[00:00] <bod_> !ask | Chewy
[00:00] <ubotu> Chewy: 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. :-)
[00:01] <stormze1> Slart: That was it.  Wow. o O  Thank you.
[00:01] <Slart> stormze1: wow.. I've learned something as well.. I've never put a space there in my files.. guess I've been lucky so far =)
[00:01] <bod_> !helpersnack | Slart
[00:01] <ubotu> Slart: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!
[00:01] <Slart> yum.. or.. apt

[00:01] <Slart> just ask you're question, chewy
[00:02] <bod_> !gq | Chewy
[00:02] <ubotu> Chewy: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[00:02] <icesword> hello
[00:02] <claudio75> danand: thanks a lot...you've been patient and gentle
[00:02] <icesword> i am back
[00:02] <claudio75> danand: :)
[00:02] <Slart> you're question? really slart... shape up.. shesh..
[00:02] <mewshi> Can someone help me with my wireless?
[00:02] <Chewy> ok anyway, im not sure what the problem is, that when i start firefox, it loads for like 2 seconds then imediately the program closes
[00:02] <danand> claudio75 - no problem ... my pleasure
[00:02] <arakthor> How can I stop gnome-power-manager from running? It causes problems for me on my laptop, the work around is to disable it, but I don't want to have to kill it everytime I start the machine again
[00:02] <kenro> Hope Hardy is solid enough...
[00:02] <mad_max02> Slart, I just ran that script and I got some strange stuff. I'll paste it in pastebin uf ur wiling to check them out
[00:02] <danand> claudio75 - you learn fast :)
[00:03] <claudio75> danand: ciao
[00:03] <Slart> Chewy: try starting it from a terminal.. that way you'll see the errors
[00:03] <kostkon> Chewy, open a terminal and give "firefox" to run it from there
[00:03] <Slart> mad_max02: sure.. seems I'm on a roll =)
[00:03] <bod_> Chewy, open a terminal and type   firefox        then pastebin the error messages (if any)
[00:03]  * bod_ curses at Slart for beating him to the response
[00:03] <Chewy> ok
[00:03] <Chewy> ill come back here if i get any
[00:03] <Chewy> :)
[00:03] <Chewy> im currently on other pc
[00:03] <Slart> finally my gold plated keyboard is paying off... carpal tunnel syndrome.. here I come =)
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Chewy, Did you install flash?  and how did you install it?
[00:04] <stormze1> Slart: Now that I've read the wiki, I might change my scripts to work differently.  (They were kind of slow...)  Thanks alot!
[00:04] <mrunagi> is it possible to see the contents of a locked folder on an OSX hard drive?
[00:04] <Chewy> I installed it from the flash website linux version
[00:04] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, flash wouldnt stop firefox from loading,.,.would it?
[00:04] <deadlyallance259> what is a good pice of software i can apt-get that alowes me to do a video capture of my desktop
[00:04] <Slart> stormze1: you're welcome
[00:04] <icesword> Jack_Sparrow, does sygate have a linux firewall
[00:04] <EmmerP> hi
[00:04] <bod_> Chewy, get it from epo's,.,.more reliable
[00:04] <bod_> repo's*
[00:04] <EmmerP> What do I need to do to get vlc working with firefox-3.03b?
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, There are some poorly written plugins that would.. or corrupt flash
[00:05] <Chewy> the problem is, now i cant even access internet, and it worked fine until i updated ubuntu
[00:05] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, oh, ok,.,.i thought if they were that bad, they wouldnt be released
[00:05] <fentontravers> how do I open port 8080 on ubuntu server 7.1
[00:05] <mewshi> i have a bcm4318 chipset.  It seems to have been disabled somehow, and I screwed around and used different solutions to try to get it to work.  The light comes on, and it lists "wlan0_rename" in the network selector applet, but it never works.  can someone help me out, please?  I'd appreciate it! :D
[00:05] <Slart> fentontravers: it's usually open.. you have to have something listening on the other side though
[00:05] <icesword> fentontravers, are you working on apache
[00:06] <fentontravers> I've got oracle xe running a webserver on that port...I know it's running cause I can telnet to locally, but I need to access from outside
[00:06] <fentontravers> so I know the port must be closed off.
[00:06] <Chewy> so could it be an update issue?
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, I have seen a few pwople with problems directly related to bad plugins.. not sure where they got them.. that is a whole nother matter.  Chewy.. have you installed any other plugins.. and have you ever used automatix or envy scripts
[00:06] <Slart> fentontravers: you might have to tell it specifically to listen on the external network interface.. you have to do that with ssh and apache for example
[00:06] <bod_> Chewy, unlikely,.its your the first case ive seen of this recently,.,.
[00:07] <bod_> del=its ^^
[00:07] <fentontravers> slart_how do I do that?
[00:07] <Chewy> no other plugins, and niether of those, i am a Ubuntu/linux first timer, so i dont know what im doing, ive been getting help from someoen though
[00:07] <tinman> hmm, I have managed to figure out my x server is NOT working (I havent even touched the configueration) (chrooting through live cd and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with ALL default option didnt to the trick)
[00:07] <drew_> hi, stupid question, how do I move the panel back from the side to the top?
[00:07] <Slart> fentontravers: I have no idea.. I've never used oracle
[00:07] <mewshi> i have a bcm4318 chipset.  It seems to have been disabled somehow, and I screwed around and used different solutions to try to get it to work.  The light comes on, and it lists "wlan0_rename" in the network selector applet, but it never works.  can someone help me out, please?  I'd appreciate it! :D
[00:07] <Slart> drew_: tried dragging it?
[00:07] <bod_> Chewy, in terminal type            sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[00:07] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[00:07]  * danand just spent 10 mins googling ciao to find out what it stood for ...
[00:08] <drew_> Slap_Sti1k, there is no where to click
[00:08] <drew_> oops
[00:08] <Chewy> will that reinstall firefox?
[00:08] <mad_max02> Slart, here it is http://www.pastebin.org/21769
[00:08] <bod_> Chewy, correct
[00:08] <mewshi> No, it was working.  Then it got disabled.  Now it doesn't anymore.
[00:08] <drew_> Slart, , there is no where to click
[00:08] <Chewy> ok
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, I would pull out flash and use the repo version too..
[00:08]  * danand - not an acronym ... just italian for bye :)
[00:08] <drew_> Slart, it is all taken up with stuff
[00:08] <Slart> drew_: just click anywhere on the panel.. or you caN't see it?
[00:08] <Chewy> and i tried another browser too, but it would load google, and the home page but had trouble otherwise
[00:08] <bod_> Chewy, also uninstall the flash thing you got, then install the correct one from synaptic
[00:08] <Slart> drew_: oh come on.. you can find one little spot to click on.. or you'll have to remove something
[00:09] <Chewy> how do i uninstall
[00:09] <bod_> Chewy, sounding more and more like flash
[00:09] <Chewy> hmm
[00:09] <Slart> mad_max02: doesn't it offer to do that for you?
[00:09] <drew_> Slart, I really have to remove something? that strikes me as a bug
[00:09] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, i was gonna suggest it but i thought maybe see if its a bad install first,.,.but if othe browser has probs then flash may be the prob,.,.;~)
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, You may also find something odd in his sources list...
[00:09] <bod_> drew_, just because its broken doesnt mean its a bug
[00:10] <Slart> drew_: there might be some secret shortcut key voodoo combo.. but I don't know one... dragging is the only way I know of
[00:10] <judgen> !nvidia mobile
[00:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia mobile - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:10] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, true,. but why would that stop firefox?
[00:10] <drew_> bod_, a feature then ? ;)
[00:10] <judgen> help... i cant get video to work properly.
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, I am thinking a script was used by his friend to try and get him going..
[00:10] <mad_max02> Slart, Yeah it asks to add these lines to /etc/modules
[00:10] <bod_> drew_, yer,.,.if you like ;~)
[00:10] <Slart> drew_: you can change it in "properties" too.. but then you have to rightclick on the panel..
[00:10] <Slart> mad_max02: let it do it's magic
[00:10] <mad_max02> Slart, you think I should add them ?
[00:10] <mewshi> ok, I have discovered that I have the kernel driver loaded.  However, it doesn't seem to like me.  How can I go about fixing this, and make it work again?
[00:10] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, what sort of script?
[00:10] <Slart> mad_max02: that's why you ran the program in the first place =)
[00:11] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, flash downloading script?
[00:11] <Chewy> so how would i uninstall flash?
[00:11] <judgen> i need help nvidia driver wont work, and nv just dont cut it. what  do i do??
[00:11] <mad_max02> Slart, okay lets try
[00:11] <tinman> Hi Jack_Sparrow, my x server that had worked for pass 6 month is now sudenly not workign and I have not even touched the configuration, (I tried chrooting with live cd and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with all the default options (seve selected) and didnt work) . Now I just get a gray screen when I should get a login screen
[00:11] <mad_max02> Slart, should I reboot after that or something ?
[00:11] <judgen> i mean BeOS have better 3d support for gods sake at this point
[00:12] <bod_> Chewy, not sue, you'd need to know the name of the plugin you donloaded
[00:12] <Slart> judgen: buy a new computer.. if indeed the nvidia driver wont work..   if you want help with the nvidia driver that's another thing of course..
[00:12] <mewshi> judgen, did you use the ubuntu package of the nvidia driver?
[00:12] <bod_> Chewy probably flash
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tinman, what about recovery mode...  can you get into that  and from there can you startx
[00:12] <Chewy> it is flash, just from the FLASH website
[00:12] <Slart> mad_max02: I'm not sure.. can't really remember
[00:12] <judgen> mewshi, yes
[00:12] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, r u getting my pm replies>
[00:12] <bod_> ?
[00:12] <judgen> Slart, its an mobile chipset that has accelerated 3d in BeOS
[00:12] <mewshi> Try using the official driver directly from nvidia
[00:12] <Slart> mad_max02: try running some kind of application that uses those sensors..
[00:12] <tinman> Jack_Sparrow: Go to recovery mode and manually start x?
[00:13] <drew_> Slart, bod_ I've had to remove the clock and user switcher
[00:13] <mohbana> Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe
[00:13] <miladen> when i put in my new external harddrive it says: hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000... Why cant i do anything with it?
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> tinman, Just a thought.
[00:13] <judgen> Slart, nforce4 go
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> bod.. no
[00:13] <mad_max02> Slart, I'll just reboot
[00:13] <Slart> judgen: and the restricted driver doesn't work?
[00:13] <mewshi> judgen, go get the official nvidia driver from nvidia, and install it
[00:14] <judgen> Slart, as nvidia does not develop any go driver before geforce7, sadly no
[00:14] <Daisuke_Laptop> mewshi: wouldn't apt-get install nvidia-glx-new be better?
[00:14] <judgen> mewshi, does not work as nvidia has never made the drivers for nvidia go
[00:14] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, would    sudo apt-get purge flash               remove the flash he downloaded ,. or will it scew other things up?
[00:14] <judgen> untill now
[00:14] <mewshi> no, because i had a similar experience with the ati driver
[00:15] <Slart> judgen: what chipset does the videocard use?
[00:15] <mewshi> the ubuntu package had problems, but the offical driver worked great, and even automatically detected my proper dual-head setup :D
[00:15] <rene> hello everybody
[00:16] <rene> wont install flashplayer in fluxbuntu
[00:16] <Daisuke_Laptop> mewshi: ati != nvidia
[00:16] <rene> ?
[00:16] <amenado> miladen-> as soon as you plug in your external hd you get that error?
[00:16] <Daisuke_Laptop> expect ati problems, nvidia works a whole lot better.
[00:16] <miladen> as soon as i try to open it yes
[00:16] <rene> kazehakase
[00:16] <rene> ?
[00:16] <mewshi> Daisuke? O_o
[00:16] <miladen> as soon as i try to open it yes amenado
[00:16] <rene> howto install flashplayer in kazehakase ?
[00:16] <bod_> Chewy, search Synaptic for Flash, anything that is installed called 'Flash' mark for complete removal
[00:17] <mewshi> yes, daisuke, I know they're not the same
[00:17] <mewshi> I was just relation an anecdote about the ubuntu package not being 'right'
[00:17] <amenado> miladen-> without opening it, type mount and paste the line for this partition here
[00:17] <Slart> judgen: I think you might be able to see the chipset.. or at least the device id by running "lspci -v" and looking for the videocard part
[00:18] <miladen> amenado this partition? it is just called media
[00:18] <amenado> miladen should be just one line am interested in
[00:18] <Daisuke_Laptop> mewshi: understandable.
[00:18] <amenado> miladen well paste the result of mount..specifically just for that problematic partition
[00:18] <boolka> when is the next ubuntu release? are there any screenshots availble?
[00:18] <mewshi> april
[00:18] <Daisuke_Laptop> boolka: april, and it's going to look about the same
[00:18] <bod_> boolka, 8.04
[00:19] <mewshi> and i'm testing it atm
[00:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> mostly under-the-hood improvements
[00:19] <mewshi> it's pretty nice so far :D
[00:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> there is a big theme change coming in october with the release of 8.10 (or so i've heard)
[00:19] <miladen> amenado in the terminal i type mount and then what?
[00:19] <boolka> interesting
[00:19] <bod_> Daisuke_Laptop, 8.10?
[00:19] <mewshi> they should provide girl-friendly themes :P
[00:19] <amenado> miladen paste it here, i can not read your mind, so i can see here
[00:19] <bod_> Daisuke_Laptop, codename?
[00:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> but with 8.04 being a long-term support release, it's not happening yet
[00:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> bod_: intrepid ibex
[00:20] <amenado> miladen well paste the result of mount..specifically just for that problematic partition
[00:20] <boolka> is there a list of improvements?
[00:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> which i hate saying :D
[00:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> boolka: not yet
[00:20] <bod_> Daisuke_Laptop, what a stupid name,.,.;~)
[00:21] <Daisuke_Laptop> bod_: hence why i hate saying it
[00:21] <Daisuke_Laptop> i like ignoble iguana :D
[00:21] <bod_> Daisuke_Laptop, what does ignoble mean?
[00:21] <amenado> miladen have I lost you?
[00:22] <mewshi> it means not noble
[00:22] <bod_> oh, ok,. ty
[00:22] <bod_> Daisuke_Laptop, i agree,.that name is better
[00:22] <nfusco> If i have a partition of 50Gb for a fresh install, i want to have: /, /home, /swap - what partion sizes  should I pick for each?
[00:22] <jeffMASTERflex> an ibex is a horrible animal. lion snack is all it is
[00:22] <EmmerP> who's got VLC with Firefox 3.03b working?
[00:23] <mewshi> EmmerP: there's no such thing as 3.03b in firefox yet
[00:23] <combat_> nfusco: /swap = size of ram, / = 6-8GiB, /home rest
[00:23] <Slart> nfusco: I'd use 10 GB for everything but home... swap should be about 2GB or so.. twice your memory... and the rest for /home
[00:23] <EmmerP> 3.0b3 sorry
[00:23] <Daisuke_Laptop> probably 3.0b3
[00:23] <Daisuke_Laptop> wow, i'm good.
[00:23] <bod_> combat_, its usually swap = ram *2
[00:23] <EmmerP> I see video, but don't see controls... or right-click menu
[00:23] <combat_> bod_, why?
[00:24] <tinman> Anyone good with x servers? :s
[00:24] <bod_> combat_, because swap isnt as good as physical memory,. so you need more,.,. its usually suggested to have twice the amount
[00:24] <Slart> the swap=ram*2 is an ancient rule passed down from our ancestors.. noone knows why.. =)
[00:24] <jeffMASTERflex> combat_: if you have over a gig of ram, it's safe to make it the same size as the ram
[00:24] <nfusco> twice meory or same as memory or does it really matter? machine has 3Gb...
[00:24] <acee1234> are there any linux programs that can encrypt a cd simular to full drive encryption?
[00:24] <nfusco> 3gb memory
[00:24] <bod_> !anyone | tinman
[00:24] <ubotu> tinman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:24] <Chubbyone> Got a dvd/ cd drive that plays dvd's but wont recognise cd's
[00:24] <tinman> bod_: I have asked it 10 times hence simplifying the question :\
[00:24] <LimCore> what is the difference betwen server and normal edition?
[00:24] <LimCore> server edition is the same tihng only it installs less by default?
[00:25] <combat_> bod_, its an old opinion, i only need swap for hibernate, and therefore it has the same size as my ram
[00:25] <LimCore> combat_: it is totall bullshit to "use x2 more swap then you have ram"
[00:25] <bod_> combat_, fair play ;~)
[00:25] <Slart> acee1234: you could create a truecrypt volume and burn that to a cd.. I suppose
[00:25] <Daisuke_Laptop> !wtf | LimCore
[00:25] <ubotu> LimCore: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:25] <Slart> LimCore: I think the server version doesn't install gnome/kde/xfce
[00:25] <Daisuke_Laptop> the most common number is 1.5x ram
[00:25] <bod_> tinman, well people come and go all the time,. a question that isnt eally your question is unlikely to get you an answer
[00:25] <LimCore> Slart: but it is the same distro, only it installs less by default?
[00:26] <nfusco> so just match the size of your ram then?
[00:26] <Slart> LimCore: it's the same distro
[00:26] <jeffMASTERflex> LimCore: server version includes apache, mysql and php and no GUI
[00:26] <mewshi> it depends on how much ram you have
[00:26] <LimCore> Daisuke_Laptop: that is totall bull rainbow as well
[00:26] <nfusco> mewshi, 3gb of RAm
[00:26] <acee1234> Slart: ill give it a go
[00:26] <bascule> nfusco: the old 2x RAM is a bit old thinking, but if you wan to suspend you will need more than 2x ram
[00:26] <mewshi> nfusco then prolly... like... 1GB swap
[00:26] <LimCore> swap_size = RAM_SIZE - memory_your_applications_need_at_once * 1.2 + 128 mb
[00:26] <tinman> bod_: Somehow my x server crashed (I havent touched the configs) so i chrooted through a live cd then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and used all teh default options (seve was selected) but the problem still presists
[00:26] <LimCore> so basicly, use 2 gb swap.
[00:26] <LimCore> or less
[00:27] <bascule> tinman: describe problem
[00:27] <mohbana> Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe
[00:27] <SimplySeth> is there a graphical proggy that lets me add boot entries to grub ?
[00:27] <jeffMASTERflex> merde extraordinaire, i see
[00:27] <bod_> tinman, well,. im off in a min, so you should prob address the channel,. not just me
[00:27] <Daisuke_Laptop> LimCore: forgive me for offending the almighty swap god.  i was just quoting the most common number bandied about
[00:27] <LimCore> SimplySeth: like, kate
[00:27] <mewshi> Ok, I need help fixing my internet configuration settings
[00:27] <SimplySeth> LimCore: cool .. kate .. thanks
[00:27] <mewshi> I A) don't want to see wlan0_rename anymore
[00:27] <combat_> SimplySeth, /boot/grub/menu.lst is self-explaining, u dont need a tool for it
[00:27] <Daisuke_Laptop> and for most users, who have 1-2gb ram, 1.5x ram is a perfectly sane amount.
[00:27] <LimCore> Daisuke_Laptop: ok you ar forgiven, next time dont quote stupid old superstitions
[00:27] <mohbana> Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe
[00:27] <void^> mohbana: on 64bit?
[00:28] <mohbana> void^, yes
[00:28] <warriorforgod> I am having problems burning cd's in 7.10.  Is anybody else having any issues?
[00:28] <bod_> !elaborate | warriorforgod
[00:28] <ubotu> warriorforgod: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[00:28] <mewshi> b) want my bloody wireless to work
[00:28] <LimCore> warriorforgod: k3b works fine here. what is the problem
[00:28] <nfusco> thanks guys
[00:28] <SimplySeth> combat_: yeah .. I'm a vi master .. but I'm out to show the world that Ubuntu can be as mindlessly easy to configure as the worst OS :)
[00:28] <void^> mohbana: there seems to be an issue with the build environment, who knows when it will be figured out..
[00:28] <Daisuke_Laptop> LimCore: perhaps you could try not being a dick and sharing this information before calling people and ideas "stupid"
[00:28] <Slart> warriorforgod: I have problems too.. my problem is that I don't have any blank cds.. what is yours?

[00:29] <mohbana> void^, it works perfectly fine on fedora 8 64 bit, what seems to be the matter, can't they just resolve it
[00:29] <combat_> SimplySeth, most people in the world dont need to add boot-entries :D
[00:29] <Kuwanger> How do I find out all packages (installed or not) that depend on a package?
[00:30] <warriorforgod> I have been able to burn cd's find up until today.  I cannot seem to blank a cd-rw or burn one without gnomebaker, or Write-to-disc saying there was an error in burning.
[00:30] <bascule> a GUI wouldn't be so hard, browse for kernael image, set sane defaults that can be configed with an advanced button, easy really
[00:30] <LimCore> Kuwanger: perhaps in synaptic or other gui (or not gui) package manager by browsing dependencies info
[00:30] <SimplySeth> combat_: unless they have a lost boot partition somewhere :-/
[00:30] <jeffMASTERflex> Kuwanger: if you use synaptic, it will tell you when you right click on a package and select properties
[00:30] <SimplySeth> combat_: but good point
[00:30] <Slart> Kuwanger: there are probably better ways.. but you could try removing it and see what goes with it.. use the -s switch to simulate
[00:30] <SimplySeth> LimCore: thanks for tryin' ta help :)
[00:30] <void^> mohbana: like i said, an issue with the build environment. if you build it yourself (from ubuntu sources even) it will work just fine.
[00:30] <mewshi> Why not set up different channels for different topics?
[00:31] <LimCore> mewshi: there are many other channels =)
[00:31] <amenado> there are already
[00:31] <Slart> mewshi: it would be very very confusing for the people trying to help out
[00:31] <SimplySeth> combat_: I'm bloggin' the setup of my Lappy too .. :)
[00:32] <LimCore> !elaborate SimplySeth
[00:32] <mewshi> hm... well, still, then if someone has, say, a wireless problem, they could go to #ubuntuWireless or something
[00:32] <mewshi> instead of this crap here
[00:32] <amenado> its is not crap
[00:32] <SimplySeth> *hands mewshi some TP
[00:32] <LimCore> mewshi: this is a good idea which some people try to implement ;) want to help?
[00:32] <Slart> mewshi: and noone would be there.. we'd all be in the general channel
[00:33] <jeffMASTERflex> mewshi: that would be too specific and the helpful folks would have to switch between lots of different channels. horrible idea
[00:33] <mewshi> Having so many different topics that it's impossible to keep track IS crap, sorry :\
[00:33] <SimplySeth> mewshi: what Wireless device are you running ? what is your issue ? have you used KWLan ?
[00:33] <AtomicSpark> anyone use firestarter, firewall for ubuntu?
[00:33] <amenado> mewshi-> you have apache issues? visit apache channel, java? java channel
[00:33] <SimplySeth> AtomicSpark: yes ?
[00:33] <jeffMASTERflex> mewshi: if you are down to provide support for the wireless problems, then by all means, go ahead and do it
[00:34] <mewshi> yeah, but those channels don't have over 1000 people all talking about DIFFERENT THINGS
[00:34] <mewshi> it's REALLY hard to keep track :\
[00:34] <combat_> erm, whats happened to the hidd tool in the bluez-utils package in hardy? cant connect my bluetooth devices anymore
[00:34] <LimCore> mewshi: want to help with such idea?
[00:34] <jeffMASTERflex> imagine that, people complaining about free support
[00:34] <zeeeee> is there any way to "merge" two ext3 partitions? one is / and the other is /export/home; i'd like these to not be partitioned.
[00:34] <amenado> the beauty of open source, great minds comes together. :P
[00:34] <Slart> mewshi: you can always start by putting the name of the person you're talking to first in the line
[00:34] <SimplySeth> combat_: is it in gnome-bluetooth ?
[00:34] <zeeeee> (both contain data that i need to preserve)
[00:34] <AtomicSpark> SimplySeth: i just installed it and it's blocking TCP connections already from a public ip address (i am behind a firewall) and i dont have port forwarding enabled. this is probably stuff from gaim being blocked correct? i have nothing else running.
[00:35] <SimplySeth> AtomicSpark: that would be a good guess .. yes
[00:35] <combat_> SimplySeth, no it belongs to bluez-utils, but i reinstalled bluez-utils a few times and there appaers no hidd :(
[00:35]  * AtomicSpark found lookup hostname option
[00:35] <AtomicSpark> heh aol
[00:35] <amenado> zeeeee-> not in one shot, save both to a temporary dir, repartition or merge the two, then move the temp over
[00:35] <zeeeee> amenado, thanks!
[00:35] <combat_> suddenly, hidd disappeared after a bluez-utils update, a few weeks ago
[00:36] <mcview> @zeeeee: copy /export/home to a temporary location in your "/", afterwards use eg. gparted and repartition
[00:36] <AtomicSpark> SimplySeth: should i allow or ignore? only thing that works in pidgin is p2p from and to pidgin lol.
[00:36] <mewshi> I'm trying to be helpful
[00:36] <SimplySeth> AtomicSpark: disallow unless you really really really know you need it :)
[00:36] <Hilikus> how to i expand the partition where root is mounted?? it seems i need to unmount a partition to extend it but i cant unmount /
[00:36] <SimplySeth> Hilikus: 'cause / is your c:\ drive ?
[00:36] <combat_> Hilikus, boot a livecd
[00:37] <SimplySeth> Hilikus: try gnoppix or knoppix :)
[00:37] <Hilikus> SimplySeth no, its not, but i cant unmount it
[00:37] <AtomicSpark> SimplySeth: k thanks. :D maybe this will protect my computer a bit more.
[00:37] <amenado> Hilikus-> not in one shot, save to a temporary dir, repartition  then move the temp over
[00:37] <amenado> Hilikus-> you can not unmount what you are using now
[00:37] <SimplySeth> AtomicSpark: yeah FireStarter even does internet connection sharing
[00:37] <jeffMASTERflex> Hilikus: i siggest using the gparted live cd. because it's a root partition you can't unmount it when you log in to your computer
[00:37] <Hilikus> cant i just use the ubuntu live cd?
[00:38] <SimplySeth> Hilikus: you can :)
[00:38] <combat_> does nobody know whether hidd is gone? :P
[00:38] <amenado> but do not forget to save, just in case...
[00:38] <Hilikus> amenado save what? you mean backup the partition?
[00:38] <amenado> Hilikus you like to take risk? go ahead and just move things around.without saving
[00:38] <Slart> good night everyone
[00:38] <combat_> Hilikus, backup your data
[00:39] <Hilikus> oh yeah, i have that already
[00:39] <combat_> ok
[00:39] <SimplySeth> combat_: funniest thing .. I just did apt-get install  bluez-utils and its there
[00:39] <billy> sup guys
[00:39] <combat_> which version is it?
[00:39] <Hilikus> is it even possible to extend a ext3 partition??
[00:39] <SimplySeth> combat_: 3.19
[00:39] <amenado> extend in what sense?
[00:39] <Pelo> Hilikus, yes it is  you just need room
[00:39] <combat_> ok in hardy its 3.26 already
[00:40] <SimplySeth> combat_: ahhh bleeding edge .. nvm :)
[00:40] <Hilikus> amenado i removed a partition i had before to store media, now i dont need that and want to give it to /
[00:40] <juannicolas> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 server and trying to do a file transfer  via ftp or samba of a file more than 4.0Gb from a windows machie to thise server and everytime the file reach the 4.0GB file size the conection or transfer breaks.
[00:40] <jeffMASTERflex> Hilikus: / is  a waste of space. add it to /home if you have a separate home partition
[00:41] <amenado> Hilikus-> yeah per the other gentleman, use it for /home instead of expanding /
[00:41] <combat_> juannicolas, which file system goes the file to? fat32 only supports 4gb files
[00:41] <Pelo> juannicolas, what is the FS onthe window machine ?  fat32 is limited to files size of 4gig
[00:41] <Hilikus> jeffMASTERflex its not, i actually need more space when creating dvds, thats /tmp which is /
[00:41] <juannicolas> combat_ so maybe thats the problem, the HD in my ubuntu is fat32 (160GB)
[00:42] <amenado> juannicolas-> try scp  you maybe surprised that it will work
[00:42] <juannicolas> scp
[00:42] <juannicolas> on windows?
[00:42] <jeffMASTERflex> Hilikus: in most burning programs you can set the tmp directory. also, you could always make a separate temp partition if that is the case
[00:42] <juannicolas> how can I do a file transfer of more than 4.0GB?
[00:42] <amenado> juannicolas-> from linux, you can scp
[00:42] <SimplySeth> what size blocks does fdisk show ?
[00:42] <AtomicSpark> SimplySeth: i switch from wireless to lan a lot, will this be a problem for me? seems to only detect one at a time.
[00:42] <juannicolas> yes, but this time is from windows to linux
[00:43] <combat_> juannicolas, get another FS, fat32 does not even support acess restrictions
[00:43] <SimplySeth> AtomicSpark: not really .. if you don't mind switching it in FireStarter :)
[00:43] <_Marek_> hi all
[00:43] <amenado> juannicolas-> if it has sshd (openssh) you can

[01:05] <tinman> Rawr, any better resource on how to reconfigure xserver-xorg? o reven use a .conf from a few days ago when it was working (I havent changed ay thing and it stopped working) :<
[01:06] <LimCore> gamma
[01:06] <LimCore> oh thanks Seveas.
[01:06] <Blaze2011> VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start' as root.
[01:06] <mad_max02> How can I use extra desktop effects with newest Nvidia drivers ????
[01:06] <Blaze2011> Thats what terminal says when I try to start it
[01:06] <lollo_> a good program that can match ( in a sequence ) more videos together ? ?
[01:06] <lollo_> and a music background too :P
[01:07] <mad_max02> How can I use extra desktop effects with newest Nvidia drivers ????
[01:07] <stormze1> I had to take the -e from the command echo -e out of my scripts because it was adding "-e" into the output;  Now the scripts are being interpreted so that they're not escaping the \t's.  What's going on?  Is this another dash thing?
[01:07] <Scunizi> Blaze2011, sounds like maybe you had a kernal upgrade (or sideways) and vbox doesn't know how to talk to it.. reinstall vbox.
[01:08] <bastid_raZor> l815; technically firefox 3 isn't out yet.. you can play with the beta though .. package firefox-3.0

[01:09] <Blaze2011> Ok I'll try it I did run apt-get update and upgrade and it made me restart but why would that screw up X-Server?
[01:09] <tinman> j_: it's not being auto detected?
[01:09] <j_> Flare183 i can't see it or view it it say you are not privilged to mount the volume 'name'
[01:09] <lollo_> a good program that can match ( in a sequence ) more videos together ? ?

[01:09] <kenro>  wha dis ting? http://mfrost.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/26/old_camera_446.jpg
[01:09] <l815> bastid_razor, i know, but will it require me to do something funky like linking my current installation?
[01:10] <j_> tinman with sudo /media/ ????
[01:10] <j_> tinman with sudo where dir?
[01:10] <bastid_raZor> l815; it'll be as if you installed a fresh browser. no theme or add-ons or bookmarks.. etc but so.. it is beta
[01:10] <tinman> sudo -t vfat /dev/name /mount/point -o rw
[01:10] <bastid_raZor> l815; you can have both ff2 and ff3 installed at the same time.. no worries
[01:10] <mad_max02> How can I use extra desktop effects with newest Nvidia drivers ????
[01:10] <l815> bastid_razor, alright thanks for the response :)
[01:10] <tinman> j_: that worked for me, see if it works for oyu
[01:11] <tinman> j_: err sudo mount <options here> in terminal
[01:11] <j_> tinman where is the dir for flash drive
[01:11] <tinman> j_: in /media/ probably
[01:11] <j_> tinman i know drivers are /media but dont see the flashdrive
[01:11] <bastid_raZor> l815; sure.. ff3 has some great features..
[01:12] <tinman> j_: it's sdb for me (gusty)
[01:12] <Kuwanger> How do I find out all packages (installed or not) that depend on a package?
[01:12] <l815> bastid_razor, do you know if ff3's buttons look better, or do i also have to install the widgets?
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> l815; widgets for? the buttons look fine.. i'm sure there is a screenshot available if you google
[01:13] <LimCore> what should I use... noobuntu that messes kernel so much I dunno how to rebuild it, or oldbian with outdated versions of software I need, hmmm
[01:14] <lollo_> a good program that can match ( in a sequence ) more videos together ? ?
[01:14] <Blaze2011> It says I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server when I try to run Restricted Drivers Manager to fix my video card...
[01:14] <LimCore> how to rebuild a kernel so that it will work fully; last time I builded vanilla kernel for ubuntu it didnt worked fully.  Should I apply some extra drivers / patches etc?
[01:14] <l815> bastid_razor, okay, if you google "ubuntu firefox buttons" the first link should be what i'm talking about
[01:14] <mad_max02> How can I use extra desktop effects with newest Nvidia drivers ????

[01:14] <teqsun> mad_max02 Do you have the envy drivers?
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> !envy | teqsun don't recommend that
[01:15] <ubotu> teqsun don't recommend that: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[01:15] <teqsun> hmm
[01:15] <teqsun> Sorry indy
[01:15] <KiD_ChAoS> why do i get a "sound device is in use" when i'm trying to play a new music file with xmms. I usually have to wait 2 minutes between songs for them too play successfully
[01:15] <l815> oh wow the font with ff3 is hurting my eyes T-T
[01:15] <Blaze2011> Hmm and apt-get says it can't find the package
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> teqsun: i could care less, it just does more harm than good
[01:15] <teqsun> does it./;
[01:15] <dark> hola algun español queme pueda echar una mano
[01:15] <dark> ?
[01:15] <bastid_raZor> l815; i see.. cool.
[01:15] <Odd-rationale> !es | dark
[01:15] <teqsun> If you have a better driver please let me know.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> teqsun: if you use it, you will soon find out
[01:16] <teqsun> please let me know why :)
[01:16] <ubotu> dark: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> cuz you'll end up reinstalling when it screws up.
[01:16] <teqsun> argh
[01:16] <teqsun> I just want a hassle free driver installation for my nvida geforce 8600gt
[01:16] <l815> bastid_razor, ff3 font looks different, it hurts my eyes haha
[01:16] <bziobnic> I have the Intel ICH9 chipset. Does anyone know if there is a driver available that will let me use the esata port?
[01:16] <teqsun> I figure I'll be reinstalling shortly heh
[01:16] <warriorforgod> teqsun: Did you try the restricted drivers manager before install envy?
[01:16] <Frogzoo> !compile | LimCore
[01:16] <ubotu> LimCore: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[01:17] <Frogzoo> !kernel | LimCore
[01:17] <ubotu> LimCore: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> teqsun: well, envy will cause you more hassle than compiling the driver.
[01:17] <teqsun> hmm
[01:17] <teqsun> Im kinda a linux nub when it comes to compilin
[01:17] <KiD_ChAoS> why do i get a "sound device is in use" when i'm trying to play a new music file with xmms. I usually have to wait 2 minutes between songs for them too play successfully
[01:17] <mad_max02> teqsun, I installed newest nvidia drivers via envy. now I cant enable extra desktop effect
[01:17] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, ^^
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: well, thats your own fault.
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> good luck
[01:18] <bastid_raZor> l815; yeah, i guess my system theme has an effect that i didn't realize. i like my OSX buttons a bit better :)
[01:18] <jeffMASTERflex> teqsun: you don't really have to "compile" anything. the nvidia driver provides a script that builds the driver against your kernel
[01:18] <teqsun> oooh wait.  I went to nvidia.com and they were giving me trouble when I tried to install their binarys
[01:18] <l815> bastid_razor, oo maybe you should share it with me :D
[01:18] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, what do you mean ?
[01:18] <teqsun> but that was before I enabled the restricted stuff....
[01:18] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, what did I do wrong ??
[01:18] <stormze1> IndyGunFreak: What are you supposed to do when the restricted drivers don't work?
[01:19] <NetM> Hello
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> stormze1: either install the drivers from Nvidia's site, or wait till its supported, trust me, i understand, i've got an unsupported intel chipset, but it works fine on 8.04 Alpha 5
[01:19] <l815> anyone here use ff3?
[01:19] <dark> hay algun español queme pueda ayudar?
[01:19] <teqsun> hrm how does one get the 8.04 alpha?
[01:19] <stormze1> IndyGunFreak: Oh; which chipset do you have?
[01:20] <jeffMASTERflex> l815: what is the problem?
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> 965BM, or something like that..
[01:20] <Comet> !es | dark
[01:20] <ubotu> dark: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[01:20] <warriorforgod> teqsun:
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> teqsun: download it.... just google "Ubuntu 8.04 alpha", and it will pop up
[01:20] <teqsun> nice
[01:20] <l815> jeffmasterflex, the font looks horrible compared to ff2 and i read it has to be compiled with cario to fix it?
[01:20] <stormze1> IndyGunFreak: Ah-hah.  That might be my problem, too.  ( G965WH )  You're using the alphas?
[01:20] <teqsun> I hear they fix the nvidia problems with splash in 8.04
[01:20] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, can you please tell me what did I do wrong ???
[01:20] <NetM> I m trying to install ubuntu @ my pc , when i choose install starting loading and then in screen nothing readable showing.. sorry for my english... anyone help ?
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: nothing, you did everythin right, thats why it works
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> geez
[01:21] <teqsun> NetM what graphics card are you using?
[01:21] <mad_max02> I dont get it ?
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> stormze1: i'm not using the alpha now, its dual booting with gutsy, but yes, it works perfectly with my intel chipset
[01:21] <NetM> Nvidia 6600 le
[01:21] <teqsun> NetM I have an nvida 8600GT and I was having trouble
[01:21] <mad_max02> should i remove envy and reinstall driver or something ?
[01:21] <jeffMASTERflex> l815: definitely do not have that problem. the fonts look exactly the same to me. and i am using 3b3 and 3pre4
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: do whatever you want
[01:21] <teqsun> I just removed the splash option from the boot and it worked.  just wait a few min after your monitor turns off and see if that doesnt work
[01:21] <warriorforgod> NetM: restricted driver manager should work for 6600.  That is the same card I have.
[01:21] <mad_max02> dude I asked for help because I dont know what to do
[01:22] <mad_max02> not because I'm bored
[01:22] <stormze1> Oh -- alpha as in Hardy?
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> stormze1: yes.. as in Hardy
[01:22] <NetM> How can i remove splash screen from setup ?
[01:22] <l815> jeffmasterflex, that's strange :/, I googled it and it seems to be a common problem
[01:22] <teqsun> I think its F6
[01:22] <warriorforgod> NetM: Wait, wrong response.  When does the screen get garbled?
[01:22] <teqsun> lets you choose boot options
[01:22] <teqsun> just delete it from the list
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: unfortunately, helping you at this point, will be more headache than its worth
[01:22] <Name141> Should I install the nVidia linux driver for my video card ?
[01:22] <stormze1> foo.  ( hehe )
[01:22] <NetM> Hmmmmmm
[01:22] <lollo_> i'm in the folder extracted manually from the tar.gz, i type ( like the instruction suggest) ./configure in the folder but it says DIRECTORY NOT FOUND !!!!
[01:22] <warriorforgod> Name141: What card?
[01:22] <NetM> Graphics.........
[01:22] <lollo_> what could it be ?
[01:22] <NetM> Whatever u think :P
[01:22] <teqsun> Worked for me NetM
[01:22] <NetM> Ok lets try
[01:22] <stormze1> well, good to know it'll work in the next one..
[01:22] <EitheL> Hmm i have a question
[01:22] <teqsun> my monitor turns off while the ubuntu bar is loading then it comes on
[01:23] <Name141> warriorforgod: nVidia GeForce 8300 GS
[01:23] <EitheL> When I go to add/remove program and i choose a program, it keeps on saying that the list needs to be refreshed or something and I click ok, and it downloads a file
[01:23] <jeffMASTERflex> l815: try using the swiftfox build and see if that solves any of your problems
[01:23] <EitheL> but then it keep sayin
[01:23] <EitheL> the list is outdated or something
[01:23] <warriorforgod> Name141: Try the restricted driver manager.  If that doesn't work, get the install script from nvidias site.
[01:24] <teqsun> how do you use the restricted driver manager?
[01:24] <teqsun> <--- nub
[01:24] <lollo_> i'm in the folder extracted manually from the tar.gz, i type ( like the instruction suggest) ./configure in the folder but it says DIRECTORY NOT FOUND !!!!
[01:24] <warriorforgod> teqsun: System -->  Administration --> Restricted driver mangaer
[01:24] <nikon252> could some please tell me how to fix this error?
[01:24] <teqsun> Thank you
[01:24] <lollo_> please smeone could answer me ?
[01:24] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, well atleast you can tell me what is wrong in this picture so I can not do it next time or something coz I tried to install drivers manually and failed every time
[01:24] <nikon252> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvolume-id0_113-0ubuntu17_amd64.deb: files list file for package `mono-runtime' is missing final newline
[01:24] <jeffMASTERflex> teqsun: open it, it should be pretty explanatory when you open it up, there are only boxes to checkmark
[01:24] <teqsun> WOW
[01:25] <teqsun> Thanks guys Didn't even know this was here
[01:25] <EitheL> And also why am I not able to use my external hard drive in my linux computer
[01:25] <EitheL> and it says unable to mount

[01:25] <techII> ok, i want to toggle wwwoffle's (proxy that stores web pages for offline use) offline/online modes from network manager, how do i do this?
[01:25] <NetM> How can i remove it ?
[01:25] <teqsun> just wait like 5 min
[01:25] <teqsun> you hit backspace
[01:25] <teqsun> :)
[01:25] <Name141> warriorforgod: my hardware doesn't need any restricted drivers
[01:25] <NetM> I think that i cant change the options
[01:25] <NetM> Oooooooo
[01:25] <Name141> warriorforgod: is what it says anyway.
[01:25] <whiteguysamurai> internet connection sharing
[01:25] <NetM> I m noob
[01:25] <NetM> Sorry
[01:25] <NetM> :/
[01:25] <teqsun> me too :)
[01:25] <EitheL> When I go to add/remove program and i choose a program, it keeps on saying that the list needs to be refreshed or something and I click ok, and it downloads a file  and it keeps asking me to refresh the list so I can't install any apps...
[01:26] <warriorforgod> Name141: Go to nvidias site and grab the linux drivers
[01:26] <teqsun> eithel are you on a macbook?
[01:26] <EitheL> nop
[01:26] <teqsun> I had that same problem.

[01:26] <teqsun> sry.
[01:26] <EitheL> its ok
[01:26] <EitheL> mabye because acer just sucks :D
[01:26] <teqsun> ll

[01:27] <EitheL> i actually got my friend to install ubuntu on his comp since windows failed on his
[01:27] <NetM> *teqsun* "quiet splash" ?
[01:27] <Name141> warriorforgod: I am guessing http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html
[01:27] <teqsun> keep quiet
[01:27] <teqsun> remove splash
[01:27] <EitheL> and i would install ubuntu on my comp if i could keep my windows runnin :P
[01:27] <NetM> :)
[01:27] <teqsun> or else its very... loud ;)
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> EitheL: all you have to do is dualboot
[01:28] <EitheL>  dualboot...?
[01:28] <teqsun> I have it dualbooting with windows xp
[01:28] <NetM> Says "loading, please wait..."
[01:28] <NetM> :D
[01:28] <teqsun> k
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> !dualboot | EitheL
[01:28] <ubotu> EitheL: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[01:28] <teqsun> just keep letting it load
[01:28] <Name141> I just use Vmware
[01:28] <teqsun> may take like 6 - 7 min
[01:28] <NetM> :D
[01:28] <teqsun> exciting aint it ;)
[01:28] <EitheL>  ooo
[01:28] <teqsun> I darn near jumped for joy when I got ubuntu to boot
[01:28] <teqsun> tried almost every distro I could get my hands on
[01:28] <maimster> Hi all.
[01:28] <l815> what's the terminal command to remove a folder with files inside?
[01:28] <warriorforgod> Name141: yes
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> EitheL: short and sweet, you partition your hard drive, 1 partition for Ubuntu, 1 for Xp/Vista, and you get a menu when you turn on yoru PC, asking which to boot.. i'd say a majority of folks dualboot.
[01:28] <teqsun> rm -rf dir
[01:29] <teqsun> rm -rf "dirname"
[01:29] <l815> thanks teqsun
[01:29] <NetM> It says errors @ blocks :x
[01:29] <teqsun> yep
[01:29] <mouseboyx> Is there a hotkey to show desktop?
[01:29] <teqsun> Is your Master IDE device a hard drive?
[01:29] <mad_max02> anyone else that knows how to enable extra desktop effects with newest nvidia drivers installed ???
[01:29] <NetM> Sata
[01:29] <mouseboyx> ctrl+alt+d nvm
[01:29] <teqsun> ok
[01:29] <teqsun> I think all satas are masters ?
[01:29] <NetM> Yes
[01:29] <teqsun> just see if it goes past that
[01:29] <NetM> Shit
[01:30] <teqsun> uh oh
[01:30] <NetM> Same think with graphics
[01:30] <teqsun> wait
[01:30] <teqsun> just let it go
[01:30] <teqsun> its probably loading the ubuntu OS
[01:30] <maimster> mad_max02: What new features do you get when using the nVidia cards?
[01:30] <NetM> Its the same :/
[01:30] <teqsun> i kno
[01:30] <teqsun> just give it a few min
[01:30] <mad_max02> maimster, what do you mean ?
[01:30] <teqsun> did your monitor turn off?
[01:30] <NetM> Blue green screen with purple mouse
[01:30] <maimster> mad_max02 I have a few of them lying around.
[01:30] <NetM> No
[01:30] <teqsun> uhh
[01:30] <techII> anyone know if there is some place i can put scripts, that execute when network-manager comes up/down
[01:30] <teqsun> wow...
[01:31] <NetM> :/
[01:31] <maimster> mad_max02 I thought you were saying that you can different features.
[01:31] <kenro> For wishink me luck, upgradink to Hardy already.
[01:31] <mad_max02> maimster, I still dont get it what ur trying to ask me.
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> maimster: he's trying to use compiz... unfortunately his card requires the binary driver... and he's robably already hosed any chance of getting it to work by using envy
[01:32] <maimster> mad_max02 IndyGunFreak just explained it.  Thanks.
[01:32] <stormze1> IndyGunFreak: That's a "temporary hose", right?  Can't he just uninstall everything he installed?
[01:32] <maimster> Anyone having a problem with download speeds?
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> stormze1: not usually, thats why its such a bad idea.
[01:32] <maimster> My 7.10 is crawling....
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> its the same problem wiht automatix, easyubuntu, etc.
[01:32] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, I dont want to use compiz. Compiz works on my machine
[01:32] <marble53_> can someone help me with updating my alsa driver?
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: then what do you want to do?
[01:33] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, I just want to use plain and simple extra desktop effects
[01:33] <tinman> k, tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg plenty of time :<, i get an error, too many paramater given in line 47 in /gmd/defaultXserver or something similar
[01:33] <tinman> any way at all to fix this?
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: if compiz works, then extra should work, pure and simple.;
[01:33] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, there is none, normal, extra and custom
[01:33] <stormze1> oh. :(  I resorted to envy as well when the restricted drivers didn't work.  Oh well, doesn't sound like it will work for 965 anyway until the next release.
[01:33] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, nope. thats the problem.
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> don't know.
[01:33] <f4_> con
[01:34] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, I can select custom and use compiz but I cant select extra coz then it asks to enable driver which installs the old 100.xx one
[01:34] <Devourer> How I extract a .tar.gz file?
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: i really don't know, i dont' know how many times i can say that
[01:34] <joshaidan> Devourer: tar xvfz filename.tar.gz
[01:34] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, do you really think that envy is bad thing ?
[01:34] <dvarg388> Devourer, tar -xvfz
[01:34] <Devourer> joshaidan, thanks.
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: i don't *think* envy is a bad thing
[01:35] <teqsun> I made the mistake of installing kubuntu over ubuntu...
[01:35] <mouseboyx> In xchat is there a key to scroll up in the window?
[01:35] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, u just dont like it ?
[01:35] <teqsun> now all of my options and stuff are in weird places
[01:35] <stormze1> IndyGunFreak: .. I should have known from the crappy interface... hehehe
[01:35] <mad_max02> or its really that problematic
[01:35] <NetM> *teqsun* with "safe graphics" its ok :)
[01:35] <celi0us> !envy
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: ok, i guess you didn't get it, I *know* is a bad thing
[01:35] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[01:35] <NetM> Lets try :)
[01:35] <teqsun> hmm
[01:35] <teqsun> maybe you can install with safe graphics
[01:35] <teqsun> and install driverS?
[01:35] <NetM> Dunno yet
[01:35] <teqsun> you can boot into safe mode
[01:36] <NetM> Loading.
[01:36] <Logiar> I'm just curious. How do i uninstall stuff that I've installed by doing make install?
[01:36] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, ah. Ok. Then I should uninstall it ? I have problem coz I cant install driver manually
[01:36] <teqsun> uninstall
[01:36] <teqsun> ?
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: no.. cuz then you'll have more problems than yous tarted with most likely
[01:36] <teqsun> oh wait
[01:36] <teqsun> did you make uninstall?
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> !enter | teqsun geez.. there's 1200 people here
[01:36] <ubotu> teqsun geez.. there's 1200 people here: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:36] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, but I can always roll back to old 100.xx drivers
[01:36] <Ububegin> Is AVG a gud anti-virus software for Ubuntu... or any else , u guys can recommend
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> mad_max02: you can do anything you like
[01:37] <teqsun> allrighty.
[01:37] <techII> also, anyone know how to automatically authenticate against cisco's clean access?
[01:37] <maimster> Ububegin: Have you tried Avast?
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> Ububegin: you really don't need antivirus for ubuntu, unless you plan on protecting windows machines w/ it
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> !virus | Ububegin
[01:37] <ubotu> Ububegin: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[01:37] <Name141> warriorforgod: I am guessing that the nVidia driver will help Ubuntu run better?
[01:37] <LimCore> are there gui tools to appArmored to configure it?  how secure is this solution?
[01:38] <juggaloreborn> can anyone tell me how to reg my nick on here?

[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> Ububegin: well, i wouldn't say none, but i'd say you really have to piss someone off to get one..lol
[01:39] <maimster> juggaloreborn /msg nickserv help should get you started
[01:40] <Gatton> Does hdparm / dma need to be set for SATA drives? Or does gutsy configure that automatically?
[01:40] <dvarg388> Good to know about the lack of virus thing, JUST made my first leap into Linux.
[01:40] <LimCore> dvarg388: therre are viruses etc for linux
[01:40] <maimster> I have never ran virus software within linux. In years....
[01:41] <LimCore> maimster: me too, but dont let the guards down
[01:41] <EitheL>  can spyware effect linux?
[01:41] <LimCore> maimster: btw, you didnt run skype? its accused of beeing spyware
[01:41] <Odd-rationale> !virus | dvarg388, you can read more here:
[01:41] <ubotu> dvarg388, you can read more here:: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[01:41] <LimCore> EitheL: yes
[01:41] <EitheL>  ahh like all spyware?
[01:41] <EitheL>  same as ones that will infect windows
[01:41] <maimster> LimCore I have a Skype account on a windows box, and on my Nokia phone never had a problem though.

[01:41] <tinman> x-server problem, i get a something/gdm/defaultXserver too many paramater given on line 47 when i boot, i have tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with no avail
[01:41] <Name141> !virus
[01:41] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[01:42] <EitheL>  ahh I see
[01:42] <EitheL>  thanks :D
[01:42] <LimCore> wow this !virus entry is faulty
[01:42] <juggaloreborn> sweet
[01:42] <jscinoz> is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)?
[01:42] <magnetron> LimCore: why do you say that?
[01:43] <ogre_> hello everybody!)
[01:43] <nikon252> hi
[01:43] <LimCore> magnetron: there are TONS of troyans, worms, rootkits etc targetet at linux.  such fanboi articles do not help by false sense of security
[01:44] <magnetron> LimCore: the article is only about VIRUSES. please don't confuse viruses with other malware
[01:44] <juggaloreborn> but with linux, if you get a virus you go into Godmode (Use the CLI) and cleanse it
[01:44] <mouseboyx> How do you run commands with a keystroke in the terminal
[01:44] <LimCore> magnetron: users confuse it.  No viruses (omg omg)  ....but rootkits etc.
[01:44] <ogre_> I'm a newbie in Linux, plz help me fix the problem
[01:44] <juggaloreborn> whatcha need ogre
[01:44] <LimCore> ogre_: what problem
[01:45] <nikon252> could some please help me take care of this error:  E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvolume-id0_113-0ubuntu17_amd64.deb: files list file for package `mono-runtime' is missing final newline
[01:45] <celi0us> LimCore: go google "rootkit"
[01:45] <EcoBlue> how will ubuntu handle a new dvd drive
[01:45] <LimCore> celi0us: and?
[01:45] <magnetron> LimCore: so we agree the article is not faulty
[01:45] <Jangari> when i run vpnc, it causes my connection to the server to choke, and eventually nautilus freezes. Even cd'ing to the server in a terminal freezes up. Any ideas?
[01:45] <teqsun> I just finished reading the article about the virii Awesome read!
[01:45] <EitheL>  Ecoblue: all you need are the driver and software to run DVDs from it
[01:45] <mouseboyx> how do you open something from the system try without a mouse?
[01:45] <magnetron> LimCore: it's just possible to misinterpret... as other texts
[01:45] <EitheL>  like VLC player
[01:45] <LimCore> magnetron: worms, viruses, same thing for end user
[01:45] <ogre_> I don't now how to chage xdm to kdm
[01:46] <ogre_> Kubuntu 7.10
[01:46] <magnetron> LimCore: no.
[01:46] <EcoBlue> EitheL, will it just detect it and use it?
[01:46] <EitheL>  also is there a shortcut for switching screens?
[01:46] <Odd-rationale> ogre_: Have you installed kdm ?
[01:46] <EitheL>  yep
[01:46] <EitheL>  works for me :P
[01:46] <nikon252> anyone able to solve that problem
[01:46] <ogre_> yes
[01:46] <LimCore> magnetron: I got my files deleted by a virus :((((   No... WAIT! it was a WORM not a virus! pheeeew!
[01:46] <EitheL>  ur comp should be able to detect it even before linux starts up
[01:46] <bluefoxx> ok, so i just got a new dvd drive and installed it, however, gxine wont detect it, and says something about dma mode rad failure from /dev/dvd. the device in question is a brand new lg super multi dvd burner with secure disk capabilities. how should i configure this device?
[01:46] <EitheL>  thats how ppl install linux anyway :P
[01:47] <magnetron> LimCore: worms don't do that, get your facts straight
[01:47] <LimCore> magnetron: some do, why not? or cause other damage
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> magnetron: he apparentlly likes to imbelish a bit, in case you havent noticed
[01:47]  * magnetron is imbelished
[01:47] <LimCore> it might delete files on a host system (e.g., the ExploreZip worm)  -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm
[01:48] <jarrettgreen> Evening guys. I've got a newb question here. I don't know what I'm even referring to - perhaps DNS, so I don't really know where to start looking for tutorials. Here's my scenario. I've got a Dapper box up and running. Everything is awesome, working well togheter, ftp, ssh, apache, etc. I have a static IP from my cable provider, and have routed port 80 on that IP to the box. I work with a hosting company for our corporate
[01:48] <LimCore> magnetron: either you, or wikipedia article on Worms, is mistaken. I guess that you
[01:48] <NetM> Teqsun partition for boot , logical or primary ?
[01:48] <ogre_> I've installed fluxbox and KDE
[01:48] <bluefoxx> so how do i configure a new dvd drive in 7.10?
[01:48] <LimCore> bluefoxx: hmm what is there to configure? it should just work
[01:48] <magnetron> LimCore: yes, but does worms magically become viruses? no?
[01:49] <KiD_ChAoS> when i right click on a file and i go to Actions---> then Email, it always opens up with Kmail but i want to use evolution. i have changed many settigns trying to achieve the task but still i get krappy kmail. help me please
[01:49] <ogre_> Also I don't know how to add fluxbox to boot list
[01:49] <LimCore> magnetron: both viruses and worms can destroy user files; or do other damage. linux may be quite secure from viruses, but not so much from worms, which that fanboy style article forgotten to mentioned
[01:50] <bluefoxx> LimCore: for the most part, it does. however it doesnt appear as /dev/dvd and as such gxine cant seem to use it. also i dont belive the dvd reigon has been set in it
[01:50] <LimCore> ogre_: just install it
[01:50] <Odd-rationale> ogre_: Have you tried uninstalling xdm and reinstalling kdm? form command line, kill X.
[01:50] <Odd-rationale> from
[01:50] <KiD_ChAoS> when i right click on a file and i go to Actions---> then Email, it always opens up with Kmail but i want to use evolution. i have changed many settigns trying to achieve the task but still i get krappy kmail. help me please
[01:50] <teqsun> howdy yall... having to use Bitchx now
[01:50] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS:   run kcontrol and change default applications there
[01:50] <maimster> teqsun: You mean there are other chat clients other than BitchX?
[01:51] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS: and btw, kmail > evolution,  from what I've seen :)
[01:51] <guillaume> hi all
[01:51] <maimster> Hi
[01:51] <guillaume> im kind of new to this
[01:51] <Gatton> Thunderbird ftw ;-)
[01:51] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[01:51] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[01:51] <teqsun> does kmail support imap?
[01:51] <guillaume> i need to run a program from terminal
[01:51] <KiD_ChAoS> LimCore, i use an exchange server, Kmail doesn't have the wit for that
[01:51] <ogre_> Isn't possible do it by editinh any configs?
[01:51] <Jangari> woohoo!
[01:51] <Gatton> mmm splitteroo!
[01:51] <Jangari> yeeee haw!!
[01:51] <osxdude|laptop> wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[01:51] <Jangari> i love a good netsplit!!
[01:51] <magnetron> LimCore: power shortages may also damage your computer. so does your brother, or a corrupted hard drive or static electrical charges. they are not !viruses anyway.
[01:51] <teqsun> haha
[01:52] <Jangari> again again!!
[01:52] <Gatton> just like the good ole days
[01:52] <teqsun> so does kmail support imap?
[01:52] <guillaume> and then save the outoup
[01:52] <KiD_ChAoS> LimCore, i use an exchange server, Kmail doesn't have the wit for that
[01:52] <guillaume> outpu
[01:52] <Odd-rationale> teqsun: Yes.
[01:52] <teqsun> thank you odd
[01:52] <maimster> Anyone know the site for ubuntu forums?
[01:52] <LimCore> magnetron: most users mistake viruses for worms.  most users do NOT mistake viruses for brother
[01:52] <Gatton> ubuntuforums.org?
[01:52] <tinman> xserver is not loading.. can't get it to work..kill self
[01:52] <evilbat> http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php
[01:53] <magnetron> LimCore: you have apparently not met my brother
[01:53] <maimster> evilbat: Thanks.
[01:53] <evilbat> no problem
[01:53] <KiD_ChAoS> LimCore, it already has evolution in there, i made that change but still Kmail opens instead
[01:53] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS: hmm not sure then... from every program?
[01:53] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, dude I just uninstalled both nvidia and envy
[01:53] <wols_> tinman: check your Xorg.0.log
[01:53] <KiD_ChAoS> yes
[01:54] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, do you maybe have any link to good install guide ?
[01:54] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS: hmm not sure then... perhaps ask also #kamil and/or file a bug
[01:54] <KiD_ChAoS> do you know the evolution executable
[01:54] <tinman> wols_: then? :,
[01:54] <tinman> :<*
[01:54] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS: evolution
[01:54] <guillaume> what is the comand to run a program in a console?
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia | mad_max02
[01:54] <ubotu> mad_max02: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:54] <NetM> Installing :)
[01:54] <KiD_ChAoS> LimCore, ok thankyou
[01:54] <guillaume> and Stay in the console
[01:54] <NetM> Error :x
[01:54] <wols_> tinman: then you pastebin its contents
[01:54] <LimCore> guillaume: open a console, then type the program name and press enter
[01:54] <wols_> guillaume: command&
[01:54] <LimCore> guillaume: to open a console use alt+f2 and type  aterm   or  konsole   and enter
[01:54] <tinman> wols_: okey, i did that last time, was told to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, didnt help
[01:55] <rycole> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu, and i am trying to install xchat via the "Add/Remove" dialog. when i click the check mark for xchat, it tells me the list of applications is not available, and to click refresh. when i click refresh it seems to download a list (it says "download file 6 of 6") and then processes it, it looks like
[01:55] <tinman> wols_: brb, i'll reboot into live cd
[01:55] <rycole> but it does this every time i click the x next to xchat
[01:55] <rycole> any ideaS?
[01:55] <guillaume> but it's start the program in a window
[01:55] <LimCore> rycole: click apply
[01:55] <guillaume> I need to copy the result to pastebin/...
[01:55] <wols_> guillaume: so?
[01:55] <LimCore> guillaume:   what result?
[01:55] <guillaume> I get an error in gnucash and they asked me to do this
[01:55] <rycole> LimCore: the apply button is never enabled
[01:56] <guillaume> I need to open a invoice in the console
[01:56] <guillaume> no clue how to do that
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: just open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[01:56] <wols_> ubotu: you will see output in the xterm you can copy+paste
[01:56] <LimCore> guillaume: start an xterminal like  aterm   or konsole,   then write there   gnucash  and press enter
[01:56] <guillaume> yea
[01:56] <guillaume> gnucash is starting
[01:56] <LimCore> rycole: or just click APPLY instead refresh
[01:56] <guillaume> put can I stay in the console and use the program in the console
[01:56] <guillaume> ?
[01:56] <mouseboyx> what is the keyboard shortcut in gnome to give focus to the panel or , how do I select the system tray?
[01:56] <rycole> LimCore: there's *never* an apply button enabled for me to click.
[01:57] <wols_> an X program AWLAYS opens a GUI window
[01:57] <LimCore> guillaume: hmm?
[01:57] <mad_max02> IndyGunFreak, that guide is for installing restricted drivers which are old 100.xx ones.
[01:57] <LimCore> rycole: strange, perhaps indeed just use apt-get
[01:57] <wols_> but gnucash will write its errors in that xterm
[01:57] <LimCore> wols_: (actually not really always ;)
[01:57] <wols_> LimCore: when not?
[01:57] <guillaume> aaaaaa
[01:57] <guillaume> I see
[01:57] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: i tried that as well, and it says there's no xchat package. i even tried apt-get update, and it doesn't seem to download anything new.
[01:57] <guillaume> thanks
[01:57] <LimCore> wols_: one can make window-less X program
[01:57] <mrpockets> i need the command to force kill a program
[01:57] <baldio> is ubuntu a circus? www.ubuntu.de
[01:58] <LimCore> mrpockets: kill
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: hav eyou modified your source list?
[01:58] <mouseboyx> killall name of progam
[01:58] <dzer0> hello
[01:58] <KiD_ChAoS> who handles Kmail issues? there is no Kmail room here
[01:58] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: nope
[01:58] <rycole> do i need to?
[01:58] <LimCore> baldio: sure
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: maybe.
[01:58] <baldio> :D
[01:58] <LimCore> KiD_ChAoS: try #kde  or use some mailing list etc
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: open synaptic package manager.. system/admin/synaptic
[01:58] <mouseboyx> Is there a keyboard shortcut for pidgin to bring up the buddy list?
[01:58] <Ashnal> okay, so, a friend of mine left his computer installing updates and locked the screen so no one else could touch it, his sibling cold booted the thing into windows while he was gone and now the kernel is kaput and wont mount the root filesystem, so i fiured we need to rplace the kernel, so my question is, where can we obtain the kernel for gutsy and where do we put it? We will be using the windows ext3 driver to do this since he los
[01:58] <Lifeisfunny> I try ot do an update through the terminal and all I get is one line of.........    0% [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)] [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (192.16
[01:59] <guillaume> what does that mean: "gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time."
[01:59] <dzer0> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 and then Windows XP on another partition. Is there a way to activate grub again from Windows?
[01:59] <Carbonflux> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> dzer0: you'll have to do it from the live CD
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | dzer0
[02:00] <ubotu> dzer0: 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
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: were you able to install from there
[02:01] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Um, what do you mean it won't mount the root filesystem?  Does it say it doesn't exist or is the kernel hanging in some bizarre way?
[02:01] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Further, what about the recovery mode option?
[02:01] <computer09809> do i need a hub or a router? i have a print server
[02:01] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: i don't see an xchat package in this. it looks like a different package manager?
[02:02] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: click settings/repositories
[02:02] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: 14.319125 kernel panic - not syncing:VFS:unable tomount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[02:02] <Ashnal> recovery mode does the same thing

[02:02] <rhineheart_m> Hello! Is anybody of you here knows postfix very well? I've been trying to visit #postfix and send messages there but nobody responded.
[02:02] <rycole> i have download from main server chosen
[02:02] <rhineheart_m> m configuring it work in my ubuntu box
[02:02] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: thats fine, are all the boxes checked? on the top under "download from the internet"
[02:03] <tinman> wols_: okey, i am pastebinning
[02:03] <rycole> no, none are
[02:03] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Is block(0,0) the right place to be mounting?
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: thus the problem,check them all
[02:03] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: I have no idea
[02:03] <nikon252> how do I recover .deb packages that fail to install
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: after checking them all, apply changes, then in synaptic, click "reload"
[02:03] <mouseboyx> nevermind i enabled mousekeys
[02:03] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: but the OS is installed at the beginning of the disk so i think
[02:04] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: ok, this seems to be working. it's downloading about 45 files.
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: right, now, you can either search synaptic for xchat, and install it, or go to add/remove, or in a terminal, sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:05] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: See, my guess would be either (a) the wrong locations is being pointed to or (b) initramfs wasn't created properly.
[02:05] <Lifeisfunny> anybody have a good website that can teach someone about compiling programs?
[02:05] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: In any case, your easiest option would be to boot the Ubuntu Live CD and go from there.
[02:05] <Lifeisfunny> sorry, that might be for offtopic
[02:05] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: umm i stated that the liveCD was lost
[02:05] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: thanks. i have to say, desktop linux has come a long way since i last used slackware/freebsd back in 2000, or so. :P
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: a LONG way
[02:05] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Make a new one?
[02:06] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: not an option, could you answer my original questions please?
[02:06] <rycole> yeah, i almost fell out of my chair in shock at the graphical install
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[02:06] <rycole> and how sound actually worked out of the box.
[02:06] <jarrettgreen> Hey guys. I have a newb ? here. I don't really know what I referring to, but I think it's a DNS thing. Here's my scenario. I have a Dapper box up and running, everything works good. I ahve a static IP, and our router points port 80 to our box. I use a seperate hosting company and would like to have dev.ourcompany.com point to out box. With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> hardware support is quite good now days
[02:06] <praetor> Lifeisfunn: http://tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/development.html
[02:07] <rycole> yeah, i just need to figure out this wireless adapter issue. it says i need some proprietary firmware, or something. i
[02:07] <jarrettgreen> I guess the reason i can do a namesever thing from my host is because this is a sub-domain- is what I want even possible?
[02:07] <rycole> will have to do some googling.
[02:07] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Fine, but I still doubt it's the kernel that's the issue.
[02:07] <tinman> wols_: http://pastebin.ca/922867 <- the x log you wanted me to pastebin
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: whats yhour wireless chipset?
[02:07] <jsteezey> rycole what wireless do you have/
[02:08] <rycole> well, it's a newer dell laptop, so im sure it'll have some support somewhere. it was telling me the chipset in a notification earlier.. let me see if i can find it again
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: open a terminal, "lspci" no quotes.. see how it identifies your wireless device
[02:09] <jsteezey> or lsusb depending lol
[02:09] <wols_> tinman: this is not the one when it doesn't work, is it? you get vesa loaded with it. what vga chipset do you use?
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> true, well i'm assuming its internal.
[02:09]  * wols_ bets it's a broadcom. oh joy
[02:09] <jsteezey> right i did also when i bought this new box
[02:09] <tinman> wols_: umm, inbuilt intel vedio card?
[02:09] <jsteezey> mine is usb though
[02:09] <jsteezey> rt73
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: how does it work?
[02:10] <wols_> tinman: so why is acpi and agpgart not working?
[02:10] <jsteezey> great with the Ralink drivers
[02:10] <rycole> umm.. the output of lspci is at http://dpaste.com/37294/
[02:10] <jsteezey> the one is the repo are horrible
[02:10] <tinman> wols_: when it dosent loat it points to something/gdm/defaultXserver or something similar and says too many paramaters on line 47
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: whats the specific make/model of your device?
[02:10] <jsteezey> also i had to blacklist all the other Ralink modules

[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: what model USB wireless device do you have?
[02:12] <wols_> genbuntu: some other program already uses the port nessus wants to use
[02:12] <jsteezey> uh its a Ralink rt73
[02:12] <amenado> genbuntu-> which port your nessus is attempting to use?
[02:12] <BoostedSS> if I have a program that I want to start up automatically how do I do it?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: thats a chipset isn't it?
[02:13] <tinman> wols_: okey, it's /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer and somethign about too many parameters on line 47, that what i  get when i try to boot in
[02:13] <genbuntu> wols, amenado: how to I check which prot nessus or other program is trying?
[02:13] <rycole> IndyGunFreak: ok ill check that link out. that's the thing it was giving me in the notification earlier, btw. the bcm43xx :P
[02:13] <wols_> tinman: you don't get that. I need concrete steps what you do and what the exact error is

I use a seperate hosting company and would like to have dev.ourcompany.com point to out box. With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> rycole: lol
[02:13] <jsteezey> IndyGun: I guess
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: well i don't think ralink makes a usb device, thats strictly a chipset.
[02:14] <amenado> genbuntu-> look to its manual? readme files?
[02:14] <tomd123> does anyone know of any tool which will tell you the bandwidth usage/ total bandwidth used in the past 24 hours, hopefully something like a graph that just sits in my desktop bar
[02:14] <jsteezey> hang on ill get it
[02:14] <jsteezey> im on my laptop
[02:14] <tinman> wols_: There is no way i can copy errors during bot up, i boot into ubuntu and when I an supposed to get login screen it tells me X server failed to load and wehter i want to view the error or not, and when I do it gives the aforementioned error
[02:14] <Jahromeo> what is avant window manager called in the repos?
[02:15] <wols_> tinman: then pastebin THAT error
[02:15] <genbuntu> amenado: hmm.. surprising. when i try to "man nessus" it says "No manual entry for nessus" .

[02:15] <tristanmike> Hi all...weird thing happening. I've tried installing DVD playback using the instructions found under "Help and Support" in the menu, and when it didn't work, I went to the Ubuntu Documentation site for Restricted Codecs, but now my DVD-RW doesn't read discs and I get "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" and "end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4" in messages. Any ideas ?

[02:15] <guillaume__> LimCore: Thanks man
[02:15] <wols_> when you display it

[02:15] <genbuntu> amenado: btw, i used the .deb package for its installation
[02:16] <Jahromeo> what is awm under in the repos?
[02:16] <wols_> tinman: errors never say "somethign about" so don't try to fool me
[02:16] <amenado> genbuntu-> research what it uses as ports
[02:16] <on_hiatus> hello...
[02:16] <genbuntu> amenado: do u remember what was the command to view all the internet applications which are using ports ? (something similar to "top" ) ?
[02:16] <tinman> wols_: i didnt say error said that, that is me trying to remember it..
[02:16] <bastid_raZor> Jahromeo;  avant-window-navigator and awn-core-applets-bzr

[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: thank you
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: also, if you're gonna prefix my name, might as well prefix it all, or its not gonna alert me
[02:19] <on_hiatus> i'm currently running Ubuntu 5.10... tried to load 7.10... coiuldn't load it... not enough RAM... question: will incremental upgrades one release at a time allow me to reach 7.10 without using up all available RAM?

[02:20] <genbuntu> amenado: hmm.. i checked with netstat and lsof but the TCP port 1241 doesn't seem to be in-use . (nessus uses tcp 1241)

[02:20] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, how much RAM do you have ?
[02:21] <Jahromeo> I think I might give gnome a go kde is too buggy for me atm
[02:21] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak: I was using Sabayon with KDE on the box before
[02:21] <prettyricky> Hey guys what can I use to increase the hard drive space since I only allowed 10 gig for the installation of ubuntu. Is there anything that I can repartition my drive?
[02:21] <KiD_ChAoS> how do i edit my context menus (ie. right-click menu) in kde?
[02:21] <genbuntu> amenado, can I manually stop that port's use : tcp 1241?
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: never cared for sabayon., are you sure thats the right model number?.. can't find one of that model for belkin
[02:21] <amenado> genbuntu-> those port are not showing in lsof -i ?
[02:21] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak: and it listed it as Ralink USB wireless device so i just assumed and i didnt no nothing about it
[02:21] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, which firewall does one use with gutsy ? and how can I be notified of an intrusion in realtime ?
[02:21] <jarrettgreen> wols_ thanks for the repeat............
[02:21] <zero> hi any one can help me with a problem with a card reader ?
[02:21] <genbuntu> amenado, nope :(
[02:21] <on_hiatus> less than the 384 (approx.) that I seem to need... a full 7.10 install conks out at 82% complete...
[02:21] <wols_> jarrettgreen: no thanks for yours
[02:22] <tristanmike> KiD_ChAoS, check out #kubuntu
[02:22] <amenado> genbuntu can you try moving the nessus port to something without conflicT?
[02:22] <genbuntu> amenado, lsof -i only shows 5 ports in use : 4 of pidgin and 1 of xchat
[02:22] <KiD_ChAoS> tristanmike, thanx
[02:22] <Jahromeo> on_hiatus i had that problem
[02:22] <amenado> genbuntu-> netstat -aup same?
[02:22] <jarrettgreen> how do I change a users password that I've just created?
[02:22] <on_hiatus> & how did you fix it, jahromeo?
[02:22] <wols_> on_hiatus: how much do you have?
[02:22] <hoarycripple> tinman, log in on a terminal CTRL-ALT-F1 and issue the command: sudo modprobe intel-agp
[02:22] <amenado> genbuntu-> netstat -atup same?
[02:23] <Jahromeo> on_hiatus is it a kubuntu or ubuntu install
[02:23] <zero> any one get a card reader on aspire 3680 working ?
[02:23] <bastid_raZor> jarrettgreen; in a terminal sudo passwd username
[02:23] <on_hiatus> as I said... about 380 +/-
[02:23] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX:  I've had good luck with a program called Firestarter
[02:23] <hoarycripple> tinman, and then try restarting gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:23] <wols_> on_hiatus: ubuntu needs "only" 256MB
[02:23] <Jahromeo> on_hiatus what installed is it ubuntu/kubuntu?
[02:23] <Jahromeo> installer*
[02:23] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:how can i find out cuz i went to Ralinks website and that was the only one that was listed under RT73 chipset along with one other Linksys device
[02:23] <genbuntu> amenado, netstat -aup gives a list of only UDP ports, and none of them are 1241.
[02:23] <hoarycripple> tinman, also, you can check if intel-agp is loaded:  lsmod |grep intel-agp
[02:23] <foibles> whats a good rss feed program?
[02:23] <hoarycripple> tinman, and check the output of that
[02:23] <on_hiatus> jahromeo: regular old Ubuntu (gnome)
[02:23] <amenado> genbuntu-> netstat -atup same?
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: lsusb in a terminal should say
[02:24] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, have you tried the alternate disc with the text based install and opt out for installing any of the eye-candy ?
[02:24] <AutoMatriX> killerbeesateme, thanks
[02:24] <Jahromeo> ok on_hiatus and 82% is scanning mirrors?
[02:24] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX:  no problem.
[02:24] <on_hiatus> tristanmike: no
[02:24] <Jahromeo> kubuntus 82% is scanning mirrors thats where i got stuck , can fix that
[02:24] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak: when i do that it doesnt list a wireless device
[02:24] <Jahromeo> is ubuntu the same?
[02:24] <AutoMatriX> killerbeesateme, that gives you a real-time warning ? or can it be configued that way ?
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[02:25] <on_hiatus> jahromeo: not sure I understand your reply... old noob disease...
[02:25] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:it just list other devices
[02:25] <tinman> hoarycripple: i am on live cd, should i do that in recovery mode
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: is your wireless device connected to a USb device?
[02:25] <Jahromeo> on_hiatus when it says 82% what part of the install is it busy doing "scanning mirrors"
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> *port
[02:25] <KiD_ChAoS> now im going to ask a bunch of questions and i want you to answer them immediately
[02:25] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, I'd say if Jahromeo has a solution for you, great, otherwise, I'd suggest doing the text based install and see if you have better luck
[02:25] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX:  Yes, it will place a program in your system tray that will turn red with alerts...if I remember correctly.  I havne't used it for a while
[02:25] <jarrettgreen> bastid_raZor what are the default permissions given to a user?
[02:25] <tinman> hoarycripple: also, i fond the error using google, the forum said dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fixed one guys problem but the the other ones
[02:25] <on_hiatus> no... if i understand you... no... I'm working off a cd
[02:25] <Jahromeo> I had this issue with Kubuntu and I fixed it so if ubuntu installer is similar nowdays it might work
[02:26] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:its in the back of the box
[02:26] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX:  it's pretty easy to set up too, it will also monitor active connections too
[02:26] <on_hiatus> ok, tristanmike...thx
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[02:26] <Jahromeo> yes but during install when it reaches 82% is installer displaying "scanning for mirrors" e.g. does it get stuck when its scanning for repositories?
[02:26] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:all i had to do was srew on the attena
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[02:26] <genbuntu> amenado, hmm.. netstat -atup gives some tcp and udp ports . Some tcp ones are like :*:nfs , *:netbios-ssn , localhost:ipp etc..
[02:26] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: You can download a kernel here: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-image-2.6.22-14-386_2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb
[02:26] <on_hiatus> not that I recall...
[02:26] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:it just said it was usb in network menager
[02:26] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:the one that is in the KDE
[02:26] <genbuntu> amenado, but none specifically 1241
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[02:26] <Jahromeo> on kubuntu when it gets stuck at 82% it is a bug with scanning the repo's what I do for that is enable/disable network card
[02:26] <on_hiatus> stupid noob should have written that down...
[02:27] <Jahromeo> and installer carries on
[02:27] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, out of curiosity, do you get an error telling you you're out of RAM ? or is that an assumption ?
[02:27] <on_hiatus> ... and next time i will
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: so its actualy in a PCi lot?
[02:27] <AutoMatriX> killerbeesateme, ok, so I will not get into trouble if I plugin a windows machine via ethernet ?
[02:27] <Jahromeo> so if its a mirroring issue disable network card / internet then install
[02:27] <on_hiatus> tristanmike... assumption
[02:27] <KilllerKlown> can anyone help me with xcompmgr here please>?
[02:27] <amenado> genbuntu am not familiar with nessus nor what port 1241 is..
[02:27] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:maybe
[02:27] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:lol i feel like a noob
[02:27] <wil> hi, When I type shift 2, I get ¨ instead of the usual quote mark... this is a problem as I cant do querys on google and I have a similar problem with apostrophe. How can I put the normal ones on?
[02:27] <on_hiatus> it seems to load slowly... then stop at about 82%
[02:27] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, have you confirmed the disc is good by doing a check on it ?
[02:27] <amenado> genbuntu-> are you sure those are the port it uses  now?
[02:27] <bastid_raZor> jarrettgreen; what you give them.
[02:28] <tinman> and wols http://pastebin.ca/922893 that's the EXACT error i am getting
[02:28] <on_hiatus> yes... worked just fine on my friends machine
[02:28] <Jahromeo> is the install direct from the livecd like kubuntu on_hiatus?
[02:28] <levander> Are there any good GUI video editors available?
[02:28] <tristanmike> cool
[02:28] <KilllerKlown> xcompmgr is giving me a continuous error... someone please help
[02:28] <jsteezey> IndyGunFreak:i dont even now what device it is but i had to compile the rt73 drivers and it works now lol
[02:28] <KiD_ChAoS> now im going to ask a bunch of questions and i want you to answer them immediately!
[02:28] <genbuntu> amenado, yes thats what someone posted on the internet
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> jsteezey: ok.
[02:28] <on_hiatus> it is a live cd that can also be used for a traditional install
[02:28] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX: are you using the linux box as a firewall for the windows machine?  or are you just on the same network?
[02:28] <amenado> genbunt verify, it proly has a config file, look for it
[02:28] <genoobie> alright people...I'm a little desperate and I need some help...I'm trying to rescue my filesever HDD data and temporarily transfer it to a windows machine
[02:28] <amenado> genbuntu verify, it proly has a config file, look for it
[02:28] <Jahromeo> on_hiatus sounds the same as kbuntu install - if it gets stuck on 82% check if installer says "scanning for mirrors" if thats the case go into networking disable and enable network card / internet
[02:29] <on_hiatus> ok, jahromeo... thx
[02:29] <tristanmike> on_hiatus, yeah, for sure. Um, I still suggest if you still hit a roadblock, to do the text based install and see if you have better luck...however, the upgrade may work too...
[02:29] <genbuntu> amenado, okie . *runs off to look for more info*
[02:29] <genoobie> I have sysrecuecd booted and I'm staring at a command prompt, not quite remembering how to setup the SMB from command prompt
[02:29] <AutoMatriX> killerbeesateme, I'd like to 'dowload' some pics to my windowsmachine but I don't trust that thing :D don't know what's been going on with it and if it's contaminated or not
[02:29] <on_hiatus> thx, tristanmike
[02:29] <ffm_> How do I supress "gnome-session" 's many debug/warning messages?
[02:29] <pbj> hi! -- just installed Gutsy with alternate cd and can't even boot to a visible console. i think it's my ati x1550 causing problems. Can anyone help me?
[02:29] <KilllerKlown> help with xcompmgr please someone
[02:29] <tinman> http://pastebin.ca/922893 <- I am getting that error (regarding x server) can anyone help?
[02:29] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: You can use 7zip to extract the .deb file.
[02:30] <genoobie> ugh...okay
[02:30] <credible> Kuwanger: why are you using xcompmgr?
[02:30] <credible> err
[02:30] <on_hiatus> i'm starting to think that the sheer size is the problem... you know... the more complex the more likely to break
[02:30] <credible> KilllerKlown: ^^
[02:30] <KilllerKlown> i'm getting an error 182 when i run xcompmgr
[02:30] <KilllerKlown> please help
[02:30] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: is there any way to fix this without a liveCD? If not, is there a way to use the live CD to repair the installation without reformatting?
[02:30] <wil> hi, When I type shift 2, I get ¨ instead of the usual quote mark... this is a problem as I cant do querys on google and I have a similar problem with apostrophe. How can I put the normal ones on?
[02:30] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: And once you do, you should put the kernel image into /boot.  Now, that may be on the root partition or it may not be.  But if it is, you should also see a /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:30] <KilllerKlown> dude i'm running fluxbox ... its the shizzle
[02:30] <killerbeesateme> AutoMatriX:  well if you're looking to protect your linux box from it, it should work perfectly for you.  If you're plugging the windows pc directly into your linux PC, all bets are off of course.

[02:31] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Um, you said you were going to use the ext3fs driver.  I assume that means you know the filesystem is ext3 and you've installed said driver.
[02:31] <xeenan> Hey guyz noob ? here. Trying to install an ATI driver but when I click the installer I get an error box that says.....gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[02:31] <xeenan> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[02:31] <xeenan> Select a character coding from the menu and try again.
[02:31] <AutoMatriX> killerbeesateme, ok, tx for info, I'll find it out :D
[02:31] <xeenan> what should i do
[02:31] <wols> AutoMatriX: windows malware generally doesn't attack linux and vice versa
[02:31] <credible> KilllerKlown: xcompmgr is a worthless hack intended only as a "technology preview"
[02:31] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: i cant get the driver to work, so ill have to wait a while to get a live CD i suppose
[02:32] <_Oz_> what's fluxbox?
[02:32] <credible> it's extremely slow and rather ugly
[02:32] <AutoMatriX> wols, nice to know :D thanks, too

[02:32] <tristanmike> Hi all...weird thing happening. I've tried installing DVD playback using the instructions found under "Help and Support" in the menu, and when it didn't work, I went to the Ubuntu Documentation site for Restricted Formats, but now my DVD-RW doesn't read discs and I get "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" and "end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4" in messages. Any ideas ?
[02:32] <on_hiatus> thx for all the help, all!  Have a good night.
[02:32] <xeenan> gedit
[02:32] <icesword> !fluxbox > _Oz_
[02:32] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: What's the problem with the driver?
[02:32] <ffm_> icesword: already did that.
[02:33] <icesword> ffm_, what?
[02:33] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: the machine was cold booted so no nothing was properly shut down and it was in the middle of updates
[02:33] <wols> tristanmike: on a console /etc/init.d/gdm stop   then run "startx" and then check your Xorg.0.log
[02:33] <icesword> oh i see
[02:33] <ffm_> icesword: I already sent oz that message,
[02:33] <ffm_> .
[02:33] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: it detects the filesystem as RAW and wants to format it
[02:33] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Ie, you're using an ext2 fs driver.
[02:33] <wols> tinman: on a console /etc/init.d/gdm stop also make sure NO X server is running at all then run "startx" and then check your Xorg.0.log
[02:33] <_Oz_> thank you, icesword
[02:33] <icesword> heheh
[02:33] <icesword> nope
[02:34] <xeenan> ya im useing gedit, im new to linux didnt know there was more that one installer

[02:34] <wols> tristanmike: sorry, worng nick complete

[02:34] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Have you considered making a recovery floppy, then mounting and unmounting root?
[02:34] <wols> tristanmike: have you rebooted since then?
[02:35] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: no floppy drive
[02:35] <tristanmike> yeah
[02:35] <tristanmike> I should clarify that "burned" dvd's do work
[02:35] <tristanmike> it's just Pressed Movie dvd's dont' work
[02:35] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Got a network connection to another machine that you trust?  Got a BiOS that supports netboot?

[02:36] <_Oz_> feh!
[02:36] <tristanmike> wols, last time I had it working was on Feisty, had no real reason for it until tonight
[02:36] <wols> tristanmike: answer my question
[02:36] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: I dont know if his computer supports netboot, but we can always use my computer for the one to connect ot
[02:36] <AtomicSpark> so when i try a fresh install of the alt cd, i get that problem where it freezes at "loading boot scripts". any ideas? I've read it's a problem with the inittab or event.d format is invalid, but a fresh install shouldnt have such bugs. this also happens with 8.04.
[02:36] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Then you could try a recovery netboot.
[02:37] <Ertain> Hello everyone.
[02:37] <tristanmike> wols, It doesn't work
[02:37] <Ashnal> Kuwanger:how do we go about that?
[02:37] <wols> tristanmike: come back if you can answer my question. good day
[02:37] <Ertain> I'm trying to remove this pack meant for Heady, but it won't uninstall.
[02:37] <Brakkvatn> Hello. When will the new ATI driver become available in ubuntu?
[02:37] <tristanmike> wols, I don't understand the question
[02:37] <TrichomeKid> Anyone familiar with GXMame?  I need to load the roms from a windows machine on the network
[02:37] <foibles> why does evolution keep freezing on me!
[02:37] <foibles> would anyone have any ideas?
[02:37] <bombi> Hi - anyone got exp in unerase files ?
[02:37] <wols> tristanmike: what commands did you use to get dvd watching work?
[02:37] <Ertain> It keeps giving the error "subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1".
[02:37] <Ertain> Any ideas?

