[00:00] <serwrf> It works for Ubutu sanctioned stuff
[00:00]  * Aragorn94 backdrifts
[00:00] <Blaqlight> serwrf, ubuntu is more secure, easier to use, and doesn't require patches of patches of patches to fix bugs.
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> serwrf: are you trying to install .exe's ?
[00:00] <bringatowel> serwrf, what application?
[00:00] <fox-guy> my pc is rebooted when synaptic runs intallation (dpkg)... how can i get a more accurate error message to show you guys?
[00:00] <serwrf> But not for stuff form yahoo and other locations
[00:00] <serwrf> I was trying to get Acrobat Reader
[00:00] <nickrud> serwrf not windows stuff, of course.
[00:00] <Steven1> serwrf: What's easier than doing 'sudo apt-get install update' and 'upgrade'?
[00:00] <serwrf> sudo apt????
[00:00] <serwrf> what's that???
[00:00] <Blaqlight> serwrf, also windows software is expensive.
[00:01] <NetEcho_> bringatowel,  nada
[00:01] <Steven1> serwrf: Or what's easier than doing 'sudo apt-get install wine' then getting Acrobat Reader?
[00:01] <nickrud> !apt | serwrf
[00:01] <serwrf> I've clicked on the Linux version of software to download it and after it downloads, the file is no where to be found!
[00:01] <bringatowel> serwrf, the easier way to install Acrobat Reader is to enable the Multiverse repository in System -> Admin -> Software sources
[00:01] <serwrf> I've never had such problems with Windows
[00:02] <Steven1> serwrf: That's because it's installed!
[00:02] <Blaqlight> lol
[00:02] <Steven1> serwrf: Ubuntu downloads and installs it for you!!
[00:02] <craigbass1976> Steven1, so, what if you ls /media/disk/
[00:02] <bringatowel> serwrf, its not a problem, its an option, quite easy once you get the idea :)
[00:02] <bringatowel> !multiverse
[00:02] <crusher_> anyone know how to install a .bz2 file
[00:03] <crusher_> any help is appreciated
[00:03] <bringatowel> !bzip
[00:03] <craigbass1976> crusher_, I think bunzip extracts it
[00:03] <Starnestommy> crusher_: extract it then read the readme and install files in it
[00:03] <nickrud> serwrf actually, if you take the time to learn how software management is done in ubuntu, you'll be much happier than you are with windows. The paradigm is different, true, but it's much more integrated and simple
[00:03] <serwrf> so is this APT website what I need?
[00:03] <serwrf> I just dont understand why its so complicated
[00:03] <craigbass1976> he's killin gme...
[00:03] <serwrf> With Windows, you just point and click
[00:03] <nickrud> !components | serwrf start here:
[00:03] <crusher_> Starnestommy how do I extract it!!!!
[00:04] <crusher_> I can see the files in it
[00:04] <serwrf> But with Ubuntu, I have to do research! Its making my head hurt
[00:04] <Steven1> serwrf: Apt isn't a website. It's a command you enter in terminal. I believe the command to open terminal is Alt+F2
[00:04] <craigbass1976> serwrf, right, and that's one reason so many people break their boxes...
[00:04] <Blaqlight> serwrf, how is sudo apt-get install [softwarename] complicated?
[00:04] <Starnestommy> crusher_: if it's a .tar.bz2, click on it or use tar xjf filename.tar.bz2
[00:04] <bringatowel> serwrf, go to System -> Admin -> Software sources and check mark the "Multiverse" option
[00:04] <Steven1> craigbass1976: http://pastebin.org/46861
[00:04] <nickrud> serwrf and then you have every mother and their son constantly popping up and trying to update. Annoying as all get out
[00:04] <craigbass1976> serwrf, yeah, trying running linux-from-scratch
[00:05] <neyugn> does anyone know how to fix desktop icons disappearing?
[00:05] <bringatowel> crusher_, isn't there an extract button or something?
[00:05] <crusher_> Starnestommy do I use the tar xjf filename from the terminal
[00:05] <Starnestommy> crusher_: yes
[00:05] <Steven1> serwrf: Ubuntu is one of the easiest Linux distributions to learn.
[00:05] <craigbass1976> Steven1, so your /home directory is on a different partition.  what's ls /dev/disk-1 give you?
[00:05] <Starnestommy> crusher_: you might need to change directories to where you put the file first
[00:05] <Dream> hm, ubu finnaly booted
[00:06] <serwrf> sudo apt is complicated because I dont know what it is.
[00:06] <sabotank> ;x
[00:06] <craigbass1976> neyugn, sometimes david copperfield has been known to hack in and make them disappear.  Says it is harder than a lot of his other tricks...
[00:06] <serwrf> How long does all of this take to learn?
[00:06] <sabotank> could anyone tell me how to unsymlink something?
[00:06] <Dream> magnetron: ^^ happy now
[00:06] <Steven1> craigbass1976: I got a 'No such file or directory'. I think it's because disk-1 is Vistas partition.
[00:06] <jZed> I hosed python with an interupted install from Dapper now it's too new to do anything, how do I go back to Dapper or on to Hardy (the goal)?
[00:06] <craigbass1976> serwrf, it's like windows update
[00:06] <SebNaitsabes>  I got the latestest closed source Virtualbox inside Ubuntu.  When I do settings for any VM this message comes up:  http://pastebin.com/d5440672   and yes  it must be to do with that, why it seems my USB stick for example won't be detected.  any ideas?
[00:06] <craigbass1976> Steven1, then that makes me wonder where ubuntu is.
[00:06] <sabotank> could anyone tell me how to unsymlink something?, I'm having trouble because of a symlink I did and I dunno how to reverse it :/
[00:06] <neyugn> craigbass1976: ok...
[00:06] <craigbass1976> sabotank, unlink linkname
[00:06] <Steven1> serwrf: You open terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install whatever' Where whatever is the file you want. It's easy!
[00:06] <Corkster> 17:57 <Lisa1340> Howareu? Do you want to seemypictures? http://www.geocities.com/cherrty87
[00:06] <magnetron> Dream: ok, how did you do it?
[00:07] <Corkster> 17:57 -!- Lisa1340 [n=Lisa1340@222.142.214.27]
[00:07] <Corkster> everyone else gettin that
[00:07] <teethdood> Virtualbox does not do SMP :( I have a dual core
[00:07] <FloodBot1> Corkster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:07] <sabotank> craigbass1976, thanks mate :)
[00:07]  * Dream needs a 3rd harddrive
[00:07] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: was that a reply to me?
[00:07] <craigbass1976> sabotank, you an aussie?
[00:07] <serwrf> so for the wahtever you want part, I guess I put acrobat reader???
[00:07] <magnetron> Dream: how did you fix your problem?
[00:07] <ShinjinAkage> Can someone help me get desktop effects on? When I try to turn them on it says "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[00:08] <Dream> magnetron: no idea really, i just renamed a file that i dont think i should have renamed
[00:08] <rabelais> ya ban Lisa...
[00:08] <rainwalker> ShinjinAkage: what does "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" tell you?
[00:08] <rabelais> someone gline that ip
[00:08] <Starnestommy> rabelais: Lisa1340?
[00:08] <Blaqlight> serwrf, goto the websites and read up on it, soon it will make perfect sense.
[00:08] <Dream> magnetron: D:\ubuntu\winboot < renamed to boot +_+'
[00:08] <rabelais> yes Starnestommy
[00:08] <crusher_> Starnestommy whenever I try to use the tar xjf I get the follwing error message...
[00:08] <bringatowel> Steven1, why are you telling him to use command line? if he wants to have a graphic user interface, Synaptic package manager is perfect, or even Applications -> Add/remove
[00:08] <serwrf> ok
[00:08] <magnetron> Dream: wow
[00:08] <Starnestommy> rabelais: I'll see what can be done about it.  Thanks for the heads up
[00:08] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: no, I was just saying cuz I need a virtual machine too
[00:08] <Dream> magnetron: dont think i should have renamed it but i did
[00:08] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Linux as I think I said before is on partitions hdb2, hdb3, and hdb4. Vista is on hdb1.
[00:08] <rabelais> welcome   :)
 17:57 -!- Lisa1340 [n=Lisa1340@222.142.214.2
[00:08] <ShinjinAkage> rainwalker: How do I tell what it says?
[00:08] <serwrf> but is there a version of linux where I dont have to go read stuff?
[00:09] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: well I got the cloused source version which is meant to suppourt USB
[00:09] <magnetron> Dream: and that solved your problem?
[00:09] <serwrf> I never had to read anything with Windows
[00:09] <bringatowel> ShinjinAkage, what type of video card do you have?
