[00:00] <gnychis> how do you determine if you have USB 2.0 or 1.0?
[00:00] <Pelo> Falling-Inferno, all videos or just the one ?
[00:00] <SDmas> hey
[00:00] <Daisuke_Ido> Pelo, and what DE does edubuntu use?
[00:00] <crazytalk_> unop_, i did a cp -a /home/olduser /home/newuser and my hdd churned for about 5 minutes, but now when i compare the contents of each dir they do not match
[00:00] <Pelo> Daisuke_Ido, de ?
[00:00] <nickrud> invertedtwisted hardy has the latest ati drivers .... Why are you doing the manual install?
[00:00] <Falling-Inferno> All videos that are flash and that i stream over the internet
[00:00] <ari_stress> Pelo: thanks, how about the apt-get's sources.list? should I change it?
[00:00] <Daisuke_Ido> Pelo, desktop environment
[00:00] <Invisionfree> unop_: You here
[00:00] <Pelo> ari_stress, no , same repos
[00:00] <Daisuke_Ido> ari_stress, you don't need to change anything, it's already there
[00:00] <Pelo> Daisuke_Ido, I don't know , sorry
[00:00] <unop__> crazytalk_, well, if the directory you copied stuff into already had files and directories, obviously they won't match
[00:01] <unop__> Invisionfree, aye
[00:01] <ari_stress> Daisuke_Ido: waw that's great!!
[00:01] <Daisuke_Ido> Pelo, it uses gnome :)
[00:01] <Invisionfree> unop_: I chrooted and did passwd -u lee and passwd -l root, I still can't log in as lee.
[00:01] <Daisuke_Ido> getting rid of it would be bad
[00:01] <crazytalk_> sap, i'd be very shocked if you didn't find a fix, i am a noob with alot to learn, but so far these linux guys seem to have thought of everything to match what windows does, or do it better
[00:01] <invertedtwisted> nickrud, just enabling through the restricted drivers thing always resulted in ubuntu not starting properly and having to start in safe graphics mode.
[00:01] <Pelo> Daisuke_Ido, I actualy meant getting rid of ubuntu-desktop
[00:02] <Falling-Inferno> Pelo how would i go about reinstalling firefox flash plugins or actually unistalling them?
[00:02] <crazytalk_> unop__, no but there are single files not even in dirs in /home/olderuser, but there are no files like this in /home/newuser
[00:02] <Daisuke_Ido> which could still cause problems
[00:02] <Orbixx|Mob> Guys. F6 doesn't work when booting from the hard disk.
[00:02] <Fishscene> Falling-Inferno, wouldn't you unisntall/reinstall using the package manager?
[00:02] <Pelo> Falling-Inferno, open synaptic,  in the admin menu , search for flashplugin-nonfree
[00:02] <nickrud> invertedtwisted put a copy of your current /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[00:02] <Orbixx|Mob> It just says "Loading" then  blank.
[00:02] <crazytalk_> unop__, it's also missing the dirs and in fact i can't see one thing it has copied, i'm viewing from inside the gui, perhaps a restart is required?
[00:03] <Falling-Inferno> But it happened this way i think is because i downloaded the .swf player plugin as well as the Adobe Flash plugin.
[00:03] <nickrud> Orbixx|Mob when you see grub loading during boot up, hit escape to see boot menu (if you don't already) then select your regular boot, and hit e
[00:03] <sap> crazytalk_, i dont mean to ignite a debate here ..but when i started usin linux some months ago.. i also had a similar view.. Now having used it for variety of needs , I feel that there are some things that linux still cant match with windows.
[00:03] <Pelo> Falling-Inferno, reinstalling from synaptic will probably take care of it
[00:03] <unop__> crazytalk_, try it again .. this time do this..    cp -avR /src /dest
[00:03] <_tpp_> I've found that the EDID information from my monitor is screwed up, and I need to disable the driver using it. I can see how to do this for nvidia drivers but how can I do it for the (newer) intel driver?
[00:04] <crazytalk_> unop__, aye aye, ty
[00:04] <Orbixx|Mob> Yeah. I try putting the parameters in there. But it hangs at a blinking cursor.
[00:04] <Orbixx|Mob> Syntax error, my side?
[00:04]  * Pelo looks at sap and thinks of the word traitor 
[00:04] <Invisionfree> unop_: I've done sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt and sudo chroot /mnt, now what do I need to do?
[00:04] <dsmith_> whats the best methods to increase ext3 perfomrance?
[00:05] <unop__> Invisionfree,  passwd -u <username>
[00:05]  * sap tells Pelo that he's not a traitor , rather a realistic person 
[00:05] <Falling-Inferno> Pelo it wasn't installed.
[00:05] <unop__> InspectorCluseau, passwd -l root
[00:05] <Invisionfree> unop_: I did that.
[00:05] <dsmith_> is journal data writeback a safe option?
[00:05]  * nickrud laughs at Pelo's chauvinism
[00:05] <crazytalk_> unop__: before i key in that command, i just noticed the two dir match exactly in file size...
[00:05] <Invisionfree> unop_: I still couldn't log in, how do I change the password for <username>
[00:05] <unop__> crazytalk_, this might be better.   rsync -av /src/  /dest/
[00:05] <Pelo> Falling-Inferno, you probably installed from the adobe site package, the package in the repos should be made specificaly for ubuntu
[00:05] <invertedtwisted> nickrud, I think http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63365/ should show you it, if I did it right. Thanks very much, but I have to go, if you could post any wisdom on the thread that would be brilliant. Thanks so much.
[00:05] <Orbixx|Mob> Nickrud, scroll up?
[00:06] <crazytalk_> unop__: *nods*
[00:06]  * CorbinFox enjoys using the /me function in IRC.  also, i have yet to find a daily use need for windows that i can't do just as well in linux
[00:06] <nickrud> Orbixx|Mob you should be removing parameters,  quiet splash not adding any
[00:06] <Orbixx|Mob> That too.
[00:06] <Orbixx|Mob> It still hangs.
[00:06] <pen> is there a script or app to convert encoding?
[00:06] <unop__> Invisionfree, are you sure you are issuing 'passwd -u <user>' within the chroot, because if you aren't then the changes aren't going to be permanent
[00:07] <teddy> i install some web php applications like webcalendar or any php web program..I expected to see it in /var/www/localhost..but they get installed in /usr/share  . do i have to manually make a symbolic link for every program i install?
[00:07] <Pelo> pen, what kind of encoding ?
[00:07] <unop__> Invisionfree, to test whether you are indeed in the chroot.  grep -in <username>  /etc/passwd
[00:07] <Invisionfree> unop_: root@ubuntu:/# passwd -u lee
[00:07] <Invisionfree> Password changed.

[00:10] <Pelo> pen, I don'T know of one,  try doing a search in synaptic, in the admin menu
[00:10] <orbixx-livecd> It still hung at a blinking cursor.
[00:10] <nickrud> inverted, where'd you go!!
[00:10] <orbixx-livecd> There was only a line with "splash" on it.
[00:10] <pen> Pelo: ok
[00:10] <orbixx-livecd> No "quiet".

[00:11] <Pelo> Falling-Inferno, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[00:11] <CorbinFox> does anyone in here have experience using a Wacom Cintiq in Ubuntu?
[00:12] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd I'm parrotting what I've seen other people do with those, never owned one.    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , choose vesa as the driver and a reasonable res that won't stress your monitor
[00:12] <crazytalk_> unop__, it has copied the whole olduser dir, including the dir itself, into olduser

[00:13] <orbixx-livecd> I get no login screen sound.
[00:13] <Invisionfree> unop__: Did you see that?
[00:13] <unop__> Invisionfree, do this. reset root   passwd -l root   and then log on as lee   sudo -u lee   then try using some command with sudo. something like    sudo sh -c "echo test"
[00:13] <orbixx-livecd> Keyboard action at a login screen does nothing.

[00:13] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd booting and getting the gui login are not the same, does clt-alt-f2 get you a login?
[00:13] <crazytalk_> unop__, it has copied the whole olduser dir, including the dir itself, into newuser (edited this line)
[00:13] <Pelo> Traveler8, linux driver ? unpack the archive and check for a readme or install file in it
[00:13] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: No.
[00:13] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd or alt-f2.
[00:14] <Invisionfree> unop__: sudo -u lee didn't work, it gives me the usage: stuff
[00:14] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: My USB devices get activated.
[00:14] <crazytalk_> unop__, no because it has placed the actual dir olduser, inside newsuer. i want olduser to *become newuser
[00:14] <Flannel> Invisionfree: it's sudo -u lee [command[
[00:14] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd when you boot regularly, do you get any output at all on the screen?

[00:15] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: Ummm.
[00:15] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd what first bit??
[00:15] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: Text at the bottom saying booting.
[00:15] <orbixx-livecd> Then at the top
[00:15] <orbixx-livecd> Saying loading.
[00:15] <orbixx-livecd> Then blank.

[00:15] <LadyNikon> anyone using gdesklets and can help me configuring a launcher bar to accept lowered applications like gnomebar?
[00:16] <Invisionfree> unop__: I'm logged in as lee now
[00:16] <Pelo> LadyNikon, isn'T the gnomebar also a launcher ?
[00:16] <LadyNikon> Pelo: i dont like the gnomebar
[00:16] <LadyNikon> and it only uses 5 apps
[00:16] <teddy> i install some web php applications like webcalendar or any php web program..I expected to see it in /var/www/localhost..but they get installed in /usr/share  . do i have to manually make a symbolic link for every program i install?
[00:16] <Invisionfree> unop__: sudo sh -c "echo test" and typing in my password didn't work, it says Sorry, try again.
[00:16] <unop__> crazytalk_, i'm not sure what you have done there .. but why don't you just backup newuser   mv  newuser newuser.bak   and then    cp -avR  olduser  newuser
[00:16] <LadyNikon> Pelo: i also deleted my bottom bar and cant get it back heh.  So i would like to have something..
[00:17] <orbixx-livecd> Whoops.
[00:17] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: It's the same case when booting from the live cd with the default boot parameters.
[00:17] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd in the livecd, mount the hard drive and edit <mountpoint>/boot/grub/menu.lst . Look for the line beginning with kernel and having the word splash in it, remove splash and quiet. You should get a ton of text.
[00:17] <Traveler> sorry I dont know what happend
[00:17] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd on the next boot
[00:17] <flaco> hey all... I'm using compiz fusion... in settings of the effects... they use the <super> key... but... I don't have that key.... how can I set the Fn (laptop key) to replace the super key?
[00:17] <LadyNikon> Pelo: i want a more osx look
[00:17] <unop__> Invisionfree, i'm not really sure what is going on there -- are you absolutely positive that you changed lee's password with passwd
[00:17] <prince_jammys> wh4rt0N1-
[00:17] <acomaco> My Media player extension does not have a GUI, i can't higher or lower the volyme..
[00:17] <Pelo> LadyNikon,  if you want to get the botom pannel back that is easy ,  right click on the top panel select "new panel"   then drag it to the bottom , you can add applets to it by right clicking on it and selecting "add to panel"
[00:17] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: Excuse my inexperience.
[00:17] <unop__> Invisionfree, you could try passwd (as lee) again
[00:18] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: But how does one mount a volume?
[00:18] <Pelo> LadyNikon, try avant-window-navigator
[00:18] <LadyNikon> Pelo: i did that.. but it didnt accept the lowered apps
[00:18] <LadyNikon> so they just disappeared.
[00:18] <Invisionfree> Uh oh unop__, "passwd: Module is unknown" "passwd: password unchanged"
[00:18] <LadyNikon> flaco: double click on that effect
[00:18] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: Nevermind, it automatically mounted in the Live CD.
[00:18]  * orbixx-livecd edits.
[00:18] <Pelo> LadyNikon,  what is it that you call "lowered apps"
[00:18] <crazytalk_> unop__, can i skip the backup of newuser, there's nothing in newuser home dir, i just reinstalled ubuntu
[00:18] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd what partition did you install linux to? once you know that, you would do    sudo mount /dev/<partition> /mnt  , then you'll see it at /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:18] <LadyNikon> Pelo: when you lower an app.
[00:18] <Traveler> so with the note pad file Ican write my own driver if I copy and paste it into ubuntu
[00:19] <flaco> LadyNikon: and... ?
[00:19] <LadyNikon> Pelo: minimize a window
[00:19] <mneptok> LadyNikon: "minimize?"
[00:19] <Pelo> LadyNikon,  you I think you mean minimized and you need to add the "window list" to the bar to get that
[00:19] <Flannel> Invisionfree: Are you trying to change the password of the user?
[00:19] <LadyNikon> Pelo: couldnt think of the stupid word to save my life
[00:19] <Invisionfree> Yes flannel.
[00:19] <Flannel> Invisionfree: sudo passwd username
[00:19] <colR> hi

[00:20] <LadyNikon> flaco: then doublt click on that key to change it
[00:20] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: Right. Edited - wish me luck.
[00:20] <FotoPhocus> Can anyone help? :-/
[00:20] <bbyever> !justask | aiaidevil
[00:20] <ubotu> aiaidevil: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:20] <Pelo> LadyNikon, as far as I know the launcher bar is just a launcher bar,  it'sdoes not display open apps
[00:20] <Flannel> Invisionfree: then you wouldn't be able to do the previous sudo either.  Reboot into recovery console (at GRUB menu) and you can do it.  Simply 'passwd user'

[00:21] <Invisionfree> unop__: Nevermind, got "exit"

[00:22] <Dartrunner> Trying to use VMWare Server 2.0 and a release note says "On Ubuntu, you must enable the root account by specifying a root password in order to use VMware Server." How is this done?

[00:22] <unop__> Flannel, he's on a live CD
[00:22] <Pelo> FotoPhocus, open a terminal  type alsamixer and put all the sliders up
[00:23] <Fishscene> aiaidevil, it means you probably don't have the proper driver being used. An install will allow you to choose and install the proper driver
[00:23] <unop__> Invisionfree, see this - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/115700-passwd-module-unknown.html
[00:23] <colR> anyone?
[00:23] <aiaidevil> Ok, so how do I check the right driver for my PC?
[00:23] <Pelo> colR, anyone what ?
[00:23] <Invisionfree> unop__: I think the problem is I don't have all the PAM modules .. :x
[00:23] <Pelo> aiaidevil, more details

[00:24] <neclimdul> i've been playing with the beta and the other day something broke.
[00:24] <unop__> Invisionfree, or you have the PAM modules but they aren't configured right
[00:24] <FotoPhocus> Pelo: Didn't seem to make a difference.  I have my speakers cranked, and can barely hear anything still
[00:24] <neclimdul> now it keeps telling me to "fix the broken packages" before the update program can run
[00:24] <LadyNikon> aiaidevil: which card?
[00:24] <Orbixx|Mob> nickrud: It worked. However, my login session ends instantly after  in.
[00:24] <Invisionfree> unop__: If there was a script I used that worked fine on Debian Etch, should they work fine on Ubuntu server?
[00:24] <unop__> Invisionfree, see what the guy says about the /etc/pam,d/passwd file - make sure yours tallies up somewhat

[00:25] <Pelo> FotoPhocus, check the plug , sounds silly but if it is not all the way in ....
[00:25] <FotoPhocus> Pelo:  Yup, I did check that
[00:25] <nickrud> Orbixx|Mob this is where you need to get the nvidia driver from the nvidia web site. You can get to this point after you've gotten the file and install it
[00:25] <unop__> Invisionfree, there is no guarantee that the script will work - there is no 100% compatibility with debian executables on ubuntu
[00:25] <Itaku> where can i get more screen savers?
[00:25] <Pelo> FotoPhocus, tried different audio /video files I assume ?
[00:25] <colR> Pelo: thanks, tried the forums. i'll wait for hh i guess
[00:26] <skarface> Itaku: gnome-look.org
[00:26] <FotoPhocus> Pelo:  Yup, have tried audio and video from my desktop, as well as stuff on the web
[00:26] <Dartrunner> Trying to use VMWare Server 2.0 and a release note says "On Ubuntu, you must enable the root account by specifying a root password in order to use VMware Server." How is this done?
[00:26] <Pelo> FotoPhocus, from scratch then
[00:26] <unop__> Invisionfree, mine just says - @include common-password
[00:26] <Invisionfree> unop__: My /etc/pam.d/passwd file just says @Inclue common-passworld, is that bad?
[00:26] <Orbixx|Mob> Ok.
[00:26] <Pelo> !sound > FotoPhocus check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[00:26] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, use "sudo"
[00:26] <v3trae> So i'm having trouble with my sound card. The only program it will work in is Amarok. I've gone through some different sites with how to configure my card directly and i'm having no luck, i'm getting very confused on where to even go from here. I'm using a Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! external USB sound card. Any ideas would be wonderful.
[00:27] <dman92> Dartrunner: yeah, you don't need to enable the root account.
[00:27] <aiaidevil> Your page doesn't work
[00:27] <Pelo> FotoPhocus,  you are aware that in alsamixer there are a lot more sliders then the first 6 you seen in the original screen ?  keep arrowing to the right ,  there are about 15-20
[00:27] <DarkJustice> Can anyone tell me what I might need to d/l to get Totem to play a dvd. I have a movie I purchased that works great in Winblows, but when I try to play it in Totem it says it can't read from the source
[00:27] <Dartrunner> I have tried using it but it won't let me log in on the web interface
[00:27] <CorbinFox> does anyone in here have experience using a Wacom Cintiq in Ubuntu?  Kinda an expensive/rare thing to ask about, but still, over a 1000 people i may get lucky
[00:27] <Pelo> aiaidevil, start by checking in the system > admin Menu , in restricted drivers
[00:27] <Fishscene> DarkJustice, you need to install the "ugly" Media packages
[00:27] <Fishscene> I think that's the proper term
[00:28] <FotoPhocus> Pelo: Yup, I bumped em all up to see if it would make a difference.  Maybe I'll wait and do a fresh install of HH when it comes out, and see if it still persists
[00:28] <kriel> Is there a way to reset or refresh my gnome session without closing everything, then logging out and back in?
[00:28] <aiaidevil> oh, your page works, sorry I've mispelled
[00:28] <bastid_raZor> !dvd | DarkJustice

[00:28] <neclimdul> nm, just found the "fix broken packages" option
[00:28] <Pelo> CorbinFox, ask the actual question , maybe someone can answer
[00:28] <dman92> CorbinFox: well, i use my tablet pc w/ built in wacom just fine. uncomment the three lines ibn xorg.conf to get it to work
[00:28] <crazytalk_> unop__: after i did the cp -avR olduser newuser my terminal has stopped outputting text and i get the line (arg: 3) but no command prompt
[00:28] <CorbinFox> Well, i am asking more for just general experiences, not a particular issue with it.  I suppose not really a support question tho...
[00:29] <colR> i had trouble with my sound card, but it seemed to sort itself out when i activated the asla utils in system>administration>services. if anyone's interested :)
[00:29] <DefineKThyne> Hey there, I'm in an Ubuntu live CD session and trying to resize my hard disk partitions so I can dual part, but GParted can't find my hard disk. Any ideas?
[00:29] <Itaku> when i install a downloaded theme how do i install it?
[00:29] <Fishscene> Can the GUI be restarted with the command "sudo xserver restart"?
[00:29]  * unop__ is not having a good night tonight
[00:29] <dman92> CorbinFox: well, just thought i would throw in my experience w/ wacom
[00:29] <Pelo> DefineKThyne,  when you say can'T find, do you mean it takes a long time to scan or can'T find at all ?  cause if it takes a while that happens
[00:29] <dman92> Fishscene: ctr-alt-bksp
[00:29] <Fishscene> ah ok
[00:29] <basso> wacom..
[00:30]  * colR pats unop__ on the shoulder
[00:30] <FotoPhocus> colR: after you enabled it, where did you have to go to mess with the new settings?
[00:30] <Pelo> Fishscene, ctrl alt backspace
[00:30] <Itaku> when i install a downloaded theme how do i install it?
[00:30] <SaEeDIRHA> hello
[00:30] <dman92> Itaku: drag it into the theme selector
[00:30] <crazytalk_> unop___, also now i have the dir /home/newuser, with the dirs newuser and olduser inside it :(
[00:30] <SaEeDIRHA> how can i make my font bigger size in ubuntu bash ?
[00:30] <Fishscene> Pelo: Thanks
[00:30] <Pelo> Itaku,  open the theme manager windows and drag drop the tar.gz file in it
[00:30] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, How do you use sudo in the web interface to login?
[00:30] <colR> FP: just rebooted and no worries since. fingers crossed... it was only yesterday
[00:30] <Elevator_Hazard> Itaku use the System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[00:30] <dman92> SaEeDIRHA: right click, edit current profile, there are font options
[00:31] <SaEeDIRHA> no
[00:31] <FotoPhocus> colR: Ah okay, had to reboot to see the chagne?
[00:31] <SaEeDIRHA> i want it in commaand line
[00:31] <unop__> Invisionfree, it beats me really -- i can;t find anything useful on the net and i cant think of anything else that might be wrong..  you could try these two commands and see if they work - it takes about half-an-hour to complete tho --  sudo aptitude install $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30); sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[00:31] <Pelo> SaEeDIRHA, check in edit , curent profile
[00:31] <SaEeDIRHA> cuz i have no graphical access
[00:31] <colR> yup, services are run at boot
[00:31] <Pelo> DefineKThyne, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[00:31] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, not sure.. I might have misread something
[00:31] <Itaku> it says the file format is invalid
[00:31] <FotoPhocus> k, brb then
[00:31] <SaEeDIRHA> i SSHed to mu unbuntu
[00:31] <DefineKThyne> Pelo:like i open up GParted and  it says "no devices detected"
[00:31] <Itaku> Pelo: it says the file format is invalid
[00:31] <Pelo> DefineKThyne, hmm,   open a terminal window and type blkid
[00:31] <unop__> crazytalk_, i;m not convinced you ran the command as i asked you to .. newuser was not supposed to exit, it was supposed to be renamed to newuser.bak
[00:32] <Elevator_Hazard> I want to install GAG, I think I can figure out how to install it but I need to have Grub installed somewhere to boot linux... Where do I install grub to if the boot partition of this harddrive (external by the way) will be used by GAG?
[00:32] <unop__> s/exit/exist/
[00:32] <v3trae> So i'm having trouble with my sound card. The only program it will work in is Amarok. I've gone through some different sites with how to configure my card directly and i'm having no luck, i'm getting very confused on where to even go from here. I'm using a Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! external USB sound card. When i try to run alsamixer i get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No Such Device. I am extremely baffle
[00:32] <dman92> SaEeDIRHA: the font size is in the terminal you are sshing from, not the destination
[00:32] <crazytalk_> unop___, i have been running all the exact commands you asked me
[00:32] <Pelo> Itaku, it is a desktop theme or a gdm theme or something else ?
[00:32] <DefineKThyne> Pelo: it does nothing
[00:32] <SaEeDIRHA> dman29: so how can i change it ?
[00:32] <Dartrunner> Fishscene,  Trying to use VMWare Server 2.0 and a release note says "On Ubuntu, you must enable the root account by specifying a root password in order to use VMware Server." How is this done?
[00:33] <SaEeDIRHA> i have seen in a video tutorial tha it was possible with "usetfont" command
[00:33] <Pelo> Itaku, sometimes the theme maker repack them to include instrutions and stuff, try unpacking it once,  (right click , extract here ) in the folder see if there is another tar.gz file drag drop that one
[00:33] <SaEeDIRHA> but i cannot find in ubuntu
[00:33] <Level52> Hi. I tried moving partitions around by taring/untaring the contents. Now the kernel seems to boot ok but then it says "mount: Mounting /dev/sda5 on /root failed: no such device". Can anyone help me solve this problem?
[00:33] <Pelo> DefineKThyne, hmm what kind of hdd ?
[00:33] <unop__> crazytalk_, make sure newuser is backed up..  mv newuser  newuser.bak   and then check if it really exists .. once you have done that ..   cp -avR olduser newuser
[00:33] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, This is the 2.0 Beta not the 1.5 release version
[00:33] <unop__> crazytalk_, remember, newuser should not exist prior to the cp command
[00:33] <crazytalk_> i told you i don't need to backup, i just installed ubuntu, there is no data in newuser
[00:33] <Fishscene> Dartrunner. I think I get it. You are trying to install VMware server?
[00:34] <squeakypants> hey peoples
[00:34] <DefineKThyne> Pelo: uhmm...i dunno. I haven't really looked
[00:34] <crazytalk_> newuser = crazytalk
[00:34] <Pelo> Level52, copy the content of /home to another partititon and clean install
[00:34] <SaEeDIRHA> anyone got an idea?
[00:34] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, this might be more suited for  #VMware. However, have you tried running the installer using the sudo command?
[00:34] <squeakypants> i put an nvidia card in my AGP slot
[00:34] <Pelo> DefineKThyne, I know some sata drives have issues but I don'T have anymore info
[00:34] <Level52> Pelo: that's what I tought. /home is pretty much empty but I'd like to know how to repair this ;)
[00:34] <squeakypants> is there a way to dual monitor using both the nvidia card and intel extreme graphics (integrated)
[00:35] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, No, it is installed, I used sudo for that, now I am trying to log into the VMware server
[00:35] <DefineKThyne> pelo: it's IDE and master/slave pin selector thingy would mess with that
[00:35] <Elevator_Hazard> I want to install GAG, while on ubuntu,  I think I can figure out how to install it but I need to have Grub installed somewhere to boot linux... Where do I install grub to if the boot partition of this harddrive (external by the way) will be used by GAG?
[00:35] <Dr_willis> squeakypants,  i belive its doable.. but may take some work.
[00:35] <Level52> I have quite a bit of Linux experience from Gentoo but this puzzles me
[00:35] <dman92> Dartrunner: why not just sudo apt-get install vmware-server?
[00:35] <squeakypants> dr_willis: what kind of work?:)
[00:35] <unop__> Level52, is this a fatal error or just a warning?
[00:35] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, are you using your username and password that you used to install the server?
[00:35] <Dr_willis> squeakypants,  manually writing parts of the xorg.conf once you figyure out what you need.
[00:35] <Pelo> Level52, well, from what little I have seen,  your settings files probably refer to partitons that no longer exist ,  like /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/fstab , and so on
[00:35] <orbixx-livecd> Command to compress to .tar.gz?
[00:35] <Level52> unop__: Well, it stops booting later because root is not mounted, I think
[00:36] <dman92> how do i join strings in bash?
[00:36] <Dr_willis> orbixx-livecd,  a .gz is compressed..
[00:36] <orbixx-livecd> I know.
[00:36] <jrib> dman92: concatenation
[00:36] <Level52> menu.lst and fstab are adjusted. The partition that it tries to mount is the correct one and does exist
[00:36] <nickrud> orbixx-livecd tar cf storage.tar.gz /path/to/dir/to/tar
[00:36] <Pelo> dman92, &&
[00:36] <orbixx-livecd> Thanks nickrud.
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dman92, you mean as in >> append
[00:36] <FotoPhocus> colR: It's marginally better.  It's still extremely quiet though, with everything maxed
[00:36] <squeakypants> dr_willis: bah, i hate modifying xorg.conf lol
[00:36] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, I only have one user on here, so yes,   your command will just install the 1.5 release version of VMware
[00:36] <Dr_willis> dman92,  the advanced bash scripting guide - has examples and details on string opperations.
[00:37] <unop__> dman92, var1="foo"; var2="bar";  var3="$var1$var2"
[00:37] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, I am trying to use the 2.0 beta version
[00:37] <squeakypants> dr_willis: the problem is that if i use the nv drivers, when i try dual monitoring it crashes
[00:37] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, I have no idea then. =\ Go ahead and poke the brains of the VMware Guru's :)
[00:37] <DefineKThyne> pelo: i'm gonna go see what my hard disk pin selector is at and then reboot brb
[00:37] <Pelo> Level52, check the spelling in fstab
[00:37] <Dr_willis> squeakypants, I only use nvidia cards with 2 video outs anyway.. been ages sinve ive used 2 actiual video cards.
[00:37] <dman92> Dr_willis: yeah, confusing tho =/ got it!
[00:37] <dman92> unop__: thx
[00:37] <gokorn> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop  /// i did this can someting goes wrong? :P
[00:37] <Mr_Bad_News> does vmware work on gutsy ?
[00:37] <unop__> Level52, well, what i would do is chroot into the system and verify the integrity of the /etc/fstab file
[00:38] <Dr_willis> dman92,  its worth reading,, then reading again a week later... then again 2 weeks later.. :)
[00:38] <Pelo> Mr_Bad_News, yes it does, it's also in the repos
[00:38] <Dartrunner> Fishscene, Can you just tell me how to activate the root account?
[00:38] <Mr_Bad_News> i've been reading around and i keep finding posts that say vmware no longer works on gutsy
[00:38] <noob13> gokorn: something can always go wrong. gl.
[00:38] <Dr_willis> dman92,  I even have a set of bookmarks for 'docs' :) like that in my browser.
[00:38] <colR> FotoPhocus: no offence, but i've done it myself: is the hardware volume control turned down low?
[00:38] <gokorn> lol that i know
[00:38] <squeakypants> mmm
[00:38] <nickrud> Dartrunner if vmware makes a point of telling you to set up a root password, you could try sudo -i  . That gets you the eqiv to a root terminal. If it fails, sudo passwdm
[00:38] <dman92> Dr_willis: tried several times now =/ not enough time. mostly i just learn by doing. use things when i need them
[00:38] <Pelo> Mr_Bad_News, vmware server wroks, there is no longer a vmware player
[00:38] <FotoPhocus> colR: none taken.  the volume knob is cranked
[00:38] <v3trae> Having insane problems with getting my external soundcard to work. If anyone has time let me know i can give you more information
[00:38] <nickrud> Dartrunner erm, sudo passwd
[00:38] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, I'm not sure how to. It's my understanding that the root account doesn't need to be activated in Ubuntu and thus, is turned off by default.
[00:39] <Dr_willis> dman92,  print stuff out..keep it in the 'reading room' eats lots of fiber.. :) read while you wait.. :)
[00:39] <Mr_Bad_News> i just need to get a windows machine running so i can use rosetta stone
[00:39] <noob13> gokorn: which version are u on now?
[00:39] <Mr_Bad_News> unless there's a better way
[00:39] <unop__> Level52, make sure /dev/hda5 actually exists and has the right filesystem as per /etc/fstab
[00:39] <Mr_Bad_News> wine doesnt really work that well
[00:39] <Fishscene> nickrud, He is trying to log into a web-interface and it's telling him that he can only log in as the "root" user
[00:39] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  theres always virtualbox
[00:39] <Level52> Pelo, unop__: The error ist right after the timed kernel output. Are those scripts in the initrd? (I've never used an initrd before)
[00:39] <Mr_Bad_News> virtualbox?
[00:39] <vbabiy-laptop> Hey has any one been able to get the dell xps m1530 mic to work
[00:39] <gokorn> 7.10
[00:39] <Mr_Bad_News> which is better virtualbox or vmware
[00:39] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  yes. :)  yet another virtual machine program. similer to vmware. You could ask in #ubuntu+1 if vmware is working
[00:39] <dman92> Dr_willis: waste of paper though
[00:40] <Level52> unop__: I will... booting from CD now
[00:40] <Pelo> Level52, that'S over my head at this point ,  might be in /etc/init.d or the /etc/rc***
[00:40] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  depends on your needs. Both are getting better all the time.
[00:40] <nickrud> Fishscene I can believe that, I've seen others like that. unpatched webmin, cupsys-admin , swat , things like that
[00:40] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  given that its free... theres no reason to not try it out.
[00:40] <Mr_Bad_News> i just need to be able to run rosetta stone Dr_willis
[00:40] <Mr_Bad_News> thats it
[00:40] <Ldub> hello every one i'm a noob just looking for help
[00:40] <Dr_willis> !vbox | Mr_Bad_News
[00:40] <ubotu> Mr_Bad_News: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[00:40] <ZPertee> I am wanting to use Asterisk on ubuntu with IMAP support.  It needs cclient to work correctly.  Asterisk has several cclient packages any idea which one I need?
[00:40] <dman92> Ldub: just ask. no intro needed
[00:40] <Pelo> Ldub, state your issue and be patient
[00:40] <noob13> Ldub: what appears to be the problem?
[00:40] <unop__> Level52, well, /root does not look like a directory that is critical to the boot process .. things in /boot and / are .. but not /root AFAIK .. so i am guessing your system is failing when the filesystems are being mounted
[00:40] <Fishscene> Dartrunner, VMware may have a workaround for this on their website. See known issues for VMware Server 2 Beta (I can't dig up the website at the moment)
[00:40] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  'rosetta stone' means nothing to me. :)
[00:41] <Mr_Bad_News> well im on a laptop Dr_willis  so disk usage is a factor  since i only have 30gigs left
[00:41] <Dr_willis> Fishscene,  they got the beta released now? Cool.
[00:41] <unop__> Level52, although i suspect there may be more to this than just this mount problem
[00:41] <Mr_Bad_News> rosetta stone is a language course
[00:41] <dman92> Dr_willis: rosetta stone i believe is language software
[00:41] <colR> FotoPhocus: had to check. there's a possible soln @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88332
[00:41] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  my linux laptop only has 30gb total of hd space.
[00:41] <noob13> gokorn: and you'd like to go hardy? 8.04?
[00:41] <Pelo> Dr_willis,  a slab of stone with hieroglyph , greek and assyrian writings found by a french archeologist called Roestte in the 19 th century
[00:41] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  i have a 10gb or so windows install on it.
[00:41] <Fishscene> Dr_willis, the Server 2 Beta has been out for a while >.> As well as some other exciting betas (Thinstall). Go check out their beta page. :D
[00:41] <dman92> Pelo: lol. true, but i doubt what he meant =P
[00:42] <nickrud> Fishscene Dartrunner I'm a sudo fanatic (prior to ubuntu's existence even) so I don't tell how to set root password lightly. If vmware hasn't patched it's web admin to use sudo Dartrunner will need an activated root account
[00:42] <gokorn> will it go to 8.4? :/ that i didnt wanted
[00:42] <gokorn> :D
[00:42] <Pelo> dman92, I'm must showing off
[00:42] <Dr_willis> Fishscene,  cools. Been reading some info on it. but havent tried it yet. Havbent hadd the need lately.
[00:42] <noob13> gokorn: once the stable is released, it shouldn't be hard.
[00:42] <FotoPhocus> colR: I'll give that a read, thanks for the help
[00:42] <dman92> Pelo: thats what the '=P' was for
[00:42] <Level52> unop__: Oh I see... maybe I confused "/" with "/root"... would be funny :)
[00:42] <Mr_Bad_News> alright Dr_willis i'll give it a try
[00:42] <SaEeDIRHA> what is shortcut key to full screen terminal like in windows is Altt+Enter ?
[00:42] <nullbnx> ok so im trying to setup my ubuntu server to run as a wap... iv gotten everything setup per the guide, but i can't access the internet when im connected to it... if i ping a website, dns works and i get the ip address, but no return
[00:42] <noob13> gokorn: what are u trying to do?
[00:42] <nullbnx> ip tables maybe bad?
[00:42] <colR> FotoPhocus: np, i'm new to all this myself. i'll do some research though. pm me and let me know how you get on
[00:42] <gokorn> http://compiz.org/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
[00:43] <Ldub> the problem is that im trying to install ubuntu on my 256 box and its freezing up i researched it on the forums but no issues is the same
[00:43] <gokorn> step by step
[00:43] <unop__> Level52, well, the dynamics change if it was indeed / and not /root
[00:43] <SaEeDIRHA> ?
[00:43] <dman92> nickrud: well, to set up root there is a tutorial on the ubuntu forums, but it is not recommended for obvious reasons
[00:43] <Level52> unop__: sure do. I give it 15 more minutes, then I go to sleep and reinstall tomorrow
[00:43] <nickrud> dman92 yup. I used to have one so I could use localhost:631 to admin cups, but it's patched now in ubuntu
[00:44] <SaEeDIRHA> anyone got an idea?
[00:44] <Level52> unop__: funny thing is I moved the partitions around because I suspected that they might be the reason the WinXP installation crashes (they are not)
[00:44] <SaEeDIRHA> i want to full screen my terminal when i am in bash
[00:44] <Pelo> SaEeDIRHA, F11
[00:44] <dman92> nickrud: i had one for some reason before. no more
[00:44] <noob13> gokorn: that how-to might be a bit outdated. i suggest u try using Synaptic Package Manager to install compiz-fusion...
[00:44] <nickrud> dman92 not for the last two releases myself, anyway
[00:45] <SaEeDIRHA> Pelo: doesnt work :-(
[00:45] <Ldub> yo noob it's freezing on my 256 box any answers
[00:45] <nickrud> SaEeDIRHA on the gnome-terminal menu, view->full screen
[00:45] <Pelo> SaEeDIRHA, we must be talking about somenthig different
[00:45] <nullbnx> any ideas?
[00:45] <gokorn> ok i will try with that. but this is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.... is doing about 10 m now. can i ctrl +c it ;:D
[00:45] <gokorn> or wait?
[00:45] <dman92> Ldub: 256 box? like 256mb ram?
[00:45] <Ldub> yeah
[00:45] <SaEeDIRHA> nickrud: that is why i asked for shortcut key
[00:46] <nullbnx> lol this room has sooo many convos going on at the same time
[00:46] <noob13> Ldub: that isn't too much ram, but it should still work
[00:46] <Fishscene> g2g folks
[00:46] <nickrud> SaEeDIRHA I thought maybe you had disabled the key, so therefore suggested the menu
[00:46] <jrib> SaEeDIRHA: set one in the "keyboard shortcut" preferences for the terminal
[00:46] <w30> SaEeDIRHA, no equivalent exists, however if you hit <ctrl><alt><F1> or <F2>, etc. you cn get another virtual terminal full screen with no X running. To excape the virtual terminal and get back to Xwindows type <ctrl><alt><F7>
[00:46] <Pelo> Ldub, try the  alternate install cd it is less demanding during the install , get it from the website just check the alternate cd box below the downlaod buton
[00:46] <dman92> nullbnx: Ldub: well, with 256 the alternate install may be needed, but it should run okay.
[00:46] <SaEeDIRHA> ok thankx alot guys
[00:47] <Ldub> i'm going to try i appreciate the help
[00:47] <Mr_Bad_News> Dr_willis, how do i run virtualbox
[00:47] <nickrud> SaEeDIRHA you can see what's bound to full screen at gconf-editor /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings
[00:47] <gokorn> should i wait should i go ctrl +c :D
[00:47] <gokorn> ah it is finished
[00:47] <dman92> Ldub: also some machines can't run livecds. my 2gb, 2.0ghz dual-core laptop for instance =/
[00:47] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  i would have to suggest reading the docs at their web page.   Its rather straight forward.
[00:48] <Jakoo> hello everyone, can someone tell if it is possible to make a "ghost" of my ubuntu from this hd to a bigger one?
[00:48] <Ldub> are you serious
[00:48] <Dr_willis> Jakoo,  teres a 'ghost for linux' g4l program :)
[00:48] <noob13> hi!
[00:48] <unop__> Jakoo, you can also use dd
[00:48] <noob13> :)
[00:48] <dman92> Ldub: LiveCD + Ati graphics = :-(
[00:48] <Pelo> !clone > Jakoo
[00:48] <Ldub> dman92:ii installed it on my work computer with the same specs and its begging for more
[00:48] <nullbnx> anyone know how to setup iptables; im attempting to setup a wap and can't ping through
[00:48] <Ldub> ohhh
[00:48] <dman92> Ldub: what specs? my laptop?
[00:49] <NetEcho_> does anyone know of wepcrack for ubuntu?
[00:49] <NetEcho_> or similar app
[00:49] <dman92> NetEcho_: try aircrack-ng?
[00:49] <Jakoo> is this ok then with the grub?
[00:49] <dman92> look online for quides
[00:49] <Pelo> NetEcho_, search for keywords in synaptic,  in the system admin menu
[00:49] <Jakoo> will the second hd start the system with no further actions?
[00:49] <Dartrunner> Fishscene nickrud   Just to let you know, that fixed it, have to log in with root to get it to work  Thanks for the help
[00:49] <Ldub> dman92: oh...no my work laptop with the 2.0 gig dauly
[00:50] <Pelo> Jakoo, not sure , you might need to make some adjustments in grub,  dl the supergrub cd first you can use that to fix it if there is a problem
[00:50] <dman92> Ldub: yeah, 2gb ram + 2.0 ghz core2 seems to satisy ubuntu fine for me. all of 205mb ram used at boot
[00:50] <robinprak> anyone knows if Hercules MK2 DJ Console is supported by any program??
[00:50] <Level52> unop__, Pelo: It actually was a wrong root partition in the grub config. Thanks for your pointers, I really thought that it was correct and got confused looking for other errors. The partitioning scheme is just too complex for me now :)
[00:51] <Jakoo> so maybe it is better to save eveything then reinstall the system isnt it?
[00:51] <crazytalk_> unop__: is there anything wrong with me using the gui to show hidden files in olduser and jsut copying them to new user?
[00:51] <Pelo> Level52, so it is fixed ?
[00:51] <DarkJustice> omg screw this, I'm reinstalling windows, this has to be the most inferior POS operating system around

[00:51] <urthmover> even his head has a beer belly
[00:51] <MrStitch> 'lo everyone
[00:51] <Level52> Pelo: Yeah. Well if by fixed you mean that I moved partitions to a strange order for no reason ;)
[00:51] <Ldub> dman92: that's nice i'm new to linux... i got tired of being a microsoft slave.
[00:52] <jelloman> me too!
[00:52] <Pelo> Jakoo,  you only realy need to save your /home folder,  I recommend you put it on a seperate partitons ,  on your new hdd  make 5-10 gig ext for / , 2xram swap ( max 2gig), and the rest ext3 for your /home ,  copy your /home to it and then install ubuntu on the 10 gig part,   use manual partitionning when you get to that part of thei installer t tell the installer where swap and /home are
[00:52] <MrStitch> If I want to install a new piece of hardware, do I need to contact the manufacturer for linux drivers, or does Ubuntu have some other type of system?
[00:53] <Elevator_Hazard> MrStitch pretty sure it depends on the drivers
[00:53] <dman92> Ldub: 6 months ubuntu only here. xp was crap, and after using linux i'm hooked. can't go back.
[00:53] <Pelo> Level52, I mean fixed grub,  but if you cna boot I will not argue the point
[00:53] <Elevator_Hazard> MrStitch some companies aren't so good with linux drivers
[00:53] <Jakoo> thank you very much!
[00:53] <nickrud> MrStitch the last place you'll get drivers from is the manufacturers, they usually ignore linux. The vast majority of hardware already have drivers in the kernel courtesy of volunteers
[00:54] <Pici> MrStitch: And its entirely possible that theres already support for your hardware built into Ubuntu.
[00:54] <Ldub> dman92: yeah a sub contractor showed me his setup and I was hooked
[00:54] <Pelo> dman92, I tried ubuntu for learning purposes,  to get familiar with it , took me 5 days to boot xp back and that was just to get my email info,  I was hooked as well
[00:54] <MrStitch> nickrud, probably not for this. Is there a way I can find out if something exists for my card?
[00:54] <mike> hello?
[00:54] <dman92> Ldub: i just got interested in it, and the power. then windows got so bad i couldn't use it.
[00:54] <Pelo> !hi | mike
[00:54] <ubotu> mike: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[00:55] <Jeffrey1> I have doubt on the following statement from someone I work with:  Is OSX based on a unix kernel?
[00:55] <Pelo> Jeffrey1, osx is based on BSD
[00:55] <cabrioleur> Used to, at least
[00:55] <Jeffrey1> Based on or is it BSD?
[00:55] <Ldub> dman92: i'm done with microsoft and my mac has dust on it so i'm here trying to learn
[00:55] <Pici> !ot
[00:55] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:55] <mike> could someone help me set up ubuntu as a proxy server?
[00:55] <Pelo> Jeffrey1,  based like ubuntu is based on debian
[00:56] <Jeffrey1> Thanks Pelo
[00:56] <nickrud> MrStitch I'd do a google search for    ubuntu <exact hardware model>  , then fall back on linux <model>
[00:56] <SeaPhor> squid.conf! yikes
[00:56] <nickrud> MrStitch what exactly is it?
[00:56] <donkey7186> i have a question how do i re-install ubuntu?????
[00:56] <Pelo> later folks food needed
[00:57] <Ldub> thanks dman, pelo i'm going to grab a heineken and wait for this download...go mariners
[00:57] <MrStitch> nickrud, it's an Echo Mia audio card, used for multi track recording
[00:57] <urthmover> cool audio card
[00:57] <nickrud> MrStitch and the exact model ?
[00:57] <urthmover> gets decent response
[00:58] <jelloman> hey i have a question, i try to edit a file and it says i cant because im not the owner...except i am the owner?
[00:58] <noob13> donkey7186: format, insert live cd?
[00:58] <nickrud> MrStitch is that the one using an hda-intel chip?
[00:58] <Invisionfree> Someone help me with this
[00:58] <Invisionfree> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:58] <Invisionfree>   libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal: Depends: libsasl2-modules (= 2.1.22.dfsg1-12) but 2.1.22.dfsg1-9ubuntu2 is to be installed
[00:58] <Invisionfree> E: Broken packages
[00:58] <donkey7186> noob13 so all i do is insert live cd and just install it on the partition its on?
[00:58] <FloodBot1> Invisionfree: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:58] <dman92> jelloman: is it a root file? be careful and use sudo.
[00:58] <MrStitch> nickrud, don't think so... Looking right now.
[00:58] <dman92> !sudo > jelloman
[00:59] <icesword> nickrud, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg works for kde too?
[00:59] <noob13> Invisionfree: u'll have to install the dependencies...
[00:59] <noob13> Invisionfree: use aptitude.
[00:59] <nickrud> MrStitch if it's plugged in, lspci  will show all the cards
[00:59] <nickrud> icesword it's for X, therefore for all guis
[00:59] <Invisionfree> noob13: I am ...
[00:59] <dman92> Invisionfree: synaptic has 'fix broken installations' feature i believe. check the menus
[01:00] <Jeffrey1> another question on OSx Vs Linux.  If OSX is BSD based, wouldn't OSx Drivers for a printer work for a distro like FreeBSD?
[01:00] <icesword> nickrud, okkkk,thanks
[01:00] <Invisionfree> dman92: I don't have synaptic
[01:00] <nickrud> hm, Invisionfree are you mixing debian and ubuntu packages there?
[01:00] <Invisionfree> Yeah nickrud, it's a debian script I need to make work on Ubuntu server :x
[01:00] <MrStitch> nickrud, it just says "Echo Mia 24.96 Digital Recording", and on the back it says it has a On-board 24-Bit Motorola DSP.
[01:01] <dman92> Invisionfree: command-line only? synaptic is installed by default System > Administration > Synaptic package manager.
[01:01] <Fa> OSX uses freebsd kernel
[01:01] <nickrud> MrStitch is it plugged in?
[01:01] <SeaPhor> mike: is anyone helping you yet?
[01:01] <Invisionfree> dman92: It's ubuntu server, no GUI ftw.
[01:01] <MrStitch> nickrud, no... I took it out the last time I had to reload winBlows
[01:01] <fish> hello good people of ubuntu!
[01:01] <R3D3Y3> Hello fish.
[01:01] <Jeffrey1> Do FreeBSD device drivers work in Ubuntu
[01:02] <SeaPhor> hello and so long and thanks for all the fish!
[01:02] <Invisionfree> nickrud: Know of anything I can do to make it work (I'm running the following command):
[01:02] <Invisionfree> apt-get install heimdal-clients heimdal-docs heimdal-kcm heimdal-servers libgssapi4-heimdal libpam-heimdal libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules-ldap ldap-utils libnss-ldap libpam-ldap libpam-cracklib libldap2 nscd ssh-krb5 ntpdate ntp
[01:02] <fish> soo... what do i do if my root password is wrong?, meaning I knwo what it SHOULD be and it isnt?
[01:02] <american> how do i find out what verision of fglrx i have?
[01:02] <R3D3Y3> fish use the cd/dvd and boot with that and change it ..
[01:02] <R3D3Y3> chroot
[01:02] <fish> BUT
[01:03] <MrStitch> nickrud, either way, if I want to use this card, I still need to hunt down actual linux-based drivers.... correct?
[01:03] <fish> my root password works when the little root windows pop up like when chnaging the clock settings
[01:03] <nickrud> Invisionfree probably you need to do something like  libsasl2-modules=2.1.22.dfsg1-12 to force the version. Probably run into other issues.
[01:03] <fish> but not when i try to log on as root and not whe i try to use root in terminal
[01:03] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i install windows in virtualbox all i've found is how to install virtual box on my machine
[01:03] <fish> cwazy stuff
[01:03] <R3D3Y3> Can you sudo su - ?
[01:04] <nickrud> MrStitch yup. Didn't find anything in the first pass. You can ask on #alsa, they're the experts on sound
[01:04] <Invisionfree> nickrud: So far that's the only problem I have, and what?
[01:04] <fish> nop[e
[01:04] <Pici> fish: Thats not the root password when you get the password dialog box.
[01:04] <Pici> !sudo | fish
[01:04] <ubotu> fish: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[01:04] <R3D3Y3> What is the error ?
[01:04] <Pici> !root
[01:04] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:04] <MrStitch> nickrud, that channel on this server?
[01:04] <fish> alrighty
[01:04] <fish> how do I log on as root and use su?
[01:05] <R3D3Y3> you can't really log on as root
[01:05] <Pici> fish: Please read the link there.
[01:05] <R3D3Y3> you have to use sudo ..
[01:05] <jrib> fish: read the link
[01:05] <jelloman> is there a place i can go to learn more about commands?
[01:05] <R3D3Y3> sudo gives you root power..
[01:05] <jrib> !cli | jelloman
[01:05] <fish> i need to install a video game and If i dont soon im gonna go through withdrawles
[01:05] <ubotu> jelloman: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[01:05] <Pici> jelloman: What kind of commands?
[01:05] <Invisionfree> E: Version '2.1.22.dfsg1-12' for 'libsasl2-modules' was not found
[01:05] <Invisionfree> nickrud: Uh oh?
[01:05] <pitr256> you can sudo su -
[01:05] <jelloman> cool, thx
[01:05] <pitr256> in order to gain root console
[01:05] <Pici> pitr256: sudo -i is a much better way.
[01:05] <pitr256> I agree
[01:05] <jelloman> all kinds of commands
[01:06] <pitr256> but if you want root, that's the way to get it
[01:06] <R3D3Y3> pici .. why is that better ?
[01:06] <fish> i tried su - and it told me incorrect password
[01:06] <SeaPhor> fish: what vid game if i may ask?
[01:06] <pitr256> you have to 'sudo su -'
[01:06] <fish> Legends
[01:06] <dman92> Invisionfree: ah, server. I have one as well. try man apt-get to see what the applicable parameter is
[01:06] <fish> ok so terminal works
[01:07] <fish> with sudo su -
[01:07] <BhaalWK> Anyone able to tell me if there is a common resource where I can find out why a particular package may not make it into hardy?
[01:07] <fish>  but how do i log on as root?
[01:07] <Level52> I'm on a Notebook. Knoppix 5.3 (with Compiz Fusion) uses about 3 Watts less than kUbuntu 7.10 when idle. Both clock down the CPU. Any idea what's responsible for the difference?
[01:07] <R3D3Y3> fish you can't.
[01:07] <pitr256> you can't login as root
[01:07] <Invisionfree> nickrud, can you fix this?
[01:07] <Invisionfree> E: Version '2.1.22.dfsg1-12' for 'libsasl2-modules' was not found
[01:07] <fish> why is that?
[01:07] <fish> im new to ubuntu
[01:07] <R3D3Y3> Security
[01:07] <pitr256> security
[01:07] <fish> security?!
[01:07] <pitr256> yes
[01:07] <Zelta> you would never want to log in as root
[01:07] <Pici> R3D3Y3: sudo -i does not inherit your users environement variables, which you probably don't want to use when rooting around. Plus its designed for that.
[01:07] <Elevator_Hazard> If I want to install grub on my root partition but not in the boot sector... what do I do?
[01:07] <pitr256> you can't login as root on a Mac either
[01:07] <jrib> fish: you are ignoring the information people have given you
[01:08] <Pici> fish: Have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo at all?
[01:08] <Zelta> a lot of the security issues with Windows have to due with Administrator being the default account
[01:08] <fish> yeas, but I thought this was a conversation?
[01:08] <pitr256> it is
[01:08] <pitr256> and you have a very good question
[01:09] <pitr256> if you really want to login as root, I'd ask why?
[01:09] <fish> i was just pertepuating the conversation because it has some interesting points?
[01:09] <f0rmat> can anyone tell me why when i shutdown or close my screen on my laptop.... well it just failz and shows loads of colours on the screen instead of showing output
[01:09] <R3D3Y3> thanks for the tip Pici...
[01:09] <BhaalWK> Alright, anyone know why multi-gnome-terminal is no longer available in hardy?  (Im hoping it will be back in before the actual release)
[01:09] <fish> just to have the ability, i guess
[01:09] <Zelta> !sudo | fish
[01:09] <ubotu> fish: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[01:09] <R3D3Y3> I'm using chatzilla here and am new to the msg thingy..
[01:09] <nickrud> Invisionfree you would need to have the debian repos enabled. You are getting into a can of worms there. I mean, it's doable, but I am not comfortable doing this without sitting at the machine myself so I'd see all output
[01:09] <Pici> R3D3Y3: Heh, don't worry about it.
[01:09] <R3D3Y3> I'm also on vista... (ducks ... )
[01:09] <nullbnx> so whats everyone think of 8.04? worth the upgrade in a few days?
[01:09] <fish> i mean, in fedora.."the newbie linux" you can log in as root
[01:09] <Pici> BhaalWK: Hardy in #ubuntu+1 please :)
[01:10] <Invisionfree> nickrud: How do I enable the debian repos?
[01:10] <Zelta> fish: If you want a conversation, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:10] <Zelta> This is for Ubuntu support only, please
[01:10] <fish> ok then
[01:10] <Zelta> thanks
[01:10] <BhaalWK> Pici: Sorry, did not know of the channels existence
[01:10] <BhaalWK> Pici: Thanks
[01:10] <Pici> BhaalWK: No need to apologize
[01:10] <nickrud> Invisionfree you would add them to your sources.list. And no offence, but if you're not yet familiar with where/what repos are, you are getting into a freaking huge can of worms
[01:11] <Invisionfree> I understand repos and what they are, where can I find the debian repos?
[01:11] <Pici> Invisionfree: I also suggest not adding debian repos, you can and probably will create a dependency mess by adding them, and we do not support them.
[01:11] <nullbnx> pici: is there a ubuntu server irc room?
[01:11] <Pici> nullbnx: Why #ubuntu-server of course, but we do support that here as well.
[01:11] <nullbnx> pici: thanks =)
[01:12] <Invisionfree> Pici: I'll remove it once I install this one package, promise. :P
[01:12] <Pici> Invisionfree: What package?
[01:12] <Invisionfree> E: Version '2.1.22.dfsg1-12' for 'libsasl2-modules' was not found
[01:13] <Jimmy1> Hey
[01:13] <SeaPhor> can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall and remove ndiswrapper,,, and envy while i'm at it?
[01:13] <Level52> bye
[01:13] <penguin> bah, is it possible to get ubuntu to use windows fonts, not just have them installed?
[01:13] <Invisionfree> Pici:
[01:13] <Invisionfree> E: Version '2.1.22.dfsg1-12' for 'libsasl2-modules' was not found
[01:13] <nickrud> Invisionfree heh. The bug I filed against debian repos in apt is finally fixed
[01:13] <Jimmy1> my screens resolution is very big after enabling the nvidia card how do i change the settings now ?
[01:13] <Invisionfree> That one, sorry.
[01:13] <Invisionfree> Lol nickrud, but if you said when I can get it, I missed it :x
[01:14] <vikram_> does anyone have a computer with an x3100gma?
[01:14] <Pici> Invisionfree: I was just curious.  I'd carefully read what dependencies that wants to pull in if you try to install it.
[01:14] <vikram_> hello?
[01:15] <Pici> penguin: The msttcorefonts package has MS fonts, but it needs to be installed.
[01:15] <doubledew> what function is ndisgtk actually performing?
[01:15] <nickrud> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/post-your-source.list-330913/ Invisionfree . I"m not gonna offer any more assistance on this, I am not going to be even tangentally responsible for the possible breakage
[01:15] <penguin> pici - but how?
[01:16] <Pici> penguin: either by searching for it in synaptic or by typing: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts     in a !terminal
[01:16] <penguin> pici, yes, i realize this, but i want ubuntu to use the fonts, not just have them cached.
[01:17] <Pici> penguin: They will be added to your normal fonts, i.e. you will be able to use them in OOo and other programs.
[01:17] <mountainma1> hey--i can't find a working iso file anywhere for ubuntu 7.10, anyone have any ideas?
[01:17] <penguin> pici - nevermind.
[01:17] <Pici> penguin: Maybe I'm not getting what you're saying.
[01:17] <penguin> pici - you arent.
[01:17] <penguin> i got it, nevermind.
[01:17] <nickrud> Invisionfree I'm away for a while, I'll be interested in your experiences later ;)
[01:18] <fish> Ok, the root thing was a tiny bit annoying but I understand the purpose and so i accept it.>>>>> Question NUMBER 2: Can someone help me figure out why my box freezes when i try to boot with Mt video card installed?
[01:18] <fish> Mt=my
[01:18] <SeaPhor> can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall and remove ndiswrapper,,, and envy while i'm at it?
[01:19] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: sudo aptitude remove --purge ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9
[01:19] <iwarner> i have an NTFS volume mounted and each time I open a .txt file it prompts me to Display - Run etc - how can I stop this
[01:19] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: for envy, you might need to reinstall
[01:20] <MrStitch> Hey, note to anyone that cares for the knowledge: I tried opening an Excel 2007 spreadsheet with my Open office, and it freaked out the whole menu.... and stayed that way until I completely removed OO from the system, and re-installed.
[01:20] <orbixx-livecd> nickrud: You still around?
[01:21] <pukeko> MrStitch: have you managedto repeatthat on another box ?
[01:21] <SeaPhor> Starnestommy: Thank you,, i did try sudo aptitude remove --purge ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 but I'm not convinced is gone
[01:21] <techqbert> does ubuntu 7.10 have an easy way to set up s-video by app (friend needs it) ?  i'm on 8.04 fluxbox
[01:22] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: you might need to reboot just to be sure
[01:22] <fish> anyone know why my box freezes when i try to boot with my video card installed?
[01:22] <doubledew> so i have a question about my wireless adapter (please don't ignore yet) My adapter, belkin usb wireless g used to work fine out of the box with the ubuntu installation.  it all of a sudden stopped being recognized, (a lsusb does not show it is even on the bus) but it is being powered.  The adapter works fine with windows and I've tired used ndisgtk to install the driver with ndiswrapper. ...
[01:22] <doubledew> ...Can anyone point me in a new direction to get this to work again?
[01:22] <cabrioleur> doubledew, check if ndiswrapper is loaded with sudo lsmod
[01:23] <maw> doubledew: anything in /var/log/messages or dmesg?
[01:23] <doubledew> cabrioleur: yes ndiswrapper is loaded
[01:23] <mountainma1> looking for help finding a ubuntu 7.10 iso that isn't corrupt....
[01:23] <cabrioleur> doubledew, when you check it with "ndiswrapper -l", is you card on the list?
[01:23] <cabrioleur> doubledew, or "sudo ndiswrapper -l"
[01:23] <maw> mountainma1: maybe it is your cdrw that is corrupting the isoz ;)
[01:24] <maw> fish: at what point does it lockup?
[01:24] <maw> fish: after post and during gnome loading?
[01:24] <doubledew> cabrioleur: it says the driver "blkwgu" is installed.  The .inf file i installed with ndisgtk is blkwgu.inf
[01:25] <fish> Well, IM not certain because its the Load screen with the progress bar but i can say that it freezes after about 1/6th of the bar
[01:25] <doubledew> maw:  what would i be looking for in dmesg?
[01:25] <maw> fish ok so gnome is starting... did you recently change your screen resolution
[01:26] <fish> nope, allways 1440x900
[01:26] <maw> doubledew: errors of some sort... try "dmesg | less" and look through it
[01:26] <maw> fish: the next time it locks up try "ctrl+backspace" I think that reloads X, might get you passed that point
[01:27] <doubledew> maw: it is filled with messages like this "[  768.029504] usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 58"
[01:27] <dman92> maw: fish: it's ctr-alt-bksp
[01:27] <fish> really? that soon after the bios screen?
[01:27] <maw> fish: also try tapping the "numlock" and "capslock" key to see if the lights go on/off... if nothing happens the system is probably hardlocked
[01:28] <maw> if it is hardlocked... then there is probably a hardware issue
[01:28] <doubledew> maw:  i also found these....   [ 1345.875058] ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[01:28] <doubledew> [ 1346.048614] usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
[01:28] <fish> what parameters should I use to show verbose mode so i can get the erros?
[01:28] <fish> in the grub menu
[01:28] <gin_quaker> can someone help me bridge a network in ubuntu?
[01:29] <maw> doubledew can you paste your dmesg to pastebin.com?
[01:29] <CumCumMania>  who want a french kiss ? :x
[01:30] <maw> fish: I dont know off the top of my head. check grub dox + gnome startup dox
[01:30] <maw> fish: try the cap/numlock trick to see if it is indeed hardlocked
[01:31] <doubledew> maw:  it is now pasted
[01:31] <maw> dman92: I think xfce is ctrl+bksp... possibly where I got it from. Thanks for the correction
[01:31] <maw> doubledew: link please
[01:31] <mountainma1> maw: it's corrupted b4 it's even burned, i've been checking it with md5sum
[01:31] <doubledew> http://pastebin.com/d176d6b5c
[01:31] <c0d3w4rri0r> hi. in a bit of a fix here. I'm trying to install ubuntu using the text based install with manual partition but I'm afraid I'll delete data accidentally when i try to make 2 partitions out of one.
[01:32] <maw> mountainma1: sorry to hear that, have you manually selected different mirrors?
[01:32] <gin_quaker> any ideas anyone?
[01:32] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, make sure you use the the manual partitioning option
[01:32] <maw> gin_quaker: do you have a specific question or do you want a complete walkthrough?
[01:33] <gin_quaker> how do I bridge two ethernet cards in ubuntu?
[01:33] <maw> doubledew: interesting - I haven't seen a dmesg like that before
[01:33] <c0d3w4rri0r> member:identifier:hinhin: am using it but not sure how it works
[01:33] <doubledew> maw: what are they usually like
[01:34] <fish> maw: I am afraid i didnt under stand this: "maw>	fish: I dont know off the top of my head. check grub dox + gnome startup dox" can you elaborate a little for me please?
[01:34] <maw> gin_quaker: are you sure bridge is the correct word? Maybe you want NAT... what are you trying to do?
[01:34] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, in that case... would the graphical installer be easier for you?
[01:34] <joe__> Does anyone know why my pctel 2304WT linmodem shows "NO CARRIER!" I have tried  PCtel , slamr, and slmodemd packages. All get the same result in wvdail.  The modem dials out and sounds like a normal handshake but abruptly disconnects and gives me a no carrier message.
[01:34] <doubledew> fish:  documentation
[01:34] <maw> fish: you asked how to enable verbosity... I said I dont know
[01:34] <gin_quaker> maw: basibly, router -> ubuntumachine -> another machine
[01:35] <gin_quaker> so my ubuntu machine has two two network cards, eth0 and eth1
[01:35] <maw> doubledew: your entire dmesg is spammed with the USB messages - there should be more
[01:35] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: i can't get the ppc gui to load at all.
[01:35] <fish> maw: It was the dox that i wasnt understanding, Thank you doubledew
[01:35] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, ah no wonder
[01:35] <maw> fish: sorry
[01:35] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: I think it's not configured well for my graphics card
[01:35] <maw> gin_quaker: does the backend server need internet access?
[01:35] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, hmm... what you want to do, is create a new partition from the free space
[01:36] <gin_quaker> maw: you mean the ubuntumachine? yes
[01:36] <fish> maw: np maw, i will check those things and return with my results
[01:36] <fish> brb
[01:36] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, if the live CD graphical installer isn't working... there may be a good chance that it still won't work after installation...
[01:36] <maw> gin_quaker: router -> ubuntu (internet=yes) -> computer (internet???)
[01:36] <doubledew> maw: by chance does this have anything to do with me using the beta for 8.04?  I mean for the spammed usb messages, teh wireless still had problems with 7.10
[01:36] <mountainma1> maw: ya i've tried ones from different ones-i can't figure out why none of the files will work. i've even tried downloading it on two different systems.  my other system is completely unbootable now
[01:37] <gin_quaker> maw: yeah the computer needs internet as well
[01:37] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: that is a worry. some how it set the Hz beyond my moniters capabilitys
[01:37] <maw> gin_quaker: why cant the backend "another computer" be just ebhind the router?
[01:38] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, ah don't worry about that :P... nowadays monitors won't let software force them into doing something like that
[01:38] <yefer> hola
[01:38] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: basicly I'm hoping i can borrow an old vga crt
[01:38] <gin_quaker> maw: basicly, I don't want to run another 35 Meter cable
[01:38] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: my flat screen isn't flexible enough.
[01:38] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, what mac are you using?
[01:38] <Atomic_UE> I have a folder. I change the icon for that folder by right-click > properties. Where is the information saved/kept regarding what icon should be displayed for that folder?
[01:38] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: g4 tower
[01:38] <MrStitch> Howdy, again....
[01:38] <HinHin> i found a few good sites for OSX/ubuntu 7.10 dualbooting
[01:38] <Atomic_UE> I always thought it was a .desktop file in that directory, but that doesn't seem to be the case?
[01:38] <ramoneur> whats the command for checking the name of a program?.. sounds weird, hope someone understands what i mean
[01:39] <MrStitch> What was that audio channel here again? Alas, or something like that?
[01:39] <maw> gin_quaker: I am confused... how is the ubuntu machine and the "another copmputer" connected then? its either cable or wireless
[01:39] <maw> for the physical layer
[01:39] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: origional relise (with the dvi interface)
[01:39] <gin_quaker> cable
[01:39] <yefer> hola mundo
[01:39] <dman92> Atomic_UE: from my experience, whatever it is is in that directory, as you need write access (i think) to change the icon.
[01:39] <joe__> mrstich: alsa
[01:39] <RoAkSoAx> yefer, para español entra a #ubuntu-es
[01:39] <gin_quaker> maw: the ubuntu machine has two network cards, eth0 (going to the router) and eth1 (going to the other pc)
[01:39] <maw> doubledew: could be... can you try "dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt" and upload the file somewhere
[01:39] <MrStitch> There we go! Thanks bud!
[01:39] <Jeffrey1> How to remove the Linux partition then re-size the windows partition.  Is the partition editor on the live cd?
[01:39] <yefer> Thank you I speak English too
[01:40] <yefer> jeje
[01:40] <joe__> no problem
[01:40] <doubledew> maw: that is what i did to paste it to pastebin
[01:40] <RoAkSoAx> yefer, lol ok, but you should not speak in spanish here :)
[01:40] <maw> oh
[01:40] <yefer> ok, sorry, Im new here
[01:40] <maw> doubledew: well dmesg usally contains hardware information during the OS boot - I am surprised that is missing and it's just USB spam
[01:40] <dman92> yefer: everyone is once =P
[01:40] <yefer> I have just installed Ubuntu and I am exploring the possibilities
[01:41] <maw> doubledew: did you try different USB ports?
[01:41] <doubledew> yes i have, but this one works well with my ipod so i dont think its a bad port
[01:41] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: anyway. I was wonering. I have this HFS+ partition with space but I'm not sure how to set the partioner to make a new partition out of the free space with out screwing up the data in the HFS+ partition.
[01:41] <maw> gin_quaker: have you considered this: router -> switch -> LAN
[01:42] <jga23> is there any way to set a hotkey for moving windows to another workspace (without focusing on that workspace)
[01:42] <maw> gin_quaker: what you're trying to do wont work unless the ubuntu machine is using NAT
[01:42] <maw> gin_quaker: there maybe another way to do it, but I dont know
[01:42] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, as far as i know... it won't touch the data, only separate the free space
[01:43] <Jeffrey1> Have XP/Linux on dual boot.  Need to remove the Linux partition then re-size the windows partition back to maximum.  Is the partition editor on the live cd?
[01:43] <c0d3w4rri0r> HinHin: so i would select the option? resize the partition?
[01:43] <maw> doubledew: sorry man, that is odd... time for google I think unless someone else speaks up here ;)
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Jeffrey1: yes
[01:43] <HinHin> c0d3w4rri0r, yup resize
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Jeffrey1: use gparted on the live CD, to delete the ubuntu partition, then format it to NTFS..
[01:43] <doubledew> maw: yea i know, thanks for trying though
[01:43] <maw> doubledew: can you also share your /var/log/messages after the machine boots?
[01:43] <nonewmsgs> whats the prob
[01:43] <nonewmsgs> doubledew:
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Jeffrey1: then boot a windows boot disk, and run "fixmbr", and "fixboot" to remove grub from the master boort record of the windows drive
[01:44] <Jeffrey1> Thanks IndyGunFreak.....have to remove grub too
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> Jeffrey1: right, read above.
[01:44] <doubledew> maw:  i dont have a /var/log/messages
[01:44] <w30> jga23, right clik on the window taskbar that you wnt to move
[01:44] <maw> doubledew: did you sudo?
[01:45] <w30> wnt/want
[01:45] <jga23> w30: yeah, I know, is there any way to set a hotkey to do that?
[01:45] <maw> doubledew: looking at your dmesg you're missing '0 -> 816'
[01:45] <maw> doubledew: look at your paste again
[01:45] <jga23> like ctrl-alt-4 to move the current window do workspace 4?

[01:48] <Jeffrey1> Thanks again IndyGunFreak
[01:48] <Sefram> any ideas here?

