[00:00] <Pixeltime> Channel Poll: What is your current window manager ?
[00:00] <joni_> bachiir.. if I edit this file and re-pastebin it. would you be comfortable reverting to a back up file in the event x did not start?
[00:00] <Bachiir> Yes
[00:00] <Pelo> anyone else getting a "firefox is not responding" when ever they turn FF off ?
[00:00] <frojnd> Does anyone here uses pure-ftpd ? I've checked network and from network isn't anything wrong. Problem is one or more files of config dir. When I try to login from another computer that's what I get: http://pastebin.com/m219cc861 Anyone who uses pure-ftpd welcome and don't feel afraid to reply my q. :) Thanx in advance
[00:00] <joni_> bachiir... i will try to clean up a little... give me a few moments
[00:01] <wild_oscar> were there any changes in samba from gutsy to hardy - my samba doesn't start
[00:01] <Slart> unavailable: well.. apparently the terminal isn't much faster.. 17 MB/s
[00:01] <jessica_> what software connects to ipods on linux
[00:01] <Slart> !ipod | jessica_
[00:01] <jessica_> thanks
[00:01] <JasonWoof> how do I get a list of packages that I've installed? (preferably excluding the auto-installed ones)
[00:01] <gmenelau> i tried to installed the advance desktop effects but all i get is W: Failed to fetch... any one ?
[00:02] <Pelo> wild_oscar,  I recall several ppl asking more or less the same in the first week after the release , so assume it's not just you,   try reinstalling from synaptic and redoing your settings
[00:02] <Pelo> JasonWoof, you might get them from the /var/log/apt/dpkg log
[00:02] <soundray> Bachiir: is this a laptop?
[00:03] <Pelo> gmenelau, might be an issue with the repositories server ,  try sudo apt-get update first
[00:03] <Bachiir> Soundray: Yes, an Acer TravelMate 8204.
[00:03] <will00> is there a relatively easy way to set up lirc?
[00:03] <Pelo> will00, sudo apt-get install lirc ?
[00:03] <JasonWoof> Pelo: only thing I've got it /var/log/apt is term.log (and it's rotated old logs)
[00:04] <Pelo> JasonWoof,  look for dkpg log in the var/log folder then
[00:04] <wild_oscar> Pelo: I'm trying. i've purged, dpkg-reconfigured, removed and installed...
[00:04] <soundray> will00: no, lirc is a pain to set up (the definition of 'pain' being that you will have to read the documentation)
[00:04] <wild_oscar> in both a dekstop and server editions...without any luck
[00:04] <gmenelau> Pelo i tried this but nothing
[00:04] <Pelo> wild_oscar, try starting it from the comand line with sudo
[00:04] <frojnd> Anyone ?
[00:04] <randal> how do i manuly install these pacckages libcairo2 and librsvg2-2
[00:05] <soundray> Bachiir: have you tried disabling fglrx and using the open-source radeon driver?
[00:05] <randal> how do i manuly install these packages libcairo2 and librsvg2-2
[00:05] <Pelo> gmenelau,   man getselection ,  I think that,s the command you want but you'll get all the packages installed
[00:05] <Shpook> I have a 2.5" hdd that I am trying to access via an IDE to USB adapter. This drive crashed in my wife's computer, and I need to extract some data. It's a NTFS drive, and the drive is picked up with lsusb(at least the cable is), but I get nothing with fdisk -l. Is there anyway to force my way into the drive? Or is there no way around it if the drive won't initialize itself?
[00:05] <Bachiir> soundray: no, I haven't tried that.
[00:05] <Pelo> randal, sudo apt-get install ppackage1 package2
[00:05] <JasonWoof> Pelo: ok, found it, I want to know about everything that is currently installed, not what changed recently.
[00:05] <gmenelau> Pelo still pops more Failed to fetch
[00:05] <joni_> bachiir... still working
[00:05] <randal> thz
[00:06] <Bachiir> joni: thanks! I'm still here.
[00:06] <gmenelau> Pelo i write only man getselection ?
[00:06] <Pelo> Shpook,   ,  first open a terminal type blkid to get a list of available partitions,   figure out which one is the one for your wife'S hdd,    you need the /dev/*** addy ,
[00:06] <Pelo> gmenelau, that will get you the manual page for the getselection command
[00:07] <gmenelau> Pelo i see ok thanks
[00:07] <Pelo> gmenelau, sorry wrong command ,  but it is similar to that , maybe it's an option of apt ,  try man apt and check in there
[00:08] <soundray> Bachiir: I would keep this option in mind as a fallback. The way I understand your Xorg.0.log, it's a quirky card that the fglrx driver isn't managing to get the best performance from. OS Radeon is a bit more conservative and reliable in my experience (although you may not get the same effects).
[00:08] <Pelo> Shpook, got the /dev/ addy of the partition ?
[00:08] <Shpook> Pelo: There is no allocation for the drive in /dev/, just sda which is my hdd.
[00:08] <Pelo> Shpook, install gparted and see if you can see the drive with that
[00:08] <Bachiir> Soundray: Thanks for your input. I will keep OS Radeon in mind if I cannot get fglrx working.
[00:09] <Shpook> Pelo: I never thought of that. Be back in a min :-D
[00:09] <Pelo> Shpook, you do realise that I don'T want you to browse your way to /dev right ? this has nothing to do with the folders yet
[00:09] <Shpook> Pelo: I know, I was checking with fdisk -l
[00:09] <Pelo> Shpook, hardware info might also have some details on this
[00:09] <mattg> so many registered
[00:10] <soundray> Shpook: I'm afraid you're flogging a dead horse. Erm, hard disk.
[00:10] <snappo> hi
[00:10] <joni_> bachiir... http://www.debian.pastebin.com/m21386639 but make a back up of your original file something like xorg.conf.old or backup and i assume you know how to make the change from terminal if x doesnt start
[00:10] <Pelo> soundray, flogging dead horse it a time honored tradition,  don'T knock it
[00:11] <Bachiir> Joni: yep yep, thanks a million. I will attempt to restart X with your specifications and (hopefully) will get back to you momentarily with the results.

[00:13] <Pelo> gmenelau, I found the command I was taking about  here > you can duplicate your packages setup by using

[00:13] <danbhfive> Pelo: there is also a !clone ubottu factoid
[00:13] <Shpook> soundray: For the extreme basic, if I get lucky and they just remove the platter and extract the data, and the platter has no scratches
[00:14] <soundray> joni_: I find that weird, too. Haven't got my head around the gutsy-to-hardy changes, either.
[00:14] <grzyb> well no one would share with his /bin directory ? ehh ;\
[00:14] <gmenelau> Pelo how do i do that ?
[00:14] <Shpook> Pelo: GParted is stuck scanning for hardware, and now fdisk -l also hangs.
[00:14] <soundray> grzyb: use the one from the live CD
[00:14] <SnakeArt> soundray: What should I type in /etc/hosts to setup hostname. I have 127.0.0.1 localhost
[00:15] <Shpook> Seems like I'm all out of options now. :-/
[00:15] <Pelo> gmenelau, the instructions were listed right after my original line,   read up,  it's all command line stuff

[00:16]  * SeaPhor thinks floodbot is gonna spank Pelo if he has to post that again, lol
[00:16] <Cubic> mysterioso, yes
[00:16] <joni_> bachiir the results?
[00:16] <unavailable> fat and ntfs are both read/write in ubuntu 8.04 mysterioso
[00:16] <aegzorz> grzyb: yes, linux can read both FAT and NTFS
[00:16] <gmenelau> Pelo it say install to all
[00:16] <soundray> SnakeArt: there should be an extra line similar to '192.168.1.2 othello', featuring your real IP address and hostname
[00:16] <Pelo> mysterioso, ubuntu can read/write ntfs ,  but I don'T trust it ,  fat32 without any issues
[00:16] <Bachiir> Joni: Your cleaned up xorg.conf worked fine. My backup (zerg.conf) was unnecessary; however, the same graphical issues and quirks are present.

[00:18] <luigi_> !it
[00:18] <Pelo> gmenelau, that command is dpkg --get-selection > selection ,   it will put a file in your /home folder with the name selection , that file will contain a list of all the packages installed on your computer
[00:18] <kexp903> hi I just selected to keep my old menu.lst and I can't select the new linux kernel, what should I do?
[00:18] <mysterioso> I am installing Windows XP right now, and was wondering if I should create 2 partitions right now, or wait till I install gutsy.
[00:18] <soundray> _derspankster: right-click the top panel and add the User Switcher applet
[00:18] <danbhfive> SnakeArt: ok, so in your /etc/hosts file, you need to have a line that is: 127.0.0.1 "whatever was returned by `hostname`"
[00:18] <kexp903> in grub
[00:18] <Pelo> mysterioso, make two partitons now
[00:18] <Pelo> later folks
[00:18] <mysterioso> pelo, one NTFS (for windows) and one FAT?
[00:18] <soundray> mysterioso: make one partition, leave space for Ubuntu unpartitioned.
[00:19] <Shpook> Pelo: Okay, GParted didn't pick up the hdd, but fdisk has recognized it as sdc. I just try to force mount it, and its taking a long time, but hopefully it works.
[00:19] <_derspankster> soundray, perfect! thanks
[00:19] <danbhfive> hah! and Pelo is gone!
[00:19] <Bachiir> Nothing huge, but graphical tasks are incredibly slow. For instance, dragging a window across the screen is jerky (perhaps jumping 10-20% of the screenlength at a time,) and buttons which are designed to flash, in openoffice for instance, may take 5 seconds each to change and input is impossible while these changes occur. Based on my fluxbox slit CPU monitor, my CPU is being stressed much more than before my upgrade to hardy. I attribute t
[00:20] <yotsu> what must I do?
[00:20] <soundray> Bachiir: replace line 97 in xorg.conf with Driver "ati"
[00:20] <SnakeArt> Ok. I've solved that. Thank you, guys.
[00:20] <gmenelau> Pelo thanks a lot ....
[00:20] <yotsu> is there a way to get the new kernel back in the grub list?
[00:20] <Bachiir> Soundray: tried this earlier. It wasn't much better.
[00:20] <yotsu> if so how do I edit my grub all over again?
[00:20] <gmenelau> have a nice day or night ..... where you are
[00:20] <danbhfive> yotsu: how did you loose it?
[00:21] <dromer> hmmm, I don't know what happened, but I can't get any output from flash and videos in firefox anymore
[00:21] <soundray> Bachiir: okay, that's the radeon option out of the window
[00:21] <SnakeArt> One more thing. How to install Canon pixma mp210 drivers on 64bit hardy?
[00:21] <yotsu> danbhfive, after the update during the installation a menu popped up and gave me a choice, I chose to keep the local copy
[00:21] <dromer> mpd however can still output over std-out
[00:21] <yotsu> of the menu.lst
[00:21] <joni_> bachiir are you using xgl?
[00:21] <yotsu> which means it is the old copy
[00:21] <Bachiir> soundray: Oh, that's the OS Radeon driver?
[00:21] <dromer> audio-output I mean that is
[00:21] <soundray> Bachiir: have you looked up your laptop on tuxmobil.org or similar? Others must have solved such issues
[00:21] <yotsu> I just need the new one in my grub list
[00:21] <danbhfive> !fixgrub > yotsu or, you can follow the windows recovery option, which just redoes the grub menu for you
[00:21] <yotsu> is there a way to add this?
[00:21] <dromer> alsamixer isn't working anymore either: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[00:21] <Bachiir> Joni: I used xgl at one point but decided it wasn't worth it.
[00:22] <yotsu> how would I do that?
[00:22] <joni_> I have heard  that alot of people experience similar issue with xgl
[00:22] <danbhfive> yotsu: maybe you could reinstall the kernel image?
[00:22] <Bachiir> Soundray: No, I haven't. I will do so now, though.
[00:22] <joshual> anyone pls?
[00:22] <soundray> Bachiir: yes. Btw, radeon is the name of the driver. I just prepended it with OS for open source, it's not an official name or anything.
[00:22] <yotsu> how could I do that?
[00:22] <joni_> soundray bachiir  from my experience fglrx is still the best driver
[00:22] <james_> hello, are there any wireless ninja's here?
[00:22] <Odd-rationale> yotsu: or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ..." it
[00:23] <danbhfive> yotsu: try synaptic
[00:23] <Cubic> Bachiir: have you any idea what's your chipset?
[00:23] <mysterioso> Can I install windows XP on the computer I am using right now?  It has gutsy.
[00:23] <soundray> joni_: I know some chipsets where radeon is definitely better -- e.g. 200M (RS480)
[00:23] <SnakeArt> I need help with installation of canon mp210 drivers on 64bit hardy.
[00:23] <Bachiir> Cubic: My graphics card? It's an ati mobility radeon x1600
[00:23] <matg> anyone know of something like Coldfusion, but free? I would like to run my Java class's on my websites...
[00:24] <joni_> soundray... older or newer? I think i read that radeon doesnt support 3d
[00:24] <duck1123> can anyone recommend a good resource if I need to re-install 64-bit ubuntu over the 32-bit version?
[00:24] <james_> how can I make my wi-fi authenticate over LEAP?
[00:24] <Bachiir> Joni: perhaps I'm still using xgl and am not aware of it, or the remnants of the last installation are causing issues. How would I go about resolving this/figuring this out?
[00:24] <duck1123> I need to know what I can keep vs. what has to go
[00:24] <isleshocky78> Slart: It looks like it might be a bios issue with the computer. They've come out with 4 bios updates, but I can't figure out how to install them without windows.
[00:24] <soundray> joni_: it supports 3D in principle, but not on all chipsets
[00:25] <SnakeArt> duck1123: Hi! I don't know any, but sometimes I think about return to 32bit. You may face some driver problems using 64bit.
[00:25] <sennr> how do i install flash?
[00:25] <joni_> and how does one figure out if they are using xserver-xorg or xserver-xgl... perhaps bachiir didnt make a clean switch back?
[00:25] <Slart> isleshocky78: o
[00:25] <deahl> i just installed xubuntu on eeepc 4g, and i want to change the number of desktops from 2 to 4.  i am accustomed to using gnome, so i don't know where to look...

[00:26] <isleshocky78> I'm following this guide to updating my bios without windows, but the "check to see if it fits" doesn't.  The bios update is too big to fit on a floppy. http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
[00:26] <duck1123> well, I just got a new 64-bit system, and I want to get as much use out of it as possible
[00:26] <Slart> isleshocky78: put the files on a usb stick.. if your computer supports booting from that
[00:26] <isleshocky78> What do I do when the bios update is bigger than 1.44?  Since it's not going on a floppy anyways, can I make it bigger?
[00:26] <isleshocky78> Slart: Got a help for making a bootable usb?
[00:27] <Bachiir> soundray: No such file or directory
[00:27] <Slart> isleshocky78: check out the freedos website.. there was a guide there
[00:27] <sennr> danbhfive: what repository do i need?
[00:27] <soundray> Bachiir: you're meant to create it with touch
[00:27] <SnakeArt> duck1123: I'm using 64bit Hardy-Heron and previously I've had 64bit gutsy. At the moment I'm trying to install the 32 bit drivers for my canon mp210 printer/scanner. It seems impossible and there is no chance to find 64 bit drivers for this device.
[00:27] <soundray> Bachiir: if the parent directories don't exist, you should mkdir them
[00:28] <joni_> and bachiir.. i see in your xorg.conf modules "dbe" "v4l" "glx" "dri" to load... mine is only "glx" soundray can you shed light on these modules?
[00:28] <soundray> Bachiir: 'mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl/ ; touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable'
[00:28] <Slart> isleshocky78: well... I'm off to bed.. good night and good luck
[00:28] <soundray> joni_, Bachiir: not really -- except by gut feeling I'd say they make no difference
[00:29] <isleshocky78> Slart: Thanks for the help.
[00:29] <joni_> i'm gonna google for a sec.. brb
[00:29] <Bachiir> okay, the xserver-xgl directory was missing. touch worked this time.
[00:30] <mysterioso> does ubuntu have the equivalent of Windows service packs?
[00:30] <joshual> hey folks suddenly when i start up gnome nm-applet is asking for su password
[00:30] <SnakeArt> duck1123: my problem is only one of many. I can see only one advantage between 32 and 64bit: memory. On 64bit you may use more than 3Gb of ram, so If You're not a gfx or vfx-freak I will not recommend migration to 64bit.
[00:30] <shashank> [anyone] can i make a cd for gpart, from the cd/dvd maker that comes with hardy?
[00:31] <f0rmat> ok i reconfigured xserver yet it still failz saying system starting in low graphics and it no longer shows NVIDIA drivers in list :S also when i first started system after update the keyboard was set to US which failed also as all the keys were messed up :S what happened please can anyone tell me i keep asking and it remains unnoticed
[00:31] <Carbonflux> mysterioso, it does not seem that way to me, seems like everything updates on a module level
[00:31] <anaran> james_: hi, have you tried Encryption: WPA Enterprise
[00:31] <joshual> help
[00:32] <soundray> SnakeArt: turboprint.de makes payware drivers for Canon printers. MP210 is not currently listed, but you could ask them to support your printer, with a good chance that they will.
[00:32] <shashank> When i make iso cd, with cd/dvd creator do create from image or from file?
[00:32] <james_> anaran, no because the network is 80211x Open
[00:32] <soundray> SnakeArt: *64bit drivers
[00:32] <danbhfive> joshual: whats the problem?
[00:32] <mysterioso> is there any "packages" out there, with non-free software, or open source software, drivers, codecs and stuff?

[00:33] <joshual> danbhfive: yes but it asks for it everytime i start up, when it never has before... its annoying to say the least
[00:33] <SnakeArt> soundray: Thanx,pal. I will ask there, but if there's any way to install 32 bit drivers on 64bit machine, I want to try it. I need that printer in my work, so it's very important for me
[00:33] <joni_> bachiir.. I cannot say with any reason for saying it.. but I would atleast try removing modules "dbe" "dri" from xorg.conf.. "v4l" shouldnt have any negative effects... the other two i am not sure.. i find evidence that "dri" is for AGP cards.... Soundray.. can a PCI card use AGP bus?
[00:34] <soundray> mysterioso: no. Security updates are provided on an ongoing basis. Occasionally there will be 'point releases' of updates, which perhaps are roughly equivalent to service packs.
[00:34] <danbhfive> joshual: how about a clean install?
[00:34] <dromer> aarg, I don't understand why alsamixer doesn't work anymore
[00:34] <joshual> danbhfive: whoa thats a bit drastic, this is a pretty fresh install

[00:35] <danbhfive> joshual: its not that drastic if you have a separate /home partition.  Its actually simple
[00:35] <soundray> joni_: I agree with your suggestion. I think PCI and AGP are completely separate entities.

[00:35] <danbhfive> joshual: ... in that case of separate /home.  But yes, its tough if you dont
[00:35] <joni_> bachiir... are you still with us?
[00:36] <joshual> danbhfive: reinstalling is a last resort for serious issues
[00:36] <Bachiir> Yes, I'm just googling and snooping around myself
[00:36] <james_> anaran, were you asking me for help or trying to help me?
[00:36] <Bachiir> brb
[00:36] <shashank> ANYONE When i make iso cd, with cd/dvd creator do i create from image or create from file?
[00:36] <joni_> Bachiir... i mean whats the worst that can happen? revert to back up.
[00:37] <Vileam> уууууу
[00:37] <Vileam> =)
[00:37] <danbhfive> joshual: not for me.  Its a great resort for pesky, oddly appearing issues.  I can pretty much reinstall, and be up and running in 30 minutes, which can be less time that trying to figure out the issue
[00:37] <Pici> shashank: create from image
[00:37] <shashank> Thank You
[00:37] <anaran> james_: I thought of helping in case you were not aware of chosing the correct encryption type
[00:37] <soundray> danbhfive: there's a fairly straightforward procedure... Resize the old root, create a new root partition, mount the old root as /home and 'mv /home/home/* /home'
[00:37] <joshual> each to his own, its well known that that is a last resort
[00:38] <soundray> joshual: no, it isn't. danbhfive gave you good advice.
[00:38] <james_> anran, I'm pretty sure that if Windows needs "open" encryption, then so does ubuntu
[00:38] <danbhfive> joshual: see soundray 's message
[00:38] <james_> anaran even
[00:38] <joshual> uh yes it is
[00:38] <Ademan> is there anything out there that helps windows users get their feet wet with ubuntu in virtualbox?
[00:38] <joshual> ive been running linux for 8 years
[00:38] <Ademan> or vmware too i guess
[00:39] <soundray> joshual: then don't sell your engrained opinion as "well known"
[00:39] <Ademan> does wubi have that sort of thing?
[00:39] <joshual> soundray: chill out
[00:39] <randal> I installed cairo-dock and when ever i log off or restart computer its not there how do i make it stay there
[00:40] <Cubic> Ademan: installing or just trying out?
[00:40] <joni_> cant we all just get along :)
[00:40] <anaran> james_: I need to go, bye
[00:40] <randal> I installed cairo-dock and when ever i log off or restart computer its not there how do i make it stay there
[00:40] <daemon3> I don't have any sound for KDE-4.  Anyone else having that problem?
[00:40] <joni_> randal... try adding it to sessions?
[00:40] <Storrgie> QUESTION: Is there a UI for linux that is in openGL?
[00:40] <randal>  joni_ how
[00:41] <Ademan> Cubic: installing.  i have a friend that wants to start developing GUI apps in python, but pygtk support on windows is godawful
[00:41] <randal> joni_:  how to i add it to sessions
[00:41] <soundray> Storrgie: compiz-fusion
[00:41] <joni_> use whatever command you use to load it... and go to system perference-sessions
[00:41] <Storrgie> soundray: thank you, any good documentation on installing that windowmanager with ubuntu?
[00:42] <soundray> Storrgie: it's well integrated -- 'System-Preferences-Appearance-Desktop Effects'
[00:42] <Bachii1> Joni: removed load "dri". Restarting X.
[00:43] <Storrgie> soundray: I just bought a dell m4300 with a quadra gfx card... I am hoping it does a really nice job with this UI you speak of
[00:43] <soundray> Storrgie: it'll only work once you've enabled 3D acceleration on the driver side.
[00:43] <Storrgie> soundray: so just install normal ubuntu? no Kubuntu or Xubuntu?
[00:43] <soundray> Storrgie: was Ubuntu pre-installed?
[00:44] <shashank> [anyone] I have made G-parted live cd , how do i use it without using my drive?
[00:44] <Storrgie> soundray: no, I have yet to recieve the machine... shipped out today.... I will format it when she arrives
[00:44] <soundray> Storrgie: I'd say ubuntu, but I'm biased
[00:44] <amstella> shashank : what are you trying to do?
[00:44] <Randuni> hi all
[00:44] <Randuni> I have a question, it's not about ubuntu specifically
[00:44] <Cubic> Ademan: I dunno really, Ubuntu/Debian is pretty easy to install (easier than windows). Just add the required python libs (kde and gtk) and he's good to go.
[00:44] <shashank> amstella, parrition my drive to install vista.
[00:44] <Randuni> but I need a free data recovery program so that I can recover files on a cd
[00:44] <Randuni> it would be nice if it's open source..
[00:45] <soundray> Storrgie: KDE is a bit of a moving target at the moment
[00:45] <Randuni> but it's  not absolutely necessary
[00:45] <cn28h> dd ?
[00:45] <Gralco> shashank you need to use you cd drive to use g-parted
[00:45] <Storrgie> soundray: I am running ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop for VM's and really like it... but with VM you dont get graphics acceleration.... so now that I have that capability I would like to take FULL advantage of it
[00:45] <Ademan> Cubic: oh yeah for sure, it's just he's currently on windows, and i'm trying to figure out the best way to get him ubuntu for development :-)
[00:45] <amstella> shashank : you have ubuntu installed right now and you want to partition your drive to install vista.....is that right?
[00:45] <Randuni> I need it for windoZe
[00:45] <shashank> amstella, yes
[00:45] <soundray> Storrgie: I have reasonably well working OpenGL acceleration in VMware fusion...
[00:46] <Storrgie> soundray: really? i never played with getting hardware acceleration on my VM's... dont really need it for the work i am doing... but i want to make the plunge with linux for good. So I bought a machine for it this week
[00:46] <sudobash> what kind or PC?
[00:47] <soundray> Storrgie: congrats. Try to get a refund for your Windows ;)
[00:47] <amstella> shashank : I will assume you do not know how to edit the MBR so I would suggest this.  use gparted on live cd to seperate 3 partitions, fat32(windows), swap (linux swap), ext2 (linux).  Then apply the partitions and restart the computer
[00:47] <Storrgie> dell m4300
[00:47] <Cubic> Ademan: So you would like a website to install the basic programming env?
[00:47] <amstella> from there install vista first and then ubuntu again
[00:47] <Storrgie> soundray: I didnt think of that!
[00:47] <sudobash> is VMware Fusion free?
[00:47] <soundray> sudobash: no :(
[00:47] <sudobash> how much?
[00:47] <jasonlfunk> Hello - I decided I was going to install windows on an extra partition that I had, and before I was able to install windows it decided it would be fun to delete all of my logical partitions. no data was written to the disk so all of my data is still there. What is the eaiseist way to restore my partition table?
[00:47] <amstella> shashank : if you install ubuntu then vista it will screw up the MBR and you won't have grub installed
[00:48] <Ademan> Cubic: no, just an easy way to get ubuntu into a vm on his machine, since he's certainly not ready to switch
[00:48] <sudobash> i bet it is torrented
[00:48] <bazhang> amstella, shashank unless this is a ssd, then ext3 would be a better choice from ext2
[00:48] <soundray> sudobash: I paid $80 (but I think it's come down since then)
[00:48] <sudobash> does it ever crash?
[00:48] <Storrgie> i paid around 1500, but its an outlet PC... so the same device new would be 2300
[00:48] <f0rmat> hi i forgot the name of the person i was just talking to
[00:48] <soundray> sudobash: no
[00:48] <f0rmat> are you here
[00:48] <f0rmat> :)
[00:48] <shashank> amstella, bazhang ok im confused.
[00:48] <sudobash> but it cant do directx can it?
[00:48] <amstella> shashank : easy; setup your partitions, install vista and then ubuntu
[00:48] <mocha> Does anyone here host their own website on their system?
[00:48] <soundray> sudobash: I've had various issues mainly with vmware-tools -- still not running smoothly in hardy, but no crashes
[00:49] <sudobash> i can mocha easily
[00:49] <sudobash> openbsd/linux/windows
[00:49] <Subway> Hi. I am keep getting an "invalid pointer" error when I start Gaim (through the terminal). What might cause this?
[00:49] <sudobash> and osx
[00:49] <soundray> sudobash: what's directx? Maybe ask in #vmware
[00:49] <snoopcatxl> I started downloading Ubuntu 8 but it got to 71% downloaded then stopped...ANy help
[00:49] <Cubic> Ademan: Oh, just a vm, im way way off topic then :D
[00:49] <sudobash> DirectX vs OpenGL?
[00:49] <cn28h> Subway, sounds like debugging output.. try using pidgin (gaim is now outdated)
[00:49] <PastorBones> how do I disable a cronjob?
[00:49] <amstella> snoopcatxl : use the torrent so you can resume
[00:49] <Subway> snoopcatxl: what were you using to download it?
[00:49] <mocha> sudobash: i have Apache listening on port 80, DNS forwarding pointing to this system's internal IP for port 80, and all I'm presented with is my router login page, what am I missing?
[00:49] <sudobash> yeah torrent
[00:49] <snoopcatxl> =/
[00:49] <joni_> bachiil?
[00:50] <Subway> cn28h: Okay, thanks
[00:50] <rkvirani> So I had to take linux off my hp mininote because the battery wouldnt charge
[00:50] <snoopcatxl> I dunno, I jsut clicked down load, then saved it and waited
[00:50] <snoopcatxl> just*
[00:50] <rkvirani> it said it had 35 hours to go
[00:50] <Lachlan> Hi guys. I'm trying to get my system to use the graphics hardware properly, and it doesn't seem to work. In `glxinfo` is says I'm not using direct rendering. I've set what I believe to be the proper xorg.conf. Does anybody have any insights for me?
[00:50] <sudobash> port forwarding
[00:50] <cn28h> Subway, `a while back gaim was renamed to pidgin btw
[00:50] <sudobash> port forward 80 to ubuntu STATIC IP
[00:50] <amstella> snoopcatxl : are you on ubuntu right nwo?
[00:50] <Ademan> Cubic: :-p, well the ULTIMATE goal is just to get him programming using pygtk, but pygtk seems to be horribly broken, or at least a pain on windows (considering how many dependencies gtk+ has, that kind of stuff without a package manager is nothing short of hellish)
[00:50] <sudobash> and turn off remote management on your router
[00:50] <Subway> cn28h: Yeah. I'm using an older Ubuntu (Dapper) and just wanted to see if Gaim would still work.
[00:50] <Subway> before going to Pidgin
[00:50] <snoopcatxl> yeah, I'm on Ubuntu 7
[00:51] <sudobash> or you can give me your IP address and i will turn it off for you :)
[00:51] <cn28h> Subway, well, does it print the error and fail, or still work?
[00:51] <amstella> 7.10 or 7.4
[00:51] <joni_> bachiil.. whats the results?
[00:51] <Subway> cn28h: It prints the error in the terimanl and gaim crashes after showing the buddy list
[00:51] <snoopcatxl> uhh 7.10
[00:51] <cn28h> Subway, likely to fix it you would have to modify the program source then
[00:51] <rkvirani> Anyone know alot about ACPI issues on laptops?
[00:51] <djzn> is there any application that can do what "Apollo Audio DVD Creator" for Windows can?
[00:51] <Subway> cn28h: Which I  have no experience in :(
[00:52] <stu> can anyone tell me how to change the startup order of applications that are started in sessions ??
[00:52] <amstella> i would installed transmission (sudo apt-get install transmission), then load up a torrent from the ubuntu website and let it go, that way you are not taking up bandwidth on the server and sharing with others at the same time
[00:52] <amstella> snoopcatxl ; that was to you sorry
[00:52]  * cerebrate_ agrees with amstella
[00:52] <snoopcatxl> how do i load a torrent?
[00:52] <cn28h> Subway, pointer is a type of variable that references a memory location in C and C++.  Bad pointer likely means it's pointing to something invalid, which explains your crash
[00:52] <sudobash> i like utorrent in wine
[00:52] <Lachlan> Can anyone tell me how I can find out why my system is not using my graphics hardware?
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !info rtorrent
[00:52] <stu> Lachlan, state your graphics hardware
[00:53] <stu> kinda obvious no?
[00:53] <Lachlan> Intel Integrated, i810 chipset I believe, 945G
[00:53] <Subway> cn28h: Yeah but I dont know C or C++...or any other programming languages.. so I can't actually fix it
[00:53] <cn28h> Subway, yeah.. time to get pidgin then ;P
[00:53] <amstella> snoop : check out isohunt and just type in ubuntu and look for the one with the most seeders
[00:53] <soundray> Lachlan: how did you determine that it's not using it?
[00:53] <stu> Lachlan, ok have you searched syanptics for i810 or similar?
[00:53] <amstella> snoop : easiest and fastest way to do it
[00:53] <pain> Soory, for the question, but can someone help me with the OS install?
[00:53] <shashank> amstella, bazhang so how do i partition the drive with gparted. Do i just put the cd into the drive and then i can start the partitioner?
[00:53] <Cubic> Ademan:  Yes, you need a package manager. :P
[00:54] <Lachlan> soundray: It says it's not using direct rendering in glxinfo.
[00:54] <Subway> cn28h: Alrighty then. =D
[00:54] <Lachlan> stu: I have xserver-video-intel installed, which supposedly has the i810 driver.
[00:54] <Subway> i'll be off -logging out-
[00:54] <PastorBones> virtualmin is killing my server
[00:54] <stu> pain, state the issue
[00:54] <pain> Sorry, for the question, but can someone help me with the OS install?
[00:54] <amstella>  shashank : just put the live cd in the drive and restart your computer and let the cdrom boot
[00:55] <shashank> ok ty ;P
[00:55] <soundray> pain: you need to say what the problem is
[00:55] <pain> Oh
[00:55] <Cubic> Ademan: and pygtk is a mess in linux as it is on windows. it's the same thing
[00:55] <snoopcatxl> what do i do now i put that in terminal?
[00:55] <pain> I get to the boot menu, for Ubuntu or Xp and I choose Ubuntu and it takes me to the shell menu.
[00:55] <stu> Lachlan, looks like you need aiglx http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253856
[00:55] <amstella> shashank : make sure you setup your partitions correctly and just install vista first then ubuntu, easy man don't worry
[00:56] <Lachlan> stu: Thanks I'll give it a try.
[00:56] <soundray> pain: you get a busybox shell?
[00:56] <stu> can anyone tell me how to change the startup order of applications that are started in sessions ??
[00:56] <pain> Yes
[00:56] <randal> How do i get rid of advant-manager
[00:56] <soundray> pain: does it tell you why?
[00:56] <stu> randal, did you install from source?
[00:56] <Ademan> Cubic: ? sudo apt-get install python-gtk2
[00:56] <pain> soundray: no
[00:56] <Ademan> in fact it's generally already installed since most of ubuntu's nice helper programs are written in using pygtk
[00:56] <shashank> amstella, should i partition the drive then format both drivbe and instal vista in one of the drives then instal ubuntu in the other?
[00:57] <randal> stu: idk i want to uninstall it becaus ei installed cairo-dock
[00:57] <amstella> you got it
[00:57] <randal> How do i get rid of advant-manager
[00:57] <stu> randal, fine.. how did you install it? source or package?
[00:57] <randal> probly source
[00:57] <soundray> pain: which version of Ubuntu?
[00:57] <stu> randal, in other words did you download a .tar.gz extract it, ./configure etc?
[00:57] <james_> why won't my wi-fi connect using LEAP?
[00:57] <shashank> amstella, "you got it" was to me?
[00:57] <randal> stu: i think so?
[00:57] <pain> soundray: newest 8.04 (I think)
[00:58] <Bachii1> Sorry to keep the parties involved waiting, but everything works great! Thanks a million!
[00:58] <stu> randal, do you still have the extracted folder?
[00:58] <cerebrate_> james_: what is your wireless card?
[00:58] <randal> um
[00:58] <amstella> shashank : yeah sorry
[00:58] <james_> cerebrate, intel 4965agn
[00:58] <Cubic> Ademan: yes, its easy to install, i just meant the api is still the same ...
[00:58] <poptones> sorry to butt in, can i ask a question about submitting code here? no one in other rooms ever reponds
[00:58] <amstella> shashank : thats exactly what you will want to do in order to enable dual boot
[00:58] <randal> stu: what i did i wrote a code in a terminal and it installed it
[00:58] <amstella> shashank : it will give you the least amount of problems
[00:58] <soundray> pain: which installation method did you use -- booted the installer from CD, or installed from within Windows?
[00:58] <randal> stu: i dont have a tar
[00:58] <stu> randal, where are the instructions you followed?
[00:59] <cerebrate_> james_: not sure, but I know that my intel card is unable to connect to WPA enterprise/LEAP.  however, I have a different intel wireless card.
[00:59] <randal> stu: i talked to people on here and they gave me a sode
[00:59] <pain> soundray: Install from inside windows.
[00:59] <randal> code
[00:59] <stu> randal, did you type apt-get install blahblah ?
[00:59] <randal> stu yes
[00:59] <Ademan> Cubic: oh, i love the api, best way to create GUIs with any language on any platform IMHO
[00:59] <stu> randal, then type apt-get remove blahblah to remove it
[00:59] <james_> cerebrate, do you know why your's in unable to connect?
[00:59] <randal> ill try 1 sec
[00:59] <shashank> amstella, how do i format the lubuntu partition, after i partitioned the drive tho?
[00:59] <Cubic> Ademan: I agree
[01:00] <stu> do I need to tell you to replace blahblah with the correct package name randal ?
[01:00] <cerebrate_> james_: It's something with the drivers in 8.04.  It used to work in 7.10.
[01:00] <bazhang> shashank, choose ext3 not ext2 for the fs for ubuntu (apart from swap)
[01:00] <stu> someone type "stu" please i'm having highlight issues
[01:00] <james_> cerebrate, do you know if support was dropped or if it's incompatable?
[01:00] <forzer> hi
[01:01] <pain> Hello
[01:01] <sergio_> irc://irc.mediairc.net/extremo
[01:01] <amstella> shashank : after you finish installing windows, boot into your live cd again and when you go to install it just click format in the installer
[01:01] <randal> stu: i dont know the code i used to install it?
[01:01] <cerebrate_> james_: no, as far as I can tell, it's a bug, not that support was dropped.  It mainly had to do with switching from a proprietary driver to a new open source driver from intel.
[01:01] <james_> cerebrate, part of me wants to try it with the wired extensions
[01:01] <stu> randal, type dpkg --list | grep avant
[01:01] <amstella> shashank : ubuntu has made it extremely user friendly
[01:01] <stu> paste the output (one line)
[01:02] <soundray> pain: aka wubi -- this is a bit experimental still. Your hardware seems to have problems with wubi. The best advice I can give you is to install Ubuntu on a dedicated partition after booting from the Desktop CD.
[01:02] <shashank> bazhang, amstella, fat32 for vista, and what for linux buntu?
[01:02] <stu> shashank, ext3
[01:02] <stu> shashank, you need 3 partitions by the way

[01:02] <bazhang> randal put that to paste.ubuntu.com not here
[01:03] <cerebrate_> james_: I don't have a working config file.  It still has the problem.  One second while I find the bug report.
[01:03] <stu> randal, type sudo apt-get remove avant-window-navigator
[01:03] <amstella> shashank : check out this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404
[01:03] <amstella> its the beginners thread and will explain a lot
[01:03] <pain> soundray: my computer is really old, I'm suprised it will even install Ubuntu. But I will try this, May I fancy a PM?
[01:03] <stu> shashank, you need three partitions because you need a swap partition
[01:03] <james_> cerebrate, do you have your config file from using 7.10?
[01:03] <Subway> test
[01:03] <stu> shashank, create a third partition the same size as the amount of RAM you have
[01:03] <randal> stu: i uninstalled it but its still there do i have to log out for it to go away
[01:03] <cerebrate_> james_: it's not a config file.  It's the driver itself.  I'm not sure how to use the older driver.
[01:04] <amstella> shashank : no you only need about 1gb of swap

[01:04] <randal> stu: thank you
[01:04] <stu> randal, or right click close or something... must be a way to close it
[01:04] <amstella> and that may be over kill
[01:04] <[omni]> hi, are there any known issues with 2.6.24-18-generic?
[01:04] <Subway> I am going to put Dapper on my iMac G3 and it's supported til 2009. Is this a good decision? I tried putting the 7.10 ppc version and then I got the terminal. Clicked enter.. booted.. then white screen with text like normal.. then loading and then my iMac G3 turned off, which is why I went to an older version.. which I should've just asked in here instead. Is Dapper a good option for me though?
[01:04] <stu> randal, no probs
[01:05] <james_> cerebrate, I understand that it's a problem with the driver, but perhaps I could mess around with the config file. Besides, I can always load the experimental drivers
[01:05] <randal> stu: how do people know so much where did you learn all this
[01:05] <soundray> pain: no, I'm logging off in a minute. Do ask the channel again, though. I'll get the bot to send you a few helpful messages via pm. Also note that there are good video tutorials on the web, e.g. youtube.
[01:05] <soundray> !install > pain
[01:05] <shashank> stu, i have 250 gb HDD, 120 gb for fat32, 120 for ext3  and then 10 for swap?
[01:05] <soundray> !dualboot > pain
[01:05] <stu> shashank, you have 10GB of RAM ?
[01:05] <amstella> randal : read the forums like crazy and read doc's like crazy
[01:05] <soundray> !faq > pain
[01:05] <cerebrate_> james_: I have no clue what config file it would be.  Nor do I know how to switch the drivers.
[01:05] <stu> randal, various places.. IRC, ubuntu forums are really good
[01:05] <pain> Thank you soundray.
[01:05] <randal> stu NERD lol jk
[01:06] <shashank> stu, o no, i have 2gig i think
[01:06] <[omni]> i'm asking because i just installed 2.6.24-18-generic and get a kernel dump on boot. I suspect that it might have something to do with my drive being encrypted but i'm not entirely sure. I figured I'd ask in here, before I started digging some more.
[01:06] <mohamed_> !slim > mohamed_
[01:06] <amstella> shashank : you only need like 1gb, and that may be over kill
[01:06] <stu> randal, geek actually
[01:06] <soundray> pain: good luck!
[01:06] <james_> cerebrate, But I do
[01:06] <pain> Thanks
[01:06] <stu> shashank, then create a 2GB swap partition
[01:06] <mohamed_> anyone using slim window manager ?
[01:06] <[omni]> stu: wouldn't he need 4GB?
[01:06] <Subway> someone answer my question (scroll up)
[01:06] <james_> cerebrate, are you telling me you connected to LEAP via the Network Manager?
[01:06] <randal> stu: now i need help wwith cario dock i got it installed but to add fetures and thems i got this tar
[01:06] <randal> stu: how do i install it
[01:06] <randal> stu cairo-dock-sources-20080528.tar.bz2
[01:06] <shashank> stu, amstella: what is the partition type for linux called aghain ext3 ?
[01:07] <bazhang> Subway, dapper is fine for that
[01:07] <cerebrate_> james_: no.  I'm not telling you to do anything.  I'm just informing you that it might be a bug with the drivers, as I have no clue how to fix the problem.
[01:07] <amstella> shashank : yes ext2 or ext3
[01:07] <[omni]> my understanding is that the linux kernel requires double your memory for swap
[01:07] <stu> [omni], I am not sure what the size is supposed to be... in windows its supposed to RAM + half again, I doubt linux is worse at managing RAM
[01:07] <james_> cerebrate, ok then, thanks for the info.
[01:07] <stu> shashank, swap
[01:07] <bazhang> amstella, ext3 is the recommended ubuntu method
[01:07] <stu> shashank, its in the drop down list
[01:07] <Subway> bazhang: in the future will the newer releases be perfectly fine or will it be sluggish? since i'm using this imac just until i get my computer built but i might just turn back to this imac for backup and/or just for the hell of it :P
[01:07] <amstella> if you have 2gb of ddr ram : you only need 1 gb maybe, you could probably get away with 500mb
[01:07] <[omni]> stu: given the way that the kernel manges memory on linux systems, you *should* have double your RAM
[01:08] <bazhang> Subway, that will be fine for another year or so
[01:08] <shashank> stu, amstella will i still be able to xchat, if i run the os from gparted live?
[01:08] <Subway> bazhang: but will the newer ones work fine?
[01:08] <amstella> the swap is just a reserved ram incase you run out, system processes will use it and then not
[01:08] <stu> [omni], ok then shashank make it 4GB ... I always just use whatever my RAM is never had an issue but I have no idea what the correct size is
[01:08] <selocol> if i want to close a process, such as conky, which is responding perfectly fine, is it safe to use killall conky?
[01:08] <Subway> bazhang: and i think you were the one who told me to get dapper yesterday..
[01:08] <bazhang> Subway, newer ones (like hardy) on that? that is for you to try and see
[01:08] <stu> randal, google for cairo dock ubuntu
[01:08] <BCM43> hi bazhan, i got my xserver to work. i had the latest kernel, but the machine did not know that. thanks
[01:08] <stu> randal, i am positive you will find instructions
[01:08] <yojesus> does anyone use opera browser
[01:09] <shashank> stu, amstella what is the swap file used for?
[01:09] <Subway> bazhang, okay i'll use dapper for now though. thanks.
[01:09] <bazhang> BCM43, nicely done :)
[01:09] <Subway> then*
[01:09] <cerebrate_> shashank: same thing the page file is used for in windows
[01:09] <stu> shashank, when your pc needs more memory and has run out of RAM it starts to use virtual RAM (hard drive space)
[01:09] <bazhang> !swap | shashank
[01:09] <amstella> shashank : its reserved memory
[01:09] <[omni]> amstella: yes, and the way linux uses ram as you file cache (have a look at free(1)'s man page) you can quickly use up your memory as cache. You need the swap space to dump cache should that memory be quickly needed
[01:09] <amstella> shashank : you do not need 4gb of swap, that is crazy
[01:09] <Subway> stu: and swap is awesome
[01:09] <bazhang> shashank, go read that link
[01:09] <[omni]> of course that's only one situation where it's important to have double the memory
[01:09]  * cerebrate_ agrees with amstella.
[01:10] <cerebrate_> I've never had swap larger than 2 gb's
[01:10] <amstella> omni : i agree with you, but he is a first time user and does not need to allocate that much memory
[01:10] <Subway> well i'm logging off. gonna install dapper after it's done downloading on my mom's laptop.. telling her not to close it out and whatnot.
[01:10] <stu> me neither
[01:10] <yojesus> any one has opera broswer because i got a very important question about it
[01:10] <stu> can anyone tell me how to change the startup order of applications that are started in sessions ??
[01:10] <Ademan> why is that guy installing dapper?
[01:10] <stu> lol
[01:10] <Ademan> yojesus: i don't really use it
[01:10] <stu> old skool
[01:10] <SeaPhor> [omni], i have 3gb RAM and 1.5 Gb swap, and i do very well
[01:10] <yojesus> ademan:can you play youtube videos because i cant
[01:11] <Ademan> stu: you know the sessions dialog right? system->preferences->dialog
[01:11] <[omni]> stu: click on the "current session" tab in system>session preferences
[01:11] <libervisco> I have to say Hardy Heron is the most unstable Ubuntu I've used
[01:11] <[omni]> change the "order" number
[01:11] <libervisco> LTS be damned
[01:11] <amstella> libervisco : i agree is awful
[01:11] <PauloZumba> Boa noite pessoal, alguem pode me indicar um softphone decente para sip voip?
[01:11] <Paolo_Riccardo> !grub
[01:11] <stu> ah thanks [omni]
[01:11] <stu> will that change the order it starts in too ?
[01:12] <Ademan> libervisco: i have mixed feelings, it's rock solid on 3 machines i put it on, terrible on this machine (a crappy laptop with failing hardware, so i just assumed it was hardware)
[01:12] <[omni]> SeaPhor: in most cases you'll be fine. but if you run into a situation where you're using all your memory then need to swap (or clear cache) you'll run into issues if the kernel can't kill processes fast enought o mach the demand
[01:12] <PauloZumba> Sorry, hi folks, anybody may tell me a good softphone sip/voip.
[01:12] <stu> damn kiba-dock goes wonky if it starts before some of the gnome applets
[01:12] <cerebrate_> PauloZumba: ekiga
[01:12] <yojesus> how do i change the usplsh screen so when i turn the pc it will have diffrent boot screen
[01:12] <Ademan> yojesus: do you have the flashplugin-nonfree installed?
[01:12] <yojesus> ademan: yes
[01:12] <stu> night peeps
[01:12] <SeaPhor> [omni], sorry, n00b here, but how do i do that?
[01:13] <BCM43> yojesus: does it crash?
[01:13] <Ademan> yojesus: hrm, hardy or gutsy?
[01:13] <yojesus> hardy
[01:13] <libervisco> Now I suddenly have a problem with GNOME (at least I hope it's GNOME limited) where panels don't work (unclickable), nautilus crashes or freezes, firefox and some applications wont start at all.. and all this even after removing .config, .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome and .gnome2
[01:13] <Ademan> yojesus: huh, hold on i'm trying it now
[01:13] <[omni]> the first time i ran into this was when I brilliantly decided that server with 16GB of RAM didn't need swap. Well this server was in part server files over NFS so the memory backed file cache was pretty important. I couldn't figure out why it kept locking up.
[01:13] <BCM43> yojesus: does it crash?
[01:13] <[omni]> SeaPhor: do what exactly?
[01:13] <bazhang> libervisco, there a support question in there or just venting
[01:13] <amstella> i libervisco : thats exactly why i went back to 7.10 - to me gutsy is a rock
[01:13] <Ademan> yojesus: this certainly isn't a *solution* but firefox 3 beta five is AWESOME, it brought me back to firefox after 2 years of using other browsers
[01:13] <yojesus> no i just want to change the boot splash screen because right now it doesnt have one and it makes it feel like it takes longer to load
[01:14] <yojesus> ok
[01:14] <SeaPhor> clear cache,,, and btw,,, my memory peaks but swap never moves,,,???
[01:14] <SeaPhor> clear cache,,, and btw,,, my memory peaks but swap never moves,,,??? [omni]
[01:14] <amstella> firefox 3 is great and it will be great when released but why release a beta version in an official release, that just doens't make any sense
[01:14] <Ademan> yojesus: oh yeah, and it might help even to test if youtube works in firefox 3, since if it doesn't work in either that narrows the problem down
[01:14] <libervisco> bazhang, well to be honest there is.. it's a totally weird issue and came up literally overnight (I don't know if I accidentally did something before shutting down that would cause this, but it's still weird)..
[01:14] <[omni]> SeaPhor: you don't, your kernel clears the cache for you
[01:14] <amstella> it doesn't fully support everything so why release it
[01:14] <yojesus> the viedos work on firefox
[01:14] <yojesus> but not on opera
[01:15] <bazhang> this is getting a bit offtopic-->for chat please head to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:15] <libervisco> bazhang, only thing that did happen is my comp wouldn't turn on properly at first until I unplugged and then plugged back in (a low quality PSU), but I'm not sure how would that cause this, and Fedora which I have on another partition works fine
[01:16] <libervisco> So I'm pretty much puzzled at this point :S
[01:16] <caesa1> HELP! I just spent like three hours filling out a form. After I submitted the form, I discovered that my session timed out. Clicking "back" in a new tab doesn't take me back to the form (with all of the information I filled out). What can I do to rescue the info?
[01:16] <randal> how do i install this tar these are the instructions Download and decompress the source .tar.bz2, move to the newly created directory (cd opt/cairo-dock/trunk/cairo-dock) and type:
[01:16] <randal> autoreconf -isvf && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make
[01:16] <randal> sudo make install
[01:16] <SeaPhor> [omni], swap is always at 0% usage, even when memory usage is at 22% by programs and 33% by cache?
[01:16] <[omni]> SeaPhor: the kernel is pretty good at memory management, so it only uses swap if it really needs to. What do you mean by peaks? it's normal for all the memory to be used on linux system if there's heavy file activity. A lot of that would show up as cache which typically doesn't get swapped (what's the point of writing a disk cache back to disk)
[01:16] <bazhang> libervisco, if gutsy is the right choice for you then you should use that; but apart from specific support issues (re: hardy) chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:16] <BCM43> caesa1: There is nothing you can do, and this is not related to ubuntu. sorry
[01:17] <[omni]> SeaPhor: that's not peaking :)
[01:17] <randal> how do i install this tar these are the instructions Download and decompress the source .tar.bz2, move to the newly created directory (cd opt/cairo-dock/trunk/cairo-dock) and type:
[01:17] <randal> autoreconf -isvf && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make
[01:17] <randal> sudo make install
[01:17] <[omni]> you only want ot use swap when you absolutely have to
[01:17] <bazhang> caesa1, you are out of luck.
[01:17] <Ademan> !repeat
[01:17] <[omni]> and preferably only temporarily
[01:17] <randal> how do i install this tar these are the instructions Download and decompress the source .tar.bz2, move to the newly created directory (cd opt/cairo-dock/trunk/cairo-dock) and type:

[01:17] <kdavid>  I am trying to fix my window toolbar so I can open and close it by clicking the x but it is not there I have to go to file then click quit. How do I fix this?
[01:17] <libervisco> bazhang, well it is a support issue and tbh gutsy is a bit too old for me now :S

[01:17] <Ademan> !repeat | randal
[01:17] <caesa1> couldn't I install something that looks through my memory?
[01:17] <caesa1> it's written paragraphs
[01:17] <BCM43> randal: are you getting errors?
[01:18] <randal> idk what to do
[01:18] <bazhang> caesa1, unless it was saved somewhere then no.
[01:18] <SeaPhor> no,,, that reading is now, i have had times where memory was peaked and both CPUs were 80-100% each and still no swap activity
[01:18] <Ademan> randal: have you tried the avant-window-navigator? it's a much better dock in my opinion and you can install it from synaptic
[01:18] <libervisco> What would cause GNOME panels to load, but be unclickable?
[01:18] <amstella> randal : what did you download?
[01:18] <Ademan> libervisco: oooh! i have the same problem occasionally, hardy right?
[01:18] <libervisco> and some programs, like firefox, to not launch..
[01:18] <SeaPhor> no,,, that reading is now, i have had times where memory was peaked and both CPUs were 80-100% each and still no swap activity [omni]
[01:18] <libervisco> Ademan, yes
[01:19] <randal> cairo-dock-sources-20080528.tar.bz2
[01:19] <[omni]> SeaPhor: if you needed swap you would have swapped. Again, cache typcially does not get swapped. And CPU activity has no impact on whether or not you swap
[01:19] <neofax> hello everyone!
[01:19] <Ademan> libervisco: is it at startup? because i get it *occasionally* throughought use, and just reboot
[01:19] <amstella> Seaphor : i agree with you.  They are talking way to much swap
[01:19] <amstella> its wasting space
[01:19] <neofax> Anyone using a HD-DVD drive in Hardy?
[01:19] <james_> If i get an error stating; Unable to resolve host MyComputer when running a command as Sudo, what's the likely issue?
[01:19] <Taz> hi all
[01:19] <libervisco> Adeene, well right after I enter password and log in, but reboots didn't help..
[01:19] <BCM43> !compile | randal
[01:20] <randal> how do you do this move to the newly created directory (cd opt/cairo-dock/trunk/cairo-dock)
[01:20] <BCM43> randal: cd
[01:20] <libervisco> Ademan, well right after I enter password and log in, but reboots didn't help..
[01:20] <Adeene> libervisco, O.o'
[01:20] <libervisco> sorry :)
[01:20] <Daisuke_Ido> randal: add a / before opt
[01:20] <[omni]> amstella: it's like insurance. it's only a waste until the day you need it. in MOST cases, you won't need that swap, but IF/(when) you do and it's not there, your kernel will try to kill processes to keep itself alive before it locks.
[01:20] <randal> oh ok
[01:21] <Taz> Are repositories of ru translation avaible? my omputer didn\t regonise ip =\
[01:21] <libervisco> Ademan, and even after deleting gnome, gconf and .config conf folders it's still happening..
[01:21] <caesa1> Is there any tool that allows me to look at everything that's on my memory?
[01:21] <amstella> omni : no your right, but come on, 4 gb of swap.  I can understand under different situations but not for a normal user
[01:21] <amstella> omni : its better to have it than that, but its def doesn't make sense to overkill
[01:22] <amstella> omni : sorry, better to have it than not
[01:22] <selocol> if i want to close a process, such as conky, which is responding perfectly fine, is it safe to use killall conky?
[01:22] <[omni]> heh... i totally forgot about my question. Anyone in here having issues with the latest kernel and their encrypted partitions?
[01:22] <neofax> Anyone using HD-DVD in linux?
[01:22] <[omni]> amstella: it depends on your priorities. These days disk space is so cheap, that i don't think going with the safety of 2xRAM is at all overkill
[01:23] <BCM43> amstella: that reminds me, i have no swap on start up. each time i start up i have to run sudo swapoff -a ;sudo mkswap /dev/hda4 ;sudo swapon /dev/hda4.
[01:23] <amstella> omni : its cheap i know, but would you use a double double to be safe or a double to allocate memory.  Only use what you need
[01:23] <BCM43> neofax: is anyone using hddvd in general?
[01:23] <[omni]> BCM43: if you don't have swap, why do you swapoff?
[01:24] <[omni]> and what tool are you using to see if you ahve swap or not?
[01:24] <neofax> I have HD-DVD movies and a XBox 360 HD-DVD drive.  Ubuntu help states it could be done on feisty, but I only get errors.
[01:24] <mzuverink> How can I make the boot splash smaller, it is huge on my nvidia card connected monitor, it takes up almost the whole screen?
[01:25] <neofax> Also, HD-DVD movies will only get cheaper until they become collectibles.
[01:25] <BCM43> [omni]: im not sure why swapoff is in there, oops. and i do free | grep Swap and it returns all 0's
[01:26] <Cubic> swapon -s
[01:27] <BCM43> Cubic: Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
[01:27] <BCM43> /dev/hda4                               partition       1650116 52      -1 now i get that, i just ran the other command.
[01:27] <[omni]> you shouldn't have to mkswap everytime... doing a swapon should bring back your swap
[01:27] <[omni]> the question is why isn't it doing so on boot
[01:28] <Cubic> [omni]: righto
[01:28] <[omni]> you're not booting into the recovery mode kernel are you, BCM43?
[01:28] <BCM43> [omni]: well, it it matters, it occationally checks for error with the hard drive, saying it has not been checked for somthing like 32454 days.
[01:28] <BCM43> [omni]: nope
[01:28] <neofax> BCM43: What does your /etc/fstab state is your UUID of your swap drive?
[01:28] <[omni]> wouldn't check swap for that
[01:28] <[omni]> do you have a custom /etc/init.d/mountall.sh ?
[01:29] <[omni]> I'm guess that "hasn't been checked for" is an ext3 thing
[01:29] <[omni]> but i don't use ext3, so couldn't say for sure
[01:29] <BCM43> [omni]: noep
[01:29] <PauloZumba> cerebrate_: What have I that input to call +554163667666? sip:...???
[01:29] <deadlyallance215> is there a good way to get the osx type desktop found in dreamlnux in 8.04
[01:29] <ezzieyguywuf> I couldn't suspend b/c i'm running compiz on an ATI card and aparantly it isn't supported. I've edited my pm-suspend script to replace compiz with metacity before suspending and then to replace metacity with compiz when it resumes. Everything works great when I call pm-suspend from the command line. I cannot, however, get it to work properly using FN-F4 or the power icon. I have edited my hal-system-power-suspend-linux script so tha
[01:29] <radius_> after updating the kernel is there anything else i have to do?
[01:29] <BCM43> neofax: well there we go, there is none. UUID=/dev/hda4 none swap auto 0 0 none swap sw 0 0
[01:30] <[omni]> BCM43: do a grep swapon /etc/init.d/*
[01:30] <neofax> BCM43: You can go to /dev/(I forget exact)/disk-by-uuid and get your UUID for that partition slice
[01:30] <[omni]> BCM43: that doesn't look right
[01:30] <PauloZumba> cerebrate_: ...on ekiga, of course....
[01:30] <[omni]> you shouldn't have UUID set to your device
[01:30] <maybeway36> /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:30] <BCM43> !paste
[01:31] <radius_> im fairly new to linux and have never updated the kernel before... :(
[01:31] <BCM43> [omni]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16720/
[01:32] <neofax> radius_: For ubuntu it is fairly easy.  apt-get update; apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic(if you are running non AMD64 nor server)
[01:32] <BCM43> neofax: where?
[01:32] <[omni]> BCM43: that should read: /dev/hda4 none            swap    sw              0       0
[01:32] <PauloZumba> Anybody uses ekiga to make sip voip calls?
[01:32] <radius_> it wants to update to 2.6.24-18
[01:32] <BCM43> [omni]: how do i fix that?
[01:32] <radius_> this is hardy heron
[01:32] <deadlyallance215> if i have a 32 bit system installed is there a way i can upgrade to 64 bit without reinstalling?
[01:32] <neofax> BCM43: maybeway36 pointed in the right direction /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:32] <radius_> neofax: ty
[01:33] <neofax> just run a ls -l in that directory and it will show you the links based on uuid
[01:33] <neofax> radius_: np
[01:33] <[omni]> BCM43: I would use vi... I think there is a GUI way to edit that... sudo gedit <filename> or something
[01:34] <mohamed_> what is equal for inittab ?
[01:34] <neofax> radius_: Just remember if you have special drivers(ndiswrapper,ATI,NVIDIA) you will need to install their special drivers upon reboot
[01:34] <Broadcom> BCM43 here, my computer crashed, possibly due to the problems with swap
[01:34] <jubalj> Hi guys, I'm having a very strange networking issue and I'm hoping someone might be able to help. When I try to ftp or ping ftp.godzone.net.nz, ubuntu is instead going to ftp.godzone.net (without the .nz), nslookup ftp.godzone.net.nz resolves correctly.. I'm not using and dns cache, and things work fine when i dual boot into windows, or us ip addresses instead. http://paste.ubuntu.com/16721/
[01:34] <radius_> neofax: im using the restricted drivers
[01:34] <radius_> my ubuntu auto updates
[01:34] <Ashe|Happy> hm, what about sound problems? I keep getting roaring along with the sound itself.
[01:34] <[omni]> Broadcom: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak && sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:35] <neofax> jubalj: Run a traceroute and see if one of the DNS servers along the route are messed up
[01:35] <Broadcom> [omni]: hold on, booting up
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom did you fix your swap yet..
[01:35] <Broadcom> Jack_Sparrow: trying now
[01:35] <[omni]> the whole UUID default thing annoys me
[01:35] <neofax> radius_: I am not positive, but I think they will update automatically when you upgrade the kernel.  What do you use the restricted for a vid card?
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom gksudo gedit /etc/fstab                here is mine for an example    /dev/sda6                                   none            swap    sw              0       0
[01:36] <deadlyallance215> can 32bit "see" more then 4 gig of ram
[01:36] <jubalj> neofax: tracert shows me tracert to ftp.godzone.net (even though i ask for tracert ftp.godzone.net.nz
[01:36] <radius_> neofax: i use the restricted driver for the videocard and my broadcom
[01:36] <radius_> it works flawlessly
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] Please use gksudo gedit   sudo gui is dangerous
[01:36] <neofax> jubalj: Along the route though dns servers are pointing you thru the maze.  One of these maybe jacked.
[01:36] <jubalj> neofax: it works find when i dual boot, or do a nslookup, so i'm not sure its a dns server issue
[01:37] <ezzieyguywuf> ﻿I couldn't suspend b/c i'm running compiz on an ATI card and aparantly it isn't supported. I've edited my pm-suspend script to replace compiz with metacity before suspending and then to replace metacity with compiz when it resumes. Everything works great when I call pm-suspend from the command line. I cannot, however, get it to work properly using FN-F4 or the power icon. I have edited my hal-system-power-suspend-linux script so 
[01:37] <radius_> neofax: ie been used to windows :(
[01:37] <[omni]> Jack_Sparrow: heh, i generally don't sudo GUIs
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:37] <neofax> jubalj: OK, then my first answer is wrong if it works fine in windows.
[01:37] <Broadcom> [omni]: i did it, hold on ill put it in pastebin
[01:38] <neofax> jubalj: Are you running any thing like ipblock, privoxy or such?
[01:38] <[omni]> and gksudo doesn't do sudo properly for me. if i run sudo i expect everything to be done as root. gksudo changes that, so it's kinda useless for me.
[01:38] <Broadcom> pastebin.com/m2dc0cf02
[01:38] <Broadcom> pastebin.com/m2dc0cf02 [omni]
[01:38] <[omni]> Broadcom: can you put the original in pastebin as well?
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)  is a cheaters way to do it
[01:39] <jubalj> neofax: no.. idont use any fancy proxy stuff..
[01:39] <Cpudan80> hello all
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] What distro or release are you running
[01:39] <Cpudan80> I'm having trouble with the clock panel applet
[01:39] <Cpudan80> its not updating the weather
[01:39] <radius_> neofax: ima let it update, hopefully i'll be back :)
[01:39] <Broadcom> !hi | Cpudan80
[01:39] <Cpudan80> is there some way to force it to update?
[01:39] <[omni]> Broadcom: that pastebin isn't correct
[01:39] <y_> Hey there. I'm having a problem updating using the Update Manager! (to 8.04). Giving me error "failed to run /tmp/tmp..../hardy as user root. the underlying auth mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact sysadmin =( =( =(
[01:39] <neofax> jubalj: pastebin your output of netstat
[01:39] <[omni]> line 9 specifically is not right
[01:39] <[omni]> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu 8.04
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] anf gksudo doesnt work for you..
[01:40] <DIL> I have been having problems accessing synaptic and update manager as a non-root user with the following error - current dist not found in meta-release file - it turned out that my host name was not listed or had been dropped from /etc/hosts
[01:40] <[omni]> Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't do what i want it to do, so no.
[01:40] <neofax> y_: Is your userid in the file /etc/sudoers?
[01:40] <Simonft> [omni]: it is broadcom: http://pastebin.com/m2dc0cf02
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> DIL You need root/sudo to add software
[01:40] <Guiri> is there a way to let someone watch/observe the console when I'm ssh'd in?
[01:40] <selocol> if i want to close a process, such as conky, which is responding perfectly fine, is it safe to use killall conky?
[01:40] <[omni]> Jack_Sparrow: it does "almost root". when i sudo i want full root
[01:40] <Guiri> like vnc for temrinal?
[01:40] <jubalj> neofax: ok.. do u want the whole thing?
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] True root is only as dangerous as the person using it..
[01:41] <Ashe|Happy> trying to get the sound to work on ubuntu 8.04 but roaring noise comes through whenever anything makes a noise.
[01:41] <neofax> selocol: Yes, if you want conky killed?
[01:41] <neofax> jubalj: Yes, in pastebin
[01:42] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f58bc573 it is braodcom
[01:42] <[omni]> Jack_Sparrow: I don't want sudo <blah> to look at my configuration files. it's not quite the same as running things as root. I don't know about "dangerous". it's just a matter of which config files are being looked/used
[01:42] <[omni]> Simonft: rever to your old file. the edits you made are incorrect
[01:42] <[omni]> *revert
[01:42] <jubalj> neofax: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16724/
[01:42] <neofax> Simonft: Well, your swap is trying to use your cdrom as your swap file.
[01:42] <Simonft> [omni]: revert?
[01:43] <selocol> neofax: yes i want to close it. is killall conky the safest method?
[01:43] <Simonft> neofax: really?
[01:43] <DIL> Jack_Sparrow: yes - but previuously when attempting to use synaptic as a non root user it would prompt for pw - iwas not getting the prompt and even update manager would hand my prob is solved i know there were some who had similar probs last night
[01:43] <selocol> neofax: it's functioning perfectly normal. i just want to close it
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft that is not correct
[01:43] <[omni]> Simonft: yes, go back to the old file. so assuming you did the full command i asked you to: sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab
[01:43] <amstella> yo, whats the easiest way to pull files off of an ssh server
[01:43] <[omni]> Simonft: once you've done that paste the file and i'll paste the corrected version
[01:44] <amstella> i'm having one hell of a time getting it to work
[01:44] <[omni]> amstella: scp
[01:44] <amstella> omni : i know i did that and the working directory is wrong and can't find the file
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> amstella Please watch the language and keep it family rated.. thanks
[01:44] <Simonft> [omni]: http://pastebin.com/f41dd890c
[01:44] <[omni]> amstella: scp username@server:<filepath> ./newlocation
[01:44] <[omni]> amstella: can you ssh to the file?
[01:45] <[omni]> Simonft: that looks identical...
[01:45] <[omni]> amstella: ssh to the *SERVER
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft http://pastebin.com/f41dd890c       is wrong...
[01:45] <[omni]> sorry
[01:45] <neofax> selocol: That will not harm conky.
[01:45] <Simonft> [omni]: i never edited anything, what would i revert to?
[01:45] <[omni]> Simonft: did you do the sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak ?
[01:45] <Simonft> [omni]: yes
[01:45] <[omni]> Simonft: ah, so that is the orig? Ok, good. hang on one second
[01:46] <neofax> amstella: scp
[01:46] <[omni]> Simonft: i'll fix it and paste teh correction
[01:46] <Simonft> [omni]: thanks
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft http://pastebin.com/d5f656306        Should work if that is the right partition
[01:46] <selocol> neofax: thanks
[01:47] <[omni]> Simonft: please do an ls /dev/scd0
[01:47] <[omni]> does that exist for you?
[01:47] <neofax> Simonft: Jack_Sparrow: /dev/hda4 is wrong if it is also pointing to /media/cdrom
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft actually  http://pastebin.com/d713e6e2a
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> neofax agreed
[01:48] <j800r> hey there. is anyone able to offer a little product support
[01:48] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: put that in
[01:48] <Simonft> j800r: just ask
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[01:48] <[omni]> Simonft: that last line is wrong. Do you ahve a /dev/scd0?
[01:48] <Ashe|Happy> Anyone able to help with the sound on 8.04?
[01:48] <neofax> What needs to be done is run fdisk -l /dev/hda and look for the correct patrtition which has a partition type of 83
[01:48] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: is that for me?
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft Just using what you had for your drive.. which was wrong
[01:49] <[omni]> neofax: he's already confirmed that hda4 is his swap partition
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft yes, we need to know the correct partition
[01:49] <j800r> having a random slowdown for no apparent reason. i've got less running then i normally do an ubuntu's lagging tenfold :\
[01:49] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: ahh, too many people at once, how do i tell what it is?
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] then the cd needs to be changed out
[01:49] <neofax> [omni]: Then he also needs to change it from pointing to /media/cdrom  That will mess up swap
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] take it over..
[01:49] <[omni]> neofax: yes, which is why i'm asking if he has a /dev/scd0 :)
[01:50] <neofax> [omni]: I will back out then.
[01:50] <[omni]> Simonft: ls /dev/scd0
[01:50] <[omni]> is it there?
[01:50] <vlad> hi ppl
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> [omni] That command I gave will help us know how his system is actually configured
[01:50] <vlad> i need some help
[01:50] <neofax> jubalj: Everything looks fine in netstat.  Are you running a aol im or any im right now?
[01:51] <vlad> how can i fix the choppy border problem in all videos or movies also choppy borders in subtitles?
[01:51] <neofax> jubalj: Also, what is in your /etc/host file?
[01:51] <j800r> so any advice on how to fix the slowdown anyone? :s
[01:51] <jubalj> neofax: just gaim.. and signed into aol
[01:51] <neofax> jubalj: It shows in the netstat
[01:51] <j800r> vlad: try using vlc. no border with that one
[01:51] <[omni]> i'm guessing Simonft crashed again
[01:51] <user01> how do i get desktop effects to work with an ati 9000?
[01:52] <vlad> j800r,  yes man also with vlc :(
[01:52] <Ashe|Happy> Screwed up sound, needing help.
[01:52] <j800r> hmm. seems like you may have a video config problem then :\
[01:52] <radius_> neofax: kernel update was fine :)
[01:53] <user01> is there a channel just for configuring x.org in hardy?
[01:53] <[omni]> physical therapy time. later, kids
[01:53] <jubalj> neofax: I've put my hosts file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/16727/
[01:53] <neofax> radius_: Welcome to the magical world of apt!!!
[01:53] <Treefire> So, I'm a complete noob to linux in general. I'm dualbooting mac osx and kubuntu right now. Is there any way I can give both leopard and hardy access to my music library?
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 did you try to install fglrx?
[01:53] <Simonft> [omni]: not crashedm had to do something
[01:53] <Simonft> oh darn, he left
[01:53] <radius_> neofax: im using ubuntu ultimate 1.8 x64
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Simon run that and I will take over
[01:54] <j800r> can anyone help my with why ubuntu would be stalling? i mean, Linux dists are supposed to be way more stable :\
[01:54] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow:  http://pastebin.com/f7273463e
[01:54] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, it says:  The latest driver version working with this chipset is 8.28.8. ATI has dropped support for this chipset in all further versions.
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> j800r Nothing is so perfect a determined user cant mess it up
[01:54] <radius_> neofax: is lightspeed and awesome
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 that does not tell me what I asked
[01:55] <Simonft> j800r: i for example am very determinded
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 what does fglrxinfo in term tell you
[01:55] <will00> would getting an analog to digital converter box allow me to watch analog cable on a digital only card?
[01:55] <j800r> so any advice either of you :\
[01:55] <neofax> jubalj: Your /etc/hosts is fine as well.  Let me google something to check dns records
[01:55] <Ashe|Happy> Can anyone help me with the sound problems I am having? It is just roaring on my music.
[01:55] <vlad> nobody got that problem with choppy borders with any player all videos?
[01:55] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, segmentation fault
[01:56] <j800r> vlad: i had that with totem before, but never vlc. it's new to me :s
[01:56] <jubalj> neofax: thanks.. this is really perplexing..
[01:57] <vlad> j800r,  :(
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft http://pastebin.com/d4980914a
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft So we need to find out where your cdrom is hiding
[01:57] <vlad> whats better compiz fusion or metacity?
[01:57] <j800r> is there anyways to restore all ubuntu defaults without doing a total reinstall. :|
[01:57] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, do i need to add to x.org confi?
[01:57] <neofax> vlad: They both are good, one is different than the other.
[01:58] <linuxmonkey> Jack_Sparrow: Just wanted to say Hi and keep up the good work
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 How do you add what to xorg?
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxmonkey howdy
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft go to /media and see if you have cdrom01  or something like that..   darn apples?
[01:58] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, do i need to manually add fglrx driver to xorg.conf?
[01:58] <neofax> user01: Just do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak  Then restart X
[01:59] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: ok, hold on
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 No 9550 and under do not use it.. Most problems are from people trying to uise it
[01:59] <j800r> alright, n/mind. i'll try manually debugging or a restart
[01:59] <neofax> Whoops, Sorry Jack_Sparrow.  It seems you are helping user01 as well.
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> neo.. please feel free
[02:00] <linuxmonkey> i missed ya buddy, hopefully ill have a bit of time to provide a bit of support in a couple of days.
[02:00] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, ok so i how do i fix it for the one it is supposed to use?
[02:00] <linuxmonkey> neofax: jack is a jack of all trades he help multiple people all at once
[02:00] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: a shortcut to cdrom and folder called cdrom0
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 What all have you done so far to get it going.. and ask neofax
[02:00] <HunterD> Anyone able to help me with sound problems?
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft cool.. hold for a sec and we can try this..
[02:01] <user01> neofax, i installed xorg-driver-fgltx
[02:01] <user01> neofax, rx
[02:01] <neofax> HunterD: Yes, what seems to be the problem?
[02:01] <HunterD> The sound makes a roaring noise along with the music.
[02:02] <neofax> user01: Do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft do you have a cdrom0
[02:02] <libervisco> This is insane!
[02:02] <neofax> HunterD: Is it with every music player?
[02:02] <jon_high9000> hi there, anyone know to a video player i.e. VLC a default so you don't have to keep selecting it manually?
[02:02] <HunterD> Every player, even firefox.
[02:02] <HunterD> Has been doing it since the update to 8.04
[02:02] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: there is a folder called that in /media if that is what you mean.
[02:02] <Gohalien> Hi, anyone had the problem that suddenly, the gnome is freezed, when you try to open a program or a terminal for example, it open the program window all blank and seconds later a "click to force close the application" appears ?
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> jonsystem..pref..preferred apps..
[02:03] <user01> neofax, ok
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> jon_high9000  system..pref..preferred apps..
[02:03] <neofax> HunterD: OK, try playing a song and change the settings in your mixer to see which channel is producing the roar or if it is coming from all channels.
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft yes..   so here is my best guess on your apple..  http://pastebin.com/d6618fc21
[02:03] <jon_high9000> ok thanks. i will try it.
[02:03] <user01> neofax, next?
[02:03] <neofax> user01: Are you in CLI mode?
[02:04] <wabash> can anyone recommend web authoring tools for ubuntu? I'm not a web author, but I want to make nicely laid-out webpages
[02:04] <HunterD> Its all channels, I have went as far as testing individual channels.
[02:04] <user01> neofax, im running in a terminal in gnome
[02:04] <neofax> By that I mean no X running nor [G,K,X]DM
[02:04] <user01> neofax, nope
[02:04] <neofax> user01: do <ctl>+<alt>+<backspace>
[02:05] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: ok, how can i tell if that worked?
[02:05] <coolperson> hi all :)
[02:05] <user01> neofax, that just restarted x
[02:05] <Broadcom> !hi | coolperson
[02:05] <user01> neofax, i thought you needed CLI?
[02:05] <coolperson> i love using ubuntu linux
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Simonft log out and back in.. remember from livecd you can restore your fstab backup as needed... sudo nano or cp etc
[02:05] <neofax> HunterD: Unplug the speakers and run only headset and see if you have the same problem.
[02:06] <Simonft> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, ill try
[02:06] <neofax> user01: What I am doing is allowing us to start fresh and build from there.
[02:06] <HunterD> I'm using a laptop but my headset does the exact same noise.
[02:06] <coolperson> i was wondering how can i setup a serve using the desktop
[02:06] <user01> neofax, ok what next?
[02:07] <mosrite52> hello/hola
[02:07] <Broadcom> !hi | mosrite52
[02:07] <zelrikriando> ubuntu is great
[02:07] <zelrikriando> I love it
[02:07] <neofax> HunterD: do sudo invoke-rc.d alsautils restart
[02:07] <jubalj> neofax: any other thoughts on my strange issue?
[02:07] <drewbert> Hello.  I just installed Xubuntu.  My ethernet controller (Broadcom 57xx) uses the tg3 driver.  The ethernet adapter shows up in the network manager and I copied my tcp/ip settings from windows to the network manager, but I cnnot access any websites nor am I able to ping my gateway.
[02:08] <neofax> jubalj: I cannot connect from here as well.  Do you know if the server is down?
[02:08] <drewbert> 8.04 Hardy
[02:08] <neofax> user01: Now, run lsmod | grep fglrx
[02:08] <dobblego> when I run an administrator application, I am no longer prompted for a password; how do I run these applications with gksudo?
[02:08] <drewbert> I think I should also mention the internet worked on the liveCD.
[02:08] <HunterD> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/alsaultils not found. <- I got this.
[02:08] <wabash> Anyone? I would like to make web pages, but not sure what's best for Ubuntu.
[02:09] <Broadcom> Jack_Sparrow: i still do not have the swap working, and for some reason i cannot boot the live cd.
[02:09] <user01> neofax, nothing happens
[02:09] <Broadcom> wabash: you mean html? try bluefish
[02:09] <user01> neofax, or was that supposed to be a sudo command?
[02:09] <indra> Good morning
[02:09] <neofax> HunterD: Try sudo invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart
[02:09] <drewbert> wabash, I like gedit, but if you're looking from something more guified bluefish is pretty good
[02:09] <Broadcom> !hi | indra exept it is 9:09 at night where i am
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom fstab cannot keep a live cd from booting.. what about recovery mode
[02:10] <neofax> user01: No, that is fine.  That just means you do not have the fglrx kernel driver installed.
[02:10] <indra> I need tool for resize live partition
[02:10] <jubalj> neofax:  I was able to get to it by ip.. but you are right.. the ip address isnt responding currently..
[02:10] <indra> i must resize live partition
[02:10] <drewbert> Jack_Sparrow: was that directed at me?
[02:10] <Lars_G> Hi all.
[02:10] <HunterD> Nada, it still has the roar.
[02:10] <Broadcom> Jack_Sparrow: the laptop has been moody about booting for a while. I have to go now, thanks for the help
[02:10] <user01> neofax, so what is next to get effects to work?
[02:10] <Lars_G> Question, does anyone know if there's a repo somewhere with precompiled beefed up ffmpeg debs?
[02:10] <drewbert> oh wait, nevermind there's a user in here with the name Broadcom
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom see you tomorrow
[02:10] <jubalj> neofax: its back up now
[02:10] <neofax> jubalj: So, I am assuming that ftp.godzone.net is the man server and .nz is New Zealand specific.
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> drewbert nope
[02:11] <Broadcom> drewbert: hi, and bye
[02:11] <jubalj> neofax: no they are actually unrelated
[02:11] <drewbert> Well broadcom could you help me get my broadcom ethernet controller working?
[02:11] <jubalj> neofax: initially i thought someone might be trying to harvest passwords by tricking the dns somehow..
[02:11] <Broadcom> drewbert: sorry, im not good with eathernet, only wireless, and i have to go
[02:11] <drewbert> :-(
[02:12] <mosrite52> drewbert, did you tried pppoeconf?
[02:12] <drewbert> mosrite52: but I'm connecting to a router?
[02:13] <neofax> user01:  Get the envy script from albertmilone's website and let it install the fglrx driver.  Once that is done, it will create a new xorg.conf file for you.
[02:13] <|7w1273d|> ok ik ben er nu moet ik reboot
[02:13] <indra> how can i rezize live partition

[02:13] <neofax> jubalj: It is still down here
[02:13] <drewbert> I can resolve domains, but I cannot open web pages.
[02:13] <drewbert> <-- confused.
[02:13] <indra> ?
[02:14] <user01> neofax, Jack_Sparrow said that fglrx didnt support below 9550 mine is 9000
[02:14] <giloth> I have a dual display going (the 2nd display is my TV) and using ATI Catalyst Control Center I wanted to extend the desktop, but for some reason my displays are switched from what they should be. (Showing first display as the TV and my monitor as the 2nd display. how would i go about fixing this?
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 I will post my notes on 9550 and uder cards for you
[02:14] <neofax> user01: OK, I haven't used fglrx in forever.  Try this, lsmod | grep radeon
[02:14] <t35t0r> anyone have fluxbox installed? Is anyone getting really slow performance out of gnome-terminal when it is opened, or when switching tabs in gnome-terminal with ctrl+pgup/pgdown, or when opening a new tab or when putting focus on gnome-terminal?
[02:14] <jubalj> neofax: so here is the console output showing the odd behaviour http://paste.ubuntu.com/16728/
[02:15] <drewbert> how is it that I can resolve domains but not ping the ip's of those domains?
[02:15] <t35t0r> it doesn't do the same thing when i'm in gnome
[02:15] <t35t0r> the performance is good then...
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> user01 http://paste.ubuntu.com/16729/
[02:15] <t35t0r> and this didn't used to happen when I was using gentoo
[02:15] <user01> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[02:15] <HunterD> A lot of the channels cleared themselves with that command, neofax.
[02:16] <SpaceBass> I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and am having some authentication issues ... I need to reconfigure libnss-LDAP but when I run dpkg-reconfigure libnss-ldap   nothing happens

[02:17] <HunterD> Just, now the sound capt. is roaring.
[02:17] <HunterD> On the test.