[02:38] <wols> bombi: what filesystem?
[02:38] <jarrettgreen> Hey guys. I have a newb ? here. I don't really know what I referring to, but I think it's a DNS thing. Here's my scenario. I have a Dapper box up and running, everything works good. I ahve a static IP, and our router points port 80 to our box. I use a seperate hosting company and would like to have dev.ourcompany.com point to out box. With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME
[02:38] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Download a tftp server.  Download a netboot image to server.  Run the tftp server.  And then netboot from the other system.
[02:38] <ffm_> wols: pardon me, I misread and didn't AGF.
[02:38] <wols> ffm_: I ask clear questions and I want answers to those questions. if they will tell me non sequiturs I stop talking to them. easy
[02:38] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: how do I perform the netboot on the computer booting?
[02:39] <icesword> !netinstall
[02:39] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[02:39] <ffm_> Ashnal: depends on the system.
[02:39] <wols> jarrettgreen: repeating it over and over won't help you especially when your question is so unclear
[02:39] <_Oz_> question: how can I mount an .ISO in ubuntu for viewing, like daemon tools would work in Windows?
[02:39] <Gatton> !fluxbox
[02:39] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[02:39] <ffm_> Ashnal: see above from ubotu
[02:39] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Going into the bios and change the boot order so that netboot occurs before other booting.
[02:39] <mrpockets> best way to mount an iso in Ubuntu?
[02:39] <wols> _Oz_: yes
[02:39] <tristanmike> wols, I installed gxine, libdvdnav4, libdvdread3, libxine1-ffmpeg, totem-xine, build-essential, debhelper, fakeroot, then installed the libdvdcss script
[02:39] <ffm_> !iso > _Oz_
[02:39] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: what are you trying to do?  I can try to help.
[02:39] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: At least, that seems the msot standard way BIOSs do it.
[02:39] <wols> tristanmike: where did you install that script from?
[02:39] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: okay thanks i will check to see if it supports netboot
[02:40] <killerbeesateme> jarretgreen:  a cname to your ip address should work...at least if i'm understanding your question right...
[02:40] <tristanmike> /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[02:40] <tristanmike> wols, ^^
[02:40] <wols> tristanmike: and that file you got from where?
[02:41] <wols> tristanmike: dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[02:41] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: If you do go with netboot, don't go with the ubuntu netboot installer image.  It doesn't have mount tools in the image.
[02:41] <tristanmike> it was on my computer, I'm assuming when i installed libdvdread3
[02:41] <tristanmike> wols, ^^
[02:41] <wols> tristanmike: wher did you get libdvdread3 then?
[02:41] <genbuntu> amenado, Yea the nessus document says that it listens to port 1241 by default. I even tried opening port 1241 from firestarter but no use .
[02:41] <Ashnal> Kuwanger: what will I wan to use?
[02:41] <tristanmike> wols, the ubuntu repositories
[02:41] <Chewy> hello
[02:41] <Chewy> i am back, and am still having firefox issues
[02:41] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Some sort of recovery image.  I'm currently searching around for one.
[02:42] <tristanmike> wols, done, reinstall ?
[02:42] <neonprophet> quick question, and yes I know there is a wine channel, no ones alive in there :)
[02:42] <neonprophet> hello all, can anyone think of a reason that playonlinux would make all the text and buttons disappear when I try to start wine without using playonlinux?
[02:42] <_Oz_> To mount an ISO image, ubotu tells me to use this syntax: sudo mount -o loop <iso filename> <mountpoint>
[02:42] <wols> tristanmike: you should have used medibuntu repos
[02:42] <_Oz_> what is the mountpoint?
[02:42] <wols> tristanmike: what did the script do? make a kernel module?
[02:42] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme: I don't know how else to say my question, as I'm unsure what I'm referring to. I need to make it so dev.server.com points to my dapper box
[02:43] <jarrettgreen> rather than getting to it from it's IP
[02:43] <Chewy> ok can someone help me, i run firefox and the second it opens, it closes, i ran in console and the error is "bus error"
[02:43] <wols> _Oz_: the directory where you want to mount the ISO
[02:43] <tristanmike> wols, I followed the instructions on the "Official" Documentation, I don't know what the script does....lol
[02:43] <jarrettgreen> wols_ you could have pointed out my question was unclear 40 minutes ago
[02:43] <wols> tristanmike: pastbein the scrip
[02:43] <wols> t
[02:43] <icesword> jarrettgreen, hahah,then you need a dns service
[02:43] <Chewy> anyone>
[02:43] <wols> jarrettgreen: stop whining please
[02:43] <genbuntu> amenado, is there a command to stop all net services, so that i can run nessus alone?
[02:43] <jarrettgreen> wols lol whining?
[02:43] <J-a-k-e> doesn anyone know how i might get better sound quality in ubuntu?
[02:43] <Chewy> anyone able to help>
[02:43] <Chewy> ?
[02:43] <wols> !volunteer | jarrettgreen
[02:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about volunteer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:44] <neonprophet> Chewy, you have HAL installed I assume?
[02:44] <_Oz_> wols: okay, I did that, it says the directory does not exist, must I create it first?
[02:44] <jarrettgreen> awww your fun irc stuff didn't work
[02:44] <wols> jarrettgreen: this is a volunteerchannel. if you don't like it here, pay someone to give you support
[02:44] <Chewy> HAL???
[02:44] <Chewy> what is HAL
[02:44] <wols> _Oz_: of course
[02:44] <neonprophet> !hal
[02:44] <icesword> jarrettgreen, hahah,or anyway you get a domain name
[02:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:44] <neonprophet> grr
[02:44] <neonprophet> !HAL
[02:44] <wols> Chewy: hardware abstraction layer
[02:44] <_Oz_> wols: so I should just create a dir like /media/whatever/ ?
[02:44] <jarrettgreen> Icesword i have bind9 installed
[02:45] <jarrettgreen> I have a domain through another host
[02:45] <Xacarith> Easy question.  How do you disable dragging windows using alt+left mouse button And disable ctrl+alt+d to show desktop
[02:45] <Chewy> umm no? i dont know tell you the truth
[02:45] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  where does your domain point?  does it point to the public IP of the machine?  or does it point to somewhere else?
[02:45] <wols>  <dpkg> hal is probably a Hardware Abstraction Layer from freedesktop.org, which gives desktop software a programmatic way to examine
[02:45] <wols>              the hardware present in a system and be notified of its changes.
[02:45] <jarrettgreen> and just wanted to resolve the subdomain 'dev' to it
[02:45] <Chewy> so i need it?
[02:45] <icesword> jarrettgreen, is it on line ,and did you try ping your localhost,that name
[02:45] <wols> Chewy: usually yes
[02:45] <neonprophet> so, no closet wine wizards in here?
[02:45] <wols> neonprophet: #winehq ?
[02:46] <Chewy> hmm, well i cant download it if the internet wont work...
[02:46] <Chewy> if the browser i mean
[02:46] <wols> Chewy: it comes with your ubunut install by default
[02:46] <wols> and your browser doesn't have anything to do with HAL usually
[02:46] <tristanmike> wols, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57781/
[02:46] <Chewy> then i do
[02:46] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - my main domain is hosted by another company. I can POINT dev.thatdomain.com to my IP, which is then routs port 80 t0 my box
[02:47] <jarrettgreen> but it ends up as the ugly IP in the browser
[02:47] <wols> Chewy: sudo ps aux|grp -i hal
[02:47] <jarrettgreen> rather than dev.
[02:47] <Chewy> wgat???
[02:47] <Chewy> type that into term?
[02:47] <Xacarith> Thought for sure some one would know those..
[02:47] <CrocoJet> hi for all
[02:48] <CrocoJet> someone knows if exist some software to generate a revocation certificate, and upload that to the keyserver ?
[02:48] <Gatton> !wine
[02:48] <ubotu> 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.
[02:48] <bombi> Anyone got Exp in unerasing files from a EXT2 Filesystem?
[02:48] <wols> tristanmike: pastbin your /var/log/dpkg.log
[02:48] <CrocoJet> (pgp)
[02:48] <wols> bombi: was it ext2 when you deleted the files?
[02:48] <techno_freak> CrocoJet, gnugpg?
[02:48] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  thats a weird one.  are you checking that address from where the dev box is?
[02:48] <genoobie> hey all...I need a little help
[02:48] <Chewy> so what do i do???
[02:49] <neonprophet> wow, I say "wine" and everyone ducks for cover ;p
[02:49] <_Oz_> thanks for the help wols, that worked
[02:49] <bombi> @ walls - jep didnt even change the FS yet
[02:49] <wols> neonprophet: I told you whre to go
[02:49] <Chewy> wols?
[02:49] <wols> your choice if you ignore it
[02:49] <genoobie> I just booted a linux live cd in an attempt to rescue a freebsd hdd
[02:49] <wols> Chewy: I asked you something
[02:49] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - checking what address? my public IP?
[02:49] <_Oz_> neonprophet: let's just say that with virtualbox out there, WINE's days are somewhat numbered
[02:49] <Chewy> repeat please
[02:49] <wols> Chewy:  /lastlog wols
[02:49] <bombi> Is there a tool to recover my deleted data?
[02:50] <tristanmike> wols, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57782/
[02:50] <wols> bombi: midnight commander has one
[02:50] <Chewy> no such command!
[02:50] <chetnick> hi i'm running ubuntu gutsy and i have some problems viewing some web pages. I tried opera and firefox, same problem. Can somebody use this navigation menu on the left side on this page http://tncc.edu/
[02:50] <Devourer> How do I make mv create the directory if it doesn't exist?
[02:50] <genoobie> I'm really kind of desperate here...
[02:50] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  are you accessing "dev.mydomain.com" from the same internet connection as the dev machine?
[02:50] <Chewy> i dont see your question
[02:50] <jarrettgreen> I was. I'm not at the office now though
[02:50] <jarrettgreen> I can try it from hom
[02:50] <jarrettgreen> give me a sec
[02:50] <chetnick> or use calendar on http://www.vayama.com
[02:50] <bombi> thx wols man I'll try that out
[02:51] <wols> tristanmike: uninstall (and purge!) libdvdcss2 and all other packages you installed on behest of that dccu entry
[02:51] <wols> tristanmike: then reboot and try your dvd drive with a data dvd again
[02:52] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme I'm pretty sure the problem though is when I choose "redirect" in my hosts control panel, and type in my IP, it's just going to simply forward the domain to that one.
[02:52] <tristanmike> wols, data dvd's work fine, it's the encrypted "store bought" movie dvd's that don't, just in case you missed that part.
[02:52] <Chewy> so what do i do naw
[02:52] <wols> tristanmike: then it'S defintely your facked libdvdcss2 I guess
[02:52] <wols> so rmeove it and all should be well
[02:52] <tristanmike> wols, LOL
[02:53] <wols> !*fscked
[02:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fscked - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:53] <wols> !dvd | tristanmike
[02:53] <ubotu> tristanmike: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:53] <Chewy> anyone?
[02:53] <wols> tristanmike: medibunut has a  prbuild libdvdcss2 for you
[02:53] <tristanmike> wols, yeah, I have all that info....not so much a noob this time around ;)
[02:53] <tristanmike> wols, good to know, never really dabbled in medibuntu
[02:53] <pawan> how to enable automatic updates
[02:54] <wols> Chewy: in a termina: lynx www.google.com
[02:54] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme still resoles to IP
[02:54] <Chewy> i can user internet, thats my issue...
[02:54] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Sorry, but I'm not finding anything specific.  :/  Floppy rescue distros seem common enough.  Let me look on freshmeat.
[02:54] <Chewy> so i cant google
[02:54] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme I can do a DNS transfer or a CNAME to my subdomain in my hosts panel
[02:54] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  so you're redirecting your whole domain to the router's address?
[02:54] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme
[02:54] <genoobie> okay...how do I start a simple ftp server...
[02:54] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme nope - I want to just redirect subdomain
[02:55] <pawan> have to check manullay to update
[02:55] <Chewy> so you cant help me?
[02:55] <bob> has anyone had luck getting vinagre to grab keyboard input?
[02:56] <bob> i can click all i want. just cannot type >_>
[02:56] <robdig> Chewy: hey, check /etc/firefox/firefoxrc, make sure that the option FIREFOX_DSP="none"
[02:56] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  so, do you have a CNAME pointing to dev.mydomain.com?
[02:56] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme I have nothing right now - except an http redirect. I don't know WHAT I should have to accomplish this - that's my question
[02:57] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  i got ya.  So, where does your mydomain.com point to?
[02:57] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme my host
[02:57] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme their nameservers I guess
[02:57] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: ok, but what page does it bring up, or where is that webserver?
[02:58] <danbhfive> jarrettgreen: can I get the actual address, maybe I can help too
[02:58] <Chewy> it Was set to none
[02:58] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme  yeppers - blinkmg.com brings up our page on THEIR servers -which is what we want
[02:58] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: what kind of hosting panel is it by the way?  or what DNS service do you use?
[02:58] <pipino> hi anyone here who uses WPA2?
[02:58] <pipino> wlan?
[02:58] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme I dunno I use 1and1.com for a host
[02:59] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  ok, let me check on 2 things, and i'll be right back
[02:59] <jarrettgreen> k
[02:59] <Elevator_Hazard> Who knows anything about how ubuntu running on external that I usually have plkugged into my desktop would work on my laptop? Its got different graphics card type like nVidia where this one has ATI, and other differences like that...
[02:59] <xeenan> I have a noob question for you guys. I have a creative X-Fi sound card and im have trouble getting sound. its recognized in the hardware menu but the volumn has an x thru it and i get the error box     ""No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.""  any help would be apreciated
[02:59] <d0s4gw> Is anyone aware of any tools for partitioning and formatting a newly added second hard disk?  In this case the drive is SATA.
[02:59] <Chewy> so what do i do>
[03:00] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  i just tried dev.blinkmg.com and it doesn't flip to an ip on me
[03:00] <Chewy> i checked the file and it is set to none
[03:00] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme oh yeah crap. we switched it back to their server
[03:00] <Chewy> so what do i do
[03:00] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme i'll change it back to the ip
[03:01] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  ok, let me know.  i'm checking out 1 on 1 right now
[03:02] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: I might have found something.

[03:03] <tehmass> Hey guys wuts a good FTP Client foR Linux
[03:03] <tinman> Chewy: ask the question
[03:03] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - ok it's up. But again, all I did was hit "http redirect" on that subdomain - so obvioulsy it'll show the IP, just as if I put google.com in there - I know this is not the right way to go about this. I need to choose either DNS or CNAME, but I don't know which
[03:04] <tinman> wols: http://pastebin.ca/922936

[03:04] <Chewy> well i run firefox and it loads for 2 seconds and then closes, i checked the error and it said "bus error" i went into firefoxrc and made sure it said "none" and it did
[03:04] <Chewy> so i dont know how to fix
[03:04] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: well, i'm still not showing a flip
[03:05] <jarrettgreen> What does your browser page say?
[03:05] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  have you directly accessed the ip from your browser?
[03:05] <jarrettgreen> before yes
[03:05] <wols> tinman: and no X when you ran startx?
[03:05] <Chewy> so?
[03:05] <wols> tinman: also: still vesa
[03:05] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: i'm just showing dev.blinkmg.com, or blinkmg.com
[03:05] <jarrettgreen> no I mean, what is displayed at the page?
[03:05] <tinman> wols: i tried vesa,  get a flickring screen (live tv without cable)
[03:06] <jarrettgreen> 'Ztest'
[03:06] <jarrettgreen> ?
[03:06] <Estesark> When I load some pages with flash, the flash loads and displays, but then immediately afterwards it goes completely white (for example www.jimmyeatworld.com) - rendering some pages unusable. Any advice?
[03:06] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  yep
[03:06] <blahblahx> anyone here know about yelp?
[03:06] <tinman> wols: i tried startx
[03:06] <Ashnal> Kuwanger:what did you find?
[03:06] <jarrettgreen> Yeah that's the 1and1 server
[03:06] <wols> tinman: a grey screen and a X with startx?
[03:06] <jarrettgreen> you need to reload or something
[03:06] <wols> Chewy: why didn't you do what I told you?
[03:06] <tinman> wols: vertical brownish lines
[03:06] <danbhfive> Estesark: are you using opera?
[03:06] <Estesark> Firefox
[03:06] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Here's two things to look at.  One, http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12  It seems to be a 3-way booting rescue system.  I've no idea how well it works.
[03:06] <wols> tinman: describe better please
[03:06] <nickrud> Chewy: try   mv  ~./mozilla mozilla-backup && sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox firefox-gnome-support . That will remove any personal settings (and saving a copy) and reinstall firefox
[03:07] <danbhfive> Estesark: well, that page works for me, you can try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[03:07] <nickrud> oh, wols you've been working with Chewy then
[03:07] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Second, there's this:  http://pxeknife.erebor.org/  And it seems to work with boot floppies.
[03:07] <Estesark> danbhfive: Thanks, I'll try that and let you know.
[03:07] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  ok there we go
[03:07] <tinman> wols: there are series of paraller verticle lines alternating to brownish and black so bworn black brown black like lines
[03:07] <tehmass> use nautilus u need to do the ftp:// cmd ya?
[03:07] <wols> tinman: LCD?
[03:07] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: your video would need resetting, but otherwise most stuff should just work
[03:08] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  i'm thinking you need to add a CNAME pointing dev.blinkmg.com to that ip
[03:08] <steph_> Hi everybody. I just bought a linksys router wrt54G (wireless). I can't connect with my laptop. I don't know what to do exactly. Can someone help me?
[03:08] <Estesark> danbhfive: No, same thing still happening
[03:08] <killerbeesateme> and turn the redirect off
[03:08] <tinman> wols: samsung CRT 15 "
[03:08] <jarrettgreen> FROM 1and1?
[03:08] <wols> tinman: ut X didn't crash back to console or did it?
[03:08] <dvarg388> steph_, I assume you're using it wired now?
[03:08] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: Heh ok I get kind of worried when messing with stuff that isn't mine... Well its my dad's laptop
[03:08] <tinman> wols: when i hit enter it goes back to concle
[03:08] <wols> tinman: and with the livecd it all osrta works?
[03:08] <pawan> have to check manullay to update
[03:08] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  well is your domain actually hosted by CNAME too?  or is by another company like godaddy or networksolutions?
[03:08] <wols> tinman: but not before?
[03:08] <tinman> wols, works perfectly
[03:08] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: You helped me wiht some vid problems I had :D
[03:09] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: Here's an example for a rescue floppy:  http://freshmeat.net/projects/tomsrtbt/
[03:09] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: heh. Must have been a simple one
[03:09] <wols> tinman: it'S your xorg.conf then
[03:09] <tinman> wols, not before i press enter, no
[03:09] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - no 1and1 has it, and it's on their name servers
[03:09] <steph_> dvarg388: :) No I'm using another computer (wired)
[03:09] <xenthro> question: is there a windows device manager equivalent in *nix? I want to see a list of hardware and which drivers are attached to it.
[03:09] <wols> tinman: so X "sorta" works with startx
[03:09] <tinman> wols: can i copy xorg.conf from live cd and some how paste on my root partition
[03:09] <d0s4gw> btw, the answer to my question is GParted.
[03:09] <Kuwanger> Ashnal: I have to go, but I'll hopefully be back later.  In any case, you can look for more help by searching for pxelinux.
[03:09] <wols> purge gdm and reinstall it
[03:09] <tinman> wols, it starts, kinda
[03:09] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: also I had problems with my usb audio you said you couldn't help me with. Figured it out, set frequency to something else and the sound is wonderful
[03:09] <tinman> hmm, okey
[03:09] <wols> tinman: you can try. nothing you can break :)
[03:09] <blahblahx> in yelp how do i change what the help is? like what if i want to change what it looks like when it starts up?
[03:09] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: is there anywhere on the control panel you can add CNAMES too?
[03:09] <wols> tinman: how "kinda"? :)
[03:09] <philphoto> new problem to tackle. if i hotswap or install a device into my IBM T30 then reboot, I lose wifi.  network manager returns no wireless devices detected.
[03:10] <wols> ah, startx, yes
[03:10] <philphoto> any ideas?
[03:10] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: like from 44100 or so to some 48000 thing?
[03:10] <dvarg388> steph_, Have you enabled the wireless and set an SSID?
[03:10] <jarrettgreen> yes
[03:10] <jarrettgreen> under specific domains and subdomains
[03:10] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: actually the opposite
[03:10] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  ok
[03:10] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: ah. Well, I'll remember that one
[03:10] <Devourer> How do I extract a .zip file in the terminal?
[03:10] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  so when you add a cname, is there  a spot for a subdomain or hostname and an ip address?
[03:10] <tinman> wols: when i do startx, the screen becomes black for a second, then i get the aformentioned paraller lines, total of about 10-15 lines maybe
[03:10] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: actually I kinda lied, I might remember that one ;)
[03:11] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - i dunno it just asks for an 'alias'
[03:11] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: heh, yea. It was a Logitech USB Headset 250
[03:11] <steph_> dvarg388: Yep. And I have a MAC osX who work without problems. So I assume the router is ok. But in Ubuntu 7.1, something is missing. Is there a way to see if my laptop can see the network (even if not working )?
[03:11] <nickrud> Devourer: install  unzip
[03:11] <wols> tinman: what does ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager say?
[03:12] <szx0> Can anyone link me to some good resources for setting up hardware RAID 1?
[03:12] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: now I remember. Might get one of those, now that I know they work
[03:12] <wols> steph_: iwconfig if it's wireless
[03:12] <wols> szx0: depends a bit on the driver iirc
[03:12] <wols> szx0: what'S your raid card?
[03:12] <tinman> wols: r
[03:12] <tinman> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-01-31 23:33 etc/alternatives/x-window-manager -> /usr/bin/metacity
[03:12] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesatme - ok I read the faq and I think that's where I put the other domain, under alias.
[03:12] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  in that spot, enter dev
[03:12] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: They actually are a little bit fragile, I had another pair and the ear peice thing started to come loose. In the end a wire broke in between those and they stopped working.
[03:12] <billy> can some one help me with freaking bcm43xx.. i can't believe how messed up this stuff is.. i can't get it to connect.. ive installed bcm43xx cutter, tried ndiswrapper.. nothing worked
[03:12] <szx0> wols: it's built into my MB... Tyan Tomcat K8E S2865
[03:13] <Elevator_Hazard> nickrud: I had a year warranty though.
[03:13] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  does it prompt for an IP address anywhere?
[03:13] <nickrud> Elevator_Hazard: good
[03:13] <tinman> wols: i an running the ls in th mounted root partition and not in liveCD's /etc bt
[03:13] <tinman> btw*
[03:13] <C3PO> hi
[03:13] <wols> tinman: update-rc.d x-window-manager and try some other one. or maybe apt-get install fluxbox and checkt he x-window-manager link again
[03:13] <wols> tinman: good thinking :)
[03:13] <nickrud> billy: what chip number
[03:13] <steph_> dvarg388: It gives me information about eth1. But is it the information I wrote/configure or it is a kind of "reply" from the router?
[03:13] <wols> tinman: go and install irssi on the ubuntu install thn you don't constantly need to reboot and can be in here
[03:14] <wols> szx0: doesn't say what chip it is
[03:14] <chris0> C3PO: *tweet clack clack whirrrrr*
[03:14] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - no specifically, and when i put in the ip it says the top level domain I entered isn't valid
[03:14] <wols> szx0: but to be fair, I dunno much about hw raid either
[03:14] <tinman> wols: screen through shell
[03:14] <bahadunn> hi I am using the flashplugin-nonfree on amd64 with nspluginwrapper and I cannot play flash in firefox
[03:14] <bahadunn> any ideas?
[03:14] <wols> tinman: what irc client are you running right now?
[03:14] <tinman> irssi
[03:15] <tinman> ssh'ing into a shell then screening into irssi
[03:15] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: so you put in the CNAME alias, as dev, or dev.blinkmg.com and then it never asks for an IP address?
[03:15] <danbhfive> bahadunn: i dont think flash works on 64 bit
[03:15] <bahadunn> danbhfive: it is suppose to with nspluginwrapper
[03:15] <eccentricity> hey guys, I've never been able to get my mic working on ubuntu. Off the top of anybody's head, besides things being muted or not plugged in, is there any reason this might happen?
[03:15] <philphoto> problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30.  wifi devices are not detected after reboot.  second reboot fixes problem.  ideas?
[03:15] <wols> danbhfive: with nspluginwrapper it sorta does
[03:15] <wols> but tricky to setup usually
[03:16] <tristanmike> wols, just to let you know, I've fixed it... just changed the type of the "dvd" to auto in fstab...
[03:16] <bahadunn> wols: is there any alternative?
[03:16] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme http://faq.1and1.com/domains/dns_settings/13.html
[03:16] <jscinoz> is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)?
[03:16] <jarrettgreen> see if you can get to that
[03:16] <amenado> genbuntu-> if you go to init level 1 ?
[03:16] <wols> bahadunn: mre info would help. e.g. maybe start ffox from a xterm and check the ouput
[03:16] <szx0> wols: The MB chipset is "nVIDIA nForce4 Ultra" with "NVRAID"... hmm ill dig some more
[03:16] <bahadunn> wols: besides gnash which has never worked for me
[03:16] <wols> bahadunn: could be flash doesn't get /dev/dsp and gets cranky
[03:16] <wols> szx0: that is NO hardware raid.
[03:16] <Wabbity> this may sound stupid, but does anyone know how to find the Linksys WUSB54G 64bit driver?
[03:16] <wols> szx0: don't use it
[03:17] <billy> nickrud: sorry got disconnected
[03:17] <bahadunn> wols: all I did was install flashplugin-nonfree and then run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplugin.so
[03:17] <wols> Wabbity: what chipset does it use?
[03:17] <Xupiter> would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to build an .iso.
[03:17] <billy> nickrud: any ways, its bcm4311
[03:17] <Gibb> Problem: My monitor cant display the mode upon boot and shutdown that has the graphical display with the orange bar. Is there a conf file to change the resolution it goes to?
[03:17] <wols> bahadunn: that's not what I talked about
[03:17] <cdsboy> Any wiz's at ati drivers around?
[03:17] <Wabbity> its v1...
[03:17] <szx0> wols: oh... hmm... why do you say that?
[03:17] <wols> Xupiter: use k3b or mkisofs for the commandline
[03:18] <nickrud> billy: same as mine, so I at leat know this one
[03:18] <bahadunn> wols: I realize that but you asked for more info so I am providing it
[03:18] <Xupiter> ok, thank you very much!!
[03:18] <billy> nickrud: fo sho
[03:18] <wols> szx0: bacuse it isn't. not chipset based raid is ever hardware raid. adapter, 3ware they make some (not all) hardware raid cards. tyan puts sometimes their chips on the mobo: hw raid too. but chipset raid is NEVER EVER hardware raid
[03:18] <billy> nickrud: ive tried everything
[03:18] <wols> !fakeraid
[03:18] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[03:18] <ubu2> I have a weird issue with Adobe Flash freezing and looping during video or animation even after it has buffered. It just stops moving and the sound stutters for a few seconds, then it resumes a few seconds later (causing you to miss those few seconds of video). It seems to be completely random when it happens.
[03:18] <nickrud> billy: I'm reviewing some stuff, a sec
[03:19] <wols> billy: poor you
[03:19] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  so, when you get into that screen, what does it say under the Domain name spot, the first field?
[03:19] <philphoto> gibb: you need to change the image size in /etc/usplash.conf
[03:19] <pawan> have to check manullay to update
[03:19] <billy> wols: you have no idea
[03:19] <wols> nickrud: ever tried a .24 kernel?
[03:19] <Gibb> philphoto, thx
[03:19] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - could you read the faq?
[03:19] <nickrud> wols: mine works just fine with th3 .22
[03:19] <bahadunn> I got it working
[03:19] <bahadunn> thanks anyways
[03:19] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  yea i was able to get into it
[03:19] <Wabbity> wols: It's WUSB54Gv1 I remember reading somewhere that it isn't the same chipset as the v4.
[03:19] <philphoto> gibb: that could be one culprit
[03:19] <Gibb> philphoto, is it an image that takes up the whole resolution? what causes it to go that that mode?
[03:19] <upsilonphiomega> hello !
[03:19] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - ok well check this out I think this is what I need? http://faq.1and1.com/domains/dns_settings/12.html
[03:19] <wols> Wabbity: find out which one it is
[03:19] <jarrettgreen> an A-Name?
[03:19] <billy> nickrud: i might get disconnected for a minute here, ill tell you when i get back
[03:20] <Elevator_Hazard> Off the top of anyone's head - can you use a remote admin tool on windows to remote admin / use remote desktop in linux?
[03:20] <szx0> wols: so, it would not be acceptable to use the chipset based raid just for mirroring a Hard Disk to another?
[03:20] <cdsboy> Anyone have some ideas on how to get decent performance with newer flgrx drivers? I need to use one of the catalyst 7.12 drivers or up, because of suspend issues. Except i am getting horrible performance compaired to the flgrx drives that come with ubuntu
[03:20] <wols> bahadunn: how?
[03:20] <danbhfive> jarrettgreen: i think you want the a-name
[03:20] <jarrettgreen> err a record
[03:20] <wols> szx0: no. use linux software raid
[03:20] <philphoto> gibb: it should be set to the default screen res that you have associated with your graphics card
[03:20] <wols> szx0: no problem with raid1 anyways: no computation
[03:20] <danbhfive> jarrettgreen: if you can use an ip address to access your website, then just use an a record
[03:20] <szx0> wols: gotcha! ill read on that, thanks
[03:21] <Gibb> philphoto, uh oh. hmm. The screen after grub right? thats the one im talking about. I wonder what its deal is? ill mess with the conf. thx
[03:21] <jarrettgreen> bandhfive - I'm guessing this works on subdomains too - I'm just trying to point a dev subdomain to my dapper hox so I can work on Ruby on Rails apps and other things our hos doesn't provide
[03:21] <wols> cdsboy: ask ati.com: their software. we can only support ubuntu drivers
[03:21] <philphoto> gibb: it's just a splash script.  what are you wondering about it?
[03:22] <nickrud> billy: try running   sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[03:22] <cdsboy> wols: i was just hoping there was a graphics wiz laying around
[03:22] <billy> nickrud: theres no internet connection on my ubutu comp at all
[03:22] <danbhfive> jarrettgreen: yeah, i think it will work.  It looks like 1and1 is handling dns for you, so you don't have to worry that it is a subdomain
[03:22] <billy> nickrud: im on a windows comp in here..
[03:22] <ubu2> Flash freezes up, hiccups, or whatever you want to call it with different video cards and drivers. I tried even different versions of Firefox. it's driving me insane
[03:23] <wols> danbhfive: how can it work if he isn't the auth domainserver for his domain?
[03:23] <Wabbity> wols: prisim chipset
[03:23] <nickrud> billy: bummer. A sec again
[03:23] <jarrettgreen> danbhfive - awesome! Dooes this take long to propogate? Does it even need to propogate?
[03:23] <billy> nickrud:k
[03:23] <jarrettgreen> err propagate
[03:23] <wols> Wabbity: prism should be supported out of the box
[03:23] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen: about 24 hours, i think
[03:24] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  but i've never seen it take that long
[03:24] <openback> hi, I was going through the 'Synce on Ubuntu' instructions, and was finally succesful at getting a connection to my pda, but then I noticed that my internet connection wasn't working I had to uninstall ppp to get it to work again. Does anyone know of a workaround?
[03:24] <jarrettgreen> danbhfive killerbeesate me thanks guys. I'll see if it takes.
[03:24] <danbhfive> wols: I'm not totally sure of the question, which may stem from my ignorance on dns, from the link given, it looks like 1and1 takes care of it
[03:25] <jarrettgreen> This has been the last step to what was a very enjoyable first time experience setting up a linux box.
[03:25] <danbhfive> wols: *but from
[03:25] <killerbeesateme> jarrettgreen:  no problem.  i apologize mixing up A record and CNAME.
[03:25] <nickrud> billy: ok, it's a really short script. go get http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
[03:25] <wols> if it does, their server is the only one where he can set his subdomains
[03:25] <Wabbity> wols: under the hardware manager I get unknown in the usb slot
[03:25] <jarrettgreen> killerbeesateme - no prob man, you got me there somehow...
[03:25] <wols> Wabbity: lsusb
[03:25] <billy> nickrud: i did thatone already.. used to work not anymore
[03:25] <nickrud> billy: used to not work?
[03:26] <nickrud> billy: doh, mis read
[03:26] <billy> nickrud: i had it working, but then it stopped and i totally reinstaled ubuntu
[03:26] <Scunizi> Occationally when printing from my networked lasar printer, the printing process will hang consuming a huge amount of the processor.  Top says it's user "lp" with a GS command. printing hung with an email I wanted to print.  Any ideas why this would happen?
[03:26] <billy> and now i can't get t to work at all
[03:26] <nickrud> billy: if it worked once, it'll work again.
[03:26] <eccentricity> hey guys, I've never been able to get my mic working on ubuntu. Off the top of anybody's head, besides things being muted or not plugged in, is there any reason this might happen?
[03:26] <billy> nickrud: i tried it again after the install.. its not working at all
[03:27] <wols> jamesrdorn: in that 1and1 dns webpage, can you set your home IP as the IP for the subdomain?
[03:27] <eternalswd> anyone have a recommendation for a usb bluetooth dongle.  Apparently the one that comes with Microsoft Desktop Entertainment 7000 isn't fully supported, so I'll need to get one.
[03:27] <billy> nickrud: thats the first thing i tried after the install
[03:27] <Jordan_U> eccentricity, Drivers not being available
[03:27] <nickrud> billy: lsmod | grep bcm43xx , is it there?
[03:27] <d0s4gw> Anyone feel like helping me with some FStab stuff?

[03:28] <ubotu> fevel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:28] <nickrud> billy: with a couple of ieee80212 things?
[03:28] <d0s4gw> I tried something but it is only showing up as 94 GB
[03:28] <Scunizi> !fstab | d0s4gw

[03:29] <Estesark> I'm having problems with synaptic... I tried to install ubuntu-restricted, then synaptic froze when it was unpackaging msttcorefonts and quit. When I next launched it, it told me to run dpkg -a, which I did, but now one of the files to download, trebuc32.exe, won't complete. It's stuck at 68%. What should I do?
[03:29] <josh13> hello
[03:29] <Jordan_U> nickrud, More specific than bcm43xx I mean
[03:29] <billy> jordanu: bcm4311

[03:29] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone?
[03:29] <wols> nickrud: did you ever try a .24 kernel with your wlan?
[03:29] <nickrud> Jordan_U you know wireless much better, if you would take that?
[03:29] <nickrud> wols: no. Never needed to
[03:30] <Chewy> so can i get some help now
[03:30] <fevel> I was wondering thexperiences people had with touch and ubuntu
[03:30] <wols> Sinnerman: how do you know it's not permission?
[03:30] <wols> cheeby: ping google.com
[03:30] <Jordan_U> nickrud, Sure, I probably know less than you think though :)
[03:30] <ionstorm> can some admin ban the spammers at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/search?ordering=new
[03:30] <ionstorm> they are screwing up the site
[03:30] <josh13> I have a basic question. Is it possible to tell /etc/fstab to mount a certain disk under /var/foo directory, with my_user & my_group as uid/gid ?
[03:30] <wols> nickrud: you use the (old) bcm43xx drivers then?
[03:30] <Sinnerman> wols eh?
[03:30] <fevel> i had pretty bad ones syncing
[03:30] <nickrud> wols: yes

[03:31] <cheeby> hi.  when I try to connect to my treo via bluetooth, the bluetooth applet crashes.  Is there something else I shold be using?

[03:32] <amicrawler> how do i get a new xorg
[03:33] <Jordan_U> amicrawler, xorg.conf or a new version of X.org the program?
[03:33] <eccentricity> Ok, I need some help getting a microphone working. Usually my mic Just Works. What, besides muting and not being plugged in, could be wrong?
[03:33] <amicrawler> well i got kde4
[03:33] <amicrawler> and the res is not right
[03:33] <wols> nickrud: old acx can't use it. the new new803211 can
[03:33] <chris0> amicrawler: is it 800x600?
[03:33] <amicrawler> xorg.conf
[03:33] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | amicrawler
[03:33] <ubotu> amicrawler: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes
[03:33] <amicrawler> nope
[03:33] <wols> !kde4 | amicrawler
[03:33] <ubotu> amicrawler: KDE 4.0.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[03:34] <wols> amicrawler: we do not support kde4 here
[03:34] <Jordan_U> amicrawler, But if it only happens in KDE4 it is probably not an xorg.conf problem
[03:34] <eccentricity> nobody has an idea?
[03:34] <yaro> Hello all. Here to help others again. n.n
[03:34] <amicrawler> yep it only happends in kde 4
[03:34] <amicrawler> not 3
[03:34] <openback> hi, I was going through the 'Synce on Ubuntu' instructions, and was finally succesful at getting a connection to my pda, but then I noticed that my internet connection wasn't working I had to uninstall ppp to get it to work again. Does anyone know of a workaround?
[03:34] <nickrud> wols: to be honest, not even sure what you're talking about :) I just chose wpa2, plugged in the number on the bottom of the wifi box, and it Works for Me™
[03:34] <spaghetti_knife> Which protocal does apt-get use? HTTP? FTP?
[03:35] <eccentricity> Ok yaro, take a shot, I need some help getting a microphone working. Usually my mic Just Works. What, besides muting and not being plugged in, could be wrong?
[03:35] <chris0> eccentricity: if it's not muting or not plugged in, all I can think of is that your sound card (or mic) has issues
[03:35] <wols> nickrud: not all drivers support WPA
[03:35] <wols> like my current one :(
[03:35] <eccentricity> tried multiple mics
[03:35] <Wabbity> wols: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1915:2234  rest are 0000:0000
[03:35] <chris0> eccentricity: what card is it?
[03:35] <yaro> eccentricity: Have you tested from System -> Preferences -> Sounds?
[03:35] <AgentHeX> how can i check to see if a USB wireless mouse I have is dead (like the receiver is messed up)?
[03:35] <eccentricity> sound card thing brings me to an interesting question
[03:35] <billy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57783/
[03:36] <Jordan_U> billy, can you add the output of "ls /lib/firmware" to that?
[03:36] <eccentricity> in GNOME? What's the command for that ap?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> billy, :)
[03:36] <billy> its all the way at the end
[03:36] <billy> jordan_U
[03:36] <chris0> eccentricity: it's in the GNOME panel
[03:36] <nickrud> wols: I've been incredibly lucky with my hardware over the years. The only thing that didn't just work was a sound card way back when. I bought a driver from oss.
[03:36] <eccentricity> I don't use GNOME
[03:36] <billy> =)
[03:36] <chris0> ah
[03:36] <praetor> eccentricity: have you tried alsamixer?
[03:36] <praetor> to see if the mic is muted?
[03:36] <Wrec> anyone know how to make my address bar use google's "I'm feeling lucky" again?
[03:37] <eccentricity> this thing has an onboard soundcard I'm not using. Where are the modules for that, I need to delete them
[03:37] <eccentricity> and yeah, I'm using alsamixer now
[03:37] <praetor> have you tried alsamixer /dev/dsp1?
[03:37] <chris0> eccentricity: if you know what modules they are, you can modprobe -r them and then remove them from /etc/modules
[03:38] <CrimsonDork> Anyone knows how to set surround sound with SigmaTel again? Or maybe without SigmaTel but any way to restore the surround sound again?
[03:38] <eccentricity> I could probably isolate which they are. Thanks, chris0
[03:38] <chris0> eccentricity: no prob.
[03:38]  * eccentricity tries alsamiser /dev/dsp1
[03:38] <typomand> I love ubuntu, thought i would blurt that out
[03:39] <yaro> Wrec: I'm not sure if that is an Ubuntu support question.
[03:39] <praetor> eccentricity: i have tweo cards on mine as well and I have to set them seperately like that as well
[03:39] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone?
[03:39] <Jordan_U> billy, how did you get the firmware?
[03:40] <billy> sneakernet
[03:40] <billy> brb
[03:40] <eccentricity> doesn't seem to be happening.
[03:40] <praetor> :(
[03:40] <billy> brb
[03:40] <praetor> eccentricity: i was hoping that would work. sorry it didnt
[03:40] <billy> brb guys..
[03:40] <AgentHeX> CrimsonDork: are you using linux-restricted-modules-generic?
[03:40] <Estesark> I had a problem installing msttcorefonts. Now, every time I try to remove it, for some reason it goes through the configuration process - connecting to kent.sourceforge.net and downloading all the font files. However, every time it does this, it freezes. What can I do?
[03:41] <deadowl> Anyone know if there is any kind of desktop use thing for espeak?
[03:41] <chris0> deadowl: how do you mean?
[03:41] <jscinoz> is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)?
[03:41] <deadowl> And no, I don't mean Orca, I just want to get my computer to read things out loud so i don't have to
[03:41] <yaro> Estesark: How specifically are you trying to remive the fonts?
[03:41] <chris0> deadowl: I see
[03:41] <tero-> I have a problem with the wireless connection working when I start Blackbox windowing manager. When I start gnome, it works fine. Any clues?
[03:42] <CrimsonDork> AgentHex: Good question. I don't think so, but I can check. *kinda noob here*
[03:42] <Estesark> yaro: I've tried two ways - through synaptic (which just freezes) and through dpkg --remove -a
[03:42] <xtknight> tero-, network manager maybe.  it's a gnome and kde thing
[03:43] <AgentHeX> CrimsonDork: just search synaptic for that string.
[03:43] <Jordan_U> billy, There are more firmware files, one of which is probably the one you need for your card, you can get them by installing the "bcm43xx-fwcutter" package, or I can give you a link to a zip file with all of them
[03:43] <tero-> xtknight: aha, it's network-admin?
[03:43] <chris0> deadowl: not sure. I guess not surprisingly, gedit | espeak doesn't work...
[03:43] <killerbeesateme> Estesark: have you tried --force?
[03:43] <yaro> Estesark: Have you tried sudo apt-get remove --purge msttcorefonts
[03:43] <philphoto> problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30.  wifi devices are not detected after reboot.  second reboot fixes problem.  any ideas?
[03:43] <Estesark> yaro: Yes, killerbeesateme: No.
[03:43] <xtknight> tero-, hmm nope network-manager
[03:43] <xtknight> tero-, "nm-applet" is the applet for it.  but network-manager is a library kinda..
[03:44] <yaro> Estesark: Go ahead and try killerbeesateme's thing.
[03:44] <tero-> xtknight: thanks. I'll have a look
[03:44] <xtknight> tero-, basically network-manager in some cases can compete with ifconfig/ifup and mess things up
[03:44] <Estesark> I get "dpkg: --force option takes a value"
[03:44] <xtknight> tero-, nm-applet is the network icon in the system tray.  use that always to configure network in gnome/kde
[03:44] <jastiv> why doesn't ubuntu have a program that converts to ogg?
[03:44] <prashant> gnomeradio not work
[03:44] <deadowl> chris0, it would be interesting if I could program a key binding that would send highlighted text to espeak in the same sense it is sent to a clipboard with cut/copy commands
[03:44] <CrimsonDork> AgentHex: Lemme try running it.
[03:44] <xTheGoat121x> I am having a lot of issues, but they've only developed recently.
[03:45] <Jordan_U> jastiv, Because it does? Or do you mean installed by default?
[03:45] <CrimsonDork> AgentHex: I have it already.
[03:45] <chris0> deadowl: that sounds like it may be a bash project...
[03:45] <prashant> i am nt able to select d line
[03:45] <AgentHeX> CrimsonDork: ok...  hmmm...  iono then.  i'm a bit of a n00b, though i've been using ubuntu for a couple months straight.
[03:45] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: Could you be more specific?
[03:45] <jastiv> audacity doesn't seem to have that ability even though the old version did.
[03:45] <CrimsonDork> AgentHex: Heh, thanks. I'll keep digging.
[03:46] <wers> how do I install the multisync syncml plugin in gutsy? there's no gutsy package. The latest one is the edgy package which doesn't work in gusty
[03:46] <iceman_> anybody know how to get zeroconf working....and know of any windows like skin/themes that i can use. or MAC like skins/themes that i can use?
[03:46] <TheEagle02> Can anyone help with the driver install for a Belkin F5D7000 Wireless network card?
[03:46] <Ububegin> lets say i issue this command... **find . -name "jsf-api.jar"** but i want the size of each file to be also stated in the list.. how do i modify it
[03:46] <Estesark> yaro: It's bizarre - I seem to have to configure the package before I can get rid of it
[03:46] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, (1) every time I start the laptop, most of the stuff on the panels freezes... when I restart them, nm-applet never comes back
[03:47] <Jordan_U> iceman_, There are many of both kinds of themes, but I personally think *NIX looks better when it's not trying to be something it's not :)
[03:47] <killerbeesateme> Estesark:  i had the exact same problem about 6 months ago, and for the life of me, i can't remember what i did
[03:47] <AtomicSpark> amazing. my computer fails to boot if i install with the alt cd.
[03:47] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, (2) I have system sounds, pidgin sounds, but no sounds in games or audacious.
[03:47] <chris0> Ububegin: cd / && ls -R | grep jsf-api.jar
[03:47] <Estesark> Hmm...
[03:47] <killerbeesateme> Estesark:  bear with me here, i'm trying to recreate my google steps
[03:47] <chris0> Ububegin: it'll take a whike tho....
[03:47] <tero-> xtknight: hmm. nm-applet does not seem to work in Blackbox. is there another interface?
[03:48] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, (3) and ntos_wq seems to be eating approx. 3-5% of my CPU...
[03:48] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: I just tried sudo dpkg --purge -a, and it downloaded all the files succesfully
[03:48] <xtknight> tero-, knetwork-manager maybe or something...i think there's a kde one
[03:48] <billy> Jordan_U: what is the link for all the firmware files?
[03:48] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: Perhaps there was a network problem
[03:48] <chris0> Ububegin: if you know that it's in your home directory, just say cd && ls -R etc. Etc. Etc.
[03:48] <iceman_> Jordan_u, while i have to agree with u. i need it for ease of function and so i can get the other people in my house to use it by tricking them into thinking its still windows.
[03:48] <deadowl> chris0, is it possible to create a key binding that takes some sort of buffer through GNOME?
[03:48] <billy> jordan: and how do i install them with bcmfwcutter?
[03:48] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: (1) You'll probably have to delete your .gconf and .gconf2 folders and go back to a default GNOME configuration. I'm sure there are other ways, but they're difficult at best.
[03:48] <xtknight> tero-, either way im not sure how your supposed to configure it under blackbox
[03:48] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: So now I'm going to try removing it again
[03:48] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: (2) Are you using anything like, say, Pulse Audio?
[03:48] <subsume> What would be the best way to use CRON to send an email (from a postgres database) every day? have bash script dump mysql result into a text file, then read it...then....or....?
[03:48] <killerbeesateme> Estesark: i think i got it
[03:49] <ubu2> am I the only person with terrible skipping in Flash?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> iceman_, I don't recommend tricking people either, especially if it's not your computer
[03:49] <chris0> deadowl: I've been thinking about it. You'd need to copy/paste text to a temporary file, less it and then pipe it to espeak. I'm not sure how you'd do the copy/paste part tho....
[03:49] <killerbeesateme> Estersark:  i went thru with this with network manager, and what i did, was go into synaptic
[03:49] <Jordan_U> billy, I will make it in just a second :)
[03:49] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, (1) OK, I'll do what i can regarding that.  (2)  No, I use ALSA.  And it worked until just yesterday.
[03:49] <haymaker> i deleted my user account, i am using a backup account, how can i create a new account with the same name as the first?  when I try it does nothing
[03:50] <Ububegin> chris0: i think u misunderstood me... I issue a find command now...and it returns the location of the files.. But I want the sizes of the files as well as the location
[03:50] <billy> kk
[03:50] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: (3) I don't know what that is. D:
[03:50] <killerbeesateme> Estersark: then clicked the status button, and went into Not-Installed, residual package configuration
[03:50] <philphoto> problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30.  wifi devices are not detected after reboot.  second reboot fixes problem.  ideas?
[03:50] <chris0> deadowl: the 1337 hax pwnag3 way to do it is to say espeak in gnome-terminal and then Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Shift-V it into the terminal
[03:50] <gorg> persian
[03:50] <xtknight> tero-, ifup eth0 doesnt work in blackbox?
[03:50] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, yeah, most I've talked to have no idea.
[03:50] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone?
[03:50] <xTheGoat121x> and it's not on the forums.
[03:50] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: (2) Do you have a lot of things configured to use ESD or OSS?
[03:51] <iceman_> normally i wouldn't either, jordan_u but considering all our other pc's with xp and/or mac broke down i have to get them to use this. people are scared of linux because everythingisn't handed to them in one easy package like macs/ or windows apps are
[03:51] <killerbeesateme> Estersark: and then find the package, and then mark it for complete removal
[03:51] <xtknight> tero-, if networkmanager is not running on blackbox (it isnt) then ifup should interfere
[03:51] <xtknight> should not *
[03:51] <deadowl> chris0, yea, it would essentially be a script that runs espeak < src
[03:51] <Ububegin> chris0: u have any idea :?
[03:51] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, not a thing, actually.
[03:51] <gorg> iran
[03:51] <gorg> persian talking
[03:51] <iceman_> because of that people are like no. linux sucks when in fact it doesnt
[03:51] <chris0> Ububegin: oh my bad it would need to be ls -aRh. that would ls recursively and then display your jar file
[03:51] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: So they're all calling ALSA... or should be.
[03:51] <a2121e> !compiz
[03:51] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[03:51] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: It's not in that list, because like I said, last time I tried to --purge it, it succesfully configured
[03:51] <j__> Is there google talk > in 8.04 or 7.10??/
[03:51] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: But now I can't remove or purge it - turns out that --purge actually just configured it
[03:52] <gorg> iran
[03:52] <yaro> j__: Pidgin does Google Talk.
[03:52] <Ububegin> I issue a find command now...and it returns the location of the files.. But I want the sizes of the files as well as the location
[03:52] <gorg> iran
[03:52] <gorg> iran
[03:52] <Enigma0> j__, you can use pidgin
[03:52] <tero-> xtknight: I tried it but it says ignoring unknown interface eth1
[03:52] <chris0> Ububegin: so I'd do a cd && ls -aRh (add an l in there if you want) | grep name.of.jar.file.jar
[03:52] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, yup.  If I start, say, Audacious from terminal, I get a message about the device not being available.
[03:52] <j__> yaro can i talk / speak  with a speaker?
[03:52] <j__> yaro mic ?
[03:52] <tero-> xtknight: I guess I should add a line to /etc/network/interfaces
[03:52] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: Sounds like something is using ALSA that shouldn't be.
[03:53] <tero-> xtknight: it's not going to break anything, right?
[03:53] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: Take a look at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1949f532
[03:53] <Ububegin> chris0: i dunt wanna seach inside the jar files... lets say its just a text file then..
[03:53] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, ugh.  That's what I was hoping you wouldn't say.
[03:53] <m1chael> are there any mobile devices that you can install ubuntu on? like a palm
[03:53] <Jordan_U> billy, Grrr, the file size limit was changed on google pages
[03:54] <xtknight> tero-, hmm i dont think so
[03:54] <billy> crap..
[03:54] <billy> what can i do
[03:54] <yaro> j__: I think so.
[03:54] <chris0> Ububegin: gimme a sec...I'm looking....I thought -r did a recursive search. I'll get back to you in a sec.
[03:54] <j__> yaro how i set it up
[03:54] <Jordan_U> billy, Do you have another computer?
[03:54] <jscinoz> is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)?
[03:54] <xtknight> tero-, gonna put static ip config in there or something?
[03:54] <billy> this is another computer
[03:54] <killerbeesateme> Estesark: Did you try the steps from above?
[03:54] <deadowl> chris0, yea, X apparently runs the selection buffer, i think
[03:54] <yaro> xTheGoat121x: Try to find what else uses ALSA on your system and kill it before using the "offending" applications.
[03:55] <Jordan_U> billy, Actually, there is another way...
[03:55] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: It wasn't in that list, because it succesfully configured in the end
[03:55] <xTheGoat121x> yaro, I will do what I can.
[03:55] <billy> how?
[03:55] <Estesark> killerbeesateme:  I just can't uninstall it now
[03:55] <FastZ> anyone know of a good open source CAD program for linux?
[03:55] <yaro> j__: Not sure. Refer to the documentation, if there are voice features, chances are they are mentioned thete.
[03:55] <Jordan_U> billy, Go into restricted manager, it should give you a URL to download a file from which the firmware can be extracted
[03:55] <tero-> xtknight: maybe just a definition of the interface, that it exists
[03:55] <killerbeesateme> Estesark: so where is it freezing up again?  sorry i cleared my scroll log
[03:56] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: It's not freezing any more, it just won't uninstall
[03:56] <chris0> deadowl: yeah, that's a little beyond my programming ability.....
[03:56] <Estesark> It's exiting with an error

[03:57] <chris0> Ububegin: 1?10?100?1000? etc
[03:57] <xtknight> tero-, sure it's called eth1 ?
[03:57] <billy> Jordan: restricted manager doesn't give a url

[03:59] <cjones> i got an online game to work under ubuntu with xp running in vbox whora
[03:59] <killerbeesateme> Estesark:  nice
[03:59] <Estesark> killerbeesateme: Yeah. That'll teach me to flirt with Microsoft.
[04:00] <chris0> Ububegin: here's what I'd use: ls -Rlh | grep -B 20 <part of filename>. if it doesn't show the full path, change 20 to some bigger number. That should show you both the filename, the size, and the path to the file

[04:01] <xTheGoat121x> tritium, interesting
[04:01] <billy> Jordan_U: what should i do?
[04:02] <chris0> for a sec I thought that something serious happened!
[04:02] <Jordan_U> billy, Is the 'other' computer running Ubuntu, or can it get to the internet from the liveCD?
[04:03] <billy> the other is running ubuntu this ones on windows
[04:03] <billy> both inspiron 1501 laptops
[04:04] <Jordan_U> billy, How desperate are you ? :)
[04:04] <deadowl> what application does GNOME Ubuntu use as a clipboard
[04:04] <deadowl> ?
[04:04] <Scunizi> gnome-clip?
[04:04] <billy> very...
[04:05] <Jordan_U> billy, Actually, did restricted manager give a URL before you grabbed the one you have now in /lib/firmware?
[04:05] <billy> nope
[04:05] <billy> never gave a url
[04:05] <Scunizi> beep
[04:05] <ryan_mandelbaum> does anybody know if there is a fluxbuntu for ppc
[04:06] <Jordan_U> billy, You could run the Ubuntu LiveCD in a virtual machine, install bcm43xx-fwcutter on that then save the firmware
[04:06] <tero-> xtknight: pretty sure. eth0 is the wired ethernet interface, eth1 is the wireless one
[04:06] <billy> how do i run a virtual machine?
[04:06] <xtknight> tero-, any luck then in blackbox?
[04:07] <Jordan_U> billy, Or if you know of a place I can host a 10.6 meg file?
[04:07] <xtknight> tero-, eth1 simply does not appear in "ifconfig -a"?
[04:07] <billy> email it to me?
[04:07] <billy> jordan_u
[04:07] <billy> wbreslin951@gmail.com
[04:07] <xtknight> yousendit.com for big email attachments also
[04:08] <xtknight> !fluxbuntu
[04:09] <tero-> xtknight: it's there in the listing of ifconfig but ifup eth1 does not do anything. I'll try to add it in interfaces-file now
[04:10] <aghachi> why does screens and graphics crash when i open it?
[04:10] <aghachi> it happend after i isntalled the updates
[04:10] <xtknight> aghachi,  hmm don't know...but filing a bug may be a good idea
[04:10] <aghachi> lol im a n00b ubuntu user how do i do that
[04:11] <xtknight> !launchpad | aghachi, well you can file bugs here
[04:11] <xtknight> http://launchpad.net/
[04:11] <xtknight> rather ^
[04:11] <aghachi> ok
[04:11] <aghachi> then what
[04:11] <aghachi> click bugs
[04:11] <deadowl> Is there any way to get a custom application launcher to run xsel --clipboard | espeak?
[04:11] <xtknight> aghachi, click bugs ya
[04:12] <xtknight> aghachi, then report a bug
[04:12] <mrpockets> how can i find the MAC address of a wireless network in Ubuntu?
[04:13] <openros> join #django
[04:13] <tero-> xtknight: okay, that worked. now it works. I just wondered if there was a fancier way to do it in Blackbox
[04:13] <xtknight> tero-, what did u do
[04:13] <Jordan_U> billy, grr, now gmail is being slow
[04:13] <openros> join #django
[04:13] <xtknight> aghachi, and after you report the bug, people will contact you on the bug's page about reproducing the problem or fixing it
[04:14] <amenado> mrpockets-> ap?  sudo ip a   for your nic,  iwconfig
[04:14] <tero-> xtknight: I added line "iface eth1 inet dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:14] <xtknight> tero-, ah, interesting.
[04:14] <aghachi> hmm
[04:14] <jack|ass> So I have serveral files that apparently had their timestamp written as "1961-11-25 17:31."  Anyone have ideas on what caused that?  and how it's doing dates before 1970?
[04:15] <tero-> xtknight: and then I setup the wireless adapter with iwconfig
[04:15] <xtknight> tero-, ah well blackbox is too obscure to have a network UI i guess.  im not sure if filing a bug for that would do any good altho im surprised eth1 wasnt there by default.  might be a bug higher in the food chain..
[04:17] <soreau> Ok, so i'm ready now to reinstall feisty on the older box that is incapable of running Gutsy at all, but I want to have the system see the two hd's as one. How do I do this?
[04:17] <deadowl> is there way to get a gnome custom application launcher to read one commands output as another's input?
[04:18] <soreau> deadowl what are you trying to ultimately do?
[04:18] <xtknight> deadowl, i dont quite understand what u mean
[04:18] <tero-> xtknight: yeah I guess that those who wish to use Blackbox should be able to tackle with something as simple as configuring a network interface
[04:18] <xtknight> tero-, hehe
[04:18] <deadowl> soreau, I'm trying to essentially do xsel --clipboard | espeak from the panel
[04:19] <tero-> xtknight: it's just that the window manager (compiz, I guess) is too heavy for my poor little laptop with 512 megs of ram
[04:19] <haymaker> ok, i have orphaned some files, the account that owned them got deleted.  how can i fix?
[04:19] <xtknight> deadowl, and u cant craete a launcher for that?
[04:19] <xtknight> deadowl, try    sh -c "xsel --clipboard | espeak"     or something
[04:19] <foxtwofoxtwo> i wants to be on bash.org!
[04:19] <xtknight> not usre
[04:19] <foxtwofoxtwo> famous quote here!
[04:19] <xtknight> not sure
[04:19] <soreau> deadowl: hmm .. I wouldn't know, just wait a sec and perhaps someone else can help you here
[04:19] <aghachi> do i just state the bug on that site?
[04:19] <soreau> deadowl: Make a script
[04:19] <deadowl> THANK YOU xtknight
[04:19] <xtknight> tero-, oh yeah?  well gnome's WM is metacity.  you can disable compiz
[04:19] <deadowl> now I can do something really cool
[04:20] <xtknight> deadowl, it's cuz sh is a single cmd.  i guess launcher doesnt support pipes or sometihng
[04:20] <soreau> Hi guys. Ok, so i'm ready now to reinstall feisty on the older box that is incapable of running Gutsy at all, but I want to have the system see the two hd's as one. How do I do this?
[04:20] <deadowl> guess so, I'm no expert with this kind of thing.
[04:20] <aghachi> hmm when i uninstalled the unlocked graphics the screnn worked
[04:21] <xtknight> soreau, grab the alternate cd and utilize RAID/LVM
[04:21] <wols> soreau: why is it unable to run it?
[04:21] <wols> run gutsy that is
[04:21] <soreau> LVM
[04:21] <xtknight> ya there really shouldnt be any regressions
[04:21] <soreau> xtknight: How would I do this? The live cd is sitting here loaded right now
[04:22] <soreau> wols: idk
[04:22] <xtknight> soreau, you need the alternate cd for raid/lvm installation
[04:22] <soreau> Alt cd
[04:22] <soreau> Ok
[04:22] <xtknight> soreau, what does gutsy do when u try to run it
[04:22] <soreau> I guess the one I have just wont do it
[04:22] <xtknight> soreau, nope
[04:22] <Jordan_U> billy, got it?
[04:22] <fus10nx> Hey all, I jus order this motherboard: http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D5400XS/index.htm  -- anyone else use it?
[04:22] <wols> soreau: then your statement is simply worthless
[04:22] <tero-> xtknight: aa that might do the trick. is there a menu for that or would removing compiz-package just do the trick?
[04:22] <wols> !anyone | fus10nx
[04:22] <ubotu> fus10nx: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:23] <soreau> xtknight: It freezes with a blinking cursor after loading the kernel and pci probe devices iirc
[04:23] <xtknight> tero-, system preferences appearances desktop effects->no effects
[04:23] <fus10nx> wols: that was my real question :)
[04:23] <billy> jordan_u lemme check
[04:23] <wols> fus10nx: that is a BS question
[04:23] <xtknight> soreau, ahh..have you filed a bug for this?
[04:23] <soreau> wols you're worthless :)
[04:23] <wols> and it was NOT your real question
[04:23] <fus10nx> ya i wanna know if anyone has it
[04:23] <wols> soreau: don't do an ad hominem please
[04:23] <fus10nx> in here
[04:23] <soreau> xtknight: No, this is a resurrected dinosaur computer lol
[04:23] <wols> fus10nx: no one does. you can't buy it yet last I chcked
[04:23] <tero-> xtknight: thanks. I'm from the command line generation, completely lost with the menus
[04:24] <billy> jordan_u not yet
[04:24] <fus10nx> wols: ya, its on sale.
[04:24] <xtknight> tero-, oh.  ya i wonderd.  u seemed pretty well versed
[04:24] <fus10nx> i jus ordered it
[04:24] <icesword> hi
[04:24] <xtknight> soreau, oh well..but feisty works right?  but gutsy doesn't... so that's a regression...bug filing material! heh
[04:24] <icesword> who is from Singgapore here
[04:24] <xtknight> soreau, you dont have to but it would be nice
[04:24] <icesword> Singapore
[04:24]  * jscinoz is away: I'm busy
[04:24] <soreau> xtknight: Seems gutsy isn't as great as I would think it should be since it is newer release
[04:24] <zero> hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client?
[04:25] <fus10nx> http://www.provantage.com/intel-boxd5400xs~7ITEM0F4.htm
[04:25] <fus10nx> thats where i got it from
[04:25] <soreau> xtknight: Even here on this pc where it does work
[04:25] <xtknight> soreau, well ya sometimes it's better in some ways worse than others
[04:25] <xtknight> worse in others
[04:25]  * jscinoz is back (gone 00:00:52)
[04:25] <fus10nx> im trying to build the highest end system possible
[04:25] <icesword> who is from Singapore here
[04:25] <fus10nx> super super fast
[04:25] <soreau> xtknight: I usually don't file bug reports, I just wait for the issue to hopefully work itself out in the future
[04:26] <xtknight> soreau, lol
[04:26] <Dvarg> my brother got a macpro... 2 quadcore xeon processors
[04:26] <soreau> The *buntu devs are usually pretty good about this
[04:26] <billy> Jordan_U: i wont give out ur email lol
[04:26] <soreau> xtknight: Ok, lemme start an alt dl
[04:26] <xtknight> fus10nx, so what's your question
[04:26] <xtknight> fus10nx, will 8core work on ubuntu?  yes , kernel has SMP suppotr
[04:26] <fus10nx> xtknight: if anyone else here had it and how it runs in ubuntu
[04:26] <NickGarvey> fus10nx: IBM had this one computer.. deep blue I believe it was called ;)
[04:26] <zero> hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client?
[04:26] <xtknight> blue gene
[04:26] <fus10nx> NickGarvey: ha ha
[04:26] <xtknight> or somethin
[04:26] <icesword> hello,who is from Singapore here
[04:27] <fus10nx> well fastest consumer
[04:27] <fus10nx> i wish this board had DDR3
[04:27] <fus10nx> but ill deal with FBDIMM
[04:27] <fus10nx> DDR2
[04:27] <xtknight> fbdimm isnt going to be faster though
[04:27] <xtknight> its for reliability isnt it?
[04:27] <xtknight> might even be slower than ddr2 800 i dunno
[04:27] <billy> jordan_u: what do i do with those files?
[04:28] <fus10nx> and does Ubuntu support SLI?
[04:28] <xtknight> fus10nx, yes through nvidia binary drivers
[04:28] <Jordan_U> billy,  extract them to /lib/firmware
[04:28] <fus10nx> thanks
[04:28]  * fus10nx is new to Ubuntu
[04:28] <zero> hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client? it keeps trying to make me use evolution
[04:28] <xtknight> fus10nx, my main concern would be with the new intel 5400 chipset but kernel is usually fast about adding support
[04:28] <fus10nx> so thanks for the help
[04:28] <billy> kk
[04:28] <xtknight> fus10nx, the new ubuntu release Hardy might support it out of the box
[04:28] <fus10nx> xtknight: hopefully HH has support
[04:28] <xtknight> i dunno if Gutsy would
[04:28] <xtknight> yea
[04:28] <fus10nx> ya
[04:29] <fus10nx> well HH is next month, right?
[04:29] <xtknight> april

[04:29] <Dinde> Hi
[04:29] <fus10nx> awww ok
[04:29] <speps> hey guys has somebody tried skype 2 beta version ... it seems like i can't choose my avater ... isn't it?THANKS
[04:29] <soreau> @lart credible c ya!
[04:29] <soreau> nope
[04:29] <billy> jordan_u: do you know where outlook express saves its files?
[04:30] <Dinde> Does anyone get some information about dccprobe problem ? edidfail, i can reproduce this bug, actualy it happends when you update from feisty to gutsy. If anyone have a workaround/fix, it would be appreceated !
[04:30] <xtknight> outlook express saves email in Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities i think
[04:30] <xtknight> or something like that
[04:30] <wols> from what I remember the 6400 chipset has been available a while. so the kernel might already have support
[04:30] <wols> it's a bog standard server chipset
[04:30] <xtknight> they're .dbx files
[04:30] <Jordan_U> billy, It's all one monolithic file, can't you just get to it from the outlook UI?
[04:31] <Dinde> The result of this bug is i can't use my DVI output with the native resolution for the screen
[04:31] <xtknight> Dinde, i dont know i havent had the problem
[04:31] <CrimsonDork> Anyone knows how to set two different screens using a Nvidia 8400 chipset?
[04:31] <billy> Jordan_U i think its corrupted..
[04:31] <wols> Dinde: handedit the xorg.conf
[04:31] <Jordan_U> billy, Try getting it through the web interface
[04:31] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, dual monitor?  is 8400 chipset a dual head
[04:32] <billy> in ubuntu? you sent it to my windows computer.. the ubuntu one isnt on the net
[04:32] <Dinde> Tried to do that but it's a plasma display through a DVI -> HDMI adaptator, it worked fine on feisty. I can't get the good Modeline for this screen ...
[04:32] <xtknight> Dinde, ahh hmm.
[04:32] <Dinde> edidfail
[04:32] <xtknight> Dinde, did you install drivers for your video card
[04:32] <Dinde> yes i did, fglrx
[04:33] <gorbierd> suggest me please where information about system language(imean language pack) are stored?
[04:33] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Dual monitor, yes. Dual veiw, not just duplicate. And on Windows it would let me have both but that inside the Nvidia settings, here I don't seem to find this option.
[04:33] <Dinde> I've seen on launchpad that i'm not the only one with this bug, no workaround on the board.
[04:33] <xtknight> Dinde, so modeline generation thru "gtf 1366 768 60" does not work, or w/e the native res of your plasma is..
[04:33] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, do u have nvidia proprietary restricted drivers installed
[04:34] <gorbierd> I just want to change this information in my customized livecd
[04:34] <Dinde> I tried also, when i supply the information from my manual, and compare, there is some big difference, and display become a real mess
[04:34] <xtknight> Dinde, have you tried using a Modeline, though?
[04:34] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: I think I do, I can see the settings and make miracles with the main screen, but when I try to set a secondary screen it doesn't let me.
[04:34] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, type "gksu nvidia-settings"
[04:34] <Dinde> Yes
[04:34] <gorbierd> any one can help me?
[04:35] <billy> jordan_U how do i extract it to lib/firmware?
[04:35] <gorbierd> or see me)?
[04:35] <xtknight> Dinde, how about UseEDID false or whatever ATI driver's ignore EDID command is
[04:35] <billy> !ask|gorbierd
[04:35] <ubotu> gorbierd: 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. :-)
[04:35] <Dinde> i did it also :(
[04:35] <xtknight> Dinde, hmm maybe it's a fglrx bug?
[04:35] <Dinde> Bug#94994
[04:35] <xtknight> Dinde, what launchpad
[04:35] <xtknight> ok
[04:35] <gorbierd> ok)
[04:35] <chicagonpg> Does anybody know of a good website for Linux Admin training?
[04:35] <xtknight> Dinde, well HDMI might possibly be a problem i dont know
[04:35] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Kk. That is the same windows I saw earlier.
[04:36] <billy> jordan_u?
[04:36] <Jordan_U> billy, Save it to the desktop then "cd ~/Desktop && unzip firmware.zip && sudo cp firmware/* /lib/firmware"
[04:36] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, and you can't summon the second display using that control panel
[04:36] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, ?
[04:37] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, it will appear as disabled to begin with or something.  press Detect Displays
[04:37] <Dinde> xtknight: the point is, it was working 1 hour ago before my update to feisty :|
[04:37] <xtknight> Dinde, oh really
[04:37] <Dinde> As reported at launchpad website ;)
[04:37] <billy> what about the generic folders?
[04:38] <prasanna> hey, what can i use to sync my smartphone on ubuntu?
[04:38] <Frijolie> i'm getting some weird stuff happening. Every time I get to a GUI boot my window decorations are gone and I have to type "metacity --replace" in a terminal and leave the terminal open for them to stay
[04:38] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Set it as Separate X screen?
[04:38] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, depends
[04:38] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, do u want span or dualview
[04:38] <Jordan_U> billy, It's not necessary for the firmware to be in each of them as long as it's in the root
[04:38] <brad01> How would I find out what's in my pc card bus?
[04:38] <MrPiracy> where can i enabled phisics in kiba-dock settings?
[04:38] <Frijolie> it also takes networkmanager about 5 minutes to load after I see the GUI
[04:38] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Dual.
[04:39] <billy> jordan u do i extract those files as well tho?
[04:39] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, separate X screen makes them two different GNOMEs
[04:39] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Right on. The other is just big. K.
[04:39] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, otherwise you want twinview.. well twinview is like span mode.  but maximizing one window will only use one screen
[04:39] <Jordan_U> billy, Sorry, didn't mean to include those
[04:39] <Frijolie> any ideas how to fix this?
[04:39] <Dinde> anyway, thanks for your concerne ktknight. Gonna install gentoo.
[04:39] <Dinde> -e
[04:39] <billy> k so there not important? now i just restart right?
[04:40] <xtknight> Dinde, alrighty then
[04:40] <MrPiracy> where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> billy, instead, to unzip all of them but only copy the firmware "cd ~/Desktop && unzip firmware.zip && sudo cp firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware"
[04:40] <billy> so how do i undo what i already did?
[04:41] <brad01> How would I find out what's in my pc card bus?
[04:41] <techqbert> did a security update to thunderbird just come out?  I just apt-get upgraded to it but its taking forever to dl
[04:41] <Starnestommy> brad01: lspci?
[04:42] <billy> Jordan_U: anything else after restart?
[04:42] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Now it doesn't even detect the second screen.
[04:43] <brad01> StarnesStommy, It says I have a cardbus bridge but It says nothing about the card in it
[04:43] <Jordan_U> billy, Nope, hopefully it will "just work™"
[04:43] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, interesting
[04:44] <billy> should i blacklist any old drivers?
[04:44] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, well when you can get it to detect everything, press Save to X config.
[04:45] <szx0> I'm trying to install Ubuntu with Software RAID1, I have two 300GB drives, I configured everything in the partitioner and told it to write it to disk, but now no matter which option I pick from the main menu it just dumps me right back in the partitioner! Is that Ubuntu's way of telling me something isn't right?
[04:45] <Dinde> let's try hardy before reinstalling whole os :x
[04:45] <speeddemon8803> Dinde, you do realize hardy is still in testing stages right?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> billy, I feel like an idiot now, if I hadn't included the other firmware files for every device for multiple kernel versions it would have been much smaller and uploadable
[04:46] <brad01> I want to get my network card working
[04:46] <Dinde> of course i am ...

[04:46] <billy> lol its cool.. still not working tho.. gonna try one more thing.. whats the command to reload all the drivers?
[04:46] <Dinde> This box is a media center, i don't need a lot of stuff
[04:47] <Dinde> just X a window manager and my media center ...
[04:47] <Jordan_U> billy, you should just need to "sudo rmmod bcm43xx && sudo modprobe bcm43xx"
[04:47] <goudkov> hi guy, how do i search for the available source packages? "aptitude search" doesn't seem to list them, but deb-src is in the sources file
[04:48] <billy> then restart? jordan u?
[04:49] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Hmm.
[04:49] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, so any luck
[04:49] <xtknight> ?
[04:50] <billy> Jordan_U
[04:50] <Jordan_U> billy, That should prevent the need to restart, if restarting didn't work that probably won't either ( but it might be nice to see if it gives any errors )
[04:50] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Says it's supposed to work, but the screen simply doesn't turn on or shows anything.
[04:50] <brad01> How do I get a cardbus network card to work in ubuntu?
[04:51] <billy> Jordan_U: its still not working...
[04:52] <pawan> wanted rocketdock for ubuntu
[04:52] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: When I do apply, it displays some reason why it might not set it.
[04:52] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, ya
[04:53] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, u have to use Save to X Config
[04:53] <brad01> How do I get a cardbus network card to work in ubuntu?
[04:53] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, apply is a misnomera bit
[04:53] <xtknight> misnomer
[04:53] <ThreeFingerPete> hi there. i've installed ubuntu on 4 machines, but i have a question. i'm about to install it on a toshiba laptop. the hdd has four partitions. "TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME", the partition with vista on it, a small 3 gig partition and a hard drive recovery partition. An hdd is only allowed 4 partitions, right? how should I approach this?
[04:53] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Same thing, Save X it and nothing happens.
[04:53] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, u have to pres ctrl alt backspace to restart X server..
[04:53] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, logout otherwords
[04:54] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: K, lemme check.
[04:55] <billy> helpppp jordan_u
[04:56] <J1> hey i have a strange issue... i isntalled ubuntu and now i dont have access to some partitions since they are owned by the root account
[04:56] <billy> Jordan_U?
[04:57] <szx0> When configuring software RAID... how many HD should I create?
[04:57] <ThreeFingerPete> Jl, you normally dont access them. give yourself su if you wish to
[04:57] <szx0> When configuring software RAID... how many HD (* correction MD)  should I create?
[04:57] <xtknight> szx0, well in any case make sure your /boot partition is not a raid partition
[04:57] <Jordan_U> billy, I don't know :( I am curious why you were never offered the standard options for broadcom cards from restricted manager though
[04:57] <xtknight> szx0, an MD is just a partition
[04:57] <billy> Jordan_U: yeah.. i dunno..
[04:57] <billy> 7.10
[04:58] <szx0> xtknight, right but how many do I need to make?
[04:58] <MrPiracy> where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings?
[04:58] <xtknight> szx0, well probably one for / and one for /home at maximum
[04:58] <billy> i hope a restart will fix this s***
[04:58] <J1> threefingerpete -  not my system partitions or anything. a separate empty partition where i want to save my larger files. only data on it is a folder called "lost and found" (whats that btw?) and i cant access it
[04:58] <billy> brb
[04:58] <xtknight> szx0, you really only need a /
[04:58] <xtknight> szx0, but i guess you can use RAID for swap.. i dont know if that's a good idea
[04:58] <Bidou> hi
[04:58] <ThreeFingerPete> JlL that should be your garbage can
[04:59] <szx0> xtknight, so I need to make a MD for every partition that I want for the RAID setup ?
[04:59] <ThreeFingerPete> Jl: that should be your garbage
[04:59] <xtknight> szx0, correct
[04:59] <szx0> xtknight, ok
[04:59] <J1> whats the command to change the permissions so i can access that folder?
[04:59] <xtknight> szx0, for example md0 can be a partition spanning hd1+hd2
[05:00] <ThreeFingerPete> xtknight: i didnt know a partition could span two drives
[05:00] <Jordan_U> billy, This is a PCI card, right?
[05:00] <xtknight> ThreeFingerPete, yup in a raid config
[05:00] <szx0> xtknight, let me try this now
[05:00] <xtknight> or lvm also
[05:00] <xtknight> logical volumes
[05:00] <Some_Person> How can I create an Xserver Window with a program running in it?
[05:01] <jetsaredim> is it possible to reconstruct a raid setup without having the raidtab file?
[05:01] <xtknight> lost+found is a directory for recovered chunks from file system checks...i think
[05:01] <xtknight> jetsaredim, yup
[05:01] <xtknight> jetsaredim, just add the drives to a device with mdadm
[05:01] <J1> threefingerpete -  how can i edit the partition so i can use it without problems?
[05:01] <szx0> xtknight, so I should make another /boot on both Hard Disks, make it bootable but also don't make a MD for it ?
[05:01] <brad01> How do I get a cardbus networking card to work in ubuntu?
[05:01] <jetsaredim> xtknight: do you know where I'd be able to find some docs on that?
[05:01] <xtknight> szx0, make only one /boot partition on one hard disk
[05:01] <theAtom> whenever I try to use printer, it never prints a page.  How do I get printer to work in Ubuntu?
[05:01] <xtknight> jetsaredim, i wish i could tell ya..
[05:01] <xtknight> jetsaredim, i dont remember exactly the cmd
[05:02] <xtknight> jetsaredim, but i do know you need to update your kernel intird afterwards.  sudo update-initramfs i belive...that will at least save you some frustration
[05:02] <xtknight> jetsaredim, after you do mdadm create on the two hard disks
[05:02] <theAtom> !printer
[05:02] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:02] <Some_Person> How do I make an embedded Xserver?
[05:03] <jetsaredim> xtknight: I'm not using it as a boot device - and I think that when you install mdadm it runs mkinitramfs
[05:03] <ThreeFingerPete> Jl: i am not sure. I am still a little new myself
[05:03] <r00723r0> How would I install a .ttf font?
[05:03] <xtknight> jetsaredim, not after you add a device to raidtab it doesnt automatically
[05:03] <Some_Person> How do I make an embedded Xserver?
[05:03] <xtknight> jetsaredim, i had that trouble
[05:03] <J1> threefingerpete - ah ok thanks anyway ^_^
[05:03] <xtknight> jetsaredim, i think you mdadm create and then the two partitions, then /dev/md0 or the MDx device... i just dont remember the exact syntax
[05:04] <Some_Person> How do I make an embedded Xserver?
[05:04] <r00723r0> Does anyone know?
[05:04] <Jordan_U> Some_Person, Xepher
[05:04] <J1> its just kinda strange i didnt have this the first time i installd ubuntu. now im having this issue and I dont know why. root is the only one allowed to edit the partitions and i cant login with root, so i have to do sudo every 5 mins
[05:04] <ThreeFingerPete> Jl: if you change your name to more than three letters, people can press tab to auto complete it, and it will show up in color when they respond to you. if you are using xchat anyway
[05:05] <Some_Person> Jordan_U: Where do I get this "Xepher"?
[05:05] <J1> j1 - ill do that ^_^
[05:05] <tanath> my sound is distorted playing flash videos
[05:05] <tanath> i've tried reinstalling flash
[05:05] <tanath> can anyone help?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Some_Person, Sorry, xephyr
[05:06] <tanath> seems like it might be a bug in flash, 'cause my firefox is using a slightly different version, and it's fine
[05:06] <Some_Person> Jordan_U: thank you
[05:06] <J1> tanath -  to isntall flash go to applications: add/remove and search for "ubuntu restricted"
[05:07] <J1> tanath - you will find "ubuntu restricted extras". it comes with mp3, dvd, java, flash and some other stuff
[05:07] <tanath> J1, um, i know that. i have it
[05:08] <Varanger> I've got a question about dd. What is the difference in the output fil when I use the operand: bs=1024k
[05:08] <J1> tanath - and its not working?
[05:08] <tanath> J1, i said the sound is distorted
[05:08] <Rug> Howdy all
[05:08] <r00723r0> Does anyone know how to install fonts?
[05:08] <J1> tanath -  ah ok i didnt get that part
[05:08] <pawan> hi
[05:08] <googlingtingwana> tanath, flash was the one thing that didn't work for me out of the box ... I ended up installing from the tar.gz file from the Adobe site
[05:08] <tanath> J1, i've tried reinstalling
[05:08] <nixbox> I have an HP dv2500 with Intel Wireless WifiLink 4965 AGN wireless card, somehow the wireless interface is not showing up after I have restarted the system, the wireless modules are loaded as indicated by lsmod, they are "iwl4965"
[05:09] <crackhead100_> hi, for some reason, my network wireless card can see the available wireless networks, but i can't connect -- i adjust the settings properly.. and then dhclient just goes 255.255.255.255 repeatedly and says no leases persistent.. sleeping.. any help???
[05:09] <nixbox> i have tried doing modeprobe -r iwl4965 and then doing modeprobe iwl4965 again
[05:09] <Jordan_U> !font | r00723r0
[05:09] <ubotu> r00723r0: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[05:09] <power788> How do I change what is said before the $ on the command line? I dont like user@computer
[05:09] <J1> tanath - my mozilla was kinda slow and laggy with flash first time i installed, somehow it fixed after i reinstalled... so no idea
[05:09] <brad01> That's your computers name
[05:09] <deadowl> anybody know if there's anywhere I can download nicer voices for espeak?
[05:09] <nixbox> crackhead100, do you know if you card associates with an access point? you can check this using iwconfig
[05:10] <power788> i know it has to do with the bashrc file but Im not sure beyond that
[05:10] <Jordan_U> deadowl, I doubt any exist :(
[05:10] <crackhead100> nixbox, it's associated with the right access point..
[05:10] <jetsaredim> xtknight: I was able to use mdadm --assemble to get the setup back
[05:10] <crackhead100> or seems to be..
[05:10] <xtknight> jetsaredim, ahh ya assemble
[05:10] <xtknight> jetsaredim, good to know
[05:10] <brad01> Does anyone know how to set up a network card via cardbus on linux?
[05:11] <nixbox> crackhead100, is that access point under your control? Do you know it is running DHCP ?
[05:11] <MrPiracy> where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings?
[05:11] <googlingtingwana> power788, you need to set the PS1 variable - you can see the options in "man bash"
[05:11] <jetsaredim> xtknight: do i need to re-create the raidtab?
[05:11] <Tokayla> i accidently deleted my etc/modules file ... any idea how i can rebuild it?
[05:11] <crackhead100> nixbox: it's a d-link wireless router, very simple, and yes, i think it uses dhcp.. dont know why it wouldnt.. it's connected fine before to othe rlaptops runnign windows and whatever else..
[05:11] <xtknight> jetsaredim, not sure.  i thought assemble did that automatically
[05:11] <power788> googlingtingwana: thank you very much
[05:11] <szx0> xtknight, I'm trying to install setup RAID1, I have two 300GB drives, I configured everything in the partitioner like u described...and told it to write it to disk, but now no matter which option I pick from the main menu it just dumps me right back in the partitioner! Is that Ubuntu's way of telling me something isn't right?
[05:11] <xtknight> jetsaredim, do update initramfs after assemble i think?  i dont know
[05:12] <xtknight> jetsaredim, i think initramfs needs something in raidtab
[05:12] <xtknight> szx0, did you mount a partition as /
[05:12] <nixbox> which wireless security mode does the wireless router use?
[05:12] <xtknight> szx0, and /boot and swap
[05:12] <nixbox> crackhead100, see above...
[05:13] <crackhead100> nixbox: see what above?
[05:13] <JJ1> why cant i mount/unmount partitions since i reinstalld ubuntu?
[05:13] <xtknight> JJ1, need sudo?
[05:13] <googlingtingwana> jetsaredim, I've recently setup raid-1 using mdadm, but there was no raidtab file - I thought that was for an "older" tool
[05:13] <__mikem> How long does it take to change the size of an NTFS partition from 110 GB to 100 GB?
[05:13] <crackhead100> nixbox: it's a dlink wireless router, veyr simple.. other comps running windows and ubuntu have connected fine to it, using dhcp..
[05:13] <Rug> __mikem: It could take awhile
[05:13] <jetsaredim> googlingtingwana: I'm just rebooting now to see if it comes back up
[05:14] <MrPiracy> __mikem: depends on the contents and the free space u have
[05:14] <JJ1> xtknight - yeah, since i reinstalled root is the owner and I have only read access
[05:14] <szx0> xtknight, well when i goto partion the disks it is asking me what I am going use the partition as... so i change it from ext3 to "physical volume for raid"... but once that option is chosen the mount point (i.e., "/") is gone and I have no where to define that now
[05:14] <tanath> my sound is distorted playing flash videos. i've tried reinstalling it. can anyone help?
[05:14] <JJ1> xtknight - and i dunno how to change it
[05:14] <nixbox> crackhead100, oh I mean, which security mode does the wireless router use? WPA, WEP etc?
[05:14] <xtknight> tanath, maybe alsa needs a rule for flash, or something, i dont know.  im thinking different Hz .. 44000hz vs 22000 or something causing distortion?
[05:14] <crackhead100> it's using wpa 40 bit or something right now.. 0000000000.. a form of that
[05:15] <brad01> do you have wpasupplicant?
[05:15] <xtknight> szx0, ok well that's fine.  you should designate two partitions as phys vol for RAID
[05:15] <xtknight> szx0, then you use the RAID partitioner that appears at the top.
[05:15] <xtknight> szx0, the raid partition has u create an MD device.  this md device's mountpoint can be set
[05:16] <tanath> xtknight, sounds like a possibility. sounds like what i imagine that might sound like
[05:16] <crackhead100> nixbox: you get that?
[05:16] <tanath> xtknight, i seem to have two versions of flash though. my firefox install is pointing to a different revision number and it works fine
[05:16] <szx0> xtknight, ahh yes yes I see now!!
[05:16] <crackhead100> nixbox: i can't change the encryption or anyting..
[05:17] <ThreeFingerPete> is it safe to delete the recovery partitions for vista after i make disks, so that i can install ubuntu?
[05:17] <crackhead100> nixbox: others are using it set as is..
[05:17] <nixbox> crackhead100, how have you specified the security key using ubuntu?
[05:17] <xtknight> tanath, what do you mean...
[05:17] <xtknight> tanath, which one doesnt work ?
[05:18] <crackhead100> well, i was using wireless assistant.. but it doesn't work.. i try iwconfig and it sets fine.. but then i try to get a lease from the router and get a connection, and it doesnt.. just 255.255.255.255 during dhcpdiscover or whatever.. and then no leases.. sleeping..
[05:18] <crackhead100> nixbox:
[05:18] <tanath> xtknight, the one firefox points to works fine. the installed one from ubuntu, which is used by epiphany doesn't
[05:18] <xtknight> tanath, ahh i see
[05:18] <tanath> xtknight, i generally use epiphany though
[05:18] <xtknight> tanath, well i say just upgrade them both
[05:18] <xtknight> tanath, epiphany uses mozilla plugin architecture does it not
[05:18] <Rug> crackhead100: have you tried manually setting the IP info?
[05:18] <tanath> xtknight, it's the latest version
[05:18] <tanath> xtknight, the firefox one is slightly older, but works
[05:18] <prettyricky> Hey guys what can I use to increase the hard drive space since I only allowed 10 gig for the installation of ubuntu. Is there anything that I can repartition my drive?
[05:18] <xtknight> tanath, ah well i hate to say it but u could use the older one for epiphany also.  are they both flash 9 a?
[05:18] <xtknight> flash 9*
[05:18] <tanath> xtknight, firefox is a dependency of it...
[05:19] <tanath> xtknight, both flash 9...
[05:19] <Rug> prettyricky: qtparted, or gparted
[05:19] <nixbox> crackhead100, how have you specified the security key using ubuntu?
[05:19] <prettyricky> any of those work?
[05:19] <xtknight> tanath, weird.  how did you end up with two revisions
[05:19] <prettyricky> where do I get them at?
[05:19] <Frogzoo> prettyricky: if there's space at the end of the partition, you can boot a live cd, and use gparted to grow the fs
[05:19] <tanath> xtknight, y'know, i'm not even sure why firefox is using an older version, or where it is, lol
[05:19] <crackhead100> nixbox: what do you mean? i set it in the iwconfig and then also i tried it in the wirelessassistant program..
[05:19] <tanath> xtknight, dunno. i obviously installed it a while ago and forgot
[05:19] <xtknight> tanath, heh im thinking maybe u downloaded a flash from adobe..but then wouldnt that be newer
[05:19] <Rug> prettyricky: apt-get install, or through synaptic
[05:20] <prettyricky> is it user friendly?
[05:20] <firstnick> hello
[05:20] <tanath> xtknight, i'd like to know why it doesn't work as it should though. epiphany and the flash it's using are both from the repos
[05:20] <Rug> prettyricky: depends on the user
[05:20] <xtknight> tanath, yeah i dont know honestly
[05:21] <tanath> xtknight, er, well, it's the nonfree flash, so it downloads it, but still came from the repo package
[05:21] <AntiUSA> is there a driver for Ubuntu for the NVidia 8600 GT?
[05:21] <xtknight> tanath, all i can think of is asound.conf (alsa configuration) needs something for flash
[05:21] <Guest15624> ZAHUYARENSHENPIZDROCHERESPLECHOYEBANISCHENKO
[05:21] <prettyricky> lol
[05:21] <xtknight> tanath, mine worked out of box though
[05:21] <tanath> xtknight, yeah, i know nothing about that
[05:21] <Varanger> I've got a question about dd. If I make a "dd if=input of=output_file" and "dd if=input of=output_file bs=1024k"... will the output file will be the same or it will be affected by the "bs" operand?
[05:21] <tanath> xtknight, well then mine should too... only it doesn't
[05:21] <prettyricky> thanks guys!
[05:21] <Frogzoo> Varanger: same file, 2nd command will be quicker is all
[05:22] <xtknight> what's default bs
[05:22] <xtknight> 1 byte?
[05:22] <Frogzoo> 4k?
[05:22] <xtknight> i think that's bs
[05:22] <xtknight> :)
[05:22] <Varanger> xtknight: According man, the default is 512
[05:22] <crackhead100> nixbox: hello? what do you mean??
[05:22] <prettyricky> rug----> which one do you prefer? qtparted or gparted?
[05:23] <AntiUSA> is there a driver for Ubuntu for the NVidia 8600 GT?
[05:23] <Bidou> Hi !
[05:23] <secondnick> hello
[05:23] <caner> this morning update manager came with a disto upgrade. i am already using 7.10 ?? what can this be about;??
[05:24] <billy> Jordan_u: you still here?
[05:24] <Frogzoo> caner: just ignore I guess
[05:24] <Bidou> my directory /opt doesn't exist ! Anybody know why ? I'm on a Gutsy Gibbon.
[05:24] <Bidou> is it a big problem ?
[05:24] <nickrud> Bidou: no, you can create it if you like
[05:24] <billy> nickrud
 thanks. is  there any announced date for a new version??
[05:25] <nickrud> billy: how'ed it go?
[05:25] <billy> still broken
[05:25] <Varanger> I am trying to make a quick backup for a partition in my hard disk. This will be very fast: "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/home/sda2.image bs=1024k"
[05:25] <billy> but.. in lshw i found a discrepency
[05:25] <Bidou> ok thanks, but wath's his utility ?
[05:25] <Frogzoo> !hardy
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <nickrud> Bidou: it's a place many people put extra software, like a copy of firefox from mozilla for example
[05:26] <billy> nickrud: it shows module:b44, but i need to run the bcm43xx module for a driver?
[05:26] <Varanger> I am trying to make a quick backup for a partition in my hard disk. This will be very fast: "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/home/sda2.image bs=1024k"
[05:26] <billy> right?
[05:26] <Varanger> will it enough?
[05:26] <zelrikriando> hi nickrud
[05:26] <AntiUSA> can anyone help? is there a driver for my NVidia 8600 GT?
[05:26] <automat> anyone have problems with uintptr_t ?
[05:26] <nickrud> billy: not sure. Like I was talking with wols, I'm not real strong on the ins and outs of wireless chips
[05:27] <Bidou> oh ok ! it's because in a turoial, they tell me extract xampp in /opt
[05:27] <Frogzoo> Varanger: sure
[05:27] <billy> mm who in here is?
[05:27] <Bidou> thanks a lot !
[05:27] <Flannel> Bidou: Just use the real LAMP stack: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:27] <Bidou> hum, ok
[05:27] <Bidou> i'll see that
[05:27] <nickrud> Bidou: yeah, definitely don't use xammp
[05:27] <automat> i can't compile vmware player or the cisco vpn client, and both fail complaining about some declaration and uintptr_t
[05:28] <xtknight> automat, do u have build-essential installed
[05:28] <Mushrooms> Hi everyone, I've been trying to get my graphire 4 tablet to work with ubuntu, and i've consulted the ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151&highlight=graphire4 .. one problem, I forgot where the xorg.conf file is located
[05:28] <Bidou> but what's the difference ?
[05:28] <automat> xtknight: yep... as far as i know.  i had it installed on gutsy, so i assume it carried through to hardy.
[05:28] <billy> is there a command to turn on your wireless card.. i think its turned off.
[05:28] <billy> and theres no switch
[05:28] <xtknight> automat, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall install build-essential, maybe
[05:29] <Dritzen> Hey billy, the wireless card was working again?
[05:29] <billy> nope
[05:29] <Dritzen> doh
[05:29] <nickrud> Bidou: lots of things you can add to apache using repos, with xammp you're locked into what they offer
[05:29] <billy> is there a terminal command to turn on your wireless card?
[05:30] <Bidou> ok, so it's for newbe who just want to create a little siteweb
[05:30] <nixor> irc.rampletea.com
[05:30] <nickrud> Bidou: sudo apt-get install apache2 , drop your html in /var/www
[05:30] <jamesrdorn> hey guys, I am having a problem w/ ubuntu forgetting my WPA key on every reboot. The fix is simple (just open the network config, and re-enter the key) but anoying. Anyone know of a fix?
[05:31] <Bidou> apache isn't in lamp ?
[05:31] <billy> how do i turn on my wireless card?
[05:31] <automat> xtknight: just triet the --reinstall.  same error. conflicting types with uintptr_t.  thanks, though.
[05:31] <automat> *tried
[05:31] <xtknight> automat, post the error on pastebin if you world
[05:31] <xtknight> would*
[05:31] <xtknight> !pastebin
[05:31] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic)
[05:31] <xtknight> automat,  i'll be right back
[05:31] <bazhang> billy does it show up using ifconfig/iwconfig?
[05:31] <nickrud> Bidou: if you have problems, or want to expand apache you'll get help here if you use the ubuntu stuff. xammp, you'll have to look elsewhere. Best reason I can offer :)
[05:31] <Frogzoo> billy: sometimes there's a hardware switch, then open network manager
[05:32] <billy> yes
[05:32] <googlingtingwana> jamesrdorn, is there a checkbox to remember the password? - I use WPA and don't have this issue

