also, what's a good irc client to do the same?
[10:43] <bascule> irssi in the aterm
[10:43] <SyncopatedFoo1> again, thanks
[10:43] <bascule> welcome
[10:44] <tumbleweed__> bitchx is also nice

[10:44] <SaadS|AboutUs> hey guys can anyone help me with removing and reinstalling sound drivers?
[10:44] <bascule> stop and restart alsa
[10:44] <eckesicle> !alsa | SaadS|AboutUs
[10:44] <ubotu> SaadS|AboutUs: 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).

[10:48] <myclug-user> hi
[10:48] <metnumbox> hello everybody ! could someone tell me if the release date for hardy heron is already fixed please ?
[10:49] <maximilion> eckesicle: Someone should change that text. Lots of external card report "sound muted", crossed out volume control, etc. (Which is correct for those since they own volume control, no v.c. in Windows either.) Checking sound 'by double clicking v.c.' could lead to a lot of people with funtioning card will think it's buggy, like I did.
[10:49] <myclug-user> hi

[10:59] <Hadeshorn> and it has ended up with no login screen now
[10:59] <Hadeshorn> like if i press ctrl alt f1
[10:59] <maximilion> I did create a connection to it, but it keeps asking for password, and I don't know how to remove FTP connections
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> i can login with text there
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> i can hear the login sound as well
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> but cant see jack
[11:00] <Misel> !hu | Misel
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> ere4si: yes it has worked in the past
[11:00] <Muelli> Hadeshorn: If you get dropped down to a console try to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:00] <ere4si> any updates hades_?
[11:00] <bascule> dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> i have no idea ere4si
[11:00] <owl16> it's America?
[11:00] <Hadeshorn> i have tried reconfiguring the xserver-xorg.. no love
[11:01] <owl16> hey people
[11:01] <SyncopatedFoo1> can anyone point me in the direction of a decent howto for configuring aterm?
[11:01] <bascule> owl16: it's the internet, people from everywhere, this is the English speaking channel
[11:01] <gary4gar> maximilion, use any of the above mention client to login, simplest is type the address in nautilus
[11:01] <Hadeshorn> muelli: I TRIED doing that command but still nothing, it says starting display manager and nothing happens
[11:01] <weisskatz> hello everyone
[11:02] <Hadeshorn> i have reinstalled gdm, but still no love
[11:02] <Hadeshorn> the only info i can kinda get from it, is that it doesnt think a monitor is there
[11:02] <bascule> Hadeshorn: say X at a console, what are the last few line (no screens found I suspect)
[11:02] <TheLittlePrince> Does anybody know how to sync Palm PDA(Liefdrive)?
[11:03] <bascule> !palm | TheLittlePrince

[11:03] <ere4si> Hadeshorn, you may need to reinstall your graphics driver - did you take steps before to install it?
[11:03] <Hadeshorn> Bascule: i tried X and it says fatal server error, server is already active for display )
[11:03] <gary4gar> maximilion, open nautilus, type ftp://<hostname>  in address bar
[11:03] <Hadeshorn> ere4si, i have reinstalled the graphics driver. but what would you suggest?
[11:03] <zarnick__> hy all
[11:04] <bascule> Hadeshorn: try alt and arrow, cycle right round all the VTs, if so you need to delete the lock, I'll remember where that is in a minute
[11:04] <zarnick__> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on an AMD64, but It's freezing
[11:04] <Hadeshorn> bascule the lock ix /tmp/.X0-lock
[11:04] <bascule> Hadeshorn: yes, that one :)
[11:04] <zarnick__> it either freezes on the partitioning (formating) or after, if I make manual partition
[11:04] <SyncopatedFoo1> can anyone point me in the direction of a decent howto for configuring the look of aterm?
[11:04] <zarnick__> it's a 160Gb hardrive
[11:05] <bascule> Hadeshorn: could be that it is running on a different output, or thinks it is
[11:05] <ere4si> Hadeshorn, an update can sometimes mean reinstalling drivers - if you had to use restricted drivers before you may need to again.
[11:05] <Hadeshorn> bascule.. lemme reboot into GDM and try the alt arrow thing, maybe that will fix it
[11:05] <zarnick__> can anyone help?
[11:05] <bascule> Hadeshorn: fix it, well it really is to see if it's bound to another VT than F7
[11:06] <zarnick__> please?
[11:06] <opteroN> zarnick__,
[11:06] <maximilion> gary4gar: I'm trying to learn the system, not how to connect to any ftp server. I can do that in Firefox. I've used Places/Connect to server... to create an FTP connection. There's something wrong with it, since it keeps asking for password once a minute.
[11:07] <Hadeshorn> bascule, i am at the black gnome login screen and did the alt right thing, and no other screens are coming up
[11:07] <zarnick__> yes opteroN?
[11:07] <maximilion> How do I go to 'connections manager' or something and remove it and create a new?
[11:07] <opteroN> zarnick__, what is your problem
[11:07] <bascule> man X is so hard to support ... If I was there I would fix it
[11:07] <hend> hi, i am running 7.10. I can not get any tty consoles. Every time I try the screen goes blank and I can not even return to xwindows anymore. Only thing I can do then is reboot. This is a known bug (tho I read others can get back into X) and I have tried all the workarounds I could find (adding fbcon vesafb radeonfb) but nothing worked. Anyone know where I can look for some ideas?
[11:08] <gary4gar> maximilion, try gFTP
[11:08] <gary4gar> !gFTP | maximilion
[11:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:08] <bascule> !framebuffer
[11:08] <ubotu> Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[11:08] <bascule> hmm
[11:08] <zarnick__> opteroN, I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 on an AMD64, but if I use the default partitioning, it freezes when formating, and If I partition it manually it freezes after installing the system(ie, the install program crashes), it's a 160gb hd
[11:08] <ere4si> hend: is it 32 or 64 bit?
[11:08] <hend> 32bit
[11:09] <maximilion> Nobody here that knows about how to delete/create connections that appears in bookmarks? (Left pane of Nautilus)
[11:09] <Stonekeeper> hi. I have a crappy fakeraid promise controller. i want to use 3 disks in softraid. Can i setup an array on the fakeraid controller then use the disks for softraid? Or is that A Really Bad Idea (TM)?
[11:09] <opteroN> zarnick__, have you tried any other hard drives?
[11:09] <Hadeshorn> bascule, i remove the lock and go X again, and the black screen comes back
[11:09] <bascule> Hadeshorn: black screen?
[11:09] <zarnick__> opteroN, I don't have any other hard drives for testing
[11:10] <opteroN> zarnick__, do you have a thumb drive
[11:10] <Hadeshorn> bascule: as in the TTY disappears and all that appears is a black screen
[11:10] <zarnick__> opteroN, not right now, but I can get one I think, small one
[11:10] <bascule> no cursor? noo background, just a black screen
[11:10] <Hadeshorn> bascule and when I go CTRL, ALT F1 brings up the tty
[11:11] <Hadeshorn> bascule nothing, its just black like night
[11:11] <gary4gar> maximilion, connect the place where you want to bookmark & then Bookmarks > Add Bookmarks
[11:11] <opteroN> zarnick__, i was going to say run the installation off a thumb drive, sounds like it mayb a bad disk, or burn
[11:11] <bascule> Hadeshorn: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf change Driver in Device section to "vesa"
[11:11] <zarnick__> it's the livecd installation
[11:11] <zarnick__> do you think it could be the cd???
[11:12] <opteroN> zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ?
[11:12] <zarnick__> no
[11:12] <opteroN> or a burnt copy
[11:12] <zarnick__> I've downloaded and burned
[11:12] <zarnick__> from ubuntu
[11:12] <zarnick__> so...burnt copy
[11:12] <opteroN> try reburning the disc at a slower speed
[11:12] <zarnick__> hum...ok
[11:12] <zarnick__> let me grab another cd then
[11:12] <Hadeshorn> bascule: roger
[11:12] <zarnick__> I'll be back to tell how it went ;)
[11:12] <zarnick__> thanks
[11:12] <opteroN> k
[11:12] <bascule> Hadeshorn: try again, just X
[11:13] <zarnick__> this has to work
[11:13] <zarnick__> is my last cd
[11:13] <zarnick__> hehe
[11:13] <bascule> zarnick__: bur in at 8 or 16 speed
[11:13] <zarnick__> 16 is the smallest
[11:14] <Hadeshorn> bascule: changed the driver to vesa and rebooting now
[11:14] <bascule> don't need to reboot
[11:14] <zarnick__> burn in a dvd is out of question right?
[11:14] <bascule> zarnick__: I meant burn at a slower speed
[11:14] <bascule> but you can uses dvd if you like
[11:14] <Hadeshorn> bascule: its doing something
[11:15] <Belisarivs> I'd like to ask something. I and my friend bought same laptop. I use only Ubuntu, he uses Ubuntu and Win XP. When I (or he in Ubuntu) put external speaker into audio out integrated speakers in book don't turn off. But Whne my friend does so in Win XP, it does turn them off.
[11:15] <Belisarivs> How to fix it?
[11:15] <zarnick__> bascule, is on the smallest now
[11:15] <Hadeshorn> bascule: its got a green distortion at the top and the wait cursor is displayed, but then goes back to the black bootup screen
[11:15] <zarnick__> and data checking
[11:15] <bascule> Belisarivs: in power options, tell it to suspend on lid button
[11:16] <bascule> Hadeshorn: something is badly wrong
[11:16] <Hadeshorn> bascule: i will try booting up with the live cd and see if it that boots up
[11:16] <bascule> it will hopefully, not a hardware issue
[11:16] <Belisarivs> bascule: that message wasn't forme, was it?
[11:17] <Hadeshorn> bascule: is this too much of a fuckup to fix.. should i just reinstall ubuntu?
[11:17] <bascule> Belisarivs: yes, hence your name at the front of it :)
[11:17] <bascule> Hadeshorn: no, in live cd copy it's working xorg.conf to the installation one
[11:18] <Hadeshorn> bas ok
[11:18] <Belisarivs> bascule: but I don't have any issue with suspend on lid.
[11:18] <bascule> Belisarivs: it will turn the speakers off though
[11:18] <bascule> :)
[11:19] <Belisarivs> I still don't get it. What if I keep lid open. I wan't to use external speaker while watching movie.
[11:19] <zarnick> opteroN, it burned...now for checking....
[11:20] <bascule> Belisarivs: perhaps I misunderstood, the headphone port doesn't work?
[11:20] <Belisarivs> Nope.
[11:20] <Belisarivs> I want integrated speaker to be turned off when external speaker is put to audio out.
[11:21] <Belisarivs> It works in win, so I'm looking for way to make it working in Linux.
[11:21] <Belisarivs> I'd do google, but I have no Idea where to start
[11:21] <bascule> !alsa
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <bascule> there are a few to start with :)
[11:22] <zarnick> now....I'll be back :D
[11:22] <twoheadeddude> i screwd my dualboot.. i had to reinstall windows and now i can't boot linux, how to fix it ?
[11:22] <Belisarivs> thanks

[11:35] <zarnick> let me check if mkfs, if it's running shouldn't be freezed right?
[11:35] <Suicidal_Failure> Kubuntu_, help what?
[11:36] <pdowling> can anyone help me get compiz working with an ATi Radeon X1950 GT card running the current 'Restricted Driver' ?
[11:36] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. unmount your card.. "sudo umount /media/sda1" and remount it using "sudo mount -t fat /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[11:36] <Kubuntu_> my installation froze durin scanning mirror so i dc net now my drivers are not installed
[11:37] <Kubuntu_> no sound no graphics etc
[11:37] <SHMO> mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat'
[11:37] <SHMO> should i replace fat with msdos
[11:37] <bascule> vfat
[11:37] <Slart> SHMO: try vfat instead
[11:37] <Kubuntu_> ? anyone plz
[11:37] <zarnick> now gnome crashed....I'll try manual partitioning then...:2
[11:37] <zarnick> :@
[11:38] <billenium> How do i make say... /var/www/ be a target folder for like /USER$/Desktop/www? So everything i put in Desktop/www will be in /var/www???
[11:38] <Suicidal_Failure> Kubuntu_, join #kubuntu
[11:38] <Kubuntu_> they are not helping at all
[11:38] <Slart> billenium: man ln
[11:38] <billenium> thanks
[11:39] <Slart> billenium: I'm not screaming RTFM at you.. I just don't remember the syntax... you want a symbolic link
[11:40] <Slart> =)
[11:40] <maximilion> I want to Edit a Bookmark in Nautilus! How? (Verify and Change the path/address!)
[11:40] <billenium> ln /localtion /location/ worked
[11:40] <billenium> lol
[11:41] <Slart> billenium: ok.. you've created a hard link.. I'm not really sure what the difference is.. just so you know
[11:41] <Suicidal_Failure> hard links link inodes
[11:41] <billenium> oh crap
[11:41] <billenium> ...
[11:42] <SHMO> Slart, should i give the directory execute access?
[11:42] <SHMO> it's still not working
[11:42] <SHMO> i tried both vfat and msdos
[11:42] <Slart> SHMO: ok.. if you run "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/sda1" what does it say?
[11:43] <SHMO> nada
[11:43] <zarnick> ok
[11:43] <zarnick> opteroN, after doing a manual partition, it went on copying the files
[11:44] <zarnick> but after 22% of copying files, it mounted the partitions and crashed
[11:44] <zarnick> the installation program just crashed
[11:44] <SHMO> zarnick, did you defrag?
[11:44] <HangukMiguk> anyone direct me to a good howto for configuring conky?
[11:45] <zarnick> SHMO, it's brand new hd
[11:45] <zarnick> a brand new pc
[11:45] <SHMO> full format?
[11:45] <SHMO> or quick format
[11:45] <isaac> ls
[11:45] <zarnick> the default ubuntu install
[11:45] <zarnick> but I had to repartition the hd
[11:45] <zarnick> if it uses the full 160gb, it just freezes
[11:46] <SHMO> have you tried with 22% partitions?
[11:46] <zarnick> ?
[11:46] <zarnick> no
[11:46] <Slart> SHMO: I'm stumped again.. I don't know if this is due to something weird in your version of ubuntu..
[11:46] <zarnick> I've manually partitioned so it used only 50% of the HD(80Gb), and it went ok on formating
[11:46] <SHMO> Slart, yeah i just thought you might be an ol' schoo' h4x0r
[11:46] <zarnick> but when the install reaches 22%, it just exists
[11:46] <zarnick> mount the system and exists
[11:47] <Slart> SHMO: hehe.. I've only used ubuntu since edgy
[11:47] <opteroN> zarnick__, is it a official cd from ubuntu ?
[11:47] <Slart> SHMO: and debian before that.. but it seems hoary is a different beast
[11:47] <SHMO> Slart, is there any way i can burn a cd direct from ftp?
[11:47] <zarnick> opteroN, I've downloaded and burned
[11:47] <zarnick> again
[11:47] <opteroN> same thing
[11:47] <opteroN> ?
[11:47] <SHMO> yeah i toyed with debian too
[11:47] <zarnick> as you asked
[11:47] <SHMO> debian was my first love
[11:48] <zarnick> I think it wasn't a bad burn after all
[11:48] <Slart> SHMO: I don't think so.. you might look up some other distros... see if there is a smaller one that still works as a live cd
[11:48] <opteroN> might be a incompatibility issue
[11:48] <opteroN> have you tried the ubuntu forums
[11:48] <zarnick> but with what?
[11:48] <zarnick> no
[11:48] <opteroN> that specific hd? not sure i am pretty new to ubuntu myself
[11:48] <SHMO> does debian have a live cd?
[11:49] <SHMO> i know it used to have a live floppy
[11:49] <zarnick> hum...
[11:49] <zarnick> shouldn't be a hd problem
[11:49] <zarnick> let me try running the installation again....who knows?
[11:49] <rhineheart_m> hello. Has apache2 has its own IP address by default?
[11:49] <ere4si> HanguMiguk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky
[11:50] <SHMO> try 21% partitions zarnick
[11:50] <Suicidal_Failure> rhineheart_m, wtf,
[11:50] <Slart> SHMO: I don't know.. check their site
[11:50] <SHMO> then run the ubuntu equiv of norton scandisk
[11:50] <SHMO> Slart, right, this is an ubuntu room
[11:50] <rhineheart_m> what is WTF?
[11:50] <SHMO> wat da *uck
[11:51] <Suicidal_Failure> rhineheart_m,  you know what localhost is?
[11:51] <SHMO> i'd rather burn a copy of ubuntu live cd direct from ftp
[11:51] <SHMO> it can't be that hard to do
[11:51] <SHMO> my internet connection is fast enough to support 2x
[11:51] <zarnick> won't even start
[11:52] <zarnick> I'll try the OEM install as well
[11:52] <osfameron> worth burning fairly slowly -- I found that the shipped CDs were pretty much worthless
[11:52] <zarnick> SHMO, you say to use only 20% of 160GB?
[11:52] <SHMO> zarnick, yeah
[11:52] <zarnick> why?
[11:52] <zarnick> It formated ok
[11:52] <zarnick> with 50%
[11:52] <SHMO> just in case it IS a hdd problem
[11:52] <zarnick> a
[11:52] <zarnick> ok
[11:52] <FloodBot2> zarnick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:52] <SHMO> it might have found a bad sector
[11:52] <SHMO> that format didn't detect
[11:53] <zarnick> i c, ok, I'll try it, if it doesn't help, I can always use manual tools for formating it the real way and  wait for a week or two
[11:53] <rhineheart_m> WHen I set it up here...in my house its IP is 192.168.1.100. but when I transferred it to the network...I could not longer access it 192.168.1.100 but instead 192.168.1.9
[11:54] <SHMO> a week or two? shouldn't take less than 3 hours if you use an algorithm
[11:54] <SHMO> i mean if it takes 6 for me
[11:54] <SHMO> for a 320gb
[11:54] <Gemmers> greetings
[11:55] <Gemmers> I have a few concerns about installing GG on an iBook
[11:55] <simi> can i use packages from an older version of ubuntu? if i am using 8.04 can i get some package from 7.10?
[11:55] <SHMO> can i mount an ftp site?
[11:55] <Gemmers> I got a hand me down, but it's only 1.0GHz. it should run, but will it run comfortably?
[11:55] <SHMO> "Gemmers, 1.0GHz should be enough for anybody" -- Bill Gates
[11:56] <Gemmers> It's the 12in iBook, what do you think, will it run comfortably or splutter like an old Mitsubishi
[11:56] <Gemmers> I'm guessing I couldn't run gimp on it though :P
[11:56] <SHMO> with a ram upgrade you might
[11:56] <Gemmers> What I like about the iBook is the design but also the main thing is the battery lief
[11:57] <Gemmers> Does anyone forsee any problems?
[11:57] <Gemmers> Drivers etc?
[11:57] <Gemmers> it's not an intel chip or amd chip
[11:57] <SHMO> well debian was based on the older drivers more than the newer ones
[11:58] <SHMO> what kind then?
[11:58] <zarnick> SHMO, that was the problem, is going now :D If I do a full format of the rest, I can still put it on /home and /usr/local as new partitions right?
[11:58] <Gemmers> what was the G4, power pc chip
[11:58] <Gemmers> Yeah PowerPC G4 chip
[11:58] <SHMO> yeah but if it IS a hdd problem then you won't be able to mount all the remaining partitions, or, if you can, i wouldn't use them for sensitive data
[11:59] <zarnick> hum...shouldn't a full format take care of it?
[11:59] <SHMO> Gemmers, would OS X run on that?
[11:59] <Gemmers> Yeah apparently it's running OX x
[11:59] <SHMO> i'd keep the OS X if i were you
[11:59] <SHMO> but if you really love ubuntu
[12:00] <SHMO> then i'd try
[12:00] <sunseeker888> HI guys, I have installed a Pci wireless network card, where do i do to select thiis wireless options
[12:00] <SHMO> try and get the original OS X cd/dvd with it
[12:00] <Gemmers> Yeah all there
[12:00] <Gemmers> I don't really like the apple OS
[12:00] <sunseeker888> I booted the first time and ubuntu did not see wifi card
[12:01] <tot1> maybe you need to enable it by hand
[12:01] <metnumbox> for my wifi card i had to install the firmware by hand
[12:01] <sunseeker888> how to enable wifi card?
[12:02] <sweetsinse> the best way
[12:02] <SHMO> Slart, you still around?
[12:02] <Slart> yup
[12:02] <metnumbox> check the chipset of your card then google
[12:02] <Gemmers> SHMO do you think OS X is better than Ubuntu
[12:02] <SHMO> is it possible to mount an ftp directiroy
[12:03] <SHMO> no comment, Gemmers
[12:03] <Gemmers> Because to be honest, using both, I've preferred ubuntu
[12:03] <blackest> I have a scanner part of a multifunction printer I can scano  as root but as a user i get core dumps instead anyone know how to fix this?
[12:03] <Slart> SHMO: not that I know of.. I don't think ftp is really meant for random access
[12:03] <sunseeker888> metnumbox: i ordered a card for linux compatible
[12:03] <SHMO> so i would need execute access on an ftp?
[12:03] <metnumbox> you will find the firmware for your card on some specific sites
[12:04] <Gemmers> Am I just wasting my time, still 1.0GHz is really low
[12:04] <Slart> SHMO: seems there is something called fuseftp
[12:04] <metnumbox> even with some linux compatible cards you may need a firmware ! is it pcmcia or integrated
[12:05] <SHMO> can you give me the rpm link
[12:05] <Slart> SHMO: places->connect to server might do the trick
[12:05] <Slart> SHMO: what was way to easy =)
[12:05] <Slart> *that
[12:05] <rvalles> Gemmers: 1GHz is just a clock frequency; barely related to performance.
[12:05] <Gemmers> So what, ram is the more important figure
[12:05] <Gemmers> I think we can update it to a max of 640mb
[12:06] <Gemmers> I suppose I could find another 256MB DDR stick to join the other
[12:06] <pavi> fgh
[12:06] <sunseeker888> metn it's a wireless pci lan adapter,
[12:06] <Gemmers> But installing it on this PowerPC chip, is it more difficult than installing it on an intel or amd based machine
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: I'd say memory is more important.. gnome is a bit of a elephant... but try xubuntu
[12:07] <darknature> how do i find out how much video memory ubuntu is using?
[12:07] <Gemmers> Difference is only graphical right, basically more stripped down
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: I'm running xubuntu on a mini-itx motherboard.. I think it's 700Mhz or something
[12:07] <tzu3l> hello, anyone experiencing problems with debootstrap aswell?
[12:07] <Slart> Gemmers: same amount of software.. but the window-manager is smaller.. uses less memory etc
[12:07] <Gemmers> It's not so much asking whether I could run ubuntu on it, more so could I run ubuntu on the machine comfortably
[12:07] <blackest> Gemmers more ram is always nice. I prefer at least 512 my servers i prefer more 756 or a gig
[12:08] <Gemmers> know what I mean
[12:08] <sunseeker888> metnumber : /RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0, thta's the divers, but i am a newbie, i do not know how to install drivers
[12:08] <Slart> Gemmers: I'd say yes, if you skip compiz and such..
[12:08] <Gemmers> Well I use a windows based PC which is quite tough, but the idea of a funky laptop for uni with good battery life and not paying for software sounds like instant win
[12:09] <Gemmers> Compiz?
[12:09] <SHMO> Slart, can live cds burn cds?
[12:09] <SHMO> even if i have an external burner?
[12:09] <Gemmers> So I'll buy another stick of ram, but even then, cross fingers touch wood, I should expect much
[12:09] <Slart> Compiz=the cube.. the burning windows.. things zooming around in 3d
[12:09] <Gemmers> Oh I want that :P
[12:09] <DareDevill> how much speed (on an ircd) does 1 chat users consumes?
[12:09] <Slart> SHMO: I would think so.. depending on who made it of course..
[12:09] <blackest> Gemmers install system monitor to your top menu bar and monitor the swap usage. if your not really using the swop file you have enough ram
[12:10] <pdowling> Hello, can anyone help me get compiz working with an ATi Radeon X1950 GT card running the current 'Restricted Driver' ?
[12:10] <SHMO> LG - one of the biggest weapons manufacturers in its time made my burner
[12:10] <darknature> how do i find out how much video memory ubuntu is using?
[12:10] <pdowling> LG manufactures weapons?
[12:11] <SHMO> pdowling, they would deny it now
[12:11] <pdowling> SHMO: any evidence?
[12:11] <SHMO> pdowling, i'm sure there's some 'stamps' around on the black market...

[12:12] <SHMO> pdowling, i'm not at liberty to say

 LG - one of the biggest weapons manufacturers in its time made my burner | I heard lucky goldstar made weapons
[12:13] <Gemmers> Didn't believe it at first but wouldn't surprise me now
[12:13] <SHMO> i haven't heard of lucky goldstar
[12:13] <ubuntu_> hi how do i get rid of the grub bootloader
[12:13] <SHMO> which country are they from?
[12:13] <Gemmers> So SHMO have you heard of any issues using ubuntu on an ibook
[12:14] <Slart> otfu: cow?
[12:14] <Gemmers> Australia, Lucky Goldstar is LG's old name
[12:14] <ubuntu_> i had vista installed and now installed kubuntu but i wanna get rid of linux and just have vista how can i do this
[12:14] <SHMO> Gemmers, i haven't heard of any issues using os x on an ibook
[12:14] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, format boot partition
[12:14] <otfu> Slart referring to the unionfs file system and /proc/mount showing cow, yet it not actually existing
[12:14] <ubuntu_> format which boot partiton linux one.?
 Gemmers, i haven't heard of any issues using os x on an ibook | Trying not use os x :P,
[12:14] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, duh
[12:15] <ubuntu_> how do i go about this though
[12:15] <otfu> Slart ohh and this is probably only true when booting from the live cd
[12:15] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, read
[12:15] <Slart> otfu: ah.. was thinking about trying unionfs.. never got around to it though.. I have no idea why the cow is hiding
[12:15] <ubuntu_> read what
[12:15] <SHMO> Slart, how do i burn a cd through bash?
[12:15] <Slart> SHMO: hang on.. I had a link for that
[12:15] <no0tic> SHMO, wodim
[12:15] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, boot a live cd, then use fdisk, then format the partition
[12:15] <otfu> Slart mount does not show it either
[12:15] <ubuntu_> whats fdisk
[12:16] <ubuntu_> i am very new to linux sorry
[12:16] <Faust-C> ubuntu_, ok youre on your own from here
[12:16] <ubuntu_> please jst tell me
[12:16] <SHMO> or just put in the vista dvd and install it off boot
[12:16] <tzu3l> are the packages on nl.archive.ubuntu.com corrupted? my debootstrap seems to think so. any suggestions?
[12:16] <Faust-C> ausies dont know nothing
[12:17] <SHMO> wat
[12:17] <SHMO> what's wodim
[12:17] <ubuntu_> if i have deleted a partition without formattin it will it get rid of grub or i must formatt it
[12:17] <Faust-C> SHMO, https://wiki.penguinslair.org/index.php/Command_line_Burning
[12:18] <SHMO> ty Faust-C
[12:18] <otfu> the /mount/proc has three entries for cow, does this mean anything to anybody? trying to figure out why it is 'hidden' tmpfs /cow tmpfs rw,noatime 0 0              unionfs / unionfs rw,noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/rofs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0                  unionfs /dev/.static/dev unionfs rw,noatime,dirs=/cow=rw:/rofs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0
[12:18] <Faust-C> SHMO, well i see that he hasnt gotten back to you yet
[12:18] <zarnick> SHMO, if I run the /sbin/badblocks on the hardrive, and it shows no bad blocks, could the program be missinforming?
[12:18] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: Read more about Ubuntu and format the Vista partition instead
[12:18] <jesse__> ubuntu_: if you want to remove linux, boot into the Ubuntu livecd, run gparted and delete the partition (and the linux-swap partition if present), then resize windows to occupy the entire drive. once linux is gone, boot into your Windows installation CD and go to the recovery prompt, and issue the command FIXMBR.
[12:18] <SHMO> so Faust was a dictator right?
[12:19] <SHMO> or some kind of philosopher?
[12:19] <SHMO> rings a bell
[12:19] <Gemmers> SHMO Slart and others thanks for the help guys
[12:19] <Gemmers> I'll give it a try
[12:19] <Slart> SHMO: here you are... command line burning, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvdBurning
[12:19] <SHMO> cool Gemmers
[12:19] <Faust-C> SHMO, yeah, sold his soul for knowledge
[12:19] <Gemmers> but not sure it'll work
[12:19] <Slart> Gemmers: you're welcome
[12:19] <Gemmers> Will post results for others to see, the iBook isn't in best cond tho
[12:20] <ubuntu_> the vista cd does not have a recovery option u can only fresh install

[12:20] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: Try pressing F8 while booting Vista
[12:20] <SHMO> use cds or dvds or memory cards/sticks to backup
[12:21] <ubuntu_> now when i boot it says grub loader error and get nothing
[12:21] <b4l74z4r> has anyone noticed that opera has beefier fonts than firefox?
[12:21] <ubuntu_> since the partitions are gone
[12:21] <SHMO> font smoothing is a nice feature of opera
[12:21] <ikonia> beefier ?
[12:21] <otfu> i support piracy - now if only Britain had successfully wiped it out a hundred years ago.
[12:21] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: F8 during Vista boot will send you to a "restore window"
[12:21] <ikonia> !offtopic > otfu
[12:22] <ubuntu_> vista boot as in cd boot
[12:22] <b4l74z4r> the fonts are thicker
[12:22] <b4l74z4r> and clearer
[12:22] <SHMO> yes ubuntu_
[12:22] <ubuntu_> thanks
[12:22] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_ Did you just remove the partitions? Then try going in to the BIOS and boot  selector and choose the hard drice (c:\)
[12:22] <Jonathan_L> It may work to boot Vista
[12:22] <zofa> hi all
[12:23] <DigitalKitty> Say you were given these tools, a cat 5 lan connection, a laptop, no cd drive, and a 512 meg pendrive. Then say you wanted to play around with Compiz Fusion for the evening in a live envoirnment. What would you do?
[12:23] <Jonathan_L> Ubuntu_: But try the CD too
[12:23] <ubuntu_> thanks guys
[12:23] <DigitalKitty> are there any under 512 meg live distros around with fusion in them?
[12:23] <Pici> DigitalKitty: Try asking in ##linux or #compiz-fusion
[12:24] <Jonathan_L> DigitalKitty: What laptop OS?
[12:24] <ikonia> DigitalKitty compiz is hunrgy I don't adsise running it from a lice cd
[12:24] <ikonia> live cd even
[12:24] <DigitalKitty> oh, I was just looking to give it a shot, see if I like it
[12:24] <DigitalKitty> Thaks for your suggestion Pici
[12:26] <SHMO> Slart,
[12:26] <Slart> shmo, yes?
[12:26] <SHMO> i get this for dmesg
[12:26] <SHMO> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55720/
[12:27] <Slart> do you have an empty cd inthe drive?
[12:27] <SHMO> no
[12:27] <SHMO> should that make a difference?
[12:28] <SHMO> the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm
[12:28] <Slart> I don't know. .but it's complaining that it can't find block 0.. and without a cd in there that might not be very surprising
[12:28] <Slart> ah.. then.. well... I guess ubuntu doesn't like your cd-drive
[12:28] <SHMO> great
[12:29] <SHMO> well the ubuntu cd is in the drive atm
[12:29] <SHMO> and it booted from it fine
[12:29] <SHMO> will it burn from a live cd?
[12:30] <kyr> join #mixxx
[12:30] <alanbshepard70> The other day I came here to fix my ipod not mounting automatically when it's plugged in and not only is that still the case but I've discovered that CDs and floppies don't mount either. I can manually mount all these items but they fail to mount on their own as they used to. Does anyone have a fix?
[12:30] <Slart> I seem to recall something about it being hard to use the cd for anything else when you've booted off it
[12:30] <SHMO> Slart, but not impossible?
[12:31] <Slart> SHMO: I don't know.. I've never really tried myself
[12:32] <SHMO> worth the try

[12:32] <zoobox> where are the colors for ls in the command line window set?
[12:32] <zoobox> one of my directories here is listed with som kind of bluegrey (I think) against dark green.. completely impossible to se what it says. I wonder who have decided on these stupid colors.....
[12:33] <sweetsinse> whats a solid video editor
[12:33] <SHMO> select and copy zoobox
[12:33] <sweetsinse> !solid
[12:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about solid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:33] <zoobox> SHMO, what?
[12:33] <SHMO> select the directory that is blue/gray and copy it then paste it somewhere else to see what it says
[12:34] <SHMO> sorry
[12:34] <SHMO> that's probably not the answer you're looking for
[12:34] <SHMO> it's just that i'm about getting things done
[12:34]  * syc_ brb
[12:34]  * syc_ eh, off ding
[12:34] <zoobox> It must be possible to change so that ls dont fuck with the backgroundcolors, right?
[12:34] <zoobox> or at least use some color that is near the white background, like light yellow or something
[12:34] <SHMO> not about 'the right way'
[12:35] <RaDiO-Dj> hello
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ls colors are customizeable.. but ive never had to mess with them.
[12:36] <SHMO> what does ls -l give?
[12:36] <RaDiO-Dj> i need some help about x-chat
[12:36] <APIPA> testing testing
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> RaDiO-Dj,  You mean xchat and not xchat-gnome right? Ask the channel your question and see who answers.
[12:37] <Schmao-Fmao> Hey there.  Suppose I want to completely duplicate my Ubuntu operating system onto another hard disk (I'm swapping out a 250GB HD for a 500GB HD)
[12:37] <RaDiO-Dj> i canot see nick list
[12:37] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, so you want to ghost the network?
[12:37] <dgjones> !cloning | Schmao-Fmao
[12:37] <ubotu> Schmao-Fmao: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[12:37] <zoobox> SHMO: yes I am using ls -alF (and the folder with colros that is hard to read is a folder that starts with a  .)
[12:37] <RaDiO-Dj> i want to see it
[12:37] <kahrytan> Schmao-Fmao->  or just make a backup of ~/user
[12:38] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO and dgjones, I have lots of stuff on there that aren't packages and don't belong in /home :)
[12:38] <RaDiO-Dj> pffffff
[12:38] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, imho never use a huge hdd as a primary drive
[12:38] <Schmao-Fmao> I was thinking I would copy over the folders bin, etc, home, sbin, srv, var...
[12:38] <zoobox> (and yes, it whould be completely superugly to have to copy things from terminal to a texteditor just to be able to read them)
[12:38] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, ghost the drive if thats what you really wanna do
[12:39] <Schmao-Fmao> Ghost as in, the Norton program?
[12:39] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, as in sec lemme get link
[12:39] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, uhm, sure, why not
[12:39] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO: I don't know how many folders I should copy for it to constitute the entire operating system.  I know I can't copy over /boot, /dev, and /proc
[12:40] <Schmao-Fmao> and I can't use "dd" and "cat" because the hard disks are different size
[12:40] <chris062689> I love my EeePC :)
[12:40] <Faust-C> Schmao-Fmao, http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/
[12:40] <DareDevill> i want to setup an ircd. i alread have installed and done things. what protection will i need for it? ddos?
[12:40] <SHMO> Schmao-Fmao, maybe format a 250gb partition
[12:41] <SHMO> to the exact size of your old hd
[12:41] <Faust-C> DareDevill, fw, etcetc
[12:41] <DareDevill> Faust-C what?
[12:41] <sunseeker888_> Hi guys I am newbie, I have just downloaded this file rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz to my desktop. if i unpack the files where will the directory be created, do i need to specifcy a directory
[12:41] <Faust-C> DareDevill, fw, man basic stuff, read
[12:42] <SHMO> yeah man yeah
[12:42] <Schmao-Fmao> SHMO, that could work. :)  The OS and software shouldn't sit on the same partition as /home anyway
[12:42] <SHMO> man oh man

[12:48] <SHMO> yes
[12:49] <SHMO> err
[12:49] <SHMO> ubuntu
[12:49] <SHMO> not kubuntu
[12:49] <SHMO> what's kubuntu?
[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> You can mount manually, right?
[12:49] <craftyowl> kde version of ubuntu
[12:49] <SHMO> i can mount but can't write access
[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> Or is it a matter of convenience?
[12:49] <Pici> SHMO: Just Ubuntu with KDE
[12:49] <craftyowl> no it is telling me it cant mount them
[12:49] <SHMO> pastebin error msg craftyowl
[12:49] <Schmao-Fmao> are you using the command as sudo?
[12:50] <craftyowl> no just as me should I have to use sudo to mount them
[12:50] <Schmao-Fmao> yes
[12:50] <viktor> hi does anyone know the konsole command for nvidia driver install
[12:50] <Schmao-Fmao> And make sure to mount the partition, not the device :) as in: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 directory, NOT sudo mount /dev/sdb directory
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> install the nvidia-glx package with apt-get isntall viktor
[12:51] <viktor> huh?
[12:51] <erUSUL> viktor: sudo apt.get install nvidia-glx-new?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> viktor, of course it may vary depenidn on your exact video card.
[12:51] <erUSUL> viktor: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, or nvidia-glx-new
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Im pretty sure this is covered on the !nvidia facdoid page. :)
[12:51] <viktor>  dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[12:51] <craftyowl> ok will give it a try thanks Schmao-Famo
[12:51] <viktor> that is my error
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> viktor,  do like it says? run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:52] <griffi1> hi
[12:53] <dixo1> Is somebody using l7-filter userspace with kernel 2.6.20 or newer? I cannot find those options which should I enable in linux kernel options :\
[12:53] <griffi1> I need help with aireplay --arpreplay, anyone has tried ?
[12:53] <Schmao-Fmao> craftyowl: There's also an administration menu, I forget the name, which should enable you to mount USB drives automatically
[12:53] <viktor> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new i did that and culd not find pakage
[12:53] <SHMO> how do i login as root?
[12:53] <Faust-C> !nvidia | viktor
[12:53] <ubotu> viktor: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:53] <Schmao-Fmao> viktor: You may have to modify your sources.list file, because the nvidia-glx is not an open source driver
[12:54] <KI4CGP> Hi, how can I give non-admin users access to wireless on this laptop I share?
[12:55] <zoobox> hmm.. the only thing about colors in .bashrc I can see is     alias ls='ls --color=auto'   so I guess if I remove that I kick out the colorisation of ls completely. better whould be to have sane colors of course...
[12:55] <Lunar_Lamp> zoobox, what's your problem with the colours?
[12:56] <SHMO> it's hiding .file files with strange colours
[12:56] <hwdyki> where's the kernel fix?
[12:56] <Lunar_Lamp> hiding them with strange colours? Is this in an xterm or in a tty?
[12:57] <SHMO> zoobox?
[12:57] <jrib> zoobox: eval "`dircolors -b`"  is the interesting line.  See 'man dircolors'
[12:57] <zoobox> Lunar_Lamp: I want to change the colors ls use
[12:58] <hwdyki> no update?
[12:58] <Lunar_Lamp> zoobox, yes, is that in an xterm (e.g. gnome-terminal) or at the console screen?
[12:58] <zoobox> since ls change background color too for som ls-lines. to dark green!
[12:58] <sgt> hey, im trying to install Ubuntu but i get    hda:error code: 0x07 :/
[12:58] <zoobox> and I am using "Terminal" from the program-menu
[12:58] <SHMO> zoobox, type 'man dircolors' at terminal
[12:58] <Lunar_Lamp> zoobox, the default colours assume a black background iirc.
[12:59] <zoobox> jrib: ahh.. dircolors must be it. thanks!
[12:59] <Lunar_Lamp> zoobox, then try edit>current profile>colours (in gnome-terminal that you select)
[12:59] <SaadS|AboutUs> hello

