[00:00] <esl> i got it i just use the school computer
[00:00] <guish> why you would like change the user of /var/www
[00:00] <CannibalM> Danish,
[00:00] <CannibalM> when you boot up try turning your speakers off.
[00:00] <CannibalM> Still getting a static sound?
[00:00] <CannibalM> er.. not off, but wayyyyy down.
[00:00] <dmsuperman> sjovan: http://pastebin.com/m34ea55ae
[00:01] <Danish989> yeah, because when I play some music in ubuntu, the music is really low but the static sound is more dominantly heard .....
[00:01] <CannibalM> See if its EMI static, ie power gen across the speaker lines,
[00:01] <detedagowa> damn puppy linux is way top big
[00:01] <CannibalM> oh ok, so its
[00:01] <Danish989> I know the kind of static sound you get when your speakers are turned up way too high, but that's not the problem here
[00:01] <CannibalM> driver like issue
[00:01] <DIL> 8o mb
[00:01] <devil> how can i use the flash player in ubuntu system
[00:01] <dubby> anyone know how to run mac os x programs on linux?
[00:01] <Danish989> yeah .. is it possible im only having this problem because its a live session? my sound card is creative soundblaster live 16 bit
[00:02] <CannibalM> could be just crappy drivers,
[00:02] <Starnestommy> devil: try installing the flashplugin-nonfree package
[00:02] <CannibalM> and from my understanding (limited)
[00:02] <sjovan> dmsuperman: okay... so what would you like the stuff to be then? owner = , other = ?
[00:02] <CannibalM> that its driver issues plaguing linux
[00:02] <CannibalM> kind of like the whole Nvidia thing
[00:02] <Danish989> restricted drivers, thing?
[00:02] <dmsuperman> sjovan: I'm just trying to get ANY chmod to work. I was going for 777 to see if it would change
[00:03] <dmsuperman> sjovan: and I've also got /media/sdb2/DocRoot mounted as /var/www, trying the same commands on /var/www result in the same thing: nothing
[00:03] <devil> does the ubuntu 8.04 system has the flash player
[00:03] <sjovan> dmsuperman: well, i don't know anything about the number codes, but have you tryed like sudo chmod -R a=r /dir/to/dfolder etc?
[00:03] <dmsuperman> sjovan: 777 = rwxrwxrwx
[00:03] <Starnestommy> dmsuperman: if it's mounted and not on the main file system, you may need to change the mount permissions in /etc/fstab
[00:04] <dmsuperman> Starnestommy: How can I do that?
[00:04] <devil> or i need download dy mysllf
[00:04] <Starnestommy> devil: #ubuntu+1 is for Ubuntu 8.04 support
[00:04] <guish> good idea Starnestommy
[00:04] <sjovan> dmsuperman: that command would give all read-only
[00:04] <detedagowa> How would i go about doiung a net install fo ubuntu on a laptop with no cdrom drive
[00:04] <jcornwall> you bought an Air? :o
[00:04] <Danish989> detedagowa, you can install from a usb
[00:05] <detedagowa> well i dont have a flash drive either otherwise id try that
[00:05] <Danish989> did you try google-ing?
[00:05] <detedagowa> yea
[00:05] <greencookie> Hi everyone, I currently have archlinux installed on my system, I want to just delete the operating system and put ubuntu (arch is kinda a lil too advanced for me). Is there a way to do this without destroying my /home directory?
[00:05] <greencookie> i want to install gutsy
[00:05] <dmsuperman> Starnestommy: "/media/sdb2/DocRoot /var/www  defaults,umask=000  bind 0 0" is my current line for fstab
[00:05] <sidewalk> how do you guys recommend setting up Ubuntu so that i remotely can login to it, with gui?
[00:06] <sjovan> dmsuperman: so did the command i told you work? a=rwx would be the same as 777, try it :)
[00:06] <jcornwall> detedagowa, can you boot Windows at the moment?
[00:06] <greencookie> sidewalk: if you wanna use ur computer while ure at school or work then yes.
[00:06] <N3WFI3> does teamspeak work with ubuntu, i cant get my mic to record :(
[00:06] <greencookie> sry
[00:06] <detedagowa> no
[00:06] <guish> good night all
[00:06] <detedagowa> it has no OS installed
[00:06] <jcornwall> oh.. was going to suggest the new Wubi installer :(
[00:06] <sidewalk> greencookie: but how, not if :-)
[00:07] <devil> how can i use the gcc in ubuntu?
[00:07] <dmsuperman> sjovan: Same deal, the permissions won't budge. They're all stuck rwxrwx---
[00:07] <sidewalk> is "Remote desktop" what i would like to use, or how would you else recommend the usage?
[00:07] <hatter> I have a usb printer plugged into my debian box on the network that i can connect to and print a test page from system - administration - printing -  but i cant figure oout how to add it to my ubuntu desktop
[00:07] <Starnestommy> devil: install build-essential
[00:07] <jcornwall> detedagowa, I guess you could try a PXE netboot if it supports it, but that's real messy to set up
[00:07] <detedagowa> how do i do that?
[00:08] <jcornwall> detedagowa, it's a bit involved - Google suggests this http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[00:08] <lewench> Might anyone know why my mic volume goes down when I turn the nob to my volume button? I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard.
[00:08] <jcornwall> see if your BIOS supports it, though - not all do, particularly laptops
[00:08] <detedagowa> my bios supports a netboot
[00:08] <norty> Question: I am using a lab computer and I don't know how to print a pdf to a specific printer. I open the pdf using adobe reader and for printer it says custom but has no other options.. can someone help me?
[00:09] <detedagowa> network boot orwhatever
[00:09] <Danish989> PXE ... I read about that when I was studying for my mcp exam .. what did it stand for again?
[00:09] <lewench> Might anyone know why my mic volume goes down when I turn the nob to my volume button? I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard.
[00:09] <jcornwall> detedagowa, yeah, that's it - give that tutorial a try, you need another machine to set up a PXE server from
[00:10] <jcornwall> only way I can think of if you have no USB/CDROM
[00:10] <devil> what's the different between the 8.04and 7.10
[00:10] <detedagowa> i have my main box that im on now so should i plug my laptop into the network?
[00:10] <sjovan> dmsuperman: wierd. sorry, but then i can't help you :/
[00:10] <jcornwall> detedagowa, yup, that's how it'll communicate
[00:10] <Starnestommy> devil: 8.04 is a newer, beta version of ubuntu. 7.10 is the current, working version
[00:10] <detedagowa> ok and then start it up after what?
[00:10] <jcornwall> the link full of scary commands I pasted ^^ :)
[00:11] <detedagowa> im running em now lol
[00:11] <eTiger13> why am i not getting prompted for a password when doing a sudo command anymore?
[00:11] <Starnestommy> eTiger13: is it never prompting you even if you wait 15 minutes between sudo commands?
[00:11] <Danish989> can I install xchat or any other software on a ubuntu live session?
[00:12] <CannibalM> sudo apt-get install networkformater.v7.56.tar.gz w00t
[00:12] <detedagowa> tftp: command not found
[00:12] <detedagowa> shows up with the second command
[00:12] <eTiger13> Starnestommy, I sshed in and it doesnt prompt
[00:12] <lewench> Might anyone know why my mic volume goes down when I turn the nob to my volume button? I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard.
[00:12] <jcornwall> detedagowa, did you install the packages it said first?
[00:12] <norty> Question: I am using a lab computer and I don't know how to print a pdf to a specific printer. I open the pdf using adobe reader and for printer it says custom but has no other options.. can someone help me?
[00:12] <Danish989> can I install xchat or any other software on a ubuntu live session? or the instant messenger pre installed in ubuntu, does that have IRC ?
[00:12] <detedagowa> im trying
[00:12] <detedagowa> yes i did
[00:13] <Simpl3x> ok, so can someone please continue to help me, I was on here before but had to leave. My /boot partition seems to have gone kaputs
[00:13] <Simpl3x> it's still there, still mounts and still has stuff on it
[00:13] <jcornwall> detedagowa, hmm.. just sudo apt-get install tftp then
[00:13] <Simpl3x> but I can't boot to my kernel
[00:13] <jcornwall> detedagowa, doesn't bode well for the rest of the tutorial though :)
[00:13] <Starnestommy> Danish989: I think so on both questions
[00:13] <Danish989> starnestommy, whats the name of the IM program preinstalled in ubuntu?
[00:13] <todd_> is there a separate channel for Hoary Beta questions?
[00:13] <Nith> Danish989: pidgen
[00:13] <Starnestommy> Danish989: it's either gaim or pidgin, but I think xchat-gnome may also be there
[00:14] <Starnestommy> todd_: try #ubuntu+1
[00:14] <Nith> *pidgin
[00:14] <Simpl3x> Starnestommy: no, xchat-gnome is not installed by default
[00:14] <lewench> Might anyone know why my mic volume goes down when I turn the nob to my volume button? I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard.
[00:14] <detedagowa> i just dont get this
[00:14] <Simpl3x> Starnestommy: not to meantion xchat-gnome is very gimped compared to just xchat, at least that's how I felt about it
[00:15] <slashzul_> Im looking for a serial program similar to the terminal program in windows
[00:15] <slashzul_> anyu suggestions?
[00:15] <Danish989> thanks a lot nith and starnestommy

[00:17] <x0x> how to install Debian Package?
[00:17] <Starnestommy> x0x: dpkg -i package.deb, but it might not work in ubuntu
[00:17] <x0x> tnx
[00:17] <larson9999> Nith, thanks but i meant to ask slashzul what he meant by serial program in windows.
[00:17] <Starnestommy> if the .deb is made specifically for debian
[00:17] <Nith> dpkg is installed me thinks

[00:19] <TwinX> norty; do you have cupsys and gnome-cups-manager installed ?
[00:19] <CannibalM> whoever wants help, send me a picture of a cake you baked for me with my name on it. And I will assist. Deal?
[00:19] <tanner> TwinX sorry I didn't see you wrote in the private chat
[00:19] <jcornwall> detedagowa, if the file doesn't exist, just make it
[00:19] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Sorry if this seems stupid, but how do you add programs to auto start?
[00:19] <lewench> Might anyone know why my mic volume goes down when I turn the nob to my volume button? I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard. Anyone??
[00:19] <elmer> Starnestommy, uh... I think it might be because I hit the restart button on my case while in windows, which just cuts power
[00:19] <Stewie_Griffin> TwinX, bribery for help...non..ubuntero like :D
[00:20] <TwinX> :)
[00:20] <wapko> TeamColtra[NADC]: goto system/preferences/session
[00:20] <alex123> hi guys. for some reason nautilus doesn't show icon previews on my main ext3 partition. it works on the ntfs partition tho!
[00:20] <norty> TwinX, I dont know, i am running ubuntu but not gnome, it has like xterm and stuff... x windows manager maybe?
[00:20] <detedagowa> jcornwal: How do i make files?
[00:20] <TeamColtra[NADC]> lewench, does it go down either way?
[00:20] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Like if you turn your volume up or down?
[00:20] <alex123> is there a way to fix it?
[00:20] <wapko> TeamColtra[NADC]: and add the programs you want to autostary
[00:20] <NBrepresent> hi, i'm trying to change my jvm , i've installed the sun java packages and edited my etc/jvm file so that the sun java is on top, but when i do java -version , it's still the 1.4 version, not the new one. any suggestions?
[00:20] <Max_-> Hi, I've just installed teamspeak and for some reason I can't Self->unmute mic and speakers.... ?! any idea about this?!?!?
[00:20] <lewench> TeamColtra[NADC], No, only the mic goes down. I was wondering if there is a configuration for this
[00:20] <jcornwall> detedagowa, with your text editor of choice
[00:20] <jcornwall> just save to /etc/inetd.conf
[00:20] <detedagowa> k
[00:20] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Wapko, thats what i am asking, is how I do that. :)
[00:21] <Nith> NBrepresent: check /etc/environment and see what your PATH variable says
[00:21] <henning> y hallo thar
[00:21] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Lewench, so instead of controlling your speaker  volume, it controlls your mic volume?
[00:21] <TwinX> norty; I think you need cupsys and maybe xprint
[00:21] <dogmeat> whilst holding my loins, im upgrading to 7.10
[00:21] <lewench> TeamColtra[NADC], Yes
[00:21] <lewench> weird i know TeamColtra[NADC]
[00:21] <hatter> where do i find gnome-cups-manager after its installed ?
[00:21] <NBrepresent> Nith: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[00:22] <TeamColtra[NADC]> lewench, after you figure out... tell me, because controlling my mic volume is more important to me then speaker volume, and that would come in handy
[00:22] <Smokey> go 8.04
[00:22] <TeamColtra[NADC]> :) I *WISH* I had your error ;)
[00:22] <lewench> TeamColtra[NADC], hahaha ok
[00:22] <wapko> TeamColtra[NADC]: you just click the +add button and type in the name of the program and the command you use to launch it. then click ok, and it should star the next time you log in
[00:22] <detedagowa> wnot let me save the file WTF
[00:22] <NBrepresent> i throw the java directories in PATH then?
[00:22] <Orbixx> Can someone link me to the Ubuntu Repos?
[00:22] <henning> can anyone tell me about krunner?
[00:22] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Wapko, wow i wish i wasn't stupid >.<
[00:22] <TeamColtra[NADC]> :D tahnks

[00:23] <Orbixx> Oh.
[00:23] <Orbixx> Just lag.
[00:23] <nickrud> big lag
[00:23] <Orbixx> nickrud: It's server edition.

[00:23] <CannibalM> You fail at failing. (Got to love those posters!)
[00:23] <CannibalM> lol
[00:23] <hatter> is the gnome-cups-manager the -> system-administration->pritners ?
[00:23] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Lewench >>> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612432
[00:23] <nickrud> Orbixx ah, then I'm not sure where a master list is kept. Did you do harm to yours?
[00:24] <NBrepresent> Nith: hello? what do i do with the PATH ?
[00:24] <hatter> which is listed as system-config-printer.py 0.7.75 ?
[00:24] <lewench> In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD7QraljRfM after the drags a window and places is somewhere else there is like a ripple effect on the sides. Anyone know what that option is ???
[00:24] <Nith> NBrepresent: there's likely a better way to do it but /usr/bin has a link to the jvm, its possible it'll work if you relink that ot what you want
[00:24] <henning> Question: I'm using Quicksilver on the Mac, is KRunner comparable?
[00:24] <Nith> NBrepresent: but beyond that I dunno
[00:24] <Orbixx> No, my list is full of my server provider's own repos to save bandwidth.
[00:24] <Orbixx> I want to change them.
[00:24] <bastid_raZor> Orbixx; the file is located in /etc/apt/sources.list

[00:24] <Orbixx> bastid_raZor: I know that...
[00:24] <NBrepresent> i understand
[00:24] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Lewench, Assuming you're using GNOME, you need to go into System>Preferences>Sound. At the bottom of that window there's a list. The mic will be selected. Change that to your speaker's channel (you may have to experiment to find the one. Names vary from card to card)
[00:24] <Orbixx> I'm asking for the actual REAL original repos.
[00:24] <NBrepresent> thanks, i'll check the link

[00:27] <nickrud> hatter yes. it's in the system-config-printer package
[00:28] <hatter> nickrud, that program lets me connect to the remote printer with 'goto server' but then how do i make it available as a printer to other programs ?
[00:28] <bastid_raZor> Orbixx;   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62689/

[00:29] <nickrud> hatter that is, the leftmost button on the tool bar
[00:29] <detedagowa> DAMN is there any other way to install linux? can i run a ethernet from one pc to the other direct?
[00:29] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Is there a place in Ubuntu that would be the equivilant of Program Files? Where all the programs are located? I am looking for gaim (i thought it would be usr/bin)
[00:29] <CloudFX> can i get assistance to run a virtual machine on Ubuntu?
[00:29] <hatter> nickrud, the left most button on mine is 'new printer'

[00:31] <TeamColtra[NADC]> CloudFX I didn't think to search for Pidgen >.< I am just not thinking today
[00:32] <Totem> Joel: I got all the internet working, thanks
[00:32] <nickrud> #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1 romelo
[00:32] <elmer> and now when I star the LiveCD it gives this: [ 311.636000] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[00:32] <elmer> PLEASE HELP
[00:32] <hatter> nickrud, are you on feisty ?
[00:32] <Totem> How would I go about getting a list of all the hardware I have installed?
[00:32] <Totem> Mainly my graphics card
[00:32] <hatter> nickrud, mine says 0.7.75
[00:32] <nickrud> hatter no, hardy (but ask me no hardy questions, and I'll tell you no lies)
[00:32] <hatter> nickrud, oh.
[00:33] <hatter> nickrud, mine must be broken
[00:33] <romelo> CloudFX, thanks CloudFX :-)
[00:33] <CloudFX> Totem: I believe your graphics card info can be found with the input lspci
[00:33] <detedagowa> how can i update from 7.10 to 8. whatever inside of linux
[00:33] <hatter> how long until hardy is stable ?
[00:33] <TeamColtra[NADC]> CloudFX, I don't want the pidgen that is in /usr/share/applications ?
[00:33] <nickrud> a few weeks
[00:33] <hatter> oh,  14 days
[00:33] <CloudFX> TeamColtra[NADC]: /usr/bin/
[00:33] <Totem> hello?
[00:33] <hatter> nickrud, have you had any problems ?
[00:33] <danbhfive> hatter: 15 days
[00:33] <detedagowa> can i get hardy now?
[00:34] <Totem> how can I get the name of my graphics card?
[00:34] <CloudFX> Totem: I believe your graphics card info can be found with the input lspci
[00:34] <nickrud> hatter detedagowa ask me no hardy questions, I'll tell you no lies #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[00:34] <Totem> thanks
[00:34] <Danish989> why can't I access my SATA hard disks in this ubuntu live session?
[00:34] <TeamColtra[NADC]> CloudFX Okay, just checking because i found it in both
[00:34] <Danish989> and they are both formatted with the NTFS file system ... what might be the reason why I can't access them? I can acess my other hard disk that is formatted with Fat32
[00:34] <Danish989> and I'm using Gutsy Gibbons (which has ntfs-3g preinstalled) so I should be able to read/write to ntfs fine ... but I can't even access it
[00:35] <nickrud> Danish989  ls /dev/sd*  , do you see some drives listed there?
[00:35] <hatter> nickrud, np
[00:36] <Danish989> I don't get you nickrud
[00:36] <nickrud> Danish989 that's a command you would type into a terminal, it lists the scsi disk devices recognized by the kernel (linux)
[00:37] <Danish989> the command is  " Is /dev/sd* "  ??
[00:37] <Danish989> (without the colons of course)
[00:37] <nickrud> Danish989 LS , small case
[00:37] <elmer> Please help me!
[00:37] <elmer> and now when I star the LiveCD it gives this: [ 311.636000] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[00:37] <elmer> I am trying to fix GRUB error 25
[00:37] <elmer> PLEASE HELP
[00:37] <elmer> I just want my computer to work
[00:38] <Nith> elmer: #grub will likely be better for your issue
[00:38] <Starnestommy> elmer: I think it's a hardware or bios problem
[00:38] <Danish989> yes nickrud, it gave me a list of hard disks
[00:39] <elmer> last time I was able to fix it by using the LiveCD to boot from first hard disk
[00:39] <elmer> now it won't work
[00:39] <nickrud> Danish989 so the devices are there. Now, when you say you 'cant' even access it' , just what exactly are you talking about? How are you trying to access it?
[00:39] <lewench> Is ubuntu tweak worth getting for someone new to ubuntu/ Kinda knows linux?
[00:40] <elmer> Starnestommy, uh... I think it might be because I hit the restart button on my case while in windows, which just cuts power
[00:40] <nickrud> lewench what is ubuntu tweak (I'm always suspicious)
[00:40] <elmer> Starnestommy, but I fixed it last time by using the LiveCD to boot from first hard disk
[00:40] <elmer> that doesn't work now
[00:40] <Starnestommy> elmer: how old is this hard disk?
[00:40] <elmer> 3 months
[00:40] <elmer> literally
[00:40] <elmer> YES!
[00:40] <lewench> nickrud, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[00:41] <fr0ggy> Quick question. Ubuntu v-7.10 is supported 'till 2009. If a newer version was to come out, let's say v-7.11 perse, is there a feature in ubuntu that will allow me to update to the latest version? Or do I have to uninstall my existing version and start from scratch?
[00:41] <TwinX> elmer try to startup windows and shutdown properly and try again
[00:41] <elmer> LiveCD is booting!
[00:41] <Danish989> im trying to access them using the ubuntu file browser .. so I can see the folders and files
[00:41] <elmer> TwinX, GRUB isn't working, I can't
[00:41] <lewench> nickrud, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html an explanation
[00:41] <Danish989> when I double click on my SATA hard disks (that are formatted with NTFS) nothing happens at all .... when I double click the other hard disks, I can see the folders and files in that hard disk
[00:42] <Danish989> can this be because im on a live session?
[00:42] <noodles12> just got virtual box working. how do i make the screen bigger? i did full size but it shows the same size screen and the rest is blacked out
[00:42] <danbhfive> fr0ggis: you will be able upgrade
[00:43] <Gnea> Danish989: probably. you're gonna need ntfs-3g
[00:43] <nickrud> lewench I've seen these before, they don't do anything more than gconf-editor does
[00:43] <TwinX> Danish989;  maybe you need to install ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g or try to access them as root
[00:44] <unop> lewench, looks jazzy but i can say that it's probably not officially supported
[00:44] <lewench> nickrud, Ah ok
[00:44] <Danish989> but isnt ntfs-3g already installed in gutsy gibbons?
[00:44] <TwinX> noodles12; whats the resolution of your guest machine?
[00:44]  * nickrud never uses the live cd, so will bow out
[00:44] <Gnea> Danish989: check to see how it's mounted, if it is.. and if it isn't, see what the kernel has to say about it
[00:44] <Danish989> how do I do that gnea?
[00:45] <trentor> hola
[00:45] <noodles12> TwinX: i have no idea. there wasnt' anyway of changing it during the set-up. so whateve rthe default is?
[00:45] <Gnea> Danish989: this your first time using linux? you're gonna need to open a terminal and use the command line
[00:45] <sypher7> hey room. i just upgraded to hardy beta. seems that seahorse/keyring stuff isn't working correctly. when using ssh, i get a passphrase prompt in the terminal, but not a GUI one. it's like seahorse isn't catching it. any ideas?
[00:45] <TwinX> noodles12; try pressing your RIGHT CTRL key and F
[00:45] <todd_> does anyone have any experience using the Screens and Graphics tool to setup dual head monitors using a single video card?
[00:45] <Andrewm> is eeexubuntu an offical verion ubuntu?
[00:45] <Andrewm> !eeexubuntu
[00:45] <bastid_raZor> fr0ggy; 7.10 will stay 7.10 it'll never change.. you'll stay up to date with the normal updates.. 8.04 is the next version which you'll have the option to upgrade or not
[00:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eeexubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:45] <Starnestommy> !hardy | sypher7
[00:45] <ubotu> sypher7: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[00:46] <sypher7> thanks ubotu
[00:46] <Soleone> hi
[00:46] <lewench> todd_, Try sudo ./nvidia-settings if you have an nvidia card, its the only thing I read and it worked for me
[00:46] <Danish989> also, when I click on the hard disks, on the bottom a process starts which says "starting admins..." but then it closes by itself
[00:46] <Soleone> can anyone tell me if i can safely just install java5 via apt-get install sun-java5-jdk ?
[00:46] <todd_> lewench: ATI here, and I'm using the xorg ati driver
[00:46] <josedenoche> hola
[00:47] <lewench> todd_, Sorry can't help you, thats as far as I go lol
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> !java | Soleone
[00:47] <ubotu> Soleone: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[00:48] <Danish989> how do I check if NTFS-3g is installed or not?
[00:48] <Gnea> Danish989: df will show you what's mounted, dmesg will tell you the kernel messages
[00:48] <nickrud> Danish989  dpkg -l ntfs-3g
[00:48] <unop_> Danish989, search in synaptic?
[00:48] <josedenoche> its it posible to get the GifTOXIC download a bit faster??
[00:48] <Danish989> ok, I used the df command and on the list I only see /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda1
[00:49] <Danish989> but I have 2 more hard disks .. and they aren't present on this list
[00:49] <trentor> q es eso de gif toxic jose
[00:49] <Gnea> Danish989: if they aren'ted mounted in /media/SOMETHING then that's probably not them... df -Th  will show you what FS they use
[00:49] <Soleone> bastid_raZor: thx
[00:50] <Danish989> ntfs-3g is installed, so that is not the problem
[00:50] <Totem> how to I run files with the extension .run?
[00:50] <raj__> my englis not so good
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[00:50] <ubotu> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[00:50] <unop_> Danish989, maybe this command lists the other missing partitions.  sudo fdisk -l
[00:50] <soundray> Totem: avoid it when you can. What does this .run file do?
[00:50] <trentor> ok
[00:51] <Totem> soundray: it is an automated graphics driver installation
[00:51] <Gnea> Danish989: could be the ntfs journal is borked or maybe you just need to mount them as root somewhere
[00:51] <soundray> Totem: for what card?
[00:51] <Totem> soundray: why should I avoid it?
[00:51] <Danish989> yes, it does .. I can see /dev/sda 1 , sda2, sda3, and sda5
[00:51] <Totem> soundray: ati 9200 Pro
[00:51] <Danish989> but only sda5 and sda1 are mounted (as I saw by the df command)
[00:52] <elmer> so if I just delete my Ubuntu partition, will GRUB be gone?
[00:52] <soundray> Totem: because Ubuntu supplies packaged drivers for ATI cards. They continue working after kernel upgrades etc.
[00:52] <unop_> Danish989, well, now that you've seen that output, which device do you want mounting?
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, no the mbr will still have some of the info
[00:52] <Totem> soundray: where do I get those? And what is wrong with .run files?
[00:52] <soundray> Totem: System-Administration-Restricted Drivers Manager to enable them
[00:53] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, do you know how I would erase that?
[00:53] <Danish989> do you think I'm not going to have the same problem after installing ubuntu?
[00:53] <danbhfive> elmer: are you trying to use windows?
[00:53] <Totem> soundray: I don't seem to have a Restricted Drivers Manager in my administration menu
[00:53] <strabes> I'm experiencing a weird issue with capslock. Basically the LED on my laptop is reversed. When capital letters are not being outputted, the LED is on. When they are, it's off. Any ideas?
[00:53] <soundray> Totem: there is nothing wrong with them per se, except that you bypass the package management system, which means that whenever you do an update, your risk breaking your graphics
[00:53] <soundray> Totem: are you on gutsy?
[00:53] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, Go to #Windows and ask them how to boot windows cd and do a fixmbr
[00:53] <Totem> soundray: hardy
[00:53] <elmer> danbhfive, I am trying to get windows to boot
[00:54] <unop_> !who | Danish989
[00:54] <ubotu> Danish989: 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 :)
[00:54] <Gnea> Danish989: a livecd usually doesn't have everything setup the same way as a full installation, which is more likely to automate and mount other hard drives
[00:54] <soundray> Totem: then you should install the package jockey-gtk and run jockey-gtk (and you should really be asking in #ubuntu+1 -- this channel is for released versions only)
[00:54] <ropoy> hello
[00:55] <danbhfive> elmer: what Jack_Sparrow said is correct, you gota do some sorta fixmbr thing, and #windows is a good place to ask
[00:55] <josedenoche> does anyone knows how to configure gifToxic to download a bit faster??
[00:55] <ropoy> may i know where did my netbeans installation go, i want to launch it
[00:55] <Totem> soundray: oh, ok. I figured that was a pretty generic question. Well, for the future, how to I run .run files?
[00:55] <strabes> I'm experiencing a weird issue with capslock. Basically the LED on my laptop is reversed. When capital letters are not being outputted, the LED is on. When they are, it's off. Any ideas?
[00:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Totem, Read the howto on the site where you got the .run file
[00:56] <soundray> Totem: you follow the instructions of whoever has supplied them. But I still recommend against it.
[00:56] <Alan_M> strabes, thats...very strange.
[00:56] <TeamColtra[NADC]> I am trying to install amsn, however, when i go to the project website, I am accosted with links to links of which version i should install, I clicked ubutnu, then gutsy, and then I still don't see a download link...Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:56] <ropoy> may i know where did my netbeans installation go, i want to launch it
[00:56] <strabes> Alan_M: yeah, i know haha
[00:56] <TaRDy> how well does ubuntu play with lenovo laptops?
[00:56] <LjL> TeamColtra[NADC]: uh... why don't you just get it from the repositories?
[00:56] <strabes> TaRDy: very well. thinkpads generally run linux extremly well
[00:57] <elmer> I can get to the terminal on Ubuntu LiveCD, can I clear the MBR from there?
[00:57] <soundray> TaRDy: generally, Lenovo machines are among the best supported. See tuxmobil.org for installation reports on specific models
[00:57] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, no
[00:57] <redtide> ok..this is a really noob question I'm sure of it, but how do i get the search function in the file browser to work? I doesn't even find things that I know are there...no results at all?
[00:57] <TaRDy> probably
[00:57] <TeamColtra[NADC]> LjL would that be my Add/Remove area?
[00:57] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, DANGIT
[00:57] <TeamColtra[NADC]> redtide, ctrl F
[00:57] <soundray> TaRDy: you may still get the odd device that doesn't fully work -- integrated modems are notorious
[00:57] <LjL> TeamColtra[NADC]: it's probably in Add/Remove too, but more generally it will be in Synaptic, and i could also just tell you to go in a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install amsn
[00:57] <TaRDy> thank you soundray and strabes , I am considering purchasing one ATM
[00:57] <LjL> !software > TeamColtra[NADC]    (TeamColtra[NADC], see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:58] <ropoy> hello does anybody know where did my netbeans installation go
[00:58] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, you can get the live cd to restore grub, but as you said you are removing Ubuntu so YOu need to got oWindows
[00:58] <Totem> soundray: there is not a universal way to run it?
[00:58] <redtide> thanks i will see if that works...though why doesn't the search button in the file system browser work?
[00:58] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, I am not removing Ubuntu. I would if I had to, though
[00:58] <Totem> soundray: I can't find anything on the website
[00:58] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, how do I get it to restore GRUB?
[00:58] <maarek_> darn, I should have grabbed a slot when it was avaliable (google app engine)
[00:58] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, I was just going by what you said earlier.
[00:58] <soundray> Totem: no, there isn't. Did you try jockey-gtk?
[00:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[00:58] <TeamColtra[NADC]> LjL your a mans man (unless you are a woman, in which case you are a good woman) :) Thanks
[00:58] <ubotu> 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
[00:59] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, OK, thanks..
[00:59] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, how do I get it to restore GRUB?
[00:59] <elmer> PLEASE TELL ME
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> LOOK UP
[00:59] <Gnea> !caps | elmer
[00:59] <ubotu> elmer: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub > elmer
[01:00] <Gnea> elmer: please read the grub howto.
[01:00] <javagamer> Does anyone know how to get Evolution to send .mac mail?  I looked online and I couldn't find anything.
[01:00] <soundray> elmer: turn your eyeballs upwards so you see what ubotu just said
[01:00] <Alan_M> elmer, please see the private message that ubotu just gave you, thank you :D
[01:00] <elmer> Alan_M, Oh! Right...
[01:01] <Danish989> can anyone tell me how I can mount my hard disks?
[01:01]  * Alan_M grins
[01:01] <soundray> !mount | Danish989
[01:01] <ubotu> Danish989: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[01:01] <soundray> !fstab | Danish989
[01:01] <ubotu> Danish989: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[01:01] <MTecknology> if I do mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb, will that automatically make a partition 1 that spans the whole drive?
[01:01] <TeamColtra[NADC]> I don't think I have ever seen a cooler bot system then ubotu
[01:01] <Randocal> I'm reading a howto for getting compiz workign with my ATI card that indicates that ATI has released version 8.42 of their driver, yet when i go to their site i'm only seeing 8.3 which i currently have installed (8.37.6 to be exact). How do I get my hands on 8.42?
[01:02] <redtide> Teamcoltra, no dice on control f, seems only to find things in what i have open at the time. i need to search the entire filesystem
[01:02] <TeamColtra[NADC]> redtide, I am sorry thats what i thought you meant
[01:02] <bruno> ubunto brasil?
[01:02] <bruno> alguem sabe?
[01:02] <pikeshouse88> can someone please explain to me why ubuntu can't run macbook wireless out of the box when the macbook c2d was released a year ago?
[01:02] <nickrud> MTecknology no, you'd have to create a partition then write a file system to the partition
[01:02] <soundray> MTecknology: no, this would result in a filesystem on an unpartitioned drive, because there is no partition table.
[01:03] <Alan_M> !br | bruno
[01:03] <ubotu> bruno: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[01:03] <soundray> MTecknology: I think mkfs will refuse to do that
[01:03] <TeamColtra[NADC]> redtide, few options >> I think Beagle is the program that indexes your computer, and you can search your computer through that
[01:03] <MTecknology> soundray, eh... i tried to and no it won't :P
[01:03] <Danish989> I can't run g-parted .. it says only root can run g-parted
[01:03] <TeamColtra[NADC]> redtide >> Or do what I am currently looking how to do, and set up google desktop
[01:03] <mgmz> Hi
[01:03] <Alan_M> Hello mgmz
[01:03] <MTecknology> I can't figure out how to make the dang partition :P
[01:03] <Awp> Cannot remove 'amarok' How can i remove it by TERMINAL
[01:03] <Danish989> what should I do? and why don't I have root previelages? Is it because im on a live session?
[01:03] <soundray> pikeshouse88: because darn Apple uses darn Broadcom hardware which refuses to supply free software developers with essential hardware information
[01:03] <TwinX> Danish989; sudo gparted
[01:03] <nickrud> redtide beagle generally only indexes your home,    locate     is the unixy way to search for files
[01:04] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, when I grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 it gives error 15 file not found
[01:04] <soundray> MTecknology: won't do it or won't refuse?
[01:05] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, do I need to mount all my hard drives? Cuz I can't see any in Ubuntu LiveCD
[01:05] <redtide> nickrud you talking about a terminal command?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, Sorry, but I am busy on another problem..  Perhaps you should tell people what led up to this problem.. what all you did as far as partitioning or reinstalling windows etc
[01:05] <Paavi2_0> Danish989: running livecd you might not be able to become superuser (i.e. run: 'sudo gparted' that is)
[01:05] <BubbleTea> Cannot remove 'amarok' How can i remove it by TERMINAL???
[01:05] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, OK, thanks for your help
[01:05] <MTecknology> soundray, ok... It didn't refuse to make the partition, it basically just initialized the drive for use. before, cfdisk /dev/sdb resulted in errors, after doing that it's showing up with the whole thing as being free space.... so I'm happy :)
[01:05] <soundray> Danish989: you get root privileges with sudo, even in a live session
[01:05] <pikeshouse88> soundray: its not broadcom, its atheros
[01:05] <mgmz> How do i configure my graphics card properly? because planeshift (graphical game) is flickering, ive had the same problem before in pclos but it was to do with configuring my graphics card, anyone?
[01:05] <elmer> how do I mount all my hard drives in Ubuntu
[01:05] <Danish989> I can't see Gparted in the gui either, its not under system>adminstration or system>preferences
[01:05] <soundray> pikeshouse88: in that case, it's just you ;)
[01:05] <TwinX> BubbleTea; sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok

[01:06] <BubbleTea> TwinX thanks
[01:06] <Paavi2_0> Danish989: try to run in terminal

[01:07] <elmer> unop_, it doesn't see my drives, just tmpfs and unionfs
[01:07] <unop_> pikeshouse88, /query ubotu
[01:07] <Orbixx> How does one pronounce "Ubuntu"?
[01:08] <Totem> what is the equivalent of a .exe file in linux?
[01:08] <unop_> elmer, is this from within a live CD?
[01:08] <Alan_M> oo-boon-too orbix
[01:08] <Orbixx> oo-bun-too
[01:08] <BubbleTea> How i automount a iso automatic?
[01:08] <Orbixx> or
[01:08] <Orbixx> oo-boon-too
[01:08] <unop_> Orbixx, the latter
[01:08] <Alan_M> its the 2nd one :D
[01:08] <Orbixx> I always said "you-bun-too"
[01:08] <fr0ggy> well ubuntu work well with a "Geforce 7800 GS"(AGP) card?
[01:08] <soundray> BubbleTea: it's something to enable via System-Preferences-Removable Drives and Media
[01:09] <elmer> unop_, yes
[01:09] <soundray> Orbixx: you won't be jailed for any of these pronunciations
[01:09] <Alan_M> Orbixx, ive been known to pronounce it 2 different ways, i dont think it matters unless were talking to Mark Shuttleworth himself ;)
[01:09] <pikeshouse88> well now it seems that the drivers are available, they just have to be built. and my question is, why? why arent they included in 8.04? 7.10 i might be able to understand
[01:09] <Orbixx> Heh.
[01:09] <unop_> elmer, the same procedure follows
[01:09] <Totem> how to I run .sh files?
[01:09] <Orbixx> ./file.sh
[01:09] <elmer> unop_, what procedure?
[01:10] <soundray> pikeshouse88: remember, this is a support channel -- if you're going to rant, take it somewhere else please
[01:10] <unop_> elmer, the one in the link ubotu gave you
[01:10] <elmer> unop_, find /boot/grub/stage1 isn't working
[01:10] <Totem> hmm
[01:10] <elmer> unop_, that is the problem
[01:10] <soundray> Totem: how are you getting on?
[01:10] <elmer> unop_, it gives error 15 file not found
[01:10] <mgmz> anyone know how i go about configuring my graphics card?
[01:10] <mgmz> ^^^?
[01:11] <unop_> elmer, a live CD doesn't have grub .. so thats expected
[01:11] <soundray> mgmz: what graphics card is that?
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, You never did tell people what you did that lead up to this problem
[01:11] <mgmz> soundray: intel
[01:11] <elmer> unop_, Uh, sudo grub took me into it, so I think it does
[01:11] <sidewalk> is it possible to setup remote desktop in Ubuntu, without having to acctually login on the machine locally to be able to access it with VNC?
[01:11] <fourdigit> In which direction should I go to ask about a start-up problem?
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask > fourdigit
[01:12] <soundray> mgmz: should be autodetected. Are you on gutsy?
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> sidewalk; the other box has to have it enabled too
[01:12] <unop_> elmer, grub is only meaningful for harddrives not optical media .. maybe you want to explain a bit more to us and give us the bigger picture
[01:12] <fourdigit> !ask what?
[01:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask what? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:12] <sidewalk> bastid_raZor: what?
[01:12] <ribasushi> yo guys
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> fourdigit, Your real question..
[01:12] <Danish989> can I mount a drive using Gparted?
[01:12] <sidewalk> !ask remote desktop
[01:12] <mgmz> soundray: yeh it is.. but when i play "Planeshift" it is flicering... ive had the same problem in pclos and it wsa to do with configruing my grahpics card
[01:13] <SpudDogg> Danish989:  as far as i know, gparted will NOT mount a partition
[01:13] <elmer> unop_, what do you need to know?
[01:13] <ribasushi> why do you keep pushing a distro which is a rip off of another one, and don't even contribute changes back to the father distro?
[01:13] <unop_> elmer, what you are actually trying to do.
[01:13] <bastid_raZor> sidewalk; both computers have to have remote desktop enabled
[01:13] <sidewalk> bastid_raZor: no, only the one im connecting to
[01:13] <fourdigit> !ask My laptop starts up really slowly, I just got a fresh install and it didn't used to do this, could it be an installation issue?
[01:13] <Danish989> how do I mount a drive?
[01:13] <elmer> unop_, I am trying to get GRUB fixed because it is giving error 25
[01:13] <mgmz> ribasushi: have a cry ;-(
[01:13] <sidewalk> bastid_RaZor: but how do i set it up to accept connections, even when i not logged in?
[01:14] <sidewalk> is it vnc that has to be configured?
[01:14] <unop_> elmer, do you have ubuntu installed on the computer?
[01:14] <elmer> unop_, yes
[01:14] <raj__> my englis not so good
[01:14] <soundray> raj__: just ask your question
[01:15] <nowimproved> is it possible to save the flash settings for quality low when you click on a video?
[01:15] <tarelerulz> I am thinking of upgrading via install desk to Ubuntu 8.04 and I was wondering if I could use the dep package of ndiswrapper on my Ubuntu 7.10  to get my wireless up and working .  Can I do that
[01:15] <unop_> Jack_Sparrow, can you ban this guy ^^? raj__, he's been spamming the room since god knows when?
[01:15] <nowimproved> in firefox
[01:15] <maarek_> which flavor are you running, ubuntu, Kbuntu, or Xubuntu?
[01:15] <raj__> soundray: Boinc, minor trivia like the name.  "Your slot: Cleared to commence final approach

[01:15] <LjL> wrong alias

[01:16] <tarelerulz> maarek , I am using Ubuntu not kubuntu or anthying thing like that
[01:16] <mad_max02> ...
[01:16] <orudie> damn
[01:16]  * Alan_M looks at ljl..
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Beat me to it
[01:16] <orudie> what can i use my ubuntu server for
[01:16] <unop_> elmer, do you know if you had done something prior to this happening?
[01:16] <Alan_M> wow...heh
[01:16] <orudie> i have it installed, but dont know what to do with it
[01:16] <maarek_> orudie: everything that isn't installed on the desktop
[01:16] <maarek_> like LAMP
[01:16] <Danish989> is there a preinstalled program in ubuntu for mounting drives?
[01:16] <maarek_> orudie: LAMP is only on the server and there's no GUI so you can use a smaller system
[01:16] <orudie> the question is
[01:16] <soundray> Danish989: do you actually read the advice that is being sent your way?
[01:17] <elmer> unop_, I think it is that I used my case reset button which just cuts power
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, create a mount point and mount the drive..  not that hard to do
[01:17] <unop_> !grub | elmer
[01:17] <ubotu> elmer: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:17] <elmer> unop_, yes, I see that guide
[01:17] <orudie> maarek_, the question is i have it installed, but dont know what to do with it, i have a web server installed thats about it
[01:17] <maarek_> another reason for the server is to run apps that take up CPU and ram on the desktop
[01:17] <Danish989> I'll try googling for instructions
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, man mount
[01:17] <soundray> Danish989: no, you should just read the links that ubotu gave you
[01:18] <elmer> unop_, when I find /boot/grub/stage1 it gives Error 15: File not found
[01:18] <|Angelluz|> hi guys i need help in spanish pls who can help me ?
[01:18] <maarek_> orudie: the webserver runs php and other things that you can't run locally

[01:18] <ubotu> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[01:18] <orudie> maarek_, yeah i have php perl installed too
[01:18] <orudie> maarek_, just cant find use to it
[01:18] <unop_> elmer, which howto are you following ?
[01:18] <elmer> unop_, this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, which version of Ubuntu do you have on the hard drive?>
[01:19] <TeamColtra[NADC]> The version of amsn that i get when typing sudo apt-get install amsn is out of date, is there a way to update it?
[01:19] <maarek_> orudie: trust me, start creating php and pearl apps, you'll see that the server side is required to run the programs correctly
[01:19] <elmer> Jack_Sparrow, 7.10
[01:19] <maarek_> orudie: other than that, you're just creating HTML files
[01:19] <unop_> elmer, you should ignore that command, it that needs correcting .. use 'fdisk -l' to find out which device
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> TeamColtra[NADC], not without going outside our repos
[01:20] <tarelerulz> I am thinking about useing the  ndiswrapper dep pack I got with synaptic To make my wireless work on Ubuntu 8.04 .  I have the windows drivers on my other partition .    the two packages are ndiswrapper-util and ndiswrapper -common
[01:20] <elmer> unop_, in the terminal or gru
[01:20] <elmer> ** grub
[01:20] <soundray> TeamColtra[NADC]: it's not out of date -- it's the version that's trusted to work with the current Ubuntu release. Is there anything in particular that you need from the new version?
[01:20] <fr0ggy> where can I find ubuntu's md5 hashes? I found it somewhere on the site but I lost the link
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !download
[01:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[01:20] <maarek_> orudie: also, with my server I have that linked with the router so I can login from outside my network
[01:20] <elmer> unop_, it didn't return anything in the terminal and in grub it gave unrecognized command
[01:20] <TeamColtra[NADC]> soundray, well it says that there is a new version available, and then when i try to sign on, everything is just blank so i figured it was because of my outdated version
[01:21] <unop_> elmer, both find and fdisk are cli commands .. you might need sudo prepended
[01:21] <elmer> unop_, thanks
[01:21] <soundray> TeamColtra[NADC]: check if there is a new version in backports
[01:21] <maarek_> orudie: if you installed the server than installed the desktop, than I can understand, the server just separates programs that a regular desktop doesn't need to run
[01:21] <soundray> !backports | TeamColtra[NADC]
[01:21] <ubotu> TeamColtra[NADC]: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[01:21] <elmer> unop_, sudo fdisk -l returns nothing
[01:21] <unop_> :o
[01:22] <sidewalk> how do i setup VNC to be able to connect to my Ubuntu, even when im not logged in to the machine?
[01:22] <Jack_Sparrow> elmer, last letter is an L not an eye or one
[01:22] <TeamColtra[NADC]> Thank you soundray

[01:29] <dmsuperman> can anyone help me with getting twinview, or ANY form of full-resolution dual monitor working?
[01:29] <dmsuperman> i've got a nvidia 7900 with the nvidia restricted drivers
[01:29] <unop_> elmer, not at all good, the disk isn't detected by linux .. use this command and go through the output carefully to try and find out why the disk might not have been detected.   dmesg | less
[01:29] <mzanfardino> can I set up encryption on a directory (say where my documents are located) that I can must decrypt before use?  I already encrypt my drive, but I'm concerned about a compromise using my user name and pass.  I'd like to further encrypt working files as a directory, if possible
[01:29] <elmer> unop_, OK! If I type fdisk -s it responds with a help file
[01:30] <unop_> elmer, fdisk -l
[01:30] <dmsuperman> "gksudo nvidia-settings" opens up a dialog with no options to configure monitors
[01:30] <soundray> dmsuperman: it's a bit involved -- read the README.txt.gz in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx -- also see the factoid:
[01:30] <Alan_M> Hammer89_, i was incorrect, it is not in .bashrc by default, but your certainly capable of putting it in yourself :D

[01:30] <elmer> unop_, Oh, right. Yeah, -l gives nothing but -s gives a help file. Just claifying
[01:30] <rbil> dmsuperman: that's really strange as there should be a way there to do it
[01:30] <elmer> unop_, what should I look for in dmesg?
[01:31] <forrest> Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me out with this problem I have... everytime I reboot my USB devices get remounted to /media/volume_ then everytime there is a new __ so I get tons of them wit _____ at the end, how can I prevent this?
[01:31] <dmsuperman> rbil, soundray: I used the guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[01:31] <unop_> elmer, i can't say exactly, you'll have to trust your judgement there
[01:31] <bastid_raZor> lewench; #conky will probably be more help.. i can help you there.
[01:31] <dmsuperman> Backed up xorg.conf, and ran the auto-config
[01:31] <elmer> unop_, Wow. I don't have any judgment. That's why I'm here...
[01:31] <rbil> dmsuperman: hold on and I'll look at that guide. never used it
[01:31] <lewench> bastid_raZor, Im on there, just asked. =)
[01:31] <dmsuperman> thanks :D
[01:31] <Odd-rationale> forrest: one way would be to apply a disk label to them, but that would require reformating...
[01:32] <unop_> elmer, have a look, it's all in english :)
[01:32] <elmer> unop_, English? More like computer speak...
[01:32] <unop_> mzanfardino, you can use openssl to encrypt a tarball with a password .. just not a directory tho.
[01:32] <elmer> unop_, what part relates to the hard drives?
[01:32] <soundray> Odd-rationale: not really, you can label partitions without formatting
[01:33] <Odd-rationale> soundray: really? didn't know that. how? please enlightne me :)
[01:33] <soundray> Odd-rationale: tune2fs -L
[01:33] <Odd-rationale> soundray: ah. I see.
[01:33] <mzanfardino> unop_: yes, I currently tar my financial records and encrypt them with openssl.  I was hoping I could encrype a whole working directory.  Maybe instead I could encrypt a partition and then mount it manually?  Is that possible?
[01:33] <Dr_willis> forrest,  what filesystem are they?  tune2fs for ext2/3 - i boot to windows to label vfat/ntfs
[01:33] <rbil> dmsuperman: really it comes down to having xorg.conf setup for twinview, have you looked at the manual way of doing it (link from the URL you just posted)? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773584
[01:33] <Odd-rationale> soundray: works for all fs?
[01:33] <unop_> elmer, again, i couldn't say just what part, it could be due to any number of reasons
[01:34] <dmsuperman> rbil: yes, i tried those steps and restarted xserver
[01:34] <soundray> Odd-rationale: for fat fs, there is mlabel in the mtools package, which isn't quite so convenient
[01:34] <dmsuperman> i'm in mirror monitor mode now
[01:34] <dmsuperman> and i think its running in 640 x 480 or 800 x 600
[01:34] <dmsuperman> hrm, didn't notice these
[01:34] <Odd-rationale> soundray: but it would work for ext?
[01:34] <rbil> dmsuperman: can you post your xorg.conf?
[01:34] <unop_> mzanfardino, sure, you can use something like truecrypt to mount volumes as encrypted filesystems
[01:34] <forrest> Dr_willis, they were formated in Windows and I am pretty sure they have labels
[01:35] <unop_> !truecrypt | mzanfardino
[01:35] <ubotu> mzanfardino: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume
[01:35] <dmsuperman> yes, just a sec
[01:35] <mzanfardino> unop_: ok, I will look into truecrypt
[01:35] <elmer> unop_, so you don't have any idea what I should look for
[01:35] <soundray> Odd-rationale: I haven't tried, but I would generally trust man tune2fs...
[01:35] <Odd-rationale> soundray: looks like onle ext2/3
[01:35] <soundray> Odd-rationale: what do you mean by ext?
[01:35] <unop_> elmer, well, i'd look for something like "device sda: fault at blah, ignoring due to foo, do bar to fix" .. :)
[01:36] <dmsuperman> rbil: http://pastebin.com/m51cc1aff
[01:36] <Odd-rationale> soundray: ext2 and ext3 filesystem
[01:36] <elmer> unop_, that I will do!
[01:36] <unop_> elmer, go though it, you never know what you'll find, it's really worth the shot
[01:36] <soundray> Odd-rationale: yes, of course, that's why it's called tune2fs. Did you get my line about mtools?
[01:37] <Odd-rationale> soundray: yes.
[01:37] <elmer> unop_, ata1: port is slow to respond, please be pationt (Status 0xd0)
[01:37] <Kcaj> How can I watch mLB live for free on the internet? Any help?
[01:37] <dmsuperman> anyone: how can i copy some folders from 1 dir to another, that will keep running even if i close xserver?
[01:37] <soundray> Odd-rationale: oops, it's not available in gutsy anymore...
[01:38] <elmer> unop_, Ooo! Look! ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[01:38] <rbil> dmsuperman: hold on and I'll post my xorg.conf ... I'm using dual monitors, both 1280x768
[01:38] <dmsuperman> rbil: alright :D
[01:38] <Odd-rationale> soundray:

[01:38] <Odd-rationale> mtools - Tools for manipulating MSDOS files
[01:38] <Dr_willis> forrest,  by default under windows they give the disks a blank label from what ive seen.
[01:38] <soundray> dmsuperman: easiest is to login on a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 -- switch back to Xserver with Ctrl-Alt-F7 or -F9)
[01:38] <greencookie> can I install ubuntu over archlinux without destroying my /home directory?
[01:39] <Dr_willis> greencookie,  do you have /home on its own partition? that wouldbe the safest way
[01:39] <elmer> unop_, sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST OK
[01:39] <Dr_willis> greencookie,  other wise. proberly not.
[01:39] <dmsuperman> soundray: thanks. what command would i use to copy whole folder structures to another folder?
[01:39] <rbil> dmsuperman: http://pastebin.com/d6c25a84e
[01:39] <soundray> dmsuperman: cp -a (consult man cp)

[01:40] <unop_> elmer, use a !pastebin and show me what you have there..
[01:40] <soundray> dmsuperman: if you're copying  /dev directories, look at the tar technique suggested by Alan Cox in the Tips-HOWTO
[01:40] <elmer> unop_, Uh... that would take FOREVER to type
[01:40] <Dr_willis> elmer,  the pastebinit command is handy
[01:41] <rbil> dmsuperman: see it?
[01:41] <Dr_willis> apt-get install pastebinit
[01:41] <Dr_willis> dmesg | pastebinit
[01:41] <Dr_willis> :)
[01:41] <elmer> Dr_willis, I have no internet
[01:41] <greencookie> Dr_willis: I do have it on another partition
[01:41] <greencookie> elmer: how are you talking in here?
[01:41] <zeyar> hello
[01:41] <dmsuperman> rbil: i see yours, but i don't see what's wrong with mine
[01:41] <Dr_willis> elmer,  egads!

[01:41] <elmer> Dr_willis, yeah, I know >.<
[01:41] <greencookie> ah okay.
[01:41] <dmsuperman> rbil: you're also using xinerama where i'm using twinview
[01:41] <unop_> elmer, well, from what i can see so far, it appears the disk or the controller is hosed
[01:42] <zeyar> pls, how to install the skype  in ubuntu 7.10?
[01:42] <dmsuperman> rbil: the reason being that guide said twinview is better, but it's nvidia binaries only, however i am using the nvidia binaries
[01:42] <Odd-rationale> zeyar: you need to have the medibuntu repo
[01:42] <rbil> dmsuperman: no, I'm using twinview ... look at metamodes line, you'll see the diff
[01:42] <unop_> elmer, try rebooting into the live CD session again .. maybe it'll help? (cross your fingers)
[01:42] <Odd-rationale> !medibuntu | zeyar
[01:42] <soundray> zeyar: get it from the medibuntu repository

[01:42] <elmer> unop_, OK, I'll try it
[01:43] <elmer> unop_, do you want me to just move the PC to an ethernet cable? It'll take about 10 mins
[01:43] <zeyar> yeah,i did it, but nothing was happened
[01:43] <elmer> unop_, I'll move it anyway
[01:43] <rbil> dmsuperman: are you monitors matched in terms of resolution?
[01:43] <elmer> brb
[01:43] <zeyar> when  use in my laptop it was ok
[01:43] <unop_> elmer, it'll help if you can get on the internet from the live cd session to copy paste stuff to the pastebin
[01:43] <elmer> unop_, OK!
[01:44] <dmsuperman> rbil: yes. i've just basically copied your metamodes into mine. is there a way to restart xserver without losing all my open programs
[01:44] <rbil> no
[01:44] <dmsuperman> alright, then brb
[01:44] <zeyar> now, when i installed it  in my pc.it wasn't working

[01:50] <zeyar> i saw only blue screen
[01:50] <zeyar> yeah
[01:51] <fyreofchaos13> Does anyone have any idea why Ubuntu would randomly have an audio disc pop up?
[01:51] <zeyar> plz, i am new user in here
[01:51] <soundray> zeyar: type /join #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <zeyar> thz
[01:52] <zeyar> hello
[01:52] <asof2> Hello people how i can set on BitchX IRC Client, auto connect to one server ? to set ident realname ? i know in .bashrc but i forgot what to write there can somebody help me please?
[01:52] <mattias> some updates for ubuntu is not authenticated any info about what is safe and so on
[01:52] <zeyar> hello
[01:53] <mohbana> how do i configure the no. of lines that are scrolled?
[01:53] <justinmiller87> I have a question: Why if I'm playing a midi file and I mute my sound does it continue playing, and why does sound control not affect it at all?
[01:53] <fyreofchaos13> The sound level doesn't affect the file.
[01:53] <dmsuperman> rbil: are you still there?
[01:53] <elmer> unop_, I'm starting the LiveCD but last time it took like 15 minutes
[01:53] <justinmiller87> What makes the midi file different in Ubuntu from say an Ogg?
[01:53] <pharoh> can someone tell me how to use eclipse?it keeps executing the same programme!
[01:54] <unop__> elmer, well, let's see anyway
[01:54] <rbil> dmsuperman: yes
[01:54] <dmsuperman> something wonderful has happened
[01:54] <parabola2> wow
[01:54] <dmsuperman> none of my windows have frames
[01:54] <rbil> :-)
[01:54] <dmsuperman> including titlebar
[01:54] <parabola2> theres TOO many people here
[01:54] <dmsuperman> and terminal is a pure white square
[01:54] <asof2> Hello people how i can set on BitchX IRC Client, auto connect to one server ? to set ident realname ? i know in .bashrc but i forgot what to write there can somebody help me please?
[01:54] <dmsuperman> which i can't type commands into
[01:54] <Dr_willis> justinmiller87,  midi files are radicially different then wav, or other sampled  audio files.
[01:54] <dmsuperman> and still no dual monitor :D
[01:54] <FloodBot1> dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:54] <justinmiller87> Happens to me all the time dmsuperman. I lose my top menu all the time.
[01:54] <unop__> justinmiller87, the same as they are different on any other OS.
[01:54] <wapko> dmsuperman: run "emerald --replace" if youre running compiz
[01:55] <rbil> dmsuperman: loo, at Option lines under Device, you need Add* lines there
[01:55] <dmsuperman> not running compiz
[01:55] <justinmiller87> I know if I ran a midi file in XP it would mute if I muted it.
[01:55] <soundray> dmsuperman: then it's metacity --replace
[01:55] <justinmiller87> I was just curious as to why timidity doesn't mute.
[01:55] <rbil> dmsuperman:
[01:55] <rbil>    Option         "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
[01:55] <rbil>     Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[01:55] <dmsuperman> rbil: do you have that pastebin i sent you?
[01:55] <rbil> dmsuperman: yes
[01:55] <dmsuperman> soundray: i can't even open a terminal because of it
[01:56] <fyreofchaos13> Would anyone have an idea why an unmounted audio disc randomly pops up?
[01:56] <dmsuperman> rbil: can you link me with that? it wouldn't even start up when i changed it so i had to revert to original
[01:56] <rbil> dmsuperman: as I said, probably my whole xorg.conf would work for you
[01:56] <soundray> dmsuperman: so switch to a text console, log in and run 'export DISPLAY=:0 ; metacity --replace'
[01:56] <rbil> dmsuperman: here's my pastebin again .... http://pastebin.com/d6c25a84e
[01:56] <pharoh> how do i open a new editor in eclipse?
[01:56] <elmer> unop__, curse unop_... anyway, my monitor is getting no signal.
[01:57] <dmsuperman> soundray: thanks:D
[01:57] <dmsuperman> rbil: i'll try that then
[01:57] <mohbana> how do i configure the no. of lines that are scrolled?
[01:57] <dre|> random question
[01:57] <unop__> elmer, ouch. start the CD in safe graphics mode perhaps?
[01:57] <OwnerOnline> Can this forum also help me with Ultumix linux?
[01:57] <bazhang> OwnerOnline: nay
[01:57] <elmer> unop__, yea, that's what I did last time.
[01:57] <soundray> fyreofchaos13: some strangeness with your drive. Just disable auto playing of audio CDs in System-Preferences-Removable Drives and Media
[01:57] <Starnestommy> OwnerOnline: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[01:57] <dre|> does anybody have a spare grandcentral? my friends in jail right now and id save some money by having only prepaying one number
[01:58] <parabola2> what?
[01:58] <unop__> reminder: this is #ubuntu
[01:58] <dre|> sorry for the randomness
[01:58] <dre|> just askin everywhere
[01:58] <dmsuperman> rbil: even though you have geforce 6800?
[01:58] <fyreofchaos13> Alright, thanks soundray. =)
[01:58] <dmsuperman> i've got 7900gs ko
[01:58] <dmsuperman> does that matter?
[01:59] <rbil> dmsuperman: should be using the same binary I'd guess
[01:59] <elmer> unop__, it's at the Ubuntu loading screen with the orange bar that goes back and forth
[01:59] <OwnerOnline> how do i install ubuntu?
[01:59] <gitpik__> gui
[01:59] <Alan_M> !install | OwnerOnline
[01:59] <ubotu> OwnerOnline: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[01:59] <dmsuperman> rbil: i believe each series uses a different driver
[01:59] <unop__> elmer, yea, what i suspect is happening is that the kernel is still waiting on the disk to respond.
[01:59] <Alan_M> !automate | OwnerOnline

[02:00] <rbil> dmsuperman: well, I think the lost frames are due to those two lines I quoted
[02:00] <elmer> unop__, do you know of a way that I can forcefully make it to start in Windows?
[02:00]  * Alan_M isnt gonna do #3 because ive already flooded the room enough.
[02:00] <dmsuperman> rbil: i'm gonna try your xorg.conf
[02:00] <dmsuperman> rbil: brb
[02:00] <Nith> elmer: do you have a second hd?
[02:01] <elmer> Nith, no, just one SATA
[02:01] <bazhang> elmer: get wubi
[02:01] <Kram> Quick question, I'm using pidgin.. is there a way to disable the message of people joining and leaving this channel?
[02:01] <elmer> unop__, it's starting
[02:01] <Nith> elmer: what about usb key?
[02:01] <Alan_M> bazhang, isnt wubi already on the ubuntu 7.10 cd?
[02:01] <elmer> Nith, I have one that is 4GB
[02:01] <elmer> Alan_M, I think it comes in 8.04
[02:01] <bazhang> Alan_M: dont think so
[02:01] <Dr_willis> Alan_M,  unfortunally it will be included in the hardy release. :)
[02:01] <Nith> elmer: if your computer can boot from usb, you can stick grub on it. Its a bit tricky to do but I read about it somewhere
[02:02] <dmsuperman> rbil: almost
[02:02]  * Nith goes to find a link
[02:02] <Dr_willis> its not on the gutsy release
[02:02] <dmsuperman> now i have dual monitor, only it's at like 480 x 320 res
[02:02] <rbil> dmsuperman: how so?
[02:02] <elmer> unop__, now it is just getting a blank signal, but hey, at least it's a signal, right?
[02:02] <Omlette> Quick question: would Ubuntu Hardy run on a PC with a 450Mhz PIII, and 384 mb of RAM?
[02:02] <dmsuperman> rbil: at startup, during username entry, it was high res
[02:02] <Alan_M> oh yeah, thats right, im so sorry guys, yeah...using hardy beta and helping with current stables has really messed me up :D
[02:02] <dmsuperman> rbil: then it switched as soon as i logged on
[02:02] <zeyar> when i installed the skype,i saw this message  Error:Wrong architecture'i386'
[02:02] <dmsuperman> rbil: any clue why that is?
[02:02] <elmer> Nith, it can, do you have the link still?
[02:02] <bazhang> Omlette: please direct hardy questions to the #ubuntu+1 channel
[02:02] <soundray> Omlette: it's probably a bit tight, but you should really ask in #ubuntu+1
[02:02] <Nith> at first glance something like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610422
[02:03] <rbil> dmsuperman: maybe system isn't getting DPMS from YOUR monitors
[02:03] <rbil> hold on
[02:03] <unop__> elmer, hmm, give it a few more minutes, it might take you to the desktop yet
[02:03] <Nith> elmer: basically by installing grub on the usb key, you can then tell it where to start from. That'll get you into windows
[02:03] <LjL> omlette: yes. slowly.
[02:03] <Omlette> Slowly, lol
[02:03] <elmer> unop__, Yeah, last time it took forever, but it had text on the signal, so that was a good thing
[02:03] <rbil> dmsuperman: what kinda monitors you got and how are they connected? vga or dvi?
[02:03] <Omlette> Hmm.. how about Xubuntu then?
[02:03] <Alan_M> Omlette, better to go with Xubuntu or something like that :)
[02:04] <LjL> Omlette: less slowly, still not quite lightening fast.
[02:04] <elmer> Nith, Hm... I think I'll just look into GAG or delete Ubuntu and clear the MBR altogether
[02:04] <Paddy_EIRE> Omlette: personally I would go for something a lot lighter to maximise productivity... try zenwalk.. I personally love it for older machines
[02:04] <LjL> !requirements > omlette    (omlette, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:04] <bazhang> fluxbuntu more like; xubuntu is still pretty heavy
[02:04] <dmsuperman> rbil: both art CRT, both are connected through DVI -> VGA connectors. the video card has the DVI outs
[02:04] <LjL> !requirements-#xubuntu > Omlette    (Omlette, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:04] <Nith> elmer: have you tried window's "fixmbr" command from a windows startup disk?
[02:04] <elmer> Nith, I haven't yet
[02:04] <Nith> elmer: your problem is w/ grub not ubuntu rite?
[02:04] <icesword> elmer, problem fixed??
[02:04] <elmer> Nith, correct
[02:04] <smithey93> hey guys, is there anything i can record my screen with a app appart from recordmypc?
[02:04] <Kram> Is there a command to disable messages when people join and leave the room?
[02:05] <elmer> icesword, no
[02:05] <Nith> elmer: then to get windows working just shove a windows disk in, go to repair mode and use "fixmbr"
[02:05] <icesword> elmer, who is not ok and who is ok
[02:05] <bazhang> recordmydesktop smithey93
[02:05] <dmsuperman> smithey93: hardly the right place, but fraps will do screenvideos

[02:05] <Alan_M> Kram, what client are you using?
[02:05] <rbil> dmsuperman: ok, then set horizSync and VertRefresh to what YOUR old xorg has in my xorg.

[02:05] <[Rocc]> Hello...
[02:05] <elmer> Nith, yea, I'm going to do that right now
[02:05] <Kram> Im using pidgin as my Irc client currently.
[02:05] <elmer> icesword, ???
[02:06] <icesword> elmer, what ?i want to help you
[02:06] <smithey93> dmsuperman: how aint this the right place, this is the ubuntu support for asking questions? and thanks ill take a look into it
[02:06] <Alan_M> Kram, im not sure of where to look, i can find out really quick if you can be patient with me :D
[02:06] <bazhang> kram you might want to give xchat a try
[02:06] <Nith> elmer: alternatively, you can look into lilo but I've never used that one
[02:06] <elmer> icesword, IDK what who is and who is not ok means
[02:06] <Nith> elmer:  or grub4dos
[02:06] <parabola2> ice weasel?
[02:06] <[Rocc]> Question, if my pc runs great with Windows XP will it run even better with Ubuntu?
[02:06] <icesword> elmer, windows can boot or linux can boot
[02:06] <shivamib> [Rocc]: yes
[02:06] <elmer> brb, getting windows disk
[02:06] <bazhang> [Rocc]: try the livecd
[02:06] <elmer> icesword, GRUB gives error 25
[02:06] <LjL> "great" and "better" are pretty subjective terms.
[02:06] <dmsuperman> argh i lost my frames again
[02:07] <Kram> Pidgin came with my Ubuntu installation, I figured id give it a shot =)
[02:07] <Alan_M> Xchat is awesome for what you want to do kram, pidgin, im not sure where its at.
[02:07] <rbil> dmsuperman: u using compiz?
[02:07] <dmsuperman> not metacity, what was the other command?
[02:07] <parabola2> sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:07] <Kram> I can try Xchat
[02:07] <dmsuperman> and not to my knowledge i'm not
[02:07] <TubbyCat> Good job Kram ;)
[02:07] <Alan_M> Kram, you can get xchat from the repositories by using parabola's command in a terminal.
[02:07] <parabola2> I wish xchat was scriptable
[02:07]  * Nith <3 irssi
[02:07] <dmsuperman> nvm
[02:07] <shivamib> if your PC runs great with windows, you should stop smoking :)
[02:07] <Ravenkin1> Is there a list of terminal commands somewhere?
[02:07] <Nith> I had xchat, then I started using this
[02:07] <LjL> parabola2: ...? xchat certainly *is* scriptable

[02:07] <dmsuperman> switching back and forth between cli and x fixed it
[02:07] <[Rocc]> bazhang: i did, and i was told it would run slower using the cd...
[02:07] <parabola2> LjL : o rly??????
[02:07] <Alan_M> parabola2, sure is :D
[02:08] <parabola2> LjL : and How does one do this?!??!
[02:08] <LjL> yrly
[02:08] <rbil> dmsuperman: working now?
[02:08] <parabola2> hehe
[02:08] <elmer> unop__, LiveCD booted!
[02:08] <Ravenkin1> soundray this sounds like a stupid question but where do I type !cli into?
[02:08] <parabola2> I made tons of scripts in mIRC
[02:08] <bazhang> [Rocc]: aye the livecd is slower; but you can see if it gets your wireless etc
[02:08] <dmsuperman> rbil: i was just trying to get frames back so i could use the terminal, editing xorg.conf atm
[02:08] <icesword> elmer, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/grub-loading-stage-1.5-......-error-25-112412/
[02:08] <parabola2> holy crap!
[02:08] <parabola2> its under Window
[02:08] <Hammer89> how do you delete "places"  from main menu > places? (I tried right clicking but that just opens whichever place you click on)
[02:08] <soundray> Ravenkin1: not at all. Just read the message that ubotu directed at you.
[02:08] <unop__> elmer, right, let's see the contents of dmesg in a !pastebin
[02:08] <[Rocc]> bazhang: i was coming in here for that... but i figured i'd test the capability on it lol
[02:08] <elmer> OK
[02:08] <LjL> parabola2: http://xchat.org/cgi-bin/script_list.pl/ i suggest clicking on Help
[02:08] <elmer> unop__, any easy way?
[02:09] <fourdigit> !ask Is there any specific reason why my fairly new laptop would be starting really slowly?
[02:09] <sjbrown> I've got a macbook and am using Refit to boot up.  It shows 2 linux icons and one Mac icon.  I only have 1 linux partition though
[02:09] <rbil> dmsuperman: you're talking window frames, correct?
[02:09] <mohbana> how do i configure the no. of lines that are scrolled? thanks
[02:09] <sjbrown> anyone know why?
[02:09] <parabola2> thank you LjL!
[02:09] <soundray> !cli > Ravenkin1, now it's also in your private messages
[02:09] <dmsuperman> rbil: aye
[02:09] <bazhang> [Rocc]: best way is to boot to live cd and we can tell you if you have probs with wirelss possible steps to get it going etc
[02:09] <Alan_M> mIRC ewww :/ heh
[02:09] <Alan_M> Ravenkin1, you dont, you can get whats called a "terminal" by going to applications, accessories, terminal.
[02:09] <whileimhere> hi. I was wondering when I right click on a file say a PDF and I check out the fiels properties the tab that says Document has a list of uneditable areas like title and subject and author. These are currently saying NONE is there a way to edit them?
[02:09] <dmsuperman> rbil:
[02:09] <Alan_M> wow....that was....scary.
[02:09] <dmsuperman>     HorizSync       30.0 - 70.0
[02:09] <dmsuperman>     VertRefresh     50.0 - 180.0
[02:10] <dmsuperman> those were old values
[02:10] <dmsuperman> shouldn't it still have been fine?
[02:10] <rbil> ok, use those in the xorg then
[02:10] <parabola2> 180 Hz?
[02:10] <rbil> mine are diff, because lcd here
[02:10] <fourdigit> Does anybody know why my fairly new gateway laptop with a fresh install of 7.10 would be starting slow?

[02:10] <unop__> elmer, hmm,   dmesg > /tmp/dmesg; gedit /tmp/dmesg
[02:10] <mcgrof> where do I tell xorg nowadays to use a specific video driver? I want to tell it to use "nvidia" but don't see it on xorg.conf anymroe

[02:11] <soundray> mcgrof: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[02:11] <smithey93> bazhang, where from?
[02:11] <Nith> does anyone know how to use rsync to do a sync instead of a copy?

