[00:03] <ere4si> !minimal | Streifenhoernche
[00:03] <ubotu> Streifenhoernche: 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).

Am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[00:06] <astheglorious> RickJames, check out ubuntuguide.org
[00:06] <decherdt> !blacklist
[00:06] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[00:06] <ed_ed> RickJames: Will do, just give me a second.
[00:07] <ed_ed> RickJames: http://www.stchman.com/dvd_rip.html
[00:08] <RickJames> thank you ed_ed, i will read about it now
[00:08] <keithclark> ok, no worries....I'll find a way
[00:08] <ed_ed> RickJames: Let me know if you encounter any problems. I assume you are using vlc?
[00:08] <rahduke> please help, big problems: after a ctrl+alt+bksp i lost access to xserver, I get the following error when trying to boot ""Could not start Xserver due to some install error, contact system admin restart when problem corrected"..... so far i have tried to reconfigure xserver via  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg..... needless to say it didnt work
[00:08] <astheglorious> so no one knows about my problem?
[00:08] <astheglorious> I have the worst of luck with linux...
[00:08] <warddr> rahduke, reboot?
[00:08] <gyaresu> !medibuntu |RickJames: ed_ed
[00:08] <ubotu> RickJames: ed_ed: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[00:08] <rahduke> i've tried several times
[00:08] <warddr> astheglorious, strange..
[00:08] <gyaresu> It has all you need.
[00:09] <astheglorious> I even reinstalled everything to make sure
[00:09] <astheglorious> encountered the same problem
[00:09] <rahduke> im totally screwed aren't i
[00:09] <DragonulRosu> how can I uninstall a kernel module ?
[00:09] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: 'sudo modprobe -r module'
[00:09] <Streifenhoernche> Is the mini iso just english?
[00:10] <georgy_28> Streifenhoernche, : yes, but you can choose your language
[00:10] <RickJames> i all i have to do is remove the # infront of the repos for that and update. right ?
[00:10] <dryder> ppl - gotta go - plse don't think I'm impatient/rude - will ask my question another time ... thanks
[00:10] <Streifenhoernche> so i can also install e.g. a german kubuntu?
[00:11] <astheglorious> Last time I tried to install the version 7.10 of linux, it suddenly failed at booting once it got to loading bluetooth drivers
[00:11] <ConstyXIV> can you use a blackberry (Pearl 8100, T-Mo USA) as a modem in ubuntu?
[00:11] <georgy_28> Streifenhoernche, : yes, you can
[00:11] <astheglorious> is this problem solved?
[00:11] <danny> anybody know what to do with a directory full of .h files? I installed divxlabs for linux and it just generated a directory full of .h files???
[00:11] <warddr> astheglorious, did you do a cd selftest?
[00:11] <Streifenhoernche> okay, thanx
[00:11] <gyaresu> RickJames: Well you can chose repos that are close to you or maybe your isp has a mirror but yeah. as long as you get the right ones.
[00:11] <astheglorious> warddr: yep
[00:12] <RickJames> so far all is installing well
[00:13] <warddr> astheglorious, then I can't help you. maybe the problem is solved with ubuntu 8.04
[00:13] <astheglorious> ubuntu 8.04 fails on me for a different reason :'(
[00:13] <astheglorious> keyboard stops working after ndiswrapper is installed :(
[00:13] <astheglorious> on 8.04
[00:14] <Sonderblade> does anything bad happen if you remove apparmor?
[00:14] <DragonulRosu> thanks gyaresu, I 've used the modprobe command, but a application reports that I have the uninstalled module on my system
[00:14]  * RickJames personally thanks everyone for there help :))
[00:15] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: You need to uninstall the module eh? Rather than just removing it from the running kernel?
[00:15] <DragonulRosu> yes
[00:15] <gyaresu> ah. Which module
[00:15] <napii> Could some one help me getting email to work please? Am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[00:15] <yu> yuding
[00:15] <astheglorious> btw, I'm a software engineer at a microsoft only shop trying to convince my bosses to go open source :S
[00:15] <DragonulRosu> vmmon
[00:15] <proxie> dumb question ...  i apologize ... but where do the man pages typically live at?
[00:15] <janusDK> My Ubuntu7.10 suddenly forced me to do a manual fsck (did it via live boot and Gparted). How will I know if damage has been done? Is there a log somewhere about the problem?
[00:15] <proxie> astheglorious, best of luck with that one. :)
[00:16] <whileimhere> I have a bunch of icons that I want to install. They were just some .ico files I kept from my old setup. Is there an easy way to install them?
[00:16] <warddr> astheglorious, go on with that good job!
[00:16] <yu> i wonder how can I upgrade my firefox from 2.0 to 3beta
[00:16] <mosty> janusDK, fsck will tell you
[00:16] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: vmware?
[00:16] <DragonulRosu> yes
[00:17] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: manually installing vmware or what? What are you trying to do.
[00:17] <kavelot> is there some GDM theme that shows the current usernames (so you just have to click in your username instead of typing it)?
[00:17] <DragonulRosu> well on ubuntu 7.10 you can't use apt-get for that
[00:17] <rahduke>  please help, after a ctrl+alt+bksp i lost access to xserver, I get the following error when trying to boot ""Could not start Xserver due to some install error, contact system admin restart when problem corrected"..... so far i have tried to reconfigure xserver via  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg..... needless to say it didnt work
[00:17] <janusDK> mosty: the gui did not tell me much. Can not locate info i /var
[00:18] <astheglorious> ok I'm trying 7.10 now, wish me luck *crosses his fingers*
[00:18] <JoCo_> oi
[00:19] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: So do you have the vmware-player-kernel-modules-* installed? vmware should just build its own modules.
[00:19] <warddr> rahduke, you can try  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[00:19] <DragonulRosu> I know that but after I've finished the installation it just don't work
[00:20] <wookienz> hi, im getting this error to syslog on mysql server when starting. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60665/
[00:20] <DragonulRosu> and now I can't uninstall the modules :))
[00:20] <astheglorious> btw, as an aside question, does anyone know how complete asp support is under mono?
[00:20] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: Could you please be less vague and post an error message or log :)
[00:20] <astheglorious> asp .net
[00:21] <DragonulRosu> ok, how may I use pastebin ?
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste
[00:21] <ubotu> 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)
[00:21] <warddr> astheglorious, I think so
[00:21] <warddr> but you can't use ADO with access
[00:21] <wookienz> DragonulRosu: use pastebin link in the subject line.. the rest is self explanatory.
[00:21] <gyaresu> DragonulRosu: you can also install pastebinit (very handy)
[00:22] <whileimhere> Is there a GPS channel on irc?
[00:22] <janusDK> what is the equivalent to rpm -i in debian world? that is: Tell me the version number of the installed package eg. rpm -i lyx
[00:22] <DragonulRosu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60667/
[00:23] <gyaresu> janusDK: 'man dpkg'
[00:23] <gyaresu> janusDK: something like 'dpkg -l' is fairly verbose
[00:23] <janusDK> gyaresu: dpkg - ah! Thanks. debian package system still new to me. :-)
[00:24] <Flannel> janusDK: If you're doing it on something from the repositories, you can use higher level stuff too.  apt-cache, for instance
[00:24] <gyaresu> janusDK: 'apt-cache search _package_name_' is handy when looking for specifics. 'apropos' you probably know when trying to find the command you're looking for.
[00:24] <whileimhere> Is there a script that can take a .7z and turn it into a .zip?
[00:24] <janusDK> gyaresu: nice thanks
[00:25] <mosty> whileimhere, you could write your own, it would only be about 3 lines long
[00:25] <janusDK> gyaresu: playing with it right now. Really nice. Thanks. Will continue to play :-)
[00:26] <warddr> whileimhere, you can unpack it, and compress it again
[00:28] <whileimhere> I have about 1800+ files to do.
[00:28] <whileimhere> One at a time would be well a bummer
[00:28] <zero88_> How do you make fluxbox bottom panel appear again once you deselect the visible tab
[00:29] <Sonderblade> why does ubuntu load raid-modules when i have no raid?
[00:29] <K-Ton> Greetings, i'm trying to set the wifi on 8.04 beta. It works well after a lot of forum reading, but it slows down after a half minute. For example, i'm downloading something p2p via transmission, it is downloading it full speed, and after 10-30 secoind the speed slows to 80kb/sec. Do anyone know a fix for this issue? (Sorry for broken english)
[00:29] <Shepherd]> how can I check if I have openGL support
[00:30] <emja> Shepherd]: glxgears?
[00:30] <whileimhere> Many Salutations right back at you K-Ton!
[00:30] <emja> there's better ways, but that's what I do
[00:30] <gyaresu> !hardy | K-Ton

[00:30] <Jay_Levitt> Does anyone actually know how to use debootstrap and chroot/dchroot/schroot to install an i386 chroot on x86_64?  The wiki page is, well, pretty useless..
[00:31] <nikrud> Shepherd] glxinfo | grep direct
[00:31] <gyaresu> Jay_Levitt: gentoo docs are good. I think there's a link. Maybe you can fix the ubuntu wiki when you sort it :)
[00:31] <emja> like I said, there's better ways
[00:31] <emja> :-)
[00:31] <sensae> My system's almost completely set up - The only thing I'm missing is sound. I have an hda intel chipset.
[00:32] <gyaresu> sensae: ooh. can't remember anyone having any luck with that under gutsy. i could be wrong and frequently am though.
[00:32] <astheglorious> ah man, the hibernate channel is deserted....
[00:32] <wers> what folder contains the assistive technology configuration files? :)
[00:32] <Frederick> folks does anyone know the plugin I need in swiftweasel to open embedded pdfs?
[00:32] <pushkal> just setup my system.. downloaded updated drivers for my nvidia card..it asked me to restart..and i did and wham.. screen pitch black :( can anyone please help ?
[00:32] <sensae> Bah :/
[00:32] <Jay_Levitt> gyaresu: you think there's a link where?  Somewhere in the gentoo docs?
[00:33] <emja> astheglorious: that kind of makes sense, dontcha think? ;-)
[00:33] <astheglorious> emja: heh
[00:33] <cutewhitedaisy> Can anyone tell me how to list all exported functions of a shared library?
[00:33] <gyaresu> Jay_Levitt: Definitely. What are you trying to do? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_chroot_login
[00:33] <astheglorious> Jay_Levitt: gentoo is awful
[00:33] <gyaresu> http://www.google.com.au/search?q=gentoo+chroot
[00:34] <astheglorious> cause I'm trying to sell hibernate to my bosses
[00:34] <emja> sell?
[00:34] <pushkal> just setup my system.. downloaded updated drivers for my nvidia card..it asked me to restart..and i did and wham.. screen pitch black :*( can anyone please help ?
[00:34] <astheglorious> they want to go with linq to sql beurk.....
[00:34] <gyaresu> astheglorious: Not the place for distro flame wars :)
[00:34] <cutewhitedaisy> hibernate is great
[00:34] <emja> cutewhitedaisy: when it works... reliably
[00:34] <astheglorious> yeah, but what are the advantages of hibernate over linq...
[00:34] <Jay_Levitt> gyaresu: ah, but then I have to build the whole system manually.. I'm actually just trying to export data from a 32-bit PostgreSQL database, since 64-bit isn't compatible..
[00:34] <gyaresu> pushkal: Did you install from the repos or how?
[00:35] <cutewhitedaisy> Well, linq has more expressive syntax
[00:35] <Jay_Levitt> gyaresu: so I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to build/get a 32-bit binary of it.  Seemed like debootstrap/chroot was the right way, but maybe not?
[00:35] <gyaresu> !offtopic | emja astheglorious cutewhitedaisy
[00:35] <ubotu> emja astheglorious cutewhitedaisy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:35] <cutewhitedaisy> I hear hibernate is quicker
[00:35] <gyaresu> C'mon guys ;)
[00:35] <pushkal> gyaresu: actually the desktop was showing that ubuntu is using restricted drivers
[00:35] <IgnitedSun> /whois Ignitedsun
[00:36] <astheglorious> we're discussing free software ;(
[00:36] <astheglorious> ;)
[00:36]  * emja wonders how that was offtopic
[00:36] <emja> meh
[00:36] <gyaresu> pushkal: cool. so you clicked on the 'install restricted drivers' on the tool bar?
[00:36] <pushkal> gyaresu: yep..and as i was connectd,it downloaded and installed the driver
[00:36] <astheglorious> I like linq, but it stores all the code to access the database in the domain objects themselves...
[00:36] <pushkal> gyaresu:  i dunno from where..but it did
[00:36] <gyaresu> offtopic is everything not specific to support.
[00:37] <gyaresu> pushkal: Cool. So now you have nothing but a command line prompt yeah?
[00:37] <astheglorious> I'm asking for support for hibernate :D
[00:37] <tester> hi everyone. I need a piece of advice. is there a way to connect to irc  behind a restrictive http proxy?
[00:37] <emja> gyaresu: hibernate was working on feisty, it is no longer working since install of gutsy. yep, I see how this is offtopic
[00:37] <pushkal> gyaresu:  not even that..just total darkness.. :(
[00:37] <pushkal> gyaresu:  however recovery mode shows me the prompt
[00:37] <michael> can anyone recommend a good web development environment for X that is comparable to DreamweaverMX ??
[00:38] <astheglorious> dreamweaver mx ;)
[00:38] <emja> meanwhile, maybe I need to find a channel where webcams are considered *on*topic
[00:38] <emja> ;-)
[00:38] <gyaresu> emja: Support for that is fine. Ask away.
[00:38] <zagabog> pushkal: what has happened is x11 is still trying to work with the onboard video
[00:38] <napii> michael; notepad... all any one needs
[00:38] <zagabog> pushkal:

[00:38] <michael> napii, i'm quite aware of what one needs.
[00:38] <joe__> hi all i need help, for some reason i can't use synaptic and i get update manager to pull up but i can never install updates, it just sits there
[00:38] <michael> i am talking about what i want.
[00:38] <Smegzor> I want to install an ftp server on my pc.  Which one should I install or does ubuntu come with one pre-installed?  Where do I look to set one up?
[00:38] <michael> there is a difference
[00:38] <pushkal> zagabog: yes..so what to do now ?
[00:39] <kernco> Is there a way to install kubuntu-kde4 from ubuntu, like "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop" or something like that?
[00:39] <zagabog> pushkal: sart up in console/recovery mode
[00:39] <emja> kernco: yes. I did that via synaptic
[00:39] <pushkal> zagabog: ok
[00:39] <sp0ck>  /load  /home/sp0ck/Program/Linux/xfish.so
[00:39] <darkcrab> what do I type in terminal to make emerald the default theme manager.
[00:39] <gyaresu> Smegzor: 'apt-cache search ftp |grep -i server'
[00:39] <emja> kernco: oops, sorry, I didn't go kde4
[00:39] <zagabog> pushkal: run lspci to identify the address the card is using on the bus
[00:39] <fab4fan> hi
[00:39] <robdig> michael: some people like bluefish
[00:39] <Adin> hello
[00:39] <fab4fan> <--- ubuntu newbie
[00:39] <tester> joe__  : I used to get that error. what I did is in synaptics preferences I change the main server to "Server for France"
[00:40] <joe__> how can i get synaptic to pull up though? i can't get anything
[00:40] <Adin> can i have a question answered?
[00:40] <bleak> Good evening, sorry to be a bother, but I'm looking for a way to cap users on my home network, been looking for ages but I'm only finding bandwidth limiters, unless I'm misunderstanding somethin >_<
[00:40] <Al> probably :)
[00:40] <zagabog> pushkal: then check that the x11 config file is pointed at that device or that address, it probably is not
[00:40] <tester> joe__ : u mean u can't even launch synaptic?
[00:40] <joe__> tester, nope...can't get nothing?
[00:41] <pushkal> zagabog: ok.. i got the address.. hw to check the config file ?
[00:41] <tester> joe__ : what happens when u launch a terminal and run "sudo synaptic"?
[00:41] <DOONDOON> LONG TIME NO CHAT, ROOM xchat is malfunctioning on my laptop
[00:42] <Adin> im new to ubuntu (im actually using mythbuntu) and i cant get sound from myth tv, is there a person here that can help me, or is there a myth tv channel?

[00:42] <astheglorious> is it possible to get adium under linux?
[00:42] <PwrSurge> how do I resize my partitions if i am using lvm on them?
[00:42] <joe__> tester, hah! that did it I guess i was putting sudo synaptic-manager
[00:43] <PwrSurge> Gparted does not seem to allow me to resize
[00:43] <Al> I'm looking for a good, cli chat client (for MSN, AIM, etc.) any recommendations?
[00:43] <pushkal> zagabog: i got some addresses corresponding to 4 nvidia devices.. i have only 2 one ethernet controller and other graphics card
[00:43] <joe__> tester: so how do i get it to pull up from the icon?
[00:43] <tester> Adin : #mythtv
[00:43] <DOONDOON> all other network and tcp/ip seem to be ok
[00:43] <zagabog> pushkal: trying to remember the file name  on winows m/c just now, searching for it, just searching
[00:43] <Adin> thanks
[00:43] <gyaresu> Al: pidgin
[00:43] <Al> joe__: you can set the command in your menu
[00:43] <ConstyXIV> can you use a blackberry (Pearl 8100, T-Mo USA) as a modem in ubuntu?
[00:43] <tester> joe__ : which icon?
[00:43] <Al> gyaresu: yes, pidgin, but I want cli
[00:44] <Al> I use pidgin usually
[00:44] <decherdt__> How do I create devices to mount PATA IDE drives?
[00:44] <Al> unless... pidgin has a text mode?
[00:44] <joe__> well it won't open from the icon or from system>admin, and its not even downloading files it just went dark and is sitting there
[00:44] <pushkal> *where is the X11 config file placed ??*
[00:44] <Al> /etc/X11/
[00:44] <pushkal> thanks
[00:44] <Starnestommy> pushkal: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:45] <joe__> and update manager still isnt working
[00:45] <shawnharn> tritium?
[00:45] <tritium> shawnharn: hello
[00:45] <Al> joe__: did you try editing the menu? see if the command that's put in under the synaptic entry is right
[00:45] <shawnharn> tritium whats up man
[00:45] <tester> joe__ : are connecting to internet through a proxy?
[00:45] <shawnharn> tritium i got envy and fixed my issue
[00:45] <decherdt__> !MAKEDEV
[00:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about makedev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:45] <joe__> Al: gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic
[00:46] <tritium> shawnharn: oh...
[00:46] <shawnharn> tritium but my wine is running all slow and i only get to be in real gameplay for liek 5 seconds
[00:46] <joe__> thats the command the icon is pointing to
[00:46] <joe__> tester, no
[00:46] <shawnharn> tritium then it crashes
[00:46] <tritium> shawnharn: that's too bad.  You know envy isn't recommended, right?
[00:46] <tester> joe__ : the other possibility might be that the main server is overloaded. with the relaase of the beta...
[00:46] <shawnharn> tritium what is?
[00:46] <zagabog> pushkal: I think its /etc/X11/xserver.conf look at that using less then see if it has an entry for the nVidia card
[00:46] <tritium> shawnharn: native ubuntu packages
[00:46] <tritium> !envy | shawnharn
[00:46] <ubotu> shawnharn: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[00:46] <shawnharn> tritium i tried :(
[00:46] <joe__> tester, thats a good point
[00:46] <shawnharn> tritium alot
[00:47] <robdig> Al: finch is the cli version of pidgin...
[00:47] <tester> joe__ : either try using some mirrors or be patient
[00:47] <tritium> shawnharn: well, if you're happy with it, I'm glad it's working for you
[00:47] <joe__> tester:  i'll try that thanks for the help, hopefully thats the problem
[00:47] <Al> robdig; Thank you, I will try that out now. ugh, I should have remembered to use screen
[00:47] <shawnharn> tritium its working as far as being able to render stuff now i jsut got a problem with wine
[00:47] <tester> joe__ : no problem
[00:47] <shawnharn> tritium does that sound like wine?
[00:47] <astheglorious> what's the procedure to install ndiswrapper?
[00:48] <shawnharn> tritium the game shows up but freezes out
[00:48] <tritium> shawnharn: I suppose so.  I don't use wine, so I couldn't tell you much.
[00:48] <shawnharn> ohh
[00:48] <astheglorious> I mean to install using ndiswrapper
[00:48] <shawnharn> does anyone know the channel for wine
[00:48] <tritium> shawnharn: I have no use for wine.  I'm not a gamer, and I don't run any MS software.
[00:48] <Starnestommy> shawnharn: I think it's #winehq
[00:48] <shawnharn> ok
[00:48] <astheglorious> should I install winXp, 2000, 98 or me?
[00:48] <astheglorious> drivers?
[00:49] <paarth> ah I love splitvt
[00:49] <Starnestommy> astheglorious: probably XP
[00:49] <astheglorious> with ndiswrapper
[00:49] <pushkal> zagabog: it cant find the file.. i typed ' less /etc/X11/xserver.conf' (it said no such file or directory)
[00:49] <alastaire> can i please have some assistance
[00:49] <gyaresu> pushkal: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:50] <console-irssithe> acefalo: teste
[00:50] <gyaresu> !ask | alastaire
[00:50] <ubotu> alastaire: 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. :-)
[00:50] <alastaire> >_>
[00:50] <tritium> shawnharn: good luck!  :)
[00:50] <alastaire> I am trying to emulate team fortress 2 via wine, but I want to disable xgl and compiz fusion, what is the best way to do that temporarily?
[00:50] <Nuke_> is there a gutsy to hardy upgrade script?
[00:51] <shawnharn> thanks man
[00:51] <Nuke_> alastaire: "metacity --replace", then "compiz --replace && emerald --replace" when you're done
[00:51] <alastaire> ok thanks peace out sons
[00:52] <gyaresu> alastaire: You could install another window manager to run it in. just hit ctrl+alt+backspace and choose the really simple one to then run the game in.
[00:52] <pushkal> zagabog: i found the device section..it shows generic video card, driver= nvidia , busid is also correct... gyaresu please look into it
[00:52] <zagabog> pushkal: ah! xorg.conf
[00:52] <gotgnu> I have a problem, I am using ubuntu 64bit and I have a very cool them install I can't remember the name. The thing is I use firefox 32bit so I can use flash but firefox doesn't use my "cool theme" is there a way to get it to use my theme ?
[00:53] <gyaresu> pushkal: What's he problem with gfx?
[00:53] <napii> Could some one help me getting email to work please? Am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[00:53] <vito_> uffa ma parlate tutti in inglese ?
[00:54] <pushkal> gyaresu: when booting,after splash screen(loading...) the screen is black

[00:54] <ubotu> vito: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[00:54] <LiquidIKon> ok was wondering how do i change the default file manager to kusader so nautilus doesnt open up everytime
[00:54] <gyaresu> pushkal: after installing nvidia drivers right?
[00:54] <emja> dang. clever bot
[00:54] <pushkal> gyaresu: yes.
[00:54] <mado> oy guys ...
[00:54] <mado> sorry but erm ...
[00:55] <Dr_willis> LiquidIKon,  using krusader a kde app under gnome for the file manager? thats.. odd. :)
[00:55] <mado> will there be any files or data saved when i'm starting the computer with the live-cd?
[00:55] <matteo_> hallo
[00:55] <Starnestommy> mado: no
[00:55] <cutewhitedaisy> hello matteo
[00:55] <paarth> Dr_willis: sometimes KDE apps are better than their gnome equivalents :) IMO Kate is better than gedit
[00:56] <paarth> so I don't think it's all that odd, personally
[00:56] <mado> so ... when i save a file / a bookmark / or surf the net ... i can't find the file again Starnestommy?
[00:57] <LiquidIKon> i was just wondering due to the fact i like the dual pane windows with the term emulator
[00:57] <emja> mado: unless you mount a USB key or store similarly? no
[00:57] <cutewhitedaisy> does anyone know of a utility to list exported library functions?
[00:57] <paarth> mado: no, you'd have to save a backu
[00:57] <paarth> p
[00:57] <gyaresu> pushkal: so you can get to a command line by ctrl+alt+F2
[00:57] <mado> uhuu ... thank you
[00:58] <mado> so i guess i have to save the file i wrote ... i will send me an email
[00:58] <emja> mado: a customer of mine does that. 120 livecd installs of ubuntu, usb keys for all users
[00:58] <robdig> cutewhitedaisy: google
[00:58] <krim> Hi I have a weird white square on the screen that won't go away. I can move the mouse over it but I can't click it. At first I didn't see it, only noticed I couldn't click there but after turning off visual effects I saw it. Any ideas? Maybe a crashed app?
[00:58] <cutewhitedaisy> google reveals nothing
[00:58] <emja> timing... is everything
[00:58] <pushkal> gyaresu: i didnt try ctrl+alt+f2.. i went to recovery mode instead and got the cmdline
[00:58] <pushkal>  gyaresu: i think the vga compatible controller is at 00:12.0 but xorg points to 00:18.0 should i edit
[00:59] <gyaresu> pushkal: is it an nvidia card?
[00:59] <paarth> te
[00:59] <paarth> sorry
[00:59] <pushkal> gyresu: yes..it sure is
[01:00] <pushkal> gyaresu: it is
[01:00] <gyaresu> pushkal: nvidia-settings runs in command line mode. I'm just seeing if we can use it to set your card at some sensible defaults.
[01:00] <gyaresu> pushkal: (worth installing anyway)
[01:01] <gyaresu> pushkal: you can type the first couple of letters of a name and hit TAB to auto complete a nick.
[01:01] <pushkal> which client ?
[01:01] <Starnestommy> pushkal: almost any client
[01:01] <pushkal> gyaresu: got it
[01:01] <pushkal> got it
[01:02] <pushkal> thanks :)
[01:02] <qcjn_> hi, i have an external hd that i would like to share with the other computer on my network, so that ubuntu or window could acces
[01:02] <lee_> WHat's a good video editing program for noobs?
[01:02] <pushkal> gyaresu: so what should i do next ?
[01:02] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, good evening, good morning wherever you are
[01:02] <astheglorious> is there some way to get the same sort of program bar as in Mac OS X?
[01:02] <zagabog> pushkal: you could try to reconfigure xorg using the 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' command and select the nv driver, this might get things running initially
[01:03]  * astheglorious is a mac fanboy
[01:03] <AutoMatriX> question: can someone help me to synchronise a nokia 6610 cellphone with Evolution ?
[01:03] <nDuff> astheglorious, you mean put the menu bar from whichever program is active at the top of the screen?
[01:03] <gyaresu> Seveas: I'm sure you added this to ubotu before when I asked nicely but do you reckon we could get a 'hit tab for nick completion' type factoid please?
[01:03] <alanbshepard70> I'm trying to convert many videos from one folder to mp4, how do I modify the typical command to do this automatically? I use pypodconv -i /home/username/movie.flv -o /home/username/outmovie.mp4 currently.
[01:03] <lee_> WHat's a good video editing program for noobs?
[01:03] <nDuff> astheglorious, that would need to be supported in every individual widget set... so I don't think it's particularly likely to happen.
[01:03] <robdig> astheglorious: try awn
[01:03] <krim> I have several processes names /usr/bin/revela which I believe is Revelation, I can't seem to kill them from System Monitor, how can I shut them down?
[01:03] <gyaresu> lee_: Your own video footage? 'kino'
[01:04] <prince_jammys> astheglorious: kde can do it. i don't know about gnome
[01:04] <georgy_28> lee_,  or kdenlive
[01:04] <nDuff> astheglorious, or are you talking about the dock?
[01:04] <astheglorious> nah, I want that cool bar at the bottom of Leopard in which you can put programs
[01:04] <ar0nic> #ubuntu-offtopic unable to join channel (address is banned)
[01:04] <astheglorious> yeah, the dock
[01:04] <ar0nic> anyone willing to help with this?
[01:04] <ar0nic> as ive only been to the channel once.
[01:04] <lee_> Its for something recorded with Istanbul
[01:04] <ar0nic> isnt there a mod call or something of the sort?
[01:04] <pushkal> zagabog: dosent exec.
[01:04] <nDuff> astheglorious, ohh, the *dock*. what kind of mac fanboi are you if you don't know what things are called? :) -- yes, there are several implementations of that.
[01:04] <schizzo> sufòpjhdoò
[01:05] <astheglorious> nDuff: a bad fanboi :D
[01:05] <pushkal> gyaresu: next steps ?? btw .how do i edit xorg.conf ?
[01:05] <astheglorious> what's a good dock?
[01:05] <zagabog> pushkal: if you are not in as root you need to use sudo in front of the command
[01:05] <lee_> Its for something recorded with Istanbul, what should I use it edit it?
[01:05] <gyaresu> pushkal: 'sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf' If you're familiar with vi/vim. If you're not then try 'vimtutor'
[01:05] <nDuff> astheglorious, someone here already mentioned http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/
[01:05] <zhangl> hello
[01:06] <astheglorious> is that for gnome?
[01:06] <zhangl> I am a new user of ubuntu
[01:06] <zhangl> i have a question in using xmgrace on ubuntu
[01:06] <pushkal> zagabog: ok..im tryin
[01:06] <zhangl> could anyone supply any help?
[01:06] <nDuff> astheglorious, yes, it's for GNOME.
[01:06] <gyaresu> !ask | zhangl
[01:06] <astheglorious> cool
[01:06] <ubotu> zhangl: 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. :-)
[01:07] <zhangl> thanks.
[01:07] <zagabog> pushkal: if you edit the file manually and you'r not a command line ninja you could use nano a fairly straight forward editor for humans without CLUE
[01:07] <zhangl> when I typed xmgrace on command line, i got following error message:
[01:08] <zhangl> xmgrace: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
[01:08] <zhangl> anyone knows why that can happen?
[01:08] <astheglorious> linker error. :O
[01:08] <zhangl> i used gutsy, ubuntu 7.10
[01:08] <pushkal> zagabog: thanks.. but im into the dpkg-reconfigure thingy now.. now what bus address should i give it ?
[01:08] <astheglorious> probably your standard library is fubar
[01:09] <nDuff> zhangl, you installed this via the apt/aptitude/equivalent, or by downloading a package yourself?
[01:09] <zagabog> OK the address you found for the device in the lspci listing. It need to be translated from hex to decimal though
[01:10] <zagabog> pushkal: OK the address you found for the device in the lspci listing. It need to be translated from hex to decimal though
[01:10] <zhangl> I intalled it using sudo apt-get grace command
[01:10] <NeoGeo64> Someone told me that running Linux on a computer can increase the hardware's lifespan
[01:10] <NeoGeo64> is this true
[01:10] <astheglorious> NeoGeo64: probably exagerated
[01:10] <NeoGeo64> oh
[01:10] <astheglorious> you know how the linux fanboys are ;)
[01:10] <nDuff> NeoGeo64, not so much in terms of when the hardware fails; more in terms of when the hardware is considered too old to be useful with new software.
[01:10] <zhangl> I used the ubuntu packages it has
[01:10] <zhangl> not packages outside
[01:11] <gyaresu> NeoGeo64: They may have meant the Linux operating system will run on REALLY old computers. This sort of question is best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:11] <zagabog> NeoGeo64: Only from the point of view that its not as resource hungry as windows so older kit is still worth using
[01:11] <NeoGeo64> gyaresu: ok
[01:11] <lee_> Its for something recorded with Istanbul, what should I use it edit it? Its a .ogg file
[01:11] <nDuff> zhangl, I don't know -- I'm running hardy, and can't reproduce the issue here.
[01:11] <tash> Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0) were not met How to install that glib? I can't find it using aptitude!
[01:12] <zhangl> But thanks anyway.
[01:12] <Sonderblade> how do you check which package installed a certain file?
[01:12] <RavenTrigun> I have a question. Im interested in learning how to Edit Ubuntu's Open source and such is there a guide that can teach me?
[01:12] <nDuff> NeoGeo64, there might be some exceptions -- on transmeta-based processors, for instance, Linux has much better power management than Windows, so it might actually extend the physical hardware's useful life.
[01:12] <lee_> Its for something recorded with Istanbul, what should I use it edit it? Its a .ogg file.
[01:12] <zhangl> the real problem is that, when i used xmgrace to make a figure in .agr format, it could not be saved correctly.
[01:12] <robdig> lee_: audacity can edit ogg files
[01:12] <zhangl> When  i tried to reload it, its content will be changed
[01:12] <gyaresu> Sonderblade: apt-file
[01:13] <tash> please help

[01:14] <emja> adinc: user support
[01:14] <Sonderblade> gyaresu: read my question again, apt-file doesn't work for that

[01:16] <nikrud> Sonderblade dpkg -S /path/to/file , unless it's generated
[01:17] <zhangl> I used ubuntu 7.10, installed grace by using sudo apt-get install command, whenever i typed in xmgrace command, it showed me following error message: xmgrace: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking. Using ubuntu to draw a figure, it could not be save correctly in .agr format, when reloading it, it content is changed. anyone know how to solve it? thanks a lot.
[01:17] <Sonderblade> nikrud: it is generated :)
[01:17] <Nuke_> upgrading gutsy to hardy. is there more involved than just new packages?
[01:17] <Nuke_> do i need to run a script?
[01:17] <nikrud> Sonderblade what file?
[01:17] <Scunizi> amortvigil, I found this on google. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/creative-zen-507207/

[01:18] <nikrud> ah, a very interesting question.
[01:18] <adinc> i'm new to ubuntu, i used debian before, i installed hardy onto my relatifly new notebook, i took this version in order to have as much as possible hardware support with the distribution. now i have a wireless device from intel called Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABC NetworkConnection, i can see this device with iwconfig and ifconfig, but the ubuntu tool in the pannel is not able to make a connection ot my wep encrypted network. iwlist scanning also doesn't display my wir
[01:18] <user01> how do i change mouse animation?  it just reset to default x-window wristwatch thing
[01:18] <pushkal> gyaresu: thanks a ton.. ive got my screen back !
[01:18] <gyaresu> pushkal: What fixed it in the end?
[01:18] <macpo3> can I do anything to a symlink that points at a directory so that open / save file dialogs treat it as a directory instead of a file?
[01:18] <kavelot> my ubuntu stop showing the "Shutdown" option... it just shows suspend/hibernate... how can I fix that?
[01:19] <joe__> any idea's?

[01:20] <pushkal> bbbye !
[01:21] <amortvigil> Scunizi thanks but all those players only support old creative products
[01:21] <macpo3> nikrud yes, but kate is seeing the symlink as a file, not as a directory
[01:21] <user01> where do i configure mouse animation in gnome?
[01:21] <macpo3> in the file open dialog
[01:21] <nikrud> macpo3 any other app doing that? If not, it's a bug in kate
[01:21] <umer> hello everyone, ive been using ubuntu since december now, and monday i am getting my new laptop from HP. it has an nvidia 8400m gs video card, with hdmi out. I was wondering if I will be able to output to my HDTV via HDMI (I have hdmi on the tv). and if so, if I audio through the hdmi is supported, any ideas?
[01:21] <WillieDaPimp> willie@harvey:~$ sudo apt-get install opera   Reading package lists... Done   Segmentation faulty tree... 50%
[01:22] <adinc> is the principle of ubuntu the same as debian? like placing files, installing packages? is it ok to make use of the same tools like apt etc.?
[01:22] <zagabog> pushkal: now you can add the nvidia driver buy selecting the higher option on the widow decoration, it'll prompt you for it. Then you can add compiz fusion eye candy too.
[01:22] <nikrud> Segmentation faulty tree , haven't seen that in a while
[01:22] <WillieDaPimp> i installed two sticks of 1GB ram and now i get seg faults with apt-get, firefox, and hardinfo
[01:22] <tangentbuntu> hey, I need to set up mysql
[01:22] <benjamin> i'm thinking of creating an application that creates simple gui's based on profiles that outlines command flags and arguments. handy for newbies. what do you think?
[01:22] <WillieDaPimp> firefox won't even load anymore
[01:22] <tangentbuntu> what is the package name?
[01:22] <zagabog> pushkal: perhaps tommorrow ;-)
[01:22] <tangentbuntu> let me compress that question
[01:23] <Gman99999> I can't get my sound to load on my laptop running kubuntu can anyone point in the direction to solving this problem?
[01:23] <Sonderblade> benjamin: sounds cool
[01:23] <gyaresu> adinc: Very much so but ubuntu is doing a lot of things differently. So yes, the tools are the same (mostly) but don't expect everything to be in the same place.
[01:23] <Adin> hello all
[01:23] <c0da> hey
[01:23] <nikrud> WillieDaPimp http://www.deanlee.cn/linux/apt-get-segmentation-faulty-tree/
[01:23] <c0da> i messed up my mouse sensitivity
[01:23] <c0da> how can i reset it?
[01:23] <tangentbuntu> Hello, my fellow ubuntu-ites, I need to set up a mysql server so I can run SAM Broadcaster through it
[01:23] <c0da> like defaults
[01:23] <nikrud> WildZeck ah, not that problem. Try running the memtest on the bootup screen, I had bad memory
[01:23] <macpo3> nikrud, bluefish sees it as a file too, but ls -l shows the link
[01:23] <adrian2002ca> so, i am a pretty good programmer. how do i start developing for ubuntu?
[01:24] <nikrud> WillieDaPimp ^^
[01:24] <DOONDOON> anyone familiar with Old Bushmill's
[01:24] <adinc> gyaresu: can you point me to a documentation which could give me an overview?
[01:24] <prince_jammys> !develop | adrian2002ca
[01:24] <ubotu> adrian2002ca: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[01:24] <adrian2002ca> (although im a lil bit of a noob in ubuntu
[01:24] <esaym> will I mess anything up if I upgrade kernel from 686 to amd64?  I have an amd64 cpu
[01:24] <gyaresu> tangentbuntu: have you tried following one of the many thousand mysql install guides (or their excellent documentation)?
[01:24] <WillieDaPimp> nikrud, thanks, if its bad mem then what?? put in the old mem or try each individual stick of the new ram?
[01:25] <zagabog> adrian2002ca: try asking on #ubuntu-dev
[01:25] <gyaresu> esaym: If you have to ask then I would reckomend sticking with the one you've got. You would need to re-install anyway to do that. 64bit has virtually no difference to most people.
[01:25] <nikrud> WillieDaPimp that's what I did. When it failed the test, I tested each stick separately until I found the bad on
[01:25] <adrian2002ca> zagabog: thanks
[01:25] <Adin> i have a problem
[01:25] <benjamin> it would be handy for things like b43 and ssh, most likely written in c.
[01:25] <chdst> adinc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuForDebianDevelopers?action=show&redirect=DebianCollaboration
[01:25] <macpo3> nikrud, tried deleting and recreating the symlink, no joy
[01:25] <gyaresu> adinc: comparison between debian & ubuntu. No not really.
[01:25] <Arrick> whats the syntax to login to mysql on 6.06?
[01:25] <Arrick> (new to mysql)
[01:26] <c0da> how can i reset my mouse speed?
[01:26] <tangentbuntu> ah screw it
[01:26] <chdst> Pardon my unneccarily long link :)
[01:26] <adinc> chdst: gyaresu thank you
[01:26] <gyaresu> chdst: nice link ^^ thanks.
[01:27] <prince_jammys> Arrick: try mysql -u root -p database_name
[01:27] <esaym> gyaresu: why would I have to reinstall?  A 64 bit kernel can not load 32bit libraries?
[01:27] <Adin> i want to output to both my lcd screen and my tv, i have the x driver
[01:27] <adinc> when running glxgears what framerate is about acceptable? about 1100FPS? the gears turn quite well here but when i move the window it moves a copy of it
[01:27] <Arrick> prince_jammys, there is no db
[01:27] <esaym> but the kernel comes with new libraries?
[01:27] <Arrick> I need to create it lol
[01:27] <gyaresu> esaym: All your software needs to be compiled for 64bit procesor.
[01:27] <prince_jammys> Arrick: did you make a password?
[01:27] <nikrud> macpo3 very strange, I did a ln -s ~/projects testlinks , and it worked here. bluefish anyway
[01:27] <Arrick> yeah, when I installed
[01:28] <prince_jammys> Arrick: then do mysql -u root -p
[01:28] <pretender> Can anyone help me out with creating a DVD Case Cover in GLabels
[01:28] <Arrick> prince_jammys, its not letting me access it with root
[01:29] <esaym> gyaresu: yes I keep hearing that.  But you can run any 32 bit software on a native amd64 install.  I don't see why changing the kernel would make everything not work (I think I am going to try it and find out..)
[01:29] <Arrick> or my other user
[01:29] <joe__> Hey guys, i can't access synaptic, update manager, add/remove, or software sessions unless going through terminal.  I think it may have something to do with the latest hardy updates, anyone have any idea's?
[01:30] <macpo3> ok, should a symlink that's also a directory have a directory bit set?
[01:30] <prince_jammys> joe__: try #ubuntu+1 for hardy issues
[01:30] <Arrick> its version 5.0.22
[01:30] <robdig> Arrick: is the server running? ps -ef|grep mysql
[01:30] <prince_jammys> Arrick: i don't know then. that's what i use
[01:30] <DOONDOON> he said "fish"
[01:30] <gyaresu> Arrick: you might like a gui to use mysql kmysqladmin is handy but there are others.
[01:31] <Adin> i want to output to both my lcd screen and my tv, i have the x driver
[01:31] <Arrick> gyaresu, I dont even have a gui on the server
[01:32] <Arrick> robdig, when I run that, what am I looking for from the output?
[01:32] <gyaresu> Arrick: remote server. you're trying to login to mysql and can't? but you're sure it's running?
[01:32] <gyaresu> Arrick: Are you following the installation documentation?
[01:32] <Pirate_Hunter> Ive just installed a new hd, how do i update fstab without having to restart the system?
[01:32] <robdig> Arrick: if you get more than one line of output, then it is running
[01:32] <Arrick> of course I did
[01:32] <Arrick> its running robdig
[01:32] <robdig> Arrick: but the server is called mysqld
[01:33] <Arrick> mysql     4726  4665  0 15:10 pts/0    00:00:02 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr
[01:33] <xb3rt> is beryl worth it compared to the compiz cube?
[01:33] <Arrick> thats in there robdig
[01:33] <robdig> Arrick: you might be able to get more help in #mysql
[01:33] <prince_jammys> Pirate_Hunter: update fstab and remount the drive.
[01:33] <obiwannekody> xb3rt, beryl is dead.  it's compiz fusion now
[01:33] <zhangl> anyone has answer to my question?
[01:33] <Gman99999> I'm getting seriously pissed off with kubuntu, I can't navigate any web pages with firefox but I can with Konqerer
[01:34] <obiwannekody> xb3rt, and i find that compiz fusion is better than compiz, although i guess you can configure and install plugins to make one work like the other
[01:34] <Gman99999> wtf is wrong?
[01:34] <chdst> xb3rt: beryl + compiz = compiz-fusion (sorta). Beryl has been officially unsupported by its creators for a long time now.
[01:34] <Pirate_Hunter> prince_jammys: huh??? whats the command in terminal to update the fstab, it already contains the hd info
[01:34] <navetz_> does anyone here know how to use ispconfig?
[01:34] <xb3rt> so if i upgrade compiz to fusion i should be good
[01:34] <tata> hello
[01:34] <gyaresu> Gman99999: Mind your language. And see if you've set a proxy or similar in firefox.
[01:34] <Gman99999> gyaresu I've set nothing of the sort
[01:35] <prince_jammys> Pirate_Hunter: what is the mount point of the drive?
[01:35] <tata> how do u covert flv files??
[01:35] <gyaresu> navetz_: Yeah. Is it installed on ubuntu?
[01:35] <navetz_> gyaresu: its installed on (K)ubuntu
[01:35] <Pirate_Hunter> prince_jammys: /media/sdb1
[01:35] <navetz_> gyaresu: can you help me out a bit, I can't seem to get it working
[01:36] <tata> ive used youtube-dl
[01:36] <navetz_> gyaresu: http://navetz.homelinux.com/
[01:36] <prince_jammys> Pirate_Hunter: then do sudo umount /media/sdb1 followed by sudo mount /media/sdb1
[01:36] <navetz_> gyaresu: i cant get anything except that page
[01:36] <tata> the files are too large
[01:36] <gyaresu> tata try 'clive'
[01:36] <rryan> tata : this guide might help you http://www.linux.com/articles/56642
[01:36] <Gman99999> I don't understand why firefox can't load a page it doesnt make any sense to me
[01:36] <Pirate_Hunter> prince_jammys: kk
[01:37] <Gman99999> now I know why people say linux isn't ready if this kind of crap goes on
[01:37] <prince_jammys> Pirate_Hunter: or just sudo mount /media/sdb1
[01:37] <emja> Gman99999: firefox != linux
[01:37] <Starnestommy> Gman99999: do you have any extensions or add-ons loaded in firefox?
[01:37] <gyaresu> navetz_: Your root is stuffed i reckon. There should be a captive page running. Did you follow a guide?
[01:38] <rryan> tata : note that you'll need to install 'mencoder', you can get it using synaptic or apt-get/aptitude
[01:38] <navetz_> gyaresu: no I couldn't find one actually, do you know of any?
[01:38] <navetz_> gyaresu: all I could find was german stuff
[01:38] <Gman99999> No extensions no add-ons pure simple plain firefox that works when i use it on other other wireless networks
[01:38] <gyaresu> navetz_: yeah. wait one.
[01:38] <tash> What is Composite extension?
[01:38] <gyaresu> navetz_: http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm
[01:39] <adinc> unfortunately noone in ubuntu+1 to give a hand, i would like to get my wireless working, could i ask here for help?
[01:39] <Gman99999> n/m I figured it out
[01:39] <navetz_> gyaresu: thanks, btw this is a direct link to the directory, http://stevan.homelinux.com
[01:39] <obiwannekody> tash, it is what is used for desktop 3d effects
[01:39] <rryan> Gman99999 : Is your wired network interface activated ? If you do not have it plugged in, you might want to try deactivating it. It could be that firefox is attempting to use the wired, while your wireless is the only one connected.
[01:39] <Bozza> hi
[01:39] <gyaresu> navetz_: And last one i followed was one of the Ubuntu ones at bottom. (7.04 i think)
[01:39] <navetz_> gyaresu if you could take a look there and tell me what I should delete
[01:39] <navetz_> gyaresu k ill read it
[01:39] <Gman99999> is there any way to get sound to work on linux?
[01:39] <gyaresu> Gman99999: have a look at the command 'route' (from the command line)
[01:40] <rryan> Gman99999 : Out of curiousity, what was the problem ?
[01:40] <tash> obiwannekody: sure :) if effects refuse to start without it. but how to enable it?
[01:40] <Gman99999> tor was on
[01:40] <obiwannekody> tash, what is your video card/gpu?
[01:40] <gyaresu> navetz_: Is this a test setup? Or are those sites live. Becuase I know that you'll want to start from scratch with the howtoforge articles.
[01:40] <rryan> Gman99999 : I see. Sound works usually very well. There is some hardware that is finicky with it. Is sound not working for you currently?
[01:40] <Krozy> Gman99999: That's interesting.. You're saying with TOR enabled, Firefox wouldn't work, but Konqueror would
[01:41] <Gman99999> rryan hey Ive goten sound to work before but now it won't work at all go figure
[01:41] <gyaresu> Gman99999: And you must have set it as a proxy from within firefox... "He shoots, he scores!"
[01:41] <Gman99999> krozy yea i didnt even remember installing the tor
[01:41] <Bozza> does any one have any experience in making websites and hosting them on their own url
[01:42] <rryan> Gman99999 : From teh commandline, type "aplay -l" this should list your sound devices the system recognizes.
[01:42] <rryan> Gman99999 : is your soundcard listed ?
[01:42] <obiwannekody> tash, how you turn them on depends on your video hardware
[01:42] <Gman99999> rryan yes it is listed
[01:42]  * gyaresu owns a website development company :)
[01:42] <gyaresu> Bozza: What's the prob :)
[01:42]  * captaingeek farted
[01:42] <Bozza> basically i registered a domain name
[01:42] <Bozza> and i linked it to a free webspace
[01:43] <Bozza> and i get this error
[01:43] <xb3rt> the cube rotation sure doesn't like the water effect
[01:43] <rryan> Gman99999 : try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav"
[01:43] <Bozza> DNS lookup failure for...
[01:43] <Bozza> gyaresu . i have probably done something wrong
[01:43] <rryan> Gman99999 : if you don't hear anything, then the problem is probably with Alsa, if not then it's probably with KDE interfacing with alsa
[01:43] <gyaresu> Bozza: Where is your dns controled from. The registrar you bought the domain from or somewhere else?
[01:43] <Gman99999> rryan ok i didnt hear any sound at all
[01:44] <rryan> Gman99999 : also, as a quick check, type 'alsamixer' and make sure that all the channels have the volume turned up
[01:44] <gyaresu> rryan: (or muted)
[01:44] <Bozza> i think its the registrar .. all i know is its on default
[01:44] <rryan> gyaresu : or muted, yea :)
[01:44] <Gman99999> rryan all channels are up and none are muted
[01:44] <Gman99999> I've done this part before
[01:45] <Gman99999> rryan Ive done this part before
[01:45] <Bozza> gyaresu: but the two nameservers are pointing to the free web space provider
[01:45] <gyaresu> Bozza: K. You need to point the DNS at the ip of the host. So do you know where it's hosted and what the static ip is?
[01:45] <ctgPi> I've installed ubuntu-desktop on top of an Ubuntu Server intallation, and I'm playing around with X tunneling via ssh
[01:45] <rryan> Gman99999 : hm.. ok .. do you have a PCI soundcard or internal ?
[01:45] <ctgPi> gedit and gnome-terminal work as expected
[01:45] <Gman99999> rryan its a laptop a newer hp laptop
[01:45] <computer_> hi, how do i make VLC my default player for DVD, videos, etc? whenever i put a dvd totem tries to play
[01:45] <Bozza> gyaresu: its  a site called .. www.oxyhostsfree.com . shall i ping it to find its ip ?
[01:46] <ctgPi> but when I try to run Firefox, the LOCAL Firefox opens
[01:46] <Gman99999> rryan so i'd say its probably internal
[01:46] <rryan> Gman99999 : yea...  hm.. was there only one soundcard listed when you typed aplay -l ?
[01:46] <nikrud> computer_ system->prefs->removable media
[01:47] <Gman99999> rryan two an analog conextant and a digital conextant
[01:47] <gyaresu> Bozza: Wait a sec. I'll have a look. Where'd you register the domain and what is the domain name. join me in #gyaresu if you don't want to say publicly (not that you know who i am anyway ;)
[01:47] <Gman99999> rryan conexant**
[01:47] <rryan> Gman99999 : I know that sometimes the default soundcard gets messed up when I have both an internal and PCI sound card.. that's because the default one gets chosen wrong and it ends up picking the one that's not connected to anything... shrug
[01:47] <Bozza> ok thanks so much :)
[01:47] <rryan> Gman99999 : Hm.. ok it's possible that it's playing to the wrong one then..
[01:47] <ctgPi> Is there something I'm missing in ssh or sshd configuration?
[01:48] <adinc> is there at least a ubuntu wireless howto somewhere?
[01:48] <rryan> try aplay -D 0 /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[01:48] <computer_> what do i put in the commend line? or where is vlc located ?
[01:48] <prince_jammys> !wireless | adinc
[01:48] <ubotu> adinc: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:48] <computer_> nikrud
[01:48] <adinc> ok
[01:48] <rryan> gman99999 : then try aplay -D 1 /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[01:48] <Gman99999> rryan got an error with the first command says no such file or directory
[01:49] <Bozza> gyaresu:ive opened a chat session ... but actually i dont mind talking about it here
[01:49] <Bozza> www.exclusive-events.co.uk
[01:49] <px> what command shows me the devices listed and connected in xorg?
[01:49] <navetz_> gyaresu: this is a test setup
[01:49] <Gman99999> rryan and got an error with the second one too
[01:49] <rryan> Gman99999 : hm, ok maybe startup.wav doesn't come with kubuntu :)  hm.. can you pick any sound file in /usr/share/sounds/ and try to play it ?
[01:49] <gyaresu> Bozza: k. so the first thing to do is have a look at your dns 'dig +trace www.exclusive-events.co.uk'
[01:49] <navetz_> gyaresu: Also I have no idea what my nameservers are
[01:50] <Bozza> from terminal ?
[01:50] <computer_> nikrud, what do i put for Command? or where is VLC located?
[01:50] <nikrud> computer_ /usr/bin/vlc %<something, not in gutsy at the moment)
[01:50] <crabgrass> so, is it a good idea to go for 64 bit ubuntu over 32 bit? how many apps are supported? does flash work yet?
[01:50] <rahmen> Hi! I'm trying to make my TV work as a second desktop.. I can't make it work with correct resolutions on both my monitor and the TV.... I'm having different resolutions on them (1280x1024 on monitor and 640x480 on TV).. can this be a problem or is it something else?
[01:50] <navetz_> so I cant host domains from somehwere else
[01:50] <computer_> ok thnx
[01:50] <gyaresu> navetz_: I'd nuke it and start again. Following one of the guides. (the email part with is hard. postfix is annoying)
[01:50] <navetz_> gyaresu: is there a quick way to re-install it?
[01:51] <rryan> gman99999 : oh nevermind.. it cant find the device.. (i just tried it on mine) hangon a sec
[01:51] <gyaresu> navetz_: 'dig' is the command to see nameservers for a domain.
[01:51] <Bozza> ok ive run the command .. i see my domain name ,, and my name server .. but i dont see the dns
[01:52] <Gman99999> rryan just tried some sounds and none of them work yayyyyy...
[01:52] <stinkfist> When running a shell script i'm having problems with variables that have dashes.. like FTPDIR="/home/user/test-data"
[01:52] <stinkfist> What am i doing wrong?
[01:52] <Bozza> gyaresu: i am not sure which one of them is the dns
[01:52] <rryan> Gman99999 : can you type aplay --list-pcms and paste it into a pastebin ?
[01:53] <Bozza> gyaresu: Btw the registrar is www.123-reg.co.uk
[01:53] <gyaresu> Bozza: have a look at this while i figure out what's going on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system
[01:53] <Bozza> ok thanks loads
[01:53] <peachcobbler> i compiled a kernel module for my tv tuner, and when i open tvtime, it works, but there is no sound
[01:53] <Tournicoti> i have a strange question.. how do i go about removing a cdrom drive from an installed system.. when i so , i get strange errors on boot , my route gets messed with , my shorewall doesn't start .... all because i remove a cdrom.. is thee some file i should edit to do this safely ?
[01:54] <navetz_> gyaresu: when I use dig, which one would it be? there are a bunch of different ROOT.SERVERS.NET listed
[01:54] <crabgrass> ...anyone?
[01:54] <Tournicoti> my system also halts at mdadm for some time
[01:54] <Gman99999> rryan here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/m717594f3

[01:55] <shawnharn> all my processes are sleeping and not saying there working!!! why is this how do i fix it?
[01:55] <rryan> Gman99999 : try "aplay -D default:CARD=NVidia /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav"
[01:56] <gyaresu> navetz_: 'dig thing.com A' to get your A record or MX for mail exchange (man dig)
[01:56] <tata> how do u covert flv files?? in a simple way
[01:56] <Gman99999> rryan nothing no sound
[01:56] <gyaresu> navetz_: You should also have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system
[01:56] <rryan> Gman99999 : Since it's a laptop, are you trying to hear things out of the headphone port or out of the speakers on the laptop ?
[01:57] <tata> flvtoavi.sh does not wk
[01:57] <Gman99999> rryan maybe more than one program is using the alsa mixer which is causing a problem?
[01:57] <Gman99999> rryan speakers
[01:57] <robdig> shawnharn: that is normal
[01:57] <dmakalsky> Hi, I ran update-manager -d and now I am running hardy ... how do I revert back?
[01:57] <computer_> how do i make VLC my preferred application under Multimedia? what do i type under Command?
[01:57] <dmakalsky> is there some kind of downgrade-manager -d ?
[01:57] <navetz_> gyaresu: thanks a lot man, you have been a huge help.
[01:57] <shawnharn> okay
[01:58] <robdig> downgrade | dmakalsky
[01:58] <dmakalsky> that's it?
[01:58] <robdig> !downgrade | dmakalsky
[01:58] <ubotu> dmakalsky: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[01:58] <rryan> Gman99999 : Hm... AFAIK  alsa is designed so that multiple programs can all play sound at once, so I don't know if that would be the problem. The bottom line is that if aplay doesn't work then the problem is somewhere between hardware<->kernel<->drivers<->alsa
[01:58] <tata> aaah shucks
[01:58] <robdig> dmakalsky: sorry, left off the trigger...
[01:58] <dmakalsky> robdig:  so I am screwed?
[01:58] <nebnav> does anyone know how to convert .avi files to the dvd file structure containing .vob fils and VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS?
[01:59] <krushr> hello world
[01:59] <gyaresu> Bozza: You need to edit your dns at http://www.oxyhostsfree.com You also don't have a CNAME entry to point to the canonical name (no www.)
[01:59] <gyaresu> navetz_: np
[01:59] <darkcrab> how do you accidentally upgrade, I still havent figured that one out.
[01:59] <rryan> Gman99999 : The laptop doesn't have a hardware volume control anywhere does it? I know mine has a little slider on the side that works independently of hte volume set on the computer. (Sorry for the stupid question)
[01:59] <ouellettesr> hello how do i make a bin file executable?
[01:59] <rahmen> Anyone who knows if having a TV as second desktop with a _different_ resolution than the monitor will cause a problem? I can't make it work.. so just want to know if the different resolutions are the problem, or if it most likely is something else..
[01:59] <Gman99999> rryan its all working and all on and unmuted
[01:59] <Starnestommy> ouellettesr: chmod +x file.bin
[01:59] <robdig> dmakalsky: you can re-install...if your /home is on a separate partition, then everything will be pretty good...would have to reinstall packages
[01:59] <ouellettesr> thanks
[01:59] <computer_> how do i make VLC my preferred application under Multimedia? what do i type under Command?.
[01:59] <Bozza> gyaresu: haha how do you know all that .. shit .. u really know ur stuff well :-)
[02:00] <darkcrab> is your system running okay dmal?
[02:00] <Gman99999> rryan i've had sound work on this laptop before when i followed a guide to get ti working before
[02:00] <dmakalsky> robdig: is wireless not working a known issue in hardy?
[02:00] <Gman99999> rryan then it stopped i guess after i rebooted
[02:00] <dmakalsky> really, if I can fix that, I can use it
[02:00] <Bozza> gyaresu: so on oxyhostsfree there should be a setting to edit the dns .. right ?
[02:00] <krushr> rahmen, its just like an external monitor, just different interface - you just need to make sure your xorg is set right and if you have teh right xandr commands
[02:00] <nebnav> speaking of bins, how do you create a .bin? like an .img?
[02:00] <robdig> dmakalsky: dunno, try asking in #ubuntu+1, hardy isn't supported on this channel
[02:00] <rryan> Gman99999 : gotcha.. hm what do you get when you type 'lspci | grep Audio'
[02:00] <dmakalsky> ok, thx
[02:00] <computer_> any1?
[02:01] <darkcrab> was your wireless working in 7.10
[02:01] <rahmen> krushr: ok thnx.. you're willing to guide me through or should I google it? :P
[02:01] <gyaresu> Bozza: yEP.
[02:01] <Bozza> ok 1 sec ill look for it .. what do i change the dns to ?
[02:01] <Gman99999> rryan 00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)
[02:01] <krim> I have a folder with pictures that have random names. How would I rename these to picture1.jpg picture2.jpg and so on?
[02:01] <computer_> how do i make VLC my Preferred Application under Multimedia? what do i type under Command?.
[02:02] <Starnestommy> computer_: go to system > preferences > preferred applications > multimedia.  I don't think there's a way to do it from a terminal
[02:02] <krim> If you right click the media file and go into properties you can change it there. That's how I do it.
[02:02] <d_ebc> I enabled "Enhanced Desktop" in 7.04. How do I get to a command prompt and how do I disable it?
[02:03] <prince_jammys> computer_: vlc %m
[02:03] <Gman99999> rryan what's the alsa sound config tool?  how do you access it?
[02:03] <Bozza> gyaresu:ok there isnt anywhere on oxyhostsfree where i can change the dns .. but there is on www.123-reg.co.uk
[02:03] <rryan> Gman99999 : When you got it working, did you use 'alsaconf' ?
[02:03] <computer_> thanks!
[02:03] <gyaresu> Bozza: k. wait a sec.
[02:04] <rryan> Gman99999 : If you got it to work, then it wasn't working when you rebooted, it might have been because you didn't type 'alsactl store' to save the settings.
[02:04] <computer_> prince....do i check Run in Terminal?
[02:04] <Gman99999> rryan possibly but it says command not found when i put it in
[02:04] <Bozza> gyaresu:thanks
[02:04] <prince_jammys> computer_: no
[02:04] <Gman99999> rryan yep that's probably why
[02:04] <jin> hi, I wnat to make a small application formyself using the gtk interface, any suggestion what language to use?
[02:04] <Radit> Anybody know a good scheduling app?
[02:04] <computer_> thanks again ! :)
[02:04] <computer_> peace
[02:04] <computer_> sweet
[02:04] <prince_jammys> computer_: at least i don't think so. i just googled "ubuntu vlc preferred application"
[02:04] <computer_> laters guys
[02:04] <computer_> ok
[02:04] <gyaresu> Bozza: Just signing up to oxy (can't find any stupid documentation.)
[02:05] <computer_> tnx
[02:05] <Bozza> well i can give u my user name and pword ..
[02:05] <Bozza> no probs
[02:05] <rryan> Gman99999 : hmm, apparently it's not included in the latest version of the repositories...
[02:05] <gyaresu> Bozza: nah. give me a second. found the forums. just searching.
[02:05] <tash>  How to flash a bios in asus notebook if there is only a dos flashong software?
[02:06] <Bozza> ok thanks so much
[02:06] <dennisonicc> Windows Vista Rox!! Wow I can flip winodows
[02:06] <Gman99999> rryan this seriously sucks, I'm reading these howto's and tutorials but nothing is working
[02:06] <rryan> Gman99999 : I'm checking ubuntu forums for why they didn't include it...
[02:07] <dennisonicc> vista 4 ever
[02:07] <gyaresu> Bozza: How long ago did you set this btw...
[02:08] <Bozza> well i registered the domain name about 2-3 days ago
[02:08] <Bozza> and the web host i registered yesterday
[02:08] <gyaresu> Bozza: and the dns that you set at 123-whatever when did you do that?
[02:08] <Alkemist> Algum puto?
[02:08] <d_ebc> I enabled "Enhanced Desktop" in 7.04. How do I get to a command prompt and how do I disable it?

[02:08] <Piffer> whats a good cd burning app on ubuntu?
[02:08] <Piffer> need to burn a iso for the first time on ubuntu here :-0
[02:08] <Bozza> it says it takes 24 hours ... but i have waited that
[02:09] <rryan> Gman99999 : Hm. Ok, well there's a post on UF that mentioned MCP67 worked with alsa when they installed 'linux-backports-modules' and rebooted. This might work for you. It also appears that OSS supports your chipset, but it's probably a good idea to stick with alsa if you can.
[02:09] <Bozza> gyaresu: oh wait i am lying
[02:09] <rryan> Gman99999 : when it worked previously, were you on an older version of ubuntu ?
[02:09] <Bozza> gyaresu: i never changed the dns .. i change the nameservers
[02:10] <Gman99999> rryan nope i was on gutsy gibbon
[02:10] <krim> Piffer: K3b is good for more advanced stuff, but for an iso you can just right click in Nautilus and choose "write to disc"
[02:10] <Bozza> gyaresu: after i changed the name server it said it will take 24hours .. but i left the dns to default
[02:10] <Gman99999> rryan so how do i install those linux backport modules?
[02:10] <funkja> I have a machine that is running kazaa and I want to see what files it is sharing. Is there a way i can do this on Linux?
[02:11] <rryan> Gman99999 : 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules' should do the trick.
[02:11] <Bozza> gyaresu: does that help by any chance ? ping: unknown host http://www.exclusive-events.co.uk/

[02:13] <amortvigil> nebnav thats the part i knew i dont know how to figure out what file in need in dev
[02:14] <Bozza> gyaresu: so what does that mean in english ... i really need to learn some of those terms
[02:14] <gyaresu> Bozza: Have you set your domain name correctly in the oxy site? It might not know that it's the nameserver for your domain.
[02:14] <Bozza> yea i think so
[02:14] <shawnharn> HELLO  can anyone help me astectilly pleaseing setting crash my xserver
[02:14] <Bozza> thats what it says in the oxy site www.exclusive-events.co.uk
[02:15] <gyaresu> Bozza: if a dns server doesn't know the IP of a domain it asks the next one up the rank. That info takes 24hrs (used to be longer) to go around the world.
[02:15] <mophead> My computer just shut down, randomly.  Any reason why it might do that?  When I turn it back on and boot, it gives me a few lines about WARNING something something (I can't copy the text).
[02:15] <gyaresu> Bozza: www. is actually a 'subdomain' like forum.example.com are you sure it's meant to be like that? maybe it should just be 'exclusive-events.co.uk'
[02:16] <gyaresu> methinks
[02:16] <Bozza> will it take effect immediatly if i change it ?
[02:17] <Bozza> gyaresu: ok i am removing the www. right now
[02:17] <gyaresu> Yeah. Your dns is already pointed to the oxy nameservers.
[02:18] <Bozza> gyaresu: nope didnt work either .. maybe i shall try the good old school way with the whole http:.....
[02:18] <gyaresu> Bozza: http can be forgoten it has nothing to do with dns.
[02:18] <HtooO> hi, I just enabled file sharing via the gui and so NFS and samba were installed
[02:18] <HtooO> didn't really need nfs but ne way
[02:19] <mophead> My computer just shut down, randomly. Any reason why it might do that? When I turn it back on and boot, it gives me a few lines about WARNING something something (I can't copy the text).
[02:19] <HtooO> now it hangs on boot at "Starting NFS common utilities"
[02:19] <HtooO> ne ideas?
[02:19] <HtooO> (gutsy)
[02:19] <Bozza> gyaresu: i dont understand why ... but ill trust you on this one
[02:19] <mophead> I'm in 7.10 by the way.
[02:19] <dns53> it is trying to mount a share that does not exist or is down?
[02:19] <HtooO> um
[02:19] <moDumass> hey all, i have an xp machine that connects to the web syncing at 16megs a second, and an ubuntu machine on the same network, actaully has a faster network adapter and i am getting like dialup speed
[02:19] <HtooO> very possibly
[02:20] <robdig> mophead: you can try looking at the logs in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kernlog to see what they say...
[02:20] <HtooO> but it hangs forever :s
[02:20] <HtooO> hmm
[02:20] <gyaresu> Bozza: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP
[02:20] <HtooO> took about 20mins to get into recovery mode
[02:20] <moDumass> i did a system update about a week ago and since then i get ultra slow internetty
[02:20] <rahmen> How do I make xorg.conf realize I have a tv-out? Do I need 2 Identifiers in Section "ServerLayout" ?
[02:20] <HtooO> if i get in again i'll stop all share mounting
[02:20] <dns53> rahmen what video card?
[02:20] <Bozza> thanks
[02:20] <moDumass> !slow internet
[02:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slow internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:20] <moDumass> :)
[02:21] <HtooO> is nfs common utils purely server or used for something else too?

[02:24] <clavo> Hy
[02:24] <clavo> Im Spanish sorry
[02:24] <dns53> MasterScript the way i would do it is use filezilla and use ssh
[02:24] <napii> masterscript, assuming your pc is windows, download WinSCP
[02:24] <napii> or filezilla like dns53 said :)
[02:24] <Bozza> gyaresu: i have removed www. and now http://exclusive-events.co.uk/ works !!!
[02:25] <MasterScript> mophead: i want ftp (from windows) to my server ubuntu.
[02:25] <mophead> ohh
[02:25] <Bozza> infact this works http://www.exclusive-events.co.uk/ aswell
[02:25] <gyaresu> Bozza: as it should. :)
[02:25] <mophead> robdig: so any idea what those mean or how I can fix them?
[02:25] <gyaresu> Bozza: Learn much?
[02:25] <Bozza> gyaresu: yea i did actually thank you so much !!
[02:25] <MasterScript> mophead: so how?
[02:26] <moDumass> ive turned off ipv6 already but no love
[02:26] <moDumass> man dialup sucks
[02:26] <Bozza> gyaresu: haha i hate stupid little mistakes
[02:26] <mophead> MasterScript: I don;t know how, but now I uinderstand the question :)
[02:26] <gyaresu> Bozza: Most welcome. DNS can be a headache when you don't know what's going on :)
[02:26] <napii> MasterScript, download winscp
[02:26] <Bozza> gyaresu: haha yea :) .. how come you know so much about dns and hosting
[02:26] <gyaresu> Bozza: I like to read ;)
[02:26] <MasterScript> mophead: i am trying using leapftp client. but cannot connect to my server
[02:27] <mophead> MasterScript: no, seriously, I don't know how.
[02:27] <robdig> mophead: the modprobe ones are where it's trying to load alsa (sound drivers) into the kernel, it doesn't like something on line 40 of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[02:27] <l33> hi
[02:27] <l33> my dpkg -l is out of date with my what's actually installed in on my system?
[02:27] <Bozza> gyaresu: oh ok :-) you should get a domain name some time .. this is my first one .. i didnt know domain names were that cheap
[02:27] <moDumass> hey all, man ive turned off ipv6 and i usually get 24megs a second down, im struggling to get dialup speed any ideas>
[02:27] <l33> is this normal?
[02:28] <mophead> robdig: it says something about line 41, too
[02:28] <robdig> mophead: yup, something on those two lines
[02:28] <HtooO> lol uninstalled anything with nfs in :P
[02:28] <HtooO> do u know which packages the gui installs for nfs?
[02:28] <mophead> robdig: ok, at least I know where to start now
[02:29] <robdig> mophead: good luck...
[02:29] <MasterScript> how to open port 21 for ftp?
[02:29] <mophead> robdig: I will ask my pet linux nerd. :)

[02:30] <gyaresu> JoCo: 'sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[02:30] <gyaresu> MasterScript: On ubuntu or router?

[02:30] <JoCo> gyaresu: how do i get to terminal?
[02:30] <rryan> JoCo: You can do it from a terminal. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to logon in text mode. Then use a text editor to edit it like nano or vim.
[02:30] <gyaresu> JoCo: ctrl+alt+F2

[02:31] <MasterScript> gyaresu: ubuntu
[02:31] <gyaresu> Bozza: Well next you need to install a cms...
[02:31] <gyaresu> MasterScript: running a firewall?
[02:32] <MasterScript> gyaresu: no
[02:32] <Bozza> gyaresu: haha i like your humor . whats a cms ??
[02:32] <gyaresu> MasterScript: then it's open.
[02:32] <gyaresu> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system
[02:32] <gyaresu> http://www.opensourcecms.com/ to test some.
[02:32] <mophead> robdig: I don't have permissions to safe alsa-base
[02:32] <dns53> MasterScript do you have a ftp server installed and running? there is not one by default as it is insecure and not a good idea to have everything opened up
[02:33] <mophead> robdig: I wanted to just erase those two lines and see what happens
[02:33] <robdig> mophead: if you want to edit it, you will need to have root privileges...what editor are you using?
[02:33] <MasterScript> i am just want get file from my pc
[02:33] <mophead> "model=6stack-digout
[02:33] <mophead> model=6stack-digout"
[02:33] <gyaresu> Bozza: basically you have your backend to the website with full management. try http://silverstripe.com it's very very good.
[02:33] <mophead> robdig: gedit
[02:34] <dns53> MasterScript the better option is to use sftp which uses a ssh connection to acess files, it is secure. use a client like filezilla on windows (there are lots of options)
[02:34] <MasterScript> dns53: i am just get my stuf form local pc
[02:34] <robdig> mophead: ok, open a terminal, and type gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base             and then you'll be able to save it
[02:34] <Bozza> gyaresu: yea i am reading the wiki now .. its quite confusing
[02:34] <MasterScript> dns53: i am using leapftp. but cannot connect to ubuntu
[02:34] <pushpop>  When I boot up my Ubuntu box I get a Grub error 22, anyone know how to resolve that? I ran the grub recovery with no resolve then ran fixmbr from a windows cd now I dont even get a grub error!
[02:34] <dns53> MasterScript so you want to copy from/to windows on the same computer you are running linux? are you dual booting/
[02:35] <Bozza> gyaresu: thanks for the link
[02:35] <MasterScript> dns53: from windows to linux
[02:35] <robdig> MasterScript: do you have an ftp server running on the pc you want to connect to?
[02:35] <Starnestommy> pushpop: it means that the partition that you selected does not exist
[02:35] <dns53> MasterScript you do not have a ftp server by default, you need to install and configure one yourself
[02:35] <Bozza> gyaresu: you know how everyone can easily edit wikipedia? is that basically a cms
[02:35] <mophead> LOL I almost said "rodbig"
[02:36] <pushpop> Starnestommy is there a way to resolve this, I have very critical data on the system?
[02:36] <mophead> robdig: Sweet, I took out line 40 and 41 that it didn't like.  Maybe it will help.
[02:36] <MasterScript> dns53: Leapftp
[02:36] <robdig> mophead: hope so
[02:36] <Starnestommy> pushpop: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on the ubuntu partition using a livecd
[02:36] <Bozza> BRB
[02:36] <gyaresu> Bozza: That's a wiki. which is just a way to format pages - have revisions - user control. similar to a cms but different.
[02:36] <pushpop> k
[02:36] <dns53> MasterScript is it running, can you ftp to localhost on the ubuntu machine?
[02:37] <MasterScript> dns53: cant connect to
[02:38] <MasterScript> dns53: ssh use 192.168.139.128
[02:38] <pushpop> Starnestommy menu.lst is empty
[02:38] <MasterScript> dns53: what for ftp
[02:38] <gyaresu> MasterScript: leap ftp is a client... Did you install an ftp server on ubuntu or not?
[02:38] <MasterScript> dns53: use same ip?
[02:39] <MasterScript> gyaresu: that why i ask about that. i dont know if ftp sever a install.
[02:39] <MasterScript> was*
[02:39] <proxie> does ubuntu have a mac os x equivalent of the "pbcopy / pbpaste" commands?
[02:39] <dns53> MasterScript "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 loops back to your own computer, or whatever your ip address is
[02:40] <gyaresu> MasterScript: It's fairly obvious you are new to this. Can you just tell us what you are trying to do (yes i know you want a file from xp).
[02:40] <gyaresu> MasterScript: So two computers? one xp and the other ubuntu. right?
[02:40] <zappitelli16> I'm trying to install updates and I get an error message saying the software index is broken, when I run "sudo apt-get install - f" in terminal, it says that f cannot be found. Any Ideas?
[02:40] <MasterScript> gyaresu: same computer
[02:40] <pushpop> Starnestommy menu.lst is empty
[02:40] <rsk> run -f not - f
[02:41] <gyaresu> MasterScript: Right. What's running at the moment. xp or ubuntu?
[02:41] <dns53> zappitelli16 try apt-get -f install    the options come before the install command
[02:41] <Starnestommy> pushpop: did you mount the ubuntu partition and check there?
[02:41] <Bruno_> MasterScript: type computer:/// in nautilus path bar and select your windows partition
[02:41] <pushpop> ok
[02:41] <MasterScript> gyaresu: i use vmware to run ubuntu
[02:42] <zappitelli16> thanks
[02:42] <MasterScript> gyaresu: can u give me more information about ftp server. which on i need to install?
[02:42] <MasterScript> w
[02:42] <Fliphaus> I love you guys
[02:42] <MasterScript> gyaresu: can u give me more information about ftp server. which one* i need to install?
[02:42] <Fliphaus> so much
[02:42] <Fliphaus> I love linux.
[02:42] <Peg> su - username -c ` for loop `     I am trying to get a for loop to work within that su statement I get syntax errors
[02:43] <Fliphaus> but i need help
[02:43] <Fliphaus> I want to install linux onto my hard drive, but all of the space on it is currently being used by my windows partition, how do i take some free space from my windows partition and use it to install linux without formatting?
[02:43] <Bozza> gyarus: quick ubuntu question .. is there a preinstalled ftp browser in ubuntu that not terminal based
[02:44] <gyaresu> MasterScript: Right. So it's two separate computers (as far as configuration goes). You don't need to use ftp unless you want to. You could setup samba. You know how to 'share' folders from your xp machine?
[02:44] <Bozza> that's
[02:44] <Bruno_> Fliphaus: get a live cd with gparted on it
[02:44] <dns53> Bozza gnome and kde you can use a url like ftp://
[02:44] <Bozza> ok thanks  dns54
[02:44] <Bozza> dns53 even =)
[02:45] <Fliphaus> Bruno_ I'm really new to linux, what does that mean
[02:45] <foldart> Fliphaus: the Ubuntu installer can resize the Windows partition.  Make sure you have backups first.  If you can run a windows defragmenter (again backup first) that would be good.
[02:45] <Fliphaus> foldart I love you
[02:45] <tuxter> hahhahaha
[02:45] <foldart> Fliphaus: wow, didn't take much :)
[02:46] <Bozza> dns53: wow works so much nicer than on windows : )
[02:46] <Fliphaus> foldart: wanna hook up?
[02:46] <Fliphaus> lol j/k
[02:46] <Fliphaus> thanks though
[02:46] <foldart> Fliphaus: np :)

[02:47] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[02:47] <gyaresu> Bozza: filezilla is good to. xp/bsd/linux it's in the repos
[02:49] <Bozza> gyaresu: ok thanks .. hmm gnome is telling me it takes 3 hours to upload 10 mb ... wtf.. hmm maybe it will suddenly speed up and complete
[02:50] <Pirate_Hunter> hmmm hello just wondering if vbox allows guest additions when running ubuntu hardy heron?
[02:51] <gyaresu> Pirate_Hunter: #ubuntu+1 for hardy support
[02:51] <Vista> i have a problem with the install to windows option of the new ubuntu
[02:51] <Vista> it starts with busybox and then it doesnt do anything and just stop
[02:51] <Pirate_Hunter> gyaresu: i thought i was in ubuntu +1 sorry for that
[02:51] <gyaresu> Pirate_Hunter: nah. s'aight.
[02:51] <Vista> any advise is appreciated
[02:52] <gyaresu> Vista: Install to windows?
[02:52] <Vista> yeah via Wubi builtin the new ubuntu
[02:52] <pushpop> Starnestommy what do I add to the menu.lst?
[02:52] <gyaresu> urgh. No experience with that yet.
[02:52] <Starnestommy> pushpop: it depends on how your partitions are set up
[02:53] <robdig> !wubi | Vista
[02:53] <ubotu> Vista: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://wubi-installer.org/
[02:53] <Peg> su - username -c ` for loop `     I am trying to get a for loop to work within that su statement I get syntax errors, what do you have to do to run a shell script inside the su command
[02:53] <hifjifs> su - username -c ` for loop to work within that su statement I get syntax errors, what do you have to do to run a shell script inside the su command
[02:53] <Vista> its builtin into the new ubuntu i am not a moron
[02:53] <dns53> Vista seems like a bug, it is beta so it may not work correctly, write down the output and report a bug
[02:53] <Vista> its called install on windows
[02:53] <pushpop> Starnestommy /dev/sdc2 is where my boot folder is
[02:53] <Bozza> gyaresu: is joomla beter than silverstripe ? i heard of joomla before .. but i never heard of silverstripe
[02:54] <Vista> it worked the first time  dns53
[02:54] <Vista> nvm i will stick to vista its sucks and proprietary but it doesnt frustrate me as badly
[02:54] <dns53> Vista so it booted fine once but not the next time?
[02:54] <Vista> ty for the regular treatment
[02:54] <computer13137> Could someone have a look at this?  I put it in /etc/init.d and chmodded it +x.  For some reason it's not doing what it should do.  http://p.just-owns.eu/p/t_2701206240838.txt  What's wrong with that script?
[02:54] <gyaresu> Bozza: Plone/drupal etc. That's why i linked the http://www.opensourcecms.com/ there are dozens.
[02:55] <pimplife> when i install ubuntu it g ets stuck on resizing the partions
[02:55] <Bozza> Vista: why dont you make it a bootable disc and install from booting it
[02:55] <gyaresu> pimplife: which version of ubuntu
[02:55] <pimplife> the alternate
[02:55] <Starnestommy> pushpop: I'm not sure how to do it, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows might be of use, although it's mainly for recovering grub after installing windows
[02:55] <Bruno_> Bozza:  Vista left the room (quit: Client Quit).
[02:55] <pimplife> 7.10
[02:56] <Bozza> gyaresu: so whats the best one ? silverstripe ?
[02:56] <bhlewis> computer13137: omit the single quotes around the start, stop, etc in the case statement.
[02:56] <computer13137> Does the spacing of the commands from the left margin matter?
[02:57] <bhlewis> computer13137: no
[02:57] <navetz> can anyone help me, I cant mount my external hard drive or usb drive
[02:57] <dns53> computer13137 ok what are you trying to do, perhaps what you could have done is create a link to the script instead of having another wrapper
[02:57] <ani1> navetz: what happens when you try to mount it?
[02:57] <navetz> ani1: premission denied
[02:57] <ani1> navetz: throw a sudo in front of mount
[02:58] <pimplife> gyaresu: what happen
[02:58] <gyaresu> Bozza: There is no 'best one' depends on your needs. I like silverstripe for a whole bunch of reasons you probably wouldn't care about. Drupal is worth a look for you as there are many many user supplied modules.
[02:58] <ASDFG> hey guys, im having some problems turning off a screen in a dual screen setup
[02:58] <navetz> ani1: I am mounting through a GUI

[02:58] <pimplife> when i install ubuntu it g ets stuck on resizing the partions
[02:58] <arcticpenguin380> what program can extract metadata?
[02:59] <ani1> navetz: open terminal and type in sudo mount /dev/xxx /path/to/mount/point   where xxx is the dev name and partition # i would suggest making a directory in /media then mounting it there
[02:59] <gyaresu> pimplife: Ah. yeah. (sorry bit tired, starting to get distracted)
[02:59] <Bozza> gyaresu: to be fair .. maybe i dont need the best one as long its easy to use ... especially as this is the first time i do it .. so what in your opinion is easy to use and has goo dfeatures
[02:59] <pimplife> i unnderstand
[02:59] <navetz> ani1: ok thanks

[03:05] <gyaresu> JoCo: What are you trying to edit in xorg.conf?
[03:05] <JoCo> Add Option "NoDDC" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf
[03:05] <JoCo> Code:
[03:05] <JoCo> Section "Device"
[03:05] <JoCo> 	Identifier	"Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1"

[03:05] <fismoll9> does anyone here know which ati driver I can use for a Radeon 8200 series?
[03:05] <fismoll9> fglrx is good for only 8500+

[03:06] <ubotu> JoCo: 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)
[03:06] <JoCo> sorry ubotu!
[03:07] <gyaresu> JoCo: What documentation are you following?
[03:07] <ani1> Black_Magic: good question i couldn't tell you since its mounted on / could be anything but you can search for large files  find / -size xG  where x is an amount and G = Gig you can use M for meg also possibly this could reveal large files :\
[03:07] <arcticpenguin380> what program extracts metadata?