[13:00] <sgt> hey, im trying to install Ubuntu but i get    hda:error code: 0x07 :/ anyone help
[13:00] <jrib> !root | SHMO
[13:00] <ubotu> SHMO: 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
[13:01] <SHMO> ty jrib
[13:01] <SHMO> i've lost the link for burning a cd via bash
[13:01] <SHMO> anyone help?
[13:02] <_sgt_> hey, im trying to install Ubuntu but i get    hda:error code: 0x07 :/ anyone help
[13:02] <echosystm> anyone know how to get a screenshot app running all the time?
[13:02] <echosystm> i am running xfce
[13:02] <Pici> SHMO: This was the link you were given before:  https://wiki.penguinslair.org/index.php/Command_line_Burning
[13:03] <echosystm> all i need to know is a name of a program which can bind print screen to take screenshot
[13:03] <echosystm> then i can load that in xdm
[13:03] <skold> I use a tiling windowmanager, so i get a brown background is there any way to change it to black (gutsy)?
[13:04] <Pici> echosystm: check this out: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_import.htm
[13:04] <SHMO> thx Pici
[13:05] <_sgt_> hey, im trying to install Ubuntu but i get    hda:error code: 0x07 :/ anyone help
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> skold,   theres dozens of little tools to set the background, xsetroot is one common one.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis>  xsetroot  -solid black
[13:08] <tom__> Sigh. Still having sound problems. I've installed the drivers for my card, and it's showing up, but even with the speakers on maximum volume, I can only hear sound from the speakers very faintly. Any suggestions?
[13:08] <echosystm> pici, how would i make a script that binds import to print screen?
[13:08] <skold> Dr_Willis: thanks
[13:09] <echosystm> or lets say alt+printscreen
[13:09] <Pici> echosystm: you should be able to run that from a tty and it should grab your x session.
[13:09] <echosystm> yeah, but what if i want to take a screenshot of my login manager? :P
[13:09] <echosystm> oh
[13:09] <echosystm> wait
[13:09] <echosystm> i see what youre saying
[13:10] <echosystm> well, i could do that, but due to the nvidia frambuffer bug, i cant get to tty
[13:10] <echosystm> haha
[13:10] <blackest> how do i add a user to a group?
[13:10] <echosystm> once i start x, thats it
[13:10] <echosystm> no tty for me
[13:10] <jrib> blackest: system -> administration -> users and groups
[13:10] <blackest> command line ?
[13:10] <jrib> blackest: sudo adduser USERNAME GROUP
[13:11] <blackest> brilliant thank you
[13:11] <craftyowl> Schmao-Fmao are you still on line
[13:13] <cheesypieces> guys, anyone have any ideas as to why when i've been on for a while my screen sort of flashes every so often?
[13:13] <KI4CGP> Hi, How do I allow a non-admin user access to wireless on the laptop?
[13:15] <abhishek> hi, can anyone tell me what this means " --> * set JAVAHOME to point to your JDK/JRE.", i have sun-java6-jdk,  sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre installed here
[13:16] <Pici> abhishek: I believe you can use sudo update-alternatives --config java to automagically config that
[13:16] <SaadS|AboutUs> hi how do i reinstall sound drivers from scratch?
[13:17] <Joetheodd> Hey, does anyone here play World of WarCraft with Wine? I'm having trouble setting it up.
[13:17] <SaadS|AboutUs> help
[13:17] <abhishek> Pici,           1    /usr/bin/gij-4.2         2    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
[13:17] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, I so
[13:17] <KI4CGP> do
[13:17] <abhishek> so i can use JAVAHOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java ?
[13:18] <abhishek> Pici
[13:18] <Joetheodd> K14CGP, I just installed vanilla WoW, then TBC, so I'm at 2.0.0. I try to run the patch, but it hangs at 19%. Any idea what's up with that?
[13:18] <Joetheodd> KI4CGP, I mean.
[13:19] <KI4CGP> I downloaded the patches off of another website and ran them separately
[13:19] <SHMO> what am i doing wrong?
[13:19] <SHMO> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ftp /media/test ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
[13:19] <SHMO> mount: mount point ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso does not exist
[13:19] <cheesypieces> guys, anyone have any ideas as to why when i've been on for a while my screen sort of flashes every so often?
[13:19] <Pici> abhishek: I mean use the utility to pick the new java6 version.
[13:19] <Joetheodd> KI4CGP, I copied the patch EXE's from my Windows box and did wine WoW-2.3.0-enUS-patch.exe -opengl
[13:19] <Pici> SHMO: you actually have to download the iso to mount it.
[13:19] <SHMO> the matrix has you, cheesypieces
[13:20] <abhishek> Pici, i just need the path, to set the JAVAHOME env variable
[13:20] <Pici> SHMO: What exactly are you trying to do?
[13:20] <compwiz18> is there a way to turn an iso file into a device /dev (like a pseudo cdrom drive?)
[13:20] <Joetheodd> KI4CGP, for some reason it didn't run at all without the opengl switch (*"wtf" look*)
[13:20] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, I don't remember the website, but installing the patches worked.  Then I disabled the splashscreen for wow so it wouldn't update automatically like taht
[13:20] <echosystm> cheesypieces: it could be your video card overheating
[13:20] <Pici> abhishek: I don't know then, sorry.
[13:20] <SHMO> Pici i'll tell you my situation
[13:20] <echosystm> does it happen when you have been playing games etc. ?
[13:20] <SHMO> my windows partition is damaged and i don't want to touch it
[13:20] <Joetheodd> KI4CPG, interesting. Well, I guess I'll give it another shot.
[13:20] <SaadS|AboutUs> need help with snd
[13:20] <dgjones> !sound | SaadS|AboutUs
[13:20] <ubotu> SaadS|AboutUs: 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
[13:20] <SHMO> i'm booting  off 5.04 ubuntu (hoary hedgehog)
[13:20] <cheesypieces> echosystm: i don't play games, just the internet and stuff. all non-intensive stuff
[13:20] <SHMO> libecd
[13:21] <SHMO> livecd
[13:21] <Pici> !enter | SHMO
[13:21] <ubotu> SHMO: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[13:21] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, Yeah, that does sound odd.  I used crossover office to install it
[13:21] <astro76> SHMO: you have the "device" and mount point in your mount command swapped
[13:21] <Joetheodd> SHMO, that's oldschool. I just used breezy yesterday :P
[13:21] <SHMO> Joetheodd, heh
[13:21] <HEP85> compwiz18: it is called loop device
[13:21] <Joetheodd> Does anyone know what version of wine is on gutsy's repositories?
[13:21] <echosystm> cheesypieces: so, you can use your computer without any problems for X hours/minutes, then it will just start happening all of a sudden?
[13:21] <echosystm> do you have compositing enabled?
[13:22] <cheesypieces> echosystm: i have no idea what you mean by compositing, but it sounds promising
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> !info wine
[13:22] <ubotu> wine (source: wine): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 33097 kB, installed size 103228 kB
[13:22] <SHMO> Pici, i can't access my memory card from a window to delete or drag an ftp file to it
[13:22] <craftyowl> how do i mount my usb drive I type sudo mount /dev/sdc1 but it tells me it cant find it in fstab
[13:22] <compwiz18> HEP85: thank you :) it's far easier to google when you know the word
[13:22] <SHMO> because i don't have access to the parent folder
[13:22] <Joetheodd> thank you dr_willis
[13:23] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, I'm using Hardy as well.  I was having trouble with the ATI drivers, so I dist-upgraded to Hardy to make that problem go away
[13:23] <echosystm> compositing is 3d effects in your window manager
[13:23] <cheesypieces> echosystm: yes i think so, it just sort of starts happening without me notice, then it'll get to a point where it just bugs the hell out of me
[13:23] <SHMO> so now i'm trying to burn a cd directly from the website because i don't have enough RAM to hold the latest iso image
[13:23] <echosystm> right
[13:23] <echosystm> well
[13:23] <abhishek> how do i see the list of environment variables ??
[13:23] <HEP85> compwiz18: no problem
[13:23] <echosystm> seeing as it doesnt happen straight away
[13:23] <cheesypieces> oh, yes i do use the 3d effects thing
[13:23] <echosystm> ok
[13:24] <echosystm> try disabling that first
[13:24] <KI4CGP> abhishek, export command will show them
[13:24] <echosystm> see how you go
[13:24] <cheesypieces> good thinking
[13:24] <cheesypieces> i'll try it
[13:24] <Joetheodd> KI4CGP, I'm using dapper drake right now. Dist-upgraded from breezy yesterday
[13:24] <Joetheodd> KI4CPG, I guess I'll dist-upgrade to gutsy and see if the new wine doesn't help. What's your wine ver? Mine is 0.9.9
[13:24] <KI4CGP> What video card are you using?
[13:25] <Pici> SHMO: I dont know if thats even possible... I need to run off to a meeting now, so good luck.  Sorry I couldnt be of more help.
[13:25] <Joetheodd> KI4CPG, until I get my PCI card set up properly, I'm using my intel integrated chipset
[13:25] <SHMO> ok thx Pici
[13:25] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, 0.9.54
[13:25] <compwiz18> also, I've somehow got Nautilus using my ~ directory as my desktop -- how do I change it back to the Desktop folder inside my home directory?
[13:25] <SHMO> has ANYONE been paying attention to my problem? i've been here for almost 12 hours
[13:26] <Tommck> So...if one wanted to install Gutsy Server and needed a disk controller driver, but has no access to a floppy drive.  How would one do that? :)
[13:26] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, Not sure how well that will support 3D rendering.  ATI is getting where you can get drivers, and nVidia seems to be the most convenient in linux
[13:26] <Sjimmie> Tommck: usbdisk? :)
[13:27] <linduxed> hey guys ive just started fiddling with timevault and i was wondering if theres any nice online storage servive that you can use as timevault backup directory?
[13:27] <Joetheodd> K14CGP, my non-integrated is a nvidea mx4000, but I'm just trying to get it installed properly now :P, baby steps
[13:27] <Tommck> Sjimmie - you mean install on a usb disk?
[13:27] <compwiz18> Tommck: I think theoretically you can put the image of a floppy disk on a usb disk, then trick the installer into thinking that it is actually a floppy disk.
[13:27] <Joetheodd> dang wisconsin.. I don't want to mess with ubuntu because my desktop is so far from my nice warm bed. lol
[13:28] <HEP85> compwiz18: 1. First, enter this code into a Terminal:
[13:28] <HEP85> sudo gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[13:28] <HEP85> 2. Look for this entry: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR. Make it like this: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
[13:28] <SHMO> how do i open a window as root?
[13:28] <compwiz18> SHMO: gksudo window-name
[13:28] <compwiz18> HEP85: great, thank you :)
[13:29] <_Oz_> Good morning, Ubuntu friends!
[13:29] <ArmedKing> _Oz_, Good afternoon dude!
[13:29] <brobostigon> _oz_: good afternoon
[13:29] <SHMO> compwiz18 it asks for the root password
[13:29] <SHMO> and i haven't set one
[13:30] <Pascal_1> hello
[13:30] <SHMO> and it says error code 1
[13:30] <KI4CGP> Joetheodd, Cool.  I have played Wow on a few different cards.  My lappy has ATI mobility, and it does poorly unless I turn off everything.  I have an ATI 9600XT that does slightly better but still needs everything turned down.  I just installed a nvidia 8800 GT and it screams with everything turned up
[13:30] <HEP85> compiz18: And don't forget to logoff and in again to make the new settings apply
[13:30] <compwiz18> HEP85: yep, I'll do that :)
[13:30] <Pascal_1> i'm trying auth-client-config and i dont understand everything, what is the way to dont use it ?
[13:30] <compwiz18> SHMO: try typing in your user password
[13:30] <SHMO> compwiz18, i don't have a user password, it's a live cd
[13:31] <compwiz18> SHMO: is it still the hoary livecd?
[13:31] <SHMO> yes
[13:31] <compwiz18> SHMO: no idea then
[13:31] <compwiz18> SHMO: although you could try just sudo windowname
[13:31] <compwiz18> or su then type windowname
[13:32] <mason> hello？
[13:32] <compwiz18> !hi | mason
[13:32] <ubotu> mason: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[13:32] <mason> i want to ask about WINE, which server i should connect to ???
[13:32] <rhineheart_m> has apache2 got default IP?
[13:32] <idefix> I would like to know how to set quota for my io-slave
[13:33] <brobostigon> mason: what do you mean??
[13:33] <dgjones> mason, #winehq on freenode is what I think you're asking about
[13:33] <SHMO> i give up
[13:33] <SHMO> i'm going to smoke a cigarette and go to bed
[13:34] <brobostigon> shmo: i must have  missed youre problem, what is it??
[13:34] <mason> thanks dgjones, how to connect to WINE?
[13:34] <mason> i'm newbie...
[13:34] <white_eagle> how to connect to my friends ubuntu box via vnc?
[13:34] <white_eagle> !vnc
[13:34] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[13:34] <dgjones> mason do you mean how to join the wine channel on irc? type "/join #winehq" in the freenode channel window without the quotes
[13:35] <white_eagle> thanks ubotu
[13:35] <white_eagle> ubotu thanks
[13:35] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[13:35] <Pascal_1> anybody could help about using auth-client-config
[13:36] <Tommck> compwiz18 really?  sounds interesting
[13:37] <mason> hi everybody~:)
[13:37] <mason>  i want to ask, how to update my WINE from 0.9.46 to 0.9.55??
[13:37] <mason>  i uninstall the 0.9.46, and then try to update 0.9.55, but the synaptic package showed is 0.9.46 version, how to fix this problem ??
[13:37] <mason>  hello?
[13:37] <Lunar_Lamp> I have a server with 2 network cards.  I believe that I can only guarentee that they will be assigned the same device name on each boot (e.g. eth0 and eth1) the same way around by using udev rules. Is this true? And how do I check and make sure that this will happen?
[13:39] <white_eagle> how to connect to my friends ubuntu box via vnc?
[13:39] <brobostigon> white_eagle: vnc remote-IP
[13:40] <white_eagle> brobostigon, what do you mean by that?
[13:40] <Stonekeeper> anyone used openvz on ubuntu here?
[13:40] <Tommck> compwiz18 - any pointers on how to fool it into thinking a usb drive is a floppy?
[13:40] <brobostigon> white_eagle: youre friend first needs a vnc server installed, and you need a vnc client, then you type into cli, vnc followed by his IP adress
[13:41] <gina> brosbostigon: i think on ubuntu has vnc installed
[13:41] <gina> u just enable that
[13:42] <KI4CGP> Anyone know how to allow non-admin users wireless access on a laptop?
[13:42] <Pici> white_eagle: Ubuntu's remote desktop can be connected using VNC.
[13:42] <otfu> does ubuntu 'mount over' /cow?
[13:42] <white_eagle> Pici, what should I type?
[13:42] <otfu> is that why i don't see /cow?
[13:43] <gina> white_eagle: just go to System > Preference > Remote desktop
[13:43] <otfu> in initrd scripts/casper has a mkdir -p /cow, but i don't see it after ubuntu has booted
[13:43] <Pici> white_eagle: I dont know, is remote desktop enabled on the remote computer? Are you going through a firewall?
[13:43] <Tommck> no, /cow 'jumps over' /moon
[13:43] <white_eagle> Pici, remote desktop is enabled
[13:43] <white_eagle> and I'm not going thru a firewall
[13:43] <otfu> Tommck- umm no idea what you mean. how can i expose cow again though?
[13:44] <Tommck> otfu - sorry... it was a joke... from a children's book
[13:44] <boris> hi
[13:44] <boris> how do i install .deb file from a command line ?
[13:44] <Pici> boris: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[13:44] <otfu> Tommck i figured that much... a joke i don't care for. hehe
[13:45] <fluxer> hi .. im getting errors trying to play sound?

[13:46] <sabayonuser> hi I installed sabayon and ubuntu, I want to have gentoos grub2 therefore I did not install ubuntu hardy grub.. now, can you tell me howto make ubuntu AND sabayon linux bootable again?
[13:46] <sabayonuser> It shows me just the option to boot sabayon linux..
[13:47] <otfu>  if one creates a directory /test, touch /test/tmp, mount /dev/sdx1 /test, and then wants access to /test/tmp it won't exist if you visit that directory, so how do i expose the original directory again?
[13:47] <sabayonuser> I dont know what to put into grub to make ubuntu
[13:47] <Pici> !grub > sabayonuser (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)

[13:50] <whalesalad> Hey guys, I am in the process of moving users from one server to another and want to know how I can restore their passwords. I added the users and extracted all their data from tarballs into their homedir's, now all I need to do is restore their passwords. Looks like the /etc/passwd file won't help me. Any way to do this?
[13:50] <dward526> jonnymac:  Try killsig firefox
[13:50] <Saelynh> hello
[13:51] <Pici> whalesalad: You probably want the /etc/shadow file.
[13:51] <Pici> jonnymac: or xkill then click on the firefox window
[13:52] <rhineheart_m> I got unknown hostname..
[13:52] <rhineheart_m> any idea?
[13:53] <jonnymac> xkill worked fine, thanks!!

[13:59] <echosystm> hey guys
[14:00] <sedra> hoho
[14:00] <echosystm> which is generally better - qemu or virtualbox?
[14:00] <echosystm> i need to run some vms
[14:00] <IndyGunFreak> !best | echosystm
[14:00] <ubotu> echosystm: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[14:00] <echosystm> i said "generally better" :P
[14:00] <echosystm> not best
[14:00] <IndyGunFreak> hey
[14:00] <echosystm> haha
[14:00] <sedra> qemu
[14:01] <jrib> echosystm: try both and see which you prefer.  Virtualbox has a nicer gui if you care about that.  qemu is slow unless you use kvm with it
[14:01] <echosystm> what is kvm?
[14:01] <echosystm> nevermind
[14:01] <sedra> vitual kernel
[14:01] <eMaX_> hi all
[14:01] <echosystm> it sounds too difficult

[14:04] <fluxer> does ubuntu have support for isa cards?
[14:04] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: i only have IDE drives, are you saying its not seeing your ide card?
[14:04] <IndyGunFreak> fluxer: you'll probably have to check the database what is it?.. a modem?

[14:05] <guid1> IndyGunFreak: i can install fron the live cd, but grub cannot start the system afterwards
[14:06] <guid1> but in the installer / partition tool, it only shows me sda devices
[14:06] <IndyGunFreak> so it doesn't show your hard drive there?
[14:06] <guid1> grub stops with error #15 when i try to boot
[14:07] <guid1> the files are copied correctly on HD
[14:07] <fluxer> thanks for the help
[14:07] <monkeyBox> Is there any easy way to set up CPAN on ubuntu without going through the millions of prompt questions?
[14:07] <monkeyBox> I have a perl script that I need to run, but it requires Net::Interface which apparently I don't have
[14:07] <otfu> how can i remount cow so that i see it?
[14:08] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: doesn't make much sense... you only have 1 hard drive?
[14:08] <Pici> otfu: I think you need to give some more detail, I dont think anyone knows what you are talking about.
[14:08] <guid1> i have two, but i want to install onto the first one ... both dribes are IDE, not SATA
[14:09] <cokiemonster> hi, i am spanish (my ingle isnt good) i make aparticion for 5 G. to install the wifislax... i put de cd live of wifislax and my notebook frozen in the instalation, whar is thhe problem????
[14:09] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: is windows on the other drive?
[14:09] <guid1> no, centos (RHEL)
[14:09] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[14:09] <otfu> ubuntu is hiding /cow on me. i don't see /cow with mount and /cow doesn't exist except for when i view /proc/mounts i get tmpfs /cow tmpfs rw,noatime 0 0
[14:10] <Pici> cokiemonster: This channel is only for Ubuntu, I suggest you try asking in #slax or ##linux
[14:10] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: i'm not sure what your prob would be, doesn't make much sense... maybe try adding an Ubuntu entry into your Centos boot manager...
[14:10] <IndyGunFreak> then just boot(lilo?) on Centos like normal.
[14:11] <cokiemonster> pici i have ubuntu.... and i have problem to insall programs, and problem with the particion
[14:11] <guid1> ok, i'll try --- the problem seems to be that gutsy gibbon has a kernel which treats all HD as SATA
[14:11] <Pici> cokiemonster: I thought you said it froze while installing Slax?
[14:11] <Pici> cokiemonster: We also have #ubuntu-es for spanish, that might be better for you.
[14:12] <cokiemonster> pici, the program is wifislax... and i dont lnow if i can install with lilo or grub inthe systeme of ubunto, or i must to install with the cdlive....

[14:12] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: well i don't thinkt hats the problem, as gutsy calls my hard drive on my desktop hda1
[14:12] <Varanger> I have created a xfs partition, and I need to make every user in the foo group to write the partition. I can only make root (and sudo) write the partition. What should I use? mount -t xfs /dev/device /media/mount_point -o XXX

[14:13] <erUSUL> Varanger: mkdir a folder on the parttiion and change the permissions of that folder
[14:13] <guid1> while i install from live cd, the installer / partition tool sees my IDE HD as SATA - copies the files, but cannot boot from is, because it's "sda" in grub - and installes on "hda"
[14:13] <erUSUL> Varanger: make as much folders as you need
[14:14] <IndyGunFreak> guid1: i really don't know, never encountered that issue.
[14:15] <Varanger> erUSUL: Does the xfs partition inherits the folder options? The mount point already has  the necessary permisions, but as soon as the partition is mounted, permissions are changed to root.root
[14:15] <guid1> IndyGunFreak: do you use SATA HD's ? case yes, you won't have the problem
[14:15] <Pici> guid1: Drives are always identified as sd?# in Ubuntu and hd(#,#) in grub, fyi.
[14:15] <Lukian> How do I reinitialise my sound system? I just rearranged my soundcards in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

[14:25] <HEP85> ADHDYoshi: You should use cp with the option -a This will preserve all permissions and file attributes
[14:25] <Varanger> euUSUL: I did what I want!. Thanks, I didn't know I can't fool xfs partition like ntfs ones

[14:26] <SaadS|AboutUs> IndyGunFreak, basically i applied  the recent kernel security patch after which the sound went crazy
[14:26] <Crusader_Tech> Hello all.  I'm a VERY new user to Ubuntu, and Linux in general. If someone has a moment, I could use a hand with an issue.

[14:28] <ADHDYoshi> OK then, I'll move my partition later today then
[14:29] <Crusader_Tech> Thanks bro.  I have recently discovered virtual computing, which made me think I could make the switch to Linux. I have just installed Virtualbox, and begun to setup a virtual windows machine. I've put in all of the information, but when I try to start the machine for the first time ( to install windows) I'm told I dont have permissions to write to the virtual machine directory.
[14:30] <SaadS|AboutUs> rebooting will be back.
[14:30] <brobostigon> Crusader_Tech: i dont kn ow anything about virtualbox, but it sounds like you need to change the permissions on that folder so that youre user can write to it??
[14:31] <Crusader_Tech> I might be in over my head then.  I'm still trying to grasp the Linux file structure.
[14:31] <IndyGunFreak> Crusader_Tech: why are you trying to grasp it?
[14:31] <oldred> hello everyone

[14:33] <Bodsda> hey guys, i have a problem with DownThemAll plugin for firefox, when trying to download a torrent it just downloads a link to the torrent, how do i use DTA to actually download the whole torrent file?
[14:33] <kaushal> hi
[14:33] <kaushal> when i do dpkg -l vim
[14:33] <kaushal> it shows headers and the relevant information
[14:33] <Dex-Freudii> what does it mean that "Ubuntu is community developed and commercially supported" as written in the CD's backcover?
[14:34] <kaushal> ii  vim                       7.0-164+1ubuntu7.2        Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
[14:34] <kaushal> what does ii means
[14:34] <Bodsda> !enter > kaushal       Please read the private message from ubotu
[14:34] <IndyGunFreak> Dex-Freudii: if you purchase support, its commercially supported.
[14:34] <_ruben> kaushal: it means vim's installed
[14:34] <Dex-Freudii> IndyGunFreak, is ubuntu really community developed?
[14:34] <Pici> kaushal: Installed.  check the headings at the top of the dpkg -l command
[14:34] <orochi_> Hello :> I'm currently experiencing a brute-force password attack against my open ssh port (verified by packet sniffing :>) What would be the correct iptables syntax to drop all packets from the host? Something like iptables -A INPUT -s x.x.x.x -j DROP would work?
[14:35] <Dex-Freudii> I wonder if ubuntu programmers get paid
[14:35] <_ruben> orochi_: yes
[14:35] <orochi_> _ruben, Great, thanks
[14:35] <Slart> Bodsda: is downthemall actually supposed to get torrents for you?
[14:35] <Pici> Dex-Freudii: Canonical employees get paid, but most of Ubuntu development is volunteer.
[14:35] <Crusader_Tech> One thing that interests me about Linux, is that I like new tech, and new ideas. The 6 month release cycle for Ubuntu, vs the 4+ year release cycle of Windows, gives Linux the ability to incorporate newer tech, like Compiz.
[14:35] <IndyGunFreak> exactly
[14:35] <Joetheodd> Pici, I'd lvoe that job :)
[14:35] <peterjone1> i didn't think downthemall was suitable for torrents
[14:36] <Jay955> i have ubuntu and samba installed... i have a secondary drive (disk) mounted and i would like to share that drive with the computers (xp) on my network what is the easies way of doing that ... pls note that i'm a newbe
[14:36] <Bodsda> Slart, hey its bod_  ,.,.,.dunno,. its a high speed download manager for firefox, so i assume so
[14:36] <avds> any news on the local exploit in linux kernel?
[14:36] <kaushal> Pici: Thanks
[14:36] <_Oz_> has anyone successfully installed OS X on an intel machine?
[14:36] <Joetheodd> Crusader_Tech: Yeah, and it doesn't take 3 years for everything to work properly with the new ubuntu :)
[14:36] <avds> it's been around since saturday

[14:36] <kaushal> I mean double ii
[14:36] <PriceChild> Pici, i don't think either of those channels will like it.
[14:37] <Slart> Bodsda: hi there.. I think it just downloads files.. if you can't configure it to automatically download and run certain files  I think you'll have to find something else
[14:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[14:37] <Joetheodd> Pici, it's not necessarily piracy.
[14:37] <Bodsda> Slart, damn,.,. do you no anything about  UseneXt?
[14:37] <Iori_1> Hi
[14:37] <Slart> Bodsda: nope.. what is it?
[14:37] <Crusader_Tech> I've been "looking" at Linux for years.  About once a year, I'd download the latest redhat or mandrake, and see what it looked like on my machine.  There was always some kind of issue that it didn't "just work".  Well, Ubuntu seems to just work.
[14:37] <ivze> Does anybody know, what about the kernel bug patch http://www.linux.org/news/2008/02/12/0003.html? The patch has been made in many other distributives. I worry about it, too slow.
[14:37] <SaadS|AboutUs> Ok so i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto but still sound doesnt work
[14:38] <Bodsda> Slart, dunno,.,.some kinda downloading thingy,.,.not sure,. anyway ty
[14:38] <Pici> ivze: Its being worked on.
[14:38] <Slart> Bodsda: check here.. says nothing about torrents.. just regular spidering and file downloading .. http://www.downthemall.net/howto/features/

[14:38] <Bodsda> ok ty
[14:38] <SaadS|AboutUs> the guide leaves me hanging... what to do if you have no sound, run dmesg and look for the string "snd_" ??? then what?

[14:38] <Dex-Freudii> what's the purpose of cpu frequency scaling?
[14:38] <avds> PriceChild, debian has a fix for some days, how come it takes so long? I'm kinda nervous, just waiting for a random user to try it...
[14:38] <erUSUL> Pendeta: read the fakeraidhowto
[14:38] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, in terminal type        asoundconf list             how many results?

[14:39] <Ares> hey guys, I've tried a million things with my wireless card Ralink RT2571WF and nothing seems to work fine
[14:39] <Pendeta> ubotu and erUSUL, thanks!
[14:39] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: to save power by underclocking the cpu when you're not using it
[14:39] <Joetheodd> Visual Basic is the root of all evil. Discuss?
[14:39] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, doen't it slow down the performance?
[14:39] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, you have no device recognized, capable of playing sound
[14:39] <Pici> !offtopic | Joetheodd discuss
[14:39] <ubotu> Joetheodd discuss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:39] <Crusader_Tech> I tried ubuntu 7.04, but flash and java wouldn't "just work".  But in 7.10, There's nothing to it.
[14:39] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: so if I leave my computer on over the night it becomes a 1.2 GHz Amd instead of a 2.4 GHz amd =)
[14:40] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: yes.. that's the whole point
[14:40] <SaadS|AboutUs> Bodsda, device was working, got lost after kernel security  upgrade
[14:40] <IndyGunFreak> Bodsda: yes he does, he has intelhda..
[14:40] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: but it clocks it right up when you need it to.. so it's only slower when the computer isn't doing anything
[14:40] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, what about        lspci | grep -i sound               or               lspci | grep -i media
[14:40] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, the thing is that I'm now using XChat and the cpu freq monitor says 800 MHz instead of 1.8 GHz
[14:40] <Dex-Freudii> Dex-Freudii, why is that?
[14:40] <Bodsda> IndyGunFreak, was this a discovery when i wasnt here?
[14:41] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, why is that?
[14:41] <IndyGunFreak> just a couple mnutes ago...
[14:41] <torc> Good moring everyone
[14:41] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: yes.. and what is your computer doing 99.9% of the time? waiting for you to hit another key.. do you want it to wait faster? sure.. disable the frequency thingy =)
[14:41] <brobostigon> Dex-Freudii: cpu scaling, powers the cpu down when it doesnt need the power to save electric.
[14:41] <Iori_1> Hi, anyone know why on my intel 82Q35 integratad video a the native resolution (1900x400) doesn't look well, is it an xorg bug or a monitor issue?
[14:41] <Crusader_Tech> Main reason I want Linux to "just work" is because when something doesn't work, I haven't the foggiest idea where to start.
[14:42] <Dex-Freudii> is it any good to disable cpu scaling?
[14:42] <Crusader_Tech> I can fix just about anything on a windows machine.  But I just feel lost on a Linux install.
[14:42] <Bodsda> IndyGunFreak, oopsy,.,. i wasnt really looking a couple of mins ago,. but nothing will play if   asoundconf list   shows nothing,. because asoundconf sets your default soundcard
[14:42] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: it won't do you much good.. and it will use more electricity.. and get warmer
[14:42] <Iori_1> Hi, anyone know why on my intel 82Q35 integratad video a the native resolution (1900x400) doesn't look well, is it an xorg bug or a monitor issue? Im using intel driver on Gusty
[14:42] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, I see... thank you
[14:42] <Pici> Iori_1: 1900x400 is a very strange resolution, are you sure thats correct?
[14:42] <Crusader_Tech> Admittedly I feel better seeing how helpful you all are in this chat room.
[14:43] <PriceChild> avds, I would be surprised if it isn't here before the end of the day.
[14:43] <Scofield> hola
[14:43] <Iori_1> yeah
[14:43] <Iori_1> in the other OS i use that (Windows)
[14:43] <Bodsda> Iori_1, wouldnt that res give you a rectangular screen?
[14:43] <Slart> Crusader_Tech: oh.. just wait until you really need the help.. then we'll ignore you ;)
[14:43] <Dex-Freudii> another question, I think my kernels loads a bunch of modules and "features" I don't really use. how can I change it? only by recompiling the kernel? how could I do that?
[14:43] <Iori_1> yeah its a panoramic monitor
[14:44] <Crusader_Tech> haha, thanks for the confidence boost, Slart.

[14:44] <Scofield> alguien de ubuntu-bolivia
[14:44] <PriceChild> Ares, that driver can be found in module-assistant. Use that.