[02:13] <[[bc90021]]> I was experimenting with galeon, tor, and privoxy... set galeon to use localhost:8118 as proxy, now gnome-terminal is using it too... even though I have unset the proxy, uninstalled galeon, and rebooted
[02:13] <Nith> upp: you've got broken packages
[02:13] <[[bc90021]]> anyone know how to get gnome-terminal to stop using the proxy?
[02:13] <Pelo> upp,  can you summerize the problem here before having us open a link ?
[02:13] <Nith> upp: plz only post once, i'm already looking for the instructions for you
[02:14] <upp> Nith some what i should do now
[02:14] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: find out where it's set with 'grep http_proxy /etc/*' (probably /etc/environment)
[02:14] <Nith> Nith: according to one of the forums, Start Synaptic, go to Edit, and select "Fix broken packages."
[02:14] <Nith> lol
[02:14] <Nith> upp: according to one of the forums, Start Synaptic, go to Edit, and select "Fix broken packages."
[02:14] <sagredo> Hello. I installed the package phpmyadmin, however when I try to access phpmyadmin from my browser I cannot connect
[02:14]  * Nith has only actually done it once
[02:15] <lewench> If I want to add a script in ubuntu where is the file located. I read home/<username>/scripts/ but I can't find that.
[02:15] <Nith> sagredo: you have to link it to your apache
[02:15] <bazhang> [Rocc]: I saw what you said; didn't see a question though
[02:15] <[[bc90021]]> soundray:  it's not set
[02:15] <sagredo> Nith: how?
[02:15] <dmsuperman> this is becoming a giant headaache
[02:15] <smithey93> how do i launch gtk-recordmydesktop?
[02:15] <orudie> how can i install gamei386.so.gz
[02:15] <orudie> ?
[02:15] <rbil> dmsuperman: what's the prob now?
[02:15] <elmer> Nith, I read the post
[02:15] <elmer> Nith, trying what it suggests
[02:15] <dmsuperman> any time i want to do anything it takes hours of sitting on channels, and usually ends up going nowhere
[02:15] <Pelo> orudie, extract it and look for an INSTALL file to read
[02:15] <[[bc90021]]> soundray:  everything returned by that command is either a flag "--http-proxy" or on a line commented out
[02:15] <[Rocc]> Baz: Think you could help me fix it?
[02:15] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: then the setting must be in your home directory -- probably $HOME/.bashrc
[02:15] <rbil> dmsuperman: something is amiss if gksudo nvidia-settings won't allow u to set this stuff up
[02:15] <orudie> Pelo, how would i extract it ?
[02:16] <genii> orudie: Best to read the instructions from whatever place you downloaded the file from and try to follow whatever they suggest
[02:16] <dmsuperman> just to get apache working i'm copying 60+gb of files from a directory because it won't run from an NTFS folder
[02:16] <Pelo> orudie, right click , extract here
[02:16] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: make sure you use the understroke (http_proxy)
[02:16] <bazhang> [Rocc]: what card is it--what chipset
[02:16] <orudie> Pelo, dont have gui, only terminal
[02:16] <lewench> If I want to add a script in ubuntu where is the file located. I read home/<username>/scripts/ but I can't find that. can anyone help me?
[02:16] <[Rocc]> baz: i have no clue man, i could check though
[02:16] <elmer> unop__, restarting PC, trying to set HDs to manual or user as suggested by Nith
[02:16] <dmsuperman> "gksudo nvidia-settings"
[02:16] <Randocal> on the ATI site i'm only seeing version 8.3 for my video card driver, but i've read an article discussing getting compiz working and they're using 8.42 they say, am i missing something here?

[02:16] <[[bc90021]]> soundray: 'grep http_proxy .bashrc'  returns nothing
[02:16] <orudie> Pelo, thanx
[02:17] <Nith> sagredo: then "sudo a2ensite phpmyadmin"
[02:17] <Pelo> orudie, maybe
[02:17] <sagredo> Nith: I'll give it a go
[02:17] <orudie> Pelo, ?
[02:17] <unop__> elmer, It looks like after repeated attempts to read from the device the kernel is still failing on I/O operations . that's worth a try but it really doesn't look good
[02:17] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: are you in your $HOME ?
[02:17] <[[bc90021]]> soundray: yes
[02:17] <lewench> If I want to add a script in ubuntu where is the file located. I read home/<username>/scripts/ but I can't find that.
[02:17] <[[bc90021]]> pwd = /home/bc90021
[02:17] <Pelo> orudie, I mean no garanties,  seriously go to the site where you got it and look for instructions
[02:17] <elmer> unop__, if the HD is jacked do I have to buy a new one?
[02:17] <mohbana> how do i set the no. of lines that are scrolled when i use the scroll wheel? thanks
[02:17] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: does 'grep -lr http_proxy /etc/*' return anything?
[02:17] <Dr_willis> lewench,  i keep my scripts in /home/username/bin
[02:17] <[[bc90021]]> soundray:  I've been using Linux for years, never come across anything like this before
[02:17] <Dr_willis> lewench,  you can keep them whever you want. Just make a directory
[02:18] <unop__> elmer, it does look that way now, yes, i'm afraid to say
[02:18] <Pelo> !mouse > mohbana check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:18] <elmer> unop__, damn
[02:18] <rbil> dmsuperman: maybe with your card dvi can't go through vga adapter?
[02:18] <rbil> dmsuperman: can't talk with your monitors
[02:18] <dmsuperman> rbil: i've installed ubuntu on this very machine before, and it worked the exact same way then
[02:18] <unop__> elmer, i know, similar things happened to me many times
[02:18] <[[bc90021]]> soundray:  many, many things
[02:18] <elmer> unop__, It worked!
[02:18] <elmer> yes!!!
[02:18] <lewench> So when the instructions say "Save the following script in a file named gmail.pl and place it in ~/scripts (/home/<username>/scripts/) folder." they're just saying to create a folder named scripts?
[02:18] <elmer> Nith, Thanks SO much!
[02:18] <dmsuperman> rbil: earlier when i _could_ get nvidia-settings to work,  it detected both monitors
[02:19] <[[bc90021]]> lewench: yes
[02:19] <mohbana> its scrolling fine ... but slow compare to vista, i basically need to adjust the speed how do i do that?
[02:19] <dmsuperman> rbil: it just wouldn't actually work
[02:19] <rbil> dmsuperman: I really think that with some tweaking my xorg should work for you
[02:19] <unop__> elmer, what did you have to do?
[02:19] <sagredo> Nith: much appreciation, thank you :)
[02:19] <Nith> elmer: what worked?
[02:19] <orudie> Pelo, there is no instructions what so ever
[02:19] <Nith> sagredo: np
[02:19] <daretsen_> hello
[02:19] <soundray> dmsuperman: any likely candidates for a proxy variable setting?
[02:19] <orudie> Pelo, never dealt with .bz files before
[02:19] <lewench> What does ~ usually mean? ex. -/scripts
[02:19] <elmer> unop__, I changed the setttings to Manual and LBA
[02:19] <unop__> hmm
[02:19] <Pelo> orudie, gimme a link to get the file I'll have a look
[02:19] <elmer> Nith, I changed the setttings to Manual and LBA as you suggested in the link
[02:19] <dmsuperman> soundray: what do you mean?
[02:19] <carlos> hi
[02:19] <Nith> elmer: that was icesword I think
[02:19] <Nith> elmer: though I'm glad it worked for you
[02:19] <soundray> lewench: same as $HOME (try 'echo ~')
[02:20] <elmer> Nith, Oh... >.<
[02:20] <sagredo> Nith: when I try to login, I get the following error: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
[02:20] <mohbana> Pelo, its scrolling fine ... but slow compare to vista, i basically need to adjust the speed how do i do that?
[02:20]  * Nith didn't post that link XD
[02:20] <LjL> lewench: your home directory
[02:20] <elmer> icesword, thanks man
[02:20] <orudie> Pelo, http://opentdm.net/
[02:20] <rbil> dmsuperman: so what's actually happening? not getting 1280x1024 res? not getting desktop across both monitors?
[02:20] <lewench> Ah ok thanks.
[02:20] <soundray> dmsuperman: sorry, I'm confusing nicks
[02:20] <icesword> elmer, what ?that link helps?
[02:20] <daretsen_> i'm trying to set dma with no success
[02:20] <Pelo> mohbana, check in the links I gave you , it should be mentionned
[02:20] <Nith> sagredo: do you have mysql installed?
[02:20] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: any likely candidates for a proxy variable setting?
[02:20] <kravlin> hello. I installed Ubuntu recently but i'm having a problem getting it to boot reliably. It'll boot, tell me that PCI can't allocate region 3.
[02:20] <sagredo> Nith: Yes.
[02:20] <elmer> icesword, it fixeed my problem so yes! Thanks!
[02:20] <dmsuperman> rbil: i'm in what looks like 640 x 480. both monitors show the exact same thing
[02:20] <Nith> sagredo: and you can access it using the client?
[02:20] <sagredo> Nith: yes, I can access and login
[02:20] <Pelo> orudie, what't the name of the file I need again ?
[02:20] <Nith> O.o
[02:21]  * Nith never had any issues with that
[02:21] <Nith> one sec
[02:21] <soundray> dmsuperman: for your apache problem, you probably just have to make your NTFS writable with ntfs-3g
[02:21] <[[bc90021]]> soundray: I set the wgetrc to explicitly not use the proxy, and I can install things again
[02:21] <soundray> !ntfs-3g | dmsuperman
[02:21] <ubotu> dmsuperman: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[02:21] <sagredo> Nith: wait a sec, I just tried to log in and now I'm no longer able
[02:21] <sagredo> Nith: arg
[02:21] <[[bc90021]]> soundray:  but it's still being set somewhere, I will have to do some digging!
[02:21] <orudie> Pelo, you have to click on  binaries/unstable/linux
[02:21] <Nith> sagredo: ps -e | grep mysqld
[02:21] <Pelo> orudie, hld on
[02:21] <soundray> [[bc90021]]: well, grep -rl is your friend :)
[02:21] <sagredo> Nith: returned nothing
[02:21] <rbil> dmsuperman: I'd go back to square one ... run .... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  to rebuild xorg from scratch. see what it does in terms of getting u to right resolution
[02:21] <mohbana> did anyone get my messagE
[02:21] <Nith> sagredo: : if it returns nothing, its not actually running
[02:21] <wers> how do I add page header on openoffice?
[02:21] <[[bc90021]]> soundray, indeed, thanks!  :-)
[02:22] <dmsuperman> soundray: that's awesome. shame i just finished copying all my data to another partition and it'll be easiest (According to those who helped me with it earlier)
[02:22] <Nith> sagredo: try "sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start"
[02:22] <rbil> dmsuperman: then work your xorg.conf looking at what I sent u
[02:22] <soundray> dmsuperman: they are probably right
[02:22] <kravlin> hello. I installed Ubuntu recently but i'm having a problem getting it to boot reliably. It'll boot, give me an error and then stall out on the loading bar.
[02:22] <sagredo> Nith: you're spot on, thanks again
[02:22] <soundray> mohbana: yes, but it's not clear what you are talking about
[02:22] <Nith> sagredo: not a prob :)
[02:22] <bazhang> kravlin that the 754 socket mobo?
[02:22] <anubis26> hi
[02:22] <Nith> anubis26: hi
[02:22] <mohbana> soundray, i want to scroll more lines
[02:23] <kravlin> bazhang: yeah it is.
[02:23] <rbil> dmsuperman: what ver of Ubuntu u running there?
[02:23] <dmsuperman> 7.10
[02:23] <daretsen_> i'm trying to set dma for my dvd and no luck, is there anybody that could help?
[02:23] <rbil> same here
[02:23] <kravlin> bazhang: did you learn something new since last night that might help?
[02:23] <soundray> mohbana: still not clear
[02:23] <anubis26> would anyone be able to help out with compiling a wifi driver (ralink rt73) on hardy heron?
[02:23] <dmsuperman> rbil: alright. it asks for the driver type. nv is selected, but there's nvidia selectable. which should i choose?
[02:23] <Alan_M> !hardy | anubis26
[02:23] <ubotu> anubis26: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[02:23] <[Rocc]> Could anyone help me with my wireless setup?
[02:23] <soundray> anubis26: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[02:23] <icesword> anubis26, sure?but read readme,first
[02:23] <rbil> select nvidia
[02:23] <mohbana> soundray, its scrolling slow, in vista i could set the number of lines scrolling in logitech set point how do i do that in linux?
[02:23] <rbil> nv is the OSS one
[02:24] <bazhang> kravlin: the link I sent had some workarounds; best to try those--booting may take as long as three minutes with that motherboard
[02:24] <Pelo> orudie, that is way over my head , but there are some instructions you can try to follow on the original link you gave me ,  you'll probably need to install build essential first ( sudo apt-get install build-essential)  that will let you make and stuff,   let me look for hte correct tar command syntax
[02:24] <anubis26> aight thanks
[02:24] <dmsuperman> rbil: kernel framebuffer device interface?
[02:24] <rbil> sorry???
[02:24] <dmsuperman> rbil: it asks if i want to use kernel framebuffer device interface
[02:24] <rbil> that should just be for cli consoles I'd think
[02:24] <orudie> Pelo, ok thanx
[02:25] <kravlin> bazhang: what link? did you send it in a PM?
[02:25] <nefty> I am trying to install VMWare Tools in a virtual machine.  I installed the build-essential package, then extracted the vmware tools  tar.gz file.  I ran the vmware-install.pl script to install it, and successfully did, but now I have to configure it.  It's asking me "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[02:25] <nefty> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[02:25] <nefty> The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory."  Does anyone know where that directory is?  Sorry this question is so long...
[02:25] <MTeck> I execute the command "rsync -r --partial --progress tux@redbull:/backup/kabbalah/media/music/* ./" it seems to work perfect except that it keeps hitting random points where it just stops... It pretty much just freezes up and won't continue.... Any ideas what's going on?
[02:25] <Alan_M> in 15 days hardy discussions can be made in this room, not before then please folks. Thank you and have a wonderful day :)
[02:25] <icesword> lol
[02:25] <Nith> netfy: pastebin plz
[02:25] <nefty> oh
[02:25] <bazhang> kravlin nay; from the ubuntuforums posted here in channel
[02:25] <nefty> yeah, sorry
[02:26] <Alan_M> wow, my head actually spun on that one nefty :/
[02:26] <cybojanek> DOes anyone know how to setup gnome-schedule to play a song at a particular time every hour?
[02:26] <bazhang> but but hardy room is so quiet!
[02:26] <Alan_M> baz, so stir em up! :D
[02:26] <dmsuperman> rbil: is there a cli irc client so i don't have to keep rejoining?
[02:26] <Nith> dmsuperman: i suggest using "screen" and "irssi"
[02:26] <Alan_M> bazhang, i do every time i join ;) (since i AM on hardy atm)
[02:26] <Nith> dmsuperman: they changed my irc life
[02:26] <genii> Nith: Beat me to it
[02:27]  * Nith smiles
[02:27] <bazhang> Alan_M: as are most of us ;]
[02:27] <rbil> dmsuperman: probably as there's everything for linux but I don't know one
[02:27] <pharoh> does linux have like a standard C compiler,editor en all..not the usual eclipse with CDF en all?
[02:27] <pharoh> i mean CDT
[02:27] <Pelo> orudie, sorry I have no idea how to extract that file using the command line
[02:27] <kravlin> bazhang: I didn't get it. possible you posted in another channel by mistake?
[02:27] <nefty> sorry for my bad etiquette, I'll use pastebin this time
[02:27] <McGod> Found a bug I think:X
[02:27] <q_a_z_steve> who can help me with partimage ? Stuck while trying to back up to a network...
[02:27] <soundray> mohbana: this is determined in the application. In firefox, for example, you can change it in about:config (enter this  as the URL) by editing the key mousewheel.withnokey.numlines
[02:27] <gaucho> Where Can I find libdvdcss for gutsy amd64?
[02:28] <Pelo> gaucho, seveas repos

[02:28] <Pelo> !dvd > gaucho
[02:28] <dmsuperm1n> am i here?
[02:28] <dougsko> pharoh: a lot of people use gcc to compile, and there are a ton of editors. you might want to try vim or scite
[02:28] <genii> Pelo: medibuntu has no amd64 version?
[02:28] <gaucho> Pelo: the rebot said nothing..
[02:29] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, no you are there
[02:29] <Alan_M> i dunno dmsuperm1n are you? (sarcasm)
[02:29] <orudie> Pelo, did you get that tar syntax for me ?
[02:29] <Pelo> genii, no idea

[02:29] <Pelo> !dvd | gaucho
[02:29] <ubotu> gaucho: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:29] <soundray> mohbana: I'm not sure
[02:29] <McGod> Is there a way to disable it from using interfaces
[02:29] <dmsuperm1n> alright
[02:29] <McGod> Ubuntu hangs there
[02:29] <McGod> AFAIK
[02:29] <pharoh> dougsko: i use gcc..but i had a problem,it dint recognise the headre file alloc.h.any ideas why?
[02:29] <bazhang> McGod: disable what
[02:30] <McGod> it from starting network
[02:30] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: i've just finished running that reconfigure script
[02:30] <kravlin> !socket 754 > kravlin
[02:30] <rbil> and?
[02:30] <McGod> When I login now, I get a grey box in top-left
[02:30] <kravlin> fail.
[02:30] <pharoh> dougsko:i meant header file
[02:30] <McGod> And stops
[02:30] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: and when i restart xserver, it says i'm in low settings mode
[02:30] <dougsko> pharoh: have you installed the package, build-essential?
[02:30] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: with options to continue, configure, or shut down
[02:30] <q_a_z_steve> r0bby: hey, do you know how to get partimaged and "Partimage Is Not Ghost" talking?
[02:30]  * Nith hates low settings mode
[02:31] <kravlin> !socket 754 | kravlin
[02:31] <pharoh> dougsko:yeap.did that yesterday.
[02:31] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: and when i continue, it just freezes with the orange background
[02:31] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: a mouse and orange wallpaper, nothing else onscreen and nothing happening
[02:31] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: darn, got me? what did u do with the framebuffer choice?
[02:31] <bazhang> McGod: put your issue all on one line in a clear concise sentence and if someone knows they will answer; please dont use enter key every two words
[02:31] <Nith> dmsuperm1n: when it freezes, can you switch to a tty (CTRL+ALT+F1) ?
[02:31] <dryrot> is there a good GUI for openvpn client ?
[02:31] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: it said the safe option was yes
[02:31] <kravlin> bazhang: still don't see it. i'll google it.
[02:31] <dmsuperm1n> Nith: that's how i'm in the irc :d
[02:31] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: how did u install the nvidia drivers to start with?
[02:31] <Gilou> dryrot> the network manager has a plugin for it
[02:31] <kg96> envy-ng
[02:32] <Pelo> dryrot, do a search in synaptic, if there is a gui it might say -gtk or -gui
[02:32] <Gilou> with limited support, but it works
[02:32] <dougsko> pharoh: how about the headers for your kernel? something like - linux-headers-686
[02:32] <Nith> dmsuperm1n: do "ps -e | grep compiz.real" and see if it returns anything
[02:32] <dryrot> Gilou: i know.  I couldn't get it to work
[02:32] <Gilou> ah?
[02:32] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: it said "there are restricted drivers for you to use, enable?" and i enabled
[02:32] <bazhang> kg96: please dont recommend that here
[02:32] <Gilou> well, I could, but sometimes I need more than the available options
[02:32] <kg96> ?
[02:32] <Gilou> plus it has a weird way of handling dhcp settings, but well...
[02:32] <kg96> didnt know that wasnt allowed
[02:32] <nefty> a VMWare related question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62691/
[02:32] <dmsuperm1n> Nith: nothing
[02:32] <epistax> Has anyone gotten a Lexmark scanner (all-in-one) to work in Ubuntu? Specifically, it's the crappy x2470
[02:32] <pharoh> dougsko:huh????u mean have i installed that?
[02:33] <Pelo> kg96, we don'T realy like 3rd party instaler scripts
[02:33] <kg96> fair enough
[02:33] <bazhang> kg96: you can do what you wish; first that is for Hardy (another channel) and second newer users will not know how to recover from a kernel upgrade with that
[02:33] <wers> how do I put page number on openoffice?
[02:33] <r0bby> q_a_z_steve: stop asking me shit
[02:33] <McGod> I am running Hardy, I had finally gotten WPA2 to work with my wireless, I added a preup and predown to my interfaces file. I then restarted the computer and now when I login it goes through then gets stuck with a grey box in the top left with the beige background.
[02:33] <genii> dryrot: PErhaps see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347308 if you can't find one in the repositories
[02:33] <r0bby> I'd prefer to not look in here...
[02:34] <bazhang> !hardy | McGod
[02:34] <ubotu> McGod: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[02:34] <dougsko> pharoh: im asking if you have installed the package containing the headers for your kernel? do a search in synaptic for "linux-headers" to see what im talking about
[02:34] <peepsalot> i can't figure out how to get Java applets to run in firefox, on gutsy 64bit
[02:34] <peepsalot> i have sun-java6-jre installed
[02:34] <zengshu> yeah
[02:34] <Pelo> peepsalot,   you also need the -pluggin package
[02:35] <peepsalot> ubuntuguide.org says to install sun-java6-plugin, but that one isn't in the repos
[02:35] <dmsuperm1n> anybody: in a tty, how do i scroll up?
[02:35] <Nith> dmsuperm1n: shift+pageup
[02:35] <dmsuperm1n> Nith: even in irssi?
[02:35] <Pelo> peepsalot, in backport ,  make sure it is enalbed,   just search for java and browse until you find the -plugin one
[02:35] <Nith> dmsuperm1n: in irssi, just pageup
[02:36] <dougsko> pharoh: you need to install the package that matches your kernel. most likely thatll either be linux-headers-386, or linux-headers-686. you can use the command, 'uname -r' to see your kernel version if you want to check

[02:36] <peepsalot> Pelo,  backport? what is that?
[02:36] <peepsalot> how do I enable that
[02:37] <Pelo> peepsalot, one of the repos,  close synaptic,  open  Menu > system > admin > software sources,  check all the boxes on the first tab and all the boxes on the third tab as well , reload,   open synaptic and search
[02:37] <dougsko> nefty: i think youre having the same problem as pharoh. read what ive been saying to him
[02:37] <nefty> yeah I've kind of noticed that, heh
[02:37] <dmsuperm1n> how can i scroll up and down in irssi?
[02:37] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: what's your graphics card again?
[02:37] <nefty> I'm looking in synaptic now
[02:38] <dougsko> dmsuperm1n: pgup, pgdown
[02:38] <dmsuperm1n> shit...it stopped scrolling up
[02:38] <pharoh> dougsko: i have.there are alot of headers here by the way...
[02:38] <dmsuperm1n> alright
[02:38] <dmsuperm1n> now
[02:38] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n,  we appreciate your frustration but please , watch your language
[02:38] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: sorry
[02:38]  * Pelo 's innocent ears are bleeding now , damit
[02:39] <dmsuperm1n> fixed it, but how can i manually scroll up and down in irssi?
[02:39] <dougsko> pharoh: right, but unless you have installed a different kernel on your own, you can just use linux-headers-386
[02:39] <Nith> can he read this?
[02:39] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: just re-ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:39]  * Nith wonders if dmsuperm1n is stuck in the logs
[02:39] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: without kernel framebuffer
[02:39] <dmsuperm1n> Nith: nope, i just don't know how to scroll still
[02:40] <Nith> dmsuperm1n: just page up and page down
[02:40] <supreme> hola
[02:40] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: and it still freezes upon entering user and pass
[02:40] <dmsuperm1n> ah, i'm retarded
[02:40] <Pelo> !es | supreme
[02:40] <ubotu> supreme: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[02:40] <Nith> supreme: hello
[02:40] <dmsuperm1n> I never used pageup/down :P
[02:40] <pharoh> dougsko:okay.there was linux headers-header files related to linux AND linux-headres 386.i installed both.that okay?
[02:40] <supreme> I speak english too
[02:40] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: I'm feeling retarded at the moment as well, the darn thing shouldn't be this difficult
[02:40] <Pelo> supreme, don'T lie to us we know you only speak espanol
[02:40] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: i know, it's my terrible luck
[02:40] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: maybe something in you're bios settings?
[02:41] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: i've spent a total of something like 15 hours in the past 2 days just trying to get ubuntu to a usable state
[02:41] <supreme> Pelo, yeah, and i'm putting this words randomly
[02:41] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: and reinstalling hasn't helped a bit
[02:41] <dougsko> pharoh: linux-headers is probly just a dummy for something. you dont need that one. but it wont make any difference id you do install it
[02:41] <Nith> its possible, just not very likely
[02:41] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: reintalling what?
[02:41] <Pelo> supreme,  and eventualy your luck will run out
[02:41] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: Ubuntu completely
[02:41] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: that shouldn't be necessary
[02:41] <peepsalot> thanks Pelo
[02:42] <pharoh> dougsko: okay.so am good to go now right?
[02:42] <supreme> Pelo, yours too
[02:42] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, can you summerise your problem for me , I canme in late
[02:42] <bazhang> heh
[02:42] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: I just want a working dual monitor setup
[02:42] <rbil> Pelo: please help this is getting crazy
[02:42] <dougsko> pharoh: i hope so
[02:42] <dmsuperm1n> however, nvidia-settings returns errors and won't allow me to configure
[02:42] <Pelo> rbil, not sure I can
[02:42] <dougsko> pharoh: what are you compiling, anyway?
[02:42]  * Nith hates vid card issues
[02:42] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, I assume you have the one monitor working, your not chatting to us from a different computer
[02:43] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: give Pelo those errors again with nvidia-settings
[02:43] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: hardly, i'm using irssi
[02:43] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: can't, it won't even load the desktop anymore
[02:43] <pharoh> dougsko: some programme i wrote.i'm in college doing C/C++/java.so i have to
[02:43] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, you haven't even managed to get one montor up with gui %?
[02:43] <Nith> xmms2 next
[02:43] <Nith> uh, sorry
[02:44] <dougsko> pharoh: if you need any external libraries, there are a ton of those in the repo too
[02:44] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: earlier, yes. upon running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to start fresh though
[02:44] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: I'll look back and try and find them, hold on
[02:44] <SirBob1701> what package do i have to install to program C++ and SDL/OpenGL in ubuntu?
[02:44] <dmsuperm1n> it now boots into low-settings mode
[02:44] <dmsuperm1n> and once i enter my username
[02:44] <pharoh> dougsko: really?how do i get em?any specific names?
[02:44] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, just so I know where you are at and where you are going, is this accurate,   you want two monitor with gui using nvidia videocard but atm you have one monitor runnig text mode and you are stuck there ?
[02:44] <dmsuperm1n> it just shows the orange wallpaper
[02:44] <dmsuperm1n> and mouse works
[02:45] <FloodBot1> dmsuperm1n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:45] <kravlin> bazhang: still don't see it in google. you still got the link?
[02:45] <dougsko> pharoh: do a search for "lib" in synaptic and youll see what i mean
[02:45] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: Yes. My xserver won't come up properly. it shows the orange wallpaper and the cursor, but nothing else comes up
[02:45] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: and on first booting it it says it's in low-settings mode
[02:46] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: It makes the happy noises though
[02:46] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n,my fist recommendation is to do  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg first , and select eh vesa driver,  meaning we'll start from scratch ,  then' we'll ge tyou the one monitor working properly then you can get the dualhead stuff going
[02:46] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: here's some of it ..ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this Display.
[02:47] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright, h/o
[02:47] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, run the reconfigure, and select the vesa driver,  for everything else leave the default,  exept the resolution you can go to 1024 if you want
[02:47] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: so, don't auto-detect hardware?
[02:47] <dougsko> anyone else find the fluxbox package to be broken? like itll load up for a half a second, then just throw you back to the console with no errors?
[02:47] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, no , vesa
[02:47] <nefty> dougsko: okay, I installed linux-headers-386, but then I saw linux-headers-virtual and installed that, too, since this is a virutal machine.  I'm not sure which one to use, but I think I'll use the 386 one to be safe.  So I'm assuming I have to put "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-386/include" for the directory?
[02:48] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, understand I can only take you so far in this problem, you'll have to do most of the work yourself
[02:48] <rbil> Pelo: I gave him my xorg.conf and it should have worked for him. There's some deeper prob with his system
[02:48] <Pelo> rbil, unless you ahve the exact same machine,  that probably won't work
[02:48] <Pelo> q_a_z_steve, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[02:49] <bazhang> kravlin: forgot your problem; what are some keywords to it again?
[02:49] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright, i'm at horizsomething and the vertsync area, where i can pick "simple" "medium" or "advanced"
[02:49] <q_a_z_steve> Pelo: can you help me with partimage?
[02:49] <dougsko> nefty: you should be able to use whatever default directory it suggests. i dont think you need linux-headers-virtual, but it doesnt hurt to install it anyway. and you can check what kernel youre using with 'uname -r'
[02:49] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, one should be selected as default, use that, or just skip or next or wathever
[02:49] <nefty> dougsko: the problem was that the default directory didn't exist
[02:49] <Pelo> q_a_z_steve, i do not know partimage, I 've never used it
[02:50] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright, reconfigured
[02:50] <dmsuperm1n> how do i completely shut  down and bring up xserver
[02:50] <dougsko> nefty: it should after you install the header package
[02:50] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, ok restart x , you should have a gui now
[02:50] <bazhang> dougsko: this is fluxbox on top of ubuntu or the straight configured fluxbuntu distro
[02:50] <dmsuperm1n> ctrl + alt + backspace seems like it doesn't reload the config
[02:50] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, sudo shutdown
[02:50] <nefty> dougsko: okay, I checked which kernel I was using, it's just 2.6.22-14-generic
[02:50] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:51] <Pelo> rbil, if yo want to do it the correct way , sure
[02:51] <kravlin> it's a problem with a 754 port board. it starts, displays an error that it can't allocate region 3 and then stalls out on the loading bar.
[02:51] <dougsko> bazhang: ubuntu + flux. also the fluxbuntu though. my solution was to just comile my own from the website and make a deb from that
[02:51] <kravlin> bazhang:it's a problem with a 754 port board. it starts, displays an error that it can't allocate region 3 and then stalls out on the loading bar.
[02:51] <zeeeee> hi, how do i type in an east asian language (e.g. chinese)?
[02:51] <rbil> Pelo: don't think he wants to lose his irc connection :-)
[02:51] <Pelo> zeeeee, try asking in #ubuntu-cn they probably know
[02:52] <bazhang> zeeeee: install scim/skim and the language support
[02:52] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright, rebooted
[02:52] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: correct :D
[02:52] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n,  do you have gui now ?
[02:52] <pharoh> dougsko: wow!!!too much!question,what does it mean when they say a language is objective?
[02:52] <zeeeee> bazhang, are they packages? do i install both?
[02:52] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: It's weird. When i first come to the user screen, it's a high resolution. Then I enter my user/pass, and it goes way low res and i'm stuck again
[02:52] <bazhang> zeeeee: you on gnome or kde
[02:52] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: still just orange wallpaper and no windows or anything but a cursor
[02:52] <zeeeee> bazhang, oh, scim is for gnome, i see
[02:53] <fiN> DCC SEND asdadasdadasdasdasdasd
[02:53] <bazhang> zeeeee: right
[02:53] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, that's not a big isse ,  type alt_f2 ,  type gnome-panel , see if anything happens
[02:53] <wobbiebobbie> hi guys help
[02:53]  * genii gets the floodbots some more coffee
[02:53] <dougsko> nefty: ok, install linux-headers-generic
[02:53] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n,  your install is majorly borked
[02:54] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: I think the driver you have is screwed. Maybe it didn't install properly?
[02:54] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: I've just installed it yesterday, and i haven't even changed anything
[02:54] <ahmed_> j/ #linuxac
[02:54] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: How would i re-grab it from command line?
[02:54] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, did you type what I said and get the pannels ?
[02:54] <ahmed_> j/ #linuxac
[02:54] <Pelo> ahmed_, /j
[02:54] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: did you want me to run gnome-panel from my other tty?
[02:54] <ahmed_> sorry i try to log into the arabic room
[02:54] <dougsko> pharoh: read a ruby tutorial to learn about objective languages
[02:55] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, for the computer you are having trouble with atm form the gui
[02:55] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: That's what I've been saying. I don't have a gui to use. it has the cursor, sure, but i can't do anything else.
[02:55] <pharoh> dougsko:okay,thanks.
[02:56] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n,  type alt+f2 , you should get a little box for launching apps
[02:56] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: you're doing Alt+F7 to get to gui ?
[02:56] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: nope
[02:56] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: yes
[02:56] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: well ctrl + alt + f7
[02:56] <bazhang> zeeeee: you then need to configure scim global engine and how to launch it; or you can right click select input method and then you are good to go
[02:56] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, ok ,  try this  get back to consol and type  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:56] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: nvm, yeah just alt + f7
[02:57] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: already latest version
[02:57] <nefty> dougsko: okay, I get it now, I was trying to use headers for different versions of kernels I wasn't running.  Sheesh this is confusing... shouldn't the headers for your kernel come pre-installed?
[02:57] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: isn't that just reinstalling ubuntu completely?
[02:57] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, how did you originaly install this ?
[02:57] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: live cd
[02:57] <rbil> Pelo: how at cli does one switch to metacity if he's got compiz desktop by default?
[02:57] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, I was assuming you were missing a bunch of packages
[02:57] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: nope
[02:57] <dougsko> nefty: in ubuntu, they assume people arent compiling things. thats why it doesnt come with the gnu tools or anything
[02:57] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: at one point, gui worked
[02:58] <Pelo> rbil,  no idea
[02:58] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: but when I was trying to get dual monitor going
[02:58] <dougsko> bazhang: have you noticed anything weird about the fluxbox packages too?
[02:58] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: the xserver configuration got thrashed somehow
[02:58] <bazhang> kravlin: cant find it; what I did was paste that exact error message (the long one) into a search engine of choice and it gave me the ubuntuforums link
[02:58] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: u still have mine and your old xorg, correct?
[02:58] <kravlin> ok. thanks
[02:58] <kravlin> bazhang: last night?
[02:59] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: not yours, my very first original that came with install, yes
[02:59] <kravlin> bazhang: thanks for the help too.
[02:59] <linkinxp> is there any program similar to quickbooks?
[02:59] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, you messed up big time,  I recommend a clean install, start from scratch,  just reinstall fresh, and when you get a working desktop come back here and we can proceed from there
[02:59] <bazhang> dougsko: only used the easy configured fluxbuntu distro, haven't tried fluxbox on Hardy yet
[02:59] <dougsko> nefty: thats something to remember too if you decide to switch kernels. youll need the corresponding header package as well
[02:59] <dougsko> bazhang: well me neither. i was referring to gutsy
[02:59] <bazhang> kravlin: yeah, the pci failed to allocate region 3 0.000.000 etc
[02:59] <levander> Has anyone else tried opening a KML file in Google Earth on Ubuntu?  It's acting flakely as hell here.
[03:00] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: I haven't change a single thing on this install except for the xorg.conf
[03:00] <bazhang> dougsko: so I should be last person to ask ;]
[03:00] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: your original should get u to a gui, no?
[03:00] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, we can spend hours ( we already have I beleive) trying to hunt down the current problem or you can take 30 min to clean install and we do it correctly from there,  I do not have hours to spend hunting remotely
[03:00] <nefty> dougsko: thanks for your help, I think I got it installed;  and no, I don't plan on using a different kernel any time soon... heh gotta take things one step at a time  :P
[03:00] <Pelo> nor do I care to
[03:01] <kravlin> bazhang: the one asnwer i got told me to put pci=nommconf into grub.lst. how would that help exactly? Grub doesn't recognize it.
[03:01] <dougsko> nefty: cool, glad you got it worked out
[03:01] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, sorry if I sound harsh but this is where we are at
[03:01] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright
[03:01] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu completely
[03:01] <Ascii> Huh...
[03:01] <Nith> I understand its purpose but that was irritating
[03:01] <bazhang> 30 minutes? more like 15-20 these days ;]
[03:01] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: will you be here when i return?
[03:01] <alecw1> What's the default font that every application uses in Firefox? I went to the GNOME font dialog, and all it says is "Sans". But there isn't a font called Sans... what does it use?
[03:02] <Ascii> I'm trying to figure out which IRC client is best in Ubuntu.
[03:02] <bazhang> xchat Ascii
[03:02] <dmsuperm1n> bazhang: i doubt it'll even take that to actually install it
[03:02] <Nith> irssi + screen
[03:02] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: I don't agree with Pelo's assessment. if only xorg is scrwing up now, don't see why a reinstall of the whole os is necessary. but do whatever feels right for you
[03:02] <bazhang> dmsuperm1n: likely 10-12 ;]
[03:02] <Ascii> I'm using Xchat Gnome atm, but I can't find the server list or the user list...
[03:02] <Ascii> Bit of a Linux noob atm.
[03:02] <dmsuperm1n> rbil: i'd rather not but if the only way to get help is to reinstall then i really haven't got a choice
[03:03] <RyanPrior> When I right click and left click at the same time, it middle clicks. Is there a way to disable that behaviour?
[03:03] <bazhang> Ascii: just straight xchat not xchat-gnome
[03:03] <Pelo> rbil, xorg is screwed and we just reconfigured it , now he gets x working but the rest of the desktop doesn't load , so he ,s stuck ,  clean install is simpler
[03:03] <dmsuperm1n> argh, linux is 100% headache every single time i try to use it
[03:03] <Pelo> and faster
[03:03] <Ascii> Ahh.  This is like the lite version?
[03:03] <bazhang> Ascii: the superior version ;]
[03:03] <dmsuperm1n> Ascii: I'm just now trying out irssi, i love it so far
[03:03] <rbil> Pelo, dmsuperm1n: ok, good luck with it
[03:03] <dmsuperm1n> Ascii: command line sexiness
[03:04] <Ascii> Oh nevermind.
[03:04] <Ascii> Sorry.
[03:04] <Ascii> I'm using Gnome Xchat.
[03:04] <RyanPrior> dmsuperm1n: "Crappy old OSes have value in the basically negative sense that changing to new ones makes us wish we'd never been born."
[03:04] <RyanPrior> -Neal Stephenson
[03:04] <Ascii> Though you were suggesting... nevermind, I'm slow atm.
[03:05] <rbil> dmsuperm1n: gotta leave, best of luck
[03:05] <ZiggyFish> hey, I'm trying to get adobe air to install on ubuntu, but it is failing with
[03:05] <dmsuperm1n> RyanPrior: only there's nothing crappy about windows xp. only reason i'm trying to get ubuntu is so that i can say i did, and that worst case scenario it doesn't work out and i can go back to everything just working without needing hours to configure each little thing
[03:05] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: if i reinstall, are you going to stick around?
[03:05] <Ascii> Same here DM.
[03:05] <Ascii> I dual boot XP / Ubuntu.
[03:05] <Pelo> dmsuperm1n, for an hour , that is all I can promis
[03:06] <dmsuperm1n> Pelo: alright, see you soon
[03:06] <kelso78> i'm looking for some help
[03:06] <Elazar> Anyone have any experience getting vga-out to work with laptops running an integrated Intel graphics card 965 chipset?
[03:06] <bazhang> dmsuperm1n: if linux is not for you then stick with what you love/enjoy; life is too short for %100 headaches
[03:06] <kelso78> I'm having trouble updating ubuntu
[03:06] <ZiggyFish> An error has occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact you administator
[03:07] <kelso78> i keep getting an error: could not download all repository indexes
[03:07] <bazhang> kelso78: which repos?
[03:07] <RyanPrior> ZiggyFish: Are you running the installer as root?
[03:07] <ZiggyFish> yes
[03:07] <kelso78> i'm logged in as a user not root
[03:08] <kelso78> do i need to log out and back in as root?
[03:08] <rycole> hey all. does anyone know which package provides the apache module called "apr_dbd_mysql.so". it's the mod_dbd module for mysql.
[03:08] <kelso78> it seems all the repos
[03:08] <RyanPrior> ZiggyFish: In that case, it's probably just an AIR bug. It's still in development.
[03:08] <kelso78> sorry, ryanprior, I didn't realize you weren't talking to me
[03:08] <ZiggyFish> RyanPrior: dam, should I report the bug
[03:09] <bazhang> kelso78: could you pastebin your sources.list please
[03:09] <RyanPrior> ZiggyFish: Yes, but against AIR, not against Ubuntu.
[03:09] <ir2> hey can someone help me install a file that needs root privelages?
[03:09] <ZiggyFish> RyanPrior: k
[03:09] <RyanPrior> !sudo | ir2
[03:09] <ubotu> ir2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[03:09] <Nertos_Ufa> Всем привет
[03:09] <ir2> ok
[03:09] <Pelo> !ru | Nertos_Ufa
[03:09] <ubotu> Nertos_Ufa: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke
[03:09] <ir2> but see i dunno how to enable it
[03:09] <bazhang> !ru | Nertos_Ufa
[03:10] <RyanPrior> Russian looks so leet.
[03:10] <kelso78> bazhang: sorry, I'm very new to linux so I'm not sure how to do that
[03:10] <ir2> like i need to drag a file to the /usr/lib file so yami pod will work. but when i try to drag it, it says i need administrator privelages
[03:10] <ir2> it says i need root provelages
[03:10] <RyanPrior> !pastebin | kelso78
[03:10] <ubotu> kelso78: 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)
[03:10] <ir2> so
[03:10] <bazhang> he knows which channel to join; just saying 'hello all'
[03:10] <Pelo> kfr
[03:11] <RyanPrior> kelso78: source.list is /etc/apt/sources.list, I think
[03:11] <ir2> so what do i need to type in the terminal to get root provelages
[03:11] <Nith> ir2: sudo <command>
[03:11] <Pelo> ir2, open a terminal  sudo cp /source /destination
[03:11] <Nith> ir2: or "sudo -s"
[03:11] <kelso78> excellent thanks
[03:11] <ir2> whats cp?
[03:11] <bazhang> copy
[03:11] <RyanPrior> ir2: cp is a program which copies files
[03:12] <Pelo> ir2,  command for copying
[03:12] <LjL> ir2, when people give you commands, "man <commandname>" will give you information about that command.
[03:12] <Nertos_Ufa> join #ubuntu-ru
[03:12] <bazhang> Nertos_Ufa: /j
[03:12] <Pelo> Nertos_Ufa, /join ....
[03:12] <ir2> well
[03:12] <ir2> like
[03:12] <ir2> when u say source and destination
[03:12] <RyanPrior> !enter | ir2
[03:12] <ubotu> ir2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:12] <ir2> i know the destination
[03:13] <Nertos_Ufa> it works too
[03:13] <Pelo> ir2, where is the file you need to move ?
[03:13] <ir2> in my yamipod folder
[03:13] <ubuntu> this is dmsuperm1n/dmsuperman
[03:13] <ubuntu> it's installing now
[03:13] <Nertos_Ufa> in XChat-GNOME IRC
[03:14] <Pelo> ir2,   then sudo cp  /media/yamipod/filename /usr/lib/filename
[03:14] <RyanPrior> ir2: Suppose you wanted to move a file from /home/ir2/yamipod/my.file to /usr/lib/my.file -- you would type (without quotes) "cp /home/ir2/yamipod/my.file /usr/lib"
[03:14] <Elv1313> anybody know how to get the output of a bash command into a sting in CPP? I tried execclr, system() and few other, but they all return integer
[03:14] <RyanPrior> ir2: And in order to run that command as root, you just type "sudo" at the beginning of it.
[03:14] <Asciiew> Ok, I'm on KSirc now, I think I like this better.
[03:14] <marx2k> Whats the foolproof method of installing NVidia drivers?
[03:14] <marx2k> !nvidia
[03:14] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:14] <ZiggyFish> RyanPrior: I just installed binutils-dev and it worked
[03:14] <OwnerOnline> Do all linux versions install the same?
[03:14] <ZiggyFish> RyanPrior: thanks
[03:15] <ppibburr> Elv1313, you will need a pipe
[03:15] <bazhang> OwnerOnline: nay
[03:15] <marx2k> ugh... cant go to a website since I am text only :/
[03:15] <RyanPrior> marx2k: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[03:15] <Pelo> marx2k, the foolproof method is to use the restricted driver in the admin menu
[03:15] <kelso78> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62692/
[03:15] <RyanPrior> marx2k: lynx
[03:15] <Asciiew> So what does this Adobe air do?
[03:15] <wapko> marx2k: i like using envy. google it
[03:15] <kelso78> I think that's what you are looking for
[03:15] <Asciiew> <-noob
[03:15] <bazhang> wapko: please dont recommend that here
[03:15] <Pelo> Asciiew, it's adobe so it,s probably image related, and bloated
[03:15] <marx2k> RyanPrior: I will try lynx but from memory, it sucks :)
[03:15] <ir2> yea it says no such file
[03:15] <RyanPrior> Asciiew: Adobe AIR is similar to Mozilla Prism - it gives web apps a dedicated window and runtime environment, allowing closer integration with desktop apps.
[03:15] <wapko> bazhang: oh, ok. im sorry
[03:16] <marx2k> !nvidia
[03:16] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:16] <wapko> may i ask why bazhang  ? :D
[03:16] <RyanPrior> marx2k: lynx is the shit, I use it all the time.
[03:16] <Asciiew> Ah ok, ty much.
[03:16] <Starnestommy> !envy | wapko
[03:16] <ubotu> wapko: 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 »
[03:16] <Elv1313> ppibburr: how do i do that?
[03:16] <Pelo> ir2, linux is case sensitive ,  meaning capital letters count
[03:16] <wapko> causes problems i presume
[03:17] <bazhang> wapko: newer users will have trouble recovering from a kernel upgrade for one; and we generaly dont like third party scripts here as we have to help fix the damage
[03:17] <RyanPrior> ir2: Tab-completion helps a lot to get your filenames right. Type in the beginning of the file name then type tab and, if you typed the beginning right, the command line will guess what you are typing and fill it in for you.
[03:17] <ubuntu> alright, Pelo
[03:17] <Pelo> bazhang, to much info , just tell him you'll beat him up if he does it again
[03:17] <kelso78> bazhang: did you see my link for the source list?
[03:17] <bazhang> Pelo: ;]
[03:17] <ubuntu> this is dmsuperman, it's now installing
[03:18] <ppibburr> Elv1313, well i code in ruby, so im sure its different :) but running the command through system to direct the the output to a file, we can be loaded is one way i now would work, ruby has IO::popen Popen3::open3 :)
[03:18] <ubuntu> Pelo: Anything in particular i should do once installed?
[03:18] <ir2> it wont work
[03:18] <ir2> :(
[03:18] <marx2k> One of the main problems for me is once I am in the failsafe X, it doesn't recognize that I *have* an NVidia card. How can I remedy that?
[03:18] <wobbiebobbie> hi room
[03:18] <Pelo> ubuntu, yes,  do not do anything , other then try to install the restricted driver from the admin menu, that is the only safe thing to do at this point
[03:18] <wobbiebobbie> I need some help please
[03:18] <Pelo> ir2, read this  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php that will get you started in command line stuff
[03:19] <recon> !ask | wobbiebobbie
[03:19] <ubotu> wobbiebobbie: 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. :-)
[03:19] <Pelo> wobbiebobbie, we need actualy questions
[03:19] <RyanPrior> wobbiebobbie: This is the help room, and we're happy to have you. If you're interested in socializing, there's #ubuntu-offtopic as well. Welcome. :-)
[03:19] <bazhang> kelso78: some of the entries have #added by software properties at the end; best to edit those out and then refresh and try again
[03:19] <Pelo> this is not a room this is a channel
[03:19] <peepsalot> is there some easy way to tell what application is using my hard disk?  it's been thrashing for about half an hour or so
[03:19] <Fezzler> My daughter likes to play Pengiun Racer.  I switched from a Monitor to LCD and now when she starts Penguin Racer, the screen goes black and a cursor arrow appears.  Screen controls show resolution switches to 800x600.  But I'm all locked up????
[03:19] <wobbiebobbie> well I have ubuntu 7.10 and I downloaded ubuntu studio
[03:19] <Gordon_Freeman> Uboo2
[03:19] <kelso78> will give it a try, tnx
[03:19] <RyanPrior> Pelo: pedantic much? =D
[03:20] <Daisuke_Ido> is room or channel really THAT important a distinction?
[03:20] <Pelo> RyanPrior, I iron my underware what do you think ?
[03:20] <Daisuke_Ido> wow
[03:20] <bazhang> channel/room war!
[03:20] <RyanPrior> Pelo: I think you like putting on warm underwear. I like that too. :-)
[03:20] <ubuntu> Pelo: tmi
[03:20] <wobbiebobbie> it told me to reboot and it says failed to start the x server and thats it
[03:20] <ubuntu> :P
[03:21] <BarryToeman> peepsalot: you can try the "top" command in a terminal, although it shows processes listed by CPU usage, but it may help
[03:21] <ubuntu> 50%
[03:21] <Pelo> wobbiebobbie, from the command line type  startx
[03:21] <ir2> well i there any other way to get root privelages
[03:21] <ir2> without the terminal
[03:21] <pawan> hi
[03:21] <wobbiebobbie> ok hold on
[03:21] <pawan> when is the new version coming out
[03:21] <ubuntu> peepsalot: guess :D
[03:21] <bazhang> wobbiebobbie: best to enable the ubuntustudio repos and add stuff from that--you can keep all your non-free drivers intact in that scenario
[03:21] <Pelo> ir2, alt_f2   type  gksu nautilus
[03:22] <kelso78> I'm not logged in as root so I don't think it will allow me to edit that file
[03:22] <bazhang> April 24th pawan
[03:22] <RyanPrior> pawan: It's coming out this month!
[03:22] <wobbiebobbie> how do i do that baz
[03:22] <jtisme> !hardy |pawan
[03:22] <Pelo> kelso78, start the editor with gksu , as in  gksu gedit /path/filename
[03:22] <ubotu> pawan: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[03:22] <kelso78> thanks
[03:22] <Maquiasfarano> ﻿Fezzler, did you try to see the behavior with Desktop Effects turned off?
[03:22] <ubuntu> kelso78: sudo gedit
[03:22] <bazhang> ubotu lag
[03:22] <ubotu> You have lag, I don't have lag
[03:23] <Pelo> ubuntu, for gui apps gksu , for commands sudo
[03:23] <RyanPrior> When I right click and left click at the same time, it middle clicks. Is there a way to disable that behaviour?
[03:23] <ubuntu> Pelo isn't it gksudo ?
[03:23] <ubuntu> Pelo: and is the difference?
[03:23] <macogw> ubuntu: same thing in uubntu
[03:23] <Nertos_Ufa> what is gksudo?
[03:23] <wapko> was wondering what the difference between gksodu and gksu was
[03:23] <Pelo> ubuntu, gksu and gksudo sar the same
[03:23] <RyanPrior> I'm surprised that the person who has been around Freenode long enough to have the name "ubuntu" needs help. =D
[03:23] <Pelo> Nertos_Ufa, sudo for gtk apps
[03:23] <macogw> ubuntu: other distros would use gksu to be like su and gksudo to be like sudo, but since ubuntu just uses sudo for eerything, they function the same except gksu involves less typing
[03:23] <bazhang> wobbiebobbie: do you know how to add repos? you can do so in synaptic package manager or via the command line
[03:24] <ubuntu> Pelo: what is the difference between gksudo and normal sudo?
[03:24] <ir2> ok after i type that gksu nautilus then what
[03:24] <Nertos_Ufa> thanks
[03:24] <macogw> ubuntu: gksudo pops up a box to ask and does extra permissions checks to keep from breaking GUI apps
[03:24] <hti_pro> hey guys, trying to compile a replacement kernel for ubuntu studio, due to libata driver issues.  The source code for the 2.6.22-14 kernel is around 2.6GB.  The compiled kernel package is 203MB.  Is this normal or did I do something wrong????????/
[03:24] <tritium> RyanPrior: ubuntu is the default nick for a liveCD session user
[03:24] <wobbiebobbie> I just do it from snap
[03:24] <Pelo> ubuntu, read up , gksu is for gtk apps, works a bit differetrnly
[03:24] <RyanPrior> ubuntu: gksudo is for GUI apps, sudo is for command line apps.
[03:24] <Alan_M> macogw, actually thats only partially true :)
[03:24] <ubuntu> macogw: i don't like gksu. i say it out loud, in my head, and it sounds like an angry japanese guy
[03:24] <genii> wapko: gksu will let you run it as any arbitrary user if you specify. Defaults to root. gksudo runs it as your own user with temporary elevated privelege
[03:24] <RyanPrior> tritium: Ah, I didn't realize.
[03:24] <Alan_M> ryanprior has it totally correct :)
[03:24] <rycole> how do i check if a specific package is installed? i don't think it is, but "apt-get install" is only saying "libapr1 is already the newest version."
[03:24] <macogw> hti_pro: source is always bigger
[03:25] <arrow> I'm installing an old harddrive and when I mount it it says "arrow@arrow-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/200GigMaxtor
[03:25] <arrow> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[03:25] <arrow> "
[03:25] <ubuntu> Pelo, RyanPrior: Can't really read up ATM. I got that one is cli, one is gtk, i was wondering if there was a larger reason under the hood
[03:25] <ir2> ok i got it to work
[03:25] <kindofabuzz> rycole, apt-get --help
[03:25] <macogw> Alan_M: what part's not?
[03:25] <wobbiebobbie> I have all the command word saved on the on that wont boot
[03:25] <ir2> how do i mount my ipod inside /mnt or /media with read/write access
[03:25] <RyanPrior> ubuntu: The reason is that GUI apps and CLI apps have different needs from a configuraiton standpoint, and so different launcher apps were designed for each one.
[03:25] <Pelo> ubuntu, there is but it's over my head so I can'T realy explain it
[03:25] <wobbiebobbie> dumb( I cant remember the commands
[03:25] <ubuntu> ah :D
[03:26] <macogw> Alan_M: he just said that you use gksu/do for gui apps.  i gave the reason why this is done...
[03:26] <hti_pro> macogw: ok, is my kernel really 203MB, my old kernel is less than 10MB and all I was trying to do is disable the libata driver
[03:26] <dryrot> What are some tools i can use to verify the integrity of my laptop hard drive?  i tried booting with the cd, i ran fsck successfully, when i boot into ubuntu on my hard drive, the computer gets to the GDM splash screen, then the drive makes weird noises and I can't log in
[03:26] <Fezzler> Maq = So turn OFF Desktop Effects and then try to run Racer?
[03:26] <Pelo> wobbiebobbie, what command do you ned ?
[03:26] <ubuntu> so does anyone know how to configure irssi? like change my nick, and so on
[03:26] <arrow> ir2, did you try like a normal hdd? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive?highlight=%28hard%29%7C%28install%29%7C%28new%29
[03:26] <Starnestommy> ubuntu: /nick new-nickname
[03:26] <RyanPrior> Fezzler: If you want compositing but you want to be able to run games too, I suggest using compositing Metacity.
[03:26] <Maquiasfarano> yeah
[03:26] <Pelo> ubuntu, /nick newnick
[03:26]  * Alan_M is trying to flollow macogw, screens flying by....if i read you wrong sorry.
[03:26] <wobbiebobbie> my computer wont boot after downloading ubuntu studio
[03:26] <genii> RyanPrior: Also sudo does not know enough to leave config or resource files in the users ownership when exiting. Which can cause things not to run for them afterwards
[03:26] <ubuntu_> haha...yeah...
[03:26] <rycole> kindofabuzz: ive been looking at that, and i dont see how to check if the package is installed already.
[03:26] <foraoh> hi i have a quick question
[03:27] <Maquiasfarano> Fezzler, maybe it's a problem with Compiz switching resolutions... I don't know... just guessing...

[03:27] <foraoh> i want to make my foreground window borders look exactly like the background window borders, anyone know how can i do that?
[03:27] <macogw> hti_pro: yeah thats the other thing...thats freaky
[03:27] <RyanPrior> genii: Yup. The differences have been largely accounted for, making it wise to use the right launcher for the respective app types.
[03:27] <wobbiebobbie> have to reboot to tell yaw
[03:27] <macogw> hti_pro: 2GB is what stood out to me.  kernel sources are about 40MB

[03:28] <Starnestommy> Nertos_Ufa: is libgtk2.0-dev installed?
[03:28] <hti_pro> macogw: I downloaded it from the apt repository, do you know where i can get a standard ubuntu kernel without the libata driver
[03:28] <taq> does any know why flash won't show up in my firefox even though i installed "adobe shockwave" or whatever?
[03:28] <Nertos_Ufa> yes
[03:28] <macogw> hti_pro: no. i just know to get the pure kernel from kernel.org
[03:28] <Alan_M> macogw, im sorry..i read lastlog, and you are correct. *slaps hand*
[03:28] <ubuntu_> argh, it's getting it's error log all in my irssi!

[03:29] <MaxRide> I have a quick, stupid question.... I have a USB drive mounted, and the shortcut was placed on my desktop automatically.  I'm trying to rename it (It's currenly just 'disk') but it won't let me.  Am I doing it wrong?

[03:29] <bazhang> kelso78: disable those problem repos and try again after a refresh/reload
[03:29] <hti_pro> macogw: should I still use the ubuntu way of compiling the kernel into a .deb, or just follow standard kernel comp instructions

[03:40] <Zelta> actually, wait, nevermind, that is not the hard drive...
[03:40] <Zelta> it is not listing the External HD at all
[03:40] <Zelta> let me try to reboot
[03:40] <dmsuperman> Zelta: it's your drive that's probably labeled apps, does that trigger your memory?
[03:40] <Zelta> yes dmsuperman
[03:40] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to set firefox to do its own font rendering?
[03:40] <Zelta> that's why I recognized it's not it

[03:41] <cybojanek> I have a dual monitor setup, and whenever I play bzflag, it shows fulscreen on both. How can I tell it to play fulscreen only on one? (Windows disables one screen when playing games for examples and plays fulsscreen on only one).
[03:41] <bazhang> ir2 are you logged in as root?
[03:41] <ir2> no
[03:41] <ir2> how do i do that
[03:41] <ir2> i been asking forever
[03:41] <wobbiebobbie> type it one more time alan
[03:41] <Alan_M> "logged in as root" thats a dangerous question and command. bazhang :/
[03:41] <Pelo> ir2, to run a program as root you put sudo before the name ofthe command to start the program   as in sudo command
[03:42] <bazhang> ir2 open adept through the gui menu
[03:42] <wobbiebobbie> I can logon at cammand prompt
[03:42] <Pelo> ir2, you've been told at least 5 times just by me

[03:42] <jtisme> ir2  sudo su -   enter your password   your are now root!
[03:42] <ir2> yall have to be more specific
[03:42] <Pelo> ir2, sudo adept
[03:42] <bazhang> ir2 nay; you have to pay closer attention
[03:42] <Starnestommy> ir2: kdesu adept_manager
[03:42] <dmsuperman_> Alright
[03:43] <Alan_M> sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop would give you regular ubuntu...sudo aptitude remove ubuntustudio-desktop would remove the ubuntu studio modifications to the main ubuntu theme :)
[03:43] <dmsuperman_> I've got dmsuperman on CLI, and dmsuperman_ in GUI (just in case)
[03:43] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, youare in a decent irc client now ?
[03:43] <Alan_M> ^ that was for wobbiebobbie, sorry
[03:43] <dmsuperman_> aye
[03:43] <Fezzler> Turning off Desktop Effects didn't work.  Penguin Racer still locked up
[03:43] <Pelo> !dualhead > dmsuperman_  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu

[03:43] <dmsuperman_> yes
[03:44] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, was that the guide you used last time ?
[03:44] <Fezzler> LCD monitor switched to 800 x 600, pointer appears.  Locked up.  Nvidia GeForce FX 5500
[03:44] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, i HIGHLY suggest you do sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop BEFORE you remove ubuntustudio-desktop...things get VERY bad if you dont i believe.
[03:44] <dmsuperman_> no, i used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[03:44] <yao_ziyuan> by which way can i enjoy current releases of packages (e.g. pidgin 2.4.1 instead of 2.2.1) in ubuntu?
[03:44] <LadyNikon> !xen
[03:44] <ubotu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[03:44] <ir2> ok

[03:45] <bazhang> yao_ziyuan: get the deb
[03:45] <ir2> i need to install frostwire
[03:45] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, your quite welcome.
[03:45] <ir2> from adept manager
[03:45] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, ok use the one I just gave you , you shouldn'T have to paly around iwth drivers but you probably will have to edit xorg.  but since you made a backup you should be fine as long as you know how restore it manualy
[03:45] <Alan_M> !enter | ir2
[03:45] <ubotu> ir2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:45] <wobbiebobbie> Its working on it hope it works
[03:45] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: I know how to restore it. I don't see a guide on this page though?
[03:46] <dmsuperman_> Unless it's Using dual head with XFree86 ?
[03:46] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, im pretty sure it will the way i had you set it up
[03:46] <Pelo> ir2, frostwrie is not in adept , you dl it form the frostwire site, and you double click the pacakge , it will ask foryour password and it will intsall
[03:46] <wobbiebobbie> how do i reboot from command prompt
[03:46] <ir2> it shows up in adept when i type it in
[03:46] <dmsuperman_> wobbiebobbie shutdown -r i'd imagine
[03:46] <bazhang> !info frostwire
[03:46] <ubotu> Package frostwire does not exist in gutsy
[03:46] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, i think ctrl alt backspace works as well
[03:46] <bazhang> not in gutsy ir2
[03:47] <genii> yao_ziyuan: To make ubuntu use the lates deb versions available in it's repositories, create a file called apt.conf in directory /etc/apt and have it contain the line of:   APT::Default-Release "experimental";                     For more recent versions see if getdeb website contains them, or else compile from source.
[03:47] <dmsuperman_> Alan_M: That's just XServer
[03:47] <Pelo> dmsuperman_,  to restore your xorg.conf file     sudo cp /path/backupfilename /etc/X11/xorg.conf , that will copy your bacupfile over the xorg file already there ,
[03:47] <wobbiebobbie> got it
[03:47] <Alan_M> dmsuperman, oh, ok...
[03:47] <nickrud> genii there's an experimental repo for ubuntu ??!!
[03:47] <kelso78> well thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it
[03:47] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: Yeah, I know how to restore i'm just making sure that the guide you want me to follow is the link that says Using multiple monitors with XFree86 ?
[03:47] <bazhang> ir2 is this gutsy ubuntu or another ubuntu-based distro?
[03:47] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, let me know the results, i definately wanna know if this worked like planned :D
[03:48] <Creeture> Which package are the man pages for the C functions in? Like man syslog?
[03:48] <wobbiebobbie> I m rebooting
[03:48] <genii> nickrud: It's a debian-ism in the apt.conf but forces it to latest available and not just latest stable, as by default
[03:48] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, xfree86 and xorg are the same thing I beleive
[03:48] <Starnestommy> Creeture: I think it's manpages-dev
[03:48] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, ok :)
[03:49] <dragon33> hi, is there a gui app for ubuntu that displays an atomic clock, or can sync up with a time server.  thanks

[03:53] <Alan_M> wobbiebobbie, im not gonna pass you off, as pelo actually gave me the help i needed without asking ;)
[03:53] <Bogaurd> I have a drive which has 2 partitions of zero size... extended partitions /dev/sda3 & /dev/sda4. If i delete these with sfdisk, will the otherr partitions (/dev/sda5 etc) take their places?

[03:55] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, shifty ?
[03:56] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: It moves around as i put my cursor near the edge of it, and the monitor doesn't display the entire screen at any given time
[03:56] <marx2k> ok... this X refuses to go into anything but low-graphics mode and I cannot figure out why
[03:56] <marx2k> can anyone help me out?
[03:56] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, menu > system> prefs > appearance,   last tab , turn off the desktop effects
[03:56] <bazhang> res is too low then dmsuperman_
[03:56] <dmsuperman_> bazhang: my res is 1152 x 864
[03:56] <Pelo> marx2k, what is your video card ?
[03:57] <marx2k> Pelo: Nvidia GeForce 6200
[03:57] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: that's not it
[03:57] <Pelo> marx2k, menu > system > admin > restricted driver
[03:57] <marx2k> Pelo: I will try it.
[03:58] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, is your monitor one of those rectangular ones ?
[03:58] <bazhang> dmsuperman_: yet with that res cannot see whole screen? what szie monitor
[03:58] <marx2k> let's see...
[03:58] <wobbiebobbie> hey guys I m going to close this window thanks very very much  I just put a bunch of my grandson pictures on there ( can you say BACKUP) lol
[03:58] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: normal crt
[03:58] <dmsuperman_> bazhang: 19" crt
[03:58] <dmsuperman_> no clue why this happens :s
[03:58] <Ravenkin> Just updated to Ubuntu 8.04 beta and I lost sound, any suggestions?
[03:58] <Bogaurd> I have a drive which has 2 partitions of zero size... extended partitions /dev/sda3 & /dev/sda4. If i delete these with sfdisk, will the otherr partitions (/dev/sda5 etc) take their places?
[03:58] <bazhang> dmsuperman_: is that the max allowed?
[03:58] <nickrud> #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1 Ravenkin
[03:59] <dmsuperman_> bazhang i think it can do 1280 x 1024 but that's too small for me to see
[03:59] <Ravenkin> nickrud thanks
[03:59] <marx2k> What I hate about this also is that since X keeps going into failsafe mode, my Xorg log doesnt tell me what the issue is
[03:59] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, are you sure that rez is a proper ratio ?
[03:59] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: Yes, I use it all the time on these monitors
[03:59] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: They've been running 1152 x 864 for years, it's a 4:3 normal ratio
[03:59] <nickrud> Bogaurd yes, the partitions will get re-identified, that's why ubuntu is using UUID's in /etc/fstab and at least trying in grub
[03:59] <Zimmy2> hello, question regarding the gparted contained within the installer
[03:59] <dmsuperman_> it's something like 10 or 15% larger than 1024 x 768
[04:00] <Bogaurd> nickrud, okay, cool. that's what I wanted :)
[04:00] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, k I don'T know abouthat one I'm afraid,  maybe you can try going down to 1024x768 for a test
[04:00] <marx2k> Pelo: restricted driver installed. Restarting computer.
[04:00] <Pelo> marx2k, best of luck
[04:00] <Zimmy2> I don't know if I'm in the right channel, but I'm having a hard time resizing my Win32 partition on my SATA hard disk
[04:00] <marx2k> Pelo: :)
[04:00] <Zimmy2> I need to keep this data, any help?
[04:00] <dmsuperman_> k, i have to logoff
[04:00] <nickrud> Zimmy2 is this vista?
[04:00] <dmsuperman_> brb
[04:00] <marx2k> I am forever having issues with my NVidia cards
[04:00] <bazhang> Zimmy2: with ubuntu?
[04:00] <Daisuke_Ido> marx2k, it could be worse, it could be ATI
[04:01] <Pelo> Zimmy2, boot windows defrag a couple of times to make sure it is all nice and neat then use the live cd to do it
[04:01] <Zimmy2> nickrud: no, with winxp, bazhang, ubuntu gusty
[04:01] <marx2k> Daisuke_Ido: Dont even joke about that  ;)\
[04:01] <Daisuke_Ido> marx2k, how did you install the drivers?
[04:01] <marx2k> Ah damn! fsck kicked in due to 30 mounts... argh now I have to wait
[04:01] <Pelo> marx2k, nvidia aren't playing nice with the linux community
[04:01]  * nickrud has noticed that ati seems to be having much fewer issues recently
[04:01] <Zimmy2> Pelo, I'll try that, but I should note to mention, a few days ago I did another instal on my laptop with the same issues
[04:01] <dmsuperman_> nope
[04:01] <dmsuperman_> logged off
[04:01] <dmsuperman_> and on
[04:01] <dmsuperman_> and i have dual monitor
[04:01] <FloodBot1> dmsuperman_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:01] <dmsuperman_> but both screens are shifty
[04:01] <Pelo> nickrud, amd/ati have discovered that linux is their freind
[04:02] <marx2k> Daisuke_Ido: Well I dont even remember anymore since Ive had the NVidia closed drivers on here, the legacy drivers, the glx-new as well as non-new on here so it's been kind of a mess
[04:02] <bazhang> also amd is close to bankruptcy
[04:02] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, but you have both monitors working now ?
[04:02] <nickrud> Zimmy2 you really should get a backup somehow, if you're having problems with resizing. Safety first
[04:02] <Daisuke_Ido> nickrud, even xgl improved a lot, i went to get desktop effects working on a friend's laptop, radeon mobility x1100, worked like a charm
[04:02] <Alan_M> fsck is slow and boring marx2k, but, it serves a very good purpose :D
[04:02] <marx2k> Pelo: Looks like it's still gone to low-graphics mode..
[04:02] <nickrud> Pelo yeah, I didn't have very high hopes to begin with
[04:02] <Daisuke_Ido> bazhang, you think completely opening the graphics architecture is a last ditch effort?
[04:02] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: both are on, but both do the shift thing. and both of them have refresh rates that are much higher than i usually use
[04:03] <bazhang> Daisuke_Ido: aye have to think so (sorry for offtopic)
[04:03] <peepsalot> i need to know what is causing all this hard drive activity on my computer
[04:03] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: And I can't select any other refresh rate. one has 87hz and the other has 75. I use 60hz normally
[04:03] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, now you edit your xorg.conf and change the refresh rate,  the value is horiz sync I belive
[04:03]  * nickrud goes off to watch jon stewart, bbl
[04:03] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, make sure you get the corect one s, back upyoru xorg fist
[04:03] <marx2k> Pelo: When it goes into Low-graphics failsafe mode, which log files should I check? Because Xorg.0.log does not show any errors
[04:04] <Pelo> marx2k,   now open synaptic ,   search for nvidia settings
[04:04] <marx2k> nvidia-settings is installed
[04:04] <Pelo> marx2k, start ti and change the rez then
[04:04] <TerrorBite> I have a question about gpm
[04:04] <marx2k> Xorg.0.log.old mentions that it Failed to initialize the GLX module
[04:04] <Daisuke_Ido> gnomes per minute?
[04:04] <Pelo> marx2k, why do you say it is in safe mode, does it say safe mode anywhere ?
[04:05] <TerrorBite> I can move the mouse on the virtual console, but can't click anything
[04:05] <Pelo> marx2k,  I think nvidia needs aiglx or smeting  that bit confuses me
[04:05] <marx2k> Pelo: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"
[04:05] <TerrorBite> Daisuke_Ido: it's the mouse emulator for virtual terminals
[04:05] <bkovacs> What is the best application to use in Ubuntu to do borderless printing.
[04:05] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: I have 2 monitor sections. One says Section "monitor" # and the other says Section "Monitor". The one with the hash comes last
[04:05] <Pelo> marx2k, check the restricted driver thign again
[04:05] <Pelo> marx2k, it is possibly that you will need the binairy driver ,
[04:06] <Daisuke_Ido> hmm...  never toyed with it.  would make aptitude a joy to use though
[04:06] <marx2k> I have the most current binary driver downloaded from NVidia. Should I try installing it do you think?
[04:06] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, the one with the # is probably the second monitor,  the other one being the first monitor you had on when you started
[04:06] <Pelo> marx2k, yes
[04:06] <dmsuperman_> alright, both have:	Horizsync	30-70
[04:06] <dmsuperman_> 	Vertrefresh	50-180
[04:06] <marx2k> Pelo: Ok, trying
[04:06] <dmsuperman_> Should I just change that to Horizsync 60 ?
[04:06] <dmsuperman_> and leave the Vertrefresh alone?
[04:07] <xzi11a> will there ever be an upgrade plan for ubuntu 6.06 lts that doesnt involve going through 6.10, for example, going directly to 8.04 LTS ?
[04:07] <Zelta> yes
[04:07] <Zelta> there is
[04:07] <bazhang> yes xzi11a
[04:07] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, it's usualy the horizsync one tha tneeds changing , match them to the h value at the back of hte monitors,   usualy you make sure that the higher end of the range is just above or at the value of the monitor lable
[04:07] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, if you get me
[04:07] <dmsuperman_> are you sure it's not Vertrefresh that is the refresh rate? because right now the refreshes are 75hz, which is outside the given range 30-70
[04:07] <danuel> hi all.  I need some help!
[04:07] <Pelo> xzi11a, you will be able to upgrade to 8.04 directly ,
[04:08] <xzi11a> Zelta: got a link wrt that? i've been digging around and cant find anything
[04:08] <Pelo> danuel, we need actual questions
[04:08] <WillieDaPimp> I just bought some blank dvds and tried to write to them and i keep getting >>  :-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h]: Wrong medium type  :-( media is not formatted or unsupported.  :-( write failed: Wrong medium type  <<
[04:08] <Zelta> xzi11a: Once 8.04 comes out in the final release I believe it'll let you do it as an update
[04:08] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: alright, restarting xserver then
[04:08] <Pelo> xzi11a, wait until the 24th ,  the new lts comes out you'll be able to upgrade then
[04:08] <danuel> How do I make ubuntu look like Mac!  Silly, but I have a friend I'm trying to convince to switch!
[04:08] <marx2k> Hm... before installing the NVidia binary driverm I typed 'startx' for shits and giggless and it's telling me "Error: API Mismatch: This NVIDIA driver component has version 100.14.19 but the NVIDIA kernel module version does not match."