[00:09] <rainwalker> ShinjinAkage: run it in a terminal
[00:09] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood:  ,but the error message as I said,  which I am assuming is to do with my host OS Ubuntu
[00:09] <craigbass1976> Steven1, sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt
[00:09] <Dream> magnetron: yes, and it said nothing about renaming files on the wiki
[00:09] <rainwalker> serwrf: read stuff? as in...what stuff?
[00:09] <bringatowel> serwrf, to install Acrobat Reader, go to System -> Admin -> Software sources and check mark the "Multiverse" option
[00:09] <craigbass1976> Steven1, then ls /mnt
[00:09] <Steven1> bringatowel: I find it simpler to use terminal than to search up packages in synaptic. But it's good for him to start with.
[00:09] <Dream> magnetron: going to play around on ubu, see if it has efected anything ^^
[00:09] <serwrf> «Blaqlight» serwrf, goto the websites and read up on it, soon it will make perfect sense.
[00:09] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: what makes you go with virtualbox closed source and not vmware
[00:10] <serwrf> rainwalker, this is what Blaq sent: «Blaqlight» serwrf, goto the websites and read up on it, soon it will make perfect sense.
[00:10] <Steven1> craigbass1976: I did that and it went to the next line. No Output, no errors.
[00:10] <ShinjinAkage> rainwalker: What specific part do you want?
[00:10] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: VMware there was isues with sound and so on. hell even Internet connection when I did XP
[00:10] <crusher_> Starnestommy it gives me an error that says tar: cinelerra.tar.bz2:cannot open: No such file or directory
[00:10] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: that's VMware player
[00:10] <bringatowel> Steven1, sure, once you have experience that is even easier to use, but if someone would prefer point-and-click, that is certainly available :)
[00:10] <rainwalker> ShinjinAkage: put the whole output on pastebin; desktop effects aren't my strong point but someone else might be able to help
[00:10] <Steven1> serwrf: Exactly. You think all these experts in here automatically knew everything? They had to research too and read books (Gasp!).
[00:11] <bringatowel> serwrf, are you still trying to install Acrobat Reader?
[00:11] <Starnestommy> crusher_: cd to the directory where that file is first
[00:11] <crusher_> Starnestommy so you were saying something about moving the file into a different directory
[00:11] <serwrf> yes
[00:11] <Dream> magnetron: *is scared* seems to be fine
[00:11] <serwrf> but I'll have reboot into Ubuntu to give it another try
[00:11] <crusher_> Starnestommy I will try that
[00:11] <bringatowel> serwrf, to install Acrobat Reader, go to System -> Administration -> Software sources and check mark the "Multiverse" option
[00:11] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: plus Virtualbox has the advantage of being able to use VMware machines, without needing a VMware config file for them :)
[00:11] <bringatowel> err go to
[00:11] <Steven1> serwrf: Install Wine. I believe all the instructions are on the website for wine.
[00:11] <rainwalker> serwrf: it's called learning. you moved to a new OS, you're going to have to learn.
[00:11] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: ok so I guess I'll try out virtualbox closed source, see if I can duplicate that problem. I actually want to run an already installed windows as a virtual device
[00:11] <serwrf> what's multiverse?
[00:11] <Blaqlight> serwrf, believe it or not, we all had to start somewhere. we weren't born knowing this stuff.
[00:11] <serwrf> I'll google Wine
[00:12] <Steven1> Also listen to bringatowel.
[00:12] <ShinjinAkage> http://pastebin.com/m514f40a7 <output from SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz
[00:12] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: physical install?
[00:12] <bringatowel> Steven1, there is no need to install Wine, Acrobat Reader is available in Multiverse
[00:12] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: yes
[00:12] <serwrf> ok
[00:12] <ab2b> hello how do I configure my pc to be a repository for other pc's?
[00:12] <Steven1> serwrf: Wine is really helpful. A multiverse repository is just a source for packages(apps).
[00:12] <bringatowel> serwrf, have you enabled the Multiverse option?
[00:12] <yurimxpxman> I can't change the resolution in zsnes.. doesn't seem to give me any reason for the error. Any ideas?
[00:12] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: ah yes,  wanted to do that myself before,  tryed some stuff, but  didn't really get that far, aslo by what I read, so much that can go badly wrong with that
[00:12] <Steven1> bringatowel: Sorry thought Reader was Wine only.
[00:13] <greenmanspirit> hey, does anyone know if there is a way to get flash to work in firefox like it does on windows? layering stuff correctly? or at least know why it messes up in the first place
[00:13] <bringatowel> yurimxpxman, probably check out #zsnes
[00:13] <serwrf> Gotta exit chan to get into Ubuntu
[00:13] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: you can use VMware converter to convert your pshyical XP  I assume it's XP  into a VM
[00:13] <serwrf> I have the live ced
[00:13] <serwrf> cd
[00:13] <rainwalker> ShinjinAkage: arg...that looks way more complicated than I thought it would be...ask about installing XGL, that's what it looks like you're missing
[00:13] <serwrf> But am in Windows XP right now
[00:13] <ShinjinAkage> I did install it
[00:13] <serwrf> anymore advice before I restart PC?
[00:13] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Did you see my message about there not being any output of 'mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt'?
[00:13] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: install VMware converter into your psyical  XP install and convert with that, however it will basically make the VM the size of your XP partition, so you need some where to put it
[00:13]  * Dream loves 1 bit of ubuntu
[00:13] <rainwalker> greenmanspirit: besides getting adobe to actually put some effort into it?
[00:13] <Blaqlight> the live cd has xchat on it right?
[00:13] <craigbass1976> Steven1, oops.  sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb3 /mnt
[00:14] <SeaPhor> ops, what is this?   <Lisa1340> Howareu? Do you want to checkmyhomepage? http://www.geocities.com/cherrty87 in PM
[00:14] <Dream> you know the "preview" of music? when you hover tracks...that bit ^^
[00:14] <serwrf> not that I know of
[00:14] <Blaqlight> or irrsi?
[00:14] <fox-gu2> synaptic is bringing me infinite reboots... what can i do to find out what's happening?
[00:14] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: it's a spammer that just got killed
[00:14] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: also if you do that, make sure it makes one big  VMware vmdk file, because Virtualbox can't deal with more than one like that.  can't deal with a split VMware VM
[00:14] <serwrf> where do I get xchat?
[00:14] <rainwalker> Dream: I agree, I love that feature
[00:14] <serwrf> and how do I get it to run?
[00:14] <fox-gu2> buggy reboots
[00:14] <Mr_Giraffe> hi, for some reason i can't get nvidia-glx to work on my computer at all
[00:14] <rainwalker> serwrf: I believe you can just install it via Synaptic or run "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[00:14] <greenmanspirit> rainwalker: i have been wondering if it is an adobe issue or firefox
[00:14] <fox-gu2> i think it has to do with lib-gnome-desktop2
[00:14] <SeaPhor> Starnestommy, Thank you
[00:14] <serwrf> ok
[00:14] <Blaqlight> xchat is an irc client so that you can get back here from within ubuntu
[00:14] <rainwalker> greenmanspirit: as far as I've been able to figure out, it's adobe
[00:15] <Steven1> craigbass1976: http://pastebin.org/46864
[00:15] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: it wasn't me who got rid of it
[00:15] <Mr_Giraffe> i'm trying to play assaultcube and every time i run i get this message: Unable to create OpenGL screen (Couldn't find matching GLX visual)
[00:15] <SeaPhor> Starnestommy, is there a better/faster way to report that?
[00:15] <serwrf> so after I google and download it, I type sudo apt-... and it'll install?
[00:15] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: join #freenode or PM me or another staff member
[00:15] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: I'm gonna run Ubuntu for a dental office which need to run certain apps (X-rays etc) on windows. Virtualbox should be able to get all the USB connections etc right?
[00:15] <SebNaitsabes> Mr_Giraffe: install envyng  sudo apt-get install envyng  that should help you out a lot
[00:15] <serwrf> sudo apt-get install xchat?
[00:15] <Blaqlight> no google and download.
[00:16] <Steven1> serwrf: No need to google it. You can just type 'sudo apt-get install whatever the name is'
[00:16] <greenmanspirit> rainwalker: alrighty, that has to be the biggest bump in my linux life because so many sites have little bits of flash here and there
[00:16] <Blaqlight> you can install it from within the OS
[00:16] <chubbyhubby> serwrf: just issue that command .. it'll do all the hard work for you
[00:16] <SebNaitsabes> Mr_Giraffe: it will make sure you got the right driver installed
[00:16] <rainwalker> serwrf: you don't have to google anything
[00:16] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: you could also report it to #ubuntu-ops
[00:16] <ab2b> hello can someone please advise me on how to get my box to act as the server to get packages off?
[00:16] <Mr_Giraffe> SebNaitsabes, what is the right driver?
[00:16] <Steven1> serfwrf: Exactly.