[14:44] <Ares> what im i doing wrong
[14:45] <Crusader_Tech> I'm talking to you on it now, Slart.  I went in and installed Xchat, because it was the first IRC client I recognized the name of.  I haven't IRC'd in years.
[14:45] <Iori_1> there are black bars on the sides
[14:45] <Ares> PriceChild, what's module-assistant
[14:45] <PriceChild> Ares, sudo apt-get install module-assistant, then use that to compile, package, and install it easily
[14:45] <IndyGunFreak> later all...
[14:45] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: the kernel can have stuff compiled in.. that is always enabled.. taking space etc.. then there's modules. those are loaded when they are needed... I don't think the kernel loads modules it doesn't need.. you can see a list of loaded modules with "lsmod"
[14:45] <bazhang> cya
[14:45] <opteroN> can anyone tell me if there is a way to force anti aliasing on ubuntu, i am using compiz and the wobby window effect shows jagged edges pretty bad
[14:45] <johansja> I want to capture image using my webcam. What apps can I use?
[14:45] <Crusader_Tech> I'm thrilled, I've even got my desktop littered with Compiz eye candy.  Rotating cubes, melting windows, and such.
[14:45] <Bodsda> bye bazhang
[14:45] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, sry got d/c
[14:45] <Bodsda> np
[14:45] <test3r> hey u guys i got an ATI RAGE PRO AGP in this box. its got Ubuntu 7.10 up and going. I got NO direct rendering, and no drivers under Restricted. My question is- will I be able to get Compiz up and running without DirectRendering enabled ?????
[14:45] <Dex-Freudii> Slart,  so I mean then the compiled stuff
[14:45] <torc> When I attemp to boot my comp with the Ubuntu 7.10 CD and it will show the startup screen then do to a terminal style interface. Is this a bad CD?
[14:46] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, the commands you told me didnt return anything
[14:46] <Ares> PriceChild, how do i compile, package and install it? is there a wiki, or apt-get?
[14:46] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, should I recompile? how?
[14:46] <Slart> Crusader_Tech: ah... I must say irc is the easiest way to get support on ubuntu.. always lots of people here
[14:46] <opteroN> torc, you have to boot the live cd
[14:46] <leeping2008> Alternatively, when in the startup sequence does the "login" prompt appear?
[14:46] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, however lspci -v returns Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[14:46] <PriceChild> Ares, once installed, "sudo module-assistant", then navigate the gui to build it... pretty obvious when you see it.
[14:46] <bazhang> you leaving too Bodsda? I was saying bye to indygunfreak ;]
[14:46] <Hotboyz> hello all
[14:46] <erUSUL> !compile > Ares
[14:46] <opteroN> can anyone tell me if there is a way to force anti aliasing on ubuntu, i am using compiz and the wobby window effect shows jagged edges pretty bad
[14:46] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: what kind of computer are you running? old? slow? small?
[14:47] <Dex-Freudii> slart, not at all... Sempron 3500+ 1.8 GHz 1 GB RAM
[14:47] <Iori_1> bdsda can you help me?
[14:47] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, ok, so your machine thinks, it has no sound device, whatsoever,.,. the little picture of a speaker in the top right corner, right click it, then open volume control, then file, then change device,.,.how many devices,.(if any)
[14:47] <Dex-Freudii> but I'd like to know
[14:47] <torc> opteroN> I did so. chose the CD to boot from like I did with dapper.
[14:47] <Bodsda> bazhang, i thought you were leaving,.,.lol,.,. i was gonna leave but i think il stay for a bit,.,.;~)
[14:47] <Iori_1> i meant Bodsda
[14:47] <CarlFK> Marillat says " 1.0.6rc1 is the latest package on my repository." - what is the sources.list line for his repo?
[14:48] <jshriver> greetings
[14:48] <Bodsda> Iori_1, maybe,.whats the prob?
[14:48] <test3r> opteroN >>> anti-aliasing is traditionally a Font thing, but if you turned it on for the Windows themselfs, it would have to be at hardware OpenGL level probably thats the best i know, sry
[14:48] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: honestly.. I think I'd have a hard time seeing any difference if I recompiled my kernel.. I think it's more work than it's worth
[14:48] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, when it has a red x next to it when i double click it, i get No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[14:48] <test3r> does ne 1 know My anwser? :)
[14:48] <jshriver> where can you set an environment variable and have it apply to every user on the system including cron, apache
[14:48] <Kate_mins> what is the terminal command to search file in all folders ?
[14:48] <opteroN> test3r, were can i enable AA on the windows ?
[14:48] <CarlFK> Kate_mins: find
[14:48] <Pici> Kate_mins: find / -iname "something.ext"
[14:49] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, remove sound card and plug back in to see if its detected,.,.i cant suggest anything im afraid,.,.apart from undo whatever it was you did that broke it
[14:49] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, any idea where to get docs or howtos about that?
[14:49] <opteroN> torc, it sounds like you selected the option to do the terminal install there should be a menu selection when you first run the disk... you want to select go to live mode or something of that sort
[14:49] <Crusader_Tech> Slart, I'm interested in Linux for home AND for work.  I work at a k-12 private school. We recently upgraded 62 PC's to new Dell machines with Vista.  Vista is rather like a sloth on those machines.  We're getting away from our old "designed for windows 3.11" software, and mostly going with education web site subscriptions. That gets me away from windows only software.
[14:49] <test3r> opteroN > it would either b part of xorg.conf  in a setting itself, OR it would be in the settings window for Conpiz (the Python settings window?)
[14:49] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, its onboard :)
[14:49] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C make menuconfig; make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'.  Stop." How can I call 'menuconfig'?
[14:49] <Slart> Dex-Freudii: check the forums.. or the wiki.. or kernel.org, in that order
[14:49] <sub-esc> how well will vista run inside VMWare on Ubuntu 6.06?
[14:49] <Dex-Freudii> Slart, thnx
[14:49] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, can u help me uninstall everything sound related and reinstall just what is needed?
[14:49] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, what? onboard? that is so strange,.,. from the commands i ave you, assuming you typed them correctly,.,.your system thinks you have no sound device
[14:50] <test3r> here I'll ask my question again :
[14:50] <tcpdumpgod> hend, check your xserver configuration.
[14:50] <test3r> hey u guys i got an ATI RAGE PRO AGP in this box. its got Ubuntu 7.10 up and going. I got NO direct rendering, and no drivers under Restricted. My question is- will I be able to get Compiz up and running without DirectRendering enabled ?????
[14:50] <tcpdumpgod> oops
[14:50] <tcpdumpgod> way late.
[14:50] <hansderagon> Greetings.  I noticed that on 08.04 A4 that the hard drive is always being accessed.  Is there a command such as top, but which would indicate which process make most us of the drive, to pin point the culprit?
[14:50] <Tyczek> hi, i've got problem. Suspend is working perfectly even with ati... but I have problem with alsa after waking... it's not working... I compiled latest version.
[14:50] <Bodsda> !repeat | test3r
[14:50] <ubotu> test3r: 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
[14:50] <Slart> Crusader_Tech: mm.. I do some IT-work for a school too.. they just upgraded to vista too.. it's just not worth it.. but switching to linux isn't an option.. I can't be there to hold their hands all day
[14:50] <hansderagon> Tyczek, known bug.
[14:50] <tcpdumpgod> hansderagon, try iostat
[14:50] <tcpdumpgod> I think linux has that.
[14:50] <Slart> hansderagon: check atop
[14:50] <opteroN> test3r, i dont see anything in the compiz settings for AA, i am not to familar with any config files on ubuntu just came from xp
[14:50] <Tyczek> hansderagon, oh... I have to: tyczek@tyczek-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
[14:50] <hend> tcpdumpgod: what am I looking for there?
[14:50] <Crusader_Tech> I understand that.
[14:50] <test3r> my question was off screen
[14:51] <compwiz18> hansderagon: try #ubuntu+1 as that is the dedicated hardy channel (this channel is only for gutsy and lower)
[14:51] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, i dont know whats needed,. mine works almost OTB but just a few things needed,. yours needs to detect the device first
[14:51] <test3r> !aliasing
[14:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aliasing - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:51] <Bodsda> test3r, patience is a virtue
[14:51] <hansderagon>  Tyczek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/48536
[14:51] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, im avoiding a full reinstall thats all, obviously it worked on 7.10 before i tried that dreaded kernel patch
[14:52] <yohendry> #velug-cbo
[14:52] <torc> opteroN>>I only hit F8 and selected to boot from the CD drive, from there it boots the startup, then goes automaticly to the terminal screen. Also, it will print a ling string repeatedly. The termal prompt is "inframs".
[14:52] <KI4CGP> Hi, How do I allow a non-admin user access to wireless on the laptop?
[14:52] <opteroN> test3r, i read some were on the net that you can force AA throguh the nvidia control panel , but i am not sure were to locate it
[14:52] <test3r> Bodsda > im glad you have the patientce of ghandi but a simple "im thinking for you , tester" woulde be peachy then i know at least someone Saw my question. I just started helping people. Still nobody responded.
[14:52] <Bodsda> SaadS|AboutUs, can you install an older kernal?
[14:53] <Tyczek> hansderagon, thx... well I add alias to terminal ;]
[14:53] <SaadS|AboutUs_> Bodsda, dont know how to downgrade, i got a upgrade notification which i normally clicked on
[14:53] <opteroN> torc, did you try not pressing f8 and seeing were it goes
[14:53] <Bodsda> test3r, compiz will run with 3d hardware acceleration cards,.
[14:53] <Bodsda> !downgrade
[14:53] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[14:53] <torc> It gives me the option of dapper or XP
[14:53] <opteroN> torc, when i installed i did not have to press f8 it just booted to a selection menu
[14:53] <Bodsda> Guys, can you revert the kernal back to an older version, if a patch screwed it up?
[14:54] <test3r> Bodsda > yes I kn0ow. And I have a box that I have gotten it running on a GForce 2 Card with only 64MB video memory.
[14:54] <Ares> PriceChild, I click on "list installed (binary) packages" and its telling me, among other things --Binary Package(s) for kernel(s): + (2.6.22-14-generic): not found. Some packages could not be found
[14:54] <opteroN> torc, from there i selected boot ubunto from live cd and did the install from withing the OS
[14:54] <Xsss4hell>  hi can somebody help me setting up grub? for dual boot with ubuntu   and sabayon linux??
[14:54] <Xsss4hell> Sabayon's grub2 is  getting used
[14:54] <Xsss4hell>  and I run it currently
[14:54] <test3r> Bodsda > my question Really is- Would it run on something appears to have no support?
[14:55] <Bodsda> test3r, you just said you have it working??
[14:55] <loca|host> is there any guide to build or use a prepackaged application level (l7) firewall ? since a simple firewall over iptables is no more entreprise with growing P2P intelligent apps
[14:55] <Iori_1> Bodsda do you know if there is a fix for my problem?
[14:55] <Bodsda> Iori_1, what is the problem?
[14:55] <torc> opteroN>>>It opens to the option list and has dapper listed a few times and XP. No mention of 7.10
[14:55] <goodhabit> Hello. Can someone help with mouse confuguring? I cannot get all buttons working.
[14:55] <Iori_1> the problem is that i cant use the native res because the image appears shrinked with a black thik bar on each side
[14:56] <Iori_1> other res than that fills the screen
[14:56] <Bodsda> Iori_1, have you done a     dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg     ?
[14:56] <opteroN> torc, do you have you cd-rom set in the bios to your first boot device ?
[14:56] <test3r> Bodsda > im sorry i should have explained. Hi ! I'm test3r.  :) I have like, 10 boxes I've installed on since 6.06.  Some of them are finished. The one im working on Right Now has this ATI RAGE PRO AGP 2X inside of it. I have Ubuntu7.1 going. I just want to push it as much as I can because Ubuntu kicks butt.
[14:56] <Iori_1> yeah won't fix it
[14:56] <torc> I do not believe so.
[14:57] <Xsss4hell>  hi can somebody help me setting up grub? for dual boot with ubuntu   and sabayon linux?? only ubbuntu doesn't boot :(
[14:57] <Iori_1> im using intel 82Q45 intel  modstepping driver or something like thaht
[14:57] <patogen> "sudo dpkg -i  --force-architectur" is what I need to install i386 on x64 right?
[14:57] <patogen> err i386 = 32-bit
[14:57] <Bodsda> test3r, so you wanna no if compiz will work with that card? (thanks for the joliness)  :~)
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Xsss4hell: I take it sabayon went on last and did not setup the other OS like ubuntu does
[14:58] <Bodsda> Iori_1, not sure then im afraid
[14:58] <loca|host> anyone ?
[14:58] <loca|host> is there any guide to build or use a prepackaged application level (l7) firewall ? since a simple firewall over iptables is no more entreprise with growing P2P intelligent apps
[14:58] <Iori_1> ok thanks anyway
[14:58] <leeping2008> Hi everyone,
[14:58] <SaadS|AboutUs_> rebooting brb
[14:59] <Ares> PriceChild, I ran it and i'm still not being able to connect wirelessly
[14:59] <test3r> Bodsda > Exactly. And why I have no restriced Drivers available under the normal Spot (in the Admin menu or Setup menu) (up there) , and if I have no restriceds enabled, will it work? Als0 because I dont have a special driver for This Card, I do not have Direct Rendering enabled
[14:59] <Pendeta> Does dmraid support raid 0+1?
[14:59] <leeping2008> I'd like to custom-partition my HD: I'd like to put /opt on one partition, /var on another, etc etc.  Currently I have everything on one partition.  What's the best program for me to do this with?
[14:59] <ArmedKing> Hello guys and good afternoon, I'm experiencing some lag between voice and image wile playing my vids in Totem and Vlc anyone got a solution
[14:59] <Ares> PriceChild, I ran it and i'm still not being able to connect wirelessly
[14:59] <Slart> loca|host: I don't know of any firewalls for linux that isn't using iptables.. are there any?
[15:00] <test3r> Bodsda > rly al i want is to enable cube and disable the animation. so that i can use CtrlAlt arrow keys to switch desktops
[15:00] <Bodsda> test3r, if the card is working, and you can see stuff while using it,. why not try compiz,.,.the worst that will happen is an error message,.,.otherwise look at ubuntu community docs for getting drivers for graphics cards
[15:00] <opteroN> Ares, might be a weak gpu?
[15:00] <loca|host> Slart, me too, but am talking about a level7 firewalling
[15:00] <Ares> opteroN, whats a gpu?
[15:00] <Bodsda> test3r, yes u will almost certainly be able to do that
[15:00] <test3r> OK, shouldnt hurt, then?
[15:00] <Bodsda> no
[15:00] <test3r> sweet   =)
[15:00] <NoWanted> hello im new
[15:00] <Bodsda> ;~)
[15:00] <opteroN> Ares, graphics card (graphics processing unit)
[15:01] <test3r> thanks Bodsda
[15:01] <Slart> loca|host: application level?
[15:01] <opteroN> Ares, you have the drivers loaded ?
[15:01] <Bodsda> NoWanted, hi im Bodsda
[15:01] <NoWanted> what script is beautifull for irc ?
[15:01] <Ares> opteroN whats graphics have to do with wireless?
[15:01] <NoWanted> hello Bodsda :)
[15:01] <Bodsda> NoWanted, what can we do you for?
[15:01] <opteroN> you said you had lag when watching video ?
[15:01] <NoWanted> juste a beautiful graphique
[15:01] <Bodsda> opteroN, refrash rate?
[15:01] <ArmedKing> Yes i mean the audio and Vidio are not in sync
[15:01] <Ares> opteroN, i went to module-assistant
[15:01] <NoWanted> i use x chat now
[15:01] <loca|host> Slart, classiq iptables cant filter for packets, for example we cant block Skype traffic or msn when it passs through port 80
[15:01] <NoWanted> its not really nice
[15:01] <Bodsda> NoWanted, ood start
[15:02] <Bodsda> ok
[15:02] <Crusader_Tech> ok, so until I understand how to give myself more permissions to a certain directory, is there a way to give my self temporary "root" access system wide, while logged in as myself?
[15:02] <Ares> opteroN, it seemed straight forward, but then i again i could have messed someting up
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> leeping2008: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome  gives you the basics
[15:02] <Bodsda> NoWanted, so you want something else?
[15:02] <opteroN> Ares, im not saying it is your gpu, but that might be a problem
[15:02]  * test3r really likes XChat, but the new Pidgin that comes with *BUNTU is very nice.
[15:02] <NoWanted> do u know how i can see my system info on the console ?
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Crusader_Tech: sudo or gksudo for gui apps
[15:02]  * Bodsda doesnt like pidgin,.,.filthy creatures
[15:02] <opteroN> NoWanted, do you mean in terminal ?
[15:02] <Bodsda> NoWanted, what do you mean by SystemInfo?
[15:02] <Slart> loca|host: perhaps some kind of transparent proxy would work.. but I'm just guessing here... sounds like you need to find someone who knows about these things.. regardless of operating system.. aren't there any channels for network admins?
[15:02] <ArmedKing> opteroN, Yes Audio and Video are not syncronized in any vid.
[15:03] <Ares> opteroN, how could that be a problem? The graphics card is integrated (cheap)
[15:03] <leeping2008> Jack_Sparrow, thanks again :)
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:03] <NoWanted> opteroN yes
[15:03] <Crusader_Tech> Thanks Jack, but not to sound like a total rookie, exactly how do I do that?
[15:03] <opteroN> Ares, that very well maybe the problem then
[15:03] <Ares> OpteroN, i think it's by intel
[15:03] <Arelis> How do i reset all the GNOME configurations? It's become very messy, and the panels are acting weird, and i'm getting a strange message when i enter (always happens after i install XGL and then disable it.)
[15:03] <loca|host> Slart, am guessing :)
[15:03] <Arelis> Or, rather, i ordered the panels so that i can't find my way
[15:03] <opteroN> NoWanted, do a google search for "ubuntu terminal cheat sheet"
[15:03] <Ares> opteroN, i was using other drivers for em and it was connecting me, but would disconnect after 5 mins, and i'd have to restart comp a bunch of times
[15:04] <Bodsda> NoWanted, what do you mean by system info?
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Crusader_Tech: Lets say you want to edit a doc..  go to a terminal aka cli  and type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  the last is just a path and filename to a file you will edit at some point in time
[15:04] <Bodsda> opteroN, really? cool stuff to do in terminal?  wow
[15:04] <NoWanted> sys info , i can do that on the terminal on mandriva
[15:04] <tzd> can anyone help me with a separate partition for my home folder please?
[15:04] <opteroN> Ares, did you load diff drivers? what have you changed?
[15:04] <Ares> opteroN, and if it is, how can i solve that?
[15:04] <test3r> ifconfig
[15:04] <test3r> ;p
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome  gives you the basics
[15:05] <Ares> opteroN, i have tried many things, so my head is spinning from all the different stuff on line
[15:05] <Bodsda> test3r, who was that directed to?
[15:05] <Bodsda> does compiz work?
[15:05] <test3r> the cool stuff in terminal discussers
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd:  see also  /msg ubotu uuid
[15:05] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow:  thanks, the issue i've got though is after the partition. I've got my separate partition working but now all kind of weird stuff happens
[15:05] <Ares> opteroN, the latest i've done is gone to module-assistant and loaded the rt2570 drivers...my chip is 2572
[15:06] <opteroN> Ares, so you are playin back audio and video and they are out of sync ? are you streaming or is it local ?
[15:06] <test3r> technically, if its rly cool tho, ud b using iwconfig too
[15:06] <Ares> opteroN, my problem is that i can't connect wirelessly
[15:06] <test3r> thats all we need to go with that
[15:06] <Bodsda> test3r, thats for wifi networkin,.,.,.?
[15:06] <test3r> yes or even "bridging" connections for wifi
[15:06] <Dex-Freudii> what's the diff between acpid & apmd services?
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: Post your fstab to the pastebin along with  the output from sudo fdisk -l   for us please
[15:06] <opteroN> Ares, were you not stating that you were having issues with audio and video stutter or did i get you mixed up with someone else
[15:07] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: will do! thanks!
[15:07] <Ares> opteroN, you got me mixed :-p
[15:07] <Bodsda> test3r, ok,.,.its a bit useless if im ethernet tho?
[15:07] <test3r> setting up Two interfaces gives u ability to create a "bridge" for folks
[15:07] <test3r> not always useless. depends ur situation
[15:07] <DivineSpectrum> if i use ubuntu like admin, is egual to use it like root?
[15:07] <opteroN> Ares, what wireless device do you have, integrated?
[15:07] <Ares> yes
[15:08] <Ares> opteroN, yes
[15:08]  * Bodsda goes back to hefty python book
[15:08] <Ares> opteroN, the chipset is a Ralink RT 2571WF
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> DivineSpectrum: yes and no
[15:08] <opteroN> Ares, did it work upon first installation
[15:08] <Ares> opteroN, no
[15:08] <DivineSpectrum> jack_sparrow..??
[15:09] <test3r> Bodsda > I edited & improved a python script i found involving my iwconfig for connections
[15:09] <Ares> opteroN, i changed it to another driver and it would connect, but throw me offline in about 5 mins or less, and sometimes not work at all. When it disconnected me i would have to restart computer
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> DivineSpectrum: admin has admin rights, but does not automatically give you root user rights to all system files
[15:09] <meng> is there a respin install image?
[15:09] <Ares> opteroN, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart would not work
[15:09] <test3r> the guy had two loops in it could Not see the reason so i took one out and changed some other. works gr8.
[15:10] <kaoticsnow> anyone else have an issue with the latest version of the Desktop version of Ubuntu not fitting on a CD?
[15:10] <Bodsda> test3r, the script originally did what? you improvements did what? im a beginner, reading a 400 page manual
[15:10] <Ares> opteroN, and ifconfig wlan0 up would give input/output error
[15:10] <test3r> bonsda > ^^^^
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> kaoticsnow: only when you try to write it as dat and not an image
[15:10] <opteroN> Ares, http://www.sparklan.com/download.php?support_id=27
[15:10] <Ares> opteroN, now i don't get any wireless at all
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> data

[15:11] <Pendeta> Is this still true: "APT (the package manager for Ubuntu), currently does not support BiArch, which means you likely won't be able to install and run 32bit packages on your AMD64 install. This is a problem for users who wish to use Flash, w32 codecs, and WINE (for example), as they are only available for 32-bit."
[15:11] <hansderagon> kaoticsnow, 08.04 A4 fits on a CD.  I did it, at least the alternative CD.

[15:14] <Bodsda> damn you bazhang
[15:14] <bazhang> hehe
[15:14] <opteroN> torc, sure
[15:15] <test3r> Well im off to try to enable cOMPIZ on a 4MB Video card. Good Luck to you all! ill bb soon hopefully
[15:15] <alecs> hi! how can enable kirilic fonts to be supported by my filesystem ?
[15:15] <Bodsda> test3r, lemme no how it goes
[15:15] <Crusader_Tech> is there a general command to increase the font in an application?
[15:15] <bazhang> aptoncd meng not quite the same but nearest you can get
[15:15] <test3r> no doubt =D
[15:15] <hiffy> hey folks! So, my "desktop effects" flutter out and say that they are not supported on my system. However, I hand rolled compiz back on edgy on the same hardware and it worked fine. Any clue as to what packages I need to hunt for, or common xorg.conf settings?
[15:15] <bazhang> alecs install the russian language support pack
[15:16] <hiffy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager I'm not sure this still applies.
[15:16] <riotkittie> hiffy: what graphics card do you have?  an ati by any chance?
[15:16] <Ares> opteroN, where are the directions for installing it?
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: Sorry that took a minute.. I dont see a /home in your fstab.. which partition are you trying to use as home
[15:16] <hiffy> riotkittie: nope! good, old nvidia geforce 2
[15:16] <Ares> opteroN, and shouldn't module-assistant work?
[15:16] <chris062689> Hello.
 because i keep having the ttf-opensymbol bug everytime i fresh install ubuntu
[15:16] <bazhang> Crusader_Tech: likely check the app--in open office or firefox for example
[15:17] <chris062689> Anyone know how to slim EeeXubuntu even more?
[15:17] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: no worries. It's at the end. I'm trying to use the sda8 as home partition
[15:17] <Crusader_Tech> bazhang, it's Virtualbox.  Not sure there's a setting for it in there.
[15:17] <riotkittie> hiffy: ah, i'm clueless when it comes to nvidia, sorry
[15:17] <bazhang> #eeepc will likely help chris062689
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: one sec  again
[15:17] <hiffy> :P thanks tho!
[15:17] <Crusader_Tech> gonna try reinstalling it real quick
[15:17] <Bodsda> riotkittie, there is restricted drivers for Nvidia cards in the Restricted drivers manager
[15:18] <bazhang> Crusader_Tech: likely will work, unless you mean the fonts in virtualbox itself
[15:18] <Ares> opteroN, both pdf guides are for Windoze
[15:18] <Crusader_Tech> I mean the main screen for configuring virtualbox
[15:18] <Bodsda> hiffy, read my message a few lines up,. i sent it to riotkittie by accident
[15:19] <bazhang> Crusader_Tech:  #vbox can likely answer that better
[15:19] <hiffy> ah! Bodsda, yeah those got installed. nvidia in the driver section of xorg.conf, etc.
[15:19] <riotkittie> hiffy: does nvidia require XGL or whatever? do you have that installed?
[15:19] <Crusader_Tech> it's own room?  Perfect!
[15:19] <Bodsda> riotkittie, Nvidia cards are extremely well supported,. most work OTB
[15:19] <riotkittie> try launching compiz from the CLI and seeing if it spits out a more substantive error there.
[15:20] <bazhang> riotkittie: do not remember having to install it myself though may be different for this user
[15:20] <Bodsda> bazhang, Nvidia make there own linux drivers,.no?
[15:20] <bazhang> aye Bodsda
[15:20] <Tiven> im getting lag spikes sometimes with my usb wireless mouse , usually when browsing websites with Firefox
[15:21] <Bodsda> bazhang, just wondering,.,. ty ;~)
[15:21] <Tiven> like the  mouse stucks for: from 10ms to 200ms
[15:21] <riotkittie> was this an upgrade? or a clean install? if it was an upgrade you might try removing all evidence of compiz and reinstalling.
[15:21] <Bodsda> hiffy, whats the exact error message you get?
[15:21] <bazhang> would that be irqpoll in the boot parameters for the mouse lag? I keep forgetting ;[
[15:22] <meng> is there a ttf-opensymbol bug free CD that i can download?
[15:22] <bazhang> meng this is in gutsy? not heard of that bug
[15:22] <meng> it's in gutsy
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: I seem to be having a problem with firefox...  gimme a minute and explain what type of problems you are having
[15:23] <Tiven> what do you mean bazhang ? ^_^
gutsy bug
[15:23] <Bodsda> meng, sure its a bug, not just a problem?
[15:23] <meng> it's a bug
[15:23] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, whats your firefox problem?
[15:23] <meng> having to "touch" almost all the font folders
[15:23] <Bodsda> meng, link to a bug report?
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> firefox is lagging..   brb
[15:24] <bazhang> Tiven: if it is the mouse then it should be laggy with not just firefox though--would this be on *flash* sites with firefox?
[15:24] <Bodsda> bazhang, that would prob be flash & java related if its only on firefox
[15:24] <bazhang> tiven such as youtube
[15:24] <Tiven> hmm
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/144771
[15:24] <bazhang> Bodsda: just what I was thinking
[15:25] <Tiven> bazhang: no i dont think so. i think it usually happens when i have a lot of tabs open ( on firefox ) or many apps running ( it doesnt happen only with firefox )
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: Please provide that link to the pastebin again. thanks
[15:25] <bazhang> tiven how many tabs? more than 20? how much ram on this machine?
[15:26] <Bodsda> meng, do this                  sudo apt-get install locales
[15:26] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.pastebin.org/19242
[15:26] <Tiven> bazhang: it just happened while hovering one of my bars' icon and im only running konversation irc client at the moment :(
[15:26] <Tiven> bazhang: 2gb ram , with firefox it happens with 5 or 7 + tabs
[15:26] <bullgard4> In what directory is Ubuntu's 7.10 kernel source?
i borked the system throughly by other methods suggested by people
[15:27] <hiffy> er, sorry Bodsda spaced out for a sec. When I enabled "desktop effects" everything flickers for a bit, presumably trying to change WMs, and  Desktop effects could not be enabled
[15:27] <hiffy> appears on my screen.
[15:27] <Tiven> oh no... it happened again with just moving my mouse randomly bazhang : (
[15:27] <Bodsda> Tiven, in terminal type     top     how much cpu freq is the client using?
[15:27] <meng> so looks like a reinstall for the 3rd time
[15:27] <bazhang> tiven ah ok, then it it something you may need to adjust in the boot parameters--irqpoll if I recall correctly though cant remember the precise command at the moment
[15:27] <hernandus> hey
[15:27] <patogen> No package 'glib-2.0' found

[15:28] <Tiven> thank you buddie
[15:28] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: Jack_Sparrow: ok. The issues i have occured after i tried moving my home folder and I also tried moving the /usr & /var folders to their own partitions. The issues so far are: flash player refuse to work in Firefox. I've reinstalled it several times and it works until i restart. After a restart it says it's installed although all websites comes up empty. I seem to be unable to run commands in the bourne shell as well. i usually get
[15:28] <tzd> permission denied when trying to do so. E.g. i am unable to run the flash installer when i download it manually. I also have issues with my amarok scripts that won't show up any more and when trying to reinstall them in amarok it says they're already installed.

[15:42] <Tobias92> Hello ubuntu people. All the icons in openoffice vanished and removing it with --purge and installing again doesn't work. I'm on xubuntu gutsy (just switched). Is there a fix for this?
[15:42] <novato_br> okay, Bodsda , i'll try it
[15:42] <Le-Chuck_IT1> hi all
[15:43] <ubuntufreak> problem with apt-get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55743/
[15:43] <Bodsda> novato_br, thankyou
[15:43] <Le-Chuck_IT1> do you know of a daap client that can seek songs? I am happily running firefly and would like to seek, and just discovered that itunes can do that
[15:43] <bazhang> http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu_gutsy_gibbon_p4 renato_br there is an example here though you will need to change if for that repo naturally ;]
[15:43] <test3r> Bodsda > see it's auto-on ! "intitiate" under actions is already set to the CtrlAlt Mouse1
[15:44] <sebrock> If I want to do a TAR backkup on my whole system starting at root, which directories are safe (or should I) to exclude??
[15:44] <test3r> Bodsda > but when i do it it only selects in group selection box ontop of the desktop
[15:44] <Bodsda> ubuntufreak,  grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory           create the dir?
[15:44] <doppelgaenger> Hello, can anyone tell me when the newrelease snaptshot after Feisty (7.10) will be released and how it is called, Thanks !
[15:44] <test3r> do i have to install emerald for that to work?
[15:44] <Le-Chuck_IT1> Bodsda: ubuntufreak no it's not a dir
[15:44] <Le-Chuck_IT1> its  a file which ubuntu does no longer use
[15:44] <Bodsda> test3r, can you be sure compiz is running?
[15:45] <Bodsda> Le-Chuck_IT1, thankyou
[15:45] <lut4rp> doppelgaenger: the next release is Hardy Heron (8.04)
[15:45] <test3r> oh, i think it is. here. let me 'top'
[15:45] <Bodsda> ubuntufreak, dont listen to me
[15:45] <Le-Chuck_IT1> ubuntufreak: I suggest to search on launchpad
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: Working a bit better now  I see 0,0  for home and not 0 , 2
[15:45] <Le-Chuck_IT1> for an open bug
[15:45] <bazhang> doppelgaenger: 7.10 is gutsy--there are alphas of 8.04 now you can try--see #ubuntu+1
[15:45] <lut4rp> doppelgaenger: Expect it around April end
[15:45] <Le-Chuck_IT1> nobody knows of a  seeking linux daap (itunes) client?
[15:45] <doppelgaenger> lut4rp, Many Thanks !
[15:46] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: that's correct. I wasn't sure what to put there :) So i should change it to 0 2?
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: I also do not see where you have mounted the /var and /user or whatever you had?
[15:46] <ubuntufreak> Bodsda,Le-Chuck_IT1: Thanx would try
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: You really should have read the link I gave you earlier
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: make a backup and try it at 2
[15:46] <test3r> Bodsda > lol, you're Right! 'compiz_real' is not running. so OK what was that last step- to switch the WM?
[15:46] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: the /var /usr were on two different partitions that's now deleted
[15:47] <test3r> session switch on login?
[15:47] <bazhang> fight for chan privileges
[15:47] <Ares> ok so apparently i'm not registering my nickname correctly and freenode is not helping me
[15:47] <Tiven> hey bazhang , no i dont think it happens with the wired mouse
[15:47] <Tiven> its usb as well
[15:47] <bazhang> !register | ares
[15:47] <ubotu> ares: 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

[15:47] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow:  i'm quite sure i had a look on that site as well when i tried... read 3-4 different howto's before i managed to get it working ;)
[15:47] <Tiven> but... oh well i didnt notice mouse lag with the wireless either since i connected the wired one -  bazhang
[15:48] <test3r> ill figure it out. thanks man =D i thought it was brokez
[15:48] <bazhang> Tiven: so it is something with the wireless mouse? the wired usb mouse works?
[15:48] <idefix> please help me, I need to know about io-slave quota, who knows stuff about this and can give me a cool link?
[15:48] <Tiven> bazhang: its really weird , since i connected the wired i didnt get any lags at all... neither with the wireless
[15:48] <Bodsda> test3r, System-->pref-->appearence-->effects tab-->custom option
[15:48] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: what does the "2" mean?
[15:48] <bazhang> idefix: that is a really obscure question; is this your first stop for info?
[15:48] <nosaj> can some one help me with getting some of the hardware in my laptop to be known it knows some of them
[15:49] <bazhang> Tiven: that is odd--though a nifty workaround ;]
[15:49] <idefix> bazhang, i alread 'googled'
[15:49] <idefix> already*
[15:49] <Ares> bazhang, like i said, freenode is not helping me
[15:49] <Tiven> bazhang: lol i guess so !!
[15:49] <Ares> understand
[15:49] <Bodsda> Tiven, get some new b82rez or move stuff out of the way of the reciever, or move the reciever away from speakers
[15:49] <nosaj> but some of the hardware in the device mananger are unknown
[15:49] <Tiven> Bodsda: its ok in windows , with the same battery , same distance :)
[15:49] <shane2peru> does anyone know how to setup conky with news feeds?
[15:49] <idefix> bazhang, I wanted to install kformula for important reports and got some error concerning an io-slave
[15:49] <shane2peru> or point me to info?
[15:50] <bazhang> ares what do you mean freenode is not helping you--just enter the simple registration commands in the server channel and you are good to go
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> tzd: Kinda busy.. but man fstab shows you all of that...  My system is rejecting the vista theme I put on it.. life support quick..
[15:50] <Bodsda> Tiven, oh,.,.wierd,.sorry, was just shootin ideas at ya
[15:50] <_SiLENT_> is this the main official channel of ubuntu?
[15:50] <Tiven> Bodsda:  it's ok buddie :D
[15:50] <LjL> _SiLENT_: yes
[15:50] <bazhang> yesh
[15:50] <SleepingSloth> shane2peru, how about this: http://howto.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_add_an_RSS_feed_to_Conky/conky-rss.sh
[15:50] <nosaj> how can i go about getting device mananger to reconize some of my hardwar>?
[15:50] <tzd> Jack_Sparrow: ah alright, thanks anyway and good luck :)
[15:50] <Dex-Freudii> is anyone using hardy?
[15:50] <shane2peru> SleepingSloth, Great thanks!
[15:50] <Ares> hi, can anyone tell me how to register in vernacular, not prog lang
[15:51] <bazhang> ares if you read the register link then it is clearly spelled out how to do it
[15:51] <_SiLENT_> i want to try ubuntu on a virtual machine, which one's best you recommend?
[15:51] <Ares> what the heck is nickserv????
[15:51] <Ares> idk what that is
[15:51] <bazhang> ares this is a busy channel--read the link first
[15:51] <Tiven> bazhang , Bodsda ill use wired/wireless/both for a few minutes for a better test , ill talk to you if i got some news :) Thank you both guys :)
[15:51] <Bodsda> Ares, type what i put exactly                 /msg nickserv identify password
[15:51] <LjL> _SiLENT_: vmware or virtualbox
[15:51] <bazhang> vmware-server or virtualbox seem to be the choices _SiLENT_
[15:52] <LjL> _SiLENT_: i think vmware is fastest usually
[15:52] <Bodsda> Tiven, kk,.,.
[15:52] <_SiLENT_> which one of the two is BEST?
[15:52] <_SiLENT_> vmware?
[15:52] <bazhang> Tiven: come back if it erupts again ;]
[15:52] <oldred> sonebody can help me ?
[15:52] <bazhang> _SiLENT_: a matter of opinion really both are fine
[15:52] <LjL> !best | _SiLENT_
[15:52] <Tiven> :D
[15:52] <ubotu> _SiLENT_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[15:52] <idefix> bazhang?
[15:52] <SleepingSloth> shane2peru, mine has some other stuff in it you'd probably have to edit to get working, but .conkyrc is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55744/
[15:53] <_SiLENT_> LjL: yeah but, MS VM is definitely worse
[15:53] <Ares> i thought you had to fill in ur info in password and stuff
[15:53] <Tiven> guys , can i answer to someone asking for help if i know the answer or only "official" helpers are allowed to ?
[15:53] <bazhang> idefix want me to try my google-fu? is that your '?' ?
[15:53] <Bodsda> Tiven, answer away
[15:53] <SleepingSloth> Tiven, there is no such thing as an official helper. if you can help, do so
[15:53] <Tiven> thx :)

[15:54] <Shirakawasuna> Hi.  I use archlinux, not ubuntu, but I was wondering if someone could confirm something which I suspect is universal.  Has anyone here compared EXA performance vs. XAA performance with an intel 915gm card or related?  On my computer, EXA is a bit laggier/draws slowly when viewing youtube or changing windows, while XAA is perfect.
[15:54] <Bodsda> Ares, so your registered well done
[15:54] <LjL> Ares: please ask in #freenode - i'l lbe there

[15:56] <Liono> I am planning to open a larg internet cafe based on linux. I am not a geek but used linux for a while. i heard that its possible to use as many user accounts simultaniously with only one cpu and may moniters +  key board mice. is that a good idea?
[15:56] <SleepingSloth> shane2peru, no - i dont have rss feeds in mine - i just posted it for your perusal ;)
[15:56] <shane2peru> SleepingSloth, the wiki page gives me a bash script, I assume I just copy and paste that into an empty file and make it executable
[15:56] <Le-Chuck_IT1> Shirakawasuna: remove "edge" from the url :)
[15:56] <Shirakawasuna> Le-Chuck_IT1: that is an excellent bug title ;)
[15:56] <Le-Chuck_IT1> I didn't do that
[15:56] <Le-Chuck_IT1> !
[15:56] <bazhang> ares now you need to identify yourself /msg NickServ IDENTIFY (yourpassword here)
[15:56] <shane2peru> SleepingSloth, and then point the rss feed section in my conkyrc file to that script?
[15:57] <SleepingSloth> shane2peru, you're right - the usage line for your conkyrc file is in the script
[15:57] <Shirakawasuna> Le-Chuck_IT1: the ubuntu bugtracker is sexy O_O
[15:57] <rbil> Liono: excellent idea

[15:57] <nosaj> is it ok that some of the hardware in my device mananger are unknown?
[15:58] <shane2peru> SleepingSloth, ok, that would point it to my bash script on the wiki
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Dex-Freudii: text based installs for problem hardware for one
[15:58] <nosaj> i use gutsy ubuntu
[15:58] <Le-Chuck_IT1> ok I found my seeking DAAP client. It's rhythmbox. Now I just have to bother them with pre-buffering of next song

[15:58] <Dex-Freudii> ok thnx
[15:58] <Tiven> nosaj: yes as long as they work :) almost everything is unknown at my hardware info

[15:58] <dgjones> Dex-Freudii, It also works better installing on machines with low memory

[15:59] <nosaj> like when you press shift s and super key
[16:00] <Bodsda> nosaj, v ram,.,.virtual ram?? 128mb grphics card?
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> nosaj: yes providing the ram is attached to a well supported video card
[16:00] <nosaj> yes
[16:00] <bazhang> nosaj: with the proper drivers most likely; also check #compiz-fusion for the final word

I have no idea what that is.  Rather than bother people with what I'm assuming are basic questions, can someone suggest a good starting point for learning Linux?
[16:02] <nosaj> how can i test my graphic cards too make sure ther runing proplerY?

[16:03] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, he wantsto learn bout linux, not just vbox
[16:03] <pierre_> je comprends rien
[16:03] <ProN00b> Jack_Sparrow, think about people selling webspace or shell accounts...
[16:03] <nosaj> ill google my last question right quick
[16:04] <sanjivv> well.. solar_george.. i checked on the internet.. and it seems to be some problem with "hal".. i removed and reinstalled the "hal" package.. however it does not seem to solve the problem..

[16:04] <pierre_> english is the langage for ubuntu addict?
[16:04] <ijusten> Which might be the problem!
[16:04] <sanjivv> bodsda.. i was talkin to solar george..

[16:05] <Bodsda> Crusader_Tech, do what?
[16:05] <nRkiSt> I have an nvidia 5200fx 256mb card, 768 mb ram on an epoch k7xa mb
[16:05] <patogen> I installed a program from source and used "make install" ... can I move the source file now to another folder so I can uninstall it if I like?
[16:05] <Liono> rbil really ?
[16:05] <ijusten> I have HP dv2007 laptop with the  nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)-audio device. It worked when I installed Ubuntu 7.1 from the CD but after updates stopped working (or possibly it was just muted).
[16:06] <rbil> Liono: that's what I'd do if I was setting up an Internet cafe
[16:06] <ijusten> Anyway, I tried to troubleshoot it and I don't dare to go any farther with this
[16:06] <Dex-Freudii> I'm trying to use gparted to modify partition size, but the partition I want to resize is the one mountes as /usr. and to resize it I need to unmount. is that correct? is there another solution?
[16:06] <ijusten> I think I'm creating my own problems!
 is the gnome power manager tray applet or the older applet
[16:06] <Crusader_Tech> sit back and read this room from time to time.
[16:06] <ijusten> Anyway, my sounds say when I try to test them; audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512! Audioconvert! Audioresamble! Gconfaudiosink:Could not open resource for writing
[16:06] <Bodsda> Is there a manual online for sound config for a fresh install,.,. we get this question 5-20 times a day every day,.,.well,. i see it alot anyway
[16:06] <ProN00b> Jack_Sparrow, 1% of all ubuntu users is a freaking huge lot, i think you are overestimating it now, but still it is an issue for alot of people
 I'm not in an ideal postiton to help as i use xfce
[16:07] <ijusten> Bodsda, the ideal would be simple and clear manual how to undo all my mistakes and start from square one again
[16:07] <ijusten> without having to reinstall the whole os
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> ProN00b: this is not the discussion room, there is no fix yet, if you care to discuss it.. take it to offtopic
[16:07] <sanjivv> solar_george.. it is the tray applet.. not the older one
[16:07] <Bodsda> ijusten, can you not just do   alsa --replace
[16:08] <ijusten> Bodsda, I'm a noob
[16:08] <nosaj> how can i test my graphic cards too make sure ther configured properlly
 try installing acpitool
[16:08] <sanjivv> ok.. thank you solar george.. i'll try that..
[16:08] <ijusten> Bodsa, I'll try that
[16:08] <Bodsda> ijusten, that wont fix it,.,.      laptop or desktop?
[16:08] <Tiven> bazhang: .... lagged again :(
[16:08] <ijusten> HP dv2007-laptop
[16:08] <patogen> I installed a program from source and used "make install" ... can I move the source file now to another folder so I can uninstall it if I like?
[16:08] <Bodsda> Tiven, have you ot a hammer?
[16:08] <Bodsda> ot=got
[16:09] <nosaj> it is a intel graphics card so i donno if ther are guide for configure it
[16:09] <Tiven> lol Bodsda . maybe :p
[16:09] <Dex-Freudii> I'm trying to use gparted to modify partition size, but the partition I want to resize is the one mountes as /usr. and to resize it I need to unmount. is that correct? is there another solution?
[16:09] <rbil> patogen: don't see why not
[16:09] <Shirakawasuna> patogen: certainly
[16:09] <patogen> rbil: Better safe to ask first so I don't break anything (well you learn things from that but I'd rather have a useable system) :)
[16:10] <patogen> rbil and Shirakawasuna: thank you :)
[16:10] <Bodsda> ijusten, what does      asoundconf list       give you?
[16:11] <ijusten> Bodsa, "Names of available sound cards:"
[16:11] <ijusten> And thats it
[16:11] <beer> hi. how can i start a command on login?
[16:11] <beer> i want to do xgamma -gamma 0.8
[16:11] <ijusten> Everything else with the os works like a dream
[16:11] <Liono> rbil - someone told me its not a good idea. but a thin client is..?
[16:12] <Bodsda> ijusten, you can use tab, to complete names,.,. easier for me to read if you get it right ;~),.,. what is the sound cards then,.,. tell me the output
[16:12] <solar_george> beer, in the sessions and startup config program
 under settings
[16:12] <rbil> Liono, to each his own
[16:12] <beer> solar_george, ok i'll search it
[16:12] <Liono> rbil what do you mean
[16:12] <ijusten> Bodsda, true true. Sorry. Anyway, Ubuntu is working otherwise like a charm. It's like the os of my dreams and I don't want to lose it over sound-issues!
[16:12] <rbil> I mean it is debatable
[16:13] <Bodsda> Liono, everyone has there own thoughts and preferences on the idea
[16:13] <rbil> Liono: like I said, my choice would be just as you originally suggested
[16:13] <beer> solar_george, found it. does it allow console programs too?
[16:13] <xalanthyr> hi, can somebody give me some advice with fluxbox/conky on ubunut?
[16:13] <Bodsda> ijusten, i no,.,. so tell me what was listed from that command
[16:13] <ijusten> Bodsda, it just said that "Names of available sound cards:" and then blank
 as long as it doesn't need user interaction
[16:13] <beer> solar_george, ok cool! thx
[16:14] <Bodsda> ijusten, you mean it didnt give you a name of a soundcard?
[16:14] <ijusten> Bodsda, no.
[16:14] <Bodsda> ijusten, do this              lspci | grep -i sound                 and        lspci | grep -i media
[16:14] <ijusten> Bodsda, it didn't. But I happen to know for a fact that lspci gave it as nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[16:14] <Liono> Bodsda rbil what do you think is better. and why
[16:15] <SleepingSloth> solar_george,  beer on startup would be sweet. mind you , i only restart about once a month ;/
[16:15] <ijusten> But not by your command, Bodsda :)
[16:15] <Bodsda> Liono, i havent been payin attention, i was just elaboratin,.sorry
[16:15] <jessid> Hello. is it possible to restart the usb services without restarting the computer????
[16:15] <beer> SleepingSloth, lol
[16:15] <Liono> I am planning to open a larg internet cafe based on linux. I am not a geek but used linux for a while. i heard that its possible to use as many user accounts simultaniously with only one cpu and may moniters +  key board mice. is that a good idea?
[16:15] <Liono> Bodsda ^
 set it as a cron then
[16:15] <Bodsda> ijusten, ok now type this           asoundconf set-default-card MCP51
[16:15] <rbil> Liono: I like the economy and control it would give the admin of such a setup
[16:16] <dabbill> I installed Warcraft 3 with wine, but it wont find the CD when i try to launch the game. Any one know of a fix for this?
[16:16] <Liono> rbil so how can i do it. what will i need ?
[16:16] <Bodsda> Liono, not unless its a super computer,.,.
[16:16] <Da_Putzler> Q. Is the gnome-screensaver actually needed for the Power-management to put tft screen on standby every 5 minutes ???
[16:16] <Liono> Bodsda why so. what do you suggest?
[16:16] <SleepingSloth> solar_george, heheh.... good idea. now i just need an automated beer delivery system....
[16:16] <jessid> !usb
[16:16] <ubotu> For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[16:16] <putnum> what is the most secure method of connecting to my linux box via port 443 from any internet connection? And is there a good how to on it
[16:16] <ijusten> Bodsda, it didn't do anything. At least, it didn't say anything.
[16:16] <Bodsda> Liono, are you sugesting you only have 1 box in the cafe?
[16:16] <an0malist> i just installed ubuntu... what are some recommended packages to install for customizing?
[16:17] <Tiven> Bodsda: know what ? i have an idea...
[16:17] <rbil> Liono: you'll have to do your own research. I read a few articles on the subject I found thru google.
[16:17] <Da_Putzler> an0ma: install Ubuntu Tweak...
[16:17] <ijusten> Bodsda, asoundconf still leaves a blank
[16:17] <DRebellion> putnum, i would suggest ssh
[16:17] <Bodsda> ijusten, bear in mind, if somethin doesnt give an output, its usually a good thing,,.;~)   now right click on the speaker in the top right,. open sound controlm..file,.change device,.pick your device
[16:17] <Tiven> Bodsda: when i was trying to install ubuntu , i couldnt make ANY usb device to work. then i remember , before few months that i disabled usb keyboard,mouse support in order for them to work.
[16:17] <SleepingSloth> rbil, Liono - are you two talking about a bank of thin clients off a single mainframe?
 look at http://www.linutop.com/
[16:17] <rbil> Liono: a Victoria outfit, one of the principles being an author of the Ubuntu official book, sells such systems to libraries
[16:18] <C_Kode> anash smells like dead fish
[16:18] <tetsujin> Hullo everyone?
[16:18] <putnum> drebellion: yes I have seen this done via a java applet in the borwser. is this good? I want to be able to see X too and the desktop
[16:18] <Da_Putzler> Q.) Do I need gnome-screensaver to use power-management standby for tft's ???
[16:18] <Bodsda> Tiven, wots the question?
[16:18] <Liono> SleepingSloth i should repeat I am planning to open a larg internet cafe based on linux. I am not a geek but used linux for a while. i heard that its possible to use as many user accounts simultaniously with only one cpu and may moniters +  key board mice. is that a good idea?
[16:18] <anash> O.0
[16:18] <rbil> Liono: can't remember the name off hand, I'll see if I can find it and post their URL
[16:18] <tetsujin> minus the question mark.
[16:18] <DRebellion> !vnc | putnum
[16:18] <ubotu> putnum: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[16:18] <anash> u can do better than that dude
[16:19] <anash> @ C_Kode
[16:19] <C_Kode> fish
[16:19] <Tiven> Bodsda: and it works as you can see now :) but... before i remember that i tried different usb ports , and i put the dongle behind the pc (i used to connect it to the keyboard , 10cm from mouse)
[16:19] <putnum> ok thanks
[16:19] <DRebellion> Liono, linux will handle that perfectly
[16:19] <Bodsda> Tiven, aahhh,.,. there you go then,.,.well done
[16:19] <Tiven> so that might help now !! might be the distance you said... i totally forgot i was using different port the last 2 days
[16:19] <C_Kode> anash: Learn how to use IRC
[16:19] <C_Kode> :)
[16:19] <dabbill> I installed Warcraft 3 with wine, but it wont find the CD when i try to launch the game. Any one know of a fix for this?
[16:19] <Tiven> we will see though..... seems good so far :)
[16:19] <anash> thats why im here dude
[16:19] <Bodsda> Liono, why not have ten machines all running ubuntu?
[16:20] <C_Kode> Let these fine folks know what your problem is.
[16:20] <ijusten> Bodsda, I try to access volume control and it says that I dont have Gstreamer installed
[16:20] <anash> Whoa@ dabbill
[16:20] <Tiven> but is it normal Bodsda ? it has distance of more than 4-5 metres.
[16:20] <DRebellion> dabbill, ask in #winehq also check appdb.winehq.org
 Look at edubuntu - that uses an LTSP thin client system
[16:20] <ijusten> Bodsda, probably will try doing that :P
[16:20] <Bodsda> ijusten, search synaptic for gstreamer
[16:20] <dabbill> okay thanks
[16:20] <bazhang> anash you  have an actual question?
[16:20] <anash> yes
[16:21] <anash> i need info about the recent kernel exploit for ubuntu
[16:21] <bazhang> oy
[16:21] <Bodsda> Tiven, its very normal,. consider that probably all of your ellectrical equipment enerates a small emp around them selves,. if things are too close,. they disrupt wireless signals
[16:21] <Liono> Dr`Maison rbil handle what perfectly.. i mean what exactly you recomend? what do i need
[16:21] <C_Kode> No he doesn't.  He attempted to update his Unbuntu and it froze.  Now it freezes everytime he attempts to update
[16:21] <Liono> Bodsda yes
[16:21] <Tiven> Bodsda: alright i hope thats the problem !! still no lag :DDD
[16:21] <C_Kode> Ubuntu too
[16:22] <SleepingSloth> Liono, well, i doubt anyone in here, myself included, has much, if any, real-world experience of setting up that sort of system. to my mind, there are a lot of considerations. 1) if the server goes down, all connections are lost. 2) is the hardware cost of your mainframe and terminals lower, or even comparable to buying however many standalone machines? 3) do you have the skill required to diagnose and fix a problem immediately? time i
[16:22] <SleepingSloth> s money in this case - when the alternative would be to present a standby standalone in the event of a box going down
[16:22] <Liono> Bodsda but i have to buy 10 machines then. i was thinking to buy one good one. and make others as kvm clients
[16:23] <Liono> SleepingSloth clients = 10
[16:23] <Bodsda> Liono, no,.,. all people would then be using the same machine, it will quickly get overfilled and extreme lag, and probably multiple people tryin to acces the same file type of probs,.,. youd have to spend alot to get a machine that could handle it
[16:23] <Liono> SleepingSloth iam new
 Look at the linutop link i posted
[16:23] <Liono> Bodsda what if the server is a core 2 duo.
[16:23] <rbil> Liono: these guys offer a commercial solution, but you can put one together yourself. But they do explain what it can look like ... http://userful.com/
[16:23] <Da_Putzler> Does Gnome-Power-management NEED Gnome-Screensaver to work properly ???
[16:23] <Bodsda> Liono, ubuntu cant use them very well to my knowledge
[16:24] <Bodsda> correct me if im wron
[16:24] <ivze> Liono: i have seen the install in a hotel in Imatra, Suomi. That was Xubuntu. (May be, that's helpful =))
[16:24] <mason> hi
[16:25] <mason> hello??i'm here looking for help
[16:25] <Pici> !ask
[16:25] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[16:25] <bazhang> indeed mason
[16:25] <LjL> !ask | mason
[16:25] <ubotu> mason: please see above
[16:25] <mason> ok...........
[16:25] <SleepingSloth> Liono, even for web surfing, you still need a powerful central server for a thin client system. unless you have staff who can fix any problem dead quick, i personally would err on the side of caution, buy 11 or 12 bulk-discounted and identical cheap systems, create a base installation and ghost it - if you ever have a problem and a machine goes down, literally swap the boxes. then you have time to fix the problem, or if worse comes to
[16:25] <SleepingSloth> worst, you can just re-image the box. that is just my $0.02 - but try to think of worst case scenario, and how you would deal with it
[16:25] <bazhang> this is #ubuntu--the friendly help channel ;]
[16:25] <rbil> Liono: Corey Burger, one of the authors of The Official Ubuntu Book, is involved with userful
[16:26] <rbil> Liono: you might want to contact him if you have questions
[16:27] <white_eagle> guys, when I type "uname -a" I get 2.6.22-14-generic, is that the newest kernel?
[16:27] <rbil> Liono: they setup these types of systems in public libraries all over North America
[16:27] <Liono> Bodsda solo SleepingSloth solar_george rbil - well actully i theoried that i would make one server. that will handle all clients. and open up mulitple cyber cafes. each client would only run. a browser, irc client. msn messenger . yahoo messenger. open office. and none else. each client would be given a ticket by some app. for one hour usage. after that one hour it would lock the screen. then another ticket. each ticket counts and i can collect the money at da