[05:36] <jamesrdorn> maybe I should clear it from my interface.conf and retry the vui
[05:37] <googlingtingwana> jamesrdorn, hmm - yes, I was going to suggest deleting and re-adding
[05:37] <automat> billy: bcm4311 will cause problems with your wireless.  maybe ip6v too.
[05:38] <billy> automat.. i had it working before... then it stopped.. ive done everything that i did to make it work and its still not working..
[05:38] <bazhang> griffi1: that sounds like a hardware question--could you be more precise please?
[05:39] <spinman> so whenver I suspend or hibernate I have to shut the laptop off to get back into the OS because it doesn't wake up when I do something
[05:39] <automat> billy: i went with ndiswrapper and windows drivers on gutsy.  what version are you running?
[05:39] <billy> gutsy
[05:39] <billy> ndiswrapper didn't work
[05:39] <billy> unless i used it wrong
[05:39] <billy> how'd you do it?
[05:39] <bazhang> spinman suspend and hibernate have long been serious problems for linux on laptops--there are numerous bugs on launchpad about it
[05:40] <billy> automat?
[05:40] <Frogzoo> yeah, suspend has gone past frustrating to ridiculous
[05:40] <griffi1> bazhang: yep, the hardware is Welland 5.25 external cd drive, it is recognized when I plug it ( ID 067b:3507 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL3507 ATAPI6 Bridge) but I can't mount it
[05:40] <automat> hardy drops the bcm* module in favor of b43 and b43legacy.  i've had better luck with them.  on gutsy, i had to download the working win driver from my win partition---it came with the thinkpad i'm using.
[05:40] <spinman> so is there anything I can do to get it working right?
[05:40] <bazhang> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ spinman you can add ideas you have about improving ubuntu here
[05:41] <SpamInaCan> how come when i boot the live cd the gnome menus do not expand all the way
[05:42] <bazhang> spinman you can check the bugs at launchpad and see what ubuntuforums has to say but it is a case by case thing if it works or not--never been able to get it working myself
[05:42] <prettyricky> Why is it that I cant find gparted after I installed it?? Where does it go
[05:42] <automat> billy: I haven't really looked into it, but see if there's a way to force the b43legacy driver in gutsy.  get rid of bcm43xx
[05:42] <griffi1> I ve got: device not accepting address 7, error -71     AND     reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 as errors few time       AND FINALLY      : scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
[05:42] <Daisuke_Ido> prettyricky: system > administration > partition editor
[05:43] <Bidou> i've a new question: when I installed mysql-server he didn't ask me for set up my password, anybody know why ?
[05:43] <prettyricky> walla@! Thanks!
[05:43] <automat> billy: if you think you have the right windows *.inf file, try blacklisting bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist after you install ndiswrapper.
[05:43] <spinman>  thanks bhazang
[05:43] <spinman> bazhang*
[05:43] <bazhang> sorry not to be more helpful spinman
[05:44] <automat> billy: then go through the normal ndiswrapper config.
[05:45] <spinman> it's not your fault bazhang, I've read most of ubuntu-forums after an exhausting google search
[05:45] <automat> xtknight: here's the compilation error with vmware: http://ham.space.umn.edu/~kkersten/vmware.error
[05:45] <bazhang> spinman just out of curiousity what make and model of laptop
[05:46] <spinman> lenovo t60p
[05:46] <automat> brb. smoke.
[05:46] <andong_mx> server matrix.dal.net
[05:46] <spinman> smoking's bad for your helth
[05:46] <bazhang> spinman just a moment I'm going to check thinkwiki..
[05:47] <Bidou> I'v a problem with mysql-server when I type the commande: mysql -uroot /// ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[05:48] <Bidou> and it didn't ask me for set up my password when I installed it
[05:48] <xtknight> automat, you might need to use a patch called vmware-any-any
[05:48] <Breakage> anyone know how to get grun to load urxvt as the default terminal, i've added "Terminal = urxvt" to .grunrc and tried "Terminal = usr/bin/urxvt" but it loads then flashes and dissapears, I don't have the default terminal for gmrun "gnome-terminal"
[05:48] <xtknight> automat, i dont know, other than that.  maybe a newer version of vmware would do it.
[05:48] <Daisuke_Ido> Bidou: try mysql -u root
[05:48] <Daisuke_Ido> note the space
[05:49] <Bidou> Daisuke_Ido: I've the same error
[05:50] <Daisuke_Ido> no clue then
[05:50] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-503587.html spinman here is one thread on that just a minute please
[05:50] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, have you tried reconfiguring mysql-server? Use dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[05:51] <optiq> hello, has anyone ever had a problem using namespace with gcc in ubuntu?
[05:52] <Bidou> googlingtingwana: i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server // and the shell said anythings and the command mysql -uroot don't work again
[05:52] <Ghost1227-afk> anyone have any idea why desktop switching would stop working?
[05:53] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, it sounds like you were NOT asked for the root password again during the reconfigure, right?
[05:53] <Bidou> googlingtingwana: exactly but i don't know how i can set up this password
[05:54] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, have you tried purging the package and reinstalling?
[05:54] <bazhang> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_on_a_Thinkpad_T60 spinman here is more on that model hope this helps a bit
[05:54] <Bidou> i'v to do: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server --purge to do that ?
[05:55] <automat> xtknight: i've heard of the vmware-any-any patch, but i'm hesitant.  i get the same error trying to compile the cisco vpn client.  i suppose i could dig into the patch and see how vmware fixes it.  might shed some light on the cisco client.
[05:55] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, just "apt-get purge mysql-server" should do it
[05:55] <squarebracket> for some reason sudo chown will not change anything, can anyone help me, uh, change that?
[05:55] <spinman> thanks bazhang
[05:56] <xtknight> automat, i dont know why it's not working for you.  you use a ubuntu kernel right?
[05:56] <bazhang> spinman no worries hope you get it working
[05:56] <xtknight> automat, probably older verison of vmware that doesnt support the kernel.  i dont see a relation between the cisco vpn and vmware failures  though
[05:56] <googlingtingwana> automat, the vmware-any-any patches have been very reliable for years; for me anyway
[05:57] <Bidou> googlingtingwana: ok, i do what you said, but whan i reinstall it, i had the same problem, it didn't ask me for set up my root password, and it automatically shut down
[05:57] <squarebracket> does mounting something lock it exclusively for root/sudo users?
[05:58] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, shut down the mysql server, I hope, not the whole computer?
[05:58] <Ghost1227> anyone?
[05:59] <Starnestommy> squarebracket: not if you use the right parameters for the mount command or on /etc/fstab
[05:59] <Bidou> googlingtingwana: yeah just the mysql-server
[05:59] <squarebracket> Starnestommy: what are the "right" parameters? --help didn't say anything about locking for users or whatever...
[06:00] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, the mysql-server is a meta package and it installs another package, for my that was mysql-server-5.0, same for you?
[06:00] <Starnestommy> squarebracket: I'm not sure

[06:11] <xtknight> CrimsonDork, oh cool
[06:12] <CrimsonDork> xtknight: Thanks a lot. ^^
[06:12] <icesword> ReXio, if you are on windows now,i recommend you google " md5sum"and test the iso,or re download if you have to
[06:12] <bazhang> !md5
[06:12] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[06:13] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, after downloading the packages, the first thing it asked for was to set the root password, so I have no idea why it is not working for you - is your system up-to-date?
[06:13] <ReXio> icesword: ok thx , Im running Ubuntu 7.04 Fasty Fawn right now
[06:13] <prettyricky> hey guys i have no sound it says something about audio being busy

[06:17] <fanin> my laptop wont boot from cd even if it is set as first boot order in bios.. can someone help me?
[06:17] <masaka> Beginner's question. My network card (Texas Instruments ACX 111) is supported "out of the box". I don't see the wireless icon on my Panel. Where do I start?
[06:17] <bazhang> DrBanzai: are you running compiz, awn or other cpu consuming widgets?
[06:18] <icesword> fanin, if you have to do livecd install,what about you try a external cd drive
[06:18] <DrBanzai> bazhang: Hmmm, I'm really sure.  It's a stock install of Gutsy for the AMD64...
[06:18] <googlingtingwana> Bidou, I think I've run out of ideas ... sorry
[06:18] <bazhang> masaka this is internal or pci card
[06:18] <DrBanzai> bazhang: But I do seem to recall turning on compiz
[06:18] <klw> moin
[06:18] <klw> gmorning
[06:19] <masaka> bazhand, PCCard in my laptop
[06:19] <fanin> icesword: i dont have one :/
[06:19] <bazhang> DrBanzai: can you open up a terminal and type top to see what is eating processes
[06:19] <icesword> fanin, what is wrong with your cd drive?why does it not boot
[06:19] <Bidou> googlingtingwana: thanks a lot for help me, i'll try to fix the problem later

[06:21] <masaka> bazhang: pci
[06:21] <DrBanzai> bazhang: Load Average: 0.51 0.39 0.24  pidgin is using 4%...that's the highest
[06:21] <klw> thx
[06:22] <icesword> fanin, you put that cd in drive ,if it is right,choose that livecd install,the first one,
[06:22] <bazhang> DrBanzai: that is odd; if you turn off compiz what are the results-- alt-f2 metacity --replace
[06:22] <klw> can i install  ubuntu as a multiboot on a vista harddrive ?
[06:22] <googlingtingwana> DrBanzai, I've had slow program startup issues when there have been problems with my network connectivity - don't know why it has this affect
[06:22] <bazhang> klw is vista already installed?
[06:23] <DrBanzai> googlingtingwana: I delt with those already.
[06:23] <klw> yes
[06:24] <fanin> icesword: i'm trying to install windoze on this one.. ubuntu works fine on it though
[06:24] <j_> hi is there a program for grammer check in office ...
[06:24] <icesword> fanin, ok here you go
[06:24] <masaka> bazhang: never mind, found the problem. wrong screen resolution, icon was out of visible screen!!!
[06:24] <j_> hi is there a program for grammar check in office?
[06:25] <bazhang> masaka: I have one of those cards the acx111 cards and have had very mixed results; in edgy it worked and feisty not, gave up and got a new card for gutsy and have not looked back--open up a terminal and type ifconfig and see if the card is recognized
[06:25] <DrBanzai> bazhang: It's a little bit faster...8 seconds of "Starting Terminal" Then 4 seconds of nothing
[06:25] <masaka> bazhang: it's working now, sorry for the confusion
[06:25] <bazhang> DrBanzai: what video card and what driver for getting compiz more in sync--its good that it is faster but still waaaay too slow
[06:25] <bazhang> masaka aha good news ;]
[06:26] <speeddemon8803> !accessability > speeddemon8803
[06:26] <jscinoz> What is the vga mode for 1280x800 32bit?
[06:26] <DrBanzai> bazhang: GeForce 7300 GS 256MB PCI-E 16x, and how do I check the driver?
[06:26] <fanin> icesword: ?
[06:27] <icesword> fanin, what is wrong
[06:27] <bazhang> klw if you put in the live cd then the installer for gutsy should see your vista install and ask you if want to resize the drive for the install, it will then add vista to the boot menu (grub) and then you can choose between the two at startup
[06:27] <fanin> icesword: just wondering what you mean.. "here you go"?
[06:28] <icesword> fanin, i mean you can go to windows ,if you don't like linux
[06:28] <ReXio> bazhang: oh thx! that helped me too xD
[06:28] <bazhang> DrBanzai: that is the exact same card I have and a slew of recent updates ruined my video, had to reinstall the drivers--are you able to view video no problem?
[06:28] <DrBanzai> bazhang: BTW, everything works perfectly fine once launched.
[06:28] <DrBanzai> Except youtube, yes
[06:29] <bazhang> DrBanzai: then there is a serious memory leak--and youtube not working has been fixed you just need to reinstall the flash plug in nonfree
[06:29] <fanin> icesword: i love linux but i have two other machines with ubuntu.. i just want to know how i can get the boot thing to work
[06:29] <icesword> fanin, what boot thing
[06:29] <bazhang> ReXio: for dual booting? good news then ;]
[06:30] <speeddemon8803> Where is the accessability team's room/channel?
[06:30] <bazhang> fanin you really need to explain your issue in some greater detail

[06:30] <bazhang> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ speeddemon8803
[06:31] <fanin> icesword: the boot order (first floppy, second CD, third HD) sorry i'm a total noob :)
[06:31] <sourcode> hi everyone
[06:31] <fanin> icesword: i set CD as first but it makes no difference
[06:31] <icesword> fanin, are you wondering about setting bios,choose the boot order
[06:32] <diegosouza> speeddemon8803, #ubuntu-accessibility
[06:32] <bazhang> fanin: if you describe the exact problems you are having with some greater detail then everyone can easily understand and contribute; but saying it does not work is not very helpful
[06:32] <friedtofu> fanin - shouldnt there be an option to just select a device to boot from from your bios?
[06:32] <icesword> fanin, did you save you set
[06:32] <j_> hi is there a program for grammar check in office?
[06:32] <speeddemon8803> you do realize that has absolutely nothing to do with what im asking....now THATS what i wanted.
[06:32] <sourcode> I have problem about vnc4server like this http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2007-April/057593.html
[06:32] <speeddemon8803> thanks diegosouza :)
[06:32] <bazhang> speeddemon8803: hmm, well sorry then
[06:32] <diegosouza> speeddemon8803, any time
[06:32] <friedtofu> i doubt oooffice has grammar check atm...
[06:32] <speeddemon8803> bazhang, i do thank you for trying though bud!
[06:32] <jscinoz> What is the vga mode for 1280x800 24/32bit?
[06:32] <sourcode> this is my config http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57786/  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57787/
[06:33] <bazhang> speeddemon8803: you can also check the channels by using the !irc command
[06:33] <diegosouza> jscinoz, its itself
[06:33] <icesword> !irc > icesword
[06:33] <speeddemon8803> bazhang, i never knew that was an ubotu command, and ive gone through ubotu's brain more than 100 times :P
[06:33] <bazhang> hehe
[06:34] <jscinoz> diegosouza, no i mean the 3 digit number you put on the kernel line in grub
[06:34] <speeddemon8803> !irc > speeddemon8803
[06:34] <fanin> i know how to set the boot order in BIOS and i did save it.. but it still wont work.. so, i was wondering if there where some other Ubuntu settings for doing so (hope you understand) :/
[06:34] <joanki> how can i get my sys to shutdownm in one hour?
[06:34] <diegosouza> jscinoz, ah... i'll try find it for u
[06:34] <joanki> sudo halt ???
[06:34] <jscinoz> thanks :)
[06:34] <blackman> crontab
[06:35] <icesword> fanin, sorry,that is it all,all of modern computers are the same,unless your cd is bad
[06:35] <jscinoz> joanki, sudo shutdown +60
[06:35] <cottima> does ubuntu have the rtc-cmos driver?
[06:35] <joanki> thanks jscinoz .... does halt not do it?
[06:35] <joanki> i thought i got it to work once
[06:35] <joanki> before
[06:35] <jscinoz> not sure
[06:35] <friedtofu> eh...
[06:35] <jscinoz> i just use shutdown instead
[06:35] <joanki> k thx
[06:36] <friedtofu> i think a better syntax is "sudo shutdown -h +60"
[06:36] <jscinoz> i believe either work :P
[06:36] <billy> why dont i have an /etc/iftab directory?
[06:36] <friedtofu> i tried it without the h one time, and the computer still had power :/
[06:37] <fanin> darn.. just checking if there was something different with ubuntu.. like i said im a total noob at it :)

[06:47] <Kasra_ubuntu> eeem I have a problem!
[06:47] <Kasra_ubuntu> can anyone help me?
[06:47] <mip> hardware related question: are tv tuner cards and dvb cards different or same ?
[06:48] <Slart> j_: you can try to find an online checker.. or just learn to write properly without software to aid you =)
[06:48] <bazhang> #users.openoffice.org can likely answer j_
[06:48] <diegosouza> Kasra_ubuntu, write and someone will try help u
[06:48] <DrBanzai> mip: Different
[06:48] <Kasra_ubuntu> OK!
[06:48] <bazhang> mip ask in #hardware
[06:49] <Slart> Kasra_ubuntu: nope.. my telepathy is a bit rusty... I'm not getting anything.. you'll have to tell me your question to old-fashioned way
[06:49] <Kasra_ubuntu> when I boot my Ubuntu I can't see ubuntu Logo (Splash screen)!what can I do?
[06:49] <Kasra_ubuntu> sorry for my bad English!
[06:49] <bazhang> ThreeFingerPete: the second core in no longer recognized? that is odd--what kernel do you have
[06:50] <Kasra_ubuntu> :-D
[06:50] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: i've always had the 386. now i cannot even find 686 with apt-get
[06:50] <diegosouza> Kasra_ubuntu, me too, just in my desktop, my laptop works fine... i think i've read about it
[06:50] <mindheavy> i have the package 'flashplugin-nonfree' installed but firefox will not display flash, is there more than just the package to install?
[06:50] <bazhang> ThreeFingerPete: what about the generic
[06:50] <diegosouza> Kasra_ubuntu, wait a moment
[06:50] <Kasra_ubuntu> OK!
[06:50] <Meshezabeel> When will the Pudgy Penguin release be out?
[06:51] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: i had whatever installs with the livecd
[06:51] <bazhang> uname -r in the terminal ThreeFingerPete
[06:51] <DrBanzai> bazhang: So how do I turn compiz back on?
[06:51] <bullgard4> Slart: man xserver says: " '-query hostname' enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the specified hostname." What is 'XDMCP'?
[06:51] <dan__> diegosouza: goto the adobe website, download the tar.gz file and install that... it will fix the problem
[06:51] <bazhang> Meshezabeel: funny but offtopic
[06:51] <bazhang> DrBanzai: alt f2 compiz --replace
[06:51] <diegosouza> dan_, no thanks
[06:51] <ThreeFingerPete> 2.6.22-14-386
[06:51] <Meshezabeel> bazhang, so was that
[06:52] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: 2.6.22-14-386
[06:52] <DrBanzai> bazhang: Thanks
[06:52] <Kasra_ubuntu> Waiting for response!
[06:52] <Slart> bullgard4: X Display Manager Control Protocol... not that I know what it does.. that's just from googling it
[06:52] <bazhang> DrBanzai: no worries ;]
[06:52] <Kasra_ubuntu> :-D
[06:52] <diegosouza> Kasra_ubuntu, what's your resolution?
[06:52] <illmorta1> can someone please help me remove network-manager-gnome please?.... via terminal.
[06:52] <bazhang> ThreeFingerPete: I have  a dual core here and am using the generic odd that you are not as well
[06:53] <bazhang> illmorta1: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[06:53] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: whats the apt-get line for the generic?
[06:53] <illmorta1> thank you!
[06:53] <bullgard4> Slart: Thank you very much for your help.
[06:53] <Slart> bullgard4: you're welcome to what little there was of it =)
[06:53] <diegosouza> Kasra_ubuntu, pvt
[06:54] <bazhang> ThreeFingerPete: I would search in synaptic for that or apt-cache search generic for the precise name--would be bad to install wrong one ;]
[06:54] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: thanks
[06:54] <lotia> folks, is there a way to list all the updates installed on a system? updated from base versions?
[06:55] <billy> what is the etc/iftab file?
[06:55] <bazhang> lotia all the updates or all the packages?
[06:55] <lotia> bazhang: all the updates
[06:56] <billy> bazhang: do you know what the iftab file is? in the etc/ directory?
[06:56] <Slart> billy: I don't think there is one in ubuntu.. look in /etc/networks/interfaces
[06:56] <xTheGoat121x> Can I safely remove the pulseaudio packages from synaptic?
[06:56] <billy> slart:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)#head-ecc5f9aed6064991e3dd658b6d1752acb3f63627

It is giving me an error when I try to change appearance, saying "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'" - could one of the updates be causing this?

[07:04] <mindheavy> dan__:  thanks for the link
[07:05] <diegosouza> rajaji, i think u just need the correct xen kernel image to boot, no one special hardware config
[07:05] <gold44> which tftpd show i install? there are couple in apt-cache
[07:05] <billy> bazhang: do you know what the replacement file for /etc/iftab is?
[07:06] <SimplySeth> where do I start looking on how to "blacklist" certain drives from automounting in GNOME ?
[07:06] <ReXio> ok guys... time to go sleep... tomorrow I will be right here again with a new fresh installation of Ubuntu xD
[07:06] <dan__> mindheavy: no problem... that will fix your issue... I have a better link if you want to fix more video feed problems youll probably encounter
[07:06] <diegosouza> rajaji, what xen image do u have?
[07:07] <skull-DT> skull
[07:07] <bazhang> skull-DT: have a support question?
[07:07] <diegosouza> rajaji, if u are running ubuntu 7.10 u should have installed the xen-image-2.6.19-4-generic package
[07:08] <Kasra_ubuntu> can anyone help me ?
[07:08] <Frogzoo> why'd they get rid of iftab? strangely it made sense, instead of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[07:08] <skull-DT> yeah
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae, xen-ioemu-3.0.3-1, xen-linux-system-2.6.20-1-xen-686,xen-utils-3.0.3-1

[07:09] <skull-DT> I was wondering how to triple boot between Vista XP and ubuntu
[07:09] <skull-DT> I already have Vista and Ubuntu running fine
[07:09] <bazhang> skull-DT: what do you have installed already
[07:09] <skull-DT> I want to add XP as a third
[07:10] <Andre^> I think you just have to install xp and add it to grub config
[07:10] <skull-DT> but if I install XP wont it take over the boot system
[07:10] <Andre^> (if you use it as boot manager)
[07:10] <bazhang> skull-DT: then you should ask in windows; it really is better to have both the windows systems first here is a link http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/hack-attack-how-to-tripleboot-windows-xp-vista-and-ubuntu-193474.php
[07:10] <diegosouza> rajaji, does was it installed through apt-get or aptitude?
[07:11] <rajaji> diegosouza:apt-get
[07:11] <skull-DT> ok bazhang thanx alot man
[07:11] <skull-DT> im just worried im gonna mess up my ubuntu
[07:11] <bazhang> skull-DT: come back if you have ubuntu questions ;]
[07:11] <SimplySeth> okay what is the daemon that controls automounting of drives ?
[07:11] <skull-DT> I will
[07:11] <xTheGoat121x> So, I've got an odd problem with Pulseaudio
[07:11] <bazhang> haha
[07:12] <bazhang> SimplySeth: what are you trying to do please explain clearly
[07:13] <diegosouza> rajaji, hum... it's new kernel boot ok?
[07:13] <bazhang> kasra_ubuntu what is your precise question please
[07:13] <rajaji> diegosouza:yes
[07:13] <SimplySeth> bazhang: trying to NOT mount /dev/sda1 and not mount /dev/sda7 (both windows volumes)
[07:13] <Andre^> skull-DT: see also here: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1
[07:13] <SimplySeth> bazhang: in GNOME/Nautilus
[07:13] <diegosouza> rajaji, hum... i'm sorry so... =/
[07:14] <bazhang> SimplySeth: you want them not to mount? edit your fstab then
[07:14] <skull-DT> ok thanx andre! im checking it right now
[07:14] <SimplySeth> bazhang: and there will be nothing that overrides my fstab ?
[07:14] <Andre^> np, I remember it supports linux too
[07:15] <bazhang> SimplySeth: as far as I am aware no
[07:15] <SimplySeth> bazhang: hmmm okay
[07:15] <diegosouza> rajaji, have u ever looked for that error message through google ?
[07:15] <bazhang> SimplySeth: keep in mind I dont use ##windows ;]
[07:16] <diegosouza> bazhang, hey... by the way have u ever read about the half open source m$ products ?
[07:17] <killown> hiffy, when  I click on icon show desktop my screelets hide . . do anyone know why it happen?
[07:17] <gold44> pstree did not show tftpd, what's the matter? sysvconfig says, it's ON. and i rebooted system
[07:17] <bazhang> xTheGoat121x: what is your problem with Pulseaudio? I dont know much about sound but perhaps others here can help if you state your problem clearly
 i am trying but not getting proper answer
[07:17] <xTheGoat121x> Hold that thought, bazhang
[07:17] <diegosouza> rajaji, ok
[07:18] <bazhang> diegosouza: ;]
 xen-hypervisor package is require for running guest os?
[07:20] <diegosouza> rajaji, i dont know
[07:21] <diegosouza> rajaji, take a look if u did same things: http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories
[07:22] <Templario> lol
[07:22] <Templario> niggers
[07:22] <Templario> Seveas, remove my ban
[07:22] <Templario> now
[07:22] <Templario> nigger
[07:22] <Templario> :/
[07:23] <diegosouza> rajaji, i think its more secure install xen through the task package called ubuntu-xen-server, surely it installs everything needed

[07:24] <ZXC314> hello everyone
[07:24] <diegosouza> ZXC314, hello
[07:25] <ZXC314> I have a question for anyone who is willing to help
[07:25] <ZXC314> I am a really new ubuntu user
[07:25] <Dritzen> Shoot
[07:25] <speeddemon8803> Zxc4314, please ask your question :)
[07:25] <ZXC314> trying to do a fresh install on a Dell Dimension 2400
[07:25] <billy> does anyone know much about the bcm43xx issues?
[07:25] <diegosouza> ZXC314, ok
[07:25] <ZXC314> (always love the open source community so helpful)
[07:25] <ZXC314> anyway
[07:25] <Meshezabeel> xTheGoat121x, what is your audio problem? I also have audio problems.
[07:26] <ZXC314> i go to the start or install option once the gui comes up
[07:26] <Dritzen> billy: I really hope you get that fixed, you're persistent, so good for you man.  I hope the new Ubuntu has that stuff built right in for ya
[07:26] <ZXC314> then it pulls up the Ubuntu thing and loading screen
[07:26] <diegosouza> ZXC314, ok, go more specific
[07:26] <ZXC314> anyway after the orange bar goes back and forth for a while and we start loading from left to right
[07:26] <billy> Dritzen: yeah.. im an "autodidact" if thats how you spell it..
[07:27] <ZXC314> it gets about 75% of the way
[07:27] <ZXC314> then stops
[07:27] <ZXC314> (cd drive stops totally)
[07:27] <ZXC314> just sits there
[07:27] <billy> Dritzen: anyways, when i do iwconfig, everything pops up, the only thing wrong is that no wireless networks show up...
[07:27] <ZXC314> any ideas?
[07:27] <diegosouza> ZXC314, dell dimension 2400 is a notebook ?
[07:27] <speeddemon8803> i have that same issue, except mine doesnt even get that far zxv314....oh wait...um...not that bad.
[07:27] <xTheGoat121x> Well... what happens is that when I boot, I get system sounds, and things like pidgin IM sounds, but if I try to play music or games, terminal informs me that the device is unavailable.
[07:27] <ZXC314> it's a desktop
[07:27] <Dritzen> Hm.. to be honest, I don't even use a wireless card in Ubuntu, so I don't have much experience with it
[07:28] <Meshezabeel> When I play audio in a java program it usually clips off the first half second and last half second of the audio file.
[07:28] <crow> I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it?
[07:28] <xTheGoat121x> I've noticed a call from sh to pulseaudio in my running processes, and if i kill it, I get my sound card back.
[07:28] <billy> anyone else?
[07:28] <Andre^> hm, I think I need to know where find a config file that runs gnome apps at login
[07:28] <diegosouza> ZXC314, have u ever took a look about parameters to boot?
[07:28] <Andre^> so I can comment/remove gnome-panels
[07:28] <ZXC314> diegosouza, no i haven't
[07:29] <ZXC314> diegosouza, not even sure what that is
[07:29] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: how much RAM ?
[07:29] <crow> anyone?
[07:29] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  I wonder if you are using OSS drivers instead of ALSA?  The old OSS drivers could only have one audio source at a time, so anything using sound would cause other programs to not be able to access your soundcard
[07:29] <bazhang> billy try to bring the card up with sudo dhclient eth1 (this may disconnect your ethernet though)
[07:29] <billy> whatam i looking for bahzang?
[07:30] <diegosouza> ZXC314, before u start u can press the Function keys (F1, F2, F3...) to read some interesting things
[07:30] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: i've seen this problem before online, specifically with Dell Dimension.  I think I even had this problem myself installing Ubuntu on one of those
[07:30] <ZXC314> 1024mb
[07:30] <ZXC314> also known as a GB
[07:30] <ZXC314> haha
[07:30] <speeddemon8803> prince_jammys, ive had it
[07:30] <prince_jammys> yeah
[07:30] <diegosouza> hehehe
[07:30] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  do you know the name of your soundcard in /etc/ ?  Is it /etc/dsp or what is it referenced as?  You can type fuser /etc/nameofyoursoundcard and it'll show what programs are using it at the time  (same goes for fuser /media/cdrom  to see what is using your cdrom, etc)
[07:30] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, nope.  I'm using ALSA, I know this for a fact.  It's that sh call that's killing me, and I don't know how to trace it down.
[07:30] <ZXC314> so any suggestions
[07:30] <billy> bahzang: it said no working leases in persistent database - sleeping
[07:30] <speeddemon8803> prince_jammys, i think we have all eventually ran into that at one time or another, could be wrong.
[07:31] <diegosouza> ZXC314, to do as a geek, google it and find the reason  :-p
[07:31] <ZXC314> not sure where to start though that's the problem I guess
[07:31] <bazhang> ZXC314: you can try with the acpi=off boot parameter or try booting in safe mode
[07:31] <diegosouza> ZXC314, there are a lot of blogs solving that king of problem
[07:31] <puff> firefox crashed ubuntu, I rebooted, started firefox, restored my session, it crashed again.  Anybody know how I could just list the open URLs from the shell, and then start firefox fresh?
[07:31] <billy> bahzang: it said no working leases in persistent database - sleeping
[07:31] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: i second that, unless someone here knows. there's also the alternate CD
[07:31] <Dritzen> puff:  Don't restore your session then
[07:32] <bazhang> billy are there any wireless hotspots where you are
[07:32] <Dritzen> puff:  Ah, didn't see that second part.. not sure about that
[07:32] <speeddemon8803> somene else here has possible solutions ZXC314, i would try them before going to google.
[07:32] <billy> bazhang:im connected to wireless on this comp right now
[07:32] <bazhang> google is if here fails
[07:32] <ZXC314> all good points
[07:32] <billy> bazhang: but the ubuntu comp wont find anything..
[07:32] <ZXC314> like I said just not sure where to start I guess
[07:32] <ere4si> trying to listen to streaming radio and only have a choice of win media player or real player - what can I use in ubuntu for this?
[07:32] <speeddemon8803> exactly
[07:32] <skull-DT> I also have a Xubuntu question
[07:33] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, how would I figure out which one is my sound card?
[07:33] <ZXC314> being that I basically have no prior linux knowledge
[07:33] <billy> bazhang: and its a totally unsecured network...
[07:33] <crow> I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it?
[07:33] <ZXC314> i tried other distros
[07:33] <ZXC314> mandriva, xubuntu, and even linspire
[07:33] <ZXC314> all booted to a live cd just fine
[07:33] <evilducky> skull-DT, there is a #xubuntu too if you like
[07:33] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: it looks from what i'm seeing online that the alternate CD will do it
[07:33] <bazhang> ere4si: for shoutcast and the like?
[07:33] <prince_jammys> !alternate | ZXC314
[07:33] <billy> bazhang: im totally stuck.. i don't know what to do from here...
[07:33] <ubotu> ZXC314: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[07:34] <billy> bazhang: it should be working
[07:34] <psilocyde> i get verry low sound with my intel-hda on gutsy
[07:34] <ere4si> bazhang, it is the abc radio in aus...
[07:34] <psilocyde> asla mixer master is at 00 and wont budge
[07:35] <ZXC314> ubotu, that is so weird though, live cd works on my dell laptop (inspiron 8500) and the dimension is just a P4 with a gig of ram nothing special or odd
[07:35] <billy> bazhang: any ideas?
[07:35] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: ubotu is a robot.
[07:35] <ere4si> bazhang, Choose a stream from below and click on the link. The media player of your choice should pop up and begin to play the stream. - and the choices are wmp or real
[07:35] <puff> I'm gonna have to back up all of my user files and do a fresh ubuntu install, sometime RSN.
[07:35] <speeddemon8803> !ubotu | zxc314
[07:35] <ubotu> zxc314: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:35] <psilocyde> how do i find out if there is a driver installed for it?
[07:35] <bazhang> billy you were talking about downgrading from your updates--I hope you did not try to do that
[07:35] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: i'd say that unless you get a specific answer here, the alternate CD is a good solution
[07:36] <ZXC314> oh weird (about ubotu)
[07:36] <billy> bazhang: i did a total reinstall, then didn't install the upgrades
[07:36] <speeddemon8803> I second that prince_jammys
[07:36] <ZXC314> does the alternate solve a lot of odd issues?
[07:36] <prince_jammys> speeddemon8803: :)
[07:36] <speeddemon8803> ZXC314, yes
[07:36] <ryzka> ryzka
[07:36] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  If you go to System, Preferences, Hardware information, then find your soundcard and go to Advanced, it will show you the device name.  For example, mine is called /etc/snd/seq
[07:36] <bazhang> ere4si: have you tried rhythmbox or amarok for that?
[07:36] <ZXC314> interesting
[07:36] <diegosouza> ZXC314, talk to ubotu... he's a cool bot hehehe
[07:36] <ZXC314> I'll have to read about the alternate cd then
[07:36] <Elda> quick question :s  Where would I find the gedit program on my hard drive?  I am trying to modify the registry setting so that in wine I can use that to bring up my text files instead of having the wine version of notepad to see if that can be done
[07:36] <Daisuke_Ido> puff: take a look at ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/sessionstore.js
[07:36] <ZXC314> hmmm riiiiiiight
[07:37] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: yeah the bot has the answers to certain FAQs and is invoked by keywords. i did !alternate and he told you the message
[07:37] <speeddemon8803> if your computer has less than the recommended ammount of ram for ubuntu, the alternative cd is your best friend...or xubuntu.
[07:37] <bazhang> alt f2 gedit Elda
[07:37] <ere4si> bazhang, r/box and vlc and nothing happens after they open
[07:37] <skull-DT> ok thanx evil
[07:37] <Elda> But WHERE on the hd is it located?
[07:37] <crow> can anyone help me?
[07:37] <billy> bazhang: i started from complete scratch, reinstalled from livecd and everything, installed the drivers like i did before, and it didn't work..
[07:37] <Elda> I know how to run it, lol
[07:37] <speeddemon8803> crow, did you tell us what you needed help with before?
[07:37] <psilocyde> low sound on my laptop under kubuntu 7.10? anyone?
[07:37] <Elda> Im trying to find where it is located though so I can edit the registry of wine to point to there when I open txt files
[07:37] <crow> I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it?
[07:37] <ZXC314> does anyone know any good small channels to chat with people about unbuntu
[07:37] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: it's also not necessarily a RAM issue.  I have had the same problem with a Dell Dimension, using the Live CD. But the alternate CD should work
[07:37] <billy> bazhang: ubuntu completely recognizes the card and the drivers are running, but i just cant connect to the internet or see any networks
[07:37] <crow> I did 2 times, this is 3th time
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> Elda: which gedit
[07:38] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  Actually, I found some other devices in /dev/snd
[07:38] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-386920.html
[07:38] <Elda> the gedit that comes up when you use the command line
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> ...
[07:38] <Gatton> whereis gedit
[07:38] <Elda> IE gedit ....
[07:38] <bazhang> heh
[07:38] <speeddemon8803> Crow, patience friend.
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> Elda: 'which gedit'
[07:38] <crow> k k
[07:38] <Elda> ah okey
[07:38] <speeddemon8803> We will eventually get to you.
[07:38] <ZXC314> prince_jammys, thanks I appreciate all the help, what you are doing really is what makes the open source community great
[07:38] <diegosouza> ZXC314, ubuntu-br, but in portuguese  ;-)
[07:38] <billy> bazhang?
[07:38] <Elda> thanks :)
[07:38] <speeddemon8803> your welcome ZXC314
[07:38] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: you're welcome, and come back and let us know
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> you're welcome Elda
[07:39] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, all right, hold on a second.
[07:39] <Elda> So basically when specifying it in the registry it would be Z:/usr/bin/gedit
[07:39] <puff> Daisuke_Ido:
[07:39] <puff> Daisuke_Ido: domo.
[07:39] <bazhang> billy no real experience with that card first hand--if the wiki does not help and you have blacklisted the driver and completely followed the ndiswrapper steps then not sure what to tell you
[07:40] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: as for the other chat question: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:40] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, only strings I get are /sys/devices/     strings
[07:40] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  I went to /dev/snd and typed:  fuser *   and it showed me that pcmC0D0p:             8495m    I'm running Exaile and playing audio through it, and I did ps aux | grep exaile and 8495 is the process ID, so that's how I can tell that exaile is using my audio
[07:40] <ArthurArchnix> !log | ArthurA
[07:40] <ubotu> ArthurA: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats »
[07:40] <skull-DT> ok the #xubuntu channel is dead...
[07:40] <billy> bazhang: i blacklisted the ndiswrapper and activated the bcm43xx drivers cuz thats what i know works, but it obviously doesn't now lol
[07:40] <ZXC314> thanks prince_jammys
[07:40] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: that deals with general ubuntu-related (but not support related) stuff
[07:40] <billy> alright well i need to get to bed.. gnight all
[07:40] <ZXC314> any idea how to add people as "friends" with irc (I'm new to that too)
[07:40] <bazhang> billy I meant the reverse
[07:41] <Flyerfye> guys
[07:41] <Flyerfye> nnvm
[07:41] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, aha, got it.  However, the problem still arises that I
[07:41] <Daisuke_Ido> puff: was that what you were looking for?
[07:41] <xTheGoat121x> don't know how to stop said process from running.
[07:41] <prince_jammys> ZXC314: that probably depends on the IRC app you're using.  check the help page for that app or specify which IRC client you use and someone might know
[07:42] <ZXC314> that seems fair
[07:42] <bazhang> ZXC314: the best way is to choose who is *not* a friend and put them on /ignore ;]
[07:42] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  The people that made fuser were clever.  It shows you what is accessing the device you inquire about.  However, you can use fuser -k devicename   and it'll KILL (stop) the process that is accessing it.   so for my example, if I typed fuser -k /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p   it will kill whatever program is accessing my soundcard
[07:43] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, that's pretty cool.  I never knew about that prog.
[07:43] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  To be honest, I just learned about it recently myself :)
[07:44] <diegosouza> ZXC314, first of all register your user, so u can chat private messages
[07:44] <puff> Daisuke_Ido: Yeah, now I just need to figure out how to parse it.
[07:44] <ZXC314> diegosouza, don't know how to register your user?
[07:44] <bazhang> !register
[07:44] <ubotu> By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname.
[07:44] <puff> Daisuke_Ido: Actually I'm thinking about taking a quick swack at writing a script (preferably perl) to extract the URLs from it,.
[07:44] <ZXC314> (I know I know I'm hopeless)
[07:45] <diegosouza> bazhang, youre quick  ;-)
[07:45] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  You could always write a simple bash script as well, to do that command before running your game, for example.
[07:45] <Jigs> hello there everyone... i am having problem mounting my windows partition.. any idea how to mount it again.. ?
[07:45] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, that's exactly what I'm doing right now, actually... LMAO!
[07:45] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  Personally, I use a script for all of my games to turn off compiz before I run them, then turn it back on 30 seconds after the game is finished :)
[07:45] <ZXC314> oh crap I definatley just registered myself as "nickname"
[07:46] <jorel> hi
[07:46] <speeddemon8803> zxc314, you probably didnt
[07:46] <Elda> well poo
[07:46] <diegosouza> jorel, hi
[07:46] <bazhang> ZXC314: no worries just type /nick newnick
[07:46] <Elda> It now tells me "gedit cannot handle z: locations
[07:46] <speeddemon8803> !register | zxc314

[07:47] <Elda> There is an 8.04 now?
[07:47] <bazhang> !hardy | jorel
[07:47] <speeddemon8803> !hardy | jorel
[07:47] <ubotu> jorel: 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
[07:47] <ZXC314> where is the vertical line
[07:47] <jorel> ok ok hardy ;)
[07:47] <diegosouza> ZXC314, aka pipe ?
[07:47] <Dritzen> jorel:  I am looking forward to it but I doubt many here could help you, most of us aren't running it yet
[07:47] <bazhang> above the enter key its called pipe ZXC314
[07:47] <speeddemon8803> anotherwords, jorel, not in here :)
[07:47] <Dritzen> Yep
[07:47] <ZXC314> huh thanks never used it before

[07:48] <diegosouza> ZXC314, that's great
[07:48] <ZXC314> !register | ZXC314
[07:48] <bazhang> very useful key, pipe
[07:48] <ZXC314> i'll keep that in mind
[07:48] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, I appreciate all your help.
[07:48] <diegosouza> ZXC314, no one linux user lives without the pipe key
[07:48] <ZXC314> so how do i know whether or not I am registered and have a nickname
[07:48] <jorel> i report my bug on ubuntu.com and somebody post me here i can help about
[07:48] <Dritzen> xTheGoat121x:  no problem, I hope it worked :)
[07:48] <ZXC314> (I will try to learn it well)
[07:48] <bazhang> ZXC314: you can also /msg ubotu register for a pm from the bot after you have registered and identified yourself
[07:49] <xTheGoat121x> Dritzen, well.. we shall see
[07:49] <ZXC314> coo
[07:49] <ZXC314> *cool
[07:49] <blackman> !register | blaq

[07:49] <bazhang> ZXC314: try this /msg NickServ IDENTIFY yourpasshere
[07:49] <ZXC314> do you have to do that in every channel and or server? register and get a nickname and stuff
[07:50] <speeddemon8803> no, you register once and you are done.
[07:50] <jtslade> Anyone knows the solution to the problem with Mics on Dell XPS laptops?
[07:50] <ZXC314> nice
[07:50] <jorel>              mattikoo          wrote     14 hours ago:                        (permalink)                       Screen errors was solved in #ubuntu.
[07:50] <speeddemon8803> after that you type in /msg nickserv identify <password you set up during registration>
[07:50] <bazhang> ZXC314: no just the once, then when you login you have to identify yourself though some irc clients allow autoidentify
[07:50] <ZXC314> so now I can talk to people idividually?
[07:51] <bazhang> if you have id'd yourself yes ZXC314
[07:51] <ZXC314> (my eyebrow is raised in confusion)
[07:51] <ZXC314> I thought I did that

[07:58] <Flyerfye> Dear Ubuntu gurus, how do I connect to an IRC when Im on a VPN connection at a college.  When I was using Vista I managed to do this but it the client I was using (mIRC) had to try(or retry) many different ports(or times) before it would conenct whichever it was, I am not sure.  But I know it was possible, Im just wondering how I do it now
[07:59] <ZXC314> so when i am in the server how do I register, pick a nicknae and a pass?
[07:59] <ZXC314> then I can talk to people idividually?

[08:03] <Cew27> bazhang: how do i change that boot parameter
[08:03] <ZXC314> duh haha
[08:03] <Jigs> prince_jammy: still no result sir
[08:03] <bazhang> see above ZXC314
[08:03] <ZXC314> !register
[08:03] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok we need to add a line to fstab
[08:03] <jackie> How can I reinstall libgtk without removing all dependent applications
[08:03] <Jigs> prince_jammy: ok ok
[08:04] <prince_jammys> Jigs: first you have to create a directory where you want the partition mounted.  for example /media/windows
[08:04] <bazhang> Cew27: do you see the screen start or install ubuntu?
[08:04] <skull-DT> is it possible to assign the Scale Compiz-fusion effect to a mouse button instead of the weird keyboard combinations??
[08:04] <Jigs> prince_jammy: k
[08:04] <prince_jammys> Jigs: like this::  mkdir /media/windows
[08:04] <prince_jammys> Jigs: sudo mkdir /media/windows
[08:04] <Cew27> yeh
[08:05] <bazhang> skull-DT: not sure about that; I always just assign a screen corner (eg top right) for that
[08:05] <Cew27> bazhang: no wait all i see is start ubuntu there is no install option
[08:05] <Dritzen> skull-dt:  I use the corners of my screen
[08:05] <skull-DT> ohh good idea
[08:05] <skull-DT> how do I do that?
[08:05] <bazhang> Cew27: there should be some options at the bottom of the screen f2 etc do you see them?
[08:05] <Jigs> prince_jammy: ok windows dir created, i can see it now in the media dir where i was now mean am in the filesystem
[08:06] <Dritzen> skull-dt: Press alt-f2 and type ccsm
[08:06] <bazhang> skull-DT: go to the plugin click it in the ccsm and then assign the screen corner you want under keybindings
[08:06] <prince_jammys> Jigs ok now:: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab         and a text editor should pop up with the fstab file
[08:06] <skull-DT> ok let me try that
[08:06] <ZXC314> bazhang, the info you gave me the link to tells me stuff but not how to actually register the name
[08:06] <ZXC314> just the password and my e-mail and stuff
[08:07] <Jigs> prince_jammy: yeah its open now
[08:07] <prince_jammys> Jigs: any particular permissions you want to set? read-write, etc?
[08:07] <gnychis> i want to use the Guided disk space partition option, but I want to format as reiserfs, not ext3 ... is there any way to simply change this without having to manually setup all the partitions?
[08:07] <Cew27> bazhang: im not on the live cd now but im sure i will be able to what do i do from there can you type a little list of instructions
[08:07] <Dritzen> skull-dt:  Once CCSM is open, go to scale, Actions, General, and you can set the screen corner settings there.  I use bottom right for window picker for all windows, and then I use the bottomleft corner for the plugin called "expo", it works well
[08:08] <Jigs> prince_jammy: this is the place where i have to put the partition of windows?
[08:08] <skull-DT> nice it worked!
[08:08] <skull-DT> thanks I lke it like this
[08:08] <skull-DT> its nice
[08:08] <bazhang> ZXC314: try this: /msg nickserv register <your-password>
[08:08] <skull-DT> thank you guys
[08:08] <prince_jammys> Jigs: yes, i'll paste the line for you after you answer a couple of questions
[08:08] <ZXC314> is that for my actual nick name not "you-password" as it would suggest?
[08:08] <prince_jammys> Jigs: do you want to read and write to the partition or just read?
[08:08] <bazhang> ZXC314: then this /msg nickserv set hide email on
[08:08] <Jigs> prince_jammy: do i have to answer the first question?
[08:09] <Dritzen> skull-dt:  This guy wrote a pretty nice compiz guide, check it out  http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion
[08:09] <bazhang> ZXC314: no choose a password
[08:09] <prince_jammys> Jigs: huh?
[08:09] <Jigs> prince_jammy: oh well nvm
[08:09] <ZXC314> got it got it
[08:09] <ZXC314> so now that i fucked that up
[08:09] <Jigs> prince_jammy: just go ahead, whats next?
[08:09] <skull-DT> ok Dritzen I'll check it out thx
[08:09] <ZXC314> so i can make my password something else how do i do that
[08:09] <bazhang> ZXC314: then finally this
[08:09] <bazhang> #
[08:09] <bazhang>     /msg nickserv set email <your-email-address>
[08:10] <prince_jammys> Jigs: type in a different terminal::  echo $UID
[08:10] <prince_jammys> Jigs: probably 1000
[08:10] <unimatrix9> hello all
[08:10] <Dritzen> Hey unimatrix9
[08:10] <Jigs> prince_jammys: yup ur ryt
[08:10] <aghachi> where can i add for more sources for nvidia graphics card
[08:10] <bazhang> ZXC314: then last do /msg nickserv identify (the password you chose here)
[08:10] <Jigs> prince_jammys: i got 1000
[08:10] <unimatrix9> i have an older ubuntu version wich does not have lstree, is there an way to get it installed?
[08:11] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok, now i missed whether you want to be able to write to this partition
[08:11] <Jigs> prince_jammys: just wanna used the windows partition in normal way
[08:11] <Dritzen> unimatrix9:  I'm running 7.10 and I don't seem to have lstree either, let's see
[08:12] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok after the last line in the fstab file you opened, paste the line i'm about to post
[08:12] <unimatrix9> i treid apt-get install lstree, but that did not work , either
[08:12] <bazhang> Cew27: you still around? the boot parameters (cant remember the exact one atm) are listed at the bottom of that screen and one of the choices is boot apci=off choose that then try continuing
[08:12] <prince_jammys> Jigs:/dev/hda1       /media/windows    ntfs-3g  uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002     0       0
[08:12] <bazhang> unimatrix9: which version of ubuntu
[08:13] <unimatrix9> edgy
[08:13] <ZXC314> bazhang, did you get that message
[08:13] <ZXC314> I believe i am all registered up!
[08:13] <bazhang> ZXC314: aye
[08:13] <unimatrix9> i know its old, but rock solid...:)
[08:13] <skull-DT> by the way, whats a splash screen?
[08:13] <Dritzen> unimatrix9:  I didn't find any reference to lstree by using apt-cache search lstree , nor did I find it in synaptic.  I found a page on sun's website,  http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/jsp/descFile.jsp?url=descAll/lstree_print_direct    however, I haven't used this, not sure how much I'd trust it
[08:13] <Jigs> prince_jammys: ok done, but what is umask=002?
[08:13] <Cew27> bazhang: ok will do what does that change/do ?
[08:14] <lesshaste_> are there any problems with solid state drives in linux? I am thinking of getting a toshiba r500-126
[08:14] <prince_jammys> Jigs: it means your user and your group can read, write and execute files in there. other users can only read and execute
[08:14] <unimatrix9> i thought lstree to be standerd in any linux distro, but i guess i am wrong
[08:14] <vawksel> Is there a key to push to active the "Start" menu -- I am on LinuxMint (Gnome).   I tried the Windows key, no go.
[08:14] <Jigs> prince_jammys: ok nice ncie
[08:14] <Dritzen> unimatrix9:  I know pstree is installed by default for sure :)
[08:14] <unimatrix9> ah , okey, that good too
[08:14] <unimatrix9> thanks for the tip
[08:14] <DASPRiD> Jigs, umask is the oposite of chmod, see: 777 - 002
[08:15] <prince_jammys> Jigs: make sure the last line in fstab is blank (ie there is one empty line at the very end)
[08:15] <bazhang> Cew27: that may solve the issue you are having, though just as a failsafe you may want to check out the alternate cd and stay away from Mint (its slow) ;]
[08:15] <unimatrix9> cool, yeah thats it...
[08:15] <unimatrix9> thanks again
[08:15] <vawksel> bazhang, mint is slow?
[08:15] <Dritzen> unimatrix9:  no problem
[08:15] <prince_jammys> Jigs: make sure the line is exactly like the one i pasted, and save the file
[08:15] <vawksel> hrm
[08:15] <Jigs> prince_jammys: already check, same as the last line b4 i put the new string..
[08:15] <Gatton> i didn't find mint any slower than ubuntu
[08:15] <Cew27> bazhang: mint is slow?! all teh reviews i have heard say its faster than ubuntu
[08:16] <vawksel>  Is there a key to push to active the "Start" menu -- I am on LinuxMint (Gnome).   I tried the Windows key, no go.
[08:16] <bazhang> vawksel: yes, afraid so; why have mint when you can get the original? ;]
[08:16] <vawksel> bazhang: mint is slow?
[08:16] <vawksel> bazhang: hrm
[08:16] <Dritzen> vawksel:  Press alt-f1
[08:16] <unimatrix9> bye all
[08:16] <DASPRiD> vawksel, exchange the windows key with a linux key ;)
[08:16] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok you can close the editor and go to a terminal and type:::  sudo mount /media/windows
[08:16] <Jigs> prince_jammys: already checked, no emptry line there
[08:16] <Gatton> original? heh you mean Debian? ;-)
[08:17] <prince_jammys> Jigs: if there's no empty line, hit enter after the last line so you have a blank line at the bottom
[08:17] <vawksel> hrm, Alt-F1 seems to mostly do the trick.
[08:17] <Dritzen> vawksel:  Alt-F1 is the Gnome shortcut to get the applications menu open.  You could go into the gnome keyboard shortcuts section and rebind it I suppose
[08:17] <bazhang> vawksel: and Cew27 from long personal experience it is slower but this is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic ;]
[08:17] <DASPRiD> Dritzen, i wouldn't do that, <super> is the standard key for most compiz operations
[08:18] <Dritzen> DASPRiD:  I was thinking that it would be a major pain in the butt, personally but who knows if he's using compiz at all
[08:18] <vawksel> Well, Alt-F1 launches the app menu, but not the same functionality.  I want the search box, so I can type "net" and see NetBeans appear... I tried using Alt-F1, it doesn't go to NetBeans, but typing "Calc" does show the calculator
[08:18] <Jigs> prince_jammys: Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
[08:18] <prince_jammys> Jigs: so it's already mounted?
[08:19] <prince_jammys> Jigs: wait
[08:19] <prince_jammys> Jigs: type:: pwd
[08:19] <Dritzen> vawksel:  The run command is Alt-F2 but I don't think it autocompletes commands for you
[08:19] <vawksel> Dritzen: maybe this is a linux mint thing?   In the main "menu", there is a search box, you type and the results on the right in real time whittle down.
[08:19] <ArthurArchnix> !mint | vawksel
[08:19] <ubotu> vawksel: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate
[08:20] <prince_jammys> Jigs: or if you browsed to /media/windows from the file browser, get out of that directory
[08:20] <magret> hello mates, is there no linux support for the nvidia 8800 GS card?
[08:20] <Jigs> prince_jammys: i can see the drive but like what  ive said recently theres an error ,  "cannot mount volume"
[08:20] <vawksel> ArthurArchnix: true -- I was thinking this was universal for gnome/ubuntu though
[08:20] <Dritzen> vawksel:  I think it's Linuxmint, it doesn't look anything like that in Ubuntu, at least not for me personally
[08:20] <vawksel> ArthurArchnix: maybe i'll uninstall linux mint then and go straight ubuntu.
[08:20] <vawksel> Dritzen: ah ok, that makes more sense then.
[08:20] <prince_jammys> Jigs: if you have any file browser that is presently inside that directory, move out of it. if you have any terminal inside that directory, type ::  cd
[08:21] <vawksel> Dritzen: well, it's a really slick feature, ubuntu dev's should copy it ;-)
[08:21] <prince_jammys> Jigs: it can'
[08:21] <vawksel> Dritzen: its kinda like QuickSilver (OS X) if you know what im talking about
[08:21] <prince_jammys> Jigs: it can't be mounted while that folder is open
[08:21] <Dritzen> vawksel:  Sure.  Sounds like a useful feature, I hope they do copy it
[08:21] <Gatton> vawksel, yep it's a neat feature. i'm using gnome-do to get similar functionality
[08:21] <Jigs> prince_jammys: o ic, i'll check it
[08:22] <vawksel> Gatton: gnome-do?  I haven'e heard of that.
[08:22] <DASPRiD> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo
[08:22] <Gatton> vawksel, it's a launcher like quicksilver. very basic but it does the trick
[08:22] <vawksel> Gatton: oh wow, do.davebsd.com (gnome-do) looks fantastic.
[08:22] <Carbonflux> magret, the 8800 series is supported by the nVidia binary driver, you can get at it using the restricted drivers manger in system->settings->administration
[08:22] <vawksel> yeah it looks great
[08:22] <vawksel> thats what I want
[08:22] <Gatton> i just installed it today. i'm liking it
[08:22] <gwork> Jigs: on the console try something like "sudo lsof | grep <insert-directory-name-here>" you should see what processes have the open handle
[08:23] <Jigs> prince_jammys: ok
[08:23] <vawksel> Gatton: sweet, im going to do the same right now.
[08:23] <ArthurArchnix> Gnome DO:   http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22GNOME+Do%22+launchpad.net%20gc+OR+davebsd.com&num=10&so=4&start=0#2242004396426427605
[08:23] <prince_jammys> Jigs: success?
[08:23] <karuna_bdc> does anyone know any good websites to learn linux from scratch (as in how it works and all?)
[08:23] <Jigs> prince_jammys: not yet pls w8
[08:23] <Gatton> vawksel, cool. have fun it's a pretty neat app
[08:23] <DASPRiD> karuna_bdc, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[08:23] <bazhang> karuna_bdc: their home page
[08:24] <karuna_bdc> wow, didnt know that page existed...
[08:24] <Gatton> doggone it i've been saying i'm gonna do LFS for years! one day :-)
[08:24] <Dritzen> magret:  I just looked on nvidia's site and they have the 8800 GS listed, looks like it is supported
[08:24] <flowOver> i found out why my vbox was crashing constantly
[08:24] <ArthurArchnix> uhhh... that's some horrible screencast work. I'm having to repress my gag relfex to see how cool gnome do is...
[08:24] <ApOgEE-> karuna_bdc, download the LFS book, you'll love it
[08:24] <flowOver> in xp, you need show windows while dragging turned on, or else it's buggy
[08:25] <DASPRiD> flowOver, gnome-do for winxp?
[08:25] <Jigs> prince_jammys: sir i used the command like this > sudo lsof | grep /media/windows no result
[08:25] <Gatton> in winxp you want launchy for that kinda thing :-)
[08:25] <prince_jammys> Jigs: try mounting again with::  sudo mount /media/windows
[08:26]  * Gatton got hooked on the launcher thing with LaunchBar on OSX
[08:26] <Gatton> takes all day to go through menus! :-)
[08:26] <flowOver> gnome wha?  I'm a newbie linux desktop user.  most experience in command line linux.  i only just made the switch to ubuntu after having crossed paths with it a few times with good experiences... kind of
[08:26] <Jigs> prince_jammys: already did, same result, i better restart my pc then i'll come back here
[08:26] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok come back and let me know
[08:26] <Dritzen> Night all
[08:27] <onefunk> anyone know of a macdrive equivalent for ubuntu
[08:27] <bazhang> cya
[08:27] <ArthurArchnix> !goodbye | bazhang
[08:27] <bazhang> what is macdrive onefunk
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about goodbye - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <ArthurArchnix> oh
[08:27] <ArthurArchnix> :(
[08:28]  * DASPRiD pats ArthurArchnix 
[08:28] <onefunk> bazhang: it's a prog that allows me acces my mac formatted drive on pc
[08:29] <DASPRiD> really, who wants to access a mac? :P
[08:29] <pbne04> when I change graphics card driver under system-->administration-->screens and graphics, it doesnt save the settings - how do I fix this?
[08:29] <gnychis> how do i get the update manager to start using the internet and stop using the cdrom? for example when i do sudo apt-get update it does "Ign cdrom:// ....."
[08:29] <bazhang> onefunk: hfs+ not sure there
[08:29] <onefunk> hah... i have tones of media that i need off it and we work cross platform with my project
[08:29] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add a # in front of any deb.cdrom
[08:29] <Jigs> prince_jammys: sir same error
[08:29] <prince_jammys> Jigs: any luck? if not, you should paste the contents of fstab here
[08:29] <Arelis> Hi people. I'm trying to run compiz on Ubuntu gutsy. It does it's usual checks, succeeds, but then fails to find compiz. this is the error message: /usr/bin/compiz: 378: /usr/local/bin/compiz: not found <-- how can i fix that one?
[08:30] <Jigs> prince_jammys: ok
[08:30] <xiven> Hello
[08:30] <vawksel> Gnome-Do is great, I got it up and running and it works really well
[08:30] <prince_jammys> Jigs: do ::  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and paste in the paste bin
[08:30] <Jigs> prince_jammys: w8
[08:30] <prince_jammys> !paste | Jigs

[08:30] <ArthurArchnix> Arelis: You can try reinstalling compiz
[08:30] <xiven> I just upgraded to Gutsy, and...kdm starts up..but i get a shell screen, saying "No Screens Found"..how do I fix this?
[08:30] <Gatton> onefunk, this page might have some useful info?  http://fosswire.com/2007/09/12/dealing-with-mac-formatted-drives-on-linux/
[08:30] <Jigs> prince_jammys: heres the result of the mount > Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
[08:30] <Arelis> ArthurArchnix: what packages?
[08:30] <Jigs> Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
[08:30] <Jigs>           clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
[08:30] <Jigs>           taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
[08:30] <Jigs> Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
[08:30] <Jigs>           your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:
[08:30] <FloodBot3> Jigs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:31] <karuna_bdc> is it quicker to install packages from terminal?
[08:31] <DASPRiD> ^_°
[08:31] <DASPRiD> karuna_bdc, yes
[08:31] <simplexio> Arelis: that /usr/bin/compiz script trys to start compiz from wrong place, locate compiz executable and modify script
[08:31] <Gatton> karuna_bdc, once you are used to typing it synaptic seems dog slow
[08:32] <Jigs> o boi
[08:32] <xiven> Did anyone see my post?
[08:32] <ArthurArchnix> Arelis: I think it would be: sudo apt-get --reinstall compiz* --purge   but wait a tic and see if someone corrects me.
[08:32]  * DASPRiD is too lazy to correct ArthurArchnix 
[08:32] <karuna_bdc> DASPRiD: ah no wonder. the package manager takes forever, Time to fire up the terminal!
[08:33] <DASPRiD> karuna_bdc, hehe
[08:33] <DASPRiD> why the heck isn't gnome-do in the repos btw?
[08:33] <onefunk> gatton: thanks cheers
[08:33] <ArthurArchnix> Arelis: reinstal does what it says, compiz* means reinstall everything with compiz in its name, and --purge means ignore all my old settings, restore to default.
[08:34] <prince_jammys> Jigs: hold on, i'm seeing what this message is about
[08:34] <icesword> hello
[08:34] <ArthurArchnix> Arelis: You may need to restart x to take effect. Either logout and back in or hti ctrl alt backspace

[08:35] <scraga2> I keep getting errors from apt-get and synaptic, "Unable to copy the user's Xautorization file." what have I done wrong?
[08:35] <prince_jammys> Jigs: ok first let's double-check by pasting in the pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org  ) the entire contents of the fstab file.  you can open it with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[08:36] <gnychis> how do i change mirrors for my repository access?
[08:36] <ArthurArchnix> Arelis: If you don't want to do it from the command line, just go into synaptic, search for compiz, and reinstall.

[08:41] <prince_jammys> Jigs: very good
[08:41] <bazhang> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ add your ideas here DASPRiD ;]
[08:42] <Cew27> idyllic: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57796/
[08:42] <DASPRiD> bazhang, ah ^^
[08:42] <panosru> bazhang yes it is bad... now after i login to my account nothing works, i can't click anyware its like a frozen graphic only mouse works and keyboard
[08:42] <Gatton>  mmm frozen bubble. almost as addictive as peggle
[08:42] <gorbier1> hi
[08:42] <speart> hi all
[08:42] <boohoo> my permission for a directory (d---rwxr-- 3 root     mygroup)
[08:43] <boohoo> isn't that world readable?
[08:43] <gorbier1> how do i change my gnome language within terminal?
[08:43] <idyllic> Cew27: comment out line 12 to line 21, by adding a # infront
[08:43] <idyllic> Cew27: reboot and voila
[08:45] <panosru> bazhang this is what i'm geting: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:45] <bazhang> panosru: you could try booting up in cli mode and try to continue the dist-upgrade from there
[08:45] <speart> anyone oc with ubuntu?
[08:46] <flowOver> the 'taskbar' or whatever it's called at the bottom.  how can i style that like i can window borders
[08:46] <boohoo> does CD require executable bit also set?
[08:46] <bazhang> speart you have an actual question?
[08:47] <panosru> bazhang i boot in recovery mode and from there i tried "dpkg --conficure -a" but didn't work i tried "apt-get install -f" but this didn't work to neither "aptitude disk-upgrade" worked... :(
[08:47] <DASPRiD> bazhang, done :)
[08:47] <speart> bazhang, just wanted to compare results, or get to know new tools
[08:47] <DASPRiD> bazhang, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1136/ you surely vote yes for it? ;)
[08:47] <prince_jammys> boohoo: yes
[08:48] <Cew27> idyllic: ok done that, now is there anyway to speedup boot time at the moemtn it is about 30 seconds to login screen and then 10 after that
[08:48] <bazhang> DASPRiD: of course ;]
[08:48] <boohoo> prince_jammys: ahh explains it
[08:48] <prince_jammys> boohoo: :)
[08:49] <boohoo> i was pulling my hair off
[08:49] <idyllic> Cew27: okay, my laptop also boot in about 30 secons
[08:49] <prince_jammys> boohoo: yeah, x has special meaning when it comes to dirs
[08:49] <mkquist> speart: u mean overclock?
[08:49] <speart> mkquist, yeah
[08:49] <idyllic> Cew27: there are several links floating around for you to reduce boot times, i didnt bookmark those. You should google urself, cos i need to go off.
[08:49] <DASPRiD> bazhang, bah you voted it down, didnt you? :P
[08:50] <bazhang> DASPRiD: not voted yet ;]
[08:50] <DASPRiD> hm, ok, then the brainstorm users are quite active ;)
[08:50] <Cew27> idyllic: ok
[08:50] <boohoo> prince_jammys: but, shouldn't i be able to vi a file in that directory?
[08:51] <speart> any tools for measuring system temps?
[08:51] <mkquist> speart: cause thats a whole new set of problems...  you can create all sorts of probs w/oc'ing, but if your willing to do that you can't blame the OS, you just pushing things and I doubt you'll get much help w/that.. just my opinion...
[08:51] <boohoo> even if the directory is not executable
[08:51] <wols> !lm-sensors
[08:51] <ubotu> You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[08:52] <goniochromism> i'm downloading the current hardy daily
[08:52] <prince_jammys> boohoo: mmm good question. i don't know. you could make a couple of test dirs and see :)
[08:52] <goniochromism> has anyone tried it out yet here?
[08:52] <mkquist> speart: btw, ive done that in the past, but w/the proc speeds as they are now, I just don't see much point...
[08:52] <prince_jammys> boohoo: you're right, i would think you could access the file directly
[08:52] <wols> mkquist: getting a 3GHz cpu for 60EUR
[08:53] <speart> mkquist, I know what to do, I run mem test and my motherboard bios is quite extensive. I run boinc and various java ides, there is a great speed boost for a 500MHZ dual core oc.
[08:53] <mkquist> wols: well, uno your trying to cheat, now... idk... past me i think (speed is sooo cheap i think)
[08:53] <wols> mkquist: my wallet of course!
[08:53] <boohoo> prince_jammys: but if a file in a non-readable directory is world-readable, is it really world readable?
[08:53] <boohoo> or only by the people who can enter the directory?
[08:53] <speart> it's nice to have desktop tools for tracking the system
[08:53] <prince_jammys> boohoo: it could have to do with conflicting permissions in your user/group (a guess)
[08:54] <mkquist> speart: last time i bothered it was like and amd k6-2 350, ran at like 550, but I just don't see the need anymore... so g/l with that..  IMHO it's just easier to upgrade
[08:54] <prince_jammys> boohoo: my understanding was that you could access it directly, even if the parent dir is not readable. but i definitely could be wrong on that
[08:54] <speart> mkquist, but that's not fun
[08:55] <gold44_> .
[08:55] <Wobbo> !dvd | Wobbo
[08:56] <bazhang> goniochromism: you should check #ubuntu+1
[08:56] <LDS_Trooper> I need the terminal command to remove a directory
[08:56] <speart> and just for the record, my system is more stable with overclocking
[08:56] <LDS_Trooper> please
[08:56] <bashca> hi there
[08:56] <prince_jammys> LDS_Trooper: rm -r dir_name
[08:56] <mkquist> wols: just seems like speed is soo cheap that the downsides now don't justifye the returns.  I'm of the opion that the OC's from the past made it clear to the proc companies that they had more to get. so now they (the companies themselves) are pushing so hard its lucky to get much out of an OC
[08:57] <bashca> LDS_Trooper,  #rm -Rf  dir
[08:57] <LDS_Trooper> prince_jammys thanks
[08:57] <goniochromism> cd #ubuntu+1
[08:57] <goniochromism> oops
[08:57] <mkquist> wols: but i could be wrong of course
[08:57] <bazhang> haha
[08:57] <bazhang> goniochromism: too much time in the terminal ;] /join
[08:58] <mkquist> wols: its like by the time u spend to make a system OC u can just spen almost the same to upgrade w/o the headaches
[08:58] <mkquist> spend* sry
[08:58] <bazhang> !ot
[08:58] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:59] <mkquist> wols: just my opinion at this point...  returns not being justified anymore... unless its just for fun..
[08:59] <speart> ok dropping this topic, but it took me just 15 minutes to tweak the system
[08:59] <bazhang> mkquist: see above
[09:00] <mkquist> bazhang: above? which.. now im curious... not like i wouldtnt like to cheat some speed myself...
[09:00] <bazhang> the offtopic part ;]
[09:00] <mkquist> the !ot?
[09:00] <wols> yes
[09:01] <speart> i'm there fellow ocers
[09:01] <wols> speart: have you seen the factoid?
[09:01] <mkquist> so ubuntu+1?
[09:01] <speart> #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:01] <wols> mkquist: your babble is OT on any channel
[09:01] <wols> you can annyo ##hardware if you insist tho
[09:01] <mkquist> of course, but..
[09:01] <wols> please drop it already
[09:02] <mkquist> wols: i wasnt babbling about OC'ing.. someone else was...  I was just thowing my 2 cents in..
[09:02] <wols> the other guy was sorta on topic. you weren
[09:02] <wols> t
[09:02] <mkquist> ic ok
[09:02] <wols> speart: did you see the factoid?
[09:03] <mkquist> wols: wait how was i off? wasnt trying to be i assure.
[09:03] <speart> yeah wols
[09:03] <mkquist> sry if i got that wrong. not intentional to be sure
[09:04] <wols> mkquist: go finally away. please
[09:04] <mkquist> please
[09:04] <mkquist> dont be rude
[09:04] <wols> you are still OT ffs!
[09:04] <mkquist> fine done then
[09:05] <ThreeFingerPete> if i copy my partitions to a second drive; and later copy it back, will it be functional?
[09:06] <bazhang> ThreeFingerPete: your /home?
[09:08] <ThreeFingerPete> bazhang: dont you ever leave chat? :) no, i got full compiz working with 7.10 and a radeon 9600 card. but my game needs the opengl resources. I dont want to go through that config nightmare. I've been doing it since i got the dual core working again
[09:09] <mkquist> join #ot
[09:09] <cerberus> does it possible to restart server(restart the computer) from romote access via terminal ?
[09:09] <mkquist> sry
[09:09] <allorder> why ubuntu doesnt have an integrated firewall ?
[09:09] <wols> cerberus: sudo shutdown -r now
[09:09] <wols> allorder: what do you need one for?
[09:09] <pecisk_> cerberus: sudo reboot
[09:09] <simplexio> ThreeFingerPete: yes, but watch user rights
[09:09] <wols> and it does btw
[09:09] <ThreeFingerPete> allorder: it doesnt need it
[09:09] <bazhang> allorder iptables is it; you can use firestarter as a gui
[09:09] <simplexio> allorder: it dosn't need it
[09:10] <prince_jammys> !firewall | allorder
[09:10] <ubotu> allorder: 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).
[09:10] <simplexio> allorder: and iptbles is there
[09:10] <pecisk_> allorder: would be nice to have, but there is no real pressure to do it, as Ubuntu follow zero ports open policy by default
[09:10] <allorder> iptables isnt user friendly
[09:10] <simplexio> allorder: try firestarter
[09:10] <wols> allorder: a firewall is not for users?
[09:10] <pecisk_> allorder: install Firestarter
[09:10] <simplexio> allorder: firewall settings shouldn't be something that users config
[09:10] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install firestarter allorder ;]
[09:11] <allorder> thx but why it doesnt need it
[09:11] <simplexio> allorder: no open ports as default
[09:12] <ThreeFingerPete> allorder: some users might open ports and then need a firewall
[09:12] <pecisk_> allorder: because there is no open ports by default and all security issues, if there are any, aren't related to firewall.
[09:12] <sysadmin-lb22> does ipw2200 on ubuntu support injection ? or do I have to patch it ?
[09:13] <allorder> ya but unknown security issue will be protected with firewall..
[09:13] <mkquist> allorder: firewall is part of linux, so u don't need to worry about it unless u need to manually configure..  It's called iptables
[09:13] <Gatton> nighters
[09:13] <bazhang> allorder this is not ##windows ;]
[09:13] <pecisk_> allorder: says who? with no ports open, there is nothing for firewall to protect
[09:14] <pecisk_> allorder: uknown security problem can be only local user root exploit, DoS, etc.
[09:14] <pecisk_> allorder: using user locally
[09:14] <allorder> if a program open a port without my permission, firewall will block it by default.. ?
[09:14] <bazhang> !lnw
[09:14] <ubotu> Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[09:14] <bazhang> see above allorder
[09:15] <Squawk> guys, linux firewall (netfilter, with usrespace tools iptables) is set to allow all connections by default with ubuntu
[09:15] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> but bittorrent opens some ports right?
[09:15] <pecisk_> allorder: aha, that is valid issue, but so far no official repository apps won't open _unknown_ ports
[09:15] <abujana> hi
[09:15] <ThreeFingerPete> question: does wine suffer from windows virii?
[09:16] <simplexio> allorder: you cant open ports under 1000 without root permissions, and even if "user" installs some program that allows access, attacker would have only users permissions
[09:16] <pecisk_> allorder: Ubuntu justs respects user whishes and don't control it because it "thinks" that user knows what to do
[09:16] <abujana> i am asking if anyone tried master shaper with ubuntu server
[09:16] <abujana> ???
[09:16] <Squawk> ThreeFingerPete, you can actualy find some good articles on that online, where people have tried to intentionaly infect themselves, with mixed results
[09:16] <abujana> or any other bandwidth controller
[09:16] <pecisk_> ThreeFingerPete: on very limited basis
[09:17] <simplexio> abujana: kernel + iputils2 when using gentoo, probably same packages are in ubuntu
[09:17] <bazhang> this is getting waaaay offtopic ;]
[09:17] <pecisk_> in fact, there was very nice idea to allow clamav scan exe before running it on wine
[09:17] <Squawk> simplexio, whats the scenario here, wherever there is software thats buggy there are ways into a system
[09:18] <simplexio> Squawk: well my opinion is that if computer has users, game is allreadyd lost when talking about 100% security
[09:18] <Squawk> simplexio, if a computer is connected to hte internet security is lost, firewall or not
[09:18] <josh> does ubuntu have an RDP client by default ?
[09:18] <simplexio> Squawk: not
[09:18] <allorder> pecisk: good call, but its a philosophy of a pure debian,slackware,bsd
[09:19] <pecisk_> josh, yes
[09:19] <allDan> help i cant play mp3 on my ubuntu
[09:19] <allDan> what shall i install
[09:19] <Squawk> simplexio, not what?
[09:19] <ThreeFingerPete> Squawk: and pecisk: thanks. tomorrow my brother will be a new linux user and will be happy to hear that
[09:19] <simplexio> Squawk: if there is no users then it isnt, and newer really uses net conenction
[09:19] <gold44> where's a good tutorial for tftpd? where's the folder when i can put iso and bin images?
[09:19] <bazhang> install ubuntu-restricted-extras allDan
[09:19] <pecisk_> josh, Applications => Internet => Terminal server client
[09:19] <allDan> thanks
[09:19] <bazhang> no worries ;]
[09:19] <Squawk> simplexio, if you think you can connect a computer to the internet with 100% certainty of no risk then you do not understand the nature of the internet
[09:20] <pecisk_> :)
[09:20] <RookieX> Heya
[09:20] <abujana> does ubuntu has a web interface installed
[09:20] <abujana> ?
[09:20] <bazhang> firefox abujana?
[09:20] <Squawk> abujana, web interfeace? firefox?
[09:20] <abujana> no
[09:21] <abujana> like webmin
[09:21] <abujana> ??
[09:21] <bazhang> hmm
[09:21] <gold44> where is /etc/inetd.conf ?
[09:21] <gold44> ubuntu don't have it
[09:21] <bazhang> ebox is what you want abujana
[09:21] <simplexio> Squawk: ... i mean, if you dont use that computer at all, have no services, and you dont update assuming that your installed programs are good ,there is no real risk
[09:21] <dgjones> !webmin | abujana
[09:21] <ubotu> abujana: 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.
[09:21] <Squawk> simplexio, minimal maybe, but there is a risk. gold44 what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:21] <pecisk_> gold44: propably it is xinetd?
[09:21] <abujana> thanks
[09:22] <abujana> does it support squid
[09:22] <abujana> ?
[09:22] <simplexio> Squawk: of course 100% secure computer is under 100m concrete, no users, no access means it secure
[09:23] <pecisk_> abujana: yes, check their website
[09:23] <pecisk_> abujana: Features section
[09:23] <Squawk> simplexio, the point im making is that I would firewall any computer off, no matter what it is used for
[09:23] <josh> thankyou pecisk
[09:23] <simplexio> Squawk: but question was is there need for iptables as deafult and i say no
[09:23] <simplexio> Squawk: and i dont
[09:23] <bazhang> could you firewall users take it to offtopic? ;]
[09:23] <gold44> Squawk: trying to setup tftpd server. i installed it, it's running. now where should i place my goodies? pecisk
[09:23] <pecisk_> :)
[09:24] <DASPRiD> gold44, better use proftpd
[09:24] <gold44> pecisk no xineted in /etc
[09:24] <RookieX> Im running ubuntu on my DELL Inspiron 1520 Laptop, with Intel Graphics X3100, could someone help me get the drivers setup?
[09:24] <pecisk_> gold44: tried to reach man page or /usr/share/doc/tftpd docs?
[09:24] <pecisk_> gold44: really don't know, haven't used it
[09:24] <simplexio> Squawk: there is no protection for stupid admin and allmoust no protextio for stupid users
[09:24] <gold44> pecisk man page no help. trying /usr/ll..... that link now
[09:25] <crow> anyone available to help me with somth?
[09:25]  * gold44 looking up proftpd
[09:25] <Squawk> gold44, personaly when I run an ftp server I create a new user "ftp", give him a home directory, and then give anyone who wants ftp access to that user account. YOu will have to figure out the tftpd config file yourself though
[09:25] <Squawk> simplexio, amen to that ;)
[09:25] <pecisk_> gold44: try /etc/xinetd/ or somewhere there
[09:25] <crow> I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it?
[09:25] <neo> help on installing themes in ubuntu
[09:25] <gold44> pecisk  no not in there
[09:26] <pecisk_> gold44: wait a sec
[09:26] <crackhead100_> help, please anyone.. i keep getting NO DHCPOFFERS RECEIVED.. in trying to set up my wireless.. wireless card fine. driver fine. router fine. dhcp. wep 10 digit hex key. windows can connect fine..
[09:26] <Squawk> crow, for a one off mount, do "mkdir /media/dirname && mount -t fat32 /dev/partid /media/dirname"
[09:27] <Squawk> crackhead100_, is the dhcp server running, and does it have a big enough pool of ip addresses to allocate one to your wireless?
[09:27] <gold44> Squawk: that's no different from ssh with sftp, if you set it up that way is there? maybe i not understand u correctly
[09:27] <Squawk> gold44, he said tftpd
[09:27] <crackhead100_> Squawk: it's a dlink router. it has a huge pool. there are only two computers using the connection.
[09:27] <pecisk_> crackhead100_: tried with NetworkManager?
[09:27] <crow> Squawk, I choose the dirname?
[09:27] <gold44> DASPRiD: proftpd will make my life easy?
[09:27] <Squawk> crow, yes
[09:27] <crackhead100_> pecisk: tried with networkmanager. fails. no luck.
[09:27] <crow> how does it know to choose the right one?
[09:27] <crackhead100_> (network manager is just calling the same command line requests.. )
[09:28] <Squawk> crow, the right one what?
[09:28] <crow> partition
[09:28] <DASPRiD> gold44, yes it will :)
[09:28] <pecisk_> this is very popular issue, even with Windows
[09:28] <Squawk> crackhead100_, firewall blocking the dhcp request?
[09:28] <crackhead100_> pecisk_: yes, it sure is..
[09:28] <DASPRiD> gold44, it will suffer all your needs
[09:28] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i dont belive so. how do i check?