[04:09] <sunnybg> hi. i'm trying to install 7.10 on very slow machine :), and the live cd has problems displaying the desktop. but I can switch to terminal (CtrlAlt-F1). How can I invoke a text based installer from there?
[04:09] <marx2k> So... What should I do do you think?
[04:09] <genii> WillieDaPimp: You probably have bought dvd +R or +RW when your writer cannot use them
[04:09] <danuel> Excellent.  thanks.
[04:09] <dmsuperman_> alright, the horiz is set
[04:09] <dmsuperman_> only problem is
[04:09] <orudie> how can i open this file gamei386.so.gz ?
[04:09] <dmsuperman_> the screen still shifts
[04:09] <bkovacs> What is the best application to use in Ubuntu to do borderless printing
[04:10] <Pelo> sunnybg, you need the alternate install cd or the dvd ,  and if the comp is old you might consider  xubuntu , it is a bit lighter
[04:10] <Netham45> "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" < does anyone know how to fix this? Ubuntu Gutsy on an x86 processor
[04:10] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, pleas don't use the enter key for punctuation
[04:10] <marx2k> so what do I do if the NVidia kernel modules do not match?
[04:10] <neur0n> how do i find out which hard drive is sda1, sdb1, sdc1, etc?
[04:10] <marx2k> kernel module versions, rather?
[04:10] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: Alright, but do you have a clue about why it shifts around?
[04:11] <marx2k> Basically... how do I start anew and try installing nvidia-glx-new again?
[04:11] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, ok at this point I'm gonna send you to the forum,  don't post search ,   try other keywords then shift , the dualhead might be an issue if your single monitor didn'T do that before
[04:11] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: I think once we can get the monitors to display it properly it will work
[04:11] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, www.ubuntuforums.org
[04:11] <neo2nix> hello room
[04:11] <WillieDaPimp> genii, heh, no ...... i'm not that new to this...... my writer can handle it, it has plenty times before
[04:12] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, will you be fine on your own ? I'd like to get to bed now
[04:12] <Zelta> pretty much ever writer ever made can handle +R/+RW
[04:12] <neo2nix> Will some teach me!?
[04:12] <Zelta> because the -R specification was made after +R
[04:12] <neo2nix> someone*

[04:13] <neo2nix> i just wanna chat on and about linux
[04:13] <dmsuperman_> Pelo: I suppose i'll just have to figure it out

[04:14] <Pelo> dmsuperman_, you are there almost,   the shifty thing is probably a minor issue,  there ,s proably a fix in there someonwe
[04:14] <NoTownKasper> neo2nix: You're in the tech support channel right now, everyone here is either here to ask a specific question, or to answer them. :P
[04:14] <dmsuperman_> So does anyone else know why my screen moves around? My monitor can more than handle the resolution, however when my mouse gets to the edge of the screen it moves the entire screen
[04:15] <TerrorBite> well, I have a specific question
[04:15] <neo2nix> NoTownKasper, thank you for the input
[04:15] <Pelo> sunnybg,sorry no idea,  just get the alternate cd , trust me ,easier, and get xubuntu , lighter

[04:15] <TerrorBite> I'm having difficulty enabling mouse support in the virtual consoles
[04:15] <WillieDaPimp> genii, no it is a single layer 4.3 GB iso file and i'm writing on 4.7GB DVD-R discs
[04:15] <tonyyarusso> TerrorBite: you've installed gpm?
[04:15] <dmsuperman_> Essentially my monitor is acting as a window into my desktop, and the window only sees 2/3 of the full desktop, but i can move the window around. I want to know how to just expand the window so it shows the whole screen
[04:16] <neo2nix> etard id10ts that ...
[04:16] <neo2nix> well thats just life @ work
[04:16] <ady> Rehxa
[04:17] <ady> nick Rehxa

[04:17] <neo2nix> anyhow,.. i wanna learn *nix.  i figure that ubintu is a good as place as any to start @
[04:17] <dan__> hey, mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist

[04:17] <Netham45> or... was that just a typo? :P
[04:17] <NoTownKasper> Speaking of questions, here's my latest. So I themed my whole gui practically, to work with the 'overglossed' color theme from Gnome-look. Splash screens...cursors, everything. But, when I boot, after the gdm themed login, there's about a 3 second spot, while the gnome splash is telling me everything's loading...that's still the bright orangish barf-color and even the system>Administration>login window>local setting to change back
[04:18] <dan__> anyone know?
[04:18] <neo2nix> What is the channal for noobs wanting to learn the ins and outs of ubuntu?
[04:19] <NoTownKasper> neo2nix:  Probably #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:19] <neo2nix> well, heck.. im on ubuntu nw
[04:19] <neo2nix> cool thanx
[04:19] <TerrorBite> neo2nix: you'd be better off either following a web tutorial. Or see if you can locate a local Linux Users Group, and attend their meetings
[04:20] <cyclonut> can anyone recommend a command-line conky equivalent?
[04:20] <jtisme> dan_ did you just insert the CD say within the last 2-3 minutes
[04:20] <zeeeee> cyclonut, i use htop
[04:20] <zeeeee> it's not as rich
[04:21] <zeeeee> there's also dstat

[04:21] <Randocal> I think I have a compiz element running that is making my PC run much slower.... but I don't know what key combo I might have pressed.... is there a way i can see which compiz plugins are currently running?
[04:21] <zeeeee> but that's also limited
[04:22] <dmsuperman_> nobody has a clue why my screen moves around/
[04:22] <cyclonut> zeeeee: thanks for the recommendation :)
[04:22] <TerrorBite> Randocal: I had the same issue, I think it was the "Reflections" plugin that was causing issues
[04:22] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: moves around how?/
[04:22] <Randocal> i don't even have a checkmark for reflection in my advanced settings.....
[04:22] <dmsuperman_> When I put my mouse to the edge of the screen it shifts around
[04:22] <rycole> hey guys, is there a way to see what files a certain package contains with apt-get?
[04:22] <dmsuperman_> and doesn't display the entire screen
[04:22] <Zelta> rycole: Type "man apt-get"
[04:23] <Randocal> i was cycling through several of the plugins showing my wife how they work.... basically i was showing off. And I think there was one that i turned on, but didn't turn off aftewards
[04:23] <Co_sby> JuliEnE
[04:23] <MrKeuner> hi, can I log vino connections(any attempts) somehow?
[04:23] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: that means your X server is configured to have a larger "virtual" screen size, than your physical screen size
[04:23] <jtisme> rycole,   dpkg  --search  package_name
[04:23] <jtisme> if the package is installed
[04:23] <cyclonut> htop is very cool
[04:23] <dmsuperman_> My monitors can handle up to 1280 x 1024, but my xserver config is only using 1152 x 864
[04:23] <dan__> is there currently a bug in Gutsy Ubuntu with Cdroms?
[04:24] <jtisme> dan_ no
[04:24] <dmsuperman_> TerrorBite: It's a fairly basic xorg.conf, i haven't changed much. would you mind taking a look at it for me?
[04:24] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: sure, could you pastebin it please
[04:24] <dan__> You know why I wouldn't be able to mount the CDrom then?
[04:24] <jtisme> dan_ did you insert a CD in the last 5 minutes?
[04:25] <dan__> yeah
[04:25] <dan__> It's not working since I just rebooted
[04:25] <jtisme> dan_ then   tail  /var/log/messages and see if it was recognized by the system

[04:26] <neur0n> whats the command to unmount
[04:26] <dmsuperman_> umount -a
[04:26] <neur0n> ty
[04:26] <dmsuperman_> run as sudo though
[04:26] <genii> neur0n: I would not run that command just suggested
[04:27] <neur0n> i mounted two drives in different places. i need to unmount the second one i mounted by accident
[04:27] <dan__> daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ tail  /var/log/message
[04:27] <dan__> tail: cannot open `/var/log/message' for reading: No such file or directory
[04:27] <genii> neur0n: the -a switch means "all" which will unmount all things except possibly root (/)
[04:27] <Juzzy`> neur0n sudo umount /dev/hdb etc or whichever hard drive
[04:28] <neur0n> genii: i tried umount /dev/sdb1 /media/shared but didnt work
[04:28] <dmsuperman_> neur0n: yeah, i thought too far ahead
[04:28] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: Section "Screen", Subsection "Display". Virtual 1400    1050
[04:28] <neur0n> but i have sdb1 mounted in 2 places
[04:28] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: try removing that line
[04:28] <genii> neur0n: For umount you need only the mountpoint
[04:28] <jtisme> dan_ sorry  /var/log/messages
[04:28] <Alan_M> dmsuperman, you trying to kill the guys pc? heh
[04:28] <dmsuperman_> Odd
[04:28] <mofo> hi
[04:28] <dmsuperman_> Alan_M worst case scenario he would run mount -a to remount them
[04:28] <genii> neur0n: eg: umount /media/shared              possibly sudo needed in this case
[04:29] <dmsuperman_> it only unmounts if they aren't being used
[04:29] <marshall> is it possible to have a voice chat conversation over aMSN? if so, how?
[04:29] <dmsuperman_> and i wasn't thinking straight
[04:29] <Alan_M> dmsuperman, true :)
[04:29] <dan__> it doesn't say anything about CDrom activity
[04:29] <mofo> i have a mount problem -- 7.10 on client and server,
[04:29] <dmsuperman_> TerrorBite: Alright, odd that it put that in there
[04:29] <dmsuperman_> TerrorBite: I'll brb
[04:29] <mixed> hey is youtube really slow today?
[04:29] <Juzzy`> My Shared Folders in Shared Folders in Applications -> System has disappeared, how do i get it back so I can share folders again (Mythbuntu 8.04b)
[04:29] <dan__> mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
[04:29] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman_: sure
[04:29] <neur0n> umount: /media/Shared mount disagrees with the fstab
[04:29] <NoTownKasper> When I boot, after the gdm themed login, there's about a 3 second spot, while the gnome splash is telling me everything's loading...that's still the bright orangish barf-color and even the system>Administration>login window>local setting to change background colors, hasn't fixed it. Any suggestions?
[04:29] <mofo> sudo mount 10.10.10.4:/media/storage /home/mofo/Desktop/server
[04:30] <jtisme> dan_ does it have anything like  /dev/sdaX
[04:30] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: This is my other nick, in irssi
[04:30] <mofo> is the command i use and it "used" to work
[04:30] <dmsuperman> i just logged on
[04:30] <genii> neur0n: You have 2 things mounted to same dir?
[04:30] <dmsuperman> it didn't change anything
[04:30] <jtisme> dan_  /dev/sdNA
[04:30] <neur0n> genii: not on the same dir
[04:30] <Juzzy`> mofo sudo mount //10.10.10.4/blah
[04:30] <dan__> http://pastebin.com/m58bbc864
[04:31] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: And even the logon screen has a large virtual screen
[04:31] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: Do you think a total reboot would fix it?
[04:31] <Juzzy`> mofo did that work?
[04:31] <mofo> nope, same error
[04:31] <Juzzy`> what error?
[04:32] <mofo> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //10.10.10.4/media/storage,
[04:32] <mofo>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[04:32] <mofo>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[04:32] <mofo>        dmesg | tail  or so
[04:32] <FloodBot1> mofo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:32] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: I'm in irssi myself. usually all you have to do is reboot the X server
[04:32] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: I did, ctrl + alt + backspace
[04:32] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: odd
[04:32] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: Even the logon screen had the large virtual screen
[04:33] <mofo> i tryed the dmesg, but noting pertinent about mount
[04:33] <AgentHeX> i'm trying to compile a package, but it's written for 32-bit processor.  it uses things like casting pointers to integers and back, so i have to compile it for i686 or something, but when i tried changing the CFLAGS in the makefile to include -march=i686, i get an error that the CPU selected does not support x86-64 instruction set.  how can i compile the package for 32-bit?
[04:33] <Juzzy`> mofo sudo mount //192.168.0.11/share /media/share/
[04:33] <Juzzy`> thats what i did and it worked :/
[04:33] <dan__> is there strictly a help channel?
[04:33] <dan__> or is this is?
[04:33] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: perhaps add in a new virtual line, that matches your actual physical size
[04:33] <Juzzy`> dan__ this is it.. just be patient
[04:33] <TerrorBite> dan__: iswhay?
[04:33] <TerrorBite> t
[04:33] <jtisme> dan_  see if you have  /dev/scd0
[04:33] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: alright
[04:34] <jtisme> dan_  ls -l /dev/scd0
[04:34] <NoTownKasper> Only problem with patience, some of us need our problems solved asap. :P
[04:34] <mofo> nope, same error
[04:34] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: I could do with a Virtual screen myself, I'm at 800x480
[04:34] <Juzzy`> NoTownKasper then buy support from canonical
[04:34] <genii> neur0n: Please pastebin output of: mount
[04:34] <Juzzy`> This is all volunteer help
[04:34] <genii> bah, left
[04:34] <mofo> i double checked my exports file, all is well, and restarted the nfs server
[04:34] <NoTownKasper> I refuse to pay for something that -should- be offered free. :P
[04:35] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: It bugs the crap out of me :P
[04:35] <NoTownKasper> Besides, I'm not in a hurry this time, so it's no bother.
[04:35] <Juzzy`> lol NoTownKasper the o/s is developed for free, distributed for free and you want support for free
[04:35] <Juzzy`> nice
[04:35] <mofo> still no luck
[04:35] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: it ca be annoying, especially when you have a big enough screen
[04:35] <NoTownKasper> Now you're getting it Juzzy` :D
[04:35] <TerrorBite> dmsuperman: but a 7" 800x480 is not "big enough"
[04:35] <rycole> anyone know if apt-get has a package with apache's apr_dbd_mysql module in it?
[04:36] <Juzzy`> mofo unfortunately my knowledge is also limited, just have to wait till someone with better mount knowledge comes along
[04:36] <rycole> the newest apache, 2.2.8 comes with it
[04:36] <mofo> ok, i thank you for the quick responses
[04:36] <Juzzy`> I try ;)
[04:36] <NoTownKasper> When I boot, after the gdm themed login, there's about a 3 second spot, while the gnome splash is telling me everything's loading...that's still the bright orangish barf-color and even the system>Administration>login window>local setting to change background colors, hasn't fixed it. Any suggestions?
[04:36] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: I LOVE YOU
[04:36] <Juzzy`> I'm actually here to get help as well, but I try and fix the small issues where I can
[04:36] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: and haha, yeah
[04:36] <lucian> how do i upgrade to 8.04 using apt?
[04:36] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: I keep finding 19" CRTs for free, so i keep em and find a use
[04:37] <Midtronic> howdy, There's this really awesume feature (a package to find, I'm guessing) I have on GG but not HH - my tab completion is a lot more "powerful" in GG -- apt-cache search <tab> shows any package that fits the match
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> lucian: #ubuntu+1
[04:37] <rycole> does anyone know when apt-get will be updated to download Apache 2.2.8?
[04:37] <usser> NoTownKasper, thats an annoying as far as i know theres no way to get rid of it
[04:37] <dmsuperman> TerrorBite: Using 2 for my desktop, took one to work to have triple monitor
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> rycole: 2.2.8 is in Hardy right now.
[04:37] <NoTownKasper> usser: You're kidding...right?
[04:37] <dan__> where would the scd0 be?
[04:37] <usser> NoTownKasper, not really, i've been looking all over for a fix never found one!

[04:38] <Juzzy`> lucian http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227052 <- follow this guide but you want to go from gutsy to hardy

[04:39] <jtisme> dan_ and you CD is in the drive
[04:39] <rycole> aww, man. lol. i'm using slicehost, and they don't have Hardy, yet.
[04:39] <rycole> :\
[04:39] <TooR4u> ny ideas of transcoding video to audio format?
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> rycole: of course not - it's not suitable for production environments.
[04:39] <Flannel> rycole: Well, Hardys still beta.  I wouldn't expect them to.
[04:39] <wapko> NoTownKasper: look here. i believe this is what you asked for. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745869
[04:39] <dan__> yes, cd is in drive
[04:39] <rycole> oh, ok.
[04:39] <usser> TooR4u, you mean extracting the audio track from video file?
[04:39] <jtisme> dan_ ls /dev/cdrom  is it there
[04:39] <rycole> so the only option is to compile it myself, then
[04:39] <TooR4u> usser, yes
[04:40] <dan__> ls: /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory
[04:40] <TooR4u> usser, I am using audacity for that .. but not working fine ..
[04:40] <jtisme> dan_ how many physical hard drives do you have
[04:40] <dan__> 2
[04:40] <usser> TooR4u, you can try ffmpeg its a command line tool but its really powerful
[04:40] <dan__> one is Sata though
[04:41] <TooR4u> yup .. I heard about that .... (what is the command ..?)

[04:43] <usser> TooR4u, here go here and add the appropriate repository https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[04:43] <neur0n> in fstab
[04:43] <Joe3> neur0n: right to do what?
[04:43] <TooR4u> usser, okey .. lemme see
[04:43] <neur0n> Joe3: to auto mount on start up. its not working
[04:43] <usser> TooR4u, after that you'll get access to a whole bunch of multimedia programs that werent included in ubuntu for various legal reasons
[04:43] <nickrud> neur0n no, you don't specify the partition type (ntfs, ext3 etc)
[04:44] <Joe3> automount external?
[04:44] <neur0n> internal
[04:44] <neur0n> internal HD
[04:44] <genii> neur0n: Specify filetype
[04:44] <neur0n> ntfs
[04:44] <nickrud> neur0n goes before the rw,...
[04:44] <Joe3> neur0n: /dev/sdc1   /media/shared    ntfs     ..................    0     0
[04:44] <Joe3> (where ................ is what you have before ;))
[04:45] <genii> neur0n: I mean put filesystem type in that line. Like between /media/Shared and rw,etc,etc
[04:45] <neur0n> Joe3: nickrud genii: thanks. will reboot to test
[04:45] <Joe3> so luck on finding someone who knows a bit about the ALSA applied to a Toshiba laptop?
[04:45] <nickrud> neur0n only need to do sudo mount -a , no reboot necessary
[04:45] <nickrud> late again
[04:45] <jtisme> dan_  hold on

[04:52] <rycole> so, apt-get will not have apache 2.2.8 on it, until you upgrade to hardy?
[04:52] <wapko> NoTownKasper: not sure. thin you need the xsetroot cmd to actually set the bg image
[04:52] <bidget_> um well I think dan_ might have also been someone else
[04:52] <TooR4u> usser, trying from 2 hours

[04:55] <Fyda> lxuser: Ctrl+W would most likely be hardcoded into some apps; there doesn't seem to be a central setting for it as a "close window" shortcut.
[04:55] <jtisme> dan_  good, now   vi  /tmp/aa
[04:55] <genii> rycole: Ask ubotu in private: !info apache2 gutsy            or !info apache2 hardy     to see what versions are available in each

[04:56] <nickrud> rycole release philosophy is once a release is frozen, it keeps the same version and only gets bug & security fixes. The idea is stability

[04:57] <Fyda> lxuser: Is that running natively, or under Wine?
[04:57] <bidget> Juzzy`: I followed a guide earlier but I'm running into some problems and its not working properly
[04:57] <jarry> rycole: But supporting their blocks from gaining such knowledge, by promoting them to keep where they are with it, seems to be more of the imperial promotion than forcing them to learn -- at least in the latter, you acknowledge their autodidactic abilities. :)
[04:57] <bidget> Juzzy`: cool I'll try that one thanks
[04:57] <Technoviking> how do you close a msg in irssi
[04:57] <jarry> Fyda: bleh, i'm lazy :p
[04:57] <lxuser> native fyda
[04:57] <Ububegin> Joe3: thanks will try it now
[04:57] <jtisme> dan_  ok  i dont know  kate I never use it  hold on
[04:57] <Fyda> Technoviking: /wc or /window close
[04:57] <Joe3> ububegin: when you do alterations you just do "export as pdf" don't do save because it saves in a journal type format
[04:57] <rycole> jarry: i have no idea what you tried to say. lol. :P
[04:57] <Fyda> Technoviking: If you do that in a window where you're connected to a channel, it'll also part the channel...
[04:57] <Technoviking> Fyda: thanks
[04:58] <jarry> rycole: I kow Y=you a:0 have to up the email landed in junk foldeer? .  Some repellent character, I imagin e
[04:58] <Juzzy`> bidget that one worked for me .. but in the games (tf2) it was screwing up fonts so i added -dxlevel 81 to the command line for each game and it fixed it
[04:58] <Fyda> lxuser: I don't know then, sorry.
[04:58] <jtisme> dan_ do you know how to use  the  kde  editor  kate
[04:58] <nickrud> jarry very odd line there
[04:58] <jarry> Juzzy`: CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); Am I missing something cythrawll?
[04:58] <lxuser> fyda, thanks anyway
[04:58] <bidget> Juzzy`: ok cool
[04:58] <bidget> Juzzy`: thanks
[04:58] <Juzzy`> jarry I wouldn't have a clue :/ I'm not a programmer
[04:59] <bidget> Juzzy`: oh hey one other question though
[04:59] <Juzzy`> yup
[04:59] <rycole> nickrud, oh, so would it be possible for me to update to the beta version of hardy without reformatting?
[04:59] <SitUbuntuSit> !Codecs

[04:59] <bidget> Juzzy`: a new version of wine came out, how do I update to it?
[04:59] <Juzzy`> it should update when update-manager gives you updates afaik :/
[04:59] <Joe3> rycole: yes there is but I wouldn't recommend it....just reformat and clean things up ;)
[04:59] <nickrud> rycole yes, /j #ubuntu+1 for instructions and the current state
[04:59] <jtisme> dan_ do u know how to use the  kate  editor
[04:59] <Juzzy`> I've never been a big wine user except for steam
[04:59] <bidget> Juzzy`: ah ok so I guess whenever the update manager tells me
[04:59] <damo23> bidget, cross between budgie and midget
[04:59] <dan__> jtisme: I'm a linux nub
[04:59] <Juzzy`> bidget should do
[04:59] <dan__> jtisme: I'll try what ever though
[04:59] <bidget> no damo23 its a bald midget actually :D
[04:59] <Joe3> dan__: we were all there atone point ;)
[04:59] <SitUbuntuSit> bidget, it might take some time to make it into the ubuntu repos
[04:59] <Ububegin> Joe3: so u just have to export it everytime u make changes... Cool
[05:00] <bidget> SitUbuntuSit: ah ok
[05:00] <rycole> Joe3:  it's on a virtual private server... i don't really have the choice to install hardy :P
[05:00] <TooR4u> usser, it is not working .. (Unsupported codec for output stream #0)
[05:00] <bidget> SitUbuntuSit: so it should eventually just update automatically then
[05:00] <Juzzy`> LOL SitUbuntuSit I love the name
[05:00] <jtisme> dan_  ok   execute   kate  /tmp/aa   and tell me what happens
[05:00] <usser> TooR4u, hang on 1 sec
[05:00] <wapko> NoTownKasper: i dont think you can use regular images with the xsetroot cmd.. i think were out of luck
[05:00] <mm> hi
[05:00] <NoTownKasper> Bah.
[05:00] <Juzzy`> bidget yeah as long as you installed wine through the repos it will auto updaet
[05:00] <Joe3> I have to brag about this a bit, I was able to install Hardy on a system in 6 minute 10 seconds, from beginning to end ;)
[05:00] <nickrud> rycole lots of people do that, upgrade virtuals
[05:00] <NoTownKasper> wapko: Well, thanks for checking on it.
[05:00] <mm> الوووو
[05:00] <wapko> seems the only "bitmap" you can use is a 2 color one
[05:00] <usser> TooR4u, did u install lame?
[05:00] <mm> هل هنا احد عربي
[05:00] <mm> ؟
[05:00] <SitUbuntuSit> Good dog, ruff! Um, bidget, I like to wait for them to be included, but you could download from their site.
[05:00] <Juzzy`> Joe3 how?!?
[05:01] <TooR4u> usser, yup
[05:01] <Joe3> flash install :)
[05:01] <Juzzy`> oh
[05:01] <Juzzy`> nice
[05:01] <mm> جميل
[05:01] <mm> هع هع
[05:01] <Juzzy`> So from CDrom to flash?
[05:01] <Joe3> I carry it around and use it as a live distro on campus
[05:01] <bidget> yeah I tried downloading it from their site but it didnt work
[05:01] <Joe3> nope, hard drive to flash
[05:01] <dan__> jtisme: open session, or new session?
[05:01] <Juzzy`> oh
[05:01] <bidget> plus it was in some tar.gz so that confused me lol
[05:01] <Juzzy`> bidget yeah I hate installing from tar.gz
[05:01] <NoTownKasper> wapko: Ok, since I'm here, and it's my last question, any idea where I can find an elephant-blue style GDM theme? lol
[05:01] <Juzzy`> apt-get is so much easier :P
[05:01] <jtisme> dan_ try new session
[05:01] <SitUbuntuSit> !Arabic | mm
[05:01] <ubotu> mm: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa
[05:02] <Juzzy`> I'm not sure but I don't think things installed from a .tar.gz auto update
[05:02] <mm> id
[05:02] <usser> TooR4u, ok try dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg it should say medibuntu next to all ffmpeg packages
[05:02] <bidget> see the problem with all these guides are
[05:02] <wapko> have you tried gnome-look.org or any of the other . only place i know :P
[05:02] <dan__> jtisme: I'll brb
[05:02] <bidget> they just tell you how to install them, but they dont tell you what to do if it doesnt work
[05:02] <bidget> any idiot can figure out how to install it lol
[05:02] <Joe3> bidget: sorry what are you trying to install it?
[05:02] <Juzzy`> bidget that what error messages and google are for
[05:02] <Juzzy`> :P
[05:02] <bidget> there is no error message
[05:02] <bidget> thats the problem
[05:02] <NoTownKasper> Yeah...even googled around for a couple hours. Anything to keep from havng to mess with xml.
[05:02] <Juzzy`> heh
[05:02] <Seq_> I'm using xrandr to enable an external monitor on my laptop. How do I make the laptop's LCD keep the menu (it moves to the external when I enable it)
[05:03] <NoTownKasper> Oh well, it's not important.
[05:03] <bidget> there is no error message, it just says connecting to steam
[05:03] <NoTownKasper> thanks for the help wapko.
[05:03] <bidget> then the window disappears and I have nothing
[05:03] <mindguru08> Hey Everyone
[05:03] <bidget> joe3 Im trying to install steam
[05:03] <bidget> well actually, Im trying to run steam
[05:03] <bidget> its already installed
[05:03] <FloodBot1> bidget: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:03] <TooR4u> usser, yaa .. it is listing all installed packages
[05:04] <mm> هل يوجد احد يتكلم اللغه العربيه
[05:04] <mindguru08> i am on gOS and I just installed this IRC chat app.
[05:04] <usser> TooR4u, they all have medibuntu right?
[05:04] <Joe3> !Arabic mm
[05:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about arabic mm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:04] <mm> ^_^
[05:04] <Juzzy`> bidget .. run wine steam.exe from a console window... then you'll seee more info
[05:04] <nickrud> !arabic | mm
[05:04] <ubotu> mm: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa
[05:04] <bidget> I did do it from a console
[05:04] <jtisme> dan_ it is past midnight here and I need to check out
[05:04] <Juzzy`> steam spits out all kinda info into the console
[05:04] <SitUbuntuSit> Nickrud, I've sent there already... oh well.
[05:04] <bidget> yeah
[05:04] <bidget> theres a lot of fixme: stuff
[05:05] <SitUbuntuSit> *him
[05:05] <prakriti> is there a script that will regen menu.lst?
[05:05] <nickrud> SitUbuntuSit I saw that, he might have missed it: pidgin doesn't highlight
[05:05] <TooR4u> usser, http://pastebin.ca/979200
[05:05] <bidget> although the reason it might not have worked was cause I didnt have gecko although wine said it would install it automatically
[05:05] <bidget> I'll try it again
[05:05] <Seq_> prakriti: `sudo update-grub`
[05:05] <prakriti> tyvm
[05:05] <CK_MY> how to convert all movie file to dvd ?
[05:05] <Juzzy`> bidget run wine iexplore.exe
[05:05] <usser> TooR4u, no these are no good, they are standard
[05:05] <SitUbuntuSit> nickrud, oh, wow, I don't know how people use a chat, or even terminal, for IRC when it's crazy like this.
[05:05] <bidget> Juzzy`: ok
[05:05] <Juzzy`> it'll open up ie and it'll force install of gecko
[05:06] <bidget> Juzzy`: ok cool
[05:06] <TooR4u> usser, Hmmm ..
[05:06] <usser> TooR4u, are you sure u added medibuntu repository? what ubuntu u running gutsy?
[05:06] <bidget> ah yes it is installing now
[05:06] <Juzzy`> steam probably can't run without gecko cause it uses it for the browsing window
[05:06] <Juzzy`> which is the first page to open iirc
[05:06] <bidget> ah I see
[05:07] <bidget> well I got the tahoma.ttf thing but I guess I neglected the gecko
[05:07] <TooR4u> usser, not yet ..I haven't added that .. Because i have already installed ffmpeg .. (now i will)
[05:07] <Juzzy`> yeah
[05:07] <Juzzy`> bidget that guide has it all
[05:07] <b4l74z4r> how do i delete old kernels in synaptic, do i search for image, headers or modules?
[05:07] <CK_MY> any good convertor from any file type to dvd ?
[05:07] <mm>  /links
[05:07] <nickrud> b4l74z4r all :)
[05:07] <usser> TooR4u, should have done that first cause standard ffmpeg doesnt have mp3 encoding
[05:07] <Quintin> What is best image format to use for qemu ?
[05:08] <TooR4u> ohhh ..
[05:08] <Joe3> b4l74: yeah just search linux headers in synaptic
[05:08] <nickrud> b4l74z4r at the very least, image-2.6.xx-xx and the matching modules, and you might as well clear the headers as well
[05:08] <Juzzy`> wtf 13:38:00 * FloodBot1 sets mode: +e speme!i=94e99f3a@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-96f3c2f7e080b508
[05:08] <b4l74z4r> nickrud: are those 3 all of the kernel related stuff i should delete or are there more?
[05:09] <nickrud> b4l74z4r lets see:  image, headers, restricted-modules, module-backport iirc
[05:09] <b4l74z4r> is there any function to automatically remove all that?
[05:09] <MrKeuner> hi, can I log vino connections(any attempts) somehow?
[05:10] <Joe3> b4: not that I know of, I have thought that someone should make it though ;)
[05:10] <nickrud> b4l74z4r just double checked:  headers image restricted-modules backports-modules ubuntu-modules are the kernel packages I have
[05:10] <bidget> ok here's a question
[05:10] <bidget> if I move the .wine folder
[05:11] <bidget> will wine still work?
[05:11] <usser> bidget, yes it will recreate .wine
[05:11] <nickrud> bidget no, wine expects to find that folder
[05:11] <Joe3> bidget: from my understanding it should ;)
[05:11] <b4l74z4r> nickrud: ok, thanks alot
[05:11] <bidget> crap
[05:11] <bidget> so is that a yes or no hahaha
[05:11] <TooR4u> usser, Now i have added that repository
[05:11] <neo2nix> Are the iptables for ubuntu pre-configured for the highest security?
[05:11] <Joe3> haha try it and if it doesn't, copy it back ;)
[05:11] <Fyda> bidget: Hmm, I'd have thought that some files to do with the wine registry would be stored there?
[05:11] <Randocal> This might be completely the wrong place to ask this... but here we go anyways =) If I hook a HDMI/DVI cable up between my Ubuntu machine (has an ATI X1600 pro in it) and my 50" plasma, will the video card properly detect the resolution that my plasma is capable of and offer me the full setting in my screen resolutions settings?
[05:11] <harriseldon> bidget: there is an environment variable called WINEPREFIX where you can override the location of .wine
[05:11] <littlepinkdot> No one in #apache is helping me so wondering if anyone here has experience with it. I just clean compiled Apache2.2.8 and when going to the server ip/fqdn I get a Access Denied, the error log shows: (13)Permission denied: /home/ron-apache/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess  file, ensure it is readable
[05:11] <Joe3> there is no registry in linux
[05:11] <nickrud> bidget your previous wine install won't work, but will create a new blank one
[05:11] <usser> bidget, well its going to "create" a new windows "installation" if it doesnt find one
[05:12] <bidget> well basically here's my problem... I made my home partition like 15gb and my system partition like 35gb cause I thought that I would be installing applications and things into the system partition
[05:12] <damo23> Randocal: no harm in trying is there?
[05:12] <usser> TooR4u, yea now do sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame
[05:12] <bidget> but now I find out that everything installs to my home directory, and it isnt quite big enough
[05:12] <TooR4u> usser, okey
[05:12] <Fyda> littlepinkdot: Check the file permission?
[05:12] <Joe3> bidget: use gparted to make it a little bigger
[05:12] <nickrud> bidget did you see the line from harriseldon above?
[05:12] <bidget> harriseldon: thank you!
[05:12] <Juzzy`> Yeah you can change the wine dir in options iirc
[05:12] <Randocal> damo23: I don't own a dvi/hdmi converting cable yet.... was hoping to dig up some answers before dishing out the cash
[05:12] <Randocal> =)
[05:12] <nickrud> harriseldon nice plagarized nick, by the way ;)
[05:12] <usser> bidget, alternatively you can create a directory in /opt called say windows
[05:13] <bidget> ah ok
[05:13] <Juzzy`> bidget or you can symlink :P
[05:13] <harriseldon> nickrud: I think my spelling is wrong, or so I have been told
[05:13] <damo23> Randocal: you might have to hack your xorg.conf to get the right res, but i dont see why it wouldnt work
[05:13] <nickrud> one two many r's I think
[05:13] <bidget> so where is this WINEPREFIX variable?
[05:13] <usser> bidget, change owner of it to youreslf and create a symbolic link from .wine to /opt/windows
[05:13] <Juzzy`> yeah then you can put your wine dir wherever you want
[05:13] <bidget> usser: thats kinda complicated and Im a noob I think I will try the wineprefix and just move the .wine folder into / or something
[05:13] <usser> bidget, resizing would more complex
[05:14] <usser> bidget, ok here goes
[05:14] <Juzzy`> symlinks are easy, hell i figured it out :P
[05:14] <usser> bidget, sudo su
[05:14] <Randocal> I"m pretty newbish..... when you say "hack my xorg.conf" are you actually meaning "create a modeline"?
[05:14] <usser>  bidget, mkdir /opt/windows
[05:14] <bidget> well Im not going to bother resizing Im just going to move the .wine folder and tell wine where it is
[05:14] <AgentHeX> why?  WHY?  WHY GOD WHY?  *cries*
[05:14] <bidget> ok
[05:14] <damo23> Randocal: adding WxH to the options
[05:14] <bidget> just a question
[05:14] <nickrud> usser next time, suggest sudo -i (stays within the ubuntu security policy, and preferred here)
[05:14] <bidget> what is opt?
[05:14] <usser> bidget, chown -R <yourusername>:<yourusername> /opt/windows
[05:15] <usser> nickrud, ops my bad
[05:15] <usser> bidget, then exit
[05:15] <bidget> k hold on you're getting ahead of me lol
[05:15] <bidget> 1 sec
[05:15] <trianjar> hai
[05:15] <usser> bidget, cd ~
[05:15] <harriseldon> bidget: opt is a folder usually designed for binary only packages. It is just a naming convention and could be any location
[05:15] <usser> bidget, ln -s /opt/windows
[05:15] <usser> bidget, mv windows .wine
[05:15] <irqp> broadcom irq ihttp://rafb.net/p/Ue2IcG21.html ssue
[05:15] <b4l74z4r> nickrud: is there a search string that all the kernel related stuff have in common so that i can easily find all the stuff that should be removed?
[05:16] <usser> bidget, err before mv windows .wine make sure u renamed/moved existing .wine
[05:16] <bidget> ah ok
[05:16] <usser> bidget, take your time
[05:16] <bidget> umm whoa whoa
[05:16] <irqp> http://rafb.net/p/Ue2IcG21.html i am having lockups with this wifi bcm43xx on hp dv8000z
[05:16] <Quintin> nickrud: sudo -i ?
[05:16] <bidget> well the whole point of me moving the .wine folder is because I am running out of space on my home partition
[05:16] <nickrud> b4l74z4r yes, the kernel version number, like  dpkg -l | grep 2.6.22 | grep ^ii  will show all installed stuff related to kernel version 2.6.22
[05:16] <bidget> so usser could I not just move the .wine folder into my system partition and then tell wine where to find it?
[05:17] <usser> bidget, thats what we're basically doing
[05:17] <bidget> usser oh ok
[05:17] <bidget> usser hahaha
[05:17] <usser> bidget, its the simplest way to do really
[05:17] <bidget> usser ok so I've changed the ownership
[05:17] <b4l74z4r> nickrud: thanks again
[05:17] <bidget> usser: so now I have to move my .wine folder? or something?
[05:17] <usser> bidget, wait now
[05:17] <usser> bidget, yea
[05:17] <TooR4u> usser, i have uninstalled the current version of ffmpeg & lame packages ... and reinstalled them .. but giving same error ( I have observed that there is no change in dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg)
[05:18] <bidget> usser: ok so where should I move it to then? and should I exit steam before I move it
[05:18] <usser> bidget, so cp -R ~/.wine/* /opt/windows
[05:18] <m0zone> is there a way to populate the gnome menu with all installed programs aka kappfinder   i googled for last 15 mins not found a thing
[05:18] <usser> bidget, yes you should close steam
[05:18] <bidget> usser: ok one sec...
[05:18] <usser> TooR4u, hm strange did u do sudo apt-get update after adding a repo?
[05:18] <trianjar> hai
[05:19] <TooR4u> usser, oops .. sorry i forgot that
[05:19] <bidget> ok its copying
[05:19] <nickrud> m0zone you can install the packages  menu menu-xdg  and you will have a new menu folder, debian. Shows just about every little toy you got
[05:19] <bidget> ya know the more I use linux the better it seems to get
[05:20] <usser> bidget, nice, so after its done just do rm -rf ~/.wine and triple check the command before you enter it
[05:20] <bidget> hey now Ive seen this rm -rf before
[05:20] <usser> bidget, thats how it works not only that you'll learn more about computers in general
[05:20] <Fyda> bidget: Be quite sure that everything has been copied
[05:20] <shane_> trouble displaying the bottom of the screen in Firfox
[05:20] <nickrud> bidget in context it's a safe command, just type it exactly ;)
[05:20] <shane_> any fixex, other reports?
[05:20] <bidget> ehh ok
[05:20] <bidget> ah I see
[05:21] <bidget> its rm -rf / thats the dangerous one right
[05:21] <bidget> but we're doing ~./wine
[05:21] <nickrud> bidget yes, and a lot of other places
[05:21] <usser> didymo, precisely :P
[05:21] <shane_> Toshiba Satelite
[05:21] <shane_> Satellite
[05:21] <shane_> A30
[05:21] <bidget> ok so question before I delete the .wine folder
[05:21] <Fyda> bidget: basically, "rm -rf foo" translates to "remove foo, all subdirectories in it, and don't prompt before deleting protected files among these files"
[05:21] <usser> TooR4u, ok so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[05:22] <bidget> usser: I went to /opt
[05:22] <bidget> usser: and there is just a windows folder in there... shouldn't the .wine folder be there?
[05:22] <usser> bidget, aha
[05:22] <bidget> ?
[05:23] <usser> bidget, no you copied the contents of .wine to windows open windows it should look exactly like insides of your .wine
[05:23] <nickrud>  bidget try ls -a /opt , you'll probably see .wine
[05:23] <bidget> ohh ok
[05:23] <Fyda> bidget: No, because the command he told you to use was "cp -R ~/.wine/* /opt/windows" -- that means everything under .wine was copied over under /opt/windows.
[05:23] <bidget> usser: yeah its in there never mind
[05:23] <bidget> yeah I get it now
[05:23] <usser> bidget, kk cool
[05:23] <bidget> for some reason I was thinking it would copy the entire folder not just the contents
[05:23] <usser> bidget, one last thing cd ~
[05:23] <SitUbuntuSit> !menureset
[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about menureset - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[05:23] <bidget> right

[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about menu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-panel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:24] <usser> bidget, navigate to ~/.wine it should have all the same files as before but now they are located in /opt/windows
[05:25] <bidget> oh but I deleted .wine
[05:25] <nickrud> bidget mv in this case works like rename
[05:26] <bidget> I see ok
[05:26] <bidget> but wait a sec
[05:26] <bidget> agh Im confused
[05:26] <bidget> ohhhhhh!!! I GET IT
[05:26] <bidget> LOL
[05:26] <usser> btw how do you create a named link?
[05:26] <FloodBot1> bidget: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:26] <nickrud> usser   ln -s target destination , like  ln -s /opt/windows ~/.wine
[05:26] <TooR4u> usser, Hmmm ... sorry dude . same error ..I think this is the problem (W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A278)
[05:27] <TooR4u> error while updating ...
[05:27] <usser> nickrud, oh that works huh
[05:27] <bidget> so what I did was made a link (which is actually a folder) and then just renamed the folder
[05:27] <usser> TooR4u, make sure you did that command wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
[05:27] <harriseldon> bidget: yes, ln is like a windows shortcut on steroids
[05:28] <bidget> harriseldon: yep! :D thanks everyone
[05:28] <b4l74z4r> should i also remove old restricted modules that shows up when i search for "2.6.24"?
[05:28] <usser> bidget, no problem
[05:29] <orange_> how can i let things automaticly start with ubuntu after login ?
[05:29] <hti_pro> has anyone recompiled a kernel for ubuntu
[05:29] <usser> TooR4u, so how is it?
[05:29] <dmsuperman> guys, where are the mysql databse file stored at?
[05:29] <Alan_M> b4l74z4r, wouldnt hurt i dont think
[05:29] <harriseldon> orange_ what type of things? desktop things or command line things?
[05:30] <titin> #aceh
[05:30] <orange_> desktop
[05:30] <orange_> terminal things not jet
[05:30] <harriseldon> orange_ put them in ~/.bashrc
[05:31] <dmsuperman> does anybody know where the mysql db files are located?
[05:31] <bidget> ok so one last question before I find something new to ask questions about
[05:31] <bidget> I start steam from a terminal window, but once steam has started, is it ok to close the terminal?
[05:31] <bidget> or will that close the whole thing
[05:31] <usser> bidget, no this will close the whole thing
[05:31] <harriseldon> orange_ .bashrc is run for both graphical and command line sessions
[05:31] <bidget> oh hmm
[05:31] <Fyda> bidget: what's the command you use in terminal to start steam?
[05:31] <harriseldon> orange_ if you want it to startup even if you are not logged in, you can use a cron job
[05:31] <usser> bidget, put & at the end of the command this detaches it from terminal
[05:31] <bidget> wine steam.exe
[05:32] <titin> hii
[05:32] <Fyda> bidget: you could probably add an ampersand to the end (&) and that'd background it
[05:32] <dmsuperman> noooobody knows where mysql db files are located?
[05:32] <bidget> gotcha
[05:32] <levander> bidget: Stuff like that, just try it and see.
[05:32] <bidget> well eventually I will just make a script so I can have like a quicklaunch shortcut type deal, I can do that, right?
[05:32] <orange_> thnx harriseldon
[05:32] <harriseldon> orange_ yw
[05:32] <hti_pro> bidget: is this a steam server or client
[05:32] <bidget> client
[05:33] <Fyda> bidget: Yes, and if you're launching it with a launcher icon instead of in a terminal, you wouldn't really need the &
[05:33] <levander> usser: & doesn't detach things from the terminal, it just puts them in the backgroup, nohup detaches things from the terminal
[05:33] <donkey7186> Im having a problem someone please help me!!! how do i tell what type of model my screen is? i have  laptop!!!!!
[05:33] <bidget> it depends on the brand of laptop donkey
[05:33] <rootlinuxusr> shouldn't
[05:33] <usser> levander, oh... yea. Remember hearing about nohup, my bad
[05:33] <bidget> it shouldn't??
[05:34] <hti_pro> donkey7186: disassemble the display, even with the model number of the laptop it could vary greatly
[05:34] <rootlinuxusr> either go through the system settings or type ...crap what's the command
[05:34] <rootlinuxusr> there's a way
[05:34] <rootlinuxusr> what kind of laptop do you have?
[05:34] <donkey7186> how do i disassemble the display???
[05:34] <hti_pro> donkey7186: their will be mfg. info on the back of the display
[05:34] <rootlinuxusr> screwdriver.
[05:34] <donkey7186> hti_pro
[05:34] <levander> usser: and, xtoolwait does something similar for gui applications that nohup does for processes that don't have a gui
[05:34] <hti_pro> donkey7186: there are usually screws underneath the little rubber bumpers
[05:35] <TooR4u> usser, http://pastebin.ca/979216
[05:35] <Alan_M> guys, lets not go into disassembling, that gets scary for a new user.....i have no other suggestions though..so...uh..yeah
[05:35] <donkey7186> hti_pro this is the problem. i put a external monitor on and then it messed everything up when i took it off
[05:35] <TooR4u> usser, I did like what u said
[05:35] <rootlinuxusr> what's your make/model and we can google around?
[05:35] <Alan_M> rootlinuxusr, good choice :)
[05:36] <Fyda> donkey7186: Can you describe what you mean by "messed up everything"?
[05:36] <rootlinuxusr> Captain Google, he's our hero, gonna take Windows users down to zero?
[05:36] <hti_pro> donkey7186: have you tried the Fn+F4 key...  I think that is the combo, it should have a pic of a display on the F4 key
[05:36] <usser> TooR4u, the command is ok its your ffmpeg that is messed up, its not medibuntu version so it doesnt have mp3 support
[05:36] <donkey7186> fyda when i restart it shows a pixelated screen
[05:36] <hti_pro> donkey7186: that should allow you to switch between crt and lcd
[05:36] <usser> TooR4u, enter this command wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
[05:37] <usser> TooR4u, and sudo apt-get install ffmpeg lame
[05:37] <donkey7186> hti_pro mine is f7 and it doesnt work for some reason
[05:37] <b4l74z4r> ok, i chose to completely remove an old image and synaptic automatically highlighted some other stuff for removal, is it safe to select complete removal for the stuff synaptic selected for removal?
[05:37] <usser> TooR4u, after that dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg and pastebin it
[05:37] <hti_pro> donkey7168: the screen is pixelated during the text part of bootup
[05:37] <donkey7186> fyda and also it says i cannot use any visual styles ( such as cube and all (compiz))
[05:38] <Fyda> donkey7186: "pixellated" meaning, the resolution is smaller than the actual physical resolution of the LCD panel, so it looks big and blocky?
[05:38]  * Alan_M sits down backwards in my chair scratching my head looking at donkey7186
[05:38] <usser> TooR4u, oh and -ab is specified in thousands so -ab 128000 or in your case -ab 320000
[05:38] <Alan_M> i fix computers for a living, and im stumped :/
[05:38] <donkey7186> fyda no it has like a part black screen and part has green and white. and it has small boxes
[05:38] <trianjar> #mojokerto
[05:38] <HaitianMidnight> does anyone know if there is any progress being made with ATI Drivers, xserver, and Opengl flickering problem
[05:38] <TooR4u> usser, ohh 1min
[05:39] <hti_pro> donkey7168: have you tried reconnecting the crt and try rebooting??  and if so does the crt still work
[05:39] <bidget> I made a script for running steam, is it possible to change the icon to like the steam icon or something?
[05:39] <neur0n> so it's been a while since ive used compiz. last time i did it was still beryl. i just installed linux with compiz..howcome my windows dont have shadows now? =[
[05:39] <Alan_M> donkey7186, let me get this right, your trying to dual screen your box?
[05:40] <Fyda> bidget: you made a script file, and then a launcher icon? you could look at the launcher icon's properties (right-click, then edit Properties) and click on the current icon in the dialog that appears.
[05:40] <bidget> Fyda: I didnt make a launcher icon or anything I just made the .sh file
[05:40] <Fyda> bidget: Oh, well, .sh files don't have icons
[05:40] <TooR4u> usser, same error  after updating and changing the bitrate:( (http://pastebin.ca/979219)
[05:40] <bidget> oh
[05:40] <Fyda> bidget: but launchers do :P
[05:40] <bidget> Fyda: how do I make a launcher then haha
[05:40] <trianjar> hai
[05:41] <Fyda> bidget: well, you could make one on the desktop; right-click, add a launcher...
[05:41] <bidget> oh
[05:41] <donkey7186> alan_m no im now just trying to fix my problem i had a dual screen. i took it off to take the laptop to school and now it has a wierd screen come on, my computer now doesnt let me use any visual effects either
[05:41] <usser> TooR4u, aarrg i see whats the problem
[05:41] <Alan_M> oh, ok sorry donkey7186 was just trying to figure things out from the beginning.
[05:41] <bidget> ok so how do I tell the launcher to cd to .wine and then wine steam.exe?
[05:42] <TooR4u> usser, Hmm .. :(
[05:42] <utarpradesh> how do i link my currently playing song to my away message in pidgin?
[05:42] <harriseldon> donkey7186: do you have an nvidia card? did you use nvidia-settings to configure the multiple monitors?
[05:42] <utarpradesh> like itunes does to the osx chat program
[05:42] <Fyda> utarpradesh: There's probably a plugin for Pidgin that would do this; Google would know.
[05:42] <usser> TooR4u, ffmpeg was using old standard libraries update them
[05:43] <bidget> lol
[05:43] <bidget> google would know...
[05:43] <usser> TooR4u, sudo apt-get install libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d libswscale1d
[05:43] <donkey7186> harriseldon i have an intel graphics thing
[05:43] <Fyda> bidget: You'd be surprised how much Google knows  and how much it's willing to share ;)
[05:43] <usser> TooR4u, that is strange it should've pulled them automatically
[05:43] <Alan_M> donkey7186, can we try doing something like restarting xserver to see if that helps out?
[05:43] <donkey7186> xserver?
[05:43] <usser> TooR4u, but oh well do that command above and u should be set
[05:43] <TooR4u> usser, yahh
[05:43] <donkey7186> alan_m xserver?
[05:44] <HaitianMidnight> is there a workaround that would allow me to use compiz, and opengl apps without flickering
[05:44] <Alan_M> donkey7186, its the X windows system server, its basically what runs everything you see.
[05:44] <b4l74z4r> what exactly is header files?
[05:44] <TooR4u> okey ..
[05:44] <donkey7186> how do i restart it
[05:45] <trollboy> anyone here in SoCal?
[05:45] <TooR4u> usser, Hee .. workingggggggggggggg dude
[05:45] <usser> TooR4u, hows it looking?
[05:45] <Stroganoff> HaitianMidnight, have you tried DefaultDepth 16?
[05:45] <utarpradesh> i can't find the plugin
[05:45] <harriseldon> donkey7186: You can use ctrl-alt-backspace to restart x. Last resort is always sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver That will completely replace the xorg.conf file.
[05:45] <TooR4u> usser, thaks dude
[05:45] <Alan_M> harriseldon, thanks again. heh
[05:45] <donkey7186> what will it do if i did that?
[05:45] <TooR4u> usser, u r awsome ...
[05:45] <usser> TooR4u, nice so there you go, btw you may wanna look at parameters of input stream in your case bitrate of movies sound was 128
[05:45] <node357> isn't that xserver-xorg ?
[05:46] <usser> TooR4u, so theres no reason to set output to 320 its not gonna make a difference
[05:46] <Alan_M> donkey, hopefully give you something to work with, like...maybe a desktop ;)
[05:46] <donkey7186> harriseldon what will that do? will it erase anything on my hard drive
[05:46] <usser> TooR4u, i do what i can :)
[05:46] <harriseldon> node357: you are probably right
[05:46] <mindguru08> Where could I go to learn to work this better?
[05:46] <harriseldon> node357: my mind works faster than my fingers. lol
[05:46] <node357> lol
[05:46] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me with partimaged ?
[05:46] <harriseldon> donkey7186: make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[05:47] <Alan_M> donkey7186, no, i would NEVER give a user something that would delete critical things on a computer, its against my Code of Conduct as an ubuntu helper or "ubuntero" and beginner team member....
[05:47] <BestNicholas> Check out my ad! http://atlanta.craigslist.org/ele/636894612.html Don't flag me!
[05:47] <donkey7186> alan_m no what?
[05:47] <donkey7186> harriseldon how do i get there?
[05:47] <Alan_M> donkey7186, no it wont screw up things
[05:47] <BestNicholas> Check out my ad! http://atlanta.craigslist.org/ele/636894612.html Don't flag me!
[05:48] <donkey7186> alan_m so how do i get to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:48] <hti_pro> donkey7186: is it just the X-windows that is not displaying right or is the text mode part of the boot pixelated as well
[05:48] <charles|64> hey folks is there a way to adjust my fan speeds while running?
[05:48] <HaitianMidnight> exactly how do you change the depth of xserver
[05:48] <TooR4u> usser, can i do private chat?
[05:48] <Alan_M> wow, guys were throwing 5 different things at donkey, im getting confused also.
[05:48] <usser> TooR4u, im not registered create a channel i'll join
[05:48] <donkey7186> hti_pro its when i logon and when i try to run effects it doesnt work
[05:48] <Alan_M> can someone at least show him something right without giving 4 options, but only 1? thanks :)
[05:48] <harriseldon> donkey7186: you can do it from a terminal or use the run dialog in Gnome: alt-f2 and type sudo nautilus
[05:48] <Fyda> donkey7186: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is a shortcut to kill the currently running X server. Usually it will also automatically restart. Of course you should make sure you don't have unsaved data before doing this.
[05:49] <hti_pro> donkey7168: i would recommend booting with the livecd, and copy the Xorg.conf file from the running livecd to the /etc/X11 on the hard drive and try rebooting.  That should give you a good config
[05:49] <TooR4u> usser, /join #ubuntu-ap
[05:49] <Alan_M> donkey7186, sorry man, im trying not to confuse you...thats getting hard with all the options here heh
[05:49] <harriseldon> hti_pro: that's a good idea
[05:50] <Stroganoff> charles|64: sudo pwmconfig
[05:50] <Fyda> donkey7186: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server", as harriseldon told you, would re-do the configuration process for the X server, and in the process it would overwrite your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, so you might want to make a backup of that file before running it.
[05:50] <StevenX> Hello guys. Can anyone point me to the best make-ubuntu-look-like-osx howto?
[05:50] <hti_pro> donkey7168: are you comfortable with the command line
[05:50] <Alan_M> donkey7186, how long have you been using ubuntu?
[05:50] <Fyda> !best | StevenX
[05:50] <ubotu> StevenX: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[05:50] <donkey7186> alan_m maybe 2 months
[05:51] <Alan_M> donkey7186, and..how many times have you touched the command line or terminal?
[05:51] <Fyda> StevenX: I'm sure Google knows, there would certainly be guides around for that
[05:51] <Stroganoff> StevenX: http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11
[05:51] <bidget> uh oh
[05:51] <donkey7186> alan_m maybe 5 times
[05:51]  * Alan_M is trying to get a general idea of what to do..the easiest and safest route.
[05:51] <bidget> help
[05:51] <bidget> lol
[05:51] <charles|64> hey folks is there a way to adjust my fan speeds while running?
[05:51] <Stroganoff> charles|64: sudo pwmconfig
[05:51] <donkey7186> Alan_m how can i save that file on my desktop????
[05:51] <usser> bidget, whats up
[05:51] <bidget> umm
[05:51] <StevenX> thank you all. i will try those suggestiong
[05:51] <bidget> for some reason... seemingly out of nowhere....
[05:52] <bidget> umm shit what are they called...
[05:52] <bidget> like you know above your window you can see the X and the minimize button and stuff
[05:52] <Alan_M> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /home/yourusername/Desktop/Xorgcopy.conf
[05:52] <bidget> and it will say the name of the window
[05:52] <usser> bidget, borders?
[05:52] <bidget> all of that just disappeared
[05:52] <bidget> yeah I guess that would be a good word for it haha
[05:52] <usser> bidget, did u start compiz?
[05:52] <Alan_M> type this in a terminal donkey7186
[05:52] <usser> bidget, were u running compiz?
[05:52] <bidget> well Ive had compiz set up for a while now
[05:53] <usser> bidget, ok compiz crashed
[05:53] <bidget> I see
[05:53]  * Alan_M knows ill have to get em to change the name, im most certainly aware, wait up guys :)
[05:53] <usser> bidget, ALT+F2
[05:53] <bidget> but I still have a desktop cube and stuff
[05:53] <hti_pro> bidget: nautilus is not running, you can restart X and it should fix it
[05:53] <usser> bidget, compiz --replace
[05:53] <Stroganoff> charles|64 do you read me?
[05:53] <bidget> alt+f2 didnt seem to do anything...
[05:53] <usser> bidget, should pop up a run command dialog
[05:53] <bidget> hti_pro: what is nautilus?
[05:54] <rootlinuxusr> file navigator
[05:54] <rootlinuxusr> i think.
[05:54] <usser> bidget, do u have an open terminal somewhere? can u open one?
[05:54] <hti_pro> bidget: ubuntus window manager....also a file manager
[05:54] <bidget> yeah sure I'll open a terminal
[05:54] <bidget> everything is working fine its just I have no borders anymore
[05:54] <hti_pro> bidget: you can run nautilus from the command line, but you'll be left with an open terminal window
[05:54] <bidget> hmm
[05:55] <bidget> what if I put & at the end
[05:55] <hti_pro> bidget: if you close the window it will still terminate
[05:55] <bidget> usser: if alt+f2 doesnt work what can I type into the command line so that it will work?
[05:55] <litius> hey guys, did anybody upgraded their Ubuntu to "the next release" with keeping Beryl on it (not new Compiz), any issues?
[05:55] <bidget> ah ok I thought the & thing would solve that oh well
[05:55] <usser> bidget, compiz --replace & should do it
[05:55] <bidget> ok
[05:56] <hti_pro> bidget: as someone mentioned earlier that only backgrounds the process
[05:56] <bidget> ah there we go
[05:56] <bidget> that fixed it
[05:56] <Alan_M> litius, thats kinda OffTopic and a hardy discussion, so..yeah
[05:56] <bidget> uh oh I closed the terminal and the borders disappeared again
[05:56] <hti_pro> bidget: did you use compiz --replace or nautilus
[05:56] <prathibha> I get a problem in volume control. "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." This is the message I got when I clicked the volume control icon.
[05:56] <litius> why is it offtopic
[05:56] <usser> bidget, sigh... did u compiz --replace &
[05:56] <prathibha> Can anyone help me to solve this problem
[05:57] <rootlinuxusr> it means your sound device isn't being found
[05:57] <usser> prathibha, what soundcard you have?
[05:57] <hti_pro> usser: even if you background it when you close the terminal it will kill it
[05:57] <StevenX> where in Ubuntu do I go to install a .emerald theme?
[05:57] <Alan_M> litius, were still supporting Gutsy in here, we havent gone to hardy yet, because its not release to the GP (general public)
[05:57] <usser> hti_pro, oh really
[05:57] <Fyda> usser: Yes, that can be the case
[05:58] <rootlinuxusr> I got the same thing, and found some resource that made it work
[05:58] <Fyda> Ummm.
[05:58] <DGFT> !ops
[05:58] <ubotu> Help! Channel emergency!

[05:58] <litius> so, I take it "nobody upgraded their Ubuntu to "the next release" with keeping Beryl on it (not new Compiz) or had no issues?"
[05:58] <hti_pro> usser: because it is like a new login session, when the session ends any processes owned by that session/user will also be killed
[05:58] <q_a_z_steve> can't seem to get partimaged to talk to my client computer... Any ideas? Please?
[05:59] <hti_pro> usser: i don't have much experience with compiz, but i had the same prob and it was nautilus crashing
[05:59] <Amaranth> litius: Why would you want to keep beryl?
[05:59] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[05:59] <Fyda> litius: Probably almost nobody, because you should be using Compiz, not Beryl.
[05:59] <bidget> well that was scary
[05:59] <hti_pro> does anyone have any experience compiling ubuntu kernels
[05:59] <usser> bidget, u didnt see a half of it yet
[05:59] <bidget> lol
[06:00] <usser> bidget, but anyway do that compiz --replace in terminal
[06:00] <Alan_M> no need to get the users all freaked out, nothing big, daily thing in here pretty much hehe
[06:00] <bidget> well I had to reboot so its fixed now
[06:00] <usser> bidget, after its up try ALT+F2
[06:00] <bidget> but I somehow managed to exit gnome and go to a command line
[06:00] <bidget> so I had to log in again, then I tried startx but it told me that it was already running or something
[06:00] <usser> bidget, probably pressed CTRL+f2 maybe?
[06:00] <StevenX> where in Ubuntu do I go to install a .emerald theme?
[06:00] <bidget> yeah probably
[06:01] <bidget> so I just hit ctrl+alt+del and restarted haha
[06:01] <hti_pro> bidget: thats exactly what i was gonna recommend
[06:01] <Fyda> usser: to elaborate: backgrounding a process means if you enter "exit", it'll auto-disown the process before closing the terminal. But if you close the terminal by clicking the Close button, that would still kill the process.
[06:01] <bidget> yeah
[06:01] <bidget> well it worked anyway hahaha
[06:01] <usser> bidget, linux has 8 or so virtual consoles that u can switch between using CTRL+F# in ubuntu CTRL+f7 brings back your x server
[06:01] <bidget> oh ok cool
[06:01] <bidget> uh oh
[06:01] <bidget> steam had a fatal error
[06:02] <Alan_M> great, bots down :/
[06:02] <hti_pro> usser bidget: but if you are in X you have to hit ctrl+alt+Fn
[06:02] <usser> Fyda, why does it matter how u close the terminal if the process is in the background?
[06:02] <hti_pro> bidget: are you running steam client or server
[06:02] <bidget> what is Fn?
[06:02] <Fyda> usser: Because backgrounding != disowning, they are 2 separate concepts
[06:02] <bidget> client
[06:02] <orudie> how can i rename a file in teriminal ?
[06:02] <Alan_M> bidget, short for function
[06:02]  * cherry eyes christel
[06:02] <bidget> but I just got it working, I ran it in a terminal and it worked again
[06:02] <Stroganoff> bidget Fn means F1-F12
[06:02] <bidget> ah ok
[06:03] <hti_pro> bidget: f1,f2,f3.....
[06:03] <bidget> yep
[06:03] <Fyda> usser: and it's just a property of the bash shell that it auto-disowns on exit; if you use another shell, such as zsh, then typing "exit" without disowning a running process would give you a warning about unfinished jobs.
[06:03] <Alan_M> orudie, i believe its rn originalfile newfilename
[06:03] <hti_pro> bidget: does it run well, I have not had alot of luck performance wise with wine
[06:03] <usser> Fyda, hm... hm i never had faced a problem like that and i just did compiz --replace & and it didnt go into background for some reason probably why it terminated when terminal is closed
[06:03] <Alan_M> not RM...but RN
[06:04] <hti_pro> bidget: even simple non-graphic progs run slow
[06:04] <usser> Fyda, oh i see
[06:04] <usser> Fyda, right right
[06:04] <Alan_M> but..lowercase orudie
[06:04] <bidget> well I am just downloading installing the games
[06:04] <bidget> so that will take a while, but I'll let you know how it runs
[06:04] <usser> Fyda, like if u ssh and want the process to stay in background u'd use nohup pc &
[06:04] <bidget> so far it has run perfectly, all the menus and stuff work
[06:04] <orudie> Alan_M, The program 'rn' can be found in the following packages:

[06:19] <Netham45> http://www.speedtest.net/result/255644303.png
[06:19] <Netham45> that's what I get when I'm not downloading a bunch of crap
[06:19] <Juzzy`> Netham45 thats similar to mine
[06:19] <bidget> nice
[06:19] <Juzzy`> But i'm on ADSL2+
[06:19] <bidget> I didnt know comcast was that fast
[06:20] <usser> another_life, go to system->preferences->keyboard->layout
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> Mikeisadumbname: you really should be more specific in your questions.
[06:20] <Stroganoff> braydon619 backports is an official repository an includes all dependencies of the new amsn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/amsn
[06:20] <Stroganoff> braydon619: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[06:20] <usser> another_life, and a greece layout
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> !wifi | Mikeisadumbname
[06:20] <Netham45> !ask | Mikeisadumbname
[06:20] <Stroganoff> braydon619: the alternative would be to just upgrade to hardy.
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> doh, no bot
[06:20] <Netham45> oh yea, no bot.
[06:20] <Mikeisadumbname> In that case, I have a new linksys wireless card that appears to work, in that it sees networks, but it hangs on connecting.
[06:20] <Netham45> !ask | Mikeisadumbname
[06:20] <bidget> when does hardy come out?
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> bidget: tentatively the 24th.
[06:21]  * Netham45 pokes ubotu 
[06:21] <bidget> Im going to wait until its not beta anymore
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> Netham45: It takes about five minutes to sync everything - let it do its thing.
[06:21] <Netham45> tonyyarusso, ok.
[06:21] <Netham45> >.<
[06:21] <Mikeisadumbname> No amount of fidgeting in KDE on my part seemed to fix that, so I was recommended to try Ubuntu.
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> except when it does that again..
[06:21] <Six_Digits> anyone wanna take a shot at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749573
[06:21] <another_life> usser,  yeah.. did that... do i need to set the keys with which i select the other language? cause i want english as default...
[06:21] <Mikeisadumbname> I have very little Gnome experience, so here I am.
[06:21] <Mikeisadumbname> I'm wired in right now, but that's temporary.

[06:22] <Netham45> mneptok, no bot.
[06:22] <Mikeisadumbname> I'm having the same problem where I pick up all the networks around, but can't connect no matter what I try.
[06:22] <usser> another_life, yea in layouts tab theres layout options and in theres layout switching
[06:22]  * mneptok grrrs
[06:22] <Juzzy`> mneptok its not like hes interrupting that much
[06:23] <usser> another_life, you can also add a layout indicator to gnome panel
[06:23] <Juzzy`> If the channel had more activity then it'd be annoying
[06:23] <tonyyarusso> mneptok: sorry, I don't know anything about grrs.  You can browse my brain at the last page of the internet.
[06:23] <another_life> usser,  how? cause ic ant find layout switching :(
[06:23] <Netham45> tonyyarusso, he said grrrs, not grrs.
[06:23] <tonyyarusso> darn
[06:23] <Netham45> lol.
[06:23] <Alan_M> Juzzy`, its still off topic,and mneptok is an OP...so...we still gotta respect his/her authoritay :)
[06:23] <bidget> ok well heres a question, how do I make a launcher icon execute a script?
[06:23] <Bogaurd> I'm trying to create a mdadm raid 1 array... but everytime i try to create it, mdadm complains that /dev/md0 doesnt exist... how can I get the md devices to show up?
[06:24] <mneptok> i have authoriteh?
[06:24] <braydon619> when trying to install the aMSN backports i gives me a error: dependency is not satisfiable: tcl8.5
[06:24] <Netham45> Alan_M, so is tonyyarusso. :P
[06:24] <tonyyarusso> bidget: just use the path to the script as the command.
[06:24] <mneptok> nomnomnom
[06:24] <usser> another_life, right click on the panel
[06:24] <bidget> oh ok
[06:24] <tonyyarusso> bidget: (and make sure the script is set as executable)
[06:24] <usser> another_life, add to panel
[06:24] <bidget> so I can just hide the script away somewhere
[06:24] <tonyyarusso> yup
[06:24] <usser> another_life, look for keyboard indicator
[06:24] <Alan_M> last i checked you does....might be wrong tho.
[06:24] <mneptok> !offtopic | mneptok
[06:24]  * Alan_M hops in #ubuntu-ops and cheats :P
[06:24] <Netham45> Alan_M, he's an op in #ubuntu-ops
[06:24] <Netham45> >.>
[06:25]  * Netham45 is not a cheater!
[06:25] <another_life> axhmmmm usser it seems tha ti can type in greek when I am in the add to panel window but not in office :(
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> Alan_M: nah, that'll give you some false positives.  You want /quote chanserv access #ubuntu list.
[06:25] <bidget> so would I have to go into permissions on it or something to make it executable?
[06:25] <bidget> or...?
[06:25] <braydon619>  when trying to install the aMSN backports i gives me a error: dependency is not satisfiable: tcl8.5
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> bidget: yes, you will likely need to edit the permissions.
[06:25] <bidget> and also when I make the launcher do I want to say application or application in terminal?
[06:25] <Netham45> tonyyarusso, /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list works too. ;)
[06:25] <Alan_M> tonyyarusso...that command scares me..and actually helps me...i know who to watch my butt around then ;)
[06:25]  * Alan_M isnt a trouble maker so whatever :)
[06:26] <Mikeisadumbname> Would installing a different wireless manager give me better results?
[06:26] <another_life> usser,  ok .. did it.. it works everywhere with the indicator on the panel... but what about the keys? :/
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> Netham45: yeah, but direct network commands are cooler.  No, I don't have any reason for that.  ;)
[06:26] <Alan_M> ..at least not anymore, i got a CoC that can get slammed at me.
[06:26] <Mikeisadumbname> The fact that I can see which networks exist leads me to believe it's not a driver problem.
[06:26] <usser> another_life, what about them? :)
[06:26] <Netham45> tonyyarusso, lol.
[06:26] <bidget> tonyyarusso: do I want my launcher to be application or application in terminal?
[06:26] <usser> another_life, you'll need some sort of stickers or a map next to your keyboard
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> bidget: depends - what's it do?
[06:26] <bidget> tonyyarusso: well I have a script that opens up steam
[06:27] <usser> another_life, i just memorized russian layout :P
[06:27] <bidget> so basically it just navigates to program files/steam and runs wine steam.exe
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> bidget: does it require any input on the terminal when running?
[06:27] <bidget> hmm
[06:27] <bidget> I guess so yeah
[06:27] <bidget> cause it would have to run a few commands
[06:27] <another_life> lol
[06:27] <Bogaurd> I'm trying to create a mdadm raid 1 array... but everytime i try to create it, mdadm complains that /dev/md0 doesnt exist... how can I get the md devices to show up?
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> bidget: Does it require _interactive_ input rather, as in you typing things.
[06:27] <bidget> hmmm
[06:27] <bidget> no not really I dont think
[06:28] <Alan_M> wow...theres actually only a few ops ive not met, i know and talk to most of ya heh.
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> bidget: then regular app should be fine.
[06:28] <bidget> well anyway I'll give it a shot, if it doesnt work then I'll change it
[06:28] <bidget> k
[06:28] <Netham45> lol, I rembember gaming on Ubuntu

[06:28] <vee_> whats the opposite of this cmd: sudo ln -s /user/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin?
[06:29] <bidget> is there a way to change the icon of a launcher?
[06:29] <tonyyarusso> bidget: yeah - click the current one in the edit launcher thingy
[06:29] <flatline-kun> vee_: 'rm phpmyadmin' you can delete soft links just like files.
[06:29] <bidget> ehh?
[06:30] <bidget> where is edit launcher?
[06:30] <Netham45> vee_, nimdaymphp nimdaymphp/erahs/resu/ s- nl odus    hehehe.
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> bidget: in the same window where you specified the type and the command, the icon in the upper left - clicking it will let you browse for a new one.
[06:30] <bidget> oh ok cool thanks
[06:30] <vee_> flatline-kun why would one want a soft link rather than a smylink?
[06:31] <q_a_z_steve> Stroganoff: that's not helping with my issue, I can't get the server to really start, it never shows me a gui, it doesn't communicate with my client...
[06:32] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve: you're doing it wrong.
[06:32] <flatline-kun> vee_: softlink = symlink. It used to be "hard" and "soft" links...now it's "hard" and "symbolic"...
[06:32] <bidget> aw crap linux has different icon files

[06:32] <prathibha>  In user login volume control is not working It is giving the following message "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." How to solve this?