[03:08] <Black_Magic> ani1, find: invalid argument `' to `-size'
[03:08] <gyaresu> JoCo: "X11"
[03:08] <gyaresu> JoCo: use tab completion on filenames.
[03:09] <JoCo> gyaresu: what is tab completion
[03:09] <ani1> Black_Magic:  sudo find / -size 5G as an example
[03:09] <dns53> press /e tab /X tab

[03:11] <adinc> gyaresu: i'm getting desperate here
[03:12] <Black_Magic> ani1, the biggest there is about 1.2MB
[03:12] <tarkus> im trying to think of a good community website to build, something to do with opensource and design. what would be something worthwhile? any suggestions..
[03:12] <marjan> i have problems wuth my VGA i have ATI 9200se where can i download drivers for my card
[03:12] <ani1> Black_Magic: your looking for total size it could be a TON of small things it du -h will print out total size at the bottom
[03:12] <nDuff> tarkus, why scratch if you don't have an itch?
[03:13] <dns53> tarkus how about a lug or loco site?
[03:13] <gyaresu> JoCo: can you 'cd' into /etc/X11/ ?
[03:13] <adinc> what does failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable mean, i get this all the time when using iwlist etc.
[03:13] <amortvigil> how do i unmount mtpfs?

[03:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mtpfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[03:13] <dns53> amortvigil as root type umont /mounpoint
[03:14] <adinc> gyaresu: no idea?
[03:14] <marjan> i have problems wIth my VGA i have ATI 9200se does any one use this, and had problems
[03:15] <gyaresu> JoCo: cd is 'change directory' so you 'cd /etc/X11' to go into that folder.
[03:15] <Bruno_> !ATI | marjan
[03:15] <mophead> marjan: you'll have better luck if you describe what problem you are having, what version of Ubuntu you are using, etc.
[03:15] <ubotu> marjan: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:15] <gyaresu> JoCo: then when you're in there just 'ls -l' to see all the files.
[03:15] <mophead> ooh
[03:16] <ani1> Black_Magic: you can also get summarized reports this probably is the easiest way i have found e.g. du -hs /usr/*
[03:16] <tarkus> i was thinking about something like this maybe: http://dpaste.com/40828/
[03:16] <tarkus> dns53, , ^^
[03:16] <tarkus> its a hard concept to present excacly how it would work though.
[03:16] <willytell_> someone knows how to set pkg-config --static up?
[03:16] <JoCo> gyaresu: do i do that directly from nano, just ^r and cd /etc/X11?
[03:16] <Black_Magic> ani1, /tmp 11M im doing / as we speak
[03:16] <gyaresu> Black_Magic: and to find out what's taking all the space in a directory 'du -S | sort -n -r |more'
[03:17] <JoCo> gyaresu: nvm dumb question
[03:17] <gyaresu> JoCo: nano is a text editor. you've opened a new file because you've started a file that didn't exist. so exit. go to the /etc/X11 folder and then 'nano xorg.conf'
[03:17] <JoCo> gyaresu: yeah I can cd into there

[03:20] <Peg> gyaresu: good idea I will try

[03:20] <tarkus> dns53, well, a lot of things. let me write a new paste.
[03:20] <tarkus> dns53, could flood the channel with a lot of text
[03:20] <pimplife> gyaresu: what happen
[03:21] <dns53> urthmover /etc/modules are modules loaded at boot, be careful as if you load a bad driver it makes it hard to get back in
[03:21] <gyaresu> pimplife: When you install it gets stuck on resizing partitions right? You may need to boot from live cd and just try gparted by itself.
[03:22] <AdemoS> I lost my shortcut to "Main Menu" the tool to edit what's displayed in the menu. Can anyone tell me the terminal command to open it so I can get the shortcut back?
[03:22] <pimplife> live cd dont work for me beacuse of res
[03:22] <gyaresu> pimplife: there is also a gparted livecd that might have a more up to date version of gparted.

[03:23] <brent113> ademos: it's not a terminal command but a special launcher located in a certain folder.
[03:24] <AdemoS> brent113, well I lost the shortcut, would you know the default folder it should eb in?
[03:24] <nikrud> AdemoS   alacarte ?

[03:26] <adinc> !iwlwifi3945 | adinc
[03:26] <nomic> with a standard installation of ubuntu for instance gutsy gibbon do i have all the source code or have i loaded binaries?
[03:26] <marjan> any1???
[03:26] <Flannel> brent113: the launchers?  You mean the .desktop files? /usr/share/applications
[03:26] <AdemoS> nikrud, HAH! It had gotten uninstalled somehow
[03:26] <AdemoS> installing that put it back
[03:26] <dns53> nomic binaries, you can use apt-get source packagename  to get the source
[03:27] <brent113> ademos: alacarte is the menu editor, same as right clicking the menu and choosing Edit, you can also create new one from within there, probably what you should do
[03:27] <AdemoS> nikrud, thanks a lot
[03:27] <nikrud> AdemoS
[03:27] <brent113> flannel: yes, thanks, that's what I was looking for
[03:27] <Piero_Scaruffi> my blue tooth headset is bonded already only it doesnt play the sound through the headset
[03:27] <AdemoS> brent113, yeah I found it's article on wikipedia, but thanks for explaining

[03:27] <logasdj> ok
[03:27] <nikrud> marjan have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that should set up the default X for your card.
[03:27] <AdemoS> nikrud, yeah?

[03:28] <AdemoS> nikrud, ooh, haha thanks
[03:28] <Peg> http://pastebin.com/d468db78a   any ideas for the fancy shell scripters
[03:28] <nDuff> Once upon a time, I could enter a wildcard expression in any gtk+ dialog box, press tab and have it restrict displayed names to matches. Is such functionality available in current Ubuntu in any form or fashion? The automatic prefix search functionality doesn't help much when I know I'm looking for a directory named *.d.

[03:28] <nikrud> AdemoS hit enter too soon
[03:28] <ross`__> configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org.
[03:28] <ross`__> package please
[03:28] <tarkus> dns53, im not sure if anything like this currently exists.
[03:28] <AdemoS> nikrud, hehe
[03:28] <nDuff> Peg, get rid of the ; before the echo, to start with
[03:28] <AdemoS> now if only you guys could fix my OpenOffice issue
[03:28] <nDuff> ...meaning the one just after the do
[03:28] <marjan> nikrud:  yes
[03:29] <brent113> ademos: what's it doing and do you have any config files you would mind losing
[03:29] <theBOBster> do i have to prompt a bot or something to ask a question?
[03:29] <Starnestommy> theBOBster: just ask it
[03:29] <AdemoS> brent113, I'm getting this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/187407
[03:30] <dns53> tarkus in ubuntu these are blueprints which exist on launchpad and the ubuntu wiki, they can be linked from a brainstorm idea.
[03:30] <dmakalsky> ok... so it seems that I have to reinstall edgy.  I currently have linux installed in one partition, namely / .  Can I reinstall and somehow preserve /home?
[03:30] <bastid_raZor> i am using the netspeed_applet2 0.13 in my top toolbar. after a restart of X i am unable to select eth0 for it to monitor. i get no errors just not able to select anything in the drop down for it is shaded
[03:30] <Peg> nDuff: I am trying to make a compund for loop, so that the whole for loop will be excuted under a diffrent user name
[03:30] <nikrud> marjan yes, you've done that?
[03:30] <Piero_Scaruffi> those instructions are very vague and confuse me
[03:30] <marjan> yeap nikrud still nadda
[03:31] <Flannel> dmakalsky: move home to its own partition first:  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[03:31] <AdemoS> brent113, according to the report, but has been fixed in Hardy....but until Hardy is released I wasn't planning installing it...
[03:31] <Piero_Scaruffi> i am afraid to do anything on ubuntu because once done you cant undo it
[03:31] <AdemoS> *bug
[03:31] <nDuff> Peg, gotcha. Give me a minute.
[03:31] <nikrud> marjan so, explain a little more clearly what's happening
[03:31] <marjan> hmmmmmmmmmm
[03:31] <Peg> nDuff: yup it's kind of complicated, thanks for the help
[03:32] <marjan> english??
[03:32] <nikrud> marjan what resolution are you at now?
[03:32] <RabidWeezle> Alright folks, this might first sound like a windows question, but it isnt... I got a totally fragged windows partition from a huge hardware switch, won't even boot safe mode or anything, and I can't mount the partition even, it's totally fubar. How can I remove the partition and expand my linux main partition to fill it's place?
[03:32] <brent113> ademos: I see that.  It has been fixed in the newest version. Can you download the most recent version from the open office website?
[03:32] <tarkus> dns53, aah, my god i never knew about this brainstorm.ubuntu.com  its pretty much excacly what i had in mind.. dammit lol
[03:32] <marjan> 1280
[03:32] <RabidWeezle> does gparted take care of that stuff?
[03:32] <bhlewis> Peg: wouldn't it be easier to just put all of the for loop in a file?
[03:32] <marjan> i cant change it
[03:32] <AdemoS> brent113, do they have a nice and easy .deb? :D
[03:32] <theBOBster> ok here we go ... I have search the web for 10 hours for a solution to this problem... I'm fairly new to unbuntu.... I'm running a broadcom network card and i can't get the thing to work...i have tried all the ndsiwrapper versions, and linuxant software and i cannot get is to run... the light are are blinking and i can't get to do anything else
[03:32] <dns53> tarkus it launched 2 weeks ago
[03:32] <nikrud> marjan 1280 by what? and, what do you want to change it to?
[03:32] <tarkus> dns53, really?
[03:32] <Piero_Scaruffi> My blue tooth headset is bonded so how do i use it?
[03:32] <brent113> ademos: I'll check getdeb.com, that's a good resource in general
[03:32] <bhlewis> Peg: anyway, the problems you're seeing are because of all the single quotes within your single-quoted command list
[03:32] <Piero_Scaruffi> the wiki page is unclear about this
[03:32] <gyaresu> RabidWeezle: gparted from a live cd will do the trick
[03:32] <ross`__> configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org. package please
[03:33] <dns53> tarkus yes, may have been 3 now i think about it
[03:33] <brent113> ademos: getdeb.net, excuse me
[03:33] <Peg> bhlewis: yaha, but there are enough files innolved in the script already, dont want to make it any measier
[03:33] <RabidWeezle> k
[03:33] <AdemoS> brent113, yeah checked there too, no luck
[03:33] <RabidWeezle> sound sabout right gyaresu, thanks
[03:33] <RabidWeezle> about*
[03:33] <gyaresu> RabidWeezle: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[03:33] <marjan> 1280*1024 i wanna change it in 1024*768
[03:33] <bhlewis> Peg: you'll have to go through lots of hoops to quote things correctly then
[03:33] <AdemoS> brent113, I'm considering adding the hardy repo and just gettin git that way. But worried about screwing up other gutsy software
[03:34] <brent113> ademos: I don't recommend that, I read it changes other programs
[03:34] <Peg> bhlewis: yaha I have been working on it for quite some time
[03:34] <nikrud> marjan when you go to system->prefs screen resolution, what happens when you choose 1024x768?
[03:34] <marjan> but the Hz its too high 85 but my screen works on 60
[03:34] <marjan> turn my screen off
[03:34] <dwarbit> Audigy 2 driver help please
[03:34] <marjan> and mess my pic
[03:34] <AdemoS> brent113, yeah, when I was considering using it, I noticed it was trying to change too much, so I removed it from my sources
[03:35] <gyaresu> dwarbit: You have to phrase it as a question to get help :)
[03:35] <RabidWeezle> looks like that live cd is perfect gyaresu ^_^
[03:35] <gyaresu> good
[03:35] <rryan> any suspend wizards in here? My toshiba portege 3500 looks like it suspend's correctly but doesn't resume. hibernate works fine.
[03:35] <gyaresu> RabidWeezle: BACKUP first :)
[03:35] <nikrud> marjan ah!  you probably need to set the vertical refresh and horizontal sync in your /etc/xorg.conf.  Could you put a copy of that and a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org ?
[03:35] <dwarbit> Does anyone know how to get an Audigy 2 Value card to work inside Ubuntu 7.1?
[03:35] <RabidWeezle> psh, how lol
[03:36] <RabidWeezle> I can't mount the old partition
[03:36] <RabidWeezle> gives me errors on the normal mount
[03:36] <theBOBster> does anybody have a solution on installing broadcom/linksys cards?
[03:36] <brent113> ademos: what version of oo do yuo have, 2.3?
[03:36] <marjan> how cloul i do that nikrud
[03:36] <gyaresu> dwarbit: cant you pastebin the output of 'lspci'
[03:36] <AdemoS> brent113, lemme check
[03:36] <Arrick> hey all, how would one go about getting the apache rewrite.load
[03:36] <Arrick>  to load from mods-available to mods-enabled?
[03:36] <AdemoS> brent113, 2.3.0
[03:37] <gyaresu> Arrick: tried #apache ? ;)
[03:37] <nikrud> marjan open http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org in your browser, and use apps->accessories->text editor to open the files. Copy and paste them, then give me the link you get back when you submit.
[03:37] <Arrick> gyaresu, considering its a ubuntu quesiton, no
[03:37] <mikebot> How do I open that program that shows me the wheels of data like by folders?
[03:38] <nikrud> Arrick  sudo a2enmod rewrite
[03:38] <Rubie> can anyone point me to a networking type room?
[03:38] <mikebot> Like it's a roun d graph of the contents of a folder.
[03:38] <gyaresu> Arrick: Really? You wouldn't ask an apache question in apache?
[03:38] <matthew__> quick question:  Is it necessary to escape the colon character ( : ) in the command line?
[03:38] <Arrick> thats not an apache question gyaresu
[03:38]  * gyaresu thinks it's time for lunch. back later.
[03:38] <brent113> ademos: http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=2.3.1  That is a link to the 2.3.1 deb file
[03:38] <pushpop> Is there anyway to mount a LVM thats spanned across 3 drives via a live CD enviroment?
[03:38] <kdorf_> mikebot: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer
[03:38] <marjan> nikrud: what files (sorry for beeing a idiot :P )
[03:38] <nikrud> gyaresu since ubuntu uses a very customized config, yes ;)
[03:38] <Arrick> its a question about a ubuntu package, that comes from ubuntu repos, that is specifically changed for the ubuntu version
[03:38] <nikrud> marjan   /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:39] <mikebot> kdorf: Thanks.
[03:39] <AdemoS> brent113, oooh thanks a million. The question is, will it work on the much unsupported 64 bit? :P
[03:39] <kdorf> mikebot: np
[03:39] <gyaresu_away> nikrud: Arrick I didn't know that. I'm still running gentoo servers. Sorry.
[03:39] <adinc_> what is wmaster0?
[03:39] <kdorf> so here's a random question.
[03:39] <pushpop> Is there anyway to mount a LVM thats spanned across 3 drives via a live CD enviroment?
[03:39] <Arrick> yeah, nothing from apache.org applies to ubuntu apache most of the time gyaresu_away
[03:39] <brent113> ademos: I'm not sure about that, I haven't used the 64 bit verison
[03:39] <Arrick> thats why i asked here
[03:39] <vocx> kdorf, interesting, what's the name of the package containing the disk usage analyzer?
[03:40] <ross`__> what's the package for libsdl
[03:40] <rryan> Arrick : a2enmod rewrite.load   ... (that's a guess, but a2enmod will enable a module. Alternatively you can create a symbolic link of a module in mods-available to mods-enabled to enable it)
[03:40] <kdorf> actually, nevermind.
[03:40] <dwarbit> How would that be done?  I am new to linux and do not know how to use pastebin.
[03:40] <kdorf> vocx: If you go to add/remove programs it'll be under accessories
[03:40] <AdemoS> brent113, well I'll hope for the best
[03:40] <kdorf> vocx: don't know package name offhand
[03:40] <theBOBster> lspci for the broadcom question: 00:0a.0 network controller:Broadcom corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g wireless lan controller (rev 03)
[03:40] <marjan> nikrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60683/
[03:40] <brent113> ademos: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US that is the link to all versions, look around there if you like
[03:40] <nikrud> Arrick well it does, it's just that debian broke it out into nice bitesize pieces you can enable and disable at will. Makes it easy for other packages to integrate
[03:40] <HardyOne> !pastebin | dwarbit
[03:40] <matthew2> quick question:  Is it necessary to escape the colon character ( : ) in the command line?
[03:40] <ubotu> dwarbit: 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)
[03:40] <pushpop> Is there anyway to mount a LVM thats spanned across 3 drives via a live CD enviroment?
[03:40] <AdemoS> brent113, thanks will do
[03:40] <adinc_> this is impossible, there are so many people here and noone nows what sort of device wmaster0 is?
[03:41] <LogicalDash> I've got a Belkin F5D7010 plugged in, but it's only being recognized as an "Unknown Belkin Device" and I can't use it. What's wrong?
[03:41] <kdorf> vocx: I guess it's "gnome-utils"
[03:41] <vocx> kdorf, yes, I know. But what if I want to remove it, or install it somewhere else.  Just like "gedit" whose name is obviously not "Text editor"
[03:41] <dns53> matthew2 you should not need to escape the :
[03:41] <AdemoS> brent113, aha! If I get the Japanese version also, it'll be a great incentive to finish learning it :P
[03:41] <vocx> kdorf, okay, gnome-utils sounds reasonable.
[03:41] <brent113> ademos: sounds like a plan!
[03:41] <pushpop> Is there anyway to mount a LVM thats spanned across 3 drives via a live CD enviroment?
[03:41] <Arrick> rryan, you got the path for the actual module?
[03:42] <Hansel> Does anybody know when KDE4 is going to make it to the repos?
[03:42] <rryan> Arrick : are you trying to enable mod_rewrite?
[03:42] <bastid_raZor>  Package requirements (libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.8.0 libpanelapplet-2.0 libgtop-2.0 >= 2.14.2) were not met: what do the >= x.xx.x mean? does it mean i need those versions of said package?
[03:42] <kdorf> brb
[03:42] <Arrick> yes rryan

[03:42] <rryan> Arrick : 'a2enmod rewrite' should work
[03:42] <vocx> bastid_raZor, yes. What package?
[03:42] <rryan> Arrick : or at least it works on my machine
[03:42] <ross`__> ubotu libsdl
[03:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libsdl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:42] <ani1> Hansel: totally unsupported and plasma crashed on me i cant even get into KDE4 but if you want to add the repo you can deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main

[03:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:43] <rryan> Arrick : er run that with sudo
[03:43] <bastid_raZor> vocx; those listed there.. those three i take it.
[03:43] <Piero_Scaruffi> Arrick:  is a troll
[03:43] <tehn00b> oh hi
[03:43] <ani1> ani1: i dont know the exact date though :\
[03:43] <joanki> can anyone help me?  i am getting an error message when i login: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
[03:43] <dwarbit> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60684/
[03:43] <ani1> err Hansel i dont know the exact date though :\
[03:43] <joanki> The last error message was:
[03:43] <joanki> Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[03:43] <bhlewis> Peg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60685/
[03:44] <joanki> can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[03:44] <bhlewis> Peg: (untested)
[03:44] <tehn00b> I've been having trouble starting my apache2 server
[03:44] <Arrick> Piero_Scaruffi, get lost and leave me alone will you?
[03:44] <dwarbit> Would my card show up in a real install, instead of a virtual one?
[03:44] <vocx> ross`__, do aptitude search 'lib sdl' one of those is the one you want probably
[03:44] <ross`__> i did that
[03:44] <rryan> arinc_ : google tells me that's some kind of wireless card device node. Can you provide more info? IS this a device in /dev? Is it a network interface?
[03:44] <Peg> bhlewis: it has to be in a compund statement inside the sh - nagios -c
[03:44] <Hansel> ani1 - thanks!  :)
[03:44] <ross`__> i ccan't see somethign that's obviosly it
[03:44] <nikrud> marjan and the log file?
[03:45] <joanki> can anyone help me?
[03:45] <marjan> what log file
[03:45] <Peg> bhlewis:  because it is inside a root run shell script and it needs to be excuted as nagios
[03:45] <Arrick> rryan, what directory should I be in when I run that?
[03:45] <rryan> Arrick : did that work for you?
[03:45] <tehn00b> how I can edit my apache.conf to prevent it from saying "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name"?
[03:45] <nikrud> marjan   /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:45] <FourX4Luvn> Anyone care to explain this to me, please?.....   http://pastebin.com/d4a9cc325
[03:45] <bastid_raZor> vocx; and apparently libgnomeui-2.8 doesn't exist.. possibly i need a different repo?
[03:45] <rryan> Arrick : you don't need to be in any directory. are you running 'sudo a2enmod rewrite' ?
[03:45] <brent113> joanki: I'm researching it a bit right now, if I come up with anyhting I'll let you know
[03:45] <Arrick> yeah
[03:45] <bhlewis> Peg: what I pasted will run as nagios.  The commands are redirected into the su session.
[03:45] <joanki> thank you brent113
[03:45] <joanki> i think i might know what caused it tho....
[03:46] <brent113> joanki: what's that?
[03:46] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: add this: ServerName server's.domain.name
[03:46] <joanki> there was suddenly this directory named "file:"
[03:46] <joanki> that showed up in my home directory
[03:46] <joanki> inside that directory was "home"
[03:46] <vocx> ross`__, look for the -dev packages "libsdl-dev" which actually pulls down "libsdl1.2-dev" use "aptitude show <package>" to read descriptions
[03:46] <joanki> or something like that
[03:46] <joanki> and i thought gosh it just came out of nowhere
[03:46] <joanki> so i can get rid of it
[03:46] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, I've declared
[03:46] <Arrick> nope rryan doesnt work yet, and I restarted the apache to make sure
[03:46] <joanki> so i did rm
[03:46] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, it for localhost
[03:46] <marjan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60687/
[03:46] <Tournicoti> half the time when i boot up my 2nd nic is called eth2 the other half it's called eth3 , is there a remedy for this , or do i have a faulty card/mb .. (sometimes it's not recognized at all )
[03:46] <Arrick> although it does show up in enabled now rryan
[03:46] <nikrud> marjan got it
[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : Can you confirm whether rewrite.load exists in /etc/apache2/mods-available, and that it exists in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled ?
[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : ah ok
[03:47] <marjan> k nikrud
[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : So, what indicator do you have that mod_rewrite is not enabled?
[03:47] <Arrick> my CMS would let me enable clean urls if it were working rryan ;')
[03:47] <brent113> joanki: I'm thinking you might try to reconfigure gnome-session
[03:47] <vocx> bastid_raZor, what are you trying to install, I did a "aptitude search libgnomeui" and there is 2.6, but not 2.8.
[03:48] <bhlewis> Peg: I did mis-place a parenthesis.  Corrected here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60688/
[03:48] <joanki> how do i do that, brent113
[03:48] <joanki> and will it override my stuffs?
[03:48] <theBOBster> OK i think i got it right ... my lspci is on pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60686)
[03:48] <rryan> Arrick : is it possible your CMS is misconfigured ? Has the CMS ever worked under another system ?
[03:48] <Arrick> rryan, it works on every system I've been on so far
[03:48] <Arrick> its drupal
[03:48] <bastid_raZor> vocx; netspeed.. i am actually trying to compile the latest version.. 0.13 seems to be having issues which is what the repo's have.
[03:49] <marjan> now i wait nikrud?
[03:49] <rryan> Arrick : Do you have an .htaccess file that says "RewriteEngine" On in it?
[03:49] <brent113> joanki: this is a pretty big step.  It would reset all gnome options to the default when it was installed originally.  I'm hesitant to tell you to do that, so I'm hoping someone else might know about this issue
[03:49] <nikrud> marjan one more piece of info:   lspci | grep -i vga
[03:49] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, does it have to be a hostname, or will an IP address work?
[03:49] <nikrud> marjan looking it over
[03:49] <joanki> brent113, could i do that w/o overriding my home?
[03:49] <joanki> if so, i don't mind, i've got al lmy settings saved
[03:49] <Arrick> let me look
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> vocx; possibly that is why 0.14 isn't working.. this version of gnome/ubuntu doesn't use those versions.
[03:49] <joanki> in a text file that is
[03:49] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this.
[03:50] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: it can be either
[03:50] <Peg> bhlewis: oha how does the OOO_OOO work?
[03:50] <Rayford> Hey
[03:50] <brent113> joanki: it would be safe to backup your home directory before something like this
[03:50] <Rayford> anyone have an old Panasonic TOughbook?
[03:50] <Arrick> rryan, doesnt look like it
[03:50] <joanki> i don't have a backup drive tho
[03:50] <rryan> Arrick : Also, have you written your own configuration for the site in sites-enabled ? Or are you using the one that came with the apache package? The default setting is to not allow overrides from .htaccess files.
[03:50] <brent113> joanki: if you have room, just copy it to /var or something
[03:50] <joanki> hm anyone else on here, brent113 that's pretty knowledeable about ubuntu?
[03:50] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, I'm not sure what's wrong then, I've delcared it as 127.0.0.1, but when I point my browser to that URI it gives me nothing :-/
[03:50] <Arrick> I set override all on rryan
[03:51] <joanki> to /var? it won't override that?
[03:51] <marjan> hmmmmmm cant found it nikrud
[03:51] <rryan> Arrick : K, then you should add RewriteEngine On in a .htaccess file in the root of your site
[03:51] <Rayford> No toughbook owners?
[03:51] <rryan> Arrick : See if that helps
[03:51] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60689/
[03:51] <Arrick> these are the requirements for what the CMS says rryan http://drupal.org/node/15365
[03:51] <vocx> bastid_raZor, well I saw the dependencies of 0.13 and libgnomeui doesn't appear, but maybe it's included in one of the other packages. Then you need to get the new lib too.
[03:51] <nikrud> marjan ah, sorry.   system->accessories->terminal ,   copy and paste    lspci | grep -i vga    there, you should get back one line of info
[03:51] <bhlewis> Peg: that's the end marker for a "here doc".  Basically the construct "<< anything" means redirect standard input from the lines following until you see the "anything" again.  If you put the "anything" in single-quotes, then the shell won't do any substitution in the redirection area
[03:51] <Arrick> where can I get a template of the .htaccess from rryan ?
[03:51] <brent113> Ok, open broadcast for assistance: anyone have experience with Gnome Settings Daemon failing to start, and how to fix it
[03:52] <Arrick> ojj
[03:52] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: are you getting "connection refused" or a blank page?
[03:52] <Arrick> I dint see it there
[03:52] <bhlewis> Peg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document
[03:52] <khaotik> can anyone help me get my wireless working on my laptop??
[03:52] <marjan> aham and then
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> vocx; libpanelapplet-2.0 and libgtop-2.0 are the two packages the compile states i need. which i am unable to find either.
[03:52] <joanki> hm
[03:52] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, "connection refused"
[03:52] <rryan> Arrick : The .htaccess doesn't need anything in it except 'RewriteEngine On' on a single line.
[03:52] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is apache2 running?
[03:53] <josh> how do i check to see if my kernel supports serial
[03:53] <brent113> joanki: I have had this happen before and the only way I resolved it was to reinstall.  That's a terrible thing to have to do in Linux, but it will fix it
[03:53] <marjan> nikrud: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01)
[03:53] <rryan> Arrick : Optionally you can wrap it in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> so that it won't error if mod_rewrite is not enabled.
[03:53] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this. When compiz is enabled video playback is not possible as the result is just scrambled video. When using metacity the result is as described.
[03:53] <khaotik> i used to have it working fine until i did a reinstall
[03:53] <joanki> ahhhh alright
[03:53] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, yes, it is
[03:53] <joanki> tomorrow i'll just buy a cd and back everything up there
[03:53] <FourX4Luvn> Anyone care to explain this to me, please?.....   http://pastebin.com/d4a9cc325
[03:53] <nikrud> marjan ok. and you have a phillips 107e6 monitor?
[03:53] <khaotik> i have tried doing it the same way but that does not work now. ant suggestions
[03:53] <marjan> yes sir
[03:53] <khaotik> any suggestions???
[03:54] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is port 80 open?
[03:54] <brent113> joanki: if you want to try to reconfigure gnome, here is the command: http://pastebin.com/m5f9ced90
[03:54] <nikrud> marjan ok. A sec while I do some editing in your /etc/X11/org.conf
[03:54] <joanki> thanks brent
[03:54] <vocx> bastid_raZor, well, those two do appear in the netspeed0.13 dependencies. But I checked launchpad, and 0.14 is in Hardy Heron, so you may just wait a few weeks.
[03:54] <marjan> 10x :)
[03:54] <cory__> Hey whats up guys
[03:54] <josh> how do i check to see if my kernel supports serial (on my tablet laptop)
[03:54] <brent113> good luck joanki
[03:54] <rryan> Arrick : I've never used drupal though. When you said you did 'AllowOveride all', were you following their instructions? Or did you add it to the virtual host ubuntu sets up 'default' in sites-enabled
[03:54] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, yea, normal web-browsing isn't a problem
[03:54] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: the syntax to ssh should be ssh kaden@192.168.0.3  if you want to set a name for it add lin-server in /etc/hosts
[03:54] <cory__> Anyone know how to fix this?? Could not open the file /home/cory/Desktop/NVIDI…Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding.
[03:55] <Arrick> 000-default rryan
[03:55] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is it open to incoming connections?
[03:55] <rryan> Arrick : gotcha... I'm assuming you added it in the <Directory /var/www/> group?
[03:55] <bastid_raZor> vocx; okay,, possibly may you be able to troubleshoot my netspeed 0.13 issue then?.. when trying to select a different interface to monitor the drop down menu is shaded out and i'm unable to select eth0
[03:55] <brent113> cory_: set the executable permission and run it in a terminal
[03:55] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: and point 192.168.0.3 towards it
[03:55] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, how would I go about checking that?
[03:55] <Arrick> yeah
[03:55] <cory__> trying to install nvidia 8800gt Graphics drivers
[03:55] <brent113> chomod a+x ./NVi.......
[03:55] <cory__> Oh ok, Thanks BRent
[03:56] <brent113> cory: chmod, sorry, typing is atrocious
[03:56] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: try this: run 'telnet localhost 80', then type in 'GET / HTTP/1.1' then hit enter twice
[03:56] <nikrud> marjan take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60690/
[03:56] <marjan> and
[03:56] <vocx> bastid_raZor, hahaha, never used netspeed. Will install now!
[03:56] <marjan> c/p
[03:56] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: er, HTTP/1.0 not HTTP/1.1
[03:56] <FourX4Luvn> ani1: The hostname resolves just fine.  (If I do 'host lin-server' I get back the address).  But why would ssh not resolve the name?  I can ftp to it by name, I can view it in a web browser by name.  Only ssh can't connect
[03:56] <gluer> desktop sidebar for ubuntu? does one exist?
[03:56] <gyaresu_away> Starnestommy: tehn00b 'nc -zv localhost 1-1024'
[03:56] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[03:57] <rryan> Arrick : What does your folder setup look like ? Is drupal served from the root ? Is this all in /var/www ? Is it in a subfolder ? When you go to your site, do you do example.com/drupal or is it just example.com ?
[03:57] <AdemoS> brent113, yeah all 32 bit stuff, thanks anyway
[03:57] <Arrick> /var/www
[03:57] <brent113> ademos: ah, well it was worth a look
[03:57] <nikrud> marjan we're going to make 3 changes in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  First we'll make a backup of what you have.  Do you still have that terminal open?
[03:57] <bluecake1> how to capture text on terminal? %ls > log.txt , something like that, but i am using telenet session on xterm/gnome terminal.
[03:57] <pimplife> how do i use gparted
[03:57] <rryan> Arrick : It looks like Drupal should have a .htaccess file in its root directory, is it there?
[03:57] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: try sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart
[03:57] <Ibback> Hello...is there any virtualization program that can support faxing in ubuntu 7.10?
[03:57] <Arrick> no
[03:57] <bastid_raZor> vocx; heh, i've not had any issues until i started messing with AWN and i added a repo that apparently conflicted with things that crashed gnome.. after i undid all my mistakes there netspeed is the last issue to correct
[03:57] <Arrick> I creatred one
[03:57] <cory__> brent i only caught the first part. chomod a+x Then what?
[03:57] <marjan> no
[03:57] <cory__> chmod i mean
[03:57] <nikrud> marjan  then  apps->accessories->terminal
[03:57] <FourX4Luvn> ani1: Incidentally, I can ssh from the same computer to a different computer using 'ssh <hostname>' just fine too.  It's only this one computer that I can't ssh to by name.
[03:57] <brent113> cory: cd to the directory it's in.  Then chmod a+x ./[name of teh file]
[03:58] <josh> hwo to i test to see if my kernel supports serial connections
[03:58] <cory__> oh ok thanks
[03:58] <brent113> you don't need the ./ though
[03:58] <rryan> Arrick : in /var/www ? Is Drupal in a subfolder ? It looks like a .htaccess should be there, and it should have this text: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/.htaccess?view=markup
[03:58] <marjan>  lspci | grep -i vga???
[03:58] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, it restarted, but I still can't connect
[03:58] <cory__> i just started using ubuntu / Linux today
[03:58] <Arrick> its root is /var/www rryan
[03:58] <vocx> bastid_raZor, okay, I installed it. Where is it
[03:58] <bastid_raZor> vocx; netspeed is actually saving me valuable resources by allowing me to not put extra weight in conky.
[03:58] <marjan> just to open a terminal?
[03:59] <cory__> cd ~Desktop
[03:59] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: pastebin your /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[03:59] <cory__> oops wrong window
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan no
[03:59] <rryan> Arrick : k, and when you to your site, you see the drupal pages, but with non-clean urls?   Try replacing the .htaccess you made with the one in the link I just wrote.
[03:59] <Gopher> http://jeffbyrd.kicks-ass.net/FUCKYEAH.jpg
[03:59] <Gopher> wrong place, sry
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan and you should use my nick when you type, it's red on my screen and I don't miss what you say
[03:59] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: is the reverse DNS setup correctly for that host?
[03:59] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, bingo, it was set to 8080
[03:59] <marjan> i know
[03:59] <brent113> cory: if you're trying to install the nvidia drivers, try opening the restricted driver manager and using it instead (System->Administration)
[03:59] <bastid_raZor> vocx; add it to the panel;; it should be listed under System & hardware when in the add to panel options.
[03:59] <marjan> i know nikrud
[03:59] <Gralco> i cant find font menu
[03:59] <marjan> :P
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan in that terminal, type    cd /etc/X11 , that will move you to the right director
[04:00] <pimplife> damn this ubuntu it still wont install
[04:00] <marjan> i did nikrud
[04:00] <cory__> bah how do i set desktop.. cd ????
[04:00] <cory__> Set terminal to desktop i mean
[04:00] <Gralco> where is font menu?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[04:01] <kdorf> cory__: cd ~/Desktop
[04:01] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this. When compiz is enabled video playback is not possible as the result is just scrambled video. When using metacity the result is as described.
[04:01] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: yeah not too sure thats pretty weird when im inside of my network i always just use the ip as i only  have a few machines
[04:01] <cory__> Thanks :)
[04:01] <nikrud> marjan ok, now type   sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.before.nikrud.messed.about
[04:01] <brent113> cory: try the Restricted Driver Manager though first
[04:01] <nikrud> marjan or any stuff after .conf that you'll remember
[04:01] <Gralco> where is font menu?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[04:01] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, thanks for the help, I got it working now
[04:01] <vocx> bastid_raZor, woot! I'm uploading at 5 KB/s.    By the way, I already had another "network-monitor"... where did that come from?
[04:02] <marjan> k nikrud
[04:02] <Ibback> hi

[04:02] <cory__> chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2.run
[04:02] <cory__>  correct?

[04:02] <bastid_raZor> vocx; heh.. i like it when it works
[04:02] <marjan> no nikrud

[04:02] <nikrud> marjan ok, next type   gksudo gedit xorg.conf
[04:02] <Gralco> Starnestommy, thanks
[04:02] <kdorf> cory__: I'd really recommend trying restricted drivers. I've fudged up my linux install messing with downloaded NVIDIA drivers
[04:02] <Piero_Scaruffi> This isnt working for me asoundconf set-default-card Headset  i am unable to hear sound from my blue tooth headset i followed all the instructions so can i please get some more help troubleshooting
[04:03] <marjan> nikrud: done nikrud
[04:03] <cory__> let me see what i can come up with kdorf.. Trying to figure that out now :)
[04:03] <vocx> bastid_raZor, hey, I can't select another interface, it's grayed out. But probably that's because I only have one interface, so what gives?
[04:03] <nikrud> marjan now, if you look at   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60690/  , line 86 , you'll see I changed vesa to ati. Make the same change.
[04:04] <Rubie> i basically have a similar problem to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319422  except it's a wpa-psk can somebody help
[04:04] <kdorf> cory__: alright, just be careful :)
[04:04] <cory__> it says none of my hardware requires retricted drivers
[04:04] <Arrick> lol., rryan now I have to reset the user on the cms, bbib
[04:04] <rryan> Arrick : did it have clean urls though ?
[04:04] <rryan> Arrick : If not, try this: Look for the line in the .htaccess that says "# RewriteBase /", remove the '#' at the beginning of the line. Save it and then restart apache.
[04:04] <cory__> Like i said, ive never dealt with ubuntu so im kinda lost here
[04:04] <Arrick> I cant tell without being able to login rryan
[04:05] <kdorf> cory__: go to System -> Administration -> Screens & Graphics. What is your gfx card listed as?
[04:05] <bastid_raZor> vocx; that is my question.. but i have VMWare and that has created several other monitorable devices.. but you should be able to select 'lo' .. that is even an option in network-monitor
[04:05] <marjan> can i copy past the all tex. nikrud
[04:05] <nikrud> marjan yes
[04:05] <rryan> Arrick : Does the site show up at all ? Is it that you are stuck a login form and can't log in, or does nothing show up?
[04:06] <vocx> bastid_raZor, oh, that's one big small detail, a virtual machine. So is Ubuntu guest or Host?

[04:06] <bastid_raZor> vocx; host.. i use vmware for windows and hardy testing..

[04:07] <Gralco> where is Nautilus
[04:07] <Arrick> stuck at the login form, one sec, im almost done reseting it
[04:08] <vocx> bastid_raZor, and you say that VMWare created other interfaces, like eth1, eth2, eth3... Well I've never used VMWare in Linux, so I'm not experienced with it.
[04:08] <AdemoS> One more issue: Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit; Whenever I try to drag a volume manager or trash applet from the Gnome Panel menu, it gives me these errors http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7043/twopanelerrorsqf4.png
[04:08] <josh> how do i test to see if my kenrel supports serial
[04:08] <Starnestommy> Gralco: it's in Places > Computer and several other areas
[04:08] <rryan> josh : you mean serial ports?
[04:08] <ani1> Gralco: everywhere and nowhere at once...its under places home its the file explorer type nautilus in terminal
[04:09] <ani1> you'll see
[04:09] <bastid_raZor> vocx; it created ones like vm8 vm1 and vm3.. i'm guessing vmX is for each of the 3 i have internet enabled.
[04:09] <josh> ya
[04:09] <rryan> josh : did you compile your own kernel? If not then I'm 99% sure it does :).
[04:09] <Gralco> anil i did earlier Nautilus is not a command
[04:10] <rryan> josh : the file /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2 .. and so on are your serial ports
[04:10] <ani1> Gralco: small n  as in nautilus
[04:10] <vocx> bastid_raZor, and those are readily visible when you do "ifconfig"?
[04:10] <ani1> Gralco: everything is case sensitive
[04:10] <Ibback> Hellooooooooooooooo...can some1 pls help
[04:10] <josh> rryan : if they are there they my kenrela supports serial?
[04:10] <cory__> That didnt work out so well.. let me try again
[04:10] <ani1> !ask | Ibback
[04:10] <Piero_Scaruffi> asoundconf set-default-card Headset My bluetooth headset wont play sound i nonded the device but the device wont show up in devices in the soundmanager
[04:10] <ubotu> Ibback: 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. :-)
[04:10] <FourX4Luvn> Ok.. different pastebin that should illustrate what I'm experiencing a bit better.  Anyone have any ideas please?  http://pastebin.com/d1765b2a6
[04:10] <Ibback> Ok...thank
[04:11] <rryan> josh : Yes, but i'm telling you, no default kernel that comes with Ubuntu has ever not supported serial. Trust me :)
[04:11] <bastid_raZor> vocx; yes.. vmnet8 and vmnet1 are both visible along with lo and eth0
[04:11] <Arrick> how do I tell the permissions of a directory?
[04:11] <nikrud> josh lsmod | grep serial , if you have serial ports you should see serial_cs
[04:11] <josh> i'm using debian
[04:11] <Ibback> I just need to know if there is any virtualization out there that can support faxing
[04:11] <nikrud> josh don't say that here ;)
[04:11] <rryan> josh : I'm almost positive that default debian kernels for desktop machines wouldn't be compiled without support either.
[04:11] <xpistos_> hey everyone. Newb here just jumping in chat for the first time
[04:11] <FourX4Luvn> Ibback: Not sure about any of the others, but I know VMWare supports it.
[04:11] <Arrick> nikrud, arent all the users here using debian in a sense?
[04:11] <rryan> josh : also, this channel is for ubuntu support :)
[04:11] <kdorf> xpistos_: welcome
[04:12] <nikrud> Arrick yes. But #debian can be harsh
[04:12] <josh> i ddint' get any output when i ran that
[04:12] <rryan> josh : What are you trying to do with your serial port that makes you think it isn't working / isn't supported
[04:12] <cory__> well that didnt work at all also, it just replaced it with VESA again
[04:12] <Ibback> sorry fourx4luvn...i hv tried...but it do not support
[04:12] <Bozza_> gyaresu:still here? oxy only lets me install joomla
[04:12] <Arrick> lol nikrud
[04:12] <kdorf> cory__: selecting "nv" or "nvidia" just switched it back to "vesa"?
[04:12] <bastid_raZor> vocx; when i go to the preferences of Netspeed it shows Network device: vmnet8 and is shaded .. odd that it chose a VM-nic over a true one
[04:12] <Piero_Scaruffi> asoundconf set-default-card Headset i tried to apply this setting but i still cant hear any sound from my bluetooth headset device
[04:12] <rryan> Arrik : did the clean urls work ?
[04:13] <Arrick> rryan, how do I tell the permissions on a file on 6.06.1?
[04:13] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?

[04:13] <kdorf> cory__: what card do you have? I'm running an 8800GTX and haven't experienced any issues.
[04:13] <cory__> It says it will take affect when i log off then back on, but when i do it comes back in low graphics mode
[04:13] <cory__> 8800GT
[04:13] <Bozza_> list
[04:14] <Bozza_> \list
[04:14] <Bozza_> \list channels
[04:14] <cory__> Maybe im missing something?
[04:14] <rryan> Arrick : The -rw-r--r-- looking thing is the permissions. That means that for me, the file is read/write, for my group, the file is read, and for others the file is read (from left to right is how you tell)
[04:14] <Arrick> yeah, whats the number association with that setting you just posted rryan ?
[04:14] <Bozza_> how do i view alll channels ?
[04:14] <vocx> ross`__, what was your original question? What are you trying to install?
[04:14] <cory__> Does ubuntu have a remote access program in it already?
[04:14] <Starnestommy> Bozza_: /list
[04:14] <kdorf> cory__: selecting "nv" driver causes it to boot into low graphics mode?
[04:14] <Arrick> 666, 777, 447
[04:14] <Arrick> ?
[04:14] <ross`__> physicsfs
[04:14] <ross`__> but i have the only package
[04:14] <cory__> Yeah, let me try it again
[04:15] <ross`__> vocx: it makes no sense

[04:15] <vocx> ross`__, link please
[04:15] <ross`__> i got the one it was talking about
[04:15] <rryan> Arrick : Here's a good tutorial : http://catcode.com/teachmod/numeric.html
[04:15] <Starnestommy> CDOG: maybe /var/log/auth.log
[04:15] <Glaxed> hello all (this is my first time on irc); sorry to interrupt
[04:15] <rryan> Arrick : What I said was 644
[04:15] <Arrick> ok
[04:15] <faileas> Glaxed: just ask what you need to. IRC is a dynamic fast moving medium ;p
[04:15] <cory__> should i choose NV then click ok and relog back in?
[04:16] <bastid_raZor> vocx; thanks for the attempts.. work comes far to quick.. if you find anything feel free to toss the hints my way. bye..thanks
[04:16] <ross`__> im ok
[04:16] <ross`__> nevermind
[04:16] <kdorf> cory__: yeah, it should work.
[04:16] <Piero_Scaruffi> Can i get some help connecting my bluetooth headset please the instructions i received earlier didnt work for me?
[04:16] <vocx> bastid_raZor, work? It's bed time for me, see ya.
[04:17] <Rubie> cory yes i'ts in system>preferences>remote desktop
[04:17] <Rubie> >	i basically have a similar problem to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319422 except it's a wpa-psk can somebody help
[04:17] <CDOG> starnestommy thanks
[04:17] <cory__> right back to Vesa
[04:17] <cory__> brb
[04:18] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?
[04:18] <xpistos_> I am dual booting and I want to know how big I can make my Vfat part
[04:18] <kdorf> cory__: try this
[04:18] <cory__> ok
[04:18] <Piero_Scaruffi> Can i get some help please i cant get my headset which works with blue tooth to work on linux i can bond the device and auth the device but i dont know how to add the device to hardware audiodevices ?
[04:18] <cory__> so it didnt load into the Low graphics mode, but it did reset to Vesa
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: first, backup your xorg.conf file. In terminal, type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: without quotes, obviously.
[04:19] <cory__> yea
[04:19] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: does "ssh lin-server." (note trailing dot) work?
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: next, "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:19] <matt444> how do you turn off the system beep?
[04:20] <polywaffle> is there a way to bring up a framebuffer from the command line
[04:20] <kdorf> cory__: in xorg.conf, look for the line where it identifies the driver as "vesa" and change it to "nv", then log out and see what happens. If it gives you trouble, just copy the backup over the original again.
[04:20] <Rubie> and again
[04:20] <cory__> kk
[04:20] <Rubie> >	i basically have a similar problem to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319422 except it's a wpa-psk can somebody help
[04:20] <cory__> xorg.conf is blank....
[04:20] <Rubie> or point me to somewhere that could help
[04:21] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Hrm.. Yes, it does.  (I already tried 'lin-server.local' and that didn't work).  What did I screw up?
[04:21] <kdorf> cory__: you're in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" right? it's case sensitive.
[04:21] <nikrud> Piero_Scaruffi http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices might work for you
[04:21] <polywaffle> any ideas on the framebuffer thread?
[04:21] <cory__> yea
[04:21] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php  See if that helps ya
[04:21] <Starnestommy> matt444: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=484 has something about it
[04:21] <nikrud> Piero_Scaruffi I'm thinking of the config file bit there
[04:21] <kdorf> cory__: well there's definitely no way it should be blank, or your GUI wouldn't work.
[04:21] <cory__> xorg.conf (/etc/Xll) - gedit is what it says up top of the window
[04:21] <Piero_Scaruffi> Couldn't display "obex://[00:80:5A:63:20:E0]/".
[04:22] <Piero_Scaruffi> \i am a noob
[04:22] <kdorf> cory__: those are ones, not Ls
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> Hello all: Something I just thought of, I got 1rst partition = XP, 2nd and 3rd = linux. I am about to use a gparted livecd to remove my windows partition and go linux only... Then I am going to grow out the linux main partition to fill the freespace the windows partition leaves behind and such, I am sure this is gonna change the partition names, (hda3, hda1...) Question is, will this break grub?
[04:22] <cory__> oh
[04:22] <cory__> lol
[04:22] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: notice that the reverse lookup for  kaden-lin is different than the reverse for lin-server.  Does your /etc/resolv.conf contain something like "search local"?
[04:22] <ice109> hey is there any reason i can't splice together networking cables?
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> as in will this break my entire install of linux playing with the partitions like that?
[04:23] <FourX4Luvn> RabidWeezle: Yes, it would change the partition names, and yes, grub would have to be reconfigured.  A way around this, don't get rid of the Windows partition, simply shrink it to be like 2MB.  Then it's still there, but you're not loosing any space from it.
[04:23] <RabidWeezle> ahh, that sounds reasonable
[04:23] <RabidWeezle> thanks FourX4Luvn
[04:23] <kdorf> cory__: it might be that the gnome "screens & graphics" configuration utility doesn't like you choose the "nv" driver, so editing xorg.conf should force it to use that driver.
[04:23] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  umm... im not sure that's what i need.  im on a computer that is on the network now.  i tried http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html  but i get a hex key and i need an ascii key
[04:23] <cory__> brb
[04:24] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Yes, it does have 'search local' in it
[04:24] <ice109> is there any reason i can't splice together networking cables
[04:24] <CoasterMaster> ice109, how are you splicing them together?
[04:24] <ice109> stripping the wires, connection same colors
[04:24] <cory__> Lmao
[04:24] <ice109> twisting the bares wires together
[04:24] <cory__> Screen and Graphics still displays as vesa for graphics card
[04:25] <ice109> coastermaster
[04:25] <tux97> hi
[04:25] <CoasterMaster> ice109, that should work as long as the connections are secure and not bridging (and the cable isn't really long)
[04:25] <ice109> hmm
[04:25] <ice109> my cable is at least 50ft
[04:25] <RabidWeezle> might wanna wrap the twisted ends
[04:25] <kdorf> cory__: open xorg.conf again... does it still show Driver		"nv"?
[04:25] <ice109> definitely not bridging
[04:25] <CoasterMaster> ice109, as long as it's less than 100ft, you should be ok....and yeah wrap them in like electrical tape to be safe
[04:25] <cory__> yea
[04:26] <ice109> what if it's over 100ft
[04:26] <cory__> im going to reinstall the NV binary x.org drivers
[04:26] <kdorf> cory__: I might try a full reboot. I think in order for that to take effect you have to restart the x server.
[04:26] <Geoffrey2> what's the Alt key combination to switch to a terminal?
[04:26] <Piero_Scaruffi> nikrud i have no clue where in the config file i should paste the instructions from the wiki it doesnt specify it
[04:26] <zcat[1]> is there any howto somewhere for using a video as wallpaper?
[04:26] <Piero_Scaruffi> any help please
[04:26] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: ctrl-alt-f1
[04:26]  * RabidWeezle reboots into the livecd
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: works for f1-f6
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: ctrl-alt-f7 to return to GUI
[04:27] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: whatever name service you're using isn't serving "lin-server.local." for 192.168.0.3, only "lin-server"
[04:27] <Geoffrey2> Firefox is nonstop freezing or crashing on me right now, driving me nuts
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: download lynx ;)
[04:27] <rryan> Arrick : Any progress?
[04:28] <Arrick> rryan, looking into it now
[04:28] <rryan> Arrick : k
[04:28] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: I've set up dnsmasq as DHCP and DNS on lin-server
[04:28] <Arrick> the /htaccess is there
[04:28] <Arrick> .htaccess
[04:28] <cory__> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0611 (rev a2)
[04:28] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Which is what really confuses me.  How can a dnsmasq server not have its own hostname correct?
[04:28] <cory__> So it recognizes that it is a Nvidia at least :P
[04:29] <kdorf> cory__: It's quite possible that ubuntu just doesn't recognize the GT yet.
[04:29] <kdorf> cory__: let's see what google says.
[04:29] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: you'd need the entry in /etc/hosts to look like this on the dnsmasq host: "192.168.0.3 lin-server.local lin-server"
[04:29] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Or, rather, how can it serve the correct addresses/hostname mappings for all the other computers, yet not its own?
[04:29] <ani1> Geoffrey2: when you run it from terminal whats the error?
[04:29] <cory__> google is my best friend :P
[04:29] <tux97> lol cory__
[04:30] <cory__> im going to try sudo nvidia-xconfig in console
[04:30] <cory__> errr,, terminal
[04:30] <cory__> brb gonna restart
[04:30] <Geoffrey2> ani1: if I could get back to the terminal to find out, I'd tell you :)
[04:30] <tux97> doesn't mater to me what ya call it cory__ lol
[04:30] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: I have similar now... "192.168.0.3 lin-server lin-server.local"  Does the order matter?
[04:31] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: yes, it does seem to matter for dnsmasq (ran into that myself)
[04:31] <ALPSINC> hi all, do the standard nv drivers have open-gl enabled?
[04:31] <Geoffrey2> ok, I'm getting a error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon
[04:32] <Rubie> fourx4luvn umm... im not sure that's what i need. im on a computer that is on the network now. i tried http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html but i get a hex key and i need an ascii key
[04:32] <Geoffrey2> last error message was "Did not receive a reply."
[04:32] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: I guess that's because the hosts file format is specified as "IP official_hostname aliases"
[04:32] <Draggin> Good morning.  I have just finished installing Ubuntu (Studio) 7.10 again, but I seem to have some issues with my sound - it doesn't seem to work uniformly throughout the system.  Some applications don't have any sound, some do, and system sounds (like the logon sound) don't play... Where can I start looking?
[04:32] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Interesting.  I swapped them, and it did fix the problem.
[04:32] <dns53> ALPSINC the nv drivers do not support opengl at all, the proprietary nvidia do
[04:33] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: score one for the good guys against the forces of chaos then :)
[04:34] <Arrick> I got it now rryan thanks
[04:34] <cyntek> can a window user gain access to a network drive to read/write?
[04:34] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Thank you :)  Funny, I set this up 4 months ago and thought it was working just fine.. I only log in to the other computers though, not the server.  LOL.  Guess that just goes to show how well ubuntu-server holds up though.  Not having to log into it for 4 months.  heh
[04:34] <rryan> Arrick : cool, enjoy :)
[04:34] <Draggin> Geoffrey2 - go have a look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146946  You might find an answer there

[04:35] <Piero_Scaruffi> those instructions confused me

[04:35] <kdorf> towlie:  you should just be able to double click it
[04:35] <Starnestommy> towlie: sudo dpkg -i file.dev
[04:35] <ani1> !deb | towlie
[04:35] <Starnestommy> *file.deb
[04:35] <ubotu> towlie: 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.
[04:35] <FourX4Luvn> towlie: err.. add 'sudo'

[04:37] <ubotu> cyntek:: 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.
[04:37] <Starnestommy> Nix3r: there's no package for psybnc, but irssi with it's proxy plugin and dircproxy can both be bouncers
[04:37] <FourX4Luvn> Ibback: Not sure if you can follow it word for word, but should get you started at least.  I've never done it myself, so can't really help with the details.  I just know it's possible.
[04:37] <Draggin> Nix3r - Perhaps get it from their website?
[04:38] <cyntek> thanks frogzoo
[04:38] <FourX4Luvn> cyntek: Yes, search the web for how to setup and configure samba
[04:38] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this. When compiz is enabled video playback is not possible as the result is just scrambled video. When using metacity the result is as described.
[04:38] <Nix3r> Starnestommy what is psybnc then..
[04:38] <Starnestommy> Nix3r: a bouncer
[04:38] <cyntek> I will, just wanted to know if was possible Thanks for the help everyone.
[04:39] <Nix3r> Starnestommy any package for bouncer..?

[04:41] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: So you're on the computer that you want to recover the password from, correct?  Are there any other wireless nodes on the network?

[04:41] <hischild> ani1, i would love the dell suggestion
[04:41] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  nodes?
[04:42] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Is anything else connecting to the network wirelessly?  Computers, printers, xbox...etc?
[04:43] <Rubie> no  i want to connect my laptop (ubuntu) and my wii but im on an xp desktop  and i can't just reconfigure the router
[04:43] <cory__> Does anyone know a good way to learn ubuntu withing spending money, like is there a Everything about Ubuntu site out there that just has a very good tutorial in it?
[04:43] <kdorf> cory__: really it takes time more than anything.
[04:44] <Rubie> cory  you never have to spend money with ubunt
[04:44] <hischild> cory__, in my opinion, you're at the place you're describing right now.
[04:44] <kdorf> cory__: your first day you'll be lost, but I started a little more than a month ago and I'm very comfortable now. you'll be amazed how much you can learn in three days or so
[04:44] <Geoffrey2> does anyone know why ubuntu would on a periodic basis generate video output beyond the range of the monitor?
[04:44] <cory__> Yes, but i hate having to rely on others all the time. as a Tech Support Rep i should know all this stuff :P
[04:44] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Oh, I see.  I misunderstood your needs.  Try this instead then:  http://www.snapfiles.com/get/wirelesskeyview.html
[04:44] <Flannel> cory__: help.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com/community/ has tons of stuff.  This is a great resource, as are the forums (ubuntuforums.org)
[04:45] <kdorf> cory__: Ubuntu is just like anything else... it's impossible to know everything about it.
[04:45] <cory__> Im taking courses through devry for Game Programming, and Ubuntu has most of the utilities i need and such
[04:45] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: ubuntuforums.org is another good place.

[04:46] <cory__> lol
[04:47] <orudie> how can i locate a specific file ?
[04:47] <cory__> I really pray that my sound works
[04:47] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: You need to convert it manually then...  This should help:   http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/networks/archives/converting-a-phrase-to-hex-for-a-wep-key-13024

[04:48] <cory__> I would but my windows Partition dissapeared
[04:48] <Rubie> cory anything five minutes of google doesn't fix you can post on ubuntuforums and anything drastically urgent you can ask in here, other than that spend time with ubuntu, check out ubuntuguide.com and maybe search torrents for a ubuntu guide
[04:48] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  its wpa-psk
[04:48] <morhon> lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:48] <ani1> Geoffrey2: first i would start up in -safe-mode and disable all plugins etc see if its flash related then you can try a new profile using -ProfileManager
[04:48] <cory__> im still trying to learn the commands for everything
[04:49] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: I know but ascii to hex conversion is the same, regardless of the protocol
[04:49] <kdorf> Rubie said it best. =) Google is notoriously good for solving ubuntu problems
[04:49] <Zimbo> Hi guys... this is probably an FAQ, but when the final release of Hardy comes out in another month, will it be possibly to do an "upgrade" install?  Or will doing a fresh install be recommended?
[04:49] <cory__> i know what some of the commands mean, and how to use them, from what ive learned today.
[04:49] <Geoffrey2> ani1: start Firefox in safe mode, or Ubuntu?
[04:49] <kdorf> cory__: give you a hint at the console... "man" is your friend. ctrl-c kills a running program in console
[04:49] <ani1> Geoffrey2: firefox
[04:49] <cory__> man = Manual right?
[04:49] <kdorf> cory__: right.
[04:49] <cory__> sudo for permissions
[04:49] <cory__> getw for downloads....
[04:50] <orudie> bazhang: are you there?
[04:50] <ani1> Geoffrey2: firefox -safe-mode uncheck all the boxes hit continue try to duplicate if you can use firefox -ProfileManager and create a new profile see if you can duplicate it let me know if you make it that far still with a problem
[04:50] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: No.. wget
[04:50] <kdorf> cory__: sudo for anything you need admin rights for. =) means "super user do"
[04:50] <scone> Why does gedit save a copy starting with ~?
[04:50] <ani1> kdorf: unless its gui then you use gksudo
[04:50] <computer_> how do make limewire's default player to be VLC? anyone?
[04:50] <computer_> how do I make limewire's default player to be VLC? anyone?
[04:50] <cory__> Yea, i read that somewhere
[04:51] <kdorf> computer_: in nautilus, right click on the file and go to properties and go to the "open with" tab
[04:51] <Zimbo> Scone: Traditionally files starting with '~' are backup copies in case something goes wrong with the edited version
[04:51] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ok, so start in safe mode, and make sure there are NO checks in any of the boxes?
[04:51] <cory__> it says operation completed in Envy, should i just close the window and restart?
[04:51] <kdorf> computer_: choose VLC for that file type, and it should work.
[04:51] <orudie> i try finding a file by typing this "locate webshortcutlist.txt" but it wont find return any search results
[04:51] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: I stuck a Hardy beta CD in while running Gutsy and it asked if I wanted to upgrade. So it looks like an upgrade is tested. But I always prefer a clean install.
[04:51] <cory__> im back to the command line
[04:51] <scone> Zimbo, should I just ignore them?
[04:51] <kdorf> cory__: yeah, give it a whirl, see what happens.
[04:51] <ani1> Geoffrey2: check all the boxes you want to eliminate all possible problems so startup without the tool bars and extensions enabled
[04:51] <FourX4Luvn> scone: It's a way of automatically creating a backup for you.  For instance, if the power goes out while you're editing the file.  that file starting with '~' will be the file from when you started editing it.. (minus all your changes)
[04:51] <cory__> Alright, brb
[04:51] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ah, oik
[04:52] <astro76> orudie: the locate database is updated once daily by a cron job, you can update it now with sudo updatedb
[04:52] <scone> Thanks for the answer guys.
[04:52] <AdemoS> One more issue: Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit; Whenever I try to drag a volume manager or trash applet from the Gnome Panel menu, it gives me these errors http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7043/twopanelerrorsqf4.png --- I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gnome-Panel, with no luck
[04:52] <bazhang> orudie: yes
[04:52] <Zimbo> Scone: Yeah, I'd ignore them until you're sure your changes are correct and then delete them.  Most editors have an option somewhere for not creating them in the first place if they bother you.
[04:52] <Zimbo> Thanks DistroJockey
[04:52] <scone> zimbo, thanks alot
[04:52] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: np
[04:52] <orudie> bazhang: hey man, trying to locate a file and locate filename.txt wont work
[04:52] <moogmusic> which is the fastest filesystem at the moment, guys?
[04:52] <ani1> orudie: then use find
[04:52] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: no file system at all
[04:53] <moogmusic> FourX4Luvn:  then what?
[04:53] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:53] <kdorf> moogmusic: since ext2 doesn't journal like ext3 does, ext2 is faster if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about reiserfs or others.
[04:53] <orudie> ani1: find doesnt work
[04:53] <moogmusic> what about xfs, zfs
[04:53] <ani1> orudie: ...as in you dont know how to use it or its not finding the file
[04:53] <nickeldeuce> so whenever i have compiz running, i randomly lose keyboard input in a particular application. anyone heard of this before?
[04:54] <orudie> ani1: i typed "find filename.txt"
[04:54] <Zimbo> I have a question on linking... I've been reading about hard links and symbolic links, and was curious... (1) on a default install of Gutsy, all the links are symbolic, right?  and... (2) is there a command that sniffs out hard links?  Or does everyone just do something like ls -ilR | sort | <<some flavor of uniq>> ?
[04:54] <orudie> ani1:  returned no such file or directory
[04:54] <ani1> orudie: find /path -name "filename.txt"
[04:54] <kdorf> moogmusic: take a look at wikipedia, I'm sure it will offer some insight. =) that's where I was looking at them.
[04:54] <spudratic> hello this is from my sys log I know proto is protocol spt=source port and dpt destination port is this correct and lol which port is mine source or destination  PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353
[04:54] <Triple|Ubuntu> .bungie.org
[04:54] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: If you're wanting to eek out every last drop of performance from a drive, typically you'd use a database on a raw disk.  Hence no filesystem at all.  What you're looking for would most likely be ext3 though.  Reiser is a bit slower simply because you can't use hdparm to tweak it.

[04:55] <CDOG> HI. I recently posted that i left my computer on i think at about 6 PM and then left. (and think someone found out my password and has been logging into my account) I copy pasted some information from the aut.log file i was a bit confused. By the looks of this: http://pastebin.com/d4ea3265f , has anyone logged into my account? Thanks a lot, this is very important
[04:55] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: Err.. excuse me.. you can't use e2fs, rather.
[04:55] <cory__> i think it worked
[04:55] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Doesn't journaling cause ext3 to be slower than ext2?
[04:55] <cory__> testing it out now
[04:55] <kdorf> cory__: awesome. the ultimate test would be compiz fusion :)
[04:55] <cory__> Whats compiz fusion?
[04:56] <orudie> ani1: i thats the whole point that i dont know the path where the file is, whats the purpose of searching if you already know the path
[04:56] <bazhang> !compiz | cory__
[04:56] <ubotu> cory__: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[04:56] <ani1> orudie: then use /
[04:56] <cory__> Whats that for?
[04:56] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:56] <kdorf> cory__: makes your desktop prettier.
[04:56] <ani1> cory__: read the link
[04:56] <cory__> Oh...
[04:56] <Geoffrey2> ani1: well, safe mode seems to have eliminated the problem...previously, Firefox was either crashing or freezing within 15-20 seconds of being started
[04:56] <cory__> ill check it out
[04:57] <kentsusai> anyone know of a decent file browser that has word wrapping features for really long filenames? 250+ char??
[04:57] <spudratic> cory all the cool effects
[04:57] <FourX4Luvn> kdorf: Not if you set async.  Assuming you're running a relatively new CPU, that is.  If it's an old computer there is some processing overhead that may end up making it slower overall.
[04:57] <Zimbo> I have a question on linking... I've been reading about hard links and symbolic links, and was curious... (1) on a default install of Gutsy, all the links are symbolic, right?  and... (2) is there a command that sniffs out hard links?  Or does everyone just do something like ls -ilR | sort | <<some flavor of uniq>> ?
[04:57] <ani1> Geoffrey2: also if you have a lot of entries that point to 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts file make sure their spaced correctly and pointed correctly to loopback this happened to me and all browsers seg faulted. You may just want to create a new profile then and one by one reinstall you plugins
[04:57] <nikrud> cory__ http://pop.youtube.com/watch?v=lawkc3jH3ws for compiz demonstration
[04:58] <cory__> Tell me if this sounds like a good system to you. Amd 64x2 2.0 ghz, 4 Gigz ddr2 800 ram, 8800gt Good for linux?
[04:58] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Righto then. =)
[04:58] <kdorf> cory__: That's more tha sufficient.
[04:58] <bhlewis> CDOG: looks like someone tried to login as an unknown user three times between 22:04 and 22:05 but it doesn't look like any successful logins happened (that were left in the logs, anyway)
[04:58] <kdorf> than**
[04:58] <nikrud> cory__ barely adequate. If you like, you could mail it to me and you can get another
[04:58] <kdorf> lol @ nikrud.
[04:58] <cory__> lol
[04:58] <awl> every time i run vimtutor, i get this empty vim file
[04:58] <bhlewis> CDOG: I'm assuming it *was* you that logged in as you at 23:05
[04:59] <ani1> kentsusai: the maximum file names are 255
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> kdorf: Just be warned... by turning on async you run the risk of data corruption in the event of a power failure.  Unfortunately speed and data integrity are more or less mutually exclusive.. Unless you have a RAID 5 array
[04:59] <Rubie> fourx4luvn: anymore suggestions?
[04:59] <spudratic> spt or dpt in system log for guarddog which port is the port of my computer lol
[04:59] <hischild> what was the command to free a locked database from a crashed apt-get?
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: You used the converter that was linked in the article?
[04:59] <cory__> Hmm
[04:59] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Fortunately I'm not the one who needs blazing speed from my filesystem. ext3 as installed is just fine for me =)
[04:59] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' helped for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:59] <cory__> is there a way to check running processes?
[05:00] <Rubie> i have wpa-psk
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: ps -A
[05:00] <faileas> !fixapt
[05:00] <Rubie> not wep
[05:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixapt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:00] <faileas> !aptfix
[05:00] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[05:00] <hischild> faileas, thank you
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: ps aux
[05:00] <cory__> how do i close one
[05:00] <spudratic> cory system monitor in system adminastration
[05:00] <kdorf> cory__: kill <process id>
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: sudo pkill name or sudo kill -9  <process id>
[05:00] <CDOG> bhlewis, im not 100% it was me at 23.05, i either logged in at that time or logged in a few minutes later but i think it was me. thanks a million. By the way, what does that mean as unknown user, does that mean it didnt actually log the username they tried to login with since it wasnt an existant one? and what is "tty6"? do you know if there is a way for it to log the name of the inexistant usernames they try to log in with. Thanks
[05:01] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: I know that.. but ascii to hex (and vice versa) is the same, regardless.  Put the hex key that your program returns into this link.. select 'hex to ascii' and try the resulting output: http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/
[05:01] <cory__> Thanks
[05:01] <ani1> cory__: if it helps with getting a GUI app GPS is a decent one
[05:01] <cory__> Dont have to sudo for 15 mins :)