[02:19] <leleobhz> ?
[02:20] <wabash> drewbert: Thanks. Is Bluefish more for PHP and the like, or is it more for html?
[02:20] <giloth> hmmm i guess there are no dual display experts online at the moment :(
[02:20] <Awsoonn> Are there any wiki-gnomes in the house? please PM me.
[02:20] <indra> oh
[02:20] <drewbert> wabash: more for html
[02:20] <HunterD> Sound playback, fine. Sound capture - roaring and dead
[02:20] <Pici> Awsoonn: If you're asking about wikipedia, they have a large presense on this irc server
[02:20] <indra> have anybody see goosh :)
[02:20] <wabash> drewbert: cool, thanks.
[02:21] <indra> cool
[02:21] <jubalj> neofax: i can still connect to the ftp.. is there a possibility this is an odd bug with one of the ubunutu networking packages? I'm not sure how else i am getting this..
[02:21] <kdavid> How do I put the close "x" on the toolbar?
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot | inda
[02:21] <neofax> HunterD: try lowering the capture volume to an acceptable level or in mixer one by one switch of the optional features until it works.
[02:22] <Awsoonn> Pici, I was referring more the Ubuntu wiki, but I'll got talk to them first, thanks.
[02:22] <flybaer> does anyone have an opinion of the "install inside windows" option as opposed to installing on reboot
[02:22] <Destructor> has  anyone had luck with network play in gnuchess
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> flybaer I wont use wubi or recommend it
[02:23] <kdavid>  How do I put the close "x" on the toolbar?
[02:23] <flybaer> Jack_Sparrow:reasons?
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> flybaer Read the wubi faq
[02:23] <jubalj> neofax: do you know how i can narrow down how ping or ftp works out what ftp.godzone.net.nz should resolve as?
[02:23] <neofax> jubalj: You may just have a funky connection.  Everything is correct as far as no proxy and /etc/hosts.  The only other thing I could think of is Hardy has ufw, which I am not familiar with.
[02:23] <flybaer> k
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[02:24] <dobblego> is it a new 8.04 feature that administrator applications (under System->Administration) do not run with gksudo?
[02:24] <flybaer> Jack_Sparrow:thanks!
[02:24] <drewbert> i changed my ipaddress and that got everything working =)
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:24] <t35t0r> how do i generate an xorg.conf file?
[02:24] <HunterD> Narrowed it down to the device: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)
[02:24] <neofax> jubalj: ping and ftp resolves themselves based on what your primary dns server tells it.  However, if it resolves fine in windows, then it should in linux unless you have a strange iptable(ufw) command routing it to somewhere else.
[02:25] <SeaPhor> t35t0r, what do you mean by "generate"
[02:25] <jubalj> neofax: i did a sudo ufw disable, still having the same issue
[02:25] <t35t0r> SeaPhor, i mean i don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf fiel
[02:25] <SeaPhor> t35t0r, do you mean edit?
[02:25] <freethinker> hi!can anybody helpme put rosegarden dislpaying sound? i have installed,and also sox,and sndfile
[02:25] <Drizzt321> I'm trying to use a SATA/IDE -> USB bring on a SATA HDD. I can see the device in lsusb, but can't see it in /proc/partitions or /media or anywhere. Where would i find it to mount it?
[02:26] <t35t0r> SeaPhor, no i mean generate
[02:26] <kdavid>  How do I put the close "x" on the toolbar?
[02:26] <t35t0r> SeaPhor, i don't have a xorg.conf file
[02:26] <t35t0r> SeaPhor, i had to hack an install from the ubuntu iso file because i couldn't get the CD to go past 61%
[02:26] <ghindo> I'm using ssh to tunnel into a remote machine.  I'm trying to run rTorrent on that remote machine, but every time I close my ssh connection, I close rTorrent as well.  How do I keep rTorrent open?
[02:26] <neofax> t35t0r: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server I think
[02:26] <Drizzt321> basically I think I need to disable HAL so I can get at the disk directly since I'm trying to do some recovery
[02:27] <Drizzt321> how would I do this?
[02:27] <mohamed_> anyone use slim desktop manager ?
[02:27] <t35t0r> it's kind of funny how I did it too ..i'll have to document it some ubuntu forum
[02:27] <HunterD> Okay. scratch that. Conexant is acting funny
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> t35t0r please do..
[02:27] <SeaPhor> t35t0r, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    if thats not there then there are other issues?
[02:27] <neofax> SeaPhor: Newer versions of X do not need the xorg.conf file.
[02:28] <t35t0r> i looked all over google to see the proper way to install straight from an iso file but all i got were network installs or ones where i need a bootable usb stick or bootable external usb drive

[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[02:30] <jedimind> jubalj: i wouldnt do that
[02:30] <jedimind> if you have any respect whatsoever for your site, dont do that
[02:30] <elmer_> thanks
[02:30] <jubalj> jedimind: how come?
[02:31] <elmer_> This is weird
[02:31] <SeaPhor> neofax, i'm getting older by the moment, just when i get used to how-to "do something"   it changes,, lol, oh well,, i'll watch and learn
[02:31] <jedimind> jubalj: conversion of word documents into html often leaves you with propriatery html and severely bloated files that prevent your potential users / customers to experience the site as they should
[02:32] <jubalj> jedimind: its medical study notes, more for personal use from anywhere, rather than for other people.. i dont mind the bloat cause it wont be accessed that often..
[02:32] <Frenchy> aha! webmin lives!
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[02:32] <jedimind> jubalj: fair enough, if its for internal use then it really doesnt make much of a difference
[02:32] <jedimind> jubalj: you could probably do a bit of a macro w/ Open Office to simply save the files as html
[02:32] <jedimind> how many files are you dealing with ?
[02:32] <jubalj> jedimind: 100s
[02:33] <neofax> SeaPhor: However, it is barebones X.  If you have any exotic, to include Radeon/GeForce, peripherals(spelling?) then it is just basic.  However, it helps in troubleshooting
[02:33] <jubalj> jedimind: probably around a 100
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Frenchy You saw the info on webmin correct
[02:34] <Grego> Alguem já usou ou usa o BigLinux ????
[02:34] <Frenchy> Jack_Sparrow: explain:-(
[02:34] <freethinker> sim
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin | Frenchy
[02:34] <freethinker> ja usei mais o 4
[02:34] <Grego> ele é bom?
[02:34] <freethinker> beta 3
[02:34] <freethinker> sim eu gostei
[02:34] <jubalj> jedimind: problem with open office script would be having to open each file individually

[02:35] <Grego> eu to baixando ele pq o meu Ubuntu ta meio bugado
[02:35] <freethinker> nao sei se ja saiu a versão final, mas achei umas das melhores distribuiçoes ke vi ate agora
[02:35] <jedimind> im pretty sure you can either make the opening of the file part of the macro, or open al the files into open office at once, and just have it go through them

[02:36] <jedimind> jubalj: you're getting my msgs right ?
[02:36] <neofax> Frenchy: Sudo apt-get remove webmin
[02:36] <jubalj> jedimind: thanks.. i'll give that a try.. i suspect opening all at once,, will probably take my computer down.. its about 600Mbs of files
[02:36] <jubalj> jedimind: yeah.. cheers
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !find webmin
[02:37] <t35t0r> neofax, dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server said that xorg-server does not exist

[02:38] <neofax> t35t0r: Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:38] <freethinker> ubottu : i was the one you was trying to help
[02:38] <jedimind> jubalj: before opening them all - make the macro first make sure it works (do a couple of files at first) so you dont waste your time :)

[02:58] <mevsthevoices> For ubuntu (hardy) the default for the iptables is to be empty right?
[02:59] <nickrud> pdlnhrd looking at ccsm, I think it's expo edge on the bindings tab of expo plugin
[03:00] <pdlnhrd> nickrud:  thanks... i will do just that (as soon as i get my ipod hooked up right)

[03:03] <Pici> bluecake: This channel is only for Ubuntu Linux support, try ##windows
[03:03] <sonu_> which software is used for cd/dvd burning in ubuntu 8.04
[03:03] <sacamano> random question- so, im using ubuntu (ive used it for about 2 years now) im on hardy, i use my laptop for like 15-20minutes, it varies in time, and all of a sudden the audio stops working. a few minutes  later, everything open will be fine, but the gnome panel will be unusable. anyone have any idea?
[03:03] <nickrud> salomoncab you can try xgamma -gamma X.X , find what you like and add it to xorg.conf for permanent
[03:03] <bluecake> Pici, #windows can't help
[03:03] <Pici> bluecake: Its offtopic for this channel.
[03:04] <bluecake> so i come here to take chances
[03:04] <Frenchy> Jack_Sparrow:
[03:04] <Frenchy> one last question. webmin has an autostart
[03:04] <salomoncab> is that what i type in console
[03:04] <nickrud> Frenchy Jack_Sparrow stepped away
[03:04] <Frenchy> isn't that in /etc/rc.d or is that init.d?
[03:04] <salomoncab> sorry im new =/
[03:04] <sonu_> can u give the best software name for cd/dvd burning in ubuntu 8.04
[03:04] <sonu_> help me !!!!!!!!!!!
[03:04] <neofax> user01: yes
[03:04] <nickrud> salomoncab yes, x.x you replace with numbers, like 1.2 or something
[03:04] <Frenchy> nickrud: I installed webmin by accident. everything is gone according to whereis webmin.  I'm trying to delete whatever autostart script may ahve been installed
[03:04] <salomoncab> okay thank you
[03:05] <tritium> !attitude | sonu_
[03:05] <Frenchy> nickrud: can I search the entire hd for anythign related to webmin?
[03:05] <Pici> !burning | sonu_
[03:05] <nickrud> Frenchy you can try sudo apt-get remove --purge webmin, that will cleanly remove webmin for you
[03:05] <nickrud> Frenchy all traces, startup hooks, etc.
[03:05] <brody> hey can anyone help how would I burn an iso image to a blank disk in ubuntu?
[03:05] <tritium> brody: right-click it, and select write to disck
[03:05] <nickrud> brody right click the iso, select write to disk (burn)
[03:05] <tritium> disc, even
[03:05] <woddf2> Hello
[03:06] <Frenchy> nickrud: I installed using the sh script in the tar.gz because I don't have multiverse enabled
[03:06] <Cromag> someone asked for ventrilo install ?
[03:06] <Frenchy> sorry
[03:06] <woddf2> When I try to paste an image into KolourPaint, it keeps pasting a file name instead.
[03:06] <brody> sweet thanks guys
[03:06] <user01> neofax, ooo i restarted it and something bad happens now
[03:06] <Arky44> Is there a way to remove usplash without removing ubuntu-desktop (which I'm sure would wreak dependency havok)?
[03:06] <woddf2> It does this no matter what I copy.
[03:06] <Cromag> deezy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737&page=5
[03:06] <anirudh0> Arky44: no problem if ubuntu-desktop is removed
[03:07] <nickrud> Frenchy ouch. No clue then. If it's a script, I'd look inside the script for the file install sequence. No certainty what names they would have, so searching wouldn't guaranty you get it all
[03:07] <user01> neofax, login screen, login, then i get an x cursor and then everything looks weird
[03:07] <salomoncab> i brought gamma command all the way up to 10 and nothing changed
[03:07] <brody> actually. . . .I don't have the write to disk option
[03:07] <Arky44> anirdh0: Really? I was worried I'd start a nasty dependency chain all the way to hell :P
[03:07] <Treefire> Howcome when I try to unarchive a .gz I get about a thousand priveledge errors?
[03:07] <neofax> user01: weird as in?
[03:07] <QueRicoMate> how can i add files to the iso using UCK??
[03:07] <anirudh0> Arky44: ubuntu-destop is a meta-package anyway..nothing really there inside it..just ensures you have the minimum packages needed for a default install
[03:08] <deeperror> Treefire: are you not using sudo?
[03:08] <neofax> post a photobucket pic
[03:08] <danbhfive> Arky44: you only have to worry when you want to upgrade
[03:08] <woddf2> When I try to paste an image into KolourPaint, it keeps pasting a file name instead.
[03:08] <woddf2> It does this no matter what I copy.
[03:08] <anirudh0> Arky44: to do that , do a apt-get remove libc :)
[03:08] <nickrud> salomoncab just tested it here again:  xgamma -gamma 2
[03:08] <Treefire> Treefire: Err, no, I was trying to use the gui program that came with kubuntu. I figured it would just work lol.
[03:08] <Arky44> danbhfive: can I reinstall it after I remove it?
[03:08] <Treefire> deeperror: rather
[03:08] <danbhfive> Arky44: of course
[03:08] <user01> neofax, everything is black and i cant read the text
[03:08] <anirudh0> Arky44: somehow, usplash when reinstalled refuses to work
[03:09] <Arky44> danbhfive: but...then it would reinstall usplash
[03:09] <Arky44> ah
[03:09] <user01> neofax, lines running across
[03:09] <anirudh0> woddf2: did you compile it or install from repos?
[03:09] <salomoncab> anyone...
[03:09] <woddf2> I guess the latter...
[03:09] <Arky44> anirudh0: i'm a slackware addict; i like my console scrolling at startup :P
[03:09] <deeperror> treefire: maybe the folder it's extracting to doesn't have w for your user?
[03:09] <Treefire> Oh
[03:09] <Treefire> Rofl
[03:09] <anirudh0> Arky44: a more permanent solution is to remove "splash" from the kernel parameter list in menu.lst
[03:09] <Treefire> I feel stupid.
[03:09] <brody> yea sorry i have no option to write the iso to a disk. . .are there any programs that would help?
[03:10] <anirudh0> Arky44: one sec
[03:10] <Arky44> anirudh0: k i'll try that
[03:10] <QueRicoMate> how can i add extra files to the iso image of ubuntu with uck??
[03:10] <deezy> I'm using a Logitec USB headset on my laptop in addition to my laptops onboard sound.  I selected the USB headset from the mixer on the top right volume properties and vent replies with "No mixers are available"
[03:10] <anirudh0> Arky44: instead of removing usplash, remove the "quiet" from menu.lst
[03:10] <nickrud> Arky44 remove splash quiet from the line in /boot/grub/menu.list  # defoptions , then run sudo update-grub
[03:10] <Arky44> ok
[03:10] <anirudh0> Arky44: that way,,,you'll see the "scrolling" in the usplash window..much nicer imho
[03:10] <nickrud> *menu.lst that is
[03:11] <salomoncab> anyone with any brightness commands?
[03:11] <Arky44> anirudh0: we're teo of a kind :P
[03:11] <anirudh0> salomoncab: applet?
[03:11] <Arky44> *two
[03:11] <neofax> user01: type fglrxinfo in the terminal and tell me what it says
[03:12] <salomoncab> i dont know
[03:12] <anirudh0> Arky44: there is also something called splashy..never could get it to work for ubuntu..is'nt it the default on slackware
[03:12] <salomoncab> i am new to ubuntu
[03:12] <Arky44> anirudh0: defoptions is commented out, does that matter?
[03:12] <lastelement0> hey all i just got live cd to boot on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop but the touchpad doesnt work. what can i do?
[03:12] <anirudh0> salomoncab: i meant..there's a panel applet
[03:12] <woddf2> It also happens in applications other than KolourPaint.
[03:12] <salomoncab> and i need moar brightness!!!!
[03:12] <user01> neofax, is currently not installed
[03:12] <woddf2> (e.g., Firefox)
[03:12] <anirudh0> Arky44: no
[03:12] <salomoncab> wat u mean panel applet?
[03:12] <anirudh0> woddf2: is klipper running?
[03:13] <woddf2> Glipper is running.
[03:13] <anirudh0> salomoncab: there is a gnome panel applet for controlling laptop lcd screen brightness
[03:13] <elmer_> Anybody know of any Linux programs that can upload firmware to a flashed Linksys WAP54G?
[03:13] <salomoncab> im on my desktop =p
[03:13] <nickrud> salomoncab he's talking about the laptop brightness control you can add by right clicking the panel, then add to panel
[03:13] <woddf2> Now I have copied text in Firefox by selecting it, and it does it with that aswell...
[03:13] <anirudh0> elmer_: check in the "electronics:multiverse" section in synaptic
[03:13] <salomoncab> does it matter?
[03:13] <elmer> anirudh0, OK
[03:13] <woddf2> Oh wait...
[03:13] <elmer> anirudh0, how would I go about doing that?
[03:13] <nickrud> SaLoMoN probably, but hey, it won't break anything
[03:14] <woddf2> It does it with the old string of text!
[03:14] <MrBaron> elmer_: You could probably flash the router to use DD-WRT
[03:14] <woddf2> *It still does it with the old string of text!
[03:14] <MrBaron> then it wouldn't be a problem
[03:14] <elmer> MrBaron, that's what I'm trying to do
[03:14] <elmer> MrBaron, but I think it's listening on its ethernet port for some firmware
[03:14] <elmer> and the web interface doesn't work
[03:14] <Kohlrak> does anyone know any sideways fonts for ubuntu, i can't get anyting to show up right in open office when in the vertical writing mode
[03:14] <elmer> but arp -a confirms it's there
[03:15] <neofax> user01: Do sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx
[03:15] <salomoncab> where would i find this GNOME applet?
[03:15] <anirudh0> woddf2: not sure if this will help..but right click on clipper(in the system tray)..clear clipboard and try again
[03:15] <nickrud> salomoncab right click a panel, select add to panel. It's listed there
[03:15] <deeperror> elmer, would it be looking for a tftp server?
[03:15] <travers> ahh ubuntu is pure garbage! I got some netboot tar off the servers (which was horrible outdated,) untarred those, and what was in it? A kernel, a bootloader and NO README. WHat is it going to do when it boots up? some esoteric bootparam rpc call? NOBODY KNOWS! its CRAPPPPPPP CRAP CRAP LINUX IS CRAP< UBUNTU ESPECIALLY!
[03:15] <elmer> deeperror, I think so
[03:15] <tritium> travers: take it easy, and watch the language
[03:15] <elmer> deeperror, is it good if it is?
[03:15] <nickrud> travers well, if you get outdated stuff ....
[03:15] <anirudh0> travers: netboot is for those who _know_ what they are doing
[03:15] <Kohlrak> travers, if you're going to not use it and complain, get out
[03:16] <anirudh0> travers: you should use the standard install cd
[03:16] <tritium> travers: ubuntu doesn't distribute .tar files.  It uses .deb packages.  You are mistaken.
[03:16] <Flannel> travers: If you're trolling, please go somewhere else.  If you'd like to just complain, please go somewhere else.  If that's some sort of convoluted support query, try asking more clearly.
[03:16] <woddf2> anirudh0: I have tried that, and it does not work.
[03:16] <user01> neofax, i think that is already installed
[03:16] <user01> neofax, it didnt install anything
[03:16] <deeperror> elmer, never worked with one but i modified a vonage ata.
[03:16] <anirudh0> woddf2: i am sorry then..have had this problem in some apps in the past intermittently..you are running 3.5.9?
[03:17] <elmer> deeperror, OK, did you use a tftp server on that?
[03:17] <salomoncab> no the laptop brightness panel is an EPIC FAIL
[03:17] <salomoncab> =[
[03:17] <brody> travers-what's your problem?
[03:17] <woddf2> anirudh0: I am using KolourPaint in GNOME.
[03:17] <m_newton> Help configureing appachi!!!
[03:17] <woddf2> anirudh0: My KDE version is 3.5.9.
[03:17] <Kohlrak> brody, travers left. XD
[03:17] <Starnestommy> m_newton: are you referring to apache?
[03:17] <salomoncab> what to do????
[03:18] <bring3> m_newton, please try to a bit more specific, what do you need to configure, and what is your current status?
[03:18] <brody> good riddance
[03:18] <woddf2> anirudh0: My GNOME version is 2.22.2.
[03:18] <user01> neofax, should i uninstall x-server-xgl for the moment?
[03:18] <neofax> user01: Do cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep ati
[03:18] <m_newton> Starnestommy: yup, i have no-ip2 running and apache2 running local host works noip2 detect my ip and updates it, but site does not work???
[03:19] <anirudh0> woddf2: sorry..i'm not able to reproduce your problem on my machine
[03:19] <Starnestommy> m_newton: what do you mean by "does not work"?
[03:19] <neofax> user01: no, just do <CTL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE>
[03:19] <salomoncab> anyone else have any advce?
[03:19] <woddf2> Thanks anyway
[03:19] <woddf2> Goodbye
[03:19] <Starnestommy> m_newton: connection refused?
[03:19] <user01> neofax, Driver "ati"
[03:19] <jtaylor13> group: how do i get the firestarter fire wall to run at system start up?
[03:19] <m_newton> Starnestommy: I go to site, and it does not show my page, port forwarding is configure correctly
[03:20] <doomba> need help, anyone care to enlighten me\
[03:20] <mohamed_> anyone know a light desktop manager with auto login ?
[03:20] <bring3> hmm idk what no-ip2 is, have to look it up
[03:20] <m_newton> Starnestommy: here is my site harsh.no-ip.biz
[03:20] <nantax> how do i force the login resolution to 1024x768? it has a mind of its own and wants to be at 1280x1024 always... i already added the vga option in grub, added xres and yres in usplash.conf and editing xorg.conf to include the subsection mode will disable video acceleration and default to lowest resolution
[03:20] <neofax> user01: Do this: DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep render
[03:20] <bring3> m_newton, does your website appear ok at http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ ?
[03:21] <Starnestommy> m_newton: does /etc/apache2/ports.conf have "Listen 80" in it?
[03:21] <anirudh0> mohamed_: entrance
[03:21] <danbhfive> nantax: have you tried listing the desired resolution as the first listed one?
 yup
[03:21] <anirudh0> mohamed_: repo is e17.dunnewind.net
[03:21] <nantax> danbhfive, first listed one on where?
[03:21] <mohamed_> thanks anirudh0
[03:21] <danbhfive> nantax: xorg.cong
[03:21] <user01> neofax, No protocol specified
[03:21] <anirudh0> jtaylor13: a script can be added in /etc/init.d
[03:22] <user01> neofax, Error: unable to open display :0
[03:22] <m_newton> Starnestommy: Listen 80<IfModule mod_ssl.c>    Listen 443</IfModule>
[03:22] <m_newton> Starnestommy: yup
[03:22] <nantax> danbhfive, there are no resolution entries in there. if i add it, then when i reboot, hardware acceleration is off... i have installed the newest nvidia drivers
[03:22] <Starnestommy> m_newton: and do you have the right IPs for the port forwarding?
[03:22] <neofax> user01: Do sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri
[03:22] <bring3> m_newton, ok then thats as working as i know how to make apache :D but seriously it sounds like a no-ip problem?
[03:22] <danbhfive> nantax: i dunno, sorry
[03:23] <salomoncab> any way to boost brightness besides gamma commands
[03:23] <salomoncab> ?
[03:23] <ghindo> When I try to forward a GUI app through ssh, I get the following error:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/16736/  What's wrong?
[03:23] <user01> neofax, didnt do anything . . . might be installed already?
[03:23] <onthefence928> hey can someone explain to me how to revert my firefox 3.5 back to 3.4?
[03:23] <travers> so does anybody know? rpc bootparam call after the netboot kernel comes up?
[03:23] <jtaylor13> group: how do i get the firestarter fire wall to run at system start up?
[03:23] <Starnestommy> ghindo: are you using ssh -Y?
[03:23] <Orchid_> What would cause KUBUNTU font to be so BiG?
[03:24] <nantax> i also installed startup manager and i set grub to be at 1024x768, my desktop is set to the same res... but when grub is finished, login will be at 1280x1024, then go back to 1024x768 at desktop... annoying at best
[03:24] <Flannel> onthefence928: 3.5?
[03:24] <neofax> user01: Are you able to see anything on the screen?
[03:24] <Starnestommy> Orchid_: it could be a bad DPI setting
[03:24] <anirudh0> ghindo: you need the -X flag...check the ssh man page
[03:24] <ghindo> Starnestommy:  Nah, I'm using ssh -XC host@server
[03:24] <bring3> Flannel, he probably means Beta 5, and wants to go to Beta 4
[03:24] <m_newton> Starnestommy: yup, i guess the problem happened when i tried to install a proxy server and failed, but i removed that so it techinally should not interfear
[03:24] <neofax> If not, where are you typing these controls in tty1?
[03:24] <travers> you want -XY
[03:24] <user01> neo2k, blurry objects
[03:24] <onthefence928> yeah I reinstalled firefox and it gave me the newest version, which works even less well
[03:24] <m_newton> bring3: i dont think that is it
[03:24] <user01> neofax, blurry objects
[03:24] <nickrud> nantax you would need to set a resolution in xorg.conf , gdm uses that to set the resolution if it's set
[03:24] <onthefence928> Flannel: fire fox 3 beta 5
[03:24] <neofax> user01: Are you able to make out what it says?
[03:25] <elmer> Gah. Anybody know what's wrong with 192.168.1.245? arp -a gives: ? (192.168.1.245) at <incomplete> on wlan0
[03:25] <ghindo> anirudh0:  I am using the -X flag
[03:25] <elmer> that is, the MAC address is incomplete
[03:25] <elmer> apparently
[03:25] <SeaPhor> nantax, did the restricted drivers not work for you?
[03:25] <user01> neofax, in some parts
[03:25] <travers> elmer, can't get an arp reply
[03:25] <Flannel> onthefence928: I don't think 3b4 was ever in the repos.  well, during the alphas I'm sure.  You'll have to see what version you have in /var/cache/apt
[03:25] <bring3> m_newton, "onthefence928> Flannel: fire fox 3 beta 5"
[03:25] <user01> neofax, mostly no
[03:25] <m_newton> bring3: What did you keep as your update interwal
[03:25] <Starnestommy> ghindo: try the -Y flag instead of -X
[03:25] <elmer> travers, OK. Is there a way to fix that that you know of?
[03:25] <travers> ghindo, disregard that, you want
[03:25] <bring3> m_newton, update interval for what?
[03:25] <nantax> nickrud, where exactly in xorg.conf would i add that? my xorg.conf does not have any entries regarding resolutions
[03:25] <travers> ghindo both X and Y
[03:25] <neofax> user01: So, when you installed that last package did it say it was already installed?
[03:25] <m_newton> bring3: noip2
[03:25] <travers> elmer, box plugged in, network up? same subnet, etc?
[03:25] <m_newton> Starnestommy: Any ideas?
[03:26] <user01> neofax, nope
[03:26] <Starnestommy> m_newton: I'm not sure what's causing that
[03:26] <bring3> onthefence928, i think you will need to find a repository with FF3b4, honestly you might want to look for one that has FF3RC1 instead, that could work better for you
[03:26] <neofax> user01: What did it say?
[03:26] <user01> neofax, it said no packages would be installed
[03:26] <bring3> m_newton, sorry i don't have noip2 installed, so i don't know much about it
[03:26] <elmer> travers, the IP is for a WAP54G (wireless bridge or access point). I have the same subnet, we are on the same network supposedly.
[03:26] <m_newton> Starnestommy: any guesses on how to go back in time, or how to undo one days of messups?
[03:27] <neofax> Ok then that normally means it is already installed.
[03:27] <Starnestommy> m_newton: have you tried restarting apache2?
[03:27] <onthefence928> bring3: fair enough, how do I go about doing it? I can barely get firefox 2 to work correctly
[03:27] <onthefence928> bring3: I suck at installing on ubuntu
[03:27] <m_newton> Starnestommy: yup to no avail, i reinstalled everything to do with a web server
[03:27] <travers> elmer, somebody is probably making tacos in their microwave =) no, actually, the linksys is probably just not configured properly
[03:28] <bring3> onthefence928, lolol, dont worry there are good guides, just digging up the FF3 one :)
[03:28] <elmer> travers, well... that stinks because I can't access it via the web interface.
[03:28] <neofax> try doing sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl and then <CTL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE> again and see if that helps.  Then we will run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:28] <Kohlrak> anyone know how to get letters sideways in open office?
[03:28] <travers> elmer, give it a reset, I think that model comes up at 192.168.1.245
[03:28] <travers> elmer, (I have 3 of em)
[03:28] <bring3> onthefence928, assuming you are running Hardy (8.04) check out this guide: http://blog.rosanegra.org/2008/05/20/how-to-install-firefox-3-rc1-on-ubuntu-hardy/
[03:28] <elmer> travers, it does, and how long should I hold down the reset button?
[03:28] <nickrud> nantax a sec
[03:29] <user01> neofax, sudo aptitude show libl1-mesa-dri | grep State shows State: installed
[03:29] <travers> elmer, *shrug* 10 secs or something? wait for the leds to change
[03:29] <neofax> user01: When you are done with that, send me an email as I have to go to bed now.
[03:29] <bring3> onthefence928, if that doesn't fix your problems, then you might try downgrading to 3b4, but i'd try that first, RC1 worked nicely for me at least :)
[03:29] <elmer> travers, done
[03:29] <onthefence928> ok I'll check it
[03:30] <mbrandt> what the heck is the name of the command line port scanner?
[03:30] <deeperror> nmap?
[03:30] <bring3> nmap?
[03:30] <mbrandt> thanks
[03:30] <elmer> travers, still gives <incomplete> for MAC address
[03:30] <Starnestommy> mbrandt: nmap?
[03:30] <mbrandt> NMAP
[03:30] <mbrandt> duh
[03:30] <bring3> jinx!
[03:30] <elmer> Oh no travers left
[03:30] <mbrandt> thanks folks
[03:30] <bring3> well his eyes are open now
[03:31] <elmer> bring3, yeah, but he was the only one knowledgable on the topic I needed help with
[03:31] <elmer> :(
[03:31] <bring3> :(
[03:32] <mbrandt> had a vapor lock there for a minute
[03:32] <user01> neofax, how do i get your email?
[03:32] <mbrandt> elmer, what are you tryin got do?
[03:32] <user01> neofax, it is working fine again
[03:32] <bring3> elmer, you are trying to reset the router to defaults? can you access web interface now?
[03:33] <elmer> bring3, I am trying to reset it, but I can not access the web interface
[03:33] <Bllz> My Samba server is F-ed up somehow... my client can initially connect and then it ceases to be able to do so after i log out of my server box (the computer is still running).  What gives?
[03:33] <elmer> bring3, if I could that would make everything too easy
[03:33] <mbrandt> elmer, what kind of router?
[03:33] <elmer> mbrandt, I am trying to reset to factory defaults
[03:33] <bring3> elmer lol, well did you use the manual reset button yet?
[03:33] <elmer> mbrandt, WAP54G
[03:33] <mbrandt> okay
[03:33] <elmer> bring3, yes, I held it down for 30s
[03:34] <elmer> Would knowing what the LEDs are help?
[03:34] <brody> sorry I have a very noobish question, but if I have an iso immage on a cd that contains an os I want to install, how would I literally go about installing it and not end up simply re-opening the same file once I re-insert the cd?
[03:34] <elmer> Power = red, Act = green, Link = yellow
[03:34] <Bllz> brody:  what?  I'm not sure i understand your question
[03:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> hello all, nickrud
[03:34] <lastelement0> ﻿hey all, im trying to install 8.04 on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop, and i booted into the live cd and when i chose install and got to the partitioning section, nothing showed up to select and i couldn't go forward. what should i do?
[03:34] <elmer> Bllz, I think he wants to burn the iso image
[03:35] <mbrandt> brody, if you browse the cd do you have more than one file?
[03:35] <ezzieyguywuf> ﻿I couldn't suspend b/c i'm running compiz on an ATI card and aparantly it isn't supported. I've edited my pm-suspend script to replace compiz with metacity before suspending and then to replace metacity with compiz when it resumes. Everything works great when I call pm-suspend from the command line. I cannot, however, get it to work properly using FN-F4 or the power icon. I have edited my hal-system-power-suspend-linux script so 
[03:35] <brody> nah, just one
[03:35] <m_newton> Starnestommy: will restartting help? final hope restarting (the old windows style and sudo apt-get autoremove)
[03:35] <elmer> Oh no!! the router isn't even showing up in arp -a!!
[03:35] <Flannel> brody: Copy that file to your desktop, right click it, "burn to cd"
[03:35] <mbrandt> a *.iso file?
[03:35] <Starnestommy> m_newton: the only think I can think of is a misconfigured router or a bad firewall rule
[03:35] <pjv> when i type in at boot options 'noscsi'  , when i  install the livecd, how can i reactivate scsi at boot time?
[03:35] <KRaZy_WaKa> how susceptible is buntu or any *nix OS for that matter to spyware/malware/"badware"
[03:36] <Starnestommy> KRaZy_WaKa: only a very small amount
[03:36] <brody> yea, I did that, but what I meant was how do i go about installing the actual os?
[03:36] <bring3> elmer, ok what happens if you go to http://192.168.1.245/ in your browser?
[03:36] <m_newton> router is fine, forwarding on my ipaddress on port 80
[03:36] <Bllz> can anybody help me diagnose/fix my samba share?
[03:36] <lastelement0> ﻿﻿hey all, im trying to install 8.04 on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop, and i booted into the live cd and when i chose install and got to the partitioning section, nothing showed up to select and i couldn't go forward. what should i do?
[03:36] <Flannel> brody: Pop that CD into the drive and reboot (and make sure you're BIOS is set to boot to CD)
[03:36] <Bllz> lastelement0:  what are the specs of your toshiba?
[03:37] <mbrandt> brody you can't install an ISO file, you need to burn the IMAGE to a cdrom
[03:37] <m_newton> Starnestommy: and firewall in router is overruled by portforwared, ubuntu firewall... nah!
[03:37] <elmer> Oh no
[03:37] <elmer> it's still not showing up
[03:37] <elmer> maybe it connected to the neighbor's wifi?
[03:37] <mbrandt> brody
[03:37] <m_newton> Starnestommy: what is the update intervel in no-ip2?
[03:37] <KRaZy_WaKa> Starnestommy: is the likelihood increased if i have an NTFS volume? just for storage no windows on it.
[03:37] <Starnestommy> m_newton: I'm not sure
[03:37] <elmer> Umm... maybe it connected to the neighbor's wifi?
[03:37] <brody> flannel, thanks, I think I get it now
[03:37] <m_newton> Starnestommy: from 1-30 which update more frequently
[03:38] <bring3> elmer, by "it" you mean your computer?
[03:38] <brody> thanks mbrandt too, btw
[03:38] <mbrandt> brody, an iso file is a compressed file like a zip or tar file that contains the info, you need a burning program that will make it useful
[03:38] <onthefence928> bring3: hey I followed your instructions and it almost started working fine, but now firefox won't start
[03:38] <Starnestommy> KRaZy_WaKa: NTFS and malware aren't related, just windows and malware
[03:38] <Bllz> My samba shares suddenly become inaccessible to clients for no apparent reason ... I think it may have to do with me logging out/restarting the computer.  That shouldn't happen, right?
[03:38] <nickrud> s/windows/os/
[03:38] <bring3> onthefence928, yikes, did you have any errors during install or the dist-upgrade command?
[03:38] <lastelement0> bllz: intel celeron M, 60gb hd , ati graphics,512 mb ram
[03:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> Starnestommy: ok, thanx
[03:39] <brody> mbrandt, thanks, but it's actually on a cd already
[03:39] <onthefence928> bring3: not really no
[03:39] <scifiguy951> ???keyloggers???
[03:39] <mbrandt> brody, if the file on the cd ends in .iso you cannot install that
[03:39] <brody> my question (which was poorly worded) was how would I install that once it is on the cd
[03:39] <superkuh> Is the /lib64 directory on 8.04 simply a link to /lib?
[03:39] <mbrandt> you need a burning software that will make the image file into something useful
[03:40] <Bllz> lastelement0:  i'm not sure but your lappy may not be able to run the livecd.  I had a satellite once that couldn't.  I'd reccommend you use the alternate install and see if that works.  Also, if you can't run the liveCD, Xubuntu might be your best bet.
[03:40] <pawan> how to uninstall ubuntu
[03:40] <mbrandt> oh brody, most PCs will autoboot
[03:40] <mbrandt> to the cdrom
[03:40] <bring3> onthefence928, is there any error when firefox starts? you might want to use the system monitor to make sure there are no old firefox processes running
[03:40] <Starnestommy> pawan: erase its partition
[03:40] <lastelement0> Bllz: ive gotten the livecd to run, its when i choose to install, i get to the partitioning section and nothing appears to choose
[03:41] <brody> oh ok, that makes my life 10x easier!  thanks mbrandt =)
[03:41] <mbrandt> no charge brody ;)
[03:41] <Bllz> lastelement0:  oh!  I misread your question.  My bad!
[03:41] <onthefence928> ﻿bring3: nope no orphaned firefox processes
[03:41] <Bllz> or rater, i read it way too fast
[03:41] <Bllz> *rather
[03:41] <onthefence928> ﻿bring3:: but there are like 6 instances of "getty"
[03:41] <lastelement0> bllz: its all good lol
[03:42] <KRaZy_WaKa> wassup theFATMAN
[03:42] <macaco> hello all
[03:42] <scifiguy951> ???keyloggers???
[03:42] <bring3> onthefence928, try running firefox from the terminal, i think it will output more info about errors that are occurring (ps i have no idea what "getty" is but i don't think its related to FF)
[03:42] <Starnestommy> scifiguy951: what about keyloggers?
[03:42] <Bllz> lastelement:  i would try to use gparted from the live interface.  you might be able to see if there's some kind of weird flag or setting set on your disk... but i honestly don't know.
[03:42] <nickrud> scifiguy951 what about them?
[03:42] <onthefence928> ﻿bring3: what's the command to run firefox?
[03:43] <Bllz> My samba shares suddenly become inaccessible to clients for no apparent reason ... I think it may have to do with me logging out/restarting the computer.  That shouldn't happen, right?
[03:43] <speeddemon8803> onthefence928, firefox
[03:43] <bring3> onthefence928, i think that's correct, try it :)
[03:43] <deezy> if someone says to "dit the file located in ~/.wine/user.reg".. where do I find that file?
[03:43] <deezy> edit*

[03:44] <scifiguy951> are there any good user friendly ones for ubuntu??
[03:44] <onthefence928> bring3: I thought there was a keyword for it
[03:44] <onthefence928> like you need sudo apt-get to install
[03:44] <bring3> scifiguy951, ones of what?
[03:45] <ShinjinAkage> I have a windows program installed under wine and it's a free trial. I have the program to register it and turn the trial period off but it edits the registry. Is it safe to run?
[03:45] <linuxmonkey> bring3: he's looking for keyloggers
[03:45] <scifiguy951> so i can veiw everything that gets typed in on my  comp
[03:45] <bring3> onthefence928, there is, and its "firefox" :D
[03:45] <macaco> i have  Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) i can eneable wireless on ubuntu 8.04
[03:45] <bring3> onthefence928, hmm, well that is an interesting error, not quite sure what to make of it
[03:45] <codename> Anyone know how to add Sabayon to the GRUB list?
[03:45] <onthefence928> bring3: heh, well I typed it in and that's my error
[03:45] <nickrud> scifiguy951 lkl , that's the only one I know of
[03:45] <macaco> i can't
[03:45] <codename> I installed Sabayon, but cannot boot into it, It's not on the list.
[03:45] <elmer> yep
[03:45] <elmer> still not working :(
[03:46] <elmer> I am about to give up
[03:46] <bring3> onthefence928, yah im going to do a little searching for it
[03:46] <scifiguy951> k
[03:46] <codename> Anyone know how to add Sabayon to the GRUB list?
[03:46] <macaco> i have  Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) i can't eneable wireless on ubuntu 8.04
[03:46] <Starnestommy> codename: it depends on which partition it's on, the path to its kernel image, and the path to its initrd image.  Someone in #sabayon probably knows more about it
[03:46] <scifiguy951> i will try it out
[03:46] <onthefence928> bring3: cool thnx
[03:46] <codename> k
[03:47] <bring3> elmer, can you disable wireless or whatever, and plug into the router to confirm you are connected to it?
[03:47] <nickrud> scifiguy951 'easy to use' it ain't
[03:48] <Ashfire908> I have a linux gateway, does cpu load on the machine effect network performance of the machine doing NAT and stuff?
[03:48] <elmer> bring3, I will try, but I can visibly see that the ethernet cord goes directly into the WAP54G, and the lights for both are on.
[03:48] <j800r> hey. anyone in here use moblock?
[03:48] <c0Ld> My sound isn't nearly as loud as it's able to get on other distros and windows, and I've tried just about everything. I've turned up every single control possible and switch between autodetect, alsa, oss, and pulseaudio all with no results. Am I missing something here? Is there a volume cap somewhere?
[03:49] <Frenchy> Can i use /dev/stdout in ubuntu? I'm trying to stream to an icecast server using ffmpeg2theora and oggfwd using /dev/stdout
[03:49] <nomasteryoda> c0Ld, did you try "alsamixer" in the terminal?
[03:49] <Falstius> I got a new phone (Nokia Xpressmusic 5310) which is supposed to look like a USB harddrive to the computer.  When I plug it in I get the import photos dialog (and that works) but it won't mount.  How can I get it to mount like a HD instead?  Running Gutsy.
[03:49] <lastelement0> ﻿﻿hey all, im trying to install 8.04 on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop, and i booted into the live cd and when i chose install and got to the partitioning section, nothing showed up to select and i couldn't go forward. what should i do?
[03:49] <mbrandt> hey elmer, stupid question, but is your pc on the same ip subnet as your routers default IP address?
[03:49] <c0Ld> nomasteryoda: Yes, I set everything to 100% and it's still not as loud as I'd like it to be able to get.
[03:50] <mbrandt> and can you ping the ip?
[03:50] <bring3> elmer, ok that sounds good but you said you weren't sure before, can you confirm that your connection between the pc and router is established, then go to http://192.168.1.245/ in your browser?
[03:50] <nomasteryoda> c0Ld, hmm,
[03:50] <abarbaccia> I have a module (usbhid) and specified options for it in /etc/modprobe.d/options. When it loads at boot, the options aren't being used, but after reloading the module manually they are. Any comments or explanations? Thanks!!
[03:50] <j800r> does anyone in this room use moblock and deluge?
[03:50] <F3M4> Hi all, I can't seem to find the trash folder on an NTFS partion it doesn't seem to be .trash-"username"..... any help?
[03:51] <c0Ld> nomasteryoda: I'm using headphones, so my only guess at this point is that there's some kind of volume control cap on headphones in ubuntu that I'm not seeing :/
[03:52] <elmer> Hmm...
[03:52] <elmer> bring3, that didn't exactly work
[03:53] <k20a> should i do vmware or dual boot if i am installing win98 to interact with a serial data device (aem ems)
[03:53] <mbrandt> hey elmer, stupid question, but is your pc on the same ip subnet as your routers default IP address?
[03:53] <F3M4> Nvm got it
[03:53] <bring3> elmer, what is the error?
[03:53] <elmer> mbrandt, my PC is 192.168.1.42, Router is 192.168.1.1, WAP54G is 192.168.1.245 (or it should be)
[03:53] <mbrandt> ah
[03:53] <elmer> bring3, firefox gives a page not found error
[03:54] <mbrandt> can you ping the *.245 address elmer?
[03:54] <scifiguy951> how do i get root privledges???
[03:54] <k20a> use sudo
[03:54] <scifiguy951> i need to set a key log file and i cant in term
[03:54] <Starnestommy> scifiguy951: sudo

[03:56] <nomasteryoda> c0Ld, there is a control for headphones jack on my system... its a dell
[03:56] <bring3> oh elmer, if you have a router and the wap54g on the same network, they are likely getting confused about IP addresses
[03:56] <elmer> and my PC's ethernet light shows up

[03:57] <Onyx> I just did something stupid on accident, and need help reversing it... I did this command:  "sudo mv tmproot/ /usr/lib/* /lib32
[03:57] <Onyx> "
[03:57] <scifiguy951> can any one help?
[03:57] <Zoem> I have a USB stick, which is recognized, but refuses to mount. Any suggestions?
[03:58] <onthefence928> bring3: not sure if this helps but I seem to have at least residual installs of firefox 2, firefox 3b5, firefox 3 RC 2, and some gran parasido version
[03:58] <mbrandt> elmer do you have another pc that you can p[lug directly into the WAP54?
[03:58] <scifiguy951> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[03:58] <scifiguy951> what does that mean?
[03:58] <mohamed_> Zoem-> how you mount it ?
[03:58] <scifiguy951> in terminal
[03:58] <bring3> elmer, hrm i think you would need to enable that mode, but to do so requires the web interface :)
[03:58] <elmer> mbrandt, I do, but this one is also plugged directly into my pc
[03:58] <Onyx> I just did something stupid on accident, and need help reversing it... I did this command:  "sudo mv tmproot/ /usr/lib/* /lib32"
[03:58] <Bllz> can anybody help me figure out why my samba shares stop being detected by my client after a reboot/log-out of the server?
[03:58] <Zoem> mohamed_, right click on the icon in computer, select mount
[03:58] <elmer> bring3, therein lies the rub
[03:58] <bring3> onthefence928, hmm strange, im searching for that error but the stuff that shows up seems unrelated
[03:59] <mbrandt> elmer, but you have 2 layer 3 devices on your lan at this point
[03:59] <mbrandt> elmer, bith are trying to be the traffic director
[03:59] <mbrandt> bith=both
[03:59] <bring3> elmer, what you probably want to do is disconnect the WAP54 and your computer from the rest of the network, which should let you get to the admin pages, change the settings, then reconnect
[03:59] <elmer> mbrandt, the other PC is connected via ethernet to the WRT54G, the main router
[03:59] <elmer> bring3, I'm not sure how to disconnect the WAP54G from the network
[04:00] <m_newton> Starnestommy: hey, i am on live cd, time for a new partition
[04:00] <onthefence928> bring3: like what? maybe I did something to screw up something
[04:00] <k20a>  should i do vmware or dual boot if i am installing win98 to interact with a serial data device (aem ems)
[04:00] <bring3> elmer, unplug it??
[04:00] <m_newton> Starnestommy: any good thing i should remember to install
[04:00] <Bllz>  can anybody help me figure out why my samba shares stop being detected by my client after a reboot/log-out of the server?
[04:00] <elmer> bring3, it's wireless...
[04:00] <mohamed_> Zoem->  you can use command line to mount it create any dir e.g /media/tmp then mount it
[04:00] <Starnestommy> m_newton: I don't think a complete reinstall is necessary for this
[04:00] <elmer> maybe remove the antennas?
[04:00] <bring3> onthefence928, maybe, but im not sure what...
[04:00] <Bllz> will deleting samba and reinstalling it blank all of the config files?
[04:00] <Bllz> and settings?
[04:00] <k20a> blLz what u doing to make it work again after reboot?
[04:01] <Zoem> mohamed_, oh, I should try that, thank you
[04:01] <Bllz> k20a:  usually deleting the directory and re-creating the share
[04:01] <speeddemon8803> brb, gotta go potty break
[04:01] <doomba> ZOMG TEH INTERNETS
[04:01] <Bllz> k20a:  it's weird because right now it says the shares are active
[04:01] <rsvampire> my gdm is totally 100% broken can anybody help me fix it?
[04:01] <onthefence928> bring3: I am on wubi on a laptop
[04:01] <bring3> elmer, wireless usually is not enable by default, just make sure you have the WAP54 connected to 1 computer, and that neither are connected to anything else
[04:01] <doomba> THIS PLACE IS TEH COOLEST
[04:01] <onthefence928> in case you care
[04:01] <Onyx> Nobody?
[04:01] <doomba> SRSLY THOUGH
[04:02] <elmer> bring3, I am so confused right now... I thought the red power light meant error or something
[04:02] <elmer> but I don't really know
[04:02] <bring3> onthefence928, hmmm that might be related, sorry im not quite sure
[04:02] <doomba> ITS WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY ADOLESCENCE
[04:02] <k20a> bllz is it possible its client side
[04:02] <elmer> I'll unplug everything and try to access it
[04:02] <elmer> Starting now
[04:02] <elmer> brb
[04:02] <elmer> hopefully
[04:02] <FloodBot3> elmer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <Bllz> k20a:  what would cause it?  it usually connects without trouble initially
[04:02] <elmer> Sorry FloodBot3 :(
[04:02] <rsvampire> can anybody supply me with a factory gdm.conf file?
[04:03] <kappaccino> had anyone encounter unclickable buttons within wine windows?
[04:03] <bring3> elmer, hmm idk about the lights, probably there is just some conflict between that and your other router, so if it is on a separate network it should work
[04:03] <k20a> bllz i have no idea what would cause it but i bet its happened to others so i would hop on google
[04:03] <m_newton> Starnestommy: ya, thats why i am creating new partition
[04:03] <kappaccino> I was running a credit approval application at work today and it got to a prompt then it was.... unclickable under wine
[04:04] <Bllz> k20a:  yeah google doesn't ahve much...i checked.  thanks for the attention though ;-)
[04:04] <doomba> ANYONE HERE FROM /b/?
[04:04] <k20a> well i willl look into it so stick around :)
[04:04] <Starnestommy> !ot | doomba
[04:04] <m_newton> General QUESTION TO ALL: What are good softwares to install if you wish to run a web server??????????
[04:04] <kei_> is there a ubuntu package for putty? I am not able to comile it from source
[04:04] <warriorforgod> m_newton: apache
[04:05] <doomba> I JUST GOT b& today
[04:05] <doomba> what starnestommy
[04:05] <warriorforgod> m_newton: mysql and php as well
[04:05] <Starnestommy> doomba: you are off topic.  This channel is for Ubuntu support only
[04:05] <doomba> OH
[04:05] <Starnestommy> kei_: there is
[04:05] <m_newton> warriorforgod: so just get lampp? :)
[04:05] <mohamed_> m_newton-> LAMP :)
[04:05] <rsvampire> can anybody help me fix my gdm or supply me with a factory gdm.conf file?
[04:06] <warriorforgod> m_newton yes
[04:06] <kei_> awesome I will just pull the package then from the site.
[04:06] <Starnestommy> kei_: sudo apt-get install putty
[04:06] <kei_> Thank you Starnestommy
[04:06] <kei_> woot
[04:06] <mbrandt> m_newton do a LAMP install (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Php)
[04:06] <mbrandt> m_newton it is an install option on the server version, or at least it used to be
[04:06] <m_newton> ANYTHING ELSE for a webserver besides LAMP
[04:06] <Zoem> how do I determine which USB device is my memory stick? it shows up in lsusb, but doesnt say which device in /dev it is
[04:07] <mbrandt> m_newton  that should do ya
[04:07] <mohamed_> m_newton-> it depend on what will you use in
[04:07] <Starnestommy> m_newton: lighttpd or thttpd may also work, but they're nowhere near as good as apache
[04:07] <mbrandt> Zoem look under /media that's where mine show up all the time
[04:08] <m_newton> mohamed_: i wnat it as a web server, also i wnat to be able to have my own mail server? How do i do that bytheway?
[04:08] <Zoem> mbrandt, the problem is I can't get it to mount, so it isn't showing up there
[04:08] <mbrandt> d'oh sorry
[04:08] <elmer> well that did not work
[04:08] <Zoem> it's ok :)
[04:08] <elmer> I'm out of ideas
[04:08] <bring3> onthefence928, try running "sudo firefox"?
[04:09] <m_newton> mbrandt: mohamed_ Starnestommy Any ideas on how to have a mail server, so i send mail to username@no-ip.biz
[04:09] <superkuh> I am having issues using arbitrary qt libraries under 8.04 64bit. http://pastebin.com/df4c016
[04:09] <onthefence928> bring3: awesome, I get a segfault
[04:09] <elmer> bring3, mbrandt, got any more ideas?
[04:10] <rsvampire> I'm having issues with the GDM can anybody help me solve it?
[04:10] <mbrandt> elmer, you have mne stumped man
[04:10] <Starnestommy> m_newton: you'll need an smtp server like postfix and a pop or imap server like dovecot
[04:10] <m_newton> mbrandt: mohamed_ Starnestommy Any ideas on how to have a mail server, so i send mail to username@___What Is A free domain i can use___ is noip even an option?
[04:10] <sea_wolf> ﻿does anyone here happen to know a good way to get DVDs to play?  The VLC gives me funny error messages, and media player tends to say I don't have access.
[04:10] <mohamed_> Zoem->  can you past these commands  sudo fdisk -l , mount command of course on past site :)
[04:10] <bring3> elmer, try plugging the WAN ethernet port on the WAP into one of the LAN ports on the WTG, then plug your laptop into a LAN port on the WAP
[04:10] <Onyx> I just did something stupid on accident, and need help reversing it... I did this command:  "sudo mv tmproot/ /usr/lib/* /lib32"
[04:11] <bring3> elmer, reset the WAP once more, and see if you have an internet connection on the laptop
[04:11] <Zoem> m_newton, I am particularly fond of postfix for for mail server, ubuntu also has exim4 (very popular)
[04:11] <Maxdamantus> Onyx, mv /lib32/tmproot tmproot
[04:11] <bring3> elmer, did you see those last 2 posts of mine to you?
[04:11] <elmer> bring3, I do not think so
[04:11] <elmer> bring3, what were they?
[04:12] <Maxdamantus> Depending on whether or not you had something in /lib32 before, mv /lib32/usr/lib/
[04:12] <m_newton> Starnestommy: so with LAMP, i need no-ip2 & postfix & dovecot correct anything else, what will the email address be, do i need to buy anything like a domin of some type, will no-ip work?? Any idea on how to configure these??
[04:12] <Zoem> sorry, what is the pastebin site this channel uses again?
[04:12] <Maxdamantus> But only do the 2nd command if you know there was nothing in /lib32 before.
[04:12] <mbrandt> okay, the tornado warning is over, I'm going to try to crash now...nighty night
[04:12] <Starnestommy> m_newton: i think no-ip will work
[04:12] <the-stace> i am the-stace :)
[04:12] <bring3> onthefence928, follow the instructions on that link i sent you to downgrade to FFb5, then run from terminal and post any error you get in the forum
[04:12] <mohamed_> Zoen any e.g http://phpfi.com
[04:12] <m-c> Q: How do I turn off 5.1 surround sound?
[04:12] <Bllz> will uninstalling and subsequently reinstalling Samba destroy all of my configuration settings for samba?
[04:12] <bring3> onthefence928, im thinking this is not a Firefox issue but something else
[04:13] <astro76> Bllz: only --purge option will remove configs
[04:13] <bring3> bring3> elmer, reset the WAP once more, and see if you have an internet connection on the laptop
[04:13] <Paulao> what arp command does?
[04:13] <Bllz> astro76:  can that be done via apt-get?
 elmer, try plugging the WAN ethernet port on the WAP into one of the LAN ports on the WTG, then plug your laptop into a LAN port on the WAP
[04:13] <Zoem> m_newton, I use no-ip with postfix, dovecot, ssh, apache, and ftpd. I think you will be fine with all of or any :)
[04:13] <astro76> Bllz: of course
[04:13] <bring3> elmer, oop those are in the wrong order, do the reconnecting then reset again
[04:13] <rsvampire> can anybody give me the factory /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file?
[04:13] <onthefence928> bring3: ok so if I reinstall ubuntu it'll all work I guess
[04:13] <Bllz> astro76:  is it sudo apt-get purge samba smbfs?
[04:13] <computer13137> Hello.  I have a server upstairs running Ubuntu.  I want to open an SSH tunnel from that server to another server - then use the SSH tunnel as a SOCKS5 proxy from other computers on my network.  It is explained in the following diagram.  (http://www.imghost.oabw.net/img/1212613085.png)  How would I go about doing it?
[04:13] <astro76> Bllz: apt-get remove --purge
[04:14] <onthefence928> bring3: how much you know about partitioing a drive?
[04:14] <Bllz> astro76:  package name after purge or before the --?
[04:14] <e|mer> I hate my WiFi
[04:14] <bring3> onthefence928, you can definitely try that, really not sure what is causing the error, if reinstalling is too much of a problem then post and someone might know how to fix it :)
[04:14] <e|mer> it's official
[04:14] <sea_wolf> I try to play a DVD, movie player says "can't read from resource"......VLC tells me "unable to find map file..."  ??  any clues?
[04:14] <astro76> Bllz: at the end
[04:14] <m_newton> Starnestommy: so what will it be. username @my website lets say for example username@SomeGuyOnCerialBox.no-ip.biz?? Where do i set my username
[04:14] <Bllz> thank you very much, astro76!
[04:14] <bring3> onthefence928, some, whats your question? im less familiar with Wubi but ill try to help :)
[04:14] <Starnestommy> m_newton: in the mail server's configuration, I think
[04:15] <Maxdamantus> computer13137, from the "server upstairs", `ssh -D1080 user@host` (where user@host is valid)
[04:15] <Zoem> mohamed_, http://phpfi.com/321859
[04:15] <computer13137> Maxdamantus: Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[04:15] <bring3> lol e|mer did you see what i had suggested?
[04:15] <Maxdamantus> Then other computers on the network will be able to connect to port 1080 there.
[04:15] <Maxdamantus> Make sure it's not public though.
[04:15] <agomez> Hi. I know this is a dumb question, but I dont know how to connect my dhcp server. I want to "bypass" a sonicwall firewall and use the server's firewall. The sonicwall is connected to an adtran box (wan) and then to my switch (lan).
[04:15] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: for hardy?
[04:15] <rsvampire> can somebody give me a factory /etc/gdm/gdm.config file? mine is corrupted
[04:15] <m_newton> Zoem Starnestommy any ideas how to configure the mail server?
[04:15] <Maxdamantus> (Otherwise anyone can connect to the server's port 1080 and proxy through)
[04:15] <e|mer> bring3, no >.<
[04:15] <Starnestommy> m_newton: I've never set one up, sorry
[04:15] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: yes please
[04:16] <onthefence928> bring3: yeah I'm gonna have to anyways, I want a thrice-partitioned drive, one with win XP( I already have it installed , came with the computer), another compartment for ubuntu/linux, and a third, larger compartment as a common storage
 elmer, try plugging the WAN ethernet port on the WAP into one of the LAN ports on the WTG, then plug your laptop into a LAN port on the WAP
[04:16] <e|mer> I was thinking of disabling DHCP on the WRT54G and seeing if that works
[04:16] <Zoem> m_newton, do you want the easy way, or the way people will respect you? I would suggest you use webmin, which can do a lot of the configuration for you
[04:16] <scifiguy951> which file is my keymap file for my key board?
[04:16] <bring3> bring3> elmer, reset the WAP once more, and see if you have an internet connection on the laptop
[04:16] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: I'll pastebin it in about 5 minutes
[04:16] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: I changed my gdm theme and it freakin broke... now I can't seem to get the thing back up and running properly
[04:16] <computer13137> Maxdamantus: Are you sure about that?  It's not working.
[04:16] <scifiguy951> i need it for a keylogger
[04:16] <scifiguy951> ??
[04:16] <agomez> I have 2 interfaces, external and internal, so what I was doing is connect the wan to the external and lan to the internal... but Im not sure if this is right...
[04:16] <onthefence928> bring3: but I don't have my windows install CD
[04:16] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: ok
[04:16] <mohamed_> Zoem-> the usb flash is 1 G ?
[04:16] <SuN13> should i download all the security updates or discriminate?
[04:16] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: the xorg.conf file and gdm.conf aren't linked are they/
[04:17] <Zoem> mohamed_, yes
[04:17] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: they're not linked
[04:17] <Zoem> oh, stupid, I see it there
[04:17] <bring3> onthefence928, ok well hopefully that works, fyi Wubi is used to let Linux install inside the Windows partition, but you can also make a separate partition if you like
[04:17] <m_newton> Zoem both, i wnat to be a pro at this so i want to know the hard way, but i also want to try the easy way
[04:17] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: x uses xorg.conf, and gdm uses gdm.conf, but gd, does start x
[04:17] <Starnestommy> *gdm
[04:17] <e|mer> bring3, the WAP54G has one LAN port, labeled "LAN", one reset button labeled "RESET", and a power plug labeled "POWER"
[04:17] <bring3> onthefence928, i don't think you need it, but you must have some free HD space, or some way to resize the Windows partition
[04:17] <lastelement0> im trying to install ubuntu via cd and when i get to th partitioning phase, the installer is not seeing the hard drive. what should i do?
[04:17] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: ok because my gdm is broken... but when I log in my resolution is down to 640x480 instead of the 1440x900 it was at before it broke
[04:17] <scifiguy951> which file is my keymap file for my key board?
[04:17] <mohamed_> Zoem-> this is /dev/sdc, only first we look at mount if is mounted or not can you past mount result ?
[04:17] <Zoem> m_newton, the hard way is pretty simple. download the entire manual for your mail server (exim4 is like 300 pages) and read it.
[04:18] <Maxdamantus> computer13137, while the SSH session is open, use a program (Eg Firefox, Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings) to set a SOCKS5 proxy (hostname being the IP/host of the "computer upstairs", and port being 1080)
[04:18] <Zoem> mohamed_, yes, was just about to :)
[04:18] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: there might already be a factory copy at /etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf
[04:18] <scifiguy951> can someone help me?
[04:18] <computer13137> Maxdamantus: It wasn't working but I think I know why, one second.
[04:18] <doomba> someone unban subway in the powerpc channel please
[04:18] <onthefence928> bring3: yeah I know, but I feel that maybe I got too eager and didn't have enough soace for my wubi install
[04:18] <Maxdamantus> computer13137, if you do it in Firefox, you need to leave all fields above the "SOCKS Host" blank.
[04:18] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: I don't have those files
[04:18] <m_newton> Zoem ... aaaa ...... what was the simple way again? :P lol
[04:18] <onthefence928> bring3: and I was thinking maybe some shit got corrupted
[04:19] <Zoem> mohamed_, that was the one, thank you
[04:19] <lastelement0> ﻿im trying to install ubuntu via cd and when i get to th partitioning phase, the installer is not seeing the hard drive. what should i do?
[04:19] <bring3> onthefence928, hmm that is possible, running out of HD space can cause some strange errors
[04:19] <k20a> bllz: http://pastebin.org/40484
[04:19] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: i have gdm.conf and gdm.conf-custom both of which are blank when opened
[04:19] <rledge21> New Ubuntu install...I'm getting "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" when I try to play a video(avi/wmv tested so far)...how can I try to reinstall codecs?
[04:19] <m_newton> ﻿lastelement0 What is your hard drive
[04:19] <ryan__> hey
[04:19] <e|mer> IDEA! Maybe the main router for our wifi network is trying to tell the bridge/WAP that it should be something other than *.245, so it kills itself
[04:19] <e|mer> Could that be it, bring3
[04:19] <Zoem> m_newton, webmin. It's a web based server administration tool. very conveniant, the problem with it is that it doesn't really teach you what is going on
[04:20] <TwiztidMind> hey will some1 tell me how u Pronounce Ubuntu is it 'you-bin-too'??
[04:20] <computer13137> Maxdamantus: Can you do PMs?
[04:20] <Zoem> m_newton, so to learn anything (like how to fix it) can take longer
[04:20] <computer13137> Maxdamantus: This is a bit congested.
[04:20] <ryan__> I was just curious what you guys think is the best IRC program? I am currently using XChat, but don't know if there is better.
[04:20] <Maxdamantus> computer13137, I guess so.
[04:20] <jrib> TwiztidMind: ooboontoo
[04:20] <e|mer> I just don't want to disable DHCP because other people are using DHCP on the network
[04:20] <onthefence928> bring3: I know I have plenty of HD space, for now anyways
[04:20] <bring3> e|mer, that is surprising about the ports, im bringing up the WAP54G manual now :D
[04:20] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: maybe irssi
[04:20] <jrib> !pronounce | TwiztidMind
[04:20] <Starnestommy> er, ryan__
[04:20] <rledge21> TwiztidMind, ooo-bun-too
[04:20] <TwiztidMind> ok thanks, that was my next guess
[04:20] <e|mer> bring3, OK. I have V2.
[04:20] <onthefence928> bring3: would that work ofr wubi's install space too?
[04:20] <idef> is there anyway to just hide the mouse pointer, I want to use it as a display machine, and not have the mouse pointer show up, as there are no input devices for my machine
[04:20] <m_newton> Zoem ... how about wikipedia, i doubt ppl post the whole guide there, u think hey will have solutions
[04:21] <Zoem> they might have general pointers, but I don't think it will be anything in depth
[04:21] <Starnestommy> rsvampire: try http://paste.ubuntu.com/16747/
[04:21] <bring3> onthefence928, i think you have an option to set amount of space to use for the virtual Linux partition, so that will appear to be the size of the HD when Linux runs
[04:21] <Zoem> m_newton, the ubuntu forums is where I picked up most of what I know about postfix configurating. I set it up with webmin, the manually fixed it whenever it broke, and can find my way around pretty decently
[04:21] <m_newton> Zoem so you suggest reading the whole guide for this software? REcomend!
[04:22] <Wyleyrabbit_> i
[04:22] <Wyleyrabbit_> oops
[04:22] <onthefence928> bring3: yeah I chose 8 or 10g I can't remember
[04:22] <scifiguy951> can someone help me!! with lkl??
[04:22] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: alright let me restart and see what happens
[04:22] <onthefence928> bring3: is there to check how much of that is left?
[04:22] <Zoem> m_newton, lolno. it's insane and details every technical aspect of what is possibly the most comprehensive mail server
[04:22] <m_newton> What is the diffrence between ssh and sshd????????
[04:23] <Zoem> m_newton, btw, I hate exim4 because it is so hard to set up. I recomend postfix
[04:23] <e|mer> bring3, the manual has 30s more for the download on my end
[04:23] <Starnestommy> m_newton: ssh is the client, sshd is the server
[04:23] <Wyleyrabbit_> I'm trying to copy a dvd iso to an external hard disk, and it started fast but is taking FOREVER. Is there any way of speeding this up? ( I just dragged it from the local dir to the remote drive )
[04:23] <matthias_N> hi anybody know how to track down memory leaks and from where it comes ???
[04:23] <m_newton> Zoem: postfix it is
[04:23] <Baron1984> memory leaks come from bad coding
[04:23] <onthefence928> bring3: well supposedly I have all of 30.5 mb freespace in my "filesystem" drive
[04:23] <m_newton> Starnestommy: ?? still a bit confused
[04:23] <onthefence928> bring3: and it says it has 20.x gigs of space used
[04:24] <m_newton> Starnestommy: what are tthe uses for ssh and sshd
[04:24] <onthefence928> and rising
[04:24] <ghindo> Can anyone recommend a good command-line CD burning tool?  I wanna burn an ISO to a CD on a remote machine
[04:24] <detrate> My desktop is "zoomed in" - does anyone know how to exit this mode?
[04:24] <Starnestommy> m_newton: ssh is the client that you use to log into an ssh server
[04:24] <Starnestommy> m_newton: sshd is the server that lets other users log in remotely to the computer that it runs on
[04:24] <m_newton> Starnestommy: Moreover HOW to use sshd, i already know small bit of ssh
[04:24] <todoski> hi
[04:24] <todoski> how do I install ubuntu from hard disk?
[04:25] <mohamed_> detrate-> you use compiz ?
[04:25] <todoski> i've downloaded the iso file
[04:25] <detrate> no
[04:25] <Starnestommy> m_newton: all you have to do is install openssh-server to run sshd.  By default, you shouldn't need to reconfigure it
[04:25] <detrate> but the hotkey may apply
[04:25] <detrate> what is it?
[04:25] <m_newton> Starnestommy: So what is ssh used for, i can login by saying ssh username@something.no-ip.biz -p 80
[04:26] <mohamed_> detrate->  super+1
[04:26] <bring3> !medibuntu
[04:26] <kittyhawk> hi
[04:26] <Lachlan> Hi guys, I'm trying to get my Intel 945G working on my system, which is currently doing software rendering. Does anybody have any suggestions for how I can do this? It doesn't seem to work if I simply specify the "i810" driver in my xorg.conf.
[04:26] <Starnestommy> m_newton: port 80 is http.  By default, ssh is port 22
[04:26] <Bllz> when i try to connect to an SMB share (samba) on my ubuntu box via a vista client, I get the following error:  "the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:  the pecified server cannot perform the requested operation."
[04:26] <Zoem> m_newton, it would actually be ssh -l username something.no-ip.biz
[04:26] <bring3> rledge21, you want to add Medibuntu repository in System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Third Party Software
[04:26] <Bllz> anybody know what the problem is?
[04:27] <bring3> rledge21, also, you might try installing VLC: sudo apt-get install vlc
[04:27] <m_newton> Zoem: why -l
[04:27] <m_newton> Starnestommy: ya but port 80 is the only port open in my school
[04:27] <e|mer> bring3, maybe I'm completely wrong about this thing
[04:27] <e|mer> bring3, maybe it's not a bridge at all
[04:27] <e|mer> maybe it's just an AP
[04:27] <Starnestommy> m_newton: what about 443?
[04:27] <kittyhawk> I've filled up my /boot partition, and I can't uninstall old kernels because apt-get wants me to run dpkg --configure -a which tries to finish installing a new kernel, which fails because /boot is full
[04:27] <rledge21> bring3: thanks
[04:27] <m_newton> Starnestommy: that too
[04:27] <Zoem> m_newton, -l tells it that you will supply the login name. otherwise it will ask you for it
[04:27] <bring3> onthefence928, 30mb of free space is extremely low, that is likely causing the other problems, what could be using 20gb of space???
[04:28] <Scooma> kittyhawk: have you cleared everything out of /tmp ?
[04:28] <Starnestommy> m_newton: try adding "Port 443" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config to make it listen on port 443
[04:28] <onthefence928> bring3: my guess? my lack of understanding
[04:28] <kittyhawk> it's only /boot that's full
[04:28] <bring3> rledge21, sure thing, just ask if you have trouble getting medibuntu enabled
[04:28] <diefordethklok> Can anyone help me on getting my microphone to wokr?
[04:28] <m_newton> Zoem not really, i have loged in without having to do so
[04:28] <Scooma> kittyhawk: it's on it's own partition?
[04:28] <bring3> onthefence928, lolol, well if you can figure out what is causing that and delete the extra files that might fix your problems :)
[04:29] <diefordethklok> I tried sound recorder with every capture option, but the recordings are all blank
[04:29] <diefordethklok> And yes my speakers are turned on
[04:29] <onthefence928> bring3: ok whoa, my filesystem drive is 200gigs large
[04:29] <Bllz>  when i try to connect to an SMB share (samba) on my ubuntu box via a vista client, I get the following error:  "the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:  the pecified server cannot perform the requested operation."
[04:29] <m_newton> Starnestommy: i will later, it is creating the partition now so...
[04:29] <Zoem> m_newton, it's possible either way, just changes when you give the login
[04:29] <bring3> e|mer, try connecting the WAP54G directly to your router
[04:29] <amstell1> bliz : do you have port forwarding turned on
[04:29] <lastelement0> m_newton: i have a toshiba mk6032gsx hard drive
[04:29] <kittyhawk> Scooma: yep.  I've had it set up that way forever, since it used to be you couldn't boot off a partition that was too big
[04:29] <Lachlan> Is anybody available to help me get my Intel 945G graphics card working?
[04:29] <m_newton> Starnestommy: so if i can use ssh what is sshd for
[04:30] <Bllz>  when i try to connect to an SMB share (samba) on my ubuntu box via a vista client, I get the following error:  "the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:  the pecified server cannot perform the requested operation."
[04:30] <amstell1> Lachlan : ask your question please.....
[04:30] <rsvampire> Starnestommy: alright that fixed it... thanks man
[04:30] <bring3> e|mer, check page 6 of the manual for LED info :)
[04:30] <Starnestommy> m_newton: sshd is the Secure SHell server Daemon
[04:30] <kittyhawk> Scooma: don't know if that's still true, but anyhow.  I've got 100M in /boot :-(
[04:30] <m_newton> lastelement0: Intel of amd, u are running the correct ad right?
[04:30] <Starnestommy> m_newton: it is the server part of ssh
[04:30] <m_newton> lastelement0: Intel of amd, u are running the correct cd right
[04:30] <onthefence928> bring3: contents, xxxxx items totalling 200.4GB, Location: computer:///, Volume: unkown, Free Space: 3.05MB
[04:30] <Bllz>  when i try to connect to an SMB share (samba) on my ubuntu box via a vista client, I get the following error:  "the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:  the pecified server cannot perform the requested operation."  The shares worked fine before ... all I did was reboot.  Anybody know what the problem might be?
[04:30] <lastelement0> m_newton: intel and i have the correct cd
[04:30] <Lachlan> amstell1: My system is using software rendering no matter what I put in my xorg.conf, even if I use displayconfig-gtk. I have absolutely no idea why, does anybody have any suggestions, or things I can use to check why it won't work?
[04:30] <amstell1> bliz : what were you doing when you got that?
[04:30] <Starnestommy> m_newton: just like apache is the server part of http
[04:31] <m_newton> Starnestommy: so what you are saying is that ssh to connect and sshd to configure
[04:31] <onthefence928> bring those are the properties of my "filesystem" on ubuntu
[04:31] <bring3> onthefence928, this is from within linux? i think wubi sets up the whole drive to be accessible, but the system directories are only part of that
[04:31] <Bllz> amstell1:  i was trying to create a mapped network drive
[04:31] <amstell1> Lachlan : what is wrong with your display?
[04:31] <diefordethklok> ﻿ Can anyone help me on getting my microphone to work?
[04:31] <Scooma> kittyhawk: look into the dir and remove the backup files to make a bit of space?
[04:31] <amstell1> Bliz : you have all your permissions set?
[04:31] <onthefence928> well apparently it's reading every bit of data it has
[04:31] <matthias_N> hi anyone knows how to track down an mempry leak ???
[04:31] <Lachlan> amstell1: It's very laggy because it's using software rendering, rather than my graphics hardware. I'd prefer it was using the graphics hardware.
[04:31] <emet> so I have text in this PDF file, is there any simple way to get my computer to read it back to me?
[04:31] <lastelement0> m_newton: intel and i have the right cd
[04:32] <matthias_N> memory leak ...
[04:32] <Starnestommy> m_newton: no. SSH is the client program that connects to SSHD.  SSHD is the ssh server that SSH connects to.  If SSHD isn't running on a machine, SSH clients cannopt connect to it
[04:32] <m_newton> lastelement0: when you say it cant detect it... did it do so before or are you installing for the first time
[04:32] <bring3> Lachlan, might need to enable proprietary hardware drivers
[04:32] <kittyhawk> Scoome: ok.  I was wondering if there was a principled way to fix it, but I'll go ahead and do that.
[04:32] <amstell1> Lachlan : what type of video card do you use
[04:32] <Lachlan> bring3: How can I do that?
[04:32] <Starnestommy> *cannot
[04:32] <Bllz> amstell1:  in ubuntu?  I guess so.  I have it set so that only user 'louist' can log into it and under vista I specified the apropriate username/pass
[04:32] <Scooma> kittyhawk: actually
[04:32] <lastelement0> m_newtong: installing for first time. switching from windows to linux
[04:32] <Lachlan> amstell1: It's an Intel Integrated card, 945G, i810 chipset I believe.
[04:32] <Scooma> kittyhawk: move the files to another location rather than delete them ;)
[04:32] <onthefence928> bring I know I have way more free space than that
[04:32] <Lachlan> And yes I've installed the appropriate driver packages.
[04:32] <amstell1> Lachlan : did you google anything?
[04:32] <Starnestommy> m_newton: but both of them involve the SSH protocol. The program called "ssh" is just a client for it
[04:33] <m_newton> lastelement0: great! wait i will be right back, i have just now installed from live cd,
[04:33] <Lachlan> amstell1: Been on this problem for a solid 2 days, google and all. :)
[04:33] <onthefence928> bring3: I know that I have more freespace on my HDDs than a few MBs
[04:33] <bring3> Lachlan, System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, see if your video card is listed
[04:33] <Bllz> amstell1:  btw it's Bllz, not Bliz -- sorry it just makes it easier to read since it shows up in red when it's spelled right =)
[04:33] <m_newton> lastelement0 or actually, i will do now, that way i can folly along
[04:33] <Lachlan> bring3: Nothing listed.
[04:33] <bring3> onthefence928, yeah it is possible that the virtual linux partition is full however
[04:33] <amstell1> Lackson : you check this out : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-467775.html
[04:33] <kryx> hail
[04:33] <amstell1> Bllz : sorry
[04:33] <lastelement0> m_newton: okay
[04:34] <Bllz> amstell1:  no harm, no foul! =)  any idea what the issue might be?
[04:34] <e|mer> bring3, I'm giving up for tonight
[04:34] <bring3> hmm Lachlan your card might not be supported :(
[04:34] <matthias_N> anyone knows hot to find prgoram that leaks mamory ???
[04:34] <matthias_N> memory
[04:34] <Starnestommy> m_newton: check the System Monitor
[04:34] <bring3> e|mer, check out the manual, it has some specific instructions
[04:34] <stroyan> Lachlan:  Which ubuntu release are you using?
[04:34] <Starnestommy> er, matthias_N
[04:34] <e|mer> bring3, will do, but I'm out for tonight
[04:35] <m_newton> lastelement0: ok to the point at where it starts the partition manager what happened
[04:35] <bring3> e|mer, you need to connect the WAP54G directly to your router
[04:35] <bring3> e|mer, okies, good luck :)
[04:35] <matthias_N> Starnestommy:  go ahead ...
[04:35] <amstell1> Bllz : ummmm.  Not sure, I've only setup a local smb network and never messed with the network drive....you have the config file done right?
[04:35] <Lachlan> stroyan: Latest, 8.04 maybe? Installed a couple of days ago.
[04:35] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: check the System Monitor
[04:35] <Scooma> Lachlan: internal intel chipsets aren't very powerful
[04:35] <m_newton> lastelement0: do you see prepare disk space
[04:35] <Bllz> amstell1:  i used the right-click and go to "share options" way... I never touched the smb.conf file...
[04:35] <lastelement0> m_newton: i get nothing displaying. like the window is there. but no hard drives are being displayed
[04:35] <Lachlan> Scooma: I know, believe me. :) It's a work machine so I don't have much choice.
[04:35] <Sa[i]nT> How do I mount an iso image?
[04:36] <Bllz> amstell1:  maybe that's the problem?  is there a guide on how to do it via smb.conf?
[04:36] <amstell1> ahhhh ok.....
[04:36] <matthias_N> Starnestommy:  where can i find that program or is it an package to install ...
[04:36] <amstell1> Bllz : yes, 1 sec, i'll get it for you
[04:36] <bring3> Sa[i]nT, i like gmount-iso
[04:36] <Bllz> amstell1:  thanks
[04:36] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: it's in System > Adminisration
[04:36] <Bllz> matthias_N:  Firefox 2 supposedly leaks memory.  I know firefox 1.5 did a lot

[04:41] <Mohenjo> Got a question about tcpdump; I'm trying to look at traffic on the network switch that my laptop is plugged in to, but I'm not seeing much traffic.  I presume this is due to the nature of the switch.  Is there any way to see what's truly going on?
[04:41] <Remo-Con> hey
[04:41] <user01_> mmmm . . . i had my computer running that has been running well for 4 years and a few seconds ago . . . the screen just went bizerk, starting with "snow" like on a channel with no signal
[04:41] <Starnestommy> spokra: it sounds like something was changed in the kernel that's causing a lot of things to go wrong
[04:41] <Neo_The_User> Mohenjo sup

[04:41] <techno_freak> Neo_The_User, hi

[04:42] <Neo_The_User> hey matthias_N
[04:42] <spokra> ﻿Starnestommy: guess i should boot under the old kernel and see if it works... ":>
[04:42] <warriorforgod> onthefence928: Did you buy this laptop new or used?
[04:42] <kittyhawk> okay, but this still isn't working.  How do I dump the old kernels without removing *all* of them?

[04:42] <jedimind> onthefence928: so stolen?
[04:42] <Neo_The_User> ggeecko_ hello
[04:42] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: I think the two programs use different methods of determining used memory
[04:42] <bring3> Remo-Con, ask your question and maybe someone will know :)
[04:42] <onthefence928> ﻿Neo_The_User: hey what's up?
[04:42] <Remo-Con> whatever is around
[04:42] <stroyan> Lachlan:  Your problem may be simpler than that blog discusses. You said you are using the i810 driver.  But you should use the newer 'intel' driver in xorg.conf.
[04:42] <Neo_The_User> hey r0bby
[04:42] <onthefence928> ﻿jedimind: heh, no

[04:43] <bring3> Remo-Con, what is your question?
[04:43] <kittyhawk> Neo_The_User: I typed  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.{20,22}* and it wants to remove my kernel (including the one I'm running, 2.6.24-17)
[04:43] <warriorforgod> onthefence928: What make and model of laptop is it?
[04:43] <Neo_The_User> hey symptom
[04:43] <meltingclock> howdy
[04:43] <Remo-Con> hey
[04:43] <onthefence928> ﻿jedimind: I payed too much for it to be stolen, no, I just got an old laptop that was filled with new parts by tiger direct
[04:43] <kittyhawk> that seems like a bad idea :)
[04:43] <Remo-Con> i did. lunchy needs help with his np script.
[04:43] <matthias_N> Starnestommy:  than yesterday i was listening to music and browsing the web and suddenly the music started to sound distorted, why is that ..., memory issue or ???
[04:43] <symptom> hey Neo_The_User
[04:43] <Remo-Con> and then i would vote just for example
[04:43] <Neo_The_User> kittyhawk you have to fix it
[04:43] <jedimind> wow neo is like a celebrity
[04:43] <Lachlan> stroyan: I thought the same thing, I removed the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package, and left the xserver-xorg-video-intel package on the system.
[04:43] <Neo_The_User> pawan hello

[04:44] <pawan> hi
[04:44] <kittyhawk> Neo_The_User: how?
[04:44] <Lachlan> stroyan: Still no luck though.
[04:44] <bring3> Remo-Con, oh so someone answered your question?
[04:44] <Neo_The_User> jedimind i like star wars
[04:44] <Remo-Con> 1.
[04:44] <Neo_The_User> kittyhawk use synaptic
[04:44] <bring3> !ot
[04:44] <amstell1> matthias_N : i know thats not a solution but 4 years was in 2004, thats a while back
[04:44] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: sounds like a sound driver problem or the player itself.
[04:44]  * jedimind waves his hand - this is not the kernel you're looking for
[04:44] <Neo_The_User> m_newton hello!

[04:50] <Neo_The_User> hello zesty
[04:50] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: if it's sleeping, it's not actively processing anything while the process manager is running
[04:50] <balzac> Neo_The_Bot, more like...
[04:50] <amstella> diefordethklok : have you checked your mixers and settings in sound

[04:52] <Neo_The_User> Hello Baron1984
[04:52] <Neo_The_User> hey hakie
[04:52] <Lokii-> i noticed wine working for applications it never used to
[04:52] <Starnestommy> matthias_N: only one program can run instructions in a processor at once, so the system monitor and that rpogmram will be shown as running at different times, although the kernel changes which process is in the cpu several times each second
[04:52] <Mohenjo> I'm looking for a way to capture packets on a switch (if it's even possible).  Anyone know if it can be done with tcpdump, wireshark, etc?
[04:52] <Neo_The_User> hello Lokii-
[04:52] <Remo-Con> banlis is big
[04:53] <Neo_The_User> hey banlis

[04:55] <bring3> onthefence928, there are a bunch of good guides on the subject, see if you can find one you like, here are two examples: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/05/08/dual-boot-laptop.html
[04:55] <m_newton> lastelement0: did it work
[04:55] <bring3> hakie, yes, or a dedicated spammer
[04:55] <m_newton> z
[04:55] <lastelement0> m_newton: i brought it up and it doesnt detect a device
[04:55] <stroyan> Lachlan:  I don't know why the intel driver is not showing up there.  You could set xorg to use it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   or by directly editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[04:55] <Remo-Con> if i die i want zero to have my movie hard drive
[04:55] <Remo-Con> lol
[04:55] <hakie> o haha

[04:56] <mohamed_> hello Remo-Con
[04:56] <sea_wolf> DVD playback, any takers?
[04:56] <Remo-Con> more more
[04:56] <bring3> bring3, that does not compute, bots can be neither happy nor upset :D
[04:56] <Remo-Con> you're not even speaking to anyone.
[04:56] <Lachlan> stroyan: I never get the option to get my graphics driver with that command.
[04:56] <nikke> diefordethklok: like everything i can open apps but it takes about 2-3 minutes then if i change window and go back it takes about 1-2 minutes to get "focused" on that window
[04:56] <Scooma> sea_wolf: what's up?
[04:56] <Remo-Con> .....?
[04:56] <matthias_N> Remo-Con: what problem do you have ?
[04:57] <lastelement0> m_newton: ok im there
[04:57] <diefordethklok> What's your cpu load look like
[04:57] <Remo-Con> heh that's ironic
[04:57] <nikke> hmm when im in kde i dont know really
[04:57] <Remo-Con> how so?
[04:57] <sea_wolf> scooma:  just can't get DVDs to play, no matter what program I run, no matter how many codecs I download..
[04:57] <stroyan> Lachlan:  Well, editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf certainly gives you that option. ;-)
[04:57] <nikke> im in a terminal now...
[04:57] <Remo-Con> what the fuck is a zerto jj
[04:57] <Remo-Con> back :d

[04:58] <diefordethklok> yes
[04:58] <nikke> diefordethklok: okey brb then
[04:59] <Scooma> sea_wolf: have you installed the restricted packages?
[04:59] <Lachlan> stroyan: I've been doing a lot of xorg.conf customization. I try putting: Driver "i810" in the "Device" section but then X won't boot.
[04:59] <sea_wolf> yes.
[04:59] <stroyan> Lachlan:  You want 'driver "intel"'.
[04:59] <Remo-Con> getting violent?
[05:00] <Condoulo> Is there, any reason, why, on ubuntu 64-bit, AFTER I install the ATI drivers, I have problems with refresh rate, whereas before hand, I don't

[05:05] <uriel_> ok...

[05:05] <jedimind> uriel_: you have to install compiz manager
[05:05] <uriel_> o
[05:05] <uriel_> um where can i get that
[05:05] <tpirela> this is my first time in this chat.. and i not acustumed to this.