[16:28] <anash> it seems to be llocked up
[16:28] <mason> anash, please see above, ubotu said cant ask like this
[16:29] <anash> and i believe it has to do with the recent kernel exploit
[16:29] <anash> ok@mason
[16:29] <mason> (actually i dont mind, i just follow the rule of ubotu)
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Glad it is fixed.. theme is fixed as well
[16:30] <DRebellion> Jack_Sparrow, blasphemy! :O
[16:30] <bazhang> anash: that is unlikely; explain with more precision if you would
[16:30] <henroc> hey..
[16:30] <Tiven> Bodsda: are you still there ?
[16:30] <henroc> when I run aptitude --without-recommends install somepackage

[16:31] <anash> ok 2 bazhang

[16:35] <Pici> ares-mars: Typically if the command says something like: command [argument] [argument], it means that the arguments are optional, not to enclose them with brackets.
[16:35] <mason> rbil: how you know it is not supported ? and how to make it support???
[16:36] <pike_> djr: do 'locale' command you can then export LC_VAR=whatever  there may be easier ways

[16:50] <zkjellberg> Question: How do I update Compiz? Ubuntu-Tweak doesn't support mine because it is out of date, yet apt-get upgrade says nothing about any new versions.
[16:50] <bazhang> #kubuntu-kde4 will tell you linuxman
[16:50] <queuetue> bazhang, is there a way to ask ubuntu to build it for me, or do I need to compile a custom kernel and copy the module by hand?
[16:50] <Bodsda> linuxman,   purge packagename
[16:50] <linuxman> i am using gnome... i just tried kde out
[16:50] <Bodsda> linuxman, ^^^^^
[16:50] <linuxman> thanks bazhang
[16:50] <bazhang> queuetue: I would guess that the manual compile is the only option
[16:50] <queuetue> bazhang, Ok, thanks.

[16:55] <DRebellion> wing_xubuntu, totem is based on gstreamer iirc, so you will need the gstreamer codec packages
[16:55] <eth01> Bodsda, mmmk.
[16:55] <bazhang> wing_xubuntu: you do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[16:55] <MasterMel> bazhang: yes viewing internet pages does work on ubuntu
[16:55] <wing_xubuntu> yes
[16:56] <DRebellion> MasterMel, then you do not have a working internet connection
[16:56] <tators> how do I give myself permission to write to my external e harddrive?
[16:56] <TurtleOfDoom> MasterMel: do you know how to open a terminal?

[16:56] <Bodsda> DRebellion, your saying that someone who can browse the web has no internet?

[16:56] <Bodsda> !best | Strat
[16:56] <DRebellion> Bodsda, <MasterMel> bazhang: yes viewing internet pages does work on ubuntu
[16:56] <tators> what is the chown command
[16:56] <eth01> !chown | tators
[16:56] <ubotu> tators: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

In the How to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512059  it gives 4 options, Envy, Automatix2, restricted drives and add/remove applications... does anyone know which works best? what makes them different?
[16:58] <Strat> i'm using xchat and the problem is...i can't seem to download stuff from bots

[16:58] <torc> I have 6.06 and I need to work my way up to 7.10
[16:58] <unagi> can anyone help me troubleshoot why my max resolution is 1024 x 768 but my screen is 1440 x 900
[16:58] <Bodsda> Strat, i have the same problem
[16:59] <bluefox83> i need a command to tell me what kind of ram a machine is running...
[16:59] <bazhang> torc there is direct upgrade path from 6.06 to 8.04 if you wait about 7-8 weeks
[16:59] <tators> I can't find info on chown
[16:59] <bluefox83> be it ddr2 ddr3, ect ect
[16:59] <Pici> tators: man chown
[16:59] <bazhang> torc otherwise you have to them one at a time
[16:59] <Bodsda> unagi,    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg      while doing that it will giive options on screen res's untick the ones you dont want, tick the ones you do want
[16:59] <torc> I can do that
[16:59] <tators> man chown
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> bieb: do NOT use envy or automatix
[17:00] <torc> I would do it one at a time if update manager would let me
[17:00] <bieb> Jack_Sparrow  what is the issue with them?  curious
[17:00] <bazhang> bieb #3
[17:00] <Bodsda> bieb, i second #3
[17:00] <kantor> hi, is there a Linux application that measures an optical device (CD/DVD drive) transfer rate speed ?
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> unagi: THe problem is usually, the system using the vesa driver or the right driver and wrong monitor v/h refresh rates
[17:01] <bieb> ok.. I will install the restricted drivers

[17:04] <DRebellion> speedcore_, not really, no.
[17:04] <tcpdumpgod> speedcore_, ssh or vpn tunnels?
[17:04] <alfred_> good ?.. thats probably something i tried adding
[17:04] <speedcore_> ssh
[17:04] <alfred_> to find skype
[17:04] <bazhang> unagi you did the command and went through it all in less than 2 minutes?
[17:05] <speedcore_> tcpdumpgod: I can ssh alright... and then i should be able to tunnel to?
[17:05] <vorwarts> i need to reconfigure certain settings of an ubuntu installation from a CLI. which binary shall i run?

[17:06] <tcpdumpgod> VPN tunneling is something totally different.
[17:06] <tcpdumpgod> brb
[17:06] <Bodsda> bazhang, a couple! ha
[17:06] <pike_> vorwarts: typically youd do a dpkg-reconfigure packagename  if you are either trying to get it back to default or something

[17:06] <dupesfield> is vino builtin vnc server ok, or should i install a better once (ressources thinking)
[17:06] <bazhang> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg unagi just like that and fill out all the info you can
[17:07] <alfred_> sry bodsda. at the moment yes it is the whole source.list
[17:07] <Bodsda> alfred_, why have you removed loadsa lines?
[17:07] <alfred_> how did that happen?

[17:12] <Laibsch> Am I misunderstanding apt pinning?  http://rafb.net/p/SOVqKC77.html seems to suggest I do, because I would expect 2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2-0ubuntu0.7.10 be installed, but aptitude shows it as "automatically held in current state".  Anybody understand why?

[17:17] <Laibsch> adac2: Is restarting from scratch an option?
[17:17] <Laibsch> I guess deleting that directory was not a good idea
[17:17] <bazhang> Bodsda: he still does not say he did the sudo dpkg command lets take a look at the xorg.conf and see ;]
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterMel: What repo did you add?
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !find elisa
[17:17] <Bodsda> bazhang, me agree
[17:18] <ubotu> Found: elisa
[17:18] <bazhang> what repo MasterMel and import the key
[17:18] <adac2> Laibsch: It doesnt matter...i can delete all of the mysql stuff

[17:19] <MasterMel> jack_sparrow: I dont know what you mean .. i just added this to the sources list "deb http://elisa.fluendo.com/packages gutsy main"
[17:19] <Bodsda> _moro_bana_, please help yourself by supplying us with usefull information,.,.defining your problem will help

[17:20] <bieb> bodsda  and Jack_sparrow   thanks

[17:21] <Bodsda> unagi, is this correct      HP 1440 x 900

[17:21] <MasterMel> Jack_Sparrow: or how do i get it installed
[17:21] <unagi> that was my entry........otherwise it says generic monitor
[17:22] <Bodsda> unagi, did you try generic monitor?
[17:22] <_moro_bana_> Bodsda: im stuck with the sever confi--tion, i wanna set it for yahoo
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> MasterMel: Remove the repo you added, make sure you enable universe then use synaptic or apt-get to install
[17:22] <unagi> why would the name change the resolution
[17:22] <bazhang> hexahubris not here
[17:22] <Laibsch> adac2: maybe "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql" can help you
[17:22] <MasterMel> Jack_Sparrow: ok i can just remove it from my sources.list right?
[17:22] <adac2> Laibsch: ok I try that out!
[17:22] <Bodsda> unagi, because its a different type of screen, therefore has different refresh rates therefore can only supportr certain res's
[17:23] <Bodsda> MasterMel, correct
[17:23] <MasterMel> ok i will try now thnx
[17:23] <Bodsda> _moro_bana_, what part of the config? i use thunderbird,.,.not to sure bout evo
[17:23] <unagi> if you say so........its just an identifier
[17:23] <unagi> brb
[17:24] <pike_> vorwarts: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a   may work
[17:24]  * Bodsda wonders why people ask a question then disagree with my answer, when they dont know what theyre talkin bout
[17:24] <bazhang> hehe
[17:24] <Bodsda> bazhang, do those refresh rates look right to you?
[17:24] <_moro_bana_> Bodsda: i tried thunderbird sometime back , also failed, i will sure try it now, since you can help
[17:25] <Bodsda> _moro_bana_, yer,. i use thunder and yaho so i can help,.,. do that
[17:25] <lordmorgoth> hey guys, i have an intel sound card on my sony vaio (snd_hda_intel) sound worked out of the box with gusty, but when i plug my headphones the sound continues to come out from the speakers and nothing from the headphones. so i read somewhere that this is solved by compiling alsa 1.0.15 so i compiler 1.0.16 and still problem not solved
[17:25] <lordmorgoth> any ideas ??
[17:25] <Bodsda> anyway to put a youtube video on repeat?
[17:26] <DRebellion> Bodsda, download the flv and use a local media player.
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> lordmorgoth: You can see if they have an answer in the #alsa room
[17:26] <unagi> Generic Monitor doesnt work either
[17:26] <bieb> bodsda  I am trying the generic monitor also... Where can I find the correct refresh rates or should I just use the medium setting and select a resolution? I have the HP dv9620us with 17" screen
[17:26] <Bodsda> DRebellion, i will,.,. but is there a way of doing it online?
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> unagi: did you post your xorg and specs?
[17:26] <lordmorgoth> Jack_Sparrow: how original

[17:34] <knobjockey> hi I was wondering if anyone could help me ubuntu 7.4 isnt recognizing my router
[17:34] <knobjockey> it worked on the 7.10 live disk tho
[17:34] <DRebellion> knobjockey, upgrade to 7.10 then
[17:34] <erUSUL> knobjockey: why dindn't you installed 7.10?
[17:35] <kenox> i used adept(kubuntu)
[17:35] <knobjockey> Because I was dual booting with vista installed first 7.10 didnt detect vista when i was about to install it so I thought it would be safer to install 7.4
[17:35] <Edulix> re
[17:35] <knobjockey> Im a complete nub when it comes to linux if you cant tell :D
[17:35] <unagi> didnt detect vista?
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> unagi: HorizSync	28-50   is a little tight   see if you can find your real rate.. my 19 lcd here uses Horizsync	28-64
[17:35] <erUSUL> knobjockey: no problem.. are you using wifi?
[17:35] <Bodsda> knobjockey, could you change your nick please,. this is a family friendly channel
[17:36] <unagi> sync affects resolutions in the preferences?
[17:36] <Bodsda> familyfriendly, thankyou,.,.lol
[17:36] <Bodsda> unagi, what?
[17:36] <familyfriendly> nope not using wifi have my belkin router connected
[17:36] <unagi> horizsync and vertsync will affect what resolutions are displayed in the preferences?
[17:37] <Edulix> erUSUL: and do you any codification that put accentuated vowels like á é í'ó ú like 'a or even without any indication of the acent, or I would need a search/replace for that?
[17:37] <bazhang> haha nice nick
[17:37] <_moro_bana_>  Bodsda: im on thunder,sever confi, have POP and IMAP
[17:37] <squeaks> hi all, my thinkpad's built-in mouse quit working, sometime when I was sleeping. Does anyone know which kernel module might be responsible? I've been googling for a while now with no relevant hits.
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> unagi: Yes, is the short answer
[17:37] <bazhang> unagi who are you addressing?
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> unagi: It effects what rates the monitor will work at
[17:38] <erUSUL> Edulix: none from the top of my head
[17:38] <Bodsda> _moro_bana_, whenever it asks for yur name, use your yahoo id,.,. pop = pop.yahoo.mail.com       duno what imap is,  if its the ooutgoing one then its    smtp.yahoo.mail.com
[17:38] <familyfriendly> would installing 7.10 save over the existing bootloader
[17:38] <familyfriendly> ?
[17:38] <Edulix> erUSUL: ok thanks
[17:38] <unagi> Jack_Sparrow: but it wouldnt affect what resolution modes preferences will show
[17:39] <bieb> ok.. got the monitor working.. after I did all the dpkg-reconfigure  the monitor still came back with "low resolution" only.... I then re-enabled the restricted nvidia drivers which required a restart, now I have 1440x900 50hz refresh
[17:39] <bazhang> nice bieb
[17:39] <Bodsda> unagi, you must have certain freq'z with certain res's
[17:39] <DRebellion> Bodsda, its basically a new equivalent of pop, where the devices have authority as well as the server.
[17:39] <Bodsda> DRebellion, so why do you still have to enter a pop and smtp addi?
[17:39] <unagi> Bodsda: ok, but that wouldnt effect whether or not it is listed in the preferences correct??
[17:40] <AlexQ> Hi. I've got an laptop, Acer TravelMate 5710. Sound works correctly on the build-in speakers, but the standard "green" speaker-out doesn't work. I don't know how to fix it - in the ALSA MIXER I've got only: Master, PCM and Digital in "Capture". Build-in microphone doesn't work too... But camera works good.
[17:40] <familyfriendly> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694317
[17:40] <Bodsda> unagi, erm,. it shows res's depending on the screen you choose, not the refresh rates,. so i suppose, you would be correct
[17:41] <unagi> so then there is a seperate problem than my horiz and vert sync
[17:41] <butsniffer> is there anyone here that's spend some time to setup a roomy storage box? i mean roomy i mean in access of 2Tb.

[17:41] <MasterMel> bodsda: Thnx i have set it to universe and i can now download and install certain programs.. i just tried to install elisa.. but the install got an error saying it is conflicting with another program.. use synaptic to resolve the problem..  Where do fix this in synaptic?
[17:41] <DRebellion> butsniffer, probably, but only if you ask some specific questions.
[17:41] <PriceChild> AlexQ, are you sure they aren't muted?
[17:42] <butsniffer> i'm looking to expand, but, its kinda ghetto and goofy, dunno if i should go crazy with raid, or just buy cheap controllers and add drives.
[17:42] <Bodsda> MasterMel, this means you have another type of apt open,.,.close all terminals and synaptic and add/remove, then open synaptic and try aain
[17:42] <AlexQ> PriceChild: In mixer - i don't know what is what, everythings full...
[17:42] <AlexQ> PriceChild: Phisically, the speakers are OK.
[17:42] <butsniffer> well, my one box is quite small and slow, 450mhz k6-2 and 128mb ram, oen of those promis tx2 PCI cards with 4x500's on it
[17:43] <PriceChild> AlexQ, there's an "MM" at the bottom if they're muted?
[17:43] <brontos> Hey all, you know of a good channel to talk about sys administration?  Most specifically about multicasting images?

[17:43] <PriceChild> AlexQ, yes
[17:43] <unagi> i want my 1440 x 900 resolution back Bodsda
[17:43] <butsniffer> it's fine for playing divx, 720 and 1089 over the network, but, my main question is can i buy more pci controllers and not worry about conflicts.
[17:43] <PriceChild> AlexQ, also make sure you're looking at the correct sound device

[17:59] <zackyramone> i have an ntfs parition but when i delete files the free space on the partition remains the same...i need help
[17:59] <unagi> by doing what ikonia
[17:59] <familyfriendly> so I would just select guided: largest continuous space
[17:59] <MasterShrek> zackyramone, have you unmounted it as suggested before?
[17:59] <familyfriendly> like I did before
[18:00] <zackyramone> yes but it remains the same
[18:00] <ikonia> unagi sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[18:00] <Bodsda> bieb, there is no search for networks button, if your using dhcp, it should scan automagically,. then just right click on the network icon in the right corner and there should be one there
[18:00] <MasterShrek> familyfriendly, well, i dont think so since it was already partitioned for 7.04
[18:00] <familyfriendly> :S
[18:00] <MasterShrek> zackyramone, are you deleting files that would make a significant decrease in free space?
[18:00] <vrkhans> hi i have a question is there any way to use windows apps in ubunut
[18:00] <DRebellion> !wine | vrkhans
[18:00] <ubotu> vrkhans: 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.
[18:00] <erUSUL> !wine | vrkhans
[18:01] <familyfriendly> so I have to find out what partion linux is installed on?
[18:01] <DRebellion> vrkhans, but i don't recommend it. what do you need to do?
[18:01] <zackyramone> yes, about 2gb but now they are gone but there is no free space
[18:01] <MasterShrek> familyfriendly, im not exactly sure how the guided partitioning part works since i always use manual :)
[18:01] <MasterShrek> familyfriendly, yes, it should have an ext3 filesystem
[18:01] <vrkhans> office mostly
[18:01] <_moro_bana_> Bodsda:whts imap
[18:01] <bieb> bodsda: I am currently connected to a wired connection so that I could do any of the updates and such to get the monitor working. Now that that is working, I looked in the restricted drivers and "Firmware for broadcom 43xx chipset family" is listed as "in use"

[18:02] <DRebellion> vrkhans, yes.
[18:02] <{Nathan}> vrkhans: use openoffice, it works great and is much better than wine
[18:02] <bieb> ok
[18:02] <_moro_bana_> Bodsda: k...
[18:02] <MasterShrek> familyfriendly, the only thing you want to make sure of is that you leave the ntfs partition alone, as long as you dont screw with that partition, we should be able to get back to vista at some point
[18:02] <Bodsda> vrkhans, i would sugest trying openoffice
[18:02] <mehrab1131> I've downloaded a .bin file, but I dont know how to install it
[18:02] <johnficc1> I have tried two ways of burning it and it is still the same
[18:02] <ikonia> vrkhans: bottom line use Windows for Microsoft applications, Ubuntu for none, if you chose to use wine or other emmulation style programs your results may vary
[18:02] <mehrab1131> what should I do?

[18:03] <{Nathan}> vrkhans: then use windows. Nobody is forcing you to use linux
[18:03] <ikonia> Hammerhead: this is ubuntu support - not warez or windows chat
[18:03] <MasterShrek> vrkhans, then use windows, you have to be open to the idea of using different software if you are going to survive in a linux world

[18:08] <ikonia> phanatic: I am, please read the guide.
[18:08] <{Nathan}> fyksen: I think that imagemagik can do that
[18:09] <`Matir> fyksen, Image Magick
[18:09] <Pici> !guidelines > phanatic (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[18:09] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: So, what I have to do?
[18:09] <Bodsda> muramasa, i can vouch for this one ;~)     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55769/
[18:09] <erUSUL> fyksen: use a little script with mogrify (that comes in imagemagik)
[18:09] <erUSUL> !info imagemagick > fyksen
[18:09] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: as of right now, nothing... I'm still looking for your speakers right now
[18:09] <pike_> fyksen: the tools in imagemagick are great for batch jobs and scripting
[18:09] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: Are there any adv. settings?
[18:09] <fyksen> !info imagemagick

[18:09] <tp__> ok....I like irssi
[18:09] <muramasa> Bodsda: ah, thanks mate. I'll try that one :-)
[18:10] <Bodsda> muramasa, no probs ;~)
[18:10] <Andeh> Hi, I'm on the LiveCD and I want to do some partition editing, but the LiveCD went ahead and mounted the swap partition as its own. How do I unmount it so I can delete it?
[18:10] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: sorry, no. It's a bug with the driver, and unless you want to write it yourself, you just have to wait for a fix.
[18:10] <Hammerhead> I am seeing this error http://rafb.net/p/LXiyBx78.html when running tomboy...anyone else?
[18:10] <sweety> hiy
[18:10] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: however, if you know C, I've been told it's not too hard to write drivers.
[18:10] <MasterShrek> Andeh, sudo umount /dev/xxxx
[18:10] <TurtleOfDoom> tp__: glad to hear it, just started using it yesterday
[18:10] <`Matir> Andeh, swapoff -a
[18:10] <Andeh> MasterShrek: Lol thanks
[18:10] <tp__> about...ohh....2 minutes ago here
[18:11] <tp__> most of that was figuring out how to set up the server
[18:11] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: I know C++ a really little...
[18:11] <_moro_bana_> Bodsda: you know i was never asked for my password during setup
[18:11] <ikonia> Hammerhead: looks like it's missing a class it wants at run time
[18:11] <pike_> ADHDYoshi: swapon and swapoff are the commands
[18:11] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: But, are you sure? How do you know it?
[18:11] <ADHDYoshi> Hm?
[18:11] <Andeh> Uh, ubuntu keeps mounting my NTFS partition
[18:11] <tcpdumpgod> anyone know of a mp3 to avi converter?
[18:11] <Bodsda> _moro_bana_, no, yull be asked when you try to download the messaes tho
[18:11] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: sorry, but your probably just going to have to wait for a fix then. It's documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[18:11] <ADHDYoshi> Uhhh, thanks
[18:12] <pike_> tcpdumpgod: eh?
[18:12] <MasterShrek> !fstab | Andeh
[18:12] <ubotu> Andeh: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[18:12] <Bodsda> Andeh, and thats a bad thing?
[18:12] <Hammerhead> I have reinstalled Tomboy and mono neither helped
[18:12] <{Nathan}> tcpdumpgod: there's always zamzar(.com)
[18:12] <ADHDYoshi> But that really wasn't something I need to know
[18:12] <Andeh> Bodsda: Yes, I'm trying to resize it, and can't while it's in use
[18:12] <ADHDYoshi> but thanks for the info, I'll probably use it in the future
[18:12] <Hammerhead> also removed the .tomboy directory in the users directory
[18:12] <erUSUL> Hammerhead: it seems that some mono file is either missing or corrupted... can you test if you lack some mono related package or any of the tomboy dependencies
[18:12] <MasterShrek> oh yea, live cd
[18:12] <Koko0o0o> irc.spnet.net
[18:12] <muramasa> Bodsda: worked alot better I must say :-)
[18:12] <ikonia> Hammerhead: look at what it's looking for in /usr/lib/tomboy see if there is anything obviously out of place.
[18:12] <MasterShrek> Andeh, just umount it like the swap
[18:12] <mehrab1131> erUSUL: what is chamo?
[18:12] <Bodsda> Andeh, oh,.,.lol,.,.fstab,.,.and   look at      man umount
[18:12] <Andeh> Bodsda: Then I unmount it, but in Gparted it still shows as mounted, so I do rescan devices and it mounts it again!
[18:12] <Bodsda> muramasa, lad you like it,.,.;~)P
[18:12] <mehrab1131> should I use that command to install?
[18:13] <Andeh> never mind lol
[18:13] <ikonia> mehrab1131: what are you trying to install ?
[18:13] <Hammerhead> I have and the tomboy.exe is there.

[18:13] <maximilion> Hello :)
[18:13] <_Lucretia_> I'm about to do a reinstall, but with a new version. I *NEED* to know if the madwifi drivers are on the x86_64 boot dvd? I can't remember if I had to faff around with running an ethernet cable downstairs to the router
[18:13] <erUSUL> mehrab1131: sorry ;) is "chmod"

[18:14] <Cpudan80> How is everyone this afternoon ?
[18:14] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: Ok, thx for all. but what with the OSS? Does it use the same driver?
[18:14] <pike_> Andeh: usually i give it aboiut 8 - 10 gigs minimum of 3-4

[18:15] <crazy3k> Is there a way to see the monitor resolution in the command-line?
[18:15] <phanatic> ikonia help me dude!!
[18:15] <ikonia> crazy3k: xrand
[18:15] <`Matir> phanatic, what is an NT1 Plus II?
[18:15] <mehrab1131> ikonia: at bitnami.org
[18:15] <phanatic> an ISDN modem
[18:15] <Cpudan80> ikonia: Well excuse me for trying to brighten the mood a little - pm
[18:15] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: as far as I know, yes.
[18:15] <MasterShrek> phanatic, most drivers that you will use are already there, i doubt the majority of the people here know what "NT1 Plus II" even is (including myself) you need to be more specific
[18:15] <Andeh> should I use reiserfs or ext3 for root partition?
[18:15] <Andeh> i'm going for speed
[18:15] <maximilion_> Anyone know anything about the Tidy HTML plugin for Firefox? It is not to be found on the official site...
[18:15] <phanatic> it's a USB ISDN Modem
[18:15] <MasterShrek> phanatic, is it an internal isdn modem or external?
[18:15] <MasterShrek> hmm
[18:15] <_Lucretia_> if madwifi-ng is not on the install dvd, where can I get the deb's so I can just install?
[18:15] <phanatic> External

[18:17] <_Lucretia_> can anybody help me please?
[18:17] <ikonia> mehrab1131 you sure can
[18:17] <`Matir> phanatic, most ISDN modems are supported via cdc-usb driver.
[18:17] <MasterShrek> phanatic, try installing it then getting your isdn modem to work, quite often youll have better luck with hardware after an install

[18:18] <roddersg> can someone tell me the package that gives wisecracks when you make a mistake on the command line (e.g. bad password etc), something like cowsay
[18:18] <MasterShrek> Le^stat, through open up synaptic and search for them (system > admin > synaptic)

[18:18] <`Matir> phanatic, not sure if those are in the LiveCD, have you looked at setting up the wvdial dialer?
[18:18] <_Lucretia_> where can I find the madwifi-ng debs? are they on the gutsy install dvd?

[18:18] <mehrab1131> ikonia: but I didnt find it
[18:18] <_Lucretia_> erUSUL, wyrmul better?
[18:19] <s0u][ight> hello can someone help me with my bcm 4311 wlan card?
[18:19] <mehrab1131> ikonia: would u tell me the exact command
[18:19] <phanatic> i typed wvdialconfig
[18:19] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, doubtfully those are restricted modules
[18:19] <mariano> ciao a tutti
[18:19] <phanatic> and it didnt reckognise it
[18:19] <roddersg> MasterShrek, someone installed it in the common workspace computer and its a killer!
[18:19] <tp__> I might be able to sou][
[18:19] <ikonia> mehrab1131: apologies I was at another screen
[18:19] <Bodsda> mariano, language?
[18:19] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, try the restricted drivers manager
[18:19] <s0u][ight> i have a dual boot vista and ubuntu laptop with only wirelss internet wich i can't set up under ubuntu
[18:19] <phanatic> ikonia, do you have a job
[18:19] <wyrmul> so what is the solution? reformat the drive in ext2?
[18:19] <MasterShrek> !it | mariano

[18:19] <{Nathan}> AlexQ: that seems to be able to solve your speaker problem, I'd try that.
[18:19] <ikonia> mehrab1131: apt-get install wordpress
[18:19] <phanatic> ikonia, ok
[18:19] <Bodsda> MasterShrek, damn you
[18:19] <ikonia> mehrab1131: sudo apt-get install wordpress sorry
[18:19] <mariano> ok grazie
[18:19] <mehrab1131> ikonia: its ok
[18:19] <MasterShrek> :) Bodsda
[18:19] <s0u][ight> i did everything about the bcm43XX driver just won't work
[18:20] <AlexQ> {Nathan}: OK, that sounds cool, THX ;).
[18:20] <tp__> if the restricted drivers don't work, try this....
[18:20] <phanatic> `Matir: I used wvdialconfig and it didnt understand it
[18:20] <phanatic> is that ok
[18:20] <Andeh> Lol, how retarded
[18:20] <erUSUL> wyrmul: no you have to create dirs inside this filesystem and change the permisions of that dirs to be able to access them
[18:20] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: is there an url I can get them, so I can burn them to a CD so I can install without the need for routing a very long network cable out of a window into another window down to the router? no I'm not using a laptop, and no it's not feasible to move the machine. and no I can't run a cable through the house, cos if I could, I would, believe me
[18:20] <Bodsda> MasterShrek, ;~)
[18:20] <ikonia> Andeh: what is the problem ?
[18:20] <erUSUL> !who | wyrmul
[18:20] <ubotu> wyrmul: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[18:20] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: we need more information that "just won't work." What doesn't work?
[18:20] <tp__> install_bcm43xx_firmware
[18:20] <s0u][ight> did it
[18:20] <tp__> then - modprobe bcm43xx
[18:20] <mehrab1131> ikonia: hope it will work, its being downloaded
[18:20] <Andeh> ikonia: I'm on the livecd. I unmount the windows partition, spent ten minutes fine tuning the partitions, click apply, it rescans the disks, which makes ubuntu auto mounts the windows partition, and then GParted can't resize it.
[18:20] <ikonia> mehrab1131: should do
[18:21] <tp__> then reboot
[18:21] <s0u][ight> i can get signals from networks but can't connect
[18:21] <ikonia> Andeh: just unmount it
[18:21] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, you can activate the needed repos and download them. What wireless are you trying to get connected anyway
[18:21] <Andeh> ikonia: I did six times. Ubuntu insists it be mounted!
[18:21] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: what happens when you try to connect?
[18:21] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv extract the files in that to /lib/firmware then do: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[18:21] <mehrab1131> ikonia: did u work with it before?
[18:21] <ikonia> Andeh: that doesn't sound right
[18:21] <Andeh> yup
[18:21] <ikonia> mehrab1131: I know many people who have installed it via the ubuntu package
[18:21] <s0u][ight> first the icon changes into like trying to connect but then failes
[18:21] <tp__> doh...I have to get used to that sudo thing
[18:21] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: i'm on a feisty machine with wireless working, but I need to do a reinstall (from scratch). the card is a wg311t I think
[18:22] <erUSUL> Andeh: umount the partitions under the feet of gparted (from a terminal)
[18:22] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, thats the firmware i always used with my bcm4311, but there may be better out there these days
[18:22] <tp__> just switched from openSUSE and this sudo thing is wierd
[18:22] <mehrab1131> ikonia:is it just like using an xampp server?
[18:22] <{Nathan}> _Lucretia_: is it a wg311v3?
[18:22] <s0u][ight> hmmm did it work? the firmware?
[18:22] <Andeh> erUSUL: Never mind, the problem was I was unmounting them from the terminal and from nautilus, it works if I do it from GParted
[18:22] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, what version of ubuntu do you need them for
[18:22] <ikonia> mehrab1131 no check out wordpress.org for details of how it all works
[18:22] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, always did for me before
[18:22] <tp__> s0u][ight are you on a HP dv* laptop?
[18:22] <s0u][ight> no hp G5002ea
[18:23] <_Lucretia_> {Nathan}: it doesn't really matter which card I have. what matters is that I need the madwifi-ng debs so I can install it without routing a cable around the house
[18:23] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: gutsy
[18:23] <tp__> same difference basically
[18:23] <s0u][ight> hmm :(
[18:23] <{Nathan}> _Lucretia_: ah, okay. I didn't know what the problem was. You can just download them from the repos, packages.ubuntu.org.
[18:23] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, then madwifi should have been installed by default if the card was detected
[18:23] <s0u][ight> just trying it since 2 days but the best thing is i can get signals
[18:24] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, try the firmware i linked you, my bcm4311 always worked with it
[18:24] <ConstyXIV> what's the easiest language/toolkit to pick up?
[18:24] <Smizzit> hi all, I've just excluded my admin account from the log in list, how do i log in to it now?
[18:24] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: I'm on fiesty, I want gutsy so I can install from dvd without a wired connection, get it now?
[18:24] <s0u][ight> i will give up if i can't do it
[18:24] <_Lucretia_> {Nathan}: thanks
[18:24] <{Nathan}> ConstyXIV: one that's modern? I'd say python is really nice and easy.
[18:24] <s0u][ight> does it work when there is allready a firmware?
[18:24] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, otherwise the package you need is linux-restricted-modules
[18:24] <{Nathan}> ConstyXIV: if you want to go oldschool, qbasic.
[18:24] <_Lucretia_> {Nathan}: url doesn't work
[18:24] <Bodsda> bazhang, im going now,.,.you get your wish finally,.,;~)
[18:24] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: thanks
[18:25] <{Nathan}> _Lucretia_: .com, sorry
[18:25] <tp__> I don't know if this works in ubuntu, but in SUSE install_bcm43xx_firmware automatically gets the firmware
[18:25] <s0u][ight> should i use ndiswrapper or bcm 43XX?
[18:25] <Joetheodd> Oh God, not qbasic. :P
[18:25] <tp__> then a simple modprobe bcm43xx as root installs it
[18:25] <ikonia> tp__ the firmware should be part of the restricted drivers manager
[18:25] <s0u][ight> tp__ don't have network connection in ubuntu
[18:25] <david> what keyboard layout is default on the ubuntu liveCD?
[18:25] <Bodsda> ybe
[18:25] <Bodsda> bye

