[00:00] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i'll try the link you have posted, i must admit that after a few hours of googling, i really haven't seen that one
[00:00] <spoonman> recon69, if firefox didn't shut down properly, then probably
[00:00] <clintchance> cpk1, ok thanks il try it
[00:00] <spoonman> recon69, you can just kill those processes if you're not running FF
[00:00] <cpk1> clintchance: usually you want to use madwifi for atheros chipsets, with this one there was a problem and you couldnt until a patch came out. hence why you had to try ndiswrapper, but it looks like it doesnt always work with ndiswrapper
[00:00] <gabbler> soul_sample: google is a skill in itself, i seem to be quite lucky ;)
[00:00] <fellag_> hello world :p
[00:00] <dimisdas> freshy: I havent worked with that stuff too much. I am a mysql and a php specialist basicaly:P
[00:01] <recon69> ﻿spoonman: cant say ff crashed on me, but been having problems with posting data back to web servers
[00:01] <Freshy> dimisdas thanks for the effort!
[00:01] <dimisdas> freshy: You can try the traditional way
[00:01] <dimisdas> freshy: if you are not bored
[00:01] <dimisdas> freshy :P
[00:01] <recon69> I killed them and they gone, it's interesting that they did not show up in system manager
[00:02] <Freshy> traditional being check each one
[00:02] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: do you maybe know why my usb2.0 devices get limited to 12mbps?
[00:02] <dimisdas> recon69: I just saw a fox running...
[00:02] <dimisdas> freshy: results?
[00:02] <recon69> also got 60 or so console kit daemons running
[00:02] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: because i think that could also solve my problem, but i really can't say which solution would be easier
[00:03] <gabbler> soul_sample: not really im afraid im no usb expert, but is that for all usb devices or just that one?
[00:03] <Freshy> i think that i have selected the wrong com during install
[00:03] <Slart> recon69: I've got one.. what are you using to look at the processes?
[00:03] <Freshy> i think i still have xp on this lap, i should check com there
[00:03] <dimisdas> freshy: so try removing and installing again...
[00:03] <recon69> Htop
[00:03] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: my nokia 6234 and my iriver t-60 are unusable. i see the files, folders and everything, but if i try to open anything it gets stuck and disconnects the device
[00:03] <dimisdas> freshy: hehe
[00:03] <spoonman> recon69, are you running ubuntu-desktop? Because I don't think I have 60 processes total :p
[00:03] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: my regular usb flash stick works nicely
[00:03] <ChrissyW> hey all, can anyone help me figure out where I find drivers for my video card? I'm using a Dell Inspiron E1405 Laptop. It has just the default integrated video card in it. I ran a google search but couldn't seem to find anything that helped me
[00:03] <Slart> recon69: mm.. for some reason htop lists lots of console-kit-deamon for me too..
[00:04] <dimisdas> freshy: check with a Virtual Machine if you dont
[00:04] <khari> Guest81952 have you tried changing nvidia settings using the nvidia-settings app?
[00:04] <Freshy> good old vm, i have to play with that again
[00:04] <recon69> ﻿spoonman: ubuntu 8.04 desktop , for the moment, cant say I a happy user since 8.04
[00:04] <Slart> recon69: but ps -A | grep -i console-kit-daemon only shows one.. I don't know if htop does something weird
[00:04] <dimisdas> freshy: VirtualBox...
[00:05] <Guest81952> Just downgraded from nvidia-glx-new to nvidia-glx. restarting x now..
[00:05] <euxidia> how can i know if my graphic card is correctly installed??????plz help me
[00:05] <dimisdas> freshy: Back to action ... hehe :P
[00:05] <dimisdas> euxidia: me douleveis?
[00:05] <spoonman> recon69, did you do a fresh install, or an upgrade?
[00:05] <zilda> how do I change the language at login time? I have the additional language packs installed but I still don't see anything that would allow me to specify a different language on gdm. Any info is appreciated
[00:05] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: sorry, but if you said something, i accidentally closed my window, so :S
[00:05] <euxidia> ??????????????????????????????????
[00:05] <recon69> ﻿Slart: oddly for me that command does not show it at all
[00:06] <amenado> ChrissyW-> type this  sudo apt-get search xserver-xorg
[00:06] <Slart> zilda: looked at the system, administration, login window dialog? might be something there
[00:06] <filo1234> !firewire
[00:06] <ChrissyW> amenado: thanks I'll try that
[00:06] <Guest81952> Khari: The resolution is set to 1920x1200. What's to change?
[00:06] <Slart> recon69: mm.. I wonder if htop or ps is right.. I'm betting on ps
[00:06] <filo1234> have some wiki for firewire ports?
[00:06] <Freshy> i played with virtualbox, but had more luck with qemu... must have been the docs
[00:07] <gabbler> soul_sample: i wish i did :) but if it is tied to just those devices it looks like a driver problem, could you run a windows vm inside ubuntu, messy but it should work
[00:07] <zilda> Slart: I don't have anything like that.
[00:07] <ChrissyW> amenado: it tells me "E: Invalid Operation Search" when I try that.
[00:07] <zilda> Slart: The pages that I've seen so far suggest that there is a language selector somewhere on gdm, but I don't see it....
[00:07] <oscar_> Where can i get the upgrade for the amd64 proc? how is it called? im running x62 ubuntu
[00:07] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: well, then i'll stick with the max_sectors solution, even if i have to run it manually every time... i really try to get away from windows as much as i can ^^
[00:08] <Freshy> does anyone use hellaNZB?
[00:08] <recon69> ﻿spoonman: I upgraded, then I lost my HDD due to kernel panics, then I reinstalled, got loads of kernel panics, then lost my HDD completely ( failed SMART check) reinstalled. and still having lots of weird stuff
[00:08] <amenado> ChrissyW-> my fault.. sudo apt-cache search xserver-xorg
[00:08] <Slart> zilda: hmm.. hang on.. let me get my laptop and I'll take a look
[00:08] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: wine is all the windows i want to see
[00:08] <khari> Guest81952 there isn't much you can change in there, just wanted to check it was picking up the res correctly. you could try clicking on Detect Displays and see what that does for you
[00:08] <zilda> Slart: Thanks. By the way, I'm on hardy heron
[00:08] <Slart> oscar_: upgrade? x62 ubuntu? you mean a 64 bit kernel? don't bother
[00:08] <gabbler> soul_sample: try that link, in fact i am going to use that as well it will be really useful
[00:08] <roastbeef_k> anybody know what is putting the 'search "domain"' at the top of my resolv.conf every time? I want to get rid of it
[00:08] <spoonman> interesting, I have a crapload of console kit running in htop too
[00:08] <dimisdas> recon69: Have you got your settings saved in an another partition?
[00:08] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i will now, i just hope it'll be easier than it looks on the first glance
[00:08] <Slart> roastbeef_k: dhcp is my guess
[00:08] <Guest81952> Khari: does nothing..
[00:09] <ChrissyW> amenado: wow, that brought up a huge list. so I find my graphics card in that list? How do I install it from there?
[00:09] <Freshy> nite everyone!
[00:09] <Guest81952> I need to try restarting. Hold on...
[00:09] <recon69> ﻿dimisdas: fortunately my user dirs where on a different partition and managed to keep everything important
[00:10] <amenado> ChrissyW-> pick the one that matches your video card and sudo apt-get install xserver-xxxxx
[00:10] <roastbeef_k> so, is that either dhclient or dhcdbd? I've looked in dhclient.conf but I don't know what to change
[00:10] <dimisdas> recon69: If i were you: Reinstall :P
[00:10] <ChrissyW> amenado: thanks so much!
[00:10] <amenado> ChrissyW-> i hope it helps..you're welcome ..
[00:11] <gabbler> soul_sample: have had a quick look, all you have to do is make a rule based on your usb and then run a script based on that
[00:11] <Slart> zilda: I have a language button on my login window.. next to the session and actions buttons
[00:11] <ChrissyW> amenado: now to figure out exactly what graphic card I have, lol.
[00:11] <intarwebz> hey have any of you had success spoofing your wifi card mac addresses?
[00:11] <recon69> ﻿dimisdas: it a full clean install, I just copied over datafiles from old partition, no settings
[00:11] <legend2440> ChrissyW: for that card install    xserver-xorg-video-intel  and   xserver-xorg-video-i810 it has the   i915   chipset
[00:11] <dimisdas> recon69: and you are still dealing with probs?
[00:11] <gabbler> soul_sample: if you also add a fstab entry it should make the rule simpler as the device will always be mounted as sdX
[00:11] <dimisdas> recon69: wow
[00:11] <recon69> my latest problem is i cant paste to paste bins
[00:12] <ChrissyW> legend2440: thanks a bunch!! I'll try that.
[00:12] <recon69> or post to the ubuntu forums
[00:12] <zilda> Slart: I don't see them. I'm starting to think that gdm is on one resolution while gnome itself is on another.
[00:12] <amenado> ChrissyW-> lshw -C video  or perhaps lspci |grep video  or xdpyinfo  ?
[00:12] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: all my devices so far got mounted on sdd, i don't know if it's luck or something
[00:12] <zilda> Slart: This is a laptop and I have never used ubuntu before, though I'm familiar with Linux
[00:12] <dimisdas> recon69: You can not post to ubuntu forums?
[00:12] <Slart> zilda: try using another gdm theme.. perhaps not all themes show the buttons
[00:12] <Knightly88> Does anyone know why PHP script has no permissions to create/write to files? I am the owner and Group "root" has create/write permissions... do I need to somehow give PHP or Apache permissions?
[00:12] <spoonman> slart, recon69: the appearance of dozens of instances of console-kit-daemon appears to be a display quirk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4114488&postcount=14
[00:12] <zilda> Slart: Good idea!
[00:12] <gabbler> soul_sample: all your devices, i dont thinks that possible, or do you mean that device, use fdisk -l to check
[00:12] <zilda> Slart: Let m give it a shot and see what happens
[00:13] <dimisdas> gasgion: Geia sou
[00:13] <Slart> spoonman: ahh.. good find.. always wondered about that.. thanks!
[00:13] <amenado> Knightly88-> who owns the script?
[00:13] <recon69> well, had a kernal panic yesterday, but none since the last kernel update which was to day, so hoping that the kernel will stop crashing at least
[00:13] <pucko-> Knightly88, try setting it to the www-data group
[00:13] <zilda> Slart: I'll have to leave the channels for a few minutes as I'm running out of battery. Will try your suggestion and then I'll come back to let you know.
[00:13] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: yes, i meant my cellphone OR mp3, i never had them plugged in at the same time
[00:13] <zilda> Slart: Thanks a bunch!!!
[00:13] <Slart> zilda: I'm using the "Bijou" theme
[00:13] <Slart> zilda: you found it?
[00:13] <Knightly88> I am the owner of the file... my username...
[00:14] <Slart> zilda: ah.. ok.. see you later
[00:14] <amenado> roastbeef_k-> man resolv.conf
[00:14] <zilda> Slart: Bye!
[00:14] <dimisdas> How does theory tells you HOW something works, and it doesnt say why it is not working?
[00:14] <aic_> #ubuntu-de
[00:14] <gabbler> soul_sample: so all you should have to do is create the rule, add it to udev and then write a bash script, just remember to chmod +x
[00:14] <recon69> when i post to the ubuntu forms after about 5 min I get file save dialogue asking if i want to save or open so php file
[00:14] <dimisdas> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft i must be doing sth wrong
[00:14] <recon69> so/a
[00:14] <Knightly88> Pucko  www-data doesn't appear in the Group list... any idea why?
[00:15] <gabbler> soul_sample: so all you now need to do is learn bash ;)
[00:15] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: that sounds encourageing... i think i'll just stick to the music i have on my mp3 @ the moment :D
[00:15] <amenado> gabbler-> thats a monumental task, learning how udev works and events..:P
[00:15] <legend2440> ChrissyW: you will probably need to install    915resolution    also for that card
[00:15] <dimisdas> Wine is not working correctly and the fonts sucks! any idea?
[00:15] <recon69> so i about ubuntu'd out, shame after 3 years flawless use
[00:16] <ChrissyW> legend2440: how do I do that? btw I ran the other installs and it said that I already had the newest version of each. So maybe my video card drivers aren't my problem. hmm
[00:16] <gabbler> amenado: all soul_sample want to do is look for a specific event hopefully not learn everything about udev
[00:16] <elhoir> hello
[00:16] <pucko-> Knightly88, no, www-data is the default user that apache runs as, I think. thus your php script should will run as that user. perhaps check your apache config
[00:16] <gabbler> hopefully :)
[00:16] <roastbeef_k> amenado-> i looked there already. it says the default is the local domain name. mine is 'search "ISP"'
[00:16] <dimisdas>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[00:16] <robdeman> hi all -- my Ubuntu machine is connected to a WIFI network (1 floor above) using a PCI WIFI card --- but youtube etc. play really slow and lots of buffering -- my laptop (winxp) work sjust fine -- I have a really fast UPC 20 mbit connection... -- what makes Ubuntu so slow?/
[00:16] <dimisdas> damm
[00:16] <Lachlan> Hey guys, how can I get the exit code of the last command I ran?
[00:16] <amenado> recon69-> aws..just take a lil nap..have some pepsi or coke, and come back again tomorrow.. :P
[00:17] <elhoir> i dont know if i can ask for this here, but... does anyone know if there is any Getdeb repository working?
[00:17] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i'll have to chmod both the rule and the script, or?
[00:17] <recon69> amenado: it been 3 months of this, dont think a nap going to work
[00:17] <legend2440> ChrissyW:   915resolution    is in synaptic   or in terminal type   sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[00:17] <trashguy> robdeman, interference, bad wifi drivers, lots of things
[00:17] <Knightly88> Pucko, Any idea what I am looking for in my Apache config? Thanks.
[00:17] <gabbler> soul_sample: just the script
[00:17] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: k, thx
[00:17] <legend2440> ChrissyW: what problem are you having?
[00:18] <gabbler> sould_sample: start off with a really simple script to test the rule and then move on
[00:18] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: but i'm positive i'll do something wrong :)
[00:18] <amenado> roastbeef_k-> that has to be combined with your /etc/hosts file
[00:18] <gabbler> soul_sample: i have confidence in you, don't worry
[00:18] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: well, all i need is a one line script to change the max_sectors... how much easier can it be?
[00:18] <limep1> hey there, I have a USB key that works with my v 7.04  liveCD, but I did something funky to my 8.10 install and now wifi doesn't work properly
[00:18] <pucko-> Knightly88, grep APACHE_RUN /etc/apache2/envars
[00:18] <gabbler> soul_sample: exactly
[00:18] <ChrissyW> legend2440: I installed Wine. And I can't get it to run a game, Ragnarok Online, that I've been trying to play through it. Someone suggested that the problem was my video card drivers but even after doing all of this, it still won't run.
[00:19] <gabbler> soul_sample: and solve world peace
[00:19] <limep1> I'm running off the liveCD right now, naturally
[00:19] <pucko-> Knightly88 envvars that is
[00:19] <alecwh> I want to make a video slideshow (pictures and music), and I don't know how to do this in Ubuntu. What programs do this?
[00:19] <recon69> funny thing is, if i did not have to use a encrypted wireless network I would down grade back to 6.06
[00:19] <spoonman> ChrissyW, did you install the game in Ubuntu, using Wine?
[00:19] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i'm pretty sure that bashing can solve world peace. you just need to bash the right people
[00:19] <alecwh> !slideshow > alecwh
[00:19] <legend2440> ChrissyW: have you asked in channel  #winehq?
[00:19] <gabbler> soul_sample: :)
[00:19] <neil_d> what is the standard serial port known as ?
[00:19] <amenado> alecwh-> i dont know on top of my head, google for ubuntu making training videos
[00:20] <ChrissyW> spoonman: I installed it in Ubuntu, using Wine, yes.
[00:20] <spoonman> hmm
[00:20] <Knightly88> Pucko this is what I got: export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
[00:20] <Knightly88> export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
[00:20] <amenado> neil_d-> ttyS0 or ttyS1
[00:20] <ChrissyW> legend2440: I didn't know there was a winehq channel, lol
[00:20] <roastbeef_k> amenado-> I just want to know what keeps updating that line, because I delete it and it comes back on the next reboot. I read that I don't need it, and I want to rule this line out
[00:20] <neil_d> amenado: thanks
[00:20] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: so if i put in a rule KERNEL=="sd?" and nothing else, it should apply to all usb devices, yes?
[00:20] <klaes> hey, i got some links in my /boot folder, but when i ls -l on them, it seems they link to something non-existent: config -> config-2.6.26-rc3-wl (it appears as red where normal links are light blue) safe to remove it you think?
[00:20] <ChrissyW> spoonman: I previously tried to run it under VMWare, but was unsuccessful as I got a graphic card error message
[00:20] <amenado> roastbeef_k-> look in your dhclient.conf  settings
[00:20] <sigma_> ChrissyW: be sure that you mean you downloaded the RO setup.exe and ran that program using wine -as opposed to installing it on a windows partition and then switching to ubuntu and running that
[00:20] <pucko-> Knightly88, ok. so why don't you have that group? see if it exists in /etc/group
[00:21] <quaal> where is the config file for gnome panel? i want to copy one of the launchers i have on it
[00:21] <roastbeef_k> amenado-> I have it open already. Is it the "request" line? should I delete somethign there?
[00:21] <ChrissyW> sigma_: I am sure. I downloaded it using Ubuntu and installed it using Wine. I didn't install it from a windows partition.
[00:21] <spoonman> ChrissyW, I don't know -- might want to try asking in #winehq
[00:22] <legend2440> ChrissyW: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240319
[00:22] <ChrissyW> spoonman: thanks, I will. XD
[00:22] <roastbeef_k> amenado-> basically all I have is a " send host-name" and "request (bunch of stuff)"
[00:22] <ChrissyW> legend2440: Thanks! I'll read that now.
[00:22] <gabbler> soul_sample: yes but remember to have 1 at the end because sd? is the root device not an actual partition

[00:27] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: what does fi stand for in a bash script? is it like the end of the program or sth?
[00:27] <Knightly88> Pucko, Ok, Thanks for your help.

[00:27] <giacomo_carissim> i got the drivers off the ati website
[00:28] <spoonman> ah
[00:28] <Xires> Soul_Sample; it denotes the end of an 'if' statement

[00:29] <spoonman> EnvyNG, the most reliable way to install drivers not in the official repository is probably EnvyNG: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[00:29] <legend2440> giacomo_carissim:  have you checked if drivers are enabled in   System>Administration>Hardware Drivers?
[00:29] <spoonman> er
[00:29] <giacomo_carissim> hmmm, let me see
[00:29] <spoonman> giacomo_carissim, the most reliable way to install drivers not in the official repository is probably EnvyNG: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[00:30] <gabbler> soul_sample: its just used if the if statement the syntax is if...else...fi
[00:30] <bazhang> spoonman, that is in the repos envyng-gtk
[00:30] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | spoonman
[00:30] <spoonman> right
[00:30] <giacomo_carissim> im enabling the ati drivers under that system>admin>hardware drivers... does that change everything i've done with the downloaded drivers from ati's website?
[00:30] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: ok, so after i've chmoded the script, i need to udevconfig reload_rules and try to connect my device again?
[00:30] <klaes> amenado: got it?
[00:31] <gabbler> soul_sample: yep
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> spoonman Sending them to http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html    can lead to problems
[00:31] <spoonman> oh, sorry Jack_Sparrow
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:31] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: nope, my max_sectors remained the same :|
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy > spoonman
[00:32] <kthakore> how do I open java console to find out why an applet is not working (http://www.ninjavideo.net/applet.php )
[00:32] <gabbler> soul_sample: did the script run?
[00:32] <giacomo_carissim> does ubuntu keep the latest updated ati drivers?  basically i just want 3d to work so i can play some video games, i dont really care for compiz/beryl/eyecandy
[00:32] <Scientus> would it be posible to run a graphical session that is running off the local computer but whose files, etc, settings, everything but graphical packages come from a remote server via sshfs or ftp or samba?
[00:32] <legend2440> giacomo_carissim: that installs the ati open source drivers. if you want the proprietary drivers then use   envy-ng to install them. i have ati radeon and the open source drivers work well for me
[00:33] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: ok, scratch that, it's working now :O
[00:33] <gabbler> soul_sample: cool what did i do ;)
[00:33] <giacomo_carissim> hmm, im going to try and reboot and see what happens... thx guys, ill probably be back in a minute
[00:34] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: but i had to specify the device specifically to sdd, so if i get my usb device mounted as anything else, back to square one
[00:34] <gabbler> soul_sample: fstab
[00:34] <xcesarfrancox> Hello everyone, I have weird colors on my usplash when shutting down, anyone has a similar issue?
[00:34] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: care to elaborate that a bit more?
[00:34] <Slart> Scientus: I guess you could map the root drive using nfs or something and use that to read the files from.. that would use the current computer for all work but use the files, settings and such from the server
[00:34] <ChrissyW> Okay, this is probably a really obvious question, I'm just still getting used to the terminal... how do I navigate to different folders on my hard drive using the terminal?
[00:34] <Xires> xcesarfrancox; LCD panel?
[00:34] <jrib> !cli > ChrissyW (read the private message from ubottu)
[00:34] <xcesarfrancox> yup
[00:35] <Xires> xcesarfrancox; laptop or no?
[00:35] <Slart> Scientus: not sure if you can mount the root drive like that.. but it's worth checking
[00:35] <Bizzeh> if i wanna totaly null a drive so there is nothing at all left on it, even the partition tables, guid tables.. everything that anything might pick up on... i wanna do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde" right? (assuming the drive is /dev/sde)
[00:35] <Scientus> Slart: but would graphical programs continue to work--could you still launch them?
[00:35] <ChrissyW> jrib: thanks
[00:35] <amenado> klaes you didnt show if there were any symlinks in htat /boot dir.. try to do a   ls -la
[00:35] <xcesarfrancox> Xires: it happens on my laptop and on my desktop
[00:35] <Slart> Bizzeh: there is a program called wipe.. it writes random patterns and such
[00:35] <recon69> ﻿ChrissyW: easy "cd <dir>" or "cd .." to go back
[00:35] <gabbler> soul_sample: fstab controls what is mounted and how, if you look at the fstab you will see a uuid, you can use this among other things to uniquely identify your device so it gets loaded as something specific and the smae each time
[00:35] <Scientus> Slart: or would you have to do a fancy chroot and export path thing?
[00:35] <Slart> Scientus: I can't really see why not
[00:35] <Scientus> ok
[00:35] <gabbler> soul_sample: the command to check uuids, is sudo blkid
[00:35] <Bizzeh> Slart:  wanna make sure it has nothing at all, no data, recognisable or otherwise
[00:36] <Slart> Scientus: all this mapping of drives would have to be done before any graphical system starts though
[00:36] <amenado> ChrissyW-> I hope you remember your dos days using your dos commands, similar concepts..
[00:36] <Xires> xcesarfrancox; then I'd say it's having difficulties switching color depths..if it's a radeon chipset, check radeontool..it might help, might not
[00:36] <Slart> Bizzeh: sounds like a job for wipe.. it's what I use for drives before I give them away
[00:36] <trashguy> linux is no where near dos
[00:36] <trashguy> ^^
[00:36] <Xires> xcesarfrancox; sorry I can't really help further
[00:36] <Agent_bob> hmmm process " 14920 tty24 S+ 0:00 grep -HiRe /z: .  "  seems to be stalled out or looping one'r t'other    is there any way to findout exactly what it's doing ?
[00:36] <Slart> Bizzeh: takes a couple of days for a normal drive ~300Gb
[00:36] <ChrissyW> amenado: Unfortunately, i don't remember many of my dos commands. I think I was probably twelve the last time I really used DOS extensively.
[00:36] <Scientus> Slart: so like mount, chroot, then what?
[00:36] <Bizzeh> Slart: cant be an app that looks up for any data at all... (this is why i used dd in the first place)
[00:36] <trashguy> dos/nt is more like vms
[00:36] <xcesarfrancox> Xires: It's ok, thanks
[00:36] <giacomo_carissim> hey, i think it worked, it didnt just give me a white screen and fglrxinfo came back with ati instead of mesa... but does this mean that i didn't need the ati drivers from their website?
[00:37] <Sithe> I upgraded to 8.04 now when ever I log in it just hangs there at a blank orange screen.
[00:37] <Slart> Scientus: I don't know how to do it.. I just said there ought to be a way to do it =)
[00:37] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: ok, so far i'm with you... but what exactly do i need to put in fstab?
[00:37] <Slart> !info wipe
[00:37] <klaes> amenado: doh, sry, here ya go... http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d18c7b51d
[00:37] <Xires> can anyone point me to information on getting ytalk to work properly on Ubuntu? I have tried many things including different talk daemons and I'm always told that there is no talk daemon running
[00:37] <ShadowKnight> Sithe: did you try running in the command line?
[00:37] <amenado> ChrissyW-> okay, maybe you can get one of these online tutorials for bunch of the command line "commands"
[00:37] <spoonman> Sithe, have you tried booting into Recovery Mode? It's an option in the bootloader before Ubuntu starts loading
[00:37] <Scientus> Slart: ok, just seems like a fancy way to be noobie oriented but not have to install a graphical environment on servers
[00:37] <gabbler> soul_sample: now if i tell you where is the fun for you? :)
[00:37] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: How does one do that? O:
[00:37] <ChrissyW> amenado: Yeah, I'm looking for one right now
[00:37] <recon69> ﻿giacomo_carissim: well yes. if you enabled the restricted drivers you got the ati drivers running now
[00:38] <ChrissyW> amenado: *through one, not for one
[00:38] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: fun is in me being able to put some new music on my mp3 by morning when i have to drive for 4 hours? :D
[00:38] <ShadowKnight> Sithe:　ctrl-alt-F1 will open a command line.
[00:38] <legend2440> giacomo_carissim: in terminal type   glxinfo | grep direct  and make sure direct rendering is enabled
[00:38] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: I'll try it hold on
[00:38] <Agent_bob> knee 1 ?
[00:38] <trashguy> That take syou to a different terminal
[00:38] <klaes> amenado: its the config file, System.map and vmlinuz im wondering about ofc...
[00:38] <amenado> klaes->again you used only ls, try   ls -la
[00:39] <gabbler> soul_sample: thats what an alarm clock is for, set it a few hours earlier and voila :P
[00:39] <ShadowKnight> Um Sithe, if you're still there... ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back to the GUI...
[00:39] <jacoblyles> Has anybody gotten the videos at railscasts.com to work in Ubuntu? They appear to be in the .mov format and I can't get them to work.
[00:39] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: ok, ok, i'll try on my own :)
[00:39] <klaes> amenado: ehm... its showing all the links for me... http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d18c7b51d
[00:39] <gabbler> soul_sample: hang on, hang on, im looking for an example for you...
[00:39] <ChrissyW> amenado: Question for you. I'm in directory /.wine/drive_c$. When I type dir, I get "Program/ Files windows" comes up as folders in the directory. I'm trying to get into the Program Files directory, but typing Program doesn't work, nor does typing Program Files or Program/ Files. Any idea how I get into that directory?
[00:39] <jacoblyles> I'm on 8.04 x64 version
[00:40] <amenado> klaes-> ahh i didnt open it..anyways one symlinks points to nowhere so you can delete that
[00:40] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: Yes the command line opens
[00:40] <Slart> ChrissyW: Program\ Files.. remember case sensitive
[00:40] <ShadowKnight> Can you log in, Sithe?
[00:40] <Slart> ChrissyW: or use <tab> for autocompletion
[00:40] <legend2440> ChrissyW: if you inastall   nautilus-open-terminal   it adds a menu item so when you right click inside any folder you can open a terminal there.. save a lot of time and typing
[00:40] <ChrissyW> I tried it case sensitive.
[00:40] <klaes> amenado: :P dont all 3 symlinks point nowhere it seems?
[00:40] <trashguy> ChrissyW, what are u trying to do, show files you use ls
[00:40] <ChrissyW> legend2440 I'll do that, thanks.
[00:40] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: I could already from the GUI. But AFTER I login in it just hangs at that orange screen (the one before the desktop loads). So basically the desktop doesn't load.
[00:41] <recon69> ﻿ChrissyW: could be that space causing problems
[00:41] <amenado> ChrissyW-> escape the space with  \
[00:41] <ChrissyW> amenado: okay thanks
[00:41] <Agent_bob> klaes readlink -f blah
[00:41] <trashguy> ChrissyW, also bash support auto complete so type few letter you want and it tab
[00:41] <amenado> klaes-> yes.. so yeah you can delete those useless symlinks
[00:41] <ShadowKnight> Right, Sithe, so what I'm saying is that if you can run everything normally from the command line, the install is probably fine, but you don't have the right video drivers.
[00:41] <Xires> can anyone point me to information on getting ytalk to work properly on Ubuntu? I have tried many things including different talk daemons and I'm always told that there is no talk daemon running
[00:41] <gabbler> soul_sample: here is a start, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131
[00:42] <Bizzeh> Sending a USR1 signal to a running `dd' process makes it
[00:42] <Bizzeh> print I/O statistics to standard error and then resume copying. << how do you send USR1 ?
[00:42] <Sithe> ShadowKnight:  Ohh =\
[00:42] <Agent_bob> anyway to see what a process is actually doing ?
[00:42] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: Is there a command to get the right ones?
[00:42] <ShadowKnight> Sithe: what video card are you running?
[00:42] <klaes> Agent_bob: got it :)
[00:42] <ChrissyW> trashguy: sweet thanks. The tab worked. It was because even though it said it was "Program\ Files" it was "Program\ Files/" odd.
[00:42] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: I honestly have no idea. Its an old laptop with an integrated graphics card.
[00:42] <klaes> amenado: good good, n thx :)
[00:42] <amenado> Xires-> how are you running the daemon?
[00:43] <Storrgie> SeaPhor: you there?
[00:43] <amenado> klaes okay..you're welcome
[00:43] <recon69> ﻿ChrissyW: no , it was the space, you can leave off the last / and have no problems
[00:43] <Xires> amenado; I've tried via inetutils-inetd, xinetd and openbsd-inetd
[00:43] <ShadowKnight> Sithe: Hmm. Well that's a problem since there are different drivers for different cards.
[00:43] <Bizzeh> anyone, how would i send a usr1 signal?
[00:43] <ChrissyW> recon69: oh okay, thanks.
[00:43] <euxidia> how to install the ati 9550 pro driver???????,
[00:44] <Xires> amenado; I have also tried default configs, modified(to copy from a working Debian sconfiguration) and something found on forums
[00:44] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: It was working fine before the upgrade
[00:44] <amenado> Xires-> and when you were using xinetd , they dont normally show up in ps,
[00:44] <spoonman> sithe, try lspci in the console, that should list something in the AGP section
[00:44] <ShadowKnight> Sithe: I'm not too experienced with video drivers, so you'd better ask someone else, but I suggest you do as was said above and try booting in safe mode and see what happens.
[00:44] <Agent_bob>    does anybody know anyway to see what a process is actually doing ?
[00:44] <Xires> amenado; I understand, I used netstat -lnpA inet to check that it was running
 SeaPhor: you there?
[00:45] <legend2440> euxidia: have you checked   System>Aministration>Hardware Drivers to see if there is a box in there to enable drivers?
[00:45] <amenado> Xires  the tcpwrappers with xinetd runs and only calls your daemon as needed
[00:45] <Storrgie> SeaPhor: I pmed you
[00:45] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i think i don't understand this. how exactly do i specify that i want my cellphone as sdd ... the only place where i see those marks in fstab is under comments
[00:45] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: Agi Radeon RV250
[00:45] <Sithe> ShadowKnight: Wups ATI*
[00:45] <gabbler> soul_sample: now that you are a udev expert i have found this as well, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/06/how-to-always-mount-removable-drives-in-the-same-place-ubuntu-6061-610/
[00:45] <Xires> amenado; correct, but when the client attempts connection, it reports that no daemon is running
[00:45] <recon69> ﻿Agent_bob: think the only way is to have the source, compile a debug version and use gdb debugger.
[00:45] <pavan> hello can anyone help me
[00:46] <Sithe> Spoonman: Thanks
[00:46] <Xires> amenado; this occurs with all above mentioned configurations
[00:46] <amenado> Xires-> try to enable debugging on or syslogging,  so you can see if it is alive
[00:46] <euxidia> i'm having trouble installing my graphic card
[00:46] <euxidia> ???????????????
[00:46] <XB23> guys how do i find the ip to a user currently logged into ssh
[00:46] <euxidia> can u help me?????????????????
[00:46] <recon69> ﻿Agent_bob: not a very straight forward thing to try.
[00:46] <ShadowKnight> Sithe: I run an Nvidia, so I definitely can't help you... Sorry.
[00:46] <bazhang> !helpme | euxidia
[00:46] <amenado> XB23-> try   lsof -i
[00:47] <Agent_bob> recon69 nothing in /proc or anywhere that can show it ?     i mean i could start it with strace  but i want to knw what has it hung right now.  might not hang next time.
[00:47] <Xires> amenado; I have checked /var/log/daemon.log and it is reported as alive..inetutils-inetd reported an issue with 'nobody.tty' not existing, I patched /etc/inetd.conf to compensate..the service ran, ytalk still reports 'no daemon'
[00:47] <euxidia> ok
[00:47] <Sithe> I just upgraded to 8.04 and after I log in it just hangs at the orange screen and doesn't load the desktop. Running an ATI Radeon RV250.
[00:47] <recon69> ﻿Agent_bob: far beyond my skills
[00:47] <Agent_bob> recon69 k.
[00:47] <pavan> I have 2 hard drives in my pc. and i installed ubuntu in 1st hard drive, now i want to uninstall that and install it in 2nd hard disk,
[00:48] <amenado> Xires thats a tuff one to find then.. sorry dont have much more info
[00:48] <legend2440> euxidia: you are having problem physically installing card in the computer?
[00:48] <Agent_bob> pavan why not just move it ?
[00:48] <spoonman> sithe, I would try booting into Recovery Mode -- all things being equal, Ubuntu should have no trouble identifying your vid card and loading the proper drivers
[00:48] <Xires> amenado; alright, ty..I just wanted to double-check that I'd tried everything
[00:48] <pavan> but how to move it?
[00:48] <Agent_bob> pavan ummm skill level might be a problem then...
[00:48] <Sithe> Spoonman: How does one boot into recovery mode?
[00:48] <Agent_bob> disreguard
[00:49] <amenado> Xires-> come to think of it, is the client on same box or from an external remote host?
[00:49] <ShadowKnight> Brb everyone
[00:49] <amenado> Xires perhaps the firewall is preventing it from connecting in?
[00:49] <pavan> pls try to help me in moving it
[00:49] <spoonman> sithe, it's an option in the boot loader, a menu that shows up before the Ubuntu load screen
[00:49] <Sithe> Spoonman: I don't have a boot loader :\
[00:49] <Sithe> Spoonman: Never have
[00:49] <spoonman> ah...
[00:50] <recon69> ﻿Sithe: that menu might not show automatically, not sure of the key you need to press when booting , it's delete or esp
[00:50] <recon69> esp/esc
[00:50] <Sithe> Recon69: Alright I go do that. Brb
[00:50] <Xires> amenado; same machine, trying to ytalk between 2 terms..iptables flushed and policy set to ACCEPT../etc/hosts is set up correctly as well..however, I have not checked /etc/nsswitch.conf and DNS configuration
[00:50] <pavan> pl help me
[00:50] <chmac> Is it possible to install NetworkManager 0.7 in Ubuntu 8.04?
[00:50] <recon69> ﻿Sithe: if you go to the bios , just exit and keep tring
[00:50] <bazhang> pavan, move what
[00:51] <Xires> bazhang; pavan wants to move the system from 1 HDD to a newly installed drive
[00:51] <pavan> move ubuntu installed in 1 hard drive to 2nd hard drive
[00:51] <Agent_bob> pavan you could either make an exact copy of the installations partition on the other disk with dd (assuming you have partitions, and that size constraints allow)   or you could make a linux fs and copy all the installed system to the new home.    but if i'm talking gibberish,  your're better off just installing clean on the other hdd and then deleting the partition it's now on.
[00:52] <bazhang> pavan, better to just install unless you want to do some reading on how to do this.
[00:52] <Sithe> Spoonman: Alright I'm in recovery mode.
[00:52] <bazhang> Xires, thanks
[00:52] <Xires> bazhang; np
[00:52] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: well, i must admit taht i got lost now, but nevermind, it's working, it always mounts my first connected device as sdd
[00:52] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: so far i'll leave it at that, thank you so much :)

[00:53] <pavan> but how to delete ubuntu from 1st hard disk?
[00:53] <spoonman> sithe, I gotta go AFK for a few minutes, but take a look at this
[00:54] <spoonman> !res > sithe
[00:54] <Agent_bob> paven simply delete the partition it's on.
[00:54] <gabbler> soul_sample: the thing we need in ubuntu now is actually ATTRS{serial}
[00:54] <pavan> any can that be done?
[00:54] <amenado> pavan worry about it once you have a new install on your new hard disk..you may find out later you want to retrieve some old files there
[00:54] <gabbler> soul_sample: and then the rest should work
[00:54] <bazhang> pavan gparted
[00:54] <pavan> ok
[00:55] <yell0w> NetEcho: update-alternatives --config java
[00:55] <tj83> sudo apt-get install gparted
[00:55] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i got lost in the process of formatting the file, i really couldn't understand what to write and where
[00:55] <NetEcho> yell0w already got it lol
[00:55] <Agent_bob> paven there are lots of tools that can do that, both from M$ and from linux   gparted cfdisk fdisk  are some linux tools.   fdisk is a standard M$ tool also
[00:55] <yell0w> NetEcho: ok
[00:55] <gabbler> soul_sample: formatting the file what do you mean
[00:57] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: formatting the text,  i meant - i don't understand what information i need to type where
[00:57] <gabbler> soul_sample: did you create you rule and then chmod it ?
[00:58] <Soul_Sample> yes, that part is working great :)
[00:58] <julius> Hello, does one of you know something about librxtx-java ? I need to have com ports in a program but it doesn't appear :/ I don't know why. I don't think It's a daemon. The program needs librxtx-java-2.1. I installed it but nothing has changed :/
[00:58] <Agent_bob> paven "partition magic" seems to be a favorite M$ tool for working with partitions.     as for gparted it's on the ubuntu live CD's and there is a "gparted live CD"  as well
[00:58] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: i've just put some new music on my mp3 and it's working great
[00:58] <cyphase> Does anyone have any suggestions for the best settings to use for when tunneling VNC through an SSH connection over broadband? Should I use SSH compression? What sort of encoding should I use for VNC?
[00:58] <gabbler> soul_sample: cool
[00:59] <cyphase> i haven't had to many problems, but i thought i might try something new
[00:59] <gabbler> soul_sample: glad it works well, the link i sent you about udev and mounting should also work, if you need it
[00:59] <Agent_bob> SOP "if it isn't broken, configure it"
[00:59] <Bizzeh> right, i have a 2gb sd card.. i have seen it be a 2gb sd card.. one day, all the data went off it.. i formatted it.. and for some reason, i can only access 1gb of the card now... even after nulling the whole disk... its still only allowing access to 1gb... anyone ever had any sort of problem like this?
[00:59] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: right now i'll settle with this, but sure i'll explore further regions of udev, bash and other nice things when the right time comes (that is, when something doesn't work again :) )
[01:00] <gabbler> soul_sample: an example to put in the udev rule would be, BUS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="RD43Q1OX" , NAME{all_partitions}=="temp"
[01:00] <gabbler> soul-sample: np, glad i could help, i accept all forms of cc :)

[01:01] <gabbler> soul_sample: really, god knows how much i owe then :)
[01:02] <Soul_Sample> gabbler: well, own-age is one of the reasons why i switched to linux. got tired of having to look for keygens and cracks for everything :P
[01:02] <Sithe> Soul_Sample: Quick I hear the cops
[01:03] <gabbler> soul_sample: i know what you mean, it might take a bit to get where you need to go, but its all free
[01:03] <XB23> guys how do i find the ip to a user currently logged into ssh

[01:07] <giacomo_carissim> ok, new problem.  im trying to install the murrine engine, but when i try to run ./configure, it says there is no GTK
[01:07] <erichammond> My wireless keeps switching back and forth "eth1: switched to short barker preamble" / "eth1: switched to long barker preamble"
[01:07] <bazhang> armednuke, clamav
[01:07] <Soul_Sample> armednuke: you probably won't need antivirus software on ubuntu
[01:07] <kahrytan> armednuke,  Its not needed but avg, avast, clamav
[01:07] <armednuke> thankyou
[01:07] <recon69> ﻿euxidia: well how far you got, can you get the GUI up?
[01:07] <armednuke> i will take a note of those names
[01:07] <danbhfive> !virus > armednuke
[01:08] <kahrytan> armednuke,  all three have linux viruses
[01:08] <kahrytan> armednuke,  all three have linux versions ***
[01:08] <armednuke> k
[01:08] <spoonman> sithe, I've been Googling around, and I don't know a good way to fix a completely blank desktop -- you can use fsck, but I don't have a lot of experience with that
[01:08] <kahrytan> armednuke,  Linux only has few viruses and those are inert.
[01:09] <spoonman> fsck can trash your filesystem if you don't know exactly what you're doing
[01:09] <kahrytan> Does having /boot partition enable someone to have multiple distros using the /boot ?
[01:09] <powertool|lappy> I have a bcm43xx card, is the fw-cutter method better, or the ndiswrapper?
[01:09] <Gaming4JC> beli: It worked! IT'S AWESOME!!!!... thanks. :D
[01:09] <SNESLink> Hey, I was wondering if I created a new user account in ubuntu and installed KDE through it, would all of the KDE apps still show up in my other accounts?
[01:10] <Agent_bob> spoonman it "shouldn't"  but you can get it too  yes.
[01:10] <Sithe> spoonman: Alright Ill try that thanks
[01:10] <kahrytan> SNESLink, Yes
[01:10] <Agent_bob> kahrytan yes.
[01:10] <amenado> kahrytan-> yes its possible
[01:10] <ShadowKnight> SNESLink: if you install it as root.
[01:11] <Gaming4JC> It was very elementary, I mean everyone thinks of setting up Open SSH server behind firewalls to allow a virtual computer to SFTP over to the host computer. I should have thought of that. o_O
[01:11] <Gaming4JC> lol but thanks guys.
[01:11] <benny> whats better 7.10 or 8.04 for bcm4318 card
[01:11] <kahrytan> amenado,  what do you mean its possible
[01:11] <benny> 7.04 worked great
[01:12] <kahrytan> benny,  you should upgrade to lts
[01:12] <powertool|lappy> benny: Did you use fw-cutter or ndiswrapper with 7.04?
[01:12] <Brian88> hi. do you know how to set my monitor's resolution to 1152x864? my monitor supports it but in resolution window only displays 1024x768 and 1152x768
[01:12] <Kidfork> Whats the difference between a 32bit computer and a 64bit and how can i upgrade
[01:12] <kahrytan> benny,  have you tried Lint Mint 5 (Elyssa) ?
[01:12] <benny> I was thinking the nic was going
[01:12] <SNESLink> is there a way around that, or will I just have to go in to my menu settings in gnome afterwards ad disable the kde apps individually?
[01:13] <BoNe> anyone ever installed eyeOS onto a Ubuntu Server 8.04
[01:13] <kahrytan> benny,  have you tried Linux*** Mint 5 (Elyssa) ?
[01:13] <ShadowKnight> Kidfork: 64 bits run 64 bit programs faster. You need to buy a new computer to upgrade.
[01:13] <bazhang> kahrytan, are you recommending mint in #ubuntu?
[01:13] <benny> no I havent but older versions
[01:13] <chmac> Can anyone recommend a program (preferably a daemon) to monitor bandwidth usage on my 3g modem?
[01:13] <spoonman> tsk
[01:13] <chmac> I want to avoid nasty over-limit bills at $150 per GB :)
[01:13] <ShadowKnight> Kidfork: unless your mainboard already supports 64 bit cpu
[01:14] <ShadowKnight> Which I doubt it does if it's running a 32 bit now.
[01:14] <Kidfork> shadowknight: can i just buy a new processer or new mother board?
[01:14] <Kidfork> shadowknight: how can i tell?
[01:14] <benny> hey kakrytan I have used lts on my desktop works great
[01:14] <SNESLink> shadowknight: I run 32 bit with my AMD 64
[01:14] <kahrytan> bazhang, lol Of course. It is the same Elyssa is based off 8.04 with better support for codecs and hardware. If people got problems with ubuntu, Mint is a good logical step.
[01:14] <Agent_bob> chmac i know how to search for packages    apt-caghe search "band width" | less     but that's about all.
[01:14] <SNESLink> although it's the earlier 754 chipset
[01:15] <bazhang> kahrytan, that is not supported here. Don't recommend it here.
[01:15] <chmac> Agent_bob: Cool, thanks, I've found a few options there. I'm looking for a recommendation really. :)
[01:15] <Agent_bob> chmac like i said,   that's all i can do for you on that.
[01:15] <chmac> Agent_bob: :)
[01:16] <ShadowKnight> SNESLink: I never said a 64 bit won't run 32 bit programs. It's just not considerably faster.
[01:16] <SNESLink> ah, sorry, I misunderstood you
[01:16] <Roey> Hi, why do I get this weird error when mounting my SD card??  http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/software/345276-unable-mount-removable-media-hal-storage-removable-mount.html    <-- is there a fix for this?
[01:16] <bazhang> !mint > kahrytan
[01:16] <Agent_bob> chmac i'll tell you a channel that normally has some network guru's hanging around in it.   ##linux   might ask there.
[01:16] <ShadowKnight> Kidfork: I highly suggest you consult someone you know in meatspace to help you pick parts and assemble it.

[01:17] <SNESLink> does anyone know of an ubuntu supported repository where I can download the 4.1 beta 2? of KDE?
[01:17] <Kidfork> Shadowknight: I built my own computer, im better internaly than virtualy
[01:18] <clop> hey guys, i'm on 7.04 feisty fawn right now, what's the command or program to use to upgrade to the latest?
[01:18] <kahrytan> SNESLink,  did you look in backports?
[01:18] <Agent_bob> !kde4 | SNESLink
[01:18] <ShadowKnight> Kidfork: then very carefully check the motherboard specs when you buy one and see if it supports your 64 bit processor of choice.
[01:19] <BoNe> eyeOS anyone?
[01:20] <SNESLink> clop: in terminal: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[01:20] <alinon> for some reason tasks are not showing up in AWN, and it won't let me add programs to it by dragging from the menu
[01:20] <alinon> any ideas?
[01:21] <clop> thanks guys
[01:21] <BoNe> Bizzeh, what is supposedly not free?
[01:21] <Agent_bob> Bizzeh all but the restricted crap
[01:21] <clop> wish me luck :)
[01:21] <SNESLink> clop: goodluck!
[01:21] <spoonman> Bizzeh: free as in beer, or free as in speech?
[01:21] <Agent_bob> oh and some of multiverse
[01:21] <Bizzeh> if ubuntu is totaly free, why are the name and logos trademarked and copyrighted.. this in its self is a restriction
[01:21] <BoNe> spoonman, beer aint free either :)
[01:21] <jpw27_> my computer has taken to shutting itself off.  it seems like it just loses power, but I can't diagnose the issue at all because sometimes I just reboot and everything's fine and sometimes I reboot and it shuts itself off before it hits GRUB.    how should i go about debugging this?
[01:21] <BoNe> Bizzeh, only the OS is free. The entity is protected
[01:21] <dabud>  hi i need some help getting xubuntu to recognize a hard drive
[01:21] <dabud>  it is listing it as a FAT   but I know it is an ntfs
[01:22] <alinon> anyone familiar with AWN?
[01:22] <Agent_bob> Bizzeh hehhe   :)
[01:22] <SNESLink> there are things such as open copyrights
[01:22] <Bizzeh> its still a copyright.. it still means someone owns the name and logos..
[01:22] <bazhang> !awn
[01:22] <ShadowKnight> jpw27_: check that your power button isn't damaged.
[01:22] <bazhang> alinon, see above
[01:22] <SNESLink> this keeps other companies from using their logo and pretending to be affiliated when they aren't really
[01:22] <alinon> bazhang, yeh..need some help with it ;)
[01:22] <Agent_bob> Bizzeh the GNU-GPL is a copyright too
[01:23] <BoNe> Bizzeh, the GPL logo is copyrighted, as well as the entity
[01:23] <spoonman> copyrights come in many flavors, bizzeh -- even man pages are copyrighted, but under GPL
[01:23] <recon69> ﻿jpw27_: check your cpu temp
[01:23] <danbhfive> Bizzeh: if you want something that free, you should look at debian.
[01:23] <BoNe> Agent_bob, we are thinking alike, thats bad
[01:23] <giacomo_carissim> ok, another question.  i've got my Logitech headphone/mic plugged in.  i switched everything to the usb audio, but i can only hear out of the right side.  i tried to adjust the levels but the left one stays all the way down all the time, how can i fix this?
[01:23] <euxidia> ﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a blank screen when i enable restricted drivers???????????????????????????????
[01:23] <Agent_bob> BoNe :)
[01:23] <bazhang> take the copyright chat to offtopic BoNe Agent_bob Bizzeh
[01:23] <BoNe> Agent_bob, only means we have to be right
[01:23] <BoNe> bazhang, n/p. I'm just trying to get eyeOS help
[01:24] <jpw27_> recon69:  that's what I was thinking, because after I let my box sit for a while it seems stable now.  but i wasn't working my computer very hard when it shuts off, and it just starting doing this all of a sudden, within the last few days
[01:24] <xtknight> jpw27_, you can look at past syslogs
[01:24] <giacomo_carissim> does anyone know anything about usb headphones?  and why both channels won't stay equal?
[01:25] <xtknight> jpw27_, the cpu and motherboadr may by hitting a poweroff threshold due to temperature overheat
[01:26] <spoonman> jpw27_, that sounds like a hardware issue, like a dying fan
[01:26] <recon69> jpw27_: your fan could be busted or clogged with dirt, is this an old machine, and the next time it shuts down , go into the bios and check the temp, if it's over 70 you got a heat problem
[01:26] <xtknight> 70C that is, of course
[01:26] <jpw27_> recon69: no, it's about 6-7 months old
[01:26] <xtknight> i would check the temperatures in the bios right about now
[01:26] <xtknight> just reboot and check it out
[01:26] <euxidia> ﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a black screen when i enable restricted drivers???????
[01:26] <PrimoTurbo> How would I use XFCE themes instead of GTK themes under gnome or say openbox?
[01:27] <xtknight> it should have something like PC Health section, if it is a new pc
[01:27] <recon69> ﻿jpw27_: still most likely cause of sudden computer shut down
[01:28]  * ace_suares is in da house
[01:28] <xtknight> if it's an oem you might not get those options, but if you got the board yourself it probably would.  but there are also programs that read a series of sensors on top of the CPU, like CoreTemp for windows or even the coretemp module for linux in conjunction with linux temperature programs
[01:28] <thiago> hi every one
[01:28] <xtknight> (lmsensors)
[01:28] <thiago> is anyone there?
[01:28] <ace_suares> !hi | thiago
[01:28] <ace_suares> !ask | thiago
[01:28] <recon69> lol, only about 1200 of us
[01:28] <pgreptom> Hi   I bought a new 19" widescreen monitor.. trying to use 1680 x 1050, but the highest it'll let me go is 1440x990.  It's 1080i compatible.. and I can go higher on other OS's.  Any ideas on how to do this?  I'm guessing my only way is editing xorg?
[01:29] <jpw27_> xtknight: i built the box myself, I'll look around for a temp program and see what it's at
[01:29] <gway9000> euxidia: happened to me last night i rebooted twice and it went away
[01:29] <thiago> hi! nice chatting with u guys
[01:29] <xtknight> pgreptom, do you know which 19" it is?  most 19" are 1440x900 only
[01:29] <xtknight> jpw27_, ok.  most intel core duo processors and AMD K8s have sensors onboard the cpu.  lmsensors should be able to read these
[01:29] <gway9000> euxidia: it went to 800x600
[01:29] <pgreptom> xtknight, I'm not sure.  When I play my PS3, it goes much much higher than 1440x900.. on Windows, it went to 1680x1050, and there was one option higher
[01:29] <xtknight> pgreptom, oh i see
[01:30] <giacomo_carissim> logitech headphone/mic, anyone know why the two channels won't stay consitent?  they stay together until i try and change the volume, at which point the left channel goes all the way down
[01:30] <spoonman> pgreptom, I don't know of any 19" monitors that can do 1920x1080
[01:30] <pgreptom> xtknight, It's 1080i compatible.. so when I play my PS3, it goes nuts.. I think it's.. yeah, as spoonman said.. 1920x1080
[01:30] <xtknight> some 19" monitors can do a "safemode" downscale of it
[01:30] <xtknight> but they do not have the physical pixels of 19201x200
[01:30] <xtknight> 1920x1200
[01:30] <Storrgie> anyone install nvidia-x-server settings?
[01:30] <gway9000> euxidia: when some smart person sees your ? you will be good to go
[01:30] <pgreptom> xtknight, I'm not sure.  Let me start my PS3, and I'll tell you.  give me a second :)
[01:30] <ace_suares> pgreptom: maybe http://www.simplehelp.net/mac/how-to-increase-the-screen-resolutions-available-to-ubuntu-while-running-in-parallels-for-os-x/
[01:31] <ace_suares> pgreptom: oh maybe not :-)
[01:31]  * gway9000 panders to see what the answer is
[01:31] <thiago> I'm having an issue with ubuntu 8.04, on the graphics. My card is a nforce 405, it shows everything correctly. But when I turn on the effects the graphical bugs starts
[01:31] <pgreptom> 1920x1080 @ 660z
[01:31] <xtknight> pgreptom, ya.  this is fine.  we just need to configure your ubuntu
[01:31] <pgreptom> spoonman,  and xtknight  - It just went to 1920x1080 at 60hz.
[01:31] <thiago> visual effects = none = ok
[01:31] <xtknight> pgreptom, first, what video adapter are you using?
[01:31] <xxen> hi
[01:31] <pgreptom> Video adapter?  video card is a nvidia 8500gt
[01:31] <spoonman> pgreptom, and stayed there? are you sure your monitor is 19"? :p
[01:31] <xtknight> pgreptom, have you installed the 'nvidia' proprietary driver for this card?
[01:31] <ace_suares> thiago: nforce ?
[01:32] <thiago> visual effects = normal or extra
[01:32] <xtknight> there's nothing wrong with a 19" showing 1920x1080
[01:32] <thiago> = bugs
[01:32] <xtknight> i know my 17" could
[01:32] <Soul_Sample> thiago: did you install the drivers for your graphic card? and nforce is a motherboard, not a graphic card
[01:32] <pgreptom> xtknight, Yes, it's installed.
[01:32] <pgreptom> spoonman,  lol, I'm pretty sure it's a 19" :P
[01:32] <xtknight> it doesn't have a tft array of 1920x1200 but can downscale
[01:32] <euxidia> ﻿﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a black screen when i enable restricted drivers???????
[01:32] <ShadowKnight> xtknight: 17" lcd or crt? Cuz for lcd that's amazing.
[01:32] <spoonman> downscaling is the same as operating at max res...
[01:32] <thiago> yes i know its a mb, but i'm using it's hardy Geforce 6100
[01:33] <xtknight> downscaling means it takes a signal higher than its native resolution, and converts it to the native resolution
[01:33] <Soul_Sample> thiago: did you install the drivers and enable them?
[01:33] <thiago> i've installed all the update, plus the nvidia drvier
[01:33] <pgreptom> so I can configure it to run 1900x1080, and 1680x1050?
[01:33] <spoonman> as far as the end user is concerned, their max res is still capped at the native res, with LCDs
[01:33] <xtknight> (most CRTs can't do this, as they were designed years ago and aren't generally being innovated any more)
[01:33] <thiago> yes've enabled them
[01:33] <Soul_Sample> thiago: and what kind of a bug do you get?
[01:33] <euxidia> ﻿﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a black screen when i enable restricted drivers???????
[01:33] <xtknight> if a PS3 can change the lcd to 1920x1200, so should a user be able to
[01:34] <ace_suares> thiago: I have a G70 (GeForce 7300 GT) and I had to enable Xgl to get it work. 'apt-get install Xgl'
[01:34] <xtknight> how, it depends.  sometimes the LCD wouldn't advertise that mode
[01:34] <ace_suares> thiago: sorry 'apt-get install xserver-xgl'.
[01:34] <giacomo_carissim> can someone help me with usb headphone trouble?  the left channel goes off if i try to change the volume
[01:34] <Soul_Sample> ace_suares: when i installed xgl i've lost direct rendering abilites, and games ran like crap
[01:34] <spoonman> xtknight, but it's not changing the resolution, the feed is merely being downscaled to the monitor's resolution
[01:34] <thiago> actually, the effects works, but the words of the window i'm using starts to disappear
[01:34] <thiago> so it's almost unusuable
[01:34] <xtknight> spoonman, ya it is not going to be convenient to use.  i'm honesly not sure why he'd want that for desktop use
[01:34] <nitai> any wasy  way to make a custom ubuntu cd that would include all my packages and my desktop setup meaning icon placements and so on ?
[01:34] <xtknight> but
[01:35] <ace_suares> Soul_Sample: yeah I can't play sauerbraten now but I have the compiz effects. If you know another solution it would be great :-)
[01:35] <xtknight> pgreptom, run "gksu nvidia-settings"
[01:35] <xtknight> the resolution might be available there
[01:35] <euxidia> ﻿﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a black screen when i enable restricted drivers???????
[01:35] <ShadowKnight> nitai: not if you have more than a few megabytes of data on your computer.
[01:35] <xtknight>  you may need to install nvidia-settings package first
[01:35] <Soul_Sample> ace_suares: well my deskopt effects work nicely on my nvidia drivers, so xgl is not needed for that. they just conflict with each other
[01:35] <jpw27_> lmsensors reports Core 0 at 48C and Core 1 at 51 C, I'll keep watching them.
[01:35] <ace_suares> thiago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/89741
[01:35] <xtknight> jpw27_, and that's at fairly idle right?  try a cpu stress program and see what it goes up to
[01:36] <ace_suares> Soul_Sample: but you dont have a 7300 GT ?
[01:36] <giacomo_carissim> euxidia: i was having a similar problem after trying to install the drivers from the website.  is this what you did?
[01:36] <xxen> I want to use nautilus to browse on a remote server via scp, but it uses sftp and if enter scp as protocol it says it can not handle scp, but i read, that it can
[01:36] <Soul_Sample> ace_suares: well, no :)
[01:36] <xtknight> 50C idle is not too optimal although far from serious.  you'd have to see what (100%)load is
[01:36] <pgreptom> xtknight,  I'd settle for 1680x1050.  Nvidia-settings list 1440x900 as the highest
[01:36] <euxidia> ﻿﻿have ﻿ati radeon 9550 pro but get a black screen when i enable restricted drivers???????
[01:36] <xxen> so what i have to do to use scp?
[01:36] <jpw27_> xtknight: yea, xchat, firefox, a terminal, and pidgin are all I have running
[01:36] <Storrgie> is there a way to run nvidia-x-server config as root, so it can modify the xconf file?
[01:36] <Soul_Sample> ace_suares: i have a 6600
[01:37] <ace_suares> xxen: http://sammoffatt.com.au/knowledge-base-mainmenu/6-daily-linux/9-scp-and-ssh
[01:37] <giacomo_carissim> Storrgie: can you not sudo it or su - or sudo bash?
[01:37] <recon69> ﻿﻿euxidia: have you tried to use the envy installer?
[01:37] <ace_suares> Soul_Sample: well it wouldnt work without Xgl so i did that. I know it's bad.
[01:37] <xtknight> pgreptom, ok.  i think the lcd is not giving nvidia-settings the resolutions, through EDID.  there are options to ignore edid.  look up UseEDID in the nvidia linux driver manual, but you'd have to make your own modelines in order to use 1680x1050.  this can be tricky
[01:37] <bazhang> euxidia, people are answering you. Please read what they say and stop repeating the same question so often.
[01:37] <thiago> thanks ace_suares, that's the bug
[01:38] <ace_suares> thiago: I hope it helps.
[01:38] <BlakStone> Hello friends.
[01:38] <pgreptom> xtknight, Thanks for your help.  Sounds like more trouble than it's worth for something I don't even know if I'll like.
[01:38] <giacomo_carissim> hello BlakStone
[01:38] <xtknight> pgreptom, i dont think 1680x1050 on a 19"w is too confortamble
[01:38] <ace_suares> !hi | BlakStone
[01:38] <xtknight> comfortable  *8
[01:39] <xtknight> if you want to use this i would consider a bigger monitor
[01:39] <jpw27_> xtknight: now it's up to 50/53 and I've introduced no extra stress to it
[01:39] <pgreptom> xtknight, I guess it's all what you're used to.  I run 1680x1050 on a computer at work.. it's a 20" widescreen, or maybe a 19" widescreen.  Not sure.
[01:39] <xtknight> pgreptom, probably a 20,21,or 22
[01:39] <lastelement0> hey all im trying to run CS:S under wine. and i have steam set up. yet when i try to start the game, Steam just crashes. no error message or anything. what do i do?
[01:39] <pgreptom> I guess the next 22" I see on slickdeals I'll input my credit card for ;)
[01:39] <ace_suares> pgreptom: that's what I *didn't* say when I met my wife :-)
[01:40] <nitai> anyone have any knowledge on "Ubuntu Customization Kit" and what there end product is like ... do you get an exact copy of your setup including desktop ?
[01:40] <xtknight> pgreptom, yup.. or i could help you in offtopic (i have an lcd site)
[01:40] <pgreptom> It's not worth that much trouble man.  thanks enough for your help.. you helped me more than necessary.  I greatly appreciatei t.
[01:40] <pgreptom> I just have to work on selling this 19", and my 17" lol
[01:40] <xtknight> thats cool im glad youre enjoying ubuntu either way
[01:41] <DIL> i lost some of my screensaver themes
[01:41] <pgreptom> I've been using it for awhile now.. just haven't played with x much.  Casual user I guess.. music, movies, and games
[01:41] <ace_suares> pgreptom: I have 3072 x 1024 !
[01:41] <BonezAU> Hi all, I use auto-login on my Ubuntu box and I want to know how to perminantly authorize the network manager applet so it does not ask me to put in the password every time I reboot?
[01:41] <pgreptom> ace_suares,  Impressive.  What size monitor?
[01:42] <lastelement0> ﻿hey all im trying to run CS:S under wine. and i have steam set up. yet when i try to start the game, Steam just crashes. no error message or anything. what do i do?
[01:42] <Storrgie> anyone familiar with nvidia X server Settings?
[01:42] <xtknight> Storrgie, ya
[01:42] <pgreptom> lastelement0, Does it let you get into a game?  Like, actually load a match?
[01:42]  * IndyGunFreak has 2560x1280
[01:42] <giacomo_carissim> lastelement0: if things haven't changed in the last year when i tried it, xp may be your best bet :\
[01:42] <xxen> ace_suares,  i don't see there nothing it tested already. if understand it correct, it says, i have to use scp://  but it still doesen't work. Nautilus cannot handle scp: locations.
[01:42] <ace_suares> pgreptom: 17" lcd, but three of them (the fourth broke down). On two Nvidia G70 with compiz enabled and cairo-dock :-)
[01:42] <xtknight> at one point i had 3840x1200, UT2004 ran great on a 7800gt card
[01:42] <pgreptom> I run CSS in Wine.
[01:42] <Storrgie> xtknight: you have private channel?
[01:42] <lastelement0> pgreptom: i can't even start it. i click CS:S and steam crashes
[01:43] <pgreptom> lastelement0, Try purging the 1.0, and installing an older evrsion.  1.0 has given me many problems, I have resorted to 0.9.60, and all is well again.
[01:43] <xtknight> Storrgie, nope i prefer to chat here
[01:43] <ace_suares> !wine | lastelement0
[01:43] <xtknight> so others can learn too
[01:43] <BonezAU> Hi all, I use auto-login on my Ubuntu box and I want to know how to perminantly authorize the network manager applet so it does not ask me to put in the password every time I reboot?
[01:43] <lastelement0> pgreptom: how do i go about that
[01:43] <Storrgie> xtknight: when I go to add another monitor, it says that it needs to modify the xconf file.... wont work. Assuming it needs to be ran with super user privs
[01:44] <pgreptom> lastelement0, Well, "sudo apt-get purge wine" will purge the current 1.0.  Then just google: "wine 0.9.60 deb" - it'll pop up a result for WINEHQ's old versions.. download the .deb, and install it, and re-load your games :)
[01:44] <ace_suares> BonezAU: I have no clue, but why does network manager applet ask your password ? for what ?
[01:44] <xtknight> Storrgie, right.  you can run the program with "gksu nvidia-settings" to get past this.  i think the way they have it setup in the menu now is annoying without automatic superuser
[01:44] <xtknight> escalation
[01:44] <BonezAU> ace_suares: it says "Enter password for default keyring" and it wont proceed to connect to the network until i've entered the password
[01:44] <pgreptom> lastelement0, if it works - you'll probably want to google how to ignore a new software version in Synaptics.. because it will bug the hell out of you to update to 1.0.
[01:44] <ace_suares> if i start nvidia-settings nothing happens :-(
[01:44] <Ryuho> hi i'm writing a really simple script and i don't understand why it's not working... ﻿http://pastebin.com/d1956b806
[01:44] <ace_suares> BonezAU: so you have some kind of authentication for your network ?
[01:45] <xtknight> ace_suares, install it.  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[01:45] <BonezAU> ace_suares: yes, WPA
[01:45] <spoonman> the easiest way to update to Wine 1.0 is to add its repository to sources.list
[01:45] <lsemple> anyone here know how to configure alsa ?
[01:45] <ace_suares> xtknight: cool I'll try that !
[01:46] <xtknight> ace_suares, but that program is only good if you have a card using the 'nvidia' driver
[01:46] <odinsbane> lastElement0 which version of wine did you get from the repositories?
[01:46] <ace_suares> xtknight: that's UNcool... it wasn't installed ! (but when doing alt-f2 it didn't complain it was not there !!!!!)
[01:46] <ace_suares> xtknight: I have two cards using the nvidia driver !
[01:46] <lastelement0> odinsbane its 1
[01:47] <ace_suares> BonezAU: well, auto-login means that you log in as the user to linux... but doesnt affect any other stuff...
[01:47] <RonLut> when I try to check for updates it says: 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
[01:47] <RonLut> What's the problem?
[01:47] <xtknight> ace_suares, gksu will eat any errors, so you won't see them
[01:47] <odinsbane> have you gone to #winehq?  I upgraded and it stopped working then I went and got a newer version.
[01:47] <ace_suares> BonezAU: you need to check if the WPA key can be stored and remembered somewhere, i don't know ...
[01:47] <phaedral> I've tried installing new themes, and I get a dialog saying I've succeeded, but the new theme never shows in the picker dialog of System>Preferences>Appearance
[01:47] <phaedral> :(
[01:47] <pucko-> Ryuho, so I guess nothing happens after the ftp command?
[01:47] <ace_suares> xtknight: bad! I porb tried without gksudo too. I'll test and bug launchpad ...
[01:48] <dede> so bored
[01:48] <BonezAU> ace_suares: the WPA key is saved in network manager, but I think the problem is that network manager needs permission before it can use it or something?
[01:48] <Ryuho> yeah
[01:48] <Ryuho> pucko-:  that is correct
[01:48] <BonezAU> ace_suares: the password for the default keyring is different to my WPA key
[01:48] <ShadowKnight> gtg cya all.
[01:48] <dede> yep
[01:48] <Storrgie> how do i restart xserver?
[01:48] <Ryuho> <<END_SCRIPT needeD?
[01:49] <lastelement0> pgreptom: i just did that. and it still closed
[01:49] <RonLut> no one knows the answer? :(
[01:49] <ace_suares> xtknight:  hmm syas i dont use nvidia in xorg :-)
[01:49] <pgreptom> lastelement0, Might want to check out #winehq, and their forums - perhaps even regression testing.
[01:49] <xxen> nobody knows why this "Couldn't display "scp://***@idefix.informatik.uni-kiel.de/". Nautilus cannot handle scp: locations." happens?
[01:49] <Storrgie> xtknight: how do i restart xserever?
[01:49] <bazhang> dede you have a support question or just wish to chat--> #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[01:49] <xtknight> ace_suares, nope, you're probably using the free driver instead of nvidia.com one
[01:49] <diecoz> ah
[01:49] <ace_suares> Storrgie: alt-ctrl-backspace
[01:49] <xtknight> Storrgie, you press ctrl+alt+backspace, keep in mind this kills your current session and all your data
[01:49] <recon69> ﻿xtknight: think the gksudo is used to avoid the gui messing up permissions on files.
[01:49] <Storrgie> hmm
[01:49] <xtknight> yup
[01:49] <odinsbane> Is there a way to set my ip with dhclient requests?
[01:49] <pgreptom> It's dinner time :)
[01:49] <xtknight> Storrgie, i mean not data
[01:50] <xtknight> Storrgie, but OPENED data
[01:50] <xtknight> like apps :)
[01:50] <Storrgie> xtknight: is it better to have the nvidia bin driver...
[01:50] <xtknight> if you dont save
[01:50] <Storrgie> xtknight: or to download from nvidia site
[01:50] <xtknight> Storrgie, unless you need 3d acceleration, i would say stick with the free driver
[01:50] <ace_suares> xtknight: well you were right before about installing the nvidia-settings, so I grep xorg.conf.
[01:50] <Storrgie> you know, System>Settings>hardware Driver
[01:50] <Storrgie> I need it, but i got it working with the one from hardware drivers
[01:50] <odinsbane> Its on when I do the upgrade it says wine is being held back and so are the new kernel
[01:50] <ace_suares> xtknight: 	Driver		"nvidia" (4x)
[01:50] <pucko-> Ryuho, i think you can fix it with lftp for example.
[01:50] <recon69> ﻿odinsbane: as far as i recall you can set that up in the hosts file.
[01:51] <xtknight> ace_suares, ah odd
[01:51] <pucko-> Ryuho, check the -c flag in lftp
[01:51] <egc> man, i love the 'bu
[01:51] <Ryuho> pucko-:  kay, thx
[01:51] <misfitofjoy> irc.rizon.net
[01:51] <odinsbane> recon69 I am not familiar with the hosts file.
[01:51] <xtknight> Storrgie, oh.  stick with the one from hardware drivers.  it's so much easier to deal with overall
[01:52] <xtknight> Storrgie, it's the same thing really
[01:52] <ace_suares> odinsbane: normally in network manager, but you can do it in /etc/network/interfaces too
[01:52] <sonicboom> holaaa
[01:52] <Storrgie> xtknight: thanks bud
[01:52] <Celanor> ﻿ I need help getting Skype to work on my 64bit installation, the i386 package from skype.com won't work on it
[01:52] <xtknight> Storrgie, just packaged by ubuntu for convenience
[01:52] <ace_suares> odinsbane: the hosts file is not the right one !
[01:52] <xtknight> no problem
[01:52] <xtknight> Celanor, add the Medibuntu repository.  it has skype for 64bit
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot > Celanor
[01:52] <xtknight> !medibuntu | Celanor
[01:53] <xtknight> most i386 apps can be run directly on 64-bit ubuntu
[01:53] <xtknight> as well
[01:53] <ace_suares> Celanor: you need to install the 32bit libs
[01:53] <odinsbane> It seems interfaces is when I want to do it automatically?  I still like to run dhclient.
[01:53] <Celanor> Thanks
[01:53] <LordOllie> anyone else ever have notification icons "stack", see paste. http://imagebin.ca/view/rbwKWra.html
[01:54] <Chauncellor> Hey, my fans are turning on way too late
[01:54] <ace_suares> Celanor: 'apt-get install ia32-libs'
[01:54] <Chauncellor> They turn on low when it hits 75 C
[01:54] <Chauncellor> How can I make them turn on at a lower temp?

[01:55] <LordOllie> spoonman, weird or just me?
[01:56] <Chauncellor> so does anyone know how to change the temperature value to trigger the fans?
[01:56] <spoonman> LordOllie, I'm not familiar with the triangular icon or the note icon, sorry

[01:57] <fg3> ubottu, I think you msged the wrong person
[01:57] <LordOllie> spoonman, the note icon is the same as the one to the left (banshee) and the triangle one (on top of it) is for retroshare
[01:57] <Kidfork> Anyone know where the next version of Ubuntu is coming out and what is it i.e(9.04, 9.10)?

[01:57] <unop> !ibex
[01:58] <fg3> Slart, you msged the wrong person
[01:58] <Flannel> Kidfork: every six months.  So, 8.10 is next, after that is 9.04 after that will be 9.10, tec.
[01:58] <ace_suares> fg3: but i seem to not be able to find the deamontools package in hardy. It's there for sure in debian...

[01:58] <Shaba2> Hello all
[01:59] <Slart> fg3: "is daemontools a package for ubuntu?".. daemontools is a windows application for mounting isos and such... or you meant something else?
[01:59] <fg3> ace_suares, so can I get using apt-get y/n?
[01:59] <Shaba2> How do I stop my xubuntu machine from going to the screen saver.
[01:59] <fg3> Slart, I meant a startup mgmt system for *nix
[01:59] <ace_suares> fg3: it used to be there, but you can for sure use the debain packages (with wget and dpkg -i)
[01:59] <Slart> fg3: ah.. nevermind then
[01:59] <Shaba2> Well actually its not a screen saver it just gets a fuzzy screen with like 10000 lines on it. but then I press a key and its back
[01:59] <Flannel> !bum | fg3
[02:00] <fg3> ace_suares, thanks
[02:00] <pucko-> Chauncellor, that's usually handled in bios. might not be so easy to do in linux.
[02:00] <xxen> now someone who can help me with "Couldn't display "scp://***@idefix.informatik.uni-kiel.de/". Nautilus cannot handle scp: locations."?
[02:00] <LordOllie> Chauncellor, it may or may not be possible depending on your hardware.

[02:00] <DIL> i lost some of my screensaver themes where do they reside on the system

[02:01] <LordOllie> spoonman, it isn't critical I just thought it was slightly odd.
[02:01] <Chauncellor> I can't find anywhere in my BIOS about temperatures
[02:01] <ace_suares> bbto: i think you need #openoffice

[02:02] <pucko-> Chauncellor, use lmsensors to read the temperature and then make acpi change settings perhaps?

[02:05] <marek`> bbto, 1) ace_suares was the one that told the bot to send that message to you, 2) you have typed the channel name in incorrectly

[02:09] <amenado> it does not do windows
[02:09] <EverettgM1819> so what is the difference of irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.net?
[02:09] <clintchance> Guys what do i do to make a modprobe stay with ubuntu after restart? as of right now i have to keep doing it
[02:09] <Flannel> EverettgM1819: The former points to the latter
[02:10] <EverettgM1819> ah
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> eldustino: are you using 64bit/
[02:10] <Shaba2> ace_suares are you here?
[02:10] <eldustino> no
[02:10] <ace_suares> Shaba2: yeah
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> eldustino: then why not just install java from the repos?
[02:10] <eldustino> Looks like I did, no?
[02:10] <EverettgM1819> how do i connect to irc.ubuntu.com?
[02:10] <eldustino> i = installed?
[02:11] <amenado> nope
[02:11] <Flannel> EverettgM1819: Even if you "connect" to it, you still connect to freenode, so don't worry too much about it
[02:11] <amenado> not installed
[02:12] <Chauncellor> Yeah, okay, whatever. Video card incompatibility, network card incompatibility.... okay
[02:12] <Chauncellor> I like it and all, but I really detest having to sit forever finding out why little things like disappearing icons or unresponsive programs happen
[02:12] <EverettgM1819> thanx that is all i needed
[02:12] <eldustino> $ aptitude search j2re

[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> Chauncellor: your experience is the minority
[02:12] <clintchance> Guys what do i do to make a modprobe stay with ubuntu after restart? as of right now i have to keep doing it
[02:13] <DaveKong> you can add it to startup?
[02:13] <Chauncellor> In some aspects, no, it's not. Agere and Lucent winmodem support is something that many people have been wanting for some time.
[02:13] <Kidfork> You know the aluminum sticker you get when you buy a Windows PC it says "Desighed for Windows" where can i get my hands on a Ubunt usticker like that?
[02:13] <spoonman> winmodems?
[02:13] <Chauncellor> I'm hoping when I finally get a desktop it'll work much better
[02:13] <clintchance> davekong how
[02:13] <spoonman> they're called winmodems for a reason, Chauncey
[02:14] <pucko-> Chauncellor, so it's a laptop?
[02:14] <clintchance> Who needs help with a winmodem
[02:14] <Chauncellor> Yep
[02:14] <bazhang> Kidfork, tons of sites have them for printing, you can print them to sticker iirc
[02:14] <eldustino> IndyGunFreak: Am I missing something obvious?
[02:14] <clintchance> chauncellor, whats the brand and board ver
[02:14] <pucko-> Chauncellor, most likely an acpi bug then. an bios update fixes it in some cases.

[02:17] <Chauncellor> So does Ubuntu run a lot better on Desktops? I'd be a happy camper if it did...
[02:18] <DaveKong> clintchance:  My understanding of modprobe is that it is used to install modules... so once you install one then it should be there... I don't know why you would want to run it at startup... if so you would have to sudo though since you do normally

[02:24] <asmo[B]> clintchance: plays videos in firefox or other browsers
[02:24] <pucko-> eldustino, /usr/bin/java is a symlink. it probably needs to be updated to the correct path with update-alternatives
[02:24] <Kidfork> for open office
[02:24] <Dunas2> bazhang: The problem is that this isn't me trying to boot kde4, this is me trying to boot ubuntu after installing then deleting KDE4.
[02:24] <kthakore> LordOllie, how do I approve a site to run an applet in firefox-3 because I can open this applet in opera
[02:25] <asmo[B]> the only download I could find for ms silver-light is a .exe
[02:25] <bazhang> Kidfork, you can make them yourself or download sample ones from internet
[02:25] <AcBush> I installed my drivers for nvidia on a new 8.04 install - now on boot, it shows "No Signal" - how do I fix?

[02:28] <Storrgi1> ﻿When i leave my laptop for a minute or two and come back.... it takes my keyboard and mouse a while to respond.....
[02:29] <zombiebox> what do the program imapd doing in unix?
[02:29] <pucko-> eldustino, ok, you have several versions there. you can change them with sudo update-alternatives --config java, but to have java functioning fully you probably need to update several links.
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> Hi
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone take a screenshot of the default font configuration in ubuntu?
[02:29] <eldustino> pucko: Thanks man!  I created a new symlink
[02:30] <cornell> Hi...  Got a new laptop...  with WinXP.  I want to install, dual boot, Gutsy.  During the install of Gutsy, there comes a time when you can resize the partition to create space for a new one.  Is that resize "intelligent", will the WinXP survive?  Or does it just change the partition table?
[02:30] <eldustino> pucko: I just did: $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java
[02:30] <pos69sum> i'm trying to upgrade to ubuntu 8 from dapper
[02:30] <AcBush> I installed my drivers for nvidia on a new 8.04 install - now on boot, it shows "No Signal" - how do I fix?
[02:30] <eldustino> pucko:  Think I'll be cool?
[02:30] <pos69sum> i am not seeing the upgrade option in update-manager
[02:31] <bazhang> cornell, the guided normally handles that fine.
[02:31] <genii> cornell: So long as the ntfs is marked clean by XP it will properly resize. So long as you don't make it smaller than how much data is on it right now.
[02:31] <pucko-> eldustino, it will work, but it's not really a good solution
[02:31] <Lounge> cornell: Yes winxp will survive
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> AcBush, try reconfiguring usplash, sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
[02:31] <pos69sum> i made sure dapper-updates was enabled
[02:31] <Storrgi1> ﻿When i leave my laptop for a minute or two and come back.... it takes my keyboard and mouse a while to respond..... is this a common issue?
[02:31] <AcBush> How do I get into Ubuntu? It goes to No Signal as soon as I choose Ubuntu or Windows XP Home..
[02:31] <pos69sum> any suggestions?
[02:31] <AcBush> Windows XP Works fine.
[02:31] <AcBush> Ubuntu, does not.
[02:31] <FAHTAW> how do you install nvidia drivers.   it told me to log out of the x system there is no way to boot to the shell
[02:32] <bazhang> Storrgi1, that is way too little info to give an answer on.
[02:32] <Drk_Guy> AcBush, try reconfiguring usplash, sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
[02:32] <zombiebox> one of the users at an old unix server I  use have lots of imapd runnig... is that considered normal....
[02:32] <AcBush> Drk_Guy: How do I get into terminal to run that command, if I can't even get to the Ubuntu Login Screen? Should I try to get in using Recovery Mode? I'm confused..
[02:32] <bazhang> zombiebox, how does this relate to ubuntu
[02:33] <Storrgi1> bazhang: its very weird, the information isnt lost... pushed into a buffer for sure, but I am curious as to why it takes a bit to read it all out
[02:33] <Storrgi1> it only occurs for about half a second when i come back to the machine
[02:33] <ice799> Hi - is there a reason why when you set the resolution for your screen in gnome that it doesn't set the resolution in xorg.conf? My other window managers do not use the same resolution as gnome and it is *really* annoying and stupid that it works like that.
[02:33] <q_a_z_steve> Drk_Guy:  can you help me with showing my screen from a laptop, on a projector? I have a hotkey which used to work Fn-F8... Now I can't get it at all, which is down from the other day when I had it outputting, but it was wavy with refresh rate issues.
[02:33] <cornell> Thanks bazhang, genii and Lounge...  Disk C: properties says 6 gig used, I assume that 15 gig would be a sufficient size for winXP, it's not the primary OS (disk is 40 gig in size)
[02:33] <bazhang> Storrgi1, does sound rather normal then
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> AcBush: Recovery mode is your best bet, and, while you there: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --plow
[02:33] <pucko-> eldustino, if you do ls -l /etc/alternatives|grep java  you see all the links java uses, a better way is to check them, and update them with update-alternatives if they are wrong
[02:33] <Storrgi1> bazhang: oh really?
[02:33] <shadedmist> am very confused about this website
[02:34] <shadedmist> can someone clear the light for me
[02:34] <zombiebox> bazhang: well not really...  more than the unix connection... but I guess it is too crowded here for gerneric unixquestions...
[02:34] <AcBush> Drk_Guy: Will do. Be back in a few...
[02:34] <Drk_Guy> q_a_z_steve: I've read it has something to do with Xrandr
[02:34] <bazhang> zombiebox, there is likely a unix channel here on freenode
[02:34] <q_a_z_steve> I have grandr installed
[02:34] <Drk_Guy> q_a_z_steve: Not so sure how to use it for that objective, though
[02:34] <bazhang> !irc | zombiebox check the last bit
[02:34] <Drk_Guy> q_a_z_steve: Great, Nvidia or ATi?
[02:35] <genii> cornell: If 6Gb used and you want to make it 15, also in XP make sure swap file size is less than the difference before resizing
[02:35] <q_a_z_steve> Drk_Guy: I can see where it should be, but I don't know how to use it, there are 5 positions in which I can place my default display... Nothing helps. Nvidia
[02:35] <dolphin_noel> ermm can someone tell to me why i dont have wireless in ubuntu whith same network and password ...  and in the other acountthat is admin i have wireless ... and i have wireless in the others acounts only if i run the admin acount first?!
[02:35] <zombiebox> ok
[02:35] <solexious> [Q] How can i let command line apps use there own colours? i.e. kismet rather than what i set as default
[02:35] <Lounge> Drk_Guy: I'd go for neither untill one of them goes open source - but thats just me
[02:35] <Drk_Guy> q_a_z_steve: Try using nvidia0s tool, it's under System -> Administration
[02:35] <cornell> If it's set for automatic sizing, is that ok, or should I just change it to ... say...  5 gig?
[02:36] <q_a_z_steve> System > Admin > What now?
[02:36] <Drk_Guy> Lounge: I dont care, i dont have "the RMS thingy" inside me
[02:36] <craigbass1976> I'm on a dapper box, getting ready to get up to at least feisty.  any advice?  I'm running update right now
[02:36] <Drk_Guy> q_a_z_steve: Look for some Nvidia tool, not sure of the name, my system is in spanish
[02:36] <eldustino> pucko:  Got it.  Thanks a million pucko
[02:37] <dolphin_noel> that why i hate this things on linux :x sometimes looks works anothers dont :x
[02:37] <Drk_Guy> craigbass1976: dont run anything else, it crapped an upgrade i did
[02:37] <dolphin_noel> dah :x
[02:37] <Lounge> Drk_Guy: then I guess nvidia since their restricted drivers seem to work better
[02:37] <Lounge> than ati
[02:37] <Drk_Guy> craigbass1976: And don't update if download fails
[02:37] <Drk_Guy> Lounge: ATi sucks in linux
[02:37] <Flannel> craigbass1976: yUo can upgrade (and should) straight from dapper to hardy.
[02:38] <Drk_Guy> Lounge: anyway, RMS must choose intel
[02:38] <Drk_Guy> XDDD
[02:38] <Flannel> craigbass1976: Edgy isn't supported anymore, and you can't get to Feisty except through edgy
[02:38] <Drk_Guy> No Flannel, it must be done in order
[02:38] <Lounge> ATI seems to want you to have their latest and greatest gpu(s) in order to have working drivers for linux :(
[02:38] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: You're right.  Dapper to Hardy
[02:39] <Drk_Guy> Flannel: As far as i've read, you CANT skip upgrades, Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy, Hardy
[02:39] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: If you don't go dapper to hardy, you have to go dapper -> edgy, feisty, and edgy is EOL
[02:39] <Drk_Guy> :)
[02:39] <ramukmar> hey folks, the update manager says there are no updates although there should be...which means I'm still stuck on FF3 b5 for now. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[02:39] <Flannel> Drk_Guy: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported.  Dapper -> Hardy
[02:39] <Drk_Guy> Ah!
[02:39] <Drk_Guy> :)
[02:39] <Drk_Guy> Then go ahead
[02:39] <xxen> im still having problems with scp under nautilus. I get "scp://***@idefix.informatik.uni-kiel.de/". Nautilus cannot handle scp: locations.". now i have read, if have to enter sftp, but the server doesnt support sftp
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Lounge it is in their best interest NOT to go back and rewrite drivers for older chipsets
[02:40] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone take a screenshot of the default font configuration in ubuntu?
[02:40] <jrib> Drk_Guy: just create a new user
[02:40] <Drk_Guy> Jack_Sparrow: Still, it's unfai with it's clients
[02:40] <Drk_Guy> Ok jrib, thanks
[02:40] <Drk_Guy> Can i take that info in a file directly into my account?
[02:41] <Drk_Guy> jrib
[02:41] <craigbass1976> Flannel, so, I'm up a creek?
[02:41] <dolphin_noel> that why i hate this things on linux :x sometimes looks works anothers dont :x
[02:41] <dolphin_noel> ermm can someone tell to me why i dont have wireless in ubuntu whith same network and password ...  and in the other acountthat is admin i have wireless ... and i have wireless in the others acounts only if i run the admin acount first?!
[02:41] <dolphin_noel> :\
[02:41] <jrib> Drk_Guy: not really.  You'd just have to delete your custom preferences so the defaults are used again (no I don't know where, but I'd guess somewhere in gconf)
[02:41] <Drk_Guy> jrib: Where are the fontconfig's stored?
[02:41] <Flannel> craigbass1976: What? No.  You want to go from Dapper to Hardy, which is supported (and I'll be doing it sometime in the next month)
[02:41] <Flannel> !upgrade | craigbass1976
[02:41] <Drk_Guy> lol jrib
[02:41] <dolphin_noel> this is cruisel :X
[02:42] <jedimind> can anyone help me figure out why i cant seem to play any movies w/ compiz enabled? it just simply closes the movie player every time i try - but if i disable compiz it works just fine
[02:42] <gronne> I get updates all the time from the repositories. Are people working on linux now more than ever?
[02:42] <xxen> dolphin_noel,  and some works very dirty :\
[02:42] <craigbass1976> Flannel, is hardy better than gutsy?  I had trouble with that...
[02:42] <dolphin_noel> xxen this is unbealiver
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> gronne: Weird, last update was like a week ago
[02:42] <ramukmar> And I'm not getting any updates, sigh. The update manager says there are no updates although there should be...which means I'm still stuck on FF3 b5 for now. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> gronne: (Major update)
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> gronne: Inlcuding kernel
[02:43] <LordOllie> ramukmar, are the correct repo's enabled?
[02:43] <Flannel> craigbass1976: Hardy is newer than gutsy.  And an LTS.  Newer isn't necessarily a good thing, although it's quickly approaching the stability of older releases from what Ive heard
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> gronne: Maybe you have too many repos, each repo publish it's own upgrades
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> lol Flannel, hardy's real stable
[02:43] <gronne> Drk_Guy: That aswell, but I primarily refered to development of software in general.
[02:43] <Shaba2> Guys
[02:43] <craigbass1976> Flannel, LTS ?
[02:43] <phaedral> no matter what I do I can't seem to get theme manager or emerald to see the themes I'm downloading; I'm running hardy
[02:44] <gronne> I do have too many rep's though... but I love my little updates too :)
[02:44] <clintchance> I have a script that has commands that need to be sudo but i dont want to have a password popup durring boot can i get arround that? (its being run at startup)
[02:44] <Shaba2> my version of xubuntu drops into a funny looking screen when I do not press a key for a while
[02:44] <Shaba2> its on a laptop

[02:44] <Shaba2> is that screen saver or power management
[02:44] <Drk_Guy> gronne: They pack-up so many stuff
[02:44] <Flannel> !LTS | craigbass1976
[02:44] <pucko-> clintchance, you can set it suid root

[02:44] <ramukmar> LordOllie: eek, I thought they were...wonder how it got unchecked
[02:44] <Shaba2> it looks like a bunch of lines
[02:44] <ramukmar> LordOllie: it was working fine till about a few weeks ago :/
[02:44] <clintchance> pucko- how
[02:44] <Flannel> craigbass1976: and as Drk_Guy just said, Hardy's real stable.
[02:44] <gronne> But I was generally curious, has the development on linux increased lately? Someone said they work on it harder nowadays? true?
[02:45] <timbomb> I am trying to install ubuntu via a USB. I have gotten it to the USB and everything, i am using the live USB. But when i go to install i get [Errno 5] Input/output error.