[05:05] <tv7497> tpirela: you will learn fast really fast :)
[05:05] <Scooma> bounty_: you can use www.meebo.com as a quick fix
[05:06] <jedimind> if you have it  - its System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[05:06] <bring3> Jburrke, yep, look at the ubottu answer for !iso

[05:06] <Remo-Con> is hot
[05:06] <PastorBones> Are there any security concerns or bugs with the 2.6 kernel?
[05:06] <yao_ziyuan> is linux-generic a necessary package?
[05:06] <Jburrke> bring3: I did that, but the program kept asking for me to insert the disk.. It was like it was mounting only so I could access the info on the iso, but not as a virtual drive
[05:06] <tpirela> well...english is not my native language...
[05:07] <jedimind> tpirela: what is ?
[05:07] <Remo-Con> amstell1: this is weird... smb.conf shows no mention of my current share...
[05:07] <bounty_> Scooma: Thanks - That URL looks great! Thanks much
[05:07] <tv7497> tpirela: then ?????
[05:07] <uriel_> my menu doesnt have advanced
[05:07] <Scooma> sea_wolf: i see that vlc didn't work either hm?
[05:07] <tpirela> and i 'm a little out of practice..
[05:07] <Jburrke> bring3: Btw, how do I work this program.. Lol
[05:07] <bring3> Jburrke, hmm that is strange, never had any problems, you might want to post in forums and include more info about the iso
[05:07] <Scooma> sea_wolf: what's the type of dvd? and is it pata or sata?
[05:08] <tv7497> Myrtti: Grattis pŒ fšdelsedagen is this correct for happy birthday in Swedish  :)
[05:08] <tpirela> spanish is my native language...
[05:08] <sea_wolf> any dvd....not a one works.
[05:08] <bring3> Jburrke, have you tried the sudo mount method with other .iso files?
[05:08] <uriel_> ye tambien ablo espan~ol
[05:08] <Jburrke> No, just this one.. But it works fine
[05:08] <uriel_> yeah

[05:08] <uriel_> i installed it
[05:08] <Jburrke> Sorry.. bring3 No, just this one.. But it works fine
[05:08] <Scooma> sea_wolf: also, have you installed ffmpeg?
[05:08] <uriel_> but ut doesnt show up
[05:08] <Remo-Con> i just came from my ict lesson.
[05:08] <jedimind> uriel_: go to Applications > Add/Remove, select "all available applications" from the dropdown and type in "compiz" as your search term. the first option (or near the top) will be the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" , install it
[05:08] <tpirela> ah que bien...
[05:09] <tritium> tpirela: English, please
[05:09] <tpirela> well we can practice...
[05:09] <uriel_> k

[05:09] <tpirela> sorry...
[05:09] <uriel_> lol
[05:09] <bring3> Jburrke, Gmountiso shows up in System Tools, it's pretty straightforward :)
[05:09] <tpirela> that's was just an expression...
[05:09] <bring3> Jburrke, hmm i thought this one was not working properly?
[05:09] <lastelement0> m_newton: i just did the alt cd and that seems to be working
[05:09] <uriel_> i see one that sais "desktop effects"
[05:09] <uriel_> it doesnt say "advanced"
[05:09] <sea_wolf> not sure, how do I?
[05:09] <Remo-Con> acully 100
[05:10] <tpirela> i'm just moving to linux...i'm using ubuntu...
[05:10] <bullgard4> Update Manager this morning asks me: "What would you like to do about menu.list?" (Keep current version/Install version of the package maintainer/Show differences between versions/Show differences between versions side-by-side/Show 3-way-difference of available file versions/...) This is no upgrade but only an update. Why is Ubuntu to change my file menu.lst?
[05:10] <Jburrke> bring3: It's not the iso that's the problem.. I guess I'll start with the beginning..
[05:10] <Scooma> sea_wolf: I have these two URLs for you:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats   and    http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[05:10] <giloth> i have my monitor and tv hooked up to my computer. for some reason ubuntu keeps making my tv the primary display device when i enable "big desktop" under the catalyst control center. is there a way to switch it around?
[05:10] <tpirela> and i was just testing it..
[05:10] <Remo-Con> quanticle: might as well, sure, they're both infalsifiable, except that the universe-in-a-universe scenario is not only possible, but partially predicted by some branches ( aka string theory) of physics.
[05:10] <jedimind> uriel_: did you select 'alla vailable applications' first ?
[05:10] <Remo-Con> pearl
[05:10] <uriel_> yeah
[05:10]  * tv7497 wondering any person from Sweden here :)
[05:10] <jedimind> and you're running hardy? 8.04 ?
[05:11] <Jburrke> bring3: I installed a game with this iso.. it worked fine until I tried to run the game, where it then asked for the disk to be inserted.. Now I'm trying to figure out how to mount the iso in some kind of a virtual disk form
[05:11] <uriel_> ooo
[05:11] <uriel_> no
[05:11] <uriel_> ok
[05:11] <uriel_> i got it
[05:11] <uriel_> thnx
[05:11] <FloodBot3> uriel_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <Remo-Con> the good kind
[05:11] <bring3> Jburrke, ah ok, what's the game? probably you are running into their copy protection scheme :)
[05:11] <uriel_> ok
[05:11] <Jburrke> bring3: Probably.. It's gta vice city, running through wine
[05:11] <m_newton> lastelement0: hey
[05:11] <giloth> jburrke might try to get a gamefix from megagames.com - look for a nocd patch
[05:11] <lastelement0> m_newton: yo
[05:12] <m_newton> lastelement0: any luck?
[05:12] <Scooma> Q: windows dynamic disks in a raid0 config - how to mount? fdisk shows fs as SFS.
[05:12] <Jburrke> bring3: But on the readme it says that the game runs fine so long as you keep the disk in / keep the iso mounted
[05:12] <Remo-Con> i'm looking for a way to capture packets on a switch (if it's even possible). anyone know if it can be done with tcpdump, wireshark, etc?
[05:12] <m_newton> lastelement0: srry i was gone for a while, dinner
[05:12] <lastelement0> m_newton: i just d/l'd the alt install cd and that detected it. there may not be enough memory for it to run the reg install
[05:12] <Jburrke> bring3: Actually it's the same iso I used on windows, and the game ran perfectly if I kept the iso mounted with daemon - tools
[05:12] <Scooma> Remo-Con: you need to hook a cable into the management port of the switch and tell the switch to CC: all the traffic to the mgmt port
[05:13] <m_newton> lastelement0: ?? what do you mean reg install
[05:13] <Remo-Con> hello mohenjo
[05:13] <giloth> i have my monitor and tv hooked up to my computer. for some reason ubuntu keeps making my tv the primary display device when i enable "big desktop" under the catalyst control center. is there a way to switch it around?
[05:13] <Remo-Con> whatever
[05:13] <bring3> Jburrke, that is because daemon-tools has special emulation options designed to bypass the ISO copy protections :)
[05:13] <uriel_> jedimind: thank you
[05:13] <sea_wolf> scooma, trying to double check the install of somethings, like what was mention in the links you posted.......we'll see if it works.  :)
[05:13] <uriel_> great help
[05:13] <m_newton> lastelement0: hey u are just switching to linux rite
[05:13] <tpirela> uriel: where did you learn spanish?
[05:13] <Jburrke> bring3: Is there no way to do that on ubuntu?
[05:13] <Remo-Con> beaten
[05:13] <tritium> tpirela: stay on topic, please
[05:13] <m_newton> lastelement0: any particullar reason
[05:13] <uriel_> its my firts language
[05:13] <Scooma> sea_wolf: yeah - i asked if you'd installed the restricted stuff, i forgot there were restricted-extras too ;)
[05:13] <Remo-Con> yea
[05:13] <hyjinx> Hi everyone.  I just jumped back on the Ubuntu band wagon.  8.04 is impressive
[05:13] <lastelement0> m_newton: theres two diff install disks, the typical GUI one, and the alt text based one
[05:14] <lastelement0> m_newton: im doing it for a friend whos machine is tooo slow for xp
[05:14] <Remo-Con> sea_wolf: what's the type of dvd? and is it pata or sata?
[05:14] <dubby> hey anyone, I need a little help with java applets, I installed GCJ plugin for mozilla with synaptic and all java is just a white screen forever,
[05:14] <nickolaus> How do I run windows using Vbox on diff partition?
[05:14] <Remo-Con> doesn't charizard get fire punch?
[05:14] <uriel_> me tengo que ir
[05:14] <m_newton> lastelement0: ya i know, i see... wubi was not an option?
[05:14] <nickolaus> or drive
[05:14] <uriel_> adios
[05:14] <tpirela> tritium: wich one? i'm in my topic...
[05:14] <sea_wolf> well, no problems with running those.  Now, how should I go about opening a dvd to see if it works?
[05:14] <Remo-Con> nope
[05:14] <Remo-Con> pizza roll?
[05:14] <dubby> I have tried removing, purging, complete removal, everything to fix it and then reinstall multiple times but to no avail
[05:14] <cylux> Heya, what is the latest kernel version that is used with ubuntu? (Just generally)
[05:14] <tpirela> is there any specific topic?
[05:14] <Remo-Con> it's an
[05:14] <Remo-Con> the plot makes
[05:14] <tv7497> uriel_: may be the discussion about languages can be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:15] <Remo-Con> or at least a big bang
[05:15] <lastelement0> m_newton: i dont think wubi would have run well. i think they may only have 256 mb
[05:15] <bullgard4> Update Manager this morning asks me: "What would you like to do about menu.list?" (Keep current version/Install version of the package maintainer/Show differences between versions/Show differences between versions side-by-side/Show 3-way-difference of available file versions/...) This is no upgrade but only an update. Why is Ubuntu to change my file menu.lst?
[05:15] <Remo-Con> ohhhh
[05:15] <Remo-Con> omg
[05:15] <Remo-Con> he shouldnt get drafted
[05:15] <Scooma> giloth: have you used the ATICONFIG command? (lower case)
[05:15] <dubby> I want the the original java from sun java instead because this thing is giving me problems
[05:15] <dubby> and bullgard4 you just updated your linux image
[05:16] <Jburrke> bring3: Will this work? http://megagames.com/cgi/download/download.cgi?action=search&category=cracks&search=GRAND.THEFT.AUTO.VICE.CITY.V1.0.ENG.GIMPSRUS.NOCD.ZIP
[05:16] <hyjinx> I have 2 questions, 1) does anyone know how to get a lay-over console like Mac OSX?  2)  Does anyone know how to get a GfxMenu to work in Grub?  I've tried KGRUBEditor but I'm not even sure I have the right GFX Menu files.  Google searches aren't returning anything useful.
[05:16] <dubby> it is asking you to keep the normal grub config or the new one
[05:16] <m_newton> lastelement0: wow! imagine trying to install vista lol. Otherwise, does he/she have a fast usb drive?, computer having firewire of usb2.0?
[05:16] <Remo-Con> bacon?
[05:16] <apegod> hi
[05:16] <apegod> i got a strange error
[05:16] <Scooma> hyjinx: have you checked for an answer in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[05:16] <m_newton> apegod: whats up?
[05:16] <Remo-Con> m_newton: ok im there
[05:16] <apegod> tput: unknow terminal cygwin
[05:16] <giloth> i have my monitor and tv hooked up to my computer. for some reason ubuntu keeps making my tv the primary display device when i enable "big desktop" under the catalyst control center. is there a way to switch it around?
[05:16] <bullgard4> dubby: What do you mean by "my linux image"?
[05:16] <Remo-Con> [16:08:44] <%arikado> i know your real gender <- do you?
[05:16] <Remo-Con> i sometimes feel pulled all ways
[05:16] <tritium> tpirela: ubuntu support, of course
[05:17] <Remo-Con> 100 mb is the limit on rapidshare
[05:17] <zmjjmz> Ok, so when I log into Gnome or start anything Gnome
[05:17] <Scooma> giloth: have you used the aticonfig  command?
[05:17] <zmjjmz> my keyboard stops working
[05:17] <zmjjmz> does anyone know how to fix that/
[05:17] <Remo-Con> because 'it's good in theory'
[05:17] <apegod> if i ssh from a winblown machine to a linux machine i got that unknow terminal error stuff
[05:17] <hyjinx> No Scooma, I'll look there first.  Thanks
[05:17] <Scooma> zmjjmz: what keyboard?
[05:17] <dubby> linux runs by mounting the linux kernal, you just got the newest version of the kernal and its asking if you want grub config to be able to boot to it or the new one
[05:17] <zmjjmz> Macbook
[05:17] <lastelement0> m_newton: has usb 2.0
[05:17] <Remo-Con> there don't you feel a wee bit better love
[05:17] <Remo-Con> with 1.82tb of stuff
[05:17] <dubby> the linux-image is the kernal image that is loaded on boot-up
[05:17] <giloth> Scooma: i've messed around with it a bit yes but couldn't find the correct option :(
[05:17] <tpirela> tritium: anything in life is suposted...life is always in change...
[05:17] <tritium> Jburrke: don't patse URLs for cracks here.
[05:17] <dubby> ever heard of mounting an image...
[05:18] <nickolaus> I am trying to run xp in vbox over Feisty but I want run it on another drive. Is that possible and if so how?
[05:18] <Jburrke> tritium: Sorry
[05:18] <tritium> tpirela: stay on topic
[05:18] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to get nautilus to relog into an SFTP address if it gets booted rather than just redirecting to the home folder? I think it used to be like this
[05:18] <KRaZy_WaKa> how do i update firfox 3 beta 5 to latest version?
[05:18] <bullgard4> dubby: Ok, thank you for explaining.
[05:18] <Remo-Con> *but
[05:18] <bring3> Jburrke, you might be interested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631185 , what you need is Wine to properly support SecuROM v4 with mounted ISOs
[05:18] <Remo-Con> good

[05:18] <TwiztidMind> where is a good place to find a driver for my video card i have a Diamond Viper Nvidia
[05:18] <Remo-Con> sppguest7463
[05:18] <m_newton> lastelement0: then you can install of Usb, advantages, you can if you want run os out of usb, fast and a 4 gig usb = good
[05:18] <apegod> a diamond viper
[05:18] <apegod> hahaha
[05:18] <TwiztidMind> it's an old card it's AGP 16mb
[05:18] <apegod> thats like 1999
[05:18] <nickolaus> Does anyone know anything about virtual box?
[05:18] <TwiztidMind> hey the computer was free

[05:19] <apegod> i got a tseng et4000
[05:19] <tpirela> i've been consonous with my topic..but thats ok...see you...
[05:19] <Scooma> giloth: it's where all the settings should be. try googling more on that for setting your monitors. it could be you need to add/edit something in /etc/init.d
[05:19] <m_newton> JUST checking xampp = lamp right????
[05:19] <Remo-Con> two fails make an epic? that's useful info
[05:19] <miickee> Hey guys, you reckon geforce 8600GT 256MB ddr3 is compatible/works well in linux in regards to gaming?
[05:19] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, FF3b5 is the lasted version on the official repositories, if you really want to get a newer version check out this guide: http://blog.rosanegra.org/2008/05/20/how-to-install-firefox-3-rc1-on-ubuntu-hardy
[05:19] <Scooma> giloth: to set the settings on every startup if you cannot put it into a .conf file
[05:19] <Remo-Con> sppguest7463
[05:20] <TwiztidMind> apegod where could i find that driver
[05:20] <zmjjmz> Scooma: Any knowledge on Macbook keyboards suddenly not working in GNOME?
[05:20] <bring3> m_newton, xamp is lamp on windows
[05:20] <Remo-Con> cos clamps come off
[05:20] <apegod> or orchid prodesigner
[05:20] <astro76> !ot | Remo-Con
[05:20] <nickolaus> I need a little help with virtual box on feisty.
[05:20] <Remo-Con> they're here just... not here
[05:20] <xen_> Hi there, im having trouble *completely* uninstalling software, ive made a post in the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5110342&postcount=1 could someone please take a look? thanks
[05:21] <bring3> miickee, it should be, i have an older geforce that works nicely using propriertary nvidia drivers on ubuntu 8.04
[05:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: thanx i went to firefox site and source code is a little foreign to me yet lol
[05:21] <Remo-Con> cool
[05:21] <astro76> Remo-Con: if you're not a bot I suggest you keep it on topic
[05:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> anybody know when the release candidates will hit the repos?
[05:21] <miickee> bring3: Really? Well, I'm using 7.10 and running even need for speed most wanted is really bad.
[05:21] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, hehe yeah you don't want to bother with all that when there is Synaptic do manage packages so nicely :)
[05:21] <astro76> KRaZy_WaKa: it's in proposed but I hear there are some issues
[05:21] <Remo-Con> never
[05:21] <Scooma> zmjjmz: it just stops working? after how long? does it happen after you remove a device (usb/etc)?
[05:21] <nickolaus> I am trying to run xp in vbox over Feisty but I want run it on another drive. Is that possible and if so how?
[05:21] <Remo-Con> its going to be a sidescrolling platformer
[05:22] <astro76> !ops | Remo-Con is a bot
[05:22] <bring3> miickee, do you know what driver you are using?
[05:22] <zmjjmz> Scooma: It stopped eworking in the middle of a session, then it stopped working since
[05:22] <KRaZy_WaKa> astro76: thanx that'd be why it doesnt show up for me lol
[05:22] <zmjjmz> upon loading the gnome-settings-daemon from another WM
[05:22] <zmjjmz> I get a bunch of things about unrecognized keycodes
[05:22] <rledge21> I'm getting the message "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" when trying to play movie files, I think one of my installs went wrong somewhere; how can I remove and re-install?
[05:22] <Scooma> zmjjmz: so it doesn't work after a restart of the system?
[05:22] <sea_wolf> SCOOMA:  didn't make a difference, not in the slightest.
[05:22] <miickee> bring3 - 100.14.19
[05:22] <zmjjmz> not in GNOME
[05:22] <xocite> xen_: probably because your *shrc hasn't been sourced.  log out and log back in (through the terminal) and issue those commands again
[05:23] <Scooma> sea_wolf: ah sorry to hear it. um... there are several other items in    https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu    you might want to query for  dvd play  in that
[05:23] <xen_> xocite ok, sorry by log out of the terminal you just mean close the terminal and then open it again? or actually log out completely?
[05:23] <bring3> miickee, hmm im not sure what that means, i guess it is important to use the Nvidia proprietary drivers, you might want to try installing Envy
[05:23] <bring3> !envy
[05:23] <zmjjmz> it works in every other WM, so long as I don't load GNOME anything
[05:23] <zmjjmz> or anything that loads gnome-settings
[05:24] <nickolaus> anyone know anything about virtual box?
[05:24] <xocite> xen_: the first
[05:24] <Scooma> for envyNG if you have 8.04 hardy heron, you can install it via the "add/remove programs" from your menu
[05:24] <m_newton> Zoem: what was the email things again??
[05:24] <xen_> xocite didnt work, still shows apache2 as when i first installed it
[05:24] <xocite> xen_: remember, the locate database isn't updated instantly
[05:24] <Scooma> zmjjmz: wow, wierd
[05:25] <xocite> xen_: well, have you tried running the given paths?
[05:25] <zmjjmz> supposedly it's happened before
[05:25] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: the link you gave me will just get me firefox right? i dont want the whole proposed repo or anything showing up just the latest firefox
[05:25] <xen_> sorry given paths?
[05:25] <zmjjmz> lemme give you the nature of the error message...
[05:25] <xocite> xen_: try /usr/share/apache2 or man apache2 and see what happens
[05:25] <onthefence928> ummm help! I clicked the power button on the gnome toolbar, and both taskbars dissapeared
[05:25] <zmjjmz> Warning: No symbols defined for <***> (keycode ***)
[05:26] <zmjjmz> where *** is whatever keycode
[05:26] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, yep exactly, just FF3 and a couple other packages it depends on
[05:26] <xen_> xocite yeah man apache2 and sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start stil works... i done sudo apt-get remove apache2 and apparently that uninstalled it,
[05:26] <m_newton> Zoem: you there??
[05:26] <zmjjmz> then I can't type
[05:26] <kittyhawk> hello
[05:26] <xen_> but its still here
[05:26] <xen_> so wtf lol
[05:26] <zmjjmz> even if I kill gnome-settings daemon by closing the term
[05:26] <bring3> onthefence928, have you fixed the hard disk space issue? that can be causing serious problems
[05:26] <zmjjmz> only by logging out
[05:26] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: dependencies are necessary or they wouldnt be dependencies :)
[05:26] <Scooma> zmjjmz: what's your keyboard set to?
[05:26] <kittyhawk> what configuration do folks recommend for flash?
[05:26] <KRaZy_WaKa> thanx again
[05:26] <zmjjmz> well
[05:27] <xocite> xen_: the only thing i can say is install the package again and then remove it and restart
[05:27] <zmjjmz> I kinda can't access that
[05:27] <tritium> xen_: please, no foul acronyms
[05:27] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, FACT! :D
[05:27] <onthefence928> bring3: no I haven' yet, I guess I should just uninstall WUBI
[05:27] <xen_> sudo apt-get remove apache2
[05:27] <xen_> Reading package lists... Done
[05:27] <xen_> Building dependency tree
[05:27] <xen_> Reading state information... Done
[05:27] <xen_> Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed
[05:27] <xen_> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded.
[05:27] <FloodBot3> xen_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <Scooma> zmjjmz: do you do a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ?
[05:27] <zmjjmz> what's the command for the keyboard manager in GNOME?
[05:27] <Zoem> m_newton, postfix or exim4
[05:27] <xocite> xen_: woah, pastebin ftw man
[05:27] <bring3> sure no prob, dunno when the newer FF3 versions will reach main repos
[05:27] <zmjjmz> I've restarted the whole system, didn't help
[05:27] <xocite> !pastebin | xen_
[05:27] <xocite> bring3: probably as soon as firefox3 is released
[05:28] <xen_> sorry ill paste it all in paste bin
[05:28] <xen_> this is weird though..
[05:28] <Scooma> zmjjmz: right click on the upper panel - "add to panel" - "utilities" and you choose keyboard indicator
[05:28] <xocite> xen_: i would wait for a resposne in the forum (update your post with your new knowledge though)
[05:28] <bring3> xocite, hope so, interestingly the version of FF3 now installed off that other repo reports itself as FF3 :D
[05:28] <tritium> astro76: thanks, by the way
[05:28] <zmjjmz> I don't have a right click
[05:29] <zmjjmz> Macbook
[05:29] <zmjjmz> and I can;t find my external mouse
[05:29] <zmjjmz> I'll try it from a gnome session
[05:29] <iuri> hi there, where is the damn network manager applet?
[05:29] <astro76> tritium: any time ;)
[05:29] <zmjjmz> just the keyboard settings
[05:29] <zmjjmz> dunno what happened last time
[05:29] <tritium> zmjjmz: there is a key-combo for a right-click.  I believe it's F12-click, but I can't recall.
[05:29] <bring3> onthefence928, try emptying your trash?
[05:29] <Scooma> zmjjmz: heh
[05:29] <zmjjmz> hasn't worked since Gutsy
[05:29] <zmjjmz> and
[05:29] <Scooma> zmjjmz: System -> preferences -> keyboard
[05:29] <xocite> bring3: the release candidate is actually pretty stable
[05:29] <zmjjmz> if the keyboard isn't working
[05:29] <angga_gokil22> fuck off all
[05:30] <xen_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16757/
[05:30] <zmjjmz> I know, I think I tried it before

[05:31] <Ke-Mind> okey.. sory sory
[05:31] <Scooma> zmjjmz: um... have a second keyboard entry in there and switch to a different keyboard such as 109? maybe?
[05:31] <bring3> xocite, yeah im really dependent on FF3's speed improvements, so having decent stability makes my life alot easier :D
[05:32] <zmjjmz> the thing is, that it's been like that for a while
[05:32] <Ke-Mind> i'm javanese

[05:35] <Furom> astro76, I'm quite amazed, I've done downloaded 2 gigs worth of data in less than 2 hours. Windows used to take 5 hours on that. I'm trying to get confirmation on it for a blog article that I want to write.

[05:37] <PentarexBG> 10nx
[05:37] <nickrud> xen_ do dpkg '*apache*' | grep ^ii , that will show all the installed apache packages. You will need to remove apache2.2-common and the mpm version you are using to get rid of the rest of apache. apache2 package is a metapackage, it's like a list of packages to install
[05:37] <PentarexBG> ok i will reg right

[05:37] <Bllz> Condoulo:  google it and follow the on-site instructions for installing it.  It automatically detects your video hardware and downloads the appropriate driver
[05:37] <bring3> ok cool, i think you will find the people on the forum really helpful :)
[05:37] <Bllz> Condoulo:  it's just about the coolest thing ever

[05:38] <xen_> nickrud sorry mate, but i got this: dpkg: need an action option
[05:38] <bring3> archman, just to check, you do not have hardware switch set to read-only right?
[05:38] <Bllz>  i need to back up a vista client on my network and I'd like to save full disk images to an SMB share that exists on my ubuntu server, is this possible through software running on the server?
[05:38] <archman> bring3: no
[05:38] <zmjjmz> I'll be asking my question in #gnome, since that's where the problem lies
[05:38] <m_newton> What do i do to add a page to my web server if it is using LAMP

[05:38] <bring3> m_newton, the default directory is /var/www
[05:39] <xen_> nickrud cool, so i just remove those packages that show up?

[05:39] <Ke-Mind> ala tai
[05:39] <astro76> Bllz: I don't see why you couldn't enable sharing on Vista do that
[05:39] <nickrud> xen_ dpkg -l lists all packages that match *apache* , and the grep ^ii finds all that are installed (that's what the ii means)

[05:45] <PEZ> Anyone have any idea why Firefox 3 is showing smallpages and huge text and what not, alot of pages I look at are distorted in one way or another. I just installed unbuntu by the way
[05:45] <Kohlrak> Anyone know of any sideways fonts, a way to type sideways in open office, or why trying to write vertically in open office using a language like japanese ends up in invisible letters?
[05:45] <Kohlrak> PEZ, try control scrollbar
[05:45] <Kohlrak> i mean, control and mouse wheel
[05:45] <nickrud> PEZ it do believe you're seeing the effects of nosquint, check under view->zoom
[05:47] <Bllz> has anybody ever used baracula to back up a client onto an ubuntu machine?
[05:48] <PEZ> any idea why some text is extremely huge? I never had this problem using Firefox 2 on windows
[05:48] <m_newton1> Xampp help PLZ!!!!!
[05:48] <m_newton1> Lampp help PLZ!!!!!
[05:49] <Fishscene> !patience
[05:49] <bring3> PEZ, View -> Zoom -> Reset
[05:49] <bring3> m_newton1, this is not a place for Xamp discussion, what Lamp question do you have?
[05:49] <m_newton1> How do i make a web page using lamp??
[05:50] <Bllz> RTFM
[05:50] <tritium> Bllz: none of that, please
[05:50] <astro76> Bllz: you might want to try asking in #windows, since you are talking backing up windows clients to a samba server which looks just like a windows server, this is purely a windows question
[05:50] <nickrud> !rtfm | Bllz
[05:50] <Bllz> kidding.  forgot the smiley face
[05:50] <Bllz> sorry ;-)
[05:51] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> create fimple html file then you can see it :)
[05:51] <PEZ> i found that if i go to view then style the no style i can see everything but looks white and ugly. I would rather just use Firefox 2 how do i uninstall fire fox 3 and use 2 instead, or is there a better browser for linux?
[05:52] <astro76> PEZ: you can install firefox 2 without uninstalling 3
[05:52] <astro76> PEZ: just install firefox-2
[05:52] <spikemcc> hi someone here ?
[05:52] <m_newton1> Starnestommy, How do i make a webpage using lamp, or rather where do i put the html file? before it was var/www/ now it is not?
[05:52] <PEZ> i have firfox 2 in my app tab but when i run it, it opens a firefox 3 window
[05:52] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> put your html file in /var/www
[05:53] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> this is the default for apache
[05:53] <astro76> PEZ: it should install a separate icon which launches 2
[05:53] <bring3> m_newton1, save the file as /var/www/test.html then go to http://localhost/test.html in your browser
[05:53] <m_newton1> mohamed_, hot for LAMP... i got it from source forge
[05:54] <bring3> m_newton1, what version of Ubuntu are you running? also, can you post the sourceforge link you used?
[05:54] <PEZ> yes i have 2 diff icons one say firefox the other says firefox 2 if i click either one they both open a firefox 3 beta 5 window
[05:54] <meoblast001> hello
[05:55] <meoblast001> i need some help turning my PowerPC super compupter into a linux powerhouse
[05:55] <meoblast001> i have it hooked up with PowerPC Ubuntu
[05:55] <meoblast001> it runs through my TV as a monitor
[05:55] <m_newton1> bring3, hardy, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html and http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61776&package_id=60248
[05:55] <gbs> ve
[05:55] <meoblast001> so the screen resolution is crappy
[05:55] <meoblast001> can anyone help me change the screen resulotion?
[05:56] <niner64> Q: in ubuntu 8.04 with kernel .24-17 and 24-18 system monitor gives error connection to localhost has been lost (standard 64 bit install
[05:56] <Kohlrak> anyone knkow of any sideways fonds
[05:56] <Tixer> what's the command to print the current permissions of a file?
[05:56] <astro76> meoblast001: you really can't increase the resolution on a non-hdtv and be able to read text, old style tvs have very poor resolution on the order of 640x480
[05:57] <meoblast001> astro76: i just need everything to be a little smaller so the resultotion is bigger
[05:57] <astro76> Tixer: ls -l file
[05:57] <meoblast001> and there is a big black border around the edges
[05:57] <yoshokatana> hey, noob question: I installed gimpshop. Where does it run from?
[05:57] <bring3> m_newton1, hrm you probably do not want to be using either of those, unless you know they are needed for some reason
[05:57] <yoshokatana> it's not under apps > graphics
[05:58] <bring3> m_newton1, it is much better to install whatever programs you need (like Apache2 or MySQL server) using Applications -> Add/Remove
[05:58] <yoshokatana> do I need to configure gimp?
[05:58] <meoblast001> astro76: not even synaptic at its normal size fits on the screen
[05:58] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> what exist in this version not exist in LAMP ?
[05:59] <nickrud> yoshokatana no, it will self configure when you run it the first time as each user
[05:59] <yoshokatana> nickrud: yes, but where do I run it from? what's the command?
[05:59] <nickrud> yoshokatana oh, gimpshop. I didn't read back far enough. You'll probably have to run   gimpshop   in a terminal
[05:59] <astro76> bring3: or Synaptic rather, since add/remove only has GUI applications ;)
[06:00]  * nickrud nitpicks java in add remove ;p
[06:00] <bring3> astro76, oh really? i though that would include apache and stuff
[06:00] <astro76> meoblast001: there's not much you can do, NTSC signal has 480 lines of resolution
[06:00] <tofaffy|lappy> I just installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I started up pidgin and put in my yahoo account information and then it says it connected, but none of my online buddies show up. I know there are people online btw because I have yahoo IM on the XP computer.
[06:00] <meltingclock> out of curiosity, does anyone know if the open source conexant drivers were ever ported to ubuntu hardy?
[06:00] <bring3> m_newton1, install apache2 and mysql using System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[06:01] <niner64> nobody else has apps/system tolols/system monitor fail to connect to localhost on 64bit gnome install?
[06:01] <m_newton1> mohamed_, i dont know, i think it is lamp
[06:01] <meoblast001> astro76: im thinking about getting an HD 720p tv for christmas or whenever i can get 500 bucks so i guess i can live with this a bit
[06:01] <m_newton1> mohamed_, i tried looking for lamp in repositories for no avail
[06:01] <filloy> I need help with a partition. I rebooted and now gparted tells me that the partition is now unallocated. What should I do?
[06:01] <meoblast001> now... what VM's can i get for PowerPC that can go full screen?
[06:01] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> it exist in ubuntu repository
[06:01] <bring3> m_newton1,  "LAMP" stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, install each one separately (they are pretty quick to install)
[06:02] <meoblast001> and will a PowerPC take away large amounts of power from my 7-core processor?
[06:02] <Kohlrak> Anyone have a sideways font?
[06:02] <meoblast001> i mean
[06:02] <meoblast001> a VM
[06:02] <tmapj> where can i go to just chat
[06:02] <nickrud> m_newton1  sudo tasksel install lamp-server , if I recall correctly
[06:02] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> only is separate you need to install apache, mysql,php ...etc
[06:02] <filloy> anyone with the lost partition?
[06:03] <m_newton1> bring3 so LAMP is not a file but an accronim
[06:03] <astro76> meoblast001: I wouldn't worry about processing "power", the most important thing with VMs is having enough RAM
[06:03] <RawSushi> question...are there any settings for the nvidia driver where I could adjust the brightness, contrast, etc?
[06:03] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> LAMP ( Linux Apache Mysql Php )
[06:04] <nickrud> perl/php/python these days even
[06:04] <bring3> m_newton1, yes exactly, it just refers to those 4 software products, Linux is the Operating System of course, Apache is the webserver, MySQL is for databases, and PHP is a programming language. They each work fine separately, but also work really well together :)
[06:04] <meoblast001> astro76: it only has 256 ram sadly..... its all the manufacturer could afford, so i swapped alot
[06:04] <m_newton1> mohamed_, Does this also setup the mail server
[06:04] <bring3> true nickrud
[06:04] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> mail server is separate
[06:05] <tofaffy|lappy> I just installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I started up pidgin and put in my yahoo account information and then it says it connected, but none of my online buddies show up. I know there are people online btw because I have yahoo IM on the XP computer.
 i have ubuntu --- linux do i need to search fro and install linux??
[06:05] <astro76> meoblast001: think how much you'll swap when you dedicate half of that 256 MB to a VM :O
[06:05] <KRaZy_WaKa> ok added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main to my sources.list and clicked the update manager icon and got an error
[06:05] <bring3> m_newton1, nope you are all set for that part :) just make sure apache and mysql and php are installed :)
[06:05] <astro76> m_newton1: Ubuntu is linux :)
[06:06] <KRaZy_WaKa> how do i pastebin? lol
[06:06] <astro76> !paste | KRaZy_WaKa
[06:07] <m_newton1> bring3 great, now about the mail server thing...
[06:07] <lastelement1> how can i access a channel on a different server
[06:07] <m_newton1> bring3 can i use no-ip?
[06:07] <meoblast001> astro76: this super computer is a PS3, do you know of anyways to remove the black borders on the edges
[06:07] <meoblast001> they are huge and compromize resolution
[06:07] <KRaZy_WaKa> astro: thanx but nevermind as an added bonus to the error i cant highlight copy and paste it
[06:08] <m_newton1> bring3 can i use no-ip for mail so something@(my no ip website)
[06:08] <Bllz> when i go to check the boxes for a directory's permissions, the first click on a blank box is a dash (-) ... clicking it again is yields a check.  What's the difference?
[06:08] <meoblast001> it may be hard because the PS3 does not provide access to the RSX GPU to other OS's
[06:08] <astro76> KRaZy_WaKa: where's the error?
[06:08] <joanki2> my build-essentials somehow got deleted and when i try to delete it i get an error saying i am missing dependencies, libc6-dev
[06:08] <joanki2> when i try to install that, i get : The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[06:08] <joanki2>   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-10 is to be installed
[06:08] <joanki2> E: Broken packages
[06:08] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:08] <joanki2> can anyone help me fix it?
[06:08] <bring3> m_newton1, there are a few mail servers to choose from, i don't have experience so i can't recommend one, but you can try "dovecot" or "xmail" just search for them in System -> Admin -> Synaptic
[06:08] <mohamed_> m_newton1-> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[06:09] <homeslice> Did I hear right that Ubuntu Remix will not be available for download?
[06:09] <bring3> m_newton1, probably but i have never used no-ip myself :)
[06:09] <KRaZy_WaKa> NOT ALL UPDATES CAN BE INSTALLED  Run a Partial Upgrade, to install as many updates as possible...
[06:09] <KRaZy_WaKa> then it gives a liost of possible reasons for the error
[06:09] <Darknezz> im having a problem syncing my phone with ubuntu. its windows mobile cingular 8125 (htc wizard) if anyone knows any good programs that i can sync it or detect it and add things onto my memory of the phone
[06:09] <joanki2> ugh if no one can help me with that, can i safely install gutsy again without overwriting my home drive?
 what was the error
[06:10] <joanki2> and if so, can someone tell me how to do it?
[06:10] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:10] <KRaZy_WaKa> m_newton1: just typed it up, got it when i clicked the update manager icon
[06:10] <astro76> joanki2: did you change your repos to hardy or something? libc6 2.7-10 is from hardy
[06:11] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:11] <joanki2> astro76, no, i installed anki
[06:11] <joanki2> i'm fairly certain that's what did it
[06:11] <m_newton1> KRaZy_WaKa, try restarting
[06:11] <joanki2> how do i fix it, astro76 ?
[06:11] <trelayne> hi all, anyone know what the 127.0.1.1 is for in /etc/hosts?
[06:11] <astro76> joanki2: no idea what anki is except that it's not in standard repos ;)
[06:11] <KRaZy_WaKa> and if not that?
[06:11] <Fishscene> trelayne, that' syour loopback address
[06:11] <joanki2> astro76, it's a flashcard program
[06:11] <joanki2> but it was a b**** to install
[06:11] <niner64> can anybody running ubuntu 64 bit gnome version verify that system monitor connects to localhost so i know it's my end plz thanks in advance
[06:12] <joanki2> any ideas how to fix, astro76 ?
[06:12] <Fishscene> trelayne, nvm. I misread it. I dunno what that is
[06:12] <KRaZy_WaKa> maybe i need to remove firefox 3 beta 5, then re-install?
[06:12] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
 then, i will need to see the error u get, are u running a proxy server?
[06:13] <KRaZy_WaKa> nope fresh install only have firestarter as far as network stuff
[06:13] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, go ahead and do the partial i think
[06:13] <trelayne> Fishscene,  I think it could be used to set up subdomains on a local host only setup with apache
[06:13] <Fishscene> possibly
[06:13] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, did you add that other repository? if so that is what i had to do, and it worked ok.
[06:13] <Darknezz> anyone know any good sync programs that i can sync my phone with windows mobile on it?
[06:13] <meoblast001> can anyone help me remove these huge black borders from the sides of my screen when running Ubuntu on my PS3?
 ok do the partial update or go into terminal and
[06:14] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:14] <trelayne> does anyone have a good pointer on how to setup non-internet, local domains/subdomains on ubuntu for use with apache virtual hosts?
[06:14] <bring3> m_newton1, sendmail is another option, there is an in-depth guide at http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch21_:_Configuring_Linux_Mail_Servers
 sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:14] <KRaZy_WaKa> yeah i added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main
[06:14] <m_newton1> bring3 thanks a lot man
[06:14] <KRaZy_WaKa> yeah after i added the repo it auto-reloaded the repos and it gave me the error
[06:15] <KRaZy_WaKa> then i sudo apt-get updated and still the same thing
[06:15] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, yeah just approve the partial update, i think that is because the repo only has a small subset of updated packages
[06:15] <RawSushi> I wonder when linux is going to have better support for webcams
[06:15] <m_newton1> what error? did you add a key with the repo, what repo exactlty medibunut
[06:15] <bring3> m_newton1, sure thing hope that helps :)
[06:15] <Ashfire908> I need help, I'm getting Kernel panics, "not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt".
[06:15] <troxor> trelayne: the loopback entry in /etc/hosts is quite important ;)
[06:16] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, make sure to follow the guide on that page, and i think just say ok if there is a warning
[06:16] <xipietotec> I've recently had trouble with gutsy and the nvidia driver. It was formerly that I could not get the -rt kernel to load at all, but generic worked fine. Now since removing extra kernels, and reinstalling generic and -rt, rt will load, but will not recognize nvidia drivers at all, and generic will, but will not recognize my monitor settings, I have to manually set it to a 1680x1050 monitor, of which it will only give me 1400x1050
[06:16] <xipietotec> resolution.
[06:16] <Darknezz> anyone know any good sync programs that i can sync my phone with windows mobile on it?
[06:16] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:16] <xipietotec> and somehow sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg no longer gives me  the ability to reconfigure drivers? Wtf
[06:16] <m_newton1> bring3 the page has an error! check it out again
[06:17] <Bllz> what's the difference between a dash and a check in a checkbox?
[06:17] <meoblast001> my nvidia (i think its nvidia) wont let me go over 480xsomething
[06:17] <Darknezz> im having a problem syncing my phone with ubuntu. its windows mobile cingular 8125 (htc wizard) if anyone knows any good programs that i can sync it or detect it and add things onto my memory of the phone
[06:17] <bring3> Darknezz, maybe try "conduit" or "bitpim" i have not tried either of these myself
[06:17] <bring3> m_newton1, which page?
[06:18] <meoblast001> wait
[06:18] <m_newton1> bring3 sorry my bad
[06:18] <meoblast001> it pretends to be 576x384
[06:18] <troxor> Bllz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439861 <-- ?
[06:18] <Darknezz> bring3: thanks i will try it out
[06:18] <bring3> m_newton1, hehe np
[06:18] <shubuntu> hi help anyone with paths?
[06:19] <Fishscene> paths?
[06:19] <bring3> Darknezz, there are some more you might try, i just did a search in Synaptic Package Manager for "phone" in the name and description
[06:19] <luderacer> pants?
[06:19] <shubuntu> I have eclipse installed but don't want my javac path to be the eclipse javac
[06:19] <KRaZy_WaKa> m_newton1: added ﻿deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main , then clicked on the update icon,  ok maybe try sudop apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal instead of clicking update icon
[06:19] <shubuntu> i've installed sun-java6-jdk and jre
[06:19] <Darknezz> bring3: so just search phone?
[06:19] <orkid_> hi, i justed installed the minimal cli on a laptop, but somehow my boot stuff ended up on sda (usb key), wheras the root is sdb1 (reiserfs on hd)... now i can't boot w/o the usb key
[06:19] <Bllz> troxor:  thanks, but meant the tick/check in the file permissions of a folder
[06:19] <Bllz> troxor:  any idea?
[06:19] <trelayne> ok found what I was looking for : http://hasin.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/setting-up-virtual-host-with-mod-rewrite-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/
[06:19] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, just make sure to do sudo apt-get update before sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:20] <shubuntu> but still when i type javac-version it gives me the eclipse version
[06:20] <meoblast001> my system is running a framebuffer, would it be safe to switch it to vesa or nv?
[06:20] <meoblast001> wheres vesa
[06:20] <shubuntu> help anyone?
[06:20] <meoblast001> well anyways
[06:20] <troxor> Bllz: not sure, really.. I've wondered that too- what are the octal permissions that correspond to the same file?
[06:20] <meoblast001> nv?
[06:20] <bring3> Darknezz, that is one place to start, read through some of the descriptions and give some a try, sorry i don't have experience with any of them
[06:21] <orkid_> anyone? reiserfs root? anyone ?
[06:21] <Darknezz> bring3: he problem is i tried a hand full and they dident work :S
[06:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: yeah i did sudo apt-get update and then clicked the update icon got the "partial upgrade" error message so all i have to do now is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:21] <orkid_> can't boot ?
[06:21] <Bllz> troxor:  not sure what octal permissions are
[06:21] <m_newton1> see you sleeping
[06:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> could sudo apt-get update again for the heck of it though lol
[06:21] <shubuntu> :(
[06:21] <bring3> shubuntu, i forget the variable i think you want to change java_home or java_path
[06:21] <shubuntu> where do i change this
[06:22] <troxor> Bllz: oops, sorry- it says "Text view:" and then something like -rw-r--r--
[06:22] <bring3> Darknezz, oh sorry to hear that, which ones did you try? have you tested conduit to see if that works?
[06:22] <Bllz> troxor:  mine say drwxrwxr-x
[06:22] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, run those commands in the terminal, when you get that warning just say y :)
[06:22] <Bllz> sigh... ubuntu... you make no sense sometimes...
[06:22] <troxor> shubuntu: you're gonna do something like update-alternatives, I believe
[06:23] <troxor> Bllz: perhaps the dash means that files underneath that directory have different permissions
[06:23] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3:  already on it, thanx again
[06:23] <troxor> Bllz: namely, differing in the bit that's a dash ;)
[06:23] <bring3> shubuntu, i think you want to do like export java_home /blah/blah/java so try doing a quick google search for linux java_home or java_path
[06:23] <Bllz> troxor:  that would actually make sense... okay! thanks!  I'm surprised I didn't surmize that from the link you sent me... oh my... it's late lol
[06:23] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3:  not used to seeing error messages in ubuntu lol, got a little freaked out there
[06:23] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, woohoo cool, it worked fine for me so hopefully you will not run into any problems :)
[06:23] <troxor> Bllz: no problem :)
[06:24] <Bllz> troxor:  now if i set permissions to read, that means someone can copy the file to their own directory right?
[06:24] <troxor> Bllz: right,
[06:24] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, hehe yeah, welcome to the cutting edge of repo software updates :)
[06:24] <Bllz> troxor:  sorry, read-only
[06:24] <Bllz> okay cool! thanks much
[06:24] <shubuntu> thanks bring3 and troxor
[06:24] <shubuntu> lemme try and search
[06:25] <joanki2> ugh if no one can help me with that, can i safely install gutsy again without overwriting my home drive?
[06:25] <bring3> hope that solves things :)
[06:25] <astro76> joanki2: is /home a separate partition?
[06:26] <Darknezz> bring3: i have not tried that one but i have tried multisync, grsync, kitchensync
[06:26] <UBUNTUJAY123> how can i get java 6 to work in firefox2 in 8.04
[06:26] <KRaZy_WaKa> heh whatever just freed up 86.3MB by upgrading to latest firefox 3 lol
[06:26] <mohamed_> shubuntu-> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:26] <Bllz> how do i add users to a group?
[06:27] <troxor> Bllz: System->Administration->Users and Groups
[06:27] <joanki2> astro76, yes
[06:27] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok how do i uninstall firefox3
[06:27] <joanki2> i had swap, root and homeslice
[06:27] <joanki2> oops home
[06:27] <t35t0r> apt-get erase firefox3
[06:27] <Bllz> troxor:  thanks yet again =)
[06:27] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: will my extensions work? i was running 3 beta 5, and its still FF3 so shouldnt cause any problems with extensions right?
[06:27] <astro76> joanki2: then yes in the install you select manual partition, set the mount points of your existing partitions, and do *not* select to format /home
[06:27] <SheezayE> Please help, am trying to install ubuntu 8.04, and my monitor says over frequency
[06:28] <joanki2> astro76, thanks =)
[06:28] <joanki2> will do
[06:28] <UBUNTUJAY123> that dont work
[06:28] <bring3> Darknezz, some of those are totally unrelated, grsync for example is a frontend for rsync which has nothing to do with phones :)
[06:28] <joanki2> i hope everything stays safe!
[06:29] <joanki2> astro76, thanks for all your help
[06:29] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, idk exactly, i had incompatible stuff when upgrading from b4->b5, but no problems from b5->RC1. if it doesn't work you can always go back to b5 :)
[06:30] <shubuntu> sudo update-alternatives --config javac worked
[06:30] <bring3> SheezayE, when does that happen? maybe try the alternate install cd?
[06:30] <shubuntu> thanks mohamed
[06:30] <UBUNTUJAY123> it is safe to remove firefox-3.0 right
[06:30] <KRaZy_WaKa> bring3: true the only extensions i run are the usual anyway, java, flash, video, and adblocker lol
[06:30] <bring3> shubuntu, woo cool that sounds even better
[06:30] <KRaZy_WaKa> dont think i'll have any compatibility issues there
[06:30] <shubuntu> ty bring3
[06:30] <Bllz> help!  i can't enable guest access in my samba shares!!!
[06:31] <UBUNTUJAY123> they messed up with firefox 3
[06:31] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, yeah i know for a fact adblocker works fine, i had some issues with flash but the same thing happened to me with FFb4
[06:31] <bring3> shubuntu, glad you found a good answer :)

[06:32] <jonaskoelker> astro76: thanks

[06:33] <UBUNTUJAY123> i still cant get java 6 to work in ff2
[06:33] <Bllz> why can't I enable Guest Access under "sharing options"???
[06:33] <BurnedPhoenix> Question: I am a bit put off by upgrading my Graphics Drive for my Nvidia 8600GS Card because in the past after I ran the "nvidia" script my Video settings totally get hosed. Is there a way to install the current driver so that it will use my current settings but give me the benefit of the new features?
[06:33] <bring3> spikemcc, i recommend mythbuntu, you can install it from ubuntu if you already have that running, i have not use wintv usb but i have a wintv card that works fine
[06:33] <UBUNTUJAY123> iam getting ready to go back to 7.10
[06:33] <SheezayE> bring3: at install, after i choose install ubuntu
[06:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> good luck with it ubuntujay123
[06:34] <nickrud> UBUNTUJAY123 have you tried sudo update-java-alternatives ?
[06:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> i'm glad i upped to hardy
[06:34] <spikemcc> i just have my usb version and it's telled to work well on my laptop
[06:34] <UBUNTUJAY123> yes i have
[06:34] <SheezayE> bring3:yes the loading screen appears and right after that, the error appears
[06:34] <bring3> SheezayE, can you pick "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode"?
[06:35] <KRaZy_WaKa> WTF!? ff3b5 is an add-on? lol thats funny
[06:35] <UBUNTUJAY123> in ff3 the flashplay play back is very slow in full screen
[06:35] <Primrose> hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main doesn't work for me
[06:35] <bring3> spikemcc, well give it a try, see if it works ok :)
[06:35] <Bllz> why can't I enable Guest Access under "sharing options"???
[06:35] <nickrud> sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so UBUNTUJAY123 try that one
[06:35] <Primrose> It simple halts on ubuntu 8.04
 SheezayE, can you pick "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode"? - already done that still error appears
[06:35] <bcbooter> yo i have items in my trash, it wont let me delete them, how can i delete them?
[06:35] <BurnedPhoenix> Question: I am a bit put off by upgrading my Graphics Drive for my Nvidia 8600GS Card because in the past after I ran the "nvidia" script my Video settings totally get hosed. Is there a way to install the current driver so that it will use my current settings but give me the benefit of the new features?
[06:35] <astro76> bcbooter: which Ubuntu version?
[06:35] <bcbooter> 8.04
[06:36] <Bllz> why can't I enable Guest Access under "sharing options"???
[06:36] <bcbooter> it wouldnt let me move them to trash at first, but then i changed permission, so they are in trash now, but i cant delete them
[06:36] <astro76> bcbooter: sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[06:36] <Primrose> Any way to get hg working o ubuntu?
[06:36] <bcbooter> aiight
[06:36] <bcbooter> thnx ill try it
[06:36] <BurnedPhoenix> I am running 8.
[06:36] <PEZ> ok so i am still having problems with firefox. I used synaptic manager to uninstall all firefox 3 and re-install firefox 2 but it is still loading firefox 3 beta 5. How do I completely remove firefox 3? also when i tried to manually install firefox 2 it gave me an error with ++5 at the end.
[06:36] <spikemcc> bring3 it's my first time i don't know how to setup mythbuntu I have tried 1 time I can't seem to detect or install the driver
[06:37] <Bllz> why can't I enable Guest Access under "sharing options"???
[06:37] <Primrose> @PEZ use apt-get remove
[06:37] <UBUNTUJAY123> can i uninstall openjdk
[06:37] <KRaZy_WaKa> use openjdk and icedtea java plugin
[06:37] <bring3> spikemcc, do you have ubuntu running ok? what version of ubuntu do you have?
[06:37] <bcbooter> astro76: thanks bud, worked like a pro
[06:37] <UBUNTUJAY123> openjdk and ice will not work in ff2
[06:37] <Primrose> @UBUNTUjay!@# OFCOURSE U CAN
[06:37] <bring3> SheezayE, how about trying F4 to pick a different display mode? pick something really low :)
[06:37] <BurnedPhoenix> I am running 8.04 with an Nvidia 8600GS Graphics Card. I want to upgrade the video driver. Do the Restricted Drivers update on there own or is there a automated process that will allow me to install the newest June 1st Drivers while maintaining my Current Video settings?
[06:38] <KRaZy_WaKa> i have no problems with java
[06:38] <bring3> BurnedPhoenix, i think the restricted drivers are updated automatically, i don't know if your settings will be saved though
[06:38] <KRaZy_WaKa> and yes ubuntujay123 you can uninstall openjdk
[06:38] <spikemcc> 8.04 running perfectly on a dell inspiron 1501
[06:39] <SheezayE> bring3, what will i choose? the options are normal, safe graphics, use driver update cd and oem install
[06:39] <astro76> BurnedPhoenix: the restricted drivers (like all packages, except Firefox) will only be updated with the next Ubuntu version
[06:39] <bring3> SheezayE, try safe graphics
[06:39] <SheezayE> bring3, already done that
[06:39] <spikemcc> www.ubuntu1501.com as helped me a lot when I beginned with linux
[06:39] <bring3> oh i stand corrected
[06:39] <BurnedPhoenix> Astro76 how do I saftely go about upgrading myself?
[06:39] <bring3> SheezayE, so that didn't work either?
[06:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> ubuntujay123 applications > add/remove... for a GUI, and i'd have to refer you to someone else for proper CLI syntax
[06:39] <astro76> BurnedPhoenix: I believe many people use envyng to install ati/nvidia drivers
[06:40] <bring3> !envyng
[06:40] <astro76> !envyng | BurnedPhoenix
[06:40] <SheezayE> bring3, is there anyway i can alter the bootup? so i can choose textmode install
 SheezayE, so that didn't work either? - yes
[06:40] <bring3> SheezayE, try using the Alternate install cd, i think that is an option
[06:41] <jastiv> How do I install SDL in ubuntu?
 SheezayE, try using the Alternate install cd, i think that is an option - does this still includes the x?
[06:41] <kjnelan> bring3: aren't there several boot options that she could try, perhaps the noacip option or something else?
[06:41] <UBUNTUJAY123> iam removeing jdk and icetea
[06:41] <bring3> spikemcc, use Synaptic Package Manager to search for and install the mythbuntu-desktop package
[06:41] <PEZ> so this is still really bugging me. For some reason in firefox 3, it does not display some website correctly. On some of them the site has huge lettering, extremely huge. I can't figure out how to fix it.
[06:42] <spikemcc> http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-PVR-USB2
[06:42] <UBUNTUJAY123> why does 8.04 hate FF2
[06:42] <spikemcc> i can easily install mythbuntu
[06:42] <bring3> SheezayE, it will install all the same things as the regular cd, just uses a different installation interface
[06:42] <UBUNTUJAY123> it keeps saying java plungin missing in FF2
[06:42] <bring3> kjnelan, yep maybe, but i don't know what other options to try
[06:42] <spikemcc> i can get the drivers to work they say they are included in the linux kernel
[06:42] <KRaZy_WaKa> ok on first-run of firefox 3 RC 2 it pops up with firefox update > incompatible add-ons: ff3b5 and Xulrunner 1.9b5 and it wants me to check if there are compatible versions
[06:43] <SheezayE> bring3 - ok will try that, thanks so much
[06:43] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, hrm you did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade right?
[06:43] <yatra> hi all
[06:43] <KRaZy_WaKa> i didnt realize ff3b5 was an add-on lol, i always though it was the program how can it be an addon to itself?
[06:43] <bring3> SheezayE, hope it works :) come back if you still have trouble
[06:44] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, idk that is a strange error
[06:44] <KRaZy_WaKa> yes i did bring3

[06:49] <kbrosnan> PEZ: you might be hitting https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394103
[06:49] <Bllz> how do i enable samba guest access?  the option under "share options" in the context menu is grayed out?
[06:50] <Zoem> what is the script that runs on beginning an gnome session? whenever I load into gnome, something hangs before the panel can come up. Failsafe gnome prevents this.
[06:50] <legend2440> lwizardl: no i've only used ed2k links in amule
[06:50] <bring3> Bllz, haha, all the more reason to talk about it then right?? anyway it just shows we get all sorts here at #ubuntu , it is not exclusive to tech heads :D
[06:50] <KRaZy_WaKa> so far so good with firefox 3 RC2, seems to load pages faster
[06:50] <lwizardl> what would be the path for amule?
[06:51] <bring3> KRaZy_WaKa, woohoo! <3 FF3 :)
[06:51] <moa_> caca
[06:51] <PEZ> well if i go to view>page style>no style it work's fine, but looks very blah! any idea what it could be?
[06:51] <bring3> lwizardl,  /usr/bin/amule or /usr/bin/amulegui
[06:52] <legend2440> lwizardl: you mean to install amule?
[06:52] <spikemcc> june will be great wine 1 and FF3 mmmmm tasty !!!
[06:52] <lwizardl> legend2440, no trying to register the links
[06:52] <Syntux> spik wine 1? this is amazing
[06:52] <UBUNTUJAY123> whats the su password
[06:52] <bring3> PEZ, what is the problem before you disable page style?
[06:52] <bring3> !su
[06:52] <lwizardl> UBUNTUJAY123, same as your user pass usually
[06:52] <PEZ> extremely huge lettering
[06:52] <bring3> lwizardl, no there is no SU, Ubuntu uses SUDO
[06:53] <spikemcc> sorry to like wine but if it can kill microsoft I'm with them
[06:53] <bring3> !sudo | UBUNTUJAY123
[06:53] <lwizardl> bring3, i thought he was trying sudo su
[06:53] <UBUNTUJAY123> iam trying ot install java off sun java site i downloaded it and it say to type su in the termianl
[06:53] <bring3> lwizardl, oh maybe lol, idk
[06:53] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, just use SUDO ---command--- instead
[06:54] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, you can get the same thing from repositories, you just have to ask for it
[06:54] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok
[06:54] <UBUNTUJAY123> ty
[06:54] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, then enter your user password
[06:54] <Lego> anyone know a way to pxe install via a win xp host as server?
[06:54] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, oh yeah actually you are better off using the repositories to install, it is easier and more reliable :)
[06:54] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre or sun-java6-jdk depending on which one you want
[06:54] <bring3> ^ that
[06:55] <bring3> Lego, for PXE to work the server must be running TFTP and DHCP
[06:55] <Lego> aye
[06:55] <Lego> xp has no dhcp serve afaik
[06:55] <PEZ> ok thanks for the help i typed about:config into the adress bar and changed layout.css.dpi from -1 to 96, now everything works perfect!
[06:55] <bring3> Lego, you may be up a river :(
[06:55] <Lego> perhaps i can boot livecd and run dhcpd that way?
[06:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> i did insatll it from add and remove
[06:55] <Lego> the target machine has no removable media
[06:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> but its still not working in FF2
[06:56] <bring3> PEZ whoa, ok well glad it worked!
[06:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> for some odd reason
[06:56] <legend2440> lwizardl: sorry don't know about registering ed2k links. i just cut and paste the links into amule to download files
[06:56] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, oh, you want the plugin
[06:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> yeah
[06:56] <troxor> Lego: vmware/virtualbox with an ubuntu guest? ;)
[06:56] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, you can install that through firefox itself, although you should move up to a FireFox 3 first
[06:56] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, thats fine, java should be installed then but yeah you might need to do something else to get it working with firefox
[06:56] <PEZ> lol ya seemed weird for me too but it worked
[06:56] <Lego> lol, my poor laptop with vmware on it....
[06:56]  * Lego shivers
[06:57] <UBUNTUJAY123> i dont like ff3
[06:57] <troxor> Lego: you don't need much for a dhcp/pxe server
[06:57] <UBUNTUJAY123> ubuntu is getting like microsoft
[06:57] <troxor> Lego: cygwin might be another option
[06:57] <bring3> Lego> perhaps i can boot livecd and run dhcpd that way? - that's probably the best option, unless there is any way at all to add removeable devices like by USB or something
[06:57] <renegade444> ﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some issues with my Webcam. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but I seem to be having some pallette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/d1caf7b3a  So, my question really is: Does anyone have an Idea how to fix the pallette well enough to actually use my webcam? It would really mak
[06:57] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, explain that one plz :P
[06:57] <Lego> ya, i think maybe i'll boot livecd and then fire up pxe environment....does the live cd come with dhcpd/tftpd?
[06:57] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, what don't you like about FF3? it is great imho
[06:58] <KRaZy_WaKa> ok later all bring3: thanx for ther ff3 upgrade info
[06:58] <UBUNTUJAY123> forceing people to use programes they dont want
[06:58] <bring3> take care KRaZy_WaKa
[06:58] <Six_> hello
[06:58] <Six_> So whats happening here?
[06:58] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, lol well i don't think you are forced to, but you might want to since it will make your life easier :)
[06:59] <UBUNTUJAY123> FF3 use way to much of my cpu and slow flash player play back
[06:59] <crdlb> UBUNTUJAY123: firefox 2 is still available; you are not forced to use 3
[06:59] <spikemcc> http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.html#Setup explanation please !!!
[06:59] <jastiv> Why can't I get my new sdl program to compile in ubunuu?
[06:59] <UBUNTUJAY123> yeah i am it will not let java work in ff2 no matter what i do
[06:59] <UBUNTUJAY123> i install java6
[06:59] <bring3> UBUNTUJAY123, hmm thats strange, mine uses way less CPU than FF2 on most websites i visit, flash has problems for me in FF2 and FF3
[06:59] <crdlb> and there is no conceivable way that ubuntu could have included firefox2 as the default browser in hardy as mozilla refuses to provide long-term support for old versions of firefox
[07:00] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, have you installed the restricted extras package?
[07:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> java6 runtime and browser plug in in add and remove
[07:00] <Lachlan> Hi guys, does anybody know how I can check if a driver is blacklisted, or the system even recognizes the driver as installed? More specifically I want to know if my system has the Intel 945G graphics driver installed. (Yes the package is installed.)
[07:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> i uninstalled javajdk and icetea
[07:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> and ff3
[07:00] <UBUNTUJAY123> and the jave will not work in ff2 at all
[07:01] <crdlb> Lachlan: what's the problem exactly? that should work just fine by default
[07:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> and yah i have ubuntu restricted extras installed
[07:01] <Zoem> ok, the firefox java plugin is located it the restricted extras package. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:01] <Zoem> or grab it from add/remove
[07:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> zoem
[07:01] <UBUNTUJAY123> that ubuntu restriced is javajdk and icetes for ff3
[07:02] <UBUNTUJAY123> and i installed every thing for ff2 and java still will not work
[07:02] <Zoem> it is also the configurator that makes the links to ff for the plugin
[07:02] <UBUNTUJAY123> thats called forced to use ff3
[07:02] <Zoem> if you like, I can just tell you which symlinks to create
[07:03] <UBUNTUJAY123> just for get i downgrade or go to windows
[07:03] <UBUNTUJAY123> as bad as i hate to
[07:03] <crdlb> UBUNTUJAY123: no, that's called a limitation; the ubuntu developers are not omnipotent
[07:03] <mohamed_> spikemcc-> which card you have ?
[07:03] <Zoem> ...
[07:03] <Lachlan> crdlb: I've been trying to solve this problem for some time now. My system is using software rendering rather than the graphics hardware. I have the appropriate driver packages installed.
[07:03] <Zoem> so, back to my question
[07:03] <Zoem> what is the script that runs on beginning an gnome session? whenever I load into gnome, something hangs before the panel can come up. Failsafe gnome prevents this.
[07:03] <crdlb> Lachlan: do you have xserver-xgl installed?
[07:04] <exador> Can anyone help me resolve this update error i keep getting W: GPG error: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY CB53C4079072870B
[07:04] <crdlb> Zoem: check ~/.gnome2/session and ~/.config/autostart/
[07:04] <Zoem> giving up and being pissy is the best way to thank someone for help
[07:04] <Six_> Does anyone besides me, have problems with the ubuntu 3D Drivers for the ATI Video cards?
[07:04] <Zoem> crdlb, thank you, I should have thought of .config/autostart. That's prolly where it is
[07:04] <BurnedPhoenix> here here Ziem
[07:06] <spikemcc> hauppage wintvpvrusb 2
[07:07] <grndslm> spikemcc:  you trying to setup mythtv or something?
[07:07] <vlt> Hello. How can I tell an app (kdm in this case) to use only as much pixels as X is currently displaying? When the mouse pointer now reaches the edge of the visible 1280x1024 area the content "scrolls", it seems to be at least 1600x1***. Any idea?
[07:07] <Lego> Ahhhh!  Success!  http://tftpd32.jounin.net/   tftp+dhcp server for windows!
[07:07] <Lego> netboot here i come!
[07:08] <spikemcc> mythtv on any other
[07:08] <grndslm> vlt:  have you messed with /etc/X11/xorg.conf you should try doing that if you haven't.... or googling to find example configs of that same file
[07:09] <spikemcc> i just want to use my tv-tuner
[07:09] <exador> Can anyone help me resolve this update error i keep getting W: GPG error: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY CB53C4079072870B
[07:09] <grndslm> spikemcc:  i don't have that exact tuner, but mythtv is great, IMO.... you might have better help asking in #mythtv-users or #ubuntu-mythtv
[07:09] <BurnedPhoenix> bring3: Thank for the info EnvyNG - Downloading the packages now
[07:09] <spikemcc> thanks !!!
[07:09] <grndslm> spikemcc:  it's also nice to add the username of the person you're talking to somewhere in your lines so that they know you're talking to them specifically
[07:10] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok my friend called me and told me to do this
[07:10] <Lachlan> crdlb: No I don't, what's that package?
[07:10] <bring3> BurnedPhoenix, oh sure, hope it works out, heard lots of good things :)
[07:10] <werneck> instead of installing, how can I can I download all deb packages and dependencies to some directory?
[07:10] <mohamed_> spikemcc-> i use also different tuner , but the point try to be sure that the correct  driver installed, then try it with mythtv
[07:10] <UBUNTUJAY123> delete ~/.mozilla / dir
[07:10] <UBUNTUJAY123> how i do that
[07:11] <Zoem> shoot, I can't get find anything that seems broken
[07:11] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, rm ~/.mozilla
[07:11] <UBUNTUJAY123> he said to uninstall ff2 and do that and reinstall ff2
[07:11] <crdlb> Lachlan: something you don't want installed :) It's no longer necessary, but if you had it installed, it would make direct rendering appear to be disabled
[07:11] <Zoem> err.. rm -rf ~/.mozilla, actually
[07:11] <grndslm> UBUNTUJAY123:  you'll loose all your bookmarks that way if you have any
[07:11] <mohamed_> spikemcc-> if u face problem with driver you can join #linuxtv asking them for more details
[07:11] <crdlb> Lachlan: please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:11] <UBUNTUJAY123> i odnt have any
[07:12] <grndslm> then np
[07:12] <bobboy> anyone know anything about OpenGEU? i have a quick question
[07:12] <Zoem> Any suggestions on how to trace the error I have on startup? would that show up in dmesg or something?
[07:12] <BurnedPhoenix> UBUNTUJAY123: That is basically removing all your personal data for FF Bookmarks, Preferences and such
[07:12] <bring3> sorry bobboy, never heard of it :(
[07:12] <grndslm> bobboy:  ask away, but you *might* have better help in the #opengeu cahnnel
[07:13] <UBUNTUJAY123> it say it cant remove it its a directory
[07:13] <grndslm> he sent you another command to use the -r switch
[07:13] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, to uninstall and reinstall it, sudo apt-get remove firefox-2 && sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[07:13] <bobboy> well its just that the installation instruction when done installing says goto Applications --> System Tools --> OpenGEU-configuration
[07:14] <BurnedPhoenix> pop a Sudo in front =)
[07:14] <grndslm> rm -r ~/.mozilla
[07:14] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, and I ammended that to rm -rf ~/.mozilla
[07:14] <UBUNTUJAY123> he said to remove it because it complies to ff3
[07:14] <Zoem> the bookmarks and personal information storage hasn't changed between them
[07:14] <Zoem> they are the same thing
[07:14] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok it did ty
[07:14] <Lachlan> crdlb: The output is huge, is there a way I can `cat` it straight to my clipboard?
[07:14] <bobboy> i have OpenGEU-defaults .... OpenGEU Theme Manager.... and OpenGEU-composite-startup
[07:14] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, to uninstall and reinstall it, sudo apt-get remove firefox-2 && sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[07:15] <yotsu> Hi how do I move a directory in terminal?
[07:15] <yotsu> from point a to B
[07:15] <yotsu> mv doesn't work
[07:15] <UBUNTUJAY123> Zoem he said it had ff3 in that as the default browser in the ~/.mozilla dir
[07:15] <mohamed_> yotsu->  mv a b
[07:15] <UBUNTUJAY123> he said thats why no plug ins will work with ff2
[07:16] <mohamed_> yotsu-> sudo  mv a b
[07:16] <UBUNTUJAY123> could he be right
[07:16] <grndslm> anybody here disable sudo??  i always type sudo -s to gain root shell, but i'm kinda getting sick of typing in my password 50 times everyday...  you guys really think it's that much of a threat to disable?
[07:16] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ~/.mozilla only holds information for the browser, and it will hold that information regardless of which version of the browser you use
[07:16] <crdlb> Lachlan: open it in a text editor such as gedit
[07:17] <bring3>   grndslm , just keep the same terminal window open, and you do not have to reenter password
[07:17] <UBUNTUJAY123> this what he told me is that ff3 is default browser in 8.04 and in the ~/.mozilla dir its got in there that ff3 is default
[07:18] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, have you removed ff3?
[07:18] <UBUNTUJAY123> yeah
[07:18] <grndslm> that is a bad habit of mine, but really... i'm wondering if anybody's system has been compromised by disabling sudo access??
[07:18] <powertool08> does anybody have a hardened sshd_config they could pastebin?
[07:18] <niru> I want to create a customized ubuntu cd what is the procedure
[07:18] <bring3> grndslm, how come you need to use SUDO 50 times per day? that might mean you need to rearrange user permissions, since chances are you only need to use SUDO in rare cases like installing new software
[07:18] <exador> Can anyone help me resolve this update error i keep getting W: GPG error: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY CB53C4079072870B
[07:18] <niru> fo creating a customized live cum install cd in ubuntu
[07:18] <UBUNTUJAY123> is he right though zome
[07:19] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, no
[07:19] <dkt_> ok random thing happens when i try and install ubuntu on a dell laptop...
[07:19] <grndslm> bring3:  i'm talking about loging in & typing it in gdm.. & mostly me closing the terminal... bad habit
[07:19] <Rat409> !remaster | niru
[07:19] <dkt_> it jus shuts down on me
[07:19] <UBUNTUJAY123> i will find out in a sec i tell u if it works ok
[07:19] <GibbaTheHutt> must admit I use root all the time, just find I need it often, cant see its a problem unless you do things in root that you shouldnt so depends
[07:19] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, but if you are going to reinstall anyway, and you have no bookmarks, it certainly doesn't hurt to delet it
[07:19] <grndslm> bring3:  i do install & remove packages daily, yes... at different times
[07:20] <bring3> grndslm, hehe yeah, just minimize instead :) but also, what are you actually using SUDO for?
[07:20] <renegade444> ﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some issues with my Webcam. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but I seem to be having some pallette issues with the driver.

It would really mak
[07:20] <niru> can anybody
[07:20] <bring3> grndslm, okay, there is no getting around that except minimizing terminal i think
[07:20] <UBUNTUJAY123> still didnt work
[07:20] <UBUNTUJAY123> :(
[07:20] <grndslm> bring3: or disabling sudo
[07:21] <Rat409> UBUNTUJAY123: you can mv the ~/.mozilla to .bak or run firefox -ProfileManager to bring up the create,remove profile dialog
[07:21] <UBUNTUJAY123> some how i have to get ff2 as default browser
[07:21] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, that's because you don't have the java plugin installed or linked. I'm currently running both FF2 and FF3 with java running
[07:21] <bring3> grndslm, i meant _good_ ways to get around that :D
[07:21] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, at the same time, even
[07:21] <UBUNTUJAY123> how do i do that
[07:21] <UBUNTUJAY123> i got ff3 removed
[07:21] <Rat409> Zoem: i 3 plus swiftfox but use separate profiles
[07:21] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, what is contents of ~/.mozilla/plugins?
[07:21] <bring3> grndslm, its probably not a huge security risk for a home computer, but id say don't do it on a server, plus you know it can be a bad habit to form :)
[07:22] <Lachlan> crdlb: Did you get that link?
[07:22] <grndslm> yea, i'm really after the windows way of ditching security & never using passwords... has anybody done this and had an issue with being compromised
[07:22] <lastelement1> hey all, im running ubuntu on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop with ALC681 sound card. however i am getting no sound. how cna i get sound to work?
[07:22] <UBUNTUJAY123> what java u runing with it zoem
[07:22] <grndslm> bring3:  i have no server other than mythtv
[07:22] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, I use sun-java6 from the jdk, because I also develop java
[07:22] <UBUNTUJAY123> dont know zoem
[07:22] <bring3> grndslm, what do you mean, windows constantly asks me for admin password :/
[07:22] <niru> how to create  a customized ubuntu live cum install cd
[07:22] <UBUNTUJAY123> how i find that out whats in there
[07:22] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ls ~/.mozilla/plugins
[07:22] <synapse_> hardy, 2.6.24-18-generic. What to heck happend to virtualbox-ose-modules ?
[07:23] <dkt_> anyone have an issue with installing ubuntu on a laptop? specifically start the instaler from the live cd and the machine shuts down.. (not like a hard power off... but like i typed in sudo shutdown -h now) i did actually install ubuntu using alternate install cd... but randomly 5 mins to 20 mins.. the system shuts down... anyone have ideas?
[07:23] <grndslm> bring3:  i meant xp!  and most servers, you'd always wanna be logged in as root BEFORE you connect the machine to the network
[07:23] <Rat409> !sudoers | grndslm
[07:23] <Rat409> hmm
[07:23] <bring3> grndslm, i mean if your computer is not exposed to public internet traffic. it is probably not too dangerous, but you might be better in the long run to find a safer way to do what you want
[07:23] <grndslm> Rat409:  i know all about sudo
[07:23] <grndslm> i'm asking for experience
[07:23] <UBUNTUJAY123> it say can not access no suck dir
[07:24] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ok, did you actually reinstall firefox-2 yet?
[07:24] <Rat409> edit /etc/sudoers add nopasswd to your normal user plus the std all all bla bla
[07:24] <grndslm> so, either way, nobody here has disabled sudo
[07:24] <grndslm> ??
[07:24] <UBUNTUJAY123> yes i have
[07:24] <Rat409> if you must
[07:24] <bring3> grndslm, well you know that is actually a bad thing about WinXP, it is perfectly happy to let the user be logged in with full root permissions :(
[07:24] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, then you should make one
[07:25] <UBUNTUJAY123> i give up on this
[07:25] <mrcar> or maybe a simple script to do that, im not very good w/ programming though
[07:25] <grndslm> bring3:  i understand it's VERY bad on XP because of the vulnerabilities already presented thru it's widespread adoption... but on Ubuntu, for now... it couldn't be THAT bad, right?
[07:25] <mrcar> woops
[07:25] <UBUNTUJAY123> i dont know how ot make one
[07:25] <dkt_> anyone have any ideas on my previously mentioned problem? even where to start looking?
[07:25] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[07:25] <bring3> grndslm, yeah i don't think it would be a huge risk for most users, but still if you can find a better way that will probably be better for you in the long run... :)
[07:25] <UBUNTUJAY123> how i get java in there
[07:26] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, you may need to break that up, mkdir ~/.mozilla && mkbir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[07:26] <renegade444> grndslm: Disabling sudo and running root is generally concidered such a security hole that I doubt anyone here has actually done it.
[07:26] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
[07:26] <Eleaf> ubvntu
[07:26] <dkt_> grndslm: just run sudo bash -l if you really need a root console ;-)
[07:26] <bring3> yeah system security ain't nothing to futz with
[07:27] <grndslm> dkt_:  what's wrong with sudo -s?
[07:27] <grndslm> or sudo -i?
[07:27] <UBUNTUJAY123> then what
[07:27] <dkt_> grndslm: nothing ;-)
[07:27] <vlt> grndslm: xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16781/
[07:27] <UBUNTUJAY123> do i have to have the ubuntu cd in when i do that
[07:27] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
[07:27] <bring3> grndslm, idk what those even do, why not just use regular sudo __command___?
[07:27] <moj0rising> hello
[07:28] <bring3> hello
[07:28] <dkt_> hiya
[07:28] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, we may need to adjust that for the current path setups, my source is actually a little old
[07:28] <grndslm> bring3:  because i always have to type sudo for every line.... f that
[07:28] <grndslm> why type sudo ever if nobody's gonna hack my router and gain access to my pc?
[07:28] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok
[07:28] <UBUNTUJAY123> now what
[07:28] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, that one went through?
[07:28] <UBUNTUJAY123> yep
[07:29] <grndslm> and i really don't have much to hide from anyone.... all my music was recorded off the sound card which is still legal in the U.S.!!
[07:29] <Rat409> grndslm: if you must i allready told you edit /etc/sudoers,i'm sure theres a man page
[07:29] <bring3> grndslm, oh ok i see
[07:29] <moj0rising> I'm in trouble. :)  I broke my system duting an upgrade.   Can I do a mini-scroll -- 5 lines to show you what I'm looking at?
[07:29] <bring3> !paste moj0rising
[07:29] <moj0rising> during, that is.
[07:29] <soldats> grndslm: the linux philosophy is security and useability so put 2 and 2 together
[07:29] <bring3> !pastebin moj0rising
[07:29] <grndslm> Rat409:  i'm not asking for sudo info, i'm asking for experience from people who have done so... and if their system(s) have actually been compromised...
[07:29] <bring3> !paste | moj0rising
[07:29] <Rat409> ohh sorry then
[07:29] <bring3> moj0rising, use pastebin
[07:29] <grndslm> my guess that 100% of un-sudoed desktops won't be compromised... but i duno for sure
[07:30] <UBUNTUJAY123> is that all i have to do zoem
[07:30] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[07:30] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, we may also need to adjust some of these paths if it doesn't work first time
[07:30] <moj0rising> pasted
[07:30] <UBUNTUJAY123> that one worked
[07:31] <bring3> moj0rising, copy the link to your pastebin to the chat here
[07:31] <moj0rising> that's a little snippet. there is more but hopefully it's enough since my main machine is not working.
[07:31] <eight_> Hi, how do I start apache2 on ubuntu (I have it installed)?
[07:31] <moj0rising> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16782/
[07:31] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ok, one more. give me a second
[07:31] <UBUNTUJAY123> ok
[07:31] <dkt_> eight_: /etc/init.d/apache start?
[07:31] <bring3> eight_, it should start automatically, try going to http://localhost/ in your browser
[07:31] <grndslm> dkt_:  SUDO!!
[07:31] <moj0rising> eight_: /etc/init.d/httpd start
[07:31] <Ienorand> !seen joshual
[07:31] <soldats> eight_: try "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart/start" either choose start or restart
[07:31] <dkt_> grndslm: no wai!
[07:31] <mohamed_> eight_-> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start :)
[07:32] <grndslm> yes wai!
[07:32] <grndslm> heh
[07:32] <moj0rising> I'm pretty sure the init.d script for httpd is httpd actually.
[07:32] <moj0rising> :)
[07:32] <eight_> ok, thanks guys.. just used to arch and having this things in /etc/rc.d..
[07:32] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, ok, sudo update-alternatives --config java
[07:32] <dkt_> moj0rising: checking lol
[07:32] <themoebius> hey I have my computer running as a router and on my client computer when I go to a secure site like gmail it says the certificate is only valid for *.gridserver.com. Gridserver is part of mediatemple which hosts my website, but how the hell am I getting a certificate from there when I go to an http site?
[07:33] <moj0rising> haha.
[07:33] <dkt_> moj0rising: nope is apache2
[07:33] <soldats> eight_: as am i a lot of file placements i cant remember fully for ubuntu
[07:33] <dkt_> if your running apache2 lol
[07:33] <UBUNTUJAY123> is that it
[07:33] <moj0rising> really, weird. I stand corrected.
[07:33] <moj0rising> thanks, dkt_
[07:33] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, and select the option with /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java to be the one on top
[07:33] <bring3> hrm moj0rising not quite sure what to make of that, try sudo apt-get clean and then sudo apt-get update
[07:33] <nitin> :-)
[07:33] <niru> ubuntu customized cd creation how to
[07:33] <moj0rising> It's httpd on red hat & suse, which I have to use at work (not my choice).
[07:34] <UBUNTUJAY123> i did
[07:34] <moj0rising> bring3: would this help? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/hal/+bug/25931
[07:34] <grndslm> vlt:  ya still there?
[07:34] <dkt_> eight_: most of the startup scripts are in /etc/init.d/ just call em with a stat/restart/stop
[07:34] <Rat409> !remaster | niru
[07:34] <Zoem> ok, restart FF, and try a java sight. i like http://llk.media.mit.edu/projects/emergence/
[07:34] <moj0rising> I'll try your suggestion in the meantime, bring3
[07:34] <Zoem> *site