[05:01] <tarkus> are all the interface toolkits utilizing just pixmaps? and images for their design?
[05:02] <cory__> kk,, afk a sec
[05:02] <tarkus> wondering why we havent yet picked up on vector and scalable geomerty
[05:02] <xpistos_> I am dual booting and I want to know how big I can make my Vfat part
[05:02] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?
[05:02] <xpistos_> Anybody?
[05:02] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ok, if I just delete .mozilla from my home folder, I'd be starting off with a fresh profile?
[05:03] <CDOG> xpistos_ depends on where you want to store all your files and how much data those files occupy
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: eek you didnt have to do that but yeah it will ultimately achieve the same thing..In the future you may just want to move it if theirs anything you would need to get a hold of book marks etc.
[05:03] <spudratic> xpistos I think 40 gig is recomendid
[05:03] <Geoffrey2> ani1: actually, I didn't do anything yet...just asking
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: its better to use the -ProfileManager flag and hit net
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: new*
[05:03] <xpistos_> I will put the program files in ext3, but I want a vfat for everything else so Windows systems can read the data
[05:04] <morhon> could anyone please tell me how to fix the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" problem with ATI Radeon 9600Pro? restricted drivers aren't working, so are the standard ones, and the configuration doesn't work aswell...
[05:04] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  nothing happens when i try to translate it.  i tried http://www.dolcevie.com/js/converter.html earlier and i get question marks in the output.  my guess is the one you gave me doesn't know what to do with the unknown characters and crashes
[05:04] <tarkus> are all the interface toolkits utilizing just pixmaps? and images for their design?
[05:04] <ani1> Geoffrey2: thats good yeah you can just mv .mozilla .mozillaold but its better to use Profile Manager
[05:04] <xpistos_> spudratic_ thanks
[05:05] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Hrm... and you're positive it's hex?
[05:05] <xpistos_> CDOG Thanks as well
[05:05] <goose_> how can I connect to a shared printer that's being hosted by a mac?
[05:05] <cory__> Well hmm sound isnt working now
[05:05] <bhlewis> CDOG: tty6 is probably the screen that shows up if you press Alt-F6 (or Ctrl-Alt-F6 from X).  I don't know why the actual username wasn't logged -- it would have been on the systems I'm familiar with, but that's Solaris.
[05:06] <cory__> Fixed it :)
[05:07] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Try this one, maybe?  http://www.speedguide.net/wlan_key.php
[05:07] <CDOG> bhlewis oh ok thanks. yeah the thing is for somereason, after i leave the login screen on for a while (when i click on switch user) the screen goes blank, well it goes yellowish and you cant see a thing.. so then they pressed Ctrl-Alt-F6, to get that screen?
[05:07] <Zimbo> Dumb question: Why do the GNU utilities (as installed on Ubuntu) use --options rather than just -option?  (I really many accept -option as well, I'm curious why --option is considered better.)
[05:08] <Starnestommy> Zimbo: because there may also be -o, -p, -t, -i, or -n
[05:08] <FourX4Luvn> Zimbo: The general convention is to use a single '-' for single letter switches and '--' for word based switches.
[05:08] <bhlewis> CDOG: quite possibly.  If I press Ctrl-Alt-F6 on my Ubuntu laptop, I see "tty6" alongside the hostname above the login prompt.
[05:08] <Zimbo> Starnestommy: OK, but I was thinking of all the duplicated ones, like "ls -r" being the same as "ls --reverse"
[05:09] <doofy`> Does anyone here use lyx? I installed some tex-live extra packages and I need to use one of them (mla-paper) in lyx. Is there a way to do this?
[05:09] <goose_> how can I connect to a shared printer that's being hosted by a mac?
[05:09] <morhon> could anyone please tell me how to fix the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" problem with ATI Radeon 9600Pro? restricted drivers aren't working, so are the standard ones, and the configuration doesn't work aswell...
[05:09] <spudratic> ok one last time any one in system log spt or dpt my port on my cpu this is for vlc and shoutcast
[05:09] <Zimbo> Most of the ls options have both a -option and --option variant!  Hmm... I guess the -options are usually a single character and --options are spelled out though... that makes sense
[05:10] <TerminusEst> good evening everyone
[05:10] <CDOG> bhlewis, well youve been great help, i guess i can feel safe now.. the person who tried to login, i do know who it is, is just such an ass, when will he ever get a life. Bye and thanks again
[05:10] <fab4fan> hi all
[05:10] <tux97> hi fab4fan
[05:10] <fab4fan> I need some help with partitioning a hard drive
[05:10] <fab4fan> it's a 40GB second drive
[05:10] <nickeldeuce> so whenever i have compiz running, i randomly lose keyboard input in a particular application. anyone heard of this before?
[05:11]  * TerminusEst slaps fab4fan around a bit with a large trout
[05:11] <fab4fan> I've got it partitioned but it's not showing up in "places"
[05:11] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: I guess if you were scripting, --option would be easier to follow. But if you are doing a one off quicky, -o is quicker.
[05:11] <TerminusEst> which partitioner?
[05:11] <nickeldeuce> Zimbo, it has to do with the origin of the utility
[05:11] <fab4fan> Gpart
[05:11] <nickeldeuce> GNU had a different convention than everyone else
[05:11] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: I've had it happen before. Compiz is a bit buggy, that's what I would attribute it to
[05:11] <spudratic> later all happy Easter to those who partake
[05:11] <Rubie> i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
[05:11] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: try restarting compiz.
[05:12] <nickeldeuce> it does it nearly every time i log in, so i dunno how that would help
[05:12] <Zimbo> ok, thanks guys, those are pretty good reasons
[05:12] <fab4fan> when I edited the fstab file it created a new one called fstab~
[05:12] <nickeldeuce> :P
[05:12] <TerminusEst> partitioned as Ext2?
[05:12] <Zimbo> I'm sure it was something Richard Stallman came up with one day at lunch :-)
[05:12] <fab4fan> terminus: no Ext3
[05:12] <DistroJockey> :)
[05:12] <nikrud> never thought stallman needed to eat
[05:12] <TerminusEst> hummm
[05:12] <barslow> hello, i broke my ubuntu partition, so i reinstalled a new version on a different HD.... now i want to edit files on the broken partition but i dont have read/write access.... can someone help?
[05:12] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
[05:12] <cory__> Well poop
[05:12] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: you lose all keyboard input in one particular application, is that correct?
[05:13] <Rubie> fourx4luvn and the key is 9faaa41359297209c77ca2181d15ca53592385e635ecb3c6702f017c72215f6a
[05:13] <TerminusEst> strange, i got this same problem with 6.10 once
[05:13] <bhlewis> CDOG: good luck dealing with that person
[05:13] <cory__> I have sound when i test, but not in game..lol
[05:13] <druke> what is the package to needed to open .rar files
[05:13] <kdorf> cory__: run winecfg and try setting your sound to ALSA
[05:13] <ani1> unrar druke
[05:13] <TerminusEst> but when i upgraded to feisty it disappeared
[05:13] <Rubie> now what i'm supposed to do with that i don't know
[05:13] <druke> ani1, ah hah!! thanks
[05:13] <nikrud> barslow is the old partition mounted, and is it ext3?
[05:13] <Zimbo> I read somewhere that he claims to live in his office at times... apparently he's still being paid as a post-doc and hence never had the money to buy a real house.  I expect he's quite a character in person...
[05:13] <fab4fan> terminus:  I found the ubuntu help page and got the fstab file edited
[05:13] <nickeldeuce> yep
[05:13] <hischild> druke, that'd be unrar if i'm correct
[05:13] <Rubie> druke it should just let you do it in ubuntu
[05:13] <fab4fan> why did gedit save fstab as fstab~
[05:14] <druke> Rubie, nope need unrar, couldn't recall the name
[05:14] <ani1> fab4fan: its a backup file fstab~ is
[05:14] <TerminusEst> fab4fan: backup file
[05:14] <nickeldeuce> kdorf, sometimes i can go for hours, other times it happens after  typing a few words
[05:14] <ani1> fab4fan: run diff on them you'll see the difference :)
[05:14] <barslow> nikrud: i can mount and browse and yes it is ext3, i just cant edit
[05:14] <fab4fan> ani1:  ok, I can understand that but why are the changes appearing in the backup and not the primary ?
[05:14] <nikrud> barslow do chown -R <youruser>:youruser>  /mount/point
[05:15] <Rubie> druke in windows u would need a special program such as 7zip, winrar, or unrar  but the archive manager shouldn't have any trouble dealing with .rar files
[05:15] <TerminusEst> fab4fan: perhaps the permissions?
[05:15] <ani1> if you open fstab with gedit and save the changes it will save them to fstab and keep the old settings in fstab~
[05:15] <ani1> fab4fan: ^^
[05:15] <nikrud> barslow likd chown -R rich:rich /media/sda4 or something
[05:15] <fab4fan> ani1:  that makes sense but it's the reverse in this case
[05:15] <fab4fan> the changes are saved in the backup
[05:15] <RioMerc> Hello
[05:15] <ani1> fab4fan: you must have opened the incorrect file :| just edit fstab again
[05:16] <RioMerc> I'm having some difficulty setting up dual monitors
[05:16] <druke> Rubie, in hardy beta I couldn't till just now, (after isntalling the unrar package)
[05:16] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: there's probably something triggering it. I don't know a whole lot about the workings of compiz but I might conjecture that there is a keyboard conflict or something which causes things to but out. just throwing ideas out, though
[05:16] <nikrud> fab4fan do you have an fstab~~ ?
[05:16] <fab4fan> yup, ok, I'll try again
[05:16] <fab4fan> no
[05:16] <kdorf> bug out*
[05:16] <Zimbo> Silly question #2: If bzip2 is supposedly better than gzip, why is most everything in Ubuntu .tgz format bather than .bgz?  Just historical inertia?
[05:16] <cory__> yea.. i get bad FPS now
[05:16] <Rubie> druke awwkay that clears up my confusion
[05:16] <ani1> nikrud: can that happen?
[05:16] <astro76> Zimbo: bzip compression is *slow*
[05:16] <honeypot> excuse me, i have a question, somebody know how can i limit the upload rate on linux machine
[05:16] <nikrud> ani1 I've done it
[05:16] <ani1> heh
[05:16] <ani1> never knew
[05:17] <druke> Rubie, ;) np
[05:17] <cory__> Hmmm
[05:17] <TerminusEst> Somebody here programs in C language?
[05:17] <RioMerc> I'm having some difficulty setting up Dual Monitors on my system, specifically: Everything.
[05:17] <ani1> !ot | TerminusEst
[05:17] <ubotu> TerminusEst: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:17] <Cpudan80> TerminusEst: ##C
[05:17] <Starnestommy> TerminusEst: maybe ##C
[05:18] <RioMerc> Wondering if anyone could lend a hand
[05:19] <fab4fan> an1:  do I need the # at the beginning of the line ?
[05:19] <TerminusEst> geez, i tried ##C, but no one there could help, everyone were chatting about girlfriends and their isteria
[05:19] <druke> RioMerc, what ubuntu version
[05:19] <ani1> fab4fan: if your talking about fstab # is a comment
[05:19] <RioMerc> Latest, 7.10
[05:19] <ani1> fab4fan: meaning if you put a # in front of what you typed it wouldnt take effect its ignored
[05:19] <cory__> Is google down??
[05:20] <ani1> no
[05:20] <cory__> Oh there it goes
[05:20] <ani1> wtf
[05:20] <TerminusEst> nope
[05:20] <druke> RioMerc, well haven't done it myself but I would imagine you would be using the screen tool under the administrator menu
[05:20] <RioMerc> Sort of right
[05:20] <RioMerc> It's greyed out though
[05:20] <TerminusEst> so, is there another channel about programming in general?
[05:21] <druke> RioMerc, you using two cards or just two ports on the same card
[05:21] <ani1> TerminusEst: look in the chan list :\
[05:21] <RioMerc> Two ports on the same card
[05:21] <RioMerc> I presume I'm fucked?
[05:21] <druke> RioMerc, language please, sec
[05:21] <cory__> !cedega
[05:21] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[05:21] <RioMerc> Apologies
[05:22] <cory__> There we go
[05:22] <RioMerc> Forgot about that, I'm used to the over-18 internet :)
[05:22] <cory__> <3 Google
[05:22] <cory__> <3 ubotu
[05:22] <thatGuy> .
[05:22] <obst> TerminusEst: ##c++
[05:22] <druke> RioMerc, should be able to set it as 'plug and play' .. let me see on mine real quick
[05:22] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Could the ascii key be in a language other than english?
[05:22] <RioMerc> Tried
[05:22] <TerminusEst> got it, thx
[05:22] <RioMerc> It only clones the two desktops
[05:23] <RioMerc> Allow me to specify what I mean by dual monitors
[05:23] <RioMerc> Extended monitors
[05:23] <RioMerc> So that the two act as one big screen
[05:23] <TerminusEst> Ubuntu rules, SloWindow$ shall die
[05:23] <druke> RioMerc, right i've done the same, you using ati or nvidia
[05:23] <RioMerc> Ati
[05:23] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Or do you use something other than Windows' "Wireless Zero Configuration" utility to connect?  The software that came with the wireless adapter perhaps?
[05:24] <cory__> Uhhhh
[05:24] <cory__> Not sure if im gonna do this right...lol
[05:24] <Dr_willis> RioMerc,  what is your video card setup?
[05:24] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  i highly doubt it.  i don't think it works in the same manner as wep cuz im kinda following ur thinking process, just that wpa doesn't work that way
[05:24] <druke> RioMerc, ah thats the difference in our experiances nvidia actually has a tool for dual monitors...  did you check the forums already?
[05:24] <RioMerc> Dr_willis, Hmm?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> Nvidia and Twinview - is rather easy to setup a wide desktop, or clones, or other ways
[05:25] <RioMerc> x_x
[05:25] <RioMerc> Sort of, druke
[05:25] <RioMerc> Found out about MergedBuffer, Twinview and all of that
[05:25] <RioMerc> I even tried out a MergedBuffer config using a tutorial, much phail for me
[05:25] <RioMerc> Lucky Nvidia users, why do they get all the support :(
[05:26] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, if the computer you're on is the only thing that is connected to your router or WAP, then what about resetting it to factory defaults, then creating a new key?
[05:26] <Rubie> fourx4luvn i don't think that's it either,  i can see that the key is 8 characters long in the wireless network properties, i just can't see it
[05:26] <druke> RioMerc, because nvidia has released stuff for us alot longer, also linakge http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 is the best I got
[05:26] <jesse> how do i get ubotu to give me information on a packages?
[05:26] <jesse> package*
[05:26] <Dr_willis> RioMerc, twinview is nvidia only - if you are using ati. I got no idea then. :)
[05:26] <ani1> jesse: !info
[05:27] <ani1> jescis: you can pm the bot
[05:27] <ani1> jesse: you can pm the bot
[05:27] <RioMerc> Oh well
[05:27] <ani1> sorry jescis wrong nick tab tab
[05:27] <RioMerc> Guess I'll have to just keep trying
[05:27] <RioMerc> Thanks anyway guys
[05:27] <Rubie> fourx4luvn i would if it was my router or if my stepdad left his laptop here so they would be clueless about the transition but if i did that he would know something was changed and get real piss
[05:28] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Ahh.. Ok... But you can do what you wish with the computer that you're on now?
[05:28] <jesse> ani1: okay, so "info package", can i get it to give me info on the package in hardy, not gutsy?
[05:28] <ani1> jesse: hardy is not supported here join ubuntu+1 read the topic
[05:28] <Barurot69> is there a site that could show me how to install and boot ubuntu to a thumb drive?
[05:28] <ani1> jesse: i dont know if theirs a bot there but its going to give you info about gutsy here
[05:29] <jesse> ani1: i know its not supported, just wondering if ubotu can give me info on hardy packages
[05:29] <Rubie> fourx4luvn actually part of the whole getting on the network would have been real useful so i could burn some dvds on this desktop that exist on my dvd-burner-less laptop
[05:29] <astro76> jesse: info packagename hardy
[05:29] <Rubie> fourx4luvn and i can't connect my wii
[05:29] <jesse> astro76: sweet, ty :D
[05:29] <astro76> jesse: also http://packages.ubuntu.com is handy ;)
[05:29] <cory__> hmmmm.
[05:30] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: That's not what I meant... What I meant is, you're free to install software on the system you're on now, without getting into trouble?
[05:30] <Piffer> if you have two wireless cards on a laptop, what is a good app to show how good of a reception each card gets from an ap in ubuntu?
[05:31] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  ya they have almost no idea what they are doing with a computer, you should see the start menu its atrocious
[05:31] <bhlewis> Rubie: you might try aircrack http://www.grape-info.com/doc/linux/config/aircrack-ng-0.6.html
[05:31] <nikrud> !clone | barslow
[05:31] <ubotu> barslow: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[05:32] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Ok.. This is the best I can think.  Try reading through this and doing as it says...http://www.grape-info.com/doc/win2000srv/security/aircrack-2.3.html
[05:33] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: What we're looking to do here is run aircrack, then disconnect from the network, and reconnect to it again with aircrack running in the background.  That should allow it to find the key and then decrypt it for you.
[05:33] <Rubie> fourx4luvn ill try it out
[05:34] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Not sure if you can run it on the same computer that you're sniffing.. but it's all I can think.. and I don' thave a windows computer to test it with.
[05:34] <strance> #ubuntu-cn
[05:34] <ross`__> does anyone know some good game repositories?
[05:34] <Rubie> fourx4luvn he told me what the key was before and it was 8 characters long but someone from his work set it up and i think he mixed it up by using capital letters somewhere in it
[05:35] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, if this works, write it down in a safe place for him and for you.. heh
[05:37] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  theres a lot of good games in the repos :)
[05:37] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  depends on what you like.
[05:37] <r0bi> I've got something that's stumped me for awhile...Ubuntu Server with a software raid5 array, then LVM on top of that. Usually Linux would mount everything fine if I had the fstab mounting /dev/md0, but since I'm using LVM, it's not working. Every reboot I have to modprobe md, mdadm --assemble, then mount. (I use LVM elsewhere so the LVM stuff is already loaded). Anyone have an idea?
[05:38] <r0bi> I'm new to the "Ubuntu way of doing things" so I would rather not do the crude solution of a shell script at bootup
[05:38] <ani1> ross`__: in synaptics if you click on games the universe and multiverse have a ton of games
[05:38] <ani1> ross`__: click sections if you dont see them on the left
[05:40] <Rubie> fourx4luvn: i have absolutely no idea how it expects me to install this in windoze
[05:40] <AlexHoover> How would I set the screen resolution manually? I can only set it to non-widescreen resolutions in the preference panel.
[05:40] <tripppy> can someone point me in right direction to allow my wifi card to share the ethernet connection? AP mode?
[05:40] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Not exactly sure the solution to your problem, but isn't running lvm over RAID 5 defeating some of the benefit of the RAID 5?
[05:40] <fismoll8> can anyone help me with getting slypheed's imap to work with my gmail account?
[05:40] <aga^_^> !seen iwan
[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen iwan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:40] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  the 'freecol' is a free colonzation clone . not sure if its in the repos..but you can download/install it fairly easy. If you like that kind of game. :) been playing it all week
[05:40] <nikrud> AlexHoover that probably means you don't have the right driver installed. What video card do you have?
[05:40] <r0bi> AlexHoover:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:40] <Zimbo> AlexHoover: You edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[05:41] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: The readme.html doesn't tell you how?
[05:41] <nikrud> s/installed/in use/
[05:41] <ryrys> fismoll8, first u need to enable imap in ur gmail account
[05:41] <Zimbo> Be sure to make a backup copy since, if you screw it up, X won't boot at all. :-)  (At which pont you just copy the original back over it and re-start X.)
[05:41] <AlexHoover> nikrud, it doesn't matter. I installed Ubuntu on a couple of my PCs and I connect to them from my MacBook via. remote desktop.
[05:41] <fismoll8> ryrys: I have
[05:41] <nikrud> AlexHoover ok
[05:41] <fismoll8> I set the port to 993 as well
[05:41] <AlexHoover> Zimbo, so I set the resolution and reboot? Kewl.
[05:42] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: I'm only using LVM for partitioning really...and the ability to grow and shrink things
[05:42] <ross`__> what is freecol
[05:42] <FourX4Luvn> AlexHoover: You don't have to reboot.. just do ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:42] <ryrys> fismoll8, use evolution, its super intuitive
[05:42] <ross`__> Dr_willis: what is freecol
[05:42] <ani1> !info freecol hardy > ross`__
[05:42] <internet_> NE one good w/ vncserver?
[05:42] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: You're not spanning more than one physical drive with your volumes?
[05:42] <Rubie> fourx4luvn no... lol it's ridiculously compiled for windows. i think i might just break up the images and usb them to the desktop, i've spent way too much time trying to figure this out.  i wish it just showed you the key like in linux or os x   but windows just has to be difficult i guess
[05:43] <fismoll8> well, I've never had any trouble setting up other email clients
[05:43] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  a free version of the old sid miers colonization game.
[05:43] <fismoll8> evolution is too slow; slypheed is quite fast
[05:43] <_kavOOr_> Screenshot produces an image in png format by default. I want to change this to be a JPEG image.
[05:43] <_kavOOr_> Is it possible ?
[05:43] <Zimbo> Alex: Unfortunately, it's often not *quite* that simple.  You can by all means edit the file and reboot and see what happens, but if the video card's device driver doesn't like your parameters (e.g., the resolution you specify) it may just make X quit completely.  Like most things in Linux, some of the video drivers are much more robust than others when it comes to trying to respect your "wishes" per xorg.conf.
[05:43] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, you knew that part already :)  Hrm.. Yeah, I have no other ideas for you... sorry.
[05:44] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: RAID5 --> /dev/md0 (from hdc1,hde1,hdg1); LVM --> /dev/mapper/volGrp2-logVol0  (from md0)
[05:44] <ryrys> fismoll8, I prefer thunderbird, in tastes nothing is writting :3
[05:44] <Zimbo> Alex: But you might as well try and see what happens. :-)  To edit xorg.conf, use something like "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" -- by default regular users can't access it (hence the use of sudo)
[05:44] <ross`__> hmmm
[05:45] <ross`__> can anyone tell me a good online rpg that you can download from repo
[05:45] <ross`__> or just a good rpg
[05:45] <ross`__> doesn't need good graphics
[05:45] <ross`__> just fun
[05:45] <ryrys> dopewars :3
[05:45] <AlexHoover> Zimbo, I did "sudo pico -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[05:45] <Dr_willis> !info crossfire | ross`__
[05:45] <AlexHoover> Worked fine.
[05:45] <ubotu> ross`__: Package crossfire does not exist in gutsy
[05:45] <ani1> ross`__: planeshift is a poor mans WoW but not in repo
[05:45] <Dr_willis> Ack
[05:45] <Zimbo> Alex: Great
[05:45] <Dr_willis> !find crossfire
[05:45] <ubotu> Found: crossfire-client, crossfire-client-gtk, crossfire-client-gtk2, crossfire-client-images, crossfire-client-sounds (and 7 others)
[05:45] <ryrys> ross`__, dopewars :3
[05:45] <ani1> !info crossfire hardy
[05:45] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  check out crossfire.
[05:45] <ubotu> Package crossfire does not exist in hardy
[05:45] <AlexHoover> But now I have a bigger issue - when I reboot or reload X, it doesn't automatically log back in.
[05:46] <internet_> I vnc into my linux box and it starts GNOME but the app launcher at the bottom is not there. How do I configure that?
[05:46] <AlexHoover> And remote desktop cant connect before I log back in.
[05:46] <ross`__> its funny you mention crossfire
[05:46] <ross`__> i host my own crossfire server and have for years
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Oh, ok.  Well, have you looked here?  This describes how to setup exactly what you have. http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php
[05:46] <ross`__> :)
[05:46] <AlexHoover> How do I allow remote desktop connections at the login screen?
[05:46] <Zimbo> I've apparently drunk too much of the GNU kool aid already and hence default to nano rather than pico :-)
[05:46] <ross`__> other then crossfire?
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> :P
[05:46] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  google and look at the linux game tome site.
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> vim all the way
[05:46] <ross`__> mmm
[05:46] <ross`__> yea but i mean
[05:46] <ross`__> suggestions, what have you personally played
[05:47] <ross`__> and find fun
[05:47] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  there was a new release of that 3d GPL MMORPG  last week i think
[05:47] <ross`__> for rpg
[05:47] <FourX4Luvn> ;-) @ Zimbo
[05:47] <Zimbo> Alex: If you change back to the original xorg.conf everything works again?
[05:47] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  IRC is the ultimate MMORPG.
[05:47] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:47] <ryrys> ross`__, i used to play dopewars, but it seems no one likes now :(
[05:47] <ross`__> is "heroes-common" and the other heroes packages the game heroes that is a stradegy turn based game
[05:47] <ryrys> gta san andreas drop it at all :B
[05:47] <AlexHoover> Zimbo: no
[05:47] <Dr_willis> Heros is a 'worms/lightcycle' type game
[05:47] <User353> hlall
[05:48] <AlexHoover> Zimbo: I just never thought of this before I set my resolutions. ;P
[05:48] <gamergod131> How can I write songs to my ipod classic?
[05:48] <internet_> I vnc into my linux box and it starts GNOME but the app launcher at the bottom is not there. How do I configure that?
[05:48] <ani1> !ipod | gamergod131
[05:48] <ubotu> gamergod131: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:49] <ross`__> there was a game for windows.. innerspace can you play that with linux
[05:49] <Dr_willis> internet_,  how are you running vnc?
[05:49] <ross`__> its a game where you go thru all of your directories collecting icons as money
[05:49] <ross`__> its really fun
[05:49] <Zimbo> Alex: So you changed resolutions with the GUI and things broke?  Hmm... I'm unfortunately not knowledgable enough to be of much help, I think.  (I had something similar to what you're getting happen once when I updated KDE and it took me quite a bit of Googling to eventually find the one magic file that the update corrupted and "fix" it...)
[05:49] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  check the wine app database I guess see if wine can handle it
[05:49] <Piffer> is there a commander keen for linux?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> !appdb | ross`__
[05:49] <ubotu> ross`__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[05:49] <internet_> Dr: Do you mean as a multisession?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> Piffer,  dosbox can run that. :)
[05:50] <Dr_willis> internet_,  you can run vnc to share the CURRENT desktop from gnome, or you can run 'vncserver'
[05:50] <Starnestommy> internet_: right click on the bottom panel, select "Add to panel", scroll down to "Utilities", select "Run application", then hit "add"
[05:50] <ross`__> mmm
[05:50] <internet_> vncserver
[05:50] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: Yeah, that was one of the sites I used to help set it up. It works great, I jsut appear to lose the array after I reboot. Right now I just wrote my own startup script to run "modprobe md" & " mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1" & "mount /mnt/raid5" upon booting, but I know there is a better way to achieve this :p
[05:50] <ross`__> is there a way to do somethign like apt-get install with wine?
[05:50] <ross`__> for windows stuff?
[05:50] <tag> Is there a way for me to add a folder to the "Places" menu?
[05:50] <tag> A non-network folder
[05:50] <deformation> tag yes
[05:51] <Dr_willis> internet_,  the file .vnc/xstartup defines what gets ran by default. It may need to be running 'gnome-session' instead of whatever its running now. I tend to use VERY light wndow managers for vnc. the full gnome destop can get real sluggush
[05:51] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: actually, I put "md" in /etc/modules
[05:51] <ani1> ross`__: check out winedoors its unsupported but its probably what your looking for
[05:51] <tag> well of course there is a way
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  drag/drop it to the places thing on the left side of the file manager
[05:51] <tag> oh
[05:51] <tag> nice
[05:51] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Yes, you're right, there is.. I thought the article said where to put what so it would mount at startup...
[05:51] <tag> nautilus ftw!
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  and so bvious people overlook it.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  untill you do it by mistake. :)
[05:52] <internet_> Dr: I set it to gnome-session but the app launcher bar at the menu is not there.
[05:52] <ross`__> winedoors lets you install packages similar to apt-get install?
[05:52] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Right.. But how does one mount them in fstab.. The raid volume or the LVM volume?  LVM since LVM contains the RAID volumes?  I wouldn't know for sure on that one
[05:52] <internet_> I don't need it but my SO does
[05:53] <Dr_willis> internet_,  You did restart the vncsession,  make it run a terminal, and run it from a command line. It may not like having 2 gnome sessions going at the same time.. yet ANOTHER reason  i dont use gnome for my vnc desktop
<font color="#FF>0000">.<b><font color="#FF0000">.<b><font color="#FF>0000">.<b><font color="#FF0000">.
[05:53] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: yeah my fstab is /dev/mapper/volGrp2-logVol0  /mnt/raid5 xfs...etc
[05:53] <crashhandler> <_<;
[05:54] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Oh.. ok.. so your only problem is the module isn't being loaded?
[05:54] <tag> Dr_willis: I always have that side pane hidden
[05:54] <tag> Dr_willis: so I kind of forgot about it
[05:54] <Dr_willis> tag,  :)
[05:54] <internet_> Dr: u recommend xfce or enlightment?
[05:54] <Alives> how do you reinstall a package and make it re-write its configs when it reinstalls?
[05:54] <Dr_willis> internet_,  depend son wha tyou want . I dont like enlightenment at all. - for vnc i tend to use jwm
[05:54]  * Dr_willis smacks his space key hard.
[05:55] <Dr_willis> Alives,  remove it with the PURGE option, and reinstall it.
[05:55] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package>
[05:55] <Alives> thx!!
[05:55] <Dr_willis> depending on the package. :)
[05:55] <Alives> php5
[05:55] <gamergod131> is there a command to make compiz use emerald theme manager on start up?
[05:56] <_kavOOr_> compiz --replace -c emerald &
[05:56] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: Ahh.. Then do Dr_willis' command instead
[05:56] <fly> ...
[05:56] <druke> gamergod131, as _kavOOr_ said or use compiz fusion icon for easy setup
[05:56] <gamergod131> ahh, my panels disapeard
[05:56] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge php5 && sudo apt-get reinstall php5'
[05:56] <Alives> use which app to remove?  aptitude?  apt-get?  dpkg?
[05:57] <Alives> ok
[05:57] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: once I added md to /etc/modules it (naturally) loaded md, but a if you cat /proc/mdstat, md0 isn't listed. (without loading md, mdstat doesn't exist) only after reassembling the raid you get md0 : active raid5 hdc1[0] hdg1[2] hde1[1]
[05:57] <r0bi>       234371968 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
[05:57] <_kavOOr_> gamergod131: U can also use compiz switch
[05:57] <gamergod131> so did the border window
[05:57] <Chris_____> I've been having trouble installing Gusty (7.10) of Ubuntu. Every time I try installing, it starts then it drops me into BusyBox. I searched the forums, wiki, and Google.
[05:57] <Alives> if i remove --purge why not install instead of reinstall?
[05:57] <druke> gamergod131, did you have emerald installed?
[05:57] <gamergod131> yes
[05:57] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: and only then can you mount /mnt/raid5
[05:58] <gamergod131> I installed it just a second ago
[05:58] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: 'reinstall' will not check for the package on the internet.  You already have it in /var/cache/apt/archive
[05:58] <Alives> oh cool
[05:58] <druke> gamergod131, try 'compiz --replace'
[05:58] <druke> gamergod131, then install compiz switch or compiz fusion icon
[05:58] <Alives> FourX4Luvn: so when i remove --purge im getting dependancy issues... how do i tell it to ignore that?
[05:58] <gamergod131> How do I get tothe terminal?
[05:59] <druke> gamergod131, alt-f2 'gnome-terminal'

[05:59] <orksnork> hey guys, i've got a bit of a problem with a printer
[05:59] <ross`__> is stratagus fun
[05:59] <orksnork> anyone feel up to giving a fairly new ubuntu guy a hand?
[05:59] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Odd.. never seen anyone that ran lvm over raid, so I really have no suggestions for you.  I know what you're seeing isn't normal, but no idea how to fix it.. sorry
[05:59] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: add '--force' too
[05:59] <druke> orksnork, just ask, its actually against the rules ot ask if you can ask ;)
[06:00] <orksnork> doh! :D
[06:00] <orksnork> ok
[06:00] <ross`__> Dr_willis: have you played stratagus, and if so. is it fun?
[06:00] <Alives> $ sudo apt-get remove --purge --force libapache2-mod-php5 libphp-adodb php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-mysql php5-snmp
[06:00] <Alives> E: Command line option --force is not understood
[06:00] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: no problem, I appreciate you listening to me though :)
[06:01] <orksnork> Well, I've got a Canon PIXMA IP4000 that I just hooked up, grabbed from a PC house, worked perfectly fine, and after hooking it up, finding the right driver, everything seems fine...but it's printing things in the top right corner, as if the paper was 4x6 post card or something
[06:01] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: oops.. it's '--force-yes'
[06:01] <orksnork> ive checked the settings, it's set for A4
[06:01] <Alives> cool
[06:01] <orksnork> everything seems right....
[06:01] <lachlan> in ubuntu is there a back up program to back up all my files (and settings if possibele) so when 8.04 is released i can run a clean install?
[06:01] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  nope. never heard of it
[06:01] <cyntek> im very confused on how to set up window client to access Hard drive on a ubuntu system.
[06:01] <Chris_____> I've been having trouble installing Gusty (7.10) of Ubuntu. Every time I try installing, it starts then it drops me into BusyBox. I searched the forums, wiki, and Google.
[06:02] <Chris_____> :/
[06:02] <Cpudan80> cyntek: How do you want the windows client to access the machine?
[06:02] <nikrud> orksnork if you print something longer than one page, does it use a separate page for each? (if you say yes, I'm not thinking of the right thing)
[06:02] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Probably the easiest way to do that would be simplebackup.. I'll dig up a URL.. gimmie a second...
[06:02] <Cpudan80> cyntek: Do you want to do a direct access from within windows? (ie. as a hard drive)?
[06:02] <nikrud> !sbackup
[06:02] <ubotu> sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe
[06:02] <cyntek> well, I have one hard drive that my girlfriend needs access to from her windows xp
[06:02] <xpistos_>  night everyone
[06:02] <Q_Continuum> Interesting Issue: Dell e1505, came with 7.04, currently running 7.10.  Does NOT hibernate when battery is 'critically low' - it just keeps going until it dies, then loses power.
[06:03] <cyntek> with Read and write access.
[06:03] <orksnork> nikrud: yes, i printed a 17 page pdf doc, and it printed each page, but just each in the top corner
[06:03] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[06:03] <orksnork> and thank you, i appreciate the help
[06:03] <ross`__> anyway i have selected my packages
[06:03] <orksnork> i just recently got into ubuntu, and it's the best move ive ever made
[06:03] <Cpudan80> cyntek: Are the hard drives in the same physical machine?
[06:03] <cyntek> That's it, all i wanna do.
[06:03] <nikrud> orksnork then it's not 4 up prining like I suspected. I've only got experience with hp printers
[06:03] <ross`__> im gonna go to sleep now, and hope they will be done without error when i awake
[06:03] <cyntek> The hard drive is in my ubunto machine
[06:03] <ross`__> see ya all!
[06:04] <orksnork> hrm ok...
[06:04] <Cpudan80> cyntek: So you want her to access your HD remotely?
[06:04] <FourX4Luvn> !samba | cyntek
[06:04] <ubotu> cyntek: 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.
[06:04] <orksnork> Anyone else have any ideas?
[06:04] <Cpudan80> If so... then you need what FourX4Luvn said
[06:04] <cyntek> Yes, with read and write access
[06:04] <mhall53> can someone help me get my broadcom wireless card working, i have tried every online tutorial i could find
[06:04] <lachlan> FourX4luven ahh thank you. now would i also be able to use that to back up the windows partition i use with my ubuntu system? (windows is broken but i still need the files
[06:05] <AnthraxDream> Hi
[06:05] <AnthraxDream> Can I get some help real quick?
[06:05] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Do you mount the windows partition from within Ubuntu?
[06:05] <fismoll8> cyntek: just ssh to it
[06:05] <nikrud> !ask | AnthraxDream
[06:05] <ubotu> AnthraxDream: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:05] <lachlan> FourX4luven yes
[06:06] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Yes, it will do it just fine.  Just add the directory that you have it mounted on to the 'include' tab within sbackup.
[06:06] <AnthraxDream> What kind of parition is needed on the hard drive ubuntu is going to be installed on?
[06:06] <mhall53> lol do anyone know hwo to install a broadcom wireless card
[06:06] <nikrud> AnthraxDream ext3 is the best general usage file system
[06:06] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: You need an ext3 partition as well as a swap partion
[06:07] <AnthraxDream> I need two partitions?
[06:07] <lachlan> FourX4luven your name wouldnt happen to be a reference to the queensland beer XXXX
[06:07] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Nope :)  Refers to my other hobby besides computers... Offroading.
[06:07] <ad_267> The swap partition is usually about 2 times the size of your ram, so it's not going to be very large
[06:08] <Xpistos> Now, this is much better than Xchat
[06:08] <nikrud> AnthraxDream yes. One for the os, and one for swap. the swap only needs to be about 512mb , unless it's a laptop. Then it should be ram size plus 100mb, roughly
[06:08] <AnthraxDream> Thanks love!
[06:08] <Xpistos> nikrud - why should the swap be different on a laptop?
[06:08] <lachlan> FourX4luven righto. been was the first thing to cross my mind lol
[06:09] <nikrud> Xpistos room for hibernate
[06:09] <orksnork> Xpistos: what client are you using?
[06:09] <mhall53> does anyone know how?
[06:09] <Xpistos> but, if I have it shut off then I don''t need it correct
[06:09] <Xpistos> I am using Pidgin
[06:09] <ad_267> Hmm there's lots of different opinions on what swap size should be
[06:09] <Xpistos> I just go with 512
[06:09] <Xpistos> regardless
[06:09] <nikrud> Xpistos no, swap is used to save ram contents during hibernate.
[06:10] <Xpistos> okay
[06:10] <Xpistos> for me, I don't use hibernate, but I will adjust in the future for clients
[06:10] <nikrud> I don't use it often, only when the battery is low and I'm not sure it'll last thru suspend
[06:10] <Xpistos> true
[06:10] <orksnork> Well, I've got a Canon PIXMA IP4000 that I just hooked up, grabbed from a PC house, worked perfectly fine, and after hooking it up, finding the right driver, everything seems fine...but it's printing things in the top right corner, as if the paper was 4x6 post card or something, even when printing multiple pages, it just uses the top left area and makes everything tiny
[06:10] <orksnork> any ideas?
[06:11] <cyntek> I show that "System>Administration>Shared Folders is Setup
[06:11] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: Is that unique to Linux?  I recall Windows saying that you needed 200-300MB for hibernate.
[06:11] <Xpistos> I just get nervous back in my microshaft days that people would give their paging files like double ram size
[06:11] <Xpistos> can you say thrashing?
[06:11] <ad_267> orksnork: sorry I can't help you really, but Canon's are one of the worst printer brands for Linux support from my experience
[06:11] <nikrud> FourX4Luvn all I know is I had 1gb mem, and 1gb swap. I couldn't hibernate and syslog told me swap was too small. Others who know more than me suggested the 100mb cushion.
[06:12] <nikrud> I have 2gb now (each) and hibernate just fine though
[06:12] <orksnork> ad: that's unfortunate...freebie, and it's a pretty nice printer actually...
[06:12] <ad_267> I've got a Canon iP1600 and I had to use the iP2200 drivers which work OK, it was a very cheap printer though, costs less than the cartridges i think
[06:12] <nikrud> tttthhhrrraaashhhhiniiing
[06:12] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: Hrm.. Ok.  I never new that.. Explains why my old laptop wouldn't hibernate   lol.
[06:13] <orksnork> ad: thanks, im reading things like that, i guess i'll just try a few different drivers
[06:13] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: I always thought it just created an "encrypted" file on the drive
[06:13] <orksnork> and see if i get there
[06:13] <Xpistos> Alright my ubuntuneians I got a date with my pillow and she is a fickel mistress at that so I bid you all adeiu
[06:13] <nikrud> I didn't know either ;)
[06:13] <ad_267> orksnork, hope you get it sorted out, sorry I couldn't help more
[06:14] <Xpistos> Buenos Noches
[06:14] <FourX4Luvn> Xpistos: Pick a language :)

[06:16] <AnthraxDream> Is there a way to get windows to recognize the linux format?
[06:16] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: No
[06:16] <AnthraxDream> How would I install ubuntu onto an external harddrive then?
[06:16] <nikrud> AnthraxDream you mean read ext3?  fs-driver.org
[06:17] <Dr_willis> AnthraxDream,  windows can read ext3 see nikrud 's url
[06:17]  * FourX4Luvn raises an eyebrow
[06:17] <ad_267> AntrhaxDream: If you mean the ext3 file system there are drivers for windows, but these do not respect the file permissions and would leave your ubuntu installation vulnerable form windows
[06:17] <FourX4Luvn> hrm.. I stand corrected

[06:17] <AnthraxDream> IS there any way to do a clean install onto the ext3 partition from within windows?
[06:18] <nikrud> explore2fs is my preferred method. No write possible ;)
[06:18] <ad_267> AnthraxDream, why can't you install from the live CD?
[06:18] <AnthraxDream> I don't want to burn one @_@

[06:18] <tabman> any good torrent client for ubuntu ?
[06:18] <ad_267> You can order a CD, I'm pretty sure they're free

[06:23] <Zimbo> Is there a utility that comes with Ubuntu to print pages "2 up"?  (Two pages get printed per side of a sheet of paper.)
[06:24] <Oprtz> hello there
[06:24] <Oprtz> just need to know, can i use my A4tech webcam PK 130MG with ubuntu 7.10 ? its work well in XP,

[06:25] <FourX4Luvn> Zimbo: Hrm.. Seems there's not much info there.. Look for documentation on mpage
[06:25] <Zimbo> Thanks FourX4Luvn, I'll take a look
[06:26] <nikrud> Oprtz that support page may be old, googling   ubuntu <your exact model number> might get you some recent info
[06:26] <orksnork> Well, I've got a Canon PIXMA IP4000 that I just hooked up, grabbed from a PC house, worked perfectly fine, and after hooking it up, finding the right driver, everything seems fine...but it's printing things in the top right corner, as if the paper was 4x6 post card or something, even when printing multiple pages, it just uses the top left area and makes everything tiny, finding similar problems online from a year + ago, bu

[06:27] <thedefender> Oprtz: have you tried hooking it up?
[06:27] <FourX4Luvn> Oprtz: Then you know what you need to do.  Take a French class and get back to us when you graduate ;-)
[06:27] <bri> has anyone tried an rsbac kernel on ubuntu?

[06:35] <druke> Oprtz, had you already seen that?
[06:35] <thedefender> Oprtz: its cause of the chipset
[06:35] <Oprtz> reading the article of ununtu community
[06:35] <druke> thedefender, Oprtz's webcam worked in fiesty, needs a tweak for gutsy
[06:36] <cyntek> my girlfriend has a laptop that is wireless and I have her hard drive(NTFS)  installed on my nix box, how can she access the drive from her laptop ?

[06:36] <rabidpoobear> druke: thanks
[06:37] <thedefender> druke: no the model doesn't work in linux period
[06:37] <druke> thedefender, oh my mistake
[06:37] <Oprtz> the model no is = PK 130MG
[06:37] <Oprtz> A4tech PK 130 MG
[06:38] <thedefender> druke:http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.hardware/msg/9de6981da18441cd
[06:38] <druke> thedefender, I see that now, I had wrong model number
[06:39] <Oprtz> i can bet, when u use this camera , u will love it, but linux doesn;t support it. :(
[06:39] <thedefender> Oprtz: the camera is a no name (literally) camera
[06:40] <druke> Oprtz, technically they don't support us
[06:40] <rabidpoobear> orudie: did that work for you?
[06:40] <SpaceAviator> I cant find my conkyrc file after installing conky. any ideas?
[06:40] <thedefender> Oprtz: since it is that mean nobody knows the chipset which means there is no way to tell linux the chipset instructions (how to interface with the camera)
[06:40] <rabidpoobear> SpaceAviator: did you try searching for it w/ find?
[06:41] <killown> hey how I get gnome 2.22 on apt?
[06:41] <thedefender> Oprtz: the only reason windows can use it is because its chipset was designed to work with windows built in digicam interface
[06:41] <SpaceAviator> rabidpoobear: how do I do that? find conkyrc ?
[06:41] <rabidpoobear> thedefender: linux should be able to support a webcam standard
[06:41] <Oprtz> :(
[06:42] <Oprtz> so cant i use my acer note book camera with linux too ?
[06:42] <rabidpoobear> SpaceAviator: find / conkyrc     should work, if that's the file name
[06:42] <thedefender> Oprtz: right now a bunch of developers are trying to reverse engineer the chipset instructions.
[06:42] <Oprtz> thats good news
[06:43] <thedefender> Oprtz: until they do you can't use that camera
[06:43]  * noble- checks out
[06:43] <thedefender> Oprtz: as for the acer, either check it on the compatibility list or just plug it in
[06:43] <Oprtz> i wish ubuntu release verison 8 soon with support to webcam
[06:44] <Oprtz> its a builtin camera
[06:44] <thedefender> oprtz: wel ubuntu supports webcams, just not the piece of crap $20 ones.
[06:44] <SpaceAviator> can someone suggest a good WM with a systray and the likes... I am tired of blackbox, xfce...
[06:44] <Oprtz> lol
[06:45] <thedefender> oprtz: that webcam was made in some sweat shop in china with no regards for standards

[06:48] <Sinnerman> is there a way to disable trackerd and scrollkeeper for good?

[06:51] <thedefender> SpaceAviator: how about enlightenment?
[06:51] <thedefender> SaceAviator: tried that yet
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> thedefender: thats kinda crap too. no systray.
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> you gotta get modules and compile stuff to get just a systray
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> I think I will get openbox with pypanel
[06:52] <thedefender> this to much damn work
[06:52] <Dr_willis> use somthing else then. :)
[06:52] <xanderp> having ntp problems... i have setup my ntp.conf to use pool.ntp.org, but my system time won't keep synched with it.  I have /etc/init.d/ntp running, but it appears to not be updating the system time.
[06:52] <thedefender> if its like this all the time, Microsoft and Mac will always be the slave masters of software
[06:53] <Dr_willis> thedefender,  you do not want to get me started on the 4 hrs i spent today working on a windows machine...
[06:54] <thedefender> Dr.willis: yeah but for a snazzy interface for browsing, email, messenging, and games Vista and MAC make it very easy
[06:54] <safiyyah> combination keys suddenly not working e.g alf+f2; super + tab (other than ctrl+alt+del) it was working fine, but failed in the last 2 boot-ups, what is going on?
[06:54] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: what happens if you run ntpdate?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> i had to 'remove' the snazzy bits.. that were slowing the machine down.
[06:54] <xanderp> ntpdate pool.ntp.org will successfully update my system time.
[06:55] <Dr_willis> gave the wife Pidgen instead of yahoo messenger. :) shes much happier now.
[06:55] <thedefender> Dr.willis: sounds like a machine that shouldn't run vista
[06:55] <Dr_willis> thedefender,  its not running vista.. i removed that about a week after she got it.
[06:55] <safiyyah> guys... anyone help me?
[06:56] <Dr_willis> after cleaning it all out..its running at a decent speed now. :) Not sure what all was slowing it down. but at least its useable now.
[06:57] <thedefender> Dr_willis: I guess we should be thankful for windows and mac, if everyone ran something like ubuntu, they would never screw anything up and then all those tech guys would be homeless

[06:59] <thedefender> mhall53: have you installed ndiswrapper?
[06:59] <marjan> where can i turn off the firewall? or whatever its blocking me to open some pages?
[06:59] <user4> hantu
[06:59] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24944
[07:00] <thedefender> marjan: that depends on if its ubuntu blocking you or your router.
[07:00] <thedefender> marjan: what exactly are you trying to open?
[07:00] <marjan> www.t-mobile.com.mk :) this thedefender
[07:01] <thedefender> marjan: what is that russian?
[07:01] <marjan> no
[07:01] <marjan> The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
[07:02] <marjan> its macedonian
[07:02] <thedefender> I can view it just fine, so it isn't ubuntu.
[07:02] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: And what does your /etc/ntp.conf file look like?
[07:02] <Sinnerman> how do i permanently disable trackerd and scrollkeeper?
[07:02] <AlferedHichcok> kenboo,   what will this script do exactly?
[07:02] <thedefender> i forget whats scrollkeeper
[07:03] <thedefender> !scrollkeeper
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scrollkeeper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <marjan> maybe my mozilla how can i set it to open? thedefender
[07:03] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24945
[07:03] <thedefender> marjan: so you can visit other websites but not this one
[07:04] <marjan> yeap
[07:04] <thedefender> marjan: what version of ubuntu are you running
[07:04] <RabidWeezle> anyone know how to load up links 2 in svgalib or framebuffer mode?
[07:04] <marjan> 04
[07:04] <marjan> 7.04
[07:05] <FAJALO1> my shift s key has suddenly stopped working, does anyone know why?
[07:06] <AlferedHichcok> kenade_,  i have a.txt and b.txt i want to past words from a.txt to c.txt (only the words that do not match words in b.txt
[07:06] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: ok.. 'grep ntp /var/log/daemon.log'
[07:06] <thedefender> marjan: do you have flash installed?
[07:06] <kenboo> AlferedHichcok, I'd write  for word in `cat x.txt`; do grep -q $word b.txt && echo $word >>c.txt; done
[07:06] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: my peerstats shows a 9014 as it's status
[07:06] <xanderp> will do
[07:06] <RabidWeezle> FAJALO1, your shift key?
[07:06] <marjan> yes thedefender
[07:06] <kenboo> oops x.txt -> a.txt
[07:06] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle, yah but only with the s key
[07:07] <marjan> i can open youtube thedefender
[07:07] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle all of the other keys work with shift.
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> now that is strange
[07:07] <thedefender> hmmm
[07:07] <thedefender> well the fact i can open means that its not ubuntu cause i am running a fresh install
[07:07] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle, yah i know,
[07:07] <greeg> hi
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> did you try both shift buttons?
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> or caps lock?
[07:08] <thedefender> rabidweezle:lol
[07:08] <greeg> all applications, except Dia can see my printer. why.
[07:08] <FAJALO1> neither one works, but caps lock works normally
[07:08] <greeg> the only printer dia sees is lpr.  and when i attempt to print, Dia gives the error, lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[07:08] <RabidWeezle> try a different keyboard?
[07:08] <greeg> open office can print. gwenview can print.
[07:08] <marjan> how can i remove any firewalls or proxyes
[07:08] <FAJALO1> it just started.
[07:08] <FAJALO1> i've been using ubuntu for a week and no abnormality
[07:08] <RabidWeezle> You got an extra keyboard floating around?
[07:08] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24946
[07:09] <FAJALO1> i could come up with one prolly
[07:09] <safiyyah> combination keys suddenly not working e.g alf+f2; super + tab (other than ctrl+alt+del) it was working fine, but failed in the last 2 boot-ups, what is going on?
[07:09] <thedefender> marjan: well ubuntu doesn't run a firewall or proxy
[07:09] <Gnea> greeg: using cups?
[07:09] <RabidWeezle> does shift+S work in console FAJALO1 ?
[07:09] <FAJALO1> but i don't think it has to do with the s key, and everything else
[07:09] <kounryusui> marjan: I think Feisty has no firewall enabled upon install
[07:09] <thedefender> marjan: it has a closed port policy instead
[07:09] <FAJALO1> which console rabidweezle?
[07:10] <RabidWeezle> like pressing ctrl+alt+f2
[07:10] <thedefender> marjan: but you don't need any ports open to go to that site
[07:10] <thedefender> sounds like your ISP is blocking U
[07:10] <thedefender> marjan
[07:10] <RabidWeezle> (ctrl+alt+f7 gets you back to X)
[07:10] <kounryusui> marjan: how about trying to access that site via proxy to see if it works?
[07:11] <RabidWeezle> probly should have told him that in the first line...
[07:11] <threefcata> how to mount a ntfs partition using command line? it said my partition is no cleanly shutdown.
[07:12] <towlie> --force
[07:12] <Slart> threefcata: there is a force switch you can use...don't know if it will kill your drive though
[07:12] <RabidWeezle> threefcata, I had the same problem, try booting your partition, see if it boots at all
[07:12] <towlie> it doesnt kill the drive
[07:12] <towlie> ive used it before
[07:12] <EdwardXp3> im trying to make a folder part of the root group, how do i ?
[07:12] <AlferedHichcok> kenboo,   not working.. wil this work ?   comm -2 -3 a.txt b.txt > c.txt
[07:12] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: 'ntpq -c peers'
[07:12] <towlie> is anyone using the firefox 3 bta in ubuntu
[07:12] <RabidWeezle> I just had the same issue today on my windows xp partition, turns out the thing wouldn't even boot into safe mode :/
[07:13] <threefcata> i wanna know what i should put after -t
[07:13] <individual_eleve> hello
[07:13] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24947
[07:13] <Slart> threefcata: ntfs-3g might work.. but it's in the man page.. man mount
[07:13] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: I've just recently done a ntpdate peer.ntp.org and I'm already drifted by 9 seconds...
[07:13] <greeg> Gnea: cups is listening yes.
[07:14]  * RabidWeezle just used a gparted livecd to wipe the partition and resize it down to 70 megs so it wouldn't mess up his grub setup
[07:14] <EdwardXp3> the directory is owned bysomeone else "edward"  and not root... how do i make it a root folder?
[07:14] <greeg> why doesent Dia print, just like all the other applications do.
[07:14] <individual_eleve> i have a laptop running xp with  40g hard disk..i only have 256 mb of ram,used to have 512,corrosion on memory slot caused me to remove the other set of ram
[07:15] <greeg> great, now im gonna have to walk all the way to the computer lab, download dia, and print there.
[07:15] <FAJALO2> ok well rabidweezle, i hit ctrl alt f2 and i went into tty2
[07:15] <individual_eleve> can i still dual boot ubuntu and xp
[07:15] <FAJALO2> so i had to reboot
[07:15] <Gnea> greeg: you'll have to call lpr like this: lpr -P <printername>  (whatever is defined in /etc/cups/printer.conf )
[07:15] <RabidWeezle> ctrl+alt+f7 brings you back from a tty FAJALO1
[07:15] <FAJALO2> thanks good to know,
[07:15] <FAJALO2> know that i do,
[07:15] <FAJALO2> ...
[07:15] <thedefender> marjan: yes, if you can find a proxy try that, then you will know its not ubuntu, its your ISP, maybe T-mobile is there competitor
[07:16] <RabidWeezle> check to see if you can shift+s in the tty
[07:16] <greeg> Gnea: thanx, but why couldnt linux do that for me, when i selected my printer ?
[07:16] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Your internal clock is hosed I'm afraid.. ntpd is working.. But if your clock drifts that quickly, my bet is that it's simply drifting faster than ntpd can slew the time....
[07:16] <Gnea> greeg: you can setup an alias in .bash_aliases like this:  alias lpr="lpr -P <printername>" and then just logout/login to X again, should fix it to do it automatically
[07:17] <FAJALO2> SSS
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> wee
[07:17] <FAJALO2> hmmm, rabidweezle, must have been a fluke
[07:17] <Gnea> greeg: because it's not perfect yet :)
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> yeah, it happens
[07:17] <FAJALO2> b/c it wasn't then i restarted and poof.
[07:17] <FAJALO2> thanks again
[07:17] <threefcata> and how do i know which device is which partition?
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> no problem
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> weirdest damn fulke I've ever seen lol
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> fluke*
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> i used the command chgrp  :: i and i got this,
[07:18]  * RabidWeezle sits around for another question
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> edward root     4096 2008-03-22 23:22 baseq3
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> quake 3 ehh?
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> ^_^
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> how can i make it root root on the folder ?
[07:19] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: the odd thing is that I didn't have this problem before reloading this machine. (was fedora, now ubuntu)  It wouldn't be a problem, but I use this box as a recording system for mythtv, and the time being off causes recordings to be started/stopped at the wrong time.
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> chown it?
[07:19] <EdwardXp3> RabidWeezle, im having problems with the sound :(
[07:19] <FourX4Luvn> EdwardXp3: 'sudo chown root:root baseq3'
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> ooh
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> that's that damn OSS crap
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, are you running esd?
[07:19] <greeg> Gnea: do you use Dia ?
[07:20] <EdwardXp3> whats that?
[07:20] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, goto System>Prefferences>sound
[07:20] <xp_prg> how can I change my color depth to 24bb?
[07:20] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Well.. I know it's a hack, and not the best solution, but a temporary work around would be to disable ntpd and create a cronjob to run, say every 5 minutes, to just run ntpdate
[07:20] <EdwardXp3> HDA NVidia alsa
[07:20] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, goto the second tab and unclick the esd button then try to run it again
[07:20] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: i'd be willing to have a cron job run every 10 minutes to manually do ntpdate to keep it synched, but I'm not sure how to force /etc/init.d/ntp not to run on reboot, and then how to make ntpdate run as a cron job that often...
[07:21] <RabidWeezle> it should be the 2nd checkmark EdwardXp3
[07:21] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: hehe... was typing that as your message popped up.
[07:21] <EdwardXp3> ok
[07:21] <RabidWeezle> if that doesn't work you need to play with OSS Emulation through alsa
[07:21] <Gnea> greeg: yes
[07:22] <EdwardXp3> doesnt' work
[07:22] <xp_prg> can anyone help me please?
[07:22] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: does the drift file indicate the amount of drift, or CAUSE an amount of drift?
[07:22] <greeg> Gnea: so printed a hard copy of my use case.  It takes up the whole Page.  How can i "shrink" my drawing yet have visable on screen ?
[07:22] <RabidWeezle> the problem is EdwardXp3 is it tries to directly access /dev/dsp...
[07:22] <RabidWeezle> it's the OLD way of doing audio in games...
[07:23] <Gnea> greeg: check the size of the page itself (make it fullscreen) and see where the lines are drawn
[07:23] <netham45> I have a corrupted Windows NTFS drive, is there a tool I can use from an Ubuntu LiveCD to restore it?
[07:23] <EdwardXp3> Rabbitbunny,  i know thats' in the config file
[07:23] <Gnea> netham45: ntfsfix
[07:23] <netham45> ntfsfix doesn't do anything
[07:23] <EdwardXp3> RabidWeezle,  what should i do?
[07:23] <netham45> is there something that goes deeper than ntfsfix?
[07:23] <RabidWeezle> all quake engine games have this problem, lemme look you up the fix I found on one site, that worked... hold on EdwardXp3
[07:23] <RabidWeezle> I'll pm it to you
[07:24] <EdwardXp3> ok
[07:24] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ntpd'  It can't start if it's not installed :)
[07:24] <greeg> Gnea: sorry im a Dia n00b.  are you talking about my diagram lines?
[07:25] <greeg> i set the (x,y) grid spacing to .254
[07:26] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: for some reason apt thinks that if I remove ntp it has to remove mythtv-database, mysql-server, mythtv-backend, mysql-server-5.0  so I can't do that...
[07:26] <greeg> and again in 7.254  (tried with both small and large scales).  no change
[07:26] <Gnea> greeg: the blue lines pretty much tell you size of the page
[07:26] <bullgard4> www.linux-magazine.com/issue/80/Linux_Magazine_DVD_Inlay.pdf: "The ubuntu taskbar will alert you when updates are available." Is the term 'Ubuntu taskbar' another name for 'Gnome panel'?
[07:27] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: As for your cron job.. '*/10 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate <server>' will run it every 10 minutes.  Add it to root's crontab though, since ntpdate needs root privileges
[07:28] <greeg> Gnea: yes, i took notice.  how can i expand the Blue lines.
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> i set up a simple NFS share, how come i can delete all files in it on the client but i can't edit a file on the client that was made on the server?
[07:28] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Darn.. ok.. what's your runlevel?  2?
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> make sense?
[07:29] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: isn't there a ubuntu sysconfig-service kind of thing to just tell it to not run?
[07:30] <Gnea> greeg: zoom in and shrink the icons
[07:31] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Yeah.. I've never used it.. Not sure if it controls services just for your login session, or system wide, but it's under system>administration>services.
[07:32] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Ok.. Yeah, I think that's what you want.. It's definately system wide
[07:33] <greeg> Gnea: ok i gotcha.  so the page lines are constant.  Im zoomed in, but how do i shrink my drawing ?
[07:35] <greeg> the use case icons wont shrink any furthar
[07:35] <greeg> when shrinking via the handles that is
[07:35] <Smegzor> When I created my ubuntu login, I elected to have my home directory viewable by others.  Now I've changed my mind, but I'd like shared folders in my home dir accessible.  Where do I change this?
[07:35] <netham45> I am in Ubuntu LiveCD trying to burn a new Windows CD to restore my installation, and the stupid CD writer program fails to see my blank CD. Anyone have any ideas?
[07:36] <jetscreamer> apt-get install k3b

[07:37] <chris062689> Is anyone having problems with Wubi?
[07:37] <chris062689> After I installed Wubi and went into Ubuntu, it went to a crawl, I couldn't even move my mouse for 2 minutes.  It's 10x worse than the Install CD..
[07:37] <kindofabuzz> netham45, yeah i have an idea, don't reinstall windows =)
[07:37] <Smegzor> well how would I hide the contents of my home dir?
[07:37] <chris062689> (My Computer does suck though.)  256 MB of RAM :(
[07:37] <chris062689> Smegzor: add a "." as a prefix.
[07:37] <kenboo> it's just about read permission for group or other

[07:39] <cory__> Whats going on guys
[07:39] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: pekwm rules!
[07:39] <netham45> kindofabuzz: because I need to burn a CD, and of course, the shitty OS that is Linux won't freaking let me burn a CD!
[07:39] <Smegzor> thanks guys
[07:39] <chris062689> I don't get why WINE breaks support for Counter Strike / Half Life games EVERY release!! :(
[07:39] <SpaceAviator> can anyone tell me whats at the top in this screenshot? http://hewphoria.com/themes/lyrae/Nova/nova.jpg
[07:39] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Never heard of it.. I'll check it out
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> well windows must have been shitty if you have to reinstall
[07:40] <chris062689> netham45: Don't troll.  If you don't like Linux, leave.
[07:40] <jetscreamer> use k3b
[07:40] <kenboo> I use growisofs to burn iso.
[07:40] <tgelter> I'm running a lenovo t61 with the nv140 integraded video. I want to use a higher resolution on my tty's but can't seem to do so, can anyone explain what I need to do?
[07:40] <kounryusui> levander: download the development tarball from the Songbird page  and extract it anywhere you please - that was all if I remember right
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> i set up a simple NFS share, how come i can delete all files in it on the client but i can't edit a file on the client that was made on the server?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> vga=0x318 in the kopts or default options in menu.lst , tgelter
[07:41] <kenboo> kindofabuzz:  does uid matches?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> or vga=someting
[07:41] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I've tried that, I end up with a black screen
[07:41] <DeadLy_sp> morning
[07:41] <jetscreamer> 0x318 is good for me
[07:41] <jetscreamer> try 317
[07:41] <kenboo> kindofabuzz:  not just by login name, the numeric uid must agree on both the server and client.
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> no, on server i'm 1001, on client i'm 1000, but how did i have permission to delete them?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> 0x317 ... bu
[07:42] <DeadLy_sp> hey, is possible change my current theme from bash?
[07:42] <greeg> Gnea: objects -> simple scaling did the trick, but newly droped figures aren't consistant. hmm
[07:42] <jetscreamer> tgelter: apt-get install hwinfo && hwinfo --framebuffer
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> i guess when a file is written to the export folder it's actually transfered to the client?
[07:42] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Yes
[07:43] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I ran that and got no output
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> so when i do a ls on the server i'm actually ls'n the client?
[07:43] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Well... No.. sorry.. it's written to the server, but the client has access to it immediately due to the nfs mount
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> but how come i don't have permission to edit a file?
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> form the client
[07:44] <jetscreamer> tgelter: you added sudo to the apt-get eh, and you 'might' have to turn off xorg... there's either a version of, or conditions met, that stop hwinfo from doing it's job
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> from
[07:44] <_coredump_> hi, my laptop display stays black when i close and open it, how can i configure it so the display works when i open the display?
[07:44] <kenboo> it's just basic permission problem. check by ls -n
[07:44] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: as kenboo said.. Your UIDs have to match.. not just the names
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> so there is a permission to let me delete it but not edit?
[07:44] <jetscreamer> tgelter: you might also need to do it in console.. not sure 'just works'(tm) for me
[07:44] <cory__> Anyone here play Counterstrike on ubuntu?
[07:45] <_coredump_> yeah cory__ i do play cs:s on ubuntu
[07:45] <kenboo> I
[07:45] <kindofabuzz> people still play cs? wow, i didn't think it was still around
[07:45] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: That would be very rare, but possible, yes... If you have write access but not read then you'd be able to delete it, but not open it
[07:45] <cory__> Do you use Wine?
[07:45] <_coredump_> cory__, of course
[07:46] <kindofabuzz> ok is there any downfalls to changing uid on the client?
[07:46] <cory__> Do you get decent framerates?
[07:46] <jetscreamer> tgelter: yeah it works for root in console, not user in xterm
[07:46] <SpaceAviator> can someone tell me whats on the top of the desktop in this screenshot? http://hewphoria.com/themes/lyrae/Nova/nova.jpg
[07:46] <jetscreamer> a nova?
[07:46] <kenboo> besides, I'd setup ldap (or nis...) so that such problem won't happen
[07:46] <FourX4Luvn> Nova is the theme ;-)
[07:46] <cory__> I get about 15-20 and i have an 8800GT, and my usb sound doesnt work
[07:46] <cory__> do you have any ideas?
[07:46] <theHive> cory__: is compiz enabled?
[07:46] <_coredump_> cory__, i have 10% less frames than with winxp...70-120fps with wine
[07:47] <cory__> I dont have compiz
[07:47] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Is it perhaps conky with an odd theme?
[07:47] <kindofabuzz> will changing uid mess up anything?
[07:47] <tgelter> jetscreamer: well, my ttys are broken right now...just black like I mentioned =)
[07:47] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: conky?!
[07:47] <cory__> This is really a fresh install
[07:47] <theHive> cor__ compiz comes default now
[07:47] <tgelter> can I use nvidiafb with ubuntu?
[07:47] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Yes, you're referring to the system stats bar, yes?
[07:47] <jetscreamer> no
[07:47] <cory__> Eh. How would i tell if Compiz was enabled?
[07:48] <jetscreamer> tgelter: that's more for like riva's
[07:48] <cory__> Im still new to ubuntu. this is my first day
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> hold your windowns key and hit 2 cory, did it zoom?
[07:48] <cory__> yea
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> compiz is on
[07:48] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I don't know how to get my tty resolution up then, cause I'm just ending up with the black screen
[07:48] <cory__> can i just kill the process? or do i have to disable it somewhere
[07:48] <theHive> cory__ run "metacity --replace" in the terminal to disable it, and "compiz --replace" to re-enable it
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> that's one of the many options
[07:48] <theHive> without the "s obviously
[07:49] <cory__> kk
[07:49] <jetscreamer> tgelter: try vga=774 maybe
[07:49] <jetscreamer> tgelter: or vga=ask
[07:49] <cory__> Ok,
[07:49] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, are you just getting a blank cursor?
[07:49] <cory__> any idea about the USB headset not working?
[07:49] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I'll try that, thanks!
[07:49] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: yeah, exactly
[07:50] <cory__> It works withing ubuntu but not CS
[07:50] <tgelter> kindofabozz: and it'll move if I type
[07:50] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: yes the bar on top
[07:50] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: The pointy-clicky way of doing that is under system>preferences>appearance visual affects tab
[07:50] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: http://conky.sourceforge.net/
[07:50] <CVD-PR> para los q les interese Unix Toolbox:  http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml
[07:50] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Not sure that's what it is, but it's all I can think of offhand
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, go to your services and make sure terminal multiplexor is on
[07:51] <lkthomas> hey guys
[07:51] <cory__> Thanks Four, i prefer Terminal though
[07:51] <lkthomas> any backup tools are you guys using ?
[07:51] <lkthomas> I am using bacula, but resotre is slow as hell
[07:51] <lkthomas> restore *
[07:51] <cory__> I wont get very far in ubuntu with pointy clicky
[07:52] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: I don't see it listed
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> partimage is good lkthomas
[07:52] <lkthomas> hmm
[07:52] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: http://maketecheasier.com/backing-up-data-in-ubuntu-using-sbackup/2007/12/08
[07:52] <lkthomas> partimage need to take the server offline
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> hmm, well that's how i fixed mine, it was offfor some reason, turned it back on and i had tty again
[07:52] <cory__> I have another question youg uys might know the answer to, when i run wine config the screen is way to large to see it all, can i drop the resolution on that window some how
[07:52] <xanderp> is there a setting to use hardware or software based clock?  wondering if that is what is different in my ubuntu install vs. my fedora install.  maybe I'm using a different clock?
[07:52] <lkthomas> I don't have gui on ubuntu
[07:52] <lkthomas> it is a server
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> yea, but good
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> hi
[07:53] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: Ahh.. rsync then?
[07:53] <xanderp> I wonder if my bios clock is accurate, but the 'os' cpu based clock is screwey
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> darkus@ubuntu:~$ nmap -O -P0 192.168.1.3
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> TCP/IP fingerprinting (for OS scan) requires root privileges.  Sorry, dude.
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> what shoud i do ?
[07:53] <the_alamo> can anyone suggest an app that organizes movies?
[07:53] <kindofabuzz> i use systemrescuecd 1.0, it has all kinds of goodies like partimage
[07:53] <FourX4Luvn> Dark_Shadow: use 'sudo'
[07:53] <Starnestommy> Dark_Shadow: run it with sudo
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> ok
[07:54] <Dark_Shadow> thkx bro
[07:54] <cory__> Anyone know of a way to get USB sound to work with wine?
[07:54] <lkthomas> what does rsync have anything to do with backup ?!
[07:55] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: do you know what the init script is called?
[07:55] <bashca> hi there
[07:55] <FourX4Luvn> umm
[07:55] <kindofabuzz> t, hang on
[07:55] <lkthomas> I think you don't understand what is "Backup" means ?
[07:55] <xjohnthomasx> hi.. can anyone help me?? my APPLICATIONS drop down menu won't show my programs. the PLACES and SYSTEM drop down menus work fine. i have tried everything, from new account logging in, to clearing all panel files, to clearing all gnome files, to reinstalling all gnome related apps, ... i am at a loss why this BIZARRE error is occurring!!!
[07:55] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: You're kidding right?
[07:56] <lkthomas> Four: did you ever do messive backup on production env ?
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, i think it's just screen
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> that's what is in ()
[07:57] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: what will that accomplish? (turning it on)
[07:57] <nikolam> Hi, I installed xubuntu and later I added GNOME environment. Now, when I switch user, Window manager (metacity) for that user does not start automatically. How to set window manager for a user and how to make it start automacically when GNOME is started?
[07:57] <DJ_HaMsTa> any one know of a program similar to cpanel but free for ubuntu or linux itself ?
[07:57] <kindofabuzz> thwhen i turned it on, my virtual terms worked again, i used to get blank screen
[07:58] <Starnestommy> DJ_HaMsTa: ebox?
[08:00] <tag> so I can't update, every time I try to run the update manager I get an error about one of the package configurations.  I've had 8 updates pending for the last several days.  Is this problem local to my machine?
[08:00] <nikolam> tag: what version of ubuntu do you use?
[08:01] <tag> gutsy
[08:01] <cory__> I still havent been able to find my windows partition
[08:01] <cory__> i think it got overwritten
[08:01] <tag> cory__: well you're a linux user now!
[08:01] <tag> :-D
[08:02] <jetscreamer> fdisk -l
[08:02] <jetscreamer> cory__:
[08:02] <nikolam> tag: what is the error message? (past via pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ if it is too long)
[08:02] <tag> dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `Debian-exim' in statoverride file
[08:02] <kindofabuzz> ok change my uid, how do i change group id? or do i need to?
[08:02] <matt____> Hello, been poking around with 8.04 and cannot get sound working with my emu10k1 card, previous releases have been problem free, but now can't seem to get this thing working at all. Is this a known issue?
[08:02] <nikolam> corry__: try df -h
[08:02] <tag> I tried removing exim naturally, no effect.
[08:03] <xjohnthomasx> hi, does anyone have ideas as to why my APPLICATIONS drop down menu won't show??????
[08:03] <jetscreamer> you could try installing alsa-tools and see if that helps
[08:03] <jetscreamer> or alsatools i forget
[08:03] <matt____> Ok, I'll give that a go
[08:03] <jetscreamer> - i think
[08:03] <nikolam> matt____, Questions for unstable and testing versions of Ubuntu on channel #ubuntu+1 , please
[08:04] <tag> nikolam: I take it this is my problem?
[08:04]  * tag rolls up his dpkg hacking sleeves
[08:04] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: any ideas about why my applications drop down menu won't drop down????
[08:05] <matt____> nikolam: thanks, (they should note that in the release notes, they just list #ubuntu)
[08:05] <kindofabuzz> try google?
[08:05] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: it just highlights, and nothing shows. then when i go to control center, and click main menu, it processes, and then nothing loads up.. ?
[08:06] <nikolam> tag, I had some problems with some package installs myself, when i was installing from sources outside repository.
[08:06] <tag> nikolam: No outside repositories here...well, other than oracle's, which has one package in it
[08:06] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, no idea. What environment do you use? gnome?
[08:06] <xjohnthomasx> gnome
[08:07] <tag> nikolam: it was an easy fix, I simply removed exim from the stat-overrides
[08:07] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: gnome. the problem has baffled many people. it's totally weird.
[08:07] <nikolam> tag, nice :)
[08:07] <tag> that "Debian-exim" looked like a typo anyway, a capitol letter in a group name?
[08:07] <tag> I think not
[08:07] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, what version of ubuntu do you have installed?
[08:07] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: 7.10
[08:07] <themime> i had ispconfig installed, realized i didn't really need it (i basically wanted to play around with it) and ran the uninstall; i wonder if it messed with it and didn't change it back. theres some vhost stuff left over from it, is there a process that i can go through to _actually_ uninstall it
[08:07] <tag> anyway, that was easy enough.  But it makes me think there is some kind of problem (or was some kind of problem, at some point) with the exim package.
[08:08] <tag> which I did install a few weeks ago, as a dependency to a local news server
[08:08] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, try to make a new user and log as that user. Look if something is different
[08:08] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: tried that. no difference.
[08:08] <tag> which I'm not using and can't remember the name of
[08:08] <tag> I typically don't run an MTA locally, it's kind of unnecessary
[08:09] <tag> besides exim sucks
[08:09] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, try ro reinstall gnome packages from synaptic
[08:09] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: completely reinstalled all gnome packages last night. no difference.
[08:09] <nikolam> tag, oh_
[08:09] <nikolam> I use xfce myself
[08:10] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: I did an experiment that was interesting:  I manually set time with ntpdate and set hwclock to the now accurate time.  I watch and my hwclock stays accurate to the ntpdate forced accurate time.  If I turn off the cron job, the system time drifts, but the hwclock remains accurate to pool.ntp.org time (as watched on another system)
[08:10] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, have you looked on ubuntu-forums.org ?
[08:10] <tag> gnome is pretty nice, really.  Too bad it's getting so bloated
[08:10] <ad_267> xjohnthomasx: try adding a "main menu" to your panel instead of a menu bar and see if that helps
[08:10] <penmissile> hey
[08:10] <penmissile> hello
[08:10] <tag> I'm totally looking forward to getting that extra 2gb stick I ordered in the mail
[08:10] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: what do you mean?
[08:11] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: do you know if there is a way to get ubuntu to use hwclock instead of cpu cycles to determine time?
[08:11] <penmissile> im super new to linux and ubuntu and im wondering about this firefox bug
[08:11] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: i couldn't find the problem described anywhere
[08:11] <ad_267> right click on the panel and select add to panel
[08:11] <ad_267> and then choose main menu
[08:11] <penmissile> is this normal? where it goes black?
[08:11] <ad_267> it's down the bottom by utilities
[08:11] <penmissile> is there a fix?
[08:12] <nikolam> penmissile, what bug?
[08:12] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: i did that, and it adds, and i click it, and the drop down there shows "places" and "system", but no "applications"..
[08:12] <penmissile> i dunno i'll click on a link and it traces to dark
[08:12] <penmissile> with firefox...
[08:13] <ad_267> there should be a list of applications like games, graphics etc directly under that menu, very weird
[08:13] <nikolam> penmissile, I am not shure i understand
[08:13] <ad_267> try right clicking on the menu and choose edit menu
[08:13] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: yes, i know.. what should i do?? :)
[08:13] <penmissile> hmmm, well basically it freezes and the browser turns black...
[08:14] <ad_267> make sure you have some applications ticked
[08:14] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Is this a Dell laptop by chance?
[08:15] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: i right click it, edit menu, it processes (spinning icon), and then it doesn't launch any applet in which to "tick" apps..
[08:15] <ad_267> xjhonthomasx: ok I'm a bit stumped then. If you've tried adding a new user and reinstalling gnome then I don't really know what else you can do
[08:15] <HFactor> can any one tell me how to make the 3GP sound working in ubuntu?
[08:15] <xanderp> nope... amd64 on a gigabyte mobo
[08:16] <HFactor> AMR audio to work??
[08:16] <theHive> xjohnthomasx: install alacarte (however you do that) i think
[08:16] <xjohnthomasx> theHive: what's alacarte?
[08:16] <theHive> the menu editor
[08:16] <penmissile> does anyone know why my other headphone jack won't work with ubuntu on a dell m1330?
[08:16] <Flannel> xjohnthomasx, theHive, alacarte is installed by default
[08:16] <theHive> wasn't for me
[08:16] <theHive> i had to install it with apt
[08:16] <Amaranth> theHive: Then you didn't install Ubuntu
[08:16] <xjohnthomasx> Flannel: it's already there. do you have any thoughts on my problem, though?
[08:16] <theHive> yes i did
[08:16] <theHive> im using it right now
[08:16] <Flannel> theHive: Dapper?
[08:17] <theHive> nope
[08:17] <theHive> 7.10
[08:17] <HFactor> AMR audio to work??
[08:17] <xjohnthomasx>  my APPLICATIONS drop down doesn't show!!   wtf???????
[08:17] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: the odd thing is that the system didn't have this problem on fedora.  I wonder if there's something else causing it. (something is causing the cpu to take too long to count time)
[08:17] <chalnhubby> we have a new HP7780 printer, my husband wants to be able to adjust whether it prints double or single side and whether portrait or landscape (direction) from his computer, easily. Can someone help me figure out how he can do this?
[08:17] <ad_267> do you have a file applications.menu in ~/.config/menus
[08:17] <nikolam> penmissile, look what version do you use, what ubuntu version do you use and you can also use alternate browers until you fix it, like iceape/seamonkey
[08:18] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: your menu is broken, thus alacarte fails to start because it cannot edit a broken menu
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> this problem is stumping everyone!!! who's the best in here? take a stab at this!
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: can you help?
[08:18] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: you need to go into ~/.config/menus and delete applications.menu
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> one sec.. i think i alrady tried this, but i will do it again..
[08:18] <Flannel> theHive: Unless you removed it, that's not possible.  ubuntu-desktop depends on alacarte, as such, it's installed by default
[08:18] <penmissile> im using 7.10 not sure what kernel, all my linux nerds friends tweaked my system...
[08:18] <CB1> i've got a strange problem with ubuntu 7.10 server... my computer has 2 nics, eth0 works fine, eth1 doesn't want to work despite trying dhcp & static ips, 3 different nics, and several cables
[08:18] <theHive> Flannel: ok then, but i remember having issues with it and finding out it wasn't installed, so i dunno what happened then
[08:19] <chalnhubby> penmissile, ouch
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: i deleted it. now what? reboot the whole machine?
[08:19] <ross`_> is there a repo that you can download music/movies from? or no
[08:19] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: no, now click on your Applications menu
[08:19] <Slart> ross`_: I doubt it...
[08:19] <penmissile> hahah yeah im pretty hopeless... although i really love this OS
[08:19] <nikolam> penmissile, try to uninstall firefox from synaptic. And then install it again, this time from repository
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: it workkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:19] <kenboo> CB1:  what's the prob?
[08:19] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, We are all happy for you :)
[08:19] <penmissile> is that in the addremove or the syanpic?
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: brilllliantttt!!!
[08:20] <HFactor> can any one tell me how to make the 3GP sound working in ubuntu?
[08:20] <chalnhubby> we have a new HP7780 printer, my husband has Kubuntu Gutsy, i have Feisty,  my husband wants to be able to adjust whether it prints double or single side and whether portrait or landscape (direction) from his computer, easily. Can someone help me figure out how he can do this?
[08:20] <penmissile> synaptic*
[08:20] <CB1> kenboo: eth1 in my box isn't working... if i comment out all eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file, reboot, i can't ping anything on eth1's subnet
[08:20]  * Amaranth puts "add a failsafe mode to alacarte to clean up broken menus" on his TODO list
[08:20] <ross`_> anyone reccomend any games?
[08:20] <xjohnthomasx> thank you everyone.. im glad it was so simple.. geeeezzzz... good night for now
[08:20] <ad_267> ross'__: vegastrike
[08:20] <CB1> it's a vanilla install, so no special ip tables or routes
[08:20] <Amaranth> ross`_: savage, tremulous, padman
[08:20] <kenboo> CB1 well what does ifconfig -a say?
[08:21] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Yes, that is odd.  I haven't heard of ubuntu having any problems maintaining time.. Only thing I can think is perhaps looking into adjtimex to keep track of your clock drift.
[08:21] <Slart> ross`_: check out www.happypenguin.org . Lots of games for linux there
[08:21] <ad_267> urban terror, wormux
[08:21] <ross`_> what is vegastrike
[08:21] <penmissile> ohh i c thanks nikolam
[08:21] <ross`_> and what is savage, and padman
[08:21] <ad_267> it's a space flight / trading game
[08:21] <ross`_> also im in to rpg games, so if you know any good ones :)
[08:21] <CB1> kenboo: when in dhcp... it says it doesn't have an ip, when i statically assign an ip, it show the ip, but regardless, i can't ping anything on that subnet or see out to the internet
[08:22] <leo_rockw> hello everyone
[08:22] <Flannel> xanderp: ntpd is a wonderful thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html
[08:22] <ad_267> you fly around in a space ship and shoot people and make money by trading or doing bounty missions and lots of other fun stuff!
[08:22] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:22] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: will check on that...thanks for the help
[08:22] <Flannel> xanderp: The other OS probably had it installed by default.  Computers never keep proper time on their own, since there's so much variation in conditions and such.
[08:22] <chalnhubby> hr1
[08:22] <xanderp> Flannel: was using ntpd, but it wasn't working.
[08:23] <FourX4Luvn> Flannel: He has it running.. system clock drifts wicked fast though
[08:23] <Amaranth> ross`_: savage is a RTS/RPG
[08:23] <Flannel> xanderp: was it actually working? or just the default install ntpdate cron job that never really works when you want it to?
[08:23] <ross`_> k
[08:24] <CB1> kenboo: ethtool eth1 says the link & speed is good
[08:24] <chalnhubby> Happy Easter, He is risen!
[08:24] <Amaranth> ross`_: one member of your team leads your forces in an RTS-like way and the rest (hopefully) follow his commands and level up and buy new weapons and such
[08:24] <ross`_> what's the package for it
[08:24] <Amaranth> ah, it's not packaged
[08:24] <ross`_> is there one?
[08:24] <ross`_> oh..
[08:24] <ross`_> damnit
[08:24] <ross`_> im kinda noob at installing stuff on my own is it as simple as ./configure && make && make install?>
[08:24] <ross`_> and how large is it
[08:24] <chalnhubby> does anyone know where HP hides printer commands besides the CUPS window?
[08:25] <Amaranth> ross`_: http://czarism.com/how-to-install-savage-on-ubuntu-debian-linux
[08:25] <kenboo> CB1:  did you ping the ip from the same machine? or from other host?
[08:25] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:25] <ross`_> at all
[08:26] <damo22> whats that
[08:26] <nickthorley> hi all - is it easy to turn off the mouse scroll wheel cycling between desktops - my laptop has a scroll strip on the touch pad and this feature is getting a pain
[08:26] <damo22> nickthorley: xubuntu?
[08:26] <CB1> kenboo: when i assign the static ip i can't ping out to the gateway or anything else, and i also can't ping the this machine from my laptop
[08:26] <AnthraxDream> So guys
[08:27] <AnthraxDream> Why isn't any of my music being recognized by the music player?
[08:27] <nickthorley> damo22: no standard ubuntu
[08:27] <kindofabuzz> i forgot who's iea it was for me to change my UID, but don't ever suggest that again to anyone! lol
[08:27] <ross`_> er, got any games that are max 90mb?
[08:27] <ross`_> i kinda have dial up
[08:27] <Amaranth> nickthorley: install compizconfig-settings-manager, go to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, untick the checkbox next to "Viewport Switcher"
[08:27] <Amaranth> ross`_: solitaire
[08:27] <kenboo> CB1:  pls try ping the ip that you assigned to eth1 from the same machine (pinging internaly)
[08:27] <ross`_> lol
[08:27] <ross`_> be serious
[08:27] <kindofabuzz> he is
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: yup, that works
[08:28] <ross`_> i have no issues downloading a 90mb thing as itll be done when i wake up
[08:28] <Amaranth> ross`_: Seriously though, I can't think of any that are less than 90MB that are worth playing
[08:28] <ross`_> mmm
[08:28] <AnthraxDream> So anyone have any idea why the ubuntu music player isn't playing my music?
[08:28] <kindofabuzz> not may games out there under 100M, check getdeb.net ross
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: when i do arp -a, it shows: ? (192.168.1.1) at <incomplete> on eth1
[08:28] <ross`_> does anyone know any free dial up isps if i want to change my hostname/ip address
[08:28] <kenboo> CB1:  ok, so the nic is fine, most likely. probably you are having routing issue
[08:28] <nickthorley> amaranth: thanks thats great
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: 192.168.1.1 is my firewall/gateway
[08:28] <DistroJockey> ross`_: maybe a MUD will suit. No graphics except ascii. materimagica.com is my favourite. Telnet connection.
[08:28] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: What kind of music file is this?
[08:28] <AnthraxDream> Mp3
[08:28] <kenboo> CB1:  netstat -rn ?
[08:29] <ross`_> er
[08:29] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: You're using Ubuntu 7.10?
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> Yes
[08:29] <ross`_> there are some very fun games under 90mb
[08:29] <Mitsiku> Can I just say that americans have no clue how to say ubuntu
[08:29] <ross`_> that arnt tiny
[08:29] <Slart> ross`_: or nethack.. that's way smaller than 90MB
[08:29] <kindofabuzz> probably crap, amaranth
[08:29] <ross`_> there are fun games that have decent graphics that are under 90mb
[08:29] <Slart> =)
[08:29] <penmissile> can i run games like fallout 2 under ubuntu?
[08:29] <ross`_> but more then 1mb
[08:29] <kindofabuzz> ooo--boon-too?
[08:29] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: Interesting, it should automatically offer to install the needed codec when you try to play it
[08:29] <FourX4Luvn> ooBOONtoo
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> Oh
[08:29] <evgeny> wassup suckers ?  =))
[08:29] <Slart> penmissile: I just tried running fallout using wine... didn't work for me at least
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> And the video players codec don't load
[08:29] <penmissile> hmmm
[08:30] <CB1> kenboo: the routes look fine... there's the 192.168.1.0 subnet 255.255.255.0 and then the default route with the gateway 192.168.1.1
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> my friend says ub--ooo-too
[08:30] <AnthraxDream> It asks if I want to install them and it just goes around in a circle saying it can't find them
[08:30] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: Ubuntu, right? Not Xubuntu or Kubuntu or UbuntuStudio or anything
[08:30] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: For the mp3s?
[08:30] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> slart, you got the newwst wine, they fixed aALOT of bugs
[08:30] <Mitsiku> thats correct but alot say  you-bun-chu
[08:30] <Mitsiku> im from south africa all
[08:30] <CB1> kenboo: i've disabled ipv6 and there is nothing in the ip tables (all set to accept)
[08:30] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: and then run 'apt-get update' after enabling them?
[08:30] <Mitsiku> .
[08:31] <Slart> kindofabuzz: updated from git yesterday.. still no luck
[08:31] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> What?
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> I'm lost
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> Yes I have ubuntu
[08:31] <kindofabuzz> i got WoW running perfectly on the new wine
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> No I haven't done what ad_267 said
[08:31] <Slart> ross`_: I think you can safely assume that noone does.. or they do not want to admit it
[08:31] <ad_267> download ubuntu-restricted-extras in synaptic package manager
[08:31] <ross`_> Slart: what's wrong with it
[08:31] <ross`_> :P
[08:31] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: enable the restricted, multiverse, universe repositories, then run 'sudo apt-get update'... Have you done that?
[08:31] <kenboo> CB1:  would you paste the output at pastebin?
[08:31] <penmissile> why do all these linuxfags hate ubuntu? everywhere i go they tell me how horrible it is - and say how better "debain" is...
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> No
[08:31] <Mitsiku> and the translation on the website is wrong
[08:32] <Mitsiku> ubuntu means
[08:32] <AnthraxDream> Four pm me and walk me through it. ^_^
[08:32] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: Do that then try to install the codecs again
[08:32] <Slart> ross`_: I don't know.. I haven't tried it myself.
[08:32] <Helix82> hi guys anyone know abt nokia wireless presenter
[08:32] <AnthraxDream> I have no idea where it is
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> penmissle, you will run into that with every distro, alot hate it because it's brought alot of newcomers to linux and they think they're elite
[08:32] <Mitsiku> i am wat i am because of everyone else existing
[08:32] <soho> how to connect to a wep-secured network without using the network-manager-applet? which commands i have to use in the console
[08:32] <Slart> penmissile: no need for name calling...everyone has an oppinion.. some scream it out loudly.. try to ignore them
[08:32] <CB1> kenboo: k, i need a minute
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> the debian users that is
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> pretty much the same thing, debian and ubuntu
[08:33] <Mitsiku> do you know what sucks
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> from what i've heard
[08:33] <penmissile> no no, i just ran a dualboot and they looked at me like i was retarded "OMG UBUNTU.. what do you think you're cool?"
[08:33] <Mitsiku> i ordered this 7.10 disc and a week later version 8 is annoucned
[08:34] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: Go system - administration - synaptic package manager and then settings - repositories and tick the boxes where it says universe , restricted and multiverse
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> 8 has not been announced
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> it's only beta
[08:34] <Mitsiku> is has
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> no
[08:34] <Mitsiku> it says 33 days
[08:34] <ad_267> Once you've done that click reload in synaptic
[08:34] <kounryusui> what a suprise, Mitsuku
[08:34] <Mitsiku> or 32 days now
[08:34] <Flannel> Mitsiku: 8.04 will be released at the end of April, that's correct.
[08:34] <ad_267> and then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> that doesn't mean you have to get 8, i think i'm gonna stick with gutsy awhile
[08:34] <soho> how to connect to a wep-secured network without using the network-manager-applet? which commands i have to use in the console
[08:34] <Slart> Mitsiku: it's not like the release schedule is a secret..
[08:34] <Mitsiku> thats wat i meant, i ordered 7.10 then they announce 33 days for 8
[08:34] <kenboo> dist-upgrade when it's out, if you really want to
[08:35] <Spiritual> my ubuntu 7.10 sometimes load the driver of creative soundcard
[08:35] <Spiritual> how can i solve it?
[08:35] <kindofabuzz> yeah i just got my gutsy cd's a few weeks ago, i mean i already had it installed thoough, got free stickers!
[08:35] <Mitsiku> btw Did you know ubuntu was created by a South African
[08:35] <ad_267> haha woo free stickers!
[08:35] <Slart> Spiritual: you want it to load the driver.. but all the time? or you don't want it to  load it at all?
[08:35] <Spiritual> Slart all the time
[08:36] <soho> Spiritual; you have to find out which driver is loaded and then you can blacklist it
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> mitsiku, you act like we don't ever read
[08:36] <Slart> Spiritual: run dmesg in a terminal.. see if it loads some other driver for the soundcard.. or if there is an error
[08:36] <Mitsiku> well you all think we ride elephants and live in mudhuts
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> who is we?
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> are you african?
[08:36] <Mitsiku> as in a majority of america and uk
[08:36] <FourX4Luvn> Mitsiku: That's just stupid.. Everyone knows they're grass huts ;-)
[08:36] <Spiritual> I will change de OS, take a few minutes
[08:37] <Flannel> !offtopic
[08:37] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:37] <Mitsiku> yes i am South African
[08:37] <Slart> Mitsiku: if you're in any way representive I now think you hang out on irc all day talking to yourselves about personal hangups.. ;)

[08:38] <Mitsiku> i always get that off-topic warning
[08:39] <AnthraxDream> ad_267: Tab at the top
[08:39] <bullgard4> www.linux-magazine.com/issue/80/Linux_Magazine_DVD_Inlay.pdf: "The ubuntu taskbar will alert you when updates are available." Is the term 'Ubuntu taskbar' another name for 'Gnome panel'?
[08:39] <kindofabuzz> yup
[08:39] <Slart> Mitsiku: there is an offtopic channel for those kinds of discussions.. this one is for support, afaik
[08:39] <Spiritual> shit, now is loading
[08:40] <Flannel> bullgard4: They mean the bit at the top.  top right near the clock is where it'll be.
[08:40] <Spiritual> why is it happens?
[08:40] <kindofabuzz> how come in gutsy they don't have updates turned on from fresh install?  if you're a new user you'd never know about it
[08:40] <Spiritual> why do it happens?*
[08:40] <bullgard4> Flannel: Ok.
[08:41] <AnthraxDream> Ad_267: I did the add repositories thing, but it still doesn't play music, nor does it download the codec for AVis
[08:41] <Slart> Spiritual: huh?
[08:41] <Spiritual> Slart, my sound is ok right now
[08:41] <Spiritual> but i didn't anything
[08:41] <ad_267> OK, sorry I can't see a tab at the top here. So did click on reload, then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:41] <Spiritual> only restart the system
[08:42] <AnthraxDream> No I didn't search
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> welcome to linux Spiritual =)
[08:42] <Spiritual> kindofabuzz, is this good or bad?
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> i have stuf break without doing anything
[08:42] <Spiritual> lol
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> both
[08:42] <ad_267> OK do a search for that then install it
[08:42] <Spiritual> it looks like bad
[08:42] <ad_267> it will give you a lot of useful things you don't get automatically because of legal reasons
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> naaa, it's fun
[08:42] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: https://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/multimedia.html
[08:43] <kindofabuzz> FourX, it was you that told me to change my UID!!
[08:43] <Spiritual> i've installed ubuntu because my sound in windows is very bad
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> Whoops
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> Sorry
[08:43] <Slart> Spiritual: so it doesn't happen every time you reboot.. I think it might be udev playing tricks with you.. do you have more than one sound card in the computer?
[08:43] <CB1> kenboo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60702/
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> I didn't apply the repository changes
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> <3 love you guys. ^_^
[08:43] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: I was one of them, yeah
[08:43] <kindofabuzz> don't ever advise that again! lol
[08:43] <Spiritual> Slart, no
[08:44] <Spiritual> its a creative soundcard

[08:44] <Slart> Spiritual: no on board sound card on the motherboard?
[08:44] <kindofabuzz> changed it back and all is good
[08:44] <Spiritual> Slart, no
[08:44] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: How did you change it?
[08:45] <[B00]> soundblaster 5.1 i have in my pc with hardy on it and it works fine :/
[08:45] <Spiritual> [B00], =/
[08:45] <kindofabuzz> usermod -u 1001 jason
[08:45] <Slart> Spiritual: hmm... well.. when you do get the problem again do the dmesg thing and search for errors
[08:45] <Spiritual> ubuntu has knew automatically
[08:45] <Spiritual> but...
[08:46] <[B00]> mind you i cant get some of the packages installed as it wont let me tick the box lol but then it is a beta so no prob
[08:46] <CB1> kenboo: i forgot to paste the output of the ping, but all it says when trying to ping the gateway is "Destination Host Unreachable"
[08:46] <kindofabuzz> you have no DNS then CB1
[08:46] <chni> hello, I get some strange things happening when I try to open Video files on my machine, the problems began when I installed AWN. I just can't open videofiles any more, I get this message in the terminal: VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

[08:46] <kindofabuzz> wait, you're on here
[08:46] <chni> is it a memory problem?
[08:46] <[B00]> i'm just happy i can finally get ubuntu onto that machine at last :)
[08:46] <Spiritual> [B00], ubuntu knew your soundcard automatically?
[08:46] <[B00]> yer
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> mine did, well i just turned intergrated back on
[08:47] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: You forgot the -U switch
[08:47] <CB1> kindofabuzz: i have a dns server: 192.168.1.100, but i'm not resolving any names... i'm simply pinging ips
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> domy actual soundcard don't work in linux at all
[08:47] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: http://docsrv.sco.com/UG_admin/uaT.chguid.html
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> but my intergrated does
[08:48] <[B00]> thats weird and its a soundblaster live?
[08:48] <CB1> where things get interesting is i can completely remove eth0 from the interfaces, reboot, and it still doesn't work
[08:48] <Spiritual> i like integrated 'card'
[08:48] <Spiritual> for the compatibility
[08:48] <Spiritual> but the quality isn't good
[08:48] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Pay special attention to the "changing ownership of files with obsolete uid" section :)
[08:48] <CB1> i've tried 4 different nics for eth1 (eth0 is onboard)
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> thanks 4X, that ones a little more detaled than what i read
[08:49] <Spiritual> network card is very complicated
[08:49] <kindofabuzz> especially wireless
[08:49] <Spiritual> yes
[08:49] <Eko_Hermiyanto> hi

[08:51] <themime> i installed apache, php5, and phpBB2, and i navigate to stuff.com/forums/index.php and the source appears (ie the php isn't executing).  what are some ways to go about fixing this? (i realize it could be a number of things but im not sure where to start)
[08:52] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: Paste your /etc/fstab to pastepin, then paste the URL in here
[08:52] <Eko_Hermiyanto> this is the line : /dev/sda1 /media/disk     ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[08:52] <kindofabuzz> you have to have write permissions to that mount

[08:57] <kindofabuzz> i gave up on amule and went back to limewire
[08:58] <usehli> i have a problem with SCREENLETS CLOCK time its clock time doesnt match with with systems local time
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> FourX4Luvn, done
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> limewire has a linux version
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> do I need to sudo mount -a again?
[08:58] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: You should now be able to write to that
[08:58] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: No
[08:58] <kenboo> CB1:  looks sane to me.
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> FourX4Luvn, not yet
[08:58] <usehli> !utc
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about utc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> I have not yet able to write into the /media/disk
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> :(
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> usehli, i think with screenlets clocks you have to set them yourselves
[08:59] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: what is the exact directory you're trying to write to?
[08:59] <Christoz> I have a serious problem...I can't play games

[09:00] <usehli> Eko_Hermiyanto, try sudo nautilus in terminal, this should get ur work done easily
[09:00] <CB1> kenboo: now i'm trying the the other onboard nic (marvell) as eth0 and a pci nic as eth1... maybe there's something whack with the nforce4 chipset?
[09:00] <ad_267> Christoz, try running the games from the command line and see what error messages you get
[09:00] <Christoz> Kindofabuzz http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christoz this is for wormux
[09:00] <Eko_Hermiyanto> usehli, that's right, but, I have to use nautilus with root permission all the time
[09:01] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: 'touch /media/disk/testfile' returns what?