[18:26] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:26] <s0u][ight> what after installing the firmware?
[18:26] <ADO_SK> azmjuysui  hjaibn
[18:26] <ADO_SK> sabnzhuajs
[18:26] <ADO_SK> aznhsbx
[18:26] <{Nathan}> Joetheodd: yeah, I did some VB too, and some java, but I hated java :p
[18:26] <ikonia> ADO_SK: please stop
[18:26] <david> I had an evil accident with password during install not matching the one now afterwards :/
[18:26] <tp__> after installing the firmware just type sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[18:26] <webwolf_27> {Nathan}, you'll be able to do more with C anyway. At least you didn't say visualbasic *puke*
[18:27] <tp__> s0u][ight, just google wl_apsta.o for the firmware
[18:27] <webwolf_27> {Nathan}, I wrote too soon
[18:27] <tp__> you'll have to fwcutter it to get the driver out though
[18:27] <{Nathan}> webwolf_27: actually, you'd be surprised at what you can do with freebasic. I never learned VB though, just tried it.
[18:27] <Pici> !offtopic | {Nathan} webwolf_27
[18:27] <ubotu> {Nathan} webwolf_27: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:27] <s0u][ight> got it allready
[18:27] <s0u][ight> so i'm off gonna try it
[18:27] <webwolf_27> sorry Pici
[18:28] <s0u][ight> first that thing about the fwcutter and firmware
[18:28] <muramasa> Hm, does anyone know why I can't explore folders on my mounted ntfs drive? I'm dualbooting xp/ubuntu but as soon as I try to enter i.e music folder of my windows partition, file browser closes and opens up in my home directory
[18:28] <MasterShrek> s0u][ight, the linke i sent you is the firmware already cut out, i posted it online so people could get it easier
[18:28] <s0u][ight> then sudo modprobe bcm43XX
[18:28] <phanatic> bye ikonia
[18:28] <MasterShrek> or cut it yourself
[18:28] <tp__> s0u][ight try this
[18:28] <phanatic> ill be back soon friend!!!!
[18:28] <tp__> click on administration > restricted drivers
[18:28] <ADO_SK> abhanj  mnja
[18:28] <ADO_SK> mkal  hma
[18:28] <tp__> your wlan driver should be in there
[18:28] <ikonia> ADO_SK: please stop
[18:28] <s0u][ight> tp__ i know how to do that
[18:28] <phanatic> bye ikonia
[18:28] <ADO_SK> hanuaiko
[18:28] <s0u][ight> i'm off be back if somethings wrong
[18:29] <Liono> how to do this - one os on the server....has accounts..... users as clients using on diferent machings. ?
[18:29] <Liono> each user has seperate account and seperate client machine. (making a net cafe)
[18:29] <s0u][ight> then i'll try ndisswrapper
[18:29] <tp__> kk, good luck
[18:29] <phanatic> g
[18:29] <david> shift + 4,8 and 9 should only be $, & and ( respectively in english right?
[18:29] <Andeh> OH NO
[18:30] <Cpudan80> david: 4 = $, 8 = *, 9 = ( on US keyboard
[18:30] <Pici> david: 8 = *
[18:30] <crdlb> david: 8 is * (7 is &)
[18:30] <Andeh> I think GParted screwed up the partitions, but the data should be there since it wasn't doing anything for linger than 2 seconds
[18:30] <Andeh> longeer
[18:30] <phanatic> bye ikonia
[18:30] <phanatic> bye ikonia
[18:30] <Andeh> longer*
[18:30] <Pici> phanatic: stop
[18:30] <maximilion_> Testing
[18:30] <Lartza_> what are ubuntu firewalls?
[18:30] <david> oh
[18:30] <ikonia> Lartza_: iptables is the default ubuntu firewall
[18:30] <ikonia> Lartza_: it's installed but doesn't start up or get configured by default
[18:30] <Cpudan80> !firestarter | Lartza_
[18:30] <ubotu> Lartza_: 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).
[18:30] <Andeh> so um, assuming the partition table is screwed up, how could I still recover the data on the hard disk?
[18:31] <ikonia> Andeh: boot the livecd ,  mount the disk and copy if off
[18:31] <phanatic> bye ikonia
[18:31] <Lartza_> is it on by default?
[18:31] <Lartza_> how can i add allowed port?
[18:31] <Andeh> ikonia: oh. cool. Um... it says I have 135 GB used... that's very bad, the partition was 100 GB before I resized to 150
[18:31] <ikonia> Lartza_: it's quite a complex setup
[18:32] <ikonia> Lartza_: the firewall is %100 open by default
[18:32] <Lartza_> how can i disable the firewall?
[18:32] <muramasa> Hm, I just noticed that I cant explore anything, if I dont right-click and choose "Open in a new window", otherwise File browser shuts down and restart in my home folder. Does anyone if this can be worked around?
[18:32] <Andeh> ikonia: So um, I should just use dd to copy it?
[18:32] <ikonia> Lartza_: you have to close things
[18:32] <ikonia> Andeh: why dd ? just boot the livecd and mount it
[18:32] <ikonia> Lartza_: there is no firewall enabled by default
[18:32] <hotmonkeyluv> how do I make beryl-manager start up when I start up my computer?
[18:32] <Andeh> ikonia: oh
[18:32] <Lartza_> but ubuntu wont let me use some ports
[18:32] <ikonia> hotmonkeyluv: beryl is dead, what version of ubuntu are you using
[18:32] <Seveas> hotmonkeyluv, you remove beryl and install compiz-fusion
[18:32] <ikonia> Lartza_: thats not ubuntu
[18:32] <Lartza_> or nat
[18:32] <Lartza_> firewall or nat
[18:32] <ikonia> Lartza_: thats your router
[18:32] <Lartza_> !
[18:33] <hotmonkeyluv> oh...
[18:33] <Lartza_> you mean my ADSL-modem?
[18:33] <ikonia> Lartza_: what ever is between you and the internet
[18:33] <Lartza_> ok
[18:33] <familyfriendly> hi
[18:33] <Lartza_> what would be an open prot to use
[18:33] <ikonia> Lartza_: ???? all ports are open
[18:33] <Lartza_> i cant use 80-90
[18:33] <TurtleOfDoom> !hello | familyfriendly
[18:33] <ubotu> familyfriendly: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[18:33] <Lartza_> they are used
[18:33] <ikonia> Lartza_: there is NO firewall enabled by default
[18:33] <MasterShrek>    !firewall
[18:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[18:34] <familyfriendly> what should I select in the 7.10 install to override the 7.4 install
[18:34] <hotmonkeyluv> ikonia, Seveas: I'm using ubuntu 7.04 and I like beryl (more than the built in comiz crap ubuntu came with)
[18:34] <Andeh> ikonia: PHEW! My files are all still there. How do I fix it?
[18:34] <Lartza_> and nat wont le me use 1234 or 8000 or 8303
[18:34] <Lartza_> if its nat
[18:34] <Seveas> hotmonkeyluv, upgrade to 7.10 for proper effects
[18:34] <ikonia> Andeh: copy files off, resize disk, copy files on
[18:34] <familyfriendly> I select the ext3 file system but it gives a error when I click forward
[18:34] <familyfriendly> I select format
[18:34] <hotmonkeyluv> Seveas: can't
[18:34] <familyfriendly> click forward
[18:34] <Pici> !enter | familyfriendly
[18:34] <Andeh> ikonia: okay. though we're talking about 100 GB of files here.
[18:34] <ubotu> familyfriendly: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[18:34] <profoak> Does anyone have a clue as to why when i try to install GTKPOD and it starts installing, it brings up the ELUA for vmware? i got it once before but couldn;t get it to go anywhere but now its in the way
[18:34] <pike_> familyfriendly: what error?
[18:35] <david> does the login screen somehow use a different keyboard layout?
[18:35] <ikonia> Andeh: ok - so don't copy off and complete the resize at your own risk
[18:35] <david> this is really evil
[18:35] <ikonia> david: shojldn't do
[18:35] <familyfriendly> no root file system is defined
[18:35] <ikonia> shoujldn't
[18:35] <ikonia> shouldn't
[18:35] <hotmonkeyluv> Seveas: there is a bug that causes the window title bars to take up 1/4 of my screen

[18:35] <david> very very weird
[18:35] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: is there a way I can grab the debs from fiesty and get the dependencies as well without having to do it by hand?
[18:35] <eth01> quite.
[18:35] <pike_> familyfriendly: you have to give it a mount point there should be a dropdown to set it as '/'
[18:36] <Andeh> ikonia: No, I resized it, how do I get it to show up in gnudge? I deleted the linux partitions as well so i can install in 64 bit, should I just install into the free space and hope grub will find the windows partition?
[18:36] <Andeh> ikonia: GRUB, not gnudge lol
[18:36] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, sudo apt-get install
[18:36] <yoluca> hi all
[18:36] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: what does that do?
[18:36] <_Lucretia_> oh hang ong
[18:36] <ikonia> Andeh ahhh I see, well your in a bit of a jam then as the linux partition /boot contains the menu.lst so without it grub won't work
[18:36] <yoluca> did anyone installed Sun Looking glass Desktop environment ?
[18:37] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: ideally, I'd do an upgrade, but I stupidly created a /boot partition but it's not big enough to do the update
[18:37] <familyfriendly> how would I go about recovering if I fuck up the install some how
[18:37] <Pici> !language | familyfriendly
[18:37] <ubotu> familyfriendly: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[18:37] <familyfriendly> or editing the boot menu to include vista
[18:37] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, That istalls that package and all dependancies automagicly
[18:37] <luca>  /server irc.tuttiliberi.biz
[18:37] <familyfriendly> sorry
[18:37] <ikonia> familyfriendly: that language is uncalled for and unwelcome
[18:37] <familyfriendly> sorry
[18:37] <Andeh> ikonia: hm. well the only thing left now is the windows partition, and I was planning on reinstalling Ubuntu into 64 bit mode today anyway. So if I just do that, it will find it?
[18:37] <pike_> familyfriendly: you can just boot again from livecd
[18:37] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, how big is your /boot?
[18:37] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: yeah, but (how many times?) I'm talking about a fresh install, where the only network adapter I have is wireless!!!!!!
[18:37] <Andeh> ikonia: (I deleted all the linux partits on purpose, after backing up the home dir of course)
[18:37] <familyfriendly> what about editing boot menu to include vista because it isnt picking it up like 7.4
[18:37] <ikonia> Andeh: if you install ubuntu again it will detect the windows partition and should write you a new menu.lst
[18:38] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, how big is your /boot?
[18:38] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: the /boot is a couple of meg, it was the first time I installed linux on a 64-bit
[18:38] <_Lucretia_> it was big enough for 32-bit just not for 64
[18:38] <bieb> unagi: your resolution issue fixed?
[18:38] <Andeh> ikonia: Okay, thanks! Can you give a plausible explanation for 135 GB being used after resizing the partition, though? It used to be 100 GB total size!
[18:38] <yoluca> i try to install Sun Looking glass desktop environment and i get the fallow error http://pastebin.ca/900437
[18:38] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, you could unmount /boot before the install, but becareful
[18:38] <ikonia> Andeh exteneded partition ? the resize borked so it doesn't know the real size ?
[18:38] <familyfriendly> meh installing now hope it works fine
[18:39] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, sorry before the upgrade
[18:39] <_Lucretia_> yeha
[18:39] <Andeh> ikonia: Uh... it's NTFS, and it resized it to 150 GB as I wanted, but now it says 135 GB of that is used!
[18:39] <_Lucretia_> what about merging the partitions? possible?
[18:39] <leeping> I'm getting the error "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly, can someone help me correct this?
[18:39] <familyfriendly> anyone know a good website with linux apps put into categories and such
[18:39] <ikonia> Andeh: probably just ubuntu not knowing the state of the disk
[18:40] <mehrab1131> I installed wordpress from the respiratory, now how should I use it?
[18:40] <pike_> leeping: i guess id rerun grub-install
[18:40] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, Sure, but you can also resize the partition next to /boot and giv /boot more space

[18:42] <mogli4fun> join tai07b1
[18:42] <mogli4fun> #tai07b1
[18:42] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, those are usually on any distro by default. coreutils (if I'm not mistaken) MUST be there
[18:42] <mehrab1131> I've installed wordpress from respiratories, now how should I use it?
[18:42] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: thought so
[18:42] <hotmonkeyluv> Seveas: I can't find Compiz-Fusion in the repos, do I have to do a compile/install?
[18:42] <Andeh> oh, one more question while I'm here: I'm reinstalling ubuntu now, but in my old install, the login screen resolution would be fine, as when I logged in, it would go down to just one lower setting, and I could turn it back up, but it reset to the lower one each time
[18:42] <Seveas> hotmonkeyluv, no, you need to upgrade to 7.10
[18:42] <hotmonkeyluv> Seveas: I do find compiz, and compiz-extras
[18:43] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: any thoughts on how I can get the required debs easily (including dependencies) using apt (for gutsy) from feisty?
[18:43] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: so I can burn a cd with em on
[18:43] <mehrab1131> any help?
[18:43] <hotmonkeyluv> Seveas: is it simple/possible/easy to downgrade back to 7.04 if the upgrade mucks up?
[18:43] <mogli4fun> hi, how can i join a channel?

[18:44] <mogli4fun> thx
[18:44] <familyfriendly> lets just hope both our installs dont screw up :)
[18:44] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, not right off hand, but I'm thinking
[18:44] <Andeh> familyfriendly: How encouraging :D
[18:44] <pike_> mogli4fun: /join #channel
[18:44] <ttt--> hi, what is the package called which makes switching desks look like rotating a cube?
[18:45] <Seveas> ttt--, compiz, it's installed by default
[18:45] <Seveas> ttt--, system -> preferences -> appeareance -> desktop effects
[18:45] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, an upgrade would be easier, but you'd have to do something about /boot
[18:45] <ttt--> ok thanks
[18:45] <mehrab1131> ikonia: Ive installed wordpress, but now how should I start with it?
[18:45] <chiwawa_42> I'm looking for any tip about netbooting the live cd. I'm not talking about the standard netinstall, I want to load vmlinuz, initrd.gz AND filesystem.squashfs via tftp. Can anyone tell me how to do that ?
[18:45] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, 150MB should be enough
[18:45] <nathan64> nickrud: you here?
[18:45] <ikonia> !wordpress > ikonia
[18:46] <familyfriendly> 59% done fingers crossed
[18:46] <chiwawa_42> May the live system get the squashfs image form anything else than a cd-rom (tftp, nfs, http)
[18:46] <chiwawa_42> ?
[18:46] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, you have to modify the initramfs scripts to grab filesystem.squashfs via tftp
[18:46] <ikonia> mehrab1131: you have to browse to where it was installed on your localhost via a browser and follow the install guide
[18:46] <Andeh> when I enter the mount points in the installer do I need a trailing slash?
[18:46] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, it's not impossible but you need to know what you're doing and it's way beyond what this channel can help you with :)
[18:46] <mehrab1131> ikonia: Ive asked others but no answer
[18:47] <ikonia> mehrab1131: you have to browse to where it was installed on your localhost via a browser and follow the install guide
[18:47] <Seveas> Andeh, you don't need them but they won't break things
[18:47] <ttt--> Seveas: there is on desktop effects in that menu :/
[18:47] <Seveas> ttt--, that'll do
[18:47] <muramasa> Anyone know what could be wrong when every directory I click makes file browser crash and restart in my home folder? Getting quite annoyed by rightclicking -> open in a new window :(
[18:47] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: thanks, that' what I was guessing about
[18:47] <Seveas> ttt--, the meny says 'Appearance'. The appearance applet has a 'desktop effects' tab
[18:48] <chiwawa_42> let's find out what to edit there...
[18:48] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: this is the right package for x86_64 right? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
[18:48] <Andeh> um... if I import accounts, does it copy over all my files?
[18:48] <nickrud> nathan64: I'm here, but pretty busy at work right this minute
[18:48] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, just a sec, I'll check
[18:48] <ttt--> Seveas: mine doesnt seem to have one
[18:49] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, dpkg -L initramfs-tools, you'll need to edit the main startup script to support grabbing-squashfs-over-tftp (it might be possible in an initramfs hook even, but I'm not sure)
[18:49] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: I'm surprised it's not called linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-x86_64, like the i386 version is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-i386
[18:49] <Seveas> ttt--, which version of ubuntu?
[18:49] <nathan64> nickrud: I just wanted to tell you that i got my ubuntu working. updating the kernel wasnt the only thing i had to do, I also had to flash my bios to the most recent version
[18:49] <ttt--> Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 04:59:50 UTC 2008

[18:49] <maximilion_> Hm, any way I can make a startup script for XChat?
[18:49] <bieb> unagi: you get the resolution problem fixed?
[18:49] <nickrud> nathan64: there's always something :) Glad you got it set up
[18:50] <ttt--> it's got a visual effects tab
[18:50] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: I have no ubuntu system running yet, therefore was thinking of manual edit, like a gzcat initramfs.gz | cp, and so on
[18:50] <unagi> no
[18:50] <AlexQ> So, after doing that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerTravelmate6292 , I have out-box sound, but at TravelMate 5710 ;D. Thx :).
[18:50] <unagi> i swear to god if i have to reinstall ubuntu just to fix my resolution, im done with linux
[18:50] <magnetron> hi! how do i encode to AAC with the Ubuntu version of ffmpeg?
[18:50] <nathan64> nickrud: I had to do some research, found out my dell has had problems with linux for a longgg time
[18:50] <{Nathan}> unagi: you don't
[18:50] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, I think generic is installed by default now. Can you send me the result of uname -r on then 64 bit machine
[18:50] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, that's much harder than installing ubuntu, tweaking the initramfs scripts and building a custom initramfs. Your choice though :)
[18:51] <unagi> nothing else has seemed to work {Nathan}
[18:51] <bieb> unagi are the nvidia restricted drivers showing as installed?
[18:51] <unagi> yes and running
[18:51] <{Nathan}> unagi: are you sure you have the right drivers?
[18:51] <unagi> and nvidia-settings runs
[18:51] <unagi> ......i guess
[18:51] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: the netinstall is broken and I have no blank CD left.. and some time to waste :p
[18:51] <bieb> and nvidia settings didnt fix it?
[18:51] <{Nathan}> unagi: what happens when you change your resolution in nvidia-settings
[18:51] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, :D
[18:51] <unagi> i imagine it will change to whatever i select, but 1440 x 900 isnt listed
[18:52] <Seveas> ttt--, ah, it's called 'Visual effects', not 'desktop effects' :)
[18:52] <Andeh> Hi. I have 4 GB of ram, and I'm running the x64 livecd. Should it show up as 2.9?

[18:52] <bieb> which model do you have again?
[18:52] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, that's feisty -- kernel naming scheme changed in gutsy
[18:52] <unagi> sv6000t
[18:52] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: yeah, but i don't have gutsy installed
[18:52] <unagi> dv6000t
[18:52] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, then you need the generic
[18:52] <pranith> hello, im not able to open any video file using mplayer. even when i open it with totem, the picture is jagged and not clear. But if i log out and log in again, it becomes normal. mplayer in terminal shows that it is not able to find free xvideo port and some other application might be using it. what should i do?
[18:52] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: do you know about any exhaustive doc about avaible hooks in the livecd' initramfs ?
[18:53] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, the sourcecode.
[18:53] <ttt--> Seveas: how do i make the cube rotate?
[18:53] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: see my comment to Seveas to see if that makes a difference
[18:53] <Andeh> ttt--: Press the middle mouse button on the desktop.
[18:53] <Seveas> ttt--, install compizconfig-settings-manager, that gives you an 'Advanced' button on that tab for maximum tweaking
[18:53] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: got it... It may be long and painfull
[18:53] <ttt--> oh thanks
[18:53] <magnetron> Andeh: when you run ubuntu is run from the LiveCD, it will store a copy of ubuntu in RAM. when you run Ubuntu from your harddisk, this is not necessary.
[18:53] <Andeh> I have 4 GB ram. Why does it only show up as 3GB in the BIOS?
[18:54] <bieb> unagi look on the bottom sticker, there may be an additional model number dv6010 or something
[18:54] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, on feisty you don't want the 2.6.22 kernels anyway
[18:54] <unagi> its dv6000
[18:54] <webwolf_27> _Lucretia_, in order to use linux-restricted-mudules-<version> you need linux-image-<version> installed
[18:54] <Seveas> Andeh, either your bios supports no more or has some compatibility flags set that hide the 4th gb
[18:54] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: I'm trying to get enough packages ready for an upgrade to gutsy, but i need the wireless drivers so i can actually get online
[18:54] <magnetron> Andeh: the slot you put the memory in may affect your results.
[18:54] <bieb> ok.. I was curious because mine says dv9000  then in another spot on the sticker it says dv9620us
[18:54] <_Lucretia_> webwolf_27: yeah, i know that
[18:55] <Andeh> magnetron: I have 4 slots, each filled with a 1 GB card.
[18:55] <_Lucretia_> is anyone actually reading what I'm typing here?
[18:55] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, apt-get -d dist-upgrade -- that'll download all packages without installing them
[18:55] <Jarrow> howdy
[18:55] <webwolf_27> so time to put the kids to bed. Sorry if I wasn't much help
[18:55] <magnetron> Andeh: not all the same speed? DDR type?
[18:55] <Andeh> magnetron: All identical. DDR2
[18:55] <Jarrow> i am curious, why when i drag my windows is it choppy, like it's tearing?
[18:56] <magnetron> Andeh: you may have damaged it. run memtest from the grub menu.
[18:56] <chiwawa_42> Seveas: do you know if the live ernel has nfs_root enable ?
[18:56] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: nah, didn't do anything
[18:56] <Seveas> chiwawa_42, it has not
[18:56] <Andeh> magnetron: Okay, I will. I'm installing ubuntu right now actually.
[18:56] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, you need to point your /etc/apt/sources.list to gutsy first :)
[18:56] <chiwawa_42> was just wondering :D
[18:57] <familyfriendly> what is gutsy
[18:57] <Andeh> oh. The Ubuntu installer said it needed to unmount the /migrationassistant or something, so I told it to go back and try again, and now it's gone. The installer is gone.
[18:57] <Pirate_Hunter> familyfriendly: google is your friend :D
[18:57] <roccity> gutsy is the new version of ubuntu
[18:58] <boris_> hi
[18:58] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: do I add to the sources.list or change the lines from feisty to gutsy?
[18:58] <Pici> !gutsy | familyfriendly
[18:58] <ubotu> familyfriendly: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu.

[18:58] <boris_> ive got a problem, Savage : Battle for Newerth randomly crashes. My screen turns black, but sound continues. Monitor reports no signal received, but computer is still running. I have to choice but to forcefuly restart computer. I got Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6 and am using Radeon driver. Please help me.
[18:59] <boris_> no choice*
[18:59] <^^bruxo> oi
[18:59] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: where do they get downloaded to?
[18:59] <Andeh> The ubuntu installer finished copying files, then gave me an error unmounting some /migrationassistant, and now it dissapeared. How do i get it to come back and finish installing grub etc?
[18:59] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:00] <Andeh> okay, seriously. The installer is gone!
[19:00] <familyfriendly> 94% hope it detects vista
[19:00] <littlepinkdot> Does Win2000/Xp/Vista replace the MBR? If I have Linux on my hardrive, will either/all/neither of the three replace the MBR?
[19:00] <Andeh> It didn't ask me to reboot or anything, it just disappeared
[19:00] <Seveas> littlepinkdot, they all will
[19:00] <Andeh> :/
[19:00] <Seveas> !grub | littlepinkdot, this is useful
[19:00] <Pici> Andeh: Try your ctrl-alt-f1-f9 keys
[19:00] <ubotu> littlepinkdot, this is useful: 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
[19:01] <littlepinkdot> Thanks, trying to prove that to my teacher...he says it 2000/xp doesnt.
[19:01] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: still nothing downloaded
[19:01] <boris_> ive got a problem, Savage : Battle for Newerth randomly crashes. My screen turns black, but sound continues. Monitor reports no signal received, but computer is still running. I have no choice but to forcefuly restart computer. I got Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6 and am using Radeon driver. Please help me.
[19:01] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, pastebin your sources.list and the complete output of apt-get
[19:01] <ikonia> boris_: ubuntu ultimate is not an ubuntu product and not supported here
[19:01] <Andeh> Pici:  nothing in them
[19:01] <Pici> !derivatives > boris_ (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[19:02] <Andeh> my home directory is pretty empty...
[19:02] <liran> hey all
[19:02] <boris_> sorry then
[19:02] <liran> i just finished to install mysql 6 alpha from source
[19:02] <liran> but i cant start mysql server
[19:02] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: sources.list http://phpfi.com/296080
[19:02] <liran> and i cant see why
[19:02] <Andeh> Pici: Should I just reboot and see if it works?
[19:02] <liran> anyone can help ?
[19:02] <liran> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[19:02] <liran> this is the error i get
[19:02] <ikonia> liran: thats nothing to do with ubuntu - you've built your own source product from an alpha product
[19:02] <Seveas> liran, ask mysql for support, we don't support alpha software installed from source
[19:02] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: output http://phpfi.com/296081
[19:02] <ikonia> liran: the socket file is created through an init script.
[19:03] <subtle> hey, is there a command line ftp tool that lets me recursive chmod?
[19:03] <subtle> the standard ftp tool cant do it.
[19:03] <boris_> ikonia: is there any ubuntu "derivate" that includes more software (like fedora respins) and is supported ?
[19:03] <ikonia> boris_: everyting on ubuntuultimate is available on ubuntu
[19:03] <boris_> ikonia: i know, but i need a ready to go system
[19:03] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, one thing unrelated to this: you're missing the -updates repo for universe and multiverse
[19:03] <ikonia> boris_: ubuntu is ready to go
[19:03] <boris_> i dont have time for updating and installing
[19:04] <marshall> can anybody suggest a good note taking application? I want something that is convenient for taking notes in-class
[19:04] <ikonia> boris_: then thats not ubuntu's problem
[19:04] <zackyramone> Hello. I have a problem with an ntfs partition, when i delete files from nautilus no space is freed
[19:04] <boris_> ikonia: ok ok, just asking
[19:04] <Jack_Sparrow> boris_: but you do have time to go to someone else to try and fix it?
[19:04] <ikonia> boris_: no problem
[19:04] <Seveas> _Lucretia_, anyway, I think I forgot to tell you to do apt-get update before doing apt-get -d dist-upgrade :)
[19:04] <boris_> Jack_Sparrow: what ?
[19:05] <magnetron> hi! how do i encode videos with AAC audio?
[19:05] <FSHero> Hi everyone: I have been using KMail up until now, but I want to use Thunderbird also. I would like them both to share the same address book. Is this possible/
[19:05] <lgc> marshall, with kdissert you can make mindmaps.
[19:05] <kawazu> Does any one know how to make my left monitor ( yes im using two) the left monitor, ubuntu now thinks its on my right side but i want to be able to drag my mouse to it from my right monitor to the left side of it and over to the left monitor
[19:05] <FSHero> I was thinking of making a soft link to the KMail address book, in Thunderbird's directory. Would that work?
[19:05] <marshall> lgc: ill check it out. it would be nice to find a good gtk/gnome app
[19:06] <_Lucretia_> Seveas: which repos?
[19:06] <boris_> !hardy
[19:06] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[19:06] <lgc> marshall, you don't have to install the whole KDE to have access to KDE apps.
[19:06] <fiXXXerMet> Anyone have experience with Ubuntu 7.10 and a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server?
[19:06] <zackyramone> Hello. I have a problem with an ntfs partition, when i delete files from nautilus no space is freed
[19:06] <marshall> lgc: i know
[19:07] <magnetron> zackyramone: empty the trashbin.
[19:07] <zackyramone> the problem is that the files are not going in the trash bin
[19:09] <lgc> marshall, I just found out there's some vym app you can also use. Do 'apt-cache show vym'.
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone: Files you delete as root go into a different place
[19:09] <marshall> lgc: ok
[19:09] <MasterShrek> fiXXXerMet, youd be better off asking a specific question than if someone has experience with a particular machine
[19:10] <mzanfardino> can someone direct me to a site that covers how to configure the frequency of fschk at boot?
[19:10] <nano_> is Flash fixed yet?
[19:10] <Zombine> Anyone know where I can find drivers for an Intel 945GM Accelerator?
[19:10] <wolfman2323> HI.. whe could i find video tutorials for ubuntu
[19:10] <wolfman2323> thanks
[19:10] <Zombine> !intel | Zombine
[19:10] <Zombine> !driver | Zombine
[19:10] <Zombine> !drivers | Zombine
[19:10] <Jack_Sparrow> mzanfardino: I have that in my notes.. one sec
[19:10] <MasterShrek> Zombine, afaik you shouldnt have to go looking for drivers for that
[19:10] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow, im not deleting as root and the files are disappearing..i dont know what to do and the partition is full when it should have atleast 4gb free
[19:11] <mzanfardino> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[19:11] <d7> woooo ubuntu
[19:11]  * mzanfardino waiting
[19:11] <fiXXXerMet> I am trying to install 7.10 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  The 2950 has a Perf 5/i Raid controller, though I've deleted all of the virtual disks, so that I can use software raid.  Problem is that the ubuntu setup does not detect any disks.
[19:11] <MasterShrek> Zombine, checked the restricted drivers manager?
[19:11] <Zombine> hrm...  Apparently I need to update to do anything neat in Wine
[19:11] <Zombine> Will do.  Thanks
[19:11] <lgc> marshall, and planfacile generates a document from a mindmap. 'apt-cache search mind | grep map'.
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> mzanfardino:  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override
[19:12] <ubd> how can i add myself to the sudoers file
[19:12] <Zombine> Do you know the console command to bring it up? (Not using GNOME or KDE atm)
[19:12] <elrond_> server irc.tuttiliberi.biz
[19:12] <PriceChild> ubd, you don't
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone: look for a .trash-user on the ntfs
[19:12] <PriceChild> ubd, add yourself to the admin group
[19:12] <elrond_> server irc.tuttiliberi.biz
[19:12] <wolfman2323> hi.. is there anyone who knows a site that i could download.. ubuntu video tutorials?
[19:12] <Zombine> ubd: IF you need to, you can run "sudo visudo" or something like that
[19:12] <Pici> elrond_: stop. /server irc.whatever.com
[19:12] <Jarr0w> Does anyone know why there is Tearing/choppiness when I frag my windows, the transition is not smooth?
[19:12] <Zombine> then add your name and like "ALL (ALL)"
[19:12] <MasterShrek> Zombine, sudo apt-get install 915resolution    (appears to have support for 945G)
[19:13] <mzanfardino> fiXXXerMet: if you are relying on the BIOS to provide you with raid a'la SATA BIOS forget it.
[19:13] <MasterShrek> Zombine, aptitude    is a cli frontend to apt
[19:13] <ubd> You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
[19:13] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow, where can i find that?
[19:13] <Zombine> MasterShrek Have already.  But just trying to run DX9 apps on Wine
[19:13] <samuelsov> #koumbit
[19:13] <MasterShrek> Zombine, interesting, not really sure, i woudl ask in #winehq
[19:14] <fiXXXerMet> mzanfardino: What do you mean?  I don't want the BIOS doing any raid - I just want to be able to access the physical disks so that I can software raid them.
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone: Let me try to catch up..  files you deleted off the ntfs correct?
[19:14] <ptn107> what's a good wysiwyg web page editor
[19:14] <MasterShrek> fiXXXerMet, soudns like your hard driver controller(s) are not being recognized
[19:14] <fiXXXerMet> Aye
[19:14] <xmb> Hello. When I ssh into my ubuntu box and open vim, for some reason tab doesn't work to autocomplete filenames and such. It just outputs ^I instead. Anyone got a clue on why this is happening?
[19:14] <Andeh> how do I install grub to MBR and tell it to auto recognize windows without installing ubuntu? i'm on livecd now
[19:14] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow: yes, i deleted them through nautilus not through the terminal
[19:15] <MasterShrek> xmb, tab completion isnt available in vim afaik
[19:15] <Jarr0w> Does anyone know why there is Tearing/choppiness when I drag my windows, the transition is not smooth? it almost looks like a Vsync issue?
[19:15] <fiXXXerMet> MasterShrek: It user a perc 5/i controller
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone: and they were on the ntfs partition correct
[19:15] <xmb> MasterShrek: That would explain it. -.- Thanks.
[19:15] <MasterShrek> fiXXXerMet, not totally sure what hardware is supported and what isnt, i would google it
[19:15] <maximilion_> testing
[19:15] <MasterShrek> Jarr0w, do you have drivers installed for you gfx card?
[19:16] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[19:16] <Jarr0w> i am running at native res on my LCD using the proprietary Nvidia drivers
[19:16] <aliquando> good evening

[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> zackyramone: Use nautilus, browser to the ntfs drive use ctrl-h to show hidden and look for a .Trash folder
[19:17] <Andeh> how do i install grub to the mbr?
[19:17] <Crusader_Tech> well the guys in #vbox got me running windows inside Ubuntu.  Inching ever closer to migrating to Ubuntu.
[19:17] <zackyramone> Jack_Sparrow: ah ok thank you very much you saved my day :D
[19:17] <Guerra> Andeh, which OS's are you multibooting?
[19:17] <MasterShrek> zackyramone, if you want something to be deleted totally, and not moved to a trash bin or whatever, hold shift when you hit delete

[19:18] <Crusader_Tech> Does anyone have thoughts on running ubuntu 32bit vs 64 bit, as long as my hardware works in 64bit?
[19:18] <Guerra> Andeh: You gonna do fresh installs?
[19:18] <_elemental> will ekiga allow you to connect to windows users using netmeeting?
[19:18] <Andeh> Guerra: Now, at the very least I need windows to work. I have 2 years experience with ubuntu but it went wrong this time
[19:19] <pike_> solexious: mount -o loop file.iso /media/somedir
[19:19] <magnetron> MasterShrek: those links say nothing about encoding video.
[19:19] <auli> Hi! for Ubuntu 6.06 (LTS), are newer versions of common packages available?
[19:19] <Andeh> Guerra: All I need is for GRUB to work. How do I install just GRUB?
[19:19] <Guerra> Andeh: Are you repairing the MBR or gonna fresh install?
[19:19] <Guerra> Okay
[19:19] <MasterShrek> Crusader_Tech, hardware is not the issue on 64 bit linux machines, the main problem is flash and java, although they are really pretty good these days i afaik
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: fixmbr will get you working windows
[19:19] <Guerra> do any of your OS's boot up?

[19:21] <Guerra> Andeh: What kind of hard drive, IDE, SATA? Which version of Windows? Is it just Ubuntu and Windows? Are they both installed on the same hard drive?
[19:21] <MasterShrek> Andeh, put a windows install disk in your drive, boot it like you were going to install windows, but enter the recovery console when prompted to, when you get to a command line type: fixmbr

[19:22] <david> no wonder the passwords didn't work
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> linduxed: std iptables are enough
[19:22] <_elemental> is there anyway for me on linux to connect to a windows netmeeting session?
[19:22] <Andeh> Guerra: Up until 15 minutes ago I had Windows XP and Ubuntu, then I wanted to make the WinXP partition a bit bigger and reinstall Ubuntu as 64 bit, but everything messed up and now I have the working resized windows partition except grub gives error 17 on bootup. Ubuntu installer died 99% of the way through, leaving me with the old broken GRUB.
[19:22] <david> atleast it's the only conclusion I can come up with
[19:23] <magnetron> MasterShrek: tried it, didn't help. ffmpeg says aac is a "unsupported format" even when the man page says ffmpeg supports aac
[19:23] <linduxed> Guerra: Jack_Sparrow: thats what i thought, thanks
[19:23] <projektdotnet> ok i'm having a sound issue on my Inspiron 1420
[19:23] <Guerra> Andeh: Okay. Do the fixmbr thing with a windows boot disk. You'll be able to boot into XP. Then just reinstall Ubuntu and install the GRUB.
[19:23] <solexious> [Q] Is there a list of linux programs equizelent to windows ones to help me move over?
[19:23] <MasterShrek> magnetron, if i remember correctly, ffmpeg has to be compiled with aac support, apparently the ubuntu package of it wasnt compiled in such a fashion
[19:24] <Guerra> Andeh: You have to do fixmbr in the DOS command line.
[19:24] <Andeh> Guerra: That's great, Where do I get a windows boot disk?
[19:24] <Guerra> Whoa. That's so cool. My laptop just slowly faded when I wasn't using it. Sexxxy.
[19:24] <samsonite> wtf this chat room is frantic..
[19:24] <magnetron> MasterShrek: that sux. should i contact the package maintainer?
[19:24] <Guerra> Andeh: Use your XP cd.
[19:24] <MasterShrek> magnetron, have you added the medibuntu repositories? its possible the ffmpeg package in there has aac support
[19:24] <redmonkey> www.bootdisk.com
[19:24] <chaosrl> would it create any problems if i uninstalled preinstalled programs in ubuntu? for example, since i use thunderbird, can i just remove evolution without any consequences?
[19:24] <auli> can someone point me to what LTS (Long Term Support) exactly means??!
[19:24] <Andeh> Guerra: I know. I don't have it. Any other options?
[19:24] <magnetron> MasterShrek: nice idea. thx, i'll try it

[19:25] <projektdotnet> my sound will stop responding at random and I have to restart X to get it back, any ideas? It gets real annoying to re-start all my running programs every time my sound starts working
[19:25] <auli> tritium: what does support mean.. will packages of new version of say firefox be available?
[19:25] <samsonite> ok ok but its all abit much i just want some help
[19:25] <Andeh> Guerra: Tried it. Link works! Which one do I need?
[19:25] <Guerra> projektdotnet: Which sound card?
[19:25] <chaosrl> auli, versions without LTS are only supported before the next one comes out
[19:25] <projektdotnet> guerra: hold on lemmie grab lspci output
[19:25] <ompaul> !ask | samsonite (do it all in one line and sit back)
[19:25] <ubotu> samsonite (do it all in one line and sit back): Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:25] <Guerra> Andeh: Any of them that will boot into DOS.
[19:26] <tritium> auli: it means security and major bug fixes.  Not necessarily newer versions...
[19:26] <auli> tritium: thanks
[19:26] <solexious> [Q] Is there a list of linux programs equizelent to windows ones to help me move over?
[19:26] <samsonite> ok
[19:26] <samsonite> so
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> samsonite: I understand you want ubuntu on your tablet...  but I have not seen many people get those functioning correctly
[19:26] <tritium> !repeat | auli

[19:26] <yoluca> i try to install Sun Looking glass desktop environment and i get the fallow error http://pastebin.ca/900437
[19:26] <Guerra> projektdotnet: Have you installed the linux driver for it? Is it a laptop or desktop?
[19:27] <Andeh> Guerra: I'm pretty sure ubuntu installs GRUB automatically at the end of the install, so isn't there a command to do it?
[19:27] <MasterShrek> !hda | projektdotnet
[19:27] <bebraw> solexious, is there something specific you are looking for?
[19:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:27] <Guerra> Andeh: Not really. You just have to configure the GRUB.
[19:27] <MasterShrek> Guerra, doubltful hell have to install a driver for it
[19:27] <auli> is using 7.10 on a machine with 256 MB ram advisable? (got it) would anybody suggest using 6.06 instead? the purpose is office work only
[19:27] <Andeh> Guerra: How would I do that?
[19:27] <solexious> bebraw: got a bit of a list, didnt want to spam it all
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: If you read the link I gave you eralier it tells how to reinstall just the grub and mbr
[19:27] <MasterShrek> !hdaintel | projektdotnet
[19:27] <ubotu> projektdotnet: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:27] <projektdotnet> guerra: yes it has been working just fine for the past few months but randomly stops responding to any sound programs
[19:27] <Guerra> Andeh: I love the GRUB. It is yummy. It gives you the options to configure it usually. Sometimes it just autodetects. XP is pretty good at being detected. VISTA is a pain.
[19:27] <samsonite> i have ubuntu functioning up to a point on my LG C1 express duo... i just dont understand the ubuntuforums terminal window prompts
[19:28] <david> the grub didn't like XFS :P
[19:28] <ompaul> auli, I would suggest that another 256megs of ram would make it much more functional, and I would use 7.10 on that
[19:28] <Guerra> Andeh: You know how horrible it was setting up triple boot for Ubuntu, XP and Vista? God...
[19:28] <Andeh> lol
[19:28] <david> then again, question would be why you'd try it with XFS :)
[19:28] <Guerra> It was the most insane procedure, ever.
[19:28] <auli> ompaul: my situation is such that i can not procure more RAM... these are for many lab PCs
[19:28] <bebraw> solexious, if you google using phrase windows linux equivalent you get some
[19:28] <Guerra> it was like, install vista, install ubuntu, install XP, reinstall ubuntu.
[19:29] <Guerra> Piece of garbage vista. only use it for Crysis.
[19:29] <bebraw> solexious, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software seems ok to me
[19:29] <david> auli: vm swappiness 100? then just go through the services usage
[19:29] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: So you're saying I either need to download the 600 MB alternate install CD, or a grub boot disk? I mean I'm on the liveCD right now, can't I do it from here?!
[19:29] <Guerra> projektdotnet: Hmmm...
[19:29] <auli> ompaul: I've heard that 7.10 is a (tad bit) slow :) .. the machines presently have FC2
[19:29] <samsonite> i've even gone to root user. now i'm lost
[19:29] <Guerra> Andeh: Sure you can.
[19:29] <MasterShrek> partition it correctly before installing any of the three, and you should be able to just install one after another (ubuntu last of course)
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: I am saying read the link on grub
[19:29] <kahrytan> auli->  then try xubuntu
[19:29] <Andeh> Never mind lol
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Andeh: I NEVER said anything about the alt cd
[19:30] <ompaul> auli, then what I would do is this, install the full o/s on it, and turn off X and give one box the job of being a server and have it serve out "xdmcp"; on the client end you script up "X :0 -query serverName" this will allow you beef up a couple of the boxes so they act as servers
[19:30] <auli> kahrytan: we will mostly have people less familiar with linux working on them
[19:30] <Guerra> MasterShrek: I wish. Trust me it wasn't that easy. The problem is that VISTA won't boot if it detects another OS. Which is quite tricky
[19:30] <projektdotnet> guerra: it works fine it just randomly doesn't respond to sound requests anymore and to fix it I have to restart (ctrl+alt+backspace) to get it to respond again
[19:30] <KaiForce> I use a laptop with an external monitor.  Some apps (ie. Firefox) maximize to the laptop screen size - any way to fix that?
[19:30] <Andeh> Jack_Sparrow: The link does. Never mind. What does this mean? Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[19:30] <Guerra> sometimes vista will auto delete GRUB and do a fixmbr by it's own.
[19:30] <Guerra> hate vista.
[19:30] <kahrytan> auli->  So. Xubuntu uses xfce instead of genome.
[19:30] <Andeh> It does, I mounted it two seconds ago
[19:31] <Guerra> Andeh: That happened to me. I have a forum post about it somewhere. THAT exact error. One sec lemme find it
[19:31] <auli> kahrytan: i'll do that one machine and get some feedback from users
[19:31] <MasterShrek> kahrytan, yes, but its gnome not genome :)
[19:31] <kahrytan> MasterShrek->  doh
[19:31] <quaal> does anyone know how to use umask? i set it to 002, to allow new created files/folders to have 775 permissions. ufnortunately the new files it is creating are still coming out as 755
[19:31] <auli> ompaul: that makes sense but requires a lot of effort? we don't have a machine that can handle jobs from say 5 machines..
[19:31] <quaal> magically, umask has somehow set itself back to 022
[19:31] <kahrytan> auli->  or  try all 3 live cds and find out which runs best
[19:31] <tRSS> how do ubuntu kernel sources, because one my applications is failing to compile, because it can't find the linux sources?