[06:34] <Stroganoff> bidget it maybe better to convert the .ico to .png and place it at /usr/share/pixmaps
[06:35] <bidget> hey Stroganoff it says command convert not found
[06:35] <bidget> wait hold it on tells me which packages to install, Im a retard
[06:35] <bidget> lol
[06:35] <q_a_z_steve> Stroganoff: is there a way I can test whether my Daemon is even running?
[06:36] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve: pgrep
[06:37] <q_a_z_steve> can you give me a whole line of syntax? never used it b4
[06:37] <Mikeisadumbname> Anyone have any ideas for my problem?
[06:37] <Mikeisadumbname> Or if there's a channel I could go to for network help?
[06:37] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve: pgrep partimaged
[06:38] <q_a_z_steve> Stroganoff: pgrep partimaged comes back with 19479
[06:38] <Stroganoff> this means its running
[06:38] <bidget> hey Stroganoff I installed the packages but the convert command still isnt working... it says "no image vector graphics (steam.svg)."
[06:38] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve: cd /proc/19479 ; sudo cat stat
[06:38] <Stroganoff> bidget use PNG instead
[06:38] <bidget> ok
[06:38] <Stroganoff> SVG is vector graphics
[06:39] <zengshu> :-D
[06:40] <Bryan_Sierra> whats the name of the program that allows you to virtually run windows through ubuntu?
[06:40] <Bryan_Sierra> that isn't VMwear
[06:40] <Stroganoff> Bryan_Sierra: wine
[06:40] <saltedlight> hi. i'v used synaptic to select packages by task and i'v installed lamp server and open ssh. anyone can tell me how to find what packages i have? i though that phpmyadmin and other "tools" are already installed but they are not...
[06:40] <zengshu> wine
[06:40] <Bryan_Sierra> Stroganoff, no no. not emulation.
[06:40] <Stroganoff> Bryan_Sierra: virtual box
[06:41] <Bryan_Sierra> that might be it
[06:41] <dwater> anyone help me about fixing a bug? I have downloaded the kernel source but can't identify which occurance of MAX_HWIFS to change.
[06:41] <q_a_z_steve> Stroganoff: k, there's a bunch of numbers... but how can I tell if that's working right? I just went out to /var/log/partimage/partimaged.log and that says: qazsteve.pastebin.org/28690
[06:43] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve might be a bug http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1892&sid=91df12eeeafe85fa35d29f30b63b7ad3

[06:44] <unop_> saltedlight, dpkg -l | less
[06:44] <Stroganoff> q_a_z_steve you might have to you a debugger. i'm clueless
[06:44] <StevenX> hello all, I was wondering if you could tell me where i set up my fonts for applications and such.
[06:44] <Stroganoff> use a debugger
[06:45] <unop_> saltedlight, phpmyadmin might require installation
[06:45] <Stroganoff> StevenX: settings -> appearance?
[06:45] <saltedlight> is php5 installed by default? full or just a part of it?
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> saltedlight: no, why would it be?
[06:46] <saltedlight> wen installing LAMP php is not instaled? :-O
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> saltedlight: if you install LAMP it would be, yes, because you just installed it.....
[06:47] <unop_> doesn't that depend on what P in lamP stands for ? :)
[06:47] <StevenX> Stroganoff, how do i install fonts?
[06:47] <Stroganoff> saltedlight: sudo apt-get install php5
[06:47] <saltedlight> ok :D but what should i install to be shure that i have the _all_ package?
[06:48] <unop_> saltedlight, if you mean, is phpmyadmin the same as php5? then no
[06:48] <Stroganoff> StevenX: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> unop_: yes, but if you use the tasksel option it's php.
[06:48] <q_a_z_steve> Stroganoff: that sucks, I even reinstalled it...
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> saltedlight: the all package?  huh?
[06:48] <saltedlight> no. i mean php 5 _full_ package
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> what on earth are you talking about?
[06:49] <saltedlight> i know that phpmyadmin is not php :-"
[06:49] <icesword> hello
[06:49] <unop_> saltedlight, you could just do. sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin # and be sure it's there :)
[06:49] <bagus> hello
[06:49] <Stroganoff> saltedlight: see this for extra packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=php5
[06:50] <saltedlight> php 5 full: dependencies tools and whatever there is about php5... this is what i want...
[06:50] <SubOne> does anyone know if there is a gedit plugin to get expanse/collapse of blocks of code
[06:50] <octoberdan> My webcam works when I run ekiga, but when I run the "webcam"  program provided by the webcam package, I get "Device or reource busy," even if I haven't used ekiga yet. fuser /dev/video0 returns nothing.
[06:50] <DAMNED> HI
[06:51] <SubOne> hi
[06:51] <unop_> saltedlight, errm, it's better just to install the components you want, the dependencies are automatically pulled in, you don't need to worry about that
[06:51] <tonyyarusso> saltedlight: Why would you what everything remotely related to php?
[06:51] <tonyyarusso> *want
[06:51] <adrin_jalali> hi there, i just wanna know whether it's possible to install ubuntu or any other distro on a p990 sony ericsson smartphone, I saw the video on youtube, but no description is available i think
[06:51] <DAMNED> ALGUN MEXICANO
[06:52] <jussio1> !en | DAMNED:
[06:52] <unop_> DAMNED -- in #ubuntu-es
[06:52] <jussio1> oh :/
[06:52] <Alan_M> jussio1, heh, unop beat ya to it :)
[06:52] <tonyyarusso> adrin_jalali: any idea what architecture the processor is?
[06:52] <saltedlight> because i want to learn everything about php, and i do not want to install parts of it in time... just do one install and have it all...
[06:52] <jussio1> Alan_M: The bot is broken.
[06:53] <Stroganoff> adrin_jalali: Wizolabo has used hardware modifications
[06:53] <Alan_M> jussio1, yeah...that too...bots taking vacation to jamaica :P
[06:53] <SubOne> saltedlight: but you're gonna confuse the situation for the environment your learning in
[06:53] <guess> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.I am getting this error when clicking volume control in normal login.
[06:53] <SubOne> does anyone know if there is a gedit plugin to get expanse/collapse of blocks of code
[06:54] <unop_> saltedlight, well, not that i recommend it but you could do this then.  sudo aptitude install $(apt-cache search php | cut -c 3-30)
[06:54] <tonyyarusso> adrin_jalali: seems to be ARM.  I believe Debian has some level of support for that architecture.
[06:54] <guess> How to solve the problem
[06:54] <octoberdan> What else should I try to see what's up with my webcam?
[06:54] <adrin_jalali> aha
[06:54] <octoberdan> Why would it work in ekiga but not in webcam?
[06:54] <adrin_jalali> yeah wikipedia says : "The P990 runs the Nexperia PNX4008 ARM9 208 MHz processor from Philips."
[06:54] <tonyyarusso> saltedlight: you would never ever use everything that you could install.
[06:55] <SubOne> Does anyone know if there is a channel for gedit?
[06:55] <z1o> hello, anyone here use vimperator?
[06:55] <Alan_M> SubOne, we are one of em :)
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> adrin_jalali: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ may be useful too.
[06:55] <Stroganoff> SubOne: http://searchirc.com/irc-gedit-1
[06:55] <FliesLikeABrick_> whenever I try to do anything with apt (gutsy), I get "E: The package linux-headers-2.6.22-9 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it."
[06:55] <guess> Is there anyone around to help
[06:55] <Mikeisadumbname> No one has any ideas for me?
[06:56] <FliesLikeABrick_> How can I just tell APT "force remove any parts of this package and forget about it"
[06:56] <FliesLikeABrick_> guess yes, just ask your question
[06:56] <Alan_M> guess, look around, were all here to help, just ask your question mate.
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> adrin_jalali: Debian status is described on http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/
[06:56] <guess> FliesLikeABrick,  No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.I am getting this error when clicking volume control in normal login.
[06:56] <unop_> FliesLikeABrick, what do you mean by "parts of this package" ?
[06:56] <FliesLikeABrick_> guess don't ask me, I'm saying to just ask the channel
[06:57] <Mikeisadumbname> I did a bunch of times and the only response I got was to ask.
[06:57] <guess> FliesLikeABrick, I already asked this question
[06:57] <Mikeisadumbname> Hence my confusion.
[06:57] <guess> FliesLikeABrick, No one is replying
[06:57] <Stroganoff> FliesLikeABrick: sudo apt-get -f install
[06:57] <FliesLikeABrick_> unop_ I just want to get APT into a usable state, I don't know what is wrong with that package and don't really care since I'm just going to install 2.6.22-14 once APT is working again
[06:57] <DAMNED> ALGUIEN CON QUIEN COMPARTIR IDEAS
[06:57] <adrin_jalali> tonyyarusso: I see, it seems that would help, thanks
[06:57] <Stroganoff> FliesLikeABrick: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:57] <FliesLikeABrick_> Stroganoff same error
[06:57] <Alan_M> guess, being in this room requires patience buddy
[06:57] <FliesLikeABrick_> Stroganoff this error happens with seemingly any APT operation, I've tried install -f, dist-upgrade, remove, purge and others
[06:57] <SubOne> Stroganoff: there was someone telling me about you
[06:57] <vlt> Hello. What cache to flush when `nslookup <host>` returns the correct IP from bind on localhost but `ping <host>` tries an old IP address?
[06:57] <FliesLikeABrick_> Stroganoff I've tried the same with aptitude instead of apt as well, hoping it might be more intelligent
[06:58] <Stroganoff> SubOne: what did he/she say?
[06:58] <FliesLikeABrick_> this is an error that dpkg is giving, even when I do dpkg -r packagename
[06:58] <guess> Alan_M, k k
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> DAMNED: This channel is English-only.  For Spanish-language support, join #ubuntu-es.  Additionally, please consider changing your nick first.
[06:58] <FliesLikeABrick_> vlt what does "dig hostname" or "host hostname" give for the IP?
[06:58] <unop_> FliesLikeABrick, if you know the package name.  dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/*packagename*.deb # but you really should look into the error you get and troubleshoot that way
[06:59] <FliesLikeABrick_> unop_ I don't have packagename.deb, that is part of the problem
[06:59] <vlt>  /etc/resolv.conf points to localhost only. `dig` and `host` return the correct ip.
[06:59] <FliesLikeABrick_> I can't find this package anywhere online, I think it was from gutsy pre-beta testing.  This system has been off for a while, but it is remote and I can't find it
[06:59] <Fed00Ra> hi
[06:59] <Stroganoff> FliesLikeABrick: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq
[06:59] <SubOne> Stroganoff: I think it was in #xubuntu and I had an install issue
[06:59] <unop_> FliesLikeABrick, maybe you should show us the exact command and error you get, we can suggest better then
[07:00] <Alan_M> !pastebin | FliesLikeABrick
[07:00] <vlt> FliesLikeABrick_: nscd is running ... maybe that's the problem ...
[07:00] <SubOne> Stroganoff: I think he was saying you had an install script for low memory comps?
[07:00] <Alan_M> Crap..forgot again!
[07:00] <Alan_M> lol
[07:00] <Stroganoff> SubOne did he mean this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[07:00] <Fed00Ra> i have a problem about grub loader it starts command line when i type boot it says that " error 8 : kernel must be loaded before booting "  what should i do ?
[07:00] <Alan_M> well, im out for the night folks, i cant stay up ANY longer.
[07:01] <vlt> FliesLikeABrick_: Yes, restarting nscd fixed it.
[07:01] <FliesLikeABrick_> vlt Stroganoff thanks for your help, --force-all was good enough to get past this.  I know that normally I should look into the cause of this, but given these circumstances I am really not concerned with it
[07:01] <bidget> hey I'm trying to change the icon of a launcher and for some reason when I browse to the file that I want to use it doesn't show up
[07:01] <Stroganoff> FliesLikeABrick: i understand completely :D
[07:01] <FliesLikeABrick_> I'm sorry I can't take the time to troubleshoot it properly with you right now, but I appear to have APT back in a usable state which is really just what I need right now
[07:01] <FliesLikeABrick_> thanks
[07:01] <FliesLikeABrick_> normally I would take time to investigate it fully, trust me
[07:02] <bidget> anybody?
[07:03] <Stroganoff> bidget: just place the .png file into /usr/share/pixmaps
[07:03] <Fed00Ra> i have a problem about grub loader it starts command line when i type boot it says that " error 8 : kernel must be loaded before booting "  what should i do ?
[07:03] <bidget> ah ok
[07:03] <FliesLikeABrick_> Fed00Ra it sounds like your menu.lst file is not formatted properly, and it is instructing grub to boot the kernel before spceifying the kernel
[07:03] <FliesLikeABrick_> Fed00Ra do any of the rescue mode options in grub work?
[07:04] <dryeyes> Is there a program for syncing with iPod touch for ubuntu
[07:04] <Fed00Ra> nope nothing !! just command line :(
[07:04] <bidget> says I dont have permission to write to the folder Stroganoff
[07:04] <FliesLikeABrick_> you will need sudo for that bidget
[07:05] <bidget> right gotcha
[07:05] <jussio1> dryeyes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod?action=show&redirect=IPodHowto
[07:05] <Stroganoff> bidget: sudo cp filename.png /usr/share/pixmaps
[07:05] <unop_> dryeyes, sure, do you know how to edit /etc/apt/sources.list?
[07:05] <dryeyes> ya
[07:05] <bidget> alright I got it :D
[07:06] <unop_> dryeyes, then add this line in.  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ipod-touch/ubuntu gutsy main
[07:06] <Stroganoff> bidget: you could also use ~/.local/share/pixmaps
[07:06] <unop_> dryeyes, and run this command.  sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install gtkpod
[07:06] <Stroganoff> at least its supposed to work that way
[07:06] <Stroganoff> without sudo
[07:06] <bidget> I did sudo mv
[07:06] <dryeyes> thanks unop
[07:06] <bidget> and that worked
[07:06] <Stroganoff> k
[07:07] <FliesLikeABrick_> Stroganoff FYI I think the way that package might have gotten in such a bad state was an NFS share holding APT data got disconnected at some point during a package upgrade/install or something.  It has been months since I was last messing with this machine
[07:07] <bidget> well, it worked as in I moved the file but it still wont let me change the icon of this stupid launcher
[07:07] <bidget> I guess it can't be a .png file
[07:07] <Stroganoff> nfs share holding apt data? well well
[07:07] <FliesLikeABrick_> this particular machine has limited space on / so I mounted /var/apt via NFS
[07:08] <FliesLikeABrick_> yeah, bad idea ;)
[07:08] <Stroganoff> i see
[07:08] <FliesLikeABrick_> it is a testing box more than anything else right now
[07:08] <FliesLikeABrick_> but it is via remote and reinstalling isn't an option, so right now I'm most interested in updating this pre-gutsy-release machine to gutsy-release, then up to hardy
[07:08] <Stroganoff> FliesLikeABrick i you like testing test this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[07:08] <Stroganoff> its easy to test :D
[07:09] <Stroganoff> k forget that ;)
[07:09] <FliesLikeABrick_> I'll take a look at it some other time anyway
[07:09] <bidget> so Stroganoff what do I have to do to make the icon work as a png file?
[07:09] <Stroganoff> bidget it doesnt show up in the launcher editor?
[07:09] <bidget> no
[07:10] <bidget> but I notice all the other icons are .svg files
[07:10] <Stroganoff> try converting it to .xpm
[07:10] <jefffromhell> ok, i got my ubuntu install to see my windows shared files yesterday, but it stopped. and i didnt change anything. what do i need to do to get it to work?
[07:10] <bidget> k
[07:10] <Stroganoff> i dont use gnome myself so..
[07:11] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell are you using the gnome file browser (nautilus)?
[07:12] <jefffromhell> yes. i was told to install samba yesterday, if that helps
[07:12] <b4l74z4r> i can't find a menu option to zoom images in gthumb with the mouse wheel, is there a configuration file i can hack to make that possible?
[07:12] <FliesLikeABrick_> Stroganoff I'm guessing he mounted something by hand without putting it in fstab or something to make it persistent across reboots
[07:12] <bidget> no Stroganoff that didnt work either
[07:12] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: in nautilus: ctrl+l -> smb:///
[07:13] <Stroganoff> bidget have you used the "show all icons" drop down menu in the launcher editor?
[07:13] <bidget> ummm
[07:13] <Stroganoff> bidget: another way would be to edit the launcher with gedit or some text editor and set the "Icon=" just to "filename.png" (path shouldnt be needed)
[07:14] <bidget> where exactly is the show all icons thing?
[07:14] <Stroganoff> should be at the top of the window
[07:14] <Stroganoff> maybe i'm confusing it with xfce, dunno
[07:14] <bidget> well the video is called launcher properties and all it has is type, name, command, and comment
[07:14] <bidget> and then I click on the icon to change it
[07:15] <bidget> and then click on browse and browse to the directory the icon is in
[07:15] <Stroganoff> the launcher editor sucks IMHO
[07:15] <bidget> but it doesnt show up Im assuming because its an incompatible filetype
[07:15] <kindofabuzz> is the only way to have multiple user in proftpd is to have multiple users on the system?  sorry #proftpd isn't talking =)
[07:15] <jefffromhell> Stoganoff, nautilus is the default file browser for gnome right?
[07:15] <bidget> I'll try changing it with gedit then I guess we'll see how that goes
[07:15] <Stroganoff> im pretty sure gnome can handle more formats then SVG
[07:15] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell yep
[07:15] <buried> I need help
[07:15] <buried> I can't burn properly
[07:15] <buried> it seems to burn
[07:16] <buried> I'm trying to burn an .iso image
[07:16] <jefffromhell> sok, i see mshome
[07:16] <buried> openSUSE to be exact
[07:16] <|p33|> kindofabuzz: use proftpd+mysql
[07:16] <buried> can anyone rec me a burning program that lets you choose boot options for the iso image?
[07:17] <Stroganoff> buried iso images contain boot infos
[07:17] <Stroganoff> what do you want to "change"?
[07:17] <jefffromhell> Stroganoff, i see mshome
[07:17] <buried> weird
[07:17] <Stroganoff> are u using brasero?
[07:17] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell ok
[07:17] <buried> yes
[07:17] <jefffromhell> i clicked it and there is only one thing in it. its a tower that says ubuntu
[07:18] <Stroganoff> buried i hope you arent adding the iso to a new brasero compilation
[07:18] <buried> nope
[07:18] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, i clicked it and there is only one thing in it. its a tower that says ubuntu
[07:18] <buried> Iburied> it burns
 ejects
 but when I put the CD back in
 Ubuntu reads it as blank
 and doesn't boot
[07:18] <FloodBot1> buried: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:19] <timo1teo> i finally got it up and running!!!!!!!!
[07:19] <SubOne> Stroganoff: i'll read this for a bit, maybe a little later, ty for this info
[07:19] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell, find out the ip of the windows machine and go go smb://192.168.0.xx accordingly
[07:19] <Stroganoff> SubOne its pretty easy to install
[07:20] <SubOne> Anyone know if there is a gedit plugin to expand/collapse code blocks?
[07:20] <FliesLikeABrick_> SubOne I don't know about gedit, but kate can do that natively
[07:20] <buried> not that I know of
[07:20] <timo1teo> does anyone know where i can figure out how to get the drivers for my ati mobility radeon X1400
[07:20] <FliesLikeABrick_> (native/no plugin needed)
[07:20] <buried> kate is a KDE program
[07:20] <buried> but works fine
[07:20] <FliesLikeABrick_> buried so? I use it in gnome all of the time
[07:20] <FliesLikeABrick_> I'm just putting it out there as a suggestion ;)
[07:20] <SubOne> yeah i use Kate on my own laptop
[07:20] <bidget> oh weak
[07:20] <FliesLikeABrick_> I use kate for all of my development
[07:21] <Stroganoff> buried: cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data cd_image.iso
[07:21] <buried> I didn't say kate is bad
[07:21] <bidget> so Stroganoff apparently the icon files are "vector images" and I can't convert them
[07:21] <buried> I'm just saying that it is a kde app
[07:21] <travisat> you can collapse in vim too
[07:21] <bidget> I just read it on the forums
[07:21] <jefffromhell> he, um, Stroganoff, i dont remember how to find my ip
[07:21] <timo1teo> does anyone know where i can figure out how to get the drivers for my ati mobility radeon X1400
[07:21] <buried> thanks Stroganoff
[07:21] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig
[07:21] <FliesLikeABrick_> sorry buried I'm just used to people being like "Zomg I can't use KDE apps on non-KDE because I need to install a whopping 20MB of KDE libs!!" or somesuch
[07:21] <saladdin19> hey, this is prob a silly question, but i am having trouble compiling a simple C program, gcc is telling me that it can't find the stdio, i mean come on!, is there something that needs to be installed so that i can compile normally?
[07:22] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, i put that ip in and no luck
[07:22] <Stroganoff> bidget have you manually edited the launcher with gedit?
[07:22] <bidget> I couldnt figure out how to do it :(
[07:22] <bidget> I right clicked on it but the only options are launch properties remove and lock to panel
[07:23] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: is the firewall service running in windows (it has to be for sharing to work) start -> run -> services.msc
[07:23] <travisat> saladdin19: did you include stdio?
[07:23] <Stroganoff> bidget: use the console: gedit filename.desktop (use [TAB] for auto-completion)
[07:23] <saladdin19> travisat, yup, #include <stdio.h>
[07:23] <Stroganoff> or use gedit -> File -> Open ....
[07:24] <travisat> saladdin19: hmm weird
[07:24] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, its off as far as i remember, but it worked before i had ubuntu on here, and as i said, last night it worked
[07:24] <bidget> Stroganoff: gotcha
[07:24] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell i dont mean "Firewall" in the control panel but the raw service
[07:25] <saladdin19> travisat, ur tellin me, but is there something special i need to do, im just you know typin gcc foo.c -o foo
[07:25] <jefffromhell> i know. the security center. i went and checked and its on
[07:25] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: smbclient -N -L 192.168.....
[07:25] <saladdin19> travisat, i'm running a amd64 ubuntu if that makes any difference...
[07:25] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell in the terminal.
[07:25] <timo1teo> if i wasn't connected to the internet when i installed and it didnt get the latest security updates or whatever where can i get them now that i am connected?
[07:26] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell security center is the same as control panel but nevermind
[07:26] <xtknight> timo1teo, update manager will let you know of updates
[07:26] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
[07:26] <wizo> hey, i installed eclipse, but when i try to run it i get the error "A java runtime enviroment or java development kit must be available in order ot run Eclipse. No java virtual machine was found...." what should i install?
[07:26] <bidget> no Stroganoff it didn't work
[07:26] <xtknight> timo1teo, it's an orange icon in the top right corner, if you have updates
[07:26] <bidget> the icon in it was gnome-panel-launcher or something and I changed it to /usr/share/pixmaps/steam.png and it didn't change the picture or anything
[07:27] <xtknight> timo1teo, if you don't trust that then you can type "gksu update-manager &" in the terminal

[07:27] <bidget> I found a website that will convert pictures into .svg files for you but unfortunately it requires flash which I've found impossible to install haha
[07:27] <timo1teo> thanjk you
[07:27] <timo1teo> thanks guys
[07:27] <damo23> timo1teo: if you installed without connecting to the net, you'll have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment out the repositories
[07:27] <wizo> bidget:  i think i got flash installed
[07:27] <bidget> you think?
[07:27] <bidget> lol
[07:28] <wizo> bidget: yea, i can use youtube or some other flash sites
[07:28] <bidget> oh nice how did you do it
[07:28] <bidget> and are you on amd64 ubuntu
[07:28] <flaccid> where is ubotu?
[07:28] <wizo> bidget: it's something like non free plugins
[07:28] <xtknight> dead i guess
[07:28] <bidget> he keeps getting disconnected for flooding
[07:28] <Stroganoff> bidget its not really possible to convert .ico (pixel) to .svg (vectors)
[07:28] <bidget> yeah I installed that already wizo, didnt work
[07:28] <wizo> aww
[07:28] <flaccid> dang
[07:28] <Stroganoff> gnome HAS TO read .png and .xpm, ur doing something wrong
[07:28] <wizo> i use flashplugin-nonfree
[07:28] <xtknight> gnome has an icon cache
[07:28] <timo1teo> thanks again
[07:28] <xtknight> which you may need to refresh

[07:28] <jefffromhell> Connection to 192.168.x.xxx failed (Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE)
[07:28] <bidget> yeah wizo I installed that and it didnt work, but oh well
[07:29] <flaccid> well whats the best program recommended for ripping audio cds to .ogg ?
[07:29] <Mizzle> Back.
[07:29] <travisat> slashzul: do you have stiod.h in /usr/include?
[07:29] <bidget> anyway Stroganoff I can send you a screenshot of it if you want but it just isnt working for some reason
[07:29] <wizo> sorry i can't be more help to you bidget =(
[07:29] <travisat> err stdio.h
[07:29] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: can you ping 192...
[07:29] <wizo> bidget: which site?
[07:29] <bidget> wizo: that's ok :D
[07:29] <travisat> oops
[07:29] <wizo> maybe i'll give it a shot :D
[07:29] <travisat> meh
[07:29] <bidget> what do you mean by which site?
[07:29] <wizo> bidget: that flash thing you were trying to access
[07:29] <bidget> oh any site with flash
[07:29] <Stroganoff> bidget: the created .png file is valid?
[07:29] <bidget> facebook, youtube, whatever
[07:29] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, im getting "destination host unreachable"
[07:29] <bidget> yeah it works Stroganoff
[07:29] <wizo> oh, :s that's weird
[07:30] <wizo> it just.. worked straight off for me
[07:30] <Mizzle> Ok.  So I've made sure I'm fully upgraded.  I can see wireless signal on the connection I want.  It hangs and fails every time I try to connect.
[07:30] <Mizzle> Because it sees the connection, I assume it's not a driver issue.  Is that right?
[07:30] <bidget> wizo: I'm using the 64-bit version and apparently adobe doesnt have a 64 bit flash player or something
[07:30] <wizo> bidget: i'm sorry to hear that :(
[07:30] <Stroganoff> you could try to find an svg version of your icon in the webs ;)
[07:30] <bidget> Stroganoff: the png file works just fine its just that it wont work if I try to set it as the icon picture
[07:31] <wizo> but i thought they should have
[07:31] <bidget> wizo: I think it will be fixed soon so its not a big deal
[07:31] <wizo> yea i guess
[07:31] <Mizzle> Should I try ndiswrapper or something?
[07:31] <bidget> wizo: I tried downloading and installing the 32-bit version of firefox to get it all to work but I couldn't figure it out lol
[07:31] <shivamib> Mizzle get signal!
[07:31] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, im getting "destination host unreachable"
[07:31] <Stroganoff> bidget: i dont suppose the file contains special chars like spaces?
[07:31] <shivamib> :)
[07:31] <Mizzle> shvamib: what do you mean?
[07:31] <bidget> Stroganoff: what file?
[07:31] <wizo> bidget: that's nasssty, lol
[07:31] <Stroganoff> the file name
[07:31] <bidget> heh
[07:31] <Mizzle> I'm wired in right now from the wrong room, but that's a temp fix until I can get wireless going.
[07:32] <bidget> no its just "steam.png"
[07:32] <bidget> nothing fancy
[07:32] <shivamib> nevermind
[07:32] <wizo> Mizzle: what problems are you having?
[07:32] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: are you in the same ip subnets (i.e. both 192.168.0.X )
[07:32] <jefffromhell> let me check ubuntus subnet
[07:33] <Mizzle> Wireless won't connect.  Hangs and then fails every time.  Sees the connection, but can't do anything with it, apparently.
[07:33] <wizo> oh, weird
[07:33] <Mizzle> I had the same problem on KDE, and nothing to fix it.
[07:33] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, how do i find the subnet on ubuntu
[07:33] <Mizzle> Someone recommended I try Ubuntu instead, as the support is better, and the userbase is better at troubleshooting.
[07:33] <Mizzle> So here I am.
[07:33] <Stroganoff> bidget: http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/
[07:34] <Stroganoff> bidget the tarball contains steam.svg
[07:34] <tparcina> what program should I use to send FAX over my laptop internal modem on Ubuntu 7.10?
[07:34] <bidget> :O!!
[07:34] <bidget> nice
[07:34] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: settings -> networking or something
[07:34] <icesword> let 's see
[07:34] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: or in terminal: ifconfig
[07:34] <tparcina> I'm planning to FAX PDF and OO.o documents
[07:35] <icesword> lol
[07:35] <timo1teo> can some direct me to the page in documentation i think that concerns the drivers for unsupported graphics cards
[07:35] <timo1teo> it was linked to me before but i can't seem to find it now
[07:35] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, only one i see is the localhost ip
[07:35] <bidget> Stroganoff: where do I find the svg in it...?
[07:35] <timo1teo> i have an ATI mobility radeon X1400
[07:36] <tparcina> does anyone send FAX from Ubuntu? If yes, what program do you use?
[07:36] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, in if config, i only see ips, not subnets
[07:36] <Stroganoff> bidget: browser/wine-doors-icons
[07:36] <bidget> oh nice
[07:36] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell i dont mean subnetmasks
[07:36] <Stroganoff> just the first three ip bracketrs
[07:37] <Stroganoff> i dont know why you cant even PING your windows pc
[07:37] <sjovan> Mizzle: have you tryed to comment out every other card in /etc/network/interfaces and set the wireless uip like this ---> http://pastebin.com/d38e879ea
[07:37] <sjovan> btw... can't be shure if you wirelesscard is named wlan0
[07:37] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, oh, then yeah, they are the same. and my pc cant ping my laptop...
[07:38] <Mizzle> No, I haven't.  Let me take a look at that link.  Thanks!
[07:38] <bidget> Stroganoff: I don't see a browser or wine-doors-icons in there anywhere aggghhhh
[07:38] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell: but you can ping your router?
[07:39] <timo1teo> does anyone know how i can instal the drivers for my graphics card?
[07:39] <bidget> I can't believe how difficult it is to do something as simple as change an icon
[07:39] <Stroganoff> bidget: http://www.wine-doors.org/wd-icons/steam.svg
[07:39] <Mizzle> sjovan: my card is named wlan0, but what file do I edit to look like that?
[07:39] <databridge> my name is wlan1
[07:39] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, never tried to
[07:39] <SorbP> finaly i found this channel
[07:39] <SorbP> hehe
[07:39] <wizo> hey, anyone knows how i can get my eclipse working? it says i need a JRE or JDK
[07:40] <sjovan> Mizzle: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces <--- and remember to put # on every other line, to deactivate it from the config"
[07:41] <sjovan> Mizzle: after you have done that ---> sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 <--- then it hopefully works :)
[07:41] <Mizzle> auto lo
[07:41] <Mizzle> iface lo inet loopback
[07:41] <ralexande> anyone able to tell me if I install ubuntu beta if it will be upgradable via dist upgrade when the final release comes out?
[07:41] <Mizzle> That's the whole paste from that file.
[07:41] <ralexande> or if ill have to reinstall when final release comes out
[07:41] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell is your windows set to automatic ip (dchp)?
[07:41] <benanzo> ralexande: you can upgrade from any version starting with dapper
[07:42] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, i guess...
[07:42] <Stroganoff> jefffromhell have you some odd security software (symantec etc.)?
[07:42] <SorbP> ok i have some quick questions before i move over to ubuntu on mylaptop, i've laready checked that my thinkpad is compatible wiht ubuntu, but what iwas wondering can i login to a microsoft windows domain trough ubuntu and use their VPN?
[07:42] <sjovan> Mizzle: this is the rest of my condig btw... http://pastebin.com/d18e386a2
[07:42] <benanzo> However, for the cleanest possible install you might want to install from the disk anyway
[07:42] <benanzo> but it should work anyway
[07:42] <jefffromhell> um, no security software...
[07:42] <sjovan> Mizzle: yeah, so make thoes lines in the first pastebin that i gave you
[07:42] <bidget> alright I give up on the icon thing
[07:43] <bidget> can anyone help me install flash?
[07:43] <JanPeter> holy crap... just got banned from offtopic for saying one SENTENCE about piracy, then was allowed 2 mins before kicked
[07:43] <ralexande> benanzo: so it should upgrade to final version from the beta version without too much issue then?
[07:43] <timo1teo> no one can help me with installing graphics card drivers? or linking me i can't find a good site
[07:43] <Stroganoff> SorbP: if you want your thinkpad to be really fast use this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[07:43] <SorbP> wow thnx Stroganoff
[07:43] <Stroganoff> SorbP: http://tipotheday.com/2007/11/28/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-gutsy/
[07:43] <saladdin19> OK, so i just went into /usr/include and i don't see stdio.h!!! umm, how do i fix this?
[07:43] <SorbP> i will, butdoes that still give me all the great network tools that linux is known for?
[07:44] <SorbP> nice Stroganoff but will that let me access my folders on our windows domain servers?
[07:44] <Mizzle> Ok.
[07:44] <Shrugz> any one know how i can kill evolution mail off and put something else on?
[07:44] <Mizzle> Lines are made.
[07:44] <Mizzle> Did the next input into the terminal you gave me.
[07:45] <Stroganoff> SorbP should do it. you should be able to test this with a livecd. just run: sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp
[07:45] <Stroganoff> then browse the samba shares
[07:45] <Stroganoff> i have no expierience with this though
[07:45] <benanzo> ralexande: Not too much problem at all.  I've been upgrading since Alpha 6 to current with no problems at all.
[07:46] <ralexande> thanks for the insight :)
[07:46] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, no more ideas?
[07:46] <SorbP> ok next stepp Stroganoff i have no built in dvd drive on this thinkpad so i will have to boot it from a usb stick, any guid on how to prepare a usb stick from windows for booting ubuntu?
[07:46] <Mizzle> sjovan, what was that next link?
[07:46] <sjovan> Mizzle: okay. then se if it works now
[07:46] <sjovan> Mizzle: just the rest of my config
[07:46] <Stroganoff> from windows is not so easy
[07:47] <Mizzle> Is there anything else I should run from terminal to see if wireless is working?
[07:47] <SorbP> ah well i can run ubuntu trough virtualization here i guess and then format the usb stick
[07:47] <Mizzle> Or should I just unplug and try it?
[07:47] <jefffromhell> stroganoff, thanks for your time but i need to hit the hay
[07:47] <Stroganoff> SorbP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[07:47] <Stroganoff> ctrl+f windows
[07:47] <sjovan> Mizzle: did you get any erros when you did the ifdown and ifup thingy?=
[07:48] <Stroganoff> ok jefffromhell
[07:48] <SorbP> thnx Stroganoff you rock
[07:48] <kelvin911> hello, how come when i format a floppy with usb floppy drive in ubuntu, deli linux can read it or mount it?
[07:48] <sjovan> Mizzle: what does ifconfig say about wlan0?
[07:49] <sjovan> Mizzle: did it get a ip?
[07:50] <alxandr> what IRC clients you guy using?
[07:51] <kane77> alxandr, xchat
[07:51] <Stroganoff> kelvin911: use one of these command line tools: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Format_Floppy.html
[07:51] <Mizzle> Is that what's listed under inet addr?
[07:51] <alxandr> im using bitchx however i think i would like to try somehting a little more Mirc-ish
[07:51] <Mizzle> In that case, all it gives me is the 192.168.1.115.
[07:51] <Slart> alxandr: try xchat then.. it's pretty mirc'ish
[07:52] <shivamib> alxandr: bitchx is as irc-ish as it gets! lol
[07:52] <shivamib> h4xx0r
[07:52] <saladdin19> can somebody help me with compiling a regular C progarm, gcc is telling me that there is no stdio.h library
[07:52] <sjovan> Mizzle: that sounds about right :) yeah, unplug
[07:52] <kane77> woot! suspend and hibernate both work in hardy (for me)!!
[07:52] <Slart> saladdin19: have you installed build-essential?
[07:52] <Stroganoff> alxandr: use Irsii :D
[07:52] <sjovan> Mizzle: if it doesn't work, then do another ifdown and ifup
[07:52] <alxandr> haha i must admit I do feel positively geeky chatting from the terminal :P
[07:52] <Stroganoff> alxandr: you have tried xchat, right?
[07:52] <AliadoVgarcia> hi
[07:52] <kelvin911> the formatter doesnt work for me
[07:52] <alxandr> its installing from apt atm :P
[07:52] <saladdin19> Slart, let me check
[07:53] <Stroganoff> kelvin911 whats the error?
[07:53] <Slart> saladdin19: just run this "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[07:53] <kelvin911> i have usb floppy for some reason floppy formatter doesn't work
[07:53] <kelvin911> it says doesnt recognize the disk geometry
[07:53] <Slart> saladdin19: it's not a big thing.. and you'll need it to compile any software on ubuntu
[07:53] <Mizzle> Same result, sjovan.
[07:53] <timo1teo> how do i set a sudo password
[07:53] <Mizzle> I'm going to try unplugging and see if that helps.  Back shortly, I hope.
[07:53] <Slart> timo1teo: it's your user password
[07:53] <flaccid> timo1teo: passwd
[07:54] <timo1teo> its saying wrong
[07:54] <timo1teo> hold up
[07:54] <Slart> timo1teo: same one you use to log in
[07:54] <kelvin911> the disk i format in ubuntu, deli linux wont mount it
[07:54] <saladdin19> Slart, i'm installing it now, surprising it is not included normally...?
[07:54] <Slart> timo1teo: check caps-lock, num-lock etc etc
[07:54] <flaccid> need to be in admin group to sudo
[07:54] <flaccid> by default
[07:54] <timo1teo> im set as admin
[07:54] <Slart> saladdin19: yes.. there must be a pretty good reason not to include it in the default setup..
[07:54] <timo1teo> hold up
[07:55] <SorbP> stroganoff i did a fdisk -l and it only shows one device
[07:55] <SorbP> how do i mount my usb drive?
[07:55] <flaccid> timo1teo: if your are and the password is changed and correct then check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages
[07:55] <Slart> SorbP: same as any other drive.. mount /path/to/devicename /path/to/mountpoint
[07:55] <Stroganoff> SorbP ubuntu has some sort of automounting normally
[07:56] <SorbP> ok well i'm quite new, to this whats the standard mountpoint for a usb drive?
[07:56] <saladdin19> Slart, your my savior man, installing essential did the trick...are there any other builds i should include, i will be doing some socket programming, or does this include the standard Unix C/C++ libraries?
[07:56] <timo1teo> LOL its saying incorrect password i dont get this
[07:56] <Terrasque> SorbP: /Media/<partition name> iirc
[07:57] <timo1teo> ive tried my password and passwd
[07:57] <SorbP> so mount /usb/usb1?
[07:57] <flaccid> look in /media
[07:57] <kane77> oops I was thinking I was in #ubuntu+1..
[07:57] <Slart> SorbP: as Stroganoff said.. usb drives, flash drives etc are normally mounted automatically.. but I usually use a folder in /media .. examples.. /media/usbdrive /media/usb /media/myshittyoldusbdrivethatwontmountautomatically =)
[07:58] <SorbP> hehe ok so if i ype mount /media/usb/drive it shold do it
[07:58] <Stroganoff> SorbP you have to create the mountpoint first: sudo mkdir /media/usbdrive
[07:58] <SorbP> kk
[07:58] <Stroganoff> the usb drive should be /dev/sda1 or something
[07:58] <SorbP> i have one of those
[07:58] <Slart> saladdin19: the build-essential thingy sets up the compiling basics.. you'll probably need some dev-packages later on.. but you'll notice when things don't work =)
[07:58] <SorbP> i tought it was the harddrive but it might be the usb
[07:59] <Stroganoff> SorbP could be sdb1, sdc1 etc..
[07:59] <Slart> SorbP: you can check what kind of block devices you have by running "sudo blkid" in a terminal.. you'll see the device name and file system
[07:59] <Slart> SorbP: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid also works
[08:00] <SorbP> it says that sda1 is ext2
[08:00] <SorbP> so probably ot myy usb drive then
[08:00] <Netham45> I'm about 30 mb up in a document in VI, trying to delete everything below the cursor, how do I do that?
[08:00] <Netham45> !vi
[08:00] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code
[08:00] <Slart> SorbP: what file system is on the usb drive? ntfs?
[08:01] <SorbP> Slart dont know ntfs or fat32 just opened it from the box its a sandisk titanium 4 gig
[08:01] <sjovan> SorbP: then try sdb1 or sdc1 or sdd1... it's all about how many disks you got...
[08:01] <Slart> Netham45: probably some gruesome 40-key sequence involving character you didn't know existed.. if I know vi correctly =)
[08:01] <SorbP> only the harddrive and the one usb
[08:01] <SorbP> sjbrown try to do twhat with it
[08:01] <shivamib> motion keys ftw!
[08:01] <SorbP> command and then what?
[08:01] <timo1teo> how do i reset my sudo password
[08:01] <Slart> SorbP: you can check dmesg too.. it usually writes some info when you connect the drive
[08:02] <Slart> timo1teo: passwd sets your user password.. you are running regular ubuntu, right?
[08:02] <timo1teo> yeah im running passwd and its asking me for my current password and then my new one
[08:03] <timo1teo> and its telling me its not matching up because it wont recognize my "current" pw because i dont know what it is
[08:03] <Slart> timo1teo: ah.. that would be a problem, yes.. hang on.. let me check the fine manual page
[08:04] <Stroganoff> Netham45: sed '1,3005!d' > newfile.txt
[08:04] <Stroganoff> where's 3005 is the line on your cursor
[08:04] <cptcirss> how to mount iso images as cd/dvd
[08:04] <Stroganoff> whereas
[08:04] <Netham45> how do I get the cursor position in VI?
[08:05] <Slart> timo1teo: try running this "sudo passwd timolteo" if timolteo is your username
[08:05] <saladdin19> Slart, thanks for your help
[08:05] <cptcirss> i am trying to mount a dvd/cd iso image on filesystem
[08:05] <unop__> sudo passwd $USER # should always work
[08:05] <cptcirss> what should i do
[08:05] <Slart> !mountiso
[08:05] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[08:05] <timo1teo> okay hold up
[08:05] <CK_MY> how to convert avi and mpeg to dvd ?
[08:06] <bidget> YAAAY I GOT MY ICON CHANGED
[08:06] <Stroganoff> Netham45 i dont know but you can search the line with nano and press ctrl+c in nano to get the line number
[08:06] <Slart> unop__: ah.. didn't think of that.. thanks
[08:06] <Slart> CK_MY: devede is one software that does that
[08:06] <Slart> CK_MY: the version in the repos is a bit old.. but I think it does its job
[08:06] <Netham45> ok, I'm on line 131322
[08:07] <sjovan> cptcirss: ---> sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dir/to/iso/ /dir/to/mount/point <--- the mointpoint folder have to exist from before. ---> man mount <--- is a nice car
[08:07] <CK_MY> Slart,  thx
[08:07] <Stroganoff> Netham45: sed '1,131322!d' > newfile.txt
[08:07] <Slart> CK_MY: you're welcome
[08:07] <Stroganoff> Netham45: sed '1,131322!d' /path/to/your/oldfile.txt > newfile.txt
[08:07] <Stroganoff> sorry
[08:07] <cptcirss> will os treat it as the cd /dvd
[08:07] <cptcirss> or just a folder
[08:07] <CK_MY> Slart, then u know about rm o rmvb?
[08:08] <Slart> sjovan, cptcirss: I think the -t iso9600 part isn't really necessary.. i've never had to use it at least.. I think mount does some auto-fs-checking before mounting..
[08:08] <Slart> CK_MY: rm as in remove file?
[08:08] <bidget> can anyone help me get eve-online running? It's supposed to be natively supported on linux but it isn't working :(
[08:08] <CK_MY> Slart, real player ^>^
[08:08] <sjovan> cptcirss: it will treat it as a disk with iso9660 system...
[08:08] <Netham45> ok
[08:09] <Stroganoff> bidget run it from the terminal and state errors
[08:09] <shivamib> oh man, i miss playing eve
[08:09] <bidget> hmm ok
[08:09] <Netham45> is there a way I can remove all lines that have stuff that's not a number or a period?
[08:09] <bidget> how do I run it from a terminal??
[08:09] <bidget> oh wow
[08:09] <bidget> I typed eve in a terminal and its definitely doing something....
[08:09] <shivamib> lol
[08:09] <Slart> CK_MY: ah.. you meant real media format?.. well. I know about it.. I don't use it
[08:09] <shivamib> behold!
[08:09] <timsandtoms> Anyone know any of any free house layout planning thingys for Ubuntu? Preferably like those superdupersimple old ones, back when people still used floppy disks, but anything great :D
[08:09] <Netham45> Stroganoff, do you know how I would do that?
[08:09] <timo1teo> eh i think i got it to work
[08:10] <CK_MY> Slart,  ok nvm ....
[08:10] <cptcirss> thanks guys
[08:10] <shivamib> timsandtoms: dia?
[08:10] <sjovan> CK_MY: what the problem with the file?
[08:10] <timsandtoms> shivamib: Eh?
[08:10] <timo1teo> its being really fussy
[08:10] <CK_MY> sjovan,  i want convert to dvd so i can play at dvd player
[08:10] <foibles> does anyone know where the startup file is for e16?
[08:10] <bidget> ok so Stroganoff it starts out with something about updating cedega, then "running... /home/dan/.cedega/.ui/runGUI
[08:10] <shivamib> dunno if it's what you need but you could use that
[08:11] <CK_MY> because my pc cant dual monitor and tv
[08:11] <sjovan> CK_MY: sorry, don't know how. maby doom9.org has the awnser
[08:11] <CK_MY> i dont know configure
[08:11] <unop__> Netham45, maybe this?  perl -i.bak -pe 'undef $_ unless /\d+|\./'
[08:11] <bidget> Stroganoff: then it says 0005: BAD STUFF: client ignore setting select events for 0x9004fd70 to 1
[08:11] <bidget> and then it just keeps repeating that only it alternates from 0 to 1 and vice versa all the way down
[08:11] <timo1teo> like lets say my Pw is dogg it asks me for my sudo pw and i type it dogg and then it goes doggtimothy@timothy-laptop:-$ dogg
[08:11] <CK_MY> sjovan, linux can display monitor and tv (clone)
[08:12] <n2diy> Netham45: unop__, or ask in #perl?
[08:12] <shivamib> oh shit, you use that password too?
[08:12] <bidget> lol
[08:12] <timo1teo> haha
[08:12] <timo1teo> so like... wtf im so confused
[08:12] <timsandtoms> shivamib: xP What is it?
[08:12] <bidget> hmmm.. is there a floppy in your disk drive?
[08:12] <unop__> Netham45, that doesn't remove lines that contain both alphabets and numbers and more than one fullstop/period tho
[08:13] <Netham45> unop__, I noticed, heh.
[08:13] <Slart> timo1teo: hmm.. so it never waits for you to type the passwd? that's odd...
[08:13] <timo1teo> no it does and i press enter and type the password then returns that bullshit
[08:13] <unop__> Netham45, if you want to be strict about those conditions. perl -i.bak -pe 'undef $_ unless /^(?:\d+|\.)$/'
[08:13] <shivamib> try pressing enter after it
[08:14] <timo1teo> same thing
[08:14] <Slart> timo1teo: it waits.. *then* you press enter?
[08:14] <Stroganoff> Netham45 maybe this: sed -e 'd/\d+|\./' oldfile.txt
[08:14] <Netham45> unop__, not quite...
[08:14] <Stroganoff> if that regular expression is right
[08:14] <timsandtoms> shivamib: Ah =[ Wouldn't really work... Meh, I'll look around some. Just hopin anyone had a quick answer =] I didn't expect anyone to actually know xP Hell, I should probably just see if Sims works in WINE, I think I have a copy still...
[08:14] <unop__> Netham45, what needs changing?
[08:14] <timo1teo> am i supposed to enter the pw on the same line or press enter and enter the password underneath it? because it wont let me type anything on the same line
[08:14] <shivamib> timsandtoms: sims for house planning? LOL
[08:15] <Netham45> unop__, I want to keep lines that have only numbers and periods.
[08:15] <shivamib> timo1teo: when you type your password, it shouldn't show anything
[08:15] <shivamib> !sudo
[08:15] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[08:15] <timsandtoms> shivamib: xD Actually very good yet really odd reasons for this =] But, yeh :P I just suck at ANYTHING that requires not looking retarded. So i need somewher to mess with a layout =]
[08:16] <Slart> timo1teo: you write "sudo passwd timolteo".. oh.. wait.. you'll need your password for that.. meeh.. didn't think o that
[08:16] <shivamib> timsandtoms: me too
[08:16] <timo1teo> lol
[08:16] <timo1teo> i appreciate the help
[08:16] <timo1teo> hodl on
[08:16] <shivamib> ack!
[08:16] <timo1teo> im going to try something
[08:16] <shivamib> timo1teo: be careful there!
[08:16] <unop__> Netham45, I havent tested that out, but that should keep lines that have numbers and periods, everything else is junked
[08:16] <Netham45> unop__, no, it junked periods, too.
[08:17] <Slart> you'll need your password.. to be able to run passwd as root.. so it won't ask for your password when you change your passwd.. I think I need to sit down now.. =)
[08:17] <timo1teo> so lets make sure im doing this right lol
[08:17] <timo1teo> i type
[08:17] <timo1teo> sudo apt-get update
[08:18] <timo1teo> and it prompts me for pw
[08:18] <Slart> timo1teo: you enter the password.. then press enter
[08:18] <timo1teo> yes
[08:18] <timo1teo> and then as soon as i start typing on the next line for the next part of the process or w/e
[08:18] <timo1teo> it goes
[08:18] <Slart> so , sudo apt-get update <enter> password <enter>
[08:18] <timo1teo> sudoSORRY
[08:18] <unop__> Netham45, perl -i.bak -pe 'undef $_ unless /^[\d+.]$/'
[08:19] <shivamib> lol
[08:19] <unop__> Netham45, err, sorry.  perl -i.bak -pe 'undef $_ unless /^[\d.]+$/'
[08:19] <Valirian> anyone here who would be willing to give me some help getting a prism 2 usb card to work, ive been mucking with it for a couple of days now, and just cant get it to connect....

[08:20] <unop__> neat
[08:20] <shivamib> dawg!
[08:21] <Valirian> is there an easier way to get a prism card to work than ndiswrapper... cause i can load the module ndiswrapper, and the connection shows up , i have the driver installed... ndiswrapper -l shows that its installed and present
[08:21] <Valirian> then the module loads
[08:21] <bidget> anyone have any idea why when I try and start eve it will open 2 windows?
[08:21] <Valirian> no errors, but still nothing
[08:21] <cptcirss> how can i down load doc of ghdl using apt-get

[08:28] <Netham45> unop
[08:28] <unop> ta
[08:28] <unop> Netham45, errm right.. so you're discarding the last line there?
[08:28] <Netham45> yes
[08:28] <Netham45> I need Line1:Line2     Line4:Line5     Line7:Line8 etc...
[08:28] <cptcirss> i have a iso image of dvd of ubuntu how to add it in synaptic
[08:28] <Netham45> the spaces being new lines
[08:28] <unop> Netham45, and are those lines depicted as is, or are you using semi-regexps? :)
[08:29] <Netham45> unop, I don't quite understand what you are saying.
[08:29] <Valirian> ubotu, been there quite a few times... seems i get no help with the specific card i have... everyone else says it works when they plug it in..... not for me .... so i used ndiswrapper.... installed the driver ... depmod -a ... modprobe ndiswrapper
[08:29] <shivamib> lol
[08:29] <ompaul> timo1teo, type this  >> id <<  what uid have you got?
[08:29] <Netham45> I just googled for regexps and went based upon what seemed logical
[08:29] <shivamib> !bot
[08:29] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:29] <unop> Netham45, what i mean is  are they of the form   1.2.3.4 \n 5 \n 6 .. so that you want 1.2.3.4:5 ?
[08:30] <Netham45> unop, yes.
[08:30] <unop> Netham45, can you show me an excerpt in a !pastebin please.. that'll make it clearer and i have something real to work with
[08:30] <Netham45> (They are IP's and ports, if you havn't guessed yet, heh.)
[08:31] <yandy_> ns register 123
[08:31] <cptcirss> can local forders be add in synaptic

[08:33] <HinHin> hi guys, is it possible to turn an existing windows partition into an .vdi for virtual box?
[08:34]  * Netham45 needs to learn regexp's
[08:34] <Netham45> seems like it'd be helpful, heh.
[08:35] <nucco> I'm using 64bit ubuntu, is w64codecs is only 220KB, is that what I need, or do I install w32codecs?
[08:36] <HinHin> nucco, don't think so
[08:36] <timo1teo> wow
[08:36] <timo1teo> i rebooted
[08:36] <timo1teo> and its working
[08:36] <nucco> HinHin: I'm at medibuntu right now http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w64codecs/
[08:37] <timo1teo> thank you for your help
[08:37] <timo1teo> this is new to me
[08:37] <MouseBerry> how do i review RIC talk history?
[08:37] <HinHin> nucco, why don't you just look @ it in synaptic?
[08:37] <nucco> HinHin: is it there :p
[08:38] <nucco> ?
[08:38] <HinHin> of course :P
[08:39] <nucco> HinHin: duh! I'm so smart :p LOL
[08:39] <HinHin> synaptic looks @ those repositories, as long the repo is added
[08:39] <HinHin> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:39] <nucco> HinHin: I know how to add repos... :)
[08:40] <HinHin> ah cool
[08:40] <HinHin> but yes, you don't need w32codecs
[08:40] <HinHin> if you have have a 64bit system
[08:41] <nucco> HinHin: it's the filesizes that made me doubt. w32  is about 14MB, I was rather surprised to see w64 reading 220KB :)
[08:41] <Saint`Diamond> Anyone else in here run Ubuntu on Innotek's Virtualbox?
[08:42] <unop> Netham45,  perl -i.bak -0777 -ne '@_=split/\n/,$_; while (@_) { printf "%s:%s\n",@_[0,1]; splice @_,0,3 }' /path/to/file
[08:42] <cptcirss> hey how can i add an iso image in synaptic
[08:43] <HinHin> add an iso image?
[08:43] <HinHin> for what>
[08:43] <HinHin> do you want to mount an iso?
[08:43] <mathew> When I go to change the video settings on WoW, my laptop freezes, what can I do?
[08:43] <Netham45> unop, WOO
[08:43] <Netham45> thanks!
[08:43] <unop> cptcirss, are you alright? you've been asking silly questions about synaptic for half an hour now..  all synaptic does is allow you to select packages and install/uninstall them - not add CDs, books, music, etc
[08:43] <bidget> anyone in here know how I can get eve online to run properly?
[08:44] <unop> Netham45, :)
[08:44] <nucco> HinHin: I think that person needs to mount the image first, or extract it to a folder, then add the folder to synaptic as a repository
[08:44] <kindofabuzz> mathew, you have to run wow in opengl
[08:44] <timo1teo> so im installing the drivers for my graphics card and i typed in sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and the ubuntu wiki says if it complains about dependencies download python 2.4 and if necessary its dependencies?? what does that mean
[08:44] <mathew> I have, and every time I go to adjust my settings, it freezes
[08:44] <Saint`Diamond> I tried for a month to get EVE to run on Ubuntu..
[08:44] <HinHin> nucco, ah thanks
[08:45] <b4l74z4r> where on earth do i find the menu for adding more virtual desktops, i've looked everywhere
[08:45] <HinHin> Saint`Diamond, :) a new version of wine came out today
[08:45] <nucco> b4l74z4r: right-click the applet?
[08:45] <Saint`Diamond> HinHin Is it any good?
[08:45] <bidget> yes but HinHin eve online doesnt run with wine
[08:45] <HinHin> the updated package isn't in the reps yet though
[08:45] <bidget> it runs normally
[08:45] <bidget> well, it's supposed to anyway
[08:45] <b4l74z4r> nucco: i've deleted the applet from the menu
[08:45] <Saint`Diamond> bidget Your biggest hope is Transgaming Cedega
[08:46] <bidget> and that is...?
[08:46] <HinHin> lol Cedega
[08:46] <HinHin> don't bother seriously
[08:46] <bidget> Ive noticed that when I try and run eve it is spouting some crap about cedega
[08:46] <HinHin> wine is better or just as good nowadays
[08:46] <nucco> b4l74z4r: from which menu? or from the panel? right-click the panel again and add workspace switcher
[08:46] <bidget> should I just scrap that plan and try and install it with wine?
[08:46] <Saint`Diamond> I could'nt get EVE to work.
[08:46] <HinHin> i've tried it it's crap
[08:46] <jussi01> !appdb
[08:46] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[08:46] <Saint`Diamond> I got the screen, but no text and it's all screwing.
[08:46] <bidget> yeah I got the same thing
[08:46] <bidget> 2 black screens open
[08:47] <bidget> and thats it
[08:47] <timo1teo> so im installing the drivers for my graphics card and i typed in sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and the ubuntu wiki says if it complains about dependencies download python 2.4 and if necessary its dependencies?? what does that mean
[08:47] <Saint`Diamond> I know, it promised that EVE could run on linux, but it does'nt mention which brand they got it to run on.
[08:47] <mathew> It runs rather glitchy when I run WoW, but when I got to adjust the video down it freezes. Is there anything that I can do?
[08:48] <bidget> well when you go to download the install files they list it for a lot of distributions
[08:48] <bidget> like theres ones for redhat and other brands
[08:48] <Saint`Diamond> I gave up and went back to Vista cuz of it. Now I just run ubuntu in a virtualbox.
[08:49] <mathew> Can anyone help me?
[08:49] <b4l74z4r> how do i make the workplace switcher line up right next to the trash can?
[08:49] <nucco> I only made the switch to linux when I decided to give up my favourite programs (winamp) for which I couldn't find no real substitute... I've never considered wine as a good enough reason for me to feel confident about the switch :)
[08:50] <nucco> ask!
[08:50] <damo22> b4l74z4r: right click, unlock, move
[08:50] <Saint`Diamond> nucco Ever tried KMPlayer for windows? Winamp has nothing on it.
[08:50] <nucco> mathew: ask.
[08:50] <b4l74z4r> damo22: thanks
[08:50] <nucco> Saint`Diamond: haven't used windows in a few years :)
[08:50] <timo1teo> anyone experienced in fixing the drivers for graphics cards? i need some help
[08:50] <mathew> I'm having issues with running WoW on my laptop
[08:50] <Saint`Diamond> nucco: Your lucky, it's got ahold of me like a crack addict.
[08:50] <nucco> timo1teo: better off just asking your question
[08:50] <jussio1> timo1teo: ask away :)
[08:51] <timo1teo> i did twice
[08:51] <yandy_> finally I registed successfully
[08:51] <timo1teo> i didnt want to spam
[08:51] <timo1teo> figured someone could help me on the side
[08:51] <buried> hello
[08:51] <nucco> Saint`Diamond: windows usually has a hold on people who play games. its understandable
[08:51] <buried> all
[08:51] <timo1teo> but here it is again
[08:51] <timo1teo> so im installing the drivers for my graphics card and i typed in sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and the ubuntu wiki says if it complains about dependencies download python 2.4 and if necessary its dependencies?? what does that mean
[08:51] <Lapinux> didnt nautilus have a problem a while back with browsing media files, i think it was when preview was on and there were a large number of files?
[08:51] <Saint`Diamond> nucco, For games it's very hard to even compete with the big W
[08:51] <nucco> timo1teo: nobody answering you probably means no one has anything helpful to say on it yet
[08:51] <bidget> wow wine works with a shitload of stuff
[08:51] <Lapinux> my nautilus keeps craping out on me
[08:52] <DJones> nucco: Did you ever try xmms on linux, thats described as being modelled on winamp
[08:52] <mathew> I have added the line "opengl" and when I go to adjust the video settings, my computer freezes
[08:52] <buried> is Straganoff on
[08:52] <buried> line
[08:52] <jussio1> timo1teo: could you point us to the wiki page you are looking at?
[08:52] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to hack gthumb into zooming images with the mouse wheel, there's no option for it in the preferences
[08:52] <bidget> no stroganoff left :(
[08:52] <nucco> Saint`Diamond: yes, I hated it. I've been using rhythmbox as long as I remember
[08:52] <Saint`Diamond> nucco, But I like programming, and linux is awesome about that.
[08:52] <buried> somebody help me
[08:52] <buried> I'm trying to burn a openSUSE iso
[08:52] <buried> file
[08:52] <nucco> Saint`Diamond: even beep-media-player doesn't have a media library. how do they expect humans to use that?
[08:52] <buried> it burns succesfully
[08:52] <Saint`Diamond> Ok buried
[08:52] <timo1teo> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[08:52] <buried> but
[08:52] <bidget> timolteo all its saying is that you might need to install python 2.4
[08:53] <buried> it doesn't boot
[08:53] <Saint`Diamond> nucco, ever use the command line music players?
[08:53] <buried> I tried the iso in vmware
[08:53] <buried> and it works
[08:53] <buried> so I'm wondering
[08:53] <buried> wtf
[08:53] <nucco> Saint`Diamond: I also think nautilus is far better than any other file manager I've ever seen. *I hate command line* (even though I'm comfortable with it)
[08:53] <Lapinux> buried, you may want to try no not seperate every word you type with the enter key
[08:53] <Saint`Diamond> Well buried, have you checked your computers boot options?
[08:53] <bidget> yeah at that very first screen it might say "press delete to enter setup"
[08:53] <buried> yes
[08:54] <timo1teo> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[08:54] <bidget> you will have to set your computer so that it will choose cdrom as the first boot device
[08:54] <buried> I've checked the bio, etc..
[08:54] <Saint`Diamond> buried, maybe yours is the kind where you have to choose the boot order each time.
[08:54] <buried> yeah I got that
[08:54] <buried> I've booted Ubuntu cd
[08:54] <bidget> oh ok
[08:54] <buried> well enough to work :)
[08:54] <buried> but openSUSE is killing me
[08:54] <Saint`Diamond> buried, it does'nt even bring up the classic text loading screen?
[08:54] <bidget> ok well... this is the ubuntu support channel not opensuse lol
[08:54] <RedScare> anyone know how to play .asx in gutsy?
[08:54] <alxandr> anyone know if it is possible to install ubuntu FROM a usb pendrive?
[08:55] <buried> I know this is ubuntu support
[08:55] <bidget> yes it is!
[08:55] <nucco> ciao, I'm off to face the day!

[08:56] <timo1teo> ubotu
[08:56] <timo1teo> lolz
[08:56] <Saint`Diamond> Hmm.
[08:56] <timo1teo> love it
[08:56] <buried> seems to me like a burning problem, burning the image with boot info in linux, worked fine when burning using Windows Nero now Ubuntu burns, I can see traces behind, but doesn't work
[08:57] <mathew> Why is WoW freezing when I go to change my video settings
[08:57] <buried> are you running WoW using -opengl?
[08:57] <Boohbah> mathew: it's trying to tell you that you play too much
[08:58] <mathew> Yeah, I'm running it through opengl, and when I go to adjust the video settings it keeps freezing on me
[08:59]  * buried needs help bad about burning lol
[08:59] <mathew> Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
[08:59] <Saint`Diamond> LoL buried.
[08:59] <Saint`Diamond> buried, does it just ignore the CD and go to the dominant OS or what?
[09:00] <cptcirss> unop when  we want to add some thing from dvd of ubuntu we use option  we have an option in synaptic edit -> add cd rom . there must have a dvd of ubuntu 7.10 .but i have an iso image i mounted it on cdrom0 but synaptic does not see it. i don have a dvd right now. i was burning a new dvd by iso image but some error occurred  and i got corrupted. now how can i use that iso image as the source for the packages. i hope i am clear :-)
[09:01] <buried> Saint`Diamond: yeah I buzzes and tries to read the cd but doesn't boot
[09:01] <buried> it*
[09:02] <Saint`Diamond> buried, when you ran it in VMware, did you do it from the raw .ISO? Or from the CD with the ISO on it?
 raw iso
[09:03] <buried> I think it's a burning problem
[09:03] <buried> burn without boot option
[09:03] <cptcirss> no i copied it from actual dvd of ubuntu
[09:03] <Saint`Diamond> buried, Well we know the ISO works, now did you just drag and drop the ISO to the CD to burn it, or use an actual ISO burning process?
[09:03] <buried> ISO burning process...
[09:04] <Saint`Diamond> buried, what did you use to burn it with?
[09:04] <buried> Brasero, K3b
[09:04]  * Saint`Diamond is trying to narrow it down.
[09:04]  * Saint`Diamond lol.
[09:04] <unop> cptcirss, i don't use synaptic so ..  pop your CD-Rom into the drive and run this command.  sudo apt-cdrom  # i must make you aware that the cdrom doesn't contain all packages, only some
[09:04] <Saint`Diamond> Hmm.
[09:04]  * buried is there a way to just boot the .iso from my comp
[09:04] <eax> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my Girlfriends Acer Aspire 9300. The internet works, but not perfectly :( (wireless that is) Sometimes it just drops the connection, though still connected to the net she cannot reach any sites. And the internet is slow as hell (only on her computer) any tips/help?
[09:05] <buried> eax, try this : sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[09:05] <blinkiz> How do I get swedish spell checking support in tomboy? (ubuntu 8.04, tomboy 0.10.1)
[09:05] <cptcirss> unop: well i dont have dvd now only thing i have now is iso image
[09:06] <Saint`Diamond> buried, Well. You can't just boot an .ISO like that, because there is like no way to keep it mounted or anything when you restart. Have you tried the whole usb install thing?
[09:06] <eax> buried: Would that help? The internet worked out-of-the box. It's just slow and unstable :/
[09:06] <unop> eax, you might be able to get a better driver for the network card .. requires some googling tho
[09:06] <Saint`Diamond> I have an Acer Aspire.
[09:06] <buried> eax, well it seems that would help, if it does work out of the box, might just be a signal problem
[09:06] <eax> unop: Okay thanks :)
[09:06] <DJones> blinkiz: You should ask in #ubuntu+1 for support queries on 8.04/Hardy
[09:07] <amee2k> hi everyone
[09:07] <UB`> blinkiz Administration -> Language Support
[09:07] <buried> Saint`Diamond, well then Im stuck
[09:07] <eax> buried: I thought of that too :) I'm gonna have to research for it :) Thanks a lot :)
[09:07] <buried> eax, no probs
[09:07] <amee2k> why am i getting unauthenticated updates and packages?
[09:07] <Saint`Diamond> buried, It is weird that your ISO will not burn right. Have you tried to get NERO to burn it for you?
[09:07] <icesword> how do you mean
[09:07]  * buried theres a nero for Ubuntu?
[09:08] <icesword> lol
[09:08] <cptcirss> unop i have a iso image of DVD of ubunto 7.10 now what should i do now
[09:08] <Saint`Diamond> buried, well I know they make a nero for linux, should be a debian one.
[09:08] <icesword> buried,  /msg ubotu burn
[09:08] <unop> cptcirss, i'm thinking, gimme a minute
[09:08] <icesword> unop, lol
[09:08] <Saint`Diamond> buried, if all else fails, you can come to the darkside and get windows with nero to burn the ISO.
[09:08] <buried> lol
[09:09] <buried> Saint`Diamond, will running Windows in VMware installed with Nero work?
[09:09] <icesword> buried, i think you should burn it neither too fast nor too slow
[09:09] <Saint`Diamond> buried, most virtual software like that does'nt support burning that well.
[09:09] <buried> Saint`Diamond lol well I tried :(
[09:10] <cptcirss> i have an DVD iso image, i mounted it on cdrom0 but synaptic does not see it. i dont have a dvd right now. i was burning a new dvd by iso image but some error occurred  and it got corrupted. now how can i use that iso image as the source for the packages. i hope i am clear :-)
[09:10] <blinkiz> UB`, Thank you. I also thing that is the solution. So, I want to have english as my gnome language but spell checking in swedish. Do you know how? Is it something to do with /etc/enviroments maybe?
[09:10] <yandy_> quit
[09:10] <shivamib> use the slash => /
[09:10] <cptcirss> unop thanks sir :-)
[09:11] <Saint`Diamond> Dam, he left.
[09:11] <unop> cptcirss, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal # < see step two about putting packages in a folder .. what you will need to do is mount the iso, copy all the .deb packages from within it to a folder and create your own offline repository
[09:11] <Saint`Diamond> I was going to show him where nero was.
[09:12] <nsillik> hey, i was wondering if it is possible to use both KVM and xen on the same computer?
[09:12] <nsillik> in hardy specifically
[09:12] <icesword> nsillik, if they don't conflict with host and each other
[09:13] <nsillik> icesword: well, i noticed that with the xen kernels installed there is no kvm_amd or kvm_intel modules, is this because there is a conflict? or is it just an oversight?
[09:13] <icesword> who knows,so many apps
[09:14] <unop_> cptcirss, or if you would rather keep the iso file always mounted, you can use that as the base for your respository . which might work out better
[09:15] <nsillik> hmm... well. i'll keep hunting on google for a tip
[09:16] <bakom> hello, how can I set up the boot manager from ubuntu again? I installed windows on another partition and I want toselect at startup, which partition to boot
[09:18] <IsotropicSpin> hey
[09:18] <blinkiz> How do I get swedish spell checking in TomBoy? I have english as my main gnome language but also swedish language pack install from administration->Language Support.
[09:18] <erUSUL> !grub | bakom
[09:18] <ubotu> bakom: 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
[09:18] <IsotropicSpin> will ubuntu 8.03 fix the problem with Dual Core AMD 64's and randomly crashing?
[09:19] <IsotropicSpin> ??
[09:19] <bakom> thanks erUSUL
[09:19] <icesword> lol
[09:19] <Saint`Diamond> I only have one harddrive and I want to install ubuntu alongside with windows Vista on the same HD, is that possible without screwing up windows?
[09:19] <IsotropicSpin> sorry i mean 8.04
[09:19] <IsotropicSpin> ??
[09:20] <erUSUL> IsotropicSpin: i have gutsy 64 bit with dual core amd 64 and no random crashing...
[09:20] <DJones> IsotropicSpin: Its probably worth you asking that in #ubuntu+1, the people there have been testing it, so there's a chance somebody will have installed on a similar machine
[09:20] <amee2k> i am getting unauthenticated updates (namely ghostscript). is this a problem?
[09:20] <icesword> IsotropicSpin, check there website,i heard they gave out a patch
[09:20] <icesword> their*
[09:20] <IsotropicSpin> eUSUL Its common
[09:21] <IsotropicSpin> icesword who AMD? or Ubuntu?
[09:21] <icesword> amd
[09:21] <IsotropicSpin> icesword where did you hear this?
[09:21] <HenrikLynggaard> how can I set the gnome-terminal title from within a bash script ?
[09:21] <icesword> they gave out one for m$ os
[09:21] <IsotropicSpin> Djones: thanks
[09:22] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: one would expect them to give out one for MS os but what about Ubuntu? you mean m$= evil unspeakable filth corporation right? bill gates
[09:22] <noob123> hello
[09:23] <noob123> i was trying to do a dual boot,xp and ubuntu
[09:23] <Saint`Diamond> I only have one harddrive and I want to install ubuntu alongside with windows Vista on the same HD, is that possible without screwing up windows?
[09:23] <noob123> how van i do it manually
[09:23] <icesword> IsotropicSpin, heehehe,take it easy
[09:23] <noob123> i did use the guided method,and i lost a whole lo of space on my xp
[09:24] <unop_> HenrikLynggaard,  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;foo bar baz\007"'
[09:24] <redwhitewaldo> how can i get the printout of a command i ran in terminal (xrandr -q) 2 hours ago, after a shutdown?
[09:24] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: if only bill would take it easy with intellectual property... and say opensource the whole lot! :-)!!!
[09:24] <redwhitewaldo> would that be possible?
[09:24] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: did you mean microsoft by m$?
[09:24] <icesword> IsotropicSpin, yes
[09:24] <Saint`Diamond> I just wanna dedicate 10 gigs to ubuntu on the HD I have Vista on. I don't wanna mess up Vista..
[09:24] <unop_> redwhitewaldo, history | grep xrandr
[09:25] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: yeah, thanks anyway! that won't help me! :-) thanks alot though!
[09:25] <erUSUL> noob123: that's expected that's the space ubuntu took for its partitions
[09:25] <icesword> unop_, what will it do that command
[09:25] <unop_> icesword, which one?
[09:25] <icesword> IsotropicSpin, what ?i don't get it
[09:25] <pale-yafa> hi, I have crontab to run a script, when it was * * * * * /home/user/update.php it didnt work and when I changed it to * * * * * php /home/user/update.php it works fine the question is what is the rright way to run it?
[09:25] <icesword> unop_, history | grep xrandr
[09:25] <noob123> can i just install it on the drive that i want..
[09:25] <redwhitewaldo> unop_ that command gives just the commands i ran. I want to see the printout of the commands.
[09:25] <redwhitewaldo> icesword: i'll try that.t hanks
[09:26] <unop_> icesword, look through your command history and find the ones matching xrandr
[09:26] <redwhitewaldo> icesword: that's the same thingk
[09:26] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: you were saying AMD had a patch for the 64bit processor right? then you said it was only for Msoft..... did you mean for Ubuntu? Is there an Ubuntu patch from AMD?
[09:26] <redwhitewaldo> thing.
[09:26] <icesword> redwhitewaldo, sorry
[09:26] <erUSUL> redwhitewaldo: not possible unless you where usingo some kind of login command such as script
[09:26] <unop_> redwhitewaldo, not possible
[09:26] <redwhitewaldo> erUSUL: i see.
[09:26] <redwhitewaldo> unop_ i see
[09:26] <icesword> IsotropicSpin, you 'd rather ask google ,but not me
[09:26] <redwhitewaldo> hmmm.
[09:27] <IsotropicSpin> icesword: thanks, just thought you might be saying AMD had one for ubuntu..... you know how to hold 3 conversations at once! congratulations! hehe thanks!
[09:27] <unop_> pale-yafa, are you sure the file /home/user/update.php is set to executable?  what does this say?  ls -l /home/user/update.php
[09:29] <pale-yafa> unop_: yes it executes as I said when I add the word php before the path in the crontab it works fine, so just wondering what is the right syntax
[09:31] <unop_> pale-yafa, there's a difference in both ways .. both are right if they accomplish the same goal . one reason why the first one didnt work might be because the file is not set to be executable
[09:32] <Hattori> how to change target of a link directory?
[09:32] <unop_> Hattori, do you mean a symbolic link (symlink)?
[09:33] <Hattori> ya
[09:33] <Hattori> and how to read the current target first..
[09:33] <unop_> Hattori, read it with .. readlink /path/to/link
[09:33] <unop_> change it with. ln -svf /path/to/new/destination /path/to/existing/symlink
[09:33] <yandy> help
[09:34] <Hattori> thanks
[09:36] <Hattori> should i use sudo?
[09:36] <Hattori> since it seems not to change it
[09:37] <Hattori> i do ln -svf and then readling but it doesn't change
[09:37] <unop_> Hattori, only if you need to .. if you don't have permissions to delete the symlink, then you do need sudo

[09:40] <unop_> HasanNoori, you probably will have more input on that if you ask they guys in the farsi channel.
[09:40] <DJones> HasanNoori: This will probably help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu
[09:41] <unop_> Hattori, what that means is `/home/me/apache-tomcat-5.5.20' is now a link to `/home/me/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.20' -- is that what you wanted?
[09:41] <unop_> err
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Hattori: just go to your ~/ and use ln -s ./apache-tomcat-5.5.20 ./tomcat

[09:45] <Hattori> no.
[09:45] <Hattori> i asked 5.5.20
[09:45] <Hattori> not 5.5.9
[09:45] <Hattori> 5.5.9 is the old one
[09:46] <unop_> Hattori, what does this return?  ls -l ./apache-tomcat-5.5.20

[09:51] <ActionParsnip> kadko: just archive your entire ~/ folder (including hidden files)
[09:51] <unop_> kadko, you can backup the contents of all disks to CD and restore them later on, if thats what you mean?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> kadko: the hidden files are the configs for the programs you use
[09:52] <icesword> how to list file by edit date
[09:52] <kadko> and all the drivers will be saved cuz i worked very hard to make compiaz and my f** ati worked

[10:00] <ubotu> rajesha: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:00] <Icomey> I'm interested in getting gnome-launch-box to start with the <Alt>Space keybinding.
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Icomey: your googling sucks http://developer.imendio.com/node/77
[10:02] <Icomey> I don't see a solution there.
[10:02] <Oprtz> hello there
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> hi Oprtz
[10:02] <Oprtz> just installed ubuntu 7.10, i want to resize the screen resoultion, how to do that?
[10:03] <redwhitewaldo> how can i find a file that was installed in the past 8 hours on my system that has the words fxglx or something like that?
[10:03] <redwhitewaldo> ...it's regarding my ati driver.
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> "I have the key /apps/gnome-launch-box/bindings/activate set to "space" for example, then run launch box in my session with the -n option so it doesn't show the box on startup."
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> redwhitewaldo: sudo find / -name fxglx
[10:04] <Icomey> It doesn't work.
[10:04] <fx|RabBit> how do i get an external monitor working on a laptop?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> Icomey: google as well
[10:04] <redwhitewaldo> ActionParsnip: nothing happens
[10:04] <Icomey> Nevermind.
[10:05] <unop_> redwhitewaldo, find / -iname "*fxglrx*"
[10:05] <DistroJockey> redwhitewaldo: you would be looking for  fglrx
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> redwhitewaldo: you could use a search tool like in windows
[10:05] <redwhitewaldo> DistroJockey: oh, is that the specific file name?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> redwhitewaldo: and type what you wanna search for, the modified date will tell you whats what ;)
[10:06] <DistroJockey> redwhitewaldo: part of it probably.  See    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fglrx
[10:06] <DistroJockey> !fglrx
[10:06] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:07] <sami[work]> Anyone in here good at sudo?