[09:07] <kindofabuzz> make sure it's in use
[09:07] <ad_267> Yes good point I think you can
[09:07] <kindofabuzz> then get Envy and try reinstalling your drivers
[09:07] <Christoz> ad_267 i xan see motor wheels
[09:07] <ad_267> Ok so your video card should be working then

[09:09] <ad_267> Christoz: that page just says "No results found."
[09:09] <kindofabuzz> so it's just for wormux, you said all games
[09:09] <Christoz> ad_267 that was just a try to see if with sudo works no logical reason
[09:09] <Christoz> oops
[09:10] <kindofabuzz> works?
[09:10] <ad_267> ok, so you installed it through synaptic?
[09:10] <Christoz> ad_267 that page was for kindofabuzz

[09:11] <usehli> kindofabuzz, from here and download ubuntu version http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Download
[09:11] <Christoz> ad_267 that if you have noticed the config.log...

[09:12] <Christoz> ad_267 it says for a library "rotozoom" and says that can't find this one...but on the SDL_lib forler IT IS!!!
[09:13] <kindofabuzz> oh nvm, it's in the package
[09:13] <Christoz> ad_267 i've used the CPPFLAGS command to tell system where ti find it...
[09:13] <kindofabuzz> just right click the clock and go to properties
[09:14] <Christoz> ad_267 then i made the "./configure" and no errors had occured...ok let's "make " this thing work...
[09:14] <usehli> kindofabuzz, but problem is how do i set or change time zone in TIMEZONE:  option
[09:14] <ad_267> Christoz, If yo've done that then I really don't know what else could help
[09:14] <Christoz> ad_267 make was succesfull ...
[09:14] <kindofabuzz> type in your timezone?
[09:15] <Christoz> ad_267 what on earth happened to my system?
[09:15] <usehli> i did dint work.... like IST, it dint work
[09:15] <ad_267> OK, you're doing it now, make might take a while
[09:15] <Christoz> ad_267 i hate gutsy ...feisty was much more stable
[09:15] <ad_267> Christoz, why what's happening?
[09:15] <kindofabuzz> yeah i see what you're saying, CST doesn't work either
[09:16] <kindofabuzz> just set it your self then
[09:16] <usehli> kindofabuzz, ??
[09:16] <Christoz> ad_267 what?
[09:16] <kindofabuzz> don;t you see time-offset?
[09:16] <shasylap> if i currently have my disk partitioned as all mounted on /, is there an easyish way to make /home it's own partition ? i have a good chunk of free space left on the disk if that helps at all
[09:16] <ad_267> dw, thought something weird was happening because you said what's happening to my system
[09:16] <utarpradesh> hi i downloaded from vmware's site the VMWare WORKSTATION for ubuntu... it is a tar.gz file, but i don't know how to install it.. i extracted, then went in and clicked icons here and there... doesn't work
[09:16] <utarpradesh> i don't know how to install like this
[09:17] <usehli> kindofabuzz, but mintes dont change in it that way
[09:17] <Christoz> ad_267 oh srry i thought that you weren't "listen"
[09:17] <Christoz> ad_267 how cannot find something tha it's in front of system's "eyes"??
[09:17] <kindofabuzz> hmmm i dunno then, try another clock?
[09:17] <utarpradesh> how do i install a tar.gz file?
[09:17] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: temporarily mount your new partition under /mnt.. move /home to /mnt/home.. unmount /mnt and mount the new partition to /home
[09:18] <kindofabuzz> wait, my ninutes are right
[09:18] <usehli> kindofabuzz, can utc be problem here ?
[09:18] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Then add an entry to /etc/fstab so it mounts at boot
[09:18] <kindofabuzz> it's :18 after everywhere right?
[09:18] <ere4si> shasylap: this might help - http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[09:18] <[B00]> not necessarily
[09:18] <ad_267> Christoz, you have the dev library right?
[09:18] <shasylap> FourX4Luvn, and that will make it so all the files in /home reside on that partition, correct?
[09:18] <utarpradesh> should i download the tar.gz file? OR the rpm file for ubuntu???
[09:18] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Yes
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> rpm for ubuntu???
[09:19] <shasylap> i will take a look at that ere4si , thanks to you both
[09:19] <utarpradesh> so
[09:19] <Christoz> ad_267 yes that was the first thing i've done
[09:19] <ere4si> k
[09:19] <[B00]> india is :48 after as they are 7.5 hours in front ;)
[09:19] <Sprite> kubuntu can't handle wpa encryption, I was told it could and it says everywhere that it can, but it clearly can't can anyone explain why it wouldn't work for me I have gutsy pretty much a fresh install
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> rps is redhat
[09:19] <utarpradesh> tar.gz is correct?... okej how do i install it?
[09:19] <usehli> utarpradesh, download deb file not *.gz file from vmware
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> yeah usehi, the minutes are right, just manually set the hour
[09:19] <utarpradesh> there were only two choices: rpm and tar.gz
[09:19] <ad_267> Ok just checking, I really can't think what could be causing this
[09:20] <Christoz> ad_267 i just cannot find an answer...actually f@ck wormux the system is that is not responding correctly
[09:20] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Yes, be sure to read that URL ere4si gave you.  That one at least has you back up your home directory in case all goes wrong.. (Which I didn't include in what I told you)
[09:20] <usehli> kindofabuzz, no you dont get it, when I change time offset to 5.5, only HOURS change but theirs no change in minutes...
[09:20] <utarpradesh> how do i install VMware in ubuntu???
[09:20] <Cain_> HOW HOW HOW
[09:21] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[09:21] <shasylap> FourX4Luvn, ha, unfortunately i might not have room for that, but i have copies of all essential things at least
[09:21] <kindofabuzz> because the minutes is correct at all times, if it's 15 after the hour in china it's 15 minutes after in tennessee
[09:21] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Ok then :)
[09:21] <Cain_> utarpradesh: get vbox imo, way better (virtualbox)
[09:21] <ad_267> I've got wormux on Gutsy and it ran fine from the repositories, there must be something funny happening
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> mu minutes are changing
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> my
[09:22] <Christoz> ad_267 thanks for your time , thank you too kindofabuzz
[09:22] <eeaaxx> anybody knows what is the meaning of this problem "can't load DistUpgradeViewGtk" im using kubuntu 7.10?
[09:22] <utarpradesh> what happens if i use WINE to install the windows version of vmware in my ubuntu?
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> np
[09:22] <utarpradesh> and run an emulator within an emulator
[09:22] <usehli> utarpradesh, +1 better go for virtual box its faster than vmware
[09:22] <FourX4Luvn> Cain_: Not all virtual appliances work with VBox.  Just FYI
[09:22] <abhishek> can anyone say how to set booting option for linux,(my XP cant load from hard disk)
[09:22] <utarpradesh> is it more reliable?
[09:22] <Cain_> FourX4Luvn: i know :(
[09:22] <abhishek> pls tell
[09:23] <usehli> kindofabuzz, wat offset values did you assign ?
[09:23] <Sprite> fucking ubuntu can't even handle fucking wpa
[09:23] <abhishek> sure i can but i am new to linux
[09:23] <wirrwarr> heya
[09:23] <kindofabuzz> my off set is 6.5 because i'm in CST

[09:24] <alkis1> Hi, adduser <username> doesn't give the user the same permissions/groups as adding the user through the "User Settings" dialog. Any command equivalent to the "User Settings" dialog?
[09:24] <usehli> FourX4Luvn, lol... no :P
[09:24] <utarpradesh> i need to get 'packages' before installing vmware
[09:25] <kindofabuzz> and it's dead on with the system clock
[09:25] <FourX4Luvn> Darn.. I guess Sprite was right then.. Maybe it doesn't support WPA.  I thought I was connected
[09:25] <utarpradesh> yeah there's no wifi in ubuntu
[09:25] <FourX4Luvn> :D
[09:25] <samuel16> Hello everybody

[09:26] <Christoz> ad_267 is there a possibility that smth was damaged during the upgrade from feisty to gutsy?
[09:26] <utarpradesh> do you know about vmware workstation?
[09:26] <samuel16> I have a problem with Firestarter
[09:26] <samuel16> Every time I start Ubuntu
[09:26] <samuel16> It says stopping Firestarter firewall
[09:27] <samuel16> And now is my question how can I remove Firestarter to start at startup?
[09:27] <FourX4Luvn> samuel16: system>administration>services is firestarter listed?
[09:28] <samuel16> no
[09:28] <usehli> kindofabuzz, check UTC=no,,, in file sudo gedit /etc/default/rcS
[09:28] <usehli> kindofabuzz, in ur case is it yes or no ?
[09:29] <alkis1> Hi, adduser <username> doesn't give the user the same permissions/groups as adding the user through the gnome "User Settings" dialog. Any command equivalent to the "User Settings" dialog?
[09:29] <usehli> alkis1, adduser <username> admin
[09:29] <usehli> !useradd | alkis1
[09:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about useradd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <kindofabuzz> ok i figured it out usehli, for time zone you have to put your off set ftom GMT?UTC, like CST is -5 from GMT
[09:30] <funalien> +
[09:30] <kindofabuzz> i doubt they programes it to actaully read the sytem clock, but if you put in the right offset it will be correct
[09:30] <FourX4Luvn> samuel16: Actually, if you don't want it starting.. why not just remove it completely?
[09:31] <alkis1> usehli, sudo adduser test3 admin gives "user test3 doesn't exist"
[09:31] <MagoonD> how do I unrar a bunch of files which also include a .sfv file?
[09:32] <kindofabuzz> well i gotta run, later all
[09:32] <FourX4Luvn> MagoonD: 'unrar *.rar' ?
[09:32] <locomo> how to quick erase dvd+rw?
[09:32] <MagoonD> hmm let me try that
[09:33] <MagoonD> how do I find out how much memory my hard drive has left on it?
[09:34] <damo22> locomo:  sudo apt-get install gnomebaker && gnomebaker
[09:34] <FourX4Luvn> MagoonD: 'df -h'
[09:34] <DeadLy_sp> hey, is possible change my current theme from bash?
[09:34] <funalien> I've formated two partiotions on my HDD, fsck can't perform fs cheking.Here's /var/log/fsck/checkfsck.log http://pastebin.mozilla-russia.org/91069 can anyone help me please?
[09:34] <locomo> damo22: i'll try that, tried k3b and brasero already
[09:35] <damo22> gnomebaker rocks
[09:35] <utarpradesh> how do i run windows .bat files using wine?
[09:35] <locomo> mm maybe wine cmd.exe file.bat
[09:36] <sbingner> utarpradesh, you can also start a shell first then run them from there... I think it's "wineconsole"?
[09:36] <utarpradesh> oh, okay, thank  you :)
[09:37] <cge> Err, I'm not sure if my last question went through: does anyone know how to disable an internal keyboard, or even how one would go about disabling a keyboard short of disconnecting it at all?
[09:37] <utarpradesh> what is an internal keyboard?
[09:37] <cge> utarpradesh: in a laptop
[09:38] <Jon855> aha
[09:38] <utarpradesh> i see
[09:38] <cge> utarpradesh: Essentially, one that can't be disconnected
[09:38] <Jon855> well, you'll need to find the device number in the hardware profile
[09:38] <utarpradesh> aha :)
[09:38] <Jon855> and then I guess unmount that device?
[09:38] <utarpradesh> what is "host-only networking"?
[09:38] <utarpradesh> i'm installing vmware workstation
[09:38] <cge> Which causes problems when it's generating spurious keypresses every few seconds, making it difficult for me to even log in.
[09:39] <utarpradesh> one of the options is: "do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your virtual machines?"
[09:39] <utarpradesh> what does that mean?
[09:39] <locomo> damo22: where is erase dvd-rw option in gnomebaker? i can see only "format dvd-rw"
[09:39] <Jon855> it means only internal networking within the host.
[09:39] <Jon855> and no external
[09:39] <damo22> locomo: i dont know
[09:39] <utarpradesh> ah
[09:39] <Jon855> for the vm
[09:39] <utarpradesh> so my guest os can't connect to the internet?
[09:39] <locomo> damo22: LOL? why you adviced gnomebaker then?
[09:39] <Jon855> if i read that correct yes.
[09:40] <Jon855> but you could always try and see
[09:40] <utarpradesh> but i want my guest os to connect to internet
[09:40] <MagoonD> how can i mount an .iso file in ubuntu? I used to use deamon tools on windows
[09:40] <damo22> locomo: try format dvd
[09:40] <locomo> damo22: i dont need format
[09:40] <utarpradesh> i wanna install a virtual XP so i can play games in ubuntu
[09:40] <utarpradesh> wine is too complicated
[09:40] <Jon855> Why not dual boot?
[09:40] <utarpradesh> yes but
[09:40] <utarpradesh> it's a pain
[09:40] <Jon855> probably whole lot easier than mounting an ise
[09:40] <Jon855> iso
[09:40] <PiRANiA> MagoonD: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[09:40] <utarpradesh> because i always have to reinstall xp
[09:40] <damo22> utarpradesh: XP in VMWare doesnt have 3d accelleration
[09:40] <PiRANiA> MagoonD: good tuto
[09:40] <Jon855> and fake installation, and also the overhead'll be really high running vm
[09:41] <MagoonD> thanks PiRANiA
[09:41] <utarpradesh> then it messes up my mb
[09:41] <ashley> hi
[09:41] <Jon855> esp gaming
[09:41] <utarpradesh> mbr
[09:41] <FourX4Luvn> cge: I'm pretty sure the only option you'd have is to take the laptop apart and unplug the keyboard from the motherboard
[09:41] <utarpradesh> dammo222: :'(
[09:41] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: I don't think so
[09:41] <Isaac_> hi
[09:41] <damo22> utarpradesh: your best bet is dualboot for gaming
[09:41] <Jon855> I reckon he can tell the system to unmount the device
[09:41] <utarpradesh> :'( :'(
[09:41] <damo22> utarpradesh: and dont let the machine get on the net
[09:41] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Ok.. then what would the solution be?
[09:41] <conover> cge: if you plug a USB keyboard into your laptop, and reboot, it might recognize it, (its supposed to.)
[09:42] <damo22> utarpradesh: then you have clean system for gaming
[09:42] <Jon855> unmount it, he'll have to find the device number and what not
[09:42] <utarpradesh> okay, that is good advice
[09:42] <Jon855> from the hardware info
[09:42] <iDN> Hey everyone! I have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:42] <utarpradesh> my windows cd that came with my laptop isn't really the windows install
[09:42] <utarpradesh> it's more like a backup install
[09:42] <utarpradesh> what difference does that make?
[09:43] <utarpradesh> backup cd vs full install disc
[09:43] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Umm.. character devices are not mountable
[09:43] <n0NE> i've got aproblem
[09:43] <damo22> utarpradesh: no idea
[09:43] <n0NE> on ubuntu
[09:43] <Jon855> well, utarpradesh the difference is that it's a back up and when you run it, it'll return it to the clean state
[09:43] <n0NE> who can help me???
[09:43] <cge> conover: That's not the problem. The internal keyboard is essentially sending garbage; I'm using an external keyboard right now, but I need some way to stop the other keypresses.
[09:43] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: alright but there has to be an interface it's connected to right? if you were able to disable that then wouldn't that work in theory?
[09:44] <locomo> so, linux is that bad, it even cant erase dvd+rw?
[09:44] <MagoonD> it has to be easier than that to mount an iso image in ubuntu
[09:44] <ashley> who here is a girl and is a bisexual
[09:44] <utarpradesh> ashley
[09:44] <utarpradesh> psst...
[09:44] <MagoonD> lol ashley i think wrong room and server
[09:44] <CB1> kenboo: whoo! i got it!  thanks for your help! :)
[09:44] <iDN> ashley: This is not a chat channel. This is a GEEK CHANNEL!
[09:44] <utarpradesh> please stay on topic?
[09:44] <iDN> Hey everyone! I have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:45] <conover> cge: laptops are notoriously for broken hardware, but if you put a USB keyboard into any USB port, and reboot, then it is supposed to take priority, and disable the laptop's KB.
[09:45] <cge> conover: ah!
[09:45] <MagoonD> iDN, whatis enemy territory?
[09:45] <Isaac_> Probably a computer game.
[09:46] <cge> iDN: Enemy Territory is probably grabbing the keyboard in some way.
[09:46] <Jon855> conover: that never works for me, it always keeps both of them enable
[09:46] <iDN> MagoonD: A multilayer game.
[09:46] <FourX4Luvn> cge: 'dmesg | grep keyboard'
[09:46] <MagoonD> sounds interesting how are the graphics on it
[09:46] <cge> FourX4Luvn: good point
[09:46] <iDN> cge: It works fine on XP. :(
[09:46] <FourX4Luvn> cge: and paste the output pleaes
[09:46] <conover> cge: It is not defined if the laptop's KB is disabled, or, "and'ed" with the USB KB.
[09:46] <iDN> MagoonD: It's an old on I've been playing for god knows how long...
[09:46] <cge> FourX4Luvn: You want dmesg | grep -i keyboard, though
[09:47] <MagoonD> do they make deamon tools for linux?
[09:47] <iDN> MagoonD: I would say the graphics are nice, but nothing magnificent in particular. It was released in 2002/3 I think.
[09:47] <Jon855> magoond, check the website if you really want to know
[09:47] <FourX4Luvn> conover: I use my laptop in a KVM when I'm at work all the time, and both keyboards work
[09:47] <damo22> locomo:  dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/dvd
[09:47] <iDN> MagoonD: There is something similar.
[09:47] <dan_> i liek ubuntu 4 fun everyday
[09:47] <kenboo> CB1: congrats. what did you do?
[09:47] <utarpradesh> when i have dual boot xp/ubuntu to play video games... in the XP partition, is it better to have a virtual ubuntu intstall or a virtual XP?
[09:47] <iDN> "sudo aptitude install gmountiso", MagoonD
[09:47] <utarpradesh> using vmware
[09:48] <iDN> have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:48] <conover> FourX4Luvn: either way, disabling the HW KB, or accepting both, is in the spec.
[09:48] <FourX4Luvn> cge: I doubt you'll find anything with a capital "K" but ok.. if you want to run it that way :)
[09:48] <dns53> MagoonD you can mount an image with: mount imagename -o loop mountpoint
[09:48] <Jon855> wait if you're already in xp, why would you need a virtual xp?
[09:48] <Jon855> just dual boot it, it'll solve 99% of your problems
[09:48] <damo22> utarpradesh: with dual boot, you missing the poinet... the idea is you dont need virtual anything
[09:48] <utarpradesh> so i can access internet; i don't want to dirty my regular install
[09:48] <utarpradesh> but
[09:48] <utarpradesh> while i'm gaming
[09:48] <CB1> kenboo: i disabled both onboard nics, and did a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10 server and for some reason the d-link nic wouldn't get a dhcp IP
[09:48] <cge> FourX4Luvn: Everything about that keyboard was capitalized, for some odd reason :)
[09:48] <MagoonD> thanks i will try that
[09:48] <utarpradesh> i don't want to have to restart to access the net
[09:49] <iDN> dns53: Don't make life more complicated than they are. We LOVE GUIs. :)
[09:49] <Jon855> utarpradesh: just do a clean install of xp
[09:49] <cge> FourX4Luvn: However, it is usb, so I think I know the way to go about fixing it now
[09:49] <Jon855> you'll be fine either way
[09:49] <utarpradesh> but i want to keep my xp clean
[09:49] <utarpradesh> don't wanna expose it to the internet
[09:49] <Jon855> you don't have to reboot to use the internet too
[09:49] <CB1> kenboo: so i swapped cables as well as swapped the card to another pci slot... still no luck
[09:49] <FourX4Luvn> cge: Ok :)
[09:49] <Willlraja> hi all i would like some help with getting my usb modem to work, i've only installed ubuntu for the first time today so still really really new to this
[09:49] <Jon855> utarpradesh, use it wisely, install a/v etc, etc. and you'll be fine
[09:49] <iDN> utarpradesh: It's a shame that in order to keep an XP install clean, you must keep it of the grid. Crappy M$!
[09:49] <utarpradesh> yes
[09:49] <FourX4Luvn> Willlraja: What is the model of your modem?
[09:49] <damo22> utarpradesh: its a tradeoff, just use it for gaming not net, reboot for the net
[09:50] <CB1> kenboo: so i ripped the d-link out and put a linksys gigabit card in and it worked... so next i turned the nvidia onboard nic back on (leaving the onboard marvell off) and everything is gravy
[09:50] <desna> hi
[09:50] <Willlraja> Huawei E220
[09:50] <CB1> kenboo: i still need to disable ipv6
[09:50] <iDN> utarpradesh: I installed Vista recently. Boy, I've never seen a more sluggish OS. :D
[09:51] <CB1> kenboo: so, the weird part is i have 3 of those d-link gigabit cards and they work great in one of my boxes, but i guess the is something funky with those d-link cards and my asus motherboard
[09:51] <Asphalt_> I just added a new HD to my primarily linux box with Windows XP installed.  Anyone know how to make grub make that boot?

[09:52] <utarpradesh> can i have three partitions? ntfs and fat32 for windows and ubuntu to share, and ext3 for ubuntu?
[09:53] <utarpradesh> should i have that?
[09:53] <richard__> !suse
[09:53] <Jon855> yes
[09:53] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[09:53] <damo22> Asphalt_: add some lines to menu.lst in /boot/grub .... root (hd0,0) ; makeactive ; chainloader +1 ; boot
[09:53] <CB1> kenboo: yeah, i'm aware of that... that's why i've been doing a complete reinstall... takes about 6 minutes in my server so i don't mind waiting :)
[09:53] <kenboo> CB1: wow..
[09:53] <Jon855> utar, you should have not have fat32 unless it's not possible to avoid it, with xp, it's unlikely you can avoid it but you can use ntfs if I'm correct
[09:53] <kenboo> or simple you can delete the content of the file.
[09:54] <richard__> yeah, ntfs ftw (ubuntu reads it well too)
[09:54] <Willlraja> taking a look now, my main problem(i think) is that I can't get ubuntu to even recognise that I've plugged in the USB modem despite restarts, it doesn't even appear as a storage drive as seen on some of the guides i've followed
[09:54] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yes, he can use NTFS
[09:54] <kenboo> I'm not sure if other places keep configs somehow.
[09:54] <richard__> and writes...
[09:54] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: yeah I thought so, thanks.
[09:55] <conover> Is ubotu similar to the 'bot that was on #Linux several years ago?
[09:55] <dns53> simular

[09:56] <utarpradesh> is there a way to avoid taht?
[09:56] <Jon855> yes

[09:57] <dreamer_> 안녕하세요
[09:57] <utarpradesh> no
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i installed using my ipod
[09:57] <Jon855> you'll just have to let xp kill the mbr and then you can do a repair install of the grub
[09:57] <tiax> jkp: try dpkg -L packagename - only works when it's already installed, though
[09:57] <utarpradesh> USB install
[09:57] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Do you have any bootable linux CD?
[09:57] <Willlraja> I haven't but I will, i'm on a xp laptop at the moment and will have to unplug the modem from there and then plug in on ubuntu comp, so will dissappear for awhile...hopefully when I come back I will be asking for other help ;)
[09:57] <utarpradesh> no
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i can make it though

[09:57] <jkp> tiax: thanks
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i was hoping to wait until the heron release to reinstall
[09:58] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: Yes, but that's more of an hassle than the other way around
[09:58] <utarpradesh> FourX4luvn: how do i do taht?
[09:58] <utarpradesh> how do i do it?
[09:58] <jkp> tiax: that worked, ta
[09:58] <Jon855> you'll need to go into the msconfig
[09:58] <Willlraja> unplugging now
[09:58] <usrbinbash> ok
[09:58] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: As Jon855 said.. You really don't want to do that if you have any other choice

[09:59] <capgadget> It is not the install, it is the afterwards headache.
[09:59] <damo22> utarpradesh: download GRML and use it to boot off cd after you install XP so you can run grub-install /dev/hda

[10:00] <jubu> what apps do i need to convert movies to ipod format..plz HELP. thanks!

[10:00] <damo22> utarpradesh: so you can fix linux mbr after XP install
[10:00] <capgadget> mencoder perhaps.
[10:01] <FourX4Luvn> !patience | jubu
[10:01] <ubotu> jubu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:01] <capgadget> utarpradesh you install the earliest versions of windows first then linux.  Youmight also want to read up on grub-install.
[10:03] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Also, for that matter, depending on your needs.. since you're going to reinstall XP anyway.. consider just growing your linux partition to take over the windows one, then install XP in a virtual machine
[10:03] <Jon855> Ekk, Virtual Machine XP for gaming, I don't think so
[10:03] <Jon855> He should go dual boot.
[10:03] <damo22> exactly, you would need dual boot for 3d accelleration
[10:03] <utarpradesh> FourX4 i was hoping to do gaming
[10:03] <FourX4Luvn> True.. that's why I said 'depending on your needs'  If he's a gamer, no dice
[10:03] <utarpradesh> but someone told me that isn't a good idea
[10:03] <utarpradesh> :(
[10:04] <Jon855> My advice to him would be that he Reinstall XP in its own parition and then install linux afterwards and you shouldn't have any problem
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yup.. afraid so
[10:04] <utarpradesh> :'( all i want is starcraft ii
[10:04] <utarpradesh> will they make that for Ubuntu?
[10:04] <Jon855> no
[10:04] <Bishop> hi @all
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> Umm.. no
[10:04] <utarpradesh> sickening
[10:04] <utarpradesh> ...
[10:04] <Jon855> take it up to the devs
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> I didn't even know there was a starcraft II
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> When did that come out?
[10:04] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: it isn't out yet
[10:04] <damo22> they made strategus
[10:04] <utarpradesh> next year
[10:05] <FourX4Luvn> ahh
[10:05] <FourX4Luvn> that should be pretty cool
[10:05] <utarpradesh> are you using the 8.04 beta?
[10:05] <arke> anybody know how I could convince Xorg that I really do have a widescreen and that it doesn't have to bunch up the 1680x1050 resolution in the left two quarters of the screen?
[10:05] <Jon855> alright I've got a .run file how do I run it?
[10:05] <Jon855> In term?
[10:06] <damo22> jon855 is it a linux binary?
[10:06] <Jon855> yeah
[10:06] <Jon855> it's a game

[10:07] <vallhalla81> my pc keeps freezing up when i am using any web page with flash has any one any sugestions why this may be?
[10:08] <Dr_willis> We could say some nasty things about flash. :)
[10:08] <nickname_> Jon855: ask who give you the .run, what game is it ?
[10:08] <Jon855> it's Wolf:ET
[10:08] <conover> vallhalla81: got flash installed?
[10:08] <Sonderblade> in which file is the proxy settings for apt-get stored?
[10:09] <vallhalla81> conover: yes it just freezes up wile for example i am watching a youtube vid
[10:09] <nickname_> Jon855: Ack. Check this nice page on ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[10:09] <conover> vallhalla81: Sound work OK on your box?
[10:09] <utarpradesh> how large is the 8.04 install?
[10:09] <utarpradesh> i have 13 GB free space
[10:10] <vallhalla81> conover: yes works very nicly
[10:10] <conover> vallhalla81: Using firefox, right?
[10:10] <DirkGently> morning... before I pull all of my hair out - can anyone help me with a wlan config problem? I can connect okay using manual config in Network Settings but it won't connect after a reboot. I have to go back into Network Settings, set to Roaming then set to manual to get it to work... On the help page it says "Everything should now work. It should also work every time you turn on your computer without further configuration.", 
[10:10] <vallhalla81> conover: correct
[10:10] <delfick> hello. When I use my scanner, it stops half way through. on looking at dmesg, it has a bunch of "usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'scanadf' sets config #1" does anyone know how to stop my scanner being claimed?
[10:10] <arke> anybody know how I could convince Xorg that I really do have a widescreen and that it doesn't have to bunch up the 1680x1050 resolution in the left two quarters of the screen?
[10:10]  * arke is pulling his hair out over thsi
[10:11]  * delfick is pulling his hair over his problem too :(
[10:11]  * DirkGently looks at the hair covered floor
[10:11] <conover> vallhalla81: second menu from the left on the top of firefox, to the bottom, select preferences; disable java, enable java script, etc. for your flash.
[10:11]  * delfick 's hair is red :)
[10:11]  * arke is contributing brown
[10:11] <DirkGently> ditto
[10:12] <vallhalla81> conover: ok done that
[10:12] <utarpradesh> i have an AMD x64 cpu... what happens if i install the x86 version of Ubuntu on it???
[10:12] <utarpradesh> will my computer break?
[10:12] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: no
[10:12] <delfick> anywho, back to irritating errors, anyone know how to solve my scanner being stolen by other processes half way through scanning things?
[10:13] <DirkGently> it just won't use it's full capability
[10:13] <utarpradesh> dirk...
[10:13] <utarpradesh> i see
[10:13] <vallhalla81> conover: should that be all i need to do?
[10:13] <elkbuntu> utarpradesh, 64bit is backwards compatible
[10:13] <conover> vallhalla81: make sure that ~/.firefox/plugins is configured for flash; i.e., there should be a flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so that linke to where you installed flash.
[10:13] <utarpradesh> that's great!
[10:13] <DirkGently> i386 is good for compatibility
[10:13] <elkbuntu> in a way, anyway
[10:13] <utarpradesh> what is the 'full capability' though??
[10:14] <FourX4Luvn> given that Jon855 completely disappeared, I'm betting he got the .run file to work and is now trying out his trusty new M1
[10:14] <Jon855> nope
[10:14] <Jon855> :)
[10:14] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: it won't be as fast
[10:14] <Jon855> I'm just removing the older version file
[10:14] <FourX4Luvn> well why the heck not?  ;-)
[10:14] <Jon855> am now downloading the newer version
[10:15] <FourX4Luvn> Only thing I didn't like about that game was the lack of maps
[10:15] <utarpradesh> if i install a virtual ubuntu within XP thru vmware... will i be able to access my windows files from ubuntu in the same way i can now with my dual boot?
[10:15] <Jon855> I don't see why not
[10:16] <Jon855> you could as long you have the right username / pass and so on
[10:16] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: If you enable that feature, yes.  (not sure what vmware calls that)
[10:16] <arke> got an easier question though. Whenever I try to install the fglrx through adept, it asks me for the CD, athough it should ideally just get it online.
[10:16] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: you can access the windows files through samba client
[10:16] <arke> what's the solution to that?
[10:16] <Jon855> how can I confirm that I have 3d accel enabled?
[10:16] <utarpradesh> what is 3d accel?
[10:16] <utarpradesh> that's only for hardcore FPSs?
[10:16] <nonix4> utarpradesh: actually which is faster, 64-bit or 32-bit depends on the programs being ran
[10:17] <utarpradesh> nonix i see... hm...
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: run glxgears and see what kind of framerate you get
[10:17] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: it probably won't work under vmware
[10:17] <Jon855> in term?
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yes
[10:17] <sjovan> hey guys, I used mount --bind to get the content of one folder into another, but when i restart the computer it dissapears. Can i do something in fstab or something for this? symlinking doesn't work since i can't change the name of the folder
[10:17] <vallhalla81> conover: it just has flash player alternative.so
[10:17] <Jon855> I'm getting 1800 fps
[10:17] <Jon855> I guess it's on
[10:17] <Jon855> :D
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yup.. :)
[10:17] <nonix4> utarpradesh: and 64-bit advantages tend to materialize starting somewhere between 4-8 gigabytes of ram for most cases...
[10:18] <Jon855> alright thanks
[10:18] <utarpradesh> i see...
[10:18] <utarpradesh> my laptop only has 512 :'(((((
[10:18] <utarpradesh> gross
[10:18] <Jon855> nonix, beside that it also offers much greater precision
[10:18] <conover> vallhalla81: I have no idea-I have never seen that. Did you get flash 8.something from www.adobe.com?
[10:18] <Jon855> that's still dependent on programming languages itself
[10:19] <nonix4> Jon855: yup. But programs that take advantage of that are more rare than ones taking advantage of the ram :)
[10:19] <Jon855> That's true
[10:19]  * delfick goes and posts a bug in the bugtracker........
[10:19] <vallhalla81> conover:  i am using the flash firefox sugested when it said i had to install plugin
[10:19] <utarpradesh> can i VNC a windows computer using an ubuntu client?
[10:19] <Jon855> I don't think so
[10:19] <arke> utarpradesh: yes
[10:19] <Jon855> I may be wrong
[10:20] <arke> utarpradesh: I believe you can
[10:20] <utarpradesh> :)
[10:20] <conover> vallhalla81: did it come from Adobe?
[10:20] <arke> utarpradesh: do a search for VNC in the adept manager (or whatever the gnome equivalent is)
[10:20] <vallhalla81> conover: should i uninstall and find a difernt version?
[10:20] <utarpradesh> synaptic
[10:20] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yes.. Terminal Server Client.. found under programs>internet
[10:20] <Jon855> there should be flash 9 out
[10:20] <vallhalla81> conover:  yes its adobe
[10:20] <Jon855> that's what I'm using anyways
[10:21] <arke> man this poor computer needs some RAM >_<
[10:21] <arke> 128mb just isn't enough these days
[10:21] <Jon855> Ekk, 128?
[10:21] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: You want either rdp or rdpv5 for the protocol selection.  (Depends on whether the Windows is pre XP or not
[10:21] <conover> vallhalla81: maybe. There are several flash work-alikes on the Net, but all have some problems. The Adobe flash is the only thing I know of that will work on Utube, etc.
[10:22] <Jon855> I hope you aren't running a gui linux arke
[10:22] <arke> I am.
[10:22] <Jon855> -_- Xubuntu?
[10:22] <FourX4Luvn> xubuntu
[10:22] <arke> I was actuallty running this install on something faster, which was unfortunately broken
[10:22] <vallhalla81> conover: ah well thank you for trying
[10:22] <arke> Kubuntu, even :)
[10:22] <arke> (yes, I am a masochist)
[10:22] <Jon855> ... Alright
[10:22] <FourX4Luvn> I'd say
[10:22] <Jon855> Xcfe shall help ya in this case or hell bare it all
[10:22] <conover> vallhalla81: sorry I couldn't help more.
[10:23] <usrbinbash> 128~better stick to something minimal
[10:23] <FourX4Luvn> geez.. I'd suggest you look into ratpoison for a WM  lol
[10:23] <usrbinbash> fluxbox
[10:23] <Jon855> and run using xwindows when you need it
[10:23] <kane77> ubuntu checks disks each time I boot, how do I turn it off?
[10:23] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: Shut it down properly.  It should only check every 30 or so mounts
[10:23] <icesword> er,em
[10:23] <arke> FourX4Luvn: well, ideally I'll get the other motherboard to work, that one is completely dead though
[10:24] <arke> FourX4Luvn: this is somewhat of a temporary solution
[10:24] <icesword> i think he is using wubi
[10:24] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, I do shut it down properly
[10:24] <kane77> and yet it checks every time
[10:24] <utarpradesh> thanks Fourx4
[10:24] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yup :)
[10:24] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: What filesystem?
[10:25] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, it checks all.. (they are mostly ext3)
[10:25] <albech> i lost the link, but someone posted a good remote control software for my Nokia N95 to control my Ubuntu box.
[10:25] <utarpradesh> thanks everyone, goodnight! :D

[10:27] <conover> albech: gnokii maybe?
[10:28] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: 'sudo tune2fs -l <device>'  What do you get?
[10:28] <threefcata_> does any window manager do the same as what opacify in compiz does?
[10:30] <Oli``> odd question but is there an easy way to time how long a command takes?
[10:30] <arke> jesus, does Xorg completely ignore xorg.conf or what?
[10:30] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, will paste it
[10:30] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: sorry.. forgot the grep part
[10:30] <dns53> i think kwin and metacity in hardy may do it

[10:34] <arke> ok, all widescreen resolutions that I'm using work fine, EXCEPT the native resolution of my monitor (1680x1050). What that does is that the entire picture is bunched up in the left 2/3 of the screen. Other resolutions like 1440x900 etc. work correclty. Any idea what I can do?
[10:35] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Have you tried any resolutions even larger than 1680?
[10:35] <damo22> arke: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... add 1680x1050 to the list
[10:36] <FourX4Luvn> arke: I'm just wondering if perhaps your card and/or driver don't support that large a resolution
[10:36] <tux97> hello how do u remote to a host computer?
[10:36] <FourX4Luvn> tux97: You need to be a bit more specific.. There are MANY ways
[10:36] <balle> fourx4luvn: thx, how can i see my different partitions?
[10:37] <damo22> balle: gparted
[10:37] <arke> FourX4Luvn: no, because my monitor doesn't support them
[10:37] <arke> damo22: already there
[10:37] <balle> i got gparted!
[10:37] <nonix4> tux97: umm, whatever you're actually asking, the answer is ssh.
[10:37] <balle> thx
[10:37] <tux97> ok fourx4luvn when i enable remote desktop and i connect to it remotely using vncviewer it always crashes
[10:37] <FourX4Luvn> lol nonix4
[10:37] <conover> tux97: try 'ssh remote.somewhere.com' and see if you get a login.
[10:37] <eFfeM> hi, i have an odd problem, when I boot I get a message that the time of the superblock is in the future, it forces an fsck, then reboots, then finds the time in the superblock is in the future (endless loop). Any suggestion on how to fix this or what could cause this?
[10:37] <arke> FourX4Luvn: well, the card is a radeon 9200 .... should support it, especially since the nvidia geforce2 worked (but only once and after alot of tweaking as well, for osme reason)
[10:37] <FourX4Luvn> tux97: Remote desktop in Windows?
[10:37] <damo22> use ssh -X
[10:37] <tux97> in ubuntu
[10:37] <steven__>  
[10:38] <FourX4Luvn> OH yes.. I forgot that Ubuntu decided to call it the same exact thing.. Makes diagnosing just that much more fun
[10:38] <eFfeM> if I bot from a life cd, fsck tells me my disk is fine
[10:38] <eFfeM> even with -f
[10:38] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Ugh!  You replaced an nVidia card with an ATI when you're running Linux?!

[10:43] <LostOverThere> God Damn
[10:43] <DirkGently> FourX4Luvn: yes
[10:43] <LostOverThere> Takes 10 minutes to install Flash player...
[10:43] <moDumass> nonix4 could be, but its for no reason really
[10:43] <LostOverThere> Or I could just not bother upgrading to Firefox 3 Beta 4 and just use Firefox 2
[10:43] <moDumass> like if i wget someothing i get 400k a sec

[10:46] <LostOverThere> woo
[10:46] <balle> four: not by long shot...
[10:46] <nonix4> LostOverThere: prolly most of the people in #ubuntu+1?
[10:47] <FourX4Luvn> moDumass: No worries
[10:47] <titon> i run xubuntu
[10:47] <LostOverThere> heh
[10:47] <LostOverThere> I'd like to check out Ubuntu Beta 1 but I download at a craptacular 3kb/s so yeah
[10:47] <balle> Fourx4luvn: but it's not like it's REALLY important, but i'd like to keep it... like a couple o' hundred hours work
[10:48] <moDumass> nonix4 i have fast internet thats not the prob, the prob is that i dont have fast internet in any browsers
[10:48] <FourX4Luvn> balle: Do you have a windows CD you could boot from?
[10:48] <conover> moDumass: running through a proxy?
[10:48] <nonix4> moDumass: nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80 # quick test to reveal most evil isps
[10:49]  * arke tries to find monitor's sync ranges in the manual to enter them to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:49] <balle> Fourx4luvn: well, i might be able to dig one up yea, is that the easiest or what? and i don't think i have a partition to boot it from...
[10:49] <nonix4> (should show connection refused in like less than a second)
[10:49] <balle> if i boot from the windows, i'd just get the installer right?
[10:49] <moDumass> nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80 #  do i post the whole thing?
[10:49] <sjovan> balle: show me what comand you use when you try to mount
[10:49] <DirkGently> FourX4Luvn: thanks but that looks rather out of date
[10:49] <moDumass> or jsut up to 80
[10:49] <titon> anyone? way to make the distance between the icons on desktop smaler?
[10:49] <arke> FourX4Luvn: sorry for the delay
[10:50] <Starnestommy> moDumass: just to the 80
[10:50] <arke> FourX4Luvn: not sure, actually ... "ati" is the X name for it
[10:50] <balle> Sjovan: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 something like that
[10:50] <Dr_willis> titon,  may be a gconf editor setting. youmight want to ask in #gnome
[10:50] <moDumass> nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80  gets me connection refused
[10:50] <LostOverThere> titon: doesnt just dragging them closer to each other work?
[10:50] <nonix4> moDumass: as it should :)
[10:50] <sjovan> balle: i pritty shure that is wrong.
[10:50] <arke> FourX4Luvn: I went for the ATI because it's better than the nvidia (in a technical sense), but I had the problem with the nvidia as well (but it worked once, no idea how)
[10:50] <saladdin19> gotta weird error in evolution where any date that i choose for an appointment it keeps saying sunday...thoughts?
[10:50] <titon> no they got there looked places when i move them
[10:50] <FourX4Luvn> balle: I feel dirty mentioning all these Windows ideas.. but unfortunately the Linux support isn't QUITE there yet for NTFS... I would suggest booting from a windows CD, go to the recovery console, and run 'chkdsk /f'
[10:50] <nonix4> moDumass: so at least there isn't a dumb transparent proxy there
[10:51] <LostOverThere> Thats interesting
[10:51] <titon> Dr_willis thx i'll try
[10:51] <balle> sjovan: could you show me the right then perhaps?
[10:51] <moDumass> nonix4 any idea how to speed things up
[10:51] <moDumass> ?
[10:51] <FourX4Luvn> arke: The ATI drivers are not NEARLY as good as nVidia's are for Linux support though.. that's the problem...  ati is the closed driver... you want to run 'radeon'.. It has better support
[10:51] <nonix4> moDumass: well, depends on why it is slow...
[10:52] <balle> fourx4luvn:  haha, damn you wouldnt recommend doing a forcemount to try and get the data over?
[10:52] <conover> moDumass: traceroute remote.somewhere.com might tell you.
[10:52] <jin> hi, what is the command or utility used to list all video tracks and audio tracks on a dvd?
[10:52] <arke> FourX4Luvn: how's 3D stuff with the open driver?
[10:52] <sjovan> balle: I'm googling for it now :)
[10:52] <nonix4> moDumass: sometimes isps throttle http... or traffic with certain packet sizes
[10:52] <FourX4Luvn> balle: You run a risk of permanent data loss by forcemounting it.. that's the only reason I'm hesitant to tell you to do it
[10:53] <balle> fourx4luvn: and, what are the worst case of forcing it? loss of data?
[10:53] <nonix4> moDumass: packet size heuristics can be fed altered data to your advantage if you wish...
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Supposedly better than the closed driver.  I haven't run ATI in years, so I can't speak from experience, but that's what I've read
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> balle: Yes.
[10:53] <balle> fourx4luvn: well, thx for the heads up, i'll go to my think tank
[10:53] <LostOverThere> Good Luck
[10:53] <balle> sjovan: great thx man..
[10:53] <KR-data> what do I need to make sure my system continues to be fast an good? What kind of maintenance is needed? (I mean like you need to defrag in Windows)
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> balle: No prob.  Good luck
[10:53] <saladdin19> gotta weird error in evolution where any date that i choose for an appointment it keeps saying sunday...is there any update for this?
[10:53] <balle> thx
[10:53] <arke> FourX4Luvn: reason I ask is because I plan to run call of duty on wine at the LAN party next weekend :)
[10:54] <FourX4Luvn> DirkGently: It is old, but wpa_supplicant is still the way to do it at boot
[10:54] <arke> FourX4Luvn: anywya, I'll switch to the radeon driver in a few moments. I'm going to try finding the monitor refresh rates in the manual and giving them to X first.
[10:55] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Tis a good idea.  No guarantee what I said will work either.. Just that it has a slightly better chance of working
[10:56] <sjovan> balle: sorry mate. looks like you don't need to download a special pack and have some numbers behinde NTFS any more. It was that way in 7.04... Have you tryed to play with it in fstab? maby that can help

[11:02] <tvade> Hello all, please help Iam trying to create a small home internet network but nothing works
[11:02] <Dr_willis> tvade,  can the machines ping each other? or do you mean you need samba help?  or just totally lost?
[11:03] <tvade> yes they ping each otehr but no internet
 I already removed 1.1.10 from synaptic
 the problem is still
[11:03] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: remove the other one too.. then reinstall it
[11:03] <Dr_willis> balle,  well like the error messages imply. You 'should' take the hard drive and have a windows machie check it for errors.. or use the force option (which is unsafe , to force it to mount)
I want to remove 1.1.17 but I dont know how since I installed it manually and it is not in Synaptic??
[11:04] <tvade> Dr_willis main pc has two network cards: 1st for internet; 2nd goes to wifi router
[11:04] <arke> ghf: did you install from source?
[11:04] <FourX4Luvn> tvade: Are you trying to get one computer to connect to the internet by sharing the other's connection?  Or do you have a seperate router?
[11:04] <balle> Dr_willis well, its a partition on my harddrive, never been errors on it, oh what the hell, i'll force boot it out of this world
[11:04] <sjovan> balle: try sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and then mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
[11:05] <tvade> The first card has automatic connection; 2nd has static
[11:05] <Dr_willis> balle,  if you dont shut down windows properly or it crashes it does that flagging as bad.
[11:05] <sjovan> balle: but you should set this up in ftsab. makes things much easyer after a re-boot
[11:05] <sjovan> balle: sudo mount *
[11:05] <FourX4Luvn> tvade: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[11:05] <balle> sjovan: what is ftsab?
[11:06] <ghf> yes I had the source from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/91500
[11:06] <moDumass>  my tracerout www.newto.org http://www.pastebin.org/24958
 yes I had the source from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/91500
[11:06] <balle> Dr_willis: there have never been windows on there...
 how can I remove it now??
[11:06] <arke> ghf: do you still have the source folder you used/
[11:06] <moDumass> nonix4 http://www.pastebin.org/24958
yes sure
[11:07] <tvade> main machine is windows; ashamed but can't do other
[11:07] <fabouney> Hi !
[11:07] <fabouney> Where is it best to install the software (not packages) in /usr/ ocal? or in personnal directory ?
[11:07] <Dr_willis> balle,  is it a ntfs filesystem? If so . its been flagged as bad.. either let windows  fix it.. or try the variouyt linux ntfs fs fixing tools.. or use the force option. and risk data loss.
[11:07] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: go into the source folder and try 'make uninstall' or 'make deinstall'
[11:07] <sjovan> balle: nano /etc/fstab <--- it's where you set up the info for the different mounts, so you don't have to remount everytime you turn off the computer
ok
[11:08] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: Sorry.. prefix those with 'sudo'
 this is my tracerout www.newto.org http://www.pastebin.org/24958

[11:09] <sjovan> balle: did the 3g pack work?
[11:09] <foldart> fabouney: your directory if it's for alone,  /usr/local if it's to be used by others on your pc
[11:10] <sjovan> balle: you there?
[11:11] <foldart> fabouney: *for you alone*
[11:11] <fabouney> foldart, People tell me to install it in / opt, is this really?
[11:11] <FourX4Luvn> sjovan: balle tends to run off for a while at a times I've noticed.. heh
[11:12]  * arke runs off now for a bit
[11:12]  * arke will then try his luck with the radeon driver
ok  I removed it and then reinstalled 1.1.10 from synaptic
[11:12] <foldart> fabouney: /opt is really for downloaded software that's not in your package manager
but now when I do xine-check I get : no plugin directory (/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10)
[11:13] <sjovan> FourX4Luv: ah, well then he is on his own from now then :)
[11:13] <fabouney> foldart, yes the software that i want install isn't come from package, i downloaded it
and that is true I didnt find /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10

[11:28] <NinaOdel1> I'm totally new to LINUX - I know what you're talking about sorta howefield, but I'm told that apt is not recommended for this upgrade...

[11:28] <archman> ttt--: all rars and rXX's in the same folder
[11:28] <KalEl> foldart, the power management is set at put display at sleep if inactive for 11 minutes
[11:29] <sjovan> NinaOdel1: does system --->  administration ---> update manager work?
[11:29] <KalEl> but still it only shows the screensaver
[11:29] <howefield> NinaOdell : my preferred way is clean install, everytime, so you could download 6.10 and clean install ?
[11:29] <bibek> hi, my network interface changes on every reboot
[11:29] <bibek> on one time its eth0 another reboot its eth1

[11:33] <rahmen> gregory: ok.. so what should I do then?
[11:33] <foldart> KalEl: /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout  (in gconf-editor) perhaps?
[11:33] <gregory> rahmen: dont know sorry
[11:33] <rahmen> gregory: ok.. thnx anyway
[11:35] <NinaOdel1> svovan, I'm sorry - I didn't see - let me look
[11:36] <NinaOdel1> no sjovan, it doesn't find an upgrade when I put in the command prompt from terminal in the community documentation
[11:36] <MaiK_> ??
[11:37] <NinaOdel1> er, just the command I mean
[11:38] <KalEl> foldart, nah those two seem to be connected - time in /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout = time in gpm - 600 seconds
[11:38] <KalEl> is there any way i can ask gpm to force monitor sleep, just to check if it can do it at all?

[11:40] <MinusSeven> I have the allows set, but in the  .oidentd.conf  file, what do I put for the reply ?
[11:40] <amortvigil> hey what can i do to stop compiz from kicking itself out onece in half a hour?
[11:41] <g0th> sjovan: that didn't help
[11:41] <g0th> sjovan: I can't even use the "tab" key to find the file name
[11:41] <sjovan>  NinaOdel1: hmmm... i'm not talking about any commands...
[11:42] <nikro> amortvigil, turn it off i.e.
[11:42] <Starnestommy> MinusSeven: try an idented lint with just "random" on it
[11:42] <MinusSeven> I'll try that, thanks
[11:42] <g0th> sjovan: hmm it works as a user strange as root not, but anyway if I try to rename the directory it says: "mv: cannot stat `$$$ AAA H_rspiele $$$/': No such file or directory"
[11:42] <sjovan> g0th: show me how you tryed to do it. pastebin.com it :)
[11:42] <amortvigil> nikro but i want to have compiz and it worked fine before
[11:42] <MinusSeven> won't it just say "random" ?
[11:42] <foldart> KalEl: i don't know sorry
[11:43] <g0th> mv \$\$\$\ AAA\ H_rspiele\ \$\$\$/ t
[11:43] <g0th> where the filename came from tab completion
[11:43] <g0th> but I also tried stuff like "mv *piele* test"
[11:43] <jin> is there a utility to compress a folder into several files of x MB?
[11:44] <nikro> amortvigil, my experience is that compiz in gutsy isn't as stable as it should be...
[11:44] <Starnestommy> MinusSeven: try this: http://pastebin.com/m7ec0ddb0 it should send a random rreply
[11:44] <sjovan> g0th: pleas pastebin the wholde things so i can se the dir.tree and stuff. that din't help me at all
[11:44] <Starnestommy> *reply
[11:44] <g0th> hmm all right but nothing new there
[11:44] <KalEl> foldart, it's alright, thank you
[11:44] <MinusSeven> ok
[11:44] <rahmen> glxinfo says: "direct rendering: No" and "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect". lspci says "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]". Can someone help me? The guides I've followed has not worked.

[11:46] <g0th> sant: use mplayer
[11:46] <amortvigil> is there a progeam in ubuntu to cange the avi resolution?
[11:46] <g0th> amortvigil: what do you mean?
[11:47] <g0th> amortvigil: to crop or to scale a movie? Only view scaled/cropped or really change it?
[11:47] <amortvigil> g0th: a utility that can scange the resolution ( scale) so it is viewable on my mp3 player
[11:48] <g0th> ok, so you want to reencode the movie
[11:48] <g0th> there are a lot of encoding tools
[11:48] <g0th> what kind of mp3 player do you have?
[11:48] <g0th> ipod?
[11:48] <ere4si> amortvigil: avidemux is a good gui app for that
[11:49] <g0th> for ipod there is a special conversion tool that is probably best to use
[11:49] <sjovan> g0th: try --->  mv $<tab> then push A and tab onther time
[11:49] <amortvigil> thanx ere4si , no g0th its creative
[11:49] <sjovan> the \$ part is wrong
[11:49] <g0th> the problem is: those mp3 players do not only expect certain resolution, they also expect several other things, so you need to be _very_ specific when you encode to view it on your player
[11:49] <balle> sry for running off like that to the people who have helped me, i'm in the process of moving, i was wondering, can't i just re-flag the partition that has been flagged as "possibly bad"

[11:54] <g0th> apt-get install evolution should work probably
[11:54] <ere4si> g0th: in nautilus you can right click the foders - select properties then the permissions tab - who owns the folders?
[11:54] <KalEl> when i do 'lshal | grep can_suspend' i see that it is set to false; it is not due to gpm, as 'gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager' shows can_suspend is set to true
[11:54] <x__> thanks :-)
[11:54] <g0th> ere4si: if I click on the folder in nautilus it disappears
[11:54] <balle> is the code for mounting a ntfs system: sudo mount -t ntfs and then dir?
[11:54] <KalEl> is there any other reason HAL won't support suspend?
[11:54] <openguru> please :(
[11:54] <g0th> it is owned by root
[11:54] <g0th> root.root
[11:54] <g0th> drwxr-xr-x
[11:54] <ere4si> g0th: and the group?
[11:54] <ere4si> k
[11:55] <g0th> it is not a permission problem
[11:55] <g0th> it has something to do with the strange characters
[11:55] <g0th> that's the reason I want to rename it to get rid of them
[11:55] <g0th> is there another tool to rename directories besides mv and nautilus?
[11:56] <g0th> and mc which also fails
[11:56] <Frogzoo> KalEl: you've the right settings in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[11:56] <g0th> btw I can cd into the directory
[11:56] <Frogzoo> g0th: use a * to match the wierd characters
[11:57] <ere4si> g0th: have you put the filename in quotes when using mv?
[11:57] <g0th> I tried that already
[11:57] <g0th> I tried all that
[11:57] <g0th> nothing works
[11:57] <g0th> when I do ls inside the directory I get:
[11:57] <Sigmund`Fraud> Can anyone experienced with wine-doors head over to #wine-doors, the channel is empty and I've got a problem.
[11:57] <g0th> LSD|Ninja: .: No such file or directory
[11:58] <g0th> "ls.: No such file or directory"
[11:58] <g0th> sry
[11:58] <g0th> "ls: .: No such file or directory"
[11:58] <Hazem> how i can allocate size from ram to service running on ubuntu
[11:59] <ere4si> g0th: can you paste the file name as it appears?
 sjovan: http://rafb.net/p/Xc9w2K13.html
[11:59] <gregory> Hazem: what do you mean with "service"?
[11:59] <Frogzoo> Hazem: that would be app specific, if it's possible at all
[12:00] <Hazem> Frogzoo, yes .. for example oracle database service
[12:00] <KalEl> Frogzoo, seems ok
[12:00] <gregory> Hazem: oracle should have a config of how much ram it is allowed to use
[12:00] <void^> g0th: scrolling up revealed you are talking about a file on fat32. mount with codepage=850 or similar.
[12:00] <Frogzoo> Hazem: with oracle you need to bump up shared memory etc. google for a usable /etc/security/limits.conf
[12:01] <g0th> how do I do that?
[12:01] <g0th> codepage=850 simply?
[12:01] <g0th> in fstab?
[12:01] <void^> unmount, mount -o codepage=850, see if it helps.
[12:01] <chi11y> hmm, I'm dualbooting ubuntu gutsy and windows xp, is it possible to use qemu to start the windows partition inside ubuntu, and if, how?
[12:01] <void^> i'm not actually sure about the codepage option, but i'm pretty sure it is _some_ charset related mount option.
[12:02] <gregory> Frogzoo: cool, is /etc/security/limits.conf part of Selinux?
[12:02] <g0th> it still fails
[12:02] <Frogzoo> gregory: dunno, certainly not the right chan to ask
[12:03] <void^> might also be iocharset. fat32 is simply a pain.
[12:03] <g0th> iocharcset what?
[12:03] <g0th> it still fails
[12:03] <g0th> hmm we eat I'll bbl
[12:04] <Gringo_> how do i change the keymap in the console? (outside of X)
[12:05] <chi11y> hmm, I'm dualbooting ubuntu gutsy and windows xp, is it possible to use qemu to start the windows partition inside ubuntu, and if, how?

[12:14] <Pulpie> joining here always takes an hour
[12:14] <MenZa> Doesn't for me.
[12:15] <Pulpie> MenZa: it was an overstatement...
[12:15] <Waistless> takes me 5 seconds using chatzilla
[12:16] <Pulpie> omg
[12:16] <Pulpie> it takes 3 using irssi
[12:16] <Pulpie> but i was joking cause I sync most channels in less then a second
[12:16] <Willlraja> FourX4luvn - you were helping me earlier install my usb modem - made progress need just a little more help
[12:17] <gorthaug> anybody can help me with my sound problem?
[12:17] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. Trying to find a simple hardware RAID monitoring tool - something that sits in the 'taskbar' with a green light when all is OK, amber when something wrong and red when something seriously wrong, or something similar. Does anyone know of such a utility?
[12:18] <damo22> gorthaug: alsamixer is tricky, you have to hit 'm' to mute/unmute
[12:18] <kjellviz> how do i change owner of a folder and all subfolders/files using commandline ?  i tried sudoing nautilus to set ownership and rights but it crashes every time (running hardy beta)
[12:18] <smacky> you know i was shock to find that ubuntu runs like a dream on my quad amd  with four gigs of ram I must say that the ubuntu team really did a hell of a job
[12:18] <MenZa> kjellviz: chown -R <user>:<group> <target>
[12:18] <gorthaug> damo22: the Line-in is unmute
[12:18] <kjellviz> MenZa: is group needed ?
[12:19] <damo22> gorthaug: ok sorry i dont know
[12:19] <MenZa> kjellviz: nope
[12:19] <gorthaug> damo22: when i unmute the Line-in i only hear noise
[12:19] <MenZa> kjellviz: you could chown it to that person's group. e.g. kjellviz:kjellviz
[12:19] <Gizmo_The_Great> kjellviz, I'm sure if you just go 'chown -R ted folder' that will work
[12:19] <foldart> smacky: that's probably what all the devs have got - so not so much of a shock really :)
[12:19] <Willlraja> i'm also trying to change the owner to allow a vodafone mobile connect application to access to /vmc/etc/ppp but it won't let me change the owner of the root directory
[12:20] <Harry_CooL> hai
[12:20] <kjellviz> ok thanks, i did the group too, hope it works =)
[12:20] <Gizmo_The_Great> kjellviz, I'm sure if you just go 'chown -R kjellviz folder' rather
[12:21] <stiffler> backports repository is supported by ubuntu ?
[12:21] <smacky> i know i was just saying sry
[12:22] <foldart> stiffler: ubuntu-backports is community supported but not Canonical supported
[12:22] <can> hello - how do I install the advanced desktop effects setup
[12:22] <foldart> smacky: ah ok, then I am too :)
[12:22] <can> well, i forgot its name
[12:22] <bazhang> can install ccsm
[12:22] <stiffler> foldart, is it safe to use?
[12:23] <can> bazhang what is ccsm
[12:23] <can> it wont show up
[12:23] <bazhang> !ccsm
[12:23] <ubotu> To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[12:23] <can> thanks
[12:24] <foldart> stiffler: yes, if you just install what you want from it, then disable the repository.  Don't have it enabled when updating the system.
[12:24] <can> bazhang: another question: desktop effects will run on single screen setup but it wont run on dual screen setup
[12:24] <stiffler> foldart, so.... I shouldn't update everything from backports?
[12:25] <balle> i have some major problem, i installed the non flash viewer to view flash, dunno what it\s called, but everytime i try to watch a video on youtube fx. my system freezes up, and i can\t do anything about it, and aperantly my keyboard has switched from danish to american, any thought_
[12:25] <zainerkin_> what is the shortcut key to swap over to your second desktop in Ubuntu please
[12:25] <foldart> stiffler: no, just use it to install a particular backported package that you want, then disable
[12:25] <zainerkin_> what is the shortcut key to swap over to your second desktop in Ubuntu please
[12:26] <balle> zainerkin ctrl plus alt and right&left arrow
[12:26] <foldart> zainerkin_: ctrl-alt-rightarrow
[12:26] <zainerkin_> thankyou
[12:26] <bazhang> can the twinhead or the xinerama? you can /msg ubotu xinerama (or twinhead) for instructions links for that
[12:26] <stiffler> foldart, ok thanks for info ;)
[12:26] <balle> i have some major problem, i installed the non flash viewer to view flash, dunno what it\s called, but everytime i try to watch a video on youtube fx. my system freezes up, and i can\t do anything about it, and aperantly my keyboard has switched from danish to american, any thought_
[12:26] <foldart> stiffler: yw :)
[12:26] <GullyFoyle> that must be the Gnome keyboard shortcut
[12:27] <foldart> GullyFoyle: yes
[12:27]  * foldart assumes Gnome in #ubuntu
[12:27] <GullyFoyle> cuz I use flux
[12:27] <gregory> balle: what did you install? adobe flash player or gnash?
[12:27] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, if I were you I'd go to the Flash website and donwload and install the RPM or deb package from them. I did and my flash works OK, but I did have problems using the one via Synaptic.
[12:28] <balle> gregory> the gnash one
[12:28] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, yes, it was when I install gnash that I had problems. Get the 'proper' Adobe Flash for Linux from their website
[12:29] <foldart> flashplugin-nonfree usually works ok.  I haven't tried gnash.
[12:29] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: the rpm? that might be tough..
[12:29] <balle> gregory> and i just need to like, un install it
[12:29] <balle> gizmo> yea, but i think i should uninstall the gnash one first
[12:29] <Gizmo_The_Great> balle, use your Ubuntu package manager to uninstall if you unsure
[12:29] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad?
[12:29] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, ??
[12:30] <jack_spratt> OonSuomesta: you tried acme?
[12:30] <gregory> balle: you can do this via the packet manager
[12:30] <OonSuomesta> My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2
[12:30] <zainerkin_> whats the shortcut to open terminal
[12:30] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. Trying to find a simple hardware RAID monitoring tool - something that sits in the 'taskbar' with a green light when all is OK, amber when something wrong and red when something seriously wrong, or something similar. Does anyone know of such a utility?
[12:30] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: ubuntu does not use rpm
[12:30] <zainerkin_> whats the shortcut to open terminal
[12:30] <balle> gregory> can\t i do it with the add&remove application thingy_
[12:30] <zainerkin_> please
[12:30] <Starnestommy> zainerkin_: I think you have to add one yourself
[12:30] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, I know. But you can convert and then install RPMs
[12:30] <OonSuomesta> jack_spratt: whats acme? If you mean the shortcut keys program, i doesnt detect when I turn it
[12:30] <zainerkin_> oh okay no probs thnaks
[12:30] <gregory> balle: is it blocked, because gnash is needed by other programs?
[12:31] <jack_spratt> zainerkin_: cttrl + alt + F2
[12:31] <bazhang> Gizmo_The_Great: alien is not a good thing to use or advise others to use
[12:31] <foldart> zainerkin_: none by default.  ctrl-alt-f2 then "gnome-terminal"
[12:31] <larson9999> i just don't get it.  i'd been having random locks up with both gutsy and fiesty.  more with gutsy.  after many hours on the forums trying lots of 'fixes', i got it down to only about 1 or 2 lockups a day.  i settled for that.  it so happened that when i was finally not disgusted with gutsy that i had an occation to try arch.  not one lockup in a month.  i figured mabye it was due to the fact i'd been upgrading vs installing refresh
[12:31] <larson9999>  with ubuntu.  so i installed gutys(and heron for fun) to see if that was it.  nope.  still get lockups.
[12:31] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad? My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2
[12:31] <jack_spratt> OonSuomesta: erm I thought you jsut wanted to remap some multimedia keys
[12:31] <bazhang> zainerkin_: alt f2 terminal
[12:31] <balle> gregory> no but there is gnash and gnash common, which one should i delete_
[12:32] <foldart> zainerkin_: argh yes, alt-f2 sorry
[12:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, I wasn't advising. I was giving him options.
[12:32] <gregory> balle: both
[12:32] <rym> Question, I want to tar a complete folder via terminal
[12:32] <rym> how can i exclude certain files from within the folder
[12:32] <Ubuntu-fan> Hey all, I have a problem... I erased a folder I do need after all, I am using Ubuntu 7.10   any way to recover that file in bash, or any software for Ubuntu that can recover deleted files / folders (trash is empty)
[12:32] <rym> basically what i like to do is tar xczf test.tgz * <exclude certain foldes>
[12:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> bazhang, i did say 'rpm or deb' because I couldn't remember what the site makes available for download.
[12:32] <stiffler> foldart, hmm... also I have gutsy-proposed repo, should I have it enable?
[12:32] <GullyFoyle> larson9999: Arch is teh pwnz0r. once I tried it I never went back.
[12:33] <OonSuomesta> can anyone help me with my keyboard's volume switch-pad? My keyboard is in event1, but that volume-switcher makes input only on event2. I've tried xev, but it doesnt show anything. cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60719/ <-- Look at the rows 22-32
[12:33] <gregory> Ubuntu-fan: theoretically yes, but very difficult
[12:33] <GullyFoyle> larson9999: but Arch is more for intermediate linux users, ubuntu is geared more for beginners
[12:33] <Ibback> HELP!!!. i upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to hardy and and compiz is not functioning properly and system->administration->software sources is not running and stated that "Not all updates can be installed" only partial update is allowed and when i click on the partial upgrade button it return the error "cannot upgrade "an upgrade from Hardy to gutsy is not supported with this tool"....PLS HELP!!!!!
[12:33] <foldart> stiffler: only if you're happy to be a tester of packages prior to their release
[12:34] <ki> ubuntuuuu!
[12:34] <ki> long time no see
[12:34] <balle> gregory> it is done
[12:34] <balle> chcking
[12:34] <Ubuntu-fan> gregory: Well do you know of a tutorial, or do you have time and are willing to walk me through it ?
[12:34] <larson9999> GullyFoyle, the reason i decided to give ubuntu a go on this one machine is that the other 2 i converted to arch were faster than ubuntu.  but one of the laptops wasn't.  and i like ubuntu for 'political' reasons.  so i want it to work for me.
[12:34] <Ubuntu-fan> gregory: Cuz I don't really know what I am doing
[12:34] <foldart> !undelete | Ubuntu-fan
[12:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu-fan: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Remember that it's tricky to recover deleted files from your journalled !filesystem, and you should keep !backups of important data.
[12:35] <OonSuomesta> well, I think its better for me to go to the forums since here I can't get any reply.
[12:35] <balle> gregory> thx, that hit the spot
[12:36] <balle> gregory: fixed my keyboard as well
[12:36] <gregory> Ubuntu-fan: i cant walk you through, sorry. recovering is some sort of cia job, well sort of. you can power down the computer and then reboot it with a special recover cd (touching the harddisk in read mode only). unless the data is not of $$$$'s value you should try to live it: its gone. try better next time :-(
[12:37] <larson9999> what's the command for undeleting files?  "cp /from/your/backup/silly" :)
[12:37] <gregory> larson9999: true
 sjovan: http://rafb.net/p/Xc9w2K13.html
[12:37] <Ibback> Hellloooo.....is there any1 that can help me out pls
[12:37] <Starnestommy> Ibback: try #ubuntu+1
[12:38] <g0th> re
[12:38] <Ibback> ok. thank
[12:38] <g0th> so I still have my problem with the strange file names
[12:39] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: Well it wasn't my file, I just copied it over, and thought I could delete it afterwards, but the person I copied it form thought I would still have it, and deleted it off her Camera
[12:40] <Gizmo_The_Great> No one know of a RAID tool that gives a GUI feedback?
[12:40] <Ubuntu-fan> and yes I have told her to use a recovery tool on her SD Card, but I wanted to see what I can do to recover it off of my computer
[12:41] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, sorry.  i was just half joking.  we've all lost files we just created or should have backed up but didn't.  still never a bad time to be reminded how important it is to backup.
[12:41] <balle> i can't find the right settings for my screen, anybody got a clue? it's currently running on custem 800x600 and no matter what else i choose it can't seem to get it right, anybody got a clue to what i should do?
[12:41] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: true ;)
[12:41] <bazhang> balle: what card and what drivers and how were they installed?
[12:42] <Gizmo_The_Great> Ubuntu-fan, easiest way to recover a few files from a system\disk\card with only a few files on it (less than 500) is to use FTK Imager from www.accessdata.com. It's free and easy to use, although it does only run in Windows
[12:42] <balle> bazhang: nvidia 6600go, no drivers installed what so ever, last time i did that, i had to reinstall ubuntu, but when i do it seems to run fine in 1200x7someting but i tried to hook up my ekstra screen and it just whent nuts..
[12:43] <Ubuntu-fan> Gizmo_The_Great: problem is I don't have the card, the person who the card belongs to has the card... and I already sent her a link to this other software for picture recovery, but if that doesn't work, I'll send this link her way, thanks
[12:44] <hischild> how can i see how much space a folder uses?
[12:44] <bazhang> balle: this is gutsy, right? have you checked the restricted drivers manager for the appropriate drivers for that card?
[12:44] <Gizmo_The_Great> hischild, df folder
[12:44] <Starnestommy> hischild: du -h file/folder
[12:45] <Gizmo_The_Great> hischild, sorry - du as Starnestommy says
[12:45] <balle> bazhang: yes it is, the last time i enabled the restricted drivers, my screen messed up, and i got like 4 small screens with 8 cursers on top of each other
[12:45] <hischild> Gizmo_The_Great, Starnestommy, thanks :-) works perfect
[12:45] <Eko_Hermiyanto> is it possible to run mac os x on top of ubuntu?
[12:45] <balle> bazhang: i'd rather check my other options first..

[12:46]  * A[D]minS is away: I'm busy
[12:46] <A[D]minS> ops
[12:46] <A[D]minS> sorry
[12:47] <A[D]minS> i forget to disable it
[12:47] <rhyhann> I can't connect to my Jabber server (in fact everybody can connect except me). How can I fix this annoying problem ?
[12:47] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, uname -a
[12:47] <balle> bazhang: got any ideas how to avoid that happening?
[12:47] <Ubuntu-fan> larson9999: thanks m8
[12:48] <larson9999> Ubuntu-fan, or uname -r if that's ALL you want to see
[12:48] <zepolen> where is the default codec location for xubuntu 7.10?
[12:48] <Jay_> Hi....Can I safely delete the fonts from mt "fonts:///" directory.?
[12:49] <egoleo> hey guys
[12:49] <unop> zepolen, it depends on the codecs -- the location for w32codecs would be /usr/lib/win32
[12:49] <AudioSenseCD> hi guys
[12:49] <gregory> Jay_: why would you want to del them?
[12:50] <AudioSenseCD> guys i need some it is possible psybnc works in ubuntu?
[12:50] <balle> i can't find the right settings for my screen, anybody got a clue? it's currently running on custem 800x600 and no matter what else i choose it can't seem to get it right, anybody got a clue to what i should do?
[12:50] <zepolen> unop: and to get the w32codecs?
[12:50] <Jay_> Heard that having too many fonts increases Start-up time....
[12:50] <Starnestommy> AudioSenseCD: yes, but I think you have to compile it yourself
[12:50] <gregory> Jay_: start up time of the os? or a specific program?
[12:51] <unop> !w32codecs | zepolen
[12:51] <ubotu> zepolen: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[12:51] <balle> i can't find the right settings for my screen, anybody got a clue? it's currently running on custem 800x600 and no matter what else i choose it can't seem to get it right, anybody got a clue to what i should do?
[12:51] <Jay_> Gregory: Of the OS as well as of the Apps that search the fonts dir. while start-up
[12:51] <huangjs> Hi, I have a question. I'm about to graduate and I want to migrate all my stuff from the PC in the lab to the my own  laptop. which is the recommended way to do that?
[12:51] <unop> !res | balle
[12:51] <ubotu> balle: 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
[12:52] <AudioSenseCD> Starnestommy: how and where can i DL what link?
[12:52] <unop> huangjs, what os does the laptop run?
[12:52] <gregory> Jay_: well thats true. still i would keep the fonts. unless you want to fix it afterwards booting from a live cd and manually copying them back
[12:52] <egoleo> i have installed skype on gutsy and when i make calls, i can hear my partner but i my partner cant hear me
[12:52] <egoleo> someone hlp me plse
[12:52] <huangjs> unop: not installed. the OS on the PC is 7.04, but I plan to install 8.04 on my laptop.
[12:53] <Jay_> Actually, I have some fonts which I seldom have use for.I am thinking about deleting them
[12:53] <zepolen> unop: totem wants cook.so - there is a cook.so in /usr/lib/win32 and it still cant see it
[12:54] <bazhang> balle you should take at that link first; if that does not work then we can try something else
[12:54] <unop> huangjs, you can setup a samba or nfs share on the laptop and access that share from one of the labs pcs -- then its just a matter of copying your files across to the share
[12:54] <zepolen> where does totem look for codecs on ubuntu 7.10
[12:54] <Starnestommy> AudioSenseCD: I think their site's down, but google says it's www.psybnc.at
[12:54] <huangjs> unop: ok, I'll try, thank.
[12:54] <locales> oi
[12:54] <unop> zepolen, install w32codecs .. that way, the codecs are registered and your players can utilize them
[12:55]  * arke is teh back
[12:55] <zepolen> unop: i am not allowed to use medibuntu
[12:55] <zainerkin> how can i found out the network interface name of my wifi card.
[12:55] <unop> zepolen, why not?
[12:55] <locales> anyone happen to know how to set java language support?
[12:55] <zainerkin> how can i found out the network interface name of my wifi card.
[12:55] <zepolen> unop: no changes to sources.list
[12:55] <unop> zainerkin, use the iwconfig command
[12:55] <Starnestommy> zainerkin: iwconfig or ifconfig
[12:56] <zepolen> whats wrong with knowing where the codecs are stored on ubuntu
[12:56] <Starnestommy> zepolen: they're stored in all sorts of random places, usually somewhere in /usr/lib
[12:57] <RioMerc> Hey ubuntu-ers
[12:57] <RioMerc> Question about Dual-screens
[12:57] <unop> zepolen, nothing wrong -- but have a read here - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
[12:57] <RioMerc> Anyone want to take it on?
[12:57] <RioMerc> Well, I'd better tell you the problem
[12:58] <RioMerc> I've attempted to setup BigDesktop using a tutorial (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773544) and I've had no success
[12:58] <RioMerc> Just the normal cloned desktop layout, with the exception that one monitor's refresh rate is fixed
[12:58] <zepolen> unop: i have read that - but have no idea which path the mplayer package on ubuntu was --configured with
[12:59] <[BT]JaC> hi there, what do i type into apt-get to install all the standard stuff
[12:59] <unop> zepolen, chances are that if you have no write access over /etc/apt/sources.list, you also have no access to place codecs in /usr/lib/win32  .. do you have write access to that directory?
[12:59] <chazco> Hi... is it possible to backport a driver from Hardy to Gusty? (TV card). Also, is it possible to install the nvidia driver that the restricted manager installs from the command line?
[12:59] <unop> zepolen, mplayer codecs go in /usr/lib/win32
[12:59] <balle> that didn\t work
[13:00] <zepolen> unop: totem doesnt see the cook.so it complains about which is in /usr/lib/win32
[13:00] <[BT]JaC> hi there, what do i type into apt-get to install all the standard stuff
[13:00] <balle> i apperently have no gnome manager running, how do i get that_
[13:00] <Starnestommy> [BT]JaC: it might be sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:00] <[BT]JaC> huh
[13:01] <[BT]JaC> i mean to install all the standards for ubuntu
[13:01] <unop> zepolen, cook.so might have other dependencies that are not available, which is why i suggested you install the package in the first place -- but you dont seem to be answering the questions i ask, so i'm not sure how i can really help you.