[07:35] <niru> ubottu: I want a link for creating a live-cum install cd version of ubuntu
[07:35] <UBUNTUJAY123> so that was all i have to do zoem
[07:35] <StuntMan> hello all, anyone have any luck getting a HP D2545 printer to work?
[07:35] <dkt_> bah someone is using my name :-(
[07:35] <moj0rising> eight_: you can also sometimes do a --help at the end of those scripts as well to see what options are available.
[07:35] <benanzo> I would like to use 'mail' to send email from the command line, anyone know how to specify outgoing smtp server?
[07:35] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, should be working now. that is the full manual install of a java plugin :)
[07:35] <bring3> moj0rising, hrm that is beyond me but if you think you are experiencing that bug, post whatever relevant info you can :)
[07:35] <dkt_> moj0rising: didnt know that one ;-)
[07:35] <vlt> grndslm: y
[07:35] <UBUNTUJAY123> hang on i see if it works
[07:36] <grndslm> vlt:  was that your xorg.conf?
[07:36] <karllenz> im trying to format my external hdd to ntfs and gparted wont allow me to do it the ntfs option is greyed out?
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> not working
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> :(
[07:36] <dkt_> so anyone have any thoughts as to what would cause a laptop to randomly shutdown? or have any idea how i could figure it out?
[07:36] <moj0rising> bring3: That didn't help.  :(
[07:36] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, what site are you checking on?
[07:36] <vlt> grndslm: Yes.
[07:36] <grndslm> vlt:  do you have hardy? gutsy?
[07:36] <bring3> StuntMan, try enabling Proprietary Drivers in System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[07:36] <hrnt> hmm, any idea how to change my timezone? Using time-admin to select Europe/Helsinki keeps my tz to be +03:00 (should be +02:00)
[07:36] <UBUNTUJAY123> dslreport
[07:36] <dromer> since yesterday I don't have any sound, when I try to start alsamixer I get: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[07:36] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, url?
[07:36] <moj0rising> bummer. anyone else have any ideas on my crazy problem?
[07:37] <moj0rising> ooh! I just remembered...
[07:37] <vlt> grndslm: Hardy
[07:37] <bring3> sorry moj0rising that is my default "apt-get is broken" response :(
[07:37] <dkt_> moj0rising: missed your issue whats up?
[07:37] <UBUNTUJAY123> www.dslreports.com/stest
[07:37] <moj0rising> haha. that's ok.
[07:37] <hrnt> ah, never mind. summertime :(
[07:37] <moj0rising> ...this probably stems from a sin I committed when I first set this feisty box up like a year ago
[07:37] <renegade444> !remaster | niru
[07:37] <bring3> moj0rising> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16782/
[07:37] <Lachlan> crdlb: Just following up on that link I sent you, does it give you any insights?
[07:37] <karllenz> any one y cant i format
[07:37] <moj0rising> I used automatix  :(
[07:38] <moj0rising> I know, I know.   ;)
[07:38] <Zoem> hmmm
[07:38] <StuntMan> bring3: proprietary drivers for devices is enabled
[07:38] <moj0rising> so I used automatix to install my intel video drivers....
[07:38] <UBUNTUJAY123> i just install ff3 back
[07:38] <bring3> StuntMan, any chance the printer shows up in System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers?
[07:38] <moj0rising> ... I'm wondering how I can maybe remove anything automatix installed?
[07:38] <vlt> grndslm: A fresh install. I only used the system settings dialog once to set resolution to 1280x1024, wich created all these mode lines in xorg.conf
[07:38] <UBUNTUJAY123> i guess and tomorrow get my windows back going
[07:38] <dkt_> who knows how to run off quit and joined messages in xchat-gnome ;-)
[07:38] <UBUNTUJAY123> thanks any ways zoem
[07:39] <grndslm> vlt:  here's my xorg.conf.... you should take note of the mode lines & substitute with the rezes allowed by your monitor/graphics card:  http://pastebin.ca/1038467
[07:39] <Zoem> np
[07:39] <moj0rising> I already tried something like this by removing the 915 drivers and moving my xorg.conf file to a different location.
[07:39] <bring3> ./quit message i think
[07:39] <moj0rising> but that didn't seem to help.
[07:39] <moj0rising> I think damn automatix broke something
[07:39] <moj0rising> but I don't know what.
[07:39] <moj0rising> possibly related to my video drivers
[07:39] <grndslm> vlt:  you should be able to use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' like it suggests in that file, but i don't do that personally
[07:39] <moj0rising> becuase that post I showed you pertains to video
[07:40] <Rat409> karllenz: if you mean a hdd or a partition it must be unmounted first
[07:40] <moj0rising> and hal interfaces with that, I'm sure (don't know much about that).
[07:40] <StuntMan> I think I just stumbled onto it.... thanks bring3....
[07:40] <grndslm> vlt:  and then hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[07:40] <bring3> StuntMan, woohoo! hope that works out okay :)
[07:41] <renegade444> ﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some issues with my Webcam. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but I seem to be having some pallette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/d1caf7b3a  So, my question really is: Does anyone have an Idea how to fix the pallette well enough to actually use my webcam? It would really mak
[07:41] <karllenz> Rat409: it is unmounted
[07:42] <Rat409> karllenz: you used sudo or are root?
[07:42] <moj0rising> dkt_: sorry, missed your question.
[07:42] <karllenz> Rat409: i can partition to ext3 well its gparted and it asks me for my admin password
[07:42] <moj0rising> basically I get an error about hal from apt-get.
[07:42] <dkt_> moj0rising: hmmm?
[07:43] <moj0rising> kinda like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16782/
[07:43] <moj0rising> mine is similar on another box
[07:43] <moj0rising> that one's broken.  :|
[07:43] <moj0rising> dkt_: not sure what to do about it but I think the problem might have to do w/ me using automatix way back...
[07:43] <moj0rising> ...to install intel video drivers
[07:44] <geronimo89> hello everybody
[07:44] <bring3> hello
[07:44] <moj0rising> but I can't seem to find a way to find out or roll back changes automatix may have made
[07:44] <soldats> dkt_: right click the channel tab in xchat and select ignore join parts
[07:45] <dkt_> moj0rising: sorry man im def not able to help yo on that one ;-)
[07:45] <w3rd_> n e one in here use vmware esx server?
[07:45] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assig hotkey to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly?
[07:45] <bring3> karllenz, try sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[07:46] <karllenz> bring3: ok
[07:46] <moj0rising> that's all right. thanks for looking at it.
[07:46] <Zoem> any suggestions how to wipe a loptop hard-drive without opening the computer?
[07:46] <moj0rising> :)
[07:46] <geronimo89> assign*
[07:46] <bring3> karllenz, it might already be installed but check and see
[07:46] <gordonjcp> Zoem: can you boot from a CD?
[07:46] <karllenz> bring3: it is installed
[07:46] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly?
[07:47] <soldats> geronimo89: i think the default is alt+1 or alt+2 etc
[07:47] <Zoem> gordonjcp, no. laptop will not power on. We just want to wipe the hard drive before excercising the warranty
[07:47] <karllenz> bring3: is there another way to format a hdd other then using gparted
[07:47] <Resistol> Does anyone know how a site like cnn.com can send different info to two computers behind a router?
[07:47] <PEZ> any of you use ushare?
[07:47] <welkin> can any one tel me wat is the difference between ftp download and http download
[07:47] <Resistol> As far as I know, a packet coming from cnn.com will only have the router's public IP address... it wouldn't have a MAC address or anything would it?  Someone mentionned something about "sockets" but I don't know what those are yet
[07:47] <geronimo89> soldats: I an only assign them for desktop 1 and 2, there is no option for 3 and 4
[07:47] <gordonjcp> Zoem: ah, in which case you'll need to pop the drive out and stick it on some sort of adaptor, or into another laptop
[07:47] <gordonjcp> welkin: the protocols are different
[07:47] <gordonjcp> welkin: and they use different servers
[07:47] <Zoem> gordonjcp, opening the laptop voids the warranty
[07:47] <Resistol> welkin, I think they're just different protocols - the rules and commands are different behind the scenes
[07:48] <bring3> karllenz, yup there are command line tools, try fdisk or cfdisk, gparted should work though...
[07:48] <gordonjcp> Zoem: can't remove the drive without opening the case?
[07:48] <geronimo89> Zoem: dban, dirks boot and nuke
[07:48] <gordonjcp> welkin: have a look on wikipedia...
[07:48] <gordonjcp> geronimo89: not much good if it won't power up
[07:48] <soldats> geronimo89: i think if you go to the keyboard properties in settings or admin keyboard settings you can change it but i havent used gnome in a long time
[07:48] <geronimo89> Zoem:
[07:48] <geronimo89> http://dban.sourceforge.net/
[07:48] <soldats> just a guess from memory
[07:48] <geronimo89> gordonjcp: oh, sorry
[07:48] <bring3> karllenz, make sure of course the drive is not mounted, also you could try using ntfsprogs (apt-get install ntfsprogs first)
[07:48] <gordonjcp> Zoem: definitely won't power up at all?
[07:49] <karllenz> bring3: they are definatly not mounted ill try fisk tho
[07:49] <Zoem> gordonjcp, not at all. no bios activity, no fan activity
[07:49] <Zoem> the light turns on, then off
[07:49] <gordonjcp> Zoem: hm
[07:49] <welkin> gordonjcp, resisto.>>>> thanks guys............
[07:49] <gordonjcp> Zoem: you're going to need to talk to the manufacturer for some advice then
[07:49] <dkt_> so anyone have any idea why a fresh install ubuntu laptop shuts down randomly? like goes though a full ubuntu shutdown procedure... not just a hard shutdown.. can happen 5 minutes into running the laptop or 30...
[07:50] <welkin> gordonjcp, resistol.>>>> thanks guys............
[07:50] <gordonjcp> Zoem: tell them you're concerned about confidential data on the laptop
[07:50] <Zoem> gordonjcp, lol, they will say "send us the laptop" and we want to null the information on hard-drive first
[07:50] <karllenz> bring3: is this my usb external?fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[07:50] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkey to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2.
[07:50] <bring3> Zoem, you should be able to pull the HD without violating your warranty, i guess you should double check to sure though
[07:50] <dkt_> geronimo89: do you have 4 desktops enabled? or just 2?
[07:50] <Zoem> oh well, I'd rather not worry about it. not my laptop anyway
[07:50] <geronimo89> dkt_: I have 4 enabled
[07:51] <Ashfire908> Where in the rc files would I put a script/command to confiure a network route?
[07:51] <bring3> karllenz, i have no idea, you will have to figure out what device is being assigned, gparted might help with that even if it won't let you format properly
[07:51] <Rat409> dkt_: dunno maybe wrong sensors config,thinks its too hot ,etc had no probs here
[07:51] <karllenz> bring3:ok i might just use my mac to format lol may be abit simpler
[07:51] <bring3> Zoem, i think you could put a big magnet next to it :D
[07:51] <vlt> grndslm: I ran `dpkg-reconfigure x...`. Now xorg.conf is "empty" again. But now X starts with a much too high resolution (1600x1***). How can I set it to fixed 1280x1024@85?
[07:51] <crdlb> Lachlan: sorry, got distracted, but no I didn't get anything
[07:51] <dkt_> Rat409: anyway to check whats sending the reboot command?
[07:52] <bring3> karllenz, lolol, its strange i always use Gparted and NTFS works fine
[07:52] <bring3> karllenz, try cfdisk real quick
[07:52] <gordonjcp> bring3: that would destroy the drive
[07:52] <UBUNTUJAY123> is myha os any good
[07:52] <Zoem> bring3, we were trying to identify a magnet big enough. car alternator would work, but it's too hot and cramped
[07:52] <dkt_> Rat409: it would reboot if i booted even to live cd... had to use alternate install cd to install ubuntu
[07:52] <Rat409> dkt_: make sure all system and boot logs are enabled,maybe dmesg if you;re fast
[07:52] <karllenz> bring3: i got a fatal error
[07:53] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, you should switch to BeOs
[07:53] <bring3> karllenz, make sure to use "sudo cfdisk"
[07:53] <gordonjcp> Zoem: don't worry about it then
[07:53] <UBUNTUJAY123> never heard of that one
[07:53] <karllenz> bring3: ok
[07:53] <bring3> gordonjcp, it could corrupt the data without actually damaging the drive. still probably not a good idea :D
[07:53] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkey to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[07:53] <dkt_> Rat409: arent the enabled by default?
[07:53] <bring3> Zoem, yeah it's probably not the best idea lol
[07:53] <gordonjcp> bring3: it's more likely to just damage the drive irreparable
[07:53] <Rat409> s.b. afaik
[07:54] <UBUNTUJAY123> whats it like zoem
[07:54] <Resistol> Right now, if I have two computers here behind a router, both chatting on AIM, how do incoming messages tell my router which PC they're going to?
[07:54] <Lachlan> crdlb: I sent the link in a notice and a private message.
[07:54] <crdlb> Lachlan: the problem is that (EE) line: (EE) intel(0): Cannot support DRI with frame buffer width > 2048.
[07:54] <bring3> gordonjcp, well maybe he can get the drive replaced under warranty, at least there would be no signs of tampering :D
[07:54] <gordonjcp> heh
[07:54] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, it's like a very well designed, bloat free, modern OS. That hasn't been supported for ~8 years because the company went under
[07:54] <karllenz> bring3: that command is only showing one of my hdd's the bootable one
[07:54] <gordonjcp> Zoem: there's Haiku
[07:54] <Lachlan> crdlb: Does that mean the driver doesn't support a horizontal resolution greater than that?
[07:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> o
[07:55] <Zoem> UBUNTUJAY123, but it's really good anyway, and is fully posix compliant so you can run the GNU tools n such
[07:55] <bring3> karllenz, i have never heard of a computer company where simply pulling the HD would invalidate the warranty, but still you will need to figure out another computer to plug it into to wipe the data
[07:55] <Zoem> gordonjcp, poetry won't help in a situation like this
[07:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> whats myah like
[07:55] <crdlb> Lachlan: the GPU itself doesn't in this case
[07:55] <Zoem> oh, nvm, laptop is being fulling refunded and return shipping paid
[07:55] <Zoem> the moral of the story is: HP sucks
[07:56] <karllenz> bring3: guess my mac will hafta do it
[07:56] <karllenz> bring3: its that or install windows uch
[07:56] <Invisionfree> Hi - I have a blank CD, I burn a Debian ISO to it, it says complete, I put it back in .. And ubuntu says its's a blank disk .. Why?
[07:56] <bring3> karllenz, use it like "sudo cfdisk /dev/eda" and you can see more info to confirm if it is the correct drive
[07:56] <vlt> Resistol: The router tracks each connection, remembers the source port (among other things) and so can tell where to route the _answer_ packets from the im server ...
[07:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> what u mean HP sucks
[07:56] <pabix> Hello, do you know about a GTK image viewer that, like kuickshow, is able to show me my images in several windows without many toolbars or frames around them?
[07:57] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkey to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[07:57] <Invisionfree> .ohmy | Zoem and UBUNTUJAY123
[07:57] <gordonjcp> Zoem: no, I meant in reference to BeOS
[07:57] <Invisionfree> !ohmy | Zoem and UBUNTUJAY123
[07:57] <Rat409> Zoem: my dv6636nr is fine in all distro's i multi-boot
[07:57] <UBUNTUJAY123> i was just asking him
[07:57] <UBUNTUJAY123> o
[07:57] <bring3> lol Invisionfree ??
[07:57] <Invisionfree> Hi - I have a blank CD, I burn a Debian ISO to it, it says complete, I put it back in .. And ubuntu says its's a blank disk .. Why?
[07:57] <amorphous> Morning!
[07:57] <gordonjcp> Invisionfree: I particularly like the way that "ohmy" is homophonic to a very very rude word in my language ;-)
[07:57] <Zoem> gordonjcp, oh, yeah. I don't actually know that much about BeOS. I tried it when it was still sold, but never stuck with it
[07:58] <UBUNTUJAY123> well iam out
[07:58] <Zoem> I just think if equipment breaks after 3 weeks, that could maybe be the manufacturers fault
[07:58] <bring3> Invisionfree, what burning software are you using? i have had varying luck
[07:58] <tyberion> hey...
[07:58] <Invisionfree> bring3: K3b.
[07:59] <Rat409> could well be,any mfr can have lemons
[07:59] <tyberion> is there any way to get rss feeds to my desktop with any widget app or sth?
[07:59] <amorphous> is there a list of boot parameters about (with their settings) to ensure a clean bootup? ie) noapic noalpic acpi=off nosplash etc... but what is a comprehensive etc?
[07:59] <Zoem> Rat409, I have never had a computer quit after 3 years, let alone 3 weeks. therefore, I am the better manufacturer :P
[07:59] <geronimo89> tyberion: gdesklets, superkaramba?
[07:59] <Zoem> btw everyone
[07:59] <Zoem> <---- girl
[07:59] <karllenz> bring3: whats the difference logical or primary? i want to use it to store  files
[07:59] <bring3> lies, there are no girls on the internet :P
[08:00] <Zoem> well, then that explains why they aren't annoyed by being called he five times in 10 minutes :)
[08:00] <Rat409> bring3: isn't that sposed to be a bots response lol
[08:00] <bring3> karllenz, hrm i think you want primary, whatever is the default
[08:00] <karllenz> bring3: ok
[08:00] <amorphous> Zoem - whats to say you just dont have clients that use them more than once a year?
[08:00] <Resistol> thanks vlt, so what you're saying is that PC1 and PC2 are both connected to somesite.com, and the router labels each connection differently somehow?  I keep seeing the words "NAT" and "Socket" but googling "socket" keeps leading me to programming guides
[08:00] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys, lately Verve has kept a constant blinking cursor, how do i make it stop doing that?
[08:00] <Invisionfree> Hi - I have a blank CD, I burn a Debian ISO to it, it says complete, I put it back in .. And ubuntu says its's a blank disk .. Why?
[08:00] <rakib> hi i am getting a problem when copy some text and then paste it any where like in chat, any text editor etc
[08:00] <bring3> Rat409, sorry were you fooled into thinking im human??
[08:01] <Zoem> amorphous, I only have one clients, and I have personally monitered all of their usage
[08:01] <vlt> Resistol: You'd rather look for NAT here than socket.
[08:01] <gordonjcp> Zoem: what make is the laptop, anyway?
[08:01] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: try on another computer, maybe it didn't burn properly
[08:01] <tyberion> geronimo89: ok, which one has better support?
[08:01] <Zoem> gordonjcp, HP something or other. not my laptop, but I know it's new and expensive
[08:01] <bring3> Invisionfree, im checking to see what other cd-r prog to recommend, can you try with another .ISO file? does burning regular files work ok?
[08:01] <karllenz> bring3 that did it
[08:02] <Invisionfree> WhoNeedszzz: I only have this one .. And I've burned it a few different times
[08:02] <gordonjcp> Zoem: ah well there you go, HP haven't done anything decent since the HP45
[08:02] <amorphous> that becuase you're your client?
[08:02] <bring3> karllenz, woohoo! no idea what caused the problem with gparted, but im glad it worked eventually :)
[08:02] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: what did you use to burn the iso?
[08:02] <rakib> it pastes a text like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/16790/
[08:02] <amorphous> gordon not 1945...?
[08:02] <Zoem> gordonjcp, that's what I was trying to say, but people where getting offended. HP calculators still rock, btw, but the polish notation ones where best
[08:02] <Invisionfree> WhoNeedszzz: K3b
[08:02] <karllenz> bring3: thank u very much
[08:02] <Zoem> amorphous, quite so :D
[08:02] <rakib> can any one help me regarding this problem
[08:02] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: hmm that's what I use, there shouldn't be a problem
[08:02] <amorphous> Hehehe...
[08:03] <bring3> karllenz, sure np :)
[08:03] <gordonjcp> Zoem: if you're from the UK and older than your late 20s, you may remember a great little home computer called the Jupiter Ace
[08:03] <vlt> Resistol: The most obvious thing that's different when two PCs behind a NAT router connect to cnn.com's HTTP port 80, for ex., is the source port they use. And even if they use the same, the router maps one of them to another ...
[08:03] <bring3> Invisionfree, give Brasero a try?
[08:03] <amorphous> Right - boot parameters - who's got a decent list of usefull ones?
[08:03] <Zoem> gordonjcp, I never met one, but I've heard of it
[08:03] <drate> i'm sorry rakib, what was the problem?
[08:03] <gordonjcp> Zoem: among a sea of BASIC-running things, it had Forth
[08:03] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: try booting it, maybe ubuntu is just being weird
[08:03] <gordonjcp> Zoem: I had one but the case crumbled (!)
[08:03] <Zoem> gordonjcp, that would explain the reputation
[08:04] <rakib> the problem is that whenever i paste a text it shows garbage text
[08:04] <gordonjcp> Zoem: wonderful machines, crap build quality
[08:04] <drate> Oh, that would be a problem.
[08:04] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: though I have to ask, why do u want to use Debian?
[08:04] <rakib> drate: the problem is that whenever i paste a text it shows garbage text
[08:04] <drate> What are you copying from?
[08:04] <gordonjcp> Zoem: however they're simple enough to actually build replicas out of common parts
[08:04] <Invisionfree> WhoNeedszzz: Ubuntu is starting to suck for me honestly ;(
[08:05] <Resistol> vlt thank you!
[08:05] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: In what way? For one I would recommend Xubuntu
[08:05] <bring3> Invisionfree, stick with it :)
[08:05] <Zoem> gordonjcp, if I were going to build a replica out of common parts, it would be a lisp machine circa 1984
[08:05] <rakib> drate:  i am copying from texteditor, chat, etc
[08:05] <drate> rakib: when you coppy from anything?
[08:05] <gordonjcp> Zoem: geek
[08:05] <Resistol> i was actually having trouble sleeping with that bothering me hah
[08:05] <Zoem> gordonjcp, lol, I have been in this channel for over an hour now
[08:05] <drate> rakib: is this a new install of ubuntu?
[08:05] <vlt> Hello. xserver starts with a much too high resolution (1600x1***). How can I set it to fixed 1280x1024@85?
[08:05] <gordonjcp> Zoem: should probably take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:05] <bring3> Invisionfree, can you burn regular files (not .ISO) onto CD using k3b?
[08:05] <Invisionfree> bring3: IMHO, it's getting worse .. I've been a user since Edgy
[08:05] <Invisionfree> bring3: No idea, trying Brasero
[08:05] <rakib> drate: i am using ubuntu 7.10
[08:06] <WhoNeedszzz> vlt: What gfx card?
[08:06] <Resistol> I'm thinking of setting up file and print sharing, as well as trying out making an ftp server and hosting a website using Hardy on this PC
[08:06] <Rat409> Invisionfree: did you checksum the downloaded .iso
[08:06] <bring3> Invisionfree, if this is worse, Ubuntu used to be awesome since it's pretty great now :D
[08:06] <drate> rakib: I am not an expert, but my first guess is a language/font problem.
[08:06] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: What version are you using? Because Hardy rox my sox :D
[08:06] <drate> rakib: do you have a non-english localization?
[08:07] <rakib> drate: nope
[08:07] <Invisionfree> Hardy set my sox on fire :x
[08:07] <bring3> Invisionfree, i had to try a couple CD-R progs but one of them worked just fine eventually, which is ok with me since they were all free, whereas in Windows i get to but several software packages before finding out they dont work :(
[08:07] <rakib> drate: i am using english only
[08:07] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: So in what way(s) is it sucking?
[08:07] <drate> rakib: is it a fresh installation?
[08:07] <bring3> Invisionfree, so you have warm feet, sounds good to me :D
[08:07] <drate> rakib: I mean... have you had Ubuntu 7.10 for a while?
[08:07] <vlt> WhoNeedszzz: `lspci` says "nVidia GeForce 6100". `lsmod` lists an "nvidia" module.
[08:08] <rakib> drate: no i am using for more than 3 months
[08:08] <rakib> it was not a problem before
[08:08] <WhoNeedszzz> vlt: Install the nvidia binary from nvidia.com. It comes with a great utility
[08:08] <grndslm> vlt:  like i said, i'd rather not use dpkg-reconfigure.... just edit the modelines to look like the xorg.conf i showed you
[08:08] <drate> rakib: andd this problem just started?
[08:08] <grndslm> vlt: also, make sure you " aptitude install nvidia-glx-new " instead of just the older nvidia-glx
[08:08] <WhoNeedszzz> bring3: Windows is better known as WinBLOWS
[08:08] <rakib> drate: yes suddenly started and can not figure out where is the problem
[08:09] <drate> rakib: the only thing I can imagine is if you installed something or updated something recently that threw it off.
[08:09] <Kaemon12433> what a night
[08:09] <Kaemon12433> anywho
[08:09] <WhoNeedszzz> bring3: If only linux could get running Windows games right
[08:09] <vlt> grndslm: "nvidia-glx-new" is already installed.
[08:09] <drate> rakib: this is defintely one for the ubuntuforums.org folks
[08:09] <bring3> WhoNeedszzz, hey at least 2000 and XP are a bit better than Win95 ;)
[08:09] <Invisionfree> bring3: I tried Brasero .. My burning window seems to have disappeared..
[08:09] <bring3> WhoNeedszzz, yeah that is a pain, i hear Wine is pretty easy to use though
[08:10] <rakib> drate:  ok thanks, then i will go for it
[08:10] <WhoNeedszzz> bring3: Yeah but Vista is not that bad
[08:10] <hccmb> linux is all over the place on the ultra mobile laptops...what will the future bring?
[08:10] <Kaemon12433> it's 12:03 a.m over here and i still cant figure out why some programs i installed..i cant find them after i install them
[08:10] <drate> rakib: i have more experience in wireless and networing issues.  But it dounds like something probably just needs to be reconfigured or some such
[08:10] <bring3> Invisionfree, hrm that is not good, try restarting it i guess
[08:10] <WhoNeedszzz> Has anyone gotten wine to run high performance games?
[08:10] <Kaemon12433> hey all the help admins awake?!
[08:10] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkey to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:10] <Invisionfree> bring3: I did, it says ongoing burning process
[08:10] <WhoNeedszzz> Such as CoD4?
[08:10] <grndslm> vlt:  then use the pastebin i sent you as an example of what your modelines should really look like... i've never seen an xorg.conf with refresh rate, the @85 part, afterward
[08:10] <drate> rakib: possible directions could include xserver, fonts, localization modules
[08:11] <hccmb> wine and warcraft frozen throne runs here
[08:11] <drate> rakib: or something I am completely clueless of :)
[08:11] <bring3> WhoNeedszzz, vista has nice features but it wont run decently on older systems
[08:11] <WhoNeedszzz> hccmb: good to here but I'm talking more like CoD4, FEAR, etc
[08:11] <Kaemon12433> no admins help admins are in here.....
[08:11] <bring3> Invisionfree, check to see if the process is still running, i guess kill it if it is
[08:11] <WhoNeedszzz> bring3: Indeed, that is the only problem. But luckily I have a fancy pants custom computer :)
[08:12] <rakib> drate: now worries. I will try to get it working :)
[08:12] <Kaemon12433> can someone help me?
[08:12] <rakib> *drate: no*
[08:12] <hccmb> enemy territory quake wars native linux install
[08:12] <Kaemon12433> yo can someone help me?
[08:12] <drate> cool bean,s i'm bouncin out for a min yal
[08:12] <grndslm> WhoNeedszzz:  most people here don't like to emulate as it's really just a bad idea... linux folks like to run native linux apps, while winblows folks would rather run native winblows apps, like CoD4
[08:12] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: just ask your question
[08:12] <bring3> WhoNeedszzz, http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+COD4
[08:12] <WhoNeedszzz> Kaemon12433: what is your problem?
[08:12] <Invisionfree> bring3: Apparently not
[08:12] <Kaemon12433> thank god someone notices me
[08:13] <Kaemon12433> ok here the prob
[08:13] <Kaemon12433> I dont have any virtual desktops..
[08:13] <Kaemon12433> they just
[08:13] <Kaemon12433> dissapeared...
[08:13] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: (you just ask here)
[08:13] <grndslm> !enter | Kaemon12433
[08:13] <vlt> grndslm: I can't resolve pastebin.ca currently. (wt*?)
[08:13] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: right-click your gnome applet and add them again
[08:13] <Kaemon12433> hmm
[08:13] <bring3> Invisionfree, hrm, you might want to reboot the computer if Brasero is not starting properly, i hate to suggest this but you can try some of the other cd-r programs as well
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> sryi'm just new to linux.........
[08:14] <PEZ> i just installed ushare how do i make it start when linux starts up?
[08:14] <grndslm> vlt:  try one more time... http://pastebin.ca/1038467
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> i know
[08:14] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: you're running ubuntu, right?
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> click on setting manager and then
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> Yes
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> wait
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> kindof
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> it's an off set version
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> its xubuntu
[08:14] <FloodBot3> Kaemon12433: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:14] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: don't flood the channel please
[08:14] <Kaemon12433> syrt
[08:15] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: xubuntu should just handle it as gnome. try to rightclick the little thing in the taskbar, showing the desktops
[08:15] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: You should be able to add these desktops again there
[08:15] <Kaemon12433> k
[08:15] <grndslm> Kaemon12433:  PLEASE type out complete sentences, thoughts, & questions with relevant info for us to help you... this isn't instant messaging
[08:15] <Kaemon12433> ok dude i'm only 14..still got alot to learn in life
[08:15] <vlt> grndslm: Hmmm, I think I have to care for that resolving issue first :(   bind9 on Debian. From two separate networks! From a third one it works. ...
[08:16] <Invisionfree> bring3: ps aux | grep -i brasero returns nothing, anything els I can try?
[08:16] <geronimo89> Kaemon12433: we're patient :) relax, don't be nervous
[08:16] <Kaemon12433> ok
[08:16] <grndslm> Kaemon12433:  understood, but just take the advice & say ok... this channel moves quickly and it helps you and us both out if you listen
[08:16] <Truc> Help, i get "Error 15: File not found" when i try to boot. I installed ubuntu using wubi then i put in a new hard drive and had to move my boot.ini file. maybe grub is not looking in the right place? how do i fix it
[08:16] <PEZ> how would i make a program run on startup?
[08:16] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:16] <Flannel> PEZ: which startup?  boot? or login?
[08:17] <Rat409> Invisionfree: sudo killall brasero
[08:17] <grndslm> vlt:  you ever heard of opendns??  that's what i use
[08:17] <geronimo89> PEZ: runlevels, desktop environments provide these options too, even window managers, what do you want/use?
[08:17] <Invisionfree> Rat409: No process killed.
[08:17] <PEZ> i guess login. I just installed ushare and i want it to run when linux starts up that way i don't have to start it every time
[08:17] <grndslm> vlt:  once ever few weeks i'll have to refresh their servers cache for them by going to their support page.... it's pretty nice
[08:17] <Flannel> !startup | PEZ
[08:17] <bring3> Invisionfree, nope sorrey that is beyond me, try rebooting and running Brasero again, or installing one of the other cd burning progs, also you should try making a regular data cd (not ISO) using k3b
[08:18] <Rat409> Invisionfree: try top or htop look for zombies maybe
[08:18] <Invisionfree> I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/root/.gnome2/brasero.session"
[08:19] <Invisionfree> When I try as root .. Why?
[08:19] <PEZ> ok it has to start in a mode for example ushare -x (for xbox)
[08:19] <bring3> Invisionfree, root doesn't have .gnome2 settings?
[08:19] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:19] <Invisionfree> bring3: Idk
[08:20] <Truc> help? i get error 15. i'm at grub> prompt right now, what do i type to fix it?
[08:20] <bring3> Invisionfree, you shouldn't have to run it as root, so probably that should be avoided
[08:20] <Truc> i think my hard drive order has changed
[08:20] <Frogzoo> !grub | Truc
[08:21] <moj0rising> OK, guys and gals. Just thought I'd update ya with my solution. I think I fixed my weird hal issue
[08:21] <moj0rising> I removed all those video driver packages, like I said, moved xorg.conf...
[08:22] <moj0rising> ...and saw on that posting I pasted here someone restarted dbus
[08:22] <drate> Truc: that'd do it :)
[08:22] <moj0rising> in the end, restarting dbus did it, but I'm not sure if that's only becuase I removed all my video stuff and reinstalled it first.
[08:22] <drate> moj0rising: i like that, weird hal
[08:22] <Truc> can i fix it from the grub> prompt somehow?
[08:23] <moj0rising> using the DVD as a repository helped so I could remove and re-install everything a million times without downloading.
[08:23] <moj0rising> drate: haha.
[08:23] <drate> Truc: probably, how did your hard drive order change?
[08:23] <moj0rising> it is weird. :)
[08:23] <drate> indeed
[08:23] <Truc> i inserted a new drive and put vista on it
[08:23] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:23] <drate> AHHHHHHHH
[08:23] <moj0rising> So I've got some quirks to work out but I think it'll be all right. Yay!
[08:23] <Rat409> Truc: root (hdx,y) then setup (hd0) for first physical hdd /mbr
[08:24] <Invisionfree> (brasero:7415): BraseroBurn-DEBUG: At burn.c:2270: Session error : the drive can't be locked (ongoing burning process)
[08:24] <Invisionfree> bring3: ^
[08:24] <drate> Truc: you've been cursed for using m/s
[08:24] <bring3> Invisionfree, have you tried rebooting?
[08:24] <Truc> coool, i fixed it!
[08:24] <drate> Truc: you can probably get to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file from a liveCD and...
[08:24] <Invisionfree> no bring3, I'm doing several other things ..
[08:25] <Truc> changed (hd1,0) to (hd2,0)
[08:25] <drate> Truc: oh, awesome oppossum
[08:25] <moj0rising> hey. does anyone here know if these chat's are logged to the web somewhere?
[08:25] <Flannel> !logs | moj0rising
[08:25] <bring3> Invisionfree, sorry i don't know what else to suggest, maybe you see if k3b is still running
[08:25] <moj0rising> coolio. Thanks, ubottu
[08:25] <Invisionfree> bring3: Nope.
[08:25] <omnz0r> Hi, do any of you guys know a good chm reader for GTK? I want something other than xchm please :)
[08:26] <Guest41025> how can i monitor the bandwidth usage inside a lan  in real time ?
[08:27] <drate> Guest41025: Good question.  Wish I knew. :-D
[08:27] <Invisionfree> Can grep find anything? Because I lost my watch this morning :(
[08:27] <Rat409> apt-cache search bandwidth
[08:27] <Kartagis> how do i downgrade gcc?
[08:27] <Flannel> Kartagis: to what?
[08:27] <bring3> omnz0r, how about CHM Viewer? search in Applications -> Add/Remove
[08:27] <Kartagis> Flannel: 4.1
[08:28] <moj0rising> Gonna get ready for bed. Good night, everyone.
[08:28] <Flannel> Kartagis: 4.1 is in the repos, install gcc-4.1
[08:28] <tyberion> Is anyone here familiar with gdesklets?
[08:28] <drate> Guest41025: look into bwm-ng and iftop
[08:29] <Guest41025> there is ntop but i don't see traffic based on local ips
[08:29] <drate> Guest41025: That was just what I noticed with some initial googling
[08:29] <bring3> Guest41025, maybe try wireshark?
[08:29] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:29] <Kartagis> Flannel: right now i have 4.2.3 and i want to downgrade it. i already did apt-get install gcc-4.1
[08:29] <drate> Google and Wikipedia are the source of all human knowledge you know. :)
[08:29] <omnz0r> bring3: do you happen to know the package name?
[08:30] <Guest41025> i don't want to analyze every web page and every thing it happens
[08:30] <Guest41025> only to see a short summary
[08:30] <Guest41025> ip x - current bandwidth 10kB
[08:30] <Guest41025> something like bwm
[08:30] <bring3> omnz0r, gnochm i think
[08:31] <omnz0r> great, thanks bring3
[08:31] <bring3> Guest41025, maybe etherape?
[08:31] <Flannel> Kartagis: then you have it.  You... hmm, I don't know what the proper method for changing the symlink.  what does gcc point to right now?
[08:31] <WhoNeedszzz> vlt: did u install the binary?
[08:31] <bring3> omnz0r, hope that works, looks like a popular alternative to xchm
[08:31] <Kartagis> Flannel: how do i see that?
[08:32] <bring3> Guest41025, there is also ksniffer
[08:32] <Flannel> Kartagis: ls -al /usr/bin/gcc
[08:32] <huy> how do you open an nautilus window?
[08:32] <vlt> WhoNeedszzz: Not yet.
[08:32] <Flannel> Kartagis: it'll say /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-[version]
[08:32] <Truc> where can i read up on how all those boot loaders work? i got grub and the vista boot manager and also boot.ini somewhere and three hard drives and really don't know what's going on
[08:33] <geronimo89> How can I, in 8.04 assign hotkeys to switch to desktop 3 and 4 directly? In the Keyboard Shortcuts window, there is only an option for 1 and 2. I have 4 desktops enabled.
[08:33] <WhoNeedszzz> vlt: what are you waiting on?
[08:33] <omnz0r> well, it requires alot of gnome-* stuff, which I don't use ... and I would like to not install it :) If was hoping for a viewer just using GTK2 libs, but I can't find any in the repos, så maybe I'll just have to comiple chmsee or something
[08:33] <Flannel> !repeat | geronimo89
[08:33] <Guest41025> bring3 :  etherape looks promising ; i hope i can see good data from the command line ; thank u
[08:34] <vlt> WhoNeedszzz: (To get my DNS issues fixed ;)
[08:34] <WhoNeedszzz> vlt: ah ok
[08:34] <sortudo_78> hello, please where do i start, to install broadcom BCM4310, on ubuntu 8.4 ?
[08:35] <bring3> omnz0r, well gnome is awesome, what can i say :D there is also kchmviewer or fbreader possibly
[08:35] <omnz0r> fbreader for fluxbox?
[08:35] <bring3> Guest41025, cool hope that works, just searched Applications -> Add/Remove for "traffic" and looked at popular packages ;)
[08:36] <bring3> omnz0r, idk, check out http://www.fbreader.org/
[08:36] <Flannel> Kartagis: Alright.  You don't actually change that symlink,since that'll break stuff that depends on it (since everything for your system is using gcc-4.3 or whatever is default).  What you do is either give yourself compiler options to set CC (CC=gcc-4.1) and/or create ~/bin/gcc symlinks and add ~/bin to your path.
[08:36] <Guest41025> bring3 well .. i don't rellay use ubuntu - i need it for a debian server :)
[08:36] <bring3> omnz0r, oh hey there is also a chmsee program, that says it uses gtk
[08:36] <sortudo_78> BCM4310 wireless network card  :(
[08:37] <omnz0r> yeah, I think I'll go with that bring3, thank you for your help :)
[08:37] <bring3> Guest41025, hehe that's okay, nobody is perfect :)
[08:37] <bring3> omnz0r, sure hope it helps, usually i find there is some good way to open most any format in linux :)
[08:37] <geronimo89> How can I access the compiz control panel?
[08:38] <Invisionfree> bring3: I am.
[08:38] <Jangari> every time i boot, i have to disable networking and then re-enable it before any networking works. Any clue as to what's going on?
[08:38] <Guest41025> bring3 : darn it needs gtk
[08:38] <Invisionfree> Guest41025: What do you need?
[08:38] <bring3> !compiz
[08:39] <bring3> geronimo89, i think it's System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects

[08:42] <Invisionfree> Guest41025: ntop?
[08:42] <bring3> each of those should include the actual command imho, like: "/join #ubuntu-it"
[08:42] <sortudo_78> please! someone could give a way to start installing BCM4310 Wireless drivers ?
[08:42] <Guest41025> Invisionfree : in don't see traffic for each local ip

[08:45] <bring3> Invisionfree, im using X-chat :D
[08:45] <Invisionfree> KVirc here :
[08:45] <sortudo_78> bring3 the ubuntu says that: thare are not proprietary drivers installed
[08:45] <sortudo_78> :(
[08:46] <bring3> Invisionfree, there are several types of browser-based irc chats using java or javascript, dunno if there is one on the Ubuntu website though
[08:46] <Truc> how do i find out which hard drive grub sits on?
[08:46] <Alan_M> Invisionfree, try mibbit http://www.mibbit.com
[08:47] <Invisionfree> Alan_M: .. Read the convo first kthx.
[08:47] <bring3> sortudo_78, go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[08:48] <bring3> sortudo_78, on the Ubuntu tab, add a check mark to Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted) if it is not already checked
[08:48] <FreezeHeat> I need to run VMware on ubuntu can you help me please?
[08:48] <renegade444> ﻿﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some issues with my Webcam. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but I seem to be having some pallette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/d27abd842  So, my question really is: Does anyone have an Idea how to fix the pallette well enough to actually use my webcam? It would really 
[08:49] <afief_> is there a way to set the niceness of a process *before* starting it? (for example I am attempting to encode something with ffmpeg, I want it to start with a certain niceness)
[08:49] <Alan_M> invisionfree, please watch it, i was skimming so i had SOMEWHAT of an idea what was going on, any case, im a volunteer, we all are, give me at least a little sympathy? :)
[08:49] <Flannel> afief_: nice [command]
[08:49] <Invisionfree> Alan_M: Hax my computer and kill brasero and sure :)
[08:50] <sortudo_78> i am sory bring3, but i can not find whre to enable proprietaru drivers on ubuntu, no correponding icon on >System>Administration :(

[08:50] <afief_> Flames, thanks
[08:50] <Guillem> Since I've upgraded something (evolution itself?) evolution asks for "default"  keyring to be unlocked instead of using the login keyring... Can i fix this???
[08:50] <guarini> somebody could help me with openssl ?
[08:50] <FreezeHeat> I need to run VMware on ubuntu can you help me please?
[08:50] <guarini> openssl,please ?
[08:51] <Alan_M> guarini, openssl is vague, what are you having trouble with, concerning openssl?
[08:51] <guarini> i cant reinstall it properly.
[08:52] <dot> I have geforce fx 5200 graphicscard. what drivers should I have for ubuntu 8.04
[08:52] <Alan_M> guarini, errors?
[08:52] <bring3> dot, i dont know, but envyng should figure that out for you if you want to try that
[08:52] <bring3> !envy
[08:52] <guarini> just cant reinstall openssl and some libs.
[08:52] <tonewhy> dot, i had problems with that card on my laptop
[08:52] <Dillizar> dot: did ya had that graficcard when you were installing the ubuntu
[08:53] <tonewhy> dot, now i changed to 7.10 and it works fine
[08:53] <sortudo_78> bring3: should i install from aptget a restricted drivers manager ?
[08:53] <dot> Dillizar: yea
[08:53] <dot> I have had this for a time now
[08:53] <Alan_M> guarini, im not sure what to tell you, unless I see errors I dont know how to go about helping :/
[08:53] <bring3> sortudo_78, i think so, if your hardware is not functioning properly
[08:53] <dot> should I do this: # sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new
[08:53] <dot> # sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:53] <dot> Section "Device" Identifier      "Configured Video Device" Driver          "nvidia"
[08:53] <dot> EndSection
[08:53] <FloodBot3> dot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:54] <CrypTom> hi all, a friend of mine booted the hardy live cd, created an USB stick installation und booted from there, gdm shows up, but after login only the background image shows up (no icons, menubars, etc.)
[08:54] <dot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16798/ <-- should I do this?
[08:54] <bring3> dot, if your card is working well now maybe don't touch it, but otherwise i think that is the best way to get better performance
[08:54] <Dillizar> Well I dont think you need extra drivers cuz the Ubuntu recognized your card when it was installing
[08:55] <Dillizar> dot:
[08:55] <guarini> i had uninstalled openssl and when i reinstall it just cant do it.i want that it happens just in my distro,or its a linux behavior.
[08:55] <CrypTom> login in the console is possible, i can start nautilus from the console using: nautilus --display=:0 and it shows up in the gnome session
[08:55] <sortudo_78> bring3: do you know the namo of the pakages for ( proprietary drivers manager) if it exists  ?
[08:55] <dot> well restricted device manager said I had the drivers (latest cards)
[08:55] <guarini> and i cant reinstall others libs and softwares.
[08:56] <Alan_M> guarini, the only thing i know to tell you and i know im gonna get smacked for saying this probably, is re-install ubuntu over itself.
[08:56] <Alan_M> make sure you back up your stuff before you do this though, guarini
[08:56] <ssam> is irc.gnome.org down?
[08:56] <bring3> sortudo_78, search in Synaptic Package Manager for restricted in the name. i don't think you need to download them manually though
[08:57] <Alan_M> unless someone else here has alternate ideas.
[08:57] <Dillizar> so if had it you have them dot
[08:57] <bring3> dot, that should be accurate as well, are you having problems with your video card?
[08:58] <dot> bring3: well I don't know it yet
[08:58] <dot> I should try run fallout 2
[08:58] <dot> and tell if it works or not
[08:58] <bring3> Alan_M, id probably say it is better to uninstall openssl again, clean out downloaded packages, then reboot and install and hope it works :D
[08:59] <FreezeHeat> I Can't reinstall VMware even after using the guide from the general help forum... it says it's using the last TAR installer version used, and it's failed everytime... ANY HELP?
[08:59] <bring3> dot, yeah try something that uses 3d accell, there are free games available for download, look in Applications -> Add/Remove, they are good to use for testing
[08:59] <CrypTom> I don't get a desktop after login (ubuntu hardy), only the background image is shown. Any ideas?
[09:00] <blame> how come apt-get omits certain updates and leaves them to be updated via gui Update Manager?
[09:00] <dot> bring3: silly question: can I test the fallout 2?
[09:00] <dot> does it use 3d accell
[09:00] <Dillizar> dot: or administration-> hardware testing :P
[09:00] <FreezeHeat> CrypTom did you resize your screen?
[09:00] <dot> Dillizar: nice thanks!
[09:01] <Dillizar> lol
[09:01] <CrypTom> FreezeHeat: no, I can start gnome-panel from the console with: gnome-panel --display=:0 and it shows up
[09:02] <CrypTom> FreezeHeat: seems like the login process is not entirely finished
[09:02] <mzuverink> what is the method to make the usplash screen a higher resolution, it is huge and looks horrible, I am running a geforce 8 series card, 512 vid ram?
[09:03] <Dillizar> dot: btw how you know that you have porblems with your graphic card
[09:03] <dot> Dillizar: because it doesn't show the big whte NVIDIA screen
[09:03] <dot> on reboot
[09:04] <dot> be right back i have to reboot
[09:06] <sortudo_78> Please! how do i install IRC client on ubuntu 8.4?
[09:06] <Varak> apt-get install konversation

[09:09] <Truc> i want the latest version. is there an easy way to update it
[09:09] <naadde> ok so fallout 2 works, I can walk in it and talk in it... So does my drivers match my graphic card?
[09:09] <Piet44> hi my ubuntu 6.06.1 crashes every day at the same time and i cant find anything in the logs, i tested disks and memory but no errors
[09:10] <naadde> Piet44: time to update?
[09:10] <drash> Truc: check your repositories (in Synaptic is one way) and activate "hardy-proposed", that should give you the rc1
[09:10] <dot> ok so fallout 2 works, I can walk in it and talk in it... So does my drivers match my graphic card?
[09:10] <bring3> dot, it sounds like it, if its working ok then that is proof enough :)
[09:11] <dot> bring3: but a game called regnum online still buggs
[09:11] <Piet44> naadde: and if i dont want to update ?
[09:11] <dot> but it bugged also on older ubuntus
[09:11] <dot> Piet44: well I don't know
[09:11] <Piet44> why should i update? i didnt installed any new software
[09:11] <Truc> drash: activate hardy-proposed? how do i do that
[09:11] <Manacim> i updated
[09:12] <dot> bring3: thanks!
[09:12] <bring3> Truc, to do this go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources (updates tab)
[09:12] <bring3> :)
[09:13] <hegma> moin
[09:14] <beli> hey all
[09:14] <drash> truc: once you're in there via the menu item bring3 gave you, it's under the 'updates' tab
[09:14] <Buyydee> Hello. While installing a new network printer, my CUPS server got shut down. In the printing section of 'administration' it wants to connect to /var/run/cups/cups.sock and http://localhost:631/ stays without response. How can I restart my CUPS server?
[09:14] <Truc> drash: thanks, already upgrading it
[09:14] <drash> :)
[09:14] <Frogzoo> Buyydee: sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[09:15] <beli> i've got an external usb drive....i stored data on it yesterday via this notebook and using ubuntu linux....today....the drive isnt recognized anymore....lsusb shows now device....any ideas?
[09:15] <Buyydee> Frogzoo: merci
[09:15] <Jockeo> In what network and channel can I chat about statistical software such as Octave?
[09:15] <Manacim> beli: try sudo mount -a
[09:15] <Ademan> Everyone in the channel!:  what one command line task would you like there to be a GUI for, for which one doesn't already exist?
[09:15] <Buyydee> Frogzoo: thanks, that worked!
[09:15] <Frogzoo> Ademan: no idea tbh
[09:15] <Jockeo> Ademan: mounting all kinds of image files.
[09:16] <krabador> hey people, i've hardy with ati 8.493.1. after 2.6.24.17 and 2.6.24.18 headers upgrade, i've a blank screen after login and splash screen, i can use only 2.6.24.16. what can i do?
[09:16] <mzuverink> dot, if you want the nvidia logo remove the ref to "no logo" in xorg.config or whateverit is called
[09:16] <Truc> kinda surprising how it updated my firefox while i had it running. well, a nice surprise compared to windows
[09:16] <Ademan> Jockeo: hrm, thanks, i'll look into it
[09:16] <beli> Manacim: an external usb device is not listed in fstab in common....but ok, i'll try
[09:16] <blame> how come apt-get omits certain updates and leaves them to be updated via gui Update Manager?
[09:16] <Ademan> Frogzoo: really? nothing? lol
[09:16] <Ademan> i guess i should probably take this question to #ubuntu-offtopic too
[09:17] <Jangari> update-grub didn't change the menu.lst entry from 24-17 to 24-18. Can I just change it manually?
[09:17] <Ademan> i need a project for the night...
[09:17] <Frogzoo> Jangari: I doubt that's true
[09:18] <Frogzoo> Jangari: where did 24.18 come from?
[09:18] <sortudo_78> Please help me! i am trying to enalble proprietary drivers but i cant find any aneble button, there is any CLI command line to do that?
[09:18] <Jangari> from the upgrade manager,
[09:18] <beli> let me tell you that another external usb drive works perfectly...lsusb shows that it is attached to usb.....i switched wires already...no chance
[09:19] <Jangari> maybe i should ls /boot/ to be sure
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Jangari: usually new kernels get added to menu.lst without any problems
[09:19] <Jangari> well, not this morning
[09:20] <Jangari> though it may have been because i had to leave the house, and ran shutdown -P 90 to give it enough time to download updates and install
[09:20] <Jangari> i don't like leaving my machine on all day
[09:21] <drash> sortudo_78: try "gksu -D /usr/share/applications/jockey-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/jockey-gtk"
[09:21] <beli> oh there are kernel updates...maybe theres a fix for that mass storage problem...lemme see
[09:22] <Jangari> surely if I just manually change all lines in menu.lst from -17 to -18 it'll work, right?
[09:23] <drash> Jangari: yes it should
[09:23] <Jangari> on another issue, every time i boot, i have to disable netoworking and re-enable before any networking works, what's going on there?
[09:23] <beli> Jangari: make sure the kernel images are really there where you point to
[09:24] <Jangari> yes beli, i've checked /boot
[09:24] <krabador> ﻿hey people, i've hardy with ati 8.493.1. after 2.6.24.17 and 2.6.24.18 headers upgrade, i've a blank screen after login and splash screen, i can use only 2.6.24.16. what can i do?
[09:24] <beli> Jangari: isnt there an option to force reinstall? just reinstall kernel package
[09:25] <Ltp0wer> This place alive?
[09:25] <Invisionfree> No.
[09:25] <Ltp0wer> Better be with 1200 users
[09:25] <MaskedOne> I'm alive :D
[09:25] <Ltp0wer> :D
[09:26] <Ltp0wer> <3
[09:26] <Invisionfree> Actually, it can get pretty dead in here.
[09:26] <beli> MaskedOne: that's what YOU think
[09:26] <Ltp0wer> Anyway, are the WINE alternatives any good?

[09:26] <Buyydee> Hello, there I'm back again. I'm still trying to install a HP Laserjet 1200 printer over the network. I know from the other (Macintosh) computers in the office that the printer is under 'kilauea.xxxxx.ch', nothing more. Can anyone help me getting the printer installed over network?
[09:26] <MaskedOne> Ltp, I have used both and erm NO lol
[09:26] <beli> ok...booting into kernel...my probs are solved then hopefully
[09:27] <Ltp0wer> Because WINE forces me to place my favorite game in DirectX8 mode, and I didn't buy an 8800GTX so I could play it at low graphics
[09:27] <Invisionfree> ..Gl beli :)
[09:27] <MaskedOne> Crossover is ok for office stuff, Cedega works worse than Wine
[09:27] <MaskedOne> Ltp you can play in OpenGL too
[09:27] <Ltp0wer> Not source games
[09:27] <Invisionfree> Anyone here used wine and mIRC?
[09:27] <MaskedOne> I wouldnt know, I play WoW in OpenGL
[09:27] <Markk> hey guys i heard here is where i can get some help installing ubuntu?
[09:27] <Ltp0wer> You are in the right place mark
[09:28] <MaskedOne> And yeah it sucks that graphics take a dive for me on linux vs windoze too but meh I survive
[09:28] <mgp> Markk just tell to us, what would you like to do
[09:28] <MaskedOne> He wants Brains too :P
[09:28] <powertool08> any irssi users here? is it possible to search freenodes channels through irssi?
[09:28] <Invisionfree> Brainsss.....BRAINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...
[09:29] <Flannel> powertool08: /msg chanserv list #*term*
[09:29] <Invisionfree> powertool08: I'm not sure if it's possible to search at all.
[09:29] <Invisionfree> Flannel: Won't work. Damn Atheme.
[09:29] <Ltp0wer> Also, if I install Ubuntu with my 7.10 cd, will it autoupdate to the newest version, or will I have to burn another CD for it?
[09:29] <Flannel> Invisionfree: eh?
[09:29] <powertool08> Flannel: thanks
[09:29] <Invisionfree> Flannel: It returns "You are not authorized to perform this operation."
[09:29] <Markk> nice, main problem im having is i have booted my laptop via the disk, and now im on the menu where it asks me wether i want to "Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, Check CD etc" when i go to press enter on install ubuntu it doesnt do anything atall
[09:29] <MaskedOne> Ltp it will ask you to do a dist upgrade
[09:29] <Ltp0wer> Sweet, thanks
[09:30] <Flannel> Invisionfree: hmm, you're right.  How stupid
[09:30] <Invisionfree> slushpuppy\: is a SwiftIRC noob.
[09:30] <Ltp0wer> Everyone, thanks for your help!
[09:30] <MaskedOne> though a fresh install is always recommended I have never had a problem with upgrading
[09:30] <powertool08> so any other ideas?
[09:30] <Ltp0wer> I will probably just fresh install
[09:30] <MaskedOne> Wel enjoy, 8.04 is a vast improvement in my book
[09:30] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: One of many problems .. The top of my sources.list still says edgy I think :X
[09:31] <Ltp0wer> :D. thank you MaskedOne
[09:31] <sortudo_78> my device manager sad that: there is no proprietari drivers in use on the system :( Please! What should i do to install my Broadcom BCM4310 Wireless card?
[09:31] <MaskedOne> QGrubeditor
[09:31] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: "# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 6.10 _Edgy Eft_ - Release i386 (20061025)]/ edgy main restricted" :)
[09:31] <MaskedOne> lets you edit grub menu
[09:31] <Invisionfree> !ndiswrapper | sortudo_78
[09:31] <MaskedOne> Edgy? Wow a bit behind
[09:32] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: I'm running Hardy though .. I think
[09:32] <drash> Markk: could be a bad burn, at least you can rule that one out by following 'check CD'
[09:32] <MaskedOne> so what the edgy thing about?
[09:32] <Markk> let me go and check to see if that may be the case
[09:32] <drash> Markk: okay, gdluck
[09:32] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: I have no idea .. And I forgot how to check my version ..
[09:32] <fooks> does anyone here know of a good video news stream/feed?
[09:32] <MaskedOne> lemme check and ill tell you hehe
[09:33] <tyberion> anyone using gdesklets?
[09:33] <MaskedOne> Go to System->About Ubuntu
[09:33] <MaskedOne> Tell ya version a little ways down, at least on 8.04
[09:33] <zile-os> Hello there
[09:33] <PEZ> whats hardy and gutsy?
[09:33] <Markk> wouldnt even let me check cd so ima do another copy
[09:33] <krabador> ﻿hey people, i've hardy with ati 8.493.1. after 2.6.24.17 and 2.6.24.18 headers upgrade, i've a blank screen after login and splash screen, i can use only 2.6.24.16. what can i do?
[09:34] <MaskedOne> Hardy = 8.04 Gutsy = 7.10
[09:34] <PEZ> how do i find out which version i have?
[09:34] <drash> Markk: better try that yes
[09:34] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: Lol. Says Hardy ..
[09:34] <Slart> PEZ: lsb_release -a
[09:34] <MaskedOne> click on system then about ubuntu
[09:34] <MaskedOne> There ya go then Invision
[09:34] <sortudo_78> thanks very much everyone, i will follow this link
[09:35] <Invisionfree> "Release:	8.04"
[09:35] <MaskedOne> Then you have the latest
[09:35] <Invisionfree> Tell sources.list that :)
[09:35] <PEZ> i have hardy is that good?
[09:35] <Invisionfree> Yes PEZ.
[09:35] <MaskedOne> oh sources rofl, thought ya said menu.list
[09:36] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: Where is menu.list?
[09:36] <PEZ> any good themes for gnome? and how do you make the terminal transperant?
[09:36] <MaskedOne> it would be the config file that takes care of Grub Menu
[09:36] <MaskedOne> QGrubEditor does it via GUI (nice and easy)
[09:36] <drash> Invisionfree: at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:36] <MaskedOne> transparent terminal requires use of Compiz effects
[09:37] <MaskedOne> as far as i know anyway
[09:37] <MaskedOne> themes are found www.gnome-look.org
[09:37] <beli> re
[09:37] <PEZ> what are compiz effects?
[09:37] <Invisionfree> PEZ: Open terminal, right click -> Edit current profile -> Effects tab, select Transparent background
[09:38] <beli> still no functional usb mass storage for that drive :(
[09:38] <MaskedOne> follow invision, he seems to know hehe
[09:38] <MaskedOne> Compiz is the program that gives you cool graphical effects in Ubuntu
[09:38] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: When I have compiz running with glass theme, I look fking hot.
[09:38] <beli> usb 5-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110
[09:38] <MaskedOne> I love compiz :D But usualy keep it off unless Im showing it off to windows users hehe
[09:39] <beli> thats what i get on startup....
[09:39] <PEZ> cool
[09:39] <PEZ> i'll look into it
[09:39] <bcbooter> does anyone know why no other applications produce sound when Rhythm Box is OPen?
[09:39] <bcbooter> and Vise Versa
[09:39] <bring3> krabador, try hitting esc to get the boot menu, and then boot into safe mode
[09:40] <MaskedOne> PEZ just go to System->Preferences->Appearance
[09:40] <Mikko> how to download
[09:40] <bring3> bcbooter, could be sound card drivers or maybe you should try Pulse
[09:40] <Mikko> Finnish langusg
[09:40] <bring3> !pulse | bcbooter
[09:40] <MaskedOne> then click effects or whaknot and turn it on or off
[09:40] <FreezeHeat> Can someone help me with VMware?
[09:40] <MaskedOne> Freeze I'd recommend VirtualBox
[09:40] <FreezeHeat> It's better?
[09:40] <MaskedOne> Very easy compared to VMWare
[09:41] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: Want to see my sweet setup?
[09:41] <MaskedOne> I prefer it
[09:41] <MaskedOne> Sure Invision
[09:41] <Invisionfree> VMware and XP was fine for me
[09:41] <Invisionfree> Till I downloaded a virus -_-
[09:41] <FreezeHeat> Thank you Masked0ne I'm going to check it...
[09:41] <MaskedOne> I just preffered the ease of use of VitualBox, very easy setup and step by step
[09:41] <MaskedOne> Your welcome :D
[09:41] <mgp> MaskedOne vmware as well
[09:42] <FreezeHeat> btw do you really have a mask :P?
[09:42] <krabador> bring3, safe mode isn't a low resolution mode'
[09:42] <bcbooter_> anyone know why if Rhythm box is open, I cant play audio in games or Youtube etc.
[09:42] <MaskedOne> Lol no, story behind that is when I was a newbie I had so much info on here you would know right where i lived and what my full name was etc...
[09:42] <bcbooter_> also vice versa, for example cant play audio in Rhythm box is a game is open
[09:42] <MaskedOne> So now realname is N/A and this name is MaskedOne hehe
[09:42] <krabador> ﻿bring3, safe mode isn't a low resolution mode?
[09:43] <FreezeHeat> Nice story :P
[09:43] <TD> hi. does anybody know how I can type umlauts and other extended characters in gnome? i'm using dapper
[09:43] <Invisionfree> bcbooter_: I believe you can only play one thing with sound at a time .. Overlaps fail
[09:43] <MaskedOne> bcbooter, it is because of the sound server on Ubuntu
[09:43] <Invisionfree> TD: ... Are you kidding? DAPPER? THAT IS OLD.
[09:43] <Invisionfree> very, VERY old.
[09:43] <bring3> krabador, well it sounds similar to what happens with me using an ati card, and im able to boot at least to edit config
[09:43] <MaskedOne> They now have PulseAudio which is supposed to fix this but it has too many bugs to be of much use thus far
[09:44] <bcbooter_> hmmmm
[09:44] <TD> Invisionfree: blame canonical then
[09:44] <MaskedOne> try using packade manager to get AOSS (it forces programs that want OSS to use ALSA which solved some of theproblems (though not even close to all of em)
[09:44] <TD> Invisionfree: it's the LTS version
[09:44] <beli> so, noone else having problems with external mass storage devices beeing recognized?
[09:44] <Invisionfree> TD: So is Hardy Heron, the latest version..
[09:44] <Flannel> Invisionfree: There's nothing wrong with dapper.
[09:44] <MaskedOne> then when playing a game do a ALT+F2 then type in AOSS then the program name
[09:45] <TD> which apparently isn't all that stable yet :-( and besides, it's not my decision when to upgrade
[09:45] <bring3> beli, nope :D
[09:45] <TD> we're working on it ... but until then i am stuck on dapper
[09:45] <bring3> Invisionfree, yep :)
[09:45] <Invisionfree> Flannel: It's older than bring3 :)
[09:45] <MaskedOne> btw nice setup Invision
[09:45] <Invisionfree> oh! Busted!
[09:45] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne: Thanks :)
[09:45] <Invisionfree> It's e-hot :P
[09:45] <bring3> Invisionfree, the term is *mature*
[09:45] <bring3> ;D
[09:45] <MaskedOne> amazingly hard to watch anime and read/type here at once lol
[09:45] <Invisionfree> <3
[09:46] <bring3> hey did you know your servers have been down for the past few days Invisionfree? they are back up now though :)
[09:46] <hc> How do I remove Gnome completly?
[09:46] <MaskedOne> sudo apt-get remove gnome :P (dont know this is a joke so dont type it lol)
[09:47] <Flannel> hc: Are you installing anything instead?
[09:47] <MaskedOne> maybe he likes pure shell :D
[09:47] <Flannel> TD: gucharmap, it's already installed (part of u-d)... I think in accessories?
[09:47] <PowerJC> i'm having trouble booting an ubuntu machine, I updated it yesterday and now it is frozen at running local boot scripts on boot up,what can i do to fix it?
[09:47] <FreezeHeat> Someone know why TOTEM Video Player works so laggy?
[09:47] <TD> yeah but that only lets me copy/paste
[09:47] <TD> on macos i can use the option key to type a character with umlauts very easily
[09:47] <hc> Flannel: No, I just want GTK and X11 som I can run Transmission and Transmission web interface
[09:47] <TD> is there an equivalent?
[09:48] <MaskedOne> Freeze cause Totem sucks lol
[09:48] <hc> I don't need Gnome, because it's on my server
[09:48] <MaskedOne> Try VLC
[09:48] <Flannel> hc: One wonders why you installed a GUI in the first place.  Alright, What version of Ubuntu?
[09:48] <marlun> Is there a way to get the name of an application in gnome? When selecting items in the "Install multimedia codecs" the confirmation windows has the same keyboard shortcut to both Cancel and Config. I would like to report it as a bug.
[09:48] <FreezeHeat> Masked0ne you are my hero :D
[09:48] <MaskedOne> lol welcome, never been called that before :D
[09:49] <hc> Flannel: You're not the only one. But I had 8.04 on a CD, so I figured this would be quicker than downloading, burning and then installing.
[09:49] <Flannel> TD: There are, ctrl-alt-unicode, you may also just want to change your keyboard layout
[09:50] <TD> yeah, ok. i remember now. so i have to memorize the unicode values for the characters? :(
[09:50] <Flannel> hc: Desktop CD?  Since you know the alternate CD has a CLI only install.  Anyway, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde has a method of removing ubunut (and installing kubuntu), just chop the install kubuntu-desktop off from the end
[09:51] <Markk> the 2nd disk seems to do the exact same, wrote at lower speed this time, anyone know the command to boot from disk?
[09:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Does anyone in here use vmware and have sound properly working?
[09:51] <Markk> had an easier time installing ubuntu on my ps3 hehe
[09:51] <gordonjcp> Markk: depends on your BIOS
[09:51] <Dillizar> Random Fortune: We are MicroSoft. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. 	-- Attributed to B.G., Gill Bates
[09:51] <gordonjcp> Markk: you might want to check your boot order
[09:52] <MaskedOne> Dillizar, listened to a podcast and it was said in reality the GPL is more like the borg lol
[09:52] <Dillizar> lol MaskedOne
[09:52] <Markk> i mean it boots from disk, but i want to try find someway to get past that menu where it asks to install, run the operating system via disk (live) etc
[09:52] <Markk> pass*
[09:52] <hc> Flannel: Ah, great! Now I'm uninstalling a lot of packages. And yes, I am aware of the Alternate/server CD, but I already had the desktop version on a CD. If I'd picked the alternate, I would have to download it, burn it and then install it.
[09:53] <lukerohde> Hi All, anyone know how to mount a smb share in user space.  smbmount is no good because I require root privileges.   smbfuse is no good because the share is in another subnet out of netbios range.  I'm tearing my hair out.
[09:53] <Flannel> TD: Oh, you mean the modifier-key thing, yeah, that;s possible too.  System > Prefs > Keyboard > Layout Options > Compose Key position
[09:53] <MaskedOne> Jeez just noticed it's almost 4am here, oops
[09:53] <ripps> I want to test to see if my Ekiga Videophone is working, but I don't know anyone else who has an Ekiga account. Does someone want to test it out with me?
[09:54] <MaskedOne> Ripps I used to back when, sorry don't anymore :(
[09:54] <Flannel> hc: That'll only remove the gnome-specific stuff, you'll still have whatever X libs get installed (and are common to ubuntu and kubuntu).  You may want to remove everything that isn't in ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and your linux-kernel metapackage. (and ssh, I imagine)
[09:55] <Invisionfree> MaskedOne smells!
[09:55] <drunkn718> Hi. Quick question. So I have a harddrive that freezes up my badblocks command on it, so I'm going to assume it's broken. How do I find out which physical hard drive it is in my system?
[09:55] <Invisionfree> Oh
[09:55] <MaskedOne> Lol I smell eh?
[09:56] <MaskedOne> Well hope you all figure out your problems, goodnight (or morning or whatever)
[09:56] <Invisionfree> I start emerald-theme-manager and click on a theme .. but it doesn't change to that theme - Why?
[09:56] <TD> Flannel: thanks. how do I use that now I chose a compose key?
[09:56] <DjViper> how do you switch back and forth between a fullscreen terminal server client window and ubuntu?
[09:56] <Flannel> TD: compose, then ", then u
[09:56] <WhoNeedszzz> Invisionfree: so what's the problem now?
[09:56] <Ltp0wer> Soup guys
[09:56] <Flannel> DjViper: You mean your TTys?
[09:57] <lukerohde> Invisionfree - i had this trouble last night and sorted it
[09:57] <DjViper> Flames: what?
[09:57] <drash> Invisionfree: the obvious question ... is emerald running ?
[09:57] <Invisionfree> lukerohde: How?
[09:57] <DjViper> erm
[09:57] <DjViper> Flannel:
[09:57] <lukerohde> hang on
[09:57] <TD> Flannel: yay, thanks. that's exactly what I was after
[09:57] <Flannel> DjViper: "full screen terminal" meaning TTYs? or like a maximized gnome-terminal?
[09:57] <DjViper> Flannel: whats ttys?
[09:57] <Ltp0wer> is PlayOnLinux very good?
[09:57] <ripps> I want to test to see if my Ekiga Videophone is working, but I don't know anyone else who has an Ekiga account. Does someone want to test it out with me?
[09:57] <Flannel> DjViper: hit ctrl-alt-f1 (and then hit ctrl-alt-f7 to come back), is that what you mean?
[09:58] <DjViper> hmm
[09:58] <TD> DjViper: do you mean terminal server in the windows sense?
[09:58] <DjViper> TD: in the windows sense yes
[09:58] <DjViper> Flannel: no ;-)
[09:58] <TD> ah
[09:58] <TD> what program do you use to connect?
[09:59] <DjViper> TD: it's called Terminal Server Client
[09:59] <drunkn718> does anyone know how to determine which physical hard drive a device is (i.e. /dev/sdb)?
[09:59] <DjViper> comes with ubuntu
[09:59] <TD> DjViper: did you try ctrl-alt-enter?
[09:59] <Ltp0wer> Do any of you guys know if PlayOnLinux is any good
[10:00] <nantax> i just downloaded the 2.6.24.18 kernel but i answered keep menu.lst at the end of the upgrade and now its not showing at the grub boot menu. how do i add it to the menu?
[10:00] <lukerohde> I tried a bunch of random stuff but got it going - Random thing number 1: System - Advanced Desktop Effect Settings - Effects - Window Decoration - change /usr/bin/compiz-decorator to /usr/bin/emerald
[10:00] <PentarexBG> hello m8s
[10:00] <lukerohde> log out then it
[10:00] <lukerohde> sorry log out then in
[10:01] <DjViper> TD: that works, thanks
[10:01] <TD> no problem
[10:01] <TD> too bad it's not documented in the app (!)
[10:01] <nantax> how do i add the 2.6.24.18 to the grub boot menu?
[10:01] <drash> nantax: make sure the 2.6.24-18's are on /boot and manually adjust your /boot/grub/menu.list (carefully)
[10:01] <nantax> is there a safe way to do this?
[10:02] <bazhang> nantax, the latest update? should be added automatically
[10:02] <nantax> but i answered keep to the last question not sure what to select :(
[10:02] <nantax> now i have an old menu.lst
[10:02] <bazhang> nantax, then get into grub and select it
[10:02] <nantax> its not showing there
[10:03] <bazhang> oh nantax then you need to update grub
[10:03] <nantax> how do i update grub?
[10:03] <Natalisushka> Hi guys. Anyone can help me set up a direct connection (two ubuntu boxes) between two computes using a cable?
[10:03] <renegade444> ﻿﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some Webcam issues. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but seem to be having some palette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/m73a14057  So, does anyone have an Idea how to fix the palette well enough to actually use my webcam?
[10:03] <nantax> what do i type at the terminal to update grub and add the new kernel?
[10:03] <drunkn718> does anyone know how to determine which physical hard drive a device is (i.e. /dev/sdb)?
[10:05] <m0u5e> drunkn718: try sudo fdisk -l
[10:05] <lukerohde> Random thing number 2:  from the terminal /usr/bin/emerald --replace &
[10:06] <ripps> Sooo.... nobody uses Ekiga?
[10:06] <muratti> hi everyone
[10:06] <muratti> i got a new problem.. shootin'
[10:06] <lukerohde> sorry ripps I don't
[10:06] <amikrop> Which is the kernel version with which Hardy comes and uses by default (i.e. just after the CD installation)?
[10:06] <PentarexBG> bring3: are u here m8
[10:06] <lukerohde> Anyone got a solution for my user space smb mounting issue?
[10:07] <bring3> PentarexBG, whats up?
[10:07] <malkav> hi, i just update my kernel again and again lost my nvidia module. amd64 geforce 6100. i don't know where in the world to begin.
[10:08] <muratti> an celeron note book, an i386 ubuntu live cd, booting, everything is ok. but later, the desktop and the pointer appears and nothing happens but the cd driver continues working almost for hours... what could be wrong with that?
[10:08] <nucco> hi, anyone know why my compiz suddenly stopped working?
[10:08] <PentarexBG> bring3: so i think i mount my drive but how to give chown rights to make dirs in sda5
[10:08] <bring3> can you repeat it lukerohde?
[10:08] <malkav> nucco: that's an easy answer: "No"
[10:09] <bring3> PentarexBG, ok where is the partition mounted?
[10:09] <lukerohde> thanks bring3
[10:09] <PentarexBG> bring3: i think in media/sda5
[10:09] <malkav> nucco, you need to ask questions that describe the problem, giving as much detail as possible.
[10:09] <nucco> malkav: I can't say any better than that, because I've got an all-intel chipset, and everything was working fine yesterday, no new installs even
[10:09] <erUSUL> !doesntwork | nucco
[10:10] <drash> malkav: checked your /etc/X11/ directory for any backups of your former xorg.conf ? If so, rename and try that ..
[10:10] <malkav> drash, okay sure
[10:10] <Gin> I am using firefox 3 beta 5 + flash 10 beta. it seems I can have flash and my media player to use the soundcard simultaneously. any fix or work around for this?
[10:10] <nucco> drash: I did, no change. apparently, dri is no longer available according to glxinfo
[10:10] <bring3> PentarexBG, ok i think you would want to run these commands: cd /media && sudo chown -r username:username sda5
[10:11] <bring3> Gin, try AOSS package or read about PulseAudio
[10:11] <drash> nucco: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add it again, might be helpfull of you could pastebin your xorg.conf so we can take a closer look
[10:11] <bring3> !pulse | Gin
[10:11] <lukerohde> bring3.  I need to connect to a samba share over my vpn.  Connect To Server works but the share isn't mounted in the filesystem so my ide can't get to it.  smbmount requires root privileges.  smbfuse is no good because the share is out of netbios range.  What do I do?
[10:12] <noobuntu> bring3: would you be so kind and type my nick here in channel, want to test my irc settings
[10:12] <bring3> noobuntu,
[10:12] <nucco> drash: will paste my xorg.conf in a minute. no change whatsoever was made to the file until after the problem started, and I was attempting to fix it. even so, I only used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:12] <muratti> an celeron note book, an i386 ubuntu live cd, booting, everything is ok. but later, the desktop and the pointer appears and nothing happens but the cd driver continues working almost for hours... what could be wrong with that?
[10:12] <muratti> help
[10:13] <noobuntu> bring3: thx
[10:13] <malkav> before i restart X, tell me: How do I stop X and stop it from restarting so it's not running?
[10:13] <bazhang> muratti, you want to install or just use the live cd
[10:13] <drash> nucco: okay .. no rush
[10:13] <muratti> install
[10:13] <PentarexBG> bring3:
[10:13] <muratti> bazhang: i want to install it
[10:13] <bazhang> muratti, and did you try to install
[10:13] <bring3> lukerohde, hmm i dunno much about VPN, you could make a SSH tunnel and mount it like any local SMB share
[10:13] <PentarexBG> bring3: it says hristo@hristo-desktop:/media$ sudo chown -r hristo:hristo sda5
[10:13] <muratti> bazhang: yes i did
[10:13] <PentarexBG> chown: invalid option -- r
[10:13] <PentarexBG> Използвайте „chown --help“ за повече информация.
[10:13] <nucco> drash: here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/16817/
[10:13] <muratti> it's still doing the same thing
[10:13] <PentarexBG> ok sry
[10:14] <bazhang> muratti, is that a yes?
[10:14] <amikrop> Which is the kernel version with which Hardy comes and uses by default (i.e. just after the CD installation)?
[10:14] <muratti> bazhang: yes, it's a yes
[10:14] <drash> nucco: i'll take a look and report back, give me a minute ..
[10:14] <bazhang> amikrop, -16
[10:14] <malkav> I'm looking for a one-time deal so i can run the nVidia driver install, the installer doesn't allow you to have x running at the time, how do i kill X such that X doesn't start again after killing it?
[10:14] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh maybe its -R
[10:14] <|p33|> lukerohde: what kind of vpn?
[10:14] <ripps> I'm getting GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap from Compiz. I'm using the fglrx from restricted modules in Hardy-proposed. I thought this error was from the XGL days, why am I getting it?
[10:14] <nucco> drash: everything else is working, correct res, movie playback. except no dri, and thus, no compiz
[10:14] <seanw> Hello all. How can I override Wubi to ignore the fact I have just under 256MB ram?
[10:14] <bazhang> muratti, you hit the install icon and nothing happens?
[10:14] <lukerohde> bring3 & p33: not a vpn issue.  I need to mount a samba share without root privileges
[10:14] <amikrop> bazhang: 2.6.24-16?
[10:14] <PentarexBG> bring3: nothing happens
[10:15] <muratti> bazhang: no, once again please listen
[10:15] <bring3> PentarexBG, yeah use "-R"
[10:15] <muratti> an celeron note book, an i386 ubuntu live cd, booting, everything is ok. but later, the desktop and the pointer appears and nothing happens but the cd driver continues working almost for hours... what could be wrong with that?
[10:15] <MZM> anyone running ti_usb_3410_5052 usb to serial cable on 8.04?
[10:15] <bring3> PentarexBG, ok now do: ls -l
[10:15] <drunkn718> m0u5e - fdisk gave me nothing I could identify the physical drive with
[10:15] <drash> nucco: you might have mentioned your card type, nut i missed that, which one is it exactly ?
[10:15] <lukerohde> bring3: p33: I use openvpn if you are interested
[10:15] <bazhang> amikrop, aye
[10:15] <PentarexBG> bring3: and
[10:15] <nucco> drash: intel GMA 965
[10:15] <amikrop> bazhang: OK, thanks.
[10:16] <bazhang> muratti, what stage of the install are you on, or only just the desktop
[10:16] <lukerohde> malkav:  I don't know if this works with ubuntu but have you looked at changing the runlevel at start up to 3
[10:16] <drash> nucco: k thanks, looking at your xorg.conf ..
[10:16] <bring3> PentarexBG, Places -> Connect to Server?
[10:16] <PentarexBG> bring3: in the console i am seeing only >
[10:16] <|p33|> lukerohde: what are you trying to do, use your smb server as a pdc`
[10:17] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh it is probably processing, is the drive large?
[10:17] <JackWinter> i just set up a virtual desktop with webcams of places around the world which i love.  at the moment i have them in several konqueror windows, but was wondering if there was a better application for the purpose, especially one where i could set the update frequence, since many cams stop streaming the jpeg after a while
[10:17] <PentarexBG> bring3: then
[10:17] <MZM> is /sys somehow protected from user modifications in 8.04?
[10:17] <lukerohde> pp3:  nah, i've just got a windows share on a windows box that I want to connect to
[10:17] <PentarexBG> bring3: 210 gb i think
[10:17] <lukerohde> I need to mount it in the filesystem
[10:17] <Checkdanews> Hey I am having a real big problem in ubuntu 8.04 desktop, can somebody offer me some help
[10:17] <bring3> err lukerohde, Places -> Connect to Server?
[10:18] <muratti> bazhang: i insert the cd, press the power button on the computer, then i press the buttons to make it start by cd
[10:18] <bring3> PentarexBG, oh yeah its just processing, probably should have included -v to show status
[10:18] <DiploCat> nucco, your xorg.conf looks fairly.... empty. perhaps backing it up then running "Xorg -configure" to write a new one
[10:18] <|p33|> lukerohde: use fstab if it is a permanent mount
[10:18] <bring3> lukerohde, why can't you get root access?
[10:18] <bazhang> muratti, you need to md5 sum the iso and integrity check the disk then
[10:18] <PentarexBG> bring3: what to write ls -| -v
[10:18] <muratti> bazhang: then choose install ubuntu, then it begins, everything is ok,
[10:18] <bring3> PentarexBG, wait until it finishes processing first
[10:18] <lukerohde> Connect ot server work - I get a link on my desktop but is there somewhere I can get to it in the filesystem.  how would I ls the directory from the terminal for instance
[10:18] <Checkdanews> Basically, I restarted my computer earlyer, and then my hard drive was giving me some error, then i restarted again a few times, and ubuntu wouldnt boot, so i booted in recovery mode, and now ubuntu is working, im using it now, but it boots in like text mode, and takes much longer then it used to, and goes very slow until about a few minutes after i put my name and password in
[10:18] <PentarexBG> but nothing happens
[10:19] <muratti> bazhang: i did the integrity check, it's done, there were no problems on cd
[10:19] <bazhang> !md5 | muratti
[10:19] <lukerohde> I need it for my girlfriend
[10:19] <|p33|> lukerohde: fstab
[10:19] <PentarexBG> bring3: hristo@hristo-desktop:/media$ ls -|
[10:19] <PentarexBG> >
[10:19] <seanw> Ah fixerised thanks.
[10:19] <PentarexBG> thats what i am seeing
[10:19] <muratti> !md5
[10:19] <bazhang> muratti, md5 the iso and if that matches then re-burn at a slower rate
[10:19] <nucco> DiploCat: I believe that's the point of erm, the new xserver in hardy right? autoconfiguration on the fly?. If you think its ok, I could run Xorg -configure anyway
[10:19] <bring3> ah lukerohde, give this a try: sudo apt-get install pyneighborhood
[10:19] <lukerohde> fstab doesn't work - vpn connect not present at boot
[10:20] <bring3> PentarexBG, stop typing commands, wait for it to finish :)
[10:20] <DiploCat> nucco, ahh... disregard, haven't played with erm
[10:20] <PentarexBG> bring3: i'll do :)
[10:20] <|p33|> lukerohde: then make it present or create a start script
[10:20] <muratti> i just burned it as an iso file in ubuntu (another computer), and the writing speed was slow enough (about max 10x)
[10:21] <muratti> bazhang: i just burned it as an iso file in ubuntu (another computer), and the writing speed was slow enough (about max 10x)
[10:21] <bring3> PentarexBG, that should let you mount the SMB shares directly into the filesystem, and it has a nice interface :)
[10:21] <drunkn718> if you run badblocks on an entire drive (i.e. /dev/sda) and the system freezes, that means the drive is broken right?
[10:21] <Vegombrei> how do i dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:21] <bazhang> muratti, best to check the md5 sum (you need to read the actual link) and then that can be eliminated as an error source
[10:21] <bring3> drunkn718, well it could be the controller card....
[10:21] <drunkn718> hm
[10:22] <PentarexBG> bring3: what will make my filesystem more nice :D
[10:22] <bring3> drunkn718, are other drives working ok?
[10:22] <PentarexBG> bring3: ls -| ?
[10:22] <drunkn718> yeah, I have 4 500gb hard drives
[10:22] <bring3> oh sorry PentarexBG, meant to type lukerohde
[10:22] <drunkn718> and I ran badblocks on all of them all day today
[10:22] <drunkn718> sdb froze badblocks
[10:22] <drunkn718> the others ran all the way through, reporting 0 bad blocks
[10:22] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4781625&postcount=14 nantax also man update-grub
[10:22] <muratti> bazhang: well i would like to see that but i even just can't find how to open a private window with this chat program (xchat)
[10:22] <drash> nucco: i replied at your pastebin with things you might already know ... There's al link attached for more info on how to enable DRI, gdluck
[10:22] <nantax> how do i add the grub entry for the new kernel? i mistakenly kept the old grub menu now the new kernel is not present at the grub boot menu
[10:23] <bazhang> muratti, right click the link (open in browser)
[10:23] <nucco> drash: will check. thanks.
[10:23] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:23] <bring3> lukerohde, this should let you mount the SMB shares directly into the filesystem, and it has a nice interface: sudo apt-get install pyneighborhood
[10:23] <PentarexBG> bring3: and nothing happens yet just ">"
[10:23] <muratti> bazhang: ok, doing it
[10:23] <PentarexBG> bring3:  BRB
[10:24] <Checkdanews> My Ubuntu 8.04 wouldn't boot after a restart, so i booted in recovery mode, and after that I booted in regular mode, and it fixed ubuntu, and it boots now, and the desktop itself runs fine, but when I boot ubuntu now, it doesn't show the regular ubuntu load screen, it shows all text, of everything it boots like Nvidia drivers then it says [OK], and the only other problem is that it goes very slow, then it loads the graphics, and brings me to my log-in scr
[10:24] <nucco> drash: doesn't seem to be anything new when I refresh http://paste.ubuntu.com/16817/
[10:24] <drash> nucco: sorry, it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/16820/
[10:24] <bring3> drunkn718, yeah well its probably something about the drive then, idk if it can be fixed though
[10:24] <smaila> why cant i apt-get bitchx  in hardy ?
[10:24] <bazhang> Checkdanews, did you fiddle with the grub menu? ie removing quiet/splash
[10:24] <Checkdanews> and ubuntu has never gave me a problem tell now
[10:24] <drunkn718> yeah probably npt = \
[10:24] <drunkn718> not*
[10:25] <Checkdanews> No, i didn't mess with anything, I just restarted because I thought my computer needed a break
[10:25] <Dillizar> aloha
[10:25] <muratti> bazhang: what will it do to help?
[10:25] <bazhang> muratti, md5 the iso? it will make sure the iso is not corrupt
[10:25] <Checkdanews> and then i selected ubuntu to boot, and my computer froze up, and it wouldnt boot ubuntu anymore, so i tried booting in recovery mode, and that fixed it, but just does the boot problems I told you about
[10:25] <drunkn718> does anyone here have experience with lvm, I have a question about recovery
[10:26] <deadangel> hallo, anybody experience with toshiba notebooks?
[10:26] <bring3> smaila, censorship :D
[10:26] <Checkdanews> I honestly don't know what the grub menu is, lol Im somewhat a noob, went cold turkey from windows about 2 months ago, and havn't looked back, this is the first problem I have had
[10:26] <muratti> bazhang: may i make you sure that the iso is not corrupt, i checked it by myself and this is the 4th cd i wrote??
[10:26] <Checkdanews> I just want my normal booting ubuntu back
[10:26] <bazhang> smaila, check irssi if you want a cli irc client
[10:27] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:27] <muratti> bazhang: i mean "i'm sure" this is not the reason of the problem
[10:27] <bazhang> muratti, you did check the iso via md5?
[10:27] <Kartagis> did i tell you that i love how ubuntu completes the word after sudo, even its switches
[10:27] <Checkdanews> Ubuntu is the holy grail of PC OS's
[10:28] <muratti> no, i need to restart
[10:28] <bring3> Checkdanews, there are GUI editors for Grub menu, kgrubeditor and qgrubeditor, i dont know if they will solve your problem though
[10:28] <Checkdanews> I found it one day, and it litterally was like everything I liked from windows, and everything I liked from OS-X, plus things I never imagined, i will never go back to windows
[10:28] <bazhang> Checkdanews, nice to hear but chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:28] <Checkdanews> hmmmm, ill google those apps, and see if I can find anything that has to do with my problem
[10:28] <nantax> how do i add the grub entry for the new kernel? i mistakenly kept the old grub menu now the new kernel is not present at the grub boot menu
[10:29] <Checkdanews> thank you bring3
[10:29] <drunkn718> anyone familiar with LVM?
[10:29] <PentarexBG> bring3: nothing happens
[10:29] <MZM> is /sys somehow protected from user modifications in 8.04?
[10:29] <bazhang> nantax, rename the old list then run update-grub it will generate a new one
[10:29] <nantax> bazhang, okay, will do
[10:29] <bring3> Checkdanews, you can install them easily if you want to poke around, use: sudo apt-get install qgrubeditor &&  sudo apt-get install kgrubeditor
[10:30] <erUSUL> MZM: yes i spect so for a kernel generated at runtime filesystem
[10:30] <bring3> PentarexBG, what do you mean, the screen still has not changed?
[10:30] <MadHag> I was trying to customize my start up yesterday and no body seemed to know here about a little program called 'startup-manager' check it out its in synaptic and well cool :)
[10:30] <PentarexBG> bring3: yeap
[10:30] <Checkdanews> alright cool, is there anything like the "system restore" feature in windows xp, for ubuntu, that I could just restore the default file system of ubuntu?
[10:30] <bring3> !backup
[10:31] <MZM> erUSUL: I need to echo 2> into one /sys%p file. I can do that on Gentoo box and device starts to work but not in Ubuntu (device doesn't work)
[10:31] <nucco> drash: I added the modules entry and the dri bit too... I just gotta wait till I can safely restart X. if it works, then I can only say its odd that it worked in the past without those entries.
[10:31] <bazhang> Checkdanews, just install with a seperate /home partition
[10:31] <nantax> bazhang, thanks :) will try to reboot now
[10:31] <erUSUL> MZM: different kernels different bugs/behavior ??
[10:32] <Checkdanews> hmm alright guys, well ima check all this stuff out, thank you very much, I need to get to bed soon, so I am gonna go, but thank you alot
[10:32] <drash> nucco: it should, the new Xorg in 8.04 has improved a lot in that sense, i just don't know intel cards well enough to judge
[10:32] <MZM> erUSUL: sucks. I was working in 7.10 just fine
[10:32] <Kartagis> darrend: are you here and do you remember my problem?
[10:32] <MZM> s/I/It/
[10:32] <erUSUL> MZM: make a bug report.
[10:33] <erUSUL> !bugs | MZM
[10:33] <MZM> erUSUL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/236247
[10:33] <Checkdanews> You guyz make a already over achieving PC OS "ubuntu" so much better by just taking your time to help new users, you don't see this much with windows users, once again I thank you all alot. goodnight, and good day
[10:33] <MZM> still endusers need net to access their internet bank account NOW :(
[10:33] <MadHag> btw, thanks for Hardy Heron, nice release, installed fine and sees all my hardware, thanks
[10:34] <Kartagis> mine too mine too,
[10:34] <__max> hi, I tried to resize my ext3 partition with parted. I removes the journal feature but parted still says theres an incompatible feature enabled
[10:34] <erUSUL> MZM: well if yu add your voice to the chorus maybe it gets confirmed status
[10:35] <__max> Filesystem features:      has_journal resize_inode filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file
[10:35] <MZM> erUSUL: it's mine bug :P
[10:35] <drunkn718> anyone familiar with LVM?
[10:35] <erUSUL> MZM: ouch!
[10:35] <powertool08> does anyone know if 11.6 volts on a 12v rail is underpowered enough for a x1600 to show absolutely no video?
[10:35] <MadHag> __max,  use sysrescue and come at it from outside ubuntu
[10:36] <MZM> erUSUL: I should been listening to ppl who where saying that 8.04 is not yet usable. Damn'
[10:36] <MZM> powertool08: no.
[10:36] <bazhang> powertool08, #hardware might know
[10:36] <MadHag> __max, http://www.sysresccd.org is a great tool
[10:36] <powertool08> thanks
[10:37] <__max> ok
[10:37] <lukerohde> bring3: will do
[10:37] <__max> but I already tried knoppix and ubuntu livecd
[10:37] <__max> all say incompatible feature
[10:37] <__max> I'm guessing its "resize_inode"
[10:37] <macsim`work> hi, openoffice base 2.4 doens't support ldap anymore ? not yet implemented ? something special to install ? thanks
[10:37] <__max> but I'm not sure if I can safly remove this
[10:38] <bring3> powertool08, it is possible, though it seems unlikely to me
[10:38] <Frost13> hi everyone
[10:38] <powertool08> bring3: if not lack of power what could cause it?
[10:38] <bring3> hello Frost13
[10:38] <Frost13> how can I install Leopard X theme on gnome or kde?
[10:38] <Frost13> I have ubuntu 8.04
[10:39] <bazhang> !themes | Frost13
[10:39] <Frost13> thank you!
[10:39] <bring3> powertool08, broken or malfunctioning video card, motherboard, monitor, or cpu.
[10:40] <powertool08> bring3: the fan spins so its getting at least some power, there's no onboard video to conflict, tried it in multiple computers with same result
[10:40] <drunkn718> anyone have experience with LVM?
[10:40] <MadHag> is there a usplash theme site anywhere?
[10:40] <Vegombrei> how do i do a dcc file transfer thru irssi
[10:40] <bring3> powertool08, if it doesn't work in multiple computers, sounds like a bad video card
[10:40] <MadHag> !usplash
[10:40] <MZM> drunkn718: it's ubuntu here, what do You expect?
[10:40] <drunkn718> well :P
[10:41] <erUSUL> Vegombrei: /help dcc
[10:41] <blivori> Hi
[10:41] <bazhang> !lvm
[10:41] <powertool08> bring3: hmmm, well thanks for your input :)
[10:41] <drunkn718> so I'm curious as to how recovery works for an LVM VG  or LV that has one of it's physical discs damaged
[10:41] <blivori> I've just installed windows,how do I add it to grub?
[10:41] <MadHag> !windows
[10:41] <drunkn718> there seems to be little documentation on exactly how to recover from this time of thing
[10:41] <bazhang> !grub | blivori
[10:42] <erUSUL> blivori: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add it there (there is an example in the comments of the file)
[10:42] <blivori> ubottu: thanks <3
[10:42] <bring3> powertool08, do all the computers work ok with similar video cards?
[10:42] <drunkn718> i.e. I have several drives in a LV, and then one dies. is there a way to recover the the other drives data; perhaps just shrink the lv to exclude the damaged drive?
[10:42] <blivori> erUSUL: <3 you too
[10:42] <MadHag> bazhang, you can jazz up grub and the boot sequence with a tool called startup manager, its in the repos
[10:42] <blivori> erUSUL: how do I make Kubuntu autologin?
[10:42] <bring3> drunkn718, idk but i think you have to have set up some kind of parity already
[10:42] <bring3> !raid
[10:42] <erUSUL> blivori: dunno
[10:43] <MadHag> !kubuntu @ blivori
[10:43] <bring3> !kubuntu | blivori
[10:43] <MadHag> lol
[10:43] <drunkn718> yeah, I could go the raid route and guarantee single disc failure. just wondering if lvm offer any sort of protection from a damaged disc = \
[10:43] <brocebeats> i am trying to enable emerald by default
[10:44] <koshari> anyone familiar with reconstuctor?
[10:44] <brocebeats> i added emerald to my compiz thing is that the correct way to do it
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> holla
[10:44] <koshari> brocebeats you need compix installed to use emerald
[10:44] <bring3> drunkn718, maybe, but i think you still would have had to have set it up already :( maybe that is something you can configure now?
[10:45] <drunkn718> oh I'm just curious for setting this up now
[10:45] <drash> brocebeats: try running "emerald --replace &" from a terminal, tried that ?
[10:45] <bazhang> !uck | koshari look at this
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> oh man not more compiz stuff
[10:45] <drunkn718> basically I had 4 500gb drives, now 3 with the failure. I'm really hurting for hd space so I was wondering if I could do LVM and get 1.5gb and have some sort of protection
[10:45] <bazhang> ubottu lag
[10:46] <drunkn718> raid5 with 3 discs would give me only 1TB :(
[10:46] <brocebeats> i did try that
[10:46] <brocebeats> but when i restart my session drash it goes back to gtk theme manager
[10:46] <drash> brocebeats: yes, you should add that command to a script and autostart it to make it stick
[10:47] <bazhang> brocebeats, put it in startup session then
[10:47] <bring3> drunkn718, yeah that sounds about right, you might look into other options like ZFS or Hadoop, but they are probably much more of a hassle to configure
[10:47] <brocebeats> true i didnt know if was better to use the window decoration thing instead of a session
[10:47] <drunkn718> yeah definitely, argh damn broken hard drives! :P
[10:48] <MadHag> btw dont put awn in the startup session, it looks horrible when it starts
[10:48] <MadHag> big white panel
[10:48] <drash> brocebeats: you need both, the window decoration thing is inside compiz as a fallback option i believe, in itself it does nothing
[10:48] <brocebeats> ok
[10:48] <lukerohde> bring3 - pyneighborhood - no cigar.  I heard some rumour that gvfs has optional mounting.  Does anyone know anything about this?
[10:49] <brocebeats> thanks drash i got it all set up now
[10:49] <drash> yw
[10:49] <lukerohde> bring3 pyneighborhood can't connect???
[10:49] <bring3> drunkn718, there might be some way to ignore the badblocks and use the rest of the drive, but i guess thats what the badblocks program is supposed to do D: is the drive still under warrenty?
[10:49] <bring3> lukerohde, hrm make sure to enter the same info you usually use to connect to the SMB
[10:50] <drunkn718> it probably is but the people I work with probably threw the receipt away, theres no way this drive is more than 1-2 years old, and don't most drives come with 3 or even 5 year warranties?
[10:50] <bring3> lukerohde, you need to first add the machine, then browse it as user and enter username/pass, then finally mount the share :)
[10:51] <bring3> drunkn718, it depends on manufacturer, you know the brand? the nice thing about drives is that they can usually tell if it is still under warranty or not just from the serial number, you might want to go ahead and pull the drive, then visit the manufacturer site and fill out the warranty claim info
[10:51] <Ienorand> !seen joshual
[10:51] <drunkn718> interesting...thanks for the tip! I'm going to check right now :)
[10:52] <bazhang> !seen | Ienorand
[10:53] <bring3> drunkn718,  some companies like seagate have 5yrs, others are 3 yrs, some are 1 yrs, so i just hope it is still covered =)
[10:53] <renegade444> ﻿﻿Hi. I'm trying to ditch M$ WMM for my YouTube video making, but I'm having some Webcam issues. I d/l'd the driver source, got it compiled and the module loaded ok, but seem to be having some palette issues with the driver. Anyway, here's a pastebin of where I'm at: http://pastebin.com/m73a14057  So, does anyone have an Idea how to fix the palette well enough to actually use my webcam?
[10:53] <lukerohde> bring3 It's pretty straight forward.  I set my mount directory to my home directory, specified my username and password.  It says failed to mount, even for local shares
[10:54] <drunkn718> bring3 I think I may be in luck! It's a WD drive and I just checked the site and it's under some "In Limited Warranty" status
[10:54] <Vegombrei> i have an issue moving thru my directories in the shell prompt .. is there a doccument with all the shell commands ?
[10:55] <bring3> lukerhde, you actually want to create an empty directory like /home/user/mysmbmount not use your base /home/user directory :)
[10:55] <nantax> bazhang, thanks, everything working now. i broke nvidia but i think i was able to fix it too
[10:55] <bazhang> nantax, good to hear :)
[10:55] <KenSentMe> I'm using arecord to record phone calls i make with Ekiga. The sound volume in Ekiga is ok, but the recorded output is barely hearable. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
[10:55] <bring3> drunkn718, nice! there is a chance... try to find their online form to submit a warranty claim and try to fill out as much info as you know :)
[10:55] <drash> vegombrei: you could try "man <name of your shell>"
[10:55] <dolphin> vegombrei:  mv folder /a/b/c/ well put "folder" after directory c
[10:56] <dolphin> or man mv
[10:56] <lukerohde> bring3 ok
[10:56] <daveg> hello (don't worry, this is a test message)
[10:57] <lukerohde> thanks bring3 - I gotta go, I'll try that next
[10:57] <bring3> lukerohde, hopefully pyN will set it up automatically, so you don't have to mess with the Mounts tab, just Add Machine, Scan as User, then right click the share and Mount as User -> SMB
[10:58] <bring3> ok lukerohde good luck, there are a few other similar options to pyN as well
[10:58] <Vegombrei> drash: how do i know the name of my shell ? how many types are there and which is the best ?
[10:58] <bring3> daveg, hello (don't worry, this is a test response)
[10:58] <dumnut> hi, when we save our passwords etc into a file, and when we go to another version of ubuntu, which password file is it that we save for the new version?
[10:58] <bazhang> Vegombrei, man bash
[10:58] <deplanear> bring3: thanks! and now i have a non-already-taken name :P
[10:58] <drash> Vegombrei: there are plenty, but bash is a very widely used one
[10:59] <blivori> isn't there any software that configures grub automatically?
[10:59] <Vegombrei> bazhang: thank you !
[10:59] <Vegombrei> drash: thank you !
[11:00] <bring3> blivori, i think there is some grub command that performs setup (that is used in the initial install) but im not sure. you could try looking at config with kgrubeditor
[11:01] <blivori> bring3: thanks
[11:01] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to create a self-signed SSL certificate on Ubuntu these days?  (Now that the tool is gone)
[11:01] <bring3> blivori, hope it helps, i dunno much about grub config
[11:01] <bring3> !grub | blivori
[11:02] <drunkn718> bring3 I think I'm getting a replacement, this is awesome! :)
[11:02] <blivori> ubottu: no, im too lazy to do that
[11:02] <drash> Vegombrei: it is quite some reading, the shell is very powerfull (and picky about syntax) .. http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ might also be worth looking into if it's new territory, gdluck and enjoy :)
[11:02] <bring3> drunkn718, woohoo awesome! now you just have to be patient 4-8 weeks while they ship it ;)
[11:02] <drunkn718> lol yeah seriously haha
[11:02] <bazhang> http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2007/10/howto-create-self-signed-ssl.html tonyyarusso
[11:04] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: I'll try that - looks simpler than what I was reading
[11:04] <bazhang> tonyyarusso, there are several other links as well using those keywords you mentioned
[11:05] <bring3> tonyyarusso, doesn't ssh-keygen still work? the current versions should include all updates
[11:05] <Vegombrei> drash: thank you !
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: right, hence the more complicated document I was reading ;)
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> bring3: not quite the same thing?
[11:06] <bring3> tonyyarusso, ah yes i see
[11:06] <nucc1> drash: the changes don't fix my X issues :(
[11:06] <AlmondJoe291> i got a major error... and it's happened twice. I've downloaded and burned two diffrent copies of ubuntu descktop 8.04 iso and both copies do the same thing on my rig. I've tried to Live Boot, install Direct from disk and all ways ends in the same thing happing... I'll get a Long wave of error messages just listing on and on for a good solid hour before I get fed up and shut it down... I've taken a snap shot of this and posted it online for