[00:16] <craigbass1976> Steven1, ok, umount /mnt and then run the second mount command again
[00:16] <Blaqlight> serwrf, yes exactly
[00:16] <Fenix-Dark> i'm trying to install the nvidia drivers for my 9600GT with mythbuntu 8.04. i can't seem to get it working, i'm open to suggestions
[00:16] <bringatowel> serwrf, actually just go here and choose the .deb option: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html
[00:16] <rainwalker> greenmanspirit: agreed, it's a real pain
[00:16] <craigbass1976> Steven1, sudo umount /mnt
[00:16] <SebNaitsabes> Mr_Giraffe: the program will find that out for you and then install it :)
[00:16] <Mr_Giraffe> uh...
[00:16] <serwrf> THANKS
[00:16] <Mr_Giraffe> envyng doesn't exist.
[00:16] <Corkster> envyng works well
[00:17] <joshual> hey, anyone use lmms, or hydrogen? I'm running on hardy, and cant seem to get audio working in either app
[00:17] <bringatowel> Steven1, actually it looks like its not on multiverse, hmm thought it was
[00:17] <Steven1> craigbass1976: 'umount /dev/hdb3 /mnt' ?
[00:17] <hydrogen>   NO
[00:17] <SebNaitsabes> Mr_Girafee: oh yeah it does, but the package is called  something else hang on
[00:17] <hydrogen> you highlighted me
[00:17] <hydrogen> now
[00:17] <hydrogen> die
[00:17] <serwrf> so after getting the .deb option then I type sudo apt-get install xchat?
[00:17] <craigbass1976> Steven1, yes, prefaced by sudo though
[00:17] <Corkster> apt-get install envyng-core
[00:17] <craigbass1976> Steven1, no!!!!
[00:17] <bringatowel> !nvidia | Fenix-Dark
[00:17] <serwrf> I mean sudo apt-get install adobe?
[00:17] <craigbass1976> Steven1,    sudo umount /mnt
[00:17] <Steven1> bringatowel: I don't know. I thought it was available for Linux distros on the Adobe website.
[00:17] <rainwalker> serwrf: no, double-click the .deb and install it
[00:18] <craigbass1976> Steven1, sorry, kid's in my lap again wanting to press buttons ad so forth
[00:18] <serwrf> but to "install" it I type sudo apt-get install adobe????
[00:18] <bringatowel> serwrf, save the .deb file then double blick and install it (what rainwalker said)
[00:18] <Blaqlight> rainwalker, he's in windows.
[00:18] <SebNaitsabes> Mr_Giraffe: yeah what Corkster said  apt-get install envyng-core.  well  you want a GUI for that so.  sudo apt-geti nstall envyng-gtk
[00:18] <Fenix-Dark> bringatowel, it would be convienent if the nvidia drivers showed up in the restricted driver manager...
[00:18] <serwrf> But the prob is that the .deb file never showed up anywhere!
[00:18] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: have you tryed Wine?  the latest Wine.  uhmmmmmmm  you won't get that off the Ubuntu network
[00:18] <rainwalker> Blaqlight: wait, what? windows?
[00:18] <bringatowel> Steven1, yup it is
[00:18] <serwrf> I could never find it!
[00:18] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Ok I did 'sudo umount /mnt' and got no error output or anything at all.
[00:18] <fox-gu2> excuse me, my dearest.. i am having a bit of trouble running dpkg through synaptic.. something buggy is rebooting without warning
[00:18] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: but you can add the repo so you always get the latest Ubuntu Wine :)
[00:19] <Blaqlight> serwrf, are you in windows or ubuntu?
[00:19] <bringatowel> serwrf, in linux save the .dev and remember where you save it
[00:19] <chubbyhubby> serwrf: as long as you are connected to the internet ... if you go into the terminal and type in the command it will automatically install the program for you
[00:19] <Mr_Giraffe> SebNaitsabes, i don't need a gui :P
[00:19] <Steven1> bringatowel: You probably have to compile it though. Real pain.
[00:19] <craigbass1976> Steven1, you won't; it just does it.  Now sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb3 /mnt
[00:19] <TwoD> serwrf, in Ubuntu you can type "sudo apt-get install package_name" to automatically download a package from the Ubuntu (and 3rd-party) repositories, which are basically lists of programs you can get for free. It's what "Add/Remove" and the "Synaptic Package Manager" does in the background.
[00:19] <craigbass1976> Steven1, and then do another ls
[00:19] <serwrf> currently Windows
[00:19] <serwrf> but headed to Ubuntu
[00:19] <serwrf> have to reboot because I use live dc
[00:19] <serwrf> cd
[00:19] <Mr_Giraffe> oh, huh
[00:19] <Mr_Giraffe> well this is convenient
[00:19] <bringatowel> chubbyhubby, he is trying to install acrobat reader
[00:19] <Mr_Giraffe> also, it appears my xorg.conf is practically empty...
[00:20] <rainwalker> why acrobat reader, anyway? what's wrong with evince and kpdf?
[00:20] <Steven1> craigbass1976: ls -f right?
[00:20] <bringatowel> TwoD, acrobat reader is not in any main repositories is it?
[00:20] <chubbyhubby> bringatowel -- i thought he was trying to install xchat
[00:20] <craigbass1976> Steven1, just ls is fine.  I'm looking for direectories
[00:20] <Steven1> xchat was on the list.
[00:20] <bringatowel> chubbyhubby, maybe that as well
[00:20] <Fenix-Dark> bringatowel, what do i do, it doesnt show the nvidia drivers in the restricted driver manager
[00:20] <Blaqlight> serwrf, it would be MUCH easier if you booted the CD then came back here.
[00:20] <chubbyhubby> bringatowel, --- is your name a hitchhiker's reference?
[00:21] <Steven1> craigbass1976: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls
[00:21] <Steven1> Desktop  Documents  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos
[00:21] <TwoD> bringatowel, I didn't say that. Was merely stating what the line he asked about meant. ;)
[00:21] <chubbyhubby> bringatowel, or a south park reference?
[00:21] <Madpilot> rainwalker, acroread has better printing for a lot of docs, and it's still the reference for all readers. It's also a bloated pile that takes way too long to start...
[00:21] <rainwalker> Madpilot: that's my point
[00:21] <bringatowel> Fenix-Dark, did you enable proprietary drivers in the software sources?
[00:22] <jamie> hey wondering if someone can help me.. i cant find xmms in add/remove apps
[00:22] <jamie> how do i install it?
[00:22] <craigbass1976> Steven1, what the...  ok, sudo umount /mnt and then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb4 /mnt and then ls again
[00:22] <bringatowel> chubbyhubby, it was than or pan-galactic gargleblaster
[00:22] <SebNaitsabes> jamie: sudo apt-get install xmms
[00:22] <Fenix-Dark> bringatowel, i guess not, how do i do that?
[00:22] <bringatowel> *that or
[00:22] <SebNaitsabes> jamie: the terminal
[00:22] <Blaqlight> serwrf, when you have the live cd loaded type into a terminal sudo apt-get install xchat then find your way back here.
[00:22] <crusher_> Starnestommy: I am having a real hard time with this
[00:22] <bringatowel> Fenix-Dark, System -> Administration -> Software sources
[00:23] <beastax> why isnt xmms in the repos for hardy
[00:23] <beastax> ?
[00:23] <TwoD> Bleh, anyone who's got a checklist on what might be wrong when samba stops showing shares, which worked fine a while ago? Other comp is running XP.
[00:23] <Steven1> craigbass1976: http://pastebin.org/46867
[00:23] <fox-gu2> hello.. i am getting real reboots when running dpkg.. i think it has sth to do with lib-gnome-dekstop2... what should i do?
[00:23] <bringatowel> !xmms | beastax
[00:23] <teethdood> SebNaitsabes: it's impossible to run proprietary windows apps under wine. These are very specific stuff (X-ray interface software, business management etc)
[00:23] <crusher_> Starnestommy I don't know how to change to the directory where the cinelerra file is....
[00:23] <Steven1> beastax: I think the newest one is for gutsy.
[00:23] <Starnestommy> crusher_: cd /path/to/the/file
[00:23] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: might run with some tweaking
[00:23] <craigbass1976> Steven1, oh, ok.  ls /mnt
[00:24] <beastax> audacious is a bit big isnt it?
[00:24] <jamie> E: Package xmms has no installation candidate
[00:24] <jamie> ;[
[00:24] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: but sure better off with the VM I expect in this case
[00:24] <crusher_> Starnestommy but the file is in a temporary file
[00:24] <bringatowel> beastax, you just want something to play music? try amarok or rthymbox
[00:24] <SebNaitsabes> teethdood: and Micosoft Office 2003 with the exception of Access and Photoshop CS2 and what not run great under Wine
[00:24] <Steven1> craigbass1976: http://pastebin.org/46868
[00:25] <beastax> will they support mp3s?