[01:58] <spiritus5> external panel dont work with ubuntu
[01:59] <mheath> bluefoxx: To write to the tape drive, use tar
[01:59] <mtc267chs> it has only one entry, but n instructions on installation
[01:59] <mheath> bluefoxx: tape drives do NOT behave at all like normal drives. They can only be accessed in a linear manner.
[01:59] <orbixx-livecd> Does anyone know how to enable a restricted driver at cli?
[01:59] <Mr_Bad_News> im trying to install windows on virtualbox but as soon as i get to to the license agreement it freezes my computer
[01:59] <mheath> bluefoxx: You have to use a program that knows how to access them.
[01:59] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to fix this?
[01:59] <mheath> bluefoxx: tar is meant for that. tar was written specifically for writing to/from tapes
[01:59] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, mem is not enough.hhaha
[02:00] <Mr_Bad_News> i have 256
[02:00] <bluefoxx> mheath: well how do i read and write to the tape? i plan to use it for backing up my documents[.zips and .pdfs] and my images, hoping to backup entire directories...the other program i tried wrote but the tape didnt move and it froze after a few minutes
[02:00] <Mr_Bad_News> how much do i need?
[02:00] <fish> maw: no
[02:00] <icesword> no,it cannot ,mr_bad_news,at least 512,if you use virutalbox
[02:00] <mheath> bluefoxx: First, rewind the drive: mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
[02:00] <fish> maw: I have fedora installed still but that only becaus i havnt transfered all my files over to Ub
[02:00] <Mr_Bad_News> whats the command to see howmuch my system has icesword

[02:01] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, what?you host isn
[02:01] <fish> maw: I dont boot fedora though
[02:01] <maw> fish: and fedora loads fine?
[02:01] <Mr_Bad_News> ?
[02:01] <Mr_Bad_News> whats the command to see how much memory i have
[02:01] <mheath> bluefoxx: Then, to write to it, use tar, and a command like this (which backs up everything in home and uses compression): tar -czf /dev/st0 /home
[02:01] <maw> fish: oh... the fact you logged off IRC I thought you were using *this* computer for dual booting
[02:01] <fish> maw: yes, but not when i try to use the video card

[02:03] <mheath> bluefoxx: -c = create a new archive, z = use compression, -f <device> = write to  a partiuclar device
[02:03] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, i say,virtualbox does a bad mem management,or maybe you can try vmware
[02:03] <maw> do you mean RAM or disk space?
[02:03] <maw> disk = df -h
[02:03] <Mr_Bad_News> ram
[02:03] <mheath> bluefoxx: type the command 'man tar' in a terminal to bring up the manual page for tar
[02:03] <maw> ok, then /proc/meminfo
[02:03] <Mr_Bad_News> that is meminfo
[02:03] <maw> which is RAM
[02:04] <mtc267chs> ru`:little help?
[02:04] <bluefoxx> bluefoxx@azUre-prIDE:~$ tar -czf /dev/st0 /home/bluefoxx/Documents              tar: Removing leading `/' from member names             tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Input/output error               tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now             tar: Child returned status 2        tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[02:04] <icesword> maw, he has 256m ram,and want to run virtualbox
[02:04] <fevel> hey
[02:04] <Mr_Bad_News> so whats going on icesword i have enough
[02:05] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, enough?what
[02:05] <Mr_Bad_News> i even tried to install it in fluxbox to use as little memory as possible and it still froze
[02:05] <mheath> bluefoxx: obviously you need to replace st0 with the real name of your drive.
[02:05] <Dr_willis> 256mb enough?  Ick.
[02:05] <eugman|college> I have a sh script I want to run periodically using cron, Is there a special place I should have it?
[02:05] <Mr_Bad_News> its a laptop Dr_willis
[02:05] <Chris|> i wouldnt even consider virtualbox with 256mbs of ram, 512mb yeah
[02:05] <mheath> bluefoxx: I have no idea what that is on a modern ubuntu system with your drive. It was st0 for a serial tape drive 10 years ago, the last time I worked with them.
[02:05] <Dr_willis> eugman|college,  use the full path to the script in the crontab and it should be fine.
[02:05] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, then you could try vmware.like i told you,virtualbox does a bad mm
[02:05] <bluefoxx> mheath: that is the drive though
[02:05] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  that some how makes it 'enough'?
[02:05] <Mr_Bad_News> no
[02:06] <Mr_Bad_News> i just dont know how to upgrade it myself
[02:06] <bluefoxx> mheath: when i use st0 with mt it works fine :/
[02:06] <fish> maw: I have Ub installed completely on one HD and Fedora installed completely on another separate HD in the same box, I use GRUB boot loader to choose the OS and ubuntu is default
[02:06] <icesword> Mr_Bad_News, and your host is linux.so ....
[02:06] <khem> hey on hardy my firefox keeps crashing when I play flash videos on it. its flaky I tried to delete .mozilla also but to no avail any known issues in this area ?
[02:07] <Dr_willis> khem,  flash is such an issue the last few months its scary.
[02:07] <mheath> bluefoxx: use google, search. I can't help much - I haven't used a tape drive in 10 years or so
[02:07] <nonewmsgs> what are illegal blocks and is it ok to clear them?
[02:07] <drivertest> I'm trying to write a linux char device driver, and I am able to cat the file, and it will call the (open) function i have written, but when i try to write to the file i get permission denided, does anyone have any ideas?  I have implemented the function and included it in the fops structure.
[02:07] <Moridin333> khem I read something about that in the forums
[02:07] <Mr_Bad_News> how do you turn the beep off in xfce?
[02:07] <Mr_Bad_News> im about to go crazy
[02:07] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  i tend to use 'xset b 0 0 0 '
[02:07] <Mr_Bad_News> its not in settings
[02:07] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please khem
[02:07] <Dr_willis> it depends on who/what/how is beeping.
[02:07] <Mr_Bad_News> that means nothing to me Dr_willis  'xset b 0 0 0 '
[02:07] <fish> hey! bazhang
[02:07] <Mr_Bad_News> its the system beep Dr_willis
[02:07] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  time to learn some basic shell commands then.
[02:08] <Dr_willis> open up a term - put that in :)
[02:08] <bazhang> hi fish
[02:08] <fish> remember me from last night?
[02:08] <Mr_Bad_News> know a good place ?
[02:08] <bazhang> sure fish
[02:08] <Dr_willis> google has 10000's of links to learn bash. and the bot here has a dozen factoids on the topic as well
[02:08] <Dr_willis> !bash | Mr_Bad_News
[02:08] <ubotu> Mr_Bad_News: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[02:08] <Mr_Bad_News> thank you Dr_willis
[02:08] <fish> I tried the boot parameters you gave but it loaded the same way
[02:08] <Mr_Bad_News> do you know a place to learn things like that Dr_willis
[02:08] <mtc267chs> problem installing apps with wine, please help
[02:08] <Mr_Bad_News> little tips and tricks that they dont talk about in most scripting guides
[02:08] <bazhang> fish then it might be time to try the alternate cd
[02:09] <bluefoxx> mheath: found it, thanks. its "/dev/ht0" for IDE tape drives, which mine is[though i do actually have all interfaces in my system, scsi, pata, sata and such. sata sucks though, bad controller for it]
[02:09] <Daisuke_Ido> mtc267chs, try #wine or winehq.org
[02:09] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  if you really want to use mininimal ram, You may want to install a very veyr very light window manager like jwm,
[02:09] <fish> alternate cd?
[02:09] <Daisuke_Ido> Mr_Bad_News, hang out here for a while :)
[02:09] <mtc267chs> #wine is completly silent
[02:09] <fish> i did the check sourcse thing again and it said this install cd was fine again
[02:09] <bazhang> fish the alternate cd is a text-based install cd that does well when the livecd chokes
[02:09] <mtc267chs> winehq no solution
[02:09] <Dr_willis> With Linux - it pays to read, read, read, watch for bargin bin books, get them.. and read read read...
[02:09] <fish> oh
[02:10] <palomer> what's the gnome app to burn isos to dvd?
[02:10] <Moridin333> gnome baker
[02:10] <Mr_Bad_News> i have a couple books on linux shell scripting Dr_willis  and hacking ubuntu but none have the things that i want to learn and i wouldnt know what to search most of the time
[02:10] <mheath> bluefoxx: No problem
[02:10] <khem> so what should we do with flash problem can we use gnash instead is it better ?
[02:10] <palomer> thx
[02:10] <Moridin333> np
[02:10] <fish> bazhang: got any info on the alternate cd? where do i find it
[02:10] <slashjamiec> Hey, has anyone tried the beta?
[02:10] <bazhang> mtc267chs: #winehq no solution or no immediate solution? we can give a quick answer here, but it might be the wrong answer--which do you prefer? quick or right?
[02:10] <bpd1069> Is there a way to do an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 Beta , and use the CDROM iso as a repository?  I have the 8.04 beta iso but am not happy about waiting 4+ hours to download packages that are sitting on my desk.
[02:11] <achandrashekar> Hello Im running 6.06 ppc on a couple of boxes...id like to do a distribution upgrade..how do i do this?
[02:11] <bluefoxx> "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names"   how do i fix that? i only want to  backup two directories, not my entire /home directory :\
[02:11] <mheath> bpd1069: support for Hardy (including installation) is in #ubuntu+1
[02:11] <Moridin333> bpd1069 I would wait for 9 days.  that's when it comes out of beta and there should be an upgrade option without using a cd
[02:11] <bpd1069> thanks
[02:11] <bazhang> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ right here fish
[02:11] <mtc267chs> if you know anything i could try, it'll help
[02:11] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  The Orieally book on Using Bash - is a must get. :) At one time i had a book by redhat that was basicially a printout of all the man pages.  Not sure if those are still  being printed or not.
[02:12] <Mr_Bad_News> the man pages are kind of vague for a newb
[02:12] <fish> thanks
[02:12] <fish> i will try that then
[02:12] <Moridin333> Mr_Bad_News, I would highly recomend Linux in a Nutshell from Orielly
[02:12] <Mr_Bad_News> k
[02:13] <Moridin333> It's more than just man pages.  But it's a lot of reading.  you kinda have to like teaching yourself if you want to get really good with command line.  I have quite a ways to go myself
[02:13] <Mr_Bad_News> last time i tried installing vmware i did the sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` and when i rebooted my computer was f***ed
[02:14] <elmer> What is the way to output text in a shell script?
[02:14] <andyxhw> hello.In Linux, what kinds of Input Method do Arabian use ? thanks
[02:14] <Moridin333> command > text file
[02:14] <pitr256> command >textfile
[02:15] <jrib> elmer: echo.  You should read the scripting guides on tldp.org
[02:15] <elmer> Thanks jrib. That is what I needed.
[02:15] <elmer> I thought it was print
[02:15] <Moridin333> oops.  thx jrib
[02:15] <Moridin333> output to screen or file?
[02:16] <andyxhw> who can tell me what kinds of Input Method do Arabian use ?
[02:16] <drivertest> I'm trying to write a linux char device driver, and I am able to cat the file, and it will call the (open) function i have written, but when i try to write to the file i get permission denided, does anyone have any ideas?  I have implemented the function and included it in the fops structure.  Anyone have any ideas, or an idea where i could get assistance from?

[02:17] <GoodBoyRyan> its a cool site
[02:18] <bazhang> GoodBoyRyan: what does that have to do with ubuntu support
[02:18] <jrib> GoodBoyRyan: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> oh sorry
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> i thought it was just a chat room
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> omg
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> sorry
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> i am new to this thing
[02:18] <GoodBoyRyan> btw what is ubuntu
[02:19] <jrib> GoodBoyRyan: we chat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  This channel is for support of Ubuntu, a linux distribution
[02:19] <bazhang> achandrashekar: you want a fresh install? otherwise you need to go from 6.06 to 7.10 with every version in between
[02:19] <fish> bazhang: this means installing Ub all over again, right?
[02:19] <bat21win> Wow.... if you don't know what ubuntu is, you may be on the wrong server.
[02:19] <MrStitch> GoodBoyRyan: Oh boy... you're in for a world of hurt. hahahha j/k
[02:19] <icesword> GoodBoyRyan, --------->#ubuntu-offtopic
[02:19] <fish> bazhang: because that sucks because I will lose all my settings and preferences and install aps
[02:19] <bazhang> fish you got it installed? I thought the live cd did not boot
[02:19] <Odd-rationale> !ubuntu | GoodBoyRyan
[02:19] <ubotu> GoodBoyRyan: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com

[02:20] <Odd-rationale> lol
[02:20] <bazhang> ah fish then that is a different story; so many installs yesterday that I lost track sorry
[02:20] <achandrashekar> bazhang: well..as you might remember...i had the woes with 7.10 install on ppc. 6.06 installs fine on the g4s..and now im thinking upgrade...so how do i go about it exactly...i read some of the how to's but the upgrade manager shows ability to upgrade to 7.10.
[02:20] <Kedavra> He can't find his way around IRC, I doubt he can handle a Linux OS. At least not right off the bat =P
[02:20] <andyxhw> hello.In Linux, what kinds of Input Method do Arabian use ? thanks
[02:20] <gaspipe1> hey people
[02:20] <fish> bazhang: np
[02:21] <achandrashekar> bazhang: that was..shows "no" ability..sorry.
[02:21] <GoodBoyRyan> which chat rooms are normal just for fun chat rooms
[02:21] <gaspipe1> i was wondering if someone could direct me to a link
[02:21] <bazhang> not here GoodBoyRyan
[02:21] <jrib> GoodBoyRyan: #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:21] <MrStitch> GoodBoyRyan: probably hottub, if it's still around.
[02:21] <achandrashekar> !ask
[02:21] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:22] <GoodBoyRyan> is ubuntu a kind of version like windows xp or so
[02:22] <GoodBoyRyan> just asking want to learn more
[02:22] <MrStitch> Run man, RUN!
[02:22] <MrStitch> hahhaha
[02:22] <gaspipe1> I have a dual boot XP and Ubuntu, my ubuntu "side" of the HDD is maxed out, it won't let me log in. It's about time that I install the newest one anyway.
[02:22] <mneptok> GoodBoyRyan: please /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:22] <JPSman> How do I create a launcher?
[02:22] <icesword> lol
[02:23] <fish> JPSman: right-click on desktop and click Create Launcher
[02:23] <gaspipe1> I remember when installing I had to partition the drive (into 2 different parts I think for Ubuntu)
[02:23] <MrStitch> GoodBoyRyan: just go to Ubuntu.com (or whatever the URL is), they got all the info. And yes, it's another OS, like xp... but better... supposedly... I'm still getting to the bottom of that.
[02:23] <fish> JPSman: you will need to know that command line to run the probrame
[02:23] <achandrashekar> gasipel1: not sure if single user mode from a boot disk will allow you then remove files... but that might work?
[02:23] <bazhang> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu GoodBoyRyan
[02:23] <gaspipe1> how would I reInstall this updated version without messing up XP
[02:23] <GoodBoyRyan> thanks
[02:24] <elmer> gaspipe1, you should look into dual-booting or wubi
[02:24] <achandrashekar> bazhang: basically I need to go to 6.10 alternate, then 7.00, then 7.10?
[02:24] <elmer> gaspipe1, let me google both of those for you
[02:24] <bazhang> gaspipe1: which updated version? you mean the next release or the current stable release
[02:24] <gaspipe1> elmer: TY so much
[02:24] <elmer> gaspipe1, Wubi: http://wubi-installer.org/
[02:24] <gaspipe1> bazhang: I have current stable version
[02:25] <elmer> gaspipe1, Dual booting: http://howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty
[02:25] <bazhang> achandrashekar: 6.06--->6.10---->7.04---->7.10
[02:25] <elmer> gaspipe1, don't worry that it is for 7.04. It works with 7.10.
[02:25] <gaspipe1> bazhang: i also used the 64 bit, but i think i want to use the normal since i had issues try'n to use Wine
[02:25] <fish> bazhang: I dont mean to overload you but can you suggest a next step to my problem? I am unable to give any kind of errors because the verbose mode is off, should I turn that on and get the erros into pastebin for you?
[02:25] <kakoonia> im trying to run gtk-theme-manager, but nothing happens? any1 got idea?
[02:26] <bazhang> gaspipe1: if you want to switch arches (64bit to 32bit) then you need to completely reinstall
[02:26] <kakoonia> im running ubuntu-gutsy+compiz
[02:26] <GoodBoyRyan> its such a big program 4.4 gigs
[02:26] <bazhang> fish if you turn off quiet and make note of the errors that would be helpful thanks
[02:26] <gaspipe1> would Ubuntu "know" not to reformat or somehtin. not sure the right way to phrase this but I want the newer ubuntu to install where I had it
[02:26] <JohnK`> i'm having a weird issue between compiz and KDE 3.5
[02:26] <mneptok> kakoonia: most GTK themes are not compatible with Compiz
[02:27] <JohnK`> i installed kicker-compiz to try to resove an issue with virtual desktops
[02:27] <JohnK`> but now i can't get more than one virtual desktop
[02:27] <JohnK`> and i uninstalled kicker-compiz
[02:27] <JohnK`> because i want it to work the old way
[02:27] <pitr256> gaspipe1: when you install choose custom partition
[02:27] <JohnK`> but i can't get kicker to let me have more than one virtual desktop
[02:27] <fish> bazhang: Ok so in the grub bootloader menu, i hit "e" and then select "quiet" and then hit "d" then "b" to boot?
[02:27] <andyxhw> hello.In Linux, what kinds of Input Method do Arabian use ? thanks
[02:27] <JohnK`> anyone have any idea how to fix that? :(
[02:27] <pitr256> then utilize only the linux partition
[02:27] <kakoonia> mneptok: ok, and if im diabling compiz, how can i run the gtk0theme-manager?
[02:27] <kakoonia> disabling**
[02:27] <fevel> whats the best way to install kde4 on ubuntu 7.10?

[02:30] <JohnK`> read-only but it mounts
[02:30] <Orbixx> Mine mounts with write access.
[02:30] <kreative> I'd like read/write access
[02:30] <JPSman> Fish: I tried that but I get a "there was an error creating a child process for this terminal"
[02:30] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412392 andyxhw

[02:31] <Orbixx> command
[02:31] <MrStitch> mIRC's been doing it for eons
[02:31] <JohnK`> MrStitch: yeah, it's annoying.
[02:31] <JohnK`> but the xchat package is straight-up xchat
[02:31] <Orbixx> feature!
[02:31] <JohnK`> xchat-gnome isn't
[02:31] <Orbixx> MrStitch: Install irssi.
[02:31] <MrStitch> JohnK - that tells me nothing. hahahaha
[02:31] <andyxhw> bazhang, arabic. thanks
[02:31] <Orbixx> sudo apt-get install irssi
[02:32] <bazhang> andyxhw: see the link above
[02:32] <JohnK`> MrStitch: short of installing xchat, instead of xchat-gnome, there's no way you can enable the userlist :P
[02:32] <JohnK`> okay this is seriously pissing me off. i can't get more than one virtual workspace enabled at once
[02:32] <fish> JPSman: what are you launching?
[02:32] <twistage> Whats the easiest way to manually configure your IP in Gutsy?

[02:34] <`Luke> anyone, could someone give me a hand, installing drivers for a nvidia 6800 :(
[02:35] <orochi_> Hello :> Anyone here successfully running KDE4 in 7.10?
[02:35] <`Luke> id hate to go back to windows... but man.. i just cant install drivers...
[02:35] <HelloWorld10> i have a question on performing backup by using partimage, can backup be done within ubuntu itself?
[02:35] <Orbixx> So what nice visual effects do I get now I've installed my nvidia drivers?
[02:35] <Daisuke_Ido> orochi_, i would imagine so, it's available and has been for a couple months now
[02:36] <Orbixx> How do I get that cube that can rotate around?
[02:36] <orochi_> Daisuke_Ido, True, I was wondering if anyone had any specific problems with it before I installed it :> GNOME is working fine for me now but I figured I'd give it a try
[02:36] <Daisuke_Ido> !compiz > Orbixx (see private message)
[02:36] <`Luke> nobody knows? :( oh well
[02:36] <Daisuke_Ido> orochi_, it's still not perfect, and won't be for some time
[02:36] <JohnK`> does anyone have any idea? -.-
[02:36] <pitr256> Luke: have you installed the restricted drivers?
[02:37] <Daisuke_Ido> but it is more or less functional
[02:37] <Daisuke_Ido> it's down to love it or hate it with most people
[02:37] <`Luke> how do i do that.. i been at this 3 hrs.
[02:37] <JohnK`> I can't get the Number of Desktops in CompizConfig to go above 1.
[02:37] <fish> bazhang: OK, i ask because I did that, it didnt go to verbose mode, just loaded normally (regarding the process for rebooting in verbose mode)
[02:37] <Orbixx> Strange.
[02:37] <JohnK`> i'm using KDE 3.5
[02:37] <Orbixx> I'm trying to start firefox.
[02:37] <Orbixx> The taskbar brings up "starting firefox"
[02:37] <Orbixx> It disappears.
[02:37] <Orbixx> And doesn't load.
[02:37] <JohnK`> Orbixx: killall firefox-bin?
[02:38] <Orbixx> no process killed
[02:38] <JohnK`> odd.
[02:38] <Orbixx> Indeed.

[02:38] <Orbixx> Would it have something to do with a massive update that is just partaking this very moment?
[02:38] <Shadow420> Orbixx what GUI are u using GNOME KDE or Xfc?
[02:38] <JohnK`> oh
[02:38] <JohnK`> orbixx, killall firefox
[02:38] <Luke> pitr256: what?
[02:38] <fish> JPSman: is that the whole error or is there mor?
[02:38] <Orbixx> No process killed.
[02:38] <nullbnx> whats the ubuntu server room?
[02:38] <Orbixx> Shadow420: Gnome.
[02:38] <JohnK`> wait, are you upgrading, orbixx?
[02:39] <JohnK`> that happened to me.
[02:39] <HelloWorld10> could anyone advise me about my question?
[02:39] <Orbixx> I'm upgrading packages.
[02:39] <JohnK`> while i was upgrading
[02:39] <Daisuke_Ido> nullbnx, #ubuntu-server
[02:39] <JohnK`> to 8.04\
[02:39] <Orbixx> No.
[02:39] <Orbixx> Not upgrading Ubuntu version.
[02:39] <Orbixx> Just packages.
[02:39] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 what is your question
[02:39] <JohnK`> so does anyone have ANY idea why i can't get the number of desktops to go above 1 in CompizConfig?
[02:39]  * JohnK` sighs
[02:39] <bazhang> JohnK`: ccsm general settings--->virtual horizon desktops set to 4
[02:39] <HelloWorld10> Shadow, the question is..
[02:39] <HelloWorld10> i have a question on performing backup by using partimage, can backup be done within ubuntu itself?
[02:40] <JohnK`> bazhang: but that dosen't work right with kicker
[02:40] <HelloWorld10> just a silly Q
[02:40] <HelloWorld10> ;D
[02:40] <JPSman> fish: thats the whole error
[02:40] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 does partimage have a gui?
[02:40] <JohnK`> kicker won't let me go above one either
[02:40] <JohnK`> and it's frustrating
[02:40] <JohnK`> because i'm used to having multiple desktops.
[02:40] <JohnK`> and i can only have one.
[02:40] <HelloWorld10> Shadows420, yes, it does
[02:41]  * AutoMatriX sis so sorry to repeat his question : I've got a Toshiba M200, ith hangs whent I'm rebooting .... can someone help ? 
[02:41] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 then I wouldn't see why not
[02:41] <bazhang> JohnK`: best bet is to join the compiz channel-->how critical of a problem is this? sounds mainly aesthetic
[02:41] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 then but if it doesn't work use gparted
[02:41] <HelloWorld10> Shadows420, well, but i will need to umount the / before going further, yet while i go to umount /, it said, the device is busy
[02:42] <JohnK`> bazhang: it's more than aesthetic because it affects my productivity
[02:42] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 thats because you are currently using the partition
[02:42] <kreative> im still having problems with the ntfs mount
[02:42] <fish> JPSman: in the create launcher dialog, are you selecting "Aplication" or "Aplication in terminal"?
[02:42] <HelloWorld10> Shadow420, gparted can perform backup fastly?
[02:43] <fish> +p +p
[02:43] <`Luke> i got a   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic   must instal... how do i do that...  kinda new,
[02:43] <bazhang> JohnK`: but 8 messages in 3 minutes here? /j #compiz-fusion
[02:43] <Orbixx> bazhang: Is Compiz-Fusion in the repos somewhere?
[02:43] <travisat> HelloWorld10: your best bet for a backup is either only backup files you need to save or use another computer or live cd
[02:43] <JPSman> fish: it needs a text file to start it running
[02:43] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 I am not qutie sure never used it for that but it's quick you can use it on the System Rescue CD
[02:43] <bazhang> Orbixx: you need to install ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager)
[02:44] <Orbixx> Can't find it.
[02:44] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 it also depends on how much data you have stored
[02:44] <HelloWorld10> travisat, erm...in fact, im a new learner...i have to back up before doing anything wrong that i couldn't handle
[02:44] <bazhang> Orbixx: where did you look
[02:44] <JPSman> fish: well that was application in terminal.  With just "application" nothing happens
[02:44] <Orbixx> Standard repositories.
[02:44] <Shadow420> Orbixx do sudo apt-get install ccsm
[02:44] <Orbixx> I did.
[02:45] <Orbixx> E: Couldn't find package ccsm
[02:45] <HelloWorld10> Shadow420, yeah, im now going for system rescue cd to do backup
[02:45] <nickrud> Orbixx compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:45] <travisat> HelloWorld10: well in that case the safest way is to have a separate home partition and if you mess up you can reinstall without losing the data in your home directory
[02:45] <Shadow420> Orbixx you may have to enable the multiverse repos
[02:45] <Orbixx> nickrud: You are the font of knowledge.
[02:45] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install fullnameofpackage which is compizconfig-settings-manager Orbixx
[02:45] <Orbixx> Alright, ccsm is installed.
[02:45] <Orbixx> Is that it?
[02:45] <nickrud> bazhang you are so sloooowww ;)
[02:46] <Orbixx> As that was too easy.
[02:46] <bazhang> nickrud: so true
[02:46] <bazhang> Orbixx: now you should go over to #compiz-fusion
[02:46] <HelloWorld10> travisat, ic, yet i perfer backing up the whole system to doing reinstallation, if the former goes faster
[02:46] <HelloWorld10> ;D
[02:46] <Orbixx> I ought to restart.
[02:47] <Orbixx> Got a few updates nagging me.
[02:47] <reya276> Hello
[02:47] <Shadow420> I don't need any fancy effects I prefer ubuntu to stay at the speed it is
[02:47] <reya276> Can anyone tell me how to run "wacom-tools"
[02:48] <nickrud> reya276 dpkg -L wacom-tools | grep /bin will show you the executables
[02:48] <travisat> HelloWorld10: ah ic http://ping.windowsdream.com/ping.html
[02:48] <travisat> HelloWorld10: there are other options for live-cds available
[02:48] <mountainma1> hey, i'm trying to find an iso for ubuntu 7.10 to make a live cd -- but when i check them with md5sum they are corrupt.  yes my cd is blank, yes i've tried different mirrors, yes i've tried torrents and no i don' want to wait six weeks for a cd to be mailed.  any ideas?
[02:48] <Dr_willis> I recall the wacom  packages installed some docs in /usr/share/doc/wacom* also
[02:48] <HelloWorld10> travisat, does that mean im lagging?
[02:49]  * HelloWorld10 @@
[02:49] <fish> JPSman: I am afraid I cannot answer you question. I am sorry but I dont know the answer and I was unable to find it. Perhaps someone else here my know how JPSman can create a launcher for the program "Phun" without getting the error: "there was an error creating a child process for this terminal" ?
[02:49] <reya276> nickrud: thanks let me try that

[02:49] <Mr_Bad_News> has anyone ever installed more ram into their laptop?
[02:49] <HelloWorld10> Shadow420 & travisat, thank you very much for the advice! ;D
[02:49] <nickrud> reya276 and as Dr_willis said, /usr/share/doc/wacom-tools .  grepping the output of the dpkg -L  for /man will show you some more docs
[02:50] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News: sure
[02:50] <Mr_Bad_News> i have a dell inspiron 8600
[02:50] <Mr_Bad_News> do i have to take it apart completely to put the ram in?
[02:50] <Shadow420> HelloWorld10 not a problem glad to e of help
[02:50] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News: check the manual for where to put it
[02:50] <nickrud> Mr_Bad_News almost certainly there's a little panel on the bottom you open up to get access to the ram slots
[02:50] <mountainma1> travisat-- live cd options u mentioned...can u help me out
[02:50] <Mr_Bad_News> there is nickrud
[02:50] <Mr_Bad_News> but they seem fixed
[02:50] <travisat> mountainma1: I don't know, what is your problem
[02:51] <JPSman> fish:thank you for trying
[02:51] <HelloWorld10> thanks, ciao for now
[02:51] <Mr_Bad_News> and i dont want to take the chance of bending or breaking something
[02:51] <fish> anyone knwo how I might enable verbose mode
[02:51] <luciddream> hi, I've installed some startup scripts in /etc/init.d/ and put corresponding links in the /etc/rc#.d directories, I think.  My services aren't starting at startup though -- is there a log or something I can check to see what's going wrong?  They start fine if I start them manually from the command line.
[02:51] <fish> JPSman: No Problem, Again, I am sorry that i was unable to help.
[02:51] <nickrud> Mr_Bad_News then you'd best look a the manual, or maybe google for 'replace ram chips inspiron 8600'
[02:51] <Shadow420> hey I have CD iso of grub and I want to burn it to a CD-RW and make it bootable how do I do that?
[02:51] <Orbixx> Firefox still isn't starting :-<
[02:52] <travisat> Shadow420: cdrecord -t nameof.iso
[02:52] <mountainma1> travisat: hey, i'm trying to find an iso for ubuntu 7.10 to make a live cd -- but when i check them with md5sum they are corrupt.  yes my cd is blank, yes i've tried different mirrors, yes i've tried torrents and no i don' want to wait six weeks for a cd to be mailed.  any ideas?
[02:52] <bazhang> mountainma1: how about gettting the minimal iso? that is only 9MB and is less likely to be corrupt--that way you can see if it is a software or a hardware problem
[02:52] <nickrud> Shadow420 on ubuntu? right click iso and say burn.
[02:52] <gaspipe1> anyone have a sec for an install?
[02:52] <gaspipe1> i'm running ubuntu from a live cd
[02:52] <`Luke> OK THATS IT, GOING BAKC TO WINDOWS, this is BS
[02:52] <travisat> mountainma1: have you tried teh torrent?  http downloads can get corrupted if you have a bad connection
[02:52] <`Luke> 8 hrs to install a freaking video and sound card...
[02:52] <gaspipe1> trying to do a fresh install on the partitions that i have created b4
[02:52] <bazhang> bye `Luke
[02:52]  * nickrud thinks he's gonna hear that a lot in the next few weeks
[02:53] <gaspipe1> i have 3 partitions
[02:53] <mountainma1> bazhang - where might i get a minimal iso?
[02:53] <Shadow420> nickrud travisat ok but when I put the cd in ubuntu doesn't reconize it
[02:53] <Orbixx> nickrud: I assume that'll be with Ubuntu 8.0+?
[02:53] <mountainma1> travisat: yes i tried a torrent, same problem when i did an md5sum check
[02:53] <nickrud> Orbixx yes
[02:53] <Orbixx> Heh.
[02:53] <reya276> ﻿nickrud: how can I know if the system is actually recognizing the wacom tablet device because it does not work
[02:53] <zero88> Who could tell me how to install kde themes?
[02:53] <magic_ninja> anyone use vmware here
[02:53] <travisat> mountainma1: are you sure you have the right md5 for the file?
[02:53] <zero88> <3 KDE

[02:53] <overrider> hello guys, i am trying to get my dual monitor setup working: laptop lcd and a dvi connected monitor. is this mentioned somewhere, can someone point me to somewhere to read please, or some utility or so? thanks
[02:54] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD mountainma1
[02:54] <mountainma1> travisat: nope, sure aren't...not too familiar with the md5 stuff.  tried to just follow along a tutorial
[02:54] <zero88> Or is there a KDE Ubuntu room?
[02:54] <fish> `Luke: The solution is there, you just need to ask the right person
[02:54] <travisat> mountainma1: look at bazhangs link
[02:54] <Itaku> magic_ninja: i use vmware workstation whatcha need?
[02:54] <Odd-rationale> !kubuntu | zero88

[02:54] <gaspipe1> (sdb2 which is ext3 says mount point /media/sdb2 also is 11.9 gb))
[02:54] <mountainma1> bazhang: with a minimal iso will i be able to do a complete install with it, as the system i'm trying to get running is unbootable right now
[02:54] <zero88> lol thanks
[02:54] <`Luke> all i want to do is play, WoW, without graphics errors... everyone i talk to using ubuntu, isnt having the errors that in getting with similar stats,  and same gpu
[02:54] <Mr_Bad_News> nickrud, when i install them will i need to run any special commands or will it automatically be installed
[02:54] <nickrud> aanderse if you ship it to me, I'll give it a shot
[02:55] <aanderse> -_-
[02:55] <qwstar> how do i disable artsd? the arts package isn't even installed, so i'm not sure what package is providing it (/usr/bin/artsd
[02:55] <nickrud> Mr_Bad_News they'll be recognized automatically
[02:55] <Mr_Bad_News> ok
[02:55] <Mr_Bad_News> thanks
[02:55] <gaspipe1> then last  sdb3 which is the swap with 1283 mb
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> Luke: then ask everyone what they're doing that your not.
[02:55] <bazhang> mountainma1: most of it will be what you choose; and involve downloading what you choose from the net
[02:55] <magic_ninja> Itaku: when i run "vmware" from a command line it launches a web interface and its a fresh install, but no login/pw set
[02:55] <nickrud> aanderse my usual response when I'm jealous ;)
[02:55] <Orbixx> nickrud: You wouldn't happen to know what could be causing my Firefox not to execute, would you? Any common problems? This is a fresh install.
[02:56] <xtknight> i'm getting a raid5 resync on my /dev/md1, but i don't know why.  this happened after a pretty severe crash.  so how can i tell which HD is going south?  it has already completed this resync a day ago, and another one has started for some odd reason.  no crash has happened between the two resyncs.
[02:56] <`Luke> i cant get my sound to work, to talk on ventrilo, and i cant get my gpu to work to load WoW and ask em :(
[02:56] <drivertest> Running a command as sudo should make you run the command as root, correct?
[02:56] <gaspipe1> i would like to keep those partitions and leave the sdb1 ntfs alone (xp), and reforma the other 2 with a fresh install of ubuntu
[02:56] <Orbixx> drivertest: Yes.
[02:56] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions fish this might help
[02:56] <fish> `Luke, i learned in Fedora 8 that my problem was with my drivers not playing nice with my current kernel version but I moved to Ubuntu before fixing it because I prefer Ubuntu and If IM gonna put the work in to it I want it to be for Ub
[02:56] <nickrud> `Luke what kind of video card?
[02:56] <jscinoz> hey guys, i have a list of approx 300 files, is there anyway to have ln read this list and link every path in this file to another folder?
[02:56] <teddy> i install some web php applications like webcalendar or any php web program..I expected to see it in /var/www/localhost..but they get installed in /usr/share  . do i have to manually make a symbolic link for every program i install?
[02:56] <drivertest> I am having this issue where i am trying to echo to a file, whose permissions are 655, using sudo, and i am getting permission denied
[02:56] <`Luke> 6800 Nvidia
[02:56] <gaspipe1> but when i try to do it says no root file defined (i also clicked format on sdb2
[02:56] <travisat> `Luke: last time I tried vent with wine it sucked,  I had to run wow in windows in order to raid,  luckily I no longer play hehe
[02:56] <drivertest> however when I do sudo su, and run the same command it works.
[02:57] <nickrud> `Luke if you type glxinfo | grep direct , do you get 'yes' as a response?
[02:57] <gaspipe1> anyone? or was too long winded and confused people
[02:57] <mountainma1> bazhang - so it'll be enough to get my sys up and running?
[02:57] <nonewmsgs>  ok one of my movie files in / (2) has deleted/unused inode 283.  clear<y>?
[02:57] <nonewmsgs> is it ok to say no?
[02:57] <fish> bazhang: ok i will read that and return with some info, thanks bazhang
[02:57] <techqbert> I have java_vm running under top, how can I see what program is using the vm?
[02:57] <`Luke> i have to play WoW in windowed, at lowest settings, and still get 4FPS, because of the newest patch,
[02:57] <travisat> bazhang: is the regular livecd iso corrupted atm?
[02:58] <magic_ninja> Itaku: u there
[02:58] <nickrud> gaspipe1 I'd delete the two other partitions with gparted, and resize one to about 2x ram (up to 2gb) as swap and the rest as the root partition ( / )
[02:58] <nickrud> gaspipe1 s/resize/create/
[02:59] <gaspipe1> nickrud: ya making me nervous lol
[02:59] <bazhang> travisat: no; just mountainma1 is having md5 issues possible hardware issues or media issues so he cant get the iso to burn right
[02:59] <travisat> bazhang: ah ok
[02:59] <bazhang> mountainma1: up and running once you install gnome-desktop yes
[03:00] <nickrud> gaspipe1 you said you have a partition you want to leave as xp. Hopefully the first one on the disk. You could simply delete the second and third, and tell ubuntu to use the now unallocated space. It'll use it wisely
[03:00] <mountainma1> travisat and bazhang - no she can't get the iso burned.  wish me luck on the minimal, which i think i understand now....
[03:00] <mountainma1> thanks
[03:00] <Orbixx> nickrud: Did you see my question above?
[03:00] <nickrud> Orbixx no
[03:00] <Orbixx> nickrud: You wouldn't happen to know what could be causing my Firefox not to execute, would you? Any common problems? This is a fresh install.
[03:00] <bazhang> good luck mountainma1; may also want to look at the media quality; some of the Chinese/East asian couterfeits dont play nice with iso's
[03:00] <nickrud> have you tried running    /usr/bin/firefox    in a terminal?
[03:01] <nonewmsgs> Orbixx: run it in a terminal
[03:01] <Orbixx> just "firefox"?
[03:01] <nickrud> Orbixx either
[03:01] <cyborg> what is a trackerd process?
[03:01] <Orbixx> aha
[03:01] <Orbixx> sudo firefox worked
[03:01] <mountainma1> bazhang - i tried asian, north american and european mirror sites, no luck either way
[03:01] <Orbixx> firefox didn't
[03:01] <Luke> IndyGunFreak, pitr256: please note that I'm no tthe same person as Luke`
[03:01] <nickrud> Orbixx ah, you have run sudo firefox before I bet
[03:01] <nonewmsgs> that's weird
[03:02] <Orbixx> Nope.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> Luke: huh?
[03:02] <Orbixx> I tried with normal priveleges.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[03:02] <Luke> IndyGunFreak: you were highlighting me instead of Luke`
[03:02] <gaspipe1> nickrud: ok so delete the 2 partitions after the ntfs (xp) ok, and yes the xp is the 1st partition as u said
[03:02] <Orbixx> Afterwards... It still doesn't work.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> Luke: ok, my bad
[03:02] <Luke> IndyGunFreak: and pitr256 PMed me
[03:02] <Luke> np
[03:02] <nickrud> Orbixx try moving ~/.mozilla  to ~/mozilla , and running it again
[03:02] <Luke> just wanted to let you know
[03:02] <bazhang> mountainma1: I would look into media quality or burn speed then; those excepted might be good to try burning on a different cd burner to see if the problem persists
[03:02] <Orbixx> nickrud: Nice one - it works.
[03:02] <Orbixx> nickrud: What does that do? Reset the permissions?
[03:02] <nickrud> gaspipe1 yes, exactly. Then when the installer comes to the partitioning phase, look for the 'use unallocated space'
[03:03] <nickrud> Orbixx no, it moved all the user config stuff out of the way, allowing firefox to recreate it
[03:03] <nonewmsgs> nickrud: so there really is a reason you aren't supposed to sudo everything
[03:03] <Orbixx> I see.
[03:03] <nickrud> nonewmsgs oh yes. That is exactly the reason.
[03:03] <mountainma1> bazhang - i tried burning other iso files on the burner, as i suspected that, and they were successful.  would media quality of burn speed still be a factor then?
[03:03] <Orbixx> ah
[03:03] <decay> anyone else get "Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. " when starting compiz? (which fails to start)
[03:03] <Orbixx> nickrud: I didn't notice the period :)
[03:04] <Orbixx> Moved it from a hidden directory to a visible one.
[03:04] <gaspipe1> nickrud: ok now i have the 1 (xp) partition and some free space (13234 MB free space) how do I have ubuntu use it wisely?
[03:04] <nickrud> Orbixx copy and paste? always double check me for typos ;)
[03:04] <Orbixx> Making Firefox think it's configs had gone walk-abouts.
[03:04] <FotoPhocus> Anyone know when the FireFox 3 final is coming out?
[03:04] <Orbixx> No no, you were correct.
[03:04] <gaspipe1> nickrud: i just saw that...ok
[03:04] <nickrud> gaspipe1 when you get to the partitioning phase, tell ubuntu to use the free space
[03:04] <nonewmsgs> gaspipe1: what i would do is have 1gb swap, 10gb / and the rest in /home
[03:04] <bazhang> mountainma1: could well be; also be sure you get the correct md5 and do the check cd test when booted into initial menu (livecd that is)
[03:05] <nickrud> nonewmsgs not enough space (13gb) for that to be practical
[03:05] <bazhang> FotoPhocus: sometime in June
[03:05] <FotoPhocus> bazhang:  Cool, thanks :)
[03:05] <mountainma1> bazhang: ok, how do i double check i get the correct md5?  and the live cd will have an opiton to check cd test?
[03:05] <gogeta> :)
[03:06] <Zackymc_k> I have searched high and low to find out the problem with me not being able to turn off my computer through the logout scree or the exit button...any ideas?
[03:06] <gogeta> Zackymc_k for a auto shutdown you need acpi/apm support
[03:06] <kreative> hey
[03:07] <bazhang> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ on this page mountainma1 is the md5 sum you can /msg ubotu md5 for how to do it
[03:07] <kreative> I'm trying to build my amarok library with my shared ntfs folder
[03:07] <kreative> but it isnt in amarok
[03:07] <Zackymc_k> i was able to until last week then... no turn off
[03:07] <Orbixx> nickrud: Many thanks for all your help tonight.
[03:07] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: which version of Ubuntu?
[03:07] <bazhang> kreative: did you tell it to look in that folder?
[03:08] <gogeta> Zackymc_k might have ben broken somehow
[03:08] <nickrud> Orbixx you're welcome. Learn fast, there's gonna be lots of new helpers needed
[03:08] <nonewmsgs> yes nickrud is truly on fire tonight :)
[03:08] <kreative> the folder isnt recognized by amarok
[03:08] <gogeta> nickrud new helpers?
[03:08] <bazhang> nonewmsgs: as always ;]
[03:08]  * mneptok reminds himself to vacate IRC during release week >:)
[03:08] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: 7.10
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: I intend on doing so.
[03:08] <gaspipe1> nonewmsgs: i only have 11 gb free... still use 1gb for swap (1000 MB) and 10gb (10000 MB)?
[03:08] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: what kernel?
[03:08] <nickrud> gogeta people answering questions they know
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: Prior to installing Ubuntu, I've had lots of Linux server experience.
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: Ubuntu is my first proper Linux desktop installation.
[03:09] <nonewmsgs> ermmmm maybe see what it recomecnds
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Zackymc_k, did you have any unofficial repos prior to an update?
[03:09] <Orbixx> nickrud: Always been predominantly windows.
[03:09] <gogeta> nickrud yea and we have been doing that for
[03:09] <gogeta> nickrud lol
[03:09] <gaspipe1> nickrud: should I use the 512 as swap?
[03:09] <gogeta> Orbixx redhat 6 days
[03:09] <Zackymc_k> I don't believe so
[03:09] <nickrud> Orbixx ah, there are always server questions here. Ubuntu has some different config philosophies, but they aren't hard to learn
[03:09] <bazhang> gaspipe1: want at least one gig iirc
[03:09] <Orbixx> nickrud: Service configurations are my speciality :D
[03:10] <nickrud> gaspipe1 do you plan on hibernating the machine? If so, you should have at least ram+100mb
[03:10] <gaspipe1> bazhang: so 1000 for swap?
[03:10] <jon_high9000> hi there.
[03:10] <mneptok> gaspipe1: desktop or laptop?
[03:10] <gogeta> spkg reconfigure or doing it yourself
[03:10] <gogeta> d
[03:10] <gogeta> kik
[03:10] <gaspipe1> mneptok: desktop
[03:10] <mneptok> gaspipe1: how much physical memory?
[03:10] <bazhang> gaspipe1: if it is a laptop then yes and you want to hibernate
[03:10] <BrownDoggBrew> Hows every one doing tonight?
[03:10] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: I ran updates right after i installed ubuntu 7.10... fresh install with nothing else then a wep key
[03:10] <gogeta> nickrud relese day im hiding
[03:10] <gaspipe1> mneptok: ahhh 2 gigs i think at least
[03:11] <dweiss> a
[03:11] <fevel> how can I upgrade from gutsy to hoary/
[03:11] <fevel> ?
[03:11] <mneptok> gaspipe1: "free -m" will tell you
[03:11] <nickrud> gogeta hahahhaha the evil ops dragged me in for the release, I'm gonna be buussssyyy!
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: you can't
[03:11] <fevel> yes I can
[03:11] <fbc> I have seen videos on you tube with ubuntu and beryl and windows going out in flames. Will the compiz that is loaded by default do that now that compiz and beryl have merged, or what do I have to do?
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: no you can't
[03:11] <fevel> to the beta version
[03:11] <gogeta> nickrud you where aruldy in hiding lol
[03:11] <Zackymc_k> sory... i meant jack_sparrow
[03:11] <Shadow420> gaspipe1 yeah bazhang is right at least a 1GB for the swap have 1.5GB for my swap
[03:11] <gaspipe1> mneptok: where do i type that?
[03:11] <mneptok> fevel: i think you mean "Hardy"
[03:11] <mneptok> gaspipe1: Linux terminal
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> !hardy | fevel think abotu what you said
[03:11] <ubotu> fevel think abotu what you said: 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
[03:11] <gaspipe1> mneptok: in terminal?
[03:12] <gogeta> nickrud those eveil ops will probly ban we again when i sware at a windows noob
[03:12] <mneptok> gaspipe1: are you in the installer?
[03:12] <fevel> sorry hardy
[03:12] <gaspipe1> mneptok: yes
[03:12] <gogeta> :)
[03:12] <Zackymc_k> Jack_Sparrow: I ran updates right after i installed ubuntu 7.10... fresh install with nothing else then a wep key
[03:12] <mneptok> gaspipe1: ctl-alt-f6 will get you another vconsole
[03:12] <nickrud> gogeta yes, I might very well
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: why would you want to upgrade to a beta version of Linux?
[03:12] <fbc> gogeta, don't worry I swear at windows all the time..
[03:13] <Shadow420> yes keep anything hardy wise to #ubuntu+1 not here
[03:13] <gogeta> :P
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> zachrather odd..
[03:13]  * mneptok laughs at the Fedora Core 9 "New Firstboot" placeholder graphic
[03:13] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  My main system is 7.10 which I run virtualbox with a windows and another ubuntu virtually
[03:13] <nickrud> fbc if you haven't had an answer, yes you can
[03:13] <gogeta> fevel kinda exxesiv
[03:13] <fbc> nickrud, how?
[03:13] <mneptok> fevel: wait until release, then switch to KVM
[03:13] <Shadow420> fbc I use windows quite abit ubuntu I use for a change of pace
[03:14] <gogeta> 2 ubuntu
[03:14] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  now you see... the other ubuntu is because I need a special gtkpod version that comes on its repos
[03:14] <cirkit> hi ... is ubuntu is good alternative to windows vista?
[03:14] <fevel> for my ipod touch
[03:14] <Shadow420> I can't emulate another pc mine is to old and outdated
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: so you run an entire distribution just for a special verison of gtkpod?..
[03:14] <mneptok> Shadow420: grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
[03:15] <nickrud> fbc first, install compizconfig-settings-manager, then go to system->prefs->advanced desktop. ON there look for the animations button under effects
[03:15] <gogeta> cirkit dead monkeys area good alternitiv to vista
[03:15] <Cpudan80> fevel: But I mean - most all things come from some source - you could just compile it on ubuntu
[03:15] <cirkit> gogeta: where can I download that from?
[03:15] <Cpudan80> Be a man! use GCC! :-P
[03:15] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  its much simpler than compiling it from source. It has major issues
[03:15] <gogeta> lol
[03:15] <Zackymc_k> is there a terminal shutdown code to use... im fine with shuting down in terminal i just need to know how to do it   :)
[03:15] <Cpudan80> Actually real men use only binary
[03:15] <bazhang> mountainma1: one final thought; you are burning these as images right? and this is on windows? what app are you using? isorecorder2 does a very good job with that
[03:15] <gogeta> cirkit but anything in better then vista xp any linux
[03:16] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: sudo shutdown -h now
[03:16] <Cpudan80> But.... that's a bit too commando for most people
[03:16] <cirkit> anybody can help locate dead monkeys linux for downloading?
[03:16] <gogeta> cirkit ubuntu being the easy one :)
[03:16] <Daisuke_Ido> cirkit, it was a joke...
[03:16] <cirkit> ok
[03:16] <Daisuke_Ido> in other words, anything is a good alternative to vista :)
[03:16] <cirkit> ahh
[03:17] <gogeta> Daisuke_Ido lol he took dead monkeys as a distro lol
[03:17]  * mneptok waves the giant "OFFTOPIC!" flag
[03:17] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: Thanks

[03:17] <kona> hi - what is support channel for hardy heron?
[03:17] <jon_high9000> hi there. is there a quick way to set up a repository from Launch.net? i am having problems finding it (repositories) on Launchpad.
[03:17] <nickrud> kona #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[03:17] <gogeta> mneptok acully he asked if ubuntu was a alt
[03:17] <Shadow420> kona | !hardy
[03:17] <fbc> nickrud, cool i'm on it..
[03:17] <gogeta> mneptok ontopic
[03:17] <kona> is it ubuntu#1 ?
[03:17] <Shadow420> kona yes
[03:18] <mneptok> kona: #ubuntu+1
[03:18] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 kona
[03:18] <jon_high9000> additionally, I am on Ubuntu 7..10 FYI.
[03:18] <kona> bazhang: opps - thx much
[03:18] <Shadow420> I might make a partition to try out hardy but I am not sure
[03:18] <jon_high9000> 7.10
[03:18] <gogeta> Shadow420 i normaly run the late betas and final version
[03:19] <Shadow420> jon_high9000 you are in the right room
[03:19] <gogeta> Shadow420 being on dailhell  i gotta wait
[03:19] <jon_high9000> Glad to hear it. lol
[03:19] <mountainma1> bazhang: i haven't even got past the md5sum since the first cd i burned didn't work.  when i do md5sum on the mini.iso all i get is "no properly formed md5sums found" and no, i'm usuing another linux computer, and used a basic cd/dvd burner that comes up when i right click
[03:19] <nickrud> jon_high9000 the page for the ppa should have the right deb line on it
[03:19] <Shadow420> gogeta I know the feeling I used to be on dialup
[03:19] <gogeta> :-(
[03:20] <bazhang> mountainma1: you are burning as data or as an image? and the other distros you burned did you boot up into them?
[03:20] <gogeta> Shadow420 used to be brodband going back hurts
[03:20] <fbc> nickrud, there no ON check mark just and integration on... is that the one?
[03:20] <nickrud> gogeta seriously though, general chatter does belong in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:20] <jon_high9000> i am also a Noob.
[03:20] <Shadow420> gogeta what happen to your broadband?
[03:20] <Karger1978>  Hey, i tried to do X out though my pvr 350 and all i get on the is an XFace page, i can see my mouse like it's duel montior,  but if i drop and drag any app on it, no work.  Anyone have any ideas
[03:20] <nickrud> fbc not sure what you mean there
[03:21] <nickrud> gogeta i've got to get my tendency to drift under control, the next few weeks here are going to scrolling heck
[03:21] <LineOf7s> If I want to create an empty text file - like a log file that needs to be there so it can be updated etc - is the "touch" command the best tool for the job?
[03:21] <nickrud> LineOf7s yes
[03:21] <LineOf7s> Thankyou.
[03:22] <gogeta> nickrud heh i knoe moving this to offtopic
[03:22] <gogeta> .join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:22] <gogeta> lol oops
[03:22] <mountainma1> bazhang: i belive i was burning as an image...but now i'm not too sure.  i only burned one distro, and when i tried booting up with it i get the ubuntu live cd screen but when i choose install or start it takes me to an unusual shell of some sort.  but i've stopped trying to burn until the md5sum is figured out
[03:22] <jon_high9000> nickrud, any idea which you are referring to? Ubuntu`s site or Launchpad's?
[03:22] <nickrud> jon_high9000 I'm talking about launchpad ppa, personal package archives
[03:23] <gaspipe1> wow that was crazy (ctrl-alt f6)
[03:23] <mneptok> jon_high9000: what are you trying to do?
[03:23] <Shadow420> I am getting the Hardy beta to try it out
[03:23] <bazhang> mountainma1: how about downloading something like puppy linux (about 50MB) and see if that will boot?
[03:23] <jon_high9000> mneptok, i am trying to setup my repositories.
[03:23] <mountainma1> bazhang: problem is a friend had set me up on linux, and did all this stuff for me awhile back.  ok, what is puppy linux?
[03:24] <Shadow420> I will use #ubuntu+1 for support but I will come here to help people with gutsy
[03:24] <nickrud> !gutsysources | jon_high9000 if you're just trying to get good ubuntu sources, do this (you did mention ppa's to start ;)
[03:24] <ubotu> jon_high9000 if you're just trying to get good ubuntu sources, do this (you did mention ppa's to start ;): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[03:24] <jon_high9000> so far, i have medibuntu ppa
[03:24] <gogeta> Shadow420 well im in the offtopic channel now if you whanted a answer
[03:24] <Shadow420> gogeta ok I will got there now
[03:24] <bazhang> mountainma1: a very small linux distro that will allow you to check if you can boot any iso burned to cd; we can then rule out hardware issues mostly
[03:24] <mountainma1> bazhang: are you familiar at all with the BusyBox Built-in shell?
[03:24] <mneptok> jon_high9000: why do you need to set up repositories?
[03:24] <gogeta> Shadow420 oh you got the im
[03:24] <gogeta> nv
[03:25] <gaspipe1> bazhang: i have a total of 13234 free space on my HDD
[03:25] <nickrud> jon_high9000 ok, you should read some pages, I'll link you to them so you can get some fundamentals about repos. I'd strongly recommend sticking with the standard ubuntu ones (and maybe medibuntu) until you have a good feel for how the system works
[03:25] <nickrud> !components | jon_high9000
[03:25] <ubotu> jon_high9000: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[03:25] <jon_high9000> for extra insurance, just in case.
[03:25] <mneptok> jon_high9000: totally not necessary, and you stand a good chance of breaking your system
[03:25] <jon_high9000> if i need access to software on the fly.
[03:26] <bazhang> gaspipe1: okay; now you want to install correct?
[03:26] <mneptok> jon_high9000: the default repos give you that
[03:26] <gaspipe1> bazhang: yes
[03:26] <gaspipe1> bazhang: how much space should i allocate to the SWAP?
[03:26] <gaspipe1> btw what was that link for the dual xp and ubuntu install
[03:26] <bazhang> gaspipe1: well then go ahead, and if you get stuck we can help you through it--swap should be a gig or more, depending on how much ram you have
[03:27] <bazhang> gaspipe1: the ubuntu installer will see your xp install and include it in grub so no worries there
[03:29] <MAzeMiami> Hello people having an issue !! i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my server i am able to ping but cant ssh in ... any ideas ???
[03:30] <nickrud> MAzeMiami have you installed openssh-server ? Doesn't come standard
[03:30] <smplh> hi, I recently updated my linux installation and it changed my grub's menu.lst which means I've lost all my custom boot info...and unfortunately I don't remember what they were before...so I need to know how to find my drive partition info to set it up
[03:30] <gaspipe1> can the person who sent me the link for the dual boot xp and ubuntu pls send it again
[03:30] <nickrud> MAzeMiami erm, you said server ;(
[03:30] <gaspipe1> srry, had to reboot
[03:30] <MAzeMiami> not think so maybe thats the issue
[03:30] <gaspipe1> bazhang: i always feel like i'm doing this late at night w/out properlly looking into it
[03:30] <nickrud> smplh  sudo fdisk -l to determine partitions,   blkid to get the uuid's for the partitions
[03:31] <mneptok> nickrud: openssh-server is not standard for any Ubuntu
[03:31] <mountainma1> bazhang: doesn't the fact that the ubuntu live cd menu options come up from the live cd rule out hardware problems?  and when i select install or start, it takes me to a busy Box built-in shell
[03:31] <bazhang> http://howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty gaspipe1 (your scroll key broken? ;] )
[03:31] <nickrud> mneptok not for the server either? Never installed that
[03:31] <smplh> thanks :)
[03:31] <gaspipe1> bazhang: no, i had to reboot, lost everything
[03:32] <mneptok> nickrud: correct. unless you specify a LAMP install, no public facing daemons are installed with Ubuntu server
[03:32] <MAzeMiami> nickrud how do i install this ?
[03:32] <Orbixx_> Anyone got some spare default samba configs going?
[03:32] <mneptok> MAzeMiami: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:32] <nullbnx_> can you setup wpa on a wap?
[03:32] <bazhang> mountainma1: just trying to be complete here; trying to eliminate all possible reasons for problem--that busybox shell is not a good sign though
[03:32] <nickrud> mneptok ah, ok. that tells me a lot, thanks
[03:32] <Karger1978> Quick question. how do you change the x windows a specific display?
[03:32] <mneptok> nickrud: reduces potential exploitable vectors
[03:33] <nickrud> mneptok yes. Standard policy for desktop, didn't realize it was also the policy for server installs. So, the server install doesn't really include any servers by default
[03:33] <MrSteve> to use unetbootin... I install the second drive, format and partition it, as a Boot Drive?
[03:33] <bazhang> Karger1978: multiple displays?
[03:33] <uppp> i want help to install eclipse
[03:33] <Karger1978> yeah
[03:34] <MAzeMiami> nickrud do i need to be connected to install this ?
[03:34] <mneptok> nickrud: quite right
[03:34] <MAzeMiami> or is it a file that just need to exucuted
[03:34] <bazhang> MrSteve: what system is on there; the one you want to use unetbootin with
[03:34] <uppp> i want help to install eclipse
[03:34] <Karger1978> right now i have a display on my tv that says xfce
[03:34] <jon_high9000> nickrud, I plan backing up the basic repositories mainly to save time on downloading updates.
[03:34] <Karger1978> my monitor works
[03:34] <nickrud> uppp get a copy from eclipse.org , and untar it into /opt . Then sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse .  That's one way
[03:34] <MrSteve> bazhang XP is on c:\
[03:34] <nickrud> MAzeMiami yes, must be on line
[03:34] <mneptok> drive letters. how quaint.
[03:35] <bazhang> MrSteve: you considered wubi?
[03:35] <geZe> hi, my pc crashed twice today after it was in screensaver mode and I moved the mouse. There were no error messages, just a reboot. I looked in var/log/messages but I can't find any error their too. Any ideas?
[03:35] <MAzeMiami> ok
[03:35] <MrSteve> bazhang - got no burner
[03:35] <MAzeMiami> thank you
[03:35] <BrownDoggBrew> drive letters. how quaint, haha
[03:35] <yclian> geZe, happened to me. in the end I stopped using screensaver. lol ;)
[03:35] <Pelo> jon_high9000, your backup will  not be updated, you won'T be saving times on downloads
[03:35] <smplh> how does this look for my XP partition?:
[03:35] <smplh> title                        Windows XP Professional
[03:35] <smplh> root                       /dev/sda3
[03:35] <smplh> quiet
[03:35] <mneptok> geZe: got hardware 3D acceleration?
[03:35] <FloodBot1> smplh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:35] <nickrud> MAzeMiami erm, possibly the server is on the cd. I'm hazy on server installs, as you saw
[03:36] <mountainma1> bazhang: so still try the puppy distro?  on another train of thought--perhaps there can be something done to recover my previously running sys.  my problem was in trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10...something went wrong and when i boot up, the ubuntu screen comes up, but the screen goes a blue-green colour (as if in screensaver mode) before any login can happen.  perhaps there's something that can be done at a terminal level with that instead?  what do yo
[03:36] <Pelo> smplh, you need to add   chainloader +1  and savedefault
[03:36] <Pelo> smplh, before quiet
[03:36] <jon_high9000> Pelo, you have tried this then i take it?
[03:37] <nickrud> smplh and root should be (hd0,2) if it's on sda3
[03:37] <MrSteve> So.. I need to install a second hard disk, and make it formatted, and make it bootable?
[03:37] <bazhang> mountainma1: something went wrong? you stopped the install process mid-stream? power outage? could you  specify?
[03:37] <zero> hey i have a folder i can't delete from trash, can anyone tel me how to fix this?
[03:37] <smplh> oh ok, thanks
[03:37] <Pelo> jon_high9000,  the point of the repos is that they get updated,  once you make a backup of it , what ever get updated after you made the backup you will need to download anyway
[03:38] <geZe> mneptok, just "ati accelerated graphics driver"
[03:38] <nickrud> zero ls -l ~/.Trash , if it's owned by root, sudo rm -r ~/.Trash/<foldername>
[03:38] <zero88> What would i use to encrypt data travelling over my network
[03:39] <MrSteve> I need to install Ubuntu on a second hard disk, I have XP on c:, and unetbootin, no burner.
[03:39] <zero> thanks
[03:39] <mountainma1> bazhang: i wish i could specify.  all i know is that i let it run overnight. "it" being the update.  i was working on it some, wordprocessing, email etc.  noticed only a couple of things different.  i then shut it down. next time i went to use it, the ubuntu start-up screen appeared but then didn't log in (as described above)
[03:39] <nickrud> zero a reason to avoid sudo nautilus
[03:39] <jon_high9000> Pelo, fair enough, thank you for the heads up on this issue. I am very new at this. still learning.
[03:39] <Itaku> how do i sync my time with the internet servers?
[03:40] <mountainma1> bazhang: i thought it would be easier to just make a liveCD and take it to the computer and start over....but so far that has not been the case...
[03:40] <nickrud> Itaku right click the clock on the panel, and select adjust time
[03:40] <bwayne> Itaku: you can use a prgram called 'ntp'.
[03:40] <Pelo> jon_high9000, you can always get the dvd , it has the full main and universe repositories on it,  that woud save time if you use it of install on multiple computers, or if you have to install on computers that are not connected
[03:40] <Itaku> nickrud: when i select sync with internet server it says i neep ntp which i got
[03:40] <zero> nickrud, yeah i didnt use any special commands, it was a DSL ISO i downloaded
[03:41] <Itaku> bwayne: i got it
[03:41] <nickrud> Itaku did you select a time server ?
[03:41] <Itaku> how?
[03:41] <mountainma1> bazhang: i wonder if trying a different distro, like xubuntu would help?
[03:41] <Pelo> Itaku, the ccalendar/clock in the top panel on the right ,  right click , set time , you can select time severs from there
[03:41] <nickrud> Itaku hit the select servers button
[03:41] <jon_high9000> Pelo, you referring to the Live CD?
[03:41] <linkinxp> buenas noches :)
[03:41] <Pelo> jon_high9000, the live DVD , it's 4 gig however
[03:41] <Itaku> time zone?
[03:41] <bazhang> mountainma1: well your choice what you wish to try really; something small and see if it boots would be my recommendation to rule out hardware issues
[03:41] <Itaku> wheres that button?
[03:42] <Itaku> im using gnome
[03:42] <mneptok> Itaku: sudo ntpdate time.berkeley.netdot.net
[03:42] <bwayne>  /etc/ntp.conf should have a list of commented servers as well.
[03:42] <Pelo> jon_high9000, but same as with the backup thing you were mentionning,  if new versions of these packages come out you will need to get those online as well
[03:42] <jon_high9000> Pelo, I understand.
[03:42] <nickrud> Itaku it'll take some time to bring your time into sync. And no, it's on the same window you get when you select ajust time, at the bottom
[03:42] <geZe> yclian, did you use a custom screensaver? or just a black one?
[03:42] <Itaku> 15 Apr 22:42:26 ntpdate[9877]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[03:42] <yclian> geZe, my guess is that there's a 3D issue. I use random screenies.
[03:42] <bazhang> Itaku: you are synced!
[03:43] <yclian> *used.
[03:43] <nickrud> Itaku that means you're in sync (or skewing towards it, slowly)
[03:43] <tawt> why is it that when i now go to youtube, i get a grey box where the vid should be?  i've had this problem for about 5 minutes now and i have been able to watch youtube before this.
[03:43] <Itaku> nickrud: i got ntp running and when i select keep synced with servers it says its not installed
[03:43] <geZe> mh, i just use the default black one
[03:43] <jon_high9000> Pelo, APTonCD
[03:43] <yclian> geZe, oh :-)
[03:43] <nullbnx_> how would i be able to monitor what computers are connecting through my server?
[03:43] <Pelo> twat issue with youtube maybe ?
[03:43] <geZe> would be kinda weird to have a 3d issue with that :D
[03:43] <tawt> maybe
[03:43] <mneptok> Itaku: then you installed ntpd, and it is running
[03:43] <bazhang> jon_high9000: just mirror the repos; only 45GB
[03:44] <jrib> tawt: 64bit version of ubuntu?
[03:44] <mneptok> Itaku: stop picking at it :)
[03:44] <MrSteve> I need to install Ubuntu on a second hard disk, I have XP on c:, and unetbootin, no burner.
[03:44] <tawt> jrib yes
[03:44] <jrib> tawt: npviewer crashed.  Kill your browser and try again
[03:44] <tawt> jrib ok, thanks
[03:44] <nickrud> Itaku that's very odd, I think you're looking at things wrong.  ps -A | grep ntp , is it running?
[03:44] <Pelo> jon_high9000, aptoncd is a way to create cd repositories from pacakges you'Ve downloaded,  usefull if you need to carry packages taht are not in the main and universe repos or if you have downloaded .deb packages from other sources
[03:45] <Pelo> jon_high9000, just to make sure I am upto speed here, what do you intend to do exactly ?
[03:45] <nickrud> mneptok hahaha, a good line I'm gonna steal that one
[03:45] <Itaku> got it
[03:45] <Itaku> thanks
[03:45] <bazhang> !yay | Itaku
[03:45] <ubotu> Itaku: Glad you made it! :-)
[03:46] <MrSteve> Do I install the second drive as secondary master, partition it.. what?  As a Boot drive?
[03:47] <jon_high9000> Pelo, i was merely mentioning the software aptoncd cause it somewhat parallels another program that copies the Ubuntu repo's
[03:47] <nickrud> MrSteve no clue about unetbootin, but when you get the installer running, just point it at the second drive as free space, and the installer will take it from there. And it will leave c:\ (ew, driver letter ;) alone
[03:47] <Pelo> MrSteve, depends on how you plug it in ,  if you put it on the same strap as your other hdd, then  put it as slave , partition it how ever you want
[03:48] <Pelo> jon_high9000, I used aptoncd to make a cd of a butload of apps for my aunt that is not connected to the internet so she could have games and stuff that wasn'T on the install cd,  if that gives you an idea of it's use
[03:48] <MrSteve> I think it has to be secondary master... same ribbon
[03:49] <MrSteve> But, xp will not boot the second disk..
[03:49] <nickrud> MrSteve same ribbon, then it's the slave. Other ribbon, it can be master
[03:49] <Pelo> MrSteve, same ribbon , primary slave,   differennt ribbon secondayr master
[03:49] <MrSteve> nothing will be on it
[03:49] <jon_high9000> Pelo, Wow!
[03:49] <Pelo> MrSteve, you can boot xp on a second hdd you just need to mess with grub a little
[03:49] <mneptok> MrSteve: Windows must always be on the primary disk on an IDE chain
[03:49] <jon_high9000> not worth using then.
[03:50] <MrSteve> okay.. that is help.. the cd-rom is on the second ribbon, ithink
[03:50] <Pelo> MrSteve, ignore my last comment
[03:50] <MrSteve> yes mnemo - it is on there
[03:50] <nickrud> jon_high9000 if you're really serious about building a cache of packages, you should look at apt-mirror. If you google it, there's a lot of howto's
[03:50] <Pelo> jon_high9000, well , you can use it to make a backup of packages from third party source but not for what you seem to have in mind
[03:50] <MrSteve> yes mneptok -- it is on there
[03:51] <jon_high9000> Pelo, I understand the next version of Ubuntu (8.04) is to be released on April 24th.
[03:51] <MrSteve> so.. this hard disk is Maxtor.. do I tell it to format the new drive fat.. and make it bootable?
[03:51] <Pelo> jon_high9000, yes
[03:52] <ryanzec> i tried doing rm -Rf *.wav but it does not remove all wav  files, how can i do that in one command?
[03:52] <ryanzec> i am doing that in my Music folder BTW
[03:52] <gokorn> http://rafb.net/p/Z1WzKt35.html
[03:52] <jon_high9000> i might wait and download that and try it out on the 24th.
[03:52] <gokorn> what m i doing wrong?
[03:53] <xugang> hello ervery body
[03:53] <nickrud> MrSteve it will be formatted as ext3 , not any windows style format.
[03:53] <Pelo> jon_high9000,  on the 24th you will be given the option to upgrade online,  you wont, have to reinstall if you instll gutsy now
[03:53] <MrSteve> nickrud so, I tell the Maxtor software to make drive 2, ext3
[03:53] <nickrud> MrSteve you would be best off just making sure the bios can see the drive properly (unformatted) and starting the install
[03:53] <jon_high9000> cool.
[03:54] <Pelo> gokorn, can you summerize the problem here first , it's a busy channel we don'T open random links for fun
[03:54] <Orbixx_> nickrud: I decided to install proftpd integrated into inetd (something I've never done before, always gone for solo daemon).
[03:54] <MrSteve> "completely confused"
[03:55] <Orbixx_> It reports it's running - but I can't seem to make a connection.
[03:55] <rendero>  hello, i noticed web pages waits a long time, sometimes are timed out, when more than 8 pcs are connected to squid , is it normal ? how do i do to optimize ?
[03:55] <Orbixx_> I can only assume inetd isn't running or something like that.
[03:55] <Pelo> MrSteve, plug the new hdd in,  boot up the computer, go into ubuntu,  start gparted,  locate the new hdd,  add partiton table,  make new partions apply
[03:55] <nickrud> MrSteve the installer will handle the formatting of the disk, you don't need to use the maxtor software. After you start the computer, press f2 or delete or whatever it takes to get into the bios, and see if the disk is recognized. If it is, just go on to the installer
[03:56] <bazhang> MrSteve: no cd drive right? this is via unetbootin you want to do it correct?
[03:56] <Pelo> rendero, maybe your 8 pcs consume to much bandwith
[03:56] <pitr256> rendero: you might want to discuss on a squid channel or something.
[03:56] <nickrud> MrSteve and continue with Pelo 's instructions
[03:56] <MrSteve> bazhang Well.. I got no CD..
[03:56] <MrSteve> bazhang I downloaded the ISO
[03:56] <MrSteve> the ISO is on winders drive
[03:57] <bazhang> MrSteve: no cd or no cd drive
[03:57] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I was also told about LiLo Wubi and Unetbootin
[03:57] <MrSteve> bazhang -- no burner, just cd-rom
[03:57] <rendero> Pelo, i thought, may be i am wrong, that it does not matter in 8 pcs ? what about so much more ? is not squid for so many pcs ? is there another program doing the same ?
[03:58] <bazhang> MrSteve: you mean lubi wubi and unetbootin right?
[03:58] <pitr256> rendero, what kind of hardware is squid on?
[03:58] <jon_high9000>  Pelo,  For what it is worth, thank you very much for your help this evening.
[03:58] <rendero> pitr256, may be that is the problem a 64mb ram pc :S
[03:58] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I like the fact Unetbootin is installing from the net, cas I got no cd burnt to do it
[03:59] <pitr256> rendero, and processor and network link?
[03:59] <MrSteve> bazhang -- However.. I had a Burner (it broke) and I have Nero 5
[03:59] <thc_oi> hi there
[04:00] <Pelo> rendero, I'm not sure what squid is but the most likely reason for pages timing out and stuff is that the info is not transfering,   this might be caused by other applications eating up all your bandwith,  which is likely if you have 8 computers doing some online thing at the same time on the same connection
[04:00] <rendero> pitr256, i think an old processor, sorry i can tell you more, but may be you are thinking about the same i thought, that servers requires a more powerfool pc
[04:00] <thc_oi> i just released easyhotspot few weeks ago
[04:00] <thc_oi> http://easyhotspot.sourceforge.net
[04:00] <Pelo> jon_high9000, my help isn'T worth much, ask anyone , but I 'm glad i could be of some small service
[04:00] <thc_oi> based on xubuntu
[04:00] <Pelo> thc_oi, what is easyhotpsot ?
[04:00] <nickrud> thc_oi please don't advertise on #ubuntu, it's more likely welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic (maybe)
[04:01] <thc_oi> ok
[04:01] <thc_oi> sorry
[04:01] <jon_high9000> Pelo, ok good night. take care.
[04:01] <pitr256> rendero, squid is quite capable of handle thousands of PCs behind it. The hardware it's running on will be the limiting factor
[04:01] <bazhang> http://www.linux.com/feature/124684 MrSteve have you read this yet?
[04:01] <pitr256> rendero, if it's on Linux, run top while the users are on it
[04:01] <rendero> Pelo, but i think 8 pcs just surfing the web does not have to be a problem about bandwidth
[04:02] <Pelo> rendero, you would be surprised
[04:03] <Pelo> thc_oi, I just went to your website ,  have you ever heard of "contrast" ?
[04:03] <nickrud> one pc doing torrents can drag down a mediocre dsl
[04:03] <bazhang> MrSteve: you will likely want the exe for your windows machine to get unetbootin going
[04:03] <mehal88> i need some help setting up dual screens in hardy
[04:03] <nickrud> mehal88 #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[04:03] <Pelo> mehal88, ask in #ubuntu+1 and read this
[04:03] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 plese mehal88
[04:03] <mehal88> okay thanks
[04:03] <Pelo> !dualhead > mehal88 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[04:04] <zero88> anyone know if the program JAHSHAKA is in the repoes?
[04:04] <Pelo> zero88, just check ,  menu > system > admin > synaptic
[04:05] <zero88> pelo thanks. i heard somewhere you had to add a repo to your list tho. but i cant find where
[04:05] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I read the UnetBootin website at sourceForge..
[04:06] <bazhang> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198821 on this page MrSteve scroll down for the exe file
[04:06] <Zelta> Help! .mp3 files often cause my media players to freeze up.
[04:06] <Pelo> zero88, check in the menus of synaptic, find the entry for repositories, click,   check all the boxes on the first and 3rd tab , close and relaod, search again

[04:06] <MrSteve> bazhang -- a bit confused because in the past, I installed a drive and formatted it, then partitioned it.
[04:06] <nickrud> zero88 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590060
[04:06] <bazhang> MrSteve: the linux.com has a good overview
[04:06] <Zelta> Pelo: I have .mp3 codecs working, but occasionally it will cause my media player to freeze
[04:06] <Pelo> MrSteve, prtition then format but gparted does both at the same time so no worries
[04:07] <MrSteve> bazhang will the unetbootin format the second drive for me.. in the install?
[04:07] <Pelo> Zelta, it might be a bad file
[04:07] <zero88> thanks nickrud , Pelo
[04:07] <fevel> canI umount every filesystem for editing?
[04:07] <bazhang> MrSteve: you read the link? all is explained there

[04:07] <mountainma1> bazhang: thanks so much for your help.  the mini.iso appears to be working now...so far... thank you thank you thank you!
[04:07] <nickrud> fevel depends on if you're using that partition. You cannot unmount the  /   partition

[04:08] <MrSteve> haha, that's soo rad
[04:08] <nickrud> linkinxp usually as a modifier for another key, like windows-e . It's also known as Super and Mod4
[04:08] <Zelta> It is a problem with the codec, I believe
[04:08] <Pelo> MrSteve, sand the little widows logo off that's what I ddi
[04:08] <zero88> I know Linux doesnt really need anything more then something liek Firestarter. But i was wondering if there was something along the lines of ZoneAlarm Security Suite out there for linux?
[04:08] <Zelta> Is there a way I can reinstall the codec?
[04:08] <linkinxp> nickrud:  mmm ok thanks

[04:09] <slowlearner> hi can anyone help me upgrade to gutsy,. i'm having problem upgrading via the commandline. It just goes on but never upgrades
[04:09] <bazhang> zero88: you can get avast linux version for viruses; for firewalls then iptables (firestarter as a frontend) is it
[04:10] <zero88> slowlearner: youll be much happier to backup your files and do a fresh install with KDE :)
[04:10] <MrSteve> bazhang oh great.. I use avast already

[04:10] <ritalin> hey
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> well
[04:10] <bazhang> Zelta: yeah to the wierd repos and third party scripts question?
[04:10] <slowlearner> zero88 i have a server, not desktop

[04:10] <bwayne> best is to use the astaro free edition on it's own dedicated box or in a VM.
[04:10] <ritalin> how do i enable root?
[04:10] <Zelta> yes bazhang
[04:10] <FloodBot1> ritalin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:10] <Zelta> see ^
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> ok
[04:10] <zero88> bazhang: hah! didnt know avast had a version for Linux? Have you tried it?
[04:10] <ritalin> !root
[04:10] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> thanks
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> ^^
[04:10] <Pelo> Zelta, just do what I told you to do , no need to play with automatix

[04:11] <bwayne> ritalin: no root for you!
[04:11] <nickrud> ritalin sudo -i , you get a root terminal that way

[04:11] <ritalin> the real deal
[04:11] <ritalin> is it possible?
[04:11] <ggeecko> does root-tail work with gnome
[04:11] <nicolas_> hello
[04:11] <Pelo> Zelta,  the package for flash is flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic as well
[04:11] <bazhang> Zelta: could you please pastebin your sources.list?
[04:11] <bwayne> ritalin: doing that puts you in Ubuntu unsupported mode.  :-)
[04:11] <Zelta> okay bazhang
[04:11] <zero88> bazhang: ya true. I was just looking for something to real-time monitor intrusions or attacks.
[04:11] <Pelo> ritalin,  not in ubuntu I dont think
[04:11] <nickrud> ritalin of course. sudo -i , and set a password. However, we don't support that usage
[04:11] <amunra> If Windows is installed on "Sda2" and Linux is on "Sda1" - do I put (hd0,1) in Grub for Windows?
[04:12] <Orbixx_> How does one get the cube to appear for Compiz now it's set up?
[04:12] <Pelo> amunra, yes
[04:12] <Orbixx_> It's enabled.
[04:12] <Pelo> Orbixx_, ask in #compiz
[04:12] <nickrud> ritalin try sudo -i for a bit, you'll see you're just fine
[04:12] <ggeecko> does root-tail work with gnome
[04:12] <amunra> Pelo: Thanks :)
[04:12] <swuboo> Orbixx_:  You have to set the settings in the cube rotation plugin.
[04:12]  * zero88 Yells "GO LACKERS!"
[04:12] <amunra> Now... let's give it a try :)
[04:12] <bazhang> zero88: in the next release you can get se linux and app armor if you are truly worried
[04:12]  * zero88 Yells "GO LAKERS!*"
[04:12] <tritium> zero88: please stop on topic
[04:12] <Pelo> amunra, there is mor to it then that , pastebin your menu.lst file so I can take a look
[04:13] <Zelta> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63376/
[04:13] <nickrud> ggeecko probably not, since it writes to the root X window, and gnome uses a window laid over the root to draw the desktop
[04:13] <slowlearner> hi can anyone help me upgrade to gutsy,. i'm having problem upgrading via the commandline. It just goes on but never upgrades
[04:13] <zero88> bazhang: why cant i get them now. Im not really worried but i would like to have that in case. You never know..