[02:50] <Flannel> craigbass1976: this is true indeed.  That wiki page has all the info you need for upgrading from Dapper to Hardy
[02:50] <indio> Hi.
[02:50] <jsquared> more specifically does Ubuntu have anyway to replicate Fedora's "Press 'I' for interactive startup" mode?
[02:50] <indio> Can anyone recommend me a pop3/imap server?
[02:51] <craigbass1976> Flannel, looks rather easy...  the last upgrade I did was from dapper to feisty.  This is a client's box that hasn't been online in a while; she refuses to get DSL and I haven't set up a modem for it yet.
[02:51] <craigbass1976> indio, dovecot
[02:51] <bbto> ﻿Hi, need some help with OObase. Any?
[02:51] <indio> Thanks.
[02:51] <crusher> is there a video editing program called "wine"
[02:51] <craigbass1976> indio, I just set it up on centos and it was pretty simple
[02:51] <crusher> if there is one how can I find it
[02:51] <Flannel> craigbass1976: You went straight from dapper to Feisty?  That mustve been "fun"
[02:51] <craigbass1976> bbto, what do you need?
[02:51] <craigbass1976> Flannel, as I remember, it wasn't too bad
[02:52] <craigbass1976> Flannel, but I had to stop at edgy on the way
[02:52] <Flannel> craigbass1976: Ah.  Not straight from dapper to feisty.  Good.  thats the proper method
[02:52] <bakersfieldboy> has enyone got the lx 3000 working on ubuntu ?
[02:52] <genii> crusher: There is not. So it would be difficult to find. Wine is the compatability layer to run some windows applications under linux.
[02:52] <caoqingshan> hardy can't restart on my laptop?
[02:52] <crusher> genii  thanks for clearing that up
[02:52] <craigbass1976> bbto, hello?
[02:53]  * craigbass1976 pokes bbto 
[02:53] <genii> crusher: np
[02:53] <Flannel> craigbass1976: Well, you'll need to first get Dapper up to date, and then that'll allow you to upgrade to Hardy.  You can do the hardy thing with an alternate CD, but dapper's updates... you might have to make yourself (see AptOnCD if you have another box that does have internets)
[02:53] <crusher> anyone know of a program called cinelerra
[02:53] <crusher> or something like that
[02:53] <caoqingshan> anyone can help me? Thanks
[02:53] <crusher> I am looking for a  video editing program
[02:53] <craigbass1976> Flannel, I think dappers update just finished
[02:53] <ddonky> i tried running it from a terminal here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/23229/
[02:53] <bbto> craig: have a list box from table B in Form A need to see (in a text box) the corresponding B record. how?
[02:54] <crusher> I have avidemux but that does not let me edit multiple videos and put them on 1 dvd
[02:55] <craigbass1976> bbto, ahh, sorry.  can't help you then.  I can hook it up to mysql, but then I write php stuff to update/manage the database afterward.  or bash.
[02:55] <Mecha25> is there a xubuntu channel?
[02:55] <craigbass1976> Mecha25, I imagine
[02:55] <Pici> Mecha25: #xubuntu
[02:55] <crusher> also anyone know of a editing program that will allow me to edit .mov files
[02:55] <killux> anyone know how I can get my one speaker to work? It turns off randomly
[02:55] <Mecha25> cool thanks.
[02:55] <bbto> thanks
[02:55] <bbto> ﻿Hi, need some help with OObase. Any?
[02:55] <craigbass1976> killux, it's not the physical hookup?  loose wire inside, smooshed wire somewhere along its length?
[02:56] <ShadowKnight> Hello all.
[02:56] <killux> craigbass1976: I don't think so, it works fine in windows
[02:57] <zdn> anyone with experience running cs 1.6 under WINE?
[02:57] <Pici> zdn: Try #winehq
[02:57] <wild_> hey how do you manualy install nvidia-glx-new ?
[02:57] <zdn> ty ty
[02:58] <Prose> anyone have an opinion on the best app to host a mail server?
[02:58] <crusher> anyone know where I can find a cinelerra download
[02:58] <craigbass1976> Prose, postfix
[02:59] <Prose> craigbass1976: thanks, it gives me a trail :)
[02:59] <|Juan|> im running compiz 0.7.4 under hardy, just upgraded to nvidia 173.14.05 and sometimes the window borders get glitched like this http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3076/pantallazotn6.jpg. any clues?
[02:59] <craigbass1976> Prose, and I may get shot, but I don't really like ubuntu for servers.  It's only personal though, I'm used to complete CLI in something like solaris or RH
[03:00] <spoon_man> but the server version of ubuntu is all CLI
[03:00] <spoon_man> I thought
[03:00] <tannji> I just installed Java plugin and the user agreement is in my terminal, I cant clear it, or accept it... what should I be doing?
[03:00] <Prose> craigbass1976: bah, I'm not advanced enough to work on solaris or even know what CLI means
[03:00] <craigbass1976> Prose, you need a pop3 server too. dovecot is what I used.  You have BIND setup already?
[03:01] <wild_> hey how do you manualy install nvidia-glx-new ?
[03:01] <Prose> craigbass1976: I've nothing setup, the only things server-like I got working is Samba and Appache
[03:02] <Prose> craigbass1976: so I may have to learn with the flow while configuring postfix
[03:02] <craigbass1976> Prose, is this behind a firewall?
[03:02] <perlsyntax> hi
[03:02] <Prose> craigbass1976: yeah but I will just forward through the router and arrange iptables properly
[03:02] <indio> Is there a standard package for pop3/imap server such as there is sendmail for smtp?
[03:02] <perlsyntax> i got ubunu but it take for ever to boot up on the cd that odd?
[03:03] <Prose> perlsyntax: on the LivecD?
[03:03] <craigbass1976> Prose, shoot me an email (craig@dorunwebservices.com) and I can help you along the way
[03:03] <perlsyntax> yes
[03:03] <Sylphid|mobile> indio, dovecot
[03:03] <indio> Thanks.
[03:03] <Prose> perlsyntax: yeah it's pretty normal for the livecd to takel onger than usual to boot
[03:03] <|Juan|> im running compiz 0.7.4 under hardy, just upgraded to nvidia 173.14.05 and sometimes the window borders get glitched like this http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3076/pantallazotn6.jpg. any clues?
[03:04] <Prose> perlsyntax: Ive seen it on every system I used the liveCD on (so I've seen it on like 10 systems, from weak to brand new)
[03:05] <perlsyntax> so that not odd then
[03:05] <phaedral> I still can't get emerald or system->preferences->appearance to admit I've got themes to install.  They simply aren't visible from the "install/browse" dialog, and drag and drop gets a "not a valid theme" message
[03:05] <phaedral> help?
[03:05] <perlsyntax> Prose, i thought it was my latop
[03:06] <craigbass1976> gotta go.  reboot
[03:06] <Prose> perlsyntax: happily, no
[03:06] <perlsyntax> i had no prob oon my desktop
[03:07] <spoon_man> phaedral, where are you downloading these themes from?
[03:07] <killux> if I compile alsa from source, will it automatically replace ubuntu's alsa built-in drivers and stuff
[03:07] <the7thmagus> I'm having trouble getting my mic to work in hardy heron. I enabled 'microphone' and 'capture' in Volume control (ALSA mixer), and I can hear mic input through the speakers directly. when I speak and have the 'vumeter' open I can see the bar move. but both Audacity and Sound Recorder give errors saying my input settings are wrong
[03:08] <Storrgi1> When i try to install from bootable disk i see "197.519901 ata5.01 revalidation failed (errno=-5)"

[03:09] <Prose> perlsyntax: according to wiki, acd read at  52x transfers stuff at around 7.8 MB/s so the livecd has to load all kinds of stuff in your ram at that slow speed
[03:10] <perlsyntax> fedora was not like this
[03:10] <Prose> afaik
[03:11] <Prose> perlsyntax: :maybe it was on a DVD ? (dvds go to 21MB/s)

[03:13] <unavailable> wild_ did you have problems with the proprietary drivers?
[03:13] <spoon_man> the7thmagus, is alsamixer set to your sound card? sometimes it's not if you have both onboard sound and a separate sound care

[03:13] <dru> hello .. please help .. there is an annoying beeping noise every 3 seconds comming from my speakers .. if i mute the speakers they stop .. wtf is it?
[03:14] <lanuser> wild_: download it from here http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[03:14] <unavailable> wild_ is that problem because you cant get the network drivers working?  or because you cant physically connect?
[03:14] <wild_> i cant physically connect
[03:14] <unavailable> do what lanuser said
[03:14] <ramukmar> dru: try muting pc speaker in the volume control?
[03:14] <Storrgi1> when i boot from live CD i get "BusyBox v1.1.3 Built-in Shell
[03:14] <Storrgi1> what should i do?
[03:14] <wild_> damn
[03:14] <wild_> witch one do i get
[03:14] <ramukmar> dru: every 3 secs is strange though
[03:15] <dru> ramukmar: what? i still want to hear ..
[03:15] <lanuser> wild_ you're connected now, get it from that computer and transfer it on a USB drive
[03:15] <perlsyntax> i got it install on my laptop now.
[03:15] <perlsyntax> :D
[03:15] <wild_> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.09.html
[03:15] <wild_> this one?
[03:15] <ramukmar> dru: the beeps usually come from the internal pc speaker...you should still hear music etc, even with that muted
[03:15] <unavailable> i would guess
[03:15] <lanuser> driller: I would imagine not
[03:15] <solexious> [Q] Any one knoe what I need to install and use a serial GSM Modem?
[03:16] <lastelement0> hey all. i just installed steam in wine and downloaded CS:S yet when i try to start CS:S. wine just crashes. what should i do?

[03:16] <WhoNeedszzz> Anyone here a vm guru? I'm trying to get wifi working in virtualbox.

[03:17] <Vinchenzo> ubuntu 32 bit or 64?
[03:17] <ramukmar> dru: not pcm...it should be "pc speaker"
[03:17] <spoon_man> I don't think wifi can be virtualized, WhoNeedszzz
[03:17] <dru> in the volume control .. all i see is master, pcm, front, frontling, front mic
[03:18] <ramukmar> dru: try changing the device if you can't find it
[03:18] <ramukmar> dru: file->change device
[03:18] <unavailable> storrgi1 try the alternate cd
[03:18] <WhoNeedszzz> spoon_man: i think it is possible by bridging the connection. i saw somewhere that you can do it by bridging. But i don't how to do that
[03:18] <|Juan|> im running compiz 0.7.4 under hardy, just upgraded to nvidia 173.14.05 with envyng and sometimes the window borders get glitched like this http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3076/pantallazotn6.jpg. any clues?
[03:18] <pwnedulongtime> anyone tell me the default third party repositories in Hardy?
[03:18] <lastelement0> ﻿hey all. i just installed steam in wine and downloaded CS:S yet when i try to start CS:S. wine just crashes. what should i do?
[03:18] <ramukmar> dru: or go to preferences and enable it
[03:18] <dru> ramukmar: nothing
[03:19] <pwnedulongtime> i accidentally deleted one
[03:19] <bazhang> pwnedulongtime, proposed or backports
[03:19] <jsquared> does Ubuntu have any capability for interactive boot mode, like Fedora's?
[03:19] <pwnedulongtime> on the rhird party software tab
[03:19] <bazhang> pwnedulongtime, unless you mean commercial ones (canonical partners)
[03:19] <unavailable> |juan| thats better than my glich, at least you have window borders
[03:19] <yoyone1> jsquared: like what
[03:19] <pwnedulongtime> got canonical partners
[03:19] <|Juan|> unavailable, no borders can be fixed
[03:19] <pwnedulongtime> there's one more
[03:19] <unavailable> i know
[03:20] <pwnedulongtime> the one i deleted
[03:20] <perlsyntax> not it just froze the install
[03:20] <crusher> anyone know how to open/install cinelerra
[03:20] <unavailable> but its annoying |juan|
[03:20] <WhoNeedszzz> |Juan|: yeah it is a bug in compiz, install fusion-icon and right click on it and go to reload window manager
[03:20] <dru> ramukmar: is there anyway to backup 2tb of stuff and switch back to windows?
[03:20] <jsquared> yoyone1: if you push "I" during a Fedora startup, you can basically push "y/n" to decide whether to load each service
[03:20] <jsquared> Windows has a similar feature
[03:20] <crusher> i have downloaded it but I cannot get it to install
[03:20] <|Juan|> WhoNeedszzz, that doesnt help
[03:20] <jsquared> alternatively, anything else that would let me pause the boot would be good too
[03:20] <WhoNeedszzz> |Juan|: you don't have fusion icon installed...
[03:20] <Ashfire908> I need help getting Apache to use php on .php pages.
[03:20] <bazhang> jsquared, fedora?
[03:20] <pwnedulongtime> anyone?
[03:21] <jsquared> bazhang: as in, Fedora Core? the distro?
[03:21] <|Juan|> WhoNeedszzz, i do. and i did that already.
[03:21] <unavailable> whoneedszzz or he doesnt have it on
[03:21] <WhoNeedszzz> |Juan|: oh nvm u do
[03:21] <yoyone1> jsquared: no, as far as I know  only redhat based distros do that, what are you trying to do
[03:21] <bazhang> jsquared, this is ubuntu support
[03:21] <Storrgi1> unavailable: what alternative CD?
[03:21] <WhoNeedszzz> |Juan|: ok go to select window manager and click compiz
[03:21] <arc_shmoo> it there a way to share folders over a network without making them visable to everyone else on the network?
[03:21] <pwnedulongtime> no one?
[03:21] <jsquared> bazhang: I understand that, obviously. I'm making a comparison for illustrative purposes
[03:21] <pwnedulongtime> please?
[03:21] <unavailable> storrgi1 when you go to download ubuntu, check the box under the download button
[03:21] <spoon_man> WhoNeedszzz, looks like your answer is in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[03:22] <jsquared> yoyone1: well, primarily, pause the boot process so that I can see what's going on
[03:22] <|Juan|> WhoNeedszzz, im on compiz, bugs there
[03:22] <unavailable> storrgi1 on this page http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

[03:22] <Storrgi1> unavailable: I dont know if i would be comfortable with a text based installed
[03:22] <Storrgi1> installer*
[03:23] <|Juan|> i did, it reloaded, didnt fix anything
[03:23] <yoyone1> jsquared: most people want to speed it up, and you are trying to slow it down
[03:23] <tbearden> hi all, any idea why ndiswraper won't work on a broadcom unless I load and unload ssb first?
[03:23] <tech0007> Storrgi1: then use the livecd
[03:23] <ericjung> would i find firefox 2.x in Add/Remove applications? I only see Firefox 3.

[03:27] <Milk_> I've made a disk image using dd as a last-ditch effort to rescue a drive with a failed partition file.  Unfortunatly, I have no idea how to access the date in the image file... can anyone help?
[03:28] <|Juan|> spoon_man, Fixed a regression causing some GeForce 6100/6150 systems to fail to restore the screen after DPMS cycles. -> update from driver i got
[03:28] <jsquared> yoyone1: don't see anything out of the ordinary, but that doesn't mean there isn't an issue I shouldn't address
[03:28] <jsquared> bazhang: quiet didn't seem to do anything. I already had splash off, so I can see boot messages. what does quiet do?
[03:28] <vrkhans> tech0007: I did install it that way but i test it in my browser(firefox)  it is still showing now jre installed
[03:28] <vrkhans> dont know what is missing
[03:28] <tma> i just installed hardy and it doesnt show my partitions on the desktop, how can i get 'em there?
[03:28] <bazhang> jsquared, what errors you getting/looking for
[03:29] <navetz_> can someone please tell me how to record audio input please?
[03:29] <bomber32> does anybody here know how to setup samba
[03:29] <unavailable> storrgi1 and the only difference between the live cd and the text based cd is the setup. once you get the os installed its all the same...
[03:29] <jsquared> bazhang: whatever one is triggering a "FAIL" in my boot sequence
[03:29] <Milk_> navetz_, from what source?
[03:29] <spoon_man> |Juan|, you may want to consider getting the latest drivers from nVidia, if both the EnvyNG and Ubuntu repo drivers are giving you trouble
[03:29] <jsquared> the rest of it completes fine. it's just scrolling by too fast to see
[03:29] <bazhang> bomber32, you read the documentation yet, or looking for a live walkthrough
[03:30] <Storrgi1> once im in the busybox screen
[03:30] <tech0007> bomber32: try #samba
[03:30] <poseidon> storrgi1, text based set up is still fairly easy.  You just have to type yes rather than clicking it ;)
[03:30] <navetz_> Milk_: microphone
[03:30] <crusher> tma you have to mount them if you cannot see them
[03:30] <Storrgi1> can i launch he Gui installer
[03:30] <jsquared> bazhang: so is it not possible to pause/step through a boot sequence then? how about just reading the boot logs?
[03:30] <Storrgi1> i dont think thats my issue
[03:30] <bazhang> poseidon, thought it was tab and enter :)
[03:30] <Storrgi1> i have a machine that has 6 drives in it, most of them used by windows
[03:31] <poseidon> bazhang, Havn't used the text based one for ubuntu, but it is like that for debian
[03:31] <Storrgi1> i want to install ubuntu to my raptor drive
[03:31] <Milk_> navetz_, try ecawave
[03:31] <Storrgi1> but i have windows on a partion on that drive
[03:31] <crusher> tma: I am using xubuntu on this system...so I go to applications>system>ntfs configuration tool
[03:31] <tma> crusher, is it different in hardy? i didnt have to do that when i installed gutsy
[03:31] <Storrgi1> the rest is raw
[03:31] <poseidon> debian actually has a gui installer now to though.
[03:31] <bazhang> poseidon, iirc the ubuntu one is ncurses based so tab and enter is default
[03:31] <tma> crusher, i dont see SYSTEM under applications
[03:31] <crusher> tma I did not have to do that in ubuntu either...but with xubuntu I had to do it
[03:32] <poseidon> bazhang, probably derived from debians.  I know that slackwares is commandline/ncurses based however.
[03:32] <Storrgi1> is it because I have windows on my primary drive?
[03:32] <crusher> tma: it may be under places>administration
[03:32] <Storrgi1> i thought i could dual boot
[03:32] <bazhang> poseidon, definitely from debian :)

[03:33] <arc_shmoo> can someone walk me through sshfs
[03:33] <Storrgi1> should I boot to windows and try the installer?

[03:34] <tma> crusher, i just noticed all my drives are under PLACES / REMOVABLE MEDIA
[03:34] <tma> crusher, they're just ntfs/fat partitions
[03:34] <bazhang> Storrgi1, what about reading some of the links given to you? there have been a ton
[03:34] <crusher> tma: weird...but at least you can see them!!!
[03:34] <tarelerulz> When I installed iplist . It will not run.  It says it can't find some files ,but It says installed fine .  The menu intree looks like this gksu -u root "/usr/sbin/ipblock -g" .  I installed the Ubuntu 7.04 version .  Anyone
[03:34] <tma> yup, any idea of how to get the icons back on the desktop?
[03:35] <unavailable> Storgi1 and that last one might give you a fix, or it may tell you to download the alternate cd
[03:35] <poseidon> Storrgi1, all you really need to know is what partitions you need to make.  Keep in mind that you don't need a /home partition (I don't use it), nor do you need a swap partition if you have a descent amount of ram.
[03:35] <ocha> what's the terminal command line for taking a screenshot of the desktop?
[03:35] <Jester45> tma run naultius  and if they dont so up then look in the preferances
[03:35] <crusher> tma  you want to be able to see each drive on the desktop....is that what you are after
[03:35] <bazhang> Storrgi1, honestly, if you wont read links and then try stuff that people advise, then live help is of no purpose-->you may wish to post on ubuntuforums in that case.
[03:35] <Kidfork> Is it possiable to get Windows Media Player in WINE?
[03:36] <tma> crusher, yes
[03:36] <bazhang> Kidfork, just get audacious
[03:36] <genii> Perish the thought
[03:36] <Jester45> Kidfork: i dont know why you would but you might be able to
[03:36] <Kidfork> Ok
[03:36] <spoon_man> Kidfork, you can do it with winetricks, but that's not exactly supported
[03:36] <Storrgi1> I willl try the alt CD
[03:36] <bazhang> Kidfork, it is a near identical clone but on linux
[03:36] <powertool|lappy> I have a bcm43xx card, is the fw-cutter method better, or the ndiswrapper?
[03:36] <Storrgi1> the only issue is that i want to have a weird drive strucutre
[03:37] <tma> Jester45, they are there
[03:37] <Storrgi1> i want to install the OS on my drive0, and the home on some other drive
[03:37] <crusher> tma if you can see each drive while in the file manager screen...you should just have to double click each drive

[03:37] <Storrgi1> i left both areas raw
[03:37] <solexious> [Q] Can you suggest a rss reader that i can use filters on and will auto download files found?
[03:37] <crusher> tma  this should put each drive on your desktop
[03:37] <powertool|lappy> bazhang: thanks
[03:37] <bazhang> np
[03:37] <Kidfork> bazhang: Im looking ataudacious its doesn't look identical at all
[03:37] <pc03> nyett
[03:37] <Jester45> Storrgi1: thats fine i have /home on 1 drive /var on 1 and / on a third
[03:37] <poseidon> Storrgi1, You really don't need the /home partition.
[03:37] <tma> crusher, u think they will be still there when i reboot?
[03:38] <PMantis> What's the lightest, tightest most secure web server daemon for serving static content?
[03:38] <crusher> tma as far as I know they should be there... mine were there
[03:38] <Jaredu> ok
[03:38] <Jaredu> prob;lem
[03:38] <genii> !info thttpd | PMantis
[03:38] <Jaredu> i need to reset my xorg completely
[03:38] <bazhang> Kidfork, to winamp?
[03:38] <tma> crusher, ok, thax
[03:38] <crusher> tma  if you cannot see them after a reboot just drag them to the desktop
[03:38] <Jester45> PMantis: lighttpd is good for static content
[03:38] <Kidfork> bazhang: audacious doesn't support SHOUTcast, does it?
[03:39] <Jaredu> im stuck at 1024x768 and i need 1366x768 but my stupid nvidia driver for my 8800 wont give it to me so i need to reboot xorg completely
[03:39] <tma> crusher, ok
[03:39] <crusher> tma dragging them there will ensure that they will be there after a reboot
[03:39] <spoon_man> !res | Jaredu
[03:39] <tarelerulz> I installed iplist a gui ipblocking program.  It will not run from the menu and when I run it in commamd line I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23232/

[03:39] <killux> hey, I am using serialmonkey's rt61 drivers for my wireless card and the connection will terminate randomly, and then I can't always get it up again, causing me to reboot. Does anyone have this problem?
[03:39] <PMantis> genii , Jester45: lighttpd thttpd ... what's lighter, more secure?
[03:39] <Storrgi1> one suggestion is to add the parameter 'all_generic_ide' Should i add that in the installer, by pushing F6?
[03:40] <solexious> [Q] Can you suggest a rss reader that i can use filters on and will auto download files found?
[03:40] <unavailable> who was lookin for wmp on wine??  http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=131
[03:40] <poseidon> Jaredu, it is probably not doing that for speed reasons (graphics cards like certain numbers so it can perform bitshifts to boost performance).  You can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually, however.

[03:41] <PMantis> Jester45: True. :)
[03:41] <bazhang> Storrgi1, try it
[03:41] <PMantis> Jester45: thansk
[03:41] <Storrgi1> hey unavailable I seem to have it working now by using the 'all_generic_ide' parameter on boot
[03:41] <PMantis> Jester45: Thanks, too
[03:41] <unavailable> Kidfork i use audacious for shoutcast all day
[03:41] <bazhang> Storrgi1, until you try you wont know
[03:41] <connor> ok im back
[03:41] <Jaredu> one sec
[03:41] <Storrgi1> bazhang: I think it might work
[03:41] <tma> crusher, just another question, i had a program here to open bzr2 files and install them automaticly after download. do u happen to know what program does that?
[03:42] <genii> PMantis: thttpd is lighter than lighttpd as for security you'd have to google or so
[03:42] <Storrgi1> bazhang: now we will see if it corrupts my fresh vista install
[03:42] <unavailable> storrgi1 kuul
[03:42] <bazhang> Storrgi1, back up first
[03:42] <unavailable> storrgi1 if you installed grub to the base hd boot part you may have
[03:42] <Jester45> tarelerulz: you need to install the awt toolkit
[03:42] <poseidon> Jaredu, It should be under screen or display devices (not on linux right now so I can't check, sorry)
[03:42] <crusher> tma I have no idea
[03:42] <genii> PMantis: thttpd can run chrooted which is pretty secure. The other I'm not overly familiar with
[03:42] <pc03> hgjk
[03:42] <spoon_man> storrgil, installing ubuntu will have zero effect on the integrity of your windows partition
[03:42] <tma> crusher, ok, thx
[03:42] <bazhang> pc03, dont
[03:42] <spoon_man> I can pretty much guarantee that
[03:43] <Jaredu> actually
[03:43] <Jaredu> i need to reinstall the nvidia driver again
[03:43] <tma> anyone could tell me which program to use to install bz2 files?
[03:43] <Jaredu> i used sudo -reconfigure xserver-xorg earlier
[03:43] <Kidfork> unavailable: can you talkj over-mic?
[03:43] <Jaredu> brb
[03:43] <PMantis> genii: thttpd has less dependancies, so I'm looking at that first.
[03:43] <Storrgi1> ok heres a question
[03:43] <unavailable> spoon_man storrgi1 although i did have a problem with grub wiping out the mbr
[03:43] <Storrgi1> 20BG enough for an install?
[03:43] <unavailable> kidfork i meant listening
[03:43] <PMantis> genii: I just didn't care for install Apache for a single HTML file and an exe download.
[03:43] <bazhang> Storrgi1, aye
[03:43] <Jester45> PMantis: i think lighttpd can also be chrooted and its highly modular so you can remove unwanted stuff to increase speed and security
[03:43] <genii> PMantis: I understand
[03:44] <spoon_man> GRUB writes to the MBR, I've never heard of it wiping one
[03:44] <spoon_man> I guess it could happen
[03:44] <solexious> [Q] Can you suggest a rss reader that i can use filters on and will auto download files found?
[03:44] <Jester45> Storrgi1: yes 20 is plently you could get away with under 8gb
[03:44] <poseidon> Jaredu, after you re-install your graphics driver you need to install mesa-utils then run glxinfo and see if derect rendering is labeled as yes.  (it will be in first few lines of output).  This will mean you have it installed succesfully.
[03:44] <max__> hey, I was having some problems playing some torrented audio files (non copyright of course) and my audio player didnt recognize them. do i have to do anything special?
[03:45] <SugarBoy> anyone here connect to the net wirelessly?
[03:45] <max__> i do
[03:45] <Jester45> max__: what format
[03:45] <max__> mp3
[03:45] <unavailable> spoon_man i meant selecting windows in grub getting a blinking cursor forever
[03:45] <SugarBoy> i have a problem running two wireless connections
[03:45] <poseidon> max__, google medibuntu
[03:45] <Storrgi1> I have 8GB... do i need a swap?
[03:45] <Storrgi1> 8gb of ram
[03:45] <SugarBoy> one internet another from an xbox that conenct to my tv for videos
[03:45] <tarelerulz> Jester45, do you know of any good ip block program that have a easy to understand gui ?
[03:45] <SugarBoy> they punt each other off..
[03:45] <SugarBoy> any advice?
[03:45] <poseidon> Storrgi1, no you don't need a swap partition
[03:45] <amenado> SugarBoy-> what is punt?
[03:45] <Jester45> Storrgi1: no you can add a swap file later but i have 3gb and never user over 2
[03:45] <Storrgi1> can i even install without a swap?
[03:45] <SugarBoy> they kick each other off
[03:45] <Jared1> ok back
[03:46] <Jared1> there is no resolution set in it
[03:46] <Jared1> i can set the panning but i dont see a res modifier
[03:46] <amenado> !who | SugarBoy
[03:46] <Jared1> im running it on an hdtv, Vizio 20"
[03:46] <spoon_man> unavailable, I've heard of that happening if you do some inadvisable things with wine, but that's pretty much all I've heard
[03:46] <Storrgi1> ok i can, sorry i was scared
[03:46] <max__> is medibuntu a seperate distro?
[03:46] <bomber32> question, when you installed samba does it automatically start on boot? how can i configure it to start on boot?
[03:46] <tech0007> !medibuntu | max__
[03:46] <poseidon> Storrgi1, You should be able to.  All you need is a / partition.  A /home partition will just back up your /home/ directory (ie music files etc) which you can manually back up do a cd or something (saves room)
[03:46] <SugarBoy> amenado, it kicks them both off.. it won't allow a conenction from both..
[03:46] <Jester45> !enter > Jared1
[03:47] <amenado> SugarBoy-> you have one AP? and two wireless clients?
[03:47] <SugarBoy> is it a script i'm needing?
[03:47] <Jared1> ?
[03:47] <SugarBoy> it connects fine when i boot up windows
[03:47] <SugarBoy> ap?
[03:47] <Jared1> !enter...?
[03:47] <amenado> !who | SugarBoy
[03:47] <genii> bomber32: The default behaviour after you install it is to start during boot, yes.
[03:47] <poseidon> Storrgi1, also make sure you choose primary partition.
[03:47] <Storrgi1> OK here is the important question
[03:47] <SugarBoy> amendo
[03:47] <Storrgi1> im in step 7
[03:47] <warcaptai2> my caps lock key sucks on ubuntu.  i tap the button and it lags before it actually takes effect and ends up making two letters in caps instead of just the one
[03:47] <Storrgi1> where do i install my boot loader?
[03:47] <warcaptai2> i type the same speed on windows and it doesnt do that, any ideas?
[03:47] <Storrgi1> hd0?
[03:47] <unavailable> storrgi1 i would check here.....  http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=885487
[03:47] <hocmin> Anyone here seasoned with partitioning schemes? (not just partitioning)  I just bought two 640gb drives and I'm trying to figure out some good partition schemes, maybe using LVM
[03:48] <amenado> Storrgi1-> either mbr or where you installed the /boot
[03:48] <poseidon> Storrgi1, it will ask you somewhere in the set up.  It will auto detect windows and set up everything for you. ;)
[03:48] <unavailable> storrgi1 i would check here.....  http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=885487
[03:48] <Jared1> hm..
[03:48] <SugarBoy> amendo is peron to person ok?
[03:48] <poseidon> Just make sure you make a primary root "/" partition then install.
[03:48] <unavailable> poseidon i had a problem with that
[03:48] <Jared1> how would i edit xorg.conf to allow me to display a custom resolution?
[03:48] <SugarBoy> amenado*
[03:48] <genii> Storrgi1: Normally, yes
[03:48] <poseidon> unavailable, with what?
[03:48] <Storrgi1> ok im just going to go for it

[03:48] <Prose> on the mail server topic: anyone have thoughts about Courrier Mail Server, Meldware Communication Suite or Zimbra ?
[03:48] <Storrgi1> i wasted a night
[03:48] <Storrgi1> and i might cry
[03:48] <Storrgi1> but i dont loose data

[03:48] <FloodBot3> Storrgi1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <unavailable> poseidon i would select windows xp in grub and i would get a blinking cursor forever
[03:49] <warcaptai2> anyone?
[03:49] <Jester45> hocmin: the alternative installer has greate lvm support and can guide you though it in minutes (the live cd might also have it but i dont use it so i dont know)
[03:49] <SugarBoy> gotcha, amenado
[03:49] <hocmin> Jester45: I'm more interested in advice, on what I want to do first
[03:49] <esac> is there a file that gets executed when the computer goes to sleep and when it wakes up so i can add custom stuff to it ?
[03:49] <unavailable> storrgi1 read that last link i send you
[03:49] <Jared1> warcaptai2: try reinstalling the keyboard layout?
[03:49] <poseidon> unavailable, never happened to me.  Grub must have not been set up to boot nt's main.
[03:49] <hocmin> Jester45, I'm sure the installer is great, but I'd like to have a plan of attack before starting
[03:49] <amenado> SugarBoy-> AP == access point
[03:49] <Jared1> esac you can modify sessions to make it resume what you had before easier
[03:49] <unavailable> storrgi1 and if you have a prob getting into windows, just remember fixmbr on the win cd
[03:50] <Storrgi1> unavailable: is that on the vista disk?
[03:50] <SugarBoy> so now my problem is it will connect to the xbox and the internet.. but not both at once.. when i run the xbox connection it tries to connect to the itnernet, amenado
[03:50] <unavailable> storrgi1 im not sure, should be
[03:50] <poseidon> storrgi1, hold up
[03:50] <poseidon> storrgi1, have you shrunk windows yet?
[03:50] <SugarBoy> yes one AP, amenado, a router
[03:50] <esac> Jared1, i need to pause virtualbox on computer sleep, and resume it on wake, sessions i dont think will work
[03:50] <hocmin> Jester45: Like, does it even make sense to use LVM if I'm only using one drive (I'm thinking about striping the two for better performance)
[03:50] <hocmin> Jester45: that kind of stuff
[03:50] <Duck1048> how can i change network settings to set a system up for manual IP address through the command line?
[03:50] <unavailable> poseidon this is his second install after getting busybox
[03:50] <Storrgi1> poseidon: I installed vista on a 50GB partion.... I have a 71GB raptor
[03:51] <Jared1> hmm... not sure man
[03:51] <Storrgi1> so there was RAW left over
[03:51] <Storrgi1> i installed / to that
[03:51] <warcaptai2> Jared1: xorg config?
[03:51] <Jared1> yeah
[03:51] <amenado> SugarBoy-> one client is an Xbox and the other client is a laptop?
[03:51] <Jared1> just do sudo -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:51] <poseidon> Storrgi1, ok.  The defualt partitioner for the installer doesn't always work well when shrinking windows.
[03:51] <unavailable> anyone know if linux will run on a playstation !?
[03:51] <genii> Duck1048: By adding an entry into /etc/network/interfaces      man interfaces           gives some examples
[03:51] <Jared1> and say no then reset default keyboard layout, that may work
[03:52] <unavailable> *1
[03:52] <poseidon> unavailable, it will
[03:52] <Jester45> hocmin: lvm isnt striping but lvm will allow you to join 2 or more drives and partition them (and expand partitions)
[03:52] <poseidon> unavailable, wikipedia it ;)
[03:52] <Jared1> unavailable: it runs on ps3 fine, you can go to #ubuntu-ps3 for more help, or i can help you on that respect :D

[03:54] <amenado> once*
[03:54] <poseidon> I saw a ps3 laptop once.  It was friggin sweet.  I wish I had one :(

[03:55] <Jared1> HAHAHAH
[03:55] <poseidon> unavailable, one to run minix :)
[03:55] <amenado> SugarBoy-> perhaps you can rephrase the issue, which client gets kicked off when you do what?
[03:55] <spideyman> unavailable, hell linux runs on an ipod too
[03:55] <unavailable> poseidon so if you can run minix on an nes, why not ps1?
[03:56] <SugarBoy> amenado, i'm trying to use the desktop as a bridge between the xbox and the ap. i can connect to one or the other, but not both at once

[03:57] <onthefence928> can someone explain to me the difference between emerald metacity and GTK?

[03:57] <Jared1> bbiab
[03:57] <Storrgi1> MMMMM DUAL BOOT WORKING
[03:57] <Storrgi1> i love  you guys
[03:57] <poseidon> unavailable, it's the simple problem of porting it to conform with the hardware.  ps1 doesn't have standard hardware.  Also the hackers who use/maintain it don't care about ps1's.  Also it's very lean, not many things to use it for.
[03:57] <Jared1> GTK = normal themes, emerald = compiz/beryl extras, metacity i have no clue
[03:57] <amenado> SugarBoy-> you are making it more complex than necessary, why not have both xbox and your desktop use the AP as a true router rather than briding through your desktop with two wifi cards?
[03:57] <solexious> [Q] Can you suggest a rss reader that i can use filters on and will auto download files found?
[03:57] <Jared1> i know emerald runs a lot slower than GTK, but looks prettier
[03:57] <Jester45> !repeat > solexious
[03:58] <Jester45> ... emerge replaces metacity
[03:58] <unavailable> [offtopic] the good old days  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Famicom.jpg
[03:58] <Jester45> both use gtk
[03:58] <poseidon> Storrgi1, lol, it's not hard is it?  When I started linux I tried about 6 different distros alongside windows in one day (installed then all so I could see how they would natively work on my hardware).
[03:58] <Storrgi1> well i guess i spoke too soon
[03:59] <Storrgi1> bar keeps bouncing left and right... no boot yet
[03:59] <unavailable> so can i get linux on my Sanyo S1?
[03:59] <amenado> SugarBoy-> also think of it as you are operating on left side at same frequency as the right side? wont work. have two separate channels
[03:59] <SugarBoy> amenado, the xbox is connected through a wire. i'm running xbmc on it, and had issues streaming movies wirelessly.

[03:59] <Jester45> SugarBoy: could it be wireless speed? signal interruptions
[04:00] <unavailable> storrgi1 hit ctrl+alt+f1
[04:00] <amenado> SugarBoy am guessing as to what your layout is, perhaps if you can draw it and then paste it so we all can see..pictures is worth a thousand words
[04:00] <Storrgi1> ok i have an error it seems
[04:00] <KFC> Anyone knows how to grep out two words in once?
[04:00] <unavailable> storrgi1 whats it say?
[04:01] <SugarBoy> amenado, how should i go about sending you a picture? should i send it dcc?
[04:01] <unavailable> kfc they next to each other
[04:01] <Jester45> onthefence928: emerald just makes fancy borders when used with compiz you get the special effects like a 3d cube and gtk is what gnome uses to display button/windows/check boxes/ just about everything in the gui      KDE (kubuntu) 's alternative to gtk is qt
[04:01] <Storrgi1> check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline

[04:02] <casdf2> hi; im wondering if there's some way to get a  glob of text copied in an xwindow into a python script
[04:02] <KFC> unavailable: For Example?
[04:02] <unavailable> like   "the ball has three sides"   and you want "has three" ?
[04:02] <Storrgi1> unavailable: did u see my post?
[04:02] <unavailable> yep
[04:02] <poseidon> casdf2, what do you mean into a python script.  You mean pass it as an argument?
[04:03] <dolphin_noel> ermm can someone tell to me why i dont have wireless in ubuntu whith same network and password ...  and in the other acountthat is admin i have wireless ... and i have wireless in the others acounts only if i run the admin acount first?! >>> well looks it is resolved after i move the ketring to one place rom bouths acounts and then put the same keyrings in the same place where they are beford starnge :x
[04:03] <tma> i'm finding "arch command not found" how do i install this command?
[04:03] <KFC> unavailable: grep "A, B"   right?
[04:03] <genii> KFC: grep "foo bar" filename
[04:03] <Storrgi1> unavailable: no suggestions?
[04:03] <unavailable> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2491450 post 8
[04:03] <casdf2> poseidon: well, preferably get this into one thats already running. i have a script that's running xautomation and copying some text, and i'd like to have the string go back into python
[04:04] <Jester45> unavailable: you would need to use something like egrep '(file.*testfile|testfile.*file)' file*
[04:04] <KFC> genii: okay, i will try this way.. thx.
[04:04] <casdf2> poseidon: i.e. a script that calls a method to go copy some text, and have it return this text
[04:04] <Jester45> if your searching lots of files
[04:04] <threede2> sigint: whats the matter with said panel
[04:05] <bthornton> I've got a Ubuntu system that is hanging while booting but I can't tell what's going on because of the progress bar. How can I see the boot/kernel messages?
[04:05] <draven> ubuntu will not mount any encrypted dvds. i have libdvdcss2 (medibuntu) libdvdread3 (ubuntu) and the restricted packages installed
[04:05] <unavailable> storrgi1 you get my link?
[04:05] <poseidon> casdf2, Well it a depends on how the text is rendered/attributed on the xwindow and if you can create a low-level function to handle it for you.  Try #python.
[04:05] <bthornton> is there a keystroke I need to press, or maybe a kernel argument I can pass with grub?
[04:05] <perlsyntax> i think i try 7.10 have alot of prob with 8.04
[04:05] <spoon_man> you know, it's funny -- one of the reasons I switched from windows was so that I wouldn't have to restart my computer every time a major security patch came through...
[04:06] <amenado> bthornton-> remove the quiet splash option on grub
[04:06] <Jester45> spoon_man: the only major ones you need to reboot for a kernels
[04:06] <punzada> yup
[04:06] <bthornton> amenado: thanks
[04:06] <unavailable> storrgi1 in hd1 replace the 1 with the drive,part (x,y) that you installed ubuntu on and use sd instead of hd so hda(0,1) ?
[04:06] <unavailable> storrgi1 *sda(0,1)
[04:06] <Storrgi1> unavailable: I am going to have to hit this up tomorrow
[04:06] <Flannel> spoon_man: you don't *need* to restart at any point, only to get the new kernels.  You won't ever get the "I'm restarting in 20 seconds whether you like it or not"
[04:06] <KFC> genii: This way is not works..
[04:06] <tma> i'm finding "arch command not found" how do i install this command?
[04:07] <Jester45> spoon_man: 1 reason why i dont use the update manager is that a few xorg says it needs to reboot... but it doesnt xorg is just a program that needs a restart not the whole system
[04:07] <genii> KFC: You looking for 2 words together or 2 words generally?
[04:07] <poseidon> tma, what are you doing to get this message?
[04:07] <Ryuho> ﻿is there anything on ubuntu that creates a fake webcam device that can stream a real webcam to multiple software?
[04:07] <KFC> genii: 2 words together,,
[04:07] <Jester45> tma: are you trying to run arch as a command
[04:08] <genii> KFC: Then yes, that does work.
[04:08] <spoon_man> Jester45, ah, that's a good point; I guess I failed to understand the distinction. The system prompt suggested that the whole thing needed a reboot
[04:08] <KFC> genii: So, how to ...
[04:08] <tma> poseidon, Jester45 i am trying to run secondlife and this is the error message it shows
[04:10] <Jester45> spoon_man: many of the updates say they need a reboot but many dont if it include kernels or kernel modules that cant be reloaded such as a module for your sata drive or fglrx  but other than that just restart X or the upgraded program and youll be ready to go
[04:10] <genii> KFC:  eg: http://rafb.net/p/Kj9L0A47.html
[04:10] <bzaks> Does anyone know a great program to search for Duplicate files within a directory structure? I did some googling and I found fdupes, but I figured most of you in here have probably had the same problem and I wanted to see what everyone like personally
[04:10] <poseidon> tma, if your running ./secondlife then it's the program that is getting some sort of runtime error.
[04:10] <Jared1> thats better :D
[04:10] <Jared1> 1600x1200 @ 10,000glxgears ftw
[04:10] <spoon_man> okay, thanks for the info Jester45 :)
[04:10] <arc_shmoo> how do i share everything in the home directory when I select share most of the files are shared but some of the hidden ones are still "permission denied"
[04:10] <tma> poseidon, yes, i am
[04:11] <Jester45> poseidon: if that is how its being run it looks like ./secondlife is just a shell script and it needs to be edited
[04:11] <poseidon> Jester45, I googled it and apparently it's an oline game
[04:12] <Jester45> spoon_man: my motto is "ill reboot when im good and ready"

[04:22] <Commie_Jebus> :(
[04:22] <Alex_G> I'm having a problem with my mouse thats becoming a huge problem. It keeps freaking out and clicking random buttons on the screen, causing programs to freeze and shut down.
[04:22] <Alex_G> any help?

[04:25] <IdleOne> airin_72, he is probably searching
[04:25] <IdleOne> give him a minute
[04:25] <IdleOne> or not
[04:25] <fowlduck> freakin hell, why won't it tell me what process firestarter runs...
[04:26] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, What do you mean? ( And please watch your language )
[04:27] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter#head-9e536c33404f0d19b7b26fef31ce6620477098aa
[04:27] <WcE> im trying to open this www.massivegroove.com/chatroom already installed the missing pluggins that firefox suggested installin also installed java missing files, but it doesnt seems to load and the stream isnt working (VLC) what can i do to fix this?
[04:27] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: it indicates there is some conflict without indicating what version, so I'd like to know what process it runs as so I can determine if it's running
[04:28] <poseidon> hvgotcodes, see if you can get the latest version of awesome from the unstable debian pdo, otherwise you need to build it from source to get the latest version ;)
[04:28] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: I don't get that error message though
[04:28] <Rezagrats> (OpenOffice Calc) i need to get a reading from a webpage, but i don't know how to do it. how do i do it ?
[04:29] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: it says it starts, but i can run start and stop any number of times and it tells me OK
[04:29] <poseidon> hvgotcodes,, -->  http://packages.debian.org/sid/awesome
[04:29] <IdleOne> WcE, works for me
[04:29] <WcE> what you running IdleOne?
[04:30] <IdleOne> WcE, how did you install java? using the .deb from synaptic?
[04:30] <IdleOne> 8.04
[04:30] <WcE> I just followed what synaptic suggested to install, some java file and a codec.
[04:30] <anthony1001> hello
[04:30] <poseidon> WcE, you didn't install the plugins via firefox did you?
[04:30] <Skipp_OSX> hello
[04:30] <Skipp_OSX> I am on Ubuntu, good distribution
[04:31] <anthony1001> ehh?
[04:31] <gooody> how can i enable usb audio device?
[04:31] <WcE> posiedon yes i did, it opened a synaptic mini windows and installed what it sayed was missing
[04:31] <airin_72> ubuntu can't see my USB wifi card...what can I do
[04:31] <anteaya> Skipp_OSX, glad to hear you are happy
[04:31] <IdleOne> WcE, install sun-java6-plugin
[04:32] <IdleOne> Skipp_OSX, welcome to Ubuntu
[04:32] <WcE> IdleOne, through synaptic right?
[04:32] <poseidon> WcE, did you install it from firefox (ie you clicked install from a firefox childnode window) or did you use the actual synaptic program?
[04:32] <IdleOne> WcE, yes
[04:32] <Skipp_OSX> I haven't used Linux as a desktop in a while and gosh it is much more advanced than it was
[04:32] <WcE> poseidon, from the childnode firefox provided-was linked to a mini synaptic window
[04:32] <airin_72> ubuntu can't see my usb wifi card..
[04:33] <WcE> Idleone, once java is fixed what should i do to make the streaming work?
[04:33] <IdleOne> !wifi | airin_72 take a look at the following
[04:33] <poseidon> WcE, try to run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin to see if it was installed correcctly with all the needed dependencies.
[04:33] <tarelerulz> Skipp_OSX , How is Linux more advanced as Desktop then it was before ?
[04:33] <Jordan_U> Skipp_OSX, Yes, there are still some rough edges but Linux gets better every year :)
[04:34] <airin_72> I checked that-it didn't help
[04:34] <Skipp_OSX> when I first installed 8.04 the wireless connection manager thingee didn't work but I think it must have been updated it because it autodetects networks fine now
[04:34] <Rezagrats> In OpenOffice Calc, i need to get certain data from a webpage. how do i do it ?
[04:34] <zhangy> can anyone can show me tutorial about how to write a window manager
[04:34] <poseidon> Jordan_U, it gets better every day :)
[04:34] <WcE> ok poseidon
[04:34] <Skipp_OSX> I mean, it worked, but it didn't autodetect wireless networks for whatever reason
[04:35] <swimnmaniac> can someone here help me with vsftpd?
[04:35] <swimnmaniac> in a PM
[04:35] <poseidon> WcE, does it say that its already installed or does it install?
[04:35] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: so, no ideas huh?
[04:35] <airin_72> !wifi I ALREADY LOOKED AT THIS...NO HELP
[04:36] <airin_72> !wifi I already saw these
[04:36] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, I am still not quite sure what you mean by what process it starts. Do you mean what version of Firestarter has the conflict?
[04:36] <tarelerulz> Well,  Ubuntu 8.04 worked out of the box . I mean my sound and all most all the basic features.  My wireless still need ndiswrapper and windows driver ,but both are free so that is ok.
[04:36] <swimnmaniac> anyone vsftpd help please???
[04:36] <airin_72> !wifi IdleOne this didn't help me
[04:36] <Skipp_OSX> well, it worked but it didn't autodetect the networks
[04:36] <CWii> swimnmaniac: chill dude
[04:37] <Skipp_OSX> well now it does anyway so good news
[04:37] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: even what version of ubuntu.  What I mean is I'd like to do ps -A and see if firestarter is running.  if it uses things already built into the system or whatever, it gives no indication
[04:37] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: so actually checking if it is running is not possible, and it's supposed to be running on boot
[04:37] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: being that it's a firewall, I don't want to chance it
[04:37] <Skipp_OSX> There is this online music service that you can type a song and it will play songs that are related it, does anyone know the name of that by chance?
[04:38] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, It's simply a front end for iptables
[04:38] <fowlduck> Skipp_OSX: pandora.com
[04:38] <fowlduck> Skipp_OSX: VERY awesome :)
[04:38] <Skipp_OSX> fowlduck: yeah I know of that one, but I was thinking of a different one
[04:38] <swimnmaniac> thanks
[04:38] <fowlduck> Skipp_OSX: oh, well, there's last.fm, i'm not sure if that does that too
[04:38] <Skipp_OSX> actually I am listening to Pandora.com right now, but I once listened to another one, it has an orange interface
[04:39] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: and that's just built-in, eh?
[04:39] <Skipp_OSX> oh well, it is not a big deal
[04:39] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, Yes
[04:39] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: sweet, thanks :)
[04:39] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, You may want to still check
[04:40] <Dezine> I installed xubuntu and kubuntu just for fun and got bored so I removed them.. now I can't login to a normal session, only a failsafe one. Not sure what happened
[04:40] <Jordan_U> fowlduck, If the iptables rules are being set with "sudo iptables -L"
[04:40] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: I'm trying some things now
[04:40] <Jester45> could someone with 32bit firefox3 and adobe flash try to play http://www.revver.com/video/923066/magnesium-and-the-attack-of-the-memes-slightly-mad-science/ and see if it crashes your brower, or any other revver video... a few have crashed mine but after starting ff it workes
[04:40] <Dezine> is there a way to reset the normal session so I don't have to chose failsafe?
[04:41] <Skipp_OSX> CIFS autodetection doesn't work right, but it never did, even on Windows
[04:42] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: tested the configuration of ICMP filtering when it was on.  now i'm restricting ICMP filtering, rebooting, and testing without opening firestarter
[04:42] <fowlduck> Jordan_U: should let me know if the configurations ticks
[04:42] <fowlduck> sticks*
[04:42] <Skipp_OSX> Jester45: I am playing that file using 32-bit FF3
[04:43] <Jester45> Skipp_OSX: running compiz?
[04:43] <WcE> can someone point me to the file i should install on synaptic in order to make java work in firefox
[04:43] <spoon_man> Jester45, I can play that file too
[04:43] <WcE> sun java6 ??
[04:43] <Jester45> either of  you using compiz
[04:43] <Jester45> sun-javaj6-bin
[04:43] <Skipp_OSX> Jester45: I don't think so
[04:43] <spoon_man> !java | WcE
[04:43] <nickolaus> the volume on my computer is alittle low and I can't figure out to turn it up. The master is maxed out.

[04:44] <Jason2gs> Hi everyone :) I just finished building my first PC, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu on it. But whenever I try to do anything with the LiveCD (after selecting one of the options. I've tried the Disk Checker and Start/Install Ubuntu.), I get the following error message: [xxx.xxxxxx] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[04:44] <Jester45> nickolaus: what about PCM volume
[04:44] <Jason2gs> Could someone help me on this?
[04:44] <nickolaus> jester45 what is the PCM?
[04:44] <WcE> thanks ubbotu
[04:44] <Jester45> Jason2gs: maybe let me finish reading
[04:44] <spoon_man> Jester45, I am using Compi
[04:44] <Skipp_OSX> Jester45: I am just using the default window manager
[04:44] <nickolaus> jester45 it is maxed as well.
[04:44] <Jester45> nickolaus: its a 2nd volume control
[04:44] <Flannel> Jason2gs: Thats a floppy drive error.  Try removing the floppy drive and seeing if you boot fine.
[04:44] <fowlduck> Jason2gs: doubt it will help, but fd0 is the floppy drive.  you might have something messed up on it
[04:44] <nickolaus> jester45 it is maxed as well.
[04:45] <Jason2gs> Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't being pushy. I was simply putting the question into two messages. I noticed I hadn't actually ended the first :p
[04:45] <Jason2gs> I have no floppy drive, though ^_^
[04:45] <linuxpwns> jason2gs: you said you finished building your first PC? was it difficult? i've always wanted to try building one
[04:45] <Jester45> Jason2gs: your floppy drive is messing up
[04:46] <Skipp_OSX> Jason2gs: you probably have to disable the floppy in the BIOS if you don't have a floppy drive
[04:46] <Jason2gs> linuxpwns, It was a little difficult. A few trials and errors, but I had friends helping me all along the way :)
[04:46] <Jason2gs> Skipp_OSX, Thanks, I'll try that :)
[04:46] <Skipp_OSX> by default the BIOS assumes that there is one there, and complains when it can't find it
[04:46] <Jordan_U> Jason2gs, Well there's your problem, every non-existant floppy drive I have seen has been buggy :)
[04:46] <Jason2gs> Jordan_U, Haha :D
[04:46] <Jester45> Jason2gs: try disabling the floppy drive in BIOS but that device is something with your floppy drive
[04:46] <linuxpwns> jason2g: where did you purchase the parts from?
[04:47] <Jester45> omg Skipp_OSX you beat me to it
[04:47] <Jason2gs> Thanks everyone :) I'll try that right now. This is, by far, the quickest and most thorough response I'ee ever gotten :)
[04:47] <Skipp_OSX> unfortunately BIOS was designed with certain 1978 assumptions that are not always relevant today
[04:47] <Jason2gs> linuxpwns, Tigerdirect at first, because the gift card I got from my parents for Christmas was for TD. After that it was Newegg.
[04:47] <Jester45> Jason2gs: well thats the postive thing about irc, the nagitive is me and sometimes no replys
[04:47] <nickolaus> the volume on my computer is alittle low and I can't figure out to turn it up. The master is maxed out and the PCM is maxed out.
[04:48] <haile> i'm trying to update clamav and it says i must be root to do so..... help anyone
[04:48] <Jester45> nickolaus: new speaker time :)
[04:48] <Rezagrats> Skipp_OSX. tell me. with what browser do you use to listen to Pandora with ? ( this is Pandora.com right ?)

[04:48] <SiegeX> is there a wiki/faq on Ubuntu's startup procedure? I'd like to know all the scripts it calls and in what order. It appears 8.04 does not have an /etc/inittab which is throwing me off

[04:49] <Jester45> !boot
[04:49] <Jordan_U> SiegeX, Ubuntu uses upstart
[04:49] <haile> ok i know sudo and when i use it... sudo freshclam it says steve@steve-desktop:~$ sudo freshclam
[04:49] <haile> ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).
[04:49] <Jason2gs> spoon_man, Are you referring to my comment about the IRC? The thing is, I also tend to get a very good response from this channel. Sometimes they take a few minutes longer than others, but they're always helpful.
[04:50] <repsol> When I start an app it comes in beneath the top bar in gnome. I always have to right click and move andybody know how I can fix this?
[04:50] <spoon_man> Jason2gs yep
[04:50] <AdrianStrays> Can someone direct me to the Windows IRC
[04:50] <SiegeX> Jordan_U: hmm, never heard, guess its time to start reading
[04:50] <spoon_man> AdrianStrays, Windows channel, or Windows-oriented IRC server?
[04:51] <genii> AdrianStrays: Unofficial channel here: ##windows