[11:07] <drash> nucc1: hi again, does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log contain any usefull info on what might be wrong ?
[11:07] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, no idea what is causing that but maybe try the alternate install cd?
[11:08] <bazhang> AlmondJoe291, perhaps try the alternate
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> I have
[11:08] <zvacet> AlmondJoe291: did you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM and disc integrity
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> that wat teh second download
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> i md5've both copies
[11:08] <bring3> AlmondJoe291,  hrm same errors on both installs? what on earth were the errors?
[11:08] <AlmondJoe291> weird hu
[11:09] <AlmondJoe291> http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/NinjaKrow/LinuxError/error.png
[11:09] <zvacet> AlmondJoe291 : and disc integrity  check disc for errors
[11:09] <tyberion> whats best application for displaying widgets??
[11:09] <tyberion> rather, what are the choices there are?
[11:09] <nucc1> drash: weird, I found this: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) --- Does the system think it has an nvidia card?
[11:09] <obf213> hey, is wine safe to use?
[11:09] <zvacet> obf213 : yes
[11:09] <AlmondJoe291> will show just one part of the errors i get for a good solid our...
[11:10] <AlmondJoe291> I ave checked for errors in the boot menu
[11:10] <bazhang> !alternate | AlmondJoe291
[11:10] <obf213> zvacet, i need to install a progrma from a cd, can i do that with wine?
[11:10] <zvacet> obf213 :yes
[11:10] <drash> nucc1: whow, it looks like it if that showed up yes, weird .. but it might be usefull, did you specify "intel" driver in xorg.conf ?
[11:10] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, how old is your cd-rom drive?
[11:10] <bazhang> !appdb | obf213 check here
[11:10] <AlmondJoe291> hmmm like last year
[11:10] <nucc1> drash: yes I did, after I noticed the problems.
[11:11] <kate_mins> Hello i need help please , i have folder contains tgz archives , does it possible to extract all the archives at the same time ?
[11:11] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, maybe something is wrong with it, or there is a strange incompatibility, just a guess though. are the errors exactly the same using install on either disk?
[11:11] <bring3> kate_mins, i think if you select them all you can right click and do extract here
[11:12] <drash> nucc1: do you have any nvidia driver packages installed ? Not that i could explain the interference even if you might, but it's something to look into i guess
[11:12] <AlmondJoe291> i hope thats it... I got a slightly newer DVD drive...
[11:12] <kate_mins> bring3: does it possible to do the same in the terminal ?
[11:12] <bring3> kate_mins, or tar -xvf *.tgz
[11:12] <bazhang> also md5 the iso AlmondJoe291
[11:12] <bring3> kate_mins, yeah i think that will work, try on one file first to check
[11:13] <jeezyme> hi, i tried to delete my Fedora partition from XP. it deleted some grub file i guess and now i dont know how to boot back into XP! can someone help me?
[11:13] <bring3> !grub | jeezyme
[11:13] <jeezyme> thank you
[11:13] <bring3> hope that helps, might be good starting place :)
[11:13] <nucc1> drash: yes, I think I installed nvidia-glx. I was making a repository cd to give to a friend who had an nvidia card... will uninstall in a short while, synaptic is re-downloading the compiz stack
[11:14] <drash> nucc1: lspci | grep VGA gives your intel card i suppose ?
[11:14] <bring3> !changethemes | PentarexBG
[11:14] <nucc1> drash: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[11:14] <drash> nucc1: okay, good idea to remove that one
[11:14] <AlmondJoe291> I think I'll just order me a copy of both disk from one of those CD places and wait a few days to get a copy. I'll also try and change my DVD drive out with this slightly newer one...
[11:14] <vahid> #vpnc
[11:14] <drash> xorg is so smart these days it even picks up cards you don't have lol
[11:15] <vahid> vpnc: receiving packet: Connection refused
[11:15] <tyberion> is there anything similar to gdesklets existing?
[11:15] <nucc1> drash: rotflol
[11:15] <bazhang> !screenlets | tyberion  for compiz
[11:15] <tyberion> bazhang: I m just running fluxbox
[11:15] <bazhang> tyberion, or conky
[11:17] <drash> tyberion: xcompmgr should work with fluxbox
[11:17] <theFATMAN> all the 'tool-tips' are coming up blank, anybody know why? I know the kernel was upgraded last night, but wtf?
[11:17] <bring3> AlmondJoe291, if you have another computer or CD burner, it wouldn't hurt to try that, even different CD-R media, im just thinking that even if the ISO is uncorrupted on your harddrive, it might not be getting burned to CD or read from CD properly
[11:17] <Swift_Fox1> i cant see my external hard drive can someone help me find and mount it.
[11:18] <The-Compiler> Swift_Fox, open a terminal and use "sudo fdisk -l" then you should see the device file
[11:19] <Piet44> hi my ubuntu 6.06.1 crashes every day at the same time and i cant find anything in the logs, i tested disks and memory but no errors
[11:20] <Piet44> oh and my modules are not enabled at startup i can see that in logs
[11:20] <Swift_Fox1> The-Compiler: is it just the /dev/sda?
[11:21] <MadHag> when I alt tab to view and switch programs I have open the images are just white, is this an issue in Hardy?
[11:21] <drash> Piet44: hi again, just a guess, but the same timeframe every day smells like there might be a cron job responsible for your problem ..
[11:22] <jeezyme> bring3, i get this error when i try the 'Recover grub automaticallly' method: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[11:22] <bring3> Swift_Fox, maybe, can you tell which one? if not paste the whole thing into pastebin so we can see
[11:22] <bring3> !paste | Swift_Fox
[11:22] <yaroslav> What is the best way to get fullname of a file, ie ~/filename => /hime/user/filename? something like dirname plus basename
[11:23] <zetheroo> I was running the updates on my Hardy system here and I get a warning message about /etc/gnome/defaults.list and I would like if someone could help me to make the right choice here.  http://pastebin.com/d2fbea57f
[11:23] <bring3> jeezyme, hmm i dunno, you can try to look at the file like this, make sure not to save any edits unless you know what to do: sudo gedit /boot/grub/stage1
[11:25] <Swift_Fox> ok i will try to paste
[11:25] <Swift_Fox> give me 1 mine
[11:25] <jeezyme> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character coding from the menu and try again. <--tat error now!
[11:25] <bring3> zetheroo, my guess would be to say okay, but not really sure
[11:25] <zetheroo> ﻿bring3: did you see the pastebin?
[11:25] <drash> zetheroo: looking at your paste i'd go with the new one (you could make a backup of the old one first to be able to roll back if trouble occurs)
[11:26] <bring3> jeezyme, maybe that file is corrupt, see if you can find any guides on how to replace it? probably just figure out how to re-run the grub setup
[11:26] <bring3> zetheroo, yeah, and backing up your old sources.list is not a bad idea :)
[11:26] <jeezyme> okay, will see!
[11:27]  * bring3 crosses fingers
[11:27] <zetheroo> ﻿bring3 this is the defaults.list file ... btw what does this file actually control?
[11:27] <crystal> hello
[11:28] <Swift_Fox> bring3:http://paste.ubuntu.com/16841/
[11:28] <crystal> how to get multimedia extra plugins for kubuntu?
[11:28] <Swift_Fox> ubottu:http://paste.ubuntu.com/16841/
[11:29] <crystal> amarok wont play even mp3 files
[11:29] <nucco> drash: can you believe it, removing nvidia-glx plus config files fixes the problem... you think this is a bug worth filing?
[11:29] <bazhang> kubuntu-restricted-extras crystal
[11:29] <FreezeHeat> How can I add premisions for VirtualBox ?
[11:29] <zvacet> crystal : sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:29] <bazhang> crystal, also seee www.medibuntu.org
[11:29] <crystal> thanks
[11:29] <bazhang> crystal, for win32codecs
[11:30] <drash> nucco: actually i do yes, nice that you found that one
[11:30] <crystal> bazhang and zvacet , thanks
[11:30]  * nucco goes off to launchpad
[11:30] <Larson> http://phpfi.com/321902  <-- Is this caused by a broken package? Or is it just me who is daft (most probably)
[11:30] <FreezeHeat> How can I add premisions for VirtualBox ?
[11:30] <bring3> zetheroo, it looks like it includes some default desktop settings, like program associations for audio-cdda or dvd, usually its best to have the most current version
[11:30] <crystal> if all such drivers are available then why to bother one self getting mint linux, im confused really
[11:31] <Swift_Fox> bring3: what do you think?
[11:31] <bazhang> crystal, because support there is a big goose egg :)
[11:31] <drash> zetheroo: it's a mimetype list, sort of a guide to gnome to open the correct application for all the different types of files you have on your system
[11:31] <zvacet>      crysta : read this to add medibuntu to your source list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[11:32] <crystal> im downloading mint 4.0 kde too and i have kubuntu 8.04 too, but i guess i will try kubuntu
[11:32] <bring3> Swift_Fox, hmm i don't see the fdisk command in there, type this in terminal then copy what follow: sudo fdisk -l
[11:33] <crystal> zvacet: thanks i will read that too
[11:34] <zvacet> crystal: there is notrmuch to read just how to add line in source list
[11:34] <bring3> Larson, hrm i dunno that looks weird
[11:34] <Hansemann> can someone help me with a AVerTV USB MCE tv card in ubuntu?
[11:35] <bring3> Larson, what version of libglib2 does Synaptic say is installed?
[11:35] <bazhang> crystal, also need to import gpg key
[11:35] <Swift_Fox> bring3:i posted a message to you. did you get it?
[11:35] <bring3> Hansemann, what is the problem, although i only know a very little about tv cards
[11:35] <crystal> how to get gpg keys?
[11:35] <Hansemann> i cant get it to work
[11:36] <Larson> bring3: 2.16.3-1unbuntu2
[11:36] <zvacet> bazhang : it is all on link I posted
[11:36] <bazhang> crystal, the instructions are on the site
[11:36] <Hansemann> ubuntu wont recognize it
[11:36] <crystal> thanks i will check that too
[11:36] <bring3> Swift_Fox, oh yeah, can you remind me what you would like to mount? the basic command is: sudo mount <device> <mountpoint>
[11:36] <bazhang> zvacet, sorry to interrupt :)
[11:36] <Tyczek> hi, i'm using custom theme and can you tell me how to replace the ubuntu logo?
[11:36] <Larson> bring3: on kubuntu though, so that is what adept manager tells me.... but it should be the same
[11:37] <zvacet> bazhang : nothing to be sorry about
[11:38] <CorpseFeeder> ﻿I formatted my computer (running Edgy 6.10) and installed a fresh Hardy Heron. However I backed up my entire home directory before formatting... Can I just copy the entire contents of my old 6.10 home directory to the new 8.04 home directory? I created a home directory with the same username and password as the old install. Am I going to run into problems with file access permission etc.?
[11:38] <scifiguy951> anyone know how to use foxyproxy??
[11:38] <bring3> Larson, well maybe libglib2.0-dev specifically requires libglib2.0-0 and some other program requires your current version, 2.16.3-1ubuntu2? maybe it is something to ask about the libglib2.0-dev package
[11:39] <nucco> CorpseFeeder: there shouldn't be any problems
[11:39] <Mets> does anybody know how to setup openssh so I can ssh into my ubuntu virtual machine?
[11:39] <scifiguy951> ??
[11:39] <nucco> CorpseFeeder: yes, you can copy it back, and most programs will pick the previous settings up
[11:39] <Swift_Fox> bring3:trying to mount my external terabyte hard drive
[11:39] <^BiplanO^> hi all
[11:40] <nucco> Mets: I've never done that before, but if your VM is already communicating with the host via the network, then all you have to do is install openssh-server
[11:40] <Larson> bring3: is there a way to easily check that?
[11:40] <CorpseFeeder> ok cool
[11:40] <drash> Tyczek: you could try leaving the theme as it is and replacing the ubunto logo on hard disk by the one you want to use (rename the original one and give your new one the ubuntu logo name) .. dirty hack but might be easier ;)
[11:40] <Mets> nucco: I've installed openssh-server, but whenever i try to connect it just times out
[11:40] <bring3> Swift_Fox, im not sure if your drive is being detected properly, where do you see it?
[11:40] <^BiplanO^> i have a problem with swap... my computer becomes VERY slow when swapping... i can't even move mouse fluently
[11:40] <nucco> Mets: you should check the network configuration, and possibly any firewall rules.
[11:41] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: probably have a very slow HDD
[11:41] <Mets> nucco: the internet works on both of them, says the have the same ip which is weird, but it works; no firewall prevention I don't believe
[11:41] <^BiplanO^> cpu goes in IOWait when swapping
[11:41] <scifiguy951> scsi drive?? what is that?
[11:41] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: err, sorry, I actually think the problem is aggravated on hardy. I don't know why though.
[11:42] <^BiplanO^> nucco...no my hd is not very slow
[11:42] <^BiplanO^> it's a sata
[11:42] <Swift_Fox> bring3:i dont see it at all.
[11:42] <nucco> Mets: they shouldn't have the same IP.
[11:42] <Tyczek> drash, uhm, i tried to replace and i did it... /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png
[11:42] <Okys> how good have people got their ATI graphics performance?
[11:42] <Tyczek> but nothing happened ;p
[11:42] <scifiguy951> ?
[11:42] <bring3> Swift_Fox, how is it attached, USB?
[11:42] <bazhang> !ati | Okys
[11:42] <Mets> nucco: I checked a few websites that tell you your ip, and they seem to have the same
[11:42] <Okys> ubottu - cheers :)
[11:43] <scifiguy951> how do i find unmounted drives on my comp??
[11:43] <Mets> ubuntu is running as a VM via VirtualBox on windows xp
[11:43] <Swift_Fox> yes
[11:43] <Swift_Fox> bring3:yes
[11:43] <scifiguy951> ?
[11:43] <nucco> Mets: they should have different IPs in the same subnet
[11:43] <Hansemann> i get this when i run lsusb:  ID 07ca:1228 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc.
[11:43] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: one of my systems has an ATI x1600 with 512MB of system RAM, that's the one that is slow when swapping. Other systems with lower specs actually work fine. No idea what the problem is.
[11:44] <bring3> scifiguy951, one way is "sudo fdisk -l" to see a list of devices, another way is using Administration -> Partition Editor
[11:44] <nucco> Mets: you don't need to check a website. use the network configuration tool to give them different IPs
[11:44] <bring3> might only work for HDs though
[11:44] <^BiplanO^> nucco ..I have ATI too
[11:44] <bring3> Swift_Fox, look in the /media directory
[11:44] <Mets> nucco: how do I do that?
[11:44] <nucco> Mets: if for instance the host is 192.168.1.3, give the VM 192.168.1.4 if its available
[11:44] <scifiguy951> i dont see partion editor in administration????
[11:45] <^BiplanO^> nucco: it's a radeon 9600 with 128Mb.... do i have to check the agp aperture on bios?
[11:45] <drash> Tyczek: sure that's the only place you need to make the change ? perhaps there are more sizes besides 48x48 .. "locate" and "find" could be helpfull commands to try n track down any others
[11:45] <Mets> that must be the problem
[11:45] <Tyczek> drash, ok, i'll try
[11:45] <Swift_Fox> bring3: jett@jett-laptop:/media$ ls
[11:45] <Swift_Fox> cdrom  cdrom0
[11:45] <scifiguy951> can someone help me mount a secondary hdd?
[11:46] <bring3> Swift_Fox, hrm make sure the drive is powered on and connected? my USB drive shows up /media/disk
[11:46] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: I suppose that's a common denominator then.  However, I am using fglrx drivers, and I have 512MB of ram, I hardly see why you shouldn't expect your system to be slow if you're running Gnome with 128MB of ram
[11:46] <Frost13> hi again everyone
[11:46] <Frost13> where can I find Compiz in Ubuntu menu?
[11:46] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: if 128MB is your system RAM, then you should take a look at xubuntu instead
[11:46] <bring3> !compiz | Frost13
[11:46] <^BiplanO^> nucco 128 mb is the video ram .... i have 1 GB
[11:46] <Swift_Fox> bring3:do i need to edit fstab?
[11:47] <bring3> Frost13, System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[11:47] <Maxdamantus> Someone should make an Ubuntu with PekWM.
[11:47] <Maxdamantus> Pubuntu.
[11:47] <Swift_Fox> !fstab
[11:47] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: or install xfce and use that instead of GNOME. I am not referring to Video RAM here, its mostly irrelevant.
[11:47] <bazhang> !brainstorm | Maxdamantus
[11:47] <bring3> Swift_Fox, i don't think so, run "sudo fdisk -l" again see if anything else is listed, try unplugging & replugging the USB drive
[11:48] <scifiguy951> i dont see partion editor in administration????
[11:48] <^BiplanO^> nucco... I have 1Gb system ram with 2 Gb swap and we're talking about ubuntu..not vista :D
[11:48] <bazhang> scifiguy951, sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:49] <nucco> ^BiplanO^: oh, sorry, I suppose that you should file a bug report. I would imagine it's a kernel scheduling problem, but I don't know why it doesn't affect other systems without ATI cards.
[11:49] <bring3> yup, n1 bazhang :)
[11:49] <effchen> %
[11:49] <xfroggy> why are kernel being constantly added to the grub menu w/ each update?
[11:49] <JbCrash> how i can change my default language in english to tamil/?
[11:50] <Mets> nucco: how do I change the ip address on the ubuntu machine?
[11:50] <segagman> hello i need some help i google it but to no avail im tryin to us l4 to burn a light scribe but it keeps saying
[11:51] <segagman> printing requires root privileges
[11:51] <bring3> xfroggy, for me it only shows 1 previous kernal before the current ont
[11:51] <segagman> can any 1 help/
[11:51] <segagman> ?
[11:51] <Maxdamantus> segagman, run the program with sudo/gksudo, whatever.
[11:51] <xfroggy> bring3, weird, I already got 3 kernels collected *.16-18
[11:52] <nantax> xfroggy, that would amount to six including the recovery
[11:52] <bring3> xfroggy, hmm lol i have -14 and -16
[11:52] <xfroggy> yea, 6 total lol
[11:52] <nantax> -16 -17 -18 for me
[11:52] <nantax> you can remove the extra entries from the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:53] <xfroggy> shouldn't update do that? O.o?
[11:53] <peace-keeper> i have a super noob question.. if i burn the 700mb ubuntu .iso on a dvd instead of a cd, will i still be able to boot from it on an average pc ? or does it have to be a cd ?
[11:53] <nantax> and find the kernel in synaptic and remove it manually
[11:53] <xfroggy> 7.04 seemed to erase older versions
[11:53] <don-robbery> anyone know how to play DRM protected wmv files in ubuntu, i get video but no sound
[11:53] <bazhang> xfroggy, may want to keep one around though
[11:53] <segagman> so i type sudo #4L    ?
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: it's a setting in menu.lst
[11:53] <nantax> i think its for safety purposes so that if the new kernel broke, you can go back to the old one
[11:53] <bring3> peace-keeper, that depends if the average pc has a dvd drive :)
[11:53] <xfroggy> ah
[11:53] <peace-keeper> :D
[11:53] <Jalathan> peace-keeper: as long as the other computer has a DVD reader/burner, it'll work
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: and grub-update will remove older kernel version
[11:53] <peace-keeper> sweet thx
[11:53] <Slart> xfroggy: *versions
[11:54] <koshari> Mets you want a static IP address?
[11:54] <xfroggy> aha, will look into it, ty Slart :D
[11:54] <StooJ> Hi all. My GTK has disappeared, can I reinstall it or something?
[11:54] <Mets> koshari I think so yes, right now the virtual machine shares with the host
[11:54] <Timsen> hi, can I give the reboot or shutdown command an option to boot up a specific boot entry in grub?
[11:54] <bring3> !gparted | scifiguy951
[11:55] <nantax> is there a way to colorize the texts scrolling during boot? i dont use the splash and quiet option in grub
[11:55] <JbCrash> how i can change my default language in english to tamil/?
[11:55] <Maxdamantus> segagman, gksudo 4L-gui
[11:55] <koshari> Mets yes that would be correct , i would assume the ethernet port is bridged to both the host and client
[11:55] <nantax> the tutorial in the forum for colorizing the boot text does not include 8.04
[11:55] <bring3> nantax, try qgrubeditor ? that is how i know how to do it
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Timsen:  ive seen some disrtos do that.. Not sure how they do it. Not seen that feature in ubuntu. (yet)
[11:55] <drash> nantax: there's a color command in /boot/grub/menu.lst that you can activate by uncommenting i believe
[11:56] <AlmondJoe291> ok after checking the md5 hashing the both iso images, I have discovered that yes both are correct. this time I sed imgBurn to burn my inages and to verify against the iso after burn. made me 3 more coasters. but i think i know the problem, I may be burning faster tehn my media is raed for so i dropped the speed to 16x... would my burn speed effect the that? i sure it is we shall see in a second....
[11:56] <Timsen> okay dr I found also nothing in ubuntu about that, thanks for your reply
[11:56] <nantax> drash, bring3 : will check thanks
[11:56] <Mets> koshari right, how do I change it so that the VM has its own IP?
[11:56] <bazhang> AlmondJoe291, yes; burn as slow as possible
[11:56] <segagman> this sucks i cant get this lightscribe to work
[11:57] <nantax> found it in the menu.lst # Pretty colours
[11:57] <bring3> sure nantax hope it helps :)
[11:57] <don-robbery> Mets if you use NAT instead of bridge the host pc will assign a ip for you
[11:57] <nantax> going to try and reboot and see if it works
[11:57] <Swift_Fox> bring3:its like my laptop isnt reading my external. cause the light is blinking on the external when i plug it into my laptop via usb. but when i take it out the light on the external goes off
[11:57] <segagman> i dont know the right sudo   what ever...
[11:57] <drash> nantax: yep , that's the one .. but don't have too hig expectations hehe
[11:57] <Maxdamantus> segagman, the sudo password is your user password.
[11:58] <nantax> lol, will try qgrubeditor
[11:58] <Maxdamantus> It's verifying that you're you, not someone who's just got on your computer.
[11:58] <Jalathan> out of curiosity, has anyone successfully bridged a WiFi adapter to an Ethernet adaptor?
[11:58] <Swift_Fox> is there any way to keep track of people on irc like aim does with a friends list?
[11:59] <segagman> i loged in as root in the terminal and when i run the gui it still says: printing requires root privileges
[11:59] <Slart> Swift_Fox: some clients have some kind of "friend" system..
[11:59] <bring3> nantax, there is kgrubeditor too fri
[11:59] <nantax> bring3: which is better
[11:59] <Swift_Fox> slart:does xchat?
[11:59] <Maxdamantus> segagman, you need to run it from the terminal.
[11:59] <Slart> Swift_Fox: I have no idea.. I think mIRC had it when I tried 15 years ago =)
[11:59] <segagman> will that bring up the gui
[11:59] <Maxdamantus> Should do.
[11:59] <bring3> nantax, idk i think it just depends if you have KDE or QT installed, i have both so it makes no difference to me :)
[11:59] <steven3> lol
[12:00] <don-robbery> segagman  use terminal and command     'gksu app_name'  it will run  the program and root
[12:00] <nantax> i have enabled something that gives feedback when something happens to a window... like the window will dim if i press backspace once too often... where is that located?
[12:01] <bazhang> nantax, using compiz?
[12:01] <Slart> nantax: I think it's in system, preferences, sound.. second tab.. use visual sounds or something like that
[12:01] <wild_oscar> howdi - I have a bug with twinview and Enhanced zoom (compiz) - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/235768
[12:01] <drash> nantx: a compiz setting ? if so, look at the fade plugin
[12:01] <Slart> nantax: sorry.. third tab, Visual System Beep
[12:01] <effchen> :ab
[12:01] <AlmondJoe291> ok... RIGHT ON!... ImgBurn says it exactly the same as the ISO... So i guess it was my burner... Funny tis is my media is rated for 48x and my burner is a 32x if i remember correctly... Gues it faster then 48 after all...
[12:02] <bring3> Swift_Fox, after you plug the USB drive in, run "sudo fdisk -l" again and see what it says
[12:02] <Slart> nantax: might be some kind of compiz setting too
[12:02] <nantax> Slart: lol thanks, its under sound preferences setting, system beep, visual system beep, flash entire screen. i have been looking for this for hours now... lol
[12:02] <AlmondJoe291> hope this solves my issue with install...
[12:02] <wild_oscar> anyone here using compiz enhanced zoom, Hardy and twinview?
[12:02] <drash> AlmondJoe291: great, one step closer to getting it installed, goodluck
[12:02] <wild_oscar> would be glad to test if the bug is reproducible
[12:02] <Slart> nantax: obvious.. the screen flashing.. it must be in the "sound" section ;)
[12:02] <AlmondJoe291> gonna have the boot menu now verify later yall...
[12:02] <KenSentMe> I'm using arecord to record phone calls i make with Ekiga. The sound volume in Ekiga is ok, but the recorded output is barely hearable. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
[12:02] <bring3> !filesystem

[12:23] <gma> ﻿hi can anyone suggest good arcade game?
[12:23] <bring3> [newb]Miki, that is fine, just use that, that is for the newest version of Ubuntu i think (8.04)
[12:23] <Slart> gma: look through the games section in synaptic
[12:23] <dvs> yes  cp cannot stat
[12:23] <Slart> gma: or in the Add/Remove thingy
[12:23] <killerboy> it was because i knew what x86-64 is, but didn't know that intel named theyr new processors core duo and core quatro
[12:23] <dvs> multiple lines
[12:24] <FreezeHeat> How do I open .rpm files?
[12:24] <orion_ghf> hey people the recycle bin icon disappeared from my gnome panel??and when I add it again it is invisible

[12:24] <zubair> what is the command for opening TRASH?
[12:24] <FreezeHeat> install
[12:24] <killerboy> ActionParsnip: just because of it
[12:24] <dvs> !pastebin
[12:24] <Slart> FreezeHeat: either use the realplayer (it's not that horrible on linux).. or play them using smoe kind of realplayer codec
[12:24] <rconan> FreezeHeat, you need to install alien and use that
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> killerboy: are you familiar with the term "troll"
[12:24] <gma> !man
[12:24] <rconan> FreezeHeat, IIRC alien -i /path/to/rpm/file
[12:24] <Slart> FreezeHeat: oh.. sorry.. my bad.. not realmedia

[12:24] <bring3> zubair, in directory browser location- trash:///
[12:24] <Slart> !alien | FreezeHeat
[12:25] <drash> dvs: i see, did you copy/paste the line from the webpage ? there might be different chars messing up your command line .. better try to type it in yourself .. it's a big one 16 i realize, but it might do the trick
 the command is trash:///

[12:25] <Stormx2> killerboy: If you want to get unbanned politely talk to the person who banned you.
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> killerboy: were you in there saying something sucks and insulting people who disagree
[12:25] <bring3> gma, try bzflag maybe

[12:26] <zubair> orion_ghf can i open trash thru this command in the terminal?
[12:26] <killerboy> ActionParsnip: sorry, non-english speaker, what you mean?
[12:26] <Stormx2> killerboy, listen, no matter how much you whine to us, we can do nothing. Talk to the person who banned you.
[12:26] <FreezeHeat> -i /path/to/rpm/file
[12:26] <killerboy> i know, that you cannot do anything
[12:26] <dede441> hi here
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> killerboy: trolls usually say something is good or bad..Eg Vista sucks without backing it up
[12:26] <Stormx2> So why are you telling us this?
[12:26] <Myrtti> killerboy: #ubuntu-irc
[12:26] <dede441> anybody try a multi-seat system with more than 2 seat ?
[12:27] <bazhang> killerboy, you are offtopic here; please stop
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> ok deal
[12:27] <killerboy> i just think it's not good to do that, because it doesn't go well with ubuntu philosophy
[12:27] <orion_ghf> zubair no I dont think so .. but u can press Alt+F2 and write the command there and it opens
[12:27] <killerboy> ok
[12:27] <killerboy> i'll stop then
[12:27] <Stormx2> gma: Who did you intend the !game and !quake factoids for?

[12:31] <[newb]Miki> Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager, then do:  <-- its not there, there is NOTHING in that list :s
[12:31] <carrera> does Ubuntu 8.04 support fake RAID?
[12:31] <drash> dvs: there's a space missing on line 1 between "isolinux/*" and "md5... no ?

[12:32] <tetraedr> hi everyone
[12:32] <tetraedr> where do I get xmms package?
[12:32] <tetraedr> can't find it in repo
[12:32] <Lazyworm> hi, if there is a LAN with 50+ workstations, i wanna upgrade or install a package on all of them, what is the usually way to do that? :)
[12:33] <Pici> tetraedr: xmms is no longer developed.
[12:33] <Pici> tetraedr: Try audacious instead
[12:33] <Slart> carrera: it might.. but you're better off using software raid
[12:33] <dvs> that was the only difference between mine and the wobsites and i get the same errors with both
[12:33] <hulihutu> how can i know if my oracle service is working? thanks.
[12:33] <pria> kiwkiwi
[12:33] <tetraedr> Pici, audacious sux. it hangs on network radio
[12:34] <Slart> Lazyworm: don't you have some kind of common startup file?
[12:34] <drash> dvs: but that's not your only problem i'm afraid; it can't stat ANY of the files it seems ..
[12:34] <bazhang> pria, english please
[12:34] <Slart> Lazyworm: or a repository of your own..
[12:34] <carrera> thanks Slart, but I already have Fedora 8 using the BIOS RAID on my box
[12:34] <zubair_>  orion_ghf mine was too! but i restarted the system and all da icons were there on the panel! i guess u shul add a new panel and then try to add that icon!!
[12:35] <drash> dvs: i would try to backup a step or 15 and start over (not wanting to be funny)
[12:35] <orion_ghf> zubair Ill try this thanks
[12:35] <[newb]Miki> ﻿Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager, then do:  <-- its not there, there is NOTHING in that list :s  what do i need to do now? :) i'm using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[12:35] <carrera> Pici, Software Add/Remove didn't find audicious
[12:35] <Slart> carrera: dual booting with Fedora?
[12:35] <Pici> carrera: Its audacious I beleive.
[12:35] <Lazyworm> slart, hmm, nope
[12:36] <carrera> Pici, sorry, i had a typo
[12:36] <orion_ghf> zubair no :( it didnt work with me
[12:36] <pria> hihi..
[12:36] <millers> i just install the latest ubuntu server and it never asked me for a root password in the install. what would the password be?
[12:36] <pria> hey
[12:36] <carrera> Thanks Pici
[12:36] <peace-keeper> yay i got rid of the stupid linpus
[12:37] <carrera> Slart, No sir, i was a RedHad/Fedora user for years but I'm converting to Ubuntu
[12:37] <Slart> carrera: I'm just guessing but isn't fakeraid a kind of driver? search for your motherboard model in the ubuntu forums?
[12:37] <carrera> I've come to really like Ubuntu on my laptop
[12:37] <Grim76__> millers: Use sudo.  Root is not enabled by default in Ubuntu.
[12:37] <orion_ghf> thanks anyway
[12:37] <carrera> Slart, I did back when 7.10 was around and it was a pain to install
[12:38] <millers> thanks Grim76__, i just found that in the docs
[12:38] <Slart> Lazyworm: I think there is a utility that can clone what you write to a number of ssh sessions.. so write once, run everywhere kind of thingy
[12:38] <carrera> Slart, so I decided to keep Fedora on my server until Ubuntu came with support built in
[12:38] <drash> dvs: have you tried a different set of instructions to achieve the same goal ? like the one at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent ?
[12:39] <peace-keeper> what a pretty background picture in the ubuntu install
[12:39] <ne2k__> Slart: Lazyworm: what are you trying to do with this ssh thing?
[12:39] <peace-keeper> looks like a bird
[12:39] <Slart> ne2k__: install a package on 50'ish computers at once
[12:40] <Lazyworm> slart, i was thinking about a script which log all stations sequencely and do apt-get command. but i donno if it there is a better way to do that
[12:40] <drash> hi peace-keepr: yes, that's why the dubbed it the 'heron' ;)
[12:40] <ne2k__> Slart: well you could do cat LISTOFHOSTS |while read IPADDR; do ssh $IPADDR apt-get install PACKAGE; done
[12:40] <Slart> Lazyworm: that sounds like it would work
[12:41] <Slart> Lazyworm: but ne2k__'s solution looks nicer =)
[12:41] <ne2k__> Slart: and if you don't want to type all those passwords in, and they all have the same password, you can use sshpass -p "password" ssh $IPADDR apt-get install PACKAGE instead
[12:41] <ne2k__> Slart: I think Lazyworm's solution /is/ the same ;-)
[12:42] <Lazyworm> hoho, thanks alart+ne2k, i did it but just feel its not right, there must be a smart way
[12:42] <Lazyworm> smarter*
[12:42] <peace-keeper> what's an ibex ?
[12:42] <tony403> hi guys, ne one no if obuntu proceses on emachines?
[12:42] <ne2k__> Lazyworm: lol, Freudian slip ;-)
[12:42] <Slart> peace-keeper: a bird?
[12:42] <ne2k__> peace-keeper: a type of bird
[12:42] <ne2k__> !dict ibex
[12:42] <ne2k__> hmmm
[12:42] <peace-keeper> this doesn't look like a bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex
[12:42] <Rampage> Hi, just wondering everytime a kernel update is done it gives the options of 2 kernels in the grub menu so presumable its keeping both kernels.
[12:42] <bazhang> peace-keeper, something to be chatted about in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:42] <Rampage> How can I remove an older one?
[12:43] <ne2k__> ah, no, it's a goat!
[12:43] <ne2k__> silly me
[12:43] <ne2k__> that's a bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibis
[12:43] <Slart> Rampage: it's keeping more than two.. but it only shows two in the grub boot list
[12:43] <Rampage> Slart: Oh okay, so do I want to get rid of the older ones?
[12:44] <Slart> Rampage: it's not like they are huuuge.. but sure.. you can uninstall them using synaptic if you want.. just keep at least two.. in case the latest one starts acting up
[12:44] <Rampage> Okay, thanks very much Slart :-)
[12:45] <dvs> drash: i'm going to start over, if that don't work i'll use ur link
[12:45] <Slart> Rampage: you're welcome

[12:47] <blackfox-san> how to remove usb drive seftly at ubuntu 8.04?
[12:48] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: right click on the icon, "unmount"
[12:48] <drash> dvs: it's still a very recent page i noticed, no comments yet to point the OP to any typo's .. better try the other one
[12:48] <Lazyworm> ubottu, thanks, gonnoa check it out
[12:48] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: commandline umount /dev/sdb works too (assuming that sdb is your drive)
[12:48] <Slart> !info clusterssh
[12:49] <m0u5e> haha ubottu is awesome xD
[12:49] <blackfox-san> thank you : )
[12:49] <Slart> there is another one, Lazyworm .. clusterssh... although I still think the one-liner is pretty nice =)
[12:49] <m0u5e> I love ubottu. (i wonder if there is a response to this?)
[12:50] <m0u5e> blackfox-san: np
[12:50] <ne2k__> ubottu: how much unintelligence do you have, really?

[12:50] <Natalisushka> Hey anyone knows Why can't I erase some files my flash memory and get "operation not permitted" and "read-only" ? And how can I do that? Note that it's a memory of an mp3. How can I format it without breaking the it's system?
[12:51] <I_Love_Freedom> hi!
[12:51] <dvs> i think my problem is that the .iso is not mounted.  how do i mount a .iso?
[12:51] <Natalisushka> I_Love_Freedom:  HI!
[12:51] <Slart> !mountiso | dvs
[12:52] <Slart> Natalisushka: how do you erase them?
[12:52] <dvs> what would my mountpoint be?
[12:52] <I_Love_Freedom> • Natalisushka •How are you ?)
[12:53] <Slart> dvs: you will have to create one.. I use /mnt/iso
[12:53] <drash> Piet44: hmm, tough one to track down i guess without any concrete error logs .. can't say i have any helpfull other ideas (besides upgrading, but even then it's wait and see if you don't know what's causing it)
[12:53] <bing> im trying to setup wireless media sharing to my ps3, ive been trying all morning ive tried all morning using various walkthroughs and trying to build fuppes ,, can some one please give me a complete idiots guide to doing this, i can do this in windows but i trying to hold out switching back
[12:53] <ne2k__> bing: are you using samba?
[12:54] <dvs> so it's a folder path..  i could use   /home/dvs/desktop               ??
[12:54] <bing> i dont think so
[12:54] <Slart> dvs: don't use a folder already being used for something else.. it should be empty
[12:54] <I_Love_Freedom> • Natalisushka • Do you speak russian ??)
[12:54] <ne2k__> bing: so what have you tried, and what doesn't work as expected?
[12:54] <tony403> is obuntu the ting to have for free softwarez?
[12:54] <Slart> dvs: you could use /home/dvs/Desktop/myiso if you want it on your desktop
[12:55] <Slart> tony403: nah.. but Ubuntu might be what you're looking for
[12:55]  * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!)

[12:55] <Kartagis> can I use windows fonts in ubuntu? I'm guessing I can but I wanted to ask you guys
[12:55] <tony403> i have a disk but it won't down load
[12:55] <Slart> Kartagis: yes, you can use truetype fonts
[12:55] <nickmalcolm42> I got the wrong CD in the mail??? Asked for Desktop Edition of 8.04 LTS (64-bit), the packaging was right, but the actual CD says Server Edition.
[12:55] <nickmalcolm42>  I just thought if Canonical are sending out wrong CD's then they should know. So if anyone knows who to tell?
[12:56] <ne2k__> I_Love_Freedom: ya nye govoryu po russki. myenya zavoot Andryushka ;_)
[12:56] <bing> i tried to do a bulid of fuppes using the wiki site but after something installed it kept just give error messages files not found, i set up media tomb added my media to it but the ps3 wont pick it up
[12:56] <zubair_> gutentag
[12:56] <Kartagis> Slart: will they look like in windows?
[12:56] <bing> im googleing samba now to see what it is
[12:56] <Slart> nickmalcolm42: look at the main ubuntu site.. there must be a contact address somewhere
[12:56] <Natalisushka> I_Love_Freedom:  :)
[12:56] <Slart> Kartagis: afaik, yes
[12:56] <Kartagis> yay!
[12:56] <ne2k__> Kartagis: roughly
[12:56] <tony403> i herd obuntu communty was helpfull?
[12:57] <ne2k__> Kartagis: the font rendering is probably better in X than in Windows
[12:57] <Piet44> drash: thanks for help i dont want to upgrade before i know why it crashes
[12:57] <Piet44> :)
[12:57] <Slart> tony403: we try
[12:57] <Natalisushka> Slart: I erase them using terminal rm -r or using delete in nautilus
[12:57] <bing> the ps3 dosent use windows so samba wont work
[12:57] <Kartagis> one more thing. do I have to type any command after copying the font to ~/.fonts?
[12:57] <tony403> why won't the cd down load?
[12:57] <drash> Piet44: yes probably the smart thing to do to avoid further hairpulling :)
[12:57] <I_Love_Freedom> • ne2k__ • ))) Nas zovyt Alyona & Barbara &&
[12:57] <ne2k__> bing: errm? samba has nothing to do with windows
[12:57] <Slart> Natalisushka: try using "sudo rm -r" instead.. but be careful.. command line doesn't use a trash bin so once it's gone it is gone
[12:58] <ne2k__> I_Love_Freedom: right, let's stop this now ;-)
[12:58] <ne2k__> bing: samba is a smb server for unix
[12:58] <bing> i thought it was a set of tools foe sharing files with windows based computers
[12:58] <peace-keeper> what to do when "lshw" says -network DISABLED
[12:58] <Slart> Kartagis: here are a couple of update-fonts* commands.. you might try those
[12:59] <Natalisushka> Slart: I did use sudo. Still get Read only
[12:59] <bing> To make a long story short : The Samba project was started in 1992 by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is a set of tools to share files and printers with computers running Microsoft Windows. It implements the [WWW] SMB network protocol, which is the heart of Windows networking.
[12:59] <Slart> tony403: you are trying to download a cd but it doesn't work?
[12:59] <ne2k__> bing: no, it's a server for sharing files with the SMB protocol. It so happens that SMB is the protocol used by "Windows File Sharing", but... that's it
[12:59] <I_Love_Freedom> • ne2k__ • )))
[12:59] <Slart> Natalisushka: can you do a ls -l in the folder where these files are and pastebin it?
[12:59] <Slart> !pastebin | Natalisushka
[13:00] <bing> ok ill read this see if this works
[13:00] <blackfox-san> how to install install flash player?
[13:00] <Natalisushka> Slart: I know where they are. Inside .Trashes .. but they won't get erased.
[13:00] <MrMist> The keys on my numeric keypad restarts X... how do I fix this ?
[13:00] <eyemean> hi there, if i install ubuntu 8.04 within windows xp, is it still as safe as installing it on a seperate parition/
[13:01] <Natalisushka> Slart: I am not able to paste any thing now cuz the flash memory isn't available now
[13:01] <tony403> i made the disk but i reboot and it won't down load to my pc oviously cuz i take the disk out and i have no obuntu
[13:01] <Slart> Natalisushka: it might be a permission problem.. it might be that the flash drive is mounted read only..
[13:01] <Natalisushka> Slart: How can I mount it read-write?
[13:02] <Natalisushka> I plug it as usual. Sometimes I am able to add to it and delete, but only certain  files are not permitted
[13:02] <Slart> Natalisushka: depends on what filesystem it uses.. if it's fat32, ntfs, or something else
[13:02] <Natalisushka> I think it's msdos
[13:02] <Natalisushka> Slart: I think it's msdos
[13:02] <Slart> Natalisushka: usually just deleting it as root (using sudo) is enough to make it work
[13:02] <eyemean> any takers on installing ubuntu in windows?
[13:03] <tony403> blackfox-san, apt-cache search flash or use the gui interface to find it
[13:03] <ouellettesr> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:03] <ouellettesr> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[13:03] <ouellettesr> any ideas here?
[13:03] <Natalisushka> Slart: Well it's not! it's not the first time also. I also have problem deleting from ubuntu files that were sent to Trash in a previous installation on another hard disk in the computer. This is the 10 times installation and they are still there.
[13:04] <Dr_willis> eyemean,  I much perfer it installed to its own partitions
[13:04] <ggarlic> .
[13:04] <odinsbane> does anybody know what package I need to run java 6 class files?
[13:04] <Slart> Natalisushka: can you find a file you cannot delete and do a "ls -l" in the folder?
[13:04] <tony403> eyemean, yes, as far as i know it installs like a shell app
[13:04] <Natalisushka> I will but in a few minutes
[13:05] <eyemean> yeah thats what i've been doing dr-willis, but i was intrested when i saw it could be installed within windows. espcially because my friends pc dosent seem to like having ubuntu on seperate parition
[13:05] <candive> Hello to everyone.  How do I become Root to update clam & other applications.
[13:05] <ReverendUK> Hey guys, i don't suppose that wine have an IRC chan on here do they?
[13:05] <keri> i just installed Samba for my xubuntu, and used pyNeighborhood to browse shares.  on my windows xp box, i tried to drag and drop the files over to the xubuntu share setup, and it said access denied , so i tried to pull them over from xubuntu and it said Failed to mount.  what am i doing wrong. ive done this before. please help.
[13:06] <Slart> Natalisushka: you can also start nautilus as root, "gksudo nautilus" and use that window to delete the files.. but if sudo rm doesn't work I don't think the nautilus way will work either
[13:06] <Slart> ReverendUK: #winehq
[13:06] <ouellettesr>  hello, im having trouble installing the latest security updates from update manager, can anyone help me

[13:07] <ikonia> ouellettesr: has synaptic/apt crashed recently ?
[13:07] <cdc> Quick ? Can you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using only an active internet connection? I have 7.10 on my lappy and I was going to download and reinstall but if I can just upgrade that would be cool to.
[13:07] <ikonia> cdc: yes

[13:07] <drash> odisbane: does http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libbcel-java looks like the one you need ?
[13:07] <Dr_willis> eyemean,  I dont like WUBI. If you want to test out Ubuntu. I suggest trying it inside a 'virtualbox' session.

[13:10] <ikonia> ouellettesr: thats why  you can't open another one
[13:10] <ouellettesr> ikonia, i just opened it
[13:10] <eyemean> Dr_willis, its basically because i tried installing ubuntu on a friends pc, but once the process is done, i reboot and it never completes the booting process
[13:10] <ikonia> ouellettesr: so where are you getting that error then ?
[13:10] <eyemean> cheers tony403
[13:11] <keri> what is the best samba program to use for trouble free usage?
[13:11] <ikonia> keri: samba
[13:11] <keri> llol
[13:11] <keri> this samba looks different though from ubuntus
[13:11] <cdc> Slart: when I upgrade to hardy is there an option to loose all of your settings like you were reformatting freshly>?
[13:11] <ikonia> samba doesn't have a gui, what are you trying to do/want to do
[13:12] <keri> i have xubuntu and got samba downloaded and installed but it looks alot more generic
[13:12] <ikonia> looks ?
[13:12] <Slart> cdc: I don't think so.. I think it just upgrades
[13:12] <keri> it doesnt integrate with my filebrowser
[13:12] <ouellettesr> ikonia, i started the pc, it told me i had updates, so i tried to install them, then it gave that error before it installed any of them. The only time I had synaotic runnung was when i tried to install them manually which didnt work either
[13:12] <cdc> Slart: darn, thanks.
[13:12] <ouellettesr> now its telling me to reboot for some reason
[13:12] <socr> how does mutt know where to send e-mail ? I did not tell teh machine the URL of the mail servers, nor ID/PW ?
[13:13] <keri> i just installed Samba for my xubuntu, and used pyNeighborhood to browse shares.  on my windows xp box, i tried to drag and drop the files over to the xubuntu share setup, and it said access denied , so i tried to pull them over from xubuntu and it said Failed to mount.  what am i doing wrong. ive done this before. please help.

[13:13] <cdc> Slart: where can I see a list of ubottu commands?
[13:13] <Slart> socr: it might be just sending it to the local mta
[13:13] <ouellettesr> but i dont think anything has installed yet
[13:13] <ouellettesr> brb
[13:13] <ikonia> keri: well the mount problem means you ubuntu box can't mount the share it wants, the permissions error will most likley be down to file system permissions
[13:14] <ikonia> ouellettesr: probably has it if wants a reboot
[13:14] <Slart> cdc: try !factoid
[13:14] <cdc> !factoid

[13:15] <James|gnome> Hello...
[13:15] <keri> ikona i have read write enabled for everyone full control on the share that xubuntu is sharing.  all i want to do is plop in the backup file from windows xp over into that folder.  but it said access denied for no reason.
[13:15] <James|gnome> Hi zn3t
[13:15] <ikonia> keri: it's not for no reason
[13:15] <zn3t> hi
[13:15] <ikonia> keri: what username are you using to connect to the samba share ?
[13:15] <cdc> Slart: that is humorous
[13:16] <keri> ikonia i have to have one?
[13:16] <zn3t> James|gnome: join #14658760p897
[13:16] <rd__> if i minimize any application windows, the application disapear, this is happened to me this day after i made last update, any one has same problem?
[13:16] <keri> if everyone full control on the share is set  , why do i need a username anyway/?
[13:16] <ikonia> keri: yes
[13:16] <ikonia> keri: because a user needs to connect
[13:16] <James|gnome> I cant zn3t...
[13:17] <zn3t> why
[13:17] <James|gnome> It doesnt work :-P
[13:17] <keri> fahh whaaobout the fact that i dont have any thing installed to allow the ability for xubuntu to mount ntfs partitions?
[13:17] <ikonia> keri: what ???
[13:17] <keri> hence failed to mount
[13:17] <ikonia> keri: you said you where dealing with samba, not ntnfs
[13:17] <ikonia> ntfs
[13:17] <tetraedr> people I need some mp3 player with stream (authorization support required) and to be simple (no daemons, mysql databases other crap)
[13:18] <tetraedr> any ideas?
[13:18] <MrMist> the numeric keypad restarts X... I need to fix this... any ideas??
[13:18] <ikonia> tetraedr: mp3 player with authorization ?
[13:18] <keri> ikonia, it has to deal with both right?  if xubuntu is having problems saying 'fail to mount my xp shares, thats probably why?
[13:18] <ikonia> tetraedr: mp3 players are music players,
[13:18] <ikonia> keri: xp shares are handled through samba
[13:18] <tetraedr> ikonia, mp3 player that can authorize on stream server
[13:19] <ikonia> oh
[13:19] <keri> ikonia ok
[13:19] <keri> so i somehow have to figure out how to connect from winxp as a user.
[13:20] <ikonia> keri: when you mount the share on XP it takes the default username your using, or you can specifcy another user the the "connect as" gui
[13:20] <mohamed> hi guys i have a small problem in my loginscreen it looks very big but my os screen is correct
[13:20] <mohamed> how to change my login screen resolution to 1024*780
[13:20] <selocol> hello after doing a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and restarting my comp, nautilus no longer opens text files with gedit. i can't even, in properties, of the file, specify which application to open it with? any help please? thanks
[13:21] <keri> ikonia, it wont let me mount any shares though just browse them.
[13:21] <manoff> do you know any linux tool that allows me to edit Windows registry of Windows partition that is mounted into my linux?
[13:21] <cdc> keri: I connect to my Win XP/Srv2008/Srv2000 shares fine with hardy. I went to Places -> Connect to Server -> filled in the information
[13:22] <keri> ikonia, thats why i thought maybie since i dont have a way to even know how to read ntfs partitions, thats why it fails to mount any of my smb shares
[13:22] <selocol> it seems like after the upgrade, a lot of file types are not recognized as text files anymore. i get "Couldn't display $pathtofile" .. There is no app installed for this file type. is this the intended upgrade of gedit? thanks
[13:22] <ikonia> keri: nah
[13:22] <keri> cdc im running xubuntu not ubuntu so i dont have that grand feature
[13:23] <tetraedr> people I need some media player with stream support (authorization support required) and to be simple (no daemons, mysql databases other crap)
[13:23] <tetraedr> any ideas?
[13:23] <cdc> keri: gotcha, one thing I have noticed is that when i do connect sometimes it says unable to mount but i double click on the shortcut on the desktop and it actually mounts it.
[13:23] <Slart> selocol: didn't happen to me.. you updated just now?
[13:23] <AaronH> keri, you can install openssh-server on your kubuntu and use winscp on winxp to transfer files
[13:23] <BoltClock> hi, i am currently using ubuntu hardy, is there a way i could upgrade my firefox 3b5 to the release candidate without waiting for an update?
[13:23] <Slart> selocol: is gedit still installed?
[13:24] <selocol> Slart: yes it opens "config" for example but not "config~" or "red.theme"
[13:24] <selocol> Slart: all of which gedit used to open perfectly
[13:24] <keri> Thanks for all the ideas but all i want is my samba to work right.  i never had this much problems ever before.  it must be because xubuntu is so shaved down..
[13:24] <user01> how do i install broadcom netxtreme bcm5702x?
[13:24] <ZeroA4> BoltClock, i think you can manual install firefox but doing so you will break the package management
[13:24] <BoltClock> ZeroA4: yeah, thats why im having trouble
[13:24] <user01> for wireless?
[13:26] <drash> selocol: can't explain what happened, but you might be able to manually correct things in /etc/gnome/defaults.list if you know the mimetypes you want opened in gedit
[13:26] <selocol> drash: should i try reinstalling gedit?
[13:26] <Slart> selocol: take a look a drash's suggestion.. something probably got updated and overwritten
[13:27] <selocol> Slart: ok thanks
[13:27] <drash> selocol: can't guarantee that will do anything to resolve things, take a look at that list first perhaps, it's not a long one
[13:27] <ommya> is it possible  switching php5 to php4 and vice versa

[13:28] <BoltClock> hi, i am currently using ubuntu hardy, is there a way i could upgrade my firefox 3b5 to the release candidate without waiting for an update or taking it out of the package manager?
[13:28] <keri> xampp has a switch shortcut that accomplishes that
[13:28] <jrib> BoltClock: why are you avoiding the package manager?
[13:29] <TD> does anybody know how to make bash use a non space character for shell globbing?
[13:29] <^Daniel>  Is there a way to get only a part of a file on web with wget or curl?
[13:29] <ommya> keri:Cant it be done without xampp I mean with normal installation
[13:29] <AaronH> TD, /j #bash
[13:29] <BoltClock> jrib: wait, um, i think it seems i have to wait for the package manager to make ready the rc before i can upgrade. my intention is to continue using the package manager
[13:30] <ikonia> ^Daniel: ctrl+C when your doing
[13:31] <ommya> Is it possible to switch php5 with php4 ?

[13:32] <dvs> peace-keeper: what wireless card do you have?
[13:32] <aguitel> anyone use GUI Grub editor ?
[13:32] <drash> BoltClock, check your 'software sources' settings and make sure your 'updates' tab has the 'hardy-proposed' updates ticked .. from then on you should be good to go via the regular package manager update routine
[13:33] <BoltClock> drash: proposed?
[13:33] <ommya> Is there anybody who can help me ?
[13:33] <ikonia> ommya: what's up
[13:33] <peace-keeper> don't know..
[13:33] <AaronH> blackfox-san, go to "about:plugins" in the address bar  in your firefox and make sure you have flashplayer and java installed
[13:34] <blackfox-san> i aready install java and flashplayer
[13:34] <peace-keeper> how can i see what wireless card i have
[13:34] <blackfox-san> but cant play
[13:34] <BoltClock> drash: done. is this set of updates safe enough?
[13:34] <AaronH> blackfox-san, did you check "about:plugins" to make sure they installed correctly?
[13:34] <drash> BoltClock: yes, that's pre-releases, ubuntu checks there for firefox rc update, so you need that ticked
[13:34] <dvs> peace-keeper: what is ur complete computer model?
[13:34] <blackfox-san> yes
[13:34] <peace-keeper> acer extensa 5220 (very cheap)

[13:36] <Firex_> hey all

[13:36] <AaronH> peace-keeper, what is the essid of your router?
[13:36] <jrib> blackfox-san: you need flashplayer (install flashplugin-nonfree from multiverse), not shockwave
[13:36] <peace-keeper> but lshw says "network DISABLED"
[13:37] <peace-keeper> my essid is "servas"

[13:37] <Kelerion> quick question... i have just got a t2000 sparc back from storage and am playing about with it... when i got it originally i managed to put 6.06 on it... which is now obviously out of date... which version should I look at putting on it with a fresh install? I tried 8.04 last night but its giving problems... is it the officially supported version for these sparcs?
[13:38] <BoltClock> jrib: before i install, will i be able to revert?

[13:39] <peace-keeper> iwconfig wlan0 power on ---> "GET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported"
[13:39] <dvs>  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[13:39] <jrib> BoltClock: use the package from -proposed that drash told you about not what I said, just don't enable the -proposed repo permanently and upgrade only the firefox package
[13:40] <akonkwa> I have a usb drive (works perfectly with another computer on feisty) and when I plug it on this computer (8.04) nothing happens. Can anyone tell me how I can list usb devices in the terminal?

[14:01] <Aw0L> ActionParsnip, I thought about that, but I think the text would need to be changed often

[14:03] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: it is installed, via adept using virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: what if you try to apt-get the thing you are missing
[14:04] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: does the hardware drivers dialog have an unlock button?
[14:04] <sirlark> I've also checked /lib/modules/linux-2.6.24-17-generic, and vboxdrv.ko exists (I've booted into -17-generic, because adept indicates the package doesn't exists for -18-generic)
[14:04] <[newb]Miki> it has a help and a close button

[14:08] <dvs> ok, how do i list the installed kernels
[14:08] <dvs> i should really write this stuff down
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: to save you doing it again, if you backup /etc/network/interfaces you can drop it in again if you need to reinstall
[14:08] <Brady-Enterprize> was that for a printer. Because i print wireless. Just not scan over wireless
[14:08] <peace-keeper> no i had to download some tool called b43-fwcutter and extract a few files
[14:08] <peace-keeper> to do something with firmware, i don't really understand it
[14:09] <fen[a]> dvs: ls /boot/initrd*

[14:10] <peace-keeper> well that's one way of seeing it :)
[14:10] <thompa> problem here, dvd drive on tosh laptop running way too loud
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: windows kinda keeps it all top secret so the actual workings of the system are abstracted
[14:10] <[newb]Miki> FenA its an really old card
[14:10] <laeg> why does ubuntu ship with pulseaudio when alsa already has dmix?
[14:10] <frantz46> it is to use compiz
[14:11] <[newb]Miki> its an ATI radeaon 7500 mobility
[14:11] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: you definately have hardware compatible with proprietory drivers, and that dialog should provide you with the option of installing those.
[14:11] <peace-keeper> that's like "only until you cut yourself with a knife do you really know how to eat"
[14:11] <frantz46> yes
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> oh no not more compiz :(
[14:11] <fen[a]> [newb]Miki: ok, open a termninal window and prepare to get your hands dirty :)
[14:11] <peace-keeper> don't get me wrong, i'm glad it works now and i'm happy i have ubuntu instead of win on that notebook :)

[14:15] <ActionParsnip> !swscanner | Brady-Enterprize
[14:15] <drazel> Hello everyone
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Simple Wireless Scanner (SWScanner) is an application for Linux environments designed for scanning, configuring, and (in general) managing wireless networks. SWScanner is also a powerfull wardriving tool, and has a high level of compatibility with NetStumbler, a similar and well-known application designed for other operating system
[14:15] <erUSUL> laeg: it works for me quite fine (esd worked too as did dmix) (your) anecdotal evidence is not evidence at all ;)
[14:15] <drazel> I am having a problem while executing apt-get update on ubuntu6.
[14:15] <drazel> 6.10
[14:15] <drazel> edgy directories are missing
[14:15] <Soopa> hey all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu to my notebook, but the cd-rom doesn't work and I can't boot from USB on it.. any suggestions?
[14:15] <drazel> is it normal ?
[14:16] <Soopa> and I'm too much of a noob to try a network installation...
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: sounds like a really damaged lappy, you coud take the hard drive out and install in another system using an adapter, then put the drive back into the laptop and boot
[14:16] <SliMM_> i have a CD written with APT on CD, but I cannot restore the cache
[14:16] <SliMM_> why?
[14:17] <frantz46> good bye
[14:17] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: will that really work?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: absolutely, it will simply detect the new hardware
[14:17] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: okay, I might have to do that
[14:17] <Soopa> thanks
[14:18] <drash> drazel: the needed/wanted edgy repositories are in the list of your software sources ?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: np, research your lappy and how to take it out and be gentle
[14:18] <laeg> erUSUL: it doesn't work with wine and skype etc which they acknoledge
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: you can get laptop ATA to PATA converters for very cheap
[14:18] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-2.6.24-17-generic' reports the package as already installed, vboxdrv.ko exists, but modprobe claims it cannot find the module
[14:19] <laeg> erUSUL: the reason it doesn't work with wine is because pulse doesn't recognise assumptions which are defined by the alsa interface standard
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: did you read the post I gave you?
[14:19] <sirlark> is there a module path or something similar I need to set, since I'm not booted into the latest available kernel
[14:19] <smileypaul> Anyone good with Samba?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: try sudo modprobe
[14:19] <hdevalence> My sound is not working either with or without X

[14:20] <ActionParsnip> !paste | hdevalence
[14:20] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: I did read both posts, and I'm su'ed (I set a passwd for root, cause I knew I'd be doing a buch of stuff as root, I get sick of sudo quickly)
[14:20] <sirlark> ;)
[14:20] <manoff> how do i change keyboard layout from CLI?
[14:20] <smileypaul> Problem : 4 users accessing one share .. all users are in primary group "design"

[14:20] <philsf> what's the difference between nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx-new-envy? the package descriptions don't help
[14:20] <smileypaul> when mounting this share through ubuntu, it mounts as the proper UID, but the GID is obviously 1004 (or some number)
[14:20] <manoff> how do i change keyboard layout from CLI?
[14:20] <smileypaul> and since the permissions are 770
[14:20] <erUSUL> laeg: skype has problems with alsa too for some time it is just a badly written program imho. as of wine.. id o not use it
[14:20] <smileypaul> no one can write in that folder.
[14:21] <smileypaul> how do i mount it so i am part of the design group?
[14:21] <erUSUL> manoff: for Xserver or for VT ?
[14:21] <drash> laeg: in the mean time things have moved on, there are workable solutions for a large array of sound apps by now, including wine, skype and flash .. you have the freedom of choice, not a bad thing i'd say
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> sudo mount /dev/whatever /path/to/mount/point
[14:21] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: no worries, I'm ssh'd in to her machine (I'm a gentoo-ist remember, I've learnt the lesson of being root for too many things ... twice ... ... well maybe more than than twice ;)
[14:21] <Brady-Enterprize> ﻿ActionParsnip: Cool App but not what i am looking for
[14:21] <manoff> erUSUL: VT
[14:21] <Brady-Enterprize> I can Print documents over my wireless network to a hp Multi Function Printer with no problem. BUT I CANT Scan documents over my Wireless Network (Only via USB)
[14:21] <laeg> drash: esd for wine is not a solution because it only supports a few programs and as such there is no solution.
[14:22] <laeg> drash: even without using wine or skype the sound server often crashes completely which is documented

[14:23] <Pyth> I'm experiencing some problems with Virtual Box after the last kernel update.
[14:23] <eskatos> is there a way to prevent networkmanager from touching my /etc/resolv.conf ?
[14:24] <Pyth> It's telling me that it couldn't load the kernel module, and it doesn't exist at /dev/vboxdrv
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Pyth: tried a reinstall?
[14:24] <erUSUL> laeg: i meant to say that becouse i do not use wine i can not comment on its behavior with pulseaudio
[14:24] <Pyth> ActionParsnip: Not at all, will try.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Pyth: sirlark has that too
[14:24] <jrib> Pyth: did you install virtual-box-modules for your kernel_
[14:24] <Pyth> jrib: Yes.  As I said, this happened after a kernel update.
[14:24] <Pyth> Let me just try a reinstall procedure.
[14:25] <jrib> Pyth: that doesn't answer my question
[14:25] <Pyth> jrib: I assumed the "Yes" part would.
[14:25] <jrib> Pyth: k
[14:26] <sirlark> Pyth, jrib, ActionParsnip: It seems there is no virtualbox-modules for the latest kernel,
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> its kinda nice when 2 guys have the same issue
[14:26] <geek_girl> how do I switch off server notices in Kopete? everytime I join a channel using Kopete, I am flooded with so many join/away/part messages that I can't actually use kopete. I've tried configuring "Notifications", with no luck (and no-one in the #kopete channel seems to know)
[14:26] <Pyth> jrib: In that case, I guess, no :-)
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> geek_girl: like <some dude> leaves the room etc
[14:27] <geek_girl> /pm sirlark hi
[14:27] <geek_girl> doh...
[14:27] <jrib> Pyth: what kernel are you running?
[14:27] <nathan406> Hello!
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> !hi | nathan406
[14:28] <nathan406> I need help installing my wireless cardbus
[14:28] <Kryptt_> Whats the best way to install steam?
[14:28] <jrib> !appdb > Kryptt_ (read the private message from ubottu)

[14:29] <manoff> do you know can i specify keyboard layout at boot time when booting with lilo?
[14:29] <manoff> from lilo prompt

[14:29] <ActionParsnip> !paste | nathan406
[14:29] <atle||f> Kryptt_: you could also try wine/doors
[14:29] <philsf> has anyone had problems with the security kernel upgrade with nvidia restricted driver? I'm having a version mismatch
[14:29] <chronographer> ﻿ hi again, I know its not really your thing, but anyone got a good way of using tvout with ati using fglrx (with compiz of course) to play a movie on tv without it being on monitor too?
[14:29] <atle||f> wine-doors
[14:29] <Kryptt_> What about PlayOnLinux?
[14:30] <jrib> Kryptt_: wine works great...

[14:30] <Pyth> jrib: 2.6.24-18-generic
[14:30] <sirlark> pyth, jrib, ActionParsnip: the weird thing is, having rebooted into -17, and whilst the vboxdrv.ko exists (in /lib/modules/linux-2.6.24-17-generic, but not in -18-generic), modprobe claims it can't find the module
[14:31] <jrib> Pyth: ah, that update hasn't even hit my mirror yet
[14:31] <nathan406> Thanks!
[14:31] <ale__> buongiorno
[14:31] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: geek_girl says yes (kopete crashed on her, and she's in the same room)
[14:32] <sirlark> physically
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> tell her to leave and rejoin. I cant see her in the room
[14:32] <atle||f> !it > ale_?
[14:32] <atle||f> !it > ale__
[14:32] <ale__> i'm italian!
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !it | ale__
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: or have her pm me
[14:34] <laeg> erUSUL: i can comment on its behaviour in wine as can everyone in #winehq.
[14:34] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: she has just installed pidgin
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> sirlark: good choice
[14:35] <peace-keeper> why doesn't eclipse have the orange ubuntu icon in the package manager ?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> peace-keeper: whats it got instead?
[14:36] <Soopa> ActionParsnip: okay, I managed to boot from a livecd (though I know installation doesn't work from the CD due to the messed up cd-rom)
[14:36] <Soopa> now, I have a USB stick with ubuntu on it.. can I try installing from that?
[14:36] <sirlark> ActionParsnip: but in fact the messages were about people's statuses being set to away, e.g. she'd join #ubuntu and be flooded with literally 100's of 'away messages'
[14:36] <peace-keeper> no icon
[14:36] <drash> peace-keeper: only the officially supported packages get those i believe
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> Soopa: if your system supports usb booting then yes
[14:37] <tezem> Is there a way to get 3D games like tremulous, quake3,... working with compiz?
[14:37] <Soopa> it doesn't :(
[14:37] <nathan406> ActionParsnip & ubottu, I paste it at [http://paste.ubuntu.com/16876/]
[14:39] <g33k_gir1> wow, pidgin is so much nicer than kopete!
[14:39] <g33k_gir1> its got, like, colours and stuff
[14:39] <hdevalence> g33k_gir1: KDE4 kopete is nice....
[14:40] <nathan406> ﻿ActionParsnip & ubottu, I paste it at [http://paste.ubuntu.com/16876/]
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: in pidgin, yeah its nice and a clean interface
[14:40] <dbmoodb> hi ah have been experiencing problems setting up / helping others with ubuntu and touchpads ... there is a problem on hardy / any thing.. like that where it doesn't configure alps touchpads properly or where there is a touchpad and a thumb thing ....
[14:40] <dbmoodb> anyone else experience this and has a fix ...
[14:40] <TheOV> can i change my uid?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> nathan406: use pastebin for the command outputs, not conversation
[14:40] <fen[a]> ActionParsnip: yeah pidgin is great, pity about the people that lead the project
[14:41] <Jakoo> hello, just had the updates for ubuntu hardy, then when i go to change screen on desktop through preferences it is crap the way i can select a dofferent background, like i have to click 40 times to select a background, or with the arrows it is possible even if it wont jump random on some. any idea how to fix this?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> nathan406: paste in the pastebin the outputs of lspci and lsusb
[14:41] <jrib> TheOV: yes see 'man usermod'
[14:41] <kryl99> q
[14:41] <TheOV> thx jrib
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> fen[a]: i dont concern myself with that. ALl I see is the app
[14:41] <dbmoodb> TheOV: why do you want too ..?
[14:42] <FSHero> Hello, I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on a partition but now I want to move the installation to another partition. :P
[14:42] <miickee> Anyone reckon 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIE video card will run well in ubuntu for games, considering compatibility issues with drivers etc?
[14:42] <FSHero> I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=354095
[14:42] <Bom> having problems with games, alien arena(very slow to respond) and open arena(wont start at all) any ideas for resolutions?
[14:42] <dbmoodb> FSHero:  back up the data first
[14:42] <fen[a]> ActionParsnip: have you got 8.04? have you wondered about the whole not being able to resize the input window?
[14:42] <dbmoodb> fen[a]: that is on the new pidgin not just in ubuntu hardy
[14:42] <FSHero> Therefore is it okay to use Knoppix 5.3.1 to just 'copy' the data on the partition to the other partition, then boot using the GRUB command line?
[14:43] <dbmoodb> there is a fork --- funpidgin
[14:43] <fen[a]> yeah
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> fen[a]: no plus I run fluxbuntu and I can resize it fine
[14:43] <dbmoodb> FSHero: done something like that before ?
[14:43] <arpreply> what is the name of the 'resizable input window' fork of pidgin going to be?
[14:43] <fen[a]> dbmoodb: yeah i have funpidgin
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> miickee: nvidia has the better support of the 2 main card companys, go get ne
[14:43] <dbmoodb> FSHero: first back up the data then try to do that
[14:43] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I have not done this before, now.
[14:43] <sirlark> Pyth: any luck on getting virtualbox running on your sidE?
[14:43] <fat_rat> g33k_girl: i thought geeks are using irc in emacs or at least bitchx ;]
[14:43] <miickee> ActionParsnip: Ok, just wondering if you knew what the performance of that card is like.
[14:44] <dbmoodb> FSHero: if it too hard just copy the configuration files under /etc/ and the data in your /home/YOURNAME to elsewhere and move the config files from etc back and the files from under your home back after....
[14:44] <Pyth> sirlark: Can't say so, no.  I'm trying to see if there's a kernel module that I could compile from source.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> miickee: yeah its a sweet card
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: hey, at least I'm using linux!
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: ;)
[14:44] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I have no data of value -- it's just that I installed a lot of programs that I don't want to have to re-install if I were to do a 'fresh' install from CD
[14:44] <Pyth> sirlark: I'm not really sure where to look.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: if you add some ignores you wont get so hasstled
[14:44] <blumm> hi
[14:44] <ihateu> hi, how to check my bios?
[14:44] <miickee> ActionParsnip: Cause I'm looking at getting 2GB of DDR2 ram, an amd socket am2 dual core 5200+ with it, wondering if that will play new games alright.
[14:44] <g33k_gir1> fat_rat: also, I'm a geek, not a nerd
[14:45] <dbmoodb> then copy /var/cache/apt...?
[14:45] <fat_rat> g33k_girl: ofcourse sorry my bad...
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: check your PMs
[14:45] <ihateu> i got very classic laptop
[14:45] <miickee> ActionParsnip: COnsidering my 5200 can't even play nfsmw in cedega.
[14:45] <blumm> is it possible to fxp with bookmarks instead of full ftp-paths within lftp ?
[14:45] <dbmoodb> FSHero: if you have the bandwidth it doesn't really matter
[14:45] <sirlark> Pyth, I'm going to try creating a link from one kernel's module tree to the other, I'll let you know how it goes
[14:45] <arpreply> no wonder women use gender neutral names on irc...
[14:45] <FSHero> dmoodb: I also had to compile rt2570 drivers -- twice so far, for each kernel update version!!
[14:45] <FSHero> dbmoodb: I don't really want to do this.
[14:46] <TheOV> dbmoodb: my user somehow got uid 501, and gdm (and the ubuntu user administration) wouldn't recognize it
[14:46] <skillet_> its funny when a "girl" comes into a linux channel "she" gets bombarded with comments PMs
[14:46] <Kartagis> what's the way to install a .deb?
[14:46] <arpreply> lame
[14:46] <TheOV> dbmoodb: (i mean the user i made with the ubuntu installer)
[14:46] <Pyth> sirlark: Good idea.
[14:46] <dbmoodb> FSHero: that shouldn't happen .... have you been using module-assistant ---- Kartagis sudo dpkg -i
[14:46] <FSHero> dbmoodb: You see, I installed Fedora 9 in a partition near the end of my hard drive, then I installed Kubuntu 8.04 'behind' it (further from the end). So I want to replace F9 with Kubuntu and re-install F9.
[14:47] <g33k_gir1> you know, I actually find having a feminine nick serves me well on IRC
[14:47] <Kartagis> thanks dbarnett
[14:47] <miickee> skillet_: dpkg -i <pathname of file>
[14:47] <drash> Kartagis: double-click ? GDebi installer should pick it up and will check dependencies for you
[14:47] <Kartagis> dbmoodb:
[14:47] <arpreply> g33k_gir1: sure it does, naturally
[14:47] <g33k_gir1> or rather, on IRC channels that are very technical - like the gentoo channel, for example
[14:47] <dbmoodb> FSHero: why not just enlarge the ubuntu one ....
[14:47] <FSHero> dbmoodb: what is module-assistant?
[14:47] <dbmoodb> use a knoppix cd and just make the ubuntu parition larger no ?
[14:47] <skillet_> miickee, i think that was meant for Kartagis
[14:47] <dbmoodb> wait what ? you want f9....
[14:48] <g33k_gir1> if your nick is clearly female on #gentoo, you are much more likely to get actual help, and not "why are you doing it that way, what are you? stoopid? stoopid n00b"
[14:48] <sluimers> hellooooo!! My USB network adapter doesn' t work anymore after an update, it's a WL-182 sitecom and I get a weird message when trying to restart the network
[14:48] <hccmb> module-assistant helps you compile special packages from source
[14:48] <dbmoodb> i'm confused why are you moving them...
[14:48] <sluimers> I'd to make it work again
[14:48] <slushpuppy\> Hi, I have dell photo 926 printer. Is possible to run drivers from dell, using WINE and while printing documents from open office(running outside WINE)?
[14:48] <dbmoodb> slushpuppy\: have you tried to print using it yet ?
[14:48] <unavailable> anyone good with wireless routers?
[14:48] <sirlark> Pyth: no apparent effect
[14:48] <sirlark> :(
[14:48] <arpreply> g33k_gir1: that's why i go by 'cli-chick' part of the time
[14:48] <FSHero> dbmoodb: Partition size is not really the problem... it's just that I might want to try different Linux distros in the next few weeks, so moving Kubuntu to the end of the drive seems sensible -- it is the distro that I will not change
[14:48] <Pyth> sirlark: Hmmmm
[14:48] <Vixus> Anyone using Celestia
[14:48] <sirlark> unavailable: define good ;)
[14:49] <dbmoodb> FSHero: no it doesn't
[14:49] <unavailable> well
[14:49] <Pyth> sirlark: Did you try a --reinstall after you started up in the -17 kernel?
[14:49] <dbmoodb> just use virtualbox perhaps ?
[14:49] <skillet_> unavailable, just ask
[14:49] <slushpuppy\> dbmoodb:  Yeah, the generic drivers didn't work. And I also like to make use of the scan functions of the printer.
[14:49] <sirlark> Pyth: no, good idea
[14:49] <TheOV> unavailable: what's your problem?
[14:49] <Jakoo> vixus i have used celestia but it is really better stellarium
[14:49] <unavailable> i bought a WAP54g and want to update the firmware to DD WRT  tried last night and had no luck connecting
[14:49] <Pyth> sirlark: I'll try it right now.
[14:49] <dbmoodb> FSHero: totally non-biased ubuntu is the best for new linux users
[14:49] <Vixus> Jakoo, stellarium is better than celestia?
[14:49] <TheOV> unavailable: i have a wrt54g on dd-wrt
[14:49] <blumm> anyone using lftp in here and can help me with bookmarks?
[14:49] <Jakoo> yes try it
[14:49] <fat_rat> !offtopic | everybody
[14:49] <dbmoodb> fedora core 9 isn't that great... synaptic is a lot better -- i have had the red hat guys say so them selves
[14:49] <TheOV> unavailable: did you look for help in the dd-wrt wiki?
[14:50] <skillet_> unavailable, that should be easy but not a topic for this room. dont do the flash over a wireless connection either...
[14:50] <unavailable> i know it can brick it
[14:50] <unavailable> im hardwired to the wap
[14:50] <Vixus> Jakoo, but stellarium just shows stars, right? You can't go right up to planets and stuff..
[14:50] <dbmoodb> unavailable: not the correct channel join #openwrt or #dd-wrt
[14:50] <chun> hi
[14:50] <unavailable> thx
[14:50] <FSHero> dbmoodb: Um... I agree! (But what do you mean by "non-biased"?)
[14:50] <TheOV> dbmoodb: not #openwrt
[14:51] <TheOV> he wants dd-wrt not openwrt
[14:51] <dbmoodb> as in i have tried them recently - sabayon, fedora, gentoo, red hat.... mandriva 2008.1
[14:51] <chun> I am having trouble with my Asus 1950 Pro. Whenever i turn on Effects it works perfectly well , but after 30 seconds or so, it lags and freezes the whole ubuntu. please help
[14:51] <dbmoodb> ubuntu is the best for new users --- for my self i use debian etch
[14:51] <FSHero> hccmb: thanks for the tip on module-assistant
[14:51] <Oli```> Guys, keep things on topic. This is a support channel
[14:51] <hccmb> hello all, update is offering users an new kernel, but that would break drivers that you compiled for the old kernel , right?
[14:51] <hccmb> np
[14:51] <Jakoo> mh i dunno to be honest i am interested to constallations
[14:51] <blivori> How do I add to GRUB (via config file) a Windows XP install which is called sda3 ?
[14:52] <sirlark> Pyth: Jackpot
[14:52] <dbmoodb> hccmb: it may, it really depends modules should just be moved over if they can be...
[14:52] <Oli```> hccmb: yeah that's likely
[14:52] <drash> blivori: check your /boot/grub/menu.list, there's an example inside near the bottom to do just that
[14:52] <hccmb> dbmoodb its the ralink drivers for wireless from serial monkey
[14:52] <TheOV> blivori: in grub, the XP partition will probably be (hd0,2)
[14:53] <blivori> drash: tgat one is not working
[14:53] <sirlark> uninstall virtualbox-modules-2.6.24-17-generic, whilst in a -17 kernel, then reinstall
[14:53] <blivori> TheOV: its called sda3 in dolphin so iunno
[14:53] <Jakoo> vixus i have used it to watch mars so i think it can
[14:53] <sirlark> modprobe then works successfully
[14:53] <TheOV> yes
[14:53] <Bom> where is a good channel for game support
[14:53] <drash> blivori: the example is still there no ?
[14:53] <dbmoodb> hccmb: yeah and.... ubuntu has done a good job atm when their own modules for those cards
[14:53] <Pyth> Woohoo!
[14:53] <chun> I am having trouble with my Asus 1950 Pro. Whenever i turn on Effects it works perfectly well , but after 30 seconds or so, it lags and freezes the whole ubuntu. please help
[14:53]  * Pyth high-fives sirlark.
[14:53]  * fat_rat heard thad debian is a museum of free software ;]
[14:53] <blivori> drash: yes but it doesnt work
[14:53] <TheOV> blivori: yes sda3 most likely translates to (hd0,2)
[14:53] <blivori> TheOV: thanks
[14:54] <dbmoodb> fat_rat: i heard debian is stable and ubuntu depends on it
[14:54] <hccmb> kernel update would also kill an virtualbox install , since thats compiled for the current kernel too
[14:54] <hccmb> right?
[14:54] <TheOV> !grub | blivori
[14:54] <dbmoodb> yeah but you just get the new modules
[14:54] <Oli```> Bom: Through Wine: #winehq otherwise... not sure
[14:54] <BiteyBite> how do i make real player default player to play diff media files in my FF3 beta 5 on kubuntu 8.04 kde3?
[14:54] <fat_rat> dbmoodb: i thought ubuntu is just like debian sid ;]
[14:54] <FSHero> dbmoodb: okay, I'm glad you've tried them all! Which non-Ubuntu distro would you recommend to an 'experimenter'?
[14:54] <drash> blivori: any errors that might be of help to find out what's wrong ?

[14:54] <Vixus> Jakoo, cool I'll try it out..
[14:55] <hccmb> knoppix
[14:55] <blivori> drash: I didnt type them
[14:55] <Jakoo> vixus try it i think you ll like it
[14:55] <dbmoodb> BiteyBite: ..... ah perhaps get vlc for firefox or all the media plugins ...
[14:55] <FSHero> dbmoodb: What I did find frustruating about F9 was... there was no "make" in the out-of-the-box hard disk installation, so I couldn't compile my wireless NIC driver!
[14:55] <Bom> Oli, thanks but need asst with Open Arena and Alien Arena
[14:55] <drash> BiteyBite: via Firefox preferences, under applications tab you can make the change
[14:55] <dbmoodb> FSHero: there isn't in ubuntu or debian you know
[14:55] <FSHero> dbmoodb: nice... but isn't it a bit complicated? (I heard...!)
[14:55] <sirlark> is there a way I can set up an alert for when a particular package update becomes available, e.g. I'm going to now set up grub.conf to boot the previous kernel, so virtual box works, but want to know when I can revert to the latest kernel (i.e. when the vboxdrv modules become available for the latest kernel)
[14:55] <dbmoodb> debian etch ?
[14:55] <drash> blivori: ok
[14:56] <sirlark> And I'd prefer not to have to manually check updates daily
[14:56] <Oli```> hccmb: there's a script that comes with virtualbox to recompile the module (takes about a minute) - just load it up, wait for it to bitch about the module and then copy and paste in the script address (with "sudo" prefixed onto it)
[14:56] <hccmb> ok Oli , great
[14:56] <FSHero> dbmoodb: Huh, strange... Kubuntu 8.04 came with make, so I could "make" then "make install" the source code of my wireless driver. Maybe I installed build-essential but I don't remember!
[14:56] <BiteyBite> drash: i tried that there is nothing whole place is blank

[14:57] <erUSUL> !usplash | Bom
[14:57] <dbmoodb> sirlark: the ubuntu maintainers should make sure of that for you, if they don't it should be fine to use the older kernel .... if it is available from the grub menu. i wouldn't be too woried about virtualbox not loading -- just use module-assiant or get the new modules (which is /should be done for you )

[14:57] <Jakoo> hello, just had the updates for ubuntu hardy, then when i go to change screen on desktop through preferences it is crap the way i can select a dofferent background, like i have to click 40 times to select a background, or with the arrows it is possible even if it wont jump random on some. any idea how to fix this?
[14:57] <sirlark> Daviey: * Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}
[14:57] <BiteyBite> drash: i just installed the darn thing
[14:57] <Oli```> Thanks Daviey - not sure why that didn't work for me
[14:57] <BiteyBite> it doesnt show any thing there
[14:58] <FSHero> dbmoodb: ok, so you recommend Debian Etch? What about an RPM-based 'newbie-centric' distro?
[14:58] <Pyth> sirlark: It's a good point.
[14:58] <Daviey> Oli```: add the | symbol
[14:58] <Daviey> sirlark: ah, i use the binary version
[14:58] <Oli```> Daviey: *slaps himself on the forehead* aaah, thanks =)
[14:58] <giedrius> hellow
[14:58] <dbmoodb> i don't recommend rpm distros, otherwise i would recommend something more stable, i can't recommend anything other than mandriva (which isn't that stable either)
[14:58] <Bom> erUSUL and ubottu : thanks, is there a GUI to do this as I am not very comfortable with terminal as of yet
[14:58] <hccmb> pclinuxos
[14:59] <dbmoodb> i will not recommend novell for various reasons,but that you may try that if you want it
[14:59] <drash> BiteyBite: if you got a working realplayer plugin at least you can hit a site with some realmedia content and see if it get's picked up ok
[14:59] <erUSUL> Bom: ubottu is a bot ;P i do not know of a gui
[14:59] <hccmb> mandriva free
[14:59] <chun> I am having trouble with my Asus 1950 Pro. Whenever i turn on Effects it works perfectly well , but after 30 seconds or so, it lags and freezes the whole ubuntu. please help
[14:59] <FSHero> dbmoodb: let me guess-- you don't like the patent covenant? ;)
[14:59] <dbmoodb> pclinuxos is defunct it is old now and is a bit out of date...
[14:59] <meltingclock> i had trouble removing a package, and now i cant unmark it for removal in synaptic...is there any explanation for this?
[14:59] <hccmb> fedora , :P
[14:59] <dbmoodb> FSHero: its called gpl v3 - microsoft was for a time potentially a gpl v3 vendor
[14:59] <Kl4m> I use CentOS
[14:59] <Bom> erUSUL : thanks...still learning :)
[14:59] <sirlark> dbmoodb: the module thing is exactly what Pyth and I have been struggling with for the past half hour or so
[14:59] <BiteyBite> drash: whenever i click some real media page it says ff doent know how to open this type of file
[15:00] <hccmb> centos is all about stability
[15:00] <dbmoodb> really ? ... try modules-assisant ?
[15:00] <dbmoodb> hccmb: centos is about not getting support and still using rpms
[15:00] <hccmb> :)
[15:00] <dbmoodb> !red hat
[15:00] <ray_> how i fix my ubuntu update on ubuyntu 8
[15:00] <ali_> i just mounted an iso now how do i run it?
[15:00] <sirlark> dbmoodb: modules-assistant
[15:00] <sirlark> ?
[15:00] <Mez> !redhat | dbmoodb
[15:00] <ray_> it wont updatew anty more whart i do
[15:00] <dbmoodb> yeah try that
[15:00] <ray_> ?
[15:01] <dbmoodb> ray what is the problem
[15:01] <sirlark> dbmoodb: apt-get -- E: Couldn't find package modules-assistant
[15:01] <ray_> my ubuntu 8 update will not upodate no more
[15:01] <freddy_e> I just installed some updates and now my wireless card (atheros AR54xx) doesn't work anymore through madwifi. The command "sudo iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0" gives the output "ath0    no private ioctls"...has anybody else encountered this?
[15:01] <dbmoodb> module-assistant ?
[15:01] <drash> BiteyBite: do you have the plugin ? about::plugins (only one ":" otherwise this would have been a smiley) says so ?
[15:01] <ray_> how i fix it
[15:01] <hccmb> sirlark : are you trying to compile a module?
[15:01] <dbmoodb> can you explain in more detail ray ?
[15:01] <meltingclock> i tried removing a package, but an error occured. not a big deal. but synaptic won't let me unmark it, so each time i go to synaptic it tries to remove the package, what could be the problem?
[15:01] <sirlark> hccmb: not directly
[15:01] <Kl4m> freddy_e: the kernel version has changed. Your wireless card's kernel module must probably not load because of the change
[15:01] <ray_> db what i check for update it will not update just hand with no errr
[15:02] <ray_> how i fix it
[15:02] <TheOV> dbmoodb: I would recommend Arch for people who want an easy distro (but not as easy as ubuntu)
[15:02] <freddy_e> K14m: Thanks. Should I use a previous version of the Kernel or a new version of madwifi?
[15:02] <dbmoodb> arch ? .... never looked into it actually thought it was sort of dead and hard to use
[15:02] <BiteyBite> drash: it says realplayer9 plugin from mplayer n then helix dna plugin: realplayer g2 plugin
[15:03] <good> bonjour comment jouer a wurms par internet ? svp merci
[15:03] <sirlark> hccmb: updating broke virtual box, because there's no accompanying vboxdrv module package for the latest kernel... booting into the previous kernel didn't fix the problem, because modprobe couldn't find the module (even though it was there). Only uninstalling and reinstalling the module whilst botted in previous kernel got it working
[15:03] <jasonlfunk> I need a program that will recover files from a disc (that has multiple partitions - though they only ones I care about are ext2) that had it's partition table deleted. The files are still there, I can see them if I "strings /dev/sda".
[15:03] <Kl4m> freddy_e: Use the prvious kernel until a madwifi update comes out (if you installed it via apt / synaptic )
[15:04] <StooJ> !rsync
[15:04] <hccmb> pff , lots of work to get it working again i can see that
[15:04] <sirlark> hccmb: I was suggesting that it would be nice if there a way to register for notifications for SPECIFIC packages (i.e. I want to know when a module package for the latest kernel becomes available, so I can revert my grub.conf)
[15:04] <drash> BiteyBite: probably the empty applications list in firefox that's messing things up, never experienced that, so i'm afraid i'm out of helpfull ideas .. or the two plugins conflict with one another, have you tried taking one out ?
[15:05] <freddy_e> K14m: I installed it via subversion, but I'll check for an update soon. Thanks again.
[15:05] <ray_> db how i fix this
[15:05] <sirlark> dbmoodb, hccmb: and it looks like vboxdrv isn't in module-assistant ..

[15:06] <FSHero> dbmoodb: one last thing...
[15:06] <ali_> how do i run a mounted iso
[15:06] <hccmb> yes i see, i decided to turn updates off on my users machines for now, or i would be forced to to all the module compiling off the wireless drivers all over again
[15:06] <erUSUL> jasonlfunk: testdisk package includes photorec
[15:06] <CarlFK> If I want to get rid of /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic and all other -14 stuff (out of room on /boot) what package would I apt-get remove ?
[15:06] <meltingclock> okay. how about, is there a command to rm files listed with a package? instead of dpkg -r,  how could i rm the files?
[15:06] <jasonlfunk> erUSUL: I tried gpart but it didn't guess right. They were logical partitions, and apparently gpart has some trouble.
[15:07] <FSHero> dbmoodb: If I copy the contents of /var/cache/apt, do I just copy those files back to /var/cache/apt once I have installed Kubuntu from the CD once more?
[15:07] <erUSUL> CarlFK: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic ??