[10:08] <redwhitewaldo> DistroJockey: i gave up on terminal and went to synaptic. i found it: xorg-driver-fglrx
[10:08] <DistroJockey> redwhitewaldo:  find / -name fglrx

[10:09] <ActionParsnip> vido: what cam?
[10:09] <vido> web camera
[10:09] <unop__> redwhitewaldo, so you got your spellings wrong with the find  :)
[10:09] <vido> if you intersting in knowing the speling
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> vido: we can hel pyou configure a webcam, we need to know the make and model
[10:10] <badazz3s__> im so glad dell had a ubuntu dvd
[10:10] <redwhitewaldo> unop__: well, even when i did "sudo find / -iname f", nothing happened. so i don't think it's an issue of wrong spelling

[10:11] <ActionParsnip> vido: what webcam you got?
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> clee-saan: ps -ef
[10:11] <unop__> clee-saan, use ps or the gnome-system-monitor
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> clee-saan: will show the processes
[10:11] <clee-saan> thanks
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> clee-saan: then kill <PID> will kill it
[10:12] <bidget> can anyone help me with my script?
[10:12] <bidget> its a pretty simple one but its not working properly
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> bidget: sup?
[10:12] <bidget> well I installed steam with wine earlier
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> ok
[10:12] <bidget> and I made a launcher to run a little script that I found
[10:12] <bidget> but it doesnt work
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> does the script run but not work or does it not run at all
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> !paste | bidget
[10:13] <ubotu> bidget: 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)
[10:13] <bidget> the script just doesnt work
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> give us a paste of it
[10:13] <bidget> k
[10:13] <bidget> #!/bin/sh (-)
[10:13] <bidget>         cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam

[10:13] <ActionParsnip> bidget: use pastebin in future please
[10:13] <bidget> seems like it should work right?
[10:13] <bidget> oh right sorry
[10:13] <icesword> plz don't flood,use pastebin instead
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> bidget: you don't need the (-) bit at the top
[10:14] <icesword> ubotu, come back ,dude
[10:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about come back ,dude - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:14] <bidget> oh ok well I got this stuff off of a forum
[10:14] <bidget> but I figured yeah since theres the # at the front that its kinda unnecessary
[10:14] <bidget> but I put it in there just in case
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> you could just use wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\Files/Steam/Steam.exe
[10:15] <bidget> oh
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> bidget: remember linux is VERY case sensitive
[10:15] <Musigreg> Bonjour tout le monde
[10:15] <unop__> bidget, have you run the script from a terminal?
[10:15] <DJones> bidget: Do the permissions on the file with the script need changing to make is executable?
[10:15] <bidget> ummm no I havent unop__
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> bidget: you'll also need to chmod +x <scriptname> to make it executable
[10:15] <noob-africa> hi guys... how goes it?
[10:15] <overdub> might try using $HOME instead of ~
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: nb man, you ok?
[10:15] <bidget> I did chmod a+x I think

[10:15] <unop__> Musigreg, Bon Matin .. allez a #ubuntu-fr, svp
[10:16] <noob-africa> i have a problem... my XORG.CONF file keeps reverting to the default configs
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> bidget: i'd check\
[10:16] <noob-africa> i am using the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 video card
[10:16] <Musigreg> Thank you
[10:16] <bidget> well I right clicked it and went to permissions
[10:16] <bidget> annd.....
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> bidget: if you run it from terminal does it give you any error messages?
[10:16] <noob-africa> the driver is supposed to read "nvidia" instead of "nv"
[10:16] <bidget> one sec I'll try it
[10:16] <noob-africa> i have changed it several times, but it keeps going back to "nv"
[10:16] <fx|RabBit> !beamer
[10:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beamer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:16] <noob-africa> can someone explain to me why this is happening?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: did you have admin privs (sudo / gksudo)
[10:17] <bidget> what do I have to do to run a script?
[10:17] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: i edited it with sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: if you dont have admin priveledges the settings wont stick to xorg.conf
[10:17] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: i do have admin privileges
[10:17] <unop__> bidget, just type it's path out .. /path/to/script
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: try sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:18] <bidget> well I tried typing the name but it just said command not found
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> bidget: are you in the same dir as the script?
[10:18] <bidget> yeah
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> then use ./<scriptname> (use tab to autocomplete)
[10:18] <bidget> oh ./
[10:18] <bidget> right
[10:19] <bidget> it says /bin/sh: Can't open (-)
[10:19] <bidget> so I guess that line was screwing it up after all
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> bidget: knock that stuff out then
[10:19] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: thanks... it worked
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: -w = writable
[10:20]  * ActionParsnip polishes his nails on his chest and looks smug :)
[10:20] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: do u know why i am not getting the full range of audio reproduction from my sound card? i am using Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS
[10:20] <bidget> ok I got rid of the line but now steam is giving me a fatal error
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> bidget: here's where I'm lost I dont play games (except emulators)
[10:20] <sami[work]> I want to add a gid to sudoers. Is that possible?
[10:20] <bidget> but it was working up until like 10 minutes ago ahhhh
[10:20] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: the driver is downloaded, but i am not getting the full reproduction from my headset... it's a totally different situation with my laptop
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: let me google, you google too
[10:21] <DistroJockey> bidget: you should have  #!/bin/sh  but not  #!/bin/sh (-)  for scripts
[10:21] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: keyword (s)?
[10:21] <tarelerulz> Do any of you use Ekiga sip phone ?

[10:22] <noob-africa> does anyone in here know how to use LiVES (Linux Video Editing Software)?
[10:22] <DistroJockey> bidget: np, you're welcome
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> noob-africa: this looks good http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/sound-blaster-audigy-2-zs-337513/
[10:22] <noob-africa> i have it installed (.deb) but i dont really have an idea how to use it
[10:23] <noob-africa> ActionParsnip: ty
[10:23] <noob-africa> DistroJockey: hey pal... how u doin?
[10:23] <timo1teo> okay so big problem, i go into screens and graphics and change my graphics driver to ATI Radeon fglrx and i reboot and my screen just goes black it wont go to the desktop
[10:23] <bidget> ok so Im still having a problem
[10:23] <DistroJockey> noob-africa: hey man. Good thanks :)  Yourself?
[10:23] <bidget> if I try and use the launcher it will give me "fatal error: could not load module "bin/gui2.dll"
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> timo1teo: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:24] <bidget> but if I actually manually cd to the folder and go wine Steam.exe it will work just fine
[10:24] <noob-africa> DistroJockey: doing fine... thanks... the weekend is almost here.. lol
[10:24] <redwhitewaldo> ﻿hello, can someone here with a fresh/regular install of ubuntu, please pastebin for me his xorg.conf file? thanks.

[10:24] <timo1teo> action- do i do this in recovery mode?
[10:24] <bidget> umm I dunno actually haha
[10:24] <bidget> but the weird thing is that steam will run properly if I do it manually
[10:24] <bidget> its only if I try and use the script to start it that it gives me the error
[10:24] <noob-africa> anyone knows what is a good video editing software for for Linux?
[10:25] <DistroJockey> bidget: are you still using cd in your script?
[10:25] <bidget> um no I changed it so instead of going cd to the directory I just go wine /opt/windows/drive_c/program\ files\steam\steam.exe
[10:25] <bidget> should I change it back so that its 2 seperate commands?
[10:25] <DistroJockey> bidget: might be related, yeah, may aswell
[10:26] <bidget> hm yeah
[10:26] <bidget> I'll try it and see what happens
[10:26] <timo1teo> action do i do this in root?
[10:26] <timo1teo> because i can't actually get to the desktop
[10:27] <bidget> it works!
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> timo1teo: you do it on a terminal and you'll need your sudo password

[10:37] <redwhitewaldo> Is there such a "XkbLayout" called	"us-dvorak"? or is it just "us"? (Note: i use dvorak)

[10:39] <ubotu> To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> pretty sure us-dvorak exists (should have set it at install)
[10:39] <redwhitewaldo> ActionParsnip: but i was messing around with my xorg.conf thing.
[10:40] <DistroJockey> redwhitewaldo: and you didn't make a backup?!
[10:40] <bradley> hi guyz
[10:40] <redwhitewaldo> DistroJockey: no.
[10:40] <redwhitewaldo> well, i think there is.

[10:41] <DistroJockey> redwhitewaldo: always make a backup, especially when "messing around" ;)

[10:47] <Andycasss> Why does ubuntu include the mounted folder size to hdd's "used space"? Is there any way to turn this feature off?
[10:51] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: As to why: Because they are mounted under / . As to how: If using  du  you can exclude certain folders etc.
[10:53] <Andycasss> DistroJockey: So lets say i mount 70gb of stuff to my ubuntu, and my physical hdd is 80gb large, i can only use 5gb of the physical space??
[10:54] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: if they are separate media, that would not be the case
[10:55] <Andycasss> seperate media? I mount the stuff to my physical hdd
[10:56] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: but the stuff that is mounted is elsewhere I presume? (i.e. a separate drive?)
[10:56] <issa_> hi guys! I need urgent help. I was playing around with my Visual Effects, I selected Zoom Desktop and wanted to sent the initiate button, by a mistake I selected Alt+Button2 and suddenly I am not able to use left click of my mouse! instead, everything I click on, moving the mouse it moves just like when pressing Alt and left click :( I can't get this option back! using tabs and keyboard I opened preferences of Visual effects and deleted the
[10:56] <issa_> action key for zoom desktop but didn't work :(
[10:56] <issa_> How can I restore default keys?
[10:56] <Andycasss> DistroJockey: It is being mounted from network
[10:56] <HeLpEe> i installed windows in f: and then kubuntu in c: . now i cant see windows in grub menu when i boot. when i boot it dont shows me display for first 1 min. (just shows sync, out of range)  then show normal linux booting. whats wrong?
[10:57] <RedScare> wow
[10:57] <RedScare> there are always people in here

[10:58] <spine55> How can i change the console font? Outside of X
 I'll check
[10:59] <Andycasss> DistroJockey: So... I cant use my 80gb of hdd and mount 70gb of stuff on it? I mean, the mounted stuff isnt even "there" really, how can it do that?!
[10:59] <issa_> No there isn't!
[10:59] <RedScare> stupid usplash, sometimes there is just no way to make it look decent
 No there isn't!
[11:00] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: it should work fine
[11:00] <SitUbuntuSit> issa_, join #compiz-fusion
[11:00] <RedScare> There is no spoon.
[11:00] <HeLpEe> i installed windows in f: and then kubuntu in c: . now i cant see windows in grub menu when i boot. when i boot it dont shows me display for first 1 min. (just shows sync, out of range)  then show normal linux booting. whats wrong?
[11:00] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: as you said, it's just a pointer/link/junction
[11:00] <Andycasss> a symlink
 Check your grub menu list, it's found in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:01] <Andycasss> or whatever it was called
[11:01] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: of sorts I guess
[11:01] <HeLpEe> issa_ ya. how can i add windows in it?
[11:01] <DistroJockey> ﻿spine55: In /boot/grub/menu.lst   add   ﻿vga=791   to the end of the kernel line (should do the job)
[11:02] <RedScare> HeLp, do you ever see a list of linux OS's to choose from in grub?
[11:02] <Andycasss> hmm, actually its not symlink, would symbolic link have same phenomena?
[11:02] <SitUbuntuSit> issa_, can you go to Preferences > Reset to Defaults in compiz
 You can add windows to it. I don't remember how exactly, but you can google for it.
[11:02] <issa_> it's easy to be found
 Sure I can
[11:02] <issa_> :)
[11:03] <issa_> Oh! You mean inside the compoz! I thought in System! I searched for a long time for such a button! I'll check again though
[11:03] <issa_> compiz*
[11:03] <DistroJockey> Andycasss: depends on the tool you are using to check free disk space I guess
[11:04] <SitUbuntuSit> issa_, yes in Compiz. You can undo any customizations there.
[11:07] <HeLpEe> issa_ my browser not working
[11:07]  * HeLpEe seeks for someone
[11:08] <HeLpEe> i installed windows in f: and then kubuntu in c: . now i cant see windows in grub menu when i boot. when i boot it dont shows me display for first 1 min. (just shows sync, out of range)  then show normal linux booting. whats wrong?
 Which browser? Install any browser ;)
[11:08] <HeLpEe> issa_ konquerrer
 Thanks :) It works now.
[11:08] <SitUbuntuSit> issa_, great!
 What about firefox?
[11:09] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: f: and c: are not ubuntu terms. Could you please pastebin the output of the following command?:   sudo fdisk -l
[11:09] <HeLpEe> issa_ not working too
[11:09] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok.
[11:10] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey you wont know by that. coz i have 5 fate partisitions.
 Why?
[11:10] <DistroJockey> heh
 install opera.
[11:10] <HeLpEe> issa_ DistroJockey its sda7 that has windows
[11:11] <noob-africa> DistroJockey: i managed to get the sound card working... i used Alsamixer from the terminal... worked super!
[11:11] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: I don't think windows likes being past the first 1024 cylinders
[11:11] <DistroJockey> noob-africa: excellent :)
[11:12] <DistroJockey> !install | HeLpEe
[11:12] <ubotu> HeLpEe: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[11:13] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey  I don't think windows likes being past the first 1024 cylinders  ???/
[11:14] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: if it's installed after cylinder 1024 on the HDD it probably won't work (going from memory here, so I could be wrong. Look it up maybe?)
[11:14] <wica> Hello
[11:14] <gogstad> i can't seem to find a package i universe.. "opencv" to be specific
[11:14] <gogstad> http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/gutsy/opencv
[11:14] <gogstad> any suggestions?
[11:15] <wica> I'm trying to setup a mail server. But can not find anywhere cyrus-imapd/deliver
[11:15] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: sudo aptitude install pastebinit    will install the pastebin that you can pipe ( | ) to if you don't have a browser
[11:15] <wica> And I have install kolab-cyrus-imap
[11:15] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey you mean if you are right. windows should be install in c: only
[11:15] <HeLpEe> ?
[11:15] <MatBoy> doessomeone know a way using netstat -a to print the full Foreign Address ?
[11:15] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey got it . http://pastebin.com/mef9230d
[11:15] <joep> Hello. DOes anybody know how to get ubuntu 7.10 to make sound? The correct module is loaded (emu10k1) and a lot of other modules but aplay says no cards found soundcontrol cannot be opened. It is a standard ubuntu freshly installed. Fedora does sound without a problem.
[11:16] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: yeah, just depends where the c: and f: are on the disk I guess
[11:16] <HeLpEe> http://pastebin.com/mef9230d
[11:16] <MatBoy> joep, ubuntu does even better ;)
[11:16] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok.
[11:17] <joep> Matboy: what do you mean??
[11:17] <MatBoy> joep, the integration of packages in Ubuntu is one of a kind
[11:17] <HeLpEe> can linux be installed on a logical partitions whos primary partition is a fat partition?
[11:18] <joep> MAtboy: meaning it works or it doesn't??
[11:18] <MatBoy> joep, it does, out of the box
[11:18]  * HeLpEe waits for DistroJockey
[11:18] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: try adding this:   http://pastebin.com/m6aeb2e88
[11:19] <joep> Matboy: so not!! As I said although all modules are loaded lplay doesn't recognize the available soundacrds.
 Even if so, why do you need that?
[11:19] <MatBoy> joep, lplay ?
[11:19] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: that's to reference sda7
[11:19] <MatBoy> what soundcard ?
[11:19] <joep> MAttboy: sorry, aplay!
[11:20] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: eek, sec
[11:20] <HeLpEe> issa_ i dont know how to partition my drive to run xp and ububntu in  a good way.
[11:20] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ?
[11:21] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: root          (hd0,6)    < should be that for sda7
[11:21] <aeolist> hi i am trying to install 8.04 daily, i need to resize the ntfs partition what should i answer to "prepare disk space" step 4
[11:21] <aeolist> guided - use entire disk?
[11:22] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok. let me reboot
[11:22] <DistroJockey> aeolist: do you have a complete backup?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[11:22] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: nods
[11:22] <DistroJockey> heyya ActionParsnip
[11:22] <Paavi2_0> aeolist: i wouldn't do it
[11:22] <aeolist> DistroJockey: yeah...
[11:22] <aeolist> you wouldnt do an ntfs resize?
[11:22] <aeolist> i've done it in 6.10 with success...
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> bored at work, its all working fine and Ive got 4 hours to go :(
 Use fat or ntfs for windows, better to have it on C or any first partition on the top, and then install ubuntu using any free space for swap partition (size 2* your memory) and create ext3 for linux, 5GB at least
[11:23] <Schypher_> hi how do i run an application in gnome with elevated permission ?
[11:23] <DistroJockey> aeolist: defrag'd windows?
[11:23] <issa_> That's the best way.
[11:23] <aeolist> not completely... ntfsresize can move file afaik
[11:23] <omnz0r> ActionParsnip:  do rm -rf / :D (don't)
[11:23] <Paavi2_0> aeolist: ntfs-resize i would do - but use the whole disk _not_
[11:23] <jpatrick> omnz0r: please don't type that
[11:23] <DistroJockey> ActionParsnip: ahh, I spend the day at work doing IT support, now I'm here helping where I can :)
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: I know dude. it wont do too much as you dont have admin access
[11:23] <joep> Matboy are you still there?
[11:23] <aeolist> man, i remember that 6.10 asked you to resize the partition, is that option still available in the ubuntu installer?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> sudo rm -rf / is a whole different kettle of fish
[11:24] <aeolist> http://foss.ntua.gr/wiki/images/thumb/Ubuntu_step5.jpg/180px-Ubuntu_step5.jpg
[11:24] <aeolist> like this
[11:24] <DistroJockey> aeolist: not sure, I never do it
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: you could do: yes > ~/bigfile.txt ;)
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> DistroJockey: I keep servers runing overnight for americans
[11:24] <omnz0r> I made a daemon for it, runs all the time
[11:24] <DistroJockey> ActionParsnip: :)
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: or if you want a slow pc: yes > /dev/null ;)
[11:25] <DistroJockey> aeolist: what sort of install cd do you have?
[11:25] <aeolist> i have the hardy-desktop thing
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !hardy | aeolist

[11:25] <DistroJockey> aeolist: maybe  gparted  is worth using first?
[11:26] <aeolist> oook :)
[11:26] <aeolist> gparted it is
[11:26] <DistroJockey> aeolist: probably the best bet
[11:26] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey invalid something....... not working.
[11:26] <aeolist> didnt know gparted had ntfsresize
[11:26] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mound a drive too.
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> DistroJockey: i sit in here too when its dead like this
[11:27] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: can you get the following to pastebin?:  sudo fdisk -l

[11:30] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ..
[11:30] <Rageon> !medibuntu
[11:30] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:30] <Jaymac> morpheus: if you type xmms2 in a terminal does it start?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> aeolist: where in the options please?
[11:30] <morpheus> well ,moment i try it
[11:30] <Ziroday> morpheus: open a terminal and type in xmms or xmms2
[11:30] <morpheus> ok thx moment
[11:30] <aeolist> ActionParsnip: not on pidgin atm sorry
[11:30] <Jaymac> morpheus: if so, just go to System > Preferences > Main Menu and add an entry for it manually...
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> ok cool, i'll google
[11:31] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: what's your pidgin issue?
[11:31] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: personally I'd rebuild the drive :)
[11:31] <Rageon> anyone tell me how i add it please?
[11:31] <Rageon> like the addy?
[11:31] <mattycoze2> hi everyone I'm in real crap right now, can someone please help me to correct a problem with my pc
[11:31] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey why.
[11:31] <Jaymac> Rageon: go to medibuntu.org and follow the instructions
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i have data in 3 fat partitions too.
[11:32] <morpheus> no Jaymac only get a list of avaible commands
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mount sda8 . it says already mounted.
[11:32] <morpheus> no start
[11:32] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: you have 5 bootable fat32 dpartitions?
[11:32] <Ziroday> ﻿Hi, I am having some issues with suspend and the asus eee. After suspending to disk my brightness is turned up to max and I cannot turn it down. As well as network manager refusing to connect to any wireless networks
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey whats wrong
[11:32] <morpheus> does i have to be root?
[11:32] <Jaymac> morpheus: it probably didn't install then, no you don't have to be root
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey dpartitions? they are not bootable i think
[11:32] <Jaymac> morpheus: type sudo aptitude install xmms2
[11:32] <mattycoze2> hey everone; 've turned the pc on and I have to do a fsck and it failed, so now i've been logged into a maintanence shell, what is going on?
[11:33] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: partitions sorry, d was a typo
[11:33] <morpheus> ok thx i try
[11:33] <mallory> hello folks.
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey they are not bootable i think
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey whats wrong
[11:33] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: I could be wrong there
[11:33] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: in the command shell run the command 'fsck'
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mount sda8 . it says already mounted.
[11:34] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: I think the pidgin irc client is quite basic; you'd probably need a plugin to do that.  I'd suggest you try xchat as an alternative IRC client.. It is much more customisable
[11:34] <cpk1> HeLpEe: then see what the output of "mount" says
[11:34] <mattycoze2> Ziroday okay, i am apparently logged in as root and it's doing something now
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: I want to configure pidgi so i dont get themessages about people joining and leaving the room
[11:34] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: can you pastebin the output of the following please?:   mount
[11:34] <mattycoze2> i don't understand why this has happened?
[11:34] <cpk1> HeLpEe: the output of mount should tell you where sda8 is mounted
[11:34] <sebastian> how can i play dvd movies in Ubuntu 7.10? I'm  rather new to linux
[11:34] <DistroJockey> cpk1: hehe, beat me ;)
[11:34] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey The system reported: mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/sda8Raw busy
[11:34] <HeLpEe> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win
[11:34] <Jaymac> !medibuntu | sebastian
[11:34] <ubotu> sebastian: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:34] <mattycoze2> is it fixable? is there a way i can get all my important files off the pc using this shell?
[11:34] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: correct the maintenance shell is a root shell, the command fsck checks your filesystem for errors
[11:34] <morpheus> no it doesnt work i still get a list in the terminal with commands..but xmms1 starts with no problems
[11:35] <cpk1> HeLpEe:  so can you "cd /media/sda7Win"
[11:35] <Jaymac> sebastian: go to medibuntu.org, follow the instructions to enable the repositor.  Then type sudo aptitude install libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 totem-xine
[11:35] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: your system may be working just fine, let fsck finish its job
[11:35] <HeLpEe> cpk1 sda7win is already a seperat partition having windows in it
[11:35] <mattycoze2> okay then thanks Ziroday, i'll keep you posted
[11:35] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /media/sda7Win is not an actual physical drive
[11:35] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: and can you read it?
[11:36] <HeLpEe> cpk1 yes. its not
[11:36] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: no worries, has happened to me before and it is not fun ")
[11:36] <morpheus> no it doesnt work i still get a list in the terminal with commands..but xmms1 starts with no problems
[11:36] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey i can read sda7
[11:36] <morpheus> so what can i do?
[11:36] <cpk1> HeLpEe: so can you cd to /media/sda7Win and read it?
[11:36] <Rageon> how do i know whut version of ubuntu im running plz?
[11:36] <sebastian> Jaymac: thank you very much!
[11:36] <Rageon> i have a console handy
[11:36] <HeLpEe> cpk1 i want to mount both seperatily
[11:37] <cpk1> Rageon: 2$ lsb_release -a
[11:37] <Heroin> urm
[11:37] <cpk1> Rageon: err lsb_release -a
[11:37] <Rageon> it usually uname or something
[11:37] <zybil> hello
[11:37] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey i want to mount both seperatily
[11:37] <Rageon> 2.6.22-14-generic #1
[11:37] <Rageon> what version is this pls?
[11:38] <popey> Rageon: use lsb_release -a
[11:38] <Rageon> herron?
[11:38] <cpk1> Rageon: uname will tell you your kernel, if you want the ubuntu version run lsb_release -a
[11:38] <popey> Rageon: uname only shows the kernel version, not the version of ubuntu
[11:38] <Jaymac> Rageon: cat /etc/issue or lsb_release -a
[11:38] <Rageon> ok just sounded like a dodgey command :s
[11:38] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: not sure what you mean by both and separately
[11:38] <Ziroday> Rageon: the uname * commands tell you your kernel version. lsb_release -a tells you what version of ubunut
[11:38] <Rageon> gutsy, ok cool thanks guys
[11:39] <zybil> i have a big problem. accidently i put on xdmcp and i dont know how to activate the gdm again. in gdm.conf xdmcp login is typed to "false". So whats the deal please? I dont have a clue, using lynx to find out how to change the login is so hard i find..
[11:39] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /dev/sda7 is not the same as /media/sda7Win what exactly are you trying to do? get sda7 and sda8 both to mount?
[11:39] <morpheus> ok iam in the mainmenue but how i can find the xmms2 entry?? or the file like exe??
[11:41] <HeLpEe> cpk1 yes. i want them mounted separatly.
[11:41] <HeLpEe> cpk1 The system reported: mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/sda8Raw busy
[11:41] <HeLpEe> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win%
[11:41] <DistroJockey> morpheus: try pressing   Alt+F2   and type in   xmms2
[11:42] <zumbi> !hi
[11:42] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:42] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey this is the problem. mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win9
[11:42] <zumbi> whom should i ask for help on cooperation with third world countries?
[11:43] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: nods. Maybe  sudo umount /mnt/whatever  and  re  mount  as needed?
[11:43] <morpheus> no doesnt work..no action..only xmms1 can be opend
[11:43] <Rageon> hey jaymac u still there dude?
[11:43] <cpk1> HeLpEe: can you please give us the correct location for /dev/sda8 you have given us 3 different mount points for it from mount so far. here is an abbreviated version of what you need to do: unmount sda8 and then make a directory for sda8 and then sda7 and mount both of them in the directory you want
[11:43] <morpheus> but i have the problem with other aplications too
[11:44] <archman> hi, im trying to install hydrogen and when i ./configure i get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62706/; i tried putting /usr/sbin/qt to path and other variations, but it's always the same...help!

[11:45] <mattycoze2> Ziroday = legend
[11:45] <GuySoft> hey all, does anyone here know why the ubuntu asks for the CD when installing the pptp-linux package?
[11:45] <mattycoze2> thanks man it all worked
[11:45] <Jaymac> w32codecs and gstreamer probably
[11:46] <cpk1> HeLpEe: if you have trouble doing those 3 steps I gave you, we can help you with correct, specific commands IF you give us *correct* specific information
[11:46] <Rageon> kk
[11:46] <Jaymac> Rageon: I know that if you go to Applications > Add/Remove Programs and do a search for gstreamer you can find all the plugins for that there
[11:46] <Rageon> the w32 codecs are non free tho?
[11:46] <Schypher_> hello
[11:46] <Jaymac> Rageon: just remember to click show all available
[11:46] <holomodus> GuySoft: do you have it checked off in your Software Sources?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> GuySoft: disable the cd as a repository
[11:46] <solar_george> has anyone got one of these http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=47XB I need to know if it work with ubuntu before buying
[11:47] <Jaymac> Rageon: most visual codecs are non free.  Only install them if it's legal in your country :)
[11:47] <GuySoft> ActionParsnip, ill try
[11:47] <GuySoft> however i think it sill wants the cd
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: I have that exact thing
[11:47] <Schypher_> how do i elevate permission when launching some application from the gnome
[11:47] <Schypher_> xwindow
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: works out of the box dude
[11:47] <Rageon> how am i being charged if theyre non free and legal in my country tho?
[11:48] <Jaymac> Rageon: non-free means that they are proprietary, not that you have to pay money for them
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: its sweet but not great for games I've found (maybe its my batteries)
[11:48] <Rageon> mk
 thanks, i'll order one as soon as i've got the money
[11:48] <cpk1> Rageon: non-free as in free speech not free beer
[11:48] <Jaymac> Rageon: non-free means that the source code isn't available :)
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: i dont game much so it suits me great. less things to loose ;)
[11:48] <zybil> hello. can anyone tell me how to put of xdmcp-login and put on gdm normal user login??
[11:48] <Rageon> theres a whole list in /pool/non-free/w/w32codecs which one do i need?
[11:48] <Jaymac> it's one of the problems in the English language - Romance languages have two words :)
[11:48] <Rageon> koz i have everything but this and it doesnt work
[11:49] <Jaymac> Rageon, enable the repository and just type sudo aptitude install w32codecs
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: not so much the german then ;) ICH LEIBER DICH!
[11:49] <shivamib> Rageon: FOR THE WIN
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: or sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:49] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: it's Ich leibe dich :)
[11:49] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: aptitude is encouraged over apt-get usually
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> sp
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: why?
 yeah the same and I don't like working at a desk so i keep dropping my kbd and mouse
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: then you'll love it
[11:51] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey where can i see the boot logs (saved somewhere?). i think i saw a problem in that.
[11:51] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: maybe it isn't relevant now, but it used to deal with dependencies a lot better
[11:51] <cpk1> HeLpEe: your problem is a partition will not mount, correct?
[11:51] <Rageon> i have totem installed when i goto install totem-xine, it says its going to uninstall gstreamer
[11:51] <HeLpEe> cpk1 i think so..
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: Ive never had an issue with apt-get. i always use the command line. stupid adept / synaptic just clutter stuff up
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 its solved now. i think
[11:52] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: I use aptitude on the commandline :)
[11:52] <cpk1> HeLpEe: well, either it mounted or it didnt
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 it is now
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey where can i see the boot logs (saved somewhere?). i think i saw a problem in that.
[11:53] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: dmesg   maybe?
[11:53] <Rageon> video still doesnt work comes up with plugin missing
[11:53] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /var/log/syslog but warnings in there arent necessarily problems
[11:54] <eleftherios> does anyone know of any companies that offer ubuntu dedicated servers that are like Rackspace? (e.g. very good SLAs, very reliable)?
[11:54] <eleftherios> Rackspace offers only redhat so it is not an option
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: what country?
[11:55] <eleftherios> USA
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: http://www.m5hosting.com/ubuntu-dedicated-server.php
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: 3 seconds googling time
[11:55] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey those are not boot logs..
[11:55] <Rageon> anyone?
[11:56] <eleftherios> ActionParsnip: I have found plenty on Google too. I was asking about people who could recommend companies that are like rackspace.
[11:56] <eleftherios> with five 9s of uptime guaranteed etc
[11:56] <icesword> ActionParsnip, any idea if dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't give me options to configure my graphic card and screen resolutions and refresh rate ?
[11:56] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey are they?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: i have no idea of that, sorry. Read some reviews
[11:57] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: for certain things, yes.  Maybe take a look in    ﻿/var/log
[11:57] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey ok
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> icesword: do you have your graphics driver installed
[11:57] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey gtg brb, thanks!
[11:57] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: np, good luck
[11:57] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /var/log/syslog includes boot messages but if the log fills up the top part will be overwritten to make space for the new logging...
[11:57] <DistroJockey> snap
[11:57] <cpk1> alright then
[11:58] <eleftherios> ActionParsnip: please read the questions before talking and giving redundant answers by pointing out obvious things. Don't just talk to talk.
[11:58] <icesword> ActionParsnip, sure,it is in vmware
[11:58] <eleftherios> bye
[11:59] <bastid_raZor> icesword; you have ubuntu installed in vmware?
[12:01] <icesword> the answer is yes
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> what a jackass, i said sorry
[12:01] <bastid_raZor> icesword; you are not going to get desktop effects in vmware.
[12:01] <odinriiko> How do I set a static ip for a wireless ap that has no encryption?
[12:01] <icesword> bastid_raZor, sure,i know,i don't care
[12:02] <bastid_raZor> icesword; oh, i thought that is what you were trying to accomplish.. :\
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> odinriiko: you can manuallyedit /etc/networking/interfaces (with admin) or use network manager
[12:02] <cpk1> odinriiko: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[12:02] <icesword> bastid_raZor, no worries
[12:03] <cpk1> odinriiko: or do "sudo ifconfig wifi0 192.168.1.1 up" replacing wifi0 with the actual interface and the ip with what you want of course
[12:03] <shaiguitar> hi all. i've been having serious trouble with ruby + gems on my ubuntu (gutsy gibbon) ... i can install things but nothing seems to work. i'm looking to start afresh, take everything down and do it from the start. can anyone provide a link to this? much appreciated.
[12:03] <shaiguitar> maybe from source even
[12:04] <odinriiko> cpkl will that stick through reboots?
[12:04] <shaiguitar> s/serious//
[12:04] <shaiguitar> but still
[12:05] <fsd> hi, is there a tray for gnome that shows the wifi status?
[12:05] <fsd> interactively
[12:05] <cpk1> odinriiko: no, but editing /etc/network/interfaces will, or if you were lazy you could copy what I gave you and put it in /etc/rc.local but then you would need to use the absolute path to ifconfig, the correct way would be to edit /etc/network/interfaces =P
[12:06] <Toroa-lala> Hey, I have removed phpmyadmin from my webserver using "apt-get remove phpmyadmin", "apt-get autoremove" and "apt-get clean". Now when I reinstall it (using apt-get), /etc/phpmyadmin is empty (I deleted the folder after removing phpmyadmin). Has anybody a solution?
[12:06] <ricanelite> is there a way when i connect my ipod to my computer via usb instead of opening music player it will open up Banshee by default?
[12:07] <DistroJockey> fsd: google gave me this, maybe it's worth a look?:  http://roscidus.com/desktop/WiFi
[12:09] <icesword> ricanelite, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto
[12:10] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala: That isn't the default phpmyadmin directory?
[12:10] <Stormx2> Oh bleh, it is.
[12:11] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala, apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin ?
[12:11] <Toroa-lala> Stormx2: It is the directory phpmyadmin package installs .. it is created when i install phpmyadmin
[12:11] <Stormx2> ricanelite: Those settings are handled by gconf. alt + f2. Type gconf-editor and hit enter
[12:11] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala, so I see. sudo apt-get remove --purse phpmyadmin
[12:12] <Toroa-lala> Stormx2: I'll give purge a try :)
[12:12] <Stormx2> I only have a few files in /etc/phpmyadmin in my installation
[12:12] <Stormx2> just a few config files. The meat of the installation is in /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[12:14] <Toroa-lala> Stromx2: It was the config file i was missing .. but --pruge solved it. Thanks :)
[12:15] <b0x> anyone know, with remote desktop if i can set it to auto accept people when thay try login, so it doesent pop up with "refuse" or "allow"?
[12:15] <fsd> Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
[12:15] <fsd> i get this while trying to install build-essential
[12:15] <fsd> any clues?
[12:15] <b0x> press Y
[12:15] <b0x> and enter
[12:15] <fsd> it asks for the cd
[12:15] <b0x> put the CD in
[12:15] <b0x> is it even on the CD?
[12:16] <b0x> u might need to change the source of the file
[12:16] <b0x> in some option
[12:16] <Stormx2> b0x: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[12:16] <fsd> i want to download the pkg from the internet
[12:16] <b0x> oh
[12:16] <b0x> that was eazy
[12:16] <Stormx2> fsd: try doing a "sudo apt-get update" first.
[12:16] <b0x> how silly of me
[12:16] <b0x> thank u
[12:16] <FloodBot2> b0x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:16] <Stormx2> no prob.
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> I hate getting unauthenticated updates, is there any way to clear those out of the update manager?    I got some of ghostscript-x libgs8 and screenlets
[12:17] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, are you using third-party repositories?
[12:17] <Stormx2> i.e. non-ubuntu ones.
[12:17] <fsd> no it doesn't fix the cd asking
[12:17] <Joth> I'm trying to get dual monitors to work with BigDesktop - it works on the login screen, but after I've logged in it just shows the same on both monitors rather than combining them. Any ideas?
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2, are those backports?
[12:17] <DistroJockey> fsd: in your list of repositories, # out the cd/dvd lines
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> I thought those were commented out
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> let me check
[12:18] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, pastebin your sources.list
[12:18] <Lifeisfunny> ok
[12:18] <Stormx2> fsd: That's pretty odd. You opened a terminal and did "sudo apt-get update" right? And it completed, no errors?
[12:19] <simmerz> i've done an update this morning and i now can't start firefox or thunderbird
[12:20] <Stormx2> simmerz, What ubuntu version?
[12:20] <simmerz> gutsy
[12:20] <Stormx2> simmerz, have you tried running firefox from a terminal to see if it spits out errors?
[12:20] <simmerz> it doesn't do anything at all
[12:20] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2,     http://pastebin.ca/979437
[12:21] <Stormx2> It just finishes, right there?
[12:21] <Stormx2> The command does nothing?
[12:21] <simmerz> hmm, tb starts ok now following a reinstall but spits out: recurrence tweaking exception:TypeError: baseDuration has no properties
[12:21] <simmerz> firefox just hangs
[12:21] <fsd> hi, is there a tray for gnome that shows the wifi status?
[12:21] <cpk1> fsd: please pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:22] <fsd> i fixed the cdrom problem
[12:22] <fsd> onward
[12:22] <fsd> s
[12:22] <simmerz> Stormx2: oh, its just started as well now. no idea what was playing up before, but a reinstall of both packages seems to have resolved it
[12:22] <NekoKun> how do I block remote access from a user?
[12:22] <cmwt> I am looking for a good portable hd to boot linux from...  apparently seagate free agent doesn't work well..
[12:22] <cmwt> any suggestion will be appreciated
[12:22] <jon_high9000> hi there. i have Ubuntu 7.10 and have been trying to get ffmpeg to work. i have been getting the "corrupted" file error each time. should i try something else?
[12:22] <NekoKun> actually, how to block remote access with root but allow users to sudo?
[12:23] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  you mean block ssh access?
[12:23] <NekoKun> yes
[12:23] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny: You have some extra repos. The launchpad and medibuntu repos aren't there by default, and may require you to install a key to authenticate them
[12:23] <Ziroday> cmwt: and drive that is bigger than 1GB is enough to hold a install of ubuntu
[12:23] <Lifeisfunny> ahh, ok
[12:23] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  check the ssh server docs. thers dozens of options in there.
[12:23] <Stormx2> If you find the pages that told you how to add the lines to sources.list, they'll also tell you how to add the keys.
[12:23] <cpk1> NekoKun: if you dont want ssh to be used you can just turn it off
[12:24] <NekoKun> no, I don't want ROOT connecting, but there are sudo users that I want them to use
[12:24] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  I set up ssh where only the local lap ips are allowed.
[12:24] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  thats 2 different things. :) you can disallow root to ssh in.   then theusers have to ssh in, and trhen use sudo
[12:24] <binarical-app> NekoKun: you can always tell who is loged into your server with the :who command
[12:24] <cpk1> well on a normal ubuntu system there isnt really any reason to even have root setup
[12:25] <cmwt> Ziroday: I am not concern about the capacity.. free agent doesn't support linux well... it has some weird circuitry...
[12:25] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: that's what I want
[12:25] <Dr_willis> I thought root login was disabled by default anyway in the default sshd config
[12:25] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  check the sshd configs. Its in there.
[12:25] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: Dude log in then ask for sudo powers
[12:25] <NekoKun> -_-' I'm feeling like talking with Java programmers...
[12:25] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2, well let me say it this way,  I get the updates registered in the manager I get that little window when fixing to install them that says the aren't authenitcated and may allow malicious processes,
[12:25] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  Yes.. thats very doable..
[12:25] <Ziroday> cmwt: then what are you looking for?, any regular thumb drive or portable hdd will do
[12:26] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, yep.
[12:26] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: In any easy/simple/quick/explainable way?
[12:26] <binarical-app> NekoKun: when a user logs in remotly via ssh, their password is the equivilant of the root password, not the actual server root password
[12:26] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  of course by default with ubuntu root has no passwordand thus cant login directoy
[12:26] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  go READ the sshd config file :)
[12:26] <DistroJockey> cmwt: I don't like the Seagate Freeagnets much, the WD passports would probably be what I would go for
[12:26] <binarical-app> NekoKun: you can change permissions in /etc/groups
[12:26] <cmwt> Ziroday: I have windows laptop... I just want to dual boot linux from external hd..
[12:26] <Lifeisfunny> well I find that odd cause sometimes I'm refused the update and now I have it but am warned
[12:26] <Dr_willis> sshd config --> PermitRootLogin yes
[12:26] <Dr_willis> or No. :)
[12:27] <Lifeisfunny> weird,  I guess I don't fully understand the software
[12:27] <Ziroday> cmwt: I think I have lost you sorry, what is your exact question?
[12:27] <Lifeisfunny> alrighty, thanks anyways
[12:27] <eax> Hello :) Can anyone tell me how to change the default media player from Totem to VLC?
[12:27] <cmwt> DistroJockey, I only find out free agent doesn't work well with linux after I bought it..
[12:28] <DistroJockey> cmwt: does happen, sorry to hear :(
[12:28] <NekoKun> how do I save n quit visudo O.o?
[12:28] <NekoKun> mmm
[12:28] <cmwt> Ziroday.. I want to dual boot linux on external hd but seagate free agent doesn't work well.. so I am looking for what other options I have... wd.. maxtor ?
[12:28] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  same as in vi.
[12:28] <NekoKun> it is a joe editor
[12:29] <cmwt> my original question might not be clear...
[12:29] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  esc :wq for vi.  as for joe editor. No idea.
[12:29] <Ziroday> cmwt: any generic drive will do :)
[12:29] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: ^K X
[12:29] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  like i need to know how to use joe :)
[12:30] <cmwt> Ziroday, that's what I thought... so I picked up this on sale hd only $110 for 250G
[12:30] <cmwt> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seagate+freeagent+linux&btnG=Google+Search
[12:30] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: Information isn't is enough
[12:30] <cmwt> sorry.. I mean http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/seagate-freeagent-drives-not-down-with-linux/
[12:31] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  Huh?
[12:31] <jon_high9000> I realize you folks are very busy this morning. i will try the Ubuntu forums and possibly get back to you later today if necessary.
[12:31] <DistroJockey> cmwt: those get hot too
[12:31] <Lainy> I'm trying to set my font as terminus, which I already installed through apt-get install console-terminus. But the font Terminus doesn't show up in the gnome-terminal profile settings.. Thanks.
[12:32] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: nevermind :p
[12:32] <Ziroday> cmwt: ah when I say generic drive, I just mean one that can be used for simply trasfering files no other fancy utilities, you could try reformatting the seagate to get rid of whatever was on there beforehand, but I don' t think you will be able to get it back
[12:32] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  terminus is a font for the CONSOLE not X.
[12:32] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  at least i think it is :)
[12:32] <Lainy> Dr_willis: so not even for a console emulator?
[12:33] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  gnome-terminal is a 'terminal' emulator. its not the console.
[12:33] <eax> How can I make ubuntu play files by default in VLC and not Totem or Rhytmbox..?
[12:33] <Lainy> Dr_willis: Ahh okay. Thanks.
[12:33] <Dr_willis> the console uses a different font format then X does.
[12:33] <Lainy> i see
[12:34] <bastid_raZor> eax; system>preferences>preferred applications
[12:34] <Heroin> http://www.irssi.org/themefiles/screwer.png <-- which font is that?
[12:34] <m-p-b> hi, where do i get help on the evolution email client ?
[12:34] <eax> bastid_raZor: I tried that, but it doesn't work :( I select Custom and write "vlc" but it doesn't work :(
[12:35] <bastid_raZor> eax; or you could right click the file type and select open with .. then tell it to use that app everytime for that file type.
[12:35] <anev> i have just shared out a folder using NFS nad im trying to mount it on a windows xp client - it requests a username/passwd but it won't accept anything even when i create a new user?
[12:36] <eax> bastid_raZor: Trying that now :) It works :D
[12:36] <m-p-b> anyhow if someone knows how i fix this, i'd be delighted ... i can see that there are mails in the inbox, yet they are not listed at the right as they are supposed to. that goes as well for 'sent' and 'draft' i can tell by the number that they are there, but they are not available for read
[12:37] <pjv> i need a program to backup my internal HD in my pc to a external usb HD, around 300GB worth of files and folders, what can i use to do this?
[12:37] <Dr_willis> anev,  you got a XP NFS Client?  Spiffy.
[12:37] <anev> Dr_willis: i assumed it was built in?
[12:37] <Dr_willis> anev,  err... You sure you aint trying to use samba/network neighborhood ? and not nfs?
[12:38] <anev> Dr_willis: oh perhaps actually. are there any nfs clients for winxp you'd recommend?
[12:38] <wapko> Heroin: try running xfontsel in a terminal. that way you can get the proper long font name you would use to get that font. and i bet that is aterm .. you can give it the name of the font to use with the parameter -fn
[12:38] <Dr_willis> anev,  if you are wanting to use samba - you install the samba pacakage, give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and of course make some shares.
[12:38] <Dr_willis> anev,  ive never used/found a NFS client for windows.. I hear one or 2 exist. but not tried the,
[12:38] <anev> ah ok, np.
[12:39] <jatt> xfontsel is a pain in the neck :)
[12:39] <wapko> indeed
[12:39] <Heroin> wapko: i dont understand
[12:40] <tommmied> Hello, I have an nvidia 6200 card and i am having trouble getting it to work correctly.  I have followed all the instructions on the web but i can't seem to get this to work
[12:41] <Heroin> whats the aterm font?
[12:42] <tommmied> I installed the the nvidia-glx-new driver and restarted.  Once I it restarted I got a prompt before it loaded into gnome: "Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly..."
[12:43] <SamSamSam_> How do I change my login and system password??
[12:43] <Dr_willis> tommmied,   i normally backup my xorg.conf, and run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' after installing the drivers.
[12:43] <m-p-b> ok works now
[12:43] <erUSUL> SamSamSam_: System,>Preferences>Users and Groups
[12:44] <tommmied> Dr_willis, I have done that already and still nothing :-(
[12:44] <SamSamSam_> erUSUL: I have no users and groups under preferences :O(
[12:44] <Dr_willis> tommmied,  bummer. you sure that card needed the nvidia-glx-new? and not the normal nvidia-glx?
[12:44] <erUSUL> SamSamSam_: system>Admin sorry
[12:45] <bazhang> tommmied: what about sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? tried that yet
[12:45] <sfs> someone tell me the name of the codecs pkg
[12:45] <tommmied> Dr_willis, I used the system>administration>restricted
[12:45] <Heroin> wapko: can you tell me the fontname of aterm.. default one?
[12:45] <tommmied> and it did the downloading, and used the the new driver
[12:45] <sfs> multimedia codecs
[12:46] <tommmied> so I automatically assumed...
[12:46] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras sfs has many of them also check out medibuntu repos for more
[12:46] <Dr_willis> tommmied,  it does the same thing basicially. I just do it from the terminal. If it says use the new - guess it looked it up in some database.
[12:46] <erUSUL> sfs: ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[12:46] <wapko> Heroin: i actually dont know the name of the default one.
[12:46] <tommmied> Dr_willis, Yea i did it both ways actually
[12:46] <tommmied> none worked
[12:46] <Heroin> wapko: can you check for me w. fn i dont have aterm installed
[12:46] <tommmied> bazhang, I did not do the sudo dpkg
[12:47] <tommmied> i thought sudo nvidia-xconfig handled that
[12:47] <SamSamSam_> Thank you erUSUL :OD
[12:47] <bazhang> tommmied: worth a shot; answer the default if you do not know some of the answers though
[12:48] <bazhang> tommmied: if that still does not work then we can look at the xorg.conf and try editing manually
[12:48] <tommmied> To be honest, I did that in the very beginning.  That gets my desktop to look normal but it is very sluggish
[12:48] <bazhang> tommmied: pastebin your xorg.conf then please
[12:49] <tommmied> sure, do you want my current one? Or the one where i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[12:49] <tommmied> sure
[12:49] <bazhang> best to do it after the reconfigure; up to you really
[12:49] <wapko> Heroin: i start my aterm with -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15  .. thats the format for font selection..
[12:50] <wapko> Heroin: and you can customize it with xfontsel. so you can choose your own. but you cant use that for say gnome-terminal
[12:50] <tommmied> bazhang, here is my latest one: http://pastebin.com/m3e397ee3
[12:51] <bazhang> tommmied: what resolution are you aiming for? there are an awful lot of modelines in that xorg.conf
[12:52] <tommmied> haha, thats because I went a little overboard on the selection
[12:52] <bazhang> hehe 1792x1344 ;]
[12:53] <tommmied> but that shouldn't effect whats happening?
[12:54] <bazhang> have to step away for a few; back shortly ;]
[12:54] <Dr_willis> Heroin,  for xterm i tend to use     xterm -sb -sl 2000 -bg '#111111' -fg green -fn 10x20
[12:54] <bastid_raZor> the 6200 doesn't support that high of a resolution
[12:54] <gullstad> Is it possible to make a folder have a max-size? So it cant be used more then the set size?
[12:54] <tparcina> which program should I use to send FAX?
[12:54] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, you think that can be causing the problem?
[12:55] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  never seen that done befor. There are user quota things you could use. but not seen that for a specific directory.
[12:55] <tparcina> hylafax is to complicated, sicne I need to send one FAX page every month
[12:55] <gullstad> Dr_willis: Oki. Thanks anyways :)
[12:55] <tparcina> I need to fax OO.o and PDF documents
[12:55] <gullstad> Dr_willis: How does the user quote work anyways?
[12:56] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; to be on the safe side get rid of all the sizes the 6200 doesn't support.. 1280x1024 may be the max.. not sure but you could google to find out.
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  its possible theres some 'fuse' feature/thing that can do it
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  no idea. I never use it. :)
[12:56] <annonymouse> hi, my ubuntu box keeps crashing i think it might be over heating its a laptop,  how do i access a system log to see why it keeps turning itself off
[12:56] <sinbox> is there a GUI archive manager for the 7zip that you get from add/remove and how would I get it up?
[12:56] <tommmied> ok let me try that and come back
[12:56] <gullstad> Dr_willis: "fuse"?
[12:56] <Dr_willis> !fuse | gullstad
[12:56] <ubotu> gullstad: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  only one of the most amazing bits of software out for linux. :)
[12:57] <gullstad> Dr_willis: I'll check it out. Thanks alot :)
[12:58] <SitUbuntuSit> next to frozen-bubbles, Dr_willis
[12:59] <sriramoman> how do we use nokia phone as usb drive in ubuntu?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  with the wifes phone she plugs it in with the special phone-usb cable. and has to go into the phones menus and enable usb-device/drive mode.
[13:00] <geek> the drive my ubuntu install's in seems to have run out of space... i tend to save everything to another partition, so any pointers on where i should look to clear space?
[13:00] <sriramoman> Dr_willis, i have that cable and i connected it. and enabled the mode, but it didnt work?
[13:00] <sriramoman> did u install anything seperate?
[13:01] <annonymouse> my ubuntu box keeps crashing i think it might be over heating its a laptop,  how do i access a system log to see why it keeps turning itself off
[13:01] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  nope.
[13:01] <sriramoman> ok thanx. i'll check again, anyway.
[13:02] <annonymouse> sriramoman:  which nokia is it?
[13:02] <sriramoman> nokia 6233
[13:02] <tparcina> can someone please recommend me how to FAX one page from Ubuntu
[13:03] <bastid_raZor> annonymouse; honesty i've never heard of ubuntu shutting itself off.. i would say your laptop is overheating and the bios is causing it to shutoff.
[13:03] <geek> never mind, found it
[13:03] <cder> does line say the xp cd rom is the cd-rom drive or/ 'file:/home/cc/iso-images/WindowsXP-SP2/image.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
[13:03] <geek> tparcina: have a fax modem (to start with)?
[13:03] <tparcina> geek: yes, I have fax modem in my laptop  HP nc6320
[13:04] <annonymouse> bastid_raZor:  it spits out some lines but i  cant write it to quickly under windoze it never did it ever
[13:04] <Rabbitbunny> Where would I set my hdparm setting for longevity? it's not etc/hdparm.conf as indicated by the manpage.
[13:04] <tommmied> Nope no luck
[13:04] <tparcina> geek: I have heard about hylafax, but it's to complicated to be used for FAX-ing one page per month
[13:04] <b0x> when i installl shit, where is it ment to show up in ubuntu? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:05] <geek> tparcina: i guess
[13:05] <bastid_raZor> annonymouse; /var/log may hold some logfiles that could help
[13:05] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: children present. clean it up.
[13:05] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, it didn't work
[13:05] <annonymouse> sound thank u bastid_raZor
[13:05]  * geek can't think of anything off hand that would work anyway
[13:05] <tparcina> geek: can you please recommend me some program that I can use? the one that isn't to complicated
[13:06] <cder> is this cd-rom in my dirve?? this is the lne 'file:/home/cc/iso-images/WindowsXP-SP2/image.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
[13:06] <b0x> when i installl programs, where is it ment to show up? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:06] <geek> tparcina: can't think of one right now ><
[13:06] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; what did you use to take them out? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[13:06] <sriramoman> how do i chk the md5sum of a cd in commandline?
[13:07] <sriramoman> (i dont mean iso image)
[13:07] <tommmied> bastid_raZor,   no I just manually edited the xorg.conf
[13:07] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; what is the card doing? or not doing .. for that matter
[13:07] <b0x> anyone?
[13:07] <b0x> when i installl programs, where is it ment to show up? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:07] <bastid_raZor> sriramoman; man md5sum
[13:08] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  you run md5sum on the /dev/cdrom or whatever device
[13:08] <annonymouse> think i might be being hacked
[13:08] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: THat's going to depend on the package you installed. I would doubt lynx or top have a menu entry.
[13:08] <sriramoman> ok
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> ppL
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> k'k
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> :P
[13:08] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, right before gnome loads it says that  your screen and graphics card could not be deteceted correctly

[13:11] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, sure h.o
[13:12] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: open a terminl and try 'man deluge'
[13:12] <Rabbitbunny> or just get rtorrent...
[13:12] <b0x> yup
[13:12] <b0x> wats rtorrent
[13:13] <sriramoman> can i use my debian etch dvds as repos for ubuntu gutsy gibbon?
[13:13] <Rabbitbunny> does the manpage come up?
[13:13] <monzie|home> Hi all
[13:13] <Rabbitbunny> sriramoman: No.
[13:13] <monzie|home> I had an existing installation of XP + Ubuntu
[13:13] <monzie|home> I erased XP and put vista
[13:13] <bastid_raZor> b0x; deluge would be listed under applications>internet .. if not you could easily add it.. the path will be /usr/bin/deluge
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: Does the manpage come up?
[13:14] <monzie|home> Now I am unable to get back to my Ubuntu partition. Help please
[13:14] <b0x> yes
[13:14] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  since ubuntu is not debian. No.
[13:14] <b0x> im downloading rtorrent
[13:14] <monzie|home> I installed Vista on /dev/sda1
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> type deluge then. yay.
[13:14] <monzie|home> my swap is /dev/sda2 and Ubuntu ext3 part is /dev/sda3
[13:14] <b0x> how do i run the program tho
[13:14] <b0x> once its installeD?
[13:14] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, nothing in my xsessions-error file but xorg log is here: http://pastebin.com/m2e50f29d
[13:14] <monzie|home> I booted the computer using the Ubuntu livecd, mounted and chrooted into /dev/sda3 and did a grub-install /dev/sda
[13:14] <monzie|home> it said "stage1 not read correctly"
[13:15] <monzie|home> I rebooted the system to find out that grub had not been installed at all
[13:15] <monzie|home> an someone please tell me how to fix this? I know if i install Ubuntu again, it will recognize my vista partition
[13:15] <monzie|home> but i want to retain my current Ubuntu install
[13:15] <DJones> !grub | monzie|home
[13:15] <ubotu> monzie|home: 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
[13:15] <hsuh> when i unmount pendrives from ubuntu/linux the 'light' doesn't turn off like it does on windows.. anyone knows why?
[13:15] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: type it's name in a terminal, find it in a menu where bastid_raZor suggested it would be or add it to a menu yourself.
[13:15] <Dr_willis> monzie|home,  befor doing the chroot  you must setup the /dev/ and some other place properly on the to-be-chrooted-filesystem  Check  the bot factoid
[13:15] <Saint`Dia> Well, I just replaced Vista with Ubuntu, seems to be working alright.
[13:15] <gNewPower> Hi, I have a Xubuntu/XFCE question: I have Firefox on my top taskbar, and I can add various applets.  But I have not found a way to add an *application* (like say, Epiphany).  Where is the menu which allows me to add applications to this bar?
[13:16] <b0x> so is that all i do
[13:16] <hsuh> gNewPower: add a launcher
[13:16] <b0x> just write the program into terminal
[13:16] <b0x> and it opens?
[13:16] <b0x> cause rtorrent opend
[13:16] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  right click on the panel, its in the menus.
[13:16] <LadyNikon> so.. I deleted the bottom panel in gnome thinking that my adesklet launcher would handle the lowering of the application..
[13:16] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, doesn't look like any errors were reported
[13:16] <yandy> Sorry,Could you describe your problem again,I just come in
[13:16] <gNewPower> hsuh: ok. let me try that
[13:16] <LadyNikon> they just disappear.. how do i get that bottom bar back?
[13:16] <lijinji> hello
[13:16] <hsuh> gNewPower: if thats what you mean.. do you want to type the command?
[13:17] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  under gnome/kde you can just drag/drop from the k/gnome menu which makes them MUCH nicer in that area.  its an annoying limit in xfce's panels i think
[13:17] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: Yup.
[13:17] <gNewPower> hsuh: it worked, I just added XMMS, but I could not add the icon
[13:18] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  some how you can set the icon. :)
[13:18] <gNewPower> hsuh: I just found the menu.
[13:18] <hsuh> hm.. you have to track the icon.. probably on /usr/share/pixmaps/..
[13:18] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: just found it, thanks!
[13:19] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; the only thing i'm seeing as odd is Bad V_BIOS checksum
[13:19] <tommmied> yikes
[13:20] <Saint`Dia> wtf is up with these conexant dial up modem drivers that only let you get 14K unless you pay.
[13:20] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, I can't do anything about that?
[13:20] <joep> OK. Ik ben weer terug. systeem opnieuw gestart maar nog steeds geen geluid en aplay kan nog steeds geen cards ontdekken.
[13:20] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: I found how to add the "multimedia" icon, but not the XMMS icon. Is that doable?
[13:20] <joep> Sorry: wrong channel.
[13:20] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, If this helps troubleshooting: This once was on windows XP working fine?
[13:21] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  explore some more you can set a custome icon some where in there close to that
[13:21] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; when you ran the dpkg command did you select vesa driver or nv or nvidia?
[13:21] <AliAnwar> Hi I have a problem...
[13:21] <AliAnwar> I made around 2M files on my home directory
[13:21] <tommmied> not sure should i run that one more
[13:21] <AliAnwar> which slowed down my system...
[13:21] <tommmied> and which one should i pick nvidia
[13:21] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; nvidia yes
[13:22] <tommmied> can you tell me the command one more time :-/
[13:22] <ubuntu>  hi, I installed ubuntu 7.10 on a 16GB USB drive on my laptop which has only windows xp on the HD. unfortunately it seems that the ubuntu grub installer did install part of grub on the HD. this means I have to keep the USB key connected at boot time, in the bios select boot from USB-HD and then I get the grub menu (boot linux or winxp). if I remove the key the machine is unbootable. I would like to boot windows when the usb key is not connected.now I fixed
[13:22] <ubuntu> the
[13:22] <ubuntu>  HDs MBR by using the winxp CD and entering fixmbr. but if I try to boot linux from the USB stick it does not work because part of grub is missing.
[13:22] <ubuntu>  any idea how to fully install grub on the USB key ?
[13:22] <ubuntu>  without reinstalling linux on the usb key from scratch.  thanks for infos.
[13:22] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[13:22] <FloodBot2> ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, shouldn't i run through the whole process again?
[13:22] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: in what subdirectory do I find application icons?
[13:22] <lijinji> hello everyone
[13:23] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  no idea. i got my own personal icon dir i use..  use the locate command  to search for the file/program name perhaps
[13:23] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; leave off the -phigh .. it'll do the entire xorg setup
[13:23] <tommmied> kk
[13:23] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: ok.I will try that
[13:23] <b0x> how do i download torrents into rtorrent?
[13:23] <maek> Saint`Dia, PM me if you are registered
[13:23] <Saint`Dia> Anyway I can get these modem drivers from 14K to 56K?
[13:23] <Dr_willis> b0x,  with rtorrent, you WILL want to read its docs/homepage/tutorials
[13:23] <annonymouse> ive just  installed sensors-applet  from sudo apt get install sensors-applet   can any one tell me how do i get into it?
[13:24] <b0x> kk
[13:24] <Dr_willis> b0x,  its like hit some key, (l for load?) then enter the path/name...
[13:24] <maek> Saint`Dia, PM me I have a possible fix for you
[13:24] <jroes> what package has the standard C library docs?
[13:24] <Saint`Dia> Lemme reg.
[13:24] <jroes> I need the manpages for things like send, recv, read, write, etc.
[13:25] <Saint`Dia> Can you reg through Nickserv here?
[13:25] <Saint`Dia> Or do I have to visit a page?
[13:25] <maek> Saint`Dia, are you registered ??
[13:25] <annonymouse> doh worked it out
[13:25] <redtide> Does anyone know the correct syntax for changing Beagles max hits to say, 10000
[13:25] <ubuntu> any ubuntu on flash USB key ? I have problems with grub. thx in advance.  see here: http://www.pastebin.ca/979496
[13:25] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, Just finished should i restart?
[13:25] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; restart X yes.. ctrl alt backspace
[13:26] <maek> Saint`Dia, I can't post a fix here because its something to do with the bay if you know what I mean
[13:26] <annonymouse> is 53 degrees  c  okay for a running temp?
[13:26] <yandy> Hello lijinji
[13:26] <Juzzy`> annonymouse yeah should be fine\
[13:26] <annonymouse> thanks Juzzy`
[13:26] <Juzzy`> Hi guys, running mythbuntu 8.04 ... get mutliple copies of mythtv trying to run on startup
[13:26] <Rabbitbunny> I wouldn't want to run in that heat
[13:26] <redtide> annonymouse, for what? your cpu, your video card, or your case?
[13:26] <lijinji> ??????????????????/
[13:27] <annonymouse> redtide:   my laptop in general
[13:27] <yandy> Why don't you answer me?
[13:27] <bazhang> lijinji: did you have a question?
[13:27] <N> ok
[13:27] <lijinji> no
[13:27] <maek> !ask | lijinji
[13:27] <ubotu> lijinji: 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. :-)
[13:27] <redtide> Annonymouse: should be fine if you are not trying to run any games
[13:27] <Juzzy`> Is there a way to stop things starting when gnome starts?
[13:27] <Saint`Dia> I PM
[13:27] <lijinji> what?
[13:27] <N> lol
[13:27] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, same thing
[13:27] <bazhang> yandy: how about you? ubuntu support question?
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I PM
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> Dammit.
[13:28] <annonymouse> redtide:   no i dont play games luckily  my pc randomly keeps turning itself  of and trying to work out why
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I PM'd
[13:28] <yandy> I sent personal message to you lijinji
[13:28] <lijinji> ok
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I hate where they put the enterkey.
[13:28] <hatter> what is the equivalent of /etc/debian_version for ubuntu ?
[13:28] <annonymouse> was debating  updating to hardy n seing if any better
[13:28] <bazhang> Juzzy`: you running hardy? the discussion for that is in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[13:28] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, when I goto applications > system tools > nvidia x server settings, I get a message that says: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.   But i have done that before and still doesn't work
[13:29] <maek> Saint`Dia, it appears that I need to register as well
[13:29] <redtide> it could be why, if your case temp is at 53c then your cpu/videocard/ram are about 10-20c higher in temp
[13:29] <bastid_raZor> !version | hatter
[13:29] <ubotu> hatter: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[13:29] <Pici> hatter: /etc/lsb-release
[13:29] <maek> Saint`Dia, it won't allow me to send a message to you
[13:29] <Saint`Dia> maek: LoL.
[13:29] <hatter> bastid_raZor, Pici , thx
[13:29] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; do you have the restricted drivers manager in system>admin?
[13:29] <Saint`Dia> Tell me when you Reg.
[13:30] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, yea
[13:30] <Saint`Dia> I did the whole nickserv reg thing.
[13:30] <maek> Saint`Dia, google "conexant dial up modem drivers" and its the 5th result
[13:30] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; in that do you have the nvidia driver enabled?
[13:30] <redtide> Annonymouse, spend 10 bucks on one of those fan platforms that go under a laptop to see if that fixes it., or prop it up with a fan under it, if that works than heat is your prob
[13:30] <tommmied> yup
[13:31] <Saint`Dia> Alright.
[13:31] <Saint`Dia> Gonna take a while, since I'm only going at 14K
[13:31] <Juzzy`> Quick question how do i make ubuntu boot up into command line temporarily?
[13:31] <annonymouse> i tried that with books redtide  and it didnt make much difference
[13:31] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; odd as it sounds.. now that you have done the dpkg .. try the sudo nvidia-xconfig again..
[13:32] <tommmied> bastid_raZor,  then restart x again?
[13:32] <redtide> were the books covering the vents?
[13:32] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i'm not sure you have to restart X after the nvidia settings.. but to be sure yes.
[13:32] <tommmied> k ill be back
[13:33] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: does pressing   Ctrl+Alt+F2   not do the job?
[13:33] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey nope, nothing responds
[13:33] <Juzzy`> totally locked up
[13:33] <annonymouse> redtide:   no :)
[13:33] <maek> Saint`Dia, if you have a selective torrent download client you can get rid of the files you don't need so the download will be faster
[13:33] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey well afaik it won't work... but ctrl alt bkspc didn't work
[13:33] <maek> or sorry it wont take much time
[13:34] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, nope,  I can't even change resolution
[13:34] <Saint`Dia> maek: Can't download anything, I only d/l around 1.5k/s
[13:34] <redtide> annonymouse, pm me and we will see what we can figure out. im a linux noob, but ive been building, using pcs for a very long time
[13:34] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: if you are totally locked, and want to reboot cleanly try the following...

[13:35] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey I've booted into recovery mode ... I just need to remove the mythtv from the .autostart file or something.. right?
[13:35] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, and when i go back into the nvidia x settings, it still prompts with the same error
[13:35] <tommmied> ahh..
[13:35] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i don't know what else to try. :\  .. it sounds as if the driver is borked
[13:35] <Saint`Dia> This is really erking me about ubuntu. I go through all the trouble. and then they are like, ya gotta pay.
[13:36] <tommmied>  bastid_raZor ahh thanks a lot though.
[13:36] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: Hold down   Alt+SySRq   and then press  R  S  E  I  B   (wait a little between each of those letters)
[13:37] <Juzzy`> ok DistroJockey will try that
[13:37] <maek> Saint`Dia, do the download overnight you should have it in the morning
[13:37] <tommmied> Bankai--, you still away?
[13:37] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: that was for when it's locked
[13:37] <bazhang> thought it was reisub
[13:37] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; try to get the exact error.. possibly any numbers that are in it too.. that'll be useful for someone to help more ..
[13:37] <Juzzy`> ok i'll reboot and do that when it locks up
[13:37] <maek> then you will enjoy 56k speeds
[13:37] <bazhang> Saint`Dia: pay for what?
[13:37] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, where would i get those error numberse?
[13:37] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`:  no wait
[13:37] <maek> Linuxtant bazhang
[13:37] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, hiiii wats that REISUB???
[13:38] <tommmied> bazhang, you able to help with the video card?
[13:38] <Saint`Dia> bazhang: The conexant dial up drivers.
[13:38] <bazhang> arvind_khadri: thought it was the alt sysreq reisub total system freeze command
[13:38] <bazhang> maek thanks
[13:38] <Saint`Dia> Is'nt there a way to hide these join/parts in pidgin?
[13:38] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, ohh ok...
[13:38] <bazhang> tommmied: I can try ;]
[13:38] <DistroJockey> ﻿arvind_khadri: bazhang: Really? So Everything Is Borked    :)
[13:39] <bazhang> DistroJockey: ;]
[13:39] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, wat do u mean by that??
[13:39] <DistroJockey> opps, forgot the U
[13:39] <Juzzy`> GRR!?!?!?!
[13:39] <Saint`Dia> Page is -still- loading.
[13:39] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey this reboot was the one in 50 that works
[13:39] <DistroJockey> Really, So Everything Is Utterly Borked
[13:39] <Juzzy`> Thanks anyway
[13:39] <Saint`Dia> arvind_khadri: Mean by what?
[13:39] <Juzzy`> So what is that command?
[13:39] <wapko> busier backwards :P
[13:39] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, the pidgin thing
[13:40] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: use when everything seems to be frozen
[13:40] <Saint`Dia> arvind_khadri: Pidgin messenger. These join/parts are killing me.
[13:40] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey I'm guessing it was a sorta easter egg type pun put in by the devs?
[13:40] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: hold down  Alt+SysRq  and hit those letters
[13:41] <wapko> if its in X maybe just the alt+sysrq+R can be enough. then you can ctrl+alt+f to a tty and fix from there :P
[13:41] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: search google for Magic SysRq key
[13:41] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, bazhang , i got this in my .xsession-error now http://pastebin.com/m147dd37b
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, am not able to understand what it is...
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, forget it
[13:41] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey nice
[13:41] <Juzzy`> Hard reset
[13:41] <soulc> anyone know where I can get help with fail2ban?
[13:41] <Juzzy`> Is that ubuntu or linux specific?
[13:41] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: sorry, not solving your issue, but providing a gracefull way to shutdown
[13:42] <soulc> and is anyone upgraded to the new ver?
[13:42] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: built into the kernel
[13:42] <Saint`Dia> maek: The launchpad page? If so, did'nt solve my problem?
[13:42] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: can be disabled and should be on public terminals
[13:42] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey lets just hope this resets gracefully into mythtv this time
[13:43] <Juzzy`> Its just picky to be honest
[13:43] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: yeah, good luck on that
[13:43] <Juzzy`> heh thanks
[13:43] <DistroJockey> :)
[13:43] <maek> oh damn google localisation Saint`Dia ...