[04:52] <repsol> This channel is nuts
[04:52] <dmsuperman> So I'm trying to run a pandora screenlet...it says I need to install gtkmozembed. I've looked through the repos and installed a few promising looking packages, but those weren't it. Does anybody know what the package is called?
[04:52] <Skipp_OSX> but I am running a fairly standard Ubuntu 8.04 install, nothing outrageous
[04:53] <dmsuperman> repsol: You could use the Place Windows plugin in Compiz
[04:53] <Rezagrats> Skipp_OSX, what kind of connection ? in kb/s
[04:53] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: apt-cache search gtkmozembed
[04:53] <repsol> OK cool I was wondering what that was dmsuperman
[04:53] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: that should lead you the correct package name
[04:54] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: right, I looked and as I said installed promising-seeming packages but those weren't it
[04:54] <haile> can someone help a noob here plz... i've been working on this for 2 hours..... i cant update my clamav virus defs
[04:54] <dmsuperman> haile: why run AV?
[04:54] <haile> how can i run clam as root ?
[04:54] <Skipp_OSX> Rezagrats: uuuuum, I am running a wireless connection to a cable modem
[04:54] <Skipp_OSX> Rezagrats: does that help?
[04:54] <jose> super man
[04:54] <dmsuperman> haile: you can run anything as root by prepending "sudo" to it
[04:54] <jose> dime
[04:54] <Flannel> haile: Try #clamav they'll know more about it than we do.
[04:54] <haile> because i have some windows stuff that needs to be scaned
[04:54] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: : well, there goes the easy solution
[04:54] <Rezagrats> Not really. im still oblivious as to why Pandora does not load completely
[04:55] <nickolaus> the volume on my computer is alittle low and I can't figure out to turn it up. The master is maxed out and the PCM is maxed out. It's a brand new laptop and I can turn it up in widows.
[04:55] <cyphase> omg, is there some better way to remote desktop besides VNC?
[04:55] <haile> ohhh clams irc ok i'll try thanks
[04:55] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I know :( I'm imagining it's part of some other package
[04:55] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: which player?
[04:55] <dmsuperman> cyphase: VNC is fantastic, what problems do you have with it?
[04:55] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: can you give me a url this pandora app thingee
[04:55] <nickolaus> I'm playing a video on youtube.
[04:56] <Skipp_OSX> I'll do a bit of research
[04:56] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: clap clap
[04:56] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: are you sure it's not the video? I've known many videos on youtube to be very quiet
[04:56] <cyphase> dmsuperman: it's very slow sometimes
[04:56] <cyphase> a significant amount of times*
[04:56] <dmsuperman> cyphase: it's not VNC, it's the internet connection or the server
[04:56]  * [Hercules] sighs
[04:56] <cyphase> dmsuperman: well, sure
[04:56] <dmsuperman> cyphase: I'd say that's the case about 90% of the time
[04:56] <dmsuperman> cyphase: in which case nothing you use is gonna help
[04:56] <[Hercules]> i hate doing things for the first time because it makes me look like  an00b
[04:56] <dmsuperman> cyphase: why not just SSH? it takes far less bandwidth
[04:57] <dmsuperman> [Hercules]: trust me, nobody in here cares ;)
[04:57] <[Hercules]> but i think i may new some help
[04:57] <Skipp_OSX> I am playing a video on youtube as well, no problems
[04:57] <Skipp_OSX> I didn't do anything special to make it work
[04:57] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/PandoraScreenlet?content=79798
[04:57] <[Hercules]> does ubuntu have wifi support?
[04:57] <cyphase> dmsuperman: there are other remote desktop programs that are faster over the internet, and i need a graphical UI
[04:57] <dmsuperman> [Hercules]: ask away...but next time don't ask to ask; just ask the question
[04:57] <dmsuperman> [Hercules]: it does...though it may be a bit buggy at times depending on your chipset
[04:57] <linuxpwns> !metacity
[04:58] <spoon_man> !wifi | [Hercules]
[04:58] <dmsuperman> cyphase: no, if it's running slow it's the connection, not the program
[04:58] <cyphase> dmsuperman: i understand that over a 100Mbit ethernet line it runs pretty good
[04:58] <dmsuperman> cyphase: it takes a fair amount of bandwidth in most cases, so you need nothing else using your internet on the server if you're just running it over a simple cable or dsl connection
[04:58] <cyphase> dmsuperman: but i've seen other protocols work better over the same 2 connections
[04:58] <dmsuperman> cyphase: and even then that may not be enough
[04:59] <dmsuperman> cyphase: you've personally run other protocols over _your_ internet connection and they worked better?
[04:59] <genii> !freenx | cyphase
[04:59] <dmsuperman> cyphase: or was it over a _similar_ connection?
[04:59] <cyphase> dmsuperman: the _same_ connection
[04:59] <dmsuperman> cyphase: I'd look at the router next, is the port forwarded?
[05:00] <dmsuperman> I've honestly never heard of VNC being slow
[05:00] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX clap clap?
[05:00] <genii> cyphase: I find freenx about 3-4 times more responsive over internet than VNC or X forwarding
[05:00] <genii> dmsuperman: VNC can be a real dog, honestly
[05:00] <bEnuNtUX__> #ubuntu-es
[05:01] <cyphase> genii: i don't want to have to ask someone to set up freenx. as i understand it it's a bit difficult, expecially for a newbie
[05:01] <genii> cyphase: Then I'd suggest to get used to lag, or else forgo gui for ssh
[05:01] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX what do you mean?
[05:01] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: I was applauding your valiant ability to play a youtube video
[05:01] <cyphase> genii: that's not an option in this case
[05:02] <genii> cyphase: Why not?
[05:02]  * gidean sighs
[05:02] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX okay...
[05:02] <cyphase> genii: because i'm helping a newbie linux user, and i want to show them things on the GUI
[05:02] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: it's uncommon in hardy for youtube to work fine
[05:02] <gidean> I cannot for the life of me get sound working on my new laptop...
[05:03] <SNESLink> is there an easy way to remove KDE from my ubuntu install?
[05:03] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: or flash for that matter
[05:03] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: sorry, I guess my attempt at humor failed
[05:03] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: are you using a wubi install, by chance?
[05:03] <gidean> I believe I've tried every trick in the forums...
[05:03] <nickolaus> dmsupermam really?
[05:03] <genii> cyphase: Why can't you just run a livecd on the local machine he has there?
[05:03] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I am not quite sure how this screenlet is suppose to work
[05:03] <spoon_man> gidean, what sound card is it?
[05:03] <dmsuperman> SNESLink: Skipp_OSX have you heard of pandora?
[05:04] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: if I open the index.html page it does play though
[05:04] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX I didn't know that there was a flash issue with hardy.
[05:04] <cyphase> genii: huh?
[05:04] <SNESLink> yeah
[05:04] <cyphase> genii: how would that help?
[05:04] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: aaaaah I see
[05:04] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: as far as I know, it simply loads the index.html in a screenlet
[05:04] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: I am on Hardy
[05:04] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: so I can use pandora as a screenlet :D
[05:04] <nickolaus> dmsupermam what is wubi?
[05:04] <gidean>  Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
[05:04] <gooody> i have a usb speaker but can't produce sound. how can i make it work?
[05:04] <jose> hola
[05:04] <genii> cyphase: Because you can do anything on the livecd desktop that you can do on an installed system. Install apps, run compiz, whatever.
[05:05] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX same here.
[05:05] <gidean> Panasonic toughbook CF-51
[05:05] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: if you don't know you didn't use it, but basically it allows you to install ubuntu inside a windows partition
[05:05] <cyphase> genii: right.. i still don't see how that helps
[05:05] <DrAkOdE> hola
[05:05] <DrAkOdE> alguien me echa una manito con un proyecto... mas bien con su nombre
[05:05] <dmsuperman> cyphase: what are you doing that you can't do with SSH, if you don't mind me asking?
[05:05] <gidean> disabled the external amp, everything is set to ALSA..
[05:05] <nickolaus> dmsupermam ahhh... no. it's dual boot.
[05:06] <DrAkOdE> i'm this not the spain chanel
[05:06] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: that would have been my only suggestion...my friend installed it via wubi and his flash videos were really quiet
[05:06] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: well, I have to investigate a bit more because I don't think it is suppose to open in FF, I think that the screenlet should run on its own
[05:06] <spoon_man> gidean, have you tried the noacpi command?
[05:06] <dmsuperman> !es | DrAkOdE
[05:06] <Shaba2> Guys
[05:06] <genii> cyphase: "[00:02] <cyphase> genii: because i'm helping a newbie linux user, and i want to show them things on the GUI"    The livecd is certainly a graphical user interface, just not installed to the hard drive.
[05:06] <cyphase> dmsuperman: i'm helping a newbie linux user, and i want to show them things on the GUI
[05:06] <Shaba2> my version of xubuntu drops into a funny looking screen when I do not press a key for a while
[05:06] <Method2oo7> how can i uninstall java
[05:06] <nickolaus> dmsupermam well it's all of my sound though.
[05:06] <SrgSantos54> hello to all
[05:06] <Shaba2> Well actually its not a screen saver it just gets a fuzzy screen with like 10000 lines on it. but then I press a key and its back
[05:06] <cyphase> genii: i know what a live cd is :). they have ubuntu installed on the system
[05:06] <SrgSantos54> hey guys i have a question
[05:06] <Shaba2> it looks like a bunch of lines
[05:07] <Shaba2> is that screen saver or power management
[05:07] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: that's why it needs gtkmozembed...gtkmozembed allows you to embed the gecko engine into apps
[05:07] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: so it would embed the page into a screenlet
[05:07] <Skipp_OSX> nickolaus: silly question, have you updated your packages recently?
[05:07] <Shaba2> and how do I stop it from doing that
[05:07] <Shaba2> ?
[05:07] <gidean> nope whats that? "man noacpi" returns no such command...
[05:07] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: that makes sense
[05:07] <dmsuperman> nickolaus: oh, then I haven't got a clue :s
[05:07] <Method2oo7> how can i uninstall java
[05:07] <nickolaus> skipp_OSX yeah. yesterday
[05:07] <SrgSantos54> i am playing battlefield 2 on my ubuntu system and when i play online i get kicked due to lossing key packets how can i fix that
[05:07] <genii> cyphase: So you need to graphically go out to another linux box to show them something on a remote system graphically when they have linux installed locally? Seems somewhat absurd
[05:07] <gidean> Mi espanol no es muy bueno perro me gusta practicar
[05:08] <dmsuperman> !es | gidean
[05:08] <dmsuperman> oh, nevermind
[05:08] <dmsuperman> gidean: hush you :P
[05:08] <cyphase> genii: please explain how it's absurd. i don't see it..
[05:08] <[[thufir]]> after having upgraded to ubuntu 8,  I can no longer use alt-tab to iterate through windows...?
[05:08] <dmsuperman> cyphase: why can't you use your own desktop and direct them to follow your directions?
[05:09] <gidean> :)
[05:09] <dmsuperman> cyphase: via IRC, phone, or AIM
[05:09] <spoon_man> gidean, it's an option you add to the menu.lst file
[05:09] <dmsuperman> cyphase: people in this channel manage to do it allll the time
[05:09] <SrgSantos54> {{tufir}} go to system >pref> advanced setting
[05:09] <dmsuperman> cyphase: it's how a lot of support is given
[05:09] <Shaba2> Oh it is dmsuperman
[05:09] <dmsuperman> cyphase: see what SrgSantos54 just said... things like that
[05:09] <Shaba2> ever tried to connect to a dialup computer with vnc
[05:09] <gidean> hmmm... so  edit the menu.lst and reboot?
[05:09] <Shaba2> talk about ssslllooowww
[05:10] <Baatti1> I can't get my wlan device to connect.  But it is picking up wireless signals
[05:10] <dmsuperman> gidean: to make changes to menu.lst, yes
[05:10] <genii> cyphase: You want to show him how to use Amarok so you vnc out to some box with Amarok to show him when for instance, it could be sitting there on the box you are vnc-ing out of to another slower way. Etc
[05:10] <gidean> i'll take a look
[05:10] <gidean> brb
[05:10] <spoon_man> gidean, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:10] <dmsuperman> !wifi > Baatti1
[05:10] <SrgSantos54> hey guys i need help with my punkbuster where can i ask for help ?!?
[05:10] <Baatti1> heh
[05:10] <Veyron> Hey everyone. Need some support with Broadcom 4318 (ugh) wifi troubles
[05:10] <[[thufir]]> SrgSantos54: thanks
[05:11] <SrgSantos54> no problem
[05:11] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: if you're dropping packets it's a network issue...likely you have a bad connection between you and the server
[05:11] <Baatti1> listen, I've gone through a bunch of troubleshooting today, I just need a magic answer please
[05:11] <SrgSantos54> dmsuperman: how can i fix that ?!?
[05:11] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: choose another server, make sure ports are forwarded....power cycle your router and modem
[05:12] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: it's not something you just "fix" most of the time, like there's no setting to change
[05:12] <SrgSantos54> dmsuperman: how do i know what ports to open
[05:12] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: it's just how the internet works sometimes...you don't always have the best connection
[05:12] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: portforward.com has a great guide
[05:12] <spoon_man> gidean, then scroll down past the default options (everything with a pound sign) and you'll see what is basically your boot loader menu
[05:12] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: it's up to the game
[05:12] <SrgSantos54> dmsuperman : thanks
[05:12] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: no problem
[05:12] <Dezine> I installed xubuntu and kubuntu just for fun and got bored so I removed them.. now I can't login to a normal session, only a failsafe one. Not sure what happened
[05:12] <Baatti1> well, windows is working fine
[05:12] <Dezine> is there a way to reset the normal session so I don't have to chose failsafe?
[05:13] <cyphase> dmsuperman, genii: this person isn't a windows power user coming to linux. they're not the most computer savvy person. why do people ever ask technicians to come to their houses/take their computers to shops if they can be guided over the phone?
[05:13] <spoon_man> gidean, then add pci=noacpi to the end of the kernel line
[05:13] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: on the downside I haven't gotten the screenlet to work yet, on the bright side I am with you now
[05:14] <dmsuperman> cyphase: because the average person "feels better" if they see somebody else do it. many people are just fine operating via phone support (and that's how most support is given)
[05:14] <gidean> found that but I have 6 kernels...4generic 2 386
[05:14] <legend2440> Dezine: what happens if you choose normal session? are you using gnome now?
[05:14] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: sweet. All it needs is the gtkmozembed library installed, but I haven't got a clue which package it is :s
[05:15] <dmsuperman> cyphase: why not give it a try? or put up with vnc, or try to guide them through freenx
[05:15] <spoon_man> gidean, add it to the first kernel listed
[05:15] <dmsuperman> cyphase: i'm not sure the install process for freenx, but i'm sure if you had your user turn on SSH, give you a user, and open it up
[05:15] <genii> cyphase: What I'm saying is perhaps they have a windows box and no linux for instance. So you boot the livecd which has a fully working system on it which will not affect their system inay manner if they hate it. You install whatever you want to show them onto the livecd. It will run slow but not as slow as vnc-ing to some other remote box to do the same operation only on a box further away.
[05:15] <[TiZ]> Are there any FPS counter programs for linux, like FRAPS is for Windows? And NO, I do NOT care about capturing movies! I just want to see my FPS.
[05:15] <cyphase> dmsuperman: i've already tried guiding him over IM
[05:15] <dmsuperman> cyphase: you could SSH in, install freenx, then use freenx
[05:15] <nickrud> dmsuperman libxul0d provides gktmozembed
[05:16] <[TiZ]> I don't want to be told to enable the feature in every game I play, either (some games may not even have it). With FRAPS, I had a consistent FPS display for every game I played, without any tinkering. I want to have the same thing in Linux.
[05:16] <Dezine> legend2440, I am using gnome, when I chose a normal session it tries to load, nothing comes up and it just restarts to the login screen
[05:16] <dmsuperman> nickrud: any clue why my screenlet might think otherwise? I looked in the code (it's python) and the only thing it does in the try/catch is "import gtkmozembed" and it's throwing an exception at that
[05:17] <cyphase> dmsuperman: sure i could, i could do a lot of different things
[05:17] <REV_Willy_Crow> quit
[05:17] <dmsuperman> cyphase: well, we've given you all the suggestions we can. There's really no way to just make vnc magically run faster
[05:17] <gidean> ok...restart?
[05:17] <dmsuperman> cyphase: my solution to install SSH and setup freenx yourself is probably your best bet
[05:17] <nickrud> dmsuperman you need some python bindings, but all I see for that is mono and ruby bindings in the repos
[05:17] <cyphase> dmsuperman: i just commented that VNC was slow :)
[05:18] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: compiz has one...the Benchmark plugin
[05:18] <[TiZ]> Does it work in games?
[05:18] <spoon_man> gidean, yes, but keep in mind that this option you added will probably be automatically removed if you install a kernel update in the future
[05:18] <dmsuperman> nickrud: any clue where I might get those then?
[05:18] <gidean> ok brb
[05:18] <SrgSantos54> how do i open ports in ubuntu
[05:18] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: no clue, to be honest
[05:18] <[TiZ]> Oh yeah, there's a problem with that, though. I switch to metacity when I play games right now, because some of my panel items flicker onto the screen.
[05:18] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: which game?
[05:18] <[TiZ]> Grid Wars 2
[05:19] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: many games have built in FPS counters
[05:19] <[TiZ]> Well, and every other game, really.
[05:19] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: especially ones that run on linux
[05:19] <[TiZ]> No, I don't want to hear that.
[05:19] <SrgSantos54> does anyone know how to open ports ?!?
[05:19] <[TiZ]> I don't mean to be rude.
[05:19] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: that's what you were
[05:19] <[TiZ]> But with FRAPS, I had a frame rate counter for EVERY game.
[05:19] <nickrud> dmsuperman python-xpcom says it can embed gecko (which is the mozilla rendering engine, which is what gtkmozembed is about)
[05:19] <Skipp_OSX> SrgSantos54: like TCP/IP ports?
[05:19] <[TiZ]> I apologize.
[05:19] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: portforward.com has a great guide
[05:20] <SrgSantos54> yes am in that page but am wondering how to open them
[05:20] <dmsuperman> nickrud: I don't know python, so I wouldn't be sure how to rewrite teh screenlit to use another library...would I need to do that or just install python-xpcom ?
[05:20] <[TiZ]> I don't want to tinker with all my games just to get my FPS to show up. And some games may not even have FPS counters. That's what I liked about FRAPS. It showed a counter in every game. Is there no Linux equivalent?
[05:20] <dmsuperman> SrgSantos54: it tells you how. It asks you which model your router is, and also what game you're using
[05:20] <nickrud> try installing python-xpcom, if it works, you're good ;)
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> [TiZ] Chill, you say you dont want to be rude, but that is exactly what you are being
[05:21] <dmsuperman> nickrud: heh. i'll try that
[05:21] <[TiZ]> I just tried to apologize up there.
[05:21] <[TiZ]> But I'll do so again. I'm sorry.
[05:21] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: I think there is one, yes, but the name escapes me
[05:21] <dmsuperman> nickrud: didn't do it :(
[05:21] <dmsuperman> nickrud: oh well...it wasn't the most important screenlet in the world to me anyway
[05:22] <gidean> Spoon_man: no dice..
[05:22] <spoon_man> gidean, sorry to hear that
[05:22] <annie_g> Hi - Anyone recommend a good weather applet for Hardy Heron 8.04 ? ?
[05:22] <legend2440> Dezine: here are instructions for removing kubuntu and xubuntu. maybe something was missed in uninstall   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:22] <tyke> hey all, how do i install blowfish encryption for x-chat?
[05:22] <gidean> me too ;? /
[05:23] <gidean> :(
[05:23] <spoon_man> gidean, I assume you've tried OSS as well as ALSA?
[05:23] <dmsuperman> annie_g: you have screenlets installed?
[05:23] <gidean> yep
[05:23] <Dezine> legend2440, I've done that
[05:23] <dmsuperman> annie_g: gnome-look.org has some great weather screenlets
[05:23] <zeta07> hola..alguien habla español???
[05:23] <genii> !es | zeta07
[05:23] <dmsuperman> !es | zeta07
[05:23] <dmsuperman> whoops, too slow
[05:23] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: well, two problems I've found so far, #1 the author of this screenlet can't spell sure, nor does he know the difference between its and it's
[05:23] <WcE> i have to install a few pluggins for firefox, when i acces the website is says install missing pluggins, when i click over it it gives me the next options ( choose a pluggin for media type video/x-ms-asf) which gives me the next options (xine pluggin, media plugin, totem,vlc,mplayer) already tryed with the vlc pluggin with no success. and for the other missing pluggins it says (chosee a plugin for media type aplication/x-java-vm) where i can choos
[05:23] <WcE> e GCJ Web browser plugin or The GCJ WEB Browser plugin) what should i install or do to make this work, already installed the java runtime enviroment from synaptic. what im opening is www.massivegroove.com/chatroom
[05:23] <repsol> dmsuperman, that worked thanks dude
[05:23] <annie_g> dmsuperman: Will check out thx.
[05:24] <spoon_man> gidean, and you didn't bump a silder or dial on your machine that controls sound?
[05:24] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: the author didn't even write it, just copied somebody else's :P
[05:24] <zeta07> gracias ubottu
[05:24] <dmsuperman> repsol: i forget, what did I suggest?
[05:24] <dmsuperman> repsol: :P
[05:24] <repsol> Windows placement in compiz
[05:24] <dmsuperman> repsol: ah, yeah
[05:24] <dmsuperman> repsol: Window Rules is also another great one, for setting specific widths and heights for windows
[05:24] <repsol> I am not sure what half that stuff does yet
[05:25] <repsol> I am happy with wobbly windows and cubes
[05:25] <dmsuperman> repsol: and I made a suggestion about starting windows maximized...the devs seemed to like it so it might be added as well :)
[05:25] <dmsuperman> repsol: I prefer the Desktop Wall one, myself
[05:25] <legend2440> Dezine: have you checked  System>admin>login window >general  you can choose default session there.  not sure it will help though
[05:25] <dmsuperman> repsol: though with cube if you build 0.7.6 dev then you can get some really sweet looking plugins for it
[05:26] <dmsuperman> repsol: I've spent hours and hours just playing with compiz haha
[05:26] <repsol> Ya I will probably do the wall too but for now I am having fun with the cubes
[05:26] <repsol> lol
[05:26] <dmsuperman> annie_g: yup :)
[05:26] <c0mp13371331337> dmsuperman: The one thing I don't get about Window Rules is that it doesn't remember the location across reboots.  I set my buddy list to never move from its position on the far-right of my dual-monitor setup.  It always appears on reboot on the far-right of my left display, and because I had it set as an un-move-able window, I had to disable the plugin. :-P
[05:26] <nickrud> dmsuperman http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python-gtkmozembed , apparently not in ubuntu yet
[05:27] <[TiZ]> Okay, I guess a tool like that doesn't exist in linux. I do have another question, though.
[05:27] <dmsuperman> c0mp13371331337: that's under the Place Windows plugin
[05:27] <Dezine> legend2440, thanks, I'll try that
[05:27] <dmsuperman> c0mp13371331337: mine now starts in the exact same place every time
[05:27] <[TiZ]> When compiz is on, some of my panel items flicker on the screen. This behavior doesn't happen with Metacity. Can I fix this?
[05:27] <gidean> nope
[05:27] <remIx_> oh hai
[05:27] <dmsuperman> nickrud: not in ubuntu repos? or not possible to install for ubuntu?
[05:27] <gidean> all at full vol
[05:27] <remIx_> can someone help me with some firestarter issues with my ports not being opened correctly?
[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> [TiZ] /join #compiz to find tweeks that suit your hardware
[05:28] <c0mp13371331337> dmsuperman: Are you serious?  If I can get that working, oh man, that's one thing I can check off the list.
[05:28] <dmsuperman> [TiZ]: compiz issues usually have create support in #compiz
[05:28] <[TiZ]> Alright. I'll go ask them.
[05:28] <dmsuperman> great*
[05:28] <dmsuperman> c0mp13371331337: :D
[05:28] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I think I've solved this
[05:28] <dmsuperman> !ask | remIx_
[05:28] <Dhraakellian> Does anyone have a copy of linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic lying around on their harddrive?
[05:28] <zeta07> oye y como hago para pasarme a un chat en español???
[05:28] <Skipp_OSX> the package you need is python-gtkmozembed but it is not in the default ubuntu repositories
[05:28] <nickrud> dmsuperman actually it's been in debian since 2005 according to the changelog, but I don't know why it's not in ubuntu . The source package appears to be gnome-python-extras. You can check for reasons in launchpad, or try compiling the source from debian yourself
[05:29] <dmsuperman> nickrud: I'll give it a try
[05:29] <dmsuperman> !es | zeta07
[05:29] <Skipp_OSX> nickrud seems to have come to the same conclusion that I have
[05:29] <spoon_man> gidean, did you try enabling the external amplifier in the ALSA mixer?
[05:29] <nickrud> dmsuperman thanks for the problem, I like tracking down that crap ;)
[05:29] <remIx_> firestarter has issues with my ports not being opened correctly, certain ones it says are open are really open but a good chunk are closed when i test them, can anyone assist me?
[05:29] <Jcris> I notice since firefox updated, its not using up so much RAM, but it freezes up the whole system alot anyone hear of any fixes for that?
[05:29] <zeta07> pero como le hago???
[05:29] <dmsuperman> nickrud: haha, wierd
[05:29] <crdlb> dmsuperman: are you positive you have python-gnome2-extras installed? there are several similarly named packages
[05:30] <gidean> yep then disabling
[05:30] <repsol> prageeth, did it show up?
[05:30] <repsol> You can msg me if you want
[05:30] <dmsuperman> crdlb: yup
[05:30] <crdlb> dmsuperman: and yet it cannot find the 'gtkmozembed' module?
[05:30] <dmsuperman> Jcris: a lot of the extensions cause issues, as well as java, flash, and javascript
[05:31] <dmsuperman> Jcris: if you really want to use firefox, the best solution I've found so far is run with minimal extensions
[05:31] <zeta07> ya le haye .gracias
[05:31] <dmsuperman> crdlb: yeah. The line says "import gtkmozembed" inside a try/catch, and it always catches an exception
[05:31] <linuxpwns> i was trying to move a file to /usr/share/themes then got an error message 'Error moving file: Permission denied'
[05:31] <Jason2gs> Hi everyone :) I was on just a little bit ago concerning some errors I was getting while trying to load the Live CD. The fix was telling the BIOS that I had no floppy drive installed. Now I'm back, and I have a new problem: The Live CD loads fine, but after hitting "Start/Install Ubuntu", the snazzy little status bar/splash screen shows up. Then it dumps me into this BusyBox terminal: BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash) \ Ent
[05:31] <Jason2gs> er 'help' for a list of built-in commands. \ (initramfs) _
[05:32] <Jcris> dmsuperman: I already made sure of no extentions runing and I disabled flash and Java, it just randomly freezes, and locks up the whole system.
[05:32] <Jason2gs> <3 XChat :)
[05:32] <dmsuperman> Jcris: yeah, it still has issues :(
[05:32] <Dhraakellian> I need to (re)install that package so that linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-17-generic will stop being broken and uninstall so that I can actually do other package management
[05:32] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I am adding the debian unstable repository to my repository list, I'll see if I can install python-gtkmozembed
[05:32] <nickrud> crdlb isn't that a separate deb from python-gtkmozembed ?
[05:32] <Jcris> Ive even looked for a decent replacment for it
[05:32] <dmsuperman> linuxpwns: sudo mv ...
[05:32] <tc111> linuxpwns: use 'sudo mv...'
[05:32] <LaserLine> what channel can I go in to get help on filing a bug?
[05:32] <WcE> i have to install a few pluggins for firefox, when i acces the website is says install missing pluggins, when i click over it it gives me the next options ( choose a pluggin for media type video/x-ms-asf) which gives me the next options (xine pluggin, media plugin, totem,vlc,mplayer) already tryed with the vlc pluggin with no success. and for the other missing pluggins it says (chosee a plugin for media type aplication/x-java-vm) where i can choos
[05:32] <WcE>  e GCJ Web browser plugin or The GCJ WEB Browser plugin) what should i install or do to make this work, already installed the java runtime enviroment from synaptic. what im opening is www.massivegroove.com/chatroom
[05:32] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: awesome, thanks
[05:32] <nickrud> Skipp_OSX better choice would be compiling from debian source
[05:32] <linuxpwns> tc111 so that would be sudo mv /usr/share/themes?
[05:32] <crdlb> nickrud: packages.ubuntu.com has a gtkmozembed module in python-gnome2-extras
[05:33] <Skipp_OSX> nickrud: I'd rather not
[05:33] <dmsuperman> Jcris: irssi, but if you want gui then XChat is the best
[05:33] <dmsuperman> linuxpwns: yeah
[05:33] <linuxpwns> ok then
[05:33] <Skipp_OSX> BitchX
[05:33] <Skipp_OSX> =)
[05:33] <Skipp_OSX> seriously though, Xchat
[05:33] <tc111> linuxpwns: sudo mv "file|folder" "folder"
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Jason2gs To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--".. often if you wait out the fd0 error it will show twice, pause then fiunish loading
[05:34] <remIx_> So my Firestarter has issues with my ports not being opened correctly, certain ones it says are open are really open but a good chunk are closed when i test them, anyone else ran into this problem and/or have a fix for it?
[05:34] <LaserLine> I'm trying to file a bug, but I don't know the name of the package for About Me (under System > Preferences, About Me)... does anyone know?
[05:34] <gidean> thanks for the help!  I'll keep trying
[05:34] <spoon_man> remIx_, you might want to check the port settings on your router
[05:34] <dmsuperman> LaserLine: gnome-about-me
[05:34] <spoon_man> np, gidean
[05:34] <remIx_> spoon_man: i have no router
[05:35] <spoon_man> ah
[05:35] <remIx_> this is why im tripped out
[05:35] <Jason2gs> Just removed quiet and splash, let's see what happens...
[05:35] <remIx_> lol
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> remIx_ what are you trying to do that requires manaul port management
[05:35] <Jcris> is iceweasel just firwfox under a differnet name or is it in anyway "better" than firefox for ubuntu?
[05:35] <remIx_> Jack_Sparrow: on my PC i run mad things
[05:35] <remIx_> Jack_Sparrow: including a XMPP server, Apache, FTP, Torrents etc
[05:36] <Shaba2> hey Jack_Sparrow
[05:36] <Jason2gs> Still dumps me out at BusyBox. What exactly are we looking for?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> remIx_ as long as you have a reason.
[05:36] <remIx_> yeah of course :)
[05:36] <dmsuperman> Jcris: afaik it's just firefox with animation png support, though I could be wrong completely
[05:36] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: alright I got it running
[05:36] <LaserLine> dmsuperman: it's says "gnome-about-me" does not exist in Ubuntu.  Please chose a different package.
[05:36] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: the applet?
[05:36] <Skipp_OSX> yes
[05:37] <dmsuperman> LaserLine: which distroy?
[05:37] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: what'd you install?
[05:37] <linuxpwns> tc111: after  sudo mv /usr/share/themes i just hit spacebar then drag the file into the terminal.
[05:37] <remIx_> So far I've tried uninstalling firestarter (--purge) and rebuilding the rules, but it seems that it only remembers certain ones
[05:37] <LaserLine> dmsuperman:  I'm running Ubuntu 8.04
[05:37] <remIx_> I even flushed my iptables
[05:37] <Jcris> dmsuperman: okay, I guess Ill just wait it out and see if they straighten it out lil, thanks for ya answers.
[05:37] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
[05:38] <dmsuperman> LaserLine: go to System -> Preferences -> Main Menu, then on the left choose Preferences, then find the About Me, right click it, choose properties, and the command is underneath the "command" box
[05:38] <Skipp_OSX> then install the python-gtkmozembed package using your favorite package manager
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !debian
[05:39] <Skipp_OSX> ubottu: well, okay, spare me your philosophical moanings, it worked!
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Skipp_OSX Lose the attitude..
[05:39] <LaserLine> dssuperman: yeah that's the package name, so maybe I'm doing something wrong in launchpad because it's saying it can't find the package
[05:39] <Jason2gs> Jack_Sparrow, Just did both of those commands, and neither work.
[05:39] <Skipp_OSX> I cussed out a bot =)
[05:39] <nickrud> dmsuperman or, get it from http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/python-gtkmozembed/download (keep debian sources out of your sources.list, I used to have to clean up after people did that and got more than they expected)
[05:40] <Terinjokes> can i get wubi to install ubuntu studio?
[05:40] <wols_> !studio
[05:40] <Skipp_OSX> yeah I am going to take that out of my sources.list now
[05:40] <dmsuperman> nickrud: alright, will do
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Jason2gs Look in the supported hardware list to see what problems other people have had with your setup
[05:40] <Shaba2> does that require a fresh install of ubuntu?
[05:40] <abhi_> how can i make the ubuntu menu transparent?
[05:41] <Jason2gs> Where is the list located?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[05:41] <dmsuperman> nickrud: ah, joy. it conflicts with python-gnome2-extras
[05:41] <Jason2gs> Ty :)
[05:41] <dmsuperman> abhi_: right click it, properties
[05:41] <Skipp_OSX> I have run Debian before, and I really don't want anything to do with there packages, they put the unstable in "unstable"
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi_ right click menu then properties
[05:41] <dmsuperman> abhi_: right click somewhere that's not an icon, that is
[05:41] <nickrud> dmsuperman heh. Wonder what all Skipp_OSX got ;)
[05:41] <abhi_> that is for panel
[05:41] <dmsuperman> nickrud: heh.
[05:42] <abhi_> that is gnome-panel
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi_ if you men the pull down menu.. no
[05:42] <PradeepDebata> hi
[05:42] <PradeepDebata> gud morng
[05:42] <abhi_> yes pulldown menu
[05:42] <dmsuperman> abhi_: Jack_Sparrow I don't know where I changed the option, but I've set the drop down menus semi-transparent before
[05:42] <dmsuperman> Jack_Sparrow: it may have been in gconf-editor
[05:42] <Skipp_OSX>  libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common is what I got
[05:42] <TrogdorBurn> Q) I have a Dell 915GV-chipset desktop box.  I have a commodity 15" 1024x768 monitor in the basement that I use most of the time.  I have just hooked up the box to a 40" Sony Bravia XBR3 series LCD 1080p HDTV.  Ubuntu does not detect the monitor, and I'm currently typing on this great TV at a stretched 1024x768.  I'd like to be able to easily switch resolutions in order to move the box whenever I want.  What's the easiest way to
[05:42] <TrogdorBurn> do this?
[05:42] <dru> hey ... what program can i use to burn an avi file directly to a disc ... not convert it to an iso like the free programs linux has .. are there any pay programs that are compatable?
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> dmsuperman that is the only place it could be,,
[05:42] <nickrud> Skipp_OSX I ran unstable for years, never had to reinstall once on my main machine. Unstable in debian is often more stable than many other distros </soapbox></offtopic>
[05:42] <dmsuperman> nickrud: so any clue what the problem is?
[05:42] <abhi_> dmsuperman, : have u done it.
[05:43] <dmsuperman> abhi_: I have, but I have no clue what I changed it was a while ago
[05:43] <abhi_> ok
[05:43] <Skipp_OSX> nickrud: I broke my package manager using stable before
[05:43] <nickrud> dmsuperman for some reason python-gtkmozembed didn't get built in ubuntu.
[05:43] <dmsuperman> nickrud: any way to do that?
[05:43] <dmsuperman> nickrud: should I just build it from source?
[05:44] <Skipp_OSX> you new fango'd kids with your testing repositories, I remember when there was two repositores, stable and unstable and we liked it
[05:44] <Skipp_OSX> we'd upgrade from libc5 to glibc2 manually and we liked it!
[05:44] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I remember when there weren't repositories. You asked nicely if the guy next door would lend you his floppies
[05:44] <nickrud> dmsuperman you could get the source  apt-get source  python-gnome-extras , and look over the control file, see what's up
[05:44] <crdlb> dmsuperman: do you have /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2-extras/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtkmozembed.so ?
[05:44] <Dhraakellian> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic nothing
[05:44] <wols_> Skipp_OSX: do you have a ubuntu releated support question?
[05:44] <esac> i added kvm and kvm_intel to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and yet they are still getting loaded. any idea how i can stop these from being loaded for good ?
[05:44] <Skipp_OSX> wols_: yes, I do
[05:45] <wols_> !blacklist | esac
[05:45] <wols_> Skipp_OSX: which is?
[05:45] <crdlb> abhi_: what window manager are you using?
[05:45] <dmsuperman> crdlb: I do
[05:45] <wols_> esac: read it _all_
[05:45] <TrogdorBurn> I remember when we didn't have floppies, only magazines and handbooks - and you had to type in your code manually if you wanted to run ALICE
[05:45] <wols_> !OT
[05:45] <Dhraakellian> does anyone have a copy of that package lying around?
[05:45] <abhi_> crdlb, : gdm gnome
[05:46] <crdlb> dmsuperman: if you open a terminal and run: python -c 'import gtkmozembed'
[05:46] <crdlb> does it fail?
[05:46] <crdlb> abhi_: metacity or compiz?
[05:46]  * repsol uses compiz
[05:46] <dmsuperman> crdlb: ImportError: libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:46] <dmsuperman> crdlb: odd...it looks for libgtkembedmoz.so
[05:46] <crdlb> dmsuperman: ah, it _exists_ but it's just broken
[05:47] <abhi_> crdlb, : metacity and beryl
[05:47] <repsol> lol
[05:47] <crdlb> no, it found the file I mentioned, but that file tried to load that library
[05:47] <Shaba2> grrrr
[05:47] <dmsuperman> crdlb: oh
[05:47] <dmsuperman> crdlb: where's the next stop on the debug train?
[05:47] <repsol> dmsuperman, hey I am getting consistant apic errors in dmesg any ideas?
[05:47] <Skipp_OSX> wols: I am trying to get the pandora screenlet to work
[05:47] <dmsuperman> repsol: no clue :)
[05:47] <twentyafterfour> Strange problem with bash in guttsy...
[05:47] <repsol>  1977.456422] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
[05:47]  * Dhraakellian might end up having to do a reinstall
[05:47] <TrogdorBurn> Q) I have a Dell 915GV-chipset desktop box.  Normal monitor: 15" 1024x768 LCD, detected perfectly.  New monitor: 40" Sony Bravia XBR3 series LCD 1080p HDTV.  Autodetect fails.  I'm currently typing on this great TV at a stretched 1024x768.  I'd like to be able to easily switch resolutions in order to move the box whenever I want.  What's the easiest way to do this?
[05:47] <Shaba2> anyone know is there anyway except editing that file in /etc of stopping ubuntu from putting my laptop into suspend mode?
[05:47] <repsol> look familiar at all?
[05:47] <wols_> dmsuperman: install libxul-dev
[05:47] <dru> hey, how would i install an rpm file?
[05:47] <twentyafterfour> bash hangs (using 100% cpu) when running scripts that don't include the #!/bin/bash header
[05:48] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: what's wrong with editing files?
[05:48] <Skipp_OSX> my specific question is, how do I install python-gtkmozembed with officially supported ubuntu packages since apparently Debian ones are unclean
[05:48] <repsol> Shaba2, maybe the bios?
[05:48] <twentyafterfour> I couldn't find anything in launchpad
[05:48] <nickrud> dru you wouldn't
[05:48] <crdlb> dmsuperman: try libxul-dev
[05:48] <Shaba2> Well I am not at the laptop right now. Its across the room
[05:48] <dru> nickrud .. a tar.gz then?
[05:48] <Shaba2> and I cannot vnc into it
[05:48] <Skipp_OSX> crdlb: I already installed that package and it did not contain python-gtkmozembed
[05:48] <Shaba2> wish I could
[05:48] <PMantis> I just ran into an issue with a new server... can't ssh with a lowly user and a public key, but can with root. with debugging on client I see "debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 533", then "Connection closed". Huh?
[05:48] <crdlb> dmsuperman: there are several packages which provide that library (firefox, xulrunner, thunderbird, etc) but that's the only one that puts it directly in /usr/lib/
[05:48] <nickrud> dru depends on what's in it, what are you trying to install
[05:49]  * ace_suares bows to nickrud today :-)
[05:49] <dmsuperman> crdlb: well...now it doesn't complain about the dependency...it just starts then immediately dies...though Iguess that's more up to the screenlet author to support
[05:49] <esac> i installed ubuntu-xen-server and then removed it. it left my /initrd.img and /vmlinuz pointed to the xen versions. is there an easy(clean) way to fix or do i just remove the symlink and point to the right one ?
[05:49] <crdlb> Skipp_OSX: it doesn't contain python-gtkmozembed, it contains _gtkmozembed_
[05:49] <dru> a program called mandvd .. it only gave me a tar.gz file tho
[05:49] <twentyafterfour> anyone else noticed bash locking up in guttsy or am I alone?
[05:49] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: those things attached to your legs are feet
[05:49] <dru> well it gave me an rpm file, but inside of that was a tar.gz file
[05:49] <crdlb> abhi_: beryl? what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:49]  * repsol have not had any bash issues
[05:49] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: or, for the really lazy...install SSH on your desktop so next time you don't have to
[05:49] <Skipp_OSX> crdlb: okay.... so does that allow me to use gtkmozembed from within a python package?
[05:49] <nickrud> ace_suares heh. if crdlb's right about libxul-dev, was very close, but went down the wrong path. Never expected an .so file in a -dev ;)
[05:50] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: install libxul-dev, then try to run the screenlet
[05:50] <abhi_> crdlb, : 8.04
[05:50] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: does it die instantly for you?
[05:50] <ace_suares> nickrud: no there shouldnt be.
[05:50] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I did, and it did not work
[05:50] <crdlb> nickrud: gecko is crazy :)
[05:50] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: it worked for me :(
[05:50] <ace_suares> esac:: yes.
[05:50] <phantomcircuit> where is the dmesg on ubuntu?
[05:50] <repsol> dmesg
[05:50] <twentyafterfour> phantomcircuit: /var/log
[05:50] <Skipp_OSX> it did work after I install python-mozembed from the debian package world but I am not happy with that solution
[05:50] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I installed libxul-dev, and almost all of the other ones that "apt-cache search mozembed" resulted in
[05:51] <repsol> open a terminal and type dmesg
[05:51] <ace_suares> easc: i think you also need a System.map and some changes in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:51] <cannon> how can I make evince open cbr files?
[05:51] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: and that worked for you?
[05:51] <crdlb> abhi_: when you say "beryl", are you sure you're not actually using compiz?
[05:51] <dru> nickrud: what do you recommend for burning avi files to dvd? i would like something like xilisoft dvd creator for windows (i tryed in wine but the installer doesnt start)
[05:51] <repsol> or if you want to kdnow where the exe is type whereis dmesg
[05:51] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: kind of...it now doesn't complain about it but it'll open the screenlet and immediately close it again
[05:51] <ace_suares> esac: it's probably easier to remove and reinstall a specific kernel that you want.
[05:51] <EverettgM1819> why isnt my file transfer workin on pidgeon IM
[05:51] <Shaba2> I know its lazy
[05:51] <timbomb> I am trying to install ubuntu to a comp via live usb. My problem it when I try to install I get Errrno 5 input/output error. I have checked the forums and got nothing. Any suggestions?
[05:51] <abhi_> crdlb, : it must be beryl . it came a default in ubuntu 8.04
[05:51] <nickrud> dru I've never tried that, so don't have any opinions on the different apps
[05:51] <Shaba2> but I am in the middle of a programing session here on this windows box
[05:52] <crdlb> abhi_: that's compiz :)
[05:52] <Shaba2> and do nto want to get out of the zone
[05:52] <repsol> EverettgM1819, I hate this when people answer like this but I really like amsn
[05:52] <crdlb> abhi_: please join #compiz-fusion
[05:52] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: did you try installing python-gtkmozembed manually?
[05:52] <ace_suares> phantomcircuit: 'dmesg|less'
[05:52] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: no
[05:52] <Skipp_OSX> that is my next step
[05:52] <dru> what is a good program for burning avi files to dvd? does anyone know?
[05:52] <repsol> or dmesg | tail -f
[05:52] <ace_suares> abhi_: beryl is long gone. The default is compiz
[05:52] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: yet you have time to chat :P
[05:52] <crdlb> Skipp_OSX: python-gtkmozembed _is_ packaged by ubuntu, just in python-gnome2-extras
[05:52] <abhi_> crdlb, : is that compiz. but no cube there
[05:52] <ace_suares> !compiz | abhi_
[05:52] <EverettgM1819> well i tried the #pid... room and it didnt work so i had to ask, because it worked all the time before and now it doesnt
[05:52] <Skipp_OSX> is there a way to take a snapshot of your package repository so that you can revert incase you break the world?
[05:52] <cannon> how can I make evince open cbr files?
[05:52] <repsol> hehe get him dmsuperman
[05:53] <crdlb> abhi_: ubuntu doens't enable the cube by deefault
[05:53] <Skipp_OSX> crdlb: thank you
[05:53] <jack-desktop> i added new compiz repos to my sources.list, if i remove them will it downgrade compiz for me?
[05:53] <Omlette> cannon: open the cbr file with an archive program.
[05:53] <abhi_> crdlb, : ohh. where is all settings.
[05:53] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I have a backup script that does a backup of my entire filesystem, just in case
[05:53] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I also have over 1.5TB of storage, so...
[05:53] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I was hoping for something a bit higher up on the chain than that =)
[05:53] <crdlb> !ccsm | abhi_
[05:53] <cannon> Omlette, I know that, I want evince to open it.
[05:54] <ace_suares> Skipp_OSX:   I think '
[05:54] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I enjoy it because I have a full snapshot of my entire desktop
[05:54] <abhi_> ubottu, : ok
[05:54] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: and my /home dir is on another partition, so all I have to do is restore it
[05:54] <ace_suares> Skipp_OSX: I think 'dpkg --get-settings'
[05:54] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: and I'm working again :D
[05:54] <timbomb> ﻿I am trying to install ubuntu to a comp via live usb. My problem it when I try to install I get Errrno 5 input/output error. I have checked the forums and got nothing. Any suggestions?
[05:54] <abhi_> crdlb, : does compiz allow to make menu transparent
[05:54] <crdlb> abhi_: it does
[05:55] <abhi_> crdlb, : do u know what is that setting
[05:55] <EverettgM1819> Does anyone know if the file tranfer problem is a bug in pidgeonIM
[05:55] <crdlb> abhi_: but please join #compiz-fusion since this is a compiz issue
[05:55] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: you mean --get-selections? and even then, that's not what he wants
[05:55] <abhi_> crdlb, : ok
[05:55] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: yeah that's what I ment.
[05:55] <abhi_> ok guys thanks for help
[05:55] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: what does he want then ?
[05:55] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: to backup every package he has installed
[05:56] <Shaba2> Mirc is minimized most of the time
[05:56] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: huh !?
[05:56] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: so if he trashes something he'll be alright
[05:56] <brent113> Hey, does anyone know a channel about bash scripting?
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> #bash
[05:56] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: i do rsync all the time
[05:56] <dmsuperman> hahaha
[05:56] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: I just tar my /
[05:56] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: but he doesn't want to do that :P
[05:56] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: but just a remove and install is sufficient it keeps all the config files
[05:56] <LaserLine> dmsuperman:  I went to #ubuntu-bugs and they said that gnome-about-me is part of gnome-control-center... they said you can do a  dpkg -S $(/bin/which gnome-about-me) and that will tell you watch package it's under... just thought I'd let you know
[05:56] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: I don't think what he wants is even possible
[05:56] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: and backup /etc !
[05:56] <dmsuperman> LaserLine: awesome, thanks :D
[05:56] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: well, / recursively
[05:57] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: he can backup /var/cache/apt/archives !?
[05:57] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: excluding /proc, /media/ /home, etc
[05:57] <Ademan> does anyone know of software in the repositories for creating database schemas?
[05:57] <TrogdorBurn> Q) I have a Dell 915GV chipset desktop 8.04 box with a single VGA connector.  Normal monitor: 15" 1024x768 LCD, detected perfectly.  New monitor: 40" Sony Bravia XBR3 series LCD 1080p HDTV.  Autodetect fails.  I'm currently typing on this great TV at a stretched 1024x768.  I know editing xorg.conf should eventually fix the problem, but I'd like to switch betwen monitors easily - how would I do this?
[05:57] <Skipp_OSX> the python-gnome2-extras package seemed to work
[05:57] <dmsuperman> ace_suares: that wouldn't help...those are just the installer packages aren't they?
[05:57] <ace_suares> dmsuperman: I rsync my / with --backup-dir=`date`
[05:57] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: :s, odd
[05:58]  * nickrud considers kicking TrogdorBurn out of jealousy
[05:58] <punzada> so I don't use the evolution project at all, but is the development on it like newly opened or something? i see critical updates for it pass through at the very least once a week typically bi-daily
[05:58] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: well...you could try creating 2 xorg.confs?
[05:58] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: well.... I may have some residual Debian packages though
[05:58] <annie_g> Does "Screenlets" work in Hardy Heron 8.04 - Gnome desktop ?
[05:58] <TrogdorBurn> nickrud - it's just temporary :)  family uses it most of the time
[05:58] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I'm also running gutsy
[05:58] <dmsuperman> annie_g: yeah, afaik
[05:58] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: now you tell me!
[05:58] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: hahahahaa
[05:58] <EverettgM1819> ﻿Does anyone know if the file tranfer problem is a bug in ﻿Pidgin 2.4.1??????
[05:58] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: that could make a big difference
[05:58]  * ace_suares said he'd go an now is gone!
[05:58] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: well, i didn't figure it'd make a big deal
[05:59] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: well upgrade to Hardy, all the cool kids are doing it
[05:59] <jack-desktop> i added new compiz repos to my sources.list, if i remove them will it downgrade compiz for me?
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I prefer my flash and sound to work, thankyouverymuch
[05:59] <crdlb> jack-desktop: which compiz repos?
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I tried it, pulse was 100% headache, said screw it and came back
[05:59] <Shaba2> ok can anyone reccomend a program so I can vnc INTO a unbuntu machine from a windows vnc listner
[05:59] <Shaba2> ?
[05:59] <jack-desktop> crdlb, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu hardy main
[05:59] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I am running Hardy with working flash and working sound... but maybe I am an anomoly
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: do you have compiz 0.7.6 ?
[05:59] <jack-desktop> crdlb, it upgraded to the newest one
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: RealVNC
[05:59] <annie_g> d_supereman: I installed this but can't find it any to run it - Have did a restart as well?
[05:59] <TrogdorBurn> dmsuperman - and switching between them would require a reboot every time?   Would the 1080p xorg fail gracefully if booted on the 1024x768 box?
[05:59] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I do not think I have compiz anything
[05:59] <Skipp_OSX> not sure though
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: wait, windows is the VNC server
[05:59] <crdlb> jack-desktop: you'd have to downgrade each package manually afaik
[05:59] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: type "vncviewer" from the commandline
[06:00] <spoon_man> TrogdorBurn, you wouldn't have to reboot, just restart X
[06:00] <dru> when i try to burn using k3b .. i get this error .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23245/ ... any idea how to fix it?
[06:00] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace will restart X, so you could write a script to swap them out and then restart it
[06:00] <crdlb> jack-desktop: I don't think apt will care that the newer packages are no longer available
[06:00] <cannon> Thanks for the usual jack shit, #ubuntu.
[06:00] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: I know it's a lot easier if you have a nvidia card, it has that panel that allows you to apply changes without restarting X
[06:00] <jack-desktop> crdlb, that sucks :)
[06:00] <TrogdorBurn> If only :)  the box has integrated graphics
[06:01] <dmsuperman> did anybody even see cannon ask a question?
[06:01] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: great, yes, I do have compiz, I ran it and now my pandora screenlet is messed up
[06:01] <TrogdorBurn> Is there a means of having selectable profiles in the "Screen Resolutions" window, or should I tack that on to the wishlist?
[06:01] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: but do you have 0.7.6?
[06:02] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: afaik, only the nvidia panel allows you to do that easily
[06:02] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: but then again, I don't know much ;)
[06:02] <spoon_man> dmsuperman, he was trying to get Evince to open a CBR file
[06:02] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I don't know how do I check without running it?
[06:02] <dmsuperman> spoon_man: oh. meh, who needs em anyway
[06:02] <esac> any good explanation on linux-rt kernel and whether or not i should be running it ?
[06:02] <TrogdorBurn> dmsuperman - thanks.  Any idea if the nvidia panel works on non-nvidia cards :)?
[06:02] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: compiz --version I think
[06:02] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: it doesn't :(
[06:02] <dru> when i try to burn using k3b .. i get this error .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23245/ ... any idea how to fix it?
[06:03] <navetz_> hey guys, I can't get my microphone to work in audacity through ALSA, it works through OSS but once I record something it says that my device is busy and I cant record again until I restart audicity. any ideas?
[06:03] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: no I tried that it runs it =(
[06:03] <dmsuperman> dru: try running it as sudo? it seems to be trying to write to folders outside of /home
[06:03] <Shaba2> dmsuperman: that woudl start the view on the linux machine
[06:03] <Shaba2> I want to vnc INTO the linux machine
[06:03] <Felonious> is there a way to open something in gnome like I was using sudo?
[06:03] <Talva> Excuse me, how can i activate cookies on apache2?
[06:04] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: it'll restart it but at the end it'll give you the version, if ran from term
[06:04] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: so, you have a linux vnc server, windows vnc client?
[06:04] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: the windows app you want is RealVNC
[06:04] <crdlb> Skipp_OSX: it should go through the compatibility test, then print the compiz version
[06:04] <TrogdorBurn> dmsuperman - awww....  I always wondered why there were so many resolution switchers (including good ones like Powerstrip) for Windows when it was built into the OS.   Are there any decent linux ones other than nvidia?  Or is that too low of a function for an app to do without extensive driver efforts
[06:04] <spoon_man> Felonious, gksu is the gnome sudo, if that's what you mean
[06:04] <dmsuperman> Talva: cookies have nothing to do with apache, what's the issue?
[06:04] <dru> dmsuperman: how would i run as a sudo? .. just sudo run k3b ?
[06:05] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: that I don't know, I have nvidia so I haven't ever bothered looking :P
[06:05] <Shaba2> ok dmsuperman once again
[06:05] <Shaba2> ok can anyone reccomend a program so I can vnc INTO a unbuntu machine from a windows vnc listner
[06:05] <dmsuperman> dru: "sudo k3b"
[06:05] <Felonious> spoon_man how do I use it?
[06:05] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I am running compiz 0.7.4
[06:05] <TrogdorBurn> dmsuperman - thanks for the help
[06:05] <PrimoTurbo> Is anyone running BMPanel? I need help getting to compile...
[06:05] <spoon_man> !gksu | Felonious
[06:05] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: look, upgrade to Hardy and don't run compiz, it is not ready
[06:05] <esac> how do i write a message to the system log ?
[06:05] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: listener means that it's the server. either windows is the server (as you said) or ubuntu is, which is it?
[06:05] <esac> from an sh script
[06:05] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I have 0.7.6...compiz runs great
[06:06] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: I ran into problems running IntelliJ too, some windows would not draw themselves with Compiz enabled
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I tried hardy, it's pulse that's terrible
[06:06] <dmsuperman> TrogdorBurn: no problem
[06:06] <Skipp_OSX> what is pulse?
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: I've never had an issue with compiz
[06:06] <Talva> dmsuperman I've a forum but users can't login automaticly, they don't receive the cookie
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: the replacement for alsa in hardy
[06:06] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: have you ever run IntelliJ?
[06:06] <Felonious> ok spoon_man, but is there a way to add it to a context menu in gnome?  For example "Open with gksudo"?
[06:06] <dru> dmsuperman: same error
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Talva: that's up to the forum software
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: no
[06:06] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: well that is why you haven't had problems =)
[06:06] <dmsuperman> dru then i'm not sure...what are you trying to burn and where is it located?
[06:06] <Felonious> oops
[06:06] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: heh.
[06:06] <nickrud> dmsuperman no, alsa is in the kernel, pluse is the replacement for esd
[06:06] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: no seriously, there are issues with all swing apps
[06:07] <Felonious> spoon_man Im trying to avoid using the CLI if I dont have to
[06:07] <dmsuperman> nickrud: you're right, my bad
[06:07] <dru> dmsuperman: im trying to burn an avi file onto a dvd-r disc .. the file is located in a folder on the desktop
[06:07] <Talva> dmsuperman ok, i'll see that, thanks
[06:07] <vaportrailnew123> how do i enable promiscuous mode?
[06:07] <spoon_man> Felonious, that's going to be pretty difficult to do in Linux
[06:07] <Skipp_OSX> anybody else have a problem using compiz and a swing app?
[06:07] <dmsuperman> Felonious: get used to it, the CLI is a very powerful tool. Don't be afraid, it won't bite ;)
[06:07] <Shaba2> vnc server is the program you run on the machine that you want to connect to. It LISTENS for connections
[06:08] <Felonious> im not afraid at all
[06:08] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: do you have some strange sound card or something?
[06:08] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: EVGA nVidia 7900 GS KO
[06:08] <Shaba2> Vnc viewer is the program that you run on the machine that you are sitting at the keyboard in front of.
[06:08] <Felonious> im just thinking there has to be away to open something with gksudo from with inside gnome
[06:08] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: right
[06:08] <vaportrailnew123> ﻿how do i enable promiscuous mode? any good guides?
[06:08] <Skipp_OSX> dmsuperman: because I am just ignorant, I have no idea what the computer is running and everything seems to work more or less
[06:08] <[[thufir]]> can I somehow "install" JDOM through the package manager?  Or just download it?
[06:08] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: right. you said your windows vnc listener, and you also said you want to VNC INTO ubuntu
[06:09] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: your description is conflicting
[06:09] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: I'm well aware of what a server/listener is
[06:09] <spoon_man> Felonious, it's designed the way it is for security reasons -- you don't want to make superuser priveleges only a click away
[06:09] <vaportrailnew123> ?
[06:09] <Felonious> well its just me here and i know what Im doing
[06:09] <dru> dmsuperman: how do i install a tar.gz file?
[06:09] <Felonious> so i dont see the problem with me allowing me that option
[06:09] <Shaba2> then what I was asking for was a linux vnc server
[06:09] <dmsuperman> Felonious: if you're hell bent on doing it that way, you can google and find a nautilus script that adds it to your right click menu
[06:10] <Felonious> lol im not, just saying
[06:10] <spoon_man> Felonious, it's a command that you only want to invoke when necessary, it's not meant to be convenient
[06:10] <Skipp_OSX> well, I am all working here now so I guess I will go on my way
[06:10] <dmsuperman> dru: you don't install it, it's an archive
[06:10] <Skipp_OSX> sorry I couldn't be more help dmsuperman
[06:10] <dmsuperman> Shaba2: x11vnc
[06:10] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: it's fine, no worries :D
[06:10] <nickrud> vaportrailnew123   sudo ifconfig <interface> promisc ,  -promisc to disable
[06:11] <Allaun> hello
[06:12] <vaportrailnew123> thnx
[06:12] <lwizardl> how do I enable write access for hfs+ on 8.04
[06:12] <PrimoTurbo> Are there experimental repos for hardy somewhere, I need a more up to date glibc to compile a program any ideas?
[06:12] <dru> dmsuperman: so.... how would i install this mandvd ... run the makefile?
[06:13] <dmsuperman> dru: extract it, and then read the README or INSTALL file
[06:13] <dmsuperman> dru: the gist of them usually say run "./configure" "make" and "sudo make install"
[06:13] <dmsuperman> dru: but take a look in case it has special rules or steps
[06:13] <legend2440> Felonious: here is a script i use sometimes. you can open root nautilus in any folder.     http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/Execute/Misc/root-nautilus-here
[06:14] <Felonious> thanks
[06:14] <dru> dmsuperman: it doesnt have an install file .. only a readme (but thats just notes form the maker)
[06:15] <dmsuperman> dru: what's inside the archive?
[06:16] <tc111> dmsuperman: he extracted it from an RPM
[06:16] <nickrud> legend2440 that is an evil script
[06:16] <dmsuperman> tc111: why not alien it?
[06:16] <nickrud> legend2440 meant a smiley there
[06:16] <dru> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ManDVD?content=83906
[06:17] <tc111> dmsuperman: someone said earlier that he shouldn't...
[06:17] <dru> dmsuperman: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ManDVD?content=83906 .. there is the link
[06:17] <nickrud> that would be me. alien creates stuff that rips out your system's guts
[06:17] <nickrud> !alien
[06:18] <dmsuperman> dru: find another app that works in ubuntu :D
[06:18] <lwizardl> how do I enable write access for hfs+ on 8.04? i have tried both chown and chmod and I still can not write to the drive
[06:18] <dmsuperman> dru: I tend to agree with whatever nickrud says, he usually knows things ;)
[06:18] <dru> dmsuperman: i thought this did?
[06:18] <dmsuperman> dru: no, read the page
[06:18] <dmsuperman> dru: it says it needs FC9
[06:18] <dmsuperman> dru: Fedora 9
[06:19] <dru> dmsuperman: fucking fine print ... haha my bad
[06:19] <EverettgM1819> what does ﻿BURN IT WITH FIRE! mean in the ()?
[06:19] <EverettgM1819> is it like a personal message you can add to your IRC account?
[06:20] <dmsuperman> dru: it's alright...try to keep the language out though ;)
[06:20] <nickrud> dru one downside to linux is that each distribution tends to put important stuff in slightly diffferent places. So a package compiled (and turned into an rpm in this case) on one distro will often break another distro
[06:21] <nickrud> EverettgM1819 it's a part message, you can do  /part Burn it with fire
[06:21] <mitchell> guys goodmorning how can I make sound work in asmn?
[06:22] <Jane_> Hi
[06:22] <EverettgM1819> oh cool, thanx, i couldn't find much documentary on irc commands, and how do you get the name to show up in front of the messages
[06:22] <dmsuperman> Well, I'm off to bed
[06:22] <nickrud> EverettgM1819 or add it to your client, in xchat it's at prefs->chatting->general
[06:22] <Flynsarmy> Would it be a good idea to download and install the latest stable linux kernel (2.6.25.9) rather than wait for it in apt? or would it be too buggy?
[06:22] <DeaconBlues> hello
[06:22] <dmsuperman> crdlb, nickrud, as usual thanks for all your help :D
[06:22] <nickrud> EverettgM1819 just type a couple of chars, and hit the tab key
[06:22] <Prose> I never got this: how does linux keep track of installed apps so it knows what to delete when you uninstall?
[06:22] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: usually wait until things show up in apt if they're mission critical ;)
[06:22] <Jane_> I got a bunch of videos I have to convert to H.264 so they can play on my portable player. Is there an app for Ubuntu that can convert my videos in bulk?
[06:22] <nickrud> Flynsarmy wait, unless you're really comfortable with compiling a kernel
[06:23] <DeaconBlues> Anyone know a good partitioner for installing Vista with software RAID???
[06:23] <Flynsarmy> nickrud, I'm a newbie here, but i've found the current one to be pretty buggy :( i often get errors trying to drag-drop files
[06:23] <dmsuperman> Jane_: I'm not sure about in bulk, but you could always write a script to use "mencoder" to do it
[06:23] <dmsuperman> Jane_: or ask somebody else really nicely if you don't know how
[06:23] <nickrud> Flynsarmy you sure that's the kernel? drag & drop is normally a gui function, much higher level
[06:24] <Prose> j ##linux
[06:24] <dmsuperman> Jane_: but you want something like "mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc x264 FILE.avi OUTFILE.avi"
[06:24] <dmsuperman> Prose: forgot a / ;P
[06:24] <Jane_> dmsuperman - Oh OK
[06:24] <Jane_> Cool
[06:24] <Jane_> I'll check it out
[06:24] <dmsuperman> Jane_: :)
[06:24] <Jane_> I'm just not sure how fast my computer would convert them
[06:24] <Prose> dmsuperman: I know,it's a little embarassing :)
[06:24] <dmsuperman> Jane_: depends the length, and the cpu speed
[06:24] <mitchell> anyone knows how to make sound work in amsn
[06:24] <Jane_> So I was thinking of just leaving it on overnight to convert
[06:24] <mitchell> ?
[06:24] <Flynsarmy> nickrud, No idea. All i know is it didn't happen when i was back on the older kernels but for all i know it was one of the nautilus updates that did it. It's nautilus that i do everything in and it's waht's crashing or failing to drag-drop
[06:25] <dmsuperman> Jane_: how big are they, how fast is your processor?
[06:25] <nickrud> Flynsarmy I'd really suspect nautilus or one of it's support libs
[06:25] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: then that's an issue with nauitlus
[06:25] <Jane_> 150MB each in AVI, and I have a duo 1.8ghz computer
[06:25] <Skipp_OSX> alright, I am back, and guess what? I have a sound issue =)
[06:25] <dmsuperman> Jane_: I'd estimate roughly 20-30 minutes per video...depending on the settings
[06:25] <dmsuperman> Jane_: that's a very rough estimate
[06:25] <Skipp_OSX> VLC is not playing audio =(
[06:26] <dmsuperman> Jane_: your best bet is to just figure out shell scripting, or ask somebody really nicely to help you write one
[06:26] <Jane_> That's why I'd like something in bulk
[06:26] <Flynsarmy> dmsuperman, What would you suggest the problem is?
[06:26] <Jane_> Where would you recommend I learn shell scripting?
[06:26] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: my parting instruction before I go to bed: try "mv ~/.vlc ~/.vlc-bak"
[06:26] <dmsuperman> Skipp_OSX: and retry it. If it works then, it was your configuration
[06:27] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: that i'm not sure, I'm going to bed
[06:27] <dmsuperman> Jane_: google is a great resource
[06:27] <legend2440> Jane_: winff is a frontend for ffmpeg that batch converts video files     http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=29
[06:27] <nickrud> Jane_ a good start is installing abs-guide , the tutorial would be at /usr/share/docs/abs-guide (advanced bash scripting, but it starts simply)
[06:27] <Jane_> Sounds good :)
[06:27] <Elad123> hello everyone.. I need some help please, how can I play *.wmv file on ubuntu? :| (even with VLC it's not open)
[06:27] <Jane_> OK
[06:27] <kit_ty> hey
[06:27] <Jane_> I'll check out abs-guide
[06:27] <dmsuperman> Jane_: you want to look at "for loops", perhaps "directory listing" and finally executing mencoder with "variables"
[06:27] <kit_ty> does anyone know how to install itunes
[06:27] <kit_ty> :
[06:27] <kit_ty> ?
[06:28] <nickrud> kit_ty not doable in linux
[06:28] <dmsuperman> kit_ty: use amaroK, exaile, gtkpod, Songbird, etc.
[06:28] <kit_ty> im very very new
[06:28] <dmsuperman> gnight all!
[06:28] <DeaconBlues> Would Windows Server 2008 enable me to set up software RAID to install Vista on?? I want to set up dual-boot with Ubuntu.
[06:28] <kit_ty> oh
[06:28] <kit_ty> kk
[06:28] <Jane_> Hey
[06:28] <EverettgM1819> can someone be descriptive on the / part command
[06:28] <Jane_> It looks like WinFF does bulk :)
[06:28] <legend2440> Jane_: yes it does
[06:28] <Elad123> hello everyone.. I need some help please, how can I play *.wmv file on ubuntu? :| (even with VLC it's not open)
[06:29] <Jane_> Sounds good to me
[06:29] <Jane_> Thanks all
[06:29] <DeaconBlues> @Elad123: right-click on the .wmv file and make sure it is set to open with VLC.
[06:29] <DeaconBlues> in the properties tab.
[06:29] <Flynsarmy> I can't figure out how to get a static wireless IP address on ubuntu. I've tried playing with /etc/networking/interfaces but no luck. the GUI doesn't work either
[06:30] <g4rRy> ugoffo
[06:30] <Elad123> DeaconBlues, I did it... but there is no video and sound...
[06:30] <DeaconBlues> @Elad123: you tried copying the file onto another PC/laptop to make sure the .wmv isn't corrupted?
[06:31] <Elad123> well.. I'll try it now
[06:31] <EverettgM1819> can someone tell me how to use the / part command?
[06:32] <DeaconBlues> @Everett: you could install GParted, the graphical partitioner, but it takes aaaages to scan your drives.
[06:32] <spenser> I'm in an embedded system and have no ls command how can I list the directories
[06:33] <Elad123> well.. it's working on window..
[06:33] <spenser> It's hard to search google for ls workaround
[06:33] <DeaconBlues> Elad, maybe uninstall VLC and reinstall it, perhaps a dodgy codec??
[06:34] <Elad123> dodgy codec?
[06:34] <EverettgM1819> DeaconBlues: thanx i'll try it
[06:34] <DeaconBlues> Yeah. I think VLC comes with its own codecs embedded. The Windows version does anyhow.
[06:35] <Skipp_OSX> still no sound with VLC
[06:35] <Flynsarmy> Could also be a combination of no video codec pulseaudio screwing him over
[06:35] <spenser> i dont think its possible
[06:36] <mitchell> anyone uses amarok? i need to know how to removed those notifications that amrok gives you when a song is started
[06:36] <Skipp_OSX> I think it is probably a problem with pulse
[06:36] <xenolalia> Hi!  I need some tech help with Ubuntu.  I've never done a chat in my life.  Am I in the right place?
[06:37] <DeaconBlues> Well I only came on to ask if anyone new how to software RAID Vista, but it's bedtime now so too tired to start partitioning RAID. Will maybe try again tomorrow. Night all.
[06:37] <node357> xenolalia, yeah you are in the right place
[06:38] <xenolalia> Can I ask any question about Ubuntu -- or is there a certain topic?  I'm sorry -- I've never done a chat before . . .
[06:38] <EverettgM1819> ummm i dont think my computer is supposed to read the harddrive so intensly, how vulnerable is linux to be hacked and stuff?
[06:38] <node357> !ask | xenolalia
[06:39] <Seven_Six_Two> xenolalia, as long as it's support related
[06:40] <Seven_Six_Two> EverettgM1819, it depends on your abilities
[06:40] <EverettgM1819> what kind of hack and security attacks is ubuntu linux vulnerable to, can i trust my data to be safe
[06:40] <Skipp_OSX> I changed my preferences to use pulse audio output
[06:40] <Skipp_OSX> still no sound
[06:40] <mutantx> is there an open source podcast software that you can suggest that I use? Something like PodPress, but it looks like that's just a plugin for wordpress...
[06:40] <spoon_man> EverettgM1819, safe compared to what? Linux is pretty secure out-of-the-box
[06:41] <EverettgM1819> spoon_man: im just asking because windows is a widely used os and its got alot more attackers i would guess, that know the kernel better than linux
[06:41] <xenolalia> I'm dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 2000.  All of a sudden, when I try to boot into Windows, I get a screen that says, "Could not find kernel image."
[06:41] <Seven_Six_Two> EverettgM1819, and you are free to take additional steps to protect your data like offsite backup and encryption
[06:41] <webpirate> anyone in here?
[06:42] <SugarBoy> hmm
[06:42] <webpirate> Hi all...
[06:42] <xenolalia> (After I select Windows 2000 in grub, that is)
[06:42] <Allaun> hi
[06:42] <webpirate> i have a question...I picked up an external USB hard drive and ubuntu finds it just fine...but....what is the best backup software for ubuntu.........
[06:42] <EverettgM1819> is there any anti-virus for ubuntu?
[06:42] <xenolalia> There is also the word "boot."
[06:42] <webpirate> EVERETT>> AVG make an antivirus for ubuntu
[06:43] <Seven_Six_Two> EverettgM1819, yes
[06:43] <spoon_man> EverettgM1819, linux is built from the ground up to be a network-aware and administrator-oriented platform; all ports are closed by default, essential folders and files are password-protected, encryption is usually a click away, etc etc
[06:43] <EverettgM1819> webpirate: sweet, i like avg
[06:43] <node357> !info lilo
[06:43] <EverettgM1819> spoon_man: thats good to kno
[06:44] <node357> I'm going to see if installing lilo can fix a boot problem
[06:44] <node357> brb
[06:44] <Seven_Six_Two> EverettgM1819, antivirus isn't a bad thing, but it's not going to find much more than ineffective windows virii
[06:44] <Skipp_OSX> apparently pulse doesn't work with VLC... =(
[06:44] <g4rRy> uyfds,lriou;
[06:44] <g4rRy> uyjfyiuo
[06:44] <spoon_man> EverettgM1819, wikipedia has a bunch of information about linux, it's good reading
[06:44] <g4rRy> yhiuooiyoi
[06:44] <g4rRy> ihty7t7yutroi]
[06:44] <g4rRy> gtgphojp'[

[06:44] <g4rRy> gur6ero
[06:44] <Skipp_OSX> g4rRy: calm down
[06:44] <Dezine> Can someone help me with an issue? http://pastebin.com/m304b8a74 Trying to install Virtualbox and keep getting a headers eror
[06:45] <Skipp_OSX> too late
[06:45] <EverettgM1819> Seven_Six_Two: ok cool
[06:45] <webpirate> What is the best backup software for ubuntu.....
[06:45] <EverettgM1819> spoon_man: i'll read into that
[06:45] <Skipp_OSX> webpirate: tar
[06:45] <Seven_Six_Two> webpirate, it depends on the method of backup
[06:45] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and no when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[06:45] <WhoNeedszzz> now*
[06:45] <webpirate> I would like to have it run automatically and backup only changed files....should I just setup a cron job?
[06:46] <EverettgM1819> k bed time for me, ttyl im tired thanx for the help everyone
[06:46] <node357> darn, installing lilo didn't seem to work for me
[06:46] <Shaba2> damn
[06:46] <Shaba2> this should not be that hard
[06:46] <Seven_Six_Two> webpirate, you could. is it nas?
[06:46] <webpirate> no....USB external
[06:47] <webpirate> they wanted 250.00 for NAS.......but 89.99 for usb...
[06:47] <WhoNeedszzz> any ideas?
[06:47] <spoon_man> xenolalia, do you have your windows disk?
[06:47] <wols_> WhoNeedszzz: sdb is not a partition, it's a full drive
[06:47] <webpirate> is there a backup software for KDE?
[06:47] <wols_> WhoNeedszzz: sdb1 is a partition
[06:47] <wols_> also you need to put a filesystem on the partition first
[06:47] <WhoNeedszzz> wols_: no duh. i'm mounting the partition...
[06:48] <Dezine> Can someone help me with an issue? http://pastebin.com/m304b8a74 Trying to install Virtualbox and keep getting a headers error
[06:48] <wols_> WhoNeedszzz: have you made a filesystem?
[06:48] <WhoNeedszzz> wols_: there is a filesystem. and data
[06:48] <Saelynh> http://www.ecrans.fr/Une-53e-artiste-contre-le,4500.html
[06:48] <WhoNeedszzz> wols_: the drive had one partition, i split it up into two
[06:48] <superbenny> webpirate: a quick google of KDE backup brings up konserve
[06:48] <Skipp_OSX> can someone recommend a video player other than Totem or VLC?
[06:48] <wols_> !ops | Skipp_OSX is spamming
[06:49] <Skipp_OSX> I am spamming?
[06:49] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: vlc
[06:49] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: oh. well vlc is awesome
[06:49] <wols_> Skipp_OSX: sorry
[06:49] <nalioth> wols_: huh?
[06:49] <jussi01> wols_: ??
[06:49] <wols_> nalioth: Saelynh  is
[06:49] <wols_> Skipp_OSX: you wrote before I could finish my !ops line
[06:49] <Saelynh> wo hoop wols_wrong chan
[06:49] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I agree that VLC is awsome, but unfortunately audio is not working for me and Totem just won't play the video at all
[06:49] <wols_> leading to a mistab
[06:49] <SugarBoy> can someone help me with a connection problem?
[06:50] <Saelynh> for the url sry :X
[06:50] <Skipp_OSX> wols_ no problem
[06:50] <vox> Skipp_OSX: mplayer
[06:50] <Saelynh> I say SORRY
[06:50] <Saelynh> =_=
[06:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: u don't have it configured then. go to the configuration and change the audio output to the correct one
[06:50] <Seven_Six_Two> Skipp_OSX, can you play music?
[06:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> Seven_Six_Two: yes, I can play audio is most applications
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I configured it to use the pulse audio plugin is that not enough?
[06:51] <Michael88> hi everyone...what can i use to connect to a ventrilo server??
[06:51] <Skipp_OSX> Michael88: good question
[06:51] <Codi> I'm having an issue with mp3 playback. VLC, Rythmbox, Songbird. none of them have playback. Only codecs I've installed lately have been w32codecs, not sure what I messed up. Feel free to let me know.
[06:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: do you have pulseaudio?
[06:52] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I don't really know, I am on Hardy Heron if that helps
[06:52] <WhoNeedszzz> that doesn't
[06:52] <SugarBoy> lol
[06:52] <Michael88> yes he has pulseaudio
[06:52] <Michael88> i have Hardy Heron..and i have pulseaudio and alsa
[06:53] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: use default audio output
[06:53] <HR416> ive got mustard
[06:53] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
[06:53] <Anonymoose> hi.. is this chat has to do with babylon5?
[06:54] <Seven_Six_Two> WhoNeedszzz, what filesystem did you put on it?
[06:54] <WhoNeedszzz> Seven_Six_Two: vfat
[06:54] <MatthewV> Codi, I'd double check that you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed :)
[06:54] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: no luck
[06:54] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: what audio driver are you using?
[06:54] <revilodraw> i just installed frostwire but it wont open, nothing happens. any ideas?
[06:54] <Skipp_OSX> Michael88: it appears that it is impossible to run the Ventrilo client natively in Linux, however, you can run Ventrilo using wine
[06:55] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I don't know, how can I check?
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: i would guess you are using alsa so: sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: if you don't know you are using alsa
[06:55] <Wispring> I am trying to set up VSFTPD (FTP-Server) for anonymous, download only access. I figure I should be able to type "FTP://myipaddress" to access it but so far this isn't working.Any advice/information/help would be greatly appreciated
[06:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: vlc is an oss app so you need to install alsa-oss
[06:55] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: I am installing it now
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> k
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> it mounted before
[06:56] <Skipp_OSX> WhoNeedszzz: and suddenly sound works, thank you WhoNeedszzz
[06:56] <WhoNeedszzz> Skipp_OSX: no problem :D
[06:57] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try not to repeat your question so often, if someone knows the answer they'll help... could you elaborate on "I just partitioned a drive"
[06:57] <jose__> en que estan
[06:57] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i had one partition on the drive and i just made it into 2 partitions. the second partition mounts but the first won't
[06:58] <tc111> !es | jose__
[06:59] <WhoNeedszzz> i get this when running fsck on the partition: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[06:59] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:00] <ethanjay> I'm running off the 8.04 livecd right now, and ubuntu detected my wifi card (dell wireless) but it was very obtuse about telling me that I needed to be plugged into wired ethernet to get the drivers -- I think this should be more clear, like "to enable wi-fi, you need to be connected to the internet through dial-up, LAN, or bluetooth" or something
[07:01] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, so you had one partition (ext3? fat32?) and you resized that to make room for a new one? or deleted it and created two new ones?
[07:02] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: resized it for a new ext3 partition
[07:03] <dymas> hiii
[07:03] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, ok, so you're saying then that the new ext3 (empty) partition mounts fine, but the old (ext3?) partition won't mount, with the superblock error
[07:03] <simi> hi, can anyone explain me what this line in fstab means /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,utf8,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
[07:03] <simi> how it works??
[07:03] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: yes except the one that won't mount is vfat
[07:04] <simi> i have error when i try to use cd or dvd, i can't open them, i have mount them manualy with mount
[07:05] <WhoNeedszzz> simi: that means that /dev/scd0 will be mounted at /media/cdrom0 automatically at startup
[07:05] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, what mount command are you using to mount the vfat partition then?
[07:06] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[07:06] <giacomo_carissim> is there a way to replace gnome-volume-manager with alsamixer?
[07:06] <tc111> simi: edit fstab and place a '#' in front of that line... let mtab (automounting, autodetection, hotplugging, etc...) detect the insertion and mount it for you
[07:06] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try using "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[07:06] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: sure. uninstall gnome-volume-manager and install alsamixergui :p
[07:06] <giacomo_carissim> can i do that with ubuntu or will it uninstall a lot more?
[07:06] <howlingmadhowie> simi: /dev/scd0 is the name of the device node, /media/cdrom0 is where it should be mounted udf,iso9660 are possible partition types, user... are options for mounting, 0 and 0 are something about dumping the file system and if the file system should be checked at boot
[07:07] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: same error
[07:07] <simi> ok, i edit fstab and restart
[07:07] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: use synaptic
[07:07] <giacomo_carissim> ok, ill give it a try
[07:07] <tc111> simi: sure...
[07:07] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, ok, try "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[07:07] <justin__> Wow. Theres a lot of people on here.
[07:07] <giacomo_carissim> it says i have to uninstall ubuntu-desktop
[07:08] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: same error
[07:08] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: then don't. just install alsamixergui.
[07:08] <giacomo_carissim> can i install the alsamixergui and have that run instead of gnome-volume-manager?
[07:09] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: it is seperate. it is located under the Applications menu
[07:09] <WhoNeedszzz> separate*
[07:09] <justin__> Does anyone know how to get java on Ubuntu? I am having the biggest problem :(
[07:09] <tc111> justin__: 32 or 64-bit ubuntu
[07:10] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:10] <justin__> x86, so, uhm, 32 bit?
[07:10] <giacomo_carissim> is there a way to have my system volume buttons adjust the alsamixergui instead of gnome-volume-manager?
[07:10] <howlingmadhowie> justin__: apt-get install openjdk-jre
[07:10] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, hmm... do you think you could pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?
[07:10] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: no the button is for gnome-volume-manager
[07:10] <justin__> Thanks
[07:10] <justin__> its working.
[07:11] <giacomo_carissim> but it seems like there would be a way to link the buttons to alsamixer instead, no?
[07:11] <justin__> I have experience with Ubuntu, but, for some reason I kept thinking "sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre" and it wasn't working :S
[07:11] <tc111> justin__: make sure universe and multiverse are enabled in your software sources, you can install sun's version or openjdk
[07:11] <Temujin_12> does anyone know if the edgy repositories are down?
[07:11] <tc111> justin__: up to v6 now...
[07:11] <justin__> Oh, I guess thats why, lol.
[07:11] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: http://pastebin.com/d2f65b970
[07:12] <howlingmadhowie> justin__: if you want the jdk programs as well, you can install them with openjdk-jdk (i think. i'm not on an ubuntu machine atm)
[07:12] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: you can create a new button via a launcher if you'd like
[07:12] <Rat409> !edgy | Temujin_12
[07:12] <giacomo_carissim> create a new button?  but the buttons are stuck on the front of my laptop
[07:12] <Temujin_12> i'm trying to upgrade an ubuntu 6.10 server to 8.04 and the upgrade tool fails because it can't fetch the edgy repositories so i get the error discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-424547.html
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: ohhh. that button. ok yes. you can remap the keyboard to launch alsamixergui.
[07:13] <giacomo_carissim> what's that under?  keyboard?
[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: should be
[07:13] <Temujin_12> that's what i'm trying to do (upgrade) but  sudo do-release-upgrade  won't let me upgrade on account of it not being able to communicate with edgy sources
[07:13] <giacomo_carissim> wait, but they're volume buttons, so each one will have to launch alsamixergui?
[07:14] <tc111> justin__: try aptitude instead of apt-get too... you can also use tab-completion with either when you're not too sure of the name...
[07:14] <tc111> simi: what's the verdict simi
[07:14] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: no. they need to be mapped to the appropriate raising or lowering volume command
[07:15] <giacomo_carissim> can i have alsamixer launch at startup and run in the system panel or behind the scenes and have the volume buttons control the alsamixer that is running?
[07:15] <justin__> Are you typing my name or are you doing that automaticly somehow? I am a big IRC noob. This is like the first time I have used it, lol.
[07:15] <simi> tc111,  it does not work
[07:15] <simi> the cd do not mount automaticaly or when i try to open it from computer
[07:15] <Wispring> I would like some help setting up vsftpd(FTP-server) to be accessable with anonymous log-in for down load only. maybe i need to do port fowarding, but am unsure how to accomplish this. any help would be appreciated
[07:15] <Temujin_12> it seems a bit contradictory to "end of life" a version which also cripples the upgrade tool to allow you to get out of that version
[07:16] <tc111> simi: you ejected and re-inserted the cd?
[07:16] <simi> yes
[07:16] <Temujin_12> i was thinking of just renaming every instance of edgy to fiesty or gusty in my sources.list then doing the upgrade, but that is generally bad no?
[07:16] <simi> tc111, it  would be nicer if the error message would have more details
[07:17] <simi> tc111,  mount comand works
[07:17] <Rat409> Temujin_12: you edit /etc/apt/sources.list change edgy to feisty,upgrade to it then change to gutsy,upgrde it,then to hardy. it may/may not work a fresh install is recommended
[07:17] <justin__> tcll: We have the same ISP, lol.
[07:17] <justin__> tc111: *
[07:17] <WhoNeedszzz> giacomo_carissim: hit add for the commands and type amixer set Master 0% and hit the mute button on the laptop. add a new one as amixer set Master 10%- and hit the lower volume button on the laptop. lastly add a new one as amixer set Master 10%+ and hit the raise volume button on the laptop
[07:17] <Rat409> Temujin_12: if you do use aptitude
[07:17] <tc111> simi: what the command you're using that works
[07:18] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: so...
[07:18] <tc111> justin__: using tab completion available in xchat
[07:18] <Temujin_12> thanks Rat409, i'll try that.... unfortunately, i don't have things partitioned such that I can do a clean install w/o having to backup/restore data
[07:18] <justin__> I am using xChat, but, how do I do that?
[07:19] <revilodraw> which command tests whether ipv6 is running?
[07:19] <Rat409> Temujin_12: sure,hope it works.
[07:19] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:19] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, not sure then... my gut feeling would be that the resize somehow muddled the partition...
[07:20] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i guess i need to make a new partition and move the data to it and delete that partition :(
[07:20] <marvin__> hi guys, do you guys know how to change the default workspace in eclipse?
[07:20] <cronin> hi, new to ubuntu... i am using it on a webserver. I am in the terminal via my mac. I need to add a super user so I did visudo but everytime I press down... it gives me a litter =P
[07:20] <marvin__> sudo vi
[07:21] <wols_> a litter?
[07:21] <slchen> Hi, all.
[07:21] <marvin__> can anyone solve my eclipse problem?
[07:21] <Jane_> hero
[07:21] <Jane_> Hi
[07:21] <Flannel> cronin: That's a mac terminal issue.  Your terminal isn't sending the arrow keys 'properly'
[07:21] <Rat409> cronin: try visudo /etc/sudoers?
[07:21] <Jane_> Anyone here get the Guitar Hero Air Guitar?
[07:21] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, you could try run fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdb1 but i'm not sure if that's the best idea.. probably best to backup if possible then try taht
[07:21] <slchen> Is the trashcan a built-in function of nautilus file manager?
[07:22] <Flannel> cronin: But, you don't need to edit sudoers to add a user.  Just make them a part of the admin group
[07:22] <marvin__> does anyone know where to configure the default workspace for eclipse?
[07:23] <l1f3> hi. how can i start up in command line mode but not gdm?
[07:24] <marvin__> alt f1
[07:25] <negge> l1f3: when you get to the login screen you can choose failsafe commandline from session type
[07:25] <Felonious> I just installed subversion from synaptic, where by default does it copy the source to when I do an svn checkout?
[07:25] <negge> or press Alt+F1
[07:25] <Felonious> it doesnt not appear to be /usr/src/
[07:25] <marvin__> in a temp file
[07:25] <Earthpig> question: is it possible to make WINE run an app i already have installed on my windows partition...?
[07:25] <MatthewV> Felonious, to the current directory i believe
[07:25] <marvin__> umm i forgot where though
[07:25] <Felonious> yup
[07:25] <simi_> tc111, sorry , my child unplug the modem
[07:26] <Felonious> you are right
[07:26] <negge> Earthpig: you can try moving all the program files to your Wine folder and run it
[07:26] <ianm_> anyone know how to record music instead of the mic in recordmydesktop ?
[07:26] <l1f3> negge: if i press Alt+F1. gdm still running. is there anyway i can disable it from starting?
[07:26] <Flannel> !bum | l1f3
[07:26] <negge> l1f3: you can close GDM manually or you can boot in recovery mode
[07:26] <Felonious> MatthewV is there anyway I can change it to always be in /usr/src/ ?
[07:26] <Flannel> Don't boot into recovery mode.
[07:26] <xiaofeng> h
[07:26] <marvin__> ahh, I guess no one uses eclipse anymore :(
[07:27] <simi_> what command is running when i double clck the cdrom icon? i want to run it in the terminal and see more details?
[07:27] <marvin__> wait
[07:28] <marvin__> you mean on your mac
[07:28] <marvin__> waita miniute
[07:28] <marvin__> do you have a gui for your ubuntu?
[07:28] <MatthewV> Felonious, you can do a "svn co [url] /usr/src/" i think, but I've not come across a way to tell it to always go there...
[07:28] <marvin__> like kde or gnome?
[07:28] <Shaba2> grrr
[07:28] <Shaba2> ok folkes
[07:28] <marvin__> nvmd
[07:28] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i ran a check with gparted and got: Bad FAT: unterminated chain for \VIRTUA~1
[07:28] <xiaofeng> hi
[07:28] <Felonious> I think you can EXPORT something to have it
[07:28] <Shaba2> I followed the instruction at http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html
[07:29] <Shaba2> to set up a vnc server on my xubuntu machine
[07:29] <Wispring> I am trying so set-up vstpd(ftp server) with anonymous log-in, download only, no success so far, I may need to do port forwarding, not sure, any help would be appreciated
[07:29] <Shaba2> I can now connect to it from ny windwos machine
[07:29] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, yeh like i said I think it's a corrupted file system or boot sector, fsck should be able to fix that but you just need to be careful with it....
[07:29] <Shaba2> but all I get is a blank grey screen
[07:29] <negge> Wispring: if you want your clients to connect in passive mode (which you most probably want to) you'll have to open port 21
[07:30] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: fsck gives me this: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[07:30] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:30] <Wispring> negge...thank you ...how do I do that?
[07:30] <Ziroday> what is a good tool to convert a video into a 640x480 resolution?
[07:30] <cabrioleur> Ziroday, I use avidemux for everything :-)
[07:30] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, yep, you can start fsck.vfat with the -a option to tell it to repair... but that's where I said I'd be careful, cause that does involve modifying the data on the drive then
[07:30] <simi_> tc111, i remember that i had the same error when i try to open an usb stick, the icon appeared in computer , but the same error, canot mount file/unable to mount ocation  no ther details
[07:31] <Ziroday> cabrioleur: hmm okay, I tried it but couldn't work out how to do anything
[07:31] <Hermes> I have a strange problem
[07:31] <Hermes> With Pidgin
[07:31] <Hermes> Help please
[07:31] <Flannel> !enter | Hermes
[07:31] <MTecknology> !ask Hermes
[07:32] <MTecknology> !ask > Hermes
[07:32] <tc111> !ask | Hermes
[07:32] <Hermes> Anyone?
[07:32] <hans-solo> where I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. Does anyone have a clue?
[07:32] <MTecknology> tc111, i think i beat you to it...
[07:32] <MatthewV> Felonious, there is a config file stored in ~/.subversion/config - i'm trying to see if there's an option in there
[07:32] <Hermes> Sorry for not asking question in one line
[07:32] <tc111> MTecknology: damn that lag time...
[07:33] <hans-solo> \NickServ
[07:33] <MTecknology> Hermes, ask the question
[07:33] <Hermes> Ok
[07:33] <simi_> Hermes,  ? what is the problem?
[07:33] <Flannel> Felonious: It doesn't have a default, it does it whereever you ask it to.
[07:34] <Hermes> I have a friend called Raghav, he is apparently logged in. But, for some reason, I keep getting the message "you bored at school??????" OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
[07:34] <Earthpig> probably on his end, hermes
[07:34] <Hermes> A few hundred times now. I rang him up and he claims not to be doing it.
[07:34] <MTecknology> Hermes, are you getting the message from him?
[07:34] <Earthpig> tell him to restart
[07:34] <MTecknology> virus
[07:34] <Earthpig> he a windows user?
[07:34] <Hermes> Yes, but I know he wouldn't do it so many times
[07:35] <Hermes> Yes, hes booting into Ubuntu now
[07:35] <MTecknology> Hermes, if it stops, he probably has a virus
[07:35] <Hermes> Yeah I thought that might be the case.
[07:35] <Earthpig> if the shit still happens when he stopped windows, tell him to change his password while using a diff computer/boot partition
[07:35] <MTecknology> Hermes, that's normally the cause in that situation.
[07:35] <Hermes> But I noticed something.
[07:36] <Earthpig> and then, if it starts again when he starts windows again.. then, ya, he has spyware on his windows partition
[07:36] <Hermes> Occasionally, instead of the normal message, a V would be sent
[07:36] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: the official icq client was cracked recently as well
[07:36] <Hermes> So maybe somebody is pasting the message with control+v
[07:36] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: i get this when running that: Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
[07:36] <WhoNeedszzz> FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
[07:36] <Hermes> Its a little disturbing I must say
[07:36] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: yeah, windows is like that
[07:36] <evilbug> someone sent me a message earlier on another channel but my view doesn't go that far back. i also can't spot the message in the log, is there an easy way to spot it?
[07:37] <Felonious> ok thanks Flannel and MatthewV
[07:37] <Hermes> He was using Vista, but now it's stopped. Maybe his computer is being restarted now.
[07:37] <montpelie> hi everybody
[07:38] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, try with the -r option, that should interactively repair it...
[07:38] <Hermes> Hi
[07:38] <WhoNeedszzz> MatthewV: tried that
[07:38] <MTecknology> !hi > Hermes
[07:38] <MatthewV> WhoNeedszzz, otherwise you probably need someone who knows more about fsck (or google)...
[07:38] <montpelie> does anybody know an application similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro, so I can modify and convert PDF documents?
[07:38] <WhoNeedszzz> !hi | Hermes
[07:39] <MatthewV> I think Hermes was actually saying hi to montpelie
[07:39] <howlingmadhowie> Hermes: people tell me that there are other times when vista stops than when it's being restarted
[07:39] <rainwalker> montpelie: all I know of are evince and kpdf, but I don't know if they have all the features you want
[07:39] <Hermes> Okay
[07:40] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: there's an application called pdfedit in the repos, if i remember correctly
[07:40] <Hermes> I suspect Vista is the problem
[07:40] <maharajji> don't dump on Vista I use it as we speak in WM-ware and I love it
[07:40] <jussi01> !info pdfedit | montpelie
[07:40] <Hermes> I suppose he should do a virus scan
[07:40] <Hercules> i finally installed ubuntu
[07:40] <Hercules> but when the dual booter came up
[07:40] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: a herculean task
[07:40]  * rainwalker high-fives Hermes
[07:40] <rainwalker> Hercules sorry
[07:40] <Hercules> it gaves me a shell
[07:41] <Hercules> BusyBo
[07:41] <Shaba2> hmmm
[07:41] <JoCo> hey guys im on my windows partition right now but how do I install wireless drivers for my pc? (I have an aetheros card)
[07:41] <Shaba2> ok now I get a connection
[07:41] <Shaba2> and get to the desktop
[07:41] <Shaba2> or as you say workspace
[07:41] <Shaba2> but its the wrong workspace
[07:41] <rainwalker> JoCo: if you mean wireless drivers in ubuntu, atheros chipsets should be detected automatically
[07:41] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:41] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: that happens when something goes wrong in the boot procedure after the kernel is running
[07:41] <montpelie> ok, I'm  actually giving pdfedit a shot right now, but the computer gets to slow
[07:42] <Hercules> howlingmadhowie, is it because my cd is on?
[07:42] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: there's also an add-on for ooo3 out there
[07:42] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: what do you mean when you say that your cd is 'on'?
[07:42] <JoCo> rainwalker, they were at first but i installed nvidia drivers and changed xorg a little bit and it worked fine until one random reboot made the wireless stop working
[07:42] <Hercules> i meant, it is in
[07:43] <Hercules> it keeps doing it
[07:43] <montpelie> ooo3?, what's that bro?
[07:43] <joseph> Can somebody help me with installing GTK 2.x themes?
[07:43] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: as long as you're booting from the harddrive, it shouldn't matter if there's a cd in the drive or not
[07:43] <Hercules> well
[07:43] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: openoffice.org vs 3
[07:43] <rainwalker> JoCo: is there anything about atheros drivers in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[07:43] <Hercules> i installed it from vista
[07:43] <justin__> Is anyone here using xChat? I need some assistance.
[07:43] <rainwalker> joseph: what do you need help with?
[07:43] <Hermes> I'm using Xchat
[07:43] <JoCo> rainwalker, I dont know Id have to check
[07:43] <afallenhope> mencoder MYFILE.AVI -fps 29.97 -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ vcodec=mjpeg -oac pcm -vf scale -zoom -xy 512 -o WIIFRMT.avi
[07:43] <joseph> I recieved a text type of document when I downloaded a theme
[07:44] <joseph> Im not sure what to do with it.
[07:44] <afallenhope> anyone know what I get an issues?
[07:44] <afallenhope> -s
[07:44] <JoCo> brb
[07:44] <jussi01> !anyone | justin__
[07:44] <rainwalker> joseph: text? that's odd...where did you get the theme from?
[07:44] <joseph> Gnome look
[07:44] <jscinoz> Hey guys, im working on a number of packages, and i've run into a problem with cowbuilder, basically i cannot run multiple instances of it simultaneously as it gets dpkg admin directory locked errors, any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
[07:44] <susa> hello all
[07:44] <rainwalker> joseph: URL?
[07:44] <Hercules> howlingmadhowie, could it be a bad install?
[07:44] <joseph> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ClearlooksLondon?content=84094
[07:45] <jussi01> jscinoz: better to ask that in #ubuntu-motu
[07:45] <jscinoz> alright thanks jussi01
[07:45] <susa> could someone please tell me how to activate 4 sides of the cube in compiz
[07:45] <montpelie> haha ok thanks for the info
[07:45] <SiegeX> what does 'upstart' read to know which rc* file to call upon boot inside the /etc/event.d/ dir?
[07:45] <rainwalker> joseph: I'll check it out, hang ib
[07:45] <rainwalker> hang on*
[07:45] <susa> i only see 2 workspaces
[07:45] <joseph> Thank you ^_^
[07:45] <SiegeX> susa: go to the general section
[07:45] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: oh, you used this method of installing ubuntu inside a windows partition. never used it myself, i'm afraid :( you could try booting again and when it says 'grub starting in 3 seconds, press escape to cancel' press escape, and edit the top option in the list (with 'e') to remove 'quiet' and 'splash'. then boot from the option (with 'b') and try to make a note of the error messages (if there are any)
[07:45] <joseph> Susa
[07:46] <Wispring> I would like help configuring vsftpd for anonymouse login, download only. I will gladly post my conf file in a private chat for you to chk out.
[07:46] <ardeo> Can anyone give me help with a BIND problem I am having?
[07:46] <joseph> Right click on the square in the bottom right hand corner of your screen
[07:46] <joseph> Then go to prefences
[07:46] <montpelie> uhmm, do you remember the name of the add-on by any chance?, or how can I get it ?
[07:46] <rainwalker> joseph: are you talking about the grkrc file? if so, don't worry about that. All you have to do to install the theme is drag the .tar.gz you downloaded into the System > Preferences > Appearance window
[07:46] <Kelen> ﻿[Q] i found i could not click ed2k link with Mldonkey automatically while i finished upgraded FireFox3.0
[07:46] <Kelen> Kelen: Anyone help me? Please !
[07:46] <Rat409> !upstart | SiegeX
[07:47] <joseph> Let me try ^_^
[07:47] <Chikubu> how can i add a start up commands for all users before and after x starts
[07:47] <Hercules> grub never word
[07:47] <Hercules> i had to use BCDeasy
[07:47] <Hercules> *worked never word
[07:47] <Hercules> im going to reinstall it
[07:47] <Hercules> but this time outside the partition
[07:47] <howlingmadhowie> montpelie: you'll need to install ooo3 first. then the add-on is at the official ooo addon site, as far as i know (never used it myself, but i read something about it at lxer.com)
[07:47] <susa> ok tha thankyou, could you please tell me how you can rotate the cube amd zoom in and out of it
[07:47] <MatthewV> joseph, the file you downloaded should have been called 84094-clearlookslondon.tar.gz - just drag that onto the theme list in System -> Preferences -> Appearance to install it
[07:47] <joseph> I did. Thanks
[07:48] <joseph> But how come i still have default
[07:48] <joseph> Ubuntu symbol
[07:48] <rainwalker> joseph: that depends on the icon theme
[07:48] <joseph> Oh, I see.
[07:48] <joseph> Would I search under icons to change that?
[07:48] <howlingmadhowie> Hercules: in most cases i've seen, the user has been returned to a busybox shell because a necessary partition couldn't be mounted
[07:48] <rainwalker> susa: install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager", then go to system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[07:49] <Shaba2> this is confusing
[07:49] <simi_> is there a process that automounts cd or usb drive when are inserted? maybe this service/proces is not started
[07:49] <MatthewV> joseph, yep, that theme only changes the window controls, you'll have to change the other stuff yourself
[07:49] <rainwalker> joseph: just my personal preference, but I recommend the Oxygen Refit 2 icons
[07:49] <jussi01> Hercules: you just installed and are geting busybox? if so, what is your gfx hw?
[07:49] <Shaba2> I used a windows vnc client to log into an xubuntu machine
[07:49] <negge> simi_: they should be mounted automatically
[07:49] <joseph> Oh wow
[07:49] <joseph> Those are nice
[07:50] <joseph> To install them, is it the same concept? Drag and drop?
[07:50] <Shaba2> but what I am seeing on my windows vnc viewer look nothing like what is on the xubuntu laptop which is right across the room from me
[07:50] <rainwalker> simi_: all of that mounting stuff will be under "preferred applications", "removable drives and media", and "file management" in system > preferences
[07:50] <montpelie> alrighty howling
[07:50] <justin__> !anyone | justin__
[07:50] <rainwalker> joseph: yep, drag and drop
[07:50] <montpelie> already got ooo3 installed
[07:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I just partitioned a drive and now when trying to mount the first partition i get this: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock. Why is this?
[07:50] <SiegeX> Rat409: thanks, ive been to that page but it doesnt really talk about the particulars for what ubuntu calls after init loads
[07:50] <joseph> Thanks a lot.
[07:50] <hans-solo> hi I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. Does anyone have a clue?
[07:50] <montpelie> let me look for the proper add-on
[07:50] <howlingmadhowie> Shaba2: can you specify?
[07:50] <montpelie> thanks for the info
[07:50] <rainwalker> joseph: no problem :)
[07:51] <jussi01> !fixres | hans-solo
[07:51] <navetz_> is there a good gui video converter I can download somewhere?
[07:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Is there a way to force a mount?
[07:51] <jussi01> !info avidemux | navetz_
[07:51] <rainwalker> navetz_: install the package "ffmpeg" and then google WinFF
[07:51] <jussi01> navetz_: also does conversion iirc
[07:52] <navetz_> jussi01: can it open ogg files?
[07:52] <navetz_> rainwalker: is winff in the repos?
[07:52] <jussi01> navetz_: I beleive so
[07:52] <rainwalker> navetz_: no, but it's a simple download
[07:52] <jussi01> navetz_: vlc also does conversions
[07:52] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: my first bet would be that the built in monitor is not telling the truth about its capabilities so the xserver is assuming it's very limited. you can set things like VertRefresh and HorizSync in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf explicitly. if you have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log you may see lots of lines like 'frequency not supported', which would suggest this problem
[07:52] <JoCoProductions> rainwalker, there are no installed drivers it says
[07:52] <SiegeX> looks like upstart calls /etc/event.d/rcS on startup
[07:52] <navetz_> jussi01: oh it does?
[07:52] <joseph> Rainwalker, Where exactly do I drop the icon package?
[07:53] <hans-solo> I tried that the system crashed
[07:53] <jussi01> navetz_: yes, have a look in the "wizard"
[07:53] <rainwalker> joseph: in system > preferences > appearance
[07:53] <justin__> What is this Ubotta thing?
[07:53] <erdem_> #ubuntu-tr
[07:53] <Shaba2> anyone here familiar with windwow-->ubuntu vnc packages?
[07:53] <jussi01> !bot | justin__
[07:54] <rainwalker> navetz_: here is winff: http://www.winff.org/
[07:54] <justin__> jussi01, why are you the onlyone using it? lol.
[07:54] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: the system crashed?
[07:55] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: i could understand the xserver not starting, but it shouldn't take the system down with it
[07:55] <hans-solo> it just gave a terminal window with a few [OK]
[07:55] <hans-solo> and thats about it
[07:55] <JoCoProductions> hey guys im on my windows partition right now but how do I install wireless drivers for my pc? (I have an aetheros card)
[07:55] <howlingmadhowie> hans-solo: could you log in at the terminal window?
[07:55] <joseph> Rainwalker, It says the installation failed.
[07:55] <Gigs> I upgraded to 8.04 and now I no longer have esd-style audio multiplexing.  I see pulseaudio is running but it doesn't seem to be accomplishing anything.
[07:55] <Gigs> I can't play more than one sound at a time.
[07:56]  * howlingmadhowie has gotta go to work :(
[07:56] <Hercules> if i want to change my partition after i install ubuntu
[07:56] <hans-solo> howlingmadhowie: I am logged into the terminal
[07:56] <Hercules> is that possible?
[07:57] <negge> Hercules: you mean the root partition or another one?
[07:57] <Hercules> extend it
[07:57] <hans-solo> how dow I get a users name with the colon without copy pasting and typing here?
[07:57] <Hercules> lets say
[07:57] <negge> Hercules: it can be done but you'll have to do it from a Live CD
[07:57] <Hercules> i got in vista
[07:58] <Hercules> is that the same as the install cd?
[07:58] <joseph> Rainwalker:  It says the installation failed:o
[07:59] <hans-solo> howlingmadhowie>	I am logged into Terminal window Now what?
[07:59] <Shaba2> Not that I can help you hans-solo
[07:59] <negge> Hercules: yeah. First you should back up all your files in case anything goes wrong. Then you boot with the Live CD and make sure your root partition is not mounted. Under System --> Administration there's a tool called Partition editor. Use that to resize the partition, it's fairly simple to do.
[07:59] <Shaba2> but what are you trying to do?
[08:00] <Hercules> so, boot from the cd, and select "run ubuntu live?"
[08:00] <negge> Hercules: but if anything goes wrong you'll probably end up with a broken system, that's why you should backup all important files first
[08:00] <negge> Hercules: yeah
[08:00] <Chikubu> anyway to add startup commands for all users?
[08:00] <Hercules> seems easy
[08:00] <hans-solo>   Shaba2>	I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.
[08:01] <joseph> How come it says my Icon installation failed?
[08:01] <erpo> I have an 8.04 server sharing a printer via cupsd. How can I password protect the shared printer?
[08:01] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.  Anyone?
[08:02] <hans-solo> I have been posting this question for the last three days
[08:03] <hans-solo> Is there a problem with the question? or Am I asking something thats too silly for you guys
[08:03] <dudeperson> okay, i just got a new mp3 phone and i need a program to make my mp3's 64kbps. can anyone help me??
[08:03] <negge> hans-solo: no one dissing you, if you don't get an answer the most likely problem is that no one knows it
[08:03] <negge> hans-solo: are you using ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04?
[08:03] <erpo> hans-solo: As far as Ubuntu question askers go, you're doing all right. The only thing you could do to improve your question would be to mention some reasearch or work you've already done to try to solve the problem yourself.
[08:03] <hans-solo> oh okay
[08:03] <Flannel> hans-solo: Are you on Ubuntu?
[08:03] <remfarkas> hi all
[08:04] <remfarkas> i am trying to install packages on an offline ubuntu, with generating scripts with synaptic
[08:04] <Flannel> hans-solo: Are you on Ubuntu?
[08:05] <hans-solo> Flannel: No I still havn't figured out how to get the network running on the laptop. I am now chatting on good ol' WInXP
[08:05] <remfarkas> to do that, i would need a sources.list and the ehaders for it after apt-get update
[08:05] <joseph> I need some help
[08:05] <joseph> My icon theme wont install O_O
[08:05] <rainwalker> joseph: sorry I'm back
[08:05] <Flannel> hans-solo: no, I mean, with that box.  If so, what does `lsb_release -d` give you?
[08:06] <rainwalker> joseph: what's the problem?
[08:06] <Flannel> hans-solo: Or even if not.  What does lsb_release -d give you?
[08:06] <joseph> Oh hey
[08:06] <joseph> ^_^
[08:06] <joseph> Dunno
[08:06] <joseph> I extract the icon
[08:06] <SiegeX> !sessions | SiegeX
[08:06] <joseph> And drop it
[08:06] <FloodBot3> joseph: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:06] <rainwalker> joseph: don't extract
[08:06] <dudeperson> so no mp3 converters then eh? oh well.
[08:06] <navetz_> what is a good video codec mpeg1 2 or 4, do they make a difference?
[08:06] <hans-solo> Flannel>	it says Ubuntu 8.04
[08:07] <dudeperson> i like divx
[08:07] <rainwalker> dudeperson: install ffmpeg, and then http://www.winff.org/
[08:07] <dudeperson> thanks rainwalker
[08:07] <rainwalker> navetz_: it depends on what you're going to play it on
[08:07] <navetz_> rainwalker: how about for youtube?
[08:07] <navetz_> or possibly flash
[08:07] <joseph> Rainwalker:  The installation still fails.
[08:07] <navetz_> well flash would be fla
[08:08] <rainwalker> navetz_: when you upload to youtube, it automatically converts
[08:08] <Flannel> hans-solo: Alright, and you're sure the package is xf86-video-i810?
[08:08] <rainwalker> joseph: what are you trying to install?
[08:08] <joseph> rainwalker:  Uhm Oxygen-Refit 2
[08:09] <sandman> hi i am unable to mount my windows partition in hardy
[08:09] <sandman> inspite of using ntfs-3g
[08:09] <Chikubu> when do commands in rc.local get executed, before after login manager?  before after X starts?
[08:09] <rainwalker> joseph: from http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+Refit+2?content=79756 right?
[08:09] <navetz_> rainwalker: will youtube accept ogg files?
[08:09] <joseph> rainwalker: Correct
[08:09] <rainwalker> navetz_: I honestly have no idea...one way to find out ;D
[08:10] <hans-solo> Flannel>	no such drivers
[08:10] <rainwalker> joseph: and dragging that .tar.bz2 into the appearance window fails?
[08:10] <joseph> rainwalker: Yes.
[08:11] <Flannel> hans-solo: Right.  So you don't have xf86-video-i810 installed.  Which video driver do you have installed then?
[08:11] <rainwalker> joseph: hang on let me try (I've installed them already, so I don't know why it's not working for you)
[08:11] <hans-solo> how do I find out that
[08:12] <Flannel> hans-solo: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video
[08:12] <Flannel> hans-solo: (thats an L)
[08:12] <AblaThomas> can anyone help me on seting up pptp on webmin?
[08:13] <Flannel> !webmin | AblaThomas
[08:13] <hans-solo> Flannel>	whole lot of drivers
[08:14] <AblaThomas> !ebox
[08:14] <sandman> hi...is there a way to mount a windows ntfs partition other than ntfs-3g??
[08:14] <Flannel> hans-solo: alright, lets try this one: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel
[08:15] <Slart> sandman: I think there is some earlier ntfs fs module.. but it's not as good as ntfs-3g and it's read only.. what is wrong with ntfs-3g?
[08:15] <hans-solo> intel i8xx.19xx is installed
[08:15] <Kidfork> I have a .ogg file what file must i convert this into so windows movie maker will understand?
[08:16] <negge> Kidfork: MP3 probably works, or WAV
[08:16] <Slart> Kidfork: sounds like a question for someone who uses windows movie maker, right? ##windows perhaps ?
[08:16] <hans-solo> My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM
[08:16] <sandman> Slart: I am unable to access the partition...i get an error saying "You are not privileged to mount this partition"
[08:16] <negge> sandman: what kind of error do you get when trying to mount it?
[08:16] <negge> sandman: boot into Windows and restart it normally
[08:17] <negge> that should fix it
[08:17] <Kidfork> negge: WAV and MP3 are adio format .ogg is Video format
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> anyone know about sql and how to use it? sql channel sucks ^^
[08:17] <negge> if it doesn't, do a chkdsk on the Windows partition
[08:17] <sandman> at some points of time i get an error saying "Logfile indicates unclean shutdown of windows"
[08:17] <hans-solo> whats the sql issue
[08:17] <negge> Kidfork: it can be audio too.
[08:17] <sandman> so there's clearly a problem with my windows installation
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> i need to receive a Formatted SQL Query result
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> directly through SQL
[08:17] <[LMM]Iowahc> qry?
[08:17] <rainwalker> joseph: I get that same error
[08:17] <negge> Kidfork: atleast I thought it was. If it's video it's a different issue. Try downloading some OGG to AVI converter or something for Windows and convert it there
[08:17] <Slart> sandman: either use "sudo" when you mount it... or if that's not the problem, use the --force option, !ntfs for more info
[08:18] <rainwalker> joseph: just a sec
[08:18] <hans-solo> Formatted SQL query ?
[08:18] <sandman> hmm...will try it..thanks Slart
[08:18] <negge> sandman: just reboot to windows before you try using --force (but try with sudo first if you didn't do that already)
[08:18] <hans-solo> you mena like SELECT * from table where id=xyz
[08:18] <[LMM]Iowahc> nono
[08:18] <[LMM]Iowahc> one moment
[08:18] <joaopinto> Kidfork, try avidemux, it's a video conversion uility available on the repos
[08:18] <Hercules> im trying to install ndiswrpper
[08:19] <Hercules> it says couldnt find packge
[08:19] <sandman> negge: My windows is corrupted...i cannot see the desktop on login...and i want a way to backup my data before i format the partition
[08:19] <hans-solo> how dow I get a users name with the colon without copy pasting and typing here?
[08:19] <[LMM]Iowahc> yep, i need SELECT title, artist.name ... displayed as [Title] - [Artist] as result
[08:19] <Kelen> Why it is not worked while i typed " C-a d" in screen mode?
[08:19] <rainwalker> joseph: try extracting the .tar.bz2 to your .icons folder in your home directory
[08:19] <Kidfork> joaopinto: im tryed them all cinelerra, avidemux, kdenlive, pitivi, but nothing seems to fit my needs
[08:19] <joseph> rainwalker: Alright
[08:19] <joaopinto> Kidfork, :(
[08:19] <hans-solo> phpmyadmin does that for you
[08:20] <hans-solo> Flannel>	any luck?
[08:20] <rainwalker> joseph: to see the hidden folders in the "Extract to" window do control + h
[08:20] <joseph> rainwalker: that worked, haha thanks a lot ^_^
[08:20] <hans-solo> irc://freenode/%5bLMM%5dIowahc,isnick
[08:20] <hans-solo> sorry
[08:20] <rainwalker> joseph: no problem...I really don't know why it does that, it's never happened to me before
[08:20] <hans-solo> trying to figureout this IRC thing
[08:20] <remfarkas> would someone give me a working sources.list and the headers for it?
[08:20] <Hermes> Can someone help me with SSH?
[08:21] <joaopinto> !ask | Hermes
[08:21] <[LMM]Iowahc> hans-solo, i need it to get as result directly, got no interface for it, only a parser which prints the array line per line
[08:21] <Kidfork> Does anybody know the mencoder code to convert .ogg to WMV
[08:21] <Hercules> im trying to install ndiswrpper, but it says cannot find package
[08:21] <Hermes> Want to connect to a computer with SSH, not sure what the usage is
[08:21] <joaopinto> Hercules, it's ndiswrapper
[08:21] <[LMM]Iowahc> sql channel woke up, thx anyway hans-solo
[08:22] <Hercules> thats what i meant
[08:22] <joaopinto> Hercules, ssh user@host
[08:22] <Hercules> my line is: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-
[08:22] <Hermes> I used ssh ipaddress account@hostname... didnt work
[08:22] <rainwalker> Kidfork: what are you trying to do?
[08:22] <Hermes> can someone help?
[08:22] <Kidfork> rainwalker: convert a .ogg file to WMV
[08:22] <hans-solo> \j sql
[08:22] <joaopinto> Hermes, do you have opeenssh-server installed and running on the other end ?
[08:22] <Hermes> Yeah
[08:22] <joaopinto> what error do you get ?
[08:23] <Hermes> I can confirm that
[08:23] <rainwalker> Kidfork: install the package ffmpeg, then get winff from www.winff.org
[08:23] <joaopinto> is your ssh server behind a home router ?
[08:23] <Hermes> Not sure
[08:24] <Hermes> There's someone who has installed the openssh server on his computer, he has an account, has given me the password, and I know his IP address
[08:24] <Hermes> I can connect, right?
[08:24] <ardeo> Is anyone here familiar with BIND?
[08:24] <remfarkas> i would need a sources.list and the header files for it to use an offline ubuntu
[08:24] <DJones> Hermes: This page has some useful info on ssh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto ssh user@ipaddress
[08:24] <joaopinto> assuming there is connectivty to it yes, if you can't then it is either shutdown or there is no network to it
[08:24] <Hermes> OK
[08:25] <Hercules> this is weird
[08:25] <joaopinto> can you ping it on the first place ?
[08:25] <dudeperson> ok i got winff and when i click on convert it says it cant open anything
[08:25] <Hercules> it still says it couldnt find package, but i installed it on the live version, now its installed onto the hdd, what is wrong?
[08:26] <negge> Hercules: what are you installing?
[08:26] <joaopinto> if you installed it using the ivelcd, it's not installed on your hdd
[08:26] <bazhang> Hercules, installing it on the live version will be lost once you reboot
[08:26] <Hercules> i know
[08:26] <joaopinto> live
[08:26] <Hercules> but now i actually installed ubuntu to a partition
[08:27] <joseph> How do I go about changing the Ubuntu Menu sign to a image of my choice?
[08:27] <bazhang> !usplash
[08:27] <SiegeX> does ubuntu come with a 256-color capable terminal?
[08:28] <Hermes> I'll deal with this SSH business some other time
[08:28] <Hermes> Bye
[08:29] <dudeperson> is there anything similar to the k-lite codec pack or will that work with ubuntu
[08:29] <microwaver> Anyone experienced a decrease of your performance since the upgrade to 8.04 ?
[08:29] <joaopinto> !codecs
[08:29] <bazhang> dudeperson, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:29] <dudeperson> i got all the restricted stuff i think
[08:29] <bazhang> then medibuntu.org dudeperson
[08:30] <dudeperson> ok
[08:30] <navetz_> is there a way to tell if my cd rom writing laser is broken?
[08:30] <bazhang> ##hardware navetz_
[08:30] <SiegeX> who do I report a bug/unknown feature to? It turns out that gnome-terminal actually does support 256 colors but the terminal codes in /usr/share/terminal/x/ doesnt have one for xterm-256color.  So I ssh'd into my slackware box, copied over the xterm-256color file ran my 256-color shell script test and it worked
[08:31] <bazhang> !bugs | SiegeX
[08:31] <SiegeX> thanks
[08:31] <Hercules> i really dont get this
[08:31] <bazhang> np
[08:31] <esac> how can i tell which version of nvidia driver i have installed ?
[08:31] <Hercules> what am i doing wrong?
[08:31] <joaopinto> esac, dpkg -l nvidia-glx-new (assuming you are using the closed source driver)
[08:32] <esac> i installed it from envyng
[08:32] <Hercules> i type sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common but it says package not found
[08:32] <Hercules> do i need to download the package?
[08:32] <remfarkas> u need a good sources.list then run apt-get update
[08:33] <joaopinto> Hercules, do you have the universe repository enabled ?
[08:33] <joaopinto> !repos | Hercules
[08:33] <Hercules> joaopinto, how would i know?
[08:34] <joaopinto> Hercules, go to the Software Properties menu entry
[08:34] <bazhang> Hercules, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and take a look if there are # marks in front of it
[08:34] <joseph> How do i enter my icon directory?
[08:34] <Gere> Hey, what's a good way to track, and count, bandwidth from a ip adress ?
[08:35] <Hercules> joaopinto, which tab?
[08:35] <Hercules> Community-maintained ope source software is checked
[08:36] <joseph> How do I enter my icon directory folder? /usr/share/icons/
[08:36] <joaopinto> jose__, from the terminal or usint nautlius ?
[08:37] <joseph> Joanopinto: I enter that into the terminal, I need to place a file in one of the folders.. Idunno how
[08:37] <remfarkas> with mc?
[08:37] <joaopinto> jose__, so you want: sudp cp source_file destination
[08:37] <joaopinto> i mean joseph
[08:37] <joaopinto> sudo
[08:37] <Shaba2> anyone here familiar with windwow-->ubuntu vnc packages?
[08:38] <joseph> Joanopinto: So use that followed by the destination?
[08:38] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager.
[08:38] <hans-solo> on typing dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel , I find that intel i8xx.19xx is installed.
[08:38] <joaopinto> Shaba2, window vnc packages ??? could you be more clear ?
[08:38] <FuRom> Anyone in here know anything about ettercap, and filters? I can't make the remove() function work, at all. I also can't inject packets.
[08:38] <zhangy> can anyone show me website about how to write window manager?
[08:38] <Shaba2> I am using ultra vnc to connect to and xubuntu machine
[08:38] <zhangy> pls
[08:39] <Shaba2> I used this web page
[08:39] <Gere> joseph: If you want to make /usr/share/icons/ , "cd /usr/share/icons" cd for change directory
[08:39] <joaopinto> zhangy, with all respect but you need to have a hughe experize to write a windows manager
[08:39] <Shaba2> I followed the instruction at http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html
[08:39] <joaopinto> Gere, he just wants to copy a file over there
[08:39] <Shaba2> to set up vnc on the xubuntu machine
[08:39] <zhangy> thanks joaopinto
[08:40] <Shaba2> but what I am seeing here on the windows screen is not what I see on the actual xubuntu laptop
[08:40] <Gere> oh, well listen to them ^^
[08:40] <Shaba2> does that explain it>
[08:40] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, What do you see then?
[08:40] <hans-solo> Where is the xorg.conf in the file system?
[08:40] <FuRom> T_T
[08:40] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Perhaps upload a screenshot?
[08:41] <Shaba2> Its like its a whole different desktop
[08:41] <negge> hans-solo: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:41] <FuRom> Anyone know a good way to filter packets that are incoming?
[08:41] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, When you connected with your VNC client, did it prompt you to login with a username and password?
[08:41] <Shaba2> and I do not know how to take screen shots of a linux machine so without screen shots of both it would be useless to upload what I am seeing on the windows side only
[08:41] <negge> FuRom: you can use wireshark
[08:42] <Shaba2> yes it did
[08:42] <Shaba2> i used my root pw
[08:42] <Hercules> Windows Wireless Drivers...do i double click that to install it?? I am in the Add/Remove Applications.
[08:42] <Kartagis> i apt-get install'd a package, but it didn't install a menu item. how come? getdeb.net said it would be under Applications>Sound&Video
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, There you have it :D
[08:42] <gramm> anybody having problems with eclipse 3.4?  when i try to launch it, it just pops up a blank dialog box (with no controls)...
[08:42] <Gere> "/etx/X11/xorg.conf"
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, It's just the way you configured VNC
[08:42] <FuRom> negge, I got it, but I can't find any useful info on it, can you hook me up with some links?
[08:42] <Shaba2> there I have what?
[08:42] <Shaba2> you think you coudl be a bit more specific
[08:42] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Instead of showing you the current user's session, it gets you to login and creates a NEW session.
[08:43] <KRF> Kartagis, dpkg -L <pkg> | grep /bin
[08:43] <Gere> use "locate word, or mlocate word" to search for word
[08:43] <Shaba2> Ok how do I correct that
[08:43] <Gere> in this case, "locate xorg.conf, or , mlocate xorg.conf"
[08:43] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, I think there's already a VNC server that comes with Ubuntu.
[08:43] <negge> FuRom: are you on hardy or gutsy? The new xorg.conf in hardy doesn't contain much useful info
[08:43] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, I believe it's called "vino"
[08:43] <FuRom> negge, hardy
[08:44] <zhangy> we have a project, i am  responsible for writing a small window manager
[08:44] <Shaba2> yeah  I tried that
[08:44] <Shaba2> no luck getting it to run
[08:44] <negge> FuRom: okay. What are you trying to change?
[08:44] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, And what was the problem?
[08:44] <Shaba2> remember I said Xubuntu
[08:45] <FuRom> negge, I'm trying to just block whispers from being received in myspace chat.
[08:45] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, What, it doesn't have vino?
[08:45] <yurimxpxman> what's an easy way to rename mp3 files according to their tags?
[08:45] <zhangy> i dont know how to do that,and  my boss didnt give me any idea.
[08:45] <dudeperson> ok the codecs didnt work or do i need to reboot
[08:45] <FuRom> negge, I just realized why I couldn't "capture" with wireshark, I had to run it as root. LMAO!
[08:45] <QAH> i am having trouble booting pclinuxos from my external hard drive. can someone help me with it?
[08:46] <danhm> I've got a question about bash scripting: is there any easy way to get yesterday's date? date %F - 1 or something?
[08:46] <hans-solo> I am looking at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It does not mention where I can change the resolution
[08:46] <Kartagis> KRF: /usr/bin/nted
[08:46] <Shaba2> Not that I can see Adlai
[08:46] <KRF> Kartagis, run that one ;)
[08:46] <zhangy> i have google a lot, but i havent found  some useful thing.
[08:47] <hans-solo> Does Linux support Intel graphic cards?
[08:47] <Kartagis> KRF: what about the menu item?
[08:47] <joaopinto> zhangy, if you didn't found on google, you are not going to find it here
[08:47] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, try running /usr/lib/vino/vino-server in a terminal
[08:47] <Shaba2> "bash vino: command not found"
[08:47] <KRF> Kartagis, dont know. maybe you have to create one for yourself
[08:47] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, Yes, there are drivers for intel cards.
[08:47] <joaopinto> anyway, are you sure you want a "windows manage" could you described what is your goal from a functional perspective ?
[08:47] <hans-solo> I cannot get resolution higher than 800X600 on my ACER laptop. My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM linux. xf86-video-i810 is installed when I checked synaptic manager. on typing dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel , I find that intel i8xx.19xx is installed.
[08:47] <Shaba2> from the actual keyboard of the xubuntu machine Adlai?
[08:48] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, on the Ubuntu machine. And if you are using xchat (or another IRC client), you can use tab-nick-completion. ie. Aha<tab>
[08:48] <IceGuest_75> Anyone ever have any luck getting the s-video out to work on a laptop with ATI Mobility X1400?
[08:48] <zhangy> joaopinto,  can you help me?
[08:48] <Ahadiel> Shaba2, Or Xubuntu* rather
[08:48] <mjreagle> isn't there a text file somewhere you can edit to get the higher resolutions if a video driver can't be successfully found?
[08:49] <Slart> !res | mjreagle
[08:49] <Shaba2> Nope rigght now I am on my windwos machine
[08:49] <Shaba2> using mirc
[08:49] <Shaba2> hold on
[08:49] <DialMan> WTF is with the huge amount of joins/quits/timeouts in here.
[08:49] <Gere> flooding
[08:49] <mjreagle> oh, im sorry, im fine, i was just trying to add something useful to the questions that one guy was having about higher resolutions
[08:50] <zhangy> i have done some coding with gtk+, but i dont know where to go
[08:50] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: couldn't find any that actually works
[08:50] <Slart> mjreagle: ah.. nevermind then =)
[08:50] <danieroux> DialMan, I just installed X-Chat, launched it and automatically got connected here. I wasn't heading here, so see later :-)
[08:50] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, What card do you have?
[08:50] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: My graphic card is intel 82852/855GM
[08:50] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to set the wxwidgets variable in code::blocks?
[08:51] <QAH> why won't my pclinuxos Boot from my external hard drive?
[08:51] <Ahadiel> hans-solo, and the "intel" driver did not work for you?
[08:51] <Slart> zhangy: this channel is about ubuntu support.. there are other channels.. try to find a place that discusses programming.. or perhaps even window-managers
[08:52] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: nope
[08:52] <zhangy> ok, Slart,  thank you very much
[08:52] <hans-solo> Ahadiel: I cannot change to a higher resolution
[08:52] <remfarkas> i need a sources.list and the packages list after apt-get update in /var/lib/apt/lists/
[08:53] <zhangy> i will back later
[08:53] <Hercules> now that is just weird
[08:53] <hans-solo> where can I see the properties of the Intel Driver
[08:54] <negge> remfarkas: sources.list for hardy or gutsy?
[08:55] <remfarkas> hardy
[08:55] <negge> remfarkas: hold on a second I'll upload it somewhere for you
[08:56] <Hercules> errors, errors, erros
[08:56] <remfarkas> thx, from a houndred ppl someone is not ignoring me
[08:56] <negge> remfarkas: http://neggelandia.dyndns.org/upload/files/sources.list
[08:56] <hans-solo> where can I see the properties of the Intel Driver
[08:56] <hans-solo> where can I see the properties of the Intel Video Driver
[08:56] <mjreagle> sorry, not ignoring (was distracted by tv)(plus im no help... im here to learn)
[08:57] <negge> damn it took atleast 1 hour to update gutsy on my EEE
[08:57] <remfarkas> could u check your packages list also, negge?
[08:58] <remfarkas> i would need that also
[08:58] <negge> remfarkas: okay
[08:58] <Hercules> i hope i got it
[08:58] <AblaThomas> any help on ebox openvpn?
[08:59] <negge> remfarkas: what should I do with them?
[08:59] <remfarkas> is that many files?
[08:59] <negge> remfarkas: 20-30
[08:59] <negge> should I upload them?
[08:59] <remfarkas> i would need them also, to use for offline upgrade
[09:00] <negge> remfarkas: alright, hold on a sec
[09:00] <remfarkas> that would be nice
[09:01] <andrea> mmm
[09:01] <andrea> mmm
[09:02] <negge> remfarkas: http://neggelandia.dyndns.org/upload/files/lists/ there you go, wgeting the whole directory should work
[09:02] <remfarkas> thx
[09:02] <negge> no problem
[09:02] <remfarkas> i think i still have win-get
[09:02] <negge> I don't want to upgrade my kernel but I keep getting the notice that there are updates available, how do I check which ones it shouldn't remind me of?
[09:02] <Hercules> sorry to nag you guys
[09:03] <Hercules> but my wifi finally works (yay!)
[09:03] <Hercules> but why dont i see blue bars?
[09:03] <osthyvel> Hey, has anyone had problems installing i386 version of Ubuntu 8.04 on a computer with x64 CPU (E7200 to be specific)? The x64 versions works perfect but i need the 32 bit version to run XBMC.
[09:04] <Shaba2> Ahadiel
[09:04] <osthyvel> It hangs before the installation progress begins.
[09:04] <Shaba2> I found /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[09:05] <Shaba2> but when I type vino-server into a terminal window I get the same message
[09:05] <Shaba2> "bash vino-server: no such command"
[09:05] <remfarkas> negge, u can disable it somewhere in the menu
[09:06] <negge> remfarkas: which menu?
[09:06] <remfarkas> i am currently under win and i dont know well the new gnome and kde menu but i found it somewhere
[09:07] <remfarkas> in administration maybe, dunno
[09:08] <the_hardy_kid> does anyone know of some good themes?
[09:09] <crimsaq> Stoner
[09:10] <the_hardy_kid> wtf?
[09:10] <Pie-rate> ﻿is there a command that increases/decreases the volume in gnome, and displays the volume bar thing (like what happens when you hit the volume up/down keys)? i know i can do it with amixer but i want the volume bar.
[09:10] <mjreagle> I have a hard time finding a good theme aside the stock ubuntu theme with desktop effects because if i change it, i'll change it about 20 times a week
[09:12] <microwaver> HI, I can't get any ap-get installs done anymore. Always get following problem : E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:12] <microwaver> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[09:13] <negge> microwaver: you sure you don't have any package manager running?
[09:13] <negge> I had that problem when I first started using gutsy
[09:13] <igcek> ej chaky, moze jos jedno?
[09:13] <igcek> :)
[09:13] <microwaver> negge, nope, none running
[09:14] <negge> microwaver: hmm, I can't remember how I fixed it when I had it, you'll have to google around I guess
[09:16] <erpo> igor_:

[09:26] <CanOfRats> is it possible to connect to my router through the internet from some far away place?
[09:26] <Shaba2> yeah
[09:26] <Shaba2> it should e
[09:26] <Shaba2> be
[09:26] <CanOfRats> how?
[09:27] <Shaba2> I know that cisco routers you can just telnet into them if you have the ip address
[09:27] <Shaba2> you are talking about and ubuntu server running something like ipcop I assume

[09:31] <clouder`grr> how can I see what fonts I have on ubuntu server
[09:32] <xitrox> hi... can i put the option force=1 into /etc/modules to force a module to load???
[09:34] <tyberion> hey.. urhm, ive got java 1.5.0 (gij sumthing) installed... what is the easiest way to upgrade to java 1.6.x ?? anyone knows?

[09:36] <Slart> !info gwaterfall | clouder`grr
[09:37] <karex> !info dpkg-scanpackages
[09:37] <Slart> clouder`grr: it's not really a good "search for a font"-app.. but you can browse the fonts and look at them
[09:37] <tyberion> noone can tell me :(?
[09:38] <Slart> !java | tyberion
[09:39] <tyberion> Slart, thanks :)
[09:39] <Slart> tyberion: you're welcmoe
[09:39] <leptom> hi
[09:40] <timandtom> Is there a good way to find out what temperature my CPU is currently running at? My fan, which is usually rather quiet, even after hours with me blocking it with my leg, has been really loud for the past few hours, and changes speeds every few seconds :( I'm on an HP laptop(Compaq nx6310)
[09:40] <tomolds> timandtom: more /proc/cpuinfo -- sometimes in there
[09:40] <Slart> timandtom: check out the lmsensors package
[09:41] <Slart> timandtom: there are also lots, lots and lots of little desktop apps that will show you the cpu temperature in all kinds of colorful ways
[09:41] <karex> !lmsensors
[09:41] <negge> why isn't libpcap in the repositories?
[09:41] <Slart> !info libpcap0.8
[09:41] <Slart> negge: I have no idea..
[09:41] <Slart> =)
[09:42] <negge> what the:D
[09:42] <leptom> How do I charge modules from /etc/init.d/modules.sh or /etc/modules? and why?
[09:42] <timandtom> Slart, ok, thanks, I'll look into that/those. Any suggestions? I tend to go for minimalist looks(And performance!), but anything would be nice :)
[09:42] <leptom> I prefer from /etc/modules than create a script for create modules
[09:42] <leptom> sorry
[09:43] <Pie-rate> ﻿I'm currently using "amixer sset Master 1+" to increase my volume, is there a way to do it that would show the GNOME volume bar?
[09:43] <leptom> ﻿I prefer from /etc/modules than create a script for load modules
[09:43] <tyberion> Slart: I installed sun-java6.. but still if I type java in my console its referring to 1.5.0... where is the binary of the new java stored, you happen to know?
[09:43] <Slart> timandtom: I used conky for a while.. it's nice and light
[09:43] <negge> I just Slart thanks for the hint
[09:43] <Slart> timandtom: but it uses lmsensors for the backend stuff
[09:43] <negge> I just searched for the wrong package name
[09:43] <Slart> negge: you're welcome =)
[09:43] <timandtom> Slart, mmk, is that in Synaptic?
[09:44] <cute_boy_19> hello to everyone
[09:44] <whitman> tyberion, update-alternatives --config java
[09:44] <Slart> tyberion: update-alternatives --config java
[09:44] <Slart> bah..=)
[09:44] <whitman> :P
[09:44] <Slart> timandtom: yes, it is
[09:45] <negge> !info gmp
[09:45] <Slart> timandtom: can't remember if it's called lmsensors or just sensors.. but it's there
[09:45] <negge> typical...
[09:45] <negge> Slart: you know where I can get the GMP library for kismet?
[09:45] <Slart> negge: no idea... don't even know what it is
[09:45] <timandtom> Slart, alright, thanks a bunch :) I'll try both those out.
[09:45] <negge> Slart: okay:D
[09:45] <leptom> timandtom: lm-sensors

[09:47] <karex> hi, anyone know how to set LCD brightness in Hardy? I've not found it in System > Preferences > Power Management
[09:48] <Shaba2> I do not even have that karex. with xubuntu
[09:48] <Shaba2> I am trying to figure out how I can stope my laptop from gong into powersave mode
[09:48] <XB23> guys with sudo how do i issue a command as a different user with a password so i could call it from perl?
[09:48] <XB23> sudo -i -u username  but how do i put the password in that line as well
[09:49] <karex> Shaba2: i use (gnome)ubuntu
[09:50] <karex> XB23: try sudo --help or man sudo
[09:50] <Shaba2> I assumed that
[09:50] <Shaba2> but it will not run on my laptop
[09:51] <Shaba2> it took me twelve hours of figthing with it before someone here told me to try xubuntu.
[09:51] <Shaba2> 45 minutes later it was up and running
[09:51] <slowz> can you not use sudo -u user -p password ?
[09:52] <definitely> Anyone know how to make that Sidebar in Screenlet, i pasted some screenlets into it, and it only shows things in one desktop
[09:52] <karex> Shaba2: so, the solution?
[09:53] <Shaba2> for you?
[09:53] <Shaba2> I have no idea
[09:54] <karex> i'm sorry, i've to go. thank, you.
[09:54] <Shaba2> bye
[09:55] <Slart> XB23: sudo -S makes sudo read the password from stdin instead of keyboard...
[09:55] <XB23> ah i see
[09:55] <XB23> so how would i issue it?
[09:56] <crab> hi. is there something other than update-rc.d i can use to manage my rc*.d->init.d links? (not like ntsysv, more like chkconfig.)
[09:56] <raheem> !update-rc.d
[09:57] <Slart> XB23: well.. I'm just guessing here but "echo "mypassword" | sudo bla bla bla" might work
[09:58] <Slart> XB23: sorry.. echo mypassword | sudo -S bla bla bla ... of course =)
[09:58] <crab> or... is update-rc.d actually the preferred way to manage them?
[09:58] <raheem> crab: u can use update-rc.d as u use chkconfig .. for eg.. update-rc.d <process> start 0123 stop 456
[09:59] <RonLut> Is there any way to request password when double-clicking a folder? So the folder will be password protected.
[09:59] <crab> i know how to use update-rc.d.
[09:59] <raheem> that will make that process start at runlevel 0123 and stop at 456
[09:59] <raheem> k ..
[09:59] <raheem> :)
[09:59] <miono> &/1
[10:00] <miono> Sorry
[10:00] <jords> RonLut: You can use truecrypt and make a file hosted encrypted volume, but it takes a lot more than clicking on the folder to open it...
[10:00] <Slart> RonLut: I don't think so.. either the permissions say you can't read it or you can.. but there are lots of security addons for file permissions.. there might be something out there
[10:01] <RonLut> jords&Slart: Thank you very much again ;)
[10:01] <miono> I have a small problem, tried to shutdown GDM with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" from the shell at Ctrl+Alt+F1. Everything seems to have worked out alright, but now I still get: root      6416  3.7  3.2 138452 66832 tty7     SLs+ Jun17 511:43 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
[10:01] <miono> when running 'ps aux | grep gdm'
[10:02] <jords> RonLut: A permission based solution won't prevent someone taking out your hard disk and accessing the data - so if its really important encryption is the way to go
[10:02] <raheem> crab: check this out http://boilinglinux.blogspot.com/2007/12/chkconfig-in-ubuntu.html

[10:04] <RonLut> jords: I Just need my little brother to be unable to access it... I have there some important school works that he once deleted me accidentally (He is just 6 years old)....
[10:04] <RonLut> jords: maybe can I make this folder hidden?
[10:05] <Slart> RonLut: Backups would be the answer to that.. and letting him have a login of his own
[10:06] <raheem> RonLut .. may be  make it hidden .. u can add a . (dot) to the beginning of the folder .. it will be hidden
[10:06] <jords> RonLut: Putting a . at the start of the name will make a folder or file hidden
[10:06] <Slart> RonLut: or just keep your stuff on another partition and only mount it when you're working on it
[10:07] <xitrox> hi... can i put the option force=1 into /etc/modules to force a module to load???
[10:07] <RonLut> Thank you very much everyone... I just found that in ubuntu forums.... :)
[10:08] <kurugah> hi, after installing the latest updates my wifi is gone. i tried to ifup which wouldnt work. how can i find out what updates i installed and how can i remove those updates?
[10:08] <Espy> ciao ragazzi..
[10:09] <timandtom> Slart, hey, been a bit busy the last few minutes... But I installed that lm-sensors and c something thing... Can't find em. How do I access em?
[10:09] <gronne> Is linux developing faster nowadays?
[10:09] <Slart> timandtom: run conky from a terminal
[10:09] <miono> gronne: Probably developing exponentially :)
[10:10] <remfarkas> gronne, depends on what distro
[10:10] <gronne> miono: You mean it's a dramatic development?
[10:11] <gronne> remfarkas: Sure, but Linux in general, and the kernel
[10:11] <miono> gronne: Well, since the user-base is growing, the developer-base should be growing aswell...
[10:11] <remfarkas> yup, thats the point
[10:13] <miono> gronne: there is a really fun site that tracks development of some open source projects with a cool video.
[10:13] <gronne> miono: sounds awesome :) The user-base has increased quite a lot lately, I've come to understand. I thought most of the programmers already used linux anyway, that it wouldn't make a bigger change, but I'd be thrilled if it gets greater!
[10:13] <timandtom> Slart, ah, ok. Do you know of anything like this that is just on the desktop, not a separate window? Widget, deskjet, thingy, I dunno, the damned names change every time I turn around...
[10:13] <miono> gronne: Check it out: http://www.vimeo.com/1093745
[10:13] <RonLut> How can I see my hardware temperatures easily?
[10:13] <miono> gronne: Some information about it: http://vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm/
[10:14] <miono> RonLut: you could use "sensors" if you have lm-sensors installed
[10:14] <raheem> RonLut .. install conky
[10:15] <RonLut> conky is enough? without lm-sensors...? what's the difference
[10:15] <kurugah> where are the logs of the update manager stored and how do i remove updates?
[10:15] <miono> raheem: Hm, can conky operate without lm-sensors?
[10:16] <ArrowLance> hey, i'm having a problem with screen resolution, i can't set it higher than 640x480.
[10:16] <raheem> hhm.. i haven't installed lmsensors ... but, conky does it itself or not, i am not sure
[10:16] <raheem> but, with conky, i am getting those cpu temperature + a lot
[10:16] <raheem> !conky
[10:16] <miono> raheem: Are you sure you didn't already have lm-sensors installed?
[10:17] <raheem> i didn't install it myself..
[10:17] <karl> my 8.04 doesn't see all 4 gigs of ram...how can i make it?
[10:17] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know if theres anyway to make gimp have two colour text? Like one colour outline, one colour fill?
[10:17] <RonLut> raheem: I installed conky but I don't see there temperatures. only cpu ussage and etc.
[10:18] <raheem> RonLut .. please see the ubuntuforums.org search for conkyrc
[10:18] <donda> i m not able to install any packages .it says please close another synaptic or aptitude
[10:19] <donda> ﻿i m not able to install any packages .it says please close another synaptic or aptitude
[10:19] <gronne> miono: yeah that was a pretty neat video :) I'm really eager to see linux take shares, because if the nature of linux is that it develops faster the more people use it, and it's going fast now I wonder what it'll be like when "we" have like 10-15% of the market share! That alone should make people want to switch!
[10:20] <fma243> i need help
[10:20] <fma243> i just installed ubuntu
[10:21] <fma243> and forgot to make partitions
[10:21] <toru_> od_python
[10:21] <fma243> now i want to make partitions what show i do
[10:21] <fma243> any one there
[10:21] <gronne> fma243: If you're concerned about fragmentation, it's a minor issue in linux
[10:22] <raheem> fma243: install gparted
[10:22] <fma243> i dont have any problem with fragment tation
[10:22] <fma243> where can i get gparted
[10:22] <raheem> in the System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[10:22] <fma243> because there is only one file systm which is full of files it tends to get annoying seeing all those files i want a clean hard start
[10:23] <fw0127_s> why usb-live disk leads to busy-box, hardy?
[10:23] <gronne> fma243: that's a good enough reason. Haven't tried gparted, but give it a go
[10:24] <miono> Gparted is very easy if you dislike fdisk, it's a good pick.
[10:24] <raheem> fma243: gparted is the gnome partitioner . u can remove / add / expand partitions
[10:24] <pavan> does anyone know how to use google desktop gadgets on ubuntu 8.04?
[10:25] <pavan> hello pl help me here
[10:25] <raheem> pavan: no idea :(
[10:26] <fw0127_s> why usb-live disk leads to busy-box, hardy?
[10:26] <RonLut> raheem: I didn't find there something that explains me how to see temp.:\
[10:26] <fma243> btw i am still using ubuntu 7.04 how much data will i have to download to upgrade to 8.04
[10:26] <remfarkas> for me usb workscorrect
[10:26] <remfarkas> on hardy
[10:28] <raheem> RonLut: wait. .. let me give u the links
[10:28] <miono> RonLut: have you checked conky.sourceforge.net ? There you can see all variables that can be used in conky.
[10:29] <fw0127_s> rem: i use usb as boot-up disk,but after show the screen, then it stops at the commandline windwon with the initrams tools
[10:29] <shishirm1> hey guys how to install firefox 3 in ubuntu 7.04
[10:29] <remfarkas> pff.. i didnot use ubuntu on usb yet
[10:30] <remfarkas> with adept
[10:30] <erUSUL> fma243: you will have to do 7.04-->7.10-->8.04 and the data depends on the apps you have installed
[10:30] <pavan> what does tar.gz means
[10:30] <fw0127_s> what?
[10:30] <gronne> shishirm1: What's the problem? should there be?
[10:30] <pavan> and how to view does kindof files?
[10:30] <bazhang> remfarkas, adept is for kubuntu
[10:30] <shishirm1> i have the tarball unpacked it
[10:30] <miono> pavan: It's a "tarball" thats compressed with Gzip"
[10:30] <erUSUL> pavan: is a tar archive compressed with gzip. It is like a rar or zip file
[10:30] <shishirm1> tried running using a shell script in the untarred folder
[10:30] <shishirm1> but firefox 2 only opens
[10:30] <neeto> I have an AHCI SATA controller which an eSATA external drive is plugged into. The drive does not show up in /dev/. I have tried restarting hal, but to no avail. Any other suggestions?
[10:31] <alexei> hi, do i have to install Kubuntu to use KDE? Does Ubuntu offer a choice between Gnome and KDE at installation?
[10:31] <pavan> k
[10:31] <shishirm1> pavan: tar.gz are compressed file like .zip in windows also called tarballs
[10:31] <miono> alexei: you should be able to install KDE afterwards.
[10:31] <raheem> alexi: yes .. u can install KDE over ubuntu
[10:31] <neeto> alexei: ubuntu comes with gnome, but you can install and use KDE instead after installation
[10:31] <pavan> i installation file in tar.gz but i am not able to install it
[10:31] <bazhang> pavan, what file
[10:32] <fma243> i just installed gparted but it isnt making partitions doesnt give me any option
[10:32] <shishirm1> pavan: right click and click on extract here
[10:32] <Gere> pavan, it its am archive file type
[10:32] <miono> pavan: First you will need to extract the files out of the tarball.
[10:32] <gronne> shishirm1: isn't it available in synaptic?
[10:32] <pavan> ok
[10:32] <shishirm1> not in mine i have 7.04
[10:32] <miono> pavan: I guess you can use something like "tar xvzf <filename>"
[10:32] <Gere> you can always try the command "type file_x" and it will give you a bried description of the file type
[10:32] <shishirm1> i tried doing apt-get update also
[10:32] <alexei> are the distributed Ubuntu images with broken OpenSSL still?
[10:32] <yango> I'm using 7.04 and my apt-get dist-upgrade removes upstart and places sysvinit in its place, can I just install it back?
[10:33] <Gere> where file_x is the file in question, and type being the command
[10:33] <Flannel> alexei: Yes, not until 8.04.1 will the ISOs themselves be updated
[10:33] <shishirm1>  gronne: i tried updating the synaptic also
[10:33] <bazhang> fma243, better to have a gparted livecd to do that, if you are talking about the drive your ubuntu partition is on
[10:33] <Flannel> alexei: (which will be pretty soon)
[10:33] <miono> pavan: Not 100 % sure about the syntax of that, try "man tar" to get exact info.
[10:33] <pavan> ok
[10:34] <raheem> RonLut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[10:34] <miono> pavan: The x is for "extract" the v is for "verbose" z is for "gzip" and f is for "file".
[10:34] <bazhang> pavan, what installation file
[10:34] <fma243> ummmmm
[10:34] <shishirm1> pavan: tar -xzvf <filename> if i am not wrong
[10:34] <gronne> shishirm1: I found it there
[10:34] <yango> miono: new tar versions autodetect compression format
[10:34] <amina> What is the simplest way to make the content of a folder available online?
[10:34] <raheem> RonLut: copy & paste the first one to a file .. save it as .conkyrc in your home folder
[10:34] <the_hardy_kid> is it possible to integrate the terminal into the desktop?
[10:34] <miono> yango: Oh, didn't know that :D
[10:34] <fma243> so should i install ubuntu again
[10:34] <shishirm1> gronne: hmmm
[10:34] <yango> amina: install windows
[10:34] <yango> :D
[10:34] <bazhang> amina, for what purpose
[10:34] <pavan> its a google linux gadgets installation file
[10:34] <gronne> shishirm1:  maybe you need to add another rep
[10:35] <shishirm1> amina:  there is no simple way accept archiving it and mailing
[10:35] <tomolds> amina: Upload it to a webserver?
[10:35] <shishirm1> amina:  complex way is install apache and port forward your router
[10:35] <alexei> Flannel:  where do I get 8.04.1RC or similar?
[10:35] <shishirm1> which one?
[10:35] <bazhang> pavan, the google repos dont have it? better to install that way if possible.
[10:35] <shishirm1> gronne: which one?
[10:35] <ArrowLance> Hey, i can't get my screen resolution to get any higher that 640 x 480. anyway i could fix that?
[10:36] <gronne> shishirm1: the 3:rd one... if you use Add/remove... won't it say it's 3?
[10:36] <amina> shishirm1: archiving doesn't work for me because the folder is updated very often and people will access it very often too
[10:36] <bazhang> ArrowLance, what vid card what drivers how installed
[10:36] <amina> shishirm1: so there's nothing simpler than apache for making a folder accessible over the internet?
[10:36] <miono> amina: Then you'll need to run a webserver on the computer.
[10:36] <miono> amina: "apt-get install apache2"
[10:36] <the_hardy_kid> is it possible to integrate the terminal into the desktop?
[10:37] <miono> amina: That will install apache2
[10:37] <bazhang> amina, what will be in the folder
[10:37] <shishirm1> amina: nope
[10:37] <Flannel> alexei: You can get dailys I guess.  There is no RC status sort of thing as far as I know.  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/
[10:37] <shishirm1> gronne: may be there is you have google it..
[10:37] <amina> bazhang: pictures mainly but some documents too
[10:37] <tomolds> amina: Depending on your experience expect to spend some time learning..
[10:37] <shishirm1>  gronne: that was not for you
[10:37] <shishirm1> gronne:  i dint understand
[10:37] <bazhang> amina, for pictures get a flickr account or similar
[10:37] <kurugah> hi, after installing the latest updates my wifi is gone. i tried to ifup which wouldnt work. how can i find out what updates i installed and how can i remove those updates?
[10:38] <amina> tomolds: I'm ok with that, I'm just afraid of spending time on unnecessary things when there's a simpler way out there
[10:38] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[10:38] <gnullo> Hi, I'm thinking about downloading Ubuntu (I'm using fedora now); I'm trying to decide wether to get the 64 bit version or not. Are there any compatibility problems with it? (with Fedora I'm having scattered problems because I'm using the x64 edition; flash won't work, etc)
[10:38] <amina> bazhang: no the volume is simply too high
[10:38] <gronne> shishirm1: you know "add/remove" in "applications"?
[10:38] <bazhang> amina, nothing is easier than flickr, or just a blog
[10:38] <shishirm1> gronne: yep it has firefox and its already installed
[10:39] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[10:39] <tomolds> bazhang: Doesn't solve the problem though
[10:39] <gronne> shishirm1: in the text doesn't it say it's version 3?
[10:39] <shishirm1> nope
[10:39] <bazhang> tomolds, aye, but a webserver is not that easy to setup for newcomers
[10:39] <amina> bazhang: it wouldn't work I think. the person using the computer receives ~100 images a day, filters them and then makes them available to other people
[10:40] <ArrowLance> bazhang, I'm not really sure. But it all worked until the last update i did. It's an Nvidia card and it has the drivers ubuntu had me download
[10:40] <Flannel> shishirm1: Feisty doesn't have firefox 3 available, even in backports
[10:40] <bazhang> shishirm1, why not get gutsy
[10:40] <tomolds> amina: If they are also using Linux why not just scp them?
[10:40] <alexei> what do I do to fix the SSH/SSL  crypto keys right after install of Kubuntu 8.04?
[10:40] <gronne> shishirm1: there's your answer.. sorry I had no idea.. seemed really weird, that's all :)
[10:40] <Flannel> shishirm1: If you're dead set against upgrading (feisty reaches EOL in four months, by the way), you can do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[10:40] <bazhang> alexei, just update
[10:40] <ArrowLance> im just a bit upset because i was not having any problems until recently
[10:41] <gronne> bazhang: why do you recommend gutsy? instead of hardy?
[10:41] <bazhang> alexei, if this is a fresh install that is
[10:41] <amina> tomolds: they are not. they are on windows and are used to access the file with their web browser (I used to have a small web/file server on windows but now that I switched to ubuntu I'm looking for an alternative)
[10:41] <Buris> hy
[10:41] <bazhang> gronne, less of a transition
[10:41] <pavan> i have a directory on desktop , now i want the terminal to point to that file
[10:41] <Flannel> gronne: Just because it'd be a single update.  He could go to Hardy if he wanted.
[10:41] <alexei> bazhang: do the keys get re-generated?
[10:42] <Flannel> pavan: install nautilus-open-terminal, and then right click and "open terminal here" or whatever it says
[10:42] <bazhang> alexei, you need to do it if this is an upgrade
[10:42] <codecowboy> ANyone know of the cause of 'Interrupt: pin ? routed to IRQ 18' from lspci -vv of a wireless card. I believe the pin should be A or B?
[10:42] <pavan> ok
[10:42] <pavan> thanks
[10:42] <tomolds> amina: There are many more possibilities available with Linux, the problem is trivial if you 1) use Hamachi to make the network appear transparent then share a folder that way or just use putty from the windows machine and SSH into the linux box and take the pics
[10:42] <gronne> Ok, I haven't used it long enough I guess :)
[10:42] <tomolds> amina: Hamachi will solve your problems.
[10:43] <raheem> XB23: http://beginlinux.com/index.php/desktop_training/com_m/users-and-groups/49-manageusersandgroups/329-quota
[10:43] <miono> amina: My money goes with installing Apache.
[10:43] <alexei> bazhang:  fresh install + update == good keys?
[10:43] <Flannel> alexei: well, + update + entropy, yes
[10:44] <bazhang> alexei, were you using ssl before?
[10:44] <karl> my 8.04 doesn't see all 4 gigs of ram installed, but around 3.5...how can i make it see them all?
[10:44] <amina> tomolds: No idea what Hamachi is. I'll look into that...otherwise yeah apache
[10:44] <miono> karl: You basically can't if you have a 32bit processor.
[10:44] <karl> i have a core2duo, but have 32bit kubuntu installed
[10:45] <alexei> bazhang:  suse update destroyed my installation, need a fresh install. Kubuntu distros have buggy SSL, no newer images...
[10:45] <miono> karl: You'll need to install 64bit kubuntu in that case.
[10:45] <tomolds> amina: Hamachi gives every host a unique IP which eliminates problems with the router incorrectly forwarding ports.
[10:45] <karl> i heard it was buggy
[10:45] <bazhang> alexei, in that case a fresh install and lots of updates=no worries
[10:45] <Flannel> alexei: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/13/openssh-openssh-vulnerabilities-confirm-fix-instructions/ has all the info you'll want
[10:45] <DJones> karl: Does your graphics card share memory with the main system? Thats one reason that I've seen mentioned why it doesn't always show the full memory in the system, if the gpu has reserved some memory
[10:46] <karl> DJones  - that isn't the case
[10:46] <karl> it's the kernel
[10:46] <miono> karl: There is no way a 32bit OS can allocate more that 3.5 GB of RAM.
[10:46] <bazhang> karl then either lose that small amount of ram, or 'upgrade' (full reinstall) to 64bit
[10:47] <Flannel> karl: Or switch to the server kernel
[10:47] <karl> guess i'll be reinstalling, then
[10:47] <RonLut> miono I pasted the code from the .conkyrc but I still don't see temperature
[10:47] <alexei> bazhang, Flannel:  thanks
[10:47] <bazhang> np
[10:48] <amina> thanks everyone
[10:48] <miono> RonLut: Okay, I don't know super-everything about conky, but my guess is that you need to install lm-sensors in order for it to work with temperatures.
[10:48] <gronne> I'll propably buy a laptop with 4 gb ram. I've heard there are compatibility-issues using 64-bit. true?
[10:49] <miono> gronne: I use 64-bit version of Ubuntu on my computer. I see no reason to run 32-bit OS when you have a 64-bit processor.
[10:49] <gnullo> miono; compatibilty with 32bit apps?
[10:49] <miono> It's like buying a BMW 530 and deciding to only drive in 50 km/h :P
[10:49] <miono> gnullo: Never had any problems with it.
[10:50] <gnullo> You use flash for anything (eg youtube)?
[10:50] <gronne> miono: comforting enough :) I thought there could be problems running some 32-bit software in 64-bit
[10:50] <Newy11> i allways had problems with my widescreen with 64bit :(
[10:50] <gnullo> gronne; I'm having problems with that -but I'm using a different distro
[10:51] <gronne> gnullo: which distro, and does it take care of the problems just like that?
[10:51] <bazhang> offtopic...
[10:51] <gronne> gnullo: sorry, read too fast :)
[10:51] <alexei> what is the analogous of yast in ubuntu?
[10:52] <gnullo> Gronne np :)
[10:52] <gronne> gnullo: how do the errors appear?
[10:53] <gausie> my password has a < in it, but if-ever i type it into shell, i get unexpected token errors - how can i avoid this without changing my password?
[10:53] <gordonjcp> gausie: try sticking a backslash before it
[10:54] <gordonjcp> gausie: what do you mean by "type it into shell" anyway?
[10:54] <gnullo> Personally, I'm having two differnet problems; I'm using Fedora 9/64 and I can't get flash to work and I'm having problems with vmplayer. I'm considering getting ubuntu (I like the fact it's supported until 2011/2013 instead of until 2009 ;)) -I just havne't decided on the arch (32 or 64)
[10:54] <karl> alexel: aptitude
[10:54] <pepe_swash> hello. a program, i don't know which one writes down a mtab each reboot, overwriting what i changed for a particular mount. Any idea on the culprit?
[10:54] <gausie> gordonjcp: typing it into terminal sorry
[10:54] <karl> alexel: aka Synaptic
[10:54] <gnullo> gronne so the problem is I can't get the apps to work :)
[10:54] <gordonjcp> gausie: in a password prompt?
[10:54] <gausie> yes
[10:55] <geirha> pepe_swash: mtab is supposed to be cleared each reboot, you should never edit it manually
[10:55] <gronne> gnullo: as easy as that :) well, we all need to make the transition eventually anyway!
[10:56] <gnullo> Yeah; I just don't want to install ubuntu and find I have no flash. :|
[10:56] <neeto> is there a way to permanently change options in /sys/?
[10:57] <gnullo> I think I'll read the 64 bit area of ubuntuforums, then. :)
[10:57] <pepe_swash> geirha: duh! That explains the situation . :s  Any idea where the mounts written in come from? i have a ntfs partition mount at boot, i need to change toe options (i did that in fstab) but 'something' writes down always the same unuseful ones to mtab
[10:57] <pepe_swash> geirha: toe->tHe
[10:57] <plouffe> is there a good time management and/or project management package for ubuntu?
[10:57] <gronne> gnullo: that's a reasonable way to find out, yes :)
[10:57] <alexei> karl: thanks, will need it soon...
[10:58] <geirha> pepe_swash: the mount command writes its mounts to mtab. You should edit /etc/fstab to change mount-options. man fstab
[10:58] <RonLut> I isntalled lm-sensors, I installed corky, I made .corkyrc file with this content: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23271/ but still I don't see temperature
[10:59] <pepe_swash> geirha:  that's what i did. here is what i have in fstab
[10:59] <pepe_swash> "/dev/sda4                                  /data           ntfs         nls=iso8859-1,umask=0222,sync,gid=46,dirsync  0  1  "
[10:59] <pepe_swash> and here is what i get in mtab
[10:59] <pepe_swash> "/dev/sda4 /data fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0"
[11:00] <Slart> RonLut: trying to get temperatures for your hd?
[11:00] <Slart> RonLut: and it's coNky.. not corky
[11:01] <geirha> pepe_swash: looks about right, doesn't it? I'd change the last 1 on your fstab-line btw. Change it to either 2 or 0
[11:01] <RonLut> Slart: yea I know... typo. the file IS .conkyrc and the installed is conky... :)
[11:02] <jc_denton_> I installed the nvidia drivers via the h/w drivers dialog but now I only have 600 as a resolution
[11:02] <RonLut> Slart: I see the program, but on temperature it shows 0C, I wish it was reality
[11:02] <jc_denton_> *640x480
[11:02] <pepe_swash> geirha: looks, but if mount takes from fstab to mtab, something's wrong as it's not the same options..
[11:02] <Slart> RonLut: I had to install something else for hd temperatures.. hang on.. I'll check
[11:03] <jc_denton_> How can I get the driver to recognise my monitor is capable of higher resolutions?
[11:03] <Slart> !info hddtemp | RonLut
[11:03] <Slart> RonLut: I'll pastebin my conkyrc.. I get temperatures for all my drives..
[11:03] <RonLut> Slart: HDD is not that insteresting... I'm more interested in CPU temp and graphic card temp.
[11:04] <pepe_swash> geirha: changed fstab for a test...rebooting..
[11:04] <pepe_swash> geirha: thanks for helping
[11:04] <Slart> RonLut: but you haven't inserted any commands for that in the .conkyrc?
[11:04] <Slart> RonLut: or did I miss it?
[11:05] <RonLut> Slart: It's not mine .conkyrc, It's from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1648563&postcount=7
[11:05] <pavan> i have downloaded nautilus-open-terminal but it isnt showing when i right click on the directory
[11:05] <RonLut> And I do have cpu temp in conky, but it shows 0
[11:05] <Slart> RonLut: ahh.. nevermind .. I found it
[11:05] <RonLut> and hdd shows 0 as well
[11:05] <slowz> mount -a ..... no need to reboot
[11:06] <slowz> ohh well some still live the life of windows
[11:06] <RonLut> Slart: In your .conkyrc do you have graphic card temp?
[11:07] <Slart> RonLut: nope.. I wasn't that interested in that when I made it..

[11:09] <DaveKong> where would be the right place to post about a making a GIS flavor of ubuntu ( assuming there is not already one)
[11:09] <dna_> hi, installing ati 8.6 catalyst drivers makes my machine restart by itself, i have radeon hd 3870, any idea how to fix that?
[11:09] <Mad_Gouki> botnets take control of zombied machines iirc
[11:09] <slowz> wow trigger finger ;P
[11:09] <ikonia> DaveKong: GIS ?
[11:10] <RonLut> Slart: no. I installed now, how do I run it?
[11:10] <pavan>  i have downloaded nautilus-open-terminal but it isnt showing when i right click on the directory. can anyone help me on this issue?
[11:10] <DaveKong> ikonia:  geographical information systems
[11:10] <wangfg_> anyone use usb as install disk?
[11:10] <ikonia> DaveKong: what do you mean by a GIS flavour of ubuntu ? what needs to be changed
[11:10]  * TB` slaps Mad_Gouki upside the botnet
[11:10] <lex0> how do i move files from folder to folder as root?
[11:10] <Slart> RonLut: no, in conky you can get the temperature from a lot of different places.. you can use acpi, i2c or other weird sensors
[11:10] <Mad_Gouki> is nautilus-open-terminal supposed to give you the option to open a terminal from the right click menu?
[11:11] <Mad_Gouki> lex0, sudo cp stuff/stuff/stuff goes/here/to/this
[11:11] <pavan> i guess
[11:11] <DaveKong> ikonia: I mean one which is configured with apps etc specifically for doing gis work like how there is the studio version
[11:11] <RonLut> Slart: oh :-[
[11:11] <Mad_Gouki> or you can do su, and do cp that way, but a lot of people like sudo
[11:11] <ikonia> DaveKong: make your own, it seems a bit pointless though unless kernel tweaks are made
[11:12] <ikonia> DaveKong: one of the drivers behind ubuntu studio is the real time kernel patch, so unless your idea needs changes like that it seems pointless to build another version thats just ubuntu with specific apps installed by default
[11:13] <Slart> RonLut: here are some info about getting cpu temp in conky
[11:13] <RonLut> Slart: I don't really know what to do... I guess I'll leave it for now. There is no graphical tool as everest in windows to see all hardware info and temperatures?
[11:13] <Mad_Gouki> a lot of stuff in linux is command line
[11:14] <susa> hello
[11:14] <Mad_Gouki> http://www.xawk.com/ubuntu-cpu-temperature.html
[11:14] <Mad_Gouki> theres a guide on how to get a graphical monitor of temps, voltages, fan speeds
[11:15] <alecs> hey guys!
[11:15] <Slart> RonLut: there has to be a simple applet for it..
[11:15] <susa> when i apply a theme it only takes effect on the windows, how can i make it effect the taskbars and the background + icons etc?
[11:15] <DaveKong> ikonia: I am not sure right now I just thought it might be nice for setting up a computer lab
[11:15] <bazhang> susa, depends on the theme; some are minimal
[11:16] <alecs> i just bought a pais of headphones genius HS-04U and i have a problem ... i cannot hear anything ...
[11:16] <alecs> anyone know how could i fix this ?
[11:16] <Mad_Gouki> they must be broken ;)
[11:16] <Kaell> is there a script that runs when i get an IP via DHCP?
[11:16] <Kaell> does "if-up.d" run then?
[11:16] <orphean> Slart: try sensors-applet
[11:17] <amina> I'm trying to mount a filesystem (another disk partition) but the file manager wants me to be root. I know how to sudo in the command line, but what is the equivalent with the GUI?
[11:17] <Kaell> where is the proper place to hook when i get an IP?
[11:17] <Mad_Gouki> you can do $sudo nautilus
[11:17] <orphean> amina: gksu
[11:17] <Mad_Gouki> or make a su shell
[11:17] <RonLut> Slart: http://wiki.hardinfo.org/Screenshots maybe good...
[11:17] <ikonia> Kaell: dhclient gets your ip address for you
[11:17] <pavan> in terminal how to point to the directory which is in desktop
[11:17] <TB`> What's the next Ubuntu ver to come out?
[11:17] <Slart> !info computertemp | RonLut
[11:18] <alecs> Mad_Gouki: i still hear in my laptop speaker ... so, i think is a "drivers" issue (they are connected via USB)
[11:18] <amina> orphean: gksu...?
[11:18] <bazhang> !ibex | TB`
[11:18] <TB`> Oh right thanks
[11:18] <orphean> amina: gksu <the gui app i want to run as root> :)
[11:18] <Kaell> ikonia - i have no "dhclient"
[11:18] <orphean> amina: works like sudo but for... gui apps...
[11:18] <microwaver> negge, I found 'a solution' to my slow performance
[11:18] <Kaell> i have dhcdbd ?
[11:18] <amina> orphean: I don't know what the app is for the file manager
[11:18] <susa> bazhang: how so i no what they contain?
[11:18] <ikonia> Kaell: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[11:18] <orphean> amina: gksu nautilus
[11:18] <bazhang> susa best to check the screenshot and the info on the page
[11:19] <Kaell> 8.04
[11:19] <RonLut> Slart: I'll try them both now... thanks
[11:19] <amina> orphean: thanks a lot
[11:19] <Kaell> Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l     Linux odt2 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:19] <pavan> in terminal how to point to the directory plz help me
[11:19] <orphean> pavan: what do you mean 'point'
[11:19] <pavan> ?
[11:19] <KrimZon> cd
[11:20] <Kaell> i have no idea what your question means Pav5088
[11:20] <Kaell> pavan*
[11:20] <ikonia> Kaell: I would be very surprised if you didn't have dhclient on your system, as thats installed by default on an 8.04 desktop
[11:20] <Kaell> i'm running as root... i did find / -name dhc*
[11:20] <pavan> i mean that i want to open terminal on that directory address
[11:20] <Kaell> it found 3 files
[11:20] <Kaell> all three were named dhcdbd
[11:20] <ikonia> Kaell: ls -la /sbin/dhclient
[11:20] <orphean> pavan: cd ~/
[11:21] <Kaell> /usr/sbin/dhcdbd /usr/share/doc/dhcdbd /etc/init.d/dhcdbd
[11:21] <orphean> pavan: that gets you to your home directory. the Desktop folder is in there. so cd Desktop would be the next command
[11:21] <abdullah> f
[11:21] <Kaell> hmm
[11:21] <Kaell> i do have it
[11:21] <Kaell> strange
[11:21] <ikonia> Kaell: no - ls -la /sbin/dhclient
[11:21] <abdullah> hello every one
[11:21] <alexei> how do I get console output at boot time instead of boot splash in Kubuntu?
[11:21] <zerok> hi everyone :)
[11:21] <pavan> ok thanks
[11:21] <Kaell> why does my find not find it???
[11:21] <abdullah> hi  zerok
[11:21] <Kaell> /sbin/dhclient -> dhclient3
[11:21] <MegaMan_EXE> Does anyone know where to find a complied driver for Agere that works in Hardy
[11:21] <ikonia> Kaell: thats better
[11:22] <the_hardy_kid> how do you edit open source?
[11:22] <bazhang> the_hardy_kid, what do you mean
[11:22] <abdullah> how can I add more features in my system
[11:22] <RonLut> Slart: how do I run computertemp :-X?
[11:22] <zerok> the_hardy_kid, is this a philosophical question?
[11:22] <orphean> alexei: you need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' kernel options
[11:22] <Kaell> i guess i needed quotes around the dhc*
[11:22] <orphean> alexei: be careful editing that file, back it up first.
[11:22] <ikonia> Kaell: yes, find requires 'dhcli*' -print
[11:22] <mattysp> this is the place im looking for
[11:23] <Kaell> we.... this works:    find / -name "dhc*"
[11:23] <susa> bazhang: i tried a few themes and they are only showing me the window changing. Could you recomend a theme to test please?
[11:23] <RonLut> How do I run computertemp?
[11:23] <bazhang> susa oxygenrefit
[11:23] <Kaell> so do you happen to know any sript that will call for me when it gets a new IP address?
[11:23] <MegaMan_EXE> Does anyone know where to find a complied driver for Agere that works in Hardy
[11:24] <alexei> orphean: no hot key combination for that? only this permanent solution?
[11:24] <orphean> alexei: sadly yes
[11:24] <orphean> alexei: if you only want it once you can edit the grub information temporarily form the grub menu at startup
[11:25] <orphean> alexei: or supply it a new kernel line (might be easier to edit it, it doesn't save)
[11:25] <orphean> alexei: no simple hotkey for it :/
[11:25] <Slart> RonLut: install it, then right click on a panel, select add and find the computertemp applet
[11:25] <TB`> What ver is after 8.10
[11:25] <bazhang> TB`, take chat elsewhere
[11:25] <TB`> It's a serious question sir
[11:26] <orphean> TB`: 9.04
[11:26] <bazhang> TB`, its offtopic here
[11:26] <TB`> Why do they miss out v8.05 - v.8.09 ?
[11:26] <TB`> Ok sorry I'll shut my trap, sheesh
[11:26] <orphean> TB`: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146
[11:26] <TB`> Can't even talk about Ubuntu in an Ubuntu channel
[11:26] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic TB`
[11:26] <DrLame> TB`: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:26] <TB`> Thanks bots
[11:27] <DrLame> ...
[11:27] <DrLame> You're welcome
[11:27] <microwaver> anyone using xubuntu?
[11:27] <Slart> microwaver: on my server, yes
[11:27] <RonLut> Slart: I found it but nothing happens when I click on it on the pannel.... It's like just an icon
[11:28] <zerok> very stupid question, but shouldn't there be an entry in the fstab for /boot in 8.04?
[11:28] <microwaver> Slart, recently moved to xubuntu (perfomance increase !!!) but I can't seem to find the System menu.
[11:28] <orphean> microwaver: you might have better luck in #xubuntu if you have a problem
[11:28] <Slart> RonLut: you can right click on it and change preferences and such.. but sure.. it's an icon.. a small thermometr
[11:28] <ikonia> zerok: do you have a seperate /boot partition /
[11:28] <Slart> RonLut: you can make it show the temperature as text too if you want..
[11:28] <kiosk> kampretijo
[11:28] <zerok> ikonia, i honestly don't know since the original installation was done by slicehost, but /boot is empty, so i presume that yes
[11:28] <RonLut> Slart: Isn't it graphic tool?
[11:29] <ikonia> zerok: that would make sense,
[11:29] <Slart> RonLut: yes.. it's a small applet.. designed to sit on the panel and show you the temperature of various things
[11:29] <zerok> ikonia, so it's nothing ubuntu itself does to hide the partition i guess, right?
[11:29] <Slart> microwaver: hmm.. hang on.. let me check
[11:29] <ikonia> zerok: in that case I'd add a /boot entry in fstab, but as you don't need to edit anything in there, unless you do kernel updates
[11:29] <pavan> how to install c complier for ubuntu 8.04
[11:29] <RonLut> Slart: where does it shows the temp.?
[11:29] <RonLut> oh
[11:29] <orphean> pavan: sudo apt-get build-essential
[11:30] <ikonia> pavan: install the gcc package or the "build-essential" package
[11:30] <orphean> pavan: er sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:30] <Slart> RonLut: right click on it.. select preferences.. set it to show text and icon
[11:30] <pavan> ok thanks everyone
[11:30] <zerok> ikonia, the problem is, that i just upgraded from 7.10 but the sytem still boots with the old kernel, so i wanted to edit the grub config
[11:30] <zerok> will ask in #slicehost.
[11:30] <zerok> ikonia, thanks :)
[11:30] <Kaell> is there no standard place to place scripts you want to run when dhclient gets a new IP?
[11:30] <microwaver> orphean, i cant make that symbol before the xubuntu you typed there, need to adjust the keyboard layout
[11:30] <ikonia> zerok: then you'll need to mount /boot - however if /boot wasn't mounted when you did the upgrade, I'd be dubious about to if the upgrade worked
[11:30] <RonLut> Slart: But it shows me only 2 things: hwmon0 (1) hwmon0 (3)
[11:31] <zerok> ikonia, jupp, that's the weird part )
[11:31] <zerok> ;)
[11:31] <RonLut> Slart: Is there any way of viewing the graphic card temperature in it?
[11:31] <nikos> hi
[11:31] <nikos> kapoios apo ellada?
[11:31] <Slart> microwaver: ah.. it's embedded in the main menu.. Applications, system
[11:31] <amikrop> In System->Preferences->Windows, I have chosen "Maximize" as the choice of "Titlebar action", but windows roll up, instead of maximizing when I double click on their title bar.
[11:31] <alecs> anyone know how to fix my problem ?
[11:31] <orphean> microwaver: interesting. well do <whatever character you typed to join ubuntu>xubuntu instead
[11:31] <bazhang> !gr | nikos
[11:31] <nikos> greek?
[11:31] <microwaver> Slart, thanks for opening my eyes :P
[11:31] <MrKennie> Kaell, /etc/network/if-up.d/
[11:31] <amikrop> nikos: egw
[11:31] <Slart> microwaver: hehe, you're welcome
[11:32] <microwaver> orphean, it's the channel I get connecting to when opening xchat :D
[11:32] <doug_> I'm connected to the Internet through an ethernet card set on dhcp, yet Network Manager says no network connection, why?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> hey y'alls
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> doug_: is network manager set to watch the interface?
[11:33] <bazhang> doug_, you used terminal to connect?
[11:33] <magnetron> microwaver: /join #xubuntu
[11:34] <doug_> ActionParsnip, bazhang: I'm connected right now to this irc server, I don't know if NM is watching the interface
[11:34] <microwaver> magnetron, bedankt !
[11:34] <neeto> can someone direct me to a tutorial about adding devices to /dev/mtab?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> doug_: if its connected ok and you are on the same comuter now then its most likely watching the wrong interface
[11:35] <Slart> !fstab | neeto
[11:35] <neeto> thank you sir
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> doug_: right click it - see what you find there
[11:35] <Slart> neeto: afaik mtab is just a simple output of the current status.. fstab is where the configuration is done
[11:35] <doug_> ActionParsnip: left-click gives me No network devices have been found, Manual configuration
[11:36] <doug_> ActionParsnip: right click gives me Enable networking, Connection information (disabled), Edit wireless networks and About
[11:37] <ne2k__> I just installed "arping" package and it removed network-manager and network-manager-gnome. surely this is broken?
[11:37] <ne2k__> I then couldn't reinstall network-manager-gnome because my connection was offline because network-manager wasn't running, so I couldn't download the package (don't know why it wasn't in the cache). I had to use ifconfig manually to fix it. this is VERY BAD for a distribution that is meant to be user-friendly
[11:37] <orphean> ne2k__: submit a bug report on that one
 Kaell, /etc/network/if-up.d/  <--- that was my first guess... but when exactly is that run?
[11:37] <neeto> Slart: I see, well riddle me this: Depending on what devices I have plugged in at one time, sometimes a certain drive isn't always in, say /dev/sdc1. In this case, is there a way to identify the drive by a unique hardware address?
[11:38] <MrKennie> Kaell, I believe when the interface is up and assigned an ip address
[11:38] <Slart> neeto: correct.. that's why you can identify a drive by UUID instead of device file.. type !uuid for more info, sudo blkid to get a list of uuids
[11:38] <Kaell> mkay
[11:38] <khajavi> ﻿HI All: I don't have 1024*768 resolution. what should I do? (in restricted drivers my nvidia-legacy is in red color)

[11:41] <kaushal> How can i install nagios on ubuntu
[11:41] <bazhang> veliuX, why not go into software sources and look there
[11:41] <noam_> quick question - the java plugin doesn't work in firefox, is that a known problem or did i do something wrong?
[11:41] <neeto> noam_: you did something wrong
[11:41] <soulhacker> noam_:u have openjdk or sun?
[11:41] <veliuX> bazhang where, i want to edit the source.lst because i do not have a gui set up yet
[11:41] <MrKennie> Kaell, personally I would use if-up.d but I don't think it makes any difference.
[11:41] <noam_> java-6-sun
[11:41] <bazhang> veliuX, you want to pastebin it?
[11:42] <Kaell> ok, thanks :)
[11:42] <soulhacker> noam_:what error does it give?
[11:42] <khajavi> veliuX: it doesnt worked
[11:42] <noam_> and firefox (3) reports it has "gcj web browser plugin (using IcedTea) 1.0
[11:42] <veliuX> im not on linux right now, im at work, im hand writing mirrors down
[11:42] <neeto> is there a way to mount devices based on a hardware ID, rather than the order they show up in /dev?
[11:42] <Mercuree> I have just installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu hardy installation. Im guessing that i will be able to select kde as my desktop next time I log in. is this correct?
[11:42] <orphean> Mercuree: yep
[11:42] <veliuX> bazhang can i use debian mirrors?
[11:42] <bazhang> veliuX, quick work when you are on the computer
[11:42] <neeto> veliuX: Why do you need so many repos?
[11:42] <Slart> !uuid | neeto
[11:42] <bazhang> veliuX, if you plan on using debian sure
[11:42] <veliuX> im trying to find a close one in the US to me
[11:43] <soulhacker> noam_:yes gcj is the problem
[11:43] <yoyoned> Mercuree: yes
[11:43] <Mercuree> also, I am currently logged into my system using remote desktop, which only allows me to connect to an already logged in session. is there a way I can set this for the gdm login screen as I will need to logout to start kde
[11:43] <noam_> soulhacker: so... how do i fix it? by installing a sun-java plugin?
[11:43] <soulhacker> noam_:yyes
[11:44] <veliuX> khajavi nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf look in there and change ur resolution
[11:44] <soulhacker> need help guys i want to mount a ftp server using gvfs so i saved a book mark for it but whenever i try to open a hidden folder on ftp it doesnt open i know dat folder is dere and hidden but it doesnt open in gvfs while in gftp it opens
[11:44] <veliuX> bazhang so is there a website that lists ubuntu's apt mirrors?
[11:44] <alexei> so, now I have bare metal + fresh kubuntu, how do I install e.g. firefox (v2)?
[11:44] <khajavi> veliuX: in this file I dont have any resolution setting
[11:44] <noam_> soulhacker: could you describe exactly how to do so? install the "icedtea-java7-plugin"?
[11:45] <orphean> Mercuree: System->Preferences->Login Window then in the first tab change your default session to KDE
[11:45] <Kartagis> alexei: sudo apt-get install firefox?
[11:45] <Vixus> ubuntu's really getting annoying with not being able to play audio from different apps at the same time.. I'm fed up of having to close and reopen apps just to play sound. Has this been fixed yet?
[11:45] <bazhang> veliuX, if you are on the computer it is the work of a moment to get those
[11:45] <veliuX> khajavi are you using gnome right now
[11:45] <Mercuree> thanks orphean but i would still have to logout to then login to kde? and if i can access the login screen remotely then i cant login.
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:goto applications>add/remove
[11:46] <veliuX> im on a windows box right now, i tried googling and found some but not any in the US
[11:46] <Mercuree> or coul i ssh in login startx then access it remotely?
[11:46] <veliuX> so i dont think i found the right site
[11:46] <khajavi> veliuX: my nvdia is very old. and now in restricted driver the nvdia-legacy is red
[11:46] <Vinconzo> can i use my usb bluetooth stick on PC_1 and my bluetooth stick on PC_2 to get PC_1 connected to the internet through PC_2?
[11:46] <alexei> Kartagis: offers firefox-3.0, is there the older version?
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:search sun u will find sun browser plugin in results install it
[11:46] <orphean> Mercuree: well its a session thing, you're already in a session, see the problem?
[11:46] <ikonia> khajavi: look at "nvidia-glx-legacy"
[11:46] <noam_> soulhacker: hah, awesome, i removed the icedtea package and now it works :)
[11:46] <Mercuree> yeah
[11:46] <Vinconzo> probably a noob question
[11:46] <Mercuree> meh.
[11:46] <soulhacker> noam_:good for u
[11:47] <noam_> thank you
[11:47] <Mercuree> thats what im trying to get around
[11:47] <orphean> Mercuree: you could try starting up another x server
[11:47] <orphean> Mercuree: and then running whatever kde's session script is
[11:47] <Mercuree> hmm ill check it out. its not urgent :p
[11:48] <Mercuree> I just wanna play with kde now as i have nothing to do at work :D
[11:48] <orphean> Mercuree: virtualize it ;)
[11:48] <ne2k__> orphean: I just did. Bug #243475
[11:48] <orphean> ne2k__: thank you!
[11:49] <Mercuree> orphean, you mean with vmware or something? that wouldnt be productive as then it would be a whole different 'machine' no?
[11:50] <ne2k__> orphean: I'm not sure if it's really a bug. but I'll let the maintainers decide
[11:50] <veliuX> dammit ubuntu's website only shows how to add extra repositorys using synaptic gui, I am not using a gui and plan on editing the sources.list, where can i find the mirros?
[11:50] <veliuX> mirrors*
[11:50] <magnetron> !mirrors | veliuX
[11:50] <amikrop> Hello. In System->Preferences->Windows, I have chosen "Maximize" as the choice of "Titlebar action", but windows roll up, instead of maximizing when I double click on their title bar. I use Compiz Fusion and Emerald.
[11:51] <veliuX> ok cool thank you ubottu
[11:51] <pavan> can anyone tell me how to get jsdk for ubuntu?
[11:51] <magnetron> !thanks | veliuX
[11:51] <amikrop> !maximize
[11:52] <orphean> amikrop: if you're using compiz you need to set it in the compizconfig-settings-manager. i'm 90% sure that the other preference only applies to metacity (this is most likely incorrect behavior, but it appears that's how it is for the moment)
[11:53] <amikrop> orphean: Will it be fixed?
[11:53] <amikrop> (the behaviour)
[11:53] <orphean> amikrop: Only if a bug has been submitted for it and the maintainers agree.
[11:53] <ne2k__> pavan: isn't sun-java6-jdk what you want?
[11:54] <amikrop> orphean: OK, I will file a bug.
[11:54] <ne2k__> !sun-java6-jdk
[11:54] <RoRe_> hi
[11:54] <XB23> how do i see how much of a quota is left and how much in total a user has?
[11:54] <Nimblefinger> hmm, ok I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I'm wanting a media player that will play mp3s and to get twinview setup
[11:54] <backslash7> Hey
[11:54] <backslash7> I need to find a file
[11:54] <backslash7> I know a part of it's name
[11:55] <backslash7> How do I do that?
[11:55] <FloodBot1> backslash7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:55] <ne2k__> XB23: man quota
[11:55] <ne2k__> backslash7: use find
[11:55] <Nimblefinger> but I am struggling to get make to work, well it fails when running ./configure
[11:56] <Mercuree> yes you can set the action in compiz-settings
[11:56] <orphean> backslash7: Places->Search for Files
[11:56] <ne2k__> backslash7: find -iname *part*
[11:56] <kaushal> whats the command to install mysql on ubuntu
[11:56] <nikos> greek?
[11:56] <ne2k__> kaushal: apt-get install mysql-server
[11:57] <nikos> ellada?
[11:57] <kaushal> ne2k__, thanks
[11:58] <kaushal> I am looking out for mysql 5.0.54
[11:59] <backslash7> ne2k__: "find -iname .ovpn" => nothing but I know it's there.
[11:59] <backslash7> s/there/somewhere
[11:59] <veliuX> I have one last question, can i recompile ubuntus kernel similar to the way i would recompile debian's kernel?
[11:59] <nikos> apo ellada?
[11:59] <jrib> !kernel > veliuX (read the private message from ubottu)
[11:59] <DJones> !gr | nikos
[12:00] <Kartagis> alexei: sudo apt-get install firefox-2
[12:00] <bazhang> veliuX, not much point in doing so; you lose support here and gain very little
[12:00] <veliuX> i dont care about support
[12:00] <bazhang> nikos apo is not here now
[12:00] <veliuX> actually i would gain quite a bit of speed
[12:01] <veliuX> every linux distro i have used gains considerable speed after the kernel is recompiled
[12:01] <orphean> veliuX: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu    that is useful.  all hope abandon ye who enter here stuff though
[12:01] <nikos> re paidia kaneis apo ellada na me vohtheisei se ena provlima sta ubuntu????
[12:01] <jrib> orphean: that site is terrible after reading the first page...
[12:02] <bazhang> nikos you need to speak english here
[12:02] <bazhang> nikos /join #ubuntu-gr
[12:02] <backslash7> the GUI thing did it
[12:02] <backslash7> thanks
[12:02] <veliuX> good just like debian's recompile
[12:02] <veliuX> ok thats all thanks
[12:02] <backslash7> but find "not found" lol
[12:02] <orphean> jrib: well nm me then. been a while since i've had to do so on ubuntu
[12:03] <jrib> orphean: if there's a guide on the wiki, it's usually better
[12:03] <jrib> !kernel > orphean (read the private message from ubottu)
[12:05] <michele> c
[12:05] <Nimblefinger> ok so I have an nVidia card in this laptop, running Ubuntu 8.04
[12:05] <Nimblefinger> I'm trying to get it to display on two separate screens, using twinview
[12:06] <Nimblefinger> but when i type gksudo nvidia-settings nothing comes up
[12:06] <Nimblefinger> and when i try the old way of editing the xorg.conf settings, the Devices section looks rather dissimilar
[12:07] <Nimblefinger> It doesnt have identifier or busID under the section
[12:08] <bartonello> hi. Does anybody know where I can set umask globally in Ubuntu?
[12:08] <peterpan098> anyone know how to fix resolution?
[12:08] <peterpan098> i can see partial of my desktop
[12:08] <zone51> server irc.epiknet.org
[12:08] <peterpan098> top left
[12:09] <ne2k__> bartonello: /etc/profile?
[12:09] <ne2k__> bartonello: should already be in there; change it to what you want
[12:10] <peterpan098> i can only see partial of my desktop?
[12:10] <_Roman> I have a .cdb file (it is a Microsoft Pocket Access database file from Windows CE), does anyone know of a way to open this in ubuntu?
[12:10] <peterpan098> anyone know how to fix?
[12:10] <bartonello> ﻿ne2k__, thanks)
[12:11] <Nimblefinger> darn wireless failed me, could anyone help me with getting twinview working?
[12:11] <RonLut> Why when I'm uploading a file in photobucket my firefox does not responds until upload is completed?
[12:11] <peterpan098> anyone here uses ubuntu ultimate?
[12:13] <interactive> does someone have some experience with evtouch drivers?
[12:14] <sergio__> !list
[12:15] <nooga> hm
[12:16] <overlord_> #ipodlinux
[12:16] <nooga> ubottu does not know anything abt evtouch
[12:16] <g0tcha> hey guys, is ot normal to se "auto lo" instead of "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[12:17] <g0tcha> it*
[12:17] <RonLut> nobody can help me?
[12:17] <nxxs> msg nickserv register
[12:17] <bazhang> nxxs, do that in the server window
[12:17] <berent> is there any way to just goto suspend mode and let the download happen. i see the fans running a waste when i want to just download
[12:18] <Corkster> my ipod classic works great with amarok and rythmbox
[12:18] <nooga> rly?
[12:20] <g0tcha> anyone about setting a static ip
[12:20] <g0tcha> /etc/network/interfaces shows lo and not eth0
[12:20] <g0tcha> ../etc/network/interfaces shows lo and not eth0
[12:20] <palmje> does anyone know how to get usb audio to work?  I have a headset that uses usb.
[12:21] <jatt> palmje: in hardy it should detect your card automatically and ask you if you want to set the usb card as default
[12:21] <gandalf88> ciao a tutti
[12:21] <Pici> !it | gandalf88
[12:22] <gandalf88> excuse me
[12:22] <jatt> palmje: you can also check
[12:22] <jatt> cat /proc/asound/cards
[12:22] <jatt> to see if your USB card is there.
[12:22] <palmje> its not a usb sound card - the headset uses a usb connection for the auido (in and out)
[12:23] <micoh> i think he means the sound card is an ordinary type and that he wants to set the output to usb port
[12:24] <eAm>  hi
[12:24] <eAm> is ubuntu safe?
[12:24] <palmje> micoh: thats about it
[12:25] <joni_> .
[12:25] <sipior> eAm: is this a "Marathon Man" reference?
[12:25] <palmje> eAm: what do you mean by safe?
[12:25] <ubun_t> safe = secure
[12:27] <eAm> is it?
[12:27] <sipior> eAm: a default install,  with a conscientious administrator, is reasonably secure.
[12:27] <`Immortal`> hi guys
[12:27] <sipior> eAm: but then, that goes for pretty much any operating system
[12:27] <palmje> eAm: its certainly more secure than windows
[12:27] <jordan_cbr> hi
[12:28] <tomolds> eAm: You really need to form a better question, to get a better answer :-)
[12:28] <`Immortal`> How do i disable services in Ubuntu 8.04?
[12:28] <jordan_cbr> anyone know where i can get information about creating configuration Packages?
[12:28] <jordan_cbr> *can i
[12:28] <`Immortal`> I used the Services option in Admin.
[12:28] <eAm> shure
[12:28] <`Immortal`> but very few services are listed there
[12:28] <Pici> !newpackage | jordan_cbr
[12:29] <g0tcha> guys, is it normal for /etc/network/interfaces to sho only lo and not eth0 ?
[12:29] <JonathanEllis> Is there a linux equivalent of the "Program Files" directory in Windows? I need to find where an executable is located so I can associate a particular file type with it. In windows I would write click on the program menu item to look at its properties. Is there some similar way to find the location of an application?
[12:29] <`Immortal`> isn't there a tool like, services.msc in XP where all services can be enabled/disbabled?
[12:29] <mysterycool> No.
[12:29] <mysterycool> jk :p
[12:30] <soundray> `Immortal`: System-Administration-Services
[12:30] <tomolds> JonathanEllis: can use whereis I believe.
[12:30] <justin__> Does anyone know of an ISO burner for Ubuntu?
[12:30] <`Immortal`> soundray:  i tried that
[12:30] <soundray> `Immortal`: for more detail, install bum
[12:30] <`Immortal`> very few services show up there
[12:30] <`Immortal`> !bum
[12:30] <palmje> l﻿JonathanEllis: inks to programs are generally in places like /bin, /usr/bin etc.
[12:31] <palmje> i use k3b to burn iso files
[12:31] <`Immortal`> Thanks soundray , will try bum
[12:31] <`Immortal`> also i seem to have trouble with Beagle
[12:31] <justin__> palmje: Thanks.
[12:32] <Hexxeh> Hello
[12:32] <Hexxeh> I've got a fresh copy of Ubuntu 7.04 installed, and I'm trying to setup a squid server on it
[12:32] <Hexxeh> But the package doesn't appear to be in the repos
[12:32] <`Immortal`> seems there's some trouble with indexing
[12:32] <Hexxeh> Do I need to add an extra repo or something?
[12:32] <nooga> how to use xserver-xorg-evtouch
[12:32] <nooga> ?
[12:33] <`Immortal`> this issue cropped up once there was a power-outage
[12:33] <soundray> When I boot Ubuntu, it goes to the sound volume that I last set it to. Can I fix it instead at, say, 50% on every boot?
[12:33] <Pici> !info squid feisty
[12:33] <nooga> soundray: oh, that would be nice
[12:34] <Hexxeh> sudo apt-get install squid squid-common
[12:34] <Pici> Hexxeh: squid should be in the main repo
[12:34] <Hexxeh> is what I ran, but it said it can't find the squid package
[12:34] <`Immortal`> anybody for help with Beagle?
[12:34] <soundray> !info squid feisty
[12:35] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: if something is borked drop the index and start over
[12:35] <soundray> !info squid gutsy
[12:35] <Hexxeh> "Couldn't find package squid"
[12:35] <`Immortal`> how do i go about that mgolisch?
[12:35] <kai> Hi everyone
[12:35] <`Immortal`> hi kai
[12:35] <Hexxeh> I can't see why it isn't finding the package
[12:35] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: what exactly is t he problem? i had beagled freak out sometimes when it indexed my music mostlikely it didnt like some of my wma files
[12:35] <`Immortal`> mgolisch:  i had a power-outage
[12:36] <palmje> anyone know how to get a usb headset working?
[12:36] <soundray> Hexxeh: for gutsy, it's in main. Perhaps you just have to 'sudo apt-get update'
[12:36] <Nimblefinger> i get this error whenever i try to run the ./configure in any package : configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.  why is this?
[12:36] <philipsmith> ubottu etiquette
[12:36] <kai> I am registering a PGP key, but know i need to Confirm the OpenPGP key, how do i do that?
[12:36] <`Immortal`> ever since it ain't showing any files when i search
[12:36] <Hexxeh> ahhh, fair point soundray, should have thought of that
[12:36] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, is gcc correctely installed and in your path?
[12:36] <soundray> palmje: plug it in and make it the default sound device in System-Preferences-Sound
[12:36] <bazhang> kai, you need gpg
[12:36] <kai> How do you mean?
[12:36] <bazhang> !info gpg
[12:36] <kai> ok
[12:37] <Pici> !gpg
[12:37] <Jester45> Nimblefinger: install build-essentials and youll be good
[12:37] <bazhang> !find gpg
[12:37] <kai> Ok
[12:37] <Nimblefinger> I don't know WalloO, I assumed that it would be out of the box i guess, foolishly
[12:37] <Nimblefinger> ok thanks Jester, I'll give that a go
[12:37] <Jester45> Nimblefinger: its build-essential
[12:37] <`Immortal`> mgolisch: ?
[12:38] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, no, it isn't since it's a development tool, and not everybody want to compile
[12:38] <WalloO> !build-essential
[12:38] <Nimblefinger> thanks Jester, and that makes sense WalloO
[12:38] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: theres some config utility beagle-settings or so
[12:38] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[12:38] <philipsmith> I can't get gnome-rdp to allow one of my ubuntu machines to see the desktop of another. I've got the address correct and am using VNC.... terminal server client and remote desktop viewer work ok... how do I get gnome-rdp to work?
[12:38] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, try that sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:38] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: if it doesnt work no more maybe just delete the index file and restart beagled
[12:39] <Nimblefinger> its already running WalloO ;) but thanks :)
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !test
[12:39] <WalloO> Nimblefinger, maybe it will install all necessary dev tools if I remeber correctely
[12:39] <Jester45> philipsmith: is the rdp server on your lan?
[12:39] <`Immortal`> where is the index file stored mgolisch?
[12:39] <Nimblefinger> it looks fairly comprehensive
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !gnupg
[12:39] <LordDicranius> !dvd
[12:39] <Pici> LordDicranius: Please message the bot if you're just looking for stuff for yourself.
[12:39] <philipsmith> Jester45: rdp server? I don't know about this. Gnome-rdp is installed on the machine I want to use.
[12:39] <ozkelligirl> ubottu how are you?
[12:40] <Nimblefinger> I'll give it a go now, just managed to get it working with two monitors, but was just a case of looking up some stuff as i have an nVidia card
[12:40] <bazhang> ozkelligirl, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish
[12:40] <Jester45> philipsmith: the server is the screen you want to view and the viewer is the local screen your looking at
[12:40] <prageeth> how to compile c++ in ubuntu
[12:40] <`Immortal`> mgolisch:  am i better of with Catfish?
[12:40] <ozkelligirl> ok but i need help first
[12:41] <philipsmith> Jester45: maybe not... I'll install gnome-rdp on that machine, also. RIght?
[12:41] <nooga> apt-get install g++
[12:41] <bazhang> then ask ozkelligirl
[12:41] <Jester45> !build-essential > prageeth
[12:41] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: no idea, didnt use beagle for a long time, i dont use any of these search things, i have no need for that
[12:41] <`Immortal`> K
[12:41] <`Immortal`> thanks for the help
[12:41] <ozkelligirl> i loose the bar at the bottom when i open a web page
[12:41] <`Immortal`> guys which is the best media-player for Ubuntu?
[12:42] <`Immortal`> Banshee / Amarok?
[12:42] <`Immortal`> or anything else?
[12:42] <nooga> Amarok i'd say
[12:42] <prageeth> windows in visual c++,but linux??
[12:42] <soundray> !best | `Immortal`
[12:42] <soundray> !player | `Immortal`
[12:42] <clintchance> how do i do setuid to a file
[12:42] <Pici> soundray: fyi, !info something feisty is now working, thank stdin and jussi01
[12:42] <`Immortal`> nooga i need it to work with my Ipod
[12:42] <mgolisch> clintchance: chmod o+s i think
[12:42] <CaptainMorgan> I'm not sure what changed recently... but none of any hyperlinks when clicked are opening a browser(from outside a browser). A link from an RSS reader, general email, an IM... some other desktop application.. links only work within the browser... any idea how I change this so that I can open links as I used to from other apps ?
[12:42] <mgolisch> aehm u+s
[12:42] <mgolisch> i mean
[12:42] <mgolisch> :)
[12:43] <soundray> Pici: thanks. For a moment, I thought support had been dropped early ;)
[12:43] <philipsmith> Jester45: installing gnome-rdp on the "server" did not work.
[12:43] <CaptainMorgan> opening* in a brower(...
[12:43] <kai> I don't get a phrase when trying to register a PGP key?
[12:44] <`Immortal`> soundray:  which one is suitable for managing music on my iPod?
[12:44] <rich_> has anyone got the backlights to work on a macbook pro 4g
[12:44] <knightwise> hey ozkelligirl
[12:44] <Jester45> philipsmith: i just looked up what gnome-rdp is and its just the viewer the "server" doesnt need it but it does need a rdp/vnc server you need to setup X11vnc on the server frist
[12:44] <mgolisch> `Immortal`: amarok can do it and banshee can too
[12:45] <`Immortal`> K
[12:45] <Jester45> philipsmith: or use gnomes remote desktop
[12:45] <`Immortal`> thanks again
[12:45] <palmje> ﻿soundray: thanks - works for most things
[12:45] <philipsmith> Jester45: I'll install x11vnc on the server and try again.
[12:45] <palmje> now to get it working for mplayer...
[12:45] <alexei> how do I restgart X? init 3/init 5 does not seem to work as I used to it
[12:45] <Dr_willis> alexei,  restart the gdm service
[12:46] <mgolisch> alexei: just use /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:46] <Dr_willis> alexei,  ubuntu dosent use those runlevels like other disrtos do.
[12:46] <remicks916> Anyone in here farmiliar with ProFTPd that could point me in the direction of a script for my eggdrop that would let me see stats and/or announce new uploads in an IRC channel?
[12:46] <`Immortal`> later ppl.
[12:46] <`Immortal`> thanks for the help mgolisch, soundray
[12:46] <`Immortal`> and others.....
[12:46] <alexei> Dr_willis: ok, seems to work (modulo kdm)
[12:47] <Jester45> philipsmith: you may have to configure it first i cant remeber if it works by defualt
[12:47] <MrKennie> I got a problem with NFS since upgrading to hardy. The remote filesystem is always reported as read only regardless of rw flags in exports and even in fstab on the client machine. I have checked file permissions and they are all fine. It worked with gutsy just fine and nothing changed configuration wise.
[12:49] <Sandeep`> what is the difference b/w apt-get install and aptitude install ?
[12:50] <soundray> palmje: perhaps try mplayer -ao alsa
[12:50] <bazhang> Sandeep`, not a great deal
[12:50] <philipsmith> Jester45: remote desktop and terminal server client work, but are often VERY slow. I'll live with them until I can't live with them any more. Thankyou for your help, Jester45. Have a nice day. Phil Smith, DUluth, GA
[12:51] <Pici> Sandeep`: aptitude installs reccomended dependencies by default, also aptitude has a ncurses front-end and might (according to some) handle missing dependencies better. Other than that, they're pretty much the same,.
[12:51] <aglar> slm  kanal
[12:51] <nooga> has anyone got experience with evtouch drivers and calibrating a touchscreen