[15:08] <ali_> how do i run my mounted iso in ubuntu
[15:08] <hccmb> buy bigger disks ...LOL
[15:08] <ray_> any one
[15:08] <dbmoodb> just go to where you mounted it ali
[15:08] <Myrtti> !iso | ali_
[15:08] <ray_> cant get my ubuntu update
[15:08] <icqnumber> 1ati
[15:08] <dbmoodb> ray well what happens... i don't follow what you are saying
[15:08] <icqnumber> !ati
[15:08] <sirlark> ali_: what do you mean by run? if you mean access
[15:08] <CarlFK> jasonlfunk: yes
[15:08] <erUSUL> CarlFK: make sure you have oters kernels to boot from
[15:08] <Kartagis> !webcam
[15:08] <ray_> db the ubuntu system update dont update
[15:08] <chun> bah
[15:08] <jasonlfunk> CarlFK: Where does it write the package to? Just ram?
[15:08] <chun> useless irc channel
[15:08] <CarlFK> jasonlfunk: yup
[15:09] <hccmb> ray_ what was the package that broke it?
[15:09] <ray_> db understand
[15:09] <ray_> hccmb not surew
[15:09] <dbmoodb> ray_ when you try to update ? or you try to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu ?
[15:09] <ray_> sure
[15:09] <ray_> db im on ubuntu 8
[15:09] <hccmb> ray_  does apt-get still work?
[15:09] <ray_> yes
[15:09] <ali_> sirlark: ive mounted it with gmount iso then i want the run it u know
[15:09] <meltingclock> how do i remove all files that a package installed?
[15:09] <dbmoodb> apt-get update shows what ray ?
[15:09] <Oli```> Anyone know how to improve Flash performance under Nvidia/Compiz? Fullscreen flash (especially videos) stutter and tear like hell. Far too much CPU usage as well.
[15:10] <CarlFK> ali_: what does "run a cd" mean?
[15:10] <dbmoodb> does that work... and then if you try and install something using apt-get what happens
[15:10] <sirlark> ali_ as in windows-esque autorun?
[15:10] <ray_> what i do?
[15:10] <ray_> is there a command to fix it
[15:10] <ali_> CarlFK: well the iso is a game so i mounted it and i want to run it
[15:11] <dbmoodb> ray_ first can you try to use apt-get install to install something or go apt-get upgrade one of them and see what happens
[15:11] <hccmb> ray_  open the gnome terminal and type apt-get update
[15:11] <ali_> sirlark: yeh i guess
[15:11] <hccmb> ray_  with sudo
[15:11] <hccmb> afcause
[15:11] <soundray> Is there a way to make mutt remember the key passphrase throughout a session? At the moment, I have to type in the key each time I send an email.
[15:11] <philsf> has anyone had problems with the security kernel upgrade with nvidia restricted driver?
[15:12] <ray_> hccmb at 71% it freeze
[15:12] <ray_> when i do that it gose out but at 71% freezez
[15:12] <CarlFK> ali_: it is probably a game designed for mac or win, so it won't "just work" with linux - but depending on what it is, there is always some way to make it work
[15:12] <hccmb> ray_  try apt-get -f install
[15:12] <sirlark> ali_: auto-run is not something linux usually does (there are ways to get it working, but reasons not to). If you've successfully mounted the disc, change to the directory where you mounted it, and look for an executable file... I'm assuming this game is in fact linux comatible?
[15:12] <dbmoodb> ray_ it sounds like his repos are misconfigured to me
[15:13] <dbmoodb> oops i meant hccmb
[15:13] <ray_> hccmb with sudo
[15:13] <hccmb> ray_   yes
[15:13] <drash> Oli```: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 ? Getting flash player 10 beta working with pulseaudio is what's proposed as a fix (worked for me)
[15:13] <hccmb> sorry forgot to mention
[15:13] <Kl4m> philsf: the kernel has changed version. Use the previous kernel (if you're not affected by the issues!) and wait for an update to the nvidia* packages
[15:14] <ray_> still freezez
[15:14] <Kl4m> soundray: maybe there's a way to connect mutt with the gnome keyring. Other than that I don't know
[15:14] <hccmb> ray_   like dbmoodb said , maybe repos are wrong , open synaptic package manager
[15:15] <dbmoodb> perhaps his repo is down atm --- that has happened to me on occasion, but it doesn't freeze it goes oh noes i can't get that repo info
[15:15] <Soopa> hey gang, I'm getting an error when trying to install
[15:15] <Soopa> it says something like "ext3 system creation in partition failed"
[15:15] <hccmb> ray_   then settings / package sources and choose there download from main server
[15:15] <soundray> Kl4m: okay -- I'm running mutt through ssh, so no gnome. Thanks anyway
[15:16] <philsf> Kl4m: so you confirm that there is a problem with versions right now, or is this a generic suggestion (nothing wrong, but just so I know)?
[15:16] <ray_> hccmb o okj
[15:16] <ali_> can anyone give me a link to the windows irc?
[15:16] <hccmb> dbmoodb : how would one be able to check if the server is online?

[15:16] <soundray> ali_: ##windows ?
[15:17] <philsf> http://pastebin.com/f3e7c2cb5
[15:17] <dbmoodb> ping
[15:17] <Ienorand> !seen joshual
[15:17] <dbmoodb> or try it your self i guess
[15:17] <Kl4m> philsf: there has been a kernel update not long ago. It will affect many third party kernel modules (proprietary and open, e.g. virtualbox)
[15:17] <drash> Soopa: what are you trying to get installed ? Ubuntu itself ?
[15:17] <philsf> Kl4m: ok, thanks
[15:17] <dbmoodb> that is weird Soopa is the hard disk clean -- are you sure that the hard disk is in full working order ...
[15:18] <hccmb> Kl4m , yes it will break your compiled things , like virtualbox
[15:18] <Soopa> drash: yep
[15:18] <Soopa> drash: from a liveCD
[15:18] <neo01> hi all
[15:18] <Soopa> I want it to use the whole disk
[15:18] <hccmb> hi neo , you are the one!
[15:18] <spaker> hi guys
[15:19] <Soopa> and delete the XP partition
[15:19] <Ienorand> I'm installing hardy on an old Dell here, and I can't get NV drivers working, it just gives me one huge stripe after reboot, anybody know how to make them work properly (I am back with standard driver now).
[15:19] <neo01> :D hccmb
[15:19] <hccmb> Soopa , why not format the disk ?
[15:19] <dbmoodb> Ienorand: it should be fine just try the ubuntu method again perhaps
[15:20] <Soopa> "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed" is what it says
[15:20] <Soopa> hccmb: how do I do that?
[15:20] <dbmoodb> Soopa: how old is this computer
[15:20] <Ienorand> ﻿dbmoodb: tried both ubuntu-way and envyng, same result, black-white stripe a soon as I reach gdm.
[15:20] <drash> Soopa: did you choose to follow the installers proposed partitioning or did it manually ? you could try to boot again and before installing anything use a tool called gparted to check your disk ... besides that i can't really tell what could be causing it i'm afraid
[15:21] <Soopa> dbmoodb: it's an old laptop from '03 or so
[15:21] <laeg> the ubuntu-way is strong with this one
[15:21] <dbmoodb> really that is odd Ienorand my friend has a similar thing fixed by reinstalling --- weirdness
[15:21] <Soopa> drash: I followed the proposed partitioning
[15:21] <Soopa> hmm
[15:21] <dbmoodb> Soopa: should be fine.... you haven't dropped it too much...
[15:21] <bjwebb> if i was a program running on ubuntu, how would it tell that i was running on ubuntu?
[15:21] <dbmoodb> go back and try guided full disk -- seeing that is what you want and leave it at the defaults
[15:22] <soundray> Soopa: how big is the hard disk drive?
[15:22] <hdevalence> My sound isn't working (lspci shows my Audio Device as Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) ).
[15:22] <hccmb> Soopa , how are you trying to format it to ext3? what are you using?
[15:22] <psteyn> ubuntu-way ?
[15:22] <dbmoodb> just check that is what you want -- to use the whole disk and remove xp
[15:22] <Soopa> hccmb: just the wizard that the installer uses
[15:22] <Ienorand> ﻿dbmoodb: however, I can use ubuntu, i.e. log in, start terminal and reboot, although doing so "in blind", so it's just down to screen output.
[15:22] <hdevalence> It doesn't work even when I try running something as basic as speaker-test
[15:22] <Soopa> maybe I can use gparted to wipe the whole thing clean?
[15:22] <soundray> Soopa: I was going to suggest something else... how big?
[15:23] <dbmoodb> Ienorand: i never said you couldnt do that
[15:23] <hccmb> Soopa , if you choose to use the whole disk it will, but maybe first run the cdrom check for errors to make shure its 100%
[15:23] <Ienorand> ﻿dbmoodb: no, i just pointed it out :)
[15:23] <dbmoodb> Ienorand: its not windows... when the gui dies the things continues on ...
[15:24] <Soopa> soundray: how big for what?
[15:24] <soundray> Soopa: how big is the hard disk drive?
[15:24] <fmardini> hello, i installed ruby in /usr/local and which returns the one there, but when i call ruby the one installed by apt-get is being called. what am i missing
[15:24] <Soopa> 40 gb
[15:24] <Ienorand> ﻿dbmoodb: Aye, one thing I like about The Ubuntu.
[15:24] <Soopa> hccmb: okay, how do I check for errors from the liveCD?
[15:24] <orangefly> i'm trying to get a friends lexmark printer to work on ubuntu but it's not supported....will it do any good to install xp in vmware so she can use it....???....
[15:24] <fmardini> http://pastie.caboo.se/208634
[15:24] <hccmb> Soopa , boot from live cd again, and choose check for errors
[15:25] <Soopa> okay, I'll try that
[15:25] <joaopinto> fmardini, binaries are executed on the order they appear on the PATH variable
[15:25] <dbmoodb> orangefly: get a new printer
[15:25] <Kl4m> Ienorand: maybe use nvidia-legacy
[15:25] <dbmoodb> orangefly: what model tho ?
[15:25] <soundray> Soopa: if it's a disk fault, it's possible that this fault accepts only a few sectors. So you could try to make a 4GB partition at the beginning of the disk and leave the rest unpartitioned for now. That would improve your chances of getting it installed
[15:25] <fmardini> joaopinto: this is my PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[15:26] <soundray> Soopa: s/accepts/affects/   -- sorry
[15:26] <Soopa> cool, thanks soundray.. checking for errors now
[15:26] <orangefly> dbmoodb, x34XX something....i'm at work now and don't remember....i searched and asked here and found out it wont work....she got it new as a gift....
[15:26] <orangefly> dbmoodb, i had to try....
[15:27] <soundray> Soopa: later you can identify the precise nature of the fault and work around it -- or buy a new harddisk with confidence that Ubuntu will work on your laptop.
[15:27] <Ienorand> ﻿Kl4m: what is the difference?
[15:27] <dbmoodb> sure orangefly well lexmark are the monkeyballs of the printing word these days .... i think that a vmware setup would be ok --- try virtualbox first tho or qemu and just make an xp host that shares the printer and hav e linux just print via it perhaps ?
[15:27] <grobda24> Hello. I compiled and installed the linuxtv DVD modules manually. Is that safe? Will my install conflict with anything like the restricted modules package ?
[15:27] <soundray> Soopa: I think your CD will check out just fine -- this kind of problem is not usually due to bad burns
[15:27] <grobda24> DVB*
[15:28] <dbmoodb> either that or spend some money and buy a real printer
[15:28] <hccmb> Soopa , are you sure you wanto wipe it? you can think of dual boot untill you know your way around ubuntu some more..., i gues you are beginner.. not sure though
[15:28] <orangefly> dbarnett, like i said....she just got it as a gift and i thought i'd try....
[15:28] <dbmoodb> Scooma:  back up ALL OF THE DATA.
[15:28] <soundray> grobda24: do you mean DVB?
[15:28] <dbmoodb> just remember to back up all of your data .... ok
[15:29] <Soopa> hccmb: yeah, I'm ready to take the plunge :)
[15:29] <hccmb> cool!
[15:29] <grobda24> soundray ... yes, silly typo :P
[15:29] <Soopa> hccmb: it's an old laptop that I wasn't doing anything with anyway
[15:29] <soundray> grobda24: it'll be fine -- no conflicts to be expected.
[15:29] <orangefly> dbmoodb, ty....will do....
[15:30] <drash> *gone* .. bye all
[15:30] <grobda24> soundray ... great :) good to know.
[15:30] <tetraedr> people, how do I make a panel like this one: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/74045-2.jpg
[15:30] <hccmb> !awn
[15:31] <tetraedr> thnx
[15:32] <soundray> ubottu, no, awn =~ s/,//g
[15:32] <adamt> congratz on reasent package fuckups ..
[15:32] <grobda24> tetraedr ... that's the gnome dock I think. Put a few terms into package manager and you should se it.
[15:32] <soundray> !language | adamt
[15:32] <hccmb> soundray?
[15:32] <jrib> adamt: do you have an actual support question?
[15:32] <adamt> jrib: i do
[15:32] <tetraedr> I've installed Avant Window Navigator - looks cool, but I don't know how to remove existing one :(
[15:32] <jrib> adamt: how about asking it instead of opening like you just did?
[15:32] <grobda24> tetraedr ... oh, hccmb got it :)
[15:32] <adamt> someone fix linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-rt so it can actually be removed/updated or be not-broken.
[15:33] <jrib> adamt: head over to bugs.ubuntu.com
[15:33] <soundray> hccmb: the comma in the factoid is wrong
[15:33] <hccmb> tetraedr , i think right klick and remove?
[15:34] <dbmoodb> adama: please do not swear in this channel if you want a package that works make it your self the ubuntu packages are done slightly differently at times by maintainers to help normal users
[15:34] <tetraedr> hccmb, doesn't work, it only allows to remove applets
[15:34] <hccmb> soundray , i dont know who makes the ubbotu entry,s
[15:34] <soundray> hccmb: I do, thanks
[15:34] <adamt> dbmoodb: package that works? are you being stupid? this is a package from stable, that broke together with the newest kernel+fixes that was pushes into the repos today
[15:34] <dbmoodb> adamt: if you don't like the way a package is made make your own or try a different repo... (perhaps unofficial or go and use debian)
[15:35] <dbmoodb> adamt: what package ?
[15:35] <Alexander> hey
[15:35] <tetraedr> oh, made it :)
[15:35] <soundray> adamt: do not let your frustration spoil your good manners.
[15:35] <hccmb> tetraedr , ok
[15:35] <adamt> dbmoodb: great standard-answer, do you have any other standard-answers you would like to copy'n'paste to me? :P
[15:35] <adamt> dmacnutt: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-rt broke today, from stable
[15:35] <dbmoodb> adamt: going to tell me which package ?... oh the rt kernel broke ?
[15:35] <Alexander> so what's the 411 on the stability
[15:36] <gordonjcp> dbmoodb: hm, what?  The -rt kernel is broken?
[15:36] <dbmoodb> i doubt it
[15:36] <philsf> adamt: what exactly is going wrong?
[15:36] <soundray> adamt: nobody here is responsible for the problem you are experiencing. We are volunteers dedicating some of our time to help with problem. It would be great if you could bear yourself accordingly.
[15:36] <philsf> adamt: I'm having issues with the -generic
[15:36] <soundray> *problems
[15:37] <adamt> philsf: the package is broken, can't remove it (dpkg returns an error, etc), and i'm not sure i wan't to reboot my system :P
[15:37] <jrib> adamt: you should probably share the error on a pastebin
[15:37] <hccmb> adamt : would be nice if it was a bit more on topic, are clearer discribed
[15:37] <dbmoodb> adamt: install the generic one and then you will have a failsafe
[15:37] <philsf> adamt: oh, so it's nothing related to my problem
[15:37] <hccmb> or
[15:37] <adamt> dbmoodb: i f... can't install anything, due to the way apt works.
[15:37] <dbmoodb> what ?
[15:38] <dbmoodb> apt isn't dependant on the kernel ...
[15:38] <adamt> dbmoodb: paste coming up.
[15:38] <dbmoodb> (the being the one of the running system )
[15:38] <gordonjcp> wow, slow mirror
[15:38] <adamt> dbmoodb: http://pastebin.com/d1a4c9915
[15:39] <DoYouKnow> Hi. I'm trying to install the latest open source ati drivers from here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9951 and I get an error message when installing the latest 2d drivers that I don't have a new enough xorg version
[15:39] <gordonjcp> how can I get apt to pick a faster mirror?
[15:39] <adamt> dbmoodb: you don't need to tell me how a system works, thanks.
[15:39] <adamt> gordonjcp: change it in /etc/apt/source.list :-)
[15:39] <jrib> gordonjcp: system -> administration -> software sources
[15:39] <adamt> gordonjcp: change it in /etc/apt/sources.list :-) <= typo before
[15:39] <gordonjcp> jrib: sorry, should have been more clear - from the command line
[15:39] <gordonjcp> adamt: yes, I know that
[15:39] <DoYouKnow> is there a repository with an xorg that's greater than >= 2:1.4.99.901)
[15:39] <jrib> gordonjcp: the gui will let you scan for a fast one though :)
[15:39] <gordonjcp> jrib: yes, is there a command-line tool to scan for a fast one?
[15:40] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure and associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[15:40] <dbmoodb> adamt: got a boot partition ?
[15:40] <adamt> dbmoodb: yes, and it's mounted..
[15:40] <DoYouKnow> well, this might be the wrong channel for that, but I'm curious if anyone here has tried it
[15:40] <jrib> gordonjcp: apt turns up netselect-apt.  I've never tried it
[15:40] <njero> Hey #ubuntu. I am about to set up a machine the exact same way I always do for the hundredth time. Is there some clever tool to make an image once I have installed everything?
[15:40] <gordonjcp> njero: yes
[15:41] <soundray> gordonjcp:    sudo sed -i 's/some.archive.com/uk.archive.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list     (substitute 'some')
[15:41]  * njero salivates
[15:41] <njero> r0bby!
[15:41] <Scooma> gordonjcp, what's it called?
[15:41] <dbmoodb> adamt: it says its full ... i hope you are aware of the problem that gives you
[15:41] <joaopinto> njero, partimage is a nice tool for partition backups
[15:42] <adamt> dbmoodb: ... so it can't remove the package, because it's full? that sounds.. wrong :-)
[15:42]  * r0bby runs and hides
[15:42] <jrib> adamt: remove old linux-image-* packages
[15:42] <dbmoodb> adamt: i know
[15:42] <HardKiller> .org
[15:42] <njero> joaopinto: can you make a live cd from it?
[15:42] <hccmb> gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[15:42] <gordonjcp> adamt: it won't remove the old one until it puts in the new one
[15:42] <adamt> jrib: why does ubuntu decide to keep them?
[15:42] <dbmoodb> if you really want to remove it just kill the files i guess but i don't recommend it
[15:42] <gordonjcp> adamt: this is deliberate
[15:42] <gordonjcp> adamt: it avoids the Bricked Cisco Fiasco
[15:43] <jrib> adamt: because it doesn't do things you didn't ask it to do
[15:43] <joaopinto> njero, no, anyway a full install does not fit on a cd, and you are not expected to create a live cd from a real install
[15:43] <adamt> gordonjcp: it also avoids openssl fiascos? :P
[15:43] <njero> hmm, I suppose that makes sense
[15:43] <gordonjcp> adamt: wouldn't know about that - the openssl fiasco was because of Debian vandalism upstream
[15:44] <StevenX> guys, any suggestions for converting pdf to doc / txt / rtf?
[15:44] <soundray> adamt: so after all your ranting about broken packages, the problem is a failure on your part to keep track of your disk usage. What a show!
[15:44] <jrib> adamt: if you're having trouble removing old packages just make some room on /boot by moving an *old* and unneeded initrd.* file somewhere else and then try apt again
[15:44] <dbmoodb> gordon i heard that ubuntu breaking so many packages downstream vandalism
[15:44] <gordonjcp> adamt: the whole broken openssl with weak keys was caused by a stupid Debian maintainer tampering with stuff they didn't understand
[15:44] <adamt> soundray: no, i don't expect the system to keep every kernel it ever installed. that's just stupid.
[15:44] <dbmoodb> if you really think that go and take ubuntu and remove everything debian from it
[15:44] <dbmoodb> i dare you
[15:44] <gordonjcp> adamt: you didn't tell it to remove it
[15:44] <dbmoodb> starting with apt
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> dbmoodb Please stop
[15:45] <adamt> gordonjcp: updating something implies removing the old stuff...
[15:45] <soundray> adamt: it would be stupid to remove old kernels without asking.
[15:45] <gordonjcp> dbmoodb: you're not actually reading what I'm saying
[15:45] <bballplaya344> hello everyone, so i just installed all the new updates for today and supposedly it built a new kernel however it is not showing up on my boot list, any ideas ?
[15:45] <gordonjcp> adamt: yeah
[15:45] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure and associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[15:45] <dbmoodb> i did -- i just responded to the comment on the mainainter
[15:45] <dbmoodb> i have stopped
[15:45] <trontonic> ♥Debian and Ubuntu :)
[15:45] <njero> alright, thanks all...
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> dbmoodb This is not a discussion channel.. it is support.. If you have a valid support question please ask..
[15:45] <gordonjcp> adamt: except where removing the old one and then being unable to replace it with the new one would bring the system down
[15:45] <njero> thanks joaopinto will check it out, night!
[15:46] <trontonic> Anybody running Intrepid yet?
[15:46] <adamt> gordonjcp: but it doesn't. i had 2 old -generic and 2 old -rt's installed. that's just stupid.
[15:46] <jrib> trontonic: /join #ubuntu+1
[15:46] <trontonic> jrib: thanks
[15:46] <lastelement1> ﻿hey all, im running ubuntu on a toshiba satellite a105 laptop with ALC681 sound card. however i am getting no sound. how cna i get sound to work?
[15:46] <soundray> adamt: no, it isn't. It's what a well-behaved system has to do.
[15:47] <Slart> bballplaya344: might be a bug.. there was a bug about update-grub not working
[15:47] <gordonjcp> adamt: so how would you know which one to remove?
[15:47] <adamt> gordonjcp: deleting the oldest one seems quite sane..
[15:47] <dbmoodb> adama: apt-get --purge remove blah ?
[15:47] <gordonjcp> adamt: what if that's the only one that works?
[15:47] <jrib> adamt: write a spec and implement it, I think your actual support issue is taken care of though, right?
[15:48] <fbc> are there any good router guides that will also show you how priorities traffic or apply bandwidth limits(or both) to certain machines by mac address?
[15:48] <adamt> gordonjcp: the system could see which kernel was running. don't be a stupid prick, this isn't rocket science.
[15:48] <jrib> adamt: don't insult users of this channel
[15:48] <jrib> especially the ones helping you...
[15:49] <gordonjcp> adamt: or it could just leave it alone, and allow the competent admin to decide for themselves which to delete
[15:49] <adamt> having free space on /boot still gives me problems.
[15:49] <Ienorand> Does anobody know of a good guide to install nvidia drivers manually, like cchtml but for NV?
[15:49] <dbmoodb> can we kick adamt he isn't being very constructive
[15:49] <SpeedFleX> hi all
[15:49] <Neurostu> lenorand have you tried envy?
[15:49] <gordonjcp> jrib: dude, it takes a lot more than that to insult me
[15:49] <dbmoodb> adamt free up some space --- why do you want to even remove that kernel in the first place
[15:49] <adamt> dbmoodb: i DID free up plenty of space.
[15:50] <jrib> adamt: pastebin the output of 'df -h'
[15:50] <Ienorand> ﻿Neurostu: Yes, only automatic though, which gave me one white stripe.
[15:50] <adamt> jrib: *this* is the problem http://pastebin.com/d60c663ed
[15:50] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure and associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[15:50] <Ienorand> ﻿Neurostu: Think manual would be worth a shot?
[15:50] <jrib> adamt: the problem is your /boot is full
[15:51] <adamt> jrib: no it's not
[15:51] <dbmoodb> jrib: i already told him that he doesn't want to believe it
[15:51] <Neurostu> Lenorand, pm me I'll help you do it
[15:51] <jrib> adamt: then pastebin 'df -h'
[15:51] <adamt> jrib: and you give me a cookie when i show you it's not full?
[15:51] <adamt> dbmoodb: i did believe you, i fixed the problem, and dpkg STILL is fubar.
[15:51] <jrib> adamt: something like that
[15:51] <adamt> jrib: /dev/sda5              99M   77M   18M  82% /boot
[15:52] <adamt> satisfied?
[15:52] <hccmb> dbmoodb maybe later adamt should run apt-get -f install?
[15:52] <jrib> adamt: yes, so pastebin the full error you get now
[15:52] <dbmoodb> no
[15:52] <hccmb> okey sorry
[15:52] <adamt> jrib: i already did that, that was what synaptic gave me.
[15:52] <dbmoodb> adamt: doesn't want to break his system because he is being some what difficult
[15:52] <subsume> My install of ubuntu failed to update hal http://dpaste.com/54772/   <--- help?
[15:52] <adamt> dbmoodb: what the fuck are you talking about? idiot
[15:52] <philsf> adamt: you didn't even bother to remove gutsy's kernel
[15:52] <subsume> install / update!
[15:53] <soundray> overdue...
[15:53] <dbmoodb> what...
[15:53] <jrib> adamt: please mind your manners.  Remember everyone here is a volunteer
[15:53] <Charbucks> were there any updates recently that might make nvidia-glx-new go crazy?  I've got a bunch of weird screen-tearing and every now and then the screen will freeze
[15:53] <adamt> philsf: so what's the problem with that? i updated, not my fault ubuntu didn't remove old kernels.
[15:53] <Slart> Charbucks: there were some kernel updates.. might have messed with the modules
[15:54] <hccmb> hmm, got to run, bye all , have an nice day!
[15:54] <hccmb> :P
[15:54] <Charbucks> Slart: I actually installed those this morning, after the tearing showed up
[15:54] <SpeedFleX> cya
[15:54] <joaopinto> ChaosTheory_, there was an update to nvidia-glx-new...
[15:54] <adamt> at least Slart recognises that someone made a bummer with the kernels :P
[15:54] <Slart> oh.. don't bring me into this..
[15:54] <Charbucks> Slart: if anything the kernel updates improve the situation, my system is mostly usable right now
[15:54] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure and associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[15:54] <philsf> adamt: apparently you didn't read enough documentation to know this is the expected behaviour, and surprisingly expect that bitching in a volunteer-based channel will help
[15:54] <jrib> adamt: all I can tell you is I had this same issue 5 minutes ago, with the same error complaining I was out of space.  I freed up space like you seem to have done, and removed the oldest kernel I had and it stopped the error
[15:55] <adamt> jrib: i already removed the oldest kernels =/
[15:55] <Slart> Charbucks: I also updated and I'm using the nvidia-glx-new module.. but no problems so far
[15:56] <jrib> adamt: what happens when you try to purge the latest one?
[15:56] <Charbucks> Slart: I'm entertaining the possibilty that my graphics card might be dying, because this happened out of the blue as far as I can tell...
[15:56] <gordonjcp> adamt: have you done anything else that might cause this problem?
[15:56] <Slart> Charbucks: have you checked the nvidia linux forums? just in case it's the nvidia driver .. I think that got updated too
[15:56] <gordonjcp> adamt: like maybe delete parts of the package manually?
[15:56] <adamt> gordonjcp: not unless using the graphical update-thingy, no
[15:56] <dbmoodb> gordonjcp: i did suggest that
[15:56] <Slart> Charbucks: en excuse to go out and buy a triple-SLI 9800 GTX ? ;)
[15:57] <Charbucks> Slart: I'll check it out, but the problem appeared before I updated
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Charbucks How about booting a livecd.. Do you think that will help determine if it is the problem
[15:57] <nikin> hy i have an intr cahtpack webcam wich does not work.... i tryed easycam and easyca 2 with no luck: lsusb tells me : n soon; if you'd like to donate early,
[15:57] <gordonjcp> adamt: incidentally, I just filled up my /boot partition, installed the new kernel update (which choked), freed up space in /boot and did "apt-get -f install" and it worked perfectly
[15:57] <nikin> n soon; if you'd like to donate early,
[15:57] <adamt> gordonjcp: lucky you
[15:57] <gordonjcp> adamt: so that suggests that there isn't a problem with the kernel packages
[15:57] <Charbucks> Jack_Sparrow: that might be a good idea.  I tried using the nv driver, and I got a "bad V_MOS checksum" warning in my Xorg.0.log.  Also, there's a new high-pitched whine coming from somewhere in the compy... so I'm thinking it's hardware
[15:58] <Oli``> Is anybody else noticing a lot of on-screen artefacts with the recent kernel/nvidia updates?
[15:58] <nikin> sorry
[15:58] <adamt> gordonjcp: yes, lucky you
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> nikin Did you look in the supported webcam link at easycam to see if your cam was one of those supported
[15:58]  * adamt finds a way to remove the packages manually
[15:58] <dbmoodb> Jack_Sparrow: no i think we need to test how 16X pci express nvidia cards work with ubuntu -- for research of course we need to see how they scale
[15:58] <Slart> Charbucks: graphics cards fan dying?
[15:58] <Charbucks> Oli``: yes, I'm just asking about the same problem!  I thought it was my hardware
[15:58] <magentar> is there a way to improve hard drive "scheduling" in hardy? whenever i do hard drive heavy operations, the whole dekstops gets a little slow and some applications hang for a few seconds. Does installing the linux-rt kernel help?
[15:58] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: easycam told me tht it is not.. and as i se it is a rebranded Labtec 2200
[15:59] <Oli``> Charbucks: I think there's something wonky in the update or compiz.. I assume you're using compiz too?
[15:59] <dbmoodb> magentar: try playing with hdparm
[15:59] <dbmoodb> and sdparm
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> dbmoodb So you dont think it is worth the time to boot a live cd to see if anything changes..
[15:59] <Charbucks> Slart: hmm... my cpu fan just slowed down and hte noise stopped, so it looks like that's the one
[15:59] <Slart> magentar: I don't think installing the rt kernel would help with that.. I think it's about managing bus bandwidth.. not processor usage.. just a thought
[15:59] <Charbucks> Oli``: I'm using compiz, but disabling it doesn't help
[15:59] <sirlark> hi, just installed postgres using sudo apt-get install. Where do I find the postgres superuser's username and password
[15:59] <dbmoodb> Jack_Sparrow: perhaps ---> get a 3rd opinion (go for it can't hurt)
[15:59] <magentar> dbmoodb, are there any specific options you are suggesting
[15:59] <magentar> i'll give you my hdparm output in a few secs
[16:00] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: 093a:2620 Pixart Imaging, Inc. ls usb returns this
[16:00] <dbmoodb> magnetron: no but google for some
[16:00] <magnetron> dbmoodb: wrong guy?
[16:00] <Charbucks> Oli``: do you also get the entire screen freezing sometimes, where you can move the mouse around but not click on anything or use the keyboard?
[16:00] <dbmoodb> too close nics sorry
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> nikin Did you look at our supported hardware wiki to see if anyone has gotten it to work and how they did it
[16:00] <Oli``> Charbucks: I just loaded Fusion-Icon and that restarted Compiz and it's all fixed here now... That may be because it's running on the latest GIT version of compiz though =\
[16:01] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure and associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[16:01] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: not yet ... a search on google for the name + ubuntu returned a french site only
[16:01] <Charbucks> Oli``: hmm... no, my problem isn't compiz-related as far as I can tell
[16:01] <Oli``> Charbucks: Yes, yes I do. I've reprogrammed my power button to restart GDM (works 99% of the time)
[16:01] <[newb]Miki> Hi all, i got a problem
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[16:01] <nikin> but i do not speak french
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[16:01] <magentar> Slart, i can do that with hdparm too, can't I?
[16:01] <[newb]Miki> with ati vid, someone 'helped' me out, but, it doesnt work, its even worse :(
[16:01] <Kl4m> linuxkrn: Can you post the output of ifconfig and iwconfig (pastebin.ca) ?
[16:02] <Charbucks> Oli``: I just give it a few seconds and it usually snaps out of it.  This problem only showed up about 2 hours ago though, it was fine last night and then I booted up this morning and it's messed
[16:02] <dav> how can i see the latest packages i installed?
[16:02] <Slart> magentar: hdparm's voodoo mostly works on IDE disks.. sata has something called sdparm.. but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of hdparm
[16:02] <legend2440> subsume: is this hardy?
[16:02] <magentar> Slart, I have a IDE drive, but in hardy it's under /dev/sda, can I use  hdparm on it?
[16:02] <Oli``> Charbucks: Oh I've been having proper lock-ups for months. Yeah mine never snaps out of it, hence I needed a low-level-GDM-resetter
[16:02] <linuxkrn> Kl4m: no really, no network connectivity, but I can tell you it shows signal strength, associated AP (mac address) and ifconfig show ip and tx/rx packets
[16:03] <Slart> magentar: yes.. I think so.. I haven't had an IDE drive in several years so I'm not sure though
[16:03] <amosPower> Halo... I need help in CHINESE FONTS (hardy), is this is the right forum
[16:03] <Charbucks> Oli``: ah, I see.  No, my card has been working just fine since I installed it in January or so
[16:03] <Kl4m> !cn
[16:03] <magentar> for some part it seems to work, but on the important options it gives me errors like  HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[16:03] <iratik> Whats a good tool for burning cds/dvds from the command line ?
[16:03] <amosPower> Thank you very much :)
[16:03] <Kl4m> amosPower: you could try #ubuntu-cn also
[16:04] <magentar> like DMA, UMASKINTR, KEEPSETTINGS
[16:04] <Slart> magentar: yup.. that's what it says when you try to use it on a SATA drive
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !fonts | amosPower
[16:04] <magentar> but physically it's an IDE drive...
[16:04] <benignbala> iratik: wodim is good
[16:04] <Slart> magentar: there's a switch to use the libata api.. check the man page
[16:04] <Charbucks> Oli``: I turned off compiz and this time I haven't gotten any tears for a while... maybe I'll try the svn version
[16:04] <magentar> k
[16:04] <Kl4m> linuxkrn: are you pinging from inside a virtual machine by any chance?
[16:05] <iratik> cdrkit?
[16:05] <iratik> wodim doesn't seem to be a package
[16:05] <linuxkrn> Kl4m: no, it's a laptop.  anything I ping show destination host unreachable.  But I show tx/rx on iwconfig/ifconfig
[16:05] <soundray> !info wodim | iratik
[16:06] <benignbala> iratik: But you can find debs for wodim definitely.
[16:06] <iratik> its in hardy.. thats why i can't find it
[16:06] <benignbala> iratik: but i think it comes by default.
[16:06] <soundray> !info wodim gutsy | iratik
[16:06] <amosPower> Halo to everyone :) I have problem in CHINESE FONTS display (hardy), can some one confirm this website is viewable in chinese. http://www.slideshare.net/flytee/linux-74244/
[16:06] <iratik> ubottu: got dapper
[16:06] <iratik> !info wodim dapper
[16:06] <Slart> amosPower: ask in #ubuntu-cn
[16:06] <Slart> amosPower: more chinese people there
[16:07] <amosPower> okey.. Thank you :)
[16:07] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: it is not on the list of supported devices
[16:07] <Slart> amosPower: you're welcome.. and good luck (I'd check it myself but I wouldn't know what to look for)
[16:07] <amosPower> oppes.. sorry :) wrong entry
[16:07] <linuxkrn> Kl4m: everything looks normal for iwconfig, essid, channel, bit rate, AP, link quality.  I also verified that the AP allows the laptop MAC.  (using WPA PSK TKIP) btw.
[16:07] <monkeyBox> How do I see my system's current DPI settings?
[16:07] <monkeyBox> (screen DPI)
[16:08] <Kl4m> amosPower: I'm installing chinese (using gnome-language-selector) to see how it goes
[16:08] <linuxkrn> monkeyBox: xdpyinfo | grep dots
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nikin I would suggest you sell off your cam to a windows user and buy a supported one.  I bought mine at Best Buy for $9 and it was plug and play... no driveres, everything worked including Skype Video
[16:09] <monkeyBox> linuxkrn, hmm  it seems to be giving it in  129x126...  how can I convert that to a single number (ie, 96dpi)
[16:09] <Charbucks> Oli``: are you also getting NVRM: Xid errors?
[16:09] <jocke>  /set irc_conf_mode OFF
[16:09] <jocke> oops
[16:09] <jocke> sorry
[16:10] <linuxkrn> monkeyBox: just means your pixels are not square.  I'd pick 129
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> jocke obvious typo.. not a problem
[16:10] <jocke> :)
[16:10] <iratik> How do I determine which physical drives are which /dev/hda , /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc ?
[16:10] <drewbert> Hello.  I have a dual boot set up between linux and windows where ntldr boots grub and grub boots ubuntu.  Grub and ubuntu are in the same partition.  My problem lies in the ubuntu does not shutdown cleanly.  It gives some messages about hal and dbus, but then the Xubuntu shutting down screen comes into focus and the shutting down bar will complete drain, but then after that no sign of progress is given.
[16:10] <jocke> Jack_Sparrow, you know how to remove yada yada joined the channel and yada yada quit
[16:10] <jocke> ?
[16:11] <jocke> in xchat
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> jocke right click the channel
[16:11] <jocke> aah
[16:11] <jocke> thanks man
[16:11] <jocke> haha
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[16:11] <jocke> it was so simple
[16:11] <FloodBot3> jocke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:11] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: i have an other working webcam .. wich i bought for 10$ ... but i m in search of one with a very large view are from close distance.... a little bit fish eye otics... if you get what i mean
[16:11] <jocke> Er...
[16:12] <soundray> iratik: if you run 'sudo fdisk -l', you should be able to tell by their total size
[16:12] <monkeyBox> hmm.. that can't be right... 129 seems too big.
[16:12] <linuxkrn> Kl4m: any other suggestions?
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> nikin Sort through the list of supported hardware, I am sure you will find what you need
[16:12] <iratik> soundray: Those are the hard disks ... not the cdrom/dvd/dvdwriter drives
[16:12] <nikin> Jack_Sparrow: thank you... i hope...
[16:12] <monkeyBox> Is there a way to see/change the DPI in gnome?
[16:13] <benignbala> iratik: hda is the primary master and hdb the primary slave
[16:13] <Charbucks> monkeyBox: System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Details
[16:13] <soundray> iratik: there was no way to tell from your question that that's what you were asking about. Try dmesg | grep -i cd
[16:13] <iratik> thats better
[16:13] <iratik>  dmesg | grep -i dvd
[16:13] <monkeyBox> Ok,  that says 96...  odd
[16:13] <noman__> can someone please quit
[16:14] <noman__> and come back
[16:14] <benignbala> \leave
[16:14] <Kl4m> linuxkrn: I'm out of ideas. You can't even ping the default gateway (router address) ?
[16:14] <noman__> ugh, only parting, i need to see a qui
[16:14] <noman__> t
[16:14] <monkeyBox> My issue is that firefox is making font size too big
[16:14] <noman__> ther we go
[16:14] <linuxkrn> Kl4m: correct, it I get host unreachable even on the gateway
[16:14] <MK_> hey can anyone point me to a howto for a remote syslog server?
[16:15] <monkeyBox> when I override layout.css.dpi in about:config  to be "96",   the font sizes become way too small :-p
[16:15] <ubuntugeek> Guys, how can I use wget to download the site? From example i need to download "www.xxx.yyy", i am typing "wget www.xxx.yyy" but it downloading only the main page (index.html), how can i download the hole site with each directorty and file from it?
[16:15] <linuxkrn> monkeyBox: try 129
[16:15] <fostot> ubuntugeek, well.... since you can only see what the webserver allows you to, you can always tell wget to recurse all links on the site and download them to
[16:16] <fostot> but you can't just magically have wget tell you every directory on the server unless it's a cleartext list of directories instead of a webpage
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> monkeyBox firefox..edit..pref..content.. set font size there?
[16:16] <linuxkrn> monkeyBox: that is what X server thinks your display is running, if it's incorrect, you need to modify the xorg.conf with the proper DPI.
[16:16] <soundray> ubuntugeek: use -r -- but be careful, combine it with other options, otherwise you might end up copying the Google index onto your computer. man wget
[16:17] <subsume> My upgrade (via update manager) of ubuntu failed to update hal http://dpaste.com/54772/   <--- help?
[16:17] <ubuntugeek> man wget is too long... i'll try to use -r
[16:17] <soundray> ubuntugeek: no, please!
[16:17] <fostot> ubuntugeek, get used to it if you plan on sticking with linux as an os ;)
[16:17] <fostot> lots of reading to be done
[16:17] <jonaskoelker> <--- needs help with uim. I install uim-xim, uim-skk, uim-anthy (et al.); export XMODIFIERS="@im=uim"; xterm & but shift-space and C-j just does a self-insert in my xterm.  How do I get japanese input in all xterm (and later all xim/qt/gtk apps)?
[16:17] <soundray> ubuntugeek: you should also ask the site admin whether you are allowed to get recursively
[16:17] <hwilde> hi I am trying to reach my computer via the hostname but it's not working.  how does ubuntu register the hostname for dns?
[16:18] <hwilde> when a computer grabs a dhcp address, does it register with the domain?
[16:18] <ubuntugeek> hmm, is seems to be downloading... thank you much all
[16:18] <ubuntugeek> * it seems
[16:18] <jonaskoelker> hwilde: not sure what you mean, but I think it depends on the dhcp server
[16:19] <fostot> actually it depends on the router firmware you are using, some will see the dhcp request and register a dns entry to point to that dhcp ip from the computer name, but most do not (at least not that i have seen)
[16:20] <jonaskoelker> hwilde: or, if you mean something else, have a look in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and the dhclient manual; ISTR that one can optionally send a hostname
[16:20] <monkeyBox> linuxkrn, I'm thinking it's a bug in firefox, since it only seems to be happening in firefox.  All my other apps seem to work fine as far as font sizes go
[16:20] <soundray> ubuntugeek: you will need to spend some time with man wget, otherwise your local mirror will be unusable
[16:20] <ganapathy> monkeyBox: Bug in firefox ? Means eveyone who used that version should be having it right?
[16:21] <legend2440> subsume: open system>admin>users and groups.  under manage groups do you see group called haldaemon?
[16:21] <ubuntugeek> i don't need mirror, i just need several files which is too long to download with browser
[16:21] <peter_> update ubuntu is too slow,I'm becoming tired of it
[16:21] <Slart> peter_: use a local mirror then
[16:21] <soundray> ubuntugeek: the -i option may be better for your purpose
[16:22] <mojo__> hello everyone, has anyone heard of Luminocity? http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots  What pity that it's seems to be inactive right now, I just miss the Cairo theming
[16:22] <jonaskoelker> ubuntugeek: why don't you just wget them specifically?
[16:22] <Belial> peter_: might want to look at a lighter window manager, try xubuntu or nother distro based on xfce, what specs are your machine?
[16:23] <beggar> oh boy. my ubuntu laptop (specifically, the optical drive) has been giving me FITS today.
[16:23] <iruga> list
[16:23] <Awsoonn> can someone point me to a gnome-hackers irc channel somewhere?
[16:23] <vahid> I need a programing tools like visual basic OR delphi for ubuntu
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> iruga We dont serve files here
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !piracy
[16:24] <beggar> I cannot open/close the drive without using the terminal
[16:24] <Charbucks> Awsoonn: #gnome-hackers on irc.gnome.org
[16:24] <Awsoonn> vahid: give eclipse or Kdevelope a shot
[16:24] <beggar> and any discs that are inserted come up blank
[16:24] <monkeyBox> ganapathy, the reason I say that is b/c of this:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/201487
[16:24] <Awsoonn> charbucks, Thanks~
[16:24] <Daisuke-Laptop> vahid: don't forget anjuta
[16:25] <peter_> Hi,everybody,is there anyone want to make friend with me,I'm from China
[16:25] <beggar> exhausted the search on the ubuntu forums, no help. google search does nothing either.
[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot | peter_
[16:25] <vahid> tanks a lot to all KISSSSSSSSSSSSSs
[16:25] <ganapathy> monkeyBox: Oh. okie.
[16:26] <beggar> my /etc/fstab looks right.. i have no clue what to do.
[16:26] <hwilde> jonaskoelker, you're right it's in the dhclient.conf    send hostname is commented out by default
[16:27] <beggar> (keep in mind that while I have been using ubuntu for ~6 months, my knowledge of linux is very very small)
[16:27] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, I saw someone with your nick playing some silly tank capture the flag game lol was that you
[16:27] <phoenix3051> Can any tell me where the "run in terminal" option is in ubuntu when creating a custom launcher?
[16:27] <beggar> anyone here have any experience in optical drives becoming stubborn as mules overnight?
[16:28] <Frogzoo> phoenix3051: use 'gnome-terminal -e command..."
[16:28] <dubby> hey anyone, I have a ssh tunnel to a server at work, and then there are windows computers that have samba shares, and I can view them through the ssh tunnel with smbclient, I was wondering if there was a way to make those shares mount locally
[16:28] <Belial> beggar: have you tried booting a known correct live CD, see if it isnt a hardware problem
[16:28] <phoenix3051> Frogzoo: Thanks
[16:28] <legend2440> phoenix3051: in the dropdown box "Run in terminal"
[16:28] <Frogzoo> dubby: smb4k is easiest
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hwilde Not me
[16:28] <dubby> i can mount shares on my local net easily, I just wondering if there was a way through an ssh tunnel
[16:28] <elmer> Guys, you know the WiFi/Network configuration tool? What is the terminal command to run that?
[16:29] <Frogzoo> dubby: it's just the same..
[16:29] <beggar> Belial: I will try
[16:29] <Belial> dubby: should be able to do it via ssh port forwarding, look into the ports samba uses and google it up, the syntax is ssh user@host -P localport:networkdevice:remoteport
[16:29] <dubby> ah port forward it thanx
[16:29] <dubby> :-)
[16:29] <Belial> np :p
[16:30] <jonaskoelker> would anyone help me a little with uim?  I'm trying to input japanese in xterm; I've googled for guide, which all say the same.  I follow them, nothing happens
[16:30] <philsf> elmer try network-admin
[16:30] <phoenix3051> Legend2440: I can't see any drop down box when configuring the launcher that has "Run in terminal" is there something I need to configure, I'm running a clean ubunutu hardy installation.
[16:31] <beggar> Belial: I have a winxp disk around, it will go to the blue setup screen.
[16:31] <elmer> philsf, that's it! Thanks!
[16:31] <dubby> is there a way to add port forwards, after a connection is established?
[16:31] <ASULutzy> Wow, 1300 people hang out here? Maybe this'll make the work day go faster ;)
[16:32] <dubby> or is that a rtm
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !hi | ASULutzy
[16:32] <ASULutzy> (:
[16:32] <james_> Can you help me?
[16:32] <lavida> holas
[16:32] <legend2440> phoenix3051: try this right click on desktop choose Create Launcher. now see the Type box? choose Application in terminal. is that there?
[16:32] <james_> i need help
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[16:33] <james_> I've installed Kompozer but i can't find it
[16:33] <lavida> problem with wlan0, i loose it, when i type ifconfig in terminal window i cant see it anymore
[16:33] <Belial> beggar: maybe make an image of a disk and then check dmesg for errors? try 'sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null;dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disc.iso;dmesg' replacing sda with the device your cdrom occupies, it will take a long time but would see if your getting any read errors etc
[16:33] <makavely> hi,can anyone help,i fixed ububtu to my computer which slowed it tremendously.I love it n i don wonna change kindly advice how i can improve it
[16:33] <joaopinto> james_, how did you install it ?
[16:33] <greg_universe> can anyoen reccomend any aps that help with learnign mathmatic concepts?
[16:33] <legend2440> phoenix3051: are you creating new launcher or trying to edit existing one?
[16:33] <james_> by downloading the package
[16:33] <james_> off the website
[16:33] <jonaskoelker> lavida: I would try rebooting.  If you recently installed a new kernel, try booting the old one
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> james_ try applictions..access.. terminal  and type kompozer etc
[16:33] <lavida> also, i can see my wi fi network connection in network window
[16:34] <james_> k
[16:34] <Divinemonkey> Does anyone know a good music tagger? I've yet to find a decent one in linux, which is why i'm still dual booting with windows for mediamonkey...Using Amarok at the minute but it has no autotagger, only from musicbrainz which doesn't work with mp3's apparently =(
[16:34] <joaopinto> james_, have you tried to run "kompozer" from the terminal ?
[16:34] <phoenix3051> lengend2440: your a star I've been banging my head of the wall for days trying to change it once I had created the launcher but creating an new one and there it is.
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> james_ was it a deb for ubuntu?
[16:34] <james_> 1 sec
[16:34] <jonaskoelker> lavida: .. or check that the driver module is loaded (with lsmod), if you know what to look for
[16:34] <jonaskoelker> lavida: can you make connection via the card?
[16:34] <lavida> no
[16:34] <james_> What do I type to get it?
[16:34] <lavida> im going throu windows XP right now :(
[16:35] <james_> yes
[16:35] <james_> it was a .deb
[16:35] <james_> and started in the installer
[16:35] <jammanbo> Anybody able to get Firefox 2 and 3 installed alongside each other?
[16:35] <lavida> im installed windows drivers via ndisgtk for DWL-G510 wireless card
[16:35] <joaopinto> jammanbo, yes, just install the firefox-2 package
[16:35] <beggar> Belial: just got some rather weird error messages. might be a hardware issue after all. want me to msg you my return?
[16:35] <alesan> hi, since an update last night my bluetotth adapter is not working anymore
[16:36] <alesan> any hint on this?
[16:36] <lavida> i dont see anything happend in device drivers or something like that
[16:36] <jammanbo> joaopinto: Wont work. Whenever 3 is installed (after reboot) it runs 3 even when I invoke /user/bin/firefox-2/
[16:36] <Belial> beggar: drop it into pastebin.ca and paste the link here, better than a pm, then everyone can see :
[16:37] <debian> Is there a program that can convert .dv movie to mpeg using two cores?
[16:37] <beggar> sure thing
[16:37] <jonaskoelker> lavida: I have lost my windows-fu; can't help you with that side
[16:37] <joaopinto> james_, when you have one of the version already open the other will just open a new session, not a new browser app
[16:37] <james_> huh?
[16:37] <joaopinto> ops, was for jammanbo , sorry
[16:37] <beggar> http://pastebin.ca/1038702
[16:37] <james_> I can't even open it
[16:37] <alec_> im having trouble connecting to the internet wirelessly. it worked no problem until yesterday, now i have to plug in. any suggestions?
[16:37] <ASULutzy> debian: I'm actually curious about how well mencoder uses multiple cores. I was recently encoding a video using x264 on my quad core at home and my CPU usage never got above 200% (of 400%)
[16:38] <lavida> i dont know how to make again to see wlan0 when i type ifconfig hum
[16:38] <james_> 1 min
[16:38] <james_> i think i got it
[16:38] <debian> ASULutzy: So it supports two cores?
[16:38] <lavida> also i installed wicd software, but of course it doesnt work because i cant set my settings
[16:38] <jammanbo> joaopinto: And the solution? DOI I need to hack the launch scripts if I want both versions running simultaneously?
[16:38] <eross> arrghghg.. why is it everytime I do a kernel update (now at .18), it skrews up my nvidia settings and i'm at 640x480
[16:38] <kuca> je tu nekdo kdo by mi mohl poradit s instalaci mysql  a apache serveru
[16:39] <james_> i give up
[16:39] <joaopinto> jammanbo, I guess yes
[16:39] <jammanbo> grr
[16:39] <jammanbo> THanks
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !cz | kuca
[16:39] <ASULutzy> debian: It was weird. When I used mencoder like I said, it gave 200% CPU usage of 400%, but the load was split among all 4 cores. My guess is that the filtering was bottlenecking the CPU. But yes, you can do almost any type of video editing through command line with mencoder
[16:39] <genii> Jack_Sparrow: I think it might be !it
[16:39] <jonaskoelker> could anyone help me with uim?
[16:39] <lastelement1> hey all, im trying to get my sound to work and ive been reinstalling alsa yet my alsa-utils are stuck at .15 when .16 is the newest
[16:39] <eross> i've rebooted my system 5 times now trying to get nvidia drivers working
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> genii I was going by his ip
[16:40] <jonaskoelker> eross: do they work if you boot your old kernel?
[16:40] <derspankster> eross, DVI video connection?
[16:40] <debian> ASULutzy: Any frontend for mencoder?
[16:41] <eross> haven't tried it yet
[16:41] <lastelement1> Jack_Sparrow: do u think u could aid me with my sound problem?
[16:41] <Belial> beggar: looks like hardware problem im afrid, its having trouble seeking
[16:41] <elmer> This may sound stupid, but is there a command that logs you out and goes back to GDM?
[16:41] <jonaskoelker> elmer: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[16:41] <Belial> beggar: also its helpful to put the person your speaking to's name prefixing what you say, it highlights it on the other side, almost lost your reply in the chatter :)
[16:41] <jonaskoelker> elmer: as root
[16:41] <ASULutzy> debian: Yes, I believe so, though I've never liked them as much as just using the command line with a nice Wiki article or something to follow... AcidRip, Freevo, Konverter, and OGMRip are all Mencoder frontends I believe
[16:41] <elmer> OK
[16:42] <jonaskoelker> elmer: there may be more graceful ways to do it, though
[16:42] <joaopinto> elmargol, you can kill your X session with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[16:42] <joaopinto> ops, was elmer
[16:42] <jonaskoelker> joaopinto: gotta' love the tab completion :)
[16:42] <joaopinto> :P
[16:42] <dav> what algorithm is /etc/shadow using for encrypting passwords?
[16:42] <alec_> i cant connect to the internet wirelessly, can anyone help?
[16:43] <Bits> will upgrading 7.1 to 8.04 involve any issues?
[16:43] <Bits> i.e. will it keep my desktop, files, everything?
[16:43] <beggar> Belial: ha, wouldn't you believe the laptop's warranty went out around two weeks ago. oh well, could be worse all in all. thanks a bunch for the response, i can quit crying over spilled milk i suppose.
[16:43] <Jack_Sparrow> lastelement1 Not now, but I can suggest... Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.
[16:44] <jonaskoelker> alec_: do a pastebin of /etc/network/interfaces and the outputs of sudo lshw -vv, lsmod and ifconfig; that'll help people see what's going on on your system
[16:44] <arno-t> hi all When I enter the command "route" sometimes it takes ages before anything comes up. any idea why this could be? Sometimes it's lightning quick...
[16:44] <joaopinto> dav, if I am not mistaken, md5
[16:44] <Belial> beggar: sods law, sorry mate
[16:44] <jonaskoelker> arno-t: try route -n
[16:44] <Belial> beggar: maybe try a lens head cleaner
[16:44] <jonaskoelker> arno-t: if that's faster, route is waiting to resolve names for IP addresses but fails
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> beggar Being that close.. if you press them they will fix it...  It had to be on its way before now..
[16:44] <arno-t> wow ok yes that's the case.
[16:45] <jonaskoelker> is it really true that no one in here has the foggiest clue on configuring uim?
[16:45] <alec_> jonasskoelker: ok, im new to linux and dont know what im doing so, is it a s simple as putting that into a terminal?
[16:45] <arno-t> Can I just add "fake" entries for those gateways (they are always the same) in /etc/hosts then?
[16:45] <beggar> Jack_Sparrow it's possible, but from past experiences, it may almost be worth taking the hit and buying a new drive from the market instead of dealing with Dell's tech support, lol
[16:46] <jonaskoelker> alec_: put into a terminal "sudo lshw -vv > ~/file1.txt", then open file1.txt in your favorite editor, select all, copy; open some pastebin (google pastebin), paste the contents, post the url
[16:46] <jonaskoelker> alec_: repeat for the other two commands and for the file /etc/network/interfaces
[16:46] <jonaskoelker> oh, for the pastebin, use paste.ubuntu.com :)
[16:46] <jonaskoelker> alec_: so sayeth the topic
[16:47] <debian> ASULutzy: I can't get it to utilize two cores with any of the frontends...
[16:47] <fahadsadah> How do I get the username of the current user at the command line?
[16:48] <ASULutzy> debian: Yea, I'm not a fan of the frontends, anytime I rip or convert video files I always just use mencoder from the command line. There you can specify the number of threads you'd like it to use. Maybe just google a howto on how to rip/encode/convert using mencoder, in the long run I think it'll definitely be worth it
[16:48] <minion35> does any one have problems using cedega with 8.04?
[16:48] <aless> hi, im getting defective display of menus when using netbeans 6.1 on ubuntu 8.04 (with visual effects on). Is there any work around for this?
[16:48] <fahadsadah> Nope.
[16:48] <debian> ASULutzy: It is soo difficult using command line...
[16:48] <jonaskoelker> fahadsadah: echo $USER
[16:49] <jonaskoelker> fahadsadah: or run `whoami'
[16:49] <fahadsadah> Oh, damn
[16:49] <fahadsadah> Forgot about that one =]
[16:49] <fahadsadah> whoainti it is
[16:49] <alec_> i think this may be above my skill level, but thanks for the help
[16:49] <ASULutzy> debian: heh, I don't think so. There are so many very well written howto's on doing things with mencoder that it basically becomes nothing more than copy pasting
[16:50] <ASULutzy> debian: But again, I'm not an expert on mencoder frontends, perhaps someone else here could suggest a better application
[16:50] <dury> hi there channel :)
[16:50] <dury> Good on Ubuntu, working successfully
[16:51] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure it, associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything including default gw.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[16:51] <dury> but I prefer other distro
[16:51] <Lattyware> hmmm... getting the error 'dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `mlocate' in statoverride file / E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)' from apt. Any ideas?
[16:51] <rhilton> Has anyone tried and succeeded in making the new Google Gadgets for linux work?
[16:51] <dury> it's so easy
[16:52] <joaopinto> dury, do you have a support question ? this is not a general chat channel...
[16:52] <dury> joaopinto: sorry
[16:52] <dury> ubuntu it's great
[16:53] <joaopinto> !ot | dury
[16:53] <rhilton> Is the libcurl in the ubuntu repo compiled against openssl?
[16:53] <dury> actually I'm using it
[16:53] <dury> sorry channel :(
[16:53] <joaopinto> rhilton, the last time I have checked it, yes
[16:53] <rhilton> weird
[16:53] <dury> not kidding
[16:53] <rhilton> i'm having the problem mentioned here: http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/issues/detail?id=104
[16:54] <rhilton> trying to get google gadgets to work
[16:54] <dury> believe me
[16:54] <rhilton> but the only known cause of the problem is: "The problem is: libcurl allows customized certificate checking if it is built with OpenSSL, but not with NSS (Fedora 9's libcurl). We can only either accept all certificates (which we don't want to do) or deny all mismatched certificates for libcurl+NSS. "
[16:54] <jonaskoelker> ah funk it...
[16:54] <joaopinto> rhilton, ldd /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3
[16:54] <denreaper> does anyone know the default mysql directory (where it stores the databases)?

[16:56] <manchicken> Anybody else notice that their SSH key authentication stopped working not too long ago?
[16:56] <ASULutzy> orion1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH was helpful when I set up VNC
[16:56] <Steve_Wilkos> a bot that kicks you, or your bot that gets kicked*
[16:56] <jambooda> Hey, Does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu Server on Dell PowerEdge R805
[16:56] <Steve_Wilkos> kl4m: no, it's a laptop. anything i ping show destination host unreachable. but i show tx/rx on iwconfig/ifconfig
[16:56] <Mander> What is the best place to find out if a hardware modem will work with Ubuntu? The model I am looking at is, according to the box, 3dex Sweex 56k PCI V.92 with Ambient Hardware. Nothing useful on the manufacturer's page or anywhere else that I can find.
[16:56] <jambooda> I'm particularly looking for compatibility info
[16:56] <manchicken> I can't seem to get SSH key auth to work, and I know that I've got the keys and permissions set up correctly.
[16:56] <rhilton> I don't get it.. why does google gadgets not work?
[16:56] <Steve_Wilkos> can someone help me?
[16:56] <Steve_Wilkos> that's hard
[16:56] <tty666> i was using gutsy which have no problem to load my dwl g650 dlink wlan card(chipset atheros), with the madwifi-ng, until the update to hardy version! wtf ? :s
[16:56] <Steve_Wilkos> magentar: yup.. that's what it says when you try to use it on a sata drive
[16:56] <rhilton> I know that Google internally uses ubuntu, so this is perplexing
[16:56] <manchicken> rhilton: That isn't true.
[16:56] <kjnelan_> could someone please point me to a faq or wiki for irc in general. (I.e. commands that can be used, joining, config, etc...)  Thanks in advance.
[16:56] <alex3f> Hi, ubuntu 8.04, php5, pdo, sqlite problem, tried on #sqlite, ##php, need help: http://pastebin.com/m4bbd8793
[16:57] <rhilton> It's not?  I thought they used an internally maintained ubuntu derivative
[16:57] <manchicken> rhilton: Some Google developers use it, but not all, and it's not anything official.
[16:57] <rhilton> you work there?
[16:58] <manchicken> And most of the Google developers dual-boot or use two machines so that they can still use windows.
[16:58] <manchicken> rhilton: Used to.
[16:58] <rhilton> ah. why'd ya leave?
[16:58] <elmer> I'm using openbox, and the GNOME desktop icons are coming up. They cover Conky and don't allow me to use openbox's right-click app menu. How can I fix this?
[16:58] <Steve_Wilkos> i want to join german irc servers from a german browser game , but i can not join them because of the network?can somebody help me pls :)
[16:58] <tty666> why hardy didn't detect outofbox my wlan pcmcia card  (not in lspci, dmesg, elsewhere...) ?  please
[16:59] <Steve_Wilkos> isn't that 0-1 speed?
[16:59] <manchicken> rhilton: Contrary to common misconception, Google isn't such a great place to work for everybody.  Only the folks in California and in the new European offices really seem to enjoy working for them.
[16:59] <rhilton> interesting
[16:59] <Infinito_> manchicken, if I may ask, do people there used windows because they needed to or just because they prefered to ?
[16:59] <arno-t> jonaskoelker, I added the static ip's to the /etc/hosts and "route" speeds up a bit. I tried wiresharking my connection; everything seems so clear now. Even so clear I can see my company's dns isn't working very well... :) (wins/dns mix :( )
[16:59] <manchicken> Infinito_: There are many who want to, but those who don't do so because they need to.
[17:00] <Steve_Wilkos> it's a sekrit
[17:00] <Infinito_> hmm, I see
[17:00] <manchicken> Infinito_: Lots of webex and powerpoint.
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[17:01] <Ravenkin> Is there a way to see what hardware I have in my computer using ubuntu?
[17:01] <Infinito_> hmm, not many good linux options there really
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> lshw
[17:02] <usicow> how can I see the size of my swap partition?
[17:02] <dav> how can i see the latest packages i installed?
[17:02] <ASULutzy> usicow: sudo swapon -s
[17:03] <RamSaravana> hi
[17:03] <manchicken> Infinito_: I like OOo Impress for presentations.  For webex type stuff there isn't much in the way of options there.  Webex is crap, and it screws up even the best configured of win32 machine.  I'm happy just using vnc.
[17:03] <vlad> hi ppl there is a way to recover the system after "white screen"?, i installed ati with envy and just got white screen after reboot
[17:03] <RamSaravana> windows vista is the best
[17:03] <elmer> I'm using openbox, and the GNOME desktop icons are coming up. They cover Conky and don't allow me to use openbox's right-click app menu. How can I fix this?
[17:03] <usicow> ASULutzy: cool, thanks. I've installed more ram into my laptop, so now I've got 1.5GB of ram, but my partition is only 1.2GB. How can I resize the swap partition?
[17:03] <ASULutzy> vlad: boot into recovery mode and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and have it use the software "vesa" driver
[17:03] <j800r> does anyone know how to remove/uninstall xgl. it's hogging my resources and i need to get rid of it
[17:04] <Steve_Wilkos> a band
[17:04] <PrivateRolf> Custom kernels are annoying
[17:04] <PrivateRolf> but worth it
[17:04] <PrivateRolf> ;_;
[17:04] <suitengusaiga> I'm trying to find the input volume control for a USB microphone.  The device is a Logitech webcam.  I know that the microphone device is mounted at /dev/dsp1, but I was wondering how to change the input volume when I point a program towards it.
[17:04] <laeg> RamSaravana: did you just join this channel to say 'windows vista is the best'?
[17:04] <Steve_Wilkos> np
[17:04] <Steve_Wilkos> minhaaj: oh... in the taskbar?
[17:05] <Awsoonn> is there a ubuntu-dev channel I should ask more technical questions?
[17:05] <laeg> !windows | RamSaravana
[17:05] <PrivateRolf> Suiten: Right click the speaker icon in the taskbar
[17:05] <hanasaki> what can i install that will play the stuff on this URL in the browser?  http://www.adata-group.com/EN/
[17:05] <Steve_Wilkos> other than that, i love kubuntu
[17:05] <ASULutzy> usicow: I would say try gparted... I've never used it, I usually just use fdisk for everything, but I'm not sure that's so good at actually resizing partitions. It's not like your swap partition has to 100% match the amount of RAM you have... Maybe someone else here can offer better advice on using gparted
[17:05] <Yatas> anybody here uses paypal ?
[17:05] <PrivateRolf> Yatas: Yes
[17:05] <Yatas> PrivateRolf
[17:05] <mmiski> i use paypal

[17:05] <Yatas> musti own a visa or mastercard in order to sign up on paypal ?
[17:05] <PrivateRolf> Yes?
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> Yes?
[17:06] <suitengusaiga> PrivateRolf: Ok, got it
[17:06] <Treefire> Yatas: You can sign up, but you won't be able to put any money in there.
[17:06] <iwkse> is there any usplash dev around?
[17:06] <suitengusaiga> PrivateRolf, then what?
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> Um, input volume should go up
[17:06] <freschum> Hi, how can I exclude a DNS server being added to /etc/resolv.conf?
[17:06] <linuxkrn> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and I can configure it, associate to the AP, but cannot ping anything including default gw.  Any suggestions on a fix?
[17:06] <Yatas> TreeFire , why ?
[17:06] <Steve_Wilkos> lol
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> I would personally raise all the bars up
[17:06] <RamSaravana> ubotto: thanks for the suggestion...but windows xp doesn't have ny problems like ubuntu....
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> And uncheck any boxes
[17:06] <Steve_Wilkos> under skirt adventure
[17:06] <Treefire> Yatas: Because you need a credit... oh, are you asking if other kinds of credit cards work?
[17:06] <orion1> Does anyone have a working .vnc/xstartup file that loads gnome i cant seem to get mine to work?
[17:06] <Cyndre_work> Have a problem with a windows shared network printer.  It is printing fine, but if I don't cancel the job, it will keep printing
[17:06] <Yatas> yes
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> YATAS: You can use a bank account
[17:06] <PrivateRolf> I do
[17:06] <Steve_Wilkos> like them as specific people, not as black women
[17:06] <Yatas> will my bank account work ?
[17:07] <PrivateRolf> YATAS: yes
[17:07] <magnetron> linuxkrn: make sure you're not on the same frequency/ channel as your neighbours
[17:07] <Treefire> Yatas: Paypal accepts almost any kind of anything so long as they get money from you.
[17:07] <Yatas> without the need of having a visa or mastercard ?
[17:07] <orion1> PrivateRolf: will you pastebin it to me?
[17:07] <Treefire> Yatas: Yes.
[17:07] <PrivateRolf> Yatas: It will take a couple of days until Paypal will let you buy stuff
[17:07] <mmiski> LOL, give me your bank account and I'll figure it out for yah ;-)
[17:07] <linuxkrn> magnetron: I'm not, all my other boxes work too, just fyi
[17:07] <Yatas> sure mmiski
[17:07] <PrivateRolf> Orion: pastebin?
[17:07] <Yatas> here it is
[17:07] <suitengusaiga> PrivateRolf:  Well, I can hear the device, but I want to turn the volume down.  There's a microphone slide, but I think that's for /dev/dsp, the regular jack.
[17:07] <usicow> ASULutzy: My problem is that I use hibernate, but I think since I put the additional ram in it doesnt work and I'm forced to just reboot manually.. to use hibernate on my laptop do I need the swap partition to be at least the size of the ram?
[17:08] <orion1> privateRolf: w/e you want to use so that i can see you .vnc/xstartup file.
[17:08] <noob69> help my update manager is not working
[17:08] <magnetron> usicow: yes,
[17:08] <Yatas> treefire , are you using ur mastercard or visa ? on paypal ?
[17:08] <usicow> magnetron: ok, then I've got to use gparted to resize it I guess :)
[17:08] <ASULutzy> usicow: Ah, didn't think of that. I'd say mess around with gparted, sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
[17:08] <StuntMan> HP d2545 printer... anyone have this particular printer working with linux....  if so please pm me...
[17:08] <Ravenkin> Is there a way to see hardware in your system using ubuntu something akin to device manager?
[17:08] <orion1> Ravenkin: lspci
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot | Yatas
[17:09] <usicow> ASULutzy: nah thats cool.. you were helpful :)
[17:09] <mds_> how to check and sure that the port is not blocked by any firewall on the ubuntu system
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Ravenkin lshw
[17:09] <Steve_Wilkos> i shower daily, he's questionable
[17:09] <Yatas> jack_sparrow, you'll pay for this..

[17:09] <Ravenkin> Thank you
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Yatas Please stop
[17:09] <dereks> ho. I want to change the MOTD to be the output of a command
[17:09] <dereks> is that possible?
[17:10] <noob69> error msg. "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
[17:10] <Mattehluzr> dereks, with new output every time?
[17:10] <noob69> "E: _cache->open() failed, please report."
[17:10] <dereks> Mattehluzr: yeah
[17:10] <orion1> noob69: do what it says and it will fix it.
[17:10] <Mattehluzr> dereks, try using a cron job
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> noob69 Open a terminal  run 'dpkg --configure -a'
[17:10] <dereks> Mattehluzr: is that the only way?
[17:10] <orion1> When i run vncserver i am not getting gnome to start up
[17:10] <noob69> i did but it is asking me su
[17:10] <Mattehluzr> dereks, no, but it's easiest
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> noob69 Have you modified any sources?
[17:11] <dereks> Mattehluzr: :) what is the harder?
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> noob69 sudo dpkg
[17:11] <KinkyBlackGoat> I can't kill a process which was running a script off of a mounted partition - trying to do anything (lsof, ls, umount) to this partition locks the given operation - any ideas as to how to fix this or find the problem without simply rebooting? I've never had any problems like this before.
[17:11] <noob69> i was updating and computer frooze on me
[17:11] <Mattehluzr> you REALLY don't want something modifying /etc/motd every time you login..that is dangerous
[17:11] <Steve_Wilkos> hi all, got an intel 4945 wireless onboard nic on my laptop, ubuntu sees it and i can configure it, associate to the ap, but cannot ping anything including default gw. any suggestions on a fix?
[17:11] <orion1> noob69 you have to type sudo su
[17:11] <orion1> or just sudo the command
[17:11] <KinkyBlackGoat> of course it may help to mention this partition is NTFS
[17:11] <orion1> Does anyone have a .vnc/xstartup file that loads gnome that they would like to share with me?
[17:11] <Mattehluzr> dereks, if you want the much harder method..modify the login process
[17:12] <harushimo> how can I access the plugin directory for firefox
[17:12] <PrivateRolf> KINKY: have you tried xkill in the terminal
[17:12] <harushimo> I can't see to find it
[17:12] <linuxkrn> orion1: to start gnome, run "gnome-session"
[17:12] <Steve_Wilkos> can anyone help me with removing xgl on ubuntu hardy? :|
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> orion1 sudo su isnt the best choice
[17:12] <Mattehluzr> dereks, outside of that, consider adjusting a few scripts
[17:12] <RamSaravana> can any one say, how to configure arm cross compiler in ubuntu..?
[17:12] <dereks> Mattehluzr: there is no inbetween?
[17:12] <dereks> Mattehluzr: any scripts in particular...?
[17:13] <KinkyBlackGoat> PrivateRolf: uhm.. given it's not associated with a window, no, I did kill -9 PID (which happens to be 13435 in this case)
[17:13] <noob69> what does 'sudo' stand for
[17:13] <Steve_Wilkos> listening to pearl jam better man
[17:13] <Mattehluzr> dereks, umm, profile scripts, environment scripts, etc
[17:13] <orion1> noob69: man sudo. ....
[17:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[17:13] <Mattehluzr> dereks, I suggest you check http://www.tldp.org/ and look for "From Power Up To Bash Prompt"
[17:13] <AlexW23> hey
[17:13] <Mattehluzr> dereks, that should give you most of what you need
[17:13] <AlexW23> is there a nokia pc suite for ubuntu
[17:13] <Steve_Wilkos> steal your moms credit card drgmfrk
[17:13] <noob69> thanks for the info.
[17:13] <Jack_Sparrow> noob69 see also gksudo for running gui apps
[17:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[17:14] <ASULutzy> Steve_Wilkos: Can't you just sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl ?
[17:14] <mmiski> Hey, I'd like to build a  cheap box for Ubuntu, I'd like to play WoW.  Does anyone know off hand which Nvidia card is good to use (I wont get ATI again - ugh)
[17:14] <Steve_Wilkos> he shouldve gone to the house
[17:14] <Mattehluzr> dereks, like I said..if you want the real hard method, modify login.c from util-linux or something
[17:14] <orion1> linuxkrn: i have that in there. Does this look right? http://pastebin.ca/1038729
[17:14] <Steve_Wilkos> may i have a darkrai
[17:14] <KinkyBlackGoat> mmiski: do a little googling and you should find a list of supported nvidia cards.. 8800 gts is one I know of (simply because I use it)
[17:15] <tty666> why hardy didn't detect outofbox my wlan pcmcia card  (not in lspci, dmesg, elsewhere...) ?  please
[17:15] <mmiski> KinkyBlackGoat, Thanks
[17:15] <ironfoot_495> Can someone help me with some php code that not working right?
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tty666 Did you check the list of supported hardware?
[17:15] <ironfoot_495> or tell me where I can find help?
[17:15] <magnetron> tty666: is your card supported in Linux?
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ironfoot_495 YOu need to ask in a php room
[17:16] <orion1> irionfoot_495: you can pm me or join ##php
[17:16] <linuxkrn> orion1: you might try to comment out the unset SESSION_MANAGER and the xterm.
[17:16] <Mattehluzr> now for my Q: can someone with large experience with `sudo` please explain to me how to change it's behaviour back to it's original functionality?
[17:16] <ironfoot_495> also is there a way to tweek ubuntu 8.04?
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Mattehluzr It holds sudo for 15 minutes
[17:16] <tty666> Yes yes, it's a dlink wlan card (dwl g650)
[17:16] <Mattehluzr> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, I don't like that..I want to change it
[17:16] <ASULutzy> ironfoot_495: You can edit anything and everything in Ubuntu! :P
[17:16] <ironfoot_495> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:17] <magnetron> ironfoot_495: yes, there are millions of ways.
[17:17] <PentarexBG> bring3: hy m8
[17:17] <PentarexBG> bring3:  :)
[17:17] <tty666> jack-desktop, with gutsy this is supported outofbox.
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Mattehluzr man sudo.. there is a way to turn it off when you are done
[17:17] <AlexW23> is there a nokia pc suite for ubuntu
[17:17] <PentarexBG> hey guys how do i install quake 3 for linux
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !find quake
[17:17] <Mattehluzr> Jack_Sparrow, I just want sudo to behave the same way it does with every other distro
[17:18] <ironfoot_495> well there is some problems with my tecommand terminal and sound does'nt seem to wqork all the time and I seem to have lost my auto update?
[17:18] <prower> Hello :> For anyone familiar with iptables, is there any way of constructing a rule that will essentially forward a sent package back to the address that sent it?
[17:18] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, sudo behaves just as any other distro
[17:18] <PentarexBG> Jack_Sparrow: what this mean
[17:18] <Mattehluzr> joaopinto, sadly, it doesn't appear that way
[17:18] <joaopinto> what behaves differente, is the root account
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Mattehluzr then man sudo and change it...
[17:18] <Mattehluzr> okay
[17:19] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, what do you need from sudo that you are unable to achieve right now ?
[17:19] <harushimo> I need to reinstall flash...how do remove it using the command line
[17:19] <Mattehluzr> I do not want to enter the user password
[17:19] <Mattehluzr> I would prefer to enter the target user's password
[17:19] <harushimo> sudo apt-get purge remove flashplugin-nonfree
[17:19] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, that is not how sudo works, that is "su"
[17:19] <harushimo> ?
[17:19] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, and that is not distro specific, that is sudo
[17:20] <magnetron> !root | Mattehluzr
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Mattehluzr that is how it is.. all users should not have sudo access or you have no security
[17:20] <joaopinto> if you want to switch to a specific user, you just use su
[17:20] <ironfoot_495> Jack_Sparrow: It tells me that I'm not allowed what does thast mean?
[17:20] <Mattehluzr> I've used Linux long enough to trust myself w/ root
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ironfoot_495 What shows you are not allowed?
[17:21] <ironfoot_495> Jack_Sparrow: ##php
[17:21] <Mattehluzr> I just want to 'fix' it back to proper behaviour..same way it works on Slack, Debian/sid, gentoo, etc.
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[17:21] <ChaosTheory_> Is there any kind of software that will allow me to make tree diagrams easily?
[17:21] <usicow> how can I list all partitions on my system (including the NTFS one) with their sizes?
[17:21] <ironfoot_495> jack-desktop: ok
[17:21] <Mattehluzr> asking for user's own password is not default behaviour
[17:21] <Mattehluzr> *something* is causing it and I'm unclear as to what
[17:21] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, dia
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ironfoot_495 it may mean you need to be registered
[17:21] <ironfoot_495> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:22] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, uml?
[17:22] <ironfoot_495> HOW DO i REGISTER?
[17:22] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, erm, you are not correct, how does a "sudo command" identifies a target for the password besides the executing user ?
[17:22] <Stroganoff> Mattehluzr are you confusing "sudo" with "su"?
[17:22] <ironfoot_495> dO YOU KNOW?
[17:22] <jrib> Mattehluzr: yes it is... read the man page
[17:22] <ChaosTheory_> anirudh0: I'll try them both.
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !caps | ironfoot_495
[17:22] <jrib> !register > ironfoot_495 (read the private message from ubottu)
[17:22] <zloog> Hey pals
[17:22] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, no..i asked whether you need to make a uml diagram..dia is a general purpose diagram creator
[17:22] <ironfoot_495> that was just an error sorry!
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:22] <jrib> Mattehluzr: what behavior is it that you believe is not standard and would like to change?
[17:22] <Mattehluzr> Stroganoff, no, I am not
[17:22] <ChaosTheory_> anirudh0: I don't know what uml is.
[17:22] <joaopinto> Matic`Makovec, there is no such thing as a target user for sudo, only for su, for which you provide a target user
[17:22] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, ok
[17:23] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, yes you are
[17:23] <ChaosTheory_> anirudh0: It's a combinatorics/number theory diagram.
[17:23] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, then should'nt you be making it using latex/postscript?
[17:23] <ChaosTheory_> anirudh0: I don't know how to make diagrams in LaTeX. . . it's probably easier to import an image into the code, no?
[17:23] <Mattehluzr> jrib, when /etc/sudoers says NOPASSWD: ALL..it shouldn't ask me for a password when I "sudo mkdir -vp /mnt/loop/{build,proc,landz0}"
[17:23] <ai3gtmc> HI please help I just installed nvidia drivers all works except for the resolution, im stuck with 640x480
[17:24] <ai3gtmc> I want 1024x768 (is that right?)
[17:24] <zloog> ai3gtmc: What happens when you try to set your resolution?
[17:24] <Mattehluzr> joaopinto, I've used Linux for over a decade..I am NOT confusing 'sudo' and 'su'..this is just my first experience with Ubuntu's changes
[17:24] <ai3gtmc> zloog,  the resolution dont have 1024x768
[17:24] <jrib> Mattehluzr: pastebin your sudoers as that should work with the proper syntax
[17:25] <anirudh0> ChaosTheory_, there are specific latex packages to allow you to do that..iirc its called metafont..afaik its a standard in the general scientific community..so its worth your while to learn it
[17:25] <ai3gtmc> zloog, how can I use 1024x768?
[17:25] <zloog> ai3gtmc: Ahh, have you tried running nvidia-settings . (sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings to install)
[17:25] <ai3gtmc> ok brbr ill try
[17:25] <ChaosTheory_> anirudh0: Okay, I'll look into it.
[17:25] <anirudh0> Mattehluzr, is the NOPASSWD line at the end of /etc/sudoers?
[17:25] <Mattehluzr> and I want to know what has been done to alter sudo's behavior so that I can do similar on custom Linux builds and modify the existing structure
[17:25] <Mattehluzr> anirudh0, no
[17:26] <lopin> My trash applet isn't working after the update today..
[17:26] <zloog> ai3gtmc: You will want to look in the X Server Display Configuration tab for screen resolutions
[17:26] <maria> hey guys, is it possible to get compiz working on a ati mobility 7500 on hardy? i couldnt find anything helpful online
[17:26] <stelakkas> hello
[17:26] <BedMan> Mattehluzr: why would you want to alter sudo, just tweak the configuration file and you should be able to do just about anything you want with it
[17:26] <anirudh0> Mattehluzr, hence your problem :)
[17:26] <Mattehluzr> BedMan, apparently it's not working
[17:26] <dury> bbl
[17:26] <Mattehluzr> anirudh0, why is it not a problem on LFS builds, Slackware, Debian/sid or anything else, then?
[17:27] <anirudh0> Mattehluzr, any modifications must be appended to the end of line
[17:27] <anirudh0> *file
[17:27] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, I am using linux more than a decade, to switch to a specific user with that user's password you use su, sudo was introduced later, and the default configuration is to provide the invoking user's password
[17:27] <anirudh0> Mattehluzr, probably coz you copy/paste in the lfs build ;)
[17:27] <ai3gtmc> zloog, its still not there
[17:27] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, if you want to use the targets password, you don't need sudo at all
[17:27] <zloog> ai3gtmc: hrm. let me google that one for a bit
[17:27] <joaopinto> su -c does the job
[17:27] <ai3gtmc> zloog, ok thanks
[17:28] <anirudh0> joaopinto, will it work on *buntu though..since there is no root?
[17:28] <Mattehluzr> joaopinto, am aware..have not seen sudo behave this way before
[17:28] <joaopinto> anirudh0, not to su to root...
[17:28] <BedMan> anirudh0: there is a root account, you just have to be creative to get to it...
[17:28] <zloog> ai3gtmc: just to make sure, you did reboot after installing nvidia drivers, right?
[17:28] <Sergione> do someone knows how to install an internal modem 56k in ubuntu hardy?
[17:28] <jerbear> anyone know of a good way to convert a gnome vfs uri to a filename?
[17:29] <ai3gtmc> zloog, yes
[17:29] <Mattehluzr> joaopinto, also, checking the changelogs, the behaviour was modified to bring about the 'ask for current user password' behaviour..which differs from sudo's natural behaviour when built from source
[17:29] <joaopinto> Mattehluzr, I use sudo on comercial Unixes, the default configuration I have always found is the invkings user password, like you can clearly understand, the other behavior is already provied by the standard "su"
[17:29] <zloog> ai3gtmc: Have you seen this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto page?
[17:29] <dcabello> xicos
[17:30] <tty666> i repeat, please someone can help me, i would like detect my card(dlink wlan g650), which was detected by gutsy, and now after the upgrade, hardy don't detect it, i checked the blacklist file...etc! wtf :( ?
[17:30] <disappear> Can anyone help me change the default language for login screen/console?
[17:30] <Mattehluzr> joaopinto, okay, I haven't seen that on Solaris or IRIX either..so *something* I've been doing has been changing this from the very beginning, I guess
[17:30] <ai3gtmc> zloog, nope
[17:30] <ai3gtmc> zloog, ill try that thanks
[17:30] <BedMan> Mattehluzr, joaopinto:  I have to agree with joaopinto.  sudo has always asked for the invoking users's password, but that behavior can be modified with the configuration file if you desire.
[17:30] <zloog> ai3gtmc: good lucky
[17:30] <dcabello> hola
[17:30] <harushimo> how do I install 64 bit deb file for flash
[17:30] <mypapit> tty666, no idea, it happened to my b43 based wifi too

[17:31] <zloog> disappear: Have you tried using the System->Administration->Language Support tool?
[17:31] <harushimo> so I'm doing a reinstall of flash
[17:31] <jrib> harushimo: pastebin what you are doing
[17:31] <BedMan> Mattehluzr: have you used visudo -c to verify your sudoers file?
[17:31] <tty666> mypapit, i suspect the new version of madwifi, warning your b43 is blacklisted by defaut ;)
[17:31] <harushimo> ok will do give me a sec
[17:31] <harushimo> !pastebin
[17:32] <Mattehluzr> BedMan, I always use visudo to change the file and it checks cleanly every time
[17:32] <anirudh0> disappear, there is a language selector in gdm..it restarts after you change language
[17:32] <RamSaravana> Hi.....

[17:51] <anirudh0> CLEARviewF, check kde-apps.org..i think there is a program that specifically caters to small and medium budinesses
[17:51] <bnex10> i guess it's f***ed panik
[17:51] <o0Chris0o> ok it doesnt load up when I put the cd in though, it loads the apple OS instead
[17:51] <Flannel> Panik: close it, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> bnex10 Please dont use profanity even if ***'d out
[17:51] <stemount^> o0Chris0o: don't you like the apple OS?
[17:52] <CLEARviewF> anirudh0: i has to be a KDE program?
[17:52] <o0Chris0o> no I like ubuntu

[17:52] <tyrion> Hi, i want to speedup Flash Playback in Firefox .. i've the RC installed and i'm using the properitary flash plugin
[17:52] <zth> is Ubuntu with 8.04 AMD64 version as compatible with everything as the 32bit version?
[17:52] <CLEARviewF> Jack_Sparrow: i know thank you :)
[17:52] <o0Chris0o> anirudh0, let me check 1 sec
[17:52] <anirudh0> CLEARviewF, i know of the kde program..there might be a gnome one as well :)
[17:52] <PrivateRolf> Zth: If you can get the dependencies right
[17:53] <anirudh0> o0Chris0o, the new ubuntu does'nt support powerpc..you'll have to go to dapper or edgy
[17:53] <Flannel> zth: Not everything.  Some proprietary stuff is less supported in 64 bit
[17:53] <o0Chris0o> ahhh
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !ppc
[17:53] <ubilicios> Hi guys have an issue I just rebooted my computer and now I can't log in it looks like gnome is about to load and it spits me back to the login prompt
[17:53] <ubilicios> I can only get in through gnome failsafe
[17:53] <disappear> Can anyone help me change the default language for login screen/console? I've changed the language from the Language Support, and the one in the Login screen, but the issue still remains.
[17:53] <CLEARviewF> thank you anirudh0, genii, Jack_Sparrow
[17:53] <tnguy> how do i get a flash drive to load on my ubuntu 8.04
[17:53] <zth> Flannel: stuff like? it's not like the old days when you couldn't use wine, you couldn't use firefox flash and stuff like that and u needed a chroot 32bit for everything?
[17:53] <o0Chris0o> nvm then
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:53] <o0Chris0o> ahh well
[17:54] <mehta> hi! does anybody know if the serialmonkey drivers work with latest ubuntu kernel 2.6.24.18?
[17:54] <tnguy> I can't get my verbatim store and go flashdrives to work
[17:54] <anirudh0> o0Chris0o, iirc some newer macs have intel chips
[17:54] <anirudh0> o0Chris0o, so check yours
[17:54] <Flannel> o0Chris0o: You can get Hardy for PPC, but it sounds like you don't have a PPC.  For... a few years now they've been intel.
[17:54] <o0Chris0o> I have PowerPC G3
[17:54] <Flannel> zth: flash is one, yeah, java... I think is doable now.  Not sure about wine.
[17:55] <zth> Flannel: thank you for the answers, just found a good thread on the forums imma read about the matter
[17:55] <Flannel> o0Chris0o: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ has PPC versions for Hardy
[17:55] <ron_> where casn i find sources for ubuntu 6.10 so i can use apt
[17:55] <o0Chris0o> Flannel, ty
[17:55] <Flannel> zippytech: 6.10 has reached its end of life, you should upgrade to 7.04
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !edgy
[17:56] <anirudh0> Flannel, what happens when a version reaches end of life..normal users dont use canonical support anyway
[17:57] <Flannel> anirudh0: You no longer get updates (and eventually the mirrors get taken down)
[17:57] <zvacet> anirudh0 : you don´t get updates anymore
[17:57] <stemount^> !hardy

[18:04] <Juventino> hello, i just installed kubuntu, and i'm having problems with the resolution!, i already installed the nvidia driver with m-a a-i nvidia, and i also enabled the nvidia driver in the KDE, i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that didn't work..