[00:25] <SebNaitsabes> !mp3
[00:25] <bringatowel> oh sure of course :)
[00:25] <craigbass1976> Steven1, you kept doing an ls on your home dir, and I forgot to tell you to ls /mnt instead of just ls.  f
[00:25] <beastax> rhythmbox is a huge window
[00:25] <beastax> i want something small and winamp like
[00:25] <jamie> yeah xmms was the closest thing to winamp
[00:25] <jamie> everything else sucks
[00:25] <craigbass1976> Steven1, Aha!  sudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:25] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Yeah I was wondering if something was screwy. I asked and you said 'ls' by itself should be fine.
[00:25] <SebNaitsabes> you can install Winamp in Wine if you want it
[00:26] <crusher_> Starnestommy I see the file name...which is /cinelerra-2.1.  But when I type that into terminal it just keeps telling me no file or directory exists
[00:26] <Steven1> craigbass1976: BINGO!
[00:26] <Starnestommy> crusher_: what's its exact location?
[00:26] <craigbass1976> Steven1, that should put you in the grub config file.  I have to tend to my kid.  See if someone can give you a hand with that file.  there is a #grub room if no one here can
[00:26] <bringatowel> beastax, try something like esperanza or vlc
[00:26] <fox-gu2> !reboot
[00:27] <eboyjr> !restart
[00:27] <SebNaitsabes> !wine
[00:27] <TwoD> beastax, check out xmms2 as well. It's not as flashy as winamp, but you can run different GUIs depending on what you want. If you want something really small, like me, try the xmms2tray client for xmms2, it's just a systray icon, but it can also launch other GUI clients if you have them.
[00:27] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Alright thanks for everything thus far.
[00:27] <ab2b> pls can someone respond! I am trying to find out how to get other pc boxes to get their packages off my box which I have downloaded repositories
[00:27] <crusher_> Starnestommy cinelerra originally was downloaded into a temporary file
[00:27] <crusher_> Starnestommy I have downloaded cinelerra about 3 different times
[00:27] <craigbass1976> Steven1, and you may want to copy this paste into something and print it out.  the commands are handy (mount, fdisk) when poop hits fans and you need to see what's where
[00:27] <bringatowel> amarok also has a good tray icon
[00:27] <ab2b> I have used debmirror for my box and it works
[00:27] <eboyjr> Hello, how can I view the names of the serial ports in Ubuntu?
[00:27] <Fenix-Dark> bringatowel, i went to the sources windows, and check boxed proprietary drivers, it still does not show up in the proprietary drivers window
[00:27] <ab2b> but now
[00:27] <crusher_> Starnestommy and I can see all 3 different dates that the file was downloaded
[00:27] <beastax> audacious is pretty small actually
[00:27] <yurimxpxman> is there a command to automatically configure your xorg.conf file for an nvidia driver?
[00:27] <ab2b> I want other boxes to refer to mine to update
[00:27] <Steven1> Can someone help me edit my grub menu.lst to include Vista?
[00:28] <crusher_> Starnestommy I downloaded it using Opera
[00:28] <Steven1> craigbass1976: Thanks.
[00:28] <Starnestommy> crusher_: try downloading it again but save it to a specific place
[00:28] <crusher_> Starnestommy so that is where it has shown up
[00:28] <Blaqlight> good lawd. this is taking forever, I miss the days of highspeed internet.
[00:28] <crusher_> Starnestommy ok I will try saving it somewhere else
[00:28] <bringatowel> Fenix-Dark, hmm try running "sudo apt-get update" or
[00:28] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  open termianl and  sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:28] <Starnestommy> crusher_: I have to go eat dinner now, but someone else in the channel can probably help you while I'm away
[00:29] <gardar> anyone here that has experience with opening .pic and .idx from dvr camera on ubuntu?
[00:29] <bringatowel> Fenix-Dark, or try installing envy-ng: "sudo apt-get install envy-ng"
[00:29] <crusher_> Starnestommy:  Thanks for your assistance
[00:29] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: I have the file opened already. I just don't know what to type in there for Vista.
[00:30] <malomalo> i'm running hardy and the system can't find apache2-ssl-certificate, i'm trying to generate a self-signed certificate, anyone have any helpfull advice
[00:30] <WindowSmasher> Hi all. I'm getting an error when starting banshee "DBus is not available" any help?
[00:30] <Fenix-Dark> bringatowel, couldn't find package envy-ng
[00:30] <SeaPhor> isnt cinelerra in the repos?
[00:30] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: by the way you can run Windows inside Ubuntu if you want
[00:30] <fox-guy> i get constant and buggy reboots running synaptic
[00:30] <fox-guy> what can i do ?
[00:30] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: This is what mine looks like: http://pastebin.org/46869. What do I need to change to add Vista to the list?
[00:31] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: No that's ok. I did that for a while. It requires way too much resources and isn't compatible with 3d graphics.
[00:31] <jamie> TwoD: what do you use with the tray icon
[00:32] <beastax> im copying a load of files from a vfat drive to a fuseblk (ntfs-3g) drive, and keep getting this error when it hits a file with any kind of special character:
[00:32] <beastax> Error opening file '/mnt/500/mp3s/Davey Graham/Davey Graham/1965-69 Folk Blues all Point in Between (V-OR_CD-CO)/Davey Graham - Folk Blues And All Points In Between - 15 - I�m Ready.mp3': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
[00:32] <beastax> can anyone help please?
[00:32] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: well VMware has experimental 3D suppourt
[00:32] <TwoD> jamie, what do you mean?
[00:32] <etronik> hey all!
[00:33] <jamie>  it's just a systray icon, but it can also launch other GUI clients if you have them
[00:33] <jamie> you use a gui client?
[00:33] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ah well it'd be a lot easier if I just did it this way. Also, I already have Windows Physically installed so having it Virtually installed would just be a waste of space.
[00:34] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  which Vista version?
[00:34] <beastax> anyone?
[00:34] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Although when I try to boot into Ubuntu from the grub it hangs loading the desktop oddly enough.
[00:34] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ultimate
[00:34] <jakob> Hello! I am having trouble with my ubuntu box. Recently upgraded to 8.04. Now the machine tends to have extreme hard disk activity for about 20 minutes. In this time I can't do anything on it.
[00:34] <jakob> Can someone help?
[00:34] <jamie> xmmd2tray comes up with could not connect to the xmms2 daemon
[00:34] <kahrytan> !paste
[00:35] <Blaqlight> jamie, xmms2tray requires xmmsto run
[00:35] <Steven1> D'er
[00:35] <Steven1> lol
[00:35] <Blaqlight> jamie, sudo aptitude install xmms2
[00:36] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: You still there?
[00:36] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: oh right thought it would have been Home Premium or something.  and if it had been then,  I would have said something like.  oh right well  it's agaisnt the agreement to do Home Premium in a VM
[00:36] <TwoD> jamie, ah, it's actually a GUI client just like the others, but it has start/pause/stop/fwd/bwd buttons in a meny when you click on it, as well as the names of other installed GUI clients. It doesn't even have a playlist window but leaves that to other clients. Great when you simply need to pause a track, do something and then start it again without bringing up a complete client. Xmms2 also allows multiple (or no) GUI clie
[00:36] <TwoD> nts to run at the same time, and stay synced with the server. So I can always keep the trayicon there even if I'm using another client.
[00:36] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ah ok.
[00:37] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  this should help for Vista  you can call the entry whatever you want,  and  it has to be for your partition  the number.  the partition number is the most important thing here, since if it's the wrong one it won't boot.  http://pastebin.com/d7bad8fc9
[00:37] <beastax> please?
[00:37] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: and yes the chain loader thing is just what is put for a Windows in Grub
[00:37] <annie_g> Where is best place to change Font or Font size of Folder in Nautilus or Thunar - Would be ok if Font size was changed system wide as well - Desktop, Etc. ? ?
[00:37] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  Windows in Grub menu.lst has the chain loader thing
[00:38] <pan0789> wat does chainloader do?
[00:38] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ah ok...so how do I verify that hd0,1 is correct or not?
[00:38] <Shoplifter> sound & video are not synced with mplayer...
[00:38] <pan0789> chainloader +1
[00:38] <pan0789> ?
[00:38] <Blaqlight> annie_g, system preferences appearence
[00:38] <TwoD> jamie, xmms2tray should ask you when it starts, if the xmms2d daemon isn't running, if it should start it. If it says it can't connect to the daemon, try starting it manually from the terminal and check if there are errors.
[00:38] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:   hd0,1 is for my VIsta
[00:38] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: what's the link for your menu.lst again
[00:38] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: http://pastebin.org/46869
[00:39] <annie_g> Blaqlight: Will this be system wide or ?