[12:53] <grimsqueaker13> can anyone tell me of a way to make mysql server listen on only one interface out of 2 in ubuntu? i know i can turn off bind-address but i dont want to allow access from the internet, only from the local network
[12:54] <epsi^eee> hi
[12:54] <kai> Hi
[12:54] <epsi^eee> is anyone here knowing bout ubuntu on an eeepc :o
[12:55] <kai> Is it weird i don't get a encrypted message when trying to register an PGP key
[12:55] <Dr_willis> !eeepc
[12:55] <WalloO> epsi^eee, I know it works
[12:55] <epsi^eee> hehe
[12:55] <epsi^eee> it works yes
[12:55] <epsi^eee> but
[12:55] <CaptainMorgan> I'm not sure what changed recently... but none of any hyperlinks when clicked are opening in a browser(from outside a browser) - they're not opening at all. A link from an RSS reader, general email, an IM... some other desktop application.. do not open. Links only work within the browser... any idea how I can change this so that I can open links as I used to from other apps ?
[12:55] <epsi^eee> my 4gb are 98% full :D
[12:55] <bazhang> epsi^eee, #eeepc and www.eeeuser.com wiki
[12:56] <soundray> epsi^eee: get a 900 ;)
[12:56] <clintchance> GUys im trying to make a program i built run commands as root but will not pop up a password window.. Anyone know how to accomplish?
[12:56] <bazhang> clintchance, what program
[12:57] <WalloO> clintchance, use /etc/sudoers file
[12:57] <clintchance> bazhang, it only contains two commands both are modprobe
[12:57] <juzzydee> True or False: There is no known way of getting Ubuntu 64, AMD, ATI, Wine and Counter Strike Source to play nice?
[12:57] <soundray> clintchance: start the program with sudo
[12:57] <bazhang> juzzydee, appdb could answer that best
[12:57] <clintchance> soundray, how?
[12:57] <soundray> clintchance: 'sudo name_of_program'
[12:57] <clintchance> soundray but it will still ask for pass
[12:58] <WalloO> clintchance, if your username is raoul and your script /usr/local/bin/fan1.py, then in /etc/sudoers add: this line: raoul ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/fan1.py
[12:58] <clintchance> soundray and its be gksudo
[12:58] <soundray> clintchance: yes, if it's graphical
[12:59] <clintchance> Wallo0 Ok one sec let me see what it does
[12:59] <soundray> clintchance: hold on...
[12:59] <soundray> clintchance: do you know how to edit /etc/sudoers?
[12:59] <soundray> clintchance: you have to use 'sudo visudo'
[12:59] <clintchance> Soundray is there a special way?
[12:59] <soundray> clintchance: you have to use 'sudo visudo'
[13:00] <WalloO> clintchance, be carreful, you have to make /etc/sudoers writable to be able to edit it, then put it back unreadable. use sudo -i to be root before editing it. And test that sudo still work before leaving your root session, because if there is any mistake, you will no more be able to sudo
[13:00] <clintchance> soundray to execute the program
[13:00] <dom> Hello, I have a problem with my Intel T5600 Dual Core CPU
[13:00] <clintchance> ?
[13:00] <soundray> clintchance: if you want to follow WalloO's advice and modify /etc/sudoers, you should use 'sudo visudo'
[13:00] <dom> both cores won't go over 1000Mhz even when they're both at 100%
[13:00] <WalloO> clintchance, you have to make it unwritable, not unreadable, sorry
[13:00] <bazhang> dom hardware problem?
[13:00] <legend2440> CaptainMorgan: have youchecked  system>preferences>preferred applications?
[13:00] <dom> not sure
[13:00] <dom> one morge:
[13:01] <palmje> ﻿soundray: mplayer uses alsa by default - in the preferences i had to select USB audio
[13:01] <dom> random processes start eating the entire cpu power
[13:01] <clintchance> Wallo0, can i just chmod it? Do you have its base mod?
[13:01] <soundray> palmje: in mplayer preferences?
[13:01] <dom> processes like vlc, or even deluge
[13:01] <clintchance> as in 777,6444, 555?
[13:01] <WalloO> clintchance, follow soundray advice to edit sudoers
[13:01] <CaptainMorgan> legend2440, oh you know what? I removed firefox 3b5 altogether and installed 2.0....
[13:01] <clintchance> Il get back to you guys
[13:02] <WalloO> clintchance, no, use sudo visudo as suggested by soundray
[13:02] <CaptainMorgan> legend2440, by preferred apps doens't list it
[13:02] <CaptainMorgan> but
[13:02] <palmje> soundtray: the prferences i was talking about was system->preferences->sound
[13:02] <soundray> palmje: but that's what I originally told you to do, no?
[13:02] <dom> any way to tell my cpu to use all of its power?
[13:02] <WalloO> clintchance, sudo visudo will take care of everything for you in a safe way. Just use visudo (I hope you can use VI)
[13:02] <dom> on windows, it worked fine
[13:03] <clintchance> clint@clint-laptop:~$ sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[13:03] <clintchance> [sudo] password for clint:
[13:03] <clintchance> usage: visudo [-c] [-q] [-s] [-V] [-f sudoers]
[13:03] <soundray> dom: install cpuburn and run 'burnP6', it should bring it up
[13:03] <alexei>  etc/fstab: theo2:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 -> mount /home says "wrong fstab, bad superblock ..."  What is wrong?
[13:03] <WalloO> clintchance, just do sudo visudo
[13:03] <palmje> soundtray: yes - it works for most applications, but mplayer doesn;t seem to use those settings
[13:03] <gabbler> clintchance: just do sudo visudo
[13:03] <gabbler> :)
[13:03] <palmje> soundtray: so it just uses the normal speaker output...
[13:03] <alexei> where do I get /sbin/mount.nfs?
[13:04] <mgolisch> yeah mplayer doesnt lookup stuff in gconf
[13:04] <soundray> !nfs | alexei
[13:04] <mgolisch> palmje: but you can configure the audiooutput plugin in your ~/.mplayer/config file
[13:04] <clintchance> Guys ok iminbut im not at all familiar with vi.
[13:04] <WalloO> clintchance, be carefulla to allow write access on your script only to root.
[13:04] <CaptainMorgan> legend2440, how do I add firefox to the list of preferred browsers? it only lists epiphany and custom... when I put "firefox" into the command line for a custom browser, the links still do not open in firefox - but now they open in thunderbird... since I changed mail reader from evolution to tb
[13:05] <soundray> clintchance: are you sure it's vi? On standard Ubuntu, it should be nano
[13:05] <gabbler> clintchance: what are you trying to do, visudo is not a normal app the syntax is very specific
[13:05] <soundray> clintchance: sorry, I'm wrong
[13:05] <palmje> soundtray: how do I set up options in there? my config file is empty
[13:06] <clintchance> is it at all possible to edit in gedit?
[13:06] <clintchance> oreven vim?
[13:06] <gabbler> clintchance: nope
[13:06] <gabbler> and nope
[13:06] <gabbler> clintchance: what do you want to do?
[13:06] <Dr_willis> clintchance,   rhw
[13:06] <clintchance> THen would you like to inform me on commands?
[13:06] <Dr_willis> clintchance,   theres the vimtutor program :)
[13:06] <WalloO> vi is a headack if you don't know how to deal with it
[13:07] <gabbler> ishinosan: did you get that thing fixed the other day, sorry i had to go
[13:07] <soundray> clintchance: if you prefer nano, run    sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
[13:07] <moDumass> hey all, has anyone here tried installing xubuntu on an old laptop?
[13:08] <clintchance> soundray thanks
[13:08] <WalloO> ok. I have to go.
[13:08] <moDumass> because our monitor turns off after its finnished loading
[13:08] <Dr_willis> moDumass,  thats what its good for. :) or other low end systems.
[13:08] <WalloO> bye
[13:08] <clintchance> yay thats better
[13:08] <Dr_willis> moDumass,  unless its a REAL low end laptop.  Define low end.
[13:08] <moDumass> Dr_willis, yeh thats why were trying it, but tis blowing out
[13:08] <alexei> soundray:  ok, now works. How do I set up a NIS client (possibly from DHCP)
[13:08] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know how I can add firefox to the list of preferred applications? it's not listed there... only "custom" and "epiphany" are.... and added the command "firefox" still doesn't get the change I want
[13:08] <moDumass> 128megs of ram should do
[13:08] <alexei> !nis
[13:09] <alexei> !yp
[13:09] <nomopofomo> Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to edit my Applications menu! Anyone know where the files are located?
[13:09] <Ryuho> ﻿can you hibernate even if your swap is smaller than your RAM size?
[13:09] <Dr_willis> moDumass,  old laptops can be very... weird and problemmatic sadly.  You may want to try PuppyLinux if the thing is real low end.
[13:09] <clintchance> ah fuck
[13:09] <gabbler> nomopofomo: have you tried right clicking on the top and then select edit menus
[13:09] <clintchance> >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 23 <<<
[13:09] <soundray> alexei: sorry, I don't know -- still, don't fish with the bot please -- ask the channel
[13:09] <Mercuree> does anyone have any idea howto enable remote kdm login?
[13:09] <jussi01> !ohmy | clintchance
[13:09] <clintchance> i knew it was too good to be true
[13:10] <gabbler> clintchance: if you tell me what you want to add i can wlk you through the vi commands if you want
[13:10] <nomopofomo> gabbler, yes but that doesn't allow me to delete empty and useless folders.
[13:10] <soundray> clintchance: control your temper and tell us what you put into line 23
[13:10] <gabbler> nomopofomo: use rm -r
[13:10] <nomopofomo> gabbler, ...where?
[13:10] <Huiu> guys plz is anyone that can help me with a soundcard problem?
[13:11] <gabbler> nomopofomo: from the cli
[13:11] <clintchance> Ahh nevermind i figured waht i di wrong forgot the user
[13:11] <nomopofomo> gabbler, "CLI"?
[13:11] <nomopofomo> oh command line interface
[13:11] <soundray> !sound | Huiu
[13:11] <gabbler> nomopofomo: from the command line, bash
[13:11] <dom> any more ideas, anyone? :(
[13:11] <nomopofomo> gabbler, okay... I would but I don't know what directory to navigate to
[13:11] <gabbler> dom: for what, i missed your thread
[13:12] <clintchance> Yay, no error
[13:12] <CaptainMorgan> nevermind! it appears I needed firefox-2 not firefox.... weird... who came up with that naming scheme?
[13:12] <gabbler> nomopofomo: do you know where the file/folder is?
[13:12] <clintchance> Now what do i do to the file?
[13:12] <CaptainMorgan> since 3.0 only requires the name firefox
[13:12] <soundray> dom: no success with burnP6 ?
[13:12] <mesut> hi
[13:12] <clintchance> set it to root only read?
[13:12] <CaptainMorgan> thanks legend2440 !
[13:12] <nomopofomo> gabbler, no, that's what I'm asking.................
[13:12] <alexei> hi! how to query the package info, eg "synaptic", before installing if I am unsure what it is?
[13:12] <nomopofomo> gabbler, where do I go to edit the Applications menu?
[13:13] <legend2440> CaptainMorgan: your welcome
[13:13] <soundray> clintchance: nothing, visudo handles that for you
[13:13] <mesut> i want to test if a hardware (a usb gprs/edge/3g card) will work with ubuntu804, will the result with livecd will be same with installed version ?
[13:13] <clintchance> soundray, no to the file i just set to run
[13:13] <Pascal[Quebec]> sys -} pref } main menu
[13:13] <Nimblefinger> hmm *** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
[13:13] <Nimblefinger> *** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
[13:13] <Nimblefinger> *** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
[13:13] <Nimblefinger> *** full path to glib-config.
[13:13] <FloodBot1> Nimblefinger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:13] <gabbler> nomopofomo: right click on the panel, then select edit menus
[13:13] <m__> :mesut problably
[13:13] <Nimblefinger> ahh paste.ubuntu, i shall remember that one
[13:14] <soundray> clintchance: making it executable? 'chmod u+x filename'
[13:14] <nomopofomo> gabbler, forget it dude
[13:14] <clintchance> i did that soundray...
[13:14] <avoozl> is there any easy way to get a statically linked insmod for amd64?  I'm running a 32bit userland on a 64bit kernel, and ofcourse now I can't insmod any modules
[13:14] <Nimblefinger> but, how do i go about finding something to remove that error when compiling xmms?
[13:14] <friede1> hi
[13:14] <clintchance> soundray it was something about allowing no access but to root to read?
[13:14] <Pascal[Quebec]> Hi , I need to close firefox, but it's already close...
[13:14] <friede1> has someone some expirience with distributed ssh
[13:14] <clintchance> sudo killall firerox
[13:14] <avoozl> paradon: did you try: killall firefox  ?
[13:14] <Pascal[Quebec]> tks
[13:15] <microwaver> since i'm not getting any response in the xubuntu i'm experiencing troubles logging in with xcfe session, it only gives a black screen with a cross as cursor
[13:15] <gabbler> nomopofomo: sorry i don't know what you mean by edit, obviously :)
[13:15] <clintchance> sudo killall firefox**
[13:15] <nomopofomo> Hi, I'm trying to edit my Applications menu. There are some left-over icons and folders that I wanted to remove but don't know where it's physically located.
[13:15] <threedee> !openldap
[13:15] <soundray> clintchance: that was referring to /etc/sudoers -- but it's not necessary if you did it with visudo
[13:15] <nomopofomo> gabbler, that's okay
[13:15] <clintchance> soundray,ok..  now for the testil be back in a sec
[13:15] <Pascal[Quebec]> super
[13:15] <Pascal[Quebec]> bye
[13:15] <gabbler> nomopofomo: right in the applications, dropdown or in the places
[13:16] <soundray> nomopofomo: System-Preferences-Main Menu
[13:16] <Ziroday-laptop> How do i know what resolution my screen is working at?
[13:17] <nomopofomo> Ok, nobody gets it but that's okay. Here's the deal. I uninstalled a windows program using wine and now there are remnants of icons and links that I'd like to be gone so I'm figuring there is a configuration file or physical structure somewhere that holds that information.
[13:17] <soundray> Ziroday-laptop: use a magnifying glass and count the rows and columns of pixels
[13:17] <Ziroday-laptop> soundray: anything easier?
[13:17] <threedee> system -> preferences -> Screen Resolution
[13:18] <legend2440> Ziroday-laptop: in terminal type   xrandr
[13:18] <Ziroday-laptop> thanks all
[13:18] <soundray> Ziroday-laptop: are you running X at the moment?
[13:18] <zloog> nomopofomo: you mean in the wine application menu?
[13:18] <Nimblefinger> hmm I have run apt-get install libglib2.0-dev  but i still get this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/23288/
[13:18] <Ziroday-laptop> yes
[13:18] <dom> brb
[13:18] <soundray> Ziroday-laptop: then see if legend2440's suggestion works
[13:18] <m__> did anyone tried oscope, the ozillator via soundcard ?
[13:19] <zloog> nomopofomo: ???
[13:19] <Nimblefinger> I get the above error message when I run ./configure
[13:19] <Nimblefinger> for xmms
[13:19] <nomopofomo> zloog, I suppose? Under my Applications menu in GNOME, there are still some icons and links left over from a program I recently uninstalled..
[13:19] <clintchance> soundray,     same as before and i ran it in terminal as well and it still asks for pass.   Maby there is an easier way to accomplish the task..   Shouldent modprobe apply even after a restart?
[13:19] <nomopofomo> zloog, and it's under the wine submenu
[13:20] <legend2440> soundray: i like the magnifying glass idea better. very creative
[13:20] <zloog> nomopofomo: lemme see
[13:20] <dom> hm, who was it earlier that had a solution for my cpu problem?
[13:20] <dom> :(
[13:20] <avoozl> hmm ok 32bit userland in 64bit kernel is a tad tricky
[13:20] <numan_> nick numan
[13:21] <Hondo_Kitsune> how do you kill a process that is not responding?
[13:21] <jatt> kill
[13:21] <jatt> !kill
[13:21] <soundray> dom: not a solution, just something to check
[13:21] <dom> kill processid
[13:21] <clintchance> soundray?
[13:21] <dom> ok, what was ist?
[13:21] <Hondo_Kitsune> it is a wine app, and i tried ps to get the ID, there is none
[13:21] <jatt> !kill
[13:21] <numan_> nick ali
[13:21] <leoncamel> hey. how can I use zsh-dbg from command line ? My zsh crashed here . I want debug it with zsh-dbg
[13:21] <soundray> dom: are you giving orders?
[13:21] <zloog> nomopofomo: I think you just need to right click on your gnome menu, go into wine and delete what you dont want. As far as I know the wine submenu there doesnt pull information from your ~/.wine folder
[13:22] <dom> Hondo_Kitsune, get the pid using #top
[13:22] <zloog> nomopofomo: edit the menu yourself is what i mean
[13:22] <Win2Ubuntu> hi all, quick quesh...how do i add a place to the PLACES menu?
[13:22] <Hondo_Kitsune> dom: using that?
[13:22] <nomopofomo> zloog, I figured it out. For future reference where's the structure information for the Applications menu kept, do you know?
[13:22] <Hondo_Kitsune> *what
[13:22] <jatt> or use the System Monitor
[13:22] <jatt> and kill it there
[13:22] <clintchance> Anyone<<<<>>>> Knw how to make modprobe effect even afrter a restart?
[13:22] <dom> yes
[13:23] <gerzel> Q: I'm trying to get Yakuake to work correctly it is starting up but when I hit F12 Desktop Search comes up.  How can I change F12 to bring up Yakuake?
[13:23] <dom> you type top in the console, on the left side you'll find the process id.
[13:23] <soundray> clintchance: it's not quite clear what you mean
[13:23] <jatt> clintchance: put the module name in /etc/modules
[13:23] <soundray> clintchance: you can add a module name to /etc/modules and it will be loaded on each boot
[13:23] <Hondo_Kitsune> thx
[13:23] <zloog> nomopofomo: I think it is stored somewhere in the gnome vfs, but it something i dont know hwo to change without using the gui :(
[13:23] <jatt> exactly
[13:23] <dom> soundray, what do you mean?
[13:23] <SergXcom> ghbdtn
[13:24] <leoncamel> hey. folks. how can I use a debug version of zsh ?
[13:24] <clintchance> soundray, all that script is doing is modprobing, And from what im told modprobe shouldnt have to be run at everystartup manuly.. Is there something wrong or ami doing it wrong
[13:24] <SergXcom> hello =)
[13:24] <nomopofomo> zloog, k thanks ^_^
[13:24] <Frogzoo> leoncamel: call it with -x
[13:24] <clintchance> soundray, ok let me try
[13:24] <Nimblefinger> Anyone able to identify why I'm getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/23288/ when i have run sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev with no issues, I'm trying to setup xmms
[13:24] <SergXcom> im in runtu 2.0 =)
[13:24] <soundray> dom: you don't seem to value my advice much (you forget my advice and my nick), and then you ask for help as if you had some entitlement
[13:25] <clintchance> soundray, ahh nowonder its not even mentioned in there
[13:25] <quinn> nomopofome?
[13:26] <dom> no, sorry, thing was I entered IRC using irssi, and it only remembers 40 lines or so. I didn't forget it. Also, I know I'm entitled to help or anything, I'm just hoping.  sorry
[13:26] <Hondo_Kitsune> kill didn't work
[13:26] <quinn> just find it in /home/yourname/.local/share/applications/wine/  and   /home/yourname/.local/share/desktop-directories, then delete it
[13:26] <leoncamel> Frogzoo: I mean execute /usr/lib/debug/bin/zsh4.dbg instead of -x option ..
[13:26] <soundray> dom: I was suggesting you run burnP6 from the cpuburn package, and see if that brings your frequency up
[13:27] <Hondo_Kitsune> isn't there something that turns your cursor into a skull and crossbones which, upon clicking, kills the app?
[13:27] <soundray> Hondo_Kitsune: xkill
[13:27] <justin__> Hello, is anyone here?
[13:27] <astute> xkill, hondo.
[13:27] <astute> the x is in there.  xkill
[13:27] <Hondo_Kitsune> thanks, that fixed it
[13:28] <zloog> quinn: Thats really cool, thanks
[13:28] <astute> sometimes 'sudo xkill' will be cleaner at removing the offending windows
[13:28] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[13:28] <grobda24> justin__ ... just 1295 people.
[13:28] <fsufitch> heyy guys i'm having a problem with my firefox 3. i've heard other ubuntu users complaining about rendering issues, and i thought i'd ask in here. the problem is all these random style="background-color: white" that are appearing in html rendered by firefox 3, even if it's not in the original html source. i even see this in mozilla's own features page for firefox 3 on the tabs at the top
[13:28] <fsufitch> page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
[13:28] <quinn> zloog,  is nomepofome gone?
[13:29] <Frogzoo> leoncamel: change your $PATH variable
[13:29] <zloog> quinn: maybe but I dont think you prefixed a message with his name so he might not have seen your reply
[13:29] <grobda24> fsufitch ... I think you can force your own style sheet on every page.
[13:29] <fsufitch> i'm running an aptitude full-upgrade right now, and it includes some firefox, but i'm wondering if others have also had my problem / how they fixed or worked around it
[13:29] <fsufitch> grobda24: this occurs on too many pages to force my style on ;)
[13:30] <grobda24> fsufitch .. but the default Firefox CSS will change every page.
[13:30] <soundray> dom: if that doesn't bring it up, I suspect that it's overheating
[13:31] <fsufitch> grobda24: wait, so you're suggesting to change the default firefox css? how do i do that?
[13:31] <fsufitch> to me it looks like it's a transparency / cascading issue
[13:31] <fsufitch> when a background isn't provided, it uses white by default
[13:31] <fsufitch> instead of looking at what's below it
[13:31] <Huiu> ﻿i had just connect a new sound card, i used an audigy se and  now i had just pluged a fireone tascam, i have no sound... i dont know if linux had install drivers or smth cause i dont see the device in audio controls, and i didnt find any help on forums for this specific cards...
[13:32] <astute> google it.
[13:32] <dom> it shouldn't be, it's not that warm, it didnt overheat with windows and it usually goes down like nothing after I close the irresponding windows
[13:32] <Huiu> i did
[13:32] <tech0007> Huiu: lspci
[13:32] <Huiu> nothing came up
[13:32] <Win2Ubuntu> hey ppl, is there a way to modify the bottom section where the open windows are shown. what i wanna know is if its possible to get rid of the text
[13:32] <amikrop> In Pidgin, in Tools->Preferences->Conversations, what does the second option mean?
[13:32] <soundray> astute, please, that's not how we help here
[13:32] <dom> Ill try cpuburn now, soundray
[13:32] <astute> lspci as root should give a chip set.  try that.  and search for installation methods.
[13:33] <astute> might have to go to oss, they cover more ground.
[13:33] <grobda24> fsufitch ... I can't find it. been a while. Search the Firefox site or use the Greasemonkey add on.
[13:33] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: are you in GNOME window manager? if so, you can just right click and change the bar
[13:33] <Guillem> I've a Canon fotocopy machine around which has ethernet enabled printing. Ubuntu Gutsy just does OK locating automatically the machine without any hassle. However every print page I send gets lost. I've seen at a mate's windows box that he is prompted for a user/password. How can I setup these in cups?
[13:33] <fsufitch> grobda24: okay
[13:33] <ragadab> hi there. im use macbook pro, my cpus work about 0%, but fans run 6000 rpm and temp 67C, applesmc running. What else i may do to make it cooler and quiter
[13:33] <Win2Ubuntu> fsufitch, using GNOME
[13:33] <ragadab> ?
[13:33] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: let me get my GNOME computer up...
[13:34] <zloog> Is there a simple way I can have root run a script at the very end of bootup? (without needing me to log into my user account)
[13:34] <Win2Ubuntu> fsufitch, doesnt seem to be a general option to do that
[13:34] <tech0007> zloog: /etc/rc.local
[13:34] <Huiu> but still didnt found any installation methods in google, i did search and i always solve my problem like that but this time didnt worked...
[13:34] <astute> ragadab.  that's a bios issue.  try manipulating power supply methods to cpu fan.
[13:34] <zloog> tech0007: Thanks, googleing now
[13:34] <ragadab> astute: im on efi bios, so no this settings
[13:34] <astute> mine is pvm, auto, and voltage.
[13:34] <astute> auto tends to work best.
[13:35] <tech0007> zloog: just add ur script, no need for sudo
[13:35] <dom> soundray, it went up to 1.3ghz for a couple of seconds, but then it went back to 1ghz, and overloaded on that
[13:35] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: i know, and i'm trying to figure out what i did to get rid of mine, because i'm using avant-window-manager and i didnt need the window list anymore ;)
[13:35] <grobda24> ragadab ... I think what you need is "laptop mode".
[13:35] <Win2Ubuntu> yeah, i did use avn for a while
[13:35] <tech0007> !pm | justin_
[13:35] <grobda24> !laptop | ragadab
[13:35] <zloog> tech0007: cool, thats perfect
[13:35] <Win2Ubuntu> i liked it, but there were also things about it that annoyed me
[13:36] <astute> cpu fan is board level.  no known stable os hack.  to dangerouus
[13:36] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: okay i got it
[13:36] <Win2Ubuntu> oooh, really?
[13:36] <fsufitch> what you need to do is right click just right of all of the window buttons shown
[13:37] <fsufitch> then you get a menu that includes "- remove from panel"
[13:37] <Win2Ubuntu> aaah, yeah think i got it
[13:37] <Win2Ubuntu> mints to the left tho
[13:38] <alexei_> hello everybody. How do I search for packages if I am not sure what are the names. For instance, how do I proceed with "acroread". I am runnung "aptitude" but its search function is obscure to me...
[13:38] <hccmb> hello there , i am trying to install planeshift but get this error libCgGL.so missing , any tips are wellcome
[13:38] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: i don't like the way they had that. they should have handles for the applets like KDE has
[13:38] <Win2Ubuntu> what do i do then fsufitch? :-)
[13:38] <hccmb> try synaptic , or add and remove programs
[13:38] <tech0007> alexei: apt-cache search [packagename]
[13:38] <erUSUL> alexei_: aptitude search acroread (keep in mind that acroread is on 3th party medibuntu repo)
[13:38] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: wait, what do you mean, mints to the left?
[13:38] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | alexei_
[13:38] <hccmb> any one here playing planeshift?
[13:39] <Win2Ubuntu> sorry, my menu that says remove from panel is just to the left of the window list
[13:39] <zloog> tech0007: worked like a charm!
[13:39] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: i think i meant to say to the left, and i said right instead. sorry
[13:39] <tech0007> zloog: thats great
[13:39] <Win2Ubuntu> hehehe, it happens
[13:39] <Win2Ubuntu> so, yup im there :-)
[13:40] <philosophia> yo
[13:40] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: gj. note to self: remember that little quirk
[13:40] <grobda24> alexei_ ... system --> Admin --> Synaptic. It can search the package descriptions.
[13:40] <ragadab> grobda24: thank u, will read i
[13:40] <ragadab> it
[13:41] <drew> hi. I can't get gvfs-fuse working (i.e. entries in ~/.gvfs) - any ideas?
[13:41] <pavan> hello, I downloaded jdk 6, installation file is in bin format. So how to install the file
[13:41] <pavan> for ubuntu
[13:41] <philosophia> when i run 'gksu "update-manager -c" to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 - it just quits
[13:41] <philosophia> no error msg
[13:41] <Felonious> !themes
[13:42] <dom> how can I look up my cpus temperature?
[13:42] <Felonious> ?
[13:42] <Felonious> !theme
[13:42] <philosophia> do i have to upgrade from cdrom?
[13:42] <Win2Ubuntu> fsufitch, whats the next step? :-)
[13:42] <drew> pavan: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[13:42] <neurobuntu> philosophia, it depends on what repositories you have enabled
[13:42] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: what do you mean? didn't that remove the window list?
[13:43] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: or do you want to remove the whole panel, cuz that's a lot simpler?
[13:43] <Win2Ubuntu> hahaha
[13:43] <Win2Ubuntu> no no
[13:43] <philosophia> which do i need?
[13:43] <grobda24> ragadab ..np
[13:43] <Win2Ubuntu> i do want the window list
[13:43] <fsufitch> ohh
[13:43] <drew> dom: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature or similar
[13:43] <Win2Ubuntu> i just dont want the text next to the icons..like i just want the icons
[13:43] <fsufitch> oh
[13:43] <Win2Ubuntu> ive tried avn, but dont really like it...thought it would be maybe a little quick trick to just not have the text
[13:44] <dom> holy crap 86°
[13:44] <dom> that's not normal is it?
[13:44] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: let me think a bit; i dont think there is a "quick trick"
[13:44] <Win2Ubuntu> yeah, doesnt seem like there is
[13:44] <Win2Ubuntu> unless someone has written their own windowlist thingo hahhaa
[13:44] <drew> dom: many machines turn off at 90
[13:44] <ragadab> grobda24: but.. you know i have strange behaviour - after restore from suspending - my macbook works very quiet
[13:45] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: there is a very good chance that they have, although the only place i would know where to look is gnome-look.org
[13:45] <dom> thats weird
[13:45] <dom> it never overheated on windows
[13:45] <dom> I mean it got worm and all, but It didn't shut down like it does now every now and then
[13:45] <chazco> Hi.. anyone know how to set defaults for Totem? I'd like to set it to auto-go to 16:9 aspect and have subtitles turned off...
[13:45] <ragadab> grobda24: but i dont know how make this for all the time
[13:45] <dom> it says cooling mode passive
[13:45] <drew> dom: are the fan(s) clear? maybe put a pedestal fan on to it. check top for any cpu hogs
[13:45] <Win2Ubuntu> ok, ill have a browse, thanks fsufitch :-)
[13:45] <grobda24> ragadab ... search the forums. that's also a known problem with suspend in Asus netbooks.
[13:46] <dom> its a laptop, I cant open it up unfortunately :(
[13:46] <fsufitch> Win2Ubuntu: np, it doesn't seem like i helped much tho... good luck
[13:46] <Huiu> ﻿i had pluged a tascam fireone soundcard, but linux dont detect it. I had search google for driver instalation, alsa soundcard mixer for support, and freebob for support but i dont find anything, that meens that this card is not supported by ubuntu?
[13:46] <alexei_> erUSUL, grobda24: thanks!
[13:46] <ragadab> grobda24: ok
[13:46] <Win2Ubuntu> hey, u gave it a shot, good to bounce ideas of a friendly person :-)
[13:46] <drew> dom: search online for a way to turn on the fans
[13:47] <SitUbuntuSit> dom, my computer sometimes gets twice that :( i just use actual house fans. it's a laptop too.
[13:48] <dom> the fans sound online kind of
[13:48] <drew> dom: but can you feel warm air? (could be hdd noise)
[13:50] <grimsqueaker13> i run ssh-add on gnome startup (system-prefs-sessions) and i want to start rsync running as soon as i have typed in my passphrase to allow rsync to get the remote pc without asking for a password. anyone have any idea how to make the rsync command wait for the passphrase?
[13:50] <dom> yeah fans are on, definitely
[13:50] <dom> it went down to 80
[13:50] <zloog> Anyone here use gnash fulltime? Can I use it for most of my video watching without issue yet?
[13:50] <grobda24> alexei ... np
[13:51] <Huiu> .
[13:51] <zloog> grimsqueaker13: you want to run a root command as soon as you log in but you dont want to have to enter the root password?
[13:51] <dom> still, the cpu usage is way low
[13:51] <dom> I don't know why the temp goes up that high
[13:52] <grimsqueaker13> zloog: hmm... now that you put it that way, never mind :)
[13:52] <hmuller> gcc by default is supposed to attempt to conform to a freestanding implementation, but in Ubuntu appears to conform to a hosted implementation.  Can anyone shed light?
[13:52] <zloog> grimsqueaker13: it can be done i think, but you need to enter in the password as plaintext into a text file and sudo with the -S option (most people will tell you thats generaly bad)
[13:53] <cham_eleon> Does anyone h ave an idea why two fritz card pci don't work? I always get a irq_handler Problem from fcpci.
[13:53] <purpzey> 2
[13:54] <grimsqueaker13> zloog: ya, i think ill stop being lazy and click on a shortcut when i want to rsync :) thx tho
[13:54] <Win2Ubuntu> so is XFCE any good? would i have more luck with that?
[13:54] <KFC> Is there everyone has enjoined FireFox3.0 yet?
[13:56] <zloog> grimsqueaker13: Or if you are still interested you could write a script for the root crontab that will invoke rsynch if and only if it is not running and your user is logged in, else do nothing.
[13:57] <alexei_> hi, which package to install to get good bitmapped *console* fonts for X-based terminals? Tha AA-fonts in console sting my eyes...
[13:57] <Huiu> maybe its bad idea that i had pluged the external soundcard on the audigy's firewire port? i should try to plug it on a different firewire port so my external sound card is detected?
[13:58] <SmokeyD> Hi people. Question: who has a good tip about setting up a multimedia system in my house which I can use to play music in different rooms, play movies on my tv, etc?
[13:58] <SmokeyD> any websites or (Ubuntu based) distro that comes to mind?
[13:58] <zloog> SmokeyD: It isnt in the repos yet but the XBMC for linux is getting pretty mature
[13:58] <neil_d> tying to get a USB webcam going, when I plug it in I get "....gspca_core.c: USB GSPCA camera found. (TV8532)" :) I tried setting up Ekiga but it doesn't seem to find the camera can anyone help?
[13:59]  * SmokeyD is checking zloog's suggestion
[13:59] <zloog> SmokeyD: Or you could use mythubuntu, but I've always found the myth front-end to be painfully slow
[14:01] <fsufitch> grobda24: apparently my little issue was BECAUSE of greasemonkey. i turned it off and now firefox looks beautiful
[14:01] <grobda24> fsufitch ... monkey says ... ug !
[14:02] <jacw> gday
[14:02] <gordonjcp> neil_d: do you get a /dev/video device?
[14:03] <jacw> no, still working out ubuntu
[14:03] <dom> how do I burn an ISO file?
[14:03] <zloog> dom: double-click it ^_^
[14:03] <dom> sweet
[14:04] <zloog> dom: power of lunix!
[14:04] <dom> its an ubuntu image, how can I add more files to it?
[14:04] <Huiu> lspci should detect my external soundcard?
[14:04] <jacw> still trying to get java and flash to work
[14:04] <ArrowLance> hey, how might i make other computers be able to connect to the internet through this one?
[14:05] <CVirus> Can I resize an ntfs partition from the installer without data loss ?
[14:05] <PMantis> Does anyone have a URL they can give me stating that deb packages are typically installed to (for example) /usr/sbin instead of /usr/local/sbin ?
[14:05] <CVirus> I mean is it expected to loose data after doing the resize ?
[14:05] <jacw> test
[14:07] <zloog> dom: I think you can use Iso master
[14:07] <pavan_> how to open a bin file?
[14:07] <zloog> dom: never tried it though
[14:08] <th0r> PMantis, the use of the folder architecture varies from distro to distro. There is a Linux Standard Base project, but I don't know of a distro that totally conforms to it
[14:08] <zloog> pavan_ chmod +x shfile
[14:08] <definitely> Can't you burn with Brasero Disc Burning
[14:08] <definitely>  ?
[14:08] <zloog> pavan then ./shfile
[14:08] <dom> nevermind, I'll just put it on my sd card
[14:09] <drew> pavan_: don't install the jdk that way
[14:09] <PMantis> th0r: My question was meant to justify *me* creating a package that installs a binary to /usr/sbin rather than /usr/local/sbin. My understanding is that /usr//local is for hand-maintained files for THAT system, and /usr is for packages.
[14:10] <drew> pavan_: it's already packaged in ubuntu - like I said: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[14:10] <Huiu> i have an external sound card which plugs with firewire, i should find drivers for firewire port so the the sound card get detected? lspci detects the firewire port normaly but not the soundcard
[14:10] <pavan> ok.. but how to open it after installing
[14:10] <drew> pavan_: open what?
[14:10] <pavan> jdk
[14:10] <th0r> PMantis, that is pretty much the convention I use, but I have never seen it in writing.
[14:10] <drew> pavan_: what are you trying to do?
[14:11] <tyberion> hi is there any application that can store a whole URL with up to 3 links below, for offline browsing..
[14:11] <th0r> PMantis, but then again...in Suse I used /opt instead of /usr/local
[14:11] <pavan> i want to use java for creating my java programs
[14:11] <zloog> th0r: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ <-- there it is in writing
[14:11] <alexei> omg, I switched to console with C-Alt-F1, and when I try switching back with C-Alt-F7 I get only black screen. Apps seem to be running, tells "ps x"... What is wrong?
[14:11] <Sandeep`> How can I check if a file is executable ?
[14:12] <jrib> Sandeep`: ls -ld file
[14:12] <drew> pavan: just run the part of the jdk you want, e.g. javac
[14:12] <pavan> ok
[14:12] <pavan> thanks
[14:13] <trask> Sandeep`: in terminals the ls command sometimes display executables in green text.
[14:13] <Sandeep`> Thanks trask and jrib ;)
[14:14] <definitely> Anyone can recomend me Good Flash Editor ?
[14:14] <alexei> oh, never mind its Cntrl-Alt-F9 where X is running!
[14:14] <th0r> zloog, thanks...I'll stick that with my ABS and NAG
[14:14] <tsb`> hi, i need some help with unrealircd :> ?
[14:14] <tsb`> somone..
[14:15] <tyberion> nobody knows about a tool "leeching" whole web pages so you can view them when your offline?
[14:15] <RichiH> tyberion: wget
[14:16] <tyberion> RichiH: and what if the website needs a user/pass for example?
[14:16] <jrib> tyberion: wget and httrack
[14:16] <Huiu> i feel i am getting ignored for my problem, am i selfish, or no one can help me? :( claps
[14:16] <jrib> !patience | Huiu
[14:16] <RichiH> tyberion: then you need to read the manpage ;)
[14:17] <gabbler> huiu: what is your problem?
[14:17] <RichiH> tyberion: you can make wget use the cookie you get after logging in
[14:17] <definitely> Anyone can recomend me a tool. for editing Flash ?
[14:17] <Huiu> ijrib: i know that and i love this community for that i dont blame u...
[14:17] <Huiu> gabbler: my external sound card is not detect from the ubuntu...
[14:18] <jrib> Huiu: the best way to get help is to just wait until new people join and repeat your question.  Also try the forums and mailing lists
[14:18] <gabbler> huiu: is it a usb?
[14:18] <Huiu> gabbler: firewire
[14:18] <soundray> dom: still here?
[14:18] <Magicdead> uhm could someone tell me where the entries of installed packages are stored? i had this package with a faulty uninstall script, so i uninstalled it manually but i have to remove the aptitude/dpkg entry as well ^^
[14:19] <Huiu> jrib: sorry m8 i am new in the community. i am a fun of everyones work here...
[14:19] <jrib> Magicdead: so remove it with aptitude
[14:19] <Magicdead> won't work ;)
[14:19] <jrib> Magicdead: you're doing it wrong :)
[14:19] <Magicdead> no i'm not
[14:19] <migrin> hiho
[14:19] <Magicdead> neither -f nor --purge worked
[14:20] <soundray> Magicdead: you should really fix the setup script that fails, rather than removing it manually
[14:20] <zloog> Magicdead: What package (just curious)
[14:20] <vlt> Hello. I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my notebook. Before I had Debian installed and the hd was called /dev/hda, now on Ubuntu it's /dev/sda. Any idea why?
[14:20] <jrib> Magicdead: you don't want to go edit these files manually, you're asking for trouble.  If you've already removed it to your satisfaction, then comment out the preremoval and postremoval scripts and remove it again
[14:20] <Magicdead> first the faulty script terminated because it said some file to uninstall wasn't found. so i created that file, ran it again, it uninstalled it and gave the error again that it could delkete that file because it didn0t exist ^^
[14:21] <scunizi> vlt, they are all referred to as sd(X) now... even if it's an ide drive
[14:21] <jrib> !who | Magicdead
[14:21] <Magicdead> zloog: ist vhba-module from the cdemu suite
[14:21] <soundray> vlt: there has been a change to the way IDE devices are handled. Is it giving you problems in any way?
[14:21] <jrib> Magicdead: do you understand what you need to do?
[14:22] <vlt> scunizi: Is this a modification to Ubuntu's kernel?
[14:22] <Magicdead> uhm where do i find the preremovel and postremoval scripts?
[14:22] <Magicdead> @ jrib
[14:22] <soundray> vlt: this page has an explanation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks
[14:22] <scunizi> vlt see soundray post above.. I'm not familure with all the particulars but soundray might be able to fill you in.
[14:22] <gabbler> huiu: does it show up in dmesg or messages when you plug it in?
[14:23] <soundray> Magicdead: /var/lib/dpkg/info
[14:23] <vlt> soundray: Thanks
[14:23] <Magicdead> oh and zloog http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/89003/30/ <-- the last post, that person had the same prob ^^
[14:24] <raj> hi
[14:24] <Huiu> gabbler: dmseg nor lspci detects it and no messages apear when i plug it :(
[14:24] <jrib> Magicdead: /var/lib/dpkg/info/
[14:24] <Magicdead> thanks ^^
[14:25] <zloog> Magicdead: Ahh, sorry I had a similar problem with a certain haskell library. I had to edit a /usr/lib/libghc6-hgl-dev/register.sh to get a clean uninstall. I dont know much about apt internals
[14:25] <gabbler> huiu: that is a problem , what type of card is it?
[14:25] <Magicdead> zloog: well the funny thing just was that it removed the file and THEN complained that the file didn't exist ^^
[14:26] <Magicdead> but the pre&postinstall thingy solved the problem, thanks :)
[14:26] <Huiu> gabbler: it is a tascam fireone firewire external sound card, maybe its a problem that i plug it in the audigy's firewire port? or its a sollution to disable my old sound card from the bios?(i used audigy1 se before)
[14:26] <definitely> anyonw know any tool for UBUNTU to edit Flash files ?
[14:27] <gabbler> huiu: yea sounds reasonable, have yougot a firewire port not on the audigy?
[14:28] <definitely> :S
[14:28] <Huiu> gabbler: no i dont m8 :( but i am thinking of buying anyway one because i need a 2nd one, do u think that a new firewire pci will solve the problem? i tryed to disable audigy from the bios but i cant find it...
[14:29] <gabbler> huiu: isn't the audigy a card? therefore i don't think you can, and therefore it probably isn't seen by ubunut, and if you add a pci in it is more likely that ubuntu will be able to see it and control it
[14:30] <soundray> definitely: I don't think there are any. Flash is a proprietary format and it would be legally difficult or impossible to create an open-source flash editor.
[14:30] <definitely> ﻿soundray: aaa ok, thnx for answer. :)
[14:30] <gabbler> huui: and then when you plug your new sounds card it it will recognise it, as you are seeing nothing neither is ubuntu therefore no sound!
[14:30] <drew> anyone knowledgeable about gvfs?
[14:31] <zloog> definitely: I agree with soundray on that one, We barely have a working flash player at all on linux :(
[14:31] <kamaly> hello guys
[14:31] <zloog> kamaly: HI HI
[14:32] <Huiu> gabbler: yea audigy is card, but i dont know how to do it :(,  but when i google this soundcard i didnt find any solution on detection, and alsa soundcard matrix and freebob, doesnt seem to support it, but do u think that ubuntu it self will detect it if i plug it in difernt firewire?
[14:32] <Huiu> gabbler: sry for not being more specific from the beggining
[14:33] <jordan_cbr> soundray, flash isnt a proprietary format
[14:33] <kamaly> have a small prob..am trying to edit source code....po files in particular to display my desired string b4 i compile...am searching for the current string n its nowhere to be seen...any pointers for the specific string or declaration to look for...pls help....ua help is appreciated....??
[14:33] <zloog> jordan_cbr: huh? what are you talking about. of course it is
[14:33] <jordan_cbr> http://www.adobe.com/openscreenproject/
[14:34] <jordan_cbr> http://www.riapedia.com/2008/05/01/adobe_opens_swf_format_launches_open_screen_project
[14:34] <zloog> kamaly: what language are you trying to program in?
[14:34] <gabbler> huiu: np, most soundcards these days are soundblaster compatible, so as long as ubuntu can detect it it will try, but you are not even getting to that point, if you were going to get a firewire anyway i would try that first, reduce the complexity by removing the audigy bti
[14:34] <drew> hi. I can't get gvfs-fuse working (i.e. entries in ~/.gvfs) - any ideas?
[14:34] <kamaly> c
[14:34] <kamaly> c language
[14:34] <gabbler> huiu: sorry bit not bti
[14:35] <zloog> kamaly: And can you explain a little better what it is you are trying to do?
[14:35] <Huiu> gabbler: remove it from bios or unplug it?
[14:35] <jordan_cbr> zloog, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/
[14:35] <LordOllie> kamaly, are you trying to find text in binary files?
[14:36] <zloog> jordan_cbr: Well that seems like a welcom development!
[14:36] <gabbler> huiu: not even that, leave it in add a firewire pci and then plug you soundcard into that new pci
[14:36] <kamaly> ok..am trying to hack cafe con leche...a cyber program (ccl.sf.net) to display a different name....name of the business...hope i've explained...
[14:36] <zloog> jordan_cbr: give me high hopes for gnash now
[14:36] <Huiu> gabbler: ok m8 i will try that! thank u m8 for your time rly thanx, u rock :)
[14:37] <gabbler> huiu: np, if only :)
[14:37] <zloog> kamaly: you should try talking to developers of the program you are attempting to change. They will know much more about it than we will
[14:37] <Huiu> gabbler: keep up the good work u rock ^ ^
[14:37] <LordOllie> kamaly, do you know how to use grep?
[14:38] <kamaly> yes i know...
[14:38] <jordan_cbr> zloog, gnash is a gnu/fsf project. Those guys are very.....
[14:38] <LordOllie> kamaly, then you should be able to find all the instances you wish to change and then change them
[14:38] <kamaly> but zloog the program is on sourceforge..opensource...
[14:38] <jordan_cbr> zloog, very fanatics
[14:38] <zloog> jordan_cbr: yea, but I still love them for it.
[14:39] <kamaly> i have gone thru' the po...files...sed and grep don't catch anything..just displays Cafe Con Leche....and i don't want the name....
[14:39] <jordan_cbr> zloog, ok... me to... but sometimes they are very "closed"
[14:39] <zloog> jordan_cbr: ...minded
[14:41] <kamaly> any more pointers pple pls..?
[14:41] <matveev> Hi, how do I make hostname to be set by DHCP on boot time in (k)ubuntu?
[14:41] <red> can saying fuck?
[14:41] <persi> hi having a problem here, I`ve created a folder, then deleted it and it disappeared but it wasnt moved to trash neither disk space was freed, ive placed identical folder to the same path and was unable to delete it
[14:41] <cjohnson> !ohmy | red
[14:41] <kamaly> you set hostname in /etc/hostname
[14:41] <red> what ?
[14:42] <gabbler> persi: maybe because you dont have the rights, use sudo to remove it
[14:42] <zloog> persi: Sounds odd. Did you do this through the commandline or with the gui?
[14:42] <cjohnson> persi, navigate to the folder's parent in terminal and type "ls -al" to see if it's still there?
[14:42] <kamaly> DHCP or static doesn't matter... matveev
[14:42] <red> can saying suck?
[14:42] <definitely> :)
[14:42] <red> :))
[14:42] <cjohnson> red, are you here for an ubuntu related question?
[14:42] <red> sorry #@@
[14:43] <red> hello world

[14:43] <zloog> hello red
[14:43] <red> :~)
[14:43] <gordonjcp> lol, "ohmy"
[14:43] <unavailable> anyone using ypops figure out how to send mail?
[14:43] <gordonjcp> cjohnson: maybe you should use !language instead ;-)
[14:43] <red> hello all, i am RedBull
[14:43] <kamaly> zloog and crew...any more pointers on po files in c language...?
[14:43] <cjohnson> gordonjcp, if i'm not mistaken, !ohmy and !language are aliases
[14:43] <zipper> Anyone managed to re-map the "+" and "-" keys on a Logitech MX518 mouse? I've tried using evdev, but i seems like no matter what i do i cannot get xev to register those two keys - and then i cant bind them to pageUp/down like i want. I read a guide using evrouter, but i haven't managed to get it working (if anyone got experience with evrouter, please speak up, maybe you could help me understand the guide). Any ideas on what i could do?
[14:44] <gordonjcp> cjohnson: yes, but "ohmy" sounds like a spectacularly rude word in my local language
[14:44] <cjohnson> zipper, I had better luck remapping my logitech mice buttons using btnx
[14:44] <red> ohmy
[14:44] <persi> no, it`s not here, actually I was able to remove the folder after reboot but the space is still taken
[14:44] <zipper> cjohnson, btnx? None of the guides i've read mentioned that
[14:44] <cjohnson> gordonjcp, "oh my" is hardly a rude phrase ;)
[14:44] <red> #sex
[14:44] <sataya> sorry=)
[14:44] <cjohnson> zipper, yeah, it's a lesser known one than evdev
[14:44] <cjohnson> zipper, it's wizard oriented
[14:44] <harris> guys help me... I just deleted my panel what will I do?
[14:44] <red> #sex #sex #sex
[14:45] <unavailable> ypops on wine... help
[14:45] <Huiu> anyone can tell me how to make my mouse side buttons hotkey back and front in firefox?
[14:45] <zipper> cjohnson, oh cool. Is it in the repos?
[14:45] <cjohnson> zipper, "click the button 5 times" "choose action for newly detected button" etc.
[14:45] <gordonjcp> cjohnson: yeah, but it's homophonic for word that would be far beyond a !language in here ;-)
[14:45] <cjohnson> red, please, take the random chatter elsewhere
[14:45] <gordonjcp> s/for/with/
[14:45] <zloog> harris you make a new one by right clicking on a panel that still exists and going add new panel
[14:45] <zipper> cjohnson, wonder if that will work, when xev does not register the buttons tho? Worth a try i guess
[14:45] <cjohnson> zipper, that i'm not sure of
[14:45] <zipper> k
[14:45] <harris> ok thanks....
[14:45] <cjohnson> zipper, it worked for me, xev wouldn't detect _any_ of my extra buttons
[14:45] <zipper> sounds promising, thanks
[14:46] <red> here any system operator?
[14:46] <cjohnson> Huiu, use xmodmap, and map them to "Alt + Left" and "Alt + Right"
[14:46] <unavailable> ypops on wine  says "mailbox unavailable" when trying to send help
[14:46] <zipper> !btnx
[14:46] <matveev> kamaly: my workstation reports the hostname I entered when installing Kubuntu, not the one assigned to it by DHCP server :-(
[14:46] <genii> red: If you cause a problem an operator will appear.

[14:47] <unavailable> ypops on wine  says "mailbox unavailable" when trying to send mail
[14:47] <Huiu> cjohnson: m8 i still dont understand how, i usexmodmap in terminal and then?
[14:48] <cjohnson> Huiu, that i'm not entirely sure of, I used btnx for my mouse buttons
[14:48] <dbalext> lol u guyz
[14:48] <cjohnson> Huiu, google "xmodmap tutorial" and i'm sure you'll get great results
[14:48] <red> oh shit like a redbull power on linux

[14:49] <Sock> hi, anyone knows if the fonts coming with ubuntu are free for  commercial use ?
[14:49] <red> what is launchpad?
[14:50] <cjohnson> !launchpad

[14:50] <boguh> hi, i want to install ubuntu on an gigabyte ga-ep35-ds3r. i created  a raid0 device but installer always shows me tweo devices
[14:50] <cjohnson> DBAlex, red
[14:50] <DBAlex> ah
[14:50] <DBAlex> KICK him then
[14:50] <DBAlex> ...
[14:50] <cjohnson> I'm not an op or I would :(
[14:50] <DBAlex> wait
[14:50] <DBAlex> yeah
[14:50] <red> oh thx
[14:50] <zloog> Sock: I believe that the fonts installed by default with ubuntu will be free.
[14:50] <DBAlex> jeebus, a channel like this should have more than 1 op
[14:51] <Myrtti> DBAlex: has plenty
[14:51] <red> Tux = ubuntu logo ?
[14:51] <_fr4nk_> red: tux = linux logo
[14:51] <cjohnson> zloog, he was asking if they were for free or commercial use
[14:51] <cjohnson> zloog, at least I think so
[14:51] <Sock> zloog: yea but under what license ? ununtu is free so it can distribute it on some "free license" but i cant
[14:51] <tj83> could take it to #ops
[14:51] <Myrtti> tj83: not the correct channel for that
[14:51] <Huiu> cjohnson: m8 how i can find the keycode for the mouse side buttons??? :(
[14:51] <heatmzzr_> I have a chicony webcam in my laptop, are there drivers for it so I can video chat?
[14:51] <cjohnson> Sock, I'm almost 100% sure you can use them for commercial works
[14:52] <cjohnson> Huiu, type "xev" in the term and then click them in the little window
[14:52] <red> ...
[14:52] <cjohnson> Huiu, it'll tell you the button, as well as a ton of other information, in the terminal
[14:52] <zloog> Sock: I think everything in the main repo (not universe restricted or multiverse) is free for commercial use. After all canonical is a commercial entity

[15:00] <cjohnson> Huiu, I had that problem, unfortunately, where the extra buttons didn't detect properly. I haven't found a fix yet
[15:00] <kamaly> bmw...change which nam...hostname or what...?
[15:00] <redbull> hello all
[15:00] <abesto> Slightly off - where's the 'browser to use' option in Thunderbird?
[15:00] <Huiu> cjohnson: so there is not a solution right now?
[15:01] <cjohnson> Huiu, none that I've found, sadly
[15:01] <Huiu> cjohnson: thanx m8 :)
[15:01] <cjohnson> abesto, you mean system -> preferences -> preferred applications?
[15:01] <zipper> cjohnson, darn, btnx cannot detect those two buttons either it seems =/
[15:01] <bmw> yes host name or laptop name it the same
[15:01] <cjohnson> zipper, then i'm out of ideas :(
[15:01] <daggerx>  help with wicd - partly working - only on lan and not wifi - everything worked fine when i used netwrk manager

[15:02] <kamaly> bmw u can as well edit /etc/hostname
[15:02] <abesto> cjohnson: yup, problem is I'm either blind or it's not there
[15:02] <genii> kamaly: That won't work, since you need root access for the way you wrote it.
[15:02] <Huiu> guys do ubuntu have any profesional program for video editing?

[15:04] <harris> cobra energy drink
[15:05] <kamaly> floating..what program r u installing...?
[15:06] <zipper> cjohnson, I'm reading the btnx man atm... It seems like it listens to all the event handlers during mouse detection. It only found one handler in my case, but still it cannot detect 2 of the buttons. I guess that means linux doesnt have any way of knowing those buttons exists. Maybe this is impossible without a driver from logitech?
[15:06] <cjohnson> zipper, perhaps, and unfortunately I don't think logitech cares about it's customers enough to make a decent method for us to use those functions
[15:07] <zipper> Can't say i disagree =/
[15:07] <Huiu> cjonhson: what is btnx m8??? :)
[15:07] <redbull> anyone know ¨FORTRAN¨ ??
[15:07] <floating> kamaly: keyholetv for linux. http://www.v2p.jp/video/Viewer/Linux/  readme is like this http://up.k10x.net/vlteuhgdqxrow/readme.txt   . out of those libraries i dont have libglitz.so.1 and i need that libglitz1-dev
[15:07] <scunizi> zipper, that happens with logitech devices.. I tried a "wave" keyboard and had many issues trying to configure it.... ultimately they do something different with some of the buttons.
 thenks a lotttttttttttttttttt
[15:07] <LordOllie> redbull, yes, what is the question?
[15:07] <cjohnson> Huiu, it's an alternate mouse button detection program...sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
[15:08] <Huiu> cjohnson: i can find it in synaptic?
[15:08] <daggerx>  help with wicd - partly working - only on lan and not wifi - everything worked fine when i used netwrk manager
[15:08] <cjohnson> Huiu, don't believe so, google it though it should be first result
[15:08] <Huiu> cjohnson: or google it
[15:08] <bmw> i love this chenall its the best in the world   <<< ubuntu super !! >>>
[15:08] <Huiu> chohnson: ok! thank u again :)
[15:09] <zipper> scunizi, i guess most people would not want to re-map the on-the-fly-CPI-buttons ... and then it's a nice feature for them: No driver needed
[15:09] <redbull> anyone know ¨FORTRAN¨ ??

[15:09] <Tyfius> question: I installed LAMP, and enabled userdir but now all the files I upload to my public_html folder are owned by the user "www-data". Can I fix that without manually doing chmod each time?

[15:10] <francois> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page
[15:10] <kamaly> floating ...kindly do apt-cache search libglitz1-dev then install the dependencies
[15:10] <ASULutzy> Tyfius: You can install LAMP? I thought that was an acronym for Linux/Apache/mysql/php?
[15:10] <Myrtti> oh, it actually wasn't ban evasion...
[15:10] <Myrtti> oh well
[15:11] <floating> kamaly: i cannot install the dependencies. i get "no candidates"
[15:11] <daggerx> how do i get wicd to work with my wifi - didnt have this problem when i used the network manager
[15:11] <Tyfius> ASULutzy: that's what I mean, I just didn't feel like typing it
[15:11] <Tyfius> but I installed it on my desktop setup, not an ubuntu server
[15:12] <kamaly> floating...which ubuntu r u using..?
[15:12] <floating> kamaly: i have xubuntu, and all the default and some extra repositories but: libx11-dev xlibmesa-gl-dev libgl-dev these 3 dependencies are not available. I tried to google those dependencies, but im not really good at that

[15:13] <KomAtch> ok
[15:14] <daggerx> boujour mon ami
[15:14] <ASULutzy> Tyfius: I don't get what there is to fix? www-data is a good thing, is it not?
[15:14] <daggerx> can some1 help me with wicd
[15:14] <creepshow> just cd into the directory and run the wget command.
[15:14] <erUSUL> jagggy: -O /path/to/file  ??
[15:14] <Tyfius> well, the problem is that the files I upload using my upload script for example have the www-data user, and thus I am unable to edit them
[15:15] <jagggy> erUSUL, so wget -O /tmp/ www.site.com ?
[15:15] <Tyfius> using a text editor
[15:15] <kamaly> floating...funny enough on hardy heron.. i have all of them...
[15:15] <Tyfius> or I have to chmod them
[15:15] <Tyfius> but I don't want to do that each time
[15:15] <erUSUL> jagggy: that will concatenate all pages tio a single file
[15:15] <floating> hmmm, can i see your sources.list kamaly ?
[15:15] <solexious> [Q] If a thread i post on the ubuntu forums is removed am i notified as I cant find my thread....
[15:16] <jagggy> erUSUL, i mean like if i would like to wget a site to /tmp .. how'd i do that?
[15:16] <erUSUL> jagggy: cd /tmp/ && wget ...
[15:16] <FleurdeCoton> hello
[15:16] <zipper> cjohnson, hmm, /proc/bus/input/devices tells me there is 2 handlers for my mouse : Handlers=mouse1 event3 . You have any idea if btnx only listens to event* ? Maybe this 'mouse1' handler could be the one taking care of those 2 buttons?
[15:16] <jagggy> k erUSUL
[15:17] <floating> kamaly: to make it clear i didnt make mistake, but if you type apt-cache search xlibmesa-gl-dev  for example, you find it ?
[15:17] <kamaly> floating...the only package with no candidate is libgl-dev
[15:17] <cjohnson> zipper, perhaps...i'm not skilled enough in devices like that to really know :s
[15:17] <fr4nk-k> is there a graphical frontend for unrar?
[15:17] <zipper> okay...
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> zipper have you read the factoid on mouse buttons?
[15:17] <Huiu> how i can go in a specific direction in terminal??? i always forget the commands :P
[15:17] <floating> fr4nk-k: i think the fileroller in xubuntu at least by default uses unrar if it is installed
[15:18] <kamaly> floating its there...xlibmesa-gl-dev - transitional package for Debian etch
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> fr4nk-k file roller

[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !mouse
[15:18] <gabbler> huiu: do you mean to recall commands?
[15:18] <floating> kamaly: ok. .. then i want to add some repositories.. but i dont know which
[15:19] <zipper> Jack_Sparrow, yeah.... I've tried using evdev too, but no matter what i try xev cannot register 2 of my mouse buttons, "+" and "-" CPI-change-on-the-fly buttons
[15:19] <kamaly> floating///lemme get you my list..will give u the basic..
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Huiu arrow up to go back, you need to add a tool for tab compete for bash
[15:19] <dav7> Hi. I'm looking for a console text editor that offers intuitive/instinctive block selection functionality such as Shift+Del (to delete text) and such, and keybindings like CTRL+S to save. Any suggestions?
[15:19] <Huiu> gabbler: no just the simple think to go from the main directory to user/Desctop directory  ^^
[15:19] <dav7> cd?
[15:19] <Huiu> o yea
[15:19] <gabbler> huiu: ~/
[15:19] <dav7> o.o
[15:19] <Huiu> heh
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> zipper Sorry, my mouse has three buttons and a wheel..
[15:19] <tech0007> dav7: nano ?
[15:19] <Huiu> gabbler:thanx ^ ^
[15:20] <kejava> dav7, try out "joe"
[15:20] <gabbler> huiu: ~/ is a shortcut for /home/huiu
[15:20] <matveev> rpm<->apt: what is the equivalent of "rpm -ql" in ubuntu? How do I get the file list of some package?
[15:20] <dav7> tech0007: it doesn't support said block management commands.
[15:20] <osfameron> dav7: vim with the cream extensions?
[15:20] <zipper> Jack_Sparrow, =)
[15:20] <dav7> kejava: does it support Shift+del/ctrl+ins/shift+ins?
[15:20] <dav7> osfameron: does that support Shift+del/ctrl+ins/shift+ins?
[15:20] <gabbler> huiu: ctrl+r is really good
[15:20] <dav7> osfameron: and usage of CTRL+S to save
[15:20] <osfameron> dav7: dunno, it's advertised as vim+common key bindings.  But tbh I use normal vim
[15:20] <floating> kamaly: thanks
[15:21] <Huiu> gabbler: whats the use of this?
[15:21] <berent> Has anyone installed eclipse on Hardy, I get a small box and it stops there
[15:21] <screenname57648> hello
[15:21] <dav7> hi
[15:21] <dav7> osfameron: hm, mk.
[15:21] <screenname57648> folks what's the diff between xv and x11
[15:21] <screenname57648> ?
[15:21] <kejava> dav7, no.  just uses different key combos.  ctrl+k+<key> to do various things.  just dl it and try it out.
[15:21] <Tyfius> berent: the eclipse that comes with the hardy is outdated
[15:21] <gabbler> huiu: ctrl+r then type something previous and it will search bash history, keep hitting crtl+r and it will cycle all those options
[15:21] <Tyfius> it's easier if you download the archive and run it from there
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> matveev You can get the list in synaptic
[15:22] <kejava> dav7, but you can possibly change it do whatever you like.  haven't tried that yet.
[15:22] <Huiu> gabbler: oh! thank u m8!
[15:22] <dav7> kejava: meh, ^K sounds like wordstar bindings
[15:22] <ASULutzy> berent: I wouldn't install eclipse from the package manager. It's much easier to just download from their website.
[15:22] <mops> What command would I use to restart my sound services?
[15:22] <solexious> [Q] If a thread i post on the ubuntu forums is removed am i notified as I cant find my thread....
[15:22] <ASULutzy> berent: And since you don't actually need to install Eclipse, just extract it and run the binary, there's no downside really to not using the package manager, in fact there are several upsides not to
[15:22] <floating> kamaly: sorry... i cannot use dcc here :(

[15:23] <zr0gee> Hi all. I'm using the latest nVidia driver to be able to run my geforce 9800gtx at full throttle in Ubuntu, but I have to re-configure this driver every time there's a new kernel (the driver patches the kernel I believe). Is there any way around this ?
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> matveev Look up for deb-gview
[15:23] <mops> How would I restart my sound card, or sound services from terminal?
[15:23] <grasta> ﻿/msg ubottu etiquette
[15:23] <amireldor> zr0gee, not that i know of
[15:24] <gabbler> zr0gee: dont update your kernel unless you need to
[15:24] <amireldor> gabbler, zr0gee i don't agree, the kernel updates are security updates
[15:24] <gabbler> zr0gee: go to kernelnewbies and see what has changed and decide if you need the feature
[15:24] <zr0gee> allrighty - thx. It's not really a big deal, I'm just abit of a newbie and was wondering ;)
[15:24] <amireldor> gabbler, zr0gee what is kernel newbies?
[15:25] <gabbler> amireldor: website devoted to kernel stuff
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> zr0gee Just one of those facts of life, lock down your updates and do them when you have time to rework your video..
[15:25] <amireldor> gabbler, k thx
[15:25] <amireldor> does anyone know how to turn an AVI file into a DV file for editing with kino?
[15:26] <gabbler> amireldor: try ffmpeg
[15:26] <Huiu> guys i want to do that in terminal $ make # make install how i go from $ to #?
[15:26] <NoeLiTaH> holaaa
[15:26] <gabbler> huiu: sudo or su

[15:26] <jatt> !es
[15:26] <jatt> !es | NoeLiTaH
[15:26] <erUSUL> Huiu: use "sudo make install" on the final step
[15:26] <ASULutzy> amireldor: ffmpeg -i video.avi -target ntsc-dv video.dv
[15:27] <Huiu> gabbler: thank u!
[15:27] <Huiu> erusul: thank u!
[15:27] <erUSUL> Huiu: no problem
[15:27] <ASULutzy> amireldor: If you need PAL instead of NTSC then you'd do, ffmpeg -i video.avi -target pal-dv video.dv
[15:28] <Hercules> i am trying to connect thru my wifi on my laptop, it detects my card, but i seem to not get it to connect
[15:28] <amireldor> gabbler, ASULutzy, THANKS A LOT it's working :)
[15:28] <Hercules> tried this url https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[15:28] <Hercules> but it doesnt help
[15:28] <Hercules> and i dont have a System>Administration>Networking
[15:28] <Hercules> just Network and Network Tools
[15:29] <gabbler> hercules: what r u trying to do?
[15:29] <Hercules> connect to the internet through wifi
[15:29] <idealprod> Hello everyone, can I get somehelp with making mail() work with php ?
[15:29] <gabbler> hercules: have you associated to your ap?
[15:29] <Hercules> yes i know it works because i just used it on vista and my psp
[15:30] <tomolds> idealprod: What is the problem and wouldn't #php be a better place to ask?
[15:30] <gabbler> hercules: but does it associate in ubuntu?
[15:31] <idealprod> tomolds, i don't know, I think it's a linux configuration problem
[15:31] <tomolds> idealprod: What problems are you experiencing then?
[15:31] <matveev> Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the tip
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:31] <Hercules> gabbler, im not understanding
[15:31] <Hercules> i see my ssid if that is what you mean
[15:31] <idealprod> tomolds, I don't know how make mail() fonction work, I have to do with sendmail, postfix and other, but I don't understand how they works >_<
[15:32] <gabbler> hercules: sorry maybe its me, but you said you want to use wifi but it is not working, is it not working in ubuntu or what?
[15:32] <Hercules> let me it put this way
[15:33] <Hercules> i am to see my ssid in the list, but for some odd rreason, i cannot do any internet activities
[15:33] <Hercules> maybe i missed a stepped
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Hercules Start by telling us what hardware you have (wifi)
[15:33] <amenado> idealprod-> if you dont understand them yet, perhaps you can search for a sendmail tutorial on google
[15:33] <jetsaredim> is there a way to tell what program has a given port open on my system?
[15:33] <gabbler> hercules: if you run the command iwconfig does it tell you that you are associated?
[15:33] <fr4nk-k> jetsaredim: nmap
[15:33] <idealprod> amenado, I've followed many of that, but they doesn't work
[15:33] <amenado> jetsaredim-> lsof -i
[15:33] <xubuntuuser> Hello, can anybody help me with an Firefox 3 Beta 5??? I can't switch to German...
[15:33] <Hercules> how can i tell?
[15:33] <gabbler> jetsaredim: try netstat as well
[15:34] <taffy> in the ubuntu liveCD, I cannot seem to access the hard drive to DD the /home to a USB drive....."sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/local" gives out "mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[15:34] <Hercules> says Mode:Managed
[15:34] <bazhang> xubuntuuser, for the system or for typing in firefox
[15:34] <amenado> idealprod-> just following it without understanding would not not make you learn, try to do the steps and enquire here why those steps happens or the purpose
[15:34] <idealprod> I'm trying with ssmtp, but it doesn't work too
[15:34] <gabbler> hercules: it will say something like  IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"ng15"
[15:34] <Hercules> yes
[15:34] <matveev> where is /etc/cups/client.conf ? I seem to have all "cupsys-*" paackage group installed?! "lpq/lpr" is looking there to identify default CUPS server?
[15:34] <xubuntuuser> the system is german, but the firefox is english.
[15:35] <jetsaredim> yea - netstat is saying that port 53 has something listening on both tcp and udp - but i don't see it in lsof -i
[15:35] <idealprod> amenado, that's what I do, but maybe I don't have the same configuration than them... ssmtp seems to be more simple, but give me an error...
[15:35] <gabbler> jetsaredim: that is dns
[15:35] <Antierick> can i use linux for 256mb ram,80gb hdd and ordinary video card with video accleration
[15:35] <mien07> gud day guys...i want to set up my wireless. i read a blog on the net how to set up it, but unfortunately 1 of the command i enter is not valid..what should i do?
[15:35] <bazhang> xubuntuuser, aye; but do you want to type in german or want german menues etc
[15:35] <gabbler> hercules: so it looks like it is connected, do you use dhcp or not?
[15:35] <amenado> idealprod,  at what part do you think are you stucked in? lets narrow that down
[15:35] <tomolds> mien07: tell us what it is for a start?
[15:36] <mndo> hi there!
[15:36] <zloog> Antierick: Absolutely, but you might want to use xubuntu
[15:36] <Hercules> yes i use dhcp
[15:36] <Antierick> is it good
[15:36] <mndo> anybody using virtualbox?
[15:36] <gabbler> hercules: but i assume you get no address?
[15:36] <xubuntuuser> I have English menues but the I get google, etc. in german
[15:36] <zloog> mndo: I am
[15:36] <gabbler> mndo: yes its good isn't it
[15:36] <Antierick> can i still play my windows games and apps
[15:36] <jetsaredim> gabbler: i'm not running anything on there explicitly other than the program that I want to run that's saying something's already there
[15:36] <tomolds> xubuntuuser: Are you in Germany or Switzerland or Austria?
[15:36] <erUSUL> jetsaredim: port 53 are dns queries
[15:36] <xubuntuuser> Germany
[15:36] <taffy> does anyone have an ides of what i can to.....i need to fix this within the next 15 mins
[15:36] <zloog> Antierick: No, linux is not windows
[15:36] <tomolds> xubuntuuser: That explains it then
[15:36] <mien07> i am using 64-bit for my wireless connection  an error occured in this part tar xvf ndiswrapper-newest.tar.gz
[15:37] <mndo> gabbler: very nice, but i am having problems burning dvds from the guests..
[15:37] <xubuntuuser> ???
[15:37] <Antierick> no,a emulator
[15:37] <bazhang> xubuntuuser, cant understand what you are trying to accomplish sorry
[15:37] <gabbler> jetsaredim: yea but dns is a client thing that will fire up to reolve ip
[15:37] <gabbler> mndo: have you enabled the option to do that?
[15:37] <erUSUL> taffy: to dd a partition you do not need to mount the filesystems
[15:37] <tomolds> xubuntuuser: Unfortunately google is not yet smart enough to interact with your ubuntu configuration to detect the os language :-)
[15:37] <mndo> on #vbox they said maybe it's a ubuntu problem..
[15:37] <xubuntuuser> I'm not able to understand what tomolds told : That explains it then.
[15:37] <mndo> gabbler: yes passthrough is on..
[15:37] <neverwas> is upstart the standarded way that ubuntu boots or do you have to set it up?
[15:38] <gabbler> mndo: what guest are you using?
[15:38] <gabbler> mndo: and host for that matter?
[15:38] <mndo> gabbler: also hardy..
[15:38] <grasta> ....Hi there! I was wanting to ask a tech question regarding Ubuntu
[15:38] <mndo> gabbler: both hardy..
[15:38] <amenado> neverwas-> upstart is to replace the usage of inittab
[15:38] <jetsaredim> gabbler: so why is it listed as "LISTEN" in netstat
[15:38] <Antierick> hello,is there a way or emulator to run windows programs in linux
[15:39] <bazhang> xubuntuuser, would you like the #ubuntu-de channel for german language help?
[15:39] <wols_> Antierick: yes. WINE. there are also Virtual machines like virtualbox, vmware, Xen or kvm
[15:39] <amenado> Antierick-> use of vmware and vbox supposedly
[15:39] <tomolds> xubuntuuser: Google uses your ip to place you in the world and assign the language in that way. I get around it since I am in Switzerland by typing google.co.uk each time
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Antierick Several ways..  wine, vbox cedega etc
[15:39] <mndo> gabbler: from the logs, it appears to be a host problem..
[15:39] <erUSUL> taffy: ask on channel
[15:39] <neverwas> amenado: how do I force a script to run on startup after a specific devices is enabled (like a usb lcd)
[15:39] <erUSUL> !pm | taffy
[15:39] <gabbler> mndo: ok ;) well could you just package it up as an iso, move it to your host and then burn it
[15:39] <zloog> Antierick: you can use wine to get *some* of your windows programs working, or you can use virtualbox to emulate windows exactly (virtualbox is a bit slower than wine tho)
[15:39] <Hercules> gabbler, yes it says that but i cant use any internet, plus there arent any blue bars
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[15:39] <Huiu> guys whats the keymap for back and forward in firefox????
[15:39] <Antierick> does it affect performance
[15:39] <fr4nk-k> Antierick: well, there is wine, but you're very lucky if all programs run
[15:39] <gabbler> mndo: did vbox give you any pointers?
[15:39] <CWii> Antierick: Yes. they will run slow.
[15:39] <gabbler> hercules: do you have an ip?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Antierick Yes
[15:39] <xubuntuuser> Ok, I change to #ubuntu-de
[15:39] <mebius> драсте
[15:39] <Antierick> ok thanks guys
[15:39] <amenado> neverwas-> you have to dig into udev and events..something am still weak on ..but generally have the idea... look for samples in  /etc/udev/event.d
[15:40] <CWii> np
[15:40] <neverwas> amenado: thanks
[15:40] <grasta> ﻿﻿I installed Ubuntu OK, loving it so far, but it crashes every now and then..

[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada ext3 has been rock stable for tens of thousands of us..  IS it any specific file types or powering down before it gets finished writing etc
[15:45] <Huiu> hey guys i get that problem in btnx Warning: configuration file for configuration "Default" does not exist. Deleting configuration.
[15:45] <Huiu> Aborted   how i can solve it?
[15:45] <PotatoMan123> I keep getting DHCPINFORM, unknown subnet in my logs
[15:46] <PotatoMan123> any idea what that means?
[15:46] <PotatoMan123> i have another dhcp server in my network
[15:46] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, no, it happens to all sort of files and it's pretty random
[15:46] <gordonjcp> PotatoMan123: that's possibly got something to do with it
[15:46] <gordonjcp> PotatoMan123: you shouldn't have more than one DHCP server
[15:46] <grasta> Hey guys thanks, I am going to try ﻿ noapic and nolapic and check out my hardware to see if there are any issues re:support..
[15:46] <gordonjcp> Armada: sounds like a drive going bad
[15:46] <mndo> gabbler: yes i can always package from the guest.. but i use this machine to allow others to play with it (even running windows clients) and don't mess with my host.. so burning from inside the guest would be great..
[15:46] <PotatoMan123> I have to though, its a large network
[15:46] <PotatoMan123> I want clonezilla just to image computers
[15:47] <PotatoMan123> make my IT job easier
[15:47] <Armada> gordonjcp, I've tested it on multiple drives
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada Are you accessing the ext3 from windows with that ext utility?
[15:47] <gabbler> potatoman123: as far as i was aware that message is used to tell of leases during the period, 50% etc so can you check you other dhcp server?
[15:47] <PotatoMan123> Nope :(
[15:47] <mndo> gabbler: isn't there anyway to make ubuntu allow anyone to full access the dvd drive?
[15:47] <gabbler> mndo: but when you burn you still have to stick a physical disc in write, unless you have invented something else ;)
[15:48] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, yes, but I also have the problem within ubuntu. And I have the read-only option on. So windows isn't writing anything.
[15:48] <gordonjcp> Armada: you must have *something* odd going on
[15:48] <gabbler> mndo: dunno, let me think...
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada Stop using that utility and I bet your problem will go away
[15:48] <kambei> I having some major trouble with Hardy.  The home directories are mounted via an NFS share.  One of the primary issues is that the Gnome file chooser causes the machine to stop responding for 15 to 20 seconds each time it is launched (from firefox for example.)   Any ideas?
[15:48] <Hercules> now i dont know if this is a bug
[15:48] <koshiie> question.  I have a mixed CD I'm trying to read in Ubuntu but all I can see are the audio files.
[15:49] <koshiie> How do I view the other files?
[15:49] <Hercules> but in my toolbar, the network icon says disabled
[15:49] <PotatoMan123> Can someone explain differance between DHCPOFFER and DHCPPACK
[15:49] <Hercules> but i can go to any site
[15:49] <peepsalot> when my computer boots it always connects to the wrong wireless network, how can I tell it which network to prefer, given a choice
[15:49] <Hercules> what is up with that?
[15:49] <Asad2005> I have a problem connecting to a wireless with WPA-PSK security. When i select the SSID it brings up the dialouge with network key which option to select open or shared key and and which key type to use my key passphrase is 10 characters
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada And I mean remove the utility not just stop using it...
[15:49] <gabbler> potatoman123: offer is when the server offers an address and an ack is when the cliecnt responds saying yes or no and the server acknowledges it
[15:49] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow: then I would need to convert the drive to NTFS because I need to be able to use the files in windows without booting to ubuntu all the time
[15:50] <gabbler> hercules: so do you get an address?
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada You cant run ubuntu on ntfs.
[15:50] <matveev> hello, why is my VIM does not undestand "set syntax on"?
[15:50] <jetsaredim> why would a port show up as "LISTEN" in netstat -l, but nothing showing up in lsof -i?
[15:50] <Pici> matveev: You need to install the vim-full package first
[15:50] <ASULutzy> Jack_Sparrow: With wubi you kinda can ;)
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada you can share a fat32 partition between them...
[15:50] <gabbler> armada: use a fat32 partition to shar between the two oses
[15:50] <PotatoMan123> Hmm, because I keep having random clients get offered but never are acknowlged. Could that mean that they went by the server to get an IP but ended up getting their IP from the other, right, DHCP server? (that would be perfect)
[15:50] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, not my ubuntu partition, it's a seperate drive, it never runs an OS
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy wash your mouth out with soap
[15:51] <gabbler> jetsaredim: odd, i am looking at the mo
[15:51] <ASULutzy> :'(
[15:51] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, FAT32 won't support large files
[15:51] <gabbler> potatoman123: possible dhcp is broadcast so it is a first come first served
[15:51] <Pici> Armada: There are ext2/3 drivers for windows
[15:51] <herbert> How do I run the file browser as root? What's the command
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada Yea, I know that.. You can find your own solution, but I am quite sure your problem with ext3 will go away once windows is no longer accessing that drive
[15:52] <ASULutzy> herbert: Be careful: gksu nautilus
[15:52] <herbert> ASULutzy: Ok thanks
[15:52] <PotatoMan123> What I don't get though is I am looking at the logs and many are offered but I never seen an acknowledgement from them. I am hoping that they get it from the other DHCP server.
[15:52] <berent> Can anyone tell why I cant run eclipse > 3.2 on hardy?
[15:52] <jose> hola
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> herbert be very careful with that command and close it down as soon as you are done
[15:52] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, okay, but will need to convert the seperate drive to NTFS
[15:52] <ASULutzy> berent: Did you do what I suggested and download eclipse from their website, not from the hardy repository?
[15:53] <gabbler> potatoman123: i would get wireshark and look through the trace to find out what is happening
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada whatever works for you.
[15:53] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, NTFS is accesible from ubuntu just fine right?
[15:53] <herbert> Jack_Sparrow: Why is it such a risk?
[15:53] <ASULutzy> herbert: Because you could delete your entire file system if you told it to
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada I have not had any issues, but I still dont write to ntfs..   old habits die hard
[15:53] <berent> ASULutzy : i did exactly that. wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/ganymede/R/eclipse-java-ganymede-linux-gtk.tar.gz
[15:54] <ASULutzy> berent: Heh, do you have a Java JRE installed?
[15:54] <matveev> Pici: thanks, not it works again
[15:54] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow, but that presents another problem. I've heard converting from ext3 to ntfs is risky
[15:54] <berent> ASULutzy : How do i check it?
[15:54] <gabbler> jack_sparrow, armada: i agree with jack even though you can now write to ntfs before you couldn't and i dont like messing up ntfs as it is not as simple as fat, thats why i use a fat32 partition
[15:54] <samue> herbert : NTFS cannot be writable from Ubuntu (except with Hardy maybe ?)
[15:54] <ASULutzy> Armada: It's not risky, if you convert a partition it formats everything on it
[15:55] <ASULutzy> samue: ntfs can be writable, I do it all the time. It used to be the end of the world, but now, eh, ntfs-3g is pretty solid
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> herbert If you are needing to run file manager as root, you need to have a good reason...  and know what you are doing.  Dont just run it because you hit a file permission issue and want to trhow files all over the place
[15:55] <mgolisch> yeah but who needs that anyways?
[15:55] <mgolisch> no windows = no need for mtfs
[15:55] <mgolisch> ntfs
[15:55] <mgolisch> :)
[15:56] <ASULutzy> berent: Just go to java.sun.com and throw a jre into the eclipse folder ;)
[15:56] <gabbler> asulutzy: :) i suppose its that i am just set in my ways not accepting change ;)
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada I agree ntfs writing is quite safe..  I have tons of partitions and 1 tb+ on 6 boxes.. I just dont NEED to write to ntfs
[15:56] <Armada> okay, then NTFS seems to be the best option to share the drive between the OSes with large file support
[15:56] <samue> ASULutzy, I heard about ntfs-3g but I did't know it was "ready" ... Is it included into Ubuntu hardy already ?
[15:56] <ASULutzy> Armada: It's really the only option if you need to share large files
[15:56] <Armada> mgolisch, one day mgolisch, one day
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Armada dont plan on converting ext3 to ntfs without a backup..
[15:56] <berent> ASULutzy : Throw. How to throw?
[15:57] <sidewalk> :
[15:57] <ASULutzy> berent: Was just using a figure of speech. Go to java.sun.com and download a jre from there. move it to your eclipse folder and execute it
[15:57] <mien07> wat is the meaning of the keyword "tar" ?? thanks
[15:57] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow: I know, I know it very well, but I don't have the space for a complete backup, what I'm converting IS my backup XD
[15:57] <mien07> tar is for extracting??
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !tar
[15:57] <engineer> tar x
[15:57] <Armada> Jack_Sparrow: I do plan on backuping all the important files
[15:57] <Starnestommy> mien07: tar is the program that deals with .tar, .tar.gz, and /tar.bz2 files
[15:58] <ASULutzy> samue: I don't remember if I had to apt-get it or if it just came installed... I do know that I write to NTFS drives fairly often, and haven't really had any issues in doing so
[15:58] <Starnestommy> *.tar.bz2
[15:58] <ASULutzy> Armada, Jack_Sparrow: You can convert a file system without backing it up first?
[15:58] <berent> ASULutzy: I think I have jre. i have a folder called /usr/lib/jvm/ which has these: java-1.5.0-gcj-4.2-1.5.0.0  java-1.5.0-sun  java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.15  java-6-sun  java-6-sun-1.6.0.06  java-gcj  jre1.6.0
[15:58] <mien07> what did tar do to those extension files??
[15:58] <Armada> ASULutzy: There is always a risk involved
[15:59] <berent> ASULutzy : I even installed eclipse 3.2 from repository. It works fine.
[15:59] <ASULutzy> Armada: I didn't think it was a matter of risk... I didn't think it was possible to convert a drive with data on it from NTFS to ext3. I thought it 100% would format the partition
[15:59] <Armada> ASULutzy: Gparted once fucked up my partition table when resizing a partition
[15:59] <taffy> i am trying to access an existing lvm setup from the ubuntu livecd to backup some files...having a few issues, anyone able to help?
[15:59] <berent> ASULutzy : But when I try running eclipse 3.4 it opens a small box and sops
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy Yes you can... I am aware of that.. BUT  never work at the partition level with data you cant afford to lose.. I deal with medical records every day.. I cant afford to lose even one
[15:59] <ASULutzy> berent: installing eclipse from repository stinks IMO, you have to do a bunch of permission fiddling or else installing addons will fail or you'll have to run with sudo
[16:00] <Armada> ASULutzy: It's possible through GParted, right?
[16:00] <samue> ASULutzy, ok, thanks ... does it keeps files attributes (users, rights, ...) ?
[16:00] <erUSUL> taffy: found this on internet http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/mounting-lvm-disk-using-ubuntu-livecd.html
[16:01] <berent> Jack_Sparrow , ASULutzy: Anyway I want to run eclipse > 3.2 . what's the solution
[16:01] <taffy> erUSUL: thank you
[16:01] <erUSUL> taffy: no problem
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> berent find a deb for ubuntu or build it yourself
[16:01] <engineer> i'm running eclipse 3.4
[16:01] <rsk> new  wine release, make it popular \o/ http://digg.com/linux_unix/Wine_1_1_0_Released
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> rsk Stop
[16:02] <ASULutzy> berent: If you've downloaded the file from eclipse's website, you need to tell eclipse where your JRE is. I think by default it looks for it inside the eclipse directory inside a folder called jre
[16:02] <rsk> k
[16:02] <speedhunt3r> hey what could be the problem when gnome takes forever to load, and it gives this error: Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. to me it looks like the pc is heavily lagging. What can i do to fix it?
[16:03] <Starnestommy> speedhunt3r: reinstall gnome-control-center
[16:03] <the_eraser> hi where do i find trash if i not use the gnome trash icon?
[16:03] <ASULutzy> berent: Here's what I did (may not be optimal) I downloaded eclipse from their website, extracted it, went to java.sun.com and got "jre-6u10-beta-linux-i586.bin" and ran it, this put the jre into the eclipse folder and everything worked :P
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> speedhunt3r Or as last resort you can reset gnome back to installed defaults..
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !trash
[16:03] <Huiu> adios and thanx everyone for the today help
[16:03] <the_eraser> thx sparrow
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:04] <speedhunt3r> Starnestommy, can I do that from synaptic or should i go to tty and use apt-get ?
[16:04] <Starnestommy> speedhunt3r: either synaptic, or 'sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-control-center' in a tty
[16:04] <Dusti[n]> whats the program for windows so i can see all my linux files
[16:04] <ASULutzy> So I'm still confused about the chat up there. You're saying it's possible to convert a partition filled with data from NTFS to ext3 without formatting the drive? I thought that changing file system types automatically formatted the partitions?
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Dusti[n] We just had a long chat about ext2fs
[16:05] <ASULutzy> Dusti[n]: Just google ext2 in Windows, I'm sure it's the first result
[16:05] <Dusti[n]> ty
[16:06] <speedhunt3r> Starnestommy, after it finished my "change desktop backgroud" window came up when it couldn't open 5 minutes ago..i take that the problem's fixed?
[16:06] <Starnestommy> speedhunt3r: I'm not sure
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Dusti[n] I would like to suggest that accessing ext3 from a virii infested windows OS is not your best choice
[16:07] <grulk> HI guys, I have a dhcpd server and some clients working fine. I make some test with bandwidthd to monitor the subnet and the problem is that it is not real time information. Is there a different application that allow me to monitor the bandwidth of the clients connected to a dhcpd server?
[16:07] <jetsaredim> gabbler: seems that dnsmasq is running
[16:07] <jetsaredim> what is the way to find out what package a given file comes from?
[16:07] <Dusti[n]> jack_sparrow: no kidding
[16:08] <Starnestommy> jetsaredim: use apt-file search <name-of-file>
[16:08] <kamaly> now i had a small prob...how do u code c languge pot files to display a custom message on the top bar....??
[16:08] <flayspray> Hello... I restarted my Hardy system after the latest upgrades and now I'm having a few problems. I use Xubuntu and every time I log in, all the panel items have lost their settings and have reverted to the defaults. Also, the 'Quit' button on the main menu doesn't work (I have to Ctrl-Alt-Backsp to log out). Worst of all, all my bookmarks in FF3 have disappeared. When I browse the web, FF also fails to keep track of where I go, meaning tha
[16:08] <flayspray> t the 'Back' and 'Forward' buttons don't work. Does anybody know what might have caused this and how I could go about fixing it?
[16:08] <ASULutzy> Dusti[n]: I think one of the options is to mount the drive as read-only
[16:08] <jason_> #dev
[16:08] <Dusti[n]> jack_sparrow: swho say im virus infested
[16:08] <joni_> join / #Digital-It
[16:08] <tj83> jj:)
[16:09] <gabbler> jetsaredim: google, says that dnsmasq is a package in itself, you should be able to remove it
[16:09] <kamaly> anyone who can solve my prob here...gud in C language...pls...?
[16:09] <jetsaredim> gabbler: dpkg -l dnsmasq turns up nothing
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Dusti[n] Who is to say Windows doesnt come infested..  enough offtopic..  I didnt say you were infested .. just that it isnt the best choice
[16:09] <Starnestommy> kamaly: what is your problem?
[16:10] <kamaly> starnestommy ..i want the top bar of the executable to display a custom message...
[16:10] <Dusti[n]> jack_sparrow : oh well ill have to take my chances
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> kamaly Wrong channel for help with programming in C
[16:10] <Pici> kamaly: Try ##c
[16:10] <jetsaredim> gabbler: ahh - dnsmasq-base ... what is the command for finding out what depends on a given package
[16:10] <Starnestommy> kamaly: try asking ##c or ##linux
[16:10] <the_eraser> if i want to remove all Thumbs.db files on a disk, what do i type? rm */Thumbs.db didnt do it :(
[16:10] <kamaly> jack sparrow...but only some slight editing of po files i understand
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> the_eraser You will want to use the -R option anf be very very careful onhow you type that command
[16:11] <the_eraser> ok :)
[16:11] <jrib> the_eraser: you need to use find (and -delete or -exec or pass to xargs) or in nice shell like zsh, you could do rm **/Thumbs.db
[16:12] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: I don't think -R will work
[16:12] <the_eraser> i will read man pages first hehe
[16:12] <kamaly> when the executable runs...i want it to display my message on top bar...not the one the author has coded..the files are opensource..i have them...
[16:12] <gabbler> jetsaredim: dpkg -i
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> jrib You are right.. I was thinking just the one folder..
[16:12] <jetsaredim> gabbler: libvirt-bin grrr
[16:12] <fr4nk-k> the_eraser: that's always a good idea! :)
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> the_eraser I agree with jrib.. as usual
[16:12] <Starnestommy> kamaly: search through all the files in the sources for the one that generates that message
[16:13] <the_eraser> hm i tried -r before it didnt work and its equivalent to -R
[16:13] <the_eraser> ok
[16:13] <gabbler> jetsaredim: are you using libvirt for vitualbox?
[16:13] <atlasthetank> how do I see nicks in xchat gnome
[16:13] <gabbler> jetsaredim: cos i dont
[16:13] <kamaly> starnestommy i understand its po files but wud welcome the right string to search for...?
[16:14] <jetsaredim> gabbler: have kvm install and was using virt-manager
[16:14] <jetsaredim> but I don't think I need that anymore
[16:14] <Starnestommy> kamaly: .po files aren't sources
[16:14] <Starnestommy> kamaly: .c and .h are sources
[16:14] <gabbler> jetsaredim: ah
[16:14] <kamaly> jack_sparrow..ua pointers on this..
[16:14] <gabbler> jetsaredim: well get rid of it then :)
[16:14] <kamaly> thanks Starestommy...
[16:14] <atlasthetank> is anyone using x chat gnome?
[16:15] <psmith> I hav installed  refi omn my mac book and would like to knw it I can safly duel boot OS X and Ubuntu?
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> kamaly Yes, you were directed to the right channels for your question
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> atlasthetank most use xchat  not the -gnome version
[16:15] <atlasthetank> think I'l do the same thanks :)

[16:19] <ikonia> mib_ws1afdgr: ?
[16:19] <ikonia> mib_ws1afdgr: could you expand on that please.
[16:19] <samue> mib_ws1afdgr, too much suspense !
[16:20] <mib_ws1afdgr> sorry, wait a sec pls
[16:20] <samue> :-)
[16:20] <bazhang> mib_ws1afdgr, that that to ##windows :)
[16:20] <ikonia> bazhang: take ?
[16:20] <bazhang> ikonia, sorry
[16:20] <mib_ws1afdgr> hello. I have a computer that runs windows XP. But it doesnt work now. I used live gutsy gibbon to save my files on harddisk but it doesnt see my hard drive. how can i  get in to my harddisk_
[16:21] <ikonia> bazhang: I'm teasing
[16:21] <fr4nk-k> mib_ws1afdgr: you have to mount it
[16:21] <ikonia> mib_ws1afdgr: `what do you mean "save your hard disk"
[16:21] <Pici> mib_ws1afdgr: You can't see your harddrive in Windows or in Ubuntu?
[16:21] <bazhang> mib_ws1afdgr, set in bios to read cd first already?
[16:21] <mib_ws1afdgr> how? I'm a newbie
[16:21] <mib_ws1afdgr> in ubuntu, windows doesnt work
[16:21] <fr4nk-k> mib_ws1afdgr: open a terminal, type "sudo fdisk -l"
[16:22] <mib_ws1afdgr> i want to save the files on my harddisk
[16:22] <samue> bazhang, From Ubuntu live Cd , he doesn't see the hard disk (on which Windows is)
[16:22] <mib_ws1afdgr> so I cannot format it
[16:22] <fr4nk-k> mib_ws1afdgr: open a terminal, type "sudo fdisk -l"
[16:23] <samue> sudo fdisk -l  ... will give you the list of devices (hard disks,...)
[16:23] <psmith> Is there  way i can install Gusty on my mac book using a fatthirty two partition to store the require  files to run the installation program
[16:23] <fr4nk-k> mib_ws1afdgr: you should get some output. you can see the column named "system". There must be an entry like HPFS/NTFS
[16:23] <the_darkside_986> !sane
[16:23] <mib_ws1afdgr> so I cannot format it?
[16:23] <mib_ws1afdgr> what is the psswrd for live ubuntu
[16:24] <fr4nk-k> mib_ws1afdgr: try: ubuntu
[16:24] <fr4nk-k> im not sure
[16:24] <adred> hi, what is the command to find a folder? i can't seem to find "phpmyadmin" folder. anyone know where it is located?
[16:24] <jkijm> Enter text here...
[16:24] <jkijm> hcgjoddibh
[16:24] <jkijm> dtorjber
[16:24] <bazhang> jkijm, stop
[16:24] <samue> adred : man find
[16:24] <mib_ws1afdgr> nothing happens when i type it:
[16:25] <mib_ws1afdgr> fdisk-l...
[16:25] <Armada> so to convert it I need to backup all the files, which I don't have enough space for, but what if I resize the drive and make a ntfs partition on the free space and then copy over the files to the ntfs partition, delete the ext3 partition and then grow the ntfs partition to fill the rest of the drive
[16:25] <Magicdead> mib_ws1afdgr: no password?
[16:25] <ASULutzy> lame question but the man page didn't seem to have an answer, is there anyway to ping a range? ie ping 123.123.123.1/50
[16:25] <Armada> would that work fine?
[16:25] <genii> ASULutzy: You could ping the gateway
[16:25] <oskude> adred, if you installed it from repos, it should be at http://localhost/phpmyadmin (but its a redirect or something, so it doesnt live in /var/www, check the apache config files)
[16:26] <genii> ASULutzy: Broadcast address, rather
[16:27] <Magicdead> mib_ws1afdgr: and fdisk -l only gives a result when you're root afaik
[16:27] <thetank> I'm trying to find the ruby chat room
[16:27] <adred> oskude: yup i installed it from the repo. i get an error message when i enter that in the url bar. i guess something is wrong..
[16:28] <oskude> adred, what error do you get ? does http://localhost work ?
[16:28] <Magicdead> thetank: well, channel-list doesn't seem to be working, probably check on the ruby homepage?
[16:28] <barbo> Is there a way to get a computer to wake up from suspend via a network?
[16:28] <bazhang> !irc
[16:28] <barbo> kind of like wake-on-lan
[16:29] <Starnestommy> thetank: /join #ruby
[16:29] <thetank> thanks
[16:29] <adred> oskude: something to do with Port 80..localhost is fine.
[16:29] <Magicdead> thetank: or #ruby-lang
[16:30] <oskude> adred, hmm, is it an error _in_ the browser or do you get a popup window with the error ? could you paste that error on some paste service ?
[16:30] <oskude> !paste
[16:30] <gnoub> hi.. ive put my symbolic link in usr/local how do I export it so I can use it on my entire system?