[04:13] <nickrud> slowlearner have you tried sudo update-manager -c , it's a good method for a slow learner ;)
[04:14] <slowlearner> Pelo upgrading, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to
[04:14] <bazhang> Zelta:  automatix? why?
[04:14] <Pelo> slowlearner,  what version of ubuntu is on your computer rght now ?
[04:14] <slowlearner> nickrud i did sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release
[04:14] <Zelta> bazhang: [22:10]	<Zelta>	Pelo: I had used Automatix2 (stupid, I know) to install multimedia codecs. Should I first uninstall automatix2 and everything I installed with it?
[04:14] <tripps>  /j #firefox
[04:14] <slowlearner> Pelo 7.04
[04:14] <ggeecko> nickrud: can you suggest something similar that will work with gnome
[04:14] <Zelta> (Sorry for highlighting, Pelo)
[04:14] <tripps> oops ;0
[04:14] <nickrud> slowlearner gutsy is not a devel release ;)
[04:15] <Pelo> slowlearner, recheck the info in te links I 'm gonna give you
[04:15] <Pelo> !upgrade | slowlearner
[04:15] <ubotu> slowlearner: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:15] <bazhang> Zelta: automatix is a system breaker; best to back up and reinstall
[04:15] <nickrud> ggeecko I think some people use conky for that
[04:15] <slowlearner> nickrud i did ommit the --devel-release but same thing happens
[04:15] <zero88> bazhang: it seems Kubuntu already comes with Apparmor. How do i run it sence apparmor in a terminal doesnt work
[04:15] <nickrud> slowlearner take a look at the page pelo gave you
[04:15] <Zelta> bazhang: How should I go about installing necessary codecs?  Is there a documentation page for it?
[04:16] <slowlearner> nickrud, Pelo that's what ive been following
[04:16] <bazhang> zelta ubuntu-restricted-extras for gnome, and perhaps two packages from medibuntu
[04:16] <nickrud> slowlearner you are on feisty, right?
[04:16] <slowlearner> nickrud yes
[04:16] <Zelta> okay, bazhang.
[04:16] <nickrud> slowlearner put the error you get on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:16] <mountainma1> bazhang: surprise surprise, i'm back
[04:16] <Zelta> I don't feel like starting over now, I'll do it later
[04:16] <bazhang> mountainma1: how did it go?
[04:17] <Pelo> afk
[04:17] <slowlearner> nickrud http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63377/
[04:17] <bazhang> Zelta: until you get rid of all the damage automatix has caused (reinstall) then you will get more breakage--just a word of warning
[04:18] <sb> quick noob question here, im downloading the iso onto my desktop now to ubunt-ize my old laptop. When i put the burned CD in the laptop will it have an option for deleting XP?
[04:18] <slowlearner> Pelo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63377/
[04:18] <Zelta> bazhang: I know.  I am going to reinstall before doing anything else.
[04:18] <friedtofu> sb - you can reformat
[04:18] <bazhang> sb yes just choose use entire hard drive
[04:18] <sb> thanks, wish me luck, ill probably be back in 20 minutes
[04:18] <Pelo> slowlearner,  nickrud  is the one that asked for the error
[04:19] <slowlearner> Pelo , nickrud think i know the answer, but i don't know how to solve it.. at one point it's asking for confirmation, but doesnt give a prompt
[04:19] <bazhang> mountainma1: I have to go away for a bit; the fine folks here can no doubt answer any questions you have
[04:19] <slowlearner> Pelo , there are no errors. It just aborts
[04:19] <mountainma1> bazhang: thanks again
[04:19] <mountainma1> help to partition anyone??
[04:20] <bazhang> no worries mountainma1 ;]
[04:20] <Pelo> slowlearner,  go in  menu > system > admn > software sources,  check all the boxes on the first and 3rd tab and uncheck all the boxes on the second tab,  and  , relaod and then try upgrading again
[04:20] <slowlearner> Pelo this is a server install
[04:21] <Pelo> slowlearner, /etc/apt/sources.lst , , pastebin it so we can have a look
[04:21] <nickrud> slowlearner phone brb
[04:22] <Jeriath> anyone know where this is coming from: "mount error 112 = Host is down". I havn't changed any settings. I know my syntax is correct as it was working an hour ago and for the past few months
[04:22] <godd4242> whatsup boys
[04:22] <Pelo> mountainma1,  sudo apt-get install gparted,  then open gparted and have fun, unless you are trying to repartiotn your currnt hdd, then you need to use the live cd
[04:22] <Jeriath> im trying to mount using cifs
[04:22] <godd4242> can anyone give me some help with a depenency error with libgpod 0.6.0
[04:22] <mountainma1> pelo: sorry, yes i'm using the live cd.  i have the following options: (all are guided except for an independent manual one): resice SCSI1- partion #2, use entire disk, use entire disk and set up LVM, use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
[04:23] <Pelo> godd4242, look in synaptic search for gpod  also install the related -dev pacakge
[04:23] <godd4242> Pelo: thank you kind sir
[04:23] <Pelo> mountainma1,  this is a new install of ubuntu ?
[04:23] <slowlearner> Pelo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63378/
[04:24] <Pelo> slowlearner, hold on
[04:24] <godd4242> Pelo: the only ones i see up there are libgpod 0.5.2-2
[04:24] <godd4242> go ahead anyways?
[04:24] <mountainma1> pelo: no i've been running ubuntu, but something screwed up big when i tried upgrading to 7.10--so i've managed to figure out to use a mini.iso live cd
[04:24] <Pelo> godd4242, you'll need to get the 0.6 one I'm afraid , no idea where,  try gogle or the site where you got the source for the install you are doing
[04:25] <Pelo> mountainma1, what't the point of the partitonning you are trying to do then  ?
[04:25] <godd4242> Pelo: well the .deb runs into a dependency error with libc6 which is what i'm trying to resolve
[04:25] <godd4242> and compiling is actually broken, misaligned code lines near the end
[04:26] <Pelo> godd4242, sorry I can't help with that one
[04:26] <godd4242> Pelo: no worries thanks for trying
[04:26] <mountainma1> pelo: uh...i don't know, it came up with the live cd (i've never installed linux, a friend got me set up on it).  so i don't know which i need to choose
[04:26] <mountainma1> pelo: i guess the point is that whatever happened wasn't workign, so i'm starting over
[04:27] <hunteke> what's the trick to tell dovecot to notify clients of new mail immediately when it arrives?
[04:27] <Pelo> slowlearner, uncomment lines 40 and 41 ,save and try again
[04:27] <Pelo> mountainma1, the cd you have  is for installing ubuntu on a computer, are you trying to do that ?
[04:27] <mountainma1> pelo: yes, i'm trying to reinstall and start over
[04:27] <slowlearner> Pelo, ok
[04:28] <Pelo> mountainma1, then use manual partitionning and when asked point the isntaller to wherer your curent intall of ubuntu is so it installs over it
[04:28] <Pelo> slowlearner,  no promises
[04:28] <Markov> Hey'a. Does anyone know of any software synthesizer for Ubuntu? Something where I can start with a plain sine wave and apply a series of envelopes etc to get a new sound... ?
[04:29] <MrSteve> mark[oz] try audacity?
[04:29] <mountainma1> pelo: how do i determine where my current install of ubuntu is?
[04:29] <Pelo> Markov, check in add/remove in the applications menu
[04:29] <MrSteve> uhm
[04:29] <Pelo> mountainma1, it will be an ext3 partiton
[04:29] <JPSman> mointainmal: system -> About Ubuntu
[04:29] <JPSman> mountainmal: system -> About Ubuntu
[04:30] <Thakar> This may be a stupid question, but do you need a very powerful computer to run Ubuntu?
[04:30] <Pelo> JPSman, he's trying to install over his current install of ubuntu
[04:30] <Thakar> I was thinking about loading it on my laptop, but it's a bit old
[04:30] <MrSteve> just installed Audacity.. rather nifty..
[04:30] <Fa> not really
[04:30] <Pelo> Thakar, no,   128 m ram  will do
[04:30] <Zelta> No, Thakar, but if you have VERY old hardware, you probably want a lighter system.
[04:30] <ethan961> MrSteve, try ardour
[04:30] <JPSman> Thakar: what is your laptops specs?
[04:30] <matthew> Hello everyone
[04:30] <Pelo> Thakar, what machine do you have atm ?
[04:30] <Zelta> Ubuntu can even run on P2 systems (albeit cut down)
[04:30] <mountainma1> jpsman:thanks tho
[04:30] <MrSteve> will do that ethan961
[04:30] <evilbug> hey.
[04:30] <Pelo> hello matthew
[04:30] <JPSman> :OD
[04:31] <Thakar> Not really sure, actually..it's been at least a year since I even turned the machine on
[04:31]  * Pelo sprais evilbug 
[04:31] <Thakar> But it's about a three year old laptop...maybe four.
[04:31] <matthew> I just switched to using ubuntu (and linux in general for that matter)
[04:31] <mountainma1> pelo: uh-oh, i get an error that says no root file system is defined....
[04:31] <Pelo> Thakar, should be strong enough
[04:31] <aday> hi
[04:31] <mountainma1> pelo: do i just continue, or is there something i can change?
[04:32] <slowlearner> Pelo still doesn't work
[04:32] <Pelo> mountainma1,  back step out of the installer back to the desktop
[04:32] <Pelo> slowlearner, hmmm,  would you consider a clean install ?
[04:32] <xiaowu> why
[04:32] <mountainma1> pelo. i don't have a desktop availiable.  that's why i'm trying to reinstall everything.  it's all buggered up
[04:32] <slowlearner> Pelo that would be last in the options
[04:33] <mountainma1> pelo: i can't log-in, i get the ubuntu startup screen and then a void of green-blue
[04:33] <Pelo> mountainma1,  I mean to the live cd desktop , unless you are unsing the atlternate cd
[04:33] <matthew> im liking the command line i have a feeling its gonna be my best friend :D
[04:33] <w30> Thakar, check out Xubuntu for a lighter weight desktop load
[04:33] <mountainma1> pelo: so abort?  or to the installer main menu
[04:33] <kelvin911> guys does ubuntu support p4q2?
[04:34] <Pelo> slowlearner, there is probably a way to get that working but it's over my head I'm afraid,  try asking again periodicaly , someone else might know,  start by stating you want to upgrade a server
[04:34] <Pelo> mountainma1,  about the installl and get back to the live cd desktop
[04:34] <slowlearner> Pelo ok, thanks anyway
[04:35] <Pelo> slowlearner, some small advice,  next time , don't wait 6 monhts to upgrade
[04:35] <dmsuperman> I have an ISO that's 6gb, but no dual layer disks. How can I split this ISO into 2 files and burn them to disks so they can be recombined later?
[04:35] <Pelo> dmsuperman, iso of what ?
[04:35] <kelvin911> does ubuntu support P4 quad 2 cpu?
[04:35] <dmsuperman> Pelo, any ISO
[04:35] <ethan961> kelvin911: yes
[04:35] <Pelo> kelvin911, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:35] <dubby> hey how do i check my motherboard model?
[04:35] <dubby> what command
[04:35] <matthew> kelvin, yes it does, im running dual p4 right now
[04:36] <Pelo> dmsuperman,  knowing the content of the iso might help me tell you what you can do with it , the sugestion I have will not work for a bootable media
[04:36] <mountainma1> pelo: ok, i've got ubuntu title and boot: "for default installation, press enter" "to install only the command-line base system...."
[04:36] <slowlearner> Pelo, it's kinda dangerous when you upgrade the first thing updates come up.. usually serious bugs come with them
[04:36] <nickrud> slowlearner comment out the cdrom line 5 , try again
[04:36] <kelvin911> what about windows XP?
[04:36] <kelvin911> does xp support quad 2?
[04:36] <matthew> yah
[04:36] <Pelo> kelvin911, ask in ##windows
[04:37] <Pelo> mountainma1, , please answer this queiston,   do you have the live cd or the alternate install cd ?
[04:37] <MrSteve> isoBuster?
[04:37] <dmsuperman> Pelo, alright, not bootable :D
[04:37] <Pelo> dmsuperman, you can extract an iso file with fileroller,   just like anyother archive,  you can then split the files between two dvd if youwant
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Pelo, actually, that won't work. Is there anyway to split the ISO file itself?
[04:38] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to run an iso image in vmware ?
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, just in the cdrom choose mount image
[04:38] <Pelo> dmsuperman, not that I know of
[04:38] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a video input card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:38] <Mr_Bad_News> i dont have any blank cd's to burn it dmsuperman
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Pelo, does ubuntu have a good 7zip program of any sort?
[04:38] <Pelo> dmsuperman, unless fileroller lets you make a split archive
[04:38] <kelvin911> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport where does ti say about cpu?
[04:39] <matthew> can anyone tell me how to get to my gcc compiler? i'm thinking command line but im not sure
[04:39] <Mr_Bad_News> its on my harddrive
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, like i said, for cd rom choose mount
[04:39] <Pelo> dmsuperman, fileroller
[04:39] <Mr_Bad_News> ok
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Pelo, my thoughts exactly. is fileroller on it by default? and once i have those, how do i burn the data dvd?
[04:39] <slowlearner> nickrud ok, i'm changing sources right now and updating.. be back in a bit
[04:39] <Orbixx_> I would like to announce my new-found love for Ubuntu!
[04:39] <godd4242> OH SNAP
[04:39] <godd4242> I JUST FUCKING KICKED APPLES ASS
[04:39] <mountainma1> pelo: i have the minimal cd, i'm not sure which this is.  i had a TON of problems getting an iso of the ubuntu 7.10 that wasn't corrupt (tried different mirrors, torrents, etc).  so far this minimal one is all that has worked. downloaded from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[04:39] <Orbixx_> !language godd4242
[04:39] <godd4242> IS THIS A 6TH GEN IPOD PLAYING MY MUSIC
[04:39] <godd4242> I THINK SO
[04:39] <nickrud> dmsuperman apt-get install p7zip-full , and you can use file-roller as the front end
[04:40] <Cpudan80> !ohmy | godd4242
[04:40] <ubotu> godd4242: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:40] <Pelo> dmsuperman, fileroller is the archinve manager default in ubuntu ,  you can add zip , 7zip rar support from synaptic
[04:40] <nickrud> godd4242 coolit
[04:40] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a video input card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:40] <godd4242> Orbixx_: you don't know how pumped i am
[04:40] <godd4242> i could like
[04:40] <godd4242> dude
[04:40] <godd4242> i could like do something crazy
[04:40] <FloodBot1> godd4242: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:40] <nickrud> godd4242 #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to crow ;)
[04:40] <Orbixx_> godd4242: You have an Apple product - therefore inherently, you fail. HARD.
[04:40] <Pelo> mountainma1, ok so basicaly it's command line only ?
[04:40] <godd4242> o zing
[04:40] <godd4242> Orbixx_: you get your machine with an OEM windows?
[04:40] <dmsuperman> and then to burn it?
[04:41] <Orbixx_> godd4242: Custom built.
[04:41] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a tv tuner card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:41] <godd4242> Orbixx_: props kid, i built an xp back a while back but my brother poured milk in it to spite me. That was a good machine
[04:41] <godd4242> anyways i have to wake up
[04:41] <Pelo> mountainma1, , do you hve any other operatiing system on the computer ? windows other linux ?
[04:41] <godd4242> in 30 minutes, so i'll get going
[04:41] <matthew> can someone lend me a hand figuring out how to get a C++ compiler for ubuntu?
[04:42] <Orbixx_> matthew: sudo apt-get install gcc
[04:42] <nickrud> matthew sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:42] <Orbixx_> Or that.
[04:42] <matthew> oh man... i stink at making choices
[04:42] <mountainma1> pelo: unless i'm understanding it wrong...there is an option for command-line or default installation.  i originally chose default, which brought me to the partitioning question.  no windows, and the ubuntu 7.04 i was running is no longer working
[04:42] <MrSteve> gcc.. yeah, I got that now
[04:42] <nickrud> Orbixx_ build-essential gets make, and a few other things as well as gcc
[04:42] <slowlearner> matthew sudo-get install g++
[04:42] <lolo> quit
[04:42] <Orbixx_> build-essential should cover you for most things.
[04:42] <matthew> more choices lol
[04:42] <Orbixx_> I see.
[04:42] <slowlearner> matthew sudo apt-get install g++
[04:43] <matthew> hmm
[04:43] <Mr_Bad_News> dmsuperman, could you walk me through it , im retarded
[04:43] <matthew> heck ill get all 3
[04:43] <nickrud> matthew only one rational choice:  build-essential . Don't listen to the others ;)
[04:43] <Orbixx_> matthew: Your best bet lies with build-essential
[04:43] <Pelo> mountainma1, so basicaly we can use the whole hdd to install ubuntu on ?
[04:43] <MrSteve> me says.. cygwin, and got gcc and g++
[04:43] <Orbixx_> Just get the one, build-essential.
[04:43] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, I dunno, i just use virtualbox
[04:43] <mountainma1> pelo: yip
[04:43] <nickrud> MrSteve sure, if you wanna pollute gcc with windows :)
[04:43] <Pelo> mountainma1, ok the choose  the guided installation use the whole cd
[04:43] <MrSteve> :)
[04:44] <MrSteve> cygwin runs my windrop
[04:44] <matthew> orbixx/nickrud imma trust you guys on this one
[04:44] <Mr_Bad_News> well do i mount it from the windows vm or from the taskbar on vm dmsuperman ?
[04:44] <dmsuperman> taskbar on vm
[04:44] <Orbixx_> matthew: Wise decision.
[04:44] <mackid> so i have two physical disks in LVM, in one volume group and two logical volumes. I need to migrate data all to one physical disk because i need to remove one of them.. does anyone know the best way to do this? i'm doing it booted from the ubuntu livecd
[04:44] <matthew> this pans out well imma start writing progs for linux
[04:44] <Orbixx_> nickrud: Have you any experience with compiz? the guys in #compiz-fusion are afk, seemingly
[04:44] <MrSteve> I can Make.. in CodeBlocks
[04:45] <nickrud> matthew build-essential is what's called a meta-package. It depends on other packages, so when it's installed it will call in the other packages. You can see what it depends on with   apt-cache depends build-essential  (a useful tool for any package)
[04:45] <ZehRique> Hello, there! Does anyone know where is the package gtk#sourceview on Ubuntu Repositories?
[04:45] <Pelo> matthew, there is a #lvm where you mght consider asking
[04:45] <Mr_Bad_News> i dont see anything on mounting the cdrom dmacnutt
[04:45] <nickrud> Orbixx_ I've messed with it a bit
[04:45] <Mr_Bad_News> dmsuperman*
[04:45] <matthew> hmm
[04:46] <Pelo> ZehRique, why not jsut use the search feature in synaptic
[04:46] <Pelo> ?
[04:46] <nickrud> Pelo you mis-nicked
[04:46] <Pelo> nickrud, don'tthnk so
[04:46] <MrSteve> there is an entire website for gtk
[04:46] <Pelo> nickrud, you are correct
[04:46] <Xristofer> is there something additional i can do for the wireless card?
[04:46] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone use vmware?
[04:46] <Xristofer> it recognizes my card but not my network
[04:46] <Pelo> mackid, there is a #lvm channel
[04:46] <ZehRique> Pelo: I just tryed this but I cant found it on Hardy
[04:46] <Stroganoff> ZehRique: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:46] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, I do
[04:47] <Pelo> ZehRique, might not be in the hardy repos yes
[04:47] <Mr_Bad_News> i have an iso on my harddrive that i need to run in windows under vmware pitr256
[04:47] <Pelo> yet
[04:47] <Mr_Bad_News> do you know how
[04:47] <slowlearner> nickrud i'm updating, is "W: GPG error:" a  critical error?
[04:47] <ZehRique> Thanks, Stroganoff!
[04:47] <mackid> Pelo, i just joined it and asked but i don't think there's anyone not afk.. you just joined and then left lol
[04:47] <DVS01> if you mount a cifs filesystem.. and you want to use unix based permissions on it.. if you crate a unionfs or aufs and union it with the cifs mount, and specify that permissions are unchangable on the cifs mount, wouldnt that allow you to set unix style permissions in the unionfs, which will then write the differences into the other member of the union?
[04:47] <Pelo> mackid,  I joined to check that there was such a channel
[04:47] <ZehRique> Pelo: I will try to find it at the address provided by Stroganoff. Thanks!
[04:47] <mackid> ah i see Pelo
[04:48] <nickrud> slowlearner no, it means you are getting stuff from a repo that you don't have the signing key for, for security. Not a critical, as long as you know what repo you're actually getting packages from
[04:48] <slowlearner> nickrud, thanks
[04:48] <matthew> ok i have another question, anyone mind telling me how i get to build-essentials (im still used to windows gui based compilers)
[04:48] <Stroganoff> matthew: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:48] <dmsuperman> matthew, "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[04:48] <Xristofer> "attempting to find available wireless network failed"
[04:49] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, we should probably take this to a different channel
[04:49] <Xristofer> even when i put the name in it still doesnt find it
[04:49] <Xristofer> any ideas?
[04:49] <mountainma1> pelo: ok back to the partition options.  --manual-- or --guided--
[04:49] <Pelo> mountainma1, guided
[04:49] <matthew> ive already installed it im asking more how to run it
[04:49] <Mr_Bad_News> pitr256, can you not recieve pm's ?
[04:50] <Pelo> matthew, ./configure ,   make , make install
[04:50] <Pelo> mountainma1, guide,  use entire disk
[04:50] <Dacvak> Help me ;_;
[04:50] <slowlearner> matthew.. are you asking how to compile?
[04:50] <mountainma1> pelo: guided--resize SCSI1, use entire disk, use entire disk and set up LVM, or use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM????
[04:50] <nickrud> !ask | Dacvak
[04:50] <ubotu> Dacvak: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[04:50] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, are you registered?
[04:50] <Pelo> mountainma1,  use entire disk
[04:50] <matthew> im not used to command lines
[04:50] <matthew> so yes sort of
[04:50] <Mr_Bad_News> yes pitr256
[04:50] <nickrud> !compile | matthew heres some pointers
[04:50] <ubotu> matthew heres some pointers: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[04:50] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, are you using Player, Server, or Workstation?
[04:51] <Pelo> matthew, welcome to linux,    the compiler is command line only

[04:51] <slowlearner> for c++ do $g++ file.cpp
[04:51] <Mr_Bad_News> i said that in pm but i guess its not going through
[04:51] <Dacvak> I installed Ubuntu over a year ago, then I uninstalled it. Today I decided to add a hard drive to my computer (which is running Windows XP MCE). Now, all of the sudden, GRUB came back and has taken over my MBR and won't let me boot into ANYTHING.
[04:51] <matthew> thats ok i can adjust i just need the command to start the compiling process
[04:51] <matthew> im asuming !compile from what ive read
[04:51] <nickrud> Dacvak take out the hard drive you just put in
[04:51] <Pelo> Dacvak, ask in ##windows how to restore the windows mbr and bootloader
[04:52] <Stroganoff> Dacvak: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[04:52] <Dacvak> nickrud, I tried everything like that.
[04:52] <matthew> ah nevermind found it
[04:52] <Ubuntong> Is hdparm worth enabling in Gutsy?
[04:52] <akuma55> hello ppl does anybody here use samba
[04:52] <nickrud> Dacvak see above then. I have no clue where grub would have come from, without you installing something
[04:52]  * Pelo is done,  g'night folks 
[04:52] <dmsuperman> Pelo, how can I open fileroller? "Archive Manager"? If so, how can I make a new archive? because when I choose new, it won't let me actually select the file I want to archive
[04:52] <teddy> i install some web php applications like webcalendar or any php web program..I expected to see it in /var/www/localhost..but they get installed in /usr/share  . do i have to manually make a symbolic link for every program i install?
[04:52] <nickrud> gnight Pelo
 use your XP cd and boot in to recovery mode. use the tools there to fix the MBR
[04:53] <ethan961> dmsuperman: yes, Archive Manager is file-roller
[04:53] <Pelo> dmsuperman, archive manager,   , I guess file >`new ,  then select the files , format and such
[04:53] <mountainma1> pelo: cool. thanks so much!
[04:53] <slowlearner> Dacvak search google for fixmbr
[04:53] <nickrud> teddy they should provide an entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d , so you can simply do  localhost/<whatever> , I use that for phpmyadmin
[04:53] <Lei> yo
[04:53] <Pelo> dmsuperman, ther is a new button in the tool bar , click that, select the file,  ...
[04:54] <Pelo> amyway, g'night all , specialy nickrud
[04:54] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, anyone know how can I fix this (i get no answer in #vbox)?
[04:54] <slowlearner> finally am now able to upgrade
[04:54] <Lei> I'm new to IRC: where do I go for help with an ubuntu issue?
[04:54] <slowlearner> Lei just ask
[04:54] <nickrud> teddy to be clear, phpmyadmin doesn't provide any links or stuff in /var/www , but since it drops a config in that dir, localhost/phpmyadmin works
[04:54] <Zelta> Lei: Here! :D
[04:54] <nickrud> slowlearner was it the cdrom?
[04:54] <ethan961> dek: are the permissions set correctly on the snapshots folder?
[04:54] <Lei> I'm having trouble with getting any of the 'advanced desktop effects' to work
[04:55] <Zelta> Lei: What graphics card?
[04:55] <jords> can anyone recommend me a CLI download accelerator that allows you to use http basic authentication? Axel is great apart from that last point... can't find anything on how to to the authentication with it
[04:55] <Stupid^Kid> so , i want to learn latex , can somebody give me some advices
[04:55] <nickrud> Lei type   glxinfo | grep direct  in a terminal, what does it say?
[04:55] <Lei> nvidia
[04:55] <dek> ethan961: they can be read & written by my user
[04:55] <Zelta> nVidia what?
[04:55] <v3trae> Getting an error when trying to compile any program, bash log is posted at http://pastebin.com/d2bedd80
[04:55] <gaspipe1> hey
[04:55] <Lei> two years old -- lemme check. It shouldn't be the issue.
[04:55] <slowlearner> nickrud no, i think i keep on pressing the enter key and i missed the promp that asks for confirmation to upgrade
[04:55] <Lei> One sec.
[04:55] <Zelta> Lei: Do what nickrud said ;)
[04:55] <nickrud> slowlearner lol
[04:55] <Maquiasfarano> Hey: my BIOS has an "enable EFI" option. Could I have any advantages by enabling it, using Ubuntu? If not, would it be an advantage in the future?
[04:55] <ethan961> v3trae: do you have build-essential?
[04:55] <MrSteve> mudders.. more readin'
[04:55] <slowlearner> nickrud :D
[04:55] <gaspipe1> i want to thank everyone who helped me reinstall ubuntu
[04:55] <ethan961> !compiling
[04:55] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[04:56] <v3trae> ethan961: probably not, just a sec
[04:56] <gaspipe1> nickrud: TY
[04:56] <dmsuperman> Pelo, any clue why I get "zip warning: name not matched: rld-scfa.iso" when adding my iso to the zip?
[04:56] <nickrud> v3trae  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:56] <gaspipe1> mneptok: TY
[04:56] <Lei> geforce 6600
[04:56] <v3trae> ethan961: thank you
[04:56] <v3trae> nickrud: thank you =)
[04:56] <ethan961> np
[04:56] <nickrud> gaspipe1 yw, mneptok gets the lions share ;)
[04:57] <nickrud> and bazhang
[04:57] <gaspipe1> bazhang: TY
[04:57] <gaspipe1> TY all very much!!
[04:57] <dmsuperman> nvm, using 7zip...now i just have to figure out multipart files
[04:57] <ethan961> !yay | gaspipe1
[04:57] <ubotu> gaspipe1: Glad you made it! :-)
[04:57] <gaspipe1> and I want to thank the whole Ubuntu Community for their hard work
[04:57] <gaspipe1> and if it means anything this time around was such a piece of cake
[04:58] <ethan961> We love what we do
[04:58] <gaspipe1> 1st time was tough and white knuckle install
[04:58] <nickrud> gaspipe1 amazing what a little chipping away at the learning curve does ;)
[04:58] <sls> how can I make sudo want the root password instead of my password?
[04:59] <dmsuperman> sls, it's your password
[04:59] <Lei> @ nickrud: direct rendering: No (if you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG = verbose)
[04:59] <Lei> thanks
[04:59] <dmsuperman> sls, there's not really a root
[04:59] <nickrud> sls are you really sure you want to do that? there's no root password for a reason
[04:59] <nickrud> Lei system->admin->restricted manager, select the nvidia restricted driver and reboot
[05:00] <dmsuperman> does anybody know how to save archives in several pieces using Archive Manager? I need to make them based on filesize..
[05:00] <sls> nickrud, I am using an LDAP server for the user accounts. I need to assign some users the ability to sudo
[05:00] <Lei> thanks
[05:00] <gaspipe1> ahhh can I ask 1 more Q? lol
[05:00] <artenius> sls: won't sudoers work for that?
[05:00] <nickrud> sls visudo , add the parameter rootpw to it
[05:00] <Lei> cheers
[05:00] <sls> nickrud, so I did sudo -s and gave root a password. he still can not log on via ssh or gdm
[05:01] <gaspipe1> i saw on lifehacker.com a while back the top 10 ubuntu apps to get
[05:01] <nickrud> sls ah, that's a different issue. gdm as root? crazy? ssh as root? CRAZY!!
[05:01] <sls> nickrud, visudo... right..
[05:01] <Cpudan80> sshing as root is dangerous
[05:01] <gaspipe1> and Automatix was the top, but it's not supported after 7.10
[05:01] <Cpudan80> bad idea
[05:01] <sls> nickrus, no no... root is barred from those.
[05:01] <gaspipe1> should I still get it?
[05:02] <sls> nickrud, no no... root is barred from those.
[05:02] <sls> root can NOT ssh and GDM
[05:02] <american> What's the command to load up the configuration module for compiz-fusion?
[05:02] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: medibuntu and restricted extras provide all the basic needs
[05:02] <artenius> american: ccsm
[05:02] <artenius> err
[05:02] <american> thanks
[05:02] <nickrud> sls ok, that's better. You had me worried. I've seen some use cases where having sudo use the root password makes sense (like a lab, where the admin comes by and uses a root password to allow package installs and the like)
[05:02] <sls> nicrud, all I want is for some LDAP user to be able to sudo.
[05:02] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: do i have medibuntu?
[05:02] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1 no
[05:03] <fabiano> Ola
[05:03] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:03] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: so i should install that
[05:03] <american> artenius:  sorry but I am a newbie.  how do i make it so that this configuration module always loads?
[05:03] <Orbixx_> How would I enable a second monitor?
[05:03] <fabiano> pt br?
[05:03] <mannex> I want to start messing around with cron jobs, where do people usually place their scripts?
[05:03] <nickrud> sls but I have no real experience with ldap authentication so I can't really advise on that
[05:03] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, : What kind of video hardware ?
[05:03] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: so u would recommend this rather then Auto
[05:03] <Ubuntong> Is hdparm speed up Gutsy?
[05:04] <Maquiasfarano> If someones knows... I have a question... my BIOS has an "enable EFI" option. Could I have any advantages by enabling it, using Ubuntu? If not, would it be an advantage in the future?
[05:04] <Orbixx_> ^Ocean^: nvidia 8800gtx
[05:04] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: yes and i think most people would agree
[05:04] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, You can get a utility caled nvidia-settings  may already be installed,  makes it easy too set up a second monitor
[05:04] <s0wn> how much disk space is needed to install ubuntu?
[05:05] <Zelta> s0wn: 2GB is a standard install, I think
[05:05] <Zelta> Not too sure, really
[05:05] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, Alternatively you can read the nvidia docs , and manualy set up your xorg.conf file
[05:05] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: TY very much, I had a lot of problems in the past with video files and such, does this also help or make it easier for wine?
[05:05] <s0wn> nice
[05:05] <Zelta> Somewhere in that range, though ;)
[05:05] <s0wn> so 60gb would be enough l0l
[05:05] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: i had 64 bit last time and never used wine b4
[05:05] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, You also have too be useing the Nvidia video driver from the nvidia website :)
[05:05] <fish_away> i am back!
[05:05] <s0wn> your name disagrees
[05:05] <s0wn> damn
[05:05] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1 installing wine is easy, can't imagine any problems
[05:05] <s0wn> slow typing ftl
[05:05] <nickrud> s0wn you should break that up, say 12-15gb for  /  (root partition) , about 2xram up to 2 gb for swap, and the rest for /home
[05:05] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, anyone know how can I fix this (i get no answer in #vbox)?
[05:05] <sls> nickrud, on the SLES and SLED boxes this works fine because Novell configured sudo in such a way that anyone can use the sudo command provided that they know the password of the root account.
[05:06] <dmsuperman> does anybody know how i can split my archive into multiple pieces?
[05:06] <fish> bazhang: you still here?
[05:06] <artenius> american: you'll pobably get more help in #compiz-fusion
[05:06] <nickrud> sls you might be able to get better help on #ubuntu-server
[05:06] <s0wn> nice
[05:06] <sls> nickrud, now that is not as secure as ubuntu has it.. but I can not seem to find a good solution
[05:06] <^Ocean^> dmsuperman: I think tar will do that...
[05:06] <american> thanks
[05:06] <sls> ok
[05:06] <Ubuntong> does hdparm speed up Gutsy?
[05:06] <s0wn> cherrs Zelta and nickrud
[05:06] <dmsuperman> ^Ocean^, but how
[05:06] <Zelta> bye
[05:06] <^Ocean^> dmsuperman, man tar :)
[05:07] <nickrud> Ubuntong according to my testing, no. My drives are already optimized by the kernel. your mileage may vary though
[05:08] <Ubuntong> nickrud: I think I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks
[05:08] <dubby> hey anyone the buttons on my wacom are not working correctly
[05:08] <fish> bazhang: I ran the boot parameters like you said and got this screen: http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[05:08] <Xristofer> is it normal for wireless configuration not to work during installation?
[05:09] <nickrud> Xristofer yes
[05:09] <Xristofer> okay
[05:09] <nickrud> Xristofer I always wire up my laptop for the install phase, and do wireless after
[05:09] <Xristofer> will it fix itself after or do i need to do something extra?
[05:10] <nickrud> Xristofer you will almost certainly have to do some work to get your wireless chip working
[05:10] <fr05tbyt3> hello
[05:10] <fish> I beleive bazhang is away now, can someone else help me?
[05:10] <nickrud> Xristofer not to flog a dead horse, but wireless is improved in linux, but it still _sucks_
[05:10] <fish> I have issues with booting with my nvidia geforce 6 series video card installed
[05:11] <DG19075> I guess in lots of cases a Windows driver and ndiswrapper is your best go
[05:11] <fr05tbyt3> would anybody happento know how i could find the default gateway number in ubuntu 7.10?
[05:11] <nickrud> fish that's something that you'll have to ask about a few times, every 5-10 minutes. It is not a common issue
[05:12] <nickrud> fr05tbyt3 route -n
[05:12] <fr05tbyt3> thank you sooooo much
[05:12] <fish> nickrud: i have been asking for help o this matter for the last 8 days
[05:13] <nickrud> fish yeah. Not suprised. Not dismissing your question, it's just way over my head
[05:13] <punz> do you get any specific errors on boot?
[05:13] <Orbixx_> Does anyone know the location of the default Ubuntu background image?
[05:13] <punz> those would help troubleshoot
[05:13] <punz> ;x
[05:13] <fish> http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[05:13] <fish> there
[05:13] <fish> i have several screens and logs for fedora too
[05:13]  * nickrud waits for punz ;)
[05:14] <fish> though i doubt those fedora things will help here
[05:14] <nickrud> fish a silly question: that card works in windows
[05:14] <fish> yep
[05:14] <punz> hmm yeah that's beyond me
[05:14] <mosibfu> fish, are you using the nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new ?
[05:14] <punz> ;x
[05:14] <fish> works wonders in windows xp
[05:14] <Orbixx_> Anyone?
[05:14] <fish> mosibfu: no clue...lol how do I check this?
[05:15] <arvind_> Orbixx_, whats the problem
[05:15] <mosibfu> fish, either of the 3 shuld be installed when you install the restricted driver so synaptic shuld know
[05:15] <nickrud> Orbixx_ /usr/share/backgrounds I would expect
[05:15] <Orbixx_> arvind_: The default location of where desktop backgrounds are ...
[05:15] <Orbixx_> Nevermind. Thanks nickrud.
[05:16] <mannex> Is there any difference between the following two:  ". ./script" and "./script" ?
[05:16] <nickrud> Orbixx_ thank the file hierarchy standard, not me ;)
[05:16] <fish> mosibfu:  which should I install for a BFG/nVidia GeForce 6200 OC?
[05:16] <mosibfu> fish, since its an old card i'd go for the nvidia-glx or maybe even the nvidia-glx-legacy, but i'd try the glx first
[05:17] <arvind_> mannex, yes
[05:17] <Xristofer> nickrud: can you point me toward a guide to get wireless working?
[05:17] <nickrud> mannex are those two dots in the first one supposed to be right next to one another?
[05:17] <nickrud> !wireless | Xristofer
[05:17] <ubotu> Xristofer: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:17] <mannex> nickrud, nope.
[05:17] <fish> mosibfu: OK once I install that then what should I do?
[05:17] <mannex> arvind_, how if you do not mind me asking?
[05:17] <mosibfu> fish, reboot, after installing it, it shuld replace the current driver and will use parameters for older cards like yours
[05:18] <fish> alrighty, i will try that and return with my results
[05:18] <arvind_> mannex, ./script would be interpretted as if it is a script from the present directory
[05:18] <mosibfu> reboot because it will also replace kernel module... where i think youre messing up atm
[05:18] <fish_away> ok
[05:18] <MAzeMiami> to get ssh to work on a new install is there any thing else i need to do affter or before $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:18] <nickrud> mannex odd. usually a dot is used to indicate the current directory, so   ./scripts  currentdirectory/scripts.  why the first dot doesn't do anything suprises me
[05:19] <arvind_> mannex, AFAIK . ./script whould be thought of as a hidden file
[05:19] <artenius> MAzeMiami: nope, it should be up and running after installing, you could always ps x to make sure
[05:19] <MAzeMiami> ps x ??  ?
[05:19] <nickrud> arvind_  strangely , if I do    . ./gt   (a script that calls gnometerm with some geometry) it runs normally
[05:20] <arvind_> nickrud, that must be a hidden script in your desktop :)
[05:20] <artenius> MAzeMiami: ps tells you what's running, man ps
[05:20] <DG19075> Wouldn't the dot-slash be thought of like the .exe in Windows?
[05:20] <nickrud> mannex that's a question that the people in #bash might find interesting
[05:20] <mannex> arvind_, hm... aren't hidden just prefixed with a .
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> just type ps
[05:20] <nickrud> arvind_ nah, it's in ~/bin and I cd'd into it :)
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> and what am i looking for to see if it's running
[05:20] <mannex> nickrud, thanks
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> ^^^?
[05:20] <pitr256> the first . means source
[05:21] <arvind_> nickrud, yeah thats what its a hidden file present in that directory
[05:21] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami type "telnet localhost 22" without the "'s
[05:21] <artenius> MAzeMiami: look for "openssh-server"
[05:21] <pitr256> so if you . .bashrc, it will run .bashrc
[05:21] <artenius> MAzeMiami: or just try to connect to it
[05:21] <MAzeMiami> i can ping the box thats it
[05:21] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami and tell me what you see
[05:21] <nickrud> ah, source. I always type that out
[05:21] <Cpudan80> pitr256: ./
[05:21] <nickrud> pitr256 thanks I though I was going crazy
[05:22] <JOR_DE> hola
[05:22] <arvind_> pitr256, could you explain that
[05:22] <JOR_DE> HOLA
[05:22] <nickrud> JOR_DE hello
[05:22] <MrGnu> Hi everybody!
[05:23] <JOR_DE> HELLO
[05:23] <nickrud> !caps | JOR_DE
[05:23] <ubotu> JOR_DE: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:23] <slowlearner> JOR_DE ask
[05:23] <pitr256> arvind_, what do you mean?
[05:23] <JOR_DE> :(
[05:23] <arvind_> pitr256, i mean the source thing
[05:23] <MAzeMiami> slow.. you have aim ?
[05:23] <MAzeMiami> the issue is the DC in china dones not know how to install thisthink lol
[05:24] <pitr256> arvind_, you could put . ./bin/somescript.sh and it'll execute somescipt.sh
[05:24] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami what did you see when you type in "telnet localhost 22"
[05:24] <MAzeMiami> i never have before as well trying to walk them threw it
[05:24] <pitr256> arvind_, it's a bash thing
[05:24] <MAzeMiami> i'm waiting for there reply
[05:24] <zero88> Im looking to download Aireplay-ng, but cant seem to find it in the Repoes? Is it maybe under another alias????
[05:24] <nickrud> arvind_ when you run a script in a terminal, it runs as a child process, with it's own environment (very roughly). When you source a file, each line is read and executed in the same process, rather than a child one
[05:24] <Orbixx_> Do TV cards require additional software to become functional on Ubuntu?
[05:24] <pitr256> nickrud, excellent description
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> i installed vmware , i got rosetta stone working under windows , but there is no sound
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:25] <mannex> nickrud, apparently the only difference between "./script" and ". ./script" is that the latter interprets ./script in the current shell, the former forks a process and does it there.
[05:25] <Knifa> have you installed the vmware tools?
[05:25] <mannex> arvind_, apparently the only difference between "./script" and ". ./script" is that the latter interprets ./script in the current shell, the former forks a process and does it there.
[05:25] <MAzeMiami> this is crazy
[05:25] <nickrud> mannex yes
[05:25] <MAzeMiami> a dc that never has installed unbuntu
[05:25] <arvind_> nickrud, hmm could understnad something
[05:25] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: have you installed the vmware tools?
[05:25] <mannex> nickrud, the forking of a process is what I was after
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> nay Knifa
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> how?
[05:26] <Knifa> i think it's like tools > install vmware tools
[05:26] <Knifa> iirc.
[05:27] <Jorda1> hay guys in Ubuntu server 7.10 what command would you use to show disk size
[05:27] <nickrud> Jorda1 df -h
[05:27] <pitr256> Jorda1, df -h
[05:27] <mark[oz]> df -h
[05:27] <pitr256> nickrud, you're quick ;-)
[05:27] <mark[oz]> df -h
[05:27] <Jorda1> df -h
[05:27] <FloodBot1> mark[oz]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <Jorda1> ok
[05:27] <Jorda1> thank you
[05:27] <FloodBot1> Jorda1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <mark[oz]> fuck you FloodBot1
[05:27] <mark[oz]> :)
[05:28] <mosibfu> fowned xd
[05:28] <nickrud> pitr256 I have some questions asked so often, they don't even pass through my brain ;)
[05:28] <Jorda1> lol
[05:28] <Jorda1> what does the df stand for disk what
[05:28] <Mr_Bad_News> Knifa, should i be concerned that there is no audio section in the host settings?
[05:28] <Knifa> yes
[05:28] <fr05tbyt5> is there anyway to undo an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10\
[05:29] <Knifa> I'm assuming sound works on your own system properly, yeah?
[05:29] <arvind_> fr05tbyt3, yeas
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> besides a reinstall
[05:29] <pitr256> nickrud, I bet. I've only been camping here tonight and have seen the same question like 3 times already. :-)
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> how how who:D
[05:29] <arvind_> fr05tbyt3, update-manager -d
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> what ehen
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> ok
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> ill try it thatnk you very much
[05:29] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: I'm assuming sound works on your own system properly, yeah?
[05:29] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> and  i dont think i set up networking in vmware either
[05:30] <adub> on processor fans for laptops do they only run when the processor starts getting hotter?
[05:30] <Knifa> hrm
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> will i have to reinstall?
[05:30] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: I am unsure, maybe the audio device just got removed? Try adding it again. I think you can do that ~_~
[05:30] <adub> like i can occassionally hear my fan kick on and the sound is loud
[05:30] <Knifa> maybe
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> how?
[05:30] <adub> i can hear the fan blowing
[05:30] <Knifa> eeh hold on
[05:30] <arvind_> adub, thats normal i guess
[05:31] <adub> arvind ok
[05:31] <mosibfu> adub, it depends in the laptop (if its bios handled or something) or on the hardware + the amount of driver support
[05:31] <Stroganoff> adub: this could be a cron job
[05:31] <Stroganoff> adub: just check your cpu-meter (panel) and your task manager
[05:31] <adub> oh i am just trying to troubleshoot a laptop
[05:31] <mikere> If I install with ubuntu desktop, how hard is it to install server stuff (LAMP mostly)?
[05:31] <adub> i know the one i am on i tihnk it does the same thing
[05:32] <nickrud> mikere extremely simple, for example sudo tasksel install lamp will install your lamp stack
[05:32] <mosibfu> mikere, there are some very good how-to's for ubuntu, with those you shuld be up and running in about 5/10 minutes
[05:32] <adub> what about the system fan on laptops taht pushes air out the back is that constantly running or only sometimes
[05:32] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: Does it show a Sound Adapter when you go to edit the virtual machine at all?
[05:32] <Mr_Bad_News> no Knifa
[05:33] <Knifa> If you click on add, can you add one? D:
[05:33] <pitr256> adub, matters on the laptop
[05:33] <Frederick> folks does ubuntu features a visual manager to mysql?
[05:33] <nickrud> mikere the server and desktop installs are pretty much the same, just different package selections. You can install any package on either.
[05:33] <pitr256> Frederick, yes
[05:33] <slowlearner> Frederick mysql query browser?
[05:34] <pitr256> Frederick, it's in the add/remove programs
[05:34] <bOxOFlUnch> can someone please try to help me with a problem producing excessive amounts of active connections
[05:34] <mikere> mosibfu, nickrud, thanks - I seem to recall last time I did this there was a little trick to doing it.  Perhaps it's just easier now.
[05:34] <Mr_Bad_News> should i just run install.pl again Knifa
[05:34] <pitr256> Frederick, search for mysql
[05:34] <Knifa> yeah it might help heh
[05:35] <nickrud> mikere yes, the last couple releases has really streamlined things
[05:36] <Mr_Bad_News> fuck Knifa  i just did that and it erased my windows vm
[05:36] <bOxOFlUnch> Does it make sense to anybody that simply having opera open would open over 400 active TCP connections to my gateway even when I'm not using it
[05:36] <pikeshouse88> better to make fresh 7.10 install from live install cd or daily-live install cd?
[05:36] <JohnMM> lol

[05:36] <RyanPrior> My mouse and touchpad just simotaneously died - is there a command to relinitialize the mouse system?
[05:37] <Knifa> oh crap D:
[05:37] <pitr256> Mr_bad_news, it's still there
[05:37] <Mr_Bad_News> language?
[05:37] <Mr_Bad_News> wtf
[05:37] <nickrud> Mr_Bad_News precisely :)
[05:37] <Mr_Bad_News> is fuck a bad word?
[05:37] <Mr_Bad_News> sorry
[05:37] <nickrud> Mr_Bad_News yes. kids hang out here, so we keep it very clean
[05:37] <JohnMM> they censor it on the radio and tv mr-rich
[05:37] <Mr_Bad_News> god i hate kids
[05:37] <RyanPrior> Mr_Bad_News: in this channel it is. We go by Ye Olde Grandma's rules of which words are appropraite.
[05:38] <Frederick> kmysqlamin  crashed :/
[05:38] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, you can open the old VM by browsing to the machine image file
[05:38] <mikere> mosibfu: wow, tasksel is very cool!  Thanks for that tip.
[05:38] <nickrud> Frederick look for mysql-admin , it'll add that and mysql-browser to your menu
[05:38] <DreadKnight> .join #kubuntu
[05:38] <DreadKnight> mrr
[05:38] <Mr_Bad_News> ok pitr256
[05:38] <DreadKnight> sry
[05:38] <pikeshouse88> is the daily live cd better for installing than the regular live?
[05:38] <FloodBot1> DreadKnight: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:39] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, how can I fix this?
[05:39] <Mr_Bad_News> pitr256, there is no sound device on my windows vm
[05:40] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i get one?
[05:40] <MAzeMiami> when you install ubuntu are to already loged in as root ? or do you need to switch
[05:41] <MrPiracy> a simple question .... i have a txt file i want to share between windows and ubuntu. I created a link to it on my desktop, but when i click it, it says there's no application to open it
[05:41] <nickrud> !root | MAzeMiami
[05:41] <ubotu> MAzeMiami: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:41] <RyanPrior> MrPiracy: can you right-click it and select "open with text editor"?
[05:41] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: how do i do that to the LINK on my desktop?
[05:42] <RyanPrior> MrPiracy: the link should be manipulatable in much the same way as the actual file.
[05:42] <kraypius> the question is... after doing an install are you automatically in root or do you need to sudo -i ?
[05:42] <kreative> so im trying to make the complete switch over to ubuntu, but im just curious to see if their are any oracle clients like sql plus or toad for ubuntu.
[05:42] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: welll, it doesnt open with the text editor
[05:42] <nickrud> kraypius sudo -i
[05:43] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: if i choose OPEN WITH ANOTHER APPLICATION, i choose Text Editor from it and it says it cannot be added to the list
[05:43] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: tried to manually put gedit, no good
[05:43] <mackid> if anyone knows much about LVM, please msg me, my LVM is broken and #lvm is ignoring me
[05:44] <slowlearner> MrPiracy is the link accessible?
[05:44]  * nickrud thinks lvm stands for lose valuable material
[05:44] <Lainy> Hello, my mpd display on conky is unable to display a Japanese song title (it shows boxes). I have inserted 'override_utf8_locale yes' and 'xftfont Terminus:size=8', the same font I use in my console (which is able to view the Japanese song title perfectly). What do I need to do to view the song title correctly? Thanks for any help.
[05:44] <MrPiracy> yes
[05:45] <MrPiracy> slowlearner, RyanPrior: wait ... i made the link where the TXT file is ... maybe it's because it cannot find the file after i moved it to the desktop ... let me check
[05:45] <MrPiracy> slowlearner, RyanPrior: nope, the target shows the full path
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> the app help and support is craching
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> *crashing
[05:46] <slowlearner> MrPiracy and you can open the target file without any problem?
[05:46] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: let me check
[05:47] <arvind_khadri> the app help and support is crashing
[05:47] <nickrud> arvind_khadri try typing    yelp   in the terminal
[05:47] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: yes, i just double click it and choose DISPLAY
[05:48] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, the same happens ...i did dmesg|tail ,it shows a segmentation fault
[05:48] <slowlearner> MrPiracy hmm. really strange
[05:48] <nickrud> arvind_khadri hm, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall yelp
[05:48] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: it's such a simple task ...
[05:49] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, installing,what had happened??
[05:50] <nickrud> arvind_khadri no clue. That's my usual first step at fixing issues, works maybe half the time
[05:50] <slowlearner> MrPiracy can you open the link via command-line... like vim or something
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, :)
[05:50] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: i found out what the problem was .... i renamed the link and removed the extension (.txt)
[05:50] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: for some weird reason a link won't open without it
[05:51] <phish> Hi i was trying to update my nvidia drivers and i did some dpkg x-reconfigure (can't remember the exact command) anyways my desktop is locked at <800 x 600. i noticed it saved a backup of my old settings. How can i get those back?
[05:52] <Kirce> hello any one here?
[05:52] <nickrud> phish   cd /etc/X11 ; sudo cp xorg.conf.<backupstuff> xorg.conf
[05:53] <Kirce> dose anyone know how i can make my usb flash drive bootable so i can install my ubuntu using my 1g flash drive?
[05:53] <Stroganoff> Kirce: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd
[05:54] <rewati> hi there i need to change the char font on the console (alt + ctrl + f1) screen and the color , how ca i do dat
[05:54] <nickrud> rewati sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[05:55] <nickrud> rewati that'll do the size, not sure about color
[05:55] <theDtTvB2> I left the login screen for about half and hour and now it goes to random color. The "sleep mode" LEF blinks also. What should I do?
[05:55] <rewati> nickrud ok thanx i will try that
[05:55] <arvind_> nickrud, am compiling gcc 4.3.0 can it be the cause
[05:56] <theDtTvB2> The screen goes to black, white, red, green, blue, white, gray, darker gray, and then black again. Anything wrong?
[05:56] <nickrud> arvind_ I don't think the already compiled libraries/executables would be affected, but it's been so long since I did anything more than a quick ./configure cycle I could easily be sadly mistaken
[05:57] <arvind_> nickrud, hmm
[05:57] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[05:57] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 does touching the power button do anything? I vaguely remember something like that happening to me. It was a one time occurance, never happened again. I forced a shutdown with the power button
[05:58] <arvind_> nickrud, would check whether it still crashes after the compilation
[05:58] <Adantan_Alex> hey
[05:58] <Kirce> Stroganoff, im on windows at the moment i cant do anything with an .sh
[05:58] <rewati> nickrud ok i did that but there is not change
[05:58] <theDtTvB2> The power button does not do anything. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+B does not work either. This happens to my laptop.
[05:58] <rewati> nickrud do i need to restart to see the change
[05:59] <nickrud> rewati I do think so. Been a while since I used that
[05:59] <Adantan_Alex> check what he said again ^^
[05:59] <Stroganoff> Kirce: http://www.syslinux.org/
[05:59] <rewati> ok
[05:59] <rewati> i will do that
[05:59] <Stroganoff> Kirce: this is included in the README https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[05:59] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 so is mine. I forced a shutdown
[06:00] <theDtTvB2> @nickrud... Ok, I am going to pull out the battery.
[06:00] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 I think it was around the time one of my memory sticks was failing
[06:01] <theDtTvB2> @nickrud Oh yeah, I forgot to plug my notebook in. It ran out of battery. Was it possible?
[06:01] <MrPiracy> I am trying to install cabletv-1.3.9 and i keep getting this error when i type make: main.c:31:29: error: X11/Xaw/XawInit.h: No such file or directory
[06:01] <MrPiracy> how can i fix this?
[06:02] <gaspipe1> night all, and thanks again!
[06:02] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 like I said, I remember having something like that happen once, but it's a very vague memory. I know I didn't pull the battery, have never had to be that drastic ;)
[06:02] <AnotherNoob> Hi, hoping i can get advice on which ubuntu package to use to get best performance. I have 3x P2 400mhz 480m ram + 1x P4 2.6 1G ram. I have trialled Edubuntu + thin clients. Am now looking at Xubuntu, possibly also with thin clients or should i stick with fat clients?
[06:03] <NullName> AnotherNoob: xubuntu is a great edition of ubuntu
[06:03] <nickrud> MrPiracy install xorg-dev , it's a very large number of packages with various *.h files for compiling against the X libs
[06:03] <NullName> It is very fast...but also runs well on high-end systems
[06:03] <MrPiracy> nickrud: will it affect anything else on my system?
[06:03] <pitr256>  AnotherNoob, it depends on what you would be running on the clients
[06:04] <nickrud> MrPiracy no, it's only used for compilation
[06:04] <Stroganoff> AnotherNoob: the best performance you gen gat (on 400 Mhz) is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[06:04] <Stroganoff> (get)
[06:05] <Xristofer> dammit
[06:05] <MrPiracy> nickrud: thank you, doing it now ;)
[06:05] <Xristofer> so i finally get it to install using the text installation
[06:05] <Xristofer> and it loads up to a blank screan
[06:05] <Xristofer> :( just my luck
[06:05] <AnotherNoob> NullName :Looks like another install could be on the way.... after a few weeks its getting easier
[06:05] <Prez00> hello
[06:05] <Xristofer> any ideas?
[06:05] <Xristofer> installation went smooth
[06:05] <Xristofer> not sure what the problem is
[06:06] <Adantan_Alex> !enter | xristofer
[06:06] <ubotu> xristofer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:06] <AnotherNoob> pitr256 : mainly kids stuff on the clients but it would be nice for the to be able to watch some divx movies...
[06:06] <_Net> Hi, I have a pretty rookie question here. I'm trying to install ubuntu but in the partition section of the setup (step 5 i think) I chose to resize my XP partition but I can only drag it to as low as 112GB, i want it to use only 50gb for linux and I can go Max of 250gb.
[06:06] <Prez00> i just installed kernel 2.6.24.4 on Gutsy and I see a dump in dmesg about using irqpoll, can someone tell me what irqpol does?  everything seems to be working, but that dump doesn't look good in dmesg
[06:06] <AnotherNoob> stroganoff : cheers, i'll definatley look into it
[06:06] <_Net> I thought I'd ask before doing the manual thing because I did the manual thing last time I installed it and well lost my entire xp partition
[06:07] <Adantan_Alex> _net: private chat
[06:07] <Stroganoff> AnotherNoob: may i query?
[06:07] <Xristofer> I just install the newest version of Ubuntu on my AMD Turion64 x2 with 1gb of ram and when I try to load it up it goes to a blank screen.
[06:08] <MrPiracy> nickrud: other error messages ... do u know this program?
[06:08] <nickrud> MrPiracy no, I don't But I'm sure it's a matter of getting the right -dev files.
[06:09] <nickrud> MrPiracy if they're in the repos, of course
[06:09] <MrPiracy> nickrud: they're not
[06:09] <powertool08> has anyone ever used the pork im client?
[06:09] <MrPiracy> nickrud: do you know another program to use my TV card?
[06:09] <NullName> nope
[06:09] <nickrud> MrPiracy what's the next error?
[06:10] <NullName> I recommend Pidgin for any IM'ing
[06:10] <Stroganoff> Xristofer a blank screen after the 30-60s boot process?
[06:10] <arvind_> _Net you should do the manual partition only if you dont want to loose XP
[06:10] <tushyd> anyone know why when I fullscreen flash videos the framerate drops like no other?
[06:10] <MrPiracy> nickrud: channel.h:40: error: array type has incomplete element type
[06:10] <nickrud> MrPiracy never owned a tv card, I'm a firm believer in the idea of one job, one tool TV is a TV
[06:10] <powertool08> NullName: i'm looking for a cli program
[06:10] <nickrud> MrPiracy yup, that's not a file problem :)
[06:10] <_Net> Arvind_ I know, and I did some reasearch I dont come here empty handed. I've used manual lots before with a lot of different operating systems but Im scared of it.
[06:11] <_Net> To be honest I've lost way too much data using the manual and havent been able to retrieve it
[06:11] <oddalot> anyone know a good program that can make burn video to dvd that I can add different menus and chapter points etc...for free
[06:11] <MrPiracy> nickrud: i reckon it's something in the program itself ... maybe i am missing some directives during ./configure
[06:11] <_Net> so Im making sure I'm doing it right this time
[06:11] <arvind_> _Net hmm i've always done it right
[06:11] <nickrud> MrPiracy you could be.
[06:11] <NullName> powertool08: there are some awesome command line IM programs....but all I've used only work with one protocal..such as only IRC or only AIm
[06:11] <_Net> Me too, but one click on that Edit partition and boom
[06:11] <arvind_> _Net so where do you want to install it...i mean which drive
[06:11] <Adantan_Alex> dont worry im helping him when he is ready
[06:12]  * nickrud installed hardy on top of gutsy by accident just last month. Never say never arvind_ ;)
[06:12] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: when i first try to boot it.   install went just fine but when i boot regularly, i get the UBUNTU logo with the loading bar beneath and then it just goes blank.
[06:12] <Stroganoff> Xristofer what graphics card do you use?
[06:12] <powertool08> NullName: would you happen to know the names of any of these awesome command line im programs?
[06:12] <Xristofer> nvidia 8800
[06:12] <Xristofer> mobile
[06:12] <MrPiracy> nickrud: this program is not designed specificly for ubuntu, would u have a look at the install instructions for me? maybe you could tell me what directives i could use ... i am using gutsy x64
[06:12] <arvind_> Adantan_Alex, was that for me
[06:13] <Stroganoff> Xristofer: press Esc while grub is loading, go into recovery mode and change your video driver to vesa with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:13] <nickrud> MrPiracy I'm really rusty with compiling stuff these days. My programming days are long ago, and I read code poorly, slowly and usually badly now
[06:14] <tushyd> anyone know how to fix slow fullscreen flash framerates?
[06:14] <oddalot> hey, you guys know a good program for linux that can burn video dvds with menus etc..
[06:14] <MrPiracy> nickrud: hehe, i know how it feels, i am a programmer myself (for windows, though) ... but i was talking about the install instructions, not the code itself
[06:14] <nickrud> MrPiracy sure, I'll take a quick glance
[06:14] <phreck> Anyone know how to get a quickcam fusion working?
[06:15] <MrPiracy> nickrud: cool, where's that pastebin thing?
[06:15] <nickrud> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:16]  * phreck slaps his webcam
[06:16] <nickrud> oddalot devede works, mostly ;)
[06:17] <oddalot> THANKS!!
[06:17] <Xristofer> Stroganoff i'm going to sound like a newb because i am. this is my first time running linux. i'm not really sure what grub is but if i restart it gives me an option to boot in recovery mode. when i do this it stops at "loading hardware drivers."
[06:17] <Stroganoff> ok Xristofer this is not good
[06:17] <rhineheart_m> hello.. anybody here has an experience installing/making ubuntu box as a router to join two separate networks?
[06:18] <Xristofer> uh oh
[06:18] <Stroganoff> Xristofer is the Numlock LED responding?
[06:18] <MrPiracy> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63382/
[06:18] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: no
[06:19] <nickrud>  MrPiracy those are boiler plate instructions, there should be a README or something that's specific to the package
[06:19] <nickrud> Xristofer is this hardy?
[06:19] <MrPiracy> nickrud: hold on, lemme check
[06:20] <Xristofer> ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64
[06:20] <AimLXJ> Can someone help me?
[06:20] <maxternet> Hi all Ubuntu Users
[06:20] <Stroganoff> Xristofer try 32bit :/
[06:20] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, only if you tell your prob
[06:20] <nickrud> Xristofer then what I was thinking doesn't apply
[06:21] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: I installed Xubuntu onto my system and it detects the integrated ethernet port and the ethernet card but I still cannot connect online.
[06:21] <Xristofer> my processor is amd turion64X2
[06:21] <maxternet> I would like to chat with someone that's actually using giFT with a well configured firewall, anyone?
[06:21] <Stroganoff> Xristofer you can install 32bit operating system on amd64
[06:22] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, ifconfig -a then sudo dhclinet eth0
[06:22] <Stroganoff> 64bit is only faster in kind of rare cases
[06:22] <Jorda1> hay guys i just added files to my ubuntu server ftp using vsftpd in Apache's web dir and when i use my browser to get to them and i get a forbidden you don't have permission. the dir is set to 777 is there somting I need to set in apache ???
[06:22] <arvind_khadri> Stroganoff, you would need ram of 4gb or higher to be faster in 64 bit
[06:23] <MrPiracy> nickrud: readme doesnt have much info about how to install it
[06:23] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: is this the x86 version?
[06:23] <MrPiracy> nickrud: but it says ... You MUST have compiled kernel support for bttv cards or get the newest
[06:23] <MrPiracy> bttv drivers from here: http://www.strusel007.de/linux/bttv/
[06:23] <Stroganoff> yes Xristofer
[06:23] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, its sudo dhclient eth0
[06:23] <cast> arvind_khadri: BS
[06:23] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Okay
[06:23] <arvind_khadri> cast, what does the mean ,be slow??
[06:23] <v> is there any way to restore stuff from tmp if my computer crashes?
[06:23] <nickrud> MrPiracy find /lib/modules -iname bttv , you should see some files, ending in .ko . That's the kernel support
[06:24] <Stroganoff> 64bit (binary.. nvidia) drivers sometimes cause problems. 64bit flash also.
[06:24] <Xristofer> okay i'm going to give this a shot, thank you Stroganoff
[06:24] <cast> arvind_khadri: the statement of requiring more than 4GB of to be faster is just plain wrong
[06:24] <arvind_khadri> cast well its for 64 bit systems not for 32 ones....
[06:24] <v> if there is no way to restore stuff from temp, is there a way to make sure it does not delete anything?
[06:25] <MrPiracy> nothing ;)
[06:25] <MrPiracy> nickrud: nothing ;)
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: "No DHCPOFFERS recieved"
[06:26] <arvind_khadri> cast i meant that for a better performance in 64 bit ones a minimum of 4gb is needed
[06:26] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, well does the ifconfig -a show eth0??
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: "No worknig leases in persistant database - sleeping."
[06:26] <nicodarious> hello
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Yes
[06:26] <slowlearner> AimLXJ you're probably not connected to a network
[06:27] <AimLXJ> slowlearner: I am though
[06:27] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, try bringing the network down and up
[06:27] <slowlearner> AimLXJ are they using static ip addressing?
[06:27] <AimLXJ> slowlearner: Dynamic
[06:27] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Okay, I'll give it a try
[06:28] <nickrud> MrPiracy not sure what to say; ask some more about recommended tv programs and mention your card ;)
[06:28] <MrPiracy> nickrud: ok
[06:28] <nickrud> MrPiracy I'm off, I was up at 4 this morning. See you later
[06:28] <Adantan_Alex> i am.... not
[06:28] <Adantan_Alex> bye man ^^

[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> slightly offtopic: anyone in here knows what this is? http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=l84a3bf92be6919b52a021dlf5.jpg
[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> O i forgot you are all noobs
[06:30] <swuboo> spaceracoonlady:  Probably a bad thing to inhale, but beyond that I couldn't say.
[06:30] <Adantan_Alex> im a noob? awwww lol j/k
[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> swuboo: thx
[06:30] <zero88> if i had a file i wanted to run like ./file, and it was in /home/user/fldr/fldr/FILE. How could i run that script without being inside the directory???
[06:30] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, you should try #chemistry
[06:31] <slowlearner> zero88 type the full path
[06:31] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: they do not know ^^
[06:31] <swuboo> zero88:  Specify the full path.
[06:31] <Adantan_Alex> lol
[06:31] <zero88> as in ./full/path/to/file or just    /full/path/to/file
[06:31] <t00na> zero88: you can take shortcuts
[06:31] <slowlearner> zero88 remove .
[06:31] <zero88> ahhh
[06:31] <zero88> ok cool thanks
[06:31] <t00na> like ~/fldr/fldr/FILE
[06:31] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, hehehe wierd ....what do you want about it,the name or something??
[06:32] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: the name
[06:32] <spaceracoonlady> yes
[06:32] <kway> I'm tryingto install 8.04 from dvd, but when i choose 'install ubuntu' all that happens is a popup saying 'Boot Loader /casper/vmlinuz'
[06:32] <zero88> t00na: ya but how many folders can u skip
[06:32] <phreck> Anyone know how to get a quickcam fusion working?
[06:32] <t00na> um...what?
[06:32] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, you should try nomenclature from the google
[06:32] <phreck> webcm
[06:33] <slowlearner> ~ is alias form the users home dir
[06:33] <t00na> phreck: that what? was directed at zero88
[06:33] <slowlearner> ~ is alias for the users home dir

[06:33] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: thx will try
[06:33] <swuboo> zero88:  The tilde represents your home directory, if that helps you.  If you wanted, you could create a ~/bin directory, which the default bash profile adds to your PATH.  Then in that, you could create a symbolic link to the program you want to run.
[06:34] <swuboo> zero88:  It means more work up front, but from then on you'll be able to just type the name of the command in the terminal without having to put in the whole path.