[00:39] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: home premimum in my case,  no real good reason for me to upgrade to ultimate
[00:39] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  exepsaily so since I hardly ever boot Vista :)
[00:39] <Blaqlight> annie_g, yes
[00:39] <jakob> Recently upgraded to 8.04. Now the machine tends to have extreme hard disk activity for about 20 minutes. In this time I can't do anything on the machine. It is really extremely busy.
[00:39] <jakob> I think it might be file indexing in gnome that is causing the trouble, but I have no way to check what the cause might be (the system lags to much to open up a terminal).
[00:39] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Luckily for me. I didn't have to.
[00:39] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: didn't have to what?
[00:40] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Upgrade to anything. I got it for free lol.
[00:40] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: pirate copy?
[00:40] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Fully-working and upgradable.
[00:40] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: right, but a pirate copy?
[00:40] <tech0007> !medibuntu
[00:40] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:40] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Uh yeah...
[00:41] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: heh you just told a load of people that in a IRC channel and there are probably a few logs of this channel going at the moment.  and your IP address can be found out from the channel
[00:41] <Blaqlight> annie_g, sorry System > Preferences > Appearence > Fonts Tab
[00:41] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Well you asked!
[00:41] <Blaqlight> annie_g, the one you want specifically is application font
[00:41] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: and MS can come and knock on your door and ask you to pay up :D
[00:42] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Anyway how do I find out what the grub name for the partition with Vista on it is?
[00:42] <SeaPhor> kahrytan, if you would put a description of your problem as well as the pastebin link, you might get more response
[00:42] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  mine is pretty obviosuly brought well yeah came with this comp. only a fool would pirate Home Premium for obvious reasons.
[00:42] <annie_g> Blaqlight: Yea - Found it .... Is there a better font then the standard DejaVu Sans Book ? One that is a little more pleasing to the eye?
[00:43] <Blaqlight> annie_g, Sans is default for ubuntu.
[00:43] <kahrytan> SeaPhor, fine
[00:43] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: yes looking at your file now hang on
[00:43] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ok.
[00:43] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and loged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:43] <kahrytan> SeaPhor,  happy?
[00:43] <Blaqlight> annie_g, wait no its not, but its better than tahoma (windows)
[00:44] <annie_g> Blaqlight: Will go through a few - should show samples - Dig around till I find something - Thanks for the tip...
[00:44] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: All I know is that it is hdb1. But I need the grub name lol.
[00:44] <Blaqlight> annie_g, np
[00:44] <etronik> any recommends a particlar way of connecting Ubuntu server to Linkstation Buffalo NAS unit ?? NFS or samba ?
[00:44] <arooni_> something is very wrong with my desktop running ubuntu hardy.  its very hot here today (90F), the CPU temp is 66*C, the mobo is 44*C (its not usually hot like this).  anyway, i boot it up and i notice that within a few minutes, the cpu utilizatoin goes way up (ther'there's nothing running), gnome locks up, and to boot, the file system appears to change to read only .... doing 'vim foobartest.txt' gives me: "bash: /usr/bin/vim: Inpu
[00:44] <arooni_> t/output error".  Finally, when I try restarting X with ctrl+alt+backspace, it hangs on the command "* Running oca boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" ... ideas?
[00:44] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  ok so hd0,3 is Ubuntu, but what other partitions have you got?
[00:45] <jant> etronik: depends on your needs
[00:45] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and logged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:45] <annie_g> Blaqlight: Yea - I like Tahoma - ok - but is to big for what I prefer.
[00:45] <jant> etronik: i always use nfs on unix
[00:45] <annie_g> Will check out the sans
[00:46] <SeaPhor> kahrytan, i really am trying to help you, the people that volunteer their time here each are good in certain areas, and if that area isnt in the question,,, then you will have a harder time getting anyone to look at your pastebin
[00:46] <Blaqlight> annie_g, I installed all my windows fonts into ubuntu also by copying them from my windows partition.
[00:46] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Under /dev/hdb I have hdb1 - Vista, hdb2 - Linux Swap, hdb3 - ext3, and hdb4 - ext3 partitions.
[00:46] <etronik> jant: I need the server to permanently be connected to the NAS to store torrents its downloading, or fetch stuff from there to put into tapes, or whatever
[00:46] <Gin> I get this:  error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
[00:46] <Gin> what to install?
[00:46] <brian_> I have a fun and complicated one for you all to ponder if you wish.  Every time I reinstall Ubuntu 8.04 my drives are recognized by the installer in the wrong order causing grub to claim that the partition of the installation doesn't exist.  This is easily fixed by changing a 2 to a 0 in the menu.lst file.  However.. a nasty side effect is that I also lose all the information on my dmraid array every time and have to recover it from a
[00:46] <brian_> back up superblock using testdisk and fsck.  any ideas as to why and how this might be avoided in the future?
[00:46] <jant> etronik: well i advise nfs
[00:46] <pan0789> wat is the purpose of linux swap?
[00:46] <Blaqlight> though I don't use any of them currently.
[00:47] <Steven1> pan0789: It's similar to Windows Virtual Memory.
[00:47] <Ashfire908> Is there a way to check or lookup what options were used for compiling a program that is packaged (it's php5 if it matters)
[00:47] <pan0789> so i shouldn't get rid of it
[00:47] <pan0789> k
[00:47] <pan0789> thx
[00:47] <Steven1> pan0789: Oh no. You want to keep that lol.
[00:47] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  you have two hard disks?
[00:47] <Blaqlight> pan0789, no
[00:47] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: No. One HD with 4 partitions.
[00:48] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  well then it will start with 0
[00:48] <etronik> jant: although the NAS unit already supports Samba to share stuff with the other windows machines on the home LAN...
[00:48] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  and you just got to experiment with the partition numbers or take a guess at which one it is
[00:48] <etronik> jant: does it still make sense to use yet another Net protocol ??
[00:48] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Well I guess I technically do have two HDs but. The first is fried and is inaccessible.
[00:49] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  you have two hard disks inside the computer?
[00:49] <kahrytan> SeaPhor, It is against channel policy to paste large errors in #ubuntu channels
[00:49] <jant> etronik: well they can exist simultanously
[00:49] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Yes. But the one is fried. So I have 4 partitions on the working HD.
[00:49] <pan0789> in gparted linux-swap doesn't say how much is being used or unused?
[00:49] <Lynet> brian_: Wait.. You install on a dmraid?
[00:49] <Blaqlight> Steven1, I have the same problem on my desktop, 2 80 gig hdds one fried.
[00:49] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and logged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:49] <jant> etronik: again for unix i stick with NFS
[00:49] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: well then as long as the computer is only detecting a hard disk the partition numbering will start with 0
[00:49] <Steven1> Blaqlight: Yeah. To this day I don't know what killed it.
[00:49] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  0 being the hard disk
[00:49] <brian_> no.. i install on a straight up old fassioned ide drive Lynet
[00:50] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  and 3 is your Linux partition  however the numbering between Grub and Linux itself is a bit diffenrt
[00:50] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: So what your saying is the first number will be 0?
[00:50] <Blaqlight> Steven1, I know what killed mine, connecting the IDE cable (like a dummy) while the box was running.
[00:50] <Erick> how to i see my CPU usage and system load in terminal?
[00:50] <SeaPhor> kahrytan, yes, but you can describe your whole problem, and add your pastebin!
[00:50] <kahrytan> SeaPhor,  and in which i did
[00:50] <Steven1> Blaqlight: Wow that was a stroke of genius lol.
[00:51] <SeaPhor> kahrytan, All On One Line!
[00:51] <Blaqlight> indeed
[00:51] <tech0007> Erick: 'top'
[00:51] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: I got 6 partitions or something here,  and yes of course not all of them are for Grub to use
[00:51] <herrkin> I need help!!
[00:51] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: So I should just start with hd0,1 and go up from there? Trial and Error?
[00:51] <Erick> tech0007, that just shows my processess
[00:51] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  yep
[00:51] <herrkin> I cant install ati drivers
[00:51] <lee> glitch ubuntu
[00:52] <kahrytan> SeaPhor,  this is offtopic.
[00:52] <brian_> I'm thinking that because the first drive in the raid array is recognized as sd0 by the installer that something is being written to the drive even though I never tell the installer to use the drive at all
[00:52] <Lynet> brian_: The hd0/hd2 thing might be caused by different drive probe order on boot and in the linux install cd. Annoying, but happens some times - especially if you have multiple sata controllers. But that shouldn't touch your dmraid.
[00:52] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and logged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:52] <SeaPhor> kahrytan, no,,, look and scroll up to brian's post
[00:52] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  but it won't be hd0,3, because that's Ubuntu
[00:52] <herrkin> can anyone helpm me?