[19:37] <magnetron> Bodsda: both xvid and divx is mpeg4 compatible. you can play all the divx files with the mpeg4 codecs

[19:37] <Jack_Sparrow> np

[19:42] <_Oz_> are there any known issues with why DeVeDe and/or gnomebaker would choke on xViD or DivX movies?

[19:44] <Andeh> Guerra: Mine gets detected fine. How do I tell grub to reinstall?
[19:44] <Pici> shortcircuit: add a line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf that says:  prepend domain-name-servers ip.ad.dd.r, ip.ad.d.r;
[19:44] <tez> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but it hangs during the discovery of network hardware as there aren't drivers for the RTL8139 on the install cd, so I can't get past that point. Is there any way I can install ubuntu, or another distro that has the drivers? :S
[19:44] <boogz> sudo update-grub or something like
[19:44] <Guerra> Andeh: Before you install GRUB, boot to DOS, type fixmbr so windows will boot, boot into windows, make sure its fine and dandy
[19:44] <Guerra> Andeh: then reinstall Ubuntu
[19:45] <Guerra> Andeh: and it'll do GRUB for ya
[19:45] <piju> liran, try google it :)
[19:45] <_Oz_> any special instructions for installing nero under wine?
[19:45] <shortcircuit> Pici: I already added "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1" yesterday, to try to get it to point to my localhost bind.
[19:45] <piju> any girls here ?
[19:45] <petengy> hi to all

[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: next time, boot live cd and at start or install hit F6 then before the -- on the command line add noapic and acpi=off and see if the sata dont show up
[19:45] <Andeh> Guerra: Just did that. It got stuck around 99%, told me to close anything that might be using /migrationassistant then press continue, so I pressed continue then it dissapeared and never came back, so then I came here and started talking with you/

[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np Welcome to ubuntu
[19:51] <chaosrl> does anyone know a fix for the problem of gnumeric and OOspreadsheet crashing when i save? both of them just close when i save (thus not saving any changes), OO goes to document recovery
[19:52] <piju> Jack_Sparrow, nvm
[19:52] <Guerra> boris_: I am never, never, never going to buy ATI ever again. I trusted them and bought this piece of crap 2900 PRO when I should have got a 8800 GT.
[19:52] <vipaca> Can anyone help me with sparc?
[19:52] <TuxOtaku> so has anyone heard about this new kernel exploit?
[19:52] <mzanfardino> ! ask | vipaca
[19:52] <ubotu> vipaca: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:52] <Guerra> That's what happens when I buy Canadian instead of buying what's good. Piece of crap ATI. EGH
[19:52] <akorn> anybody know why ubuntu still does that "drum roll" sound when i login, even though i've disabled all system sounds...?
[19:52] <boris_> Guerra: i got HD2600 Pro. had to put back Radeon 9550.
[19:52] <vipaca> Jack_Sparrow can you help me fix my nic problem?
[19:52] <saik0> Is there a GUIfied way to copy files and preserve timestamps?
[19:52] <mzanfardino> just out of curiousity, how is it ATI's problem if you bought the wrong card?
[19:53] <boris_> Guerra: what was the problem ? card's strenght or drivers ?
[19:53] <vipaca> well when I plug in the cables no lights turn on
[19:53] <linduxed> akorn: you have to disable that in the gdm settings
[19:53] <puff> piju: Hm, changed to us.archive.ubuntu.com and now it seems to not be able to find anything.
[19:53] <vipaca> when I type ifconfig I see eth0
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: Here are my notes on getting ati to work.. read through and ask any questions that come up  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55785/
[19:53] <linduxed> akorn: system - administration - login window
[19:53] <piju> puff, try archive.ubuntu.com
[19:53] <boogz> testing irssi...ignore
[19:54] <vipaca> is it possible that the driver is wrong?
[19:54] <Pici> boogz: try ##testing for testing.
[19:54] <Guerra> boris_: Dude, seriously, it's so annoying. The worst thing about ATI is they make the same card and give it two different names and price points. You know what the difference is between the 2900 pro and the XT? The box and the price. You can flash the 2900 pro to be EXACTLY like the XT.
[19:54] <boogz> kk
[19:54] <piju> puff, i think everybody is updating to a new kernel, so the server is bz now
[19:54] <chaosrl> anyone?
[19:54] <mzanfardino> vipaca: what are the results of your ifconfig?
[19:54] <Guerra> Jack_Sparrow: Appreciated.

[19:54] <paul__> thx
[19:55] <Guerra> mzanfardino: All of ATI cards are wrong cards. They are garbage. Waste of money.
[19:55] <linduxed> chaosrl: cant help you on that one, try googling it, as well as asking at another time
[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: I have a 7500 radeon here that works great.. :)
[19:55] <vipaca> http://pastie.caboo.se/151103
[19:55] <Guerra> mzanfardino: Doesn't matter which one I buy. 3850, 3870, 2900, 2600, 1950, they all suck compared to Nvidia in quality, drivers, support, warranty and pricing.
[19:55] <boris_> Guerra: there's difference between being angry on card's strenght or being angry on drivers. I'm angry on drivers, you are angry on card's strenght
[19:55] <chaosrl> linduxed: thanks, google isn't yielding much as of now. i might try the forums, i guess
[19:55] <Guerra> Jack_Sparrow: That thing is medieval, no offence.
[19:56] <mzanfardino> Guerra: sounds like a strong opinion, yes, but a bit thin on facts.  nm though, if it's a personal preference issue, stick with it.
[19:56] <Guerra> Jack_Sparrow: When I pay 300 for a card, I want quality.
[19:56] <linduxed> chaosrl: forums i think is always the best solution
[19:56] <akorn> Guerra you should use craigslist ;)

[19:56] <ania> hey
[19:56] <ania> jestu
[19:56] <Guerra> mzanfardino: It's fact that ATI drivers suck. It's fact that on the high end, Nvidia is better. The only thing ATI cards are good for is for watching HD movies on WINDOWS.

[19:57] <sam1_> ubotu please guide me to a beginners room

[19:57] <vipaca> this is the result of lspci
[19:57] <genii> Jack_Sparrow: I still have a PCI AIW 7500 I'm fond of :)
[19:57] <boris_> Guerra: strange. i was able to play Crysis on low settings with HD2600pro. on windoze, of course
[19:58] <Guerra> ATI/AMD should learn to support their cards. Their whole "we are penguin friendly" is a hoax. Pure garbage. Jack_Sparrow: Do you have any experience with the 2900 pro/xt on linux?
[19:58] <elfman84> i am having a issue getting a second HDD i installed and partioned mounted and showing up as a drive under compter any ideas?
[19:58] <boris_> Jack_Sparrow: or perhaps HD2600Pro
[19:58] <boris_> ?
[19:58] <Guerra> boris_: Yeah of course, but even a 7600 GT could do that, and get better performance.
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: Sorry, I am smarter than that...  Big Teasing Grin...
[19:58] <nhyu> For some reason there are certain apps in gnome that won't work .... or lag.... kinda like they not refresh when I run them. When I combine Rhythmbox with Amsn, this happens... they get white with borders but no content. I installed KDE recentlly, has this something to do. Is there a way to reset gnome?
[19:58] <xmb> For anyone interested, I solved my problem with vi. Apparantly there is a filename completion when you open a file with :e, but it doesn't give you a bash-style menu if there are several completions that match what you currently have typed. For a bash-style completion you'll need to use ":set wildmode=longest,list" which will tab to the longest unique completion, and provide a list on the...
[19:58] <xmb> ...next tab. Happy vimming.
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> nhyu: Are you running kde4?
[19:59] <vipaca> given no lights when I plug it in I would think driver error.
[19:59] <boris_> Guerra: the problem is, i live in a small country and have AGP. so there isnt really big choice of cards
[19:59] <Guerra> I had consumer loyalty to ATI because I loved my x800 card and I wanted to buy Canadian. I just recently put Ubuntu on, just a few months ago. I had ran RedHat and SuSe before though
[19:59] <vipaca> Is the 'Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet' supported
[19:59] <sam1_> ffs hellllllllllllllllllllllp
[19:59] <nhyu> Jack_Sparrow:  I'm not sure if it was 4 .. though it had Dolphin, it was the KDE in the repositories
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme | sam1_
[19:59] <ubotu> sam1_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[20:00] <Guerra> boris_: I understand. I live in Canada, the freaking country that makes ATI and I hate them. Haha. Next card will be an Nvidia.
[20:00] <boogz> vipaca: have you tried the restricted driver installer?
[20:00] <boris_> Jack_Sparrow and Guerra : http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=941
[20:00] <squeaks> hello, my laptops built-in trackpoint/pad have quit moving the mouse, but external usb mouse does. Is there a kernel module I could reload? What can I look at to try to understand where the problem is coming from?
[20:00] <sam1_> ubotoisaschool marm
[20:00] <vipaca> boogz: no whats this?
[20:00] <Pici> sam1_: ubotu is a bot.
[20:01] <Lettuc3> Guerra you're a bit stuck though if the only laptop you could lay your hands on had ATI inside it like i was. really annoyed at that, but couldn't get out of it.
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> nhyu: You might get better answers in #Kubuntu or #Kubuntu-kde4
[20:01] <sam1_> thx 4 your ehlp.
[20:01] <vipaca> does this seem like a driver issie to you all or am I making that up?
[20:01] <sam1_> help
[20:01] <nhyu> Jack_Sparrow:
[20:01] <nhyu> ok thanks
[20:01] <sam1_> its been bery revealing\
[20:01] <Pici> sam1_: No one is going to help you if you dont ask a question.
[20:01] <sam1_> i did
[20:01] <pike_> squeaks: id think just xorg
[20:01] <Pici> sam1_: Well you may need to ask again.
[20:01] <sam1_> once agon
[20:02] <Guerra> Lettuc3: No, my laptop runs beautifully, it's my desktop that I have issues with. The ATI 2900 PRO is about the size of my laptop...
[20:02] <Guerra> It's gargantuan.
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sam1_: Please ask your question.. all on one line.. as complete as possible
[20:02] <Guerra> I have a silly question. What is Beryl? Is it a version of Ubuntu? Or is it a graphical mod like Compiz Fusion?
[20:03] <Pici> Guerra: Its the previous name of Compiz-Fusion
[20:03] <PriceChild> Guerra, it is the old name for compiz fusion
[20:03] <enjay5150> I have a customer who overwrote /sbin/modprobe with the install command... They have no ubuntu CD's is there anywhere that I can download that utility to replace teh existing?
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl | Guerra
[20:03] <ubotu> Guerra: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[20:03] <Guerra> Ahh
[20:03] <Lettuc3> Guerra having said that, i didn't have any issues installing the drivers, but they do look bleak, and there are things that are terribly buggy or nonexistant.
[20:03] <Guerra> Thanks mate.
[20:03] <boogz> beryl = compiz fusion
[20:03] <Guerra> Appreciated guys.
[20:03] <Lettuc3> Guerra it's a compositing window-manager. There was compiz, then a fork, beryl, then they merged together and became compiz fusion. at least that's my understanding of it.
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Guerra: Hope those notes help
[20:04] <sam1_> i have an lg C1 and i'm trying to install a driver for the touch screent o work. the rest is running fine. I just need help with these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4296576

[20:09] <genii> vipaca: You can't get your broadcom 5704 adapters to work?
[20:10] <vipaca> ebjay5150 you should be able to get it off the install cd
[20:10] <vipaca> genii: that is correct?
[20:10] <Guerra> Jack_Sparrow: Mine says Mesa, yet I have the restricted drivers installed. Any idea?
[20:10] <enjay5150> yea I dont have the install CD nor does the customer unfortunately.. and they are down, and its gonna take hours to download..
[20:10] <genii> vipaca: Do you have the tg3 module loaded?

[20:11] <jav__> Hi there! Anybody else who has a different 'field of view' when using a web cam with - say - AMSN compared to using the web cam on a web site that access the cam through the flash plugin? When used by flash, the field of view is considerably more narrow than in AMSN or camorama .. is this normal? do others experience that as well? some way to change it?
[20:11] <squeaks> pike_, i understand the gdm script runs when gdm starts for ubuntu logon screen, but this Driver "synaptics" the closest I can locate is "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so"
[20:11] <sam1_> i'm just too beginner for all this i dont have a clue what you're on about ...how \can you expect people fed up with windows to understand all this jargon?

[20:11] <squeaks> pike_, seems not to be a kernel module?

[20:12] <sam1_> i'm gonna phone a friend
[20:12] <vbgunz> Cew27: ping
[20:12] <Guerra> sam1_:  All I know is that SUDO is the command you type to give you admin privileges before every command in the terminal. That and I know how to pronounce UBUNTU unlike most people.
[20:12] <vipaca> genii:it is in the list
[20:12] <enjay5150> vipaca: yea I dont have the install CD nor does the customer unfortunately.. and they are down, and its gonna take hours to download..

[20:13] <Afk226> i was hoping it would fix that root exploit
[20:13] <vipaca> enjay:no other installs?
[20:13] <enjay5150> vipaca: yea slow connection here..  10hours it says at this point..
[20:13] <PriceChild> Afk226, you need to restart yes.

[20:14] <makkalot> hi all , i have installed the vim-python package when i execute vim.python filename.py i dont see any difference from normal vim?

[20:14] <incorrect> i just installed sdb, how do i generate the uuid?
[20:14] <gilos> can I tell apt-get to use a socks proxy?
[20:14] <vipaca> enjay:what does uname -a give you?
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[20:15] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[20:15] <genii> vipaca: If there is no entry in /etc/network/interfaces for them, no. ifconfig can force them up if no entry there
[20:15] <tez> I think the installer is stuck at Validating zlibg1g, any ideas?

[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> boogz: common problem.. some say you need to recompile alsa to get that feature.. #alsa if that helps
[20:20] <tators> jacksparrow: unrar isn't in add/remove apps

[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ideasman_42: Normally you would file a bug report
[20:24] <vipaca> genii: in /etc/netwokr/interfaces
[20:24] <genii> vipaca: If the driver is loaded (it is) and ifconfig shows the interfaces up (it does) and they are configured (somewhat that we know of) then the activity lights not being on will usually be: no cord in there plugged to some other thing which is powered on

[20:54] <Lgndryhr> so i have posted on ubuntuforums and receieved no help yet got my problem, which is the following:
[20:54] <Lgndryhr> I just updated to version 7.10 of Ubuntu. Along with the update I gained the new kernel 2.6.22-14-386 and 2.6.22-14-generic. Well upon restarting, which has been broken since I have been on 6.10 so I just shut off and re-turn on manually. I go to load the newest kernel and from here things differ from the last kernel I was on, 2.6.17-12-386.
[20:54] <Lgndryhr>  I am not able to see the usual loading screen but instead a blackscreen with a blinking cursor that is not in the right resolutioneither. It would usually load with correct resolution and show loadingof necessary things with "[OK]" across from it and fsck also would beused I believe when loading. It then loads to either of the following:telling me it's loading into low-graphics mode and asks me what to doOR loads to login screen wi
[20:54] <Lgndryhr> So basically I am lost as to what to do. Any help would be greatlyappreciated. I am still sort of new to Ubuntu too so sorry if I ammissing something simple here. Oh yea also, I dual boot using GRUB and2 hard drives. One has Windows XP and the other has Ubuntu.
[20:54] <Anarchist> hi . anybody could help me? i've downloaded a game. but when im installing in using add/remove . it's starting to download it again.. how come? do i need to set something?
[20:54] <orionjoe> i wish i wasn't such a noob
[20:54] <kostkon> orionjoe, it will run when you run the file. from the terminal you can go to the game's folder and do ./assaultcube.sh
[20:55] <Anarchist> hi . anybody could help me? i've downloaded a game. but when im installing *it using add/remove . it's starting to download it again.. how come? do i need to set something?
[20:55] <orionjoe> ok, thanks
[20:55] <dballester> hi to all
[20:55] <kostkon> orionjoe, I hope it's executable already, or else you'll have to make it to be

[20:56] <kostkon> orionjoe, yeah, you can just do it from there, easily
[20:56] <orionjoe> so when i run it nothing happens

[20:57] <billenium> is XAMPP only Apache and MySQL? or is it also PHP?
[20:58] <dballester> I'm migrating from ubuntu 7.10 x86 to unbuntu 7.10 x86_64 in another machine. My idea is to use aptoncd to have the same software in the new machine without dealing manually with the info on the 32bits machine. Do you know if aptoncd has this funcionality or may be i will must deal with the info created with aptoncd to point to the 64 bits arch ?
[20:58] <asdrubal> You know how ubuntu automounts USB drives? How do I do that from the command line?

[20:58] <unagi> can anyone please tell me why no matter what i do, ubuntu will no longer let me select the right resolution?
[20:58] <orionjoe> ok, one sec
[20:58] <domenique> hi
[20:58] <kostkon> Anarchist, what do you mean it starts downloading it again?
[20:58] <asdrubal> unagi, probably your xf86config file is hosed somehow
[20:58] <unagi> my what?
[20:58] <Anarchist> pike_: yeah.. it's a deb. and the game is in my desktop..
[20:58] <billenium> yann_: okay, i already have some things setup on Apache, will i have to redo everything? and in a different way? (like things in /var/www/)?
[20:59] <asdrubal> unagi, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:59] <bmk789> anyone used multipoint X?
[20:59] <rendero> hello, somebody knows how can somebody do to connect more than one pc in a lan to a remote vpn ?
[20:59] <unagi> well no matter what i do to xorg.conf it doesnt work, so what could i have hosed asdrubal
[20:59] <Bodsda> unagi, its not a case of "no matter what you do" its a case of "what you havent tried yet" there will be something that fixes it,.,.you just have to find out what that is
[20:59] <orionjoe> if the folder in on my desktop what do i type? i was gone for a while and forgot everything :P
[20:59] <asdrubal> unagi, not sure...I use nvidia software to set resolution.
[20:59] <domenique> I installed ubuntu, but I want to install windows again on the machine, but for some reason the windows cd won't boot anymore, it tells me to press a button to boot from cd and after that, it says its detecting my hardware. A few seconds later, the screen turns black and nothing happens anymore ?
[21:00] <unagi> asdrubal: i would too if it listed my resolution
[21:00] <Anarchist> kostkon: i mean.. i downloaded the game already..and it is in my desktop. but when i try to install it with add/remove ..it's starting the download of the game again..
[21:00] <pike_> rendero: you could use one vpn'd machine as the gateway i guess im not too exp with that sort of thing
[21:00] <domenique> does this have something to do with ubuntu being installed ?
[21:00] <unagi> what is there left to try Bodsda i have replaced the xorg reconfigured the xorg replaced it with a backup
[21:00] <asdrubal> You know how ubuntu automounts USB drives? How do I do that from the command line?
[21:00] <asdrubal> unagi, what resolution?
[21:00] <unagi> 1440 x 900
[21:00] <kostkon> orionjoe, to save you the trouble, if you like, there is a deb package of the game at getdeb.net. it will set up wverything for you and you can run it from the menu right away. what do you think? :)
[21:00] <asdrubal> unagi, is that a typical LCD resolution?
[21:00] <orionjoe> awesome, thank you!
[21:00] <Bodsda> unagi, theres always something else, i just dont know what,.,.;~)
[21:00] <billenium> domenique: i dont think #ubuntu is a good place to ask about how to TAKE OFF ubuntu :P
[21:00] <asdrubal> mine is 1680x1050
[21:00] <unagi> i dont know
[21:00] <unagi> its my resolution
[21:00] <orionjoe> thanks a lot, bye
[21:00] <chazco> Quick question... does Ubuntu write immediately to USB drives, and the unmount is just "to be sure"...?
[21:00] <domenique> billenium, well the ubuntu install did something to the machine because winxp cd is not working anymore
[21:01] <rendero> pike_, and what program or what in what program to do that ?
[21:01] <unagi> this isnt a new set up, im trying to get my resolution back..........it works..........i know it does...........ive seen it
[21:01] <billenium> domenique: did you buy this CD? or did it come with your machine?
[21:01] <domenique> I used the disk to isntall windows a week ago on that went fine
[21:01] <domenique> i wanted to test ubuntu
[21:01] <domenique> but I can't install windows back
[21:01] <billenium> did it come with the machine? or did you buy the CD?
[21:02] <domenique> billenium, it the cd that came with the pc, it's a standard xp sp2 version
[21:02] <pike_> rendero: firestarter can do regular setup for a gateway machine and bridge your nics but im not sure if that would work when youre on vpn or not i guess itd be pretty easy to try since firestarter is just click through gui
[21:02] <domenique> not a vendor specific
[21:02] <unagi> can someone help me get ubuntu to display 1440 x 900
[21:02] <billenium> are you sure its not the reformat CD?
[21:02] <rendero> pike_, the firewall does not nothing to do with the problem
[21:02] <kostkon> Anarchist, OK. I don't understand what is your problem specifically. What happens after the downloading?
[21:02] <domenique> billenium, it's not a vendor specific version, it's a vanilla sp2 cd
[21:03] <domenique> and I used it a week before installing ubuntu
[21:03] <domenique> and that worked fine
[21:03] <domenique> it since i installed ubuntu that my pc doesn't like winxp anymore
[21:03] <thinman1189> does anyone know about a possible memory leak in torbutton or anything to do about it?
[21:03] <billenium> domenique: use fdisk and totally wipe your harddrive free of everything... No os no nothing
[21:03] <billenium> then try to boot the CD
[21:03] <domenique> can't blame him, but i need xp for work
[21:03] <domenique> billenium, : can I do that from within ubuntu ?
[21:03] <domenique> i guess not
[21:04] <billenium> umm
[21:04] <billenium> possibly :P
[21:04] <domenique> with the live cd maybe ?
[21:04] <asprant> lan
[21:04] <asprant> maybe

[21:07] <Single-Man> hii
[21:07] <vegeta_> im looking for a distro juste to make a  file server / prob with a xwindows  any suggestion ???
[21:07] <switch_> What do I do to get access to my usb drive when I'm connected to my computer remotely by ssh?  It seems to not be mounted or something.
[21:08] <patogen> Can somebody post a link to a guide on how to make a .deb-file from source code?
[21:08] <graingert> how compatable is ubuntu with the HP Pavilion dv6700 Special Edition Entertainment Notebook PC series
[21:08] <patogen> I can't find a good one ...
[21:09] <Ackdar> switch_, have you tried mount /dev/sda1 (or whatever your drive is) /mnt/usb ?
[21:09] <graingert> specifically dv6799ea
[21:09] <switch_> Ackdar: how do I found out what the drive is?
[21:09] <graingert> type mount
[21:09] <graingert> you get a list of mounted drives
[21:09] <kostkon> patogen, there is a very good one at the ubuntu documentation. i don't have the url right now, though
[21:09] <Ackdar> usually a flash drive will be around sda1 or sda0
[21:09] <Milos_SD> Where can I see changelog of Ubuntu updates?
[21:10] <toresn> how do i configure irssi?
[21:10] <patogen> kostkon: I'll try searching on it :)
[21:10] <kostkon> Milos_SD, /var/log/dpkg.log, I think
[21:10] <toresn> through .irssi/config?

[21:10] <kostkon> patogen, OK :)
[21:10] <Ackdar> toresn, first try man irssi
[21:11] <Ackdar> it will show you config commands
[21:11] <Milos_SD> I ment online, I have update for kernel, but there is no changes for now. :)
[21:11] <Milos_SD> I want to know what are the changes in that update :))
[21:11] <switch_> Ackdar: I see sda3 but it's my main partition I think.
[21:12] <Ackdar> you wuoldn't see it, really, if it's not mounted
[21:12] <Ackdar> hold on
[21:12] <Bitmess> How can I access a USB HDD from winxp vmware VM? VMware server doesn't see it under removable devices\USB but Linux sees it fine.
[21:13] <kostkon> Milos_SD, ah! eh, I just check it from the forums. there is a subforum/thread there. I don't know where the updates log is officially posted.
[21:13] <switch_> Ackdar: thanks for the lead; when I log in locally and type mount I see /dev/sdb1, so I think that's what I have to mount since it apparently gets unmounted when I am not locally logged in.
[21:13] <Ackdar> :D
[21:14] <bastid_raZor> Bitmess; #vmware would be a better channel to get the answer
[21:15] <Bitmess> bastid_raZor: thanks I'll go there
[21:15] <bastid_raZor> Bitmess; good luck
[21:15] <Ackdar> so... I can login to my ISP with screen, but firefox and others don't recognize that I'm connected... Help?

[21:17] <imagine> Hi, I'm trying to make a bash script (or anything equivalent) so when I'm connected on my local network, it uses local IP (192.168.0.*) to access my server and when I am outside of my local network I access it through SSHFS using another IP.. any idea help ?
[21:21] <hs1> stupid question: how use email alias in Evolution mail client?
[21:21] <andlo> imagine: if you use dns name instead of ip addresses, you could setup your local dns to point localy on the server. And when you are outside - well the dns points to the external ip address.
[21:22] <CarlFK> what package installs something to /lib/modules/2.6.24-7-generic/build ?

[21:23] <sven> how do i check that SMP support is enabled? (i do have dualcore AMD64)
[21:23] <DeepThoughts> I'm running 32-bit Gutsy and I've started toying around with PulseAudio. It will however not work on my soundcard that uses the module snd_ice1724 (it does not recognize any output device). Any ideas why? Does PulseAudio require dmix and if so is it because dmix is deactivate by default that it doesn't work?
[21:23] <ikonia> sven: show me uname -a

[21:24] <thinman1189> does anyone know of a way to get a Slacker portable to work on ubuntu? http://www.slacker.com/products/portables/
[21:24] <ikonia> Bitmess: you have to create a samba username and password that maps to the unix user
[21:24] <ikonia> Bitmess: smbpasswd is the command
[21:24] <yannl> bitmess: search for how to configure smb.conf
[21:24] <ikonia> Bitmess: check the man page
[21:24] <ikonia> yannl: thats nothing to do with smb.conf
[21:24] <sven> ikonia, just wanted to get sure since this mainboard and ram and CPU is really new (few days old) since ordered and i didn't know about support hehe

[21:30] <ikonia> CarlFK: check the instrucionts did it tell you to do "make modules" ?
[21:30] <spootman> How can I have terminal commands be used on startup?
[21:30] <MrTHaggar> Ok :)
[21:30] <pike_> david08: tremulous is better imo i dont like quake much because its so frenetic and there is not time to work together or anything
[21:30] <ikonia> CarlFK: where did that makefile come from ?
[21:30] <CarlFK> ikonia: no.
[21:30] <badkitty> anyone know if there is a way to get ubuntu server working with virtualbox, or perhaps a appliance I can download for this? Id like to stick with vbox instead of vmware
[21:30] <david08> pike_: see, i like the frenetic i found in quake, tremolous is the one with aliens ecc?
[21:30] <ikonia> CarlFK: so what did the "make modules" command
[21:31] <MrTHaggar> Well I used the entire hard disk for my Ubuntu partition, but I need to resize it to add a partition for windows, but gparted won't let me resize the partition.
[21:31] <vipaca> Has anyone ever had this happen you plug in nic and get no light then you move to the next nic get lights restart the box have no lights where you have lights and vice versus
[21:31] <CarlFK> ikonia: this is what I am trying to build: http://www.epiphan.com/products/vga2usb-3.8.8.0000-ubuntu-2.6.24-5-generic.tbz

[21:31] <pike_> david08: yes.
[21:31] <CarlFK> ikonia: is that a question?
[21:31] <torc> Is it possible I got a bad disk to install from?
[21:31] <Flare183> badkitty: yeah you can go and download the server version of ubuntu mount it as a iso and and run it/install it
[21:31] <Flare183> i guess
[21:31] <Henkel> i cant join the irc'server "rezosup" !
[21:31] <Flare183> brb
[21:31] <MasterMel> When i try to install elisa i run in the follwoing error in synaptic: " Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrades, the following packages have unresolvable independencies" Where can i mark all the repositories to be added?
[21:31] <thewestlaker> hey people, i've just got a VPS with ubuntu installed and I'm having probs connecting remotely to it's mysql database... what can I do to find out whether the server has a firewall? thanks
[21:31] <Ackdar> Henkel, some of us can read that
[21:32] <david08> pike_: then i already tried it a few years ago and didnt like it
[21:32] <Ackdar> you said "Hi, girls"
[21:32] <MrTHaggar> I've tried booting from the live cd also, but I still can't resize the partition in that either.
[21:32] <chris062689> Does anyone here have a good grasp of filesystems?
[21:32] <ikonia> thewestlaker: have you installed a firewall
[21:32] <spootman> MtTHaggar: I'd recommend installing windows with VirtualBox and use seemless mode allowing you do use both opperating systems at once.
[21:32] <chris062689> I have a question.
[21:32] <Henkel> rofl Ackdar
[21:32] <thewestlaker> ikonia: nope, its a default config
[21:32] <silentassumption> mastermel, try apt-get install -f
[21:32] <Starnestommy> Ackdar: I think ubuntu has iptables/netfiter by default
[21:32] <ikonia> thewestlaker: then it doesn't have a firewall
[21:32] <Bodsda> popular media player advice please (not-totem,vlc,xmms,divx,amarok){must play mp3 and mp4 mpeg}
[21:32] <Starnestommy> whoops.
[21:32] <badkitty> Flare183, I tried that a couple weeks ago and I get major errors.. i read on a few websites saying that there isn't support for the server packages, but I also hear its possible
[21:32] <ikonia> Starnestommy: it's not enabled by default
[21:32] <chris062689> If I have a SD card, and want to put videos on it, and that's really it.  I hear squashfs can condence the size a whole lot, and allow for a lot more on there?  IS THIS TRUE?
[21:32] <MrTHaggar> Spootman, can you shed some light on how I do that, do I just install virtualbox and use that?
[21:32] <Ackdar> Starnestommy, huh?
[21:33] <Flare183> i'm back
[21:33] <thewestlaker> ikonia: ok cool, so it could be the hosting company blocking the port i need to access?
[21:33] <Henkel> but Ackdar, can you explain me so?
[21:33] <frijolie> hey all
[21:33] <MasterMel> silentassumption: thnx i will try it.. but what does that command do?
[21:33] <Starnestommy> Ackdar: got the wrong person, sorry
[21:33] <ikonia> thewestlaker: most probably
[21:33] <Flare183> badkitty: hmm weird can't help further sorry
[21:33] <Henkel> i want to connect rezzzosupppp
[21:33] <thewestlaker> ikonia: thanks
[21:33] <silentassumption> It usually will install the missing deps
[21:33] <frijolie> what do you do if the kernel doesn't recognize your wireless NIC?
[21:33] <Henkel> hoooooow???
[21:33] <Ackdar> Henkel, huh?
[21:33] <badkitty> Flare183, Maybe I'll give it another go I already have the disk .. is there a server for 7.10 or should I stick with edgy
[21:33] <Henkel> mmh
[21:33] <frijolie> i'm sure everybody's favorite troubleshooter
[21:33] <Henkel> you know quakenet?
[21:33] <ikonia> frijolie: you find out if it's supported
[21:33] <Henkel> sure u do
[21:34] <Flare183> badkitty: ok
[21:34] <chris062689> Does anyone know about squash fs?
[21:34] <Starnestommy> Henkel: irc.quakenet.org?
[21:34] <silentassumption> mastermel, -f  Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails
[21:34] <ikonia> chris062689: yes
[21:34] <Henkel> so rezosup is an irc serv like quakenet (jaja ure right)
[21:34] <frijolie> @ikonia It's a RealTek
[21:34] <MasterMel> silentassumption: ok thnx
[21:34] <seanh> chris062689:  i've never messed with it , but i know what it is
[21:34] <silentassumption> np
[21:34] <Henkel> anybody speak french?
[21:34] <Bodsda> !french
[21:34] <frijolie> @ikonia don't know the specific chipset
[21:34] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[21:34] <ikonia> frijolie: I didn't ask what it was, I said find out if it's supported
[21:34] <chris062689> ikoni: is it possible to format a SD card with squashfs, and will that save a LOT of space if it's videos and stuff?
[21:34] <seanh> chris062689: you aren't going to get too much more compression on video files though
[21:35] <chris062689> what about .isos
[21:35] <ikonia> chris062689: you put squashfs where ever you want, you'll need a fair ammount of ram to uncompress it i
[21:35] <chris062689> oh..
[21:35] <chris062689> Didn't think about that..
[21:35] <chris062689> Do you guys know any tricks to keep the space down?
[21:35] <silentassumption> Don't install as much.
[21:35] <frijolie> @ikonia I've searched RealTek in the forums and it has walkthroughs for specific chipsets, how/where do you locate which specific chipset it is?
[21:35] <ikonia> chris062689: re-encode the videos
[21:35] <seanh> chris062689: you'll also have to have squashfs support on `every` device you want to mount it on if you did that
[21:36] <chris062689> so it's really not worth it.
[21:36] <khalil> hello
[21:36] <maze_> any1 has setup an IPSEC vpn client connection on gusty that knows which packages are needed?
[21:36] <seanh> chris062689: not for videos
[21:36] <chris062689> hmmm
[21:36] <ikonia> !wireless > frijolie
[21:36] <seanh> chris062689: if you were storing gigs of flat files then yes
[21:36] <ikonia> frijolie: check the links ubotu just sent you
[21:36] <MrTHaggar> Is there any reason why I couldn't resize my partition?  Anything obvious to check?
[21:36] <chris062689> I only have a 2gb, and want to fit an entire anime season on there
[21:36] <Bodsda> mounted?
[21:37] <chris062689> Which filesystem do you recomend I format the SD card?
[21:37] <ikonia> chris062689: it doesn't matter
[21:37] <silentassumption> You're putting movies on an SD card? lol
[21:37] <Bodsda> whats an SD card?
[21:37] <Ackdar> I'm still having trouble with the internet on Gutsy. I tried logging on to the ISP manually  with screen, but no programs noticed that I was connected. Any Suggestions?
[21:37] <pike_> MrTHaggar: as Bodsda said is it mounted?
[21:37] <frijolie> @ikonia thanks, checking them out now...
[21:37] <Ackdar> Bodsda, it
[21:37] <chris062689> What do you mean lol@!?
[21:37] <chris062689> I have an EeePC
[21:37] <chris062689> I can't fit much on it :(
[21:38] <Bodsda> Ackdar, what?
[21:38] <MrTHaggar> Well I'm using it now to write files to, and I can access it off the live cd, other than that I'm not sure how I'd check, I'm new to Ubuntu.
[21:38] <Ackdar> Bodsda, it's a memory card, designed by some company that I forgot, for use in cameras, wii, phones, etc.
[21:38] <silentassumption> chris, Why don't you get an external drive?
[21:38] <Ackdar> Bodsda, sorry, hit enter instead of '
[21:38] <spideyman> hey all Im using avidemux2 with gutsy to convert my avi files to mp4 but the resulting file is bigger how do i get it smaller like 4 to 5 hundred megs for my psp?
[21:38] <Bodsda> Ackdar, no worries,.ty,.,. so why put a film on it,. how silly
[21:39] <pike_> MrTHaggar: one thing to bear in mind is you cannot resize a disk that has been mounted so if you have it mounted a sudo umount /media/whatever   will umount it and then you should be able to resize
[21:39] <MrTHaggar> If I unmount it whist I'm using Ubuntu running from it, will my system stop working?
[21:39] <Ackdar> Bodsda, I guess for easy travel... it's only about the size of 1/6 of a credit card
[21:39] <Bodsda> MrTHaggar, open a terminal   and type        man umount        that should tell you how to unmount the device, or you can riht click-->unmount in nautilus if you start nautilus from terminal with ksudo
[21:40] <Lettuc3> Bodsda he's talking about unmounting the root partition.
[21:40] <MrTHaggar> Thanks pike_ and Bodsa, but will I be able to unmount my only hard disk?
[21:40] <asdrubal> You know how ubuntu automounts USB drives? How do I do that from the command line?
[21:40] <Bodsda> Ackdar, yer, i think i no what you mean, but why use that, not a cd or usb stick,. formatting it will mean you cant use it in the camara again,.,.no?
[21:40] <Bodsda> Lettuc3, oh,.,.can you do that?
[21:41] <Bodsda> MrTHaggar, good question,.,.let me no
[21:41] <silentassumption> Unmounting your root partition while you're using it would be silly, if it's even possible.
[21:41] <Ackdar> Bodsda, correct... always reformat it for vFAT when youre done, though
[21:41] <Tiven> Bodsda:  hi !!! im back - no lag after i did what you said !!!!!!!! i love you man
[21:41] <Lettuc3> Bodsda nopes, i was just pointing something out. don't tell me, i didn't ask the question.
[21:41] <MrTHaggar> haha, I'll have a play about, thanks :)
[21:41] <Ackdar> Bodsda, you can always*
[21:41]  * Bodsda is creeped out by Tiven 
[21:41] <Tiven> Bodsda i hope it continues to be like that forever !!! again , thank you buddie !
[21:42] <Bodsda> Tiven,  no probs m8
[21:42] <Starnestommy> asdrubal: I think nautilus normally mounts them in graphical mode, but I think usbmount can do the same thing without a GUI
[21:42] <idoc> hello
[21:42] <TurtleOfDoom> !hi| idoc
[21:42] <ubotu> idoc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:42] <asdrubal> Starnestommy, will that make the devices RW for normal users?
[21:43] <Bodsda> Lettuc3, ;~)
[21:43] <idoc> Does anyone know how to fix the please wait bug while booting ubuntu
[21:43] <Bodsda> ??
[21:43] <Bodsda> what bug
[21:43] <ikonia> idoc: what bug is this
[21:43] <silentassumption> idoc, have you tried waiting?
[21:43] <Bodsda> lol
[21:43] <Lettuc3> waiting usually does fix it.
[21:43] <Starnestommy> asdrubal: I think it can be confugired to do that if it doesn't do it by default
[21:44] <asdrubal> Starnestommy, I unmounted a usb device... and I want to remount it without plugging it back in so that it's RW for normal users
[21:44] <Bodsda> asdrubal, how can you mount something thats not plugged in?
[21:44] <asdrubal> Starnestommy, I mean: without unplugging then plugging back in
[21:44] <Bodsda> oh
[21:44] <Bodsda> asdrubal, fstab automount?
[21:44] <Bodsda> !fstab
[21:44] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[21:44] <asdrubal> Bodsda, it already automounted.
[21:45] <spideyman> asdrubal make an image of it then mount the image
[21:45] <asdrubal> Bobsda: I unmounted it
[21:45] <asdrubal> and I want to mount it again
[21:45] <rahal> hi everybody.. i have some problems to understand this message : Don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1/inet.