[07:00] <bidget> hey quick question I have this usb drive here and the last time I took it out it was telling me that I took it out in an unsafe manner or something what do I have to do so that error message doesnt pop up?
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: unmount the thing
[07:01] <bidget> just right click and say unmount volume?
[07:01] <jhlxd> lxdsd
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: yes
[07:01] <bidget> cool thanks
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: no prob
[07:01] <bidget> that wont stop it from being detected automatically when I plug it in will it?
[07:02] <JPSman> bidget: nope.   It'll detect it next time you plug it in
[07:02] <bidget> alright
[07:02] <bidget> thanks man
[07:02] <JPSman> no prob
[07:02] <fish> hello folks
[07:02] <JPSman> wow, i'm helping :OD
[07:02] <bidget> oh one other quick question, whats that command to replace compiz with metacity?
[07:02] <JPSman> Hey Fish
[07:02] <bidget> its something --replace I remember
[07:02] <fish> heya JPSman
[07:03] <fish> mosibfu: are you still here?
[07:03] <bidget> is it metacity --replace?
[07:03] <bidget> or something similar?
[07:03] <fish> JPSman, did you get you issue resolved?
[07:03] <fish> your*
[07:03] <JPSman> Fish: no
[07:04] <JPSman> The program just won't respond when I use a launcher
[07:04] <fish> JPSman, Man, I am sorry about that. I guess it was a tougher question than I first thought
[07:04] <fish> JPSman, but did you get the launcher created?
[07:04] <mosibfu> fish, i am
[07:04] <JPSman> fish: I have to run a text file for it to point to the .bin   This is what the text file says    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ./phun.bin $@
[07:05] <jhlxd> ????????
[07:05] <JPSman> Bidget: I have no idea what the comand is, but i'm curious as to what you're trying to do
[07:05] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[07:06] <Adantan_Alex> o0
[07:06] <fish> mosibfu, awesome, I did as you suggested with the gtx and it produced the same result as shown here: http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[07:06] <jhlxd> abc
[07:06] <bidget> JPSman, I've been having problems with a really low framerate in half life 2 and someone on the winehq forums said that it oculd be because of beryl/compiz
[07:06] <bidget> JPSman, so I'm trying to find out how to disable compiz so I can try it out
[07:06] <JPSman> bidget: beryl/compiz?
[07:07] <Sakthi_V> Can anyone give me a list of keyboard shortcuts that I can use to open different applications in Ubuntu?
[07:07] <bidget> JPSman, yes
[07:07] <kelvin911> maybe metacity --replace & disown
[07:08] <fish> mosibfu, any other suggestions or ideas?
[07:08] <bidget> ah ok
[07:08] <mosibfu> fish, did the legacy one do thesame?
[07:09] <aurehman> hi dear... I want to install kxdocker in ubuntu.. how can i do so?
[07:09] <mosibfu> fish, if so, gone with the easy solutions..
[07:10] <fish> mosibfu, i did not try the legacy because I thought it was used for Riva and TNT cards... As soon as you asked I remember you saying I should try it, Let me try the legacy.... :-/
[07:10] <mosibfu> they are older makes of drivers, less demanding
[07:11] <fish> mosibfu, in fedora 8 i had to edit a xorg.conf file to identify the driver to be used, do i need to do this?
[07:11] <fish> mosibfu, i had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:11] <fish> in fedora 8
[07:12] <osfameron> Hi. Audacity is failing to open sound device for playback.  I've done lsof | grep /dev/snd, killed totem (but left the mixer_app open).  Both recording and playback sound devices are ALSA.  What should I do?
[07:12] <mosibfu> fish, the setup shuld do it automatically, you can check tho if it states nvidia
[07:13] <witakr_is_fish> ok
[07:14] <witakr_is_fish> ok
[07:15] <gizim> hey hey everybody hows the party?
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> mosibfu, after installing the gtx driver this is what my xorg reads: Driver		"intel"
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> mosibfu, intel is my integrade graphics
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> should i change it to nvidia, nv, or nouveau
[07:16] <iKK-ChatZilla> OSE english IM
[07:16] <gizim> Got a question maybe its simple and dumb - How do i make a command run in the issue.net file when someone logs in via ssh? Such as acpi -V right now its just saying "acpi -V" how can i make it run that command?
[07:16] <iKK-ChatZilla> http://www.triivi.com/download.asp
[07:16] <bullgard4> What program will output the file type of a file?
[07:17] <dsmith_> another person converted to ubuntu! :)
[07:17] <dsmith_> muhahahaah
[07:17] <osfameron> huh? ALSA is meant to support more than one application using the soundcard at a time anyway?  doesn't seem to work very well to me :-(
[07:17] <mosibfu> mhh i see wher eur going wrong, hang on fish
[07:17] <Jordan_U> osfameron, Can you point audacity at dmix ? ( I honestly don't know, it's just a thought )
[07:17] <kelvin911> crazy dude http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/7118/1hd3yg.jpg
[07:17] <fish> mosibfu, alrighty! progress!
[07:17] <msn> try using jackd
[07:17] <msn> osfameron: try using jackd -d alsa
[07:17] <msn> osfameron: then you can plug all apps into jackd
[07:17] <fish> mosibfu, patiently/eagerly waiting
[07:18] <mosibfu> first off, you got 2 devices, so youll need 2 device sections
[07:18] <dsmith_> kelvin911: did that work? haha
[07:18] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I think there is a dmix option somewhere, I'll check
[07:18] <mosibfu> one using the intel driver, so i suggest keeping that one
[07:18] <iKK-ChatZilla> kelvin911:  ICE ?
[07:19] <osfameron> msn: I don't understand jackd at all - makes no sense at all :-(  Is it the only way?  I've used audacity on its own before (yesterday for example) without it hanging and refusing to play...
[07:19] <fish> mosibfu, would you like to see my xorg.conf file?
[07:19] <mosibfu> fish, can you do a "lspci"  in a terminal, and put it in a pastebin for me?
[07:19] <mosibfu> and erm, put the xorg there too yeah, ill try to do the changes for you
[07:20] <fish> mosibfu, i can make a copy make it available
[07:20] <osfameron> Jordan_U: ah, the dmix option is only for recording (which works anyway, at the moment)
[07:20] <fish> mosibfu, yes, give me a sec, k?
[07:20] <mosibfu> ok :)
[07:21] <GiZiM> Got a question maybe its simple and dumb - How do i make a command run in the issue.net file when someone logs in via ssh? Such as acpi -V right now its just saying "acpi -V" how can i make it run that command?
[07:21] <fish> pastebin.com or org or net?
[07:21] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:21] <osfameron> oh, wait, I've got it the wrong way around, dmix is for playback only.  I'll try
[07:21] <mosibfu> !pastebin
[07:21] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[07:22] <osfameron> meh, but audacity itself is so slow and hangy
[07:22] <mosibfu> fish, that one will work :)
[07:22] <fish> Daemonus, Open Filesystem and Right-click the Home Folder and Click Create Link
[07:22] <Jordan_U> osfameron, There are other, more professional options :)
[07:22] <fish> Daemonus, Them move the newly created link to your desktop
[07:23] <osfameron> the terminal I launched audacity from is giving warnings like
[07:23] <Daemonus> doesnt allow me to make a link
[07:23] <osfameron> Expression 'ret' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 1034
[07:23] <fish> mosibfu, alrighty, one sec
[07:23] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I'm sure there are... but I just want to be able to record sound with internal mic, and play back on computer, nothing fancy...
[07:24] <osfameron> (linux sound)-- # too many choices, and none of them seem to work consistently
[07:24] <Jordan_U> osfameron, That's what pulseaudio is ( hopefully ) going to solve :)
[07:25] <Stroganoff> GiZiM you could add it to to .bash_profile
[07:25] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: Would everybody see it when they login? or just me?
[07:25] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: I would like everybody to see it if possiable
[07:25] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:25] <osfameron> Jordan_U: that'd be nice.  I apt-got that yesterday, but of course audacity doesn't support it
[07:25] <Jordan_U> osfameron, I think audacity might still try to use OSS by default, try starting audacity with "aoss audacity"
[07:26] <fish> mosibfu, ok here ya go
[07:26] <fish> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63383/
[07:26] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I've set both playback and recording to use ALSA though -- should I still do that?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> osfameron, Yea, audacity is reaaaaaaly starting to show its age and slow development :(
[07:26] <mosibfu> fish, there is some password on it?
[07:26] <fish> yeah, one sec
[07:26] <Stroganoff> GiZiM you could give $(command) a shot
[07:26] <Stroganoff> in issue.net
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: in issue.net ?
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: lol ok
[07:27] <osfameron> Jordan_U: is there anything else you'd recommend?  I'm mainly using audacity because it was the only one of the sound editing applicatoins that ever worked at all on my previous ubuntu install...
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: wouldnt it be in /etc/motd?
[07:27] <ice109> can someone help me i can't get the sound mixer panel to come up on the toolbar
[07:27] <ice109> everytime i click add panel nothing happens
[07:27] <Stroganoff> good idea GiZiM
[07:27] <Stroganoff> i'm just guessing ;)
[07:28] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: Let me give it a shot
[07:28] <Daemonus> fish,it does not allow me to make a link when i right click on the home folder
[07:28] <Jordan_U> osfameron, adour is amazing but requires setup, do you just want to be able to record and play back?
[07:28] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: No go :( i have - $acpi -V
[07:28] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: so i installed the i386 version and I have the same issue :(
[07:28] <Stroganoff> GiZiM also try /etc/ssh/environment
[07:28] <osfameron> Jordan_U: bah... running under aoss it doesn't record either :-(
[07:28] <witakr> mosibfu, this is fish, i had to change my name to my registered name so i might PM the password to you
[07:28] <ice109> can someone help me with the volume control app?
[07:29] <ice109> whenever i click add to panel nothing happens
[07:29] <osfameron> Jordan_U: record/playback/edit with multiple tracks etc.  I don't do much fancy stuff in the way of effects (noise reduction, fades etc)
[07:30] <Xristofer> recovery mode runs
[07:30] <Jkessler> anyone else having problems connecting to www.kernel.org?
[07:30] <osfameron> audacity worked fine (crashed a bit on very large projects) on my last laptop, though I remember faffing and cursing a lot while getting it setup initially too...
[07:30] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:30] <witakr> mosibfu, what is "lspci" and how do i do that?
[07:30] <mosibfu> just type lspci in a terminal and copy what it says
[07:30] <witakr> ok
[07:30] <mosibfu> its a list of all devices connected to pci bus
[07:30] <Jkessler> i'm trying to compile a kernel for my first time and can't download one
[07:31] <powertoo108> did anyone just see me quit with read error 110? it didn't disconnect me... just put the part notice there...
[07:31] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: ok i got it i put the commands in /etc/profile system wide
[07:31] <Jkessler> i guess ftp
[07:31] <Jkessler> works
[07:32] <american> what is the "winamp" of linux?
[07:32] <witakr> mosibfu, ok heres the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63384/
[07:32] <powertoo108> american: xmms
[07:32] <witakr> winamp?
[07:32] <gregory> Jkessler: why do you need to compile a new kernel?
[07:32] <kattex> logan
[07:32] <neopsyche> hello.. I seem to have lost myphpadmin password.. could anyone help me recover / change the password?
[07:32] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:33] <witakr> american: winamp via wine?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> osfameron, kwave looks simple ( and is just as ugly as audacity :), might be worth trying if you aren't put off by qt
[07:33] <Jkessler> i'm trying to get bcm43xx wireless driver installed
[07:33] <neopsyche> Daemonus home folder is part of your desktop
[07:33] <neopsyche> it seems
[07:33] <Daemonus> i want to put it in the desktop
[07:33] <american> do all i have to do is "sudo apt-get install xmms"?
[07:33] <american> where will it install to?
[07:33] <osfameron> Jordan_U: ta, I'll have a look. Just installed ardour, which is also ugly (but in a shiny chrome way) :-)
[07:33] <neopsyche> Daemonus, what you are saying is.. you want to put the folder into itslef.
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Jkessler, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[07:34] <neopsyche> apparently
[07:34] <osfameron> Jordan_U: but yeah, I guess it does need setup, so far record doesn't do anything, I'll have a play
[07:34] <Daemonus> then how can i put the my computer folder to my desktop?
[07:34] <Jkessler> i haven't checked there..  every tutorial i read says i need to compile a new kernel
[07:34] <osfameron> Jordan_U: eeek!  I need to plug it into jackd?
[07:34] <Jkessler> after some patching
[07:34] <Daemonus> i just a link
[07:34] <mosibfu> witakr, i hate to bring it to you, but your nvidia card isnt even showing up in lspci, there is a more core problem..
[07:34] <Daemonus> want*
[07:34] <Jkessler> i'm a noob.. i want to do this right
[07:34] <tyler_d> looking for vpn(pptp) alternatives
[07:35] <Jkessler> so i just follow instructions
[07:35] <gregory> Jkessler: what is the internet address of the tutorial?
[07:35] <Jordan_U> osfameron, ardour isn't what I would call ugly, it's professional. It's a lot like the interface of Apple's Pro Tools.
[07:35] <witakr> mosibfu, my card isnt installed right now
[07:35] <Stroganoff> Jkessler: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy
[07:35] <Jordan_U> osfameron, Yea, and for that you need a real time kernel :) It's not worth it for what you are doing
[07:35] <mosibfu> ok if u install the card now, without installing the driver, it works?
[07:35] <witakr> no
[07:35] <Jkessler> http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=17f60fe848e413bece473bb79041eff1&topic=2845.0
[07:36] <gregory> Jkessler: thats not official ubuntu documentation, please follow the tutorial given by Stroganoff
[07:36] <osfameron> Jordan_U: oh, you have to recompile kernel to get ardour working?
[07:36] <american> ok.  i installed xmms.  How do i set it so that double clicking an mp3 will launch xmms?
[07:36] <mosibfu> witakr, so it again doesnt boot?
[07:36] <Jkessler> alright
[07:36] <Jordan_U> osfameron, No, just grab the real time kernel package
[07:37] <dnyy> anyone using hardy haron?
[07:37] <Jordan_U> american, Right click an mp3, choose properties -> open with
[07:37] <gregory> dnyy: /join +ubuntu+1
[07:37] <gregory> dnyy: type /join #ubuntu+1
[07:37] <Jkessler> oh.. i need a patched driver
[07:37] <american> thanks Jordan_U
[07:37] <witakr> mosibfu, simply put, card in the pci slot = no boot/hardfreeze --- card NOT in the pci slot = normal boot
[07:37] <Jordan_U> american, np
[07:37] <dnyy> gregory thanks :]
[07:38] <mosibfu> same with live cd?
[07:38] <Jkessler> i need this installed http://www.latinsud.com/bcm/
[07:38] <Jkessler> that's why i need to compile a new kernel
[07:39] <witakr> yes
[07:40] <witakr> but I am not using the livecd, i have a full install

[07:42] <mosibfu> witakr, is there a way of turning off the on-board device in the bios, if so, does it boot with just the nvidia?
[07:42] <Jkessler> ok, thanks
[07:43] <amitprakash> is there an app which allows me to limit how much charging is to be done for the laptop battery?

[07:46] <gregory> berent: what is a "global ip"?
[07:47] <mosibfu> hard to determine the time of crash tho
[07:47] <berent> gregory: internet ip
[07:47] <gregory> berent: ifconfig
[07:47] <berent> gregory: wrong
[07:47] <Xristofer> can someone help me configure wireless?
[07:48] <gregory> berent: so help yourself please
[07:48] <berent> which is best way to know the global ip on command line? anyone
[07:49] <witakr> mosibfu, here is the syslog, this is big: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63385/
[07:50] <powertoo108> i tried to delete a dir with "rm -r <dir>" and its asking for permission to transcend into all subdirectories, how do i turn this off, or give it a blanket yes in this instance?
[07:51] <murat_> hi
[07:51] <amitprakash> is there an app which allows me to limit how much charging is to be done for the laptop battery?
[07:52] <witakr> mosibfu, and here is the dmesg thing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63386/
[07:52] <mosibfu> witakr, thats a new log already, no crash in there
[07:53] <phish> My microphone is unbelievably low. I've got that +20dB thing on and yet it's still.. incredible low. (astoundingly low) What can i do?
[07:53] <witakr> i dont think it records a log because when it freezes it hardfreezes, no keyborad response at all
[07:54] <mosibfu> witakr, it shows what it was doing just before it froze
[07:54] <gregory> powertoo108: works here, could you post a pastebin?
[07:55] <powertoo108> gregory: thanks i got it by adding -f (force)

[07:57] <Xristofer> the firmware for my wireless card is not in use
[07:57] <Jordan_U> berent, Quick and dirty command I just came up with: wget -O - http://checkip.dyndns.org/ 2> /dev/null | sed s/[^0-9]//g
[07:57] <Xristofer> when i try to enable it, it says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled.  anyone know how i fix this?
[07:57] <samu> hi all
[07:58] <mike__> what directory are screen savers found in
[07:58] <mosibfu> witakr, do they have any nvidia or nv in there (ctrl+f)
[07:58] <mosibfu> the other .0 too
[07:59] <berent> Jordan_U : Bravo. but I dont understand why doesn;t we have something so basic as a command line tool.??
[08:00] <berent> Jordan_U : oh that gives me whole thing to convert again
[08:00] <Jordan_U> berent, 1: There may be one available that I just don't know about 2: It requires an external server to query ( in this case dyndns's )
[08:00] <acidicbase> where and what do I add so that that in shell it includes my current directory in the path? (ie instead of ./a.out i can just do a.out) ?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> berent, I'm not sure what you mean
[08:01] <Xristofer> Can someone help me enable software source for package bcm43xx-fwcutter?  Its firmware for my wireless card.
[08:01] <berent> Jordan_U : i got something like this with ur command. 117192100176
[08:02] <Jordan_U> acidicbase, add this line to your ~/.profile "PATH=$PATH:."
[08:02] <Jordan_U> berent, Oh, let me fix it so it doesn't strip the period too :)
[08:03] <Jordan_U> berent,  wget -O - http://checkip.dyndns.org/ 2> /dev/null | sed s/[^0-9\.]//g
[08:03] <samu> guys

[08:04] <bullgard4> What 'type' prints the English version of gnome-search-tool for the file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic/Documentation?
[08:04] <AlexC_> is there any issues caused by chmoding /etc/passwd to say '0600' or '0644'?
[08:05] <AlexC_> does it have to be readable by group and others, if the owner is root and group is root?
[08:05] <noble-> AlexC_: why not chmod 700?
[08:05] <berent> !hardy
[08:05] <ubotu> 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
[08:06] <AlexC_> noble-, because it doesn't need to be executed ... ?
[08:07] <Jordan_U> AlexC_, I can't think of any off hand, but some programs might want to know a given user's login shell for instance, any reason you want to change it?
[08:09] <AlexC_> Jordan_U, I just don't like the fact users can view it all =3. However, looking around it does need to be readable by users, which makes sense
[08:13] <gregory> neopsyche: do you already have mysql installed?

[08:16] <salutis> hello all, I need help - how can I detect from bash script that I am running in chrooted enviroment? there's "/proc" mounted and I don't like solution with temporary files. any suggestions please?
[08:16] <robotjox> i tried webmin, but i'd like to try something else that's maybe a bit more intuitive
[08:17] <amitprakash> how do i make /proc/acpi/events folder???
[08:17] <Jordan_U> salutis, ( don't know if this will work but... ) check if /and /.. have the same inode?
[08:17] <kelvin911> does utorrent download faster in ubuntu?
[08:17] <kelvin911> which torrent client is the best in ubuntu?
[08:17] <salutis> Jordan_U: inode of what?
[08:18] <gregory> !best | kelvin911
[08:18] <ubotu> kelvin911: 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.
[08:18] <Jordan_U> salutis, "ls -di /" and "ls -di /.."

[08:20] <amitprakash> noble-, permissions.. :) its /proc remember
[08:20] <phish> Anyone know? this sound is beyond annoying :(
[08:20] <samu> bye guys see you later
[08:20] <salutis> Jordan_U: it's interesting, but... the script must compare two root-inode's, but it have only one number (of chrooted inode) :-(
[08:20] <hyperstream> guys with gnash flash player plugin for firefox- im having some issues
[08:20] <noble-> sudo mkdir /proc/acpi/events ?
[08:21] <hyperstream> guys with gnash flash player plugin for firefox- im having some issues - Some sites dont load properly, its choppy and laggy
[08:22] <gregory> neopsyche: try this. i cannot reprocude here because i am on hardy beta. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601354
[08:22] <Jordan_U> salutis, No, I am thinking ( havn't tested it yet ) that /.. will be a link to the directory "above" the chroot, hence having a different inode, whereas the true root has no parent directory so / and /.. would be the same, that might still be true in a chroot though
[08:23] <Jordan_U> hyperstream, gnash is still in development
[08:23] <hyperstream> Jordan_U:  how do i get rid of it and get proper one installed?
[08:24] <Jordan_U> saloxin_, Although that would only work if you aren't chrooting into a different file system
[08:24] <salutis> Jordan_U: jordan, perfect idea! i will try this
[08:25] <babo> what's the story with creating a folder in /tmp ? How long can i expect that folder to exist ?

[08:26] <ay^> powertoo108: what did you do?
[08:27] <mosibfu> disturbing fact, teamspeak2 doesnt have alsa in linux client, but wine on alsa + ts2 windows works fine

[08:28] <Idefix> Hello. I have installed Ubuntu 7.10. When I want to install certain packages (with syntapic) is asks me sometimes to insert the CD. Is there a way that I can make syntapic/apt-get always to use the internet to get its packages from?
[08:28] <ay^> powertoo108: if you want to install apps using aptitude just 'sudo aptitude' '/' for search
[08:28] <powertoo108> ay^: i realize that, but its looking for the tgz and the folders compressed in it, so where do i extract them to solve the error?
[08:28] <Jordan_U> Idefix, System -> Administration -> Software Sources, disable CD
[08:28] <Idefix> ok tnx
[08:28] <ay^> powertoo108: is aptitude looking for files in a compressed archive? Thats has never happened to me

[08:32] <HSNews> how to determine VGA-card? I want to download driver for it, but I don't know which model is it
[08:32] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, Do you have universe enabled?
[08:32] <Crshman> bitraiser, i use wget for singular links....but something that i can copy/paste large batches of files into would be a plus
[08:32] <ay^> powertoo108: so there shouldn't be any need to manually put a package anywhere on your harddrive
[08:32] <linggz> I want to install xbuntu but I don't have a cdrom installed in my laptop, how do I do that ?
[08:32] <powertoo108> ay^: i know, thats what i don't understand about the error, its like its looking for pre-existing directories to install to but they aren't there
[08:32] <Jordan_U> HSNews, Try System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[08:32] <bitraiser> HSNews, lspci(8)
[08:32] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: yes i do
[08:32] <ay^> powertoo108: could you cut'n'paste the error?
[08:33] <linggz> anybody can help me please
[08:33] <hyperstream> Jordan_U:  how do i get rid of it and get proper one installed?
[08:33] <hyperstream> Jordan_U: gnash that is how to remove it and install adobe?
[08:33] <bitraiser> Crshman, ah for that I use sed, and allow a shell script to download it all via wget :)
[08:33] <ay^> linggz: you could install it through a USB-stick if your computers bios supports that
[08:34] <Crshman> bitraiser, sounds like a lot of work =(
[08:34] <powertoo108> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63393/
[08:34] <linggz> ay^, Unfortunately my laptop doesn't support it..
[08:35] <bitraiser> Crshman, I'm sure there is some kind of GUI tool out there that should simplify things for you , I just don't use them, perhaps someone else may give you some better hint on that
[08:35] <bitraiser> Anyone have experience with distcc?
[08:35] <linggz> ay^, is there another ways ?
[08:35] <Jordan_U> hyperstream, sudo apt-get remove gnash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:35] <ay^> powertoo108: is that * suppose to be there?
[08:35] <linggz> ay^, my laptop has no floppy disk to... (P III)
[08:36] <kraypius>  Is it safe to use this repo to install webmin?? deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
[08:36] <ay^> linggz: whats on the laptop now?
[08:36] <powertoo108> ay^: i believe so, it was in the documentation on the wiki
[08:36] <ay^> mkay..
[08:36] <ay^> looks wierd
[08:36] <ay^> you could try without
[08:37] <cpk1> kraypius: if you want something like webmin look into ebox which is what ubuntu is replacing webmin with
[08:37] <linggz> ay^, I have HDD 30 GB, netw card mem 256 MB
[08:37] <osfameron> dammit!  The -rt kernel won't boot
[08:37] <osfameron> oh... this time it's doing a bit better
[08:37] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, That * is being replaced by the names of the files in your current directory
[08:37] <gregory> bitraiser: try #ubuntu-devel
[08:37] <osfameron> maybe it's because it was trying to restore a session hibernated with another kernel?
[08:37] <ay^> linggz: I meant OS-wise :) you could download xubuntu 8.04 and do one of those wubi-installs using some isoloader like daemon tools I suppose
[08:37] <bitraiser> gregory, thanks
[08:38] <ay^> linggz: probably would work in linux somehow too
[08:38] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, A simple example of this happening try "echo *"
[08:38] <linggz> ay^, o IC I have win xp installed...
[08:38] <ay^> linggz: great then it _should_work0~1~
[08:39] <ay^> argh I'm off for a bit, my son wants food and my daughter wants sleep bbl
[08:39] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, The command doesn't know it's a file name, it just get's passed the word, so aptitude is trying to install packages for every file name in your current directory :)
[08:39] <kraypius>  cpk1, will that webmin repo be okay to use though?
[08:39] <Rolcol> Can someone please help me?  I was messing with the screen settings to get my TV to show the contents of my computer screen and I restarted the computer and It switched over to only using the external port (from my laptop) as the default auto video source.  Whenever I boot into Ubuntu it launches the terminal and all I have is text-based Ubuntu.  It works fine when I connect it to my television but it's annoying.  Right now I'm running Kubuntu from a
[08:39] <Rolcol> Live CD.  Is there a file I can edit to restore the defaults?
[08:39] <kraypius>  i dont want to jump into ebox right now
[08:40] <linggz> ay^, I want running linux on ext3, is it possible using wubi ?
[08:40] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, What documentation are you reading? If it's a wiki I would like to fix the error
[08:40] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: ay^ ok thanks, without the * its error free but my program still doesn't work, i'll check the wiki some more thanks for the help
[08:40] <bitraiser> Rolcol, if you made a backup of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf you should be able to revert to the previous settings by just overwriting the current one
[08:41] <HSNews> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server
[08:41] <ay^> linggz: yes that should be possible afaik
[08:41] <HSNews> how to install it? it doesn't exists
[08:41] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: its a metasploit wiki, still want to change it?
[08:41] <bitraiser> Rolcol, that is if you even backed it up
[08:41] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, Perhaps the * was meant to be directly after the package name ( i.e. no space )
[08:41] <cpk1> kraypius: you would be much better off grabbing a .deb for ubuntu or finding a repo for ubuntu, or just compiling. that repo you have might work, might not, might cause problems
[08:41] <Rolcol> bitraiser: I didn't...
[08:41] <linggz> ay^, OK thanks, I will explore about wubi first... :)
[08:41] <cpk1> kraypius: like I said it might be worth looking into ebox which *is* in the repos, both webmin and ebox seem easy to use/learn
[08:42] <ay^> linggz: do that and in case, good luck!
[08:42] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: perhaps, i'll try it that way too
[08:42] <bitraiser> Rolcol, did you manually edit the file or did you use some kind of GUI to make those changes earlier?
[08:42] <HSNews> what to do with .deb files?
[08:42] <Rolcol> GUI
[08:42] <arvind_khadri> HSNews, dpkg it
[08:42] <bitraiser> HSNews, install them
[08:42] <HSNews> 10x
[08:42] <ay^> sudo HSNews: dpkg - i packa_name.deb
[08:42] <Jordan_U> powertoo108, sure, gotta help the script kitties :)
[08:42] <joack> anyone here know how to use fsck?
[08:43] <ay^> HSNews: sudo dpkg -i packa_name.deb
[08:43] <ay^> :)
[08:43] <arvind_khadri> joack, which filesystem
[08:43] <joack> i don't know
[08:43] <Rolcol> bitraiser: GUI
[08:43] <arvind_khadri> joack, use fdisk -l
[08:43] <Baughn> I was going to install an ubuntu system today, but given the date.. when is the next version going to be released?
[08:43] <joack> when I boot up.. I see unknown-block(8,1) I think refers to 0801 977904 sda1 which needs to be confirmed
[08:43] <ay^> Baughn: 8 days
[08:43] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: lol http://metasploit.com/dev/trac/wiki/Metasploit3/InstallUbuntu
[08:44] <joack> i tried running fsck /dev/sda1
[08:44] <joack> Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8).
[08:44] <Baughn> ay^: Will it be as easy to upgrade as debian?
[08:44] <SitUbuntuSit> Since Kubunu seems dead, how can you install a sound theme in kubuntu?
[08:44] <joack> it asks if I want to Clear<y>?
[08:44] <arvind_khadri> joack never run fsck when ext3 has been mounted
[08:44] <ay^> Baughn: I have no clue :(
[08:44] <arvind_khadri> joack, fsck on ext3 when mounted can cause serious probs
[08:44] <powertoo108> Jordan_U: I don't think of myself as a script kiddie, i'm not out to uber-pwn the world, just make sure some punk doesn't pwn me
[08:44] <bazhang> Baughn: the upgrade is fairly simple yes
[08:45] <joack> it's not mounted right now
[08:45] <Baughn> joack: Never fsck /any/ filesystem that is mounted. It can and will lead to destruction
[08:45] <bitraiser> Rolcol, so when you start your regular system now (not with the LiveCD), you don't get the GDM (the graphical welcome screen where you're asked to enter username/password) and instead you end up in some kind of Terminal...what error do you get there, might be worth looking at your /var/log/Xorg.X.log
[08:45] <ay^> Baughn: I never upgradedDebian on ubuntu before
[08:45] <arvind_khadri> joack, then its ok...well whats the exact error
[08:45] <Rolcol> Alright.  let me mount the filesystem
[08:45] <Baughn> ay^: Huh?
[08:45] <joack> what shoudl i run?
[08:45] <joack> fsck -r /dev/sda1
[08:45] <joack> ?
[08:46] <Baughn> joack: *Unmount it first*
[08:46] <ay^> Baughn: erh.. the ON is supposed to be OR
[08:46] <arvind_khadri> joack,whats the error you were getting
[08:46] <joack> i've booted off a live cd

[08:46] <linggz> HI all, anyone knows about tiny erp ?
[08:46] <joack> no i'm not
[08:46] <joack> sure
[08:46] <FloodBot1> joack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:47] <idefix> run commands also by mouse...
[08:47] <HSNews> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server needed
[08:47] <HSNews> But I cant' apt-get it
[08:47] <joack> how can i tell if it's ext3?
[08:47] <bitraiser> idefix, history(3)
[08:47] <Baughn> joack: If it /works/, mounting it should tell you
[08:47] <Baughn> joack: If it's broken.. er, then you'd better already know
[08:47] <arvind_khadri> HSNews, cfdisk
[08:47] <linggz> I just install tiny erp, I've got tiny client short cut, but I don't have tiny erp server shot cut, how do i find the server (tiny erp)?
[08:48] <joack> went i boot i see  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
[08:48] <bitraiser> idefix, nvm, didn't see your msg "run commands also by mouse"
[08:48] <joack> so I'm assuming it's not 'fine'
[08:48] <bazhang> HSNews: what error do you get
[08:48] <Baughn> joack: No, that error means it's not trying to mount at all
[08:49] <HSNews> ----
[08:49] <HSNews> You need to install the package
[08:49] <HSNews> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server
[08:49] <HSNews> for this program to work.
[08:49] <FloodBot1> HSNews: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:49] <HSNews> that is
[08:49] <Baughn> joack: "unknown-block" == "I have no idea what device this is, it's numbered 8-1, but that doesn't map to anything I know about"
[08:49] <joack> umm
[08:49] <Baughn> joack: You could try passing root=/dev/sda1 to the kernel. Unless it's using a ramdisk, I suppose - I try to avoid those.
[08:49] <DarkED> hi, i seem to be having a problem with the nvidia-legacy driver. i've installed ubuntu 8.04 and everything is going well except it seems as though i have no 3d accel. i'm using a geforce 2 GTS and the restricted drivers manager says that nvidia-legacy is enabled but not in use. how do i put it to use? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but got nothing on reconfiguring the video driver
[08:49] <Rolcol> bitraiser: I get this error when I try to mount /dev/sda3 (Linux Partition):  hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 999
[08:50] <joack> i'm only on ramdisk for recovery
[08:50] <Baughn> joack: Not what I meant
[08:50] <Baughn> joack: initrd
[08:50] <bazhang> DarkED: that would be best discussed in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[08:50] <joack> oh
[08:50] <DarkED> bazhang, okay, thanks
[08:50] <joack> trying to run initrd from inside ramdisk linux
[08:50] <joack> would that work?
[08:50] <Baughn> joack: Or it might be that it doesn't have the appropriate drivers to read the disk, which would have the same symptoms with less output
[08:50] <Baughn> joack: That makes no sense
[08:50] <joack> i think it should ahve the drivers
[08:50] <akio> what is ubuntu+1?
[08:51] <joack> it detects
[08:51] <Live> hi, somebody tries to use ubuntu on a tablet-pc ? i don't find any documentation about that?
[08:51] <idefix> are there ubuntu programmers who access your PC for maintainance or collecting bug info?
[08:51] <joack> md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
[08:51] <joack> md: autorun ...
[08:51] <FloodBot1> joack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:51] <bazhang> akio the hardy channel
[08:51] <Baughn> joack: The initrd is a ramdisk that's used by a (specific) kernel to load modules, do hardware initialization and such in advance of mounting the root disk
[08:51] <joack> and finds 8 partions
[08:51] <akio> ahh
[08:51] <akio> cool im there
[08:51] <akio> i have a hardy issue
[08:51] <Rolcol> bitraiser: Nevermind.  I managed to mount it after running dolphin as root
[08:51] <Baughn> joack: Keyword being "specific kernel".
[08:51] <joack> ah
[08:51] <bitraiser> Rolcol, good, take a look at your /var/log/Xorg.X.log
[08:51] <joack> yeah
[08:51] <joack> so i guess i need to check out my lilo settings
[08:51] <joack> and make sure it's set correctly
[08:52] <acidicbase> anyone know where and what do I add so that that in shell it includes my current directory in the path? (ie instead of ./a.out i can just do a.out) ?
[08:52] <joack> though, I'm not sure howt o do that
[08:52] <Baughn> joack: In your "ramdisk linux" thing - the rescue cd, or whatever - the ramdisk /is/ the root disk. Totally different. Sort of.
[08:52] <joack> yes, I understand taht
[08:52] <Baughn> joack: I don't suppose I could convince you to reinstall ubuntu? That would undoubtedly be faster.
[08:52] <joack> how do I mount / edit lilo config files to see if it would boot with /dev/sda1
[08:52] <joack> well
[08:53] <Baughn> joack: Well, where /is/ the lilo config file? On /dev/sda1?
[08:53] <joack> that would result in huge data lose
[08:53] <Rolcol> bitraiser: Xorg.0.log?
[08:53] <Rolcol> that's the only one I can find
[08:53] <joack> that I don't know
[08:53] <Baughn> joack: See, that's why you're supposed to keep /home on a separate partition
[08:53] <Rolcol> bitraiser: There is also Xorg.9.log
[08:53] <joack> why is that
[08:53] <bitraiser> Rolcol, should be ...it should be rather on the bottom if you run   ls -lStr
[08:54] <Baughn> joack: ..so the installation program doesn't overwrite it
[08:54] <Baughn> joack: No can do, then. I could suggest mounting sda1, chrooting in and editing lilo.conf, but that won't work if you /don't know where it is/.
[08:54] <bitraiser> Rolcol, the one that has been touched last (most recent timestamp)
[08:54] <joack> where is lilo.conf normally located
[08:55] <bitraiser> joack, /etc/lilo.conf
[08:55] <joack> ah
[08:55] <Baughn> joack: /etc on the root partition
[08:55] <Baughn> Whatever that is
[08:55] <joack> is there any way to know what unknown-block(8,1)  means
[08:56] <Baughn> Yes. Reading lilo.conf.
[08:56] <joack> what is the '8' and what is the '1'
[08:56] <joack> only through lilo.conf is what you're saying
[08:56] <Baughn> joack: Major and minor device number. It wouldn't mean anything to you, I expect
[08:57] <Baughn> joack: FWIW, 8-1 should be /dev/sdb
[08:57] <joack> List of all partitions:
[08:57] <joack> 0800 488281088 sda driver: sd
[08:57] <joack> 0801 977904 sda1
[08:57] <Baughn> joack: Oh, sorry
[08:57] <Baughn> joack: 8-1 should be /dev/sda1
[08:57] <joack> yeah
[08:57] <Baughn> 8-0 is /dev/sda, 8-16 is /dev/sdb, 8-18 is /dev/sdb2..
[08:57] <Baughn> So it goes
[08:59] <joack> all right I'll try mount sda1
[08:59] <Baughn> joack: Anyhow, if the kernel doesn't /know/ that, then that suggests that the kernel doesn't have support for scsi/sata disks. Which would explain why it's not working.
[08:59] <joack> to read lilo conf
[08:59] <joack> how would it detect the raid devices
[08:59] <joack> if it doesn't have the drivers?
[08:59] <joack> md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
[08:59] <joack> md: autorun ...
[09:00] <joack> md: ... autorun DONE.
[09:00] <Baughn> joack: That's for detecting *RAID arrays*
[09:00] <Baughn> joack: And I'll note that it doesn't seem to be detecting anything
[09:00] <joack> here is the full log
[09:00] <joack> http://98.207.168.144/log.txt
[09:01] <joack> notice it does the detection.. and finds various partions
[09:01] <Baughn> ..hmm
[09:01] <joack> so i would assume if it can find the partions it has the drivers
[09:01] <bartmon> Baughn: integrated RAM on consumer motherboards sucks anyway.
[09:01] <bartmon> Baughn: Sorry, measnt RAID :)ž
[09:01] <Baughn> ..well, this is bizarre
[09:01] <kamen> pls help howto instal Pleomax PWC 3800 Web cam for ubuntu
[09:01] <Baughn> bartmon: This was for software raid. Much better.
[09:02] <Baughn> joack: ..yes, and the kernel seems to be schizophrenic
[09:02] <bartmon> oh!
[09:02] <Baughn> joack: One moment it says "0801 ... sda1", the next it claims not to know what 0801 is called
[09:02] <joack> yeah :(
[09:02] <Baughn> joack: Oh, but it does seem to be trying to mount it. It's just failing.
[09:03] <Baughn> joack: So it's not a functional ext3 fs, ext2 fs or xfs fs..
[09:03] <Baughn> joack: Are you *sure* it's supposed to be ext3?
[09:03] <joack> no
[09:03] <visik7> google code down ?
[09:03] <joack> i don't know what it's suppose to be
[09:03] <Baughn> joack: You'll have to fsck it, but if you get it wrong you'll just destroy it
[09:03] <Baughn> joack: Well, who installed this system?
[09:03] <joack> 1and1
[09:03] <Baughn> Huh?
[09:03] <JacobSingh> Hi, I can't connect to imaps (993) from PHP in 7.10, I don't see an imap-ssl package, and google has not revealed anything
[09:03] <joack> www.1and1.co.uk
[09:03] <JacobSingh> does anyone know how to fix this?
[09:04] <joack> it's an image
[09:04] <joack> they have
[09:04] <JacobSingh> connecting to 143 is fine, and connecting to 993 from thunderbird, etc is fine
[09:04] <joack> we didn't install it ourselves
[09:04] <Baughn> joack: Then you should ask them.
[09:05] <joack> yeah, I don't think they're around yet
[09:05] <joack> was hoping I could get this fixed, but I guess not
[09:06] <joack> how well does fsck'ing normally work?
[09:06] <bartmon> well, that's another FireFox hang...
[09:07] <Baughn> joack: There is no "normal" fsck, except the one that isn't needed
[09:07] <Baughn> joack: I generally just say yes to everything and hope for the best
[09:07] <MrMist> Hey guys
[09:08] <joack> I need to start making more regular backups :(
[09:08] <neil_d> I have installed the program 'virtual midi keyboard' version 1.9 it isn't making any sounds any idea why ?
[09:08] <hcoal> Does anyone know when AMD plan to release drivers for the HD 3850 cards?  They only seem to support up to the HD2900 on their site.
[09:08] <MrMist> small question: Is there a simple way of defining a script to be run when logging out of X ?
[09:09] <bartmon> I hope they pick up the pace with their driver updating because ATI drivers suck ATM. And this moment is like years long.
[09:10] <Jordan_U> salutis, Did you get my message on how to detect if you are in a chroot?
[09:12] <osfameron> Jordan_U: sorry - for setting up jackd realtime, do you recommend the set_rlimits approach?
[09:14] <MrMist> Hmm
[09:14] <MrMist> anyone experienced with PostSession/Default?
[09:14] <MrMist> Where is this called?
[09:16] <MrMist> I've seen someone point out that this script is run when someone logs out

[09:19] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:19] <majikins> I'm trying to do the following - create a simple input form on a pc
[09:19] <majikins> running ubuntu
[09:19] <art> helo everyone
[09:19] <neil_d> I have installed the program vkeybd 'virtual midi keyboard' version 1.9 it isn't making any sounds any idea why ?
[09:19] <majikins> have a community center and would like the users to be able to comment/suggest etc
[09:19] <majikins> so would like a link that opens up a form with the usual
[09:20] <majikins> but stores the submission locally - not e-mailed
[09:20] <majikins> still trying to get my head around php
[09:20] <art> this is my first time using this channel. want to be my friend.  i am learning ubuntu. i like it.
[09:20] <majikins> all examples show e-mailing submission
[09:20] <co_macho> ce_RoCk
[09:21] <art> i need a friend who is very familiar with ubuntu. hello there.
[09:21] <bazhang> co_macho: you have a support question? this is ubuntu support channel
[09:21] <majikins> anyone hav suggestions on how I can do this?
[09:22] <bazhang> art you need to ask if you have any particular issues; if someone knows they will help; reading some of the links in the topic will illuminate any confusion you may be having
[09:22] <art> ok sir. as of this time i have no question yet.  i am learning.
[09:23] <neil_d> art: one place to chat is #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:23] <art> ok thanks for the info.
[09:23] <majikins> anyone?
[09:24] <swuboo> art:  Alternatively, you can always just sit in this room and read what passes.  There's a lot of knowledge to be gained by just listening in here.
[09:24] <neil_d> majikins: how about storing the form data in a database.
[09:26] <bartmon> hey! Which terminal tool can tell me information about installed packages like version, description? Thank you.
[09:26] <superactive> Is there a way to update my version of Ubuntu to the 64-bit version?
[09:27] <majikins> neil_d : how would I go about doing that?
[09:27] <sisseck> Hi everyone, could anyone point me in the right direction for changing settings for screensavers. I've seen it in kubuntu i think it was, but in ubuntu i cant seem to get an advanced tab for the different screensavers
[09:28] <HSNews> how to determine count of RAM?
[09:28] <HSNews> in MB
[09:28] <icesword> determine count?
[09:29] <quentusrex> what is a good ubuntu C IDE?
[09:29] <HSNews> I mean, show info about RAM
[09:29] <quentusrex> something that might work with git?
[09:29] <neil_d> majikins: that is a php problem, google etc. for how to access your database though php.  but basically you change the php file that generates the email to instead put the data into the database.
[09:29] <Wellark> quentusrex: emacs :p
[09:29] <majikins> ok
[09:30] <quentusrex> I'm talking about a full IDE. :-D not emacs
[09:30] <Ademan> quentusrex: i'm a big fan of vim, emacs might suit you as well, but if you want a *real* IDE, eclipse + cdt is pretty damn solid, anjuta is getting better, although i dunno if it supports git, and kdevelop is pretty good and probably supports git
[09:30] <Ademan> quentusrex: btw, emacs is a full operating system :-p
[09:30] <Xecuter> hi! I'm having trouble getting my midi-keyboard working! its connected to my echo mia midi input, but there is no evidence on the computer what so ever that things are happening when i press the keys on the keyboard... what should i do?
[09:30] <DistroJockey> HSNews: in a terminal, you can type:   cat /proc/meminfo
[09:30] <Wellark> Ademan: http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2008/Ideas/AnjutaGit
[09:31] <HSNews> thanks
[09:31] <quentusrex> cdt? I'll look into that

[09:33] <HSNews> how to increase free RAM memory? With 'X' free RAM is: 81MB/512. I exit from 'X' and free RAM become: 127MB/512. Can I increase free memory else?

[09:34] <Xecuter> HSNews, you have to buy more ram :P
[09:34] <HSNews> Cached:         243704 kB
[09:34] <HSNews> SwapCached:          0 kB
[09:34] <HSNews> It's mean Spaw OFF?
[09:35] <HSNews> why spawcached is 0 kB?
[09:35] <HSNews> and RAM Cached 243MB ?
[09:35] <Ademan> I assume that means your computer is not having to use swap (virtual memory)
[09:35] <kelvin911> why my upload speed in azureus is always 0KB/s???
[09:35] <nagyv> hello! I would like to print a pdf file with custom paper size, but ubuntu. How can I set this up in Ubuntu?
[09:36] <Xecuter> kelvin911, have you put on a limiter?
[09:36] <sisseck> Kelvin911 are you sure the upload ports are open to the internet?
[09:36] <kelvin911> how to open it?
[09:36] <HSNews> hm.. I install Ubuntu Server 7.10 Automaticaly... and It disable swap?
[09:36] <kelvin911> i didnt alter any setting
[09:36] <HSNews> how to turn on swap? anybody know?
[09:36] <kelvin911> turn on swap?
[09:36] <nagyv> or how could I make a html to latex conversion?
[09:36] <kelvin911> in gparted right click swap
[09:36] <kelvin911> then swapon
[09:37] <sisseck> kelvin911 if you use a router you probably have to set it up to forward the correct ports to your computer. The way to do this depends on the router type
[09:37] <kelvin911> i dont have router
[09:37] <kelvin911> its nice to have only download
[09:37] <kelvin911> the download is alright at 70KB/s
[09:37] <kelvin911> but no upload
[09:37] <sisseck> kelvin911 then i dont know whats wrong
[09:37] <arvind_khadri> X crashes as soon as i minimize FF
[09:38] <kelvin911> in windows, my torrent client can get to sometimes 300KB/s
[09:38] <Ademan> how can i extract plain text from a pdf?
[09:38] <kelvin911> but recenly only 100KB/s after i change it to sp2
[09:38] <nagyv> Ademan: use pdftotext
[09:39] <Xecuter> hi! I'm having trouble getting my midi-keyboard working! its connected to my echo mia midi input, but there is no evidence on the computer what so ever that things are happening when i press the keys on the keyboard... what should i do?
[09:39] <Ademan> thanks nagyv
[09:39] <sisseck> Does anyone know how to setup advanced settings for screensavers?
[09:39] <arvind_khadri>  X crashes as soon as i minimize FF
[09:40] <DistroJockey> HSNews: in that  /proc/meminfo  it states how much swap you have (SwapTotal:) and how much of it is free (SwapFree:)
[09:40] <ezquerro> hi to everybody
[09:40] <ezquerro> the .cache dir in my home folder is 7.5GB
[09:40] <DJones> arvind_khadri: Just out of interest, did you manage to solve phrozen...'s problem yesterday, I had to go out so missed whether you managed to help him
[09:41] <ezquerro> how can i clean it on every shutdown?
[09:41] <ezquerro> and, should i clean it or will it be a bad idea?
[09:41] <mask> hi folks, i need to install smb services on one of our ubuntu machine on network for file sharing, can u tell me how to do this
[09:41] <arvind_khadri> DJones, i was able to get his libc6 working and after that he went off
[09:41] <Orbixx_> sudo apt-get install samba
[09:41] <HSNews> DistroJockey, thank you
[09:42] <DJones> arvind_khadri: thats good
[09:42] <DarkED> hi... how can i get to the video configuration gui?

[09:44] <arvind_khadri> how to install ice weasel
[09:45] <KennethP> HSNews: htop is a bit more sofisticated
[09:46] <kelvin911> torrent is slow in ubuntu why?
[09:46] <kelvin911> i can downlaod torrent much faster in windows on the same machine
[09:46] <bartmon> kelvin911: try changing the port your bittorrent client uses
[09:46] <stefan> hoi
[09:46] <HSNews> what `top` mean by: %MEM 3.1 ?
[09:46] <HSNews> 3.1/100% of RAM ?
[09:46] <kelvin911> bartmon: to which port?
[09:46] <kelvin911> bartmon: how do i know which port is open?
[09:47] <HSNews> can it show mem usage in MB?
[09:48] <bartmon> kelvin911: Just use something random between 10000 and 64000
[09:48] <mask> DistroJockey: i dont have samba server on my machine and i can access windows network using smb://<ip>, what does it means
[09:48] <mask> i have ubuntu 7.04
[09:48] <DistroJockey> mask: means you have the samba client
[09:48] <Ademan> pdftotext ~/Downloads/ZopeBook-2_6.pdf - | festival --tts
[09:48] <Ademan> lol i'm falling asleep to this...
[09:49] <mask> means i dont need to install samba server on any new machine
[09:49] <mask> i will only need to install sambaclient
[09:49] <DistroJockey> mask: only on a Ubuntu machine if you want Windows client to connect to shares on it
[09:50] <kelvin911> some client uses port 80
[09:50] <neil_d> I have installed the program vkeybd 'virtual midi keyboard' version 1.9 it isn't making any sounds, it looks like I need to install some midi modules, anyone know what packages these are in ?
[09:50] <kelvin911> u seen that b4?
[09:50] <mask> no thats not what i required
[09:50] <kelvin911> i remember last year i live with someone
[09:50] <bartmon> kelvin911: port 80 is reserved for HTTP servers
[09:50] <bb4> How can I see which packages were installed with a specific version instead of taking automatically the latest ?
[09:50]  * N3bunel saluta
[09:50] <kelvin911> he use some kinda p2p software that can use anything
[09:51] <kelvin911> i block his port higher than 1000
[09:51] <bartmon> kelvin911: ports below 1024 are reserved for standard services
[09:51] <kelvin911> and the network is fun
[09:51] <HyperStream> I have just installed Ubuntu onto my laptop- couldnt use the live cd, had to download the alternate, it gets 3/4 way through the loading screen and halts, how can i see what its doing in the background? so i can debug this issue
[09:51] <kelvin911> fine
[09:51] <DistroJockey> mask: from Ubuntu to Windows using smb works out of the box as far as I have seen
[09:51] <kelvin911> but then it is slow again
[09:51] <brie> The Esc key on my laptop's keyboard is broken, which has cause some problems is closing menus in certain programs.  Is there a way to emulate pressing Esc or some other solution?
[09:51] <kelvin911> i check all traffic, there are many connection in port 80
[09:51] <osfameron> brie: Ctrl-[
[09:51] <kelvin911> his p2p software can use port 80 to p2p
[09:51] <bartmon> kelvin911: Yeah, not all of those first 10234 ports are taken :)
[09:52] <brie> thanks
[09:52] <bartmon> kelvin911: Also seen that, yeah.
[09:52] <kelvin911> its crazy
[09:52] <kelvin911> so i just block his internet connection totally
[09:52] <mask> DistroJockey:can u tell me that command to install just samba client
[09:52] <brie> Ctrl-[ doesn't seems to work.
[09:52] <kelvin911> i just told him maybe his computer having problem
[09:52] <Spidla> Hi there, I have got a problem, I update my  Ubuntu from Gutsy to Hardy Beta... everything worked fine unless I downloades some updates... then my GNOME stopped working ... my computer is hanging during start-up before GDM login ... I cant get to the console a and even I cant stop the X server ... the only option is to powerdown my computer by hand ...I tried to reinstall GDM, xserver-driver-fglrx
[09:52] <Spidla>  ... I tried ati.com driver .. and now I have driver installed by envy script ... by my PC is still unusable ... everything is working fine with radeon or vesa driver but I need 3d acceleration for compiz ... any ideas ?
[09:53] <kelvin911> because i want to play online game for an hour
[09:53] <kelvin911> so i turn his connection back on after an hour, he doesnt know anything abiut computer... hehe
[09:53] <bartmon> kelvin911: Well if traffic hammering is forbidden  in some terms of internet service then you could've told him directly :)
[09:53] <kelvin911> which port should i choose?
[09:54] <kelvin911> um...
[09:54] <kelvin911> i cant think of a number now
[09:54] <DistroJockey> mask: not sure on that one. Is it not already installed?
[09:54] <kelvin911> 55555?
[09:54] <bartmon> use 54321
[09:54] <bartmon> whatever!
[09:54] <bartmon> whichever! ;)
[09:54] <acidicbase> anyone know where and what do I add so that that in shell it includes my current directory in the path? (ie instead of ./a.out i can just do a.out) ?

[09:55] <kelvin911> i own the router we share the internet
[09:55] <Spidla> please someone can help me ?
[09:55] <bartmon> phish: Doesn't it just work?
[09:55] <acidicbase> what is your problem
[09:56] <kelvin911> sometimes i just block his internet
[09:56] <sisseck> kelvin911: are you using a router?
[09:56] <swuboo> bartmon:  Probably doesn't if he's using ALSA.
[09:56] <Spidla> I have got a problem, I update my Ubuntu from Gutsy to Hardy Beta... everything worked fine unless I downloades some updates... then my GNOME stopped working ... my computer is hanging during start-up before GDM login ...

[09:56] <kelvin911> because he turns on the psp all the time even when he is not downloading anything
[09:56] <phish> bartmon: no i screwed something up :(

[09:56] <kelvin911> sisseck: that was last year
[09:56] <gurpreet> acidicbase, do "PATH=$PATH:." in one of your bash's startup files
[09:56] <kelvin911> sisseck: i am not using router now
[09:56] <arvind_khadri> Spidla, didnt the thing i gave you work??
[09:56] <bartmon> Spidla: Can't
[09:56] <acidicbase> bashrc?
[09:56] <acidicbase> ok
[09:56] <dirkg3nt1y> spammers dey follow me
[09:56] <bartmon> Spidla: Try using the older fglrx that the Restricted driver manager provides.
[09:57] <HyperStream> I have just installed Ubuntu onto my laptop- couldnt use the live cd, had to download the alternate, it gets 3/4 way through the loading screen and halts, how can i see what its doing in the background? so i can debug this issue
[09:57] <HyperStream> !boot problem
[09:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about boot problem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:57] <HyperStream> !laptop
[09:57] <ubotu> Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org
[09:57] <kelvin911> i am getting 200 KB/s dl and 18KB/s ul that is nice
[09:57] <Spidla> and how can i get that older drivers ? my update manager is still pushing the newest driver to the system
[09:57] <kelvin911> i didnt change the port number
[09:57] <sisseck> Hyperstream: i think you can see some of it by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 or maybe its f8,f9,f10 something like that
[09:58] <gurpreet> HyperStream, remove quite and splash from menu.lst file in /boot/grub for the kernel you are booting so that you can see whats going on
[09:58] <bartmon> phish: Well I don't really know how to help you. What you need is hardware mixing of multiple audio streams
[09:58] <HyperStream> gurpreet how do i edit the menu.lst from the grub loader?
[09:58] <sisseck> kelvin911: are you sure that it wasnt just a lack of people downloading from you that sent your upload to zero?
[09:59] <powertoo108> kelvin911: sounds like you could benefit from QoS, it gives your connection priority over theirs
[09:59] <bartmon> phish: this usually works out of the box. try looking under Preferences>Sound
[09:59] <IsAB> [11:56] <IsAB> does anyone know of a a way to set the system to 'hibenate' mode from the command prompt?
[09:59] <gurpreet> HyperStream, boot in recovery mode
[09:59] <phish> bartmon: currently i've got everything in my sound preferences set to ASLA (because i've got no idea what they're supposed to be at!)
[09:59] <mask> thanks dude
[09:59] <osfameron> phish: tell me about it...
[09:59] <swuboo> phish:  Is pulseaudio an option?
[09:59] <phish> i would imagine it's an option.
[10:00] <phish> is there a apt-get command for pulseaudio?
[10:00] <swuboo> phish:  In Gutsy?  I'm not sure.
[10:00] <swuboo> phish:  It's the default in Hardy, but I really have no idea about in Gutsy.
[10:00] <bartmon> phish: That's good. But try looking on the second tab in Sound Preferences an make sure ESD is checked.
[10:00] <osfameron> yeah, I just did sudo aptitude install pulseaudio   iirc
[10:01] <kelvin911> 130 KB/s dl and 0KB/s ul on one file
[10:01] <kelvin911> very nice
[10:01] <s_> hi how to install awn
[10:01] <kelvin911> i love it
[10:01] <phish> bartmon: It's checked.
[10:01] <sisseck> does anyone know how to get advanced options for screensavers in ubuntu?
[10:01] <powertoo108> kelvin911: i assume you're talking about p2p, which app are you using?
[10:01] <HyperStream> gurpreet : ok its getting a error setting the system clock, something about select() rtc time timed out ... then it gets stuck at: cating acpi-support files, then goes to '* Saving VESA STATE...'  thats where it stays, i have in boot options: 'noacpi acpi=off apm=on irqpoll'
[10:01] <DistroJockey> s_:   sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
[10:02] <DJones> !awn | s_
[10:02] <ubotu> s_: awn is <Reply> Avant Window Navigator, is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/  Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy
[10:02] <kelvin911> azureus
[10:02] <phish> a guy in #linux-gamers.net told me "# echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct"  > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" but he said it might not work for ubuntu.
[10:02] <phish> Would that work?
[10:02] <phish> I don't even know what it does :x
[10:03] <gurpreet> HyperStream, try setting acpi to on and apm to off, not sure but worth a try
[10:03] <bartmon> phish: That seems to be for OSS sound system, not the ALSA sound system
[10:03] <phish> oh
[10:03] <s_> i recieved this message Couldn't find package avant-window-navigator
[10:03] <DJones> s_: you need to enable gutsy backports in the repo's first
[10:03] <kelvin911> in windows i can even get more crazier dl/ul ratio with bitcomets
[10:04] <s_> how to do that pls
[10:04] <kelvin911> in bitcomet 0.61 i can sometimes get 300KB/s dl and 10KB/s ul
[10:04] <bartmon> phish: For this to work you'd have to change your mixer device to OSS.
[10:04] <bartmon> phish: Preferences>Sound>Devices>Default Mixer Tracks
[10:04] <phish> Ok.
[10:04] <bitraiser> kelvin911, then you should try FioS :)
[10:04] <phish> Should i restart?
[10:04] <kelvin911> whats Fios?
[10:05] <bartmon> phish: I have no idea. Maybe you can just restart a daemon
[10:05] <phish> How would i do that :3
[10:05] <s_> how to  to enable gutsy backports in the repo's first
[10:06] <bitraiser> kelvin911, my FioS allows me 1.7MB/s for both download and upload      15Mbps/ 15MBps fios
[10:06] <phish> bartmon: i'll just reboot later.
[10:06] <kelvin911> ??
[10:06] <kelvin911> is FioS ISP?
[10:06] <phish> Does anyone know of a plugin for xchat that mimics mIRC's perform?
[10:06] <bartmon> phish: I guess rebooting would be the most painless solution. After that you could ostensibly execute that command.
[10:06] <DistroJockey> s_: goto  System - Administration - Software Sources  then click on  Update tab  and add gutsy-backports
[10:06] <kelvin911> i have 10mbps connection
[10:06] <bartmon> phish: Not
[10:06] <kelvin911> i cant get to 1.7MB/s
[10:07] <bartmon> phish: Note that you need a sudo in front of it
[10:07] <amitprakash> how can i control the amount uptil my battery is charged in linux??
[10:07] <phish> yeah
[10:07] <kelvin911> i can get to 1.3KB/s when i am downloading rapidshare
[10:07] <kelvin911> 1.3MB/s
[10:07] <bartmon> kelvin911: 10Mbps is 1.25MB/s max
[10:08] <kelvin911> i dont know it shows it about 1300KB/s sometimes
[10:08] <DJones> s_: simplest way if you're running X, open synaptic and select Settings and then repositories, then tick the backports box, I'm not on ubuntu at the minute, so that could have slightly changed, but should be fairly self explanatory, once done, you need to click reload to update the sources
[10:08] <kelvin911> maybe rounding off?
[10:08] <bartmon> kelvin911: Most probably
[10:08] <kelvin911> anyway its quite fast
[10:08] <gurpreet> how can i know the name of the driver that my wireless card is using?
[10:09] <neil_d> I have downloaded a midi file and installed 'playmidi' but when I try to run playmidi it is saying "playmidi: No playback device found" what does this mean ?
[10:09] <luccons> I've a problem about download packages
[10:09] <kelvin911> its like 1GB movie in 15 minutes
[10:10] <luccons> I cannot download ubuntu packages with a connection that it works with a proxy
[10:10] <icesword> !sources
[10:10] <kelvin911> i am on 400KB/s dl 4.8KB/s ul now
[10:10] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[10:10] <_Rambaldi_> i need some help, things are disappearing of my bottom panel, the trash bin is not there, and windows i open does not dock too, i have to use alt tab to change windows
[10:11] <kelvin911> the ratio is crazy
[10:11] <kelvin911> whats causing this?
[10:13] <kelvin911> 612 KB/s dl 4.8 KB/s ul what a dream
[10:14] <void^_> a well seeded torrent, nothing unusual
[10:14] <bartmon> gurpreet: I don't know directly buy can try "lspci | grep Network controller" and then "dmesg | grep <name of your wifi card>".
[10:14] <kelvin911> 800KB/s dl and 8.5KB ul ??
[10:14] <kelvin911> why the ratio is so odd?
[10:14] <newton> hi
[10:15] <kelvin911> i thought u dont get good download when u dont upload
[10:15] <bitraiser> kelvin911, probably because you set your upload speed very low
[10:15] <void^_> unless there is much more supply than demand
[10:15] <kelvin911> i didnt set the uplaod speed
[10:15] <gurpreet> bartmon, i tried lsmod, a long list is returned and i don't know which one is wifi's driver, trying dmesg thingy
[10:15] <bartmon> kelvin911: Your ISP is probably throttling the default torrent ports (6881-6889) so it has to pay for less traffic.
[10:15] <newton> i found a problem that maybe regards to ubuntu(all distrubuions from ubuntu, edubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu)
[10:15] <kelvin911> i didnt change setting
[10:15] <newton> its with wine...
[10:15] <bitraiser> and the torrent you're downloading probably has a lot of seeders or some that have high speeds
[10:15] <WarBird> anyone wanna help me setting up grub?
[10:16] <bartmon> gurpreet: Yeah, lsmod is not very descriptive.
[10:17] <phish> bartmon: i was wondering. would i do this? sudo # echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct"  > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[10:17] <K-Ton> Hi, i'm trying to set splashy boot screen. I could configure it, and it works well, but the theme i set is only shown during quiting from ubuntu. During the boot a default like blue splashy shows itself. Where can i change it? :/
[10:18] <DistroJockey> gurpreet:  sudo lspci -v   is nice, doesn't show the driver used though
[10:18] <luccons> bartmon: thanks for the attention...I cannot download the ubuntu packages with a proxy connection
[10:18] <Tassoman> hello all :)
[10:18] <JPSman> how do I scp a few files over my ethernet to my laptop?
[10:18] <bartmon> phish: phish: You should try
[10:18] <bartmon> luccons: Hm, which tool are you using?
[10:18] <phish> bartmon: well the # is not needed ^_^. but it's saying permission denied when i use sudo. should i login as root and do this?
[10:19] <luccons> synaptic
[10:19] <luccons> bartmon:synaptic
[10:19] <gurpreet> DistroJockey, great, atleast now i know the keyword to search for using dmesg|grep
[10:19] <bartmon> phish: # means that you should execute the command as root
[10:19] <Tassoman> i've just installed ffox3b5 on hardy but i don't want it, firebug stops working. Wich rule I could use to pinning and fix to ffox3b3 (?)
[10:19] <DistroJockey> gurpreet: *nods* :)
[10:19] <phish> bartmon: oh :d
[10:19] <tim167> i installed ubuntu, but i have no graphics, what is the command to regenerate the xorg.conf ?
[10:19] <WarBird> no one? ok, so I have Vista on sda1, XP on sda2 and ubuntu related stuff on my other partitions.. what I need to know, is how i can figure out what hd (hd0,1 etc) the different partitions correspond to
[10:20] <K-Ton> Hi, i'm trying to set splashy boot screen. I could configure it, and it works well, but the theme i set is only shown during quiting from ubuntu. During the boot a default like blue splashy shows itself. Where can i change it? :/
[10:20] <bitraiser> scp file1 file2 file3 username@laptophostorIP:/path/to/whereever/
[10:20] <WarBird> if anyone could drop me a hint, i would really appreciate it
[10:20] <bartmon> phish: Usually sudo doesn't work well with redirection, so first try "su -" and then execute the command. Then "exit".
[10:20] <DistroJockey> tim167:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[10:20] <DarkED> okay, now i got my video settings correct, and now i am having an issue with compiz. when i try to run compiz it gives me 'xgl: not present' and when i ran it with SKIP CHECKS it ran but my entire screen went transparent except for the wallpaper
[10:20] <bartmon> luccons: Are there any errors?
[10:20] <bitraiser> JPSman, I do recommend rsync though, much better
[10:20] <luccons> bartmon: i think there is a problem with the proxy configurations
[10:21] <luccons> bartmon: yes there are some errore
[10:21] <luccons> errors
[10:21] <sachi> every time i suddenly resize the window my pc blocks any help
[10:21] <bartmon> luccons: if there is a lot of text, use the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:21] <tim167> DistroJockey ok thanks, i also have the problem that the terminal font is exremely large (very low res) so that i cant even see what I type because its outside the screen...
[10:21] <phish> bartmon: i did the commands but they didn't work when i opened Q3 while playing music :(
[10:21] <WarBird> K-Ton, did you google it?
[10:22] <phish> bartmon: Any ideas?
[10:22] <JPSman> bitraiser: rsync eh?  I'm so totally a newb to linux
[10:22] <K-Ton> yes, I did and i'm doing it right now
[10:22] <WarBird> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89916&highlight=grub+splash+screen
[10:22] <JPSman> bitraiser: I dont know if my two computers even see each other or how to know that they do
[10:22] <WarBird> is this what youre looking for?
[10:22] <DistroJockey> tim167: the virtual terminals? e.g.  alt+f1 , alt+f2  etc?
[10:22] <bartmon> phish: What happens? Does the music stop and Q3 sound start? Or does the music continue and Q3 remains silent?
[10:22] <sachi> is there any new version after 7.10

[10:25] <tim167> DistroJockey: ok
[10:25] <WarBird> i think that may be it

[10:27] <K-Ton> thanks WarBird, but this is another thing. This is the default splash package called USplash, but i'm trying to configure splashy

[10:27] <fedaykin> well i have a question too =P I wanna use Opera instead of Firefox, but cant load flash with it, coz Adobe Flash only supports Linux-Firefox. /cry

[10:27] <sachi> i have a lot of problems in linux
[10:27] <sdakak> Oli``: Can you think something from the top of your head.
[10:27] <fedaykin> if someone knows a solution i would appretiate it
[10:27] <luccons_> bartmon: Posted by luccons on April 16th 11:26
[10:28] <Oli``> sdakak: it really can be a huge number of things. tracing via bootchart is the fastest way to get a useful answer
[10:29] <WarBird> K-Ton, the link has another link at the bottom for customizing usplash.
[10:29] <WarBird> for splashy, i found this' http://blog.anantshri.info/2007/08/03/bootsplash-aka-splashy-on-debian/
[10:29] <JPSman> bitraiser: you can run c commands in the terminal?
[10:29] <sachi> i like linux but i dont like it when it doesnt working well
[10:29] <WarBird> i still need help with grub... anyone?
[10:29] <sdakak> Oli``: As I said "If I look at the boot messages I found out that it get stuck on all the NFS things, NFS kernel daemon, NFS common utilities and one more NFS message.". Can you point me to the right direction?

[10:32] <DistroJockey> sachi: if you have Desktop Effects on, you could try turning those off also
[10:32] <fedaykin> kisses =)
[10:32] <sdakak> One more thing. My desktop supports 1024x768 @ 60hz. It is a lcd. When the ubuntu splash screen shows up during boot. The one with the filling bar. The monitor displays a message saying that it only supports the above resolution. When ubuntu boots everything is normal. How do I change that initial splash screen so that monitor doesn't complain?
[10:32] <Oli``> sdakak: I can't - no. I would perhaps suggest delaying the mounts (taking them out of fstab and scripting them further down the line) but if they're system-essential, that doesn't help
[10:32] <bartmon> luccons_: says it is password protected

[10:36] <gurpreet> bartmon, should i paste whole output of dmesg in pastebin?