[16:34] <adred> oskud: yup it is installed. says the one installed it already the latest.
[16:34] <Starnestommy> gnoub: if it's not a program, why are you trying to put in it /usr/local?
[16:34] <xenoglossia> I'm dual booting Win2K and Ubuntu 8.04 on an old IBM T23 Laptop, and (after fiddling around with a Live USB), I now get this error message when I try to boot into Windows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23323.  I'm told that I replaced the Windows bootloader with SYSLINUX.  The folks at ##windows pointed me to bootloader.com, but seeing as I'm a total novice, I don't know what to download/do there at all.  Any help would be appreciate
[16:34] <xenoglossia> d!
[16:34] <adred> oskude: yup it is installed. says the one installed it already the latest.
[16:34] <gnoub> Starnestommy: it doesnt matter to me because I will delete the .txt file when im done with it
[16:34] <oskude> adred, then try: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart (i assume you installed apache2)
[16:34] <Lonely-chan> oskude: Ok I'm Googling what I just asked
[16:34] <the_darkside_986> Can SANE be used to set up a scanner server on the network that will be accessible to non-Ubuntu machines as well? I am thinking of trying to connect the scanner to my PC, which runs Ubuntu Hardy, via USB and follow the sane server instructions, but it still needs to be accessible from the 3 other unfortunate Vista machines in the office :(
[16:35] <xenoglossia> By the way, I don't have the Windows CD anymore.  I'm told that I might be screwed . . .
[16:36] <Antierick> Intrepid Ibex, the next (unreleased) version of ubuntu
[16:36] <Kelen> It is possible for FireFox3.0 change default download tools to wget?
[16:36] <Antierick> where can i get it
[16:36] <the_darkside_986> do you have a Windows CD product key? borrow a disc and use your legally owned key then
[16:36] <genii> the_darkside_986: Yes. Give me a minute to look it up
[16:36] <bazhang> Antierick, you cant yet
[16:36] <Kelen> ﻿It is possible for FireFox3.0 change default download tools to wget?
[16:36] <Starnestommy> Antierick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex
[16:36] <xenoglossia> Oh!  I do have a product key!
[16:37] <the_darkside_986> But when I was stuck with Redhat 9 with no Windows because of wiping it, I learned a lot of valuable Linux stuff...
[16:37] <gnoub> Starnestommy: hmm?
[16:37] <adred> oskude: can you please check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23330/..thanks
[16:37] <Magicdead> Kelen: the FlashGot plugin for ff3 lets you choose a dl-manager
[16:37] <Antierick> thankx
[16:37] <bazhang> Antierick, that is pre-alpha

[16:49] <jbroome> fr4nk-k: does sudo fdisk -l show it?
[16:49] <Magicdead> fr4nk-k: fdisk -l needs to be with root privileges. sudo fdisk -l
[16:49] <Gault> fr4nk-k: it doesnt show a divice? does the disk appear on bios post?
[16:50] <Lonely-chan> Gault: I'm trying that right now

[16:53] <Magicdead> Kelen: well, i don't know of any direct setting in ff3 to change the dl-manager, but there might be a hidden one in about:config
[16:53] <ASULutzy> Fenix-Dark: Turn off the splash and quiet options in your grub menu

[16:55] <Magicdead> Kelen: but i don't see an option for it in the browser.download.manager settings in about:config. you could ask in the firefox channel. i just always though FlashGot was the most conveniant solution for that problem ;)
[16:55] <bmw> :)

[16:58] <Pici> bmw: Is english your native language?

[17:00] <Renich> problems with nfs-server here... something about ﻿mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered  mount.nfs: internal error
[17:00] <jtrinity> #sydney
[17:00] <th0r> bmw, try dragging the window by holding down the Alt key and the left mouse button.
[17:00] <fr4nk-k> but thanks all
[17:00] <Magicdead> fr4nk-k: but the drive does show up in the bios?
[17:01] <th0r> bmw, that might allow you to see the maximize and minimize buttons
[17:01] <Uplink> ello =]
[17:02] <Balian> irc://lublin.irc.pl/gildwars
[17:02] <Magicdead> fr4nk-k: only other idea i'd have would be to check if maybe gparted (or parted for commandline) shows the drive. but i doubt that will help your friend
[17:02] <fr4nk-k> Magicdead: hm, yeah, thanks! :)
[17:02] <vedema> fr4nk-k: you could try parted or cfdisk and see if it shows up
[17:03] <Lonely-chan> I fixed it! Thanks all
[17:03] <vedema> fr4nk-k: and see if it shows in the bios
[17:03] <vedema> otherwise, it sounds like the drive's probably toast
[17:03] <fr4nk-k> yeah, thanks

[17:07] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: is there a javaplugin in /usr/lib/firefox3.0 ?
[17:07] <vedema> Blegolas: have you checked the syslogs?
[17:07] <Blegolas> but that random ... is a few days

[17:11]  * delcoyote hi
[17:11] <bmw> now its don't work :( ok  now i tray too update my Ubuntu and i install new Firefox
[17:11] <whabo> Is there a way i can install fluxbox or e17 window managers?
[17:11] <PossibleBit> yeah
[17:12] <PossibleBit> Just go into Synaptics and install fluxbox. whabo
[17:12] <Drk_Guy> whabo: maybe sudo apt-get install fluxbox?
[17:12] <dfstefan> vedema, can i pm you ?
[17:12] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: hmm. when you go to a java-app on the net, what does it say? like does firefox have a popup/bar at the top telling you how to install java? also, i had my share of problems with gcj and found that sun java works a little better in ff3
[17:12] <Drk_Guy> whabo: It worked for me once
[17:12] <whabo> Drk_Guy: thx
[17:12] <PossibleBit> Though take care to create a menu before you go into fluxbox, as it doesn't have any standard menus.
[17:12] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: FF searches for plugin
[17:12] <chowder> I used debootstrap to create a custom build on a seperate partition but I can't get X to start nor can I log in as a normal user, I always have to be root.
[17:12] <tudon> whabo you can just install as many as you like and then choose what to start from the log in screen
[17:12] <Drk_Guy> whabo: NP, search e17 with synpatic though
[17:13] <whabo> thank you guys
[17:13] <chowder> if anyone can help plz highlight me or PM me. I'm stuck.
[17:13] <vedema> dfstefan: yes, if you want
[17:13] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: yes but usually ff gives you the option to install the plugin, which in turn takes you to sun's java page
[17:13] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: I'm presented with the classic plugin search window, then it shows up gcj, i install it, but it won't work
[17:13] <bmw> can i change the setting in synaptic and open 2 or more synaptic programs :0\
[17:13] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: Nope, seems like ubufox prevents it from doing that
[17:14] <Pici> bmw: no.
[17:14] <bmw> :(
[17:14] <Pici> bmw: You can't have more than one package manager running at the same time.
[17:14] <keram> hello
[17:15] <Gault> hi
[17:15] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: hmm ok. first you could try making a symlink in the firefox-3.0/plugins directory to the gcj plugin in the firefox 2 directory
[17:15] <Starnestommy> bmw: that limit is in place to keep two package managers that are runing at once from doing conflicting changes to the package database
[17:15] <keram> i am trying to get dual monitors working dynamically with xrandr, but when i plug in the second monitor it does not show up when i do xrandr -q
[17:15] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: that plugin is a symlink too

[17:17] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: yes it should be... well just symlink to wherever it points (best would probably be if you had a javaplugin symlink in /etc/alternatives and used that one, but that didn't work for me)
[17:17] <bazhang> De_Mon, this is support channel; chat in the other channel
[17:17] <Next1> Samba shares on active directory are in accessable in Hardy?
[17:17] <airin_72> how can I turn on my USB wifi card in ubuntu
[17:17] <Drk_Guy> keram: It ahs to be added to xorg.conf, try backing up your actual config, pluggin-in your monitor and running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and restarting X, that may help
[17:18] <gusi> Drk_Guy: can you verify that path? /usr/local/sbin is it empty?
[17:18] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: wouldn't just symlinkin' to the symlink help
[17:18] <Drk_Guy> gusi: /usr/bin
[17:18] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: well it should ;)
[17:18] <Drk_Guy> gusi: Sorry

[17:30] <bazhang> uplink that makes no sense.
[17:31] <Uplink> "Your about to install a software that can't be authenticated"
[17:31] <owner1> I have tried all of those
[17:31] <xubuntuuser> my thunderbird doesn't use the Language-Pack. What can I do?
[17:31] <blumm> thetank: you could add a new starter
[17:31] <keram> :/
[17:31] <kasra> thetank: edit menus
[17:31] <Next1> I am not able to access samba shares.   It ask for username and password repeatedly. Anyone?

[17:32] <Drk_Guy> And still no sound?
[17:32] <owner1> idk what to do
[17:32] <bazhang> owner1, you need to read all those links.

[17:33] <thetank> blumm, maybe I'll install deskbar to run it
[17:33] <bazhang> owner1, just saying it does not work wont get you much help; you need to state what you have tried, what exact errors you have gotten, etc.
[17:33] <blumm> thetank: you can simply add a starter which would start vim and place it in the application menu
[17:34] <blumm> thats what i did with several programs
[17:34] <kasra> thetank: you want to add vim in menus , right ? rightclick on the menus and select edit menus , and add new item on where you want , and select run in terminal and vim
[17:34] <thetank> im sorry but I'm not familiar with that
[17:34] <wald0> so i installed ati ccc, but the display properties are disabled (drawn with a gray ant path)

[17:40] <skinnymg1> wald0 with the ati ccc you can manually set the resolution for the monitor
[17:40] <owner1> it does not seem to work for me
[17:40] <wald0> i tried to hand write xorg.conf as best i can and everything else works fine
[17:41] <bazhang> owner1, then copy the link to firefox and open it that way
[17:41] <Xazax> i can't start X it says (WW) intel: no matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
[17:41] <turbotoast> Hey there. Is anyone available to help me get my AVM USB stick to work? I'm having difficulties following a tutorial
[17:41] <wald0> skinnymg1 the display area, refresh rate etc. are disabled

[17:46] <Xcaliber009> how do you recover lost+found files in ubuntu server? I can't seem to access the location
[17:46] <Frogzoo> owner1: have you tried a restart?
[17:47] <Frogzoo> Xcaliber009: lost+found is typically empty

[17:49] <meez> when I try to load the restricted drivers manager, i get a "You must install\n linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.15\n for this program to work"
[17:49] <Lardarse> don't feed the troll, guys
[17:49] <meez> the issue is, googling that finds me nothing
[17:49] <mjgoins> sucks! sucks! sucks!

[17:50] <bennyf11> hey does anyone know if bcm4311 drivers will work in ubuntu 8.04??
[17:50] <Starnestommy> mjgoins: er, disregard that
[17:50] <meez> Starnestommy: this machine doesnt have access to the internet because i can't get into the restricted module page (I think)
[17:50] <skinnymg1> owner1 check that site out maybe it will help
[17:50] <riclin1> Anyone know the path for the dvd or cd device when it is mounted in kiso as an image?
[17:50] <Jason2gs> I'm using the Text-based installer for Gutsy Gibbon, and after it shows the status bar for the detecting hardware page, it shows a black blue screen, with a black bar to the left, and a white bar for typing in at the bottom. Is this supposed to happen?
[17:51] <sipior> Xcaliber009: lost+found holds files recovered via fsck. if you've just rm'ed it, it's gone i'm afraid
[17:51] <meez> Without a .deb file for linux-restricted-modules, I can't get into it?

[17:52] <dredhammer> hello is there anyway to get the java plugin to have audio playback in firefox?
[17:52] <LimCore> hello
[17:52] <thingy> Jason2gs, Did you download the CD and burn it? if you still have the ISO file around, check the integrity of the file by computing its checksum and checking against the value on the download site
[17:52] <LimCore> is ubuntu again a totall failure?
[17:52] <Buyydee> Hello. I have an additional plugin for pidgin and was told to put it into ~/.purple/plugins. But the plugin doesn't come up in the plugin section of pidgin. What did I miss here?
[17:52] <sipior> LimCore: feeling lonely, were you?
[17:52] <bazhang> !ot > LimCore
[17:52] <xubuntuuser> dredhammer: have you already installed a java-plugin?
[17:53] <LimCore> sipior: not really
[17:53] <clintchance> how how can I block my ip from being viewed on irc
[17:53] <dredhammer> yes it works but theres no audio
[17:53] <riclin1> Anyone use the Linux version of DVD-Shrink???
[17:53] <meez> ok, a new question: what would be the easiest way to roll back a kernel upgrade, because I think this is what has broken the WLAN on this computer
[17:53] <Starnestommy> clintchance: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[17:53] <LimCore> half my kde programs can't be used, because KDE wallet manager stoped loading wallets. And doent allow to create new ones. 8.04 amd64.  Anyone can confirm (or deny) this bug?
[17:53] <dredhammer> yes it works xubuntuuser but theres no audio
[17:53] <bennyf11> !ot > bennyf11
[17:53] <jbroome> meez: reboot and press ESC, choose the previous kernel
[17:53] <xubuntuuser> ﻿dredhammer: is your audio device installed correctly?
[17:53] <Jason2gs> dredhammer, Not that I've been able to find. It seems to be a rather common bug. It seems the best you can do is have music playing while the Java applet is loading.
[17:54] <Jason2gs> That keeps Java from hogging /dev/dsp.
[17:54] <Jason2gs> You won't have audio in the applet, but still.
[17:55] <sipior> LimCore: have you tried asking in #kubuntu? they may have more specific experience in this matter. although i suspect we would've heard something already if this bug were at all common :-)
[17:55] <Jason2gs> thingy, Nevermind. It got past it. However, it seems to have failed to detect the CD ROM.
[17:55] <dredhammer> so theres no way at present to get audio playback in the running applet itself Jason2gs?
[17:55] <meez> ok jbroome, can I edit the grub config to change the order so that it automatically loads the previous kernel?
[17:55] <bennyf11> hey does anyone know if bcm4311 drivers/firmware are supported in 8.04, WITHOUT ndiswrapper??
[17:55] <meez> or will ubuntu get pissy and revert my changes? :<
[17:56] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff bennyf11 you seen this?
[17:56] <Gigs> speaking of that sort of issue, I upgraded to Hardy and now I don't have sound multiplexing anymore.
[17:56] <RonLut> Every few minutes all the content on the screen blinks and mouse blinks as well and I can't do anything until it's over by itself.... What should I do? I can't use the system properly :\
[17:56] <Gigs> Pulseaudio seems to be installed
[17:56] <Jason2gs> Firstly, take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt. All I have to bad my answer is a load of unhelpful Google search results :p It seems to be a one-or-the-other deal. Either you can listen to YOUR music, or you can listen to the audio the Java applet has. I don't think it's able to mix, ATM.
[17:56] <bennyf11> bazhang, i have seen that, however i was looking for a solution that did not require ndiswrapper
[17:57] <LimCore> sipior: they dont know it there
[17:57] <Uplink> how can I install Opera?
[17:57] <unop> !opera
[17:57] <sipior> LimCore: can you be more specific about the error messages you get?
[17:58] <LimCore> sipior: no error messages, no nothing
[17:58] <andycan> Pulseaudio wont mute speakers when i plug in headphones. When i use alsa as a mixer, it detects the headphones and mutes the speakers. Is this normal behavior by pulseaudio?
[17:58] <LimCore> sipior: just - no wallets, and nothing happens if I try to create new one
[17:58] <solexious> [Q] How can I make a desktop shortcut to run ./skysentials.py in a specified folder?
[17:58] <Fenix|work> greets
[17:59] <RonLut> Please.......
[17:59] <Fenix|work> how do I tail a file, but have it update every second
[17:59] <Uplink> how can I install Opera?
[17:59] <Fenix|work> I can't remember the name of that util
[17:59] <LimCore> solexious: isnt there such an option in the shortcut? like working directory?  if not, wirte a small shell scipt that does:   cd ~/folder ; ./skysentials.py   and link to that
[17:59] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser Uplink do some reading first
[17:59] <sipior> LimCore: bizarre. and googling as turned up no related behaviour?
[17:59] <unop> solexious,   ln -svf /path/to/skysentials.py ~/Desktop/name_of_shortcut_you_want
[17:59] <LimCore> RonLut: hmm
[17:59] <Uplink> bazhang, i went there already
[17:59] <LimCore> RonLut: are you using thoes 3d effects in desktop?  or Xgl or something
[18:00] <solexious> limcore unop: Thank you both
[18:00] <RonLut> LimCore: compiz....
[18:00] <Uplink> bash: deb: command not found
[18:00] <LimCore> RonLut: try reporting this bug on ubuntu bugs page;  and also ask in web forum for ubuntu.   Compiz afair have problems, try not to use it
[18:00] <sipior> LimCore: also, do you get any error if you start kde apps from the terminal?
[18:00] <LimCore> sipior: no
[18:00] <bazhang> Uplink, if you read that then you would know the answer
[18:00] <Uplink> bazhang, bash: deb: command not found
[18:00] <Agion> how can I set two monitors up?
[18:01] <sipior> LimCore: how long as the problem existed?

[18:01] <Agion> ^^
[18:01] <|puc|> ciao
[18:01] <xubuntuuser> Agion: I think you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[18:01] <rich_> does anyone know how to get pommed working for macbook pro backlights/
[18:02] <Agion> ok -.-
[18:02] <unop> Agion, i meant read what ubotu said
[18:02] <LimCore> sipior: several days
[18:02] <Agion> yeah, i got it :P
[18:02] <LimCore> sipior: ok, now I can re-create and re-add the wallets
[18:02] <sipior> LimCore: also, if you start an app from the terminal, does it hang, or simply return to a prompt immediately. might also be worth looking via top, to see if any processes are in an unusual state
[18:02] <LimCore> sipior: so its some corner case bug
[18:02] <WCE> Hey wondering what package should i install in synaptic in order to make flash work in firefox??
[18:02] <LimCore> sipior: other then the above, kde apps work as always
[18:02] <unop> WCE, flashplugin-nonfree
[18:03] <Uplink> bazhang, how do i add repositories through the console?
[18:03] <|puc|> !info
[18:03] <WCE> unop thank you!
[18:03] <|puc|> !find
[18:03] <miklos> hi
[18:03] <RonLut> LimCore: I don't really know how to explain the problem... let's say  I'm in folder and that happens, so the selected icon goes selected-unselected very very fast... Is it "blinking"?
[18:03] <PalaBoot> hi
[18:03] <mirkuz> ciao
[18:04] <bazhang> !it | mirkuz
[18:04] <LimCore> RonLut: compiz have many glithces and small bugs.. just desribe it best you can, and possibly read other simmialr bug reports (it shows automatically)
[18:05] <bazhang> !repos > Uplink
[18:05] <MaximLevitsky> Is it possible to export files from gedit in stupid CLRF windows way
[18:05] <cjohnson> Is there a way to specify that a folder, and all it's contents, have 775 permissions? And have them apply to new files/folders as well?
[18:05] <Uplink> bazhang, there is nothing that might help me ther
[18:06] <Kelen> Magicdead: Hi dude. stay here yet?
[18:06] <unop> cjohnson, chmod -R 775 /path/to/folder
[18:07] <bazhang> Uplink, you are not a very careful reader then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[18:07] <cjohnson> unop, that doesn't apply it to new folders though
[18:07] <cirkit> Good day everyone. Just want some general advice about recording DJ mixes in Ubuntu - I have a Presonus Firebox (Firewire soundcard) which has been successfully connected to my firewire port on my laptop. I get the blue light on the Presonus Firebox after successfully connecting with "Jack" server; however I am unsure how to record the audio to any software recording application. I am using the line-out from my DJ mixer to the line-in 
[18:07] <sipior> cjohnson: as for new files, i believe setting the sticky bit on the directory will force new files to inherit the directory permissions.
[18:07] <cjohnson> sipior, how would I apply that?
[18:07] <Gin> where is the trash folder in gnome?
[18:07] <marlun> If I've got a windows laptop and a ubuntu server, what is the fastest way to access files from the server on the laptop? Right now I'm testing sftp (with sftpdrive).
[18:08] <bazhang> !trash | Gin
[18:08] <sipior> cjohnson: chmod +s
[18:08] <Uplink> bazhang, then why does DEB is not recognized?
[18:08] <owner1> I have exit errors
[18:08] <owner1> bazhang
[18:08] <cjohnson> hrm...why would my mount point be owned by "plugdev"? It won't let me chmod it or anything :(
[18:08] <sipior> cjohnson: ah no, i'm mistaken. that restricts deletion
[18:08] <bazhang> Uplink, you need to actually read the links given you. What you are asking is answered in those links.
[18:08] <unop> cjohnson, it ought to - if it doesn't run this after the chmod in the directory -  umask 002
[18:08] <owner1> bazhang is there away that you can offer remote help
[18:09] <Uplink> bazhang, the terminal is not accepting that bash command :(
[18:09] <TexYiL> hellooo
[18:09] <bazhang> Uplink, again, read the last link I gave you.
[18:09] <unop> cjohnson, you need to be the owner of a file or directory to be able to use chmod on it -- unless of course you are root
[18:09] <Uplink> bazhang, i did
[18:09] <bazhang> owner1, you installed build-essential as per the instructions?
[18:09] <cjohnson> unop, I ran chmod as sudo :s
[18:10] <xubuntuuser> marlun: I prefer samba. You can use it without changes in windows
[18:10] <unop> cjohnson, but what you want to do with the mount point is adjust the permissions on the mount point -- see the mount manpage for options relating to that specific file system
[18:10] <Keule|on9001> hi there
[18:10] <Uplink> bazhang, your not understanding me... when i input the DEB bash command the terminal wont take it
[18:10] <evilbug> how can i hook up my laptop to an old pc so i can extract some data off of the hdd? (the pc itself won't boot anymore since the os is so screwed up)
[18:10] <marlun> xubuntuuser: Can I access my shares remotely with samba too?
[18:10] <unop> Uplink, deb is not a valid command understood by bash
[18:11] <bazhang> uplink there is nothing in the links about that. Please read more carefully.
[18:11] <Wolphie> evilbug: You will most likely need to remove the hard drive itself and use some kind of adapter
[18:11] <Keule|on9001> i need help i want t share my umts connected pda (wm6) with ubuntu... bluetooth - usb - wifi - whateva! please help!'
[18:11] <SitUbuntuSit> cjohnson, http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/16722424/detail.html -- looks like chmod -R
[18:11] <unop> Uplink, to install a .deb file, you need to use dpkg

[18:11] <SitUbuntuSit> oops
[18:11] <Uplink> unop, then how to i add the opera repository to my list?
[18:11] <SitUbuntuSit> cjohnson, http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/635762.html
[18:11] <bazhang> unop, he is trying to add a repo that way :)
[18:11] <Wolphie> evilbug: or put the hard drive into another desktop capable of reading it
[18:11] <unop> Uplink, read the !opera faq, it has instructions on that
[18:11] <Uplink> unop, Im stuck in the first command https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#Installation
[18:12] <evilbug> Wolphie- right... i'd have to buy one :( it's an old compaq from '98. ide hdd.
[18:12] <owner1> What does build essentials consist of ?
[18:12] <cjohnson> SitUbuntuSit, unop, sipior nevermind I had umask=007 in fstab for the partition...changed it to 002 (or should it be 000? the entire drive is for my documents)
[18:12] <Wolphie> evilbug: Do you not have any friends with a desktop computer? Even today, most if not all motherboards can still use IDE
[18:13] <Keule|on9001> i need help i want t share my umts connected pda (wm6) with ubuntu... bluetooth - usb - wifi - whateva! please help!'
[18:13] <evilbug> Wolphie- i have a desktop, but that's going on sata.
[18:13] <cjohnson> evilbug, or get a USB -> IDE adapter, 25 bucks, and it lets you use IDE drives from a usb port
[18:13] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine Uplink honestly, if you refuse to carefully read how to do things, there is no way to help you.
[18:13] <Uplink> bazhang, it doesnt make sence any of that
[18:13] <cjohnson> evilbug, you can still plug in an IDE drive in and use both SATA and IDE
[18:13] <unop> Uplink, you need to add that line to /etc/apt/sources.list -- see the first section on adding repositories
[18:13] <XGas> or get a harddrive enclosure with IDE for around... USD$ 20 bucks more or less
[18:13] <evilbug> cjohnson- i was thinking of that but was curious if there'd be any other way. ah, i'll try today.
[18:13] <Uplink> YES I DID
[18:13] <bazhang> Uplink, would a different language be easier for you?
[18:14] <Randocal> I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed and VLC 0,8,6e installed, when I attempt to watch a DVD i am getting an error stating: Unable to open 'dvd:///dev/hdc'. Can anyone suggest anything?
[18:14] <Wolphie> evilbug: That shouldn't matter, like I said. Most motherboards even today can still use IDE hard drives if you have the necessary IDE cable
[18:14] <cjohnson> XGas, that's pointless...those cheap enclosures are absolute junk and fall apart and have bad speeds, etc.
[18:14] <unop> cjohnson, a 002 umask gives you default permissions of 775 .. 000 would give you 777
[18:14] <Uplink> bazhang, english is my language =/
[18:14] <XGas> cjohnson: Like that is going to make a difference on a laptop/notebook/2.5 inch harddrive.
[18:14] <Uplink> unop, u dont get it neither...
[18:14] <cjohnson> unop, so for instance if I do umask=000 I could then chmod everything back to 775, but still have the ability to set it 777 right?
[18:14] <XGas> :\
[18:14] <Wolphie> You could have 2 hard drives using SATA, and another using IDE, it doesn't really make a great lot of difference. SATA is just much faster than IDE.
[18:15] <bazhang> Uplink, best to print out those docs and read them through.
[18:15] <cjohnson> XGas, speed doesn't much matter, but enclosures that fall apart are a waste of money
[18:15] <Uplink> bazhang, just help me out instead of giving stuff to read that i dont understand
[18:15] <unop> cjohnson, the umask only affects permissions on newly created files -- it does not affect permissions or the ability to change permissions on objects that already exist
[18:15] <evilbug> Wolphie- i see, thanks!
[18:15] <cjohnson> Uplink, lose the attitude if you want help
[18:15] <XGas> nah, I got a few, and I dropped them before, you just need to know where to find the good and cheap ones.
[18:15] <Wolphie> Uplink: You aren't going to get help by giving attitude.
[18:15] <cjohnson> unop, ah, I see
[18:15] <Uplink> cjohnson, if u even call it help
[18:15] <bazhang> !etiquette > Uplink
[18:15] <unop> Uplink, i don't think you are reading the faq properly, either that or you are trolling.

[18:16] <Wolphie> evilbug: When you open the machine up, try not to touch any delicate components such as the board itself or the processor without wearing an anti-static wrist-band.
[18:16] <bazhang> Uplink, you are refusing to read the answers given you.
[18:16] <owner1> bazhang i dont know anything about ubuntu, and i have no audi

[18:17] <Uplink> bazhang, i dont understand any of that
[18:17] <bjames> hi all
[18:17] <Wolphie> evilbug: Lol.... that's even worse, latex builds up a static charge which can damage computer components
[18:18] <Guest8086> How do I set Pidgin to sign into a specific IRC channel when it starts?
[18:18] <unop> bazhang, that might have been a little harsh :)
[18:18] <solexious> [Q] I have free space before my linux partitions, how can i grow my linux main partition to use the space?
[18:18] <cjohnson> Guest8086, add a new account, choose IRC for the protocol, and set the server
[18:18] <cjohnson> solexious, gparted
[18:18] <Guest8086> cjohnson: that logs onto a SERVER, not a specific channel though
[18:19] <Wolphie> owner1: This may sound a little stupid, but do you have your speakers and sound turned up/on?
[18:19] <solexious> cjohnson, I cant find the option in gparted..
[18:19] <cjohnson> unop, he was being quite rude, I wouldn't say so. I hate when people are rude to me when I get PAID, let alone when I'm volunteering
[18:19] <owner1> yes
[18:19] <xubuntuuser> ﻿marlun: Sorry, my English is quite bad... I tryed to interpret your question: SAMBA is the unix- "driver" for the smb-protocoll wich is used by windows. so it ports the windows-network.
[18:19] <owner1> speakers on
[18:19] <cjohnson> Guest8086, not sure about auto-joining channels...I find it's easy to just type /j #ubuntu
[18:19] <Keule|on9001> i need help i want t share my umts connected pda (wm6) with ubuntu... bluetooth - usb - wifi - whateva! please help!'
[18:19] <Wolphie> owner1: Have you tried searching around for drivers for your motherboard?
[18:19] <cjohnson> Guest8086, plus, pidgin isn't a very good IRC client...try XChat for more features like that
[18:20] <WCE> Is there a way to fix the lag delay that I experience on my audio player everytime im installing, opening an app??
[18:20] <cjohnson> WCE, that's usually related to cpu or hard drive
[18:20] <unop> cjohnson, well, maybe he was being rude - but that might be inherent in his inability to communicate well -- anyway, he's gone
[18:20] <owner1> yes but I am not sure how to install them
[18:20] <Wolphie> owner1: What kind of file are they?
[18:21] <Wolphie> owner1: If they.re .deb then ubuntu's package manager will install them automatically
[18:21] <thetank> can someone help me figure out where I should start, so that I can program a site similiar to itunes
[18:21] <Wolphie> they're*
[18:21] <cjohnson> WCE, please keep the conversation in the channel so others may offer suggestions ;)
[18:21] <Guest8086> cjohnson: I thought there must be some way, e.g. by setting the <server> to <channel>@<server>, but it doesn't work
[18:21] <owner1> Wolphie,realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06a.tar.bz2
[18:21] <WCE> cjohnson, i dont really think the issue is beacause of cpu/hdd
[18:21] <cjohnson> Guest8086, none that I know of
[18:22] <Prose> anyone know anything about VoIP on a linux server?
[18:22] <cjohnson> WCE, can you be sure though? watch the system manager while you open/install apps to see how heavy the cpu/hdd usages go up to
[18:22] <beerockxs> .
[18:22] <thetank> can someone help me figure out where I should start, so that I can program a site similiar to itunes
[18:22] <newlinetv> Hi, I'm about to setup ubuntu server with my netgear router, will ubuntu server pick up my router during setup?
[18:22] <WCE> cjohnson, ill try that now.
[18:22] <IamReck> thetank, you want to make a site like iTunes?
[18:22] <firestorm> Is slashdot.org loading for anybody?
[18:22] <cjohnson> thetank, 1: If you want to _program_ something, you're going to want to google some guides depending on the language
[18:22] <thetank> I figured ruby was the best, but I really don't know where to start
[18:22] <owner1> Wolphie, how
[18:22] <IamReck> thetank, you mean a program right?
[18:22] <cjohnson> thetank, iTunes isn't a site, it's a program
[18:23] <thetank> um
[18:23] <sipior> firestorm: yes
[18:23] <thetank> no I mean on the web
[18:23] <cjohnson> thetank, 3: Try taking a look at the sourcecode for Songbird...it's very similar to iTunes and is mozilla based
[18:23] <pixe1z> firestorm, yup
[18:23] <Wolphie> owner1: Ok, first you need to unpack it using this: "bunzip2 -dfv filename.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -" without quotes
[18:23] <IamReck> thetank, what languages do you know? HTML, XHTML, Java?
[18:23] <cjohnson> thetank, you can't have library management on the web unless you upload every song you own to a web server
[18:23] <beerockxs> where would I report that my wireless USB card is not working correctly?
[18:23] <Wolphie> owner1: Make sure you're in the directory in which the file is in
[18:23] <cjohnson> beerockxs, just ask the question here, if somebody knows they'll try to help you
[18:23] <esac> normal mp3's and avis play fine, but whenever i try to play a flash video, it finishes loading but stops playing after 2 seconds. any idea how to fix this ???
[18:24] <unop> thetank, ruby is a great language - but you might want to pick another language that has better support in terms of code reuse, availability of modules, etc
[18:24] <cjohnson> esac, that's a common problem with hardy
[18:24] <owner1> files are unpacked
[18:24] <thetank> well I have this awesome Idea
[18:24] <cjohnson> esac, installing libflashsupport helps a lot of people
[18:24] <esac> cjohnson, hopefully a common problem with a workaround ? :)
[18:24] <Wolphie> owner1: Ok, now what do you have?
[18:24] <DJAdmiral> Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu on my Dad's laptop - this is the first time I've seen the Install inside Windows option - what advantages does it have over having a separate partition for Ubuntu?
[18:24] <esac> cjohnson, thanks ill give it a try
[18:24] <beerockxs> network-manager says the signal strength is at 97%, which should be correct, considering the router/AP is about 20 cm from my computer
[18:24] <cjohnson> esac, I'm not sure of the other fixes, but libflashsupport did it for me
[18:24] <thetank> which I hesitate to tell so that I don't get punked
[18:24] <WCE> cjohnson, it lagged, but the only difference it made when i opened an ap was that the cpu went from 30% to 55-60% the ram usage was the same
[18:24] <firestorm> sipior, pixe1z: thanks. must be my ISPs DNS server then...what IP does nslookup give for ya?
[18:24] <beerockxs> but I get 47% packet loss when pinging my router
[18:24] <thetank> I really wish I could find a trustworthy programmer to help
[18:25] <cjohnson> WCE, perhaps it's the player? which player are you using? and what about the hard drive usage?
[18:25] <DJAdmiral> thetank: What do you need?
[18:25] <Wolphie> thetank: What are you looking for?
[18:25] <owner1> 3 files 4 folders
[18:25] <newlinetv> Hi, I'm about to setup ubuntu server with my netgear router, will ubuntu server pick up my router during setup?
[18:25] <thetank> okay, I need covers for dvd and cd
[18:25] <WCE> cjohnson, happens with any player im using (Banshee)
[18:25] <Wolphie> owner1: Ok, what kind of files? And what's inside the folders?
[18:25] <unop> newlinetv, how is the machine connected upto the router?
[18:25] <thetank> a library of names of bands and dvds
[18:25] <IamReck> !ot thetank
[18:25] <sipior> firestorm: well, if you're getting a dns response at all, the number is almost certainly correct. might simply be a temporary routing issue
[18:25] <Prose> !voip
[18:26] <cjohnson> IamReck, forgot the |

[18:26] <firestorm> sipior: no DNS response at all. If you can supply the IP I will then see if I have a routing path
[18:26] <DJAdmiral> Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu on my Dad's laptop - this is the first time I've seen the Install inside Windows option - what advantages does it have over having a separate partition for Ubuntu?

[18:26] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: Please elaborate
[18:26] <owner1> Wolphie, I have driver,lib and utils
[18:27] <pixe1z> firestorm,  216.34.181.48
[18:27] <Wolphie> owner1: What type of file is the driver?
[18:27] <unop> DJAdmiral, it allows you to install ubuntu without splitting up existing partitions - which can be a pain
[18:27] <IamReck> !ot | thetank
[18:27] <firestorm> sipior: hmm not connecting on port 80 ... must be more than DNS :)
[18:27] <thetank> basically have a social community comparing personal libraries
[18:27] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie: Well I'm using the Desktop 8.04 install CD
[18:27] <Wolphie> owner1: Also, is there any release notes or installation instructions?
[18:27] <thetank> sorry
[18:27] <esac> !nazis
[18:27] <DJAdmiral> unop: So having not to worry about partitions is the only advantage?
[18:27] <esac> lol!
[18:27] <DJAdmiral> unop: Can you access files directly?
[18:27] <airin_72> !wifi airin_72 try this

[18:27] <rich_> backlights under macbook pro 4g, anyone got it working?
[18:28] <Kelen> DJAdmiral: Of course no problem here, i mean is there any problem on pidgin sets..
[18:28] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: A partition is exactly like having another hard drive, except partitions are on the same hard drive.
[18:28] <firestorm> Any OO.o calc / MS Excel gurus about? ﻿﻿I have two tables, each with a common ID field. I want to create a third table that contains only the entries from table 1 that are not present in table 2. How can I achieve this?
[18:28] <unop> DJAdmiral, pretty much - what do you mean by access files directly?
[18:28] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie: I'm not *that* stupid.
[18:28] <newlinetv> Hi, I'm about to setup ubuntu server with my netgear router, will ubuntu server pick up my router during setup?
[18:28] <andycan> Why doesnt ubuntu automatically enable alsa software mixing? Is there some specific reason to use pulseaudio instead of alsa mixer?
[18:28] <zloog> newlinetv: yup
[18:28] <unop> newlinetv, how is the machine connected upto the router?
[18:28] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: If the operating system has access to the hard drive, then all you need to do is mount the partitions in linux.
[18:28] <Kelen> DJAdmiral: Cuz i always lagged out of here..
[18:29] <DJAdmiral> unop: As in if you install inside Windows with the wubi.exe utility, then windows can copy files from ubuntu without having to restart and vice-versa?
[18:29] <newlinetv> unop: server is wired to the router
[18:29] <unop> newlinetv, ethernet?
[18:29] <DJAdmiral> unop: And would you be able to boot into ubuntu from within windows?
[18:29] <newlinetv> unop: yes
[18:29] <newlinetv> unop: it's a netgear router (it's also a wireless router)
[18:29] <owner1> Wolphie, which instructions do I want ?
[18:30] <unop> newlinetv, then what you have to worry about is that the ethernet interface has drivers loaded (which should be automagic) -- the rest is really plug-and-play

[18:30] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: No, you cannot boot ubuntu from within windows (like with a virtual machine), you have to select what operating system to boot from in the boot manager
[18:30] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: However, using wubi is much the same as installing Linux and Windows on seperate partitions
[18:30] <unop> DJAdmiral, I am not sure that windows can read files off of a wubi install - as the wubi install is in a file itself
[18:31] <unop> DJAdmiral, but the reverse is true .. a wubi install can read files off of a windows partition
[18:31] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie, unop: I see. So there's no real advantage other than not having to bother with partitions whatsoever.
[18:31] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: The only difference is that you can access the Linux file system from within windows. But you've always been able to access the windows partition inside linux if you mount it and it's not locked
[18:31] <unop> DJAdmiral, right
[18:32] <newlinetv> unop: thanks for your replies, i'll see how it goes :)
[18:32] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie: That's what I wanted to know - you can access the linux filesystem from within windows to copy files from ubuntu to linux, correct?
[18:32] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: No, there isn't an advantage in that respect. However, if you're like me and enjoy learning new things then it's best to do it all yourself
[18:32] <unop> Wolphie, does wubi create a seperate partition or install ubuntu within a virtual partition (i.e. a file) ?
[18:32] <Xcaliber009> so does anyone know how to recover a file from lost+found?
[18:32] <DJAdmiral> unop: I think it makes a file. There's definitely no partition involved.
[18:33] <Xcaliber009> i had to take a trouble call so i don't know if i missed the response
[18:33] <owner1> Wolphie, the readme file is of an unknown typw
[18:33] <unop> DJAdmiral, thats what i think too -- if thats the case, then windows has no real ability of reading into that file
[18:34] <Wolphie> unop: It uses a file, the only difference is that Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu to allow you to select Ubuntu from the boot manager
[18:34] <rich_> i will give 100 dollars to someone that can get the keys working on a mac
[18:34] <mirkuz> hello
[18:34] <hccmb> tell me, of some awsum linux games! wich one do you like most?
[18:34] <mirkuz> can any1 help me configuring my audio?
[18:34] <Wolphie> owner1: What did you try to edit it with?
[18:34] <rsk> hccmb: wesnoth
[18:34] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie, unop: but can you access the linux filesystem from within windows, Wolphie?
[18:35] <hccmb> mirkuz , open gnome console and type lspci , look for audio
[18:35] <DJAdmiral> hccmb: OpenArena, Nexuiz, Tremulous, TORCS, Neverwinter Nights, Planeshift
[18:35] <unop> DJAdmiral, I would say no
[18:35] <Kelen> unop: Actually the way of install with wubi is not real install for ubuntu,,
[18:35] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: Yes, you can. Except you need to be careful when moving files back and forth, and putting them into the right directories.
[18:35] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: Otherwise you could corrupt the ubuntu installation.
[18:35] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie: Exactly how can you do this?
[18:35] <unop> Wolphie, yes, how is this done?
[18:36] <owner1> Wolphie, in the drivers folder I have mpu,opl3,opl4,pcsp and vx
[18:36] <BlackCow> every time I log into my account it takes FOREVER to load up and I eventually get an error box that basically says, "error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon". Someone suggested that I remove all my .g folders to reset my settings. While that did reset them I still have the problem. Is it possible to reinstall gnome?
[18:36] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: Ubuntu is installed under the C: drive, C:\ubuntu I think.
[18:36] <mystery_> hello all
[18:36] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie: But can you go into C:\ubuntu and copy files from there?
[18:36] <Wolphie> owner1: What text editing application did you use to try and edit the readme file?
[18:37] <hccmb> i wonder if never winternights is an nice game
[18:37] <hccmb> any one playing it?
[18:37] <ASULutzy> !ot | hccmb
[18:37] <DJAdmiral> hccmb: I am.
[18:37] <hccmb> a yes
[18:37] <hccmb> sorry
[18:37] <Wolphie> DJAdmiral: I don't see no reason why not, although I don't use Wubi. But I would assume so.
[18:37] <unop> Wolphie, are you saying that wubi installs to a folder (i.e.  C:\ubuntu) as opposed to a file containing a filesystem - like with vmware ?
[18:37] <mystery_> i think my system has crashed. how can i prevent this from happening
[18:37] <owner1> I did not try and edit the file
[18:37] <hccmb> offtopic...
[18:37] <ASULutzy> unop: Wubi is bad but it does install to a single file on the NTFS file system inside of a Windows install
[18:37] <DJAdmiral> Wolphie, unop: I believe it would be installed into a file, because of the filesystem differences and limitations. I'll do some googling.
[18:37] <ASULutzy> !wubi | unop
[18:37] <Fenix-Dark> i just installed mythbuntu, after it loads, the splash screen comes up fine with the progress bar, but after that, i get snow
[18:38] <Wolphie> unop: Yes, it is.
[18:38] <unop> Wolphie, if that is the case - how do you browse the contents of this file?
[18:38] <unop> Wolphie, that's all i want to know :)
[18:38] <hccmb> Fenix-Dark, snow means your card , you ned to search channels
[18:38] <ASULutzy> unop: I'm not sure you can browse the contents of the file in Windows. Maybe it's mountable, but I have no idea how
[18:38] <connor> pidgin wont connect D:
[18:39] <Fenix-Dark> hccmb, its before mythtv loads
[18:39] <Wolphie> unop: That's a silly question, how would you usually browse file system?
[18:39] <Fenix-Dark> everything is snow
[18:39] <unop> ASULutzy, thanks i am aware of what wubi is - just never used it to know how you use windows to read contents of the wubi install
[18:39] <Fenix-Dark> gnome is snow, and text when i do ctrl + alt + 2 is snow
[18:39] <owner1> Wolphie, whats next?
[18:39] <ASULutzy> unop: Actually you can read it
[18:39] <ASULutzy> unop: Check the FAQ I linked
[18:39] <unop> Wolphie, i dont think it is silly -- can you use windows explorer to browse the contents off of a binary file ?
[18:40] <Wolphie> unop: Considering as far as what I've read, it isn't a binary file.
[18:40] <RonLut> What is the main difference between ubuntu and xubuntu? except the fact the xubuntu is lighter, but can I install there everything that I'm able to install on ubuntu? medibuntu too?
[18:40] <hccmb> Fenix-Dark, strange, ...
[18:40] <unop> Wolphie, errm, a virtual file system pretty much has to be a binary file
[18:40] <Fenix-Dark> hccmb... yea

[18:41] <Riotta> RonLut: they are the same except that you have said
[18:41] <DJAdmiral> ASULutzy: Thanks I was looking for that
[18:41] <owner1> Can someone help me install a driver?
[18:41] <Wolphie> unop: It's not a binary, it's a file system which is readable by the client.
[18:41] <Wolphie> It's just a virtual disk
[18:41] <mirkuz> hccmb i tried what u said and found out the hardware, then went in the options, but it says that the hardware i use has only a mono channel! but it has ports for 7.1
[18:41] <Fenix-Dark> hccmb, i know my hardware works, as there's no visual artifacting in the bios/posting screen/mythbuntu loading screen, the text is fine when i do ctrl + alt + 2, until the os finishes loading, then its snowy and the text is all jumbled
[18:41] <esac> where is 'task manager' in ubuntu ?

[18:42] <RonLut> Riotta: so the only reason to install ubuntu is if you want more effects and etc? and you don't have a processor or ram problem....
[18:42] <Wolphie> esac: System > Administration > System Monitor
[18:42] <pixe1z> esac, i think thats what you wnat
[18:42] <connor> airin_72: or try gnome-panel replace?

[18:44] <owner1>  I have no sound and ubuntu recognizes my sound card, can someone please help.
[18:44] <unop> Wolphie, a virtual disk is a binary file - dont say it isn't ? because it can't be a text file - the only other possibilty is that it is binary -- anyway, my question was answered with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-ab15abd946d235e7eab64c09f173fc8c71ad6a68 courtesy of ASULutzy
[18:44] <owner1>  I have no sound and ubuntu recognizes my sound card, can someone please help.
[18:44] <hccmb> Fenix-Dark , maybe reconfigure your video card might help out
[18:44] <Riotta> well RonLut in general yes, and not in general well Ubuntu itself is best Ubuntu expirience, it's has few more polished things in case on integration with other programs

[18:45] <Agion> how can I open it?

[18:45] <ikonia> Agion: "which python" will show it
[18:45] <unop> Agion, at a terminal - which python;  python -V
[18:45] <Fenix-Dark> hccmb, and the mouse pointer
[18:45] <Agion> ok :P
[18:45] <Wolphie> unop: If you want to argue, or act like a smart-ass then okay. Considering binary is text. Binary is just strings consisting of 8 characters. Known as Little Endian.
[18:46] <Riotta> owner1: share with us about your problem

[18:48] <zloog> Hi, I'm going to let my sister start using my computer under her own account. Is there a way I can setup sudo such that she is only allowed to run 1 particular script as root but not do anything else that could hurt my comp?
[18:48] <Jason2gs> The text-based installer for Ubuntu is acting up on me. Two things. 1) It says "Loading module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy'..." on the "Detecting hardware" page. And 2) After that page, it complains about how it can't find the CD-ROM. Even though it's currently using the CD-ROM to run the installer...
[18:49] <unop> Wolphie, err, you want to update your definition of what a binary file is - because the encoding in terms of endianess has nothing to do with with the file being text or binary but how line-endings (\n or \r\n) are used
[18:49] <H__> zloog : yes, man sudo
[18:49] <Wolphie> owner1: What kind of media file are you trying to play? And when you try to play it, does it give you a message alerting you to download additional codecs?
[18:49] <hccmb> got to go, bye all
[18:49] <Riotta> owner1: I think it's your codecs cause the card should be supported out of the box

[19:11] <ASULutzy> owner1: 99% of sound problems can generally be fixed by making sure you have the correct device selected for output. I'd play around with system -> preferences -> sound
[19:12] <Magicdead> airin_72: you need to bood with the live-cd (which is the regular install cd) to unmount the root drive ...
[19:12] <raheem> airin_72: try with a live cd .. it should work

[19:13] <jimcooncat> alicec: firewall is not active by default. Unless you configured one, you should have no issue
[19:13] <Prose> Starnestommy: the usual " subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10"
[19:13] <ASULutzy> alicec: There is no default firewall, iptables has no default blocking rules
[19:14] <raheem> owner1: right mouse click on the sound icon, volume control, on the file, select Change Device & c the options there
[19:14] <ASULutzy> alicec: Sorry, there is a default firewall, it's called iptables, but by default it doesn't block any traffic. Need to be more accurate there ;)
[19:14] <raheem> owner1: you try with those options .. it should be working , try it out
[19:14] <C_Jack> HI i need help, how to install Ventrilo client????
[19:14] <airin_72> I'm not able to restart because gui is going crazy
[19:14] <jimcooncat> thanks ASULutzy that's what I meant
[19:15] <C_Jack> HI i need help, how to install Ventrilo client???????
[19:15] <owner1> Nope, nothing
[19:15] <ASULutzy> jimcooncat: heh, I was more correcting myself, what you said was more correct than what I typed originally :P
[19:15] <airin_72> make computer start in GUI as default
[19:15] <Prose> C_Jack: is it in repositories?
[19:15] <erisco> how can I A) login as root and B) restrict internet access for a user?
[19:15] <airin_72> how do I make the computer start in GUI as default
[19:15] <twa1296_> need some help with synergy, the host keyboard wont use the client layout settings, this just after i dist upgraded, any ideas?
[19:16] <ASULutzy> erisco: You shouldn't login as root, you should use sudo. What do you mean exactly by restrict?
[19:16] <owner1> Till next time
[19:16] <erisco> ASULutzy, I absolutely must login as root, and by restrict I mean disallow
[19:16] <ASULutzy> owner1: raheem's advice was good, try it
[19:16] <airin_72> help?
[19:16] <C_Jack> Prose, better tell me where to get Cedega 5.0
[19:16] <genii> erisco: A) is discouraged. For B) it depends on what aspects of the internet you want to restrict
[19:16] <ASULutzy> erisco: use sudo -i, root logins are disallowed by default in Ubuntu
[19:16] <erisco> ASULutzy, I took the only user (other than root) out of the sudo group
[19:16] <erisco> ASULutzy, so I cannot sudo
[19:17] <airin_72> cmon I really need help
[19:17] <ASULutzy> erisco: lol
[19:17] <erisco> genii, LAN access is fine, WAN is bad
[19:17] <raheem> airin_72: isn't it starting in gui, by default ?
[19:17] <crdlb> erisco: choose the recovery console at the bootloader
[19:17] <Prose> C_Jack: well I am pretty sure you have to pay for cedega
[19:17] <erisco> crdlb, what is the hotkey for that in grub?
[19:17] <erisco> crdlb, the screen goes by too fast to read it
[19:17] <crdlb> erisco: press Escape to launch the menu
[19:17] <erisco> ASULutzy, yeah... oops :P
[19:17] <ASULutzy> erisco: You may need recovery console... The password for root by default in Ubuntu doesn't exist (the hash stored in /etc/shadow begins with "!") and so it is not possible to log in as root.
[19:17] <erisco> crdlb, thanks
[19:17] <C_Jack> Prose , oke how to pay??? where????
[19:18] <Prose> http://www.transgaming.com/
[19:18] <airin_72> raheem: as this morning I have to type xwindies for GUI
[19:18] <erisco> but what about disabling internet access for a user?
[19:18] <airin_72> I mean startx
[19:18] <ASULutzy> erisco: In order to enable root logins you would need to do sudo passwd root, but since you can't do that, you'll need to boot into recovery console... Why are you so against using sudo in the way ubuntu intends?
[19:18] <raheem> airin_72: did u change any settings ?
[19:18] <beeant_> owner1: Are you on Ubuntu Hardy? If you are, you need to also check the pulseaudio settings.
[19:19] <C_Jack> Prose
[19:19] <erisco> ASULutzy, I am fine with sudo, but as I said I accidentally removed the user from the sudo group
[19:19] <Prose> C_Jack:
[19:19] <airin_72> raheem: no
[19:19] <C_Jack> Prose , oke how to pay??? where????
[19:19] <erisco> ASULutzy, it was just a checkbox that said "administer"... I didn't know
[19:19] <Prose> C_Jack: http://www.cedega.com/subscription/subscribe.html
[19:19] <ASULutzy> erisco: Ah ok, then yea, recovery console it is. Recovery console will give you a root shell, from there you can either create another user and add it to administrators group (recommended) or you could enable a root password with passwd root
[19:20] <erisco> ASULutzy, what command creates a user?
[19:20] <Gigs> I am having trouble with pulseaudio on hardy too
[19:20] <airin_72> raheem: pm?
[19:20] <Gigs> since I upgraded I can't play more than one sound at a time
[19:20] <Prose> C_Jack: seriously, just browsing the site should be enough to find where to pay.. I don't think they hide the pay-here part of the site
[19:20] <ASULutzy> erisco: adduser (man adduser for manual)
[19:20] <erisco> ASULutzy, thanks
[19:20] <TooR4u> erisco, first google it ... !!
[19:21] <erisco> TooR4u, well I did google on how to disable internet access... didn't find anything
[19:21] <erisco> TooR4u, any ideas on how to do that?
[19:21] <raheem> airin_72: can u c the contents of the /etc/inittab
[19:21] <Gigs> beeant_: where are these pulseaudio settings?
[19:21] <airin_72> I'll check
[19:21] <TooR4u> erisco, Hmmm .. no idea..
[19:21] <Gigs> the only thing I found was /etc/default/pulseaudio  and that's not helpful
[19:22] <ASULutzy> erisco: Disabling internet is more interesting. I was going to type out how, but then google gave me this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/disable-internet-access-for-particular-user-in-ubuntu.html
[19:22] <yjwong> Gigs, System -> Preferences -> Sound will let you select the software sound mixer for Ubuntu
[19:22] <vlt> Hello. I try to `resize2fs /dev/hda1` which is an ext3 fs mounted on "/". But I get "resize2fs: Filesystem does not support online resizing" which doesn't match the man page's "the Linux 2.6 kernel supports on-line resize for filesystems mounted using ext3" very well. Any idea what to do?
[19:22] <Gigs> yjwong: All I have is a checkbox to turn ESD on and off
[19:22] <yjwong> For Hardy, it's PulseAudio by default. And take note that Firefox w/ Flash Player 9 (from the repositories) do not contain PulseAudio support
[19:22] <beeant_> gigs: The settings apps for pulseaudio are not installed by default. Goto synaptic and search for pulseaudio, you will need at least the pulseaudio volume controller.
[19:23] <TooR4u> ASULutzy, its cooolll .. doc
[19:23] <Gigs> beeant_: oh ok, well multiplexing/mixing isn't working at all
[19:23] <yjwong> Gigs, the software mixer selection is in the "Devices" tab
[19:23] <airin_72> I can't find /etc/inittab
[19:23] <yjwong> I choose "PulseAudio Sound Server" for everything
[19:23] <Gigs> oh yes, I see
[19:23] <hardhatpat> I cant seem to get GD to function with my php-cli
[19:24] <ASULutzy> vlt: Even if it says it supports hot resizing, I'd feel much much much safer doing it from a live-cd
[19:24] <beeant_> Gigs: install the PA volume controller and check sounds apps appear when they are playing.
[19:24] <Gigs> yjwong: do you use a mic too?
[19:24] <hardhatpat> apt says php5-gd is installed ... but any time i try and use any GD functions it gives me an error
[19:24] <Gigs> beeant_: ok cool
[19:24] <yjwong> And for Flash Player, you can either 1) Install "libflashsupport" from repositories, or 2) Install Flash Player 10 from Adobe Labs
[19:24] <Shaba2> anyone here know enough about xubuntu and vnc to answer a question without being sarcastic?
[19:24] <erisco> ASULutzy, thanks
[19:24] <yjwong> Gigs, yep, mine's a built in mike, a laptop
[19:24] <ASULutzy> erisco: np
[19:24] <yjwong> And it does work (:
[19:25] <erisco> ASULutzy, how do I modify a user rather than add a new one?
[19:25] <erisco> ASULutzy, I am in the recovery console just fine now
[19:25] <ASULutzy> erisco: What do you want to modify?
[19:25] <erisco> ASULutzy, I want to put the user back into the sudo group
[19:25] <erisco> ASULutzy, that way I can get the other users added graphically ;()
[19:26] <erisco> ASULutzy, useradd? I'll try that
[19:26] <vlt> ASULutzy: I have no CD drive.
[19:26] <ASULutzy> erisco: I think you would use "useradd -G administrators theUserName" but not 100% sure it's called administrators, one sec
[19:26] <yjwong> It's called "admin" (:
[19:27] <erisco> ASULutzy, I think yjwong is right
[19:27] <ASULutzy> erisco: It's called admin, as yjwong said
[19:27] <vlt> ASULutzy: I think I'll have to debootstrap and boot another installation ...
[19:28] <boriz> hello eveyrone
[19:29] <tehboriz> everyone's afk?
[19:29] <ASULutzy> erisco: I guess technically you could name the group whatever you wanted, but by default in /etc/sudoers it has all members of the group "admin" :P
[19:29] <erisco> ASULutzy, useradd complains the user already exists
[19:29] <erisco> ASULutzy, apparently its something different in order to modify a user
[19:29] <ASULutzy> erisco: Use usermod maybe
[19:29] <tehboriz> i just got ubuntu yesterday and spent about 10 hours figuring out how to make it work
[19:29] <tehboriz> all those dual screen tutorials arent working for me
[19:30] <ASULutzy> erisco: usermod -a -G admin theUserName
[19:30] <yjwong> usermod -G admin --append <username>
[19:30] <yjwong> =D
[19:30] <TooR4u> erisco, to add a particular user into sudo users list .. then add that user into /etc/sudoers list
[19:30] <ASULutzy> Heh, maybe that's teh right way :P
[19:30] <ASULutzy> yjwong: What would mine have done? :P
[19:30] <TooR4u> erisco, thats the easiest way
[19:30] <yjwong> It's the same =D
[19:31] <TooR4u> yup
[19:31] <yjwong> But mine's a mixture of short and long options LOL.
[19:31] <chalcedony> what do you do if UPGRADE STOPS in the middle and doesn't continue? (on Gutsy)
[19:31] <tehboriz> i can't get dual screen to work someone plx help :(
[19:31] <yjwong> chalcedony, is it a distribution upgrade?
[19:31] <raheem> !runlevel
[19:31] <ASULutzy> yjwong: Yea, I figured my -a was --append ;) your's looks smarter maybe
[19:31] <chalcedony> yjwong: i think just the regular upgrade
[19:31] <eth01> google.com/search.php?=runlevel
[19:31] <yjwong> Typically you can continue the update by typing "dpkg --configure -a" in a Terminal
[19:32] <chalcedony> yjwong: TY TY
[19:32] <tehboriz> i can't get dual screen to work someone plx help :(
[19:32] <yjwong> No problem (:
[19:32] <yjwong> tehboriz, what graphics card/chipset are you using?
[19:32] <unop> chalcedony, probably also worthwhile running.   sudo aptitude install -f
[19:32] <tehboriz> nvidia 7300 go
[19:33] <david123> anyone know how to get rid of a virus in ubuntu?
[19:33] <tehboriz> i've tried everything... the most i've gotten was one monitor at 640x480 MAX resolution
[19:33] <yjwong> Hmm, unfortunately I don't have an nVidia card for me to check with. Sorry!
[19:33] <Magicdead> hum this i weird, i'm compiling something at it complains that it needs libao >0.8.0 and that libao ain't installed, but i habe libao2 0.8.8 and libao-pulse 0.9.3
[19:33] <yjwong> david123, what? There's a virus in Ubuntu? o_o Anyway, are you referring to a Windows virus?
[19:33] <magnetron> david123: did you get a virus in ubuntu?
[19:33] <unop> david123, errm, viruses are almost non-existant on linux - are you trying to disinfect a windows partition?
[19:34] <ASULutzy> I think david123 means how to remove a Windows virus on a Windows partition from Ubuntu
[19:34] <david123> magntron and yjwong idk all clam tk said was myemail@gmail.imap.com.VIRUS
[19:34] <Shaba1> I do not think you can do that
[19:34] <david123> myemail being my actual email address
[19:34] <Shaba1> unless you know how to remove it manually
[19:34] <magnetron> david123: ClamAV doesn't remove viruses.
[19:34] <Sylphid|work> tehboriz, have you tried installing the nvidia drivers and config packages from the repositories?
[19:35] <erisco> ASULutzy, all recovered, thanks
[19:35] <david123> magnetron i know how do i remove it?
[19:35] <Magicdead> ah nevermind, i just realives while there is no actual libao, there is indeed a libao-dev ^^
[19:35] <ASULutzy> erisco: Awesome!
[19:35] <Jason2gs> Is there some sort of guide for installing Ubuntu with the text-based installer? It keeps messing up on me.
[19:35] <magnetron> david123: you need an anti-virus program
[19:35] <tehboriz> yes Sylphid| i have
[19:35] <unop> Jason2gs, at what stage does it fail and how?
[19:35] <david123> magnetron yes can you reccomend one?
[19:35] <cjohnson> Jason2gs, you're using the alternative CD?
[19:35] <magnetron> !install | Jason2gs
[19:35] <cjohnson> Jason2gs, it's pretty self-explanatory, just ask us if something goes wrong and detail it
[19:36] <Jason2gs> It fails when it tries to find the CD-ROM. It gives me a few options, but either way the installation gets no where.
[19:36] <yjwong> david123, maybe you would want to try AVG Free for Linux? But it's proprietary ): I'm not sure whether that would solve your problem though.
[19:36] <FuRom> Ummmm, I'm having issues with ubuntu freezing up after I login. It doesn't freeze up immediately, it works right for a few mins. I think I might have someone attacking my server or something, but I don't know what log to check. My apache log seems fine, but I don't know where my SMTP server is logged, and I don't know what to check, if it's not my SMTP server.
[19:36] <Jason2gs> Thanks magnetron :)
[19:36] <root__> KIEn anda en LA CAMPUS
[19:36] <david123> yjwong thanks i didn't even know there was anything other than clamTK
[19:37] <root__> a okas
[19:37] <david123> yjwong and i do mean a virus in Ubuntu but i could be a false positive?
[19:37] <unop> FuRom, check the output of..   tail -f /var/log/{dmesg,debug,kern.log}
[19:37] <ASULutzy> FuRom: Is it completely frozen (ie can you ctrl+alt+f1 to another terminal)
[19:37] <yjwong> It *could* be a false positive
[19:37] <magnetron> !rootirc | root__
[19:37] <yjwong> But I think it's a false positive, and anyway the virus should not affect Ubuntu
[19:38] <hernanps> hi
[19:38] <hernanps> saludos del Peru
[19:38] <david123> yjwong well i don't want it getting on the windows machine on my network
[19:38] <hernanps> greetings from peru
[19:38] <david123> yjwong if it can?
[19:38] <FuRom> ASULutzy, I didn't think about trying to get to the terminal.
[19:39] <yjwong> david123, ah, possibly then you would want to check with alternative anti-virus scanners then, just for a peace of mind (:
[19:39] <anirudh0> david123, there is avast for linux..not needed though
[19:39] <ASULutzy> FuRom: Well, I'd try that. If you're able to do that you'll probably be able to find out what's wrong a little bit better. If it's absolutely hardlocking, then you probably won't find anything useful in the logs
[19:39] <david123> anirudhG Avast? really? why is it not needed?
[19:40] <Dante123> ﻿ hi...I have 8.04 and whenever I drag and drop something from a cd (folder and data files) onto desktop it copies it over but the folder and files are all locked
[19:40] <FuRom> unop, thanks, this looks like it might help me a bit.
[19:40] <Dante123> ﻿I don't rememeber it working this way before under gutsy....any suggestions?
[19:40] <yjwong> anirudh0, usualy anti-virus softwares for Linux are for disinfecting Windows partitions/PCs =]
[19:40] <tehboriz> garry's mod from steam works poorly in wine... I get like 20 fps :(
[19:40] <unop> FuRom, I had a problem with the fan module with one of the newer kernels (> 2.6.20) -- every few minutes for about 10 seconds, it would spew out a lot of messages in /var/log/dmesg causing the kernel to soft-lock - what you are experiencing sounds a bit like what i had
[19:40] <asmo[B]> david123: the only way it would get onto the windows machine is if you didn't have a good anti-virus for the windows machine... it's not going to run in unbuntu so it's not really going to be able to do what it does to spread unless you move it to that windows machine really...
[19:40] <anirudh0> david123, i meant avast antivirus..not needed because "virus" does'nt make sense on linux
[19:40] <HymnToLife> Dante123: you need to change their permissions afterwards
[19:40] <yjwong> And mail servers running Linux usually use them to scan emails
[19:40] <anirudh0> david123, practically none known
[19:40] <FuRom> ASULutzy, oddly, I can't duplicate the problem, when I want to. xD
[19:40] <anirudh0> yjwong, yup
[19:40] <matrix09> !firefox
[19:40] <ASULutzy> FuRom: heh, well next time it happens, try to switch terminals
[19:41] <Dante123> ﻿HymnToLife: I try to do this via GUI by right clicking...and then add read write for my name....but it still doesn't work
[19:41] <david123> anirudhG or yjwong asmo [b] so which is better for linux avast or avg?
[19:41] <anirudh0> david123, you have a windows hangover my friend :)
[19:41] <asmo[B]> david123: I don't see a point in using one in linux...
[19:41] <ASULutzy> david123: You really don't need an antivirus for Windows other than to check files that you're going to open on Windows, but that doesn't make much sense since you could just check them while on Windows.
[19:41] <anirudh0> david123, antivirus software is not needed..period.
[19:41] <yjwong> david123, I'm not so sure, anyway I'm running Vista and Ubuntu both without anti-viruses, so I do not have such experience =D
[19:42] <Dante123> ﻿ HymnToLife: found my error...thanks.
[19:42] <asmo[B]> I use symantec corporate on my windows laptop
[19:42] <anirudh0> ASULutzy, is wine affected by windows viruses?
[19:42] <Victor```> hmm, ubuntu won't load the linux kernel past a certain percentage
[19:42] <asmo[B]> but nothing on ubuntu
[19:42] <anirudh0> Victor```, live cd?
[19:42] <Victor```> anirudh0, yes
[19:42] <david123> well its okay to be paranoid no? and actually i've been a ubuntu user for a yr now
[19:42] <david123> =)
[19:42] <anirudh0> Victor```, check cd image
[19:42] <unop> anirudh0, well, a 127 documented viruses for linux isn't none -- it always pays to make sure you aren't infected, better to be safe, than sorry afterwards
[19:43] <wols_> david123: AV products are snakeoil: useless shit to draw money out of your pocket. a racket
[19:43] <anirudh0> david123, if you are paranoid configure a good firewall :)..much better use of time
[19:43] <ASULutzy> anirudh0: Not sure, I was more referring to if you share a drive, or your Linux is acting a server and files from the Linux machine will be shared with Windows machines. In that case an antivirus makes a bit of sense since you don't want to help spread infected files.
[19:43] <Wolphie> I don't run any form of anti-virus on windows, mac or linux. There really is no need if you're not stupid enought to download everything you see.
[19:43] <asmo[B]> david123: paranoia is for windows
[19:43] <david123> anirudhG um firestarter?
[19:43] <anirudh0> ASULutzy, interesting idea though...a way for win viruses to pollute linux :)
[19:43] <FuRom> ﻿unop, I'll know when it happens again. I just looked at my access logs for apache, I think it might have actually just been an attack. I really hope it was just an attack, because I could figure out how to fix that. xD
[19:43] <Wolphie> However, firewalls come in handy. Viruses can't really do a great deal of damage if it can't connect to the outside world.
[19:43] <ASULutzy> I would like to point out though, that saying you don't need an antivirus for Linux is pretty dependent on using Linux the way it's intended to be used. If you're running around running things as root indiscriminately you're just as vulnerable to a virus as you are on Windows (albeit less exist for Linux)
[19:43] <wols_> david123: firestarter is a fw config tool. the only linux "firewall" (stupid word) is netfilter
[19:43] <anirudh0> ASULutzy, but nothing can ,mess with /usr..so even wine should be safe..permissions
[19:43] <unop> FuRom, well, how often does this happen?
[19:44] <david123> wols_ really?
[19:44] <wols_> david123: yes
[19:44] <Wolphie> Yeah, it may corrupt some files, but if you keep back-up's then there's no problem.
[19:44] <david123> wols_ so i need firestarter and netfilter?
[19:44] <anirudh0> wols_, why
[19:44] <dyek> Anybody knows how well it works if a package depends on the lsb package as the sole dependency?  With "apt-get install lsb", I got "lsb: Depends: lsb-core but it is not going to be installed", ....  That doesn't seem like user-friendly at all if my package depends on lsb. Some lsb's dependencies seem to conflicts with lsb itself, but I'm not entirely sure.
[19:44] <david123> wols_  i thought firestarter says reassuring things like firewall on and lock firewall etc?
[19:44] <wols_> anirudh0: why what?
[19:45] <anirudh0> wols_, why is firewall a stupid word :)
[19:45] <Dante124> I copied some folders/files from cd onto this laptop...but folders are locked and it won't let me change the permissions via GUI...any suggestions?
[19:45] <Starnestommy> david123: netfilter is installed by default with the iptables utility
[19:45] <wols_> david123: yes. "reassuring". it's made to feelgood. doesn't say anything about usefulness
[19:45] <FuRom> unop, it just started happening, like, 20 mins ago. I've not had any issues all morning, and it's happened about 4 times now. It first happened when I was opening a tab in firefox. It could just be firefox as well, but my last freeze, I didn't run firefox, so it kinda eliminates me.
[19:45] <anirudh0> Dante124, use sudo chmod 777 <folder-name >/* from terminal
[19:45] <unop> dyek, sounds like you haven't enabled all the ubuntu repositories - especially the one housing lsb-core
[19:45] <Victor```> how do you boot the livecd with acpi off?
[19:45] <FuRom> eliminates firefox*
[19:45] <david123> Starnestommy: wait by default in ubuntu?
[19:46]  * FuRom can't type today.
[19:46] <airin_72>  !reassure david123
[19:46] <anirudh0> Victor```, umm...press F6 for extra options iirc
[19:46] <unop> FuRom, check the output of dmesg -- see if you have any spurious messages in there
[19:46] <Starnestommy> david123: in ubuntu and most other linux distributions
[19:46] <Victor```> and the switch is acpi=off right
[19:46] <david123> Starnestommy: so i firestarter just lets me configure it?
[19:46] <asmo[B]> dyek: when I sudo apt-get install lsb it installs all of the dependencies with it...
[19:46] <Starnestommy> david123: essentially, yes
[19:46] <sachi> need help for sound
[19:47] <anirudh0> asmo[B], thats wat its supposed to do :)
[19:47] <yjwong> Victor```, I'm sure there's a F8 key or something allowing you to add boot switches? I forgot what was the key.
[19:47] <sachi> i dont hear anything
[19:47] <Victor```> but is the flag acpi=off?
[19:47] <asmo[B]> anirudh0: I know, his problem was that it was not installing lsb-core
[19:47] <david123> Starnestommy: the reason for all of this is ff3 has become a huge mem hog from 50mb to 150 mb w/ one window open?
[19:47] <erUSUL> Victor```: yes
[19:47] <Victor```> thanks
[19:47] <RonLut> Why when I try to play network game (one of ubuntu games) it just not responding?
[19:47] <Jason2gs> I'll go through the installation steps right now. ATM, it's on the "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives" page. At 0%.
[19:48] <Jason2gs> (This is concerning the installation problem I'm having.)
[19:48] <anirudh0> david123, that does not mean a virus..and you say you have been on linux for a yr :0
[19:48] <anirudh0> david123, check your extensions
[19:48] <sachi> any help for my sound
[19:48] <[fields]> how do I get more desktop workspaces?  I used to have 4 a long time ago, somehow I set it to 2 at sometime, and now I'm stuck with 2 workspaces... I would like 6.
[19:48] <FuRom> ﻿unop, what does spurious mean? Also, isn't dmesg supposed to be timestamped? I got a few things in it, but no time stamps.
[19:49] <raheem> right mouse click on the workspace swithcer ... preferences .. set it to 4
[19:49] <david123> anirudh0 I know but my sys has only 300 mb of ram i'm knew to all of this and know about the extensions the slow down happened very recently
[19:49] <anirudh0> [fields], metacity or compiz?
[19:49] <asmo[B]> dyek: try doing sudo apt-get remove lsb && sudo apt-get autoremove then try installing the lsb package again...
[19:49] <ASULutzy> [fields]: Right click in the bottom right workspace switcher and change preferences
[19:49] <[fields]> easy enough, thank you raheem, ASULutzy
[19:49] <yjwong> david123, do take note that Memory Usage is a very tricky thing on Linux, the ones shown in System Monitor might not be the actual usage (:
[19:49] <nutzer> hallo
[19:49] <unop> FuRom, i mean messages that are repeated almost endlessly -- and no, dmesg is not timestamped, atleast not in terms of human-readable times
[19:49] <sachi> raheem sellam allekum
[19:49] <david123> yjwong i can feel the slowdown?
[19:50] <anirudh0> ASULutzy, nice..i used gcon-editor...any way to get virtual vertical workspaces(as in compiz)?
[19:50] <dyek> Thanks asmo. unop: Are LSB packages hosted outside of the "central" repositories? How users know to enable which repositories? Thanks!
[19:50] <david123> anyone i'm saying i'm good just want this prob solved
[19:50] <FuRom> ﻿unop, oh, nothing repeated in it.
[19:50] <nutzer> habe problemme wer kann hekfen
[19:50] <icqnumber> !grub
[19:50] <wasob> Hey
[19:50] <Jason2gs> At 80% it's saying 'loading module 'ide-floppy' for 'linux ide floppy'". i don't have a floppy drive, but I'm guess that's OK, because I'll be able to disable it later, right?
[19:50] <nick_riviera> nutzer, ich habe keine Gesschwister
[19:50] <legend2440> !ati > me
[19:50] <yjwong> david123, if it's really insufficient RAM, you might have seen problems with "trashing" (well yeah, when you use Firefox, the hard disk activity lights remain lighted consistently)
[19:50] <unop> FuRom, ok, well, just open up a tail like i showed you, hopefully on the next lockup, you should see some messages that might indicate what might be wrong
[19:50] <wasob> I have a question................How much most linux apps are not as nice visually as XMMS is?
[19:51] <nutzer> hey
[19:51] <nick_riviera> nutzer, :)
[19:51] <asmo[B]> dyek: I just enable all the repositories :)
[19:51] <ASULutzy> anirudh0: I'm not sure what you mean by vertical, but if you mean more rows, sure. You can set say number of workspaces to 6, and then number of rows to 2, and then you'd have 2 rows of 3 workspaces ;)
[19:51] <FuRom> ﻿unop, so far I've not iced up again. I really appreciate the help.
[19:51] <nutzer> he leute ich habe ein groses problem
[19:52] <unop> dyek, I don't use gnome -- but i am kinda sure that the repositories are managed in the software sources/properties dialog in the system menu
[19:52] <yjwong> david123, the slow down might be attributed to many other factors too, such as increased amount of background programs (what have you installed?)
[19:52] <Chikubu> anyone help out getting fwbuilder going
[19:52] <dyek> asmo: I enabled all repositories inside "software sources" admin utility too.
[19:52] <david123> yjwong; just everything and default
[19:52] <unop> dyek, once you have enabled all the repos .. run this.  sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install lsb lsb-core
[19:52] <chasa> chasa
[19:52] <david123> yjwong i tried the xubuntu desktop but uninstalled it
[19:52] <gverig> anybody knows wtf is libcstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and how I can get it for herron?
[19:52] <yjwong> But I would recommend a RAM upgrade, since RAM is cheap nowadays =] In fact the recommended system requirements state that you'll need 512 MB RAM
[19:53] <david123> yjwong didn't take all the progs w/ it though
[19:53] <tehboriz> hey guys any way to make ubuntu use all 4gb of ram?
[19:53] <david123> yjwong so i kept abi word processor
[19:53] <sachi> any of you can help me to fix my problem wiyh sound pls
[19:53] <mftom> first and foremost, i'm a noob w/ ubuntu.  i was just wondering if someone can tell me how to remove the AWN mac-style menu and change it back to the default look?
[19:53] <raheem> tehboriz: i guess u should use the 64bit one
[19:53] <unop> gverig, is that the right file name -- i can't seem to find any package that contains that file
[19:53] <unop> ?
[19:53] <yjwong> Ah, I'm not very sure about these performance issues, because I don't know how 384 MB RAM feels with Ubuntu.
[19:54] <david123> yjwong and by the way the hdd never lights up if you mean the meter that's under system monitor
[19:54] <Jason2gs> tehboriz, The RAM limit has to do with it being 32 bit. It's hardware, not software.
[19:54] <gverig> unop: that's my problem- I have a package that *depends* on that file
[19:54] <tehboriz> ohh
[19:54] <sachi> no help today
[19:54] <tehboriz> im using 32bit so i lose
[19:54] <dyek> asmo, unop: Hmm..."aptitude install lsb lsb-core" does work, but "apt-get install lsb" didn't.
[19:54] <raheem> mftom .. i don't understand.. can't u disable it from loading
[19:54] <Jason2gs> Meh. You still have bragging rights :p
[19:54] <gverig> unop: on 7.10 it used to be in some glibc compatibility package
[19:54] <yjwong> david123, nope, it isn't the one in the System Monitor. The lights are on your computer's casing, physically.
[19:55] <mftom> raheem: i want my awn look to be the way it was when i first installed ubuntu
[19:55] <mftom> right now it looks like mac
[19:55] <david123> yjwong i have an unbeleiveable old pc
[19:55] <david123> yjwong pentium 3
[19:55] <david123> yjwong so that's old no? w/ that kind of processor?
[19:55] <raheem> AWN .. is an addon.. if you disable it, you will get the default ubuntu thing
[19:55] <unop> gverig, try installing the build-essential package, it might do the trick
[19:55] <gverig> unop: libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 ... but it's no longer in the main repo. And I am not sure I want to get it from 7.04 repo
[19:55] <yjwong> Ah, maybe it's the processor usage? Check whether CPU usage is at 100% when Firefox is used?
[19:55] <Jason2gs> Okay, it just got off the hardware detection screen, and on to the blue screen with the text area at the bottom. Pretty soon it'll say that it coudln't detect a CD-ROM drive. I'll get the exact error message, though.
[19:55] <yjwong> That's rather old I would say =]
[19:55] <mftom> ok thanks raheem...can you please tell me how to disable it?
[19:56] <raheem> k .. System > Preferences > Sessions .. disable it from there, if it is there
[19:56] <ir8> Hello all i have a question if you dont mind
[19:56] <raheem> ir8: just ask :)
[19:56] <FuRom> unop, I think it's safe to say, it's firefox...... it completely froze. I couldn't even alt+ctrl+f1 to the terminal.
[19:56] <ir8> I am attempting todo a dist-upgrade how do i use apitiude to NOT upgrade anything todo the kernel
[19:56] <david123> yjwong yes it usually is near 100% always
[19:56] <raheem> !question | ir8
[19:57] <ir8> aptitude hold kern*
[19:57] <irc-tester> Is there a way to force a usb serial device to always use a particular /dev/ttyUSBx?  for example, /dev/ttyUSB3 - instead of always using the lowest available port?
[19:57] <yjwong> david123, ah, then I guess it's a processor bottleneck. I guess it can't be helped unless you upgrade? Maybe there are other solutions, I don't know.
[19:57] <ir8> i want to dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04
[19:57] <ir8> there shouldnt be any issues.
[19:57] <unop> gverig, are you sure that is the exact filename, are you sure you have it spelt right?
[19:57] <raheem> !upgrade
[19:58] <sobersabre> hi guys. I have something weird with wireless network iface connection to NetworkManagerDispatcher applet.
[19:58] <raheem> that's the last word
[19:58] <mftom> raheem i disabled it and its still there
[19:58] <david123> yjwong right i'll be back after i run someother virus checker and win the lottery! thanks everyone for your help i do appreciate it and will say if it was a false alarm
[19:58] <mftom> LOL
[19:58] <drewber2> Hello.  I am having trouble getting mod_auth_db to work.  What is the difference between auth_db and auth_dmb.  I tried linking authz_dbm.load in my mods-enabled folder from my mods_available folder, but when I restart apache I get
[19:58] <drewber2> Invalid command 'AuthDBMUserFile'
[19:58] <tehboriz> anybody know how to do dual screen on nvidia 7300go? I've tried everything
[19:58] <ir8> i cant upgrade the kernel at all. due to driver conficts with drivers that are
[19:58] <ir8> this is for server.
[19:58] <saftaplan> hi, I'm using mythbuntu and i get no sound at all with, for example, `aplay /dev/urandom`... however I get no errors, it just pretends to play... my sound card worked in gentoo with no problems and is also recognised in mythbuntu. any ideas what I should do?
[19:58] <ir8> none desktop
[19:58] <yjwong> david123, sure, no problem (: It's 3 AM here for me, I'll have to go AFK for sleep.
[19:59] <raheem> it won't be there next time u restart ;)
[19:59] <sobersabre> when I am using network-admin, and edit properties of the wifi link, drop-down menu displays the list of the wifi interfaces.
[19:59] <ir8> raheem: this is for server.
[19:59] <unop> ir8, you can dist-upgrade and always revert back to an older kernel you know that works
[19:59] <sobersabre> it automatically scans the networks, and shows the scan result.
[19:59] <gverig> unop: not 100% sure... here is the message: ﻿ACServer: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[19:59] <david123> yjwong jeez yeah get to bed
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> saftaplan Mythtv has a support channel
[19:59] <ir8> i use the megasr driver and there is a issue.
[19:59] <raheem> ir8: i am not sure abt the upgrade thing without upgrading the kernel
[19:59] <sobersabre> but, when I am clicking on the dispatcher applet in the panel, I don't get the list of the network.
[19:59] <asmo[B]> is there a player better than amarok for mp3s?
[19:59] <Jason2gs> No common DC-ROM drive was detected. You may need to load additional CD-ROM drivers froma  driver floppy. If you have such a floppy available now, put it in the drive, and continue. Otherwise, you will be given the option to manually select CD-ROM modules. Load the CD-ROM drivers form a driver floppy?
[19:59] <raheem> pls wait for someone to come-up
[19:59] <Jason2gs> I don't have a floppy drive, or I would.
[20:00] <sachi> guys can someone please help me with my sound problem
[20:00] <mftom> raheem thanks let me try it
[20:00] <unop> gverig, packages.ubuntu.com has no information on that file -- are you installing a 3rd party package?
[20:00] <sobersabre> does anybody know what is wrong with my configuration ?
[20:00] <asmo[B]> amarok does not seem to like how big my collection is...
[20:00] <Vlet> asmo[B]: there are many. what's good to you might not be to others
[20:00] <sobersabre> asmo[B]: and HOW big is it ?
[20:00] <ir8> raheem: what whould this cause.
[20:00] <asmo[B]> >300gb
[20:00] <gverig> unop: yup, I am installing eclipse (java IDE) profiling tools. They depend on that .so
[20:00] <sachi> does anyone see what i type
[20:00] <saftaplan> ﻿Jack_Sparrow: but the problem is not mythtv... the sound works nowhere. is there a mythbuntu support channel? cause #mythbuntu doesn't exist AFAIK :S
[20:01] <sobersabre> asmo[B]: and which db backend are you using ?
[20:01] <gverig> unop: and instructions are "find RPM and install it..."
[20:01] <anirudh0> asmo[B], use a different backend
[20:01] <asmo[B]> mysql
[20:01] <Jason2gs> sachi, Right click on the volume control button and hit "Open Volume Control"
[20:01] <anirudh0> asmo[B], use postgresql instead of sqllite
[20:01] <david123> sachi yeah everyone does
[20:01] <pgib> how do I figure out who the MOTU developer is for a particular package?  I am a developer and we are releasing an alpha. I want to give the maintainer a chance to update the package. Any ideas??  Thanks!
[20:01] <unop> gverig, not sure -- maybe you could check the forums to see how other people have gotten it installed on debian/ubuntu
[20:01] <sachi> ok
[20:01] <Jason2gs> Just to make sure your speakers aren't muted :p
[20:01] <anirudh0> asmo[B], sqlite has problems around 30-35,000 songs
[20:01] <asmo[B]> anirudh0: ok I'll give postgresql a try
[20:01] <sachi> cuz noone is answering
[20:01] <sachi> now is ok
[20:01] <Jason2gs> This is just a guess, though.
[20:01] <the-herby> what is the command to enable or disable a daemon?
[20:01] <Otacon22> the "alternative " version of ubuntu install uses the OEM installation?
[20:02] <anirudh0> the-herby, /etc/init.d/<name> start/stop/restart
[20:02] <unop> the-herby, update-rc.d
[20:02] <sachi> i oppened volume control and its max
[20:02] <raheem> !patience | sachi
[20:02] <unop> anirudh0, that does not enable or disable a service tho
[20:02] <the-herby> unop, thanks that was what i was looking for.
[20:02] <anirudh0> unop, if service is in init.d,then yes..else no
[20:03] <ir8> raheem: is there anyway todo this without the kernel upgrade?
[20:03] <pgib> anyways -  do I just need to contact a random MOTU developer?
[20:03] <Jason2gs> Perhaps File > Changes device
[20:03] <firestorm> on an ASA with a private external interface, how can I set a NAT so that it will be contactable via a public IP address?
[20:03] <unop> anirudh0, nope, you can stop a service that way, but when you change runlevels, it will be back up -- quite obviously because it is not disabled
[20:03] <Jason2gs> Again, just a guess. I'm just shooting out random attempted fixes.
[20:04] <the-herby> anirudh0, where can the service be started or disabled if it is not in the init.d?
[20:04] <gverig> unop: thanks... I found a transcript from this channel- guy was asking for this lib for some VPN client- without much luck either... Oh well, will look
[20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> saftaplan Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative           they have a web page that may be helpful
[20:04] <bobito> hey guys, last night the power went out in my area, and upon reboot ubuntu had forgotten its display driver and monitor settings.  I've been playing with the forums online and the tools in the administration option, but i still can't get resolution above 640x480.  help?
[20:04] <unop> the-herby, a service has to exist in /etc/init.d
[20:04] <ir8> better yet how can place the aptitude hold on the kernal headers  and  all other kernel stuff
[20:04] <bazhang> #ubuntu-mythtv saftaplan
[20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang thanks
[20:04] <pgib> is there an ubuntu developer channel?
[20:05] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow, my pleasure :)
[20:05] <anirudh0> unop, ahh..yes
[20:05] <Pici> pgib: There are a few, what are you looking for?
[20:05] <anirudh0> pgib, ubuntu-1
[20:05] <saftaplan> oh thanks ﻿bazhang :) I'm sorry, I got lost in the forest of ubuntu support channels :P
[20:05] <the-herby> unop, i also thought so.. so i wanted to get a more specific answer from him :)
[20:05] <therealnanotube> pgib: #ubuntu-devel
[20:05] <bazhang> np
[20:05] <pgib> thanks
[20:05] <raheem> bobito: did u try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:06] <sobersabre> asmo[B]: I have used pgsql with >100GB and had no problems...
[20:06] <mftom> raheem, i disabled awn and restarted and now there is no bottom bar. when i minimize somethign it disapears
[20:06] <bobito> raheem: I just tried, no luck
[20:07] <yjwong> mftom, you have to add the bottom panel back manually.
[20:07] <sobersabre> guys, I am trying to paste my sources.list into a pastebin.com
[20:07] <sobersabre> It says:
[20:07] <sobersabre> Sorry, your post tripped our spam filter - let us know if you think this could be improved
[20:07] <asmo[B]> sobersabre: there's a big difference in size there though
[20:07] <yjwong> Right click the existing panel, then click "Add Panel", then customize it back to the default configuration.
[20:07] <stringCheese> anyone know what other alternatives are there to virtualbox?
[20:07] <anirudh0> sobersabre, how big is your post?
[20:07] <sobersabre> asmo[B]: 3-4 times bigger is not a "BIG" difference.
[20:07] <raheem> stringCheese: vmwareserver