[00:52] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: however you can make it easier for your self
[00:52] <lavish> hi all

[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: if it won't boot it will say so and then it will go back to Grub
[00:53] <Erick> how do i check my CPU usage, system load, swap memory, and other things in terminal?
[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  just copy the correct info a few times and change the number
[00:53] <Starnestommy> Erick: top
[00:53] <Erick> Starnestommy, that shows for processes
[00:53] <djonze> Greetings All !!  Wondering if someone can provide some assistance on getting a dual monitor to appear using 8.04 and nVidia  8600 board.
[00:53] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: So I can edit grub from grub itself? Nice!
[00:53] <Erick> not the total
[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: and in the name I would suggest putting something there so you know which one it was
[00:53] <jant> Erick: man uptime, man free
[00:53] <Blaqlight> Erick, sudo apt-get install htop
[00:53] <arooni__> here is my dmesg (for the funky disk thing):  http://pastie.org/224194  .... i dont know really waht to look for
[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  well that can be done, but not entirely sure about that.  I meant you set it all up how I am saying
[00:53] <jamie> lol so what do i do when a shitty windows app dies in wine
[00:53] <tech0007> Erick: it shows more than the processes..read up 'man top'
[00:53] <arooni__> something is very wrong with my desktop running ubuntu hardy.  its very hot here today (90F), the CPU temp is 66*C, the mobo is 44*C (its not usually hot like this).  anyway, i boot it up and i notice that within a few minutes, the cpu utilizatoin goes way up (ther'there's nothing running), gnome locks up, and to boot, the file system appears to change to read only .... doing 'vim foobartest.txt' gives me: "bash: /usr/bin/vim: Inp
[00:53] <arooni__> ut/output error".  Finally, when I try restarting X with ctrl+alt+backspace, it hangs on the command "* Running oca boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" ... ideas?
[00:53] <lee> sudo
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  before re booting
[00:54] <herrkin> I cant get my ati x800 card installed in ubuntu hardy
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  set up menu.lst in Ubuntu
[00:54] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: What do you mean change the name so I know what it is?
[00:54] <Lynet> brian_: Ah. Only thing I can think of is that grub might rewrite the mbr on the first disk marked as bootable.
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: well your going to add the same entry a few or more times
[00:54] <Dinasty> What package do I install to play DVD's?
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: with the only difference being a partition number
[00:54] <lap> is there away to see wich directory an application create in the first execution in the home directory of a user ?
[00:54] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ahhhh ok.
[00:54] <lap> a way*
[00:55] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and logged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[00:55] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: of course they will all be the same thing,  unless you cahnge the name
[00:55] <Blaqlight> !medibuntu
[00:55] <lavish> I can't burn dvd with on hardy, while cd burning is fine. I'm using a Pioneer DVR-107D, tried every software available, from k3b to nero and the burning process fails. On dmesg I see (after a failure) "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!". Google didn't help very much. Any idea? Thanks
[00:55] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: and so I would suggest putting for example  Vista 2 in the name for Vista 2
[00:55] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: I see what your saying.
[00:55] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  for what would be the second partition
[00:55] <mastrgamr> How do i administrate myself?
[00:55] <jimcooncat> lap, you could save an ls to a file before and after installation, then run diff against them
[00:55] <Lynet> brian_: Are you installing with the regular CD or the "alternate" CD? The latter will give you a lot more control over what grub does on install.
[00:55] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: and if it won't work it won't boot
[00:55] <tech0007> !sudo | mastrgamr
[00:55] <brian_> I mean I have a working solution and all.. just a pain.. figured i'd throw it out there because I know if the same situation happened to a LOT of people they would give up on trying to save their data.. it took me a LONG time to work out using testdisk in combination with e2fsck to save mine
[00:55] <Blaqlight> mastrgamr, got a belt?
[00:56] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1, and it will take you back to Grub and then you try the next and so on
[00:56] <lap> jimcooncat: if I don't done that ?
[00:56] <lap> can I see anyway ?
[00:56] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Nice. I see what your saying.
[00:56] <brian_> I was using a regular CD... there's an advanced button at the end that I have seen but not played with where I believe that you can designate where Grub is written.. but I'm not sure
[00:56] <forestangeljulie> hey i'm having a problem with my SD card
[00:56] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: So it can be any of the 4 partitions except 3 right?
[00:56] <forestangeljulie> for some reason, it won't let me change it from "read only" to "read and write"
[00:57] <lap> i just want to know what gnome-pilot from evolution have created in my home directory to delete them
[00:57] <jiddan> Is it possible to automatically mount drives depending on the wireless SSID name? for example if you're on network1 mount drive1 and if you're on network2 mount drive2 automatically
[00:57] <lap> i dont use gnome-pilot
[00:57] <forestangeljulie> my card somehow locked itself
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  yep it will be one of the 4, but it won't be what Grub is calling partition 3, because that's Ubuntu
[00:57] <forestangeljulie> how do i unlock it?
[00:57] <brian_> sorry I keep forgetting to include your nick Lynet
[00:58] <jimcooncat> lap, try "locate gnome-pilot" and see if it stuck a directory with that in the name under your home
[00:58] <brian_> Lynet: I know how annoying that can be
[00:58] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Ok one more check over to make sure I did it right. http://pastebin.org/46873
[00:58] <jimcooncat> lap, I got /home/jim/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d
[00:58] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie I fyou are talking about fat32 or ntfs partition getting locked.. then it was not properly shut down and removed from the windows system and that is how it got locked
[00:58] <lap> jimcooncat: that's it ?
[00:58] <bad_automaton> Hi, I want to know (before buy) if this kind of external usb enclosure are well supported in linux. It is used as usb-storage? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145027
[00:58] <lap> gpilot ?
[00:59] <lap> search for gpilot too
[00:59] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey, I am trying to get my tv-tuner to work with the saa7134. It is a SBT_TVFM card. It doesnt seem to matter what card / tuner option i choose they dont seem to be changing.
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  your using the old Grub that's what I use
[00:59] <Lynet> brian_: Agreed, not a very funny situation. A default install should really not nuke the user's windows raid. Again, the only thing I can think of is that grub is probably writing a new mbr to the first disk by default; you might try playing with the advanced settings for grub or use the alternate cd to see if you can work around it.
[00:59] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: ok, now how do I unlock it?
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  but apparnatlly Grub2 is a load better
[00:59] <soto> Grub does not seem to be using the menu.lst in /boot since my upgrade to Hardy. How can I see where grub is pulling the menu.lst from and how can I fix it?
[00:59] <Blaqlight> lap if its newer you might want to try sudo updatedb then locate gpilot.
[00:59] <forestangeljulie> i've always been very good about mounting and unmounting
[00:59] <jimcooncat> lap, yeah I got /home/jim/.gpilotd also
[00:59] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: I heard it was. But I haven't a clue how to upgrade.
[00:59] <forestangeljulie> i've always unmounted before i pulled it out
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie Is that the case we have here. is that the format on the device
[00:59] <forestangeljulie> always
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  if you uncomment pretty colours on your next re boot it will look nicer.  just delete the # to uncomment
[00:59] <dstrbdfrk1> can someone look at this and try and help me with what im doing wrong  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200408
[00:59] <brian_> Lynet  Thats what I figured it would come to.. :) thanks
[01:00] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  oh upgrading is pretty easy, haven't done so yet myself since,  well I got two menu.lsts
[01:00] <lap> jimcooncat: so, you don't have anything else about gpilot and gnome-pilot in your home dir ?
[01:00] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: every time a new kernel is installed it  updates the one that is in this Ubuntu install, which is not the one it is using so I have to manualley edit for the new kerenl
[01:00] <Lynet> brian_: But sounds like a serious bug nonetheless. Could you write up a bug report (including your configuration, motherboard/chipset, how many disks etc)?
[01:00] <jimcooncat> lap, yes there is a file in each of those directories.
[01:01] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: also hidden menus in your menu.lst  ah ha that's nice, but you can just delete that
[01:01] <brian_> Lynet: I could with some guidance I am sure.. i'm not really savvy enough to gather all the required information on my own
[01:01] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: how do i tell how it was formatted? i didn't know linux formatted in fat32. I thought that was a windows thing
[01:01] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Delete it?
[01:01] <lap> jimcooncat: ok but you only have .gpilotd and gnome2/gnome-pilot.d ?
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie sudo fdisk -l to see the format
[01:01] <Pupeno> Can I build packages only for i386 on my ppa?
[01:02] <dstrbdfrk1> could someone look at this and help me with the error message i get after doing this.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200408
[01:02] <forestangeljulie> um this is what i got
[01:02] <jimcooncat> lap yes, and /home/jim/.gpilotd.pid
[01:03] <lap> jimcooncat: ok nice, same as me
[01:03] <sosriqwe> soto, how do you know that?