[10:38] <DistroJockey> gurpreet: but it will be one of those atleast :)
[10:39] <DistroJockey> gurpreet: why was it you are looking for the driver file?
[10:39] <gurpreet> DistroJockey, is the name of file the same as the name of the module it is for?
[10:40] <DistroJockey> gurpreet: hmm, not too sure, does make sense though
[10:40] <bartmon> luccons_:  Tell me if  ping -c4 proxy.stud.univpm.it works or if the pings time out
[10:40] <K-Ton> I installed splashy, it works well, but on the boot it shows the default theme. On shutdown it shows the theme i set. What's the problem?
[10:40] <gurpreet> DistroJockey, i wanted to capture and modify wifi packets, for this i have to put my wifi adapter in monitor mode. putting the monitor in monitor mode depends on the card and driver. i know the card now i am searching for the driver.
[10:41] <gurpreet> putting the card* in monitor mode
[10:41] <JPSman> bitraiser: How long will this take?
[10:41] <bartmon> gurpreet: Well it seems lsmod should be the quickest way to see which driver your system uses, pastebin it soon, i have to go.

[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Oprtz: as a backup
[10:49] <DistroJockey> HSNews:  sudo apt-get install sysvconfig

[10:49] <Oprtz> ok
[10:49] <gurpreet> bartmon, got the card name?
[10:49] <bartmon> gurpreet: I would say your system uses the wlan kernel module, which is sidekicked by various ath_XYZ modules like ath_pci, ath_hal
[10:49] <gurpreet> i mean driver name
[10:50] <gurpreet> bartmon, i didn't get you
[10:50] <DistroJockey> HSNews: use that to Disable the GDM service
[10:50] <JPSman> Kommwths: what were you able to do with it on the windows laptop?
[10:50] <gurpreet> bartmon, module should be a single name
[10:50] <gregory> elTigre: i would think ISO is not writable by design
[10:50] <Kommwths> JPSman anythink like transfers etc etc

[10:54] <ActionParsnip> midas06: I just told you, stop hitting paste and read the text
[10:54] <HSNews> what to do with checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!

[11:13] <ActionParsnip> bitraiser: oh you know its good :)
[11:13] <ikonia> bitraiser: you know this is an ubuntu support channel ?
[11:14] <sandraaaa> ah i cant
[11:14] <gurpreet> ActionParsnip, doesn't *nix refers to any _unix_ based OS?

[11:14] <a_l_e> hello. i installed 08.04 beta and i'm trying to connect to a bluetooth keyboard. the applet doesn't succeed and following the how-to i get to the point where i should launch the "hidd" tool... but there is no such programm installed :-(
[11:14] <ikonia> !hardy > a_l_e
[11:15] <ikonia> a_l_e: please see the message from ubotu
[11:15] <DistroJockey> ActionParsnip: what util did you use for the video capture?
[11:15] <gurpreet> ActionParsnip, i means system may not be GNU based,e.g bsd ones
[11:15] <n6rej> can anyone help me with inetd? and/or ctrlproxy?
[11:15] <ikonia> n6rej: what is the problem ?
[11:15] <a_l_e> ikonia: thanks for the notice!
[11:15] <ikonia> a_l_e: welcome
[11:16] <n6rej> ikonia: problem is I'm stupid tonight :(  I'm trying to get ctrlproxy to start when called... or at the very least start automatically, the dev said "ctrlproxy --inetd" and I dont' see that that does anything
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> gurpreet: they are indeed different
[11:16] <JPSman> wow it crashed AGAIN
[11:16]  * n6rej is really frustrated and annoyed tonight
[11:17] <msn> DistroJockey: thanks
[11:17] <ikonia> n6rej: thats not how inetd works
[11:17] <DistroJockey> msn: no problem
[11:17] <gurpreet> ActionParsnip, yes, but they fall under *nix
[11:17] <ikonia> n6rej: you need to configure inetd to launch ctrlproxy,
[11:17] <n6rej> ikonia: i didn't think so... I have ubuntu-server isntalled and it has openbsd-inetd
[11:17] <ikonia> n6rej: why have you put the openbsd inetd on it ?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> gurpreet: they can, some purists split them to *BSD too

[11:21] <neko> okey
[11:21] <neko> thanks

[11:23] <neko> actionparsnip : i had back in the day but my name isn't related to this, that's just near my real name
[11:23] <BobDobbs> actually that's confusing
[11:23] <JPSman2> Ok thats better
[11:23] <n6rej> ikonia: well I hear that xinetd is better... but Idk
[11:23] <ikonia> n6rej: it's personal opinion both have benifits and draw backs
[11:25] <n6rej> ikonia: theres a bunch of them on 7.1
[11:25] <ikonia> n6rej: you said you where using 6.06
[11:25] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: when I ifconfig eth0 on my laptop no ip is set for it
[11:25] <n6rej> ikonia: no not me.. 7.1 server
[11:26] <JPSman2> floodbot past help

[11:26] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: I do via wifi
[11:26] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: (im on it right now)
[11:27] <ikonia> n6rej what are the options (use a pastebin if you need to )
[11:27] <JPSman2> JPSman is my PC, JPSman2 is my laptop
[11:27] <n6rej> ikonia: ok.. one sec

[11:28] <ikonia> ooh and micro-inetd
[11:28] <ikonia> sorry 3
[11:29] <n6rej> ikonia: ok, which would you recommend?
[11:29] <ikonia> n6rej: inetd or xinetd
[11:29] <n6rej> ikonia: ok so that would be openbsd-inetd then
[11:29] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: how do I assign my eth0 an ip address?
[11:29] <ikonia> yes
[11:30] <ghaleb> Hello, I can't find LTSP-manager source code, could anyone help please ?
[11:30] <ikonia> ghaleb: as in the deb package that contains it ?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> JPSman2: you can edit /etc/network/interfaces or use the network management tool
[11:30] <gregory> ghaleb: you need vanilla or ubuntu package sourcecode?
[11:31] <ghaleb> the dep doesn't contain it
[11:31] <omrihelp11> hi
[11:31] <omrihelp11> can any one who knows about ubuntu help me in private
[11:31] <ghaleb> ubuntu package sourcode
[11:31] <omrihelp11> ..
[11:31] <sourcode> !!!
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> JPSman2: sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces
[11:32] <ghaleb> Greeny_,  http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/LTSPManager/bzr/
[11:32] <ikonia> omrihelp11: ask your question in the rood
[11:32] <ikonia> omrihelp11: room
[11:32] <n6rej> ikonia: ok, installed and tested with vsftpd and it works
[11:32] <ghaleb> sorry gregorah,
[11:32] <ikonia> n6rej excellent, well done, so you just need a new "config" to launch your app
[11:33] <ogra> ghaleb, its in the bzr branch mentioned on that page ... just use "bzr get"
[11:33] <omrihelp11> i have done something stupid: changed the view rights of all files to be only for root group... now ubuntu wont load.. give me an ash shell..
[11:33] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: what should it say?
[11:33] <ghaleb> orga, yeah... but it doesn't download source ode
[11:33] <ogra> ghaleb, oh, and thats a very old bzr format (it still shows you teh files) http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/LTSPManager/bzr/ltsp-manager
[11:33] <ikonia> omrihelp11 so you've changed all files to be owned by the group root ?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> JPSman2: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[11:34] <gregory> omrihelp11: boot with the live cd. then you are master again and can change the file permissions
[11:34] <JPSman2> ActionParsnip: thank you :OD
[11:34] <ogra> ghaleb, but dont expect ltsp-manager to do anything, its only a proof of concept thing (and didnt change since a year or more)
[11:34] <omrihelp11> i have changed the file system files permissions of the read permission to be for root only
[11:34] <ogra> ()i'* looking for someone to adopt it since i'm sort on time)
[11:35] <ghaleb> orga, thank you, I'm going to update it
[11:35] <ikonia> omrihelp11: so only root can read the file systems
[11:35] <ToroT> Help: Hi all! I just finished configuring Nagios on my machine. I'm having some trouble configuring the mail/mailx/....  Can anyone help me configuring my mail so I can set nagios to send email notifications?
[11:35] <ogra> ghaleb, great :)
[11:35] <ghaleb> orga, is there any svn or sth to trace ?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> JPSman2: also try www.google.com
[11:35] <ghaleb> thank you :)
[11:35] <omrihelp11> yes
[11:35] <JPSman_> dag nabit
[11:35] <ikonia> omrihelp11: ok, so you'll need to boot from a livecd, mount the file systems and change the permissions back
[11:36] <ikonia> ToroT: what sort of problem are you having
[11:36] <n6rej> ikonia: yes but I don't know what to put in inetd.conf
[11:36] <omrihelp11> ok.. im a bit new to linux.. im now on livecd
[11:36] <ghaleb> orga, regarding the link you have sent, is it all what we have ?

[11:37] <ogra> great
[11:37] <n6rej> ikonia: ok
[11:37] <ikonia> omrihelp11: ok, so mount your file system from the livecd, do you know how to do that
[11:37] <renzo17> have you tried it in VLC? sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:37] <omrihelp11> nope
[11:37] <renzo17> it has all the codecs built in
[11:37] <ikonia> omrihelp11 do you know what the device name for your root file system is ?
[11:37] <backgen> oooh thanks i will try VLC

[11:38] <OllieH> ok thanks
[11:38] <omrihelp11> well HD something
[11:38] <omrihelp11> need to look at the list to remember
[11:38] <ikonia> omrihelp11 nope
[11:38] <omrihelp11> lol:P
[11:38] <danbrownlow> Backgen, did you install win32 codecs?
[11:38] <ikonia> omrihelp11: should be /dev/sd$
[11:38] <omrihelp11> ok
[11:38] <omrihelp11> probobly 0
[11:38] <omrihelp11> sd0
[11:38] <ikonia> omrihelp11: thats not a valid drive
[11:38] <backgen> danbrownlow: i'm not sure...how do i install them?
[11:38] <ikonia> omrihelp11: sda ?
[11:38] <omrihelp11> yea
[11:39] <omrihelp11> :p
[11:39] <ikonia> omrihelp11: which partition, 1,2,3,4 ? how many partitions do you have
[11:39] <omrihelp11> 1
[11:39] <omrihelp11> one partition
[11:39] <danbrownlow> mplayerhq.hu
[11:39] <ikonia> omrihelp11: ok, so "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt"
[11:39] <danbrownlow> I think you can get them from there.
[11:39] <ikonia> ToroT: sorry, I missed your response
[11:39] <danbrownlow> If you don't know how, I'd definately try VLC lol. Awesome player =]
[11:39] <omrihelp11> ok
[11:40] <n6rej> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d15eb2915 is whats in it right now?
[11:40] <omrihelp11> done that
[11:40] <omrihelp11> it sais i dont have permissions to view the content
[11:41] <omrihelp11> opened with nautilus
[11:41] <backgen> wow even VLC can't seem to play the file...how do i install win32 codecs then?
[11:41] <ikonia> n6rej: so you need it to look like this http://pastebin.com/m4dbb1b79 (replace proxy_daemon with the name of your service/daemon)
[11:41] <ikonia> omrihelp11: so sudo chmod 777 /mnt
[11:42] <ikonia> omrihelp11: then you can view it (those permissions are very open but that can be tidied up later)
[11:42] <renzo17> backgen: weird, it should be able to handle all .avi files? where did you get the file and do other videos work on your setup?
[11:42] <backgen> i Torrented it
[11:42] <danbrownlow> Backgen, try installing MPlayer and see what happens =]
[11:42] <backgen> yeh other video files work just fine
[11:43] <danbrownlow> Yea', VLC normally plays anything you throw at it lol.
[11:43] <backgen> the exact file extension is this .hdtv-lol.[BT].avi
[11:43] <renzo17> backgen: danbrownlow: yeah try mplayer but you will need the w32codecs which can be installed easily via medibuntu
[11:43] <omrihelp11> k.. ill try
[11:43] <omrihelp11> ty for your help
[11:43] <renzo17> backgen: ok cool, i have hundreds of "those" files and they all work fine for me
[11:43] <omrihelp11> should it solve the problem?
[11:43] <backgen> kk so how do i install mplayer? just so apt-get install mplyaer?
[11:43] <omrihelp11> if i restart now and load hd?
[11:44] <ikonia> omrihelp11: this will allow you to read the root directory,
[11:44] <renzo17> backgen: yup, sudo apt-get install mplayer
[11:44] <danbrownlow> renzo17: Yea' I told him to get the win32 codecs. Was just trying to find where to find them lol.
[11:44] <ikonia> omrihelp11: you may need to go futher to tiday up more and then tighten the permissions
[11:44] <renzo17> danbrownlow: medibuntu
[11:44] <renzo17> ?
[11:44] <ikonia> omrihelp11: but without knowing what you did, I'm trying to balance not opening up your hard drive too much, but also allowing you to work on it
[11:44] <danbrownlow> renzo17: Cheeers =]
[11:44] <renzo17> backgen: danbrownlow , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[11:49] <danbrownlow> ratatosk: Sorry. I understand now, erm.. I haven't heard of one I'm afraid. Nice idea though =] I'll have a quick look for you =]
[11:49] <sdakak>  I used to get the index of my apache directory if I browsed to "localhost" now I don't get it. And my ubuntu boot log says mysql database start fail. What should I check?
[11:50] <ikonia> sdakak: mysql shouldn't stop you browsing the localhost
[11:50] <danbrownlow> sdakak: Have you changed your password or anything like that recently?
[11:50] <n6rej> ikonia: nope
[11:50] <ikonia> sdakak: 1.) check if apache is running 2.) manually start mysql and see why it fails
[11:50] <backgen> darnit it's still not working...i just installed mplayer and the medibuntu packages
[11:50] <ikonia> n6rej: what port does it run on
[11:50] <sdakak> ikonia: danbrownlow: No I haven't changed anything.
[11:50] <ikonia> sdakak: 1.) check if apache is running 2.) manually start mysql and see why it fails
[11:50] <sdakak> ikonia: mysql doesn't start manually it says FAIL
[11:50] <n6rej> ikonia: any I want, but I told it 6667
[11:50] <renzo17> backgen: do other vid files work?
[11:51] <sdakak> ikonia: if i try to start apache it says it is already running
[11:51] <ikonia> n6rej: put the line ctrlproxy 6667 in /etc/services
[11:51]  * n6rej just set his beard on fire!! OUCH!!
[11:51] <ikonia> sdakak: can you telnet localhost 80
[11:51] <n6rej> ikonia: ok
[11:51] <backgen> renzo17: yeah they do....actually i think it might just be this torrent that's messed up
[11:51] <kamen__> dj
[11:51] <sdakak> ikonia: I can browse the internet and all. But I can't ping to localhost.
[11:51] <ikonia> sdakak: ok, so paste /etc/hosts into a pastebin please.
[11:52] <danbrownlow> ratatosk: http://www.linux-drivers.org/ that might be a bit more help, not exactly what you wanted though.
[11:52] <sdakak> ikonia: nothing is running remotely everything is in a local machine. i will do that.
[11:52] <backgen> i'll try downloading a different torrent....thanks for all the help guys!!!
[11:52] <renzo17> backgen: in that case it's prolly the download.......did the torrent complete downloading correctly?
[11:52] <ratatosk> danbrownlow, one of the biggest linux community sites out there (linuxquestions.org) has its own 'hardware compatibility list'.. but unfortunately the mods there are very uptight about what ends up on that list
[11:52] <backgen> renzo17: it sure seemed to...
[11:53] <renzo17> backgen: whats the file size of the video in question?
[11:53] <backgen> about 300 megs
[11:53] <danbrownlow> backgen: A lot of torrents I've downloaded haven't played for reasons such as not having a video file or sound file with the download, they always seem to be dodgy lol
[11:53] <ToroT_> ikonia,  I got disconnected, any response ?
[11:53] <kelvin911> anyone knows how to switch app when running dosbox?
[11:53] <ToroT_> Can anyone refer me to a place where I can find a good guide to configuring mail ? I need to be able to use the 'mail'/'mailx' command from console.
[11:53] <ikonia> ToroT_: what does the mail log ?
[11:53] <ikonia> ToroT_: what does the mail log say
[11:53] <backgen> danbrownlow: lol i didn't know that!! where do you download from?
[11:54] <renzo17> backgen: danbrownlow , hdtv releases are usually spot on though, if a file doesnt work they always release a REPACK immediately
[11:54] <n6rej> ikonia: got it... had to use ircd at the first statement
[11:54] <ikonia> ToroT_: poastfix is running by default so you should be able to actually send mail
[11:54] <ikonia> n6rej: well done
[11:55] <n6rej> ikonia: tyvm! you know why exim4 is running as user 111?
[11:55] <ToroT_> ikonia, How do I specify the outgoing server ? user ? pass ?
[11:55] <renzo17> backgen: danbrownlow , i meant HDTV.LOL releases..... >_<
[11:55] <kelvin911> how to switch window when running dosbox?
[11:55] <ikonia> n6rej: because the user mapped to uid 111 has been deleted
[11:55] <sdaka1> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63401/ It might help to know that my ethernet was not working at my work lan whatever I did. I tried restarting the network and all. But when I plugged the lan wire those green lights wouldn't come up. So I had manually cleared everything in /etc/network/interfaces. But now I am browsing the net and everything is up.
[11:55] <ikonia> n6rej: useradd -u 111 -d blah blah exim and you'll see it running as exim
[11:55] <kelvin911> i have no choice but to press ctrl F9 to turn off dosbox
[11:55] <n6rej> ikonia: hmmmmmmmmm should never have been a user 111 as far as I know
[11:55] <danbrownlow> renzo: Fair enough, I'm not a big downloader so not always up-to-date =]
[11:55] <n6rej> kk
[11:56] <ikonia> ToroT_ you shouldn't have to it should submit to local host
[11:56] <renzo17> backgen: hdtv.lol files are usually 350mb
[11:56] <danbrownlow> Could anyone give me a hand with AWN-Extras?!
[11:56] <ikonia> ahhh thats why
[11:56] <ikonia> sdaka1: hang on
[11:56] <backgen> renzo17: yeh that's about it....maybe its the .[BT] that's throwing everything off...i don't usually get that in my file extensions...i'll try torrenting from another site
[11:57] <ToroT_> ikonia, I want to be able to configure Nagios conf files to send emails to my email box.
[11:57] <BezNalogov> Can somebody tell me if it's possible under ubuntu to have a printer (HP5 driver) that will only print to a file?  I am unable to add such printer in the tool, because it's not actually connected
[11:57] <mariusp> Hi all, Im running the latest ubuntu hardy and I keep getting some very strange behavior such as CTRL and ALT keys not functioning. I am unable to CTRL-C anything....Ive read that it could be a compiz or theme issue but nothing concrete. Anyone have any suggestions on where I could start troubleshooting?
[11:57] <ikonia> ToroT_: ok - so you have an email server up and running ?
[11:57] <ikonia> sdaka1: add the following lines to the top of interfaces file
[11:57] <ToroT_> I have an outside smtp server
[11:58] <ikonia> sdaka1: auto lo
[11:58] <ToroT_> ikonia, I have an outside smtp server
[11:58] <sdaka1> ikonia: Also my boot is taking a lot of time. I used to boot in 30 seconds. Now it takes more than 20 minutes to boot. And this is a c2d 2.0ghz 3gb ram machine. It takes a lot of time at nfs kernel daemon, nfs common utilities, and one more nfs boot option. Can all this be related?
[11:58] <HyperStream> !eth0
[11:58] <ikonia> sdaka1: iface lo inet loopback
[11:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eth0 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:58] <ikonia> ToroT_: ok,
[11:58] <sdaka1> ikonia: should I add both those?
[11:58] <ikonia> sdaka1: yes, both of those lines
[11:58] <HyperStream> !network
[11:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:58] <ikonia> ToroT_: if you want nagios configation for authorized relaying config I suggest you join #nagios
[11:58] <ikonia> ToroT_: I don't have a nagios box at hand to do a test setup
[11:59] <ToroT_> ikonia, I did, no one's there..
[11:59] <ikonia> ToroT_: just hang around, people will wake up
[11:59] <danbrownlow> #awn
[11:59] <Gatestone> Any idea why mouse motion settings have no effect on my Thinkpad z60m, and mouse is too slow
[11:59] <ToroT_> ikonia, If you just help me configuring mail/mailx/any othe command to send mail, I'll configure nagios to use it
[11:59] <ratatosk> mariusp, you don't have to use ctrl-c usually ... just mark something and paste wiht the middle-mouse button
[11:59] <ikonia> ToroT_: thats what I kept asking you !
[12:00] <poni> How would I go about to plug in a projector and clone the screen to it, in Ubuntu hardy?
[12:00] <ikonia> ToroT_: you should have a local mail server setup on your localhost
[12:00] <ikonia> ToroT_: that should be acting as your relay
[12:00] <sdaka1> ikonia: I restarted networking. internet is on. I can't ping localhost.
[12:00] <ikonia> sdaka1: you may have to reboot
[12:00] <ToroT_> ikonia, I installed postfix
[12:00] <ikonia> ToroT_: ok, so what happens when you send mail
[12:00] <sdaka1> ikonia: booting takes 15 minutes on this machine. Did you read that reply? Should we fix that first?
[12:01] <mariusp> ratatosk, Ive got plenty of workarounds but I need my CTRL and ALT keys functional for a variety of tasks. The question is why and where do I start looking for solutions?
[12:01] <ToroT_> ikonia, I don't know how to send mail from a command line.
[12:01] <kelvin911> anyone here knows how to get the mouse focus back to other window when running dosbox?
[12:01] <ikonia> sdaka1: this should stop it being so slow to boot
[12:01] <sdaka1> But it sticks at nfs options as I said. Should I go for a reboot now?
[12:01] <ikonia> ToroT_: mail $user@$domain.com -s "subject" <enter> then type your message then use a blank line with only a . on it to signal the end of the message
[12:01] <ikonia> sdaka1: yes
[12:02] <ratatosk> mariusp, if you're using compiz, i suppose it has a couple of reserved keyboard shortcuts that use ctrl/alt ... had a look in the compiz settings/options yet?
[12:04] <mariusp> ratatosk, yes I have. Nothing is reserved. The strange this is that right now everything works. Something at some point goes wrong and I loose CTL and ALT keys but there is also something else ... for example I am no longer able to launch certain applications such as ccsm, xchat.
[12:04] <ToroT_> ikonia, I tried, Nothing happens...
[12:04] <ikonia> ToroT_: what do you mean nothing happens
[12:04] <mariusp> ratatosk, the error that ccsm gives in that situation is: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly
[12:04] <ikonia> ToroT_: start being exact
[12:04] <ray__> what does the new ubuntu 8.04 have that the 7.10 does not...?
[12:05] <ikonia> ray__: nothing
[12:05] <ikonia> ray__: it's an improvment
[12:05] <ikonia> ray__: read the docs
[12:05] <ray__> where do i find those
[12:05] <ray__> ?
[12:05] <ikonia> http://www.ubuntu.com
[12:05] <sdakak> ikonia: You my friend are really really good. This worked! And you have helped me so many times in the past with the utmost professionalism. When I can afford it I would like to pay you for support :)
[12:05] <orderfeuer> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta
[12:05] <ToroT_> ikonia, I entered address, subject, content, CC. Got no errors but the email did not arrive at my inbox
[12:06] <sdakak> ikonia: could you explain to me what adding those lines did?
[12:06] <ikonia> sdakak ha ha, your more than welcome
[12:06] <ToroT_> ikonia, The server requires authentication.
[12:06] <ikonia> ToroT_: ok, now check the mail log
[12:06] <ikonia> ToroT_: did you set postfix up to need authentication
[12:06] <BezNalogov> Can somebody tell me if it's possible under ubuntu to have a printer (HP5 driver) that will only print to a file?  I am unable to add such printer in the tool, because it's not actually connected
[12:06] <millertime_018> hey, i'm trying to install windows... if anyone can help. all i have right now is vista
[12:06] <ikonia> sdakak: adding those lines "enable" or "bring up" the interface lo which is "loclahost"
[12:06] <ToroT_> ikonia, /var/mail/ ?
[12:06] <ikonia> ToroT_ what about /var/mail /
[12:06] <ray__> they say that it will make it better by not haveing to use the terminal so offten is thet true...?
[12:07] <ikonia> ToroT_: I asked if you setup postfix to need authentication
[12:07] <millertime_018> and the installation part is telling me that it cant find any partitions/disks that meet the criteria
[12:07] <ratatosk> mariusp, i have to say that i gave up on compiz a year ago or so because of flaky behaviour like that (i happen to use my computer for working and not to watch it crash/freeze)
[12:07] <millertime_018> i've just found out that the disk has to be made active before vista can install
[12:07] <millertime_018> is there any thing i can get to make it active?
[12:07] <sdakak> ikonia: and at my work lan; the green light in my lan card was not coming up, so i tried connecting with different lan cables and restarting networking and restarting ubuntu. But lan wouldn't work whatever I did. Then my eth0 started showing that sociaflaggs error. And I was so scared? This happens quite often at my work lan. What should I do?
[12:08] <ratatosk> mariusp, but if you "google for portions of the error message like this" you should find a fix for that problem
[12:08] <ikonia> sdakak: thats a tough situation without knowing your situation at work and the setup
[12:08] <ikonia> sdakak: speak to your work network admin
[12:08] <mariusp> ratatosk, I suppose I have to agree with you but this is probably one of the few times that I actually have such problems. I actually find a lot of the effects/plugins/etc quite helpful in certain situations :)
[12:09] <gregory> BezNalogov: yes
[12:09] <BezNalogov> How can I do that?
[12:10] <sdakak> ikonia: I will talk about the work setup to you too. If something strikes you. You are better then him. At work I connect a lan wire to my laptop and the internet is on. Now nothing happens when I use the same wire. But if i shift to different floor and change lan wires a couple of times. I get that socioflaggs error and the green lights in my ethernet also stop. Then there is no way to get internet back up unless I go to my home, connect to internet with 
[12:10] <ikonia> sdakak: I'll have a think about it
[12:10] <ToroT_> ikonia, When I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix' I do not have the option to choose authentication.         I checked the log. Remote-MTA is incorrect, where do I change it.
[12:10] <ratatosk> mariusp, well, the inverse colouring  and real transparency are fairly useful.. as well as the expose-like application, but i couldn't stand the crashing
[12:10] <ikonia> ToroT_: what remote mta ? where are you configuring a remote mta ???
[12:11] <poni> If possible, could someone help me with a little thing? :) I'm trying to plug in a projector (ubuntu hardy) on a Dell latitude D820, though, it wont clone desktop. I've tried xrandr --output VGA-0 etc, and the built in Detect Displays and so on... What can I do?
[12:11] <Sharpie> is there a way to copy my panel layout to another desktop? (the gnome-panel location, layout and items)
[12:11] <ratatosk> mariusp, but since compiz will be default in the next ubuntu release in a week or so, i suppose bugs like the one you're dealing with will be fixed
[12:11] <ikonia> !hardy > poni
[12:11] <ikonia> poni: check the message from ubotu
[12:11] <gregory> BezNalogov: will you print it out later on the hp or do you just want to print into a file?
[12:12] <ToroT_> ikonia, I get the following lines in /var/mail/$user 'Action: failed
[12:12] <ToroT_> Status: 5.0.0
[12:12] <ToroT_> Remote-MTA: dns; smtp.secureserver.net'
[12:12] <poni> oh sorry ikonia
[12:12] <BezNalogov> I have to print it into a file, and email that. The person I have to email it to needs in in pcl format
[12:12] <sdakak> ikonia: and if i am going to install ubuntu-desktop on 12 computers at my lab. Should i wait for hardy? Or can i install gutsy and the upgrade will go ok?
[12:12] <ikonia> ToroT_: why are you using smtp.secureserver.net ?
[12:13] <ToroT_> ikonia, smtpout.secureserver.net is my smtpserver
[12:13] <BezNalogov> But I am unable to add a HP5 printer in the print config, because I don't really have one connected
[12:13] <ratatosk> mariusp, btw, the clipboard function is generally a mess in linux DEs/WMs, which is why some people have to install glipper/klipper to copy/paste from anywhere
[12:13] <ikonia> sdakak: I'd wait for hardy personally, it's only a few days away, use those few days to play with the beta and get your configs ready
[12:13] <ikonia> ToroT_: where have you configured that, in postfix or nagios ?
[12:13] <sdakak> ikonia: right. that's it I guess?
[12:13] <ikonia> sdakak: I guess so
[12:14] <ToroT_> ikonia, postfix
[12:14] <ikonia> sdakak: that's what I'd do
[12:14] <gregory> BezNalogov: you can tell setup to use hp5 after automatic printer search has failed
[12:14] <ikonia> ToroT_: ok, so it looks like the message is a dns complaint that it can't look up the dns name for your remote smtp server
[12:14] <sdakak> ikonia: Thank you once again :)
[12:14] <ikonia> sdakak: welcome
[12:15] <BezNalogov> But I can't even select that it's a local printer
[12:15] <BezNalogov> I only get options to connect to a network printer
[12:15] <gregory> BezNalogov: are we both in "system - adminsitration -printer"?
[12:16] <BezNalogov> Yes
[12:17] <ToroT_> ikonia, can I use my station to send the emails not using my internet smtp.secureserver.net ?
[12:17] <ikonia> ToroT_: depends, are you on a dhcp/dsl/cable line ?
[12:17] <gregory> BezNalogov: ok, automatic printer recognition fails here. i have non. then i choose LPT#1 and later says its hp5. this will install hp5 printer driver.
[12:18] <BezNalogov> Then I click on new printer, then I have the options: Print to pdf - Windows printer via samba - Appsocket - IPP - LPD/LPR - Other
[12:18] <alexmart> Hi, I need software for creating websites. I used dreamweaver on windows. Any recommendations ? Thanks
[12:18] <gregory> BezNalogov: ok, automatic printer recognition fails here. i have non. then i choose LPT#1 and later say i would have a hp5. this will install hp5 printer driver.
[12:18] <ikonia> alexmart: scream
[12:18] <BezNalogov> Should I select other and then type LPT#1?
[12:19] <JonathanEllis> Hello all. I hope someone can help me. I hibernated my desktop PC (running Gutsy Gibbon) and now I have a non-responsive black screen. When I press the power button, the hard disk spins but the computer doesnt wake up. How can I get the PC to reboot without pulling the power cord. Last time I had a power failure I got a load of disk corruption. I would rather avoid that! I have looked at my routers DHCP table and my desktop machine has not been gi
[12:19] <JonathanEllis> ven an IP address
[12:19] <gregory> BezNalogov: i dont have the exact system as you. first search for LPT #1 in the devices list
[12:20] <ToroT_> ikonia, I have Fiber 10X10 SDH line
[12:20] <ikonia> ToroT_: sdh ?
[12:20] <ikonia> ToroT_: (excuse my ignorance)
[12:21] <ToroT_> ikonia, Fiber 10x10 synchronized line
[12:21] <ikonia> ahhh
[12:21] <ikonia> ToroT_: so it's a serious setup
[12:21] <ikonia> ToroT_: in that case, sure use your own server as a relay
[12:22] <ToroT_> ikonia, by saying your own you mean smtpout.secureserver.net ?
[12:22] <tim167> while installing ubuntu (alternate, ubuntustudio install CD) the screen gets scrambled, but the installation looks like it continues...how can i fix this ?
[12:22] <ikonia> ToroT_: I mean your localhost
[12:22] <omrihelp11> hi.. is the one helped me still here?
[12:22] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  Give Ctrl-Alt-Backspace a try.  It should restart X and give you a fresh login.
[12:23] <renzo17> JonathanEllis: did you try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (x2 sometimes) to restart the X server when the screen goes black?
[12:23] <JonathanEllis> swuboo: I already tried that - no dice. Also ctrl alt f1 doesnt work
[12:23] <omrihelp11> any one can help?
[12:23] <alexmart> ikonia : I really can't find the scream website through google :p happen to know it ?
[12:23] <omrihelp11> my gdm doesnt load
[12:23] <omrihelp11> it sais it doesnt have rw file permissions
[12:23] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  Hmm.  Next thing:  Alt-Printscreen-K, which should drop you down to just a console.
[12:24] <renzo17> omrihelp11: what do you get instead of gdm?
[12:24] <sabniel> hi, i cannot get 3d acceleration for my ati radeon 9550 to work. after installing ubuntu recommended some proprietare driver. (fglrx)
[12:24] <ToroT__> ikonia, ?
[12:24] <omrihelp11> i get the ubuntu loging screen
[12:24] <ikonia> ToroT__: sorry, I missed your last response
[12:24] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  After which, you'd have to type gdm, assuming you're using gnome, to bring gnome's login screen up.
[12:24] <omrihelp11> but after i login it sais gdm failed to login
[12:24] <renzo17> omrihelp11: that is gdm
[12:24] <ToroT_> ?
[12:24] <ToroT__> ikonia, by saying your own you mean smtpout.secureserver.net ?
[12:24] <sabniel> in xorg.conf "fglrx" is listed under the device, but "fglrxinfo" shows up mesa as open gl driver
[12:24] <ikonia> ToroT__: no, - I mean your localhost
[12:24] <omrihelp11> can we chat in private?
[12:24] <renzo17> omrihelp11: yeah sure
[12:25] <JonathanEllis> swuboo: No joy. My monitor just stays in power save mode so I guess the computer isnt even running the graphics - or at least its not even sending syncs to the monitor
[12:25] <ToroT__> ikonia, Ok, how do I do it ?
[12:25] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  It definitely isn't if that didn't work.
[12:25] <ikonia> ToroT__: well remove the remote relay from your postfix file
[12:25] <JonathanEllis> swuboo: So I have to pull the power cord?
[12:25] <omrihelp11> do you see the chat?
[12:25] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  Not quite yet.
[12:25] <ikonia> ToroT__: then start sending mail, it's that simple
[12:25] <ikonia> omrihelp11: yes

[12:26] <gopodge> Hi, I am running Hardy. When I visit playstation.com.au the website does not render correctly. Is it my setup or the web site?
[12:27] <renzo17> gopodge: probably a firefox issue
[12:27] <ikonia> gopodge: 1.) hardy support is in #ubuntu+1 2.) what browser 3.) what plugins does the website required
[12:27] <ikonia> gopodge: see you in #ubuntu+1
[12:27] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  Try Alt-Printscreen-R, then Alt-Printscreen-I, then Alt-Printscreen-S, Alt-Printscreen-U, then Alt-Printscreen-B.
[12:27] <omrihelp11> got it?
[12:27] <swuboo> The second one is i, not L, in case of ambiguity.

[12:28] <omrihelp11> (11:27:02 AM) omrihelp11: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[12:28] <omrihelp11> (11:27:19 AM) omrihelp11: sudo chmod -R 755  /mnt/
[12:28] <omrihelp11> (11:27:27 AM) omrihelp11: now i start again

[12:28] <gopodge> renzo17 : I have tried Firefox on Windows and it seems to work okay. What kind of tools could I use to figure out what the problem is?
[12:28] <JonathanEllis> swuboo: Ah. Now the machine has rebooted. Thanks

[12:29] <omrihelp11> no*
[12:29] <renzo17> gopodge: it is most likely a plugin issue
[12:29] <ikonia> ToroT__: on screen, what happens on screen when you do that
[12:29] <swuboo> JonathanEllis:  If you want to know what I just had you do, google 'Magic SysRq Key'.
[12:29] <omrihelp11> do i need to change rights to my home?
[12:29] <asdrubal> Does anyone know of a way to see which data= mode my ext3 partitions are mounted with ?
[12:29] <gopodge> renzo17 : I will send a feedback email to Sony. Maybe they will find the time to help me.
[12:30] <ikonia> omrihelp11: when you changed the permissions before did you do it recursivly (subdirectories too)
[12:30] <omrihelp11> yes
[12:30] <asdrubal> nevermind /proc/mounts has it
[12:30] <ikonia> omrihelp11: from the livecd, mount your disk again and do "sudo chmod -R 775 /"
[12:30] <ToroT__> ikonia, no errors. get's back to the command line
[12:30] <omrihelp11> i have done that..

[12:31] <ikonia> ToroT__: "mailq"
[12:31] <renzo17> gopodge: looks like that site uses a VERY heavy amount of flash.......do you have the flashplugin-nonfree package installed
[12:31] <ikonia> omrihelp11: thats right
[12:31] <blinkiz> Am looking for a program that can record simple macros I type with my keyboard. Like "DOWN-LEFT-ENTER". Any suggestions?
[12:31] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, I'm trying to share a folder over the network, but when i try to share i get "You do not have permission to create a usershare". any ideas?
[12:31] <omrihelp11> so now its better..
[12:31] <omrihelp11> it gets to the gdm screen
[12:31] <gopodge> renzo17 : Yeah. Are you looking at it on Ubuntu?
[12:31] <omrihelp11> but then it sends me an error..
[12:31] <omrihelp11> after i try to login
[12:31] <adante> hi, can someone share a ntp.conf with me that works? i have one which looks fine but even though ntp is running my time still drifts
[12:31] <renzo17> gopodge: not at the mo, but i will, hold on.............
[12:32] <omrihelp11> that it cant login.. it must have readwrite rights to something.. i think my home folder.. is it possible?
[12:32] <ToroT__> ikonia, mail queue is empty
[12:32] <omrihelp11> oh
[12:32] <omrihelp11> sorry
[12:32] <omrihelp11> i did chmod 755
[12:32] <omrihelp11> need 775?
[12:32] <omrihelp11> ill try that..:p
[12:32] <ikonia> ToroT__: thats a good start
[12:33] <ikonia> omrihelp11: 775 woudl be better
[12:33] <omrihelp11> what do i need to tide up after it works hopefuly?
[12:33] <ikonia> omrihelp11: you could do with tightening the permissions up once its working
[12:33] <bouma> hello everyone, my partition table is in a strange state, i have a unused gap in the middle, and sda1,2 are at the start and sda3 is at the end. if i use fdisk to make sda4 with the unused space it says they are out of order
[12:34] <bouma> cant i just reorder them
[12:34] <ikonia> ToroT__: look in the mail log to see what postfix did with the mail
[12:34] <bouma> +- editing grub.conf
[12:34] <omrihelp11> what permessions should i give to diffrent directories?
[12:34] <ikonia> omrihelp11: just do 775 to get them working first of all
[12:34] <omrihelp11> ok
[12:34] <ikonia> omrihelp11: chmod -R 775 /mnt (once youru disk is mounted)
[12:34] <ikonia> then tidy up afterwards
[12:34] <ToroT__> ikonia, I can't find the correct log file..
[12:34] <Zerloch> pen is stuck
[12:34] <omrihelp11> yes
[12:34] <bouma> because i only need to make sda3 into sda4 and its not a bootable partition it shouldnt cause any problems. but how
[12:35] <Zerloch> my pen is huge
[12:35] <ikonia> ToroT__: /var/log/mail.log normally
[12:35] <renzo17> gopodge: seems to render ok for me on gutsy with firefox 2 and flash plugins installed
[12:36] <omrihelp11> well
[12:36] <ToroT__> ikonia, that's where I looked. nothing's in there. only nagios log & an empty $username$ file.. ( I deleted the content before trying to send the email and now it's empty)
[12:36] <omrihelp11> ill restart and and boot from hd and how for best
[12:36] <gopodge> renzo17 : Thanks for the feedback. I will double check my setup.

[12:48] <Orbixx_> Question: When will Ubuntu support ext4?
[12:48] <omrihelp11> i type in my login and pass
[12:48] <omrihelp11> now i get this:
[12:49] <Orbixx_> NoTownKasper: Browse for the image.
[12:49] <lopez> what
[12:49] <Orbixx_> And maybe restart X.
[12:49] <lopez> www.zelopez.cn/blog
[12:49] <lopez> my blog
[12:49] <ikonia> lopez: why do we need to see that ?
[12:49] <omrihelp11> GDM could not write to your autherization file. this could meen that you are out of disk space or that your home could not be open for writing. in any case it is not possible to log ing
[12:49] <NoTownKasper> And how am I supposed to browse for the image if there's no browse button?
[12:50] <lopez> oh,just for thanks
[12:50] <ikonia> omrihelp11: mount the disk again and do chmod -R 777 /home/$your_usename
[12:50] <lopez> please
[12:50] <ikonia> lopez: no
[12:50] <omrihelp11> when i press ctrl+alt+f2
[12:50] <omrihelp11> and login
[12:50] <lopez> ok
[12:50] <ikonia> lopez: this is an #ubuntu support channel only
[12:50] <lopez> no
[12:50] <DJones> !ot | lopez
[12:50] <ubotu> lopez: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:50] <lopez> ok
[12:50] <omrihelp11> and try to do a sudo
[12:50] <LogiTech> Could anyone tell me how it called..program like "limewire" for ubuntu?
[12:50] <gregory> Orbixx_: when ext4 is stable. right now its still marked as in development
[12:50] <omrihelp11> it sais sudo must have setuid root
[12:50] <lopez> I know
[12:50] <Orbixx_> I see.
[12:50] <omrihelp11> any help?
[12:50] <ikonia> omrihelp11: ughhhhh your machine is messed up pretty bad
[12:50] <omrihelp11> lol
[12:50] <ikonia> omrihelp11: we can continue walking this through but it would be quicker and easier for you to backup the file syou wnat and re-install
[12:51] <Jake2point0> i would like too to know what program is like limewire or bearshare for ubuntu
[12:51] <omrihelp11> do you have any clue about the sudo setuid thing?

[12:51] <ikonia> omrihelp11: yes, I understand it perfectly, but my advice still stands
[12:51] <christophe> #ubuntu_fr
[12:52] <omrihelp11> my only usb device is 200mb.. wouldnt hold all the data i need..
[12:52] <ikonia> omrihelp11: burn a cd ? dvd ?
[12:52] <NoTownKasper> So if my cubecap is test.png in the Pictures folder, what would the string be? /home/kasper/Pictures/test.png ?
[12:52] <omrihelp11> i have only one cd drive i use for livecd
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> Jake2point0: look at frostwire.. http://www.frostwire.com
[12:53] <ikonia> omrihelp11: once the livecd is running you maybe able to take it out quickly to burn, if you have enough ram
[12:53] <ToroT_> ikonia, No emails in my inbox yet... I do not understand..
[12:53] <omrihelp11> i might be able to sudo chmod777 and then burn
[12:53] <ikonia> ToroT_: thats odd
[12:53] <ikonia> omrihelp11: you don't need to chmod
[12:53] <ToroT_> ikonia, my nagios machine acts as a mailserver now ?
[12:53] <omrihelp11> no i meen.. so that gdm would load form hd..
[12:53] <omrihelp11> from*
[12:53] <rootman> #br-ubuntu
[12:54] <omrihelp11> and then no need for cd
[12:54] <ikonia> ToroT_: one moment, I'll take it to a pm with you as I'm sure you don't want to spit out your mail server details
[12:54] <ikonia> omrihelp11: no problem, good idea
[12:54] <ToroT_> ikonia, I tried two different mailboxes and niether worked
[12:54] <omrihelp11> ok.. ill try that
[12:54] <omrihelp11> so sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt right?
[12:54] <LogiTech> no no...once some guy told me in XCHAT @Ubuntu Servers name of that music downloading program but i dont remember that program name anymore...it was like "limewire" for windows but it called like " Xwire" or something like that...its like windows limewire for linux ubuntu
[12:54] <ikonia> omrihelp11: that should get you booted
[12:54] <crazytalk> i am following a guide which has asked me to install msttcorefonts and ttf-xfree86-nonfree and in add/remove applications i found the former fine but the latter eludes me. can i just sude apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree and if i can why is the package available this way but not through the gui?
[12:54] <Jake2point0> do you know what PPTP means?
[12:54] <crazytalk> *sudo
[12:55] <Cheesypieces> hi guys i'm looking to set a share up that my windows box can access without having to put in a username/password - anyone have any ideas?
[12:55] <ikonia> LogiTech: music download on limewire = illegal, don't do it
[12:55] <void^_> LogiTech: frostwire perhaps.
[12:55] <NoTownKasper> Anyone here know why my cubecaps aren't working?
[12:55] <ikonia> Cheesypieces: use the anonymous user "nobody"
[12:55] <erUSUL> crazytalk: for specific packages not whole apps maybe Synaptic is a best gui than Apps/removeAdd
[12:55] <erUSUL> !synaptic | crazytalk
[12:55] <ubotu> crazytalk: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[12:55] <DJones> Jake2point0: Point to Point Tunnelling Proctol
[12:55] <NoTownKasper> Music download on limewire = only illegal in some countries. :D
[12:55] <omrihelp11> could i just burn my home folders as data.. and install ubuntu with exactly the same users.. would it be the same? (after i get all the packages back again)
[12:56] <Jake2point0> well i named my one cat PPTP and the other cat Floppy.  lol
[12:56] <ikonia> omrihelp11: would be close to the same
[12:56] <omrihelp11> k
[12:56] <Cheesypieces> ikonia: how do you mean? use 'nobody' as the username when windows tries to access it?
[12:56] <pucko-> suxxor, you have to import the local database first. and you can change if/how mysql is run with update-rc.d
[12:56] <ikonia> Cheesypieces: no, set the share to be anonymos or using the "guest" account which is normally nobody
[12:56] <sdakak> ikonia: I have got ejaberd runnig as a jabber server on my local machine. Would a free web host allow me to run one too? I know its off topic. Give an answer if possible.
[12:56] <crazytalk> erUSUL: i found ttf-xfree86-nonfree in synapics but there are 3, should i install them all?
[12:57] <Jake2point0> there is a linux program like methlabs.org's peerguardian.
[12:57] <omrihelp11> well.. it did teach me something about /dev and permissions:P
[12:57] <omrihelp11> somethings
[12:57] <NoTownKasper> Trying to set my compiz cubecap, in the 'cube' menu, under the 'cubecap' sub menu, I click add, it opens a window asking me for a string, with no browse button. Help.
[12:57] <ikonia> sdakak: jump in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want offtopic chatter, and speak to the web host to see if they allow it, I don't know what rules the companies ou wan to use have
[12:57] <omrihelp11> ill try do what you said.. ty
[12:58] <crazytalk> erUSUL: i think they're jsut different fonts so ofc i should install them all :) ty for teh help
[12:58] <sdakak> I have got x3100 intel graphic card on my laptop. What driver do i need? I can't enable compiz.
[12:58] <Dr_willis> Jake2point0,  and what does peerguardian do exactly?
[12:58] <erUSUL> crazytalk: i can only find one (through command line in gutsy) there is a different ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac
[12:58] <ikonia> sdakak: intel
[12:59] <datakid> hey, is the cd that's available for download on the unbuntu site a live cd?
[12:59] <Jake2point0> Dr_willis it blocks the RIAA and other spys from recieving packets you upload.
[12:59] <tim167> i installed ubuntu but i get a black screen (not terminal but blank black) i hear the login sound though...how do i fix this ?
[12:59] <LogiTech> ikonia what are you talking about...miljon and miljon of people are using limewire for windows
[12:59] <AndrewB> datakid: the desktop version is yes

[13:00] <ggrunt> Hi all I have just tried installing imagemagik to work with gallery2 image magik "SEEMS" to have complied and installed fine, yet when I point gallery2 to the binaries in /usr/local/bin I get errors executing the binary. Any ideas?
[13:01] <overrider> hello, small riddle:  amarok is for kde music management like xxxxxxxxx is for gnome music management... thanks

[13:01] <sdakak> I driver called "intel - experimental modsetting..." appears in Screens and Graphics. But I can't get compiz to work. Ideas?
[13:01] <tim167> pucko-: yes, the splash screen is shown, then when X starts it turns black
[13:01] <ggrunt> AndrewB because im really bad at this linux stuff, and still how will that fix the binaries?
[13:01] <ikonia> sdakak: what sort of problems are you having with it
[13:01] <Creationist> I have no relevent options in the context menu for DVDs anymore.  Only "Open" and "Browse Folder," both of which do the same thing.  Why do I no longer have the option to "Play" it?
[13:01] <overrider> AndrewB, ok. is Banshee what people like to use mostly for managing mp3 and music ? maybe even podcases...
[13:01] <Jake2point0> ikonia fair enough
[13:02] <Dr_willis> Jake2point0,  the ktorrent client has a peerguardian plugin. Other torrent clients may also.
[13:02] <NoTownKasper> Why do I always end up coming in here with questions no one can/will answer. :D
[13:02] <overrider> casts i meant
[13:02] <AndrewB> overrider: it is a popular one yes
[13:02] <ggrunt> AndrewB it also appears I cant apt-get install it as it cant find the package?
[13:02] <overrider> AndrewB, thanks
[13:02] <tim167> pucko-: i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg...but nothing changed

[13:03] <Dr_willis> Jake2point0,  if you want to be truely paranoid. You could use 'tor'
[13:03] <ikonia> sdakak: from memory the intel module is blacklisted by default for compiz.......let me just check on this
[13:03] <ikonia> HSNews: your clock is scewed
[13:03] <AndrewB> ggrunt: it is here. Compiling is a lot harder than using apt-get or a GUI like synaptec
[13:03] <Pici> ggrunt: imagemagick is definitely in the repositories, are you sure you are spelling it correctly?
[13:03] <HSNews> how to fix it?

[13:04] <Smorg> Cheesypieces: you can try, if not i'd guess you have to restart the service
[13:05] <pucko-> tim167, if it is a monitor problem you can probably edit your xorg.conf file a little. check that your vert/horiz sync rates match your monitor (or add them) or switch to a lower resolution. if you dig a little in your Xorg.0.log file you can see if you monitor supports automatic configuration or not, and what resolution it is trying to use.
[13:05] <Cheesypieces> Smorg: how do i do that?
[13:05] <pjv> what's a good pvr program to use?
[13:05] <DistroJockey> HSNews: does the directory name where you are running ./configure from have a space in it?
[13:05] <Jake2point0> linux in general has saved me thousands of dollars.  my web host is linux and for only 5 bucks a month i got my community based php website using e107 cms
[13:05] <arvind_khadri> pjv, whts pvr?
[13:05] <ikonia> sdakak: yes, the card is blacklisted
[13:05] <sdakak> ikonia: thank you.
[13:05] <samu> is there any GUI for octave?
[13:06] <Jake2point0> i train people how to edit their own website using Joomla!
[13:06] <ToroT_> ikonia, you there ?
[13:06] <Smorg> Cheesypieces: no idea for ubuntu... probably /etc/init.d/samba restart
[13:06] <ikonia> ToroT_: yes sure
[13:06] <sdakak> ikonia: I thought intel was playing nice with open source so i got a x3100 over a nvidia solution. And now I can't get compiz to work?
[13:06] <Smorg> or wherever your initscripts go
[13:06] <arvind_khadri> samu, whts octave
[13:06] <ikonia> sdakak: they are getting there,
[13:06] <HSNews> o shit
[13:06] <Smorg> what init system does ubutnu use?
[13:06] <HSNews> date really is wrong
[13:06] <lopez> ubuntu
[13:06] <ikonia> HSNews: careful on the language
[13:06] <sdakak> ikonia: doesn't intel release its drivers?
[13:06] <HSNews> 2001 year
[13:06] <ToroT_> ikonia, pm ?

[13:06] <ubotu> Smorg: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[13:06] <AndrewB> tim167: in that terminal enter the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:06] <DistroJockey> HSNews: hehe
[13:06] <ikonia> sdakak: yes, they are in xorg, but....it's a long story
[13:07] <ikonia> ToroT_: sure, I tried to send you one
[13:07] <sdakak> ikonia: ok.
[13:07] <samu> octave is a language for numerical computations
[13:07] <NoTownKasper> Well, obviously no one here can help...so is there a compiz chat on this server or another one where I can actually get some help?
[13:07] <Smorg> aah thats what I was wondering... I noticed its much faster than my sysvinit
[13:07] <AndrewB> ToroT_: to send/receive private messages you will need to register with nickserv first

[13:07] <Jake2point0> i use compiz.  but i like the default pictures.  never tried to change the caps so i dont know.

[13:08] <Jake2point0> look join the compiz-fusion room herre on freenode
[13:08] <samu> but actually there's only a command line version of it... there are some guis like Yaog, but cannot install it... it tells me it cannot find the octave-config file even if i changed the path in the configure file
[13:08] <samu> :(
[13:09] <AndrewB> tim167: take a look over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[13:12] <Jake2point0> NoTownKasper ill try and change my cubecaps .. right now im in windows though so ill be back after i boot into ubuntu
[13:12] <AndrewB> tim167: I think it is to do with people not opening the source on their drivers
[13:12] <HasanNoori> give me wich package might be install to create a localhost(lamp)
[13:12] <ToroT_> ikonia, I registered.. please send again
[13:13] <Jake2point0> NoTownKasper you said that there is no browse button for the picture to place in cube cap?
[13:13] <ikonia> ToroT_: sent
[13:13] <NoTownKasper> Nope. No browse button at all.
[13:13] <NoTownKasper> Jake2point0: nope, no button at all.
[13:13] <Jake2point0> NoTownKasper, they have a place to put in the path though right?
[13:14] <NoTownKasper> If that's what (string) means, yes.
[13:14] <ratatosk> anyone know how i can make my external usb drive (wd elements 500gb) accessible for all users?
[13:14] <Jake2point0> NoTownKasper, ok ill mess around with it and see if it takes a path.
[13:14] <Lainy> Hello, my MPD display on conky displays a Japanese song title as boxes. I have the following relevant lines in my config: 'override_utf8_locale yes' and 'xftfont Terminus:size=8', the same font I use in my console (which is able to view the Japanese song title perfectly). What do I need to do to view the song title correctly? Thanks for any help.
[13:15] <NoTownKasper> "Value (String) for image files." is what it asks for. I've even tried resizing the add window just to see if my theme was hiding it or something.
[13:15] <Odd-rationale> ratatosk: what filesystem do you have on it?
[13:15] <AndrewB> Lainy: have you restarted conky yah?
[13:15] <ratatosk> Odd-rationale, i just formated it with ext3
[13:15] <Lainy> (I asked in #conky, but there has been no activity there for over 12 hours)
[13:15] <Lainy> AndrewB: Yes.
[13:15] <AndrewB> hm
[13:16] <Odd-rationale> ratatosk: with gparted? I had the same problem. it seems that gparted does not apply the correct permisions when formatting to ext3.
[13:16] <Odd-rationale> ratatosk: are you willing to reformat again?
[13:17] <ratatosk> Odd-rationale, no, i used: sudo mk2fs -j /dev/sdb1 ... sure i wouldn't mind reformatting
[13:17] <HasanNoori> anyone know wich package is must be install to create a localhost(lamp)?
[13:17] <DJones> !lamp | HasanNoori
[13:17] <ubotu> HasanNoori: 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+)
[13:17] <HasanNoori> Ii have an ubuntu b7.10 on my sistem with out addetionall packAge
[13:17] <Odd-rationale> ratatosk: ok try "mkfs.ext3 -L <yourdisklabel> /dev/sdb1"
[13:17] <msn> is the ubuntu repos broken

[13:18] <msn> i am trying to install mplayer on amd64 and i am getting /l/lzo/liblzo1_1.08-3_amd64.deb missing
[13:18] <Dr_willis> msn,  i jusr updated and upgraded.. so not here
[13:18] <Dr_willis> msn, update, and try agaain. could be some issue with your specific server

[13:18] <jake2point0> Hello
[13:18] <noam_>  hey there... i have an audio problem. i'm trying to record two audio tracks at the same time; to do that i use audacity to record one track and then record the other one on top of it. the problem is that when "play other tracks while recording a new one" is checked in preferences, audacity just hangs and dies
[13:19] <NoTownKasper> aloha.
[13:19] <Lamego> msn, just use another mirror
[13:19] <HasanNoori> ubotu: thanx
[13:19] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[13:19] <Odd-rationale> ratatosk: actually, you drive should already be unmounted before you try to refomat it. so umount has redundant. sorry.
[13:19] <HSNews> checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
[13:19] <HSNews> what's wrong?
[13:19] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: ok im in ubuntu and got my CompizConfigManager open and im looking in Cube... where do i go to find where to change the caps?
[13:19] <Lamego> HSNews, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[13:20] <ratatosk> Odd-rationale, thanks, ill try it
[13:20] <linux-lover> HasanNoori:  ubotu eee robatee :D
[13:20] <NoTownKasper> Ok, Appearances tab.
[13:20] <HasanNoori> DJones: yes i want to get localhost with lamp(linux apachee mysql php or perl or python)
[13:20] <HSNews> Lamego, thank you!
[13:20] <Scunizi> noam_, the version of audacity in gutsy is beta and I've had issues as well.. you might try to compile and install the stable version from audacity's site
[13:20] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: ok im there
[13:20] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: Appearances tab, right under cube color and above skydone.
[13:20] <noam_> :/
[13:20] <IndyGunFreak> jake2point0: this is in reference to a question you asked earlier about peerguardian, I just saw it...  http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives?page=11
[13:21] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: i got a browse button next to the string blank.
[13:22] <NoTownKasper> ...
[13:22] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: looks like a folder
[13:22] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper:  do you see it now?
[13:22] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: I know what the browse button looks like. :P I have one for cube background...but it's not there next to the cubecap. Maybe I've got a package missing that I need?
[13:22] <ggrunt> Hey guys im trying to make an app start on startup tutorial suggest I put it in a file /etc/rc.d/rc.local but that doesnt exist would you know of an alternative file I could put it in..
[13:23] <noam_> could you recommend an other program (not audacity) to do recording of multiple tracks? i don't need any features other than that :)
[13:23] <unop> ggrunt, it's /etc/rc.local - but first, do you want to start this app as root or as the user?
[13:23] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: am i looking in wrong place?
[13:23] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: If I knew how to send you a screenshot, I would. but I think you're in the right place.
[13:23] <msn> or is this an issue with apt-mirror
[13:23] <dmsuperman> i just put a blank dvd in my drive and am trying to use the built in ubuntu burn:/// window to burn one, however when I click write to disc it just says please insert a blank dvd. the drive works, I just burnt a dvd in windows yesterday, and I've tried 3 different DVDs (including different brands).
[13:24] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: I think the problem is on my end.
[13:24] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: i see what you mean now...
[13:24] <ggrunt> unop as root I would assume.
[13:24] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: no i see it now... the cubecaps dont have a browse button like the one above has.
[13:24] <dmsuperman> It popped up "you have just inserted a blank dvd, what would you like to do?" so it does recognize that it's a blank dvd at least somewhere
[13:24] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: Exactly my problem. :\
[13:24] <noam_> i'm going to install audacity for windows in wine...
[13:24] <DJones> dmsuperman: have you tried using gnomebaker or k3b to burn with?
[13:25] <Tyreus> Can anyone help me with the desktop effects?
[13:25] <dmsuperman> DJones, nope, just realized it was selecting my other dvd drive to try and burn with haha. thanks :D
[13:25] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: And if I try to insert a path to the image file, it doesn't error or anything, it just does nothing. Like I never gave it a value in the first place.
[13:25] <unop> ggrunt, well, be sure -- if it's an application that needs your interaction (a GUI app for e.g.) then it shouldnt go in there, if it's a one-off command that start a system service, then sure
[13:25] <Scunizi> noam_, unfortunatly I don't do any multitrack recording.. there is a multimedia distribution of ubuntu that has repo's with some good stuff that might work for you.. however other's will have to tell you the name.
[13:25] <orphee> hello
[13:25] <ggrunt> yes its for a ventrilo server once its on its on and requires no interaction from me
[13:25] <ggrunt> thanks
[13:25] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: google it.  thats what im doing.
[13:26] <orphee> who can to say me where the forum in french please
[13:26] <DJones> !fr | orphee
[13:26] <ubotu> orphee: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[13:26] <unop> !fr | orphee
[13:26] <orphee> ????
[13:26] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: I have been, for the last 4 hours. I've scoured the ubuntu forums, and even gone over a few compiz specific sites. Nothing. Closest I could come across was this goof on the ubuntu forums looking for the default instalation folder for the default cube cap.
[13:26] <unop> orphee, /j #ubuntu-fr
[13:27] <orphee> thanf\k you
[13:28] <NoTownKasper> jake2point0: I'd post on the forums myself, but the hope is that I'll have this done in the next 3 hours. :\ I have to return this box to it's owner for payment. :P Dude's paying me to configure it.
[13:28] <jake2point0> NoTownKasper: im sorry.  im joining the compiz-fusion room
[13:29] <ggrunt> !pastebin
[13:29] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[13:30] <dmsuperman> What's the maximum size for a nickname on freenode (or any irc if it
[13:30] <noam_> hah, audacity 1.2 in wine works great (almost)
[13:30] <dmsuperman> 's a global thing)
[13:30] <NoTownKasper> can I use pastebin for graphics?
[13:30] <DJones> NoTownKasper: I'm afraid not, its text only
[13:30] <NoTownKasper> Oh well. :\
[13:31] <KenSentMe> Hi, is it possible to ping multiple ip addresses with the ping command (or some other program)?
[13:31] <sCOTTo> hey guys - quick reference question - how do i flush my DNS in my ubuntu ?
[13:31] <sCOTTo> whats the command?
[13:32] <capt_rogers> what are the proper permissions, owner and group for /home in ubuntu?
[13:32] <HyperStream> how do i get a laptop's touch mouse and buttons work?
[13:32] <DJones> NoTownKasper: Don't know which ones work, but if you google for pastebin and image, a few imagebin website come up, that may be of use to you
[13:32] <Dr_willis> capt_rogers,  drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4.0K 2008-04-10 21:09 home/
[13:32] <adam-mint> hey guys, i have mint, a version of ubuntu, how do i get a mac osx dock?
[13:32] <KenSentMe> capt_rogers, mine are root root drwxr-xr-x
[13:32] <Dr_willis> adam-mint,  look in the repos/installer tool for a osx like dock.  theres a few out.. most all of them suck
[13:33] <capt_rogers> why does root own all home directories? hmmmmm
[13:33] <Dr_willis> adam-mint,  'Advant window manager' is one.
[13:33] <adam-mint> k
[13:33] <adam-mint> thanks dr
[13:33] <DJones> adam-mint: You probably need to ask in #mint, although AWN is probably suitable for you
[13:33] <Dr_willis> capt_rogers,  he owns the home dir.. not the /home/username dirs
[13:33] <HSNews> how to update 'locate' db?
[13:33] <arvind_khadri> KenSentMe, not with ping i guess
[13:33] <Dr_willis> capt_rogers,  who whould be owning it if not root?
[13:34] <capt_rogers> /home/username...is then 755...and username.username?
[13:34] <DracoZA> Quick question hopefully, I cant play any sort of video or audio file on a windows share but I can play any type of file on the local machine ?
[13:34] <kr0n1x> hi, what is the folder when i can place custom epiphany's extensions? ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions?
[13:34] <Dr_willis> My home dir is --> drwxr-xr-x 81 willis willis 4.0K 2008-04-15 21:55 willis/
[13:34] <capt_rogers> ok..makes sense now
[13:35] <adam-mint> the problem with the #mint is there is noone on there in the morning, and that is when i am so ambitious
[13:35] <Dr_willis> Problem with Mint is.. well.. i wont go there.. :)
[13:35] <adam-mint> Dr_willis: explain...
[13:36] <adam-mint> Dr_willis: i dont know... i am trying it..
[13:36] <Dr_willis> adam-mint,  I used mint for a while.. and decided it just wasent worth messing with. It has some nice features.. but nothing i couldent do with normal ubuntu.
[13:36] <haf> hi, how can I copy a set of hidden files with the cp command? If I use "cp .* /targetfolder", it obviously copies the files from the parent folder, the man file doesn't help
[13:36] <adam-mint> Dr_willis: very true but it was an easy install to have all of medibuntu built right in
[13:36] <bazhang> #linuxmint can help you adam-mint; get ubuntu (the real deal)-----> www.ubuntu.com/download and then we can talk ;]
[13:37] <jrib> haf: define "a set of hidden files"
[13:37] <arvind_khadri> haf try cp -r
[13:37] <Dr_willis> adam-mint,  setting up medibuntu and installing the stuff takes me all of 5 min.
[13:37] <haf> ok, will try  with -r, thanks
[13:37] <adam-mint> bazhang: i had ubuntu, i just figured i would try another version of ubuntu
[13:37] <bazhang> adam-mint: linuxmint is not supported in this channel
[13:37] <achadwick> DracoZA: it's (most probably) GNOME's lack of support for mounting remote drives as Proper Local Folders. It should be fixed in hardy+1 though, by my guesstimate. In the meantime, you could investigate FUSE.
[13:37] <haf> jrib, set of hidden files = all hidden files in the current folder :)
[13:38] <DracoZA> any idea why I get "smb: input plugin" errors accessing network files ?
[13:38] <bazhang> !mint | adam-mint
[13:38] <ubotu> adam-mint: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate
[13:38] <DracoZA> k thanks
[13:38] <jrib> haf: the command you posted worked, it would just complain about directories.  -r fixes it I suppose
[13:38] <ivob> So. I'm net-installing ubuntu 8.04 server edition amd64 image. Process fails at "Downloading installer components" ... No kernel modules found.
[13:38] <Pici> ivob: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[13:39] <adam-mint> bazhang: thank you, however, it was just a simple question i will consult #mint, but at the same time, i get better answers from you guys, the heart of it all
[13:39] <ivob> jesus 1300 people in here
[13:39] <ivob> Pici: ok
[13:39] <paarth> haf: cp .?* <directory>
[13:39] <haf> ok, then probably I missed something, will double check :)
[13:39] <paarth> I think that will avoid the .
[13:39] <hansderagon> Greetings.  I cannot get my numeric pad working.  It does nothing.  Bug in 08.04 or bad config?  If bad config, any suggestion what it could be?  I cannot find anything in the keyboard preference.
[13:39] <paarth> do -r if you want folders too
[13:39] <ggrunt> Well to those who have helped me this week thanks I finally have a linux server doing exactly what I want it to do running in VM! Time to do it again but a bit cleaner now hahahaha
[13:40] <hansderagon> Ah.
[13:40] <hansderagon> Found something... my num pad is a mouse now...
[13:40] <adam-mint> i guess i will go slick mint, and come back in RAW UBUNTU... lol
[13:40] <jrib> hansderagon: ctrl-shift-numlock
[13:41] <capt_rogers> i think it is the synaptic gui front end that makes ubuntu such fun to work with. it should be about trying out new packages, not hacking them to get them to work. (which still happens)
[13:41] <haf> got it now the way I want it, thanks for the help everyone :)
[13:41] <adam-mint> Dr_willis: thanks i appreciate your help
[13:41] <hansderagon> jrib, ty.  You solved it.
[13:41] <DracoZA> whats the latest version of ubuntu ?
[13:41] <jrib> DracoZA: 7.10
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> haf, so did -r work?
[13:41] <DracoZA> K, i'll be patient some more
[13:41] <hansderagon> Is there an option somewhere to toggle this in preference?  Else, how can a user find out about this key combination?
[13:42] <tuntun> Hi. Windows crapped out and now ive got a whole pile of .chk files. I have no idea what file is what. Is there any linux app that can hint to me their file/mime type?
[13:42] <jrib> hansderagon: the mousekeys you mean?
[13:42] <arvind_khadri> DracoZA, the last stable would be 7.04 and latest is 8.04 due 24th
[13:42] <Dr_willis> tuntun,  'file filename' - might give a clue.
[13:42] <jrib> arvind_khadri: latest stable is 7.10
[13:42] <Dr_willis> tuntun,  but i imagine most are  trash.
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> jrib, :) i use it and find it less stable :D
[13:43] <capt_rogers> i setup 7.10 ubuntu-desktop at home..installed freenx server onto it..and freenx client at work and laptop..so from anywhere i can login to my ubuntu gnome securely.  ubuntu and freenx is the dynamic duo.
[13:43] <DJones> tuntun: From memory, .chk files are normally recovered files after a crash/drive problem, so they could be anything
[13:44] <Creationist> I have no relevent options in the context menu for DVDs anymore.  Only "Open" and "Browse Folder," both of which do the same thing.  Why do I no longer have the option to "Play" it?
[13:44] <MAD_da_Great> help me anyone

[13:45] <ubotu> MAD_da_Great: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience

[13:46] <tuntun> DJones, yeah .chk files can be any stream of data, but are usually whole files. I need to get the surviving files.

[13:48] <arvind_khadri> !paste | MAD_da_Great
[13:48] <ubotu> MAD_da_Great: 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)
[13:48] <hansderagon> Found it.
[13:48] <hansderagon> jrib, never mind.

[13:49] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, i have a dual core processor, but i have cpu0, cpu1 and cpu2 listed. can anyone tell me which of these is which?
[13:49] <DJones> tuntun: You could try the "file" command, it's in the repo's, that might be able to identify what the file types are
[13:50] <tuntun> DJones, Dr_willis suggest that also, I will try it.
[13:51] <Na-Fiann> Hi, is there a way to make the terminal ignore a newline in a command?

[13:52] <arvind_khadri> Na-Fiann, thats ok
[13:52] <jrib> msingh: the name of a .iso file containing the alternate installer for the beta version of ubuntu for amd64?
[13:52] <DJones> !hardy | msingh Its Ubuntu 8.04 due for release in about 10 days suitable for AMD64 machines

[13:55] <matteo1990> hello! I have a problem with setting hotmail SMTP on thunderbird
[13:55] <matteo1990> anyone may help me plz?
[13:55] <matteo1990> :)
[13:56] <WildcatVKR> matteo1990, I don't think hotmail allows smtp with any other client than outlook express and outlook
[13:56] <matteo1990> i have 2 differents account in thunderbird, the first is with email, the other with hotmail but thunderbird always try to send email with email smtp also the hotmails'
[13:57] <DJones> matteo1990: I don't know about Thunderbird, but you can use hotmail with Evolution using the hotway application
[13:57] <WildcatVKR> DJones, nice to know.
[13:58] <bullgard4> According to Wikipedia the inode stores the information 'Type of file (ordianry file, directory, link, …)'. The possible values () form a finite set. Where can I find a listing of the possible values of this set? --  What command-line commands will print the file type? How does Nautilus determine the  'Type' of a file shown?
[13:58] <DJones> !hotway | matteo1990, WildcatVKR (As long as the hotmail accounts are old ones from before they started charging for some services though)
[13:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hotway - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:59] <DJones> !hotmail | matteo1990, WildcatVKR (As long as the hotmail accounts are old ones from before they started charging for some services though)
[13:59] <ubotu> matteo1990, WildcatVKR (As long as the hotmail accounts are old ones from before they started charging for some services though): If you need to use an MSN Hotmail account, consider packages such as "hotway" and "hostsmtp", which are gateways respectively to the !POP and !SMTP protocols (also supporting Lycos and Spray)
[13:59] <crazytalk> there is an option in the firestarter wizard called 'start the firewall on dial out', i don't use DSL and my broadband comes from an antenna on the roof of my home, do i still 'dial out'? when i hear the phone i think of a phoneline but i have to ask because i want to make sure the firewall starts all the time and i don't want to overlook this option
[14:00] <matteo1990> how to use hostsmtp with thunderbird and hotmail? :)
[14:00] <Pici> crazytalk: Is your internet always on?
[14:00] <matteo1990> not always
[14:00] <matteo1990> :
[14:00] <matteo1990> :S
[14:00] <capt_rogers> crazy, if the device that connects you to the internet needs to call a phone number....then i am pretty sure that means 'dial out'
[14:01] <crazytalk> Pici: yes
[14:01] <Pici> crazytalk: Then you don't dial out :)
[14:01] <crazytalk> ty lol :)
[14:04] <chtp> anyone here knows a good and performant alternative for packet logging via tcpdump
[14:05] <matteo1990> webmail and hotmail let me recive and send mails  (with SMTP, POP) setting localhost with thunderbird on ports 1024,1025.I recive emails good, the problem is in sending. I have 2 accounts so when i try to send thunderbird try to send the mail with the email(email.smtp) and noth the localhost(hotmail) one. Anyone know how to solve? thx alot :D
[14:06] <adv__> i get an error 573 root@localhost failed to route the address with postfix. anyone know how i resolve this problem?
[14:06] <capt_rogers> do you think they will give Hans Reiser access to a computer in prison? I mean he is a world class programmer. His programming could be part of his restitution.