[13:08] <Starnestommy> ampmaniac: try ifconfig
[13:08] <unop> ampmaniac, use the  route -n command -- the gateway is the one associated with the 0.0.0.0 route

[13:08] <unop> zepolen,  /usr/lib/codecs is sometimes a link to /usr/lib/win32  or vice-versa
[13:09] <ampmaniac> thanks all!
[13:09] <foldart> ooh yes, 'route -n' looks good (ta unop)

[13:10] <zainerkin> the wireless card in question is ath0
[13:10] <unop> zainerkin, you see your iwconfig output -- eth1 lists the various settings around wireless -- therefore eth1 is your wireless interface
[13:10] <zainerkin> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60722/  done unop
[13:11] <zainerkin> I have to wireless card eth1 and ath0
[13:11] <unop> zainerkin, well, there you go  then :)
[13:11] <balle> unop> should i enable the kernel framebuffer_
[13:12] <zainerkin> I need the network name  see link  http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=newbie_guide
[13:12] <zainerkin> http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=newbie_guide
[13:12] <unop> balle, usually, you don't no
[13:12] <zainerkin> “rausb0” is the network interface (nic) name. If you are using a different WLAN device than a rt2570 you'll have to use a different nic name. Take a look in the documentation of the nic driver.
[13:12] <unop> balle, go with no
[13:12] <balle> thx
[13:12] <unop> zainerkin, i dont see a problem
[13:13] <unop> daya, i think the only option you have is to upload all the individual files from the tar.gz archive individually -- although, you might be able to use something like ncftp to upload an entire direcrory's contents at a time
[13:13] <zainerkin> thanks for the commands but its not what I am after its not you its me I can not expalin it. I have pasted a link of the tutorial tham I am following which is vague
[13:14] <unop> zainerkin, you are after the name of your wireless interface, right?#
[13:14] <chowder> I got the beta for hardy. It has its pros and cons. My computer has slowed down but the internet is more stable. I've had a few apps crashing though
[13:14] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please chowder
[13:15] <daya> unop, ok thanks for the suggestion, I don't know about ncftp
[13:15] <unop> chowder, you'd expect that from any pre-release software
[13:15] <balle> unop> ehm what\s my keyboard variant_  i dont know that
[13:15] <zainerkin> yes I am after the name of the name of the wifi interface card

[13:17] <dt84> hi. In Windows I used to work with EditPlus (http://www.editplus.com) to edit my HTML/CSS/JS files. It's similar to Notepad++. Can someone recommend me something similar for ubuntu? I find gedit too simple. I'm looking for something easy and pretty small

[13:19] <mad_max02> jrib, thanks dude
[13:19] <balle> unop> sry i\m not more patient
[13:19] <mad_max02> jrib, can I clean that directory ??? it has more than 3 gigs in it
[13:20] <jrib> mad_max02: use 'apt-get clean' or 'apt-get autoclean'.  'man apt-get' explains the difference

[13:21] <ubotu> hellues: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience

[13:35] <balle> unop> ahh.... and how do i do that, just a reboot or what_
[13:35] <unop> balle, that works -- but you can use -- sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, the livecd install always formats it/s own / root.. but not other partitions on the drive. as in seperate /home or /var..
[13:36] <balle> unop> last time, that meant a reboot
[13:36] <zainerkin> unop i explained it wrong its nic name in the tutorial but actually its the network cards logical nam.
[13:36] <marko-_-_> nobody ??
[13:36] <unop> mohi, try this -- dpkg -force-all -i package.deb
[13:36] <MiraiWarren0_0> Hi, I am trying to use my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu and although it was detected automatically and works to a degree, there are minor things, like pressure sensitivity, that do not work.
[13:36] <unop> mohi, err -- dpkg -force-all --i package.deb
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, the new one has the neame of the "In use" one.  if your changes did not stick then you are setting it up wrong.
[13:37] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: So... all I have to do is select "manual" on the partition screen and specify the logcial partition I am building right now as the root and the other partition will not be touched?
[13:37] <MiraiWarren0_0> Is there a way to fix something like that?
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.  Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults
[13:37] <hellues> again same mistakes
[13:38] <hellues> gdm empty filename
[13:38] <hellues> apt-get clean not work
[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, correct.  it will only force you to format whatever partition you chose for /root
[13:38] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: Nice!!!!
[13:38] <mohi> unop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6011/
[13:38] <hellues> its boring
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you have enough for a second swap partition you can do that as it will eliminate one issue for hibernate/suspend etc.
[13:39] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean? What issue?
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, It is hard to follow or answer questions and conversations that are only 3hee lines between enter keys.
[13:40] <hemp> hello guys. i have ubuntu 5.04 installed, is it possible to upgrade directly to 7.10?
[13:40] <bazhang> hemp: nay
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you have enough for a second swap partition you can do that as it will eliminate one issue for hibernate/suspend etc. If you dual boot, and hibernate one os and boot the other, you may be overwriting something in swap you wanted..
[13:41] <bazhang> hemp: that system is no longer supported; best to back up and install something more recent
[13:41] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: If I do not want to dual boot, will I have this issue?
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, no it wont work
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, no
[13:41] <hemp> bazhang, yea, i understand but 5.04 is the only version which actually booted
[13:41] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: I do not want to dual boot. I want to replace Suse.
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, may I suggest one thing...
[13:41] <bartmon> O hai!
[13:42] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: PLEASE :)! :)
[13:42] <bazhang> hemp: have you tried the alternate install for gutsy?
[13:42] <hemp> yep
[13:42] <dt84> jrib: thanks for the link, I'll look for interesting things in there
[13:42] <bartmon> Which Linux IRC client would you recommend for my sister who is a longtime mIRC user on windows?
[13:42] <bazhang> hemp: as well as the minimal installer?
[13:42] <hemp> BitchX! :]
[13:42] <cabrioleur> hemp, apply noapic nolapic to boot options
[13:42] <hemp> bazhang, yes
[13:43] <Starnestommy> bartmon: xchat
[13:43] <hemp> its well, and old laptop
[13:43] <roychri> bartmon: xchat
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, if you install full working system on a single partition you will not have any issuses as home will be inside root,  it is then a known working system so you can redirect from a working system to your old home as I think that is what you want to do eventually
[13:43] <hemp> a lot of installs wont boot simply
[13:43] <Waistless> bartmon: i'd recommend chatzilla
[13:43] <Nasra> Hi, can any1 tell me why when I click to watch a tv station it shows like in slow motiong ....is there anything I need to click to change / improve in order to correct this problem.....
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, kvirc or konversation
[13:43] <jrib> dt84: in my opinion, vim is the nicest editor out there, but it takes some learning.  Some people seem to like emacs and kate too
[13:44] <bazhang> hemp: just saying it doesnt work is not much to go on; if you want help with installation issues then more info would be appreciated
[13:44] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: yes, that is what I want to do.  Once the install is finished, I will change it so that the home partition is using my existing/old partition.
[13:44] <pcbysurcouf> KIM VAN KIEU
[13:44] <cabrioleur> Nasra, what vo you're using?
[13:44] <bartmon> Jack_Sparrow: I use gnome so i prefe rnot to install qt unless reallly necessary
[13:44] <hemp> bazhang, i think what im gonna do is upgrade the existing install
[13:44] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, just pointing that option out,  It is easy to point to your old home during the install, but if there is a conflict you dont get a working system
[13:44] <bazhang> pcbysurcouf: english please
[13:44] <hemp> as i got it to detect all my hw and stuff
[13:45] <Nasra> Cabrioleur: it just streams out by itself by clicking here there....no idea.....
[13:45] <bazhang> hemp: then you are on your own as that is no longer supported
[13:45] <bLk-LaBeL> ubuntu rocks
[13:45] <Nasra> I have amarok ...but it does not connect togethere...
[13:45] <cabrioleur> Nasra, what software?
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, just pointing out the two that have more of the look and feel you asked about  you can configure xchat to be quite nice
[13:46] <stiffler> somebody know how can I play amr files on ubuntu?
[13:46] <balle> is the VLC player any good, and how do i install it?
[13:46] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, it is appreciated.
[13:46] <Nasra> cabrioleur....how can I tell?
[13:46] <boris> hello
[13:46] <bazhang> balle:  sudo apt-get install vlc
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, upgrading from a release that is past the eol can be chaellenging
[13:46] <bLk-LaBeL> so much potential if only it wasn`t copyrighted
[13:47] <bartmon> Jack_Sparrow: OK, I dig. thank to all who recommended.
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, you sound like you have a good understanding of the process.  it will go fine
[13:47] <Polarina> bLk-LaBeL: Almost every software included in Ubuntu is copyrighted.
[13:47] <cabrioleur> Nasra, check in your options/preferences
[13:47] <boris> i just figured out my multimedia Mute and Sound + and - keys dont work. it could be because i recently put in a new sound card, however my old sound card is integrated. the reason for new card is that 1 speaker wasnt working, not it is
[13:47] <balle> bazhang: 42 MB?
[13:47] <balle> and that a bit much?
[13:47] <Nasra> used to watch it better a couple days ago.
[13:47] <dt84> jrib: thanks a lot, you game me a good place to start from. Kate is for KDE, right?
[13:47] <sorto> I've got a directory structure where there are 2 zip files in each subdirectory. How could I extract all zip files in all subdirectories?
[13:47] <roychri> Jack_Sparrow: I have been using linux for 5+ years now, but my first time with ubuntu.  Tried many distro before, but I am not an admin, I am a user.
[13:47] <boris> now*
[13:47] <cabrioleur> stiffler, mplayer/vlc should be able to play it.
[13:47] <dt84> *gave
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> bLk-LaBeL, Did you have a support question
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> roychri, welcome to ubuntu
[13:48] <mohi> any idea please? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6010/
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound | boris
[13:48] <ubotu> boris: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[13:49] <bLk-LaBeL> sort of sorry for taking time, is C++ still the basis for programing+
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> mohi, where did you get your copy of apache2?
[13:50] <kirberich> hi there, if there's somebody with udev-experience here, I'm confused about a nonworking udev rule. The rule is KERNEL=="ttyACM*", RUN+="echo blubb > /tmp/blubb", but nothing happens when I plug in the device
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> blkno1, yes.. they should have a channel on freenode #C++
[13:50] <hemp> bazhang, i'm always on my own :]
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, do you have a newer release cd that would not install or boot for you?
[13:51] <hemp> yes
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> 6.06 or 7.04 perhaps
[13:51] <hemp> well i cant complain actually, i was too lazy to try booting those cds on other pcs
[13:51] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: i see 4 devices : 1.(ticked): CA0106 (Alsa mixer), 2.Intel ICH5 (Alsa mixer), 3.USB Device bla bla bla /Alsa mixer), 4. mixer 00 (OSS mixer)
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[13:52] <hemp> ok, thx, ill try
[13:52] <Polarina> hemp: To what extend doesn't it want to boot? What's the error message? How far does it boot before the fault?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> boris, Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.
[13:52] <hemp> that laptop needs the acpi=off apm=on to get the net working
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> hemp, same here
[13:53] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: im getting sound, just my multimedia keys wont work, i can change sound with the button on my speakers
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[13:53] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts
[13:53] <boris> Jack_Sparrow: they worked previously
[13:54] <mildner> anybody with ubuntu 8.04
[13:54] <Starnestommy> mildner: try #ubuntu+1
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> boris, If they worked previously with ubuntu, what changed on your system.. added a new sound card right?
[13:54] <hemp> 7.10 alternate cd shows ISOLINUX 3.36 Debian-2007 blahblah, then freezes up

[14:11] <f0rmat> unop: i have used it before there is a synaptic package :S i just forgot the name
[14:12] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: weird if i press at the same time four will work to move left really weird but the speed is awful what is that app called again
[14:12] <an_droid> KleRoi, you may be able to help the overheating by opening your laptop and checking for any dust / dirt that has collected there.
[14:12] <jrib> f0rmat: nautilus-open-terminal
[14:12] <f0rmat> oh i think i found ir
[14:12] <f0rmat> *it
[14:12] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: xkbset
[14:12] <f0rmat> :D
[14:12] <unop> hellues, try cleaning the download cache and running the command again -- sudo aptitude clean
[14:12] <krim> I'm using visual effects and when i for example right click in a video in mplayer I get a thick blue border where I guess the shadow would have went. It wasn't like that until I restarted my computer, but I remember it being like that in the past. Does anyone know how to fix it?
[14:12] <KleRoi> okay an_droid, thats what i thought.. but i was a bit scared about opening the laptop.. didn't want to do any damage
[14:13] <Thutti> Hi, I have a problem I cannot play any video files. Infact any video players I try to use just tries to startup and then crashes.
[14:13] <an_droid> bazhang, thank you.
[14:13] <f0rmat> unop: nautilus-open-terminal
[14:13] <f0rmat> :)
[14:13] <f0rmat> thats the package
[14:13] <hellues> Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60727/
[14:13] <hellues> unop, i try this its not work
[14:13] <balle> what's the best torrent app to get?
[14:13] <cubexombi> does anyone know offhand what the preffered method of getting TV-out to work with the open source drivers for ATI cards is? Im getting conflicting how-to's online and would rather not fudge up my laptop
[14:13] <unop> f0rmat, right, cool :) i don't use nautilus but anyway
[14:13] <f0rmat> :0
[14:14] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: its is in synaptic right
[14:14] <krim> balle: There is no best. It's a matter of taste.
[14:14] <an_droid> KleRoi, perhaps it would be worthwhile if you have the resources to do so, to take the laptop to a company who specialise with laptops to give it a full cleanup and hardware check.
[14:14] <hellues> when i command apt-get clean and apt-get install k3b it downloaded something but after downlading same error come up
[14:14] <KleRoi> mmm ok, there's no way to control the fan speed with some ubuntu soft an_droid?
[14:14] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: yes
[14:14] <krim> cubexombi: My favourite it rtorrent, other good ones are Deluge, Transmission (which will be default in next version of Ubuntu), Azureus and kTorrent if you're using KDE
[14:14] <idefix> hi, when I would like to print I need to run the command 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install cupsys' everytime, how can I configure so it is not undone everytime I restart?
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and manually put it in the pastebin please
[14:15] <krim> cubexombi: Sorry that wasn't for you
[14:15] <unop> hellues, it looks like the packages apt is downloading are being corrupted somehow -- you might like to try using a different mirror or investigating connection problems
[14:15] <cubexombi> umm.. ok thats what I thought
[14:15] <gullstad> Hello. How can I mount a samba nettwork disc?
[14:15] <unop> hellues, but i have to go now -- perhaps someone else can help you on thta
[14:15] <cubexombi> (like my bittornado though,)
[14:15] <unop> that*
[14:15] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: what is the different between apt-get and apptitude "if im spelling it right" ive seen it a couple of time but dont know the difference
[14:15] <hellues> thank you unop
[14:15] <bazhang> hellues what is this root@ubuntu?
[14:15] <an_droid> KleRoi, I am not aware af any software that does so, however from my limited knowledge on issues dealing with over heating the only thing I can think of at this time is that you may be able to change the settings in your bios if they are available.
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Pirate_Hunter, next to no difference
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and manually put it in the pastebin please
[14:16] <KleRoi> allright, thanks for the help an_droid
[14:16] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: aptitude has a nice ncurses interface and remembers dependencies, so when you remove things it removes dependencies you no longer need (apt-get does something similar with "autoremove")

[14:28] <HinHin> hardy's new xorg 7.3 is very nice indeed
[14:28] <aoupi> hi, xbindkeys doesn't work, it complains that some other application is already using the keys (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60732/) how do I find out which?
[14:29] <an_droid> bazhang, Thanks for the link. I have located the information on the page that relates to my chipset but still am not sure how to configure it, would you mind helping me through some of the steps?
[14:29] <gligorhoria> urlwolf do you have xorg? copy the text and try mouse right click on the terminal
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> localadmi1, A diagnostic script that pulls driver and card info and puts it into a pastebin...
[14:29] <whileimhere> Never mind someone just PMed me with the answer
[14:29] <HinHin> FINALLY linux is getting some plug and play kinda functionality when it comes with monitors
[14:29] <localadmi1> ok cool
[14:29] <HinHin> (with Xorg 7.3)
[14:29] <urlwolf> gligorhoria: I can do that. right click pastes of course
[14:29] <urlwolf> but I want the more ordinary 'windows-like' ctrl c behavior
[14:30] <moveax1> whileimhere, what command you used? what was the error message?
[14:30] <hemp_> like you change monitors that often anyway
[14:30] <gligorhoria> urlwolf oh sorry then i don't know...
[14:30] <juragonx> hi
[14:30] <HinHin> urlwolf, what's the problem?
[14:30] <an_droid> bazhang, would you help me through some of the steps to configure the ad-hoc?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, glad you like it...   please try to stay on topic
[14:30] <hellues> Jack_Sparrow,  what is fyi
[14:30] <balle> i can't even force mount my partition pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60733/   what is wrong?
[14:30] <jtravnick> will different video cards really make that much difference when looking at a web page?
[14:30] <HinHin> want to copy things in terminal?
[14:30] <moveax1> whileimhere, you want to add and delete files as normal user?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> hellues, for your information
[14:30] <bazhang> hemp_: make sure your horizsync is set  31.5 - 48.5 and vertrefresh set to 50-70
[14:30] <hellues> hmm
[14:30] <urlwolf> I simply want to assign keyboard shortcuts, but there's no 'paste' or 'copy' options in the list of actions
[14:31] <hellues> but
[14:31] <an_droid> hellues, fyi stands for 'for your information'
[14:31] <hellues> i cannot install any package
[14:31] <RioMerc> Fike
[14:31] <RioMerc> I thought so
[14:31] <HinHin> Jack_Sparrow, It's not exclusively a support channel -_-
[14:31] <hellues> i cannot configure
[14:31] <balle> i can't even force mount my partition pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60733/   what is wrong?
[14:31] <hellues> what must i do
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, actually.. it is..
[14:31] <cyclonut> hey folks, my sound occasionally stops working. It appears to be primarily after I've used flash. Anyhow, I was wondering how I might restart the sound subsystems?
[14:31] <HinHin> and i am actually giving free help where i can to people
[14:31] <urlwolf> nobody here useing gnome terminal?
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, actually specifically it is support only,,  and NOT for users of HArdy.. specifically
[14:32] <SliMM> how can i make a shortcut similar to "ctrl+<up arrow key>" in gedit with python?
[14:32] <HinHin> Jack_Sparrow, i was making a short comment about it
[14:32] <HinHin> i don't use it
[14:32] <cyclonut> urlwolf, sure, I use it
[14:32] <RioMerc> Would anyone mind helping me set up my audio?
[14:32] <gligorhoria> balle cd /usr        mkdir win       mount /dev/sda5 win -ntfs
[14:32] <urlwolf> HinHin: I just want to copy and paste like in windows (or in xvfe terminal)
[14:33] <bazhang> an_droid: which steps in that link did not understand; specify please
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> HinHin, and I tried to politely ask you to stay on topic as others were starting to comment on your comment
[14:33] <HinHin> urlwolf, you're using gnome right?
[14:33] <cyclonut> urlwolf, use ctrl + shift + v or ctril + shift + c
[14:33] <HinHin> you should be able to ctrl+c to copy text, in everything except bash terminal
[14:34] <Parsec300> balle, you need to create a directory in /media then mount it to that dir, not /dev/media/sda5
[14:34] <urlwolf> cyclonut: nope, it doesn't work
[14:34] <cabrioleur> balle, "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs" and "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5"
[14:34] <HinHin> (ctrl + c in bash terminals basicly stops the application)
[14:34] <bazhang> hemp_: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_T21 please read
[14:34] <gligorhoria> balle and if you want the fat32 mounted you could use mount /dev/sda1 win -fat
[14:34] <RioMerc> I seem to be having great difficulty of late getting help around here :(
[14:34] <urlwolf> I'm running xvfe though
[14:34] <cyclonut> urlwolf, then, if you're using compiz, check to see if any of your shortcuts are set up to ctrl + shift + v
[14:34] <urlwolf> using  Multi Gnome Terminal
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[14:35] <Parsec300> balle it would be like 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/windows'. You probably don't even have to force anything.
[14:35] <HinHin> urlwolf, xvfe? Do you mean xfce?
[14:35] <cyclonut> dunno, gterm for me listens to ctrl shift c/v
[14:35] <urlwolf> xfce sorry :)
[14:35] <HinHin> ah thought that was a bit weird :P
[14:35] <HinHin> urlwolf, i'm using xfce as well ^^ you should be able too...
[14:35] <an_droid> bazhang, wlanmode ad-hoc does this mean that the card is now set to recieve connections / connect to .. my other computer?
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc, What is your question.
[14:35] <urlwolf> are you using  Multi Gnome Terminal ?
[14:35] <DeadLy_sp> im under xfce4 too :D
[14:35] <urlwolf> :)
[14:36] <urlwolf> is compiz related to xfce?
[14:36] <bazhang> an_droid: did you read that link?
[14:36] <HinHin> urlwolf, i just use the default bash and zsh
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> urlwolf, no
[14:36] <urlwolf> oh, is a 3d thing
[14:36] <urlwolf> ic
[14:36] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, the link you pasted to me.
[14:36] <RioMerc> Jack_sparrow, I'm having some problems setting up sound, so far, not success
[14:36] <urlwolf> no I dont use it
[14:36] <HinHin> to copy things in terminal urlwolf you just need to highlight the text
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc, have you been through the sound help link?
[14:36] <urlwolf> I know
[14:36] <RioMerc> Yes, Jack_sparrow
[14:36] <HinHin> you don't need to right click and press copy
[14:36] <urlwolf> but I want the more standard methond
[14:37] <urlwolf> ctrl c and ctrl v
[14:37] <HinHin> it'll auto clip it to the clip board
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> RioMerc,  for serious help..  Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.
[14:37] <RioMerc> I noticed somthing about: Enable sound
[14:37] <RioMerc> server startup
[14:37] <urlwolf> xfce terminal does that fine
[14:37] <bazhang> an_droid: in your original question you mentioned ad hoc; thus the link I sent you--perhaps you could outline what you are trying to achieve and then we can see what the optimal method for achieving that
[14:37] <an_droid> bazhang, My network card on this pc says that it is connected with 100% signal to the other computer.
[14:37] <spyd3r> help--i recently upgraded from onboard memory to an ATI RADOEN X600 and now when i try to enable my desktop effects, i get a 'composite extension not available' error.
[14:37] <hemp_> bazhang, how do i do that? or that was something related to monitor changing, not all ubuntus failing to booot?
[14:37] <DeadLy_sp> i use gnome-terminal
[14:37] <spyd3r> **onboard video not memory
[14:37] <RioMerc> Ok, thanks
[14:37] <DeadLy_sp> i like more
[14:37] <urlwolf> I just want multiple windows (split) within a terminal, and only  Multi Gnome Terminal  does that I think
[14:38] <HinHin> ah! urlwolf like tabs?
[14:38] <urlwolf> no tabs, I have tabs
[14:38] <bazhang> hemp_: did you read the thinkwiki link yet?
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, did you enable restricted drivers for your video card..
[14:38] <urlwolf> but vertical splits etc
[14:38] <spyd3r> yes
[14:38] <an_droid> bazhang, thanks, yes good idea, The goal is to be able to use internet on my laptop by getting access through wireless ad-hoc connection with this main pc.
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, did you install xgl ?
[14:38] <spyd3r> no
[14:38] <HinHin> urlwolf, ah i see... sorry not familiar with shell setups like that
[14:38] <HinHin> personally i just put windows next to each other
[14:38] <BB4L> how do you configure the hto1 interface to connect to a network?
[14:38] <urlwolf> I did that before
[14:39] <bazhang> an_droid: this is a pc connected to a adsl modem? with or without a router between them
[14:39] <cyclonut> urlwolf: try terminator perhaps?
[14:39] <BB4L> etho1
[14:39] <urlwolf> but this solution is much better :/
[14:39] <urlwolf> terminator :)
[14:39] <hemp_> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_T21 -- found this, but the problem is not that X crashes on boot, but that it wont boot at all
[14:39] <HinHin> i might give it a try
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, The following may not be necessary... The modules may already be installed.
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
[14:39] <hemp_> ok, today is probably not the day for it
[14:39] <HinHin> btw urlwolf ^^ you might want to give zsh a try
[14:39] <hemp_> happy easter (hope i did type it correctly) guys!
[14:39] <urlwolf> I use fish
[14:39] <urlwolf> I love it
[14:40] <HinHin> it's very similar with bash... but XD it's quite good with typos
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx              apt-get install xserver-xgl                         run fglrxinfo in a term
[14:40] <bazhang> hemp_: well if you delved deeper on that site you would see the solution is not that difficult
[14:40] <gullstad> How can I verify that a samba fileserver is up?
[14:40] <HinHin> gullstad, well can you ping the server first?
[14:40] <an_droid> bazhang, the pc is connected by ethernet cable to a d-link router/switch which provides internet to the main pc.
[14:40] <spyd3r> fglxinfo returns: display: :0.0  screen: 0
[14:40] <spyd3r> OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
[14:40] <spyd3r> OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X600 Series

[14:41] <gullstad> HinHin: I know the server is up, but I dont know if the directory is configured right.
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, do NOT paste into the channel please
[14:41] <bazhang> an_droid: this router is wired only, correct? no wireless ability? which in turns leads to a adsl modem?
[14:41] <an_droid> bazhang, It is not an ADSL router, but an ethernet broadband router, as my internet connection is not ADSL (not sure if that makes a difference)
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, you installed those others?
[14:41] <copyleftdev> anyone here cluster there ubuntu machines
[14:42] <bazhang> an_droid: no difference
[14:42] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, it is wired only.

[14:43] <HinHin> gullstad, e.g. mkdir -p /mnt/<make a name here>
[14:43] <an_droid> bazhang, yes, it is wired only.
[14:43] <spyd3r> Jack_Sparrow
[14:43] <spyd3r> yes
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> were any not already installed?
[14:44] <gullstad> HinHin: What? make a new directory? Is that mounting?
[14:44] <moDumass> my internet through browsers is uber slow, any ideas?
[14:44] <HinHin> mount //<location>< the folder> -o username="",password="" /mnt/<your made up folder name>
[14:44] <bazhang> an_droid: well it would be good if you read that link through and asked when things got confusing; teaching someone networking from scratch is not really suited to this channel as it is so noisy etc and quite a lengthy process
[14:44] <spyd3r> libglitz-glx1 libglitz1 xserver-xgl were not installed
[14:44] <moDumass> like its fast through other apps
[14:45] <moDumass> but super slow through browsers
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, log out and back in
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> spyd3r, we may still need to edit xorg
[14:45] <HinHin> gullstad, ah i think there's an easier way actually
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> missed
[14:45] <bazhang> moDumass: this is firefox? do you have a proxy or an onion router on that?
[14:45] <an_droid> bazhang, ok
[14:46] <gullstad> HinHin: An easyer way? Thats not eaven mounting :s
[14:46] <moDumass> bazrahg no
[14:46] <moDumass> and onion router turned off
[14:46] <bazhang> moDumass: no to which question? there were three

Under both ps aux and netstat thier is no sign of VNC yet nmap says port 5900 is open
[14:49] <bazhang> moDumass: from your description sounds like tor; how about deleting it completely
[14:49] <AutumnCat> bazhang: Does the spam usually use /me ?

[14:54] <sjovan> balle: did you try out the 3g pack?
[14:54] <an_droid> bazhang, after checking a different network name.. it appears that ubuntu beleives it is connected at 100 percent to any network name I add.
[14:54] <moDumass> yeh
[14:55] <DeadLy_sp> nobody can help to me ?
[14:55] <balle> sjovan: yea and the ntfs partition is all good but i cant find the mount poit it seems
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, does sudo fdisk -l   find the ntfs drive/partitiohn
[14:55] <Piero_Scaruffi> will ubuntu run on my 433 Mhz intel celeron with 256 mb ram and 8 mb vid memory?
[14:55] <Lainy> Hello, in Ubuntu I am able to read from my NTFS partition (which also has WinXP installed on it). Am I also about to write in this partition? What would happen if I did? Thanks.
[14:56] <sjovan> balle: did you use fstab as i told you to?
[14:56] <balle> jack_sparrow i can find the partition all right, but when i try to mount it into /dev/media/hda5  it says it doesnt exist
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-1    then    sudo mount /dev/hda5 /media/ntfs-1
[14:57] <an_droid> bazhang,what should i do to share the internet connection once steps for atheros card have been followed in the guide?
[14:57] <bartmon> Hai! Is it possible to virtualise 3d applications without a performance hit?
[14:57] <bazhang> an_droid: what is the next step in the guide? does it not specify?
[14:57] <bartmon> (a huge one at least)
[14:57] <sjovan> balle: have you mkdir /dev/media/hda5 ?
[14:57] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, mount       /device       space   mount/point
[14:58] <an_droid> bazhang,it only explains how to set up an ad-hoc network connection.. I am not sure what to do to create internet share after this.
[14:58] <sjovan> balle: btw... why dev/media ? why not just /media/*
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> bartmon, no
[14:58] <sjovan> not that it's inportant or anything...
[14:59] <fertomo> hola
[15:00] <Nigromante> hola
[15:00] <an_droid> bazhang, signal quality is 39 mode is ad-hoc (information using kwifi-manager)

[15:00] <balle> rl
[15:00] <sjovan> balle: have you done mkdir /dev/media/hda5 ?
[15:00] <an_droid> bazhang,noise level indicator shows I am connected.
[15:01] <an_droid> bazhang,channel is 11
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, the command just as I gave them will work...  dont try to mix and match what people are giving you
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> balle, you must make a mount point.. directory,, the mount device to that mount point
[15:02] <an_droid> bazhang,local IP is unavailable
[15:02] <l_r> hello

[15:02] <gregory> yes, but dont use
[15:02] <an_droid> bazhang, there is no specific information in the guide as to what to do next after establishing an ad-hoc connection
[15:02] <gregory> l_r: better use download from adobe website
[15:02] <Starnestommy> l_r: I think it's flashplugin-nonfree
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> l_r, flashplugin-nonfree
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl
[15:02] <epistax> Howdy folks. I have a dual monitor setup, both 1280x1024.  I'm not sure how to ask exactly.. But II can't seem to figure out how to make the screens independent, that is, I want to see two 1280x1024 desktops, not one 2560x1024. Anyone know of a HOW-TO? My googlefu is weak today.
[15:03] <an_droid> Jack_Sparrow, could you help me enable internet connection sharing over an ad-hoc connection with a windows machine?
[15:03] <jocke> When was it Gutsy Gibbon will be out again?
[15:03] <l_r> erm..how do i enable flashplugin-.nonfree?
[15:03] <Starnestommy> jocke: it's been out since October 2007
[15:03] <l_r> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree won't work
[15:03] <jocke> Starnestommy, I mean hardy
[15:03] <Starnestommy> jocke: Hardy Heron, the next release, is for next month sometime
[15:04] <jocke> okeay

[15:06] <LittleCj3k> hi
[15:07] <an_droid> could anyone helpme configure my wifi card to work with firestarter? as firestarter says that my card is 'not ready'
[15:08] <jessica> yes there is a deb for flash player
[15:08] <jessica> its the adobe website
[15:08] <bazhang> an_droid: and after the connections is done are able to connect wirelessly to the internet?
[15:08] <OS4you> #ubuntu
[15:08] <jessica> also if you open up firefox and try and view some flash content it will give you a simple GUI installer for a firefox plugin
[15:09] <kditty> is there a gui program for splitting large mp3 files into multiple mp3s using the cue file?
[15:09] <an_droid> bazhang, no, it appears the card is connected (in other words the radio's see eachother) but apparently my card isnt "configured" (checked in firestarter firewall) it shows that the settings on the card are all zero.  (ie: no IP , no Gateway etc.)
[15:09] <OS4you> I am unable to detect my external USB HDD, can some one help me
[15:10] <l_r> how can i test the flashplayer plugin with the cam?
[15:10] <an_droid> bazhang, also, kwifi manager says that IP address for the connection is "unavailable"
[15:11] <deephan> try mounting it explicitly by giving the mount command in the terminal
[15:11] <Pendeta> After installing KDE on a Ubuntu server, the server will no longer boot normally (it can however be booted in recovery mode). Trying to boot normally results in a blank screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left hand corner. Is there any way to fix this? This is with an encrypted lvn file system.
[15:11] <epistax> maybe my question didn't make sense..
[15:11] <bazhang> http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html an_droid this may be a bit more specific
[15:11] <skarface> Pendeta: what is the graphics card?
[15:12] <an_droid> bazhang,thanks
[15:12] <jessica> if you want flash player just go to terminal and type
[15:12] <jessica> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:12] <amenado> an_droid-> can your wifi card  associate to the AP?
[15:12] <Pendeta> skarface, I don't know. I'll find out and report back.
[15:12] <DeadLy_sp> anyone can help to me with devilspie?
[15:13] <epistax> I have a dual monitor setup that gives me a 2560x1024 desktop, but I'd rather have two 1280x1024 desktops.  How can I make this change?
[15:13] <Pendeta> skarface, but I had Kubuntu workstation installed before, and all worked fine.
[15:14] <cr_tmn_az_> u
[15:14] <skarface> Pendeta: well I've seen that happen with my nvidia card when the kernel upgraded and I had to reinstall the driver
[15:14] <sharperguy> ok how do I configure my epihpany java plugin to use alsa instead of oss?
[15:14] <amenado> epistax having a dual monitor, am curious as to what you have in /etc/gdm/custom.conf under  local [servers]  ?  can you paste please in pastebin?
[15:14]  * Vokabre think that ubuntu is better than ASP Linux 12 Carbon :)
[15:15] <jokoon> Hello, I just need the names of the things I have to add with synaptic to browse my bluetooth cellphone, and I also need some information on how connect my ubuntu on a NIS network (my class is wired with opensuse machines). Please :)
[15:15] <balle> how do i make a mount directory?
[15:15] <epistax> amenado: Sure, I actually haven't touched that file as no instructions I've read so far mentioned it... where's the pastebin though? :) Never used it
[15:15] <Pendeta> skarface, how do I reinstall the driver. I'm brand now to Linux, only been using it for a few months.
[15:15] <amenado> !pastebin | epistax
[15:15] <ubotu> epistax: 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)
[15:15] <skarface> Pendeta: depends on the graphics card ;)
[15:16] <epistax> amenado: Thanks a bunch.  I don't have a custom conf though, just the gdm conf
[15:16] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. I'll find out and report back.
[15:16] <bazhang> an_droid: best to do it in channel as I really am bad at this and others can correct my mistakes ;]
[15:16] <balle> how do i make a mount directory?
[15:16] <amenado> epistax let me check..hang for a sec
[15:17] <epistax> amenado: OOh there is a gdm.conf-custom
[15:17] <amenado> epistax-> perhaps gdm.conf-custom
[15:17] <bartmon> balle: Any empty directory works
[15:17] <epistax> hehe sorry one sec
[15:17] <amenado> epistax its okay..take your time
[15:17] <balle> bartmon: ehm, what is an empty directory?
[15:17] <epistax> amenado: there is no content, just a header comment block and some headers
[15:18] <_ba> would it be a waste of time to try and load ubuntu on a latop 700mhz 128mb of ram would performance be any worse then windows?
[15:18] <bartmon> balle: A directory without subdirectories or files
[15:18] <bazhang> _ba: any way to up the ram on that?
[15:18] <bartmon> balle: The easiest way is to create a new directory (or folder) anywhere you like
[15:19] <balle> bartmon: so i could do sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdag /media
[15:19] <an_droid> bazhang,ok
[15:19] <_ba> i doubt it this lappy is is pretty old toshiba satellite s353 and if i could prob be be expensive
[15:20] <an_droid> amenado, Im not sure. I am quite new to this and trying to understand it as best I can.
[15:20] <_ba> because i just put in the boot cd to load the installer and it taking ages to even start the install
[15:20] <bartmon> balle: first do "sudo mkdir /media/windows" and then "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda9 /media/windows/"
[15:20] <an_droid> bazhang, ok
[15:20] <bazhang> _ba: if you dont want gnome you could probably do it; fluxbuntu might be an alternative for so little ram
[15:20] <balle> Bartmon: it doesnt matter that it's not actually a windows installation? but just the ntfs file system?
[15:22] <epistax> amenado: I'm browsing the forums now concerning gdm configuration and dual monitor..
[15:22] <sjovan> balle: have you set up fstab?
[15:22] <balle> sjovan: i do not know what fstab is
[15:22] <chazco> Anyone know why Ubuntu-docs takes hours to install?
[15:22] <bazhang> chazco: really that long?
[15:23] <amenado> epistax okay, i was looking around the system for gdm related stuff too
[15:23] <balle> sjovan: but i dont think i have to force mount it anymore, the partition appears to be fixed
[15:23] <chazco> On the desktop PC yep
[15:23] <bartmon> balle: Yes. Mount just cares how the data is organised on a partition, that is why you must use the option -t <filesystem-type>
[15:23] <chazco> Laptop (has more RAM, slightly faster CPU) takes about 10-15 mintues though
[15:23] <Kennie`> Hi, I'm trying to use i8kutils.. but for some reason I get a fatal error when doing modprobe i8k... anyone got any idea why?

[15:24] <JarG0n> how do you invoke filename completion in the terminal?
[15:24] <skarface> chazco: probably, it's in beta, but you'll find yourself doing a lot of updates on hardy as well until it's finalized
[15:24] <bazhang> tic^: #ubuntu+1 please
[15:25] <chazco> Ah, so not much help there either. Internet isnt up to this...

[15:25] <chazco> Thanks skarface :)
[15:25] <mark__> JarGOn: press tab
[15:25] <epistax> amenado: Maybe it's an issue of Xinerama versus twin view.. I initially used xinerama, couldn't figure it out, tried twinview, couldn't figure it out, but maybe I'll look for docs for them..

[15:26] <DeadLy_sp> devilspie not work on Xfce4 ????
[15:26] <amenado> epistax yes, probably related to those two as they control the display on duals
[15:26] <bartmon> balle: Then the filesystem is already mounted!
[15:26] <RioMerc> Would anyone care to offer an idea as to why my perfectly configured after many hours of tinkering video drivers just decided to explode in my face and revert to crap-tacular state?
[15:26] <RioMerc> And perhaps why my external HD refuses to mount
[15:26] <JarG0n> mark__> ok, it worked, but it came up with several \'s that confused me.
[15:27] <chazco> heh... sudo timed out while ubuntu-docs was updated... script didnt like that
[15:27] <epistax> amenado: then again what we're talking about does sound like a gdm thing. I think what I'm trying to do is cut my workspaces down to 1280x1024, and have them independently selectable on each display... is that crazy?
[15:27] <amenado> RioMerc-> after you perfectly configure - you save a copy of your xorg.conf right?
[15:27] <bartmon> balle: ry browsing through the /media folder and see if the filesystem is already accessible in a folder there
[15:27] <Cubexombi> can someone explain what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to get tv-out on my laptop going, so far it looks like it should work, but the TV's display is skewed *like porn on cable*
[15:27] <RioMerc> amenado: There should theoretically be one, yes
[15:27] <mark__> JarGOn: the \ is an escape character, it gets put int front of spaces so that the terminal doesnt mistake the next word as a new command
[15:27] <alexq> Hi, I've got an problem with the pidgin. Im using the Jabber, IRC and Gadu-Gadu network's, but it crashes. Where do I get an error-log from it and why it's crashing? The windows are going dark (it's an effect of the crash, yeah?) I've tried to reinstall it through the Synaptic. Ill try to reinstall the libpurple. Can anybody help me with it? I love this communicator
[15:28] <Pendeta> skarface, the video card is built into the motherboard, which is an Asus P5GC-MX.
[15:28] <amenado> epistax supposedly, i read that somewhere, where you can set different resolution in the [servers]  by specifying another [server-newres] and would then be selectable..but i cant find my notes on that
[15:28] <skarface> Pendeta: intel I guess?
[15:28] <chazco> How much do Ubuntu-restricted-extras and Kubuntu-restricted-extras overlap? Is it safe to install both? (I have Kaffeine installed for OGM, DVB and DVD support)
[15:29] <amenado> RioMerc-> try to revert to the saved copy to recover?
[15:29] <Pendeta> skarface, yes.
[15:29] <RioMerc> At a glance, the backup appears to be the same as the current
[15:29] <skarface> Pendeta: I don't know, I've only seen that with the binary nvidia drivers... you could try reconfiguring xorg
[15:29] <RioMerc> Yes, both of them
[15:29] <amenado> RioMerc-> you can diff, they are just text file..so it will tell you the diff if any
[15:30] <epistax> amenado: I've been hacking at my xorg.conf a lot lately.. It's not so scary anymore... I can set up different resolutions on each monitor, but it'll "meta" the resolutions into being the same and still extend the desktop
[15:30] <alexq> Hi, I've got an problem with the pidgin. Im using the Jabber, IRC and Gadu-Gadu network's, but it crashes. Where do I get an error-log from it and why it's crashing? The windows are going dark (it's an effect of the crash, yeah?) I've tried to reinstall it through the Synaptic. Ill try to reinstall the libpurple. Can anybody help me with it? I love this communicator
[15:30] <RioMerc> Diff?
[15:30] <RioMerc> Is that a terminal command?
[15:30] <RioMerc> Nevermind, found out myself :)
[15:30] <skarface> Pendeta: ...which is done with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:31] <amenado> epistax-> you are much more advance than me on finding what makes that xorg.conf work...im still reading stuff..
[15:31] <MattJ> alexq: If the windows go dark then it means it isn't responding
[15:31] <epistax> amenado: I think all I discovered is it has nothing to do with xorg.conf hehe
[15:31] <chazco> Anyone know if v4l is going to be backported from Hardy? My DVB adapter works out-of-the-box on Hardy, but on Gusty requires a custom compile of v4l-dvb and firmware...
[15:31] <alexq> MattJ: Thanks... But what shall I do?
[15:31] <MattJ> alexq: It could be doing something (in which case, wait), or it may be stuck (in which case close it)
[15:31] <RioMerc> Heh
[15:31] <fragged> Mhm can anybody recommend me a decent piece of software for remote desktop connection management? gnome-rdp fails on vnc connections :S
[15:31] <RioMerc> A single difference
[15:32] <MattJ> alexq: Not sure, try #pidgin
[15:32] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. I'll try that.
[15:32] <maghetto> ciao ciao e buona pasqua
[15:32] <alexq> MattJ: It sometimes does something and returns, but it also sometimes not.
[15:33] <maghetto> avrei 2 domande da fare..la prima..
[15:33] <MattJ> alexq: Any idea what it is doing? Maybe it is having trouble accessing the network at that time?
[15:33] <balle> i seem to have a problem playing some audio tracks, i am using the VLC player
[15:33] <Nate> Can anyone advise on sound issues w/Gusty?  I'm using a laptop w/HD sound.  I can hear, but it is extremely low.
[15:33] <maghetto> esiste un modo per non dover scrivere ogni volta la striga di configurazione del nik???

[15:34] <an_droid> I am so confused, would anyone be willing to talk me through setting up my ad-hoc connection for internet connection sharing?
[15:34] <maghetto> whatt?
[15:34] <MattJ> maghetto: #ubuntu-es
[15:35] <amenado> fragged-> after you ssh in with -C -X options, did you try  gnome-session  ?
[15:35] <antonio_> list
[15:35] <amenado> epistax what files controls that? out of my curiosity
[15:35] <maghetto> nessuno mi risp!!
[15:36] <bazhang> maghetto: english here please
[15:36] <epistax> amenado: controls what, TwinView versus the other? That's actually in xorg.conf
[15:36] <DoubleAW> about when will 8.04 come out?
[15:36] <an_droid>  sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "private-network_000" mode Ad-Hoc key s:xxxxxxxx is that supposed to be ath0 (for atheros) or is that where i put the device name of the internet connection?
[15:36] <DoubleAW> around next week?
[15:36] <bazhang> late april DoubleAW
[15:37] <maghetto> ok..but italian
[15:37] <MattJ> DoubleAW: 24th April

[15:37] <fragged> amenado, remote connections and tunneling X through a SSH session are different. I'm talking about a program that will manage MANY connections over MANY different protocols (VNC + SSH essential, RDP is a plus)
[15:37] <amenado> epistax-> that controls those indepent resolutions you were seeking
[15:37] <MattJ> Sorry maghetto :P
[15:37] <[SAFC]stevec_> Now listening to:Return Of Inspiration by Supergrass on Diamond Hoo Ha
[15:37] <balle> i cant get sound out of the vlc player, i'm trying to play some mp3's...
[15:37] <[SAFC]stevec_> oops sorry!
[15:37] <maghetto> ok thats
[15:37] <kinglet_> hi all
[15:37] <bazhang> prego
[15:38] <antonio_> list
[15:38] <cdrick_> #wormux-fr
[15:38] <amenado> fragged-> i dont know then
[15:38] <an_droid> bazhang, still confused as to how that guide works.
[15:38] <balle> i cant get sound out of the vlc player, i'm trying to play some mp3's... anybody knows what's up?
[15:38] <epistax> amenado: Ah well that depends on whether you use twin view or the other.. err that is, it's in the xorg.conf either way.  If you use twin view (nvidia only), it goes under "Metamodes" in the video device section
[15:38] <kinglet> hi all
[15:38] <an_droid> bazhang, which "other device" am i supposed to list?
[15:38] <swhitt> I'm having problems installing rmagick. I have libmagick9-dev ruby1.8-dev installed but when I do a 'sudo gem install rmagick' I still get Can't install RMagick 2.2.2. You must have ImageMagick 6.3.0 or later.
[15:38] <Pendeta> skarface, I get a message saying "x-server-xorg is not installed" because the file doesn't exist.
[15:39] <MattJ> balle: Does it give an error message?
[15:39] <skarface> Pendeta: there's your problem...
[15:39] <epistax> amenado: I'm going to restart X, I just tried something.  If I don't break anything I'll brb
[15:39] <amenado> epistax-> i dont have the capabilities to go dual monitor, so i cant really test the feature..
[15:39] <skarface> Pendeta: er it's xserver-xorg... not x-server
[15:40] <antonio_> list
[15:40] <balle> MattJ: none and i just installed it
[15:40] <bazhang> an_droid: to create wireless network using wifi card in your pc (that is connected via ethernet) to share internet--eth0 will be typically that though you have to check
[15:40] <MattJ> antonio_: Why do you keep saying 'list'?
[15:40] <squid0> antonio, you need to type a forward slash before a command to the server
[15:40] <Unknown-Boy> Hi all, is there anything like /etc/conf.d/net (gentoo) in ubuntu?
[15:40] <squid0> that is, antonio_ : ^
[15:40] <epistax> Okay I'm not dead yet
[15:40] <MattJ> balle: Do MP3s play in other programs?
[15:40] <an_droid> bazhang, apologies for sounding so confused but I generally am :-D
[15:41] <epistax> And I made a partial accomplishment
[15:41] <jrib> Unknown-Boy: what is it supposed to do?
[15:41] <amenado> epistax-> what did you accomplished?
[15:41] <balle> MAttJ: i have only tried in the native one, and it wanted to install some codecs so i skipped that...
[15:41] <an_droid> bazhang,thanks wasnt sure.. i think I understand the concept now ;-)
[15:41] <MattJ> balle: Right
[15:41] <Unknown-Boy> jrib: I want to config pppoe manually

[15:41] <ubotu> balle: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[15:41] <epistax> amenado: My LCD, which is technically the second screen because the VGA initializes first, is now my primary screen
[15:41] <an_droid> bazhang, what command do i type to check?
[15:41] <Pendeta> skarface, also before that I noticed that several line under "Loading AppArmor profiles" there is a line that says, "*Setting sensor limits...  [fail}"
[15:42] <MattJ> balle: Follow the instructions in the link, and see if it helps
[15:42] <amenado> epistax-> cool, you were able to switch them around
[15:42] <bazhang> an_droid: it took me an intensive two weeks to learn networking (without irc) so a quick fix here without reading up on the basics here just wont happen imo; you are welcome to try however ;]
[15:42] <balle> MAttj; the first one or what?
[15:42] <an_droid> :-)
[15:42] <MattJ> balle: Yes
[15:42] <epistax> amenado:  they still share a workspace though.  This might not be an easy thing to do!
[15:42] <balle> doing... thx
[15:42] <soto> Is writing with ntfs-3g considered safe?
[15:43] <amenado> epistax-> yah, darn X is so complex..
[15:43] <sinbox> soto: safe as in?
[15:43] <soto> sinbox: Will I be able to read out the same data I wrote in reliably?
[15:43] <jrib> Unknown-Boy: no idea, but ask that next time.  Here's the ubotu link, see if it mentions what you want:
[15:43] <jrib> !pppoe > unknown-boy (read the private message from ubotu)
[15:43] <an_droid> bazhang, what command do i use to find out if my internet is on eth0 or eth1 etc ? lspci?
[15:43] <Unknown-Boy> jrib: thanks
[15:43] <bazhang> an_droid: yes
[15:43] <soto> an_droid: Try ifconfig
[15:43] <balle> MattJ: it says that it cant fin the package?
[15:44] <balle> finD
[15:44] <sinbox> works for me here but I haven't tried pluging the drives into a windows box soto
[15:45] <an_droid> bazhang, do you think you might be able to understand better if i do a paste bin?
[15:45] <an_droid> bazhang, thanks soto, that gave me more information.
[15:45] <amenado> an_droid-> you not going to find out that way easily, you can have both sides in the non-internet-routable ip address range but still could not tell of the bat which is connected to the internet.
[15:45] <Pendeta> skarface, is there any way to install xserver-xorg besides using aptitude?
[15:45] <MattJ> balle: What version of Ubuntu?
[15:45] <amenado> an_droid-> you have to do some tracing to which gateway it goes out of
[15:45] <balle> MattJ: latest
[15:46] <skarface> Pendeta: are you sure it isn't installed? it looks like you issued the command wrong.
[15:46] <balle> MattJ: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras this won't work in my terminal
[15:46] <MattJ> Hmm
[15:46] <skarface> Pendeta: how did you install KDE exactly?
[15:46] <KE_AMI> heloo any body
[15:46] <an_droid> amenado, Im not sure if I fully understand what you are talking about, I am very new to this and that sounds complicated. I only have one device providing internet to my computer.
[15:47] <kop> meanwhile the stoned ranger not so cleverly disguised as an inept and confused slackware luser makes his way into the realm of Ubuntu with out a single clue as to what he is doing . Updates as they happen , film at 11:00 ...
[15:47] <MetAtroN> hello
[15:47] <KE_AMI> how to get it ububntu new vertion CD
[15:47] <squid0> balle: have you enabled the non-main repositories? that might be necessary
[15:47] <cdrick_> #ubuntu-fr
[15:47] <amenado> an_droid the best thing is draw your network layout, label which box is which, and paste it in pastebin -- then we can advise you of, of what you wanted to achieve
[15:48] <amenado> an_droid-> also it would help if you put which ip address each interface have
[15:48] <LazyAngel> Anyone knows fwbuilder? I get a permission denied in /etc :(
[15:48] <an_droid> amenado, how do i check wich ip address each interface has?
[15:48] <amenado> LazyAngel-> im not familiar with it, but are you using sudo or as root to make changes?
[15:49] <an_droid> I seem to have accidentally configured my wifi card to have ip address 192.168.0.1
[15:49] <kop> backup / , /usr , /var , all /home (try not to miss the symlinks this time ) any others ?
[15:49] <amenado> an_droid  ifconfig for ethernet, iwconfig for wireless
[15:49] <MetAtroN> could you tell me which Ubuntu should I get if I want to install it on PS3?
[15:49] <LazyAngel> amenado: i dn't have aa root account. i use my own account. but the docs says it should use sudo automaticly...
[15:49] <mkjackson> Hey folks, was just wondering if anyone can suggest to me how I can access files on my windows box over the network from my 'buntu box...
[15:49] <amenado> LazyAngel-> what command you typed exactly?
[15:49] <cha0s> hi, i have a question about the 'date' command. why is it rejecting 'CST' as my timezone?
[15:50] <ikonia> MetAtroN: you need a PPC version, I advise you that it will not be worth the effort
[15:50] <bazhang> http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html an_droid you might tell amenado about this link
[15:50] <mkjackson> since I can't just put //192.168.1.2/c$ like on my prev box
[15:50] <LazyAngel> mkjackson: search for samba howtos
[15:50] <kop> mkjackson, samba
[15:50] <Pendeta> skarface, under Uninstalled Packages in aptitude there is a choice for x11. But it is not able to install gwenview for some reason.
[15:50] <mkjackson> samba 'ey?  cool, thx
[15:50] <an_droid> amenado, I will try to put all information in pastebin for you.
[15:50] <amenado> bazhang-> am not sure if he wanted to make his wifi card acting as AP, thats a bit difficult to do, his driver has to support it
[15:50] <kop> I know I'm forgetting something ...
[15:51] <MetAtroN> whant do you mean? that I shouldnt bother installing it?
[15:51] <CONVERGE> .cd
[15:51] <skarface> Pendeta: okay? I don't really have time to continue
[15:51] <amenado> bazhang-> thats why it always help me troubleshoot if they put up a layout of the network...easier to comprehend
[15:51] <bazhang> amenado: right I agree; and just getting an ap would be simpler with such a rudimentary knowledge of networking, but he wants what he wants ;]
[15:51] <kop> probably some obscure ritual or incantation ...
[15:51] <ikonia> MetAtroN: there is a very limited set of functions for it
[15:51] <LazyAngel> mkjackson: "sudo apt-get install samba" and then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf (read howtos to edit it the way you want)
[15:52] <Pendeta> skarface, ok. Thanks for your time so far. I appreciate it much.
[15:52] <amenado> bazhang yep
[15:52] <jkonami> hey guys, I'm having a weird problem with my titlebars.. looks like the spacing of the text, icons, and buttons (like minimize and so forth) are really spread far and some of the text is being truncated as a result.  Plus, I get no buttons whatsoever, actually, I just assume they are there and I can't seem them
[15:52] <MetAtroN> hmm, is there any other linux I should consider?
[15:52] <jkonami> also, compiz is turned off
[15:52] <cha0s> hi, i have a question about the 'date' command. why is it rejecting 'CST' as my timezone?
[15:52] <MetAtroN> I heard about Yellow Dog...
[15:52] <woland> hi. does hardy herron support iwl4965 wireless on the install disk?
[15:53] <ikonia> MetAtroN: the PS3 is pretty restricted due to the user of the hypervisor, so again, not really worth the effort
[15:53] <aoupi> cha0s: you don't mean CEST?
[15:53] <ikonia> woland: join #ubuntu+1
[15:53] <ikonia> woland: also there are docs listed in the topic in #ubuntu+1
[15:53] <aoupi> cha0s: n/m me :)
[15:53] <Dex-Freudii> my wi-fi is not working properly
[15:54] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> i heard that here often..hehe
[15:54] <kop> MetAtroN, one that doesn't hate you
[15:54] <cha0s> lol, I set CEST and it changed to CDT
[15:54] <Dex-Freudii> :(
[15:54] <MetAtroN> kop : what?
[15:54] <urlwolf> ok, I want to use the terminus fonts with gnome terminal; but it's not listed.The list for xfce terminal and gnome terminal are not even similar
[15:54] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> just curious, you are from uruguay?
[15:54] <urlwolf> I'm running xfce
[15:54] <SpaceAviator> My conky wont display at absolute top of the screen. It just display at like an inch below the top fo the screen even though i have aligned it as top_right any ideas?
[15:54] <Dex-Freudii> amenado: yep
[15:54] <ai3gtmc> hi
[15:54] <mokkpr01> exit
[15:54] <cha0s> :~/dev/fb/freebasic$ sudo date --set='Sun Mar 23 10:49:22 CEST 2008'
[15:54] <urlwolf> but want to use gnome terminal
[15:54] <kop> MetAtroN, pick a dist that doesn't hate you
[15:54] <jkonami> I tried searching around and there's a lot of different titlebar problems - so nailing the right search terms for my specific one is difficult
[15:55] <cha0s> Sun Mar 23 03:49:22 CDT 2008
[15:55] <urlwolf> where does gnome terminal look for its fonts?
[15:55] <cha0s> =(
[15:55] <ikonia> kop you said that - and no distro hates him, please keep it relevant
[15:55] <Dex-Freudii> amenado: you know uruguay?
[15:55] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> welcome to ubuntu, i have not meet anyone from uruguay before, only read some from newspaper
[15:55] <ai3gtmc> i get error user root does not exist when i try to open users and groups
[15:55] <LazyAngel> SpaceAviator: have you tried to adjust the offset?
[15:55] <cha0s> ai3gtmc: have you ever done 'sudo passwd root'?
[15:55] <ai3gtmc> and also when i run "su" i get Sorry.
[15:55] <MetAtroN> kop: doesn't hate me?
[15:55] <urlwolf> also, is there a terminus truetype font anywhere?
[15:55] <amenado> Dex-Freudii-> i dont know uruguay nor paraguay..hehe..just read stuff on the newspaper
[15:55] <ikonia> MetAtroN: please ignore kop's comments, I'm trying to expalin that the PS3 as a hardware platform is limited for "non-ps3" os
[15:55] <SpaceAviator> LazyAngel: shit! Lemme check
[15:55] <bazhang> kop please stop
[15:55] <ai3gtmc> cha0s ill try
[15:55] <ikonia> SpaceAviator: please mind your language
[15:56] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: ubuntu doesn't use "su"
[15:56] <ikonia> !sudo > ai3gtmc
[15:56] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: see the pm from ubotu
[15:56] <ai3gtmc> sudo: no passwd entry for root!
[15:56] <kop> MetAtroN, what I'm trying to say is you may be more comfortable in one distro than another , first what do you want it to do then what can you accept in it's shortcommings
[15:56] <cha0s> sudo set passwd root?
[15:56] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: what are you trying to do
[15:56] <jkonami> I used it all the time. 'sudo su'
[15:56] <SpaceAviator> ikonia: oh ok
[15:56] <cha0s> su does too work, at least on xubuntu
[15:56] <SpaceAviator> LazyAngel: yay! done!
[15:57] <cha0s> su - root
[15:57] <ikonia> SpaceAviator: thanks
[15:57] <ai3gtmc> i think the use got deleted
[15:57] <jetscreamer> omg anathema! leper outcast unclean! thou shalt not be root!
[15:57] <ikonia> cha0s: no, please don't advise that, plus it's wrong
[15:57] <jkonami> just type sudo su and your password and you're root
[15:57] <ai3gtmc> i want to enter users and group
[15:57] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: what are you trying to do
[15:57] <ikonia> jkonami: please don't advise that
[15:57] <cha0s> i was simply stating that it's possible
[15:57] <ai3gtmc> im using kubuntu
[15:57] <MetAtroN> ikonia: I just want to try it, will there be ubuntu that supports PS3 with its Cell ?
[15:57] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: and you want to create a user/group ?
[15:57] <jkonami> if he wanted root access, that's for him to decide!
[15:57] <SpaceAviator> ikonia: for?
[15:57] <ikonia> MetAtroN: the PPC version will support it
[15:57] <Dex-Freudii> I installed heron alpha-6 release... just with upgrades should I get beta release?
[15:57] <ai3gtmc> yes but i can't enter it
[15:58] <ikonia> SpaceAviator: responding on language
[15:58] <ai3gtmc> i get error user root does not exist when i try to open users and groups
[15:58] <ikonia> jkonami: not for us to recommend
[15:58] <SpaceAviator> ikonia: ah thats nothing, was just a bit quirky - too much coffee I guess
[15:58] <coernel> hay :)
[15:58] <cha0s> ai3gtmc: you tried 'sudo set passwd root'?
[15:58] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: "sudo useradd"
[15:58] <mkjackson> silly question, is there a way to reset keyboard shortcuts to their defaults?  (I accidentally set my backspace key to maximize among other silliness and would like to backtrack)
[15:58] <ikonia> cha0s: thats not a command
[15:58] <jkonami> well, I wasn't making a recommendation at all, just sharing info :)
[15:58] <MetAtroN> ikonia: could you direct me to download link? I can't find one
[15:58] <ikonia> cha0s: please stop saying things you don't know / understand
[15:58] <ai3gtmc> sudo: no passwd entry for root!
[15:58] <coernel> any1 can help me? got some questions
[15:59] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: what version of ubuntu are you using
[15:59] <coernel> about win xp / ubuntu
[15:59] <ikonia> MetAtroN: http://psubuntu.com/
[15:59] <cha0s> ikonia: thanks, i was making a Suggestion. You are free to mellow out now. Thanks in advance.
[15:59] <ikonia> cha0s: your not making suggestions your talking nonsense
[15:59] <ai3gtmc> Ubuntu 7.10 using xfce
[15:59] <kop> ikonia, sry didn't know ubuntu lacked humor
[15:59] <MetAtroN> ikonia: thanks a lot :)
[15:59] <LazyAngel> mkjackson: dunno, but the default maximise is alt+f10
[15:59] <poseidon> Where can I get the wubi installer for ubuntu Hardy Heron?
[15:59] <cha0s> "I appreciate your personal attacks on me, however I don't feel that it's appropriate.
[15:59] <ikonia> kop: it's a busy channel, it's for support only
[15:59] <peterbwoj> How do I change the theme in ubantu
[16:00] <bazhang> kop getting offtopic and you have been warned
[16:00] <ikonia> cha0s: I'm not making a personal attack, please stop saying commands that are invalid or wrong or dangerous
[16:00] <cha0s> I can't even test it now since I did the CEST date thing
[16:00] <ikonia> cha0s: so - don't say it
[16:00] <cha0s> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Mar 23 10:50:02 2008
[16:00] <ai3gtmc> hm...
[16:00] <cha0s> ikonia: Settle down dude seriously, loosen the collar or something.
[16:00] <Pendeta> coernel, just ask your question, and anyone knows the answer he will help you.
[16:01] <bazhang> !ot | cha0s
[16:01] <ubotu> cha0s: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:01] <ikonia> cha0s: I'm settled - just don't give out nonsense/dangerous advice
[16:01] <Dex-Freudii> I'm trying out the updated alpha-6, wireless did not work out of the box, downloaded all updates, then it picked up "new hardware", and installed b43-fwcutter. It looked like it was gonna work, i could see the networks, i selected mine but it hung on connecting and wouldn't connect.
[16:01] <LazyAngel> cha0s: easiest way to fix the timestamp error is to reboot
[16:01] <cha0s> i was only telling him to set a root password, which is the opposite of dangerous
[16:01] <ai3gtmc> i got this error after i installed virtualbox
[16:01] <nikrud> Dex-Freudii #ubuntu+1 handles hardy for now
[16:01] <bazhang> Dex-Freudii: #ubuntu+1 please
[16:01] <LazyAngel> cha0s: it happens if you adjust the time with a big gap
[16:01] <Dex-Freudii> ok
[16:01] <KrimZon> does anyone know how to preview usplash themes?
[16:02] <cha0s> LazyAngel: is there a hard way? :P
[16:02] <ikonia> cha0s use ntpdate
[16:02] <peterbwoj> Buddies. How do I change the theme in ubantu
[16:02] <mkjackson> thx LazyAngel!
[16:02] <ai3gtmc> ikonia but i before that i use sudo normally
[16:02] <jrib> cha0s: please just inform people of ubuntu's default policy by using the !root factoid.  If after being informed, the user still wants to enable root, then tell him.  Agreed?
[16:02] <peterbwoj> can somebody help a brother out
[16:02] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: apologies I missed your response, what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:02] <nikrud> peterbwoj isntall, or switch to one you've installed?
[16:03] <cha0s> jrib: what?
[16:03] <cha0s> !root
[16:03] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:03] <LazyAngel> cha0s: yes, you can delete a temprary file. search the ubuntuforum on the error message to find it
[16:03] <ai3gtmc> ikonia Ubuntu 7.10 using xfce
[16:03] <jrib> cha0s: sorry, which part is not clear?
[16:03] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: is there a "root" entry in /etc/passwd
[16:03] <jkonami> anyone have any weird titlebar issues like what I described earlier?  I'm stumped.
[16:03] <peterbwoj> whats the best version of ubantu?
[16:03] <ai3gtmc> how do i check that?
[16:03] <ikonia> jkonami 7.10 is the most recent
[16:03] <nikrud> peterbwoj any, they all have their strengths
[16:03] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: grep root /etc/passwd
[16:03] <slipttees> hey
[16:04] <cha0s> jrib: " please just inform people of ubuntu's default policy by using the !root factoid", then I tried it and now it's clear
[16:04] <bazhang> peterbwoj: the original ;]
[16:04] <nikrud> peterbwoj so, what is your issue with themes?
[16:04] <lilg111111> need help installing x11 mouse themes
[16:04] <slipttees> whoto totem-gstreamer+rmvb
[16:04] <slipttees> ?
[16:04] <ai3gtmc> ikonia nothing happens
[16:04] <nikrud> lilg111111 untar them into ~/.icons , create the dir if needed
[16:04] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: ok, so there is no root entry
[16:04] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: which ties in with your error
[16:04] <peterbwoj> I downloaded some themes but when i try to install them it doesnt  recongnize the theme.index file
[16:04] <ai3gtmc> ikonia: i see
[16:04] <peterbwoj> wont let me install it
[16:05] <ai3gtmc> ikonia: so how do i fix it?
[16:05] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: you have 2 options 1.) boot from teh cd and create a root user (I don't advise this at the m oment) 2.) reinstall and be more carefull in future
[16:05] <jkonami> ikonia: yep, I'm running 7.10.. and I haven't changed much and my titlebars are still funny.. for instance when I open up totem, it'll just say "tot" with no buttons
[16:05] <nikrud> peterbwoj hm, what themes? gtk? window decorator?
[16:05] <peterbwoj> and the terminal command  gnome-theme-manger doesnt work eaither
[16:05] <lilg111111> nikrud, how do you create the directory or find it, im a newbie
[16:05] <MetAtroN> ikonia: thanks for help, I'll give it a try
[16:05] <ai3gtmc> argh.. i dun wanna reinstall
[16:05] <ikonia> jkonami was that meant for me ?
[16:05] <ikonia> MetAtroN: welcome
[16:05] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: I strongly advise it as a best solution for your situation
[16:05] <jkonami> ikonia: you addressed me previously
[16:05] <amortvigil> does anyone know what settings ill have to use with avidemux to fit my creative zen?
[16:05] <MetAtroN> bye
[16:06] <ikonia> jkonami: did I, apologies must have been a typo on my part as I've not followed your issue
[16:06] <nikrud> lilg111111 ~ is a shortuct for your home directory, so that would be /home/username/.icons . You can create it with   mkdir  ~/.icons
[16:06] <jkonami> ikonia: that's ok. :)
[16:06] <amenado> peterbwoj-> look around /usr/share/gdm/themes before you install to get a sense of what is available now, and then compare that after you install to get a feel
[16:06] <ai3gtmc> ikonia: how do i create root using the cd? btw i don't have a 7.10 cd.. i don't have extra blank disk
[16:06] <slipttees> ?
[16:06] <LMJ> hi
[16:06] <ai3gtmc> ikonia: i only have 7.04
[16:06] <nikrud> peterbwoj you still haven't said what kind of them (that I've seen, anywy)
[16:07] <LazyAngel> noone using fwbuilder? :(
[16:07] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: you need to boot from a live cd and either update the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files manually, or chroot and create the users that way
[16:07]  * nikrud readjusts the laptop, trying for better typing)
[16:07] <ikonia> ai3gtmc: I strongly advise you to re-insall though
[16:07] <ai3gtmc> aww
[16:07] <ai3gtmc> ikonia: i see.. thanks anyway..
[16:08] <amenado> LazyAngel-> not i, what was the issue again?
[16:09] <LazyAngel> amenado: a permission denied when i try to install... i cn't find it in google either. b
[16:09] <KrimZon> does anyone know the name of that app that people preview usplash themes in? ive been googling for "previewer usplash theme" etc. but all i find are previews themselves, no sign of any app
[16:09] <cyclonut> LazyAngel, are you using sudo?
[16:09] <ikonia> KrimZon: use a vm as a test boot client
[16:09] <KalEl> does transmission torrent client support DHT?
[16:09] <amenado> LazyAngel-> what command did you type exactly?
[16:09] <towlie> i have a dual boot with os x and ubuntu. when im in ubuntu how do i write to my os x partition
[16:10] <nikrud> KalEl transmission isn't in 7.10, but it is in 8.04. The people in #ubuntu+1 would be better to ask
[16:10] <ikonia> towlie: you need to mount the HSFS file system's although I don't believe write support is stable
[16:10] <KalEl> ok
[16:10] <towlie> oh ok
[16:10] <an_droid> amenado,how do i add images to pastebin?
[16:10] <mjaniszewski2> how can i perform a <command> for each line of a file? `awk '{print $0 }'` does the job if there's only one line...
[16:10] <ikonia> mjaniszewski2: use a while loop
[16:11] <amenado> an_droid-> i dont know, does it have not choices for pasting an image?
[16:11] <lilg111111> nikrud, i created the folder now what
[16:11] <nikrud> lilg111111 were is the tar.gz file you downloaded located?
[16:11] <LazyAngel> amenado, cyclonut: its a gui for iptables. It uses ssh to the machine (in this case localhost) and tries to install. It should do sudo by itself
[16:11] <Stupid^Kid> my xfs and reiserfs partition have my block, when i startup the system , it tell me something NOT Clean, what can i do?
[16:11] <ikonia> subzero2000_: fsck it ?
[16:11] <an_droid> amenado,i dont think so.
[16:11] <mjaniszewski2> ikonia: set up something like a counter to enumerate lines and parse each with the format i've specified above? can awk do that? or should i use sth else?
[16:12] <lilg111111> nikrud, i put in inside the folder i created
[16:12] <ikonia> mjaniszewski2: what do you want to do, exactly
[16:12] <amenado> an_droid  sorry im not familiar with posting an image...lets ask people around, they may already know
[16:12] <towlie> ikonia, do i have to turn off journaling
[16:12] <cha0s> ikonia: I solved my date problem by typing 'su -root', entering the root password, and changing the date. Thanks.
[16:12] <an_droid> does anyone know how to post an image?
[16:12] <ikonia> towlie: I don't see why
[16:12] <cha0s> 'su - root'
[16:12] <amortvigil> who has a creative zen ?
[16:13] <amortvigil> and can help me add videos to it?
[16:13] <ikonia> cha0s: su - is the correct way to su, but sudo date would also have worked
[16:13] <mjaniszewski2> ikonia: i want to execute "<command> <lineN>" for each of N lines in file
[16:13] <ikonia> cha0s: using ntpdate or ntpd will keep your time in sync and stop it drifting again
[16:13] <nikrud> lilg111111 not a bad choice :)  ok, now     cd ~/.icons &&  tar xf <downloadedfile> .   After you do that, you will have a new dir in ~/.icons , and should be able to change the pointer in system->prefs->appearance Customize button, pointer tab
[16:13] <cha0s> sudo: timestamp too far in the future
[16:13] <amenado> mjaniszewski2-> you can do a  for  loop and inside the loop you do  that command
[16:13] <balle> i have no sound, even though i have enabled the restrcted extras, what else can be the problem?
[16:13] <ikonia> cha0s: ahhhh I see
[16:14] <an_droid> amenado, here is some of the hardware infomation http://pastebin.com/m6f18b5f4
[16:14] <ikonia> mjaniszewski2: you want a while loop something like for i in `cat file` do awk blah $i
[16:14] <ikonia> mjaniszewski2: the guys in #bash will be able to take it further if you want
[16:14] <balle> i have no sound, even though i have enabled the restrcted extras, what else can be the problem?
[16:14] <nathan42100> hey guys
[16:14] <mjaniszewski2> ikonia: thanks, i think i'll handle it from here
[16:15] <nathan42100> balle, this may seem stupid, but are you sure that you have the sound turned up in the ALSA settings?
[16:15] <an_droid> amenado, here is a diagram for you, I hope it helps.  http://www.suzao.net/diagram.png
[16:15] <amortvigil> will "sudo bash" work?
[16:15] <ikonia> amortvigil: work for what ?
[16:15] <nikrud> amortvigil yes, but sudo -i  is preferred
[16:15] <ikonia> amortvigil: what do you want to do
[16:15] <an_droid> amenado, to recap.. I am trying to get internet connection sharing working for my laptop using wireless ad-hoc mode
[16:15] <nathan42100> anyone try the 8.04 beta yet?
[16:15] <ikonia> nathan42100: many people, all hanging out in #ubuntu+1
[16:15] <nathan42100> k, thanks
[16:16] <amortvigil> ikonia nothing :P just had to ask it:P
[16:16] <nikrud> dang ikonia you stole my nearly exact words ;)
[16:16] <lilg111111> nikrud, you lost me what that stuff
[16:16] <an_droid> amenado,note: wifi card in laptop is 802.11 b/g
[16:16] <ikonia> ;)
[16:16] <balle> i have no sound, even though i have enabled the restrcted extras, what else can be the problem?
[16:16] <MathewC> Hello peoples.
[16:16] <rsk> my name a borat
[16:16] <rsk> hey mathew
[16:16] <MathewC> you likea ubuntu?
[16:16] <Lainy> Hi, I'm trying to configure irssi. Does anyone know what port I should set for /set dcc_port [port]? Any help appreciated. I had no success in the #irssi help channels.
[16:16] <rsk> sure
[16:17] <MathewC> I need help configureing xorg.conf(7.3) in Ubuntu 8.4 (beta)
[16:17] <ikonia> MathewC: join #ubuntu+1
[16:17] <bobbob1016> I have a uif file I want to burn, and I won't buy magiciso just to burn it.  I found this program to convert uif to iso, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion#uif2iso from searching the forums, but I don't know if I can trust it, I'm a bit uneasy about installing things that aren't in the repos.  Is linuxquestions trust-able?
[16:17] <MathewC> the new xorg is a small config
[16:17] <MathewC> basically says "configured"
[16:17] <ikonia> MathewC: it's dynamic
[16:17] <MathewC> so I don'
[16:17] <an_droid> bazhang, here is a diagram http://www.suzao.net/diagram.png
[16:17] <ikonia> MathewC: join #ubuntu+1
[16:17] <balle> i have no sound, even though i have enabled the restrcted extras, what else can be the problem?
[16:17] <MathewC> I can't enable compiz-fusion until go down to 16 bit
[16:17] <nikrud> lilg111111 ok, what that does (in apps->accessories->terminal)  is: first, it changes directories (cd ~/.icons) to where you put the tar.gz . the next (&&) checks to make sure the change directory succeeded, and if it does extracts (tar xf) the file you downloaded.
[16:17] <nathan42100> can you do remote sharing balle?
[16:18] <MathewC> color depth
[16:18] <ikonia> MathewC: ubuntu+1 supports 8.04
[16:18] <MathewC> alrighty
[16:18] <nanito> can anyone help me figure this error when updating: /var/cache/apt/archives/libots0_0.4.2+cvs.2004.02.20-1.1build1_i386.deb (--unpack):  files list file for package `libots0' is missing final newline
[16:18] <amenado> an_droid-> why would you want to share another trhough your laptop (laptop acting as AP?) ?  share with whom? another laptop?
[16:18] <slipttees> heloo
[16:18] <lartza_> how can i install xlibs-dev?
[16:18] <an_droid> amenado, I have tried to configure the pc (futuretech) to have the right settings but I think i put in the wrong card name during the configuration.
[16:18] <ikonia> lartza_: apt-cache search xorg-devel
[16:18] <fbc> How do you defragment a fat32 partition?
[16:18] <cyclonut> balle: make sure you sliders arent muted
[16:18] <balle> i have no sound, even though i have enabled the restrcted extras, what else can be the problem?
[16:18] <ikonia> fbc: use windows
[16:18] <lartza_> thx
[16:18] <an_droid> amenado, no, I dont want to share through my laptop I want to share through my PC.
[16:19] <lartza_> no output
[16:19] <fbc> ikonia, I don't have windows
[16:19] <ikonia> fbc: then you can't
[16:19] <Franky_the_Pier> hi, i used to have dual boot, but i got rid of the windows hard drive, now only have 1 hard drive with ubuntu on it...  thing is the boot sector was on the windows drive (i think...?), not it doesn't boot ubuntu at all...  what can i do?
[16:19] <ikonia> fbc: fat/ntfs/etc uses closed source tools
[16:19] <lartza_> had to take the el off
[16:19] <ikonia> fbc: what actually is the problem
[16:19] <nathan42100> wwoooaaaahhh, never do vnc viewer on your own desktop....
[16:19] <balle> cyclonut: my sliders? it's on my labtop speakers for starters and using VLC
[16:19] <fbc> ikonia, This is an external 500gb fat32 drive whos performance is diminishing..
[16:19] <an_droid> amenado, Its the other way around, I want the laptop to be able to get wireless access from the PC.
[16:20] <MathewC> fbc, there are windows live CDs you can use to do this
[16:20] <ikonia> fbc move it to a linux file system, or put the external disk in a windows machine
[16:20] <nikrud> Franky_the_Pier you need to rewrite /boot/grub/menu.lst , /etc/fstab , and rewrite the mbr . You can use the live cd
[16:20] <slipttees> i can't run rmvb in totem-gstreamer, Leaving only Sound, Video don't work. Someone help me?
[16:20] <fbc> MathewC, like barts boot pe?
[16:20] <slipttees> wont*
[16:20] <nathan42100> balle, go to private chat
[16:21] <Franky_the_Pier> nikrud: ok thx it try that
[16:21] <amenado> an_droid you probably can, now you have to do several things....one is to make that atheros to become an AP, adhoc may work but am not sure if its reliable, dole out an ip address to the laptop via the wireless, so you have to run a dhcp server on the desktop
[16:21] <nikrud> Franky_the_Pier just be sure you're doing the changes on the hard drive, not in the live cd stuff ;)
[16:22] <zippytech> i mount at boot from fstap like this //192.168.3.5/MyVideos /var/lib/mythtv/videos smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777  0    0 any reason why only root can the the files?
[16:22] <amenado> an_droid then set up the masquerading, forwarding, dns services for the laptop to use..
[16:22] <Franky_the_Pier> nikrud: ya thx!  hehe.
[16:22] <an_droid> amenado, what is the first step to make a DHCP server on the desktop?
[16:22] <nanito> how do I fix this error? "files list file for package `libots0' is missing final newline"
[16:22] <nathan42100> balle, http://linux.iuplog.com/default.asp?item=94639
[16:23] <ryrys> fbc, FAT32 does not support HDDs of that size :/
[16:23] <amenado> an_droid-> you have to download the dhcp server app... google for how to do that..i dont have the info on top of my head
[16:23] <slipttees> yo