[09:28] <neo> help on installing themes in ubuntu
[09:28] <pecisk_> crackhead100_: I suggest you to change card settings, however I am not sure about the way of doing this
[09:28] <crow> 'partid' is some id of the partition, or I should type 'partid' there?
[09:28] <gold44> DASPRiD: you mentioned it, but i got lots of interesting responds. so i better talk to them, while topic is hot =)
[09:28] <DASPRiD> neo, first get help against your spam
[09:28] <crackhead100_> pecisk_: that's not very helpful.
[09:28] <Squawk> crackhead100_, simple answer, run "sudo iptables -vnL" and see if there is a firewall as such
[09:29] <crackhead100_> ok, one sec. will pastebin result.
[09:29] <DASPRiD> gold44, well if you are still interested, punsh me ;P
[09:29] <neo> checked it!!!!    now help!
[09:29] <gold44> punsh?
[09:29] <crackhead100_> Squawk: they all appear to be blank.. input.. nothing listed.. forward nothing listed.. output nothing listed..
[09:29] <DASPRiD> hm dunno
[09:29] <pecisk_> crackhead100_: what is your wireless card?
[09:29] <Squawk> crow, put my name when you type, I nearly missed it. partid will be something like /dev/hda3
[09:29] <Squawk> crackhead100_, ok its not firewall, so have to look elsewhere
[09:29] <crackhead100_> pecisk_: a belkin usb wireless adapter. very simple.
[09:30] <pecisk_> crackhead100_: what chipset?
[09:30] <Squawk> crackhead100_, can you do iwlist interfacename scan?
[09:30] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i'm all ears..
[09:30] <gold44> DASPRiD: last q, before install. will proftpd let me change port?not use 69 as defaul
[09:30] <josh_> hey
[09:30] <crow> thanks
[09:30] <Squawk> crackhead100_, basicaly that should see if you can see the connection
[09:30] <DASPRiD> gold44, you mean not use 21 as default, dont you?
[09:30] <neo> how do i install themes in ubuntu?
[09:30] <Joshyboy> i love ubuntu
[09:30] <crow> Squawk, how do I see the partid?
[09:31] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i can see the proper network essid with the scan.
[09:31] <gold44> DASPRiD: no, 69 T ftpd, not ftpd.
[09:31] <DASPRiD> gold44, now i'm confused, thanks
[09:31] <Squawk> crackhead100_, check wep password, nothing wrong then that I can think of immediately
[09:31] <crow> Squawk, u said somth like /dev/hda3, how can I know for sure?
[09:31] <pecisk_> gold44: about xinetd, if you have installed it - which I doubt now - then you should have /etc/xinetd.conf which is general config and /etc/xinet.d/ which is seperated config files for each of services. It would be better to keep it that way :)
[09:31] <gold44> DASPRiD: TFTPD not FTPD
[09:31] <Squawk> crow, can you do "sudo fdisk" and then press "p", and show me the results ina  pm (probably about 5 lines of text)
[09:32] <neo> how do i install themes in ubuntu?
[09:32] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i know the password is correct
[09:32] <DASPRiD> gold44, ok nvm, understood it wrong, stay with tftpd :)
[09:32] <gold44> pecisk buntu default install, never gave me xinetd
[09:32] <mkquist> noe, have u tried system/pref/appearance?
[09:32] <mkquist> neo: sry last for u...
[09:32] <pecisk_> gold44: exactly, because xinetd by default would be very huge security issue :)
[09:32] <pecisk_> gold44: install it
[09:33] <mkquist> neo: check system/preferences/appearance
[09:33] <pecisk_> gold44: sudo apt-get install xinetd
[09:33] <sarah__> hi, im in network manager, and i hit unlock then change some stuff, then when it should reload it says "The configuration could not be saved You are not allowed to modify the system configuration ()" even though i have sudo privliges, could it be my write access to the config file was removed somehow? how do i find out where it is and fix that?
[09:33] <DASPRiD> today is a good day to fry
[09:33] <pecisk_> gold44: but first check if you really really need it
[09:33] <Squawk> crackhead100_, do you have dhcp server configured correctly in your net config? tbh I havnt done this under ubuntu (only gentoo) so not sure where the config is kept
[09:33] <crackhead100_> Squawk: the server is a router. where else is my server configured? I dont kno what you mean
[09:33] <gold44> pecisk_: no i don't. i just found a link for tftpd. let me try that first
[09:33] <crow> Squawk, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57799/
[09:33] <pecisk_> gold44: wait, just install it with apt-get
[09:34] <neo> where do i download the themes from??/        in which format   ????   i downloaded a theme and it said that format was invalid
[09:34] <Squawk> crackhead100_, I mean where did you configure your wireless? YOu must have config file, can you show me it?
[09:34] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i can actually get a connection from another ubuntu machine, a laptop, through nm-applet
[09:34] <ArthurArchnix> You guys/girls know any good links for settings up a basic hosts file? I want to ease up the load on adblock and I read that the hosts file is even better than adblock (makes browsing faster, etc)
[09:34] <crackhead100_> Squawk: which config file do you want to see?
[09:34] <Squawk> crackhead100_, sorry man, should have been more specific. I need you to run "fdisk /dev/hda", or "fdisk /dev/sda" one will give output, one wont
[09:34] <neo> where do i download the themes from??/        in which format   ????   i downloaded a theme and it said that format was invalid
[09:34] <Arelis> Hi there. Can anybody help me with a complicated problem with my PC that goes further than only Ubuntu? It's about segmentation faults and random crashes in every distribution
[09:34] <Squawk> crackhead100_, anything to do with wireless
[09:35] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i didnt do any manual file configs, except for /etc/net*/networkinterfaces.. i added "auto eth1.. iface inet eth1 dhcp"
[09:35] <crackhead100_> or whatever properly
[09:35] <mkquist> neo: check www.gnome-look.org
[09:35] <Arelis> And if so, can you please join #helparelis to avoid the overhead of this channel?
[09:35] <Squawk> crackhead100_, ok, hmm
[09:35] <ThreeFingerPete> i just tried something and it worked so well i wanted to tell everyone. sudo gedit /etc/make_it_all_work_perfect.conf
[09:35] <ArthurArchnix> !hosts
[09:35] <gold44> pecisk_: xinetd vs inetd ? one for x i supposed. but other than that, is one newer than the other?
[09:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:35] <allorder> !host
[09:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about host - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:35] <pecisk_> gold44: of course xinetd, because it is more secure
[09:36] <Arelis> Hi there. Can anybody help me with a complicated problem with my PC that goes further than only Ubuntu? It's about segmentation faults and random crashes in every distribution, and more weird stuff. If so, can you please join #helparelis to help me?
[09:36] <achilles616> hello everyone
[09:36] <Squawk> crackhead100_, what does ifconfig interfacename give?
[09:36] <gold44> pecisk_: ok, usually, i prefer to install non X stuff. that's ONE dependence less
[09:36] <pecisk_> gold44: by the way, you can install tftpd by apt-get install tftpd
[09:36] <Squawk> Arelis, seg faults accross distributions suggest bad RAM, check your RAM with memtest
[09:36] <gold44> pecisk_: am already running tftpd-hpa
[09:36] <pecisk_> gold44: that name is confusing, it has no way any connection with Xorg or X-Windows
[09:36] <Arelis> Squawk: i already did that. Also spinrite, so it's not the harddisk either
[09:37] <pecisk_> gold44: nice, so why do you need xinetd then?
[09:37] <neo> gtk1.0 or gtk2.0    or     should i download special theme for compiz?????         and will ordinary theme work with compiz??????
[09:37] <gold44> pecisk_: u told me to install it. and i am hesitant to do so.
[09:37] <simplexio> Arelis: random segfault usually mean that you have broken hardware
[09:37] <pecisk_> neo: ordinary theme will work with compiz and of course gtk2.0
[09:37] <ssn> hi
[09:37] <Squawk> crackhead100_, have you tried setting an ip manualy, and checking that the problem is infact dhcp?
[09:38] <pecisk_> gold44: ok, then I misunderstood you
[09:38] <pecisk_> gold44: what do you want to achieve? tftpd is up and running, yes?
[09:38] <Squawk> crow, you having problems?
[09:38] <gold44> pecisk_: yes. where's the folder when i can put iso and bin images?
[09:38] <simplexio> Arelis: run memtest for 2days, if no errors then it isnt in your memory
[09:38] <crackhead100_> Squawk: what do you mean? how do i set it manually?
[09:38] <gold44> pecisk_: iam getting to that right now.
[09:39] <crow> Squawk, I think I can handle it now.. thanks
[09:39] <ssn> does anyone know how to tell apt-build that it should continue to build world and not to restart the whole process from the first package on?
[09:39] <pecisk_> crackhead100_: I am very sure that either firmware is lacking (and if it is Belkin USB wifi, then I guess it is Broadcom there), or some settings aren't right, try to tweak them using iwconfig
[09:39] <Arelis> simplexio: i ran it for 5 hours. but please join #helparelis if you want to help me
[09:39] <simplexio> i allready have 20 channels in mut irssi
[09:39] <crackhead100_> pecisk_: that's not helpful unless you can be a LOT more specific..
[09:39] <sarah__> hi, im in network manager, and i hit unlock then change some stuff, then when it should reload it says "The configuration could not be saved You are not allowed to modify the system configuration"
[09:39] <crackhead100_> Squawk: how do i set it up manually? what do you mean?
[09:40] <Squawk> crackhead100_, go to "system, administration, network", click on the wireless interface, and select properties
[09:40] <crackhead100_> sarah__  run networkmanager as sudo
[09:40] <pecisk_> crackhead100_, I can't because I don't know nor your chipset nor your network settings. I am not magician :)
[09:40] <Squawk> crackhead100_, and then give it an ip address on the right subnet, along with the correct netmask and default gw, and see if you can connect that way
[09:40] <pecisk_> gold44: I will check it, wait a sec
[09:40] <sarah__> crackhead100_: thx, but then it wont even let me hit the unlock button :(
[09:41] <Squawk> sarah__, what are you trying to change?
[09:41] <pecisk_> sarah__: it is hardy? this is official stable releases support channel, and yes, I know that bug and it is very nasty
[09:41] <simplexio> sarah__: then you dont need to unlock it, you have then right yo use it
[09:41] <Squawk> sarah__, if you cant use the gui, open up the config file iteself and change it by hand
[09:41] <ssn> does anyone know how to tell apt-build that it should continue to build world and not to restart the whole process from the first package on?
[09:41] <pecisk_> he is using hardy with policykit stuff
[09:42] <neo> i downloaded a file in tar format    and it said that file format was not valid       .......     files are in which format??????
[09:42] <sarah__> Squawk: put in the password for my wireless
[09:42] <crackhead100_> Squawk: how do i know what the right "subnet" or "Netmask" is, and aren't they the same??
[09:42] <DASPRiD> neo, tar or tar.gz?
[09:42] <sarah__> pecisk: yeah hardy
[09:42] <crackhead100_> Squawk: how do i kno what my gateaway address is, or is that the ip address of the router, as i know it?
[09:42] <Squawk> crackhead100_, do you know hte ip address of the router?
[09:42] <simplexio> crackhead100_: if you have default its 255.255.255.0
[09:43] <sarah__> simplexio: it wont let me unlock it
[09:43] <crackhead100_> simplexio: yeah, i assume it's all default..
[09:43] <neo> how can i install additional desklets???
[09:43] <bullgard4> Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or another one?
[09:43] <Squawk> sarah__, ok gimme one sec, not quite sure where ubuntu stores the wep password
[09:43] <simplexio> sarah__: noidea, i dont have hardy
[09:43] <DASPRiD> neo, get screenlets instead of desklets
[09:43] <sarah__> Squawk: thanks
[09:43] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i dont thinkm it worked. was the gateway address the ip of the router?
[09:44] <neo> how can i get them???
[09:44] <sarah__> it worked before i rebooted
[09:44] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i put 192.168.0.1 which is the ip of the router, but it didn't work.. just tried to ping www.google.com.. unknonw.. nothing..
[09:44] <simplexio> crackhead100_: you dont need it
[09:44] <DASPRiD> neo: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Home
[09:44] <Squawk> gateway is hte ip of the router (192.168.1.1 probably), dns server should be the same, netmaks probably 255.255.255.0, and ip address something like 192.168.1.5
[09:44] <simplexio> crackhead100_: you can est if network work pinging your other computer
[09:44] <sarah__> crackhead100_: try 192.168.1.1?
[09:44] <simplexio> crackhead100_: assuming that you dont have any idiotic firewall isntalled which block icmp
[09:44] <KnightWse> does anybody know how to import an sql database ,
[09:44] <Squawk> crackhead100_, if hte router is 192.168.0.1, put your ip address as 192.168.0.5
[09:45] <Squawk> KnightWse, import it into what?
[09:45] <simplexio> KnightWse: depends
[09:45] <crackhead100_> simplexio: there's no firewall at all
[09:45] <Squawk> crackhead100_, the gateway/dns server both need to be set to your router
[09:45] <crackhead100_> Squawk: I put my pi as ....100... and the router is....1
[09:45] <neo> i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????
[09:46] <KnightWse> squawk : I have an SQL database (LAMP) that holds all of my Joomla records , I would like to move servers and import this SQL database into mysql so i can use it again with Joomla
[09:46] <crackhead100_> Squawk: what about "hosts'?
[09:46] <simplexio> KnightWse: mysql or postgresql as db server ?
[09:46] <Squawk> sarah__, have a look in /etc/network/interfaces, and see if there is mention of WEP
[09:46] <KnightWse> simplexio : Mysql
[09:46] <Squawk> crackhead100_, you need nothing in hosts
[09:47] <Squawk> you need, in the first tab, ip address, netmask and gateway, and in the dns tab, you need a dns server, which is your router ip
[09:47] <sarah__> Squawk: yes there is thanks =p
[09:47] <simplexio> KnightWse: sudo apt-get install mysql-admin, and you have nice gui for it
[09:47] <Squawk> crackhead100_, after that it should work. If it doesnt there is a problem that is not dhcp related but actualy network related
[09:47] <crackhead100_> Squawk: i added the router ip to the dns as well..
[09:47] <KnightWse> but I have no gui on that machine
[09:47] <crackhead100_> how do i test if it worked?
[09:47] <neo> DASPRiD, i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????
[09:47] <Squawk> crackhead100_, ping 192.168.0.1
[09:48] <ThreeFingerPete> if i install a extended partition on a drive, do all partitions have to be in it?
[09:48] <simplexio> KnightWse: then install it machine which has GUI, then tell mysql-admin to connect machine whre you have db
[09:48] <LimCore> if Ubuntu a BugWare?
[09:48] <KnightWse> ok :) i'll look
[09:48] <crackhead100_> Squawk: it says desitnation host unreachable..
[09:48] <Squawk> ThreeFingerPete, all partitions after the first 3
[09:48] <LimCore> I daily find serious bugs in any application, wth?
[09:48] <sarah__> Squawk: fixed that =p, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart didnt cause me to get connected though.... ideas plz?
[09:48] <Squawk> crackhead100_, type "route", and pm me the results
[09:48] <crackhead100_> Squawk: that is a lie, however.. the laptop can connect to it fine, with all the expected settings.. it's running ubuntu
[09:49] <neo> DASPRiD, i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????
[09:49] <ThreeFingerPete> Squawk: thanks. i need to install ubuntu on a drive with vista and it has 4 partitions. i can get rid of a few though
[09:49] <Squawk> sarah__, firewall, dhcp server, manual config set wrong, router config....
[09:49] <simplexio> KnightWse: export  mysqldump -u DBUSER -p DBNAME > DBNAME.sql, import mysql -p -h DBSERVER dbname < dbname.sql
[09:49] <simplexio> KnightWse: from cmdline
[09:49] <crackhead100_> Squawk: the results are " Destination Gateway Genmask  Flags metrix ref use iface.. then second line corresponding... 192.168.0.0    *     255.255.255.0   U   0      0      0     eth1
[09:49] <Squawk> ThreeFingerPete, you need to get rid of the last partition, create it as an extended partitoi, and then put as many partitions as you want within the extended partition
[09:49] <sarah__> dhcp. password, etc is working for my laptop :(
[09:50] <sarah__> illl doublecheck
[09:50] <ThreeFingerPete> Squawk: music to my ears
[09:50] <Squawk> crackhead100_, you have an entry "default"?
[09:50] <crackhead100_> the kernel ip routing table is not taking the right destination or gateway info.. it should be 192.168.0.1 or something.. wtf?
[09:50] <KnightWse> Thanxs Simplecia , Thanx Swuack
[09:50] <sarah__> (last time worked after i selected the network from network-admin) Squawk
[09:50] <LimCore> when ubutnu will catch up with windows in terms on stability of its programs?
[09:50] <crackhead100_> Squawk: an entry default where??
[09:50] <simplexio> KnightWse: http://www.modwest.com/help/kb6-241.html there, first hit in google
[09:51] <KnightWse> Thank you :)
[09:51] <simplexio> LimCore: :)
[09:51] <Squawk> crackhead100_, in route. Ok, try "route add default gw 192.168.0.1"
[09:51] <LimCore> simplexio: seriously, how long can one wait :(
[09:51] <crackhead100_> Squawk: and then?
[09:51] <Squawk> sarah__, not sure
[09:51] <chaozone> hi kann mir vielleicht jemand kurz helfen mein, dass mein wlan auch unter windows xp über vmware läuft?!
[09:51] <mewshi> meow
[09:51] <pecisk_> LimCore: can be more specific? :)
[09:51] <Squawk> crackhead100_, try pinging it again. If that fails, try restarting the interface
[09:51] <simplexio> LimCore: you mean those nice gui progs that help ypu configure system
[09:52] <crackhead100_> Squawk: ping failed. how do i restart? what's the command?
[09:52] <Squawk> sarah__, same as crackhead, try restarting the interface
[09:52] <LimCore> pecisk_: ubuntu is riddled with tons of bugs. I find bugs daily at least, and I report usually a few weekly. what the .... , windows programs where far more stable
[09:52] <gold44> pecisk_: ok, trivail ftpd is up running on server. on client side, how do i connect to it and download files?
[09:52] <LimCore> pecisk_: for specyfic examples, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/
[09:52] <Squawk> crackhead100_, try a go with ifconfig eth1 down, then ifconfig eth1 up (for now)
[09:53] <gold44> pecisk_: sorry, do you mind change your nick to pecisk2 ? underscore give me trouble
[09:53] <crackhead100_> Squawk: ok, restarted. now what?
[09:53] <Squawk> ping it again
[09:53] <simplexio> crackhead100_: try make broadcast ping, and see if anyone answers
[09:53] <Squawk> sarah__, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[09:54] <Squawk> crackhead100_, if that doesnt work, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" You will lose internet possibly
[09:54] <sarah__> did, all it does is says *Reconfiguring network interfaces... [OK]
[09:54] <pecisk_> LimCore: sounds like theme for #ubuntu-offtopic, but answering you, I report and debug bugs for Ubuntu for three years. Most of platform is very stable. Yes, there are lot of small bugs. But they appear in very strange configurations and situations. There is no Launchpad for WIndows and OS X, and so any comparing is very speculative at best :)
[09:54]  * domas cries at https://bugs.launchapad.net/ubuntu/+source/findutils/+bug/164484
[09:54] <crackhead100_> simplexio: i really need the directions to be letter specific. i dont kno how to do that..
[09:54] <Squawk> sarah__, see if it now works?
[09:54] <pecisk2> gold44: sure :)
[09:54] <sarah__> connect: Network in unreachable
[09:54] <simplexio> crackhead100_: ifconfig, check bcast address then ping -b that address
[09:54] <pecisk2> sarah__: do you use Hardy?
[09:55] <sarah__> Squawk: networking  restart doesnt try to dhcp discover
[09:55] <crackhead100_> Squawk: reconfrigured network interfaces.. now what?
[09:55] <sarah__> pecisk sure do was the only one i could get to actually run hehe
[09:55] <Squawk> sarah__, do you have "dhcp" as part of your /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:55] <Squawk> crackhead100_, ping again
[09:55] <simplexio> LimCore: well Opera9.5beta2 is only program that i have "problems"
[09:55] <LimCore> pecisk2: crash is no small bug
[09:55] <Squawk> crackhead100_, always ping, its the best test
[09:55] <crackhead100_> Squawk: still ping fail on 192 168 0 1.. the router ip..
[09:55] <crackhead100_> unreachable
[09:56] <LimCore> simplexio: I have problems with any program I run.  and they are often confirmed, so its not my error or hardware problem
[09:56] <simplexio> anyone know if lastest stable opera supports flash ?
[09:56] <pecisk2> sarah__: then please support this bug with comment that you have it too https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193661. It is similar, I have that error message that I can't save settings too, but after that everything I change network-admin drops.
[09:56] <pecisk2> LimCore: could be more specific?
[09:57] <sarah__> Squawk: yes -> audo lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n iface wlan0 inet dhcp \n wireless-key STUFF \n wireless essid linux
[09:57] <crackhead100_> Squawk: you get that? still ping failure.
[09:57] <LimCore> pecisk2: today kmail crapped out on me - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/196926
[09:57] <Squawk> crackhead100_, well since we gave your computer an ip address on the right subnet, it has the correct braodcast, you have gateway configured and a dns server (not actualy necessary to ping the touer), and no firewall, then the problem is not in your network settings. So look at your hardware somehow, or double check your settings
[09:57] <pecisk2> ok, it is KDE
[09:57] <LimCore> pecisk2: in last weeks kmail presentet an EPIC FAILURE several other times, mainly when using imap or pgp
[09:57] <crackhead100_> Squawk: "look at my hardware"? i don't kno what to do
[09:57] <simplexio> LimCore: that's is not ubuntu problem it's kmail bug, even if ubuntu tracks them
[09:57] <LimCore> simplexio: I know
[09:57] <sarah__> pecisk ah ok ill try to help that one after i fix mine =p
[09:57] <Squawk> crackhead100_, neither do I, we exhuasted all networking possibilities
[09:58] <pecisk2> LimCore: I very rarely expierence crash on Ubuntu/Gnome these days, can't say anything about KDE or Kmail
[09:58] <LimCore> simplexio: I didnt said who fault it was, still Ubuntu is riddled with bugs. as most other distros probably; Therefore my question, when ubuntu/linux world will catch up to windows finally
[09:58] <Squawk> sarah__, put "auto" infront of the interface? is audo a typo in here or in the config?
[09:58] <crackhead100_> Squawk: anyone else in here know how to troubleshoot a wireless card?
[09:58] <LimCore> simplexio: for end user it makes small difference is it ubuntu project or upstream or pizza guy to be balemed :)
[09:58] <LimCore> blamed
[09:58] <Squawk> crackhead100_, no clue, im nothing to do with ubuntu devs, I just know my way around linux
[09:58] <pecisk2> LimCore: such bugs are on Windows, and they aren't main reason for user to decide use or not to use Ubuntu
[09:59] <LimCore> pecisk2: no, they are not
[09:59] <crackhead100_> Squawk: if it can see the list of wireless networks avilable in the area, though, shouldnt that mean the card is working???
[09:59] <simplexio> LimCore: dunno are just unlucky, but like i said only annoying bug that i have is opera 9.50beta2 + flash
[09:59] <pecisk2> LimCore: I would like to see overall Ubuntu quality rise too, but it is matter of doing, than talking
[09:59] <LimCore> pecisk2: somehow windows program show much lower amount of bugs in most applications
[09:59] <simplexio> LimCore: and i run gnome desktop version
[09:59] <LimCore> (except for applications written my M$ itself, like IE)
[09:59] <pecisk2> LimCore: yes, they are. I am 10 years support guy and I know what I am talking about
[09:59] <Squawk> crackhead100_, yes, and since we have established that your network settings are correct, then there is no reason for you not to connect? essid wrong maybe?
[09:59] <pecisk2> LimCore: then you propably haven't used Windows seriously
[10:00] <LimCore> pecisk2: care to show me such epic failure in windows email client?
[10:00] <pecisk2> LimCore: sure, Outlook Express have been a joke for most of it's existence. Ok, this is offtopic already :)
[10:00] <sarah__> Squawk: ah thx might be problem :) should i add audo wlan0 \n before the iface wlan0 inet.... one?>
[10:00] <LimCore> pecisk2: TheBat email client showed any bug   ZERO    times over using it for 2-3 years DAILY.   kmail crashed 3 times and show other problems 5 times in last 2 months.
[10:00] <simplexio> LimCore: he probably can't, usually those just silently destroy your mail archives and claim everything ok
[10:00] <LimCore> pecisk2: I said, except programs by M$ itself
[10:00] <sarah__> or just auto on the same line?
[10:01] <Squawk> sarah__, yes, but its "auto", not audo
[10:01] <jastiv> how about starting by haveing a program that changes wav and midi into ogg in the repositories!
[10:01] <LimCore> simplexio:   TheBat email client showed any bug   ZERO    times over using it for 2-3 years DAILY. and I was often using archive it was as it should be.  While  kmail crashed 3 times and show other problems 5 times in last 2 months.
[10:01] <simplexio> LimCore: so why you want use buggy development soft, i have no problems with evolution
[10:01] <pecisk2> exactly
[10:01] <Squawk> sarah__, crackhead100_, I have to go, dentist appointment ;(. pm me ifyou still havnt fixed it, il be back later
[10:02] <pale-yafa> hi, I just updated my computer, and now postgres is not working? do i have to install it again or what ?
[10:02] <cion> hey all, I installed a LAMP stack in 7.04 to use PHP Point of sale system, but since then I can't enter my gmail account...anyone has an idea of why?
[10:02] <neo> DASPRiD, i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????
[10:02] <LimCore> well I like kmail better
[10:02] <LimCore> if kmail is such an epic failure, it should be kicked out of ubuntu
[10:02] <LimCore> or ubuntu should ask:  this software is a frigging epic FAILURE with not QA team at all,  are you shure you want to install this crap [ ]yes  [x]no
[10:02] <simplexio> LimCore: ding ding. you are using ubuntu linux distro now, you can choose ewhat you use, dont like evolution, try kmail, it's buggy, fix it, wait someone to fix it, or change to another client
[10:03] <sarah__> Squawk: omg THANKS SO MUCH worked
[10:03] <Henk> Is somebody here known with multi duo videocards?
[10:03] <sarah__> your amazing
[10:03] <pecisk2> LimCore: maybe then just go out and report those bugs, pressure devs, etc. to fix those bugs which irrigate you? You are geek (I presume), so improve quality of Kmail and Ubuntu. Don't bitch. Don't moan. It won't help anyone :)
[10:03] <LimCore> pecisk2: I do it
[10:03] <crackhead100_> sarah__: what did you do to get things to work??
[10:03] <pecisk2> LimCore: nice then :)
[10:04] <LimCore> perhaps I should make a page about crappy programs.
[10:04] <LimCore> like... krap.org
[10:04] <pecisk2> why? ;)
[10:04] <kalatian> I've got an USB hard drive (Seagate FreeAgent), and it keeps dying on me with the dmesg output found here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57802/ (basically, IO errors and device D/C) -- anyone have any idea why and any suggestions on how to fix it?
[10:04] <LimCore> most bugs seem to be in K applications somehow
[10:04] <simplexio> LimCore: you can complain that M$ dosenät fix problems, you can whine that adobe dosn't fix bug in their products, after all you have paid for them
[10:04] <LimCore> but then I use K apps the most
[10:04] <crackhead100_> sarah__: what did you do to get things to work??
[10:04] <pecisk2> LimCore: which version of Ubuntu you use?
[10:04] <simplexio> LimCore: Kde3.5 or 4 in use ?
[10:04] <LimCore> simplexio: for the last time,  EXCEPT programs by M$
[10:04] <LimCore> simplexio: current 7.10 amd64
[10:04] <pecisk2> amd64?
[10:04] <LimCore> yes
[10:04] <sarah__> crackhead100_: i didnt fix the GUI problem, but i manually edited  /etc/network/interfaces and then did the /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:04] <pecisk2> 64-bit version?
[10:04] <LimCore> yeees
[10:05] <simplexio> i run 32bit on amd64 and no problems
[10:05] <pecisk2> it is known to be much less stable as 32bit
[10:05] <sarah__> i added auto wlan0 before the iface wlan0 line
[10:05] <LimCore> well i run 64bit and lots of
[10:05] <neo> i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????

[10:05] <ubotu> By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname.
[10:05] <simplexio> LimCore: you have more that 4G RAM
[10:05] <LimCore> simplexio: not yet
[10:05] <crackhead100_> sarah__: that's even more complicated.. can you pastebin.ca.. what your interfaces document looks like??
[10:06] <LimCore> 32bit is so 1990's
[10:06] <simplexio> LimCore: then it should be pretty much same to run it much more stable 32-bit
[10:06] <ere4si> 64 bit is so immature
[10:06] <neville_> 48-bit?
[10:06] <LimCore> 64b may run faster as it uses all registers
[10:06] <ere4si> he
[10:06] <LimCore> afair, no?
[10:06] <simplexio> not really that much faster
[10:07] <LimCore> x2 more registers can be epic speedup probably
[10:07] <pecisk2> yes, it should. But it is more error prone, because lot of apps use 32-bit way of thinking
[10:07] <dny> Is there a way to make the archive manager open .ace files?  ;o
[10:07] <ere4si> apps need to be 64 bit written
[10:07] <simplexio> LimCore: or calculate it this way 32-bit no problems, 64-bit bit faster, but you gonna have come problems
[10:07] <LimCore> ere4si: only if the developers where brain dead
[10:07] <khaniss> bonjour y'a til un français s'il vous plait
[10:07] <ere4si> it's the kiss principle
[10:07] <pecisk2> LimCore: unfortunately, not all devs are that perfect
[10:08] <ArthurArchnix> phh... what's up with windows live? I block cookies by default and add exceptions to sites I choose. But windows live is demanding that I enable cookies globally. It must be using some hidden urls or something? In addition to just being 'windowsish'.
[10:08] <simplexio> like we saw when local root exlpoit hit linux kernel .17->.24 were affected
[10:08] <wols> ArthurArchnix: it uses shit domains like passport.net and such probably
[10:09] <crackhead100_> Can anyone help me get my wireless network card working???
[10:09] <ArthurArchnix> wols: Yeah... ok, well, I'm gonna go ask in the windows forum. I'll try to blend in.. :)
[10:09] <LimCore> pecisk2: strange, somehow my code doesnt care 32 or 64b
[10:09] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$ echo "All your bases are belong to us" | festival --tts; WARNING; No default voice found in ("/usr/share/festival/voices/") either no voices unpacked or voice-path is wrong; Scheme interpreter will work, but there is no voice to speak with. WARNING:  EST Error: {FND} Feature Token_Method not defined." How can I unpack 'voices'?
[10:09] <simplexio> LimCore: what you code ?
[10:09] <DASPRiD> 64b \o/
[10:09] <pecisk2> LimCore: well, how complex it is? Because mail client IS complex code
[10:10] <LimCore> pecisk2: simmilar level of complexity, just x50 times less.  but the principle is same
[10:10] <pecisk2> LimCore: mail clients is one of those apps for which user expects them to load gigabytes information in matter of secs, index in matter of secs, show all headers, scroll faster, etc.
[10:10] <LimCore> pecisk2: other programs are bugridden too
[10:11] <LimCore> even psi, a trivial jabber IM is broken
[10:11] <LimCore> I would use other IM client... but they are all broken
[10:11] <pecisk2> LimCore: it is officially supported?
[10:11] <LimCore> pecisk2: ?
[10:11] <pecisk2> LimCore: Pidgin, Gossip are broken?
[10:11] <sofiankr1> which command can I use to rename all my .JPG files to .jpg?
[10:11] <pecisk2> LimCore: it is supported by Cannonical?
[10:11] <LimCore> pecisk2: gossip is not really usable yet, pidgin is broken
[10:11] <LimCore> pecisk2: dunno, how to check
[10:11] <ndlovu> hi all. I did an apt-get upgrade on feisty, and now the update manager no longer says there's a new release available. Any idea how to get it back so I can do the automatic upgrade?
[10:11] <pecisk2> LimCore: Pidgin is broken, in what way?
[10:11] <stdin> bullgard4: you install one of the festvox-* packages
[10:12] <ndlovu> my sources.list is all feisty...
[10:12] <LimCore> pecisk2: it crashed time or two, and it fails to support openpgp
[10:12] <achilles616> how do i install a theme?
[10:12] <simmerz> is there a ftp client for gnome that doesn't crash? gftp just dies on me half way through a copy operation
[10:13] <flowOver> simmerz: filezilla?
[10:13] <LimCore> simmerz: no
[10:13] <LimCore> simmerz: ubuntu is bugridden
[10:13] <simmerz> LimCore: thanks for your amazingly insightful help
[10:13] <LimCore> simmerz: for real software, buy something written by real developers, that work for money
[10:13] <pecisk2> LimCore: o_O. Never had problems with pgp or crashing. Using Pidgin all the time
[10:13] <Blinkiz> Am looking for a program that can check SHA checksum on files. Please advice
[10:13] <flowOver> alot of ubuntu developers are paid money
[10:14] <flowOver> canonical has inhouse staff
[10:14] <LimCore> simmerz: I had the same problem. gftp->crashing junk (is that way since 2 years),  krusader->crashing
[10:14] <simmerz> LimCore: gFTP != Ubuntu
[10:14] <sofiankr1> because I can't change the caps for the compiz cube if I don't have .jpg files. So how do I mass-rename my .JPG files?
[10:14] <simmerz> remember that
[10:14] <LimCore> pecisk2: so how do you enable pgp in pidgin exacly?
[10:14] <LimCore> simmerz: ok let me take notes
[10:14]  * LimCore notes that groundbraking information
[10:15] <LimCore> groundbreaking even
[10:15] <gdfnht> grüessed euch
[10:16] <LimCore> Blinkiz:  sha1sum filename  in console
[10:16] <simplexio> sofiankr1: man rename
[10:16] <Blinkiz> LimCore: Thank you
[10:16] <LimCore> pecisk2: so how do you enable pgp in pidgin exacly then?
[10:17] <simplexio> LimCore: if you want that kmail just work send few thousand euros to dev and ask politely :) then they probably have more time to work with your problems
[10:17] <sofiankr1> simplexio: any command to use with mv? something like mv *.JPG *.jpg            (although it doesn't work!)
[10:17] <pecisk2> LimCore: checking it on another box, wait a sec
[10:17] <pecisk2> having feisty there
[10:17] <simplexio>   rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
[10:17] <LimCore> simplexio: in communist russia, 1 person pays 10000 usd
[10:17] <LimCore> in capitalism, 10000 people pay 1 usd
[10:17] <LimCore> I think ubuntu may need simmilar model
[10:17] <ArthurArchnix> Hehe.. so I ask in #windows about why I can't whitelist windowslive, why it requires cookies to be enabled globally to use, first and only response so far is classic windows mentality: (12:11:20) Uatec: i don't get why people get so up tight about cookies. cookies never hurt anyone.
[10:18] <LimCore> I would surly pay 1 usd.. or 5 usd for working kmail... not 5000 ;)
[10:18] <simplexio> LimCore: it's happening right now. ibm and other big linux users pay devs to implement stuff that they need
[10:18] <DASPRiD> eh, #ubuntu is the top channel of freenode :D
[10:18] <pecisk2> LimCore: just supporting bug with nice backtraces would be fine
[10:18] <DASPRiD> http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode
[10:18] <LimCore> pecisk2: I do all the time
[10:18] <LimCore> pecisk2: then I wait and waaaaaaaaaait... and nothing
[10:18] <bullgard4> stdin: I installed festvox-kallpc16k. Ubuntu utters now the sentence "All your bases are belonging to us" with an long-lasting echo so that is is barely comprehnsible.
[10:18] <flowOver> LimCore: you're welcome to donate
[10:19] <simplexio> sofiankr1: that rename i paste changes all files to lower case
[10:19] <sofiankr1> ArthurArchnix: if you want to get rid of your cookies, send them to me! My nickname is the 'Cookies Monster'
[10:19] <bilibop> #wireless-fr
[10:19] <simplexio> sofiankr1: you can offcourse try rename 's/\.JPG/\.jpg/' *.JPG
[10:19] <neo> i installed ¨art manager ¨     it starts and exits without any error     how can i solve it????
[10:19] <Ximal> Is there a way for me to password a folder so that I have to type in the access code/pwd just like when I update the pc before the folder is viewable/accessible ?
[10:19] <crow> Squawk, could you tell me again what I needed to write to mount my disc partition? ..I lost the log
[10:19] <sofiankr1> simplexio: thanks!
[10:20] <LimCore> sofiankr1: also try FAQ from #bash on file renaming.  also mmv (not mv) program
[10:20] <rares_ubuntu> hello
[10:20] <LimCore> sofiankr1: also krusader file command have rename tool
[10:20] <rares_ubuntu> i have a question regarding using ubuntu 7.10 with an HP Compaq 8510w and an external monitor
[10:20] <simplexio> sofiankr1: also try man perlfaq6, you can doo allkinds fun stuff with regexp
[10:21] <sofiankr1> LimCore: and I'm also looking for a way to say... rename all my pictures from whatever they are currently to "Picture 1.jpg" "Picture 2.jpg" etc...
[10:21] <Ximal> anyone ?
[10:21] <LimCore> sofiankr1: ask #bash
[10:21] <LimCore> Ximal: yes
[10:21] <sofiankr1> LimCore: I didn't realize they had a channel! Thanks!
[10:21] <LimCore> Ximal: make a LUCAS encrypted filesystem and mount it
[10:21] <sofiankr1> happy linuxing!
[10:21] <sofiankr1> bye
[10:21] <Ximal> how might i go about putting password access to view or use/operate within a folder ?
[10:21] <rares_ubuntu> when i'm closing the lid the laptop just hangs
[10:22] <LimCore> Ximal: make a LUCAS encrypted filesystem and mount it
[10:22] <simplexio> sofiankr1: that command i gived changes all ooo.JPG -> ooo.jpg etc
[10:22] <Ximal> umm.... dunno how to do that limcore .. mind showing/teaching me ? pls sir ?
[10:22] <LimCore> rares_ubuntu: ubuntu is bug ridden, it may be a bug related to power managmnet, report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug
[10:23] <rares_ubuntu> ok, LimCore, i'll fill in a bug
[10:23] <LimCore> Ximal: I will write article about it soon.  what is your email?
[10:23] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: sounds like acpi problem
[10:23] <LimCore> Ximal: or just check limcore.com/learn/ around tommorow or so
[10:24] <rares_ubuntu> it's very interesting that if i'm using the laptop without the external monitor
[10:24] <rares_ubuntu> i have no problem
[10:24] <ndlovu> anyone know of a useful tool that will tell you what files are duplicated on your filesystem? I need to do some pruning...
[10:24] <Ximal> oh ok... thank u much limcore
[10:24] <LimCore> ndlovu: in one dir?
[10:24] <LimCore> ndlovu: writting bash script that would use sha1sums seems quite easy
[10:24] <rares_ubuntu> i can close and reopen the lid and it's still working
[10:24] <ndlovu> LimCore, well, within subdirectories at least

[10:29] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: one way to "fix" problem is add acpi=off to kernel boot parameters

[10:30] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: http://magicrobotmonkey.blogspot.com/2007/10/gutsy-laptop-lid-tweak.html theres another fix
[10:32] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, i'm trying the fix now
[10:33] <aca> why does the resolution changer in gnome not use the resolutions i put into my xorg.conf?
[10:34] <combat> aca, how did you put the resolutions into the xorg.conf?
[10:35] <aca> combat: the right way, i've been using the same one xorg.conf for a few years
[10:35] <combat> i had the same problem and i've only added the maximum resolution to xorg.conf (1680x1050)
[10:36] <crackhead100_> how can i use my internet connection as a hub so that i can wire it to another computer and share the internet through this first connected computer???
[10:36] <combat> but in gnome i can choose very much resolutions up to 1024x768
[10:37] <aca> combat: it actually sets the right res, the refresh rate what's wrong

[10:41] <rush2> Hello. I want to install ubuntu on desktop, but I don't want neither gnome, kde and xfce.
[10:41] <simplexio> crackhead100_: there is so many ways to do it
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> rush2: use the !alternate CD, and select "install a command line system"
[10:41] <rush2> Is there some true way to install ubuntu with openbox desktop for example ?
[10:42] <rush2> !alternate CD
[10:42] <ubotu> The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[10:42] <tonyyarusso> rush2: then install openbox afterwards
[10:42] <rush2> ok
[10:42] <rush2> whate to get Alternate CD ?
[10:42] <rush2> !minimal
[10:42] <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
[10:42] <rush2> ok
[10:42] <simplexio> crackhead100_: firestarter had place to put cross if you want to share connection
[10:43] <cornixx> Hm, not really closely Ubuntu-related, but has got to do with me wanting a dual-boot system (XP/Ubuntu)
[10:43] <cornixx> Could someone recommend a Ext2 or ext3 driver for WinXP?
[10:43] <cornixx> I found several on Wikipedia already
[10:43] <tonyyarusso> cornixx: fs-driver.org works okay.  Closed-source though.
[10:44] <cornixx> but don't know which one is the best :D
[10:44] <cornixx> ok, thx :D
[10:44] <cornixx> Isn't there any ext3 driver?
[10:44] <cornixx> or will it work with ext3? :O
[10:45] <simplexio> cornixx: why you want access to linux partiotions ?
[10:45] <cornixx> lol
[10:45] <tonyyarusso> it will work with ext3, but as if it were ext2, I think.  (ie, you won't journal from Windows)
[10:45] <cornixx> yeah, just read that
[10:45] <Arelis> cornixx: ext2-fs
[10:45] <cornixx> simplexio: Just the /home dir
[10:45] <cornixx> not the system itself
[10:45] <cornixx> so I can access files from one another
[10:47] <cornixx> Wondering how much I'll use Ubuntu on my Desktop. On my laptop i haven't used WinXP in ages
[10:47] <cornixx> :D
[10:48] <ere4si> I got sick of climbing through windows - linux = doors :)
[10:49] <cornixx> well, it's a gaming machine and Linux isn't the best gaming platform (yet)
[10:49] <cornixx> well, half gaming half work
[10:50] <cornixx> What I really like about Ubuntu is that I don't have to google for the software I need most of the time
[10:50] <cornixx> I just pull it from the repository and it works fine
[10:50] <ere4si> lots of games are ported to linux
[10:51] <cornixx> on my last machine it ran slow as hell
[10:51] <mmarsman> ere4si, but not enough yet
[10:51] <cornixx> indeed
[10:51] <mmarsman> we need native linux games
[10:51] <hubris-> Due to lagging sales, Microsoft is cutting the price of Vista by 48%
[10:51] <mmarsman> :)
[10:51] <ere4si> patcience - they'll come :)
[10:51] <cornixx> also: For my Core 2 Quad I need the 64 bit Ubuntu, right? :O
[10:51] <ere4si> nope
[10:52] <simplexio> how ,uch visva costs now ?
[10:52] <ere4si> too much !
[10:52] <simplexio> cornixx: you dont need 64bit , but you can install 64bit
[10:52] <jpatrick> !ot
[10:52] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:52] <ceacy> Hi
[10:52] <simplexio> cornixx: thought 32bit is more stable, and if you try wine it's probably better option
[10:52] <mmarsman> 299 euro for business full
[10:52] <cornixx> ok
[10:52] <cornixx> so I'l halting the download
[10:53] <ArthurArchnix> So, I've pretty much got gutsy setup to my liking now. What I want to do is create a new user account that I can use sudo with, in case I need to make changes or something, and then remove sudo from my user account so that I become just a normal everyday kinda guy, with no hidden superpowers or anything. Like in Superman II (though, Clark came to regret it I think). Anyway, I'm creating the new user now, what's the differenc
[10:53] <ceacy> I've got a problem under Xubuntu, with quodlibet (and dbus hotkeys)
[10:53] <ere4si> 64 bit is more for mem management over 4g
[10:53] <cornixx> just got 2 Gig :D
[10:53] <ceacy> it worked, but i uninstalled a few packages, without any problem in dependencies, and now Quodlibet doesn't recognize my hotkeys anymore
[10:53] <ere4si> ArthurArchnix, remove current user from the admin group
[10:53] <ceacy> "DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service file"
[10:54] <speart> hi, is 8.04 stable for desktop use?
[10:54] <simplexio> ArthurArchnix: system->admin->users&groups
[10:54] <ArthurArchnix> ere4si: Yeah... I will, but not before I setup a second account that has admin group privelages. :)
[10:54] <ceacy> unfortunately, i don't know which package is supposed to interact with the dbus system, in xfce
[10:54] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, i tried the script for the laptop lid, but it doesn't work. I have this problem only when i have an external monitor connected to my laptop, through VGA
[10:54] <ArthurArchnix> I need at least one.
[10:54] <ere4si> great ArthurArchnix
[10:54] <ArthurArchnix> I just don't want to run it on a daily basis.
[10:54] <ceacy> Anyone has a clue ?
[10:54] <SleepingSloth> ere4si, if that is the case, what is special about 64 bit cpus? that they can address more ram? that seems a bit shaky, doesn't it?
[10:54] <ere4si> ArthurArchnix, that's how I run the os
[10:54] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: how about nmi_watchdog=0 to kernel boot parameters ?
[10:55] <ArthurArchnix> ere4si: I found my answer. I want to create a new administrator account. Then change mine to a desktop user.
[10:55] <rares_ubuntu> trying right now
[10:55] <ere4si> SleepingSloth, until the devs start writing the apps with 64 bit in mind there's not much point
[10:56] <ere4si> ArthurArchnix, I used the first user setup for admin then created a new one with limited rights - similar
[10:57] <ArthurArchnix> time to log into the new sudo account and see if it works. Then, remove my super powers from my daily account. ere4si yeah... I've never done this before... but I just finished reinstalling after borking my system by editing files with gksudo nautilus.
[10:58] <SleepingSloth> ere4si, what about the different instruction set - only useful when an app is written to take advantage of it?
[10:58] <ere4si> ArthurArchnix, the power is intoxicating - care is needed!
[10:58] <cornixx> ArthurArachnix: You mean gksudo Kryptonite? :D
[10:59] <wers> how do I send emails using my gmail account on thunderbird?
[10:59] <wers> i'm trying to use smtp but I never manage to send emails
[11:00] <ere4si> SleepingSloth: until enough people are using 64 bit the apps won't be written 64 bit - until there are enough users on 64 bit the apps won't be written 64 bit
[11:00] <simplexio> wers: dunno about thunderbird, but there is howto about evolution and google mail, not sure was toy client mentioned there
[11:01] <azziz> hi
[11:01] <ikaro> hello
[11:01] <azziz> i need some help
[11:01] <wers> i thnk, i'm not using the right port or secure connection
[11:01] <azziz> i'm totaly new to the unbuto
[11:01] <ere4si> SleepingSloth, * reverse that last comment :)
[11:01] <azziz> anyway i installed it to my laptop
[11:02] <simplexio> wers: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13285&disablechatbrowsercheck=1
[11:02] <azziz> the thing is  that im having problems with booting
[11:02] <ikaro> the ftp accounts give access to the whole file system from / even though the passwd file states the home dir for the users are /home/<user name>
[11:02] <azziz> it's wont open
[11:03] <wers> simplexio, followed that but I still cant send
[11:03] <ikaro> any ideas
[11:03] <wols> ikaro: you need to chroot your ftp then somehow
[11:03] <wers> i'm on gutsy, btw
[11:03] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, where i can find the file for kernel boot parameters?
[11:04] <ArthurArchnix> ere4si: I feel... different. I just ran, sudo apt-get update and nothing happened. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf too, did nothing. I feel.. free. :)
[11:04] <wols> wers: port 587 is the only for delivery to gmail
[11:04] <erUSUL> rares_ubuntu: is on the grub manu.lst file
[11:04] <ikaro> wols, is it necessary to chroot the accounts by defaults? im using puire-ftpd ... never experienced this before on other distros...
[11:04] <erUSUL> rares_ubuntu: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:04] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:04] <rares_ubuntu> thanks
[11:04] <ArthurArchnix> Here's my groups: arthur dialout cdrom audio dip video plugdev lpadmin netdev powerdev   what's lpadmin and dip?
[11:05] <bullgard4> Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or is there another one?
[11:05] <wers> wols, i got an error. apparently the server is unsavailable or is refusing connections
[11:05] <ere4si> ArthurArchnix, it can be such a lack a resposibility that all stress is removed :)
[11:05] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: append into line which start kernel
[11:05] <wols> wers: how do you plan to deliver mail? directly with thunderbird?
[11:05] <gcj> hi all, when i install the nagios-nrpe-server package on dapper, I don't get any config files or initscript, even though they're listed in the package with dpkg -L they simply don't exist on the filesystem. what gives?
[11:05] <wers> wols, tes
[11:06] <ikaro> another thing, when i want to install some package its asking me to insert the cd .. the box its now headless which keyword should I search for to solve this
[11:06] <wers> *yes
[11:06] <crackhead100_> PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME GET MY WIRELESS NETWORK USB CARD TO WORK! i can see the available wireless networks. i can connect via windows on other machines. i can connect via ubuntu on a laptop. however, this desktop with this usb network card just won't work -- dhclient keeps saying no leases.. sleeping..
[11:06] <simplexio> wers: works fine with evolution
[11:06] <ArthurArchnix> ok... lpadmin is printing. Might be useful for pdfs and such. Now.. what is the dip group.
[11:06] <wers> yep. mine works fine with evolution too. i just want to use thunderbird instead
[11:06] <ikaro> nevermind .. i remember its called repository ----
[11:07] <ikaro> sound like something you put in your but
[11:07] <gcj> crackhead100_: are you sure that dhclient works with your dhcp server? I've had problems with it in the past
[11:07] <simplexio> crackhead100_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-343667.html
[11:07] <ArthurArchnix> ahh ppp connections and the like. ok. All is well
[11:07] <crackhead100_> gcj: dhclient as opposed to what?
[11:07] <BadRobot> :-D
[11:07] <gcj> crackhead100_: pump or dhcpcd
[11:07] <BadRobot> hi
[11:07] <gcj> why are there so many crackheads in this forum?
[11:08] <gcj> makes nick completion difficult
[11:08] <crackhead100_> gcj: and which do you recommend, and what's the differnece, and what was your problem, and how should i go about doing this?
[11:08] <crackhead100_> simplexio: i read that forum thread. it didn't help.
[11:08] <pnngl> is it safe to upgrade the linux kernel on ubuntu 7.10 ? (2.6.22- to 2.6.24)
[11:08] <gcj> crackhead100_: i can't recommend one or the other, just that not all of them work with all dhcp servers
[11:08] <BadRobot> has anyone been using the those huawei or vodafone usb modem?
[11:08] <simplexio> pnngl: if you know howto compile kernel right :)
[11:08] <gcj> but networkmanager may restrict your choices to whatever supports DBUS
[11:09] <gcj> BadRobot: i used a huawei one with edgy, worked for me
[11:09] <wols> wers: gmail has a nice tutorial how to configure thunderbird. follow it
[11:09] <ArthurArchnix> pnngl: It's safe to apply the updates from Ubuntu. As long as you haven't added any other repositories, or ubuntu backports, you should think of updates just like you used to think of windows updates. Which is to say, install them when they're available.
[11:09] <pnngl> simplexio: not really, no. but I have some VPN issues that seem to need the latest kernel.
[11:09] <ere4si> ikaro, you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and put a # (called a comment) in front of the line with the cd in it
[11:09] <gcj> hi all, when i install the nagios-nrpe-server package on dapper, I don't get any config files or initscript, even though they're listed in the package with dpkg -L they simply don't exist on the filesystem. what gives?
[11:09] <wers> wols. followed it. i just dont know what went wrong
[11:09] <crackhead100_> gcj: i just tried to run synaptic, and it said.. cannot load.. failed to run xauthorization.. do you kno how to fix this??
[11:09] <ArthurArchnix> pnngl: If you're talking about upgrading it yourself, then no. It's not safe.
[11:09] <gcj> crackhead100_, no
[11:10] <wols> crackhead100_: run it under sudp. use gksu
[11:10] <pnngl> ArthurArchnix: didn't know I could do that in an automated way. does synaptic takes care of it?
[11:10] <simplexio> pnngl: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu , i make and install  ubuntu kernel that way. work fine
[11:10] <monomaniacpat> Is it a bad idea to cancel a partition resize? My 500GB ext hdd will take another 93 hours to complete!?
[11:10] <gorski> is there any light pps wiever avaiable?
[11:11] <pale-yafa> hi, I just got postgres 8.3, noticed that it connects only on port 5433 and not 5432 like the other ones, anyway all is fine except that php is trying to connect to it at 5432 and not 5433? how to solve that?
[11:11] <ArthurArchnix> pnngl: Sure. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade applies all available updates. Ubuntu is configured to apply them or notify you by default.
[11:12] <Ximal> mono: just leave it on...  u can do stuff while it's sizing.. just not everything..
[11:12] <simplexio> pale-yafa: edit postgresql.conf
[11:12] <Ximal> mono : or you can make 4 or 5 multiples ... 100 each and then merge them  later when you have time ;)
[11:12] <ere4si> monomaniacpat, I wouldn't risk it - must be an old comp?
[11:12] <pale-yafa> simplexio: to 5432??
[11:12] <pnngl> simplexio: can't go to your link for now, my vpn is going mad. ArthurArchnix: thanks a lot, I'll do that.
[11:12] <monomaniacpat> Ximal: just worried about a power outage or something
[11:13] <monomaniacpat> The comp is about 1.5ghz
[11:13] <ikaro> ere4si, yes thank you, i found it on google after I remembered that its called repository
[11:13] <Ximal> are they frequent .. the power outage ?
[11:13] <ere4si> k
[11:13] <ikaro> :>
[11:13] <monomaniacpat> Occassional. once a month or two, maybe
[11:13] <ere4si> ikaro, still sounds funny :)
[11:13] <inversekinetix> can someone please help me for a few minutes?
[11:13] <Ximal> then it should be safe... worse case.. u have to start over..
[11:13] <simplexio> pale-yafa: ye. if it's free
[11:13] <Ximal> what's up inverse ?
[11:14] <simplexio> pale-yafa: or you can configure php to coonect 5433
[11:14] <inversekinetix> I was just using windows xp pro and I got a bsod, first time in 10 years
[11:14] <Ximal> then why are you here , sir ?
[11:14] <ere4si> !windows
[11:14] <ubotu> For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents
[11:14] <Ximal> we're linux.. not windows..
[11:14] <monomaniacpat> Ximal: when you say "worst case I'll have to start over" does that mean that cancelling or power out would not damage the hdd?
[11:14] <inversekinetix> windows wont boot and i had to mess around to get ubuntu to boot from another drive
[11:14] <Ximal> won't damage if u use the live cd mono... but there's a chance it could hurt it.. but i've never had it hurt it..
[11:15] <inversekinetix> now ALL my 500GB SATA drives are showing as 59.6GB and containing NOTHING
[11:15] <Ximal> Like I said.. do the safe thing.. format 100 gigs at a time... then you'll be safe to merge them later..
[11:15] <BadRobot> thx gcj
[11:15] <inversekinetix> anyone?
[11:15] <monomaniacpat> thanks
[11:16] <ikaro> ere4si, any suggestion to have an ftp up and running in 10 seconds?
[11:16] <pale-yafa> simplexio: have they changed the port in 8.3? or what is the deal?
[11:16] <ikaro> ere4si, this pure-ftpd configuration its nuts .. why cant i have a conf file like everywhere else..
[11:17] <ere4si> ikaro, never done an ftp server/client/anything - sorry
[11:17] <inversekinetix> please anyone? it looks like 2TB of data has vanished
[11:17] <gorski> is there any light pps wiever avaiable?
[11:18] <pawan> dreamscene for ubuntu
[11:18] <ere4si> inversekinetix, try mounting them with the live cd and seeing how they read
[11:18] <pawan> OR ROCKETDOCK FOR UBUNTU
[11:18] <ere4si> !caps | pawan
[11:18] <ubotu> pawan: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:18] <inversekinetix> how can i remount them from the installation I have now?
[11:19] <inversekinetix> ere4si
[11:20] <gopodge> gorski : pptview ?
[11:20] <gopodge> gorski : Have you tried pptview?
[11:20] <gorski> no
[11:20] <ndlovu> can I have a source that reads "deb ftp://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse" or do they need to be on separate lines?
[11:20] <ere4si> inversekinetix: aren't they showing as 59G and empty in ubuntu?
[11:20] <gopodge> gorski : it is available in the multiverse repository..
[11:21] <gorski> so there is maybe and doc and xls wievers also? gopodge
[11:21] <BadRobot> did you need to install anything? or it just worked out-of-box?
[11:21] <BadRobot> gcj
[11:23] <gopodge> gorski : it looks like they are using Wine to provide pptview functionality.
[11:23] <gopodge> gorski : Will OpenOffice not work for you?
[11:24] <gorski> it works, but it tooks long to load
[11:24] <bullgard4> Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or is there another one?
[11:25] <gopodge> gorski : abiword can open .doc files..
[11:26] <gorski> ok, but i thought it would be nice just to view them, not to edit them!
[11:26] <gopodge> goski : quite a few requests like yours on the internet..
[11:27] <gopodge> gorski : maybe you can load the Microsoft DOC,XLS,PPT viewers into Wine.. and view that way?
[11:28] <Lartza_> is there way to limit firefox bandwithd?
[11:28] <Lartza_> we have two comps in our house and when i play and other computer surfs my ping is sky high
[11:29] <Lartza_> mostly when beeing on flash site with firefox
[11:29] <simplexio> Lartza_: maybe. i know only way to limit specified port speed
[11:29] <Lartza_> on winblows
[11:29] <gorski> yes maybe, but ppsview is enough for now, thank you!
[11:29] <Lartza_> in firefox?
[11:29] <Lartza_> then i could limit port 80
[11:29] <simplexio> Lartza_: no. not from firefox : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7990.html
[11:30] <Lartza_> it wont work then
[11:30] <NetM> *Lartza_* i m not sure about this... try to find some extensions :)
[11:30] <inversekinetix> ere4si: yes thats what theyre showing in ubuntu
[11:30] <NetM> Search in extensions section
[11:31] <simplexio> Lartza_: but you need ubuntu(or generic  linux distro)  as router with that solution
[11:31] <wers> what's the shotrcut for redo if ctrl+what?
[11:31] <gopodge> Lartza : Try using Trickle.. http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle
[11:31] <ere4si> inversekinetix, then you may have altered the partitions with the bsod - the ubuntu live cd is a check only
[11:32] <Lartza_> i need to limit windows computers bandwithd and thought that could be easily done form firefox(for firefox only of coures) but it seems hrad
[11:33] <Lartza_> gopodge: Trickle for windows?
[11:33] <gopodge> Lartza_: What about Firefox Throttle for Windows? http://www.uselessapplications.com/en/Application/FirefoxThrottle.aspx
[11:33] <Lartza_> thx ill try
[11:36] <Ximal> is that throttle safe gopodge /
[11:36] <Ximal> ?
[11:36] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, here is my line from the grub menu: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-server root=UUID=9462e189-8ec0-4e53-b635-591954650b36 nmi_watchdog=0 ro quiet splash acpi=off
[11:36] <rares_ubuntu> but still the same problem
[11:36] <rares_ubuntu> i have to hard reboot the laptop
[11:37] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: remove acpi=off when you test nmi_watchdog
[11:37] <gopodge> Ximal: Don't know.. is Windows safe? :)
[11:37] <LimCore> trickle is not so good :/
[11:37] <VanXo> ackervoice.co.uk
[11:37] <LimCore> I hoped trickle would create a virtual eth card etc
[11:37] <rares_ubuntu> ok, i'll do that
[11:38] <gopodge> LimCore: Sounds like it intercepts all of the socket connections.. certainly one way of doing it..
[11:39] <LimCore> gopodge: only for one application, and doesn't always work - see BUG section of man
[11:40] <typhoon07> hi I am trying to install real player,  i have a .bin file and am unsure how to install it can anyone help
[11:40] <mavi-> run it =)
[11:40] <mavi-> its a executable
[11:41] <mavi-> but why would you ever want real player?
[11:41] <gopodge> LimCore: Good point. Something to consider.
[11:41] <typhoon07> apparently i need it to listen to bbc radio online
[11:41] <SleepingSloth> mavi - .rams?
[11:42] <mavi-> arent there better players for that?
[11:43] <SleepingSloth> avi - its a bbc requirement
[11:43] <SleepingSloth> *mavi
[11:44] <typhoon07> yeah i dont think you can use any other player for BBC stuff
[11:45] <MagnumRapper> if your using real player how do you connect to their network?
[11:47] <tomasko> hi, could someone help me get this usb mass storage device to work? http://pastebin.com/d67cdc69d -> lshw paste of relevant usb bus and device
[11:47] <tomasko> thanks
[11:48] <tomasko> my other usb devices work. this is an emperex 4G USB stick that i plugged in
[11:48] <tomasko> admittedly the other devices (all of which are plugged in to another USB-<number>) work off of that side
[11:49] <tomasko> i'll go mouseless for a bit (usb mouse) and try the usb device there before i ask for some help again
[11:49] <pawan> dreamscene in ubuntu
[11:50] <Surkow> hello peeps
[11:51] <lyric> svn_load_dirs.pl is gone since my last ubuntu update.
[11:52] <lyric> Is it no longer supported?
[11:52] <pawan> dreamscene in ubuntu
[11:53] <linduxed> ive got a mp3 that amarok wont play, is there a package for either recording output-sound or for fixing/converting mp3s to mp3s?
[11:53] <tomasko> linduxed: try dumping raw audio via mplayer -dumpaudio and then lame to encode to mp3
[11:53] <tomasko> btw, my usb device issue is temporarily 'fixed' thanks to sacrificing my mouse
[11:53] <Voltxion> hello, I was wondering how is the AMD64 version of ubuntu for basic web surfing and learning how to use ubuntu/linux in general? does flash9 work in firefox?
[11:54] <tomasko> apparently the stupid device doesn't work well in usb 2.0 hubs
[11:54] <linduxed> tomasko: ok and how do you lame encode
[11:54] <tomasko> linduxed: lame something.wav something.wav.mp3
[11:54] <kalatian> Voltxion: everything works fine, except for some proprietary stuff (namely, java and flash, but flash works now :)
[11:54] <kalatian> although maybe not "well"
[11:54] <tomasko> linduxed: besides that (for anything fancy), rtfm
[11:55] <tomasko> kalatian: Java is GPL'd now?
[11:55] <Voltxion> kalatian: Ahh, thank you
[11:55] <tomasko> though, agreed, flash sucks on amd64
[11:55] <achilles616> is there a way to install the ubuntu theme into say a different linux distro?
[11:55] <inversekinetix> ere4si: thanks for replying earlier, I have managed to get access to my data
[11:55] <tomasko> achilles616: you can use sabayon and then steal the compressed archive it creates and uncompress it on your target system
[11:56] <ere4si> inversekinetix, how did you do it pls - may help others :)
[11:56] <tomasko> i know it sounds complicated, but sabayon runs a mini-gnome for you, so what you see _is_ what you get :)
[11:56] <Ximal> inversekinetix : backup your data on flash ... disc of some kind... be it bluray or dvd r ... and another hd for firm backing up of your data..
[11:56] <tomasko> i forgot the specifics of where the archive is kept, i want to say it's in /tmp or /var/tmp
[11:56] <Ximal> else be it lose like that again..
[11:56] <kalatian> tomasko: if it isn't, 64bit hasn't gotten any applet love from it yet
[11:57] <inversekinetix> i dont know ere4si, i reset bios, fixed MBR, FIXED boot, and now it shows in ubuntu, windows is still borked though
[11:57] <kalatian> Voltxion: tomasko: but you can use icedtea to get most things working
[11:57] <kalatian> java wise, anyway
[11:57] <kalatian> other then that, there is no reason not to use 64bit
[11:57] <ere4si> inversekinetix, I'm happy your halfway there then :)
[11:58] <inversekinetix> Ximal  I have everything backed up, but 6TB of DVDs is a nightmare
[11:58] <Ximal> true that inverse ...
[11:58] <Miiiiles> Hi, i'm in trouble
[11:58] <inversekinetix> ere4si: 1 other question, my windows partition stopped showing up in ubuntu a long time ago, any idea how i can get it to show to save some important data
[11:58] <Ximal> I'm actually working on getting a couple terbs hd's to use ...
[11:58] <LoLLo> how can i put a music backgroung for an AVI video ? ? ?
[11:58] <Miiiiles> My Ext3 external HD reckognize every directory as if it was just a few bytes file
[11:59] <achilles616> tomasko.... i was hoping for something easy!
[11:59] <LoLLo> how can i put a music background* for an AVI video ? ? ?
[11:59] <Ximal> I am going to make a file server for my house .... mainly to backup the useless data I have..
[11:59] <Miiiiles> How can I fix this?
[11:59] <Ximal> mount it miles.
[11:59] <ere4si> inversekinetix, open the file /etc/fstab and see if it shows in there for a start
[11:59] <LoLLo> how can i put a music background* for an AVI video ? ? ?
[11:59] <lyric> Is svn_load_dirs.pl no longer supported?
[12:00] <inversekinetix> ere4si: how do i do that?
[12:00] <Miiiiles> Ximal, it IS mounted
[12:00] <bullgard4> Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or is there another one?
[12:00] <tomasko> achilles616: well that's the way i remember doing it because i needed a unified look for 30+ computers
[12:00] <simplexio> LoLLo: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t5.htm
[12:00] <achilles616> do you have the files tomasko?
[12:01] <linduxed> tomasko: wasnt needed, i noticed mplayer refused even touching the file....because it didnt have the suffix ".mp3"
[12:01] <inversekinetix> got it ere4si
[12:01] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, :( still not working
[12:01] <ere4si> inversekinetix, the file browser - or places comp - select the etc folder then scroll down to the text files and look for fstab
[12:01] <ere4si> k
[12:01] <Ximal> ok
[12:01] <rares_ubuntu> i wonder why it's working without the external monitor
[12:01] <tomasko> kalatian: there are plenty of reasons not to use 64 bit on a modern desktop, and there are a few advantages (in fact, only one _good_ one i can think of for some people otherwise)
[12:01] <inversekinetix> ere4si:  in the file browser it shows one partition of the windows HD but not the one with the file system
[12:02] <inversekinetix> can i pastebin it to you?>
[12:02] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: what driver you use in X
[12:02] <rares_ubuntu> nvidia 169
[12:02] <ere4si> inversekinetix,  paste away
[12:02] <ere4si> !paste
[12:02] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic)
[12:02] <inversekinetix> thanks

[12:05] <rares_ubuntu> simplexio, NVIDIA Driver Version 169.07
[12:05] <akoe_ceweq> ao
[12:05] <ere4si> inversekinetix, it shows four ntfs partitions - browse to the /media directory and see if they are there

[12:06] <Voltxion> Ok, I have another question, How should I go about installing ubuntu on a drive that already has windows XP installed on it, I have resized teh partitions so I have 150gb of free space.
[12:06] <inversekinetix> there are 4 partitions
[12:06] <inversekinetix> there should be 5
[12:07] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-305435.html
[12:07] <simplexio> rares_ubuntu: that could also help, no idea what it does thight

[12:08] <ere4si> inversekinetix, try -  sudo update-grub     in a terminal
[12:09] <ere4si> inversekinetix,  wait
[12:09] <kalatian> tomasko: what other disadvantages are there?
[12:09] <ere4si> inversekinetix, have you rebooted recently?
[12:09] <inversekinetix> i did grub, but i use wingrub and a modified boot.ini
[12:09] <inversekinetix> i had to reboot because everything borked
[12:10] <ere4si> inversekinetix, know nothing about that - sorry
[12:10] <ere4si> !grub | inversekinetix
[12:10] <ubotu> inversekinetix: 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
[12:11] <inversekinetix> theres no problem with grub
[12:12] <ere4si> inversekinetix, closest I can do for helping you with obscure boot params like that...
[12:13] <hischild> inversekinetix, you lost your boot.ini or what?
[12:14] <inversekinetix> no hischild nothing like that
[12:15] <inversekinetix> i got a BSOD from nowhere and need to retrieve a few files from the C partition before i reinstall
[12:15] <hischild> inversekinetix, aaah ... i see
[12:15] <hischild> inversekinetix, i was trying to see if i could figure it out somewhere above but that didn't make much sense ... but you can't see your windows drive?
[12:16] <bella> need help setting up external modem
[12:16] <inversekinetix> hischild: no i cant see the windows partition, i can see the other partition
[12:16] <Voltxion> If I just resized a partition on my windows HD and I install ubuntu on the free space thats left over will grub boot correctly?
[12:16] <Voltxion> after teh installation
[12:17] <hischild> inversekinetix, how many partitions do you see total? i see 6 in your fstab (including swap and root both as 1)
[12:17] <DSLNitroray> hischild: How can i run something like sampsvr022, but not on the background ?
[12:17] <hischild> idk?

[12:18] <gorski> how to enable this command at boot up?: sudo mount -o bind /media/hda5 /var/ftp/hda5
[12:18] <DSLNitroray> !repeat ? BElla
[12:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about repeat ? bella - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:18] <DSLNitroray> !repeat | Bella
[12:18] <ubotu> Bella: 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
[12:18] <J-_> !pppoe > bella
[12:19] <hischild> inversekinetix, alright ... all 4 show in  your fstab so you should be able to see them. However i have a feeling there is another partition out there that your windows is on ...c orrect?
[12:19] <inversekinetix> hischild: 4 drives  1= 100gb windows(cant see)/400gb data   1=500gb data  1 = 500gb data   1=80 linux root/swap
[12:19] <hischild> inversekinetix, aah i c ... and in nautilus it doesn't show either? (they sometimes show there without reason ... )
[12:20] <bella> thanks ubotu
[12:21] <inversekinetix> it shows the partion as sda1  59.6GB no files
[12:21] <inversekinetix> brb, gonna try something
[12:21] <jovitosg> hey people. do you know a good website to catch icons for the softwares of ubuntu?
[12:21] <hischild> inversekinetix, if it doesn't show as having files there are 2 possibilities ... one is that it screwed over, second is that you have to mount it ... second is much more likely :-)
[12:22] <bella> question : my modem Eternal sitecom dials but doesn't connect can somebody help me correct configuration the same model works straight away under puppy linux
[12:23] <J-_> bella: Dialup?
[12:23] <gorski> how to enable this command at boot up?: sudo mount -o bind /media/hda5 /var/ftp/hda5
[12:23] <jrib> gorski: use /etc/fstab
[12:24] <jrib> !fstab > gorski (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:25] <gorski> jrib, ok but how do i write options -o bind?
[12:25] <jrib> gorski: at least take a look at the link ubotu sent you.  If you are still not sure, then ask again
[12:25] <jovitosg> good morning. hey people do you know a good website to catch icons for the softwares of my ubuntu?
[12:28] <bella> yes J dial up
[12:28] <LoLLo> how can we define compiz-fusion ? an application ?
[12:28] <bella> J-_:  yes dial up
[12:29] <jrib> LoLLo: what do you mean?
[12:29] <Slart> jovitosg: there's gnome-look and it's friends.. I think there are icons there

[12:29] <duckly> i want to install widows on a partition. but i have linux already installed and i dont want to mess up grubb... suggestions?
[12:29] <hischild> LoLLo, repeating doesn't make it clearer what you mean
[12:29] <jrib> duckly: install windows and then restore grub
[12:29] <jrib> !grub > duckly (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:30] <duckly> jrib: how do i restore grubb?
[12:30] <LoLLo> jrib uhm ... compiz-fusion can be called " a program " or " an application " ?
[12:30] <hischild> duckly, read the pm from ubotu
[12:30] <Pici> LoLLo: Whats the difference?
[12:30] <Slart> LoLLo: it is definately an application/program/piece of software
[12:30] <jovitosg> slart. can you talk more details about this this friends?
[12:30] <LoLLo> ok thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[12:31] <bella> question : my modem Eternal sitecom dials but doesn't connect can somebody help me correct configuration the same model works straight away under puppy linux

[12:34] <duckly> hischild: thank u as well :)
[12:34] <hischild> yw
[12:35] <Squawk> duckly, easiest way is probably to get an ubuntu livecd and just re-install grub to the mbr after installing winblows
[12:35] <hischild> Squawk, be nice ... winbugs :-)
[12:35] <LoLLo> only ubuntu can support compiz-fusion
[12:35] <bella> I need help with dial up ......question : my modem Eternal sitecom dials but doesn't connect can somebody help me correct configuration the same model works straight away under puppy linux
[12:36] <bella> please I need help with dial up ......question : my modem Eternal sitecom dials but doesn't connect can somebody help me correct configuration the same model works straight away under puppy linux
[12:36] <Slart> bella: try waiting at least 5 minutes before repeating your question.. probably noone knows the answer to your question.. or they would have answered by now.. try getting some more info.. error messages.. look in your system logs.. google for "+ubuntu +"eternal sitecom"".. tell us what you've found out so far
[12:36] <Squawk> bella, repeating your question is morelikely to stop people answer/anger them
[12:36] <Squawk> if someone knows they will answer, if they dont, they stay quiet
[12:37] <lakeoftea> this is a totally random question : but why to trace routes sometimes can't return some of the hops near the end of the trace route, like when it's getting closer  to the address your tracerouting ???
[12:37] <lakeoftea> i know you smart linux ppl can answer that one
[12:37] <Squawk> lakeoftea, it depends on a number of factors
[12:37] <lakeoftea> *how come . . .
[12:37] <duckly> Squawk: ok. well i will not run ubuntu. but gentoo. but i will do it from a ubuntu cd :) thanks for the help :)
[12:37] <lakeoftea> squawk : shoot
[12:37] <hischild> lakeoftea, that's easy. The further a packet goes, the harder it becomes to get back. So then it might get lost. (in a nutshell ... it's rather complicated to explain it all)
[12:37] <Squawk> lakeoftea, some routers/servers on the router will be actively setup to block pings. Others run operating systems that send the ping back but with a ttl of 1, which means it never reaches you. In both cases, you get no response
[12:38] <LoLLo> only ubuntu can support compiz-fusion ? ? ?
[12:38] <Squawk> duckly, gentoo is the same
[12:38] <Slart> "it might get lost" ? that must be the worst explanation yet ;)
[12:38] <lakeoftea> ahhhhhhhhhhh
[12:38] <jrib> LoLLo: no
[12:38] <Squawk> duckly, I run gentoo also (why are you asking this in #ubuntu), and I know the gentoo livecd is perfectly capable of a grub re-install
[12:38] <hischild> Slart, yeah ... it's far from perfect ... but i couldn't think of a better one :p besides, it's not certain it'll get lost :-)
[12:38] <lakeoftea> so people deliberately set their servers up so they won't return pings
[12:38] <hischild> Squawk, you know supergrub can do that as well?
[12:39] <Squawk> never heard of supergrub
[12:39] <lakeoftea> so that's probably why my traceroute to some asian sountry got shot down early, b.c. of that damn firewall of china ???
[12:39] <lakeoftea> they censored my ass ??
[12:39] <Squawk> lakeoftea, can be many reasons
[12:39] <Squawk> lakeoftea, of traceroute bbc.co.uk, you will not get a complete result
[12:39] <lakeoftea> do they do that to protect themselves maybe?
[12:39] <hischild> Squawk, it's a 3 meg cd image that can you boot of ... can restore windows mbr, linux mbr, combinations ... basically every possibility for grub is in there ... and it even contains screen to screen help texts
[12:40] <hischild> newbie can do it :-)
[12:40] <duckly> Squawk: gentoo livecd crashes on my hardware, but ubuntu works :)
[12:40] <Squawk> lakeoftea, put my name in posts if you want me to see it, so my nick gets highlighted. And not protection, just the way some routers work
[12:40] <humbolto> does my launchpad account not work for ubuntu brainstrorm?
[12:40] <Squawk> duckly, lol. Fair enough, install of gentoo must have been fun. its not exactly a cakewalk with the cd
[12:40] <Squawk> hischild, nice, i will put that on my reading list
[12:40] <lakeoftea> squak
[12:41] <lakeoftea> er squak | thanks for the explaination
[12:41] <hischild> !tab > lakeoftea  (read the pm)
[12:41] <Slart> humbolto: have you tried?
[12:41] <Squawk> Ok, to all in channel, why does everyone call me Squak. Why does nobody, and I mean nobody, see the w?
[12:41] <hischild> Squawk, i do call you Squawk , even with a capital!
[12:41] <Slart> Squawk: they call me start.. you just have to live with it =)
[12:41] <Squawk> hischild, yeah but I bet you use tab complete
[12:42] <hischild> Squawk, good point ... it saves so much typing
[12:42] <Slart> things would be easier if it wasn't for that squarebracket guy.. =)
[12:42] <tjacobs> quit
[12:42] <Squawk> try /quit tjacobs
[12:42] <bella> find nothing Squawk
[12:42] <duckly> Squawk: hehe a week has gone... and still no netwerk and the kernel refuses to load any modules. but i can boot..hehe
[12:43] <hischild> ooh this is great ... windows crashes in virtualbox but ubuntu keeps running ... <3
[12:43] <Squawk> bella, does your modem require firmware taht you havent got in ubuntu?
[12:43] <Squawk> duckly, a week? if I was helping you a week ago I dont remember...
[12:43] <lakeoftea> hischild | good tip !!!
[12:44] <bella> it work instantly in puppy linux Squawk
[12:44] <duckly> Squawk: i mean i started installing last saturday. SNd
[12:44] <lakeoftea> i'm running IRC on a p3 500 mhz through pcanywhere using emule as irc client : not recommended
[12:44] <hischild> lakeoftea, i only type lak and then hit tab to type your name :-)
[12:44] <Squawk> bella, great, but this isnt puppy linux. Hence, find outwhats missing (firmware was my first suggestion)
[12:44] <bella> and saitecom says it is fully linux compliant
[12:44] <lakeoftea> but incredibly fun for some reason
[12:44] <Squawk> duckly, are you chaning your kernel config? if so, have you actualy got module loading support compiled in?
[12:45] <bella> the modem is detected dials but connection isn't not established squawk
[12:45] <Squawk> lakeoftea, if you wanna run irc remotely, use a combination of ssh, screen and irssi
[12:45] <co_hUjaN> end
[12:45] <Squawk> bella, configuration (username password etc) correct?
[12:45] <bella> therefore no firm ware
[12:46] <duckly> Squawk: i did a module install. so i dont know what it can be.
[12:46] <bella> yes Squawk
[12:47] <hischild> Squawk,   lsmod and grep for the module?
[12:47] <Lightmans> hello, sombody here who have some experience with kernel building and amd64 arch.? iam trying to build the kernel 2.6.24.3 for ubuntu 7.10 and need some answers from somebody who have more know-how
[12:48] <duckly> Squawk: actuly i did a extra module install just to be on the safe side... but do i have to copy the bzimage to my /boot agai after module install?
[12:48] <duckly> again
[12:48] <hischild> Lightmans, perhaps you can be more specific as i'm sure there are those around that can help around when they know what you want
[12:49] <bella> I give up
[12:49] <Squawk> duckly, no you shouldnt have to
[12:49] <cyphase> What eventually became Compiz Fusion -> http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots
[12:49] <Squawk> bella, what do the logs say ?
[12:49] <Lightmans> @hischild; ok i will try to make my first question: how can i identify what ubuntu arch i installed? i dont remember if i installed the i386 or the amd64 arch from ubuntu desktio
[12:49] <Squawk> hischild, grep for which modules? sorry got distracted? if his module isnt loading then lsmod wont tell you anything
[12:49] <ricardoromao> hello everybody, someone could help me, I have a instalation with ubuntu 7.10 on Asus k8u-x motherboard and when I gonna move some file from one partion to other, they freeze and blink the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights. Anybody knows what this means ? tks
[12:50] <Squawk> Lightmans, uname -a
[12:50] <bella> dont know I am not under ubuntu right now so....
[12:50] <Lightmans> no uname -r brings me only the actual kernel name
[12:50] <Lightmans> for ex. 2.6.23.3
[12:50] <Lightmans> but not the archictcture
[12:50] <Squawk> Lightmans, make that uname -m
[12:51] <Lightmans> now i have i686
[12:51] <Lightmans> are you sure that is the cpu archticture? and ubuntu installation?
[12:51] <[blackb]> server irc.oltrelinux.com
[12:51] <juice__> moro
[12:51] <Vadi> When I go to "file:///home/vadi/" in firefox, it displays all my files.. is this a firefox thing or is something displaying all my files to the world?
[12:51] <hischild> Squawk, well considering how he asks the questions, i'm not sure wether it is loaded. And loading a module twice gives the same error as not loading it ... thus the checking for if it is actually loaded
[12:51] <bella> k bye this is not so nice
[12:52] <Squawk> hischild, fair point
[12:52] <_YbbIua> :)
[12:52] <hischild> Squawk, besides it's better to be safe then sorry ;-)
[12:52] <duckly> do u know how to cach linux bootcd in ram? id doesnt support docach. workaround?
[12:52] <Squawk> hischild, live on the edge ;)
[12:52] <duckly> Squawk: do u know how to cach linux bootcd in ram? id doesnt support docach. workaround?
[12:52] <Squawk> duckly, no idea im afriad
[12:53] <duckly> Squawk: ok
[12:53] <hischild> Squawk, ofcourse, that is always great :-) i do that with my pc ... which took me literally hours to figure out and even as we speak it's not running as it should  ... but hey it does the job :P
[12:53] <Dr_willis> duckly,  you may want to claify as to what you are wanting to do exactly. Your statement is not very clear.
[12:53] <hischild> Squawk, and that's the fastest way to learn :-)
[12:54] <Squawk> hischild, fastest way to learn is to install gentoo, curse for a while, use it for a month, figure out how you should have done it differently, and then re-install.  For ubuntu, best way to learn about your system is to try to compile a custom kernel...
[12:54] <jtravnick> are there any chat programs for yahoo that suport cams?
[12:55] <hischild> Squawk, i can compile a custom kernel ... but mine does work for a change :P
[12:55] <hischild> wait
[12:55] <hischild> make that could

[12:59] <juice_> where /how do i get vmware?
[12:59] <juice_> !vmware
[12:59] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[12:59] <jaek_eee> why was vmware player removed in gusty?
[13:00] <ere4si> What a great confirmation! - three replies with the same answer - I'm so confident
[13:00] <ere4si> :)
[13:00] <duckly> Dr_willis: and toram doesnt come up as an option on the livecd i think...
[13:00] <Dr_willis> duckly,   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/25496

[13:02] <duckly> Dr_willis: a boot option in sabayone and gentoo(i think). caches the cd to ram...
[13:03] <Squawk> ere4si, can I ask what you want that for? your path is something you should not play with until you understand the consequences

[13:05] <LoLLo> i've done that videoooo !
[13:05] <ere4si> Squawk, forgot the $...
[13:06] <Agion> Any tips to stop the lagging of my system?
[13:07] <Squawk> ere4si, putting a $ infront of any set of letters means you are accessing a variable. So think of your $PATH as being a variable and you will remember. To understand, try a=1; echo "$a"
[13:07] <Squawk> Agion, you need to be much more verbose than that
[13:08] <duckly> Dr_willis: what is casper. so toram doesnt work :-\
[13:08] <ere4si> Squawk, it was a matter of lack of use and being awake for 22 hrs :)

[13:10] <Squawk> duckly, I think the livecd pretty much puts an optimal ammount of itself in RAM by default (I could be wrong)
[13:10] <Squawk> Agion, the system or you desktop environment?
[13:10] <danand> LoLLo - i like :)
[13:10] <Squawk> Agion, you need to define lagging more clearly
[13:10] <LoLLo> yeee thx !
[13:10] <Agion> the whole system i think
[13:11] <nanbudh> There might be a way to have a portion of the disk dedicated to livecd ? is there?
[13:11] <Squawk> Agion, run "top", and see whats using your resources
[13:11] <Agion> its y'now, like when I open a window it takes 30 secs from it to open..
[13:11] <pwuertz> yea... just install ubuntu
[13:11] <nanbudh> I think there is such a think in Knoppix
[13:11] <Agion> top at console?
[13:11] <duckly> Squawk: i think u are wrong...
[13:11] <Squawk> Agion, yeah
[13:11] <duckly> :-\
[13:11] <Squawk> duckly, very possibly, I dont know much about livecd
[13:11] <nanbudh> No no i din mean install ubuntu, just a swap space kinda thing
[13:12] <duckly> Squawk: np i just live there so i get a little bit annoyed :)
[13:12] <shaula> how can I adjust the color depth of the desktop?
[13:12] <nanbudh> another idea is to copy  livecd onto usb stick. That should be faster
[13:13] <duckly> bye bye all! have a nice day!
[13:13] <Agion> xorg takes all my resources...
[13:13] <Agion> how can I fix it?
[13:13] <Vadi> When I go to "file:///home/vadi/" in firefox, it displays all my files.. is this a firefox thing or is something displaying all my files to the world?
[13:13] <noob-400> how do i check/set the permissions of a particular group?
[13:14] <noob-400> i know how to check/set them for a user..  but not sure on a group
[13:14] <Squawk> Agion, you could try stopping it and then starting it again (reboot or else kill gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm restart)
[13:15] <noob-400> i want to set the "administrators" group to have stronger permissions than the "users" group
[13:15] <Lightmans> hi, can somebody tell me if this is amd64 oder i386 -> uname -R -> Linux debian 2.6.24.3 #2 SMP Fri Feb 29 11:53:32 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[13:15] <Squawk> Lightmans, thats i686
[13:15] <Squawk> Lightmans, amd64 will show up as x86_64
[13:15] <bazhang> Lightmans: is that Hardy?
[13:15] <Lightmans> no its ubuntu gusty
[13:16] <Lightmans> but thats not possible ... i remeber that i installed for some month the amd64 version and not the i386 of ubuntu
[13:16] <bazhang> wrong kernel for gutsy
[13:16] <Squawk> Lightmans, uname -m will give you less output but tell you wnat you need
[13:16] <Pici> Lightmans: What version does lsb_release -a say you are using?
[13:17] <Lightmans> root@debian:/home/harald# lsb_release -a
[13:17] <Lightmans> No LSB modules are available.
[13:17] <Lightmans> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[13:17] <Lightmans> Description:    Ubuntu 7.10
[13:17] <Lightmans> Release:        7.10
[13:17] <Lightmans> Codename:       gutsy
[13:17] <FloodBot3> Lightmans: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:17] <Gizmo431> my ubuntu will not boot it hangs at the bit where the icon turns into a circle
[13:17] <Gizmo431> can anyhelp
[13:18] <Lightmans> but why its the wrong kernel for gusty? it build it tonight and it works ... but i wannt the amd64 kernel build
[13:18] <hischild> Gizmo431,  can you be more specific? like what have you changed? have you tried to remove quiet and splash from the boot options?
[13:18] <mikedep334> hey, I had a power failure multiple times, so my root filesystem was not unmounted cleanly. How do I force a fsck?
[13:18] <bazhang> aha you built it yourself
[13:18] <Squawk> Gizmo431, your ubuntu has booted fine, what is not working is xorg/gnome. Look in xorg.log
[13:18] <alsadk> after search for channals i get channals but when i try to watch on one of them i get a message its xine error - kaffeine player (no plugin found to handle this resource (/home/alsadk/.kaxtv1.ts) whats your suggests?
[13:18] <mikedep334> on my root filesystem
[13:18] <Gizmo431> i dont know how to do that
[13:18] <Lightmans> iam not more sure what i installed ... i dont remeber if i installed the i386 version or the amd64 version
[13:18] <Gizmo431> i added a init.d script yesterday fro ossec
[13:18] <Squawk> alsadk, that means you dont have the right codec/plugin to play whatever content that is
[13:19] <Lightmans> because i can also not install the original nvidia modul for 64bit systems
[13:19] <waylandbill> Gizmo431: did you try disabling the init script?
[13:19] <Magilla> does anyone know a mailserver that can download from POP accounts and re-serve as IMAP?
[13:19] <noob-400> Hi all,  how do i check/set the permissions of a particular group?
[13:19] <Lightmans> i got the error msg that i dont usw the 64bit arch...
[13:19] <alsadk> how can i know the required codec>?
[13:19] <Squawk> Gizmo431, have a look at /var/log/xorg.log (might be spelled slightly different. Lookinga thte last few lines
[13:19] <noob-400> i know how to check/set them for a user..  but not sure on a group
[13:19] <mikedep334> anyone, how to fsck my root filesystem?
[13:19] <noob-400> i want to set the "administrators" group to have stronger permissions than the "users" group
[13:19] <waylandbill> Magilla: you may want to look at the 'fetchmail' package. It might be the place to start.
[13:20] <Magilla> thanks waylandbill
[13:20] <Pici> mikedep334: sudo touch /forcefsck      then reboot.
[13:20] <mikedep334> Pici: thanks alot
[13:20] <Squawk> Magilla, a mail server doesnt download pop accounts. What you are after is 2 different bits of software
[13:20] <Magilla> Squawk: I believe Exchange SBS does it ;P
[13:20] <Squawk> Magilla, you want something like fetchmail to get mail off a pop serer, and then something like qmail or sendmail to act as another mail server
[13:21] <alsadk> squawk how can i know the required codec>?
[13:21] <Magilla> ah
[13:21] <Lightmans> pico and squawk... and idee how can this possible...?
[13:21] <Squawk> alsadk, google im afraid
[13:21] <alsadk> th x
[13:21] <bazhang> alsadk: what file format
[13:21] <Squawk> Lightmans, eitehr you recompiled a kernel and missed something in the config, or else got the wrong file when you installed
[13:21] <alsadk> for kafeine
[13:21] <alsadk> for watching tv
[13:22] <bazhang> alsadk you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ?
[13:22] <alsadk> let me find out
[13:23] <stefano_> !list
[13:23] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[13:23] <Squawk> Magilla, there may well be software out there that does that function taht I am not aware of, but if there is then it is more than just a mail server. I never used exchange
[13:23] <Lightmans> as i configured the .config in activate the athlon64/opteron/k8
[13:23] <Lightmans> Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
[13:24] <Lightmans> is this not the right processior family for a AMD cpu x2 4800+ ?
[13:24] <alsadk> bazhang yes
[13:24] <Squawk> Lightmans, il check my ow, since I have an athlond x2 4400+
[13:24] <bazhang> alsadk you say watch tv--what website?
[13:24] <alsadk> ?
[13:24] <waylandbill> Magilla: squawk is right. the fetchmail is the place to start since it gets from a pop server, but you still need an imapd server. It does involve a little bit of work. If you just want to use imap instead of pop you could consider a gmail account.
[13:24] <Gizmo431> ts saying it cant open wacom
[13:25] <Anchakor> hi, is anyone here to whom I can report a problem with website?
[13:25] <alsadk> i have a skystar 2 pci
[13:25] <noob-400> Hi all,  how do i check/set the permissions of a particular group?.. i know how to check/set them for a user..  but not sure on a group..  i want to set the "administrators" group to have stronger permissions than the "users" group
[13:25] <waylandbill> Gizmo431: that's normal if you don't have a wacom device.
[13:25] <alsadk> bazhang  i have skystar2 pci
[13:25] <bazhang> alsadk this is satellite tv then?
[13:25] <alsadk> yes
[13:25] <Gizmo431> hmm. im a bit stuck really
[13:25] <Magilla> waylandbill: I'm setting up a home router box for the family connection
[13:25] <alsadk> bazhang yes
[13:25] <noob-400> is this even possible??
[13:26] <Magilla> I want to aggregate the x email accounts each person owns into a single box for them
[13:26] <bazhang> Anchakor: what website and what does this have to do with ubuntu?
[13:26] <Anchakor> bazhang: ubuntu.com
[13:26] <alsadk> bazhang it was ok before reinstalling ubuntu
[13:26] <Lightmans> or is it this? for amd64 cpu 4800+ x2? -> 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX
[13:26] <waylandbill> Magilla: gotcha.
[13:27] <Squawk> Lightmans, I have generic x86_64 as my processor type
[13:27] <Gizmo431> arrrrrrrrgh
[13:27] <Lightmans> i dont have this in my menuconfig
[13:27] <bazhang> Anchakor: what is the problem exactly?
[13:27] <Anchakor> bazhang: I use theme with inverted colours (back bg, white text) and the website displays wrongly
[13:27] <Squawk> Lightmans, I know you need to set the right profile in gentoo, so probably also in ubuntu, but I have only been using ubuntu a week, still learnign where it keeps stuff
[13:27] <Anchakor> bazhang: http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ubuntuhomepageubunturu5.png
[13:27] <bazhang> alsadk I have no idea about satellite tv sorry
[13:28] <alsadk> thx
[13:28] <Lightmans> strange
[13:28] <alsadk> bazhang thx
[13:28] <rvgate> what is the package called that enabled me to configure compiz with a gui at the System -> Preferences -> Appearance in the Visual effects tab?
[13:29] <waylandbill> noob-400: You might want to learn more about permissions. linuxbasics.org has an excellent tutorial on permissions in a linux system.
[13:29] <noob-400> thanks waylandbill
[13:29] <Squawk> Lightmans, i would need to reboot to my original ubuntu install to check what profile I had when I first installed, as I said im using a custom kernel. I have no clue where the architecture is set in ubuntu (trying to figure it out now)
[13:30] <alsadk> what i must install to compile progs from the source ?
[13:30] <idyllic> rvgate: compizconfig-settings-manager
[13:31] <rvgate> idyllic, thx !
[13:32] <idyllic> rvgate: after install, you will see it under System -> Preference -> Advance Desktop Effect Setting
[13:32] <Tu13es> does ubuntu have a build in grub manager?
[13:32] <PriceChild> Tu13es, yes, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[13:32] <Tu13es> :P
[13:33] <hischild> Tu13es, not as far as i know, but you can use the command line *points at PriceChild*  or get one via synaptic
[13:33] <Tu13es> I installed another distro and am trying to figure out the easiest way to add that distro to my grub conf
[13:33] <Squawk> !ubotu | Squawk
[13:33] <PriceChild> Tu13es, copy the entries from that distro's grub configuration file into ubutnu's
[13:34] <Sinnerman> PriceChild doesn't grub have option for autodetection of those?
[13:34] <PriceChild> Sinnerman, i guess
[13:35] <Gizmo431> waylandbill:you have any other ideas
[13:35] <Sinnerman> PriceChild at least, i seem to remember, at install time it did the looking itself, and correctly identified all my OS including windows xp.
[13:36] <waylandbill> Gizmo431: do you get to the welcome screen at least?
[13:36] <Gizmo431> to type in my username
[13:36] <Gizmo431> no
[13:37] <Gizmo431> ???
[13:37] <Tu13es> PriceChild: I can't get into the other distro because it goes right to ubuntu's grub :P
[13:37] <waylandbill> Sinnerman: the program that does that is 'update-grub'
[13:38] <Sinnerman> waylandbill thanks. Tu13es you might find that useful.
[13:38] <Squawk> Tu13esm, mount the partioin on which your old grub resides, and copy the info?
[13:38] <PriceChild> Tu13es, man mount
[13:38] <Tu13es> PriceChild: gotcha.
[13:38] <Tu13es> yep
[13:39] <waylandbill> Gizmo431: you could try stopping gdm and starting X manually from a virtual terminal.
[13:39] <test3r> hey i got Ubuntu 7.10 up and going on a COmpaq DeskPro 733Mhrz Intel810 chipset. using built-in video. My question is- after install- I had to knock the Screen Res back down to 1024x768. However the login screen's res is STILL too high. Is there a way I can set the res of that login screen?
[13:40] <test3r> short of installing the tool one would use to "skin" GNOME?
[13:40] <Squawk> test3r, you can set resolution in xorg.conf, which should sort it
[13:41] <waylandbill> test3r: you could remove modes you don't want from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[13:41] <idyllic> test3r: edit /etc/usplash.conf
[13:41] <test3r> OK so just take out that nasty mode that doesnt work? OKI'll give that a shot and come bak tell u if it werkz. ill make bakup of CONF first too OOOOOOOOOOOOO  now SEE thats the one i think i need
[13:41] <idyllic> test3r: xres=1024 yres=768
[13:41] <test3r> idyllic  > ty ! writing now
[13:42] <bazhang> aldadk sorry had to step away; build-essential is what you want for compiling
[13:42] <kah0s> Hi i need help configuring desktop effect with a GMA chiset on gutsy
[13:42] <test3r> OK i try . bbs.
[13:42] <brobostigon> good afternoon everyone
[13:42] <bazhang> kah0s: you have ccsm installed?
[13:43] <waylandbill> brobostigon: hello. although it's mid morning here. :)
[13:43] <kah0s> bazhang:  mhh ccsm what is that ?
[13:43] <idyllic> kah0s: compizconfig-settings-manager packer
[13:43] <idyllic> *package
[13:43] <bazhang> compizconfig-settings-manager kah0s
[13:44] <kah0s> bazhang: yes i do have ccsm installed
[13:44] <Tu13es> hmm
[13:44] <bazhang> kah0s: and you have the proper drivers for your intel card installed?
[13:44] <Tu13es> how should I reorder grub listings?
[13:45] <Tu13es> it says "blah blah don't touch these"
[13:45] <Squawk> Tu13es, to suit yourself, it makes sod all difference
[13:45] <JorgenVonPilot> Hey all, have a question about installation, couldn't find anything online. I'm on a laptop that the CD-ROM has died on, it has no floppy drive. Does Ubuntu offer any installation solutions?
[13:45] <Pici> !install | JorgenVonPilot
[13:45] <ubotu> JorgenVonPilot: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[13:45] <Tu13es> Squawk: gotcha, I wasn't sure if it'd fubar something
[13:45] <Squawk> Tu13es, backup the original unless you are 100% certain of what you are doing
[13:45] <bazhang> JorgenVonPilot: you can try to use a usb stick though you have to format and set it up yourself
[13:45] <kah0s> bazhang: well i have all xorg intel stuff
[13:46] <bazhang> kah0s: then alt f2 compiz --replace
[13:46] <alsadk> what i must install to compile progs from the source ?
[13:46] <Tu13es> how do I make an entry the default one?
[13:46] <hischild> alsadk, build-essential and any other things you might need
[13:46] <bazhang> alsadk build-essential
[13:47] <alsadk> hischild whats the other things ?
[13:47] <Sinnerman> at the moment i've got my kernel booting in verbose mode, but it only allows 80 columns of text and messages appear skewed. is there a way to either widen the console or have it boot in framebuffer mode or something, as i've noticed the livecd boot up, and its messages are crisp and well-placed?
[13:47] <Mythor> After a update of Hardy, ubuntu no longer loads kernel drivers by its self, they are there, and manual loading does work, how can i fix this?
[13:47] <idyllic> Tu13es: u see "default 0" ? substitute it with the entry u want to make default
[13:48] <kah0s> bazhang: it tells me that no xgl is presetn
[13:48] <bazhang> Mythor: head to #ubuntu+1
[13:48] <Mythor> bazhang: will do
[13:48] <hischild> alsadk, if you try to compile it and it says it is missing a package, then you know you need that one as well. Usually if you run configure it will tell you which packages it needs
[13:48] <Capa> hola
[13:48] <__mikem> I have successfully dual booted my HP Pavilion. :)
[13:48] <idyllic> Tu13es: change the number 0 only.. to like 1 for 2nd entry, 2 for 3rd entry so on
[13:48] <Blice> Does anyone here have experience joining a windows domain?
[13:49] <bazhang> kah0s: then install xserver-xgl
[13:50] <bazhang> !yay | __mikem
[13:50] <ubotu> __mikem: Glad you made it! :-)
[13:50] <bazhang> Blice: using samba?
[13:50] <Blice> Because I've been trying to join this windows domain for the past couple of days, and to make matters worse, I can't use my root password anymore...
[13:50] <Blice> Yeah, bazhang.
[13:51] <cover> ,l
[13:51] <cover> nk,
[13:51] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently Blice have you seen this?
[13:51] <Tu13es> PriceChild: I copied the line from my other distro's menu.lst, but when I boot to it I get disk not found, hrm
[13:52] <bazhang> cover you have a support question?
[13:52] <Blice> Meh, I don't need the shared folders. I just need to be a part of the local domain here.
[13:52] <mb_> !flash > mohbana
[13:52] <mb_> poo
[13:52] <Blice> And I don't know how I messed up my root password with this
[13:52] <kah0s> bazhang: will do that now thx
[13:52] <hischild> Blice, can't use root password?
[13:52] <Blice> Yeah
[13:52] <hischild> Blice, use sudo?
[13:52] <Blice> Nope.
[13:52] <Blice> Won't work.
[13:52] <bazhang> should be sudo
[13:53] <Blice> The password is wrong for some reason
[13:53] <mb_> ~flash
[13:53] <mb_> how do i install flash
[13:53] <bazhang> for firefox mb_?
[13:53] <hischild> Blice, you do log in as your user with a password ... and when you type sudo ls it just ... tells you it's wrong? you do know you have to type your password right?
[13:53] <hischild> !flash
[13:53] <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