[20:08] <stringCheese> thanks guys
[20:08] <sobersabre> no, regular, and backports.
[20:08] <anirudh0> sobersabre, no..iirc that is not a problem
[20:08] <raheem> stringCheese: vmware-server is free .. qemu is free, u may try xen also

[20:16] <rahee1> anirudh0: yeah .. was trying to help janne-5011
[20:16] <anirudh0> iuso, what did you change?
[20:16] <genii> djaquay: Yes
[20:16] <FuRom> WOOT!
[20:16]  * FuRom just found out he was under attack.
[20:17] <MacGyverNL> I've got a Tecra 8200 here (128 MB Ram, unknow CPU (identifies itself as "GenuineIntel, x86 family 6 stepping 8 model 10))
[20:17] <anirudh0> djaquay, dunno...but from experience security.ubuntu and medibuntu take longer to reply..atleast from outside the us
[20:17] <alex___> wols_ someone told me that might be a old way to do this.  Is there another method?
[20:17] <MacGyverNL> Is it wise to install Ubuntu on that?
[20:17] <djaquay> genii: so just try again in an hour or 3?
[20:17] <djaquay> anirudh0: hmmm, i'm in the u.s...
[20:17] <MacGyverNL> Or should I use a lighter distribution?
[20:17] <therealnanotube> MacGyverNL: try a livecd, see what happens. :)
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> MacGyverNL That isnt much ram
[20:18] <anirudh0> MacGyverNL, yes..but you are better off with fluxubuntu or elbuntu with that RAM
[20:18] <asmo[B]> how do I reload postgresql?
[20:18] <therealnanotube> MacGyverNL: but yea, 128mb ram seems like a job for a lighter distro. maybe xubuntu, or maybe even puppy or dsl.
[20:18] <anirudh0> asmo[B], /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
[20:18] <codazoda> Hi.  I rebooted my machine, something locked up during the power-down, so I had to shut it off and power back on.  Now, I have no "Add/Remove Programs" menu item and no Symnatic in the menu.  I'm missing a few other things too (not sure what, but the menu is shorter).  Idea's?
[20:18] <genii> djaquay: That server is in Auckland, New Zealand. So often it is patchy at best
[20:18] <asmo[B]> thanks anirudh0
[20:18] <anirudh0> asmo[B], check the name ..not sure if postgresql or postgresqld
[20:19] <genii> djaquay: Yes, try again later
[20:19] <MacGyverNL> Problem is this laptop is for a non-computer adept. The choice here is to leave 98 on it (which is out of date, and person in question has no experience whatsoever with it afaik) or a linux distro which is "easily" manageable.
[20:19] <anirudh0> genii, only one server for security.ubuntu?
[20:19] <djaquay> genii: ok, thanks. any webpage i can/should check for its status?
[20:19] <MacGyverNL> So I think puppy and dsl are out of that league.
[20:19] <sobersabre> Jack_Sparrow: I am getting the same error.
[20:20] <sobersabre> I've tried to change archive to us.archive
[20:20] <anirudh0> MacGyverNL, there are special lightweight desktop environs for ubuntu..google for lxde
[20:20] <sobersabre> apt-get update
[20:20] <sobersabre> and then dist-upgrade
[20:20] <wols_> MacGyverNL: no it's not
[20:20] <anirudh0> MacGyverNL, gnome will work patchily at best
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sobersabre did you change one or all
[20:20] <sobersabre> and then tried to install the packege individually
[20:20] <mftom> <yjwong: how do i add the bottom panel back on?
[20:20] <sobersabre> all except the hardy-updates.
[20:20] <wols_> MacGyverNL: xubuntu maybe. for anything else, not enough RAM
[20:20] <rahee2> MacGyverNL: may be xubuntu would do ...
[20:20] <therealnanotube> MacGyverNL: well, try xubuntu then.
[20:20] <codazoda> If I check "add/remove programs" in the menu editor, it unchecks itself.
[20:20] <anirudh0> mftom, rightclick>add new panel
[20:20] <yjwong> mftom, right click an existing panel, click "Add Panel"
[20:21] <iuso> anirudh0: i didnt change anything. i just logged in in safe mode, logged out, then logged in in normal mode. but now after a reboot i still can't log in in normal mode. i'm in safe mode again, and i can paste Xorg.0.log and gdm.log from the failed log in attempt
[20:21] <wols_> MacGyverNL: I run a debian sid with windowmaker on mine and ffox just fine (Tecra8100, 128MB). VLC can play video properly, mplayer stutters (PII 266)
[20:21] <yjwong> If the panel doesn't appear at the bottom, drag it down.
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> sobersabre does that kernel show up in synaptic now?
[20:21] <ghostknife> What is the file I edit for keyboard shortcuts again?
[20:21] <janne-5011> any here actually have a huawei E620 3G card and got it to work with latest ubuntu?
[20:21] <djaquay> very odd.  i can get to security.ubuntu.com very fast, very easy via firefox, but not at all via apt-get
[20:21] <anirudh0> wols_, ahh...but you are certainly not a noob :P
[20:21] <MacGyverNL> I'll see if I can dig up some more RAM in old equipment.
[20:21] <yjwong> ghostknife, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts?
[20:21] <gordonjcp> MacGyverNL: with a name like that...
[20:22] <ghostknife> yjwong: no, custom shortcuts
[20:22] <MacGyverNL> I know, gordonjcp, I know...
[20:22] <asmo[B]> when I'm adding a user to my Postgresql, how do I add a password for that user?
[20:22] <anirudh0> MacGyverNL, enlightenment is perfect..except its not as obvious in usage as gnome
[20:22] <ghostknife> yjwong: those are limited to a small gnome actionset
[20:22] <wols_> anirudh0: sure but the hardware is sorta OK for the OS even if ffox renders a bit slow
[20:22] <yjwong> ghostknife, ah, you mean the ones used in Compiz?
[20:22] <sobersabre> Jack_Sparrow: when running apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
[20:22] <sobersabre> I am getting:
[20:22] <MacGyverNL> anirudh0: Which is why, in this case, I really want to use gnome.
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> janne-5011 Try looking in the supported hardware page while waiting for someone with that same exact piece of hardware to show up
[20:22] <sobersabre> virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-19-generic - virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
[20:22] <sobersabre> virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic - virtualbox-ose module for linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
[20:22] <yjwong> janne-5011, I'm not using Huawei E620 but E220. I'm not sure they are compatible with each other.
[20:22] <legend2440> sobersabre: in synaptic open    settings>repositories>updates tab and put check in boxes for  hardy-security and hardy-updates then click reload button
[20:23] <ghostknife> What is the command for config editor?
[20:23] <janne-5011> ok Jack Sparrow.
[20:23] <ghostknife> oh nm, found it
[20:23] <anirudh0> wols_, you could possibily survive on 64 mb ram..but my mom's comp needs atleast 512 mb :)
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware > janne-5011
[20:23] <sobersabre> legend2440: what does your action do in /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[20:23] <iuso> anirudh0: here's the Xorg.0.log. i didn't paste gdm.log since it's basically the same. http://rafb.net/p/3v2ERh78.html
[20:23] <Udall> what could this possibly mean : W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
[20:23] <Udall> this is when performing apt-get update
[20:24] <anirudh0> iuso, see line 727/728
[20:24] <legend2440> sobersabre: it adds hardy-security and hardy-updates repos  hardy-updates is where that linux image is at
[20:24] <anirudh0> !radeon
[20:24] <mftom> yjwong: there is no where to add a panel
[20:24] <mftom> yjwong: what do i click on?? it says "add to panel"
[20:24] <sobersabre> legend2440: I had "hardy-updates" signed with "-"
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !info linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
[20:25] <legend2440> sobersabre: make it a check
[20:25] <sobersabre> legend2440: but I DID add this all manually.
[20:25] <anirudh0> mftom, 4th entry from top
[20:25] <yjwong> mftom, nope, it's "New Panel", sorry if I had made a mistake.
[20:25] <sobersabre> very weird!!!!!!
[20:25] <Drk_Guy> I need loki_setup, is there a binary for AMD64 anywhere?
[20:25] <giacomo_carissim> how do i change the color of the fonts on the desktop
[20:25] <Drk_Guy> !loki
[20:25] <sobersabre> legend2440: can you look at my original sources.list:
[20:25] <yjwong> janne-5011, you can use your Huawei E620 with the Vodafone Mobile Connect Driver for Linux, it is compatible with E220
[20:25] <Drk_Guy> !loki_setup
[20:25] <sobersabre> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23349/
[20:25] <ghostknife> yjwong: was looking for: gconf-editor, then /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/.....
[20:25] <Red1> anybody knows how to install java so that I could use firefox with it? I had done it before but I dont know why i cant seem to find the guide when i searched for it
[20:25] <giacomo_carissim> i've got a darker background and can't read any of the files
[20:26] <yjwong> janne-5011, for more information and downloads, check out: https://forge.betavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/
[20:26] <giacomo_carissim> Red1: did you try installing from the add/remove window
[20:26] <thiebaude> red1:install it by using medibuntu
[20:26] <yjwong> ghostknife, Ah, I'm not sure about that then.
[20:26] <giacomo_carissim> there's a java plugin you can install with java itself
[20:26] <giacomo_carissim> its another package on the list
[20:26] <anirudh0> Red1, use sun-java rather than others..seems to work more consistently
[20:26] <iuso> anirudh0: that's probably not a problem. i had the ati driver working after initial install, but after upgrading the packages and rebooting i get the gray screen
[20:26] <giacomo_carissim> oh
[20:26] <janne-5011> yjowong thanks but I checked that it dont works
[20:27] <giacomo_carissim> can anyone tell me how to change the font color for the packages on my desktop?
[20:27] <iuso> anirudh0: i tried to use the fglrx driver, but it froze the system before gdm
[20:27] <anirudh0> iuso, well...i have the same card..and an upgrade screwed up compiz for me..so you are probably right about that
[20:27] <sobersabre> legend2440: I've found the "bug" of my repositories.
[20:27] <yjwong> janne-5011, use the 1.99.17 version, the 2.0beta3 version does not work for me too.
[20:27] <iuso> anirudh0: :(
[20:27] <anirudh0> iuso, this is a thinkpad?
[20:27] <Red1> is it what you all mean download from the package manager?
[20:27] <mftom> yjwong: where do i go to find "new panel"? sorry im such a noob
[20:27] <sobersabre> It had no "restricted" section in the list! :)
[20:27] <janne-5011> i think its a dead projcet with the e620 but i just gave it a last shot here to see if im lucky
[20:27] <iuso> anirudh0: no, some random desktop machine
[20:27] <sobersabre> thanks, one more gremlin less.
[20:27] <legend2440> sobersabre: you have hardy-updates in there twice
[20:27] <ir8> how do i disble kernel upgrades?
[20:27] <yjwong> janne-5011, the project isn't dead (: It's active.
[20:27] <sobersabre> legend2440: no, it's different sections.
[20:28] <janne-5011> yjwong with e620?
[20:28] <anirudh0> Red1, sun-java6-plugin
[20:28] <sobersabre> I meat "YES, BUT.."
[20:28] <sobersabre> s/meat/meant/
[20:28] <janne-5011> and telia...
[20:28] <giacomo_carissim> how can i change the font color for items on my desktop?
[20:28] <ir8> anyone?
[20:28] <legend2440> sobersabre: ok right
[20:28] <yjwong> The janne-5011, I'm using E220. But from the description, the program supports "Huawei E620, Huawei E220 and Option GlobeTrotter 3G+ EMEA"
[20:28] <anirudh0> giacomo_carissim, not for desktop..globally change from the theme menu
[20:28] <yjwong> mftom, right click on an existing panel, then "New Panel"
[20:29] <anirudh0> giacomo_carissim, more sensible to change background :)
[20:29] <giacomo_carissim> ir8, you can search google to see how to 'roll back' to another kernel
[20:29] <janne-5011> yjwong ok i try it then thanks=)
[20:29] <giacomo_carissim> but i like the dark background!
[20:29] <yjwong> janne-5011, no problem (:
[20:29] <mftom> yjwong: sorry but where do i find "existing panel"
[20:29] <mftom> lol
[20:29] <Red1> anirudh0: Ok iĺl try...
[20:29] <giacomo_carissim> hahaha, and it doesnt make sense that the font color wouldn't change to suit the background
[20:30] <anirudh0> giacomo_carissim, theme>customize>colors>text
[20:30] <tehboriz> hey guys my sound stopped working for no reason, and no it's not muted
[20:30] <tehboriz> happeend to me a few times before
[20:30] <yjwong> mftom, LOL, it's the panel that contains your Time/Date, icons, and the Applications/Places/System menu.
[20:30] <mftom> yjwong: there is no panel to click on...when i disabled the avant, it got rid of everything
[20:30] <anirudh0> tehboriz, is firefox running?
[20:30] <tehboriz> yep
[20:30] <mftom> yjwong: i see! thanks
[20:30] <anirudh0> tehboriz, firefox with gmail can do that
[20:30] <tehboriz> i dont have gmail on
[20:31] <anirudh0> tehboriz, kill firefox..then use sound..and see if it works
[20:31] <tehboriz> i use evolution
[20:31] <giacomo_carissim> anirudh0: it says i can't change the colors
[20:31] <anirudh0> giacomo_carissim, sorry then
[20:31] <tehboriz> if i kill firefox then i kill chatzilla! :(
[20:31] <giacomo_carissim> ok, ill go look to see if i can do this another way
[20:31] <anirudh0> tehboriz, you could use xchat
[20:31] <giacomo_carissim> bye bye guys
[20:31] <yjwong> tehboriz, if you do have Flash Player 9 enabled without libflashsupport in Hardy, there is no PulseAudio support
[20:31] <tehboriz> yeeah but i don't like xchat
[20:31] <david123> all right everyone i said i might have a virus in ubuntu well i'm running avast for linux and i'm pretty sure clamtk came up w/ a false positive!
[20:32] <yjwong> Which means, when Firefox is open with YouTube, etc., you won't be able to use other sound applications
[20:32] <david123> yjwong it wasn't a virus! i think
[20:32] <yjwong> david123, I guess so :o
[20:32] <david123> yjwong lol i'm happy now
[20:32] <anirudh0> yjwong, wish flash guys would test their linux versions more thoroughly
[20:32] <david123> yjwong cya
[20:33] <tehboriz> brb gonna try what you told me...
[20:33] <rahee2> avast's positive could also mean that it is a windows based virus :)
[20:33] <yjwong> anirudh0, yeah, and I wonder why Flash Player 9 is still using OSS -_-
[20:33] <rahee2> it checks for both, i believe
[20:33] <yjwong> they should at least use ALSA so that PulseAudio is able to re-direct output automatically
[20:34] <mftom> yjwong: ok i have a panel there but now when i minimize something it doesnt go down there
[20:34] <Gigs> I think I got everything working with pulse audio, thanks guys.
[20:34] <mftom> yjwong: its totally blank
[20:34]  * anirudh0 leaving now..cya next weekend
[20:34] <yjwong> mftom, ah, you'll need to add something to the panel. Let me check.
[20:35] <boriz> =im back
[20:35] <boriz> test
[20:35] <asmo[B]> i'm using mysql on ubuntu 8.04 and need to know where or what I can use to edit my databases/users
[20:36] <tehboriz> hey guys
[20:36] <tehboriz> didn't work
[20:36] <tehboriz> with firefox off my sound still didn't work
[20:36] <echazan> ﻿hey, I screwed up my linux install, and need help.  ﻿can I change the balance of the two partitions without wiping one of them out?  how?
[20:36] <tehboriz> maybe steam has something to do with it?
[20:36] <yjwong> mftom, alright, you'll need to add everything back to the panel manually.
[20:36] <KRaZy_WaKa> i have my system dual-booted with ubuntu hardy 8.04 on primary hard drive installed first and installed windows xp home 2nd on secondary hard drive, have both OS's working and bootable but i have to go to my bios and change the boot order to switch between OS's, i did the grub reinstall after installing windows as stated on the dual-boot website, added a windows stanza to my grub menu.lst but my system freezes when i try to boo
[20:37] <tehboriz> boo!
[20:37] <yjwong> mftom, right click the newly-added panel, click "Add to Panel"
[20:37] <theFATMAN> how do i format a thumb drive? i dont see an option in the context menu, so i'm guessing i gotta do it in the terminal?
[20:37] <mftom> yjwong: how do i go about doing that?
[20:38] <yjwong> Then drag the following: Show Desktop, Separator, Window List, Workspace Switcher, then Trash to the new panel
[20:38] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: just use mkfs
[20:38] <yjwong> tehboriz, steam? You're using wine?
[20:39] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: i'm not familiar with mkfs
[20:39] <tehboriz> yes sir, yjwong
[20:39] <erisco> what command can I use to get that authenticate window in order to authenticate as an admin?
[20:39] <erisco> I want to build a simple script that needs admin access
[20:39] <aelinmor> ciao everyone
[20:39] <Starnestommy> erisco: gksudo?
[20:39] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: can you elaborate plz?
[20:39] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: type man mkfs in a terminal :)
[20:39] <yjwong> tehboriz, AFAIK Wine doesn't support PulseAudio
[20:39] <yjwong> There might be solutions, though.
[20:39] <erisco> Starnestommy, that sounds like it may be it. lemme try
[20:39] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: doh! lol, thankz
[20:39] <tehboriz> aw jeez this o/s is full of problems :(
[20:39] <theFATMAN> brb
[20:39] <tehboriz> i thought i could leave microsoft for good
[20:40] <tehboriz> i went to ubuntu cause i had a really bad virus
[20:40] <tehboriz> and i needed something fresh
[20:40] <Michel_> buy notebook of dell
[20:40] <Michel_> huaiuhaiuahiauhauhiuha
[20:40] <tehboriz> this dosen't work well with any of my hardware
[20:40] <tehboriz> although everything is "supported" cept my graphics card
[20:41] <Hans> buy notebook of dell
[20:41] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: If say for example your usb drive was /dev/sdd, then you would want to I guess first use fdisk, so sudo fdisk /dev/sdd, then create a primary partition of type FAT32, once you do that, you'd do mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdd1
[20:41] <European-African> When I am playing music, start to load a video on firefox, then stop playing music to listen to the video, it has no sound! Is this usual or is there a fix?
[20:41] <tehboriz> i think i'm good with my toshiba qosmio g35 av600
[20:41] <Uplink> whats the command to take a screenshot?
[20:42] <yjwong> European-African, there is a fix (:
[20:42] <jimus> European-African >> i have the same issue
[20:42] <tehboriz> me tooo!
[20:42] <tehboriz> someone halp
[20:42] <aelinmor> @uplink: try the "print" key" *g*
[20:42] <legend2440> Uplink: try the printscreen key on keyboard
[20:42] <European-African> ﻿yjwong: what is it?
[20:42] <Uplink> ty :]
[20:42] <ASULutzy> Uplink: You can just push printscreen to capture the whole desktop, or alt+printscreen to capture just the active window
[20:42] <yjwong> The issue is with Adobe Flash Player. You can either 1) install libflashsupport package, or 2) Install Flash Player 10 from Adobe Labs
[20:42] <grobda24> tehboriz .. "full of problems" is such a strong phrase :/
[20:42] <Uplink> I need timed screenshot
[20:42] <yjwong> Option 2 is recommended
[20:43] <yjwong> Flash Player 10 is beta, though.
[20:43] <European-African> ﻿yjwong: yes, thank you!
[20:43] <tehboriz> grobda24: i actually spent a few hours trying to make my video card work
[20:43] <KRaZy_WaKa> how can i find out what my windows HDD address is? i.e. (hd0,0) i am running a dual boot system and need it for the grub boot loader, dont know how to extract that info with ubuntu tried fdisk -l in a terminal but it just spit me back out to user@computer prompt
[20:43] <theFATMAN> !pastebin
[20:43] <kerm|t> how do i upgrade my kernel?
[20:43] <yjwong> Before installing Flash Player 10 Beta, remember to remove the "flashplugin-nonfree" and "libflashsupport" packages to avoid conflicts.
[20:43] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: Did you use wubi?
[20:44] <aelinmor> @all: is here anyone who has experience with mediawiki and issues with image-uploading ? please query me
[20:44] <dunpeal> #Requiem@irc.Fansub-IRC.org
[20:44] <esac> is there a way i can bind a keyboard shortcut ( ctrl+shift+esc ) to bring up system monitor ?
[20:44] <tehboriz> grobda24: im not joking... and then i used a billion tutorials to get dual screen which were unsuccessful
[20:44] <yjwong> tehboriz, that's usual with graphics cards. Everything works on my laptop out of the box, except the graphics card.
[20:44] <European-African> yjwong: ok thanks
[20:44] <yjwong> And yeah, dual-screen doesn't work for me too, but cloning does work.
[20:44] <erisco> how can I run gksudo with a command that has interfering options?
[20:44] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23351/
[20:44] <erisco> gksudo and iptables both have -A options
[20:44] <legend2440> Uplink:  open applications>accessories>take screenshot   set delay time in seconds
[20:44] <yjwong> European-African, no probem (:
[20:44] <KRaZy_WaKa> no i am duall booting with 2 separate hard drives, primary HDD is linux secondary HDD is wondows, and have a third HDD NTFS volume for storag on a PCI IDE card
[20:45] <grobda24> !nvidia | tehboriz
[20:45] <tehboriz> yjwong: are there developers working on the video card issue? I'm okay with going back to linux when it's figured out
[20:45] <indio> Hi.
[20:45] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: first you need to do sudo fdisk -l to find what the device is called, paste me that output
[20:45] <ASULutzy> tehboriz: What video card do you have?
[20:45] <theFATMAN> k
[20:45] <erisco> when I run    gksudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner joel -j ACCEPT
[20:45] <indio> How do I know to what package a file belongs to?
[20:45] <KRaZy_WaKa> ah maybe that would help me ASULutzy i didnt sudo the fdisk -l
[20:45] <erisco> it should theoretically work, but gksudo thinks -A belongs to it
[20:45] <erisco> so what do I do?
[20:46] <Carpe|Diem> I'm having trouble with my x-server...I just get a mouse and wallpaper...Does anyone know what to do? I'm in shell irssi
[20:46] <yjwong> tehboriz, the developers can't work with the video card drivers because those are closed-source. Thus the best way (that would benefit all of us), is to pester your video card manufacturer to open up the source code for the drivers.
[20:46] <tehboriz> ubottu: i've been on this site many times before it hasn't helped me alot
[20:46] <to0x> erisco: gksudo "iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner joel -j ACCEPT" ?
[20:46] <yjwong> Alternatively, if you have an older graphics card, you can already use the open-source drivers, which have better support generally =D
[20:46] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23352/
[20:46] <javimansilla> I have my mouse scroll wheel scrolling backwards... Do you know if it's possible to configure that behaviour ?
[20:47] <tehboriz> javimansilla: use ur mouse upside down
[20:47]  * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server.
[20:47] <mftom> yjwong: thanks for the help...it works!
[20:47] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: huh? you typed exactly this: sudo fdisk -l and got that as an output?
[20:47] <erisco> to0x, thanks
[20:47] <javimansilla> tehboriz: hehe, no thanks
[20:47] <yjwong|sleep> mftom, no problem (: But for now, it's time to sleep for me
[20:47] <tehboriz> javimansilla: i was joking
[20:47] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: yeah
[20:47] <javimansilla> I know :)
[20:47] <to0x> you're welcome :)
[20:48] <Carpe|Diem> is there anyone here with knowledge of X-server?
[20:48] <tehboriz> how to yell at nvidia to make my video card open source?
[20:48] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: see, the reason i need to format is, there is no data on the disk, its 1 GB, but it says there is only 165MB's of available memory
[20:48] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: I'm confused about the output of your sudo fdisk -l
[20:49] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: I've never seen that before
[20:49] <ashu> hi
[20:49] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: 8\
[20:49] <duende_> hey guys, i have Ubuntu 6.06.2 server edition installed on my server, with kernel 2.6.15-52-server.. and i am in need of a good working PCI-X Sata Controller, now many forums/blogs refer to the 2.6.22 kernel for things like Sata Controllers to work, can you please advice me?
[20:49] <javimansilla> seriously, is not any option for configurating such a thing (the wheel scroll)
[20:49] <KRaZy_WaKa> what would sdb1 be written as in (hd#,#) format?
[20:49] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: Not to be rude, but you definitely typed sudo fdisk -l (that's a lowercase L)
[20:49] <ashu> is there anyone know about opera sound enable
[20:49] <theFATMAN> ASULutzy: for sure, mate
[20:50] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: (hd1,0)
[20:50] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: I've got no clue then, sorry
[20:50] <theFATMAN> ok
[20:50] <KRaZy_WaKa> thank you ASULutzy, gonna try to re-edit the boot loader menu.lst, reboot and see if i can boot into windows if not i shall return lol
[20:51] <theFATMAN> KRaZy_WaKa: hey whats up? i havent done the 'ubluntu' images, but i put some stuff up on gnome-look I think you'd like =)
[20:51] <KRaZy_WaKa> kewl man i'll have to check it out, how do i get top gnome-look?
[20:51] <goblin_> hello all....Just installed Ubuntu 8.04 last week. Just installed xchat. I quess it works. My 1st question for now....is there support for wireless ps2 keyboard/mouse. I have been serching for info but cannot find any.
[20:51] <KRaZy_WaKa> *to
[20:52] <theFATMAN> KRaZy_WaKa: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/mycontent.php
[20:52] <jimcooncat> goblin_: mine at home just works (tm)
[20:52] <ASULutzy> theFATMAN: I tried googling that error, and there are only two pages that even list that... Try posting on the forums, cause it's definitely pretty obscure
[20:53] <Carpe|Diem> is there anyone here with knowledge of X-server!!
[20:53] <Carpe|Diem> :)
[20:53] <ASULutzy> !ask | Carpe|Diem
[20:53] <KRaZy_WaKa> theFATMAN:  ok will bookmark it and check it out a little later, trying to get my boot loader to read and boot into windows (running dual-boot now)
[20:53] <Carpe|Diem> ok
[20:53] <Carpe|Diem> I'm having trouble with my x-server...I just get a mouse and wallpaper...Does anyone know what to do? I'm in shell irssi
[20:53] <Carpe|Diem> :)
[20:53] <Theo_> hello
[20:53] <erisco> for some reason I cannot see my other ubuntu computer in the network window. I can ping it though
[20:53] <arjunku>  :) hello ashu
[20:53] <ASULutzy> erisco: type smbtree in a terminal and see if it's there
[20:53] <goblin_> jimcooncat> I didn't have it connected when I installed ubuntu....can't find info for modules to install.
[20:53] <theFATMAN> KRaZy_WaKa: ok, i think i sent you the wrong link, just search for 'theFATMAN' lol, cya, i gotta blaze!
[20:54] <KRaZy_WaKa> l;ater man
[20:54] <arjunku> whisper ashu hello
[20:54] <tehboriz> bie
[20:54] <duende_> arjunku: seems like packet loss eh? hahahah
[20:54] <jimcooncat> goblin_: don't know. I'd try connecting, then if it didn't work automatically, rebooting.
[20:55] <Dezine> I can't login to the default gnome session, when I try to login it just goes to the black terminal window and back to the login. I can only log in through failsafe. I tried resetting the gnome settings but no go. Any ideas?
[20:55] <erisco> ASULutzy, negative. the computer that I cannot see is able to see everyone else
[20:55] <ASULutzy> Dezine: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:56] <Theo_> I have connected to my isp with dial-up (when i lift up my phone i hear weird sounds, and it disconnects the dial-up). When I try pining google.com or opening a page in my browser it does not work. What is the problem and how do i solve it?
[20:56] <goblin_> jimcooncat> did that already....the only thing I can think to do is reinstall ubuntu with the wireless Keyboard/mouse connected this time. i'm fairly new to this.
[20:56] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: can I use that too?
[20:56] <nickrud> Dezine, after a failed login attempt, check the contents of ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log (read them from ctl-alt-f1, ctl-alt-f2 to get back to gui)
[20:56] <dmsuperman_> goblin_, that usually won't do anything, that's a windows method of fixning things
[20:56] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Could try it? ;)
[20:56] <Carpe|Diem> ok:)
[20:56] <erisco> ASULutzy, the pain is that I am trying to transfer files over to the other computer... I am trying to setup a shared folder
[20:56] <tehboriz> guiz i got the sound working again you just have to close WINE
[20:57] <ASULutzy> Dezine, Carpe|Diem: as nickrud said, the errors get logged to those two places, pastebin'ing those could be helpful
[20:57] <erisco> ASULutzy, the share is working but I cannot see the other computer =\
[20:57] <tehboriz> someome write that down in the wiki or something... major breakthrough
[20:57] <ASULutzy> erisco: What if you type in the ip by hand? ie hit places -> connect to server, and fill in the stuff manually there
[20:57] <duende_> anyone here have experience with pci-x sata controllers to get it to work in ubuntu 6.06 lts ?
[20:58] <erisco> ASULutzy, what would it count as?  a windows share?
[20:58] <simi> Help, i mangaed to distroy m my video setting and now i have a 640x480 resolution and reconfigure xserver is not working in hardy, how can i reset the settings?
[20:58] <erUSUL> duende_: if there is a driver for the card/chip it should "just work" (tm)
[20:58] <goblin_> dmsuperman   Okay, just don't know where to go from here. Does anyone have any idea about wireless ps2 keyboard/mouse support in ubuntu 8.04?
[20:58] <tehboriz> simi use ENVYng
[20:58] <tehboriz> but what do i know i'm a noob at this too
[20:58] <nickrud> simi, are the resolutions ok at the login screen, but not the desktop?
[20:58] <smick> Now that I've had multiple auto updates on ubuntu, can I clean up this lenghtier grub list, or should I keep them there?
[20:58] <Varox-DT> hey guys, i have a strange problem ... i can hear my voice out of the speakers, but i am not able to record my voice or use the microphone for skype. can anyone help me?
[20:59] <ASULutzy> erisco: Yea, I suppose... When I mount shared network folders I use the terminal. sudo smbmount //the.ip.of.target/theShareName /media/share -o username=YourUserName
[20:59] <nickrud> smick, you should remove any kernels you don't want using synaptic, the grub list will be updated automatically
[20:59] <simi> at login is the same 640x480
[20:59] <ASULutzy> erisco: You may have to do sudo apt-get install smbmount first
[20:59] <smick> nickrund: so it's keeping old kernels
[20:59] <ASULutzy> erisco: And of course the directory would need to exist, so sudo mkdir /media/share
[20:59] <erUSUL> smick: uninstall the kernels you do not use.
[20:59] <onelivv> Varox-DT: Look for a capture option in your mixer
[20:59] <nickrud> smick, yes, old kernels are not removed automatically
[20:59] <MacGyverNL> The CPU in said laptop is a Pentium 3 667 MHz.
[20:59] <nickrud> smick, Just In Case ;)
[20:59] <duende_> erUSUL: hmm, ok i did find a compatible module for the card i want to use, the module is called "sata_mv", i have put the module in /etc/modules to make it autoload, will that just do the trick ?
[20:59] <smick> nickrud: ok, I'll look up how to do that.  thanks!
[21:00] <tehboriz> in nvidia X server settigns i get the following error when i apply my settings: "The XRandR X extension was not found.  This extension must be supported by the X server and enabled for display configuration settings to be dynamically applicable."
[21:00] <MacGyverNL> Combined with 128MB ram, guess Xubuntu is too heavy as well?
[21:00] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: The command returned a warning: Overwriting previously-costumized configuration
[21:00] <Carpe|Diem> and stops
[21:00] <Carpe|Diem> :s
[21:00] <nickrud> smick, ctl-f will search in synaptic, keep at least the most recent and one that worked properly (as best you know)
[21:00] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: And it still won
[21:00] <ASULutzy> 't load Gnome?
[21:00] <erUSUL> duende_: there is no need to put the name of the module on /etc/modules it should load automatically but it wont hurt either
[21:00] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: let me try
[21:00] <Carpe|Diem> :)
[21:01] <tehboriz> what's a fast way to check my current resolution
[21:01] <Jester45> MacGyverNL: no that is just fine you will need swap but it will run, you might want to replace some things to make it run faster but xubuntu will run on that system
[21:01] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Check the log files in /home/$USER/.xsession-errors and /var/log/xorg.0.log if it doesn't work
[21:01] <duende_> erUSUL: do u have experience with Adaptec 1420SA cards?
[21:01] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: ok, it didn't work...i still only have wallpaper and mouse after restarting x ...
[21:01] <Varox-DT> onelivv: thanks alot
[21:01] <erUSUL> duende_: no; sorry
[21:02] <nickrud> tehboriz,  xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
[21:02] <Varox-DT> onelivv: that was very easy :)
[21:02] <onelivv> Varox-DT: Yeah, I answer all the easy ones ;-)
[21:02] <tehboriz> thanks Nickrud
[21:02] <onelivv> Varox-DT: Frees up the pros
[21:02] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Maybe reinstall Gnome? (You're using Ubuntu and Gnome right? Not like xubuntu or kubuntu?_
[21:02] <tehboriz> awwwww no way my resolution is wrong!
[21:02] <Varox-DT> onelivv: but the easy ones are the best ones ;)
[21:03] <simi> tehboriz:  ENVYng?  what is the package name? or is not in the repositories?
[21:03] <Dezine> Ok so I restarted and it let me in.. not sure how I fixed it but I think resetting gnome did it
[21:03] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with gnome, yeah=)
[21:03] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: How can I reinstall gnome?
[21:03] <tehboriz> how do i fix my resolution?
[21:03] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Check those logs first
[21:03] <Carpe|Diem> ok...
[21:03] <nickrud> !envyng | simi
[21:03] <codecowboy>  hi. to install my wifi driver, I have to use /sbin/insmod. where can i add this to the boot routine?
[21:03] <SniZ> hi, when i upgrade and reboot my ubuntu, my pidgin eat all cpu, wtf?
[21:04] <tehboriz> how to i change my resolution? When i go to the thing in system i get "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.  Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available."
[21:04] <posr> SniZ,  buy new cpu
[21:04] <lanuser> codecowboy /etc/init.d/rc.local is a possibity
[21:04] <ASULutzy> SniZ: Use finch ;)
[21:04] <nickrud> tehboriz, using nvidia?  sudo nvidia-settings
[21:04] <afallenhope> how can I get my USB mouse function?
[21:04] <SniZ> posr, i have 2.8 p4
[21:04] <lanuser> codecowboy or add it to /etc/modules ?
[21:04] <tehboriz> nickrud i'm using nvidia
[21:04] <magnetron> codecowboy: add it to /etc/modules
[21:04] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: Usually just plug it in
[21:04] <afallenhope> do I have to modprobe something?
[21:04] <codecowboy> lanuser: thanks. tried /etc/modules
[21:04] <posr> SniZ,  pigin eat all cpu seems bad cpu
[21:05] <posr> lol
[21:05] <afallenhope> ASULutzy, I know but I hibernated so now it doesn't work
[21:05] <afallenhope> lol.
[21:05] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: So reboot?
[21:05] <tehboriz> nickrud i already have nvidia settings
[21:05] <ASULutzy> Or unplug it
[21:05] <lanuser> codecowboy: in /etc/modules just add the module name, not the "insmod xxxxx" command itself
[21:05] <afallenhope> ugh.
[21:05] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: and plug it back in
[21:05] <nickrud> tehboriz, have you used it to change resolutions?
[21:05] <SniZ> i donno why! may be some wrong with gtk or something?
[21:05] <codecowboy> lanuser: yeah, thats what i did
[21:05] <tehboriz> nickrud: when i apply settings in there i get "The XRandR X extension was not found.  This extension must be supported by the X server and enabled for display configuration settings to be dynamically applicable."
[21:05] <codecowboy> lanuser: it has a ko extension. i also omitted that
[21:06] <simi> does anyone know where the lines in xorg.conf that configured the video are now?
[21:06] <afallenhope> there has to be something I can just modprobe -r and modprobe
[21:06] <lanuser> codecowboy then put the whole command in /etc/init.d/rc.local , it's the equivilant of an autoexec.bat file
[21:06] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: Maybe, but unplugging a mouse and plugging it back in is probably easier
[21:06] <fg3> How can I list installed pkges from the cmd line?
[21:06] <H__> simi can you rephrase the question ?
[21:06] <lanuser> fg3 dpkg -l
[21:06] <fg3> thx
[21:06] <afallenhope>  ASULutzy I did.
[21:07] <codecowboy> lanuser: thanks will try. to bring the card up manually, i have to bring the card up with ifconfig ra0 up. it requires sudo.
[21:07] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: I guess you could try like, sudo modprobe -r usbhid, but I'm not 100% sure that's what you want to do ;)
[21:07] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: still no luck with the bootloader still hanging when i select windows, it goes to black screen with "Starting up ... " in white letters and just sits there i have to ctrl+alt+del to restart my computer.... and i have to change the boot sequence in my bios to boot into windows
[21:07] <tyberion> any of you guys use any widgets to bring rss feeds to the desktop?
[21:07] <Chikubu> im trying firestarter, and im unable to get internet sharing set, i can ping the machines, can't ping yahoo.com but can ping yahoo's ip, whats up with the dns?
[21:08] <lanuser> codecowboy rc.local runs as root during startup, I used to throw tons of misc stuff in there if I couldn't figure out a more elegant way to do them
[21:08] <simi> before 8.04 in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf i can configure my video, now that section is missing, just a configured device there
[21:08] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: there are very very much lines in the log files
[21:08] <simi> where xorg gets the configuration now if not from xorg.conf
[21:08] <simi> ?
[21:08] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: You could just keep guessing at it, just push 'e' at the boot menu and keep trying (hdX,0)
[21:08] <nickrud> tehboriz, strange, try running xrandr  by itself on a terminal
[21:08] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: I was errors about memory curroption, failed widgets, boxed stuff
[21:08] <Carpe|Diem> :s
[21:08] <dmsuperman_> simi, add it
[21:09] <Freeaqingme> I want to install ipfwadm, anyone knows how/where to get it?
[21:09] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: What are the exact errors? Use a pastebin to give them
[21:09] <ASULutzy> !paste | Carpe|Diem
[21:09] <DRebellion> !info ipfwadm | Freeaqingme
[21:09] <DRebellion> hmm
[21:09] <H__> simi : ah, the newer xorg might create these on the fly for your video card when it boots up; so it's no longer always needed to specify them. But you still can if you  want to
[21:09] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: a pastebin? I only have tty1-6...how can I copy/paste from vi to irssi?
[21:09] <lanuser> simi: create a new xorg using "Xorg -configure"
[21:09] <codecowboy> lanuser: should it be in the do_start() function or at the end of the file?
[21:09] <Freeaqingme> DRebellion, do you know of any alternative then? Or should I go with sources?
[21:09] <dmsuperman_> ASULutzy, use lynx to open pastebin.com
[21:09] <simi> dmsuperman_: it would be easy to edit because i do not rememer exactly what i have to place there
[21:10] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Heh, you could try using lynx
[21:10] <DRebellion> Carpe|Diem, save to file, then in irssi,  /exec -o echo filename
[21:10] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: ok...
[21:10] <safiyyah> gigs do u have opera or ktorrent running
[21:10] <lanuser> codecowboy I'd just go way to the absolute end of the file and add the lines there, be sure to include full paths to everything
[21:10] <DRebellion> Carpe|Diem, save to file, then in irssi,  /exec -o cat filename
[21:10] <Gigs> what?
[21:10] <H__> simi : search for the 'Driver' line in Section "Device", then type man 'drivername'
[21:10] <DRebellion> sorry, got the last bit wrong ;)
[21:10] <Carpe|Diem> DRebellion: the files has so many lines that vi didn't output them all and ignored the rest:s
[21:10] <tehboriz> Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". RandR extension missing  what does this mean?
[21:11] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: You could do something simple like cat /those/log/files > somefile.txt
[21:11] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: i tried hd0,0 hd 1,0 hd0,1 hd 1,1 all to no avail, i don't think it would be anything else, i changed the boot order to install windows to my slave drive because i installed windows after ubuntu, could that be a possible problem?
[21:11] <wols_> tehboriz: that a lib which should be there isn't
[21:11] <DRebellion> !pastebinit | Carpe|Diem
[21:11] <DRebellion> !info pastebinit | ca
[21:11] <DRebellion> !info pastebinit | Carpe|Diem
[21:11] <wols_> tehboriz: what ubuntu is this?
[21:11] <tehboriz> wols_ how do i fix it
[21:11] <tehboriz> the latest one from the site
[21:11] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: Installing Windows after Ubuntu is always tricky. I don't have that much experience with it, but the grub factoid supposedly has a great howto, don't know if that's what you were following or not
[21:11] <ASULutzy> !grub | KRaZy_WaKa
[21:11] <wols_> by installing X properly
[21:11] <DRebellion> Carpe|Diem, just use that ^^^^
[21:12] <jpds1> /quit
[21:12] <tehboriz> wols_: what do i do? i'm mossing something?
[21:12] <Carpe|Diem> ok
[21:12] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy, DRebellion: I'm trying:)
[21:12] <wols_> tehboriz: install xorg
[21:13] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: is there something like a shell ftp client?
[21:13] <tehboriz> what's that wols_?
[21:13] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: ...ftp?
[21:13] <KRaZy_WaKa> yeah i've read that and that is where i got the info to get grub back but it didnt automaticallyt detect windows so i had to add a windows stanza to the menu.lst which i did and i've tried hd0,0 0,1 1,0 and 1,1 in the windows stanza but still nothing
[21:13] <zdn> any one know why my sound won't work after updating
[21:13] <DRebellion> Carpe|Diem, use the 'ftp' command
[21:13] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: to upload my log file to a ftp server?
[21:13] <H__> Carpe|Diem you mean command line ? try ncftp3
[21:13] <tehboriz> i do sudo apt-get xorg
[21:13] <Carpe|Diem> oh
[21:13] <Carpe|Diem> ftp command
[21:13] <Carpe|Diem> :d
[21:13] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: ftp.
[21:13] <FloodBot1> Carpe|Diem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:13] <erisco> for some reason when I login to an account (gnome session) on my other computer all I get is a white textbox that has the text cursor when I hover over it, but I cannot type in it
[21:14] <erisco> there is no desktop or anything
[21:14] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: lol, but the pastebinit package seems to work great. I'd just sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[21:14] <tehboriz> wols_ i do sudo apt-get xorg and i get an error
[21:14] <erisco> I cannot find anything similar on google... the key words are awkward
[21:14] <erisco> anyone else know of this issue?
[21:14] <erisco> something happened... it was working 5 minutes ago
[21:14] <lanuser> Why does openbsd-ssh pause so long on Ubuntu when I login to it?  It doesn't do this on Debian...
[21:15] <tehboriz> how to i get xorg
[21:15] <ASULutzy> sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit -i /home/$USER/.xsession-errors && pastebinit -i /var/log/xorg.0.log
[21:15] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy i even saved that webpage so i could copy and paste the lines to make sure i didnt typo, just changed the hd location accordingly
[21:15] <angus> which is better, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[21:15] <Daenyth|Work> Does anyone here have a recommendation for a compatible all in one copy/scan/fax/printer?
[21:15] <Magicdead> hum i have a problem, when i disable compiz, kopete windows in the taskbar don't flash anymore (with compiz in awn it works fine)
[21:15] <wols_> !printing
[21:15] <wols_> !sane
[21:15] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: ok, i'll try the pastebin...but i wonder what it will do
[21:15] <wols_> Daenyth|Work: check there
[21:15] <blumm> angus: depends if you prefer gnome or kde :)
[21:15] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: Hmmm, but you can still boot from Windows? what does your sudo fdisk -l say again?
[21:15] <lanuser> angus do you like Gnome or KDE?
[21:15] <Daenyth|Work> wols_: thanks
[21:15] <KRaZy_WaKa> angus: ubuntu is lighter more no nonsense and kubuntu is prettier but heavier
[21:15] <Mortel> Hi, can anyone help me with installing ATI drivers?  I get X server: unable to detect.
[21:16] <angus> i don't know, i was thinking about trying kubuntu
[21:16] <erisco> I have no idea what is going on. it is only one user that is having these problems
[21:16] <DRebellion> angus, you can do: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop to try it out
[21:16] <erisco> I can login to the failsafe terminal
[21:16] <erisco> but I cannot login to gnome, failsafe or not
[21:16] <lanuser> angus I'm a big fan of KDE, but it was a bit less stable for me on the last Kubuntu release
[21:16] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: yeah i can still boot into windows but i have to change my boot sequence, how do i pastebin? i will pastebin the result of fdisk -l
[21:16] <erisco> failsafe gnome is failing! AAAHHHH!
[21:16] <DRebellion> erisco, just delete that user then
[21:16] <lanuser> angus: you can always install KDE on Ubuntu
[21:16] <angus> i don't want it to mess up my drivers when i install
[21:17] <erisco> DRebellion, but I need that user =\
[21:17] <angus> it took me forever to get the ati drivers to work!
[21:17] <DRebellion> angus, it won't mess up your drivers
[21:17] <DRebellion> erisco, why?
[21:17] <angus> no?
[21:17] <user_> erisco: does the user have file permissions in its own home directory? enough file space? just ideas
[21:17] <erisco> DRebellion, so, what, just remake it
[21:17] <angus> how do i switch back and forth?
[21:17] <erisco> user_, file space is fine. the only thing not accessible in the home directory are a couple shell scripts I dropped in there
[21:17] <DRebellion> erisco, course! just save the users /home/ directory and copy it into the new users /home/ directory
[21:17] <DRebellion> angus, you get a menu when you login
[21:18] <angus> ok, that simple huh?
[21:18] <wols_> !PM > tehboriz
[21:18] <angus> thx!
[21:18] <Luchi> holaaa
[21:18] <KRaZy_WaKa> angus: i believe ubuntu (gnome desktop) and kubuntu (KDE desktop) both use all the same info in the background the only difference is how it is presented to you graphically
[21:19] <djzn> guys help, I just plugged a SATAII HDD and is being recognized as "Secondary Master IDE" - What's WRONG?
[21:19] <ASULutzy> !paste | KRaZy_WaKa
[21:19] <tehboriz> o sorrie
[21:19] <fouad> anyone know a good database designer for ubuntu ?!
[21:20] <tehboriz> how to install xorg?
[21:20] <user_> fouad: depends on your needs, but openoffice database might be a good start for novices
[21:20] <fouad> i need something to create UML
[21:21] <fouad> not a database it self
[21:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: i guess this is the URL? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23358/
[21:21] <user_> fouad: openoffice can work with mysql and other databases
[21:21] <lanuser> fouand: go straight to MySQL and get PHPMyAdmin which is a web based front end and will give you html code for stuff
[21:22] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: So sdb1 is definitely your Windows install? Not hde1?
[21:22] <Red1> guys, im having low volume on my ubuntu... all is maxed how can I increase the level more?
[21:22] <KRaZy_WaKa> yeah the 80 GB is my windows drive the 40 GB is my ubuntu drive
[21:23] <fouad> I dont really need the html or whatsoever. I just want to draw the architecture of the database (UML)
[21:23] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: Ok, I guess the next thing to do would be to pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:23] <lanuser> Red1: try aumix or alsamixergui
[21:23] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: pastebin does not seem to works. It gives this error when i use it: File "usr/bin/pastebin", line 204, in <module> ... Indexerror: List index out of range
[21:23] <ASULutzy> fouad: have you tried umbrello? I'm not sure what all you can use it for, but I use it for doing diagrams for programming (sequence diagrams etc)
[21:23] <KRaZy_WaKa> the 122.9 (120GB) is my storage drive on PCI IDE expansion card
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)

[21:27] <asmo[B]> my amarok will not open... I've tried completely removing the package and the config files but it still will not run... :\
[21:28] <evilbug> i need a little help from someone with putting together a computer.
[21:28] <asmo[B]> or open rather, it shows up as a process but never opens
[21:28] <lanuser> evilbug what are you looking to get? and how much do you want to spend?
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> unop Yea, I tend to piece thses togeter from my crib sheet as needed
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks.. I add that one
[21:28] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: I dunno... start spamming grub-install :P or ask advice from someone smarter than me :-/
[21:29] <Red1> lanuser: I using Ubuntu Studio BTW. where can i find them? In the package manager?
[21:29] <Zaelyx> Im going to be getting a dv6700t Special Edition laptop, from hp. I was wondering if Ubuntu will recognize my webcam and mousepad, or if i will have to get drivers or w/e for it
[21:29] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: lol thanx anyways
[21:29] <janne-5011> hell need help connect to internet. I get a modem and ppp0 IP. what Im expected to do now?
[21:29] <user_> asmo[B]: can you start it up from commandline and verbose or debug switches on?
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> evilbug This is the wrong room for hardware support.. but /join #Jack_Sparrow and I will asnwer a couple questions for you
[21:29] <evilbug> lanuser- i'm not in a hurry so money is not a problem. so far what i've come up with is about $470 (aside from cables, power unit, and cooler).
[21:29] <lanuser> evilbug: here the rig I just put together --> http://www.perdignus.com/Parts.html
[21:29] <wols_> evilbug: you are off topic
[21:30] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: how versed are you in dual-booting? lol
[21:30] <evilbug> lanuser- may i pm you?
[21:30] <lanuser> Red1 if they aren't installed just install them from the console "sudo apt-get install aumix", aumix is run from the console too
[21:30] <ASULutzy> +1 for helping KRaZy_WaKa because I failed :P
[21:30] <lanuser> evilbug: sure
[21:30] <wols_> evilbug: there is also ##hardware
[21:30] <plinde> hi all, was wondering if someone could give me a hand with my xorg.conf
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa MOst of my boxes dual boot
[21:30] <asmo[B]> user_: no, I'm not sure how to start amarok from command line...
[21:31] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: nah you got me a little better of an understanding as to why i should have left it the hell alone lol
[21:31] <evilbug> since i'm making an ubuntu machine, i thought #ubuntu would be the best place to ask.
[21:31] <Zaelyx> also, can i run Windows live messenger using WINE
[21:31] <wols_> KRaZy_WaKa: your problem is not a grub or ubuntu one. if it starts to load but then stops since you changed boot order it's a windows problem
[21:31] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: ever dual-booted with ubuntu installed first?
[21:31] <ASULutzy> user_: I would try either amarok or amarokapp
[21:31] <ASULutzy> wols_: But he's still able to boot into windows by changing the boot order of his drives in BIOS
[21:31] <user_> asmo[B]: try amarok or amarokapp
[21:32] <wols_> ASULutzy: yes cause THAT changed boot order is how windows was installed and how it expects it. OT here
[21:32] <wols_> ASULutzy: windows expects to be driver 0x80 and when it isn't: BOOM
[21:33] <wols_> KRaZy_WaKa: from what I remember I think we told you a few days ago that windows wants the primary disk. you didn't listen, now you gotta deal with the windows problems
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa Yes.  but it is much easier the other way round
[21:33] <darth> ?
[21:33] <asmo[B]> user_: no it will not open using terminal
[21:33] <KRaZy_WaKa> wols_ this is true, M$ would screw up a wet dream
[21:33] <ASULutzy> wols_: So... What's the solution if you install Windows after installing Ubuntu? Can't he set it up such that it automatically boots into Windows, then once he has that going use a live-cd to boot, then do a grub-install on the primary disk?
[21:33] <erisco> how do I include hidden directories in commands like "mv" and "chown" ??
[21:33] <darth> i have windows on disks that are not the first disk
[21:33] <erisco> this is driving me nuts
[21:33] <wols_> KRaZy_WaKa: you screwed up. MS is just their normal self
[21:34] <Falling-Inferno> I have a problem. I am trying to install Ubuntu without CD Drive or USB. I just have the ISO is it possible to mount the ISO to like a Virtual CD Drive and boot from it?
[21:34] <blumm> erisco: maybe mv -a ?
[21:34] <wols_> darth: system drive or boot drive?
[21:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: yeah that's what i've read i should have done it the easy way, but what does anyone learn taking the easy way out?
[21:34] <TuniX12> Falling-Inferno: you can run it but not booting
[21:34] <bubaglobalJ> !askthebot Installing Ubunto for the first time on a Macbook OSX 10.5.3 and a variety of other issues
[21:34] <Zaelyx> how about games, can ubuntu run some of my favorite computer games?
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub > KRaZy_WaKa
[21:34] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: could i im you or join your channel for assistance in doing it the hard way?
[21:34] <bubaglobalJ> I knew it :)
[21:35] <darth> i mean i have had windows on computers where it wasnt the first drive seen from bios
[21:35] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: That idea made sense in my head. setup BIOS such that it avoids grub and automatically boots into windows. Once that is going use a live-cd to boot into Ubuntu and then do a grub-install on the primary drive
[21:35] <user_> asmo[B]: any chance to use another player? on hardy f.e. amarok is replaced by default with rythmbox (for good reasons i guess)
[21:35] <erisco> blumm, no such option
[21:35] <TuniX12> Zaelyx: examples?
[21:35] <bubaglobalJ> !askthebot who can I ask for private help?
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa No, I am busy elsewhere
[21:35] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: But I fail a lot, so take it for what it's worth
[21:35] <wols_> darth: I ask one more time: system drive or boot drive?
[21:35] <bubaglobalJ> !askthebot request human being
[21:35] <Zaelyx> oblivion, quake 3, quake wars, etc...
[21:35] <erisco> surely there is a way to include directories that begin with "." in a command
[21:35] <bubaglobalJ> !guidelines
[21:35] <erisco> I mean come on :s
[21:35] <darth> both boot and system drive for windows yes
[21:35] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: I have put the 2 logfiles online with the ftp command:) Have a look if you like: http://users.pandora.be/anarchypower/logfiles
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bubaglobalJ Please stop abusing th bot
[21:35] <wols_> bubaglobalJ: ask the channel. just ask the question. the way you do it it'S wrong. and you won't get answers
[21:35] <Falling-Inferno> TuniX12: What do you mean by that?
[21:35] <erisco> I am trying to chown a directory with hidden directories in it
[21:36] <TuniX12> Falling-Inferno: you cant boot from virtual CD
[21:36] <deejaypip> I am having problems unmounting volumes, like hard drives and USB drives and so on. Is there a way to forcibly (but safely) unmount volumes via terminal?
[21:36] <asmo[B]> user_: ya could definitely try a different player
[21:36] <bubaglobalJ> oh, allright my bad, i haven't used irc in a long time
[21:36] <darth> but it will break next time you install windows... then it will think that the previous c: is now d: or something similar
[21:36] <Falling-Inferno> TuniX12: Why not. I have seen it done I just don't know how they did it.
[21:36] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: You didn't install your nvidia drivers?
[21:36] <wols_> deejaypip: stop the programms accessing them
[21:36] <bubaglobalJ> I have a variety of questions, so that's why i would rather discuss it with someone on a one on one basis
[21:36] <darth> anyway enough windows talk from me
[21:37] <deejaypip> wols_: I did... but they are still not unmounting
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bubaglobalJ for your safety and the benefit of others we ask you keep it in the channel
[21:37] <bubaglobalJ> i have a new macbook os x 10.5.x and I would like to install ubuntu (for the first time) and windows xp
[21:37] <wols_> bubaglobalJ: if you continue to ask meta questions, you will never get answerrs but ignored
[21:37] <TuniX12> Falling-Inferno: you can run the iso from virtual CD but the bios dont boot it!!

[21:37] <Kyle__> hey will the livecd automatically use a persistant home directory thing?
[21:37] <erisco> help :(
[21:37] <erisco> is it possible or isn't it?
[21:37] <blumm> erisco: searching...
[21:37] <bubaglobalJ> thanks Jack_Sparrow and wols_
[21:37] <wols_> erisco: how about reading some manpages?
[21:37] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: already reinstalled grub, it didnt automatically detect windows so i added a windows stanza, it freezes at starting up ... when i try to boot into windows, could you point me at the right topic on that link? i can't seem to figure out which topic i would need to look at on there i have read that page several times and have it saved on my hard drive
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Kyle__ No  you need to f6 and type persistent.. at least in past versions
[21:37] <Optimus55> hey if i install office 2007 with wine in ubuntu, is there a way to make word 2007 the default for opening documents?
[21:38] <bubaglobalJ> i see that they are not very specific, i would like something that caters to me more
[21:38] <bubaglobalJ> one sec
[21:38] <bubaglobalJ> does this apply to a macbook that isn't a pro? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[21:38] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: I has a perfectly working system until I decided to isntall GTK+ software to make my own gui's. Upon reboot I suddenly had only Wallpaper and mouse. I reconfigured my Xserver using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it crashed half way reconfiguring it...So now i'm stuck and you have the logfiles:)
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa reinstalling grub after installing windows would be the closest
[21:38] <erisco> wols_, I checked :s
[21:38] <Falling-Inferno> TuniX12: On Fedora's Forum here is the advice they gave me: As usual you should copy files from this CD to folder on vfat partition and then boot from special diskets or from DOS and run the installer using loadlin
[21:38] <erisco> wols_, which one do I need to read?
[21:38] <Optimus55> anyone?
[21:38] <bubaglobalJ> never mind
[21:38] <Optimus55> hey if i install office 2007 with wine in ubuntu, is there a way to make word 2007 the default for opening documents?
[21:38] <bubaglobalJ> i will idle for a while and when i am ready i will be back
[21:39] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: I think you need to set your BIOS up so that it automatically boots into Windows, and then once you've done that, boot to a live-cd and do a grub-install on the windows drive
[21:39] <Kyle__> haha persistant doesn't work in hardy or intrepid
[21:39] <wols_> bubaglobalJ: hardware of MB is a bit different,most things (especially the hard parts) apply
[21:39] <user_> Optimus55: you might try #wine
[21:39] <bubaglobalJ> thx wols_
[21:39] <Zaelyx> ive got another question. i have photoshop cs2, downloaded (dont have the original CD) can i still install it?
[21:39] <ApiphobicFlora> Sooo... I've got a question, I'm kind of a linux noob, and I'm due for a reformat.  I'm going to try out Ubuntu for a few weeks and see if I like it... but my question is this...
[21:39] <Optimus55> user_: thnx
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Optimus55 /join #winehq  as 2007 wont run under wine..  possibly the new 1.0  but they are the peopke to ask
[21:39] <ASULutzy> Kyle__: I've set up a persistent live-usb in hardy, it's not hard
[21:39] <Zaelyx> ive seen it done in WINE, but not sure if i can do it without having the CD
[21:39] <wols_> !warez | Zaelyx
[21:39] <ApiphobicFlora> If I install off the disc, will it kill my recovery partition (Sony Vaio)?
[21:39] <Zaelyx> ive got the instlaler
[21:39] <bubaglobalJ> i already have a partition for windows, but i want to format that one anyways
[21:39] <Falling-Inferno> TuniX12: How do I make my 4th HD a Vfat Partition?
[21:40] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: it won't if you don't format the whole disk and erase it
[21:40] <Zaelyx> its not pirated
[21:40] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: ok,  i will go through the whole page til one of the walkthroughs fixes it lol
[21:40] <Zaelyx> i bought a key for it
[21:40] <bubaglobalJ> how much space is recommended for ubuntu if you just sort of want to play around with it and keep your data on other partitions or external harddrives?
[21:40] <lanuser> evilbug: that'll be  abetter optical drive for sure
[21:40] <wols_> Zaelyx: then ask adobe for another CD
[21:40] <the-herby> i just read that rant that bill gates made about his own software.. it's so funny..
[21:40] <wols_> Zaelyx: they are happy to send you one
[21:40] <Zaelyx> i can do that?
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa think of all you willlearn :)
[21:40] <Zaelyx> ok
[21:40] <TuniX12> Falling-Inferno: dunno sorry
[21:40] <bubaglobalJ> the-herby: link pls
[21:40] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: that may work i think i changed the boot sequence before i reinstalled grub
[21:40] <wols_> bubaglobalJ: less than 10GB
[21:40] <Falling-Inferno> How do I make my Hard Drive a Vfat partition?
[21:40] <bubaglobalJ> sweet
[21:40] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: Right, and that's what's ticking windows off
 so when I go to use the partition wizard, I just have it format the c:\ partition and it won't touch my recovery partition?
[21:41] <deejaypip> thanks wols_; I did this pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23365/
[21:41] <KRaZy_WaKa> so i'll try reinstalling grub with the windows drive booting first
[21:41] <bubaglobalJ> what about VM Ware fusion?
[21:41] <ASULutzy> KRaZy_WaKa: So get it setup such that you can boot into Windows and Windows only, then live-cd it, then grub-install it, best thing I can think of
[21:41] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: yes
[21:41] <bubaglobalJ> does it support ubuntu
[21:41] <Kenichiro> Wanna Play Fun RPG game ? /q me or join #HypeRPG
[21:41] <ApiphobicFlora> Cool, wish me luck all then.
[21:41] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: but as always: make backups
[21:41] <ASULutzy> !spam | Kenichiro
[21:41] <bubaglobalJ> so i can run ubuntu while running mac with vmware fusion?
[21:41] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: if you don't have backups the lost data is not worth anything
[21:41] <KRaZy_WaKa> Jack_Sparrow: amen to that lol, i should have just installed the 80GB HDD and formatted it as a second storage drive for ubuntu lol
[21:42] <wols_> bubaglobalJ: ask vmware
[21:42] <bubaglobalJ> kk
[21:42] <ApiphobicFlora> Also, how well does Ubuntu recognize devices, like my PsP and my Tmobile wing, will it recognize them easily and let me dump files, or is it going to be a pain?
[21:42] <lovok> how do i write accents in ubuntu 8.04?
[21:42] <deejaypip> apiphobicflora, it really depends. use a live cd to test.
[21:42] <KRaZy_WaKa> really don't need windows and love ubuntu just wanted to say HA! i dual-booted lol
[21:42] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: google it. too much hardware to know it all
[21:42] <the-herby> http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/141821.asp
[21:42] <ApiphobicFlora> I'm dual booting at the moment, but it's time to reformat, and I figured the only way to get into linux was to dive in headfirst.
[21:43] <nikolam> HI Could you please point me to some place where I could find informatio about Using 64-bit client in Virtual machine, on 64-bit System? And where to find 64-bit JeOS or so?
[21:43] <wols_> the-herby: you are OT. please stop this spamming
[21:43] <Kyle__> ApiphobicFlora: did you need drivers for windows?
[21:43] <ApiphobicFlora> Nope.
[21:43] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: What do you suggest?
[21:43] <bubaglobalJ> i gotta go to this critical mass bicycle ride, lol
[21:43] <the-herby> ok i won't post any link again.. what does OT stand for?
[21:43] <wols_> !ot > the-herby
[21:43] <bubaglobalJ> i will be back, thanks for your support @ all
[21:43] <KRaZy_WaKa> ApiphobicFlora Ubuntu is so much better than dealing windows nuances, i can do everything with Ubuntu that i could with windows and thensome
[21:43] <user_> lovok: change your system preferences keyboard layout
[21:43] <Kyle__> ApiphobicFlora: that should work then
[21:43] <TuniX12> !ot
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> the-herby Offtopic
[21:44] <TuniX12> ah
[21:44] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: Making a forum post ;) So you're saying everything worked, then you installed a package and it broke everything? Maybe apt-get purge the package... Maybe reinstall your graphics card driver, you already tried reconfiguring X... What does the failsafe boot do for you
[21:44] <the-herby> sorry
[21:44] <bubaglobalJ> how hard is it to reverse partition of hard drive?
[21:44] <ApiphobicFlora> Cool, thank you all for the help.
[21:44] <Kyle__> KRaZy_WaKa: theres something.... pointless... about explaining to people how good ubuntu is in #ubuntu
[21:44] <genii> bubaglobalJ: Did you format it yet?
[21:44] <KRaZy_WaKa> then again, i'm not a hardcore PC gamer, but any apps that i have tried with WINE workled for me so far
[21:44] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: how do I failsafe boot?
[21:44] <lovok> user_, thanks, i'll explore that
[21:44] <bubaglobalJ> nope, i feel not 'able' enough for the task
[21:44] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: I'm pretty new to linux, you might have noticed:P
[21:45] <bubaglobalJ> I will come back later
[21:45] <KRaZy_WaKa> lol Kyle__ good point, i'm just sharing my experience lol
[21:45] <bubaglobalJ> looking forward to it :D
[21:45] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: When you get to the login screen, one of the "session" options is failsafe Gnome
[21:45] <TuniX12> Carpe|Diem: in the grub menu
[21:45] <genii> bubaglobalJ: I assume by "reverse partition" you want to undo the partitioning you did to it?
[21:45] <genii> Hmm
[21:45] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy, TuniX12 i'll try:)
[21:45] <lanuser> Red1  have any luck yet?
[21:45] <Carpe|Diem> brb
[21:46] <deejaypip> I have a fairly long (sorry) question on pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23365/
[21:46] <RonLut> What's the difference between firefox 3 and Swiftweasel 3 ?
[21:46] <Kyle__> erm
[21:46] <KRaZy_WaKa> ASULutzy: ah well time to reboot, reinstall grub hopefully i get it right this time, will return with the results lol
[21:46] <Kyle__> RonLut: which mozilla product is that?
[21:46] <TuniX12> RonLut: the names
[21:46] <Kyle__> i thought iceweasel was firefox
[21:46] <blumm> erisco: found the solution for mv?
[21:47] <wols_> Kyle__: mostly is
[21:47] <wols_> RonLut: swiftweasel is a network hog
[21:47] <RonLut> Kyle__ and TuniX12: I'm talking about this:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 Which browser should I choose?
[21:47] <spoon_man> RonLut: swiftweasel is iceweasel is firefox
[21:47] <wols_> Kyle__: swiftweasel is a modified firefox
[21:47] <wols_> spoon_man: not true
[21:48] <wols_> RonLut: ignore spoon_man, he is wrong
[21:48] <tyberion> hello...))
[21:48] <tyberion> what command would I use to change a whole folders permissions to a specified user?
[21:48] <TuniX12> wols_: you are wrong
[21:48] <TuniX12> Swiftweasel is an optimized version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser for Linux
[21:48] <wols_> TuniX12: how so?
[21:49] <spoon_man> wols_, well, at least you're not being a dick about it
[21:49] <RonLut> hmm.... so can you explain me which browser should I choose? and why...
[21:49] <wols_> TuniX12: it's as I said a MODIFIED version. and not "optimized". optimization is in the eye of the beholder there. it behaves differently in the network, it's different
[21:49] <brumen> is there a way to run firefox 3.0 on dapper?
[21:50] <TuniX12> wols_: it's based on firefox with CPU optimizations
[21:50] <user_> tyberion: man chown maybe?
[21:50] <wols_> it's modified to browse "faster" with things like parallel downloading, pipelining etc, all things ffox vanilla doesn't do
[21:50] <genii> RonLut: elinks. Just because.
[21:50] <Shtirlitz> guys
[21:50] <wols_> TuniX12: just like ubuntu is "based on" debian?
[21:50] <Shtirlitz> Are there any GUI programs to install VPN?
[21:50] <TuniX12> wols_: yes but is is still Firefox
[21:50] <wols_> hint: ubuntu and debian are vers different
[21:50] <wols_> Shtirlitz: synaptic
[21:51] <TuniX12> wols_: no that's another question
[21:52] <Shtirlitz> Synaptic is a package manager
[21:52] <janne-5011> need help conect to internet. ifconfig says ppp0 got a IP, P-t-P 10.64.64.64, mask 255.255.255.255, resolv.conf is empty. what can I do?
[21:52] <wols_> TuniX12: if you call if firefox mozilla.com will SUE you to defend their trademark. it is NOT firefox
[21:52] <DrLame_> How do I tell ubuntu to get a static IP from my wireless router?
[21:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Guys.. we need to move the discussion to offtopic   TuniX12  et al
[21:52] <Kyle__> Shtirlitz: VPN is a concept, I can think of three different methods of doing them off the top of my head
[21:52] <janne-5011> and ping ggives nothing
[21:52] <spoon_man> wols_, dude, let it go
[21:52] <ASULutzy> Where can I get this fancy swiftweasel?
[21:52] <Carpe|Diem> ASULutzy: The failsafe gnome isn't working either. Just mouse and wallpaper
[21:52] <wols_> Shtirlitz: and that's how you install stuff

[21:52] <TuniX12> that's why they changed the name
[21:52] <Shtirlitz> The only thing I was able to install was OpenVPN
[21:53] <ASULutzy> Carpe|Diem: I don't know, make a forum post or point people to the log files you pastebin'd.
[21:53] <user_> ASULutzy: why do you need it? what does it have what ubuntu doesnt have?
[21:53] <Jester45> DrLame you have to setup a static, but dhcp will give your a dynmic addresss
[21:53] <Shtirlitz> But it works only as a text in console
[21:53] <wols_> TuniX12: STOP IT
[21:53] <Kyle__> Shtirlitz: and what are you trying to connect to?
[21:53] <Carpe|Diem> ok ASULutzy thanks you for you help and time...:)
[21:53] <Kyle__> openvpn? pptp? ipsec?
[21:53] <ApiphobicFlora> MAn, I wish there was a way to make my recovery discs on something other than dvds... like a bootable USB stick.
[21:53] <wols_> janne-5011: you are not connected at all. this is the defaullt dummy ppp IP
[21:53] <wacky_> What's the package that allows printing the "apt-get install PACKAGENAME" when you hit a command in the bash shell that isn't installed ??
[21:53] <wols_> janne-5011: run pppd
[21:53] <TuniX12> wols_: is that an order? wtf
[21:53] <RonLut> If I'll install Swiftweasel  how do I put all my firefox addons. options and etc..?
[21:53] <joaopinto> ApiphobicFlora, can use a tool like partimage and save your image to an USB device
[21:54] <DrLame_> Jester45: Right now it's automatically getting an ip from the router and the internet keeps failing. I want it to constantly get 192.168.0.201.....
[21:54] <wols_> TuniX12: yes. an order by the ops. if I were you I'd follow it. no I'm not an op
[21:54] <ApiphobicFlora> Problem is, it's a wizard that does it automaticaly.

[21:54] <linsux> notplus_M chronosx echinos
[21:54] <ccope> or disable them
[21:54] <tyberion> what command would I use to change a whole folders permissions to a specified user?