[16:28] <jrib> nanito: ok, first, what happens when you run this command: sudo aptitude reinstall libots0
[16:29] <ryrys> mohi, and if that works, start with mysql....
[16:29] <nanito> jrib: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libots0_0.4.2+cvs.2004.02.20-1.1build1_i386.deb (--unpack): files list file for package `libots0' is missing final newline
[16:29] <jrib> New2Linux: you always want to use Add/Remove programs in your menu to install things (or System -> Administration -> Synaptic).  If you enable the Universe Repository, foobillard will be available to you in those programs
[16:29] <jetscreamer> New2Linux: make sure you install it to /usr/local/somewhere not under /
[16:30] <jrib> nanito: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/libots0.list
[16:30] <jetscreamer> but what he said, foobillard is in sources
[16:30] <zelrikriando> hey I have an issue with my wacom intuos 3
[16:31] <zelrikriando> somebody can help me?
[16:31] <jrib> zelrikriando: best to just state the issue and find out
[16:31] <nanito> jrib: it's all garbled, not human readable
[16:31] <cyclonut> New2Linux, you'll need to install alien
[16:31] <cyclonut> New2Linux, you could open a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install alien"
[16:31] <jrib> cyclonut: no he doesn't...
[16:31] <zelrikriando> jrib: my stylet isnt working, that is I cant "click" with it...I have to push hard on the pad to just make the pointer move
[16:32] <nanito> jrib: do you want the paste anyway?
[16:32] <jrib> zelrikriando: address the channel, I don't know anything about tablets
[16:32] <cyclonut> jrib, its always been an easier way for me to get RPMs going
[16:32] <Lainy> Hello, in order to setup a dcc port, I was told that I needed to know what port I forwarded on my router. I don't know what a router is or if I ever set one up. So how do I find this port? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
[16:32] <jrib> nanito: nah
[16:32] <amenado> hazard-> your friend has an AP?
[16:32] <cyclonut> jrib, and it seems easier than having him configure/make it, no?
[16:32] <jrib> cyclonut: easier to break your system as well.  No, APT is much easier
[16:33] <cyclonut> jrib...for an application that probably is not in the repositories?
[16:33] <Stepa1> I was wondering how I can clean up my Applications menu (I tried to install a Lexmark printer and when i uninstalled everything seemed to be removed from the wine (c:/) drive, but there are still menu options there listed under "Other".  Also, with wine, when i uninstall some programs, the menus are still left under "Wine>Programs"
[16:33] <jrib> cyclonut: it is in the repositories
[16:33] <noober> nickrud, there was an error and my internet access no longer works on ubuntu now.
[16:33] <mohi> ryrys: all of these depends on libapache2-mod-php5 but this package cant be sonfigured :
[16:33] <mohi> Can't call method "description" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 93, <GEN0> line 1.
[16:33] <akumar_> hola tritium
[16:34] <cyclonut> jrib, thats what I get for not looking
[16:34] <jrib> nanito: have you recently turned off your computer without shutting down?
[16:34] <amenado> hazard-> your friend has an AP?
[16:34] <cyclonut> in that case
[16:34] <nanito> jrib: do I nuke the file you sid?
[16:34] <jrib> cyclonut: :)
[16:34] <cyclonut> new2linux: you still with us? if so, "sudo apt-get install foobillard"
[16:34] <nanito> jrib: blackout yesterday
[16:34] <dwarder> how to go in back direction with screen?
[16:35] <dwarder> ctrl-a n
[16:35] <dwarder> but backward
[16:35] <Stepa1> How can I clean up my Applications menu (some uninstalled items are still here)
[16:35] <an__droid> hello
[16:35] <saschahl> dwarder: ctrl-a p
[16:35] <Lainy> dwarder: C-a C-p
[16:35] <dwarder> thank you
[16:35] <an__droid> nickrud: there was an error and now my internet no longer works on ubuntu
[16:35] <nikrud> Stepa1 right click the menu, choose edit
[16:36] <amenado> an_droid-> also why not have your laptop associate with the senao  AP directly? its much much better AP than most, including what you got on your desktop
[16:36] <an__droid> amenado, there was an error and internet no longer works on ubuntu?
[16:36] <jrib> nanito: hmm, that must be why.  I don't know what the best course of action is, since other files may be messed up.  Anyway, you can replace *that* file with: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60746/ .  Did ubuntu run fsck when you booted up?
[16:36] <nikrud> an__droid sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server cut off your internet?
[16:36] <amenado> an_droid-> what did you do?
[16:36] <an__droid> nikrud: I dont know.. but its not working any more.
[16:36] <nanito> jrib: I don't think so
[16:37] <an__droid> amenado: i typed what nickrud told me to
[16:37] <Stepa1> nikrud: Thanks, but also one more thing, I though these items were uninstalled, so by unchecking them, I am not really removing them from my system
[16:37] <amenado> an_droid-> you can chat with us now, so you do have an internet access..
[16:37] <david> anyone know of a testingtool for Wifi such as thisone , but for ubuntu? http://www.airmagnet.com/products/spectrum_analyzer/
[16:37] <nikrud> Stepa1 correct. You're simply marking the menu items as not displayed
[16:37] <Jax> Can anyone help me?
[16:37] <amenado> an_droid-> that should not cause it to disconnect you from internet access
[16:37] <an__droid> amenado, yes I do .. what I meant was.. internet was disconnected on my ubuntu machine.
[16:37] <jrib> nanito: if you do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot, it should
[16:37] <dthacker> !anyone | jax
[16:37] <ubotu> jax: 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?
[16:37] <david> I suppose I'll have to get the proper HW :B
[16:38] <an__droid> amenado, I have two machines involved, 1 my pc, 2 the laptop.
[16:38] <nanito> jrib: is there a way for me to manually do the fsck
[16:38] <Stepa1> nikrud: Would you happen to know of a way to track the source of where the left over file is so i can fully remove it?
[16:38] <napii> Email issue; am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[16:38] <amenado> an__droid-> thats why you have to be more precise with what you explain, its hard to follow through...
[16:38] <al> im trying to install an emerald theme in gutsy, but it doesn't work
[16:38] <nikrud> Stepa1 it might be in either ~/.local/share/applications (ends in .desktop)  or /usr/share/applications (less likely. If the desktop file is there, it's probably a bug)
[16:38] <al> it imports the theme, but won't apply it
[16:38] <al> any thoughts ?
[16:39] <amenado> an__droid-> on the desktop you can retry to  ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
[16:39] <Jax> I'm using XChat 2.8.4 and I need to install something called libnotify to get the balloons to work.  Can anyone help me with this?
[16:39] <jrib> nanito: oops, let me check that
[16:39] <thesurvivorman> sometimes it works if you reload the window manager
[16:39] <Karamon> Hello, I'm having trouble understanding how to configure my Samsung SyncMaster 216BW, I've done some fruitless google searching, any suggestions?
[16:39] <nanito> jrib: I've copied your paste to /var/lib/dpkg/info/libots0.list
[16:39] <Stepa1> nikrud: Okay, ill check it out (the reason why i think this happened is because i tried to install some windows programs and when uninstalling it left them behind
[16:39] <jrib> nanito: nevermind, the /forcefsck should work as I said
[16:40] <an__droid> amenado, i rebooted my linux machine and it seems to be working again (internet)
[16:40] <nanito> jrib: do I reinstall libots0??
[16:40] <amenado> an__droid-> thats another way too..
[16:40] <jrib> nanito: ok, replacing libots0.list should at least stop dpkg from complaining about that.  Sure, why not
[16:40] <dthacker> Jax: go here http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search contents of packages to find the one you need to install
[16:40] <an__droid> amenado: ok, how do i start the dhcp server?
[16:40] <al> how do u mean reload ?
[16:40] <amenado> an__droid-> is it installed?
[16:40] <nikrud> Stepa1 how wine and desktop icons work together, I have no clue. Don't use wine, but the ~/.local seems most likely then
[16:40] <al> how do i restart emerald ?
[16:40] <Jax> dthacker, thanks man
[16:40] <an__droid> amenado: I have installed it from the instructions given by nikrud but it failed to auto start
[16:41] <nikrud> al alt-f2 emerald --replace
[16:41] <al> i restarted the computer, bu nothing changes
[16:41] <amenado> an__droid-> re-install it to make sure it really got installed..
[16:41] <al> emerald --replace gives me a theme i never installed
[16:41] <al> something red
[16:41] <nikrud> al then system->prefs->emerald
[16:41] <an__droid> nikrud, whats the name of that program again dhcp3?
[16:41] <nikrud> an__droid  dhcp3-server
[16:41] <al> ok
[16:41] <Stepa1> nikrud: thanks for all your help, by deleting them from the folder, they removed from the list
[16:42] <amenado> an__droid-> then you have to configure it first before starting it..you have to decide which ip address you dole out to the client, dns server and such..
[16:42] <amenado> an__droid-> please do a tutorial on how to setup a dhcp server..
[16:42] <an__droid> amenado: it says the package is already the newest version
[16:42] <stanny> how do you configure a laptop to display full size resolution mine insists on making it smaller than it should be.
[16:42] <stanny> ?
[16:43] <bo-dick> how do i write a .sh script in ubuntu?
[16:43] <jrib> bo-dick: same as any other distro
[16:43] <bo-dick> jrib: why do i get access denied messages all the time?
[16:43] <nanito> jrib: looks like my system is hosed, same error now with esound-common :'(
[16:43] <jrib> bo-dick: what are you doing exactly?
[16:43] <robobob> Hi
[16:43] <jetscreamer> bo-dick: /join #bash
[16:43] <amenado> bo-dick you dont have the correct permission
[16:43] <bo-dick> jrib: i wanna write a batch file
[16:44] <bo-dick> jrib: that runs a bunch of command line commands
[16:44] <orkun> can gstreamer/totem have anything to do with firefox's flash streaming output?
[16:44] <jrib> bo-dick: you got an error right?  What exactly did you do to get the error?
[16:44] <stanny> any ideas on full screen resolution ?
[16:44] <robobob> When i start up my gutsy its doesnt do anything after loading boot scripts(local.rc)
[16:44] <napii> Is the source available for pastebin.ubuntu.com ?
[16:44] <robobob> i recently changed gfx driver
[16:44] <bo-dick> jrib: tried to execute the .sh file
[16:44] <cyclonut> bo-dick, create a file, then set it to executable.
[16:44] <an__droid> amenado: is this the kind of guide you wanted me to look at ? http://howtoforge.com/dhcp_server_linux_debian_sarge
[16:44] <zybil> hello pls how do i generate a video file (animated gif also ok, mpg or avi) out of 5399 PNG-files??
[16:44] <jrib> bo-dick: you need to be more specific.  You need to paste *exactly* the commands you are using
[16:45] <stanny> well how i can i get full screen resolution  in ubuntu ?
[16:45] <Kimeras> Is there anyway to spawn an application onto another desk at startup?
[16:45] <bo-dick> jrib: ok
[16:45] <amenado> an__droid-> if its a tutorial on setting up dhcp ---  yes..
[16:45] <jrib> orkun: I don't see how
[16:45] <bo-dick> jrib: well first i create a file called test.sh
[16:45] <deephan> you can do it using an image manipulation program like GIMP or photoshop
[16:45] <evilbug> hey.
[16:45] <jrib> nanito: let fsck do its thing and see what happens
[16:45] <an__droid> amenado: Quote: please make sure you don't already have another one in your LAN as this might result in conflicts.
[16:46] <nanito> jrib: I'll be back in a while, thanks
[16:46] <bo-dick> jrib: then the script should begin with #!/bin/sh
[16:46] <stanny> i want full screen resolution?
[16:46] <an__droid> amenado: i think this might cause conflicts with internet router as it uses dhcp to assign the addresses to my lan connected pcs
[16:46] <amenado> an__droid-> correct, and once more..why dont you just use the SENAO AP instead of creating your own?
[16:46] <jrib> !fixres > stanny (read the private message from ubotu)
[16:46] <an__droid> amenado: perhaps static ip would be easier
[16:46] <maghetto> where ubuntu#italian?
[16:46] <amenado> an__droid-> this is where we suggested to you to learn tcp/ip do some tutorials, you need to understand sub-netting
[16:47] <an__droid> amenado: excuse me.. i diddnt see the first time you said i should use the senao ap.
[16:47] <robobob> hi i recently changed graphics driver and now wen i start ubunutu up it just says loading boot scripts and doesnt do anythign else can any1 help
[16:47] <nanito> maghetto: #ubuntu-it maybe
[16:47] <maghetto> thats
[16:47] <orkun> there is an error where firefox and flash only play 2 seconds of vid and have no sound. if i scroll forward 2 seconds it stops again. "felt" like this was being caused by gstreamer/totem since last time i only used firefox and totem before
[16:47] <amenado> an_droid-> also why not have your laptop associate with the senao  AP directly? its much much better AP than most, including what you got on your desktop
[16:47] <zybil> deephan: every PNG singularly? with 5399 files that would mean days
[16:47] <an__droid> amenado: 1. I dont have access to the senao radio. It is configured by the ISP. 2. The radio is out of range for the laptop 3. the senao radio is not configured as an AP for security reasons.
[16:48] <amenado> an__droid-> ask the ISP tech to configure it for you then..
[16:48] <buttweed> good luck on htat
[16:48] <buttweed> that*
[16:48] <macogw> zybil: have fun
[16:48] <an__droid> Thanks for your help amenado.
[16:48] <buttweed> most isp techs can't figure out how to turn on the damn computers
[16:48] <amenado> an__droid-> SENAO is the one of the best AP i know of
[16:48] <BCMM> can someone help me get wake-on-lan working on my Ubuntu server?
[16:49] <joshua__> how do you use file sharing to a computer that isn't on the same network as you?
[16:49] <amenado> buttweed-> its too obvious..hehehe
[16:49] <BCMM> it's enabled in the BIOS but i think i need to do something with the driver...
[16:49] <volkodav> does opera beta 9.5 supports 64 bit?
[16:49] <ikonia> volkodav: look if it's in the 64bit repo
[16:49] <ikonia> BCMM: it's in the bios - enable it
[16:49] <BCMM> ikonia: done that
[16:50] <ikonia> BCMM: are you using suspend/hibernate on the server ?
[16:50] <BCMM> ikonia: no
, <jetscreamer> & <cyclonut> Thank you for the instructions.
[16:50] <epistax> yay I figured it out
[16:50] <BCMM> ikonia: just "sudo halt"
[16:50] <joshua__> I need some help with file sharing to a pc thats not on the same network as I am on
[16:50] <ikonia> BCMM: halt is shutdown
[16:50] <jrib> bo-dick: ok, so you have a file called test.sh.  Make it executable with 'chmod +x test.sh'.  Then run it with ./test.sh
[16:50] <amenado> epistax-> what was it?
[16:50] <buttweed> amenado: i think its hilirious when i call up and ask them a question about the tcp/ip stacks and linux. normally the line gets all quiet for like 5 minutes then they are all like what is tcp/ip and is linux some networking program for windows?
[16:50] <BCMM> ikonia: i know
[16:50] <ikonia> BCMM: you can't wake from shut down
[16:50] <BCMM> ikonia: oh, what can you wake from?
[16:50] <ikonia> BCMM: thats "power on lan"
[16:51] <ikonia> BCMM: wake from hibernate
[16:51] <BCMM> ikonia: well i think it's called wake on lan anyway
[16:51] <volkodav> ikonia - I do not see it in the repos Do I need to add some?
[16:51] <amenado> buttweed-> it could be that they call it differently in hindu -- <smirk>  tech support from india? hehe
[16:51] <ikonia> volkodav: are you using amd64 ubuntu
[16:51] <epistax> amenado: It was actually in the xorg.conf.  I let nvidia-settings edit it, and I tweaked the results.  I'm now running two separate x sessions, one for each monitor.  There's overhead, but I get the desired result
[16:51] <volkodav> yes
[16:51] <ikonia> BCMM: well, you can't wake from halt
[16:51] <BCMM> ikonia: well whatever you call the state of being powered down, my other machine running xp can be woken up over the network after shutting down
[16:51] <ikonia> volkodav: apt-cache search opera
[16:51] <joy_> volkodav I wrote you
[16:51] <BCMM> ikonia: what is the linux equivalent?
[16:51] <joy_> already about opera 64bit
[16:51] <ikonia> BCMM: there isn't one
[16:51] <ikonia> BCMM: it doesn't matter about OS
[16:52] <ikonia> BCMM: thats the bios that does that
[16:52] <amenado> epistax-> congrats,  can you kindly paste your xorg.conf configs  so I may use it as reference next time i get a chance?
[16:52] <BCMM> ikonia: i don't understand
[16:52] <ikonia> BCMM: clear
[16:52] <epistax> amenado: Yep give me a min
[16:52] <ikonia> BCMM: your machines have to have been booted and "paused" or hibernated to be woke. You can't wake a shutdown machine
[16:52] <volkodav> joy_ wrote where?
[16:52] <BCMM> ikonia: my XP machine can be shut down, using hte "turn off" button, and then turned on from the network. how would i do that in linux?
[16:52] <Kimeras> Is there anyway to spawn an application onto another desk at start up?
[16:52] <BCMM> ikonia: sorry, we aren't talkign about the same thing
[16:52] <ikonia> BCMM: yes we are
[16:53] <BCMM> ikonia: you can actually do that on a bios which supports it
[16:53] <ikonia> BCMM: if your machines are powered off, there is no OS to respond to a lan connectio to wake
[16:53] <roentgen> Hey, my console is blank when using vga=0x318 or 315 with Ubuntu Hardy. Anyone knows how to solve it?
[16:53] <ikonia> BCMM: if it's not working - it's a bios issue
[16:53] <BCMM> ikonia: it's not the OS which responds
[16:53] <DeadLy_sp> How can configure my mx510 on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[16:53] <BCMM> ikonia: it's the bios
[16:53] <ikonia> BCMM: if you are trying to wake from suspended - then thats the OS
[16:53] <ikonia> BCMM: exactly !
[16:53] <BCMM> ikonia: also, the network driver must enable it before the system halts
[16:53] <orkun> roentgen, i think i have the same issue
[16:53] <orkun> roentgen, 5 minutes ago i just restored grub defaults to "see" again
[16:54] <GullyFoyle> wake-on-LAN is a BIOS feature ususally
[16:54] <roentgen> orkun: google seems unhelpful so far
[16:54] <GullyFoyle> from suspend
[16:54] <ikonia> GullyFoyle: correct
[16:54] <BCMM> i am not talking about somethign when the OS is already running
[16:54] <CJS3141> In a terminal when I go to "/home/john/.local/share/applications/" I get a different file list then if I browse to it using the File Browser--in the terminal I get a bunch of .desktop files, whereas the File Browser doesn't show these--what am I missing here?
[16:54] <orkun> roentgen, do you see a blinking cursor in the console?
[16:54] <BCMM> i am talking about a BIOS feature where hte machine is powered off but the network card remains on waiting
[16:54] <orkun> roentgen, or simply nothing?
[16:54] <roentgen> orkun: yeah
[16:55] <rbil> CJS3141: show hidden files
[16:55] <BCMM> for a broadcast packet with it's MAC address in it
[16:55] <roentgen> orkun: a blinking cursor
[16:55] <zelrikriando> I just broke my xorg.conf....great
[16:55] <BCMM> it's not the same thing as resume from suspend
[16:55] <rbil> all . (dot) files/directories are hidden
[16:55] <BCMM> can someone who has heard of WOL advise me please?
[16:55] <CJS3141> rbil: I have show hidden files on in my File Browser--any other ideas?
[16:55] <smuggle> hello all!
[16:55] <orkun> roentgen, i did not even restart yet. can't you undo it? or do you want a better resolution than 640x480? maybe we should talk in #ubuntu+1
[16:55] <zelrikriando> can somebody help me repairing my xorg?
[16:55] <ikonia> BCMM: I've heard on WOL many times
[16:55] <amenado> CJS3141-> believe what you see when you type ls -la
[16:56] <sinnus> When I unplug then plug network cable ethernet connection is lost. What should I do to reconfigure eth0 interface every time when cable unplug / plug?
[16:56] <volkodav> hmm - ikonia says no caqndidate
[16:56] <BCMM> ikonia: i do not mean resume from suspend, ok?
[16:56] <volkodav> beta 9.5 from their site works
[16:56] <CJS3141> amenado: yes, I believe "ls -la", so how do I get my File Browser to show the same thing?
[16:56] <volkodav> not sure it is 64 bit though
[16:56] <ikonia> BCMM: I understand that, but what you are aksing for should not be anything to do with the OS
[16:56] <smuggle> I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Beta. I have a litte problem with the nvidia driver..
[16:56] <amenado> sinnus-> why do you want to manually just unplug the cable?
[16:56] <ikonia> smuggle: join #ubuntu+1 for 8.04 help
[16:56] <BCMM> ikonia: i know that
[16:56] <thesurvivorman> it is not 32bit
[16:56] <Cpudan80> sinnus: ifconfig eth0 down ---- ifconfig eth0 up
[16:57] <ikonia> BCMM: ok - so it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:57] <BCMM> ikonia: the problem is that some network cards can have the feature disabled through the driver
[16:57] <rbil> CJS3141: just checked and you're absolutely correct. Never noticed that before.
[16:57] <sinnus> amenado, automatically
[16:57] <macogw> amenado: because s/he's moving a laptop from one room to another?
[16:57] <epistax> amenado: pasted.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60752/
[16:57] <amenado> CJS3141-> i think someone already suggested to show hidden files..
[16:57] <BCMM> ikonia: it remains disabled across reboots till it is enabled again
[16:57] <killown> how I do to get gnome 2.22 on apt-get?
[16:57] <ikonia> BCMM if there is no OS loaded, how can it be anything to do with the driver
[16:57] <sinnus> I have found this solution: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/#overview
[16:57] <ikonia> killown: you don't
[16:57] <ikonia> killown: ubuntu will make updates available when possible
[16:57] <buttweed> some dummy down the block burned his house down last night. seems he trying to figure out if it was water or gas in his gas can. lit a match and peered in with it.... I think dante himself would have called the fire department
[16:57] <killown> hm
[16:57] <CJS3141> amenado: Yes, and rbil has the same thing happening.
[16:57] <ikonia> !offtopic | buttweed
[16:57] <BCMM> ikonia: see above. each card has it's own way to enable and disable WOL, and remembers it's state across reboots
[16:57] <amenado> sinnus what do you mean automatically? automatically unplugging it?
[16:57] <ubotu> buttweed: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:58] <macogw> buttweed: O_O
[16:58] <amenado> macogw.. i agre :)
[16:58] <ikonia> BCMM: again - this is nothing to do with the OS.
[16:58] <sinnus> automatically reconfigure network
[16:58] <BCMM> ikonia: you aren't even reading my messages
[16:58]  * davidw is getting very regular hard kernel locks with the stock 2.6.22 :-(  
[16:58] <joy_> volkodav in private chat
[16:58] <ikonia> BCMM: I am
[16:58] <sinnus> When I unplug / plug cable network is unavailable
[16:58] <rbil> CJS3141: .desktop is an extension, no?
[16:58] <davidw> sysrq isn't even working, as far as I can tell
[16:58] <amenado> epistax-> thanks, i will keep a copy for references
[16:58] <nanito> jrib: bad news
[16:58] <davidw> any ideas about how to debug it?
[16:59] <davidw> modules I can load to catch things, or something?
[16:59] <amenado> sinnus-> umm is it dhcp configured?
[16:59] <mattias_> shared folders
[16:59] <sinnus> amenado, no
[16:59] <BCMM> ikonia: well, in most cases a network card needs to be told to enable WOL, by the driver, before the system halts
[16:59] <an_droid> bazhang, I have gone through the steps given here http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html what now?
[16:59] <epistax> amenado: It might be an nvidia only solution, I can't really tell
[16:59] <BCMM> ikonia: unfortunately, my driver does not support it
[16:59] <ikonia> BCMM: there you go then, not going to happen
[16:59] <amenado> epistax-> its good enuff for references, knowing it works
[16:59] <nanito> jrib: I've got a bunch of "multiply claimed blocks" what now :(
[16:59] <an_droid> bazhang, the 'device that connects my other computers to the network' in this case would be the wireless card on my main pc right?
[16:59] <BCMM> ikonia: so i am trying to find out if there is another way to turn it on or another driver
[16:59] <sinnus> amenado, after unplug / plug I should do ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0
[16:59] <CJS3141> rbil: yes, I meant there are a bunch of files with a .desktop extension... sorry I wasn't clear. So how do I view them in the File Browser?
[16:59] <BCMM> ikonia: ok?
[17:00] <epistax> amenado: thanks for the genuine attempt at helping hehe. Im ottah here :)
[17:00] <ikonia> BCMM: the drivers are in the kernel, if your driver doesn't support it (which you seem to suggest it doesn't) you can't do it
[17:00] <rbil> CJS3141: they show up fine here with Nautilus
[17:00] <ikonia> BCMM: contact the card vendor  perhaps
[17:00] <amenado> sinnus-> you should really do a ifdown eth0 before unplugging and then ifup eth0 after plugging
[17:00] <acu> i am trying to convert a real media video (rm) to a mpeg4 format - I try using 3GPWiz - however at the end of encoding I get movie.avi: I/O error occured  Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted_  Can anyone help me - is anyother program which can do this conversion (so I can see the movies with smartphone Centro) ?
[17:00] <macogw> sinnus: is this on gutsy?
[17:00] <amenado> epistax-> have a nice beautiful easter day
[17:00] <BCMM> ikonia: no, drivers can be added which are not in hte kernel
[17:00]  * slipttees Away - Out to Lunch
[17:00] <zippytech> mount error 13 = Permission denied any ever see this on mount?
[17:00] <epistax> :) you too
[17:00]  * davidw suspects usbserial as the culprit
[17:00] <ikonia> BCMM: they can be, but only if they exist, contact the manufacturer
[17:00] <macogw> amenado: there's a bug in gutsy where it doesnt recognize that a cable was plugged in. it's fixed in hardy
[17:01] <sinnus> macogw, yes
[17:01] <mattias_> i like to share files that i have on muy ubuntu 7.10 computers external hd with windows computers connected to the wireless lan how can i share files
[17:01] <thesurvivorman> CJS3141: in nautilus hit control-h
[17:01] <CJS3141> rbil: I'm a ubuntu newbie--what exactly is Nautilus? is it the same as the File Browser
[17:01] <Juhaz> you haven't even mentioned what card it is, kind of relevant, for driver issues, don't you think? also, you're wrong, "most cards" do not need driver support, very few do.
[17:01] <nanito> jrib: how that happen? is my HD defective?
[17:01] <amenado> macogw-> oh, okay, i have not experience it because i dont do such unplugging an ethernet card ... heh
[17:01] <zippytech> vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
[17:01] <rbil> CJS3141: yes, file browser for gnome based Ubuntu
[17:01] <jrib> nanito: it's probably a result of the blackout you mentioned
[17:01] <macogw> sinnus: known bug, fixed in next month's release
[17:02] <an_droid> can anyone please help me with this guide: http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html
[17:02] <rbil> CJS3141: nautilus doesn't show the file extension .desktop as those are special files, but they do showup without the extension being displayed
[17:02] <sinnus> macogw, Could you get me link for that bug?
[17:02] <nich0s> HHHHEEEEYYYY!!! :)
[17:02] <ikonia> nich0s: do you have a support question ?
[17:03] <Krozy> Does anyone here have experience using loop-aes?
[17:03] <mattias_> what programs is needed to be installed to enable file sharing between linux and windows
[17:03] <ikonia> Krozy: loop-aes ?
[17:03] <senorpedro> hi folks
[17:03] <ikonia> mattias_: samba
[17:03] <macogw> sinnus: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/148630
[17:03] <CJS3141> rbil: OK...  But I would prefer to see files with their extensions, exactly as they are on the disk, and as I would see them with ls -al. so how would I do this?
[17:03] <macogw> sinnus: i titled it as after wireless is used, but wireless being used would be "it's unplugged" :P
[17:04] <amenado> mattias_-> also nfs
[17:04] <Krozy> ikonia: Trying to determine the best way to compile a kernel with loop-aes, that i'll run on a usb stick
[17:04] <rbil> CJS3141: don't think u can do that with nautilus, as those are really definitions of launchers
[17:04] <sinnus> macogw, I don't use network-manager. I turned off it
[17:04] <bazhang> an_droid: uh this is a pretty technical issue; I did say earlier that it took me two weeks of intensive reading before I got to know a bit of networking; not sure that I can walk you through and explain all the details in this venue--best to read up and try some things and then if you have issues you can ask more informed opinions about setting up what is really a not so easy set up
[17:04] <mattias_> all samab applications os is there an guide how to on the internet ...
[17:04] <ikonia> Krozy: you'll have to patch your kernel for that
[17:04] <amenado> an_droid-> i gave you the steps earlier, you lost it?
[17:05] <ikonia> Krozy: you could try to patch the ubuntu source package
[17:05] <macogw> sinnus: oh :/ well nothing was actually manually done to NM for that bug, as far as i know...it was just "hey umm it works now" and then the bug was closed
[17:05] <Krozy> ikonia: should I get the latest kernel from kernel.org, or use the source with ubuntu 7.10 ?
[17:05] <buttweed> is there a command that i can use with the ubuntu/mint installer on a live cd to have it repair the current install instead of doing a clean format and reinstall?
[17:05] <ikonia> Krozy: depends, are you tyring to boot ubuntu ?
[17:05] <CJS3141> rbil: Hmmm... well if that's the best it will do I will live with it. Thanks for the help. :-)
[17:05] <Krozy> ikonia: yes
[17:05] <macogw> sinnus: so it could very easily have been some underlying thing not registering the event to pass it to NM
[17:05] <ikonia> Krozy: use the ubuntu source then
[17:06] <macogw> sinnus: NM is where i saw the evidence of it and where i filed it
[17:06] <Krozy> ikonia: maybe thats a better question, what is the difference between source from kernel.org and that with ubuntu ?
[17:06] <rbil> CJS3141: maybe some other gui file browser will work as you want? haven't checked
[17:06] <Infernalord> Hello everyone, I need someone to help me please
[17:06] <aliljet> ugh, i'm getting owned by this error .. i recorded the sequence here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 ... any ideas?
[17:06] <amenado> an__droid-> btw that link you posted, has a misnomer, bridging  eth0-eth1  no where in the steps you see it bridges nics, it does forward not but not bridging.. bridging will have a  brX interfaces
[17:06] <ikonia> Krozy: ubuntu have some patches applied
[17:06] <ikonia> Krozy: in reality there is not that much difference.
[17:07] <sinnus> macogw, NW doesn't support pppoe and I turend off it
[17:07] <nathan42100> dell sales people are SO stupid
[17:07] <ikonia> nathan42100: that is nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:07] <CJS3141> rbil: good idea--do you know of any other ones? I guess I could search synaptic.
[17:07] <macogw> sinnus: i think it has a plugin for it
[17:07] <Krozy> ikonia: ah. makes sense. thanks
[17:07] <nathan42100> ikonia, yes it does
[17:07] <cs02rm0> can someone give me an example of using the at command to do an ls now?
[17:07] <bazhang> nathan42100: not nice to call names here thanks and offtopic
[17:07] <macogw> sinnus: network-manager-pptp
[17:07] <sinnus> macogw, In the future
[17:07] <david> anyone to recommend an application to scane wlan channel usage and noise?
[17:07] <nathan42100> Dell sells ubuntu pcs
[17:07] <sinnus> macogw, pppoe
[17:07] <ikonia> nathan42100: no it doesn't, this is a support channel only
[17:07] <nathan42100> ok
[17:07] <nathan42100> sorry
[17:07] <nathan42100> I thought it was just general ubuntu chat
[17:08] <ikonia> Krozy super, keep in mind that if you use a later than current ubuntu kernel, it may have consiquences on some of the packages (another reason I said use the ubuntu source package)
[17:08] <[SAFC]stevec_> david: kismet maybe?
[17:08] <ikonia> nathan42100: type "/topic"
[17:08] <kazaLite> hi all. how can i un-install dhcp3-server?
[17:08] <jrib> nathan42100: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for that, feel free to join that
[17:08] <nathan42100> woops, sorry
[17:08] <GullyFoyle> !topic
[17:08] <ubotu> Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[17:08] <macogw> sinnus: but i mean i think maybe something lower down....like hal maybe....wasnt noticing it being plugged in, so thats why youre having trouble and why i had trouble with nm (because nm gets its info from hal), but now thats fixed
[17:08] <rbil> CJS3141: maybe gnome-commander    which is a gui version of midnight commander?
[17:08] <LordDiabolus> sudo aptitude remove dhcpd
[17:08] <ikonia> kazaLite: sudo apt-get remove dhcp3-server
[17:08] <kazaLite> great
[17:08] <david> [SAFC]stevec_: I'll have a look thank you
[17:08] <Infernalord> can anyone help me fixing dualboot please? I had windows installed, then I installed ubuntu, but when I reboot my pc, grub does not appear, it goes right to windows...
[17:08] <sinnus> macogw, I see, thanx
[17:08] <Krozy> ikonia: what version of the kernel is hardy heron shipping with ?
[17:09] <CJS3141> rbil: thanks, I'll check it out...
[17:09] <rbil> CJS3141: installing it now and will let u know
[17:09] <macogw> Krozy: 2.6.24
[17:09] <ikonia> Infernalord: looks like ubuntu did not install the grub boot sector on the mbr of the boot disk
[17:09] <bazhang> Krozy: #ubuntu+1 please thanks
[17:09] <ikonia> !grub > Infernalord
[17:09] <ikonia> Infernalord: see the link from ubotu
[17:09] <Infernalord> ok i will read
[17:09] <ikonia> Krozy: there you go, good advice there
[17:09] <Infernalord> thank you
[17:09] <pimplife> help me ubuntu wont install on my pc
[17:09] <amenado> macogw-> am even surprised that you dont get a system freeze, i get that when any i/o interrupt fault.. it faults because the interrupt on nic being removed/plugged and somehow didnt get serviced correctly
[17:09] <ikonia> pimplife: what's the problem
[17:10] <rbil> CJS3141: yes, gnome-commander will display the extensions
[17:10] <pimplife> on the live cd the resolution and on the alternate cd it gets stuck on resizing partions
[17:10] <shem> offtopic... can anyone tell me an irc channel to go to, or answer this.... Where can I find how to acquire or install a visible googlebot counter on a webpage?
[17:10] <CJS3141> internalord: I had the same problem and just modified my /boot/grub/menu.lst problem to make it work
[17:11] <CJS3141> rbil: hey thanks--I'll give it a try!
[17:11] <bazhang> www.google.com shem ;]
[17:11] <ikonia> shem: you know it's off topic - so don't ask
[17:11] <pimplife> ikonia: so can u help me
[17:11] <macogw> amenado: i get system freezes only when the broken hard drive circuit city used to replace my broken hard drive misreads something important
[17:11] <rbil> CJS3141: after install it'll show up in Applications --> Accessories menu
[17:11] <zelrikriando> who has an wacom intuos 3 here?
[17:12] <ikonia> pimplife: how long did you wait when it was "stuck"
[17:12] <pimplife> like 20 mins
[17:12] <ikonia> pimplife: how big is the disk ?
[17:12] <CJS3141> rbil: thanks... I'm going to try it now..
[17:12] <wabash> Hi, everyone. If I download a new version of ubu and burn to CD, will upgrade an older installation?
[17:12] <archman> hi, is it safe to enlarge ext3 partition (on which i run ubuntu) with acronis disk director suite?
[17:12] <pimplife> 320gb
[17:12] <ikonia> archman: it's never "safe" but the risk is lower
[17:13] <ikonia> pimplife: I'd sit around for a lot longer than 20 minutes, more so if it's re-sizing
[17:13] <pimplife> but i only choose 76.77gb
[17:13] <ikonia> pimplife: but the disk is still 320
[17:13] <shem> ikonia: right, typical expected answer. thanks for the help
[17:13] <ikonia> pimplife: its the overall disk size
[17:13] <archman> ikonia: what software for that do you recommend?
[17:13] <ikonia> shem: then why ask ?
[17:13] <svu> where is gtkbuilder in hardy?
[17:13] <ikonia> archman: I don't recommend resizing disks, it's never without risk. People have good opinions of gparted that I've read
[17:14] <ikonia> svu: join #ubuntu+1
[17:14] <shem> sorry.  came for some help. not an arguement
[17:14] <archman> ikonia: i have backed up with remastersys
[17:14] <nikrud> archman are you resizing a vista partition?
[17:14] <alsadk> how can i know the size of ram?
[17:14] <flyback> what's the command again when I just want to shutdown the desktop and x for good and leave just my ssh console going
[17:14] <gullstad> Hello. How can I get back the "main" window in amarok? I can just open the tiny player, and I cant see any button for goin back.
[17:14] <pimplife> ikonia: if i resize will it mess up my vista
[17:14] <ikonia> archman: then that reduces the risk
[17:14] <flyback> thought it was to stop the gdm process but that's not working
[17:14] <CJS3141> rbil: just out of curiousity, if I like it better than nautilus, how do I make it my default file browser? Is there an easy way?
[17:14] <wabash> anyone here have experience upgrading?
[17:14] <ikonia> pimplife: possibley, but it shouldn't
[17:14] <ikonia> pimplife: there is always risk when resizing
[17:15] <nikrud> pimplife vista has it's own resize tool, use that to resize before installing
[17:15] <archman> nikrud: shrinking xp part. and enlarging ext3 (ubuntu)
[17:15] <bobbob1016> I have a uif file I want to burn, and I won't buy magiciso just to burn it.  I found this program to convert uif to iso, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion#uif2iso from searching the forums, but I don't know if I can trust it, I'm a bit uneasy about installing things that aren't in the repos.  Is linuxquestions trust-able?
[17:15] <gullstad> Nevermind :P
[17:15] <Kimeras> Is there anyway to spawn an application onto another desk at start up?
[17:15] <nikrud> archman ah. Well, i agree with ikonia about resizing myself. Had a bad experience
[17:15] <rbil> CJS3141: gnome desktop itself uses Nautilus, so I don't know what you mean?
[17:15] <pimplife> nikrud: i did but on the alternate cd u can only choose the hdd not partions
[17:16] <zeke> Hi, I'd like some help installing a sql server.
[17:16] <bazhang> gullstad: try hit the pl button for playlist
[17:16] <ikonia> zeke: wha sort of sql server ?
[17:16] <spork969> in the applications menu at the top of the screen, is there a way for me to move an application from one menu to another?
[17:16] <archman> nikrud: it was no problem resizing ntfs, but never tried ext3; anyone tried?
[17:16] <nikrud> pimplife hoo, use manul partitioning. You can get as precise about partitions as you like
[17:16] <zeke> pl/sql would be best.
[17:16] <nikrud> *manual
[17:16] <ikonia> archman: yes, as I said, there is ALWAYS a risk with resizing
[17:16] <ikonia> zeke: pl/sql is language not a server
[17:17] <pimplife> nikrud: what u mean
[17:17] <CJS3141> rbil: Oh I see... I just tried it out. Yes, it does seem to work well
[17:17] <ikonia> zeke: what server product do you want to install
[17:17] <zeke> I'd like postgre sql then.
[17:17] <Kimeras> Well, i was thinking more like a command for starting a application, such as Pidgin -desk2, so it spawns on the second desk
[17:17] <nikrud> pimplife when you use the alternate install disk, the very last option in the partitioning is 'manual' . Use that, you can assign partitions very precisely
[17:17] <ikonia> zeke: open synaptic package manager, look down the list or search for postgres, click install
[17:17] <mattias_> for file sharing in my wlan what components need to be installed, any page in particular that describet that ?
[17:17] <zeke> Cool
[17:17] <volkodav> seems there is no 64 bit opera?
[17:17] <svu> ikonia: thanks. it is nearly #ubuntu +0.01 now ;)
[17:17] <pimplife> oh ok thnx
[17:18] <ikonia> volkodav: is it in the repo  ?
[17:18] <volkodav> it pops up in apt-cache search but will say no candidate
[17:18] <ikonia> volkodav: ok, so it's not available from the ubuntu repo's at this time
[17:20] <volkodav> is there a 64 bit channel?
[17:20] <ikonia> volkodav: no
[17:20] <ikonia> volkodav: your in it
[17:20] <zeke> Whil I have you, may I ask how to get it to start at boot?
[17:20] <davidw> dammit.... the pile of crap crashed again
[17:20] <ikonia> davidw: thanks for the pointless comment, do you want help yes/no ?
[17:20] <fr0nk_> does anyone use vmware workstation 6.5?
[17:20] <gullstad> I was wondering one thing. I just mounted 2 samba directoryes, but when I restarted then were gone. Is there a way to automaticly mount on startup?
[17:20] <fr0nk_> (beta)
[17:20] <davidw> ikonia, sure
[17:20] <ikonia> zeke: it will do auto
[17:20] <davidw> ikonia, see my comments from 15 minutes ago
[17:20] <ikonia> davidw: expalin the problem
[17:21] <ikonia> davidw: missed them sorry, any chance of a quick summary
[17:21] <amenado> Gullstad-> insert the entries into /etc/fstab
[17:21] <davidw> ikonia, hard freeze, sysrq doesn't do anything, my suspicious is usbserial because it's started doing it when I connect to the net via that
[17:21] <alsadk> how can i know the size of ram?
[17:21] <ikonia> davidw: wow, sysrq hung too
[17:21] <davidw> yeah
[17:21] <Gullstad> amenado: What do you mean?
[17:21] <ikonia> alsadk: loko in your bios, or do "free" or /proc/meminfo
[17:21] <ikonia> davidw: sysrq freeze normally = hardware
[17:21] <harm> Hey my software index is broken.. anyone know howto fix this?
[17:22] <ikonia> harm: expalin please.
[17:22] <davidw> ikonia, mmmm....:-/
[17:22] <ikonia> expalin
[17:22] <archman> alsadk: or in system monitor
[17:22] <harm> ikonia when i start update manager it says Software index is broken
[17:22] <rbil> alsadk: use the "free" command?
[17:22] <alsadk> i can't find it there
[17:22] <ikonia> harm: what does "sudo apt-get update" do
[17:22] <ikonia> alsadk: can't find what in where.
[17:22] <ikonia> alsadk: just look in the bios for the factual answer of what your machine can see
[17:22] <archman> alsadk: system tab
[17:23] <harm> ikonia: give me a bunch of Y/N/Q
[17:23] <ikonia> harm: hit y
[17:23] <amenado> Gullstad-> all file system mounted at boot appears in /etc/fstab  so if you add your nfs entries on /etc/fstab it should also get mounted on boot/reboot automatically
[17:23] <alsadk> i can't find ram size on system monitor
[17:23] <harm> ikonia: tried all that.. keeps going bad
[17:23] <ikonia> harm: define keeps going bad, we need more detail
[17:23] <davidw> ikonia, only other thing I can think of is that x and or the keyboard are for some reason locked, so I opened up a terminal that I'm going to leave open.....
[17:23] <ikonia> alsadk: use the bios to verify your ram
[17:24] <ikonia> davidw: seems a good way to check
[17:24] <alsadk> ok thx
[17:24] <ikonia> davidw: although even with x locked sysrq should respond to keyboard events
[17:24] <bakom> hello
[17:24] <mariocesar_bo> Hi, I am getting this error on boot "Kernel Panic. Not syncing: No Init found Try passing init= option to kernel"
[17:25] <amenado> mariocesar_bo-> all the time or one time?
[17:25] <mariocesar_bo> doing the recovery mode and the normal mode
[17:25] <mariocesar_bo> amenado: All the time
[17:25] <CJS3141> rbil: When gnome commander comes up it by default has two file browsing windows--do you know by chance how to change it to just one? or is it possible? I tried settings-> options but didn't find anything...
[17:25] <bakom> I've changed my fonts in X with a .Xdefaults file in my home dir... recently I deleted it and now I have a very strange font setting, not the default one... is there a way to get the default font setup?
[17:25] <davidw> it's been ages since I've had kernel crashes, let along un-sysrqable ones...and I'm getting them every few hours...
[17:25] <amenado> mariocesar_bo-> new install ? or you updated something?
[17:25] <nanito> jrib: do you know a way to regenerate the whole aptitude thing?
[17:25] <ikonia> davidw: what about net-dump, that maybe a way forward
[17:25] <harm> fixed it
[17:26] <nanito> jrib: should I just throw away myHD already?
[17:26] <rbil> CJS3141: not sure, just launched it minutes ago. I think dual pane is the default, and don't know if it can be forced to single pane
[17:26] <davidw> ikonia, well, we'll see - any idea about how to isolate / trigger hardware problems?
[17:26] <mariocesar_bo> amenado: I am with feisty since last year ... I do some upgrades, buth for apache2 and libc libraries...
[17:26] <ikonia> davidw: easier with a dump
[17:26] <ikonia> davidw: try unplugging the bit of kit you think is a problem
[17:26] <davidw> ikonia, laptop...
[17:26] <amenado> mariocesar_bo-> so this just happened recently, ie you get that kernel panic? can you try to use recovery mode? or use liveCD and fix it?
[17:26] <ikonia> davidw: disable it, maybe in bios
[17:27] <CJS3141> rbil: yes, :-) no big deal, anyway thanks for the help again... maybe I'll catch you again sometime :-)
[17:27] <idefix> why is the 'apt-get --reinstall install cupsys'-command undone whenever I restart my PC?
[17:27] <mariocesar_bo> amenado: Recovery mode jumps with the same error, I have a Live, but what I do to fix it?
[17:27] <orbisvicis> how do i manually apply the diff after downloading the source ?
[17:27] <davidw> hrm... we'll see I guess... I have a suspicion that it's this usbserial thing.... once I get back home I'll have wireless and we'll see if it still barfs this often
[17:27] <ikonia> orbisvicis: patch
[17:27] <ikonia> orbisvicis: man patch
[17:27] <ikonia> davidw: good call
[17:27] <alsadk> i install 2 ram's both 128 MB but it seems like it's only one "i used free command to verify the ram size" !!
[17:27] <ikonia> davidw: do checkout net-dump though
[17:28] <ikonia> alsadk: check in the bios
[17:28] <alsadk> thx
[17:28] <amenado> mariocesar_bo-> one, maybe you can do an fsck of those partitions?
[17:28] <ikonia> alsadk: stop saying thanks and "do it"
[17:29] <mariocesar_bo> amenado: so, is probably a disk corruption, or something like that?
[17:29] <amenado> mariocesar_bo-> most likely, maybe your hd is getting near its life cycle
[17:30] <orbisvicis> ikonia, what is a diff.gz  ?
[17:30] <orbisvicis> aka do i apply as it as or untar it first ?
[17:31] <Stepa1> I need to add a file to /usr/share/sane/gt68xx but i do not have permission.  I know i could do this through terminal, but i would rather do it visually.  I forgot the way, can anyone remind me?
[17:32] <Gullstad> Whats an nfs entery?
[17:32] <mariocesar_bo> menado: I don't think so ... Windows is booting normally, and the disk is nearly new ... :(
[17:32] <amenado> Gullstad-> what was the command you typed to mount the nfs ?  then put similar to your /etc/fstab
[17:33] <Gullstad> amenado: Oki. So just nano /etc/fstab and put it on the bottom of the file?
[17:33] <harm> Stepa1: a text file?
[17:33] <amenado> Gullstad-> in same format as those other entries in fstab off course, and yes put in the bottom
[17:33] <Stepa1> harm: a .usb file
[17:34] <legon> My Ubuntu krasches quit often. Everything stops, including mouse pointer and music. The only way is alt+scrprnt+reisub. Is there any nice crash logs to view? System >Ad ministation > System logs doesn't show anything interesting i think
[17:34] <Stepa1> harm: for my scanner
[17:34] <harm> Stepa1: Sorry dont know
[17:34] <Stepa1> harm: thanks anyway
[17:34] <harm> legon: check out /var/log
[17:34] <Gullstad> amenado: sudo smbmount //******/torrent /mnt/torrent/ -o username=gullstad,password=*******
[17:34] <harm> legon: nano /var/log/syslog is the usual for crashy things
[17:34] <legon> thanks
[17:35] <Gullstad> amenado: How put that in the same format?
[17:35] <amenado> Gullstad-> you dont need sudo inside fstab
[17:35] <harm> Gullstad: what do you want to do? mount a shared folder or mount a windows partition?
[17:35] <amenado> Gullstad-> look at the entries in your fstab, its pretty straight forward, if not, man fstab please
[17:35] <Stepa1> How can I move a file to a folder which I do not have permission to (visually, not through terminal
[17:35] <harm> Stepa1: terminal sudo nautilus? idk.. screw visual :P
[17:36] <amenado> Stepa1-> you dont have permission you can not,
[17:36] <Gullstad> harm: Mount a samba folder.
[17:36] <pimplife> how much space does swapneed
[17:36] <pimplife> how much space does swap need
[17:36] <harm> Gullstad: ok.. have you tried reading the wiki pages? http://wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[17:36] <Stepa1> harm: that was it, thanks
[17:37] <harm> Stepa1: .. ok no problem
[17:37] <Stepa1> harm: I can't do terminal because i cant remember all those commands
[17:37] <legon> harm: Nothing useful there I think...
[17:37] <amenado> Stepa1-> you can creat a file like a cheat sheet, so when you forget, you refer to it
[17:37] <harm> Stepa1: i highly suggest trying terminal.. because it was as easy as sudo cp ~/file.xxx /mnt/usb/file.xxx
[17:38] <legon> says something about cron.daily, but i don't think thats ist
[17:38] <harm> legon: perhaps its your PC? hardware?
[17:38] <amenado> man people seems to forget simple things..
[17:38] <Gullstad> harm: I'v been looking, but I cant find what I'm looking for, but I think i'll manage.
[17:38] <legon> harm: Maybe... it's kind of hot
[17:38] <harm> Gullstad: let me give you a hand 1 moment
[17:38] <pimplife> how much space does swap need
[17:38] <amenado> Gullstad-> you tried man fstab ?
[17:38] <Stepa1> amenado: I used to have that, each time I would go to the chatroom, i would record what people told me and i would know
[17:39] <Biff> i have a problem booting kernels newer then 2.6.20 with a raid1 md-raid, the server boots, but for some reason says "md0 stopped"
[17:39] <harm> Gullstad: >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently?highlight=%28mount%29
[17:39] <Biff> anyone seen this?
[17:39] <Stepa1> amenado: unfortunatly i formatted the system, and it went away
[17:39] <amenado> Stepa1-> then create a new one, and save it in a safe place
[17:39] <harm> amenado: man fstab is quite a bad read .. i suggest you suggest people to read wiki's
[17:39]  * legon is looking forward to a clean installation of ubuntu8
[17:39] <Gullstad> Thanks harm. Didnt know what to search for.
[17:39] <chrissyRO> How can I change the boot screen/image?
[17:39] <Stepa1> harm: even tough i like ubuntu more than windows, i will always appreciate windows more for simplicity
[17:40] <Stepa1> harm: even though i can understand most of what is said here, an average person would not
[17:40] <pimplife> how much space does swap need
[17:40] <harm> Stepa1: you would be amazed at how simple linux can be.. its just a slight learning curve.. i mean you KNOW windows hence it is easier
[17:40] <Stepa1> amenado: i will ;-)
[17:40] <legon> harm: I opened the chassi now... let's see if it stills reboots
[17:40] <ethand> philosophically speaking: is Windows = Simplicity, or Windows = Familiarity
[17:41] <harm> Stepa1: imagen it this way a airplane can be simple to fly.. but you need to know how.. and once you do its a breeze
[17:41] <amenado> Stepa1-> if you have use dos command line, linux is not that much more difficult
[17:41] <Stepa1> thats true guys, but let me expain this
[17:41] <sinbox> if you enter the artis/etc... data for a CD in sound juicer is there a way to save it so that next time you slap the CD in it will find that data?
[17:41] <napii> Email issue; am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[17:41] <cesar_bo> amenado: Hi, I am on my pc with the Kernel Panic error :) I change the initrd image to use the image .bak
[17:41] <Stepa1> Windows file system is easy to understand, Linux's system has a better technique behind it
[17:42] <cesar_bo> amenado: I don't know what is the problem ... :(
[17:42] <Stepa1> but a person who goes into c:/ can understand just about everything, program files, windows, etc
[17:42] <harm> Stepa1: urm iam not an expert on File systems.. but NTFS is pretty shit
[17:42] <Stepa1> if you go into file system, not that easy
[17:42] <harm> Stepa1:  you mean file structure?
[17:42] <amenado> cesar_bo-> okay, just make a copy of that .bak   without the .bak  and you are off and running
[17:42] <Stepa1> yea

[17:43] <cesar_bo> amenado: Well, but all my system and desktop is on english ! I am Bolivian I need it on spanish :D
[17:43] <harm> Stepa1: uh how is /home/foo harder then C:/Documents and Settings/Foo ?
[17:43] <amenado> cesar_bo-> oh, well you can learn english, its easy..hehe
[17:44] <cesar_bo> amenado: Well, well.. but why happend this?
[17:44] <amenado> cesar_bo-> i honestly dont know how they have those foreign locales...i only have used english

[17:44] <HardyOne> can somebody help me figure out how to disable touchpad and use usb mouse?
[17:44] <Stepa1> harm: not what i mean, what is mean is C:/ program file, windows, etc is different from /bin, boot, cdrom, dev, etc, home, initrd, ....
[17:44] <pimplife> how much space does swap need
[17:45] <chrissyRO> How can I change the boot screen/image?
[17:45] <warddr> HardyOne, isn't that a function key on your keyboard?
[17:45] <nikrud> pimplife about 512mb , unless you need to hibernate. Then the same as ram +100mb is recommended
[17:45] <warddr> HardyOne, with my notebook it's function + F7
[17:45] <nikrud> !usplash | chrissyRO
[17:45] <amenado> cesar_bo-> you can boot okay now?
[17:45] <ubotu> chrissyRO: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[17:45] <harm> Stepa1: true.. but all users have access to Programfiles.. so person A can messup person B.. while on linux person A cant do much about person B (assuming he isnt root)
[17:46] <chrissyRO> thank you!
[17:46] <HardyOne> warddr, does it have a picture of a mouse on it or something?
[17:46] <Stepa1> harm: thats what i ment by linux's file system makes more sence
[17:46] <pimplife> nikrud: some said twice ur memory is that true
[17:46] <Stepa1> harm: any change requires a password and i will always respect that
[17:46] <warddr> HardyOne, it's a finger on a touchpad
[17:47] <HardyOne> warddr, ok fn+f7 disables the touchpad for me also
[17:47] <harm> Stepa1:  >.> you confused me.. but you have any more problems?
[17:47] <druke> pimplife, thats what ppl used to say alot, now its caps around 3gb
[17:47] <f0rmat> hello is there any way of downloading packages through synaptic but chose where to download them to so i can transfer them to a computer without an internet connection
[17:47] <nikrud> pimplife that used to be the recommendation when machines had low memory, not so true now
[17:47] <HardyOne> warddr, now can you help me to get the usb mouse working :)
[17:47] <Stepa1> harm: well if you have the time, i hate the mount feature
[17:47] <Stroganoff> Stepa1: use automount
[17:47] <warddr> HardyOne, just plug and play!
[17:47] <harm> Stepa1: which mount feature?
[17:48] <Stepa1> harm, stroganoff, ex. instead of going into My Computer and all is there
[17:48] <pimplife> : when i use the alternate cd i dont know what to but the settings at for the partion
[17:48] <Stepa1> i have to mount things before i access them
[17:48] <nikrud> f0rmat they appear in /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:48] <HardyOne> warddr, unfortunately it is plug but no play with this microsoft mouse
[17:49] <harm> Stepa1: just auto mount stuff?
[17:49] <f0rmat> nikrud, oh ok
[17:49] <nixbob73> sorry this is not the right channel I know , I am looking for a channel for cellphones , specifically the htc can anyone guide me in the right direction?
[17:49] <f0rmat> nikrud, thankyou
[17:49] <Stepa1> harm: see, i do not know what auto mount is
[17:49] <Stroganoff> Stepa1: nautilus and thunar-volman do the same
[17:49] <nikrud> pimplife choose one as ext3  and mounted at   /   , the other small one as swap
[17:49] <Stepa1> :-/
[17:49] <amortvigil> how can i get rid of the warning that x has another keybord configuration then gnome?
[17:49] <warddr> HardyOne, then I can't help you
[17:49] <Stroganoff> so whats you problem, Stepa1? windows has to mound devices too, you know? :D
[17:49] <HardyOne> warddr, but you did. thank you :)
[17:50] <harm> Stepa1: ok so you want your windows parition to auto mount on startup?
[17:50] <pimplife> nikrud: thanks but what about all the other options
[17:50] <CRINGO> hmm, my fstab has fsck on my ntfs as well as some other partition/filesystems, should i just disable it?
[17:50] <frandavid100> hi
[17:50] <frandavid100> can someone give me a hand?
[17:50] <frandavid100> I'm trying to view some files in the gnome svn page: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-control-center/trunk/typing-break/
[17:50] <Stroganoff> frandavid100, if you ask like this: no
[17:50] <nikrud> pimplife you should also set the one you use as   /   for formatting, not use existing data.
[17:50] <nixbob73> ask away frandavid100
[17:50] <Stepa1> Stroganoff: right, but in windows they are easier to access,
[17:51] <Stroganoff> how's that?
[17:51] <Stepa1> harm: yes, can you help with that btw
[17:51] <frandavid100> but I'm clicking the files (bar.png, for example) and I can't get to view the images themselves
[17:51] <pimplife> nikrud: thanks
[17:51] <Stroganoff> frandavid100: right click -> choose another application.
[17:51] <harm> Stepa1: thats a simple one, nano /etc/fstab and then add a line for the windows partition
[17:52] <harm> Stepa1: i think you will enjoy http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[17:52] <Stroganoff> harm: THATS not a simple one
[17:52] <nixbob73> can anyone tell me if they know of a channel for cellphones?
[17:52] <Stepa1> harm: my point, thats an easy one for those who use it every day, for a new commer, its not easy
[17:52] <frandavid100> Stroganoff: I'm saving them and trying to open them with EOG, but it tells me they're not PNGs
[17:52] <Timi> Question, guys. I removed the hard drive with my ubuntu partition on it, and now, when I boot the computer, it fails to load because the GRUB boot thing can't run properly, or something to that effect.

[17:53] <rahmen> Hi! I need help with my Radeon 9600. Direct rendering won't work.. I've followed many guides that won't work =/
[17:53] <dt84> hi. I'm using Rhythmbox 0.11.2 to listen to my music. I've noticed that I can't edit some of my files details (like artist/album/title). It seems as it has been edited, but when I close Rhythmbox and re-open it, the changes are not seen. How can I fix this?
[17:53] <CRINGO> Stepa1, also, blkid will give you the UUID number
[17:53] <harm> Stepa1: yah.. true.. but ubuntu assumes its the only operating system and it does automount itself :P
[17:54] <Stroganoff> frandavid100: your saving the log files
[17:54] <Stepa1> CRINGO: ill take a look
[17:54] <goose_> can someone please help me connect to a shared network printer?
[17:54] <dabbill> What driver do i need to install for a gForce 8800GT ? I set it to use the nvidia 8 serise driver but i cant get a resultion over 800x600.
[17:54] <davidw> ikonia, net dies too... let's see what happens when we let my wife's laptop do the usbserial connection and port forwarding
[17:54] <rahmen> glxinfo gives me: "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." and "libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable failed"
[17:54] <frandavid100> Stroganoff: yep, where is the link to the actual files?
[17:54] <Stepa1> harm: question, if my second drive was formated to fat, would it auto mout?
[17:55] <Stroganoff> frandavid100, it seems the svn at gnome.org isnt designed for images
[17:55] <Stroganoff> frandavid100: you could copy the code in into a file: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-control-center/trunk/typing-break/bar.png?revision=4095&view=markup
[17:55] <Stroganoff> frandavid100: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-control-center/trunk/typing-break/bar.png?revision=4095
[17:55] <Stroganoff> frandavid100: you see, checkout view is disabled ^^
[17:55] <CRINGO> Stepa1, yeah, FAT filesystems are recognized and mounted, it would call it Disk or Disk-1, Disk-2, etc.
[17:56] <Piero_Scaruffi> Hello how do i change my system time to my timezone?
[17:56] <Stepa1> CRINGO: okay, thats interesting and makes more sense
[17:56] <CRINGO> Stepa1, most thumb drives are in FAT
[17:56] <frandavid100> I'm not sure I get how the whole thing works :-$
[17:56] <Stroganoff> Stepa1: all drives should automatically be detected and written into fstab. if not, somethings wrong with your system
[17:57] <CRINGO> Stepa1, he means at install
[17:57] <Stroganoff> i dont know exactly
[17:57] <Stroganoff> i havnt used gnome in a long time
[17:57] <CRINGO> Stepa1, as long as the drives are internal and you install with them connected, it will add them to fstab
[17:57] <Stroganoff> i'm pretty content with the automount feature in xfce
[17:58] <CJS3141> Does anyone know how to add a program, with an icon, to the "open with other application" menu that you get when right-clicking on a file?
[17:58] <MohammadBoozary> Hi all
[17:58] <MohammadBoozary> How to can i resolve this problem? -----> http://mohammad.boozary.googlepages.com/crash_fonts.jpg
[17:58] <nikrud> CJS3141 right click the file, go to properties, the open with tab
[17:59] <Stepa1> CRINGO: I have a 5 in 1 media card reader which is internal
[18:00] <CRINGO> hmm, i don't know what that is exactly, but...
[18:00] <Stepa1> CRINGO: I went to Computer, and tried all the Drives that are there, but it says unable to mount there is prob. no media in drive
[18:00] <CJS3141> nikrud: yes, that will add a program, and only it's binary program file name, and no icon. How might I add it with an icon, along with a different name than its binary executable file name?

[18:00] <scarr> Hey all, can anyone shed some light on a weirdness with nm-applet and wireless?
[18:00] <Stepa1> CRINGO: never mind
[18:00] <CRINGO> Stepa1, yeah, I'm not sure about that then.. okay
[18:00] <Piero_Scaruffi> How can i adjust my timezone
[18:00] <Stepa1> CRINGO: i took it out like five times and it worked
[18:01] <CRINGO> :/
[18:01] <CRINGO> heh
[18:01] <scarr> Here's the situation: I've got a wifi connection that works, but nm-applet won't stop spinning as if it's not connected, and it won't let me connect to any PPTP networks because of it.
[18:01] <nikrud> CJS3141 I think you need to create a desktop file description (like in /usr/share/applications) but I'm not sure about it.
[18:01] <Stepa1> anyway, got to go guys
[18:01] <Stepa1> thanks for all your help
[18:01] <CRINGO> Piero_Scaruffi, right click your clock
[18:01] <CRINGO> np Stepa1
[18:01] <scarr> I've wiped the entries in ~/.gconf but upon recreation it just does it again.  This is one of those "worked before" situations.
[18:02] <CJS3141> nikrud: That's what I was afraid of--anybody know how create a desktop file description file?
[18:02] <CRINGO> Piero_Scaruffi, I'm sorry, that doesn't work :/
[18:02] <CRINGO> Piero_Scaruffi, I'm confusing myself, IT DOES WORK, go to adjust date and time
[18:02] <nikrud> CJS3141 it's pretty straightforward, just take one, delete all the alternate language stuff, and you're left with the skeleton
[18:02] <CRINGO> :p
[18:03] <crashhandler> off topic q: how to 'ignore' in xchat?
[18:03] <nikrud> CJS3141 not promising it will work though. I've never attempted that
[18:03] <CJS3141> nikrud: I actually already tried that, rebooted, but nothing changed so I assume I did it wrong.
[18:03] <CRINGO> crashhandler, go to Window
[18:03] <scarr> Anyone know if maybe I can delete some of the udev/rules.d to reset this device?
[18:03] <CRINGO> crashhandler, ignore list
[18:03] <goose_> can someone please help me connect to a shared network printer?
[18:04] <CRINGO> my fstab has fsck on my ntfs as well as some other partition/filesystems, should i just disable it?
[18:04] <scarr> The super annoying thing about this is that there's seemingly no way to just reset the config.  I hope I'm not going to have to re-install to fix it, that would crush my spirit ;)
[18:05] <CJS3141> nikrud: do I need to do anything besides save the newly hacked one as a .desktop file in my .local/share/applications folder?
[18:05] <pimplife> nikrud: what do i do with boot flag option
[18:05] <nikrud> CJS3141 again, not sure how that works. I'm idly looking around, I might get lucky. Something new to learn
[18:06] <nikrud> pimplife for the ubuntu one, it doesn't matter.
[18:06] <scarr> Bah, forget it.

[18:06] <pimplife> nikrud: what about lable option
[18:06] <lusepuster> Any idea?
[18:06] <nikrud> pimplife whatever label you might like. gutsy might work ;)
[18:07] <pimplife> nikrud: what about mount option
[18:07] <samiy> quit
[18:08] <nikrud> pimplife now that's critical. The ext3 partition needs to be on   "   /   " root partition
[18:08] <CRINGO> option
[18:08] <CRINGO> pimplife, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html <- that's a good explanation of fstab
[18:09] <CRINGO> pimplife, is that what you're doin?
[18:09] <CRINGO> sorry
[18:09] <miguel> hi
[18:09] <MauL^> In evolution
[18:09] <MauL^> In evolution, I created my groups but I cannot send an e-mail to the group. do you know how?
[18:10] <Mokaa> hi all
[18:10] <pimplife> the option just says mount option and it says defult
[18:10] <herby> hi
[18:11] <CRINGO> pimplife, my / has  defaults,errors=remount-ro
[18:11] <herby> can someone help me with an ubuntu problem?
[18:11] <CRINGO> herby, just shoot
[18:11] <tbwnoob> er crashes when i use to much ram or when i have like 2 big processes up
[18:11] <tbwnoob> how can i fix that
[18:12] <pimplife> ill just leave it as default
[18:12] <nikrud> pimplife  when you click on mount point, it should give a list, like   /   /usr   /home  , choose   /
[18:12] <CRINGO> pimplife, yeah, i'm thinking you don't need that error line
[18:12] <suicidepills> can someone tell me what the prefix "~./" before a filename means?
[18:12] <herby> when I surf with firefox, the force quit thing comes up when a timeout happens...is there a way to turn that off?
[18:12] <prince_jammys> suicidepills: ~ means your home directory
[18:12] <CRINGO> oh, pimplife is installing?
[18:13] <suicidepills> sweet, thanks jammys :)
[18:13] <frandavid100> bye guys
[18:13] <nikrud> yup
[18:13] <CRINGO> oops
[18:13] <CRINGO> heh
[18:13] <pimplife> not yet
[18:13] <CRINGO> ah
[18:13] <tbwnoob> hello room
[18:13] <prince_jammys> suicidepills: no dot after that. the dot means "present directory"
[18:13] <CRINGO> my fstab has fsck on my ntfs as well as some other partition/filesystems, should i just disable it?
[18:13] <tbwnoob> can somone help me
[18:13] <unop__> suicidepills, ~/file is the same as $HOME/file -- a file in your home directory -- i dont thin ~./file could be valid tho
[18:14] <HardyOne> tbwnoob, ask a question
[18:14] <nikrud> CRINGO I leave them. the ntfs one seems to be ignored, and running fsck regularly is simple good maintenance
[18:14] <sinbox> !ask | tbwnoob
[18:14] <ubotu> tbwnoob: 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. :-)
[18:14] <unop__> s/thin/think/
[18:14] <pimplife> CRINGO: its cuz im using the alternate cd
[18:14] <ar0nic> btw just to let you guys now this is about the most unhelpful ubuntu chan ive found..its also sad its the official one.
[18:14] <tbwnoob> hardyone my computer keep crashing
[18:14] <prince_jammys> thanks!
[18:14] <tbwnoob> <HardyOn when i use the memory
[18:14] <CRINGO> nikrud, i'm having some issues though, for some reason, when i boot, my /home, which is on a separate partition, isn't mounted :/
[18:15] <pimplife> ar0nic: which do u recommended
[18:15] <tbwnoob> <HardyOn it like if i have 2 big apps open it will crash
[18:15] <CRINGO> I have to do it manually
[18:15] <unop__> ar0nic, we're sorry you feel that way
[18:15] <ar0nic> np
[18:15] <tbwnoob> HardyOn do you know what i can do to change this
[18:15] <prince_jammys> "we"?
[18:15] <earl> hey guys. i wonder if anyone has experience running zsnes. i cannot get any sound from it.
[18:15] <nikrud> CRINGO that would have nothing to do with that setting; what do you see in /var/log/syslog during bootup?
[18:15] <meltdwn> hey there ppl
[18:15] <tbwnoob> <HardyOn change my swap?
[18:15] <earl> i did the steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zsnes but no success.
[18:15] <CRINGO> nikrud, well, it says fsck fails before that happens
[18:15] <ar0nic> you guys should check out the ubuntu on efnet..for christ sakes its efnet and they are much more helpful and knowledgeable
[18:15] <nikrud> ar0nic you have two choices: help raise the help level, or stay in your prefered ones
[18:16] <CRINGO> nikrud, i'll pastebin in a sec
[18:16] <herby> can someone help me stop firefox for "not responding" when a page times out?
[18:16] <unop__> ar0nic, ok, thats about enough trolling necessary -- can you stop now please?
[18:16] <HardyOne> tbwnoob, first please ask your question in one post and give as much info as possible. remember 1 POST makes it easier for us to read
[18:16] <nikrud> CRINGO boot into recovery mode, and run fsck home partition
[18:16] <ar0nic> maybe its not the chan just the massive influx of noobs to helpers?
[18:16] <CRINGO> okay nikrud
[18:16] <justprogramming8> can some one help me
[18:16] <justprogramming8> ??
[18:17] <nikrud> CRINGO you'll get good error messages that way
[18:17] <tbwnoob> HardyOn okay, my question is why does my computer crash when i use the ram and processes and how do i fix it
[18:17] <CRINGO> justprogramming8, just ask the question man :p
[18:17] <ar0nic> unop_ im def not trolling but yoru jump to conclusions is an exact reason why this chan suffers...
[18:17] <CRINGO> okay nikrud
[18:17] <CRINGO> I'll bb
[18:17] <unop__> herby, it probably means the site isnt actually responding -- as in the site might be down or there might be technical issues with it
[18:17] <sinbox> tbwnoob, have you ran a memtest?
[18:17] <nikrud> ar0nic you start with how crappy this channel is. You expect us to think anything else?
[18:17] <tbwnoob> <sinbox not yet
[18:17] <justprogramming8> i have screen saver
[18:17] <justprogramming8> in my os
[18:17] <ar0nic> i didnt say the channel was crappy
[18:18] <tbwnoob> sinbox what would that do fix anything?
[18:18] <justprogramming8> and i want source code
[18:18] <unop__> ar0nic, you were asked to help with feedback but you don't seem to be doing that -- so what else are you doing thats not trolling eh?
 btw just to let you guys now this is about the most unhelpful ubuntu chan ive found..its also sad its the official one.
[18:18] <prince_jammys> ar0nic: ok, you just wanted to report that this is the "most useless" (least useful) channel. thanks, noted.
[18:18] <sinbox> tbwnoob, not fix anything but tell you if it's a ram problem which is a good place to start looking
[18:18] <manolo> eh
[18:18] <tbwnoob> sinbox i dont think it is because this is new ram
[18:18] <nikrud> so ar0nic help, or go, or watch.
[18:19] <ar0nic> i said worst. big difference.
[18:19] <tbwnoob> sinbox i think its somethign with my graphics
[18:19] <herby> It don't give me the option to stop the page, I have to force quit and restART THE BROWSER
[18:19] <herby> sorry for the caps
[18:19] <justprogramming8> mmm
[18:19] <tbwnoob> sinbox because when i launch my game it does the same thing as if when i launch two big apps
[18:19] <sinbox> tbwnoob, still could be slightly not inserted properly, that is where I usually start, if it's a graphic problem I'm afraid I know nought about that
[18:20] <tbwnoob> sinbox crashes the same way
[18:20] <pimplife> nikrud: theirs also an option thats asks how much % to save or something like that
[18:20] <cr_tmn_az> farel
[18:20] <prince_jammys> ar0nic: nope, you said "most useless".
[18:20] <tbwnoob> sinbox ok but ti woudnt be a swap problem?
[18:20] <nikrud> pimplife I don't recognize that, what does it say exactly?
[18:20] <nikrud> prince_jammys please let it drop, ar0nic seems to have
[18:21] <herby> is there a way to just stop a page having a problem instead of terminating the browser?
[18:21] <prince_jammys> nikrud: ok i had my fun. sorry :)
[18:21] <sinbox> I'm afraid I'm a bit of a noob to linux tbwnoob and don't know that much about swap
[18:21] <pimplife> hold on
[18:21] <tbwnoob> okay
[18:21] <herby> it's happening every 10 pages or so and it gets rather annoying
[18:21] <tbwnoob> does anyone know if a low swap could cause a crash?
[18:21] <tbwnoob> can a low swap cause a crash?
[18:21] <john> hey im trying to update ny tomtom satnav in ubuntu, can anyone help? its detected as a removable device, I can see the map files, can I just copy over them with new ones???
[18:21] <tsrk> Hi, I'm trying to wget a radio stream and I want it to stop after a given time.  How can I do that?
[18:22] <unop__> tbwnoob, it can cause a situation where your system runs out of available memory - i.e. "insufficient memory" problems
[18:22] <Polarina> tbwnoob: No. Having no swap at all does not cause a crash either.
[18:22] <bella> hi all
[18:22] <tbwnoob> hmm ok
[18:22] <stefg> tbwnoob: in theory yes, but that's not very likely... you rather see apps closing (kernel kills them if it needs meory desperatly)
[18:22] <bella> can find out how to install tgz files
[18:22] <tbwnoob> ok
[18:22] <tbwnoob> well it does that
[18:22] <symptom> What video card is the best for use with Ubuntu?
[18:23] <nikrud> bella depends on what's inside the tar.gz
[18:23] <hyb> Anybody know how to use file associations for programs within wine?
[18:23] <tbwnoob> <stefg it does that and i try to launch it morew and it closes it liek 5 times then it crashese
[18:23] <stefg> symptom: Intel for open source drivers, nvidia for performance (no 8800 gts)
[18:23] <FJSS> When I download/install a package where is the .exe of the program stored? Sorry I'm a native windows user.....
[18:23] <tbwnoob> stefg so could that be it
[18:23] <nikrud> hyb you might find someone who knows in #winehq , it'll be hit or miss here
[18:23] <bella> nikrud, a programme called mesk
[18:23] <hyb> ah ok thanks
[18:24] <stefg> tbwnoob: sorry, came in late, so i haven't read your initial question
[18:24] <tbwnoob> wow my swap wasnt on
[18:24] <nikrud> bella is source code, or precompied binaries?
[18:24] <symptom> FJSS, it doesnt really work like that
[18:24] <herby> can someone help me?
[18:24] <nzerox> hi guys, i am trying to install sun-java-jre, but it is saying that sun-java-bin is missing, please help
[18:24] <symptom> FJSS, the excuteable will usually be stored in a bin file
[18:24] <symptom> executable*
[18:24] <symptom> i mean a bin directory
[18:25] <symptom> such as /usr/local/bin/
[18:25] <bella> various folders som I assume precompiled but I am new to linux so
[18:25] <Bruno_> !justask | herby
[18:25] <ubotu> herby: 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. :-)
[18:25] <symptom> or /bin
[18:25] <Flannel> FJSS: Linux doesn't use .exes, but more importantly, it doesn't matter where the program actually is stored, it's somewhere in your path, just type the programs name (or whatever the binary is) and it'll run
[18:25] <Fade2blk> anyone use vmware to run ubuntu?
[18:25] <hyb> I've done it before Fade2blk
[18:25] <FJSS> Flannel: i'm just trying to set Azureus as my default in firefox
[18:25] <balle_> hello
[18:25] <nikrud> bella if it's the tarball from their site, you need to compile it. the README inside it tells you what you need to be able to compile it
[18:25] <symptom> Flannel, haha your explanation is much better than mine
[18:26] <Fade2blk> do you know how to set up the drag and drop so i can simply drag and drop file between the to os's
[18:26] <balle_> i need to play a dvd in VLC, but it wont recognise it as a file
[18:26] <Flannel> FJSS: alright, so you need a path to give to firefox.  In the terminal, type 'which azureus' (assuming 'azureus' is the way you start it) and you'll get a path
[18:26] <stefg> !dvd | balle
[18:26] <ubotu> balle: 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
[18:26] <nikrud> balle you would use file->open disk. If it's a commercial dvd, you need to get libdvdcss2, see above
[18:27] <FJSS> Flannel: it says "/usr/bin/azureus"
[18:27] <stefg> balle_: you need to open a 'volume', not a file or a folder
[18:27] <symptom> !k9copy | symptom
[18:27] <balle_> stefg: how do i do that?
[18:28] <prince_jammys> FJSS: that's the full path to the executable
[18:28] <Flannel> FJSS: so there you go.  /usr/bin/ is where azureus is stored, and /usr/bin/azureus is the full executable path (that's the actual file you run to start it, and the one you'll give to firefox)
[18:28] <stefg> balle_: it's a tap in the file opening dialog... just open your eyes
[18:28] <FJSS> Flannel: thx
[18:28] <balle_> stefg: how do i open a volume?
[18:28] <stefg> tap==tab
[18:28] <herby> when I use firefox, when a page times out, it's considered not responding and I have to force quit, it makes it nearly unusable, can I stop it from doing this?
[18:28] <Timitop> I need help removing ubuntu from a dual booted computer, without harming the windows partition, Can anyone help me?
[18:29] <slipttees> Erro While creating /dev/sda1
[18:29] <Flannel> Timitop: Do you have a windows CD?
[18:29] <slipttees> Be aware that the failure to apple this operation could affect other operatuin on the list.
[18:29] <Timitop> Flannel: No.
[18:29] <slipttees> formating iPod
[18:29] <Flannel> Timitop: alright, do you have any other method of restoring the windows bootloader to the MBR?
[18:29] <Timitop> Flannel, Not that I know of.
[18:30] <nikrud> !compile | bella
[18:30] <ubotu> bella: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[18:30] <goose_> can someone please help me connect to a shared network printer?
[18:30] <Infernalord> Flannel: you want to restore the windows loader to the mbr?
[18:30] <slipttees> error in the formated my iPod Shuffle in Ubuntu
[18:30] <Infernalord> i ment Timitop
[18:30] <Flannel> Timitop: Alright.  You'll need to keep grub on a tiny partition, and that can boot your windows, no problem.  If you're not sure what you're doing, it may be easier to reinstall Ubuntu with grub on a small partition, then delete all non-GRUB partitions
[18:30] <slipttees> rro While creating /dev/sda1
[18:30] <Flannel> Infernalord: He wants to get rid ofUbuntu, so yes.
[18:30] <slipttees> Be aware that the failure to apple this operation could affect other operatuin on the list.
[18:31] <slipttees> wtf ?
[18:31] <Flannel> Timitop: Except for the MBR bit, removing Ubuntu is as easy as simply deleting the partition
[18:31] <Infernalord> hm you can insert the windows cd, boot on it, then go to the rescue console and type "fixmbr"
[18:31] <Flannel> Infernalord: He has no windows CD
[18:31] <Infernalord> oh
[18:31] <nebnav> firefox scrolls weird, anyone know whats up?
[18:31] <oem> dan met een dos diskette
[18:31] <Timitop> Flannel, I think that's whats going on right now
[18:31] <c-ron> nebav: try turning off smooth scrolling?
[18:32] <stefg> !info mbr

[18:32] <Timitop> Thanks :)
[18:32] <Flannel> Timitop: Oh, your other option is to use SBR (Smart Boot Manager), which will also be able to boot windows, without the extra partition.  That might be a better choice, come to think of it.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/
[18:32] <nebnav> c-ron: where? frefox preferences.
[18:32] <Infernalord> quite ironic, someone wishing to get rid of ubuntu, and i can't make a damn dualboot work :(
[18:33] <c-ron> nebnav, yes, under the advanced tab
[18:33] <sigp239> Using the Ubuntu Beta LiveCD can I install programs?
[18:33] <Flannel> sigp239: what do you mean install programs?
[18:33] <Flannel> Infernalord: What's your problem with dualboot?
[18:34] <sigp239> Flannel:  Well what if I want to install support for mpgs?  Would that work with the add/remove programs?
[18:34] <stefg> sigp239: dpends on how much ram you have. remeber that everything is taking place inside a ramdisk
[18:34] <sigp239> stefg:  I have 4GB of RAM is that enough?
[18:34] <Timitop> Flannel, alright, I'll just use that, thanks. One more problem, I'm unable to remove the partitions 'Extended' and 'linux-swap' through the live CD.
[18:34] <Infernalord> Flannel: I had windows installed, and yesterday I installed the newest Ubuntu, but when I reboot the pc, it goes straight for Windows, it won't let me choose and I don't know how to make it work
[18:34] <Infernalord> i've been to tutorials, but it's confusing :(
[18:34] <Bruno_> Timitop: download gparted
[18:34] <pimplife> nikrud: it says reserved blocks 5%
[18:34] <stefg> sigp239: simply try it...
[18:35] <sigp239> Can I make a custom liveCD that already includes programs that I want?
[18:35] <nikrud> pimplife ah, that's fine.
[18:35] <Flannel> sigp239: Yeah, you can install programs on the LiveCD, just realise they're running solely off of RAM
[18:35] <slipttees> mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock
[18:35] <slipttees> error: could not execute pmount
[18:35] <Timitop> Bruno_: Way ahead of you there, mate, that's what I'm using.
[18:35] <pimplife> nikrud: what about typical usage option
[18:35] <Fade2blk> how would i install a tar.gz
[18:35] <pimplife> nikrud: it says default

[18:36] <Bruno_> Timitop: hmmm, what error does it give you?
[18:36] <nikrud> leave it there, that's the best overall use case
[18:36] <pimplife> ok thanks
[18:36] <stefg> !software | Fade2blk
[18:36] <Timitop> Bruno_: None, it just doesn't give me the option.
[18:36] <ubotu> Fade2blk: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[18:36] <pimplife> nikrud: wait
[18:36] <Flannel> Timitop: Extended is where any logical (numbered 5+) partitions are, so you won't be able to remove that until the others are gone.  your swap partition is probably being used by the liveCD.  Try sudo swapoff -a (and if -a doesn't work, you'll need to specify a path to the partition) to turn it off
[18:36] <Fade2blk> thx
[18:36] <suicidepills> is there a channel for rtorrent?
[18:36] <stefg> sorry, pimplife ... out of line error :-)
[18:36] <pimplife> nikrud: so boot flag doesnt matter right
[18:36] <nikrud> pimplife correct
[18:37] <Flannel> !grub | Infernalord
[18:37] <ubotu> Infernalord: 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
[18:37] <Timitop> Okay, thanks again flannel
[18:37] <Flannel> Infernalord: Try the first link there, it gives instructions on (re)installing GRUB to the MBR
[18:37] <Bruno_> Infernalord: you probably need to edit your menu.list under /boot/grub
[18:37] <legon> YES!! I Finally got compiz to work :D after like 3-4 years of trying. In the end Envy fixed it hehe
[18:37] <Infernalord> Flannel: I have been there, the problem is that I don't know the commands like setup(0,0) i don't know how to configure those commands
[18:37] <Infernalord> :_S
[18:37] <Infernalord> :S
[18:37] <legon> Everything is so smooth.. much better than without 3D
[18:37] <Fade2blk> hey i didnt see anything about tar.gz packages
[18:37] <robobob> i just changed graphics driver and now its stuck on booting local scripts any fixes?
[18:38] <balle_> how do i make gxine accept my dvd?
[18:38] <Flannel> Infernalord: What do you mean?  Its just a partition number.  The first is the drive number, second is partition.  So, 0,0 would be your first drive, first partition (sda1 equivalent in linux)
[18:38] <styrman> legon what graphic card?
[18:38] <suicidepills> does anyone know how to change the folder that a torrent's files are in with rtorrent?
[18:39] <legon> styrman: ATI X1600Pro
[18:39] <orudie> anyone here have any experience with hlstatsx ?
[18:39] <Infernalord> Flannel: I have 2 hard drives, one IDE and one SATA, how do I know which partition I should tell grub to boot? when I installed ubuntu, i created one swap partition and one ext3, do i need another one?
[18:39] <legon> styrman: I was SO close to buying a nvidia card for like $30
[18:39] <Fro1> Hi All!      Noob warning here.   Need to tell Edgy's synaptic to forget proxy settings...Had it set earlier, now it won't forget it.
[18:39] <goose_> I need help connecting to a printer hosted by an iMac
[18:39] <styrman> legon: heh.. i have ati too, couldnt get it to run iwth open drivers but with Xgl and fglrx i got it to run in 1min
[18:39] <GarethAdams> Why would I be getting "Bad passphrase, try again" when `ssh-add`ing a private key which works fine in Pageant on my Windows box?
[18:40] <Infernalord> Flannel: I remember that my ext3 partition was on sdb, the sata drive
[18:40] <legon> styrman: Before my CPU often reached 100 % and video was lagging.... 3D didn't work. Sometimes I fixed the later parts, but never compiz.
[18:40] <styrman> legon i had that sometimes with open driver
[18:40] <legon> styrman: I've really tried it all i think... think latest envy is great
[18:40] <suicidepills> does anyone know how to change the folder that a torrent's files are in with rtorrent?
[18:41] <Flannel> Infernalord: No, you don't need another.  GRUB (stage 1, the MBR bit) installs to your first harddrive (since thats what your BIOS boots to), it doesn't have a partition.  You tell GRUB to boot to the partition that your /boot directory is in (whether thats /boot independant of something else, or inside of /)
[18:41] <styrman> legon but yeah made the promise to myself to get nvidia next time :F
[18:41] <bella> nikrud it has worked you are an angel thanks
[18:41] <legon> styrman: Also, Ubuntu was haning really abruptly. We'll see if that's changed no too. That was to cause for why I tried fixing the graphics again
[18:41] <bittu> how to open shaerd folder of xp in ubuntu?
[18:42] <nikrud> bella good have some fun, and maybe learn something on the way ;)
[18:42] <Infernalord> Flannel: i see, is there a way of seeing a map of the partitions while on the grub prompt? so that i know which one to type on the setup (x,x) ?
[18:42] <pulpfiction> is it possible for me to change the name of my mounted drives?
[18:42] <pulpfiction> right now ubuntu automatically labels them sda1, sda5, sdb5, etc
[18:42] <justprogramming8> mmm
[18:42] <nzerox> anyone here know how to get sun-java6 working on a sun ultrasparc 10 running gutsy ?
[18:43] <justprogramming8> i have this error
[18:43] <ryrys> bittu, using shared folders: system>preferences
[18:43] <amenado> pulpfiction-> you can but i dont know quite yet, you have to fool around with udev rules
[18:43] <goose_> I can't find a shared printer on my network, does anyone have any experience with finding printers hosted by a MAC
[18:43] <justprogramming8> i have this error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:43] <justprogramming8> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[18:43] <nikrud> pulpfiction right click the icon on the desktop, on the volumes tab hit the triangle next to settings. Change the mountpoint from sda5 to disk for example
[18:43] <mattyB> nzerox: does sudo apt-get install sun-java6 not work?
[18:43] <pulpfiction> amenado, i actually know i could probably edit it on the /etc/fstab file, but isn't there anything gui?
[18:43] <Fro1> anyone here know how to tell synaptic to forget the proxy settings?  I used system>prefs to set while at work...now at home when I remove it, synaptic still tries to use it.
[18:44] <nikrud> pulpfiction do _not_ give a full path, only the single name you want to see on the desktop
[18:44] <pulpfiction> ok, let me check that
[18:44] <nzerox> mattyB, nope, it complains that sun-java-bin is missing
[18:44] <justprogramming8> any one can help me
[18:44] <mattyB> znzerox: hmm... I'll have to think about for a min
[18:45] <nikrud> justprogramming8 apps-accesorries->terminal , and type   sudo dpkg configure -a there
[18:45] <nzerox> Mattb, no problem, i can not see that package with apt-cache
[18:45] <justprogramming8> i have this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:45] <justprogramming8> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[18:45] <bella> I did nikrud bye
[18:45] <nikrud> bella  bye
[18:45] <ryrys> justprogramming8, use $ sudo dpkg configure -a
[18:45] <bittu> ryrys hey i want to open shard files of xp in ubuntu through ip?
[18:45] <Flannel> Infernalord: Not while at the GRUB prompt, I don't believe, no.  If you (on your harddrive) check out /boot/grub/device.map, it should list them.  (Thats the one on your harddrive, not actually at '/boot/grub/device.map', since you're on a liveCD
[18:46] <mattyB> nzerox: I'm sure you also tried install the sun-java6-jre via apt-get too
[18:46] <nzerox> mattyB, yep
[18:46] <pimplife> nikrud: the the thing says it will erase the data on my pation that i set to leave alone why
[18:46] <bittu> ryrys we are connected in wireless lan
[18:46] <Infernalord> Flannel: Ok I will search for that, so afterwards all I need to do is enter the grub prompt and type setup (x,x) and reboot?
[18:46] <nzerox> nzerox, i am using the sparc version of gutsy
[18:46] <mattyB> nzerox: sorry then... I got noth'n
[18:46] <Gullstad> I'v just installed phpmyadmin on ubuntu server, but when i go to *ip*/phpmyadmin it says "Not Found".
[18:46] <nzerox> bittu, you need to mount the file share on windows xp in to ubuntu
[18:47] <nikrud> !gutsysources | nzerox (do this if you don't see sun-java6-jre in apt-get, hopefully it's in sparc too :)
[18:47] <ubotu> nzerox (do this if you don't see sun-java6-jre in apt-get, hopefully it's in sparc too :): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[18:47] <Flannel> Infernalord: just follow the steps on that page, yeah.
[18:47] <bittu> ryrys plz help me out
[18:47] <mattyB> ubotu: that sounds right
[18:47] <Critt> What would  be a good GNU app for creating and burning ISO img?
[18:47] <goose_> can someone please help me connect to a shared network printer?

[18:48] <pimplife> nikrud: ubuntu says it will erase the data on my pation that i set to leave alone why
[18:48] <nikrud> nzerox you can confirm whether or not it's in sparc at packages.ubuntu.com
[18:48] <rahmen> I need help with my Radeon 9600 graphics card.. direct rendering won't work..
[18:48] <Critt> wow thanks
[18:48] <whileimhere> Hi. I am still trying to figure out how to get my Ubuntu to boot without a password and without GDM is there a way to do this?
[18:48] <warddr> Critt, just right click
[18:48] <nzerox> nikrud, i can see sun-java6-jre, but when i do apt-get install sun-java6-jre, it failes saying that it needs sun-java6-bin and this is not installable
[18:48] <nikrud> pimplife is it the swap? go back and check if that's the one it's talking about.
[18:48] <warddr> and byrn
[18:48] <Critt> ok
[18:48] <Seveas> whileimhere, system -> admin -> login window, tab 'security'
[18:49] <bittu> what is pm?
[18:49] <ryrys> bittu, simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/
[18:49] <Infernalord> Flannel: I will try that now, I should be online in a few minutes. Thank you for your patience.
[18:49] <Flannel> whileimhere: You can login to a user after X seconds through GDM
[18:49] <amortvigil> hey i used to have xgl installed wich provided me some stabillity for compiz , now i need the direct 3d rendering with nvidia and therefor deinstalled xgl.... now my x freezes all the time and i have to reboot . does anyone have some options?
[18:49] <ryrys> bittu, I follow those steps, and works fine :3
[18:49] <nikrud> nzerox check for that in packages as well. I don't have muc^Wany experience with sparc and what the volunteers were able to make available
[18:49] <bittu> k m trying
[18:49] <pimplife> nikrud: no its just the warning it says but im scared it will erase vista
[18:50] <nikrud> pimplife what partition is your vista on?
[18:50] <whileimhere> What I have is Advanced MAME set up and I would like to be able to boot directly into the program without a desktop.
[18:50] <nzerox> nikrud, how would i go about compiling the sun-java6-source into a deb and installig that? is that possible?
[18:50] <dark_Harmonics> whileimhere you mean like in a kiosk mode?
[18:50] <pimplife> nikrud:what u mean
[18:50] <whileimhere> sort of.
[18:50] <Gutter_Rat> Real quick question, which I'm sure y'all get a lot.  Is it possible to install KDE into ubuntu and switch back and forth, rather than having to run ubuntu for gnome and then reboot to run kubuntu for kde?
[18:51] <dark_Harmonics> you might want to look into the kiosk stuff for something like that
[18:51] <dark_Harmonics> and restricted desktops
[18:51] <nikrud> nzerox yes, but the last time I compiled a deb was a very long time ago. I'm not the one to advise you through that
[18:51] <dark_Harmonics> i know there is a way just never looked into it
[18:51] <whileimhere> You see when I boot the computer I dont want to need to log in and I want to save as much of the computers system resources for the Advanced MAME which plays arcade games
[18:51] <thesurvivorman> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:51] <thesurvivorman> then choose which session at login
[18:51] <manuel__> could someone tell me which major and minor number have hda0?
[18:51] <Gutter_Rat> thanks, thesurvivorman. :)
[18:51] <dark_Harmonics> whileimehre you need a lightweight system then like XFE
[18:52] <Bruno_> nzerox:  use debuild
[18:52] <nikrud> pimplife well, you're putting ubuntu on some partition, and swap on another. Vista exists on a partition as well. All you have to do is make sure what partition it is, and that that partition is not set for formatting
[18:52] <dark_Harmonics> or XCFE i think
[18:52] <thesurvivorman> np gutter_rat
[18:52] <Flannel> manuel__: hda0 doesn't exist.  hda1 would be hd0,0; if that's what you're looking for.
[18:52] <dark_Harmonics> xubuntu or DSL will save on your system resources
[18:52] <manuel__> Flannel, /dev/hda0
[18:52] <subsume> Is there a menu.lst example I can use in ubuntu? for some stupid reason ubuntu decided not to give me a menu.lst
[18:52] <linuxius> hello! does anyone know how to check if the graphic card is broken?
[18:52] <whileimhere> yeah but I was thinking of something more basic like the console mode
[18:52] <dark_Harmonics> DSL= Damn Small Linux
[18:53] <dark_Harmonics> whileimhere you can install right from the CDs with console only
[18:53] <nikrud> subsume   sudo update-grub should build you one
[18:53] <dark_Harmonics> a text only system
[18:53] <nzerox> Bruno_, hi, debduild sun-java6-source ?
[18:53] <pimplife> nikrud: ubuntu says it will only format the partions i choose but the warning it gives data will be lost on removed partions as well
[18:53] <geek> linuxius: what's wrong with it?
[18:53] <subsume> nikrud I can't even get into my damn system
[18:53] <dark_Harmonics> Anybody know if you need the alternate CD to install a text only system?
[18:53] <whileimhere> yeah but I didnt and I dont want to restart everything.
[18:53] <geek> dark_Harmonics: i think so
[18:53] <Bruno_> nzerox: yeah, download the source and cd to the directory, then use debuild
[18:53] <manuel__> Flannel, well could you give major and minor numbers of any hd? please.
[18:53] <geek> dark_Harmonics: or the server disk
[18:53] <taime1> how can i use metacity window decorator instead of emerald when using compiz-fusion?
[18:53] <manuel__> Flannel, not scsi
[18:54] <dark_Harmonics> whileimhere you can remove your xwindows interface
[18:54] <Bruno_> nzerox: but why would you do that? its on the repos
[18:54] <dark_Harmonics> or just hit alt+f1 on boot
[18:54] <nikrud> pimplife I don't remember ever seeing the alternate saying that data on a disk I didn't set for formatting would lose data
[18:54] <Flannel> manuel__: /dev/hda0 *cannot* exist.  Linux starts numbering at 1, hda1 is the first harddrive, first partition.
[18:54] <HardyOne> taime1, #compiz-fusion
[18:54] <dark_Harmonics> and it will load a console only interface
[18:54] <nikrud> pimplife s/disk/partition
[18:54] <manuel__> Flannel, ok. it does not exist. may be /dev/hda1?
[18:55] <bittu> ryrys hey to open shared files of ubuntu in xp i know. but i want do it vice-versa i.e want to open shared files of xp in ubuntu??
[18:55] <pimplife> nikrud: oh hold on
[18:55] <nikrud> subsume you can boot the live cd, chroot into the hard disk install, and run update-grub
[18:55] <linuxius> geek:I couldn't install the proprietary driver (long story), so I use the vesa driver. the screen shows wrong pixels that "walk" across the screen... I have a picture of it, but can't put it into the no-paste service...
[18:55] <dark_Harmonics> you can then hit alt+f7 to switch back to your logon screen and logon to the graphical interface if you so choose
[18:55] <subsume> nikrud: ok
[18:55] <manuel__> Flannel, i need the device numbers to create two nodes on an initrd image
[18:55] <Flannel> manuel__: hda1 is hd0,0-- You take the linux one, convert the letters into numbers (a=1, b=2, etc) then subtract one from each.
[18:55] <geek> linuxius: i had that before with an intel video card without its own drivers.
[18:55] <nikrud> !grub subsume the basic steps are outlined here, in the recovering ubuntu link
[18:56] <nikrud> !grub | subsume the basic steps are outlined here, in the recovering ubuntu link
[18:56] <ubotu> subsume the basic steps are outlined here, in the recovering ubuntu link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[18:56] <pimplife> nikrud: i think it means that if i choose to delete a partion as well
[18:56] <manuel__> Flannel, just a "ls /dev/hda*" will show you major and minor _device_ numbers
[18:56] <ubuntu> hi. My wifi is not working. I look into restricted drivers and it says this about my wifi: "Enable the Firmware? Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family. While the bcm43xx driver is free, it relies on proprietary firmware. Without that you will not be able to use your wireless card." I'm just wondering is it updating Ubuntu's device driver or updating wifi's hardware driver (like bios update) ?
[18:56] <pimplife> nikrud: but thats what it says tho
[18:56] <nikrud> pimplife hm. Data loss is not a good thing:  'I think' is not something I want to base advice on
[18:56] <linuxius> geek: oh... so what did you do?
[18:57] <geek> ubuntu: the former
[18:57] <geek> linuxius: install the correct driver? ;p
[18:57] <dark_Harmonics> ubuntu i have a similar card working with madwifi but i would research what that supports. Also, you could use ndiswrapper.
[18:57] <mad_max02> !ati
[18:57] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[18:57] <Flannel> manuel__: I'm not sure I have any idea what you're talking about.
[18:57] <dark_Harmonics> ubuntu for ndiswrapper you just download the windows driver and point it at the inf
[18:57] <pimplife> nikrud: but only the 2 partions i choose showed up in the list to be formated so i think im good
[18:58] <linuxius> geek: well I can activate it now, it works ok, when I shut the laptop down and restart it, I have the problem with this driver too...
[18:58] <nikrud> ubuntu it goes out to the net and gets firmware for your device
[18:58] <nikrud> pimplife that is good, yes.
[18:58] <nzerox> Bruno_, its not showing up on mine apt-cache list's

[18:58] <geek> linuxius: well, your graphics card isn't broken
[18:58] <mad_max02> where is that ccc wiki for ati driver install ???
[18:58] <geek> ;p
[18:58] <manuel__> Flannel, do you know how to see files on a console (terminal)?
[18:58] <nikrud> pimplife but I'd suggest going back and checking ....
[18:58] <nzerox> Bruno_, i can see sun-java6-jre, but not sun-java6-bin
[18:59] <manuel__> Flannel, xterm, gnome-terminal or something like that?
[18:59] <nikrud> mad_max02 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[18:59] <Flannel> manuel__: of course.  I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for.
[18:59] <linuxius> geek: I can be sure of that?
[18:59] <geek> linuxius: reasonably sure
[19:00] <manuel__> Flannel, doing "ls -l /dev/scd*" on my computer gives me:
[19:00] <bittu> hey to open shared files of ubuntu in xp i know. but i want do it vice-versa i.e want to open shared files of xp in ubuntu??