[01:09] <lap> jimcooncat: ?
[01:09] <etronik> what's the best practice or pros/cons of mounting my NAS into my Ububtu server as /Media, or should I mount it below my user  dir like /home/myuser/NASmainDir
[01:09] <Lynet> sacul: Looks like a similar bug has been reported already. You might want to add your report to that. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/188982
[01:09] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: When I select Ubuntu from grub, let it load and whatnot, it hangs on the login user selection screen(black).
[01:09] <etronik> or are there any difficulties mounting it as /home/NASMainDir?
[01:09] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: it said it couldn't find the package paste
[01:10] <stupidfreenode> nope don't know about that
[01:10] <kahrytan> Can anyone help me with bug found in exaile and logged @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23618/ ?
[01:10] <sacul> will do Lynet
[01:10] <stupidfreenode> and what do you mean exactly?
[01:10] <esac> i added kvm and kvm_intel to both /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and they still get loaded at boot ! any ideas ?
[01:11] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: It gets past the splash screen and hangs before it will let me try to log in on my user.
[01:11] <Jberg88> hello is it possible to access mediatomb from OS x
[01:11] <Jberg88>  <Jberg88> I am setting up a ubuntu file server with mediatomb
[01:11] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: for future reference, my terminal wont let me copy and paste. I have to type it out manually
[01:11] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: Black Screen.
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie shift-ctrl-v
[01:11] <forestangeljulie> oh you have to you shift
[01:11] <Jberg88> there is no one in the mediatomb channel that's why I am asking here
[01:11] <forestangeljulie> that explains it
[01:11] <forestangeljulie> i'll try again
[01:11] <sacul> Lynet: I doubt this is a similar problem as shutting down and restarting his computer fixed his problem where as I have to restore from a backup superblock farther into the drive
[01:11] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v doesn't work?
[01:11] <pan0789> how big should linux-swap should be?
[01:12] <pan0789> mine is around 2 gigs?
[01:12] <stupidfreenode> Steven1:  so username and password has been entered and it is black screen for a bit?
[01:12] <stupidfreenode> before it logs in
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> pan0789 double ram but not over 4 gig
[01:12] <Lynet> sacul: Ah. You're right. I missed that.
[01:12] <sacul> Lynet: Its all good
[01:12] <forestangeljulie> Steven1: no, now it works
[01:12] <pan0789> k thx
[01:12] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: No. It doesn't even load the login bit. It goes black and hangs with the loading cursor forever.
[01:12] <forestangeljulie> i'm just used to ctrl+v like in windows. without the shift
[01:12] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: ;)
[01:13] <stupidfreenode> Steven1: so you got the Ubuntu is going to load screen.  like  there is one for WIndows when that loads to
[01:13] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: Be careful. In Firefox it still is Windows style.
[01:13] <stupidfreenode> Steven1: and then after that it goes black for a bit before the login screen appears?
[01:13] <forestangeljulie> Steven1: yeah, i'm an ubuntard n00b. i always use ctrl+v in firefox. I can't wait for mint to come out. i hope it's easier
[01:13] <sacul> Lynet:
[01:13] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: Yeah. It goes black before showing the login bit. But it never comes out of it.
[01:13] <blameless> is there some secret i seem to be missing in getting a bluetooth headset to work.  the mouse works nicely but the .asoundrc method specified in the bluez wiki doesn't seem to work
[01:13] <stupidfreenode> Steven1: how do you log in then?
[01:14] <mastrgamr> i installed a program with a .deb file..after i installed everything form the deb files and run the program, the program says "Opening 0 items" in the desktop
[01:14] <sacul> Lynet: and let me tell you how scary it is to fsck a disk you have lots of stuff you don't want to lose on the first time! XD
[01:14] <forestangeljulie> ANYWAY
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie Check out the support for mint before you install it.. We do not provide support for Mint
[01:14] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: Mint is out and it's based off of Ubuntu so I can't imagine it being that much different.
[01:14] <fox-guy> my pc reboots after i try to apt-get install libgnome-desktop-2 > see http://paste.ubuntu.com/23620/
[01:14] <neyugn> hey does anyone know to if there is a way access as root wit being the username on not an admin ne more?
[01:14] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: yes i know that, i figured.
[01:14] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: I don't. That's the problem!
[01:14] <forestangeljulie> Steven1: it's supposed to be even easier, that's what i heard
[01:14] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: it said that no lsb modules were available
[01:15] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: Maybe if you get the Xfce one. They have versions for Gnome and Xfce both.
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie did it give you a link
[01:15] <forestangeljulie> Steven1: isn't mint still in beta?
[01:15] <stupidfreenode> neyugn:  first rule of Linux, never run with a root account all the time, unless you have a good reason to and know what your doing
[01:15] <Steven1> forestangeljulie: I didn't think so. Check distrowatch. I downloaded it a while back and it's pretty in Xfce.
[01:15] <stupidfreenode> neyugn: this is not Windows XP where people get admin by default, resulting in most users running with admin accounts, hence all the viruses and that.  admin = full power
[01:16] <neyugn> stupidfreenode: i accidently did something in the users and group and now i dont have admin
[01:16] <tim2> Can empty my tash ?
[01:16] <CelticLord_> nuit!!
[01:16] <blameless> part
[01:16] <neyugn> stupidfreenode: i no but i was hopin there was a way i can get access so i dont have to redo my machine =/
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> neyugn Physical access is root access..  you can use recovery mode and add yourself to admin.. but I dont have time to show you

[01:17] <stupidfreenode> Steven1: heh no wonder you wanted to boot Vista then
[01:17] <tim2> ok change of directory
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> forestangeljulie that is not a valid link. It should have returened a link to the pastebin with a number.. Sorry, but I will not be able to help you out
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> neyugn recovery mode is root
[01:17] <stupidfreenode> Steven1: I think it could be to do with X or something
[01:17] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: Yeah...I don't often have time to screw around with Linux as of late. So that's another reason.
[01:17] <stupidfreenode> Steven1:  try recovery mode from Grub
[01:18] <neyugn> Jack_Sparrow: ok thnks
[01:18] <Steven1> stupidfreenode: Possibly. I hate messing with X.
[01:18] <forestangeljulie> Jack_Sparrow: do you mean this link?  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe

[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> dstrbdfrk1 Access to POP e-mail accounts from Hotmail is a subscription-only ...
[01:27] <xbj9000> the worst thing someone can do when starting to use linux, is to run back to windows apps via wine

[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> dstrbdfrk1 gmail is one of the better pop3 free email providers
[01:27] <webcamwonder> Jack_Sparrow: What about webmail with Thunderbird, that supports getting Webmail into your thunderbird
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> yep
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> gmail can be set up
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> in Thunderbird
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> or another email account

[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> webcamwonder Walk him through it.. but I prefer my imap access on gmail
[01:29] <SebNaitsabes> like that swiftfox the  Firefox made for a specific CPU?

[01:31] <mastrgamr> can i get a walkthrough on how to install Wine or AIM?
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> yes
[01:31] <xbj9000> lol @ floodbot yelling at ubottu
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> Wine is easy
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> don't get it from Ubuntu network
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr we told you.. /join #winehq
[01:31] <esac> so to rephrase, my_blacklist nor blacklist works for preventing kvm and kvm_intel from being loaded at boot. How can I stop these modules from being loaded
[01:31] <xbj9000> mastrgamr what method are you trying to use to install those things?
[01:32] <xbj9000> mastrgamr you want Pidgin, not AIM
[01:32] <mastrgamr> i dont know what a method is O_O
[01:32] <mastrgamr> i think .tar.gz
[01:32] <xbj9000> oh
[01:32] <mastrgamr> or .deb
[01:32] <sacul> mastrgamr: why not use pidgn?
[01:32] <randomshadowbmg> do i have to install sata drivers for kubuntu?
[01:32] <xbj9000> mastrgamr do you know how to use a terminal?
[01:32] <mastrgamr> whats pidgn?
[01:32] <randomshadowbmg> i cant get sata working right which is why im here
[01:32] <sacul> mastrgamr: OSS alternative to AIM
[01:32] <mastrgamr> yea i know how to get to the terminal.. not use it
[01:32] <esac> mastrgamr: why not 'sudo aptitude install wine' or 'sudo aptitude install pidgin'
[01:32] <randomshadowbmg> the only place it shows up is in cfdisk
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg you should not need special drivers.. except for a few oddball msi motherboards
[01:32] <xbj9000> pidgin is a free awesome web chat program, it does AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and many others
[01:33] <SebNaitsabes> mastrgamr:  http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[01:33] <xbj9000> mastrgamr open a terminal please
[01:33] <randomshadowbmg> im on kubuntu 8.04 x64 with a foxconn motherboard
[01:33] <xbj9000> and try to find alternatives to windows apps and avoid wine
[01:33] <xbj9000> although your name suggests you are a gamer so you may need wine for games
[01:33] <mastrgamr> my terminal is open.. and i typed sudo aptitude install wine
[01:33]  * SebNaitsabes  tryed to install a native  Linux version of AIM a while ago, but it didn't work out for him,  instead he got weird characters going down his terminal which was sort of fun to look at 
[01:33] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg which foxconn Mb are you using
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr that isnt the version you asked for
[01:34] <randomshadowbmg> N570SM2AA
[01:34] <randomshadowbmg> something like that
[01:34] <xbj9000> mastrgamr type this:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pidgin
[01:34] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg have you mounted the drives from that HDD yet???