[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !fi
[18:05] <Juventino> knowing that it's the KDE4 distro
[18:05] <KomiaPoika> huh nvm
[18:06] <hey`> anirudh0, no I don't even have flasblock installed.
[18:06] <Juventino> guys? any suggestions?
[18:06] <disappear> Jack_Sparrow, it's on the laptop.. @ goes " and other keys too. I've installed the system with British, and it don't wanna change. in gnome I type normaly.
[18:06] <KomiaPoika> Juventino: about?
[18:06] <Juventino> hello, i just installed kubuntu, and i'm having problems with the resolution!, i already installed the nvidia driver with m-a a-i nvidia, and i also enabled the nvidia driver in the KDE, i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that didn't work..
[18:07] <KomiaPoika> did you check in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:07] <Calibre> Juventino, use EnvyNG
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> disappear Whay would you be typing @ as part of your login name and pass?
[18:07] <Juventino> KomiaPoika: yes, but should i edit manualy?
[18:07] <KomiaPoika> in kubuntu i find it better to install from the nvidia.com's binary
[18:07] <KomiaPoika> Juventino: what is your problem exactly, you don't get the resolution you want?
[18:08] <disappear> Jack_Sparrow, like it's part of my password phrase??
[18:08] <Juventino> KomiaPoika: it's the same i believe, cause the m-a uses the same driver anyway
[18:08] <Juventino> KomiaPoika: yes, it would only allow me up to 800X600
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[18:09] <YoG> hi, how do I revert to the previous kernel after update installed a newer build?
[18:09] <KomiaPoika> Juventino: can you run nvidia-settings?
[18:09] <a-l-p-h-a_> what's the command to list what's been installed?
[18:09] <annie_g> Hi - Someone recommend a good Music conversion application ? ? Running Hardy Heron (Gnome)
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[18:09] <Juventino> KomiaPoika: it's not there, should i install it?
[18:09] <Calibre> YoG you should be able to boot an earlier kernel at the grub launcher menu
[18:10] <KomiaPoika> Juventino: it should be there if you are running the drivers
[18:10] <KomiaPoika> Juventino:  grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:10] <YoG> Calibre: I know, thats how I found out the the previous one is better... I'd like to make that permanent...
[18:10] <Brutus> weet iemand of het mogelijk is om grafische interface te installeren voor kismet, en zoja, hoe?
[18:10] <o0Chris0o> is there a faster link for ppc iso image other then cdimage.ubuntu.org?
[18:10] <Juventino> KomiaPoika: but the module "nvidia" is listed in the lsmod
[18:10] <zvacet> a-l-p-h-a_ : dpkg --get-selections > installed-software
[18:10] <KomiaPoika> Brutus: speak english

[18:11] <Juventino> ok 1 min
[18:11] <magnetron> o0Chris0o: bittorrent is probably the fastest one. there may even be a mirror closer to you
[18:11] <a-l-p-h-a_> zvacet:  thanks!

[18:11] <Brutus> ubottu:  yeah i know i join both channels automaticly. selected the wrong one
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[18:12] <ASULutzy> Is there a quicker way to address someone other than typing their name out fully? I'm using pidgin
[18:12] <genii> !tab
[18:12] <zvacet> annie_g : install pacpl it is text based but if you have Amarok you will have GUI
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy Use tab
[18:12] <ASULutzy> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy Did you think I really typed all of these names all day?
[18:13] <annie_g> zvacet: Running Gnome - Had some problems with Amarok - not very stable - Any other suggestions ?
[18:13] <ASULutzy> Jack_Sparrow: Seems like a lot of work, but who knows ;)
[18:14] <ASULutzy> Why is amarok not stable? I've had no problems with it and prefer it quite a bit to rhythmbox
[18:14] <annie_g> zvacet: Would like to convert from .ogg to .mp3
[18:14] <n000n> I have 2 unusual problems that I would love some anseres to .. 1) dragging files from the desktop to home caused my computer to log me out ... 2) from time to time, ubuntu will do a ton of what i'm guessing are 'writes' to my hard drive even though nothing is going on
[18:15] <zvacet>  annie_g :  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731932&highlight=audio+convert #7
[18:15] <xorand> the newer version of amarok is much more stable than the previous
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n Perhaps trackerd
[18:15] <xorand> anni: I used media monkey in windows to convert mp3 to ogg
[18:15] <cerebrate_> n000n: the 'writes' are probably Tracker indexing files
[18:15] <n000n> ok, can i tell it to do it less often
[18:15] <n000n> or at certain times
[18:15] <PriceChild> When using vinagre (the default vnc viewer) How do i exit full screen, obviously the F11 gets passed to the client :/
[18:15] <xorand> annie_g- I used media monkey in windows to convert mp3 to ogg
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n It will slow or stop once it gets things indexed
[18:16] <n000n> ok
[18:16] <n000n> how about the logoff issue
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n you can control it
[18:16] <cerebrate_> n000n: you can also configure it to only run when you're not using the computer
[18:16] <n000n> i'm finding that one really odd
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n Which release are you running
[18:16] <n000n> hardy
[18:17] <o0Chris0o> can someone plz post the link again for hardy 8.04 for PPC? :(
[18:17] <annie_g> zvacet: I think that might be one solution - I personally like ogg but might player portable mp3 player doesn't  -  :o(
[18:17] <cerebrate_> o0Chris0o: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/
[18:17] <zvacet> annie_g : that solution wll work I tried it and it is O.K
[18:18] <PriceChild> cerebrate_: I think it is on ports
[18:18] <Xsss4hell> Hi
[18:18] <Xsss4hell> Can somebody file a bug?
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> cerebrate_ That site has ppc of Hardy?
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !bug
[18:18] <o0Chris0o> thats not it, it was for PPC
[18:18] <cerebrate_> no, it doesn't I just realized.
[18:18] <o0Chris0o> Flannel, posted it I think
[18:18] <annie_g> xorand: Thanks for tip - Do mostly everything in Linux as much as possible - but is another way to do something - Thanks!
[18:18] <Xsss4hell> Can somebody file a bug for me? I don't want to register
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Xsss4hell Have you searched for a duplicate of it.. and what is the bug
[18:19] <Xsss4hell> the latest xorg update causes the White Screen of Death on many ubuntu machines with ATI graphics card
[18:19] <cerebrate_> PriceChild is probably correct about it being on ports.  Not sure where that's at though.
[18:19] <BlackBurn> Iemand ervaring met Elisa en Python?
[18:19] <ASULutzy> Out of curiosity has anyone been able to get Svideo working using the intel driver? I have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c), and I've pretty much given up... I've never gotten my tv to do so much as flicker in Ubuntu and it works fine in Windows... Just wondering if this is a known bug or what
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Xsss4hell I am sure that is documented
[18:20] <Xsss4hell> where can I search for it?
[18:20] <n000n> Jack_Sparrow: is the logout on drag and drop something I should file as a bug???
[18:20] <cerebrate_> ASULutzy: did you try starting the X server while the svideo cable was plugged in?
[18:20] <[GSF]Martin> when i boot up i get a maintenance shell because a file system check failed, and if i run fsck manually i get a bunch of problems, but i have no idea what i should be pressing, anybody?
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Xsss4hell launchpad
[18:20] <[GSF]Martin> (it was a normal shutdown, reboot after an update)
[18:20] <Xsss4hell> When it is documented and why do they still offer the update? It makes systems unusable!
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n HAve you changed sources, installed things manually etc?
[18:20] <Industrial> I have a package that I need to recompile (dwm) to configure it. How do I make a package out of it to install it?
[18:20] <disappear> Can anyone help me change the default language for login screen/console? I've changed the language from the Language Support, and the one in the Login screen, but the issue still remains.
[18:21] <o0Chris0o> can someone please post the link for hardy download for PowerPC g3 imac, I forgot who posted it, and I lost the link
[18:21] <ASULutzy> cerebrate_: Yea, I did, it never outputs to the TV or even makes it flicker... I have an HP Pavillion dv6000 and I've seen the wiki on svideo that suggested doing xrandr stuff and nothing
[18:21] <n000n> only sources i've chaged were the ones i added for AWN
[18:21] <PriceChild> cerebrate_: ports.
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[18:21] <o0Chris0o> OO! found it
[18:21] <BlackBurn> has anyone experiences with Elisa and Ubuntu?
[18:21] <BlackBurn> I ment Python
[18:21] <ASULutzy> I have an extended desktop working through VGA right now, but yea, no luck with Svideo, just curious if this is just a "me" issue, or if there were lots of people with the i965 chip that are having issues
[18:21] <ASULutzy> BlackBurn: Yea, I have Elisa installed
[18:22] <cerebrate_> sorry, I only have the 915 chip.
[18:22] <Industrial> I have a package that I need to recompile (dwm) to configure it. How do I make a package out of it to install it?
[18:22] <ASULutzy> BlackBurn: That's actually why I'm asking about S-video, because currently the only reason I even boot into Windows on this laptop is to take advantage of Windows Media center since using elisa I can't get stuff to output to the tv
[18:22] <BlackBurn> I'm trying to follow the amazon plugin tutorial, but when I'm starting Elisa, I get the error cannot load frontend.
[18:23] <BlackBurn> same thing happens when loading the weather plugin tutorial.
[18:23] <ASULutzy> BlackBurn: I'm not familiar with the tutorial you're talking about. All I did was sudo apt-get install elisa and then run it once and edit the .conf file it makes to point towards my media
[18:24] <BlackBurn> ASULutzy: the one that came with apt-get works perfectly, but I like to try to write my own plugin and since I'm new to python, the tutorials to write your own plugin seems a good start.
[18:25] <n000n> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f642f731a
[18:25] <cerebrate_> ASULutzy: you could get a vga -> svideo adapter
[18:25] <ASULutzy> BlackBurn: Ah, well I program for a living, actually at work right now, but unfortunately I haven't tried to do anything like what you're talking about
[18:26] <wolfdart> people, Im trying install the Virtual Box (in Ubuntu 8), but this error show up: http://pastebin.org/40600
[18:26] <ASULutzy> cerebrate_: Yea, i was considering that, but it seems like the issue is that the intel driver doesn't know how to talk to my TV, and unless I get the 80 dollar box adapter thing, then the little 5 dollar cable adapter of course won't do anything
[18:26] <okaratas> clear
[18:26] <wolfdart> What I need intall to fix it?
[18:26] <Industrial> How do I disable GDM? I want to remove it completely and use .xinitrc and startx.
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> n000n I would not file a bug as you have installed more than a few things from outside official repos that could have caused the conflict
[18:26] <Industrial> guess i can just remove it
[18:26] <Industrial> :p
[18:26] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: What kernel are you using?
[18:26] <n000n> : /
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !purekde
[18:26] <megahealth> http://www.file-upload.net/download-894450/DKS_Volkzkritik.mp3.html
[18:26] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, i dont know! =\
[18:27] <eth01> megahealth: you stupid person.
[18:27] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Type uname -r in a terminal
[18:27] <jawee> How do I set up a 5 1/4" floppy drive under Ubuntu?
[18:27] <BlackBurn> ASULutzy: I'm going to figure it out, also a way to learn a new language. I don't program for a living, at least it isn't mine prime task. But I really like it and it's a great hobby of me.
[18:27] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, the kernel is 2.6.24-18-generic
[18:28] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: You'll need to boot into the -17 kernel for the next couple of days
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee I dont know that those are even supported anymore
[18:28] <darksky_logger> Anyone can tell me if AWN is already fully compatible with ubuntu 8?
[18:28] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: There currently isn't a virtualbox module available in the repositories for -18 kernel, though there should be very soon
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !awn
[18:28] <jawee> Jack_Sparrow: there has to be some way to use them, as they weren't uncommon when the Linux kernel came about
[18:28] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, hmmm... in -17 kernel, the installation will work?
[18:28]  * eth01 CTMS: prbt *.file-upload.net -t 1000 -rV--no-space -muaha ;)
[18:28] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Try rebooting and at the grub menu choosing the -17 kernel
[18:28] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Yes, because there is a virtualbox module for that kernel
[18:28] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, ok! Tks!
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> darksky_logger awn is in universe for hardy release.
[18:29] <eth01> er, CMTS *
[18:29] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Once you reboot into 17, you'll need to do sudo apt-get install and get the correct module for your kernel if it isn't already there
[18:29] <darksky_logger> ty
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee YEs, but that was 15 years ago or so.
[18:29] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: If you have problems just come back here and I'll guide you through it
[18:29] <jessica> i am getting this error when trying to do apt-get "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" but am i not using apt-get i dont know what is wrong
[18:29] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, hmmm, ok!
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[18:29] <ASULutzy> jessica: You probably have synaptic open?
[18:29] <jawee> Jack_Sparrow: I still want to use it to transfer stuff to my C64...
[18:29] <alexey> Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'(( when try separate x screen mode

[18:30] <jawee> I pulled it out of an 80386 and it worked there

[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Xsss4hell Perhaps later
[18:31] <Xsss4hell> men who give themself girlnames?
[18:31] <Xsss4hell> Jack_Sparrow ty
[18:31] <eth01> perhaps later indeed be the requirement shall i say!
[18:31] <Xsss4hell> I can tell you more detail if you need
[18:31] <jawee> Jack_Sparrow: interesting. do you still have one that yuo'ev have any luck transferring files to?
[18:31] <Swordsman> hey, I'm trying to get a pci graphics card working with ubuntu
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee the roms for virtually every game are already available from user groups
[18:31] <eth01> !ask
[18:31] <eth01> ...
[18:32] <Swordsman> how would I change the login resolution?
[18:32] <jessica> i dont understand why any man would wanna call them self a women
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee Including some that I wrote..
[18:32] <igge> anyone who knows how to create a gtk theme?
[18:32] <Sammy_Food_Run> lol
[18:32] <Sammy_Food_Run> i.e. will it keep my desktop, files, everything?
[18:32] <jawee> Jack_Sparrow: but do you know how to get files from an ubuntu machine to my C64
[18:32] <ASULutzy> jessica: Preferential treatment from chauvinist men?
[18:32] <ASULutzy> :P
[18:33] <cerebrate_> alright, I have this laptop, that, during boot, will goo to suspend as soon as I believe the X server is starting, but I could be wrong and it's something else.  It happens basically right as gdm should load.  Turning the laptop back on only makes it stay on for a couple seconds, the screen flickers, then it goes back to sleep.
[18:33] <jessica> people should help people because they want to give to the comunity, the comunity is mostly male so i think there should be people helpin more males
[18:33] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee No.. not that it cant be done, but those were single sided single density 10k floppies.. Do you have a single sided drive 170k for an ibm/pc
[18:33] <Jack_Sparrow> 170k
[18:33] <jessica> but anyway everyone is the same as in rights
[18:33] <Sammy_Food_Run> thats a great song
[18:33] <jessica> everyone should be helped just as much
[18:34] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, same thing happen! I need install the kernel sources...
[18:34] <jawee> Jack_Sparrow: the drive I am using could pull up the disks from DOS 4.0
[18:34] <Sammy_Food_Run> hey tom
[18:34] <disappear> solved it, for who's interested, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and change your keyboard locale. [ref. for Jack_Sparrow]
[18:34] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Right this is the next sttep
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee Those are dual sided
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[18:35] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: If you are now in the 17 kernel you'll need to do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-17-generic or whatever the correct module is for you
[18:35] <Sammy_Food_Run> i think ext3 came out in the end of 2001
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee In short.. It will be a lot of trial and error to try and get that.  YOu would be better off hooking your cbm drive up through a serial port and getting them into your pc that way
[18:36] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, but I dont downloaded the OSE version... I downloaded the binarie version
[18:36] <Kartagis> Jack_Sparrow: did you look at it?
[18:36] <alexey> Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'(( when try separate x screen mode
[18:36] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, what is the diference?
[18:36] <Sammy_Food_Run> yatas please stop
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Kartagis Look at what.. if you dont use my nick I will probably not see it
[18:37] <Xsss4hell> jessica yea jessica that's Ubuntu's slogon people help each other and Humanity all over the world =)
[18:37] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Hmmm, I thought sudo apt-get install virtualbox defaulted to installing the OSE. Sun's proprietary supports 1 or 2 extra things, but for almost all uses the OSE one is good enough
[18:37] <Kartagis> Jack_Sparrow: how to reset gnome settings
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Sammy_Food_Run Whats up

[18:37] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: I'm not sure what exactly you need to do for Sun's, maybe someone else in here can help you out with that
[18:37] <eth01> care to stay on topic Xsss4hell?
[18:37] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, i will use itunes to sync my iPOd... Can I do it on OSE version?
[18:38] <eth01> this isn't #ubuntu-slags-for-sale
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Kartagis I believe I pasted the info in channel for you
[18:38] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, hmm.. so I will try the OSE version first! Tks!! =D
[18:38] <Panik> guys
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[18:38] <ASULutzy> wolfdart: Hmmm, yea, I don't know if the OSE version supports USB passthrough, just google it :P
[18:38] <eth01> *aahhem*
[18:38] <Panik> is there a driver for um, ATI AIW 9000 , so I can use my svideo in and out?
[18:38] <wolfdart> ASULutzy, ok!! =D
[18:39] <Xsss4hell> eth01 I just said ONE SENTENCE don't be that hectic
[18:39] <Sammy_Food_Run> yea but my icons are big
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Sammy_Food_Run What is Yatas  doing that generated your response
[18:39] <Xsss4hell> eth01 and it's nothing to sale m8, because ubuntu is free
[18:39] <Sammy_Food_Run> Yatas?
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Sammy_Food_Run <Sammy_Food_Run> yatas please stop
[18:40] <Kartagis> Jack_Sparrow: I can't even start a term
[18:40] <Sammy_Food_Run> He was talking about credit cards earlier
[18:40] <Sammy_Food_Run> how do i change konqueror back to its default settings?
[18:40] <eth01> you didn't understand, never mind sir.
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Sammy_Food_Run HE has not said anything in ages.. please stay on topic
[18:41] <bing_> when i download a tar.gz box how do install it
[18:41] <Sammy_Food_Run> false
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Kartagis Then your troubles go deeper than gnome settings
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> bing_ depends on what is incide the tar package..

[18:42] <bing_> its fuppes

[18:51] <smellyhippy> hi all, just installed ubuntu for the first time (I'm a windows user :P). FIrst things first ... very nice work on the Web Installer, it was so increadably straight forward to get setup :D
[18:51] <ttt--> there are a bunch of threads about it if i search for "flash bug ubuntu"
[18:51] <ttt--> im guesssing it's the same bug
[18:51] <uriel_> any other ideas
[18:51] <cerebrate_> ttt--: every so randomly, it'll do the same to be too in firefox, but I just have to restart firefox and it's all better

[18:52] <ttt--> cerebrate_, i cant watch 3 youtubes in a row without it happening. is there a known official fix for this?
[18:52] <philsf> ttt--: you can always killall pulseaudio, and set all your apps to use alsa directly
[18:53] <syk> erUSUL, yeah that changes my screen resolution but it doesnt solve the error
[18:53] <AMDfanboy> zeusss: both, eh?  i moved my hard drive over to a new computer, and the volume on my music is too low.  i need to crank my speakers up to hear it.
[18:53] <cerebrate_> ttt--: no clue, and probably not, as all flash things are going to go back to adobe.  Such is the problem with binary blobs.
[18:53] <teknoprep> hey all... anyone know of fingerprint reader software for linux ? so i can log into my machine with a fingerprint ?

[18:54] <tnguy> ok another quick question... is there some sort of command to make a flash drive mount or something to that nature... or do i have to plug it in on boot up and no other time?

[19:06] <danbhfive> oops, wrong factoid
[19:06] <PriceChild> Ridiculous question... sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/directory should give full permissions to everyone on that directory, and everything in it right?

[19:07] <Neurostu> I have a RHEL 5 System with LVM, I didn't want to mess this up so I put in a new sata HDD and installed ubuntu on it.  When I rebooted, grub from RHEL showed up but there were not any ubuntu entries, I've tried editing menu.lst on my RHEL HDD but I can't get ubuntu to boot, all I could get is initramfs (or something like that)
[19:07] <Besogon> hi all. You know how can "Listener RIP" in quagga? I need some universal config file.
[19:07] <danbhfive> PriceChild: yes, I would think, and the group, and the owner too
[19:08] <Neurostu> Can someone help me figure out my grub problem? (sorry I explained it above)

[19:09] <AMDfanboy> this firefox flash bug, is it crashes and takes the whole session down with it?
[19:09] <AMDfanboy> its pretty common?
[19:09] <lw0x15> i opened a CD with movie in it but i cant copy the movie to my HDD because of the permissions how do i change them
[19:09] <danbhfive> AMDfanboy: I think its common for myself, but thankfully, ff has session restore
[19:10] <danbhfive> lw0x15: is it the permissions on the harddrive thats a problem?
[19:10] <lw0x15> no the permission on the cdroom
[19:10] <lw0x15> i believe
[19:10] <AMDfanboy> yeah firefox restores, but everything else i had open doesnt :-)
[19:10] <ks_> hello all friends
[19:10] <lw0x15> when i try to  sudo chmod -R 777 /media/JOB
[19:10] <danbhfive> lw0x15: if thats the case, then you would not be able to open the movie
[19:10] <Neurostu> danbhfive, yes it is booting sda1
[19:10] <SabreWolfy> ﻿"Official" place to buy Kubuntu / Xubuntu case badges / stickers ?

[19:12] <Neurostu> hmmmm.... I'll try that
[19:12] <danbhfive> lw0x15: can you open the movie at all?
[19:12] <rodolfo> hi all

[19:16] <danbhfive> !fixgrub > Neurostu I would try following the instructions to fix grub, with one change.  See if you can install grub on the drive that RHEL is on, not ubuntu.   Eeeks, but if you want to make sure your RHEL is ok, I would backup the menu.lst on the RHEL drive, located in /boot/grub

[19:20] <Justice> From 6.02 to 6.0.5
[19:20] <Pici> duane: Which kernel -18? If so, I did see something in the changelog about a broadcom kernel driver.
[19:20] <Neurostu> shashank: I believe that vista comes with a partitioning tool to use when you install...  are you trying to preserve a ubuntu install?  I would say the best bet would be to use GParted on the LiveCD to resize your partition and then let vista do its thing
[19:20] <amenado> debrac add a 2nd one?  google for multi-seat dual video output
[19:20] <ble> Fleh

[19:21] <Gin> S4nD3r: the file /rpco/cpuinfo will list 2 cpu's
[19:21] <ble> that did not work
[19:21] <Neurostu> also check your BIOS to see if its boots the HDD before checking the CD drive, if it does make your CD rom the default boot devices

[19:26] <echinos> cheltonian1: it doesn't ask for a password?
[19:27] <ArthurArchnix> I think it's "is_music_player"... but I can't find the answer anywhere on the googles.
[19:27] <legend2440> cheltonian1: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostnames files in pastebin not here

[19:27] <ble> but when i boot what should i choose in the menu?
[19:28] <sinoohe> how can I boot an iso file on hard disk in grub?? (can any one help me??)
[19:28] <ble> do i have to install a driver?

[19:29] <ble> pc model?
[19:29] <emgent> hello
[19:29] <Lynet> ble: The only reason I can think of for the drive not to show up is that the Linux kernel on the LiveCD does not include a driver for your particular sata chipset. You might try the "alternate" CD, it contains more odd-ball drivers.
[19:30] <cheltonian1> sorry  new to this
[19:30] <amenado> sinoohe-> okay, where is the iso located now?  can you mount it to let say  /mnt ?

[19:36] <manoff> Ah it seems that the root passwd is not in mysql.conf
[19:37] <manoff> m_newton: the ssh client or the server?
[19:37] <ASULutzy> tdn: there's not really a big difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server, just less packages right? And I believe you can just add the sources and then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:37] <amenado> m_newton-> use the tools to find it, find, or locate sshd.conf
[19:37] <Miesco> How can I disable the touchpad, or just the tapping of it?
[19:37] <majikins> annie_g : just use something like http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/ to download

[19:37] <manoff> majikins: if you are talking about the ssh client, check "man ssh" there are several config files

[19:39] <ASULutzy> tdn: yes there is, I have a persistent live-usb install
[19:39] <vipaca> Im pretty sure this is a config problem with my source.lst but I can't see it
[19:39] <Ward1983> manoff, ok but then my mythtv wont work anymore right?
[19:39] <legend2440> cheltonian1: gksu is better for gui apps like gedit but will still work
[19:39] <`NoNick`> Can anyone tell me why I use find alone I get it to list files in subdirs but when i do find *.java it only lists files in current dir ?
[19:39] <Ward1983> manoff, and will my currect users remain etc?
[19:39] <m_newton> manoff: I want the ssh client
[19:39] <MaskedOne> nibsa, go open up home folder (nautilus file manager) then go to edit preferences, then media tab and bingo
[19:39] <cheltonian1> Thanks
[19:39] <m_newton> manoff: Or actually i am not sure
[19:39] <Jalathan> brygee: you already have it installed?
[19:39] <legend2440> cheltonian1: ok
[19:39] <amenado> `NoNick`-> default is .
[19:39] <ASULutzy> tdn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[19:39] <brygee> Jalathan: i just removed ktorrent 2.2
[19:39] <manoff> m_newton: decide what you want, use man
[19:40] <manoff> Ward1983: man mysqladmin
[19:40] <brygee> Jalathan: i couldn't find a place to update it so i want to install the newest version to my comp
[19:40] <`NoNick`> amenado, how can i make it list files in subdirs too? would be great if full path included too
[19:40] <nibsa1242b> MaskedOne: thank you, it was getting on my nerves
[19:40] <m_newton> manoff: Well i just want to add port so and so to my config file
[19:40] <MaskedOne> nibsa, don't blame ya I had the same problem with Rythmbox and my ipod :D
[19:40] <manoff> Ward1983: mysqladmin password newpasswd
[19:40] <manoff> m_newton: i dont know the details mate
[19:41] <dcordes> !botsnack
[19:41] <Ward1983> manoff, how can i get out of man? lol i allways close the window but now i need to know its getting annoying
[19:41] <vipaca> I can't get my client to use the apt-proxy I setup. I've changed the source.lst to the ip:port of the box but it never attempts to connect
[19:41] <amenado> `NoNick`-> find should recourse if you put a path in the search list
[19:41] <manoff> m_newton: man ssh is a good place to start
[19:41] <annie_g> majikins: Will this work for other video from other sites as well?
[19:41] <manoff> Ward1983: hit q
[19:41] <DaveKong> What is the best thing to do when there are several posts in different places on the ubuntu forums all about the same thing?
[19:41] <dcordes> ubottu: I thougt I'd just see if you're alright
[19:41] <m_newton> ssh config file location
[19:41] <brygee> Jalathan: and add/remove only installs 2.2
[19:41] <Ward1983> manoff, thanx lol
[19:41] <tdn> ASULutzy, thanks.
[19:41] <m_newton> Starnestommy: You there man??
[19:41] <manoff> Ward1983: can you change the passwd now?
[19:41] <ASULutzy> tdn: no prob
[19:41] <m_newton> Starnestommy: Do you know where ssh config file is located
[19:41] <manoff> m_newton: listen mate, there are many ssh client configs there
[19:42] <Ward1983> manoff, im too afraid lol
[19:42] <manoff> m_newton: i just told you hit "man ssh"
[19:42] <Ward1983> manoff, what will happen with mythtv etc?
[19:42] <m_newton> manoff: open ssh then
[19:42] <Ward1983> and the other stuff using mysql
[19:42] <Jalathan> brygee: kk, one min
[19:42] <manoff> Ward1983: what is mythtv sorry
[19:42] <amenado> m_newton-> use the tools to find it, find, or locate sshd_conf
[19:42] <tdn> ASULutzy, I cannot find instructions on how to change from Ubuntu -> Ubuntu Server. I want really to get rid of all X packages also. There is no monitor, keyboard, etc on this computer anyway.
[19:42] <brygee> Jalathan: k take your time i'm jumping in the shower.
[19:42] <Ward1983> manoff, it uses mysql
[19:42] <DaveKong> As far as trying to keep information more consolidated
[19:42] <manoff> Ward1983: nothing happens to them
[19:42] <Jalathan> brygee: i'll pm you than
[19:42] <amenado> m_newton-> use the tools to find it, find, or locate sshd_config even
[19:42] <manoff> Ward1983: wait
[19:42] <Ward1983> manoff, its q media center server / client
[19:42] <ASULutzy> tdn: Actually I used this one http://ubuntuisms.com/main/?p=44
[19:42] <manoff> Ward1983: wait a second please
[19:42] <ASULutzy> tdn: It worked a little bit better I believe
[19:42] <Ward1983> manoff, sure lol
[19:43] <Ward1983> manoff, i need to go for a smoke anyway :)
[19:43] <manoff> Ward1983: see you in few mins mate
[19:43] <Ward1983> manoff, i still ned to roll it :p
[19:43] <MaskedOne> What are you rolling Ward? :P
[19:43] <IronJan> hi, i got some boot problems with my ubuntu live cd. i used it today to format my hard disk (all into free space), but now i cannot boot anymore with the same live cd. the console gives me some errors, repeating themselfes all the time. can anyone help me ? (error messages -> pm)
[19:44] <Ward1983> MaskedOne, something to suck smoke out of :) (and yes i live close to holland :p)
[19:44] <THE_Stig> i can`t delete some files
[19:44] <tdn> ASULutzy, ok. Thanks.
[19:44] <MaskedOne> Lol, you should ship me some :D
[19:44] <THE_Stig> can anybody help me?
[19:44] <pen> how do I change the icon used by the autoscrolling in firefox 3? it's ugly
[19:44] <Ward1983> and go to jail :p
[19:44] <link_36p> Just installed hardy and im trying to get my wireless to work. I have a its the Intel 3945.
[19:44] <MaskedOne> Fine I'll stick to crappy cigars rofl
[19:45] <manoff> Ward1983: do this: mysqladmin --user=root password my-new-password
[19:45] <THE_Stig> can anybody help me?
[19:45] <MaskedOne> THE_Stig, whats your problem again?
[19:45] <AaronH> THE_Stig, do you get an error message?
[19:45] <Ward1983> manoff, yes i saw that in the manual :)
[19:45] <manoff> Ward1983: it will set the new password for root account, no databases will be touched mate
[19:45] <THE_Stig> i can`t delete some files from the bin
[19:45] <Ward1983> manoff, but what will happen to other progs using mysql? since they have their own login they;ll remain working?
[19:46] <MaskedOne> THE_Stig, you need root permissions to do that
[19:46] <MaskedOne> do ALT+F2 then type in gksu nautilus
[19:46] <manoff> Ward1983: depends how they login to the mysql server? do they use the mysql root to login?
[19:46] <Ward1983> manoff, aha nice, so my tools will still be able to login and interact with their databases
[19:46] <THE_Stig> and how can i get that?
[19:46] <MaskedOne> Go to your bin folder and you can do what you wish ( be careful cause this is root area so it can mess things up)
[19:46] <Ward1983> manoff, mythtv does not use root thats for sue
[19:46] <Ward1983> sure
[19:46] <manoff> Ward1983: every mysql-wise app logs in to the mysql server with some account
[19:46] <amenado> IronJan-> your liveCd rom is not bootable anymore? any prompts at all? check your bios if your cdrom is the 1st boot priority
[19:46] <Ward1983> manoff, btw mythtv is nice, you should try it sometime, its amazing
[19:47] <THE_Stig> thank you!
[19:47] <manoff> Ward1983: so when you change to root password and some app logs in with root, it does not work anymore becuase the passwd is changed
[19:47] <manoff> Ward1983: got it?
[19:47] <Ward1983> yep
[19:47] <MaskedOne> No problem, enjoy :D
[19:47] <Ward1983> but no app uses it :)
[19:47] <manoff> Ward1983: so when you change some passwd, you need to reconfig your apps using that account
[19:47] <IronJan> amenado: It booted today some hours ago. I used it to format my HD.
[19:47] <manoff> Ward1983: yeah cool
[19:47] <Ward1983> MaskedOne, move to europe :)
[19:47] <Ward1983> lol
[19:48] <manoff> Ward1983: so.... mysqladmin --user=root password frotz... roll it!
[19:48] <MaskedOne> Ward, maybe a dumb question (sad I havent figured this out yet) how does one do the message like you sent to me? (yellow name etc...)
[19:48] <amenado> IronJan-> let it cool off for a few, maybe the lazer on it is weak...then boot again on liveCd
[19:48] <mouz> Someone writes in a bug on launchpad 'Subscribing motu-sru for their approval.'. What does that mean? Did the person subscribe himself of did he subscribe the bug?
[19:48] <Ward1983> manoff, lol im working on it, ill try it after my smoke :) ill let you know if it worked
[19:48] <manoff> Ward1983: cool mate
[19:49] <manoff> Ward1983: have a nice smoke (Remember kids, smoking is hazardous to your health)
[19:49] <joaopinto> mouz, he subscribed a team to the bug
[19:49] <MaskedOne> But tastes soo good :)
[19:49] <THE_Stig> and how can i make that root?
[19:49] <pen> how do I change the icon used by the autoscrolling in firefox 3? it's ugly
[19:49] <MaskedOne> make what root THE_Stig?
[19:49] <THE_Stig> yes
[19:49] <mouz> joaopinto: thnx.
[19:50] <Ward1983> manoff, correct, my health is like 40 at the moment, and no armor left :O
[19:50] <cheltonian1> hey Legend u still here ?
[19:50] <manoff> Ward1983: sad to hear mate
[19:50] <sonhadorPR> Flannel: I addedd the line, but it gives me an error, no such partition
[19:50] <legend2440> cheltonian1: yes
[19:50] <IronJan> amenado: may I send you the error messages by pm?
[19:50] <MaskedOne> THE_Stig: What are you trying to make root?
[19:50] <manoff> "yes"
[19:50] <THE_Stig> ok
[19:50] <manoff> lol
[19:50] <Ward1983> manoff, was joking :) , my health is ok, and ill eventually stop smoking when im out of here, still living with my parents
[19:50] <Ward1983> need to destress
[19:51] <cheltonian1> Thanks for your help all OK. I guess you are now Legend 2441 :-)
[19:51] <THE_Stig> i don`t have a linux experience
[19:51] <manoff> Ward1983: yeah mate what ever makes you roll :)
[19:51] <grisuno> rc.powers.cl
[19:51] <THE_Stig> so i don`t now how to use it
[19:51] <legend2440> cheltonian1: lol no problem
[19:51] <manoff> THE_Stig: tell us what you need to do
[19:51] <manoff> THE_Stig: more details will help
[19:51] <speedhunt3r> I was testing my OS migration, so I disabled 1 hardisk in bios to see if the migration is working, it does boot into ubuntu but it's mounted at "/dev/hdb2" which was the mount point of the original location.. why is it showing?
[19:51] <MaskedOne> Its ok THE_Stig, it take some time to learn everything on any operating system. Just give it time and you'll become a pro :D
[19:51] <tacosalad> i kno this isn't the place but i can't find anywhere else to get help- i've registered my nick and identified with it, but everytime i try to log in ##java, it tells me i can't join i have to identify..
[19:51] <THE_Stig> thanks but i can handle it
[19:51] <amenado> IronJan-> nope, paste it in pastebin please
[19:52] <manoff> THE_Stig: ok take care
[19:52] <manoff> you can always ask questions here
[19:52] <The-Compiler> LMAO: A mate of mine has never used Linux before, he only plays games at his redmonder-system and now he wants to code a virus for linux xD
[19:52] <THE_Stig> i will
[19:52] <manoff> The-Compiler: :)
[19:52] <manoff> The-Compiler: wannabe hacker
[19:52] <manoff> script kid
[19:52] <leonardo> i
[19:52] <leonardo> l
[19:52] <tacosalad> so if anyone could either help me join ##java or help me with a little bit of java
[19:52] <leonardo> l
[19:52] <FloodBot3> leonardo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:52] <muratti> i need a hand about a serious situation...
[19:53] <muratti> anybody would helP_
[19:53] <amenado> speedhunt3r-> i dont believe your mount point is /dev/hdb2
[19:53] <cdecarlo> tacosalad: that means you have to identify yourself as the person who has actually registered the nickname
[19:53] <MaskedOne> Good luck with infecting Linux with a virus rofl
[19:53] <manoff> tacosalad: wrong chan to ask about java
[19:53] <manoff> tacosalad: use "/join #java"
[19:53] <tacosalad> cdecarlo - how?
[19:53] <IronJan> amenado: http://pastebin.com/d7d029450
[19:53] <SliMM> can anyone help me tune my Hardy a bit, because it runs awful?
[19:53] <cdecarlo> tacosalad: you do that by /msg NickServ identifiy <password>
[19:53] <MaskedOne> SliMM whats the problem?
[19:53] <SliMM> awfully*
[19:53] <muratti> i need help about changing the partition of my o.s.
[19:53] <cdecarlo> *identify
[19:54] <SliMM> MaskedOne: it's just very slow
[19:54] <tacosalad> cdecarlo- i did that, still not letting me join
[19:54] <dkt> muratti: need to explain a little mroe about what you need
[19:54] <cdecarlo> tacosalad: we've exhausted my ability to help you
[19:54] <SliMM> MaskedOne: many crashes, etc.
[19:54] <MaskedOne> SLiMM, do you have the graphical effects turned on or off?
[19:54] <SliMM> MaskedOne: on
[19:54] <amenado> IronJan-> thats your cdrom drive? or is that the hard disk you just erased?
[19:54] <MaskedOne> Try turning them off then see how it runs
[19:55] <tacosalad> it just says i'm already logged in as tacosalad.
[19:55] <syk> i "attempted" to reinstall over an existing partition of ubuntu and i think i may not have did it right, when grub loads all the options are double, how can i fix it
[19:55] <brygee> Jalathan: any luck?
[19:55] <MaskedOne> SliMM, for me I can run effects but my card isnt well supported so it laggs more than it should, so I turn it off and it runs slick
[19:55] <SliMM> MaskedOne: well, I had them off for a while, and it worked better, but still quite poor
[19:55] <muratti> dkt: ok, i will. this ubuntu is installed by me in windows, and i need to move it onto a ext3 partition, is there any way?
[19:55] <KaiForce> SliMM how much RAM do you have?
[19:55] <MaskedOne> SLiMM, how much RAM, Processor speed, etc... do you have?
[19:55] <SliMM> MaskedOne: my card is well supported, but it's old
[19:55] <cdecarlo> tacosalad: you should be able to /join ##java
[19:55] <Jalathan> brygee: it's looking like 3.x will be KDE4 only
[19:55] <SliMM> KaiForce: 512
[19:55] <IronJan> amendo: I think it's the hard drive. my cd rom drives were listed as /dev/cdromX
[19:56] <brygee> Jalathan: aka not for ubuntu?
[19:56] <muratti> dkt: do i have to install it once again and wait for all those mb's of updates???..:(
[19:56] <tacosalad> it still just shoots back "##java :You need to be identified to join that channel"
[19:56] <KaiForce> SliMM if you run "top" are you using pagefile?
[19:56] <leonardo> lj
[19:56] <leonardo> ,
[19:56] <leonardo> l
[19:56] <Miesco> What package is the sticky notes
[19:56] <dkt> muratti: sorry man ive never installed right from windows
[19:56] <KaiForce> look at "Swap" & value for "Used"
[19:56] <SliMM> MaskedOne: 512 MB, Intel P4 @ 2.4 GHz, a 64 MB Siluro (lol) GF 4
[19:57] <SliMM> KaiForce: what is "pagefile"?
[19:57] <amenado> tacosalad-> just my opinion, undernet #java is frienlier anyways
[19:57] <dkt> muratti: but i would think that it would have resized your ntfs part and then created an ext3 part for you
[19:57] <MaskedOne> SLiMM should be fine, 512 is what i used to have.......Might want to search for people with similar problems on www.ubuntuforums.org
[19:57] <tacosalad> amenado - thanks, i'll try that
[19:57] <Jalathan> brygee: KDE4 is in the repo's, and you could try installing & running "ktorrent-kde4" (sudo apt-get install ktorrent-kde4) under KDE3.  there might be another option though...
[19:57] <syk> i "attempted" to reinstall over an existing partition of ubuntu and i think i may not have did it right, when grub loads all the options are double, how can i fix it
[19:57] <majikins> hi does anyone know how I can switch window managers for different users?
[19:57] <KaiForce> SliMM run top in a  terminal window and tell me what it says next to Swap & Used
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> dkt If he used .. wubi.. it does not...  I wish people would read the wubi faq before using it
[19:58] <leonardo> ok
[19:58] <tacosalad> i'm getting a new laptop tomorrow- a laptop convertable, they work well with ubuntu?
[19:58] <dkt> Jack_Sparrow: i dont use wubi ;-)
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> majikins options where they login
[19:58] <Ward1983> majikins, you probably allready know this but you can also select a window manager under sessions at the loginscreen :)
[19:58] <cheltonian1> Legend, just a quicky, how did that file get overwritten ?
[19:58] <muratti> dkt: i just opened gparted and saw that, no, ubuntu just installed itself onto a ntfs partition, and did not changed it's format even for itself...
[19:58] <brygee> Jalathan: i'm going to roll the dice
[19:58] <SliMM> KaiForce: Swap:  1469936k total,       48k used,  1469888k free,   213212k cached
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> dkt I done use or recommend it.. myself
[19:58] <MaskedOne> tacosalad, just buy a Ubuntu Laptop to begin with and there ya go
[19:58] <sparkyy> Is there a decent gui compression tool for ubuntu.  File roller is a useless pile o' 0's and 1's
[19:59] <KaiForce> ok, RAM looks OK, some other problem
[19:59] <biberao> hi
[19:59] <ASULutzy> Yea, Wubi isn't so hot... It's good for people who just kinda wanna test Ubuntu out, but I mean, that's sorta what the live-cd is for
[19:59] <majikins> ok so I install the window managers and just choose the ones at login?
[19:59] <jendel> test
[19:59] <felipe__> s
[19:59] <sparkyy> why is fileroller even included in Ubuntu
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sparkyy Perhaps 7zip is more your speed
[19:59] <felipe__> heyyy i need helppp
[19:59] <dkt> muratti: then i guess your sol... well not quite... reinstall ubuntu let it resize ntfs... then copy over the cached pkgs
[19:59] <manoff> how much do these Ubuntu Laptops cost actually? ;)
[19:59] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow, I can use the cli. Its just when I want something quick
[19:59] <felipe__> would some body help me plsss
[19:59] <dkt> muratti: will save you some dling
[19:59] <MaskedOne> manoff, www.system76.com
[19:59] <_adriaan> ASULutzy: yeah, but wubi runs faster. I hate starting from live CD, usually takes ages to do anything
[19:59] <majikins> will I be able to force a manager for a user instead of having the option?
[19:59] <Jalathan> brygee: ktorrent 3.x is currently being ported over to Win32, so i'm looking into seeing if it'll run under WINE
[19:59] <ccaic> 大家好
[19:59] <manoff> felipe__: sure whats the prob?
[19:59] <ccaic> hello.all
[19:59] <manoff> hi
[20:00] <sparkyy> Honestly I think fileroller was a bad choice
[20:00] <ccaic> new here
[20:00] <MaskedOne> or DELL and many others sell Ubuntu Laptops
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sparkyy Please refrain from the comments.. If you dont like it find something else
[20:00] <ccaic> first install irc ,hehe
[20:00] <ASULutzy> _adriaan: Yea, that's true, but when it comes down to it, if you're actually going to be using Ubuntu legitimately then you should really give it an ext3 partition to rest in instead of sticking it inside NTFS
[20:00] <muratti> dkt: what is "copy over the cached pkgs", and how is it done??...:(
[20:00] <felipe__> hey dude manoff can modyfy my xorg and i cant see all my screen
[20:00] <manoff> ccaic: cool
[20:00] <Jalathan> brygee: i wish you good luck
[20:00] <felipe__> ill talk 2 u on priv ok??
[20:00] <_adriaan> ASULutzy: sure, but if that's the case, you wouldn't be testing it, would you? :)
[20:00] <manoff> sure felipe
[20:00] <Miesco> Does gnome have sticky notes?
[20:00] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow,
[20:00] <legend2440> cheltonian1: the /etc/hosts file has root permissions. that is why you had to open it with gksu gedit. gksu gave you root permissions so you cold save the changes
[20:01] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow, was it supposed to be in the application menu somewhere?
[20:01] <_adriaan> ASULutzy: I mean, I do hope people who like it transfer to an actual hard drive install :)
[20:01] <ASULutzy> _adriaan: lol, well, I've seen it happen more than a few times that the Wubi install turns into a pseudo-permanent install
[20:01] <SliMM> KaiForce: what other problem could it be?
[20:01] <ccaic> why say cool?
[20:01] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow, I did add 7-zip. tx
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sparkyy I am not sure it is in the repos...
[20:01] <KaiForce> SliMM tough to say without having it right in front of me.
[20:01] <SliMM> KaiForce: I just hope Hardy is still full of bugs that will get fixed soon
[20:01] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow, yes it is
[20:01] <_adriaan> Miesco: what do you mean exactly? Is tomboy not what you're looking for?
[20:01] <ASULutzy> _adriaan: Yea definitely. It's good, and certainly much better performance than just using the live-cd to boot, but it's certainly not something you'd want to use for months/years
[20:02] <manoff> ccaic: why not?
[20:02] <brygee> Jalathan: thank you for the good luck, would you recommend any torrent program
[20:02] <manoff> ccaic: its cool to say cool
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !rtorrent
[20:02] <_adriaan> ASULutzy: We'll agree on that :)
[20:02] <sparkyy> Jack_Sparrow, I will just go old skool. lol
[20:02] <manoff> ccaic: generic nonsense
[20:02] <dkt> muratti: give me a sec

[20:02] <kat_aq> ahh! i installed some new updates and after i restarted, my wireless internet stopped working
[20:02] <KaiForce> SliMM well on my Vaio laptop, the Hardy upgrade killed my Ubuntu install (known bug) so there is a good chance.  This cheesy Acer laptop I use as a Winterm upgraded fine though...
[20:02] <pen> how do I change the icon used by the autoscrolling in firefox 3? it's ugly
[20:02] <brygee> Jack_Sparrow: rtorrent you say
[20:02] <kat_aq> it was as if the network card got uninstalled or something
[20:02] <bogey-> Peng: themes
[20:03] <KaiForce> it is 512 and lower proc than yours and it is running well
[20:03] <bogey-> Pen: themes
[20:03] <_adriaan> Miesco: I see.

[20:03] <khaur> is there a metapackage for installing LAMP ?
[20:03] <legend2440> cheltonian1: sorry misunderstood your question. you mean how did .workgroup get added to your hostname?  not sure but a lot of people have been having same problem as you did
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !info rtorrent
[20:03] <bogey-> !lamp

[20:03] <SliMM> KaiForce: gutsy worked pretty well.. anyway, better
[20:04] <SliMM> KaiForce: I hate the fact that I got used to Hardy
[20:04] <dkt> muratti: not sure where it would store it on your setup... but take a look at /var/cache/apt
[20:04] <ASULutzy> Oh wow, can I ues rtorrent to remotely download torrents through ssh?
[20:04] <KaiForce> in that case, i would guess some hardware component is slowing you down
[20:04] <AlexRADL> Hey guys.  I need some help.  I am following the guide on Ubuntu.com for syncing an iPhone.

[20:10] <ZRegis> Hello is there anyone who now a way to limit memory of an application ?
[20:10] <thehurley> ubuntu google and a Windows CD will solve your problem
[20:11] <ubuntu> thehurley, how do i do that?
[20:11] <joaopinto> AlexRADL, you didn't read the how-to, you should: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[20:11] <dkt> ubuntu: if you really want to wipe the entire machine again.. jsut use a low lever format.. like if its a maxtor hd grab the maxblast software and wipe the drive clean
[20:11] <ccaic> Jack_Sparrow, yeah,i use xchat
[20:11] <dkt> ubuntu: sorry for my horrid spelling
[20:11] <thehurley> ubuntu boot using the windows CD, select recovery mode or something like that and type: fdisk /mbr
[20:11] <AlexRADL> Ok, I'll try that.
[20:11] <ianbeyer> how in the heck do I define system default gateway in Ubuntu?

[20:12] <ccaic> ooo.... I see
[20:12] <manoff> THE_Stig: what you need?
[20:12] <ccaic> thanks
[20:12] <joaopinto> ubuntu, if you want to get rid of grub you must replace it with something else, if you want to install windows, you must replace with the windows MBR, for that matter you must use a windows uility, fdisk /mbr or fixmbr
[20:12] <THE_Stig> i want to log in to my computer on root so i can delete som files but i can`t
[20:12] <thehurley> ubuntu go to your bios and change the boot order so that the CD room is first
[20:12] <manoff> THE_Stig: just ask the question and see if anything happens mate
[20:12] <manoff> THE_Stig: use sudo
[20:12] <rouini> can any one give me a name of 3d game
[20:12] <dkt> THE_Stig: try typing this from a console... sudo bash -l
[20:12] <ccaic> Jack_Sparrow: and how to color the fonts.?
[20:12] <manoff> THE_Stig: "sudo rm foobaz"
[20:12] <ZRegis> Is there some one
[20:12] <joaopinto> dkt, please stop recommeding a low level format for something that will not help to get an usable boot loader...
[20:12] <ZRegis> ?
[20:12] <THE_Stig> what is that?
[20:12] <bogey-> !noroot | the_stig
[20:12] <IronJan> amenado: The Live CD shouldn't care about how my HD is formatted, but since i formatted it, the cd doesn't work anymore. btw: is half an hour enough time for the cdromdrive to cool down? i will try again
[20:13] <manoff> THE_Stig: sudo is command that allows you to run other commands as superuser
[20:13] <dkt> joaopinto: have you tried fdisk /mbr on a grub installed machine?
[20:13] <AlexRADL> joaopinto: I get the same error when doing that:  "W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783

[20:14] <joaopinto> ubuntu, please ask on ##windows, your question is not ubuntu related
[20:14] <ubuntu> dkt, thehurley, joaopinto, how do i use MBR?
[20:14] <legend2440> ccaic: here are the xchat Set variables and what they do  http://xchat-win32.berlios.de/setvars.html the one you want is   text_color_nicks - Toggle colored nicks.
[20:14] <manoff> gr33b:
[20:14] <evil_tech> i enabled the restricted nvidia driver and now i have no picture on the screen
[20:14] <bogey-> AlexRADL: you have another package manager open or you forgot to use sudo
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> AlexRADL Please use the pastebin instead as we have asked
[20:14] <dkt> joaopinto: well ive had m$'s fdisk not clean the mbr for me...
[20:14] <ubuntu> dkt, thehurley, joaopinto, but it is ubuntu related... i cant stop grub loader..
[20:14] <joaopinto> ubottu, you dont use an MBR, MBR is the initial boot code stored on the initial sector of your disk, you install it with some boot loader installer

[20:16] <bogey-> brokenquiche: although it is recommended to recover before you test, passmark will not destry data on the device unless the device itself is failing

[20:16] <thehurley> oh jesus
[20:16] <brokenquiche> bogey~: This computer is highly unstable with Linux, so...

[20:16] <brokenquiche> Maybe it will?
[20:16] <zth> im going to reinstall my computer soon, but i would very much like to keep all my emails in thunderbird, is there a way to do this?
[20:16] <bogey-> brokenquiche: Then no it will not.

[20:17] <Debia1> How do I update the list of oses in the grub menu?
[20:17] <brokenquiche> bogey~: Sorry, but I don't follow - why do you conclude that?
[20:17] <bogey-> !grub | Debia1
[20:17] <AlexCONRAD> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I'll look at this ressource
[20:17] <brokenquiche> I said i's highly /unstab;e/ with Linux *boggles*

[20:20] <brygee> in other words, i don't want to dual boot with 7.1 and 8.04.. i just want it to be straight 8.04, and to keep my files

[20:21] <ironfoot_495> ﻿can you tell how to copy files by ssh from windows to ubuntu and redirecting files from ubuntu back to windows?
[20:21] <Shadow420> Debial it will not scew up the mrb but it will make a change in grub which will find all of the other OS'es you have installed
[20:21] <dkt> brygee: and only certain upgrades work/are supported
[20:21] <kat_aq> well i downloaded the driver for rt2860 and that worked fine, up until i installed some updates and restarted the computer
[20:21] <ccaic> Jack_Sparrow,  it seems that you've used ubuntu for long?
[20:22] <dkt> brygee: just went from 6.06 to 8 on my server using that

[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ccaic awhile yes
[20:22] <dcordes> kat_aq: just rerun the process! the apt-get upgrade updated your kernel version so the custom built module doesn't work anymore ;)

[20:23]  * Aethelred reads
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> SpudDogg Only because I just take the easy questions
[20:23] <dee_> hi guys, i need help installing ubuntu to an external drive
[20:23] <beoba> this only started today, which makes me think a recent ubuntu update broke things
[20:23] <kat_aq> man , there must be a lot of noobs like me in here trying to get help.. i wish i could be one of the ones who knew the answers
[20:23] <ZRegis> Is the some one who could help me ?
[20:24] <Slice`> hi
[20:24] <ccaic> yeah... anyone here maybe an amazing one
[20:24] <fyrestrtr> ZRegis: you want to know how much memory an application is using, or you want to limit the maximum memory an application can use?
[20:24] <manoff> kat_aq: whats the prob?
[20:24] <Slice`> I've got a quick question
[20:24] <dcordes> kat_aq: usually it's easy as that for modules: download and extract module source tarball, cd to source, do "make && sudo make install && depmod -ae && modprobe <modulenmae>>
[20:24] <SpudDogg> Jack_Sparrow:  you probably dont remember (and i cant remember specifics either) but you've helped me greatly over the years...thanks again :)
[20:24] <Slice`> To be totally honest with you guys - I didn't mean to install Ubuntu at first.
[20:24] <Slice`> Infact, I've had next to no Linux experience in my life.
[20:24] <ZRegis> fyrestrtr: I want to limit
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> SpudDogg Glad to have helped
[20:24] <Slice`> I actually installed Ubuntu because I couldn't install XP since I have a SATA HDD
[20:24] <dee_> i want ubuntu to boot only when the external is connected
[20:24] <dcordes> ask!
[20:25] <Slice`> so, my question is this -
[20:25] <ZRegis> fyrestrtr: For one application
[20:25] <Slice`> I installed WINE
[20:25] <Slice`> and I installed Steam successfully
[20:25] <manoff> Slice`: you can install XP to SATA
[20:25] <AlexCONRAD> Jack_Sparrow: sorry to bother, but I don't see how I could find out where to put extra packages I want to add to my CD
[20:25] <ompaul> !enter | Slice`
[20:25] <kat_aq> any particular place i should extract it to?
[20:25] <kat_aq> and what is cd to sourc?
[20:25] <Debia1> Slice`: good for you
[20:25] <Marius> hi i need a page to past long code (text)
[20:25] <Slice`> I cannot, however talk to my friends via steam
[20:25] <dcordes> kat_aq: doesn't matter. just use ~
[20:25] <Slice`> so how do I do that?
[20:25] <SpudDogg> Slice`:  so the friends network is not working?
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> AlexCONRAD If you are trying to remaster a cd...  there are a couple of tools for that.
[20:26] <Slice`> I can see my friends
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !remaster
[20:26] <Slice`> just cant send messages
[20:26] <manoff> Slice`: does your network work?
[20:26] <legend2440> !paste |Marius
[20:26] <dcordes> kat_aq: probably look up the bash first time howto in ubuntu wiki

[20:30] <kat_aq> manoff: i dont really know what to write in the terminal
[20:30] <kat_aq> thats the problem
[20:30] <ihavenoname>  .....
[20:30] <Aethelred> dkt: I have no network, and command-line only.
[20:30] <ompaul> m_newton, this is not a place for non support based conversations
[20:31] <manoff> kat_aq: what are you trying to do
[20:31] <[newb]Miki> The wiki
[20:31] <elmer> How do you get apps into Openbox's dock?
[20:31] <[newb]Miki> i had to eneble something in driver menu, but that list was empty or something :)
[20:31] <dkt> Aethelred: no network? why not? ping www.google.com doesnt work?
[20:31] <ihavenoname>  ÖÐÎÄÄÜ¿´µ½Âð?

[20:31] <evil_tech> why does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work like it used to? and how do i make it work like it used to
[20:31] <ihavenoname>  no chinese
[20:31] <Aethelred> dkt: Uh.  It's not that networking isn't working correctly, it's that the machine isn't connected to a net right now.
[20:32] <dkt> Aethelred: follow ompauls directions... theres plenty of ways to install and run programs from command line
[20:32] <manoff> kat_aq: what does not?
[20:32] <kat_aq> manoff: my wireless network card
[20:32] <manoff> hmm
[20:32] <ihavenoname>  what
[20:32] <kat_aq> it's as if the driver was uninstalled
[20:32] <dkt> Aethelred: oh.. well you could use the nv driver temporarily?
[20:32] <kat_aq> manoff: i need to reinstall the driver but I don't know how
[20:32] <manoff> kat_aq: wireless netcards are tricky, did you check the ubuntu manual
[20:32] <manoff> !wireless | kat_aq
[20:33] <dkt> whats the command to reconfigure x from command line? ie use the default autodetected drivers...
[20:33] <kat_aq> im checking it now

[20:33] <dcordes> dkt: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will run a guided setup

[20:34] <compaqowner> problem with tux type
[20:34] <evil_tech> why does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work like it used to? and how do i make it work like it used to?
[20:34] <Aethelred> I was doing recommended updates and something said I needed to do something with restricted driver blah blah blah (don't recall exact words), and so I selected that from the menu, and now X fails to start.
[20:34] <dcordes> dkt: if you read up a bit how /etc/X11/xorg.conf works it's always easier and more transparent to get things working
[20:34] <Ward1983> manoff, thanx it works now
[20:34] <Aethelred> dkt: It feels like I should be able to un-set whatever that option was, and get back on track.
[20:34] <manoff> Ward1983: cool mate
[20:34] <dgts123> how can i display the groups a user is member of?
[20:35] <dkt> dcordes: just trying to help Aethelred couldnt remember the command off the top of my head ;-)

[20:35] <Baltazaar> less /etc/group | grep user?
[20:35] <magnetron> ok, how do i uncompress all the .7z files in a folder? p7zip -d *  "doesn't work", p7zip tells me i 'm using an incorrect syntax.
[20:35] <dkt> Aethelred: then do a  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, get yourself back into x... and then try and figure out what went wrong
[20:36] <arthur_kalm> Hello everyone, I'm looking to do an http based installation of Ubuntu server. I'm looking for a structure similar to this: http://ftp.telus.net/pub/centos/5.1/os/i386/
[20:36] <Ward1983> manoff, i did it all the time in my local channel untill i felt i rarely got helped myself, so now i dont come there anymore

[20:36] <manoff> Ward1983: aha
[20:36] <Baltazaar> dgts123: less /etc/group | grep user?
[20:36] <IronJan> If I check an Ubuntu Live CD for errors: should there be any mesages on the screen or just a "_" blinkin?
[20:37] <compaqowner> anyone eva experience black screen when opening tux type or math
[20:37] <magnetron> loxley_: sorry, could you rephrase that? i use -d as my option here. it works for individual files.
[20:37] <dgts123> Baltazaar, thx, i just found that "groups username" works as well :)
[20:37] <Aethelred> axz: I used nspluginwrapper to get flash working under 64-bit Firefox
[20:37] <elmer> How do you get apps into Openbox's dock?
[20:38] <m_newton> Help, how do i add git to repositories
[20:38] <axz> Aethelred, but doe sit also work good?
[20:38] <Pazmanx> Is there a channel for firefox questions?
[20:38] <dcordes> m_newton: sorry, not sure what you mean
[20:38] <barbara_> I have two laptops running ubuntu hardy and looking for some networking help.
[20:38] <Aethelred> axz: it worked fine for me.  I avoid flash, so I may have missed cases where it didn't work.
[20:38] <manoff> kat_aq: you still here?
[20:38] <evil_tech> why does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work like it used to? and how do i make it work like it used to?
[20:39] <fyrestrtr> barbara_: help with what exactly
[20:39] <Baltazaar> dgts123: Didn't know that one...
[20:39] <henninge> barbara_: let's hear it
[20:39] <kat_aq> manoff:yea
[20:39] <dcordes> m_newton: maybe you are looking for package "git-core"?
[20:39] <m_newton> dcordes, I want compiz to update from GIT rEPOS but i dont know ho to add a repository
[20:39] <Lynet> barbara_: What help? Wireless drivers? File sharing? Sharing internet connection?
[20:39] <Pazmanx> new to linux, loving hardy so far, just want firefox to display the way web pages intend them to look.
[20:39] <barbara_> fyrestrtr I just want to be able to access the other computer
[20:39] <barbara_> share files
[20:39] <dcordes> m_newton: a git repository provides you with source code. you fetch this, build it and install it
[20:40] <|ZX|> Pazmanx, like wat? flash?
[20:40] <newk> loving hardy, but cant get tux type or math to run for my lil sis
[20:40] <Baltazaar> Pazmanx: so what has that to do with Ubuntu?
[20:40] <dcordes> m_newton: it's not binary packages you can install with apt-get
[20:40] <Pazmanx> Baltazaar, font style/size mostly
[20:40] <fyrestrtr> barbara_: are the computers connected currently? Are they on a network?
[20:40] <Pazmanx> Bal, i did install the restricted mod pack, no help
[20:40] <m_newton> dcordes, ??
[20:40] <barbara_> fyrestrtr I have both computers currently connected to a wireless router.
[20:41] <dcordes> m_newton: sorry can't help
[20:41] <PentarexBG> hi is anyone here
[20:41] <barbara_> The network has two xp computers on it and two ubuntu laptops.
[20:41] <Baltazaar> Pazmanx: still don't get it. Is it the Nvidia driver problem your'e referring to?
[20:41] <PentarexBG> bring3: are u here
[20:41] <m_newton> Anyone know how TO ADD A REPOSITORY???
[20:41] <TheBartman> anyone around
[20:41] <fyrestrtr> in order to share files with Windows, you need to setup a Samba share on your ubuntu machines.
[20:41] <[newb]Miki> I just tried to edit that file, but it DIDN't work
[20:41] <dcordes> barbara_: best use samba so you can access shares with both, windows and linux machines
[20:41] <ASULutzy> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for suggesting rTorrent earlier... It's perfect for what I need. Now I can tell my desktop at home to download files while I'm at work through ssh and they'll be waiting for me when I get home
[20:41] <barbara_> fyrestrtr I will settle for the two ubuntu laptops to share files.
[20:42] <dcordes> !samba | barbara_
[20:42] <dkt> m_newton: gksu gedit /etc/apt/source.list?
[20:42] <Baltazaar> m_newton: edit /etc/apt/sources.list?
[20:42] <evil_tech> how do i uninstall the nvidia driver from the command line
[20:42] <Baltazaar> s/source/sources
[20:42] <barbara_> Please explain SWAT.
[20:42] <m_newton> dkt?? how Baltazaar how
[20:43] <Baltazaar> open the file, and add the repo? m_newton
[20:43] <dkt> m_newton: press alt-f2 then type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:43] <m_newton> Baltazaar, srry noob, i got the file what address do i put in...here is my site
[20:44] <Pazmanx> Balta, not sure, everything else looks/acts fine, feels like a character encoding issue, or a default font overriding the web pages style or options, etc..  This is a fresh clean install of hardy, and no mods to fox beta 3.

[20:44] <barbara_> fyrestrtr what does !samba mean? My husband is not home.
[20:44] <microwaver> any news on the keyboard bug in ubuntu 7.10?
[20:44] <socr> where can i find the ubuntu start-up logo ?
[20:44] <Yasumoto> m_newton: and then you can follow the format: deb *url* hardy main
[20:44] <[newb]Miki> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI <-- really doesn't work for me :s
[20:45] <fyrestrtr> barbara_: assuming both machines have IP addresses from the same router, you can share files by NFS (which mounts the other computer's disk as a local on yours), you can use SCP (secure copy), you can add the other computer's location to your 'Places' menu in gnome. Pick which one you like. The easiest option is click on Places, then Connect to Server.. in the dialog box that comes up, choose SSH as the service type, add the IP addres
[20:45] <fyrestrtr> s of your remote machine in the 'Server' text box, add your login to the Username box, click on 'Add Bookmark' and give it a friendly name (like Laptop2).
[20:45] <tma> how do I install a new font?

[20:45] <evil_tech> how do i uninstall the nvidia driver from the command line
[20:45] <fyrestrtr> barbara_: text that begins with ! in this channel is a trigger for the channel bot to give you a predefined response.
[20:45] <Yasumoto> m_newton: then do sudo aptitude update, and we'll see what it says
[20:45] <PentarexBG> Can anyone help me with wine
[20:45] <PentarexBG> please
[20:45] <rouge568> tma: get your font file and put it into ./fonts
[20:45] <m_newton> Yasumoto,  ok thanks doing now
[20:46] <microwaver> !keyboard

[20:46] <Grim76__> !ask | PentarexBG

[20:46] <microwaver> !bug
[20:46] <Lynet> fyrestrtr: barbara_: Considering that barbara also has two xp computers on the net, samba is probably the best option.
[20:46] <dkt> PentarexBG: depends on your issue
[20:46] <newk> if any one can help me with my problem plz
[20:46] <socr> PentarexBG: do not whine.. just ask
[20:46] <fyrestrtr> Lynet: she wants to share files between the linux machines.

[20:47] <Panik> Hello guys is there a driver for um, ATI All In Wonder 9000 , so I can use the functionality of my svideo in and out? to lets say rip media or produce a third monitor via my TV for media viewing pleasure?
[20:47] <dcordes> barbara_: that will offer to install the required software
[20:47] <Yasumoto> m_newton: no, I don't beleive you do
[20:47] <PentarexBG> dkt: ok how to click install.exe with wine
[20:47] <Yasumoto> m_newton: I don't actually recall what those are for, maybe the source files? I'll check really quick

[20:48] <PentarexBG> dkt: and the game will start installing
[20:48] <Yasumoto> m_newton: (but you don't need it)
[20:48] <tma> rouge568, it says path was not found
[20:48] <dkt> PentarexBG: wine install.exe but if you installed wine you should be about to just do a ./install.exe
[20:48] <barbara_> fyrestrtr E: Couldn't find package openssh

[20:49] <PentarexBG> dkt: ok i have wine and i have one game for windows xp (knights of honor) its on 2 cd. The files are .ISO, i unpack the first CD and when i try to click install.exe its getting me an error
[20:49] <philsf> does anyone know of a link that describes the differences (subtle or otherwise) between the different kernel flavors in ubuntu (-rt, -generic, -server, etc)?
[20:49] <dkt> PentarexBG: and the error is?
[20:50] <dcordes> fyrestrtr: are you sure ssh does suite the situation best?
[20:50] <dkt> PentarexBG: do you know if the game works in wine?
[20:50] <fyrestrtr> PentarexBG: first, did you check winehq.org to see how well your game is support, if all?
[20:50] <PentarexBG> dkt: "setup.exe" cannot be opened
[20:50] <fyrestrtr> dcordes: she wants networking between two linux boxes. SSH provides that and does it securely as well.
[20:50] <legend2440> what_the_deuce: in terminal      sudo update-alternatives --config java

[20:53] <manoff> philsf: yeah i was just trying to direct ms. what_the_deuce to correct resources
[20:53] <jill> hi
[20:53] <manoff> hi
[20:54] <leshnix> im running hardy, i have an XP virtualbox session.   i can paste into the XP session, but i can't paste from XP to my host (hardy).   the clipboard settings in vbox are set to bidirectional.   can anyone else replicate this problem?  i'm using 1.6 (not OSE)
[20:54] <sazma> is lak around?
[20:54] <Yasumoto> m_newton: yeah, it looks like it's using git, which is like cvs or svn or bzr, if you've heard of those
[20:54] <philsf> does anyone know of a link that describes the differences (subtle or otherwise) between the different kernel flavors in ubuntu (-rt, -generic, -server, etc)?
[20:54] <m_newton> Yasumoto, how bout http://cgit.compiz-fusion.org/
[20:54] <barbara_> fyrestrtr I am trying to share like you told me but it just gave me this error. :'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
[20:54] <barbara_> You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[20:54] <Yasumoto> m_newton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)
[20:55] <evil_tech> can someone please tell me how to remove the nvidia driver from the command line. it broke my gui and i have no other computer to look it up on google
[20:55] <Yasumoto> m_newton: that looks like a fancier web interface for the git repository
[20:56] <PentarexBG> dkt: are u here
[20:56] <dcordes> barbara_: to share files on your ubuntu just right click the appropiate folder and click sharing options..
[20:56] <PentarexBG> fyrestrtr: knights of honor is supported
[20:56] <barbara_> dcordes I did but it gave me this error 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
[20:56] <barbara_> You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[20:56] <Xpistos> Whenever I open gPodder it flashs as if it is opening and then closes. Or it will open and then when I try to click on something the window goes dark and then closes. I am using hardy and this started happening yesterday. Anybody have any suggestions?
[20:56] <deeperror> magnetron, find ./*.p7 -exec /bin/p7zip -d {} \;
[20:56] <PentarexBG> fyrestrtr: aa i think i made it
[20:56] <Lynet> barbara_: That's an unfortunate bug that's not been fixed yet. When you install samba, you need to log out and log in again before it updates the permissions. Once you log in again, it should work fine.
[20:57] <newk> evil tech: im googling it for u
[20:57] <m_newton> Yasumoto, any ideas?? or do i individually update or sue a script
[20:57] <magnetron> deeperror: thanks alot! cheers!
[20:57] <newk> evil tech: it gives an option to use a generic driver in its place
[20:57] <Yasumoto> m_newton: I'm going to install git and see if I can make it work. what're you trying to get? the compiz fusion source?
[20:57] <barbara_> lynet please explain further, I have yet to even use sama and very new to ubuntu. My husband is out of town.
[20:57] <deeperror> magnetron, gl
[20:58] <Lynet> barbara_: Log out and log in again. It should work fine then.
[20:58] <dcordes> looks like hardy release was not all about stability. I also noticed the nautilus sharing bug and also there is firefox browser in beta
[20:58] <Aethelred> dkt: ok, I've gone through the reconfiguration.... what's next?
[20:58] <m_newton> Yasumoto, not exactly, i want to get the extra plugins and all
[20:58] <dkt> Aethelred: does x start?
[20:58] <BCM43> !ff3 | dcordes
[20:58] <pijay> hi
[20:58] <Aethelred> dkt: do use use:  startx    ?
[20:58] <BCM43> !hi | pijay
[20:58] <newk> evil tech: command is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:59] <Aethelred> dkt:  do I use:   startx   ?
[20:59] <dkt> Aethelred: /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[20:59] <dcordes> BCM43: broadcomm 43xx sucks!
[20:59] <Aethelred> dkt:   ah, ok... I'll try that.
[20:59] <BCM43> dcordes: i know, i have this nickname so it will alert me when people ask about it and i can help them.
[20:59] <PentarexBG> dkt: i have one more problem when it ask the second cd what i gotta do ?
[21:00] <Brandenatwork> When I delete files, and empty trash my free space does not increase
[21:00] <microwaver> anyone know some bypasses / workarounds on the keyboard bug?
[21:00] <jill> if i copy any cd or dvd and then mount it on any directory, can i use it like virtual drive for applications wich not works without cd or dvd in drive?
[21:00] <PentarexBG> dkt: ah i am ok :)
[21:00] <dcordes> BCM43: using a network device with this chipset was my very first problem in ubuntu. I hat to cope with ndiswrapper for days before I had it working :)
[21:00] <dkt> PentarexBG: read up on winehq i really dont know... extract the 2nd iso and copy it to where you saved the first one?
[21:00] <BCM43> jill: yes
[21:00] <Aethelred> dkt: nothing seems to be happening... I enter that command and it returns me a prompt
[21:00] <BCM43> dcordes: i feel you pain, had the same problem on a ppc.
[21:00] <dkt> Aethelred: try alt-f7
[21:00] <barbara_> It seemed to work.
[21:01] <PentarexBG> dkt nope just have to extract it and the wine ask where is the second cd folder :)
[21:01] <wolny> hello how i can install compiz on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[21:01] <manoff> !compiz | wolny
[21:01] <dkt> PentarexBG: good ;-)
[21:01] <PentarexBG> dkt:  10nx m8
[21:01] <wolny> thx man
[21:01] <manoff> np
[21:01] <dcordes> barbara_: works?
[21:01] <SpudDogg> Anyone notice the repos REALLY slow today?
[21:01] <Pazmanx> When you first install ubuntu 8.04 fresh, does one typically add a font pack of any type from Synaptic to help web browsing work better?
[21:01] <jill> is it 100% works or any problems with... with starforce defence of illegal copy or else like laserlock?
[21:02] <barbara_> Yeah, it added the shared options but I still can't see it on the other computer.
[21:02] <barbara_> :(
[21:02] <Lynet> barbara_: Good. Now, if you go to the other ubuntu machine and go to Places - Network you should be able to find the first ubuntu machine and the shared folder. (alternatively, on XP go to network places).
[21:02] <Brandenatwork> ﻿When I delete files, and empty trash my free space does not increase.  Currently I have 0 free space, and it my system is suffering a bit
[21:03] <Yasumoto> m_newton: kk, one second
[21:03] <yofel> Brandenatwork, what did you do?
[21:03] <barbara_> lynet it's not showing up.
[21:03] <BCM43> Brandenatwork: are you getting an error?
[21:04] <Lynet> barbara_: Oh. Dang. It might take a minute or two before it shows up.
[21:04] <Pazmanx> When you first install ubuntu 8.04 fresh, does one typically add a font pack of any type from Synaptic to help web browsing work better?
[21:04] <ruben> hiya. Im having problems connecting my dhcp server. Basically, I want to move the dns and dhcp services from my router ( a sonicwall) to my ubuntu server. My public addres is 216.x.x.x and my internal is 10.x.x.x in the router. I have set my server with eth1 as 216.x.x.x and eth0 as 10.x.x.x but it fails to act as a dhcp server.
[21:04] <Brandenatwork> yofel: well just the normal right click delete, empty trash on icon.  Files are not in the trash can.
[21:04] <Rikkimaru> I have a bunch of a files that are something.php, how can i quickly rename them to something.html ?
 2 wasy easy + hard... which one u want
[21:04] <dcordes> Lynet: in case of the windows machine probably firewall problem
[21:05] <Lynet> dcordes: Usually is. Oh man, do I have horror stories to tell about zonealarm and its ilk.
[21:05] <evil_tech> can someone please tell me how to remove the nvidia driver from the command line. it broke my gui and i have no other computer to look it up on google
[21:05] <dcordes> barbara_: in case of the windows machine probably firewall problem. Can you access other shares from the computer you try to acces the recently setup share from?
[21:05] <manoff> evil_tech: how did you install it?
[21:05] <yofel> Brandenatwork, what ubuntu do you have?
[21:05] <tyranos> evil_tech, how did you install it
[21:05] <manoff> lol
[21:06] <Brandenatwork> yofel: 8.04
[21:06] <evil_tech> through the icon on the taskbar
[21:06] <manoff> hmm
[21:06] <Yasumoto> m_newton: sudo aptitude install git-core
[21:06] <yofel> Brandenatwork, look into ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[21:06] <Yasumoto> m_newton: then git clone git://git.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins-extra
[21:06] <yofel> Brandenatwork, if there are any hidden files left
[21:06] <newk> evil-tech: would u not try use a gmeeric driver instead
[21:07] <evil_tech> told me to reboot i rebooted and now i have no visible screen on tty7
[21:07] <tyranos> evil_tech how did you install it <evil_tech> can someone please tell me how to remove the nvidia driver from the command line. it broke my gui and i have no other computer to look it up on google
[21:07] <newk> generic
[21:07] <ruben> evil_tech: just type sudp dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf , after that you may want to check your xorg.conf file and if it still doesnt work, try "vesa" as a drive instead of nv
[21:07] <Yasumoto> m_newton: then git clone git://git.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins-main
[21:07] <barbara_> lynet dcordes this is a new install but the computer I am on "shiva" doesn't even show up on my other computer (also running ubuntu) "jesus".
[21:07] <waffe> hi guys i'm having some video flicker on google earth and tux racer with ati binary drivers+hardy, any takers?
[21:07] <Brandenatwork> yofel: no hidden files in trash
[21:07] <Yasumoto> m_newton: that'll get you both the main plugins and the extra ones, depending on what you want
[21:07] <evil_tech> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt work like it used to
[21:07] <Aethelred> dkt: I have more errors... the log complains of a mismatch:  NVIDIA driver is one version (100.14.11) and the NVIDIA kernal module version does not match.
[21:07] <evil_tech> only changes input devices
[21:07] <m_newton> Yasumoto, Ya, ok thats whati was doing... but well kinda a pain i guess since sympatic not u[pdate
[21:08] <tyranos> evil_tech , sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[21:08] <barbara_> lynet dcordes are there things I was supposed to install or setup before hand?
[21:08] <tyranos> evil tech
[21:08] <dkt> Aethelred: you got a new kern and didnt build new drivers?
[21:08] <Lynet> barbara_: Does "jesus" see the XP machines?
[21:08] <Aethelred> dkt: I do not think I got a new kernel
[21:08] <yofel> Brandenatwork, try using the 'disk usage analyser' to find out what eats up your space
[21:08] <barbara_> Yes. but it can't access any of the folders on them even in samba.
[21:09] <evil_tech> yay gui again
[21:09] <Yasumoto> m_newton: sudo aptitude install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra will work too
[21:09] <newk> waffe: i get a flicker in tux type
[21:09] <Yasumoto> m_newton: and that'll always be kept up to date
[21:09] <evil_tech> thank you much
[21:09] <barbara_> lynet Yes. but it can't access any of the folders on them even in samba.
[21:09] <Yasumoto> m_newton: I dunno how current it is though
[21:09] <waffe> its very bad in google earth but minor in tux racer
[21:09] <m_newton> Yasumoto, ya but thats not from git = not updated
[21:09] <newk> waffe: my screen flickers goes black
[21:09] <newk> i press
[21:09] <newk> esc and
[21:09] <Aethelred> dkt: I suppose it's possible though.  How can I check this?
[21:09] <newk> program ends
[21:09] <FloodBot3> newk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:10] <ubuntuisloved> is there a way to limit the file to a certain extension in VSFTPD ?

[21:12] <DrMitch> is there a way to automatically update the nvidia X drivers whenever the kernel is updated? i just updated to 2.6.24, now I have to manually run the NVIDIA X11 driver installer again :-(.
[21:12] <newk> waffe: my screen flickers black, goes off completely and then i press esc and the gui comes back and tux type has ended
[21:12] <ronnie> microwaver: using quike-key
[21:12] <barbara_> Can you help me with my problem?
[21:12] <amrik> DrMitch: not that I know of, but I compiled my own kernel
[21:12] <microwaver> ronnie, how do you mean?
[21:12] <ubuntuisloved> LOL >>I'm italian
[21:12] <microwaver> ronnie, what does quike-key do?
[21:12] <Lynet> barbara_: Not really sure what's wrong. It *should* show up on the network now.
[21:13] <Aethelred> DrMitch: I think I'm having exactly the same problem.   X won't start.
[21:13] <joaopinto> DrMitch, if you have the standard package it does get updated automatically, unless there is some unplanned issue with the upgrade
[21:13] <barbara_> lynet can I send you a screen shot of what I'm seeing?
[21:13] <DrMitch> Joachim, any clue which package that is?
[21:13] <Lynet> barbara_: Sure.
[21:13] <joaopinto> several people have reported problems with the latest updated. I personally did not have
[21:13] <DrMitch> there's like 20 nvidia packages
[21:13] <m_newton> Lets not sware guys!!
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy
[21:13] <joaopinto> DrMitch, it's probably related to the nvidia-glx-new which was updated
[21:13] <waffe> newk: mine works, its just annoying. direct rendering is on and everything
[21:13] <joaopinto> DrMitch, but the package did got updated
[21:14] <unavailable> who swore?
[21:14] <Aethelred> DrMitch: how do you manually install the NVIDIA X11 driver installer?
[21:14] <avis> has anyone got Eve online working with hardy ?
[21:14] <amrik> Aethelred: he probably does what I do; download the .run package from nvidia and run it
[21:14] <DrMitch> Aethelred, download from www.nvidia.com
[21:14] <newk> waffe: sorry to annoy but was there any additional packages to install other than those automatically installed by synaptic
[21:14] <Brandenatwork> yofel: well the disk analyzer looks right, says my home is 100% when i delete something it shows it has been deleted when I run the analyzer, but I am still at 0 free space, ths is after I deleted a 700 mb iso

[21:16] <barbara_> lynet sent
[21:16] <DrMitch> Bagualas, edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:16] <avis> Lynet, yes it works ok with the exception of sound.  its actually a pretty neat game, i dont keep up with such things, seemed like a very nice time waster.  i might pay the fee if i could get sound working
[21:16] <joaopinto> Bagualas, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[21:25] <mDemocritus> amrik: nope... works fine with the 2.6.22-17 kernel from gutsy
[21:25] <waffe> *poke* guys, still no takers on my flicker issues?
[21:25] <tvn2007> hi I want to run a command on a host machine via ssh -- I believe it's ssh -exec soemthing but can't remember correctly.  any help ?
[21:25] <mDemocritus> amrik: but X doesn't work with that kernel D:
[21:25] <yofel> dirk_, right-click panel -> add to panel -> network-monitor i think
[21:25] <crdlb> waffe: that is a driver limitation, don't use compiz if you want 3d apps to be flicker-free
[21:25] <amrik> mDemocritus: aw man what the hell that sucks. whats the error with X?
[21:25] <dirk_> yofel: no, that's not it, I tried that
[21:26] <joaopinto> littlepinkdot, yes it does get install into /usr/bin, you need to install  php5-cli
[21:26] <cosmic_> hi @ all
[21:26] <mirak> hi
[21:26] <mirak> grub detects a bad root drive number, how do I fix that ?
[21:26] <mDemocritus> littlepinkdot: is libapache-mod-php installed?
[21:26] <mDemocritus> littlepinkdot: or whatever the right name for it is....
[21:26] <cosmic_> how can i delete a file called like this : GdAQ@;???gf??eEDS???
[21:26] <waffe> crdlb: great! ill try that :) lol after 2 weeks of google and such, thats like the best answer ive had :)
[21:26] <mirak> I installed with a usb pen, and since I removed it it's not ok
[21:26] <m_newton> Starnestommy, you there
[21:26] <yofel> dirk_, yeah sorry, wrong one, try: 'sudo NetworkManager' in the termainal
[21:26] <danbhfive> cosmic_: try tab completion
[21:27] <littlepinkdot> thanks joaopinto, cli was what I needed (used to the RH way of things).
[21:27] <mDemocritus> amrik: it's the normal "no screens found". i could probably fix it, but i hate messing with xorg.conf when it's not my machine...
[21:27] <joaopinto> :)
[21:27] <newk> waffe: this jus gives me my nvidia driver...
[21:27] <cosmic_> that doesnt work danbhfive
[21:27] <mDemocritus> littlepinkdot: libapache2-mod-php5 should be it
[21:27] <joaopinto> cosmic_, ls -i (to list the inode numbers)
[21:27] <microwaver> how does one adapt the height of a maximized window.
[21:27] <waffe> newk: check the ubuntu wiki, there is an excellent guide for that. cant remember exactly where it is located though....
[21:27] <dirk_> yofel: did not work, I didn't even get a message
[21:28] <joaopinto> cosmic_, find . -inum number -exec rm {} \;
[21:28] <amrik> mDemocritus: also its not easy to remotely debug xserver problems. did you try the latest vanilla kernel? (2.6.25.4)
[21:28] <cosmic_> joaopinto:  and then ?
[21:28] <joaopinto> use it with caution
[21:28] <joaopinto> dont provide the wrong inode nr :P
[21:28] <Kootie> hi guys, is there anyway to capture the keycodes? cat /proc/kb or something to capture them? im trying to find the keycodes to remap a gaming keyboard
[21:28] <debian> How do I mount an iso?
[21:28] <cosmic_> joaopinto:  would you pls be so kind to give me a other example ?
[21:28] <yofel> dirk_, i think i found it... try 'nm-applet'
[21:28] <littlepinkdot> mDemocritus, php-cli was what i needed
[21:28] <mumhuh> joaopinto via the alternate cd text installer? does that offer a selection which packages id like to install or just the minimal install?
[21:29] <littlepinkdot> mDemocritus, no need for the apache module
[21:29] <newk> waffe: thanks ... sorry not all that clear :) i a linux newbie .. having very few problems ... compiz running and most aplications... thanks anyway
[21:29] <joaopinto> mumhuh, no, you can do that later, by using a package manager
[21:29] <joaopinto> or you know the packages name and install with apt-get, your you install synaptic
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[21:29] <joaopinto> and select from the list
[21:29] <dirk_> yofel: yep that's the one. Why did it get lost so easily? Anyway: thanks
[21:29] <waffe> newk: well try turning off compwiz and see what with tux :)
[21:29] <mDemocritus> littlepinkdot: ok try looking for /usr/local/bin/php
[21:30] <mDemocritus> or /usr/local/lib/php
[21:30] <newk> waffe: tried already haha ... mayb its jus not meant to be:L
[21:30] <joaopinto> cosmic_, ls -i lists the files prefixed with the inode number, the inode is the file location on the file system, is unique to each file
[21:30] <mumhuh> hm ok thanks... guess ill need to look into just how minimal the install is
[21:30] <joaopinto> cosmic_, then you use find with exec rm to find and remove the file with the specified inode number
[21:30] <cosmic_> joaopinto:  i know that , but whats with the find command
[21:30] <mDemocritus> amrik: indeed it isn't. the latest vanilla kernel supposedly fixes it, based on the comments on that bug, but again, since it's not my system, i'd prefer to keep it simple
[21:30] <joaopinto> cosmic_, ex: 12927108 XWii_2.2.1_source.tar.gz
[21:30] <cosmic_> ok ill try thanks allott
[21:31] <joaopinto> cosmic_, find . -inum 12927108 -exec rm {} \;
[21:31] <J-_> what is libglade-2.0 and libgnome-2.0 called in the Hardy distros? I'm trying to compile glipper 0.95.1 so I can use it in openbox in a panel.
[21:31] <cosmic_> exit
[21:31] <J-_> hardy repos*
[21:31] <joaopinto> J-_, apt-cache search libglade 2 dev
[21:31] <littlepinkdot> mDemocritus, lol thanks for the extra help but like I said, php-cli was what I needed. Im set.
[21:31] <m_newton> PORT scan??
[21:32] <DrFrasierCrane> where can I find Ubuntu's downstream patches for packages?
[21:32] <joaopinto> J-_, glipper is available from the repositories
[21:32] <Rocko> where is the project link for casper?
[21:32] <joaopinto> DrFrasierCrane, apt-get source package, it will get the source and ubuntu changes
[21:32] <mDemocritus> littlepinkdot: ah ok i misunderstood. glad to hear it :D
[21:32] <vixenfinder> noob Question: I'm running the latest version of ubuntu and trying to get the cube to work, However, when I rotate the cube It's shows as a Flat page I can rotate. Any Ideas on How to make it a cube?
[21:32] <DrFrasierCrane> joaopinto, I'm not using Ubuntu right now, I just want to get to the patches
[21:33] <joaopinto> vixenfinder, if you "rotate", it's not a plan object :)
[21:33] <J-_> joaopinto: How can I start it from command?
[21:33] <mDemocritus> vixenfinder: you have to add more desktops in the general section of the compiz config panel
[21:33] <prodigy> can i legaly use ubuntu in my corporation as operating system for my own applications and for my business running? adn is it free?
[21:33] <waffe> crdlb: well turning off compwiz gets google earth to "work", theres no flicker but the text is absolutely tiny. and now tux doesnt work anymore :) but if its a driver thing then thats that i suppose
[21:33] <vixenfinder> hmmm
[21:33] <joaopinto> DrFrasierCrane, packages.ubuntu.com, get the orig and diff.gz files
[21:33] <newk> is it possible to video call over ubuntu with msn?????
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> prodigy Yes
[21:33] <m_newton> how do i PORT scan??
[21:33] <joaopinto> J-_, glipper ?
[21:33] <Kootie> vixenfinder: make sure you have 4 desktops to make a cube
[21:33] <jougs> prodigy: of course
[21:33] <J-_> joaopinto: doesn't work.
[21:33] <prodigy> WOW
[21:33] <waffe> m_newton: nmap
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> m_newton I use grc.com  shields up
[21:34] <mDemocritus> newk: the only way i've seen it work is with kopete
[21:34] <joaopinto> J-_, I believe it's an applet, you need to add it from the applets menu
[21:34] <mDemocritus> newk: and you need to mess with it a bit i think
[21:34] <fyrestrtr> newk: the answer to your question is: No.
[21:34] <waffe> how do i check that i am running the latest ati drivers
[21:34] <vixenfinder> how do I add more deskyop planes
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> prodigy I would be happy to discuss it with you in pm..
[21:34] <newk> mdemocritus: kopete supports video call????
[21:34] <prodigy> i am thinking of opening a IT and IS comapny that will make applications for linux OS
[21:34] <DrFrasierCrane> joaopinto, thanks
[21:34] <prodigy> Jack_Sparrow: pm me
[21:34] <joaopinto> J-_, but I see people recomming parcelitte instead of glipper...
[21:34] <joaopinto> prodigy, good luck
[21:34] <mDemocritus> newk: at least for yahoo.... kindof
[21:34] <J-_> joaopinto: parellite?
[21:34] <prodigy> thank you
[21:34] <joaopinto> hire me :P
[21:34] <Shandel[[WHOA]]> irc.icq.com
[21:35] <joaopinto> J-_, parcelitte
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[21:35] <mDemocritus> newk: it works, but i've seen issues with it
[21:35] <J-_> !info parcelitte
[21:35] <joaopinto> erm, wait, forgot the name
[21:35] <navetz_> hey can someone help me with dualscreening with xrandr, I have a 22" widescreen "1680 * 1050" and my laptop which is "1200*800", is there a way to set them up to both work at the same time?
[21:35] <endafy> hey I am switching over to linux and all and am looking for an app that does the same thing photostory does
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !find parcelite
[21:35] <endafy> my friend is letting me use his computer
[21:35] <debian> How do I run this liveusb thing?
[21:35] <mDemocritus> endafy: photostory?
[21:36] <joaopinto> forget it, parcelitte is on getdeb
[21:36] <fyrestrtr> endafy: and photostory does ..... ???
[21:36] <joaopinto> not on the official repos yet
[21:36] <J-_> joaopinto: is it a applet, or program?
[21:36] <endafy> windows xp program that can make slideshows and do other cool stuff
[21:36] <ed-deb> Will cp make duplicates of files in the source when there is one of the same name in the target?
[21:36]  * J-_ downloads from getdeb.
[21:36] <vixenfinder> Does the WorkSpace Switcher Preferences produce more desktops because I've change it to 2 high and 4 Wide and Nothing's changed
[21:36] <joaopinto> J-_, http://www.getdeb.net/app/Parcellite, it does provide a binary to be launched
[21:36] <fyrestrtr> ed-deb: it will never duplicate in the *source*
[21:37] <mumhuh> oh btw does the alternate cd load the drivers necessary to install directly to a usb flash drive?
[21:37] <joaopinto> but it will just create an icon bind to the notification area, applet alike
[21:37] <J-_> damn it, it's only for 32bit :(
[21:37] <fyrestrtr> vixenfinder: you need to right click on the bottom right, and select the number of screens you see.
[21:37] <mirak> grub detects a bad root drive number, how do I fix that ?
[21:37] <mirak> I installed with a usb pen, and since I removed it it's not ok
[21:37] <J-_> I wonder if it works for 64bit
[21:37] <m_newton> How do i install a new font?????
[21:37] <vixenfinder> fyrestrtr: Did that and there's only 2 when I clicked Pref. and changed the values nothing happend.
[21:38] <joaopinto> mumhuh, installing a bootable usb flash drive is not a regular install, please search on the wiki, it requires some specific (custom) install process
[21:38] <fyrestrtr> vixenfinder: change columns to 4 and rows to 1
[21:38] <gummi_> my friend has a problem. when he tries to install ubuntu 8.04 he cannot find the hd. so he cannot mount it to install ubuntu on it
[21:38] <ed-deb> fyrestrtr; damned ambiguous language :P /me rephrases
[21:38] <joaopinto> J-_, it does, I have it installed
[21:38] <J-_> joaopinto: Nice. =)
[21:38] <fyrestrtr> gummi_: what kind of computer is he using?
[21:38] <vixenfinder> fyrestrtr: I did that and the areas are still the same
[21:39] <m_newton> gummi_ did the alternate install work
[21:39] <vixenfinder> only 2
[21:39] <m_newton> How do i install a new font?????
[21:39] <joaopinto> m_newton, search for "ttf" on the package manager
[21:39] <ed-deb> Will cp make duplicates of $(files in the SOURCE parameter) when there is a file of the same name in the target?
[21:39] <endafy> I need windows live messenger (others dont cut it like pidgen) I might be missing a better one, I need something like photostory, I need something like photoshop and he let me on his computer to ask
[21:40] <gummi_> endafy : aMSN
[21:40] <waffe> endafy: for photoshop replacement zou can use gimp
[21:40] <manoff> can i use emacs or some other editor to write documents using asian languages like thai or chinese. i dont have X
[21:40] <gummi_> fyrestrtr: he's using amd computer
[21:40] <manoff> if i can, how
[21:41] <vixenfinder> ﻿fyrestrtr: I tried to change to 4 colums and 1 row and nothing's changed for my desktops. Is there somthing I'm missing and/or supposed to have?
[21:41] <endafy> I do a lot of photography work and all
[21:41] <joaopinto> ed-deb, IIRC it does replace files with the same name
[21:42] <fyrestrtr> vixenfinder: don't know -- that's what I did.
[21:42] <J-_> joaopinto: Thanks for the recommendation. :D
[21:42] <vixenfinder> ﻿fyrestrtr: Ah well thnx
[21:42] <Bagualas> how do I configure a PS2 mouse? I was using and USB mouse before

[21:44] <waffe> fglrxinfo doesnt give me anything useful
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Brandenatwork HAve you been deleting things as root user?
[21:44] <Da91> whats a good C++ compiler?
[21:44] <endafy> and after looking at the Gimp i think Linux will be pretty easy to pick up for me
[21:45] <Brandenatwork> Jack_Sparrow: no sir, just as user
[21:45] <ed-deb> if I were to chmod ugo-rwx <dir>/* before copying files to it and repeat till no files got added each time, would I copy all files from the sources and replace none?
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> just checking
[21:45] <Da91> ﻿whats a good C++ compiler in ubuntu?