[19:00] <sharkp> I've a problem with gparted
[19:00] <geek> linuxius: from my experience, drivers
[19:00] <ubuntu> nikrud : After frimware, could there be any problem on windows using this card ?
[19:00] <manuel__> Flannel, i need the 11 and 0 but from an IDE disc, not scsi
[19:00] <sharkp> I can't create a ntfs partition
[19:00] <sharkp> which could be the problem?
[19:00] <mad_max02> nikrud, I found it but thanks. thats the one :D
[19:00] <Bruno_> nzerox: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[19:01] <linuxius> ok... so I should contact the nvidia forum?
[19:01] <DrHalan> what is the best version to use with the eee. i saw a nice config with KDE4 on youtube
[19:01] <Flannel> manuel__: What version of Ubuntu are you using? (scsi disks are sd* not sc*)
[19:01] <nebnav> eeebuntu of try eeedora (fedora)
[19:01] <Jon855> DrHalan: you might will have to experiment with that
[19:01] <manuel__> Flannel, it is a cdrom
[19:01] <sharkp> I've a problem with gparted
[19:01] <sharkp> I can't create a ntfs partition
[19:01] <sharkp> which could be the problem?
[19:01] <evilbug> hey,i want to install ubuntu on an external hdd and it won't let me,why?
[19:01] <stefg> sharkp: ntfs support in linux is limited, because it's a proprietary filesystem. just make an empty partition and format it with windows
[19:02] <Flannel> manuel__: If you're using anything post-dapper, all of your disks have been mapped to scsi, none are hd*
[19:02] <subsume> Can someone please explain to me why my monitor would go black giving "OUT OF RANGE" error as soon as I login to ubuntu desktop??
[19:02] <Jon855> subsume: wrong configuration settings
[19:02] <sharkp> stefg: but my problem is strange
[19:02] <amenado> Flannel-> note that grub still uses  hd  post-dapper..
[19:02] <nikrud> subsume incorrect vertial/horizontal settings
[19:02] <manuel__> Flannel, i'm creating a filesystem to boot another system, that's why i need ide numbers
[19:02] <sharkp> I haven't had problem since now with ntfs partitioningù
[19:02] <rahmen> I need help to get direct rendering working: http://pastebin.com/m1cb17a70
[19:03] <Bruno_> nzerox: did you run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin?
[19:03] <manuel__> Flannel, so you don't have hd* either?
[19:03] <stefg> sharkp: on the other hand: why would you want an ntfs partition? there's smarter ways for a 'shared' drive between win and linux
[19:04] <nikrud> rahmen have you tried installing any drivers for your card yet?
[19:04] <Scunizi> manuel__, even my IDE drives are recognized as "sd"x""
[19:04] <evilbug> the hdd won't even show up in the list.
[19:04] <subsume> nikrud: Jon855 in ubuntu or the monitor???
[19:04] <Scunizi> manuel__, no longer using hda, hdb etc.
[19:04] <rahmen> nikrud: I've tried lots of things :] ppl say System -> Admin -> RDM should work but it doesn't for me =/
[19:04] <sharkp> stefg: couse on windows ext3  isn't enough supported...
[19:04] <amenado> Scunizi-> except that grub still uses hdX
[19:05] <Jon855> subsume: in the ubuntu because it had the wrong range of the monitor
[19:05] <Flannel> amenado: grub uses hd, but thats entirely different.  grub uses hd even for scsi drives.
[19:05] <subsume> Jon855: how can i correct that if i can't login?
[19:05] <manuel__> Scunizi, ok, thanks i will look for in google
[19:05] <Jon855> meaning it's running at a resolution which isn't supported by the monitor so it gives that
[19:05] <Scunizi> amenado, didn't realize that..
[19:05] <Jon855> safe booting?
[19:05] <nzerox> Bruno_, i have tried that
[19:06] <Mophand2> Anyone here know how to install Ubuntu 7.10 using Netboot from Windows XP, without an Internet connection?
[19:06] <nikrud> rahmen hm. rdm select ati driver, reboot, run fglrxinfo , make sure it's using ati 8.37.6 driver, install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , log out and in, go to sys->prefs->appearance, effects tab. Works
[19:06] <Bruno_> nzerox: and, what error did it give you?
[19:06] <stefg> !ext3 | sharkp , try this:
[19:06] <geek> Mophand2: not easily
[19:06] <ubotu> sharkp , try this:: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[19:06] <dury> hi there dear channel :)
[19:06] <notxgl> Hello
[19:06] <nzerox> Bruno_, one second
[19:06] <Jon855> Mophand2: isn't netinstall an installation method which requires internet to do so?
[19:06] <Piero_Scaruffi> nikrud: happy easter
[19:07] <sharkp> stefg: ok, but NOW my problem is  writing a partition with ntfs
[19:07] <geek> Mophand2: i suppose that you can install with wubi then move it over with LVPM
[19:07] <nikrud> Piero_Scaruffi and to you :)
[19:07] <nzerox> Package sun-java6-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:07] <nzerox> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[19:07] <nzerox> is only available from another source
[19:07] <nzerox> However the following packages replace it:
[19:07] <nzerox>   sun-java6-jre
[19:07] <nzerox> E: Package sun-java6-bin has no installation candidate
[19:07] <FloodBot2> nzerox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:07] <sharkp> so
[19:07] <Piero_Scaruffi> :)
[19:07] <notxgl> i have tried to install xgl and i destroyed my xorg.conf. i reinstalled nvidia drivers but i still have problems, they dont load. any solutions?
[19:07] <sharkp> I need a solution, not a workaround
[19:07] <dury> anyone has skype installed?
[19:07] <subsume> I burned a copy of ubuntu desktop but it has no "Live CD" options for recovering my system. wtf?
[19:07] <nzerox> apologies! i didnt realise how long the post was
[19:07] <stefg> !ntfs | sharkp
[19:07] <sharkp> I've solved with ntfsprogs
[19:07] <sharkp> thanx anyway
[19:07] <nikrud> subsume when you boot the hard disk, hit escape when you see something about grub. Then choose recovery mode
[19:07] <ubotu> sharkp: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[19:08] <geek> subsume: what version of ubuntu desktop? the standard one is a live cd.. unless you got alt
[19:08] <subsume> 7.10 non-alt
[19:08] <subsume> nikrud: with cd or without?
[19:08] <amenado> notxgl-> you can try creating one with X -configure :1   from a console
[19:08] <nikrud> subsume without. booting the hard drive
[19:08] <subsume> nikrud: escape does nothing
[19:09] <nathan42100> question, is it possible to download the xubuntu binaries and set up grub to boot them or do I have to do a whole separate install of it?
[19:09] <stefg> sharkp: see what i mean? you have no chkdsk for ntfs in linux, so any unclean shutdown of windows will give you trouble in linux.... rather use ext3 and the win-ext2/3 driver. Less trouble, believe me
[19:09] <sk8ball> so is xchat still the best irc client for X?
[19:09] <subsume> Error 15 then *die*
[19:09] <theunixgeek> what's that phigh thing to fix screen resolution, again?
[19:09] <nikrud> subsume yes it does. It shows the grub menu. You're not hitting it at the right time. And you said you get far enough along to get no screen, so disk not found seems odd
[19:09] <Mophand2> Is there an easy way to Upgrade Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.10. Because when I use the Upgrade Command, nothing happens. It doesn't alert me of any upgrades.
[19:09] <Bruno_> nzerox: check the sources
[19:09] <theunixgeek> nathan42100: #xubuntu
[19:09] <akaineko> hello everyone
[19:10] <nathan42100> Ok, sorry unixgeek, kinda figured it was universal
[19:10] <nzerox> Bruno_, i went through and uncommented the universe and multiverse repos and did apt-get update
[19:10] <amenado> Mophand2-> would you like to go directly from 6.10 to 7.10? you can download the iso and boot from it from your hd,
[19:10] <dury> anyone has skype installed, I have a problem when I want to make a call, a window appears saying "Problem with Audio Playback"
[19:10] <subsume> nikrud: spamming escape does nothing
[19:10] <theunixgeek> nathan42100: well, what do you mean to get grub to boot from them?
[19:11] <jrib> Mophand2: I would wait a month for 8.04 to be released so you can upgrade directly to it.  Otherwise, you will have to go 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10
[19:11] <Sinnerman> how do i configure synaptic to look for the ubuntu dvd in a different dvd drive, if i've got two of them?
[19:11] <nikrud> nathan42100 sudo ap-get install xubuntu-desktop , you can choose xubuntu under options->session on the login screen
[19:11] <jrib> !upgrade > Mophand2 (read the private message from ubotu)
[19:11] <gamergod131> I have to press the quotation key twice on my logitech g15 to make the quotes show up on the screen, how would I fix this?
[19:11] <Bruno_> nzerox: thats wierd
[19:11] <nikrud> subsume then you have a very strange install.
[19:11] <nathan42100> thanks nikrud
[19:11] <nathan42100> I assume you mean apt-get
[19:11] <nzerox> Bruno_, i agree
[19:11] <nikrud> nathan42100 yes ;)
[19:11] <subsume> nikrud: I have a stock 7.10 install
[19:11] <Bruno_> nzerox: well, you can build the bapacke if you want
[19:11] <Bruno_> nzerox: download the source
[19:11] <dury> is there a channel about SKYPE
[19:11] <nikrud> subsume during the boot, very early, it will say someting about grub 1.5 on the screen. That's the time to hit escape
[19:11] <subsume> nikrud: my cd options do not include 'rescue a broken system'
[19:12] <Mophand2> Ok, I'll do that then, thanks alot.
[19:12] <subsume> nikrud: you are not hearing me. i hit escape like crazy. it happens too fast. error15
[19:12] <nathan42100> nikrud...it says it is going to remove something....
[19:12] <nathan42100> totem-gstreamer
[19:12] <nikrud> nathan42100 remove what? does it say it's installing totem-xine ?
[19:12] <subsume> My options are 'Start or install' 'Start in safe graph' 'install with driver update' OEM install' check cd for def' mem test' boot from 1st hd'
[19:12] <subsume> nothing about rescue or live cd or anything
[19:13] <akaineko> would anyone be kind enough to talk a newcomer and a first time ubuntu user through some things to do first ?
[19:13] <nathan42100> nikrud yes, will gstreamer affect regular ubuntu usage?
[19:13] <nzerox> Bruno_, sun-java6-source: Depends: sun-java6-jdk (>= 6-03-0ubuntu2) but it is not installable
[19:13] <nathan42100> can I just reinstall it?
[19:13] <nzerox> Bruno_, this thing hates me!
[19:13] <Bruno_> nzerox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[19:13] <amenado> Mophand2-> would you like to go directly from 6.10 to 7.10? you can download the iso and boot from it from your hd, few steps you have to do
[19:13] <Bruno_> nzerox: brb
[19:13] <ompaul> subsume, that is the alt(ernative) install disk not the live CD so those options will not exist
[19:13] <nikrud> nathan42100 many people prefer the xine version, cuz it plays dvd menus and gstreamer doesnt'
[19:13] <Scunizi> akaineko, ask away one question at a time as clear as possible and someone will usually pickup and answer.
[19:13] <nathan42100> well, do they conflict?
[19:14] <akaineko> Scunizi: thanks, i'll keep it in mind
[19:14] <Sinnerman> what i basically want to do is get synaptic/apt to look into /dev/scd0 or /dev/hda for the gutsy dvd rom, if it does not find it in one of the drives, to look in the other. anyone know how?
[19:14] <nikrud> nathan42100 only one or the other can be installed at one time. you still call it with totem, and all the ubuntu setups will work normally
[19:14] <aoupi> xbindkeys has stopped working (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60732/) how do I find out which application has bound the keys?
[19:15] <subsume> ompaul: that's not true. the alt CD uses a text based installer--this did not
[19:15] <Bruno_> nzerox: can i see a copy of your sources? pastebin.ca
[19:15] <nathan42100> nikrud, will all the apps still work for the most part? (specifically wine)
[19:15] <nzerox> sure
[19:15] <nzerox> Bruno_, just be one moment, i just did a apt-get dist-upgrade, need to wait for that to finish
[19:15] <ompaul> subsume, the alt cd does not start with text it is before the text based bit
[19:16] <nikrud> nathan42100 yes
[19:16] <amenado> Sinnerman-> i think you use deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted  in sources.list
[19:16] <Bruno_> nzerox: ok
[19:16] <nzerox> Bruno_, thought it might help :P
[19:16] <Scunizi> akaineko, throw a question out there
[19:16] <subsume> ompaul: I'm just going to download it again, wasting much time. I'm not using the alt CD
[19:16] <Bruno_> nzerox: its worth a try
[19:16] <nathan42100> good. I'm having trouble getting BF2 to install on 7.10 and I want to see if the new version and/or xubuntu will at least let it install
[19:16] <Flannel> Sinnerman: use apt-cdrom to add it, and it ought to work regardless of the drive, from what I understand.
[19:16] <Sinnerman> amenado: how do i do that?
[19:16] <nzerox> Bruno_, i thought so
[19:16] <Bruno_> nzerox: /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:17] <mj> Can someone help me use the Restricted Drivers Manager? I am trying to install fglrx in Ubuntu Gutsy, and I can't get it to appear on the restricted drivers manager
[19:17] <subsume> ompaul: the alt cd as the word 'ALTERNATE' in the filename and I'm sitting here looking at the iso I burned.
[19:17] <nzerox> Bruno_, ta
[19:17] <nikrud> nathan42100 you're using hardy? if so, #ubuntu+1 will get you up to date answers for your release
[19:17] <akaineko> the thing is that i just installed ubuntu 7.10, did updates and stuff. i am new linux user, was all my life on windows. So the problem is - my ubuntu is freezing at random time. mouse is working, but i can't click or anything. keyboard [caps lock] indicator is on, and does not respond if i press it.
[19:17] <Sinnerman> Flannel: well, it works now if i put the dvd in one drive, but not the other. it keeps expecting in the original drive i installed ubuntu from.
[19:17] <amenado> Sinnerman-> thats the entry it puts to your sources.list when you use a gui to add the cdrom as source
[19:17] <ompaul> subsume, and it says?
[19:17] <nathan42100> nikrud, I meant new version of wine
[19:17] <nathan42100> im using 7.10
[19:17] <Flannel> Sinnerman: try apt-cdrom add with it in the other drive too.
[19:17] <subsume> ompaul: ubuntu-desktop-i386.iso
[19:17] <nathan42100> ill upgrade when its out of beta
[19:18] <stefg> akaineko: is taht an overclocked system ?
[19:18] <Sinnerman> Flannel: what settings should i pass it?
[19:18] <subsume> woops. forgot 7.10
[19:18] <subsume> wtvr the case, its NOT the alt cd
[19:18] <Flannel> Sinnerman: Nothing I think.  Just pop the CD into the other drive and add that one as well.  The hash might have some drive-specifics in it, I guess.
[19:18] <akaineko> stefg: is that in english ?
[19:18] <nathan42100> huh, thats wierd
[19:18] <nathan42100> nikrud, is is normal for my home folder to open during installation?
[19:19] <stefg> akaineko: is that an overclocked system, did you tinker with bios settings  ?
[19:19] <Sinnerman> Flannel: im looking at apt-cdrom, i notice it has to have a mountpoint.
[19:19] <nikrud> nathan42100 what do you mean, the file manager window opened into home?
[19:19] <nathan42100> yeah
[19:19] <nathan42100> just pop
[19:19] <Strife89> Good afternoon, all. I have a question.
[19:19] <Flare183> nathan42100: that's weird
[19:19] <akaineko> stefg: no, my laptop is virgin in bios.
[19:19] <nikrud> nathan42100 wierd.
[19:19] <Flannel> Sinnerman: no, the mount point is optional.  I'd try it without, just : sudo apt-cdrom add
[19:19] <Flare183> !ask | Strife89
[19:19] <ubotu> Strife89: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:19] <stefg> akaineko: so that might be an acpi problem
[19:19] <Flannel> Sinnerman: If not, then we'll delve into trying with mountpoints.
[19:19] <Sinnerman> Flannel: ok let me try that out.
[19:19] <mj> Can someone help me use the Restricted Drivers Manager? I am trying to install fglrx in Ubuntu Gutsy, and I can't get it to appear on the restricted drivers manager
[19:20] <stefg> !acpi | akaineko

[19:20] <nathan42100> nikrud as far as I can tell not even any new folders
[19:20] <akaineko> stefg: i don't understand. i'm new to all this
[19:20] <Sinnerman> Flannel: i was thinking, the device name would not change, but mountpoints, potentially, can. anyway, let me try without first.
[19:20] <nathan42100> looks like its installed, you said I can switch it in the login screen, right?
[19:20] <nzerox> Bruno_, sigh, i forgot how slow this sparc machine is :)
[19:20] <stefg> akaineko: what make an model is yur laptop?
[19:20] <nikrud> nathan42100 yes. Options->sessions
[19:21] <nathan42100> Ok, i'll be back if it doesnt work
[19:21] <Sinnerman> Flannel: well, that didn't work. it keeps expecting the dvd in /cdrom, which points to /dev/hda.
[19:21] <jester45> could someone please help me fix a dependency problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60779/ im just trying to upgrade
[19:21] <Strife89> When I run certain programs, the application "taskbar" says it's starting the program, but soon after, it stops. This happens especially with games, so I assume that Ubuntu is stopping them from running because it fears the graphic load will slow it down too much. Any suggestions to force it to let the app run anyway?
[19:21] <akaineko> stefg: it's a barebone.
[19:21] <rahmen> After setting ATI driver in RDM ubuntu wants to run in low-graph-mode.. setting resolution back to 1280x1024 the ATI drivers aren't used..
[19:22] <Sinnerman> Flannel: besides, im not adding an additional dvd rom, but the drive. i don't know if that nuance makes any difference in how you achieve it.
[19:22] <Flannel> Sinnerman: looking at /var/lib/apt/cdrom.list, it looks like its all fingerprint based
[19:22] <Bruno_> nzerox: :)
[19:22] <rahmen> I can't remember the nick of the one who gave me advice.. =/
[19:22] <nathan42100> nikrud, I guess i have to completely log out?
[19:22] <Strife89> By the way, I'm using an NVidia TNT2 graphics card, and I'm using restricted drivers for it.
[19:23] <nikrud> rahmen that was me. It's possible you have cruft left over from trying the ati installer from the website?
[19:23] <subsume> Changing my session to Failsafe Gnome does nothing
[19:23] <Integration> hey guys i'm trying to download settings.php after an upgrade because I need to $update_free_access value in my settings.php back to FALSE. However, I get an error on ftp "Error: Failed to open "/settings.php" for writing". Any ideas on how I can download it?
[19:23] <Integration> that's for drupal btw
[19:23] <Sinnerman> Flannel: that still does not tell me where the setting pointing it to /cdrom (/dev/hda) resides, so i can add /dev/scd0 there too, in case that drive does not work or something :(.
[19:24] <amenado> Sinnerman-> curious if it would it work if you repoint /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdX ?
[19:24] <Bruno_> nzerox: hopefully your apt will get fixed, if not you can read more about apt !apt or read the link i gave you to build a .deb
[19:24] <rahmen> nikrud: yeah I guess so.. I've followed a few guides.. how do I get rid of it?
[19:24] <Strife89> I tried running some of the programs in an XFE session. They won't even try to start.
[19:24] <Bruno_> !apt | nzerox
[19:24] <ubotu> nzerox: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[19:24] <nikrud> Integration seems like you are tring to save the file in / , not in home.
[19:24] <stefg> akaineko: what i'm tryinf to tell you is that you may either have a hardware problem, or the 'communication layer' between the hardware and the operating system (called ACPI) does not understand what linux tells it to do
[19:24] <subsume> Can someone please explain to me why my monitor would go black giving "OUT OF RANGE" error as soon as I login to ubuntu desktop? How on earth can I change my settings if I can't even login?
[19:24] <RabidWeezle> !dvd

[19:24] <subsume> There is no graphics safe mode. I tried 'Failsafe Gnome' and it didn't work
[19:24] <nikrud> rahmen not really. That installer has caused many people a lot of greif.
[19:24] <akaineko> stefg: meaning, i have to go back to windows ?
[19:24] <Bruno_> nzerox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[19:24] <nzerox> Bruno_, http://pastebin.ca/954214
[19:25] <amenado> subsume-> you tried getting into  ctrl+atl+f1 console?
[19:25] <Integration> nikrud, i'm using filezilla I'll have to play with the settings so it doesn't try to save to / thanks
[19:25] <rahmen> nikrud: but I theoretically could format the drive again? :P
[19:25] <nathan42100> nikrud....wow, its...different
[19:25] <nathan42100> I like the blue :-)
[19:25] <subsume> amenado: I bet that would work... but I'm not sure what to do from there
[19:25] <nzerox> Bruno_, i'm hoping you can spot a mistake in my sources, compiling will prolly take a week
[19:25] <rahmen> nikrud: I just installed it so wouldn't cause that much problem
[19:25] <nikrud> !clone | nathan42100
[19:25] <ubotu> nathan42100: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate

[19:26] <napii> Email issue; am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[19:27] <amenado> subsume-> so do it, sudo vi xorg.conf to modify it?
[19:27] <stefg> akaineko: that means that it is quite hard to diagnose a hardware problem over IRC (if it is a hardware problem). You could read about boot options and acpi, but best would be to have someone with linux skills right in front of your box. DO you have a local linux user group?
[19:27] <subsume> amenado: forgive me but where does xorgg.conf live?
[19:27] <Sinnerman> amenado: it would work if i repointed /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdX or whatever, but i want to be able to use either one or the other drive without having to manually change which device i want it pointed at each time i put the dvd in. there must be somewhere that tells apt to look into /dev/cdrom - unless it's compiled into it.
[19:27] <rahmen> nikrud: so I should reinstall ubuntu?
[19:27] <amenado> subsume-> in /etc/X11/  dir
[19:27] <nathan42100> nikrud, neither thing works, no matching packages
[19:27] <rahmen> nikrud: I didn't get that last sentence of yours... :]

[19:28] <subsume> amenado: ok...so what is out of range, exactly?
[19:28] <nikrud> rahmen it was a joke based on the clone advice I'd just given you, about a quick way to install the packages you already have :)

[19:29] <mrpockets> HI
[19:29] <Sinnerman> amenado: damn. this is going to be more of a pain that i had anticipated.
[19:29] <fr500> i have a P4 3.0 GHz with a 6800GT
[19:29] <nikrud> !clone | rahmen (this was the source of the joke)

[19:29] <fr500> 720p video playback is very very chhoppy on mys system with linux, works flawless with windows
[19:30] <amenado> subsume-> its either your video card is not putting out the correct rez, or its in blanking mode (no signal coming out of your video),
[19:30] <fr500> any ideas?
[19:30] <fr500> and anyway to display fps on video playback?
[19:30] <nathan42100> :-/ bf2 wont even attempt an install now
[19:30] <stefg> akaineko: have you alredy done the memory check ? This is a boot option when starting the Live CD
[19:30] <nathan42100> something about it not completing
[19:30] <nikrud> marjan no, you can get the xubuntu install disk. Once you have an ubuntu desktop, you can install the xubuntu desktop without an install disk by installing xubuntu-desktop with either synaptic or apt-get
[19:30] <marjan> nikrud: sorry where can i down load the xubuntu desktop
[19:30] <Strife89> The program I'm trying to run has a configuration program (which is separate). In addition, I have a copy of the Windows version. The Windows config runs under Wine, but whena I start the main program, it quits a second later.
[19:30] <subsume> amenado: shouldn't X configure this for me? what can I dpkg-reconfigure to fix this?
[19:30] <Bruno_> nzerox: im sorry
[19:30] <subsume> how the heck shoudl I know what the settings should be.
[19:31] <amenado> Sinnerman-> on the bright side, you know which device is mapped to /dev/cdrom so it would be very easy for you to switch it..some dont even understand the symlink
[19:31] <nzerox> Bruno_, it's not your fault
[19:31] <marjan> i have down load the xubuntu nikrud
[19:31] <askand> Is it possible writing somekind of script to: turn of compiz, start a game, turn compiz back on when game quits? :)

[19:31] <mrpockets> why?
[19:31] <nathan42100> askand, useless comment but almost anything is possible in linux :-)
[19:32] <nikrud> marjan ok, after you've installed xubuntu-desktop , log out and look under options->sessions on the login screen. You should see xfce listed there
[19:32] <Sinnerman> amenado: i know it points to /dev/hda; i need apt and synaptic to go to either /dev/scd0 or /dev/hda (default /dev/cdrom), say, if i'm watching a movie or something.
[19:32] <amenado> subsume-> am a bit weak on X reconfiguration,  try this though from a console..   X -configure :1  and it should create a file called xorg.conf.new and use that for xorg.conf
[19:32] <ompaul> mrpockets, that is your network not the client
[19:32] <rahmen> nikrud: oh.. nice feature :] but I've just installed xchat-gnome and kopete :P
[19:32] <askand> nathan42100: ok could you help me writing one? :)
[19:32] <nathan42100> askand, like I said, useless comment. Sorry :-/ I'd love a copy of it when your are done though
[19:33] <nikrud> rahmen eeww, xchat-gnome . Get a real client, install   xchat  . And whatever anyone says, stay away from irssi :)
[19:33] <Sinnerman> amenado: actually, i don't think it's looking to /dev/cdrom. it's looking at the mountpoint /cdrom/.
[19:33] <rahmen> nikrud: so your advice is to reinstall and then ask you for further commands? :P
[19:33] <amenado> Sinnerman-> i believe apt or synaptic uses /dev/cdrom  and where ever it is pointing to, then it uses that noh?
[19:33] <Strife89> Back to my question: I assume Ubuntu stops programs when it thinks they'll tax my system. Can I force it to let them run anyway?
[19:34] <nikrud> rahmen  write this down:  system->admin->restricted driver , enable ati restricted. reboot. log in, run fglrxinfo and make sure it's using ati 8.37.6 driver. install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , then log out and back in. Go to system->prefs->appearance effect
[19:34] <Spacenett> I have a question please. I have an aetheros wireless card that is detected during the setup of 7.04. But after install wont work

[19:34] <rahmen> nikrud: I'll try xchat next time :] I'm kind of searching for good programs.. I use pidgin on my laptop..
[19:34] <Sinnerman> amenado: nope, to /cdrom/ in the root directory, i think.
[19:34] <subsume> How to upgrade from Feisty to Gusty from command line?
[19:34] <Piero_Scaruffi> text scrolls so fast here amagaw
[19:34] <Piero_Scaruffi> d i will never be helped this way
[19:34] <Piero_Scaruffi> :(
[19:34] <Strife89> Piero, hold on
[19:34] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[19:34] <subsume> And don't tell me apt-get dist-upgrade because that's the equivalent of rm -rf / in Ubuntu
[19:35] <Strife89> What's your MP3 player?
[19:35] <akumar_> subsume, why
[19:35] <Piero_Scaruffi> Creative Zen Touch
[19:35] <stefg> !upgrade | subsume
[19:35] <ubotu> subsume: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:35] <subsume> akumar_: what?
[19:35] <Sinnerman> amenado: using apt-cdrom add gives me this: Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/... so it looks for a mountpoint.
[19:35] <akumar_> nvm subsume jus look at the like
[19:35] <subsume> stefg That doesn't contain command line instructions
[19:35] <amenado> Sinnerman-> i dont know then, haft to look around for some config files for apt and synaptic ...
[19:35] <akaineko> stefg: nope. i just checked the integrity of this cd and installed it. could this freezing up have to do anything with swap ?
[19:35] <Strife89> -> Piero: Does it have separate USB modes?
[19:35] <subsume> akumar_: nein. that doesn't have what i'm looking for.
[19:35] <nathan42100> nikrud, any advice for installing bf2?
[19:35] <frankv> anybody here know anything about grub? i've got this problem where i have 2 seperate disks and 2 bootloaders installed
[19:35] <Piero_Scaruffi> Strife89:  not that i know of
[19:35] <theunixgeek_> I can't get my screen resolution over 800x600. I did the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg thing and enabled restricted drivers, but it won't let me go to 1280x1024. Please help.
[19:35] <akumar_> subsume, what version you on know?
[19:35] <nikrud> nathan42100 what's bf2 ?
[19:35] <nathan42100> I used to get most of the way through the install, now it wont even start the install
[19:35] <nathan42100> a game
[19:35] <subsume> Feisty akumar_
[19:36] <nathan42100> Battlefield two
[19:36] <Chinaski1> hello
[19:36] <nikrud> nathan42100 nope
[19:36] <nathan42100> no one got success on ubuntu afaik, only on openSUSE
[19:36] <Strife89> -> How long did you wait after you plugged it in? Ubuntu may not mount it immedietly.
[19:36] <amenado> Sinnerman-> funny that man pages says it looks for apt.conf  which i dont have and also looks at /etc/fstab
[19:36] <Piero_Scaruffi> Strife89:  about 40 minutes
[19:36] <Strife89> Oh.
[19:36] <Piero_Scaruffi> should i reboot
[19:36] <Piero_Scaruffi> with it
[19:36] <Integration> nikrud, i played with the settings and it worked!
[19:36] <Sinnerman> amenado: i noticed that as well.
[19:36] <Strife89> Possibly.
[19:37] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[19:37] <Strife89> Not yet, though.
[19:37] <nikrud> Integration cool :)
[19:37] <Piero_Scaruffi> i will try it
[19:37] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[19:37] <Chinaski1> i experience very slow graphics while i am playing urbanterror on ubuntu. the windows copy runs flawless. I have an intel gm945 graphics card
[19:37] <akaineko> stefg: nope. i just checked the integrity of this cd and installed it. could this freezing up have to do anything with swap ?
[19:37] <Chinaski1> any help?
[19:37] <Strife89> Check your options.
[19:37] <Bruno_> Piero_Scaruffi: sudo mount /dev/device-name /media/mount path
[19:37] <Piero_Scaruffi> where Strife89
[19:37] <rahmen> nikrud: oki.. I'll get back in here when I'm done.. :] thnx for the help.. hope it works :]
[19:37] <frankv> any bootloader specialists here?
[19:37] <stefg> akaineko: Can be, but not very likely.... my instinct tells me that it is acpi related, and that cpu throttling has something to do with it. Try bootoptions ...  nohz=off
[19:37] <nikrud> Integration you might like to try system->places->networks, and registering the site there. Then you can use the file manager to move files back and forth between machines
[19:37] <Strife89> Try Bruno's suggestion.
[19:37] <Strife89> (03:37:26 PM) Bruno_: Piero_Scaruffi: sudo mount /dev/device-name /media/mount path
[19:37] <Piero_Scaruffi> Bruno_:  i dont see my mp3 anywhere so i cant have a path yet
[19:38] <stefg> !bootoptions | akaineko
[19:38] <ubotu> akaineko: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[19:38] <akaineko> stefg: where is that ?
[19:38] <Strife89> Plug it in and go to the command line to type that in.
[19:38] <stefg> akaineko: see above
[19:38] <amenado> Sinnerman-> well at least on the /etc/fstab  cdrom is defined...so it must be something you have to fool with in udev rules to set those
[19:38] <nikrud> Integration doh, I mean places->connect to server . brain foart
[19:38] <Strife89> Go to go.
[19:38] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[19:38] <Sinnerman> amenado: way above my head, im afraid. :(
[19:38] <mkjackson> hey folks, would anyone know much about mounting remote window shares using samba?
[19:38] <spork969> is it possible for me to move an application from one menu to another?
[19:38] <Integration> nikrud, thanks bud
[19:38] <fr500> meh works fine with xine but i wanted to use elisa which uses gstreamer....
[19:38] <Bruno_> Piero_Scaruffi: go to /dev to check the path of your usb port
[19:39] <Bruno_> Piero_Scaruffi: then go to media and create a folder on which your mp3 player will be mounted
[19:39] <Bruno_> Piero_Scaruffi: /media*
[19:39] <amenado> Sinnerman-> me too for now, im having difficult time grasping udev rules...just inching along for now..
[19:39] <mkjackson> for now I'm putting in $sudo mount -t cifs //jupiter2/D$ /home/mkjackson/WinShare -ousername:$name,password:$pass
[19:39] <nikrud> Integration it's really nice to double click a file in the remote machine and have it open directly into gedit. Then save, and it writes back to the server.
[19:39] <amenado> Spacenett-> which wifi card do you have?
[19:39] <akaineko> stefg: ok, have few more questions, if you are up to it
[19:39] <gamergod131> is it possible to install windows printer drivers in wine?
[19:39] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[19:39] <Sinnerman> amenado: i mean, it _should_ not be that hard to look for a dvd in one drive or another! :P
[19:40] <Flannel> Integration: it's setup (hd1) (after `root (hd1,2)`)
[19:40] <frankv> is this the place to get help with my bootloader issue?
[19:40] <Flannel> Infernalord, even.
[19:40] <Integration> alright thanks
[19:41] <amenado> Sinnerman-> another thing am trying to grasp is events, for example when you do insert the dvd disk in and close the drive, how it detects that and what events it creates so one can use it to script
[19:41] <Infernalord> Flannel:  i will try
[19:41] <Liryc> hi everybody, i would like advise about Mail Server on ubuntu
[19:41] <mkjackson> anyone able to help me mount a windows share using SAMBA (or whatever)
[19:41] <theunixgeek_> Liryc: what about your mail server?
[19:41] <frankv> i've got 2 hdd each with a bootloader installed, how do i get grub to be my main bootloader but still be able to reach windows?
[19:41] <amenado> nikrud-> wonder if the fish:// on kde (konqueror)  can do that?
[19:42] <Sinnerman> amenado: that does sound useful. ok i've just added the mountpoint it creates when hal mounts it. not ideal, but well, let's see if that conflicts with the previous set-up.
[19:42] <nikrud> amenado I've heard people say something works in kde, never run it myself though
[19:42] <JobsSteveJobs> What would be the same or like the same command as 'dtruss' for osx but for ubuntu?
[19:42] <nikrud> JobsSteveJobs what does dtruss do?
[19:43] <amenado> nikrud-> i have not tried it myself to modify and then the auto update to the server side..only to view a file using fish:// protocol
[19:43] <JobsSteveJobs> I can't explain that well but it lets you see what the process is doing
[19:43] <hspaans> amendo: gnome has support a ssh-filesystem
[19:43] <scottONanski> <<<How can I use AIXGL instead of XGL in Ubuntu Hardy?>>>
[19:43] <akaineko> i have Creative SB Live! 24bit USB external soundcard, ubuntu detects it, but i can't make so the sound would be from all my 5.1 speakers. only the front two and subwoofer work. anyone with a solution ? advice even ?
[19:43] <nikrud> JobsSteveJobs I found the man page, and I personally don't know but I'm sure there's some equivalent
[19:43] <JobsSteveJobs> for instance i could see what files it needs so how I would know how to set up a chroot jail
[19:43] <Sinnerman> amenado: well, no, that didn't work either.
[19:43] <amenado> hspaans-> is it very similar to the fish:// protocol used in konqueror? that would be wonderful to integrate to gnome tools
[19:43] <Bruno_> scottONanski: join #ubuntu+1 for hardy things
[19:44] <theunixgeek_> What's the dell ubuntu US support number?
[19:44] <JobsSteveJobs> Shoot
[19:44] <scottONanski> Thanks, Bruno.
[19:44] <hspaans> amenado: fish:// is an implementation for a file system over ssh
[19:44] <amenado> Sinnerman-> sorry to hear..am confident that your know how will get you the answers you seek..
[19:44] <JobsSteveJobs> if you do happen to run accross run but shout it back in this chat room
[19:44] <RabidWeezle> ok, just followed all the instructions on the dvd okayback installation, still no dvd playback, is their documentation behind the times?
[19:44] <nikrud> JobsSteveJobs try asking on #ubuntu+1 , I've seen more developers hang out there since they want beta feedback
[19:44] <Liryc> theunixgeek_, i use postfix ou exim4 and i must create local user for each email user
[19:45] <Liryc> to have /home/maildir directory
[19:45] <theunixgeek_> amenado: he's not a pointer ;)
[19:45] <theunixgeek_> Liryc: what's your native language?
[19:45] <Liryc> french
[19:45] <JobsSteveJobs> Ill try thanks nikrud
[19:45] <Sinnerman> amenado: it probably will. and an answer i don't like after too much looking around :P. it's now defaulting to downloading the file from the net, which it'd never bothered doing before when it couldn't get to the cdrom. so that's a plus. i wish i knew why it's acting like that though!
[19:45] <Bruno_> !fr | Liryc
[19:45] <ubotu> Liryc: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[19:46] <theunixgeek_> uurhg, why can't I join #ubuntu-fr ?
[19:46] <theunixgeek_> :S
[19:46] <bobwhoops> Is there a simple way to add extended attributes to my system? I'm using ext3, if it matters
[19:46] <akaineko> i have Creative SB Live! 24bit USB external soundcard, ubuntu detects it, but i can't make so the sound would be from all my 5.1 speakers. only the front two and subwoofer work. anyone with a solution ? advice even ?
[19:46] <RabidWeezle> has anything changed on dvd playback? I installed everything on mediabuntu... all that, still no dvd playback
[19:46] <nikrud> theunixgeek_ they probably know you :)
[19:47] <RabidWeezle> telling me I STILL don't have the codec's needed
[19:47] <theunixgeek_> nikrud: :P
[19:47] <amenado> Sinnerman-> yeah, i do noticed that if cdrom is active as the source, it does not go to the network to download, and it just says it can not find it in cdrom rather than going to the net as backup procedure
[19:47] <mkjackson> anyone here SAMBA savy?
[19:47] <RabidWeezle> I got libdvdread libdvdcss, w32codecs....
[19:47] <RabidWeezle> xine, mplayer, totem...
[19:47] <theunixgeek_> amenado: again, he's not a pointer :P
[19:47] <Stargazer> Could someone guide me through the process of backing-up my Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[19:47] <jrib> RabidWeezle: reinsert your dvd

[19:48] <amenado> jlewis is it bcm43xx chips?
[19:48]  * nikrud goes off to try to get his wireless working again

[19:49] <pimplife> my sreen resolution wont go higher than 800X600 how can i fix this
[19:49] <amenado> jlewis-> you can type  lspci or lshw -C network   to view what your system detects

[19:54] <orvokki> Hey, I decided to try out nvidia-glx. Any tips on how to go back to the open driver?
[19:54] <akaineko> i have Creative SB Live! 24bit USB external soundcard, ubuntu detects it, but i can't make so the sound would be from all my 5.1 speakers. only the front two and subwoofer work. anyone with a solution ? advice even ?

[20:02] <Jon855> thanks stefg
[20:02] <simplenick> i am using gparted and i cant format the sda1 disk
[20:02] <amenado> Schmiez-> very well
[20:02] <pimplife> what about all those cool plugins how do i get them
[20:02] <ryrys> simplenick, what is the problem? any error?
[20:02] <Schmiez> like, will i be able to get into one of my other computers with windows XP and manipulate files?
[20:02] <amenado> simplenick-> do not partition a mounted partition, unmount it first
[20:03] <evilbug> amenado, no no no.i want to install it on an external hdd because i want to use it on my laptop also.i have a mac and i already have osx and windows working on it.i tried triple booting quite a few times so far but something always go screwed between windows and ubuntu.
[20:03] <defecacy> anyone tried skype on ubuntu 7.10? can't seem to view video
[20:03] <amenado> Schmiez-> sure, there is rdp
[20:03] <Schmiez> great
[20:03] <stefg> simplenick: probably your partition table is broken, or in very bad shape. i'd backup, wipe the disk, do a proper new partition scheme and restore the backups
[20:03] <Schmiez> and the big thing that has kinda held me back from getting it sooner
[20:03] <Schmiez> I have a Zune80
[20:03] <pimplife> what about all those cool plugins how do i get them
[20:03] <Schmiez> if i use virtualbox will i be able to use the zune program?
[20:04] <simplenick> stefg: how?
[20:04] <amenado> evilbug-> what os do you currently have installed on your laptop?
[20:04] <mophead> simple question: how do I find soundconverter?  I know it's "in synaptic" but how do I find and open that?
[20:04] <Bruno_> mophead: Applications > Add/remove > search bar
[20:04] <evilbug> amenado, both mac os and xp pro.
[20:04] <stefg> simplenick: /j #ubuntu-de
[20:05] <simplenick> ryrys: the error is this-> http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/4338/screenshothe0.png
[20:05] <mophead> Bruno_: a-ha!  Thanks!
[20:05] <Bruno_> mophead: np
[20:05] <amenado> evilbug-> then i guess your external hdd has to have those different file systems to use with mac os and xp and linux then
[20:05] <Schmiez> if i use virtualbox will i be able to get my zune to sync with the zune program?
[20:06] <ryrys> simplenick, unmount the volume first, then format
[20:06] <simplenick> thank you
[20:06] <evilbug> amenado, no.as long as i can install ubuntu on this external,i can boot from it with my mac.
[20:06] <amenado> Schmiez-> is zune a windows only program? if you run xp on the virtual box i assume you will have access to it, try it
[20:06] <Bruno_> mophead: if cou cant find what you want there, you can go to synaptic (but close Add/remove first) in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[20:07] <Schmiez> i will as soon as i install ubuntu. I've read around on the forum and seen mixed results. so i'm not completely sure if it will work or not.
[20:07] <pimplife> themes from gnome-look.org will they work in ubuntu just installed or do i need other programs
[20:07] <mophead> Bruno: that's what I tried first :-/ The simple way works, though
[20:07] <amenado> evilbug-> okay.. so go ahead repartition your external  per i suggested
[20:07] <Piero_Scaruffi> Help me please restarting x fails for me and my screenresolution is stuck in 640x480?

[20:08] <pimplife> themes from gnome-look.org will they work in ubuntu just installed or do i need other programs
[20:08] <Bruno_> pimplife: there most themes tell you how to install them in the README
[20:08] <amenado> pimplife-> you can try, if it does not work , you can always remove or de-install yesh?
[20:08] <dury> pimplife: it works
[20:09] <pimplife> cool
[20:09] <simplenick> well, i have to say something to newbies. never ever install xgl. you gonna break your system.

[20:26] <prince_jammys> Piero_Scaruffi: once you paste, copy the url the is now in the url box of your browser
[20:26] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, then you have added some part to the command. An example output is at http://pastebin.com/m5741cf6f. Please double check and pastebin the entire output that you get.
[20:26] <evil_> Hallo
[20:27] <hischild> prince_jammys, i gave him an instruction to use pastebinit.
[20:27] <Bruno_> bune:  are you sure you have the ip correct?
[20:27] <evil_> jemand da
[20:27] <vicp> i cant access my hdd on windows
[20:27] <arooni________> an/joinnnnnnnnn #php
[20:27] <prince_jammys> hischild: oh
[20:27] <amenado> nzerox-> you were able to install the binary though right? its only when you try to start java where it fails?
[20:27] <bune> yes its the same as in ipod touch settings
[20:28] <netham45> what's a tool I can use to extract all the files from an ISO with?
[20:28] <nzerox> amenado, no i cant install
[20:28] <jrib> RavenTrigun: what repositories?
[20:28] <hischild> netham45, you can use archive manager or mount it.
[20:28] <amenado> netham45-> mount it first..then you can cd to the mountpoint and see all the files
[20:28] <netham45> ok, how do I mount it?
[20:28] <kindofabuzz> netham45, you still don't have that thing burned yet?
[20:28] <v3ctor> vicp: it does not show up as a network drive (x:)
[20:28] <netham45> what command should I look at?
[20:28] <Piero_Scaruffi> I am not getting the desired link so what now hischild?
[20:28] <Bruno_> bune: hmm
[20:28] <amenado> nzerox-> sorry, what error were you getting again if you run the binary?
[20:28] <netham45> kindofabuzz, no, it keeps failing.
[20:28] <prince_jammys> !mount | netham45

[20:29] <prince_jammys> netham45: sorry. they changed the factoid
[20:29] <nzerox> amenado, sun-java6-bin can not be installed
[20:29] <prince_jammys> !iso
[20:29] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[20:29] <RavenTrigun> It says that they have all the software for all over the internet that i need but it will be messy to install it off there site so they said Add the Repositorys and you can download them without compiling them and such.
[20:29] <amenado> netham45->  mount /path/to/iso  /mountpoint  -o loop
[20:29] <georgy_28> ! iso master
[20:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iso master - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:29] <kindofabuzz> netham, instead of trying to use the livecd, why don't you just go ahead and install it?
[20:29] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, manually pastebin the output.
[20:29] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[20:29] <amenado> nzerox-> thats the sparc binary?  and you have it as executable by chmod to 755 ?
[20:30] <HorizonXP> hey, using Hardy, but I presume it's the same on Gutsy; I have an external that is not mounting, because it was apparently shutdown improperly. The details say to either mount in Windows, or use the force option; Is there any downside to using the force option? Or should I suck it up and restart into windows?
[20:30] <eduardo> Hello
[20:30] <CaptMorgan> Would this idea work? I have a Generic 20" LCD TV that the manual says optimal resolution is 1280x768, in screens and graphics the brand isnt listed, if I were to find a namebrand model with similar specs could I just put it in and it would display properly? Right now all 4 sides have some outside the viewable area and its at 1280x720
[20:30] <Itaku> amenado: i double click it and it doesnt start
[20:30] <bune> :(
[20:30] <nzerox> amenado, no thats with apt-get
[20:30] <gamergod131> Hello, I have no audio output on my sytem. When I try to listen to metallica, it says the device is busy
[20:30] <RavenTrigun> I think it adds the "Uncommon" applications to your add and remove list.

[20:30] <nzerox> amenado, with the binary i get ./install.sfx.5950: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[20:30] <amenado> Itaku-> you are slow in responding, which problem were we attempting to resolve here?
[20:30] <Itaku> im on live cd and the installer wont start how do i fix that?
[20:30] <RavenTrigun> !repositorys
[20:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about repositorys - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:30] <hischild> HorizonXP, you can just force mount it.
[20:30] <Itaku> i just used up arrow

[20:31] <HorizonXP> Bruno_: I know that channel, but I'm asking here because it's something that hasn't changed.
[20:31] <grandpa> oh, and yeah i'm trying to run it on gutsy...
[20:31] <amenado> nzerox-> is the file  executable now?
[20:31] <Piero_Scaruffi> hischild: http://pastebin.ca/954289
[20:31] <HorizonXP> hischild: what does force mount do anyway?
[20:31] <akaineko> can anyone tell me how to switch from one keyboard layout to another ?
[20:31] <eduardo> guys I am just setting up an ubunty but when i run apt-setup it keeps "failing to fetch"
[20:31] <eduardo> what's up?
[20:31] <amenado> Itaku-> you double clicked the install icon and you get nothing or an error?
[20:31] <Itaku> nothing
[20:31] <hischild> HorizonXP, it'll reset the logfile where it states that it wasn't cleanly unmounted. For me i've done it multiple times and i haven't experienced trouble with it. Just add -o force to the mount line.
[20:32] <amenado> Itaku if you right click on the icon, what do you get?
[20:32] <gamergod131> Oh yeah, Ie tried rythembox and amarok, no dice
[20:32] <subsume> Hello room. So it appears I am a moron because I just can't figure out how to get a 7.10 disk that has any kind of System Rescue. Apparently all links I click take me to the 'alternative' even if I specify that they aren't
[20:32] <HorizonXP> thanks hischild :D
[20:32] <gamergod131> I´ve
[20:32] <Itaku> normal file stuff, open, copy, rename
[20:32] <subsume> Also, It appears that the iso's I download don't say 'alternate' but in fact secretly are.
[20:33] <amenado> Itaku can you select open?  and lets see if it runs
[20:33] <nzerox> amenado, yes it is, the file extracts and then tries to install and throws this error
[20:33] <subsume> or CDs that I put into my machine magically become alternatie
[20:33] <grandpa> jrib, you there?
[20:33] <amenado> !how | Itaku
[20:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about how - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:33] <amenado> !who | Itaku
[20:33] <ubotu> Itaku: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[20:33] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, ok i'm at a total loss on that end. In this case you'll have to do it manually. Type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy the entire content on pastebin. Do not use sudo so you don't edit it by accident.
[20:34] <Itaku> amenado: i get normal file stuff, open, copy, rename..............................
[20:34] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok hischild
[20:34] <akaineko> can anyone tell me how to switch from one keyboard layout to another ? is it rocket science ?
[20:34] <kindofabuzz> !tab kindofabuzz test
[20:34] <amenado> nzerox-> can you try to edit that file and look at that line 5950? care to paste that..
[20:34] <gamergod131> Oh, when when I test sound in wine, it says audio output fialed, and ideas?
[20:34] <bune> Does anyone else know why gutsy recognizez my jailbroken ipod touch as a camera?
[20:34] <Itaku> kindofabuzz: pm the bot to test
[20:34] <amenado> Itaku can you select open?  and lets see if it runs
[20:34] <musashi> anyone know a good solution to broadcom bcm4328 driver install on hardy? i've been trying for two days with no luck.
[20:34] <grandpa> is there a special channel for wireless support in ubuntu????
[20:34] <Itaku> amenado: i tried it doenst work
[20:34] <kindofabuzz> what does !tab do?
[20:34] <nzerox> amenado, sure
[20:34] <Deusdies> Hmm...it seems that I can't update to BETA of Hardy Heron
[20:34] <gamergod131> For keyboard go to sytem, preferences, keyborad
[20:35] <subsume> Can someone please tell me how to recover my system from a totally errant GRUB install?
[20:35] <kindofabuzz> !tab
[20:35] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[20:35] <Piero_Scaruffi> http://pastebin.ca/954295 there it is hischild
[20:35] <amenado> Itaku-> try to reboot again the liveCd..maybe it just flaked on you..
[20:35] <kindofabuzz> ohhh
[20:35] <Deusdies> how do I update to BETA release of hardy ? :(
[20:35] <amenado> grandpa-> what kind of wifi card do you have? what chips?
[20:35] <Itaku> !hardy | Deusdies
[20:35] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, ok. give me a second while i edit it.

[20:36] <Jaymac> Deusdies, update-manager -d
[20:36] <subsume> Why does my install disk have OEM install options? Is it the alternate?
[20:36] <kindofabuzz> Deusdies: sudo apt-get upgrade?
[20:36] <georgy_28> subsume, : yes
[20:36] <amenado> grandpa-> what have you done so far to troubleshoot?
[20:36] <Deusdies> kindofabuzz, tried that, tough...wait a sec ;)
[20:36] <subsume> georgy_28:  I didn't download the alternate. I can show you the page I used. Its NOT the alternate
[20:36] <gamergod131> has anyone had this problem?
[20:36] <grandpa> amenado, i have no idea where to start beside ndiswrapper.
[20:36] <grandpa> amenado, i looked in forums etc.
[20:36] <subsume> georgy_28: also, I just downloaded another ISO from another page and its the same KB!
[20:36] <nkriz> I am trying print a document on a printer connected to another computer on my network. Can't find the printer or connect to it. Help?
[20:36] <grandpa> amenado, it doesn't autodetect does it?
[20:37] <Deusdies> kindofabuzz, Jaymac : one question: HOW do I check which version I have installed?
[20:37] <amenado> grandpa-> read up some more then..specifically your brand of wifi card
[20:37] <georgy_28> subsume, : normally only the alternate cd have the oem option

[20:37] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, Ok we are going to have to reconfigure your xorg.conf. If you look into it, you'll see that there's only one resolution it.
[20:37] <RavenTrigun> How do i mount my Hitman Contracts and be able to play it?
[20:37] <subsume> georgy_28: well maybe I'm an indiot incapable of reading? I'm just trying to fix my system but I can't rescue from this stupid CD
[20:37] <nzerox> amenado, thats line 5950 :)
[20:37] <gamergod131> Have you tried wine?
[20:38] <gamergod131> raven?
[20:38] <nzerox> amenado, its a .bin fine, how do i unpack it, lol
[20:38] <RavenTrigun> I have Wine but how do i mount it?
[20:38] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok ty hischild
[20:38] <Deusdies> Jaymac, bash: lsb-release: command not found
[20:38] <gamergod131> Try double-clicking the exe on the disk
[20:38] <amenado> nzerox-> never mind then, i dont think i can resolve that, i thought that line is still in the ascii visible portion still, aparently its in the binary already..so cant really figure that one out
[20:38] <grandpa> amenado, it is atheros
[20:38] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok hischild
[20:38] <subsume> My disk says "THERE IS NO DEDICATED RESCUE MODE ON THIS CD"
[20:38] <subsume> Is that normal?
[20:38] <v3ctor> Deusdies: lsb_release
[20:38] <Jaymac> Deusdies, sorry lsb_release -a
[20:38] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, we'll fix that. So: first a backup:  cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorgbackup
[20:38] <nzerox> amenado, no problem, thank you for the help
[20:38] <jrib> !wine > RavenTrigun (read the private message from ubotu)
[20:38] <grandpa> amenado, the poster mentions madwifi..
[20:39] <georgy_28> subsume : to repair your system you can use system rescue CD. they have a lot of tools in it to help you to fix you linux
[20:39] <amenado> nzerox-> the sun java bin usuually have the ascii portion at the beginning for the script..but this is far beyond that area
[20:39] <jrib> RavenTrigun: search appdb.winehq.org
[20:39] <grandpa> amenado, its usb..
[20:39] <Itaku> is there a rm module that i can block rm -rf / command?
[20:39] <nkriz> can anyone help me access a printer over a network?
[20:39] <Deusdies> Jaymac, v3ctor : it just says I have hardy - doesn't say if I have Alpha 6 or Beta installed :S
[20:39] <amenado> grandpa well i think atheros support is native on ubuntu...
[20:39] <nzerox> amenado, ep, i need to extract it then i can look at the file
[20:39] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok done that
[20:39] <Pici> !final | Deusdies
[20:39] <ubotu> Deusdies: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Hardy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console.

[20:39] <amenado> nzerox->  i dont know if you can decompress it
[20:40] <gamergod131> The error that amarok gives me is: Audio output unavailable; the device is busy.
[20:40] <gamergod131> xine parameters:
[20:40] <akaineko> is there any other channels ubuntu related ?
[20:40] <bune> Bruno may i pm you? i think i may know why its not working
[20:40] <Jaymac> Deusdies, see #ubuntu+1 for Hardy help
[20:40] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, the next instructions will cause your graphical stuff to shutdown. Write down the next 2 lines and then execute it. : sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[20:40] <ehsan> kl
[20:40] <Bruno_> bune: yes
[20:40] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, and then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:40] <sweetsinse> why does the window borders and desktop not respect the mouse theme
[20:40] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, then you can type sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start
[20:40] <Deusdies> Thanks everyone!
[20:40] <subsume> ok
[20:40] <kindofabuzz> sweetsinse: i been wondering that too
[20:41] <kindofabuzz> it actuall did work for me once
[20:41] <grandpa> amenado, so do i download ndiswrapper or something?
[20:41] <sweetsinse> yeah dude i cant figure it out
[20:41] <amenado> grandpa-> do you get any status if you do  iwconfig ath0 ?
[20:41] <sweetsinse> i cant find anyone else with the problem in forums
[20:41] <subsume> For the 10th or so time, How can I make Ubuntu ACTUALLY install GRUB instead of skipping it during install? My disk has no rescue mode--its NOT the alternate
[20:41] <unop__> Itaku, only root can issue an rm over / -- so unless you aren't careful with your root account, you have nothing to worry about
[20:41] <sweetsinse> subsume its on the last screeen of the install, under advanced
[20:41] <kindofabuzz> yup
[20:41] <amenado> subsume take a lil breather ..the idea may come to you or us in a few...
[20:41] <sweetsinse> subsume right before the whole thing starts
[20:41] <akaineko> can anyone tell me how to switch from one keyboard layout to another ?
[20:41] <Glock7> anyone connect a phone as modem in ubuntu
[20:42] <subsume> sweetsinse: can I install it on a pre-installed system or do I have to go  through the whole thing again??
[20:42] <subsume> amenado: I've been here for hours playing around with ubuntu's defunct tools.
[20:42] <sweetsinse> do you not have a grub at all?
[20:42] <gamergod131> Go to keyboard under system>preferences
[20:42] <grandpa> amenado, no
[20:42] <subsume> sweetsinse: No, ubuntu decided not to install it
[20:42] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, when you have executed the dpkg-reconfigure command you'll get a lot of questions. Almost every question is good. For driver, select fglrx, and be sure to select the proper resolution when asked to.
[20:42] <sweetsinse> what other operating sys do you have on there
[20:42] <subsume> Apparently GRUB isn't necessary, yet I get an Error 15
[20:42] <subsume> I had edubuntu
[20:42] <amenado> grandpa-> which ubuntu version?
[20:42] <kindofabuzz> akaineko: https://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html
[20:42] <eduardo> How do I print out all the settings obtained via DHCP? ifconfig doesn't print things like DNS and gateway
[20:42] <grandpa> amenado, gutsy
[20:42] <kindofabuzz> google ftw
[20:43] <zainerkin> anybody any good on aircrack on ubuntu
[20:43] <Bruno_> bune: ?
[20:43] <bune> yes
[20:43] <kindofabuzz> wait that's xubuntu, probably still appiles
[20:43] <CaptMorgan> How do I know if I am using the right nvidia driver? Is there just one that covers all?
[20:43] <sweetsinse> xchat isnt honoring the mouse theme right now in the chat window
[20:43] <subsume> Nevermind the fact its ambiguous whether I have the 'Alternate' CD or the regular. I specifically didn't download the alternate and yet I don't have system rescue options
[20:43] <DeadLy_sp_> hi !
[20:43] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, what do you need to do with your computer?
[20:43] <subsume> So I downloaded it again and yet the ISO I got is the SAME kb
[20:43] <sweetsinse> honestly im not sure how to install grub manually
[20:43] <amenado> grandpa in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` do you recognize the madwifi firmware files there?
[20:43] <sweetsinse> boot from livecd
[20:44] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, get my resolution right, all 4 sides have some missing
[20:44] <kindofabuzz> sweetsinse: yeah i've done some research too, and can't find a solution
[20:44] <subsume> sweetsinse: It doesn't have a livecd
[20:44] <DeadLy_sp_> ls -1 | awk '{print NR "\t" $0}'
[20:44] <unop__> eduardo,  you can use the route command to check how dhclient configures your default-route/gateway, /etc/resolv,conf has info on DNS
[20:44] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, if you don't need 3d acceleration, the default graphics driver will suffice - if you want to play games or have proper 3d accelerated compiz install the nvidia driver in the Restricted Manager
[20:44] <grandpa> amenado, what do you mean?
[20:44] <akaineko> all i needed to know - here is currently no graphical tool to switch the keyboard layout in Xubuntu
[20:44] <kindofabuzz> lol damn i'm banned from ##linux
[20:44] <amenado> grandpa->  ls -la /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
[20:44] <sweetsinse> you must have the alternate then?
[20:44] <sweetsinse> all the thers have livecd?
[20:44] <grandpa> amenado, my name?
[20:44] <subsume> sweetsinse: I downloaded the damn thing twice
[20:44] <LjL-Temp> kindofabuzz: then try to not get banned from here too - staying ontopic is a good start :)
[20:44] <prince_jammys> akaineko: you're using xubuntu?
[20:44] <DeadLy_sp_> anyone can help to me with $ ls -1 | awk '{print NR "\t" $0}'
[20:44] <subsume> sweetsinse: I can show you the link I clicked on. my ISO does NOT say 'alternate'
[20:45] <Bruno_> bune: what do you think is the problem?
[20:45] <amenado> grandpa-> type that on a terminal
[20:45] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, I did use the one in restricted drivers so that means I have the correct one for me
[20:45] <grandpa> amenado, uname is that that command?
[20:45] <grandpa> aha
[20:45] <sweetsinse> mm

[20:45] <amenado> grandpa-> thats the whole command
[20:45] <DeadLy_sp_> "\t" make a \n :s
[20:45] <gamergod131> How do I fix the sound on my 7.10 ubuntu install. When I try to listen to .mp3ś in amarok or rhythm  box, it always gives me this message about how it is busy, but I have nothing playing
[20:45] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, that means you have the proprietary nvidia driver, yes.
[20:45] <hischild> subsume, what is the name then of your iso?
[20:45] <kindofabuzz> Vo1: no java installed?
[20:45] <subsume> hischild: jesuschrist. its ubuntu-7.10-desktop.iso
[20:45] <grandpa> amenado, k now what am i looking for?
[20:45] <sweetsinse> my xfce panels dont respect the mouse theme ether
[20:46] <sweetsinse> annoying
[20:46] <Vo1> i insttaled sun java jre 6
[20:46] <amenado> grandpa-> something that is related to atheros chips
[20:46] <bune> bruno?
[20:46] <amenado> grandpa-> thats why i suggest you read up some more on ubuntu+atheros+madwifi
[20:46] <grandpa> amenado, well, i think i recognize a driver that i rmemeber.
[20:46] <akaineko> how to find out if swap is on ?
[20:46] <Bruno_> bune: yes?
[20:46] <gamergod131> the heck, never mind
[20:46] <grandpa> amenado, zd11
[20:46] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, does System>Preferences>Screen Resolution fix your problem?  Or perhaps System>Administration>Screens and Graphics...
[20:46] <gamergod131> it just magically started working
[20:46] <bune> did you get that pm? :)
[20:46] <grandpa> amenado, zd1211'
[20:47] <gamergod131> I guess metallica does heal all things ;)
[20:47] <felina> anyone know where to go for Mint?
[20:47] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, also, if it is a desktop monitor it will probably have an auto-configuration button - that always does the trick for me
[20:47] <grandpa> amenado, i think that is the generic driver.
[20:47] <grandpa> amenado, now what? :P
[20:47] <Bruno_> bune: no, make sure you add the _ at the end. Anyway, if its not working just tell m here
[20:47] <amenado> grandpa-> you can also check whats in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/net
[20:47] <sweetsinse> akaineko look at your gnome-system-properties i think
[20:47] <subsume> Ubuntu is the most frustrating thing ever.
[20:47] <sweetsinse> run from command
[20:47] <Mahalo> Anybody know the best way to test if you chroot jail is working?
[20:47] <amenado> grandpa-> you can also check whats in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless  too
[20:47] <subsume> Why in god's name does my install CD throw me into a root shell?
[20:47] <unop> akaineko, cat /proc/swaps
[20:47] <sweetsinse> there ya go
[20:47] <felina> subsume: not really. Vista is the most confusing thing ever.
[20:47] <bune> i think i used sudo ipod-touch-mount which causes error and it says to clean out
[20:48] <sweetsinse> thats a better way im sure
[20:48] <sweetsinse> vista is dogmeat
[20:48] <Malik_> can some1 help me i got a huge problem with ubntu
[20:48] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, no it is currently running at 1280x720 my manual says 1280x768, its a Insignia (best buy brand) 20" LCD TV with HDMI, auto detect puts it at 800x600
[20:48] <bune> but im not sure if i will screw my ipod or not because im not sure it its mounted correctly
[20:48] <gamergod131> Try a different mirror or something, idk
[20:48] <grandpa> amenado, it says they are directories.
[20:48] <sweetsinse> bune doesnt amarok handle ipods?
[20:48] <sweetsinse> or gtk-pod
[20:48] <amenado> grandpa-> yes, but the chip name is related to those dir names
[20:48] <felina> anyone know where to go for Mint?
[20:48] <Bruno_> bune: you cant screw it unless you have a root shell in your ipod and type rm -rf
[20:48] <Bruno_> bune: you can always boot it into restore mode
[20:49] <Bruno_> !justask |Malik
[20:49] <sweetsinse> peace out
[20:49] <kindofabuzz> later sweet
[20:49] <Jaymac> felina, go to irc.spotchat.org and connect to #linuxmint.com
[20:49] <ubotu> Malik: 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. :-)
[20:49] <Malik_> i installd it before and it worked finne then one day i got a lot of erroes when i logged on and some of my cool effects were gone, after i restarted my backfround and my files were gone after that ubuntu didn't load now thta i try doing a reinstallation it freezes to
[20:49] <unop> Bruno_, i've had gtkpod ruin my ipod after it seemingly corrupted the ipod's database -- but that was with an older version of gtkpod
[20:49] <rahmen> nikro, did you help me just a few hours ago? can't remember the nickname.. =/
[20:49] <grandpa> amenado, i recognized only one driver.
[20:49] <grandpa> amenado, now what.
[20:49] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, try setting it up in Administration>Screens and Graphics
[20:50] <Piero_Scaruffi> hischild: the screen got stuck when i did the sudo /etc/init.d/? dm nothing happend basically so i had to reboot using ctrl+alt+delete then i booted in to recovery mode and did xfix and now when i start i can change resolution again only i am getting a crash from compiz.real
[20:50] <Malik_> so i can't reinstall it now cause it freezes during installation
[20:50] <pimplife> i ran the Autodetect Script for monitor but dont know which chipset to choose
[20:50] <gamergod131> Subsume, are you sure that you are not clicking the check  box that talks about the alt desktop cd?
[20:50] <Piero_Scaruffi> *stop*
[20:50] <Bruno_> unop: but then you boot it in restore mode
[20:50] <amenado> grandpa-> which one?
[20:50] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, can you explain "a crash from compiz.real" a bit better?
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> Malik_: Have you tried the alternative installcd/
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> ?
[20:50] <jrib> gamergod131: just have him give you the md5sum
[20:50] <akaineko> unop: /dev/sda2                               partition       2048276 23984   -1
[20:50] <Malik_> yes
[20:50] <Malik_> i tried 3 diffrent cds
[20:50] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, I have been but my brand isnt listed so I go to "Generic" and 1280x768 isnt an option
[20:51] <Odd-rationale> Malik_: Where does it freeze?
[20:51] <Piero_Scaruffi> well i get a message in the top bar that says compiz.real has crashed
[20:51] <felina> I just installed Mint, and it screwed up my gfxboot menu configuration. How do I get it back?
[20:51] <grandpa> amenado, zd1211 its really close to a driver i saw earlier called zd1211b
[20:51] <Malik_> on reteirving eject
[20:51] <Piero_Scaruffi> i dont know if its related
[20:51] <Malik_> and the live cd doesn't even run after it loads
[20:51] <artenius> felina: ask in a Mint helpl chan
[20:51] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, have you tried to restart X?
[20:51] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, after you get the message? it might just be a one time thing.
[20:51] <felina> artenius: irc.spotchat.org will not connect.
[20:51] <grandpa> amenado, it might be close enough?
[20:51] <subsume> gamergod131: of course I'm not clicking that box!
[20:51] <amenado> grandpa->  paste this in pastebin   the results of   ifconfig; iwconfig; lshw -c network
[20:51] <pimplife> i ran the Autodetect Script but dont know which chipset to choose
[20:52] <subsume> gamergod131: I tried as a test to click that box and the filename is different. it contains the name ALTERNATE
[20:52] <Piero_Scaruffi> hischild:  i could restart x it got stuck after line: Running local boot scripts ( /etc/rc.local)
[20:52] <amenado> subsume you dont have any other linux installed right?
[20:52] <bune> ill try the directions then when i come back thanks guys
[20:52] <Piero_Scaruffi> couldnt*
[20:52] <Bruno_> bune: np
[20:52] <subsume> amenado: ubuntu was installed previously
[20:52] <unop_> akaineko, so, there you go -- thats your swap device in use
[20:52] <amenado> subsume-> and you can not run that previous install anymore?
[20:52] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, your resolutions are fixed ... but for the rest i'm at a total loss
[20:52] <felina> c'ya guys... I got it Thanks.
[20:53] <subsume> amenado: nope. dumps me into a shell for some reason
[20:53] <grandpa> amenado, http://pastebin.com/db525f22
[20:53] <subsume> amenado: I am burning a new disk but i know it won't do me any good
[20:53] <MS_> /server irc.staticbox.net
[20:53] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok ty for your help hischild
[20:53] <Odd-rationale> Malik_: You ckecked the md5sums of your iso?
[20:53] <nicksimple> Hello, i just installed ubuntu. I have a second HDD and in my last install i was able to open it, now with the new installation i am getting an error. can you check and tell me if its possible to fix it?http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/5376/screenshotgnomemountbd1.png
[20:53] <akaineko> unop: what does "priority -1" means ?
[20:53] <Malik_> its now that i tried 3 diffrent ubuntu installation cds
[20:53] <amenado> subsume-> maybe try a different mirror? that one you are using maybe not be good? try it anyways
[20:53] <Malik_> its not that*
[20:53] <hell_> j #ubuntu-se
[20:53] <subsume> amenado: Its the main ubuntu download site. If they can't get right they need to rm -rf ubuntu.org
[20:54] <subsume> amenado: I can link you if you want
[20:54] <subsume> amenado: if they really can't link to the right iso there they need to close shop, seriously.
[20:54] <Vo1> :'(i installed eclipse but not runing because error ={ "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/java" (No such file or directory) } i installed sun java jre6
[20:54] <amenado> subsume i dont really know, so dont get so pissy on me
[20:54] <unop_> akaineko, iirc, the lower the priority, the more the device gets used when the kernel needs to swap memory content -- it's only really useful if you have multiple swap partitions
[20:54] <Bruno_> subsume: still you should try downloading it again, it might be corrupted for some strange reason...
[20:54] <amenado> subsume i suggested already you take a lil breather..
[20:55] <Parsec300> nicksimple, is it a RAID array you are trying to mount?
[20:55] <subsume> amenado: meh, sorry buddy
[20:55] <nicksimple> Parsec300, normal HDD
[20:55] <subsume> Bruno_: I did download it again...its not corrupt that makes no sense. unless it randomly corrupted the bits which turn it into an alternate CD
[20:55] <Parsec300> Is it NTFS? nicksimple
[20:55] <gamergod131> Just try a diff mirror or something
[20:55] <gamergod131> I can upload my .iso to rapidshare if you want
[20:55] <skaka> hi
[20:55] <akaineko> unop: thanks. you're a help.  would you know about configuring sound devices ?
[20:55] <grandpa> amenado, hows it going?
[20:56] <grandpa> gamergod131, that'll take forever right?
[20:56] <unop_> akaineko, errm, depends on what kind of configuration's needed
[20:56] <Bruno_> subsume: from where are you downloading, can i have the link?
[20:56] <skaka> how use lang java in ubuntu
[20:56] <nicksimple> Parsec300, gparted says its ntfs
[20:56] <skaka> ?
[20:56] <gamergod131> I´ll just use another comp
[20:56] <jrib> subsume: what is the md5sum for the iso you have?
[20:56] <unop_> skaka, you mean you want to program in java?
[20:56] <whitehat2> hi, can anyone tell me where I can find a tutorial about fan switching? my laptop is overheating =/
[20:57] <mwnn> Does ubuntu 7.04 come with a default firewall (other than iptables)
[20:57] <whitehat2> /proc/acpi/fan is empty
[20:57] <gamergod131> oh you mean downloading, yes, it will w/o a rapidshare account
[20:57] <jrib> mwnn: no
[20:57] <Parsec300> nicksimple, perhaps it is a good idea to boot into windows XP, do the chkdsk -f thing on it from the commandline and check it again in Linux. Perhaps there is an error on there that Linux can't fix.
[20:57] <Odd-rationale> mwnn: iptables. that all
[20:57] <gamergod131> I can do mediafire if you want
[20:57] <Malik_> Oh man UBUNTU is giving me a headache!!!!!!!!
[20:57] <mwnn> jrib: thanks
[20:57] <artenius> skaka: use the synaptic package manager to Install sun-java5-jdk from the “Multiverse” repository
[20:57] <LupoBluAlfa> hello
[20:57] <Parsec300> nicksimple, do you know how to get into the commandline in XP?
[20:57] <nicksimple> Parsec300, i don't have windows
[20:57] <amenado> subsume  or anyone honestly if you can look at the inside of that ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso and look for isolinux/isolinux.cfg  it does have the oem install in the menu...look for yourself
[20:57] <LupoBluAlfa> yooooo
[20:57] <Piero_Scaruffi> hischild:  my current xorg.conf still has one display mode so is it necessary to change that?
[20:57] <LupoBluAlfa> hello
[20:58] <subsume> Bruno_: sure buddy. I downloaded it twice. One from http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso and the other time from http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
[20:58] <akaineko> unop: if i have a soundcard that ubuntu 7.10 detects and it works fine, but not fully. i have 5.1. speakers, but only two front speakers work. any idea how to make it work from all the five speakers ?
[20:58] <Malik_> it does hav OEM install
[20:58] <Malik_> but wat is OEM
[20:58] <nicksimple> Parsec300, gparted saw me some informations about the disk: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/6248/screenshotinformationabbm1.png
[20:58] <subsume> amenado: I don't have Rescue a broken system options!
[20:58] <Parsec300> nicksimple, perhaps you should download the Hiren's bootCD. It has a lot of useful tools for you on there. It is self-bootable.
[20:58] <LupoBluAlfa> what are you doing?
[20:58] <subsume> amenado: does that not come with it anymore?
[20:58] <grandpa> ameando, you still there?
[20:58] <whitehat2> hi, can anyone tell me where I can find a tutorial about fan switching or something else to cool my laptop? laptop is overheating... /proc/acpi/fan is empty
[20:58] <LupoBluAlfa> my?
[20:58] <amenado> subsume am just pointing out to everyone that even though you have the desktop iso, it does have the oem install option on the menu per that file i mentioned
[20:59] <grandpa> amenado, that link work?
[20:59] <amenado> grandpa yes..its amenado btw
[20:59] <lazarus> is this the ubuntu channel?
[20:59] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, does it say the resolution that is 640x480 or some other low resolution or the proper one?
[20:59] <Parsec300> nicksimple, http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
[20:59] <Bruno_> subsume: you could order a cd...
[20:59] <artenius> Malik_: OEM = (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
[20:59] <amenado> grandpa->  i asked for ifconfig; and  iwconfig   too
[20:59] <LupoBluAlfa> nessuno parla italiano?
[20:59] <subsume> Bruno_: yeah, I have time for that
[20:59] <nicksimple> Parsec300, and what can i do with this cd?
[20:59] <reikalusikka> how to reset my xorg.conf?
[20:59] <grandpa> amenado, oops
[20:59] <subsume> So let me get this straight
[20:59] <LupoBluAlfa> NESSUNO SPIK ITALIAN
[21:00] <LupoBluAlfa> ?
[21:00] <subsume> Does the desktop install REALLY have a 'Rescue' option or doesn't it?
[21:00] <grandpa> amenado, all you got was ifconfig?
[21:00] <subsume> For real?
[21:00] <jrib> !it | LupoBluAlfa
[21:00] <ubotu> LupoBluAlfa: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[21:00] <mortuis99> HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
[21:00] <amenado> grandpa yes
[21:00] <unop_> akaineko, errm, i'm not really sure -- i'd try two things, check the volume control to see if there are individual controls for each of the speakers and to verify that there are more specific driver modules for the particular soundcard (check the alsa and manufacturer websites)
[21:00] <Induane> One question, I am unable to navigate firefox to any pages that use SSL.  Also Pidgin will not connect to MSN connections due to lack of an SSL library.  I'm running Gutsy, fully up to date.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
[21:00] <Piero_Scaruffi> 640x480@60 hischild
[21:00] <mortuis99> is there a way to add mreo ide HDs other than the 2 from the MB?
[21:00] <reikalusikka> how to reset my xorg.conf?
[21:00] <LupoBluAlfa> GRAZIE
[21:00] <Induane> I've tried reinstalling most of the ssl libraries in the package manager
[21:00] <Induane> to no avail
[21:00] <mortuis99> MORE that is
[21:00] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, but can you or can you not switch resolutions?
[21:01] <grandpa> amenado, lo = no and etho = no wireless
[21:01] <Piero_Scaruffi> yes i can hischild
[21:01] <akaineko> unop_:  thanks, i'll do  that
[21:01] <mluser> Can someone tell me if I still have to use the 'Alternate Install CD' in order to have grub installed into another partition other than the first one?
[21:01] <akaineko> unop_:  do you use wine ?
[21:01] <Piero_Scaruffi> but maybe not on the next boot
[21:01] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, then it's ok to leave.
[21:01] <amenado> subsume what am saying is the isolinux.cfg which the liveCD uses has that entry in the menu selection, the entries are:  live, xforcevesa, driverupdates, oem, check, memtest, hd
[21:01] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok
[21:01] <unop_> akaineko, i try not to
[21:01] <subsume> amenado: Yeah, gotcha
[21:01] <amenado> grandpa  iwconfig  please paste it
[21:01] <unop_> akaineko, but sometimes it's needed
[21:01] <subsume> Look guys, my install disk does NOT have rescue options. Is this normal as of 7.10?
[21:01] <Piero_Scaruffi> ty hischild\
[21:02] <hischild> Piero_Scaruffi, yw
[21:02] <grandpa> amenado, that is what it said.
[21:02] <subsume> My system also wasn't setup with a menu.lst for grub (!!!)
[21:02] <gamergod131> Subsume, are you just trying to install ubuntu?
[21:02] <subsume> gamergod131: yepo......
[21:02] <subsume> a fresh install gave me GRUB ERROR 15
[21:02] <grandpa> amenado, lo        no wireless extensions.
[21:02] <grandpa> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[21:02] <gamergod131> Insert a kill disc or something
[21:02] <unop_> subsume, i dont think there are any particular rescue modes on an ubuntu CD -- you usually rescue a system by booting up the CD and then chrooting into the installed filesystem
[21:02] <amenado> grandpa okay..
[21:03] <gamergod131> Then to fresh install
[21:03] <reikalusikka> how to reset my xorg.conf?
[21:03] <subsume> gamergod131: hmmm ok
[21:03] <lazarus> will ubuntu devlopers make thier own web browser
[21:03] <subsume> lazarus: I sure hope not!!!
[21:03] <lazarus> why
[21:03] <netdur> I have internet access, I go to google and search something, I can talk over messengers (like here)... and that's all, everything else is not accessible, what's my problem?
[21:03] <unop_> lazarus, it'd be a waste of time
[21:03] <Parsec300> nicksimple, you can do about anything. Repartition non-destructively, recover lost files, reset passwords, data destruction, repair bad sectors, repair drives (certain failures), repair partitions (tables), that kind of stuff.
[21:03] <whitehat2> hi, can anyone tell me where I can find a tutorial about fan switching or something else to cool my laptop? laptop is overheating... /proc/acpi/fan is empty
[21:03] <amenado> grandpa so your ndiswrapper have not installed your wifi driver, am not familiar with ndiswrapper now, its been a long while.. try ndiswrapper -l  and tell me what it list?
[21:03] <hischild> netdur, can you give us an example of what does not work?
[21:03] <Parsec300> nicksimple, it should be able to fix that partition on your drive.
[21:03] <gamergod131> Firefox web browser is fine
[21:04] <lazarus> why would it be a waste
[21:04] <gamergod131> Yes
[21:04] <netdur> hischild: I can't access slashdot.org
[21:04] <Jaymac> lazarus, there are already several decent web browsers available
[21:04] <grandpa> amenado, its not installed
[21:04] <gamergod131> Opera and Firefox are great browsers
[21:04] <nicksimple> hmm
[21:04] <hischild> netdur, so some sites are not accessible?
[21:04] <jrib> !grub > subsume (read the private message from ubotu)
[21:04] <lazarus> firefox crashes
[21:04] <Jaymac> lazarus, Firefox, Konqueror, Opera...
[21:04] <Bruno_> subsume: install again?
[21:04] <gamergod131> Ubuntu one would be pointless
[21:04] <mluser> Can someone tell me if I still have to use the 'Alternate Install CD' in order to have grub installed into another partition other than the first one?
[21:04] <Induane> whitehat2 are you sure that stuff is enabled in your bios?
[21:04] <amenado> grandpa so there is your clue, so may i suggest to google for tutorials on ndiswrapper and your athxxx
[21:05] <gamergod131> All browsers crash
[21:05] <netdur> hischild: all web sites, but google and messengers
[21:05] <subsume> jrib: I wasn't installing windows!!
[21:05] <jrib> subsume: it doesn't matter
[21:05] <nicksimple> Parsec300, so , which file should i download?
[21:05] <subsume> jrib: ?!? you read link?
[21:05] <lazarus> microsoft have one why not ubuntu
[21:05] <amenado> netdur do you have a firewall active?
[21:05] <jrib> subsume: yes
[21:05] <jrib> (ie I read more than the title)
[21:05] <netdur> amenado: no
[21:05] <gamergod131> IE = terrible
[21:05] <Jaymac> lazarus, and do you think Microsoft's offering is any good?
[21:05] <unop__> lazarus, because there are already many good functional web browsers out there that are widely used and supported, why would ubuntu want to invent the whell yet again?
[21:05] <whitehat2> Induane, no, i'm not =/
[21:05] <Parsec300> nicksimple, you should download the whole bootCD. Burn it and boot from it.
[21:05] <KalEl> hi... which port should i forward to get remote access to my comp through vnc?
[21:05] <hischild> lazarus, like m$ has internet explorer, ubuntu has firefox.
[21:05] <whitehat2> whitehat2, the only way to check this is restarting?
[21:05] <Parsec300> KalEl, 5900
[21:06] <jrib> subsume: you are correct that there is no "rescue option" menu item on the desktop cd
[21:06] <unop__> KalEl, 590x
[21:06] <whitehat2> Induane, the only way to check this is restarting?
[21:06] <KalEl> ok thanks!
[21:06] <gamergod131> At the most they may help mozilla, but certainly not create there own
[21:06] <amenado> netdur, can you kindly paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig;  cat /etc/resolv.conf;  and route -ran  ? let see that give us any clues
[21:06] <Jaymac> lazarus, the Ubuntu developers concentrate on making the system more functional - reinventing the wheel by developing a new browser when there are already several perfectly good ones available is a waste of valuable time
[21:06] <Timmothy> Irg. Whenever I attempt to switch my screen resolution to 640x480 (from 800x600) my monitor says out of frequency range, but I -know- I can use that resolution, I've used it before.
[21:06] <nikrud> KalEl   sudo netstat -tlnp
[21:06] <akaineko> unop_:  are you using the newest ubuntu 7.10 ?
[21:06] <lazarus> ere nope why do you think i am using ubuntu
[21:06] <mortuis99> is there a way to add additional IDE HDs other than the 2 on from the MOBO?
[21:06] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, do you think if I found a name brand monitor with my screen size and resolution I could just tell ubuntu its that monitor?
[21:06] <unop__> akaineko, indeed
[21:06] <netdur> amenado: ok, wait reddit.com is accessible too
[21:07] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, you could try.  I've had mixed success with the Screens and Graphics app
[21:07] <KalEl> it says :::5900
[21:07] <amenado> subsume what am saying is the isolinux.cfg which the liveCD uses has that entry in the menu selection, the entries are:  live, xforcevesa, driverupdates, oem, check, memtest, hd   <-- as you can see no recovery on the list
[21:07] <gamergod131> My quotation must be pressed twice for it to show up on screen, any ideas?
[21:07] <subsume> jrib: I can't even mount my hard drive. /dev/hda* doesn't even exist
[21:07] <akaineko> unop__:  had any stability issues with it ?
[21:07] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, you could also try hacking your xorg.conf (AFTER backing it up of course)
[21:07] <grandpa> amenado, i'm installing ndiswrapper atm.
[21:07] <subsume> amenado: gotcha, thanks
[21:07] <gamergod131> I have a logitech g15
[21:07] <grandpa> amenado, how do i run it
[21:07] <KalEl> is there a telnet & ftp server that runs on the ubuntu machine?
[21:07] <grandpa> amenado, and see if it works
[21:07] <jrib> subsume: it's not sda?
[21:08] <subsume> jrib: who knows which one is the boot?
[21:08] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, I have tried and failed, I don't know enough about vertical and horizontal syncs etc
[21:08] <jrib> subsume: huh?
[21:08] <nemlah> hello everybody
[21:08] <amenado> grandpa-> ndiswrapper? i dont know, i never installed it manually, i think mine came along with the stock install, try apt-get install ndiswrapper
[21:08] <subsume> jrib: sda is there, but how do I know which one is the boot partition?
[21:08] <nemlah> a quick question
[21:08] <unop__> akaineko, errm, there are a few minor glitches but none that really affect stability, more of hwo things are configured which you can always change
[21:08] <nemlah> how can i boot into safe graphics mode from the HH beta AMD64 installation disc
[21:08] <nicksimple> Parsec300, there is no file to download at hirens boot cd
[21:08] <nemlah> ?
[21:08] <unop__> akaineko, but i suppose all distros are the same that way
[21:09] <gamergod131> Is my problem a keyboard layout thing?
[21:09] <netdur> amenado: are you sure about "route -ran"?
[21:09] <Jaymac> CaptMorgan, what is your monitor brand/model?
[21:09] <mortuis99> !ide
[21:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:09] <subsume> From FSTAB, how can I tell which partition is my boot partition?
[21:09] <CaptMorgan> Jaymac, Insignia NS-LTDVD20
[21:09] <jrib> subsume: how many partitions do you have?
[21:09] <subsume> 3
[21:09] <subsume> sda1 sda2 sda5
[21:09] <hischild> subsume, it's the one that is mounted at /boot, if you don't have one, it's mounted at /
[21:10] <lordleemo> CaptMorgan: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169700 nice xorg gui editor very easy to use  may help you with settings
[21:10] <subsume> hischild: dude. I'm on a rescue disk nothing is mounted at boot
[21:10] <Parsec300> nicksimple, hold on
[21:10] <unop__> subsume, if fstab doesn't explicitly have an entry for /boot -- then /boot exists under the / partition
[21:10] <nicksimple> ok
[21:10] <nemlah> anyone?
[21:10] <MartianLobster> is there someway to get a listing of everything that I have apt-get installed?
[21:10] <CaptMorgan> lordleemo, thanks gonna look into that
[21:10] <subsume> unop_so why did ubuntu give me 3 partitions....1 for swap, 1 for /.....?
[21:10] <nemlah> hardy beta safegraphics mode?
[21:10] <unop__> MartianLobster, dpkg -l

[21:11] <gamergod131> opera
[21:11] <unop__> subsume, thats probably how you installed ubuntu -- anyway, your /boot exists under /
[21:11] <hischild> subsume, dude, in fstab it shows you mount locations. Go check 'gan
[21:11] <nikrud> subsume simplest method is   sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt , inspect contents. rinse and repeat
[21:11] <lazarus> chrashes
[21:11] <Induane> whitehat2 I believe so
[21:11] <[dcr]> Hey, is there anyway to add a default user that does NOT need a password to login?
[21:11] <gamergod131> Constantly?
[21:11] <subsume> hischild: I'm lookin in fstab. did you read my original question?
[21:11] <Induane> you need to make sure that acpi is enabled in your bios and also that you aren't booting with a noapic or noacpi option
[21:12] <unop__> [dcr], run the gdmsetup command
[21:12] <Induane> whitehat2: also be sure that hardware monitoring is enabled s
[21:12] <akaineko> unop__:  did you have freezing of the system thing ? when you can't do anything, just the mouse pointer moves around.
[21:12] <subsume> great. now I can't unmount. device is busy.
[21:12] <mluser> Can I install grub into another partition (sda7 instead of sda) with the desktop installer?
[21:12] <unop__> [dcr], you can use it to configure a user to log on automatically
[21:12] <hischild> subsume, sda is there, but how do I know which one is the boot partition? ... so yes ...
[21:12] <skaka> hi i am need book free ubuntu (pdf)
[21:12] <whitehat2> Induane, all this in bios, right?
[21:12] <[dcr]> unop__: can you explain that to me in private chat or more out here? i dont really know much about the gdmsetup options

[21:13] <sz90> Is there a way to make any changes to gnome's appearance permanent (such as font size)?
[21:13] <Timmothy> Irg. Whenever I attempt to switch my screen resolution to 640x480 (from 800x600) my monitor says out of frequency range, but I -know- I can use that resolution, I've used it before.