[14:06] <Romain> anyone know how to recover loading bar on boot (i've a out of frenquency message on screen )
[14:07] <arvind_khadri> Romain, 7.10?
[14:07] <Romain> yep
[14:07] <Lacrymology> my mouse became unresponsive
[14:07] <Lacrymology> does anyone know a way to.. diagnose?
[14:07] <arvind_khadri> Romain, some issue with acpi thing ...its not been set right
[14:08] <Romain> ok, thanks for the tips
[14:08] <Lacrymology> yes? no?
[14:08] <arvind_khadri> Lacrymology, has it stopped responding?
[14:08] <Lacrymology> arvind_khadri: yes
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> Lacrymology, what do dmesg|tail and lsusb say...assuming a usb mouse
[14:09] <Lacrymology> I locked gnome last night, and when I came in today, it didn't work anymore. Neither restarting X or rebooting the machine did anything
[14:09] <Lacrymology> arvind_khadri: ps/2
[14:09] <crazytalk> i am following a guide to allow the blizzard downloader which use bittorrent to download software and it has had me open ports within firestarter but now it wants me to set up port forwarding for them on my router. i don't have a router, so i can skip that step, i don't have to make up for it some how?
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> Romain, it hasnt been working for me too,so if you get around please do tell me too
[14:10] <arvind_khadri> Lacrymology, try lsusb
[14:10] <Lamego> crackhead_25__, if you dont have a router, you just need the ports to be open
[14:10] <Lamego> ops, i meant crazytalk
[14:11] <Lacrymology> arvind_khadri: dmesg | grep mouse says "mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice"
[14:11] <Lacrymology> lsusb says

[14:12] <JonathanEllis> swuboo: Hi again. I did what you said " Try Alt-Printscreen-R, then Alt-Printscreen-I, then Alt-Printscreen-S, Alt-Printscreen-U, then Alt-Printscreen-B." and the machine began rebooting and got to the boot menu, where I let it autoload Ubuntu normally (not console). But it never made it to the logon screen. I pressed ctrl alt f1 and it says "Starting up... Loading, please wait..." It has been like that for the last hour. Any ideas?
[14:12] <Lainy> Hello, can someone tell me where I can ask a computer hardware related question? Thanks.

[14:32] <metrekare> is there anybody there?
[14:33] <DJones> !anybody | metrekare
[14:33] <ubotu> metrekare: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[14:33] <ZeroA4> titan_, but you can also install it using graphic tools like add/remove or synaptic
[14:33] <hischild> metrekare: yes we are. If you ask the question then ask.
[14:33] <hischild> titan_: you have to precede that command with sudo. You need root rights to do it.
[14:33] <fat_rat> titan_: sudo apt-get ...
[14:33] <StooJ> What command can I use to show my partitions, but also their mount points?
[14:33] <titan_> ah thanks, i found it now
[14:33] <hischild> StooJ: type mount
[14:33] <StooJ> Is there some fdisk switch I could use?
[14:34] <metrekare> my ubuntu stucks when I press fn+f5 to use an external monitor
[14:34] <simion314> titan_: that error happens if you have synaptyc or add/remove program open
[14:34] <ZeroA4> titan_, use sudo... ex: "sudo apt-get install freeciv-client-gtk freeciv-server"
[14:34] <metrekare> is it a common bug?
[14:34] <titan_> what does SUDO mean?
[14:34] <StooJ> That'll do nicely, thanks Hischild
[14:34] <hischild> simion314: read the error more carefully. It's telling him he doesn't have the proper rights. He has to precede with sudo.
[14:34] <ZeroA4> titan_, Super User DO
[14:34] <StooJ> Should have thought of that
[14:34] <titan_> I feel better knowing im super
[14:35] <hischild> metrekare: though i'm not aware whether it's a bug, try using the tool for it. What graphics card do you have?
[14:35] <metrekare> wait a sec
[14:35] <hischild> titan_: sudo means the command that follows it will be executed as a root user.
[14:35] <Gast568> smrdite

[14:47] <Cheesypieces> guys, does anyone know how to extract files into the /usr/share/... directory?
[14:48] <hischild> Cheesypieces: you need sudo rights for that.
[14:48] <Cheesypieces> hischild: how do i do that?
[14:48] <Scunizi> trippss, deskbar work well.. on cli there's locate and find but before using them do a sudo updatedb
[14:48] <hischild> Cheesypieces: what are you trying to extract there?
[14:49] <Cheesypieces> hischild: some skins for amsn
[14:49] <hischild> Cheesypieces: you sure those don't go into a folder in /home? well, you can cd to the directory to extract to and then use tar xvf </path/to/file>
[14:50] <vi390> can someone tell me, whats wrong with that in /etc/fstab (/dev/sda1               /mnt/sda    ext3            rw,auto,users,exec 0 2)  why is the HD not ready to safe files to ?

[14:50] <hischild> vi390: there can be a couple dozen reasons. to name a few: is the HD damaged? Are the partitions faulty? is something else wrong?
[14:50] <kwvarga> How do I add apache rights to a subfolder of my home directory.. I want to be able to put stuff in there via ftp and show up under an Alias.. I already have the Alias mapped, but it says 403 - Permission Denied
[14:51] <hischild> vi390: to troubleshoot it wuold be most helpfull if you can give the error
[14:51] <vi390> hischild: nope are fresh Disks . Its just something wrong with either Fstab, or chmod , chown  they are owned by root at the moment
[14:51] <matteo1990> anyone knows how to import address book from hotmail to thunderbird?
[14:51] <hischild> vi390: then you can sudo chown <user>:<user> /mount/point and your user will own them.
[14:51] <vi390> but  I thought the : users directive makes them accessible from everyone
[14:52] <trippss> Scunizi, thx. I guess I needed to add a couple of plugins to make deskpar more useful :)
[14:52] <trippss> s/par/bar/
[14:52] <hischild> vi390: iirc the users directive makes normal users able to mount it
[14:52] <manos21> HI. Is there any suggestion on tv tuners (pci) for linux?
[14:52] <hischild> !tv | manos21
[14:52] <ubotu> manos21: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out
[14:52] <hischild> vi390: i have to run. Good luck with it.
[14:53] <Scunizi> trippss, what did you "plug in" ?
[14:53] <trippss> Scunizi, Beagle and files and folders search extensions
[14:53] <Scunizi> trippss, ah..
[14:55] <manos21> ubotu: thanks. I own a pctv 310e but I can't find any drivers for that. That's why I need a new card after endering the linux world
[14:55] <Scunizi> manos21, ubotu is a bot...
[14:56] <Distraught> can someone help me
[14:56] <Distraught> ?
[14:56] <LjL> !ask | Distraught
[14:56] <ubotu> Distraught: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[14:56] <SpookyET> NetworkManager annoys the shite out of me. There is a wifi network named "default". It always wants to connect to it. When I tell it to connect to my network, it still tries to connect to default until it eventually stops a few minutes later. Then I can connect to my network.
[14:56] <Distraught> i lost a partition my hdd had a capacity of 80GB and now i can see only the one partition
[14:57] <erUSUL> Distraught: how did you lost it; what were you doing ?
[14:58] <Distraught> i was installing ubuntu and it didn't boot so i reinstalled ubuntu and i couldn't see the second partition
[14:58] <Berto> Is there an AMD64 repository for Firefox 3 Beta?
[14:59] <Scunizi> Distraught, do you mean the /swap partition or the / (root) partition or the /home partition..
[15:00] <Distraught> Scunizi i had 2 partitions of 40GB each. the first was the file system an d the second contained only files
[15:00] <ToroT_> ikonia,  Still here ?
[15:00] <Romain> Distraught, fdisk -l
[15:01] <Distraught> Romain http://pastebin.com/m57353c9f
[15:01] <Scunizi> Distraught, so you installed ubuntu on the first? and left the second alone because of the data?
[15:01] <Distraught> yes
[15:01] <Distraught> i don't care about the data i have backups i just want my capacity back
[15:02] <_Nate_> I have a logitech mouse (mediaplay) and I was wondering how to get the extra buttons working.
[15:02] <R33P3R> any1 know a good program to learn perl?
[15:03] <_Nate_> To learn a language, I would suggest picking a relatively small project and doing it yourself
[15:03] <_Nate_> Read online tutorials when you don't know how to do something
[15:03] <_Nate_> Do you know any other languages already?
[15:03] <Berto> R33P3R, I learned 10 years ago (and haven't used it much lately) but I used O'Reilly's books, Learning Perl to start
[15:04] <Scunizi> Distraught, the partition that is showing in your pastebin is a NTFS partition.. probably the one with your data on it.. when  you installed you probably did everything (except swap) in one partition.. can you paste your fstab?  to look at it without editing it "gedit /etc/fstab"
[15:04] <R33P3R> no, i recently converted to ubuntu from windows, so im pretty newb
[15:04] <Distraught> Scunizi fstab?where can i find this?
[15:04] <crispy--> Hey. Anyone know if ubuntu supports hardware decoding of x264 video with the new 780g chipset?
[15:04] <R33P3R> thanks berto
[15:04] <Scunizi> Distraught, I just told you..
[15:05] <Scunizi> Distraught, type gedit /etc/fstab
[15:05] <_Nate_> Anybody know how to get a logitech mediaplay mouse working on ubuntu?
[15:06] <Distraught> doesn't sho w anything propably because i'm running live cd
[15:06] <Distraught> i formated the disk .. i was trying to find the lost space
[15:06] <pbx> Is SQLite part of the standard Ubuntu distribution? I'm trying to verify this for a book.
[15:07] <guy_> does anyone know how to use apt-get to download (not install) packages without getting any dependencies?
[15:07] <Scunizi> Distraught, you have to do more than format it.. if you want all 80 in one partition.. you have to delete both partitions and recreate the one you want..
[15:08] <Distraught> scunizi it's ok i just want the space back. I have backups of my data
[15:08] <Scunizi> Distraught, so go throught the install process and when it gets to the partitioning part tell it to use the entire hd
[15:09] <Distraught> scunizi yes . and there the system shows a hdd of 40GB.. not 80GB
[15:09] <viclim> guy_, what u mean by that..
[15:10] <Scunizi> Distraught, then choose manual partitioning and have it delete what ever is currently existing as a functional partition and then create one large one.
[15:10] <crazytalk> guy_: when i used synaptic package manager earlier it offered to download without installing
[15:11] <Arelis> How do i get a non-modified version of KDE on Ubuntu? Not the Kubuntu stuff, but the original kde
[15:11] <Distraught> scunizi nowhere is shown a total space of 80GB
[15:11] <DJones> Distraught: When you reinstalled, did you add a mount point for your data partition?
[15:12] <Scunizi> Distraught, you cold always download gparted live cd and use that to examine your hd.. are you using the Hardy cd?
[15:12] <mohi> hi :)
[15:13] <Distraught> i could only see a 40GB of space so i did it maually 4096 swap and the rest of the space ext
[15:13] <Distraught> ext2
[15:13] <kwvarga> How There are some folders about 2 levels deep ~/public_html/a/b/?? that do not show up in directory listing, also when I try to go into them they say file not found.. but they exist.. I have tried using both mod_userdir and mod_alias.
[15:13] <kwvarga> apache2
[15:13] <mohi> how can I retrive my forgotten pgp pasphrase?
[15:13] <carla> hi can anyone help me, I have no sound. I have already followed the guide on the wubuntu wiki but still no luck. Any1?
[15:13] <Distraught> scunizi gpart and gparted show a total space of 40G
[15:13] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: make sure www-data has permissions to see them
[15:13] <dmsuperman_> !alsa | carla
[15:13] <ubotu> carla: 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
[15:14] <kwvarga> dmsuperman: how would I do that, without messing up its rights
[15:14] <Scunizi> Distraught, in the upper right corner of the gparted screen there is a place to change the drive you are looking at..
[15:14] <Distraught> scunizi there is only one hdd
[15:14] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ~/public_html"
[15:15] <Jeriath> can anyone help me with setting up vncserver....ive tried several different online posts, and none work :/
[15:15] <DJones> Distraught: Have a look at this website, it should help you mount the other partition http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[15:15] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: then make sure you have at the very least read permissions for everybody
[15:15] <dmsuperman_> Jeriath: you can usually just go into system -> preferences -> remote and enable it
[15:15] <Jeriath> yes
[15:15] <Sim7b> Hello
[15:15] <Jeriath> i can connect using the viewer
[15:15] <Scunizi> Distraught,  I was thinking of partitions.. but it'll show all  those with a hd choice...  I'm lost .. maybe DJones 's link will help
[15:15] <Sim7b> speak french
[15:16] <Jeriath> but it says no password for authentication
[15:16] <Jeriath> but i did set a password
[15:16] <Scunizi> !fr | Sim7b

[15:16] <Distraught> Djones http://pastebin.com/m57353c9f
[15:16] <DJones> Distraught: can you pastebin the result of sudo fdisk -l so we can see what partitions you've got
[15:16] <Distraught> Djones http://pastebin.com/m57353c9f
[15:16] <dmsuperman_> Jeriath: all I can suggest is go back into the panel and make sure you read all the options and you aren't blocking anything, beyond that it's over my head
[15:16] <DJones> Distraught: You beat me too it
[15:17] <Distraught> :D
[15:17] <_Nate_> I have an athlon 64 bit processor, where can I find the flash plugin?
[15:17] <_Nate_> the one on adobe.com only has an x86 version for linux
[15:17] <erUSUL> _Nate_: sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree
[15:17] <_Nate_> I did
[15:17] <_Nate_> it doesn't seem to work on some newer flash
[15:18] <marx2k> the 24th is creeping up... Are people experiencing lots of bug issues with the beta?
[15:18] <carla> yes I already did that, but when I use alsamixer I cannot change the volume. aplay finds the card and everything
[15:18] <Pici> marx2k: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[15:18] <Jeriath> i know im not blocking anything since i can actually connect no....i think its an authentication problem
[15:18] <Jeriath> i dunno :\
[15:18] <DJones> Distraught: Is that the drive you've got Ubuntu installed on? seems wierd that it says its HPFS/NTFS formatted
[15:19] <erUSUL> _Nate_: i works fine here
[15:19] <mohi> how can I retrive my forgotten pgp pasphrase?
[15:19] <dmsuperman_> Jeriath: right, like i said look in there and see if you're blocking _anything_. authentication requests and all. ensure you don't have the "ask you permission" or some such box checked
[15:19] <Distraught> Djones now there nothing instaleld i'm running a live cd and i formated my drive in the case it could help with the problem
[15:19] <carla> _Nate_ : you have to use the nspluginwrapper
[15:20] <pbx> No ideas on the SQLite question?
[15:20] <Scunizi> DJones, he's on a live cd looking at his HD that is suppose to have 2 partitions.. 80 gig drive , split 40/40
[15:20] <_Nate_> where can I find that?
[15:20] <Distraught> that's right
[15:20] <Gman99999> hey does anyone know how to gwt avant window navigator to work with KDE?
[15:20] <Scunizi> DJones, or should I say 50/50%  which works out to 40gigs/40gigs
[15:20] <Jeriath> nope...unchecked that....there isnt many optioins in there...only two to check to enable it for viewing and control and two security, one for password and one for ask for permission
[15:20] <erUSUL> _Nate_: if you install the package i said nspluginwrapper is installed and configured for you as well
[15:20] <Jeriath> all are checked except the ask for permission one
[15:20] <carla> _Nate _ : http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/
[15:20] <DJones> Distraught: Ah, right, if its totally blank and you're willing to reformat, maybe its worth using gparted to delete the partitions and the reformat to ext3
[15:21] <erUSUL> _Nate_: it is the only way of using flash on 64 bits
[15:21] <WorkingOnWise> are the ubuntu repository servers throttled down to around 120k?
[15:21] <dmsuperman_> WorkingOnWise: not for me, they max my connection usually
[15:21] <erUSUL> carla: if you install the package flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper is installed and configured for you as well
[15:21] <Distraught> djones in a kind of way yes . I just want to find the space i lost
[15:21] <Lamego> WorkingOnWise, no, just select another mirror if you have performance issues
[15:21] <dmsuperman_> WorkingOnWise: and I have an "advertised" 15mbps down
[15:21] <Kaja> I get 6 - 11 MB/s from the Finnish mirror.
[15:21] <erUSUL> carla: on 64 bits that's it
[15:22] <WorkingOnWise> ok. thanks.
[15:22] <Distraught> djones i can only see 40 GB o fspace
[15:22] <DJones> Distraught: I'm not sure why its only showing the first 40Gb though, maybe just a bug/quirk with the type of format
[15:22] <Scunizi> DJones, tried that with him.. partitioner and formatter on live cd sees only 40.. for some reason
[15:23] <pbx> Is there any way to tell from the information on this page whether this package is included in the base Ubuntu dist or not?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sqlite3
[15:23] <kwvarga> dmsuperman: that worked, but now i cant cd into those directories.. but i can see them on the web server
[15:23] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: chmod them so your user has permissions to access them as well
[15:23] <erUSUL> pbx: apt-cache policy package ??
[15:24] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: i never can remember the permissions order, but giving everybody read, and owner and local write and execute should be fine
[15:24] <DJones> Scunizi: Distraught Outside of taking the drive out of the machine and double checking that it is an 80Gb one, the only other thing I can think of is to download a gparted live cd rather than using the ubuntu livecd
[15:24] <pbx> erUSUL: I'm not on an Ubuntu machine right now.
[15:24] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: i _believe_ that's 774
[15:24] <Scunizi> DJones, that was my suggestion..
[15:24] <carla> erUSUL, No, i'm not trying to get flash runing, I already have... I was helping _Nate_ :)
[15:24] <Distraught> Djones the hdd is 80Gb i have this notebook 4 years and i use it almost everyday
[15:24] <dmsuperman_> kwvarga: so that would be "sudo chmod -R 777 ~/public_html"
[15:24] <pbx> erUSUL: But thanks for the command
[15:25] <Cheesypieces> guys, ive allowed far too much space for my root partition, whats the easiest way to give more of this to my homes partition?
[15:25] <dmsuperman_> Cheesypieces: repartition
[15:25] <DJones> !gparted | Distraught, Try downloading from here, hopefully, that will show the correct partitions
[15:25] <ubotu> Distraught, Try downloading from here, hopefully, that will show the correct partitions: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[15:25] <Lamego> pbx, sqlite3 is most likely main
[15:25] <marx2k> My Ubuntu laptop drive crashed and burned recently :(
[15:25] <erUSUL> carla: i know; just informing you as i did with _Nate_ that the instalation of nsisplginwrapper is not necesary
[15:25] <pbx> Lamego: But how do I verify that? This is for a book so I'm trying to be definitive :)
[15:25] <Distraught> i m running gparted nothing more..
[15:25] <Distraught> 40GB of total sapce
[15:25] <Cheesypieces> dmsuperman: ok thanks i'll try that
[15:26] <Lamego> pbx, apt-cache show sqlite3
[15:26] <Cheesypieces> dmsuperman: how do i do that?
[15:26] <Lamego> pbx, or, apt-cache policy sqlite3
[15:26] <pbx> Lamego: Is there anything on packages.ubuntu.com or elsewhere? I'm not on an Ubuntu machine at the moment
[15:26] <DJones> Distraught: Last time I used it, the gparted cd had a more uptodate version of gparted and it seemed to work better for me
[15:27] <carla> erUSUL, it isn't for amd64?
[15:27] <Distraught> djones so i'll try to download gparted live cd..
[15:27] <levander> Has anyone gotten funambol working?
[15:27] <erUSUL> carla: yep
[15:27] <_Nate_> it still doesn't appear to be working

[15:29] <pbx> Lamego: Thanks. That's for gutsy, right? Is there a way to get the info for hardy?
[15:29] <ampex> I can take a fresh ubuntu install and download all of the updates in a matter of minutes
[15:29] <sparr_> how can I forcibly break a process' hold/lock/whatever on an open file?  specifically my sound devices.
[15:29] <waldi994> czesc ;]
[15:29] <Lamego> pbx, no idea :(
[15:29] <jake2point0> i downloaded java and its in a .bin format.  in terminal i did a ./ jre-blah.bin and it said ./: is a directory.  what am i doing wrong please?
[15:30] <levander> sparr_: kill the process?
[15:30] <carla> ubotu, i already followed those guides, the problem is that i don't get any volume control out of alsamixer - I found a .asoundrc, which I pasted but no luck so far
[15:30] <unop> sparr_, fuser -k /path/to/file
[15:30] <levander> jake2point0: no space after /

[15:30] <erUSUL> _Nate_: they load and then dissappear :(

[15:30] <pbx> Lamego: thanks
[15:30] <Distraught> anyone has another idea?

[15:30] <ubotu> waldi994: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[15:30] <unop> sparr_, there's no way unless you can tell the process holding that lock to relinquish it
[15:30] <_Nate_> yeah, I know
[15:30] <_Nate_> how do I fix it?
[15:31] <levander> sparr_: I've never tried that, I'd start looking around the lsof command though.  But, all lsof does is tell you which processes have which files open.
[15:31] <sparr_> unop: that is...  unsurprisingly unhelpful
[15:31] <jake2point0> now it says command not found after i had to start the line with sudo
[15:31] <Pici> !java | jake2point0 please follow this instead of finding java .bins to install
[15:31] <ubotu> jake2point0 please follow this instead of finding java .bins to install: 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)
[15:31] <unop> sparr_, the simple answer, no
[15:31] <sparr_> why not?
[15:31] <Lamego> jake2point0, you should install java from the repositories
[15:31] <unop> not possible
[15:31] <unop> becuase thats how processes work
[15:31] <sparr_> it should be possible
[15:31] <carla> Can a non-bot help me with my soundproblem?
[15:32] <unop> sparr_, if you broke the lock a process has on a file, you disrupt the process's ability to function properly
[15:32] <Lamego> sparr_, no, it should not, since that would defeat the "lock" purpose
[15:32] <sparr_> unop: yes, but that disruption can already happen, if (for example) the drive the file is on fails.  i want to trigger that condition manually.
[15:33] <sparr_> Lamego: heaven forbid I "defeat" something my computer is doing undesirably
[15:33] <unop> sparr_, if a process identifies that the file it has a  lock on no longer exists, it really ought to fail .. and what you are attempting will do the same
[15:33] <_Nate_> anybody know how to get flash working on a 64 bit system?
[15:33] <sparr_> unop: the process should fail because a [non-essential] file lock fails?  that is nonsense
[15:33] <jrib> _Nate_: visit a site requiring flash in firefox and click on the yellow bar that shows up
[15:33] <Lamego> sparr_, computers don't follow desires, they follow what they are programmed for :)
[15:34] <unop> sparr_, suspend the process, remove the file and resume the process - see what happens
[15:34] <_Nate_> the flash plugin that downloads automatically only works on x86
[15:34] <jrib> _Nate_: no
[15:34] <levander> sparr_: Of course it should be possible.  Whether anyone has made it possible...
[15:34] <Lamego> sparr_, locks are critical to ensure integrity for shared resources
[15:34] <_Nate_> well, I clicked on the yellow bar, downloaded the plugin, restarted firefox, and now many moder flash applications still do not play
[15:34] <jrib> _Nate_: as long as you have the -updates repository enabled in your Software Sources, it will work fine
[15:34] <sparr_> Lamego: i agree.  i don't want it to be shared.  i want to take it away from one process and give it to another
[15:35] <levander> sparr_: Have you tried configured that process to access /dev/null as it's audio device?  Or, that doesn't really satisfy the use case you're looking at?
[15:35] <sparr_> unop: how do i suspend the process?  and how would i go about removing a sound device?
[15:35] <sparr_> levander: that would break sound, of course
[15:35] <jrib> _Nate_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[15:35] <levander> sparr_: Break it for that one application.
[15:35] <Lamego> spanther, if one process could unlock other process lock, then it would not be a lock at all, locks are authoritive
[15:35] <unop> sparr_, i think you send a STOP signal to the process
[15:36] <sparr_> Lamego: i agree.  but i am root, and therefore it doesn't matter what my users' processes want :-
[15:36] <levander> unop: He already said that doesn't satisfy what he's trying to do.
[15:36] <sparr_> :-p that is
[15:36] <_Nate_> It's quite long.. you sure?
[15:36] <sparr_> _Nate_: http://rafb.net/paste
[15:36] <Lamego> sparr_, yes it does, because processes are not user centric, processes have their own context
[15:37] <jrib> !pastebin | _Nate_
[15:37] <ubotu> _Nate_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[15:37] <Lamego> if you want to release a lock, kill the process holding the lock
[15:37] <sparr_> Lamego: for some files, I could force the lock to fail, by unplugging a drive, or forcibly removing a module.  I don't want to be *quite* that brute-force about it
[15:37] <Levan> hi all - i am looking for support on a makefile build..for asterisk-addonns is this the right place to ask
[15:37] <sparr_> but I do want to force the lock to fail
[15:37] <unop> levander, a STOP signal does not kill it, it just suspends it but anyway, it does not address his issue anyway - i was making a point about a process failing if a file was removed
[15:38] <Orbixx> Spontaneously, Pidgin no longer starts. However, if started as root - it works.
[15:38] <sparr_> unop: why would a process fail because a file was removed?  especially non-essential files.
[15:38] <balle_> i need some help getting sound out of my pc, music and stuff will play fine on the labtop speakers, but if i send it through the jack output nothing comes out, does anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
[15:38] <_Nate_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63421/
[15:38] <_Nate_> thanks
[15:38] <_Nate_> didn't know that.
[15:38] <levander> sparr_: I think you've run into a bunch of poeple who don't know how to do what you want, so rather than saying "I don't know", they're just making up a bunch of other stuff.
[15:38] <sparr_> unop: it should throw an error, a dialog or something, but definitely not completely fail
[15:38] <sparr_> levander: not uncommon at all
[15:38] <slowlearner> sparr_:  just kill that process
[15:38] <sparr_> slowlearner: i really really hate doing that
[15:38] <levander> sparr_: I know man, what I do when I find myself in that situation is just stop arguing with them, they're not going to admit they don't know.
[15:38] <unop> sparr_, it depends on how the process was written, most processes do not take into consideration a file just disappearing - and thats why they fail
[15:39] <gronbaek> balle_, had same problem they other day. Found a link, that helped me solve it.
[15:39] <jrib> _Nate_: k, and the output of 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree'?
[15:39] <sparr_> slowlearner: the process in question is firefox, and ive got a dozen tabs open
[15:39] <gronbaek> Hang on, I'll look in my history
[15:39] <sparr_> killing it is a PITA
[15:39] <acomaco> what program should i use to rotate a movie clip 90 degrees? and also convert it to like .avi?
[15:39] <Jeriath> anyone else have any ideas: I get this when trying to connect to my ubuntu machine using vnc viewer "No password configured for VNC auth"
[15:39] <sparr_> acomaco: mplayer (aka mencoder)
[15:39] <unop> sparr_, ok, i'll rephrase then - an exception is thrown if a file is removed .. and most processes do not handle this exception which leads to a failure
[15:39] <acomaco> okey..
[15:39] <slowlearner> sparr_:  and you do not want to loose all tabs?
[15:40] <acomaco> sparr_ is there a howto?
[15:40] <Levan> anyone here experienced with Ubuntu and Asterisk?
[15:40] <_Nate_> flashplugin-nonfree:
[15:40] <_Nate_>   Installed: 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12
[15:40] <_Nate_>   Candidate: 9.0.124.0ubuntu1~gutsy1
[15:40] <_Nate_>   Version table:
[15:40] <_Nate_>      9.0.124.0ubuntu1~gutsy1 0
[15:40] <_Nate_>         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/multiverse Packages
[15:40] <FloodBot1> _Nate_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:40] <BrightEyes`> hi. anyone working with no-ip.com ?
[15:40] <sparr_> acomaco: not a good one.  google "mencoder howto"
[15:40] <slowlearner> _Nate_ use pastebin
[15:40] <sparr_> slowlearner: among other things
[15:40] <Levan> brighteyes: I am
[15:40] <Lamego> !pastebin | _Nate_
[15:40] <ubotu> _Nate_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[15:40] <balle_> gronbaek: gider du sende?
[15:40] <levander> sparr_: If it's just Firefox, and only Firefox, I wouldn't be surprised if Firefox had a feature to disable it's sound.  I'd head over to #firefox on irc.mozilla.org and see if anyone over there is more helpful.
[15:40] <LjL> !dk | balle
[15:41] <sparr_> levander: i don't want to disable firefox's sound, except when it interferes with another program
[15:41] <jrib> _Nate_: run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'
[15:41] <balle_> i need some help getting sound out of my pc, music and stuff will play fine on the labtop speakers, but if i send it through the jack output nothing comes out, does anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
[15:41] <gronbaek> balle_, :-) Selvfølgelig, leder efter det link. 2 sek
[15:41] <levander> sparr_: So, if another application is playing sound, you just want Firefox not to?
[15:41] <ubotu> balle: For at få support til Ubuntu på Dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal tales kun Engelsk.
[15:41] <slowlearner> sparr_:  i would have done that a  long time ago if i found out the solution..
[15:41] <jrib> !who | _Nate_
[15:41] <ubotu> _Nate_: 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 :)
[15:41] <Levan> brighteyes: what did you need out of no-ip?
[15:41] <levander> sparr_: Two applications should be able to play sound at same time, so not sure what you mean by "interfere".
[15:42] <sparr_> levander: i agree, they should.
[15:42] <levander> sparr_: Unless it's what I'm asking above.
[15:42] <sparr_> i want other applications to be able to play sound after firefox does
[15:42] <unop_> sparr_, perhaps you need to configure firefox to use a sound subsystem that does not lock the sound device - alsa-oss should do
[15:42] <sparr_> firefox has a nasty bug where it keeps a lock on the sound device forever once it plays sound once
[15:43] <levander> sparr_: You're getting down into the details of the sound software.  I'd almost wait for PulseAudio to come out in Hardy, and tackle the problem in Hardy.
been using hardy for months</mutter>
[15:43] <levander> sparr_: PulseAudio is some thing that handles volume control on a per-application basis.
[15:43] <julle> to completly uninstall a program using apt-get, what do i write? apt-get remove <program> ?
[15:43] <slowlearner> sparr_:  hmmm, nice find! maybe we ought to raise this to  the  devs.. that behaviour doesnt make sense
[15:43] <BrightEyes`> hi. anyone working with no-ip.com ?
[15:44] <julle> or do i have to put maybe -f or something like that to the command
[15:44] <levander> sparr_: Well, that's the only idea I've got right now, look into PulseAudio.
[15:44] <sparr_> julle: you want something that involves "purge", but i dont remember the syntax
[15:44] <_Nate_> how is that done, ubotu? '!tab nick' before speaking?
[15:44] <gronbaek> balle_, here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[15:44] <Lamego> julle, sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[15:44] <Pici> _Nate_: ubotu is a bot, just start typing the nick and then press tab
[15:44] <Lamego> purge will ensure that configuration files are also deleted
[15:44] <levander> julle: the --purge options removes all configuration files in addition to all application binary files.
[15:44] <sparr_> _Nate_: ubotu is a bot.  it knows things.  "!thing | person" instructs the bot to tell person about thing
[15:44] <balle_> gronbaek: thx
[15:45] <Sake> is there a way to give only user A,B and C r/w/x access to a folder even though they belong to different groups?
[15:45] <Pici> sparr_: If you are using Hardy, surely you should be asking this question in #ubuntu+1, since gutsy does not have pulse.
[15:45] <_Nate_> Pici: oh, ok, thanks
[15:45] <levander> julle: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge <package name>'
[15:45] <sparr_> Pici: I was not asking about pulse
[15:45] <gronbaek> Even though my laptop (a Fujitsu) is not specifically mentioned,  method a worked for me.
[15:45] <julle> levander: thank you!
[15:45] <julle> Lamego: Thank you very much!
[15:45] <levander> sparr_: You don't think pulse is worth looking into to get done what you want?
[15:45] <unop_> sparr_, perhaps you should get firefox to use alsa-oss .. that way the sound device does not remain locked
[15:45] <gronbaek> There is sill sound in the speakers when i plug in the headphones... i just mute them Just happy my headphones work again
[15:46] <sparr_> levander: unlikely, but ill check it out
[15:46] <slowlearner> Sake  create another group? or make the  file 777
[15:46] <levander> sparr_: I admit, it's just a guess on my part.
[15:46] <Pici> sparr_: But you are using sound in Hardy.... ?
[15:46] <levander> Pici, he's trying to ask about general procedures.  I don't know why his question should be Hardy-specific.
[15:46] <levander> Pici: as long as he doesn't want to do it in pulse that is
[15:47] <sparr_> Pici: i am using sound in hardy
[15:47] <sparr_> Pici: but I don't think that I am using pulse
[15:47] <jrib> _Nate_: did that work?
[15:47] <Pici> sparr_: Okay, pulse audio is the default in Hardy.
[15:48] <sparr_> Pici: here we encounter the nasty disparity between Ubuntu N and Ubuntu upgraded-to-N
[15:48] <levander> sparr_: Yeah, I've read pulse is setup by Hardy's install, you probably are.
[15:48] <sparr_> one of my biggest complaints about ubuntu
[15:48] <kreative> what are some good plugins to use with amarok
[15:48] <Pici> sparr_: gutsy upgraded to hardy is still hardy.
[15:48] <levander> sparr_: The upgrade really should have installed pulse, even though I've never tried it myself.
[15:49] <sparr_> paman is not installed
[15:49] <tim168> surprise surprise, wireless card doesnt work...can anyone help ? its a netgear WG511T, i'm looking for a ndiswrapper driver but i cant find it...thanks!
[15:49] <levander> sparr_: Yeah, whether it's upgraded or fresh install usually isn't differentiated between for support purposes, unless there's a bug in the upgrade.
[15:49] <sparr_> 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 from hardy is the installation candidate, though
[15:49] <jrib> !wifi > tim168 (read the private message from ubotu)
[15:49] <VistaHater> Anybody here know about video editing programs by chance?
[15:49] <acomaco> How do i rotate a movie 90degrees with mplayer?
[15:49] <sparr_> levander: if i had a dollar for every difference in upgraded and fresh installed gutsy, feisty, and edgy...
[15:49] <Lamego> VistaHater, Avidemux, LiVeS
[15:50] <levander> sparr_: The upgrades goal is to completely get you to the new distribution, but maintain any relevant configuration you've made on the old distribution.
[15:50] <Sake> slowlearner: but I have 10 employees, and I only want 3 to acces one folder, another 3 to access another, etc...
[15:50] <koma_> anyone who know how to solve the problem of amule relate with firefox
[15:50] <sparr_> acomaco: -vf rotate=1
[15:50] <jrib> Sake: make new groups...
[15:50] <erUSUL> Sake: setup groups for them and set permissions
[15:50] <plazia> anyone else with an audigy 2 zs having problems with exaile recently? I don't seem to get the problem in other media players like beep-media-player or some others but I get a massively loud noise when playing audio in exaile.
[15:50] <levander> sparr_: Yeah there are differences, but for the upgrade to pulse just not to happen...  That's stretching it.
[15:50] <tim168> jrib, thanks, mine is not listed though, unless the T doesnt matter in 'WG511T'...
[15:51] <VistaHater> Cinelerra does nothing but crashes, need a recommendation for something a little more solid, any ideas?
[15:51] <sparr_> levander: im sure it's my fault.  doesn't matter
[15:51] <jrib> tim168: not sure, just thought I'd pass on the reference while you wait for someone to help that knows about that card
[15:51] <sparr_> im more interested in the process file lock solution
[15:52] <Lamego> sparr_, you already got the answer for that ;)
[15:52] <slowlearner> Sake create new user groups fro your employees, that's the best i think
[15:52] <jrib> _Nate_: k, I have to go now.  But if you ran the command I gave you, flash should be working after you restart firefox
[15:52] <Sake> erUSUL: but then I'm gonna need like 40 user groups.. it's a mess to maintain
[15:52] <levander> sparr_: Like I've said, maybe someone else can help you, I rarely go into UNIX system related stuff like that.  All I know is lsof will tell you which process have which files open.
[15:52] <sparr_> unop_: i am already using aoss in firefox
[15:53] <wtfnonickname> I'm having problems with my sound. Can anyone assist me?
[15:53] <Sake> It's for a samba share, so I guess I'll just use samba to access everything
[15:53] <Sake> or to restrict access that is.
[15:53] <unop_> sparr_, so which process actually has the sound device open? maybe you can configure that application
[15:53] <VistaHater> wtf - I am new here as well, not sure how things work here...
[15:53] <erUSUL> Sake: so? you can use acls on the folders/files but it will be equally messy i think ....
[15:53] <Lamego> only the lock owner process can relase the lock
[15:53] <sparr_> unop_: firefox-bin
[15:54] <dmsuperman_> !alsa | wtfnonickname
[15:54] <ubotu> wtfnonickname: 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
[15:54] <VistaHater> can anybody recommend a video editing program?
[15:54] <sparr_> unop_: thanks for trying to help, but i just ran out of patience for this instance of this issue, and killed firefox.  now i can play oblivion again  :)
[15:54] <jrib> VistaHater: pitivi, kino
[15:54] <sparr_> VistaHater: cinellera
[15:54] <tim168> it says " if the text you see does not match, then you will need to look elsewhere for help"...so i look for help here: trying to get netgear WG511 card working, any help appreciated!
[15:55] <VistaHater> thanks folks
[15:55] <slowlearner> sparr_:  tol yah.
[15:55] <Scunizi> VistaHater, check out Lives! on www.getdeb.net..
[15:55] <slowlearner> sparr_:  told yah.
[15:55] <unop_> sparr_, well, if firefox has the sound device locked - it's not using aoss or not properly atleast
[15:55] <Froto> just letting anyone interested know, I fixed my desktop being uninstalled after uninstalling and reinstalling the alsa(i think) drivers, so there, I'm back up but still working on teh sound problem :D
[15:55] <Froto> thats a lot of ppl in here
[15:56] <tim168> my wireless card does not work, can anyone help? WG511, tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156228 is NOT applicable to my card
[15:57] <MrGnu> can u discuss this sound oprob froto
[15:57] <bazhang> only need six more ;]
[15:58] <Froto> sure, let me type it out
[15:59] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[15:59] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[16:00] <Froto> at first, .mov wouldnt play in firefox, so I mangaged to find out how to get it to play installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, but now, the sound is choppy and ppl sound like they are on helium
[16:00] <tim168> this sucks,soo predictable that wireless will not work after installing latest ubuntu, i HAD it working with the same card on an OLDER version of ubuntu, can anyone help please ? netgear WG511, i prefer not to spend the whole day reading long docs that end up nowhere
[16:00] <Stormx2> !mov | Froto
[16:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mov - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:00] <Stormx2> Hmm.
[16:01] <bazhang> tim168: what is the chipset of that card (not brand name)
[16:02] <tim168> bazhang: Atheros i think...
[16:02] <crazytalk> !bios
[16:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bios - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:02] <bazhang> tim168: 5006 or 5007
[16:03] <tim168> bazhang:  AR51212 is that possible (i read it from lspci)
[16:03] <tim168> ?
[16:03] <bazhang> tim168: hang on let me check
[16:03] <tim168> bazhang: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)
[16:03] <Froto> question, will I be able to upate my 7.10 to 8 when it comes out without doing a clean install?
[16:04] <DJones> Froto: Yes, thats normal, you'll get notification of a distribution upgrade
[16:05] <Froto> sweet
[16:06] <christophe> salut

[16:08] <bazhang> tim168: could you paste the output of ifconfig to pastebin please
[16:08] <lbc> hiya ; is there a known reason for gparted freezing when scanning disks on ubuntu liveCDs ?
[16:08] <tim168> bazhang: sure, just a moment
[16:08] <ZPertee> If I have ubuntu gutsy can I download a package designed for Hardy or how does that work?
[16:09] <bullium> Can add items to the gnome places menu
[16:09] <bazhang> ZPertee: better to either get the deb or wait for 8 days or so for release of hardy
[16:09] <Pici> bullium: Add them as bookmarks in a natilus window.
[16:10] <bullium> Pici: I was just about to try that :)
[16:10] <tim168> bazhang: http://www.pastebin.org/30180
[16:10] <bazhang> tim168: thanks looking now
[16:10] <ZPertee> bazhang, this is what I need http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libc-client2007 how do I get it
[16:11] <JPSman> How do I remove the exclusive privileges on a folder from one user to another (or all actually) ?
[16:11] <ZPertee> bazhang, supposedly only designed for hardy
[16:11] <bullium> Pici: that seemed to do the trick thank you
[16:11] <bazhang> ZPertee: you in a hurry? april 24th is right around the cornet ;]
[16:11] <tim168> bazhang: now i think of it, i am connected via wired ethernet, would that block the wifi maybe ?
[16:11] <kongove> hello
[16:11] <JPSman> How do I unlock folders?
[16:12] <ZPertee> bazhang, just trying to finish a project is all.  building from source kept failing so I figured I'd try something else
[16:12] <CartoonCat> Anyone know if there is a torrent for the livecd?
[16:12] <bazhang> tim168: does network manager show any wireless networks? or the option to configure wireless
[16:13] <tim168> bazhang: the option to configure yes
[16:14] <TwinX> CartoonCat; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[16:14] <bazhang> ZPertee: have some bad memories from libc6 (coming release) so best not to comment how stable or unstable that might be--that is certainly not the 'ubuntu way', but you probably know that already ;]
[16:14] <Sake> does ubuntu support ACL-type permission control on folders?
[16:14] <Nate> I've been having a large issue
[16:14] <Nate> I was trying to get flash player to work on my 64 bit computer
[16:14] <Nate> and eventually rebooted
[16:14] <bazhang> tim168: and what does it say when you try to configure?
[16:15] <JPSman> Sake: what does ACL- mean?
[16:15] <CartoonCat> Whay am I so blind sometimes?!
[16:15] <Nate> I had a bunch of display settings,
[16:15] <TwinX> CartoonCat;  lol
[16:15] <ompaul> JPSman,  access control list  is what it usually stands for
[16:15] <Nate> but when I rebooted I was told that ubuntu was running in 'low graphics mode'
[16:15] <Nate> which was lower resolution and had none of my old settings
[16:15] <tim168> bazhang: i try to enable it, and it just flips back to 'this connection is not configured' after closing and reopening network manager
[16:15] <CartoonCat> for what ever reason the google link i follwed always poped me to the bottom links, and didnt realize it was the livecd, thought it was the standard installer ,heh
[16:16] <Nate> furthermore, the login screen, which used to be in dvorak (I'm a dvorak typist) was now in qwerty
[16:16] <CartoonCat> ty ty TwinX
[16:16] <TwinX> CartoonCat; here's the torrent:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/
[16:16] <JPSman> ompaul: How can I change permissions on a folder from one user to another?
[16:16] <TwinX> np
[16:16] <Nate> my moniter resolution won't go above 800x600
[16:16] <Nate> and my appearance settings don't seem to work
[16:16] <bazhang> tim168: and opening the restricted drivers manager shows nothing for that card?
[16:16] <Nate> what the hell is going on here?
[16:17] <tim168> bazhang: actually yes, you're right, there is a restricted driver in use for Atheros !
[16:17] <bazhang> Nate:  what does cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf say about what driver you are using? (dont paste here just say)
[16:17] <ZPertee> bazhang, ok thanks!
[16:18] <bazhang> tim168: did you also install madwifi?
[16:18] <ehall> hi
[16:18] <tim168> bazhang: no what's that ?
[16:18] <Nate> which driver? The monitor is 'failsafe device'
[16:18] <ehall> wut is this
[16:18] <brunner> hi all
[16:18] <bazhang> tim168: the restricted driver says enabled and in use?
[16:19] <ompaul> JPSman, sudo chmod -R newusername:newusername /path/    << doing this to system files will break your machine
[16:19] <brunner> could someone tell me if this is correct syntax:
[16:19] <brunner> find /your/start/dir -name "whatever" -exec perl -i -wpe 's/$INPUT_TXT/$OUTPUT_TXT/g' {} \;
[16:19] <brunner> I want to do a global search and replace
[16:19] <tim168> bazhang: yes, enabled and in use, both Atheros and also another 'modem' thing...
[16:19] <mohi> how can I retrive my forgotten pgp pasphrase?
[16:19] <bazhang> Nate: what card is it? nvidia? ati? intel? or other
[16:19] <JPSman> ompaul: why do I have to write "newusername" twice?
[16:19] <Nate> nvidia geforce 6600
[16:20] <Nate> I have the driver and it used to be enabled
[16:20] <Nate> now when I try to go into 'restricted drivers' it won't let me
[16:20] <QuickGold> how do I disable eth1 on my box?
[16:20] <bazhang> Nate: and it no longer is?
[16:20] <Nate> "You need to install the package
[16:20] <Nate>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
[16:20] <Nate> for this program to work."
[16:20] <bazhang> tim168: try disabling it
[16:20] <bazhang> Nate: install them then
[16:20] <tim168> bazhang: ok (installing madwifi-tools now...)
[16:20] <Pici> JPSman: One is the username, the other is the group (which is the same text as the username in our cases)
[16:21] <peeps[work]> join #ubuntu+1
[16:21] <peeps[work]> doh
[16:21] <WorkingOnWis1> will someone with at least a 5Mbps dl speed please go to www.ubuntu.com, hit the dl link for hardy beta at the top of the page, and start the dl for the x86 iso, then tell me what your speed settles in to? I think Charter is throttleing my connections to several sites from the 10M I pay for down to 120k.
[16:21] <ompaul> JPSman, sorry that was chown in that command - you want to change the group as well to restrict access for more detailed info http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html
[16:21] <brunner> okay, how about this instead
[16:21] <bazhang> hang on WorkingOnWis1
[16:21] <logicslayer> I have a lexmark z605 with gutsy installed. The printer shows up in printers but when I go to print a test page it gives me a cups error.
[16:21] <brunner> what's the easiest way to do a global search and replace (all files in a directory and sub-directories)
[16:21] <Nate> bazhang: when I try to sudo apt-get install I get this:
[16:21] <Nate> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
[16:22] <Nate> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[16:22] <bazhang> Nate: okay, then run that command
[16:22] <noodlesgc> WorkingOnWis1 are you on ubuntu now? if so, install the axel program and type 'axel url' to download really fast
[16:22] <acomaco> _sparr, how do i save the file? :S
[16:22] <acomaco> and rotate it..
[16:23] <adam-ubuntu> hello all
[16:23] <Nate> bazhang: bunch of errors. Lemme paste it. One sec.
[16:23] <JPSman> ompaul: 'invalid mode 'bob:bob' '
[16:23] <bazhang> adam-ubuntu: formerly adam-mint?
[16:23] <LjL> noodlesgc: or aria2... tends to be a bit more stable
[16:24] <WorkingOnWis1> noodlesgc: thats not really my thing. If I pay for 10M, I dont really think a throttle or 128k is readonable....
[16:24] <WorkingOnWis1> reasonable

[16:25] <noodlesgc> GABBAR please discuss hardy issues in #ubuntu+1
[16:25] <GABBAR> k
[16:25] <JPSman> ompaul: heh "chown" heh k ill try it
[16:25] <WorkingOnWis1> hankin on bazhang. thanks.  :)
[16:26] <logicslayer> I have a lexmark z605 with gutsy installed. The printer shows up in printers but when I go to print a test page it gives me a cups error. Any ideas?
[16:26] <JPSman> ompaul: nope still says owner is jack
[16:26] <ompaul> JPSman, is the person able to run sudo that is trying to change the file names?
[16:26] <giantmidget> does anyone know of a good gui for rsync, or how a file manager could be made to use rsync for copying? (using rsync for copying files to an mp3-player, and im trying to achieve an easier way to do the transfer than the terminal)
[16:26] <Nate> when I try to sudo apt-get install anything, I get "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[16:26] <w0nder> what can I use to get widgets on my desktop? like vista has for weather, stocks, etc
[16:27] <noodlesgc> w0nder try gdesklets
[16:27] <Nate> and when I run dkpg --configure -a I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63431/
[16:27] <Nate> any ideas?
[16:27] <JPSman> ompaul: yeah - its my laptop.  I am controlling it through ethernet, and had to create a profile on there called Jack.
[16:28] <JPSman> ompaul: so I got root on both
[16:28] <bazhang> Nate: you are missing getopt? not even sure what that is--any weird repos or third party scripts you used lately
[16:28] <punzada> w0nder you can also try screenlets
[16:28] <ompaul> JPSman, well sudo chown -R jack:jack /path/to/files
[16:28] <bazhang> WorkingOnWis1: it is a very fast download for me
[16:29] <WorkingOnWis1> bazhang: over 500kbps?
[16:29] <Nate> bazhang: I was trying to get flash working on firefox, ran nspluginwrapper as someone here suggested
[16:29] <bazhang> WorkingOnWis1: 1.1MB
[16:29] <Nate> bazhang: had to reboot, got this.
[16:29] <bazhang> Nate: ah this is 64bit?
[16:30] <WorkingOnWis1> bazhang: thanks. Time to go lock horns with charter
[16:30] <jaym> how do i enable the mic in my usb webcam?
[16:30] <Nate> bazhang: yeah
[16:30] <jaym> its all detected but everything just detects linux microphone which doesnt work
[16:31] <bazhang> Nate: that is really odd; nsplugin should not affect that
[16:31] <brfitzp> hey guys, new to ubuntu, and i got what i hope is a minor problem
[16:31] <Nate> bazhang: I know. I also was running apt-get upgrade, but that shouldn't do this, should it?
[16:31] <bazhang> tim168: how goes the install of madwifi? did you disable the restricted driver for that card?
[16:32] <Nate> bazhang: I just installed ubuntu a few hours ago, I wouldn't loose anything if I reinstalled the OS, is there any easy way to do that?
[16:32] <bazhang> Nate: you were trying to install two things at the same time?
[16:32] <brfitzp> my windows partition wont boot anymore, says bootmgr is missing, fine, idc. But i want to be able to get my files off of windows and i cant get to them from linux
[16:32] <brfitzp> really just want my music
[16:33] <Nate> bazhang: no, I don't think so. I installed nswrapper, it still wasn't working, so I ran upgrade
[16:33] <noodlesgc> brfitzp does the partition show up when you open Places->Computer ?
[16:33] <brfitzp> http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=585
[16:33] <slowlearner> brfitzp: yes you can
[16:33] <Nate> bazhang: rebooted, got this.
[16:33] <jaym> how do i enable the mic in my usb webcam?
[16:33] <brfitzp> no it doesnt
[16:33] <balle_> i need some help getting sound out of my pc, music and stuff will play fine on the labtop speakers, but if i send it through the jack output nothing comes out, does anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
[16:33] <tim169> can anyone help me get wifi working ?
[16:33] <bazhang> Nate: how much ram you got? you do any heavy video compositing work?
[16:33] <slowlearner> brfitzp:   well did you try anything?
[16:33] <brfitzp> when i was on the live cd, g parted showed the windows partition with a ! next to it
[16:33] <brfitzp> T_T
[16:33] <brfitzp> and that guide
[16:33] <brfitzp> i tried it
[16:33] <brfitzp> but nothing
[16:33] <FloodBot1> brfitzp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:34] <Nate> bazhang: 1 gig, and no, not really
[16:34] <JPSman> ompaul: oh - it worked!  Thank you :OD
[16:34] <Nate> bazhang: I had just configured the basic compiz stuff -- 4 desktops on the cube, then I was trying to find out how to get flash working and how to get the mouse working
[16:34] <bazhang> Nate: I have a core2duo and 32bit is really fast on this; no real reason for 64bit at this point in time imo
[16:34] <ompaul> !enter | brfitzp
[16:34] <ubotu> brfitzp: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:34] <bazhang> 1337 nicks! ;]
[16:35] <brfitzp> k, sorry
[16:35] <Nate> bazhang: well, I'd rather not go get a new processor
[16:35] <slowlearner> brfitzp: so ubuntu isn't installed yet? youre on livecd?
[16:35] <malocite> is telnet server turned on by default in ubuntu?
[16:35] <punzada> unless you absolutely need the ram (for some type of hosting machine or something) 64 bit just isn't really the way to go, you cripple yourself with compatibility with too many things
[16:35] <brfitzp> no it is installed
[16:35] <simcop2387-lab> is there any way to temporarily prevent whatever is destroying my /etc/resolv.conf from doing so? i need different settings when my VPN is up and it keeps getting clobbered if i add them manually and i don't know what to do to prevent that
[16:35] <bazhang> Nate: not sure what you mean; 32bit ubuntu runs great on 64bit computers
[16:35] <Nate> bazhang: I really haven't done much yet: is there any way to 'reinstall' ubuntu?
[16:35] <Nate> bazhang: that would get me back to where I need to be
[16:35] <Pici> malocite: No, and ssh is highly reccomended over telnet.
[16:36] <slowlearner> malocite: telnet isn't a server(i think)
[16:36] <Pici> slowlearner: Yes, it can be.
[16:36] <jaym> how do i enable the mic in my usb webcam?
[16:36] <Nate> bazhang: ah, so I should install 32 bit ubuntu?
[16:36] <adam-ubuntu> can someone help me with my menu sizes, they are huge
[16:36] <slowlearner> Pici:  ok
[16:36] <Nate> bazhang: how do I go about switching over?
[16:36] <Pici> !telnet > malocite (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:36] <adam-ubuntu> i have intel chipset, video
[16:36] <adam-ubuntu> and need help
[16:37] <malocite> pici: thats what I use, I just want to be able to conenct from work to my home computer and I wanted to make sure telnet was OFF so that no one could try and use telnet, I want to ssh
[16:37] <bazhang> Nate: you just download the 32bit ubuntu and isntall
[16:37] <brfitzp> ubuntu is the only OS that still works and i just want the files off my windows one somehow
[16:37] <noodlesgc> adam-ubuntu whats the problem
[16:37] <arvind_khadri> yelp is crashing ....
[16:37] <Pici> malocite: Good ;), telnet is not installed by default.
[16:37] <bazhang> brfitzp: windows can likely be saved if you wish
[16:37] <adam-ubuntu> the problem is that my menu fonts are huge, along with when i log in, the input line is huge
[16:37] <Nate> bazhang: thanks
[16:37] <hischild> noodlesgc, me thinks resolutions for him
[16:37] <slowlearner> brfitzp: boot to  ubuntu and mount your windows partition from there
[16:37] <malocite> pici: good, how do I change the default ssh port to prevent brute force hack attempts
[16:38] <arvind_khadri> yelp is crashing ....any help :)
[16:38] <hischild> !repeat | arvind_khadri
[16:38] <ubotu> arvind_khadri: 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
[16:38] <adam-ubuntu> i think its my video driver, i have an intel 945 chipset
[16:38] <brfitzp> im on ubuntu now, how would i go about mounting the partition?
[16:38] <Pici> malocite: You'd need to look into the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file I'm not sure what the exact syntax is, but it should be self evident.
[16:38] <noodlesgc> adam-ubuntu do you know what your screen resolution is?
[16:38] <adam-ubuntu> 1280x800
[16:39] <malocite> pici: thanks, in there now
[16:39] <bazhang> tim168: you still around?
[16:39] <tim168> can anyone help me get wifi working? (WG511T with Atheros chipset)
[16:39] <tim168> bazhang: yes :)
[16:39] <bazhang> tim168: you disabled the restricted driver?
[16:39] <noodlesgc> adam-ubuntu go to Preferences->Appearences->Fonts
[16:39] <hischild> adam-ubuntu, is that the resolution you want or the resolution you have?
[16:39] <tim168> bazhang: still no luck, i disabled the restricted driver, rebooted
[16:40] <adam-ubuntu> i have the resolution i want
[16:40] <malocite> pici: Just read the whole file... its the FIRST line :)  probably should have noticed that hehe
[16:40] <bazhang> tim168: does ifconfig still show only two entries eth0 and lo?
[16:40] <balle_> i need some help getting sound out of my pc, music and stuff will play fine on the labtop speakers, but if i send it through the jack output nothing comes out, does anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
[16:40] <adam-ubuntu> but the x is huge up in the right top corner
[16:40] <logicslayer> Nevermind I think I may have found a fix.
[16:40] <tim168> bazhang: yes only eth0 and lo
[16:40] <DJones> malocite: there's a line in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file that says "Port 22", you can change that port reference as needed, just make sure your router also knows to forward that port instead of port 22

[16:52] <tim168> bazhang, well i did get it working before on edgy, but probably a lucky shot and i dont remember exactly how...
[16:52] <odder> tim1, Pici: she used English if you're not having been looking into the conversation.
[16:52] <Myrtti> odder: and you're supposed to be polite
[16:52] <Myrtti> odder: no matter what
[16:52] <malocite> how do you restart sshd?  I can't find it in /etc/init.d
[16:52] <Pici> My sentiments exactly.
[16:52] <nownot> ??
[16:52] <Keithamus> I did lscpi | grep eth and got "Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit  Ethernet controller (rev 01)"

[16:53] <fevel> is it possible to set up a cyber cafe manager using ubuntu as a server? can anyone point me on material about it for me to read?

[16:53] <odder> but okay, my fault, I shouldn't have done like that. Okay?
[16:53] <tim1> odder: Ok. Thanks. :)
[16:53] <Myrtti> odder: just so you know next time
[16:54] <hischild> would it be possible to use a here document which has no user/group/others read rights containing a password?

[16:54] <brfitzp> is utorrent a ubuntu program?
[16:54] <ikonia> malocite: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[16:54] <bazhang> tim168: this is internal card or pcmcia card or usb card
[16:54] <odder> Myrtti: I do know. But if somebody gets many warnings and keeps spamming, I don't like that.

[16:54] <brfitzp> like what?
[16:55] <Flare183> brfitzp: like transmission
[16:55] <tim1> Keithamus: Uh, I have no idea. Perhaps ifconfig will print the current subnet.
[16:55] <flavorjone1> dude
[16:55] <brfitzp> k thanks, sorry guys i just realized the time i gtg
[16:55] <odder> brfitzp: it's a Windows program. You can probably use BitTorrent client
[16:55] <Keithamus> both on 255.255.255.0
[16:55] <Flare183> np
[16:55] <malocite> ikonia: I tried that, it says no such file or directory
[16:55] <bazhang> transmission, deluge azureus ktorrent and on and on eve a cli one (rtorrent) brfitzp
[16:55] <brfitzp> thanks for the help
[16:55] <ikonia> malocite: dpkg -l | grep ssh
[16:55] <odder> !torrent | brfitzp
[16:55] <ubotu> brfitzp: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[16:55] <tim1> Keithamus: Mh, that should be the default. Maybe it's a problem with your router's configuration?
[16:55] <malocite> ikonia: That will reinstall it right?
[16:55] <hischild> brfitzp, and even torrentflux which is webbased
[16:55] <ikonia> malocite: no, that will show me what packages are installed
[16:56] <malocite> ikonia: Gotcha, just rebooting that box, i'll tell you in a sec, thanks
[16:56] <ikonia> malocite: ok
[16:56] <HairyDude> I just compiled a custom kernel module for my webcam. How do I arrange to have it insmod'd at boot? (this is gutsy fwiw)
[16:56] <ikonia> malocite: the reboot will restart ssh
[16:56] <malocite> ikonia: I know :)
[16:56] <malocite> ikonia: But now I want to know why the other thing didn't work
[16:56] <Keithamus> tim1; my router is configured how I configured all my other computers, 1 winxp, 1 vista, 1 ubuntu hardy, 1 wii, and this (mythbuntu) machine. Mythbuntu is the only one which doesnt work.
[16:56] <ikonia> malocite: we can but see
[16:57] <ikonia> HairyDude: drop it in your kernel tree, and depmod it or use the modules.conf file
[16:57] <malocite> Keithamus: Whats happening to it?  I use mythbuntu
[16:57] <malocite> Keithamus: Among other thigns :)
[16:57] <tim1> Keithamus: Do the other computers have access outside the network (e.g. Google)? How are them connected? Via LAN?
[16:57] <Zeraym> nickel !
[16:57] <Keithamus> malocite, i just cant get internet, but I can ping other clients on the lan.
[16:57] <Zeraym> premiere fois que je suis ici
[16:57] <ikonia> Keithamus: your gateway or dns servers will most likley be wrong
[16:57] <j03> Hey
[16:57] <ikonia> Keithamus: are you serving up the ip/dns/gateway via dhcp ?
[16:57] <XB23> guys how can i find the date i installed ubuntu
[16:57] <fred__> Salut
[16:57] <malocite> Keithamus: Did you disable the firewall on mythbuntu?
[16:57] <XB23> does it log it anywhere
[16:58] <Keithamus> ikonia, checked gateway and dns, and they are fine.
[16:58] <ikonia> XB23: look at the time stamp on files ?
[16:58] <Zeraym> y'a des francais aussi ?
[16:58] <XB23> what files though
[16:58] <Keithamus> malocite, how do i do that please?
[16:58] <ikonia> Keithamus: what happens when you do an "nslookup"
[16:58] <malocite> Keithamus: Or go into NETWORK settings and make sure that dhcp is selected (or however you get your addresses)
[16:58] <odder> !fr | Zeraym
[16:58] <ubotu> Zeraym: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[16:58] <Keithamus> I get ">"
[16:58] <ikonia> XB23: ls -la /boot
[16:58] <ikonia> XB23: look at .
[16:58] <Keithamus> malocite, its on DHCP now.
[16:58] <malocite> Keithamus: I think firestarter STOP (I think.... can someone confirm that for me)
[16:58] <Zeraym> OK !!!
[16:58] <tushyd> anyone know why when I run amarok it sucks up most of my cpu? (2.4ghz core2duo)
[16:58] <ikonia> Keithamus: what error do you get when you do an nslookup
[16:59] <Zeraym> mais j'ai pas besoin d'aide tout marche nickel jvien juste pour deconner ^^
[16:59] <Keithamus> how do I do one ikonia?
[16:59] <XB23> ty
[16:59] <Zeraym> mais comme jsuis tombé sur le chat d'aide je vais m'en aller
[16:59] <Pici> Zeraym: /j #ubuntu-fr
[16:59] <odder> :/
[16:59] <Myrtti> Zeraym: this channel is English language only
[16:59] <j03> P.S.
[16:59] <j03> uname -a
[16:59] <ikonia> Keithamus: on the command line type "nslookup" you should either get a > prompt or an error
[16:59] <j03> will tell you
[16:59] <XB23> it dosent
[16:59] <Keithamus> I get a > prompt
[16:59] <ikonia> j03: will tell you what
[16:59] <malocite> Keithamus: Go to the terminal and type nslookup
[16:59] <tim168> bazhang: any more ideas ? maybe its easier and cheaper (timewise) to just go bui a card that is known to work...
[16:59] <XB23> thats kernel compile date isnt it
[16:59] <vikram_> I still get a DVD scrambled erro
[16:59] <vikram_> can anyone help we with that
[16:59] <ikonia> Keithamus: ok, type www.google.com into that prompt
[16:59] <Pici> !who | j03
[16:59] <ubotu> j03: 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 :)
[16:59] <tim1> ikonia: Good idea. If you open a website by its IP, the DNS server will not look up the IP. Correct? Maybe Keithamus should try this.
[17:00] <ikonia> tim1: one thing at a time
[17:00] <malocite> ikonia: I just locked myself out of my own ssh server :)
[17:00] <tim1> ikonia: Sorry.
[17:00] <ikonia> malocite: oh dear
[17:00] <vikram_> haha
[17:00] <HairyDude> ikonia: kernel tree?
[17:00] <ikonia> malocite: looks like there was something serious
[17:00] <malocite> ikonia: I suck :)  but I'm learning
[17:00] <Keithamus> ";; connection times out; no servers could be reached"
[17:00] <zappy> when does ubuntu come off?
[17:00] <ikonia> malocite: everyone learns
[17:00] <bazhang> tim168: this is an internal card a usb one or other
[17:00] <ikonia> Keithamus: ok - so it can't get to your router
[17:00] <mozillamonks> How can I kill all processes a given UID has?
[17:00] <Keithamus> yeah
[17:00] <tim1> Keithamus: What does 'ping google.com' say?
[17:00] <ikonia> Keithamus: can it ping your router
[17:00] <j03> Sorry - uname -a will tell you the install date
[17:00] <ikonia> tim1: he can't hit a dns server, it's not going to resolve google.com
[17:00] <Keithamus> 100% fail if I ping router, or google.com
[17:01] <ikonia> j03: no it won't
[17:01] <ikonia> Keithamus: right
[17:01] <j03> yes it will.
[17:01] <tim1> ikonia: Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks.
[17:01] <ikonia> Keithamus: so what is the router address
[17:01] <ikonia> j03: no it won't
[17:01] <Keithamus> 100% success if i ping my winxp machine, or any other machine on the network
[17:01] <Keithamus> router address is 192.168.0.1
[17:01] <ikonia> Keithamus: thats not what I asked
[17:01] <j03> It does for me!
[17:01] <ikonia> j03: show me
[17:01] <j03> Linux j03b0x 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:01] <tushyd> anyone know why when I run amarok it sucks up most of my cpu? (2.4ghz core2duo)
[17:01] <j03> OK
[17:01] <j03> Hang On
[17:01] <ikonia> j03: thats the date that kernel was compiled
[17:02] <j03> I will hang myself.
[17:02] <Pici> j03: Thats the date of the kernel build, not the install date
[17:02] <j03> Yeah
[17:02] <j03> Sorry
[17:02] <FloodBot1> j03: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:02] <j03> Haha
[17:02] <malocite> ikonia: maybe I didn't whats the right command line to connect to an ssh server including port number
[17:02] <HairyDude> seems the best way is to put something in /etc/modules, but where does whatever it is that uses it look for these modules?
[17:02] <Keithamus> sorry ikonia, have I missed any of your questions yet?
[17:02] <fevel> How can I control a cyber cafe using ubuntu? Is there any package that does that or any local tool?
[17:02] <ikonia> malocite: ssh user@host
[17:02] <w0nder> I don't see screenlets in synaptic
[17:02] <j03> I will go die now. BRB
[17:02] <ikonia> Keithamus: so you can't ping the gateway ip address at all
[17:02] <Keithamus> no
[17:02] <tim168> bazhang:  sorry looked over your post: it's a pcmcia card
[17:02] <ikonia> Keithamus: can you please show me netstat -rn
[17:02] <Keithamus> Destination host unreachable.
[17:03] <bazhang> http://www.screenlets.org/ here you go w0nder
[17:03] <w0nder> bazhang: thx
[17:03] <Keithamus> 192.168.0.0 gateway 0.0.0.0, genmask 255.255.255.0, flags U, iface eth0
[17:03] <tim1> Zeraym: Non, mais je parle un peu.
[17:03] <ikonia> Keithamus: there you go, your gateway is wrong
[17:03] <ikonia> ooops
[17:04] <malocite> ikonia: is it ssh 192.168.1.101:PORTNUMBER ?
[17:04] <Keithamus> ikonia, there are three others.
[17:04] <ikonia> Keithamus: no, sorry, my mistake
[17:04] <ikonia> Keithamus: show me the rest
[17:04] <Keithamus> k

[17:05] <bazhang> tim168: okay; those are tough to get working though with that chipset should just work--could you paste bin the output of lsmod
[17:05] <malocite> ikonia: Yaaay, that did it :)
[17:05] <Keithamus> thats all of them ikonia
[17:05] <tim1> Pici: I know but he was just asking in French. Perhaps he wouldn't have understood me, if I had spoken English.
[17:05] <adam_> how do i reconfigure my xorg?
[17:05] <ikonia> Keithamus: that looks quite reasonable
[17:05] <ikonia> Keithamus: what is your current ip address
[17:05] <Keithamus> 192.168.0.105
[17:05] <komputes> does anyone know what file is modified when turning on/off remote desktop?
[17:05] <Pici> tim1: The person was already advised that this channel was english only
[17:06] <Keithamus> 5th machine in my router lineup, all have 192.168.0.10x
[17:06] <magasix> Ola
[17:06] <adam_> how do i reconfigure xorg?
[17:06] <ikonia> Keithamus: and it can ping say 104 but not the gateway of .1
[17:06] <tim1> Pici: Ok, I didn't know this. I'm sorry.
[17:06] <bazhang> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg adam_
[17:06] <Keithamus> yup
[17:06] <Pici> tim1: :)
[17:06] <adam_> bazhang, thank you

[17:06] <ikonia> Keithamus: is this connected via cable or wirless ?
[17:06] <Keithamus> cable.
[17:07] <HairyDude> ikonia: put the module in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic and add its name to /etc/modules ?
[17:07] <ikonia> Keithamus: ok, so to summerise, your gateway, ip and dns servers all look fine, you can hit other machines on your network, but not the gateway
[17:07] <ikonia> HairyDude: yup
[17:07] <tim1> crazytalk: I think it's /etc/init.d/gdm. I don't have GDM installed, so I use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
[17:07] <HairyDude> thanks
[17:07] <Keithamus> Sounds pretty accurate ikonia.
[17:08] <ikonia> Keithamus: thats most odd, a moment please while I ponder that
[17:08] <Keithamus> ok
[17:08] <HairyDude> hrm, not sure where exactly to put it though
[17:08] <l23twire> can anyone tell me how fast by website is? http://www.l33twire.net/
[17:08] <l23twire> my*
[17:09] <bazhang> l23twire: what does that have to with ubuntu support?
[17:09] <tim1> 123twire: What do you mean? req/s, response time, ...?
[17:09] <tim1> bazhang: Free advertising. :)
[17:10] <n00b_^^> yeah
[17:10] <n00b_^^> too true
[17:10] <l23twire> no.. :(
[17:10] <HairyDude> ah, probably kernel/drivers/video
[17:10] <bazhang> wrong channel
[17:10] <ikonia> HairyDude: make your own directy
[17:10] <tim1> l23twire: so what?
[17:10] <HairyDude> ikonia: own what?
[17:10] <l23twire> i been making for weeks i just dont have someone or a friend to tell me how fast it loads..
[17:10] <l23twire> because i added too much stuff to it.

[17:11] <ikonia> Keithamus: ok, can you humour me in a pointless test, I just want to see how your ubuntu box behaves ?
[17:11] <l23twire> aww.. :(
[17:11] <Keithamus> ok fire away
[17:11] <ikonia> Keithamus: can you change your ip address to .98 on the ubuntu box ?
[17:11] <vi390> how can I make a global route, which gives domain.tld/value1  (if no controller is matched)
[17:11] <tim168> bazhang: sorry had to reboot
[17:11] <tim1> l23twire: Ok, but that's no reason to make advertising here. It's a Ubuntu channel. :)
[17:11] <ikonia> vi390: as in dns domain ?