[21:46] <fyrestrtr> timebomb: check the wiki for alternate install methods (including USB stick)
[21:46] <Chousuke> PentarexBG: wine?
[21:46] <magnetron> PentarexBG: it's a setting in winecfg
[21:46] <Da91> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16970/
[21:47] <Brandenatwork> Jack_Sparrow: yeah I searched for the deleted files, and the search came up empty, so.... I am at a loss myself.  my home is a little over 90 gig, and only 54 gig is used, and nautilus and diskanalyzer says i only have about 15 gigs free.  Just doesnt add up.  Well off to check fdsk
[21:47] <PentarexBG> Chousuke: yes
[21:47] <Chousuke> PentarexBG: it means Wine will use real windows DLLs instead of wine's implementation
[21:47] <PentarexBG> magnetron: yes
[21:47] <magnetron> PentarexBG: you probably want to ask in #winehq for a better answer
[21:47] <AlexRADL> Sorry for the double post, but I need some help.  When going to terminal and type ipod-touch-mount I get the following error:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/16967/

[21:48] <mumhuh> joaopinto thanks but the wiki only seems to mention a full blown install from the livecd and how to get the lvecd to run from usb
[21:49] <manoff> excuse me but did anyone answer my question?
[21:49] <manoff> i was away
[21:49] <Da91> sudo apt-get install g++ http://paste.ubuntu.com/16970/
[21:49] <yofel> Da91, do you have aptitude, synaptic or something else open?
[21:49] <Da91> yes
[21:49] <Da91> XD
[21:49] <manoff> no?
[21:49] <manoff> how rude!
[21:49] <yofel> well...
[21:49] <Da91> add/remove, still has 39 min
[21:49] <ompaul> !attitude | manoff
[21:50] <yofel> then you'll have to wait...
[21:50] <m_newton> manoff, what was your question
[21:50] <Chousuke> Da91: you need to close the other apps installing stuff before you can use the command line tools
[21:50] <manoff> can i use emacs or some other editor to write documents using asian languages like thai or chinese. i dont have X
[21:50] <fyrestrtr> how do you check what version of a program will be installed? apt-policy or something....
[21:50] <Chousuke> manoff: hmmh.
[21:50] <m_newton> manoff, what was your question
[21:50] <manoff> m_newton: that
[21:50] <fyrestrtr> manoff: you can if your term supports the character set and your chosen editor has support for it.
[21:51] <Chousuke> manoff: I think it might be possible, but certainly not easy to pull off.
[21:51] <manoff> ompaul: ok excuse me
[21:51] <AlexRADL> I need some help...
[21:51] <erUSUL> fyrestrtr: apt-cache policy
[21:51] <jedimind_> here's a noobie question, how do i manage my 'bookmarks'
[21:51] <Chousuke> manoff: I don't know of any methods to input chinese in the terminal
[21:51] <manoff> fyrestrtr: and how can i find out my term caps?
[21:51] <manoff> Chousuke: okay
[21:52] <JonathanElli1> Hi. Can someone tell me how to add repositories on the command line?
[21:52] <cens0red> good moaning.
[21:52] <AlexRADL> I'm having some trouble mounting my iPod touch.  Can someone assist me?
[21:53] <m_newton> how do i get the SAY command to work??? Anyo ne know if there is a way to use TTS on ubuntu???
[21:53] <manoff> JonathanElli1: you need edit the repos list
[21:53] <Amiga68> JonathanEllil: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:53] <Bagualas> how devices are configured now? mouse, keyboard? NEED TO INSTALL A F#@ PS2 MOUSE :(
[21:53] <Da91> can i resume downloading my program if i close it and install g++?
[21:53] <JonathanElli1> Isnt there a command to add a line directly?
[21:53] <Amiga68> JonathanEllii: ofcourse if you have a nano editor
[21:53] <Chousuke> Da91: you should be able to
[21:54] <Chousuke> Da91: however, do *not* close it if it's already installing something
[21:54] <Da91> so if i cancle it i wont lose all the stuff ive been installing
[21:54] <Da91> well downloading**
[21:54] <yofel> Da91, no you won't
[21:54] <Chousuke> Da91: interrupting downloads is fine, but if it has already installed something, then don't touch it.
[21:54] <Da91> >.< ill install it fist and get open arena later
[21:54] <Chousuke> yofel: aptitude can resume downloads at least.
[21:55] <AlexRADL> I'm having some trouble mounting my iPod touch.  Can someone assist me?
[21:55] <yofel> Chousuke, as I know synaptic can as well
[21:55] <Amiga68> JonathanEllil: sudo echo "string_to_add" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
[21:56] <Chousuke> Amiga68: that won't actually work.
[21:56] <joaopinto> synaptice does not resume current the current download, but previous downloaded files are stored on the apt cache
[21:56] <Chousuke> (redirection doesn't work with sudo)
[21:56] <AlexRADL> Anyone? :-/
[21:56] <Chousuke> you need to do sudo sh -c"echo 'whatever' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
[21:56] <lberg> are the update mirrors running slow right now?
[21:57] <Guiri> HI everyone. How can I lock a user into his home directory??

[21:57] <Guiri> !jail
[21:57] <Guiri> !chroot
[21:57] <joaopinto> Guiri, you would need to use schroot, but that is very complex to setup
[21:57] <Amiga68> Chousuke: ofcourse :-) sudo su ,and then...
[21:58] <Guiri> !schroot
[21:58] <Chousuke> Amiga68: sudo -s :)
[21:58] <joaopinto> ops, i mean chroot
[21:58] <m_newton> Noooooo
[21:58] <rich_freecomm> !'common sense'
[21:58] <joaopinto> debootstrapchroot is another matter

[21:59] <Amiga68> Chousuke: right, but "sudo su" working for me too :-)
[21:59] <alexander> is there a kxgenerator for ubuntu?
[21:59] <Chousuke> why is ipod-touch-mount trying to connect somewhere using ssh?
[21:59] <alexander> and not just kubuntu
[21:59] <AlexRADL> Joaopinto: Was that directed towards me?
[22:00] <joaopinto> AlexCONRAD, was you posting the untrusted ssh host, right ?
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Amiga68 sudo su isnt the best way to do that
[22:00] <set_> bonsoir a tous ... existe t il un forum francais ubuntu ?? desolé .. mon anglais est pathetique
[22:00] <AlexRADL> I'm AlexRADL, but yeah.

[22:00] <AlexRADL> It was me
[22:01] <methecooldude> mon anglais est pathetique - I'm guessing that's "My english is pathetic".
[22:01] <joaopinto> lol
[22:01] <AlexRADL> Joaopinto: I don't have an .ssh folder in /home/alex :/
[22:02] <deeperror> AlexRADL, are you typing ls -Al
[22:02] <Amiga68> Jack_Sparrow: mayby  not, but is still working ;-)
[22:02] <unavailable> ok so how do i enable my hi def audio out multi port?
[22:02] <Chousuke> I'm more concerned about ipod-touch-mount using ssh at all
[22:02] <lberg> hey guys, for reasons to hard to explain, I installed WinXP OVER my previous ubuntu installation. Before that, my wireless dongle with the rt73 chipset was working fine. However, after that, I've been getting slow speeds of 30kb/s, where it used to be 300 kb/s, and my connection bitrate is only 5mb/s, where it used to be 54. DOes anyone have any ideas for me? My internet is now terribly slow. I've tried both the 64bit and 32bit vers
[22:02] <Chousuke> why does it use ssh?
[22:02] <dobblego> !flash
[22:02] <Freddy2> hi
[22:02] <AlexRADL> Deeperror: I was told to type this:  ﻿rm /home/alex/.ssh/known_hosts
[22:02] <joaopinto> AlexCONRAD, your pastebin states otherwise, use CTRL-H to show hidden dirs, .ssh is an hidden dir
[22:02] <Hooplah> I need help getting wireless working. Ever since I upgraded to hardy heron, internet doesn't work.
[22:02] <Da91> ok, i have G++ and my buddy said to get C++ with OpenGL, Where do i get opengl?
[22:02] <AlexRADL> I just followed the directions on the ubuntu site, chousuke
[22:03] <unavailable> in windows i can switch around my in out on soundcard..  so far im only limited to regular out with ubuntu
[22:03] <Hooplah> And when I go to the hardware driver manager, it says the driver is in use
[22:03] <Freddy2> can i install 32-bit dev packages in a 64 bit system? (hardy)
[22:03] <VB-DotNet> hi my friends
[22:03] <joaopinto> Da91, apt-cache search opengl dev
[22:03] <Hooplah> but i cant uninstall it either
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> I have a live CD of hardy heron ubuntu
[22:03] <Hooplah> any help?
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> when I try it
[22:03] <AlexRADL> Joaopinto: Oh, ok.
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> Its pretty slow
[22:03] <deeperror> lberg, update drivers?
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> but I cant get wireless to work
[22:03] <mDemocritus> lberg: try reinstalling the drivers... ubuntu won't break your wireless card
[22:03] <joaopinto> Freddy2, no, you can only install the 32 libs
[22:03] <iRelinquish> whats the easiest way to get RC1 of firefox?
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> it says there are drivers to install
[22:03] <lain> test
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> but while installing the driver
[22:03] <Freddy2> joaopinto: ok, thx
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> I get an error
[22:03] <NewfieLinux> and then it finishes the driver download
[22:04] <lberg> deeperror and mDemocritus: Right now, my Fresh 64-bit install is halfway into an update.
[22:04] <AaronMT> q
[22:04] <Da91> thanks man, also where is the g++ compiler located, it not under programming in the applications part of the tool bar
[22:04] <joaopinto> Freddy2, well, if you need to develop 32 bits apps/packages, you can use a 32bits chroot
[22:04] <NewfieLinux> but then it says system update
[22:04] <NewfieLinux> but doesnt progress
[22:04] <joaopinto> Da91, sudo apt-get install build-essentialk
[22:04] <lberg> ATM 30 minutes remaining.
[22:04] <joaopinto> Da91, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[22:04] <mDemocritus> lberg: also check for interference... 2.4ghz cordless phones are the normal culprit
[22:04] <microwaver> qfsljl
[22:04] <joaopinto> g++ is a command line app, its a compiler, not an IDE
[22:04] <alexander> what GUI tool is the best one for editing graphic card, resoution, etc?
[22:04] <unavailable> anyone?  looking for ac97 hidef realtek drivers for linux that support changing around my in/out on embedded soundcard
[22:04] <Hooplah> Okay, let me put this all together: Ever since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, wireless has stopped working. I'm using the broadcom B43 driver. When I go to hardware driver manager, it says the driver is in use, AND it doesnt uninstall at all. So I cant re-install.
[22:04] <deeperror> mDemocritus, and wii motes haha
[22:05] <joaopinto> alexander, System -> Preferences -> *

[22:05] <mirak> how do I set ubuntu to use it in hdmi with my TV ?
[22:05] <lberg> mDemocritus: Well, I do have a wireless phone, but it was there before I installed WinXP, and it wasn't a problem then...
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> joaopinto sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`    works too

[22:05] <rich_freecomm> VB-DotNet: Orca
[22:06] <mDemocritus> lberg: i do wireless T/S for a living man... listen to me when i tell you that interference doesn't make sense sometimes
[22:06] <Hooplah> Anyone? ...
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> joaopinto I almost always recommend both.. when someone ask fro build essential
[22:06] <alexander> joaopinto: system preferenses only get me to change resolution. i want to be able to edit driver etc too...
[22:06] <lberg> mDemocritus: OK.... I'll go unplug it and see if that helps.
[22:06] <mDemocritus> lberg: i'm just saying... try interference t/s if all else fails... change channel and ssid, etx
[22:06] <kkathman> VB-DotNet,  you can also try lsr
[22:06] <mDemocritus> etc*
[22:06] <joaopinto> Jack_Sparrow, not to compile an opengl app ;)
[22:07] <deeperror> lberg, also when moving back to windows the first time the dongle was probably installed correctly, this time windows probably just gave it a generic driver and it works but not fully
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> joaopinto Fair enough\

[22:07] <mDemocritus> deeperror, lberg: i doubt it... XP didn't have many built-in wireless drivers
[22:08] <Da91> Is there a Visual C++ Compiler for Ubuntu?
[22:08] <lberg> deeperror: idk of I explained my situation good enough...I had ubuntu, installed WinXP, and now I'm back to Ubuntu. After the REinstall of Ubuntu, my internet is slow.
[22:08] <kkathman> VB-DotNet, you can also use screader which is a screen reader using software or hardware speech synthesizer
[22:08] <joaopinto> Da91, erm, no, if you are looking for an IDE, try codeblocks
[22:08] <mDemocritus> lberg: are you using a USB card?
[22:08] <unavailable> well then...  has anyone had any luck configuring the onboard sound card to have multi out ??
[22:08] <lberg> mDemocritus: yes. ASUS wl-167g. rt73 chipset.
[22:09] <mDemocritus> lberg: make sure you're using the back usb ports on the system
[22:09] <unavailable> windows supports it and i am wondering if ubuntu/linux does too
[22:09] <lberg> mDemocritus: yes, I am.
[22:10] <AlexRADL> Ok, I have one more problem.  I get the following error when mounting my iPod touch:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/16975/
[22:10] <m_newton> SSH help!! plz, Anyone know how to use a diffrent port besides 22?
[22:10] <AlexRADL> I'm not sure what "nonempty" is
[22:10] <jbroome> ssh host.com -p portnumber m_newton
[22:10] <jbroome> m_newton: also cleverly hidden in man ssh
[22:10] <Steve^> hey guys, is there anything to provide support for DVD menus?
[22:10] <mDemocritus> lberg: are you using encryption? and what router do you have
[22:10] <skoruppa> Hi
[22:11] <AlexCONRAD> hi, which package provides pushd ?
[22:11] <Steve^> I have totem, but it only plays one DVD chapter, which happens to be the one with director's commentary - I never get the main menu
[22:11] <joaopinto> AlexCONRAD, pushd is a bash builtin command
[22:11] <Amiga68> Steve^: try VLC
[22:11] <m_newton> jbroome, port 60000: Connection refused
[22:11] <lberg> mDemocritus: yeah, WEP w/ a 10-digit hex, and the router is a 2WIRE one that came with the SBC DSL. I have tried restarting the router already, which didn't help.
[22:11] <deeperror> m_newton, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
[22:11] <AlexCONRAD> joaopinto: ah ...
[22:11] <AlexCONRAD> ok
[22:12] <m_newton> jbroome, I port forwarded correctly, cuz it works on port 22
[22:12] <mDemocritus> m_newton: do you mean how to use a different port for the server, or how to connect with a client to a server on a different port?
[22:12] <Steve^> thanks, I'll try that Amiga68
[22:12] <skoruppa> someone know why ppa can't compile my package -_-" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15021109/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-lpia.moorie_0.1.6~wip1-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz - ok, no install-sh but i sources i can find this file... :/
[22:12] <deeperror> m_newton, the server is probably only running on 1 port
[22:12] <m_newton> jbroome, how to use a different port for the server
[22:12] <Amiga68> Steve^: it's in repository : just sudo apt-get vlc
[22:12] <deeperror> m_newton, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
[22:12] <Alexradl> I am getting another error when mounting my iPod touch.  It says something about nonempty mount.  Here is the pastebin:  ﻿http://paste.ubuntu.com/16975/
[22:12] <Steve^> Amiga68, vlc-nox ;)
[22:13] <mDemocritus> m_newton: follow deeperror's suggestion, then change your port forward to use the same port
[22:13] <BCM43> Jack_Sparrow: you there?
[22:13] <Steve^> Amiga68, or at least, that's what it recommended.. maybe I want normal vlc?
[22:13] <Steve^> (I just typed "vlc" and it said vlc-nox)
[22:13] <BCM43> !info vlc
[22:13] <Xana> nick RabidWeezle
[22:14] <Amiga68> Steve^: just vlc
[22:14] <Amiga68> Steve^: :-)
[22:14] <addeboy> Hello. Does anyone have idea why, after I installed a manually compiled version of vlc, I can't use the version available from repositories? I tried to uninstall the version I have compiled with "make uninstall" from source folder, and then I reinstalled the version from repositories, but instead of vlc 0.8.6c which is in repo I get the same version compiled by me...
[22:14] <RabidWeezle> How do I set a program to load as soon as gnome starts?
[22:15] <joaopinto> addeboy, are you sure vlc provides a "make uninstall" rule ? Have you checked "which vlc" ?
[22:15] <m_newton> is this fine # What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for Port 22 Port 60000
[22:15] <BCM43> RabidWeezle: session manager
[22:15] <cb951303> does anyone knows how to alter the content of an ISO file?
[22:15] <VB-DotNet> kkathman': : please Send to me a private Irc Message
[22:15] <deeperror> m_newton, also after making those changes may need to restart sshd  /etc/init.d/sshd reload maybe?
[22:15] <m_newton> mDemocritus, # What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for Port 22 Port 60000
[22:15] <RabidWeezle> The session manager in GDM?
[22:15] <BCM43> RabidWeezle: yes
[22:15] <RabidWeezle> ahh, ty
[22:16] <mDemocritus> m_newton: can you rephrase that?
[22:16] <lberg> BCM43: wait, isn't the session stuff RabidWeezle wants under "System-Preferences-Session?"
[22:16] <joaopinto> You can use ISO master
[22:16] <Alexradl> I need some help.  I'm getting an error saying about the mountpoint not being empty.  Here is the pastebin:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/16975/
[22:16] <addeboy> joaopinto, I read on vlc wiki that this is the way to get rid of a version you compiled earlier, and it seems the script remove all the files installed previously. Buty what I don't get it is why I can't install again the version from repo... (i have ubuntu 7.10)
[22:16] <m_newton> deeperror, restart sshd  /etc/init.d/sshd reload?
[22:17] <joaopinto> addeboy, you can, you are doing some mistake, first check from which path is vlc being ran, which vlc
[22:17] <deeperror> m_newton, after making changes to sshd_conf you will need to restart sshd possibly by typing   `/etc/init.d/sshd reload`
[22:17] <mDemocritus> m_newton: that would be sudo /etc/init.d/sshd reload
[22:17] <ledmushroom>  I am looking for a easy web page maker
[22:17] <deeperror> sudo whoops
[22:17] <joaopinto> ledmushroom, bluefish, quanta, etc :P
[22:17] <mDemocritus> deeperror: heh used to other distros huh?
[22:17] <deeperror> centos all day
[22:17] <GleepGlop> ledmushroom: wysiwyg?
[22:18] <methecooldude> deeperror: Correction, it's sudo /etc/init.d/ssh reload (for some reason theres no d... or there wasn't for me).
[22:18] <deeperror> ubuntu on my laptop
[22:18] <mDemocritus> deeperror: ah... i just installed debian in vmware and had to break the sudo habit :D
[22:18] <deeperror> yea i'm the other way around
[22:18] <mDemocritus> m_newton: methecooldude is right
[22:18] <RabidWeezle> Alright, let's try this again, How can I get an application, like gkrellm to load as soon as I login to the computer and load gnome
[22:19] <Shubbar> running Azureus slows my system
[22:19] <Alexradl> I apologize for repeatedly asking this, but I'm having trouble mounting my iPod touch.  I get an error saying the mountpoint is not empty.  Here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16975/
[22:19] <GleepGlop> Shubbar: yeah Java based apps tend to do just that
[22:19] <fyrestrtr> RabidWeezle: System > Preferences > Session > Add
[22:19] <mDemocritus> RabidWeezle: it's in the sessions configuration.... somewhere in system prefs i thinkl
[22:19] <methecooldude> RabidWeezle: Good question and one that I would love to know myself.
[22:19] <lberg> RabidWeezle: Under Gnome, go to System-Preferences-Session.
[22:19] <RabidWeezle> thanks
[22:19] <lberg> then, you'll have to type in the command that you want after clicking "add".
[22:19] <methecooldude> Wow, a lotta stuff starts on start up.
[22:20] <fyrestrtr> Alexradl: what is the directory you are trying to mount TO
[22:20] <Shiba> is there a way to enable the Universe repo on Ubuntu 6.10 server?
[22:20] <RabidWeezle> there we are, thanks
[22:20] <deeperror> headed home
[22:20] <RabidWeezle> that was pretty painless
[22:20] <neofax> user01: Did you fix compiz on your system?
[22:20] <Shubbar> GleepGlop: any way to reduce that? Or should i switch to another bittorrent client?
 thanks!
[22:20] <Shiba> I tried uncommenting it from sources.list but the software I need doesn't become available
[22:20] <mDemocritus> m_newton: good job it works
[22:20] <lberg> mDemocritus: I just unplugged my wireless phone, which BTW is only 900 mhz, and it didn't seem to help.
[22:20] <Alexradl> Fyrestrt: In the tutorial it told me to mount to /media/ipod.  Is that not right?
[22:20] <Alexradl> In the tut on ubuntu
[22:20] <mDemocritus> lberg: eh the only ones that matter are 2.4
[22:21] <methecooldude> Shiba: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe repos
[22:21] <GleepGlop> Shubbar: I personally use bitcollider, but you may not
[22:21] <m_newton> deeperror, mDemocritus Thanks a lot you guys!! :) cheers!
[22:21] <fyrestrtr> Shiba: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:21] <GleepGlop> Shubbar: I personally use bitcollider, but you may not like it
[22:21] <Shiba> methecooldude: I did...
[22:21] <lberg> ok....
[22:21] <neofax> Anyone using HD-DVD in ubuntu?
[22:21] <mDemocritus> lberg: i dunno if you answered this... do you run encryption
[22:21] <miky__> hello
[22:21] <lberg> mDemocritus: yeah. WEP.
[22:21] <mDemocritus> m_newton: np
[22:21] <methecooldude> Shiba: Then sudo apt-get update
[22:21] <mDemocritus> lberg: change the wep key...
[22:21] <m_newton> mDemocritus, just one more question, can i run this on port 443?
[22:21] <joaopinto> fyrestrtr, for 6.10 you will need to use old.releases.ubuntu.com on the server name
[22:21] <Shiba> methecooldude: ah, lemme try taht
[22:21] <addeboy> joaopinto, after I removed the version compiled by me and that one installed from repo, when I run vlc in terminal it says bash: /usr/bin/vlc: No such file or directory, so I assume it's completely removed. But when I add the version from repo again, it synaptic is installing the version compiled by me.. not the one that it should install (0.8.6.c)
[22:21] <miky__> anyone can give me some help about hibernation ?
[22:22] <methecooldude> Shiba: Apt needs to get the new packages from the newly opened repos, update allows it to do that.
[22:22] <lberg> mDemocritus: OK. I'll try that, but only after Ubuntu finishes the system upgrade. I'd like to see if an upgrade might update the firmware/driver for my card....
[22:22] <mDemocritus> m_newton: yes, but i wouldn't... you want to use 22, or a port higher than 1024
[22:22] <joaopinto> addeboy, synaptic does not install packages out of the repositories, unless you have created a repository yourself
[22:22] <mDemocritus> lberg: probably...
[22:22] <Alexradl> ﻿yrestrt: In the tutorial on ubuntu.com it told me to mount to /media/ipod.  Is that not right?
[22:22] <Alexradl> Fyrestrt*
[22:22] <Shiba> methecooldude: no go: http://rafb.net/p/psByVc41.html
[22:22] <joaopinto> so, it can't be installing the version you have compiled
[22:22] <mDemocritus> m_newton: the ports from 0-1024 are reservered
[22:22] <m_newton> mDemocritus, that is the only port open in my school :(
[22:22] <Shiba> methecooldude: after apt-get update it did download the new indices
[22:23] <miky__> anyone can give me some help about system suspend ?
[22:23] <Shiba> methecooldude: but the package that should be there isn't available
[22:23] <m_newton> mDemocritus, only SSL sadly
[22:23] <mDemocritus> m_newton: what are you trying to do?
[22:23] <Shiba> libpam_ldap libmss_ldap
[22:23] <UBUNTUJAY123> hi
[22:23] <GleepGlop> Shubbar: sorry, not bitcollider, BITTORNADO
[22:23] <m_newton> mDemocritus, IRC from school :) on last day (tommarow)
[22:23] <joaopinto> Shiba, you must replace archive.ubuntu.com with old.releases.ubuntu.com
[22:23] <UBUNTUJAY123> i went back to 7.10
[22:23] <UBUNTUJAY123> :)
[22:23] <m_newton> mDemocritus, just hope they dont blok it
[22:24] <addeboy> joaopinto, yes, I think that too.. Also I deleted synaptic cache and it downloaded the packages again, but still same issue. And I don't think I created a repository without knowing that..
[22:24] <Shiba> joaopinto: oh is that whats going on?  lemme try that
[22:24] <mDemocritus> m_newton: they probably won't block outbound port 80....
[22:24] <methecooldude> Shiba: That's becasue it's libpam-ldap not _ldap
[22:24] <clever> !enter
[22:24] <clever> !Upgrade
[22:24] <clever> .
[22:24] <Shubbar> GleepGlop: thanks, I will try that and see. Does it have a scheduler?
[22:25] <joaopinto> Ademan, first, if you have installed the package correctly, there must be an /usr/bin/vlc, that is the default install path
[22:25] <joaopinto> if there is no /usr/bin/vlc, the package was not installed
[22:25] <lberg> mDemocritus, deeperror: thanks for the help guys, I'm going to step away from my computer for a while....hopefully this upgrade will fix something....
[22:25] <mDemocritus> lberg: best of luck
[22:25] <UBUNTUJAY123> 8.04 is way messed up
[22:25] <joaopinto> Shiba, ops, i am a bit lost, maybe you are the wrong target for my msg, are you the 6.10 repositories guy :P ?
[22:25] <m_newton> mDemocritus, ya, but wont a lot of traffic go through that?? so slower connection
[22:25] <UBUNTUJAY123> iam going to wait until the next one comes put to upgrade agin
[22:26] <Ademan> joaopinto: i assume that wasn't acutally for me
[22:26] <Shubbar> either new and messed up, or old and stable
[22:26] <Shiba> yeah, I need 6.10 repos : apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap autofs-ldap ldap-utils nscd
[22:26] <mDemocritus> m_newton: nah... port numbers have nothing to do with IP flow controil
[22:26] <Shiba> that fails
[22:26] <m_newton> UBUNTUJAY123, YO next one ibex
[22:26] <joaopinto> Shiba, did you apt-get update after doing the change ?
[22:26] <Shiba> yes
[22:27] <addeboy> joaopinto, after I install the version from repo, I have again an executable at /usr/bin/vlc, alos one at /usr/bin/wxvlc and svlc, but they are the wrong version.
[22:27] <m_newton> mDemocritus, oh, ok than port 80 it is, wait... i am running my own webserevr. will it interfear with that?
[22:27] <mDemocritus> m_newton: they probably just have the computers proxied, and only let http and https (80 and 443) out
[22:27] <mDemocritus> m_newton: ... yes
[22:27] <joaopinto> addeboy, dpkg -S /usr/bin/vlc
[22:27] <m_newton> mDemocritus, yes...? It will interfear with my webserver?
[22:28] <m_newton> mDemocritus, Should i host on another port
[22:28] <mDemocritus> m_newton: yes... you can normally only run one service on a port
[22:28] <methecooldude> I just a question... my college blockes anything running on ports 0-1024, anything above that can run, is it a safe bet to say they are running a linux server somewhere in the network?
[22:28] <mDemocritus> methecooldude: not necessarily
[22:28] <mDemocritus> methecooldude:  what makes you think that?
[22:28] <addeboy> joaopinto, I get vlc-nox: /usr/bin/vlc
[22:28] <musikgoat> methecooldude: its a safe bet that a linux server is somewhere in your schools network
[22:29] <joaopinto> methecooldude, no, there are plenty of "windows" reasons to block those also
[22:29] <m_newton> methecooldude you can find out, go to their site and enter some random text after url bar, it will say page not found and the os
[22:29] <marko__> what's the command to reconfigure the x server in the terminal ?
[22:29] <mDemocritus> hah shut up musikgoat :D.... methecooldude, he's right of course, but only because of probability
[22:29] <musikgoat> :-)
[22:29] <m_newton> methecooldude, or you can do a good old whois search
[22:29] <Xpistos> Can Anyone help me with gPodder. Whenever I try and open it I get the window flash and then disappear. It will also open and then if I click on anything the app goes dark and then closes. I am using hardy and this has just started happening yesterday. Can anyone help me with this?
[22:29] <joaopinto> addeboy, dpkg -l vlc | grep ^ii
[22:29] <ledmushroom> ok here is something, How would I remove something from t6he wine programs list after i uninstall it from wine ? (its still there in the menu listing I would like to get rid of it?
 do u use VLC??
[22:30] <methecooldude> m_newton: how can I tell that the webserver is not Windows but there might be another around, like for backup ect.
[22:30] <joaopinto> Xpistos, are you using the version from hardy's repository ?
[22:30] <Y-Town> I am getting ready to reload 8.04 on a new drive in my wifes laptop.  New drive is 200 gig.  Any opinions on partitions or just leave it alone?
[22:30] <mDemocritus> m_newton: nope... amarok and kaffeine
  no idea.. sry
[22:30] <addeboy> joaopinto, now I get ii  vlc            0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5 multimedia player and streamer
[22:30] <mDemocritus> m_newton: kubuntu FTW :D
[22:30] <Steve^> VLC can't stream my DVD properly - is there anyway to copy it off the disk to my HDD?
[22:31]  * methecooldude notes that Konqueror is not very helpful.
[22:31] <mDemocritus> methecooldude: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[22:31] <methecooldude> mDemocritus: Nothing, I'm just wondering that's all.
[22:31] <manoff> N/quit
[22:31] <joaopinto> addeboy, you have a vlc binary provided  by an ubuntu package, that package version is the correct version for your release, everything looks fine
[22:31] <Shiba> joaopinto: I changed the sources.list to look like this: http://rafb.net/p/DSlD7o28.html then ran apt-get update
[22:32] <Shiba> joaopinto: still unable to install libpam-ldap
 oh, cool thing on VLC, my school has macs and have blocked out most sites, youtube included, so i got VLC, you dont have to install it yu see, and you can recieve free radio brodcasts there, sure you dont have a choice to what you are listening but hay
[22:32] <joaopinto> Shiba, what error do you get ?
[22:33] <Y-Town> I am getting ready to reload 8.04 on a new drive in my wifes laptop.  New drive is 200 gig.  Any opinions on partitions or just leave it alone?
[22:33] <m_newton> mDemocritus, proxys are blocked
[22:33] <addeboy> joaopinto, that's why I am in trouble, because synaptic and the commands you told e to run shows that the correct version is installed, but when I run it, I get another version instead
[22:33] <idigthought> is there a way to uninstall a package without removing the packages that depend on it?

[22:33] <Shiba> joaopinto: commandline is this: apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap autofs-ldap ldap-utils nscd
[22:33] <joaopinto> erm, Shiba you dont have universe enabled, you only have universe -updates
[22:33] <UBUNTUJAY123> m_newton use an online website proxy
[22:33] <mDemocritus> m_newton: aha... if you're doing all that ssh nonsense just for irc... just use mibbit.com
[22:33] <Shiba> E: Couldn't find package libpam-ldap
[22:33] <joaopinto> edgy-updates is not edgy..
[22:33] <methecooldude> m_newton: http://delta.cluenet.org/proxy
[22:33] <methecooldude> UK based proxy run on my own server.
[22:34] <Hooplah> I need help. I'm trying to manually install the broadcom driver for my wireless using an online guide, but the last step isnt working, at all.
[22:34] <revilodraw> ﻿when i hover my mouse over an mp3 file it plays in exaile, and i want to turn this off.
[22:34] <mDemocritus> m_newton: as a rule, don't use a proxy to do anything remotely private... fyi
[22:34] <ubuntu> sera. ce un komando x scaricare temi x ubuntu?
[22:34] <Shiba> joaopinto: added 'universe' to the end of the first two lines, apt-get update, still no joy
[22:34] <Hooplah> The command: ~/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod$ sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR” wl_apsta.o
[22:34] <joaopinto> addeboy, which vlc, show me the output
[22:34] <SaintPaulTom> I just created a new ext3 partition, but I can't seem to mount in with write access. How do I accomplish this? (Relevant line from /etc/fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16984/)
[22:34] <consquigulator1> Apparently, I've got a bad superblock on a raid 1 array, it's reiserfs.  I'm afraid to use reiserfsck --rebuild-sb on it, /var/log/syslog shows /dev/md0 (the array) stopped.  Any idea if I'll destroy the array by running it?
[22:35] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: are you logged in as root?
[22:35] <Hooplah> The command: ~/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod$ sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR” wl_apsta.o  gives the output of: This file is recognised as:

[22:35] <Shiba> consquigulator1: if you're using MD RAID in RAID1 the disks should be bitwise identical
[22:35] <Shiba> consquigulator1: you can run reiserfsck on one of the underlying block devices
[22:35] <Xpistos> joaopinto: I used the one in add/remove programs so yes?
[22:36] <m_newton> UBUNTUJAY123, They use some stupid filter that blocks it all. BAsturds i say, stoping freedom of expression! :( Even for kids like me that get A's man! They even went as far as blocking my website :(! Sayig i had 'uncontroled fourme posts" !!! I dont have a fourm. it is their stupid service thy have just bought that automaticalyy does it. I have a shout out box! no fourms.... da*n basturds
[22:36] <SaintPaulTom> mDemocritus: no, as a normal user
[22:36] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: but since you created the filesystem as root with sudo, your user doesn't have permission to it
[22:36] <joaopinto> Xpistos, I am using a newer version from getdeb, without any problems, you should try it, if it still crashes, then you should report to the author, because it maybe a bug that is triggered by a feed that you have subscribed
[22:36] <greg_> where is the rest of xorg.conf?
[22:37] <Shiba> joaopinto: are you sure I need to use old.releases as opposed to us.archive?
[22:37] <Xpistos> joaopinto: It was working fine up until yesterday. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but getting same. Maybe it is a config file, but I can find it
[22:37] <UBUNTUJAY123> m_ i dont know what u can do man
[22:37] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: there's a mount option... i think it's 'user', or you can mount it, then chown youruser:youruser /path/to/mountpoint
[22:37] <at0m> Does anyone know how to get the desklet for weather to work again?
[22:37] <at0m> for some reason it wont work
[22:38] <consquigulator1> Shiba: If I run sudo mdadm --examine on both block devices, it says they're okay.  Should I run reiserfsck --rebuild-sb on one of the block devices and try to remount?
[22:38] <biozit> hi all
[22:38] <Shiba> joaopinto: this is ubuntu server, not desktop; would that make a difference?
[22:38] <joaopinto> Shubbar, as far as I know very old releases are no longer available on archive, just on old.releases, but now that you have your list fixed you could try to switch
[22:38] <mDemocritus> at0m: did you set it up? right click, properties
[22:38] <m_newton> http://www.lightspeedsystems.com/Default.aspx
[22:38] <joaopinto> Shiba, no it does not, they all share the same repositories
[22:38] <at0m> Ya i did, but it wont pull the information off the internet
[22:38] <Shiba> consquigulator1: the idea here is that if you run reiserfsck on one of hte underlying devices and it fubars the filesystem, you have another for backup
[22:38]  * methecooldude loves compiz!
[22:38] <addeboy> joaopinto, the version is VLC media player 0.9.0-git Grishenko, from the last nightly build
[22:38] <mDemocritus> !spam | m_newton
[22:38] <joaopinto> and btw, edgy is 6.10, not 6.04 (If I can remember :P)
[22:39] <biozit> i trying to configure a automount to mount my windows share, i follow this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs, but i need the use the IP ou name o the windows machine ?
[22:39] <Hooplah> I can't get the broadcom driver fully manually installed. Here is the problem: http://pastebin.com/m31b2777c
[22:39] <Lr5> Anyone knows where totem stores its settings file? It seems that it tries to use pulseaudio which seems to be  bugged for me
[22:39] <Shiba> joaopinto: aye, I have 6.10 installed and want its repos
[22:39] <consquigulator1> Shiba: okay, I'll try it.
[22:39] <joaopinto> addeboy, does "which vlc" outputs the /usr/bin path ?
[22:39] <m_newton> sorry mDemocritus
[22:39] <joaopinto> Shiba, try the archive now :P
[22:40] <m_newton> mDemocritus, thanks for your help though!
[22:40] <SaintPaulTom> mDemocritus: I've used the mount option of 'user' to no avail, and the chown command gives me the following message: chown: changing ownership of `/media/hdf2': Operation not permitted
[22:40] <methecooldude> Is there any way to allow my audio to work in 2 different programs at 1 time?
[22:40] <Shiba> joaopinto: still not installing with the same error
[22:40] <wuxia> what's the ubuntu way to install mediawiki? (apt-get install mediawiki) doesn't have it up at http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php
[22:40] <mDemocritus> m_newton: np... try to keep on-topic
[22:40] <addeboy> joaopinto, yes, it points to /usr/local/bin/vlc where I installed the version compiled by me
[22:40] <neofax> Anyone using HD_DVD in ubuntu?
[22:40] <joaopinto> Shiba, do you get any error during the update ?
[22:40] <neofax> join #ubuntu-kernel
[22:40] <joaopinto> addeboy, so there is your problem, make uninstall did not uninstall the custom install
[22:41] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: make sure you use sudo on that chown command
[22:41] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: sorry i should have mentioned that
[22:41] <joaopinto> vlc from the repositories was properly installed, however usr/local takes priority on your PATH var, and you are just calling the local install version
[22:41] <consquigulator1> y
[22:41] <consquigulator1> Oops, sorry.
[22:41] <joaopinto> addeboy, rm /usr/local/bin/vlc should be sufficient
[22:42] <methecooldude> Is there any way to allow my audio to work in 2 different programs at 1 time?
[22:42] <joaopinto> unless vlc provides other binaries, which you should also rm from local bin
[22:42] <Shiba> joaopinto: I'm not sure how I missed that before, it was right in front of my eyes and I just didn't see it.. I'm getting a bunch of 404s
[22:42] <joaopinto> Shiba, erm
[22:42] <SaintPaulTom> mDemocritus: I should have known that. That did the trick. Thank you.
[22:43] <joaopinto> Shiba, just make sure you dont have a syntax error on your sources.list, check some sources.list sample :P
[22:43] <mDemocritus> musikgoat: have any luck with debian on that linkstation?
[22:43] <joaopinto> and eventually try another mirror
[22:43] <atlanta80> I would like to delete my whole configuration of avant-window-navigator but gconf-editor won't let me remove the keys, how can I do this?
[22:43] <musikgoat> mdemocritus yes, but offtopic
[22:43] <fyrestrtr> atlanta80: what do you mean "it won't let you"?
[22:43] <Xpistos> joaopinto: You are the man. That did it
[22:43] <mDemocritus> SaintPaulTom: np... i don't think that's the preferred way, but it works
[22:44] <Shiba> joaopinto: hmmm
[22:44] <joaopinto> Xpistos, np :)
[22:44] <impulze> hi there i'm trying to help a friend with the alternate cd
[22:44] <addeboy> joaopinto, did that, and now when I run "which vlc" I get /usr/bin/vlc, but when I try to run, it says VLC media player 0.8.6g Janus and then it throws some errors. Version 0.8.6g was an earlier version that I tried yesterday, and I think I haven't uninstalled it properly
[22:44] <impulze> is there a chance to obtain a shell (with apt-get) from within the alternate cd?
[22:44] <mDemocritus> musikgoat: i'm aware... hypocrisy's ok every once in a while right? ;)
[22:44] <impulze> e.g. don't install anything on my physical devices
[22:44] <atlanta80> fyrestrtr: there is no way to delete the entire /apps/avant-window-navigator directory
[22:44] <musikgoat> mDemocritus for the tyrants :-)
[22:44] <Shiba> joaopinto: interesting.  another machine that was installed with 6.10 less than 30 minutes ago with a virgin filesystem has the same errors
[22:44] <impulze> the busybox environment doesn't seem to offer apt-get
[22:44] <neofax> I hate firefox 3.0 b5 in Hardy!!!
[22:45] <joaopinto> addeboy, erm, 0.8.6g Janus is the version provided on the ubuntu repositories...
[22:45] <GofG> The program that gets used for manual partitioning when first installing ubuntu
[22:45] <GofG> Does that get installed?
[22:45] <GofG> Can I use that program? >.,
[22:45] <atlanta80> fyrestrtr: even tried, "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/avant-window-navigator" and all the info is still there
[22:45] <fyrestrtr> atlanta80: almost never is there "no way to delete" in Linux.
[22:45] <joaopinto> GofG, you can use gparted, the gnome partition editor
[22:45] <musikgoat> mdemocritus thats a bold faced lie :-)
[22:45] <addeboy> joaopinto, isn't 0.8.6c the version in repositories?
[22:45] <goti_aka_miles> hello
[22:46] <atlanta80> fyrestrtr: exactly why I'm confused and looking for help
[22:46] <Jack_Sparrow> GofG sudo apt-get install gparted
[22:46] <gronne> what was the port configuring software called?
[22:46] <gronne> the one pre-installed
[22:46] <navetz> does anyone know how to find out what the max virtual resolution you video card will support with xrandr?
[22:46] <joaopinto> addeboy, well, on hardy it's 0.8.6e, you are using an older release right ?
[22:46] <GofG> Jack_Sparrow, joaopinto: thanks
[22:46] <fyrestrtr> atlanta80: unfortunately -- its almost 1 AM here, so I must get some sleep if I am to be civil tomorrow at the office.
[22:46] <GofG> Wait, will that run under KDE?
[22:47] <joaopinto> GofG, yes, gnome apps run fine under KDE
[22:47] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[22:47] <goti_aka_miles> ys
[22:47] <joaopinto> it will just install a bunch of gtk apps
[22:47] <joaopinto> erm, i mean, libs
[22:47] <dkt> GofG: yes
[22:47] <addeboy> joaopinto, yes, I said earlier, I have 7.10. But I'm thinking to upgrade..
[22:47] <atlanta80> Anyone here familiar with removing things whole "folders" in gconf-editor?
[22:47] <goti_aka_miles> but he must install gtk libs
[22:47] <Jack_Sparrow> addeboy MOst of my boxes here are still gutsy
[22:47] <emma> addeboy: are you happy with your Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[22:47] <joaopinto> addeboy, now there is no doubt, you are running vlc from the repositories, unlike the latest hour for which you were running a local vlc copy
[22:48] <addeboy> emma, I was very happy until this issue with vlc, but I'm pretty sure is my fault here :)
[22:48] <joaopinto> it was :)
[22:48] <fyrestrtr> atlanta80: try in #gnome
[22:48] <DefineKThyne> Does anyone in here know how to create custom boot/install disks?
[22:48] <fyrestrtr> can anyone recommend a simple to-do list manager?
[22:49] <Fjss> how can I automatically unlock my WLan keyring when I boot up??
[22:49] <joaopinto> fyrestrtr, Tasque
[22:49] <fyrestrtr> !info tasque
[22:49] <fyrestrtr> bah
[22:49] <joaopinto> ops, another one from getdeb, sorry
[22:49] <m1r> evening chanell
[22:50] <emma> DefineKThyne: you might want to take a look at this -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395248
[22:51] <DefineKThyne> emma: do you have a moment so i can explain my windows-induced dilemma?
[22:51] <goti_aka_miles> see you everybody
[22:51] <emma> DefineKThyne: you are better off detailing your problems and asking them to the room in general.
[22:52] <consquigulator1> Shiba: I ran sudo reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/sdc1 and it fixed the block count.  Then I ran  reiserfsck --check /dev/sdc1, as per the output from --rebuild-sb.  It said 2 found corruptions.  Then I ran sudo reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/sdc1, it said no corruptions found.  I mounted it, everything seems okay.  Should I repeat with the other block device?  If that works, do I run mdadm --assemble to put it back together?
[22:53] <consquigulator1> Notice no enter for punctuation ;).
[22:53] <Shiba> joaopinto: I cut sources.list down to this: http://rafb.net/p/d000LW86.html and am getting 404s from it

[22:54] <Shiba> joaopinto: I'm not sure where I can grab these packages from
[22:54] <emma> Shiba:  what packages are you looking for?
[22:54] <Pici> Shiba: Edgy is no l
[22:54] <Pici> Shiba: er, No longer supported. Its end of life was in april.
[22:55] <Shiba> Pici: so I can't download packages for it from anywhere anymore?
[22:55] <nighmi> good evening, is there a possibility of using multiple standard fonts for GTK? and if so, how would I do it?
[22:55] <Pici> Shiba: Generally, no.
[22:55] <emma> !fonts | nighmi
[22:55] <Shiba> I need libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap along with supporting packages
[22:56] <Xcell> Which is the (best) inline in system spell checker?

[22:56] <ryckoort_> hi all ;)
[22:57] <Broadcom> !hi | ryckoort_
[22:57] <emma> Pici - could he changes his sources.list to Feisty repositories?
[22:57] <ryckoort_> where i can find a list of depot up to date ?
[22:57] <Pici> emma: He could upgrade using the !upgrade steps
[22:58] <emma> Yeah I thought someone using Edgy is averse to updating.
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> ryckoort_: a list of debs?
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> Xcell: aspell

[23:00] <Ergo^> any easy way to do it ie, create a deb from source ?
[23:01] <Pici> Shiba: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com exists, but mainly for upgrading and may go down at any time.  You really should get off edgy, its past its End of Life.
[23:01] <fyrestrtr> Ergo^: you want to update the version of perl that comes with the system?
[23:02] <Ergo^> fyrestrtr: i dont think so, i should be ok with the version i have, i just need to recompile it so it wont segfault in certain situations
[23:02] <DefineKThyne> My partition issue is in the pastebin if someone would like to take a look for me :)
[23:02] <rony> hi ,,how can I install some aplication whit .exe ?? in ubuntu,,sorry I am new in this ,,,,please
[23:03] <DefineKThyne> ....and I'm sorry that I assumed it would auto format the text.
[23:03] <tj83> rony.. .exe is for windows only... sometimes can be used in wine...
[23:03] <addeboy> for anyone that could be interested, I finally solved the problem I had by doing a "make install" and then a "make uninstall" of the vlc version that showed up in output, and now I'm back to the version that is in repositories :)
[23:03] <deeperror> rony, try wine
[23:03] <tj83> !wine
[23:03] <rony> ok,,, thanyou,, ,,,
[23:03] <Broadcom> does anybody know what this error with kubuntu means? pastebin.com/m552a6883
[23:05] <tj83> Broadcom.. thats a bad link
[23:05] <DefineKThyne> rony: if you go to your Synaptic Package manager and search WINE you'll find what you need.
[23:05] <Broadcom> tj83: http://pastebin.com/m552a6883
[23:06] <rony> definekthyne:.. I go to install wine,,,
[23:06] <Broadcom> !wine | rony
[23:06] <DefineKThyne> rony: mark it for installation, then a little box should come up, press ok, then press the apply button and you should be good to go.

[23:07] <nighmi> Having read the ubottu-link I was given, I've got to ask yet another time, cause it didn't help, or perhaps it would.. perhaps I just don't get it: is there a possibility of using multiple standard fonts for GTK? and if so, how would I do it?   that means.. I want to use different fonts for different scripts...
[23:07] <tj83> Broadcom... Are you trying to get CPU scaling to work? Seems like a driver error... Perhaps the wrong driver for your chip?
[23:07] <keylocker> since the lvm configuration im getting this message
[23:07] <keylocker> [    5.229482] device-mapper: table: 254:4: mirror: Device lookup failure
[23:07] <keylocker> [    5.229482] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
[23:08] <Broadcom> tj83: sorry, i forgot to say that that was in the log right before a crash
[23:08] <keylocker> someone know how can i make my system boot/?
[23:08] <Anthrounit> hey can someone help with with a hard drive setup
[23:08] <rony> yes,,, is 't very easy install one package in ubuntu,, fuck windows,,jejejeje,,, than you guys
[23:08] <mDemocritus> !ask | Anthrounit
[23:08] <tj83> Broadcom had is happend more than once? and what CPU?
[23:08] <tj83> it*
[23:08] <DefineKThyne> keylocker: iotcl errors are never good. i'm pretty sure that means I/O error.
[23:08] <Broadcom> tj83: it is on a powerpc, and it has happend more than once
[23:08] <impulze> DefineKThyne: i don't think so
[23:09] <impulze> he's probably missing device-mapper support in the kernel
[23:09] <Myrtti> !language | rony
[23:09] <keylocker> DefineKThyne: but if i boot a livecd and install dmraid, everything gets fine
[23:09] <rony> ok,,, I am sorry
[23:09] <Broadcom> tj83: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=705267&page=4 look at spaetz's comment
[23:09] <Anthrounit> i have 2 80gig hard drives in a single box they show up in ubuntu as /dev/sda1 and /devsdb1 but they are ide drives the problem is i want the slave drive as a drive for storeing files and to use it as a network share
[23:10] <duane> my distro updated kernel today and now my broadcom works automatically :) finally able ditch ndiswrapper so sweet
[23:10] <tj83> Broadcom... I dont have experience with powerpc... sorry... What architecture are you using? powerpc i assume.. is it possible to run i386?
[23:10] <keylocker> into initramfs i get the same error running dmraid -ay
[23:10] <duane> hardy 8.04 is getting sweet
[23:10] <DefineKThyne> can someone give me a hand with my predicament? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16999/
[23:10] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: hardy has switched over to using all /dev/sd* for hard drives
[23:10] <adamb> Hey guys so I have a video file uploaded, and one was corrupted, one wasnt: the command file outputs: "Microsoft ASF" for the good file and "data" for the bad file. they are same exact size each, how can I tell if this was because of a "ascii" upload instead of binary?
[23:10] <Broadcom> tj83: im on powerpc, hold on ill try
[23:10] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: dmesg | less
[23:11] <Anthrounit> but i keep hearing about these mount points and if i should make it a /home for the slave but idk
[23:11] <tj83> Broadcom... dont do anything... i mean give us uname -a  that is more appropriate
[23:11] <Broadcom> tj83: what do you mean run i836?
[23:11] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: depends on where you want it mounted
[23:12] <tj83> Broadcom.. i mean i386... i dont know much about powerpc.. i do know that there is a specific kernel for it.
[23:12] <Anthrounit> if i mount it as /home does the /home go to that drive only
[23:12] <rony>  	thanks, if I run the wine,
[23:12] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: yes
[23:12] <Broadcom> tj83: www.pastebin.com/m3a6f7c70
[23:12] <Myrtti> !ppc | Broadcom
[23:12] <Anthrounit> all i want is to use it with ext3  for storing stuff that changes alot
[23:12] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: but careful... you'd want to do that during the install
[23:12] <Broadcom> Myrtti: i know what a ppc is!
[23:13] <Myrtti> Broadcom: and seen the wikipage too?
[23:13] <tj83> Broadcom.. doesnt show output.. you can paste single line here
[23:13] <esnuchi> howdy
[23:14] <vraa> hey guys
[23:14] <Anthrounit> so how can i save files to the main drive other then the desktop and /home  and to the slave drive
[23:14] <vraa> i'm gonna setup ubuntu right now, how do i use raid 0? it's detecting my onboard raid array as two seperate drives
[23:14] <lberg> mDemocritus: you still here?
[23:14] <esnuchi> i'm looking for tips on installing ubuntu on an old thinkpad with 500MHz cpu, 64mb ram, 5gb hard disk
[23:14] <rony> 	more a question, as I can compress a file in several parts,?
[23:15] <Broadcom> tj83: hold on a sec
[23:15] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: first of all, Desktop is in /home/username
[23:15] <fyrestrtr> rony: yes
[23:15] <UBUNTUJAY123> esnuchi i would go with xubuntu
[23:15] <mDemocritus> lberg: no.... ;D
[23:15] <Simonft> Linux simon-laptop 2.6.24-18-powerpc #1 Wed May 28 19:29:28 UTC 2008 ppc GNU/Linux
[23:15] <Anthrounit> yes i know but i mean using other places like windows lets you
[23:15] <esnuchi> its looking like the text-based installer will be the better choice, and beyond that... mayber enlightenment window manager?
[23:15] <Broadcom> tj83: Linux simon-laptop 2.6.24-18-powerpc #1 Wed May 28 19:29:28 UTC 2008 ppc GNU/Linux
[23:15] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: you would need to set that up during the install to make sure it works right
[23:15] <lberg> mDemocritus: haha..... well, changing the WEP key didn't help. I'm still stuck at either 1 or 2 mbps connection speed.
[23:16] <Anthrounit> how
[23:16] <UBUNTUJAY123> esnuchi xubuntu is lighter
[23:16] <lberg> mDemocritus: at least according to nm-applet.
[23:16] <mDemocritus> lberg: ouch... how far away? and what's between the wireless card and the router, if you imagine a straight line
[23:16] <esnuchi> ok
[23:16] <UBUNTUJAY123> and if u want an even lighter one go with DSL
[23:16] <mDemocritus> lberg: you can doublecheck the tx/rx rate by running iwconfig
[23:16] <vraa> looks like i need the alternate iso ?
[23:17] <fyrestrtr> eshear: use the 'server' install disk, in text mode. Install the base system only, use tons of swap. You can use it as a console, with 64MB of RAM, you can hardly run any window manager on it.
[23:17] <tj83> Broadcom.. that thread you sent me to seems to suggest your in a "testing" release.. One could expect propbelms... I can tell you that your Error is CPU scaling related.
[23:17] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: during the install, when you set up partitions, tell it to use the entire second disk as /home
[23:17] <tj83> Broadcom beyond that i am afraid i am of no help.
[23:17] <lberg> mDemocritus: probably about 15 ft or less...and just one wall...but the router IS set to transmit at a strength of 2/10.
[23:17] <Broadcom> tj83: ok, should i file a bug?
[23:17] <mDemocritus> lberg: well, change that first of all
[23:17] <rony> fyrestrtr: do you now what is the easy form to compress a file in several parts,,
[23:17] <Anthrounit> so what about the first disk can i still save files to it somewhere?
[23:17] <mDemocritus> lberg: try moving the router or the computer if possible
[23:17] <esnuchi> i tried out DSL and it was very quick, but was lacking in a couple areas like problems with getting firefox plugins like flash working, and not having any sort of package manager
[23:18] <Anthrounit> like if i download something
[23:18] <tj83> Broadcom.. if you want to contribute to the development i would but make sure its in the proper place for this testing release..
[23:18] <lberg> mDemocritus: ok....should i ramp it up all the way to 10? becuause, like I said, I was getting 54mbps before installing WinXP, and nothing has changed except on my computer's side...
[23:18] <Broadcom> tj83: i just realized, it only crashes when it is using batteries. must be somthing to do with the cpu scaling
[23:18] <tj83> I would revert to edgy which is "stable" for powerpc
[23:18] <UBUNTUJAY123> well with the specs i got with any older ubuntu or and older xubuntu
[23:19] <UBUNTUJAY123> either should work fine
[23:19] <mDemocritus> lberg: couldn't hurt
[23:19] <Redhammer> hello short and maybe stupid question, what could be the reason that some avi's on my computer has thumbnails and some only have icon, one example is I have encoded a recording twice in xvid one quant3 and one quant4 -- only the quant4 file has a thumbnail
[23:19] <lberg> mDemocritus: ok...brb
[23:19] <Redhammer> any ideas
[23:19] <Broadcom> tj83: im using it for testing mostly, running kubuntu, so i dont mind bugs
[23:19] <mDemocritus> Redhammer: looks like you isolated the problem....
[23:19] <Adeene> hi :)
[23:19] <Adeene> one question
[23:19] <ledmushroom> how would I make krusader  my defualt file browser
[23:19] <Adeene> is there someone to test or use Wikicalc?
[23:19] <mDemocritus> Redhammer: the thumbnail only works with certain codecs
[23:20] <Redhammer> mDemocritus: no same codec slightly higher bit rate at quant3 than quant4
[23:20] <Anthrounit> but is there anyway i can save my files to both hard disks?
[23:20] <Redhammer> other files work fine at either setting
[23:20] <tj83> Broadcom... well then i guess you are more "qualified" of a linux user than i am.. I am work in progress. But "testing" releases are certainly not meant for normal use.
[23:20] <Redhammer> or can it be too much video bitrate ?
[23:20] <fyrestrtr> rony: rar a -m5 -v10M myarchive /some/directory
[23:20] <thrud> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu. Can anyone help me with installing a theme? if so pm me, cheers :)
[23:20] <mDemocritus> Redhammer: are you sure? AVI is just a container... you're using mpeg 4 on the inside?
[23:20] <thrope> hi im trying to mount a disk by label, but its not showing up in /dev/disk/by-label and won't mount... I set the label with e2label
[23:20] <BCM43> tj83: i know, but i think i will stick with kubuntu 8.04.
[23:21] <fyrestrtr> rony: that will create 10 megabyte files that, when decompressed, will contain the contents of /some/directory
[23:21] <thrope> is there anything I need to do to rescan /dev/disk/by-* directories because none of the new ones show up
[23:21] <Redhammer> mdemo I am using xvid (via avidemux) for all my encodings
[23:21] <tj83> BCM43 ... ok... good luck with that... file your bug report... maybe it will help for the stable release.
[23:21] <BCM43> tj83: ok, any idea where to file it?
[23:21] <Redhammer> similarly I have the issue also with some mpg files -- some have preview thumbnail some do not
[23:21] <esnuchi> so, using the text-based ubuntu installer, could i omit gnome, and install another window manager in its place reasonably easily?
[23:21] <russe11> What is the terminal equivalent to "select best server" to find the best repository mirror?
[23:22] <mDemocritus> Redhammer: ah... that's probably it.... xvid is pretty much mpeg4, with a few changes... i'm clueless to your problem beyond that
[23:22] <Odd-rationale> esnuchi: yes, would have to choose commandline install from the boot up options menu
[23:22] <tj83> BCM43 no.. you would have to research that... I would go back to where you obtained the copy to start with.
[23:22] <BCM43> tj83: ok, thanks
[23:22] <musikgoat> esnuchi: if you are looking for a light window manager, have you looked at xubuntu?
[23:22] <Redhammer> mdemocritus: yes xvid is an open mpeg4 codec
[23:22] <Redhammer> thanks for your help
[23:23] <Odd-rationale> esnuchi: see this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[23:23] <mDemocritus> Redhammer: np, wish i could be more help :D
[23:23] <lberg> mDemocritus: Ok. 10/10 now. nm-applet is still reporting 2mbps , however, iwconfig reports 54mbps. a couple seconds before, iwconfig was reporting 5 and 6 mbps, but i guess it went up for some reason.....
[23:23] <zvacet> esnuchi : yes and aftr that sudo tasksel and check what you want (kubutu,xubuntu)
[23:24] <Anthrounit> So is it not possible to have 2 drives in a box that you can save user files too
[23:24] <rony> fyrestrtr. so I need to use a special package?, or there are any in ubuntu?
[23:24] <fyrestrtr> rony: that example uses rar for compression.
[23:24] <mDemocritus> lberg: that's messy... look for bug reports
[23:25] <fyrestrtr> russe11: netselect-apt
[23:25] <tj83> Anthrounit you say user files... you mean like mp3, test, video and the like?
[23:25] <tj83> text*
[23:25] <zathras_laptop> any ideas how i can get sound back? stopped working after todays update!!! :-(
[23:25] <Anthrounit> yes just that junk i have and i want to share download or mess with that kinda stuff
[23:25] <tyler> Hey guys how can i install MS Office on Ubuntu 8.04
[23:25] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: yes it is, you could mount one drive as /home, then make another directory inside /home or inside /home/username, then mount the second drive
[23:25] <esnuchi> is the base system of ubuntu, xubuntu, and kubuntu going to have around the same memory footprint when you omit the window managers?
[23:25] <mDemocritus> Anthrounit: or something like that
[23:26] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. Any idea how do I make it so that the panel at the bottom of my desktop in Ubuntu is stretched over BOTH monitors, when in twin view?
[23:26] <mDemocritus> tyler: that makes me shudder....
[23:26] <tj83> Anthrounit there is no reason you cannot have multiple drives..
[23:26] <zvacet> tyler : you can try with wine
[23:26] <tyler> Shudder>/?
[23:26] <loquitus_of_borg> tyler: wine should give you a chance
[23:26] <tyler> i know but i get an stupid error message when i tyr
[23:26] <lberg> mDemocritus: well, I guess what I want to know is WHY was this dongle working FINE after a fresh install of Ubuntu PRIOR to putting winblows on the machine, but NOT FINE after a fresh install of Ubuntu AFTER having windows on the machine? Could windows have messed with the network hardware on my mobo? or could it have messed with the hardware of my dongle??
[23:26] <zvacet> !wine | tyler
[23:26] <mDemocritus> tyler: you can try WINE, but i dunno if that'll work. Openoffice is a good word processor
[23:26] <daxro1> Hi all
[23:26] <russe11> fyrestrtr, thanks
[23:27] <loquitus_of_borg> tyler: use open office. Microsoft sucks.
[23:27] <tyler> I've tryed it with one
[23:27] <tj83> Tyler... most of us leave windows because of microsoft... your just barking up the wrong tree... use openoffice.org
[23:27] <Anthrounit> ok ok so if the master drive is /root with the home directory on it i can make a /home/drive2 and mount that then the slave drive will be that correct
[23:27] <mDemocritus> tyler: i shudder to think of people running microsoft software on linux...
[23:27] <tyler> OPEN OFFICE IS HORRIUABLE
[23:27] <jrib> tyler: look into crossover office
[23:27] <tyler> k
[23:27] <tj83> Anthrounit i mount drives in /media personally...
[23:27] <loquitus_of_borg> tyler: no it is not. it is terrific. you are used to something horrible. that's why something good seems horrible. it is a polar effect.
[23:27] <Anthrounit> what happens when i use something like a knoppix disk or another version of linux on this system in the future
[23:27] <rony> fyrestrtr:	yes, well,, for windows using winrar, which is in archives. rar ,,but for ubuntu what  application should use?
[23:27] <Anthrounit> why media
[23:27] <tyler> Open office doesn't nearly have the amount of programs open does
[23:27] <lberg> mDemocritus: and please don't read those capital words as me getting impatient. you've been very helpful. I only capitalized those for emphasis.
[23:28] <Daisuke_Ido> esnuchi: to answer your question, once you omit desktop environments and their libraries, yes, they should all have about the same foorprint
[23:28] <fyrestrtr> rony: also rar :)
[23:28] <tyler> Microsfot
[23:28] <tyler> Microsfot
[23:28] <Daisuke_Ido> tyler: what are you looking to do?
[23:28] <Anthrounit> mine at first came up as /media/sdb1 and i could not save to it
[23:28] <tyler> omg i cant spell
[23:28] <FloodBot3> tyler: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:28] <loquitus_of_borg> tyler: are you using ms word to spell? :P
[23:28] <tyler> Well i need Info path, im going to need Acess and published
[23:28] <fyrestrtr> rony: sudo apt-get install unrar
[23:28] <tj83> Tyler... the whole suite isnt installed in ubuntu by default... and openoffice will do ANYTHING MSoffice will do times 5
[23:28] <tyler> the three open doesn't have
[23:28] <daxro1> Having a little problem with audio after a fresh install of hardy it worked fine , after upgrading sound seems to skip , snd card is a intel 82801G HDA on a sony laptop
[23:28] <mDemocritus> lberg: it's ok... i understand that it doesn't make any sense...
[23:28] <loquitus_of_borg> tyler: I feel sorry for you now.
[23:28] <zvacet> rony : sudo apt-get install unrar p7zip p7zip-full
[23:29] <Odd-rationale> tyler: for access use base
[23:29] <thrud> can anyone help me install a theme? or show me a good guide. I've d/l one and used system>pref>appearance to install, but nothing :(
[23:29] <Daisuke_Ido> tyler: open office has a database that's superior to access
[23:29] <tj83> Anthrounit...  could be a permissions problem
[23:29] <Daisuke_Ido> get scribus to beat publisher down with a brick
[23:29] <rony> ok,,thank I will go to install unrar
[23:29] <tyler> I still need info path and Publisher
[23:29] <Daisuke_Ido> and i'm not familiar with infopath
[23:29] <mDemocritus> lberg: i would check for bug reports with that wireless card, or with the wireless manager relating to link speed
[23:29] <vraa> is XFS stable?
[23:29] <lberg> mDemocritus: but it's pretty impossible that windows might have damaged my network chipset?
[23:29] <mDemocritus> vraa: define stable
[23:29] <Anthrounit> and how would i change a permissions if i had that drive on media/sdb1 still
[23:29] <vraa> better than windows xp :D
[23:30] <adac>  kaffeine wants to install some codec all of the time...and it seems to be in an infinite loop :(
[23:30] <fyrestrtr> tyler: if you need infopath and publisher, then perhaps you should stick with Windows as there is no clear alternative to infopath in Linux. There are programs for desktop publishing though.
[23:30] <musikgoat> windows xp is not a filesystem
[23:30] <mDemocritus> lberg: well.... all conspiracy theorys aside, yeah, that's pretty darn unlikely
[23:30] <vraa> ntfs, sorry
[23:30] <tyler> Im still searching for a way ot get MS Office on it
[23:30] <tj83> there is a command line i am sure someone in here could provide.. but i am too noob to know.. I would use sudo nautilus and use properties to change permissions..
[23:30]  * daxro1 thinks hardy is a downgrade :|
[23:30] <tyler> Why use an alternative when you can go for the gold
[23:30] <tj83> not the cleanest way though
[23:30] <Anthrounit> MS Office can be installed ussing wine
[23:30] <mDemocritus> vraa: the linux filesystems are better than the windows ones, since they don't suffer from fragmentation nearly as much
[23:30] <lberg> mDemocritus: haha.....the reason I'm even WONDERING is that I know for a fact that my motherboard is too new to have drivers built into WinXP.....
[23:30] <musikgoat> cause its just a gold wrapper with coal underneath
[23:30] <fyrestrtr> tyler: #ubuntu-chat for more general discussions please.
[23:31] <daxro1> hardy broke my audio , suspend , hibernate , shutdown , acpi wtf
[23:31] <Cyndrework> whats a good text editor that allows column selections?
[23:31] <lberg> mDemocritus: under normal circumstances, I woudln't suspect such a thing, but......
[23:31] <vraa> that's what i've heard re: ext3 and what not
[23:31] <mDemocritus> lberg: understandable
[23:31] <fyrestrtr> Cyndrework: what is 'column selections'
[23:32] <musikgoat> vraa: ext3 is slow in comparison to xfs
[23:32] <zvacet> tyler : http://www.codeweavers.com/
[23:32] <vraa> than xfs it is :)
[23:32] <tyler> I already have Crossover
[23:32] <daxro1> Can the room be kept on topic please ?
[23:32] <vraa> any suggestions re: raid 0?
[23:32] <tyler> IT just says it needs a newer version of windows
[23:32] <fyrestrtr> tyler: take it to #ubuntu-chat
[23:32] <mDemocritus> vraa: but xfs can lose a bunch of data if the system goes down unexpectedly.... some programs don't write data safely enough to avoid that
[23:32] <Cyndrework> lfryestrtr: instead of selecting left to right and up and down, it would just select any block from top left to bottom right corner
[23:32] <Ergo^> ermm.....
[23:32] <vraa> mDemocritus: thanks for the warning, i'll stick to ext3 then, i dont want to lose any data
[23:33] <Ergo^> i have created new debs for perl from ubuntu's repo
[23:33] <Daisuke_Ido> vraa: yeah, reiserfs will kill your data
[23:33] <tj83> <-- agrees tyler.. seeing the word windows makes my tummy uneasy.
[23:33] <mDemocritus> vraa: it's more FUD than anything, but it can happen
[23:33] <Ergo^> now i did at-get remove --purge perl
[23:33] <vraa> well i'll stay on the safe side
[23:33] <Daisuke_Ido> vraa: then hide it so you can't find it
[23:33] <Ergo^> and it removes 60% of system atm....
[23:33] <Shiba> Pici: *whew* old-releases saved me
[23:33] <Daisuke_Ido> Ergo^: reason for removing perl?
[23:34] <mDemocritus> vraa: ext3 is good up until around 100gb used, then it slows down quite a bit
[23:34] <debian> It stoped at SCSI sg2 type 0, after putting it on usb...
[23:34] <tyler> Heres another question: Im trying to record games like guild wars. World of warcraft, with RECORDMYDESKTOP and that takes alot of CPU up, When i try to record these games the slow starts lagging because of record my desktop. How can i fix this
[23:34] <Shiba> joaopinto: it looks like I had mistyped old-releases as old.releases earlier; apparently both domains resolve
[23:34] <fyrestrtr> Cyndrework: you mean you want to arbitrarily select letters, or you want the ability to use the mouse to click and drag words? Not sure what is difference between "right and up and down" and clicking the mouse and dragging to highlight.
[23:34] <Daisuke_Ido> it's part of the base system, and a lot depends on it, there's virtually no reason it should ever be removed
[23:34] <vraa> oh that's excellent! i have 2 80gb drives
[23:34] <vraa> both are less than 100gb, so i should be good right?
[23:34] <Ergo^> Daisuke_Ido: i needed to have perl build on my machine so it wont segfault on certain situations
[23:34] <Daisuke_Ido> ah...
[23:34] <musikgoat> !raid > vraa
[23:34] <Daisuke_Ido> good thing i said "virtually" :)

[23:34] <fyrestrtr> tyler: turn off desktop effects.
[23:34] <tyler> where and how
[23:35] <tj83> Tyler.... get a faster computer? its a hog.. what can i say..  works.. but works like crap for me too.
[23:35] <fyrestrtr> tyler: system > preferences > appearance
[23:35] <vraa> wow those guides are old heh
[23:35] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: just out of curiosity, what would you recommend for 500gb filesystems?  (more like 460gb realistically)
[23:35] <mDemocritus> Cyndrework: huh that would be pretty cool
[23:35] <vraa> this is what i'm following right now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461
[23:35] <Ergo^> but it seems that 60% of my all packages are getting removed as i type - will apt restore them after i reinstall perl from debs i created ?
[23:35] <musikgoat> raid hasn't changed much
[23:35] <tyler> I have a fast computer
[23:35] <vraa> am i required to still use the alternate iso or can i use the regular amd64 iso
[23:35] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: if you can stick it on a UPS, use XFS
[23:35] <fyrestrtr> Cyndrework: vim can do that, but not sure using the mouse.
[23:35] <Cyndrework> mDemocritus: Edit Plus for windows does it
[23:36] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: unfortunately, that isn't an option :\
[23:36] <tyler> where do i turn off desktop effects in appearence?
[23:36] <daxro1> Ergo^: prob not
[23:36] <fyrestrtr> Cyndrework: try cream.
[23:36] <tj83> Tyler try fyrestrtr suggestion.. i have a moderatly fas pc too...
[23:36] <mDemocritus> Cyndrework: i'll bet vim or emacs could do that.... i just don't know how
[23:36] <musikgoat> vraa: idk about which live cd's work sorry
[23:36] <Ergo^> daxro1: so .... ? i killed my system virtually ?
[23:36] <fyrestrtr> tyler: click visual effects, then click Off
[23:36] <tj83> tyler... or try metacity --replace and compiz --replace when your done
[23:36] <daxro1> I would doubt it , just perl dependant packages
[23:36] <daves111> can anyone tell me why can't send attachments in thunderbird
[23:37] <Cyndrework> just reformated the text so I could paste in a spreadsheet - will check out cream tommorow
[23:37] <tyler> Oo
[23:37] <tyler> Well im gonan go try cyz
[23:37] <BCM43> daves111: are you getting an error?
[23:37] <fyrestrtr> daves111: ask your mail service provider.
[23:37] <daves111> neither service provider works
[23:37] <daxro1> daves111 your not attaching them ? be mooore specific
[23:37] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: xfs is pretty darn good... i warn people about it mostly because of the Gentoo handbook explaination of it... if you have a good backup system, XFS will work fine
[23:38] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: i would recommend rsync for backups...
[23:38] <daves111> error says smtp something
[23:38] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: i've definitely noticed that my drives are a tad slow, but it's 2x500gb SATA, shouldn't be crawling like that...  i'm guessing there's no way to convert a filesystem (reliably)
[23:38] <BCM43> is there any possibility of getting a problem with hardy heron on a ppc fixed?
[23:38] <esnuchi> from command line, can i start up a single graphical app, all by itself, without loading up a bulky window manager as well?
[23:38] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: not so much...
[23:38] <fyrestrtr> Daisuke_Ido: SAS is the way to go -- till SSD come down in price.
[23:38] <daves111> it tries, then stalls and
[23:39] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: are you using software raid?
[23:39] <Daisuke_Ido> esnuchi: there certainly is - i just don't remember how :\
[23:39] <Guest7460> por favor ayudenme en español
[23:39] <daves111> says sending of message failed
[23:39] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: nope
[23:39] <Pici> !es | Guest7460
[23:39] <fyrestrtr> esnuchi: no, you need to load a Window manager. X by itself won't do the job.
[23:39] <Ergo^> lol, mysql got removed and network applet died..... im starting to get worried....
[23:39] <slash> Has anyone else had issues with the latest 2.6.24-18 release and having the nvidia drivers being broken?
[23:39] <fyrestrtr> esnuchi: try tvwm
[23:39] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: are they internal drives, or usb?
[23:39] <Daisuke_Ido> fyrestrtr: you can launch a sincle app
[23:39] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: internal
[23:39] <musikgoat> slash: i haven't rebooted to find out yet
[23:39] <slash> musikgoat, do so with caution.
[23:39] <daves111> because connecting to smtp server failed
[23:40] <daves111>  but I can send an email
[23:40] <daxro1> daves111: it normaly gives an error code , not sure but is there a thunderbird channel, is your mail server up ?
[23:40] <musikgoat> slash: what are you seeing?
[23:40] <Daisuke_Ido> fyrestrtr: see geexbox - they pretty much launch mplayer with a custom GUI without loading a WM
[23:40] <musikgoat> or not?
[23:40] <fyrestrtr> daves111: this is a problem with your ISP/network, not Ubuntu.
[23:40] <musikgoat> slash: which nvidia drivers are you using?
[23:40] <slash> musikgoat, the restricted modules package depends on nvidia-kernel-common and breaks
[23:40] <lscapegoatl> Hello, I have a laptop that I'm trying to boot ubuntu to, can anyone assist me with this
[23:40] <daxro1> daves111: you could be restricted from sending large attachments
[23:40] <mDemocritus> Daisuke_Ido: you could always try out my favorite new filesystem that i know almost nothing about... zfs
[23:40] <daves111> daxro1: yes, I can send a email
[23:41] <Daisuke_Ido> mDemocritus: i've heard good things about zfs
[23:41] <BCM43> is there any possibility of getting a problem with hardy heron on a ppc fixed?
[23:41] <fyrestrtr> Daisuke_Ido: They are launching a WM, even if it appears they are not. If they are using X, they have to use a WM. It is how X works. You can use a framebuffer and avoid X all together.
[23:41] <daves111> daxro1: i don't think so ... I used to be able to
[23:41] <BCM43> lscapegoatl: are you having problems?
[23:41] <daxro1> daves111: contact the mta and ask ( to be sure )
[23:41] <fyrestrtr> BCM43: always, but not likely as the arch is not supported anymore. However, if its fixed in debian, then you can ask for it to be included.
[23:41] <Daisuke_Ido> fyrestrtr: actually, i'm pretty sure they use the framebuffer, nevermind then :)
[23:42] <connor> hello everyone
[23:42] <daves111> daxro1: mta??
[23:42] <Ergo^> ok any hint now how i can get all the stuff that were dependant reisntalled ?
[23:42] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: how would i file a bug for it, or try to get it fixed?
[23:42] <esnuchi> is there a window manager which i can use to only load up a single app, like firefox?
[23:42] <Ergo^> i have no applications at all
[23:42] <connor> hmm
[23:42] <Ergo^> no synaptic, etc
[23:42] <connor> what happened
[23:42] <daxro1> daves111: mail server admin
[23:42] <mDemocritus> musikgoat: BTW i'm stealing your mug :D
[23:42] <slash> muskigoat, I used to be able to still boot 2.6.24-17 and have X come back up, but with the 18 release X hangs and is unable to load the nvidia kernel module
[23:42] <tyranos> i m really upset with ubuntu right now and also the internet !!!!
[23:42] <lscapegoatl> I'm trying to boot ubuntu over PXE but I need an image, can anyone help?
[23:42] <fyrestrtr> BCM43: depends on the problem and where it originates. Is it a debian issue? Is it an issue with Ubuntu customizations? Is it coming from the software itself?
[23:42] <connor> try booting a live cd
[23:43] <Pici> !netinstall | lscapegoatl
[23:43] <JoaoVr> Hi guys
[23:43] <daves111> I once got a message ... too many connections open
[23:43] <JoaoVr> Is there a Skype to Ubuntu?

[23:43] <musikgoat> mDemocritus thats like my 3rd...
[23:43] <musikgoat> lol
[23:43] <connor> brb
[23:43] <lscapegoatl> ubottu, I'm not trying to install
[23:43] <lscapegoatl> I want to run it remotely
[23:43] <fyrestrtr> daves111: again, this is a problem with your ISP and you email service provider; nothing we can do to help.
[23:43] <lscapegoatl> Bah!
[23:43] <tyranos> i ve been googling and asking here for 1 hour and no way to find infos on how to setup a remote control
[23:43] <tj83> joavr.. yes at skype.com
[23:43] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: the cpu manager does not work when the power cable is unplugged, and causes it to crash
[23:43] <fyrestrtr> tyranos: use lirc
[23:43] <JoaoVr> tj83 ty
[23:43] <adamb> so what can I use to play wmv files in ubuntu?
[23:44] <daves111> ok, but what would that mean?
[23:44] <tyranos> fyrestrtr, i m trying but cannot configure it
[23:44] <daxro1> for a package based distro upgrading has broke more and fixed nothing for me ... pita
[23:44] <fyrestrtr> BCM43: "it" is what?
[23:44] <lscapegoatl> adamb: have you tried vlc?
[23:44] <connor> crap
[23:44] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: the cpu manager does not work when the power cable is unplugged, and causes ubuntu to crash
[23:44] <connor> i deleted my desktops taskbar
[23:44] <connor> how do i get the desktops back?
[23:44] <jhamyr> hello
[23:44] <tyranos> fyrestrtr, the remote was working bevor lirc but only half of the function and worked even if the tv s not on ..
[23:44] <connor> 'hi
[23:44] <fyrestrtr> BCM43: you get an oops? or just your cursor stops responding, X freezes, etc.

[23:44] <jhamyr> como estas
[23:45] <Ergo^> lol ubuntu-desktop got removed....reinstlling it.... brilliant... is there any easier way to recompile perl ?
[23:45] <lscapegoatl> I'm looking for a ubuntu boot image that I can use to boot via PXE
[23:45] <connor> no not that
[23:45] <connor> the actual option
[23:45] <fyrestrtr> Ergo^: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. It doesn't matter if its removed.
[23:45] <connor> to switch between desktops
[23:45] <musikgoat> connor: oh sorry
[23:45] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: everything stops working, complete freeze,
[23:45] <tj83> http://pastebin.com/m552a6883 for BCM's errors
[23:45] <fyrestrtr> Ergo^: it only comes into play when you upgrade the distro.
[23:45] <tyranos> daxro1, what s the good thing about gengtoo
[23:45] <musikgoat> connor: are you using desktop-effects?
[23:45] <Ergo^> fyrestrtr: but all the actual packages were wiped out after i removed perl
[23:45] <daves111> fyrestrtr: what would too many connections open mean?
[23:45] <connor> yes
[23:45] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=705267&page=4 look at spaetz, can you help me do that?
[23:45] <fyrestrtr> daves111: means you have too many connections to your mail server.
[23:46] <Ergo^> fyrestrtr: ive readded the package in aptitude and its leeaching the whole system now as it seems
[23:46] <fyrestrtr> BCM43: I can, but after sleep. Its 2 AM :)
[23:46] <daves111> fyrestrtr: oh, ok...
[23:46] <musikgoat> connor: you want to change the number of desktops there... do you have ccsm installed?
[23:46] <connor> no
[23:46] <connor> there are no desktops to choose from
[23:46] <daxro1> it breaks when you break it , more upto date easier to fix, downsides are it assumes your not an idiot :P
[23:46] <_eMaX_> yawn
[23:46] <connor> i accidently DELETED the panel
[23:46] <_eMaX_> apparently I got a new kernel today and now linux doesn't start up as it thinks my root partition is xfs while it is ext3. anyone knows where to change that?
[23:46] <Ergo^> fyrestrtr: anything else i should check to have the system functional again ? any other meta packages to restore my whole system ?
[23:46] <lscapegoatl> I need to know where I can find a ubuntu boot image that I can use to boot via PXE
[23:46] <BCM43> fyrestrtr: oh, wow, ill see if anybody else can. you might mess up my computer WORSE!. jk
[23:47] <fyrestrtr> Ergo^: please ask others, as I'm going to sleep.

[23:48] <tyranos> daxro1, isn t gentoo so that u have to compile everythng from source ???
[23:48] <connor> then boot a live cd
[23:48] <connor> or use vmware or virtual box
[23:48] <connor> or you could use wubi-installer.org
[23:48] <daxro1> tyranos: yeah , its not a downside tho its an enhancement imo
[23:48] <lscapegoatl> The image file has to be less than 30mb or so, or else it will take forever to transfer with PXE
[23:48] <lscapegoatl> How big is the livecd image file?
[23:49] <BCM43> lscapegoatl: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html
[23:49] <BCM43> lscapegoatl: much bigger
[23:49] <tyranos> daxro1, but it would take me a while to compile wine and mplayer and .......
[23:49] <m1r> lscapegoatl: then your setup must be bad with pxe
[23:49] <mthn> sudo dpkg --configure -a----- when i do this, nothings happens, dis means that problem fixed ?