[21:14] <nikrud> AboSamoor type  alt-f2  metacity --replace  , should do it (after bootup, of course)
[21:14] <sz90> FullMon-T, just available size and format can be gotten from df
[21:14] <nikrud> FullMon-T df
[21:14] <unop__> [dcr], i dont use gnome, therefore i'm not sure i can walk you through it -- just look around, there's options to have a user log in automatically

[21:23] <subsume> but of course I get errors
[21:23] <bilbo> ok non lo sapevo. Grazie
[21:23] <sjovan> honkkopf: that's because you need the manager, and beryl is so early 2007... You need compiz manager if you have 7.10
[21:23] <amenado> grandpa->  ndiswrapper -l  tells you what?

[21:27] <grandpa> amenado, so it is hopeless?
[21:27] <amenado> grandpa-> you want an eta? hehehe..
[21:27] <ysth1> Is there somewhere a list of video cards and how they fare with ubuntu?
[21:28] <grandpa> amenado, if it is hopeless, i guess i know the eta?

[21:28] <nikrud> ysth1  nvidia > ( ati ~ intel)
[21:28] <grandpa> amenado, k thx
[21:28] <grandpa> amenado, i appreciate your help
[21:28] <amenado> grandpa typically those usb dongle are hard to get working..
[21:28] <Jaymac> ysth1, you could try here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards
[21:28] <CaptMorgan> lordleemo yeah
[21:28] <subsume> jrib: the error upon running grub-install is "Your /usr is broken; please fix it before calling this wrapper!"

[21:29] <grandpa> bye.
[21:29] <amenado> grandpa likewise..enjoy
[21:29] <aoupi> ysth1: I don't know how updated it is though
[21:30] <lordleemo> CaptMorgan: bit strange i left mine empty and its ok let me check m8
[21:30] <Jaymac> aoupi, it was updated 10 days ago according to the footnote :)
[21:30] <unikon> is there anyway to add more streams to Tunapie the shoutcast tuner
[21:30] <aoupi> Jaymac: :)
[21:30] <ysth1> Jaymac/aoupi: I poked around there but didn't find some of the models I was looking for (don't have the list handy atm, though)
[21:30] <kindofabuzz> tunapie? lol
[21:32] <FullMon-T> nikrud & Jaymac: Ok, there's a new problem. I have another partician
[21:32] <lordleemo> CaptMorgan: u are correct i just saved anyway and seems to work
[21:32] <goose|laptop> if I were going to use Ubuntu for a server for games (Halo, Battlefield, ect) should I use regular ubuntu, xubuntu, other..?
[21:32] <CaptMorgan> lordleemo, oh ok, thanks
[21:32] <warddr> goose|laptop, the server version
[21:33] <hischild> goose|laptop, depends ... do you need it for anything else? if you use the server, you can save resources because you don't use a WM etc
[21:33] <sjovan> kindofabu: so do you need help or what?
[21:33] <jrib> subsume: no, I can't explain it. (It's supposed to).  You should probably file a bug.  Tell the room about your error and what you did to get it
[21:33] <lordleemo> CaptMorgan: i made a mistake using it but the restore feature is great
[21:33] <goose|laptop> warddr, I was hoping for something with a GUI interface. I just put the server edition on the computer I plan on using, and have no idea how to work off only command prompts
[21:33] <kindofabuzz> sjovan: ?
[21:33] <goose|laptop> hischild, file storage and game servers
[21:33] <Guardia1> Hello, I have 2 Ubuntu servers, one is in my house, and one is in a datacentre, the snag I have is I need my home server to be able to get some information when it needs it from the SQL Database on the datacentre server.  Problem is that its port 3306 is blocked, anyone have a way around this?
[21:33] <sjovan> kindofabu: with the emerald problem...
[21:33] <chazco> Hi... is it possible to make Kaffeine the default player for DVDs? Managed to associate OGM but cant do DVD the same way...
[21:34] <jrib> subsume: did you run the option "check cd for defects" before installing?
[21:34] <warddr> goose|laptop, if you want a desctop manager and don't lose to much resources you should go for xubuntu
[21:34] <kindofabuzz> i didn't have n emerald problem
[21:34] <subsume> yes
[21:34] <goose|laptop> warddr, thanks
[21:34] <warddr> goose|laptop, but if you don't use is it's better to shutdown the desktopmanager
[21:34] <amenado> Guardia1-> who is blocking it? your data center?
[21:34] <warddr> goose|laptop, but you don't have to reinstal
[21:35] <Guardia1> amenado > Yes they block port 3306
[21:35] <subsume> so I guess what you're going to do is tell me I need to install the base system again
[21:35] <warddr> goose|laptop, you can install a gui on the server version
[21:35] <subsume> even though it didn't work last time.
[21:35] <unop__> Guardia1, if you have SSH access to the server, you can always tunnel traffic in through it to access port 3306
[21:35] <goose|laptop> warddr, how can I do that?
[21:35] <subsume> oh, that and it takes forever.
[21:35] <sjovan> kindofabu: ah, sorry mate. miss read your question :/
[21:35] <kindofabuzz> goose|laptop: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:35] <kindofabuzz> or xubuntu-desktop
[21:35] <warddr> goose|laptop, give me a sec
[21:35] <goose|laptop> kindofabuzz, thanks
[21:35] <goose|laptop> warddr, kindofabuzz showed me how
[21:35] <amenado> Guardia1-> what accesses do you have in your data center to allow this to get through?
[21:36] <goose|laptop> warddr, unless it's something else than sudo apt-get
[21:36] <kindofabuzz> goose|laptop: you just wanna install desktop on a server then what i said is right
[21:36] <aetaric> i jusr removed /etc is there a way to get it back?
[21:36] <amenado> Guardia1-> rather what ports is available to connect from outside?
[21:36] <Guardia1> unop > how do i get my server to do that automatically, as i have a bit of software that is trying to connect like this: "datacenterserverip;3306;msyqlusername;mysqlpass;dbtoconnect2"
[21:36] <goose|laptop> kindofabuzz, much thanks
[21:36] <LinuxNIT> i have two files in my home dir. one is called this "????????" but if i try to delete it then it says file not found how can i get rid of it?
[21:36] <unop__> aetaric, have a backup?
[21:37] <sjovan> honkkopf: so did you get it to work?
[21:37] <warddr> goose|laptop, the way kindofabuzz told it is ok
[21:37] <goose|laptop> warddr, much thanks
[21:37] <sjovan> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). how did you read the error code again? haven't been infront of my computer for many months now
[21:37] <Guardia1> i can also connect to the server from my desktop using terminal, like ssh -Y username@serverip, so im assuming that it supports ssh.
[21:38] <aetaric> unop__:not yet i just got all the way back to 7.10 and i was trying to install dellomsa before i made the backup
[21:38] <FullMon-T> nikrud & Jaymac: Ok, there's a new problem. I have another partician that isn't being detected. I can't mount it if I can't identify it.
[21:38] <unop__> Guardia1, once you have an SSH tunnel setup -- you'll need to change that line to "localhost;3306;msyqlusername;mysqlpass;dbtoconnect2"
[21:38] <subsume> haha. i love how in Ubuntu there's a 30% chance windows you select just won't open, like FF or a terminal
[21:38] <unop__> aetaric, so you have a backup or not?
[21:38] <aetaric> noipe
[21:38] <aetaric> *nope
[21:39] <Guardia1> unop > how do i do ssh setup like that? and if i do localhost;3306 it will connect to the servers local sql database? as they both have mysql
[21:39] <jrib> subsume: no, I told you to tell the room your error and what you did to get it
[21:39] <subsume> jrib: I already pasted it to you.
[21:39] <subsume> jrib: the error upon running grub-install is "Your /usr is broken; please fix it before calling this wrapper!"
[21:39] <unop__> aetaric, doesnt sound good -- how did you delete /etc ?
[21:39] <Guardia1> unop > there are to lines in the software, the one db has to be on the local server at my house, which it connects to fine, but it just cannot get access to one on the other server
[21:39] <jrib> subsume: I know.  I am telling you to tell the room as I do not know the answer
[21:39] <FullMon-T> I have another partician that isn't being detected. I can't mount it if I can't identify it.
[21:39] <Slart> LinuxNIT: you can't remove it using nautilus?
[21:40] <subsume> people can read, if anyone could help they'd jump in
[21:40] <KalEl> subsume, please do not blaspheme
[21:40] <FullMon-T> subsume: do you or have you ever in any way been affiliated with microsoft?
[21:40] <aetaric> i was trying to rm -r a dir under etc so i wanted it to look like : rm -r /etc/omsa2.0.9 but iti miss typed and it became rm -r /etc /omsa2.0.9
[21:40] <simmer1> is there a good gui diff viewer
[21:40] <subsume> FullMon-T: dear god no.
[21:40] <nikrud> aetaric no. not in any remotely easy manner
[21:40] <pimplife> before i use themes do i need to install anything
[21:40] <subsume> FullMon-T: I'm affiliated with Debian
[21:40] <LinuxNIT> Slart, yeah i just did that... didnt think of it that quic.... why wouldnt the terminal show the proper filename for it... nautilus showed all kinds of wierd characters
[21:41] <FullMon-T> How is debian?
[21:41] <jrib> simmer1: kdiff? meld? gvim in diff mode?
[21:41] <subsume> FullMon-T: like a dream.
[21:41] <FullMon-T> subsume: how is debian?
[21:41] <FullMon-T> subsume: I just decided to try mint.
[21:41] <deebo> is courier _needed_ for something in a home server type install
[21:41] <aetaric> i'll take complex i just don't want to have to go back from 6.06 to 7.10
[21:41] <Slart> LinuxNIT: I don't know.. there is probably a good reason.. or a bad reason for it..
[21:41] <FullMon-T> subsume: I'm getting frustrated.
[21:41] <Slart> deebo: sending mail? isn't it a mta?
[21:41] <subsume> FullMon-T: mint.... isn't that a web analysis thing?
[21:41] <KalEl> subsume, is your question how to install grub from Live CD?
[21:41] <unop__> Guardia1, ok, well, it doesn't need to be "localhost;3306;msyqlusername;mysqlpass;dbtoconnect2" -- it can be "localhost;62101;msyqlusername;mysqlpass;dbtoconnect2" --  to setup a tunnel --  ssh -L 62101:data_center_sql_host:110 -N data_center_sql_host
[21:42] <subsume> KalEl: yes.
[21:42] <deebo> Slart: i dont use my server for any mail receiving or sending, i couldnt find out if its used for local delivery too
[21:42] <pimplife> before i use themes do i need to install anything
[21:42] <unop__> Guardia1, actually -- make that  ssh -L 62101:data_center_sql_host:3306 -N data_center_sql_host
[21:42] <gligorhoria> FullMon-T simple and hard to use! u dont have the basic settins premde as in ubuntu, u have to install everithing!
[21:42] <FullMon-T> subsume: No, it's like ubuntu with extra drivers and codecs. Apparnetly it comes with extra syntax errors too.
[21:42] <templaedhel> does anyone know of a app that supports most forms of media, like pictures and videos and music?
[21:43] <aetaric> but yeah i think im sol
[21:43] <subsume> FullMon-T: hmm.... neat. I will read about that.
[21:43] <subsume> templaedhel: VLC
[21:43] <FullMon-T> gligorhoria: Debian?
[21:43] <nikrud> aetaric I've never tried, but it'll be a matter of purging and reinstalling every package you have. Not something that is simple, or less time consuming than reinstalling and reconfiguring
[21:43] <mad_max02> is there any good tracker for linux programs ?
[21:43] <pimplife> nikrud: before i use themes do i need to install anything
[21:43] <aetaric> i'll try it
[21:43] <Steve1> Hey guys I have some problems. Anyone know how to fix my system so it's dual boot Vista-Ubuntu?
[21:43] <nikrud> pimplife nope, all the theme mechanisms are already in place. The software cursor worked?
[21:44] <Slart> deebo: then I'd say you do not need it
[21:44] <pimplife> yea i had to just reboot
[21:44] <unop__> aetaric, you could try something like   sudo aptitude install $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30)   but it's a long process, almost as good as a reinstall
[21:44] <pimplife> weird
[21:44] <xtknight> how do i choose the default python version?  sudo update-alternatives --config python does not work
[21:44] <iApplehein>  hi
[21:44] <sjovan> http://pastebin.com/d4c69de07 <--- how can i read the error and fix the problem?
[21:44] <nikrud> Steve1 which way is it, vista or ubuntu not booting?
[21:44] <sjovan> and now youtube doesn't show me any videos (it's all grey)... what can be wrong, and how do i fix it? I'm useing opera
[21:44] <Slart> deebo: you usually want some kind of simple MTA for sending logs/error messages/etc to root.. but courier is a bit overkill I think
[21:44] <KalEl> subsume, this might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 Just remember that it is now "find /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[21:45] <aetaric> unop__:i got lucky and had a ssh connection up as root so i will try it
[21:45] <Steve1> Well I had XP on it previously and it was working fine with Ubuntu. But it finally cratered on me so I reinstalled Ubuntu since I don't have a Windows disc.
[21:45] <KalEl> subsume, there may be a better automatic way of doing it, but i am also very new to ubuntu
[21:45] <FullMon-T> I have a partician that isn't being detected. I can't mount it if I can't identify it. what should I do?
[21:45] <Steve1> But now I have a Vista disc and it wont boot from the disc.
[21:45] <goose|laptop> kindofabuzz, once I install ubuntu-desktop, will it automatically launch at startup? or how do I access it? just type ubuntu-desktop every time I want my GUI interface?
[21:45] <Slart> mad_max02: a tracker? a bittorrent tracker? why? most linux software is free and is available from the author..
[21:45] <jabba> does anyone know sth. about 2-pass-encoding of xvid with mencoder? if i want to do scaling in the 2nd pass, do i have to do it also in the first pass? (would be faster without)
[21:45] <Steve1> Also, gparted isn't detecting another harddrive.
[21:45] <Ketzerei> Ubuntu won't install. I get this error: "The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[21:45] <Ketzerei> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[21:45] <Ketzerei> This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment."
[21:46] <subsume> KalEl: I'm not an idiot. Ubuntu simply failed to give me a GRUB install
[21:46] <aetaric> it doesn't know what is installed or where to get it
[21:46] <ethan961> !paste
[21:46] <ubotu> 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)
[21:46] <mad_max02> Slart, vmware, nero and similar
[21:46] <FullMon-T> Ketzerei: try an older version
[21:46] <nikrud> Steve1 probably looking to install on the first partition on the first drive.
[21:46] <unop__> aetaric, actually make that --   sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30)
[21:46] <subsume> KalEl: I probably missed a checkbnox which said 'Make Ubuntu actually work'
[21:46] <KalEl> subsume, sorry i do not follow... you do cannot run grub from live cd?
[21:46] <Ketzerei> Why? Kubuntu gutsy worked just fine
[21:46] <amenado> Guardia1-> try ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 remoteserver
[21:46] <subsume> KalEl: Fresh install of Ubuntu failed to give me GRUB
[21:46] <aetaric> E: Couldn't find package sired
[21:47]  * nikrud wonders how not getting grub is possible with ubuntu.
[21:47] <Steve1> Exactly nikrud. But it wont detect it in Ubuntu. So I cant reformat it. And like I said booting from it isn't working.
[21:47] <subsume> nikrud: meee tooo
[21:47] <subsume> menu.lst didn't even exist!
[21:47] <KalEl> subsume, you mean it did not make the /boot/grub directory?
[21:47] <m4gnus> having issues with server install of 7.10, message "kernel panic - not syncing..." help please.
[21:47] <Slart> mad_max02: well.. there's always the exception.. but to answer your question.. no, I don't know of any trackers for linux software.. and this topic is !ot and bad... (!piracy applies too)
[21:47] <Ketzerei> Does anyone have any suggestions? I love Ubuntu, and I have never had any problems before, so this is a letdown.
[21:47] <subsume> KalEl: you got it buddy.
[21:47] <nikrud> only way I can figure is you escaped back out to the d-i menu, and then didn't complete the install.
[21:47] <FullMon-T> subsume: get gfxboot.
[21:47] <goose|laptop> warddr, , once I install ubuntu-desktop, will it automatically launch at startup? or how do I access it? just type ubuntu-desktop every time I want my GUI interface?
[21:47] <dabbill> I just put a 8800GT in. I downloaded and installed the newest nVidia drivers, but it doesnt seem to be preforming in games as well as it should.
[21:48] <subsume> FullMon-T: gfxboot.... uhmm..... no. an install CD should do just that. INSTALL.
[21:48] <nikrud> Steve1 what do you mean, wont
[21:48] <nikrud> Steve1 detect what?
[21:48] <Steve1> goose isn't that the desktop it comes with?
[21:48] <hms-> hi, anyone know why I'm getting "pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info" when sudo:ing? I haven't really touched anything since yesterday
[21:48] <Guardia1> amenado > "try ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 remoteserver" do i type that into my box in my house? or into the dedi server?
[21:48] <aetaric> don't think its gonna work
[21:48] <FullMon-T> subsume: no, for the menu.lst...
[21:48] <templaedhel> Ketzerei have you tried checking the integrity of the disk?
[21:48] <Steve1> Gparted doesn't detect the NTFS partition of my first HD. So I can't reformat it.
[21:48] <warddr> goose|laptop, start x
[21:48] <Slart> dabbill: is it really bad? or just not as good as you thought it'd be?.. it might be that the card is pretty new and support in the driver isn't really up to speed yet
[21:48] <amenado> Guardia1-> in your house, and then the mysql client in your house connects to localhost:20001 not 3306
[21:48] <Steve1> Also, booting from the DVD(for Vista) doesn't work.
[21:48] <subsume> FullMon-T: yeah, sounds like another rabbit hole to get lost down. I am just going to reinstall
[21:48] <KalEl> subsume, that it very strange. however, i believe you still can create the /boot/menu.lst file yourself - and install grub to the MBR of (hd0) from the live cd by running it from there.
[21:48] <aetaric> so should i just scp my ssh keys out and start over
[21:49] <hms-> (on a gutsy server that is, google didn't help me)
[21:49] <subsume> KalEl: yeah, I tried. then I ran into errors.
[21:49] <Ketzerei> Temp: How would I go about doing that? I've never had any problems with it, its only a 8 moth old sata disk.
[21:49] <dabbill> Slart, Its barly doing better then the 6600GT i had in the computer
[21:49] <mad_max02> Slart, well then I'll have to keep searching. Thanks for the info :D
[21:49] <nikrud> Steve1 hm. When you say doesn't detect it, you mean it says that the first partition starts after ntfs?  what does   sudo fdisk -l   say
[21:49] <KalEl> subsume, once you boot into your ubuntu installation, you might then (re)install grub
[21:49] <KalEl> subsume, what errors?
[21:49] <goose|laptop> warddr, just type 'start x' and it will launch the GUI interface?
[21:49] <warddr> goose|laptop, yes
[21:50] <dabbill> Slart, like its only doing maybe 5% better then the 6600GT.
[21:50] <Ryuuzaki> who have plagin on xchat for anti-spam?
[21:50] <subsume> KalEl: errors. I'm sick of explaining everything a million times. I'll let you know how the reinstall goes. oh wait, it takes two hours.
[21:50] <Guardia1> amenado > this is a program that wants to connect, that runs on the server at bootup, there is user accounts on my home server (so it is secure) and a database on the datacentre's server that the program also needs to run, however is behind the firewall.  If i put that it, will it no-longer connect to the local sql server?
[21:50] <warddr> goose|laptop, and don't run that as sudo
[21:50] <Steve1> It only gives me the info on harddriveb. It doesn't show harddrivea.
[21:50] <izzy_> hey yall anyone using ubuntu 7.10 server edition as a web server?
[21:50] <nikrud> Steve1 which is it?
[21:50] <subsume> izzy_: sadly, yes I am
[21:50] <KalEl> subsume, strange again, for me it took around 14 minutes. however chances are good that reinstalling it from the same source won't help - unless u messed some configuration the first time.
[21:51] <Ryuuzaki> who have anti-spam plagin on xchat?
[21:51] <nikrud> Steve1 I mean , which is the "it" you're talking about, gparted or sudo fdisk -l ?
[21:51] <Steve1> nikrud>linux is installed on hdb. The crashed winxp is on hda.
[21:51] <izzy_> sub can u im me and give me a hand for a few mins ?
[21:51] <Steve1> sudo fdisk and gparted
[21:51] <amenado> Guardia1-> you have another sql server at your home? then have a separate client for that
[21:51] <Steve1> Both only show hdb
[21:51] <subsume> izzy_: you aren't registered.
[21:51] <nikrud> Steve1 then the disk itself is not responding. Check the cabling
[21:52] <aetaric> anyone recomend a good backup deamon?
[21:52] <WaveRnr> hi can anyone give any advice/links/help on installing ubuntu on a sony vaio vgn-a290?
[21:52] <Steve1> So it has nothing to do with the disc being NTFS?
[21:52] <skaka> how is change time form 24 hours to 12 hours ? i am use ubuntu7.04
[21:52] <izzy_> i sent a message to u it said it went threw
[21:53] <Steve1> I probably just killed it or something.
[21:53] <nikrud> Steve1 no. if fdisk doesn't see it, you have bad disk/cabling , hardware issues
[21:53] <Steve1> DAmn
[21:53] <KalEl> skaka, right click the clock (on top right) & select preferences
[21:53] <Ketzerei> With fsck I get "sudo fsck /dev/sda1
[21:53] <Ketzerei> fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
[21:53] <Ketzerei> e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)

[21:53] <Ketzerei> /dev/sda1: clean, 2683/9371648 files, 357549/18729774 blocks"
[21:53] <Guardia1> amenado> ok, The home server has a program running that pulls data from 2 different databases, one being on the local server (ie 127.0.0.1) and one that has to be in the datacentre, the one in the data has the 3306 port blocked.
[21:53] <Steve1> Guess I gotta get a new HD now lol.
[21:54] <nikrud> Steve1 check your cabling and all first.
[21:54] <izzy_> u got a email or messenger
[21:54] <Steve1> Ok well how would I format a NTFS partition out of my linux one. So I could dual boot?
[21:54] <Steve1> Alright will do. But if all else fails what do I do?
[21:54] <WaveRnr> hi can anyone give any advice/links/help on installing ubuntu on a sony vaio vgn-a290?  or is there a better channel to ask on?
[21:54] <amenado> Guardia1-> if the issue of blocked 3306 at the datacenter is not an issue, how does this program you mentioned, connects to the datacenter? what is the exact connect string?
[21:55] <Ketzerei> Can anyone else help me? I really need to get ubuntu installed right away, and If it wont let me, I need an alternative. I can't run the live cd forever.
[21:55] <nikrud> Steve1 you would have to resize your ext3 partition, leaving some space on the front. gparted ____should____ be able to do that
[21:55] <WaveRnr> it seems opensuse is the most compatible distro to use... but Id like to use ubuntu
[21:55] <gpm> hi guys. i am on debian and i want to install ubuntu without CD, however the only partitions i can copy CD contents to are xfs, is this possible or must they be ext3?
[21:55] <m4gnus> having issues with server install of 7.10, message "kernel panic - not syncing..." help please?
[21:55] <amenado> Ketzerei-> right away? as if you were demanding from us..jump or else?
[21:55] <Ketzerei> No. :P I just need it by the end of the night is all.
[21:56] <amenado> Ketzerei-> then learn to ask nicely...what is the magic word?
[21:56] <Ketzerei> Please will you help me? I REALLY have no idea what to do from here...
[21:56] <Thkaal> hey all, quick question.  what's the command to check what my video card is?
[21:56] <ubuntu> How can I add boot loader to my pc ?
[21:56] <nikrud> Thkaal   lspci | grep -i vga
[21:56] <kindofabuzz> m4gnus: try acpi=force
[21:57] <kindofabuzz> at boot options
[21:57] <sjovan> http://pastebin.com/d4c69de07 <--- how can i read the error and fix the problem?
[21:57] <lordleemo> Ryuuzaki: http://xchat.org/cgi-bin/script_list.pl/ plugins and scripts section you want  x protection . i dont use xchat any more since i fell in love with irssi
[21:57] <Thkaal> nikrud: thanks.  i have a whole new system now and i need to know what vc it has.
[21:57] <amenado> Ketzerei-> why is it that you got to have it by end of night? did you plan enuff time for troubleshooting?
[21:57] <WaveRnr> nvm mind guess ill use opensuse
[21:57] <kindofabuzz> opensuse = microsoft = evil!
[21:57] <Steve1> Hmmm it's not allowing me to do anything in gparted except look at the partitions on hdb. And yes I am running it as sudo.
[21:57] <izzy_> sub anyway to contact u ?
[21:58] <Ketzerei> I'm willing to pull an all nighter. Its just that I have projects for school I need to do, and I dont have windows.
[21:58] <nikrud> Steve1 you'll need to boot to a live cd to change those partitions, you can't resize when they are mounted/in use
[21:58] <Jon855> Ketzerei, what's it that you needed to do?
[21:58] <Steve1> Ah I see. Thanks.
[21:58] <Guardia1> amenado > it pulls it from a config file the settings: "datacenterip;3306;mysqlusername;mysqlpassword;databaseitneeds"
[21:58] <subsume> Ketzerei: what problems are you running into?
[21:58] <nikrud> Steve1 there's a live gparted disk out there if you don't have the ubuntu live
[21:58] <Ketzerei> Ubuntu wont install. Plain and simple. I get an "Errno 5" at like 40%
[21:58] <Steve1> I have one.
[21:58] <kindofabuzz> goose|laptop: yeah it will laucnch at startup, sorry i was afk
[21:58] <Jon855> Is the disc good?
[21:58] <subsume> Ketzerei: GRUB eror....what...? what happens?
[21:58] <Ketzerei> FSCK says sda1 is fine..
[21:59] <subsume> hmm
[21:59] <Jon855> is the installation disk good?
[21:59] <subsume> at 04%
[21:59] <izzy_> got dust on ur cd or finger print ? i had that problem
[21:59] <sdke> can smoene help me out? i have a compaq (amd) computer and ubuntu is not able to dectect my hd
[21:59] <Ketzerei> I've burned 4 different disks... they all seem to be fine. The md5's were good, etc.
[21:59] <amenado> Guardia1-> change that settings to datacenterip;20001;......   to match what i suggested earlier regarding ssh command line
[21:59] <sdke> my installation hangs on the partitionar part
[22:00] <amenado> Ketzerei-> what kind of pc do you have? specs?
[22:00] <sdke> hangs on 46% to be exact
[22:00] <kindofabuzz> Ketzerei: try the alternate install iso
[22:00] <izzy_> anyone using ubuntu 7.10 server edition as a web server?
[22:00] <hdevalence_> is there a docx to .doc converter for ubuntu?
[22:01] <sdke> btw: i am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 x86
[22:01] <Guardia1> amenado > so i type ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 datacentreip
[22:01] <Guardia1>  into a termianal on the home server, then i can close the terminal?
[22:01] <Guardia1> amendo > then put datacentreip;20001;mysqlusername;msqlpassword;databaseneeded into config?
[22:01] <Ketzerei> I've got an AMD 64 X2 Athlon (tried 64-bit already, same result) MSI K9N Neo f4, lite on 48x dvd/cd drive, 1.5 gigs ram, what else do you need?
[22:01] <amenado> Guardia1-> dont close the terminal where you type the above..
[22:02] <Ketzerei> I would try the alternate, but I don't want to use more disks.
[22:02] <Thkaal> nikrud: If i was there, i'd kiss you.  Geforce4 mx420, a full gig of ram, an 80gig hd, 2ghz....and it looks like this card will work just fine.
[22:02] <sdke> anyone?
[22:02] <kindofabuzz> Ketzerei: you got the amd distro iso?
[22:02] <Ketzerei> Yes. The 64-bit one.
[22:02] <pussfeller> wheres the md5sums for the ubuntu isos?
[22:02] <amenado> Guardia1-> yes, modify the config file to match that port 20001
[22:02] <pussfeller> i cant find em on the site

[22:06] <gmachine_24> I know how to add an icon to the >applications>internet pull-down menu but I am trying to figure out how to link that to the program I am trying to start which is the Seamonkey browser located in /usr/local/seamonkey. I'd like to do this without checking the box that says to rum the command in a terminal box.
[22:06] <kindofabuzz> pimplife: gtk is gnome
[22:06] <Ketzerei> I have a post on the forums, hold on.
[22:06] <kindofabuzz> well has to do with gnome

[22:06] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[22:06] <amenado> izzy_-> umm you need some firewalling rulez too..so they dont DOS your webserver

[22:07] <izzy_> amenado>  webserver how am i to set it up for dns and such ive never used ubuntu server edition b4 so its confusing me it seems alot like openbsd but somethings are not as clear as others
[22:07] <Ketzerei> I've tried the 32-bit version, 64-bit version, I've burned with Nero, with InfraRecorder... I dunno whats wrong. My disks are fine, i dont have crappy cds, my drive seems to be doing its job...
[22:08] <amenado> Ketzerei-> have you tried the alternate cd as someone had suggested?
[22:08] <akaineko> did any of you have freezing of the system thing ? when you can't do anything, just the mouse pointer moves around.
[22:08] <El1> Hi guys, anyone know what I can do against a kernel panic?
[22:08] <Ketzerei> No. I really don't want to download and burn something else, but if thats my last option, I'll go for it
[22:08] <kindofabuzz> yeah i had to use an alternate cd for my server (old computer) it would hang with regular iso
[22:08] <gmachine_24> panic
[22:08] <Ketzerei> Okay, well, I guess I'll go for it.
[22:09] <Ketzerei> Thank for sticking with me.
[22:09] <kindofabuzz> good luck
[22:09] <billymeter> Ketzerei: I've had a couple laptops that wouldn't work with the regular ISO, definitely try the alt cd
[22:09] <Ketzerei> I'll need it. XD
[22:09] <amenado> izzy same concepts..what is confusing you?

[22:11] <Schmiez> and the screen goes black and doesn't do anything
[22:11] <El1> situation is kinda like this: I first had some bad sectors on my windows partition, and after a while I couldn't boot there anymore. Ubuntu partition did still work, but after a while that didn't work either. I did an fsck to repair my ubuntu partition, which was succesful, but now I'm getting a kernel panic on startup, anyone know what I could do to solve this?
[22:12] <Doore> how can I set the monitor brightness to a fixed value that survives a reboot?
[22:12] <izzy_> amenado> well i use to have the webserver setup on openbsd i had 3 drives crash at the same time since i was still Learning how it woked i had help on setting it up now ive decided to convert it over to ubuntu for a more simplied setup and cus ididnt like runing it on openbsd so now im stuck i got everything besides a firewall on this ubuntu 7.10 server   mysql  openssh apache2 lamp installion  and vsftp i got vsftp to work to upload files

[22:13] <billymeter> FullMon-T: What does your /etc/fstab file look like?
[22:13] <ron_asheton> I'm having problems to configure my lexmark 1200 series printer... (system -> configuration -> printers) asks me for some password but none that I know suit

[22:15] <Steven1> Ok cool. I am using the Live CD. Now how much space Preceding should I have for gparted on the Ext3 partition?

[22:16] <Steven1> nikrud*
[22:16] <billymeter> FullMon-T: You have to edit the file, try running this on the terminal: su gedit /etc/fstab
[22:16] <nikrud> Steven1  nik<tab> works very nice
[22:16] <Doore> how can I set the monitor brightness to a fixed value that survives a reboot?
[22:16] <billymeter> ron_asheton: Sure, give that a try
[22:16] <Schmiez> amenado: can i talk to you in a PM about this? i'm getting lostin all the other conversations here
[22:17] <ron_asheton> billymeter, I already tried
[22:17] <Steven1> nikrud: Ah I see.
[22:17] <billymeter> ron_asheton: Hmm....
[22:17] <akaineko> how can i configure my sound, so my 5.1 speakers would work ?
[22:17] <amenado> Schmiez-> nope, the system will not accept pm
[22:17] <Schmiez> ok
[22:17] <nikrud> Steven1 ok, how big is your disk, and also how much data do you have on the ext3?  df -h will tell you
[22:17] <Schmiez> uhm so i rebooted, and pressed escape

[22:18] <FullMon-T> billymeter: I did it.
[22:18] <Guardia1> nope, its logging me into that box, in that if i was to run program after it would try to run program on the server
[22:18] <FullMon-T> billymeter: what do I add?
[22:18] <Guardia1> on the server at datacentre*
[22:18] <amenado> Schmiez-> what options do you get to select from?
[22:18] <Nilbus> any idea how to customize the screen lock screen?
[22:18] <Adys> How do I reset all the network options to default in ubuntu?
[22:18] <Steven1> nikrud: Total Size-107.44 GiB. Used-16.29GiB. Unused 91.16Gib.

[22:18] <billymeter> FullMon-T: Try adding this line: /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 ext2 defaults 0 2
[22:19] <nikrud> Steven1 heh. Me, I'd leave it all for ubuntu :)  You'll probably want to give 40-50gb to vista, it's a hog.
[22:19] <billymeter> FullMon-T: Then make sure you create the /media/sda3 directory
[22:19] <Schmiez> ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, (recovery mode), and memtest86+
[22:19] <moo^> There is a bug which importance need to be bumped ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/95886 ). How this could be done?
[22:19] <bune> can anyone help me use amarok for my touch?
[22:19] <Steven1> nikrud: Damn well that sucks. I was reading a couple of sites and they were saying 20gigs.
[22:20] <Guardia1> amenado > sorry, was aiming it at amenado
[22:20] <Slart> Nilbus: I'm not sure.. but I think gnome-screensaver or X screensaver might be what locks the computer
[22:20] <bune> i followed the guide, amarok repeatedly asks for alpine password :/
[22:20] <nikrud> Steven1 I had 40, and with office and a couple games it was full
[22:20] <amenado> Guardia1-> yes?
[22:21] <Solmaze> Hola, quick question - how do I "edit" a file with superuser permissions? (from terminal, if I remember correctly)
[22:21] <Steven1> nikrud: Well I have 91.16GiB unused I guess I could allocate 50gigs to Vista.
[22:21] <Adys> Solmaze:  sudo gedit filename
[22:21] <FullMon-T> billymeter: whats the command to create that directory?
[22:21] <Solmaze> Gonna try that, thanks
[22:21] <prince_jammys> Solmaze: sudo nano file (terminal) or gksudo gedit file
[22:21] <billymeter> Solmaze: su gedit <filename>
[22:21] <prince_jammys> !gksudo
[22:21] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[22:21] <Steven1> nikrud: plus since I'll have to reinstall Ubuntu again. I'll have more space freed.
[22:21] <Schmiez> amenado: ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, (recovery mode), and memtest86+
[22:21] <Nilbus> billymeter, Solmaze: sudo, not su
[22:21] <Armagguedes> hallo
[22:21] <lary>  /msg ubotu etiquette
[22:21] <Guardia1> amenado > not working, its logging me into that box, (with the ssh command) and then trying to run the locals server programs on that box
[22:21] <Armagguedes>  i want to install XP in a VM at some point; which (k)ubuntu do i install? desktop or alternate?
[22:21] <billymeter> Nilbus: Good catch.
[22:22] <prince_jammys> gksudo gedit, not sudo, not su
[22:22] <amenado> Schmiez-> select ubuntu and then press "e"
[22:22] <billymeter> Nilbus: Getting too use to my Mac, lol
[22:22] <Adys> whats wrong with sudo prince_jammys ?
[22:22] <nikrud> Armagguedes doesn't matter, they both give you a desktop to run the vm in
[22:22] <Schmiez> ok
[22:22] <billymeter> FullMon-T: sudo mkdir /media/sda3
[22:22] <Armagguedes> hm ok
[22:22] <Armagguedes> thanks
[22:22] <ron_asheton> what's ubuntu's default wallpaper directory?
[22:22] <prince_jammys> Adys: check the link above. it MAY not matter, but if you change any settings, will make a mess
[22:23] <nikrud> Armagguedes more specifically, the live cd and the alternate both end up with the same install at the end
[22:23] <Steven1> nikrud: But the 50gigs goes into the 'Free Space Preceding' right or is it the 'New Size' box or 'Free Space Following'?
[22:23] <Adys> also, no one here knows how to reset all network settings to default?
[22:23] <amenado> Guardia1-> im not following you, you tried to login manually from a shell to the datacenter and what happens? what is the exact command you typed?
[22:23] <Solmaze> Thanks alot, compiz working now =)
[22:23] <Schmiez> amenado: now i've got root, kernel, initrd, and quiet
[22:23] <nikrud> Steven1 preceeding. windows really really really wants to be on the first partition of the first drive
[22:23] <Steven1> nikrud: Ok thanks.
[22:24] <amenado> Schmiez-> okay use arrow key to kernel, then press "e" again and remove quiet, splash and enter  noapic  acpi=off   then hit enter and boot
[22:24] <Guardia1> amenado > ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 myusername@serverip
[22:24] <Armagguedes> alright
[22:24] <Armagguedes> thnanks nikrud
[22:24] <Steven1> nikrud = god
[22:25] <Schmiez> okay
[22:25] <Schmiez> i'll try that
[22:25] <amenado> Guardia1-> try this instead   ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 -l myusername  serverip
[22:25] <FullMon-T> billymeter: Thanks a million.

[22:27] <amenado> Schmiez-> reboot..and   try  adding  vga=0791   in addition to what you typed earlier..

[22:28] <Slart> izzy_: not that I can think of
[22:29] <cyntek> why is that every  time I shutdown, my wallpaper disappears and my hard drives are not mounted permanately in ubuntu?
[22:29] <hdevalence_> meh, I have the gimp, krita SVN, so one more won't hurt
[22:29] <amenado> izzy_-> umm how big is your hd? it should not though..

[22:30] <zhangl> hi, I have a question on xmgrace on Ubuntu 7.10. Whenever i typed in xmgrace on command line, It showed me following message: xmgrace: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking, then prompt out the window. After modifying the data and finishing drawing the figure, it could not be saved correctly as .agr format. When I loaded it again, its size was changed. Anyone knows how to solve it? thanks a lot.
[22:30] <izzy_> slart> i need to find a way to setup 7.10 as a webserver cant find any documents that explain in enough detail how to set it up correctly
[22:30] <Steven1> bune: I think if you check the package manager there are plugins for amarok for the touch.
[22:30] <Guardia1> amendo > not working
[22:30] <billymeter> Slart: It wasn't dapper, it was Breezy Badger
[22:30] <Funcan> Hi. Anybody tried installing ubuntu on an sd card? I'm having trouble getting a /dev entry for any more than one partition on the card....
[22:30] <bune> ok guys cya later
[22:30] <Solmaze> how would one go about installing a program from a tar gz file?
[22:30] <hms-> anyone know why im getting "pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info" when sudo:ing?
[22:30] <amenado> Guardia1-> what happens? you get an error? what kind of response?
[22:31] <hms-> would be soo thankful for some help

[22:31] <xZEXx> anyone know how to get vnc server to start before login screen so that login can be done remotely?
[22:31] <Guardia1> oops
[22:31]  * Steven1 is still holding down the up arrows to create a partition.
[22:31] <billymeter> Slart: And yes, very old, before back when they had the Install CD and LiveCD separate
[22:31] <cyntek> why is that every  time I shutdown, my wallpaper disappears and my hard drives are not mounted permanately in ubuntu?
[22:31] <billymeter> I still have some of those CDs somewhere
[22:32] <Guardia1> amendo > needs to connect directly to the port 3306, or the server at datacentre needs to know that some other port = 3306 when it gets to the box
[22:32] <billymeter> cyntek: What hard drives
[22:32] <Funcan> Scrub that, I was being stupid and fdisking the partition not the entire device
[22:32] <Schmiez> amenado: when i went to retype it, "quiet splash" was back. is that normal? i also typed everything back in and still get a black screen
[22:32] <billymeter> Just curious, anyone use the iPhone under Ubuntu?
[22:32] <Steven1> Hopefully this works lol
[22:32] <cyntek> my ntfs drives
[22:33] <kane77> ubuntu checks disks each time I boot, how do I turn it off?
[22:33] <xZEXx> why can i login with vnc after i login locally but not before?
[22:33] <amenado> Schmiez-> yes using "e" at grub prompt is temporary,
[22:33] <cyntek> im able to access if i Right click onto properties to mount.
[22:33] <Schmiez> alright, well it still is a blackscreen
[22:33] <Igneous> I just noticed one of my computers is logging something really wierd to the kernlog, and demsg.. ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [dbb4fdec] 'on'.. All the fans are working, and the tems are fine.. Is there any way I could stop it from spamming dmesg and the kernlog? I've done some searching around, but there are whole bunch of topics without answers, figured someone here might know.
[22:33] <Slart> thanks billymeter
[22:33] <billymeter> cyntek: Probably because those drives are not in your /etc/fstab file

[22:34] <cyntek> hmm. let me check
[22:34] <billymeter> Slart: No problem

[22:34] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[22:34] <Schmiez> amenado: not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i've got an HP Pavilion 533C computer with a PCI video card.
[22:35] <xZEXx> !vnc
[22:35] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[22:35] <barslow> can anyone help me with klibido, its got teeny tiny little fonts
[22:35] <xZEXx> !vncmore
[22:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vncmore - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:35] <amenado> Guardia1-> perhaps your datacenter login server does not allow to port forward..
[22:35] <darthdavid> I've got a creative zen xtra. When I try and run gnomad2 locks up. Audacity locks up when I try and get it to access the player as well.

[22:36] <erpo> My onboard ethernet driver is supported by the atl1 driver, but I don't see a /dev/eth# device file for it. How can I begin troubleshooting this?
[22:36] <amenado> Schmiez-> i dont know if it has got to do with it, did you try those options i suggested?  remove quiet, splash  and added vga=791 noapic acpi=off ?
[22:37] <Guardia1> amenado > i need some software on the box that when it gets info in on a port, it redirects inside the server itself to port 3306, e.g. i tell home server to connect on 20001 and it goes 2 server, on the servers side it then takes it and puts it to 3306, how tho?
[22:37] <Schmiez> amenado:  yeah, i tried all that and it still came back with a black screen
[22:38] <Slart> xZEXx: perhaps the vnc server is started at login?
[22:38] <amenado> Guardia1-> i think we are not in same page here, if you ssh in via the command line, what responses do you get from the datacenter?
[22:38] <Slart> xZEXx: what kind of vnc-server do you run?
[22:38] <billymeter> cyntek: Are you looking to just read from an NTFS file system? Or read/write?
[22:38] <jokoon> doesn't matter it does both
[22:39] <cyntek> billymeter: read/write
[22:39] <Schmiez> amenado:  yeah, i tried all that and it still came back with a black screen...
[22:39] <Guardia1> armendo > it logs me in, but because i have ssh'ed into the box, it takes it that any command after that, is to run on the server
[22:39] <DeadLy_sp_> hello, anyone can help to me with and script?
[22:39] <DeadLy_sp_> a*
[22:39] <amenado> Schmiez-> even with a black screen, can you type  ctrl+alt+F1 and logon?
[22:39] <billymeter> cyntek: This article should be helpful: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=585
[22:39] <izzy_> slart> i did the lamp and it brought up the same stuff as it did yesterday and nothing was clear cut on it and it ended up running me in circles
[22:39] <Prefix> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4572899
[22:39] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, what kind of script?
[22:39] <Guardia1> armendo > e.g. the bit after that says cd /homeserver/location/exe is not on server, but it will try to go 2 it on the server in datacentre
[22:40] <kindofabuzz> with NFS, how can i make it to where if a file is put in the client mount it's seen on the server mount?
[22:40] <Schmiez> amenado: no i can't
[22:40] <Slart> !apache
[22:40] <cyntek> ill take a look, but from Fstab, shows there not mount automatically, right?
[22:40] <billymeter> cyntek: As for your wallpaper, I'm not sure, unless you're using an image off one of the NTFS file systems

[22:40] <RxDx> i have a GF 6200 (AGP).. should i install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new?
[22:40] <izzy_> slart> same stuff same page it brought up for lamp
[22:40] <cyntek> Yes, I saved it to the ntfs device
[22:40] <Slart> izzy_: hmm.. well.. I don't really know of any good apache tutorials.. I've only ever setup a small LAN only webserver..
[22:41] <billymeter> cyntek: No, I don't see that in /etc/fstab
[22:41] <amenado> Guardia1-> lets step back a bit okay,  do a   ssh -l myusername serverip   and you get to logon to the logon server right? then how do you get to the mysql server at the datacenter?
[22:41] <nosetto> !askthebot
[22:41] <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.
[22:41] <izzy_> slart> ya the dns is whats giving me a run around
[22:41] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, like this??  zenity --list --column "file" *zip
[22:41] <cyntek> Alright, I'll have to mount them manualy with read and write
[22:41] <amenado> Schmiez-> even with a black screen, can you type  ctrl+alt+F1 and logon? you cant?
[22:41] <Guardia1> amenado > i have ssh access to the server on the box, i installed webmin to access stuff easier
[22:41] <Schmiez> amenado: no i can't. nothing shows up for me to type in a login and password.
[22:41] <cyntek> Thanks, billymeter:
[22:41] <billymeter> cyntek: No problem
[22:41] <Guardia1> amenado > it accepts most ports, if not all i want
[22:42] <Guardia1> amenado > however default of there servers are installed with no root mysql pass, so they prob block port 3306 for that reason
[22:42] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__ http://paste.ubuntu.com/6025/
[22:42] <amenado> Guardia1-> umm just follow along okay? dont use webmin.. i wanted to know once you ssh login to your datacenter manually, what do you type to get to the mysql server?
[22:42] <unop__> amenado, I originally asked Guardia1 to setup an ssh tunnel --like this -- ssh -L 62101:other_host:3306 -N other_host

[22:43] <ere4si> hmm - I have the default panel at the top - I right click and add new panel and one shows at the bottom - I right click it to configure and can only change the top panel - it is the only one in the configure window ?
[22:43] <Guardia1> amenado > instead of local program..
[22:44] <amenado> unop-> thats okay too..i wanted to find out the step by step connectivity he performs
[22:44] <sjovan> got some issues getting the password protection up and running
[22:44] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, i'm not really sure what you want to do -- can you explain a little more on that?
[22:44] <Guardia1> amenado >  i need something that when the datacentre server gets information on a diff port, it knows it is ment to go to 3306
[22:44] <Steven1> New Problem. Gparted froze on checking for problems so I canceled. Then i reopened it cause it crashed and tried the operation again. But it failed immediately.

[22:44] <Igneous> I just noticed one of my computers is logging something really wierd to the kernlog, and demsg.. ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [dbb4fdec] 'on'.. All the fans are working, and the temps are fine.. Is there any way I could stop it from spamming dmesg and the kernlog?
[22:45] <Steven1> Do I need to format the partitons before resizing one?
[22:45] <Solmaze> how would one go about installing a program from a tar gz file?
[22:45] <izzy_> slart> ok thanks anyways
[22:45] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__, i noob with bash scripting :( i want put the roms and run it from zenity
[22:45] <amenado> Guardia1-> lets just do this step at a time, once you are logged in to your datacenter login server, just using manual command line ssh login what happens?
[22:45] <kindofabuzz> ok same problem as last night.  i have a shared nfs folder on server.  i have it mounted on client.  how come i can edit files on server created on client but i cannot edit files on client created on server?
[22:45] <Schmiez> amenado: is their anything physically in a computer that could keep ubuntu from booting properlly? i mean, i tried this on another pc and it worked just fine.
[22:45] <peter-> w30: Try to type in terminal this: ccsm and select those cube stuff from there
[22:45] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__, hm a little script for plays to xmame without gui
[22:46] <amenado> Schmiez-> its probably booting but your video card is not displaying it properly
[22:46] <w30> peter-, thank
[22:46] <Guardia1> Amenado > i log into my account on the server
[22:46] <peter-> w30: You welcome
[22:46] <Guardia1> Amenado > it just asks for password
[22:46] <amenado> Guardia1-> when you say server, datacenter server?
[22:46] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, you mean you want to execute something on a bunch of filenames after listing those filenames in a zenity dialog?
[22:46] <DeadLy_sp_> yes unop__
[22:46] <Guardia1> Amenado > yes, once i put in password, it then goes to blank
[22:46] <izzy_> slart> if i just want to make the server a file server on a local area network what servers should i download   vsftp  and forget about apache2 and mysql ?
[22:46] <Steven1> Gparted failed on me. The message says,'Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?'
[22:46] <Schmiez> amenado: what if i unplug it and plug my monitor into the onboard?
[22:46] <Guardia1> Amenado > and assumes that everything after, will be ran on the datacentre pc, rather than the home
[22:47] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, but why do you want them listed in the zenity dialog? why don't you execute them directly?
[22:47] <w30> peter-, I have played with that but can't find a rotate cube with mouse option.
[22:47] <amenado> Schmiez-> you were using another video card? gessh  you have to tell me the whole thing, otherwise we're guessing forever
[22:47] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__ i dont know much as is it :/
[22:47] <FullMon-T> Anybody know how to make grub work after another distro took grub over? I want my old grub back.
[22:47] <Schmiez> lol sorry
[22:47] <unop__> !grub | FullMon-T
[22:47] <ubotu> FullMon-T: 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
[22:47] <peter-> w30: You tried to press CTRL + ALT + Mouse 1 button and dragged your mouse?
[22:47] <Schmiez> amenado: yeah sorry i was using a raedon 9250 PCI vid card
[22:48] <amenado> Guardia1-> are you saying upon logging on to your datacenter, you dont need to execute any scripts or commands to connect to the mysql or you have to issue another command?
[22:48] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__ i want load the roms dir and list it on zenity with --radiolist and exec xmame with the selected rom
[22:48] <Piero_Scaruffi> how do i mount my mp3 player (Creative Zen Touch) ?
[22:48] <peter-> w30 select rotate cube
[22:48] <peter-> also
[22:48] <FullMon-T> unop__ That doesn't help. Did you understand my question?
[22:48] <PiousMinion> Question. I delete a user, then manually remove his home dir, and recreate the user. The user logs in and has the same desktop layout and funky panel layout he had before. What am I missing?
[22:48] <amenado> Schmiez-> use your embedded video card and see if it makes a difference
[22:49] <unop__> FullMon-T, read the excerpt from that line that deals with reinstalling grub
[22:49] <Steven1> nikrud: I tried to run the gparted operation and it keeps failing at the step where it checks for errors. What do I do?
[22:49] <w30> peter-, yeah that works but I middle button on mouse control with no keyboard with beryl.
[22:49] <amenado> Guardia1-> once you logged on to your datacenter logon server, you can type  grep  myusername /etc/passwd and it should tell you if you are getting a shell or it executes another script/command
[22:49] <Guardia1> Amenado > right, the program that needs to connect to the mysql server is running on my home server, i simply put in the settings of what ip,port,username,pass,dbname into a config file, when the program runs, it trys to connect to it, however the port 3306 is blocked.  to run the program i have to cd /opt/programdirectory/
[22:50] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_,   command_to_exec_rom $(zenity --list --radiolist --column "#" --column "file" *zip)
[22:50] <FullMon-T> unop__ I know how to reinstall. for some reason I can't get it to work right.
[22:50] <nikrud> Steven1 are you planning to completely repartiton this machine, and reinstall both windows and ubuntu?
[22:50] <amenado> Guardia1-> you are skipping ahead, am just referring to the logging on to your datacenter,.. i have not mentioned anything yet about your home system
[22:50] <unop__> FullMon-T, have you tried the grub-install command?
[22:51] <peter-> w30: Do you mean you want to control it with your keyboard?
[22:51] <Steven1> nikrud: I believe so. Since Windows will destroy Grub.
[22:51] <amenado> Guardia1-> once you logged on to your datacenter logon server, you can type  grep  myusername /etc/passwd and it should tell you if you are getting a shell or it executes another script/command
[22:51] <Steven1> nikrud: I would have to in order to get grub back.
[22:51] <nikrud> Steven1 there are ways around that, windows destroying grub.
[22:51] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__, what! hahaha is all code that i need for it?
[22:51] <FullMon-T> unop__ That would be it.
[22:51] <Steven1> nikrud: Oh really? I could have used that a long time ago lol.
[22:51] <PiousMinion> too crowded in here to even be comprehensible, let alone get support.
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> hey
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> hello
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> hello...........
[22:52] <unop__> DeadLy_sp_, well essentially yes -- you might like to add your grep/awk code around it
[22:52] <Steven1> nikrud: is there a ubuntu equivalent for Disk Checker?
[22:52] <sjovan>  got a issue with the password protection on gnump3d... this is the settings --->  http://pastebin.com/d755b8835 <--- what's wrong?
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> hello can u see me?
[22:52] <unop__> FullMon-T, so whats failing?
[22:52] <nikrud> Steven1 I've ony used gparted to resize once, and it screwed up my vista install (had the machine for all of 4 hours, so no big deal). Others say it works fine for them. I reverted to cfdisk and repartitioned from scratch
[22:52] <Schmiez> amenado: i took out my video card, and used the exact same settings as before, it booted up just fine. thank you!!!  now i wonder is it possible to get my video card working with ubuntu?
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> can u see me talking
[22:52] <hischild> jeremy_reid, yes
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> good
[22:52] <jeremy_reid> bye
[22:52] <nikrud> Steven1   sudo fsck /dev/<device>  (for ext3)
[22:52] <stingray72> Hey guys, I have a card reader on my Dell laptop, it works fine with SD cards but not with Sony Memory Sticks (supposed to work with both).  Anyone ever heard of this?
[22:53] <Guardia1> amenado > grep  myusername /etc/passwd does nothing
[22:53] <nich0s> Hey all, quick question.  Is there a certain procedure or program I can use to ensure that my integrated webcam is up and running?
[22:53] <amenado> Schmiez-> possible, you have to dig up what driver your additional video card uses
[22:53] <Schmiez> okay
[22:53] <Pelo> nich0s, you can try with camorama
[22:54] <Pelo> nich0s, use add/remove and search for webcam
[22:54] <Steven1> nikrud: cfdisk gives me this error: 'Fata Error: Cannot open disk drive Press any key to exit cfdisk'
[22:54] <Guardia1> amenado > Is there anything that just tells the server to port forward from within the server itself?
[22:54] <amenado> Guardia1-> you dont get a shell from your datacenter's logon server? you can btw cat /etc/passwd of your datacenters logon server to see if your account is listed there
[22:54] <vlt> Hello. What package do I need to install to enbale mounting an nfs share?
[22:54] <nich0s> Pelo: Hmm... just installed it and now it's telling me to verify the connection
[22:54] <nikrud> Steven1  sudo cfdisk /dev/<device>
[22:55] <amenado> Guardia1-> thats what were trying to figure out right now, what does the datacenter logon server do after you are logged on
[22:55] <unop_> Guardia1, can i just butt in and ask why an ssh tunnel doesn't work here?
[22:55] <Pelo> nich0s, anyting more specific  having to do with not finding /dev/video0 or something ?
[22:55] <amenado> unop_-> you're okay to get in the convo, im just trying to figure out what is supposed to happen once he logs on to the datacenter
[22:55] <nich0s> Pelo: My apologies. Yes, that's exactly it.
[22:56] <Guardia1> amenado > lol what are u on about? when i do ssh -L 20001:localhost:3306 username@ip, i get asked for pw, the im at where i norm run commands on my datacentre server
[22:56] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__, i dont understand ur code :(
[22:56] <Steven1> nikrud: 'bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[22:56] <Pelo> nich0s, that's the usual error msg that we get with webcams,   try using this tutorial to fix it
[22:56] <Pelo> !webcam > nich0s check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[22:56] <amenado> Guardia1-> you were not paying attention to my suggestions, i said   ssh -l myusername  serverip     we're trying to do this step by step...not skip
[22:57] <nich0s> Pelo: Thank you. :)
[22:57] <unop_> DeadLy_sp_, try and understand what this command does, you may understand then --   echo "the file you selected was: " $(zenity --list --radiolist --column "#" --column "file" *zip)

[22:58] <nikrud> Steven1 did you move it to sda ?
[22:58] <amenado> Guardia1-> right, and I asked you to type   grep myusername /etc/passwd  to see what kind of shell you get
[22:58] <Steven1> What what to sda? I thought it was hdb?
[22:58] <Guardia1> amenado > i said it does not do nothing
[22:58] <Guardia1> amenado > it stays the same..
[22:59] <nikrud> Steven1 only you know your disk names, I'm just throwing out examples.  hda , hdb , sda , sdb , one of those

[22:59] <Guardia1> amenado >(22:53:17) Guardia1: amenado > grep  myusername /etc/passwd does nothing
[22:59] <amenado> Guardia1-> the datacenter does not give you a shell?  there should have been an entry for myusername in /etc/passwd

[22:59] <Steven1> nikrud: OK I got it.

[23:00] <penguin> this causes the playback to stop
[23:00] <penguin> any ideas?
[23:00] <Guardia1> amenado > as soon as i type ssh anything, it runs it as a command in a terminal.
[23:00] <amenado> Guardia1-> i was expecting a result of something like mysql:x:xxxx:xxxxxyyy:MySQL Server,,,:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false

[23:00] <peter-> Hey, i got ubuntu and im trying to get work Anysee E30 c Plus DVB thing to work. But i dont get it work. When i launch kaffeine and going to Digital Tv selection and trying to select an channel, it crashes
[23:00] <Steven1> nikrud: It's showing Ext3 and swap.
[23:00] <unop_> amenado, from what i can remember, Guardia1 seems to want to run a script locally that interfaces with a mysql database located on a datacenter however the datacenter does not allow inbound connections on port 3306, so i suggested he setup a ssh tunnel to forward connections onto the remote database and modify the script accordingly
[23:00] <amenado> Guardia1-> i expected it to be run on a terminal..
[23:00] <Mitsunari> Thanks Pelo, ubotu. It's just that I've been in and out various sites today, tried a bunch, and havn't found one working/worth it.
[23:01] <spork969> is it possible for me to move an application from one menu to another?
[23:01] <Pelo> penguin, I assume you got all the dvd stuff installed ? the only other thing I can recommend is playing the vob files in the dvd
[23:01] <penguin> Pelo: I do have it all installed =/
[23:01] <amenado> unop_-> thats possible, am just trying to figure out once he logs on to the datacenter what does it do for him..gives him a shell? executes a command? what
[23:01] <Pelo> Mitsunari, personnaly I'm looking for a 3d quest myst type, I haven'T found one yet
[23:01] <Steven1> nikrud: I don't see any option to resize the ext3 partition.
[23:01] <nikrud> Steven1 cfdisk doesn't resize, so you'd delete existing partitions and create new ones. Complete data loss, remember. With gparted throwing errors, this is what I would do. You need to decide
[23:01] <Pelo> penguin, might be something wrong with the dvd
[23:02] <penguin> actuly.. I don't have this thing some site say to get "libdvdplay0" but I assume its something that is no longer needed and thats why it has been removed from the repository, Pelo.
[23:02] <unop_> DeadLy_sp_, it might be better to do this -- RUN=$(zenity --list --radiolist --column "#" --column "file" $ROMS_DIR/*.zip);
[23:02] <Steven1> Ah I see.
[23:02] <penguin> I have tryed 3dvds so far

[23:02] <Sonja> i just plugged in an usb xd card reader, and normally it automounts to the desktop, but it's not. how can i mount it?
[23:02] <Guardia1> amenado > what unop said, but the modify script? im bit lost now
[23:03] <hischild> PiousMinion, if you migh have noticed, we all precede answers with names. This way we keep track of who says what to who. Because there are so many people, we can offer much better and faster help.
[23:03] <nikrud> Steven1 before you do this, back up your /home/usname dir, that will preserve your settings, and !clone following will make it dead simple to get back your apps.
[23:03] <PiousMinion> nebnav: iwlist [iface] scan
[23:03] <Pelo> Sonja, put a card it in and then plug it

[23:03] <Sonja> Pelo that's what i did
[23:03] <amenado> Guardia1-> has this ever worked before?
[23:03] <Guardia1> amenado >  yes when port 3306 was not blocked
[23:03] <Pelo> Sonja, check in the my compute  filer fromt eh places menu,   see if you see it unmounted, right click mount if it is there
[23:03] <unop_> amenado, well, I think he gets a shell anyway since he can successfully logon --
[23:04] <unop_> Guardia1, you want to run the script on your local machine right?

[23:04] <Sonja> and it's worked in the past
[23:04] <PiousMinion> hischild: I have noticed and I am used to this, but the difficulty I have in reading all the messages in here leads me to believe that the persons who generously provide support might have the same difficulty.
[23:04] <penguin> Pelo: Ya I have been there =/
[23:04] <Pelo> Sonja, you say it usualy works ? then I don't know what could be the problem , sorry
[23:05] <Pelo> penguin, I mean review that you've done all of it
[23:05] <nikrud> Steven1 when you back up your home, be sure to get all the files/directories that start with a period, that's where your app settings are stored
[23:05] <Sonja> i guess i'll try rebooting :/
[23:05] <Johnson> has firefox been freezing a ton for people
[23:05] <penguin> Pelo: What I mean is that I have.
[23:05] <Guardia1> amenado > basically i have a server in a datacentre, with full control over it, i think all ports except port 3306.  I have a prog here, that runs and asks for info from the database in the datacentre server, however port 3306 is blocked
[23:05] <Steven1> nikrud: Which partiton do I set as primary? Windows or Linux?
[23:05] <Pelo> Johnson, it happens to me on occasions
[23:05] <hischild> PiousMinion, so far i haven't experienced trouble with it. If there is someone who has trouble in this, they can usually take it to pm or use an alternate solution such as the ubuntu-classroom.
[23:05] <scott_> i have been looking for a loan calculator that is like ms  moneys program is there one .
[23:05] <Steven1> nikrud: I don't think I'll worry about that. It's not that hard to get it back.
[23:05] <Pelo> penguin, no clue then , try looking up the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[23:05] <aetaric> johnson: if you are on hardy beta then its likely to happen it is using the firefox beta
[23:06] <Johnson> Pelo, i just feel like is been doing that gray out freeze thing a bunch reasonly
[23:06] <PiousMinion> hischild: ubuntu-classroom
[23:06] <PiousMinion> hischild: ?
[23:06] <pulpfiction> i'm trying to change the name of my harddisks which are automatically mounted
[23:06] <Steven1> nikrud: Or do I set them both as Logical?
[23:06] <Johnson> hmm i see
[23:06] <kaffien> what is the best way to go about installing nvidia drivers?
[23:06] <pulpfiction> so i'm there on the properties, tab volume, settings
[23:06] <unop> DeadLy_sp_, you need to explain more -- i can't read your mind, you know? ;)
[23:06] <kaffien> off the nvidia site?
[23:06] <amenado> Guardia1-> yes..however because the datacenter had blocked the port 3306,  i dont know what the logon at the center provides for you...you follow?
[23:06] <nikrud> Steven1 thats not what a primary partition is. Back in the day, disks using dos partitioning could only have 4 partitions. Then they set up a new scheme, extended and logical partitions. They let you have more than 4. windows should be on a primary at the beginning of the disk, linux doesn't care
[23:06] <pulpfiction> on the mount point, i already tried "drive_name" or "/media/drive_name", but didn't work
[23:06] <Guardia1> kaffien > allow restricted drives and then enable the nvidia driver, well it worked for me.
[23:06] <pulpfiction> what should i do?
[23:06] <Pelo> Johnson, it usu7aly happens to me when I have a bunch of tabs opened and I try to swith to a tab that isnT' fully loaded yet , not sure why
[23:07] <kaffien> Guardia1, i did that but its not showing up under there
[23:07] <Steven1> nikrud Ok thanks.
[23:07] <Guardia1> armando > i use ssh and i can install whatever i like on the box its dedi..
[23:07] <nebnav> PiousMinion: that doesn't work. it only shows information about one wireless connection.
[23:07] <Guardia1> kaffien > enable restricted sources
[23:07] <groov>  der arbeitslose
[23:07] <hischild> PiousMinion, when ppl are having trouble, they can go there and receive a step by step guide through. You may also notice it's much more quiet there.
[23:07] <amenado> Guardia1-> typically you would have the datacenter gives you a shell, then you telnet or ssh in once more towards your mysql server inside your datacenter.. you gets?
[23:07] <kaffien> i did
[23:07] <unop> amenado, but why would a script invoked on logon affect his ability to tunnel in, i dont understand -- he gets a shell anyway, that should be all that matters really -- unless you have another line of reasoning
[23:07] <groov> uh sorry!
[23:07] <nikrud> Steven1 so, you're only going to have 4, right? windows, ubuntu root, home, and swap?
[23:07] <PiousMinion> nebnav: if it only shows one, then that is all it is picking up.
[23:07] <kaffien> well i apt-get installed the packages anyhow
[23:07] <MAXIMVS> Hello! Need some help migrating from server Windows to Ubuntu... Exchange issues. Please IM me.
[23:07] <Steven1> nikrud: But Windows has to create it's own partition thought right? Or does cfdisk format NTFS as well?
[23:08] <kaffien> is there anything i need to DO after installing the restricted manager?
[23:08] <nebnav> PiousMinion: no, because NetworkManager picks up 12.
[23:08] <kaffien> to allow it to use the drivers?
[23:08] <Steven1> nikrud: That's the idea I think.
[23:08] <DeadLy_sp_> unop__ hehe sorry, hm, i put 30 roms in a dir, install the xmame and run a script and run zenity for select my rom and go to play
[23:08] <Guardia1> amenado > i have ssh, i dont sign into mysql direct, only the progs that are on the box do that locally
[23:08] <amenado> unop-> the network/sysadmin can perhaps give him a dummy shell or chrooted shell and it would not be able to go beyond the logon server..
[23:08] <PiousMinion> nebnav: check iwconfig to see if there are other wireless interfaces(virtual or not)
[23:08] <nikrud> Steven1 cfdisk won't format. Create 4 partitions, set one as ntfs , one as swap, and 2 as ext3. Then when you install, the formatting will be done then.
[23:08] <Guardia1> amenado > and so far ive just used the webmins function 2 manage the sql database on the dedi box
[23:09] <unop> DeadLy_sp_, xmame -options $(zenity --blah *.zip)
[23:09] <amenado> Guardia1-> lets approach this differently, if you were just inside your datacenter,  can you use the mysql client interactively in any machines located in the datacenter?
[23:09] <kaffien> Guardia1, do i have to do anything special to enable them after i install them?
[23:09] <Steven1> nikrud: Ok well I deleted the old partitions and now I'm trying to make new ones.
[23:09] <DeadLy_sp_> thanks unop !!
[23:09] <nikrud> Steven1 I think you figured 50gb for windows, so use 12gb for ubuntu root, say 512mb for swap, and the rest for /home
[23:10] <nikrud> Steven1 how much ram do you have?
[23:10] <Pelo> nikrud, 12 gig cor root ?
[23:10] <uma_> how i can associate dictionary with other languages. can i have the russian language support through dictionary
[23:10] <nebnav> PiousMinion: i could probably check the NetworkManager or Wifi-Radar code? thanks for the suggestions.
[23:10] <Pelo> for
[23:10] <amenado> unop-> an indication that he is really getting a shell, is to be able to see the /etc/passwd file right?
[23:10] <Steven1> nikrud: ok
[23:10] <Guardia1> kaffen > menu ~ system > administration > restricted drivers manager, it should show in there.
[23:10] <nikrud> Pelo plenty of room for software, and data in /var (like www and mysql or whatever)
[23:10] <Steven1> nikrud: about a gig I believe.
[23:10] <Pelo> uma_, youcan have multiplelanguages in the dictionnary must add them from synaptic
[23:10] <nikrud> Steven1 do you plan on hibernating this box?
[23:11] <Steven1> hibernating?
[23:11] <uma_> ok. thanks let me try through synaptic.
[23:11] <agelorus> Hey I was referred here to solve an issue, my X isn't starting
[23:11] <ethan961_> like bears/
[23:11] <ethan961_> ?
[23:11] <Guardia1> amenado > er i think so
[23:11] <amenado> Guardia1-> lets approach this differently, if you were just inside your datacenter,  can you use the mysql client interactively in any machines located in the datacenter?
[23:11] <Pelo> nikrud, i just wondered how you came up with 12 ,  I usualy tell them 5-10
[23:11] <unop> Guardia1,  if you setup a tunnel locally via the command "ssh -L 62101:datacenter_host:3306 -N datacenter_host" .. you can interrogate port 66101 locally and interact with the remote database .. so if your script talks to port 62101, it's actually accessing the database on the remote server, get me?

[23:19] <Bozza_> irc is racist ... why is it black on white ... why not white on black :P
[23:19] <Bozza_> damm
[23:20] <unop> Guardia1, but i dont think it should be a problem -- unless your system says localhost != 127.0.0.1
[23:20] <arnath> hi, my sound just stopped working on reboot, how can i see what the problem is?
[23:20] <Guardia1> unop > ok will try

[23:24] <hyw> Pelo: what do u mean
[23:24] <penguin> Pelo: Same error. Same spot.
[23:24] <amenado> Guardia1-> then why is it so important then to access the db at the datacenter via your scripts? can you try this manually?  which i have been trying to make you do, but to no avail
[23:24] <Bozza_> oh ... what did you do lately .. install anything ?
[23:24] <Bozza_> arnath

[23:25] <arnath> my sound is gone, does anyone know how i can find out what's wrong?
[23:25] <amenado> Guardia1-> program or scripts..same difference to me, what i wanted you to do is, log on to the datacenter and grab a data from your mysql db there, but you dont seem to know how manually
[23:25] <Pelo> hyw, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst file ?
[23:26] <hyw> Pelo: it used to work perfectly before installing Grub with SGD
[23:26] <home_> how is it that I print from the term.. I do not rember  I thought it was sumthing like "cat filename.txt > lpt"  but that is not working?
[23:26] <Pelo> hyw, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst file ?
[23:26] <Guardia1> amenado > not done it b4
[23:26] <penguin> Pelo: it is posible, but I don't understand why normal CDs would work, and the dvd menus would work.
[23:26] <Joeb454> Pelo, be patient ;)
[23:26] <pse> If I want to make my desktop "flashy".. which window manager is recommended? emerald? and what do I need if I want stuff "on" my desktop? (gdesklets and such) and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask these kind of quesions. :]

[23:27] <unop> amenado, i think he's programming an administration tool that he can use on his local machine that manipulates the remote database -- it makes sense not to manually unload the database, import a new one, and reload the database since it's all on the fly with little interruption
[23:27] <Pelo> hyw, hold on
[23:27] <Bozza_> arnath, does everything look alright . if you go into sound options
[23:27] <amenado> jake2point0-> what are you trying to do? it will if you dont know how to configure your route table
[23:27] <hyw> Pelo: differnt things sudo fdisk-l /etc/fstab

[23:28] <Bozza_> it has some test buttons which you can press
[23:28] <amenado> unop but you know as well as I do, before one can automate things, one has to be able to prove it can be done manually

[23:28] <Bozza_> haha anything working yet ?
[23:28] <jake2point0> amenado i have 2 locations, one wireless adaptor for home and one for work.

[23:28] <pac1> I've found a bug in an ubuntu package.  Trang 20030619-5.1ubuntu2 is not the latest source.  The latest is 20030619-5.2. it fixes a bug that makes trang unusable (gcj was upgraded. 5.1 no longer works. 5.2 should fix it.)  How do I check to see if this has been reported and report it if it hasn't been entered?
[23:28] <Bozza_> see if that helps
[23:29] <amenado> jake2point0-> it dont matter, just be aware -- you have to manipulate the route table to make it work, its your call
[23:29] <jake2point0> amendo both are not supported by linux unless you use the ndiswrapper
[23:29] <hyw> Pelo: how do I check
[23:29] <jake2point0> amenado couldnt i just somehow disable the one and enable the other?

[23:30] <arnath> Bozza_: yup
[23:30] <Bozza_> double click on the speaker on the right hand corner
[23:30] <unop> Guardia1, well, the only difference with the port being blocked is that you have to tunnel in and use a different socket, otherwise, the operation should be almost transparent
[23:30] <jake2point0> amenado thats what im trying to figure out sir
[23:30] <Bozza_> put all the bars to their maximum ,, maybe that will do something
[23:30] <amenado> jake2point0-> you have heard of  ifdown wlan1 or ifdown wlan0 ?  :P

[23:55] <kindofabuzz> i know there are backgrounds with clocks built in
[23:55] <Odd-rationale> stefg: Well. it does not have a fstab entry
[23:55] <kindofabuzz> just use screenlets
[23:55] <Strife89> Quick question. Is it possible to run Windows Live Messenger n Ubuntu via Wine?
[23:55] <jake2point0> anyone know how to get an unsupported wireless usb dongle to work in linux?  i already loaded the usb driver sucessfully but cant find it as a wlan1 or wlan0 yet.  help
[23:55] <unop__> HardyOne, it's easy to script something like that, change the background based on some condition
[23:55] <sz90> is there a way to make gnome remember your font settings (such as application font size)?
[23:55] <aetaric> strife89: maybe
[23:55] <stefg> Odd-rationale: ah, right... you said so. Hmm, maybe hal got confused. i would try a simple reboot, chances are that'll fix it
[23:56] <aetaric> give it a shot
[23:56] <Odd-rationale> stefg: Tried that already...
[23:56] <akaineko> is there a way to make icons on desktop to be smaller, all one size
[23:56] <HardyOne> unop__, I would like to see something that would change according to time and also local weather conditions....
[23:56] <kindofabuzz> Strife89: is live messenger same as classic messenger?
[23:56] <Strife89> Do I need to copy installed files from a Windows installation? I doubt the install executable would work.
[23:56] <Guardia1> unop > is there somewhere i can send u full links etc with ips in, i dont want 2 post them in a global chat really
[23:56] <aetaric> akaineko: system>prefs>icons?

[23:57] <jake2point0> aMSN is cool
[23:57] <Stroganoff> is it?
[23:57] <unop__> Guardia1, you can pm me
[23:57] <kindofabuzz> i like kopete
[23:57] <jake2point0> and for yahoo i use GyachI
[23:57] <Stroganoff> miranda is still the best one
[23:57] <Strife89> I know about Pidgen (I'm using it now) and aMSN, but my brother likes neither.
[23:57] <Guardia1> unop > did u get that pm unop?