[21:47] <silentassumption> Sometimes I wonder about people that as about their internet connection not working. It appears to be working since you're on IRC, yes?
[21:47] <idoc> I have waited and the boot falls to a busybox text
[21:47] <silentassumption> ask*
[21:48] <Bodsda> MasterMel, remind me of the exact error message please
[21:48] <spootman> I run 2 commands in terminal every time I bootup and login, is there a way to automate that?
[21:48] <jack-desktop> what is "sticky" windows?
[21:48] <MasterMel> Bosda: When i try to install elisa i run in the follwoing error in synaptic: " Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrades, the following packages have unresolvable independencies" Where can i mark all the repositories to be added?

[21:48] <TurtleOfDoom> silentassumption: you've never run irc over carrier pidgon? pidgeon modems are a pain to install under linux
[21:48] <max__> Can someone help me? I have a problem with my sound.
[21:49] <sluggo> jack-desktop: sticky windows appear on all workspaces

[21:49] <idoc> i can complete the boot by modprobe ide-disk; modprobe ide-generic; cat /sys/block/hda
[21:49] <silentassumption> max_, what's wrong with your sound?
[21:49] <idoc> then mknod hda1 b 3
[21:49] <Bodsda> silentassumption, its a wireless belking 54g dongle thing
[21:49] <idoc> ctrld then the boot continues
[21:49] <silentassumption> belking? belkin*?
[21:49] <cyberius> Hi! I need some support :) Just downloaded PokerTH 0.6. The "bin" installer. I installed it into the /usr/games dir where all the other games are also located! (I had to run the bin with sudo). Did I everything right????
[21:49] <max__> Well, the issue is: that the sound is coming out of both my speakers and my computer
[21:49] <idoc> and I am up
[21:50] <Bodsda> silentassumption, sorry,.,.belkin
[21:50] <silentassumption> max, alsamixer -> press m on pcm I think it is
[21:50] <silentassumption> Either pcm or front
[21:50] <LjL> cyberius: why would you download that, given that pokerth is in the repositories?
[21:50] <max__> kk, let me test this out.
[21:50] <Bodsda> !pokerth
[21:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pokerth - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:50] <cyberius> In the repositories there is an old version => 0.5 !!
[21:50] <solexious> [Q] Can i use kde programs in ubuntu or do i have to use kubuntu?
[21:50] <LjL> cyberius: and no, you should never install anything manually outside of /usr/local or /opt

[21:51] <Starnestommy> solexious: yes.
[21:51] <cyberius> ok i will install it again in opt :)
[21:51] <solexious> Bodsda: Thank you
[21:51] <Starnestommy> solexious: you don't need kubuntu to run them
[21:51] <Bodsda> LjL, is there an actual poker game, or just hold 'em?
[21:51] <cyberius> yey 0.5 is old
[21:51] <solexious> Star: Thank you
[21:51] <LjL> cyberius: ... er... why don't you just get the version from the repos?
[21:51] <LjL> Bodsda: no idea
[21:51] <silentassumption> Heh, I guess it worked.
[21:51] <Bodsda> solexious, no probs,.,. it will install alot of kde libraries tho
[21:51] <cyberius> in the repos there isnt 0.6
[21:51] <Lieri> which one is better for newbie -- ubuntu or kubuntu?
[21:52] <silentassumption> Lieri, it depends what you like better.
[21:52] <silentassumption> Gnome or KDE?
[21:52] <cyberius> i doesn't have some important new fetaures as a read
[21:52] <Lieri> multimedia
[21:52] <silentassumption> ...
[21:52] <nagyv> hello! I would like to analyse my application usage a bit. One of the ideas would be to move back from the list of installed packages (e.g. firefox) to their section/group (web for firefox). Does anyone know an easy way for it?
[21:52] <Bodsda> Lieri, neither/either   but i think gnome is probably more supported
[21:52] <LjL> !info pokerth hardy | cyberius, as you can see it is in the Hardy repositories

[21:52] <Lieri> thanks
[21:52] <LjL> cyberius: so you can probably request a backport

[21:53] <Bodsda> MasterMel, good good,.
[21:53] <silentassumption> Lieri, Linux distributions are all a matter of preference and opinion.
[21:53] <idoc> or know how to fix it
[21:53] <max__> Thank you so much. I figured it out.
[21:53] <IndyGunFreak> Lieri: but just remember, Ubuntu/Debian is best, Redhat sucks, and you'll be OK.
[21:53] <silentassumption> max_, the alsamixer worked?
[21:53] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[21:53] <max__> Sorta, I disabled something else.
[21:53] <cyberius> Can't I add the hardy repo into my file so that i get the newest version?
[21:53] <silentassumption> Which did you disable?
[21:53] <Lieri> thanks all :) going to install it today
[21:53] <achandrashekar> hello. I have been working for 2 days trying to get the failover parameter in dhcp server working on ubuntu. However, whenever I try to enter the parameters in, my ltsp clients cannot boot. Any idies, before i switch distros?

[21:54] <{Nathan}> My appearance manager always crashes when I try to customize things. Is there any fix for this?
[21:55] <IndyGunFreak> i have it in my gutsy repo to, for what its worth
[21:55] <silentassumption> Nathan, did you install your video card drivers?
[21:55] <pike_> nathan change your nick ;p
[21:55] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: yes, everything works but that. It just doesn't redraw itself.
[21:55] <{Nathan}> pike_: nathan, nathan_, nathan__, nate, are all taken
[21:56] <silentassumption> Do you have enough memory?
[21:56] <pike_> nathan yeah the () messes up tab completion is all
[21:56] <LjL> good irc clients let you tab-complete without typing the "{" ;)
[21:56] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: yes, only 50% is being used
[21:56] <jack-desktop> Is there anyway to make "DesktopConsole"(title name) not show up in awn?
[21:56] <silentassumption> Hrm, I'm assuming you're using Beryl?
[21:56] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: nope, not right now anyway
[21:56] <Bodsda> {Nathan}, how about _nathan?
[21:57] <silentassumption> How are you trying to customize it? Just regular settings? ie. colors, themes, etc?

[21:58] <cyberius> mh the "opt" dir is also not writeable without sudo. just the home dir is writeable?
[21:58] <zoid_> a
[21:58] <zoid_> ok
[21:58] <silentassumption> What do you mean, it doesn't draw itself?
[21:58] <LjL> cyberius: that's correct
[21:58] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: it just shows the window and a basic outline of the componets
[21:59] <jack-desktop> Is there anyway to make "DesktopConsole"(title name) not show up in awn?
[21:59] <LjL> cyberius: anything outside your home directory doesn't belong to your user, because it affects the entire system. the only half-exception is /tmp
[21:59] <silentassumption> Try running it through the console, and see if it gives any error messages.
[21:59] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: what's the command?
[21:59] <silentassumption> gnome-theme-manager or gconf-editor
[21:59] <achandrashekar> anyone familiar with dhcp load balancing
[21:59] <Bodsda> {Nathan}, whats the program?

[22:00] <silentassumption> rubeez, your question is lacking some vital information.

[22:02] <spootman> i'll give it a try
[22:02] <s0u][ight> searched a lot in the forums
[22:02] <zoid_> aiemm american boy
[22:03] <amdbcg> woah, that sounds like my problem s0u][ight :)
[22:03] <s0u][ight> don't wanna use ndiswrapper
[22:03] <amdbcg> me neither
[22:03] <amdbcg> I think someone recommended madwifi drivers
[22:03] <amdbcg> but I haven't tried it yet
[22:03] <s0u][ight> they don't work with bcm
[22:03] <s0u][ight> they are fine for atheros chipset cards
[22:03] <Starnestommy> ndiswrapper works well for me
[22:03] <s0u][ight> like acer ones
[22:04] <s0u][ight> i don't wanna use ndiswrapper
[22:04] <s0u][ight> i need monitor mode etc.
[22:04] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: I tried helping you before and you never told me what didn't work on it and why.
[22:04] <s0u][ight> the farrest thing i did was retrieving signals from networks but no connection :(
[22:05] <amdbcg> Starnestommy : you want to help me once I get Ubuntu installed ? :D
[22:05] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: I assume that you tried to connect under system -> Administration _-> Network, right?
[22:05] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} i know but i have a lot to do too :(
[22:05] <s0u][ight> not only that way
[22:05] <s0u][ight> cli
[22:05] <s0u][ight> the tray icon
[22:05] <{Nathan}> okay, so did you try to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and use ifup to bring up the interface?
[22:05] <amdbcg> Starnestommy : I've tried compiling on Fedora, but I couldn't seem to get it to work -that's why i'm trying Ubuntu
[22:05] <funnyfarm> Can someone who's not busy help me with an install question?
[22:06] <silentassumption> Don't be a wimp, use ndiswrapper
[22:06] <||arifaX> funnyfarm: just ask and we will see
[22:06] <IndyGunFreak> funnyfarm: just ask your question, if someone can answer, they will
[22:06] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} my interface is up when i can retrieve signals right?
[22:06] <badkitty> funnyfarm, Ask away dear chap
[22:06] <s0u][ight> ndiswrapper is not a solution for me i need an open source driver
[22:06] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: not really, it's up when you are connected. Edit the file and run "ifup <interfacenamehere>"
[22:06] <{Nathan}> err, with a sudo :p
[22:07] <s0u][ight> what do i have to include
[22:07] <s0u][ight> ?
[22:07] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: do you have an open network? Or is it encripted?
[22:07] <funnyfarm> I guess I was just asking if anyone was free. Anyways, I'm working off the liveCD and I can move the mouse cursor, but I can't seem to click. Is it frozen, or just a problem with hardware? It worked fine before
[22:07] <s0u][ight> open
[22:08] <silentassumption> LiveCDs can be dodgy, just restart.
[22:08] <funnyfarm> I was in the middle of an install...
[22:08] <jack-desktop> Is there anyway to make "DesktopConsole"(title name) not show up in awn?
[22:08] <tantric132> Hey everyone I have a quick question about Restricted Driver updates
[22:08] <||arifaX> funnyfarm: try a ctrl + alt + backspace
[22:08] <silentassumption> Did you try pressing the tab button and using enter?
[22:08] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: then you just need your essid. eg "iface wlan0 dhcp" then "wireless-essid blah"
[22:08] <amdbcg> funnyfarm : does the keyboard still work ?
[22:09] <badkitty> any difference between server edition edgy and gutsy besides support?
[22:09] <{Nathan}> soulrider: that's 2 lines, by the way
[22:09] <jacek> easiest way to change ubuntu 7.04 feisty to kubuntu and update to gutsy
[22:09] <badkitty> ie. Is it still better to use edgy
[22:09] <silentassumption> badkitty: One is the server edition, and one is not. :D
[22:09] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} u mean me?
[22:09] <{Nathan}> yeah, sorry.
[22:09] <badkitty> silentassumption, No there is a 7.10 server edition
[22:09] <tantric132> I just reinstalled Ubuntu for the second time. Lastnight, I looked at the Restricted Drivers and it said that there was a driver update for my nVidia 6600, so I downloaded it, restarted Linux, and bam: my moniter said that the signal was out of range.
[22:09] <jacek> problem is i don't want download spare megabytes of gnome updates
[22:09] <silentassumption> Oh you mean, SE edgy and SE gutsy?
[22:10] <pike_> badkitty: id move from edgy to either the current release or the lts release
[22:10] <badkitty> silentassumption, Yah
[22:10] <amdbcg> tantric132 : can you boot in safe mode?
[22:10] <{Nathan}> jacek: is that a question? You want the easiest way to switch to kubuntu and upgrade to gutsy?
[22:10] <badkitty> pike_, edgy is the lts isnt it
[22:10] <amdbcg> err : command line and then uninstall the driver?
[22:10] <funnyfarm> Allright, I gave ctrl + alt + backspace a try. Is there a way to see if the install was finished?
[22:10] <silentassumption> It's most likely just more support and up to date.
[22:10] <jacek> {Nathan}: yes
[22:10] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} i can't follow can u explain  very slow and clearly
[22:11] <silentassumption> funnyfarm: Yes, restart.
[22:11] <pike_> badkitty: feisty
[22:11] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: open the file /etc/network/interfaces as root, eg gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:11] <badkitty> guess ill just give 7.10  a go  pike_ : Oh you may be right
[22:11] <funnyfarm> Allright, restarting now. I'll still be on my other computer
[22:11] <tantric132> amdbcg, this happened yesterday and I did not know what to do so I just reinstalled Linux(after all, I had just installed it for the first time anyway so I didn't loose anything but time). The resolution was set to something high before I restarted Linux(after installing the driver) so I think that the res was to high to be shown on my moniter but my question is, if it happens again, how do I recover without reinstalling
[22:11] <tantric132> ubuntu
[22:11] <tantric132> safe mode?
[22:12] <{Nathan}> jacek: first, install kubuntu with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" then remove all of ubuntu with "sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop", also, look at your PMs
[22:12] <Hellow> Bodsda: it was a joke
[22:12] <{Nathan}> !gutsy > jacek
[22:12]  * amdbcg is used to Suse
[22:12] <frijolie> alright, i'm going to give it a go...i want to wipe a 160GB HDD which contains Vista and make the switch over to Gutsy
[22:12] <Faust-C> suse sucks way worse than ubuntu i can say that much
[22:12] <frijolie> however, is there recommended sizes for the different partitions?
[22:12] <{Nathan}> frijolie: good for you! What do you need help with?
[22:12] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} ok what next
[22:13] <amdbcg> frijolie: why not just dual boot the thing?
[22:13] <Lettuc3> tantric132 try logging on to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1 for example), and have a look at your xorg.conf.
[22:13] <frijolie> or is the default "use entire disk" alright?
[22:13] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: now, what's the name of the interface? is it wlan0? eth0? what is it?
[22:13] <s0u][ight> eth1
[22:13] <IndyGunFreak> frijolie: the default use entire disk, has always worked fine for me..
[22:13] <jacek> {Nathan}: i know how to update, but that way requires me to update gnome which will be removed straight after switching to kde
[22:13] <Lettuc3> tantric132 if it's something obvious, you can probably fix it by editing the file with nano.
[22:13] <Hellow> frijolie: Gutsy is better than Vista in many ways than one, do you want to keep vista?
[22:13] <sobersabre> hi guys
[22:13] <frijolie> I don't want to keep Vista
[22:13] <{Nathan}> jacek: then do the things in the order I told you to
[22:13] <sobersabre> is Feisty a supported distribution?
[22:13] <frijolie> this will be a new laptop
[22:14] <IndyGunFreak> frijolie: havfe you used Linux before?.. don't cut your safety net completely
[22:14] <Starnestommy> silentassumption: yes, it still is
[22:14] <maximilion> Hmm, no sound applications can now play sound. The only thing I can think of is that I was afk for an hour, so the screen went into hibernate.
[22:14] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: do you see a line that has eth1 in it?
[22:14] <tantric132> Lettuc3, i'm brand new to linux and I know about the terminal, I just don't know what process and what commands to use incase this does happen. If this did happen, all I would need to do would be uninstall the restricted driver for my video card but idk how I would do that in terminal
[22:14] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: if so, give it to me
[22:14] <frijolie> @IndyGunFreak: yes, i haven't used Windows for about 6 months now
[22:14] <Hellow> frijolie: do the "Entire Disk" install if u wish to kill Vista
[22:14] <ffm> How can I run my own ubotu clone?
[22:14] <silentassumption> tantric132: Edit your xorg.conf file
[22:14] <ffm> where is its souce?
[22:14] <s0u][ight> im in windows atm no connection with ubuntu :(
[22:14] <pike_> frijolie: 1. stay away from ati 2. stay away from broadcom chipsets
[22:14] <IndyGunFreak> frijolie: oh ok, well then by all mean, kabosh vista..t hats what i did on my new laptop.
[22:14] <maximilion> Any thoughts? Can I 'rescan' usb and Ubuntu can connect to the USB audio card again?
[22:14] <frijolie> @Hellow isn't there recommended sizes for the /swap and /home directories?
[22:14] <IndyGunFreak> wireless has been my only issue., i think my chipset is jsut to new
[22:14] <jacek> maximilion: just reconnect it
[22:15] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: so you are writing this down?
[22:15] <Lettuc3> tantric132 ah ok... maybe one of the other guys will be able to point you out in the right direction. sorry. :(
[22:15] <silentassumption> tantric132: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:15] <frijolie> sizes = partition space
[22:15] <s0u][ight> yeah
[22:15] <frijolie> does it really matter?
[22:15] <IndyGunFreak> frijolie: swap, is generally 1.5-2x your memory...
[22:15] <sobersabre> guys, does feisty get security updates ?
[22:15] <Hellow> frijolie: Well, swap i reccommend to be 1 Gig, and /home to be the rest of the disk
[22:15] <Flannel> sobersabre: yes
[22:15] <IndyGunFreak> frijolie: but like i said, i always just "use entire disk", and it works fine for me.
[22:15] <cosmodad> frijolie: if you wanna do suspend-to-disk, have swap at least the size of your RAM.
[22:15] <tantric132> silentassumption, im guessing that would open some kind of doc? what would I do after typing that in?
[22:15] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: well then, make sure you have a line that says "iface eth0 inet dhcp" then right after that, "wireless-essid youressidhere"
[22:15] <sobersabre> So, theoretically, my feisty ssh server should be getting the vmsplice bug fixed already ?
[22:15] <pike_> frijolie: old rule was swap twice ram but with modern machines its more swap = ram or a little more for suspend to work
[22:15] <silentassumption> tantric132: You can edit your resolution there.
[22:15] <frijolie> @pike, yeah I've got an Intel965 Express, but just found out that I've got a RealTek wifi card that will take some tweaking
[22:16] <maximilion_> !rescan usb
[22:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rescan usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:16] <tantric132> oh I see! well thanks bro!
[22:16] <Hellow> firjolie, er, / to be the rest of the disk
[22:16] <cosmodad> 1.5-2x doesn't seem appropriate to me these days anymore. I'd cap it at 512 or 1024 MB.
[22:16] <amdbcg> !wireless
[22:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[22:16] <sourcemaker> vmware-server not working
[22:16] <Hellow> brb
[22:16] <s0u][ight> ok next
[22:16] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: then, run "sudo modprobe <whatever the driver name was, bcm something", "sudo ifdown eth1" then "sudo ifup eth1".
[22:16] <pike_> frijolie: /home will be your biggest partition after a while / .. about 5 gigs 8-10 to be sure if you have the space
[22:17] <frijolie> does it really matter perfecting the sizes of your partitions?
[22:17] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: that SHOULD give you internet. If not, record as much info as you can and come back here and pm / contact me
[22:17] <sourcemaker> I have removed vmware-player and installed vmware-server. Now I get the following error message: Module vmnet is not loaded.  Please verify that it is loaded before running this script.
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: thats it?.. i've got 5gigs of music in my home folder.
[22:17] <s0u][ight> bcm43xx
[22:17] <ffm> frijolie: its hard to change later.
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> bout 30-40gigs of videos
[22:17] <pike_> IndyGunFreak: for / yeah my old feisty default install was like 1.8
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: oh i was talking about /home
[22:17] <frijolie> @pike_ yeah I knew that the /home directory will become the largest after a while..once you install applications
[22:17] <jacek> IndyGunFreak: legal, of course
[22:17] <silentassumption> IndyGunFreak: I have 12 Brontobytes of music.
[22:17] <pike_> IndyGunFreak: i have about 80 for home and 300 for /mnt/shared/ with all movies and stuff
[22:17] <||arifaX> sourcemaker: I think you have to compile it?
[22:17] <Lettuc3> time for sleep.
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> jacek: absolutely!.. :)
[22:17] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: yes, modprobe that. I couldn't remember what it is.
[22:18] <pike_> IndyGunFreak: that i bought of course
[22:18] <frijolie> @ffm that's why i'm trying to get recommended partition sizes so I can customize it, if they really matter
[22:18] <s0u][ight> {Nathan} next?
[22:18] <maximilion_> Power management settings seem ok... any way to avoid Ubuntu powering down USB devices? Because I remember VLC shut down the first time I accessed it after the screen sleepmode
[22:18] <badkitty> IndyGunFreak, I have 26 Gigs of music and 60 Gigs of video
[22:18] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: lol, we're all honest joe's here, paying for our music and all.
[22:18] <funnyfarm299> By the way, will someone tell me how to do that thing to make the text directed for a specific user?
[22:18] <sourcemaker> ||arifaX: why should I do that? Vmware-player was working fine
[22:18] <IndyGunFreak> badkitty: geez..
[22:18] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: that's all it takes. If anything goes wrong, tell me what it is and I'll try to help
[22:18] <jacek> i have 30G of mp3 and over 250G of videos
[22:18] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: one last thing.
[22:18] <s0u][ight> ...
[22:18] <jacek> and who's the master?
[22:18] <silentassumption> And by 60 Gigs of video, she means 60 Gigs of pr0n videos.
[22:19] <jacek> excluding pr0n over 200G
[22:19] <||arifaX> sourcemaker: I am using only workstation and I need to compile the module at every kernel update so I thought it might help
[22:19] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: I used to have a card that used that driver about a year ago, and I never got the open source drivers working
[22:19] <badkitty> silentassumption, Actually I have 0 bytes of pr0n
[22:19] <IndyGunFreak> jacek: lol
[22:19] <pike_> frijolie: big thing is /home and enough left over in / for /tmp not to run out because if it cant write to /tmp it is kinda crappy to fix if youre pretty new
[22:19] <frijolie> @silentassumption do you have "Naughty Babysitters 9"?
[22:19] <LjL> !ot
[22:19] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:19] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: I always had to use ndiswrapper, but that was a long time ago and before the restricted drivers manager
[22:19] <frijolie> that's my favorite..hehe j/k
[22:19] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: do you have hp notebook?
[22:19] <silentassumption> I have Naughty Babysitters 9 and 10.
[22:19] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: so have at it
[22:19] <silentassumption> Those are stellar.
[22:19] <LjL> stop please
[22:19] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: torrents please
[22:19] <s0u][ight> ||arifaX yes
[22:19] <Flannel> sobersabre: It doesn't already (that I can see in the changelog) but it will recieve it.  yes.

[22:19] <ubotu> piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[22:20] <Lettuc3> sourcemaker vmware-server from the repos installs vmnet. at least, it has on my machine.
[22:20] <silentassumption> Nathan, www.sourpatch.org
[22:20] <royharperoff> hmm ...
[22:20] <{Nathan}> silentassumption: lol... so tempted to link to goatse right now
[22:20] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: i have 6715b and it only works with ndiswrapper and the redmond driver, but works good, (currently using it :) )
[22:20] <frijolie> does anyone know of a good HOWTO on the proper partitioning of a HDD?
[22:20] <LjL> i don't THINK SO. i said STOP
[22:20] <LjL> !ot
[22:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:20] <silentassumption> I don't think goatse is stil online.
[22:20] <BoD[]> Hey!
[22:20] <pike_> frijolie: what is the hd size?
[22:21] <Lettuc3> sourcemaker maybe something to do with not purging vmware player? if i remember correctly, if the installer can't find an appropriate pre-compiled module for your distro/architecture, then it will try to compile one for you, but not otherwise.
[22:21] <s0u][ight> well i need it to work with aircrack-ng suite
[22:21] <frijolie> @pike_ 160GB
[22:21] <silentassumption> s0u][ight: Planning a hack attack?
[22:21] <s0u][ight> naah security tests
[22:21] <silentassumption> Hah, that's what they all say.
[22:21] <badkitty> s0u][ight, backtrack2 ???
[22:21] <s0u][ight> no 3
[22:21] <sourcemaker> Lettuc3: yes... I did not purge... only remove
[22:21] <silentassumption> "I'm pen testing my neighbours security"
[22:21] <badkitty> s0u][ight, 3 came out?
[22:21] <oeb> Hmmm, think I should have went with the text install option, this fecking laptop is taking way too long to boot into the live cd.
[22:21] <s0u][ight> beta very good
[22:21] <pike_> frijolie: 10 for / 2.5 for /tmp rest for /home i guess personally i like a small 10MB /boot too
[22:22] <LjL> i thought i gave enough clues with regards to "stop"
[22:22] <LjL> !ot
[22:22] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:22] <s0u][ight> they got compiz etc.
[22:22] <pike_> frijolie: swap = ram
[22:22] <Soludra> I can't figure out how to shut down the "X server" so I can install my nVidia drivers, can someone help me?
[22:22] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: I think that might never ever work with broadcom in this notebook
[22:22] <jacek> btw. 7.04 have compiz or compiz-fusion
[22:22] <BoD[]> Hey I have a networking question. I have a box with one nic, and it appears as "eth1", but previously it was "eth0".  I don't know what I did.  What defines the nic names?
[22:22] <{Nathan}> Soludra: hit ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the X server
[22:22] <ffm> BoD[]: magic.
[22:22] <s0u][ight> ||arifaX they got new developments
[22:22] <LjL> silentassumption: also, sorry for taking so long to get my Flash to work with your site
[22:22] <Lettuc3> sourcemaker i can't say for sure that's the problem, but it's something to think of... i dont think you'd have to compile it manually though.
[22:22] <s0u][ight> like b43 driver instead of bcm43XX
[22:22] <||arifaX> s0u][ight: sounds good
[22:22] <BoD[]> ffm: :)
[22:22] <pike_> BoD[]: in older versions there is a file in /etc/ but its not there in gutsy so not sure
[22:23] <Soludra> {Nathan}, I don't want to restart it, I want to shut it down temporarily, so I can install the nVidia drivers, and then bring it back up.
[22:23] <Soludra> That's what the directions say =P
[22:23] <Lettuc3> right. bedtime for good this time. laters people.
[22:23] <ffm> BoD[]: maybe you plugged in a usb-ethernet or have another adapter (pseudoadapter)?
[22:23] <Tiven> goodnight Lettuc3
[22:23] <s0u][ight> but the bad thing is they have to develop the drivers with reversed engeneering
[22:23] <Radly> Barack Obama voted FOR the Patriot Act, more funding for America's aggression in Iraq, and every increased spending measure he could get his lying articulate hands on. Hmmm lets add some more contradictions and exposed lies...... In the NH debate, he called for going into Pakistan. In many speaches he has advocated going into Africa for peacekeeping. (Sounds like that would be worse than Vietnam!)
[22:23] <s0u][ight> the company aint helping
[22:23] <BoD[]> ffm: no I didn't plug anything new
[22:23] <Radly> Oh yeah!!! THAT WILL REALLY HEAL AMERICA. Keep on believing it Obamatards. You all will be sorry, as Barack Hussein Obama is no better than Clinton or Edwards.
[22:23] <s0u][ight> no politics plz
[22:24] <BoD[]> ffm: the odd thing, when I look dmesg, it seems that it detects eth0.. It doesn't say anything about eth1
[22:24] <s0u][ight> damn  i got to wake up early but i don't wanna sleep atm XD
[22:24] <jacek> s0u][ight: bad thing is when you kill alternator in genset which go to customer at friday
[22:24] <ffm> BoD[]: no idea then.
[22:24] <BoD[]> ffm: but then if I try ifup eth0 : no such device
[22:24] <BoD[]> oh
[22:25] <BoD[]> is there somewhere in /dev where I can see network adapters?
[22:25] <s0u][ight> grrrrr hopefully i get my new laptop soon
[22:25] <{Nathan}> Soludra: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[22:25] <jacek> BoD[]: no
[22:25] <s0u][ight> i'm gonna buy a fully supported one
[22:25] <Soludra> {Nathan}: Gutsy
[22:25] <s0u][ight> no hp for me anymore
[22:25] <funnyfarm299> How do you direct text at a specific person in IRC?
[22:25] <{Nathan}> Soludra: if you run the restricted-drivers-manager then you can install the nvidia driver without shutting down X
[22:25] <ArionH> Hi all
[22:25] <{Nathan}> funnyfarm299: just like this
[22:25] <BoD[]> :(
[22:25] <jacek> s0u][ight: i have now sony vaio VGN-FE21B and everything work out of box
[22:26] <Soludra> {Nathan}: I don't think the manager updates the driver though, does it?
[22:26] <ffm> funnyfarm299: or you do "/msg <name? <message>"
[22:26] <s0u][ight> how much does it cost?
[22:26] <dookdook> my friend is running feisty with a dual boot, multi-headed machine.  he says its freezing randomely...any ideas on how to debug this problem?
[22:26] <Starnestommy> funnyfarm299: like this?
[22:26] <funnyfarm299> Yes
[22:26] <jacek> i don't know
[22:26] <s0u][ight> can u give specifications?
[22:26] <cosmodad> dookdook: checking the RAM with memtest would be a starter.
[22:26] <jacek> core duo 1,6GHz
[22:26] <{Nathan}> s0u][ight: or, if you get an older laptop the hardware is more likely to be supported
[22:26] <Starnestommy> funnyfarm299: say someone's nickname in a message
[22:26] <badkitty> funnyfarm299, I believe you have to be registered to do that though
[22:26] <jenda> I just close an unsaved document in openoffice. I think I have very frequent autosaves. Where can I find them? What do I do next? I'm afraid to open teh document lest I lose the autosaves, which I suppose are considered temporary files.
[22:26] <s0u][ight> naah no oldies
[22:26] <jacek> 1G memory, wifi (intel)
[22:27] <s0u][ight> what chipset?
[22:27] <s0u][ight> say atheros
[22:27] <cosmodad> jenda: I think autosave is for crashes, not closing docs unsaved.
[22:27] <ibou> what is "binfmt_misc" in my mtab for ?
[22:27] <jenda> cosmodad: but they are saved somewhere, aren't they?
[22:27] <funnyfarm299> funnyfarm299: Thanks guys for helping me install
[22:27] <yannl>  hi, i deleted my panel by mistake . I restored it manually but nome some functions are disabled (tray icon: programms just disapear etc.). How can I restore the original one?
[22:27] <jacek> 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 03)
[22:28] <jacek> from lspci
[22:28] <LjL> !resetpanel | yannl
[22:28] <ubotu> yannl: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[22:28] <jacek> ibou: binformat misc
[22:28] <cosmodad> jenda: I don't know enough about OOo (isn't there a channel on freenode too?), but I'd say it'll be discarded once you close the doc either saved or unsaved.
[22:28] <s0u][ight> hmmm what driver do u use for it?
[22:28] <unikon> Whats the difference between the 710 Cd compared to the 7.10 DVD
[22:28] <jacek> ibou: nice thing for automatic loading windows binaries into wine
[22:28] <ibou> jacek: thanks a lot
[22:28] <s0u][ight> i'm off cyaaa
[22:28] <LjL> unikon: the DVD comes with more software on it. which you can install from the internet anyway
[22:29] <kostkon> jenda, you could check your .openoffice-org2 folder
[22:29] <jenda> cosmodad: there is, but no response... there is a file in .openoffice/backup ... it is a .bak file
[22:29] <jenda> kostkon: working on it.
[22:29] <kostkon> jenda, ok
[22:31] <PodMan99a> hey all any news on when 8.10 will be out?
[22:31] <Starnestommy> PodMan99a: April 6, iirc
[22:31] <LjL> err, that would be 8.04
[22:32] <PodMan99a> Starnestommy, genius... any changelog out for that at the moment?? or do i have to bu**er off and check when its out
[22:32] <umdoistres> hi, a install a program (LiVES) and everething ok, but the program don't run..
[22:32] <LjL> PodMan99a, *8.04* will be out in april, not 8.10
[22:32] <{Nathan}> How come the ubuntu realeases go from .04 to .10 to whole number + 1 .04 again?
[22:32] <jenda> Can't find anything usefull there :(
[22:33] <frijolie> so does this sound like a good idea? swap = 2GB (size of my RAM), / = 5GB, and /home = rest of HDD?
[22:33] <LjL> {Nathan}: it's the month of release.
[22:33] <PodMan99a> LjL, close.... lol only .06 out.... lol any change log out for that yet?
[22:33] <LjL> PodMan99a: .06...?
[22:33] <{Nathan}> LjL: wow, that makes so much sense. Thanks.
[22:33] <orgy`> hi, is there a way to automatically recover files from the lost+found dir?
[22:33] <jenda> {Nathan}: they don't go to whole number, though :)
[22:33] <ArionH> does anyone know how much bandwith a webserver needs? i just set up an ubuntu lamp server and want to know how much this will stress my connection
[22:33] <{Nathan}> that explains 6.06 too :p
[22:34] <{Nathan}> ArionH: depends on how many hits you get
[22:34] <PodMan99a> LjL, ... maths man maths.... ne way.... changelog?
[22:34] <TurtleOfDoom> ArionH: 0 if no one connects to it, infinite if the whole world likes your site