[13:47] <arvind_khadri> soulc, yeah google it
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> soulc, you can denyhost(s) or use manual entries to block too
[13:48] <soulc> fail2ban isn't banning ips I need to get some help with it I have read all the resources I can find
[13:48] <mormon> excuse me, i think that ubuntu's website is messy, it's hard to find out the download link
[13:48] <m3dvt> any one got probs with firefox ?
[13:48] <m3dvt> i have lol
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> soulc, you can denyhost(s) or use manual entries to block too
[13:48] <simmerz> m3dvt: what kind?
[13:48] <bazhang> mormon which version you want
[13:48] <maek> I got it annonymouse ... thanks !!
[13:48] <m3dvt> it dont work lol
[13:48] <Ciorapel> everyone has crashes with ff becouse of damn flash
[13:48] <soulc> yeah the problem with that is the ip changes
[13:48] <annonymouse> mormon  really u think it took me bout a minute or less the first time
[13:48] <simmerz> m3dvt: try aptitude reinstall firefox
[13:48] <bastid_raZor> mormon; http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[13:48] <simmerz> then run it from the command line
[13:48] <m3dvt> ok thanks
[13:49] <simmerz> if it crashes, you can ctrl c it, then run it from the cmnd line again
[13:49] <maek> Saint`Dia, please go here and copy and paste the URL in your browser
[13:49] <simmerz> it should then work
[13:49] <maek> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62715/
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> soulc, hmm well then use the hostname,that never changes :)
[13:49] <simmerz> i had that earlier on
[13:49] <Saint`Dia> ok going.
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, keep your posts to a line
[13:49] <maek> I hope that you can download torrents on a 14k connection
[13:50] <Saint`Dia> Gahh.
[13:50] <annonymouse> maek  of course u can they just take a little while longer
[13:50] <simmerz> arvind_khadri: sorry? that's hardly flood-worthy!
[13:50] <Saint`Dia> Got a size estimation?
[13:50] <m3dvt> where you lot from ?
[13:50] <m3dvt> im in uk
[13:50] <annonymouse> uk
[13:50] <bazhang> !ot
[13:50] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:50] <soulc> ok that is a temp solution the permanent one is to get fail2ban to work as it is intended to
[13:50] <m3dvt> cool
[13:50] <mormon> bt sucks, you won't get a big pipe at most time
[13:51] <annonymouse> mormon bt british telecom   or bit torrent
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, yeah but still then ,makes other people loose track...
[13:51] <mormon> bt = bittorrent
[13:51] <annonymouse> mormon never really had a problem with my torrents usually  all over 60-80 kps on average
[13:51] <Saint`Dia> Why oh why, did you do this to me.. linux!
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> soulc well i think that would be the best to do a manual entry
[13:51] <maek> Saint`Dia, then run that torrent overnight and you should have it in the morning ... then follow the instructions included in the torrent
[13:52] <mormon> in my mind, ftp is easier
[13:52] <Saint`Dia> I installed Ubuntu over Vista, lol. And know the gates karma is trying to keep me down.
[13:52] <m3dvt> i thought the internet providers where stopping the download of torrents now and banning you of the net ?
[13:52] <soulc> and my question is more to seeing if anyone might have a clue as to where I could go to ask specific fail2ban questions
[13:52] <annonymouse> m3dvt dont know if u knew this but theres an #ubuntu-uk room
[13:52] <simmerz> arvind_khadri: what if i want to make people try hard to follow me? ;-)
[13:52] <Saint`Dia> maek: Knowing there is a fix is good enough to calm me down. I can always drive down the street for a faster connection.
[13:53] <m3dvt> ok i didnt know
[13:53] <Ciorapel> I have a problem with VNC viewer. I have a machine running windows with VNC Server, and one running UBUNTU VNC - viewer. When I try to connect thru UBUNTU to WINDOWS machine, I get time-out. If I try to connect from a windows machine to other windows machine, it works.
[13:53] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, :) thats so mean
[13:53] <rwycuff> Saint`Dia:no its gates trying to take over your mind cause he detected yuo are no longer going along with thier tran of thought
[13:53] <m3dvt> im new to linux lol
[13:53] <maek> where can you get a faster connection Saint`Dia ??
[13:53] <jatt> !lol
[13:53] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[13:53] <arvind_khadri> soulc did u try their official site??
[13:53] <Saint`Dia> rwycuff: LoL, I -was- making programs for windows. But I have defected!
[13:53] <soulc> also the default entry in host.deny is ALL:PARANOID never seen that I am used to ALL:ALL
[13:53] <annonymouse> m3dvt:  they have a uk mailing list that is well worth  subing to
[13:54] <soulc> oh yeah
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Whoa lol came from IRC?
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Did it not..
[13:54] <m3dvt> ok thanks for that
[13:54] <jatt> came from AmericaOnLine
[13:54] <soulc> I always look on my own before asking irc channels
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> *shivers*
[13:54] <annonymouse> Saint`Dia:  the point is this is for Q and A not  idle gossip we have a off topic chanel for that
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Well, I use it alot on my server, kills me not to type it.
[13:55] <Pici> !offtopic | please take offtopic discussion elsewhere
[13:55] <ubotu> please take offtopic discussion elsewhere: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:55] <Saint`Dia> annonymouse: Yeah I get it.

[14:00] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i should have thought to search the forums.. i'm not thinking this morning.. too many hours of work.
[14:01] <tommmied> bastid, it wasn't that easy to find, I searched for a few hours
[14:01] <tommmied> you always get side tracked to something else
[14:01] <m3dvt> 1 more .. is there some software for linux for the blind to work a laptop and this is not a joke ?
[14:01] <tommmied> that could be the reason but never is :-/
[14:01] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; glad i could lead you in circles until you found the fix :)

[14:13] <soulc> thanks
[14:13] <fevel> im having trouble turning on desktop effects. It used to work but not anymore
[14:13] <fevel> it says "cant turn on desktop effects"
[14:14] <arvind_khadri> fevel did u disable your drivers???are they restricted ones??
[14:14] <fevel> the 3d drivers are installed. I have reconfigured xorg a couple of days ago...should I add something to the device section?
[14:14] <satu> matrix.dal.net
[14:14] <Dr_willis> reinstall your video card drivers for a start. check your kernel also. You may be running a different kernel now.
[14:15] <fevel> arvind_khadri,  yes they are restricted ones but are not disabled, effects used to work
[14:15] <Dr_willis> i noticed a few weeks ago the 386 kernel gettting installed when i should of been using the -generic kernel
[14:15] <fevel> Dr_willis, I just reinstalled it but didnt do the trick
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> fevel, follow what Dr said...
[14:15] <Dr_willis> what does 'uname -a' show.
[14:16] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, try uname --help :)
[14:16] <soulc> thanks for your help this morning
[14:16] <fevel> Dr_willis,  Linux ZionRunner 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:17] <Dr_willis> I just use -a since its all on 1 line anyway. but my issue i had a few weeks back was with hardy.  Not Gutsy. It dosent seem to be his issue anyway.
[14:17] <fevel> shouldnt I add something to the device section on xorg ? turning it to "1"
[14:18] <Dr_willis> fevel,  what kind of video card?
[14:18] <fevel> Dr_willis,  geforce
[14:18] <Nith> sounds like fevel is talking about the composite option
[14:18] <fevel> Nith,
[14:18] <fevel> yes
[14:19] <Dr_willis> fevel,  No idea on the '1'bit..  :) be sure the driver is set to 'Nvidia' not 'nv' for one thing..
[14:19] <Dr_willis> my xorg.conf for an example   Vista is a challenge to get stuff working
[14:19] <Dr_willis> oops wrong paste,,
[14:19] <Dr_willis> my xorg.conf for an example   http://pastebin.com/fb0d0b7
[14:19] <frozenskun1> Can someone tell me why I (sometimes) get special characters displayed incorrectly. For example, a " shows as &quot and & displays as &amp. It seems to be particularly prevalent in pages and email with html. Seems like it should just be a font or character set setting or something, but I have googled around with no luck.
[14:19] <alphakamp> anyone able to play Tf2 or CS:S in wine with out the sound being garbled and X crashing when you close the game
[14:19] <fevel> Nith,  Mine doesnt have the composite option, should I add it?
[14:20]  * Nith wont touch vid questions
[14:20] <Nith> sorry, me and ubuntu's history with video cards has been rough
[14:20] <Dr_willis> Nith,  thats just why i pasted my working xorg.conf to let him compare. :)
[14:20] <Dr_willis> Its night time for me. bye all.
[14:20] <fevel> Dr_willis,  thanks ...just missed that
[14:20] <Nith> only advice I'll give is google your card name with "ubuntu" in front of it and you will likely find a tutorial

[14:23] <Tarsinion> Hi, can anyone help me to setup my grafik card on 8.04 ?
[14:23] <doktoreas> hello verybody..anyone with some experience customizing ubuntu livecd?
[14:24] <leche>  Tarsinion 1: metaquestion, 2: what graphics card do you have?
[14:24] <Nith> lol, metaquestion. i'm stealing that
[14:24] <Tarsinion> I do not understand what happened to xorg.conf ... there is no grafik card at all listed, but its working with kind of vesa driver
[14:24] <Tarsinion> its a radeon 9250, but i cant find a place to switch to "radeon" or "ati" driver
[14:25] <alphakamp> all i know about livecd customs is the is the recontructor package
[14:25] <leche> Tarsinion:theres no device section?
[14:25]  * Nith suggest backing up the xorg.conf file before modifying it less the world may come crumbling down
[14:25] <Tarsinion> leche: Section "Device"
[14:25] <Tarsinion>         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
[14:25] <jrib> tarsinion: support for hardy is in #ubuntu+1
[14:25] <Tarsinion> thats all ...
[14:26] <Tarsinion> oh sorry jrib
[14:26] <frozenskun1> Hello, Can someone tell me why I (sometimes) get special characters displayed incorrectly. For example, a " shows as &quot and & displays as &amp. It seems to be particularly prevalent in pages and email with html. Seems like it should just be a font or character set setting or something, but I have googled around with no luck.
[14:26] <leche> Tarsinion: yes, first at all you should backup what you have
[14:26] <Tarsinion> leche: already done :)
[14:27] <gatestone> How can I have a virtual screen size bigger than my real 1280x800? So that some problematic fixed size windows will fit on screen, especially when you can nnot move them up through the top of the screen?
[14:27] <gatestone> leechblock has such a too-big fixed options dialog.
[14:27] <Nith> frozenskun1: your issue is likely with the charset, beyond that I dunno
[14:27] <keit1> tracker _never_ returns any results for me when I search for stuff that is blatantly there in plain sight.  I had this trouble before and re-indexed everything and it worked straight after but then the next time i tried it's screwed again.  It seems pretty useless to me - beagle didn't have this trouble and gnome-do seems lightning quick compared to both.  is this the default for future releases too?  can I get it working properly?
[14:27] <frozenskun1> That's what I figured, where abouts do I find that to mess it up further? ;-)
[14:28] <Piero_Scarufii> PriceChild
[14:29] <keit1> also has anyone noticed gltiches during the screensaver when using compiz-fusion and an ati card whilst having a webpage open that uses flash?
[14:29] <Saint`Dia> Having DVD issues, I got the plugins and whatnot. But totem, the player that came with this install, says it can't read from source. Is that a copyright issue?
[14:29] <failesx> Piero_Scarufii: its not very polite to mention someone unless its to clarify who when multiple convos are going on yanno
[14:31] <Nith> frozenskun1: /etc/environments has the LANG parameter, I think thats what I was playing with before giving up
[14:31] <frozenskun1> Nith: So do you have the same issue then?
[14:32] <Nith> frozenskun1: on websites no
[14:32] <Nith> with some terminal programs yeah
[14:32] <frozenskun1> Nith: Mine is the opposite, no problems in terminals at all (that I recall) but email and web pages quite frequently...
[14:33] <Nith> frozenskun1: are you using firefox?
[14:33] <Piero_Scarufii> Seveas can i speak to you please if you are here?
[14:34] <frozenskun1> Nith: Yes, FF and Evolution
[14:34] <barry_> back
[14:34] <Nith> frozenskun1: tools --> options --> advance (beside fonts) and the pulldown near the bottom is default encoding
[14:34] <Nith> mine is iso-8859-1
[14:35] <Nith> as for Evolution, I use thunderbird sorry
[14:35] <gatestone> Is it possible to move windows through the top of the screen, with "Right-click window top bar, Move, use mouse"? Normally it is not but is there somewgere a setting to allow this?
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: hold alt and click anywhere
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: left click specifically, an you can move it anywhere by doing that
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: middle click can also be used to resize while holding alt
[14:35] <atul> Hi 16:~/wxWidgets-2.8.7 make gives error like ./include/wx/defs.h:212: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type ‘bool’ why so ?
[14:36] <rvalles> I'm going to install 8.04 from this. Any known problem with today's image? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/hardy-dvd-amd64.iso
[14:36] <Pici> rvalles: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[14:36] <gatestone> Thx, Nith. I don't think it is consistent that it happens differently in these too cases.
[14:37] <rvalles> Pici: thanks
[14:37] <Nith> gatestone: I have had problems doing that with rdesktop, but if you grab the titlebar using alt, it pretty much always works
[14:37] <frozenskun1> Nith: I am using FF 2.0.0.13, and don't have an options selection under tools, if I choose Edit>Prefs>Advaced>General I get a languages selection, mine is currently set to EN-US, which I don't think is what I am looking for
[14:38] <gatestone> Nith, now I see the logic! It makes sense that you can not move it with the method 1, because then you loose the bar and can not get it back!!!
[14:38] <binhan> hi,guys
[14:39] <frozenskun1> Nith: in my /etc/environment file I have LANG="en_US.UTF-8" is there something more appropriate? (For example, an ISO set?)
[14:39]  * Nith is also using FF 2.0.0.13 and does not have Prefs under Edit.... wierd
[14:39] <Nith> that the one I'm currently using
[14:39] <Nith> sorry frozenskun1
[14:40] <Nith> gatestone: another method is if you've got pagers attached to your panels ,you can drag those and it will move the window
[14:41] <frozenskun1> Nith: I just double checked, and my FF menus are as I described, that is very weird, wonder what led to that... Thanks for your help though!
[14:41] <Nith> by those I mean the window representations on the pagers though
[14:41] <Nith> frozenskun1: did you install FF from the repos?
[14:42] <sivel> any way to get my usb headset to work?
[14:42] <frozenskun1> Nith: Not sure, this particular box was originally installed as Dapper (I think) and has been upgraded ever since, so it has been installed/upgraded several times through the years.
[14:43] <barry_> back
[14:43] <Nith> oh, ok. Mine are fresh gutsy installs so maybe your .mozilla file contains an alternate menu or something
[14:44] <Nith> that said, maybe purging and reinstalling would work for you
[14:45] <moDumass> hey all, if my internet is slow, but not if i use ip address only, is there any thing other than DNS that could be the problem?
[14:46] <bastid_raZor> moDumass; i would bet you have ISP issues.
[14:46] <pc-illiterate> can someone help me with the new enemy territory update ?
[14:46] <moDumass> bastid_raZor, ok, other than ISP issues, since no one else seems to be mashing like I mash
[14:47] <genii> moDumass: DNS is obviously the best suspect since by IP works faster.
[14:47] <james_> Evince document viewer is displaying things like they are really zoomed out. 400% zoom only makes them about an inch wide :S
[14:48] <Piero_Scarufii> Does anyone know what the name is of this application with the graph pie that shows the hd diskusage?
[14:48] <moDumass> genii i figured it was but ive set my router to go to the 2 fastes DNS servers in our area and still, super crap, its random, slow for about 30 seconds then BAM uberfast
[14:48] <moDumass> but sometimes slow for 5 mins then BAM uberfast
[14:48] <quaal> why has my computer rebooted to an orange asterisk
[14:49] <erUSUL> Piero_Scarufii: baobad ? Aplications>Accesories>disk usage
[14:50] <Scunizi> moDumass, could be bad amps on the lines in your area.. cox has FINALLY begun upgrading my area that had lines and amp left over from a different comapny from 15 years ago.
[14:51] <genii> moDumass: Check /etc/resolv.conf   for inconsistencies from what the router is using, possibly also /etc/hosts.conf and make sure localhost entries at top.
[14:51] <moDumass> Scunizi. hmm, I live in the CBD, I sync at 24megs a second down, and this is a problem that started after a "partial upgrade" and I dont know how to fix it, i doubt that it has anything to do with my ISP
[14:52] <sayers> How do I convert a video that is 1280x1024 high quality and in oggvorbis down to something lesser of the quality scale?
[14:52] <moDumass> thanks genii doin it now
[14:52] <Scunizi> moDumass, you're probably right.. I just jumped in and didn't have access to any prior info you may have posted.
[14:53] <Scunizi> sayers, devede?
[14:53] <moDumass> Scunizi, thats cool, thanks anyway
[14:53] <sayers> Scunizi, Can that convert to ogg ?
[14:53] <Scunizi> :)
[14:53] <moDumass> genii resolve.conf has my router as the top nameserver
[14:53] <bastid_raZor> sayers; mencoder
[14:54] <moDumass> genii then 7 other ip addresses that all look foreign
[14:54] <bastid_raZor> sayers; oh mencoder.. i'm not sure if it can or not.. man mencoder though will tell you more about it
[14:54] <Scunizi> sayers, I haven't used it a bunch.. check synaptic and search for video or trancoder.. something similiar and you'll get a list of things to read.. also check out www.getdeb.net
[14:55] <moDumass> genii and hosts.conf is empty
[14:55] <genii> moDumass: Put 127.0.0.1 localhost      in there as second entry and then if the others look foreign, comment them out with # and then look them up on someplace like dnsstuff.com to see how far away from you they are.
[14:56] <moDumass> genii is this in hosts.conf?
[14:56] <genii> moDumass: I'll pastebin a standard /etc/hosts    file for you to copy and paste in
[14:56] <moDumass> thanks
[14:56] <mdgeorge> hello
[14:56] <moDumass> thats in resolv, cool
[14:56] <genii> moDumass: No, in the /etc/resolv.conf (the revious instructions)
[14:56] <genii> *previous
[14:56] <sivel> any way to get my gigaware usb headset to work? its labeled in lsusb as Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
[14:57] <mdgeorge> I have a funny-shaped screen, so that when I use the virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1) the left and right ends are cut off, and it's a lcd so I can't adjust it
[14:57] <mdgeorge> I was wondering if there was any way I could fix that
[14:58] <bastid_raZor> mdgeorge; have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:58] <genii> moDumass: Fairly stock /etc/hosts     file contents here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62719/
[14:59] <mdgeorge> bastid_raZor: why would that help?  X works fine, it's the virtual terminal that doesn't
[14:59] <moDumass> thanks, im still posting the pastebin for my resolv.conf
[14:59] <moDumass> genii, thanks
[14:59] <bastid_raZor> mdgeorge; oh.. in that case.. you said funny shaped screen.. i thought you  implied the desktop as well
[15:00] <mdgeorge> bastid_raZor: no, sorry.  I meant my monitor has 1280x1024 resolution
[15:00] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:00] <mdgeorge> it's not in 640x480 proportions
[15:01] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, thats not a funny shaped screen .. it use to be the standard shape.. It's what I  use.. square almost..
[15:02] <pc-illiterate> what i use too but mine isnt rotated
[15:02] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:02] <yan> where is it ????
[15:03] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: all I mean is that it's not what the graphics card is expecting in text mode, so that things are getting cut off on the ends
[15:03] <Oprtz> just install ubuntu 7.10, want to install compiz or beryl, which is the best among them ? i want to use cube effects? and where to get these software? thanks
[15:03] <Daviey> Oprtz: "compiz fusion"
[15:04] <moDumass> genii, this is the content of  /etc/resolv.conf... http://www.pastebin.org/28762
[15:04] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, beryl doesnt exist anymore,its compiz
[15:04] <DJones> !beryl | Oprtz, Beryl no longer exists in Ubuntu 7.10

[15:04] <Oprtz> daviety: where to install compiz ?
[15:04] <wizo> hey, what do i have to search in apt get for teh JRE or JDK? i'm trying to get eclipse to run
[15:04] <genii> moDumass: OK, reading
[15:04] <yan> who can tall me where is it?
[15:04] <stephan_> what is the easiest way to install ndiswrapper
[15:05] <arvind_khadri> yan, what is where???
[15:05] <erUSUL> !ndiswrapper
[15:05] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[15:05] <genii> moDumass: I just noticed in my previous paste I also copied in by mistake 3 lines at bottom from my console, just remove them in your version
[15:05] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, yea.. I went  back and read your previous post.. does your monitor have a "self adjust" button?  some do. Otherwise asking again later stating that terminal resolution looses right and left edges on lcd monitor.. things pickup in here in the next hour or so.. also about 10 hrs from now
[15:05] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,can anyone help me?
[15:05] <moDumass> will do
[15:05] <mdgeorge> wizo: sun-java-jdk
[15:06] <Oprtz> when i write compiz fusion in ADD/REMOVE program, it says no program found :( why is that?;
[15:06] <wizo> mdgeorge: oh so that's what it's call, haha thanks! btw, which one should i use, JDK or JRE?
[15:06] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, synaptic
[15:06] <moDumass> genii, done, removed 3 lines
[15:06] <mdgeorge> wizo: jdk is the compiler and everything you need to compile, jre is just the runtime system
[15:06] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  ok letme try
[15:07] <stephan_> how do i extract with a command?
[15:07] <wizo> mdgeorge: so i guess i just need the JRE to run eclipse huh?
[15:07] <stephan_> its telling me to extract with: tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz
[15:07] <jrib> stephan_: extract what?
[15:07] <yan> I don't know about this chat
[15:07] <Scunizi> stephan_, that is the command to extract
[15:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: I don't see anything like that.  I'll try back later.  Thanks
[15:07] <Todd> stephan_, just do it
[15:07] <marx2k> Anyone here use naim?
[15:07] <Pici> !support
[15:07] <ubotu> The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[15:07] <stephan_> yes, do i have to put the archive in a certain directory?
[15:07] <hyr4x>  java
[15:08] <mdgeorge> wizo: true, unless you want to use it to compile java programs
[15:08] <wizo> btw, how come jdk or jre is not marked for installation when i install eclipse
[15:08] <jrib> stephan_: are you following the wiki page ubotu linked you to?
[15:08] <wizo> hmm, maybe i'll just get jdk then, just in case i need it in the future, thanks mdgeorge
[15:08] <ChaosTheory^> How do I change the default terminal profile on terminal startup? I changed my profile to one without a menu bar so I can't go and edit it. :D
[15:08] <mdgeorge> wizo: I'm guessing because you could conceivably want to install an alternate jre
[15:08] <stephan_> yes i am
[15:08] <stephan_> thats what its telling me to do
[15:08] <Scunizi> stephan_, if it's currently sitting on your desktop you might create a directory/folder to put it in before extracting.. you could end up with a screen full of files.
[15:08] <jrib> stephan_: what page exactly?
[15:09] <mdgeorge> wizo: by the way, I found the package by running apt-cache search jre which you might try in the future
[15:09] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  strange 2 compiz application is already selected, but i never download compiz. if they installed by chance, how to get 3D effect ?

[15:09] <DJones> !compiz > Oprtz
[15:09] <wizo> mdgeorge: oh i was searching runtime enviroment...virtual machine.. lol
[15:09] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, try man compiz
[15:10] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz google about...compiz comes by default
[15:10] <Oprtz> pl
[15:10] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri: : ok dear
[15:10] <stephan_> the network manager that is default with ubuntu is not connecting to a certain network
[15:10] <stephan_> it works at home fine, but not here
[15:10] <Pici> Oprtz: Go to System>Preferences>Appearance and one of the tabs is desktop effects (or similar)
[15:11] <DJones> !ccsm | Oprtz: You need to install CCSM to enable tou control compiz once you've got it set up and the basic functions working

[15:11] <marx2k> So, anyone here use naim?
[15:11] <Scunizi> stephan_, probably because of a password.. encryption wep or wpa?
[15:11] <Oprtz> CCSM ? oh my linux is difficult :)
[15:12] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, ccsm=compiz config settings manager
[15:12] <stephan_> scunizi, there is no WPA (at school) and it tries to connect, but wont pull an IP
[15:12] <Scunizi> Oprtz, just different.. ccsm is compiz configuration settings manager
[15:13] <Luke771> is there a way to make compiz/beryl work on a multimonitor setup?
[15:13] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  do i also need to install ccsm? if yes in add/remove programs ?
[15:13] <aschmack> Oprtz, go to accesories -> terminal
[15:13] <Pici> Oprtz: You need to get the basic functionality of compiz working first.
[15:13] <Oprtz> aschmack:  ok
[15:13] <aschmack> and type "sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager"
[15:13] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, use sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:13] <aschmack> then type your password and hit enter
[15:14] <TheFrugalGeek> hi
[15:14] <Scunizi> stephan_, don't most schools lock down access in some fashion? You might end up needing to contact the Is dept.. :/
[15:14] <Oprtz> it says 11 resource tememeraly not available
[15:14] <|Dede|> what was the command for viewing hardware again? "dmi..something"
[15:15] <marx2k> lspci?
[15:15] <|Dede|> no
[15:15] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, do u have synaptic running in BG
[15:15] <aschmack> stephan_,  they probably just disabled dhcp, just try random addresses in the class c ranges
[15:15] <|Dede|> that would be pci, marx2k
[15:15] <Oprtz> yes
[15:15] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, close it :)
[15:15] <omar_> Guys can we say the Gobuntu is similar to Gentoo in terms of the idea?

[15:18] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager .....do this
[15:18] <genii> moDumass: Apologies for lag, work needed me. As for the resolv.conf, add below the first entry 127.0.0.1 localhost            and then for now a # before the next 6 entries. It would be good to look up the numbers there and see if it makes sense to keep them as DNS entries. If they make sense to keep (near you and/or fast) then to uncomment them as needed.
[15:18] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  same reselt, E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:19] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz well please paste your sources.list

[15:19] <omar_> arvind_khadri: Yes, I know it's freedom-focused, but is the same as gentoo with respect to the fact that it's not complete and you need to complete it on your own?
[15:19] <Pici> omar_: No, gentoo makes you compile everything, gobuntu is not like that.
[15:19] <Scunizi> Oprtz, go to System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and click the search button.. now type compiz.. in the resulting list you'll find the program you're looking for.

[15:21] <arvind_khadri> DJones, :)
[15:21] <CShadowRun> has good documentation
[15:21] <amenado> CShadowRun-> you do know you can run mirc on linux using wine right?
[15:21] <CShadowRun> xchats website is beyond broken
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> caveymason, check the volume levels there
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, you there??
[15:22] <ChaosTheory^> How I restore the default terminal profile *in* terminal?
[15:22] <Oprtz> Scunizi:  i cheked software source
[15:22] <DJones> CShadowRun: or irssi if can take the time to get used to a text based irc client
[15:22] <Pici> !software | CShadowRun dont install manually
[15:22] <ubotu> CShadowRun dont install manually: 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
[15:22] <Oprtz> its installing
[15:22] <CShadowRun> amenado alot of the scripting functions in mIRC don't work properly in wine, it has alot of isuses :)
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, :) good
[15:22] <marx2k> caveymason: alsamixer is pretty self explanatory
[15:22] <CShadowRun> so, xchat has no documentation
[15:22] <DJones> CShadowRun: Its included in the repo's, sudo apt-get install xchat should install it
[15:22] <CShadowRun> any sensible suggestions ? :)
[15:22] <amenado> CShadowRun-> so your claim of good is then hogwash..its all relative..
[15:22] <caveymason> i have like a 7.1 card but im only using 2.1 at the moment could that be why?
[15:22] <aschmack> CShadowRun, just whatever you do, dont install xchat-gnome
[15:22] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  after that what is the command to use in terminal ?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> o.O
[15:23] <marx2k> caveymason: how do you know youre only using 2.1?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> i mean i went to xchats website (xchat.org) and most of the links are broken
[15:23] <CShadowRun> it frustrated me more than anything else.
[15:23] <caveymason> i got it :)
[15:23] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> so as i said in my original question, window tiling, good documentation and scripting :p
[15:23] <mosibfu> CShadowRun, xchat-guile is the xchat scripting engine, its quite good, dont know if it comes with doc tho
[15:24] <CShadowRun> hehe, kinda useless if it don't have docs, how are you supposed to use it without docs >.>
[15:24] <CShadowRun> guess? lol
[15:24] <Pici> CShadowRun: Try the in-program help.
[15:24] <Pici> or the manpages.
[15:24] <mosibfu> CShadowRun, but there must be some proper docs for it, Guile is the GNU Scheme implementation, and the official GNU scripting language.
[15:25] <CShadowRun> hmm
[15:25] <CShadowRun> ok, i'll take another look at xchat
[15:25] <CShadowRun> even though there website makes me want to stab someone, lets hope the client is better :p
[15:25] <CK_MY> any mp3 cutter for ubuntu ?
[15:25] <mosibfu> the scripting language is guile ;) find their docs and you shuld be doing fine, imho the client is better then mirc cuz it comes less complicated out of the box
[15:26] <CShadowRun> so do i want xchat or xchat-gnome?
[15:26] <Scunizi> CK_MY, cutter? you mean editor?  audacity
[15:26] <Scunizi> xchat
[15:26] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, sorry wasnt around
[15:26] <mosibfu> xchat and xchat-guile   guile docs are: http://static.fi/~zeenix/xchat-guile/
[15:26] <DJones> CShadowRun: xchat is the better version, xchat-gnome is a cut down version
[15:26] <CShadowRun> kk :)
[15:26] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  no problem
[15:26] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, try issuing compiz
[15:27] <CK_MY> Scunizi, yes i edit for my phone ringtone
[15:27] <alexvd> hello trying to do upgrade from gusty to hardy heron but the update manager is hanging on the first step.  I have uncommented out all third party repositories and applied all new updates.  Anyone know a way to get this to work?
[15:27] <Scunizi> CK_MY, Audicity will work fine.. however you may have to read the docs to see how to get mp3 working.
[15:27] <CK_MY> Scunizi, no GUI ?
[15:28] <Scunizi> alexvd, try #ubuntu+1
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, and do install CCSM too
[15:28] <alexvd> scunizi: is that another channel on freenode?
[15:28] <Scunizi> CK_MY, ah.. you didnt mention that before... sorry I don't know..
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> aleX-xx, YEAH
[15:28] <Scunizi> alexvd, yes.. for Hardy support
[15:29] <sivel> anyone have a fix for a usb headset? lsusb shows it, as does alsamixer, but sound still comes out of the reg speajers
[15:29] <sivel> speakers
[15:29] <aschmack> ck_my, i think that xmms2 has a command line interface
[15:29] <aschmack> CK_MY, there's also mpg123
[15:29] <arvind_khadri> mpg123 rocks :)
[15:30] <CK_MY> aschmack, i will try thanks
[15:30] <aschmack> np
[15:30] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri: : i use this command and its starts downloading   sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:30] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, yeah thats correct
[15:30] <cshadowrun> ok, i'm in xchat :)
[15:30] <marx2k> Anyone here use naim?
[15:30] <cshadowrun> how would i get it to tile windows?
[15:31] <Oprtz> :)
[15:31] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  i wish i learb terminal commands like you guys learned
[15:31] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, go to the tab and right mouse click and choose detatch
[15:31] <Oprtz> Terminal is very scary
[15:31] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Can you use naim on Ubuntu?
[15:31] <cshadowrun> ah i see, yea detatched it
[15:31] <ChaosTheory^> How can you reset the default terminal profile through terminal, without using the menu bar?
[15:31] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, :) its not scary,jus spend time with it,read docs about it
[15:32] <cshadowrun> then i can use beryl to tile them
[15:32] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, i love terminal more than the GUI,its easy to use
[15:32] <cshadowrun> i mean compiz, it's compiz now lol
[15:32] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: of course
[15:32] <cshadowrun> any way to make windows automatically open detatched?
[15:32] <marx2k> default terminal profile?
[15:32] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Trying it out. =P
[15:32] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Naim was one of the main reasons I switched to Ubuntu. XD
[15:32] <marx2k> :)
[15:32] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, not sure
[15:33] <cshadowrun> Scunizi, aww.
[15:33] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Do you know how to fix my problem?
[15:33] <marx2k> I have an issue in naim though where it keeps sending people blank messages every few minutes... cant figure out why
[15:33] <gh0st> hello, how can i set my case fan speed?
[15:33] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: Im not really sure what your problem is
[15:33] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I made a new profile in terminal where the menu bar was disabled and I set it as my default. =P
[15:34] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, now if you want to irc on cli.. irssi is the bomb .. then if y ou combine it with screen you've got an environment that can be fun
[15:34] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I want to go back to my default profile.
[15:34] <cshadowrun> hehe yea i've played with IRSSI, problem with it is its not GUI
[15:34] <cshadowrun> and i like my mouse :(
[15:34] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: not sure. I dont use terminal. when I use naim, I am ssh'ing to my home linux box (like now) via PuTTY
[15:34] <quaal> are md raid5 disks supposed to be checked on boot
[15:34] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Oh, I see.
[15:34] <mormon> irssi is insecure
[15:34] <marx2k> mormon: how so?
[15:34] <miturburu__> helo
[15:35] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Actually, I think centerim is pretty easy to use. =P
[15:35] <quaal> mormons are insecure
[15:35] <mormon> irssi leak your info too much
[15:35] <cshadowrun> Scunizi http://cshadowrun.googlepages.com/mycomputer.PNG that's what i'm trying to achieve :)
[15:35] <marx2k> ?
[15:35] <cshadowrun> bottem left 2 displays with the window tiles :p
[15:35] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, hey u around
[15:35] <mormon> and you have no option to fix that
[15:35] <miturburu__> Any one own a motherboard pcchips k750m? Google just throws me  results about the sony phone
[15:35] <mormon> tha's irssi
[15:35] <marx2k> mormon: How do you mean it leaks your info?
[15:35] <miturburu__> I need to know how much memory I can put in it
[15:35] <mormon> hehehe, it's secret
[15:35] <arvind_khadri> is there anyway to remove unused libs??
[15:36] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: deborphan
[15:36] <arvind_khadri> not autoremove
[15:36] <erUSUL> !info deborphan > arvind_khadri
[15:36] <Scunizi> mormon, irssi.. did I miss type.. oops
[15:36] <aschmack> cshadowrun,  how many monitors do you have?
[15:36] <mormon> is there any bitchx fan in here?
[15:37] <cshadowrun> currently? 9
[15:37] <cshadowrun> that's an old screenshot ;)
[15:37] <cshadowrun> although i'm not using them all, i'm trying to cut down :)
[15:37] <marx2k> mormon: Uh, considering some of us use irssi, you may want to 'let us in' on the secret
[15:37]  * cshadowrun is aiming at using just 2 computers with 5 or 6 displays :p
[15:37] <aschmack> :O
[15:38] <aschmack> and, does anyone have a g15 in here
[15:38] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Just installed, having the same problem, too.
[15:38] <cshadowrun> yes, i have a G15
[15:38] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: weir,d right? I dont get it..
[15:38] <cshadowrun> aschmack i have a G15 :)
[15:38] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: CenterIM is a better text-based client. =P
[15:38] <aschmack> do you have libg15 running yet
[15:39] <cshadowrun> aschmack no, i tried to get it to work and it kept saying i didn't have libg15render installed, even though i did.
[15:39] <Darcklau> hello
[15:39] <xsacha> hi, i use biosplash.xpm.gz as my grub bootsplash.. if i overwrite biosplash.xpm.gz with another image which is a larger size, will it still work?
[15:39] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, so is that working??
[15:40] <Darcklau> i have a problem whit my ubuntu 7.10 install on ga-p31-ds3l mobo, no acces to the install option
[15:41] <arvind_khadri> can ubuntu be installed in cell phone???
[15:41] <xsacha> there is Ubuntu Mobile
[15:41] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, where do i find it??
[15:41] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[15:41] <alx54555> hi there! my hdd just crashed, i am booting from live/cd now... anyone know a good site where is explained how to mount my drive from kubuntu/live/cd *cantfindquestionmark*
[15:42] <Darcklau> shift+/ give u the ?
[15:42] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I'm getting blank messages from myself even after uninstall naim.
[15:42] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, but thats something for the higher end...i meant something for the not so higher end...like mototola E6
[15:43] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: Ok... that is REALLY weird.. dont know what to tell you on that one :) You sure it's not running? (Even though you uninstalled it)
[15:43] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: open a terminal do sudo -i; once root → mount -t auto /dev/sdxx /mnt/
[15:43] <xsacha> alx54555: ^^
[15:43] <alx54555> darcklau right but i got german keyboard *smiley*
[15:43] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Yes.
[15:43] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: . . . -_-"
[15:43] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thanks
[15:43] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: /dev/sdxx is the partition device it could be /dev/hdxx where in both cases xx is a1 a2 a5 b4 depending on the configuration of your disks
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, have you tried it???
[15:44] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: fdisk -l would give you a list of your partitions should be easy to espot the one you need to mount
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thats for a mobile right??
[15:44] <alx54555> xsacha hey could u please help me instead of `` pleeeese
[15:44] <alx54555> hi there! my hdd just crashed, i am booting from live/cd now... anyone know a good site where is explained how to mount my drive from kubuntu/live/cd *cantfindquestionmark*
[15:44] <wers> I have installed prism. I'm trying it now but whenever I try to convert a website to application, I get "Please choose a shortcut location" even if I have already chosen an image
[15:44] <nextstep> does anyone know of a program for ubuntu that will take a full system image of your machine, sort of like ghost.  Obviously will have to be a live CD since you wouldnt be able to do that from inside the OS
[15:44] <wers> any idea? :)
[15:44] <xsacha> alx54555: erUSUL is talking to you but mistakenly using "arvind"'s name
[15:45] <xsacha> alx54555: that is what i meant by ^^ (arrows, look up)
[15:45] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: o sorry my comments are for alx54555 .... somehow tab comletion has betrayed me :|
[15:45] <alx54555> aah erusul ok
[15:45] <tomd123> does ubuntu 8.04 alternate have an option to install just base system, no gnome?
[15:45] <jrib> nextstep: partimage
[15:45] <flea> nextstep: dd
[15:45] <Pici> tomd123: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[15:45] <erUSUL> alx54555: see my comments to arvind_khadri ....
[15:45] <alx54555> ok thx erusul
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thats ok,,,thats wat i was wondering
[15:45] <nextstep> thanks .. let me check partimage out ...
[15:46] <Pici> nextstep: mondo too
[15:46] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, so any idea about embedded ubuntu...
[15:46] <nextstep> thanks
[15:46] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: no version of ubuntu for that i think
[15:46] <nextstep> after this last bout of explosions with hardy i have moved back to gutsy and want to prevent the reinstall for happening again .. :-D
[15:46] <xsacha> but there would be a few linux distros that would work fine
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hmm well can i find embedded linux for it atleast??
[15:47] <xsacha> it runs on linux standard
[15:47] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: no sorry :|
[15:47] <MrBill> I've just installed Ubuntu Gutsy and configured Evolution for use with my email. Is there a way to get 2 way syncing with google calender yet? I've googled around a bit and only found old solutions that offer 1 way only.
[15:47] <nextstep> wow .. so partimage can work inside a running OS ?
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hmm would u mind naming them??
[15:48] <cshadowrun> my sound isn't working in xchat
[15:48] <humano> hi, can i add a route throug the interfaces file?
[15:48] <vlt> Hello. I got 4 weekly logfiles in /var/log/auth.log*   Where can I increase the number if these logfiles kept?
[15:49] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: not sure but since it comes with linux, im sure there would be some distros made to run on it
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> xsacha hmm thanks for that...any particular URL to search for it??
[15:49] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: you could probably just hack that linux it comes with
[15:50] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, i dont think it comes with linux as it freezes/hangs very often :) its symbian i guess
[15:50] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/MOTOROKR_E6_ScreenShot.png ... this one right?

[15:52] <MrBill> Scunizi: how labour intensive is it? Is there a better mail/calendar client I can/should be using that will make this task easier for myself?
[15:53] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: apparently all E6xx series are linux-based (they are the only linux E series) and ROKR E6 also linux-based
[15:53] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hey that sounds cool
[15:53] <Scunizi> MrBill, you trying to have your calendar online and accessable anytime?
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, but it hangs up a lot,would u tell me about L9 plzzz
[15:54] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: do you know which one is yours? is it rokr e6 or e6xx?
[15:54] <MrBill> Scunizi: yes, I'd like to be able to sync my google calendars (already in use and configured to share with other google calendar users) synced up with something on my desktop

[15:55] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, it hangs up a lot...
[15:55] <DJones> xsacha: arvind_khadri although its off topic, you could look into the openmoko project and its neo1973 mobile phone
[15:56] <xsacha> DJones: he wanted to know if he could get ubuntu on that phone
[15:56] <Scunizi> MrBill, since g-calendars only sync's one way right now.. it makes it tough.. evolution will sync for the desktop .. but pushing data back to calendar isn't happening yet.
[15:56] <arvind_khadri> DJones, do they have some irc??
[15:56] <donkey7186> I need help. Ever since my monitor messed up it takes me longer to load after logon. is there anyway to speed it up? or restore the computer to an earlier state??
[15:56] <DJones> xsacha: right, ok
[15:56] <MrBill> I know google has just released an app for windows that brings 2 way syncing to Outlook... was hoping there was a similar solution on the linux side.... I'm just in the process of moving from M$ to Ubuntu
[15:57] <MrBill> I will sit and be patient I guess, I'm sure someone will develop a solution at some point, seems like a feature that would be looked at by someone smarter than me at some point =)
[15:57] <Scunizi> MrBill, if they have an app.. there might be an api that could be used.. sometimes www.google.com/linux works better for finding info than www.google.com
[15:57] <DJones> arvind_khadri: I've heard of people using irc via a mobile phone, but I don't know what they used
[15:57] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: it's linux and it has gcc, so you can compile an irc client :)
[15:58] <nextstep> jrib:  in partimage how would you get it to do the main filesystem drive since it is mounted?
[15:58] <MrBill> ok, thanks for the help Scunizi
[15:58] <arvind_khadri> xsacha,  u mean on rokr E6
[15:58] <xsacha> yes
[15:58] <punzada> I use irc on my phone all the time, but it runs windows mobile.
[15:58] <Scunizi> MrBill, np.. welcome to the faternity
[15:58] <magnetron> cshadowrun: yes
[15:58] <arvind_khadri> Djones :) am asking that do openmoko ppl have an irc here
[15:58] <xsacha> yeah openmoko has irc too
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, how bout L9
[15:59] <magnetron> cshadowrun: search for "mp3" in synaptic, you'll find a ton
[15:59] <Pici> arvind_khadri: yes, #openmoko
[15:59] <DJones> arvind_khadri: oh right, i don't know
[15:59] <donkey7186> I need help. Ever since my monitor messed up it takes me longer to load after logon. is there anyway to speed it up? or restore the computer to an earlier state??
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> Pici thanks a lot
[15:59] <magnetron> cshadowrun: mpg123 is famous
[15:59] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: whats L9? by the way, that motorola E6 comes WITH pidgin which has msn and irc i believe
[16:00] <Technoviking> can someone reply to me in chat, testing an irssi script
[16:00] <Stroganoff> Technoviking test
[16:00] <Scunizi> Technoviking, what kind of script
[16:00] <gatestone> Hey, here is a problem, two screenshots: http://flickr.com/photos/anssi/ has that been fixed in Hardy: oversize windows loose the bottom (Cancel and OK in the 2nd picture) and WITH NO VISUAL indication, so the user does not even know something is missing!
[16:00] <rsc___> is it possible to restart X without losing my currently-running apps? I want to switch monitors.
[16:00] <rsc___> or is there a way to switch monitors while running X?
[16:00] <WiFi> algun canal de redes wifi?
[16:00] <Technoviking> fnotify, trying to get libnotify to work with irssi
[16:00] <Stroganoff> rsc___: use grandr
[16:01] <Thalan> does someone of you now good rock radio streams?
[16:01] <Pici> !ot
[16:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:01] <rsc___> Stroganoff, it doesn't detect my monitor resolution properly
[16:01] <Pici> Please take non support chatter elsewhere.
[16:02] <Scunizi> rsc___, you want to physically change the monitors?  don't .. turn things off first..
[16:02] <legend2440> nextstep: to use partimage on main filesystem you have to boot up from cd that has partimage. I use system rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
[16:02] <rsc___> scunizi, I'm using a laptop, and I want to switch from my laptop's display and a VGA monitor ij ust connected.
[16:03] <delfick> does anyone know of a program that will let me schedule a download for a particular time and shutdown the computer when that download has finished?
[16:03] <Scunizi> rsc___, then the hot keys on the laptop to switch should work.. otherwise how do you switch them?
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> delfick, That sounds like something you will need to script as a cron job...
[16:04] <rsc___> scunizi, I used to use grandr, and xrandr --output VGA --auto. for Hardy though for some reason they dont detect my resolution right until I restart X :/
[16:04] <orfeu> hello is some one who have a Intel GMA 3100 graphic card ... I have some problems with xgl on this
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardy > rsc___
[16:04] <delfick> Jack_sparrow, I looked at that, and I'm able to schedule the download and that part works, but how would I make it shutdown once the download finishes?
[16:04] <Lamego> delfick, that should be as simple as, wget url; shutdown -h now (launched from root's crontab)
[16:05] <rsc___> delfick, maybe a shutdown -h now :)
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> delfick, man shutdown
[16:05] <Scunizi> rsc___, if you have background programs running.. then ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the guil.. also sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (the preferred method).. but if you have gui programs running .. no.. they'll get shut down
[16:05] <rsc___> or even -hn to force it
[16:05] <rsc___> Scunizi, okay. :)
[16:06] <delfick> ahh, yes, that's right (/me is brandead atm) so it'd be wget [...] && shutdown -h now
[16:06] <delfick> ?
[16:06] <Technoviking> ok think I got it, can someone send me one more reply :)
[16:06] <Odd-rationale> Technoviking: no
[16:06] <Lamego> with && the system will not be shutdown if the download fails
[16:06] <Technoviking> Odd-rationale: thanks
[16:07] <delfick> Lamego, so what to use instead? :)
[16:07] <Lamego> delcoyote, wget url ; shutdown
[16:07] <jhaig> What is the equivalent of chkconfig in Ubuntu?  Ie, the tool for enabling and disabling services at different runlevels.
[16:08] <delfick> lamego,k then, thnx.....

[16:45] <jdix123> I'm trying to recompile the kernel for IPX support, and I found some howtos online, but they are written with the assumption I already know how to recompile
[16:45] <^Migs^> I didn't realize I could do that
[16:45] <^Migs^> <--- noob
[16:45] <sparrow_> ok
[16:45] <sparrow_> okok
[16:45] <Pici> !hardy | ^Migs^ rwycuff
[16:45] <ubotu> ^Migs^ rwycuff: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[16:45] <^Migs^> that's a little too convenient
[16:45] <Morten^Toft> anybody here know the solution to fix the no-sound problem on a macbook with the beta?
[16:45] <dward526> ^Migs^: nice feature it is though
[16:45] <^Migs^> ya no kidding
[16:45] <^Migs^> k, 7.10 it is
[16:46] <soundray> !kernelcompile | jdix123
[16:46] <ubotu> jdix123: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[16:46] <Seveas> jdix123, you don't need to recompile to enable ipx. Just load the kernel module: sudo modprobe ipx
[16:46] <soundray> Morten^Toft: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[16:46] <Morten^Toft> soundray: okay, thanks
[16:47] <jdix123> whats the option to load at bootup?
[16:47] <bieb> I have ubuntu 7.10 running on my machine... sound used to work although it was crappy.. now no sound at all.. any ideas where to start?
[16:47] <Seveas> jdix123, echo ipx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[16:47] <dave421> Hi folks - how do I install the dummy network adapter module?
[16:48] <Seveas> dave421, what do you mean with 'dummy network adapter module'?
[16:48] <jdix123> I knew it had to be relatively simple.  THanks Seveas
[16:48] <dave421> as in to add a dummy network adaptor, using modprobe
[16:48] <dave421> (sorry if I get the terminology wrong - this is an area of linux I've yet to dabble with extensively)
[16:48] <Seveas> there is no such thing as a 'dummy network adapter'
[16:49] <soundray> dave421: it should autoload if you have the lines 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:49] <unicum> shouldn't it be "aptitude upgrade-dist"??
[16:49] <randomnumber> hello can anyone help me with a very very very strange problem?
[16:49] <dave421> I'm pretty sure there is one, Seveas ;)
[16:49] <unicum> it tells me upgrade-dist is an unknown command
[16:49] <CannibalM> hello again everyone.
[16:49] <dave421> as in here: http://www.rkeene.org/projects/info/wiki/77
[16:49] <Seveas> dave421, you might be refering to the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1
[16:49] <soundray> unicum: 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'
[16:49] <CannibalM> Who here rocks out with SSL and the server edition of ubuntu 7.10?
[16:49] <dave421> soundray - I'm not talking about the loopback adapter, but a dummy adapter
[16:49] <CannibalM> I have 9 machines out of 10 working, the last one is a fighter.
[16:49] <hischild> soundray, he's talking about alias devices, like eth0:0
[16:49] <Seveas> dave421, hmm, never seen that before and it seems awfully useless to me...
[16:50] <unicum> doesn't do anything on that
[16:50] <bieb> any have any ideas on my sound issue?
[16:50] <dave421> Seveas - not at all.  I'm using EC2 with an ubuntu image, and i'm going to be running software that requires a network adapter with a specific MAC address.  I can't change the MAC address of eth0, because that makes the EC2 instance unreachable
[16:50] <soundray> hischild: apparently not -- see the link he's posted
[16:50] <unicum> not even after update
[16:50] <hischild> soundray, link? must be blind today
[16:50] <dave421> so I'm going to make a seperate network on my EC2 instance which routes through the actual eth0 interface
[16:51] <jdix123> while I'm here, how can i make a script that loads at bootup?
[16:51] <dave421> and that's where this dummy interface comes in :)
[16:51] <tanubis> anyone know if you can have multiple bluetooth headsets sharing one dongle and one sound input / output?
[16:51] <hischild> soundray, perhaps tunctl?
[16:51] <Seveas> dave421, that sounds like you're trying to fool a bad copy protection
[16:51] <soundray> !boot | jdix123
[16:51] <ubotu> jdix123: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[16:51] <dave421> Seveas - no, I'm doing this with the permission of the company that makes it
[16:51] <zo0mguy> how do I install mysql on unbuntu plz
[16:51] <bieb> !sound
[16:51] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[16:52] <Seveas> dave421, there's really no reason we should beleive that ;)
[16:52] <dave421> but yes, that is the general idea.  It's more to identify the user of the software (ie me) to the company, than fooling anything or getting round licensing
[16:52] <dave421> Seveas - there's no reason to not believe it!
[16:52] <dave421> :)
[16:52] <zo0mguy> #apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev ?
[16:52] <dave421> they even gave me a week's long licence to try this out
[16:52] <dave421> so I don't have to fork over €3000 if it doesn't work
[16:52] <dave421> (3000 euros)
[16:52] <tanubis> zo0mguy yeah, that should give the basics to you.  You'll need to know a bit about how to configure it after you install it though.
[16:53] <Seveas> dave421, the all-to-commonness of piracy is ;) But anyway, there's a 'dummy' module in my kernel. Doesn't 'sudo modprobe dummy' work for you?
[16:53] <hischild> dave421, if you must use it, i suggest you take a look at tunctl to create a tap device which you can route to your eth0.
[16:53] <dave421> Seveas - nope, it says "FATAL: Module dummy not found"
[16:53] <Seveas> dave421, odd, which kernel version?
[16:53] <Seveas> (uname -a)
[16:53] <soundray> !lamp | zo0mguy, this page contains help on installing and configuring mysql
[16:53] <ubotu> zo0mguy, this page contains help on installing and configuring mysql: 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+)
[16:54] <dave421> 2.6.16-xenU
[16:54] <tanubis> zo0mguy once you've got those packages in, I'd recommend phpmysqladmin to finish setting it up.
[16:54] <zo0mguy> thanks tanubis
[16:54] <Seveas> tanubis, zo0mguy: it's phpmyadmin, not phpmysqladmin ;)
[16:54] <dave421> hischild - that sounds like a great idea
[16:54] <tanubis> apologies :S
[16:54] <Seveas> dave421, ah, you built your own kernel
[16:54] <zo0mguy> or phpflashadmin :)
[16:54] <dave421> Seveas - well, actually I used an existing EC2 image provided through Amazon
[16:54] <dave421> I guess that guy made his own :)
[16:54] <_moro_bana_>  is freeBSD not linux?
[16:55] <Seveas> dave421, this is Ubuntu support, not EC2 support :)
[16:55] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, no
[16:55] <dave421> Seveas - the problem is with Ubuntu, not EC2
[16:55] <hischild> dave421, if you're using xen, you should be able to just add a second NIC and route it through dom0
[16:55] <dave421> hischild - it's Amazon's xen, though
[16:55] <dave421> :)
[16:55] <Seveas> dave421, ubuntu kernels have this module. You don't run an Ubuntu kernel
[16:56] <dave421> Seveas - it's a ubuntu kernel
[16:56] <zo0mguy> here is what I get:
[16:56] <zo0mguy> ~$ apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
[16:56] <zo0mguy> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[16:56] <zo0mguy> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[16:56] <FloodBot1> zo0mguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:56] <zo0mguy> sorry
[16:56] <hischild> dave421, well, then please explain to me why you need ubuntu support if you're running a domU kernel, while you could just add a second nic to it and route dom0 for it?
[16:56] <Seveas> zo0mguy, sudo apt-get install .... etc
[16:56] <TWP-SirStaal> I did run wine with Ubuntu (the 2.1.4 version). When I conected to a server is says "Unable to initialize outbound codec (6.1-11025 hz. 16 bit) unable to find the specified codec. someone know whats wrong?
[16:56] <Seveas> you need the sudo
[16:56] <_moro_bana_> Seveas:i thought it was, how are they different then?
[16:56] <zo0mguy> ok thanks
[16:56] <TWP-SirStaal> I did run ventrilo*
[16:57] <kane77> zo0mguy, you need to be root to install stuff
[16:57] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, different kernel (bsd kernel vs linux), different userland (bsd userland vs gnu)
[16:57] <dave421> "Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy AMI"
[16:57] <Seveas> dave421, ask Amazon for support then.
[16:57] <dave421> Seveas - it's a UBUNTU KERNEL :)
[16:57] <dave421> so I'll ask Ubuntu :)
[16:57] <hischild> dave421, it is not
[16:57] <Seveas> dave421, it is not
[16:57] <_moro_bana_> its linux kernel
[16:58] <dave421> It says Ubuntu all over it, it was built from Ubuntu's source
[16:58] <dave421> that makes it about as Ubuntu as possible, surely
[16:58] <Seveas> dave421, ubuntu 7.10 has 2.6.20, not 2.6.16
[16:58] <hischild> dave421, ubuntu kernels DO have the dummy package. xen support isn't here.
[16:58] <dave421> unless it changes its name to Ubuntu McUbuntu, and moves to 100 Ubuntu Towers, Ubuntuville, Ubuntushire.
[16:58] <Seveas> dave421, so for the last time: it's not an Ubuntu problem. Ask amazon/ec2 for support.
[16:58] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: i kinda understand the kernel stuff, but what is userland
[16:58] <Dazedit> why can't I login to the ubuntu forums?
[16:58] <dave421> hischild - this one is obviously not your stock Ubuntu, but it definitely is Ubuntu
[16:59] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, C library, coreutils (rm, ln, cp, ls ...) lots of low level things
[16:59] <hischild> dave421, ubuntu means that you run the ubuntu kernel. You run the xen kernel. It might be build for ubuntu, but it isn't the ubuntu kernel. Please ask amazon for help if they run dom0.
[16:59] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, the GUI is X.org, it's pretty much the same on bsd and linux
[16:59] <dave421> but let's not get bogged down in semantics.  hischild - how can I install that tunctl?
[17:00] <KennethP> I'm trying to keep a package from being updated with sudo echo <package> hold|dpkg --set-selections but gets this error: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area. Any ideas?
[17:00] <SuperQ> KennethP: sudo?
[17:00] <SuperQ> oh
[17:00] <SuperQ> I seee
[17:00] <Seveas> KennethP, echo <package> hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
[17:00] <KennethP> SuperQ: yes and I enter the pw also
[17:01] <Slart> KennethP: I think using sudo like that only runs the first part as root.. ie the stuff after the pipe thingy isn't run as root
[17:01] <Seveas> you had the sudo on the wrong place
[17:01] <Seveas> Slart, precisely :)
[17:01] <SuperQ> KennethP: sudo isn't passed through the |
[17:01] <_moro_bana_> Seveasl i see, have to try bsd maybe,experiment. thanks a lot for the info
[17:01] <KennethP> ahhhh - thanks guys!
[17:02] <hischild> dave421, ok. Despite the doubts i'll give you a hand. it should be provided in a package.
[17:02] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, if you want to try bsd, there's several flavors: freebsd, netbsd, openbsd. I prefer freebsd over the others
[17:02] <dave421> thanks, hischild, I appreciate it :)
[17:03] <hischild> dave421, uml-utilities
[17:03] <hischild> dave421, and not to be rude or anything, but the man page of that should provide you with all the info you need.
[17:03] <dave421> hischild - thanks - I installed that package and now I have it :)
[17:03] <dave421> Thanks for your help, it's priceless
[17:04] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: can i get it from the internet like ubuntu.what made you come to ubuntu, guess you started with bsd
[17:04] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, yes you can. Google is your friend in this case :)
[17:04] <Bankai--> i have ubuntu dapper drake server installed on my virtualbox, when i start it up it stops at Kernel loading only, any idea how to fix this?
[17:04] <benanzo> when I encrypt an MBR disk image with a single ext3 filesystem with gpg then do: "cat Image.img.gpg > /dev/sdb1" both parted and fdisk thinks the encrypted partition has a GUID partition table.  Is this normal?
[17:04] <jdix123> Seveas:  what is the "tee" command you suggested to load ipx module?
[17:05] <jdix123> Bankai:  VBox does not support the server version of the ubuntu kernel
[17:05] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: yes i can find it.
[17:05] <Seveas> jdix123, it's a way of doing outpur redirection as root. The 'echo ipx | tee -a /etc/modules' command added the word ipx to the /etc/modules files so the module gets loaded at boot time.
[17:05] <dave421> and I'd suggest to anyone who's interested to check out Amazon's EC2 service - it's incredibly powerful
[17:05] <dave421> if confusing :-P
[17:05] <jdix123> Seveas, I get the echo command did that.  what is the tee?  specifically?
[17:06] <Seveas> jdix123, 'man tee' for all the details :)
[17:06] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: can you handle this one? , my synaptic ,apt,aptitude stopped working
[17:06] <dfeuer> I've been looking for info on a wireless networking problem for a while, and haven't yet found info on it, or a person who knows about it.  Specific combo Lenovo T61p with Intel wireless.  Anyone familiar with it?
[17:06] <jdix123> oh yeah.  duh.
[17:06] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, I need a bit more info :)
[17:06] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, like an actual error
[17:06] <aschmack> dfeuer, have you tried ndiswrapper
[17:07] <jdix123> dfeuer, are you trying to use ndiswrapper?
[17:07] <Seveas> !wifi | dfeuer, looked here already?
[17:07] <ubotu> dfeuer, looked here already?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[17:07] <cellofellow> Is this Flash upgrade safe? I remember some problems with the last one.
[17:07] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: well apt just halts at 0% when downlading, wait let me start synaptic and see what it gives me
[17:07] <Seveas> cellofellow, I haven't heard a problem report about it yet
[17:07] <cellofellow> ok
[17:07] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:08] <benanzo> does the header created by GPG resemble the same as a GUID partition table?  Is this coincidence or intentional?
[17:08] <Seveas> benanzo, that sentence made no sense at all, I'm afraid
[17:08] <Seveas> gpg has nothing to do with partitions
[17:08] <Seveas> (except that it lives on a partition of course, like all files)
[17:09] <benanzo> cat /dev/sdb1 | gpg -ce > sdb1.img.gpg
[17:09] <benanzo> cat sdb1.img.gpg | gpg -d > /dev/sdb1
[17:09] <benanzo> pardon
[17:09] <benanzo> cat sdb1.img.gpg > /dev/sdb1
[17:10] <benanzo> encrypted partition with GPG shows as GPT in fdisk and parted
[17:10] <Seveas> ahhh :)
[17:10] <onca> got ?s on installing over a wifi connection, I have the 8.4 release iso and I'm using UNetbootin to configure boot.ini and grub, can anyone advise me. I simply need direction to config the WiFi configuration, no wep open auth infrastructure mode I have a SSID.
[17:10] <Seveas> benanzo, that would be completely coincidental
[17:10] <Seveas> benanzo, and there are better ways to encrypt your partitions...
[17:11] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62737/
[17:11] <onca> Should it be simple, from the Gnome desktop?
[17:12] <benanzo> Yes I know but I was just playing around with it and when I went to reformat it I notice the disk has GPT now -- or at least fdisk/parted think it does.  Despite the fact that the data is absolutely scrambled so they don't know what they're looking at anyway.
[17:12] <jdix123> onca, I had problems with the gnome front end configuring my wireless, I had to use iwconfig
[17:12] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, ah, you've used automatix and enabled the beryl repos. You probably already ruined your system with that
[17:12] <cellofellow> Why would anybody use Beryl now that there's Compiz-Fusion?
[17:13] <Seveas> cellofellow, because people might not know that :)
[17:13] <cellofellow> Figures. Automatix... yeah, I see your point. :)
[17:14] <benanzo> the only thing readable on the disk is the GPG header, which must be incredible similar to a GPT header since both fdisk and parted think that's what it is.
[17:14] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: i removed automatix a long time ago after learnign it wasnt good for my system, fresh install then right ?
[17:14] <aschmack> is there any special configuring i have to do to install + use emerald or do i just install it via synaptic
[17:14] <Lammy10> Hi, what funtion does updatedb have. all of a sudden my CPU light went up and i $ top  and saw that updatedb was on, i did $ man updatedb   but am clueless
[17:14] <Seveas> benanzo, it's not the header that counts, just a few bytes determine what is seen as the partition type
[17:14] <hischild> Lammy10, it updates a search index which you can use with locate.
[17:14] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, well, at least disable the automatix and beryl repos in your sources.list
[17:15] <ikaros> hi, how can i set the mtu for my et0 interface so its set to 1500 at startup? i tried "ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500" in rc.local but it didnt work
[17:15] <Lammy10> hischild, ah ok, thank you ;)
[17:16] <onca> oh, it appears I need ndiswrapper to install my driver for this wifi card.
[17:16] <Kohnrad1982> hello.  Im a recent ubuntu convert and am looking for something similar to Frontpage.  Any ideas?
[17:16] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: that is deleting the lines from the file, am i right?
[17:16] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, correct
[17:16] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Nvu, but it's in development. There's a fork that's a KDE program I forgot the name.
[17:16] <cellofellow> Anybody?
[17:17] <cellofellow> Komposer I think.
[17:17] <jdix123> onca, the ndiswrapper website is extremely helpful in setting it up
[17:17] <hischild> would it be possible (as in, won't cause conflicts) to mount the /home from my laptop via nfs on my main pc as /home and then login as the same user that is logged in on my laptop?
[17:17] <cellofellow> hischild: if you use LDAP for the user auth, no problem.
[17:17] <Seveas> hischild, that can cause "weird" things to happen but is mostly safe if the UID's are the same
[17:17] <aschmack> Kohnrad1982, komposer or amaya
[17:17] <hischild> cellofellow, never heard of LDAP.
[17:17] <echinos> good ol' update-manager -d
[17:18] <hischild> Seveas, UID's are user id's? and how would i go about checking those?
[17:18] <Seveas> hischild, the 'id' command on both machines should give the same number next to your loginname
[17:18] <recon> Speaking of UID's, how do you add a new User ID to a GPG key?
[17:18] <vavincavent> Kohnrad1982: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsApplicationsEquivalents
[17:18] <onca> jdix123, I'm reading up on the process, but the trick is to retain the information and apply it when I dun have access to it. Wich, I'm terrible @.
[17:19] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Kompozer
[17:19] <mmm4m5m> Question: Can I unload (like more free space and memory) desktop panel instead delete? I want to have it setup and ready but to load it only when I need it.
[17:19] <recon> er, never mind. found it.
[17:19] <Seveas> recon, gpg --edit-key
[17:19] <Nitro> I'm searching for (hopefully) some answers. When I try to logout, restart, whatever that involves X11, it won't work. X11 refuse to stop, so each time I want to do something I have to use control+alt+backspace. Anyone know a solution?
[17:19] <recon> Seveas: thanks.
[17:19] <hischild> Seveas, i see. And would i be able to change that number? as my main pc as 1003 and the laptop has 1000
[17:19] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: one thing i want to ask about fresh installs, my kpvnc on my fresh inst shows its connected to microsoft pptp but my browser can load
[17:19] <jdix123> onca, try saving the location of the threads/websites/howtos in a text file.  that's how I re-visit fixes
[17:19] <Seveas> hischild, difficult but not impossible. Easy to mess up and dangerous :)
[17:19] <Kohnrad1982> ok, ill check out kompozer. i was looking at that website, but thought I needed NVU.
[17:20] <hischild> Seveas, i see. So the best way to go about that would be to add a new user that has the same id and then use that user to share it. correct?
[17:20] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, sorry, I know nothing about kvpnc
[17:20] <benanzo> hischild: useradd -u "UID" to for a specific uid
[17:20] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Nvu has fallen by the wayside, I think. I'm not sure though. There's also Seamonkey, the old Mozilla Suite that still has the HTML editor in it.
[17:20] <dmsuperm1n> hey guys, ssh'ing from work, and i've just opened irssi
[17:20] <Seveas> hischild, well, they must have the same username too or some apps will get confused
[17:21] <dmsuperm1n> is there a way to make sure that irssi will stay open even if i disconnect? will it?
[17:21]  * ^Migs^ pats dmsuperm1n on the head
[17:21] <Seveas> dmsuperm1n, 'man screen' :)
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, ofcourse but that's just common sense imo =)
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, sounds like a new project for tonight once i get back. Thanks and good luck.
[17:21] <\24had0w> Всем привет!
[17:21] <benanzo> hischild: best way to do it is to archive your home dir and any other files your user owns, then remove him and add the new one with "useradd -u "UID" "USERNAME"
[17:21] <Seveas> hischild, I don't count on commen sense anymore. I've seen people in here do too many stupid things :)
[17:21] <Seveas> !ru \24had0w
[17:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ru \24had0w - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:21] <mmm4m5m> привет :)
[17:21] <Seveas> !ru | \24had0w mmm4m5m
[17:21] <ubotu> \24had0w mmm4m5m: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, hehe i understand
[17:22] <\24had0w> Ладно, пасиб:)
[17:22] <mmm4m5m> wow, this was nice :)
[17:22] <hischild> benanzo, i'll just create a new user, don't have the space to archive the whole home dir ;-)
[17:22] <hischild> see you all later
[17:22] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: my favorite HTML editor is Bluefish, but it's not WYSIWYG, just a nice text editor for HTML/XML/PHP.
[17:22] <nikhil__> hey guys, is there any way to know total net usage data over a period of time of my choice?
[17:23] <Seveas> nikhil__, there are several monitoring programs that can achieve that
[17:23] <bastid_raZor> dmsuperm1n; the ideal way would be ssh in.. then type screen .. then start irssi .. if you lose connection (do not log out) you'll be able to pick up where you left off by logging back in and typing screen -r
[17:23] <inSanity_> hi
[17:23] <Seveas> nikhil__, but they can't magically look in the past so it'll only work from the moment you install/enable them
[17:23] <nikhil__> Seveas, could u suggest a good one?
[17:23] <Slart> nikhil__: I think nload can do it.. and it gives you a nice terminal graph of network usage
[17:23] <inSanity_> I upgrade to hedgy heron, anyone an idea how to install firefox2 ?
[17:23] <Slart> !info nload
[17:24] <inSanity_> firefox3 does not work well
[17:24] <ubotu> nload (source: nload): A realtime console network usage monitor. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.0-3 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 120 kB
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: it's in the repositories too
[17:24] <Seveas> nikhil__, mrtg is nice, simple iptables rules can help you too. Or cacti
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: see #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <jdix123> how can I tell if IPX loaded and is working properly?
[17:24] <inSanity_> #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <inSanity_> ?
[17:24] <mmm4m5m> Question: System Monitor show that gedit is using 104.7 MB virtual memory. Is that ok for simple notepad program? (the same with pidgin)
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: type /j #ubuntu+1 for hardy support :)
[17:24] <Seveas> nikhil__, I'm going to have to tell you to 'google it' if you want more details since that will the fastest way to get info :)
[17:24] <cellofellow> mmm4m5m: which GEdit is not. Try leafpad for that.
[17:25] <mmm4m5m> 10x
[17:25] <Slart> mmm4m5m: as long as nothing wants memory, let it use it
[17:25] <Seveas> jdix123, lsmod | grep ipx
[17:25] <inSanity_> Jaymac : thanks mate!
[17:25] <Jaymac> inSanity_: no problem
[17:27] <helkate87> hello there! i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that its missing eth file, how do i fix this?
[17:28] <javaJake> Does the Mac x86 version of Ubuntu have a memtest that works? I want a nice easy way to test the memory on an Intel MacBook, and an Ubuntu LiveCD seemed to be the best way to do that
[17:28] <mmm4m5m> Slart, cellofellow: my problems are desktop applets (trashapplet = 60 MB virtual memory). I feel like these toolbars are talking a lot resources. If I know so, I will remove some of these "nice" features. (it is P4 laptop)
[17:28] <Damion> howdy?
[17:28] <Damion> er
[17:28] <jos__> heello a have instaled updates andt nauw youre tube has no sound ?
[17:28] <Damion> minus the question mark.
[17:28] <Damion> How's it going?
[17:28] <Tommy179> hallo
[17:28] <jos__>  youre tube no sound how to fix it?
[17:28] <magnetron> how do i graphically empty the trash for a mounted partition?
[17:28] <MrBill> I've installed gnomebaker on my system and am using it to burn my CDs and DVDs, however, when I put a blank in I'm still being prompted automatically to burn, or ignore. Is there a way to disable this automatic prompting?
[17:28] <Seveas> mmm4m5m, don't look at the 'virtual memory', that's misleading :)
[17:28] <mmm4m5m> ok, 10x a lot
[17:29] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that its missing eth file, how do i fix this?
[17:29] <magnetron> MrBill: System > Preferences > removable media
[17:29] <MrBill>  Thank you magnetron
[17:29] <jos__>  youre tube no sound how to fix it? in ubunt the soud is worijg oke on de systemm?
[17:29] <Damion> so I tried to install xubuntu about a month back now and gave up because I couldn't burn a liveCD that worked, so I figured I'd wait for a ubuntu official release to come in the mail
[17:30] <jdix123> crap.  I did a "ipx_interface add -p eth0" but I need it on wlan0
[17:30] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that i need to do own eth file
[17:30] <Damion> none of "start or install", "start in low graphics mode" and "CD test" work
[17:30] <Damion> after the screen with the orange loading bar
[17:30] <magnetron> !enter | Damion
[17:30] <ubotu> Damion: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:30] <Damion> kk
[17:31] <Seveas> hey magnetron :)
[17:31] <helkate87> Damion, i doubt its the cds fault.
[17:31] <magnetron> Seveas: hi.
[17:31] <Damion> After the loading bar, it puts me in a program called BusyBox.
[17:31] <Seveas> Damion, that could mean the cd is broken
[17:32] <Damion> BusyBox presents me with a simple prompt, but starts spitting out text
[17:32] <jos__> is it u bags wen you doint have sound in youretube?
[17:32] <jos__> bug
[17:32] <Damion> the hash isn't correct
[17:32] <javaJake> Anyone here use Ubuntu? Does the memtest on the Ubuntu LiveCD work for you?
[17:32] <javaJake> On a mac, *cough*
[17:32] <Damion> I checked the CD and it gave me a hash that started with 1
[17:32] <lartza_> Hi! WHy does xmms "steal" the musci output?
[17:32] <helkate87>  Damion: i think its somekind of compatibility problem with your pc, i think you should try use different boot options..
[17:32] <Seveas> Damion, then burn a new one (make sure the iso file is correct!)
[17:32] <sjovan> javaJake: no, no one on a ubuntu channel uses ubunut :)
 Damion, then burn a new one (make sure the iso file is correct!) <-- I've tried to download the xubuntu iso three times
[17:33] <javaJake> sjovan: heheheh
[17:33] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager. how do i add my wlan there?
[17:33] <Damion> none of those times match the hash on the website
[17:33] <chtp> hi folks. i have some trouble with unattended installation of clients via pxe. if vga monitor hangs on vga port, the installation works fine, but with unplugged  vga connector, the client hangs after receiving pxe image. anyone here has a hint whats going wrong?
[17:33] <javaJake> sjovan: yea, I realized that was the wrong question after I hit ENTER. :P
[17:33] <Damion> (but all three of them match each other)
[17:33] <Seveas> Damion, are you sure you're looking at the right hash then?
[17:33] <Damion> I know it's a different one for the disc
[17:33] <Seveas> or are you lost in a coffeeshop with too much hash around you? :)
[17:33] <sjovan> javaJake: mhm :) what is mentes btw?
[17:34] <lartza_> Hi! Why does xmms "steal" sound output? I can't hear sound from other programs when I have xmms running.
[17:34] <Damion> but for the ISOs
[17:34] <echinos> whoa - upgrade to hardy is taking a loooong cat time
[17:34] <bullgard4> [Fantasdic]: "Could not connect to dict://vocabulary.aioe.org" Portnummer=2628. What should I do?
[17:34] <lartza_> Portnummer > Portnumber ?
[17:34] <jdix123> question: is IPX such an outdated protocol that its incompatible with wifi?
[17:34] <Seveas> Damion, disk and iso should have the same md5sum, otherwise the burn went wrong. Burn at a lower speed
[17:34] <echinos> Chow do I get update-manager -d touse a close mirror?
[17:34] <bastid_raZor> echinos; 300 and some odd meg of updates.. takes a bit to install all that
[17:34] <Damion> kk
[17:34] <lartza_> Hi! Why does xmms "steal" sound output? I can't hear sound from other programs when I have xmms running. And how to fix it?
[17:35] <Seveas> !repeat | lartza_
[17:35] <ubotu> lartza_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[17:35] <Seveas> lartza_, try an audioplayer from this century.
[17:35] <lartza_> Seveas: I know I know
[17:35] <dave421> One more question - how do I make sure portmap loads on startup?
[17:35] <lartza_> Seveas: But, it's lightweight
[17:35] <mheath> lartza_: XMMS is outdated and configured by default to use an older audio framework.
[17:35] <kane77> lartza_, what about audacious?
[17:35] <Seveas> dave421, unless you disabled it, it starts automatically at startup
[17:35] <echinos> bastid_raZor: well, yeah, but this is taking longer than it should
[17:35] <dave421> I had to install it using apt-get
[17:35] <mheath> lartza_: In essence, XMMS is more-or-less directly accessing your audio card, and thus is monopolizing it
[17:36] <dave421> would that install it to run automatically?
[17:36] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it seems like the server is lagging 'casue there are a lot of people on it
[17:36] <mheath> lartza_: Newer applications use a higher-level framework that allows multiple applications to share the sound card.
[17:36] <Tommy179> Hallo
[17:36] <Seveas> lartza_, there are other lightweight players too (beep-media-player, audacity..)
[17:36] <echinos> I should be able to download 300 megs in less than an hour
[17:36] <lartza_> audacity isn't audioplayer...
[17:36] <echinos> the time estimate is over 8 hours
[17:36] <dfeuer> Does anyone here know a reason for me to back up Windows Vista (Home Basic edition) before wiping it?
[17:36] <kane77> Seveas, isn't audacity audio editor?
[17:36] <lartza_> i'll try audacious and beep
[17:36] <Seveas> lartza_, audacious then (I always mess up those names)
[17:36] <bastid_raZor> echinos; it took a fair amount of time to download for me.. i can get 900Kb/s .. so 15 minutes is a long time..took nearly 40
[17:36] <Scunizi> dfeuer, you won't find any here
[17:37] <echinos> bastid_raZor: long time== 8 hours
[17:37] <echinos> well, 6 now
[17:37] <Scunizi> dfeuer, unless you anticipate putting it back on.. or maybe create a vm out of it to run inside of ubuntu
[17:37] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager. iwconfig says nothing..
[17:37] <TMC_> how this is starting to piss me off, these desktop links won't go away
[17:37] <mheath> dfeuer: Yes; before performing any major operations, regardless of operating system, you should backup all important information and things you want to save.
[17:37] <TMC_> how do i delete them? Anyone?
[17:37] <dfeuer> There is no important information on it, mheath.
[17:37] <dfeuer> It's pretty much a clean install.
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> echinos; yeah.. that is a bit long. do you notice any speeds at all? are you monitoring your upload/download speeds? is it still downloading?
[17:38] <mheath> dfeuer: OK, then, if you plan on installing Ubuntu on top of it, you should be OK.
[17:38] <bullgard4> [Fantasdic]: "Could not connect to dict://vocabulary.aioe.org" Port number=2628. What should I do?
[17:38] <dfeuer> And it's way too big for my (80 GB) hard drive.
[17:38] <lartza_> Does any lightweight one have real ipod suppoert? With xmms I had to create playlist of iPod's music folder.
[17:38] <kane77> dfeuer, then you need not worry...
[17:39] <dfeuer> Hehe, I always worry, but sitting here burning 10 CD-Rs is not my idea of a good time.
[17:39] <bastid_raZor> lartza_; rhythmbox possibly
[17:39] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it seems to lag often on certain files
[17:39] <echinos> it's stalled, went to 1 day
[17:39] <lartza_> bastid_raZor: lightweight!
[17:40] <kane77> dfeuer, I guess you don't need to backup the vista itself, but rather only settings and your data...
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> echinos; possibly your mirror is having issues.. mine was a constant speed.. slower than normal but constant
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> lartza_; google for it. google is your friend
[17:40] <echinos> bastid_raZor: can i just use do-release-upgrade from console?
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> echinos; that i don't know..
[17:40] <echinos> I'm gonna try it, maybe it will show me what's going on.
[17:41] <bastid_raZor> echinos; tell me what it reports.. if you don't mind
[17:41] <echinos> will do
[17:41] <lartza_> audacious has kinda crooked GUI
[17:42] <lartza_> area audacious and beep the one and the same program? :P
[17:42] <Seveas> lartza_, both are forks of xmms
[17:43] <Damion> When switching from windows 98 se to ubuntu or xubuntu, using Telus ADSL, what should I do to ensure that I can connect when I've made the switch?
[17:43] <Scunizi> Damion, try the live cd first and see if your nic/wireless work.. if it does there it will on install
[17:43] <echinos> 984 megs to download, it estimates between 2 and 3 hours
[17:43] <Damion> k
[17:44] <echinos> it's gotta be my repository being slow
[17:44] <CannibalM> Any ideas of where to go for some SSL help?
[17:44] <CannibalM> I can't get my final machine working
[17:44] <CannibalM> and I'm on day two now... :-/
[17:45] <CannibalM> the vhosts file is fine,
[17:45] <CannibalM> but it keeps failing
[17:45] <Damion> I use a large external drive I loaned from a friend. I don't have enough space on my own hard drive to back it up, and I don't really know if I want to reformat it for FAT32 because I don't own it and if friend ever calls it back in, he uses Windows. Can I still use it even though it's formatted to NTFS or whatever the Windows standard is?
[17:45] <lartza_> so bmp is fork of xmms and audacious is fork of bmp and then there is bmpx?!?
[17:45] <CannibalM> meanwhile, the system is live so bringing it down over and over to try something is a big pain
[17:46] <legend2440> TMC_: open terminal type cd Desktop then sudo rm Li<tab key> then enter. This worked for me
[17:46] <echinos> hah
[17:47] <tommy> Hallo
[17:47] <CannibalM> anyone?
[17:47] <CannibalM> :-/
[17:47] <echinos> bastid_raZor: Ichanged my repository, it now says You have to download a total of 1042M. This download will take about
[17:47] <echinos> 24 minutes with your connection.
[17:47] <nixnoob> my lexmark printer prints only the first page and then stops is there any way to fix that?
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> echinos; by repo your mean what? you added some repo's or which mirror you download from?
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> echinos; yeah i get about 750KB/s on average from tthe mirror  i use
[17:48] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it's breezing thru them now... I was using ca.archive.ubuntu.ca one
[17:49] <amenado> CannibalM-> what error are you getting if any?
[17:49] <echinos> bastid_raZor: no, diferent mirror, yeah
[17:49] <echinos> i'm getting 744K now
[17:49] <echinos> er, 815
[17:49] <bastid_raZor> echinos; excellent.
[17:49] <echinos> tasty!
[17:51] <boxer-> hi
[17:52] <archman> guys how to remove all that files that have cedilla after filenames (ie: filename~.txt) ? They eat up space, no?
[17:52] <aschmack> rm *~*
[17:52] <aschmack> archman
[17:53] <archman> aschmack: will remove all files?
[17:53] <aschmack> with tildes yes
[17:53] <archman> aschmack: all files on system?
[17:53] <_Rambaldi_> are they called cedilla?
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> echinos; i use us.archinve.ubuntu .. hasn't failed me yet :)
[17:53] <aschmack> theyre tildes
[17:53] <archman> tilda yes
[17:53] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, no, tilde
[17:53] <aschmack> and no, just in the current directory
[17:54] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, a cedilla is the , in the ç
[17:54] <aschmack> doing the whole system might be dangerous
[17:54] <_Rambaldi_> thats what i thought from my little french
[17:54] <archman> aschmack: how to disable the creation of that files?
[17:54] <archman> theire like backups...
[17:54] <jmoiron> question about vim in ubuntu;  i'm using a modified version of the default .vimrc which is supposed to save my previous cursor position, but it's not working
[17:54] <echinos> bastid_raZor: I get better luck with mirrors north of the 49th parallel
[17:55] <sjoerd> tinin: wrong
[17:55] <jmoiron> the same .vimrc gives me the desired effect in debian.. are there extra vim packages i need to install? i got rid of vim-tiny and installed vim-full, but it still doesn't work
[17:55] <DAM43334> Need help with OpenVPN, I can connect to the VPN server (10.x network), but can not connect to machines connected to 192.x subnet.
[17:56] <tushyd> I want to update to the newest abiword but if I try to sudo apt-get install abiword it says I already have the newest version. (i have 2.4.6 and 2.6.0 just released)
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> echinos; location location location..
[17:56] <echinos> bastid_raZor: what I want to know is how to do the "best server" test from command line
[17:56] <Seveas> DAM43334, you need to set up IP forwarding on the vpn host
[17:56] <_Rambaldi_> what is the command to search for files in terminal
[17:56] <helkate87> should ubuntu do wlan0 config file automatically?
[17:56] <tushyd> _Rambaldi_, locate
[17:56] <echinos> _Rambaldi_: there are a few ways
[17:56] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, slocate, mlocate or find
[17:56] <DAM43334> Seveas: i've already enabled ip forwarding.
[17:56] <archman> tushyd: try sudo apt-get update; and then install
[17:56] <helkate87> should ubuntu do wlan0 config file automatically?
[17:56] <Seveas> DAM43334, and set up the appropriate DNAT/SNAT rules or routing?
[17:56] <tushyd> archman, thanks I'll try that
[17:57] <cheesypieces> hi guys, does anyone have any idea why synaptic won't run? it comes up saying starting administrative application but then nothing happens
[17:57] <eth01> Regards, Dr Thomas B Markey MBChB MRCGP LLM Adv.Dip.Psych, Neurology Specialist
[17:57] <eth01> err ignore ^
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> echinos; that i don't know.. im' sure someone in here may be able to answer that.. or in #ubuntu+1
[17:57] <_Rambaldi_> thanks
[17:57] <archman> cheesypieses: i had that problem, you gotta mess with permissions...
[17:57] <DAM43334> Seveas: will google what you recommended thanks.
[17:57] <tushyd> archman, it says the same thing. abiword is already the newest version
[17:58] <cheesypieces> archman: how do i do that?
[17:58] <tushyd> have the ubuntu repositories been updated with the newest abiword?
[17:58] <archman> tushyd: then they didnt update the mirrors...sorry
[17:58] <Seveas> jmoiron, stick this in the .vimrc:
[17:58] <Seveas> if has("autocmd")
[17:58] <Seveas>   au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$")
[17:58] <Seveas>     \| exe "normal g'\"" | endif
[17:58] <Seveas> endif
[17:58] <FloodBot1> Seveas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:58] <tushyd> archman, thanks anyways :)
[17:58]  * Seveas pets the FloodBot1 
[17:58] <jmoiron> Seveas: i have that in my vimrc already
[17:58] <jmoiron> what i'm saying is that it doesn't work
[17:58] <echinos> what is #ubuntu+1?
[17:59] <Jimbo> Advise me a free shell account please someone.
[17:59] <archman> cheesypieces: i done that by chown -R archman:archman /home/archman, but you don't try that; you'll mess up your system; someone here will now; maybe bazhang; contact him...
[17:59] <_Rambaldi_> its a channel for hary heron
[17:59] <Seveas> jmoiron, is 'set nocompatible' in there as well? Did you update the vim alternative with update-alternatives?
[17:59] <echinos> _Rambaldi_: sweet!
[17:59] <jmoiron> vim alternative is set to vim.full
[18:00] <Seveas> Jimbo, look elsewhere for free shell accounts.
[18:00] <jmoiron> set nocompatible is done by debian.vim;  let me check if i am setting compatible (doubt it)
[18:00] <Seveas> jmoiron, (needless to say, it works fine for me)
[18:00] <jmoiron> i'm not.. neither is /usr/share/vimrc
[18:00] <archman> tushyd: try to build new version from source...
[18:01] <Datz> Hi, is ubuntu availiable for Mac 8.6?
[18:02] <nixnoob> how can i print a file fromt he command line?
[18:02] <kuta> is there a way I can download wall paper like kubuntu?
[18:02] <jmoiron> what vim packages do you have installed?
[18:02] <mmm4m5m> Question: if I install ubuntu on USB HDD and want to run it on different hardware (not any hardware but 4-5 different PC) - are there any tools/hardware profiles. Do Will be most easy to create separate user for each PC? If possible I want both, to keep my user settings and when first time attached to new PC to run kind of hardware detection.