[13:53] <mb_> bazhang, yes
[13:54] <waylandbill> Blice: sudo password should be your password.
[13:54] <Blice> I know, hischild. I can't use synaptic, I can't use root terminal, I can't user sudo;
[13:54] <bazhang> mb_: install the flash plugin nonfree
[13:54] <hischild> Blice, well first things first : your password :p
[13:54] <Blice> When it asks me for my password, it says it's wrong.
[13:54] <esox>  Hi, Iève this problem : when I open synaptic it asks to run dpkg --configure -a , I I do this (with sudo) I get an error
[13:54] <jrib> esox: you need to pastebin the error you receive
[13:54] <bazhang> esox what error
[13:54] <hischild> Blice, alright ...
[13:55] <Blice> :(
[13:55] <Blice> "Sorry, try again"
[13:55] <Blice> >:(
[13:55] <hischild> Blice, you can use sudo without password ... after you edit the file that handles permissions ...
[13:55] <Blice> Sigh. But can I edit that file without root access?
[13:56] <hischild> Blice, please tell  me you didn't disable recovery mode?
[13:56] <Blice> I should still have recovery mode.
[13:56] <esox> jrib: bazhang : http://pastebin.com/m79759687
[13:56] <waylandbill> Blice: single user mode or with a livecd you should be able to edit the sudoers file.
[13:57] <hischild> Blice, then boot into recovery mode, when you get your prompt type visudo ... you ahve to add a new line ... Blice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD (mind the blanks, there's 2 total)
[13:57] <hischild> Blice, if your user is named blice ofcourse :-)
[13:57] <Blice> It is :]
[13:57] <hischild> Blice, .... woops ... forgot the brackets
[13:57] <hischild> Blice, nvm ... ti's correct ...
[13:57] <Blice> So I put....
[13:58] <rhineheart_m> what is needed by the box to send mails?
[13:58] <Blice> Blice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD
[13:58] <Blice> ?
[13:58] <hischild> brice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:58] <hischild> sorry .. missed that last one .. had to check it
[13:58] <waylandbill> I would think you'd put Blice ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:58] <hischild> waylandbill, yeah ... i did that of the top of my head ... and missed the last one
[13:59] <Blice> Okay, so, "blice ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"
[13:59] <Blice> Got it.
[13:59] <hischild> Blice, correct
[13:59] <idyllic> test3r: sorry sorry
[13:59] <Blice> I'll do this in a minute, but before I do, do you have any suggestions for joining the domain?
[13:59] <Blice> Are there any errors in the conf files I pasted?
[13:59] <idyllic> test3r: i gave you a wrong instruction
[13:59] <esox> no idea ?
[13:59] <hischild> Blice, atm no ...
[13:59] <hischild> Blice, but i'll look around :-)
[13:59] <Blice> :(

[14:00] <alsadk> hischild bazhang  tell me what is missing? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57811/
[14:00] <test3r> idyllic > s'OK I wanted that LoadBar changed too !  :D  BUT I changed XORG.CONF and the lines went away. No More Res Problem! Now I have a slick-as-greased-lard  box to use.
[14:00] <test3r> even if it doesnt have 'the cube', i can still do a lot with this. it's basically a workhorse box anyway.
[14:00] <hischild> alsadk, run ./configure, not autogen
[14:01] <alsadk> hischild bazhang  but autogen on instructions
[14:01] <idyllic> test3r: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under Section "Screen", SubSection "Display" , set Modes "1024x768" as the first entry.. so ur login screen will use 1024x768
[14:01] <hischild> alsadk, what are you trying to compile?
[14:02] <test3r> idyllic > yes thats basically what i did. i just removed the "too large" of setting that was the first setting
[14:02] <Blice> So, how do I get into recovery mode?
[14:02] <idyllic> test3r: glad to hear, sorry for the wrong info also >.<
[14:02] <alsadk> hischild bazhang  gyachi
[14:02] <test3r> =)  *Kodak Moment*  I love u guys.  =D
[14:02] <test3r> hahahahaha I love the SCENE.
[14:03] <test3r> .mg.
[14:03] <bluewraith> While using GG, when I open a window that I usually have maximized, it will open with the right-hand part of the window about 20 pixels or so off the workspace. Anyone know why that is?
[14:03] <oldred> hello
[14:03] <test3r> bluewraith > do you have compizfusion Enabled (up and going?)
[14:03] <oldred> somebody can help me ?
[14:04] <bluewraith> test3r, yes
[14:04] <hischild> alsadk, did you notice that bazhang isn't responding? you can stop adding his name.
[14:04] <test3r> bluewraith > just "pull & shake" the window down, then maximize it. and dont touch its "min,norm,max" controls at that point
[14:04] <test3r> OH
[14:04] <alsadk> hischild did u know gyachi?
[14:04] <test3r> after that then too
[14:05] <hischild> alsadk, no i'll take a look
[14:05] <test3r> goto Save Session if its an app that comes up on startup
[14:05] <alsadk> hischild  its like pidgin but for yahoo i think
[14:06] <hischild> alsadk, go to their sourceforge website and download the .deb. You can install it by double clicking it
[14:06] <bluewraith> test3r, yes, i do that... but it gets a little annoying when half the "X" button is off on the next workspace at times.
[14:06] <Agent_bob> i'd like to change this  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d59ecfe82  and i am unaware of what is causing apt to desire "bash"    i have a personal build of bash installed  and don't want it overwriten.   can anyone shed light on this for me ?
[14:07] <Mythor> where/when does ubuntu detect/load the kernel modules
[14:07] <test3r> blue > OK so it's not an app you just "leave" up, then? its not a program you leave up to come up once you log in (kinda auto- but in HERE- we can do a "manual auto")?
[14:07] <bazhang> hischild figured you had it covered ;]
[14:07] <Agent_bob> Mythor most in the initramfs.img
[14:07] <hischild> bazhang, yeah ... pointed him at their sourceforge site ... they supply .deb's for it ... why compile if you don't know how and you can get a deb
[14:07] <alsadk> hischild  look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57813/
[14:07] <Agent_bob> Mythor but it will read /etc/modules too
[14:07] <danand> !ask | oldred
[14:07] <J_P> hi all
[14:07] <ubotu> oldred: 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. :-)
[14:08] <rhineheart_m> hello! what is needed by ubuntu to send mails?
[14:08] <bazhang> hischild excellent call ;]
[14:08] <bazhang> hi J_P
[14:08] <J_P> people, what package I need instal to have file /etc/hosts.deny and hosts.allow ?
[14:08] <hischild> alsadk, didn't i just point you at their sourceforge site? do you want me to give you a link as well?
[14:08] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: a mailclient?
[14:08] <test3r> blue > if it's Not, than its the size of the window the application is making itSelf I think. you may/maynot be able to change that? I am unsure Hopefully someone is watching with a better answer
[14:08] <bazhang> !info denyhosts
[14:08] <hischild> alsadk, don't bother compiling unless you have a real reason for it. ... and they HAVE a .deb for you
[14:08] <jrib> J_P: you create them with a text editor
[14:08] <ubotu> denyhosts (source: denyhosts): an utility to help sys admins thwart ssh hackers. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6-2.1 (gutsy), package size 61 kB, installed size 416 kB
[14:08] <bluewraith> test3r, its pretty much any app that I use maximized. When I have it max, and close it, the next time I open it it won't be max anymore (but close) and the right side will be slightly over on workspace 2
[14:09] <Agent_bob> J_P are they not there already ?
[14:09] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL: thatnks.. do you use one?
[14:09] <bazhang> denyhosts J_P
[14:09] <test3r> blue > check the CONF of the program itself - see if you can set a smaller res for the window to spawn at?
[14:09] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: i use evolution (instaled by default) and acasionally claws mail
[14:10] <test3r> blue > OOOOhhh so Thats how it Happens? OK. I've had that happen. Best workaround I have is the annoying loop of "re-maximize" the app. sry.
[14:10] <alsadk> hischild  give me a direct link
[14:10] <Squawk> bluewraith, as a really weird suggestion, have a go at moving the application to where you want it, and then save it as a gnome session. Dunno if it will help, but certainly my terminal always appears at startup just where I put it
[14:10] <bazhang> heh
[14:10] <test3r> squak > yes thats what I said first
[14:10] <danand> J_P - you should already have those files as part of a standard installation - try ls /etc/ | grep hosts
[14:10] <oldred> I`ve installed a psyBNc on my 7.10 and at reboot it don`t start... what can I do ?
[14:10] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL: I've been trying to configure postfix but until now.. I still can't send message over the internet
[14:10] <hischild> alsadk, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490
[14:10] <esox> hello, I've troubles with synaptics : http://pastebin.com/me756a83
[14:10] <test3r> squak > but then it comes up at start up every time
[14:10] <Squawk> Ok, thats it, im having squak on highlight
[14:11] <hischild> Squawk, haha you made my day <3
[14:11] <hischild> or shall i just make that squak as well :p
[14:11] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: so you are trying to set up a mail server not just "send mail"...
[14:11] <test3r> just a TAD of traffic in the room.
[14:11] <Squawk> ...
[14:11] <Agent_bob> danand  ls /etc/host*      why two processes and a pipe ?
[14:11] <erUSUL> !postfix | rhineheart_m
[14:11] <ubotu> rhineheart_m: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer
[14:11] <hischild> Squawk, i'm joking :-) i'll use your full name
[14:11] <danand> J_P - my understanding is that you just add the various host/network listings to those files as required.
[14:11] <kingamok> hello, my wireless will disconnect after a couple of minutes especially if i leave my pc idle. any idea to solve my problem?
[14:11] <Blice> I'm in recovery mode right now, it seems the password for my normal account has changed too.
[14:11] <Blice> I changed visudo though, so that's fine.
[14:11] <Squawk> hischild, I know, hence the elipses
[14:11] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: your question should be more clear
[14:11] <Blice> What file is the password for my user account kept in? :(
[14:11] <syssan> Hi! How do i get rid of the hard-drive icons on the desktop?
[14:12] <Squawk> Blice, /etc/shadow, and its encrypted
[14:12] <Blice> Gah
[14:12] <danand> Agent_bob - yeah - thats better :)
[14:12] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL: why? can I ask about postfix problems here?
[14:12] <jrib> esox: does "tickless" mean anything to you?
[14:12] <test3r> blowfish is ur friend
[14:12] <Agent_bob> Blice /etc/shadow
[14:12] <Blice> So what's the command to change my root/user password in terminal?
[14:12] <bluewraith> test3r, yeah... guess i'll just have to live with it. Its not like its a problem... just a couple extra clicks each time i open firefox or xchat
[14:12] <Squawk> Blice, su to root and run passwd, or else sudo passwd
[14:12] <esox> jrib: yes it was an old kernel I tried to compile without success
[14:12] <mad_max02> anyone here knows where I can find help with Vista installation (its not for me, I'm trying to help a friend )
[14:12] <jrib> Blice: passwd.  It is not necessary to set a root password.  Use sudo instead
[14:12] <Agent_bob> Blice you should read up on sudo if you don't know about it.  but to answer your question   sudo passwd
[14:12] <jrib> !sudo > blice (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:12] <Squawk> mad_max02, /join #windows
[14:12] <hischild> !sudo
[14:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[14:13] <JorgenVonPilot> has anyone compiled syslinux before with mingw? I know nothing about programming and it lost me. I tried to figure it out anyway and just got a bunch of errors and crud. Not even sure how to use MingGW, the documentation assumes you know about programming
[14:13] <kingamok> hello
[14:13] <hischild> no .. wrong one ...
[14:13] <hischild> !root | Blice
[14:13] <ubotu> Blice: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[14:13] <test3r> blue > hey i have idea i know what i did to not have it happen . Blue - just un-maximize before you close the app. then next time you bring it up, it is only the ONE click to maximize it instead of the full workaround.
[14:13] <mad_max02> Squawk, thanks dude
[14:13] <jrib> esox: that's causing the trouble, get rid of it
[14:13] <Blice> Okay, I'll use passwd.
[14:13] <kingamok> anyone can help me to solve the mentioned problem?
[14:13] <Blice> Also, you guys should get Irssi as an IRC client ;x
[14:13] <Agent_bob> anyone know about package management ?
[14:13] <esox> jrib: I thought I got rid of it
[14:13] <jrib> !anyone | Agent_bob
[14:13] <Blice> I bet you guys can't use IRC in recovery terminal like this :DDD
[14:14] <hischild> kingamok, "mentioned problem" isn't very describtive ...
[14:14] <ubotu> Agent_bob: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[14:14] <hischild> !gq
[14:14] <ubotu> Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[14:14] <oldred> anyone can help me ?
[14:14] <kingamok> hello, my wireless will disconnect after a couple of minutes especially if i leave my pc idle. any idea to solve my problem?
[14:14] <esox> jrib: what could I do ?
[14:14] <Blice> quit
[14:14] <Blice> ..
[14:14] <bluewraith> test3r, my workaround is just doubleclicking on the titlebar. no need to make the window dance
[14:14] <bazhang> Agent_bob: what is your issue?
[14:14] <test3r> rofl
[14:14] <test3r> Blice failed
[14:14] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: yes you can; i mean « < rhineheart_m> hello! what is needed by ubuntu to send mails? » doesn't get to the point on setting up postfix. a better question would have been: «i'm configuring postfix and it doesn't send any mail »
[14:14] <Agent_bob> jrib do you know about package management ?
[14:14] <danand> !ask | oldred
[14:14] <ubotu> oldred: 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. :-)
[14:14] <jrib> Agent_bob: ask a specific question
[14:14] <Squawk> kingamok, when it drops, if you run ifconfig, does it still show your wireless with an ip address etc?
[14:14] <Agent_bob> jrib then ignore me.  i posted my question.
[14:15] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL: yeah.. you got what I meant..
[14:15] <Agent_bob> i'd like to change this  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d59ecfe82  and i am unaware of what is causing apt to desire "bash"    i have a personal build of bash installed  and don't want it overwriten.   can anyone shed light on this for me ?
[14:15] <andy_> Hi I'm running 7.10, is there a repo where I can get g++4.3 ? Thanks!
[14:15] <esox> jrib: I cant access synaptic and apt returns errors
[14:15] <kingamok> squawk; i havent do ifconfig yet , will do it later and come back again once it drop. ok
[14:15] <jrib> esox: get rid of the tickless kernel and then run dpkg --configure -a again
[14:15] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[14:16] <Squawk> kingamok, if it still shows an ip address and what not then its not an ubuntu issue but rather a wireless issue (ie losing signal or something)
[14:16] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL:I've read already the basic configuration for postfix..but I guess there must be something wrong the way it has been configured
[14:16] <test3r> blue > Yeah I guess that's the price we deal with for having 'the cube' and the most efficient computer workspace known to man
[14:16] <kingamok> ok squawk tq for ur respond
[14:16] <esox> jrib: I dont have it anymore but I have some small files related to it, I just erase them "by hand" ?
[14:16] <jrib> Agent_bob: a package you have installed depends on bash
[14:17] <Agent_bob> jrib no.
[14:17] <Mythor> Agent_bob: and if there are no modules loaded automaticly, is there a way to autodetect them ?
[14:17] <jrib> Agent_bob: ubuntu-minimal depends on bash, do you not have that installed?
[14:18] <erUSUL> rhineheart_m: i'm afraid i can not help you further (other than pinting you to the official help) becouse never set up a mail server myself
[14:18] <Agent_bob> jrib not installed.
[14:18] <kingamok> brb
[14:18] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[14:18] <rhineheart_m> erUSUL: okay.. thanks anyway..
[14:18] <erUSUL> ubotu tell rhineheart_m about postfix | rhineheart_m see priv msg from ubotu
[14:18] <Agent_bob> jrib it's not a dependancy thing.  it's a deb priority "thang"
[14:18] <Sword_> hi
[14:18] <Agent_bob> jrib but i don't know how or where to change it.
[14:19] <jrib> Agent_bob: what do you mean by "deb proirity" thing?
[14:19] <danand> Agent_bob - think you can use aptitude. press ctrl-t to access the menu. from there you should be able to specify required behaviour for given packages ie hold, keep etc
[14:19] <Sword_> i want to know if  it its possible somehow to run Adobe Creative Suite 3 under Linux???
[14:19] <Squawk> rhineheart_m, sorry to jump in in mid conversation, but what exactly are you tyring to do? If you actualy want to set up a mail server you would probably be better getting help from the devs of the given mail server (sendmail, postfix etc) than from #ubuntu, which is more for ubuntu issues
[14:19] <brobostigon> !wine | Sword_
[14:19] <ubotu> Sword_: 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.
[14:19] <jrib> Agent_bob: is your custom bash installed through a package?
[14:19] <Sword_> i know but for CS§?
[14:19] <Sword_> 3
[14:19] <bluewraith> test3r, haha, yeah. i keep trying to switch workspaces when i'm at work. booted dos a few weeks ago and was completly lost as to why my commands weren't working. Had to sit down and actually think about what I was trying to do
[14:20] <bazhang> Sword_: currently no
[14:20] <Sword_> :(
[14:20] <Agent_bob> danand if i only had aptitude....      i'll see about that.
[14:20] <Sword_> and this crossover program?
[14:20] <Sword_> doeas that work?
[14:20] <bazhang> Sword_: you can check their appdb for more info or visit #winehq
[14:20] <rhineheart_m> Squawk: thanks for the notice.. I been there already..but I guess people there are sleeping..nobody responded..
[14:20] <danand> Agent_bob - think you can also use dpkg - see man dpkg --> package flags
[14:21] <Sword_> thx guys
[14:21] <oldred> I`ve installed a psyBNc on my 7.10 and at reboot it don`t start... what can I do ?
[14:21] <bazhang> oldred how did you install it
[14:21] <test3r>  blue > i H8 dos now. i learned WinXP terminal has a lame version of auto-complete though
[14:21] <Squawk> rhineheart_m, yeah you get that a fair bit on irc, just leave the channel open and evntualy someone will turn up. I would certainly say that a full mailserver config is well beyond the limits of this channel
[14:22] <Blice> Okay, so, I tried "passwd blice", changed the password, but when I reboot and go into the Ubuntu log-in screen, it still tells me it's wrong?!
[14:22] <Blice> :(
[14:22] <Squawk> Blice, caps lock?
[14:22] <Blice> Nope
[14:22] <test3r> blice > did you 'SUDO' the commend?
[14:22] <Blice> No need to sudo, I was logged in as root.
[14:22] <Blice> This is recovery mode
[14:22] <rhineheart_m> Blice: what are you trying to do? logging to your box as superadmin?
[14:22] <vlt> Hello. I installed network-manager-openvpn. When I connect to an OpenVPN server my default route is set to the tun device. Why? How to avoid this?
[14:23] <oldred> ./psybnc
[14:23] <test3r> i didnt think recovery even put u in as ROOT root
[14:23] <Blice> No, try just "logging into your box", rhineheart.
[14:23] <Blice> Somehow my password got changed
[14:23] <Squawk> Blice, unless you explicitly changed it, you might have real problems. I would suggest installing chkrootkit as a minimum
[14:23] <Blice> Right now I'm using IRC in recovery mode, still. Thank god for Irssi or I'd be boned right now.
[14:24] <Blice> installing chkrootkit?
[14:24] <Blice> What's that?
[14:24] <cornix> Hm, seems like my new machine doesn't like Ubuntu
[14:24] <test3r> it is
[14:24] <test3r> change
[14:24] <test3r> root
[14:24] <test3r> you learn how to do that with Slack
[14:24] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[14:24] <Squawk> chkrootkit is a bit of softare to check for rootkits and what not on your sytem, basicaly nasties that mgiht ahve got in
[14:24] <cornix> Live version doesn't load completely
[14:24] <bazhang> cornix could you be more precise  please
[14:24] <test3r> oh chK
[14:24] <cornix> Netinstall doesn't recognize my SATA HD
[14:25] <Squawk> Blice, if something other than you changed your user password then you have aproblem
[14:25] <test3r> its the damn K. everytime.  ;p
[14:25] <oldred> as a user, I`ve made make menuconf, make and ./psybnc
[14:25] <oldred> I must do this as a root ?
[14:25] <chemical> Hello there
[14:25] <jevangelo> in ubuntu server, how do i get apache2 to serve java content
[14:25] <Blice> So, I do 'apt-get install chkrootkit'?
[14:25] <cornix> Same DVD I tried to use now worked fine on my last machine
[14:25] <Agent_bob> danand danand would you be refering to "forbid version"  in the aptitude menu ?
[14:26] <alsadk> hischild  i install it but its not appered on applications>internet
[14:26] <Rimfrost> hi, im downloading Hardy Heron from distrowatch but is it stable to run yet or shall i take 7.10?
[14:26] <bazhang> gutsy Rimfrost
[14:26] <andy_> How do I get gcc-4.3? Anyone?
[14:26] <chemical> I have connected my *sound system with my toshiba satellite but the sound output is still form the internal speakers of the laptop not from the sound system
[14:26] <chemical> what should i do?
[14:26] <cornix> Gutsy got problems with SATA?
[14:26] <NetM> *andy_* from synaptic
[14:26] <cornix> No clue what else it could be
[14:26] <vlt> Does it make sense to install chrootkit on a possibly compromised machine?
[14:26] <Blice> ...So I do "apt-get install chkrootkit", right? I need an answer before I exit IRC :x
[14:26] <hischild> alsadk, if it doesn't show up, that means that either you installed the wrong one or the program doesn't use shortcuts and you have to create them
[14:27] <bazhang> does build-essential have that version of gcc andy_? not sure about the version number let me see
[14:27] <Rimfrost> ok
[14:27] <J_P> dennda:  install apt-get tcpd ;-)
[14:27] <bluewraith> chemical, I have the same problem. I havn't been able to find *anything* that can fix it yet. google searched for like, 2 hours.
[14:27] <cornix> Netinstall is recognizing my small IDE HD and even my external drive
[14:27] <Squawk> Blice, atl-f2 gets you a new login
[14:27] <test3r> Blice > that will get you that pak
[14:27] <Squawk> vlt, not really, but its the best hes gonna do
[14:27] <danand> Agent_bob - no, i was looking at the Hold option - Cancels any action on the selected package, and protect from future upgrades
[14:27] <Corty> hi
[14:27] <Blice> Okay
[14:27] <chemical> well someone send me this. watch me
[14:27] <test3r> no its ch K
[14:27] <test3r> K
[14:27] <vlt> Squawk: Shouldn't he rather check the hard drive from a voot disk?
[14:27] <vlt> *boot
[14:27] <Blice> chK?
[14:27] <Blice> Capital K?
[14:27] <andy_> bazhang: it seems that it only goes to 4.2. I didn't know if there was some special repository that might have 4.3
[14:27] <frold> anyone knows an application like AVnotes for windows - so you can put on yellow labels on your desktop?
[14:27] <alsadk> hischild  i downloaded the second one from the list
[14:27] <test3r> if it was just "CHROOT" youd b changing your root
[14:28] <test3r> how to chroot into an install
[14:28] <Agent_bob> danand yes i see.   thank you.
[14:28] <Blice> chkroot, ya
[14:28] <chemical> type:sudo su
[14:28] <hischild> Blice, capitals don't matter. Alternatively search for chkroot
[14:28] <chemical> and then

[14:28] <Lectus> How to install *.deb packages in Ubuntu? I'm trying to install CodeBlocks.
[14:28] <Pici> !deb | Lectus
[14:28] <ubotu> Lectus: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[14:29] <bazhang> Lectus: double clicking usually does it
[14:29] <chemical> but i can't test it in my system cause the laptop is of a friend of mine and he just left
[14:29] <erUSUL> Lectus: double click on them (gedebi will take care of them)
[14:29] <alsadk> hischild   thx

[14:31] <cornix> Has Gutsy got problems with SATA?
[14:31] <cornix> Netinstall is recognizing my small IDE HD and even my external drive
[14:31] <NetM> *cornell* nop
[14:31] <cornix> Live CD is not booting at all
[14:31] <Squawk> cornix, no, all my sata stuff working fine
[14:31] <NetM> I ve installed @ sata
[14:31] <cornix> the load-bar is showing, then it hangs with just a cursor in the top left corner
[14:31] <bazhang> cornix try the alternate cd then
[14:31] <cornix> !alternate
[14:31] <ubotu> The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[14:31] <NetM> *cornix* purple cursor?
[14:32] <cornix> white
[14:32] <NetM> Graphics is ok ?
[14:32] <cornix> The cursor looks normal
[14:32] <ForzaPalermo> hey guys, any way to make a vnc session from windows to linux through ssh tunneling run faster?
[14:32] <cornix> :D
[14:32] <cornix> text cursor
[14:32] <NetM> Ok :)
[14:32] <bluewraith> wow... google works fast. Its already parsed some pages that are less then an hour old.
[14:32] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  use a lighter desktop, reduce the # of colors of the display. lower the res.
[14:33] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  disable wallpaper and any extra effects.
[14:33] <cornix> hmpf, then I really will have to dl
[14:33] <ForzaPalermo> Dr_willis, i am already runningi at the lowest
[14:33] <cornix> Wait
[14:33] <ForzaPalermo> using tightvnc
[14:33] <cornix> Alternate CD is just for install?
[14:33] <cornix> I think I tried that already
[14:33] <bazhang> aye
[14:33] <bluewraith> chemical, i'll test that code out and let you know if it solved it for me. What model satellite is it?
[14:33] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  for a windows vnc server - i tend to use 'ultravnc' it may have more tweaks.
[14:33] <NetM> *cornix* only install
[14:33] <cornix> yeah, blue-ish background and all
[14:34] <cornix> that one didn't recognize my SATA :(
[14:34] <NetM> Gb?
[14:34] <cornix> 750
[14:34] <NetM> Hmmmm
[14:34] <bazhang> sata no worries here cornix
[14:34] <NetM> Dunno :/
[14:34] <Blice> Okay, so, I did chkrootkit. It didn't find anything.
[14:34] <chemical> @bluewraith Toshiba Sattelite Pro A120
[14:34] <Blice> I tried using passwd -u blice
[14:34] <Blice> And then changing the password again,
[14:34] <Blice> For both blice and root.
[14:35] <Blice> Meh. What else can I do here?
[14:35] <ForzaPalermo> Dr_willis, even when running on my home network it runs the same as how it runs here at work
[14:35] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  vnc can be sluggish. I agree
[14:36] <Blice> Anyone? :(
[14:36] <Squawk> Blice, make a new user and try logging in, see if that works?
[14:36] <Blice> What's the command to make a new user?
[14:36] <hischild> adduser
[14:36] <ForzaPalermo> are there any better alternatives
[14:36] <cornix> Meh, I'll try the install cd again
[14:36] <Squawk> Blice, useradd
[14:36] <Blice> Thanks. I'll see how it goes
[14:37] <cornix> but I even ran HD recognition twice and it didn't recognize the install HD
[14:37] <Squawk> hischild, why does he keep quitting. I presume hes on command line, so why not just alt-f#?
[14:37] <cornix> I COULD move all shizzle off my IDE HD though and just put Ubuntu on that one :D
[14:38] <hischild> Squawk, he's in recovery mode ... i'm not sure wether it supports multiple terminals ...
[14:38] <Dr_willis> hischild,  i think it does. :) its just like no-X running, and some services not going.
[14:38] <ForzaPalermo> Dr_willis, any better alternatives than vnc?
[14:38] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  I only use vnc. freenx i hear works great for linux to linux.. but i dont do that.
[14:39] <cornix> Hm, might running Linux and Windows from 2 different physical HDs cause any problems?
[14:39] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  i use the ultravnc server for windows. It  may have some addational speed up tweaks.
[14:39] <bluewraith> chemical, that didn't do anything for me. I still get sound from the laptop speakers
[14:39] <test3r> u can always gain ROOT to a drive from a LiveCD , yes?
[14:39] <cornix> Or will the bootloader work fine with it?
[14:39] <test3r> should he try a command from after booting to That?
[14:39] <Dr_willis> cornix,  thats how i always do it.
[14:39] <cornix> okies, so it should work
[14:39] <hischild> Dr_willis, hmm ... it might ... you know what, i'll just try :p
[14:39] <Dr_willis> cornix,  of course. :)
[14:39] <chemical> I'm googling too so i'keep you informed if anything positive happens
[14:39] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, what do you want, access to the whole desktop or just to the command line. If just command line, ssh?
[14:40] <Dr_willis> hischild,  or teach him to use screen :)
[14:40] <ForzaPalermo> no gui desktop
[14:40] <ForzaPalermo> so i can download movies while im at work and IM
[14:40] <liberion> hey guys whats the difference between multiverse and universe repositories?
[14:40] <hischild> Dr_willis, hmm ... yeah would also be an option ... my second box is bootin in to recovery now ... let's see
[14:40] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, you can do that from command line you know ;) irssi has IM plugins, wget to download files from the interweb ;)
[14:40] <test3r> Squawk > is there command he can run from LiveCD to r-instate root & reset his pass on his main account on the drive?
[14:41] <hischild> Dr_willis, nope ... you can't ... it'll just give you a blank screen
[14:41] <ForzaPalermo> Squawk, i have no clue how to do that lol
[14:41] <Dr_willis> hischild,  never noticed. :)  odd that it disables that.
[14:41] <ForzaPalermo> Squawk,  any tight vnc alternatives that run faster?
[14:41] <Squawk> test3r, I would think so, but not sure....
[14:41] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, no idea im afriad, never used it
[14:41] <XCasp> хмм
[14:41] <ForzaPalermo> :(
[14:41] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  ultravnc, vnc4server, theres proberly a dozen vnc variants out.
[14:41] <test3r> Squawk > ive read that bfore. i dont know what it would b. ima google it on box next to me
[14:42] <Squawk> test3r, I know it should be easy, since I have done it in the past (forgot root password...)
[14:42] <hischild> Dr_willis, neither did i, although i can assume that it does that so it doesn't have to load another program that might do something bad
[14:42] <waylandbill> ForzaPalermo: it's not hard to learn the CLI. Just have to read and comprehend. :)
[14:42] <ForzaPalermo> waylandbill, no time for that lol
[14:42] <Dr_willis> hischild,  any other program? its allready ran the login program on the first console. :) so why not more.
[14:42] <Dr_willis> hischild,  actually waiut.. it auto logins in dont it.. no LOGIN:
[14:43] <ForzaPalermo> while im at it guys, with tightvnc, to x11vnc i cannot get filee transfers going, anthing i can do to fix that.... alternatives... non command line alternatives preferably :)
[14:43] <Dr_willis> hischild,  the extend ive used recovery mode is to fsck some disks. :) thats about it. Other then that i always use livecd's
[14:43] <waylandbill> ForzaPalermo: you should make time to learn at least one new thing a day is my thoughts.
[14:43] <test3r> OK
[14:43] <test3r> is here
[14:43] <test3r> back?
[14:43] <ForzaPalermo> its hard when ur working all day
[14:43] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  ive found x11vnc to be VERY sluggish compared to the other 'vncservers'
[14:43] <hischild> Dr_willis, i can imagine that if something bad does something on let's say the 5th screen ... it can't do that if that screen is disabled ... and yeah it auto logs in
[14:44] <ForzaPalermo> Dr_willis, yeah but its the only thing i can run that i KNOW of that runs my CURRENT display :0
[14:44] <test3r> Squawk > I know u tell him to run 'passwd' but did u tell him to run it like 'passwd HisNormalUserName' ???
[14:44] <ForzaPalermo> not display 1
[14:44] <ForzaPalermo> which is a different session
[14:44] <chemical> @bluewraith check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457453
[14:44] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  i dont share current displays that makes it MUCH more sluggish also. :)
[14:44] <test3r> Squawk  he just set the root=s pass on his box lol
[14:44] <waylandbill> ForzaPalermo: i suppose ... although I count the learning as working as well. :-D
[14:44] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  i keep my torrent/im/whatever in a nice littke session thats using jwm, for me to remote access
[14:44] <simion314> hi, i just read this article and the comments http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/132891.asp  and if you have the time you should read it and post a comment to suport Ubuntu. I do not want to spam just i want to increase ubuntu popularity
[14:44] <Squawk> test3r, ok I knjow how to do it
[14:44] <test3r> =D
[14:45] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  i find it decently quick when doing it that way.
[14:45] <ForzaPalermo> Dr_willis, jwm?
[14:45] <Dr_willis> !info jwm | ForzaPalermo
[14:45] <ubotu> forzapalermo: jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5-1 (gutsy), package size 82 kB, installed size 268 kB
[14:45] <Corty> http://paste.debian.net/50172 <- any ideas?
[14:45] <Squawk> test3r, err, hmm, cant remember
[14:45] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  as i suggested earlier - use a very light window manager.
[14:45] <ForzaPalermo> speed isnt that bad for me, but its just a little choppy, ive heard of people watching movies no problem through ssh
[14:45] <test3r> Squawk > you found re-root from LiveCD process? link , yes?
[14:46] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  one has to wonder how they get sound...
[14:46] <bluewraith> chemical, my problem isn't a lack of speakers... but an overuse. they still work when i try to use headphones. my solution was to just deal with it, since i dont use headphones that often.
[14:46] <Squawk> test3r, its gentoo, but it will work
[14:46] <Squawk> test3r: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Reset_a_Lost_Root_Password
[14:46] <MDCore> hey all. I'm trying to get hold of git-core >= 1.5.3 for gutsy. even dapper has it (via backports)
[14:46] <void^> Dr_willis: pulseaudio is nice for that purpose
[14:46] <test3r> yes they say recovery console then to just use passwd but THAT dood wants to set it to his normal acc not root itself id imagine
[14:46] <chemical> oh sorry
[14:46] <Dr_willis> ForzaPalermo,  You could alwasys run xming, and have the x apps appear locally.
[14:47] <Blice> Okay, so, I tried making a new user.
[14:47] <waylandbill> Corty: those modules compiled against the current running kernel?
[14:47] <Blice> And then I used passwd to change it's password
[14:47] <Squawk> test3r, he said hes locked out of root and normal
[14:47] <Blice> And I can't log in with it, either. Says wrong password.
[14:47] <ForzaPalermo> so runnging jwm runs a different session>?
[14:47] <Blice> So... What the hell :(
[14:47] <ForzaPalermo> u have info on ming
[14:47] <ForzaPalermo> xming
[14:47] <Squawk> Blice, can you tail /var/log/auth.log
[14:47] <Blice> tail it?
[14:47] <Corty> waylandbill, ehm, yes?
[14:48] <Squawk> tail is a command that ouputs hte last 10 lines (and it might be a slight variation on auth.log)
[14:48] <_Oz_> Hello, Ubuntu friends.
[14:48] <test3r> Blice > what on earth. You might want to try to re-root from a LiveCD
[14:48] <Blice> What will I be looking for on that, Squawk?
[14:48] <Corty> waylandbill, 8999329      0 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root src         22 2008-02-28 21:56 linux -> linux-headers-2.6.24.3
[14:48] <Squawk> Blice, no idea, read it and see if something interesting crops up
[14:48] <Blice> I have to exit IRC to do this, since it's only one terminal here in recovery, so give me everything I need to know before I exit :(
[14:48] <Blice> Eh.
[14:49] <Blice> Well alright. If there's nothing interesting, what do I try after that?
[14:49] <lubse> hello
[14:49] <Squawk> Blice, no idea
[14:49] <Blice> This sucks man
[14:49] <bazhang> hi lubse
[14:49] <test3r> instead o tail can he pipe that into a TXT file
[14:49] <test3r> so it creates a type of log he can read
[14:49] <lubse> could someone help me find out what processor I have?
[14:49] <Squawk> Blice, it sounds like you have successfully borked your login stuff
[14:49] <lubse> its not showing up in lspci
[14:50] <wols> lubse: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[14:50] <Squawk> Blice, im hoping auth.log will give us a clue as to where
[14:50] <test3r> lol yeah nice job Blice whatever u did Dont Do That next time
[14:50] <yunhual> is there a "select all" function in gnome-terminal, like notepad ???
[14:50] <Blice> Well, remember Squawk, it was when I was editing the conf files for winbind, samba, and krb that this happened.
[14:50] <Blice> Also pam.d
[14:50] <Squawk> lol
[14:50] <Dr_willis> Blice,  learn to use 'screen ' so yoyu dont have to exit irc
[14:50] <Squawk> Blice, problem is pam.d
[14:50] <kingamok> hello
[14:50] <Blice> Problem is pam.d, eh?
[14:50] <waylandbill> Corty: 2.6.24? you using hardy or backports?
[14:50] <Corty> hi
[14:51] <vlt> Hello. I installed network-manager-openvpn. When I connect to an OpenVPN server using NetworkManager instead of conf files my default route is set to the tun device. Why? How to avoid this?
[14:51] <Squawk> Blice, and I have literaly no experience playing with pam.d, im not brave enough ;)
[14:51] <Dr_willis> Gee ive not had to mess with pam in... well... ever... I know better. :)
[14:51] <Dr_willis> never needed to.
[14:51] <hischild> Blice, weren't you trying to hang your ubuntu box in an AD domain?
[14:51] <Corty> waylandbill, compiled myself
[14:51] <Squawk> Blice, pam = plugable authentication modules, ie, logins
[14:51] <Blice> Yes, hischild
[14:51] <test3r> Dr Willis > o can u throw irc onto terminal (F3) by a 'irssi screen 0.3' command or the such?
[14:51] <hischild> Blice, have you tried to login using the AD details?
[14:51] <Squawk> hischild, hang his box seems appropriate :(
[14:51] <kingamok> Squawk i'm back
[14:51] <yunhual> is there a "select all" function in gnome-terminal, like notepad ???
[14:51] <chemical> bluewraith ,
[14:51] <Corty> waylandbill, but as i read that... would be a better idea to use a hardy package?
[14:52] <chemical> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_make_sound_work_with_Intel_Integrated_Sound_Cards
[14:52] <hischild> Squawk, i apologize ... *removes ubuntu from the line*
[14:52] <MrKeuner> hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid)
[14:52] <Blice> Hrmmm
[14:52] <Dr_willis> test3r,  possibially.  - but i havent had to do that in ages..
[14:52] <lubse> model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7250  @ 2.00GHz
[14:52] <Corty> chemical, using gutsy and 2.6.24, so alsa is built in my kernel.
[14:52] <kingamok> when i do ifconfig i see this wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:17:9A:D0:BD:02
[14:52] <kingamok>           inet addr:192.168.0.10  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
[14:52] <bluewraith> chemical, yes?
[14:52] <Dr_willis> test3r,  id just install screen, or twin. :) and get multi terms that way
[14:52] <test3r> Dr willis > hey how comes it on my Compizfusion box the F terminals r brok after I boot up and log in?
[14:52] <kingamok> what is that means, problem with my router/adaptor or ubuntu itself?
[14:52] <chemical> what about this link :http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_make_sound_work_with_Intel_Integrated_Sound_Cards
[14:53] <wols> lubse: that's nice but why do we care?
[14:53] <waylandbill> Corty: should be okay as long as the kernel and modules were built from the same code and headers.
[14:53] <Blice> Well, alright, so, what I think we should do.... Squawk, can you go on the Ubuntu forums for me? In the network section, I have a thread in there. Can you paste in the text from each file in your pam.d so I can edit mine back to how it was?
[14:53] <Squawk> kingamok, that means your card is still configured. That being the case, not sure what the problem is
[14:53] <Dr_willis> test3r,  most likely its the framebuffer fighting with the X server.
[14:53] <wols> kingamok: why should htere be a problem?
[14:53] <Corty> waylandbill, ok. :)
[14:53] <Dr_willis> test3r,  as a test. disable the framebuffer. I think the framebuffer wiki ubuntu page has info on that.
[14:53] <Squawk> Blice, link, and tell me what files you have
[14:53] <test3r> oooooooo OK so kill that framebufer in the card setup OK kewl
[14:53] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi all, somebody knows how to set a shortcut to open the gimmie menu?
[14:53] <kingamok> my wireless disconnect if idle a few minutes
[14:53] <Dr_willis> test3r,  i disable the framebuffer from the grub menu.lst file
[14:53] <Blice> Arg... I can't link.. I have no browser here.
[14:53] <chemical> My ubuntu system is feisty an i'm thinking of upgrading it
[14:54] <chemical> but...
[14:54] <Dr_willis> test3r,  Not siure what/where you are refering to.
[14:54] <waylandbill> Corty: you may try building both again.
[14:54] <lubse> Now am I running the right ubuntu? I think I installed the i86 ubuntu
[14:54] <Corty> waylandbill, got the vanilla sources, and built my own .deb packages for headers and image
[14:54] <Squawk> kingamok, when the network drops, is it the internet thats inaccessible? can you still ping the router (ie, are you certain the problem is wireless?). When it does drop, try running iwlist wlan0 scan, and see if wifi is still running
[14:54] <chemical> i have 769 Mb RAM does it worthit?
[14:54] <Corty> waylandbill, ok, just startet with that
[14:54] <lubse> but its an x64 cpu
[14:54] <Blice> But, I need uhm... common-auth, common-sesson, sudo, and common-account
[14:54] <Blice> In the pam.d folder
[14:54] <chemical> 786 sorry
[14:54] <Dr_willis> lubse,  you proberly have no real need to use the 64 bit version of ubuntu. Most people dont.
[14:54] <kostkon> chemical, your amount of memory is good enough
[14:54] <Squawk> Blice, oh christ you havnt been hilighting me, no clue how many lines I missed
[14:55] <kingamok> internet inaccessible
[14:55] <Squawk> Blice, you can browse the net with lynx
[14:55] <Corty> waylandbill, what else, if that will not solve it?
[14:55] <test3r> Dr Willis > yes im sure that's it. ty ill try fussing with that all
[14:55] <Le-Chuck_ITA> chemical: I don't think memory requirements of gutsy are that different from those of feisty
[14:55] <bazhang> chemical sure no worries
[14:55] <brobostigon> lubse: i386 will run on x64, but wont support all the x64 features.
[14:55] <Le-Chuck_ITA> moreover hardy seems pretty more efficient than gutsy
[14:55] <Squawk> kingamok, so you can still see the router? that being the case the problem is not your wifi, its your internet connection
[14:55] <Dr_willis> x64 ubuntu - has issues with some areas also..
[14:55] <Squawk> Blice, how do I find the thread?
[14:55] <Corty> waylandbill, i did that yesterday and forgot to deactivate a few conflicting modules, so i could not insert the module. but today it's throwing other errors, as you can see at the pastebin
[14:55] <Blice> Squawk: I need sudo, common-account, common-auth, and common-session from the pam.d folder; My thread is in the "Networking and wireless" section of the Ubuntu forums, it should still be on the first page in there. My username is Blice.
[14:56] <chemical> the main reason of becoming linux user is attractive usability
[14:56] <Squawk> Blice, I found the thread, one sec
[14:56] <Blice> Squawk: Thanks so much, man.
[14:56] <waylandbill> Corty: I saw the errors. The missing symbols suggest code not in the kernel that the headers say there are.
[14:56] <Le-Chuck_ITA> chemical: until ubuntu many people believed it was the countrary :)
[14:56] <komputes> chemical: sure you're not talking about apple?
[14:56] <chemical> so i don't what?
[14:57] <chemical> what??
[14:57] <dundel> if i click my AWN showdesktop applet, conky is getting minimized to. Is there a way to disable this?
[14:57] <Corty> waylandbill, ok
[14:57] <waylandbill> Corty: you may want to see if someone in #linux would know more about it.
[14:57] <chemical> why you say  that?
[14:57] <Corty> waylandbill, ok, thanks :)
[14:57] <komputes> chemical: put the name of who you're talking to before the msg
[14:58] <lubse> how do I enable 'universe' ?
[14:58] <chemical> komputes ,i mean speed not effect and 3d crap
[14:58] <komputes> lubse: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:59] <bazhang> lubse go into synaptic package manager and enable the repository then hit reload
[14:59] <komputes> lubse: uncomment the lines that start with "deb"
[14:59] <kingamok> hello
[14:59] <ir3> hey guys, when trying to update banshee from source I get that I don't meet the mono-zeroconf requirements (when running ./configure), if I had version 13.1 working shouldn't I have this?
[14:59] <kingamok> i'm disconnecting again
[14:59] <komputes> lubse: then sudo apt-get update
[14:59] <cored> hi guys
[15:00] <kingamok> i do iwlist scanning when it drop the result is wlan0     No scan results
[15:00] <Squawk> Blice, all done
[15:00] <cored> i'm running gutsy, i want to know in which repo is maven2
[15:00] <wols> !info maven2
[15:00] <ubotu> Package maven2 does not exist in gutsy
[15:00] <cored> :-(
[15:00] <komputes> chemical: yeah, everyones competin on what you can do, 3d cubes, windows in roladex motion, window echoing into space, it's all BS
[15:00] <chemical> koputes , what's the estimated upgrade time?
[15:00] <cored> the thing is that ubuntu dosen't set the JAVA_HOME var by default
[15:00] <Squawk> kingamok, then your problem is wifi coverage, your wireless signal is dropping for some reason
[15:00] <Blice> Ok Squawk, let me go take a look.
[15:00] <Squawk> kingamok, move the router closer to your computer to check
[15:00] <komputes> chemical: depends what you're upgrading?
[15:01] <MDCore> !info git-core
[15:01] <ubotu> git-core (source: git-core): fast, scalable, distributed revision control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.5.2.5-2build1 (gutsy), package size 3545 kB, installed size 7452 kB
[15:01] <kingamok> i wonder it happen when on ubuntu, and the line ok when on winxp

[15:01] <chemical> koputes ,my feisty of coure
[15:01] <xeenan> I need help with sound issues please
[15:01] <bazhang> chemical about an hour if you have dsl
[15:01] <komputes> chemical: cant tell you. and it's kom not kop

[15:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> chemical: I mean to complete user names :)
[15:02] <komputes> chemical: good luck
[15:03] <ir3> hey guys, when trying to update banshee from source I get that I don't meet the mono-zeroconf requirements [>= 0.7.2] (when running ./configure), where can I find it?
[15:03] <bazhang> hi confox
[15:03] <binod> dfs
[15:03] <lubse> I dont have permissions to save the file :-/
[15:03] <confox> hello bazhang
[15:03] <Le-Chuck_ITA> chemical: before upgrading move /usr/local out of the way if you have something into that
[15:03] <MrObvious> ir3: You can find the package name by doing a apt-cache search libmono | grep dev
[15:03] <bazhang> binod you have an actual support question?
[15:04] <Le-Chuck_ITA> chemical: that's the only problem I know of, and it's a shame nobody agrees that it should be fixed
[15:04] <brobostigon> ir3: packages.ubuntu.com,
[15:04] <xeenan> I have a creative x-fi card but haven't found any drivers for it I also have an onboard card but was wondering if I took the xfi out if there was a command line to rescan hardware
[15:04] <test3r> How do i add highlight to a person in Pidgin ?
[15:04] <chemical> Le-chuck_ITA , you mean bucking it up?
[15:04] <hischild> xeenan, no need for that, as it does that automatically
[15:04] <test3r> ive right clicked list on right. tried in here. Where is that option?
[15:04] <Le-Chuck_ITA> mv /usr/local /usr/local.bak
[15:04] <Le-Chuck_ITA> that'd be fine :)
[15:05] <bluewraith> does anyone know of a website to see if my ISP is blocking my incoming port 80?
[15:05] <lubse> komputes: how do I save the file?
[15:05] <Squawk> Guys, I just tried to run mplayer and I get an erro about "cant open joystick device". Now maybe im missing something, but to me a joystick is a bit of gaming hardware that I explicitly compiled out of my kernel. Does joystick refer to something else in this isntance?
[15:05] <nick__> how do you turn gdm on in ubuntu 8.04?
[15:05] <MrObvious> bluewraith: Run Shields Up! on grc.com
[15:05] <Squawk> bluewraith, I can port scan you if you want
[15:05] <confox> im trying to make my desktop move but is it any good?
[15:05] <lubse> it wont let me, doesnt ask me for root password either
[15:05] <brobostigon> !hardy | nick_
[15:05] <xeenan> so if it has my xfi card in the hardware info does that mean its installed
[15:05] <ubotu> nick_: 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
[15:05] <test3r> yes kill the joyustick heh
[15:05] <chemical> Le-chuck_ITA , destination?and how reusing it after the upgrade
[15:05] <bazhang> nick__: ask in #ubuntu+1
[15:06] <ir3> ok, so I have to install libmono-dev, newby question but what the command line input?
[15:06] <komputes> lubse: file > save
[15:06] <vlt> `touch 1; touch 2;` => ok. `mv 2 1` => Operation not permitted.  Any idea how to solve this?
[15:06] <bluewraith> MrObvious, thanks
[15:06] <lubse> komputes: no permissions
[15:06] <lubse> :-/
[15:06] <komputes> lubse: CTRL - S
[15:06] <MrObvious> bluewraith: YW
[15:06] <brobostigon> ir3: sudo apt-get "packagename"
[15:06] <bluewraith> squawk, maybe later.. :)
[15:06] <komputes> lubse: you did not sudo
[15:06] <Squawk> vlt, nothing wrong with that
[15:06] <lubse> true
[15:06] <brobostigon> ir3: sudo apt-get install packagename
[15:07] <Squawk> vlt, err, whats the =>
[15:07] <komputes> lubse: go back and SUDO gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:07] <test3r> blue > you want to chek ur port 80?
[15:07] <komputes> lubse: sudo in small letters
[15:07] <test3r> run a tracert to google.com:80
[15:07] <test3r> yes? or wont that do it?
[15:07] <Squawk> test3r, nope
[15:07] <lubse> bash: sudu: command not found
[15:07] <Squawk> test3r, they aint gonna block http out
[15:07] <test3r> :(
[15:07] <Squawk> lubse, sudo
[15:07] <vlt> Squawk: I just use "=>" here to show the result of the command.
[15:07] <bazhang> lubse sudo
[15:07] <test3r> yeah beside the fact that 80 is standard
[15:07] <lubse> ooow
[15:07] <lubse> sorry
[15:08] <test3r> and they wound t be an ISP if they couldnt send u port80
[15:08] <Squawk> vlt touch 1; touch 2; mv 2 1 should work fine
[15:08] <xeenan> does anyone know if there is a program that will install software without haveing to type it in all the time
[15:08] <vlt> Squawk: I expected to be allowed to mv if I'm allowd to touch .. hmmmm
[15:08] <Pici> xeenan: Applications>Add/Remove or System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[15:08] <vlt> Squawk: Maybe it's an sshfs problem.
[15:08] <Squawk> vlt, is this done remotely?
[15:09] <kingamok> brb restart
[15:09] <confox> kk
[15:09] <xeenan> thanks
[15:09] <Squawk> vlt, you might not have overwwrite permission
[15:09] <vlt> Squawk: There's a difference between write and overwrite?
[15:09] <vlt> Squawk: Didn't know that. Where is this defined?
[15:10] <bluewraith> MrObvious, the ports are all marked as stealth. i'm behind a wifirouter, i'm assuming thats the problem?
[15:10] <komputes> vlt: overwrite = delete old file and replace it with this file which has the same name
[15:11] <MrObvious> bluewraith: It may not work on Linux but I can't be sure.
[15:11] <ir3> Running: apt-cache search libmono | grep dev
[15:11] <ir3> gives: libmono-dev - libraries for the Mono JIT - Development files
[15:11] <ir3> but running: sudo apt-get libmono-dev
[15:11] <ir3> gives: E: Invalid operation libmono-dev
[15:11] <Squawk> vlt, if its ssh then its in ssh config. Many applications permit you to create a file but not remove one. An overwrite effectivly removes the file
[15:11] <MrObvious> bluewraith: Linux is that much more secure.
[15:11] <Blice> Squawk: Oh man, thank you so much. I replaced my files with yours, and I'm logged in now and things are good.
[15:11] <ir3> Do I have to add another repo?
[15:11] <Pici> ir3: sudo apt-get install packagename
[15:11] <komputes> ir3: install
[15:11] <bluewraith> MrObvious, yeah, i knew it was pretty secure
[15:11] <Squawk> blice, never, ever play with pam
[15:11] <brobostigon> ir3: try, sudo apt-get install packagename
[15:11] <komputes> ir3: don't feel bad I do that aaaaaallll the time
[15:11] <ir3> haha! cheers guys
[15:12] <Blice> Squawk: So, finally I'm back. I do, however, still really need to join this domain, so I'm afraid I'll have to play with pam again :(
[15:12] <Squawk> Blice, pam will have nothing to do with joining the domain
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Can K9copy take a region 2 "Pal" DVD and rip it so I can make an "NTSC" dvd from it?
[15:12] <Blice> Squawk: Each tutorial for joining the domain, even samba's themselves, have a part where you have to edit pam.
[15:12] <ir3> well that didn't fix it, apparently i'll up to date, any other ideas where mono-zeroconf might live?
[15:13] <ir3> i'm*
[15:13] <Blice> Squawk: I think I may know where I messed up. There was a line you edited, and in it, it had "use_first_pass", do you think I'm supposed to put my password there instead of that?
[15:13] <test3r> Blice > you fooled with some thing called the Plugin Auth Module ? isnt that part of core?
[15:13] <NetM> Can u tell me rapidshare premium download managers?
[15:13] <lubse> does ubuntu let me swap the Fn and the Ctrl key?
[15:13] <Squawk> Blice, I have no clue
[15:13] <lubse> I keep pressing Fn, instead of Ctrl :(
[15:13] <Blice> Squawk: Alright.
[15:13] <komputes> lubse: eugh, those keyboards
[15:13] <bazhang> NetM: wrong channel for that
[15:13] <NetM> Ok sorryz
[15:14] <confox> brb

After following all the instructions here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP160_descargar_drivers    I get this error when trying to print a test page in CUPS:  "Unable to open USB port device file: No such file or directory", and the file referenced :/dev/usblp0   is indeed missing.
[15:16] <Tm_T> hi kids
[15:16] <Blice> test3r: I had to edit my pam so I could join this windows domain, so it would use winbind.
[15:16] <test3r> well - id suggest a fresh install. perhaps even of an older distro
[15:16] <test3r> a windows domain?
[15:16] <AJC_Z0> "W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-backports Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>"
[15:16] <lubse> yes, this keybord smells :(
[15:16] <test3r> no thats all in smbconf
[15:16] <test3r> you dont even have to with Ubuntu
[15:16] <lubse> can't I edit the keyboard driver somehow?
[15:17] <test3r> its all in menus
[15:17] <AJC_Z0> So says a popup following a "Check" in Update manager
[15:17] <Blice> No, there's some things you have to edit in parts of pam.d, test3r.
[15:17] <Blice> So, where is the menu to join a windows domain, test3r..?
[15:17] <lubse> there are programs on windows that let you rebind any key on the keyboard
[15:17] <Squawk> Blice, can you show me the webpage you reading from?
[15:17] <Blice> Squawk: Second.
[15:17] <tpp> Hi, I have set up xmodmap to map keycode 116 to a right click (Pointer_Button3), it was working fine but now it no longer works. If I run 'xmodmap -pk' i can still see the mapping in there, but nothing happens when I press the equivalent key! Any ideas?
[15:18] <test3r> i goto system > shared folders. it will fetch SMB for me auto. after install. then i set me a share, then I assig the Workgroup in the same sweep
[15:18] <test3r> thats all a domain is is a workgroup
[15:19] <test3r> is that what youre trying to do? join the 'name' with the windows computers?
[15:19] <vlt> Squawk: `rm 1` is possible, and then also `mv 2 1`.
[15:19] <xeenan> In my hardware info my soundcard is listed but not getting any sound when i click the volume icon i get the error box that says ""No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."" please help
[15:19] <vlt> Squawk: why not `mv 2 1`? Weird.
[15:20] <Squawk> vlt, like I said, overwrite (I know ive seen overwrite permission in ftpd confs before)
[15:20] <erUSUL> !sound | xeenan
[15:20] <ubotu> xeenan: 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
[15:20] <ir3> I'm still running into problems, i'm up-to-date with libmono-dev but the ./configure still complains about mono-zeroconf requirements, any other ideas where it might live?
[15:20] <Blice> Squawk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[15:21] <xeenan> thanks hopefully that works i have an x-fi card that plp say wont work in linux
[15:21] <Squawk> Blice, wth are you trying to do? are you not just trying to get file sharing working accross your network?
[15:22] <test3r> oh noehz ! ActiveDirectory !
[15:22] <test3r> kill it w/ fire   :D
[15:23] <Blice> Squark: Not just file sharing. I need to literally be a part of the domain here.
[15:23] <Blice> Squawk*
[15:23] <test3r> yeah he's got that evil thing turned on
[15:23] <test3r> Blice > I wish you luck
[15:23] <Squawk> Blice, for what purpose?
[15:23] <Squawk> Blice, dont just be a part of it "because". Have a reason
[15:23] <Blice> Squawk: Mainly because I can't access our SQL server in this LAN without being a part of the domain; Among a couple other servers...
[15:23] <ForzaPalermo> does anone know of the best way to transfer files from windows to linux, and back through ssh tunnel, my vnc wont do it?
[15:24] <tomd123> does anyone know of an applet kind of like the weather one for the network? I would like to be able to view my total bandwidth usage with in the past 24 hours. Any suggestinos would be appreciated :P
[15:24] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, use winscp on windows to transfer by ssh
[15:24] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, scp?
[15:24] <ForzaPalermo> hischild, this is a sepearte program>?
[15:24] <brobostigon> tomd123: gkrellm
[15:24] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, that is the name of the program for windows yes
[15:24] <soldats> tomd123: conky
[15:25] <ForzaPalermo> whats the diff between scp and winscp
[15:25] <m1r> hello
[15:25] <Squawk> tomd123, for simply bandwidth, vnstat
[15:25] <test3r> Blice > is there a way u can setup a box that is "always" part of this domain , a port if u will, then just connect in thru that ?
[15:25] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, scp is the protocol,, winscp the progarm
[15:25] <test3r> :)
[15:25] <ForzaPalermo> oh
[15:25] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, scp is the protocol, winscp is a client ath runs on windows that supports it
[15:25] <ForzaPalermo> hischild, how fast is it
[15:25] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, how fast you want it to be (it has a trottle on it)
[15:26] <ForzaPalermo> just decent
[15:26] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, dont know how fast the client is, but scp is as quick as your network
[15:26] <Blice> test3r: You mean, connect to a computer that's part of the domain and go 'through' it? No thanks; They're all windows machines anyways, I have a feeling I'd have even more trouble. But I disgress, there's a lot of various things that I need to be a part of our domain to do.
[15:26] <ForzaPalermo> send music and other files over
[15:26] <test3r> see
[15:26] <YazzY> hi guys, i cannot google so i need to ask here: what is the command to rebuild initrd.img files for given kernel ?
[15:26] <ForzaPalermo> ok, andi can go back and forth from windows to linux and vice versa?
[15:26] <test3r> the one u connect WITH you could turn the active directory OFF
[15:26] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, use winscp, it's fast.  For the other way around (linux -> windows) use samba shares
[15:26] <test3r> then it would interface Normal. Hopefully.
[15:26] <Lilacor> join #nexenta
[15:26] <Lilacor> grrr
[15:26] <ForzaPalermo> hischild, how do i set that up?
[15:27] <ForzaPalermo> i have samba installed
[15:27] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, hischild, or install something like cygwin and use rsync ;)
[15:27] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, create a shared folder on windows, on linux click on network and then windows network. it'll find it there.
[15:27] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, install an ftpd ;). Many ways to do it, my preference would be either ftp or scp
[15:27] <hischild> Squawk, let's keep it easy for a first timer :p
[15:28] <ForzaPalermo> whatever is faster
[15:28] <iblicf> is there a way to re-generate /boot/grub/menu.lst , i just delete by mistake
[15:28] <test3r> ps: im available for Hire ATM

[15:28] <Squawk> hischild, hehe k, but I have rsync backing up my mums windows machine to my linux box every time she double clicks a shortcut on the desktop ;)
[15:28] <ForzaPalermo> cgwin isnt that like putt?

[15:28] <ere4si> iblicf, sudo update-grub
[15:28] <YazzY> i have no X running
[15:28] <test3r> oh, sry. i only said it because of the ingenious solution i just had for Blice
[15:28] <Squawk> ForzaPalermom no its a kinda of linux prot for windows, its a bit complicated until you understand a lot bout linux.
[15:28] <Pici> ForzaPalermo: This is a bit offtopic for this channel, I suggest asking in ##windows
[15:29] <erUSUL> YazzY: mkinitrd ?? mkinitramfs ??
[15:29] <ForzaPalermo> Pici, well it deals with linux :)
[15:29] <hischild> !info update-grub
[15:29] <Squawk> YazzY, one sec i rad that recetly
[15:29] <ubotu> Package update-grub does not exist in gutsy
[15:29] <YazzY> Squawk: oki
[15:29] <hischild> humorous
[15:29] <brobostigon> YazzY: use lynx, its a cli web browser
[15:29] <Pici> ForzaPalermo: But asking about cygwin is not an Ubuntu question and this isnt a general Linux channel.
[15:29] <xeenan> how do i know what ver. of driver to download I have all the options like '''tar.gz,,,tar.bz2,,,rpm...ect'''
[15:30] <kaernae> how could i get answer why my computer can't load desktop effects?
[15:30] <Squawk> YazzY, mkinitrd (man it to find out how to use it, im in gentoo atm so cant look)
[15:30] <ForzaPalermo> hischild, ok, but if i set up a shared folder on my computer at work, how does samba pick it up?.
[15:30] <iblicf> ere4si, cool ,,thank u , and hischild ^^
[15:30] <PsynoKhi0> kaernae: drivers, or unsupported features
[15:30] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, you mean as in long range file transfer? use ftp
[15:30] <ere4si> iblicf, lots of luck :)
[15:31] <bluewraith> can anyone recomment a good distro for a headless LAMP server?
[15:31] <hischild> bluewraith, ... what you think... ubuntu ofcourse :-)
[15:31] <erUSUL> bluewraith: ubuntu server ??? what else did you expect here XP
[15:31] <YazzY> Squawk: hm, i dont have that binary, i have mkinitramfs
[15:31] <ere4si> bluewraith, ubuntu server
[15:31] <test3r> hahahahah
[15:31] <hischild> ForzaPalermo, i mistook your request as for just at home transfer ... for long range, you can use ftp to transfer it :-)
[15:32] <Squawk> YazzY, seems reasonable that that should do it (it might be a typo on the page im looking at)
[15:32] <bluewraith> haha... thanks guys. figured that would come out
[15:32] <ForzaPalermo> hischild, not scp?
[15:32] <Pici> hischild: Why not scp?
[15:32] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, you can use scp wherever
[15:32] <ForzaPalermo> ok, now i just downlaoded winscp
[15:32] <hischild> Pici, i'm unaware of scp capable servers for windows ...
[15:32] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, i use scp to transfer files to my web host, and lord alone knows where that is
[15:32] <ForzaPalermo> i can run this in accordance iwth putty
[15:32] <ForzaPalermo> or that is sepearte
[15:32] <MrKeuner> hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid)
[15:32] <Pici> !windows

[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Can K9copy take a region 2 "Pal" DVD and make an "NTSC" dvd from it?
[15:33] <Squawk> MrKeuner, could it be a syslog option you need to change, rather than acpid?
[15:34] <dnquark> g'morning y'all.  anyone know how to make synaptics trackpoint play nice with ubuntu?
[15:34] <MrKeuner> Squawk: Do you think so? I don't realy know, but how come? Will I tell syslog to capture sddout messages, too?
[15:34] <xrestassuredx> dnquark: how is it not playing nice now?
[15:34] <paniang> ,
[15:34] <paniang> ,
[15:34] <Pici> paniang: stop
[15:35] <ForzaPalermo> Squawk,
[15:35] <Squawk> MrKeuner, dont tell syslog to capture stdout. I just thought acpid might already be logging, but syslog is not picking it up
[15:35] <ForzaPalermo> putty and wincp can run simultaneousl
[15:35] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo,dont see why not
[15:35] <ForzaPalermo> do i need putty running to have winscp running>
[15:35] <MrKeuner> Squawk: can you see a possible resolution?
[15:35] <Freon> nope
[15:35] <Squawk> ForzaPalermo, never used winscp, but I doubht it
[15:35] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: no
[15:36] <bluewraith> ok, so a little non-computer related, but still somewhat is. anyone know how to keep a 2 year old entertained (aka out of my way) while I set up a new box?
[15:36] <Pici> ForzaPalermo: I'm not sure what this has to do with Ubuntu.
[15:36] <ForzaPalermo> Lilacor, so i need both running
[15:36] <Squawk> MrKeuner, lemme check my conf, sec
[15:36] <ForzaPalermo> pici, i am tring to work from my windows machine, innto linux
[15:36] <ForzaPalermo> like i am doing right now
[15:36] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: for winscp, you likely need openssh running
[15:36] <ForzaPalermo> so i want to transfer files between the two
[15:36] <MrKeuner> Squawk: thank you
[15:37] <ForzaPalermo> Lilacor, right, but do i need putty
[15:37] <bazhang> bluewraith: tuxpaint ;]
[15:37] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: I mean the daemon
[15:37] <spmccann> bluewraith, ubuntu is easy, kids are a bigger challnage :)
[15:37] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: PuTTY is only a client
[15:37] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: so no.
[15:37] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: PuTTY has no daemon capabilities
[15:38] <Lilacor> ForzaPalermo: your sshd will handle the scp connections
[15:38] <bluewraith> I was thinking more along the lines of apt-get ducttape, but i dont think his mom would like that too well when shes gets back from work. :)

[15:39] <wizard__> hi, anyone get java working?
[15:39] <hollystyles> Maimster : it's the afternoon for some.
[15:40] <hollystyles> Fine though, thanx for asking.
[15:40] <Maimster> hollystyles: Oh yeah, you got me there.
[15:40] <Maimster> hollystyles: Why can't we all just be on the same page eh?
[15:40] <Squawk> MrKeuner, I have very little in my config and it automaticaly logs to /var/log/acpid. In it we have "OPTIONS="-s /var/run/acpid.socket", and MODULES="all""
[15:40] <hollystyles> Then the world would be flat
[15:40] <wizard__> lol
[15:40] <Maimster> hollystyles: lol
[15:41] <PsynoKhi0> got a compy here that won't connect to the internet, though the connection works (using it right now on another comp with the same NIC), the chipset is a RTL 8139, set as 10baseT-HD as it should
[15:41] <MrKeuner> Squawk: yes, my conf was formerly like that, too now "OPTIONS="-d -s /var/run/acpid.socket"
[15:41] <Lilacor> wizard__: under x64? my java is still busted
[15:41] <MrKeuner> Squawk: I also tried adding VERBOSE="yes"
[15:41] <Squawk> MrKeuner, hmm. Try restarting acpid and then restarting acpid?
[15:42] <Squawk> MrKeuner, and then restarting syslog sorry
[15:42] <wizard__> do the have java for 64 bit yet?
[15:42] <MrKeuner> Squawk: testing...
[15:42] <Squawk> MrKeuner, as for the logging to stdout, no idea really
[15:42] <MrKeuner> Squawk: man acpid says that, this is a feature
[15:42] <Maimster> hollystyles: Are you using 7.10 desktop? Wondering how your browser speed is doing?
[15:42] <wizard__> i stick to 32 bit till they do
[15:42] <Squawk> MrKeuner, is there an option in the man page to log to file?
[15:42] <dda> I noticed that CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor never shows 100% since some time. Even if CPU load is 100%, CPU frequencyis not used fully, like it was before. How to check what happened?
[15:42] <MrKeuner> Squawk: -l, but that does not work either
[15:43] <hollystyles> maimster: its fine, what unit of measure are you proposing?
[15:43] <KEB1> how to convert a .wmv into .flv?
[15:43] <mtl514> Hi, can someone help me out? since an update, Im unable to Burn a DVD-R w/ Ubuntu.
[15:43] <hendrixski> I installed Ubuntu JeOS in a virtual machine but it doesn't power on, it just seems to hang in that initial Ubuntu screen with the little progress bar underneath it,  but it never progresses :-/
[15:43] <Squawk> KEB1: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=convert+wmv+to+flv&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[15:43] <Maimster> hollystyles: I have been testing with two or three machines at www.speedtest.net not that it is law or anything. However the finding are drastic on the same connection between the two machines.
[15:44] <hunteke> question about upstart: the last change I see on the wiki is Dec, 2006.  Has the dev moved on to other things/what's become of the project?
[15:44] <hendrixski> anybody else have this kind of a problem in a virtual machine?
[15:44] <Squawk> mtl514, do you have a sata dvd drive? if so, have you just updated cdrecord to a version ending in _alpha? Doing that on gentoo killed my drive, reverting back to the previous version was the only fix
[15:44] <KEB1> squawk: ok, remember that i can convert it online...
[15:45] <wizard__> kewl i just got java working
[15:45] <mtl514> squak: not to sound like a clown, but how do I do this?
[15:46] <mohamed_> hi guys can anyone tell me how to install themes

[15:46] <Squawk> mtl514, as it happens I have never downgraded a package in ubuntu, so I am not sure. Put it out to the rest of the channel, or "man apt-get"
[15:46] <Pici> ryan_mandelbaum: Try ##linux

[15:47] <ubotu> hunteke: 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
[15:47] <ryan_mandelbaum> what is ##linux

[15:47] <Pici> ryan_mandelbaum: The channel you are in is only for Ubuntu support.
[15:47] <Squawk> mtl514, can you run "cdrecord --version" and see what version you have?
[15:47] <hunteke> lol, thanks Pici.  I suppose I am impatient today.  Thanks for the friendly reminder.
[15:47] <mtl514> how do I do that
[15:48] <wizard__> ok maybe
[15:48] <Squawk> mtl514, open up a command line and type "cdrecord --version"

[15:52] <ubotu> hollystyles: 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
[15:52] <Maimster> hollystyles: Checking...  I think I did it with the built in installer.
[15:52] <lubse> anyone knows how to swap the Fn and the Ctrl key?
[15:52] <Squawk> Pici, your fast at that, you got it on alias?
[15:52] <Daisuke_Ido> odd and probably easily answered question: is there an automatic way to get desktop icons to line up on the right side in gnome rather than the left?
[15:52] <confox> hello im not new to ubuntu but i dont use it alot but how do i get a 3d moving background?
[15:52] <xrestassuredx> downloading the flash package from the adobe site works now

[15:55] <j_humphrey> What the command for listing processes?
[15:55] <Stwange> j_humphrey, ps
[15:55] <brobostigon> jim: i have never used a screensaver, i hate them
[15:55] <Squawk> j_humphrey, ps for just a few, or "ps aux" for the whole lot

[15:57] <steve699> can any one tell me how to get my 7.1 speakers to work with live 24bit soundcard in ubuntu

[15:57] <_Oz_> Daisuke_Ido: I'm just trying to add gnome-control-center as an item on the system menu
[15:57] <Stwange> can anyone give me a hand, I'm trying to resize my /home partition. I've logged into X as root and dismounted /home using gparted, then I told it to resize the /home partition. It moved the /home data left, leaving all the space at the LHS of the block, leaving me with 199GB unallocated right next to my /home partition. However, it didn't merge them and now says there is no space to resize into, and when I try to mount my unallocated 200gig to
[15:57] <Stwange> maybe /spare it says I can only have 4 primary partitions
[15:58] <devil666> anybody help me too
[15:58] <Stwange> sorry, all the space is at the RHS of the block
[15:58] <Maimster> hollystyles: I got stuck on another site installing 4 new plugins.
[15:58] <Squawk> Stwange, create an extended partition, and then creat partitions within it
[15:59] <tigre2> ciao
[15:59] <hollystyles> Maimster: he he
[15:59] <DrHalan> hey. is there a way to install kde4 on ubuntu without breaking the gnome installation?
[15:59] <Stwange> it won't let me Squawk it says I still need to remove a primary partition first, and I can't remove the 200gig of free space because it didn't mount it, everything else I need. I guess I could remove the swap temporarily
[15:59] <Maimster> hollystyles: My max download speed so far has been 9360 B/s
[15:59] <Beererde> hi. how do i do an upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.0?
[16:00] <m1r> DrHalan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

[16:00] <ubotu> DrHalan: KDE 4.0.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[16:00] <Daisuke_Ido> _Oz_: let me take a look, see what i can see
[16:00] <Maimster> hollystyles: This firefox is crawling not surfing the web.
[16:00] <Maimster> lol
[16:00] <Stwange> I thinkI figured it out Squawk, my bad. Thanks
[16:01] <Beererde> hi. how do i do an upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.0?
[16:01] <_Oz_> Daisuke_Ido: I successfully created the menu item in the main menu but I can't move it to system
[16:02] <Stwange> why the hell don't external drives have some kind of shock absorber in the enclosure :(. I get that bubblewrap or something might cause it to overheat, but what about some cheap springs :(
[16:02] <Daisuke_Ido> _Oz_: delete it from the main menu, then go down to system and make sure you're in administration before creating it
[16:02] <Daisuke_Ido> it does work :)
[16:02] <_Oz_> I can't do it at the top system level?
[16:02] <hunteke> Stwange: because then your drives would last longer and you would give the HDD companies less money.  Duh!
[16:03] <Daisuke_Ido> i don't know
[16:03] <Stwange> heh hunteke. I'd have to have some money to give it to them, for now I just get to back sad and consider freezing it
[16:03] <_Oz_> Daisuke_Ido: that worked. Apparently you can't add a new menu or item to the System tab.  It has to be inside of Administration.
[16:03] <_Oz_> Daisuke_Ido: thanks
[16:03] <Daisuke_Ido> yep
[16:03] <Daisuke_Ido> that's how it looks to me, at least
[16:04] <Daisuke_Ido> and you're welcome, glad i could help
[16:04] <kingamok> hi, i have added the line severaliveinterval in some place but i forget the location. any idea where should i go back in?
[16:04] <Stwange> any idea roughly how long it takes to grow a partition by 200gig? Should I finally put some pants on and go and do something while I'm waiting, or will it be done soon
[16:04] <kingamok> severalive (something like that...)
[16:04] <Stwange> ah... it's finished :)
[16:04] <hollystyles> Maimster: I'm downloading at 36 kb/s

[16:20] <MystaMax> hello, My server's time keeps going out of sync, whats the command to sync it w/ ntp servers?
[16:20] <brobostigon> Cew27: fire away??
[16:20] <DRebellion> UbuntuZ, you need to replace sda2 with the relevant device on your machine. eg. sdb, sdc, etc. the number refers to the partition number eg. sda1, sda2, etc.
[16:20] <Cew27> when i boot from cd all i get is a black screen with nothing happening
[16:20] <UbuntuZ> DRebellion:  and how do i know which -s my deivce___?????
[16:20] <UbuntuZ> device*
[16:20] <Lilacor> UbuntuZ: you need to use 'fdisk -l'
[16:21] <Lilacor> UbuntuZ: or even use df -h
[16:22] <claudio75> Lilacor: i have a dell inspiron 531....i'm not able to switch gutsy off....i've tried to change menu.lst with acpi=off....acpi=force......noapic.....nolapic.....but it doesn't work.....
[16:22] <Sinn3rman> at the moment i've got my kernel booting in verbose mode, but it only allows 80 columns of text and messages appear skewed. is there a way to either widen the console or have it boot in framebuffer mode or something, as i've noticed the livecd boot up, and its messages are crisp and well-placed?
[16:22] <tgm4883> I'm trying to put some windows autostart stuff on a custom live CD, Is there someone that can point me in the right direction on where that needs to go?

[16:23] <DRebellion> Sinnerman, use the vga=XXX boot parameter to change the framebuffer resolution. get the number relevant to your resolution of google, search vesa codes.
[16:23] <tgm4883> PriceChild, I should ask my question there if I'm trying to put it on a custom Ubuntu CD?  I got the windows stuff figured out
[16:23] <DRebellion> UbuntuZ, 0_o
[16:23] <Lilacor> claudio75: you mean you can't shut your computer down?
[16:23] <UbuntuZ> btw this is a live cd ...
[16:24] <Lilacor> DRebellion: O_o;;;
[16:24] <Sinn3rman> DRebellion and that will tell the kernel to use a vesa framebuffer mode instead of the text mode?
[16:24] <CorruptTerrorist> does anyone know where i can find drivers for the logitech quickcam sphere?
[16:24] <PriceChild> tgm4883, so you know how to make cds autostart on windows?
[16:24] <DRebellion> Sinn3rman, all i know is it increases the framebuffer size
[16:24] <navaburo> Hello
[16:24] <Lilacor> UbuntuZ: what exactly is your goal here?
[16:24] <PriceChild> tgm4883, just open the iso as an archive and add the stuff on?
[16:24] <navaburo> I it possible to log into gdm from the terminal?
[16:24] <DRebellion> Sinn3rman, which directly affects your virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1)

[16:37] <ubotu> `paul: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc).  See !permissions and !fstab
[16:37] <ubunt1> Dear #Ubuntu... Have I said something wrong - or... Or did this become a tricky question to investigate?
[16:38] <blice> So, I'm still having trouble joining the windows domain, but now I'm getting a different error. When I do "net ads join", it prompts me for my password, and then says "Failed to join domain: Operations error"
[16:38] <sanguisdex> so I am trying to get my mail sent to localhost but whne I use evolution to check it I get an error about a lock file noto being able to be created due to permissions.  what should I do there
[16:38] <`paul> erUSUL: so ill just change it to vfat but how?
[16:39] <erUSUL> `paul: no; you make folders inside the filsystem and give proper permisions to that folders instead the whole filesystem
[16:41] <erUSUL> `paul: for example i have a /media/MEDIA mount point for a ext3 partition and inside thatr i have a movies Music etc folders that are mine. I can do whatever i want inside that folders but only root can create a /media/MEDIA/whatever folder
[16:42] <carl> Hi! Im having a little problem. Yesterday I downloaded and installed ubuntu 7.10. I have downloaded the updates, but heres the problems: the terminal window is completly white, and there is no sound, and i can't move the windows. I have a Intel Pentium 4 processor, intel 850e Max chipset, geforce ti 4600 and 512 MB of RAM. Somebody got a solution for my problems?
[16:43] <wols> carl: do you have X running?
[16:43] <carl> im sorry, im new to ubuntu, what is X ?
[16:43] <wols> the GUI
[16:43] <`paul> erUSUL: i have /media/disk but i cant write into it
[16:43] <carl> i think so
[16:43] <Whatsinaname> Question,  I was wondering if there is a way to put my ubuntu fileserver machine into standby, but if I try to access it from another computer it would wake up?
[16:44] <erUSUL> `paul: not even with sudo?
[16:44] <`paul> erUSUL:  i can with sudo
[16:44] <PriceChild> !x | `paul
[16:44] <ubotu> `paul: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[16:44] <`paul> tried changing its permission but still cant write as a normal user
[16:45] <erUSUL> `paul: just do 'sudo mkdir /media/disk/Music && sudo chown «youruser» /media/disk/Music'
[16:45] <Dritzen> paul:  What kind of disk is it?  is it NTFS? ext3?
[16:45] <DRebellion> Whatsinaname, i think there is an ethernet function supported by some cards called "Wake on LAN". This is where a special packet is sent to the computer when it is off that the card picks up causing it to boot.
[16:45] <erUSUL> `paul: then you will be able to writte an /media/disk/Music
[16:45] <`paul> ext3 wait will try that... although i think i already did that wait be back
[16:46] <Whatsinaname> I can do that to turn it on, but I was looking for something that would wake from standby or would that work the same? thanks DRebellion
[16:46] <Sinnerman> DRebellion that didn't work. it tells me the mode does not exist. and gives me some really weird choices. after choosing one of those, about two screenfuls of text later, it reverts to the 80x25 text mode.
[16:46] <erUSUL> `paul: the only restriction is on who can writte on the top level of the filesystem
[16:46] <SleepingSloth> DRebellion, there is...
[16:46] <Dritzen> paul, what do you have as the line in your /etc/fstab for this disk?
[16:46] <carl> i have X enabled, what to do now?
[16:46] <liberion> hey guys what the difference between multiverse and reistricted repos?
[16:47] <erUSUL> liberion: afaik there is no restricted section on the repos
[16:47] <`paul> ok its working now
[16:47] <`paul> thanks a lot....
[16:47] <liberion> erUSUL, ok thanx
[16:47] <Dritzen> paul:  I use this line in my /etc/fstab for my ext3 external hard drives.  /dev/sdb1 /media/mybook ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0    I did sudo chown -R myuser.myuser /media/mybook
[16:47] <Dritzen> cool
[16:47] <Rico> hi
[16:47] <carl> Hi! Im having a little problem. Yesterday I downloaded and installed ubuntu 7.10.

I have a Intel Pentium 4 processor, intel 850e Max chipset, geforce ti 4600 and 512 MB of RAM. I got X enabled. Somebody got a solution for my problems?
[16:47] <DRebellion> Whatsinaname, well, i don't know much about WoL or the hardware aspects of standby, but i would doubt you could do that. However, i could be wrong.
[16:48] <DRebellion> Sinnerman, =/ what did you put on the kernel line in menu.lst?
[16:48] <Dritzen> DRebellion:  Wake on LAN is the first thing I thought of as well, though I haven't used it much myself
[16:48] <Whatsinaname> Half the fun is trying to figure this stuff out.  If all the answers were easy it would be not fun DRebillion.
[16:48] <`paul> thanks guys
[16:48] <yaro> carl: Did you make many changes to your appearance?
[16:48] <Sinnerman> DRebellion vga=352, which was meant to give me 1280x800.
[16:49] <carl> i figured out, that i have X on, and visual effects on medium
[16:49] <Whatsinaname> I do send a magic packet to wake my box, but now I am just trying to fine tune it so I can just hide it under some dust bunnies :)
[16:49] <yaro> carl: X is always on, otherwise you don't get a GUI, as for your visual effects, do you have the restricted nVidia driver installed?
[16:50] <imnew> hi everyone, I desperately need help to install ubuntu. My problem is this:
[16:50] <imnew> I boot from the install CD, in the menu I choose the first option -start/install ubuntu,  then i see the ubuntu logo. After some time i get a blank screen with 10 lines: Permission denied
[16:50] <carl> The lastest ubuntu could find
[16:50] <Sinnerman> DRebellion i don't know what the ubuntu liveCD uses, but that looks brilliant. my goal is to have no splash, verbose, wide enough to display most kernel messages without odd placement on the screen. i can understand wrapping, but some new lines are starting about 10 characters from the right, and that just looks odd.
[16:50] <Rico> bored
[16:50] <yaro> carl: The one that the repository provides through the restricted driver manager?
[16:50] <carl> Yup.
[16:51] <DRebellion> Sinnerman, perhaps you got a bad number. its pretty hard to dig these codes out of google...
[16:51] <imnew> He guys, I am new to linux and i really need some help
[16:51] <imnew> I boot from the install CD, in the menu I choose the first option -start/install ubuntu,  then i see the ubuntu logo. After some time i get a blank screen with 10 lines: Permission denied
[16:52] <imnew> anyone knows what the problem is ?
[16:52] <yaro> carl: I recommend trying the system without visual effects. My experience with 512 GB of emory on nVideo chipsets with Compiz Fusion tend to act a little strange or not work at all. It *could* be ou're suffering from the freeze bug.
[16:52] <Sinnerman> DRebellion argh. ive got another issue here goes:
[16:52] <carl> Okay, thanks yaro, i'll try that now.
[16:52] <Rico> bye
[16:52] <whitman> 512 GB of emory?! ;-)
[16:52] <Sinnerman> let's forget the verbose boot thing for now, i have another issue. I have a working ubuntu install on this hard disk on my laptop, and would very much like to keep it running this way. However, I've now bought myself a bigger hard disk. how do i migrate everything from the first hard disk to the second? they are both SATA devices. I want to add a third partition however, for dual booting windows, when i really badly need something in there i can't do
[16:52] <Sinnerman>  in ubuntu/VM/wine.