[22:34] <smros> I keep getting stuck on a 7.10 install, during disk partitioning,  at the step where it says "detecting file systems".  anyone else have this problem?
[22:34] <ArionH> ok :) thanks :)
[22:34] <toresn> i'm having some problems playing dvds ... they _can_ play them, but the quality isn't too good ... what does "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" mean ?
[22:35] <rikkimaru> How can I get my webcame working in ubuntu?
[22:35] <PodMan99a> LjL, ubotu is a damn cool tool
[22:35] <toresn> i'm having some problems playing dvds ... i _can_ play them, but the quality isn't too good ... what does "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" mean ?
[22:35] <TheRealFaceOfBoe> does anyone here have experience of gmailfs?
[22:36] <||arifaX> TheRealFaceOfBoe: tried it I think 1 year ago, worked fine
[22:36] <umdoistres> hi, a install a program (LiVES) and everething ok, but the program don't run, the error message is "command not found", but, the "readme" file, says that the command is that..
[22:36] <||arifaX> TheRealFaceOfBoe: has some limits in filename length and depth
[22:38] <TheRealFaceOfBoe> ||arifax: i have been trying to get it up and running and have encountered problems, did you have any when you did it?
[22:38] <KLR250_Rider> hi
[22:38] <Soludra> Grrrreat... when I start up the graphical stuff again (afteri nstalling my NVIDIA stuff) it comes up garbled and shifted off screen...
[22:38] <Watchforice> yo
[22:39] <Soludra> so I'm stuck on ircII from the command line here >_<
[22:39] <||arifaX> TheRealFaceOfBoe: first experience was with windows, there was an extension to show the "g-drive" in explorer and then i tried it under linux. I could mount my gmail as fs in ubuntu.
[22:39] <Soludra> any ideas? >_<
[22:39] <Watchforice> anyone explain to me what is actually supposed to happen when i place the Ubuntu disk in my drive and restart the comp and tell it to run/install unbuntu?
[22:40] <MIFI> Hi, does anyone Know a Quick and easy way to install Compiz? It's because i want to demonstrate a friend some features of ubuntu.
[22:40] <Starnestommy> Soludra: isn't ircII outdated?
[22:40] <Soludra> Starnestommy, didn't I just say I broke GNOME?
[22:40] <||arifaX> TheRealFaceOfBoe: I think I used http://tinyurl.com/3ofk6
[22:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   select vesa mode 1024  will get you back into gui then you can go from there
[22:40] <Soludra> I'm stuck on the command line. There's not much IRC-wise I can use...
[22:40] <TheRealFaceOfBoe> ||arifax: i'll check it out, cheers
[22:40] <kyle__> Watchforice, um
[22:40] <badkitty> Watchforice, It is supposed to boot to a screen where you have the option to test the disk or run a liveCD session
[22:40] <Jack_Sparrow> MIFI: If you have gutsy, you have compiz
[22:40] <Soludra> k, thanks, I'll try that.
[22:41] <Watchforice> ok
[22:41] <kyle__> badkitty, you fail.
[22:41] <Watchforice> im very new
[22:41] <badkitty> kyle__, I do?
[22:41] <kyle__> Watchforice, he's wrong
[22:41] <Watchforice> i thought it was supposed to go directly to the OS
[22:41] <Watchforice> off of the cd
[22:41] <faber> can someone help me with a sound problem?
[22:41] <Watchforice> but i get a prompt
[22:41] <kyle__> Watchforice, you press enter and a progress bar shows
[22:41] <Jack_Sparrow> MIFI: Please do not pm people without asking.. thanks.
[22:41] <pike_> Watchforice: unless it has a problem loading the gui then you might get a prompt
[22:42] <Jack_Sparrow> MIFI: What you will need to add.. is ccsm
[22:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm
[22:42] <Khisanth> you press enter and a cylon shows up :P
[22:42] <kyle__> Watchforice, indicating the progress of ubuntu loading
[22:42] <ubotu> To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[22:42] <danand_> Soludra - have you checked for errors in your X logs? cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep '(WW|EW)'
[22:42] <MIFI> oups ok jack.. is there an alternative way? i am a unregisted user
[22:42] <badkitty> kyle__, You dont get the option of to test the disk, boot the disk, etc?
[22:42] <Watchforice> kyle__ yeah i get that but after a second of the orange bar, i get a prompt
[22:42] <kyle__> Watchforice, ah ok
[22:42] <Jack_Sparrow> MIFI: Alternate way for what.. getting ccsm?
[22:42] <kyle__> Watchforice, whats it say?
[22:43] <dieter_> hi
[22:43] <Watchforice> um
[22:43] <MIFI> PMing U ;)
[22:43] <HangukMiguk> where are the larger icons for Pidgin located in ubuntu? i've been searching for them so i can get idesk configured
[22:43] <TheRealFaceOfBoe> ||arifax: yea, that is what i am using, the first problem i ran into was an out of date python gmail libary which i have updated
[22:43] <Watchforice> i forgot what it says
[22:43] <kyle__> badkitty, you do, but you slightly confused him
[22:43] <Watchforice> give me a dir
[22:43] <sarthor> how can i put adds on my website???
[22:43] <dieter_> is this the ubuntu helpdesk?
[22:43] <badkitty> kyle__, how is that?
[22:43] <Watchforice> kyle__ gives me a directory they a blinking underscore
[22:43] <badkitty> kyle__, and FAIL is such a harsh word, you dont have to be so abrasive
[22:44] <faber> anyone? cant get sound, I had sound, but after a reboot it died.
[22:44] <Watchforice> then*
[22:44] <Jack_Sparrow> MIFI: You need to ask people in advance if it is ok.. we also prefer people to stay in channel.. It keeps you from getting bad advice and helps others in how to deal with the issue if it comes up
[22:44] <kyle__> badkitty, "<Watchforice> anyone explain to me what is actually supposed to happen when i place the Ubuntu disk in my drive and restart the comp and **tell it to run/install unbuntu**?"
[22:44] <kyle__> tr0gd0r, ^^
[22:45] <Jack_Sparrow> kyle__: You should get a full desktop os.. if it is the live cd and not the text install alternate.  if live fails...
[22:45] <Jack_Sparrow> At start or install F6 and before the -- there are a number of option you can try.  noapic  or acpi=off   are common ones
[22:45] <Watchforice> :)
[22:45] <tr0gd0r> kyle__, Oh .. your right about not running a liveCD session thats if he is booting it in windows or whatever.. yah it does go to the install stuff where you can also test disk etc
[22:45] <mohamed> hi all, any one can help me with uclibc-toolchain?, I'm using ubuntu 7.10
[22:45] <HangukMiguk> where are the larger icons for Pidgin located in ubuntu? i've been searching for them so i can get idesk configured
[22:45] <faber> so much for help... I'll just surf the web and find something... I hope
[22:45] <faber> bye
[22:45] <kyle__> tr0gd0r, he mentioned the install stuff already, see the thing in **'s
[22:46] <Watchforice> i dont understand the tutorials online say that it doesnt matter if im have windows, if i boot the CD it should load the OS off of the disk, like a demo
[22:46] <danand_> HangukMiguk - type locate pidgin | grep png | grep icons in a terminal
[22:46] <unikon> i hate it when people asking for help ask the questions then leave abruptly without giving anyone a chance to respond
[22:46] <filo1234> hi to all...i need to use my phone LG KU385 for internet connection trought bluetooth ....when i get wvdial result is modem not responding have some idea?
[22:47] <kyle__> Watchforice, you were asking what happens AFTER you press enter on "run/install ubuntu"
[22:47] <kyle__> Watchforice, when you put the CD in and reboot
[22:47] <HangukMiguk> danand_: thanks
[22:47] <Watchforice> asking what is "supposed to happen"
[22:47] <Watchforice> cause i get a prompt after the loading bar
[22:47] <kyle__> Watchforice, what does it say, we'd like to know
[22:47] <Watchforice> after i select install/run ubuntu
[22:48] <Watchforice> i will reboot and tell you hang tight
[22:48] <grawww> if I'm told "You should have the following lines in modprobe.conf"... where is my modprobe.conf file?
[22:48] <danand_> HangukMiguk - try /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/logo.png too
[22:48] <Watchforice> I will be right back kyle__
[22:48] <kyle__> !modprobe.conf
[22:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe.conf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:48] <kyle__> !modprobe
[22:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:48] <kyle__> ok
[22:48] <kyle__> grawww, um
[22:48] <kyle__> grawww, maybe /etc/modprobe or something like that.
[22:49] <grawww> kyle__: it's not there
[22:49] <kyle__> grawww, i mean in /etc sorry
[22:49] <Ademan> has anyone noticed that at larger sizes freetype renders fonts "fatter" than, say, cleartype or truetype?  (The glyphs' lines seem thicker)
[22:49] <grawww> i'm trying to follow the instructions here: http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Generic_SAA7134_Card_Installation but, they seem incomplete for noobs
[22:49] <danand_> HangukMiguk - try  locate pidgin | grep png | less and look through those results if you don't find what you want from previous
[22:50] <FLUXxXx> Hello! How can I make sure a friend's Ubuntu system is IPv6 Ready? Where do i look? What do i install?
[22:50] <Ademan> grawww: /etc/modprobe.conf i believe
[22:51] <Ademan> FLUXxXx: it should be by default, generally people with only ipv4 have had to manually turn off ipv6 support
[22:51] <Streetie>  /msg nickserv link <StreetDevil> <hkg154>
[22:51] <stroyan> grawww, kyle__ : try 'man modprobe.conf' .  All  the files in /etc/modprobe.d are read as modeprobe.conf files.
[22:51] <Streetie>  /msg nickserv link <StreetDevil> <hkg154>
[22:51] <mohbana> hey guys i am kinda stuck i reinstalled fedora and i decided to install grub into the mbr, now i can't boot at all into ubuntu
[22:51] <Soludra> Reconfiguring gnome didn't work. When I start up the graphical interface (I come up to the login screen), the whole screen is pushed down and above it is junk color, and the screen is also looped around to the left (so the "screen border" is in the middle of the screen, and I can move the mouse off the left side to the right). X_X
[22:51] <kyle__> FLUXxXx, it is IPv6 ready!
[22:51] <FLUXxXx> not me, a friend's
[22:51] <FLUXxXx> Ademan: so where do i look?
[22:51] <tr0gd0r> Anyone describe what difference is between openvpn and ssh?
[22:51] <kyle__> FLUXxXx, same thing
[22:51] <grawww> stroyan: so is there any way to open up the file?
[22:52] <FLUXxXx> lsmod | grep ipv6 should be enough?
[22:52] <Ademan> FLUXxXx: you shouldn't have to, it should already be turned on
[22:52] <umdoistres> hi, a install a program (LiVES) and everething ok, but the program don't run, the error message is "command not found", but, the "readme" file, says that the command is that..
[22:52] <muramasa> Could someone share a big and nice sources.list? I'm a 7.10 user if that matters :-)
[22:52] <Ademan> muramasa: lol, if you're looking for stuff to add i reccomend the bleeding edge wine repos, and medibuntu
[22:53] <sourcemaker> I have a defect vmware-player installation. In adapet "vmware-player" is red... how can I solve the problem?
[22:53] <rikkimaru> how can i get my webcam working?"
[22:53] <cellofellow> is there anybody who knows how ID3 tags work?
[22:53] <FLUXxXx> Ademan: there has to be some way to test it. for example, i tell my friend 'hey, check XX out, if it prints YES, your system is ipv6 ready, if not...."
[22:53] <FLUXxXx> SOMETHING
[22:53] <stroyan> grawww: You can edit the files in /etc/modprobe.d/  Or you can add a new file in that directory to add more configuration lines.  The change to a directory was intended to make maintainance easier.
[22:53] <Ademan> muramasa: also technically you're not supposed to hand modify sources.list anymore, there's a directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  where you put individual files in for other repositories
[22:53] <pike_> umdoistres: so that means the command isnt in the $PATH.
[22:53] <Streetie> can someone tal private message to me? anything...
[22:53] <Soludra> No help for the guy who broke his graphics? >_>
[22:53] <kyle__> FLUXxXx, run that command!
[22:53] <rikkimaru> can someone please help me get my webcam working?
[22:53] <Ademan> FLUXxXx: of course you can test it but i'm trying to say unless he did something to turn it off, it IS on already
[22:53] <umdoistres> pike_: and how ai concert this ?
[22:53] <Ademan> !webcam
[22:53] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[22:53] <rikkimaru> thank you
[22:53] <Jack_Sparrow> FLUXxXx: 6 is the standard install..
[22:53] <grawww> stroyan: so when it says to add: "alias char-major-81 videodev", what file should that be under in modprobe.d
[22:53] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, Really? thats interesting.. good diea
[22:54] <muramasa> Ademan, ah I see :-) Not too well adapted I suppose hehe
[22:54] <watchforice> kyle__ ok im back
[22:54] <cellofellow> I have these impossible MP3 files that I cannot for the life of me tag so that my MP3 player can read the tags.
[22:54] <Ademan> muramasa, tr0gd0r: yeah it makes it easier to add/remove repositories in an automated fashion without having to have a super complex text processor lol
[22:54] <pike_> umdoistres: what is this application and how did you install it?
[22:54] <watchforice> its says (initramfs)
[22:54] <Streetie> can aynone tell me something private or do u know if i'm stuck or not?
[22:55] <Streetie> not sure if verything of irc works yet
[22:55] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, I like the idea, kinda reminds me of server site setups
[22:55] <Soludra> So either i'm being ignored, or no-one knows what to do about my problem?
[22:55] <Ademan> muramasa, tr0gd0r: if you guys look at the instructions for adding medibuntu or the wine repositories it follows the new convention (for instance medibuntu creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list   and fills it with the data regarding its repository)
[22:55] <umdoistres> pike_: its the "LiVES" and i install for the "./configure"
[22:56] <pike_> !ask | Streetie :-)
[22:56] <ubotu> Streetie :-): Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   select vesa mode 1024
[22:56] <grawww> stroyan: I guess it goes into "aliases", but how do I "activate"?  do i need to reboot for changes to modprobe.conf... or do I need to do something else?
[22:56] <muramasa> Ademan, didn't know that actually :-) thanks for telling me about it
[22:56] <stroyan> grawww: You should have a look in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and in particular the lines that refer to videodev
[22:56] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: I already did the reconfiguring stuff. It didn't help.
[22:56] <Ademan> np :-)
[22:56] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, Hmm I never saw that... is that from medibuntu site or ubuntu site?
[22:56] <Ademan> tr0gd0r: medibuntu's, one sec
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: what did you set it at?
[22:56] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, That must be brand new
[22:56] <pike_> umdoistres: ok so you did a ./configure? did you then type 'make' ?
[22:57] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: I had to go through the whole configuring thing, there was a lot to set.
[22:57] <Ademan> tr0gd0r: it's kinda the successor to the plf repositories, it's got all those packages that no one else dares host :-p (like w32codecs and libdvdcss2)
[22:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: Did you set it to vesa card and 1024 max
[22:57] <danand_> kyle - think modprobe.conf has been replaced with the seperate files in the directory /etc/modprobe.d - see man modprobe.conf for more details
[22:57] <umdoistres> pike_: how i finish the installation ?
[22:58] <grawww> stroyan: ok, so this line says: alias char-major-81-* videodev
[22:58] <Soludra> Um.. I don't think so. I set something to nvidia (cause I just installed drivers from nvidia).
[22:58] <grawww> stroyan:  does the star mean anything?
[22:58] <stroyan> grawww: You may be able to get a configuration change to apply by using 'modprobe -r module; modprobe module'.  But you should always try a reboot after editing a file like that to see what you broke.
[22:58] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: Um.. I don't think so. I set something to nvidia (cause I just installed drivers from nvidia).
[22:58] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, I have those installed ;-) I didn't notice where it installed to though...very neat
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: Then you didnt listen, which makes it hard to help you
[22:58] <pike_> umdoistres: do you have a readme or install file in the directory?
[22:58] <Ademan> tr0gd0r, muramasa:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu   http://winehq.org/site/download-deb     you'll notice they both create  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<repository_name>.list :-)
[22:58] <pike_> umdoistres: ls command to see
[22:58] <watchforice> whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs)
[22:58] <Ademan> k i'm done now :-p
[22:58] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: It's kind of hard to read things from ircII, sorry.
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   select vesa mode 1024
[22:59] <Soludra> alright.
[22:59] <ambrose__> hey quick question, how do u check conflicting packages?
[22:59] <pike_> umdoistres: generic answer is 1. ./configure  2. make  3. sudo make install
[22:59] <toresn> i'm having some problems playing dvds ... i _can_ play them, but the quality isn't too good ... what does "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" mean ?
[22:59] <tr0gd0r> Ademan, Yeah I see.
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: Once you get into gui, you need to post your xorg.conf and run a few tests.
[23:00] <mohbana> hey guys i am kinda stuck i reinstalled fedora and i decided to install grub into the mbr, now i can't boot at all into ubuntu
[23:00] <Survivorman> Solundra left Jack_Sparrow
[23:00] <ambrose__> how do u check conflicting packages?
[23:00] <streetdevil> hi all
[23:01] <grawww> how do you scroll up in irssi?
[23:01] <stroyan> grawww: The star is a wildcard matching any string.  (See 'man modprobe.conf' again.)  I would guess that you want to comment out the original line as it competes with the lines listed on the URL you are using.  But this video config doesn't look familar to me.
[23:01] <umdoistres> pike_: and how is the sintaxe of "make" and "sudo make install" ?
 what exactly do you want to find out
[23:01] <credible> grawww: pg up
[23:01] <danand_> ambrose - you can check in aptitude. For any give package press enter on it and in the bottom half of the screen it should give you a list of packages that the package depends on / conflicts with etc
[23:01] <pike_> mohbana: so grub on the first 512 bytes of the disk is now pointing to the boot dir on your fedora box you either edit that menu.lst or rerun grub install in ubuntu so it can rewrite the mbr to point to its boot/grub dir
[23:01] <cellofellow> How can I tag my MP3 files for my MP3 player? They normally work with files I download, but stuff I rip just doesn't work will enough. Must be the apps I'm using.
[23:01] <credible> grawww: you can also use the /scrollback command
[23:02] <vasilisa> #windows is not answering and my girlfriend seems to think Im her personal tech support. can ANYONE get her off the phone so i can play final fantasy again, just by telling me whether to log into "i386" or "miniNT" from the recovcery console??
[23:02] <ambrose__> well my friends repos are jack so we cant install anything
[23:02] <streetdevil> is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu?
[23:02] <pike_> umdoistres: ./configure; make;sudo make isntall  <-- might work might not
[23:02] <streetdevil> seems he doesn't see my files
[23:03] <tato> how install restricted driver for ati 9100 pro?
[23:03] <watchforice> whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs), why is this?
[23:03] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: it's really only _just_ better enough to be able to get on mIRC instead of going back to ircII. I still have a kind of large row of junk data at the top of the screen, and the screen still loops horizontally.
[23:03]  * vasilisa looks around for help
[23:03] <Jack_Sparrow> mohbana: To get ubuntu and keep fedora you should ask in fedora on how to edit the grub config grub that their installer setup
[23:03] <vasilisa> come on guys
[23:03] <ambrose__> any thoughts guys
[23:03] <danand_> cellofellow - there is an excellent package called easytag for tagging mp3's, ogg vorbis files etc. it also lets you do batch renaming of files etc based on the entries in the tag
[23:03] <ambrose__> i mean i tried juss about everything
[23:03] <danand_> cellofellow - just sudo apt-get install easytag
[23:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: miRC ? what os are you in?
[23:03] <cellofellow> danand_: I know EasyTag. Is there somewhere I can get advanced help on the thing? It has a lot of settings and some things just aren't working.
[23:03] <streetdevil> is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu?
[23:03] <Soludra> Ubuntu.  With Wine.
[23:03] <streetdevil> seems he doesn't see my files
[23:04] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: Ubuntu.  With Wine.
[23:04] <streetdevil> ...
[23:05] <streetdevil> is there a way to get ure files from ure windows HD and load em into ubuntu?
[23:05] <streetdevil> seems he doesn't see my files
[23:05] <ph0rensic> Can anyone explain the difference between VPN and SSH?
[23:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: post your xorg to the pastebin.. not in the channel.. identify what type of video card you are using and install xchat or something so you are not running wine and complicating the problem
[23:05] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: A VPN is an encrypted tunnel creating a virtual LAN over a WAN. SSH can be used to encrypt that tunnel but so can other systems.
[23:05] <Jack_Sparrow> streetdevil: Please do not repeat
[23:06] <xeom> Im running into a lot of keyboard lag is there anyway to reduce this? as i type something it sometimes takes a while to acctualy show up on the screen for instance i can finish typing a whole word and then it will pop up.
[23:06] <streetdevil> ah soz but 'm new into ubutu and didn't think u guys saw it
[23:06] <Jack_Sparrow> xeom: then something is wrong.. that is not normal
[23:06] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: SSH is primarily for remote shell login with encryption. Like an encrypted Telnet.
[23:06] <danand_> cellofellow - can be a bit intimidating at first ... try man easytag or visit the homepage for help
[23:06] <stroyan> ph0rensic: A vpn is a transparent mapping of IP addresses to another network.  ssh is most often used for a shell connection.  It can also tunnel one particular port at a time to a machine on another network.
[23:06] <xeom> i acctualy have to turn off repeat keys because its so bad
[23:06] <xavieran> xeom: What are your hardware statistics?
[23:06] <cellofellow> danand_: ok.
[23:07]  * tcpdumpgod tips his hat to Jack_Sparrow 
[23:07] <xeom> amd 5600+ 2GB ram 8800GTS
[23:07] <ph0rensic> stroyan, Are these two apps used in conjunction with eachother or are they used : either/or?
[23:07] <dookdook> i would like to install linux-image-2.6.20-15-386, but its saying it can't find it...suggestions?
[23:07] <danand_> cellofellow - stick with it though - its very powerful and worth the effort - luck
[23:07] <xavieran> Ok...
[23:07] <xeom> keyboardis a old logitech i had laying around
[23:07] <xavieran> I would say your swap is not mounted...
[23:07] <pike_> umdoistres: its really not advisable when youre newer to ubuntu to go outside of the ubuntu packages. if i were you id consider just looking in synaptic for something that suits me
[23:07] <Jack_Sparrow> xeom: wired or wireless?
[23:07] <watchforice> whenever i try to boot ubuntu from the disc, I end up at a prompt that says (initramfs), why is this?
[23:08] <ph0rensic> cellofellow, So If I want a graphical remote session use VPN and a console use SSH or am I confused still?
[23:08] <cellofellow> danand_: easytag isn't that hard to use really. It tags my files just fine. It's just they end up formatted ever so slightly wrong and my SanDisk Sansa e250 doesn't read them.
[23:08] <xeom> Jack_sparrow:wired
[23:08] <stroyan> ph0rensic: You can ssh through a vpn.  I don't know of a vpn that relies on ssh as its transport.  I suppose it could be done.
[23:08] <Starnestommy> watchforice: sounds like a bad disc
[23:08] <xavieran> xeom can you please run the command "mount"?
[23:08] <watchforice> honestly?
[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> watchforice: Hardware not recognized or bad burn or bad download
[23:08] <xavieran> And post your output
[23:08] <watchforice> omfg
[23:08] <xeom> Xavieran: Yes one second please
[23:08] <watchforice> :(
[23:08] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: I'm on xChat now. And I've been working from the command line (with the graphical desktop off) because of these screen problems, which meant I couldn't properly do anything.
[23:08] <cosmodad> dookdook: make sure you have the feisty repositories enabled.
[23:08] <xavieran> Ok...
[23:09] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: you can do graphics with SSH too. No, VPN is more of the lower-level TCP/IP stuff, not remote control systems like SSH, VNC, or PCAnywhere.
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> watchforice: Reburn at a slow speed 4 or 8  or get the alternate
[23:09] <stroyan> ph0rensic: ssh -X can do a nice job of forwarding X clients to an X server on the other side.  But it isn't really suited to a full gdm login.
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: Post your xorg to the pastebin
[23:09] <xeom> xavieran:Done what information do you want from the output
[23:09] <watchforice> ok i will try that
[23:09] <watchforice> thank you
[23:10] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: Where's my xorg?
[23:10] <danand_> cellofellow - oh - could always buy a new mp3 player :)
[23:10] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: ssh -X is not that bad, but needs a lot of bandwidth.
[23:10] <cellofellow> danand_: I just got this one.
[23:10] <daveybabes> I tried the mini install cd the other day it worked like a charm only 9MB
[23:10] <tcpdumpgod> VPN is a "virtual private network" meaning... you're getting an internal IP (from your office or wherever).
[23:10] <danand_> cellofellow - :(
[23:11] <ph0rensic> tcpdumpgod, I see thanks
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:11] <tcpdumpgod> no problem ph0rensic
[23:11] <ph0rensic> cellofellow, so if I want to access a graphical session of a remote computer whats the way to go
[23:11] <xavieran> xeom:Sorry for the wait...just the output into pastebin
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ph0rensic: rdesktop and terminal server client
[23:11] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: no, VNC or FreeNX are better for that.
[23:11] <tcpdumpgod> ph0rensic, that depends on how the remote network is set up.
[23:11] <cellofellow> Jack_Sparrow: same thing
[23:12] <tcpdumpgod> If your machine isnt behind a firewall, you can just do X11 over SSH.
[23:12] <xeom> xavieran:http://pastebin.com/d699c6730
[23:12] <ph0rensic> tcpdumpgod, Well lets say it is over the inter.. i would prbably want vpn with terminal server client?
[23:12] <xavieran> eom:ty
[23:12] <xavieran> xeom:ty
[23:12] <tcpdumpgod> yes ph0rensic
[23:12] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: it's better to forgo the encryption when you are on the LAN. Way faster. Use just regular X11 networking stuff like XDMCP.
[23:12] <tcpdumpgod> for security reasons.
[23:13] <NeonLightning> how do i set a static ip i need to transfer from a older ubuntu system to a fedora system from crossovercable
[23:13] <tcpdumpgod> Yeah, if you're on a LAN.
[23:13] <tcpdumpgod> If you're accessing your machine from home, then i'd VPN in and do X11 over SSH
[23:13] <xavieran> xeom:Just as I thought...your swap partition is not mounted...just to be sure ,however,could you also paste the output of the command "cat /etc/fstab"?
[23:13] <cellofellow> tcpdumpgod: that'd be double encryption which would be way slow.
[23:14] <xeom> yea i acctualy didnt make a swap partion wasn't sure i needed it. One sec for that other part
[23:15] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: http://rafb.net/p/BsN98I63.html
[23:15] <xeom> xavieran: http://pastebin.com/d62103dde
[23:15] <solexious> [Q] Is there a way i can squash all files in my windows partition so i can shrink it, create another partition in the space and install ubuntu
[23:15] <xavieran> xeom:You definetely need it!
[23:16] <ph0rensic> cellofellow, tcpdumpgod Jack_Sparrow : So overall.. say if over the internet use vpn then use a terminal service or xdmcp, and if inside lan just use terminal service or same xdmcp?
[23:16] <xeom> Xavieran: ok what would be quickest way to edit the partion and make one? as well how big should it be?
[23:16] <cellofellow> ph0rensic: you don't need a VPN per se period. I would use SSH for the Internet though.
[23:17] <cellofellow> VPN's are devilish to set up.
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: line 81   I doubt the real specs are that high.. double check that
[23:17] <mkbernard> .
[23:17] <xavieran> xeom: You will need to boot into the livecd and create a swap partition...with the amount of ram you have I would say 2gb would suffice...
[23:17] <frijolie> how do you send user specific messages?
[23:17] <tcpdumpgod> ph0rensic, all VPN is for is to give you an IP from a remote lan.
[23:17] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: How do I check that? *sigh*
[23:17] <frijolie> is it "@username"?
[23:18] <Starnestommy> frijolie: like this?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> cellofellow: http://www.techmongrel.com/29/remote-desktop-ubuntu-710-from-windows/  is one help page
[23:18] <ph0rensic> cellofellow, Ok I see
[23:18] <frijolie> yes, Starnestommy
[23:18] <xeom> xavieran: i thought i wouldnt need any with 2gb of ram will do now thanks for the help
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: google your monitor type and find the specs
[23:18] <Starnestommy> frijolie: just say someone's nickname in the message
[23:18] <xavieran> xeom:No problem...
[23:18] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a clue what monitor type I have, I'm on a laptop.
[23:18] <frijolie> oh you don' t have to do a special format?
[23:19] <frijolie> Starnestommy?
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ph0rensic: that link was for you
[23:19] <ph0rensic> cellofellow, So I should still be able to view x screens over internet using ssh and view shared folders info using the remote connection
[23:19] <stupidwhiteman> has anyone had difficulty with audio CDs playing? Totem will play the first track, but won't play the rest, also the CD doesn't auto-mount, it has an "invalid mount option"
[23:19] <Starnestommy> frijolie: usually, it doesn't, but putting the nickname at the beginning is best
[23:19] <stroyan> ph0rensic: There are many different ways to use graphical apps. VPN can act like a new X server that you run your apps on.  Or x11vnc can show you an existing X server on a remote console.  vnc can use a ssh connection to tunnel its data.
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Soludra: then goole your laptop or find a pdf orf the specs.  the nvidia 8600's are not easy to work with
[23:19] <frijolie> starnestommy: is it case-sensitive?
[23:20] <ph0rensic> stroyan, Man all these options are confusing hehe..
[23:20] <Starnestommy> frijolie: usually, it isn't
[23:20] <stroyan> ph0rensic: s/VPN/VNC/  Too man v** acronynms.
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ph0rensic: may I have a quick pm ?
[23:20] <tonarp> i have one server installed is there one way to send me for email ip address each hour ?
[23:20] <frijolie> starnestommy: cool! I didn't think that it would be that easy..
[23:20] <speedhunt3r> what command can I use to install all available updates through cli ?
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> speedhunt3r: apt-get update  then apt-get upgrade
[23:21] <frijolie> speedhunt3r: "sudo aptitude update" then "sudo aptitude updgrade"
[23:21] <danand_> speedhunt3r - type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:21] <frijolie> jack_sparrow: D'oh!
[23:21] <speedhunt3r> thanks guys...didn't know about that upgrade option.

[23:22] <sourcemaker> how can I remove a broken apt installation
[23:22] <sourcemaker> I can remove the vmware-player
[23:23] <super_rad> got a strange problem, im running ubu studio 7.10 but want to do a clean install of regular gutsy so downloaded the live cd but when i boot from the cd it comes up with the login screen, what username/password am i supposed to use to login?
[23:23] <frijolie> what is a good VM to run Windows in?
[23:23] <Soludra> Jack_Sparrow: I can't find my screen's horizontal sync >_<
[23:23] <frijolie> VMware?
[23:23] <Starnestommy> super_rad: I think ubuntu and ubuntu or ubuntu and password
[23:23] <Starnestommy> frijolie: vmware, virtualbox, or qemu
[23:23] <Scunizi> frijolie, VMware Server so you can do you own install.
[23:23] <sourcemaker> I have installed vmware from ppa and now apt is broken
[23:24] <ni1s> Is there some way to stop kcontrol from polluting the GNOME menu?
[23:24] <super_rad> right thanks, i'll reboot and try those, if they dont work i'll come back
[23:24] <noolness> anyone ever get intel turbo memory to work on linux? i want to install linux on the intel turbo memory in order to reduce my boot time ;) (although i don't know if it has drivers or any way to access it)
[23:24] <frijolie> nils: Kcontrol is a KDE app, it will always pollute GNOME
[23:25] <Pimentel-ES> holle
[23:25] <Pimentel-ES> thotypous: o.O
[23:25] <Scunizi> noolness, not sure about that memory.. does it normally come up as a HD partition?
[23:25] <jack-desktop> is there any place on the ubuntu forums to request a program?
[23:25] <noolness> Scunizi: nah not that i see,
[23:25] <Scunizi> noolness, is it like cmos?
[23:26] <Scunizi> noolness, or flash ram?
[23:26] <noolness> Scunizi: it's some sort of NAND flash device
[23:26] <oeb> Feck, this install aint going too great.
[23:26] <Scunizi> noolness, you might use a copy of gparted live and see if gparted will "see" it as a partition.  If it can you might be able to install to it.
[23:26] <noolness> Scunizi: windows vista uses it to cache stuff so returning from hibernate and other things are faster (basically readyboost on crack)
[23:26] <ni1s> frijolie: very annoying
[23:27] <frijolie> nils: yes, I used to be an Amarok fan until all those "Ks" infested my entire computer. I gave up and reinstalled and am now using Exaile because of it
[23:27] <Scunizi> noolness, I always thought (for the last 3 years) you aught to be able to put the boot portion of a system into flash.. it really would make booting faster.
[23:27] <safiyyah> hi all :)
[23:27] <noolness> well it should come up as sdx or hdx right?
[23:27] <Scunizi> noolness, yep
[23:28] <safiyyah> I have 3 problems so I will be here a while but let's start with the first one
[23:28] <Scunizi> noolness, probably sdx
[23:28] <noolness> Scunizi: yeah this should be possible in theory but the drive doesn't come up...so i assume there are no drivers (came up dry with some googling)
[23:28] <hdxx> hi, i have problem.. my sound in ubuntu skipping all the time..  i cant play music..even system sound skipping.. what could be wrong?
[23:28] <safiyyah> my sound was working fine.... but it was too low, then I reboot and now no sound, what's going on?
[23:28] <noolness> i have sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5 but they would all have to be my hard drive because they are the same drive i guess
[23:28] <JulesR> quit
[23:29] <sourcemaker> are there known problems with a vmware-server installation?
[23:29] <speedhunt3r> Xubuntu and Kubuntu are ubuntu with just different display managers?
[23:29] <Yoda> Hey all.  I was wondering if someone could give me some help with GIMP.  I notice that the inactive padding area takes the same color as the background for your theme.  Is there a way to set this independently of the system theme?
[23:29] <sourcemaker> I can't remove my vmware-player installation... !!!! What's wrong?
[23:29] <sourcemaker> apt-get remove not working
[23:30] <Yoda> speedhunt3r: yes, but they've also got different file managers as well.
[23:30] <ni1s> sourcemaker: what does apt-get say when you try?
[23:30] <sourcemaker> ni1s: reinstall the application
[23:31] <Bodsda> Hi ;~)
[23:31] <Yoda> Can anyone help with my GIMP troubles?
[23:31] <Bodsda> Yoda, whats up?
[23:32] <danand_> speedhunt3r - yes Xubuntu uses XFCE desktop (like a lightweight Gnome - V good on older hardware) and Kubuntu uses KDE desktop (heavy weight desktop - seen as being a bit friendlier to people migrating from windows) .... but i like Gnome!
[23:32] <Bodsda> Gnome!!!
[23:32] <Yoda> Bodsda, the inactive padding area of GIMP is taking the same color as my system theme's background.  However, my system theme is white, and that's not so helpful for the inactive padding area.  Any way to change them independently?
[23:32] <noolness> gnome is better.....FIGHT ;)
[23:32] <Bodsda> Yoda, only if there was a colour settings in GIMP, lemme check
[23:32] <noolness> actually i don't like either one that much but gnome seems to be the lesser of two evils for me ;) at least it doesn't crash
[23:33] <Yoda> Bodsda, alright thanks.  There wasn't one that I could see, but I might have been looking in all the wrong places. :p
[23:33] <xavieran> Yoda: Try going to System>Preferences>Appearances and try changing your themes background color to something a bit more readable...
[23:33] <speedhunt3r> man GIMP looks very good but i have no idea how i would get started because i'm not talented in image editing and all
[23:34] <Bodsda> Yoda, file-->Preferences
[23:34] <mort_> server madito.es
[23:34] <Yoda> xavieran, I don't want to change my background color JUST for Gimp.  I'd rather have them independent of each other.
[23:34] <Yoda> Thanks Bodsda, I'll check it out.
[23:34] <noolness> speedhunt3r: then it will work just as well as any other image editing program for you ;) or you could google "gimp tutorial"
[23:34] <xavieran> speedhunt3r, I started out by just using it every now and again when I needed to and then started to get pretty good at it...
[23:34] <sourcemaker> dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq vmware-player: invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action "start" failed.
[23:34] <pike_> speedhunt3r: gimp is intimidating to everyone at first :)
[23:34] <Bodsda> xavieran, clever, stomped by the fact GIMP doesnt have a tab caled System
[23:34] <Scunizi> Yoda, you might try on the GIMPNet server #gimp
[23:34] <Scunizi> speedhunt3r, you could also try krita
[23:35] <vipaca> Anyone here running ubunutu on sparc box?
[23:35] <daveybabes> Gimp manual can be downloaded at http://docs.gimp.org/
[23:35] <Yoda> Scunizi...uhhh....could you give me a rundown on how to navigate there?  I'm at a complete loss when it comes to IRC.  First time I've used it.
[23:35] <xavieran> Yoda: I do think there is a setting for changing how gimp represents transparency...somewhere
[23:35] <JJBuntu> hello all! Need help with Wireless LAN
[23:35] <xavieran> Yoda: type /join #gimp
[23:35] <Scunizi> Yoda, what client are you using.. xchat?
[23:35] <Bodsda> JJBuntu, help us, to help you,.,. use an 'Explanation'
[23:35] <Yoda> yes, Scunizi
[23:35] <xybre> GL Screensavers cause X to crash with Compiz, any way around that?
[23:35] <xavieran> Yoda: type /join #gimp
[23:35] <Yoda> alright, there we go.  Thanks Xavieran.  I'm not looking for representing transparency though.
[23:36] <nomopofomo> What's the #1 problem newbies have with par2 file repair and verification?
[23:36] <xavieran> Ok...
[23:36] <Bodsda> Yoda, you found the appearence bit?
[23:36] <Bodsda> nomopofomo, not knowing what par2 file repair verification is
[23:36] <Yoda> Bodsda: Oh, I see.  The Canvas padding mode, no?
[23:36] <Scunizi> Yoda, CTRL+C then look for GIMPNet. Once logged in type /join #gimp.  Evolution help is also there #evolution.
[23:37] <Scunizi> Yoda.. sorry CTRL+s
[23:37] <dabbill> I had wine working few hours ago, i rebooted my computer and now i cant get any of wine to work. I have tried removing and installing again but still nothing.
[23:37] <Bodsda> Yoda, you do or dont want the canvas padding colour?
[23:37] <wil> I have a really weird problem... the password for my hotmail account has a > ´ < apostrophe symbol in it. I can not log on to my account from ubuntu, but I can do it when in a terminal session to my windows machine. From what I have seen, my keyboard is set up correctly and I can even type and copy my password from a text editor, but I still have a problem. Anyone know what is wrong?
[23:37] <nomopofomo> Bodsda, why do you suppose I can't get gpar2 to repair my split files?

[23:38] <Bodsda> nomopofomo, i was saying i dont know what that is
[23:38] <solexious> [Q] Is there a way i can squash all files in my windows partition to the start of it so i can shrink it, create another partition in the space and install ubuntu
[23:38] <Yoda> Bodsda: I got it.  I wanted the color, but just not white like my theme.  I got it all set now, thanks.
[23:38] <nomopofomo> Bodsda, haha.
[23:38] <Bodsda> dabbill, you remembered    winecfg     ?
[23:38] <Bodsda> Yoda, ok cool,.,
[23:38] <nomopofomo> Does anyone here know anything about par2 repair/verification?
[23:38] <oreomike> solexious: you'll need to defrag your windows from within it

[23:39] <safiyyah> hi anyone help me to figure out how to get my sound going again please?
[23:40] <Bodsda> speedhunt3r, yes,. aptitiude is basically apt-et's big brother,.,. it has a few more -things
[23:40] <speedhunt3r> safiyyah, what's wrong with ur sound?
[23:40] <sea_predator> my nickname is registered but i cannot connect to java channel, does anybody know ?
[23:40] <dsmith_> besides dell laptops, anyone else know of any cheap models that work flawlessly out of box from say Lenovo, HP, Acer??
[23:40] <dabbill> i get bash: /usr/bin/wine: no such file or directory when i just type wine in terminal
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> speedhunt3r: aptitude is better at removing dependencies if you want to remove something.. from what I was told
[23:40] <Bodsda> dabbill, install through repo's?
[23:40] <vipaca> ubunutu server support more than one nic in a box right?
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> sea_predator: have you been in there before?
[23:40] <dabbill> i believe so bodsda
[23:41] <JJBuntu> Thanks guys, that looks like a step in the right direction. I was thinking of using the ndiswrapper but this might save that. One more question - would the 4306 card support WPA2 security?
[23:41] <Scunizi> vipaca, yep.. for help on that you might try #ubuntu-server
[23:41] <sea_predator> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[23:41] <Bodsda> dabbill, after you install wine,.,. you have to type     winecfg
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> JJBuntu: not sure...
[23:41] <oreomike> dabbill, ls -l /usr/bin/wine?
[23:41] <nomopofomo> If anyone knows anything about troubleshooting par2 file repair, please let me know :)
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sea_predator: Is ther any chance you were banned?
[23:41] <Bodsda> nomopofomo, will do
[23:41] <sea_predator> Jack_Sparrow, No I dont think so
[23:42] <dabbill> exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found when i type winecfg
[23:42] <Bodsda> sea_predator, you could ask in #ubuntu-ops
[23:42] <speedhunt3r> safiyyah, what's wrong with your sound?
[23:42] <jeff1> nomopofomo: you are using the command line tool?
[23:42] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: /msg nickserv identify password then /join ##java
[23:42] <vipaca> bloody heck Im about to give on ubuntu on sparc box
[23:42] <kgx> presuming all variables are coorect, can someone tell me why something like this doesn't work in a bash script: ALL_DBS="$(mysql -u $USER -h $HOST -Bse 'SHOW DATABASES' -p)"
[23:42] <dabbill> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14766 2007-10-10 15:22 /usr/bin/wine
[23:42] <nomopofomo> jeff1, I'm actually using gpar2.
[23:42] <vipaca> this confounds me
[23:42] <Bodsda> dabbill, then its not installed ,.,.      audo apt-get purge wine && sudo apt-get install wine
[23:42] <xavieran> Anyone know where I can get a binary installer for gtk for windows? I know this chan is for ubuntu,but a link would do fine...I did try gtk.org but the "installer" I downloaded was a .zip file with some stuff in it...:(
[23:42] <Bodsda> audo=sudo
[23:42] <oreomike> vipaca desktop does, I'm sure the server will.  That support is built into the kernel
[23:42] <dsmith_> besides dell laptops, anyone else know of any cheap models that work flawlessly out of box from say Lenovo, HP, Acer for an example?
[23:42] <jeff1> nomopofomo: sorry never used that. i suggest the command line tool. for me its the easiest program to use for par files
[23:43] <Bodsda> xavieran, ##windows
[23:43] <sea_predator> Starnestommy, password should be like <password >
[23:43] <xavieran> Bodsda: Yessir!
[23:43] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: if you registered it with the < and >, put them in
[23:43] <Bodsda> xavieran, thankyou
[23:43] <dabbill> still the same bodsda
[23:43] <HangukMiguk> does anyone know of a good howto to show me how to configure conky manually? i've been googling with no results...only readymades
[23:43] <Scunizi> xavieran, check out http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/
[23:43] <pike_> xavieran: gimp would be a good spot since it requires gtk
[23:44] <Bodsda> dabbill, download directly from winehq website?
[23:44] <JJBuntu> thanks guys, I'll check all that stuff
[23:44] <Scunizi> pike_, xavieran now that is good thinking!
[23:44] <Bodsda> i second pike_ 's thoughts
[23:45] <oreomike> xavieran, does the zip contain precompiled binaries that you just need to run from a command line maybe?
[23:45] <sea_predator> Starnestommy, getting the message from NickServ unknow identity
[23:45] <speedhunt3r> has anyone tested a backup copy of ubuntu using remastersys? I tried it but when I click install it asks for a password....
[23:45] <xavieran> ty pike_
[23:45] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: ideentify
[23:45] <Bodsda> oreomike, if its for windows, it wont be that complicated
[23:45] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: er, identify
[23:45] <oreomike> kgx, its looking for a password from the prompt, but doesn't have access to stdin to get it
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> sea_predator: you are not banned, they say you timed out 40 minutes ago.. verify your are registered and try again.
[23:45] <wil> I just found a little problem... Ubuntu´s default apastrophe is > ´ <, but for my work, I have some passwords that use > ' <... how do I default to this symbol as I am having a problem with my passwords!
[23:46] <xavieran> oreomike:It has a few linu style folders containing libraries...I tried to run the .exe files that came with it but they all threw up dependency errors...ie,libgtk***.dll not found...
[23:46] <sea_predator> Jack_Sparrow, okie how should i verify ,
[23:46] <HangukMiguk> does anyone know of a good howto to show me how to configure conky manually? i've been googling with no results...only readymades
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !register
[23:46] <ubotu> 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
[23:46] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: /msg nickserv identify <password> ?
[23:47] <oeb> Right, I think I am having pretty big issues trying to install 7.10 on an acer aspire 3610 laptop. It takes an age to boot up the live cd (15 min+) I take it that is in no way normal?
[23:47] <sea_predator> Jack_Sparrow, if somebody is get banned then he cannot login to channel again forever or he can use different nickname
[23:47] <Bodsda> sea_predator, it bans ip
[23:47] <jeff1> HangukMiguk: the best way to learn is on the fly by using already built conkyrc files and editing them yourself
[23:47] <Starnestommy> sea_predator: some bans are nick-based, but most aren't, and bans usually are removed after a while
[23:48] <phantomcircuit> i want to get the size of a file using a shell script how can i do that?
[23:48] <xavieran> ls -l the file maybe?
[23:48] <jeff1> HangukMiguk: http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html
[23:48] <speedhunt3r> Jack_Sparrow, to register the nick, you're suppose to type those commands in this window?
[23:48] <Bodsda> phantomcircuit, i think ls -la    also shows file size
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> sea_predator: this is all off topic in here... avoiding a ban.. is a very serious offense which is what changing your nick and trying to rejoin does
[23:48] <neverblue> phantomcircuit, there is a bash scripting channel... #bash I believe
[23:48] <pike_> phantomcircuit: ls -lh filename | awk "{print $ 5}" i think
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Time for lunch.. play nice
[23:49] <pike_> phantomcircuit: the 5 is for the fifth column
[23:49] <Bodsda> neverblue, dont link anyone to #bash for simple terminal commands,. the #bash boys are not n0b friendly
[23:49] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, no way
[23:49] <Bodsda> lol
[23:49] <Pimentel-ES> Akamaru: O.o
[23:49] <neverblue> Bodsda, I haven't had an issue with them, so I see no reason not to, but thanks for the info

[23:54] <Bodsda> kgx, if you went to #bash you miht et an answer
[23:54] <xavieran> hacked_kernel: I know that gxine plays vcd. File:VCD I think...

[23:55] <D-Spair> DoubleDew: I like to use the easyeclipse-php IDE
[23:56] <jeff1> RootyRootRootW00: i use a software called wallpapoz to do that
[23:56] <xavieran> mib_ib23uinw LOOSERS? This probably belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