[21:55] <genii> bah
[21:55] <phazen> Question: using Ubuntu 6.06, I got a .pdf downloaded and no matter what app I use it keeps asking for a password while its not password protected. Can someone help me with this?
[21:55] <wols_> tyberion: chown
[21:55] <tyberion> wols_: chown <user> <folder> ?
[21:55] <Kyle__> ccope: dont you just need to disable gdm?
[21:55] <wols_> tyberion: man chown
[21:55] <ohrij> it must be password protected
[21:55] <joaopinto> tyberion, on the terminal, man chown, it provides detailed help on the command
[21:55] <Jester45> DrLame_: dont use dhcp and set it manually, you cant request via dhcp a static address unless the dhcp server allready knows your mac address but most hardware routers dont allow you to do that
[21:55] <ASULutzy> Why is swift/iceweasel not available in hardy repositories?
[21:55] <soneil> RonLut: imho I'd stick to firefox, because more people are familiar with it, so you'll find better/wider support
[21:55] <Kyle__> ASULutzy: we're not debian
[21:55] <wols_> ccope: uninstall gtk and xorg-common
[21:55] <ccope> Kyle__: what about the other graphical utilities/how would you recommend disabling gdm?
[21:55] <Shtirlitz> I'm trying to create VPN connection
[21:55] <Lurkinson> ﻿/whois linsux
[21:56] <phazen> It has some protection ohrij, it has a password on that you can't modify it. But not on reading it
[21:56] <ee99ee> I have a package that is wanting to install some software via yum. It only supports CentOS, but the box I have already has ubnutu loaded on it.
[21:56] <TuniX12> phazen: it is password protected
[21:56] <spoon_man> ASULutzy, iceweasel is specific to the debian distro
[21:56] <wols_> ASULutzy: ubuntu follows mozilla.com trademark policy. debian can't
[21:56] <ee99ee> I did apt-get install yum and I see that it is now installed, however when it tries to install anything it fails..
[21:56] <ee99ee> are there yum repos for ubuntu?
[21:56] <ohrij> foxit pdf reader?
[21:56] <wols_> ee99ee: no
[21:56] <ccope> wols_: will that uninstall everything else relating to graphical programs?
[21:56] <wols_> ccope: pretty much
[21:56] <ee99ee> wols_: then why is yum even mantained on a debian distro?
[21:56] <Kyle__> ccope: update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[21:56] <onthefence928> wheer do i find the download and installation instructions for murrina?
[21:56] <Kyle__> what else needs to get removed?
[21:56] <wols_> ee99ee: for stuff like alien
[21:57] <TuniX12> yum in ubuntu??
[21:57] <ee99ee> alien?
[21:57] <wols_> Kyle__: if there is no gtk, there is no more gdm
[21:57] <joaopinto> ee99ee, tecnhically you can setup a yum repository and make packages available from it
[21:57] <ohrij> or maybe the file uses a higher encryption level so you need  an adequate reader
[21:57] <Kyle__> hehe
[21:57] <ee99ee> TuniX12: I know...I know... I have no choice in this case
[21:57] <ASULutzy> I'm well aware of the big fight between mozilla and debian,and I don't want to be offtopic. But someone said that swiftweasel actually performs better than ff3 (as in there's a difference other than the icon, which I thought was the only difference) and so I wanted to try it out. If it is better why is it not available in the repositories? I can get opera from the repositories?
[21:57] <troxor> who bellowed :P
[21:57] <afallenhope> ugh, I installed Internet DJ Streamer for my radio broadcast...  and now my sound doesn't work
[21:57] <ccope> alright, thanks wols_  and Kyle__
[21:57] <phazen> What reader would you purpose ohrij?
[21:57] <wols_> ASULutzy: there is more
[21:57] <ohrij> fosit
[21:57] <ohrij> foxit
[21:57] <phazen> Alright
[21:57] <wols_> ASULutzy: it's not there cause no one packaged it
[21:57] <phazen> ill try it
[21:58] <spoon_man> ASULutzy, i don't know, they might not have submitted it to the Ubuntu repo
[21:58] <wols_> !better > ASULutzy
[21:58] <spoon_man> but you can get the deb package by adding another repo
[21:58] <DrLame_> Jester45: How do I do it manually in ubuntu 8.04. All I can find is turning off roaming mode in the 'manual configuration' section of the network stuff. But, it wouldn't connect to my router when I entered the info...
[21:58] <Jester45> ee99ee: because you can use yum on a debian distro but debian distros dont maintain 2 sets of repos because that would be a silly waste of time. yum is not a repo nor does it need one to work, some people may need it for something like you right now and that is why its included
[21:58] <user_> ASULutzy: no one packaged it so far, because there wasnt too much demand from users probably
[21:58] <wols_> DrLame_: man interfaces
[21:58] <Commie_Jebus> moblock is starting to piss me off
[21:58] <spoon_man> nah, there is a package, the repo is linked on their site
[21:59] <Dezine> Can't get VirtualBox to work.. says the driver isn't install so I try to manually start it and it says * No suitable module for running kernel found.
[21:59] <wols_> !info moblock
[21:59] <wols_> Dezine: are you using the vbox from ubuntu?
[21:59] <Commie_Jebus> its a linux port for pearguarden
[21:59] <Dezine> wols_, yes
[21:59] <user_> Dezine: you run vb from ubuntu repo?
[21:59] <ASULutzy> Dezine: You have to install the module for your kernel
[21:59] <wols_> !vbox
[21:59] <bobstro> i am having problems with (apparently) dbus when launching admin tools. if i run, for example, System->Administration->Users and groups, I get "The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration." if i run "users-admin" at a shell prompt, i get "Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0-/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success"
[21:59] <user_> Dezine: try the debs from vb HQ
[22:00] <ASULutzy> Dezine: which kernel are you using?
[22:00] <Dezine> not sure
[22:00] <ASULutzy> Dezine: uname -r will tell you if you're unsure
[22:00] <Dezine> 2.6.24-17-rt
[22:00] <damita> Holas
[22:00] <phazen> ohrij: Perfect! Thanks a lot man.
[22:00] <Jester45> DrLame_: you have to go to system -> admin -> network tools and configure your device in the drop down list pick your device and click configure. then fill in the ip of your router/your network card ip/ subnet mask and anything else you might need
[22:00] <user_> is vb working out of the box in hardy? it wasnt last time i checked 4 weeks ago
[22:01] <RonLut> If I installed 32 FF on 64 hardy how do I install the flash plugin? synaptic?
[22:01] <ASULutzy> Dezine: You'll need to change kernels, there is no module for that particular kernel as far as I can tell. There's -17 generic, and there's 18-rt
[22:01] <wols_> RonLut: you should use a chroot
[22:01] <Dezine> Ok, how do I do that?
[22:01] <RonLut> wols_: What you mean? :-X
[22:01] <wols_> Dezine: or you compile your own kernel module
[22:01] <wols_> !chroot
[22:02] <ASULutzy> Dezine: What does sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade do?
[22:02] <Jester45> wols_: what about !gnash
[22:02] <wols_> Jester45: what about it?
[22:02] <lanuser> Anyone using Xen in a box with a PVR-150 ?
[22:02] <danbhfive> Dezine: I think the vbox package from the website will compile the modules for you
[22:02] <wols_> I'd rather use nspluginwrapper if I needed 64bit flash
[22:02] <wols_> !anyone > lanuser
[22:02] <Dezine> ASULutzy, it does nothing
[22:02] <user_> danbhfive: yes
[22:02] <DrLame_> Jester45: lol... when I click configure while on my wireless device it tells me 'The interface does not exist'
[22:03] <lanuser> wols_ yeah yeah yeah
[22:03] <ApiphobicFlora> Blech, 45 minutes to burn 2 recovery dvds.
[22:03] <user_> Dezine: i also suggest using the package from vb website. that will work out of the box, ubuntus vb software stack is not good
[22:03] <ASULutzy> Dezine: Odd, I have -18 and -19 kernels available, what repositories do you have enabled in /etc/apt/sources.lst
[22:03] <Jester45> DrLame_	then use iwconfig
[22:03] <wols_> Jester45: no
[22:03] <tyberion> is there any manual on how to put an entry to fstab?
[22:03] <Kyle__> ASULutzy: hardy-updates is the answer to that if hes just got -18
[22:03] <wols_> DrLame_: I told you to use man interfaces to set static IPs
[22:03] <nickrud> !fstab | tyberion
[22:03] <wols_> tyberion: man 5 fstab
[22:03] <RonLut> wols_: That is too difficult for just installing flash on a 32 bit FF, isn't it?
[22:03] <ApiphobicFlora> And the recovery program for some reason decided to change my rez to 800x600.  This is why I'm switching.
[22:03] <Kyle__> wols_: what about the network manager that ubuntu uses?
[22:03] <ASULutzy> Kyle__: He has -17-rt
[22:04] <Jester45> wols_: gnash isnt 64bit? humm then whats the point of having it :)
[22:04] <RonLut> wols_: nevermind, installation installed it already
[22:04] <danbhfive> user_: i think thats true if you are running hordy-proposed.  The module building lags behind kernel updates, but thats what proposed is for...
[22:04] <Kyle__> 2.6.24-18-xen hehe
[22:04] <wols_> Jester45: it is, so?
[22:04] <Jester45> you could use adobe's version... much easier
[22:05] <achandrashekar> Anyone familiar with lokkit??and how i can set it just to handle dns requests?
[22:05] <Dezine> my sources list: http://pastebin.com/m68598e63
[22:05] <user_> danbhfive: cannot follow sorry, i just installed ubuntu and have it upgraded with the update manager. no manual repo source tweaking
[22:05] <onthefence928> does anybody know how to install the murrina engine (related to GTK)
[22:06] <Ademan> onthefence928: install the gtk2.0-engines-murrine  packages
[22:06] <Ademan> package*
[22:08] <onthefence928> ademan, ok i guess it's already installed, but a theme that supposedly uses it isn't working properly.
[22:09] <Ademan> onthefence928: hrm, what's the theme? i wouldn't be surprised if it was a bad theme
[22:09] <ASULutzy> Dezine: I would search for a newer kernel in synaptic, either -18-rt or -19-rt
[22:09] <Ademan> or, it's also possible to use multiple theme engines in a single theme, if you lacked one of them it might break
[22:09] <Dezine> ASULutzy, I'll do that
[22:09] <Dezine> Thanks for all the help
[22:09] <ASULutzy> Dezine: Because for some reason it doesn't look there's an available virtualbox module for -17-rt
[22:09] <onthefence928> cylon eye '72 on gnome-look
[22:11] <Ademan> onthefence928: i'm pretty sure that's a pixbuf theme, i guess it could use murrine as well
[22:11] <onthefence928> the page says "uses the murrina engine"
[22:11] <Ademan> onthefence928: yeah, but it's pretty clearly a pixbuf theme, i'm downloading it right now, one second
[22:12] <onthefence928> k thnx
[22:12] <lgolebio> does any one here uses wi-fi network card  in ubuntu ?
[22:12] <wols_> !wlan | lgolebio
[22:12] <erisco> I need to run gksudo as a different user from the terminal. unfortunately after doing $su <username> gksudo cannot open the display because it doesn't belong to the new user
[22:12] <DrLame> lgolebio: I do, lol
[22:12] <erisco> how can I get around this dilemma?
[22:13] <lgolebio> no no, I don't have problem with my cards
[22:13] <tyberion> what would be the easiest way to have a partition which I can access from both, windows AND linux?
[22:13] <Dezine> In synaptic, more than one version of kernel is installed?
[22:13] <lgolebio> just need to be sure, what speeds can you achieve ?
[22:13] <onthefence928> lgolebio: then state your problem first
[22:13] <danbhfive> erisco: why do you need to run gksudo as a different user?  Don't all roads lead to root?
[22:13] <onthefence928> tyberion: partitioning
[22:14] <lgolebio> I have atheros wlan card, but the max speed of dowloading from LAN is about 1500kB/s
[22:14] <Ademan> onthefence928: so how is it not working? what's it doing?
[22:14] <lgolebio> is it normal ?
[22:15] <user_> Dezine: no only one is installed a time, synaptif just offers a 1 to 1 replacement for a set of kernels
[22:15] <ASULutzy> lgolebio: That's not a bad speed, what kind of wireless is it? g?
[22:16] <Dezine> user_, it shows several versions as installed
[22:16] <djzn> do I need a /boot partition for setup?
[22:16] <onthefence928> Ademan: well the download itself doesn't install correctly, and when i install the re-packaged files (only teh GTK and metacity parts) nothing happens, i can't use the new theme
[22:16] <ASULutzy> djzn: No, you don't need a /boot partition
[22:16] <lgolebio> ASULutzy: you mean G ?
[22:16] <ApiphobicFlora> Ah crap... it failed at like 40%
[22:16] <danbhfive> djzn: I think only for software raid setups
[22:16] <erisco> danbhfive, I need to run it as a different user
[22:16] <tesko> can someone help me, the top and bottom of my screen are like, vibrating and blurry
[22:16] <ASULutzy> lgolebio: As in 802.11g
[22:17] <user_> Dezine: thats not possible. i assume one kernel is broken into subpackages
[22:17] <lgolebio> so you think that this is maximum speed of my card under linux ?
[22:17] <danbhfive> erisco: yeah I got that.  I was asking why, but I can't help you anyway.  nvm
[22:17] <alex___> in my network i have  linux webserver and windows storage sever.  I want to be able to back this up to a linux server.  does anyone know what a good software i can use?
[22:17] <djzn> I am going to boot from a SATA HDD, which is in RAID-Spanning Mode... do I still need the boot partition?
[22:17]  * Zozma_ blinks
[22:17] <Zozma_> someone mentioned my name?
[22:17] <erisco> how can I cause sudo (with an option) to require reauthentication?
[22:18] <Hilikus> where do i specify which modules to load? i forgot
[22:18] <ASULutzy> lgolebio: Well, that's 12 mbps, which isn't that bad... I think the max you can actually feasibly acheive is somewhere like 20 mbps on g
[22:18] <wols_> Hilikus: /etc/modules
[22:18] <Ademan> onthefence928: oh well what you need to do is take from the tarball the Cylon Eye '72 directory (which contains gtk-2.0 and metacity) and copy it into your ~/.themes directory, so that you have, in your themes directory ~/.themes/Cylon Eye '72/gtk-2.0   and ~/.themes/Cylon Eye '72/metacity-1
[22:18] <user_> Dezine: correction. its possible to have different kernels on your harddisk, but the time you have started ubuntu you run only one
[22:18] <ASULutzy> lgolebio: the 54 mbps number is a little bit of fooey ;)
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> erisco Sudo hold for 15 minutes by default, there are ways to make it ask each time or set a time limit
[22:18] <lgolebio> yes I know that
[22:18] <Dezine> should I remove the older ones?
[22:18] <lgolebio> that maximux is about 22Mb
[22:18] <erisco> Jack_Sparrow, I need to have a way to have it ask each time
[22:19] <onthefence928> Ademan: it's just a whited out icon with a big black "?" on it (as seen in my appearence preferences window)
[22:19] <Ademan> can you run a command and paste the results for me?
[22:19] <erisco> Jack_Sparrow, is there not an option for sudo? for gksudo there is -A
[22:19] <ASULutzy> lgolebio: Yea, 22 mbps under absolutely perfect conditions, and you're getting 12 mpbs, which is pretty good... If you need more you could always try 802.11n
[22:19] <Jack_Sparrow> erisco It should only hold for the terminal you have open once you shut it it should reset
[22:19] <Ademan> find ~/.themes
[22:19] <Ademan> and then paste it at http://rafb.net/paste
[22:19] <erisco> Jack_Sparrow, that is not good enough, it must reauthenticate each time
[22:19] <lgolebio> But I remember that in windows I could reach 2700kB/s with this card
[22:19] <lgolebio> so maybe I'm doing something wrong in ubuntu
[22:20] <Jack_Sparrow> erisco there should be a modifier like -a    man sudo will show it
[22:20] <Ademan> cause it works fine here using the install method i described, and i don't have anything special here
[22:20] <Hilikus> where can i see the messages that my system shows while loading, its not in syslog
[22:20] <DrLame> How do I save /etc/network/interfaces in text editor after I alter it? =/
[22:20] <erisco> Jack_Sparrow, -a is for auth_type, which I do not understand
[22:20] <onthefence928> Ademan: where is ~/.themes?
[22:20] <wols_> Hilikus: kern.log
[22:21] <Ademan> ~ is your home directory
[22:21] <Hilikus> wols_ thanks
[22:21] <wols_> DrLame: gksudo gedit it
[22:21] <Ademan> .themes is a hidden directory
[22:21] <ApiphobicFlora> Grr... this is annoyhing... I don't know why that failed, and now I'm paranoid... I need to back up my recovery partition somehow... I don't feel like paying for recovery discs if it screws up...
[22:21] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: how big is the partition?
[22:21] <ApiphobicFlora> 8g.
[22:22] <fluffles> hi all, after updating 7.04 to 8.04 grub does not boot, i seem not to have a /boot/grub/grub.conf file, how can i - at least - boot my windows partition on first partition primary disk?
[22:22] <onthefence928> Ademan: i don't see it anywhere >.>
[22:22] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: tar it up into 2 4GB blocks and burn those files to DVD
[22:22] <wols_> fluffles: you have a /boot/grub/menu.lst however
[22:22] <Vinchenzo28> how do i access the compiz configuration (cube effects)
[22:23] <Flannel> fluffles: you've never had a grub.conf file, you've always had a /boot/grub/menu.lst file, What do you mean "doesn't boot"?
[22:23] <wols_> !ccsm | Vinchenzo28
[22:23] <DrLame> wols_: Thanks. Will a ctrl+alt+backspace refresh the os and tell it to start using the edited /etc/network/interfaces ?
[22:23] <ApiphobicFlora> Is there any way to backup a whole partition, and if so, if my computer completely bricked to bios, is there a way to get that partitino back onto the file system?
[22:23] <Ademan> onthefence928: well it's a hidden file, to see it you need to hit ctrl+h
[22:23] <Ademan> or go to view and choose show hidden files
[22:23] <ApiphobicFlora> I'm in windows xp btw.
[22:23] <wols_> DrLame: no. it will restart X. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will use the new network settings
[22:23] <fluffles> wols_: correct
[22:23] <Jack_Sparrow> erisco http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-483591.html
[22:23] <wols_> ApiphobicFlora: ask ##windows then, not us
[22:23] <connor> could someone help me setup ratpoison?
[22:24] <fluffles> Flannel, i had a grub menu before, now only a prompt, how can i boot my two partitions (one windows, the other linux)
[22:24] <ApiphobicFlora> Sorry.
[22:24] <wols_> connor: install it and you're done
[22:24] <connor> uhh
[22:24] <connor> i need to compile it
[22:24] <Flannel> fluffles: What sort of prompt?
[22:24] <fluffles> Flannel, grub>
[22:24] <connor> there is install-sh?
[22:24] <wols_> fluffles: by entering the commands manually. start with "help"
[22:24] <fluffles> with 4 lines at the top
[22:24] <connor> i forgot what to do with install-sh files
[22:24] <wols_> fluffles: also check for /boot/grub/menu.lst and if it's not there run sudo update-grub
[22:25] <Flannel> fluffles: Do you know which partitions are which?  Also, did you go straight from 7.04 to 8.04?  If you have a liveCD, we can fix it all without worrying about commands.
[22:25] <maccam94> is there a way to disable the wifi light in iwl3945 from hardy-backports?
[22:25] <Ademan> connor: why do you need to compile ratpoison?
[22:25] <fluffles> Wolphie, i have a /boot/grub/menu.lst but its reset to default even though i explicitly said i wanted to keep the local version installed when the updater asked me
[22:25] <fluffles> sorry that was meant for wols_
[22:25] <wols_> !info ratpoison
[22:25] <connor> Ademan: can you give me a link to an installer then?
[22:25] <wols_> Ademan: nothing
[22:25] <wols_> connor: ubottu just did
[22:25] <Flannel> connor: sudo apt-get install ratpoison
[22:25] <Ademan> connor: are you new to ubuntu? all you need to do is sudo apt-get install ratpoison ,  or use synaptic
[22:26] <Ademan> yeah flannel beat me, as usual :-p
[22:26] <connor> it says its installed but it doesn't show up on my session manager
[22:26] <Ademan> through apt-get?
[22:26] <wols_> fluffles: I am not Wolphie and if you had a menu.lst grub would show it and not a prompt
[22:26] <maccam94> connor: well then it needs to be added manually, or started manually
[22:26] <connor> maccam94: hwo?
[22:26] <connor> how*
[22:26] <Flannel> wols_: Assuming stage 1 was looking at the right location
[22:26] <wols_> connor: what ubuntu version?
[22:27] <onthefence928> Ademan: ok i copy and pasted it, should it be a .tar.gz like when i install it using the theme manager?
[22:27] <connor> 8.04 hardy heron
[22:27] <maccam94> i can see a minimalist window manager requiring some hacking to get running
[22:27] <Ademan> no
[22:27] <wols_> Flannel: if stage1 doesn't find stage1.5 you don't get a prompt but a nasty error
[22:27] <Ademan> just a normal directory onthefence928
[22:27] <connor> wols_: any idea?
[22:27] <fluffles> wols_: sorry nick completion error. and yet i can do "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" at the grub prompt, but it does NOT give me a menu like i want and used to be
[22:27] <netcrash> Lost sound on my ubuntu since last upgrade to 8.04 , module is present , any tips ?
[22:27] <wols_> connor: I asked you something
[22:27] <connor> 8.04 hardy heron
[22:27] <Flannel> wols_: Mmm. thats true.
[22:27] <Ademan> netcrash: pulseaudio is borking everything
[22:27] <wols_> connor: xubuntu?
[22:27] <connor> ubuntu
[22:28] <netcrash> Ademan: sugestions ?
[22:28] <djzn> so for a SATA primary drive, /boot is not necessary
[22:28] <wols_> connor: dpkg -l ratpoison
[22:28] <onthefence928> Ademan: ok then still no dice
[22:28] <ASULutzy> djzn: I don't have a /boot partition if that's what you're asking
[22:28] <Ademan> netcrash: i wish i had some, i screwed around with the sound settings in system->preferences->sounds and set it all to pulseaudio, and then i had to change a few apps around to use pulseaudio instead
[22:28] <connor> i got this, is this right?
[22:28] <connor> http://pastebin.org/46612
[22:29] <Ademan> onthefence928: can you run find ~/.themes    in a terminal and copy the output to http://rafb.net/paste   ?
[22:29] <connor> wols_ is this right? http://pastebin.org/46612
[22:30] <gusi> ln -s test source targe "file exsists" <-- thats impossible, every file I try to create a symbolink with complains it already exsists
[22:30] <user_> Ademan: btw there is also pastebinit program in ubuntu.. command1 | pastebinit
[22:30] <DrLame> wols_: I did that command... restarted the computer... and nothing changed
[22:30] <DrLame> lol
[22:30] <erisco> I have been at this for freaking hours... all I want to do is make a script that changes shell user and executes a command
[22:30] <connor> brb seeing if ratpoison works
[22:30] <onthefence928> Ademan: what's teh command to see it?
[22:31] <erisco> I have  "su otherUser *new line* sudo *the command*"
[22:31] <connor> ratpoison wont show up on the session list
[22:31] <connor> >_>
[22:31] <erisco> but when I run the script I get the password prompt, so I enter it, but then the second command doesn't run!
[22:31] <erisco> so I am confused.
[22:31] <bosco> if i have gotten rid of my graphical login and i login via STARTX where is the file that i need to change the # on to tell it what windows manager to load i want to switch windows managers
[22:31] <norty> Problem: My Ubuntu keeps crashing, that is it either locks up (especially happens when the screen saver is on) or the screen goes blank and then logs me out, the version I have is 8.04 and I have installed all proposed and required updates, what is going on and how do I fix it?
[22:31] <bosco> if i have gotten rid of my graphical login and i login via STARTX where is the file that i need to change the # on to tell it what windows manager to load i want to switch windows managers
[22:31] <AboSamoor> where can i find this package gtk-builder-convert ?
[22:31] <bogey-> erisco: what you are doing is not possible with a simple shell script
[22:31] <jpds> erisco: sudo -u <user> command
[22:31] <erisco> bogey-, well what if I use a python script?
[22:31] <erisco> jpds, that is not the same at all
[22:32] <connor> could someone help me setup ratpoison?
[22:32] <DrLame> How do I get teh Configure button in Netowrk Tools to start working?....
[22:33] <bosco> if i have gotten rid of my graphical login and i login via STARTX where is the file that i need to change the # on to tell it what windows manager to load i want to switch windows managers
[22:33] <anachronoks> What is the best dock for Ubuntu? Preferably the most stable.
[22:33] <erisco> jpds, that still asks for the current user's password
[22:33] <erisco> jpds, which imo doesn't even make sense, but it does
[22:33] <jpds> erisco: hmm, I see.
[22:34] <ogre> anachronoks:  i'd say awn is cairodock isnt bad either
[22:34] <RonLut> I installed firefox 32 on 64 ubuntu but now no one of my addons are working (they are installed on the 32 FF, but not working)
[22:34] <erisco> bogey-, how can I do it?? all I want is a script to enable internet access and a script to disable internet access
[22:34] <anachronoks> thanks ogre
[22:34] <anachronoks> i'll check them out
[22:34] <erisco> bogey-, and that script has to be executed as a different user behind a different password, obviously
[22:34] <erisco> bogey-, but I don't want the other user to have to login to gnome to do it
[22:34] <cyphase> is it possible to install the nvidia driver on a live cd and have it working, i.e. without requiring restart?
[22:35] <norty> Problem: My Ubuntu keeps crashing, that is it either locks up (especially happens when the screen saver is on) or the screen goes blank and then logs me out, the version I have is 8.04 and I have installed all proposed and required updates, what is going on and how do I fix it?
[22:35] <erisco> bogey-, I am so ridiculously close but EVERYTHING gets in my way
[22:35] <gusi> sudo ln /home/greenfish/tset /usr/bin/ ln: creating hard link `/usr/bin/tset': File exists <---- wth is goin on here?
[22:35] <amenado> erisco-> you have to understand, that once you are logged on to another user, you are spawning a different shell so execute the new command in the new shell of the newuser
[22:35] <user_> cyphase: i tried once, didnt succedd
[22:35] <erisco> amenado, how
[22:35] <to0x> norty check the dmesg log
[22:36] <norty> to0x, where is the dmesg log?
[22:36] <to0x> norty: /var/log
[22:36] <user_> cyphase: you might ask in developer channel
[22:36] <to0x> syslog and messages too
[22:36] <amenado> erisco i dont know on top of my head, but i'd go looking around the login scripts it runs like in bashrc or profile
[22:36] <ninjasenses> what is better xchat or xchat gnome?
[22:36] <connor> xchat gnome is for gnome
[22:36] <bogey-> erisco: there are a million different ways to handle it, the easiest is to use sudo su - userB -c scriptB, the second easiest is to use squid proxy. The hardest is to learn shell scripting.
[22:36] <ASULutzy> erisco: I'm just start now reading what's going on, but typing sudo -u TheOtherUser bash would give you a shell as the other user
[22:36] <connor> its what i use and i like it, nice and simple
[22:37] <anachronoks> xchat gnome if you're using gnome
[22:37] <connor> like i said
[22:37] <to0x> norty: actually just for dmesg, only type dmesg on your shell
[22:37] <maccam94> connor: have you used ratpoison before?
[22:37] <connor> no
[22:37] <connor> im gonna try xfce
[22:37] <connor> brb
[22:37] <sulle> Why cant i see my windows partitions and other drives?
[22:37] <spanguru> Can someone help me please ?
[22:37] <norty> to0x, ok im looking at it, what should i be looking for?
[22:37] <Stargazer> Maccam94, what's ratpoison ?
[22:38] <aib> will Intrepid Ibex be based on Debian Lenny if it releases in September as planned?
[22:38] <gusi> sudo ln /home/greenfish/tset /usr/bin/ ln: creating hard link `/usr/bin/tset': File exists <---- wth is goin on here?
[22:38] <maccam94> Stargazer: a very minimalistic window manager
[22:38] <aib> e.g., will unstable packages currently in Debian make it into the next version of Ubuntu?
[22:38] <Stargazer> Oh
[22:38] <anachronoks> it's a window manager you can use without a mouse
[22:38]  * nDuff prefers ion to ratpoison
[22:38] <maccam94> requires a good bit of configuration it seems, setting keybindings, etc
[22:38] <erisco> ASULutzy, it asks for the wrong password though
[22:38] <mellery> hi, I submitted a bug about rhythmbox crashing, i was told to resubmit with apport, but it never runs when something crashes, can anyone help please?
[22:38] <spanguru> I see a intramfs prompt after instalaltion
[22:38]  * Mecha25 agrees with nDuff
[22:38] <amenado> gusi see if /usr/bin/tset exist
[22:38] <danbhfive> aib: the intrepid release is based more on gnome
[22:39] <gusi> amenado: it doesnt , ive tried names that only im aware of, and it still complains, I even tried my real name
[22:39] <ASULutzy> erisco: hmmm? I just did sudo -u anotherUser bash and it asked me for my sudo password
[22:39] <erisco> bogey-, I will give that a try
[22:39] <djzn> my SATA drive SAMSUNG shakes a little more than my SEAGATE IDE.... is this normal?
[22:39] <amenado> spangaru a new install? what have you done prior? was this a working boot beforehand?
[22:39] <aib> danbhfive, what can I do to push a package thats currently unstable in Debian into the next release of Ubuntu?
[22:39] <erisco> ASULutzy, that is the entire problem
[22:39] <sulle> what must i write to get all my drives to get visible in thunar?
[22:39] <erisco> ASULutzy, I want it to ask for the other user's password
[22:39] <Stargazer> For gnome, (ubuntu 8.04) is there a lighter nautilus i could use or maybe a alternate one ?
[22:39] <Mecha25> stargazer: try Thunar
[22:39] <connor> hmm xfce is pretty cool
[22:40] <alex___> i have linux webserver and windows storage server.  I want to be able to back files to  linux backup server .. any idea what software
[22:40] <bosco> if i have gotten rid of my graphical login and i login via STARTX where is the file that i need to change the # on to tell it what windows manager to load i want to switch windows managers
[22:40] <amenado> gusi  on my system /usr/bin/tset exist..  confirm it on yours please
[22:40] <connor> nice and simple
[22:40] <danbhfive> aib: ask in #ubuntu-motu
[22:40] <nDuff> erisco, then you want the "targetpw" option
[22:40] <to0x> norty: error messages, especially graphics errors (drivers etc..), it's seems to be a graphic driver problem
[22:40] <ASULutzy> erisco: But you typed sudo as your user... So it's going to ask you for your sudo password?
[22:40] <maccam94> connor: i'd say try e17 if you want a cool, lightweight desktop, but it's a PITA to install in ubuntu
[22:40] <anachronoks> i always liked xfce because it worked much faster on an older computer
[22:40] <rudi> hi, is prince there?
[22:40] <connor> pita?
[22:40] <connor> oh
[22:40] <erisco> nDuff, I cannot see it on the --help or man. do you know it?
[22:40] <nDuff> ASULutzy, sudo can work either way; it's configurable in sudoers.conf
[22:40] <nDuff> erisco, it's in the man page.
[22:40] <gusi> amenado: yeah youre right, i just confirmed it, i also used "unlink on tset will that cause any serious harm to my system?
[22:40] <Mecha25> connor: go with ion3 if you want my opinion, takes some getting used to but it's amazing once you figure it out
[22:41] <Stargazer> Mecha25 im on regular Ubuntu will thunar work ?
[22:41] <connor> what format do i download for e17?
[22:41] <amenado> gusi yes it will, you'd not going to be able to use tset to reset consoles/tty and serial settings
[22:41] <Mecha25> stargazer: think so, it's in Xubuntu by default, they all use the same repos
[22:41] <nDuff> erisco, man 5 sudoers
[22:41] <maccam94> connor: 1 sec, seeing if i can find a howto
[22:41] <connor> ok in xfce do i have to alt tab to switch to programs i already have open?
[22:42] <gusi> amenado: okay thanks dude, I will reformat my system and install ubuntu again
[22:42] <rudi> i need help on Geforce 7300GS...anyone configure it with higher resolution then 600x800...plz report
[22:42] <Freeaqingme> When I do ls in a directory, I get this output on one folder, how do I set the right fileperms on that file? ?????????? ? ?    ?      ?                ? DefaultWorkspace
[22:42] <amenado> gusi okay, good luck
[22:43] <un2him> how do you tile open windows in gnome?
[22:43] <erisco> nDuff, I am a little confused on how I set this flag, though
[22:43] <amenado> Freeaqingme-> what did you do before this?
[22:43] <connor> why is ion3 hard to use?
[22:43] <Freeaqingme> amenado, I dont know
[22:43] <spanguru> It is a new install
[22:43] <erisco> nDuff, I do not want to modify the sudoers file...
[22:43] <ian__>  hey gang.  i'm real stuck on a broken x after the update a few days back to the new kernel
[22:43] <ogre> i just wanted to say thanks to the whole ubuntu team and its users who help people in this channel. you are doing a great service and believe it or not you are changing the world :)
[22:43] <ian__>  i've tried envyng, reinstalling the glx packages...
[22:43] <ian__>  but i'm still stuck in safe mode at 800x600 on a single monitor.  running nvidia card (quadro nvs) but when i try using nvidia-settings it tells me i'm not running an nvidia driver
[22:43] <ian__>  event though the restricted drivers manager says otherwise...
[22:43] <FloodBot1> ian__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:43] <Freeaqingme> I think it got something to do with nfs, with wihich I had some struggels some time ago
[22:43] <Freeaqingme> @ amenado
[22:44] <nDuff> erisco, there's not another approach.
[22:44] <rudi> i need help on Geforce 7300GS...anyone configure it with higher resolution then 600x800...plz report
[22:44] <spanguru> I did not have any issues with installation, I get initramfs when the machine is rebooted from hard disk
[22:44] <connor> ian___: try another ubuntu option on grub, thats what i did
[22:44] <amenado> spangaru it seems like your install did not complete or you have a faulty initrd
[22:44] <ogre> i just wanted to say thanks to the whole ubuntu team and its users who help people in this channel. you are doing a great service and believe it or not you are changing the world :)
[22:44]  * m_newton is back (gone 01:57:09)
[22:44] <connor> ian__: i used the kernel .16 and it fixed my problem
[22:44] <ian__> connor, yeah i tried going back to the previous kernel...but i'm stuck there as well
[22:44] <connor> Oh, hmm
[22:44] <alicec> How to format and mount /dev/cobd1 to /home ?
[22:44] <connor> This happened to me on linux mint
[22:44] <ian__> forgot what i did to get that one working...
[22:44] <ian__> connor, that's what i'm on too  ;^)
[22:44] <connor> Oh
[22:45] <gusi> thanks amenado
[22:45] <spanguru> what should be done to fix initrd
[22:45] <rudi> i need help on Geforce 7300GS...anyone configure it with higher resolution then 600x800...plz report
[22:45] <connor> Yeah I had your exact problem, but it got forced even lower to 600x400 D:
[22:45] <nDuff> erisco, it would be a massive security hole to let users change sudo's authentication behavior *without* editing a protected configuration file (ie. sudoers)
[22:45] <amenado> Freeaqingme-> unmount your nfs and perhaps restart your system
[22:45] <connor> It was completely unusable, i couldnt go to the terminal
[22:45] <connor> or xchat or anything
[22:45] <Freeaqingme> ->|     wasn't aware that I had any nfs mounts mounted, thanks for the tip (forgot to look in mtab :'( )
[22:45] <spoon_man> !res | ian_
[22:45] <rudi> i need help on Geforce 7300GS...anyone configure it with higher resolution then 600x800...plz report
[22:45] <connor> So on xfce where do i find the clock?
[22:46] <erisco> bogey, sudo su - userB -c scriptB did not work syntactically
[22:46] <spoon_man> ian_, that HowTo page helped me with some quirks; it has a lot of good info
[22:46] <erisco> nDuff, I only need this in a single situation though
[22:46] <erisco> nDuff, I just want to run a script as a different user...
[22:46] <ian__> spoon_man,it's more than just the resolution i think
[22:46] <ian__> but i will check that page out
[22:46] <erisco> nDuff, and it is bloody impossible :s
[22:46] <spoon_man> ian_, have you read the document?
[22:47] <ASULutzy> erisco: Right, but you want to type sudo and it ask you for not your password. So in order for that to happen you need to edit /etc/sudoers
[22:47] <maccam94> connor: if you're feeling adventurous, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=546746
[22:47] <erisco> ASULutzy, I do not necessarily want anything
[22:47] <ASULutzy> Running something as another user isn't hard... Just sudo -u theUser theThingYouWantToRun
[22:47] <connor> Why if i am feeling adventerous?
[22:47] <erisco> ASULutzy, I just want it so this other person can double click on a file, enter THEIR password, and then enable/disable internet access on someone elses account
[22:47] <connor> adventurous*
[22:47] <connor> maccam94: is e17 hard to use?
[22:47] <Nujtik> hi
[22:48] <maccam94> connor: no once it's set up it's fairly simple
[22:48] <maccam94> and very configurable
[22:48] <cbx33> hey guys
[22:48] <erisco> ASULutzy, I've tried so many things with sudo and gksudo I don't know where to turn now
[22:48] <cbx33> i had a writeable cd drive and i just swapped it for a dvd drive
[22:48] <cbx33> and now it doesn't work
[22:48] <Nujtik> i turned on my ubuntu box this evening to find that after i log in the screen goes all white but the cursor shows up and moves about.  restarting X or the whole computer doesnt help :(
[22:48] <connor> Maccam94: whats the interface like?
[22:48] <cbx33> it won't play dvds
[22:48] <cbx33> any idea why?
[22:49] <Gnea> cbx33: did you install dvd player support?
[22:49] <nDuff> erisco, would it be consistent with what you want to set the sudoers file to allow that one script to be executed as that one user with no password?
[22:49] <maccam94> connor: http://www0.get-e.org/Screenshots/Official/
[22:49] <amenado> erisco-> just to disable/enable  a user access to the internet?
[22:49] <cbx33> Gnea: no
[22:49] <maccam94> connor: http://www0.get-e.org/Screenshots/User_Submitted/
[22:49] <cbx33> how to do that?
[22:49] <erisco> amenado, yes
[22:49] <nDuff> erisco, either way, if you're going for privilege escalation, it's a Very Good Thing that it requires administrative action.
[22:49] <maccam94> it has a great dock
[22:49] <Gnea> !dvd | cbx33
[22:49] <gway9000> su - x -c "/path/to/script.sh"
[22:49] <erisco> nDuff, is it not a security hole to act as a different user without their password?
[22:50] <erisco> gway9000, does that run as a different user though?
[22:50] <connor> how do i add repos to my list?
[22:50] <connor> nevermind
[22:50] <Unislash> hey guys :)
[22:50] <mocha> 1 ops, 1337 total
[22:50] <erisco> gway9000, I replace x with the user, right?
[22:50] <amenado> erisco-> i myself would look at a iptables command to prohibit one specific address to getout/getin
[22:50] <erisco> amenado, I already have that part solved
[22:50] <Flannel> gway9000, erisco, Should use sudo instead.
[22:51] <connor> will this code add a repository to my list?
[22:51] <connor> sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://cafelinux.org/Downloads/oz-os tinwoodman main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
[22:51] <erisco> Flannel, well if you could let me know how I'd be very interested.
[22:51] <gavi> good evening folks, i have a ftp client which i need to set it to open texteditor each time i want to edit a html or php file from within the file manager of my ftp client.. he wont open files cause i have not set a default program.. i am in the options now and im not sure where the original source for text editor is located, could someone possibly tell me
[22:51] <gway9000> x = user
[22:51] <amenado> erisco-> right,  and yeah you need a sudo action..
[22:51] <Blaqlight> wow finally I can join this channel using my internet browser.
[22:51] <Unislash> i'm partitioning a 500GB hard drive, and i'm wondering what amount of space i need. I think i'm going to go the windows|shared files|ubuntu|Swap route
[22:51] <cbx33> Gnea: Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd
[22:51] <Flannel> erisco: What are you trying to do? just run something as another user?  sudo -u username command
[22:51] <cbx33> in mplayer
[22:51] <tgm4883> In Hardy, where did the default media player selection move to?  It's no longer in System > Preferences > Removable drives and media?
[22:52] <Unislash> i just need to know how much space i should have in the swap, windows, and ubuntu partitions
[22:52] <amenado> erisco-> userxxxxyyy  ALL=(root) /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[22:52] <cbx33> Gnea: it thinks it's a cd
[22:52] <connor> When using the terminal to add a repository to my list, will there be a confirmation after running the command?
[22:52] <amenado> erisco is a sample
[22:52] <ASULutzy> connor: Yes, another way to do it would just be to type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:52] <connor> thank you
[22:52] <Gnea> cbx33: is there even a /dev/dvd?
[22:52] <Blaqlight> hmm this is a really nice internet relay chat client.
[22:52] <ASULutzy> connor: then just add it to the bottom
[22:52] <connor> but will the script i typed work?
[22:52] <maccam94> connor: um it depends how you add it
[22:52] <connor>  sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://cafelinux.org/Downloads/oz-os tinwoodman main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
[22:52] <gavi> does anyone know where the file to start text editor is located in ubuntu 8.04
[22:52] <cbx33> Gnea: no
[22:52] <maccam94> connor: no that will be silent
[22:52] <cbx33> it's not there
[22:53] <Scunizi> What folder do I backup for Thunderbird to retain all the settings, email and address book?
[22:53] <ASULutzy> connor: Sure, why not
[22:53] <Nujtik> has there been a common problem with some of the recent ubuntu updates with ati or X?
[22:53] <Danish989> hi all
[22:53] <erisco> Flannel, I really wish.
[22:53] <Gnea> cbx33: yeah, kinda hard to open something that's not there - you'll need to actually create that or change the settings in the player
[22:53] <Flannel> erisco: Wish what?
[22:53] <cbx33> Gnea: any idea how?
[22:53] <plouffe> Should I have a firewall and a virus scanner for Ubuntu, and which ones are good?
[22:53] <Gnea> cbx33: dmesg should tell you what the actualy device name is
[22:54] <gregbrady> I have a laptop here, compaq r4000, that continuosly crashes due to overheating.  Well, it just crashed an hour ago and now it won't reboot.  It tries, it allows me to logon.  the disk goes crazy for 30-40 minutes then just a black screen.  Not sure where to go from here.
[22:54] <Gnea> cbx33: and then just make a symbolic link to it via /dev/dvd, should work fine then
[22:54] <Scunizi> plouffe: router and no scanner unless you want to protect your windows friends. :)
[22:54] <cbx33> Gnea: lots of [  249.501599] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 737528
[22:54] <Danish989> how do I share a folder on a network in ubuntu? the other computer has win xp
[22:54] <connor> Thank you everyone for all the help
[22:54] <fluffles> Scunizi, backup your ~/.thunderbird directory, which contains your profiles
[22:54] <erisco> I tried   $su - <username> -c "iptables"    but it comes back saying    -su: iptables: command not found
[22:54] <cbx33> because it thinks it's a cd maybe?
[22:54] <connor> whats the channel for e17?
[22:54] <erisco> it works with other commands I tried... not iptables though
[22:54] <plouffe> no software firewall?
[22:54] <erisco> I am getting PISSED.
[22:54] <Gnea> cbx33: i see. try this command: eject /dev/sr0   does that open the drive?
[22:54] <Scunizi> fluffles: now for the hard part.. how 'bout on a windows system?
[22:54] <cbx33> yes
[22:54] <erisco> how can iptables magically not be found by -su?
[22:54] <ninjasenses> what is the bash command for unistalling software?
[22:54] <connor> Scunizi: whats the question?
[22:55] <zcat[1]> plouffe, seriously, completely not necessary to have a firewall or AV with any linux distro
[22:55] <erisco> everything else is there! damn!
[22:55] <ASULutzy> Danish989: easiest way I have found is to type gksu nautilus in a terminal (be very careful while you have a root nautilus session open) and then I think you can just right click on the folder and hit sharing options or something similar to that
[22:55] <fluffles> Scunizi, Documents and Settings/userdir/Application data/Thunderbird
[22:55] <Scunizi> connor: it's above .. .. Thanks fluffles !!  I'm tech support for one who is lost.
[22:55] <marcellopa> hello
[22:55] <gavi> sorry for reposting, i am assuming no one understood my question. im looking for the file to start gedit via nautalis
[22:55] <connor> e17 takes a while to install
[22:55] <erisco> Flannel, because sudo -u <username> <command> does NOT do what I want
[22:55] <maccam94> connor: if no one told you, there's #e
[22:55] <fluffles> Scunizi, ok :) good luck!
[22:55] <plouffe> thanks
[22:55] <Flannel> erisco: What do you want to do then?
[22:55] <Danish989> ASULutzy: the folder is on the computer with windows xp, I want to access it using my laptop that has ubuntu
[22:55] <maccam94> connor: as well as #get-e
[22:55] <gavi> where is the file to start gedit in nautalis?
[22:56] <ASULutzy> erisco: try /sbin/iptables
[22:56] <connor> thanks
[22:56] <connor> #get-e
[22:56] <erisco> Flannel, I do not want to edit /etc/sudoers so it isn't an option
[22:56] <Flannel> erisco: *what* are you trying to do?
[22:56] <Gnea> erisco: maybe you should just walk away and chill out for a bit.
[22:56] <maccam94> gavi: um, you mean /usr/bin/gedit?
[22:56] <cbx33> Gnea: awesome
[22:56] <gavi> maccam94, i think thats what i need, thanks friend
[22:56] <cbx33> /dev/sr0 works
[22:56] <ASULutzy> Danish989: Oh, then you'd do this, sudo smbmount //the.ip.address.ofShare/NameOfShare /media/share -o username=theUsername
[22:56] <ASULutzy> Danish989: You'll need to do sudo apt-get install smbmount and sudo mkdir /media/share before that'll work though
[22:57] <connor> how long should e17 take to install O_o
[22:57] <Gnea> cbx33: ok, try this then:  ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd  (as root)
[22:57] <ASULutzy> erisco: Why do you not want to edit the sudoers file, that's what it's there for
[22:57] <gavi> maccam94, it doesnt seem to be there but i found edtior is that it
[22:57] <maccam94> gavi: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[22:57] <cbx33> Gnea: yeh
[22:57] <cbx33> that should do it
[22:57] <Gnea> keep fingers crossed
[22:57] <gavi> maccam94,  8.04
[22:58] <maccam94> gavi:  i mean ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu...
[22:58] <connor> how long should e17 take to install O_o
[22:58] <ASULutzy> erisco: and the reason it said iptables wasn't found is because it probably wasn't in the path, try /sbin/iptables instead of just iptables
[22:58] <Danish989> ASULutzy: you mean first install smbmount and then make a directory called 'share'?
[22:58] <Danish989> ASULutzy: and the ip address is of the computer on the network, but what is Name Of Share? Name of the computer or the folder to be shared?
[22:58] <Unislash> can anyone offer their opinions on how to partition your hard drive for dual booting winxp and hardy (and also the sizes of their partitions :) )
[22:58] <gavi> maccam94, i found it . excuese me
[22:58] <gavi> i wasnt looking well enough
[22:58] <connor> unislash: the installer does it automatically
[22:58] <maccam94> gavi: haha ok ;-)
[22:58] <connor> you can pick your size of each partition and everything :)
[22:58] <Unislash> connor: i don't want it to be done automatically :)
[22:58] <connor> why not?
[22:59] <connor> Unislash: you can pick the size of each partition to whatever size you want
[22:59] <prash> hey i am not able to access files on vista share using samba client
[22:59] <chowder> can anyone help me with my locale settings?
[22:59] <Flannel> Unislash: Its fine, theres a "manual" option in the installer.  You'll be able to shrink your XP and give Ubuntu however much you want
[22:59] <chowder> http://pastebin.com/d26facadf
[22:59] <Unislash> because.... i want to allocate the right amount of space
[22:59] <connor> yep
[22:59] <connor> I already told you
[22:59] <schlegz> anyone hear have experience installing ELDK onto Ubuntu?
[22:59] <connor> how long should e17 take to install O_o
[22:59] <maccam94> Unislash: the ubuntu installer is *semi* automatic
[22:59] <nDuff> erisco, it's only a security hole if the admin didn't approve it. :)
[22:59] <Unislash> flannel: yea, i know :). i just want to know opinions on how much space to allocate to each partition
[22:59] <connor> it depends
[22:59] <connor> i have 20 gigs on my ubuntu partition and thats enough for me
[22:59] <Flannel> Unislash: Well, that really depends on how you intend to use it.
[22:59] <ASULutzy> Danish989: Yes, first install smbmount, then make a directory (call it whatever, I use share in the /media folder) and then yes, the ip address is the ip of the computer on the network and the name of the share is whatever the other machine decided to name the share? For example I have a machine that is sharing a folder, I've named the share movies, the ip on that machine is 192.168.0.102, my username is ryan on that machine. So I do sudo
[23:00] <connor> Well I have 2 internal hard drives so go figure
[23:00] <nDuff> erisco, we're not talking about generic actions here, right -- just invoking a single specific script.
[23:00] <Unislash> like... most people suggest to partition a hard drive like this: windows|Shared|Ubuntu|Swap
[23:00] <maccam94> Unislash: the amount of space depends on how you want to keep your data, which OS you're planning on using the most, etc
[23:00] <nDuff> erisco, sudo's can operate with that granularity (and more).
[23:00] <maccam94> Unislash: you don't need a shared partition anymore
[23:00] <Unislash> which i understand and think i will do.... but i just don't know how much space to give to each partition :)
[23:00] <maccam94> Unislash: both OSes can read/write each other's partitions now
[23:00] <Unislash> ah, k
[23:00] <chowder> Can anyone help me with my locale settings? http://pastebin.com/m387c1397
[23:00] <zcat[1]> Unislash, I recommend "root|home|swap" -- no windows ;)
[23:00] <connor> yep
[23:01] <Unislash> zcat[1]: lol
[23:01] <connor> zcat[1]: some people like me need to use windows for some things :)
[23:01] <Flannel> maccam94: Windows can't reliable read/write ext3, unless I missed some announcement
[23:01] <prash> hello is it possible to access files on vista share using samba  on ubuntu 8.04 :)
[23:01] <maccam94> Unislash: the default ubuntu options are fine
[23:01] <ASULutzy> erisco: Yes, you can set it so that a given user can only run a single action with root priviledges. A lot of times shutdown and reboot are things that you might add to a specific users privileges.
[23:01] <maccam94> Flannel: the IFS driver
[23:01] <Danish989> okie, got it :) Thanks ASULutzy
[23:01] <zcat[1]> connor, and people lime me pity you for it :)
[23:01] <zcat[1]> *like
[23:01] <ASULutzy> Danish989: No problem
[23:02] <Unislash> hmmm.... do you know how i can set it up to have a partition that keeps my settings in case i wish to reinstall ubuntu many times?
[23:02] <ASULutzy> prash: Yea, I just got done typing like a huge explanation on how to do it :P
[23:02] <connor> zcat[1]: haha
[23:02] <zcat[1]> Flannel, there are drivers for ext2/3 and reiserfs support in windows
[23:02] <Magicdead> hum anyone here got zfs on his ubuntu?
[23:02] <maccam94> Flannel: http://www.fs-driver.org
[23:02] <connor> Anyone who uses e13: whats the default interface like?
[23:02] <magnetron> !home | Unislash
[23:02] <zcat[1]> well, 'available for windows' -- not in windows
[23:02] <Flannel> maccam94: no, fs-driver.org is well known, but its stability is still so-so.  Again, unless I missed some announcement
[23:02] <Danish989> ASULutzy: lol
[23:02] <prash> ASULutzy: hmm... should i make forum thread for it :)
[23:02] <maccam94> connor: e17. and i sent you two links with screenshots ;-)
[23:02] <schlegz> anyone hear have experience installing ELDK onto Ubuntu?
[23:02] <Danish989> ASULutzy: I wrote down what you told me to do, so I can tell prash
[23:02] <prash> ASULutzy: so this will las time
[23:03] <ASULutzy> prash: sudo apt-get install smbmount && sudo mkdir /media/share && sudo smbmount //theIpAddress.OfThe.Vista.Machine/TheNameOfTheShare /media/share -o username=TheUserName
[23:03] <connor> maccam94: i know
[23:03] <ASULutzy> Danish989: Good, cause I'm leaving to go home, time to enjoy Friday night, take care all :P
[23:03] <Danish989> ASULutzy: ok nevermind , you're really good at this
[23:03] <Unislash> and how much space do you recommend for a swap partition? i have 4gb of ram.
[23:03] <zcat[1]> 'reliable' is relative; windows can't always reliably write ntfs..
[23:03] <adityag> whats the cmd to Set full permissions (CHMOD 777) on the "/uploads_group" directory  ??
[23:03] <Unislash> (thanks, btw :) )
[23:03] <Danish989> ASULutzy: enjoy the weekend
[23:03] <maccam94> Flannel: as far as i know it's been stable for a while
[23:03] <maccam94> connor: so what do you want to know?
[23:03] <connor> e17 default looks like fluxbox
[23:04] <the-herby> zcat[1], that's why they invented the system-restore point :)
[23:04] <poseidon> Unislash, if you want your settings you can copy certian files like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  But usually they are edited on install of a new driver.  I would write a script to auto install/update/edit files to your liking when you install.  When I install a debian based OS, I usually can just run python installScript
[23:04] <Danish989> prash: I can help you with that
[23:04] <poseidon> Unislash, you can use bash for simplicity if needed.
[23:04] <Danish989> the-herby: ubuntu has system restore?
[23:04] <the-herby> no i meant.. if something went wrong with ntfs on windows..
[23:04] <prash> thanks Danish989
[23:04] <Unislash> ah, thanks poseidon :)
[23:04] <Danish989> the-herby: oh okie, my bad
[23:04] <gregbrady> I have a laptop here, compaq r4000, that continuosly crashes due to overheating.  Well, it just crashed an hour ago and now it won't reboot.  It tries, it allows me to logon.  the disk goes crazy for 30-40 minutes then just a black screen.  Not sure where to go from here.
[23:04] <gregbrady> Is there a better distro for laptops?
[23:04] <rebelThor> how can i tell which process stresses my hard drive? i now have something that constantly reads (or writes) to my hd
[23:05] <Danish989> prash: it's all good, do you want me to send you the text file in which I copied the instructions?
[23:05] <maccam94> connor: not really
[23:05] <zcat[1]> the-herby, true. so much faith in their own OS that they create multiple backups for every significant change
[23:05] <Unislash> poseidon: what do you suggest for the amount of space on a swap partition? i have 4gb of ram
[23:05] <maccam94> connor: plus it does cool things such as animated backgrounds, it has a better dock, applets, etc
[23:05] <prash> would be great :)
[23:05] <adityag> any body to help with cmd CHMOD ? to Set full permissions (CHMOD 777) on the "/uploads_group" directory  ??
[23:05] <maccam94> connor: you might look at the themes on get-e.org
[23:05] <tgm4883> In Hardy, where did the default media player selection move to?  It's no longer in System > Preferences > Removable drives and media?
[23:05] <prash> Danish989: but how will u do it
[23:06] <jlazaridis> !chmod
[23:06] <Danish989> prash: what do you mean?
[23:06] <tgm4883> adityag, sudo chmod 777 /uploads_group
[23:06] <Magicdead> but e17 is still experimental, right? it's like the dukenukem forever of guis ^^
[23:06] <connor> maccam94: animated backgrounds?
[23:06] <poseidon> Unislash, The rule of thumb is usually half your ram.  However, now-a-days swap isn't needed with all the access ram that people have, so it's your call.
[23:06] <connor> brb trying e17
[23:06] <prash> Danish989: i mean how can u send a file over an irc channel .
[23:07] <the-herby> dityag try .. chmod 777 (wherever)/uploads_group
[23:07] <alicec> is it true that colinux is the only usefull windows appliation?
[23:07] <Magicdead> prash: DCC file transfer ?
[23:07] <maccam94> Magicdead: except that it is very usable even though it's under development
[23:07] <Danish989> prash: I right click your name, and choose "send-file" .. are you using Pidgen on ubuntu or Mirc on windows right now?
[23:07] <the-herby> adityag
[23:07] <poseidon> Unislash, you could do 1gb just to be safe if your not limited on space.  I would look into your config files an make sure that your swap is used the least amount possible (swap is slower than the traditional ram).
[23:07] <tgm4883> alicec, shutdown is pretty useful ;)
[23:07] <Unislash> thanks :)
[23:07] <prash> pidgin on windows hehe
[23:07] <Corkster> anyone point me to a howto for Hauppauge HVR950 and ubuntu hardy install ?
[23:07] <connor> could someone help me get the e17 application panel installed like it is on xfce or fluxbox?
[23:07] <prash> pidgin on windows Danish989
[23:08] <poseidon> Unislash, I forget how I did it, but I'm sure google knows ;)
[23:08] <connor> i saw a screenshot of it on 317
[23:08] <connor> e17*
[23:08] <Danish989> prash: lol, then a window asking you to accept the file should've just opened up
[23:08] <maccam94> connor: could you link me to the screenshot?
[23:08] <prash> i did accept
[23:08] <connor> hold on
[23:08] <connor> wow this will be hard to get used to
[23:08] <prash> i did accept Danish989
[23:08] <Danish989> prash: it says waiting for transfer to begin :s
[23:08] <the-herby> how can i disable or enable some piece of hardware? for example if i want to disable a second sound card or wlan?
[23:09] <maccam94> the-herby: remove the module?
[23:09] <connor> http://polishlinux.org/reviews/e17/e17_2_thumb.png
[23:09] <maccam94> (modprobe -r modulename)
[23:09] <Danish989> prash: I can always email since this doesn't seem to be working :/
[23:09] <the-herby> maccam94, ok that sounds reasonable. i just have to find the right modulename :)
[23:10] <connor> any idea maccam94?
[23:10] <prash> ok
[23:10] <maccam94> connor: i'm looking at the screenshot
[23:10] <prash> ok Danish989
[23:10] <connor> oh ok
[23:10] <maccam94> h/o
[23:10] <connor> that will be helpful tome
[23:10] <connor> to me*
[23:10] <Danish989> prash: where do I email it?
[23:10] <connor> brb
[23:10] <maccam94> connor: so are you talking about the menu in the center of the screen or the dock at the bottom?
[23:10] <maccam94> connor: so are you talking about the menu in the center of the screen or the dock at the bottom?
[23:10] <connor> im back
[23:10] <molgrum> hello i really need help with my usb mouse (mx 500). when i'm playing games, it sometimes freezes for 1-2 seconds which is highly annoying, the kernel log says this every time it happens: http://rafb.net/p/WXwcFw14.html
[23:10] <Lymies> Hello all. I'm having problems with sound. Flash and any other program using sound are mutually exclusive, and usually when I go from using flash to trying to use something else I can no longer use sound at all and am forced to reboot.
[23:10] <connor> maccam94: menu in the center
[23:11] <Lymies> And this just happened when I updated to the latest ubuntu
[23:11] <xm5495> #paranoidlinux
[23:11] <connor> And how can I configure the clock?
[23:12] <Danish989> prash: You'll need to do sudo apt-get install smbmount and sudo mkdir /media/share
[23:12] <maccam94> connor: sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg xdg-utils
[23:12] <Danish989> prash: then you'd do this, sudo smbmount //the.ip.address.ofShare/NameOfShare /media/share -o username=theUsername
[23:12] <connor> thanks
[23:12] <prash> Danish989: ok . u can also paste it in !paste
[23:12] <maccam94> connor: then: sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
[23:12] <Magicdead> but so noone here hs tried zfs ?
[23:12] <connor> oh wait i click on the desktop and it is there
[23:12] <Danish989> !paste
[23:13] <adityag> i want to change *.conf of apache , the cmd is ./configure --enable-mods-shared="rewrite"
[23:13] <Danish989> prash: I just wrote down the instructions here, do you want me to make a paste bin as well?
[23:13] <maccam94> Magicdead: isn't that sun's filesystem?
[23:13] <prash> ok no need thanks alot
[23:13] <prash> :)
[23:13] <maccam94> Magicdead: or are you talking about xfs?
[23:13] <nachjochip> does anyone here have any experience using rdesktop?
[23:13] <connor> maccam94: how can i customize e17 so it is useful?
[23:13] <prash> Danish989: thanks no need
[23:13] <Magicdead> maccam94: yes, the sun one
[23:13] <onthefence928> how do i use emerald? (i already installed using synaptic and imported a .emerald theme into emerald, but i can't figure out how to make it take affect.
[23:13] <Danish989> prash: you're welcome :)
[23:13] <elementz> anybody got an idea how to import footage from miniDV cameras? already loaded the raw1394 module, and started kino as root, but i still don't see my camera in the prefs dialog
[23:13] <Magicdead> maccam94: the one that manages multiple discs and filesystems
[23:13] <elementz> any suggestions?
[23:14] <maccam94> Magicdead: i'm pretty sure that it has copyright issues, and isn't able to be used in linux
[23:14] <maccam94> connor: that's pretty generic. the stuff i just told you will populate your menus with your programs
[23:14] <ian__> still no love.  i'm back on my old (.16) kernel, but can't get anything higher than an 800x600 resolution
[23:14] <maccam94> connor: then you can get themes from get-e.org
[23:14] <connor> Where can I get themes?
[23:14] <connor> oh ok
[23:14] <legend2440> tgm4883open nautilus then   edit>preferences>media
[23:14] <adityag> i want to change *.conf of apache , the cmd is ./configure --enable-mods-shared="rewrite"
[23:14] <molgrum> might it be that my mouse is glitching, or can it be a bug in the USB code?
[23:14] <connor> How can I add applications to the dock at the bottom?
[23:14] <connor> Or set the clock?
[23:14] <rabusmar> hello, i have installed firefox 3 but deskbar history/bookmarks/web search are with errors, it says "firefox version must be between 2.0.0.0 and 3.0.0.0"
[23:15] <maccam94> connor: and then using the configuration panel to add stuff to the dock, change settings, etc
[23:15] <rabusmar> any suggestion?
[23:15] <maccam94> rabusmar: have you restarted firefox since you installed it?
[23:15] <rabusmar> yes
[23:15] <connor> How do I add the themes?
[23:15] <ApiphobicFlora> Hey all
[23:15] <onur> Hi. I tried to change opacity settings for a window in compiz configuration. My desktop gone and it's not comming. There is only wallpaper and mouse scroll. How can i restore default compiz settings in Ubuntu?
[23:15] <Magicdead> maccam94: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS <-- there's an installation howto there, so i guess it works. but yes, there are some license issues, it could only be in universe or multiverse afaik
[23:15] <prash> i want to know how to configure DHCP3  server in ubuntu to make ddns work :)
[23:15] <connor> got it
[23:15] <maccam94> rabusmar: and you installed firefox from the ubuntu repositories?
[23:15] <molgrum> if i didn't have the problem on windows, does it mean that i can discard the possibility of the mouse glitching? or could it mean that windows is simply handling the glitch better?
[23:16] <ApiphobicFlora> I'm on my live boot USB, what partitions do I need to make using the manual method?
[23:16] <rabusmar> yes, i have installed both ff 2 and 3 with different profiles, with 3 as my mayor browser
[23:16] <connor> How can I make the clock 12 hour?
[23:16] <lokuazzz> hello, can someone tell me how can i check my computer HW info? Particularly my RAM.
[23:16] <maccam94> connor: there should be a settings or properties button for the applet in the configuration panel
[23:16] <connor> There isnt
[23:16] <maccam94> or you can try right clicking it and checking the properties
[23:16] <legend2440> tgm4883:             open nautilus then   edit>preferences>media
[23:16] <Kitu> Je suis away pour la raison suivant : mouahahha
[23:17] <adityag> i am in the apache directory, a@edubuntu:/etc/apache2$ ./configure --enable-mods-shared="rewrite" ::: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[23:17] <unop> !fr | Kitu
[23:17] <Lymies> I'm having a problem with sound. Whenever I use flash and any alsa-using application are mutually exclusive and using flash will usually not allow me to use any alsa application unless I reboot. This only started happening when I upgraded to the latest ubuntu version.
[23:17] <tgm4883_laptop_> legend2440, ah, thanks.  That looks to fix it.  Seems strange that it was moved from the other spot though
[23:17] <onur> How can i restore default compiz settings in Ubuntu?
[23:17] <solexious> [Q] What do i need to add to fstab to mount a smbfs share with no credentials needed? Tryed //192.168.0.102/Storage /home/nokomis/Desktop/Storage smbfs
[23:17] <alicec> how big can co linux process get? can it handle all 64 gigs or memory?
[23:18] <Kitu> sorry it was a little test :)
[23:18] <maccam94> brb
[23:18] <unop> adityag, that command you have there only applies if you are in the apache source directory and are trying to build apache from source -- but you are in the apache configuration directory now, so that wont work -- i think you want this command -  sudo a2enmod mod_rewrite
[23:18] <rabusmar> so, what can i do?
[23:18] <ApiphobicFlora> Anyone?  I'm trying to understand the partition system, what do I need to make manually when installing ubuntu?
[23:18] <prash> Hello: i want to know how to configure DHCP3  server in ubuntu to make ddns work :)
[23:19] <thehurley> hello, i'm running 8.04.  I recently ran "aptitude dist-upgrade", among other items that got upgraded, the kernel was upgraded from 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-16, now compiz has stopped working.  Anyone have advice?
[23:19] <adityag> unop: i am not in the source directory as i have already installed it, i want to enable mod_rewrite, is that the cmd ?
[23:19] <unop> adityag, or this actually.   sudo a2enmod rewrite
[23:19] <Kidfork> How can i dual-boot Freespire Linux with ubuntu?
[23:19] <lokuazzz> How can i check my memory ram?
[23:19] <W8TAH> thehurley, make sure that your restricted driver is running
[23:19] <connor> There arent many e 17 themes =/
[23:19] <Uplink> unop u help here 24/7 lol
[23:19] <legend2440> lokuazzz:  in terminal       sudo lshw
[23:19] <lokuazzz> thanks legend
[23:19] <thehurley> W8TAH whats that?
[23:19] <unop> adityag, i know you are not in the source directory (as i pointed out) -- so why are you using a ./configure command (that only applies to building from source)
[23:19] <adityag> unop:  is mod_rewrite and rewrite the same ???
[23:19] <thehurley> W8TAH i was using the open source driver
[23:20] <W8TAH> ok - then i have no idea
[23:20] <W8TAH> sorry
[23:20] <adityag> unop: i understood that after u pointed out
[23:20] <unop> adityag, in this context they are the same .. a2enmod actually knows to put a mod_ infront of the option you pass to it, so it actually enables mod_rewrite
[23:21] <dmhouse> How do you configure the keyboard shortcuts for Desktop Cube, for example?
[23:21] <Dezine> whats the difference between the rt kernel and generic?
[23:21] <unop> Uplink, actually no, i have other things to do - but i help in here as much as i can :)
[23:21] <danbhfive> Dezine: I think in general, rt is slower
[23:22] <adityag> unop: thank you!
[23:22] <danbhfive> Dezine: but I have no idea by how much
[23:22] <unop> adityag, yw, did it work/
[23:22] <unop> ?
[23:22] <dyek> Hi, (apologize for a possibly out-of-topic question;) on some systems, I found GTK+ always calls size_allocate() one more time after realize() and map(), but before expose(). However, on one Ubuntu system, I found that call sequence to be not true. Anybody here familiar if there was a design decision made in GTK+ to always call size_allocate() after realize() and map(), but before expose() so that it is convenient to allocate size-dependent X server r
[23:22] <dyek> esources in size_allocate()?
[23:22] <Dezine> I just installed the new kernel, say generic and picked it but I'm not sure there's a difference, so I guess if it works stick with it
[23:22] <MachinTrucChose> hi. anyone here use TrueCrypt?
[23:22] <Dezine> saw*
[23:22] <adityag> unop: yes, the 2nd cmd worked
[23:23] <ApiphobicFlora> What format should the / partition be?
[23:23] <DRebellion> ApiphobicFlora, usually ext2/3 on ubuntu
[23:23] <MachinTrucChose> ApiphobicFlora: anything. I use the default (ext3)
[23:23] <danbhfive> Dezine: unless you need the realtime kernel, you should go with generic
[23:23] <ApiphobicFlora> Cool thanks.
[23:24] <Dezine> now I have no sound :(
[23:24] <connor> are there any other good window managers?
[23:24] <connor> im liking e17
[23:24] <unop> dyek, you probably want to ask this question in #gtk+ -- ubuntu (or the apps written on ubuntu) tend to follow the api as set out by the gtk+ design team
[23:24] <RonLut> Why network gaming doesn't work (on ubuntu games)? It just not responding when clicking "connect"
[23:24] <connor> how can i access synaptic using e17?
[23:24] <Flannel> connor: Just run synaptic
[23:25] <mocha> Does anyone have some time to spare to help me resolve the "no flash sound using 64-bit"?
[23:25] <RMXltd> hi
[23:25] <RonLut> ?
[23:25] <alpha255> sound just worked for me
[23:26] <alpha255> sorry
[23:26] <RMXltd> autojoin to this channel? wow
[23:26] <RMXltd> see you guys
[23:26] <rabusmar> so, i cannot make deskbar work with firefox
[23:26] <Lymies> I'm having a problem with sound. Whenever I use flash and any alsa-using application are mutually exclusive and using flash will usually not allow me to use any alsa application unless I reboot. This only started happening when I upgraded to the latest ubuntu version.
[23:27] <alpha255> did you do an apt-get dist upgrade?
[23:27] <connor> flannel: how can i run synaptic, i dont have the icon on my application menu
[23:27] <Magicdead> Lymies: are you using pulseaudio? and if so, what version of flash?
[23:27] <dyek> unop: I did that in #gtk+. It was slow there, so I thought of trying my luck here. Thanks for your comment!
[23:27] <alpha255> connor: open terminal and use sudo synaptic
[23:28] <Lymies> Magicdead, I don't know what pulseaudio is.
[23:28] <MachinTrucChose> No one here uses Truecrypt?
[23:28] <alpha255> pulseaudio is the newere audio system from what i've read
[23:28] <ApiphobicFlora> Grr... how do I log in as root in ubuntu again?  Sorry I'm a noob
[23:28] <molgrum> is the rt kernel slower than the generic? i thought it was faster
[23:28] <Lymies> How do you tell if you're using pulseaudio?
[23:28] <darth> MachinTrucChose, i do
[23:28] <Magicdead> Lymies: it's a soundserver that is on top of alsa and allows multiple apps to acces the soundcard
[23:28]  * alpha255 likes pgp
[23:29] <MachinTrucChose> darth: can you create volumes bigger than 2gb in size?
[23:29] <DRebellion> connor, System => Administration => Synaptic Package Manager
[23:29] <DRebellion> !root | ApiphobicFlora
[23:29] <Magicdead> Lymies: uhm, ps aux |grep pulseaudio
[23:29] <stephenLappy> hey guys how goes it
[23:29] <alpha255> it goes
[23:29] <darth> MachinTrucChose, sure
[23:29] <Lymies> Magicdead, apparently, yes I am using pulsaudio, and how would I check what version if flash?
[23:29] <stephenLappy> I think I have a rather simple fix just not exactly sure the correct way to go about it...
[23:29] <alpha255> anyone setup tomcat and java on 8.04 server
[23:29] <erisco> ubuntu has never had me so pissed off. nothing, absolutely nothing is working
[23:29] <MachinTrucChose> darth: I can only select "FAT" as the filesystem. I thought that fs had a 2gb limitation?
[23:30] <Magicdead> Lymies: dpkg -l |grep flashplugin
[23:30] <erisco> for some reason denying tcp packets prevents gnome from starting up
[23:30] <erisco> WTF?
[23:30] <DRebellion> MachinTrucChose, 2gb for *individual* files
[23:30] <maccam94> connor: i'm back
[23:30] <stephenLappy> I have a ubuntu install on a harddrive... I added a new hardrive for my windows install.... but now I need to go back and add grub to do my dual boot
[23:30] <maccam94> connor: did you ask any questions?
[23:30] <DRebellion> erisco, gnome probably communicates with a local server over tcp
[23:30] <MachinTrucChose> DRebellion: so the partition can be 10gb?
[23:31] <Lymies> Magicdead, flashplugin-nonfree                        9.0.124.0ubuntu2
[23:31] <DRebellion> MachinTrucChose, i guess
[23:31] <MachinTrucChose> I see. Thanks.
[23:31] <connor> maccam94: how can i make the clock digital?
[23:31] <connor> not analog?
[23:31] <stephenLappy> because right now of course it just goes right in to windows because my master boot record was overwritten... which of course is actually an entirely new hardrive
[23:31] <alicec> ihow to mount                                                                     prodserling
[23:31] <erisco> DRebellion, but its so inconsistent and buggy
[23:31] <erisco> DRebellion, all I am trying to do is shut off internet access for a specific user
[23:31] <definitely> Anyone can recomend good "Screen Captureing" tool ?
[23:31] <erisco> DRebellion, and its been absolute hell for 5 hours now
[23:31] <Danish989> Can anyone tell me What the address for the ubuntu splash screen folder in hardy heron is?
[23:31] <DRebellion> erisco, how are you going about doing that?
[23:32] <Magicdead> Lymies: well, not sure if that's related to your problem bot flash 9 has some issues with pulseaudio, like the flash crashes and so on. usually flash 10 works better but that's still "beta"
[23:32] <erisco> DRebellion, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/disable-internet-access-for-particular-user-in-ubuntu.html
[23:32] <Lymies> Magicdead, how would I get that
[23:32] <arooni-mobile> i think something is very wrong with my ubuntu hardy desktop .... its running really slow, cpu utilization is really high, and i think that the disk is read only.....  also when i try to get a terminal ... the taskbar doesn't work ... how should i start fixing?
[23:32] <lokuazzz> Is there any other way to check my RAM besides lshw? seems for me lshw is very general.. is not giving me my exact amount of ram...
[23:32] <Magicdead> Lymies: wait a second
[23:32] <maccam94> connor: there might be a separate applet, 1 sec
[23:32] <connor> thanks maccam
[23:32] <jack-desktop> what compiz package is the animations in?
[23:33] <[magix]> chinese
[23:33] <amenado> lokuazzz-> yes there is..have you google for it yet?
[23:33] <Magicdead> Lymies: are you using a 64 or 32bit system?
[23:33] <Lymies> Magicdead, 32
[23:33] <maccam94> jack-desktop: compiz-fusion-plugins-main ﻿and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[23:33] <unop> MachinTrucChose, the maximum size of a FAT32 volume is quite big , so big you don't really have to worry about it even nowadays
[23:34] <definitely> Anyone KNOW, good tool for "Screen Capture" ?
[23:34] <Danish989> what is the location for splash screens in hardy heron?
[23:34] <Magicdead> Lymies: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/flashplugin-nonfree/download <-- download (open with gdebi) to install. but as i said i'm not sure if that solves the issue. it solved some issues for me
[23:34] <jack-desktop> maccam94, the animations plugin is in both packages?
[23:34] <lokuazzz> amenado yes.. i cant found anything using google:S this is why i come hereee can you help please?
[23:34] <amenado> lokuazzz-> sudo dmidecode
[23:34] <maccam94> connor: open your e17 menu, select modules, disable the clock module, and enable Tclock module, then add it to your shelf
[23:34] <maccam94> jack-desktop: i would assume it's in main
[23:34] <julius_> salut
[23:34] <julius_> ya des francais
[23:34] <jack-desktop> maccam94, using apt-get, how can i force it to reinstall?
[23:35] <amenado> !fr | julius
[23:35] <quentusrex> I'm trying to copy ssh keys from my desktop to my remote server so that I can log into it without a password.
[23:35] <Danish989> amenado: can u please tell me where the splash screens are in hardy heron?
[23:35] <MachinTrucChose> unop: this is not FAT32, it's FAT.
[23:35] <Magicdead> jack-desktop: apt-get -f
[23:35] <maccam94> jack-desktop: sudo apt-get install --reinstall blah
[23:35] <unop> jack-desktop, sudo apt-get install --reinstall package
[23:35] <quentusrex> But I keep coping the authorized_keys, but it still makes me type a password
[23:35] <lokuazzz> amenado that code is not giving my ram info
[23:36] <lokuazzz> is there any other way?
[23:36] <unop> MachinTrucChose, FAT12 or FAT16 tho ?
[23:36] <gregbrady> Nobody else having laptop overheating problems out there?
[23:36] <amenado> Danish989-> its possibly inside the initrd.gz  so you have to expand to see it
[23:36] <owen1> how to write in japanese (hardy)?
[23:36] <MachinTrucChose> unop: no idea, it just says "FAT"
[23:36] <jack-desktop> if i use '-d' for download only, where does it download it to?
[23:36] <alicec> how to mount /dev/cobd1 to /home ?
[23:36] <MachinTrucChose> unop: Iso I assumed
[23:36] <Danish989> amenado: I read somewhrere that they're stored in usr/share/pixmaps/splash/
[23:36] <MachinTrucChose> unop: sorry, I assumed it was FAT16.
[23:36] <amenado> lokuazzz-> did you do what I asked?
[23:37] <dmhouse> Hey all. I'm trying to configure the keyboard shortcuts for Desktop Cube, but I can't seem to find the correct area of the Advanced Desktop Effects configuration. I've looked in the 'Desktop Cube' and 'General Options' areas with no joy.
[23:37] <stephenLappy> sweet I found an app on ubuntu.com called Super Grub Disk
[23:37] <dmhouse> Any suggestions?
[23:37] <Danish989> amenado: ok, nevermind, found the folder :) thanks anyway
[23:37] <quentusrex> Does anyone know why I can't log into my server without a password?
[23:37] <unop> MachinTrucChose, nevertheless -- the limit of a FAT volume is about 8TB although most tools only recognize upto 147GB
[23:37] <lokuazzz> yes
[23:37] <quentusrex> I've run ssh-keygen -t rsa on my desktop
[23:37] <amenado> Danish989-> possibly, i have not digged deep to look into those
[23:37] <quentusrex> and no password in the key
[23:37] <quentusrex> and I scp'd it to the server
[23:37] <unop> jack-desktop, to the $PWD i guess
[23:38] <ApiphobicFlora> Does swap have to be primary?
[23:38] <lokuazzz> amenado i found what I wanted.. system monitor work for me.. its graphical jeje
[23:38] <amenado> quentusrex-> what is the ip addr of your server? may I try?
[23:38] <unop> ApiphobicFlora, no
[23:38] <lokuazzz> it gave me the ram info there :)
[23:38] <quentusrex> lol, no.
[23:38] <ApiphobicFlora> Should it be though?
[23:38] <amenado> lokuazzz-> there you go..being persistent helps a lot
[23:38] <unop> ApiphobicFlora, no
[23:38] <ApiphobicFlora> Logical then?
[23:39] <jack-desktop> is there anyway to download just the libanimation.so?
[23:39] <Magicdead> Lymies: ah and if flash 10 doesn't help, you could try step A & B on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[23:39] <unop> ApiphobicFlora, well, if you are using a msdos disklabel -- it can be anything -- doesn't really matter
[23:39] <ApiphobicFlora> K cool.
[23:39] <amenado> lokuazzz-> and you didnt get anything out of dmidecode?
[23:39] <lokuazzz> thanks.. does 3.8GiB is the same as 4.0gigas?.. since I install 4gb for my laptop.. but seems is detecting almost everything
[23:39] <ferfactor> hi anybpdy knows i can recieve the signal of some channels??
[23:40] <maccam94> jack-desktop: you could download the .deb file and open it in the archive program
[23:40] <amenado> ferfactor-> get bigger antenna? or more sensitive receiver?
[23:40] <lokuazzz> lokuaz it gave me a lot of hw info but not about ram, i didnt see anything
[23:40] <amenado> lokuazzz-> read the output again, you may learn a thing or two
[23:40] <definitely> Hey all, anyone know any good tool for Screen Capture ? :S
[23:40] <lokuazzz> im glad ubuntu detect my whole new RAM
[23:41] <Maps> <-- could use a hand setting up a printer attached on the network via a Dlink DNS-323, please.....
[23:41] <lokuazzz> automatic
[23:41] <lokuazzz> i was worry
[23:41] <lokuazzz> jeje
[23:41] <amenado> Maps-> whats a dlink dns-323? can you elaborate?
[23:42] <lastelement0> Hey all,
[23:42] <lastelement0> I've been trying to get CS:S to work under WINE for a while. I am currently on Ubuntu 8.04. I've managed to get Steam installed, and downloaded CS:S and installed it under Steam. This is where my troubles begin. I try to play a game and Steam just closes. It's not like my window closes, the whole process is killed. I've played with various settings, including turning of the Community in game as I heard that was a problem.
[23:42] <lastelement0> I was on WINE 1 but downgraded to 0.9.47 and was able to get it to load up, however the game just quit and messed up my resolution (zoomed everything in to about 680x400 or something similar).
[23:42] <lastelement0> Any assistance would be much appreciated.
[23:42] <unop> jack-desktop, why do you want just that file?
[23:42] <FloodBot1> lastelement0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:42] <Maps> amenado - the DNS-323 is a NAS with a USB port for a printer.  I can print fine from Windows, but when I "probe" for the printer from Ubuntu nothing happens...
[23:42] <lastelement0> my bad
[23:42] <gway9000> Maps: wireless
[23:42] <lokuazzz> amenado i found the command now.. the better one for ram info.. is this: cat /proc/meminfo
[23:42] <lokuazzz> very complete
[23:42] <legend2440> !screencast | definitely
[23:43] <jack-desktop> unop, i edited the file with ghex and i messed it up im guessing.
[23:43] <Maps> gway2000 yes, wireless but also wired :)
[23:43] <amenado> lokuazzz-> read the results of dmidecode again, and compare
[23:43] <jack-desktop> unop, because now it doesn't even display it in ccsm
 Thank you alot of:)

[23:43] <unop> jack-desktop, reinstall the compiz-fusion-plugins-main package
[23:43] <jack-desktop> unop, i would but i don't have the repos for the new compiz and im thinking it'll interfere
[23:43] <nickrud> poking bits into libs, that's fun :)
[23:44] <Maps> gway9000 yes, wireless but also wired :)
[23:44] <RonLut> ubuntu freezes every few minutes.... blinking. howo can I determine the problem?
[23:44] <amenado> Maps-> does the printer get its own ip address?  you have to kind of find out what NAS do in relations to lpd or  ipp or socket
[23:44] <unop> jack-desktop, well, which version of libanimation.so is this? i mean, which package?
[23:44] <Magicdead> RonLut: check the syslogs
[23:44] <gway9000> Maps: it will not see if connected via ethernet
[23:44] <RonLut> Magicdead: How do I do that and what should I search there?
[23:45] <jack-desktop> unop, i'm not sure -- yesterday i tried new repos for compiz and updated it to the newest version, then i removed the repos from sources.list
[23:45] <maccam94> lastelement0: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1554&iTestingId=26104
[23:45] <maccam94> scroll down to HOWTO
[23:45] <Maps> amenado, gway9000 - the printer doesn't get an IP.  The NAS runs a version of linux, and in Windows the printer shows up in the network neiborhood as NAS/lp
[23:45] <MidnightDevil> sup wussies :D
[23:45] <MidnightDevil> anything faster than crappy vnc?
[23:45] <Magicdead> RonLut: System->Systemsettings(or whatever the 2. entry in the menu is called ^^) ->Systemprotocol
[23:45] <maccam94> Midnight: NX
[23:45] <Danish989> is there any program to configure the usplash screen?
[23:46] <unop> jack-desktop, well, sounds like you need to reinstall this package with those repos enabled -- or revert back to the old ccsm package.  why were you hacking at this .so anyway?
[23:46] <Magicdead> RonLut: it's sorted by time, so you could note the time it crashes and look for errors around that time in the logs
[23:46] <amenado> Maps what does NAS provide as a service? what port? can you telnet to it? what authentication if any is required?
[23:46] <maccam94> Danish989: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[23:46] <jack-desktop> unop, i was trying to get the magic lamp effect to allow 0 max waves (i've done it many times)
[23:46] <Magicdead> RonLut: oh and i use a foreign-language version of ubuntu, so i have no clue what the menu entries are actually called....
[23:46] <maccam94> Danish989: er apparently that's out of date
[23:47] <Danish989> maccam94: what do you mean?
[23:47] <gway9000> Maps: you will have to connect it hard wire first to give it a static ip - you may have to use windows to do so if you dont have linux disk
[23:47] <maccam94> Danish989: well nvm it seems like it's the same mostly from edgy
[23:47] <Danish989> maccam94: I was just reading on the internet, all I want to do is change the grub screen when ubuntu is loading
[23:47] <maccam94> just read the intro
[23:47] <RonLut> Magicdead: I see there nothing in the time it happened (2 minutes ago)....
[23:47] <Magicdead> which reminds me, how can i switch my ubuntu to english? it somehow changed more and more to my native language over the years ^^
[23:47] <maccam94> Danish989: the grub screen or the splash screen?
[23:48] <Danish989> maccam94: the grub screen? isnt it also known as the Usplash screen?
[23:48] <Maps> amenado, gway9000 there's no way to give the printer an IP, and as I said it works okay in Windows, but the NAS seems to be running lpd
[23:48] <Magicdead> RonLut: in all the logs? like check syslog, kern.log debug and so on
[23:48] <cdavis> Can someon point me to why I get: libdvdread: Can't allocate memory for file read when trying to play a dvd in hardy? I have linstalled libdvdcss2
[23:48] <RonLut> Magicdead: checked all
[23:48] <RonLut> Magicdead: ﻿It's not really crashing. it's like going crazy for few seconds (everything is selected-deselected and blinking)
[23:48] <Danish989> maccam94: isnt 'splash' what you see after ubuntu is done loading and the desktop appears? I want to change the grub loader screen
[23:48] <maccam94> Danish989: oh wait this looks better: http://www.debianadmin.com/configure-grub-and-usplash-settings-using-simple-gui-interface-in-ubuntu.html
[23:48] <Lymies> Magicdead, I'm having trouble installing the flash plugin, I get dependency problems, it says this:  flashplugin-nonfree depends on libflashsupport (>> 1.9-0ubuntu1) | libasound2-plugins (>= 1.0.16); however:
[23:48] <Lymies>   Version of libflashsupport on system is 1.9-0ubuntu1.
[23:48] <Lymies>   Version of libasound2-plugins on system is 1.0.15-1ubuntu3.
[23:48] <unop> jack-desktop, well, sounds like fun .. but i guess you might need to reinstall using the same repos you used yesterday
[23:48] <gway9000> Maps: the printer is wireless no?
[23:48] <jack-desktop> unop, yeah i'm starting
[23:48] <maccam94> Danish989: there's the grub menu screen, and then there's the usplash splash screen
[23:48] <Magicdead> Lymies: ah yes, wait a second
[23:49] <Danish989> maccam94: what is the difference between those two?
[23:49] <Maps> amenado, gway9000 and the NAS does have a static IP, since it's the only system hardwired.  gway9000 the printer is on the USB port of the NAS which is running lpd
[23:49] <maccam94> Danish989: they're different parts of the boot process, and they are configured differently
[23:49] <Flannel> Danish989: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Boot%20splash%20images
[23:49] <solexious> [Q] Why is mounting failing from fstab, first line works, second fails: ive checked that the details are correct for ip and local folder
[23:49] <solexious> /192.168.0.102/Storage /home/nokomis/Desktop/Storage smbfs
[23:49] <solexious> /192.168.0.100/Torrents /home/nokomis/Desktop/Torrents smbfs
[23:49] <maccam94> Danish989: i'm pretty sure you're talking about usplash
[23:49] <MidnightDevil> maccam94 tks :)
[23:49] <Hans27> hi, i have o setup an ftp-server or a new client, l sue 8.04 w/proftpd and webmin but the clien wants it as cheap as possible and no more than 50 ppl will connect er week, space will be ?bout 2TB. Now here'sthe question, what?s the minimal conf such a rig would need (client wants it CHEAP)?
[23:49] <Flannel> Danish989: And ignore the }}}s, wiki switched software last night, looks like there are some artifacts
[23:49] <Magicdead> Lymies: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/libasound2-plugins/download install this first, that should do the trick
[23:49] <amenado> Maps  then try to connect to it from ubuntu as an lpd, use cups to set this up
[23:49] <jack-desktop> unop, it's done, lets see if i can mess it up again!
[23:49] <maccam94> Danish989: i'm pretty certain you want this: http://www.debianadmin.com/configure-grub-and-usplash-settings-using-simple-gui-interface-in-ubuntu.html
[23:50] <Maps> amenado, gway9000 - okay Ill look into CUPS, thanks!
[23:50] <amenado> Hans  virtualization
[23:50] <unop> solexious, can you connect to /192.168.0.100/Torrents by other means -- smbclient or nautilus for example?
[23:50] <Danish989> maccam94: sorry, got kicked off
[23:50] <Magicdead> RonLut: hum, could you explain the problem in a little more detail?
[23:50] <maccam94> Danish989: i'm pretty certain you want this: http://www.debianadmin.com/configure-grub-and-usplash-settings-using-simple-gui-interface-in-ubuntu.html
[23:51] <amenado> Maps you can test the lpd functionality from ubuntu, issue lpd commands such as lpr, lp admin, lp ..etc
[23:51] <solexious> unop, tryed with places->network for even the share that is working and i get nothing
[23:51] <Danish989> maccam94: yesh, that is what I wanted thanks :)
[23:51] <Maps> amenado, roger, thanks
[23:51] <unop> solexious, so does that mean it is working or not? lol
[23:51] <Danish989> maccam94: also, I made a stupid mistake by right clicking the Pidgen icon on the top panel and choosing remove from panel .. how do I bring that notifier thingy back? :(
[23:51] <jack-desktop> unop, got it this time, thanks for the help
[23:52] <unop> jack-desktop, yw
[23:52] <mattbradshaw> hi all ... i made the poor decision of trying to install the ati graphics drivers on my 8.04 install
[23:52] <mattbradshaw> having trouble undoing
[23:52] <maccam94> Danish989: in the buddy list window, go to tools, preferences
[23:52] <solexious> unop, well both dont show up using the network browser, but 102 mounts on start up with fstab
[23:52] <jack-desktop> when i log in, my window manager doesn't load and i have to click the fusion icon and select 'reload window manager', how can i fix this?
[23:52] <solexious> unop, its odd
[23:52] <Danish989> maccam94: thats not doing anything
[23:52] <maccam94> Danish989: Show System Tray Icon: Always
[23:52] <mattbradshaw> it looks like you guys aren't using xorg.conf to specify the drivers anymore?
[23:53] <RonLut> Magicdead: now it happened again: I clicked on the irc chat tab in the taskbar and it opened the chat without any content for 5 seconds... same happens for example when I'm typing something in terminal: the mouse and the "writing sign" starting to blink and behave crazy for about 10 seconds. :\
[23:53] <mattbradshaw> (apologies from an rhel/fedora guy)
[23:53] <maccam94> Danish989: then maybe pidgin is misbehaving, try closing/reopening
[23:53] <mattbradshaw> is there a generic driver?
[23:53] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: yeah you can still configure it, but the new xorg can apparently work without an xorg.conf
[23:53] <unop> solexious, so the mount point for 102 lists files properly but nautilus doesn't see the same files?
[23:53] <mattbradshaw> that i can use so things just work i can retackle tomorrow?
[23:53] <mattbradshaw> was looking in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
[23:53] <Magicdead> RonLut: hum, could be a problem with compiz, but i'm not sure.
[23:53] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: have you tried using the ATI control panel?
[23:53] <mattbradshaw> hoping to find vga_drv.so
[23:54] <Danish989> maccam94: I did, it's still not working ... I guess it'll be fine after a restart
[23:54] <Danish989> maccam94: thank's again
[23:54] <unop> solexious, try using smbclient instead of nautilus to test these shares.
[23:54] <maccam94> Danish989: oh wait
[23:54] <maccam94> i think i know what you did
[23:54] <maccam94> it won't fix itself
[23:54] <mattbradshaw> maccam94: no, as any ati commands i run (except fglrxinfo) will segfault
[23:54] <Magicdead> RonLut: you could try "metacity --replace &" in the terminal to deactivate compiz and look if it still happens. at least that could help us figure out what it is
[23:54] <RonLut> Magicdead: yes... that what other users said here too... maybe i'll cancel desktop effects for a while and see if the problem disappear
[23:55] <solexious> unop, how would i use smbclient to mount : //192.168.0.100/Torrents /home/nokomis/Desktop/Torrents smbfs
[23:55] <maccam94> Danish989: right click on some empty panel area, and click add to panel
[23:55] <kevinm_> anyone have a suggestion for an atheros based mini pci card for my laptop? im looking for something that gets a good signal, something comparable to intel 2200bg card
[23:55] <Drk_Guy> Hi guys, i'm trying to sign th Ubuntu Code Of Conduct, but it seems that seahorse is decrypting it while i open it, what can i do?
[23:55] <maccam94> Danish989: scroll down to Notification Area, and then drag it to the appropriate place on the panel
[23:55] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: did you reboot after installing the ati drivers from the restricted hardware manager?
[23:55] <unop> solexious, smbclient does not mount shares, it merely connects to them -- smbmount is used to mount shares
[23:55] <Danish989> maccam94: hey, that worked like a charm, thanks a lot :D
[23:56] <RonLut> Magicdead: lol yes... when doing it that way will it erase all my options in compiz or what? may I just go to Appearance settings and do no desktop effects?
[23:56] <Drk_Guy> Hi Magicdead, it worked
[23:56] <mattbradshaw> maccam94: yes, i have rebooted
[23:56] <maccam94> Danish989: no problem ;-)
[23:56] <mattbradshaw> maccam94: and depmod'd
[23:56] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: Icedtea made it
[23:56] <mattbradshaw> is there anyway to just configure xorg.conf w/ a generic driver
[23:56] <lastelement0> ﻿Hey all.  I've been trying to get CS:S to work under WINE for a while. I am currently on Ubuntu 8.04. I've managed to get Steam installed, and downloaded CS:S and installed it under Steam. This is where my troubles begin. I try to play a game and Steam just closes. It's not like my window closes, the whole process is killed. I've played with various settings, including turning of the Community in game as I heard that was a problem.
[23:56] <quentusrex> Can someone help me setup passwordless ssh login to a remote server?
[23:56] <Magicdead> RonLut: no it wont, it will just turn off compiz and switch to metacity, which is the "old" window-manager
[23:56] <solexious> unop, ok, im trying to work out smbclient, one sec
[23:56] <mattbradshaw> something that would work across devices?
[23:56] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: depmod should be unnecessary
[23:56] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: grats :)
[23:56] <quentusrex> for some reason it isn't working.....
[23:56] <andypls1> Does anyone know how to find a script that loads a specific module on my kernel on start-up?
[23:57] <gregbrady> My laptop now allows me to logon, it clears the screen to a brown background....sits there for five minutes then takes me back to the logon screen again.  I've tried this three times.

[23:57] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:57] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: Are you an ubuntero?
[23:57] <Magicdead> RonLut: when you reboot or do a "compiz --replace &" all your settings will be back to normal
[23:57] <Drk_Guy> maccam94: it's --phigh
[23:57] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: ubuntero?
[23:57] <mattbradshaw> maccam94: thanks!  doing that now
[23:57] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: did you install the drivers from restricted-hardware-manager?
[23:57] <Drk_Guy> Magicdead: Ubuntu code of conduct, launchpad?
[23:57] <maccam94> Drk_Guy: i don't think it matters...?
[23:57] <zaapiel> hai
[23:57] <jack-desktop> when i log in, my window manager doesn't load and i have to click the fusion icon and select 'reload window manager', how can i fix this?
[23:57] <mattbradshaw> maccam94: the first time i installed it via an expanding .sh (from ati's site); the second time i did an apt-get install...
[23:57] <mattbradshaw> so no
[23:57] <mattbradshaw> not from the restricted hardware manager
[23:57] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: nah, i just had my share of experience with the os :) been using it for 4-5 years now
[23:57] <RonLut> Magicdead: ok disabled compiz, now let's wait and see...
[23:57] <Drk_Guy> maccam94: it does, else, it would be like doign: -p -h -i-g-h ;)
[23:58] <zaapiel> i installed xubuntu, if i want ubuntu all i need to do is install it from the package manager?
[23:58] <maccam94> Drk_Guy: #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:58] <maccam94> quoted from /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:58] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: that might be your problem
[23:58] <Drk_Guy> lol Magicdead, anyway, you know how to prevent seahorse decripting a signed filed while i open it?
[23:58] <Eyemean> hi there, will ubuntu still be a safe when installed within windows as it would be on dedicated partition?
[23:58] <Drk_Guy> maccam94: Weird
[23:59] <Magicdead> Drk_Guy: i have no idea, sorry
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> Any ubuntero here?
[23:59] <unop> Drk_Guy, dpkg does not follow the posix or gnu recommendations for command line options -- it predates those specifications
[23:59] <solexious> unop and if i dont need a password?

[23:59] <arooni-mobile> top i'm typing to you on.
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> Ok unop
[23:59] <unop> solexious, i think you can leave it blank then
[23:59] <Drk_Guy> Thx Flannel
[23:59] <kevinm_> if i am worried about someone gaining physical access to my box, what should i do to prevent them from gaining root access? (like disable recovery mode boot etc)
[23:59] <Flannel> Eyemean: Yes.  The only difference is that it runs on NTFS.
[23:59] <maccam94> mattbradshaw: try using the .sh to uninstall the driver, then uninstall the apt package, then reinstall using the restricted-hardware-manager