[18:04] <jpkeels> hello there
[18:04] <_Rambaldi_> is there a way to restrict locate to find just files or folders or specific names
[18:05] <jmoiron> Seveas: yea.. i have those, and vim-scripts, and vim, and vim-full..  and it's not working :|
[18:05] <dromer> any X-guru's out there?
[18:05] <mmm4m5m> Question: I do not want to end up with messed up (GUI) config files. I already read how to use different run level when laptop is "docked" or "undocked". But maybe there is some other way? I understand I could write scripts which could help me. I am asking - is there some tool which could help.

[18:05] <ubotu> dromer: 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?
[18:05] <kuta> is there a auto install of wallpaper in ubuntu as compare to kubuntu?
[18:06] <vincent_> hi

[18:06] <dromer> I changed my motherboard, did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to change the driver to i810 .. I can subsequently start X and get a login (running KDE btw) .. but when I log in .. nothing happens for a few minutes and then I get back to login
[18:06] <jpkeels> anyone have any idea.. why with xcdroast when I run it with sudo the first time i get "start to scan for devices..." but then it never finishes (even after hours of waiting)
[18:06] <Slart> kuta: or a screenlet.. can't remember which
[18:07] <dromer> kdm.log ends with an EE that GLX can't be started (there,'s no GLX in my xorg.conf btw)
[18:08] <Datz> Slart, I don't know where to find the supported architectures
[18:08] <Datz> or what architectures Mac 8.6 is for that matter
[18:08] <Slart> Datz: you're asking me? you're the one that wants to install ubuntu to it =)
[18:08] <Seveas> Datz, does 'mac 8.6' mean MacOS 8.6?
[18:09] <xthegoat121x> When using a Torrent... does it DL different parts of the files at different times?
[18:09] <Datz> yes
[18:09] <Datz> sorry it does
[18:09] <Seveas> If so, you're probably running on a powerpc mac. There is ubuntu for powerpc on ports.ubuntu.com
[18:09] <Datz> great thanks seveas
[18:09] <DAM43334> ok, i'm trying to understand what route to add to my open vpn server.  route add -net (internal subnet) netmask 255.255.255 gw ??? What would be the gw?  The gw for the vpn or the gw for the internal subnet?

[18:11] <Chris12345> Hi I'm currently trying to setup my wireless settings on the laptop

[18:14] <PowerTeam> How do i change btw sound cards in ubuntu?
[18:14] <Seveas> PowerTeam, power off the machine. open it. Unplug one soundcard, insert another. close computer, start it up
[18:14] <Slart> PowerTeam: asoundconf is supposed to be able to do it.. or change whatever application is playing the sound
[18:15] <dromer> Seveas: lol
[18:15] <Slart> hmmm
[18:15] <PowerTeam> I cant remove both cards, since one is builtin laptop and the other is a pcmcia sound  card
[18:15] <kuta> is there a opensource free invoicing software for ubuntu?
[18:16] <PowerTeam> Il check out asoundconf
[18:16] <Slart> kuta: have you looked at gnucash? it might have some kind of addon..
[18:16] <kuta> thanks
[18:17] <genii> PowerTeam: issuing asoundconf   by itself at commandline gives you the usages, including how to make another card the default
[18:17] <Datz> I'm having trouble finding  ubuntu for powerpc at ports.ubuntu.com
[18:17] <Datz> can anyone direct me further?
[18:17] <Slart> PowerTeam: if I wasn't an ubuntu-user myself I'd say "well. pulse-audio is standard in gutsy and it should be able to do this... " but alas.. pulse has only been very very uncooperative when it comes to my computer
[18:17] <jpkeels> how do I get XCDRoast to recognize sony CDR drive.. it is stuck at "starting to scan for devices"
[18:18] <tonyyarusso> kuta: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=invoic&searchon=all&suite=gutsy&section=all maybe
[18:18] <jmoiron> ugh it works on the 8.4 beta but not in 7.10

[18:18] <ccc__>  i have a problem with my ipod, itn't recognize by win xp
[18:18] <ccc__>  nobody can help me?
[18:18] <Seveas> Datz, sorry, ports.ubuntu.com apparently is only the package archive
[18:18] <FloodBot1> ccc__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <kuta> tonyyarusso: thanks for your info
[18:18] <Seveas> Datz, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/
[18:19] <Slart> ccc__: that sounds like a windows question.. ##windows might be able to help youi
[18:19] <ccc__> o ecuse i cut aND PASTE
[18:19] <dromer> so, nobody any idea why KDM wants to start GLX and fails miserably?
[18:19] <Piero_Scarufii> Is there a dutch speaking ubuntu channel from belgium maybe?
[18:19] <ccc__> on ubutnu is the same my ipod isn't work
[18:19] <Slart> !nl
[18:19] <ubotu> Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl
[18:20] <dromer> !be
[18:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about be - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:20] <dark> i ran a lspci in the terminal and it has detected 2 soundcards
[18:20] <Piero_Scarufii> No i mean from Belgium not Netherlands
[18:20] <dromer> hehe
[18:20] <Slart> don't know if there are any users from Belgium.. but it's the only one I know of where they speak dutch
[18:20] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: volgens mij niet, maakt het uit? (wil je vlaams praten? :P)
[18:20] <Seveas> the belgians are all in the dutch/french/german channels :)

[18:20] <mohbana> how do i set the no. of lines are scrolled when i use the scroll wheel on the mouse ... like as in system wide effects
[18:20] <Seveas> dromer, english only in here please...
[18:21] <bluefoxx> how do i burn a .daa disk image? i can't find any tools for it
[18:21] <dromer> how do I make kdm not want to start glx?
[18:22] <Piero_Scarufii> I am looking for a dutch alternative to #ubuntu-nl since it seems i wont be ever joining it again due to a never ever expiring ban so thats why my question is on topic thanks for your help though dromer i understand its belgian is similar to dutch but their mentality is why i would prefer a Belgium channel.
[18:22] <Slart> bluefoxx: it's a proprietary format I think.. poweriso perhaps?
[18:22] <Scunizi> bluefoxx, check out http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/12/05/open-extract-and-convert-daa-iso-and-bin-files-in-linux-with-free-poweriso-for-linux/
[18:22] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: start one
[18:22] <Piero_Scarufii> good idea dromer
[18:22] <bluefoxx> sladen: Scunizi thanks dudes
[18:22] <Datz> Seveas, thanks
[18:22] <Scunizi> bluefoxx, np
[18:22] <dark> Can anyone help me fix my soundcard?
[18:22] <jpkeels> when I run XCDroast with sudo I get "starting to scan for devices..." and it never finishes.  How do I fix that?
[18:22] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: and then make the maintainer of ubotu direct !be people to it :)
[18:23] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, you english is very good.. stick around here.
[18:23] <vincent_> i'm trying to write a floppy image to a floppy disk, but my computer says "/dev/fd0: filesystem is read only" but my floppy isn't closed (as in, the write-thingy isnt set wrong)
[18:23] <PowerTeam_> i do asoundconf list and  i see the list of me soundcards, how do i choose the default one?
[18:23] <kuta> is there a similar program like "logmein " for ubuntu?
[18:23] <Seveas> vincent_, are you trying it as root or with sudo?
[18:23] <Piero_Scarufii> i run the dutch language ubuntu though Scunizi
[18:23] <Slart> PowerTeam_: asoundconf set-default-card
[18:23] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, that would present a problem here.. :)
[18:24] <vincent_> Seveas, sudo
[18:24] <vincent_> i havent activated root
[18:24] <Seveas> vincent_, then it whould work.. odd
[18:24] <genii> bluefoxx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256084 for info on daa and ubuntu
[18:24] <dromer> vincent_: sudo -i gives a root terminal
[18:24] <Seveas> vincent_, what is the command you are trying?
[18:25] <PowerTeam_> I did: asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2     Do i have to reboot or will this work on the fly?
[18:25] <Slart> PowerTeam_: it should work on the fly
[18:25] <genii> vincent_: Whats the exact commad you are attempting?
[18:26] <vincent_> Seveas, dd if=fdboot.img of=/dev/fd0
[18:26] <ankit_> I just installed Firefox 3 beta, and since it uses the GTK theme, the tabs are huge... how would I customize the tab size?
[18:26] <Seveas> vincent_, I assume you mean 'sudo dd if..'
[18:26] <PriceChild> ankit_: the point is that they are the same as all the other tabs in your install... so change the gtk theme
[18:26] <dromer> ok, failsafe X-session does work, but I want my KDE :(
[18:26] <PowerTeam_> hmm, it didnt change anything to me gnome
[18:26] <vincent_> Seveas, yes
[18:26] <peleg> I am trying to listen to shoutcasts in amarok, and I keep getting "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes.". for example, in http://70.84.73.66:8002, which is one of the default shoutcasts in the software.
[18:26] <bram_> #ubuntu-nl
[18:27] <Seveas> vincent_, then I'm out of ideas :)
[18:27] <ankit_> PriceChild: Right... where would I do that?
[18:27] <vincent_> Seveas, ok
[18:27] <PowerTeam_> Ahh i found out
[18:27] <Seveas> !codecs | peleg you might be missing some codecs

[18:27] <PowerTeam_> Thx a lot for the help
[18:27] <Crembo> help! Radeon 9800, FGLRX user. bought new monitor. native resolution 1650x1050. I set it to such, but the monitor is smeared - checking its menus, ubuntu is actually outputting 1400x1050.. what to do?
[18:27] <PriceChild> ankit_: no idea sorry, probably some xml fun somewhere
[18:28] <steve3> hi
[18:28] <ankit_> PriceChild: Heh, awesome... thanks.
[18:28] <bram_> hello, can someone help me with ubuntu server?
[18:28] <Seveas> Crembo, maybe the card doesn't support that resolution
[18:29] <Crembo> Seveas: nope, friends running windows xp with that card using that resolution.
[18:29] <PowerTeam_> I just have reconfigure everything to alsa and now it works perfectly
[18:29] <jpkeels> why does XCDRoast get stuck on "starting to scan for devices..." and never finishes
[18:30] <sorbp> quick question is there xvid and x264 available that REALY works flawlessly under ubuntu?
[18:30] <Chousuke> yes?
[18:30] <Seveas> xcdroast.... last time I saw someone using that was 4 years ago :)
[18:30] <Crembo> sorbp: install "mplayer", it's all available from synaptic
[18:30] <sorbp> Crembo oki next step
[18:30] <PowerTeam_> Is there any midi software for linux wich is worth trying? i have usb ediro pcr500 keyboard
[18:31] <Seveas> PowerTeam_, timidity + freepats
[18:31] <sorbp> i had a problem today since i'm a compelate linux noob, i formated my usb stick to run a ubuntu install from it
[18:31] <Crembo> sorbp: use gmplayer command to play all your videos.
[18:31] <sorbp> BUT, it said mount the iso or rather put yourself in the same folder as the iso problem is i don't realy udnerstand linux filestructure
[18:31] <Crembo> sorbp: useful shortcuts: the "F" key switches to full screen, the arrow keys skip forward/backwards
[18:31] <Slart> Crembo: ati's site only lists the card as supporting 1600x1200 and 1920x1080 .. and some larger and some smaller resolutions..
[18:32] <sorbp> i'm used to the old windoes c:\blabla\etc
[18:32] <Crembo> Slart: yet still, I know for certain it works. plus, unlikely you can't force the card to dip slightly below 1600x1200. or maybe it's only the linux driver that's limited?
[18:33] <Crembo> sorbp: I don't know anything about installing from USB, just configuring the video player
[18:33] <Slart> Crembo: might be.. I've never owned one myself..
[18:33] <sorbp> ah ok
[18:33] <PowerTeam_> Seveas: does it support usb keyboards?
[18:33] <Kal_L> Hey guys, I got a newbie question.... is there any command on the shell that can add a character at the start and end of each line of a text file?
[18:33] <sorbp> Stroganoff you there?
[18:33] <Crembo> Slart: argh how frustrating.
[18:33] <Stroganoff> yes
[18:33] <Seveas> PowerTeam_, no idea - I've never used it myself
[18:33] <Seveas> Kal_L, sed
[18:33] <Gary_inNYC> hi, what does it mean when my comp logs myself out in the middle of watching a streaming video in firefox?  memory leak?
[18:33] <sorbp> oki can you help me, if i put something on my desktop where is it as a pth in the terminal?
[18:33] <sorbp> path?
[18:34] <PowerTeam_> Seveas: ok, il just check it out then
[18:34] <Kal_L> Seveas: Thanks... gotta read about it, hopefully I'll find out how
[18:34] <wapko> sorbp: /home/yourusername/Desktop/
[18:34] <Seveas> Kal_L, sed -e 's/.*/X&X/' -i /path/to/file --- replace X with the char to insert
[18:34] <Crembo> sorbp: it's at ~/Desktop
[18:34] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: logs out? or your X crashes?
[18:34] <Seveas> Kal_L, backup the file first :)
[18:34] <wapko> ..
[18:34] <Gary_inNYC> just logged me out
[18:35] <sorbp> so if i type /home/ubuntu/desktop/ that would be the desktop of the ubuntu live cd?
[18:35] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, ddi you hit <ctrl><alt><bkSp> perhaps?
[18:35] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I'm guessing the second option.. why would it log off? doesn't make sense
[18:35] <Seveas> sorbp, yes
[18:35] <sorbp> ok thans that will help tomorrow
[18:35] <Gary_inNYC> no, i was just watching a 2 hr streaming video in firefox while using IM
[18:35] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: what makes you think it logs out?
[18:35] <Kal_L> Seveas: Cheers :) Gonna give it a try and see if worked :) Thanks a bunch mate
[18:35] <azuki> is there a bash equivelent for IPCONFIG in the terminal ?
[18:35] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, you might have hit a bug in the X server
[18:35] <Slart> azuki: ifconfig
[18:35] <Gary_inNYC> it brought me back to the Ubuntu login screen.
[18:35] <Seveas> azuki, ifconfig / iwconfig
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: that's a crash
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> ic
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: X crashes.. and restarts.. and taddaaaa.. you're back at the login screen
[18:36] <Datz> Will the Kubuntu version run on a MacOS 8.6 with only 64MB or RAM?
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> is that by design?
[18:36] <Stroganoff> sorbp its case sensitive. "Desktop", not "desktop" (use [TAB] auto completion in the terminal)
[18:36] <Seveas> azuki, also: ip / route
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> i mean when x crashes that is...
[18:36] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, the crash obviously isn't, but the restarting is
[18:36] <goudkov> hi guys. does anyone know how to get a HMAC-SHA1 hash using openssl from the command line?
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I guess.. it's better than just staying closed down I think
[18:36] <sorbp> thnx Stroganoff that might be it, b.t.w why isent there ny easier way to mount images in linux
[18:36] <sorbp> i mean something like deamontools
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> true
[18:37] <sorbp> or just a built in script that allows you to right klick it in nautilus
[18:37] <Stroganoff> sorbp mount iso images? its pretty easy with fuseiso
[18:37] <Slart> !mountiso
[18:37] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - 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.
[18:37] <Seveas> goudkov, 'man openssl' -- it's a long but good read
[18:37] <sorbp> Stroganoff i can#t install fueiso on the livecd now can i
[18:37] <Stroganoff> gmountiso, interesting
[18:37] <Datz> Will the Kubuntu version run on a iMac with only 64MB or RAM?
[18:37] <Gary_inNYC> any tentative explanations as to why it would crash while doing those tasks?
[18:37] <azuki> thnx
[18:37] <goudkov> Seveas: i did. but can't find the info that i need.
[18:38] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: check the logs.. /var/log/syslog is a good place to start
[18:38] <goudkov> Seveas: i see "dgst -sha1" but nothing about hmac
[18:38] <Seveas> Datz, difficult. The livecd definitely won't
[18:38] <Gary_inNYC> thx
[18:38] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I guess the most common reason is graphics related
[18:38] <Datz> Seveas is that link you gave me for the live CD?
[18:38] <unicum> anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook? i just upgraded to hardy which already did me loads of good.. just one minor problem (or major?) i have no sound whatsoever

[18:40] <new1231038098> any one knows how to use mobile cam as webcam on linux
[18:40] <Slart> unicum: suit yourself...
[18:40] <unicum> hmpf
[18:41] <Kal_L> Seveas: Worked like a charm ! :)
[18:41] <blued> tinin, buy nothing just just ardour, check the forum http://linuxmusicians.com/index.php for some great howto's
[18:41] <PowerTeam_> Gotta love ubuntu :) i got all me hardware working except for the syncing with me windows mobile.... That is and issue for another day, hehe
[18:41] <Slart> Scunizi: in Apps, nautilus, desktop
[18:41] <new1231038098> any one knows how to use mobile cam as webcam on linux
[18:41] <Scunizi> Slart.. yep.. thanks .. I just found it too.. :)
[18:41] <unicum> Slart, that's not really gonna help me much
[18:41] <Slart> Scunizi: you're welcome =)
[18:41] <new1231038098> any one
[18:41] <Sean|> my face is faggot
[18:41] <Geezle> Hi all, I need a quick hand.  To make a short story long, I was going to install a program and had enabled the 'Hardy Main Universe' in my sources.list file and let it update what it needed to.  Now my screen resolution is all wonky and I don't have the same resolution and refresh rate options I had before.  When I open the Restricted Drivers Manager it tells me "You need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-15-generic for
[18:42] <Condoulo> I just got a new Logitech Microphone, an AK5370, and I can't seem to get it to work. Any reasons why?
[18:42] <new1231038098> why dont you install it
[18:42] <Slart> unicum: huh? I just told you about the channel devoted to hardy support.. I can't help you with your soundcard
[18:42] <unicum> right
[18:42] <new1231038098> any one knows how to use mobile cam as webcam on linux
[18:43] <tinin> blued, I need something like a preamplifier (or a good and expensive soundcard), that's what I've been told, to record the guitar
[18:43] <Seveas> !repeat | new1231038098
[18:43] <ubotu> new1231038098: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[18:43] <new1231038098> @ubotu ill just wait
[18:43] <blued> tinin, I only have a onboard soundcard and a boss distortion pedal.... just try around and if you know what you want, then start buying...
[18:44] <Geezle> I'm running 7.10 if it makes a difference, but my About file now has 8.04 in it
[18:44] <Datz>  Seveas, so I will have the option to just install it Kubuntu for power pc but not run the live cd?
[18:44] <Geezle> Did I kill it?
[18:44] <CJS3141> Is there an easy way to capture the raw PCM audio that is sent to my soundcard? I mean something maybe as simple as cat /dev/audio > rawsound? I would think it's possible, is it?
[18:44] <Seveas> Datz, even then I don't know if it'll be a fun experience. 64mb is an awful low amount of memory
[18:45] <genii> CJS3141: look into jackd
[18:45] <new1231038098> no its not
[18:45] <new1231038098> !!
[18:45] <new1231038098> 64 mb is just good
[18:45] <Datz> Seveas, so its not worth a try, or...?
[18:45] <Slart> Geezle: hmm.. sounds like you upgraded parts of your system.. I don't think you're supposed to just add a repos like that..
[18:45] <Seveas> Datz, well, trying won't hurt
[18:45] <Datz> it won't wipe the old OS then?
[18:45] <CJS3141> genii: OK, is that a program? jackd implies maybe some sort of daemon?
[18:46] <Seveas> Datz, it will need some space
[18:46] <tinin> blued, I've got no pedal, just a cheap amp. But I have seen this, supported on linux: http://cgi.ebay.com/Behringer-UCA202-audio-interface_W0QQitemZ310037996135QQihZ021QQcategoryZ41784QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
[18:46] <Slart> Geezle: I don't know if you can do the complete upgrade.. or downgrade back to 7.10... but you might run into problems running half and half
[18:46] <Seveas> so it will need to shrink the macos
[18:46] <Datz> Seveas, ok thanks alot i will try it
[18:46] <Geezle> Slart: That's what I was afraid of!
[18:46] <genii> CJS3141: Yes, it's basically like a virtual patchcord
[18:46] <Piero_Scarufii> May i ask wether or not the cylinder desktop switching in compiz fusion has been added to the updates in ubuntu yet?
[18:46] <new1231038098> hey any one knows about some good CLI progs
[18:46] <Geezle> Any thoughts on a simple-ish solution?
[18:46] <CJS3141> genii: Interesting--is it available in the repositories or how do I get it?
[18:47] <blued> tinin, check http://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=263f4d3eec84ba2f5498471090e26cbf for hardware which works well with linux
[18:47] <Seveas> Geezle, update your entire sources.list to hardy and upgrade the rest
[18:47] <Slart> Geezle: I don't know of any easy fixes for that.. but ask the channel.. or check the forums for some hints
[18:47] <arvind_khadri> new1231038098, what do u mean by that??
[18:47] <Slart> Geezle: ah.. there you are.. =)
[18:47] <genii> CJS3141: I hae it listed in my apt-cache but have some nonstandard repos. ! moment I'll query ubotu
[18:48] <genii> !info jackd
[18:48] <ubotu> jackd (source: jack-audio-connection-kit): JACK Audio Connection Kit (server and example clients). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.103.0-6ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 93 kB, installed size 360 kB
[18:48] <Geezle> Seveas: Thanks, is there somewhere I can get a list of what I need to change, or is there a simple way to just update them all?
[18:48] <redwhitewaldo> is there a command i can run in terminal to find out what motherboard model i have in the computer?
[18:49] <Seveas> Geezle, pastebin your sources.list
[18:49] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: there is a command lshw.. but you might have to install it first
[18:49] <genii> redwhitewaldo: lshw
[18:49] <Slart> !info lshw
[18:49] <ubotu> lshw (source: lshw): information about hardware configuration. In component main, is standard. Version 02.10-4ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 752 kB
[18:49] <Geezle> Seveas: K, thanks
[18:49] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: genii. thanks. (it's already installed somehow 8-)  )
[18:50] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: ah.. it might be installed by default.. I wasn't sure
[18:50] <genii> Yes, "standard" means part of ubuntu-desktop default
[18:50] <Geezle> Seveas: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62741/
[18:50] <tinin> blued haha, but that's empty for the moment. Would I be able to record the guitar if I just plug: gutar-pedal-pc this way? so that I can record with ardour or audacity?
[18:50] <Condoulo> I just got a new Logitech Microphone, an AK5370. It detects it, but it won't actually work. I am wondering why it won't
[18:50] <redwhitewaldo> Slart:  genii, that's a lot of text (from lshw). is there a way to do a "search" or "filter"?
[18:50] <CJS3141> genii: Great--Synaptic found it so I'll just go ahead and install. But just out of curiosity, why isn't it possible to do something as simple as a "cat /dev/audio > rawaudio" hack?
[18:51] <arvind_khadri> redwhitewaldo, grep the output
[18:51] <redwhitewaldo> oh, i found the part about "motherboard", but itd doesn't say anthying else
[18:51] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: the standard way is to use grep.. like this "sudo lshw | grep -i somethingtosearchfor"  -i means case insensitive
[18:51] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: thanks!
[18:51] <genii> redwhitewaldo: The very first parts are specific to motherboard/bios etc. so:   lshw | more             pipes it to more so you can look down the docment at your own pace
[18:51] <Seveas> Geezle, that's quite messy. Let me clean it up a bit, brb
[18:51] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: or you can do "sudo lshw > atextfile" and edit that textfile in your favourite editor
[18:51] <blued> init, I think so.. did you see the link in http://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=16
[18:52] <genii> redwhitewaldo: Or Slart's recommended redirect to file then open with some editor
[18:52] <Geezle> Seveas: Haha thanks, I really appreciate it.  I didn't think I'd messed it up *that* bad
[18:52] <blued> init, the forum is a bit new...
[18:52] <Seveas> Geezle, oh it's not too bad, just a number of double entries
[18:54] <Seveas> Geezle, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62742/
[18:54] <Geezle> Seveas: Ahh...now I see, I didn't even realize
[18:54] <cheesypieces> hi guys, does anyone know of a way to ping a range of ip addresses?
[18:54] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: genii thanks so much.
[18:55] <Seveas> cheesypieces, ping -b (if they're in the same subnet and the firewall allows it)
[18:55] <Geezle> Seveas: So I just paste that in place of what's currently in my sources.list and let it do its thing?
[18:55] <adamh> I want to create a BIND server for which it is easy for me to add many zones, preferably dynamically. Does anybody have any tips?
[18:55] <Seveas> Geezle, yeah
[18:55] <Geezle> Thanks again, I really appreciate the help!
[18:55] <Seveas> adamh, powerdns is said to be easiest to setup for novices
[18:56] <Condoulo> I just got a new Logitech Microphone, an AK5370. It detects it, but it won't actually work. I am wondering why it won't. Anybody in here have any ideas as to why?>
[18:56] <Seveas> though bind isn't all that hard, but adding dynamic dns to it is tricky-ish
[18:56] <adamh> I've done dynamic DNS. But I don't know how to add *zones* dynamically.
[18:56] <cheesypieces> Seveas: how do i use it to scan for example 192.168.xxx.xxx?
[18:57] <Seveas> cheesypieces, 'man ping' (it can be seen as a network attack, hence I'm reluctant to 'support' it)
[18:57] <Slart> Condoulo: it's a USB microphone? does it need drivers?
[18:57] <Condoulo> Slart- Its a USB MIcrophone. I'm not sure about drivers. I mean it detected it in the sound preferences
[18:57] <cheesypieces> Seveas: ok, thank you
[18:57] <Seveas> adamh, depends on what you call dynamic... rndc reconfig makes it load new zones without restarting
[18:58] <adamh> Seveas: So I can just add the zone to the config file and reconfig? That sounds all right... *if* I can also put "include zones.d/*" in the BIND config. Can I? :)
[18:58] <Slart> Condoulo: seems you're not the only one having problems.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529554
[18:58] <adamh> ("include /etc/bind/zones.d/*", I mean--as in, file-globbing so I can create a new file per zone)
[18:59] <Seveas> adamh, then you'd need to create 2 files per zone: the config and the actual zonefile
[18:59] <CJS3141> genii: Anyway, thanks for the help... gotta go, so cheers!
[18:59] <Seveas> why not have a simple config, only 3 lines per zone needed
[18:59] <Condoulo> Slart- hmm.... yeah, and I haven't really found anything helpful when searching Google
[19:00] <adamh> Seveas: It would be great to split into separate files, as it is tricky to automate managing all those zones in one big file.
[19:00] <adamh> Seveas: (It stands at around 50 zones right now)
[19:01] <Seveas> adamh, my master has serveral hundreds of zones, the config is 3 lines per zone, not too hard to maintain in a single file :)
[19:01] <mdgeorge> heh, I was so confused when I typed "hello" and got "unknown command: hello"
[19:01] <mdgeorge> I figured out that I was typing in the ChanServ popup though :)
[19:01] <Seveas> adamh, manpage for named.conf seems to indicate it doesn't support globbing in includes
[19:02] <adamh> Seveas: Do you have a program already made which manages named.conf? ("hey, can I bum a script?")
[19:02] <Slart> Condoulo: and here's a guy that claims it works nicely http://jyquentel.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/   I guess it's  pro 1p, con 1p =)
[19:02] <mdgeorge> anyway, I was wondering if anyone can help: I have an lcd that's in the 1280x1024 aspect ratio, and the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-f1) get cut off on the sides
[19:02] <Seveas> adamh, no, it's maintained manually (and stored in a version control system :))
[19:02] <adamh> Seveas: All right. Well, thanks :)
[19:02] <Seveas> adamh, it's not that often that one adds new zones (not in my case that is)
[19:03] <Codenut> Does any one know how set up dual monitors?
[19:03] <adamh> Seveas: More often for me. Anyway, I suppose I can make an update-named.conf script as a hack :)
[19:03] <Seveas> adamh, yeah, shouldn't be all that difficult :)
[19:03] <peeps[work]> i have a problem running vmware on Ubuntu host OS. it constantly want's me to run the configuration.  every time i restart the host OS it seems
[19:03] <cshadowrun> Lol ok, i'm on my last try now. I've been trying for the entire day to get my sound working properly, it seems that certain applications steal sound from other applications
[19:04] <cshadowrun> like if i am using VLC, flash won't work. If i'm using flash, VLC won't work.
[19:04] <cshadowrun> and xchats sound effects won't work at all.
[19:04] <peeps[work]> i get this message: vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
[19:04] <Condoulo> Slart, sad thing is, I've already tried that
[19:04] <peeps[work]> anyone in here using vmware seen issues like this?
[19:04] <cshadowrun> If i can't get my sound working properly i'm gonna have to go back to windows :(
[19:05] <peeps[work]> i've already configured vmware like 4 times
[19:05] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, I see you're back.. I just found this on google.  http://www.nullamatix.com/increase-the-default-linux-console-terminal-resolution/
[19:05] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: thanks, I'll see if that helps
[19:06] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, don't know if you know this address.. but it helps me.. www.google.com/linux
[19:06] <pharoh> hey,is it correct to say obj-C is the same as C++?and can it be used to create graphical representations like C++?
[19:07] <Scunizi> peeps[work], run that command using sudo
[19:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: I didn't know about that.  cool beans
[19:07] <Seveas> pharoh, no.
[19:07] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i do.  it doesn't even run without sudo IIRC
[19:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: just out of curiousity, what did you search on?  my (brief) efforts weren't as successful
[19:07] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, or do you mean to run vmware as sudo?
[19:08] <pharoh> Seveas: no to both?
[19:08] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, terminal resolution
[19:09] <Scunizi> peeps[work], nope just the reconfig line..
[19:09] <skimat> would like some infos on the creation of brainstorm
[19:09] <Seveas> no to the first, 'dunno, but doubt it' to the second :)
[19:09] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, yes, i run it as sudo, and then I can use vmware, but as soon as I restart, it forces me to run it all over again, it's really annoying
[19:09] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I need help with my wireless networking.  It doesn't get an adress by dhcp, and I can't seem to send packets on it.  I've tried adding a route for 192.168.100.100 on eth1 (with no other routes to that host except the default), opening wireshark, pinging 192.168.100.100; no packets.  What can I do to make my wireless card work?
[19:09] <Condoulo> ok, apparently I did have to change the volume settings. But now I still get this error: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile = chat: Could not open resource for writing
[19:10] <swissfish> hi folks. i just set up my computer with gutsy. i tried for about 50 times, to get my ATI card working, fglrxinfo is still showing MESA Drivers.... can anybody help me?
[19:10] <jonaskoelker> lspci says it's there (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ...)
[19:10] <Scunizi> peeps[work], did you install vmware server or player.. I'm assuming server.. also when you installed did you install the entire package using sudo?
[19:11] <pharoh> Seveas:ahh.
[19:11] <jonaskoelker> when I press the power button for the card, there's a popup saying the bluetooth device has been {switched off,made discoverable}, so I'm guessing the card's power and antenna works
[19:11] <Scunizi> peeps[work], you there.. I was getting a lot of lag on this end.. netsplit? oh well.. did you get my last post about server vs. player?
[19:11] <Geezle> Well, I updated my sources.list and that seemed to all go fine, some more things updated, but now my Restricted Drivers Manager just crashes when I try to open it, and my screen resolution only gives me the same few options.  Any thoughts?
[19:12] <Slart> Condoulo: huh? try running something else that uses the microphone.. audacity.. or the plain sound recorder
[19:12] <graabein> where do i find the source code for eye of gnome? i've installed it through apt and i want to see the code
[19:13] <swissfish> nobody an idea? :(
[19:13] <Seveas> Geezle, install the following packages: ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop linux-generic
[19:13] <Seveas> Geezle, and do apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:13] <jonaskoelker> anyone got an idea what to try out to work out how to make my wireless *not*work become a *net*work? ;)
[19:13] <cristi1990> how do i change permissions of a folder. it says owner: nobody, so i can't modify it
[19:13] <Scunizi> graabein, http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/518600/Eye-of-Gnome.html
[19:13] <Geezle> Seveas: okie, thanks!
[19:13] <Piero_Scarufii> How do i spellcheck these words in ubuntu: soelaas sinterklaas pieterbaas ?
[19:13] <Condoulo> Slart- what happens is when I test my mic in Sound Preferences, it works, but apps like Skype won't use my Mic. As well as the fact when I do test it, I get that error
[19:13] <Slart> cristi1990: sudo chown yourusername foldername doesn't work?
[19:13] <swissfish> cristi1990, log in as root
[19:13] <swissfish> and chmod it to 777
[19:14] <swissfish> or chown
[19:14] <Kal_L> Another question... how can I take lines on a text file, that contain a certain word and copy only those lines to a new text file
[19:14] <cristi1990> swissfish: in terminal? or nautilus?
[19:14] <FFEMTcJ> I have a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT- DDR3 that im trying to get to work with two monitors.. Ubuntu doesn't seem to be recognizing that a second monitor is plugged in..

[19:14] <Griffon26> How long would it approximately take for Ubuntu to have the latest versions of libxml2 & libxslt that were released this week available somewhere (like universe maybe)? I'm a Gnome Planner developer and I am wondering if making those versions required deps would cause much delay in availability of Planner on Ubuntu.
[19:14] <pharoh> so what can obj-C be used for?
[19:14] <FFEMTcJ> Any idea how to fix?
[19:14] <graabein> Scunizi: thanks
[19:14] <Scunizi> graabein, np
[19:14] <cristi1990> swissfish: ok logged in now what?

[19:15] <Condoulo> Slart- Audacity properly uses my Microphone, but other apps won't
[19:15] <cristi1990> swissfish: ok..
[19:15] <Slart> Condoulo: very strange.. don't really know what makes it do that.. but I'm not very good with alsa and sound.. perhaps someone else knows
[19:15] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out?
[19:15] <Condoulo> Slart- ah. And the odd thing about Audacity, is I can only record in mono, not stereo
[19:16] <Slart> Condoulo: well.. is it a stero microphone?
[19:16] <swissfish> nobody ever fixed a messed up fglrx installation in here? i seriously doubt that :(
[19:16] <Scunizi> Griffon26, you really should be talking on the .dev list.. not sure where to direct you for that but the email address is ubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com.. although you might be filtered if you're not a member.
[19:17] <Scunizi> Condoulo, you mean only recording on the left or right? or do you have 2 mics and a stereo mic input or 2 sound cards and trying to mix the two?
[19:17] <cristi1990> swissfish: can u give me an example pls (lol sorry) but it didn't work i think
[19:17] <OsamaK> Hello, can I use this file <http://uk.real.com/player/select/> to install RealPlayer on Ubuntu?
[19:18] <Scunizi> peeps[work], did you totally disappear?
[19:18] <cristi1990> swissfish: i needed to chage the permissions
[19:18] <OsamaK> 'Linux i686'
[19:18] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, sorry, was in restroom
[19:18] <Condoulo> Scunizi, I should only have one mic enable right now (There is also one built into my webcam), and my realtek audio is baked onto the motherboard.  Now I am trying to use this new USB Mic I just got in Ubuntu, it detects it, it works in Sound Prefs, and in Audacity I can only record in Mono. I also can't get it working in uStream
[19:18] <Geezle> Seveas: Those packages were already installed according to Synaptic, but I reinstalled them just to play it safe, then I did the apt-get dist-upgrade but there was nothing upgraded
[19:18] <swissfish> christil: open terminal. type: sudo chmod 777 <dir/file>, e.g. chmod 777 /etc/mytestdir
[19:18] <tinin> how can I mount an usb reader via command line? How do I know how it is called. I think it should be like /dev/sda1
[19:19] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i am using vmware server
[19:19] <Geezle> I think I broke it good
[19:19] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out?
[19:19] <Condoulo> Scunizi, actually, for any recording option in Sound Preferences I get this error: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile = chat: Could not open resource for writing
[19:19] <Slart> tinin: you can look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/  ... or run sudo blkid
[19:19] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i honestly can't remember the method I used for the initial install
[19:19] <Scunizi> Condoulo, single mics will record in mono.. you might want to try the audacity irc channel if they have one.. I don't know what that error is..
[19:20] <Condoulo> Scunizi, oh. Ok.
[19:20] <tinin> Slart thanx
[19:20] <Scunizi> peeps[work], well.. you should have build-essential installed for the server install.. I choose all the defaults that come up during the install. maybe that makes a difference.. you might try purging it and reinstalling.. but you gotta make sure you get the config files deleted

[19:21] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, ok, thanks
[19:21] <khakane> and i setup a tunnel in my ssh client to do 5900 local -> 5900 in the tunnel
[19:22] <khakane> but it just aint connecting
[19:22] <DRebellion> khakane, i have to go, sorry. good luck though
[19:22] <khakane> telnet localhost 5900 or telnet 10.whatever.ip 5900 gets an answer
[19:22] <dromer> can anyone with X-skills help me make KDM not try to start GLX? :/
[19:22] <Scunizi> khakane, I don't use putty but I do know that is for connecting with ssh.. if you just want a graphical connection tightvnc will work as long as the router on the other end is convigured to pass the appropriate port to the right machine.
[19:23] <khakane> Scunizi: the appropriate port = 5900?
[19:23] <Scunizi> peeps[work], I hope it works..
[19:23] <Bug2000> How do you force reinstall of a package?
[19:23] <Scunizi> khakane, yes.
[19:23] <swissfish> cristi1990, you need to decide; either you want to change the permissions or the owner
[19:23] <Bug2000> [Command line]
[19:23] <khakane> Scunizi: i tried that with no dice, i forward the port, telnet to it fro mthe outside and get blank screen
[19:23] <henry_> damn i love this OS.
[19:23] <dromer> khakane: what do you use for xserver? xming?
[19:23] <Xorothal> hi guys, when trying to run amsn 0.97 (ubuntu gutsy) I get the following: http://pastebin.com/m54fe090e
[19:23] <Scunizi> khakane, try 5700
[19:23] <cheesypieces> hi guys, how do i find out my ip address in a terminal?
[19:23] <cristi1990> swissfish: the owner i guess, sorry
[19:24] <swissfish> to change the owner you type: sudo chown <username> <directory> e.g. "sudo chown user /etc/mitestdir
[19:24] <dromer> cheesypieces: ifconfig
[19:24] <cheesypieces> dromer: thanks
[19:24] <krammer_> i cant empty the trash because i dont have permissions what do i need to do?
[19:24] <jonaskoelker> cheesypieces: ifconfig <interface> | grep inet
[19:24] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out? I am completely new to Ubuntu, and not very computer savvy.
[19:24]  * jonaskoelker is too slow
[19:24] <Scunizi> khakane, sorry.. just looked it up .. 5800 & 5900
[19:24] <khakane> 5800 as well?
[19:24] <khakane> cuz i telnet to 5800 and get nothing, even locallyu

[19:25] <TMind> Hi Leude
[19:25] <StPatrick> are you trying to pipe it to me?
[19:25] <swissfish> folks, i reinstalled th ATI prop drivers, bus still getting this OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[19:25] <swissfish> . any help?
[19:25] <aschmack> there we go
[19:25] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Yea, thanks I read a lot of that.
[19:25] <Scunizi> krammer_, you need to be root because something in the trash has root permissions only.. gksudo nautilus.. hit CTRL H to view hidden files and navigate to your trash in /home.. delete what's there then go to the root file system and find the root trash and delete the stuff there.
[19:25] <cristi1990> swissfish: i want to change the owner..
[19:26] <TMind> can anyone suggest a keyboard with notebook-keys and background lighting ??
[19:26] <StPatrick> aschmack,  I'm capable of searching the internet. I'm in here because i seek assistance.
[19:26] <swissfish> cristi1990, to change the owner you type: sudo chown <username> <directory> e.g. "sudo chown user /etc/mitestdir
[19:26] <khakane> Scunizi: now i have 5900 forwarded, from y outside machine, i can telnet and get an answer, but VNC stioll wont connect
[19:26] <aschmack> okay StPatrick most people can't do that
[19:26] <Moduliz0r> Hi, is there any way to install a bootloader on a USB drive (like Grub) and then use that to boot from an iso image on the USB drive?
[19:26] <khakane> oooo i got it
[19:26] <Scunizi> khakane, is the machine behind the nat running ubuntu?
[19:26] <StPatrick> aschmack,  search the web? lol yea...
[19:27] <khakane> Scunizi: yes
[19:27] <Piero_Scarufii> Scunizi are you italian?
[19:27] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Well I got my wifi workign in Mandriva, but I'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu
[19:27] <Scunizi> khakane, and you went to System/Preferances/Remote Desktop and enabled  remote connections.. No.. not italian but lived in Naples for 2 years. :) loved it!
[19:27] <piedoggie> I'm trying to make the open VPN configuration package delivered by IP cop work with the network manager.  It doesn't seem to want to import the configuration file and it doesn't tell me why (as far as I know)
[19:27] <aschmack> have you installed ndiswrapper yet?
[19:27] <khakane> Scunizi: yea, i can connect to my remote now using straight ip:port in vnc
[19:28] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, nope.. I lived in Naples for 2 years in 1975-77 .. loved it.
[19:28] <khakane> is there any other client to use that is cleaner? VNC is ugly and slow
[19:28] <Piero_Scarufii> cool
[19:28] <Moduliz0r> how would I install Ubuntu from the ISO image without a spare CD drive? I have the ISO on a USB drive...
[19:28] <Slart> khakane: try freenx
[19:28] <Scunizi> khakane, ssh is a funny animal..
[19:28] <aschmack> StPatrick,  have you installed ndiswrapper yet?
[19:28] <khakane> Slart: for windows?
[19:28] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Doesnt work.
[19:28] <Slart> khakane: I think they have a client for windows too
[19:28] <khakane> i will try it out
[19:28] <aschmack> StPatrick, any error messages?
[19:28] <StPatrick> aschmack,  I've tried every windows driver I can find. Just keeps telling my i dont have a device for it.
[19:29] <StPatrick> telling me *
[19:29] <gaucho> I bought a microphone, but It's not working on my gutsy. I have an asus p5b-Plus motherboard, with standard desktop (amd64) installation. I tried to put the microphone volume to max in alsamixer, but nothing happens. What can I do?
[19:29] <gaucho> (it's working fine on ms win)
[19:29] <b0ef> ehlo
[19:29] <b0ef> got an ubuntu box that I'm compiling some code that depends on javax.persistence. I'm not sure which package in ubuntu that ships these files; any idea?
[19:30] <StPatrick> aschmack,  In Mandriva, I had to compile a driver.
[19:31] <Moduliz0r> How would I install Ubuntu from the ISO? I have no OS on the computer and no spare CDs, I do have USB memory drives though
[19:31] <lordleemo> StPatrick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709802 according to that you need to use the win 98 driver
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo,  Tried it. Doesnt work.
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo, Ubuntu does not see my wifi card.
[19:31] <gnuth> back
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo,  Yes, it's turned on :P
[19:31] <GIn> StPatrick: what chipset?
[19:32] <StPatrick> RTL8187b
[19:32] <aschmack> StPatrick, http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html like that?
[19:32] <GIn> StPatrick: have you tried it with ndiswrapper?
[19:32] <StPatrick> GIn, Yes.
[19:32] <khakane> Slart: it seems nxclient wants to actually login to X
[19:32] <gnuth> GIn: Touqen, kidding, there is an error :p. PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare errhandler() (previously declared in /var/www/html/config/includes.php:3) in /var/www/html/config/includes.php on line 3
[19:32] <khakane> and it seems the setup i have now is just lame remote watching
[19:32] <khakane> not actually logging into X
[19:33] <StPatrick> aschmack, Yea, last time i tried this, i was a complete linux noob, and couldnt make sense of that link. Let me try it again, and get back to you. Thanks.
[19:33] <GIn> StPatrick: how can you tell the card doesn't work with Ubuntu?
[19:33] <StPatrick> GIn, I didnt say it doesnt work. I said Ubuntu doesnt see it. It's not listed anywhere.
[19:33] <Slart> khakane: ah.. well.. it might not be what you want then.. sorry
[19:33] <jonaskoelker> hey all... anyone to care help me with my wireless networking woes?
[19:33] <urthmover> sampo
[19:34] <StPatrick> jonaskoelker, Heh you and me both
[19:34] <khakane> Slart: well, you can setup X to be real, remotely, right? like real users have to login at a login screen
[19:34] <GIn> StPatrick: but does it list your device when you run the command iwconfig or ifconfig?
[19:34] <khakane> instead of depending on someonebeing logged into the machine already?
[19:34] <StPatrick> GIn, No....
[19:34] <Moduliz0r> if I dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/my-usb-memthing will I then be able to boot and install from my USB drive?
[19:34] <Slart> khakane: perhaps.. that's the way X is supposed to work, afaik.. at least in a linux to linux scenario
[19:35] <Scunizi> StPatrick, I just found on google that the b version isn't recognized by the drivers.. there is a solution.. http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html
[19:35] <GIn> StPatrick: it should work http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/
[19:35] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Lmao....
[19:36] <Coggz> http://pastebin.com/m46919429 what is wrong with this? X wont start with it can anyone see problems?
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  Thanks. it doesn't.
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  The image there, is of the external Realtek 8187b
[19:36] <Putrinet> ow
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  Mine is built in Wifi. It';s not an external card I bought.
[19:36] <GIn> StPatrick: it should not matter.. same chipet
[19:37] <StPatrick> GIn,  ok, well, I'll just try again then
[19:37] <GIn> StPatrick: whenu run ndiswrapper -l, do you read device present?
[19:37] <Stevethepirate> Um, is there a way to take all incoming data on a port, and redirect to a local port? I have a ssh tunnel on a pc, i want all pc's on my network to be able to use that tunnel as a proxy [the tunnel is to a socks proxy]
[19:37] <StPatrick> afk while i try it again
[19:37] <GIn> StPatrick: do you have xp installed?
[19:38] <Seveas> Geezle, still here?
[19:38] <gnuth> Stevethepirate: @sho9s use man finch it has alot
[19:38] <Geezle> Seveas: Yup, just poking around the forums trying to find out what I can do
[19:38] <Seveas> Geezle, if apt-get says there's nothing to dist-upgrade, then you're done. Reboot, just to make sure
[19:38] <eax> Can anyone tell me how to install a GDM Theme from Gnome-look?
[19:38] <Geezle> K brb
[19:38] <Odd-rationale> Hello! is there a way to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" at boot up or log in?
[19:39] <Stevethepirate> gnuth: um?
[19:39] <aschmack> yes Odd-rationale hold on
[19:39] <Scunizi> GIn, have you seen this link for the RT version B wireless.. you don't need ndiswrapper just a recompilation of realtec's driver.. the b version driver isn't recognized by the current drivers for that adaptor.
[19:39] <Odd-rationale> asheron: sure!
[19:39] <Scunizi> GIn, sorry.. http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html
[19:39] <GIn> Odd-rationale: put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules
[19:39] <aschmack> yeah that
[19:39] <Odd-rationale> aschmack: sure.
[19:39] <Seveas> eax, system -> admin -> login window
[19:39] <GIn> Odd-rationale: that should do the job
[19:39] <dromer> does anybody know how to make KDM not want to use GLX?
[19:39] <eax> Seveas: Thanks a lot :)
[19:40] <Odd-rationale> GIn: ok thanks! will try
[19:40] <Scunizi> dromer, turn your "effect" down to "NONE" .. that may do it.
[19:40] <gnuth> Stevethepirate: what
[19:40] <juan_> hello
[19:41] <dromer> Scunizi: I don't have any "effect" and I'm not in X (I can't log into KDE for sombe reason kdm.log says an EE with GLX being started and I don't know why
[19:41] <MrBill> Does anyone know if there is a solution other than running Wine/WindowsMediaplayer for getting downloaded TV/Movies streamed to an xbox 360?
[19:41] <crdlb> dromer: in what way does kdm use GLX?
[19:41] <GIn> Scunizi: I don't know. I don't have that chipset. I have much better expereince with ndiswrapper+win driver than those that Ubuntu uses
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: I don't know
[19:41] <GIn> Scunizi: but just use whatever works
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: afaik I don't have compiz/beryl or anything running
[19:41] <crdlb> dromer: oh, use pastebinit to pastebin the error
[19:41] <khakane> ok i figured something out, all of these guides seem to tell you how to setup REMOTE DESKTOP for X-windows, but i need actual, real remote X logins using users on the machine, not a VNC style remote
[19:41] <StPatrick> GIn, I wish I had XP installed. XP Won't install on this laptop
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: how can I use pastebin if I'm not in x?
[19:42] <Benji1> is there an equivalent of the windows program 'Eraser' for linux?
[19:42] <crdlb> dromer: use pastebinit
[19:42] <GIn> StPatrick: do you have the win driver for your card. you need the .inf and .sys files
[19:42] <dromer> er .. never heard of it
[19:42] <Scunizi> dromer, you should be able to "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and but a # at the beginning of the line mentioning GLX.. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
[19:42] <aschmack> khakane, http://ayaz.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/remote-x-login-gdm-xdmcp-xmins-oh-my/
[19:42] <khakane> aschmack: i will check it out, thanks
[19:42] <dromer> Scunizi: there is no line mentioning GLX
[19:42] <GIn> and probably .bin..
[19:42] <crdlb> Scunizi: nah, it doesn't work like that anymore
[19:42] <danand> !pastebinit | dromer
[19:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:43] <Scunizi> dromer, pastebinit will allow you to do that..
[19:43] <dromer> ok
[19:43] <danand> bah
[19:43] <dromer> lemme see
[19:43] <Scunizi> crdlb, how does it work now.. ? I get confused after DApper
[19:43] <crdlb> Scunizi: since gutsy, you don't have to explicitly load modules
[19:43] <khakane> aschmack: is there a guide that is ubuntu specific?
[19:43] <crdlb> X loads glx and such automatically
[19:44] <aschmack> not that i know of khakane
[19:44] <Scunizi> crdlb, k.. so how does dromer turn off glx.. from terminal?
[19:44] <Geezle> Seveas: That was a big fat no dice.  The Restricted Drivers Manager still craps the bed as soon as I start it and I get a Crash Report popping up
[19:45] <crdlb> Scunizi: generally, you would just fix whatever is wrong with glx
[19:45] <crdlb> or you could use vesa
[19:45] <Seveas> Geezle, hmm...
[19:45] <Geezle> This is starting to make me a little crazy...it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck with an awful refresh rate
[19:46] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal using devilspie or something else .
[19:46] <dromer> Scunizi: how do I use pastebinit?
[19:46] <urthmover> sampo?
[19:46] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal in the desktop using devilspie or something else .
[19:46] <Scunizi> dromer, there you go.. maybe using the vesa driver crdlb mentioned is the ticket to fixing the rest of it.. use the sudo nano line from before and replace the driver mentioned with vesa
[19:46] <urthmover> Sampo was a magical artifact constructed by Ilmarinen that brought good fortune to its holder; nobody knows exactly what it was supposed to be.
[19:46] <arvind_khadri> hey how do u find drivers for my logitech quickcam
[19:46] <StPatrick> GIn,  Yea...
[19:46] <Scunizi> dromer, pastebinit. I'll check brb
[19:46] <Geezle> Would I be better off just dusting off my 7.10 CD and starting from scratch?  I'd hate to do it, but this is going beyond my knowledge

[19:47] <GIn> Geezle: what is beyond your knowledge?
[19:47] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal in the desktop using devilspie or something else .
[19:47] <aschmack> how do i enable emerald window themer
[19:48] <ikonia> murlidhar: embed the terminal in the desktop ?
[19:48] <murlidhar> ikonia, yes
[19:48] <ikonia> murlidhar: that sounds like some fancy compiz/desktop effect
[19:48] <murlidhar> hi ikonia
[19:48] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: run emerald
[19:48] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: but--I think compiz will do it automatically
[19:48] <dromer> Scunizi: woot, the vesa driver works!

[19:48] <arvind_khadri> danand, i meant where can i find the drivers it jus tells me whether its compatible or not
[19:48] <cool> aschmack, you need to install it first,

[19:48] <aschmack> i did
[19:49] <Geezle> Gin: I accidentally installed a Hardy repository and did a partial upgrade...got my sources.list all straightened out with the help of Seveas and it's all Hardy now, but my resolution is screwy and the Restricted Drivers Manager crashes as soon as I try to start it up
[19:49] <GIn> murlidhar: or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop
[19:49] <Seveas> Geezle, did you reboot after the latest upgrading?
[19:49] <GIn> Geezle: I would do a reinstall
[19:49] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: try ps -Fe | grep emerald to see if it's already running
[19:49] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: otherwise, try emerald --replace
[19:49] <Geezle> Seveas: Yup
[19:49] <Geezle> still crashes
[19:50] <crdlb> dromer: ok, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old now
[19:50] <Geezle> everything else seems fine so far though
[19:50] <Scunizi> dromer, cool.. pastebinit use is like this..  cat <path/file> | pastebinit -b http://pastebin.com

[19:55] <jonaskoelker> I know it's an intel 3945
[19:55] <jonaskoelker> GIn: does that help?
[19:55] <GIn> jonaskoelker: lspci | grep Network   that will tell you what card you are using
[19:55] <Scunizi> crdlb, looks like dromer 's log is showing a Nvidia GLX with intel graphics.. Is that normal..?

[19:56] <cshadowrun> what should i use as a command line program to play wav sounds?
[19:56] <jonaskoelker> cshadowrun: mplayer
[19:56] <DRebellion> cshadowrun, i recommend mplayer
[19:56] <cshadowrun> thanks
[19:56] <Scunizi> arvind_khadri, use Pidgin for yahoo IM client.. it works
[19:56] <danbhfive> hey guys, I'm looking at a tutorial on apache configuration, and it claims that my httpd.conf will be full of stuff.  Mine is blank.  Are there any tutorials/docs that are uptodate with the way ubuntu sets apache up?
[19:56] <jonaskoelker> cshadowrun: it's a linuxquestions.org members' choice awards winner ;)
[19:57] <jonaskoelker> danbhfive: httpd.conf -> apache2.conf
[19:57] <Altaida> I'm using 7.04,  i'm trying to install pidgin, with no luck *kinda new to linux*
[19:57] <Geezle> Seveas: Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62751/
[19:57] <jonaskoelker> danbhfive: I think that's the major difference
[19:57] <DRebellion> cshadowrun, in fact, i recommend mplayer for general playing of "stuff" ;)
[19:57] <arvind_khadri> Scunizi, i know that,but i wanted Yahoo to work as it has webcam option
[19:57] <cshadowrun> hehe i use VLC for "stuff"
[19:57] <DRebellion> Altaida, sudo apt-get install pidgin?
[19:57] <tawt> is there any good apps for calculus for gnome?
[19:57] <dromer> Scunizi: I had an nvidia before
[19:57] <jonaskoelker> GIn: you got the lspci line, right?
[19:57] <GIn> jonaskoelker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy
[19:57] <Altaida> yea, tells me i need to login as root.
[19:57] <danbhfive> jonaskoelker: ok, cool, I'll look into that, thanks
[19:58] <DRebellion> Altaida, just type in your password
[19:58] <Seveas> Geezle, hmmm...... that one actually looks sane-ish but is the failsafe config
[19:58] <urthmover> Woy-eeeeee-yers.....come out to PLAYYYY-EEEEEE-YAAAAAAY
[19:58] <Scunizi> Altaida, pidgin is the new name for....  Gaim. Look for gaim in your menus
[19:58] <Altaida> after sudo? or after the command
[19:58] <Altaida> that's how i'm talkin to you guys
 Altaida, just type in your password <---- is it hunter2? ;)
[19:58] <Geezle> Seveas: Actually there are two versions...one in /etc/x11 and one is /usr/share
[19:58] <Seveas> Geezle, can you send all files in /etc/X11/ to me? dennis (at) ubuntu.com
[19:58] <DRebellion> urthmover, not here, join #ubuntu-offtopic for mindless shouting
[19:58] <aschmack> haha jonaskoelker
[19:58] <Scunizi> Altaida, then it's working!
[19:58] <DRebellion> jonaskoelker, ?

[19:59] <jonaskoelker> GIn: I'm already using iwl3945
[19:59] <naufragio> why is Update Manager screaming at me that my updates can't be authenticated?
[19:59] <Scunizi> dromer, that's probably part of the issue.. how did you manage to go from nvidia to intel graphics.. new machine? swapped harddrives?
[19:59] <naufragio> why would it ask me to update if it can't authenticate what it wants to update?
[19:59] <SuperLag> integrated card, but ability to have an add-on? :)
[19:59] <Altaida> i just wanted to update it, it installed in the newest version of Ubuntu isn't it?
[19:59] <crdlb> dromer: you need to uninstall any nvidia drivers you installed, then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx
[20:00] <Altaida> *it is installed on the newest version
[20:00] <zbigniew_> dobry wieczór wszystkim
[20:00] <GIn> jonaskoelker: try configuring your network by going to System -> Administration -> Network

[20:00] <Altaida> well, i suppose i will wait for the next version to be released
[20:00] <Geezle> Seveas: Do you need the stuff in the subdirectories as well, or just the actual files in the x11 directoy?
[20:00] <urthmover>  shucks they bumped me out of ubuntu-offtopic
[20:00] <urthmover> what a bummer
[20:00] <matt___> is ubuntu 8.04 pretty stable?
[20:01] <GIn> matt__, head to #ubuntu+1 ;)
[20:01] <Seveas> Geezle, just the xorg.conf.* files (there should be a few with a similar name)
[20:01] <Scunizi> matt__, it's coming out in 14 days.. I would hope so.
[20:01] <Geezle> k
[20:01] <matt___> Scunizi: right...just was thinking of downloading it and using it now
[20:01] <matt___> Scunizi: will kubuntu 8.04 come out the same time period as ubuntu?
[20:01] <prodigel> Hi. I've done some updating to heron and suddenly my laptop won't start X. How can I make it start X automatically?
[20:01] <daemon3> I have two problems with Ubuntu on my new laptop.
[20:02] <jonaskoelker> GIn: omfg it worx0r!!! u ar leet ;)
[20:02] <azuki> ubuntu doesn't seem to run well on laptops :/
[20:02] <GIn> jonaskoelker: lmao, it is basic Ubuntu knowledge  :P
[20:02] <jonaskoelker> GIn: which means "thank you so much for your assistance"
[20:02] <Scunizi> matt__, you could if it's a fresh install. but it might be easier just to wait for apt to prompt for an upgrade.. kubuntu at the same time yes.. however their version isn't LTS
[20:02] <daemon3> 1: Nvidia doesn't seem will supported, so I have some display problems and no 3D effects.
[20:02] <jonaskoelker> GIn: well, I come from debian.  We don't use GUIs :D
[20:02] <daemon3> 2: Once I updated my system, my sound disappeared.
[20:02] <daemon3> ...however, there are no errors.
[20:02] <GIn> jonaskoelker: you should ;) it makes life much easier ;)
[20:03] <zbigniew_> jeszcze raz dobry wieczór wszystkim

[20:03] <cheesypieces> Seveas: nice one, thanks
[20:03] <matt___> Scunizi: so do you know if the kubuntu 8.04 is pretty stable?
[20:03] <GIn> aschmack: you need desktop effects enabled to use it tho
[20:04] <Scunizi> matt__, 32 is easier.. unknown about kubuntu
[20:04] <matt___> Scunizi: thank you...

[20:23] <Pelo> ubuntu, if you messed up stage one ,  get the supergrub cd and fix it with that , the easiet way I know
[20:23] <Geezle> Or maybe I should screw around with a proper install of 8.04 Beta...hmm...

[20:41] <cshadowrun> what does that have to do with recording video from a webcam?
[20:41] <aschmack> Gln: youre sure theres no way to get rid of it because right now it looks like crap
[20:41] <GIn> aschmack: not that I know off. mind to take a screenshot?
[20:42] <GIn> Drivas: did gnome mount it for you or you did it manually ?
[20:42] <Shadow420> well I am back to help out for awhile
[20:42] <DRebellion> cshadowrun, yes...
[20:42] <Drivas> GIn: It mounted automagically, presumably with HAL? I am able to unmount with cli, but not mount...
[20:43] <DRebellion> cshadowrun, it takes the raw stream from the webcam and encodes it
[20:43] <aschmack> Gln: alas, bleh http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3347/uglykz2.png
[20:43] <GIn> Drivas: if you try to mount it manually , what does it say?