[17:13] <ikonia> thank you
[17:13] <tim1> hacker94: Please speak proper English here. It's hard for me to understand this.
[17:13] <Keithamus> ikonia, did that, and pinged the router and this machine Im talking on. Behaved the same as before.
[17:13] <ikonia> Keithamus: you'll have to restart your networking
[17:13] <Keithamus> oh do you think?
[17:13] <ikonia> Keithamus: yes as your route will have changed ;)
[17:13] <Keithamus> ok, well brb then.
[17:14] <adam_> bazhang, thank you
[17:14] <adam_> bazhang, had to bios hack it with 915 resolution
[17:14] <chuy> sup room, Hardy Beta user here who is experiencing frequent compiz-real high cpu utilization which cause the system to lock up
[17:15] <HairyDude> ah, video *input* should be in drivers/media
[17:15] <ikonia> chuy: ubuntu+1 is the correct channel
[17:15] <chuy> sorry
[17:15] <chuy> thank you for that
[17:15] <bazhang> tim168: I suspect that the ath_hal for that card is not the right one; had to go through the same with my eeepc--means one of two things; either compile the latest madwifi or try ndiswrapper with that card
[17:15] <fevel> is it possible to see how much internet connection bandwidth ive used in a given time?
[17:15] <bazhang> adam_: you got it working?
[17:16] <crazytalk> !best
[17:16] <ubotu> 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.
[17:16] <Keithabuse> ikonia, same behavior has before.
[17:17] <ikonia> Keithabuse: ok, can it still ping the XP box
[17:17] <tim168> bazhang: ndiswrapper was what worked before (edgy) so i guess ill try that...i have the windows driver for the card, but its in a windows exe file...i should be able to extract it somehow, right ?
[17:17] <Keithabuse> yup
[17:17] <lesshaste> it seems firefox can't render http://www.gharrow.com/ properly. Nothing happens when you hover over the options. Works ok in opera for example
[17:17] <ikonia> Keithabuse: ok, pondering
[17:18] <Keithabuse> its mythbuntu 8.04 by the way, if that makes a difference.
[17:18] <adam_> bazhang, yep had to bios hack it... with 915resolution command
[17:18] <Abhay> is there any way to talk using gtalk
[17:18] <ikonia> Keithabuse: shouldn't do, but you'll get better support in #ubuntu+1 as it's the beta product
[17:19] <bazhang> tim168: I am a bit at sea when it comes to that; cabextract comes to mind but I may be off here
[17:19] <mathias__> Ive managed to install screen, but how do I "save" a session? I thought it was just ctrl+alt+d?
[17:19] <adam_> bazhang, now to find a way to port medibuntu...
[17:20] <tim168> bazhang: i can transfer the exe to a windows machine and do it there...
[17:20] <bazhang> adam_: not sure what you are referring to; what is wrong with the medibuntu now?
[17:20] <adam_> bazhang, i dont have it.. i have a basic install of ubuntu
[17:20] <adam_> bazhang, need libdvdcss, codec packs, etc
[17:21] <bazhang> tim168: you might ask folks here if cabextract can extract stuff from that exe; this is just a guess on my part however
[17:21] <crispy--> why must flash use so much cpu power in firefox and even swiftfox ;<
[17:21] <erUSUL> crispy--: ask adobe
[17:21] <lesshaste> it seems firefox can't render http://www.gharrow.com/ properly. Nothing happens when you hover over the options. Works ok in opera for example
[17:21] <bazhang> adam_: ubuntu-restricted-extras is what you want; the other two (libdvdcss2 and win32codecs) have debs on medibuntu's site
[17:22] <adam_> bazhang, thanks
[17:22] <tim168> bazhang: already firing up old windoze machine...
[17:22] <tim1> crispy--: You can use Gnash. I prefer w3m. Those sites using Flash are stupid.
[17:22] <komputes> how can i follow live changed to the hard disk?
[17:22] <bazhang> tim168: okay; sorry not to know more about ndiswrapper here
[17:22] <komputes> changes *
[17:22] <benanzo> I have a script I want to run from cron but it wont run.  If I replace the command line in my crontab to something like "touch $HOME/crontest" it works -- where do I go to debug why my script wont run?
[17:23] <benanzo> is there a cron log?
[17:23] <bazhang> komputes: could you clarify a bit please?
[17:23] <komputes> bazhang: I want to see all files which are being modified as they are saved
[17:23] <Jeruvy> benanzo: did you look in /var/logs ?
[17:24] <benanzo> Yes but I don't see anything related to cron
[17:24] <komputes> bazhang: clearly, all changes to the hard disk drive (all files) in a console window
[17:24] <bazhang> komputes: the point of this being what?
[17:24] <adam_> how do i tell which version of ubuntu i am running?
[17:24] <erUSUL> !version
[17:24] <PNWborg> I am a version 1.1.0 PyBorg
[17:24] <komputes> bazhang: following the changes to files
[17:24] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[17:24] <bazhang> adam_: lsb_release -a in the terminal
[17:24] <Yazan`> j #rohitab
[17:24] <Yazan`> ops
[17:25] <benanzo> Wait I think cron logs in syslog
[17:25] <adam_> thankjs
[17:25] <komputes> bazhang: you make a change in a program, but you don't know what file was changed on the system, this will be quicker than a diff to determine what file was changed
[17:25] <bazhang> PNWborg: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[17:25] <Yazan`> Hey guys, I want to dual-boot windows and ubuntu together, how can i go on about doing that?
[17:25] <d1nker> can you create a file share with likewise open or do you still need samba?
[17:25] <erUSUL> komputes: look up "filemon" in google is a very recent program so may be hard to set up
[17:25] <Zelta> Yazan`: Just install Ubuntu on a different partition than Windows
[17:26] <fevel> how can I know what time a user logged in and what time he logged off?
[17:26] <Zelta> Yazan`: The Ubuntu installer walks you through it
[17:26] <bazhang> Yazan`: install xp first, ubuntu will pick it up and the installer will allow you to resize while protecting xp and adding it to grub
[17:26] <rlanham> I was in the middle of an apt-get upgrade and SSH timed out, is there way to view the status?
[17:26] <komputes> erUSUL: thanks
[17:26] <Yazan`> Zelta: make a new partition in the setup window, something like S: ?
[17:26] <Zelta> No.
[17:26] <komputes> erUSUL: actually i remeber using a program once called fsmon or ntfsmon something like that
[17:26] <Zelta> Yazan`: Once Window is installed, put in the Ubuntu LiveCD and just hit "Install"
[17:27] <rlanham> or should I just kill apt
[17:27] <erUSUL> komputes: sorry not filemon but mortadelo
[17:27] <Danish989> Hi all
[17:27] <rlanham> and re-run
[17:27] <Zelta> Then you can resize the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu
[17:27] <erUSUL> komputes: http://lwn.net/Articles/271796/
[17:27] <Oprtz> when i play a video file, it says " Totem could not play 'file:///media/disk-1/Sword Fish/Cd 2.DAT'. there is no plug in to handle this file "
[17:27] <XB23> ubuntu live cd
[17:27] <XB23> its very slow
[17:27] <XB23> takes like an hour to load
[17:27] <XB23> lol
[17:28] <FloodBot1> XB23: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:28] <Danish989> I'm having a problem with GRUB loader because I have 2 SATA hard disks ... how can I fix this problem?
[17:28] <rlanham> so theres no way to view the status of apt-get if it SSH times out?
[17:28] <Danish989> xb23: the live cd is considerably slow because it's running everything from the cd
[17:28] <bazhang> Oprtz: where did you get a dat file?
[17:28] <XB23> i know Danish989
[17:28] <XB23> im not knocking it, ubuntu is the only OS to do it, thats quiet an achievement :)
[17:28] <tim1> Oprtz: What's a .dat file?
[17:29] <Danish989> Does anyone else have a problem with GRUB loader because of SATA hard disks?
[17:29] <Yazan`> Zelta: Oh, i get you. In the setup window it asks if you want to create a new partition, so i do that and then install it, right?
[17:29] <Oprtz> tim1: yes
[17:29] <bazhang> XB23: there are many many livecds not only ubuntu
[17:29] <Lord_Andrew6> hi
[17:29] <Zelta> Yeah, Yazan` (I assume you mean the Ubuntu install window?)
[17:29] <Danish989> bazhang: even for other OSs? (other than linux) ?
[17:29] <Yazan`> Zelta: Yes
[17:29] <Lord_Andrew6> i'm trying to install a nova hd-s2 on ubuntu
[17:29] <Yazan`> Zelta: How much space does it take?
[17:29] <crazytalk> when choosing between software packages should i select clients that are text bases so i can access them remotely easier, e.g. i'm not at home but i want my home pc to start downloading a torrent
[17:29] <Oprtz> tim1: i am using Totem Movie Player
[17:29] <Zelta> It can be installed in 2 GB
[17:30] <Zelta> But I'd give it as much as you need
[17:30] <Yazan`> Zelta: Great, thanks.
[17:30] <Lord_Andrew6> can anybody help me with this
[17:30] <tim1> Oprtz: The question wasn't whether it is a .dat file but what a .dat file is. Have you tried mplayer?
[17:30] <Zelta> Yazan`: Wait
[17:30] <adam_> is there a great alternative to kopete?
[17:30] <bazhang> Oprtz: where did you get a dat file from?
[17:30] <Yazan`> Zelta: ?
[17:30] <rlanham> is there a servers channel where I can some more detailed help
[17:30] <bullgard4> Danish989: GRUB can cope with two SATA hard disks. What error message do you obtain?
[17:30] <J311YF15H> hey people,could you please tell me,how can i copy from one folder,to another,with terminal
[17:30] <Zelta> If you install it on only 2GB you will have barely any room to store files
[17:30] <adam_> !kopete
[17:30] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) is supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Pidgin
[17:30] <Zelta> Do you plan on using Windows or Ubuntu more, Kazan`?
[17:30] <Yazan`> Zelta: Nope, I will give it as much space as it wants. There is like 10GB space for it.
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> J311YF15H,   cp
[17:31] <Zelta> ah
[17:31] <J311YF15H> thanks
[17:31] <bazhang> adam_: pidgin has fans as well
[17:31] <Oprtz> tim1: its a video file, yes i cheked with movie player and same error,
[17:31] <adam_> my kopete keeps crashing
[17:31] <Yazan`> Zelta: Will it ask me like if I want it to be 2GB or more??
[17:31] <Zelta> Yes
[17:31] <Zelta> There is a graphical resizer
[17:32] <adam_> thanks alot all
[17:32] <rlanham> I was in the middle of an apt-get upgrade and SSH timed out, is there way to view the status?
[17:32] <Yazan`> Zelta: Best size is??? 6GB?
[17:32] <simplexio> rlanham: its dead
[17:32] <Zelta> Best size is however much you want to give it
[17:32] <Zelta> How big is your HD?
[17:33] <simplexio> rlanham: that why you should allways start programs to screen when using ssh
[17:33] <Yazan`> Zelta: 10 GB left
[17:33] <Zelta> Yazan`: Use it all?
[17:33] <Yazan`> Zelta: 15GB*
[17:33] <rlanham> simplexio: how would I do that?
[17:33] <Yazan`> Zelta: But then, if i wanted to install applications on windows, will it work??? or will it give me an error saying that there is no more space?
[17:33] <ProProductions> Afternoon all :)
[17:33] <Zelta> Yazan`: How big is your HD?
[17:34] <ProProductions> hmm I need to kill join messages
[17:34] <Zelta> ProProductions: ?
[17:34] <ProProductions> hmm I dunno how to do it in this
[17:34] <ProProductions> anyway
[17:34] <gokorn> i have ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 z 256MB, what driver should i chouse from the list?
[17:34] <Yazan`> Zelta: You mean the free space left on my pc or alltogether?
[17:35] <Zelta> Altogether
[17:35] <Yazan`> 40
[17:35] <Yazan`> 36GB
[17:35] <Yazan`> I think
[17:35] <ProProductions> just got Ubuntu installed and I cant play media files from my NAS unit with VLC
[17:35] <Yazan`> Yeah, 36GB
[17:35] <AlphaOmega> when i do dmesg, its jsut 1000 lines of vmware warnings,  how do i tell what hard drives i have attached to this mb?
[17:35] <NiXon_> #aga =) õàé
[17:36] <Kinetic> AlphaOmega pipe it to grep
[17:36] <Yazan`> Zelta: So, shall I give it 7GB?
[17:37] <crazytalk> when choosing between software packages should i select clients that are text bases so i can access them  remotely easier, e.g. i'm not at home but i want my home pc to start downloading a torrent
[17:37] <Zelta> Yazan`: Like I said, however much you want Ubuntu to use... if you feel like you aren't going to download a lot of stuff, go small; if you want to put more stuff on it, make it larger
[17:37] <crazytalk> ?
[17:37] <crazytalk> s/bases/based
[17:37] <AlphaOmega> Kinetic: dmesg | grep ?
[17:37] <Yazan`> Zelta: Thanks :)
[17:38] <Zelta> sure
[17:38] <AlphaOmega> how do i grep for something that isnt there?
[17:38] <aba-> grep -v
[17:38] <steve__> how can i check what driver my ubuntu is running for my ethernet card?
[17:38] <AlphaOmega> ok, maybe this will explain my problem better:
[17:39] <AlphaOmega> # dmesg | grep -v vmmon | wc -l
[17:39] <AlphaOmega> 0
[17:39] <AlphaOmega> now how do i tell whats attached to my machine inthis state?
[17:39] <tim168> bazhang: installed the windows driver using ndisgtk, it said 'hardware present: Yes', but still it doesnt work...
[17:39] <nownot> how do i tell if i have gusty or fiesty
[17:39] <Pici> nownot: lsb_release -a
[17:39] <tim168> bazhang: ifconfig still gives only eth0 and lo
[17:40] <steve__> nownot: go to system then about ubuntu
[17:40] <tim168> bazhang: wow, oops, i was so wrong, i installed wlassistant and all of a sudden it just works ! thanks for your help anyway ! :)
[17:41] <roger_that_gorax> hello,  i turned on Annotate and i can't turn it off.  i restarted the computer and it didn't fix it, i cant click on anything.
[17:41] <steve__> how can i tell what driver my ubuntu is using for my ethernet card?
[17:41] <roger_that_gorax> how do i get back my clicking back.
[17:42] <AlphaOmega> steve__: ifconfig
[17:43] <aba-> dmesg |grep eth will explain driver details, eh
[17:43] <versan> AlphaOmega: I dont think ifconfig gives information related to drivers
[17:43] <AlphaOmega> eth0 ?
[17:44] <AlphaOmega> i found my answer by looking in cat /var/log/dmesg btw
[17:45] <bazhang> tim168 you got it working? nicely done ;]
[17:45] <steve__> none of those told me my driver info
[17:46] <Otto1000> hi
[17:46] <Otto1000> hallo
[17:46] <versan> steve__: dmesg | grep eth should give information about eth drivers
[17:46] <Otto1000> jemand hier?
[17:46] <bazhang> steve__: what is the chipset for that
[17:46] <mauri> -
[17:46] <versan> steve__: what does the command output?
[17:47] <gokorn> how to update drivers for graphic card
[17:47] <gokorn> ?
[17:47] <Otto1000> do you speak german?
[17:47] <lordleemo> Otto1000: probieren in #ubunte-de mein freund

[17:50] <crazytalk> when choosing between software packages should i select clients that are text bases so i can access them  remotely easier, e.g. i'm not at home but i want my home pc to start downloading a torrent
[17:50] <crazytalk> ?
[17:51] <Harold> laszy
[17:51] <Flare183> crazytalk: ssh i your best bet
[17:51] <Flare183> not lazy
[17:51] <danbrownlow> crazytalk: Why don't you just remote connect or connect over VNC to your computer?
[17:51] <kusanagi_> after a whole evening trying to install my P4M900 via integred graphics card... with support for 3d with no success ive decided to buy a new one... what kind of 3d card are the best for linux? (i mean best supported :_))
[17:52] <danbrownlow> nVIDIA cards.. Have you tried using envy?
[17:52] <sipior> kraut: i believe you'll want to have a look at the "Manage" section of the manpage of mdadm
[17:52] <ProProductions> OK so here is my problem so far, how the heck do I get my NAS to show as a local folder?
[17:52] <Flare183> !hcl | danbrownlow
[17:52] <ubotu> danbrownlow: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[17:52] <erUSUL> !envy | danbrownlow
[17:52] <ubotu> danbrownlow: 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 »
[17:52] <kraut> sipior: i know mdadm, forget it
[17:52] <crazytalk> Flare183, danbrownlow: i am a novice but i'm just wondering if this should be a factor when choosing as i will be selecting alot of linux software for the first time
[17:52] <roger_that_gorax> when i try to scroll down the window it grabs the window and moves it around how do i turn this off?
[17:53] <sipior> nice chap
[17:53] <Flare183> ok
[17:53] <danbrownlow> Ok, ubotu may not recommend. It's saved me a lot of trouble a few times though and I have nothing bad to say about it, just be careful =]
[17:53] <kusanagi_> nvidia are the best for linux? ill go buy one :) ty
[17:53] <sipior> ProProductions: does your NAS grok nfs?
[17:53] <sipior> ProProductions: that would be best
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !worksforme > danbrownlow
[17:53] <Flare183> yeah I agree with danbrownlow but I use ATI
[17:54] <ProProductions> its actually runnin on a linux core anyway, but its networking using SMB
[17:54]  * Flare183 nods
[17:54] <kusanagi_> im gonna buy the cheapest one
[17:54] <kusanagi_> just so i can run alien arena and stuff
[17:54] <Danish989> has anyone else had problems with the GRUB Loader because of SATA hard disks?
[17:54] <sipior> ProProductions: ah, then you'll need to look into samba
[17:54] <Danish989> I have 2 sata hard disks installed, and dmsuperman (someone I met here) told me he had the same problem because he had 2 sata hard disks installed too
[17:55] <Flare183> !samba > sipior
[17:55] <Flare183> oops
[17:55] <ProProductions> the nas has samba if that makes a diff
[17:55] <Flare183> !samba > ProProductions
[17:55] <khamael> does anybody know how to get a microdia webcam to work in gutsy? the trial version won`t modprobe, and the open-source doesn`t work
[17:55] <sipior> Flare183: read carefully...
[17:55] <Flare183> there
[17:55] <danbrownlow> crazytalk: I believe this to be a good way of accesing software http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html
[17:55] <Flare183> sorry sipior
[17:55] <Danish989> nobody?
[17:55] <danbrownlow> Danish989?
[17:55] <danbrownlow> What's up?
[17:55] <Harold> alright, that didnt work, so again ill ask
[17:55] <Harold> laszy
[17:55] <Harold> can anyone tell me how to get amarok to install mp3 support automatically
[17:56] <Danish989> I'm having trouble with GRUB loader because I have two sata hard disks installed, apparently
[17:56] <crazytalk> danbrownlow: *click* ty dude
[17:56] <ProProductions> ok so is there a better way that samba?
[17:56] <Zelta> Harold: ubuntu-resitricted-extras
[17:56] <ProProductions> for example something i can throw on the nas
[17:56] <danbrownlow> Where did you install the bootloader?
[17:56] <bazhang> Harold: this is gnome or kde
[17:56] <Danish989> danbrownlow, Grub Loader gives an ERROR 22 while loading Stage 1.5
[17:56] <Harold> KDE
[17:56] <Danish989> danbrownlow, I didn't, I installed Ubuntu Gutsy
[17:56] <bazhang> kubuntu-restricted-extras then Harold
[17:57] <Harold> i figured that, but ive tried that already and it didnt work :|
[17:57] <Harold> im using Hardy
[17:57] <Harold> could it be that?
[17:57] <ProProductions> here is the OS info from the NAS >>
[17:57] <ProProductions> Linux version 2.6.12.6-arm1 (root@thesz_linux) (gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)) #437 Fri Jun 8 20:28:54 UTC 2007
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardy
[17:57] <Danish989> danbrownlow, can it be because I created a logical partition? :/
[17:57] <ubotu> 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
[17:57] <sipior> ProProductions: well, if the nas is running linux anyway, you might find it easier to set up nfs. if you're planning on accessing these files from a windows box as well, then go with samba
[17:57] <bazhang> wrong channel then Harold
[17:57] <goodmorning> ดีครับ
[17:57] <Danish989> someone told me ubuntu wouldn't load from a Logical Partition .. is that true?
[17:57] <goodmorning> ดีครับ
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, Are you running multiple drives?
[17:57] <FloodBot1> goodmorning: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:57] <Danish989> yes, jack_Sparrow
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, YOu probably installed to the wrong mbr
[17:58] <ProProductions> yeah it would need to be dual platform
[17:58] <ProProductions> so stick with the samba solution?
[17:58] <Harold> bazhang, is there some designated channel? because i see nothing for Kubuntu related stuff
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> goodmorning, English please
[17:58] <sipior> ProProductions: yep
[17:58] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, what does that mean to a linux newb?
[17:58] <danbrownlow> Danish.. Log into recovery console using windows disk and type 'fixmbr' That could work..
[17:58] <ProProductions> ok ty :)
[17:58] <ProProductions> I got some other Q's
[17:58] <ProProductions> am a complete linux n00b
[17:58] <ProProductions> lol
[17:58] <Oprt1> tim1:
[17:58] <AliRezaTaleghani> http://www.google.com/
[17:58] <AliRezaTaleghani> Bombed :D
[17:58] <Danish989> danbrownlow, that worked to fix windows, because it overwrote on the grub loader with window's loader .. and now I can load windows properly but no ubuntu
[17:58] <bazhang> Harold: we kde users must suffer in the #ubuntu+1 channel ;]
[17:59] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, what does that mean to a linux newb?
[17:59] <tim1> Oprt1: Yep?
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> danbrownlow, SHort answer is to reinstall grub to the booting sata
[17:59] <AliRezaTaleghani> http://www.google.com/
[17:59] <Oprt1> tim1: now i can play all kinds of video files, but the result(video resoultion) is not as good as in windowsXP
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry that was for Danish989
[17:59] <CJS3141> Is there any way to change the boot order of the startup apps in the "Startup Programs" tab of the "Sessions" program? Or is the only way to do this under the "Current Session" tab?
[17:59] <tim1> Oprt1: Hm, maybe you're using the wrong codec. I have no idea.
[18:00] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, I tried reinstalling the grub loader on the proper sata but that didn't work
[18:00] <danbrownlow> Jack_Sparrow: I though fixing the windows mbr might help this, along with the 'fixboot' command?
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989  the people in /join #grub  are goos at walking people through that
[18:00] <Oprt1> i just pick all the plug in in ADD/REMOVE section.... any good plugin?
[18:00] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, I tried asking  there before .. but I'll try there again, thank you :)
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> danbrownlow, fixing the mbr will only give him back windows
[18:00] <ProProductions> dammit, update manager is stoppin me from doin stuff, lol
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, one sec
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> are you running ubuntu live now
[18:01] <ProProductions> ok as I gotta wait for this update to complete I will ask another Q
[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ProProductions, Did you add unsupported repos to the source list
[18:02] <Fishscene> adam, is there an "about Ubuntu" option somewhere on the top toolbar?
[18:02] <Flare183> m
[18:02] <Fishscene> nvm. I'm like, 2 hours out of date
[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ProProductions, AH.. just taking awhile.. sorry.. np
[18:02] <ZPertee> is there some way to decompile a .deb?
[18:02] <ProProductions> I am using Sam Broadcaster in windows and need an equivalent prog in Ubuntu, any suggestions?
[18:03] <matthew_> i'm having some problems with java, i cant seem to update it
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !packaging > ZPertee
[18:03] <danbrownlow> Jack_Sparrow.. I thought GRUB was installed in MBR of internal harddisk?
[18:03] <sipior> ZPertee: sure, look at dpkg-deb -x
[18:03] <af_> I would like to start my raid1 even degraded without human intervetion (hardy beta server) any hints?
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> danbrownlow, he could have put it on either drive or on a partition...
[18:04] <lesshaste> it seems firefox can't render http://www.gharrow.com/ properly. Nothing happens when you hover over the options. Works ok in opera for example
[18:04] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, anything?
[18:04] <danbrownlow> Jack_Sparrow.. Ok, good point =]
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, are you running ubuntu live now
[18:04] <ProProductions> lesshaste: thats a firefox issue, not really ubuntu
[18:04] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, no, I'm on from windows xp
[18:05] <matthew_> can anyone help me update my java, the java.com instructions appear useless
[18:05] <danbrownlow> LessHaste: What ver. of FF are you using?
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Danish989, I was going to have you pull info from fstab and fdisk -l
[18:05] <lesshaste> ProProductions: if you exclude everything that is not unique to ubuntu here then you don't have much left L(
[18:05] <lesshaste> danbrownlow: 2.0.0.13
[18:05] <ProProductions> true
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, are you running the supplied version of firefox? or one you installed?
[18:06] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, I'll probably see you around later then, I've gotta run
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[18:06] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: supplied
[18:06] <Danish989> jack_sparrow, thanks anyway :)
[18:06] <ProProductions> ok 10 mins and updates are done, lol then I can try doin somethin else
[18:07] <jsaxton> jsaxton@pancake:~$ touch test
[18:07] <jsaxton> jsaxton@pancake:~$ chmod 777 test
[18:07] <jsaxton> jsaxton@pancake:~$ chown root test
[18:07] <jsaxton> chown: changing ownership of `test': Operation not permitted
[18:07] <FloodBot1> jsaxton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:07] <jsaxton> Could someone explain to me why that doesn't work?
[18:07] <sipior> jsaxton: you need to use sudo
[18:07] <sipior> jsaxton: on the chown command
[18:08] <crazytalk> i am reading the ubuntu docs on global shortcut keys and for me alt-tab and ctrl-alt-tab do the same thing, is this because for some reason ubuntu is not picking up my ctrl key?
[18:08] <andrer> i am setting up postfix with sasl... sasls seems to be properly configured... but postfix is simply ignoring /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf (ehlo localhost doesn't return AUTH) ... what parameters must one set?
[18:08] <jsaxton> sipior, thanks, but I was wondering why the user jsaxton doesn't have permission to chown it
[18:08] <danbrownlow> Is anyone here able to help me with simple AWN question?
[18:08] <ProProductions> brb
[18:08] <sipior> jsaxton: because you can't give files away on POSIX systems
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, I went to the site and it came up.. a couple graphics but nothing special..  what should it do?
[18:08] <User6341> Zeilta, are you there?
[18:08] <User6341> Zelta
[18:08] <Zelta> Hey
[18:08] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: mouse over the menu items
[18:08] <jsaxton> sipior, thanks
[18:08] <ZPertee> can anyone help me.  I am trying to compile c-client imap client to no avail.  I don't want it installed just compiled and I can't get it to go for anything
[18:08] <sipior> jsaxton: else you could defeat filesystem quotas by passing around your files
[18:09] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: like "who we serve"
[18:09] <lesshaste> K
[18:09] <jsaxton> sipior, that make sense
[18:09] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: nothing happens... it is supposed to change the text of the window to say who they serve
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, yes.. it does nothing..
[18:09] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: it works in opera for examlpe
[18:09] <christopher> i have installed software with adept but it isn't showing up in the menu what do i do to fix that
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, it is just a poorly written page..
[18:10] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: well :)
[18:10] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: or.. there is a problem with the javascript support in firefox
[18:10] <Yazan`> Zelta, I have done like you told me, when it was the 5/7 option, i rezied the partition to 12.1GB and then clicked on Forward. After that, it was the last step and then it was time to install, but before that, it told me that all partitions will be formatted (#3 and #6), does that mean it will format the C: and D: drive???
[18:10]  * Neo_Tech is away (Off Dulu,Istirahat...)
[18:10] <Enselic> How do I input any Unicode character again? It's somethig like Ctrl +Alt + codepoint, but I can't recall exactly how it is
[18:10] <Zelta> No, Yazan`
[18:10] <Zelta> It means it will format partitions #3 and #6
[18:10] <Yazan`> I closed the window and rebooted the system, then i saw that 12GB was taken off my HD
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, agreed, either way it isnt a ubuntu issue...  Firefox is working normally for you
[18:11] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: hmm :)
[18:11] <StucKman> hi all. I'm trying to configure a samsung syncmaster 943nwx. thing is, dcc1 and dcc2 are not working. so I try to use a modeline that is working to a identical monitor with a identical vcard (an integrated intel 945g), but the mode is discarded because "hsync is out of range". I pushed the values to 10-120 and still no fun. what can I do?
[18:11] <Yazan`> Zelta: So it will format C:/D:/
[18:11] <StucKman> re: dcc not working, I already tried changing the cable with the machine that works, and still no fun.
[18:11] <Yazan`> ?
[18:11] <matthew_> is there some reason why frostwire is still requesting 1.5.X java when i have 1.5.0 java installed?
[18:11] <Zelta> No, Yazan`
[18:11] <Zelta> It means it will format partitions #3 and #6
[18:11] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: it's normal not to send users to the upstream apps bug system these days :)
[18:11] <Zelta> Windows is on #1
[18:11] <Zelta> or #2
[18:11] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: as distros have effectively become the whole OS experience for many people
[18:12] <Yazan`> Arghh...damn it! Now, if i go back to installation window, how will i choose the new partition I've created??
[18:12] <sipior> lesshaste: it fails under Firefox on MacOSX as well, so you'd best take it up with the firefox people
[18:12] <Yazan`> Because surely I don't want to make another one.
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, WIth Hardy comming out in a few days...  not sure it is worth your time until we find out if that version is working on that page
[18:12] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: true
[18:12] <ineedhelp> hi to the room
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste, feel free to do so.. but hope you see my point
[18:13] <profx> how can you via the banlist in xchat ?
[18:13] <valav> hi, i have a question, i want a script that runs when the net goes up (for launching some apps)
[18:13] <profx> nevermind
[18:13] <matthew_> guess im on my own
[18:13] <ompaul> StucKman, most likley your router is blocking it check it for a firewall and be careful using the letters at the end of this line they can get you banned from the server and thus will not allow you access actually to it ;-)   d^C^C
[18:13] <Yazan`> Zelta, thanks anyways
[18:13] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: I do of course.
[18:13] <Zelta> Yazan`: It's not that complicated...
[18:14] <StucKman> ompaul: ddc, not dcc

[18:14] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: it also depends on the user base size of the distro
[18:14] <lesshaste> of course
[18:14] <ompaul> StucKman, I'm loosing it
[18:14] <StucKman> ddc is vcard/monitor protocol for resolutions and refresh rates
[18:14] <profx> hmm, can the ban for *!*jesus@* be removed ?

[18:21] <psycic21> can anyone lend me a hand updating my java runtime environment
[18:21] <tzd> how do i remove a previous mount point please? My mp3 player automatically mounts itself to a mount directory that won't work within amarok :/
[18:21] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow:ok done and now?
[18:21] <frank__> no ideas about the gmail problem?
[18:21] <lesshaste> Jack_Sparrow: apparently you allowed allowed to watch #ubuntu-ops in action.. justice must not only be done but be seen to be done :)
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, do you see the partition you want to pull data from?
[18:21] <amenado> tzd-> mount points are directory, so you can remove them like any directories
[18:22] <ineedhelp> yes and the external also..
[18:22] <fyreofchaos13> Hi, I have a very large issue; My Ubuntu won't load from the disc.
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> lesshaste,  Agreed..
[18:22] <fyreofchaos13> Hard disc even.
[18:22] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow:yes and the external also..
[18:22] <psycic21> nobody knows how to update java here?
[18:23] <fyreofchaos13> Could somebody possibly help me?
[18:23] <crazytalk> !ask
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, you will need to use a terminal to create a mount point
[18:23] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[18:23] <abbe> hi channel
[18:23] <amenado> psycic21-> what do you currently have?
[18:23] <Orbixx> Pidgin is not starting - it remains resident as a process, though - except, when started with root priveleges, it's fine.
[18:23] <psycic21> 1.5.0
[18:23] <Orbixx> Tried deleting config dir, no joy.
[18:23] <Orbixx> Any suggestions?
[18:23] <abbe> is there any recommended way to generate gcc cross-compilers in ubuntu ?
[18:23] <tzd> amenado: hmm that's what i thought but when i look at the mount dir I'm unable to see the dir where the mp3 player is mounted?
[18:23] <abbe> or should I install a gcc tarball and then do it myself
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  as an example     sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-1    then    sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/ntfs-1
[18:24] <amenado> tzd new style is created by udev, so you have to modify the udev rules
[18:24] <cchild> hello am using kopete, how do i change my irc pwd?
[18:24] <tzd> amenado: oki, is that easy or?
[18:25] <amenado> abbe-> if you have the orielly book on embedded linux, that has tutorials on how to go about creating the cross compiler
[18:25] <amenado> tzd i find it difficult myself, not a straightforward rule to make
[18:25] <abbe> amenado: I know how to compile gcc cross-compiler, but I see there are gcc-* packages for different architectures like avr
[18:25] <cchild> whats is the command from kopete to change my irc password?
[18:26] <abbe> amenado: so I wanted to know if there is any built-in way for ubuntu
[18:26] <amenado> abbe-> you are way too advanced for us..not sure if any can assist you here with that
[18:26] <tzd> amenado: oh i see... better leave it then. I should be able to copy and paste outside Amarok though... Thanks for your help
[18:26] <abbe> cchild: /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD <password> --[ will change your IRC password
[18:27] <abbe> amenado: okay, I wanted to produce cross-compiler packages in ubuntu is it possible or I've to hack my own debian/* and create a .deb myself
[18:27] <Orbixx> Pidgin is not starting - it remains resident as a process, though - except, when started with root priveleges, it's fine.
[18:27] <cchild> abbe: all it does is open a new window and shows " set password mypassword"
[18:28] <Lucutious> Greetings!
[18:28] <amenado> abbe yeah you can create your own deb package of cross-compiler tools
[18:28] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow: i cannot mkdir says file allready exists..
[18:28] <abbe> amenado: how, any links or howtos
[18:28] <abbe> cchild: yes thats a command to nickserv to change your password
[18:28] <frold> hey is there any tutorial telling howto add *XP to Ubuntu-7.10? eg using virtualbox... as I understand WMWare player doenst work witj 7.10......
[18:28] <amenado> abbe the only reference i knew of is the embedded linux book i mentioned earlier
[18:29] <fyreofchaos13> Could somebody please help me? My computer won't boot into Ubuntu for some reason...
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  make a different one  make it anything
[18:29] <cchild> abbe but when i test the new password it does not work
[18:29] <amenado> abbe for creating deb there are plenty via google though
[18:29] <Lucutious> I am trying to set up a new Ubuntu server to act as a webserver, and I'll be using it in conjunction with dyndns.  Is there anyone who is able to help me set up the mailserver?
[18:29] <abbe> cchild: okay, then I'm sorry
[18:29] <adv_> how can i see the biggest files in order on my disk?
[18:29] <abbe> amenado: I know about new maintainer's guide
[18:30] <abbe> amenado: but I wanted to know if there is something specific for cross-compilers which can aid me in building package for them
[18:30] <abbe> amenado: like some template script
[18:30] <amenado> abbe since you know how to create the cross-compiler tools, perhaps the additional know how you like is to make a .deb package?
[18:31] <abbe> msg amenado okay, thanks :)
[18:31] <amenado> abbe again you are way too advanced for most of us...
[18:32] <abbe> amenado: probably I'm not able to describe properly, anyways thanks for your help and suggestion
[18:32] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow:different one ..? so i typed sudo mkdir another name... it gives me: "mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/ntfs-1': Permission denied
[18:32] <ineedhelp> ...
[18:32] <Orbixx> Anyone care to lend me a hand with my Pidgin problem?
[18:33] <neverblue> Orbixx, we aren't mind readers :D
[18:33] <Jaymac> !ask | Orbixx
[18:33] <ubotu> Orbixx: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[18:33] <Orbixx> Ya, I asked my question 10 minutes ago.
[18:33] <Orbixx> I know!
[18:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,    try  sudo mkdir /media/bogus              oh.. livecd may not need sudo..
[18:33] <Jaymac> Well what is your problem?
[18:34] <Orbixx> Pidgin will not start - it stays resident as a process though.
[18:34] <sdakak> Can you tell me what permissions should all my mediawiki dir have if it is on a internet server?
[18:34] <Orbixx> When executed as root - it's fine.
[18:34] <Orbixx> I don't understand why.
[18:34] <sdakak> Orbixx: Are you running compiz
[18:34] <erUSUL> Orbixx: run it from terminal maybe it spits some cluefull error
[18:34] <Jaymac> maybe you need to chown .purple?
[18:34] <neverblue> Orbixx, run it from command line ?
[18:34] <Orbixx> sdakak: Yes.
[18:34] <Orbixx> neverblue: Doesn't work.
[18:34] <flavorjones> Orbixx, did you try pkill pidgin and then restarting it?
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Orbixx, do you see a green icon in the systray
[18:34] <Orbixx> erUSUL: It just hangs at terminal.
[18:34] <neverblue> Orbixx, what is the error when you run it ?
[18:34] <Orbixx> Oh my God it was already running.
[18:34] <Orbixx> Hahaha.
[18:34] <erUSUL> Orbixx: strace pidgin
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[18:34] <fyreofchaos13> :P
[18:35]  * sipior hits his head on his desk
[18:35] <fyreofchaos13> Could somebody please aid me?
[18:35] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow:ok done it :)
[18:35] <neverblue> test
[18:35] <Lucutious> I am trying to set up a new Ubuntu server to act as a webserver, and I'll be using it in conjunction with dyndns.  Is there anyone who is able to help me set up the mailserver, or perhaps point me to a link that will help?
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  as an example    mount /dev/sdb5 /media/bogus               replace sdb5 with your partition
[18:35] <neverblue> test
[18:36] <Orbixx> Much obliged guys!

[18:37] <frold> I found this myself: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/12/running-windows-inside-your-ubuntu.html
[18:37] <fyreofchaos13> Could anybody help me please? I'm having Ubuntu boot errors...
[18:37] <neverblue> Jack_Sparrow, what font do you use in IRC ?
[18:37] <fyreofchaos13>  /problems
[18:37] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: you'll need to be more specific
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> neverblue, Bitstream Charter 12
[18:38] <fyreofchaos13> When booting my computer, after the Grub thingy.
[18:38] <neverblue> not a common font I guess..
[18:38] <iclebyte> which file do i edit to 'blacklist' a usb device so that it doesnt try and automatically load the kernel modules for it so the device is not in use and can be connected to a virtual machine?
[18:38] <fyreofchaos13> It goes to an initramfs
[18:38] <fyreofchaos13> And doesn't do anything.
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> neverblue, xchat
[18:38] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow: it says: cannot find in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab...
[18:38] <x-fak> do you know if there's a way to fix the compiz+nvidia tearing problem ,playing videos?
[18:38] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: what is the last error printed?
[18:38] <fyreofchaos13> On startup?
[18:38] <lesshaste> is there an ubuntu offtopic channel?
[18:39] <erUSUL> iclebyte: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ??
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, mount tells you that?
[18:39] <sipior> yes, #ubuntu-offtopic :-)
[18:39] <erUSUL> !ot | lesshaste
[18:39] <ubotu> lesshaste: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:39] <neverblue> Jack_Sparrow, under which family ?
[18:39] <iclebyte> erUSUL, that's the one! thanks.
[18:39] <lesshaste> thanks
[18:39] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow:yes
[18:39] <fyreofchaos13> I get an error that happened every other startup, about a PCI region being unset or something.
[18:39] <DiVoRaM> fyreo...it sounds like the CD can not be read....
[18:39] <DiVoRaM> ah...ok
[18:39] <fyreofchaos13> Its booting off of the hard drive.
[18:39] <DiVoRaM> ouch
[18:39] <fyreofchaos13> It booted right every other time.
[18:39] <neverblue> fyreofchaos13, can you keep the question all in one, single post ?
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, try it with sudo mount
[18:40] <Orbixx> Another two things, fellas.
[18:40] <Orbixx> It's about dual screens and general interface.
[18:40] <Orbixx> Involving nvidia and twinview.
[18:40] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow:allready done it...nothing..
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, WHat is the exact command you are giving for mount
[18:40] <neverblue> Orbixx, keep it to a single line, would be nice :D
[18:40] <neXyon> hello! anyone familiar with doxygen? how can I switch of the file reference stuff generated in the latex output?
[18:40] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: so, the machine has been booting fine, but all of the sudden stopped? and what is the final error printed on startup?
[18:40] <Orbixx> Sorry - it's a bad habit.
[18:40] <fyreofchaos13> I don't get any errors on start up other than the PCI Region.
[18:41] <ineedhelp> sudo mkdir /media/bogus
[18:41] <Orbixx> I have set up twinview for two monitors. One is directly above another.
[18:41] <neverblue> Orbixx, makes it much easier on someone trying to help, finding one post in this Ocean of Posts
[18:41] <Orbixx> Oh!
[18:41] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: how long ago did this problem begin?
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, I am feeling a bit fuzzy this am...  I must be missing something simple
[18:41] <Orbixx> I'm doing it again! Sorry!
[18:41] <ineedhelp> sorry mistake
[18:41] <fyreofchaos13> After the Grub sequence, it shows PCI Region 3 is bad, then skips the loading sequence, and gives me a <initramfs> tag.
[18:41] <fyreofchaos13> Happened this morning, after Ubuntu randomly crashed.
[18:42] <genii> abbe: Use checkinstall, you can specify architecture different that what you are compiling on.
[18:42] <Orbixx> I have set up twinview for two monitors. One is directly above another. The one I want to be the secondary one has the login screen on it, and the menu, systray and task bar default to it.
[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, I thought you were able to make the directory?
[18:42] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: what were you doing at the time ubuntu crashed?
[18:42] <Orbixx> How do I toggle this?
[18:42] <neverblue> fyreofchaos13, tested any of your hardware, more specifically your RAM ?
[18:42] <jpcooper> hello
[18:42] <jpcooper> has anyone attempted to do dual screen with a T60?
[18:42] <fyreofchaos13> Ubuntu had been running, and crashed. It went to an error screen, saying thins such at "ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)" and "8139cp 0000:02:05.0: This *id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not 8139C+ compatible chip"
[18:42] <abbe> genii: checkinstall in ?
[18:42] <fyreofchaos13> I wasn't doing anything other than chatting on IRC and Pidgin.
[18:42] <neverblue> Orbixx, first, are you talking about an Ubuntu system ?
[18:42] <Orbixx> neverblue: Yes.
[18:42] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: yes, but what were you doing with ubuntu at the time of the crash?
[18:42] <Guess> Since I'm new here. May I just ask if only Ubuntu-talk is allowed or if other chat is too?
[18:43] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow: i did...i meaned..: sudo mount /dev/sda/media/bogus
[18:43] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: i see, thank you
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> fyreofchaos13, Was this a hard drive install or wubi or some vm install?
[18:43] <neverblue> Orbixx, then, whats this talk about twinview, sorry, not really understanding where thats coming from
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  add a space in there and a partition number
[18:43] <fyreofchaos13> Pardon, Jack?
[18:43] <Orbixx> Twinview is a part of nvidia's linux driver.
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, mount /dev/sda1 /media/bogus
[18:44] <Orbixx> It allows the user to have more than one monitor in one x session.
[18:44] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: how did you install ubuntu?
[18:44] <Orbixx> Spanning it across screens.
[18:44] <crazytalk> a guide for stopping my nvidia card from sometimes blacking out the screen is asking me to edit xorg.conf by switching to the console, can i just do it from terminal window?
[18:44] <neverblue> Orbixx, so your using the Restricted Drivers Manager to setup your driver? or your using nvidia-settings ?
[18:44] <Orbixx> crazytalk: Yes.
[18:44] <fyreofchaos13> Its installed on my hard drive. :P
[18:44] <genii> abbe: It's standard in the repos. You use it to make a deb from source code. As I said, you can specify architecture to compile for if not native to box you're using (although you need of course the proper libs for whatever platform you tell it to make the deb for)
[18:44] <crazytalk> Orbixx: ty
[18:44] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow:: says:"/dev/sda1 looks like swapspace - not mounted
[18:44] <ineedhelp> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[18:44] <ineedhelp> "
[18:44] <fyreofchaos13> Downloaded the iso, burned to disc, and installed to my computer.
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> fyreofchaos13, Arer you running gutsy
[18:45] <fyreofchaos13> I'm currently running off of the LiveCD as we speak.
[18:45] <fyreofchaos13> Yes.
[18:45] <Orbixx> neverblue: I've used nvidia-setting to get it THIS far. I'm just not sure where to go from here to tell X which monitor is my main one.
[18:45] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: you might try a cold boot. turn the machine off. wait thirty seconds or so, then turn back on.
[18:45] <abbe> genii: okay, so you mean I should use checkinstall + gcc-source-4.1 = gcc for xyz architecture
[18:45] <fyreofchaos13> I did.
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, I only put sda1.. you need to use the info from fdisk -l you did earlier
[18:45] <Jonn> Question: Im having problems using the Alt + <string of number> to translate binary to ASCII code. How can I set the keyboard to use the Alt + function?
[18:45] <neverblue> Orbixx, editted an xorg.conf before ?
[18:45] <Orbixx> neverblue: Yes.
[18:45] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: can you boot off of the live CD?
[18:45] <fyreofchaos13> After it first started, I actually left the computer off for an hour and a half or so.
[18:46] <fyreofchaos13> I'm currently running off of the LiveCD
[18:46] <genii> abbe: It has extensive options which can be used
[18:46] <abbe> genii: okay, thanks for the hint :)
[18:46] <neverblue> Orbixx, so you want one screen to be the default for (what exactly) logging in ?
[18:46] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: and you're able to see all of your disk partitions with no trouble?
[18:46] <genii> abbe: np. It's manpage is long, be warned :)
[18:47] <Jonn> Question: Im having problems using the Alt + <string of number> to translate binary to ASCII code. How can I set the keyboard to use the Alt + function?
[18:47] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, did you understand that?
[18:47] <abbe> genii: thanks
[18:47] <Orbixx> neverblue: Well I notice Ubuntu (or rather, X) thinks that my secondary monitor is my main one - as it throws the login screen on it and then only puts the menu and taskbar on it. My MAIN monitor is left with an empty desktop.
[18:47] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow::so i typed sudo mount sda1 /media/bogus and ti gave me:
[18:47] <ineedhelp> mount: special device sda1 does not exist
[18:47] <fyreofchaos13> I never partitioned it so its still whole
[18:47] <Orbixx> I want to toggle this.
[18:47] <neverblue> Orbixx, switch the hardware then ?
[18:47] <fyreofchaos13> when I open the computer browser, I see a 109.3GB vole, but can't access it.
[18:47] <neverblue> Orbixx, rather than a software fix..
[18:48] <Orbixx> neverblue: Good point.
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, Is sda1 the drive with your data or is it a different partition
[18:48] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: but that's not your main disk?
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  mount /dev/sda1 /media/bogus or mount /dev/sda2 /media/bogus
[18:48] <fyreofchaos13> Its my Hard Disk. o.O
[18:49] <Jonn> Im having problems using the Alt + <string of number> to translate binary to ASCII code. How can I set the keyboard to use the Alt + function?
[18:49] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: and you can't access it? i think we've found your problem
[18:49] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow: sda is the one but before i tried to fix it with super grub disk i dont know if it is important...
[18:49] <fyreofchaos13> When I click it, says Volume can't be mounted.
[18:49] <pupeno> Hello.
[18:49] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: have you got a terminal open? can you try mounting it manually?
[18:50] <fred__> Hi, does anyone knows about PPPoE connexion problems?

[18:50] <fyreofchaos13> Erm...how would I reference it?
[18:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, sda is a drive.. not a partition
[18:51] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: fire up a terminal. try "sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sda"
[18:51] <pupeno> I've just got a Dell Inspiron 1252 with Ubuntu and I want to re-install it. Anybody know what's with the iso that's liked from my desk and with the partition that contains the same iso, apparently a big DVD that's an installable Ubuntu... can I safely remove the .iso and the partition? How is the partition used? (I'll save the ISO in a backup, but I'll install from the stock Ubuntu cd)
[18:51] <fred__> in fact, my PPPoE connexion is supposed to attach the ppp0 interface to eth0, but, plog shows it does attch ppp0 to /dev/pts/1

[18:51] <McJerry> I am running Ubuntu 7.10 2.6.22-14-generic
[18:51] <Jonn> Question: Im having problems using the Alt + <string of number> to translate binary to ASCII code. How can I set the keyboard to use the Alt + function?
[18:51] <McJerry> cli only as server and have following prob
[18:52] <ProProductions> OK I asked this earlier but will ask again. I use a program in windows called Sam Broadcaster, it allows me to run a complete radio station within a program. So now I need to find a linux equivelent, any suggestions?
[18:52] <fyreofchaos13> I get 5 sda devices.
[18:52] <amenado> pupeno before erasing that iso, why not try to mount it and look inside that iso? compare the files, get yourself familiarized
[18:52] <McJerry> running php5 and i have a blahblah.php script set to mail message but message only gets delivered to internal mail server running on another machine
[18:53] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: that's fine. which is the partition you use for ubuntu?
[18:53] <McJerry> if I change the recipient email address to an outside domain, the mail message never gets delivered. what could be prob?
[18:53] <fyreofchaos13> sda1 is the boot.
[18:53] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow:bash: syntax error near unexpected token `Provide'
[18:53] <ineedhelp> ..,.gives me
[18:53] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: do you have a separate boot partition, or is sda1 also the root?
[18:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, the last part of that was a comment to you...
[18:53] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow: oh....
[18:54] <ProProductions> McJerry: try using your ISP's SMPT server on your mail server, might sound crazy but some ISP's can be bitchy
[18:54] <fyreofchaos13> Should also be the root; I didn't partition the drive.
[18:54] <ProProductions> SMTP*
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, (Provide link.... so I can see your partition info in the pastebin
[18:54] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: all right, try "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" and see what happens
[18:54] <Orbixx> neverblue: My current physical hardware arrangement allows my main monitor to output the POST on boot.
[18:54] <fyreofchaos13> Error...
[18:55] <Orbixx> neverblue: Changing it will negate that.
[18:55] <ineedhelp>  Jack_Sparrow:can i send on privite
[18:55] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: i hope it said more than that
[18:55] <fyreofchaos13> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,

[18:55] <FloodBot1> fyreofchaos13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:55] <neverblue> Orbixx, its related to the video cards, not the monitors, check the BIOS
[18:55] <sipior> pastebin, please...
[18:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp, I need to get ready to leave shortly...  this should not be taking this long....  just copy the output of fdisk -l to a pastebin
[18:55] <fyreofchaos13> Sorry. =(
[18:56] <ProProductions> McJerry: I have a NAS unit that wont send emails to external domains cause of an ISP restriction
[18:56] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: if you try running dmesg, does anything turn up that looks remotely related?
[18:56] <ineedhelp> pastebin...

[18:58] <Jack_Sparrow> ineedhelp,  mount /dev/sdb1 /media/bogus
[18:58] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: might be a problem with your controller, but that's unlikely. can you try running fsck on the partition? make sure it's unmounted first: "sudo umount /dev/sda1" then "sudo fsck /dev/sda1"
[18:58] <pupeno> amenado: the iso seems to contain exactly the same as the partition.
[18:58] <pupeno> amenado: I've already backed up the iso, but I want to delete the partition, wasting 5GB is not fun.
[18:59] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: actually, you can ignore the umount, since it was never mounted... :-)
[19:00] <fyreofchaos13> Its running through the inodes...
[19:00] <ineedhelp> Jack_Sparrow: this is the external disk not the one with the data...
[19:00] <pupeno> So, anybody else know what's about the 5GB partition on Dell machines with the contents of an Ubuntu install DVD?
[19:00] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: that's good, the drive is accessible
[19:00] <fyreofchaos13> I'm getting deleted inodes iwth zero dtime.

[19:02] <obtix> bt_: THANKS!
[19:02] <ouellettesr> hello can someone help me figure out how to get both monitors working on my pc? First off I tried the "Screens and Graphics" and now my main monitor is 640x480 and i cant change it I try to start "screens and graphics" again but it fails.

[19:03] <Fishscene> i386 unless you are running a mac powerpc computer
[19:03] <Yazan`> When i wanted to install the speedtouch package(.deb), it gave me this error:  Dependency is not satisfiable : hotplug

[19:04] <Yazan`> When i wanted to install the speedtouch package(.deb), it gave me this error:  Dependency is not satisfiable : hotplug
[19:04] <Yazan`> ops
[19:04] <fyreofchaos13> Sipior, is that normal?
[19:04] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: this will take a while, i imagine, and i have to catch a train. let fsck fix up the disk for you, and then see if you can mount it. if it mounts successfully, you should be in business. unmount the partition and reboot.
[19:04] <Jonn> Question: Im having problems using the Alt + <string of number> to translate binary to ASCII code. How can I set the keyboard to use the Alt + function? Does the text editor accepts ASCII inputs?
[19:04] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: yes, quite normal

[19:04] <came0> Hello, I'm running hylafax on ubuntu server to act as my office's fax server.  It has a mail server (sendmail?) installed by default, and I see that the confimations from hylafax ("fax complete/failed") are going into the mail on that local machine.  Is there a config file I can set that will forward the mail from that account to my regular mail account (@gmail.com?)
[19:04] <fyreofchaos13> Alright.
[19:05] <fyreofchaos13> Willdo!
[19:05] <sipior> fyreofchaos13: good luck, hopefully fsck will sort things out shortly for you
[19:05] <Yazan`> When i wanted to install the speedtouch package(speedtouch-i368.deb), it gave me this error:  Dependency is not satisfiable : hotplug

[19:24] <Benji_> anyone any ideas why GNOME just keeps crashing for no reason?
[19:24] <Benji_> it restarts itself

[19:25] <witakr> gregory, i do this and niothin happens
[19:25] <WGGMk> Benji_: it is prolly directly related to compiz
[19:25] <Yazan`> Do i follow this guide: http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html and then try to install the speedtouch drivers?
[19:25] <Benji_> so I should disable all visual effects basicly?
[19:26] <WGGMk> Benji_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change your driver to "nv" and try that
[19:26] <witakr> is it an xchat thing?
[19:26] <boris__> hello
[19:26] <ProProductions> McJerry: off hand I cant think of anything else to suggest, might be worth posting on the forums see what you get there
[19:26] <WGGMk> Benji_: try it, and see how it runs with no visuals using the restricted drivers.. if it still crashes it may be your nvidia drivers
[19:26] <ghaleb> hello, i have upgraded my system to Hadry Heron, but a bug comes up, my keyboard stop writing while the system is functionally normally , I 'm using HP laptop

[19:27] <witakr> Yazan.. you send them a check every month
[19:27] <Yazan`> Q-tel
[19:27] <WGGMk> Benji_: try just disabling the visuals first.. but if that doesnt work, just search for the word "nvidia" and you will see a line called Driver   "nvidia" just change it to "nv"
[19:27] <Benji_> WGGMk, where in that config do I change it to nv?
[19:28] <Benji_> ok

[19:35] <Yazan`> By the way, how would I know if my computer uses 64-bit or 32-bit?
[19:35] <maxownz> hey all
[19:35] <adam_> littlerhody, do you see other ssids?
[19:35] <user1> WGGMk i can manualy remove usb in linux. so i think i can do that in vbox too

[19:36] <Yazan`> WGGMk: No, I want to know while am on Windows.
[19:36] <WGGMk> user1: is vbox telling you that you cant? or is the OS inside vbox saying that?
[19:36] <Yazan`> WGGMk: So I know which CD to install.
[19:36] <WGGMk> Yazan`: do you have an amd 64 bit processor?
[19:37] <littlerhody> i show eth0, lo, and wlan0
[19:37] <user1> WGGMk so what can i do?

[19:39] <crazytalk> (say, from a guide)
[19:39] <WGGMk> user1: again, I would ask around vbox.. but this is most likely because the vbox user doesnt have permissions.. check the permissions of vbox user or group

[19:39] <WGGMk> adam_: i know but he's using wpa_supplicant which may not be necessary

[19:40] <littlerhody> sudo ath0 up command not recognized
[19:40] <adam_> WGGMk, ah, that is the problem, the wpa is very touchy with the key
[19:40] <guja_nebeska_> crazytalk: Do u have experience in installing Ubuntu on macbook? Which partitions do I have to made?

[19:40] <guja_nebeska_> I have 50gb free space partition.
[19:40] <WGGMk> user1: there should be a vbox user or group.. check that user's permission

[19:40] <t1n0m3n> I am having a problem with Ubuntu 7.10 x64 and duel screens.  When I enable normal visual effects, all menus pause an extra second or two.  It is just enough to be annoying.  Using one screen, it is OK.  I didn't have this issue with Kubuntu 7.10.  Any Ideas on what the cause could be?
[19:40] <user1> WGGMk iam in the vboxuser group. and i can manulay remove the usb in linux
[19:40] <WGGMk> adam_: i think he needs to manually add the key but im not how to do that... littlerhody: did you already do this?
[19:41] <Akker> Faszról ugattok, genyók. Ezt kódoljátok ki!
[19:41] <adam_> littlerhody, did you put the key in for the wpa?
[19:41] <WGGMk> user1: no, not your user.. when the application installed it installed a user... that application may not have the ability to do certain things..
[19:41] <littlerhody> i tried to put the key in via manual command line and the manual network settings
[19:41] <user1> WGGMk what type of user?
[19:41] <StuckMojo> hi. anyone know the trick to making Intel 82801G sound work on gutsy?
[19:42] <adam_> littlerhody, no, use the gui
[19:42] <adam_> littlerhody, its easier
[19:42] <WGGMk> user1: i dont know I never used vbox.. this is why I keep urging you to check around the people more familiar with vbox.. so i dont get you frustrated
[19:42] <christopher> why do i keep geting an apt database could not be opened error
[19:42] <user1> WGGMk i was asked to put vboxuser group in my groups list. i did that.
[19:42] <adam_> christopher, probably because when you are updating, you could have a bad repo, or one that is not available...
[19:43] <user1> WGGMk do you mean i should confirm that i have the mount unmount permissions of usb drvies ? if yes. how can i do it
[19:43] <christopher> adam could u help me fix that please
[19:43] <adam_> christopher, you need to figure out which repo is broken, did you add one recently?
[19:43] <WGGMk> user1: go into Users & Groups... click manager groups.. find the vbox group (whatever installed).. click properties and check its permissions
[19:43]  * combo - bede później
[19:43] <littlerhody> well i dont get an optin for wpa in gui
[19:43] <user1> k
[19:43] <christopher> yes how do i go in and change that
[19:43] <user1> WGGMk k
[19:43] <littlerhody> only wep and LEAP
[19:43] <crazytalk> guja_nebeska_: sorry i do not, i am nubcakes
[19:44] <WGGMk> user1: YOUR user is in the vbox group.. vbox controlls the application... you conform to the vbox user permissions when using it
[19:44] <adam_> christopher, you need to go in, and either delete that repo, and redo it, which is in the synaptic package manager, then repos
[19:44] <adam_> littlerhody, wpa is picky, let me look at it for a second
[19:44] <crazytalk> shouldn't i be able to get by this window in zorg config? http://imagebin.org/16583 | also, can i copy and paste multiple lines of text into bash?
[19:44] <littlerhody> if i go into manual config i can pick wpa2 but how do i connect after that?
[19:44] <crazytalk> s/xorg/zorg :)
[19:45] <sn3ipen> Hi
[19:45] <adam_> littlerhody, that is how you configure it, manual
[19:45] <crazytalk> when i hit enter, nothing happens, i thought enter would activate the OK button
[19:45] <linkinxp> hi
[19:45] <WGGMk> littlerhody: your router would have to be transmitting wpa2 authentication
[19:45] <user1> WGGMk i can see the vboxusers group but how can i see its access and modify it?
[19:45] <erUSUL> Yazan`: where did you get the deb package ?
[19:45] <littlerhody> after i configure it in manual how do i initiate a connection to it
[19:45] <WGGMk> user1: click properties, who's in the group?
[19:45] <sn3ipen> Is there any pink icon set i can use in Gnome?? Something Human stye or anything??
[19:45] <adam_> littlerhody, since you already have a good signal coming in, it will automatically connect after you exit x, which is control alt backspace
[19:46] <Yazan`> erUSUL: sourceforge. The same package you get from speedtouch.com
[19:46] <rwycuff> guja_nebraska_:you have to use bootcamp to make the partition then hold control c to boot to cd and install it
[19:46] <user1> WGGMk i get modify and del options only
[19:46] <PedanticSteve> user1: I just signed on so I may have missed your earlier part of the conversation, but have you looked at http://howtoforge.com/virtualbox_ubuntu.  It walks you through setting up vbox pretty well

[19:46] <ubuntu> how much space do i need for /boot ??
[19:46] <user1> PedanticSteve ^
[19:47] <adam_> littlerhody, reboot then
[19:47] <erUSUL> Yazan`: afaik speedtouch modems are supported more or less out of the box you only need to put the correct firmware

[19:48] <user1> k
[19:48] <adam_> WGGMk, he had an issue where he didnt configure the wpa except in command line, which is easy to screw up, so i told him to configure it in the gui, and he should get on...
[19:48] <Yazan`> erUSUl: Thanks man.
[19:48] <Dan[Laptop]> I have also tried using the CD checking option in the menu, but I get the same result

[19:49] <tom_> I tried asking in samba, but no response. Is there a way to use normal linux authentication in samba? I'd like to have the username/password I use to log onto the box be the same I use for samba -- regardless if I change my login password.
[19:49] <talntid> How do I exit the Xserver back to a terminal? I need to completely shut down xserver...
[19:49] <Odd-rationale> gnubuntu: no. on the 24th
[19:49] <reasons> talntid, you could just switch to a tty
[19:49] <talntid> reasons: but it keeps the xserver running..
[19:49] <kranny> What i meant was kernel shouldn't load the usb module
[19:50] <gnubuntu> ﻿Odd-rationale: i mean the ati catalyst driver :)
[19:50] <gnubuntu> for linux
[19:50] <reasons> As in you want no X running at all? Stop the GDM daemon then killall X
[19:50] <Odd-rationale> gnubuntu: soryy. missread your question. see #ubuntu+1 for hardy supportr
[19:50] <ecker> how should i partition a 250gb single boot for ubuntu? anyone have any good ideas?
[19:50] <gnubuntu> ﻿Odd-rationale: ok sorry.
[19:51] <dagaka> what can I use to rip my CD's to MP3's in Ubuntu?
[19:51] <adam_> ecker, i always partition drives, because you only want the os on a drive itself, keep your personal stuff on another partition, that way its there if you have to slick the os
[19:51] <Moridin333> ecker do you want any other os to run?
[19:51] <Odd-rationale> ecker: something like 20gb / 2gb swap and the rest for home would be the way I'd do it
[19:51] <reasons> dagaka, use sound-juicer as it comes by default
[19:51] <dagaka> thanks reasons
[19:51] <talntid> reasons: any way to shut it down cleanly?
[19:51] <WGGMk> user1: any luck?
[19:52] <reasons> Killing the GDM (sudo /etc/ini.t/gdm) sould be about as clean as it gets.

[19:53] <kranny>  how do i disable my usb device in ubuntu..?What i meant was kernel shouldn't load the usb module
[19:53] <ecker> Odd-rationale how much does /boot need?
[19:53] <WGGMk> adam_: dont wanna sound like a d#ck but I also just google it.. they have their own repo's and its just apt-get after that
[19:53] <jga23> is there any way to send a keystroke to an application? (like send F5 to firefox)
[19:53] <SnakeArt> Hi, everyone!
[19:53] <Odd-rationale> ecker: you don't really need a separate /boot partition
[19:54] <kkaefer> hi
[19:54] <adam_> WGGMk, thats all good bro, thanks alot.
[19:54] <Moridin333> hello
[19:54] <WGGMk> adam_: np, just google "awn ubuntu" and you'll get it
[19:54] <robewald> hello, what exactly means wmaster: unknown hardware address type 801
[19:54] <Odd-rationale> ecker: just like a 20gb / (root) partition.
[19:54] <kkaefer> what do I have to do when I want to *remove* software (not installed with apt-get)?
[19:54] <Yazan`> I don't seem to find the package pppoeconf in here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/
[19:54] <kkaefer> I tried running make uninstall
[19:54] <StuckMojo> hi. bout to upgrade to hardy from gutsy. should i use the gui upgrade tool rather than apt-get dist-upgrade?
[19:54] <robewald> s/wmaster/wmaster0
[19:54] <ecker> Odd-rationale gotcha =0)
[19:54] <kkaefer> but it responds with make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[19:55] <erUSUL> kkaefer: manually if the package does not provide and uninstall make target
[19:55] <kranny> how do i disable my usb device in ubuntu..?What i meant was kernel shouldn't load the usb module
[19:55] <jafar> problem wlan access
[19:55] <Xristofer> hey all
[19:55] <WGGMk> adam_: there is also kiba-dock with the physic's engine which is fun to play with like reasons mentioned, but proved a bit unstable for me when I tried it.. might have improved since then
[19:55] <Odd-rationale> ecker: I usually put /home and swap in a extended partition. but that is up to you...

[19:56] <kranny> eruSul:i dint get you
[19:57] <hischild> kranny, checkinstall is a program that creates an installer like result, so you can remove it via synaptic later
[19:57] <erUSUL> kkaefer: you guess ;) really there is no automatic way manually means manually you have to go look under /usr/local/* and delete what you are confident is related to the package
[19:57] <kkaefer> erUSUL: ok
[19:58] <erUSUL> kkaefer: if you want you can read the make file and try to decifer what the install rule does
[19:58] <erUSUL> kranny: sorry the factoid was meant to kkaefer

[20:01] <Radit> How do I assign a shortcut with the superL key?
[20:02] <WGGMk> Radit: trying to lock the screen?
[20:02] <SnakeArt> Please help me with that tablet. I'm in hurry, because i need to prepare some sketches on monday and it would be much easier to draw on screen not on paper, then scan, retouch, etc. That's why I bought a tablet, but it doesn't seem to work under Ubuntu.
[20:02] <Stroganoff> WGGMk: winkey..
[20:02] <Moridin333> Radit: I think you can use the keyboard Shourtcuts section in Preferences
[20:02] <WGGMk> Straganoff: eh?
[20:02] <Radit> WGGMk: I'm trying to use the superL+h to run nautilus
[20:02] <Moridin333> SnakeArt:  You've checked the forums for the same make and model of your comp?
[20:03] <Radit> Moridin333, I already tried that, it doesn't work..
[20:03] <peter_rob> Where can I download a driver for wirless lan?
[20:03] <WGGMk> Radit: ahh nvm.. was gonna comment about Super + L (windows hotkey to lock workstations) lol
[20:03] <Odd-rationale> SnakeArt: have you tried using the 32 bit version? the guide was probably made for 32bit
[20:04] <Moridin333> Radit I know there is a program where you can set shortcuts.  It's not an x program.  maybe xbindkeys? or something?  anybody wanna help me on this one?
[20:04] <SnakeArt> moridin333: I've asked at polish ubuntu channel and I've found how-to at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4253232&postcount=133 . It was looking helpful, but still no effect.
[20:04] <Radit> WGGMk: oww...
[20:05] <Moridin333> snakeart: hmmm.  I wish I could help you but I have no knowledge of tablets.  I'm assuming that the tablet has to be recognized as an input device in xorg.conf
[20:05] <ogra> SnakeArt, which release ?
[20:06] <Radit> Moridin333: I googled it, you're right.. I just want to assign a shortcut with superL, why is it so difficult..
[20:06] <SnakeArt> According to X.org configuration files, i should have file named wacom in /dev/input/, but there's nothing
[20:06] <Radit> :-(
[20:06] <sponzor> if i download beta 8.04, and then after 8 days will i be able to upgrade it to final version?
[20:06] <kkaefer> erUSUL: thanks for your help
[20:06] <Flannel> sponzor: yes
[20:06] <Meroveus> sometimes when I boot into Ubuntu, my sound is not working. usually fixed with a reboot. how can I try to fix my sound otherwise? actually, testing it using gnome-sound-properties produces test sounds, but not by playing music under audacious or videos through totem
[20:06] <erUSUL> kkaefer: no problem
[20:07] <Moridin333> Radit ok I checked it out xbindkeys should do it.
[20:07] <genii> Yes, thats what those wacom entries in xorg.conf are about
[20:07] <SnakeArt> ogra: You mean wacom driver, or kernel?
[20:07] <Radit> Moridin33: To install this program should i run the command: sudo apt-get install?
[20:07] <ogra> SnakeArt, ubuntu :)
[20:08] <Moridin333> Radit I haven't found a front end for it.  that would be a nice little project.  it's probably hard because not many people want to do it so there hasn't been any demand for a nice app.
[20:08] <sponzor> ok
[20:08] <SnakeArt> ogra: 7.10 Gutsy-Gibbon on AMD64.
[20:08] <Radit> Moridin333: WoW, I'm amazed..
[20:09] <Moridin333> Radit yep. sudo apt-get install xbindkeys will do it.

[20:13] <tbnorth> hi all - tracker question: I want to index mh files, but it seems to think they're "Other" (`file` says ASCII mail text).  It's not finding anything => implies it doesn't index "Other"?
[20:13] <Na-Fiann> When opening a rar file of multiple parts, fileroller only shows the first file in it, is there any way for it to show all the files and perhaps extravt only one of them?
[20:13] <ogra> SnakeArt, generally just removing the comment signs from the four ines in xorg.conf should work without further modification if you use a default instally
[20:13] <bews1> I messed up my apt state -- it thinks I have versions of packages installed that I really don't have.  Is there any way to recover?
[20:14] <hwilde> why is dd running, and why is it taking up 40% of my cpu ?
[20:14] <Moridin333> bews1 try sudo apt-get check
[20:15] <ogra> SnakeArt, have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom ?
[20:15] <Moridin333> bews1 if that doesn't help install the packages again with sudo apt-get install * --reinstall

In gimp I see only my keyboard, mouse and nothing more.
[20:17] <SnakeArt> ogra: Yes, and I've seen it too.
[20:17] <Moridin333> sn3ipen try http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/

[20:17] <Moridin333> user1 yes it does
Thans il try that one
[20:18] <ogra> SnakeArt, urgh, including to compile a driver ?
[20:18] <Moridin333> sn3ipen hmm didn't seen any oon http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/.  You might have to google it
[20:19] <moreati> Dumb question: If I drag files from File Roller to a Nautilus window, should those files get extracted to the location in question?

[20:20] <McJerry> ProProductions: To resolve the issue, I edited the myorigin parameter in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file; alternatively you can change the first line of the /etc/mailname file to reflect a resolvable domain name. then postfix should be able to send smtp to remote domain mta's
[20:20] <Na-Fiann> When opening a rar file of multiple parts, fileroller only shows the first file in it, is there any way for it to show all the files and perhaps extravt only one of them?

[20:20] <Moridin333> sn3ipen I think you may have too.  Pink isn't a color in very high demand :)
[20:20] <odder> moreati: I'm not on my gNewSense box atm, maybe you've got an inappriopriate archive type?
[20:21] <moreati> odder: tar.gz, i'll try with a .zip
[20:21] <Moridin333> Na-Fiann is there a .rar file or only .<number> files?
[20:21] <Na-Fiann> only .number
[20:21] <SnakeArt> ogra: take a look at link I've inserted in my last line. I've did it all without any errors. I'm not a programmer and I have no idea what could be wrong. If someone has the same release and the same tablet and he has everything working, so why I had so many problems?
[20:21] <Na-Fiann> no wait
[20:21] <sn3ipen> I<Moridin333>  know but i am working on a pink and black theme so i thought i would need some pink icons
 But thanks anyway
[20:21] <SnakeArt> ogra: in such moments I'm considering to buy Vista:)
[20:21] <linkinxp> where i found statics applets for my wireless connection?