[16:53] <Squawk|afk> Sinnerman, partition the drive, then you can use dd if= of= to copy the whole of one disk to the other
[16:54] <Dritzen> Squawk|afk:  It's dd if=/dev/originalharddrive of=/dev/newharddrive  right?
[16:54] <Sinnerman> Squawk|afk umm... from where? can i hook that up to a desktop or something? because i've only got the one set of connectors for it in the laptop.
[16:55] <DRebellion> CorruptTerrorist, can you talk to the bot in a private message please so as not to spam the channel, thanks.
[16:55] <Squawk> Dritzen, something like that, but have a good read of hte man page, and probably test first

[16:56] <Squawk> Sinnerman, well you could just do cp -R,
[16:56] <Sinnerman> Squawk i had the impression blindly copying raw data off a partition of one size onto a partition of another size wasn't a very good idea...
[16:56] <Squawk> Sinnerman, I read it as you wanted an exact copy, just re-read it
[16:56] <yaro> Sword_: I wouldn't recommend doing any sort of virtualization with anything less than a few GiB of space left.
[16:56] <Sinnerman> Squawk and that would copy everything including links and hardlinks, with my special devices in /dev?

[16:57] <Sword_> yaro: can i make a new partition?? or does it always use the ubuntu partition
[16:57] <Sinnerman> Squawk sorry, my mistake. I want the same _functionality_ on the second hard disk, with all my data in place, without having to go through the hassle or reinstalling and hunting for the packages i wanted installed.
[16:57] <Squawk> Sinnerman, I was under the impression from your post that you basicaly wanted to copy the first hard disk to the second, that's not what you want?
[16:57] <Squawk> Sinnerman, ok
[16:57] <Sinnerman> Squawk eh :) just as i clarified, no.
[16:57] <yaro> Sword_: Sure, you can make a new partition, I recommend Gparted, but that won't increase available disk space any.
[16:57] <CorruptTerrorist> i'm having a problem when i try to suspend/hibernate... my computer just shuts down and if i turn it back on, it boots from scratch
[16:58] <Squawk> Sinnerman,that being the case.... I dunno ;(
[16:58] <Dritzen> imnew:  I'm not sure why it is doing that.  You could consider trying the new Ubuntu alpha version that is out, it's got a new installer and the final version is coming in April
[16:58] <mroc> quick sftp or scp question - i'd like to transfer files from my computer to computer2, which connects to the internet through computer1.  all the info i've read for sftp/scp describes how to go from one computer to a second computer.  how do i send files from my computer to computer2 in this case?
[16:58] <imnew> Dritzen, thanks, where do i find it ?
[16:58] <hawke_> Anyone else finding that Brainstorm isn't allowing the editing of ideas?
[16:58] <Sword_> yaro: i chose "dynamic size" does it even matter how big ich make it
[16:58] <Sinnerman> Squawk i guess i could partimage, then i'd have to have both hard disks out of the laptop, booted into a livecd... hmm. i think that's my best option. i had problems connecting drives via USB.
[16:58] <Squawk> Sinnerman, its probably possible to get a list of all applications that you have installed/working using apt. and put them all in a file somewhere. Then, once you have the new install, write a short shell script to run though the list
[16:59] <hischild> imnew, i've already given you some options on what you can do to be more helpfull on the #ubuntu-nl channel. Please follow those first
[16:59] <Sinnerman> Squawk yes, someone once told me how to do that with dpkg.
[16:59] <thannoy> imnew: strange. You could also try installing ubuntu from the "alternate" cd instead of the"desktop" cd. It is the same except that the alternat is dedicated ton install (and.. in text mode)
[16:59] <yaro> mroc: That's easy. scp /path/to/file user@host:/path/to/destination
[16:59] <Squawk> Sinnerman, its something ive never done or looked into, so im guessing tbh
[16:59] <Dritzen> thannoy:  I didn't think of that, that would work too
[16:59] <Sinnerman> Squawk and that's probably a good idea too, clean install. but i had some manual tweaks that were tedious and don't want repeating :P.
[16:59] <yaro> Sword_: No, but the thing is it will probably go over a few GiB fairly quickly.
[17:00] <Squawk> Sinnerman, copy the config files accross? thats easy enough
[17:00] <mroc> yaro: but i can't connect directly to user@computer2 since it's not directly exposed to the internet...it sits behind computer1
[17:00] <Squawk> mroc, you need sshd running on one of the computers for scp to work like that
[17:00] <Sinnerman> Squawk i think i'll go the partimage way. but i need to find out if 2.5" SATA drive connector == 3.5" SATA drive connector.
[17:00] <Squawk> Sinnerman, for that I have no clue
[17:00] <Sinnerman> Squawk true.
[17:00] <Sword_> yaro: ok thx
[17:01] <Sinnerman> Squawk eh. what google is for :P i'll be on it. well, thanks anyway.
[17:01] <Squawk> mroc, presumably even though your are using some form of connection sharing, both computers must still have an ip on the same subnet, so you should easily be able to transfer files, unless you have a really funky iptables script
[17:01] <Sinnerman> now, erm, has anyone used partimage here?
[17:01] <Dritzen> Sinnerman:  I saw something recently, where you could make a cd or dvd of all of the packages that you currently have installed
[17:02] <Sinnerman> Dritzen apt-on-cd?
[17:02] <Dritzen> That may have been it
[17:02] <Dritzen> Are you looking for a partitioning program?
[17:02] <jimmygoon> Why does nautlius ask me for a freaking password to login to my windows samba shares to xfer some files, I have NO passwords on that machine what so ever
[17:03] <DRebellion> Not strictly ubuntu, but... is user@googlemail.com the same as user@gmail.com??
[17:03] <Dritzen> DRebellion: yes
[17:03] <Squawk> DRebellion, no
[17:03] <Squawk> ....
[17:03] <mroc> Squawk: i can connect to the router (dd-wrt w/ ssh enabled, not port forwarding) then ssh from the router to the computer i'm interested in.   the router is exposed to the internet.  what i was calling computer 2 is behind it.  i don't know what the syntax would have to be to scp files to that computer though.
[17:03] <DRebellion> =/
[17:03] <Dritzen> You can use both email addresses
[17:03] <Squawk> DRebellion, rly?
[17:03] <ubuntu84> will the wiubi.exe work with viksta x64
[17:03] <Squawk> DRebellion, one quick way to check
[17:03] <Dritzen> DRebellion:  I'm going to go email myself, I just read that they both work last night though
[17:04] <DRebellion> Dritzen, ok
[17:04] <yaro> ubunt84: I can't say for x86_64, but it did run fine for me on x86.
[17:04] <Squawk> DRebellion, Dritzen, i just emailed myself, give it 30 seconds
[17:04] <Sinnerman> Dritzen no, not particularly. i can partition fine. partimage is supposed to make backups of your partition. i was hoping someone would tell me if it could back it up to another partition, of a different size, rather than to an image. a bit like norton ghost. apt-on-cd allows me to make downloaded (cached) .deb files into another mini CD repository. it's not that useful to me now, as i discovered you get pretty much the same functionality if you just
[17:04] <Sinnerman>  copy the files to the cache manually.
[17:04] <Dritzen> It worked
[17:04] <Prefix100> Hey
[17:04] <Squawk> DRebellion, Dritzen, you both can put me on ignore, it seems I was wrong
[17:04] <Dritzen> haha, np
[17:05] <DRebellion> Squawk, Dritzen, excellent :)
[17:05] <noodlesgc> i need help, i need this video downloaded, can anyone help?? http://www.wtov9.com/video/7814675/index.html?taf=steu
[17:05] <Dritzen> I only knew about it because I read an article, suggesting using your @googlemail.com address for anti-spam purposes
[17:05] <ubuntu84> yaro: i will give it a try thanks
[17:05] <Prefix100> Nayone that could suggest a usb wireless device that will work out of the box on ubuntu 64bit
[17:05] <yaro> noodleesgc: I don't think that's within the scope of this channel.

[17:06] <Dritzen> Sinnerman:  Ahh, copying them to the cache is not a bad idea either
[17:06] <Prefix100> ty brobostigon
[17:07] <Sinnerman> Dritzen as for the names of the packages i have installed someone told me to do dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages then to get them back on in the new install sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade.
[17:07] <Grab> hey guys is \ a character or a symbol??
[17:08] <yaro> Grab: Both?
[17:08] <yaro> yaro Grab: It depends on where it is being used.
[17:08] <Dritzen> Yeah, it is both, you can use \ to write extra lines in a really long command
[17:08] <yaro> yaro: Or what Dritzen said. XD
[17:08] <Dritzen> Sinnerman:  There has to be a way to do a 1 to 1 copy onto another partition, though I doubt you'd be able to do it unless both drives were hooked up to the same machine at once
[17:10] <DrX> can someone help me recover Ubuntu following failed update?
[17:10] <Sinnerman> Dritzen yeah, hehe. i'm hoping 2.5 and 3.5 inch drive connectors are the same. they looked the same, but i didn't have them side by side at the time. if that's the case, then it should be a lot easier. i seem to remember an option during ubuntu install (manual, textmode) that asked you if you wanted to copy data from a partition at partioning time, or slightly later.
[17:10] <Sinnerman> Dritzen partimage makes an image :(, so i might have to do with the second option above.
[17:10] <jimmygoon> I went out of my way to move myself out of MSHOME and ubuntu still has me listed there
[17:10] <jmdc> DrX: we're here to help; no need to ask to ask
[17:10] <Dritzen> Sinnerman:  I'm writing that get-selections command in my list of interesting commands

[17:11] <bluewraith> Sinnerman, ah, not sure about sata. i know ide are different
[17:12] <Prefix100> the ubuntu slogan should be 'Ubuntu - You Want To' tbh
[17:12] <Sinnerman> bluewraith i was about to try and check on the net.
[17:12] <xeenan> im trying to install limewire but i got a box stateing ""Only one software management tool is allowed to rub at the same time....Please close the other application e.g. "Update manager,aptitude or synaptic first.. whell i dont know how to do that can someone help me please
[17:12] <Pici> Prefix100: While offtopic, ubuntu is properly pronounced ooboontoo.
[17:12] <bluewraith> Sinnerman, looks like it will work from what i can google up
[17:12] <Dritzen> xeenan:  Are you installing something using synaptic or apt-get in another window or in the background?
[17:13] <kavit> I am using gutsy with all standard packages. I need the kernel module firmware_class but i cant find it in /lib do I have to install a special package for it?
[17:13] <fevel> it means youvare already installibg something

[17:13] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[17:13] <kavit> I see it linux-source in drives/base directory, will I have to compile it by hand?
[17:13] <xeenan> its a package installer that came with limewire I guess but nothing else is runing unless in background that i dont know about
[17:14] <Dritzen> Sinnerman:  Well, good luck, if you do manage to get an exact copy, come back and let me know how you did it :)
[17:14] <Tanguy> hello

[17:14] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi, how do I install glib-2.0? My new 80gig ipod won't work
[17:14] <Sinnerman> Dritzen yup. i'll do that.
[17:14] <hischild> i need a pointer on how to get svideo output working
[17:14] <Tanguy> is it normal that the phpmyadmin package does not symlink it's /etc/phpmyadmin/apache2.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d?
[17:15] <DrX> I did the command line update to go from Ubuntu 6 to 7 and now it says Error 17:  Cannot mount selected partition

[17:16] <DrX> (lin & win)
[17:16] <Dritzen> tanguy:  My version of apache2 and phpmyadmin worked, however the only trace of it in /etc/apache2 is in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf  file (which is a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf )
[17:17] <Sinnerman> i cant wait for my hard disk to get here. already bought it :D.
[17:17] <RootyRootRootW00> Hi, make won't work. How do I determine which packages are missing?
[17:17] <Vala> hi people
[17:17] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Can you pastebin your errors?
[17:17] <Prefix100> i have about 15mins before im forced to using my wireless adapter that i cant get to work in 64bit linux Gutsy, so if anyone could link me to one they have working in gutsy _easily_ id appreciate it.
[17:17] <Vala> question about connecting TV with NVIDIA
[17:17] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: yes
[17:17] <Vala> does anyone know about this stuff?
[17:17] <mroc> i think my question may have been lost in the mix....i'm trying to scp files to a computer behind a router (no port forwarding).  i can ssh directly to the router, then ssh from the router to the computer i'm interested in.  how do i transfer files from my computer to the one behind the router (without setting up port forwarding)?
[17:17] <DrX> someone suggested boot into recovery mode and i think there should be a dpkg-reconfigure type command, which CD 6 or 7?  do you agree?
[17:17] <The_PHP_Jedi> Sup y'all. Anyone know why the shutdown button from gnome-panel causes the GUI to hang for 15-30 seconds? mouse moves, but all interaction doesn't work. (except for xorg restart, etc)
[17:17] <xeenan> how do i check to see if a programe is running in the background
[17:18] <Dritzen> Tanguy:  I suppose you could just create the symlink yourself.  cd /etc/apache2/conf.d  ; sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf phpmyadmin.conf
[17:18] <The_PHP_Jedi> gnome-system-monitor @ xeenan
[17:18] <yaro> xeenan: ps -e is my favorite method
[17:18] <Lifeisfunny> I've got a problem with updating my system.    This is the extent of it....     :~$ sudo aptitude update      <enter>  |  <response>      0% [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)] [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)] [Connecting to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)]
[17:18] <The_PHP_Jedi> although you can use CLI like yaro suggested :P
[17:18] <Slart> The_PHP_Jedi: mine does that too.. but not for 15 secs.. more like 3-4 secs
[17:18] <xeenan> were is that located
[17:18] <The_PHP_Jedi> xeenan, run it from terminal
[17:19] <xeenan> oh ok
[17:19] <Slart> The_PHP_Jedi: I always assumed there was supposed to be some kind of fade-thingy that didn't work...
[17:19] <Tanguy> Dritzen: well, that's what i did, of course, but i wonder why ubuntu devs removed that from the original debian package
[17:19] <The_PHP_Jedi> it should be somewhere in add/remove programs too... but I just got a launcher shortcut on my toolbar.
[17:19] <Vala> testing lag
[17:19] <DrX> jmdc, does boot into recovery mode and running dpkg-reconfigure type command sound like the right place to start?
[17:19] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57837/
[17:19] <Dritzen> Tanguy:  I just installed apache2 and phpmyadmin about 2 weeks ago and it made the symlink for me.  I'm not sure what happened with your install but it sounds like it was an easy fix at least :)
[17:20] <The_PHP_Jedi> Slart, there is a fade thing.. which sorta works, but it still hangs too long... I'm just doing shutdown now -h ... any clue as to what is the command issued to open that window? perhaps I can do some debugging.
[17:20] <kavit> I am using gutsy with all standard packages. I need the kernel module firmware_class but i cant find it in /lib do I have to install a special package for it?
[17:20] <Dritzen> Lifeisfunny:  it sounds like you have 192.168.0.1 listed as a source in your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[17:20] <Tanguy> Dritzen: okay, something went wrong, then. actually, it was not my install, and i cannot check it anymore, now. never mind
[17:20] <Tanguy> Dritzen: thank you, anyway
[17:20] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: sudo apt-get install glib-2.0-dev gobject-2.0-dev
[17:20] <Dritzen> Tanguy:  Ah,alright.  no problem
[17:20] <Slart> The_PHP_Jedi: I have no idea what that shutdown thingy is called.. shouldn't it be visible in the system monitor? let me check
[17:20] <Fingel> hey guys, Im running ubuntu on my external harddrive and as a consquence it is always spinning now, do you think this shortens the life of the external HD?
[17:21] <yaro> Fingel: It is possible.
[17:21] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Thanks am doing so now! Want my new ipod to work........
[17:21] <wols> Fingel: it doesn't
[17:21] <Lifeisfunny> Dritzen, thanks, I'll take a look
[17:21] <The_PHP_Jedi> Fingel, well HDDs always are spinning if they're being used, unless they are put to sleep after an extended period (you can control that through power management settings in the OS, but not sure that would work w/ external HDDs)
[17:21] <Tanguy> who is ubotu? it's ircname isn't really explicit... ubuntu channel's bot?

[17:22] <The_PHP_Jedi> correct Tanguy
[17:22] <Dritzen> Yes Tanguy
[17:22] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Error:  E: Couldn't find package glib-2.0-dev
[17:22] <Fingel> I was thinking about it I thought that maybe having it spinning all the time would actually be better than it being turned on and off like when its used from windows, because its easier on the motor
[17:22] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Okay. Hang on a sec, I'll look up the exact packages for you.
[17:22] <Pici> RootyRootRootW00: its libglib2.0-dev
[17:22] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Thanks!
[17:22] <Valas> hi people. can anyone help me with TV-out?
[17:23] <Tanguy> ubotu (and it's maintainer :): why don't you have an explicit ircname?
[17:23] <Squawk> !ask > Valas
[17:23] <Dritzen> Tanguy:  I thought ubotu was a pretty funny name for the Ubuntu bot
[17:23] <Dritzen> bot + ubuntu = ubotu
[17:23] <The_PHP_Jedi> Slart, ya there?
[17:23] <Pici> Tanguy: Check out its host/cloak ubuntu/bot/ubotu
[17:24] <Slart> The_PHP_Jedi: sure.. I tried the system monitor.. didn't see any new processes.. trying some other stuff now
[17:24] <Valas> I have nvidia. i'm using nvidia settings. and can only see black and white.
[17:24] <Tanguy> Dritzen: well, it is! but that is it's nickname, couldn't its ircname be '#ubuntu's bot', for instance?
[17:24] <RootyRootRootW00> Pici: you mean that I spelt the name of the package wrong? I am googling it now to check
[17:24] <xeenan> how do i switch to super user
[17:24] <The_PHP_Jedi> Slart, ok. let me know. I'm still Googling
[17:24] <Pici> RootyRootRootW00: yes, thats the correct name.
[17:24] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Yeah, it is libglib2.0-dev
[17:24] <The_PHP_Jedi> xeenan, sudo command
[17:24] <Tanguy> Pici: right
[17:25] <Squawk> xeenan, use sudo for pretty much everything (if you must su to root, its sudo su -), but its not advised around here
[17:25] <Tanguy> sudo -s !
[17:25] <RootyRootRootW00> Pici / Yaro: I still get the same error
[17:25] <Tanguy> sudo -x !
[17:25] <xeenan> ok
[17:25] <Valas> TV-OUT - what could be the reason for seeing only Black&white in TV?
[17:25] <DrX> How do you fix Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition ?
[17:25] <Tanguy> sudo su, that's using sudo to launch su, what a strange idea...
[17:25] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: You installed it, right?
[17:26] <Slart> Tanguy: sudo -i is the recommended way afaik
[17:26] <Squawk> Tanguy, on a clean install its the only way to get access to root
[17:26] <erUSUL> Squawk: please advice «sudo -i» instead of "sudo su"
[17:26] <jmdc> DrX: Before you do that, what exactly is going on?
[17:26] <Dritzen> Valas:  If the TV is only black and white, I could see that causing an issue.  Haven't used TV out myself
[17:26] <RootyRootRootW00> no, I get the same error as previously. I'm on google right now, but am in the dark
[17:26] <erUSUL> !rootshell > Squawk

[17:26] <Pici> RootyRootRootW00: How did you install libglib2.0-dev?
[17:26] <Tanguy> ubotu: :)
[17:26] <Valas> Dritzen: so no ideas?
[17:26] <lunks> Someone helped me a little ago with my WiFi, and also had problems... are you here? =P
[17:26] <Dritzen> Valas:  I'm going to take a look at something, just a moment
[17:27] <frank232> Valas: does you video card support component video output?
[17:27] <Badpenguin86> Youtube videos are messed up
[17:27] <DrX> jmdc, I had a working Ubuntu 6.06 (with updates) and ran the updater and it completed and restarted and reports "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" when u try to start Linux (Live CD d/n run either, says "The drive appears confused" but WIndows is OK
[17:27] <Badpenguin86> Youtube videos are messed up using gnash. That my problem of a limitation of gnash?
[17:27] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro / Pici: my fault libglib2.0-dev worked, it's now gobject-2.0-dev I'm solving to install
[17:27] <Valas> what is component video output? I have NVIDIA 8400. it's very strong card
[17:27] <yaro> Badpenguin86: GNash is not very good.
[17:27] <Tanguy> good bye, have a nice week-end
[17:28] <Valas> frank232: what is component video output? I have NVIDIA 8400. it's very strong card
[17:28] <yaro> Badpenguin86: I recommend installing flashplugin-nonfree
[17:28] <lunks> When I try to connect to an wifi network, I'm disconnected from wired connection, why?
[17:28] <brobostigon> yarognash is my only choice, i have a mac.and i cant even get close to watching iplayer or youtube.
[17:28] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Try libgobject-2.0-dev
[17:28] <jmdc> DrX: It sounds like your linux partition got messed up, dpkg probably isn't going to help much
[17:28] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Thanks!
[17:28] <fraujansen> hello! i have a problem! I've set a new menu.lst for grub but without the root=UUID="strangenumber" and now I can't boot!!! how can I get the UUID number???
[17:29] <frank232> Valas: component output is an analog HD type of connection (with 3 cables).
[17:29] <ghost> hey. how do i disable some modules from being loaded during the kernel. do i just delete the .ko file or is there another way?
[17:29] <yaro> fraujansen: Boot into a LiveCD and setup GRUB from there.
[17:29] <brobostigon> yaro: gnash is my only choice, i have a mac.and i cant even get close to watching iplayer or youtube.
[17:29] <jmdc> DrX: how exactly is the drive partitioned?
[17:29] <DrX> jmdc:  how about installing from the Ubuntu 7.x CD?
[17:29] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro, no, am trying to find correct spelling on google
[17:29] <Valas> frank232: oh. I have it, but don't have the cable. so i'm using the s-video.
[17:29] <yaro> ghost: Seek the modules from Synaptic and remove them from there.
[17:30] <Squawk> erUSUL, I will do as you say, but for my own info, why is su - considered more insecure than sudo su - ? I cant think of a reason really
[17:30] <Pici> !blacklist | ghost

[17:30] <fraujansen> yaro: i have allready! but it seems to need the uuid...
[17:30] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Might be easier to search Synaptic, first.
[17:30] <jmdc> DrX: that would work, but I would only do that as a last resort. If we can fix the problem you won't lose data
[17:30] <Squawk> erUSUL, sudo -i I mean
[17:30] <Slart> is there a bash command to repeat another command every 2 seconds or so?
[17:30] <yaro> fraujansen: Hang on, I'll go search out a useful HOWTO.
[17:30] <jmdc> DrX - might not lose data
[17:30] <frank232> Valas: ok. I was just thinking maybe the video card thinks it's connected with component
[17:30] <ghost> Pici: thanks that's exactly what i wanted
[17:30] <DrX> jmdc: I'd love to fix the problem, I'd love to save the configuration
[17:30] <jmdc> Slart: cron
[17:30] <Squawk> Slart, script a short loop?
[17:30] <fraujansen> yaro: or do yyou mean a grafical program?
[17:30] <fraujansen> yaro: cool thank u!
[17:30] <DrX> jmdc, what do you suggest?
[17:30] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: of course /facepalm
[17:31] <claudio75> hi to all....i'm italian so ...sorry for my bad english....i have a dell inspiron 531....i'm not able to switch gutsy off....i've tried to change menu.lst with acpi=off....acpi=force......noapic.....nolapic.....but it doesn't work.....
[17:31] <hischild> !it | claudio75
[17:31] <ubotu> claudio75: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[17:31] <Slart> jmdc: nah.. there is something more simple..but thanks anyway
[17:31] <yaro> fraujansen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370904
[17:31] <claudio75> help me please
[17:31] <Slart> Squawk: a quick script
[17:31] <hischild> claudio75, look at what ubotu said ...
[17:31] <Valas> frank232: how can i be sure? BTW, maybe it using NTSC and i need pal?
[17:31] <Slart> Squawk: I just want to run a couple of lines of bash commands every second..
[17:31] <cadefy_> what does /facepalm mean
[17:31] <claudio75> hischild: i'm here cause nobody has been able to solve my problem in ubuntu-it
[17:32] <fraujansen> yaro: cool I look
[17:32] <hawke_> Is there a way to get ubuntu-brainstorm to actually save edits to an idea?
[17:32] <hischild> claudio75, if ubuntu is unable to turn your pc off, then you have turned off acpi in your bios most likely. Also you shouldn't disable acpi then.
[17:32] <waylandbill> Slart: use the sleep command in a loop
[17:32] <frank232> Valas: not sure about that. if you connect Pal to NTSC, I think you get a lot of flickering in the image too
[17:33] <Slart> waylandbill: hmm.. I guess I'll do that.. I seem to recall there was something else though.. very annoying
[17:33] <Squawk> Slart, as someone suggested, either put both commands in a text file (shell script) and run it from cron, or else write a short script to execute every 2 seconds. Slart, wahat are the commands?
[17:33] <Valas> frank232:  no flickering here. so probably it's not it.
[17:33] <DrX> jmdc:  also, note this system has a BIOS setting that affected ability to setup stuff related to drives called "Enhanced Mode Support On" and it's currently SATA+PATA and remember having some trouble with OS install & had to play around with these (SATA, PATA ar eteh other 2 options)
[17:33] <jmdc> DrX: boot the problem machine to the live disk but don't install, just use the tools on the live disk to diagnose the problem
[17:33] <waylandbill> Slart: what's the purpose of every few seconds? trying to poll something?
[17:34] <claudio75> hischild: uh? but i can't turn acpi off from bios......i didn't try but i think i can't.....and anyway do you think that i can disable it without any risk? acpi controls fans too...
[17:34] <DrX> jmdc:  Ubuntu 6 or 7 CD?
[17:34] <yaro> fraujansen: This is a better HOWTO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:34] <jmdc> DrX - the newest one you have should be fine
[17:34] <Slart> Squawk, waylandbill: I simply do a ps -A.. compare it to the process list I got the last time and print the diff between the files..
[17:34] <yaro> fraujansen: It works even if you didn't install Windows.
[17:34] <jmdc> DrX - but on second thought, your bios might be causing this problem
[17:35] <Slart> Squawk, waylandbill: just to see if any new processes pop up..
[17:35] <hischild> claudio75, your fans are controlled by your motherboard. ACPI does not control your fans (at least it does not for me). the reason it can't turn it off is because it is currently most likely disabled so try and enable it.
[17:35] <frank232> Valas: on the back of the card is there only one port for component/composite/s-video ?
[17:35] <Valas> frank232: exactly - one for each.
[17:35] <claudio75> hischild: ah...ok.....let me try
[17:35] <lkthomas2> guys
[17:36] <lkthomas2> I want to mount remote host, but I got this error:  mount: RPC: Program not registered
[17:36] <Squawk> Slart, then your choices are either to script a quick loop with sleep, or else to run it from crontab
[17:36] <Squawk> Slart, personaly I would use a loop with sleep
[17:36] <frank232> Valas: yeah it probably thinks it's in cmponent but I am not sure how to set it for s-video
[17:36] <Sword_> can somebody tell me where under gnome i can change the system sounds??
[17:36] <Slart> Squawk: I just thought I had seen a command to do this in bash
[17:36] <DrX> jmdc:  Ubuntu 7 CD boots to blank screen
[17:37] <Valas> frank232: oh. thanks. so I need to change xorg.conf ?
[17:37] <Squawk> Slart, pretty much impossible, since the command will presumably be executed mid script, meaning that it cant be every 2 seconds. You need something to execute the script every 2 seconds,not something in the script that waits 2 seconds (if you want it on the money every 2 seconds)
[17:37] <Valas> frank232: and tell it to use s-video
[17:37] <jmdc> DrX: sometimes it takes a minute
[17:37] <DrX> jmdc:  Ubuntu 6 CD reports "the drive appears to be confused"
[17:37] <DrX> jmdc:  yeah, the CD just started up again
[17:37] <frank232> Valas: yeah I gues...
[17:38] <Slart> Squawk: my script already works nicely with the sleep command.. but now I feel the need to find that other command..
[17:38] <frold> vlt:  seems like it works as a charm....
[17:38] <jmdc> DrX is it responsive now?
[17:38] <Ace2016> Hi all
[17:38] <Slart> Squawk: ahh.. "watch" is the command I was looking for
[17:38] <Valas> frank232: thanks. i shell look for it in google
[17:39] <Ace2016> is there a repository with the latest firefox 3 svn versions? i heard that here have been significant performance improvements made and i wish to try it
[17:39] <DrX> jmdc,  Houston, we have lift-off
[17:39] <frank232> Valas: it could also be a NTSC to PAL problem
[17:39] <frank232> Valas: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/901994.html
[17:39] <jmdc> DrX: awesome
[17:39] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: I installed any releated packages thru synaptic. When I ./configure it still tells me that it is missing the two above packages
[17:40] <waylandbill> Slart: yes. watch would work, although it's not a bash command per se. You could use the -d switch to show differences in output even.
[17:40] <DrX> jmdc: desktop
[17:40] <Squawk> Slart, ahh ok
[17:40] <jmdc> DrX: try running gparted
[17:40] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: I'm now installed gtk 2.0 as this address: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2004-May/msg00189.html
[17:40] <Squawk> Slart, havnt actualy come accross that, might be useful
[17:40] <jmdc> DrX: it might automagically find the problem
[17:41] <cadefy_> automagically lol
[17:41] <waylandbill> cadefy_: yeah.. old programming term ;-)
[17:41] <cadefy_> :P
[17:41] <claudio75> hischild: so...i'm in BIOS...i have two options: S1=system resumes more quickly from sleep mode........S3=Systemconserves more power when not in use .....S3 is selected now.....so i select S1!?!?!?
[17:42] <bob__> Hi fellas
[17:42] <hischild> claudio75, look for ACPI...
[17:42] <hischild> claudio75, and disable it
[17:42] <hischild> claudio75, if you wish to know what S1 and S3 means, go look it up on google.
[17:43] <abele> salve
[17:43] <claudio75> hischild: there's only one item called ACPI Suspend type.....and i can choose: S! or S3 ?
[17:43] <Impy>  Hi my friend's trying to install ubuntu but his mouse and keyboard don't work in the install. any ideas?
[17:43] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Its still giving you problems?
[17:43] <DrX> jmdc, does "Scanning all devices" take a long time?
[17:43] <RootyRootRootW00> yes, can i send u a pastebein?
[17:43] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Sure
[17:43] <Tikihead> Morning #ubuntu
[17:43] <uno>  :D
[17:43] <hischild> claudio75, S1 and S3 both pertain about sleep and/or suspend mode. Switching those does not make a difference.
[17:44] <hischild> Impy, usb mouse n keyboard?
[17:44] <frank232> Impy: if you boot the live cd, does the keyboard and mouse work?
[17:44] <Impy> niether :o
[17:44] <claudio75> hischild: i have no other options
[17:44] <claudio75> my bios is version 1.0.7   ....it's dell's bios
[17:44] <Impy> nah it doesn't work in livecd mode
[17:44] <jmdc> DrX: I think that is unusual
[17:44] <hischild> Impy, what type of connection does he have?
[17:44] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57841/
[17:44] <me64> yaro: wubi.exe works on vista x64
[17:44] <hischild> claudio75, then i'm out of options
[17:45] <DrX> jmdc: so, what now?
[17:45] <Impy> internet connection?
[17:45] <yaro> me64: Great!
[17:45] <hischild> Impy, i'm talking about keyboard and mouse connection
[17:45] <Impy> ps2?
[17:45] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: And for sure you installed the development libraries?
[17:46] <hischild> Impy, on the live cd or the alternate cd?
[17:46] <jmdc> DrX: I would give it about 2 minutes (you probably already have) and then close it
[17:46] <Impy> livecd
[17:46] <jmdc> DrX: we'll try things the old fashioned way - sudo fdisk -l and see if any partitions come up
[17:46] <hischild> Impy, can he change options during the initial boot screen?
[17:46] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: No, I installed all the ubuntu hits which came up when I searched synaptic for gobject. Apparently I missed it.
[17:46] <fraujansen> yaru: !!! IT works!!! the uuid number is also in the fstab-file stored! I've copied the number in the menu.lst and now it work, thank u
[17:47] <Impy> asking him now one sec =]
[17:47] <yaro> fraujansen: You're welcome. Glad to help.
[17:47] <hischild> !name
[17:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more
[17:47] <Impy> yes he can hischild
[17:47] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Okay, give me a second.
[17:47] <cadefy_> awesome lol
[17:47] <Bluescan> lol
[17:47] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Thanks for the help
[17:47] <DrX> jmdc: it came up:  line 1 says 1MB unalloacted unallocated and line 2 says /dev/sda1 ntfs  232.88GB
[17:48] <jmdc> DrX: there's nothing else?
[17:48] <thannoy> Impy:"ps2?" for moaybe PS2?
[17:48] <thannoy> *maybe
[17:49] <DrX> jmdc: and /dev/sdb line 1 = /dev/sdb1 ext3 227.08GB   line2-/dev/sdb2 extended 5.8GB            line 3= /dev/sdb5 linux-swap  5.8GB
[17:49] <linduxed> is there any way to save a video that s being streamed?
[17:49] <Impy> hmm :o
[17:49] <brobostigon> linuxed: vlc can do that
[17:49] <linduxed> brobostigon: ok
[17:49] <frank232> linduxed: with mplayer on the command line you can do that.
[17:49] <jmdc> DrX - you never mentioned that you multiple hard disks!
[17:50] <frank232> linduxed: I don't know the options by heart though
[17:50] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Okay. sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev first, so you can get that out of the way. (Seems like it removed itself.)
[17:50] <Prefix100> D-Link DWL-G122 Wireless 54G USB Adapter, anyone use it with Gutsy?
[17:50] <linduxed> im trying to wget "http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/iron_man/iron_man-30sec_sb_720p.mov" but all i get is a 88 kb link file
[17:50] <Impy> hischild he can use keyboard at the first boot screen :o
[17:50] <kilrae_> i'm installing ubuntu on a laptop with 2GB RAM, how much swap do i need (for hibernate to work, I need more swap than RAM?)
[17:50] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: As for that second library, I don't think that's int he Gutsy repos, you'll have to hunt them down somewhere on the web, I think.
[17:50] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: am doing so
[17:50] <DrX> jmdc: yeah, earlier
[17:50] <hischild> Impy, does he just want to try it out? or is he going to install it?
[17:50] <yaro> kilrae_: 4 GiB
[17:51] <linduxed> frank232: if you say so ill try it
[17:51] <yaro> kilrae_: That's more than enough for just about any usage.
[17:51] <Impy> he wants to install it :)
[17:51] <Squawk> linduxed, forbidden file
[17:51] <Prefix100> wish i installed 32bit not 64 tbh
[17:51] <frank232> linduxed: kaffeine has a save stream option in gui too
[17:51] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: I found this for second file: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2004-May/msg00189.html
[17:51] <lunks> When I try to connect to an wifi network, I'm disconnected from wired connection, why?
[17:51] <jmdc> DrX: well I guess I missed it
[17:51] <Squawk> kilrae_, the old convention was for 1.5 times RAM, but in modern day computing thats a waste of disk space. Go for a gb
[17:51] <jmdc> DrX: anyhow this is good, the partition table is still there
[17:51] <lunks> I have 1gb ram and only 666 swap, is it small?
[17:51] <lunks> =P
[17:51] <DrX> jmdc: should I disconnect the Windows drive just in case?  or just go on?
[17:51] <waylandbill> swap 2x RAM used to be the norm, but that's pretty much overkill with the large amount of RAM these days
[17:52] <Tikihead> has anyone tried zfs-fuse on hardy alpa 5?
[17:52] <jmdc> DrX: I wouldn't worry
[17:52] <Impy> hischild he wants to install it :)
[17:52] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: And you installed GTK+ 2.0 and its dev files?
[17:52] <Squawk> lunks, you can have both if they are on different subnets, or you can use a network bridge if they are on the same subnet
[17:52] <cofff> g evening
[17:52] <DrX> jmdc: so what now?
[17:52] <hischild> Impy, probably easier then trying to fix his mouse and keyboard is to download the alternate cd and install from there
[17:52] <lunks> Squawk, But if I choose a network on nm-applet, it disconnects me
[17:52] <thannoy> linduxed: try  wget 'http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/iron_man/iron_man-30sec_sb_h720p.mov'
[17:52] <kilrae_> Squawk: hibernate copies the contents of RAM into swap, so I think you need more swap than RAM for it to work
[17:53] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: I've been trying to find it in synaptic. am looking as we talk, hadn'tseen it yet, lots of related packages though
[17:53] <Squawk> lunks, I never use guis for network config, so can't help with that
[17:53] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Okay. Gimme a sec,.
[17:53] <DrX> jmdc: install and see what happens or recovery mode and i think there should be a dpkg-reconfigure type command?
[17:53] <lunks> Squawk, hmm what do you use to setup wifi? =)
[17:53] <Squawk> kilrae_, that assumes RAM is fully in use, but hmm you might have apoint
[17:53] <fabio> hi
[17:53] <kilrae_> it's possible that it could be fully in use sometime
[17:53] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[17:54] <Squawk> lunks, I configure my network by hand (in /etc/network/). Though to be honest I havnt done wifi in ubuntu, only in gentoo. I connect using ethernet now
[17:54] <fabio> is there anyone having troubles with movies ?
[17:54] <reese> is there a way to create a qt widget from with the bash script?
[17:54] <Impy> hischild he said he's tried the alternative cd and gets the exact same problem :(
[17:54] <Squawk> !ask | fabio
[17:54] <ubotu> fabio: 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. :-)
[17:54] <lunks> Squawk, ok, thanks for help =)
[17:54] <fabio> like having the sound working but a blue screen ?
[17:54] <hischild> Impy, alright let me check
[17:54] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Since that second library you're having trouble installing is a dependency for GTK, it should install along with all you need.
[17:55] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: ok, am doing it
[17:55] <linduxed> thannoy: worked, was it the apostrophees?
[17:55] <jmdc> DrX - why not try to mount it in the live cd, if it works pull any data you want to save - then you have it for sure
[17:55] <Squawk> fabio, if someone else is having the problem what use is that. Ask how to solve that problem, provide deatilas of anything you have already tried, the application you are using, information you found in the logs etc
[17:55] <fabio> i know how to solve it
[17:56] <fabio> there is an unaswered question on the forum..
[17:56] <Impy> hischild one second he made a mistake he's not tried the alternative cd yet! i'll get him to try it now sorry
[17:56] <DrX> jmdc: only need configuration, not the data
[17:56] <hischild> Impy, no problem, i've got the tim
[17:56] <hischild> *time
[17:56] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Broken packages: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57846/
[17:57] <DrX> jmdc: there's WINE that took a while to setup
[17:57] <jmdc> DrX - I haven't ever done it myself, but I googled and found dpkg-reconfigure lilo, you might try that
[17:57] <javatexan> my nice programs running as root are still not nice enough to let normal user programs interrupt it.  I have set the nice of the root run programs to the nice 20 and running top I see that the program's PRI is 39 and its NICE is 19, but my normal user programs are still running too far below that to interrupt it?  The normal user programs are multimedia oriented so they skip and sound bad when the root process won't give back the processors.  Any ideas?
[17:57] <fabio>         DefaultColorDepth 16  <-- that is the trouble
[17:57] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: You'll have to seek out a bug report on that.
[17:58] <noodlesgc> how can i download i file from the internet that starts with mms://
[17:58] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: It might not be something you can fix.
[17:58] <DrX> can you (SAFELY) run dpkg-reconfigure lilo on an Ubuntu 6 dual drive dual boot system (win & lin) from an Ubuntu 7 CD?
[17:58] <thannoy> linduxed: no. The file you tried to download was a kind a redirection. It contained the real video filename which I have wget'd
[17:58] <RootyRootRootW00> yaro: Thanks for your effort
[17:58] <yaro> RootyRootRootW00: Sorry I couldn't resolve your problem.
[17:58] <DrX> jmdc: and how do you know it's lilo and not grub?
[17:59] <rugby> hi
[17:59] <yaro> drX: My experiences with LILO have invariably been bad.
[17:59] <yaro> drX: Why not just use GRUB?
[17:59] <jynxedforlife> Im trying to install a new gdm theme i downloaded from Gnome-Look, i go to Admin->Login Window  then click the add but the file i download doesn't appear? wrong format? I tried a few of the top rated themes now and same thing
[17:59] <jmdc> DrX: I don't. You probably want grub
[17:59] <jmdc> DrX: mea culpa
[17:59] <yaro> jynxedforlife: is it a .tar.gz?
[17:59] <solexious> [Q] Hi guys, I want to install ubuntu, but I need to install it automaticaly, is this possible? I can't use a keyboard...
[17:59] <jynxedforlife> yes it is a tar.gz
[17:59] <DrX> yaro: I don't know what I have, is there any ez way to check?
[18:00] <DrX> jmdc: same ?
[18:00] <hischild> Impy, does he have, by any change, the sis chipset? (if he doesn't know that's no problem)
[18:00] <jmdc> DrX huh?
[18:00] <yaro> DrX: Just take a look on Synaptic, by default Ubuntu uses GRUB.
[18:00] <Wutz> Hey guys, can anyone help me getting warsow to work?
[18:00] <yaro> DrX: Let me simplify that.
[18:00] <Impy> he doesn't know :(
[18:01] <lapisdecor> !warsow
[18:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about warsow - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:01] <jynxedforlife> yaro: its a tar.gz do i need another app?
[18:01] <yaro> DrX: Have you every changed from the default at all?
[18:01] <DrX> jmdc: so can I safely run recovery mode dpkg-reconfigure type command using Ubuntu 7 CD even though the installation on the hard drive is Ubuntu 6.06 with updates?
[18:01] <yaro> jynxedforlife: GDM is supposed to take the tar.gz only.
[18:01] <rugby> hi any one know how do i get ubuntu to mount my w800i phone
[18:01] <DrX> yaro: no
[18:01] <Wutz> I cannot find this problem on the net at all, when i open warsow it crashes and the screen zooms in..
[18:01] <yaro> drX: Then you are using GRUB. What are you trying to do?
[18:01] <antiheroe> hola gente
[18:01] <jynxedforlife> tar.gz why would it not be showing up?
[18:02] <jmdc> DrX - I thought you upgraded and are now having problems
[18:02] <DrX> yaro, recover a hosed Ubuntu drive after a failed update
[18:02] <DrX> jmdc: the Ubuntu 7 never booted up
[18:02] <DrX> jmdc: so I don't know what I have, probably 7 but who knows?
[18:02] <dIpEsH> hello,

[18:03] <ghost> Pici: do i have to put blacklist before every module? or should i just put blacklist once and then all the modules after?
[18:03] <antiheroe> somebody speak spanish???
[18:03] <DrX> yaro:  is Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition likely fixed by repairing GRUB?

[18:04] <solexious> [Q] Hi guys, I want to install ubuntu, but I need to install it automaticaly, is this possible? I can't use a keyboard...
[18:04] <The_PHP_Jedi> antiheroe, I do
[18:04] <antiheroe> please anybody ... i have an answer
[18:04] <jmdc> Thanks for the save yaro - its been a long time since I've dealt with grub :-)

[18:04] <antiheroe> hola pici
[18:04] <yaro> jmdc: You're welcome
[18:04] <Pici> ghost: One on each line
[18:04] <Impy> solexious my friend is having exactly the same problem right now
[18:04] <jmdc> DrX: I've gotta run, but I think you're in better hands now anyway :-)
[18:04] <DrX> yaro: even tho grub comes up on the hard drive and still boots Vista?
[18:04] <antiheroe> gracias ubotu
[18:04] <ghost> Pici: thanks. and i just do blacklist ipw3450.ko or do i need to put the whole path?
[18:04] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Greetings. I'm trying to run the Regnum Online launcher, but it doesn't even start downloading the files. Tried chmoding, even running with sudo to see if it was some lib permission or anything like that but I'm still stuck... Here is the complete output of console: http://pastebin.ca/923593
[18:04] <cottima> does anyone have an MSI P35 board?
[18:05] <Pici> ghost: You need to use the module name, not the filename.
[18:05] <yaro> DrX: Yep. Because when you tell GRUB to do the things on that HOWOT, it will repair the menu.lst and get things to work.
[18:05] <antiheroe> The_PHP_Jedi,  thanks but i speak spanish... a few english...
[18:05] <DrX> yaro: and it won't hose Windows?
[18:05] <yaro> DrX: You might have to manually add Vista back onto the menu.lst, but that's easy.
[18:06] <bluefox83> grub should detect vista, mine did
[18:06] <DrX> yaro: ok, here's goes nothing...
[18:06] <antiheroe> ubotu, Pici  gracias a los dos... voy a intentar por ahi
[18:06] <yaro> bluefox83 DrX: Well okay then. As a just in case, remember the menu.lst has a template for a Windows boot entry.

[18:08] <joff> does anyone know of a way to get some functionality out of a SB X-Fi Fatal1ty without the driver (as it doesnt exist yet)?
[18:08] <antiheroe> bluefox83,  not only speak spanish but also underestand som words
[18:09] <bluefox83> joff, without the driver, you're SOL dude, unless you know how to write one yourself...
[18:09] <erUSUL> joff: exist for 64 bits afaik

[18:11] <me64> how do i start compiz-fusion  i have installed the nvidia drivers ok?
[18:11] <yeonhoo> hi
[18:11] <erUSUL> bluefox83: all linux drivers except propietary ones work the same on 32 64 bit x86 as well as ppc alpha arm and the dozens archs linux supports
[18:11] <DrX> yaro: I did all the steps and result is the same:  "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition"

[18:12] <yeonhoo> try
[18:12] <bluefox83> erUSUL, well my wireless card needed a windows driver, not sure if it'll work in 64 bit though
[18:12] <yaro> DrX: Something goofy in your fstab?
[18:12] <erUSUL> bluefox83: :|
[18:12] <joff> erUSUL: the only proprietry one released is 64 bit only
[18:13] <yaro> Anyone else have some ideas on DrX's problem?
[18:13] <bluefox83> right now i'm not even using a kernel that takes advantage of both cores, let alone 64 bit dual core..
[18:13] <erUSUL> bluefox83: ndiswrapper is on the propietary category... you may need the 64 bit windows driver
[18:13] <erUSUL> joff: that's what i said
[18:13] <Tikihead> what's DrX's issue?
[18:13] <erUSUL> joff:  < erUSUL> joff: exist for 64 bits afaik
[18:13] <bluefox83> erUSUL, oy, tracking that down is not gonna be easy..lol
[18:14] <joff> erUSUL: ignore me, i missed that :)
[18:14] <DrX> yaro: 1: root (hd1,0)  2: kernel /bootvmlinuz-2.6.17-12-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro quite splas->  3: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic  4: quiet   5: savedefault   6:  boot
[18:14] <burkmat> Okay, fishy problem here: Gusty Gibbon, 'sudo ifconfig eth1' works just fine, 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' returns "No such file or directory."
[18:14] <erUSUL> joff: :)
[18:14] <bluefox83> not to mention, will my nvidia driver work in 64 bit?
[18:14] <fabio> don't use initrd if you can !
[18:14] <yaro> bluefox84: Yes.
[18:14] <bluefox83> cool
[18:15] <yaro> bluefox84: I am on a 64-bit Ubuntu, it works excellently.
[18:15] <yaro> BRB. I need to take a break
[18:15] <Slart> burkmat: I don't know if it's related but I always use sudo ifup eth1 instead
[18:15] <bluefox83> ok, so i just need to track down my wireless driver, and then pick out the right kernel...
[18:15] <johnquinn85> I'm wondering if anyone could help me with my problem
[18:16] <beautifulsnow> john, which is?
[18:16] <beautifulsnow> !ask
[18:16] <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. :-)
[18:16] <DrX> jmdc: still getting "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" after repairing grub
[18:16] <burkmat> Slart, Tried. It says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1".
[18:16] <faintofhearts> Anyone know a good program for converting .ogg to .mp3?
[18:16] <Slart> burkmat: and your example works on my computer here..
[18:16] <johnquinn85> my CPU fan will not work on my Toshiba Satellite A105
[18:16] <Slart> burkmat: do you have a network interface called eth1?
[18:16] <burkmat> Slart, Yeah, I know... Works just fine for me aswell, but my friend on the phone is having this strange issue.
[18:16] <fabio> ffmpeg
[18:17] <thannoy> faintofhearts: oggdec command to gat a wav and lame to get a mp3 ..
[18:17] <faintofhearts> Alright
[18:17] <fabio> sox can also convert it
[18:17] <burkmat> Slart, Yeah, 100% sure it works, but I just found out the "No file or dir" error was prefixed by "SCIOSS" something, so problem isn't with bash not finding command... I think I'll find abit more googling now. :)
[18:17] <Jadd799> Hello, has anyone any experience with ProMagic Plus?
[18:17] <DrX> jmdc: should I try installing from the CD now?
[18:17] <Slart> burkmat: sounds weird.. hope you get it sorted out
[18:17] <yaro> DrX: If all else fails, I would.
[18:18] <Marfi> whats program accepts input from a capture card? ie, where i can watch cable on my PC

[18:18] <beautifulsnow> I actually have the same problem as johnquinn85, my Dell D820 fav is not operating in Ubuntu, anyone got any tips?
[18:18] <Buyydee> Hello together. My screen resolution goes to 640x480 after each restart of the X system. I'm running the newest nvidia driver (downloaded with envy). My xorg.conf looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57852/
[18:18] <Buyydee> I've already tried removing the unwanted screen modes (as can be seen in the pastebin), but without success. I'd be glad if someone could help me out here, as I've run out of ideas.
[18:18] <yaro> DrX: don't think so. I suggest doing a backup.

[18:20] <minimec> burkmat: can he do sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 up?
[18:20] <DRebellion> solexious, i can't really see how that would work...
[18:20] <danand> harushimo - you shouldn't have a problem with that - just use gparted or qtparted to format the disk for you.
[18:20] <joff> ZaphodBeeblebrox: are you still there?
[18:20] <johnquinn85> I'm running 7.10 on a Toshiba Satellite A105, and I can't get the fan to work, so in return my laptop overheats.
[18:21] <solexious> DRebellion: I want to get it setup so i can ssh or vnc in to it
[18:21] <burkmat> minimec, Nah, but figured it out abit. She's got a Broadcom 43xx card, so the issue is with the drivers, gonna have to use ndiswrapper.
[18:21] <johnquinn85> does anyone have a solution?
[18:21] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> joff: Yes
[18:21] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> joff: I'm here
[18:21] <minimec> burkmat: ok
[18:21] <joff> ZaphodBeeblebrox: what gfx card do you have, and what driver are you using?
[18:21] <DRebellion> solexious, is there no way you can just attatch a keyboard temporarily?

[18:23] <xobius> linduxed, perhaps Cinelerra http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinelerra

[18:23] <noodlesgc> is it possible to increase my network buffer?
[18:23] <Jadd799> Hello. I'm installing Ubuntu for a friend. He already has Windows installed and wanted to dual-boot. I noticed, as soon as I booted up the computer, a program called ProMagic Plus (from www.wasay.com). It's one of those backup/recovery programs for Windows. Promagic Plus even has its own fat partition that's hidden in Windows.
[18:23] <MrKeuner> hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid)
[18:24] <DrX> jmdc: now it's starting to boot!
[18:24] <Jadd799> What I want to know is, will Ubuntu be able to handle ProMagic Plus? Is it safe to install grub? (can I access Windows afterwards?)
[18:24] <joff> ZaphodBeeblebrox: check in your synaptic and see if libc6 is installed
[18:24] <hanasaki> i have 7.10 installed.. there is an /etc/apache and /etc/apache2 dir.... how can i just use apache2 and delete the /etc/apache dir?
[18:24] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> joff: k, hold on please
[18:24] <johnquinn85> !ask
[18:24] <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. :-)
[18:24] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> joff: Yes, it is
[18:25] <bluefox83> Jadd799, probably, if it uses a fat partition, ubuntu wont destroy the partition unless you tell it to

[18:25] <jmdc> DrX: it works now?
[18:25] <beautifulsnow> jron enable all sources?
[18:25] <bluefox83> Buyydee, change your settings with nvidia-settings, and be sure to tell it to write settings to your config file
[18:25] <jron> anyone know why 2.6.24-8-server is missing?
[18:25] <joff> ZaphodBeeblebrox: sorry, i cant help you then, that was the only thing i know of, when i had a similar problem
[18:25] <danand> johnquinn85 - if that command does not return any output, you will need to insert the required kernel modules using modprobe
[18:26] <Buyydee> bluefox83: That's what I've done, nvidia-settings as su of course.
[18:26] <jron> beautifulsnow: yeah, 2.6.24-10 is there.... *-6 is not though
[18:26] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> joff: Ok. Thanks for trying tho :)

[18:27] <beautifulsnow> danand I am having the same problem as johnquinn85 regarding the laptop fan: so i used lsmod | grep dell, got snothing, tried lsmod |grep fan, got a number... waht about it? :p
[18:27] <DrX> btw, isn't this glitch something that should be reported to the dev team?
[18:27] <jron> ah, thank you, jmdc =) assuming you are not a bot as well! =)
[18:27] <beautifulsnow> DrX what glitch
[18:28] <danand> beautifulsnow - do you have a toshiba laptop too?
[18:28] <jmdc> jron: that would be funny, a bot that tells people they're talking to bots
[18:28] <beautifulsnow> danand it's a dell d820, but my fan doesnt work etiher
[18:28] <mewshi> how do i keep a module from being loaded at boot?
[18:28] <erUSUL> !blacklist | mewshi
[18:28] <ubotu> mewshi: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[18:28] <hanasaki> what tool will make an htpasswd encrypted>?
[18:29] <jmdc> DrX: a bug report is always useful
[18:29] <xobius> Buyydee, did  you  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[18:29] <Jadd799> bluefox83: but will I still be able to boot Windows?
[18:29] <DrX> beautifulsnow: when upgrading Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 (online) it errorneously changed root(0,0) in GRUB to root (0,1) (the latter being a second drive with Vista)
[18:29] <beautifulsnow> oh thanks
[18:30] <DrX> jmdc: how?  where?
[18:30] <jmdc> DrX: how did you solve the problem in the end? did you have grub pointing at the windows hard drive?
[18:30] <bluefox83> Jadd799, yeah, unless you tell it to destroy the windows partition...otherwise there's no reason why it shouldn't work
[18:30] <buntTO> hello there! anyone around who knows how to setup a tftpd on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[18:30] <xobius> Buyydee, did  you  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?

[18:31] <ereal1> hey is anyone else have problems with gmail
[18:31] <bluefox83> Jadd799, yup
[18:31] <DrX> jmdc:  changed root(0,1) to root(0,0)
[18:31] <ereal1> ?
[18:31] <buntTO> beautifulsnow: i used that tutorial, but it does not work with ubuntu 7.10 for me
[18:31] <Buyydee> bluefox83: So it seems that the X11 itself is ok, as in the login screen, there is the correct resolution, but when I login, the resolution changes (under system>preferences>resolution there's 1680x1050 as well).

[18:33] <stormzen> ( in gutsy -- sorry )
[18:33] <danand> beautifulsnow - have you tried using the i8k utils. this is written mainly for inspiron laptops, but it can be used for others. the i8kutils package is the user space stuff. you can install this by doing an sudo apt-get install i8kutils. you will also require the i8k kernel module - so sudo modprobe i8k.
[18:33] <xobius> Buyydee, because I saw some thing incorrect "BoardName      "vesa" and Modes      "640x480@60" "1600x1200@60"
[18:33] <dj1> is there a yum repos for ubuntu?
[18:33] <beautifulsnow> buntTO then you should ask for help with the problem you had while installing
[18:33] <Buyydee> bluefox83: I might have missed that, as I ctrl-alt-backspaced to check what I just told you. Would you please repeat that?
[18:33] <Buyydee> xobius: OK, I'll try that.
[18:34] <danand> beautifulsnow - to see info about that package type apt-cache show i8kutils
[18:34] <guillaume> me again.. :(
[18:34] <ereal1> is anyone having problems with gmail.com for me it not letting me in the standerd view?
[18:34] <jmdc> DrX: I'm not sure how useful of a bug report can be filed in this case, because I think that bios setting you mentioned might be involved but we don't really know whats going on
[18:34] <beautifulsnow> thanks danand, will try :)
[18:34] <killown> hinoma, I 'm using screenlets and  when I click on show desktop icon it hide all screenlets can anyone help me?

[18:34] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi, I've seen the ubuntu brainstorm site
[18:34] <Le-Chuck_ITA> looks pretty cool
[18:35] <ereal1> do me a favor login to your account and let me know
[18:35] <Le-Chuck_ITA> in fact I would like to participate. I already am an user of launchpad and signed the ubuntu code of conduct, how do I become a member of QA if possible at all?
[18:35] <beautifulsnow> thanks danand, that package should work, D820 is a latitude :D
[18:35] <bluefox83> Buyydee, make sure you tell nvidia-settings to write to the config file, don't just hit "ok"
[18:35] <jmdc> DrX: but its really cool to think of filing bug reports! It helps ubuntu get better for sure
[18:36] <stormzen> ereal1: What do you mean by "standard view" ?
[18:36] <ereal1> ok wll I guess it look like  1.0 web best I can discribe
[18:36] <ereal1> I could take a screenshot and send it your way
[18:36] <mewshi> now how do i load a module at boot?
[18:36] <beautifulsnow> so danand, I should install, and then make sure the mod runs at boot?
[18:37] <danand> beautifulsnow - i use that package on my dell latitude c400 :) - just let me know if you get stuck. By the way, i8kutils _should_ also mean all your fn+blah buttons work :)
[18:37] <ereal1> when im lognig in it take a long time
[18:37] <stormzen> you are not clicking on link to try to get "standard view" ?
[18:37] <dirtyhand> whats  a quick terminal command to empty a txt/log file?
[18:37] <beautifulsnow> Fn works for me danand, so do volume buttons and such
[18:37] <stormzen> dirtyhand: Empty?  rm ?
[18:37] <ereal1> then hults, and I get a msg my connection speed is slow
[18:37] <dirtyhand> stormzen: no, just empty the contents
[18:38] <DRebellion> dirtyhand, rm -f file.txt && touch file.txt
[18:38] <stormzen> dirtyhand: echo > file
[18:38] <ereal1> and give me a link to view gmail in standard view
[18:38] <buntTO> how can i check that tftp is running ? or better, is accessabel through tftp ?
[18:38] <DRebellion> stormzen, heh, you beat me :P
[18:38] <stormzen> yours was longer. :P
[18:38] <DrX> sources.list shows edgy on the sources line -- doesn't that mean I'm still on 6.06?
[18:38] <stormzen> ereal1: Ok.  No, I logged in just fine.
[18:38] <danand> beautifulsnow - ok, on that laptop do you use acpi or apm?
[18:39] <mewshi> now how do i load a module at boot?
[18:39] <notdarkyet> what directory are the network profiles stored, i want to delete one so it does not automatically log on
[18:39] <notdarkyet> ?
[18:39] <beautifulsnow> danand, acpi, / me thinks
[18:40] <notdarkyet> does anyone know where?
[18:40] <sfears> i have my linux laptop hooked up to a windows laptop via crossover cable.. do i need to mount to access files on it?
[18:40] <danand> beautifulsnow - how old is that laptop?
[18:40] <DrX> can I safely upgrade 6.x to 7.10 without losing my programs & settings?
[18:40] <beautifulsnow> There should be a rule in this channel that says people asking a question (like, starting a thread on the forums) must use " /me asks:  blah blah blah"
[18:40] <mewshi> now how do i load a module at boot?
[18:41] <beautifulsnow> danand it came out 2006 i think
[18:41] <bluefox83> oye, am i gonna have to download another gutsy installer to get my system to run on 64 bit?
[18:41] <MasterShrak> mewshi what module? first check if its blacklisted
[18:41] <MasterShrak> !blacklist | mewshi
[18:41] <ubotu> mewshi: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[18:41] <mewshi> ndiswrapper
[18:41] <mewshi> it is NOT blacklisted
[18:41] <danand> mewshi - you need to put a single line entry for the module you want loaded in /etc/modules
[18:41] <mewshi> It just isn't loading at boot
[18:41] <notdarkyet> does anyone know where that directory is, i have been scanning forums for a while now and am kind of frustrated
[18:41] <MasterShrak> mewshi add an entry in /etc/rc.local
[18:41] <MasterShrak> modprobe ndiswrapper
[18:42] <bluefox83> !dual core
[18:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dual core - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:42] <bluefox83> :(
[18:42] <DrX> how do you upgrade 6.x to 7.10 (safely)?
[18:42] <mewshi> no, it needs to load at BOOT
[18:42] <NemesisD> is there a command line utility that can simply tell me if the user running it is a sudoer or not? i need to parse the output with a program
[18:42] <MasterShrak> bluefox83 problems with dual core?
[18:42] <stormzen> notdarkyet: Your question wasn't clear.
[18:42] <Pici> !upgrade | DrX
[18:42] <ubotu> DrX: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[18:42] <danand> beautifulsnow - that would use acpi then; my poor old dell c400 is about 8 years old - i'm stuck with apm :(
[18:42] <beautifulsnow> Aww :(
[18:42] <bluefox83> MasterShrak, i'm trying to switch to a 64 bit dual core kernel...
[18:43] <MasterShrak> bluefox83 are you running a 32 bit version of ubuntu?
[18:43] <blice> I really, really need help connecting to this windows domain. I have no idea what to do at this point, and no matter where I turn I can't get help. If none of you know anything about joining a windows domain, can any of you direct me to somewhere that I might be able to find help? :(((
[18:43] <beautifulsnow> danand, I got the D820 at dell refurbished, so cheap :-3, so good, so good, so good!
[18:43] <DrX> Pici: how do I know what version I had?
[18:43] <bluefox83> MasterShrak, yep
[18:43] <mewshi> If someone could just explain to me what i need to do
[18:43] <Pici> DrX: lsb_release -a on the terminal should tell you
[18:43] <DrX> Pici: and why can't you go from 6x to 7.1 directly?
[18:43] <beautifulsnow> blice, samba?
[18:43] <zimon> how do i tell aptitude  not ro treat recommendations as dependencies? i added Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; to .aptitude/config, but it's ignored
[18:43] <zimon> *to
[18:43] <Pici> DrX: Because its not designed to do that.
[18:43] <MasterShrak> bluefox83 you wont be able to use a 64 bit kernel with that i dont believe, youll have to reinstall with 64 bit ubuntu
[18:43] <notdarkyet> sorry, i what i mean is when you log on to a wireless network, you enter a password and ubuntu stores that information so i do not have to enter it again, i was wondering what directory that information is stored in so i can prevent my computer from auto logging on to a network i do not want it to
[18:44] <Johnny_utah> I have virtualbox-ose but need USB support so might install virtualbox instead. Will I lose my settings/images etc?
[18:44] <MasterShrak> notdarkyet a shot in the dark-- /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[18:44] <blice> beautifulsnow: Yeah, samba. Samba, winbind, and uhm... krb. The samba channel hasn't helped, they're idle.
[18:44] <bluefox83> MasterShrak, am i going to lose my apps and stuff?
[18:44] <DrX> Pici: how do I know if I have 32-bit or 64-bit version?
[18:44] <mewshi> what exactly do i need to do to make ndiswrapper load at boot?
[18:44] <MasterShrak> bluefox83 yes, i think synaptic can export some things though, so you can get them back, but you should save any valuable information somewhere else
[18:44] <notdarkyet> nope...
[18:44] <bluefox83> this is going to suck, a complete reinstallation of my system :(
[18:44] <Oz_> hi ! I have two laptops and I'd like to make one large screen from both of them is possible with X.org ?
[18:45] <danand> beautifulsnow - might have to look into that... the battery on mine lasts about 10 mins max. not much good for mobile computing. reckon i could buy a new laptop nowadays for the cost of replacing the two batts on my latitude
[18:45] <Balu_> hey folks, knows someone a good backup programm or a script collection? i would backup my home in tar's or something (incremental) and burn it all 3 months on a dvd
[18:45] <mewshi> what exactly do i need to do to make ndiswrapper load at boot?
[18:45] <Pici> DrX: uname -m will either say i?86 or something x86_64
[18:45] <MasterShrak> !cron | Balu_
[18:45] <ubotu> Balu_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[18:45] <CorruptTerrorist> if i turn off compiz fusion window decoration... why do the menu bard disappear?
[18:45] <DrX> Pici: it says i686 (32-bit)
[18:45] <bod_> mewshi, you could add it to startup processes in System-->Preferences-->Sessions
[18:46] <Pici> DrX: there you go then
[18:46] <Buyydee> xobius, bluefox83: Please find my new xorg.conf here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57854/ I used the command by xobius to reconfigure my X11, then re-enabled the nvidia driver (switched to a generic one), restarted the system. Problem is still the same.
[18:46] <MasterShrak> CorruptTerrorist probably because emerald was loaded, and gnome's replacement was not reloaded, im not sure what it is
[18:46] <DrX> Pici: instructions say to make sure you have all updates installed before upgrading... how do I verify this?
[18:46] <Scunizi> Balu_: you might also try partimage
[18:46] <mewshi> no, I need it to load AT BOOT
[18:46] <mewshi> not AT LOGIN
[18:46] <MasterShrak> CorruptTerrorist try hitting alt+f2 and typing: gtk-window-decorator
[18:46] <blice> So, no where to get help on joining a windows domain?
[18:46] <bod_> DrX, sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update
[18:46] <mewshi> i need the module to load with the other modules
[18:47] <bod_> DrX, swithch those around,.,.sorry

[18:47] <CorruptTerrorist> MasterShrak, doest work
[18:47] <blice> MasterShrak, I made a thread there. I made it yesterday. I've just been bumping it, no replies really.
[18:47] <MasterShrak> CorruptTerrorist worth a shot, i dont use gnome so i dont know what the window decorator is called
[18:48] <mewshi> Ok, come ON it's a simple freakin' thing to do.  I JUST need to make it so that ndiswrapper loads at BOOT
[18:48] <Domevlo> the default window decorator is metacity, isn't it?
[18:48] <bod_> MasterShrak, metacity?
[18:48] <steph__> hi. I tried to installed ndsiwrapper for wireless networking, but it is said that linux-ubuntu-modules-XXXXXX-rt is more recent than ndiswrapper-modules. Can someone help me?
[18:48] <bod_> mewshi, i told you!
[18:48] <blice> MasterShrak: I've also read all of the tutorials on doing this. I get an error. I've been trying to find someone to help me since yesterday without luck.
[18:48] <mewshi> bod_ NO THAT WILL NOT WORK
[18:48] <danand> mewshi - putting an entry in /etc/modules will cause the kernel to load that module at boot time. do you instead mean you need that module in your initramfs image?
[18:48] <bod_> mewshi, why?
[18:48] <mewshi> THAT ONLY AFFECTS THE LOG IN TO GNOME
[18:48] <xobius> Buyydee, what is your monitor resolution?
[18:48] <bod_> !shout | mewshi
[18:48] <MasterShrak> blice what error?
[18:48] <MasterShrak> !caps | mewshi
[18:48] <ubotu> mewshi: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[18:48] <adac2> can someone help me with firefox and java? Applets don't work :(
[18:48] <mewshi> bod_ i need it to load AT BOOT, not LOGIN
[18:49] <bod_> mewshi, so adding it to the boot process is hwta you meant,.,.try asking that question
[18:49] <MasterShrak> !upstart | mewshi
[18:49] <ubotu> mewshi: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[18:49] <mewshi> I HAVE been asking how to load it at boot!!

[18:49] <nicolah> using ubuntu whenever I insert a ubuntu disc it ask about the possibility to use that cd rom as a repositories, is there a way to disable this lovely feature ? thanks
[18:49] <blice> MasterShrak: I pasted my configuration files in that thread, and the debug logs.
[18:49] <bluefoxx> so is two screens the max that i can use? cause i want to use two moniters and have my TV out on my nvidia going, so i can put up a movia and do web work and other work on my other two moniters
[18:49] <mewshi> danand: if there is no /etc/modules, do i create it?
[18:50] <mewshi> oh it's a file
[18:50] <bod_> nicolah, you can disable that in the repo menu in Synaptic
[18:50] <frank232> bluefoxx: 3 screens is possible but you have to edit /etc/xorg.conf manually
[18:50] <pushpop-> is there a good program for ubuntu that will rip a wav to a mp3 and remove DRM?
[18:51] <xobius> Buyydee, change the line 94, the resolution is incorrect
[18:51] <MasterShrak> sorry blice, i dont know on that, never joined a windows domain before, im sure if you stick aroudn though, someone will help you with it
[18:51] <bod_> bluefoxx,the compiz guys in #compiz-fusion   are always messing with multi-monitors,. perhaps ask them aswell ;~)
[18:51] <frank232> bluefoxx: /etc/X11/xorg.conf *
[18:51] <bluefoxx> frank232: ah, ok, thanks. do you have an exmaple you can send me to?
[18:51] <danand> mewshi - i've been telling you for the last few mins ... just add the line ndiswrapper to /etc/modules to auto load that module at boot. no need to shout by the way ... :)
[18:51] <nicolah> bod the cdrom isn't flagged
[18:51] <mewshi> i just did, danand.  I was asking if it wasn't there what to do (I thought it was a directory for some reason)

[18:52] <pushpop-> is there a good program for ubuntu that will rip a wav to a mp3 and remove DRM?
[18:52] <Buyydee> xobius: OK, did that. Restarting X11 now, I'll be right back.
[18:52] <bluefoxx> also, i cant seem to get window borders/decorations on any screen other than x screen 0. i run compiz with custom settings, and allready tried compiz --replace and such things[they only crashed me]

[18:55] <Buyydee> xobius: Still the same problem. New xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57855/ Is it enough to hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X11?
[18:55] <bluefox83> bod_, no problem :)
[18:55] <bod_> me64, you could check community docs or ask in   #ubuntu+1 or #compiz-fusion
[18:55] <bod_> ;~)
[18:55] <adac2> MasterShrak: so this is somthing similar to initng?
[18:55] <bluefoxx> bod_: lols. good thing im awake for a change XD normally im asleep right now[awake but not fully] but hitting your head against the table ni frustration cause your nvidia drivers decided to implode after adding a CRT in to the system helps XD
[18:55] <MasterShrak> Buyydee ctrl+alt+backspace restarts x, i dont konw what you are asking
[18:56] <MasterShrak> adac2 not sure what initng is..

[18:57] <blice> MasterShrak: Sucks.
[18:57] <bod_> bluefoxx, i disabled those features,. if im not allowed 'sleep' then neither is my computer,.,.;~)
[18:58] <bluefoxx> well, im off to meet my mother for a bit...gonna get onto the tvout when i get back XD

[18:59] <blice> bod_: No, I meant it sucks that he can't help me. I can't find any help, I have nothing. I need this done today, but I have no idea where to turn. Samba people just idle, Ubuntu people haven't done it before, I don't know.
[18:59] <Pelo> sorry , wrong command

[18:59] <blice> bod_: It's just really fustrating when there's nowhere to go

[19:00] <aghachi> thanx!
[19:00] <bod_> blice, ok, what do you mean by connecting to a domain? samba or winbird channels?
[19:00] <blice> bod_: Like, windows domain controller, active directory. .LOCAL
[19:00] <MasterShrak> blice have you added wins to the host line of nsswitch.conf ?
[19:01] <bod_> blice, oh, not sure,.,.lol,. ive never attempted it,.,. id suggest just ask if anyones alive in the samba channel,.,.sorry
[19:01] <MasterShrak> blice it appears its not finding the server, ive had issues liek that with samba by hostname, and adding wins has helped
[19:01] <nicolah> will xubuntu hardy heron use xfce 4.4.2 ?

[19:02] <pushpop-> is there a good program for ubuntu that will rip a wma to a mp3 and remove DRM?
[19:02] <blice> MasterShrak: just add it to the end of the hosts line? My host line is like this "hosts:     files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[19:03] <blice> Do I just ad "wins" to the end?
[19:03] <bod_> pushpop-, do you know that your question makes no sense?
[19:03] <MasterShrak> Pelo make a bash script that will run that, and run the script from the launcher
[19:03] <MasterShrak> blice yes
[19:03] <pushpop-> bod_: Could anyone recommend a program that will convert a .wma to .mp3 and remove the DRM.  That better =P
[19:03] <bod_> pushpop-, brilliant -- ffmpeg
[19:04] <MasterShrak> blice i dont know for sure if its going to work, but ive had problems resolving by hostnames before, and that helped (i thought it would be worth a shot since i noticed you installed winbind and i needed that for this too)
[19:04] <s0u][ight> hello
[19:04] <bod_> !hi | s0u][ight
[19:04] <ubotu> s0u][ight: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[19:04] <s0u][ight> how can i enable my usb ports?
[19:04] <MasterShrak> they should already be enabled
[19:04] <Pelo> MasterShrak, just taht command in the bash script ?
[19:04] <pushpop-> bod_ Do you know that answer made to sence to me?
[19:04] <DrX> bod_:  apt-get upgrade isn't taking me to v7.04 from v6.10
[19:04] <blice> MasterShrak: Nah, I get the same error even with 'wins' at the end of the host line.
[19:04] <s0u][ight> well lsusb gives nothing
[19:05] <s0u][ight> and i've upgraded to hardy
[19:05] <bod_> Pelo, in the bash script have whatever command you would use from terminal to run your program
[19:05] <MasterShrak> Pelo i assume you've ran this command from the command line before, just put the exact command you ran in a bash script. first line: #!/bin/bash        second line is your command
[19:05] <aghachi> um do i download at nvida site linus x32 bit
[19:05] <bod_> DrX, no you asked how to make sure you have all upgrades
[19:05] <MasterShrak> aghachi do you have 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu?
[19:05] <bod_> !distupgrade | DrX
[19:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about distupgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:05] <aghachi> i have intel 2.4 dual core
[19:05] <MasterShrak> !upgrade | DrX
[19:05] <ubotu> DrX: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:05] <bod_> !upgrade | DrX
[19:06] <MasterShrak> aghachi i dont care what your processor is, did you install the 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[19:06] <aghachi> lol i duno i dled the 64bit one but my windwos was always 32
[19:06] <bod_> pushpop-, do you know that response doesnt make sense either?
[19:06] <lubse> hello
[19:06] <aghachi> is ther somewhere i can check
[19:06] <lubse> how come I cannot login to root?
[19:06] <MasterShrak> aghachi then you have 64, download the ia64 i think
[19:06] <MasterShrak> aghachi uname -m
[19:06] <lubse> the password seems diffrent then this user lubse
[19:06] <aghachi> o the -m ok
[19:06] <brobostigon> !root | lubse
[19:06] <ubotu> lubse: 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
[19:06] <DrX> it says to run Update Manager but then it says I'm not root and it won't let me login as root
[19:06] <aghachi> x86_64
[19:06] <danand> !root | lubse
[19:07] <MasterShrak> !root | DrX
[19:07] <ubotu> DrX: 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
[19:07] <aghachi> so i have the 64 bit
[19:07] <bod_> DrX, run update manager with sudo?
[19:07] <lubse> lol?
[19:07] <MasterShrak> aghachi you need the ia64 i think then, thats intel 64 i believe
[19:07] <aghachi> ok thanx
[19:07] <bod_> !lol | lubse
[19:07] <ubotu> lubse: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[19:07] <Pici> !botabuse
[19:07] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[19:07] <DirtyMonkey> evening all, is somebody willing to help me configure suphp?
[19:07] <DrX> bod_: it's a GNOME menu item
[19:07] <aghachi> mastershark it says linus 64 thats the one i need correct?
[19:07] <theall> i am having a problem with a realtek audio driver in ubuntu, and cant seem to get the drivers installed
[19:08] <MasterShrak> aghachi http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia64_1.0-5336.
[19:08] <hischild> any chance that there is someone who can help me get me my tv output working? currently i've tried to use twinview and a seperate X, yet they either don't work (blank screen) or black and white (twinview) ...
[19:08] <MasterShrak> aghachi http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia64_1.0-5336  (sorry no . at the end)
[19:08] <aghachi> o ok thanx!
[19:08] <bod_> DrX, yer? sudo update-manager
[19:08] <MasterShrak> !tvout | hischild
[19:08] <ubotu> hischild: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[19:08] <danand> theall - do you know the name of the module/driver you are trying to install#
[19:09] <aghachi> it still worked master shark the irc identfied the link!
[19:09] <hischild> master_o1_master, thank you :-)
[19:09] <DrX> bod_: gave me warning:  "could not open display"
[19:09] <MasterShrak> hischild its MasterShrak :)
[19:09] <bod_> DrX, but did it work?
[19:09] <DrX> bod_: noope
[19:09] <theall> the hardware is "Intel High Definition Audio"
[19:09] <hischild> MasterShrak, uhhh ... yeah ...
[19:09] <pushpop-> Could anyone recommend a program that will convert a .wma to .mp3 and remove the DRM.  That better =P
[19:09] <hischild> my bad :p
[19:09] <bod_> DrX, did you already have another one open?
[19:09] <Pici> !intelhda | theall
[19:09] <ubotu> theall: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:09] <frank232> hischild: black and white probably works except for some NTSC-PAL issue or Component/s-video output issue
[19:09] <MasterShrak> !intelhda | theall
[19:10] <DrX> bod_: segmentation fault (core dumped)
[19:10] <MasterShrak> ah
[19:10] <MasterShrak> lol
[19:10] <beautifulsnow> hey danand running 'cat /proc/i8k'  I get 1.0 A07 (edit: removed service tag) 44 -22 0 27660 0 -1 -22  Do you know which one indicates fan speed?
[19:10] <DrX> bod_: nope
[19:10] <s0u][ight> how do i enable lsusb?
[19:10] <s0u][ight> i mean usb ports
[19:10] <MasterShrak> s0u][ight you dont, its a command, open a terminal and type it
[19:10] <bod_> DrX, oh,.,.well thats a new problem,.,.not sure im afraid,. but i tested the command on my machine and it works,.,.ask the channell ;~)
[19:10] <s0u][ight> type lsusb?
[19:10] <DirtyMonkey> is anyone able to help me configure suphp on ubuntu running apache2 and PHP 5?
[19:10] <hischild> frank23, i've had color on this setup before so i'm fairly sure it's a configuration option somewhere
[19:10] <frank232> hischild: that sentence didn't make much sense... but you're probably only missing some option with twinview
[19:10] <DrX> bod_: is there a way to log into GNOME as root OR to run update-manager as root?
[19:11] <DrX> is there a way to log into GNOME as root OR to run update-manager as root?
[19:11] <theall> ok, leme try that, ty
[19:11] <bod_> DrX, log in as root = bad idea ,. sudo update-manager runs update manager as root
[19:11] <hischild> frank23, it made sense to me :-) i'm just not sure which option thus i turned to the almighty channel for support
[19:11] <MasterShrak> DrX gksu update-manager   would be my guess
[19:11] <DirtyMonkey> i cant find 'suphp.conf'
[19:11] <ph0rensic> g'day maytes
[19:11] <aghachi> mastershark when i type sh NVIDIA-Linux-ia64-1.0-5336-pkg1.run in the terminal it says cannot open...
[19:11] <DRebellion> DrX, yar, use gksu, not sudo for graphical apps
[19:11] <DrX> MasterShrak: "cannot open display"
[19:11] <s0u][ight> cuz it gives nothing
[19:11] <s0u][ight> while i know there is something plugged in
[19:11] <danand> theall - gonna need a little more info than that. try running the commands lspci -vvv and lshw in a terminal. that will output info about the make and model of the audio card you have. if you can find that out come back and tell the channel. its likely someone will know what driver/module you will need to enable that card.
[19:12] <DirtyMonkey> i dont seem to have a file call 'supho.conf'
[19:12] <MarkusS> good evening everyone
[19:12] <MasterShrak> aghachi first you have to make it executable: sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-ia64-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
[19:12] <DirtyMonkey> suphp.conf even
[19:12] <MasterShrak> aghachi then you need to kill your xserver, run it and start your xserver again
[19:12] <DrX> DRebellion: it returns (gksu:5660): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
[19:12] <frank232> !tvout | hischild
[19:12] <ubotu> hischild: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[19:12] <aghachi> aw ok where can i read about command like is there a n00b guide?
[19:12] <MarkusS> anyone here who can help me with a licensing issue regarding ubuntu?
[19:12] <DRebellion> DirtyMonkey, neither do i. what is the problem?
[19:12] <hischild> frank23, MasterShrak gave me those links :-)
[19:13] <DRebellion> !terminal | aghachi
[19:13] <ubotu> aghachi: 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
[19:13] <MasterShrak> aghachi type: man chmod        in a terminal
[19:13] <bod_> !elaborate | MarkusS
[19:13] <ubotu> MarkusS: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)

[19:13] <theall> , is what it printed
[19:13] <DrX> so, what if I really really really want to login to GNOME as root ... how would I do this?
[19:13] <bod_> DrX, create a root passwd then login with username 'root'
[19:13] <DirtyMonkey> DRebellion im trying to config suphp so as installations of joomla have the correct file permissions
[19:13] <DRebellion> DrX, sudo -i . then use the passwd cmd to set a root passwd. then log in as root
[19:14] <danand> theall - ok. wait one..
[19:14] <DRebellion> DirtyMonkey, maybe just create it then?
[19:14] <aghachi> cannot access no such file or directory....
[19:14] <DrX> DRebellion: I already have a root password
[19:14] <aghachi> sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-ia64-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
[19:14] <aghachi> when i typed that in
[19:14] <MasterShrak> aghachi are you in the directory where that file is located?
[19:14] <DRebellion> DrX, then use it when you login to gnome
[19:14] <DrX> DRebellion: but it says "the system admin... is not allowed to login as root"

[19:15] <MarkusS> We want to use Ubuntu as the OS for a software appliance we want to sell (as VMWare image). Question is, can we do that without having to license our product with the GPL. It does not modify the OS itself, it just runs on it.

[19:16] <DrX> sheet, I always forget that Ubuntu & Windows have the same general kinds of headaches...
[19:16] <bod_> MasterShrak, mwahahaha
[19:16] <MasterShrak> DrX that couldnt be further from the truth
[19:16] <bluefox83> how do i copy my music files over to my nfs share and ONLY move the files that are different than what is already there?

[19:16] <ubotu> PS11: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[19:16] <Eccorusz> is it possible to install ubuntu on a usb hard disk and boot form it ?
[19:16] <DrX> MasterShrak: well, for one thing, updating windows is a whole lot easier.  and upgrading is a bit easier
[19:16] <DRebellion> MarkusS, methinks not.
[19:17] <DRebellion> Eccorusz, yes
[19:17] <aghachi> ok  it did it i think... it just when to shapatank@shapatank-desktop:~$..... btw wats the short to copypaste? im used to cntl-c, cntrl-v but it aint working lol
[19:17] <MasterShrak> DrX when something doesnt work in ubuntu, there is a reason, things stop working in windows for no apparent reason
[19:17] <Eccorusz> how to do this ?
[19:17] <dusti[n]> is there a ubuntu hardy channel?
[19:17] <DRebellion> aghachi, highlight with mouse, right-click, select "copy". then to paste, shift+insert.
[19:17] <MasterShrak> aghachi if you didnt get any output from that command, you are good
[19:17] <Eccorusz> can u help me to configure it ?
[19:17] <DrX> MasterShrak: perhaps, but I mean that doing things, making changes, is actually easier in Windows generally
[19:17] <bod_> MasterShrak, then they work aain for no apperent reason, then crash again,. its a universal micro cycle...;~)
[19:17] <MasterShrak> !hardy | dusti[n]

[19:18] <dusti[n]> ty
[19:18] <DrX> MasterShrak: so overall, it could be a wash if you make a lot of changes
[19:18] <aghachi> alright thanx mastershark imam do the rest of the insructions now!
[19:18] <DRebellion> Eccorusz, me, personally? no.
[19:18] <MasterShrak> DrX thats only because you are used to windows, you can make many more changes, and in an easier manner once you know how to, in ubuntu
[19:18] <DrX> HOW DO YOU LOGIN TO GNOME AS ROOT?
[19:18] <theall> danand, give me a few mins, i may have found part of my issue
[19:18] <Pici> !caps | DrX
[19:18] <ubotu> DrX: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[19:18] <Eccorusz> or is there any tuto to configure it ?
[19:18] <brobostigon> DrX: how can you say updating is hard, is one command in the terminal, and thats it,
[19:18] <SunsparcSolaris> DrX, you dont login directly
[19:18]  * bod_ curses at Pici for his bot speed
[19:18] <DrX> MasterShrak: umm, no, tell that to someone trying to get driver support for NVIDIA cards in 6.x
[19:19] <neverblue> DrX, use sudo su (then type your admin pass)
[19:19] <danand> theall - what is it??
[19:19] <MasterShrak> aghachi youll have to kill your xserver before you are going to be able tin install that nvidia driver
[19:19] <MrKeuner> hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid)
[19:19] <SunsparcSolaris> DrX, you have to login as a user and then authenticate to root with sudo
[19:19] <bod_> DrX, you have been told quite a few times
[19:19] <J_P> hi all
[19:19] <binaries-AP1> DrX: that option has to be enabled w. the gui; you can also command as root using the sudo -s command
[19:19] <Eccorusz> is it the official chatroom ?
[19:19] <bod_> SunsparcSolaris, you can login as root...
[19:19] <bod_> Eccorusz, yes for ubuntu
[19:19] <Eccorusz> yeah
[19:19] <gold44> which is best dhcp server to run?
[19:19] <SunsparcSolaris> bod_, not directly by default
[19:20] <MasterShrak> DrX you cant even compare windows and linux, the fact that the nvidia driver was a pain in the arse in 6.x is not in the least bit ubuntu's fault, its nvidia's and in the bigger picture windows's fault
[19:20] <theall> danand, i have been trying to get this driver i got from realtek's website to work, but it kept giving me some errors, i reinstalled the linux headers and it got to a further point
[19:20] <Eccorusz> is there anyone can explain how to install and boot from hard disk usb ?