[20:58] <ubuntu> Any help ?
[20:58] <BritGuy> Hey all, I'm a bit new to the whole Linux thing and would really appreciate if someone could point in the right direction on how to setup an onboard rhine based network card with Ubuntu, the OS doesn't seem to be able to activate the device?
[20:58] <thunc> ubuntu: dude, I understand an issue: you take it private.
[20:58] <X-Seti> thats easy, first download ntfs-config
[20:58] <Squirm> Feisty, i dont have totem
[20:58] <Shadow420> Squirm click on places an look in computer to see if ubuntu sees the ntfs HD
[20:58] <X-Seti> sudo install ntfs-config
[20:58] <GIn> Squirm: then read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[20:59] <GIn> BritGuy: is it a wireless card?
[20:59] <X-Seti> then run ./ntfs-config
[20:59] <ryan__> Ok...
[20:59] <Squirm> k
[20:59] <ryan__> That was freakin dumb
[20:59] <s_> what to do
[20:59] <thunc> ryan__: 'b', 'c', '\0'}
[20:59] <ryan__> thunc,  what?
[20:59] <X-Seti> that will see your windows HD
[20:59] <Squirm> i can see them, and mount them
[20:59] <ryan__> thunc,  I am very new to Linux
[21:00] <Shadow420> Squirm then double click on your ntfs drive and it will mount
[21:00] <X-Seti> well the ntfs can allow you to access and write to your windows drive
[21:00] <ryan__> GIn,  I tried to connect to it again, and got kicked out of the room, then my connection wouldnt connect at all.
[21:00] <ryan__> GIn, So, I tried rebooting, and now I don't have wifi as an option anymore, and it's not listed in ifconfig :(
[21:00] <Squirm> thats not the problem, my problem is playing mp3's, but im looking at a link
[21:01] <X-Seti> ok, im getting to that
[21:01] <GIn> ryan__: is ndiswrapper loaded?
[21:01] <Shadow420> Squirm try launching a mp3 from vlc
[21:01] <thunc> GIn: like "no screens found" or "no core pointer"
[21:01] <ryan__> GIn,  Didnt use it.
[21:01] <Mateusz> I want to recover my debian install from ubuntu, but I cant chroot because my system is amd64 while ubuntu is i686, is it possible to point chroot to use diffrent LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
[21:01] <Mateusz> Any help ?
[21:01] <brap> anyone know how to accept voice calls  on amsn

[21:01] <Mateusz> Shadow420: ?
[21:02] <Shadow420> Mateusz how can I help you\
[21:02] <X-Seti> ill give you some links to codocs for ubuntu
[21:02] <kleingeist> hello, i am extracting a rar-archive and the process takes painfully much time, because the two cores of the t7500 don't operate at full capacity
[21:02] <X-Seti> bare with me
[21:02] <kleingeist> is this normal?
[21:02] <GIn> ryan__: you probably need t load the driver manually
[21:02] <Mateusz> Shadow420: how to set chroot to use libraries on my hard disk ?
[21:02] <ryan__> How do I do that?
[21:02] <GIn> ryan__: do you know what kernel module it uses?
[21:02] <Mateusz> Shadow420: I am on 32bit ubuntu and I want to chroot to amd64 debian on my hard drive
[21:02] <ryan__> GIn,  No, but gimme a sec, and I'll see what I can do
[21:02] <Seveas> Mateusz, why not burn a 64bit live cd and go the easy route?
[21:02] <GIn> ryan__: ok, do you still have the folder with the driver sources etc?
[21:02] <X-Seti> Squirm, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:03] <s_> no help
[21:03] <s_> hihih
[21:03] <Shadow420> Mateusz ???? um thats out of my range of help
[21:03] <Mateusz> Seveas: because I dont have OS to burn it:P
[21:03] <X-Seti>  then sudo apt-get install vlc x-xine xine-ui mplayer libdvdread3 kaffeine
[21:03] <Shadow420> Mateusz sorry
[21:03] <ryan__> GIn,  Oh yea, Im trying ./makedrv again to see if i can get it to recognize it again
[21:03] <Squirm> i have gnome, and it cant b installed on my computer type(i386)
[21:03] <X-Seti> that will have the codecs for mp3 and most movie formats
[21:03] <ubuntu> iam having a grub 15 error. any help?
[21:03] <shinden> some one hawe logs from syslog-ng on selected console ?
[21:03] <ryan__> woot!
[21:04] <ryan__> GIn,  Ok, I got it to see my card
[21:04] <GIn> ryan__: in that same directory, run ls | grep *.ko    .ko files are module files
[21:04] <ryan__> GIn, k
[21:04] <Shadow420> ubuntu ok grub is giving a error 15
[21:04] <X-Seti> Squirm, last command is  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[21:04] <Seveas> Mateusz, you have the 32bit ubuntu, don't you
[21:04] <ryan__> GIn,  None
[21:04] <Mateusz> Seveas: yes
[21:04] <Mateusz> Seveas: I am using it now
[21:04] <ubuntu> Shadow420 yes
[21:04] <Mateusz> Seveas: from live cd:P
[21:04] <ryan__> GIn, Want me to walk you thought what i did, start to finish?
[21:04] <X-Seti> then all should work, giving you Xine
[21:05] <GIn> ryan__: sure
[21:05] <Shadow420> ubuntu ok let me think
[21:05] <X-Seti> you can always install Mplayer too, doesnt hurt
[21:05] <ubuntu> ^_-
[21:05] <Seveas> Mateusz, ah heheh :D
[21:05] <X-Seti> sudo apt-get mplayer
[21:05] <Seveas> Mateusz, and you don't happen to have 2G of memory? :)
[21:05] <BritGuy> Hey all, does anyone have any experience with diagnosing networking probs in Linux
[21:05] <Odd-rationale> X-Seti: install
[21:05] <Alan_M> sudo apt get install mplayer (just to correct)
[21:05] <ubuntu> X-Seti sudo apt-get install mplay
[21:05] <X-Seti> oops missed that
[21:05] <Squirm> me?
[21:06] <Mateusz> Seveas: yes I do, but I am not sure if I can eject cd, where all programs are :P
[21:06] <Alan_M> hehe, its ok, we got your back X-Seti :)
[21:06] <ryan__> GIn,  Private msg.
[21:06] <X-Seti> yep, do what I showed you
[21:06] <X-Seti> all should work, even youtube
[21:06] <Shadow420> ubuntu it's possible that your menu.lst didn't get made
[21:06] <Seveas> Mateusz, hmm, good point again, running out of ideas :)
[21:06] <X-Seti> bbl
[21:06] <Mateusz> Seveas: it should be possible to force chroot to use other libc than the parent one for running bash in chroot ;/
[21:07] <ubuntu> Shadow420 dont know. it was working before
[21:07] <s_> can someone please guide me to fix the problem while installing ubuntu 7,10
[21:07] <GIn> ryan__: I am not receiving any pm from you :\
[21:07] <Shadow420> ubuntu where is grubs home
[21:07] <Alan_M> s_, only if you tell us what problem your having, were not mind readers ;)
[21:07] <danand> Mateusz - use a distro like dsl - run it from a usb stick? Then burn ubuntu 64 from there?
[21:07] <s_> ok
[21:07] <ubuntu> shachaf in sda5 or sda6
[21:07] <shinden> some one hawe logs from syslog-ng on selected console ?
[21:08] <Mateusz> danand: downloading dsl on amd64 would solve it
[21:08] <Seveas> Mateusz, maybe but I have no clue how :)
[21:08] <ryan__> GIn,  You get invite?
[21:08] <GIn> ryan__: nope
[21:08] <s_> ive pressed to install ubuntu and afterward will probably popup a window which says input not detected
[21:08] <Mateusz> danand: but I am not sure if I can boot from memory stick:P
[21:08] <Shadow420> ubuntu where is grub located at on the MBR or on the ubuntu partition/Hard Drive
[21:08] <ryan__> GIn,  would you join #helpStPat ?
[21:08] <BritGuy> Anyone have any idea why Ubuntu wouldn't recognnise a network card?
[21:08] <danand> Mateusz - bah :)
[21:08] <khakane> hrmmm im using xnest with remote dekstop client, and i try to connect to a LAN X-windows, and i get grey screen...

[21:09]  * Alan_M looks for ubotu...is it here?
[21:09] <Alan_M> seveas you still messing with it?
[21:09] <erUSUL> Alan_M: ubotu2 ?
[21:09] <Odd-rationale> Mateusz: you could use puppylinux which boots completely into ram and afterwards you can remove the boot medium...
[21:09] <BritGuy> Thanks for your help, it's a wired connection
[21:10] <Seveas> Alan_M, it got a good kick in the nuts, it misbehaved
[21:10]  * Alan_M thought that would have triggered ONE of the bots at least :/
[21:10] <Squirm> x-Seti, can i go pvt pls?
[21:10] <s_> the orange line is filling up
[21:10] <BritGuy> The device just fails to activate
[21:10] <Mateusz> Odd-rationale: I dont understand why every ubuntu cd I have is i686 :(
[21:10] <erUSUL> BritGuy: what does «lspci | grep -i net» returns?
[21:10] <s_> now a black screen apears
[21:10] <Alan_M> Seveas, yeah...here lately its been cranky in the forum beginner team....and...lag...omg dude, that thing lagged.
[21:10] <Seveas> Alan_M, there's no proper failover between bots yet, I'm working on that :)
[21:10] <Mateusz> Odd-rationale: are there amd64 versions?
[21:10] <s_> a line is blinking
[21:10] <zcat[1]> !botsnack

[21:11] <Alan_M> Seveas, yeah, i loved that thing (when it worked of course) love what you did, wish i could get my supybot to do that. (yes i know i went off topic but hey giving kudos) :)
[21:11] <s_> i just hear now voice
[21:11] <spanther> Shadow420, x86 32bit is named x86 itself only :)
[21:11] <s_> but i dont c
[21:11] <Mateusz> Shadow420: the one I booted is i686
[21:11] <Seveas> Alan_M, supybot sucks. ubotu will soon no longer be a supybot

[21:13] <Alan_M> !backup | spmccann
[21:13] <erUSUL> BritGuy: that will show what network card do you have so  we can find out which driver it should be using...
[21:13] <Odd-rationale> s_: so you could hear the login sound?
[21:13] <Mateusz> Seveas: Hmm trying to download libc6-amd64 ...
[21:13] <Seveas> Alan_M, not yet :)
[21:13] <Alan_M> haha...yep..did it again.

[21:13] <ddrplayer512> Hello, everyone!
[21:13] <Mateusz> Shadow420: much faster only 3mb
[21:13] <ponygirl> hi
[21:13] <Odd-rationale> ddrplayer512: hi

[21:14] <s_> whats fl
[21:14] <Oprtz> hello there
[21:14] <erUSUL> kleingeist: maybe the cpu governor is wrong what does cpufreq-info returns?
[21:14] <Odd-rationale> s_: function key 1
[21:14] <_CitizenKane_> does anyone know of a good VPN solution that can connect a lot of people to an entire LAN?
[21:14] <s_> ah f1
[21:14] <s_> sorry
[21:14] <erUSUL> spmccann: it is very well known on unix but i have only a desktp machine here and have not used it
[21:14] <ddrplayer512> Does anyone know a good place to buy a quality laptop with Ubuntu on it?
[21:14] <erUSUL> ddrplayer512: dell
[21:14] <alphakamp> system76
[21:15] <Odd-rationale> ddrplayer512: dell and system76
[21:15] <ddrplayer512> Ah, I forgot about system76, thanks!
[21:15] <wuxia> I want to use libcairo2-dev with debugging symbols (but the same version that ubuntu currently has); how do I do this in ubuntu? ( i guess it involves deb-src ?)
[21:15] <fr33way> !backup |freeway
[21:15] <s_> ok now u have a window
[21:15] <fr33way> !backup | fr33way
[21:15] <s_> a line is blinking
[21:15] <Flare183> ???
[21:15] <phaedral> thinking about ubuntu for my hand-me-down macbookpro; open to comments
[21:15] <s_> what next
[21:15] <Odd-rationale> s_: so in ctrl+alt+f1 you just have a blinking line?
[21:16] <Oprtz> today i install ubuntu with windowsXP on my desktop machine with 2 seperate HDD for both OS (NO DUEL BOOT), when log into ubuntu it shows correct time and date but when log in to windowsXP the time is 5 hours behind, shows 5 hour difference, why is that? how to correct this problem?
[21:16] <Alan_M> seveas, is the trigger for ubotu2 still !?
[21:16] <s_> there is a lot of text writen
[21:16] <Seveas> Alan_M, ubotu is back :)
[21:16] <Odd-rationale> s_: Is there a prompt?
[21:16] <erUSUL> Oprtz: you choosed during ubuntu install to set bios to utc time; didn't you?
[21:17] <spanther> 14 days left :(((
[21:17] <spmccann> erSUL thnaks, i seen teh webite but you know how it is :)
[21:17] <Alan_M> i hit enter before i saw it, heh
[21:17] <Shadow420> phaedral I am not sure there is a ubuntu for macs what type of macbook is it ppc or intel-based
[21:17] <s_> and the last line is ubuntu@ubuntu:
[21:17] <Alan_M> !backup | fr33way
[21:17] <alphakamp> Oprtz: you probe need to update WinXP it needs timezone updates and/or you havent set  the correct timezone
[21:17] <phaedral> intel; core duo
[21:17] <Flare183> Alan_M: it is supposed to be
[21:17] <Oprtz> alphakamp: ahh ok thanks i will cheke this option
[21:17] <s_> whats prompt
[21:17] <X-Seti> Squirm, sure
[21:17] <ubotu> fr33way: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[21:17] <Flare183> Shadow420: what type of mac book? A G4, or what?
[21:17] <Flare183> !who | s_
[21:17] <Alan_M> wow, there we go, just a little lag :)
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> s_: ok try typing: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then <enter>
[21:18] <alphakamp> !cloning
[21:18] <Shadow420> phaedral then ubuntu 7.10 x86 version
[21:18] <ddrplayer512> A MacBook is an Intel Mac. The PowerPC equivalent is the iBook.
[21:18] <phaedral> Flare183: hand-me-down; mac book pro running tiger w/ a core duo
[21:18] <ubotu> s_: 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 :)
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> s_: choose vesa as your vidoe driver
[21:18] <Flare183> phaedral: then yeah it's intel
[21:18] <Oprtz> one more thing, i install compiz and i get the extra visual effect option but still it says you cant get 3d effect, my video card it Intel 946gz express chipset 128mb
[21:18] <erUSUL> Oprtz: In /etc/default/rcS you can set UTC to no to make linux "respect" the (wrong) windows time
[21:18] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[21:18] <phaedral> but, dude, I am _so_ hooked on my dual-boot compaq, and really miss apt-get
[21:18] <GIn> we need an ultimate Wireless setup guide for beginners. :\
[21:19] <erUSUL> !wifi
[21:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:19] <Flare183> Oprtz: you mean the 3D cube?
[21:19] <kleingeist> currently my cores run at 2,2 ghz
[21:19] <Alan_M> GIn, due to the immense ammounts of wireless cards, no specific instructions for your exact card can be made though. so yeah.
[21:19] <Flare183> !who > kleingeist
[21:19] <Shadow420> phaedral Flare183 so best thing to do is get Ubuntu 7.10 x86 version and try it out
[21:19] <Flare183> Shadow420: yes
[21:20] <ponygirl> hello
[21:20] <Flare183> !hi | ponygirl
[21:20] <ubotu> ponygirl: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:20] <Oprtz> Flare183: when i press on extra visual efect button, shows error saysing 3d effect have to enable
[21:20] <Shadow420> phaedral and let me guess NO floppy?
[21:20] <ponygirl> thanx atleast i am appresiated here
[21:20] <phaedral> heh
[21:20] <phaedral> no floppy indeed
[21:20] <erUSUL> !who | kleingeist
[21:20] <Oprtz> Flare183: yes i would love to learn how to use this 3d cube ?
[21:20] <ubotu> kleingeist: 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 :)
[21:20] <Flare183> Oprtz: do you have ccsm installed?
[21:20] <Alan_M> ponygirl, do you have a question for us?
[21:20] <Shadow420> phaedral BLAH
[21:20] <Oprtz> Flare183 : yes i did
[21:21] <GIn> Alan_M: maybe a step by step how to try to get the card workin...
[21:21] <ponygirl> no
[21:21] <kleingeist> erUSUL: my two cores run at 2,2 ghz ;-)
[21:21] <Odd-rationale> s_: things working?
[21:21] <wuxia> I wnat to rebuild a ubuntu package with debugging support; how do I do that?
[21:21] <Flare183> Oprtz: ok then... Find the button that says Rotate Cube
[21:21] <s_> aha
[21:21] <Oprtz> but right now i dont have access to my ubuntu machine, sis is sleeping :)
[21:21] <erUSUL> kleingeist: and thay should run faster?
[21:21] <s_> use kernel framebuffer device interface
[21:21] <Flare183> Oprtz: oh crap. Then you will have to do this later
[21:21] <Shadow420> phaedral I have a guide I compilied to get ubuntu installed on a floppy for a safer dual-booting
[21:21] <s_> should i press yes or no
[21:21] <Odd-rationale> s_: yes
[21:21] <phaedral> sad part is, it's a great box for the right person, a consumer appliance type user; but, dammit, I want my *nix goodies
[21:21] <Oprtz> Flare183: yes i think so, thanks dear for ur help
[21:22] <Flare183> Oprtz: no problem
[21:22] <spanther> the Hauppauge Win-TV Nova-T PCI Remote Control isnt supported with all buttons yet hope they fix that :)
[21:22] <Oprtz> cya and bbye
[21:22] <Oprtz> ;)
[21:22] <Odd-rationale> s_: accept the default for the rest
[21:22] <s_> autodetect keybord layout yes or no
[21:22] <Shadow420> phaedral without making grub install on to the MBR and have to fix it to get it off
[21:22] <phaedral> and osX is not nearly so friendly on that score as I'd been led to believe
[21:22] <s_> ok
[21:22] <s_> thx
[21:22] <kleingeist> erUSUL: no, the cores should run at full capacity; the cpu usage is around 10 % when i need the power
[21:22] <Odd-rationale> s_: yes
[21:22] <Flare183> ouch
[21:22] <Flare183> ??
[21:22] <Boohbah> phaedral: are you saying ubuntu is missing some unix goodies? what would those be?
[21:23] <s_> which mouse port
[21:23] <kleingeist> erUSUL: for extracting archives for example, this takes painfully much time
[21:23] <erUSUL> kleingeist: maybe the cpu governor is wrong what does «cpufreq-info» returns?
[21:23] <Shadow420> phaedral so my only suggestion is to make a grub boot cd
[21:23] <erUSUL> !sgd
[21:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:23] <phaedral> Boohbah: no, max os X is

[21:52] <arvind_khadri> IndyGunFreak, oh ok for installation of ubuntu
[21:52] <Odd-rationale> phix: april 24
[21:52] <GrueTamer> because its going to set up your xorg file, which is going to be the file that configures/allows the launch for xorg (the gui)
[21:52] <inspired12> 14 days from now I think
[21:52] <Iderik> phix, 13 days i think
[21:52] <Alan_M> inspired12, please talk about hardy in #ubuntu+1, thanks :)
[21:52] <inspired12> cool thanks
[21:52] <arvind_khadri> IndyGunFreak, tell that to Iderik :)
[21:52] <Wibble-> Hi - I just installed hardy and my X (on board chip) has dumped me back to 800x600! I'm sure it can support more than this, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't give me options to update the resolution like it used to do!
[21:52] <IndyGunFreak> arvind_khadri: he'll figure it out on his own if he reads the links
[21:52] <phix> Odd-rationale, Iderik: w00t! Will it fix the problem I Have been experencing with my intel wireless card? :)
[21:52] <pharoh> how can i make a torrent manager my default download manager?
[21:53] <Odd-rationale> phix: dunno
[21:53] <arvind_khadri> IndyGunFreak, :) thats not fair
[21:53] <Totem> I still get this error when I install: X Server: unable to detect
[21:53] <Odd-rationale> pharoh: a torrent client only manages torrent downloads not http or ftp downloads
[21:53] <arvind_khadri> Totem sudo dpkg --configure xserver
[21:53] <BritGuy> erSUSL - I have tried the "sudo modprobe via-rhine" command but it returns nothing, does this mean the via driver is not loaded?
[21:53] <GrueTamer> Totem: make sure to enter the correct info in
[21:54] <Totem> I did
[21:54] <arvind_khadri> Totem sudo dpkg --configure xserver GrueTamer this should work right
[21:54] <Totem> I did, it doesn't know what xserver is
[21:55] <Odd-rationale> Totem: did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg" work?
[21:55] <Totem> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62774/
[21:55] <Odd-rationale> *sxerver
[21:55] <pharoh> Odd-rationale: ???i don't think i understand.okay,i'm downloading from btjunkie,en whenever i do,it uses bittorrent...how can i make it use ktorrent instead?
[21:55] <s_> Odd-rationale, is it possible to run ubuntu in safe graphic mode and than to try to install it
[21:55] <Odd-rationale> *xserver
[21:55] <arvind_khadri> Odd-rationale, that was the one i was lookng for
[21:55] <GrueTamer> Totem: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[21:55] <ek> Wowzers. This channel is larger than I expected. :P
[21:55] <GrueTamer> im not sure what kind of state youre in, but youre missing something
[21:55] <GrueTamer> and if you try to install that, hopefully, itll bring in dependencies that you seem to need
[21:55] <Odd-rationale> s_: yes that is possible
[21:56] <inspired12> haha wowzers
[21:56] <s_> ok
[21:56] <ek> inspired12: :P
[21:56] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, would purging X do a harm??
[21:56] <s_> Odd-rationale, ill give a try
[21:56] <Odd-rationale> pharoh: download the .torrent file. rightlick and select open with ktorrent
[21:56] <GrueTamer> arvind_khadri: depends
[21:56] <GrueTamer> i would reinstall it
[21:56] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, for his case...i feel he should purge it
[21:56] <erUSUL> BritGuy: no it means that it just loaded fine... does "ifconfig -a" report your interface now ?
[21:56] <h0ax> how would i compile xubuntu desktop ... apt-get install xubuntu ?
[21:57] <Totem> odd-rationale: no, that did not work
[21:57] <GrueTamer> h0ax: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[21:57] <Odd-rationale> h0ax: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[21:57] <erUSUL> h0ax: that will download and install not compile it
[21:57] <BritGuy> erUSUL - I will give that shot, thanks for your help
[21:57] <arvind_khadri> h0ax,sudo apt-get install xfce4-desktop
[21:57] <Odd-rationale> Totem: what error message?
[21:57] <erUSUL> BritGuy: no problem
[21:57] <ForzaPalermo> hey i got a question about samba, i have a share working fine on my linux server to windows, but how do i give different rights of the folders in the shares to my users
[21:57] <Totem> No error message, it just didn't solve my problem
[21:57] <GrueTamer> arvind_khadri: he should definitely be purging it, his xorg file is weird
[21:57] <J-Unit> for pidgin, is it possible to not show offline ppl but showing only 1 offline person (same person) at all times?
[21:57] <h0ax> aptitude .. or apt-get for the xubuntu ?
[21:58] <Odd-rationale> Totem: did you try using vesa as your video driver?
[21:58] <GrueTamer> h0ax: either
[21:58] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, tats what i said :) ask him
[21:58] <ForzaPalermo> it looks like i can only make rules at the top level, any ideas
[21:58] <Odd-rationale> h0ax: aptitude may be better...
[21:58] <ermen> attempting to boot ubuntu from a cd - i just get this message on an otherwise blank screen: 133-P19700-18
[21:58] <GrueTamer> i use aptitude because of dependency reasons, apt-get works
[21:58] <GrueTamer> arvind_khadri: and i agreed :)
[21:58] <Totem> odd-rationale: why can't I just use the drivers from ati?
[21:58] <arvind_khadri> h0ax, its better to use apt-get
[21:58] <ermen> any idea what would cause that?
[21:58] <cder> did adduser andy admin got adduser comand not found
[21:58] <arvind_khadri> hoax and its xfce4-desktop
[21:58] <arvind_khadri> cder??
[21:59] <GrueTamer> except he wants xubuntu, not just xfce4, no?
[21:59] <Totem> odd-rationale: do you know what my original problem was?
[21:59] <cder> arvind_khadri: yes thats me
[21:59] <Odd-rationale> Totem: sorry, i don't remember. ati driver issues?
[21:59] <inspired12> oh I remember
[22:00] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, thats brings in everything as i had used it,need to get thunar seaprately
[22:00] <inspired12> things have gotten better though
[22:00] <arvind_khadri> cder ya what happened??
[22:00] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me where is the mozilla cache folder in ubuntu?????
[22:00] <Lunar_Lamp_> !ram
[22:00] <ubotu> A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html
[22:00] <cder> did adduser andy admin command adduser not found
[22:00] <GrueTamer> actually...
[22:00] <Lunar_Lamp_> !64bit
[22:00] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[22:00] <GrueTamer> Totem: how long have you been in ubuntu
[22:00] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, hey is there any way to clean the RAM??
[22:00] <Totem> Odd-rationalse: Ok, so I tried installing the ati drivers on their website. Everything works, but then it says this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62770/
[22:01] <cder> not as root but as andy user
[22:01] <thunc> Odd-rationale: only problem with that is the amount of work done
[22:01] <arvind_khadri> cder am not getting y
[22:01] <ForzaPalermo> hey i got a question about samba, i have a share working fine on my linux server to windows, but how do i give different rights of the folders in the shares to my users
[22:01] <ForzaPalermo> it looks like i can only make rules at the top level, any ideas
[22:01] <Totem> GrueTamer: I have had it on my comp for about 1 1/2 years, but I have only really used it for about 3 days
[22:01] <cder> listen i tried what you said
[22:01] <GrueTamer> ok
[22:01] <arvind_khadri> cder, go to terminal say sudo -i
[22:01] <GrueTamer> now, does your gui work
[22:01] <Totem> Odd-rationale: Ok, so I tried installing the ati drivers on their website. Everything works, but then it says this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62770/
[22:02] <Odd-rationale> thunc: what was the problem?
[22:02] <cder> adduser andy admin then got adduser command not found
[22:02] <arvind_khadri> cder $sudo adduser andy admin
[22:02] <s_> same message in safe mode
[22:02] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell how can i retrieve vidos lying in the mozzilla cache???????
[22:02] <Odd-rationale> Totem: you couldnt use the drivers in the restricted drivers manager?
[22:02] <s_> Odd-rationale, same message in safe mode
[22:03] <arvind_khadri> cder go to System->Users and Groups
[22:03] <Totem> Odd-rationale: For some reason, I don't have that program. Is there some way I can isntall it with get-apt?
[22:03] <arvind_khadri> cder there you can add
[22:03] <Odd-rationale> s_: try using the alternative cd instead... other than that it is difficult to solve over irc...
[22:03] <GrueTamer> Totem: what version of ubuntu do you have
[22:03] <samoshit> how can i browse network shares via commandline?  like "ls -l //server/share" but that doesn't work
[22:03] <Totem> GrueTamer: Hardy, and I know I should proly be on Ubuntu+1, but I figured it was a pretty generic question
[22:04] <CorteZ> Hello
[22:04] <thunc> Odd-rationale: You do know what kind of tests mactimes? . Is that what it is/does :P
[22:04] <GrueTamer> ok
[22:04] <GrueTamer> um
[22:04] <s_> Odd-rationale, where to download it
[22:04] <mactimes> thunc: ??
[22:04] <s_> Odd-rationale, u have link
[22:04] <GrueTamer> Totem: sudo apt-get install restricted-manager
[22:04] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell how can i retrieve vidos lying in the mozzilla cache???????
[22:04] <thunc> mactimes: who are you?
[22:04] <arvind_khadri> Cortez hi
[22:04] <cder> arvind which planet are you on?
[22:04] <Odd-rationale> s_: yes. hold
[22:04] <mactimes> thunc: u just sent me a message...
[22:04] <s_> Odd-rationale, ok
[22:04] <arvind_khadri> cder the same u are from
[22:04] <cder> its asks me for my password then says i am not in the sudoers file
[22:05] <Odd-rationale> s_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/
[22:05] <caveman26>  why does myspace work so well in konqueror, and is sooooo slow and sometimes crashes firefox?
[22:05] <arvind_khadri> cder, then boot into recovery mode and issue the command adduser <username> admin
[22:05] <GrueTamer> caveman26: because its horrendously inefficient? (myspace)
[22:05] <cder> recovery why?
[22:06] <BritGuy> SUSL - I tried the ifconfig -a command and it returned 3 interfaces, loopback, eth0 - only an Inet6 address, eth0:avah - emergency IP address 169.254 etc...
[22:06] <arvind_khadri> cder, as recovery mode is default root
[22:06] <GrueTamer> or maybe because firefox is giving your hardware a run for its money
[22:06] <s_> Odd-rationale x86 or 64 bit should i use
[22:06] <Odd-rationale> thunc: I'm sorry, I don't think I understand you issue... could you try asking again?
[22:06] <cder> thats from a root terminal in recovery mode
[22:06] <arvind_khadri> cder yeah
[22:06] <Odd-rationale> s_: x86
[22:06] <s_> Odd-rationale, ok
[22:06] <cder> yes i know i go into root from the normal screen terminal
[22:07] <cder> its called su - root then root password
[22:07] <arvind_khadri> cder reboot the system u'll find a option in grub as recovery mode
[22:07] <arvind_khadri> cder, there say adduser andy admin
[22:07] <cder> ok here we go
[22:08] <s_> Odd-rationale, wooow what a download speed
[22:09] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, is there a way to clear ram??
[22:10] <GrueTamer> arvind_khadri: ive seen windows programs for it, but i havent seen a linux prog for it/havent really seen the need for one
[22:10] <J-Unit> s_, 64-bit!! (unless u use flash alot..if u use a very bit then use 64)
[22:10] <arvind_khadri> GrueTamer, hmm....
[22:10] <Odd-rationale> s_: slow?
[22:10] <BritGuy> erSUSL - I tried the ifconfig -a command and it returned 3 interfaces, loopback, eth0 - only an Inet6 address, eth0:avah - emergency IP address 169.254 etc...

[22:12] <GIn> billytwowilly: #ubuntu-offtopic (gmail)
[22:12] <Alan_M> me, your question might be better suited in #ubuntustudio
[22:12] <jake_> exit
[22:12] <me> i understand no one around there
[22:12] <Odd-rationale> me: what have you installed so far?
[22:13] <me> i installed the compiz package
[22:13] <me> along with emerald
[22:13] <me> but after i restarted x nothing still
[22:13] <Odd-rationale> me: did you insall ccsm?
[22:13] <me> yeah
[22:13] <Odd-rationale> me: do alf+f2 and type "compiz --replace"
[22:13] <rwycuff> me:did you enable compiz in ccsm
[22:13] <Odd-rationale> +alt
[22:13] <me> saw a post about kernel headers but it was for fiesty

[22:14] <thunc> mactimes: sure
[22:14] <haeretik> hello people!! whats news?
[22:14] <thunc> Odd-rationale: yes
[22:14] <mactimes> thunc: ????
[22:14] <arvind_khadri> haeretik, this isnt off-topic channel
[22:15] <BritGuy> Can anyone think of a reason why my Via network card cannot get an IP address from my routers DHCP when it's driver is loaded, could SELinux be preventing DHCP from assigning an address?
[22:15] <rwycuff> me:look in ccsm someplace in options had issue with that once myself but there wasnt any panels turned on so it would not rotate or anyhting
[22:15] <thunc> mactimes: yes
[22:15] <J-Unit> how do i find out my dns servers?
[22:15] <BritGuy> Any help on this would be much appreciated, my knowledge into Linux is a tad lacking
[22:16] <mactimes> thunc: yes what??
[22:16] <Stroganoff> BritGuy i dont know but why are you using SELinux anyway?
[22:16] <PaloAlto> hello
[22:16] <danbhfive> anyone know of a webpage of supported wiki technologies for ubuntu?
[22:16] <Odd-rationale> PaloAlto:  hi
[22:17] <PaloAlto> my screen is 800*600 reso but my desktop is 1280*1040
[22:17] <PaloAlto> how do i fix this ?
[22:17] <StevenX> how do I change a program's icon throughout the system?
[22:17] <Stroganoff> PaloAlto: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:17] <BritGuy> Stroganoff, I'm not sure if SELinux is enabled or not, i read on a forum that it could be a prob in this situation
[22:17] <MrBill> Would an 850mhz PC with 512mb of ram and a geforce 6 256mb video card give a pretty smooth edubuntu experience?
[22:18] <tylerflick> MrBill: Yes
[22:18] <GIn> MrBill: I think yes
[22:18] <spanther> MrBill, lol yep :)
[22:18] <arvind_khadri> PaloAlto, go to System->Preferences->Screen resolution
[22:18] <Odd-rationale> MrBill: not too bad
[22:18] <Stroganoff> SELinux isn't part of default ubuntu, BritGuy. it has to be something different
[22:18] <MrBill> nice
[22:18] <spanther> MrBill, 850mhz doesnt work for "every" media like dvd playback it could lag but yeah it works nice :)
[22:18] <tylerflick> Has anyone tried the new flash pluggin?
[22:18] <BritGuy> Sroganoff - ok thanks for that i prob getting confused i have tried a few different linux distros
[22:19] <arvind_khadri> tylerflick, u mean the non-free ones??
[22:19] <tylerflick> yes
[22:19] <Stroganoff> BritGuy: open up a terminal, run: sudo dhclient
[22:19] <arvind_khadri> tylerflick, yeah i did
[22:19] <tylerflick> arving_khadri:they just installed
[22:19] <PaloAlto> arvind its set to 1280*1024 there
[22:19] <Odd-rationale> tylerflick: I haven't have any trouble with it.
[22:19] <PaloAlto> it only displays in 800*600
[22:19] <tylerflick> Great
[22:19] <arvind_khadri> PaloAlto, then u need to reconfigure ur X
[22:19] <COMANDER> how can i set macedonian keyboard support
[22:19] <COMANDER> ?
[22:20] <tylerflick> Alright I need to pick someones brain who has some experience with Unison. Any takers?

[22:22] <tylerflick> daemon3: That's all I get
[22:22] <daemon3> tylerflick: you have the same problem?
[22:22] <tylerflick> daemon3: It's probably not compatable with compiz
[22:22] <daemon3> Oh, yeah, I have compiz.
[22:23] <daemon3> Would editing xorg.conf help?
[22:23] <BobSlob> Anyone know why I can't get the 720p resolution so I can properly setup my mythtv box.. it wont let me go higher than 1024x768

[22:26] <orudie_> is there a way to check for how long the ip of my ubuntu was not changed
[22:26] <tylerflick> sarah_bear: I don't know off of the top of my head. I'm sure it's in you software sources manager
[22:26] <orudie> is there a way to check for how long the ip of my ubuntu was not changed
[22:26] <sarah_bear> oh okay, well thanks a lot ill look into it
[22:27] <lysa> join /#edubuntu
[22:27] <StPatrick> ping

[22:27] <lysa> has any install edubuntu w7.10 successfully
[22:27] <farruinn> orudie: if you have access to the router/dhcp server the first thing that comes to mind is to check there
[22:28] <Datz>  Seveas, you around?
[22:28] <tarelerulz> I have been reading a bunch of getting a program that support jingle so I can voice chat with gtalk ,but I have yet to make any work. Dos any one know of a client that has jingle support ?
[22:29] <Datz>  Seveas(or anyone) my old mac cannot load live cd, is there a command just to install?
[22:29] <farruinn> sarah_bear: /etc/shadow I believe
[22:29] <orudie> farruinn, its not connected to the router, the box is right next to me
[22:29] <asymptote> How do I enable remote desktop to the login screen?
[22:29] <daemon3> Also, for some reason I can't rotate the cube in Compiz.
[22:29] <sarah_bear> farruinn is is md5 or how is it stored?
[22:29] <lysa> #edubuntu
[22:30] <farruinn> sarah_bear: um, based on man shadow it looks like the default is DES but can be others.
[22:30] <Datz> Is there someone how has just a min that knows about Kubuntu on a mac that I can PM??
[22:30] <farruinn> sarah_bear: such as md5
[22:30] <asymptote> How do I enable remote desktop to the login screen?
[22:31] <Datz> Is there someone how has just a min that knows about Kubuntu on a mac that I can PM??
[22:31] <sarah_bear> i dont know what DES is heh
[22:31] <sarah_bear> !info DES
[22:31] <ubotu> Package des does not exist in gutsy
[22:31] <farruinn> asymptote: I don't know how to answer your question off the top of my head but I like using ssh -X and running stuff in that way
[22:31] <BritGuy> Stroganof - i have tried the sudo dhclient you mentioned, the command listens and sends on LPF/eth0/MacAddress....., then does a DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (3 times), then shows "No DHCP offer received"
[22:31] <Datz> this room is too big  :)
[22:32] <asymptote> farruinn, I'll give it a try

[22:32] <farruinn> asymptote: if you want to use ssh you'll obviously have to have that installed on the remote machine, but if you want to use remote gdm login that would have to be configured as well.
[22:33] <asymptote> farruinn, I already have it installed I'm trying ti now
[22:33] <Stroganoff> BritGuy i'm also kind of clueless :/
[22:33] <Alan_M> magnetron, you can also tell sarah_bear the same message :)

[22:34] <asymptote> farruinn, thanks for your help, but I'll have to test this on logout
[22:34] <asymptote> farruinn, and I can't log out now because if I can't get back into my server I'm screwed

[22:37] <BritGuy> So really need it to work on DHCP
[22:37] <hischild> d0lphin_n0el, ssh is command line, just like a shell. That's what it stands for.
[22:37] <_Coggz_> anyone know how to get an intel microphone to work with alsa its an intel 82801DB-2CH4
[22:37] <Stroganoff> BritGuy you should be able to set up DNS and Gateway in the Control Panel of ubuntu
[22:37] <farruinn> AliRezaTaleghani: I think the default kernels are smp these days.
[22:38] <BritGuy> Is it not possible to acquire the DNS from the router?
[22:38] <Totem> Is there some way to add programs to the applications menu if they weren't installed using the package manager?
[22:38] <farruinn> Totem: right click the menu and choose edit or whatever
[22:39] <AliRezaTaleghani> farruinn: yep , but it is a generic, not an intel base like i686
[22:39] <cder> i  must edit the sudoers file with visudo if i want adny to have sudo privlages what do i edit?
[22:39] <Totem> thanks
[22:39] <petros> kanenas ellinas edw?.

[22:46] <tylerflick> Wow. Ubuntu was being really dumb a minute ago. It was assigning itself the same IP add as my other buntu maching
[22:46] <con-man> :(
[22:46] <LjL> cder: which was what? what was your question and what's the erroneous answer?
[22:46] <hischild> cder, who are you talking to? put that name in front of your answer. And what errors/command ?
[22:46] <cder> yes but the wrong answers as root is deadly
[22:47] <con-man> cder: are you logged in as root right now?
[22:47] <charles|64> anyone have a USB keyboard with volume controls on it?
[22:47] <debaser> me
[22:47] <Totem> maybe someone who is no now can help me... I am trying to install ATI graphics drivers. The installation gives me this message and aborts: X Server: unable to detect
[22:47] <Totem> what could be wrong?
[22:47] <charles|64> debaser: was that to my question?
[22:47] <debaser> charles|64 I do
[22:47] <cder> i issued the visdo coomand i now must type somthing in that file as root
[22:47] <debaser> charles|64 yes
[22:47]  * con-man blinks
[22:48] <LjL> cder, you said earlier:  [Thu Apr 10 2008] [23:06:55] <cder>     yes i know i go into root from the normal screen terminal   [Thu Apr 10 2008] [23:07:13] <cder>     its called su - root then root password
[22:48] <charles|64> debaser: does the volume control work? and what kind of keyboard?\
[22:48] <con-man> !sudo | cder
[22:48] <ubotu> cder: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[22:48] <hischild> cder, we gave you a different command then the visudo one. Did you execute visudo or the other one?
[22:48] <LjL> can you explain that? that command shouldn't *work* on ubuntu, cder.
[22:48] <hischild> LjL, he probably assigned his root a passwd
[22:48] <LjL> hischild: which is unsupported.
[22:48] <valehru> Anyone here using the iwl3945 driver?  Need to enable scanning on it. Using gutsy....
[22:48] <hischild> LjL, i'm very much aware of it
[22:49] <LjL> hischild: i'm sure you are. and you wouldn't be doing something very unsupported and then claim you were given bad advice, either.
[22:49] <cder> i tried adduser andy admin then got adduser command not found it has to be done from the sudoers file useinf the visdo command
[22:49] <debaser> charles|64, yes, on a microsoft natural keyboard pro
[22:50] <charles|64> debaser: kool thanks
[22:50] <LjL> cder: no. the adduser command *exists*, unless you messed something seriously up.
[22:50] <lvk> [R] hello! is it possible to boot from x86_64 ubuntu livecd, remount cd, build/install a kernel module?
[22:50] <debaser> charles|64,  ur welcome
[22:50] <LjL> and the *correct* way to make an user admin is to add them to the admin group, using "adduser user admin".
[22:50] <LjL> of course, if your /etc/sudoers is messed up, that won't work, but that's another story.
[22:50] <hischild> cder, the default admin group is called admin. To add users to this group, you execute sudo adduser <username> admin. And as LjL says, the adduser command _does_ exist and _is_ needed.
[22:50] <charles|64> debaser: ill assume the play and stop buttons work?
[22:50] <LjL> if you have no "adduser" command, then i suspect that your PATH variable may be wrong.
[22:51] <sTiVo> Have question about nss-devel which exists in redhat but apparently not in ubuntu.
[22:51] <farruinn> sTiVo: is it the libnss3-dev package?
[22:52] <Boohbah> sTiVo: maybe libnss3-dev ?
[22:52] <cder> hischild: as root or as user andy
[22:52] <hischild> LjL, i don't have a root password. If i really need a root shell, there are other ways to accomplish that.
[22:52] <sTiVo> I don't know, you say libnss3-dev?  Possibly that's it.
[22:52] <hischild> cder, as root it's just adduser user admin. As user it's sudo adduser user admin.
[22:52] <Boohbah> sTiVo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or 'apt-cache search nss'
[22:52] <farruinn> sTiVo: apt-cache show libnss3-dev may verify for you
[22:52] <con-man> cder: never log in as root while hooked up to the internet
[22:52] <con-man> !sudo | cder
[22:52] <ubotu> cder: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[22:52] <sTiVo> thanks very much

[22:54] <tomtommy> sTiVo, np. glad I could help :)

[23:14] <daves111> I'm having trouble updating open office and other programs
[23:14] <eric> i dont talk in all this nonsense well
[23:14] <sTiVo> Ok, now I have three of the six nss libraries I need.

[23:14] <unf> farruinn, ive been told at #python that mod_python is not recomended... :S
[23:14] <bwayne> daves111: what sort of errors are ou getting?
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, we prefer to keep it in channel for your benifit and the benefit of others
[23:14] <ganastasiou> i think its sth else

[23:15] <eric> i dont know how to do it because linux blow
[23:15] <eric> s
[23:15] <badazz3s> i plan on getting another mini pci x card thats more compatiable like a atheros chipset
[23:15] <dmsuperman> eric: that's EXACTLY the thing to say in a channel called "#ubuntu"
[23:15] <r0p> please help rt2x00 git
[23:15] <bwayne> daves111:  the gui should report the appropriate errors when you try to upgrade, so no, i don't think so.
[23:15] <badazz3s> lol
[23:15] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, did you have a question.. we have a room for comments and chatter.
[23:15] <eric> well, i just asked it, this is why i dont like this room
[23:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !samba
[23:16] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[23:16] <eric> im trying to install samba
[23:16] <daves111> i can down'load a zipped file and can open it but can't go from there
[23:16] <eric> i downloaded it but there is no install link
[23:16] <farruinn> eric: if irc is too noisy maybe try the forums
[23:16] <eric> im asking
[23:16] <zcat[1]> how to install samba? right-click a folder and choose 'sharing' -- samba and/or nfs will get installed automagically
[23:16] <xim> "You should never use sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs"  ---------- why is that such a big deal?  the only difference as far as i can tell is that sudo asks for your password in a terminal window and gksudo gives you a dialog box
[23:16] <eric> can you help me ?
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, How did you download it.. synaptic, apt-get, aptitude?
[23:17] <eric> i just clicked on download
[23:17] <eric> i dont know
[23:17] <bwayne> daves111:  i'm a little confused.  are you downloading Open Office directly from their website or are you using ubuntu's built in tools to upgrade?
[23:17] <eric> i dont spend hours a day on a computer
[23:17] <zcat[1]> eric: ubuntu is not windows; you do not 'download' stuff. Use synaptic or add/remove
[23:17] <farruinn> xim: some files get their ownership changed to root which means it causes problems for your non-root users
[23:17] <eric> i clicked on download and it downloaded it
[23:17] <hischild> xim, there's more then just the visual difference. gksudo also sets some ownerships and env values.
[23:17] <zcat[1]> download where?
[23:17] <daves111> bwayne: I am trying to upgrade to the newer version of office
[23:17] <thunc> eric: I'm saying neuroscience so we can figure out how to hook brains up to other stuff
[23:18] <zcat[1]> off a webpage?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, that is not the right way to get samba installed.
[23:18] <eric> this was a free computer, i didnt ask for linux
[23:18] <eric> how do i do it?
[23:18] <john126> daves111: You can upgrade to the latest OpenOffice in the Ubuntu repositories by clicking "Reload",  then "Mark All Upgrades", then "Apply". However, this might not be the latest version available. To get the latest from the Openoffice website, go to http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=2.4.0 . When it asks to download, select the "Open With Gdebi Package Manger" option, then follow the on-screen p
[23:18] <r0p> is there a special wifi linux chan?
[23:18] <eric> how do i install samba?
[23:18] <zcat[1]> eric: linux is only hard if you make it hard.. right click a folder and choose to share it.. ubuntu will go out and get samba, install if and configure it for you...
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, system.. admin.. synaptic.. search for samba, select it and it installs
[23:19] <bwayne> daves111:  yeah, do what john126 suggests.
[23:19] <dmsuperman> f***ing own, ubuntu ftw
[23:19] <dmsuperman> i don't even need a third party software for 2 taskbars :D
[23:19] <john126> daves111: If it comes up with an error saying that a particular package isn't installed, then open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install whateverthepackagenameis".
[23:19] <badazz3s> ubuntu is so easy easier than windows i just type in what im looking for in the package manager and it gets it and installs for me
[23:19] <john126> daves111: it shouldn't do this though ;)
[23:19] <eric> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:19] <eric> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[23:19] <bwayne> eric: sudo apt-get install samba    .  should be just that simple.
[23:19] <eric> thats what it tells me whaen i did what you said
[23:19] <n-iCe> has anyone used gparted?
[23:20]  * badazz3s I mean even everythign has been discussed on the forums too
[23:20] <bwayne> n-iCe: yes.  lots of us have I'm sure.
[23:20] <zcat[1]> eric: ok, open a terminal and type 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[23:20] <eric> i tried synaptic or whatever geek term and it told me this gibberish
[23:20] <D3RGPS31> bwayne, does he even have terminal open? he seems new to linux in all?
[23:20] <daves111> I get pretty confused when I work in terminal
[23:20] <dmsuperman> badazz3s: 100% agreed. i wanted irssi, and rather than google it, go through their ad-ridden website, search for a download link, download, run, decide that i want to install it to the same place that i always do
[23:20] <eric> type it where?
[23:20] <dmsuperman> badazz3s: I just type "sudo apt-get install irssi"
[23:20] <bwayne> D3RGPS31: oh.  my bad.
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> eric, you need to lose the attitude if you want help.
[23:20] <zcat[1]> eric: __open a terminal__ and type 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[23:20] <eric> go fuck youerself geek
[23:20] <n-iCe> bwayne, how do I create a new partition :/ I select partition >> new, but it is blocked, in grey I can't click on it
[23:20] <zcat[1]> applications > accessories > terminal
[23:20] <eric> fucking lame
[23:20] <badazz3s> kick
[23:21] <zcat[1]> fucking troll
[23:21] <D3RGPS31> don't say that =/
[23:21] <D3RGPS31> he's just new, and confused
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> and now hie is gone
[23:21] <badazz3s> lol
[23:21] <D3RGPS31> that doesn't solve his problem
[23:21] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, thansk
[23:21] <dmsuperman> D3RGPS31: hardly, assholes don't deserve help
[23:21] <farruinn> n-iCe: perhaps there's no free space for a new partition?
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> D3RGPS31, he wasnt here to solve anything
[23:22] <badazz3s> whats irssi
[23:22] <zcat[1]> aplolgies.. I cannot stand 'linux is toooooo hard' trolls
[23:22] <n-iCe> farruinn,  well It is. ext3 has 33GB free, how do I cut it to assing space to a new partition?
[23:22] <daves111> are there really 1217 people on here?
[23:22] <ganastasiou> dmsuperman i sent u what ive done
[23:22] <bwayne> n-iCe:  that's strange.  try booting into the GParted LiveCD instead of from within the OS.  GParted acts finicky with me sometimes, too.  Try the livecd.
[23:22] <badazz3s> ohh irc
[23:22] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to make gthumb zoom images using the mouse wheel?
[23:22] <ganastasiou> with etc/fstab
[23:22] <xim> hischild + farruinn : i see thanks
[23:22] <D3RGPS31> someone wanna tell me how i login to my registered name xD
[23:22] <dmsuperman> badazz3s: command line irc client. i was working on getting xserver to work right, and rather than re-opening it, i just opened irssi in a tty :D
[23:22] <linduxed_> oooh....did i miss a troll?
[23:22] <D3RGPS31> (in this IRC)
[23:22] <dmsuperman> ganastasiou: I have no private messages
[23:22] <dmsuperman> linduxed_: totally
[23:23] <john126> daves111: that's the number of people signed on, but a lot are probably browsing the web at the same time, and aren't watching the new messages
[23:23] <J-Unit> wen will hardy cd's be available in shipit? usually wen its almost out u can preorder them...wat happened?
[23:23] <n-iCe> bwayne, I don't have blank cd's is there other way?
[23:23] <dmsuperman> D3RGPS31: /msg nickserv identify YOURPASSWORD
[23:23] <bwayne> D3RGPS31: should be ' /msg NickServ IDENTIFY yourpasswd'

[23:24] <zcat[1]> they just totally annoy me.. I don't like wasting time trying to help someone who is simply tying to make linux look difficult
[23:24] <cyka> anyone know how to make the desktop animated under KDE 3.5?
[23:24] <bwayne> RedScar1: /join #ubuntu+1   :-)
[23:24] <RedScar1> no kidding, is anyone using the beta?
[23:24] <cyka> i've done it once by mistake

[23:24] <farruinn> msg ganastasiou try posting to a pastebin
[23:25] <farruinn> whops
[23:25] <zcat[1]> !botsnack
[23:25] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[23:25] <ganastasiou> how?
[23:25] <zcat[1]> ahh cool, he's up again
[23:25] <dmsuperman> pastebin.com
[23:25] <farruinn> ganastasiou: go to that address and it should become apparent
[23:25] <dmsuperman> paste it, it gives you a link, paste link here
[23:25] <zcat[1]> my lappy pointer is screwed .. damn beta software...
[23:26] <cyka> anyone?
[23:26] <dmsuperman> so, i know i'm going to get yelled at to use OO.o, but I really like the latest. Is it somewhat painless to get MS Office 2007 running on Ubuntu?
[23:26] <thunc> dmsuperman: and their following "cults". Me personally, I was born on Win, on 3.1. And have come to prefer Ubuntu. I hardly use p2p anymore as I only dl individual songs anymore, and use torrents for large files. I only use word processors when I create resume, and god willing I won't have to for a while.
[23:26] <zcat[1]> dmsuperman: super-painful...
[23:26] <farruinn> cyka: maybe in #kubuntu
[23:26] <ganastasiou> http://pastebin.com/m3dc9959e
[23:26] <dmsuperman> zcat[1]: I don't mean painful as in "my life is being drained, i've got the MS all in my ubuntu"
[23:26] <dmsuperman> :P
[23:26] <cyka> t
[23:27] <dmsuperman> is thunc a bot?
[23:27] <thunc> dmsuperman: i'm not about little yellows. also this is a bot
[23:27] <dmsuperman> haha wtf
[23:27] <daves111> thanks, folks; I'll try that and see what happens; i copied your notes
[23:27] <zcat[1]> dmsuperman: MSFT don't go out of their way to avoid undocumented API's in windows.. so I would expect a lot of pain getting any MS software working in wine
[23:28] <Xiol> dmsuperman: can you run XP in a VM and run it in there? prob easier than messing with Wine, even if that is possible. I do agree tho, Office 2007 kicks ass!
[23:28] <linduxed_> anyone aware what can be done if ubuntu decides to after random amounts of time (although generally after about half an hour or so) to during half a minute or less slow down progressively to a total lockdown (often everything apart from frozen screen and mouse movement, even keyboard dies)
[23:28] <D3RGPS31> wooo! back and my sound still fails me =D
[23:28] <dmsuperman> I'd rather not run a whole vm just for office
[23:28] <ChrisULM> zcat[1], getting MS office to work in wine is very easy man. have you even attempted it?
[23:28] <ganastasiou> dmsuperman u saw the pastebin?
[23:28] <BritGuy> The contents of the /etc/resolve.conf file are as follows: nameserver 192.168.0.1, search 192.168.0.1, domain home - but I am unable to get an internet connection from Linux

[23:29] <zcat[1]> I did get WoW running in wine.. my one big achievement!
[23:29] <Action_Hank> Hi, everyone
[23:29] <BritGuy> Does anyone know if this is normal for the resolve.conf file, my router's IP address is 192.168.0.1
[23:29] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: sounds very very normal
[23:29] <Jack_Sparrow> BritGuy, standard router ip
[23:29] <jokie> ?
[23:30] <amenado> BritGuy-> paste your ifconfig; cat /etc/resolv.conf  ;  route -n    <-- how about the route table?
[23:30] <D3RGPS31> anyone experiance MT370*'s problems with ubuntu, being no sound?
[23:30] <sTiVo> now found five of six libraries needed.  where is libnssckbi.so supposed to  come from
[23:30] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: standard rfc1918 address
[23:30] <Action_Hank> I wonder if you all can help me--I can't boot the live CD on my new computer.  I've tried several versions...
[23:30] <D3RGPS31> Action, is your BIOS set to boot from CD?
[23:30] <BritGuy> Hi amenado, is "route" the command?
[23:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Action_Hank, 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 "--"
[23:31] <amenado> BritGuy-> yes.  route -n
[23:31] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: you may need 'sudo route -n' if /sbin isn't in your normal path
[23:31] <Action_Hank> yes; I reach the boot menu on the disc, but starting the live CD just makes the computer hang on the splash screen.  I've checked the media for errors, too.
[23:31] <zcat[1]> or /sbin/route
[23:31] <farruinn> sTiVo: looks like libnss3-0d
[23:31] <BritGuy> Ok I will give that a go, I feel like i've tried everything here lol
[23:32] <BritGuy> Thanks zcat
[23:32] <dmsuperman> ganastasiou: on the phone, back in a sec
[23:32] <Action_Hank> @ Jack - Okay, I'll try that.
[23:32] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: this is a network where windows 'just works' with the default network settings?
[23:32] <amenado> BritGuy-> paste your ifconfig; cat /etc/resolv.conf  ;  route -n    <--in pastebin please so we all can see, and easier reading
[23:32] <BritGuy> Yep I'm in windows now with just defaults and it picks up IP address and DNS from the router
[23:33] <amenado> BritGuy-> you can compare what you have in windows to one in ubuntu by..
[23:33] <amenado> BritGuy-> ipconfig ;  netstat -ran,
[23:33] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: well, it should work the same way in Linux ..
[23:33] <orudie> can anyone recommend a VPS provider with ubuntu ?
[23:33] <daves111> > how do i get to ubuntu repositories
[23:33] <J-Unit> "World Clock Applet
[23:33] <J-Unit> Integrating the features of the intlclock applet, the GNOME panel clock in Beta can display the time and weather in multiple locations. " ...thats for hardy, how can i get this in gutsy?
[23:34] <zcat[1]> daves111: synaptic
[23:34] <ChrisULM> daves111, open synaptic
[23:34] <zcat[1]> J-Unit: backports, perhaps? not sure
[23:34] <BritGuy> It should but it's not, I don't no what else to tell you lol
[23:34] <sam827> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu on a MacBook
[23:34] <ChrisULM> daves111, system > administration >synaptic
[23:34] <J-Unit> zcat[1], wats that and how can i make sure?
[23:34] <funkja> I am connecting to an ftp server and trying to download a file. The number of bytes that it says it receives is more then the size of the file. What could be causing this? It happens consistently.
[23:34] <J-Unit> zcat[1], my gf is in spain and i rely would like to have her time thing there
[23:35] <sTiVo> faruinn - no that isn't it.
[23:35] <daves111> ok, thanks
[23:35] <spine55> sam827: I thought you conuldn't do that
[23:35] <crhybuntu> How do I get jackd and ardour setup for recording?
[23:35] <kitche> funkja: bad connection to the download server
[23:35] <sam827> you can, i've seen it done
[23:35] <sam827> spine55: many use it
[23:35] <crhybuntu> I can't get ardour to record, and I have a feeling it's because I don't have jackd running properly.
[23:35] <StPatrick> Ok Ubuntu, I have a strange strange problem.
[23:35] <dmsuperman> oh sweet jesus
[23:35] <spine55> sam827: sweet
[23:35] <funkja> kitche: okay...
[23:35] <dmsuperman> i never thought the hardware usage was THAT much better in ubuntu
[23:36] <Boohbah> crhybuntu: try qjackctl
[23:36] <gilster32> some want to give me a hand with an mp3 player i have here...?
[23:36] <dmsuperman> i usually use about 1.1 - 1.3 gb of ram at any given time in xp
[23:36] <sam827> so.. can anyone help me with installing Gutsy on a MacBook?
[23:36] <zcat[1]> BritGuy: well, I'd check that the IP is correct (ifconfig eth0) and that you can ping the router. Then I'd check that you can resolve an address .. one thing I have run into is dns-proxying routers that return non-standard replies. Windows seems OK with it, Linux tends to resolve everything to 1.0.0.0 which doesn't work too well
[23:36] <dmsuperman> granted, i'm running quite a few programs
[23:36] <Boohbah> crhybuntu: that stuff is very tricky, struggled with it myself
[23:36] <dmsuperman> but now, i'm only using 385 mb
[23:36] <crhybuntu> I've done it before, but it was over a year ago....
[23:36] <crhybuntu> :/
[23:36] <dmsuperman> and my cpu stays at or below 2%
[23:36] <Chief> Free Radio at   http://www.dollar.ath.cx   when your here lookin for help, why not listen to music?
[23:36] <sam827> I have tried using Disk Utility to create a new partition, but it fails
[23:36] <funkja> kitche: the correct answer was I was using ASCII transfer when I needed to do a binary one. Thanks though.
[23:36] <D3RGPS31> ALSA won't work with my MT3707 sound card after I formatted, it worked before, what should I do?
[23:37] <bwayne> sam827:  what sort of error does the DU give you?
[23:37] <Boohbah> dmsuperman: better find something to occupy your cpu
[23:37] <bwayne> dmsuperman: you need folding@home.  :-)
[23:37] <gilster32> i got a nice little RCA mp3 flash player but it only does MTP mode. I am trying to find a way to get it picked up by some audio program. either banshee, exaile, whatever. I cant get it to go. my lsusb does show the device....what can i do?
[23:37] <sam827> bwayne: h/o
[23:37] <dmsuperman> boohbah: i'm trying to get office 2007 installed ;)
[23:38] <sam827> bwayne: Partition failed for disk (null)  No space left on device
[23:38] <zcat[1]> dmsuperman: you might get better help on #winehq
[23:38] <crhybuntu> Going with qjackctl
[23:38] <bwayne> sam827:  ah.  you have no free space on your drive.  need to clear some up.
[23:38] <dmsuperman> zcat[1]: I was just saying that in response to "better find something to occupy your cpu"
[23:38] <zcat[1]> hmm, 'k
[23:39] <sam827> bwayne: firstly, I'm on leopard. u are supposed to be able to nondestructively resize with it
[23:39] <moDumass> arrrrhhhhh, still "looking up www.google.com...
[23:39] <bwayne> sam827:  not if there isn't enough free space.  :-)
[23:39] <moDumass> why gosh darnit why????
[23:39] <sam827> bwayne: what i do before the error comes is click the little plus and make room for it by shrinking my Mac HD
[23:39] <dmsuperman> anyone know how i might set a hotkey to use the windows key as modifer? i want to use winkey + t for terminal, and winkey + g for gedit, etc.
[23:40] <zcat[1]> moDumass: 64.233.187.99  ;)
[23:40] <RoC_MasterMind> moDumass, sounds like you don't have an internet connection, or your DNS is down.
[23:40] <dmsuperman> however when i go to hit winkey in the keyboard shortcuts screen, it just puts "Super L"
[23:40] <bwayne> sam827:  how much free space do you have on your disk?
[23:40] <zcat[1]> RoC_MasterMind: rule out the first one, he's on IRC :)
[23:40] <gilster32> anyone here know how to get MTP players connected?
[23:40] <kitche> funkyHat: or just use auto mode which is what most do so they do not have to worry about it :)
[23:40] <RoC_MasterMind> zcat[1], hahaha...that's true.
[23:40] <dmsuperman> i love how going to google.com is a 100% guarenteed way to see if you have internet
[23:41] <moDumass> hmmm, ip isnt working either, but i have intenret, ktorrent is still crankin along
[23:41] <bwayne> dmsuperman:  right on.  i ping google nearly daily.
[23:41] <zcat[1]> moDumass: sounds like dns is broke somehow
[23:41] <moDumass> and pidgin is good
[23:41] <sam827> bwayne: I am running both Windows and MacOSX, but on my mac partition i've got 47 gigs free
[23:41] <LSG> bwayne: Same here
[23:41] <moDumass> zcat[1] yeh i think it may be, but, the ip shouldnt need to be translated
[23:41] <gaucho> Hello! I'm having problems with my microphone on gutsy! A can hear my voice very good, but When I try to record it on audacity or gnome sound recorder, the volume goes too small.. I can hear me really bad.. What can I do?
[23:42] <zcat[1]> moDumass: mtr -n 64.233.187.99 and see if there's a useable route
[23:43] <moDumass> zcat, what should i see
[23:43] <bwayne> sam827:  so you go into Disk Utility, Click on the entire drive, and then click 'Partition'.  I that how you're doing it?
[23:43] <moDumass> 15 IPs all giving stats
[23:43] <sam827> bwayne: yep
[23:43] <bwayne> sam827: and you click on the Macintosh HD, and then click + ?  What happens then?
[23:44] <dmsuperman> anybody know how to use windows key as a modifier, and not as "Super L", for keyboard shortcuts?
[23:44] <Boohbah> gaucho: did you turn up the level on the mixer?
[23:44] <sam827> bwayne: I'm able to do it, but when I click apply it tries for 10 minutes then reports the error
[23:44] <Boohbah> the mic level
[23:44] <gaucho> yes, it is at max!
[23:44] <StPatrick> Ok, here we go. I just finally got my Wifi card working, and now it doesnt connect to any networks. Why not?
[23:45] <Boohbah> obviously it's not working
[23:45] <bascule> there is a +20dB gain IIRC for mics
[23:45] <bwayne> sam827: hmm ... I'll need to see *exactly* the error you're given.
[23:45] <moDumass> zcat[1] this is what i get back
[23:45] <moDumass> zcat[1] http://pastebin.com/d45a78fb1
[23:46] <LSG> dmsuperman: Did you try setting it in keyboard shortcuts?
[23:46] <CloudFX> how do i get OpenPGP keys?
[23:46] <sam827> bwayne: my readout from the log file is:

[23:46] <dmsuperman> LSG: I want to use it in combination, like winkey + l
[23:47] <Boohbah> dogmeat: one more upgrade to go before you're using modern software
[23:47] <Iburnaga> Hey does anyone here know how to fix Gurb error 22? I have the data from sudo fdisk -lu
[23:48] <BritGuy> Hello, I have uploaded the contents of my routing table to pastebin, does this look normal, I still cannot get an Internet connection.  Thanks
[23:48] <LSG> dmsuperman: You're right...i can't seem to get it to work either. Maybe use another combination?
[23:48] <CloudFX> anyone?
[23:48]  * chalcedony smiles
[23:48] <sam827>  bwayne: sorry about that
[23:49] <danny> hallo
[23:49] <BritGuy> I must be close to fixing this by now, i've tried everything lol
[23:49] <dmsuperman> LSG: I want to use winkey ;)
[23:49] <sam827> bwayne: btw, that was the wrong one. the real one is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62781/
[23:49] <someone23> iburnaga: i probably dont, but if you had two hard drived in your PC and took one out, you probably need to put it back in
[23:49] <BritGuy> I posted mine to pastebin.com
[23:50] <sam827> bwayne: yt?
[23:50] <Iburnaga> I had an external with the old ubuntu installed on it, I deleted the partition with a windows program and now I can't get anywhere XD So I'll just wait.
[23:50] <someone23> thats all i know about grub. I would tell you to reinstall grub (there's a way of doing that in UBuntu LIVE, but i would hate toi be called "captain obvious"
[23:51] <dmsuperman> LSG: Darn, it's an official bug
[23:51] <bwayne> sam827:  yeah, it appears to give it its best shot for almost 20 minutes and then just dies.  I'll google around some for you.
[23:51] <sam827> bwayne: thanks
[23:51] <Iburnaga> I also keep getting the too small error every time I try to put Ubuntu anywhere, I'm on a live cd right now XD
[23:51] <LSG> dmsuperman: Try this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/45589
[23:52] <someone23> iburnage, but yeah, GRUB likes to put parts of itself on every harddrive it finds, and wont work unless all the HDDs are plugged in (at least form my experience.
[23:52] <StPatrick> Attention Ubuntu, I am in search of someone very patient to help me muddle through some things in linux which I am just barely beginning to understand. Anyone up for a challenge?
[23:52] <someone23> iburnaga, but yeah, GRUB likes to put parts of itself on every harddrive it finds, and wont work unless all the HDDs are plugged in (at least form my experience.
[23:52] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: we're all very patient here.. :)
[23:53] <rsc___> hello guys. is there a way to disable the password prompt after I wakeup my computer after suspend?
[23:53] <someone23> hey, anybody ever have their mouse completely disappear after restarting the X-server with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPCE
[23:53] <StPatrick> zcat[1], you volunteering?
[23:53] <someone23> ?
[23:53] <StPatrick> zcat[1], :P
[23:53] <zcat[1]> rsc___: screensaver/power namagement options I think
[23:53] <moDumass> so i have internet, it seems firefox is being punnished though
[23:53] <chalcedony> my husband has KDE gutsy, i have ubuntu feisty, we are trying to share a printer. I had it working for my computer, but whatever he did disabled it. he wants me to get the kde control module, instead of what i have on gnome. will that work, also can i download that with command line, apt-get?
[23:53] <BritGuy> Does anyone have any idea if the routing table i posted on pastebin.com looks normal?
[23:53] <bwayne> Iburnaga: I got that error once when my second hard drive wasn't anywhere in the boot order in my BIOS.
[23:53] <rsc___> hehe, non, zcat.
[23:53] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: actually I'm just about to go out :)
[23:53] <StPatrick> zcat[1],  Yea......
[23:53] <StPatrick> Attention Ubuntu, I am in search of someone very patient to help me muddle through some things in linux which I am just barely beginning to understand. Anyone up for a challenge?
[23:54] <CloudFX> just say your question..
[23:54] <zcat[1]> !ask | StPatrick
[23:54] <ubotu> StPatrick: 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. :-)
[23:54] <StPatrick> zcat[1],  The problem with that is that i get about 6 people all giving me different answers ;(
[23:54] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: yeah, that happens ...
[23:54] <ChrisULM> what is the question.....
[23:54] <Boohbah> chalcedony: you should just switch to kde, it's much nicer
[23:55] <dmsuperman> StPatrick: Try em all til it works :D
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Boohbah, Not nice...
[23:55] <StPatrick> I just got my wifi working. but I cannot connect to any networks.
[23:55] <StPatrick> I dont know why
[23:55] <someone23> I agree, kde rocks, GNOME IS THE WORST
[23:55] <Aggrav8d> hello, everybody!  Would someone please tell me where I'd go for some help with paypal IPN integration?
[23:55] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: Might also be a good idea to see if there's a LUG nearby and get some hands-on help and guidance that way
[23:55] <dmsuperman> chalcedony: don't lie, it's impossible for a girl to use linux. PARADOX!!!
[23:55] <LSG> <3 Gnome!
[23:55] <dmsuperman> note: sarcasm included
[23:55] <StPatrick> a LUG?
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> someone23, Try staying on topic please
[23:56] <zcat[1]> Linux Users Group
[23:56] <BritGuy> I could do with devine guidance I think, with this network connection lol
[23:56] <bwayne> sam827: no luck with google.  try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook .  Sorry I can't be of any more help.  :-(
[23:56] <chalcedony> dmacnutt: my son is one of the original debian coders.
[23:56] <zcat[1]> dmsuperman: hehe.. my kids (both girls) have been using linux from the beginning ...
[23:56] <ChrisULM> what wifi card are you using?
[23:57] <ganastasiou> dm i did it
[23:57] <MountainD00d> You know, I just decided today that I was going to set up a unix server on an old tower of mine
[23:57] <ganastasiou> with the partition
[23:57] <sam827> bwayne: thanks anyway
[23:57] <StPatrick> Realtek RTL8187b
[23:57] <someone23> Jack_Sparrow: that was in response to "Boohbah>	chalcedony: you should just switch to kde, it's much nicer"
[23:57] <dmsuperman> zcat[1]: EPIC
[23:57] <rsc___> and is there a way for me to run a command when i resume after suspend?
[23:57] <chalcedony> dmsuperman: lol my son is one of the original debian coders.
[23:57] <MountainD00d> Joining this room, I feel very.... inadequate
[23:57] <sam827> bwayne: ill probly end up clean installing l8er2nit
[23:57] <dmsuperman> chalcedony: ditch your husband and marry me
[23:57] <Boohbah> MountainD00d: why?
[23:57] <dmsuperman> chalcedony =P
[23:57] <zcat[1]> dmsuperman: the younger one is our official WLUG penguinsuit-wearer
[23:57] <chalcedony> dmsuperman: you'll get my printer working?
[23:57] <StPatrick> ok then
[23:58] <StPatrick> that settles it
[23:58] <MountainD00d> Boohbah: Well, there is just so much to know. Like... a very, very scary amount
[23:58] <dmsuperman> chalcedony: I'll buy you a new one :D
[23:58] <StPatrick> I'm done with Linux
[23:58] <bwayne> sam827: that *may* be the easiest choice.  When I reinstall, I backup first and then restore stuff once I'm done with the clean install.  I use the program Backup to do this.  Good luck.
[23:58] <Chief> Free Radio at   http://www.dollar.ath.cx   when your here lookin for help, why not listen to music?
[23:58] <invalidsyntax> is therre a restore feature in ubuntu
[23:58] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: if your wifi is working but you can't see any networks, then either there are no networks in range or your wifi isn't really working :)
[23:58] <chalcedony> dmsuperman: i HAVE a new one .. or i wouldn't be here in this mess
[23:58] <sam827> bwayne: i use time machine
[23:58] <dmsuperman> in amarok, how can i make it so double clicking a song in the collection plays it, rather than adds to the list?
[23:58] <StPatrick> zcat[1],  I can see networks. It =just wont connect to any of them
[23:59] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: ahhh, ok.
[23:59] <StPatrick> zcat[1],  Im 4 feet away from the access point, and my other laptop is connected just fine.
[23:59] <sam827> bwayne: this has pissed me off, ive been tryin to do this for like 3 hours
[23:59] <bwayne> sam827: you lucky dog you.  I tried to use TM via SAMBA but couldn't get it working.  I'm not willing to buy a second drive just for the pretty.
[23:59] <sam827> bwayne: yep
[23:59] <bwayne> sam827: when I get pissed at my computer, I take a drive to walmart.
[23:59] <bwayne> always works.
[23:59] <zcat[1]> StPatrick: well, that's a bit odd.. it is open, or encrypted?
[23:59] <sam827> bwayne: haha
[23:59] <StPatrick> zcat[1],  Open.
[23:59] <Iburnaga> PM me if you can help me with my errors ><