[20:22] <Na-Fiann> Moridin333:  they're all of the type name.part<number>.rar
[20:22] <odder> moreati: another problem might be the directory itself, e.g. a directory you have no right to save files in
[20:22] <crazytalk> i edited xorg.conf with gedit but it won't let me save because of permissions, is there a work around?
[20:22] <Moridin333> Na-Fiann I'm at a loss then.
[20:22] <Na-Fiann> thanks anyway
[20:22] <linkinxp> where i found statidistics applets for my wireless connection?
[20:22] <linkinxp> omg

[20:34] <Vasa> I wanna use linux since 8 years
[20:34] <upyr> bugogagaga

[20:35] <SnakeArt> genii: no such file or directory :(
[20:35] <Vasa> suse 10.1 so laggy with KDE: so kubuntu or ubuntu to start with?
[20:35] <Vasa> I dont wanna delete it 2nd day
[20:36] <Flannel> Vasa: Try Ubuntu first.  Although you can have them both
[20:36] <moreati> Vasa: if you like kde stick with kubuntu. If you prefer things to be simpler try Ubuntu. Either is good.
[20:37] <Vasa> yeah, but I delete suse on the second day due to the lags
[20:37] <Vasa> 'freezes'
[20:37] <moreati> Vasa: how much memory does your computer have?
[20:37] <Vasa> I have an omnibook xe3 gc PIII 256mb ram
[20:37] <Yazan`> guys, why would my two green lights(DSL modem) be on even if i'm not connected to the internet?
[20:37] <Vasa> 8mb s3 video ram
[20:37] <genii> SnakeArt: What vendor id and device id codes does lspci (or lsusb) report for your tablet? Likely udev is not making a /dev/input/ entry because the codes don't match anything in the rules file
[20:37] <ompaul> Yazan`, network and power?
[20:38] <crazytalk> Yazan`: you are connected to the internet! :)
[20:38] <Vasa> :D
[20:38] <Yazan`> crazytalk: Nope
[20:38] <brfitzp> can someone explain to me how to mount a hard drive partition?
[20:38] <Yazan`> crazytalk: I am on windows.
[20:38] <brfitzp> or link me to a guide or something
[20:38] <moreati> Vasa: if you can upgrade the ram then Ubuntu or Kubuntu will do fine. Otherwise you might like to try Xubuntu, which is more lightweight.
[20:38] <Vasa> WinXP run fine,
[20:38] <Yazan`> crazytalk: I am trying to figure out how I can connect with doing some guides. But sadly none work.
[20:38] <crazytalk> Yazan`: i was jk.
[20:39] <Vasa> boot 14 sec
[20:39] <genii> Yazan`: Might depend on what the labels below those lights says as to what it means when they are on
[20:39] <moreati> Vasa: I find Linux a bit slower to boot than Windows sometimes, but once running it feels a bit more responsive
[20:39] <Vasa> yeah
[20:40] <Vasa> Mandrake was cool 6 years later
[20:40] <Vasa> but this suse total crappy
[20:40] <Yazan`> genii: The lights are ON when the computer is connected to the internet. But while it's on, one flashes red.
[20:40] <moreati> brfitzp: Does your hd partition appear in the Places menu?
[20:40] <SnakeArt> genii: lsusb says:  Bus 001 Device 010: ID 056a:0069 Wacom Co., Ltd.
[20:40] <Vasa> ok, thanks
[20:40] <ProProductions> quick Q, can I type a command in Pidgin and get it to post automatically?
[20:41] <genii> Yazan`: That might be the light indicating network traffic is occurring

[20:45] <genii> SnakeArt: That combo does not exist in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules    but you could try adding a line there for it using the others as an example to go by

[20:45] <american> how do i get permission?
[20:46] <__SiftinDotCom> american, how did you open that file
[20:46] <__SiftinDotCom> vi?
[20:46] <genii> Yazan`: If on windows you were using some ISP login process, that likely means you need to set up a pppoe cnnection instead of a ppp regular kind.
[20:46] <moreati> Vasa: how about a floppy drive? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies
[20:46] <american> i just right clicked and opened it with gedit

[20:46] <__SiftinDotCom> its a system level file, which will open readonly by default
[20:47] <Yazan`> genii: that is exactly how it's done. So, I will try this guide?: http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html
[20:47] <__SiftinDotCom> try sudo vi "filename"
[20:47] <american> ok
[20:47] <american> thanks
[20:47] <sjovan> american: try --> sudo gedit /path/to/file/file

[20:51] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know how to uninstall the NVIDIA driver, the .pkg one?
[20:51]  * combo powrócił :D
[20:51] <genii> Yazan`: OK. So ignore the eth0, it is the ethernet adapter.
[20:51] <Yazan`> genii: So when it tells me that it recognizes eth0, it isn't what I need, right?
[20:52] <X_Ghost_X> =/
[20:53] <genii> Yazan`: Correct. You would need eth0 if the ethernet plug is how the modem goes to the computer
[20:53] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: What have you tried so far and what if any error are you seeing?
[20:53] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know how to uninstall the NVIDIA driver, the .pkg one?
[20:53] <moreati> sgtmattbaker: try #nvidia
[20:53] <Yazan`> genii: So, I need to do what that guide asks me to?? Or it isn't the right one?? Many people told me it is.
[20:53] <sgtmattbaker> ok
[20:54]  * combo bedzie później ;P
[20:54] <genii> Yazan`: Judging by that website, that particular modem is a nightmare to set up. If your modem is the kind listed there, yes, use it as a guide.
[20:55] <Yazan`> genii: Yep. Thanks.

[20:58] <X_Ghost_X> i have tried add/remove programs and i am using Ubuntu 7.10

[20:59] <genii> SnakeArt: Also, for any changes you may have made to udev to be effective, udev needs a restart, or the computer a reboot. Did you restart udev or rebot since you followed the original guide?
[21:00] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  let me check
[21:00] <littlerhody> can anyone help me
[21:00] <moreati> X_Ghost_X:  as opposed to 'sun java 6 runtime'
[21:00] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  remove sun java runtime if it is installed?
[21:01] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: no, but it alone is not enough for java in firefox you also need ﻿'sun java 6.0 plugin'

[21:04] <McJerry> i have a cron job setup and /var/log/cron.log reports the job is running as scheduled. it is a php file that overwrites data in a txt file. I have permissions set to 0755 on the php file and 0777 on the txt file and 0777 on the directory they are located in. If I run the php script from the cli it works fine, when ran from cron, the txt file is never overwritten. What could be problem?
[21:04] <SnakeArt> genii: Yes. It was few hours ago when I followed that steps in the guide and I restarted X, just as it was proposed in guide and then I made few reboots. BTW: In xorg.conf I've changed every word wacom to wacom-bamboo. Maybe this will help.

[21:06] <Sake> so I set up samba, but when I go to my samba share in windows and create a new folder, nothing happens on the screen. If I reload the share, the folder is actually created but the screen seems to hang until a reload every time I create something on my samba shares. Is this normal?
[21:06] <tdn> NFS is not acceptable because of it not being encrypted.

[21:09] <DexterF> hi
[21:09] <Moridin333> ouoellettesr I've done it before.  the setup depends on your graphics card.  nvidia or ATI?
[21:09] <moreati> sergiu14: try #gtk on irc.gnome.org
[21:09] <zarvoxbe> who help me to boot from an external hard disk ?
[21:09] <ouellettesr> superactive, yes unless you get the 64 bit version

[21:09] <zucaritas> superactive, yes it is.There are version for 64-bit processors also

[21:10] <zucaritas> any suggestions?
[21:10] <Moridin333> ouoellettesr I've done it before.  the setup depends on your graphics card.  nvidia or ATI?

[21:14] <moreati> mattperry: not that I know of.
[21:14] <Pelo> mattperry, forget it , I tried it , it doesn't work

[21:28] <X_Ghost_X> moreati: only one problem..... I'm not on my linux pc =/

[21:31] <Luke> I'm trying to compile Erlang from source and it cant find my OpenSSL. I have it installed. The erlang configure script says i can use --with-ssl=PATH where PATH is the path to the lib. What should that path be?
[21:31] <Orbixx> /usr/lib/openssl I think
[21:31] <Orbixx> or /usr/lib/ssl
[21:31] <Pelo> Joeseph, are you in gutsy or in hardy ?
[21:31] <Orbixx> go to /usr/lib and have a look
[21:32] <Pelo> Joeseph, try this, alt+f2,  gksu nautilus /media ,  try deleting it from there
[21:32] <Joeseph> Pelo: I guess I don't know.... what's the easiest way to tell?
[21:32] <sub-esc> is there anything that will convert a ppt or odp to avi or mpg?
[21:32] <Luke> Orbixx: ah wtf isn't it finding it there? I just assumed it wasn't there since it wasn't found by default. It may be looking for openssl instead of ssl
[21:32] <Pelo> Joeseph, did yo upgrade to the latest beta , if you did you will know, it doesnT' jsut happen
[21:32] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  what syntex do i use?
[21:32] <linkmaster03> How much free space should I partition for Ubuntu?
[21:32] <Pelo> sub-esc, try avidemux , maybe
[21:33] <Joeseph> Pelo: i did not upgrade to the beta (but I am awaiting the Hardy release!)
[21:33] <Pelo> linkmaster03, 10 gig min but you don'T have much to work with ,
[21:33] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: no syntax, the default is fine
[21:33] <balzac> ebox
[21:33] <sub-esc> pelo: thanks, i'll look at that
[21:33] <linkmaster03> so 40GB would be way more than enough? :P
[21:33] <balzac> anyone using ebox?
[21:33] <Pelo> linkmaster03, I have 10 gig for 1 , 2 gig for swap and 63 giig for /home
[21:34] <linkmaster03> ok thanks
[21:34] <moreati> linkmaster03: 40 GB is _plenty_
[21:34] <Pelo> linkmaster03, 40 gig would be ok to work with
[21:34] <Joeseph> Pelo: move to trash does nothing, permissions 'cannot be determined', and it's shown as a file.....  and double clicking it says "the attempt to log in failed"
[21:34] <Pelo> Joeseph, i'm stumped
[21:34] <moreati> Joeseph: is it on your desktop?
[21:34] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  how do i copy everything? wont let me highlight it all at once
[21:34] <r3b_> Quick Yes or No question: is there a way to enable PAE on Ubuntu without compiling the kernel?
[21:34] <Pelo> Joeseph,  is this folder a symlink to a network share ?
[21:35] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: click somewhere on the background, press crtl+a
[21:35] <Joeseph> Pelo: yes it is- it should be to my windows network
[21:35] <kristofernathan> i am currently trying to install my wifi card using cutter
[21:35] <Pelo> Joeseph,  is it listed in fstab ?
[21:35] <Joeseph> although I can't access it, and I think the program that makes that link can't either
[21:35] <Joeseph> fstab....  what is that?
[21:35] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  not working
[21:36] <moreati> r3b_: unsure, but one of the alternate kernel packages may have it enabled
[21:36] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: be more specific
[21:36] <Joeseph> moreati: it is not on my desktop
[21:36] <Pelo> Joeseph, nvm then,  did you set it up with samba or somesuch ? maybe you need to remove it from samba first and then try to delete it ,  I'm guessing it's locked or something
[21:36] <moreati> Joeseph: hen I'm stumped alseo
[21:36] <r3b_> moreati: just apt-get?
[21:36] <Luke> Orbixx: it's complaining about kerberos not being found
[21:36] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  i tried crtl + A didn't work, tried Crtl + C to copy one, didn't work
[21:36] <kristofernathan> i'm at the last step and when i try to sudo make installfw, i get "if ! [-d/lib/firmware]; then mkdir -p /lib/firmware; fi install -o 0 -g 0 -m 600 bcm43xx_*.fw /lib/firmware"   does anyone know what this means?
[21:36] <X_Ghost_X> in the about:config window
[21:37] <Joeseph> Pelo: that's a good idea: I'll just purge the program I used and see what happens from there.... how do I purge a program again?
[21:37] <Pelo> Joeseph, don'T purge the prog, open it , remove the folder from it , then purge it
[21:37] <xs142> So I got WoW to work with wine and yadi yadi but why does shift+leftclick or ctrl+leftclick not work?
[21:37] <Luke> Orbixx: nm found it
[21:37] <Pelo> Joeseph, and the eaiest way to purge it to use complete uniisntall from synaptic
[21:37] <rwycuff> Why use Ebox Webmin has more features
[21:38] <Pelo> xs142, ask in #winehq
[21:38] <moreati> r3b_: do some reading on the linux-image-server package
[21:38] <Joeseph> Pelo: what is the prog: I'll use synaptic though
[21:38] <xs142> Pelo roger
[21:38] <Pelo> Joeseph, I don'T know what prog you used to setup the network , usualy it is samba
[21:38] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  still not able to copy anything
[21:39] <r3b_> moreati: alright, i found an alternate kernel in my searches, but wasn't sure if this was the route i should go. thanks for the tip
[21:39] <Orbixx> My windows are maximizing underneath my gnome toolbar - hiding my window's title bars from view and access.
[21:39] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: did I say about:config or about:plugins?
[21:39] <X_Ghost_X> you said about:config

[21:41] <SnakeArt> genii: Still there?
[21:41] <Pelo> xs142, it often is,  you need to ask periodicaly and be pateint,  I also recommend you look into the application database on www.winehq.org see if your issue is mentionned
[21:42] <superactive> ZoiX: I have installed the files from the link you gave me, but still no sound
[21:42] <kristofernathan> can someone give me a quick hand with this?

[21:43] <blue-frog> kristofernathan: then what is this installfw?
[21:43] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: that's odd, I was expecting to see that gcj had hijacked the java entry, but there isn't one.
[21:44] <twistage> What should I use to set up a simple internal web server under Gutsy, i don't need PHP or anything. Just actually one simple web page.
[21:44] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  because i removed GCJ and thats why it's not hijacking it anymore (it was)
[21:44] <gregory> twistage: apache2
[21:44] <blue-frog> kristofernathan: have you tried bwcutter from synaptic?
[21:44] <RoAkSoAx> twistage, apache2, nginx (more simple) or lighttpd

[21:45] <Pelo> Cahan, some ppl have been reporting the same thing with Firefox and youtube
[21:45] <kristofernathan> i'm not receiving an error, i just need to know what to do next
[21:45] <gregory> Cahan: difficult because opera is closed source. try opera channel or their forums
[21:45] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: I'm stumped, sorry
[21:45] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  same here it's alright
[21:46] <SnakeArt> genii_:Are You there?
[21:46] <Pelo> X_Ghost_X, what are you trying to do again ?

[21:47] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: never heard of that icedtea stuff when I was on 7.10
[21:47] <X_Ghost_X> moreati:  it's not on there anymore
[21:47] <twistage> Is there anyway to do DNS translation with iptables rather than redirecting to an IP itself
[21:48] <Pelo> X_Ghost_X, I find this very odd cause I don'T have any issues with java on FF , let me have a look at my install
[21:48] <moreati> X_Ghost_X: no, but the wiki page on java says to use it.
[21:48] <Boohbah> twistage: DNS lookup?
[21:48] <Boohbah> twistage: with iptables??

[21:55] <MrGnu> ubotu I feel ignored :(

[21:59] <Ciantic> Uh, what are meta packages? Just wondering why isn't my firefox installation allowing updates to ff 3b5
[21:59] <Pelo> crazytalk, by the terminal do you just mean the destkop or do you mean the text consol ?
[21:59] <Flare183> Ciantic: they are packages, used to install more packages
[21:59] <ompaul> !latest | Ciantic
[21:59] <ubotu> Ciantic: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.

[22:01] <crazytalk> Pelo: i will have to restart then, k?
[22:01] <ompaul> Ciantic, it is not for 7.10 it is in the beta ubuntu you can talk in #ubuntu+1 about that but the other is not going to happen in 7.10
[22:01] <Flare183> ir: you mean the NTFS?
[22:01] <Pelo> ir, it's to set a bootmenu so you can select between booting windows and ubuntu
[22:01] <brfitzp> hey if i take a normal ntfs external USB hard drive
[22:02] <Pelo> crazytalk, why would you have to restart ?
[22:02] <ir> not. ntloader
[22:02] <Flare183> ir: and it is supposed to do that
[22:02] <brfitzp> and plug it into my pc while on ubuntu
[22:02] <magnetron> CJS3141: does iwconfig mention any Access Point? if so, it should be connected
[22:02] <Ciantic> ompaul, oh yeah, I should have mentioned that I use 8.04 beta ;)
[22:02] <brfitzp> will it work?
[22:02] <Pelo> !enter | brfitzp
[22:02] <ubotu> brfitzp: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[22:02] <crazytalk> Pelo: because the problem is gnome-terminal and the screen resolution control panel launch everytime i log on :)
[22:02] <ir> under suse i have the option not to do that:S
[22:02] <ompaul> !hardy | Ciantic
[22:02] <ubotu> Ciantic: 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
[22:02] <TuM4> Can I install build-essential without Ubuntu cd-rom, beceus i lost it??
[22:02] <Flare183> TuM4: yes
[22:02] <magnetron> daemon3: SDK folder? i don't understand
[22:02] <Ciantic> thanks
[22:02] <brfitzp> hey if i take a normal ntfs external USB hard drive and plug it into my pc which is running ubuntu beta 8.04 will it work?
[22:03] <Cahan> TuM4, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the CD line if it asks you for the CD
[22:03] <Pelo> crazytalk, no , do it now , I want to know if it is related to you opening the terminal form the application menu or just opening the terminal
[22:03] <ompaul> Ciantic, and on 8.04 it is already
[22:03] <Flare183> daemon3: sdk folder for what?
[22:03] <ir> just place the grub on the beginig of the root part
[22:03] <bottiger> how do I find out which app are listing to port 80 ?
[22:03] <kyncani> bottiger: netstat or lsof
[22:03] <TuM4> Cahan: Thanks, I will try
[22:03] <Pelo> crazytalk, your actual problem is that the resolution manager opens when you login ? , nvm the rest then
[22:03] <bottiger> kyncani: well, could you help a bit more?
[22:03] <CJS3141> magnetron: OK, is that the way to figure if it's truly connected or not? When it's not connected it's saying "Not-Associated" under access point.
[22:03] <Flare183> ir: you need grub, ntloader will not be able to see ubuntu once it is installed if you ever did install ubuntu without (really this is impossible)
[22:04] <crazytalk> pelo: yes res manager and gterminal open everytime without my wish
[22:04] <ir> I was able to launch SUSE with ntloader
[22:04] <MafiaGuest> hello

[22:04] <Pelo> crazytalk, open  , menu > system > prefs > session,  close everything open on your desktop that you do not want opened when you login ,  including this chat client,   ten on the third tab of session click save session,    ten restart the computer
[22:04] <Flare183> !ask | MafiaGuest
[22:04] <ubotu> MafiaGuest: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[22:04] <daemon3> I'm confused as well.
[22:04] <crazytalk> Pelo: brb!
[22:05] <MafiaGuest> ok
[22:05] <kyncani> bottiger: both netstat and lsof can do it. Google and man are your friends. Take a special look at -t and -p options for netstat and -i option for lsof.
[22:05] <MafiaGuest> so my account was banned for 45 days and right now its been 53 days so wat do i do

[22:08] <kymap> hi all
[22:08] <TuM4> Cahan: Thanks, It works.
[22:08] <Cahan> TuM4, np, glad I could help
[22:08] <CJS3141> magnetron: Anyway, thanks for the help--it must be safe to assume that a "not associated" access point is disconnected. :-)
[22:08] <kristofernathan> after installing the correct firmware for my network card, how do i get it running?
[22:09] <Bagnaj97> looking through dmesg it tries to bring up the 2nd core, but shows the line "CPU #1 not responding - cannot use it."
[22:09] <Bagnaj97> I'm 99% sure it's not hardware related as the cpu was fine on previous motherboard and is still fine under 64bit and under windows.
[22:10] <Pelo> kristofernathan, reboot ??
[22:10] <Orbixx> My windows are maximizing underneath my gnome toolbar - hiding my window's title bars from view and access.
[22:10] <kristofernathan> Pelo: I reboot.  It says the firmware is enabled but I still dont have a connection.
[22:10] <Orbixx> Can anyone help?
[22:10] <steve__> can anyone help me - I am trying to setup a fileshare with samba and I can't connect to my vfat and ntfs partitions over the network
[22:10] <Pelo> kristofernathan, select the correct device from the network manager ?
[22:11] <steve__> hsa anyone ever shared an ntfs or vfat drive with samba?
[22:11] <steve__> *has
[22:11] <cube> is there some kind of script or something for an easy way to setup a reg gutsy install as a webserver?
[22:11] <Pelo> Orbixx, right click the top panel, select properties, select the auto hide, or something ,,  justlong enough for the top panel to hide so you can grab yor window and rezise it to a usable size
[22:11] <Bagnaj97> steve__, you have to ensure that the partitions are mounted as readable for all users
[22:12] <steve__> Bagnaj97 How do I do that?
[22:12] <Orbixx> Pelo: I thought about that - but I want the toolbar to stay there.
[22:12] <Pelo> cube,  there is a sever version of ubuntu ?
[22:12] <cube> pelo yeah but thats not gui
[22:12] <kristofernathan> pelo: where is network manager? i can only get to network settings.
[22:12] <ompaul> !server
[22:12] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[22:12] <Pelo> Orbixx, you can put the bar back after, I'm guessing that the app is not mazimzed it is just sized too big
[22:12] <cube> exactly no gui
[22:12] <Orbixx> Pelo: It's also very difficult to bring the menu out when there's a second monitor above.
[22:12] <Pelo> kristofernathan, it's just called network, under the admin menu
[22:13] <brfitzp> i need a torrent client
[22:13] <Orbixx> Pelo: It happens with every app that maximizes.
[22:13] <brfitzp> best one?
[22:13] <Orbixx> brfitzp: GUI or command line?
[22:13] <Pelo> Orbixx, what is your screen resolution ?
[22:13] <kristofernathan> Pelo: okay this is where i am.
[22:13] <cube> !lamp
[22:13] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[22:14] <pukeko> i have cron woes in dapper - run parts in cron.daily/weekly etc work but i cannot set jobs via user crontab -e
[22:14] <Pelo> Orbixx, and all your aps start maximised oversize ?
[22:14] <kristofernathan> pelo: its just called wireless connection.
[22:14] <Pelo> kristofernathan, further in
[22:14] <jimmy__> hi
[22:15] <Orbixx> Pelo: Not all the time. I think it depends on if they were maximized before they last closed.
[22:15] <kristofernathan> it allows me to adjust the properties but not view my device
[22:15] <Pelo> !hi | jimmy__
[22:15] <ubotu> jimmy__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[22:15] <Orbixx> Pelo: But the issue is, Pelo. I WANT to be able to maximize a window and not have it slide under the gnome toolbar.
[22:15] <jimmy__> thx

[22:15] <daysleepr> hello all, i'm putting together hardware for a new 6.06 server... it looks like raid card support is spotty for the 3ware 9XXX (9650 is what i'm looking at)
[22:15] <Pelo> Orbixx, it shoudlnT' maximeze under the toolbar, let me have a look, hold on

[22:16] <bidget> anyone have experience with xmms? it says I have to configure my sound card but Im not sure where to do that
[22:16] <Orbixx> Pelo: If it helps, I have the nvidia driver installed for a geforce 8800gtx.
[22:16] <Orbixx> And TwinView enabled.
[22:16] <Mike1> hey
[22:16] <Pelo> Orbixx, I figured abot twinview but i donT think this is videocard related
[22:16] <Orbixx> ok
[22:16] <Mike1> does it make any problems to use Synaptic _and_ apt-get?
[22:16] <Mike1> because...there are problems when using aptitude and apt-get
[22:17] <Mike1> thought i heared something about you shouldnt mix packagemanagers
[22:17] <kristofernathan> pelo: when i go in and adjust the settings manually, i still get no real connection. any ideas?
[22:17] <bidget> anyone have experience with xmms? it says I have to configure my sound card but Im not sure where to do that
[22:17] <Starnestommy> Mike1: synaptic, apt-get, and aptitude should all work fine together because they are interfaces to the dpkg backend

[22:18] <eike> hi, i've got hardy and i've got a problem with my mousepointer. there are strange line lying over my mousepointer. a graphics-error and i can't find anything about it with googles help
[22:18] <bidget> uhhhh
[22:19] <mnuaimat> hello everybody
[22:19] <bidget> that was odd
[22:19] <Orbixx> eike: Are your graphics drivers installed correctly? Is your resolution native, etc?
[22:19] <eike> yes, native solution
[22:19] <mnuaimat> can i install metacafe (application) under ubuntu gusty ?? does anyone knows anything about this ???
[22:19] <eike> effects work
[22:19] <Orbixx> Hmm, quite strange.
[22:19] <daemon3> gahndi: Watch you language
[22:19] <eike> it
[22:19] <Orbixx> Have you checked that the cursor file isn't corrupt?
[22:19] <ricket> Are there any downfalls to upgrading 7.10 to 8.04 as opposed to clean-installing 8.04?
[22:19] <bidget> he already left daemon3 haha
[22:19] <daemon3> :)
[22:19] <eike> it's just the mousepointer
[22:19] <daemon3> Oh.
[22:19] <Orbixx> A bit far-fetched, but it's a possibility.
[22:19] <eike> sonetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
[22:20] <Pelo> Orbixx, I've been looking in gconf-editor and I don'T find a setting for this,  try the following,   delete the top panel,  restart the comp,   then create a new panel (right click on the botom panel > new panel , drag it to the top, right click  add to panel , add the elements you wnat )
[22:20] <eike> but the lines are there most of the time and they are annoying
[22:20] <Orbixx> Pelo: Ok, thanks. I just added loads of elements to the panel, too! :(
[22:20] <mnuaimat> is metacafe installable under ubuntu in any way ?? do u know any related package ?? "forget about metacafe-dl"
[22:20] <geert_> hoi
[22:20] <mikeg3> Can anyone recommend a good easy firewall gui for Ubuntu?
[22:20] <Orbixx> Haha.
[22:21] <Orbixx> mikeg3: Tried webmin? It gives a nice gui through a web interface for more than just a firewall.
[22:21] <daemon3> mikeg3: Firestarter.
[22:21] <daemon3> I think that's the only one.
[22:21] <Pelo> mikeg3, do you absolutely need a firewall ? linux isnT' like windows
[22:21] <eike> it's like a new feature in hardy :) i haven't had it in gutsy
[22:21] <Pelo> !enter | eike
[22:21] <ubotu> eike: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[22:21] <daemon3> Anyone know how to install fcsh?
[22:22] <Pelo> daemon3,  open synaptic and do a search
[22:22] <kohvihoor> how do i set up dualscreen with ati card, when i have two different monitors, with different max resolutions?
[22:22] <daemon3> Pelo: No, I mean the actual fcsh from adobe.
[22:22] <Cahan> kohvihoor, I've had success with xinerama
[22:22] <Totem> I would like to take space away from my Windows partition and add it to my Ubuntu partition. I have GParted, but the Windows partition is locked. How should I do this?
[22:22] <eike> i'll try pelo :)
[22:22] <Pelo> daemon3, wine ?
[22:22] <mikeg3> I am switching  from Windoze how safe is Ubuntu...shouldn't everyone run a firewall?
[22:23] <daemon3> Flare183: The inscrutions are posted here: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Compiler_Shell
[22:23] <sachael> Totem: gparted can only operate on partitions that are not mounted at the moment
[22:23] <Orbixx> Totem: Go into your windows partition and resize it.
[22:23] <Cahan> kohvihoor, there was a good how to on the forums IIRC
[22:23] <daemon3> The inscrutions are posted here: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Compiler_Shell
[22:23] <Flare183> sorry
[22:23] <kyncani> mikeg3: firestarter is very easy (gui). Shorewall is good but uses conf files instead, no gui. Try firestarter first.
[22:23] <daemon3> Sorry Flare183.  I forgot to erase your name on that one.
[22:23] <kohvihoor> okay, i'll check, thanks, Cahan
[22:23] <Orbixx> Totem: Use disk management. If that doesn't work, use partition magic.
[22:23] <Flare183> no i got it
[22:23] <eike> is there any other explanation for my strange mousepointer?
[22:23] <Totem> Orbixx: from within Windows?
[22:23] <Orbixx> Totem: Yes. Windows is best at configuring it's own partitions.
[22:24] <Orbixx> Totem: More reliable and quicker.
[22:24] <Totem> sachael: How should I unmount it. Using the unmount option?
[22:24] <karllenz87> hey i am unable to get audio working on my laptop
[22:24] <sachael> Totem: better listen to Orbixx :)
[22:24] <Flare183> daemon3: I am guessing that the zip file is the SDK folder
[22:24] <karllenz87> i tryied the wiki and did wat it said no lick
[22:24] <Totem> Orbixx: On my comp, it is far from quicker. It takes me about half an our to shut down and turn Windows on
[22:24] <Totem> slow, slow startup
[22:24] <Pelo> !sound | karllenz87
[22:24] <ubotu> karllenz87: 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
[22:24] <sachael> !Players
[22:24] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[22:25] <Orbixx> Totem: Start in safe mode - that's always quicker.
[22:25] <coeus82> if I install the beta version of Hardy, will it be easy to upgrade to the stable when it's released?
[22:25] <eike> gna, the mousepointer is not on screenshots :)
[22:25] <sachael> oh, no mpd in !Players? :/
[22:25] <crazytalk> Pelo: ty for help re session manager
[22:25] <Pelo> coeus82, when the official is released it will just be a regular update
[22:25] <Pelo> crazytalk, did it work ?
[22:26] <dubby> hey anyone i have blender, and compiz, and the two are not playing well with eachother, is there a way so that that program is excluded?
[22:26] <Pelo> Orbixx, npm
[22:26] <Pelo> Orbixx, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[22:26] <crazytalk> Pelo: ya :)
[22:26] <karllenz87> that didint fi=x the issue
[22:26] <crazytalk> my ubuntu desktop is starting to take shape
[22:26] <Orbixx> Pelo: Just sharing some images of what's actually happening with the desktop.
[22:27] <Orbixx> Didn't want to spam the links in the channel.
[22:27] <Pelo> Orbixx, links to screenshots are ok butI think I get the idea
[22:27] <kindofabuzz> why are all my desktops "Desk 1"?
[22:27] <eike> oh and it doesn't matter whitch mousepointers i use, the strange lines are always there
[22:28] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, they probabaly aren'T , right click the desktop swither in the bottom panel , select properties, rename them if you have to
[22:28] <Orbixx> Pelo: Ok, I shall try your idea now.
[22:28] <julle_screen> how do i change the password on a user on my computer from the terminal?
[22:28] <Totem> Orbixx: hehe... how do I start in Safe Mode?
[22:28] <kindofabuzz> pelo, when i hover over them they all say desk 1
[22:28] <Totem> And is partition magic free?
[22:29] <Orbixx> Totem: F8 just before it loads.
[22:29] <Starnestommy> julle_screen: 'passwd' for your current user or 'sudo passwd username' for a different user
[22:29] <Totem> thanks
[22:29] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, right click, select properties, see what they are named
[22:29] <Orbixx> Just keep bashing F8 on start up, you can't go wrong.
[22:29] <Totem> alright
[22:29] <Totem> bye
[22:29] <Orbixx> Totem: Partition Magic is not free.
[22:29] <Orbixx> Bye :)
[22:29] <Totem> darn
[22:29] <Totem> why can't I just use GParted?
[22:29] <kindofabuzz> pelo, no way to rename them that way
[22:29] <bidget> partition magic also doesn't work all the time
[22:29] <Pelo> Totem, what are you tring to do ?
[22:29] <Orbixx> Totem: I've had somewhat... Mixed experiences with Gparted.
[22:30] <Orbixx> Totem: If you resort to Gparted, back up crucial data first.
[22:30] <Totem> Move space from by windows partition to my Ubuntu partiions, Pelo
[22:30] <Totem> alright Orbixx, thanks
[22:30] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, reduce the number to 1 then increase it again
[22:30] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[22:30] <bidget> anyone have experience with xmms? it says I have to configure my sound card but Im not sure where to do that
[22:30] <Juhaz> ALWAYS back up crucial data
[22:31] <julle_screen> Starnestommy: Thank you so much
[22:31] <Juhaz> partition magic will kill it just as easily as gparted when excrement hits the fan
[22:31] <Pelo> Totem,  open windows, defrag a few times,   then boot the ubuntu live cd,  open gparted in the live cd,  resize your ntfs partiton to make room ,  then move the ubuntu partiton , and resize it to use the available space
[22:31] <kyncani> bidget: can you play sound with anything else beside xmms ?
[22:31] <bidget> kyncani, yep
[22:31] <nullbnx> ok so im trying to setup my wap (which works perfectly) to have a wep encryption... im trying to use wpa, but i cant seem to get my /etc/network/interfaces configed correctly
[22:31] <bidget> kyncani, that's why Im a little confused haha
[22:31] <kindofabuzz> pelo, nope. still all desk 1
[22:31] <kyncani> kyncani: if it's xmms only, from my experience, it may have to do with xmms using oss while it should use alsa.

[22:32] <kindofabuzz> pelo, yeah.  they do have different numbers cause when select a window a different worksapce i get numbers
[22:33] <crazytalk> Pelo: kk
[22:33] <Pelo> kindofabuzz,  compiz has it's own way to number the workspaces,  because of the cube , try asking about your issue in #compiz
[22:33] <kindofabuzz> k
[22:33] <kindofabuzz> no biggie. =)
[22:34] <kristofernathan> anyone know how to turn on a disabled wifi card (laptop). in lshw it appears as *network: DISABLED

[22:34] <MrPeepers310> hey i have a dell xps m1330 and i can't get the webcam to work
[22:35] <Pelo> MrPeepers310, webcams are notoriously difficult in ubuntu , should be better in hardy ,  but for now try this
[22:35] <Pelo> !webcam | MrPeepers310
[22:35] <ubotu> MrPeepers310: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[22:35] <kindofabuzz> Pelo, i know waht you're saying.  i'm just saying i'm not worried about it lol
[22:36] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, could have fooled me,  you've been asking about it  for an hour
[22:36] <MrPeepers310> ubotu: well supposedly it's supposed to work out of the box
[22:36]  * Pelo exagerates a little for dramatic effect
[22:36] <BarryToeman> nullbnx: does your wireless hardware even support WPA?  I have one card that only supported WEP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[22:36] <kindofabuzz> pelo, huh? i asked one time
[22:36] <Pelo> MrPeepers310, ubotu is a bot, I used it to give you those instructions
[22:37] <Pelo> kindofabuzz, read up a few lines
[22:37] <_> I have a logitech mediaplay cordless mouse and am trying to get the side buttons to work, but according to xev they are buttons 2 and 3, same as the middle and right buttons.
[22:37] <MrPeepers310> Pelo:  yeah.. i got a pm and felt really dumb
[22:37] <Pelo> _ will get himself a real nick if he intends for anyone in here to help him
[22:37] <aiaidevil> Ok I cannot install Ubuntu in my PC. I want to make partitions to make sure I don't remove my current OS. But, I cannot access my hard drive. So I cannot make partitions. I had the same kind of problem when I wanted to install Mandriva Linux. They said it's because I got a DELL computer. So they gave me some easy solution. So, what can I do?
[22:37] <MrPeepers310> Pelo: supposedly the webcam is supposed to work out of the box
[22:38] <ProProductions> Anyone know how I can open and edit a file with a .o extension in Ubuntu?
[22:38] <Pelo> MrPeepers310, look it up in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org , there migth be some instructions for you
[22:38] <balzac> how do I upgrade to server edition of ubuntu?
[22:38] <kindofabuzz> Pelo, so you're saying i asked more than one time? i asked once 11 minutes ago.  you're trippin man
[22:38] <MrPeepers310> ok thanks
[22:38] <user1> if i have the beta now and when the reall hardy comes out. how much would i have to download to upgrade to hardy?
[22:38] <daemon3> What's the name of Ubuntu 8.04?
[22:38] <nullbnx> BarryToeman, yes it does, im running the madwifi drivers and can setup wpa without master mode
[22:38] <balzac> hardy heron
[22:38] <Starnestommy> !hardy
[22:38] <ubotu> 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
[22:38] <Lamego> ProProductions, that is a binary file, object file, something that doesn't have much interest to "open"
[22:38] <mutk> ProProductions, That is assumed to be object file. A binary
[22:39] <underscore> pelo: better?
[22:39] <kyncani> aiaidevil: you can try the beta version, it has a new kernel so more recent drivers. If it does not work, then i'd say you're outta luck.
[22:39] <mutk> ProProductions, You can look at some of it's properties with nm  perhaps.
[22:39] <Lamego> balzac, the "edition" is just a set of packages, you can install the server packages using any other type of install
[22:39] <Pelo> user1,  not much it will just be an update
[22:39] <Pelo> underscore, much
[22:39] <ProProductions> hmm ok
[22:39] <ProProductions> ty :)
[22:40] <balzac> Lamego: that's good to know
[22:40] <ProProductions> back to being busy *afk*
[22:40] <aiaidevil> You sure? You don't have some solution that consists of writing some piece of text before I run Ubuntu?
[22:40] <Pelo> aiaidevil, if you can'T access your hdd,  there isn'T much we can do to help you install
[22:40] <kosmoz> Hi there. Anybody tried using NX on Hardy Heron?
[22:40] <Lamego> !hardy | kosmoz
[22:40] <ubotu> kosmoz: 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
[22:40] <aiaidevil> ok
[22:40] <aiaidevil> thanks
[22:40] <Pelo> !mouse > underscore check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[22:41] <user1> Pelo how much in total will it dl for hardy. will i dl about all the hardy again?
[22:41] <Orbixx> Pelo: Unfortunately - it did not work.
[22:41] <underscore> Pelo: thanks
[22:41] <Pelo> user1, you won't be dling all of hardy again, just the lastest packages that will be different between the beta and the official
[22:42] <BarryToeman> nullbnx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[22:42] <BarryToeman> nullbnx: and http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/802.11i
[22:42] <balzac> I've got questions about setting up networking on Ubuntu. #ubuntu-server is a pretty quiet channel. Where can I find an active channel about networking?
[22:42] <Pelo> Orbixx, it might be related to twinview and the way it handles desktop on two monitors,  try researching it in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org
[22:42] <user1> Pelo ok
[22:42] <CartoonCat> anyone able to help with broadcom wireless (pcie, bcm94311mcg) and ubuntu 8.04 (both 32 and 64 bit) the card is seen and drivers loaded, but it can not scan or connect
[22:42] <user1> Pelo most packages in beta and hardy will be the same i think?
[22:42] <Pelo> CartoonCat, ask in #ubuntu+1
[22:42] <m-c> What is a Free Software alternative to Adobe's Flash infrastructure?
[22:43] <CartoonCat> Pelo, ok
[22:43] <balzac> m-c: the alternatives aren't really viable alternatives yet
[22:43] <balzac> gnash is the player
[22:43] <balzac> the authoring tool is in its infancy
[22:43] <kyncani> balzac: you can ask here, and hopefully someone else than me will hear you cause i'm no network/whatever expert :)
[22:43] <Pelo> user1, beta is the beta for hardy ,  basicaly assume that intead of getting one big upgrade to the official hardy release, you are getting a bunch of little updates o the way to the official release
[22:43] <m-c> balzac: What about using SVG?
[22:43] <robpla> I'm having troubles getting VMware installed. Can anybody help me? I have a  vmware-install.pl file but i'm not able to get installed.
[22:44] <user1> Pelo
[22:44] <user1> k
[22:44] <Pelo> robpla, enable all the repos and you can install vmware-server from the repos without having to resort to scripts
[22:44] <balzac> m-c: depends on what you're trying to do.
[22:46] <BarryToeman> m-c: i think inkscape works with SVG
[22:46] <BarryToeman> m-c: to create/draw, but not animate
[22:46] <Pelo> robpla, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[22:46] <actionshrimp> hi guys, I did an apt-get update, and then a load of updates appeared in the auto-update manager thing. so i installed them. now my nautilus seems to have gone strange.... all my desktop icons have disappeared and when i run nautilus &, a file browser opens and closes about 10 times without me doing anything and the desktop icons kinda flicker on and off as the window appears and disappears
[22:46] <mutk> Pelo, How do you cope? ;)
[22:47] <actionshrimp> also the desktop doesnt respond, cant right click or click and drag on it, like it has crashed
[22:47] <Sake> is there any danger in terms of security if I use 771 as permission bits for my folder? I don't want anybody to see it/write to it except ppl in my group, but I want to be able to assign acls on certain folders, so the execute bit for "other" is necessary. Is this a security risk?
[22:47] <Pelo> actionshrimp, gutsy or hardy beta ?
[22:47] <actionshrimp> gutsy
[22:47] <Pelo> mtkd, with what ?
[22:47] <m-c> There is a fellow looking for technical resources from my LUG, but he wants to focus on Flash technologies.  I am trying to find him a Flash alternative so we can embrace open technologies.
[22:47] <Pelo> actionshrimp, run the update manager again , see if there is anything else
[22:47] <robpla> Pelo. I must say I have installed ubuntu linux a few days ago and this is my first time using it. I really doen't know what repos are. I am really new to this.
[22:47] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: try restarting X before doing anything hard: ctrl + alt + backspace
[22:47] <actionshrimp> hmm, it says up to date
[22:48] <actionshrimp> yeah BarryToeman i tried that, and a full system restart
[22:48] <actionshrimp> same problem
[22:48] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: well, there goes my usefulness
[22:48] <mutk> Pelo, Volume of questions. You seem to be the only one with answers.
[22:49] <actionshrimp> hehe, cheers anyway
[22:49] <Pelo> robpla, repositories are servers with banks of packages for software and such,  taht are precompiled to intall on ubuntu,    if you just installed ubuntu you'll want to enable the extra repositoires,   Menu > system > admin > software sources,  check everybox on the 1st and 3rd tab,  the reload,   then go in  menu > applications> add/remove ,  you'll find vmware-server in there
[22:49] <kyncani> m-c: gnash is the only alternative to flash, but it does not work very well yet.
[22:49] <actionshrimp> with nautilus &, when i type any other command in the same terminal after i've run that i get: [1]+  Floating point exception(core dumped) nautilus
[22:49] <Dephenom> ok i have 2 slight problems at the moment, new Ubuntu user so bare with me, 1) my sound insists on using my laptops speaker even with an external speaker plugged in and turned on, any way of getting my sound to use the external speaker and 2) my wireless seems to crash after an hour or so of no use and I have to reboot the laptop to get it back, anything that I have not done right or need to change?
[22:49] <Pelo> mutk, I just answer those I can as they come
[22:50] <GIn> !flash
[22:50] <mutk> Pelo, It must be tempting to say 'Read the documentation' at some stage.
[22:50] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[22:50] <Pelo> kyncani, gnash is a flash player , not a maker
[22:50] <m-c> kyncani: not so much looking to play proprietary flash files, more to allow web site company to create "dynamic user interface" without having to resort to proprietary solutions
[22:51] <robpla> Pelo thkz!!!
[22:51] <docgnome> m-c: define "dynamic user interface"
[22:51] <m-c> I am not a web developer myself, so I thought I would come here and ask around
[22:51] <Pelo> !sound | Dephenom
[22:51] <ubotu> Dephenom: 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
[22:51] <kyncani> Pelo: i feel like i should have read from the start, should i have ;)
[22:51] <docgnome> m-c: depending on what you want, you could just do... ajax or something
[22:51] <Pelo> Dephenom, once you've reviewed that , come back for the wifi stuff
[22:52] <Pelo> kyncani, read what ?
[22:52] <evilbug> how can i change the font color of the panels?
[22:52] <kyncani> Pelo: i thought he was looking for a flash player alternative, nothing important
[22:52] <Pelo> evilbug,  they are part of the theme , you'd have to change the theme I beleive
[22:53] <m-c> we should get google to move off flash technologies... that would help set a strong precedent.
[22:53] <iGadget> g'night all
[22:53] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: odd.  did you take a look at your logs for errors in /var/log?
[22:53] <Pelo> m-c, write them a strongly worded letter
[22:53] <actionshrimp> BarryToeman: no, any idea which file to look in?
[22:53] <Pelo> actionshrimp, start with thesystem log
[22:54] <m-c> so, to use some of the flash terminology, are there programs that can create content comparable to Action Script ?
[22:55] <m-c> ("click here and get resulting animation")
[22:55] <GIn> where does firefox-3 on ubuntu gutsy look for plugins? Or where in my home dir should I install plugins?
[22:55] <Pelo> m-c,  try asking in #flash maybe they will know
[22:56] <m-c> or #gnash...
[22:56] <dmsuperman> !dvd | dmsuperman
[22:56] <evilbug> Pelo- i have emerald and everything and i've tried to mess around but i haven't managed to change it.
[22:56] <Pelo> evilbug,  manage to change what ?
[22:56] <evilbug> Pelo- panel font color
[22:57] <kristofernathan> anyone know of any fixes for hp pavilion dv6000 series using broadcom wifi? my card is disabled.
[22:57] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: you can look through all of them with 'grep -R "search phrase" *' if you know an exact error or something concrete
[22:57] <Pelo> evilbug, panels are part of gdm themes, not part of the decorators
[22:57] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: grep -R "search phrase" /var/log/* | less
[22:57] <Pelo> evilbug, try and look in gconf-editor in /apps/panel , maybe you'll find something in there
[22:58] <CapaH> What is a good WINDOWS program to use to burn an Ubuntu .ISO for a friend of mine who is trying to get a Ubuntu cd burned?
[22:58] <CapaH> I originally told him to download a trial of Nero but it is taking a long time
[22:58] <Dephenom> Pelo, why is it that Ubuntu does not use my external speakers when plugged in when every other OS i have used works with extrenal speakers correctly?
[22:58] <Pelo> CapaH, anyprog will do , but I think there is one called isoburn that you can get free online
[22:58] <evilbug> Pelo- right.i honestly think that since the panel color can be changed from its properties,they should make it that easy for the font color...thanks.
[22:58] <moya> how can I disable framebuffer during the installation ?
[22:59] <BarryToeman> CapaH: i used to use CDBurnerXP
[22:59] <AutoMatriX> can someone tell me in commandline how to find the word 'speedtouch' in my .xchat2/xchatlogs directory ?
[22:59] <BarryToeman> CapaH: it's also free
[22:59] <CapaH> great thanks
[22:59] <chuy_max> AutoMatriX, grep
[22:59] <kyncani> moya: install with safe graphic mode or use the alternate cd i'd say
[22:59] <Sake> Does samba have a username that it does permission checks agains when I share a folder? That way I don't have to worry about user-level accesses?
[22:59] <BarryToeman> AutoMatriX: grep "speedtouch" ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[22:59] <actionshrimp> jmm
[22:59] <actionshrimp> BarryToeman: can't seem to find anything
[23:00] <Steven> sergevn: i'm still waiting for the housing company to reboot in rescue mode
[23:00] <Starnestommy> AutoMatriX: or grep -inHR "speedtouch" ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[23:00] <AutoMatriX> BarryToeman, that's the anwer I was looking for, thanks
[23:00] <sergevn> Steven: doesnt it come up?
[23:00] <AutoMatriX> Starnestommy, thanks to you too
[23:00] <BarryToeman> AutoMatriX: i am so smrt. s-m-r-t
[23:00] <MiYaRSTiM> kristofernathan: google? "hp dv6000 linux broadcom wifi"
[23:00] <actionshrimp> is there some kind of update-manager revert? ;)
[23:01] <AutoMatriX> chuy_max, I knew I had to use grep but not the whole phrase ;), thanks anyway
[23:01] <Pelo> actionshrimp, no there isn'T
[23:01] <Steven> sergevn: the server doesn't come up, cause of bootloader i think, the rescue process must be done manually.. (someone must instert a cd and press reset :P)
[23:01] <Pelo> actionshrimp, have you rebooted the computer ?
[23:01] <actionshrimp> yeah
[23:01] <Pelo> later folks
[23:01] <chuy_max> AutoMatriX, you can always check the man pages, man grep, there's some good information there
[23:02] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: you can "less /var/log/dpkg.log" to see what was installed/removed
[23:02] <actionshrimp> aha
[23:02] <AHA> actionshrimp
[23:02] <sergevn> Steven: what can i do for you then :)
[23:03] <AutoMatriX> BarryToeman, grep "speedtouch" ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs did not work out :( but Starnestommy's commandline dit
[23:03] <nxusr> am plagued by wireless device irq disabled during boot
[23:04] <BarryToeman> AutoMatriX: you win this time, Starnestommy
[23:04] <jerkface03> Does X11 come prepacked with Ubuntu LTS?
[23:04] <ouellettesr> hello, for some reason my desktop effects cannot be anable anymore, I tried "unsuccessfully" to install two monitors and now Im trying to just get back to normal, but i cant enable "extra" under appearance
[23:04] <JohnRobert_> how can I prevent the password protection window upon coming out of suspend (7.10)? I have it disabled for the screensaver, but it still appears when resuming from suspend.
[23:04] <Steven> sergevn: the usually reboot in few minutes.. -.- however when the rescuecd comes up i'll net to install grub somehow, the rescuecd is a minimal linux distro
[23:04] <AutoMatriX> BarryToeman, no problem ;)
[23:05] <moya> kyncani: what option should I pass to enable safe graphics mode ?
[23:05] <AutoMatriX> the fact is that I whish to enter my modem and to makle a dump of the incoming phonecalls ... I thought I had the explanation in my logs ... but njet, I must have lost it
[23:05] <SnakeArt> genii: Are You there?
[23:05] <kyncani> moya: it's an option when booting the ubuntu cd, the second line i think
[23:06] <genii>  SnakeArt: Yes, just arrived a little while ago from home
[23:06] <mib_576hs0jx> hey guys
[23:06] <kyncani> moya: if you have any problem with graphics, i'd suggest using the alternate cd instead to install in text mode
[23:07] <thoraxe> hey um... i'm having some confusing issues with LIRC.  it is running and all, and using mode2 i am receiving codes from the remote (hauppauge pvr150)... but irw doesn't return anything.
[23:07] <moya> kyncani: I'm installing with the server CD, the option is fb=false
[23:07] <AutoMatriX> Starnestommy, do you think you could help me ? I've got to log in to that thing with a password and and administrator name, then go to the section 'telephony' ....
[23:08] <kyncani> moya: oh, server cd, all right
[23:08] <pharoh> hey,are all desktop cubes alike?as in do they all have the same shape?or do they differ depending on distros?
[23:08] <genii>  SnakeArt: Please remind me what issue I was assisting with
[23:08] <dg10050> Well, I'm stupid. I accidentally changed root's default crontab to /etc/cron.d/crontab on my server, Anyone know what the default is?
[23:08] <SnakeArt> genii: Since that time, I've reinstalled wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom and found on polish ubuntu forum site another "solution". I've followed these steps and failed again, but I've deducted that it may be a problem with lack of wacom file in /dev/input . Few people on that polish forum noticed same lack.
[23:08] <nxusr> am plagued by wireless device irq disabled during boot
[23:09] <genii> SnakeArt: OK, I recall now, the tablet
[23:09] <SnakeArt> genii: :)
[23:09] <jogeek> !
[23:10] <jewjew> !
[23:10] <actionshrimp> aha! BarryToeman, figured out the problem. wasnt to do with the update at all, I'd saved my work to desktop while the upload was going on and there was a dodgy file
[23:10] <chuy_max> dg10050, /etc/crontab ?
[23:10] <actionshrimp> and nautilus couldnt open when i browsed the Desktop directory
[23:10] <actionshrimp> so i deleted the file and now it's fine
[23:10] <ouellettesr> hello, for some reason my desktop effects cannot be anable anymore, I tried "unsuccessfully" to install two monitors and now Im trying to just get back to normal, but i cant enable "extra" under appearance
[23:10] <ouellettesr> *enabled
[23:10] <actionshrimp> thanks for your help though BarryToeman :)
[23:11] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: excellent.  what was the deal with the dodgy file?
[23:11] <SnakeArt> genii: Have You got any idea how to get this file? I mean "wacom" which must be located in /dev/input.
[23:11] <actionshrimp> not sure... some weird inkscape .svg
[23:11] <actionshrimp> inkscape had crashed while it was making it or something though
[23:11] <BarryToeman> actionshrimp: i've never heard of an error like that befo'
[23:11] <actionshrimp> so that should have raised alarm bells
[23:11] <javb> hi, any idea where does openoffice save the default slide template it has? (in ubuntu)
[23:11] <genii> SnakeArt: Please pastebin the contents of that 50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules file for me, along with the output from lsusb -vv     and the results of two commands, : modprobe -l | grep wacom       and: lsmod | grep wacom
[23:11] <actionshrimp> yeah first time it has ever crashed for me
[23:12] <matt_> how can i burn an iso file to a dvd from terminal on a "server install?"
[23:12] <genii> SnakeArt: If the command(s) produce no output tell that as well
[23:12] <kristofernathan> when trying to install cabextract, i use sudo apt-get install cabextract  but it results in "E: Couldn't find package cabextract"  any ideas???
[23:12] <genii> matt_: man cdrecord
[23:12] <chuy_max> matt_, I guess you could use wodim, never used it myself, I use front ends
[23:12] <TailsLinux> matt_: #ubuntu-server may know
[23:12] <user1> why there is a need of trafic shapper .?
[23:12] <erealz> sorry real quick and stupid question how do I make a dir write access?
[23:12] <SnakeArt> genii: OK. Proceeding...
[23:12] <matt_> TailsLinux: i may try
[23:13] <ouellettesr> kristofernathan, try apt-cache search cabextract
[23:13] <jewjew> ouellettesr: what have you done recently that could've stopped it from working?
[23:13] <matt_> genii: thanks, sounds promising...i was tryying dd if of and such, but it didn't want to work
[23:13] <unop> kristofernathan, you have to have the universe repository enabled - see "software properties" in the system/admin menu
[23:13] <dg10050> chuy_max: Actually, after looking again, that was what I had changed it to. It was something else before.
[23:13] <Starnestommy> kristofernathan: is your universe repository enabled in system > administration > software sources?
[23:13] <ouellettesr> jewjew, probably going from vesa driver back to nvidia driver, but i did it before and got back to normal, this time i cant
[23:14] <genii> matt_: You can make an iso from a cd/dvd with dd but to burn from cli cdrecord is tried and good. It has many options, you may want to use google to find some examples
[23:14] <kristofernathan> Starnestommy: yes
[23:14] <erealz> what the command syntax to make a dir writable ?

[23:14] <dg10050> chuy_max: /etc/crontab and /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root are now almost the same.
[23:14] <Starnestommy> kristofernathan: which version of ubuntu?
[23:14] <BarryToeman> erealz: man chmod
[23:14] <unop> erealz, chmod +w dir
[23:14] <LadyNikon> Is gdesklets not a good way to go? because there always seems to be a problem
[23:14] <nuco> join xbins
[23:14] <kristofernathan> the newest version, gutsy gibbon
[23:14] <ouellettesr> kristofernathan, then try it shorter till you get a match, like cabex* or cab* ie. sudo apt-cache search cab*
[23:15] <erealz> thnx unop
[23:15] <matt_> genii: alright...thanks....trying now
[23:15] <kristofernathan> ouellettesr: went as short as cab and got no match
[23:15] <unop> kristofernathan, you might need to run apt-get update first
[23:16] <jewjew> ouellettesr: I'm no help with nvidia drivers.  The first thing I'd do is reinstall them, maybe check and make sure everything is kosher in your xorg.conf
[23:16] <unop> kristofernathan, sudo apt-get update;  sudo apt-get install cabextract
[23:16] <ouellettesr> kristofernathan, also try what Starnestommy said
[23:16] <kristofernathan> that worked
[23:17] <kristofernathan> thank you guys
[23:17] <swatTX> How do I go about giving myself admin rights for my login? So i can set sharing properties for folders for example.
[23:17] <genii> swatTX: Are you using the username you created when you installed? If so you can already use sudo
[23:18] <dg10050> chuy_max: nvm, I fixed it
[23:18] <azexian> hello, I'm getting (dmesg): ath_pci: cannot reserve pci memory region for my wireless card when inserted, it strangly works sometimes, but most of the time, it will just say that as it boots, and again if I remove and reinsert, rmmoding all of the drivers and remoding doesn't seem to help, anyone got any ideas?
[23:18] <DarkLordVenom> how do i disable a network port?
[23:18] <javb> do we have  MS Publisher version in UBUNTU ?
[23:18] <swatTX> genii, I'm trying to make the changes from the GUI though, so no chance to enter sudo... that i know of
[23:18] <chuy_max> dg10050, what did you do?
[23:18] <chuy_max> good
[23:19] <unop_> DarkLordVenom, you disable the service/application that has that port open.
[23:19] <matt_> genii: looks like i got it to work...perhaps
[23:19] <con-man> join #beryl
[23:19] <con-man> mt
[23:19] <DarkLordVenom> what if I don't know what service is running that port?
[23:19] <genii> matt_: Good :)
[23:19] <SnakeArt> genii: 50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom pasted.
[23:19] <swatTX> genii, and to answer your question, yes i am using the username i created on install.
[23:19] <dg10050> Ichuy_max:I  just did crontab -r, since I never edited my crontab before anyway
[23:19] <matt_> genii: however..are you pretty familiar with it?
[23:19] <dg10050> Chuy_max
[23:19] <genii> SnakeArt: And the url is ...?
[23:19] <unop_> DarkLordVenom, find out.  netstat -antp  | grep <portnumber>
[23:19] <Dgro> Hi
[23:19] <Steven> is it safe to dd from a mounted partition?
[23:20] <SnakeArt> genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63469/

[23:20] <jacob_> is archlinux a debian or redhat based package system ?
[23:20] <genii> SnakeArt: Thanks, reading
[23:20] <matt_> genii: but hey...are you somewhat familiar with the program?
[23:20] <unop_> DarkLordVenom, you might also need to run netstat under sudo if the app. is running as another user
[23:21] <Starnestommy> jacob_: neither.  It uses a custom-made one
[23:21] <BarryToeman> jacob_: neither
[23:21] <unop_> jacob_, this is #ubuntu .. try something like #archlinux
[23:21] <BarryToeman> damn!  too slow
[23:21] <SnakeArt> genii: I'll paste next files within a while.
[23:21] <genii> matt_: I've used it but not extensively. I have it on a server making some backups on a schedule to a DVD, thats about it. I'm not familiar with it to the degree of knowing about all the options etc etc
[23:22] <BarryToeman> Starnestommy: now you're beating me 2-0
[23:22] <swatTX> genii, that did it. thanks.
[23:22] <matt_> genii: then perhaps i can ask you this: after the whole "last chance to quit" thing, i get a flashing cursor, i'm guessing that it is burning?
[23:22] <user1>  i have some friends sharing my internet. i have 30k vacant and 3 friends. is there a way that i define the combine band limit for 3 users combined as 30 k . not 10k for each. that way if 2 are  online they can share 15k each. and if all 3 are online. they will be spreaded 10k each in managed behaviour. any way ?
[23:22] <Sake> Is there a samba user that I can chown my directory to and not have to worry about user-level access when I create my samba shares?
[23:23] <matt_> genii: Last chance to quit, starting real write    0 seconds. Operation starts. [now i have a flashing cursor, so is it burning?]
[23:23] <chooch> hey guys
[23:24] <genii> matt_: Yes. It doesn't give much progress indication, I know
[23:24] <matt_> genii: alright, thanks, so i'll let it go and thanks a lot
[23:24] <genii> matt_: np
[23:25] <sergevn> Steven: well you could chroot from that rescue system to your disk
[23:25] <sergevn> Steven: and then rerun grub

[23:25] <Starnestommy> KrazyWolf: this is a channel for Ubuntu only.
[23:25] <unop_> Sake, do users have to logon when they access your samba shares?
[23:26] <sparr_> how can i change the filenames of many files from upper case to lower case?
[23:26] <LadyNikon> kittykitty: this is only for ubuntu help sorry. you are gonna have to wait til someone shows up .. or maybe try #linux
[23:26] <LadyNikon> sorry KrazyWolf^
[23:26] <Steven> sergevn: ok can you please tell me how to do it?.. the server is still down -.- i'll try on my own as soon as possible, i think i must use lilo instead since in thei's image there was lilo installed (don't know why)
[23:26] <user1> i have some friends sharing my internet. i have 30k vacant and 3 friends. is there a way that i define the combine band limit for 3 users combined as 30 k . not 10k for each. that way if 2 are  online they can share 15k each. and if all 3 are online. they will be spreaded 10k each in managed behaviour. any way ?
[23:26] <ch00ch> hey guys
[23:27] <ouellettesr> jewjew, thanks for the tip, as it turned out I was using the failsafe xorg.conf, I then used "dexconf" to generate a new xorg.conf file.
[23:27] <SnakeArt> genii: And the rest of files You've asked: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63470/
[23:27] <|Debian|> i've install GCC .. still get this error .. configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[23:27] <|Debian|> what am i missing
[23:27] <ch00ch> can u please help me with some graphics problem?
[23:27] <Orbixx> Could really do with some assistance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4730387
[23:27] <Sake> unop_: yup
[23:28] <Sake> but when they're authenticated by samba, they fail filesystem permission checks in unix and can't access
[23:28] <Sake> the files
[23:28] <Kill_X> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/218422 <-- since this seems to be a distribution-wide problem (all versions) please respond if you had similar experience, thank you :)
[23:28] <unop_> Sake, so, put that user and yours in the same group, and chgrp the directory to this group
[23:28] <Sake> unop_: it's complex cause there's a good 10 users, each with specific requirements
[23:28] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know why my firefox location bar is messed up? It won't change to  the URL I'm currently at, like for instance if I go to google.com, it should redirect to http://www.google.com/, only the location bar still says google.com (even though it actually went to google.com. Also, when I click links the page goes, but the location bar is still the same
[23:28] <Sake> I'd rather just set up a share and only give access to certain users.
[23:29] <ouellettesr> ch00ch, whats the problem?
[23:29] <Sake> and not have to worry about filesystem level access rights.
[23:29] <BarryToeman> sparr_: gprename can do it, i believe
[23:29] <Sake> samba is really easy to control who has access to what share. and it's alot more maintainable than having to deal with filesystem permissions
[23:29] <genii> SnakeArt: Reading
[23:29] <swatTX> Can someone tell me how I can keep my system sound level from reseting everytime i restart?
[23:29] <unop_> Sake, if you have 10 users wanting access to a directory - put them all in the same group
[23:29] <SnakeArt> genii: And what do You think about it?
[23:30] <Orbixx> Sake: And chown the directory with the group.
[23:30] <Mo> anyone?
[23:30] <caveman26> I have a dell c840 laptop with 512Mb ram, p4 processor, nvidia geforce4 mx440 go video card with 32MB vram, I installed the nvidia drivers, works good for everything but compiz, I want to use compiz but when I start it it bitches about me not having 64Mb vram, I only have 32, it there a work around for that?
[23:30] <Sake> unop_: which works for /directory/d1/, but what if they all have access to d1, but only 2 have access to /user/d2 and 3 other have access to /user/d3 with overlap?
[23:30] <unop_> Sake if you find yourself having complex permissions for all the users, you should 1) rethink how you share files with samba 2) use acls for fine-graned permissions
[23:30] <Starnestommy> |Debian|: probably the build-essential package
[23:31] <Sylphid|work> hello, can someone tell me if the repos for ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server are the same?
[23:31] <Starnestommy> Sylphid|work: they are
[23:31] <unop_> Sake, what is the relation of /user/d2 to /directory/d1/
[23:31] <unop_> ?
[23:31] <Sylphid|work> Starnestommy, thanks
[23:32] <Sake> unop_: sorry, long day, I meant /directory/d2 and /directory/d3
[23:32] <Sake> unop_: I've found a solution with ACL. BUUuuut, it's ALOT more maintainable and less volatile if I didn't have to worry about filesystem permissions and could just tell samba who to allow to which file share.
[23:32] <honkytoke> what are those.. popup-screens that shows up on the screen when you use volume buttons called? -.-
[23:32] <genii> genii: The udev file looks right. The wacom driver exists and is loading. So now please unplug it, then plug it in again. Then pastebin output from command: dmesg | tail
[23:33] <unop_> Sake, samba uses the credentials/tokens of the users logging on - so you need to deal with this annoyance
[23:33] <dmsuperman> honkytoke, on screen displays?
[23:33] <Sake> unop_: I basically do a testparms and see a full and concise list of who has access to what. There's no way in unix filesystem to do that
[23:33] <Sake> I have to check each file one by one, do long audits once a year...
[23:33] <Sake> it's a bitch
[23:33] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know why my firefox location bar is messed up? It won't change to  the URL I'm currently at, like for instance if I go to google.com, it should redirect to http://www.google.com/, only the location bar still says google.com (even though it actually went to google.com. Also, when I click links the page goes, but the location bar is still the same
[23:33] <SnakeArt> genii: Unplug the tablet?
[23:33] <unop_> Sake, !language
[23:33] <Sake> sorry
[23:34] <Lunar_Lamp> !raid

[23:34] <genii> SnakeArt: Yes.
[23:34] <honkytoke> dmsuperman: yes
[23:34] <malocite> hey, can someone try and ssh into my server?  I want to see if I got my router and hosts.allow working properly...
[23:34] <genii> SnakeArt: And then replug it in. Then: dmesg | tail                and pastebin that for me
[23:35] <sparr_> "prename 'y/A-Z/a-z' *" yields "Unrecognized character \xE2 at (eval 1) line 1.", am I doing something wrong?
[23:35] <SnakeArt> genii: Hope it will work.
[23:35] <rathel> I got a question, I'm connected to another ubuntu box through VNC I'm running tightvnc on the remote computer, my Azureus is almost all black. How do I fix this? Do I need to add something to the xstartup file?
[23:36] <unop_> Sake, i do, but make your life easier - if 2 users want to access d2 . put them in a seperate group and give that group ownership of d2, same for the 3 users of d3, if all users want access in d1, make a new group with all of them
[23:36] <caveman26> need help getting compiz going, when I start it in a termanal it say I dont have 64Mb vram, I only have 32, is there a work around for that, video ccard is a geforce4 mx440 go 32Mb

[23:36] <caveman26> everything else 3d works verry good :/

[23:43] <annonymouse> dont think it can be Kris07
[23:43] <jac0b> jappdev: thanks I'll just wait then
[23:43] <honkytoke> any way to change the visual volume display back to a smaller one?
[23:44] <Kris07> So that means I'll have to use Windows right?

[23:45] <SnakeArt> genii: and what do You think? I'm still thinking about what is wrong but nothing comes to my mind:(
[23:45] <annonymouse> looks like you can
[23:45] <malocite> hey, can someone try and ssh into my server?  I want to see if I got my router and hosts.allow working properly...  If you can, please pm me for the ip address and the port, thanks It'll only take a second....
[23:45] <genii> SnakeArt: It sees it etc, but seems to have some issue deciding to make some /dev entry. I can think of no immediate solution since the udev entries lok fine.
[23:46] <dmsuperman> I'm getting static out of my left channel, in linux only. #alsa has no traffic at all,  so I'm trying here.
[23:46] <dmsuperman> What might cause static in just my left channel? I have 5.1, and alsa is enabled

[23:49] <Orbixx> free1: Start Evolution with root priveleges?
[23:49] <battler> hey does anyone know something about a simple squid config.
[23:49] <decay> !lamp
[23:49] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[23:50] <N3wbieferLinux> sudo init 3 = no dice
[23:50] <free1> orbixx: how do you do that from gnome?
[23:50] <free1> Orbixx:  or do it from the command line

[23:50] <skater_tb> Hey is there someone who could help me with installing ubuntu onto a external hard drive?
[23:51] <nickrud> j /#ubuntu-ops
[23:51] <user1>  using linux,i have some friends sharing my internet. i have 30k vacant and 3 friends. is there a way that i define the combine band limit for 3 users combined as 30 k . not 10k for each. that way if 2 are  online they can share 15k each. and if all 3 are online. they will be spreaded 10k each in managed behaviour. any way.i have a dlink switch. and in futer i may take a fourth one and give him a dedicated 20k limit alone. so i need control?c
[23:51] <SnakeArt> N3wbieferLinux: What gfx card you have? In my case (Geforce8600GT 512) all I need to do is enable the restricted drivers and Ubuntu found a proper driver. Just activate it, restart X and everything should be ok
[23:51] <rathel> I got a question, I'm connected to another ubuntu box through VNC I'm running tightvnc on the remote computer, my Azureus is almost all black. How do I fix this? Do I need to add something to the xstartup file?

[23:52] <chains_> i am trying to mount a vdi file in ubuntu. the guide im reading says to open the vdi file in a hex editor. but the hex editor wont open the vdi
[23:52] <TwinX> skater_tb; it's hte same as installing on a regular SATA disk
[23:52] <battler> hey does anyone know something about a simple squid config.
[23:53] <Orbixx> free1: sudo evolution
[23:53] <Orbixx> I would imagine
[23:53] <Orbixx> Let me try, one moment.
[23:53] <free1> orbixx: true.  it worked
[23:53] <free1> Orbixx: thank you!
[23:53] <skater_tb> i tryed a few days ago and the it had an error booting grub and i ended up having to reinstall my laptops operating system
[23:53] <N3wbieferLinux> SnakeArt: 8500GT..not surprised it's not working totally..had to goto prompt on suse and do the same thing. enable restricted drivers from where though?
[23:53] <Orbixx> No problem.
[23:53] <Orbixx> :)
[23:53] <nickrud> free1, sudo evolution is not a good idea in most all cases
[23:54] <nickrud> free1, I just joined so I don't have the backscroll but still
[23:54] <SnakeArt> N3wbieferLinux: What distro and release are You using? Use synaptic and install restricted nv drivers. Should work fine.
[23:54] <Orbixx> nickrud: It was for the intention of a quick, temporary fix.
[23:55] <genii> SnakeArt: If you are willing to try something, let me know
[23:55] <free1> nickrud:  I'm trying to send a file that I need root privileges for.  it is my laptop and can't do it from gnome.  is there a better way?

[23:55] <RyanPrior> Ubuntu should have no ports open, right?
[23:56] <x0x> hey
[23:56] <Orbixx> RyanPrior: Do you mean from the moment of installation?
[23:56] <x0x> how do i install tcl8.4?
[23:56] <TwinX> skater_tb; I installed 8.04 on an external
[23:56] <nickrud> free1, copy the file to a place you can access, sudo cp file /dest/folder, chown <you>:<you> file , then you can send it as yourself
[23:56] <genii> SnakeArt: The current idea I'm having is to make a symlink of /dev/input/tablet     to /dev/bus/usb/001/007               since this is the actual physical location it's at
[23:56] <Starnestommy> RyanPrior: not unless you start a program that listens on those ports
[23:56] <RyanPrior> Orbixx: well, I port scanned myself and there are a few open which I can't explain.
[23:56] <Orbixx> RyanPrior: What ports?
[23:56] <unlink_> how can i get the update manager to use the apt-proxy on my lan?

[23:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tcl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:58] <Starnestommy> x0x: does 'sudo apt-get install tcl8.4' not work?
[23:58] <TwinX> x0x; with synaptic?
[23:58] <NetEcho> !aircrack
[23:58] <Orbixx> Port 445 is SMB, which is installed by default by Ubuntu. Well, the client, anyway.
[23:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aircrack - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:58] <x0x> Starnestommy nope

[23:59] <RyanPrior> Orbixx: How can I find out what is on port 54122? It doesn't respond to an HTTP request.
[23:59] <genii> SnakeArt: Still here?
[23:59] <Orbixx> RyanPrior: Try opening a connection to it with telnet.
[23:59] <Starnestommy> RyanPrior: 54122 might be a temporary port opened by something for it to connect to the internet