[19:22] <Eccorusz> i know search myself
[19:22] <MasterShrak> DrX not quite the argument that you were making before, but i can agree at some level

[19:24] <MasterShrak> aghachi ctrl+alt+f1, log in and type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[19:24] <wols> aghachi: it will come back. if not /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:24] <vinsk1> damn.. i just got "new" machine (amd 2000+ 1gb and radeon 9200) and im using gnome with ubuntu 7.1. desktop feels so slow
[19:24] <MasterShrak> aghachi make sure you run the nvidia installer as root (sudo sh NVIDIA....)
[19:24] <MrKeuner> Pici: I was following
[19:24] <MrKeuner> Pici: wasn't
[19:24] <DrX> SunsparcSolaris: I did that several times but it says "Failed to run ... /Feisty as user root" every time
[19:24] <wols> vinsk1: what videodriver?
[19:24] <cvasilak> hi there i am looking (preferably for a gnome-applet) that i can enter events for specific dates in the calendar and be able to be notified on them? any ideas?
[19:24] <Eccorusz> i have already ask my question before
[19:24] <hischild> i've been at those links, tried all of those, yet my tv-output still is only black and white  ...
[19:24] <Eccorusz> is there anyone can explain how to install and boot from hard disk usb ?
[19:24] <wols> !Pim
[19:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pim - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:24] <mewshi> ok... now what ? :'(
[19:25] <Pici> Eccorusz: Are you asking because you are having problems?
[19:25] <DrX> bod_: I know, I'm listening, and I did what I was told, but it still won't let me upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04
[19:25] <mewshi> i enabled ndiswrapper
[19:25] <Eccorusz> ppl here say yes
[19:25] <wols> !anyone | Eccorusz
[19:25] <ubotu> Eccorusz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[19:25] <aghachi> i typed man kill and it brought up a manuel
[19:25] <Eccorusz> yeah
[19:25] <SunsparcSolaris> DrX, you're the administrator of the machine, correct? You're listed in the sudoers file?
[19:25] <MasterShrak> cvasilak can evolution do that?
[19:25] <blag> how do i share my wireless network connection?
[19:25] <DRebellion> cvasilak, try clicking on the date in the top right?
[19:25] <Eccorusz> yeah Pici
[19:25] <vinsk1> wols, ati. i have no problems running openarena and stuff (compiz works ok) but plain desktop feels so slow
[19:25] <DrX> SunsparcSolaris: yes
[19:25] <bod_> DrX, what teminal command did you do?
[19:25] <wols> vinsk1: stop using compiz?
[19:25] <blag> how do i share my wireless network connection with another computer (ie - port masquerading)?
[19:25] <DrX> sudo su
[19:25] <DRebellion> aghachi, that's what its supposed to do. man(ual)
[19:25] <Pici> Eccorusz: We can't read minds, you need to explain breifly what issues you are having.
[19:25] <cucu> hello
[19:25] <MasterShrak> DrX if you sudo su to root, you wont be able to run gui programs like update-manager
[19:25] <vinsk1> wolz, its not in use... but it work ok
[19:25] <wols> !ipmasq | blag
[19:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipmasq - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:25] <SunsparcSolaris> DrX, and you can login to gnome alright?
[19:25] <[CroX]> I'm cloning my screen to a TV, using VGA, but the video output is only displayed as black on the TV. What could cause this and how do I fix it?
[19:25] <DrX> and that improved things such that it at least downloads the 2 updates for 7.04... but it won't install them
[19:25] <wols> blag: install ipmasq
[19:26] <DrX> SunsparcSolaris: yes, but not as root
[19:26] <temp_> heh.
[19:26] <aghachi> drebelion so how em i supped to type commands if i cant do anything
[19:26] <javatexan> is there a way to set the priority of a root process to be lower than a user process?
[19:26] <blag> wols: thanks
[19:26] <bod_> DrX, you never did a distupgrade?
[19:26] <cucu> i have a problem on ubuntu... my net don`t work
[19:26] <javatexan> not all processes....just one
[19:26] <wols> aghachi: you can do a lot of things
[19:26] <SunsparcSolaris> DrX, you're not able to login to GNOME as root by default unless you've set a root password
[19:26] <cucu> work just with google
[19:26] <Pici> javatexan: You can use nice and renice
[19:26] <bod_> !gq | cucu
[19:26] <ubotu> cucu: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[19:26] <Pici> javatexan: check their manpages.
[19:26] <wols> !doesn't work | cucu
[19:26] <cvasilak> MasterShrak, DRebellion : I don't much use evolution(i am a Thunderbird user), I think its overkill for what I would like to do
[19:26] <DrX> SunsparcSolaris: I have a root password
[19:26] <ubotu> cucu: 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.
[19:26] <Eccorusz> is there anyone can explain how to install and boot from hard disk usb ?
[19:26] <DrX> bod_: yes, it didn't work
[19:26] <Eccorusz> ppl here yes
[19:26] <Pici> !install > Eccorusz (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[19:27] <javatexan> it tried that but the pri seem to be adjusted to always be more important than a user's process
[19:27] <DRebellion> aghachi, you are trying to use the kill program. you don't know how to use it. you type man kill. you read the syntax. you press 'q' to quit the manual. you execute kill (kill [pid])
[19:27] <hischild> !repeat | Eccorusz
[19:27] <J_P> ohhhh PGSQL 8.3 will be released in 8.04 :-)
[19:27] <ubotu> Eccorusz: 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
[19:27] <wols> !doesn't work | DRX

[19:27] <MasterShrak> cvasilak check if there is an extension for thunderbird for this...
[19:27] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[19:27] <bod_> DrX, why? error message? ran as root? or sudo? tried more than once? rebooted after updates, tried again?
[19:27] <[CroX]> The output on the TV works just fine but it's the video that wont clone. Someone know?
[19:27] <wols> Eccorusz: if you constantly repeat, you ohnly annoy people here
[19:27] <cvasilak> MasterShrak, thanks
[19:27] <javatexan> Pici: it tried that but the pri seem to be adjusted to always be more important than a user's process
[19:27] <J_P> and will be standard/default
[19:27] <J_P> :-)
[19:27] <DrX> bod_: it says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded"
[19:27] <Pici> javatexan: negative numbers mean higher priority.
[19:28] <noodlesgc> has anyone ever gotten the error, "connect: no buffer space available"
[19:28] <frank232> [CroX]: what video player are you using?
[19:28] <Eccorusz> DRebellion: where is he ?
[19:28] <Eccorusz> he say yes
[19:28] <DRebellion> noodlesgc, somebody came in here a few days ago with that error.
[19:28] <cucu> Feb 29 20:23:21 dracusor-desktop pppd[5201]: Cannot determine ethernet address f or proxy ARP
[19:28] <noelferreira> do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down.
[19:28] <javatexan> Pici: i know
[19:28] <Pici> javatexan: Think of it as a scale of 'how nice' the process will be to other processes.
[19:28] <aghachi> so in the kill program i type kill xserver
[19:28] <[CroX]> frank23: Doesn't matter, on both Totem (I think) and VLC I get this problem. The video is shown on the computer monitor but not on the TV.
[19:28] <wols> aghachi: no. read the manpage
[19:28] <hischild> aghachi, no, xserver isn't a pid....
[19:28] <DrX> bod_: ran as sudo, tried 3 times, rebooted after updates & retried
[19:28] <binaries-AP1>  noelferreira; look into using the driver w. ndiswrapper
[19:29] <javatexan> Pici: yes, but the pri is being moved so that even though I am using nice 20 the pri is moved from 25 to 39 to compensate
[19:29] <wols> DrX: you still don't give us one single shred of useful info
[19:29] <bod_> DrX, read this page thouroughly!! -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[19:29] <MasterShrak> aghachi i told oyu the command: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[19:29] <noelferreira> there are 2 different drivers and i have to use ndiswrapper? binaries-AP1 are you sure there's no better solution
[19:29] <bod_> !gq | DrX
[19:29] <ubotu> DrX: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[19:29] <DrX> wols: what do you want to know?
[19:29] <DRebellion> aghachi, press ctrl+alt+f1 before you execute MasterShrak's comand
[19:29] <aghachi> o sorry mastershrak didnt catch that
[19:29] <kavit> Hi, I was wondering if the kernel module firmware_class is a part of standard gutsy install? I get a FATAL: Module mot found error when I modprobe it
[19:29] <frank232> [CroX]: try changing the video output driver (like xv, xshm) I don't remember which one works.
[19:30] <aghachi> then i double click the icon or do the sudo sh nvidia thing
[19:30] <kavit> will I need to compile this myself?
[19:30] <MasterShrak> aghachi are you on irc with that same computer or a different one?
[19:30] <Pici> javatexan: Are you seeing evidence of root's process taking up cycles where another users process should be?
[19:30] <hischild> i need a pointer (more like a guide) to help me get my tv output from black and white to color. I've tried to use pal and ntsc modes on it yet it stays on black and white after restarting X
[19:30] <[CroX]> frank23: In xorg.conf? Should I run dpkg-reconfigure for that?
[19:30] <DrX> bod_: I did that stuff
[19:30] <frank232> [CroX]: no it's an option in the video player itself
[19:30] <all> well, i do not believe it worked, the sound icon on the top of the screen gives an error about no sound card installed, when i click it
[19:31] <DrX> bod_: don't have a distro server in house, haven't tried downloading & installing from CD
[19:31] <aghachi> master same
[19:31] <DrX> bod_: but tried all the GUI and command line apt-get dist-upgrade options
[19:31] <danand> kavit - for a list of all the installable modules on your system type modprobe -l in a terminal. you may wanna pipe that through less :)
[19:31] <neeto> Can someone link me to a tutorial detailing how to connect to  VPN by hand?
[19:31]  * bod_ reminds DrX that he's afk
[19:31] <achilles616> im having problems with a theme not loading correctly....  it is not even the right color!!!
[19:31] <DRebellion> aghachi, please mention the full nickname of the person you are talking to. otherwise, your messages simply become lost and forgotten.
[19:31] <neeto> ^(Creating a tunnel to connect through and routing hosts and whatnot)
[19:32] <DrX> afk?
[19:32]  * hischild hands out a cookie to bod_ 
[19:32] <pushpop-> Could anyone recommend a program that will convert a .wma to .mp3 and remove the DRM.  That better =P
[19:32] <Pici> DrX: Hes not here anymore. away from keyboard.
[19:32] <kavit> danand: already done that, it is not there. I was wondering if it was removed from gutsy?
[19:32]  * bod_ is pleased,. runs off to eat his cookie without all you thieving people
[19:32]  * bod_ ;~)
[19:32] <aghachi> ok drebellion
[19:32] <[CroX]> frank23: I found it. Thanks!
[19:32] <frank232> pushpop-: AFAIK there is no way to remove DRM from .wma and .wmv
[19:32] <DrX> Pici: oh, thanks.
[19:32] <frank232> [CroX]: cool
[19:32] <aghachi> same mastershrak
[19:33] <DrX> so is this upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 pretty much not going to happen?
[19:33] <DRebellion> frank232, pushpop-, play it and record the output to file
[19:33] <hischild> DrX, give us info and THEN we might ... i've seen 5 requests for info yet none have been answered
[19:34] <danand> kavit - are you sure firmware_class is a module and not just a kernel config option. what part of the kernel does that belong to ?
[19:34] <DrKralle> Listen to Good Liberty Musik :-) www.libertyradio.de directly from Germany :-)
[19:34] <javatexan> Pici: yes...my multimedia skips :)
[19:34] <binaries-AP1> DrX: correct me if im worng, but i believe that a distro upgrade wil only work while the distro is still in transition. To my understanding a distro upgrade will not work in your situation, as there are newer versions of the os available. As far as i know the transitional upgrades are removed from the default repositorys. I believe you have a better chance of getting your system to work correctly, by using doing a clean install (
[19:35] <neeto> Can someone link me to a tutorial about setting up a VPN by hand?
[19:35] <kavit> danand: menu General Options... it should be under drivers/base
[19:35] <hischild> i need a pointer (more like a guide) to help me get my tv output from black and white to color. I've tried to use pal and ntsc modes on it yet it stays on black and white after restarting X
[19:35] <gold44> which is best dhcp server to run?
[19:35] <danand> kavit - wait one ... just having a look
[19:35] <kavit> danand: its not there in the kernel headers but linux-source has drivers/base/firmware_class.c
[19:35] <Pici> binaries-AP1: Packages stay in the repositories until that release reaches its End of Life. Which is not yet for those versions.
[19:35] <Slart> best?? they hand out ip's, how good can they get
[19:35] <DRebellion> !best | gold44
[19:35] <ubotu> gold44: 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.
[19:36] <Pici> javatexan: What root process is giving you problems?
[19:36] <lordleemo> neeto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient
[19:36] <neeto> Thanks
[19:36] <DrX> I'm not running anything from /tmp  the updater is
[19:36] <frank232> hischild: did you try this option in Device    Option          "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or SVIDEO etc
[19:37] <Pici> DrX: What command are you using to update?
[19:37] <DJNOS> Buenas tardes a todos desde MEXICO
[19:37] <hischild> frank23, yeah have that in there ... didn't make much of a change whether it's in or out, both give the same (black and white) output
[19:37] <DrX> sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:37] <Pici> !es | DJNOS
[19:37] <ubotu> DJNOS: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[19:37] <DrX> Pici: also trying System-Administration-UPdate Manger
[19:37] <frank232> hischild: are you connected with composite?
[19:38] <DrX> Update Manager
[19:38] <hischild> frank23, define composite?
[19:38] <Pici> DrX: Did you run apt-get update before you upgraded?
[19:38] <DJNOS> Gracias ubotu solo queria pasar a saludar.
[19:38] <DrX> Pici: yes, that installed 4 updates and then I restarted
[19:38] <danand> kavit - do you mean Userspace firmware loading support?
[19:38] <frank232> hischild: one RCA cable (often uses a s-video to rca adapter)
[19:38] <javatexan> Pici: i am running a process that converts mp2 to mp4 in the background as root, because the content is being added to the server as several users, so root is the only one who can effectively chmod, chown, etc.  I can tell it is cheating because the multimedia skips and because I have been monitoring the usage of nice via top.  As I increase nice of the root, the process automatically gets more PRI.
[19:38] <yaro> I am having problems logging into my Ubuntu machine via SSH. Even though I put in the right user name and password, I keep getting "Permission denied."
[19:38] <Pici> DrX: So What version of Ubuntu are yoy running now?
[19:39] <DrX> still 6.10
[19:39] <DrX> how do I enable root login from within GNOME?
[19:39] <javatexan> :(
[19:39] <aghachi> mastershrak i typed in the command to kill xserver and i went into dos mode then i was stuck so i pshed cntrl-alt-dlt then it restarted now im back here
[19:39] <gold44> i am not taking polls, just dont know which one to use
[19:39] <Pici> DrX: you don't.  run commands with gksudo if you *need* root access.
[19:40] <DrX> Pici: yes, but gksudo didn't work for this command
[19:40] <hischild> frank23, i'm not sure whether it is an RCA cable so i'll explain what i do know ... i've got an SVIDEO output from my laptop, which goes to a SCART plug in the back of my tv alongside of the SVIDEO plug is a 3,5mm sound plug (the normal headset connector) for the sound.
[19:40] <Adys> any idea how to restart Bind from ssh? What Im finding on google is outdated
[19:40] <oddchild> Hello, there has been someone trying to crack my servers all day today... Is there a terminal command to ban the ip?
[19:40] <DrX> Pici: so I thought I'd try running the GNOME menu item if I can login as root
[19:40] <Rico> hi
[19:40] <jpatrick> Adys: sudo /etc/init.d/bind restart ?
[19:40] <deadlyallance335> would someone help me with vbox ?
[19:40] <DrX> someone earlier said you can enable root login for GNOME -- how?
[19:41] <hischild> deadlyallance335, what's up with your vbox?
[19:41] <Pici> !noroot
[19:41] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[19:41] <Pici> javatexan: That sounds like normal behavior.
[19:41] <frank232> hischild: i don't know what a SCART plug is...
[19:41] <danand> kavit - if you do that module is called FW_LOADER i think. if you cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep FW you should see the options your kernel uses
[19:41] <yaro> I am having problems logging into my Ubuntu machine via SSH. Even though I put in the right user name and password, I keep getting "Permission denied."
[19:41] <eeepcsx66> I can not edit my /etc/init.d/rc file because of admin rights, how do I get around this to change the concurrency=shell?
[19:41] <Pici> javatexan: Priority 1 is the highest priority on the system.
[19:41] <Adys> jpatrick:  tried it, doesnt exist
[19:41] <aghachi> did mastershrak leave?
[19:41] <Yasumoto> yaro: can you log in  normally? (while sitting at the computer)
[19:41] <yaro> Yasumoto: Yes.
[19:41] <ks3> oddchild, sudo ip route add blackhole x.x.x.x/32
[19:42] <lubse_> #ubuntu
[19:42] <Yasumoto> try to do "ssh localhost" while sitting at the computer
[19:42] <jpatrick> Adys: sorry, no idea then..
[19:42] <lubse_> :S
[19:42] <DrX> Pici: we know the root password & it works, just need to know how to login to GNOME as root
[19:42] <frank232> hischild: try the s-video option instead of composite maybe?
[19:42] <gold44> i am not taking polls, just dont know which one to use DRebellion
[19:42] <Adys> jpatrick: bind9 restart worked
[19:42] <Adys> cheers :)
[19:42] <hischild> frank232, one of those wide plugs for your tv ... the same thing you can connect a video or a dvd player with (just noticed... you have an extra 2 behind your name ... sorry for mistyping)
[19:42] <recon> I seem to have broken X while setting up tightvnc. The error file is complaining about setuid set or something, and since I didn't set setuid or setguid on any files, i'm clueless.
[19:42] <deadlyallance335> hischild i am running 7.10 and vbox with xp installed i would like to connect to my windows partitions winch are mounted can i do this thru like a vert network share ?
[19:42] <recon> a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't work.
[19:42] <jpatrick> Adys: aha, knew it was nearby :)
[19:42] <frank232> hischild: I just checked what SCART is and it's only popular in Europe ;)
[19:42] <jpatrick> recon: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[19:42] <deadlyallance335> drx you probley not get suport for that hear but feel free to pm me
[19:43] <Pici> DrX: Like I said, we don't support a root password here.
[19:43] <Yasumoto> yaro: try to do "ssh localhost" while sitting at the computer. (and make sure caps lock is off. that's given me problems so many times ~_~ )
[19:43] <hischild> frank232, yeah .. i was afraid of such a thing ... yet my tv only supports SCART :(
[19:43] <kavit> danand: i will have to compile it i think.... thanks anyway
[19:43] <Ace_NoOne> hi there - a friend of mine wants to install Ubuntu, but his laptop has no functioning optical drive - what's the best thing to do here?
[19:43] <yaro> Yasumoto: I am able to SSH into localhost
[19:43] <danand> kavit - did you see my last?
[19:43] <Pici> !install > Ace_NoOne (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[19:43] <eeepcsx66> I can not edit my /etc/init.d/rc file because of permission rights, how do I get around this to change the concurrency=shell to speed up boot time on my pc?
[19:43] <hischild> deadlyallance335, depends on which direction you wish to go ... if you want data from outside your vbox available inside your vbox, i'm suggesting to use shared folders ...
[19:43] <sizzle> where can I find someone to help me with chat room scripts
[19:44] <recon> jpatrick: nope, still same error message.
[19:44] <Ace_NoOne> Pici: thanks
[19:44] <danand> kavit - if you do that module is called FW_LOADER i think. if you cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep FW you should see the options your kernel uses
[19:44] <Yasumoto> yaro: interesting. try "sudo aptitude reinstall openssh-server" on your server
[19:44] <deadlyallance335> hischild if i share my folders how do i set it up to access them from inside vbox
[19:44] <Jack_Sparrow> eeepcsx66, sudo nano to edit or gksudo gedit
[19:44] <eeepcsx66> k
[19:44] <hischild> deadlyallance335, do you know how to use a network share on xp?
[19:44] <danand> kavit - the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel has that set to yes by default
[19:44] <eeepcsx66> Jack_Sparrow: thank you
[19:45] <deadlyallance335> yes
[19:45] <DrX> never mind, I figured it out
[19:45] <Yasumoto> yaro: that might fix some sort of configuration file. do you think you've edited some configuration file that prevents certain users from logging in?
[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> DrX, Running gnome as root is not a good idea...
[19:45] <frank232> hischild: did you try the s-video instead of composite in your xorg.conf
[19:45] <kavit> danand: ah ok. so its compiled into the kernel?
[19:45] <deadlyallance335> hischild yes
[19:45] <hischild> deadlyallance335, you can use a vbox share the same way ... only you have to use the vbox sharing option (somewhere in the menu) to set them
[19:46] <D7xk> how can I switch out of a full screen terminal server client window?
[19:46] <yaro> Yasumoto: I never changed my sshd configuration.
[19:46] <DrX> Jack_Sparrow: Well, Captain Jack, if you've got a better idea on how to get 6.10 upgraded to 7.04, I'm all ears
[19:46] <hischild> frank232, i think i did that in the first place ... let me check without it
[19:46] <deadlyallance335> hischild thanks ill take a look
[19:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !upgrade
[19:46] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:46] <eeepcsx66> Jack_Sparrow: I typed that in the terminal and nothing popped up...besides editing on the bottom...I need the notepad thing to edit...then save?
[19:46] <yaro> Yasumoto: Reinstalling it didn't work.
[19:46] <danand> sizzle - yes. on my system that option is compiled in rather than being a loadable module. i just use  a stock kernel - 2.6.22-14-generic
[19:46] <kavit> danand: thanks for your help
[19:46] <Pici> DrX: None of the instructions require you to login to Gnome as root.
[19:46] <kavit> brb
[19:47] <danand> kavit - np
[19:47] <Yasumoto> yaro: that's trippy. so you're able to make the connection to the machine, but the user name/password combination doesn't work
[19:47] <Yasumoto> yaro: *?
[19:47] <recon> Is there any way to move a non-screen process inside of a screen terminal?
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> eeepcsx66, you need to add the path and filename you want to edit after those commands
[19:47] <deadlyallance335> drx check you pm

[19:47] <binaries-AP1> DrX: you could try adding the repositories for your trageted upgrade
[19:47] <eeepcsx66> oh
[19:47] <yaro> I can login when I connect as localhost. But, say, for example, I'm tunneling from another machine, it says permission denied after I put in the exact same info.
[19:47] <Wanderer> anyone know the url for the latest backports for gutys?  I need a newer libc6 than 2.6.1
[19:47] <hischild> frank232, unfortunately still a no :(
[19:48] <jpatrick> Wanderer: we would never backport something like that (afaik)
[19:48] <Wanderer> wow, that's alot
[19:48] <AC149> Can anyone help with pidgin ?

[19:49] <frank232> hischild: np
[19:49] <jpatrick> Wanderer: it would probably break many systems
[19:49] <recon> Martian: yep.
[19:49] <AC149> Yasumoto : every time I type the letter h in a pidgin window (today only) it pops a MSN window up asking me to enter the alias of the person I want to message

[19:49] <hischild> i need a pointer (more like a guide) to help me get my tv output from black and white to color. I've tried to use pal and ntsc modes on it yet it stays on black and white after restarting X. Changing between SVIDEO and Composite also doesn't change.

[19:51] <Martian> Thanks a lot.
[19:51] <Martian> Worked.
[19:52] <s0u][ight> how can i close a window in wmii?

[19:58] <Buyydee> xobius: I'm back :) Your tip screwed my X system, I just got it to work again :)
[19:58] <yaro> Ech. I'
[19:58] <yaro> I'll figure it out later. Now to help folks.
[19:58] <psycholvlan> I think i remember playing with those before but I can't remember how I did
[19:58] <Gatton> s0u][ight, i take it it's not showing up in your games menu?
[19:59] <s0u][ight> i have no games menu running wmii
[19:59] <xobius> Buyydee, what happened?
[19:59] <binaries-AP1> psycholvlan: google your question
[19:59] <rmayr> ggod evening everybody! I feel like a complete newbie asking that, but since it's my first amd64 install, I'm stumped.... compiling a vanilla 2.6.24.3 kernel on a kubuntu hardy alpha 5 install (gcc 4.2) gives me a kernel package that's nearly 200MB in size. in comparison to the ubuntu kernel, all the module files are 2-3 times the size. any ideas/pointers/rtfm hints?
[19:59] <Buyydee> xobius: It disabled the drivers and I was only able to use the shell.
[20:00] <Gatton> s0u][ight, oh ok. well the game is at /usr/games/ppracer
[20:00] <Gatton> by default
[20:00] <rmayr> never had this issue on i386 architectures before
[20:00] <s0u][ight> tnx
[20:00] <xobius> Buyydee, I only add some screen modes
[20:01] <all> this is really annoying... i am trying to follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and got to the part to compile it, and it errors on me
[20:01] <Buyydee> xobius: I'm not blaming you, no need to defend yourself :)
[20:01] <s0u][ight> tnx man it is there :D
[20:01] <yaro> all: What are the errors?
[20:01] <s0u][ight> wmii gives better graphics :D
[20:01] <all> /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include/asm/hardirq.h:12: error: requested alignment is not a constant
[20:01] <all>  ... i think
[20:02] <Gatton> s0u][ight, i'll have to try it out. looks quite snappy
[20:02] <xobius> Buyydee, your monitor resolution is ok now?
[20:02] <squarebracket> can anyone try ssh'ing my box to see if they get connection refused?
[20:02] <all> it doesnt give a spacific error
[20:02] <neeto> So I am running this perl script that opens a connection to a VPN, whist making a tunnel using ifconfig and routing a bunch of IPs through it. But after I run it, I lose connection completley, and when I type route, the routing table crashes, without errors. It just stops, and looks like its' thinking without throwing me back out to shell
[20:02] <yaro> all: Did you run ./configure first?
[20:02] <all> i also get a bunch of #If division by 0
[20:02] <all> yes i did
[20:02] <Buyydee> xobius: No, it's the same as before, but I'm a little tired now, I'll try it again tomorrow.
[20:02] <AtomicSpark> anyone know of a good lightscribe burner/addon to ubuntu?
[20:02] <Buyydee> xobius: I really appreciate your help, thanks.
[20:02] <xobius> Buyydee, ok
[20:03] <neeto> squarebracket: yeah, PM me the info
[20:03] <Buyydee> Good night everyone.

[20:05] <MartinCleaver> Why is there no gutsy-commercial repository still?
[20:05] <MartinCleaver> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/140807
[20:05] <all> yaro, http://paste-it.net/6860 is the complete output of the "make"
[20:05] <MartinCleaver> does this mean I should compile instead?
[20:05] <MartinCleaver> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/
[20:06] <MartinCleaver> "
[20:06] <MartinCleaver> I believe the commerical repo will pop up as soon as Gutsy is officially
[20:06] <MartinCleaver> released.
[20:06] <MartinCleaver> "
[20:06] <yaro> all: First try sudoing when you make, apparently it needs that. 2. It looks like you're missing some dev files.
[20:07]  * MartinCleaver believes he is running Gutsy
[20:07] <all> i did sudo it... do you know which dev files?
[20:07] <yaro> all: No, I don't.
[20:07]  * MartinCleaver reads "There's a new repository called 'partner' though."
[20:07] <AtomicSpark> what does it mean by "gutsy is officially released"?
[20:08] <jpatrick> MartinCleaver: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/133020
[20:08] <AtomicSpark> it would be in partner yes.
[20:09] <linkslice> my card readers used to work, but now do not, they don't even show up in a dmesg when a card is inserted
[20:09] <chemical>  Hello , what are the advantages of gutsy instead of feisty(on things that are matters)
[20:09] <AtomicSpark> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[20:09] <MartinCleaver> Thanks jpatrick
[20:10] <BrianG> hmm.. i am using compiz and somehow have 4 different cubes
[20:10] <jpatrick> MartinCleaver: always read the dup bugs ;)
[20:10] <chemical> should i upgrade my feisty?
[20:10] <BrianG> desktop switcher switches between cubes rather than sides of one cube
[20:10] <Yasumoto> yaro: any more luck?
[20:10] <binaries-AP1> chemical: in my opinion , using a newer distro helps to push along the open source project
[20:10] <pa> hi
[20:11] <pa> i updated amsn on gutsy and it stopped working.. what can i do?
[20:11] <yaro> Yasumoto: No. I am thinking o looking into my configuration files. Any ideas what could be prohibiting my access?
[20:11] <Yasumoto> no, I can't think of anything :/  maybe google might help
[20:12] <Azag> hi
[20:12] <MartinCleaver> Ok. I now have both source code and non source code gutsy partner listed
[20:12] <MartinCleaver> But
[20:12] <Drixx> frostwire does'nt conn. to d net ... how do i make dat work ???
[20:13] <Azag> any one can help me to install plugins for gnome-do?
[20:13] <yaro> Yasumoto: Does SSH have a verbose mode?
[20:13] <wigren> I have a HP Pavilion5020us with Ubuntu 7.10 that was working just fine until recently. I can still see my wireless network, and the machine tries to connect, but then it stops. Also, the light that indicates my wireless card is on goes off after it stops trying to connect. A few seconds later the light comes back on and I try again. Nothing. Any ideas?
[20:13] <MartinCleaver> Although searching for vmw restricts the LHS icons to "System" vmware doesn't show listed
[20:13] <Drixx> can neone help me with that pls...
[20:13] <Yasumoto> yaro: yep ssh -v
[20:14] <chemicalgr> binaries-API , My ISP sucks
[20:15] <Drixx> frostwire open normally but does'nt connect to d net ... how can i fix that ??
[20:15] <MartinCleaver> so should I add fiesty to my gusty install?
[20:15] <yaro> Yasumoto: I'm gonna put up a pastebin.
[20:15] <MartinCleaver> into sources.list, I mean
[20:15] <Flannel> chemical: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/710rc
[20:15] <Yasumoto> yaro: sweet
[20:16] <chemicalgr> Flannel thank you
[20:16] <MartinCleaver> Or just install from source?
[20:17] <DrHala1> can i just unstiall update-manager (cause itll remove ubuntu-desktop too)
[20:17] <psycholvlan> my aliases aren't working.... for some reason I'm doing everything it says but they won't work
[20:17] <Flannel> chemicalgr: it's actually this: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour
[20:17] <fire360> how to tell if my usb card supports wake-on-lan?
[20:17] <Flannel> DrHala1: why do you want to remove update-manager?
[20:17] <fyrmedic> Anyone know how to get "network manager" to recognize my wireless? iwconfig recognizes both eth1 and eth0. And yes unfortunately it is a Broadcom chipset.
[20:17] <MartinCleaver> or use the alien system to convert the rpm?
[20:17] <DrHala1> Flannel, cause its borken and apt-get cant fix it
[20:18] <yaro> Yasumoto: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57868/
[20:18] <Flannel> DrHala1: well, you can remove it, and yes, you'll need to remove ubuntu-desktop, but that's not the end of the world (its just a metapackage).  What's broken about update-manager though?
[20:18] <chemicalgr> Flannel did you upgrade it via iso or onlide update?
[20:18] <Flannel> chemicalgr: I'm still using Dapper
[20:19] <Yasumoto> yaro: alright, give me a second to skim through it :)
[20:19] <MartinCleaver> "Hey all, I see the vmware-server package is already in the partner repo, try it. And close this bug if it's OK to you. It's not in the "Add/Remove..." program, you'll have to use Synaptic to install it"
[20:19] <MartinCleaver> Wha???
[20:19] <DrHala1> Flannel, E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:19] <chemicalgr> flannel Dapper is the previous one release?
[20:19] <Flannel> DrHala1: Oh, that's not an issue with update-manager, that's just a general apt issue.  removing update-manager won't do anything to affect that
[20:20] <depinko> hello, how can I give access to directory which is owned by another user, I want to create a symlink in another users dir or something like that
[20:20] <DrHala1> Flannel, so wheres the prob
[20:20] <Flannel> chemicalgr: Its from June of 2006, so three releases ago.
[20:20] <beautifulsnow> Hello, is there an utility that I can right click, and say "mount my USB Drive now, kthnxbai"? Because right now, I have to unplug/plug my drive  to make ubuntu mount it
[20:20] <Flannel> DrHala1: It depends on what the error actually is. Do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:21] <DrHala1> Flannel, reinstalling fixed it though ;) (im using 8.4 btw think something went wrong during the update)
[20:21] <MartinCleaver> apt-get install vmware-server ---> E: Couldn't find package vmware-server
[20:21] <Tor33> depinko, you can add the the two users to the same group and then give read/write permisisons to that group to that directory
[20:22] <chemicalgr> flannel, why is that seems that you don't help community to develop (lol just kitting)
[20:22] <Flannel> DrHala1: ah, well, there may indeed still be bugs with Hardy, it is alpha software afterall.  Furhter issues should be asked in #ubuntu+1
[20:22] <Flannel> chemicalgr: What?
[20:22] <bluewraith> is there a command for lamp to make it go live? right now, I have my port forwarding enabled but can still only access the site from my local network
[20:22] <depinko> Tor33: so lets assume they are both in users group, now I need just to give them permissions, right?
[20:23] <Flannel> bluewraith: It is "live" by default.  Are you sure your port forwarding is working properly?
[20:23] <Yasumoto> yaro: have you been able to ssh into the remote machine before?
[20:23] <Tor33> depinko, right with the right permissions to the directory
[20:23] <Sinnerman> woops. wrong key combination :/.
[20:23] <depinko> Tor33: which would be best?
[20:24] <bluewraith> Flannel, forwarding from 80 to my servers port 80.. thats how it should be right?
[20:24] <yaro> Yasumoto: Yeah, on a previous install of Ubuntu on the target machine.
[20:24] <Sinnerman> how do i find out what the parent of a process is?
[20:24] <Flannel> bluewraith: Yes, and your sure the IP your connecting to is the proper one?
[20:24] <chemicalgr> flannel, a freind here answered in the question why should i upgrade my feisty to gutsy and he answered that by upgrading feisty push along the open source project (it was a good answer)
[20:25] <bluewraith> Flannel, yes. even confirmed it from the router
[20:25] <Tor33> depinko, not sure I follow you, which would be best between what?
[20:25] <chemicalgr> sorry for my english
[20:25] <Yasumoto> yaro: on the remote machine, type out your password in vi or the terminal or something, just to make sure that it's correct
[20:25] <Yasumoto> yaro: (like the keyboard hasn't been mapped differently, for instance)
[20:26] <yaro> Yasumoto: By remote machine, you mean the one that is attempting to tunnel?
[20:26] <Yasumoto> yaro: yeah
[20:26] <zoobox> hello
[20:26] <Yasumoto> yaro: (sorry for not clarifying)
[20:26] <depinko> Tor33: best permissions to give
[20:26] <zoobox> what is the name of the normal windowsborder-painter?  when I don't use compiz
[20:26] <eigma> I'm trying to get apt-get to recognize my feisty (7.04) server CD image. I have mounted the image at /media/image, and gotten apt-cdrom to recognize it using "apt-cdrom -m -d /media/image add" (it said "This disc is called: 'Ubuntu-Server 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Release i386 (20070415)'"). however, when I run "apt-get clean" then "apt-get update", I see "Ign cdrom://Ubuntu-Server 7.04 ...".. why is the cdrom ignored?
[20:27] <Flannel> chemicalgr: Ah.  Well, Dapper is still a current version, and can upgrade straight to Hardy too.  I've still filed my fair share of bug reports as well.
[20:27] <hischild> eigma, it might be older then your current system?
[20:27] <Tor33> depinko, I would give read/write permission to the parent directory to the gourp
[20:27] <eigma> hischild: I'm almost certain this is the exact CD I installed the system from
[20:28] <yaro> Yasumoto: The password is correct.
[20:28] <eigma> hischild: how can I find out?
[20:28] <Yasumoto> yaro: brutal.. I can't think of what it could be :/
[20:28] <hischild> eigma, there was a command to find out ...
[20:28] <hischild> i forgot it though :(
[20:28] <Flannel> eigma: Do you have no other sources? (internet ones)
[20:28] <chemicalgr> Flannel look me I'm happy with feisty but newer is better than the oldies
[20:28] <MartinCleaver> I hadn't done a "sudo apt-get update" since ticking the box in Synaptic
[20:29] <eigma> Flannel: I do, but I want to use the cdron whenever possible for speed
[20:29] <binaries-AP1> eigma; you should edit your configuration to allow the cdrom to act as a repo, i believe what you are describing is something in the direction of >apt-on-cd

[20:29] <obfusco> eigma: apt-get seems to ignore package lists that are already up-to-date
[20:29] <eigma> obfusco: that is why I did "apt-get clean" beforehand
[20:29] <all> is there a way to roll back the sound card drivers?
[20:29] <Flannel> eigma: The CD rom will be older than any internet source (because it doesn't have any updates), so apt will use the newer ones preferentially.
[20:29] <MrKeuner>  is there a hardware testing program that runs on linux? I would like to find out if certain hardware might have problems working on Linux. I tried applying all the tests in IBM's PC Doctor Software but that runs on PCDOS. actually the laptop is freezing randomly, and I am looking for a way to find out what's wrong
[20:29] <eigma> Flannel: it's possible that there have been no updates to a particular package, no?
[20:30] <MartinCleaver> apt-get should remind the user if they got no results.
[20:30] <eigma> I'm going to try to install a package for which I know the cdrom has the latest version

[20:30] <binaries-AP1> all:try googling your last command w. reste to defaults
[20:31] <Yasumoto> yaro: have you tried rebooting?
[20:31] <Flannel> eigma: Yeah, I'm not sure how that works though apt-cache wise.  You can verify your CDrom has been added by vieweing your sources.list, and if you want to make sure it's working properly, you can remove your othre sources temporarily
[20:31] <binaries-AP1> all: you can try using ndiswrapper for windoze drivers
[20:31] <yaro> Yasumoto: It is persistant.
[20:31] <obfusco> eigma: clean only removes packages, not package lists
[20:32] <aghachi> is there any fix to scrolly desktops?
[20:32] <eigma> ofusco: my next question is obvious: how do I flush the cached package lists/

[20:35] <Flannel> ace_suares: Yeah, that's where you'd file them.  Against the -website if you can't find a brainstorms specific thing.
[20:35] <ace_suares> Just a small issue with the voting.
[20:35] <Yasumoto> yaro: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[20:36] <ace_suares> so if there's an IRC for them it would be quicker.
[20:37] <Flannel> ace_suares: bug resolution is usually pretty quick when dealing with the website
[20:37] <yaro> Yasumoto: No go.
[20:37] <bsquizz> i'm running ubuntu 7.10 on a dell inspiron 600m, and i can't get my sound working. i tried doing the series of module-assistant commands i've seen on a couple forums, but i've still got no sound. anyone dealt w/ this before?
[20:38] <Yasumoto> yaro: yaro would you mind re-pasting your config?
[20:38] <Yasumoto> sorry for the double yaro ~_~
[20:38] <yaro> The modified onbe?
[20:38] <Yasumoto> yaro: yes please
[20:38] <Vuen> hi guys, running ubuntu 7.10 with samba here, i can copy files from XP computers just fine, but I can't copy files from Vista computers. the copy starts, then after a few megs stalls. anyone know why?
[20:38] <komputes> If you want to enable automatic login on Ubuntu Server (no graphical)
[20:39] <komputes> I mean, I want to enable automatic login on Ubuntu Server (no graphical), how can I do this?
[20:39] <yaro> Yasumoto: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57872/
[20:39] <Flannel> komputes: Automatic login for... what?
[20:39] <komputes> Flannel: for the computer
[20:39] <Praticle> I just did a fresh install of gutsy due to some issues, and i cant seem to get compiz working.... it keeps telling me "Desktop effects could not be enabled."... any help would be greatly appreciated
[20:39] <mikejoconnor> thanks wols
[20:39] <tomd123> does anyone know how to tunnel http traffic through ssh?
[20:39] <mikejoconnor> that's exactly what I needed
[20:39] <yaro> Praticle: Do you have your driver installed?
[20:39] <Flannel> komputes: Right, but what are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
[20:40] <komputes> Flannel: automatic login
[20:40] <kevi1> Hello, I could use a hand, I've been foolin with ubuntu-mobile and somehow wrecked my login. X crashes on login and so I'm force to use failsafe gnome. Can anyone give me a hand??
[20:40] <Praticle> yaro: i believe i do
[20:40] <Sinnerman> say im booting off a livecd, and have just copied /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 (new hard disk), and have now put /dev/sdb1 as the only drive in my laptop (and it now becomes /dev/sda1) how do i install a bootloader there? i have the OS on the device, but no bootloader.
[20:40] <obfusco> tomd123: to one server or many?
[20:40] <eigma> tomd123: look at the -L command line option, like "-L80:example.com:80" or the "-D" option
[20:40] <yaro> Praticle: Check your restricted drivers manager
[20:40] <tomd123> obfusco one
[20:40] <Yasumoto> yaro: I'm going to diff yours with mine
[20:40] <MrKeuner> Hi, does anybody have a good resource for fighting random lockups/freeze?
[20:40] <Flannel> komputes: just so you can have an open terminal sitting around? Are you trying to run something at boot? or what?
[20:40] <sorsis> any idea why my spdif doesn't work?
[20:40] <komputes> Flannel: just the login is all
[20:40] <obfusco> tomd123: as eigma said, -L
[20:41] <Praticle> yaro: i had it selected but it seems to have been disabled somehow, thx alot
[20:41] <bod_> !doesntwork | sorsis
[20:41] <ubotu> sorsis: 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.
[20:41] <tomd123> obfusco and eigma thankyou
[20:41]  * squarebracket laughs
[20:42] <squarebracket> sorsis: motherboard spdif or a seperate sound card?
[20:42] <komputes> Flannel: I know if graphical mode I can do System => Administration => Login Screen Setup and select auto login but I don't know how to do that on server
[20:42] <Flannel> komputes: Right.  I'm just wondering what you're hoping to accomplish/gain/whatever through it.
[20:43] <komputes> Flannel: I'm trying to accomplish auto-login
[20:43] <kevi1> Can anyone have a look at my .xsession-errors file and tell me what I broke?
[20:43] <komputes> Flannel: do you know how to do it?
[20:43] <franek> siema
[20:43] <bod_> komputes, i think Flannel is trying to find out 'why' you want to auto login
[20:43] <obfusco> eigma: to clear the cache of a package list, comment to repo (the deb-cd entry in this case), run apt-get update, uncomment, and update again.  Refetches package file for me
[20:44] <komputes> bod_: I understand, so you think he doesn't know...
[20:44] <eigma> I think it was using the cdrom all along - I uninstalled a trial package and reinstalled it (with clean's in between) and it went very fast, whicih leads me to believe it was off the cdrom
[20:44] <aghachi> why is my desktop scrolly when i have dual monitors and both at a resolution of 1280x1240?
[20:44] <bod_> komputes, i think i dont know, what can you gain from auto login? apart from a few more seconds
[20:45] <Flannel> komputes: He's trying to find out *why* so he can perhaps suggest alternatives, because it seems random.  You literally just want a box that always has an open terminal?  For what purpose really?
[20:45] <komputes> bod_: there is no keyboard
[20:45] <hischild> komputes, then what good does an autologin do?
[20:45] <komputes> Flannel: there is no keyboard
[20:45] <Yasumoto> yaro: darn. no luck. apparently you can re-comment that password line, since that was the only difference between our config files
[20:45] <Praticle> im a bit closer now, the driver is enabled but now its saying "The composite extension is not available."
[20:45] <obfusco> aghachi: probably the resolution is two high, two monitors may be contributing.  Do both monitors display something?
[20:45] <komputes> hischild: you can't very well login with no keyboard
[20:45] <killown> hi there is any mode to play yoube videos on totem?
[20:46] <yaro> Yasumoto: Maybe something else is conflicting with it.
[20:46] <hischild> komputes, you cant do anything either without a login can you
[20:46] <obfusco> killown: downloaded flv diles?
[20:46] <hischild> killown, you can fetch youtube vid's with some plugins .. which you can play back later
[20:46] <Flannel> komputes: What are you going to be doing after terminal login, with no keyboard?
[20:46] <Yasumoto> yaro: yeah, must be..
[20:46] <komputes> Flannel: auto-run x
[20:46] <Yasumoto> I've gotta get going, but if you figure out what's wrong, send me a pm
[20:47] <killown> obfusco, search and browse YouTube.com video files all within Totem
[20:47] <Flannel> komputes: Why don't you just run X to begin with?
[20:47] <Yasumoto> yaro: I'll search around google too
[20:47] <aghachi> yes no the res works if i have 1 monitor
[20:47] <killown> hischild,  hmm
[20:47] <komputes> Flannel: I have all my scripts in place, but I need to know how to auto-login in server
[20:47] <aghachi> but when i put two they both become scrolly obfusco
[20:47] <Flannel> komputes: You're suffering from NIH.  We're trying to help you.
[20:47] <bluewraith> I'm trying to connect to my LAMP server, but can only do so using my local ip address. I have port forwarding set up to go from port 80 to my server ip port 80. any idea why?
[20:48] <Praticle> yaro: im a bit closer now, the driver is enabled but now its saying "The composite extension is not available."
[20:48] <kevi1> bluewraith: do you know if your isp is blocking port 80??
[20:48] <obfusco> aghachi: do both monitors support the resolution?
[20:48] <aghachi> yes
[20:48] <Buzzons> hi, i took out a network card from my ubuntu box as i just want to use the onboard 10/100 intel nic. I rebooted the box and it's not finding anything. lspci shows the card. how would i make it work?
[20:48] <aghachi> i ran it like this in win xp
[20:48] <Flannel> komputes: http://linuxgazette.net/issue69/henderson.html  scroll down to "Automating Login", Ubuntu doesn't use inittab, but it does something similar (in a different file).  Depending on the version you're using, it'll be different (upstart or not).  With upstart, it's somewhere in /etc/event.d/
[20:48] <bluewraith> kevi1, i dont know. i tried to forward 8090 to 90, and connect to that port, but it still didnt work
[20:49] <aghachi> they both support 1280x1240
[20:49] <genii> Buzzons: It will be eth1 now and not eth0
[20:49] <Buzzons> ifconfig doesn't find anything for eht0,eth1 or eth2
[20:49] <Wanderer> ugh, where do I get the sysconfig package?
[20:49] <Flannel> komputes: But again, you're going about this in an entirely backwards and roundabout way.  And we're just trying to help you get your setup working as efficiently as possible.  Rube Goldberg setups aren't ever good.
[20:50] <bluewraith> kevi1, sorry, 8090 to 80.
[20:50] <Buzzons> humm seems it's on eth3 maybe
[20:50] <genii> Buzzons: Is the onboard nic enabled in bios?
[20:50] <Buzzons> wtf
[20:50] <Buzzons> genii, aye
[20:50] <komputes> Flannel: just simply say you don't need to login automatically to start x, i understand that
[20:50] <thannoy> bluewraith: if you are trying be an internal connection to your switch.. many ISP switch does only forward external incomming connection, no one comming from the internal network.
[20:50] <Buzzons> is there a way to set it to be eth0?
[20:50] <komputes> Flannel: but let's just say I wanted a dead shell with no keyboard, what would I need to do
[20:50] <Bo^Dick> hi
[20:50] <obfusco> aghachi: do you get scrolly with a lower res?
[20:50] <hischild> Buzzons, you tried to run dhclient?
[20:50] <aghachi> obfusco whats my condition called so i search google?
[20:51] <kevi1> bluewraith: does it work on other computers on the local network or only the server?
[20:51] <aghachi> obfusco lemme check
[20:51] <yaro> Praticle: Try reinstalling XGL
[20:51] <obfusco> killown: looks like it is possible http://tecnocode.co.uk/2007/10/12/totem-youtube-plugin/ though it requires compiling from SVN source
[20:51] <Praticle> yaro: how would i go about that?
[20:51] <Bo^Dick> what would happen if i used NTFSclone and tried to unpack an image onto a bigger destination partition?
[20:51] <thannoy> bluewraith: try using an external proxy so the connection will come from the internet and will be more likely to be rerouted by your switch
[20:51] <bluewraith> kevi1, i'm not quite sure on that one
[20:52] <bluewraith> thannoy, i'll give that a shot. got a good one to try?
[20:52] <yaro> praticle: Uh, check for the packages in Synaptic?
[20:52] <genii> Buzzons: If it's the only one now in the box, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and comment out/remove the old entries for eth0,eth1 etc
[20:52] <Praticle> yaro: ok
[20:52] <aghachi> obfusco it becomes even more scrolly! its like using zoom!!!!!
[20:52]  * beautifulsnow asks: I can watch youtube videos, so that means I have flash installed, right? Though when I go online to watch Lost, it says I dont have flash 8 installed
[20:52] <killown> obfusco, I had see it
[20:53] <chazco> Anyone know how to make the msttcorefonts display correctly when editing documents?
[20:53] <genii> Bo^Dick: You get a partition the same size as original and then spare space after
[20:53] <Buzzons> genii : fair play. next qwuestion, i edited /etc/network/interfaces and changed the eth0 settings to eth3
[20:53] <obfusco> aghachi: more scrolly at lower res?!
[20:53] <Buzzons> then did an ifconfig eth2 down eth2 up
[20:53] <Buzzons> ethtool reports link is up, but no ip etc has been given
[20:54] <genii> Buzzons: Changes in that file won't take effect unless you reboot or restart udev
[20:54] <bluewraith> thannoy, i cant connect via proxy, either.  the shieldsup scan report all ports as stealthed
[20:54] <obfusco> beautifulsnow: are you using firefox?
[20:54] <beautifulsnow> obfusco: yes i am
[20:54] <kevi1> Would anyone be able to help me out with x crashing imediatley upon longin, I have a .xsession-errors file ready to go??
[20:54] <aghachi> obfusco yea! it like the zoom in xp u know? how it scrolls around when it zoomed in??? its like 800x600 but streached to fit 19 inch as well as my 17inch but one more thing also get sdisabled my extra effects :(
[20:55] <obfusco> beautifulsnow: go to about:plugins and look under shockwave flash for the version number
[20:55] <aghachi> obfusco when i mirror the 2 screens it ok
[20:55] <beautifulsnow> obfusco:  Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115
[20:55] <obfusco> aghachi: ok mirrored at the higher res?
[20:55] <Bo^Dick> genii: unpartitioned spare space then?
[20:56] <aghachi> i think any res
[20:56] <aghachi> when the 2 screen do the same thing
[20:56] <^-Super_Treje-^> sera a tutti
[20:56] <genii> Bo^Dick: Yes
[20:56] <obfusco> beautifulsnow: yeah, looks like you have flash..  try using a different site?
[20:56] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: what video devce are you running dual screens with?
[20:57] <aghachi> nvdia 7900... i think it may be the drivers
[20:57] <Bo^Dick> genii: that would imply that NTFSclone would be capable of modifying the partition table (the last 64 bytes of the first 512)
[20:57] <chazco> beautifulsnow - Does Firefox say you dont have Flash (yellow bar) or does the website show its own message?
[20:57] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: hmm.. my Pc is at home and i can't remember hat card i have, but i think its a 7900
[20:57] <aghachi> how do i manuelly install the linux x64 ver i downloaded at the site
[20:57] <aghachi> like it says restriced
[20:58] <beautifulsnow> obfusco and chazco, I have flash installed, I can see you tube, you tube video, SFIR text, those annoying flash ads, those annoying flash navigations...
[20:58] <aghachi> in my driver settings
[20:58] <obfusco> beautifulsnow: what is the website you are having trouble with?
[20:58] <chazco> beautifulsnow - Then my guess would be the site has some sort of script to check for Flash, that probably checks for Windows or checks in some windows specific way
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: i just use restricted driver manager, then install nvidia-settings-manager i think., and use it to setup dual screens how i want ti
[20:58] <aghachi> indygunfreak do u no how i can do it in ubuntu?
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi:  uh, cuz i run dual screens
[20:59] <IndyGunFreak> 32bit though, so that may be your issue... 64bit is to much freakin hassle right now.
[20:59] <aghachi> hmmm ill try that my prob is that it scrolly when i put dual;
[20:59] <aghachi> the site had 64 bit ubuntu
[20:59] <Bo^Dick> genii: have you used ntfsclone yourself?
[20:59] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: what site?
[21:00] <DanceAddict> how do i connect epson projector to my laptop
[21:00] <chazco> Anyone know how to make the msttcorefonts display correctly when editing documents? They appear to have their spacing/padding missed out
[21:00] <beautifulsnow> obfusco, http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing
[21:00] <aghachi> ubuntu
[21:00] <twiztr> I switched to a different monitor, that won't let me use the high rez my gui is set to, so now when I reboot, I cant get even as far as the login screen. I have to use a command line for everything.
[21:00] <beautifulsnow> obfusco, nevermind,ill watch on virtual box
[21:00] <obfusco> beautifulsnow: ok
[21:00] <beautifulsnow> obfusco, thanks
[21:00] <twiztr> So I need to know how to command line reset it to 800x640 or w/e.
[21:00] <IndyGunFreak> twiztr: you need to reconfigure x
[21:00] <aghachi> indugunfreak http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:00] <aghachi> i dled the first one it didnt even install
[21:01] <aghachi> so i dled the second one and it installed
[21:01] <genii> Bo^Dick: That prgram specifically I don't know. But if you image any drive on a bit by bit basis with whichever program then restore it to a partition larger than it ws originally, it only occupies it's original space and the tail end is free. dd works this way for instance
[21:01] <twiztr> IndyGunFreak:apt reconfigure ?
[21:01] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: well i know they hve a 64bit version, that doesn't mean you have tod ownload it.
[21:01] <twiztr> IndyGunFreak: What's the full command I would know.
[21:01] <aghachi> indygunfreak now ur telling me i need 32bit? errr
[21:01] <IndyGunFreak> twiztr: hold on a sec.. i'll find it for you
[21:01] <DanceAddict> how do i connect my epson projector to my laptop
[21:01] <twiztr> IndyGunFreak: Thanks. :)
[21:01] <Bo^Dick> genii: ok, thanks
[21:01] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: i didn't tell you to download 64bit, i'm just telling you 64bit has a lot of hassles involved that i don't like.
[21:01] <aghachi> indygunfreak my windows was 32 bit
[21:02] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: ok.. and?
[21:02] <DanceAddict> hello is there anyone that can help me
[21:02] <rever> I need some help. Each time I log into my system my Icon Theme and My Background revert back to Ubuntu default. I have to go into Appearance and Customize my custom theme.
[21:02] <genii> Bo^Dick: np
[21:02] <twiztr> DanceAddict: Just as your question. :)_
[21:02] <aghachi> indygunfreak i kno lol my friend told me, so i didnt kno theres a 32 bit ver..... where can i find that
[21:02] <aghachi> i would think the site would have it
[21:02] <rever> My metacity theme stays the same just my Background and Icons revert
[21:02] <twiztr> aghachi: 32 bit version of what?
[21:02] <DanceAddict> I need to connect my projector to my lap top and I dont know how??
[21:02] <aghachi> ubuntu
[21:02] <Bo^Dick> i like to use the ghost philosophy when backing up stuff (it's so incredibly much faster)
[21:02] <twiztr> aghachi: On the site.
[21:03] <IndyGunFreak> twiztr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  run the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command, take generic defaults, to get back to the GUI, then configure it how you want it
[21:03] <twiztr> Just select the downoad thing
[21:03] <aghachi> twiztr http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:03] <aghachi> that site?
[21:03] <Bo^Dick> however, if the source is very fragmented so will the copy be
[21:03] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: yes, 32bit is on the ubuntu site..look at the name of the iso.. i386 is 32bit
[21:03] <twiztr> aghachi: Yea. Just select i386 instead of the amd64 install.
[21:03] <obfusco> DanceAddict: cable-wise or configuration-wise?
[21:04] <twiztr> IndyGunFreak: Beat me to it. :)
[21:04] <DanceAddict> both Im a complete novice
[21:04] <IndyGunFreak> twiztr: did you get what i said above?
[21:04] <aghachi> the one that says sndard personal?
[21:04] <DanceAddict> I have connected the cables but it will not recognise the computer
[21:04] <twiztr> IndyGunFreak: Yea I did. I'm going to switch ttys, and try it out.
[21:05] <aghachi> i dled that and it wouldnt install, find kernals etc.
[21:05] <komputes> Flannel: I enjoy making machines that are extremely complicated apparatuses that perform a very simple, easy task in an indirect and convoluted way. Just kidding, now that I know how to do the auto login, how would you startx and applications within it, just by pressing the power button?
[21:05] <DanceAddict> I have have also tried pressing Fn F7
[21:05] <IndyGunFreak> twiztr: just remember, generic defaults.. doesn't hagve to be perfect, just get  you back to the GUI, then you can fix things
[21:06] <aghachi> indygunfreak: twiztr: i tried to isntal that first one but it wouldnt install
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: wouldn't install, bre a bit more specific.
[21:06] <egc> anybody know of an IRC server/chan for rhythmbox?
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: and second, if you ot 64bit to install, 32bit will install.
[21:06] <egc> i need to find out how to repair a corrupted ipod
[21:06] <ere4si> egc: #rhythmbox
[21:06] <Flannel> komputes: You'd need to have it execute that command whenever you login.  Which means it'd have to go in your bashrc, which also means you'll be restarting a new X process every time you start a new terminal.  Not a good setup.
[21:06] <lordleemo> question can anyone answer when packages in the repositeries will be updated? its all good and dandy bringing out new versions every 6 months ,but whats the point when nobody  seems to bother updating packages
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> egc: do you need to save the music thats on it?
[21:06] <egc> nope
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> just open it like a hard drive, delete everything, unmount, then remount and rewrite everything.
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> i believe thats what i done.
[21:07] <egc> ere4si: tried that...guess it either isnt used or im the only one currently in it
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> egc: does  gtkpod have a tool to do that?
[21:07] <komputes> Flannel: except I don't want the user to see a login prompt
[21:07] <aghachi> indygunfreak: when i was in the boot menu the countdown didnt install and pushing enter wouldnt isntall either, i went into text mode and typed the install command and it wouldnt install then it would give kernal errors, so my friend suggested installing the second one and it worked.
[21:08] <obfusco> DanceAddict: are you running the latest version (7.10 aka gutsy) ?
[21:08] <Devourer> What is the /opt/ directory for?
[21:08] <ere4si> egc: yep - you're right
[21:08] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: that suggests a bad burn, more than it "wouldnt install"
[21:08] <DanceAddict> obfusco: thansk for asking... its the config that wont work. The proj will not recognise the computer and I have tried Fn F7
[21:08] <egc> IndyGunFreak: yeah I browsed to it with nautilus, and deleted a file that was probably needed, and now it's crashing rhythmbox
[21:08] <egc> IndyGunFreak: good idea with gtkpod though, ill try that too
[21:09] <aghachi> indygunfreak.... really!?!? hmm i went through freakn 3 cds for it lol. maybe it could be
[21:09] <Flannel> komputes: Like I said.  *don't* do it that way.
[21:09] <ere4si> egc: #rhythmbox IRC channel on irc.gimp.net.
[21:09] <genii> Devourer: see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES for an explanation
[21:09] <egc> ere4si: thx!
[21:09] <DanceAddict> Yes I have just been informed that I am running Gutsy 7.10
[21:09] <ere4si> k
[21:09] <favoritefood0> I need a simple answer from you guys, then I'll not bother you. I just need to enable myself to allow mount/unmount and write access to my other hard drives
[21:09] <komputes> Flannel: so when you say " you'll be restarting a new X process every time you start a new terminal", even ctrl alt F1 will restart an X session
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: well, if it failed on you 3x, its either you, or the iso file.. i'd download an iso from a different server, and when you burn it, burn it slow... 2-4x is best.
[21:09] <twiztr> Thanks everyone, well I'm going to be off.
[21:09] <thannoy> DanceAddict: what is your screen resolution?
[21:09] <aghachi> indygunfreak: so 32bit will help out my graphics problem
[21:09] <obfusco> DanceAddict: use System->Administration->Screens and Graphics
[21:09] <hank_h> Anyone available to help with some iptables configuration questions?  I'm trying to set up a home server using Ubuntu so I can stream music to my other PCs, and I want to set it up so requests from outside my internal network are forbidden.
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: all i can say, is dual screens run perfectly for me..
[21:09] <favoritefood0> If I right click, I don't have permission to be able to change who accesses my hard drives
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> and i'm almost sure i have a 7900
[21:09] <aghachi> !!! 2-4!!!!!! i burend at 48
[21:10] <komputes> Flannel: so how can it be setup? I'm open to new ideas
[21:10] <rinaldi_> hi im trying to share a folder over the live cd to my desktop but it's not appearing on the network. what could i be doing wrong?
[21:10] <DaveEngland> bazhang,  hello! my wireless is working!!! could you tell me, why cant i set my resolution higher than 800x600? :S pls help!
[21:10] <obfusco> DanceAddict: the projector should show up as screen 2
[21:10] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: well, thats not definitely your problem, but for burning iso's, slower is usually better
[21:10] <gnychis> i accidently removed nm-applet from my top panel, how do i re-add it?
[21:10] <Bo^Dick> do the newer linux ghost softwares support features like adjusting the partition size to a new destination if its bigger or smaller?
[21:10] <ere4si> rinaldi_, have you installed samba to the running live cd?
[21:10] <aghachi> indygunfreak i burend it at 48x... ill make one more cd at 4x...
[21:10] <ajbrun> hello, could someone help me with my ubuntu desktops please. They don't seem to be linked up. If I move a window half way out, it doesn't show the other half in the next desktop.
[21:10] <Flannel> komputes: Setup your server to start X automatically (well GDM), and automatically login with your user.
[21:10] <rinaldi_> ere4si: yep, it prompted me to when i went to "shared folders"
[21:11] <aghachi> indygunfreak thanx for ur help!
[21:11] <ere4si> k
[21:11] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: certainly worth a try..... might consider another ISO
[21:11] <IndyGunFreak> brb.. just updated and half to restart
[21:11] <DaveEngland> could anybody tell me, why cant i set my resolution higher than 800x600 ?
[21:11] <obfusco> ajbrun: is compiz enabled?
[21:11] <ajbrun> yes
[21:11] <aghachi> indygunfreak i got it off the website though... u mean i should torrent another 1?
[21:11] <favoritefood0> DaveEngland, what kind of graphics card you got?
[21:11] <komputes> Flannel: I know, i'm asking how
[21:11] <rinaldi_> ere4si: woah, now its up nevermind. seemed it needed 10 mins
[21:12] <favoritefood0> err....What kind do you have?
[21:12] <ere4si> rinaldi_, hehe :)
[21:12] <obfusco> ajbrun: do you have the cube turned on?
[21:12] <DaveEngland> favoritefood0,  i have a nVidia GeForce 6200
[21:12] <gnychis> i accidently removed nm-applet from my top panel, how do i re-add it?
[21:12] <dos000> howdy
[21:12] <ajbrun> yes, but it still happens with compiz off
[21:12] <ajbrun> it's like each desktop is it's own and not linked to any of the others
[21:12] <cottima> hello, I am trying to figure out what AHCI is.  Is that the software RAID provided by the mobo?
[21:13] <DrX> update to 7.04 is asking "replace the customized configuration file '/etc/login.defs'? You will lose any changes you hae made to this configuration file if you choose to replace it..." implications?
[21:13] <obfusco> ajbrun: that's normal w/o compiz on, i think
[21:13] <ere4si> gnychis, right click the panel and select add
[21:13] <favoritefood0> DaveEngland; Does it require an extra power source, like instead of just plugging it in, it requires an extra plug?
[21:13] <DaveEngland> favoritefood0,  no, no extra plug!
[21:13] <Flannel> komputes: Install ubuntu-desktop metapackage, and it will setup GDM to starting by default (just like regular desktop systems)
[21:13] <Carbonflux> DaveEngland, you can try  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you are not able to set the resolution via the gui
[21:13] <ajbrun> ah ok - well i've turned it back on now and it's still happening
[21:13] <gnychis> ere4si: and then what? I tried adding "network monitor" but it seems that its not the same
[21:13] <dos000> i installed linux vserver by compiling a deb package using make-kpkg. but now apt-get dist upgrade is failing because it cant find the pkg
[21:13] <favoritefood0> DaveEngland; So it has no extra connectors on the inside of your case for anything? Only plugins externally?
[21:13] <DaveEngland> Carbonflux,  favoritefood0  i am also using compiz!
[21:13] <Bo^Dick> DaveEngland: i think you might need a driver for it
[21:14] <Carbonflux> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg *
[21:14] <dos000> is there a way i can pin it to say dont remove it
[21:14] <Bo^Dick> DaveEngland: what card do you have?
[21:14] <DaveEngland> favoritefood0,  no, i only need to put it in the AGP slot!
[21:14] <thannoy> DanceAddict: if your screen resolution is high (>120x780 for example), you could try to change it to 1024x780. To to that, use "xrandr" command.
[21:14] <komputes> Flannel: footprint too big, i use xdm, i just want the startx command to run - no login prompt
[21:14] <favoritefood0> That was my second idea, DaveEngland; do you have the drivers?
[21:14] <ajbrun> when i move a window to the next desktop, it still uses number one, but it's like there's 4 different desktop #1's
[21:14] <DaveEngland> favoritefood0,  no :S
[21:14] <hank_h> Can someone help me get some firewall settings correct?  I'm trying to set up a home server using mp3act, but I want to set up some firewall rules before I do so users outside my network will not be able to access my files.
[21:14] <ere4si> gnychis, add that then right click it - you can change the appearance to suit
[21:14] <solexious1> [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling
[21:14] <favoritefood0> DaveEngland; Install the Nvidia Drivers
[21:14] <elonole> how to install java?
[21:14] <DaveEngland> favoritefood0,  can i find them in sinaptyc?
[21:14] <ere4si> gnychis, with the properties
[21:14] <elonole> anyone knows?
[21:14] <Bo^Dick> DaveEngland: what card do you have?
[21:15] <favoritefood0> DaveEngland, Go to System -> Administrator -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[21:15] <DaveEngland> yes, i have enabled those drivers!
[21:15] <favoritefood0> I'll check and see which one they are in Synaptic
[21:15] <Carbonflux> DaveEngland, the gui for setting resolution is bugged in with nVidia in Ubuntu 7.10, its something in the driver that is not detecting the monitors correctly
[21:15] <obfusco> ajbrun: dunno, that's strange
[21:15] <elonole> i have a pachkage *.bin
[21:15] <ajbrun> ah k - i'll have a play about then
[21:15] <DaveEngland> Carbonflux,  so what can i do?
[21:15] <Carbonflux> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:15] <joanki> can anyone tell me how to get a file off of a remote network?  i know you put it in with scp?
[21:15] <gnychis> ere4si: whenever i right click and hit properties it takes me to an interface's properties, not to the properties of the panel item
[21:15] <elonole> don't know how to install it
[21:15] <joanki> thanks
[21:15] <ere4si> !java | elonole
[21:15] <ubotu> elonole: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[21:15] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, Do you know how I can give myself permission to mount and unmount hard drives?
[21:16] <ajbrun> actually - it is a compiz thing - i just set everything back to default
[21:16] <DaveEngland> Carbonflux,  i get this -> Package `xserver-xor' is not installed and no info is availabl
[21:16] <Flannel> komputes: Then put xdm in your init.d
[21:16] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, I just re-installed for the first time in a few months, and I don't have auto-permission to mount all my hard drives
[21:16] <obfusco> joanki: what is the remote machine
[21:16] <solexious1> [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling
[21:16] <Carbonflux> DaveEngland, that command will work or use: sudo nividia-settings
[21:16] <ere4si> gnychis, sorry - that's the limit of my knowledge on that - I don't use :)
[21:16] <almostdvs> i can't change my system volume control someone help...
[21:16] <joanki> i'm using eniac?
[21:16] <gnychis> ere4si: no problem, thank you
[21:16] <ere4si> k
[21:16] <joanki> i'm trying to get a copy of my file to my local machine
[21:16] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; Do you have an integrated sound card?
[21:16] <joanki> how do i use scp to do that?
[21:16] <komputes> Flannel: then once in x, how do I auto startup apps?
[21:17] <obfusco> joanki: have you used ftp before?
[21:17] <almostdvs> favoritefood0
[21:17] <almostdvs> yes
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> solexious1, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:17] <Carbonflux> DaveEngland: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <---- try the whole command
[21:17] <joanki> obfusco, no
[21:17] <peepsalot> anyone know what vino-session process is?
[21:17] <favoritefood0> almostdvs, What kind?
[21:17] <DanceAddict> obfusco: have done that but it is not recognised as screen2
[21:17] <DanceAddict> obfusco: :o(
[21:17] <bastid_raZor> joanki; log in to your box via ssh then scp file username@host:~/ and the file will be saved in your home directory .. that is if both machines are running *nix
[21:17] <obfusco> joanki: what kind of access to you have to the other computer? ssh?
[21:18] <joanki> obfusco, to get the file on there i used scp [nameoffile] my login address
[21:18] <Bo^Dick> why do i have over 100 processes when i type "ps -e"?
[21:18] <joanki> ssh
[21:18] <a1fa_> hey
[21:18] <a1fa_> can you install kubuntu through ubuntu live cd?
[21:18] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 iono  i have a presario c304nr laptop  my system sound used to work i believe.
[21:18] <Slart> peepsalot: I think it's something like remote desktop.. not sure though
[21:18] <thannoy> peepsalot: not sure at all, but "vino" reminds me a VNC-like remote control
[21:18] <obfusco> DanceAddict: this on a laptop?
[21:18] <joanki> obfusco, i want the file OFF of the remote server (bastid_raZor)
[21:18] <Bo^Dick> my windows partition only has like 26 processes
[21:18] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Could ya spare some time to tell me how to enable my profile to have read/write and mount/unmount privilages?
[21:18] <DanceAddict> obfusco: yep its on an ibm thinkpad
[21:18] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I am not sure what you mean, you can put them in /etc/fstab if thats what you mean but you should be able to use the sudo mount command
[21:18] <gnychis> how do you get to the compiz-fusion settings in gnome?
[21:19] <joanki> so obfusco i would type scp [filename] ???????????
[21:19] <peepsalot> thannoy, Slart, is that something that comes enabled by default?  I don't remember installing something like that
[21:19] <obfusco> joanki: easiest would probably be filezilla
[21:19] <Slart> peepsalot: yes.. I think it's installed by default
[21:19] <a1fa_> anyway to install kubuntu through ubuntu live cd
[21:19] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; on my XFS partitions, I don't have read and write, and I can't mount and unmount, or change who has access to files or anything
[21:19] <peepsalot> Slart, how do you connect to it? with a regular vnc client?
[21:19] <Shinjin> Is .msi a linux file extension?
[21:19] <pretender_> I have a new monitor that and i dont think X detected it how can i recenfigure X to pick up my new monitor
[21:19] <obfusco> DanceAddict: are you using a vga cable (it's got 15 pins) or some other kind of cable
[21:19] <joanki> bastid_raZor, how do i get it OFF of there?  other direction
[21:19] <Slart> peepsalot: I have no idea... I've never used it
[21:19] <Flannel> komputes: However you autostart apps in X already
[21:19] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, take a look at: man sudoers
[21:19] <bastid_raZor> a1fa_; no, you'll need the kubuntu cd or install kubuntu afterwards
[21:19] <genii> Shinjin: no
[21:19] <joanki> what is the name of my host?
[21:19] <a1fa_> whats the package name?
[21:20] <bastid_raZor> joanki; can you ssh into the remote server?
[21:20] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, Website or linky?
[21:20] <joanki> yes bastic
[21:20] <joanki> bastid
[21:20] <DanceAddict> obfusco: yep its gots 15pins 3x5
[21:20] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, just type it in a command shell on your box
[21:20] <Shinjin> genii: So the program that I downloaded is made for windows?
[21:20] <joanki> i can get a file ON, but i dunno how to get it off
[21:20] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, just "man sudo"?
[21:20] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 more clearly it works..  it thinks it is changed when i press the volume up+- mute buttons or do it through the gui but nothing changes actually
[21:20] <solexious1> [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling
[21:20] <ere4si> alfa_: you can install ubuntu then install kubuntu desktop - that will work like a kde install
[21:20] <obfusco> Shinjin: it is a windows insaller package, you may be able to use it with msiexec <- a wine program
[21:20] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; rightclick on your sound adjuster
[21:20] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, if its really just a permission thing you can set up the sudoers file to give yourself permissions to do various things.
[21:21] <bastid_raZor> joanki; then log in via ssh .. get to the directory the file is in.. scp filename yourusername@yourhost:~/ and the file will be saved in your /home
[21:21] <komputes> Flannel: i have no clue, I want to set them in a text interface though (without the need to download more utilities)
[21:21] <a1fa_> ere4si : whats the package name ? kubuntu
[21:21] <favoritefood0> and there should be a little pop up window and scroll down to "Speaker 1"
[21:21] <obfusco> DanceAddict: that should show up... try reeboting with it attached
[21:21] <komputes> whats the X startup script?
[21:21] <joanki> bastic_raZor, but... how do i find the "yourhost" portion of that?
[21:21] <ere4si> alfa_: kubuntu-desktop
[21:21] <thannoy> Shinjin: Microsoft Software Installer..
[21:21] <a1fa_> cool
[21:21] <a1fa_> thanks
[21:21] <bastid_raZor> joanki; your ip address will do
[21:21] <Shinjin> Well, I want somethign made for linux. Does anyone know a remote access program that runs fast, is cross platform, and Is made for linux?
[21:21] <joanki> cooool
[21:21] <DanceAddict> obfusco: OK Ill try that... thanks :o)
[21:22] <genii> Shinjin: Yes. msi file extension is Microsoft Software Installer file
[21:22] <Shinjin> That I can access from a website or something easy so I don't have to download anything on the other computer.
[21:22] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; So, to give myself RW/Mount and Unmount privilages, then how exactly would I set it up? Also, how would I have this start every time? Does it automatically start on my computer when it boots?
[21:22] <obfusco> Shinjin: remote desktop access?
[21:22] <K`Tetch> Hi, considering downloading ubuntu, and trying it - is it a liveCD as well, in the standard CD package, or is there a seperate live distro?
[21:22] <ere4si> alfa_: all kubuntu apps are in ubuntu's synaptic package manager
[21:22] <Shinjin> obfusco: Yeah
[21:23] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, when you modify the sudoers file you don't have to do it again
[21:23] <solexious1> [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling
[21:23] <obfusco> K`Tetch: the main cd is a livecd
[21:23] <Shinjin> obfusco: So I can get on my coputer from any other computer.
[21:23] <bastid_raZor> solexious1; you've been told already.. apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:23] <joanki> bastid_raZor, umm... doesn't seem to be working....
[21:23] <obfusco> Shinjin: are both linux or not?
[21:23] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; So when I modify it once, every time I go to mount/umount or anything I looks at my said permissions?
[21:23] <genii> solexious1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:23] <joanki> scp [fileName] username@ipaddy:
[21:23] <joanki> does that look right?
[21:23] <K`Tetch> ok, thanks obfusco - also, does the desktop version have server-hardware support? i've got an older dell server i want to use as a backup desktop
[21:23] <solexious1> bastid: Sorry, didnot spot it
[21:23] <joanki> i would file that stuff in btw
[21:23] <Slart> is there a quick way to count the number of lines in a simple text file?
[21:23] <Shinjin> obfusco: No, I want it for school where I use both windows and mac.
[21:23] <bastid_raZor> joanki; is port 22 or 23 blocked on your end? possibly your ip is blocking 23.. mine does
[21:23] <Flannel> komputes: That'll depend on whatever WM you're using.
[21:24] <joanki> is there another way, bastic?
[21:24] <artspace> how can i test to see if my firewire card is detected (i cannot capture from camera and want to debug)
[21:24] <joanki> bastid_raZor,
[21:24] <joanki> ?
[21:24] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, if that is the problem, I am not sure what you problem is tho, it seems like by default you should have those permissions, these drives were setup with a different user account or something ? the other thing you could do is recursivily take ownership of them
[21:24] <joanki> another @host i can type?
[21:24] <Flannel> K`Tetch: the geneic kernel should support almost all of the HW (and more) that the server kernel supports.  If you don't have exotic server hardware, you should be fine.
[21:24] <bastid_raZor> joanki; if you change that then you're not sending it to you
[21:24] <K`Tetch> dell poweredge 1650 - not that exotic
[21:24] <Arsenic> Hmm, I have a wee question, am I right to assume that the 8800 GTS has the same problems as the 8800 GT?
[21:24] <joanki> i don't know why it isn't working
[21:24] <bastid_raZor> joanki; what error is it giving you?
[21:25] <obfusco> Shinjin: vnc has the best cross-platform support, are you only trying to control linux?
[21:25] <joanki> nothing
[21:25] <joanki> it just waits
[21:25] <joanki> and waits
[21:25] <joanki> and waits
[21:25] <komputes> Flannel: none
[21:25] <dos000> anyone can tell me how i can pin a package that i compiled from src (into a deb) so it does not get removed ?
[21:25] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; The problem is I installed it, I had to do it manually (Weird partitions, overwriting and replacing old ones etc.), and I didn't select anything on the import manager, and so I made my main account, and I didn't have my permissions
[21:25] <Shinjin> obfusco: Yeah, so where can I get that?
[21:25] <joanki> is it wwaiting for something, bastid_raZor ?
[21:25] <bastid_raZor> joanki; what are you typing? are you sure the ip is correct? it basically should be near instant connecting and starting to send
[21:25] <gnychis> how do you get to the compiz-fusion settings in gnome?
[21:26] <Bo^Dick> is it natural that over 100 processes are running in the background?
[21:26] <joanki> i looked up my ip on whatismyip.com, bastid_raZor
[21:26] <Slart> !ccsm | gnychis
[21:26] <ubotu> gnychis: 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
[21:26] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, so you can't mount them using sudo mount /dev/drive ?
[21:26] <Bo^Dick> how many do you see with the command "ps -e"?
[21:26] <pretender_> how do i get x to detect a new monitor?
[21:26] <bastid_raZor> joanki; do you have a router on your home network?
[21:26] <joanki> yes
[21:26] <gnychis> Slart: thanks!
[21:26] <ere4si> Bo^Dick, I have 85
[21:26] <joanki> is there a command i can type to get my ip on my computer, bastid_raZor ?
[21:26] <Slart> Bo^Dick: I have about 150
[21:27] <obfusco> Shinjin: vnc is installed in ubuntu be default, howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[21:27] <bastid_raZor> joanki; ifconfig will tell you the ip your router gave it
[21:27] <Bo^Dick> to me it appears as a waste of performance
[21:27] <Flannel> komputes: You're using straight X?  Then you'll need to start programs however X does.  I'm not familiar with graphical programs in general though.
[21:27] <Shinjin> obfusco: I'm not actually on Ubuntu. I usually come here cause the Xubuntu channel is always dead.
[21:27] <Slart> Bo^Dick: been using linux for long?
[21:27] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; I can mount/unmount with sudo u/mount /media/drive but I can't change permissions (I just don't know how via command line), and I kinda want to be able to just right click and do it
[21:27] <ere4si> Bo^Dick, most are sleeping
[21:27] <Bo^Dick> Slart: not very
[21:27] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; I also can't change the name or mount point of my drives
[21:27] <aghachi> is there a way to edit my resolution so it doesnt scroll around the desktop?
[21:28] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 sry urgent distraction
[21:28] <Shinjin> obfusco: Will it still work>
[21:28] <obfusco> Shinjin: xubuntu should also have vnc installed, the wiki page info should still be valid
[21:28] <komputes> Flannel: ok, i'll figure it out... when you said to add xdm (or the startx command) to init.d, /etc/init.d is a directory, any file in particular I should edit?
[21:28] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; Yes, what?
[21:28] <joanki> bastid_raZor, which one is it?
[21:28] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, sudo chown -R <username> /mnt/mountpoint
[21:28] <bastid_raZor> aghachi; you need to do sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg to have it reconfigure for your monitor
[21:28] <Shinjin> obfuscu: thanks I'll look at it.
[21:28] <joanki> inet addr?
[21:28] <Bo^Dick> ere4si: is it faster to wake up a sleeping process rather than add the process instead?
[21:28] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 i had one.   u were helping me with sound problems
[21:28] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, sudo chown -R <username> /mnt/mountpoint/* might have to add the *
[21:29] <bastid_raZor> joanki; eth0 is probably it unless you have wireless
[21:29] <Bo^Dick> i could mention that it takes longer to boot ubuntu than windows xp for example
[21:29] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; does that give me permission to do everything through the neat GUI?
[21:29] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, do a: man chown
[21:29] <obfusco> Shinjin: just do the part under 'xfce', that is the window manager for xubuntu
[21:29] <joanki> bastid_raZor, i have wireless
[21:29] <ere4si> Bo^Dick, I think so

[21:29] <komputes> Thanks Flannel !
[21:29] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; Right click on the volume control, scroll down to preferences, and scroll down to see the options, it might have it selected on "CD", set it to "Speaker" or "Speaker 1"
[21:30] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, no, that is command line, to do it from the gui you need to run the file browser as root....
[21:30] <Carbonflux> gksu nautilus --no-desktop --browser %U
[21:30] <bastid_raZor> joanki; what other options do you have? i'm not 100% on what the wireless would be called
[21:30] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; That will let me do the neat GUI options?
[21:30] <Bo^Dick> ere4si: is ubuntu 7.10 more performance demanding than windows xp?
[21:30] <Carbonflux> in theory
[21:30] <aghachi> bastid_raZor:
[21:30] <aghachi> bastid_raZor: this is what i got
[21:30] <joanki> none of those numbers work, bastid_raZor very unusual
[21:30] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 it says hda intel (alsa mixer)
[21:30] <joanki> i guess i should give up and do later
[21:30] <aghachi> opps sorry for pushing enter too fast
[21:30] <Praticle> Hello, I have just installed wine and with it i installed steam. but the mouse doest line up... i have to put my mouse way above the buttons to click on them, any ideas?
[21:30] <joanki> this should be very simple
[21:30] <atonalpanic> I just tried to update alsa from 1.0.14 to 1.0.16, upon doing so my system crashed and i had to reinstall ubuntu-desktop to fix it, now I got it back up and running and my sound wont work at all.  can someone help me?
[21:30] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I might be missing something tho :) its hard to know what your exact config is
[21:30] <artspace> does anyone know how can i test to see if my firewire card is detected (i cannot capture from camera and want to debug)
[21:31] <joanki> btw, what is my username supposed to be bastid_raZor ?
[21:31] <joanki> that could be it
[21:31] <aghachi> bastid_raZor: sudo: dpgk-reconfigure: command not found
[21:31] <ere4si> Bo^Dick, never used xp...
[21:31] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; don't do the drop down menu, there should be a scroll menu right below that that lets you select the volume of the various inputs
[21:31] <bastid_raZor> joanki; what you set it as.. open terminal and type whoami
[21:31] <bastid_raZor> aghachi; dpkg
[21:32] <Carbonflux> you can use the tab completion function on bash too
[21:32] <atonalpanic> alsa sound help anyone?
[21:32] <Carbonflux> type dpk and hit tab
[21:32] <Slart> Bo^Dick: here's some reading material for you.. http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/33089.html
[21:32] <joanki> arrrrr doesn't work oh well
[21:32] <Bo^Dick> Slart: thanks
[21:32] <joanki> my whoami was what i thought i was
[21:33] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: i'm using a soundblaster card myself
[21:33] <_Oz_> is there a default hotkey for opening nautilus?
[21:33] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; I typed in gksu nautilus --no-desktop --browser %u and it just came up with a bunch of stuff explaning the command
[21:33] <jerbear> anyone use zsh here? what's the best package to use, zsh or zsh-beta?
[21:33] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: i wish i could remember how i made it work in ubuntu
[21:33] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: whats your problem?
[21:34] <atonalpanic> mBo^dick, my sound worked fine at first...then i tried to update it.  it killed the os but i was able to revive that and now sound is shot
[21:34] <ere4si> favoritefood0, I use the gconf-editor for that
[21:34] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 might be blind but no scroll menu below in vol. control preferences

[21:34] <bastid_raZor> joanki; forward a port on your router.. the way i do it forward 2222 to 22 since my isp blocks 22.. i get around it that way
[21:34] <pipcoke> Can anyone hear my musik?
[21:34] <joanki> bastid_raZor, i have no idea how to do that
[21:34] <bastid_raZor> joanki; then when you scp use this  scp -P2222 file user@host:~/
[21:34] <w0nder> how do I enable wifi on my hp dv5215? The wifi button doesn't work
[21:35] <atonalpanic> indyfunfreak: my sound doesn't work any longer due to ALSA update
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> joanki; okay then.. look up the info for port forwards for your router.
[21:35] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; right click on volume control, click on preferences. A new window should pop up that tells you the "input device" (usually ALSA mixer) and then various parts to select which device you want the volume control to manage
[21:35] <ere4si> !wireless | w0nder
[21:35] <ubotu> w0nder: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:35] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: whats your sound device?
[21:35] <joanki> thanks bastid_raZor for your help
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> joanki; google is your friend
[21:35] <joanki> so are you ;) hehe kidding
[21:35] <joanki> thanks again
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> joanki; good luck :)
[21:36] <atonalpanic> IndyGunFreak: I think its a built in intel sound card.  whats the command to retrieve that info?
[21:36] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: lspci
[21:36] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 sure...  master pcm mic bypass capture
[21:36] <gnychis> does anyone know how to add nm-applet back to a panel? where you can see all of your wireless networks around you and select which to connect to?
[21:36] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: a failure after update sounds hauntingly familiar
[21:36] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; I typed in "sudo chown -R cody (my user name) /mnt/mountpoint/* and it said "chown: cannot access /mnt/mountpoint/: no such file or directory
[21:36] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: i had a lot of problems myself
[21:37] <pipcoke> Can anyone hear my musik?
[21:37] <favoritefood0> almostdvs; just click through those and adjust the volume until you have it
[21:37] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, you need to replace /mnt/mountpoint with your mount point
[21:37] <brobostigon> pipcoke: why??
[21:37] <pipcoke> just asking
[21:37] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, the location you used when mounting the drive
[21:37] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Oooh, sorry, my bad!
[21:37] <ere4si> pipcoke, nope
[21:37] <atonalpanic> IndyGunFreak: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

[21:37] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: soundblaster and nvidia are known to be open source unfriendly, and i can say i had problems making my graphics card and soundcard to work decently
[21:37] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: Make sure that roaming mode is selected. Go to >system >admin >network, click properties on your wireless, and confirm its roaming.
[21:37] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser %U might work from the command line
[21:38] <almostdvs> favoritefood0 clicking them doesnt do anything
[21:38] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: its funny how a sound problem broke the os.
[21:38] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; do I put anything in for %u?
[21:38] <Carbonflux> no
[21:38] <Holmes89> Can anyone help me with an FTP server question?
[21:38] <Carbonflux> you can remove it in fact
[21:38] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: what model is your pc/laptop?
[21:38] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser should work
[21:38] <pretender_> Ubuntu 7.10 X wont detect new monitor.  Help
[21:38] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: to make hardware work in linux is one of the hardest thing to me
[21:38] <gnychis> ArthurArchnix: roaming is enabled, but whenever i add "network monitor" to my panel it only shows me ath0 stats and not the list of wireless networks
[21:39] <incorrect_> hello, i am trying to figure out why i get this message when trying to up eth0:1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
[21:39] <Carbonflux> pretender_, monitor detection through the GUI is bugged right now
[21:39] <Holmes89> I have an ftp server set up, I just need to know how I can direct everyone to the same folder to share files?
[21:39] <atonalpanic> IndyGunFreak: Toshiba Satellite A205 - S5823
[21:39] <ArthurArchnix> so you see the nm-applet, it's just not showing you the info you want? Perhaps it's considering your wired connection default. Is it plugged in right now?
[21:39] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis:
[21:39] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: maybe you should go to the soundcards homepage and read up on linux compability and drivers
[21:39] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: im starting to see that.  Everything else is great I love it...well except for my wireless artheros but thats for another day
[21:40] <fx|RabBit> 'evening all
[21:40] <Carbonflux> pretender_, you need to either edit your xorg.conf file by hand, use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or use sudo nvidia-settings
[21:40] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: have you tried recompiling alsa?
[21:40] <pretender_> how can i get X to detect a new wide screen monitor that i have just connected
[21:40] <pipcoke> ubuntu 7.04 works perfectly
[21:40] <Carbonflux> this monitor detect issue is a well know bug, is there a factoid for it ?
[21:40] <pretender_> thanks
[21:40] <IndyGunFreak> atonalpanic: good news is, i downloaded Hardy yesterday, and this Intel HDA mess is fixed in it.
[21:40] <gnychis> ArthurArchnix: no wired connection plugged in, it shows me ath0 stats which is my wireless, but it used to show a little signal bar that i could click on and select a wireless network
[21:40] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, It said something like "%u doesn't exist" and opened up a root folder with "desktop" in it, my terminal said "initializing gnome-mount extension" "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[21:40] <aghachi> indygunfreak right now i have my second monitor disabled... and my 1st screnn is normal and i can enable effects, but when i throw in the 2nd monitor is when it does that scrolly stuff. so is there a way for me to edit stuff or no becuase the driver is restricted.
[21:40] <atonalpanic> IndyGunFreak: I'll that but I know its at least somewhat compatible, it work before
[21:40] <_Oz_> should it take me 15 minutes to copy a 2.5gb file from one computer to another on a wired 100mbit network?
[21:40] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: Ok. Well, if you right click on it are both networking and wireless checked?
[21:41] <atonalpanic> IndyGunFreak: oops sorry, that was meant for bo^dick
[21:41] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: definitely
[21:41] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, I also still can't mount/unmount from the GUI
[21:41] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: how are you disabling the other monitor?
[21:41] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: so that's not too long? my network's not "slow"?
[21:41] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: what soundcard do you have?
[21:41] <gnychis> ArthurArchnix: i don't get those options when i right click, i get "Properties, Help, About ... etc"
[21:41] <pipcoke> Go Pakistan
[21:41] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I think if you understood the issues a bit better you could. :)
[21:41]  * _Oz_ is frustrated by the low speed of networks in general
[21:42] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: it is a bit slow but not out of the normal
[21:42] <aghachi> in the screen and graphics menu
[21:42] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; No doubt
[21:42] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, did the chown command do anything ?
[21:42] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: are yo on a live CD now, or still using 64bit?
[21:42] <pipcoke> cod?
[21:42] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; I don't remember, but i'll try again
[21:42] <Holmes89> can anyone help me with vsftpd?
[21:42] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: intel HD audio controller
[21:42] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: whats the infrastructure of your network?
[21:42] <aghachi> o im still on 64bit... :/
[21:42] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: I think I understand what's going on. I think you have the wrong network applet in there. Gnome has one too, called network something, so it's confusing.
[21:42] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: is there a new higher-speed protocol in the works? if I wanted a "fast" network, how would I get one?
[21:42] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: a few PCs...  netgear router...  cable modem
[21:42] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: Remove it. Then make sure you have a notification area.
[21:43] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: well, you can try installing nvidia-settings (sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings), then run it and set up your screens that way,t hst how i always do it
[21:43] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: clearly the netgear router its not built for that
[21:43] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, the problem seems to be that you set up the drives with a old user account and when you reinstalled you are now using a different account so all the permissions are different
[21:43] <ieroglif> hi all
[21:43] <gnychis> ArthurArchnix: perfect! thank you!
[21:43] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: how's that?
[21:43] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: No worries.
[21:43] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: cuz again, compiz works fine for me.
[21:43] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: it's a wireless + wired network router
[21:43] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, so is there like a file I can just pull up to modify my permissions? Or no luck there? :P
[21:43] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: if you want to speed up you net a switch and of course gigabit lan dies a great job...
[21:43] <ieroglif> does anybody installed Sun ONE ASP ?
[21:43] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: onboard audio that is
[21:43] <atonalpanic> yea
[21:43] <_Oz_> the router is slowing me down?
[21:43] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: router!=switch
[21:44] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: what does the switch do for me?
[21:44] <pipcoke> What is Linus Pauling
[21:44] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, its linux, each file has its own permissions
[21:44] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: what bitdepth and samplerate capabilities?
[21:44] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: well its an educated, yes
[21:44] <ArthurArchnix> gnychis: It's easy to mess up the gnome panel. My girlfriend does all the time. That's why when I get it setup the way I like it, I lock it down. So that only I can change it.
[21:44] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, what is the name of the mount point for the drive ?
[21:44] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: what's the difference between a router and a switch?
[21:44] <linuxgoober> could someone help me set up tftpd-hpa for pxe
[21:44] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: I would love to tell, but how do i find out?
[21:44] <ere4si> _Oz_, I copy a 700mb file from my server to a usb stick connected to my main pc in 1min20sec with 10/100
[21:44] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: basically a switch is used to connect a network internally
[21:45] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; One of my partitions mounts to /media/sda1 another partition on that disk mounts to /media/sda2 Do I want to do this at Disk or Volume level?
[21:45] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: have you read this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[21:45] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: as a difference to a router that is used to route to the outworld as the name mimplies
[21:45] <_Oz_> ere4si: that seems faster than me
[21:45] <pipcoke> my neice is 14 she has been on computer since she was 3 she can screw up my computer anyway she likes
[21:45] <ere4si> _Oz_, that's through a netgear router
[21:45] <fx|RabBit> uhuh..
[21:45] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: so what would I buy and how would I deploy it in my home network?  I have 4 desktops PCs and 2 laptops (wireless)
[21:46] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Also, chown didn't do a thing
[21:46] <fx|RabBit> well in that case you need at least a 7 port switch
[21:46] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, ok so you would do: sudo chown -R <username> /media/sda1/*
[21:46] <ere4si> _Oz_, is it wireless you're doing that with?
[21:46] <genii> linuxgoober: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install IS FAIRLY COMPREHENSIVE
[21:46] <pipcoke> chmod
[21:46] <_Oz_> ere4si: no
[21:46] <genii> bah, capslock
[21:46] <ere4si> k
[21:46] <fx|RabBit> _Oz_: best switchhub if cou can afford:)
[21:46] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux, do I need to do the <> or just put in "cody" for my username?
[21:47] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, say your username is food, it would be: sudo chown -R food /media/sda1/*
[21:47] <Name> I have an external hardrive, but it wont mount, i tried using the command that is in the error window but it just gave me the help stuff... can anyone help?
[21:47] <aghachi> indygunfreak; i think i found my problem... maybe my primary monitor doesn't support 60hz for refresh rate because when i disable the 2nd monitor, the refresh rate goes to 50hz.. nothing else can be selected, but when i bring in my 2nd monitor it goes to 60hz with nothing being able to be selected, do i have to run both monitors at same refresh rates? this is why i think it zooms in...
[21:47] <eegore> is there a package out there I can use to manage my business?
[21:48] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: I never had any of those problems listed for toshiba.
[21:48] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: now hat i don't know.. not sure on that... i would imagine yes.
[21:48] <aghachi> indygunfreak: is there a file i can edit to test 2 different refresh rates?
[21:48] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; When I run in terminal, it just drops down to a new line, but doesn't put in my user or anything so I can run a new command, then a few seconds later my name pops back up (in this case cody@cody) and nothing happens
[21:49] <linuxgoober> could someone help me set up tftpd-hpa for pxe
[21:49] <Carbonflux> something happened
[21:49] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: probably xorg.conf, but i'm not sure how you'd go about that... did you try installing nvidia-settings?
[21:49] <atonalpanic> bo^dick:  like i said, it worked before perfectly.  I tried to update ALSA because sound was comming out of both the headphones and the speakers...then my OS crashed.  I reinstalled and here I am with no sound lol
[21:49] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Nothing shows up in the terminal...
[21:49] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Do I want to do it to the DRIVE?
[21:49] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; or the partition on that drive?
[21:49] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: I've done a few things to try to get it back to the original configuration but everything I read doesn't work for me
[21:49] <Slart> eegore: manage your business? supply chain software? stock management software? bonds and other finance software? programming software?
[21:50] <aghachi> indygunfreak: nvidia settings no... how do i do that i have the drivers slected from the settings tho but not a settings seprate for nvidia
[21:50] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I can't see what you are doing really, these are basic unix/linux commands tho
[21:50] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[21:50] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: just installs everything from scratch then
[21:50] <atonalpanic> Specificaly the error im getting is "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[21:50] <eegore> Slart: basic repair and sales software
[21:50] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; That is for my NTFS file systems (which, thanks to NTFSG, I have R/W privilages), but when I try it on my partitions, it says "chown: cannot access '/media/sdb2/*': No such file or directory"
[21:50] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; So should I run this command on my drive instead of partition?
[21:51] <aghachi> 0o0o cool
[21:51] <Carbonflux> not on a NTFS drive no
[21:51] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty?
[21:51] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: are these file systems mounted?
[21:51] <mortal1> ~paste
[21:51] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: the only problem with that is I will need to get my speakers/headphone fix
[21:51] <aghachi> some real action in the termnal
[21:51] <Slart> eegore: not that I know of... but much in that category runs off a webserver anyway.. so it shouldn't be dependant on what os you run
[21:51] <Carbonflux> NTFS drives don't have permissions iirc
[21:51] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Yes. I'm guessing this ruins the CHOWN command?
[21:51] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly?
[21:51] <atonalpanic> bo^dick: which will cause my to try to update it again...big vicious cylce lol

[21:51] <aghachi> indygunfreak: where do i acess the settings now
[21:51] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: open a terminal, gksudo nvidia-settings
[21:51] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: oh
[21:51] <favoritefood0> Carbonflux; Whenever I try to unmount my NTFS drives via GUI, it says "Only root has permission to unmount <drive uuid>
[21:52] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: type this and paste output here::   grep ntfs /etc/fstab
[21:52] <eegore> Slart: so i need a sql db and a server to acces it?
[21:52] <NetEcho> Carbonflux they do have permissions just not linux permissions
[21:52] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: so it wants to update in order to get all features working correctly
[21:52] <aghachi> indygunfreak: wher do u learn all these commmands lol... where can i learn?
[21:52] <Bo^Dick> atonalpanic: with the consequense that it stalls
[21:52] <NetEcho> favoritefood0 try putting sudo before the command ie  sudo mount args
[21:52] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Would I substitute xfs for NTFS?
[21:52] <Squawk> favoritefood0, with gui you are using normal user permissions, try sudo umount /media/dir

[21:54] <favoritefood0> "This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config" then it lists the mount point and UUID of my NTFS partitions
[21:54] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I think you might need to study a bit more about the linux command line and mounting, permissions and sudo and stuff, there are ways you can fix that, you can modify the sudoers file to give yourself permissions to mount and unmount via the gui or you can prefex the gui command with gksu on the launcher properties
[21:54] <atonalpanic> I wouldn't think it would be that hard to fix a broken driver or what ever is wrong.  probably one line someone was erase and I just need to type it back.  I just don't know where
[21:54] <Slart> eegore: unless you want to write your software yourself you won't have to..
[21:54] <Squawk> depinko, how are you making the sym links, because that shouldnt happen
[21:54] <tanath> how do i draw an ellipse in gimp?
[21:54] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: paste the relevant lines here for your ntfs partition
[21:54] <aghachi> indygunfreak: cool! ok so how do i reset x server?
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: did you apply the changes?
[21:54] <mortal1> I just tried to burn a cd in ubuntu, but it failed.  I dunno why...
[21:54] <tanath> such a simple thing. why must it be difficult
[21:54] <depinko> Squawk: ln -s /dir linkdir
[21:55] <mortal1> ouput http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57878/
[21:55] <IndyGunFreak> and save them?
[21:55] <mortal1> googled but I didn't see any solutions
[21:55] <aghachi> indygunfreak: it says i need to restart xserver yea i did save
[21:55] <tanath> anyone know how to draw a simple ellipse in gimp?
[21:55] <tweekster> is it legit to repartition a system, basically I just want to make /home a lot smaller than it is (it is 99.99999% empty) this is a brand new install. can i just repartition it and go?
[21:55] <depinko> Squawk: it happens only in winscp as I see now, in mc it works normally
[21:55] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; UUID=2AECA53FECA5066 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults
[21:55] <Squawk> depinko, never seen that behaviour before, though youmight be making links with some funcy softare
[21:55] <ere4si> mortal1, can you run the md5 check on the iso?
[21:55] <Squawk> depinko, not copying links propelry?
[21:55] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok now type literally and paste here::  echo $UID
[21:56] <tanath> i can get it to select an elliptical area, but i just want to draw one
[21:56] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: control alt backpace will restart x, but save anything you're working on
[21:56] <aghachi> indygunfreak: should i log out and log back in?
[21:56] <depinko> Squawk: how you think - not copying properly?
[21:56] <IndyGunFreak> see above
[21:56] <DanceAddict>  Hi there, does anyone know how to connect a Epsom projector to a Linux 7.10 IBM laptop computer???
[21:56] <ArthurArchnix> Once you select the elipse, you can draw from path, tanath
[21:56] <favoritefood0> echo $UID
[21:56] <tanath> ArthurArchnix, how's that work?
[21:56] <DrX> Synaptic package manager is no longer on System-Administration at 7.04 -- how do you start it?
[21:56] <Squawk> depinko, sym links often break when copied, but there are options to preserve links to scp or cp, man cp and man scp to figure out what they are
[21:56] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: in a terminal ... and paste the output here :)
[21:56] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly?

[21:56] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; When I type echo $uid I get "1000" and I knew in the terminal, I accidentally did it here
[21:57] <Slart> tanath: it wasn't so hard... make the selection into a path.. then stroke the path
[21:57] <thannoy> DanceAddict: have you tried lowering your screen resolution if higher than 1024×780?
[21:57] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok good now type this:::   gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[21:57] <tanath> Slart, how do i do that?
[21:57] <DanceAddict> thannoy: yes I have but no diff
[21:57] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Okay, now what?
[21:58] <Squawk> favoritefood0, $UID is your personal user id, ie the user id of the user issuing the "echo" command, it has no relevance to directories
[21:58] <Slart> tanath: but I would say Gimp is more suited for photo editing.. there are other tools available for drawing stuff.. inkscape and krita comes to mind
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: any joy?
[21:58] <elonole> best im for ubuntu? tell me because i can get mercury to work
[21:58] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: it should open a window with the fstab file that we're about to edit.  what are the permissions you want to set?
[21:58] <Gibb> Im about to uninstall fglrx for ATI and try to install the ati driver - what files should I backup before I take this plunge? I want to be able to restore from an emergency prompt if I have to
[21:58] <DanceAddict> ere4si: I am trying to project not print :o)
[21:58] <tanath> Slart, will they also take screenshots?
[21:58] <ere4si> k
[21:58] <aghachi> indygunfreak: yes i see the 60hz for second monitor so imma do 1 more restart is should wrok
[21:58] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want ability to read/write for my XFS, and mount/unmount for my all my drives
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: ok..
[21:58] <mortal1> ere4si: I don't believe it's the iso...
[21:58] <thannoy> DanceAddict: Are you sue of the Fn+F7 key?  For example it is Fn+F5 on my computer
[21:59] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: do you care if other users can write to the partition or do you want just yourself?
[21:59] <mouseboyx> if I bought a domain from godaddy how to assign the ip to the domain?
[21:59] <Slart> tanath: I won't tell you the specifics.. this is an ubuntu help channel.. but you make an elliptical selection, transform it to a path and stroke the path..
[21:59] <dan> DrX: open a termininal and "sudo synaptic"
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, regardless, i do like gimp. it generally suits my needs, i just have no idea how to do a couple basic things, like draw a freaking shape
[21:59] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I'm the only one that uses this computer (it's my own), so it doesn't matter
[21:59] <ere4si> mortal1, sorry - but that's the limit of my knowledge about that sort of thing
[21:59] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok here comes the replacement line ...
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, what do you mean stroke the path?
[21:59] <speeddemon8803> mouseboyx, you would have to check in with the domain provider, as they are all wickedly different.
[21:59] <ArthurArchnix> tanath: Ok... open up a new image.
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, and why the hell not?
[22:00] <Slart> tanath: in Edit.. Stroke path
[22:00] <DanceAddict> thannoy: yes im sure its the fn + f7 key as I havce tried all other keys !! :o)
[22:00] <mouseboyx> what are nameservers for speeddemon8803
[22:00] <DrX> dan:  thanx!  how do i get it back on the menu?  indeed, how do i get all my missing friends back?
[22:00] <prince_jammys> UUID=2AECA53FECA5066 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007  0   0
[22:00] <speeddemon8803> nameservers are the things you need to change if you want the domain to point to your ip address.
[22:00] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Replace my entire ntfs line for that partition with that?
[22:01] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: you can save your old line if you want by typing # at the beginning of your existing line (it will then be ignored)
[22:01] <tanath> Slart, gotta get the path first :/
[22:01] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; do all the other ones follow the same pattern?
[22:01] <depinko> Squawk:  hmm okay, I look around
[22:01] <dan> DrX: Gnome?
[22:01] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok to make clear:: at the very beginning of the existing line type the character #   . then add the new line under it
[22:01] <gnychis> how do i add a hard disk to always mount on boot and mount at /media/500gb?  Is the easiest way editing /etc/fstab or is there an easier way in gnome?
[22:01] <tanath> ArthurArchnix, well it is a new image, from screenshot
[22:01] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I got that bit :P
[22:01] <speeddemon8803> im sorry im not following syntax in here, ill start now :P
[22:01] <DrX> dan: y
[22:02] <ArthurArchnix> ok fine, draw a circle using the elipse selection tool
[22:02] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I've done some gedit editing
[22:02] <ere4si> gnychis, /etc/fstab for mounting at boot
[22:02] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: once you have done that, save and close
[22:02] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: :)
[22:02] <Slart> tanath: http://gug.sunsite.dk/docs/Grokking-the-GIMP-v1.0    good reading material
[22:02] <Name> I am trying to mount an external hardrive but when i do an error message pops up with a big spiel on what the problem is and it offers a few solutions, ive tried both and they both say "sdb1 does not exist" or something. i am fairly new to ubuntu, can anyone help?
[22:02] <tanath> Slart, ah, found it. thanks
[22:02] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Alright, and now I should have R/W and UM/M?
[22:02] <dan> DrX: try R click and look into your options...
[22:03] <tanath> Slart, except that it drew white for some reason
[22:03] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: we can test it.  first, exit any filebrowsers that are browsing that partition
[22:03] <speeddemon8803> mouseboyx, are you understanding everything ok? do i need to explain differently buddy?
[22:03] <ArthurArchnix> tanath: No need to make it a path. Make it a path only if you want to resize it... or edit the shape. If you're happy with your selection, just say >edit >stroke selection
[22:03] <Blissex> Name: Probably the disk is unpartitioned, or else the disk does not have enough power.
[22:03] <pike_> Name: unplug/replug the drive then in a terminal type dmesg | tail  you should then see a sdb1 or sdc1 or sdc2 or something
[22:03] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; exited
[22:03] <dan> DrX: im not running Gnome right now, I was playing with that yesterday, but thats a whole day ago  :o)
[22:03] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: then::   sudo umount /media/sda1
[22:03] <aghachi> err no luck what was the nvidia settings again i need 50hz not 60 hz :P
[22:03] <Name> Pike: ill try
[22:03] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys;kk, I was just going to ask that
[22:04] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: followed by sudo mount /media/sda1
[22:04] <Name> Blissex: not enough pwer?
[22:04] <NetEcho> heh dell has some decently priced Ubuntu computers
[22:04] <Slart> tanath: and your currently selected color is? (I'm guessing white)
[22:04] <globe> Can anybody give me some hints as to how to recover un-finalized data from a DVD-RW?  dd returns nothing
[22:04] <aghachi> indygunfreak: err no luck what was the nvidia settings again i need 50hz not 60 hz :P
[22:04] <Blissex> Name: lots of USB boxes do not supply enough power to their disks. So parts of it sometimes work.
[22:04] <elonole> does anyone know an alternate to pidgin?
[22:04] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: where are you setting these settings?... in screens, or in nvidia-settings
[22:04] <ArthurArchnix> elonole: What did you use pidgin for and what do you want the alternate to do?
[22:04] <mouseboyx> I just want to know how to make it so that I can enter in an ip so that my domain will work, currently, phpmouse.com does nothing, I need to make it point to my IP, with godaddy.
[22:04] <aghachi> indygunfreak: my right now?
[22:04] <pier357_> excused as he is the commando who to see the hd mounts to you? or
[22:04] <pier357_> however it connects to you
[22:05] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: yes, where do you set the hz settings..
[22:05] <Indiadev_Techie> elonole: for linux ???
[22:05] <tanath> Slart, fg was black, bg/erase was white. had to flip them
[22:05] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I typed the mount, and it said "failed to access '/ev/disk/by-uuid/2aeca53feca5066': No such file or directory"
[22:05] <Slart> elonole: there's amsn.. pidgin.. and a kde variant I can't remember the name of =)
[22:05] <elonole> better graphics with what the pidgin does

[22:05] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: something is wrong in fstab - would you mind pasting the entire contents in the pastebin?
[22:05] <speeddemon8803> mouseboyx, you will have to check out the help section of godaddy, as i really dont remember off the top of my head where everythings at, i used to have a godaddy hosted domain but i forgot :)

[22:06] <Slart> keithclark: sounds like a very unix setup... you should be able to use X-windows for that.. I think that's what it's good at in the first place.. network transparenct etc
[22:06] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: oh ok.

[22:09] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: i guess you can try reinstalling it, but stop messing with screens in the system menu, just use nvidia-settings tos et hz, etc.
[22:09] <Slart> jk_: we didn't force you to install ubuntu.. so no use crying about it here
[22:09] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; How do I change the mount point though?

[22:09] <jk_> i cant get windows back and this os sucks so much now i need to get a new tower
[22:09] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: you need to make a new empty directory somewhere, and replace the /media/sda1 with the full path of this new directory
[22:09] <xiix> thanks : i have 2 pcs on 4 port adsl router using ubuntu 7.10 - can i connect via lan to the other computer?

[22:10] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; So I can't change the mount point of that partition on my computer?
[22:10] <jk_> what refund?
[22:10] <Slart> Stylee: hm.. I'm googling for it now.. let's see what is out there
[22:10] <speeddemon8803> jk_, whining gets us nowhere in here. :)
[22:10] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: here's an example:: in a terminal::  mkdir /media/windows
[22:10] <Squawk> jk_, the point being, its free
[22:10] <xiix> ? how can i share files?
[22:10] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: makes the directory, and then in fstab you replace /media/sda1 with /media/windows
[22:10] <Squawk> jk_, if you think its crap, g find an alternative
[22:10] <binaries-AP1> xiix: there has to be some form of hard ware inbetween that acts as a transmitter
[22:10] <jk_> i no its free man but still man make it look a little better
[22:10] <aghachi> indygunfreak: wtf lol theres no settings to change now aaah
[22:11] <Squawk> jk_, look? err, change it?
[22:11] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: i forgot ... you have to use sudo to make the directory
[22:11] <binaries-AP1> xiix: like a router
[22:11] <Name> look better? i suppose you havent got compiz working then?
[22:11] <ArthurArchnix> jk_: Do you have a question? If not please take complaints to #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:11] <krammer> is it safe to run fsck?
[22:11] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: you'ev done something i can't figure out... why were you changing screens anyways?.. thast what nvidia-settings is fr.
[22:11] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; so I just do this on that drive, then have the computer mount the folder?
[22:11] <xiix> theyre pluged into a 4 port adsl router, will that not work?
[22:11] <Squawk> krammer, umount the drive before runnig it, but yes
[22:11] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: fstab will mount it to wherever you say, provided the directory exists
[22:12] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: i can do it with you now if you want
[22:12] <jk_> can u help me get msn cuz i really need it bad becaues pidgin doesnt support camera?
[22:12] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly?
[22:12] <krammer> I just want to see if there are any problems and How do un?mount the drive
[22:12] <brobostigon> jk_: amsn does webcam
[22:12] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Can I have it use a shortcut to mount? The thing is is that two of my drives also share data with windows, and I need to access some of the data on those drives....
[22:12] <aghachi> indygunfreak, im trying to setup dual monitors, but when i do its gets scrolly, and i think its due to the first monitor cannot handle the second monitors refresh rate so i wanted to override the settigns to see if that works if not just go to normal and forget about it
[22:12] <Stylee> thanks Star
[22:12] <binaries-AP1> xiix: which distro are you running ?
[22:13] <jk_> i tryed to install amsn but when i open it nothing happens i dont know like what to click

[22:13] <binaries-AP1> xiix: your online so the problem is probably that your folders havnt been given to the shared foled
[22:13] <Slart> Stylee: are you sure the game is really running in fullscreen? I read someplace that it only uses a maximized window
[22:13] <brobostigon> jk_: run amsn from cli, it will then show any errors when it runs in that terminal
[22:14] <joanki> if i am looking for a phrase inside any file, what command do i type in terminal?

[22:14] <PriceChild> xiix: system > admin > shared folders
[22:14] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want to completely change the current mount point

[22:16] <Zayne> Good afternoon! I'm considering installing Ubuntu, running off LiveCD right now, but unsure if my graphic card is fully supported. I was hoping for some advice..
[22:16] <jk_> i know it uses pidgin but pidgin dont support webcam =(
[22:16] <brobostigon> bladezor: pidgin does msn
[22:16] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want the actual mount point to be "Disk C"
[22:16] <bladezor> brobostigon, that's what I meant
[22:16] <prince_jammys> Name: there's a space in  your file name!!!
[22:16] <Squawk> Name, then you typed something wrong in the rest of the command, CAn you paste it exactly as you wrote it pls
[22:16] <binaries-AP1> xiix> like windoze > linux?
[22:16] <prince_jammys> !filenames | Name
[22:16] <ubotu> Name: File names in Ubuntu are case sensitive, MyFile is not the same as myfile, and if you put spaces in there and use a console you need to "escape" the space, thus "gedit My\ File.txt"
[22:16] <bladezor> Does anyone have any experience with configuring multi-seat systems with Ubuntu? By multi-seat I mean being able to use two keyboards and mouse one computer with dual monitors running separate X servers.

[22:17] <thannoy> Name: * sudo mount...
[22:17] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok conventionally this would still go in /media  (ie /media/Disk_C ) do you mind that?
[22:17] <Slart> Stylee: hmm.. not to be nasty here.. but you did uncheck the "fullscreen" option in the configuration menu? under video?
[22:17] <jk_> can u configure the ubuntu firewall?
[22:17] <brobostigon> jk_: http://www.amsn-project.net/
[22:17] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: avoid spaces in names, like a plague
[22:17] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Nope. Just something other then "sda1"
[22:17] <Slart> jk_: yes.. it's called iptables
[22:18] <globe> Can anybody give me some hints as to how to recover un-finalized data from a DVD-RW?  dd returns nothing

[22:18] <Name> thannoy: "mount: can't find /dev/sdb1/media/My Book in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[22:18] <Name> "
[22:19] <Slart> Zayne: nope..
[22:19] <Stylee> Start the problem is that I can't see it, as it hide in the corner, I see just a small piece... I guess I will try to find the cfg or something

[22:21] <binaries-AP1> xiix: are you using the router right now ?
[22:21] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: correct.  you will do  sudo umount /media/sda1 followed by sudo mount /media/drive_c

[22:22] <Cew27> prince_jammys: hey dont suppose you can help me can you
[22:22] <binaries-AP1> xiix: check to see that your firewall does not conflict your settings ( if you have one

[22:22] <mneptok> answer: 42
[22:22] <prince_jammys> Cew27: sorry that's a new one for me
[22:22] <Slart> neeto: there are some keymap options in System, Preferences, Keyboard. See if you find anything useful there
[22:22] <pange1> sorry to ask again: what does "profiling your boot" means when you've already used bootchart and bootlog?

[22:23] <Squawk> Name, two points. First, mv "My Book" to "My_book". then you need a space after 3g and after sdb1. And finaly, you need to start the command with sudo
[22:23] <ere4si> neeto: edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or open the control center - select keyboard - default
[22:23] <neeto> ere4si:  thanks

[22:23] <xiix> i dont have a firewall running
[22:23] <Slart> pange1: I think I read about a profiling option for the boot process somewhere.. might have been a grub option.. can't really remember

[22:35] <levander> I'm having to use Windows drivers and ndiswrapper for my video card.  Should I use the XP or Vista drivers for it?
[22:36] <Photocopy> ere4si http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57887/
[22:36] <CorruptTerrorist> Name, W-H-Y did you make the bot send me a second antivirus message?
[22:36] <Flare183> levander: xp
[22:36] <ere4si> k
[22:36] <nickrud> levander: you need the msdos driver with ndiswrapper and video
[22:36] <cambazz> Slart: it wont give me any errors from the terminal
[22:36] <levander> Flare183: thanks
[22:36] <Slart> kraypius: nah.. not normally.. unless you want to do something weird for a LAN or so.. a normal webserver doesn't have to mess with bind (DNS server)
[22:36] <Flare183> levander: no problem
[22:36] <Flare183> nickrud: i used Xp Drivers and they worked fine
[22:36] <cambazz> Start: it makes as if playing
[22:36] <Corty> Is there any way i can force the system tray to always show up two lines using kde?
[22:36] <cambazz> i guess it might be a codec
[22:36] <nickrud> Flare183: video and ndiswrapper?

[22:36] <CorruptTerrorist> oh ok
[22:36] <LjL-Temp> CorruptTerrorist, why did you send a message to yourself to begin with?
[22:36] <Slart> cambazz: then see if you can make it print out debug messages.. a --verbose switch perhaps.. or --debug
[22:37] <jk_> can anyopne help me download frostwire or limewire?
[22:37] <Flare183> nickrud: nope not that way but with hold up
[22:37] <Photocopy> Corty: Try #kubuntu... I know its annoying to hear this
[22:37] <Flare183> !limewire | jk_
[22:37] <ubotu> jk_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.
[22:37] <PriceChild> jk_: sudo apt-get install frostwire
[22:37] <CorruptTerrorist> LjL-Temp, i wanted to read that information
[22:37] <Corty> Photocopy, Of course ;)
[22:37] <KyleSloderbeck> Hey there, I've checked the forums and I have an error I cannot seem to find.
[22:37] <nickrud> Flare183: I was being sarcastic, video doesn't use ndiswrapper
[22:37] <LjL-Temp> !msgthebot > CorruptTerrorist
[22:37] <Zyferian> Limewire is illegal for music downloading, for the record.
[22:37] <Flare183> nickrud: yeah that's what I'm saying
[22:37] <Photocopy> ere4si anything?
[22:37] <cambazz> Slart: well it says plaing stream
[22:37] <Slart> Zyferian: that would depend on what music you download.. or?
[22:37] <Squawk> !ask | KyleSloderbeck
[22:37] <Flare183> levander: you can't do that ndiswrapper is for wireless stuff
[22:37] <ubotu> KyleSloderbeck: 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. :-)

[22:42] <CorruptTerrorist> each time i put my computer into suspend, it just turns off!!! how do i sort this out?
[22:42] <Flare183> You mean what is
[22:42] <Xintruder> Guys believe this or not, but ubuntu w/lan card drivers gives me a longer range than window xp's, also xp d/c alot and linux never did sicne instalaltion, same location, exact same location.
[22:42] <jk_> i installed frostwire and its on applications>>internet but when i click it it dont open. whys that?
[22:43] <Xintruder> Is this possible or am I crazy
[22:43] <Flare183> CorruptTerrorist: you can't i don't think, It's your Power Supply
[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> Beric: Nevermind. You just need to add the right option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-conf in all liklihood. For me it was  options snd-hda-intel model=laptop  but that could seriously mess up your sound. You need to find the right line, like that, but for your audio card. Mine is, as you can see, an intel card.
[22:43] <ere4si> Photocopy, try in terminal   sudo chmod -v user:user ./"file" -

[22:44] <Odd-rationale> pak: Did you add yourself to the vbox users?

[22:45] <jk_> nickrud thank you
[22:45] <nickrud> pak: you need to log out completely for it to take effect
[22:45] <thannoy> CorruptTerrorist: You could try looking around "acpi", google it up. But As it was said before, it is not perfectly supported
[22:45] <pignu> hi - i have a question, is it safe to run higher resolution then your monitor support, like, my monitor says it support 1024 x 768 16,7 mil colors, 24 bit intern support... i'm on laptop and i think thats quite small, is it safe to increase the resolution you run?
[22:45] <gnychis> how do you get common icons on the desktop? like drives, trash, home directory... etc
[22:45] <hischild> pak, click on groups, scroll down to virtualbox, click properties, make sure that it's ticked next to yourname
[22:45] <CorruptTerrorist> thannoy, i don't think it acpi
[22:45] <ArthurArchnix> Beric: I've found people that say that line works for your card too. So, you can try it. Restart, see if it works. If it doesn'twork after restart, go back in that file and remove that line, restart, back to square one.
[22:45] <nickrud> pignu: no, you don't want to overdrive your monitor
[22:45] <jk_> is it possible to make the desktop look like a giant cube and make it move around?
[22:45] <hischild> jk_, it's called compiz-fusion
[22:45] <pignu> ok :(
[22:46] <chris0> pignu: you can, it just acts weird. your screen becomes like a little scrolly window, like the screen magnifier
[22:46] <nickrud> !compiz  > jk_
[22:46] <pike_> pignu: youll likely just get an 'out of range' error
[22:46] <pak> it wasn't ticked!

[22:46] <jk_> how do i make it?
[22:46] <ere4si> Photocopy, ok - your user has a group you need to find - open users and groups from system in the menu - and can you link me to the paste again?
[22:46] <pak> hischild - Thanks so much!!!!
[22:46] <pignu> well its possible but i notice it shimmer
[22:46] <hischild> pak, then tick it, click ok/apply
[22:46] <pignu> alittle more
[22:46] <hischild> pak, you're welcome

[22:46] <jk_> lol
[22:47] <SkinnYPuppY> pak I did this 30 minutes ago just what they said works perfect
[22:47] <pak> hischild - now log off? or just try virtual box again and pray it'll work?
[22:47] <Photocopy> ere4si: How do I know what group im in?
[22:47] <pak> Skinny - COOL !
[22:47] <hischild> pak, logout
[22:47] <hischild> pak, otherwise it won't recognize the new settings
[22:47] <binaries-AP1> pak: you could try using wine, it will deffinitly give you better run time
[22:47] <mthed> has anyone else had problems using compiz fusion. I have this problem where the top bar of the window (the one with close minimize window and so on) disappears.

[22:48] <ere4si> Photocopy, right click your user and select properties - might just be a left click
[22:48] <Photocopy> ere4si: This is a pretty bad mark against ubuntu... this big of a deal to run a script to run a freakin game.
[22:48] <binaries-AP1> pak: Wine Is not Emulator
[22:48] <Slart> pak: wine is different from virtual box
[22:48] <Odd-rationale> pak: depends. what windows programs you need to run...
[22:48] <jacobian__> X crashes every time I boot,  but if I do: sudo rmmod nvidia ; /etc/init.d gdm restart
[22:48] <jacobian__> then everything is grand
[22:48] <jacobian__> how can I get that not to happen?
[22:48] <jk_> how do i erase the passwrod from my pc ?
[22:48] <SkinnYPuppY> Virtual box method is easier
[22:48] <Photocopy> ere4si: Im in the ben group
[22:49] <Daisuke_Ido> jacobian__: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[22:49] <gnychis> how do you get common icons on the desktop? like drives, trash, home directory... etc
[22:49] <binaries-AP1> pak: wine contains the "translations" needed to run windows applications under a unix system
[22:49] <pignu> i'm not sure who to folllow tho, one suggest its not good to overdrive the monitor the other says its ok, it just acts weird :(
[22:49] <ere4si> Photocopy, that script says alot about arch - what do you need it for?
[22:49] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: It's been ages, I can't remember, this only started happening after an X update
[22:49] <two_bits> hello... I have a problem with playing videos sometimes
[22:49] <Photocopy> ere4si: executing it should make warsow run.
[22:49] <Odd-rationale> I noticed that running XP in vbox uses less memory resources than running ie6 under wine. I am really impressed with vbox!
[22:50] <two_bits> occasionally, my videos stop working and only show a green screen. The audio still works. I've tried different applications, but I have the same problems
[22:50] <binaries-AP1> pak: if your using 7.10 then wine from the add remove appshould work flawlessly
[22:50] <two_bits> i suspect gstreamer is the culprit
[22:50] <Photocopy> ere4si: A game i played when i had windows but then i found out the zip has linux files too
[22:50] <chris0> gnychis: to to the terminal and type gconf-editor. In there, you can tell it to display home/Computer/etc. on the Desktop
[22:50] <ere4si> Photocopy, if it wants to interact with the system and you own it that won't work - see if you can find out if it should be somewhere other than your /home folder
[22:50] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: the crash is from a complaint about incompatible version numbers
[22:50] <Viper111> guys i need help if u can help me
[22:50] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ :)
[22:50] <hischild> pignu, it depends on your monitor. In general, it's designed for a specific resolution. Going higher then that resolution is basically useless, it won't do you much good.

[22:50] <tinman> Hmm, my x server is still not working, i seem to have made other things work, but now the mouse dosent work
[22:51] <Flare183> oops
[22:51] <tinman> any ideas?
[22:51] <Photocopy> ere4si: How am i supposed to find that out? It came as a zip file. Where can I safely put it anyway?
[22:51] <speeddemon8803> Flare183, beat you to it :)
[22:51] <bluewraith> anyone know how to test if incoming port 80 is blocked by ISP? shieldsup reports all ports stealthed, even with router firewall off
[22:51] <Flare183> speeddemon8803: yeah
[22:51] <Viper111> i have ubuntu 5.04 i need to upgrade to the latst version what are the needed repositories to do that
[22:51] <tinman> I tries choosing psaux and PS/2 fo r mouse
[22:51] <tinman> didnt work
[22:51] <Slart> jk_: your ip is easy to get? how do you mean?
[22:51] <Flare183> !upgrade | Viper111
[22:51] <ubotu> Viper111: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:51] <chris0> gnychis: it's in apps>nautilus.desktop
[22:51] <Squawk> jpatrick, err, why did you just send me that?
[22:51] <Photocopy>  ere4si: I run GW in wine out of my home folder... I dont see how this could be different.
[22:51] <Viper111> i'll ytry thanks
[22:52] <jk_> like everytimne i go to a site or anything else they say my ip how cna i make it notvisible?
[22:52] <ere4si> Photocopy, there should be a forum/home page/wiki - it seems that it wants to acces your system and with you owning it it can't do that
[22:52] <gnychis> chris0: thanks!
[22:52] <jpatrick> Squawk: "we're getting a ton variations on this theme"
[22:52] <chris0> gnychis: no prob.
[22:52] <pak> So wine is better then virtual box right?
[22:52] <binaries-AP1> jk_ use tor (firefox addon)
[22:52] <pak> to run windows xp
[22:52] <Slart> jk_: *sob*... just don't worry about it.. please.. trust me.. you .. do.. not.. have .. to ... worry.. about.. it
[22:52] <Squawk> jk_, you cant make your ip invisible, otherwise how would they know hwere to send the data to
[22:52] <Flare183> pak: depends
[22:52] <bluewraith> jk_, Your IP is like your home address. Without it, you'd never get bills, or pizza, or visits from distant relatives.
[22:52] <ere4si> Photocopy, there you go - try the good folks at #winehq - I don't do wine
[22:52] <Photocopy> ere4si: They just include teh stuff, they dont have guides on running it in linux.. besides i figure it would have been the same as running a bat in winblows
[22:52] <Flare183> bluewraith: yeah really
[22:52] <Daisuke_Ido> Viper111: if you're still running 5.04, you may as well install 7.10 fresh
[22:53] <Flare183> bluewraith: hehe
[22:53] <pak> Flare - what is the benefit of either or?
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: Im not running warsow in wine
[22:53] <killown> I use the  show desktop function a lot  and everytime i use it, the screenlets minimize too. theres a way to keep them always in the desktop?
[22:53] <jk_> oh i thought they could hack me with knowing my ip
[22:53] <tinman> Anyone have any ideas to get my mouse working?
[22:53] <Squawk> jpatrick, you mean my submission? I just figured it fitted better than the "ask" output for a lot of situations
[22:53] <pak> i'm new at this but i do need windows so which is the best way to go?
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: so wine has nothing to do with this at all
[22:53] <ere4si> k
[22:53] <hischild> pak, wine is not a virtual machine like virtual box is. Vbox can run basically every app, where wine cannot. Wine can run games, where vbox is not that good. It depends on the apps you're trying to run. So enlighten us, what apps do you want to run?
[22:53] <Daisuke_Ido> because the upgrade process is going to be fraught with peril
[22:53] <tinman> jk_: depends..
[22:53] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: Do you imagine a reinstall of nvidia might be in order?
[22:53] <bluewraith> Flare183, Only one of those are welcome most of the time, though. :)
[22:53] <Squawk> jk_, every website you ever visit knows your ip (unless you connect through a proxy)
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: It has linux crap in there.
[22:53] <thannoy> bluewraith: your port 80 is open
[22:53] <Flare183> pak: ok if you are like playing games then wine, but for like big things that is different
[22:53] <pak> hischild - i would like to run office xp, vpn connection, basic office stuff
[22:53] <pak> using windows :)
[22:53] <Flare183> pak: like for example autodesk inventor
[22:53] <GirlConfused> Woa.. this is a huge room!!!!!
[22:54] <bluewraith> thannoy, thanks. were you able to connect to the apache server then?
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ has my problem on it.!!.

[22:54] <Flare183> GirlConfused: yeap
[22:54] <bluewraith> thannoy, blarg
[22:54] <GirlConfused> :)
[22:54] <Daisuke_Ido> jacobian__: possibly, but i don't know enough about the situation to know for sure
[22:54] <hischild> pak, why do you want m$ office when you got open office? and there are vpn solutions for linux ... but yeah, for that you need vbox ...
[22:54] <monte> xt hard drive (usb) 80 gib and it wont let me mount anyone kno why
[22:54] <jk_> now its saying package configuration what do i d?
[22:54] <pak> lol GirlConfused it is a HUGE room and FRIENDLY people
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> jk_ what version are you using of ubuntu?
[22:54] <GirlConfused> just installed Ubuntu...
[22:54] <GirlConfused> P:)
[22:54] <tanath> i seem to have a theme problem
[22:54] <Flare183> GirlConfused: and a huge community
[22:54] <jk_> im using 7.10
[22:54] <GirlConfused> that's rather rare..
[22:54] <GirlConfused> :)
[22:54] <hischild> GirlConfused, who are helpfull ;-)
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> Have you been to a website with flash?
[22:54] <GirlConfused> friendly is rare..
[22:54] <tanath> i changed to a dark theme and back, and now certain text is invisible (due to being white)
[22:54] <pak> hischild - I'm just more comfortable using office, i'm trying open office but it's still lacking things I'm used to in office.
[22:54] <jk_> i have
[22:54] <GirlConfused> very much so
[22:54] <tanath> i can't seem to change the colour
[22:55] <Flare183> GirlConfused: yeah well welcome to the world of Ubuntu
[22:55] <speeddemon8803> So..girlconfused, welcome to ubuntu, we are happy you decided to check us out :)
[22:55] <Photocopy> GirlConfused: Dont think thats entirely true, alot of people here have given me alot of ignorant crap.
[22:55] <pak> hischild - gona restart, hopefully i can install windows afterwards ;0
[22:55] <ere4si> Photocopy, you own it but are getting permission probs and it looks like it wants to access the system - that won't work - someone else may know a workaround but I'm at the limit of my knowledge now - sorry
[22:55] <binaries-AP1> Jk : there is a way to stay invisible,  ( your pc wont respond to pingings ) however these things are needed to compute. your computer also has a mac adress this does not change, however your network id (ip address) does change. it is assigned to you every time you connect to your router
[22:55] <Flare183> Photocopy: well we don't try to do that
[22:55] <jk_> but when i go to youtube the page starts going black and video goes really slow
[22:55] <tanath> can anyone help me fix this?
[22:55] <monte> i have an external hard drive (USB) 80 gig and it says it unable to mount anyone know why
[22:55] <Flare183> !anyone | tanath
[22:55] <ubotu> tanath: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[22:55] <Slart> Photocopy: nevermind me.. I'm the black sheep of the community
[22:55] <GirlConfused> Thank you! :) I am updating .. the beast..
[22:55] <Photocopy> ere4si: That sucks cause now ill have to go over all this first stuff all over again
[22:55] <tanath> Flare183, learn to read :P
[22:55] <Photocopy> not you slart
[22:55] <hischild> pak, i understand. I've heard about office running in wine, but it would be more usefull to run it in vbox in that case. Alongside your requirement for vpn, i suggest vbox
[22:55] <Flare183> tanath: not me
[22:56] <Beric> I wanted to edit, etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base , but it says I have no permission to save the edited file. How can I log in as root on Ubuntu?
[22:56] <tanath> Flare183, hm?
[22:56] <Flare183> !sudo | Beric
[22:56] <ubotu> Beric: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[22:56] <nickrud> lart slart
[22:56] <Slart> !root | Beric
[22:56] <ubotu> Beric: 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
[22:56] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ help would be gratly appreciated.
[22:56] <Flare183> @lart Slart
[22:56] <tanath> Flare183, you're the one who directed the 'anyone' thing at me
[22:56] <tinman> I was trying to fix x server after it suddenly stopped workig, i have finally fixed a few of the things but can't get the mouse to work, any ideas?
[22:56] <Slart> yea yea.. sticks and stones ... etc
[22:56] <Beric> Thanks all! :)
[22:56] <Flare183> tanath: oh yeah sorry wrong nick
[22:57] <Flare183> Beric: no problem
[22:57] <GirlConfused> Hopefully when the update is done you guys can help me get my Nvidia drivers up and happy
[22:57] <tanath> Flare183, you sure?
[22:57] <jk_> CAN ANYONE HELP ME INSTALL FROSTWIRE PROPERLY please
[22:57] <tinman> jk_: can you stop souting please?
[22:57] <Flare183> tanath: yeah really sorry about that
[22:57] <hischild> !shout | jk_
[22:57] <ubotu> jk_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[22:57] <Flare183> !caps | jk_
[22:57] <Slart> Beric: edit the file using "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" . That way the editor runs as root and can save the file
[22:57] <Photocopy> ere4si: Its in the repos, but its incredibly out of date version
[22:57] <monte> does anyone kno why an external hardrive will not mount
[22:57] <pak> windows is installing :0
[22:57] <hischild> GirlConfused, i'm fairly sure we can do that ...
[22:57] <jk_> it was caps sorry
[22:57] <hischild> pak, told you :-)
[22:57] <tanath> can anyone help me fix this font colour issue?
[22:57] <Slart> Beric: note.. gksu for gui apps.. sudo for command line stuff
[22:57] <GirlConfused> yay thanks Hischild
[22:58] <pak> hischild - you're great dude
[22:58] <GirlConfused> i will PM you in a while
[22:58] <KyleSloderbeck> My problems with synaptic package manager http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/.
[22:58] <Flare183> Beric: yeah and kdesu for kde programs
[22:58] <pak> quick question - i'm in windows setup and its asking to install on Unpartioned space 3481 mb
[22:58] <pak> is that right?
[22:58] <pak> or should a create a partition in the unpartioned space?
[22:58] <ere4si> Photocopy, may have found a helpful link - one min
[22:58] <hischild> pak, that was easy :-) considering it took me 10 hours and a dozen ppl here to get my pc up and running :p you're more then welcome
[22:58] <Slart> pak: windows setup?
[22:58] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: sudo apt-get -f install , if that doesn't fix it, put the complete output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[22:58] <pak> correct windows setup
[22:59] <pak> wow this is amazing , EVERYONE HERE IS HELPINGGGGG!!!! lol
[22:59] <Slart> pak: wubi? or are you installing windows?
[22:59] <Flare183> !wnidows | pak
[22:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wnidows - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:59] <tinman> pak: disdifragment you windows partition first, then make a partition then install
[22:59] <binaries-AP1> pak: that wouldnt be emulation now would it ?
[22:59] <pak> i'm installing windows
[22:59] <Flare183> !windows | pak
[22:59] <ubotu> pak: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents
[22:59] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin?
[22:59] <Photocopy> is there a such thing as a swap partition too big?
[22:59] <hischild> pak, you've created a virtual hard disk. you can just use any space it says it has as it doesn't affect yoru real hard disk
[22:59] <Flare183> Photocopy: maybe
[22:59] <pak> oh ok
[22:59] <PriceChild> Photocopy: if its so big that you've got no space for .
[22:59] <hischild> guys! he's using virtualbox for it ... ##windows wouldn't be much help in there
[22:59] <pak> so the disk its showing is the space i created right?
[22:59] <Photocopy> Flare183: How so?
[22:59] <PriceChild> Photocopy: gah, /
[22:59] <jk_> i dont got dualbot does that mena that windows xp is completely erased from my computer?
[22:59] <hischild> pak, correct
[22:59] <tinman> pak: you have ubuntu installed and are going to install iwndows?
[23:00] <Slart> Photocopy: I think so, yes.. I think I read something about a big swap making a mess somehow
[23:00] <tanath> this is really frustrating
[23:00] <hischild> tinman, no, only in vbox
[23:00] <tanath> i can't read certain text
[23:00] <tinman> ahh
[23:00] <Flare183> Photocopy: like if you make it too big i might just be too much swap space
[23:00] <pak> hischild - format the partition using NTFS, FAT? quick for both also? which one ?
[23:00] <Photocopy> Slart: Crap... Mines 7gb.
[23:00] <ele-mugv> hi all
[23:00] <Jowi> tanath, try log out and log in again
[23:00] <hischild> pak, quick for ntfs
[23:00] <pak> tinman - i'm trying to get use to ubuntu, have to take it slowly
[23:00] <pak> :)
[23:00] <tanath> Jowi, that's a thought
[23:00] <Slart> Photocopy: but it might have been for kernel 1.5 or something.. it was a long time ago
[23:00] <ere4si> Photocopy, there's a few bugs listed about that game being outdated...
[23:00] <tinman> hischild: can you maybe help me with this x server issue, it stopped working but now i can get it to work but my mouse dosent work
[23:00] <pak> hischild - thanks bro!
[23:00] <jk_> is widnows xp completely erased from my computer or not?
[23:00] <Jowi> tanath, probably some part of the old theme is still in use. loggin out would solve that
[23:01] <tanath> Jowi, indeed
[23:01] <hischild> tinman, i've had some serious issues with my own xserver ... i'll have to figure those out first i'm afraid  ...
[23:01] <Flare183> jk_: maybe
[23:01] <GirlConfused> guys is there a shortcut to switch between desktops?
[23:01] <hischild> tinman, i'm currently back on metacity
[23:01] <tanath> where would i file a bug report for an issue that affects most of the web? :P
[23:01] <tinman> hischild: lol, okey
[23:01] <nickrud> GirlConfused: ctl-alt-left/right arrow
[23:01] <jk_> flare what do u mena maybe?
[23:01] <GirlConfused> :-D
[23:01] <pak> i hope dual desktops is a possibility with ubuntu?
[23:01] <prince_jammys> jk_: are you logged into ubuntu right now?
[23:01] <jk_> mean*
[23:01] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud : There is no output to that command.
[23:01] <ele-mugv> alt +ctrl +left
[23:01] <jk_> yes im in ubuntu because i dont have dual boot
[23:01] <Flare183> jk_: system, computer and see if there is another hard drive icon in the window
[23:01] <hischild> GirlConfused, once you've got your drivers up and running you can enable the cube after which you can use ctrl alt leftarrow and rightarrow
[23:01] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: enable them with prefeances
[23:01] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: there will be something
[23:02] <Slart> GirlConfused: depends on which desktops.. the compiz ones might be.. ctrl+shift+arrows.. or mousewheel on the desktop
[23:02] <pak> does ubuntu support DUAL MONITORS?
[23:02] <tinman> hischild: i have no idea what i am on, but vesa with some random bashing of my head on keyboard fixed it a bit but i killed my mouse in the process
[23:02] <hischild> pak, yes it does
[23:02] <Flare183> LjL-Temp: would it be a good time to do the traffic factiod
[23:02] <pak> yes!
[23:02] <DrX> pak: yes, but 7.10 has some issues with them
[23:02] <GirlConfused> i cant wait for the cube!
[23:02] <Flare183> !dualmonitor | pak
[23:02] <ubotu> pak: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[23:02] <Photocopy> ere4si: Its okay, ill just give up on it.. linux is freakin hard
[23:02] <prince_jammys> jk_: type in a terminal::   sudo fdisk -l    <-- and see if there's a partition marked "NTFS"
[23:02] <GirlConfused> and the wobbley windows
[23:02] <hischild> tinman, alright ... in console type --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <--
[23:02] <pak> flare why do you type like that?  !dualmonitor | pak
[23:02] <Photocopy> GirlConfused: If you're coming from windows you probably wont use the cube much
[23:02] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: get compif config
[23:02] <tinman> hischild: yeah, that's what i have been doing
[23:02] <Slart> GirlConfused: overrated.. you'll be watching it spin for 10 minutes and then shut it down forever =)
[23:02] <GirlConfused> umm...
[23:02] <tanath> Photocopy, some things may be difficult at first, but it's worth it
[23:02] <Flare183> GirlConfused: you get your video card fixed then you can install compiz
[23:02] <GirlConfused> :)
[23:02] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: get compiz config
[23:02] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: even if it's as little as Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree  Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[23:03] <tinman> hischild: trying random configuration till i found one that worked :<
[23:03] <Flare183> pak: easier
[23:03] <jk_> this is what it says
[23:03] <GirlConfused> im getting it in the 250mb update.. go slow on me here
[23:03] <jk_>  sudo fdisk
[23:03] <Photocopy> tanath: I just dont understand why executing a shell script isnt as easy as execing a bat in windows... but i hav eto go
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, to avoid all the hassles of windows (ie., viruses, spyware, etc)
[23:03] <Flare183> pak: instead of actually talking to the bot
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, it should be
[23:03] <jk_> this is waht it says lol
[23:03] <DrX> can a regular user add items to a GNOME menu?
[23:03] <prince_jammys> jk_: no::  sudo fdisk -l
[23:03] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin? it keeps asking for a username and password
[23:03] <jk_> Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
[23:03] <jk_> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0  or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0  (for RAID devices)
[23:03] <jk_>   ...
[23:03] <hischild> pak, when ppl say something like !dual | pak, watch for the message ubotu gives just after that. He's a bot responding .
[23:03] <Flare183> !paste | jk_
[23:03] <ubotu> jk_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[23:03] <ere4si> Photocopy, tried reading here? - http://www.warsow.net/forum/
[23:03] <ele-mugv> I'm running at internet connection using my n73 and a bluetooth adapter
[23:03] <Slart> Photocopy: it is.. but there are broken scripts in linux as well as in windows
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, unless it's a security issue
[23:03] <hischild> jk_, use pastebin please.
[23:03] <PriceChild> "/script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='Europe/London';"
[23:03] <PriceChild> gah
[23:03] <tinman> CorruptTerrorist: root with no password for default?
[23:03] <Photocopy> tanath it gives me permissions errors when im the owner, it gives me all kinds of other hell.
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, security/permissions
[23:03] <Flare183> jk_: or the bot will kick you
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, needs to be executable too
[23:04] <Photocopy> Slart: Its from a pretty reliable source
[23:04] <prince_jammys> jk_: with an -l   on the end
[23:04] <Photocopy> tanath: I did both those
[23:04] <ere4si> Photocopy, tremulous is supposed to be good
[23:04] <CorruptTerrorist> tinman, no
[23:04] <Flare183> PriceChild: oops right?
[23:04] <Photocopy> ere4si: It's not, I speak from experience.
[23:04] <Slart> Photocopy: it can still be broken.. or need some stuff before it can run
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, hm. how much time do you have?
[23:04] <Flare183> ere4si: tremulous rocks
[23:04] <Photocopy> tanath: Ill have forever and ever after I get back from the lan party
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, whatever it is, isn't a common issue i think
[23:04] <CorruptTerrorist> htpasswd.setup...  'admin:*'

[23:05] <tanath> Photocopy, well, i'm sure someone can help you. i actually need to go too :/
[23:05] <jk_> sorry
[23:05] <prince_jammys> jk_: stop pasting.  it looks like windows is gone
[23:05] <Flare183> jk_: no problem just please don't flood
[23:05] <Photocopy> tanath: I stumped a guy with my problem.
[23:05] <ere4si> Photocopy, don't give up 'cause its' new and takes some time
[23:05] <Flare183> I got to go people
[23:05] <pak> *just curious* When you're running xp on virtual, when you install something does it install on xp or on ubuntu? for example office xp?
[23:05] <HangukMiguk> I used a third-party repository to update pidgin to 2.3, but now, since 2.3.1 is in the multiverse, i'm trying to switch pidgin back to updating from the main repository.  however, after deleting the third-party repositories, it still shows their version number as the latest version.  help?
[23:06] <GirlConfused> hey guys, this update is going to take like 40min and I am sleepy so I will see u all in like 8 hours then you can help me get the nvidia stuff done and all the eye candy and make some serious recommendations around must have software! until then
[23:06] <Slart> you're trying to play warsow, right? I had that up and running before.. wonder what I did...
[23:06] <ele-mugv> how do i distribute an internet connection\
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, you did chmod +x ?
[23:06] <hischild> pak, it's a completely seperate thing. Nothing is switched between ubuntu and xp when using vbox.
[23:06] <Photocopy> ere4si: Been using linux for almost a year now... and am not that happy with it... I get the weirdest of problems
[23:06] <Photocopy> Slart: Right
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, no errors?
[23:06] <jk_> whos like the owner of ubuntu?
[23:06] <Slart> jk_: canonical
[23:06] <Photocopy> tanath: No i didnt do that
[23:06] <LjL-Temp> HangukMiguk, you will need to uninstall the installed copy
[23:06] <xxx> Ciao
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, what shell? what's the exact error?
[23:06] <Photocopy> jk_: Like, canonical or something
[23:06] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: that wont be very hard, it will be in system preferances
[23:06] <pak> hischild - so when you install something how do you choose where to go?
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, do that to make it executable
[23:06] <jk_> why did he make it free?
[23:06] <Photocopy> tanath: Idk what a shell is.. Errors like permission denied
[23:06] <LjL-Temp> jk_, ubuntu has no proper owner, anyway ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only
[23:07] <hischild> pak, it goes on the virtual disk that you created for windows
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: I made it executable from the properties window
[23:07] <pak> it'll automatically know?
[23:07] <Flare183> jk_: umm the founder is Mark Shuttleworth
[23:07] <Flare183> !sabdfl
[23:07] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57890/. is what i got
[23:07] <ubotu> Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com
[23:07] <Slart> jk_: it's a linux distro.. it's hard to make it ... not-free.. while still using the kernel and the gnu stuff
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, then how do you know it's not running?
[23:07] <Photocopy> Flare193 theres a mark shuttleworth at my school... haha
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, if it's a script, you should be running it in a terminal
[23:07] <Flare183> !sabdfl | jk_
[23:07] <ubotu> jk_: please see above
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, that way you can see any output
[23:07] <Flare183> Flare183 yeah that's me
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: I did try to run it in a terminal
[23:07] <Slart> jk_: besides... I think he's got enough kaching already..
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: Thats where I get permission denied.
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, by what means? what command?
[23:07] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: it has a nice graphical user interface with some cool buttons and stuff ................have fun with its many many options
[23:08] <LjL-Temp> !ot
[23:08] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:08] <Photocopy> tanath: sh file.sh
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, then do 'chmod +x filename' in terminal
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, try './filename' instead
[23:08] <Slart> chmod a+x
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, after the chmod +x
[23:08] <Slart> or you don't need the first letter?
[23:08] <Flare183> see you guy later after I get done taking the SAT
[23:08] <Photocopy> tanath: jesus... later I don't have time.. and the ./filename didnt work either
[23:08] <tanath> Slart, i never used that
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, ok, well good luck
[23:09] <Photocopy> tanath: I appreciate the help but ill try tonight or tomorrow.
[23:09] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin? it keeps asking for a username and password
[23:09] <pak> It's installing xp right now but the mouse isn't moving ??? what did i screw up on?
[23:09] <Photocopy> I gotta go in 10
[23:09] <neeto> My delete key stopped working, how can I fix this?
[23:09] <Slart> tanath: ahh.. it assumes 'a' if you don't put something there.. sweet.. learning new stuff all the time
[23:09] <binaries-AP1> pak : chill out man read a manual or something
[23:09] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[23:09] <binaries-AP1> pak:
[23:09] <ere4si> neeto: try hitting it harder :)
[23:09] <tanath> neeto, when did it stop? what changed?
[23:09] <Gibb> how do I see my symlinks?
[23:10] <binaries-AP1> pac: this is normal
[23:10] <tanath> neeto, make sure there's nothing under the key :P
[23:10] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud: I got it to work with the last thing you told me to write in. I had to do a few things before that would work though. Thanks a ton.
[23:10] <neeto> ere4si: now it's broken for good... thanks for the suggestion :( jk
[23:10] <Viper111> guys i have ubuntu hoary i need to upgrade it to the latest version
[23:10] <tanath> neeto, found a paperclip in a keyboard before that got stuck under the u key
[23:10] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: glad to point you in the right direction ;)
[23:10] <ere4si> neeto: oldish keyboard?
[23:10] <neeto> naw brand new
[23:10] <Viper111> i tried to edit the repositories to breezy but it dodnt work
[23:10] <Slart> Viper111: if I were you I'd go with a fresh install
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: it's software.
[23:11] <monte> hey can someone help me. i put and external hardrive on and it said it cannot mount.
[23:11] <Jowi> HangukMiguk, you can, in synaptic, select the package and go to Package -> force version, and chose the repo you want.
[23:11] <tinman> Hmm, any way to make the mouse protocol be auto detected? i am reading about somethin regarding editing xorg.conf to "Protocol" "auto" but the exact instructions are not given.
[23:11] <tanath> neeto, change the keyboard layout?
[23:11] <nickrud> Viper111: breezy is dead, it doensn't have official repos anymore (that is, supported ones)
[23:11] <Viper111> Slart man i have ubuntu 5.04 CD only
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: Because when I press the delete key, whatever I am using responds, but not by deleting.
[23:11] <robokop> i f*ck-up my grub, and when i try to do a grub-install it gives me "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[23:11] <robokop> "
[23:11] <Viper111> so wat should put
[23:11] <tanath> neeto, sounds like it's mapped to something else. can you figure out what?
[23:11] <Gibb> how do I see a list of my symbolic links?
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: I've tried that.... hasn't helped
[23:12] <Slart> Viper111: well.. they are free to download.. or you can get one in the mail..
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, play around in System > Prefs > keyboard ?
[23:12] <neeto> tanath: I installed xkeycaps and nothing lights up when I hit delete
[23:12] <hischild> !grub | robokop
[23:12] <ubotu> robokop: 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
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, that's when it started?
[23:12] <Viper111> Slart man what should i do in specfic to upgarde to the latest
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, did you try uninstalling it?
[23:12] <binaries-AP1> Viper111: format and clean install
[23:13] <Slart> Viper111: I don't know how to do it on hoary.. I'm not even sure you can upgrade to the latest..
[23:13] <Viper111> ok i did now
[23:13] <Slart> !upgrade
[23:13] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[23:13] <neeto> tanath: xkeycaps? it was something I installed to fix the problem... xmodmap is a different story
[23:13] <tanath> ah
[23:13] <mrunagi> !smb
[23:13] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[23:13] <Viper111> ubotu i tried ur list but it didnt work
[23:13] <neeto> tanath: I don't want to use xmodmap at all, I don't have any use for it... is there a way I can stop it from loading?
[23:13] <tanath> neeto, i have xmodmap... haven't messed with it in months though, and don't remember how to do stuff with it :P
[23:13] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it?
[23:13] <mkz> question: if I want a script to be executed daily from cron as root user, is it enough to add a symlin in /etc/cron.daily to my script?
[23:13] <Slart> ubotu is a bot.. he isn't really smart yet
[23:13] <tanath> neeto, make sure it's not in your sessions...
[23:14] <Viper111> hehe sorry now i found
[23:14] <neeto> tanath: alright /etc/X11/xinitrc?
[23:14] <Viper111> Slart so what should b done??
[23:14] <pak> LOL the entire time - my mouse was stuck in the xp screen and i couldn't bring it out here to type lol, just realized its CTRL :)
[23:14] <Gibb> So theres no way to get a list of my symlinks?
[23:14] <tanath> neeto, no, that's system stuff
[23:14] <neeto> tanath: ~/.*?
[23:14] <tanath> neeto, System > Prefs > session
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, there are a couple files in the home dir that can autostart stuff too, but i forget what they are
[23:15] <Jowi> Viper111, 5.04 is very old. there is no way to upgrade that version (to my knowledge). A fresh install is recommended.
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, but make sure it's not in your gnome session
[23:15] <monte> hello does any one in this room know why and external hardrive will not mount
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, or wherever you put it to start when you installed it
[23:15] <Slart> Viper111: you have my recommendation.. reinstall .. I can't help you with upgrading.. but ask the channel.. perhaps someone else knows
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, and, if you don't want it, why not uninstall it
[23:15] <neeto> tanath: got it. I forgot, I was trying to do something with... something, can't quite remember and I put a startup script for it :( My bad, thanks for the help
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, that's what i figured :)
[23:15] <Viper111> so if i installed 5.04 i cannt install pakages?
[23:16] <jk_> how can i remove passwrod from when i log on to the computer?
[23:16] <Slart> Gibb: symlinks are just files.. they can be all over your system.. why do you want a list of them all?
[23:16] <tanath> jk_, there's an autologin feature
[23:16] <pak> Is there a guide to beginners with Ubuntu installing XP using virtual machine, this way I can pretty much avoid all the questions please?
[23:16] <Jowi> Viper111, the reason why there is no upgrade path for you is because 5.04 support ended in late 2006 and the version after that ended in 2007. so you can't upgrade easily.
[23:16] <Gibb> Slart, I have a problem with my usplash not displaying and a forum post said to check your symlinks
[23:16] <tanath> jk_, System > Admin > Login window
[23:16] <binaries-AP1> Viper111: your system is outdated, you could add repositories for the newer versions
[23:17] <Jowi> binaries-AP1, Viper111 won't help. no way to upgrade 5.04
[23:17] <Viper111> where i can get these repositories to put them
[23:17] <pange1> I struggling with Cisco VPN on my freshly installed Ubuntu - is it possible that Cisco VPN just doesn't work with the amd64 version or is it completely unrelated ?
[23:17] <binaries-AP1> pak: get wine
[23:17] <hp> hi, i want to install ubuntu 7.04, but everytime i run the cd, the screen just blacks out after a while, and no installation appears. How can i overcome this?
[23:17] <Slart> Gibb: oh.. my usplash haven't been working for a year or so.. I just turned it off... I don't really know what symlinks they might be talking about... but ask the room about how to fix usplash instead.. you might get better answers that way
[23:17] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it? /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf >> http://pastebin.com/m2ea05ea9
[23:17] <Viper111> i can download the latest one??
[23:17] <jk_> is vista home premium as secure as linux?
[23:17] <pak> binaries - I've gotten virtual, it fits my needs cause i need to use windows programs not games or anything..
[23:17] <Gibb> Slart, ah, howd you turn it off? Id rather do that
[23:17] <Jowi> hp, try the alternate cd
[23:18] <Starnestommy> jk_: it's less secure by default
[23:18] <Jowi> !alternate | hp
[23:18] <Slart> jk_: don't ask that here.. you'll only get one sided answers
[23:18] <ubotu> hp: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[23:18] <nickrud> Viper111: you can go to releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 to download the latest release
[23:18] <hp> thank you
[23:18] <Viper111> ok thanks man
[23:18] <Slart> Gibb: hmm.. run this in a terminal "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst". you should get a text editor window with the config file for grub
[23:18] <crush_groove> ok I had sound .. but not in foxfire .. so I changed the ff config to aoss  still had sound .. all of a sudden now I have no Media* Sound .. at all
[23:19] <gpled> 7.10 hangs on loading ide-floppy  modual during install, any ideas how to get pass this?
[23:19] <Jowi> Viper111, see here for a nice overview of which versions are supported: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution)#Releases
[23:19] <crush_groove> is there a way to restore original soung.config?
[23:19] <Daisuke_Ido> gpled: do you have a floppy drive?
[23:19] <Gibb> Slart, ok, I can swing that. What do I edit out to get rid of the graphical usplash?
[23:19] <Slart> Gibb: hang on.. I have to check my own file here...
[23:19] <pange1> sorry I misformulated the question - does Cisco VPN work on linux 64b ? I didn't find any information about it with google.
[23:20] <jk_> why after installing java i stil cant watch videos?
[23:20] <gpled> Daisuke_Ido: has what looks like an iomaga drive
[23:20] <Gibb> Slart, thx
[23:20] <Starnestommy> jk_: you need flash, not java, for youtube
[23:20] <Daisuke_Ido> that's not a floppy then
[23:20] <Daisuke_Ido> gpled: is the floppy disabled in the bios?
[23:20] <gpled> nope
[23:20] <jk_> can i get flash from the terminal?
[23:21] <Starnestommy> jk_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:21] <binaries-AP1> !terminal
[23:21] <ubotu> 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
[23:21] <Slart> Gibb: somewhere about halfway to the end there is a line that starts with ## additional options to use with the default boot option.. and a couple of lines further down you have # defoptions ....  right?
[23:22] <mrunagi> can someone tell me why on a live cd i can see my network with smbtree but n ot with the network menu?
[23:22] <Slart> Gibb: can you paste the line that starts with # defoptions
[23:22] <gpled> going to try disabling the floppy in bios
[23:22] <jk_> it says that installation was interupted and to manually run gpkh?
[23:22] <Gibb> Slart, yeah defoptions=quiet splash
[23:22] <Gibb> # defoptions=quiet splash
[23:22] <Slart> Gibb: ok.. just remove the "splash" part.. and voila.. no more splash
[23:23] <pak> Is it possible to make a shortcut for XP using VirtualBox, instead of always having to go through virtual box and selecting it from there?
[23:23] <Gibb> Slart, cool, so the line should be # defoptions=quiet? the # stays in front?
[23:23] <Slart> Gibb: correct
[23:23] <jk_> why want terminal alow me to install flash it says to manually run gpkg
[23:23] <Gibb> Slart, thank you. Do I have to edit the menu.lst~ file as well? someone in here said that yesterday for another issue
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: so save the file.. and then run this in a terminal to make the changes take effect.. "sudo update-grub"
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: nah.. ~files in linux are usually backups
[23:24] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it? /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf >> http://pastebin.com/m2ea05ea9
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: good thing to have if you mess something up..
[23:24] <Gibb> Slart, great, you rule. thanks again. anything else after sudo update-grub?
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: nope.. you're done
[23:24] <Gibb> :D
[23:25] <jk_> can someone help me install flash using the terminal?
[23:25] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: check /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
[23:25] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, it has admin:*
[23:25] <Slart> jk_: run this "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[23:26] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:26] <mrunagi> how do you cd to a network folder?
[23:26] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: certain packs are used during the intallation. some of them are removed by by default after the installation, since they usually arnt nesecary. you can add which ever pacages you like with the add/remove option or by using the synaptic package manager
[23:26] <mrunagi> in the terminal
[23:26] <jk_> Slart it says manually run dpkg
[23:26] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: what do you mean
[23:27] <mrunagi> i installed samba and i can smbtree to see the network but not in nautilus
[23:27] <Slart> jk_: then do as it says
[23:27] <mrunagi> how can i access the network with terminal
[23:27] <pak> Anyway to give windows more space from  your ubuntu drive?
[23:27] <mrunagi> pak reformat
[23:27] <pak> that sucks
[23:27] <mrunagi> yup
[23:27] <Slart> mrunagi: I suppose there are more than one way.. but you could mount a shared drive or ftp site in a folder.. and then cd to that folder
[23:27] <mrunagi> give it half and half
[23:27] <pak> no other way
[23:27] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, it just has                   admin:*
[23:27] <mrunagi> Slart: i cannot see the network in nautilus
[23:28] <ere4si> pak: gparted can resize unmounted partitions
[23:28] <Slart> mrunagi: check the places menu..
[23:28] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: use either * or a random password
[23:28] <pak> where do i get that from?
[23:28] <mrunagi> ere4si: pak i would not reccomend that with data on it
[23:28] <binaries-AP1> pak : use wine its tiny and runs beautifully if not perfectly, now i cant help you with that any more
[23:28] <mrunagi> i would not resize a partition with data on it
[23:28] <mrunagi> gparted likes to lose data and overlap partition tables
[23:28] <jk_> slart  i dont get what its saying can yopu explain?
[23:29] <mrunagi> Slart: its not in places
[23:29] <Slart> jk_: what is the error message?
[23:29] <Slart> mrunagi: in places click "Connect to Server"
[23:29] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:29] <jk_> dpkg was interupted you must run dpkg manually
[23:29] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: find the network folder and attempt to connect to the folder with the cd (change directory) command
[23:29] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, just keeps asking
[23:30] <Slart> jk_: that's all?
[23:30] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: try sudo htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup admin
[23:30] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: the easest way for me to do this is to copy a files location ( right click > copy ) and type cd and paste the location in the terminal
[23:30] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: thats my question..........how do you cd to a network folder
[23:30] <jk_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:30] <Atchoum_> join #Komuneco
[23:31] <mrunagi> if i was able to see the network on nautilus i could do that
[23:31] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: like this cd networkfolder
[23:31] <Slart> jk_: ah.. it tells you... right there.. between the ' ' chars.. run that in a terminal
[23:31] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:31] <kraypius>  i just tried to install sendmail and i got: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[23:31] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: you have to know its location
[23:32] <jk_> slart it syas this now
[23:32] <jk_> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[23:32] <nickrud> kraypius: close any other open package manager
[23:32] <deltar> must be with sudo
[23:32] <pak> is there a shortcut to launch xp from ubuntu?
[23:32] <ere4si> kraypius, is there another synaptic open?
[23:32] <kraypius>  this is from cmd using apt-get
[23:32] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, thanks
[23:32] <mrunagi> i have \\1000/c
[23:32] <kraypius> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[23:32] <Slart> jk_: it needs super user priveleges.. ie you have to be root.. and how do you do that?
[23:33] <nickrud> kraypius: yes. It's telling you some other application (like synaptic) is open
[23:33] <jk_> i am the super user lol its my computer
[23:33] <twiztr> I just installed Ubuntu on my computer, but when it boots up, or shuts down, my monitor goes blank and says signal outside of range. I configured xserver to detect my monitor right, but it still does it.
[23:33] <Slart> jk_: but there is a special command to run things as root..
[23:33] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: do you know what // means?
[23:33] <jk_> how do i do that?
[23:33] <Slart> jk_: sudo..
[23:33] <kraypius>  oic it thx
[23:34] <twiztr> So when GRUB runs, I cannot select which OS I want, because it's blank.
[23:34] <mrunagi> no
[23:34] <Slart> jk_: so.. you put sudo in front of that other command.. sudo dpkg etc etc...
[23:34] <rinaldi_> hi i can't access my shared folders on my windows pc, what could i be doing wrong?
[23:34] <nickrud> twiztr: but at some point you get a usable display in X?
[23:34] <twiztr> nickrud: It works fine, as soon as it boots the GUI.
[23:35] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: no
[23:35] <kLownish> i am trying to add a printer via LDP, whenever i enter the hostname, and the printer name, it freezes, anyone know why?
[23:35] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: is there a special reason why youd lie to connect using the terminal ?
[23:35] <mrunagi> lie?
[23:35] <nickrud> twiztr: try editing /etc/usplash.conf to a res your monitor knows
[23:35] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: what do you mean
[23:35] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: since if you just want to share cumputer folders then its alot easyer to usy samba
[23:35] <jk_> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[23:35] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:35] <jk_> what do i do now?
[23:35] <Slart> yes, mr mrunagi... *pointing flashlight in face*.. are you hiding something??? eh? ;)
[23:36] <Slart> jk_: try that command you tried to start with.. to install flash
[23:36] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: i ahve samba installed
[23:36] <mrunagi> nautilus doesnt see the network
[23:36] <mrunagi> smbtree sees the network
[23:36] <mrunagi> i need to transfer a picture file over the network
[23:36] <twiztr> nickrud: Thanks, that should work. It's set to 12something by 1024, and my LCD wont work with anything bigger then 1024x800 or w/e.
[23:37] <mrunagi> i dont know what you mean by 'hiding something'
[23:37] <jk_> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[23:37] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:37] <jk_> thats what it syas now
[23:37] <capttwinky> hi - I am looking for some web ref. to trouble shoot problems with my virtual terminals - specifically, chvt isn't working - where do I start?
[23:37] <Slart> jk_: ah.. you've been here before.. it tells you what to do
[23:37] <crush_groove> where is sound.config located?
[23:37] <kLownish> nevermind, I fixed it.
[23:37] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: connecting a terminal to another computer basicly gives you a small server , with many more functions then simply one computer has
[23:38] <jk_> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[23:38] <jk_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[23:38] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:38] <binaries-AP1>  mrunagi: its complicated , but its alot easyer to use a graphical user interface
[23:38] <jk_> lol this is really hard
[23:38] <Starnestommy> jk_: put sudo before the command
[23:38] <Slart> jk_: apt-get needs super user priveleges.. ie you have to be root.. how do you solve this?
[23:38] <rinaldi_> i can't access any of my samba shares from my windows pc as my ubuntu box isn't even shown in my windows network folder...
[23:38] <nickrud> jk_: keep in mind: any time you do administrative tasks, you need to run the command with sudo. Also, don't paste here
[23:38] <mrunagi> if i binaries-AP1if i COULD use nautilus i WOULD
[23:38] <david_> I am not able to send emails out from my server for some reason using phps mail() function. it returns a 1 so the sending seems good and according to the log the log files look like this http://pastebin.ca/923944
[23:38] <mrunagi> nautilus doesnt see the network..........
[23:39] <flowOver> can i somehow make vbox start a vm on startup?
[23:39] <david_> and port 25 is not being blocked
[23:39] <david_> an ideas?
[23:39] <binaries-AP1> or if its a real small file you can simple open a chat messenger and push the file through. or you can send it to an email address and then get your mail on the other computer. there are a thousand different ways to push a file thru
[23:39] <DrX> mrunagi:  nautilus has been said to be buggy and i have experienced issues with it as well
[23:39] <mrunagi> which is why i prefer kde
[23:39] <mrunagi> smbtree sees the network machines
[23:40] <mrunagi> i just want to transfer 1 image file to one of the network pcs...
[23:40] <Slart> nautilus is... well... it's what programmers tell their kids will come and eat them if they don't behave..
[23:40] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: oh like that i see
[23:40] <flowOver> rinaldi_: same workgroup?
[23:40] <xopey> How do i set the default umask for sftp transfers?
[23:40] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: well you should look to see that which ever windows system your running (gnome) or (kde) has such file sharing capabilitys. for myself samba does the trick
[23:41] <jk_> slart now it gave this blue screen saying configure sun-java
[23:41] <nickrud> david_: first, your relayhost is localhost. Are you set up to send mail over the net from sendmail? (shudder). Second, is email@email.com a real address?
[23:41] <rinaldi_> flowOver: how can i find that out? my mediatomb and mythtv server is showing up... but not mshome
[23:41] <mrunagi> i have samba installed binaries-AP1
[23:41] <Slart> jk_: sounds like it's working as it should.. way to go
[23:41] <Flats> I have a dual boot XP/Ubuntu system.  I screwed up my boot loader so it's just windows now.  What's  the easiest way to get lilo back
[23:41] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi:

[23:41] <dsofwef> will the server cd install with 54mb ram?
[23:41] <jk_> slart thank you
[23:41] <Slart> jk_: you're welcome
[23:41] <Lokian> Hi all
[23:42] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: ?
[23:42] <Lokian> How do I setup my Ubuntu machine as a sort of firewall?
[23:42] <dsofwef> will the server cd install with 54mb ram, or i guess more importantly, will it even BOOT?
[23:42] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: if the pacage is broken go to synaptic > select sepcial filters > broken packages > reload and apply
[23:42] <david_> to number 2 the answer is no, I changed it physically the actual address that I am trying to send it to is something else, as for the first one I believe I am
[23:42] <mrunagi> if it was broken i wouldnt see it in smbtree would i?
[23:42] <killown> does anyone here have screenlets running?
[23:42] <rinaldi_> flowOver: this is strange. the 3rd question i've asked on irc today and each time the problem is suddenly solved in front of me..
[23:42] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: srry apply then reload
[23:42] <Lokian> I want to run moblock between my real firewall and my network
[23:43] <david_> how do I check to make sure that I am ore not?
[23:43] <Slart> dsofwef: perhaps =).. I'm not really sure.. you're getting close to the minimum system requirements..
[23:43] <david_> I ran some tests that I saw on a faq site and they all seemed to match what was said
[23:43] <aghachi> why when i try to delete things it says i dotn have permiison
[23:43] <david_> so tahts why I believe I am
[23:43] <binaries-AP1> then perhaps the other computer to wich you are trying to send this file, has not yet been configured to accept the network sharing
[23:43] <gnychis> how do you get a file type to always associate with a specific application?
[23:43] <Sindacious> Does anyone in here know why Ubuntu won't allow me to go any lower on the partition size here http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n181/abyssl2/Screenshot.png ?
[23:43] <hischild> dsofwef, i'm almost certain it'll boot ... but wether it's fast ... that's the second thing ...
[23:43] <Slart> gnychis: right click on it... properties.. open with
[23:44] <gnychis> Slart: it doesn't hold, when i go to open int again it opens with the old app again
[23:44] <hischild> dsofwef, and you'll need a fairly decent swap partitition ....
[23:44] <ere4si> gnychis, right click it and select "open with"
[23:44] <aghachi> owner root?
[23:44] <Dritzen> I'm going to be installing Windows XP AFTER already having installed Ubuntu.  What steps will I have to take to get a linux bootloader back again?  I imagine I'll need to boot off of an ubuntu livecd
[23:44] <aghachi> how do i become the owner
[23:44] <Slart> gnychis: isn't there some kind of checkbox for "always open with this program" or similar
[23:44] <hischild> !grub | Dritzen
[23:44] <ubotu> Dritzen: 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
[23:44] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi:then perhaps the other computer to wich you are trying to send this file, has not yet been configured to accept the network sharing
[23:44] <zhanx> !vi

[23:44] <Dritzen> Thanks hischild
[23:44] <gnychis> Slart: not that i see
[23:44] <hischild> Dritzen, you're welcome
[23:44] <aghachi> how do i become root owner
[23:44] <zhanx> there a page for basic vi commands?
[23:45] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: if that was true i wouldnt be able to do it on this computer
[23:45] <nickrud> hahahahah pushing people away from vi!
[23:45] <zhanx> or vim
[23:45] <dsofwef> hischild, wifi bridge.
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> aghi  sudo  or gksudo for gui apps
[23:45] <Dritzen> zhanx:  http://www-acs.ucsd.edu/info/vi_tutorial.shtml
[23:45] <gnychis> Slart: got it... had to right click, go to properties, then go to "open with" then put a dot in the proper application
[23:45] <pipcoke> is there an easy way to view ipod touch files in ubuntu 7.04
[23:46] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: go to the other computer and try to see if you can see yourself
[23:46] <nickrud> zhanx: google   vim cheat sheet , there's a bunch. Some suitable for printing even
[23:46] <hischild> dsofwef, ???
[23:46] <Pepetide1> hi... Can anyone help me... I have a HP laptop with integrated webcam... it was working fine before but I created a new user on my computer and now the webcam does not work anymore... what do you think is happening here?
[23:46] <dsofwef> hischild, making a wifi bridge
[23:46] <Lokian> Is there a line for help that I can get in?
[23:46] <Slart> gnychis: ah.. yes.. it's been a while since I changed that
[23:46] <aghachi> there is a folder i would liek to delete but it says i dont have permission, so how to i become the owner which is root?
[23:46] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: yourself > your computer
[23:46] <dsofwef> hischild, but i've having problems with it, as, linux seems to require an address to be bound to it. never had these issues with openbsd.
[23:46] <hischild> aghachi, sudo chown -R ./yourfolder
[23:46] <Slart> Pepetide1: check if there isn't a group your new user should be a member of.. something like webcamusers or such
[23:47] <nickrud> aghachi: sudo rmdir <dir> , but what dir is it? (Just want you to be safe ;)
[23:47] <aghachi> thanx
[23:47] <david_> nickrud: do you know of some tests that I can run to see if I am actually set up to send mails out using sendmail?
[23:47] <aghachi> its nvidia_new
[23:47] <dsofwef> unless someone can tell me something i'm missing.
[23:47] <hischild> nickrud, i prefer to not suggest sudo rmdir ... and not sudo rm at all ... if you accidentily do / *blank* you're ... screwed
[23:47] <nickrud> david_: not really, I don't know sendmail at all. I've set up postfix and exim4 in the past, but it's been a while.
[23:47] <pak> any one here have IE for ubuntu running?
[23:47] <aghachi> because in the nvidia settings i cant relpace the backup and i read when u unistall that it doesnt remove it all the way
[23:48] <dsofwef> pak, running in vmware workstation i do.
[23:48] <Slart> hischild, nickrud: I'm not sure if starting nautilus as root is better.. at least you can avoid the typos
[23:48] <nickrud> hischild: a good point for here. That's why I asked about the dir for one ;)
[23:48] <CorruptTerrorist> where is my php.ini file?
[23:48] <Scunizi> Lokian, just ask your question be specific.  If someone knows the answer they will put your name in the line so it beeps or highlights on your end.
[23:48] <hischild> nickrud, good point. I'm not saying that it's incorrect :-)
[23:48] <flowOver> hischild: better step away from the computer.  there's electricity in it.
[23:48] <nickrud> Slart: I always advocate against nautilus as root, it's too darn easy to move stuff around (been there, done that)
[23:48] <pak> no on ubuntu itself, not running IE with vm
[23:49] <Jeremy_> Can anyone help me out with an issue installing ubuntu on a mac?
[23:49] <hischild> Slart, true there. But even then you can accidentily move a file or 2 that should've stayed
[23:49] <david_> CorruptTerrorist: use "sudo find / -name php.ini"
[23:49] <binaries-AP1> jeremy_ oh yes i can
[23:49] <pak> comfiz config?
[23:49] <aghachi> nickrud: this is my problem do u know what i have to do before i test erasing that file because im not 100% on erasing that folder :)
[23:49] <pak> whats the command to install the effects and stuff
[23:49] <nickrud> Slart: especially with a touchy touchpad
[23:49] <pak> for cubes
[23:49] <Slart> nickrud: perhaps there should be a "delete as root" in the context menu in nautilus..
[23:49] <DrX> pak: yes
[23:49] <aghachi> nickrud: Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:49] <macogw> pak: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:49] <Jeremy_> Ok, it's a slightly older one. The mac iBook a1005, its a g3, currently running os x 10.1.5
[23:50] <pak> DRX - how?
[23:50] <Jeremy_> For some reason, I can get it to boot to the cd
[23:50] <icesword> nickrud, good morning
[23:50] <binaries-AP1> Jeremy_ :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[23:50] <flowOver> the only way to protect against idiot mistakes that could happen is don't be an idiot.  not using common commands because they could delete something important is retarded imo
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm > pak
[23:50] <Jeremy_> Thanks
[23:50] <nickrud> aghachi:  cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf.backup-pre-nvidia-install , something like that is what I usually do
[23:50] <Scunizi> aghachi, sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[23:50] <nickrud> icesword: good evening ;)
[23:51] <DrX> pak: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[23:51] <aghachi> do i have to do that everytime the settings wants to save over?
[23:51] <DrX> pak:  just know that (1) not all features work and (2) it's not as stable (shuts down randomly)
[23:51] <Scunizi> aghachi, you don't have to delete it at all..
[23:51] <Slart> flowOver: mm.. accidents happen.. even to the best... running with scissors is never a good idea.. no matter how good you are at running =)
[23:51] <Lokian> How do I set up my ubuntu server between my router and my network so that I can run moblock on it?
[23:51] <careo> I have a server running Dapper LTS that I'd like to install a set of apache 2.2 packages that were backported from Fiesty. The architecture of the server is am64, but the packages are i386. would it be a Bad Idea to install them?
[23:52] <binaries-AP1> Jeremy_: osx wont let  you do that by default, it really depends on the cpu your running, try and get refit and install it, it works wonders i tell you
[23:52] <aghachi> scunizi it wont replace it when i save settings
[23:52] <cjones_> what softeare is there to make a vid  of your system ?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> DrX, ies4linux is not a good idea...  just ask #Winehq how they feel about using that
[23:52] <Slart> flowOver: and typing rm -rf / home/username/myolduselessfiles is an easy mistake to do
[23:52] <DrX> pak:  in general, running Windows programs on Linux tends to be overblown by those advocating such practice (and the newer the versions of the Windows software the less well this tends to work)
[23:52] <Scunizi> aghachi, anytime you modify xorg.conf it automatically creates a backup.. not a big issue.
[23:52] <aghachi> scunizi it used to i duno wat happend i think when i put dual monitor the other monitor is using the file as well maybe?
[23:52] <Jeremy_> Ok, Ill give that a shot
[23:53] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: good afternoon.
[23:53] <ompaul> Lokian, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[23:53] <dsofwef> hwo do i know if my CD is the server edition? nothing diffferent in the / of cd
[23:53] <Scunizi> aghachi, there can only be one xorg running at a time.
[23:53] <DrX> Jack_Sparrow: running any windows program under Linux probably isn't a good idea
[23:53] <cjones_> drx have you tryed vbox ?
[23:53] <dsofwef> ha, naswered my own question, suppose i could md5 it.
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud, Howdy...  just stopped in for a few.
[23:53] <mrunagi> my word there are NO kubntu cd labels
[23:53] <aghachi> scunizi o ok
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DrX, That is something I can agree with
[23:53] <DrX> cjones_: no, i use Xen
[23:53] <Lokian> Ok thanks OMPAUL
[23:53] <pak> Xp isn't being able to find my networked printer even though i made sure it's on the right workgroup
[23:53] <Sindacious> Anyone know the link to the Ubuntu help on partitioning?
[23:53] <nickrud> DrX: +1000 ;)
[23:54] <Scunizi> !partition > Sindacious
[23:54] <cjones_> i have no problem running win games in linux
[23:54] <binaries-AP1> Sindacious: google gparted
[23:54] <icesword> cjones_, wow?
[23:54] <Lokian> I already have moblock installed ompaul, I just need to set up my unbuntu server so that all my network traffic passes thru it
[23:54] <binaries-AP1> Sindacious: google gparted/ wiki
[23:55] <ompaul> Lokian, read that page - I have not done it and am not interested in it - just passed on the link
[23:55] <aghachi> scunizi: now it says Unable to %C8create %C1new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. after running the sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup command
[23:55] <Lokian> Uh, thanks?
[23:56] <edju> OK - dumb question of the month - if I dwload and compile an alsa snapshot, must I first remove all the alsa that ubuntu brought down on the install?
[23:56] <Scunizi> aghachi, what are you running that is trying to create a backup?
[23:56] <ompaul> Lokian, all the info is there - read it
[23:56] <aghachi> nvidia x server settings
[23:56] <aghachi> scunizi:
[23:56] <Pelo> edju, it is usualy a good idea to remove the oldone before instlling the newone
[23:57] <Pelo> edju, unless you are upgrading from a pre-compiled package
[23:57] <Scunizi> aghachi are you running nvidia-settings? from a command line?
[23:57] <Pelo> edju, and your question was not dumb , not in the least
[23:57] <ompaul> nickrud, stdin  there is now an mblock factoid
[23:57] <ompaul> Pelo, ^^
[23:57] <aghachi> no application system settings and then the program
[23:57] <pak> i can't find this compfiz thing?
[23:58] <Pelo> ompaul, mblock ?
[23:58] <cjones_> can you apt-get xfce desktop ?
[23:58] <ompaul> !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot)
[23:58] <nickrud> ompaul: you have it as mblock, not moblock
[23:58] <Pelo> cjones_, yes ,  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:58] <ompaul> wooopppp
[23:58] <ompaul> woooppps
[23:58] <cjones_> pelo thanks
[23:58]  * Pelo is very disapointed in ompaul 
[23:59] <Pelo> what is moblock anyway ?
[23:59]  * nickrud thinks Pelo better be nice to ompaul 
[23:59] <pak> ompaul can you send me the bot again
[23:59] <Scunizi> aghachi, ok.. to reverse it type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup  .. that will recreate it if it needs it there to save to.
[23:59] <ompaul> !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot)
[23:59] <ompaul> Pelo, some iptables peer to peer stuff
[23:59] <bindigoat> I left a message on my friends ubuntu computer thats cool you can leave a message if you dont know the password to boot the system thats all I think is cool with ubuntu
[23:59] <Pelo> ic