[01:34] <randomshadowbmg> i tried to
[01:34] <randomshadowbmg> wont let me
[01:34] <randomshadowbmg> tells me to specify file system
[01:35] <randomshadowbmg> and wont show up under storage media
[01:35] <FloodBot1> randomshadowbmg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > randomshadowbmg
[01:35]  * SebNaitsabes pidgin comes with Ubuntu and should be under Internet in the menu
[01:35] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg was this a clean install of ubunty
[01:35] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg ubutu
[01:35] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg was the drive that you started with completely formatted
[01:35] <esac> xbj9000: shouldnt we be teaching people to just use the GUI over terminal ? Applications->Add/Remove would be easier for most people
[01:35] <xbj9000> esac I don't think so no
[01:36] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg or are you trying to dual boot
[01:36] <SebNaitsabes> esac:  the terminal can be better here's an example:  http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[01:36] <xbj9000> terminal use is inevitable
[01:36] <randomshadowbmg> yes it was a fresh install and it was an empty hard drive until i made a hard drive. i have no issues dual booting bc im already doing that with xp pro x64 and kubuntu 8.04 lts
[01:36] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg or are you using vmware or something like that
[01:36] <randomshadowbmg> no im not using vmware, its a native install
[01:36] <Steven1> Yeah I had someone help me edit my grub list to include Vista and it still doesn't boot. Also, Ubuntu doesn't load the login screen and hangs. So I'm stuck on this LiveCD. Help Anyone?
[01:36] <randomshadowbmg> I've never had issues dual booting.
[01:36] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg how many partitions are on the drive
[01:36] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: still won't boot hummmmmm
[01:37] <randomshadowbmg> 1 80gb ntfs partition
[01:37] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Nope. I tried all of the 3 listings for Vista you had me make too.
[01:37] <pen> anyone here use google notebook extension?
[01:37] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg so you have only 1 "big" partition
[01:37] <pen> on ff3
[01:37] <randomshadowbmg> crusher: yeah
[01:37] <rampageoberon> Hi, I need some help with a very strange problem - usually after a reboot when I start a video my screen freezes (kind off) and keyboard stops responding. If I do a hard reboot it usually fixes things but the porblem seems to be more recurrent now. I posted on the forums but seems no one was able to reply. Please help. Forum post is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=807443
[01:37] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Also, tried Recovery mode and tried to repair X. But it still does the same thing.
[01:37] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1: hardly heron Live CD?
[01:37] <mastrgamr> how do i install AIM?
[01:38] <eboyjr> mastrgamr:: There's pidgin
[01:38] <Steven1> Yes. Hardy. But my installed Ubuntu is Gutsy.
[01:38] <eboyjr> mastrgamr:: Or gaim (outdated)
[01:38] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes:
[01:38] <anteaya> i have been sorting out a problem with a double install and my question is about aptitude.  I have been using synaptic and i see that aptitude can give me more details about a package than synaptic.  I am told to run => aptitude but the result seems to be in kanji which I don't read.  Is there a way of changing the default language of aptitude?
[01:38] <xbj9000> mastrgamr you do not want AIM
[01:38] <Steven1> SebNaitsabes: Also, tried Recovery mode and tried to repair X. But it still does the same thing.
[01:38] <mastrgamr> why not
[01:38] <pen> anyone here use google notebook extension?
[01:38] <pen> on ff3
[01:38] <SebNaitsabes> mastrgamr: there is a AIM for Linux, but I didn't get that far with installing it.  plus the Windows beta version is later and all that.  and so  I would suggest if you want AIM so badly  get WIne form here:   http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb  and install AIM in that
[01:38] <mastrgamr> and wth is pidgin O.o
[01:38] <randomshadowbmg> how can i fix this problem?
[01:39] <xbj9000> AIM is not very good and pidgin does the same things and more
[01:39] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg so if you only have 1 partition...where are you booting from if ubuntu does not see your sata drive
[01:39] <randomshadowbmg> pidgin is awesome, im using it for this chat too
[01:39] <randomshadowbmg> i have 2 ide drives for the os
[01:39] <randomshadowbmg> wait no
[01:39] <SebNaitsabes> and some people would say Trillian is better than Pidgin however Trillian is made for Windows, and so in Linux  to run that yep WIne
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > randomshadowbmg
[01:39] <Steven1> mastrgamr: pidgin is a do all Instant Messenger like Trillian is for Windows.
[01:39] <randomshadowbmg> 1 ide hard drive for os, 1 ide hard drive for data and 1 sata drive for data
[01:39] <xbj9000> mastrgamr pidgin can do chat for many networks including AOL MSN and Yahoo
[01:39] <sacul> mastrgamr: I'm pretty sure you've had several people already tell you that pidgin is a free alternative to aim for linux and is already installed by default on all ubuntu variants
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg Mixing ide and sata can cause serious problem
[01:40] <Ravinater> hallo
[01:40]  * sacul thinks mastrgamr might be IRC troll
[01:40] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg I understand now
[01:40] <randomshadowbmg> why?
[01:40] <xbj9000> mastrgamr that's right, you should already have pidgin
[01:40] <Steven1> Can someone that is good with grub help me get Vista to boot and also if it's not too much trouble. Also help me fix X in Ubuntu?
[01:40] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  join #steven
[01:41] <crusher_> randomshadowbmg so is the Sata drive "on" in the bios???  & do your other OS's see the sata drive
[01:41] <SebNaitsabes> Steven1:  easier to caht there
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg If you google up mixing ide sata problems you will get a ton of hits
[01:41] <mastrgamr> ok cool i didnt know that
[01:41] <mastrgamr> i have pidgen lol
[01:41] <randomshadowbmg> Jack-Sparrow: im not trying to make one big partition including both drives. crusher: yes it is on the bios and yes xp sees the sata drive
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg I said nothing about trying to combine the drives.
[01:42] <xbj9000> mastrgamr is you approach linux by trying to find all the windows apps you are used to, and running them in wine, you will end up not liking linux
[01:42] <xbj9000> mastrgamr what program are you using for this irc chat right now?
[01:42] <randomshadowbmg> jack_sparrow: im not gonna boot from this drive either
[01:43] <rampageoberon> mastrgamr: I agree with xbj9000. best thing to do is try use windows apps under wine only when absolutely necessary
[01:43] <mastrgamr> it came with linux. called XChat-GNOME IRC
[01:43] <randomshadowbmg> This drive was free because I sold candy for my computer class at school.
[01:43] <xbj9000> mastrgamr cool, xchat is good in my opinion
[01:44] <pen> anyone here use google notebook extension?
[01:44] <pen> on ff3
[01:44] <pen> it's slow and buggy

[01:56] <arooni__> something is very wrong with my desktop running ubuntu hardy.  its very hot here today (90F), the CPU temp is 66*C, the mobo is 44*C (its not usually hot like this).  anyway, i boot it up and i notice that within a few minutes, the cpu utilizatoin goes way up (ther'there's nothing running), gnome locks up, and to boot, the file system appears to change to read only .... doing 'vim foobartest.txt' gives me: "bash: /usr/bin/vim: Inp
[01:56] <arooni__> ut/output error".  Finally, i touched /forcefsck and rebooted; the auto fsck failed; so i ran it manually on every mount point.... it succeeded after fixing many errors.  finally i rebooted, and i guess ubuntu auto triggered another fsck.  anyway; ubuntu's gui never started and i see stuff like:  EXT3-fs error (device sda1) : ext_3_find_entry reading directory # 1767779 offset 0;  and init: rc-default main process (8652) terminate

[02:05] <Asymmetry> Having a problem with my iPod. I plug it in, and it throws up a mount error: "Invalid mount option."
[02:05] <Asymmetry> Nothing I do fixes it.
[02:05] <rampageoberon> Anyone have any ideas on troubleshooting the system, when keyboard stops responding, screen freezes but you can see the mouse cursor moving and sound keeps playing?
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> CorbinFox geek squad used to be geeks that knew something,  best buy bought the name and the company and replaced the techs with sales people whos, purpose is to sell more equipoment.. not fix it
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> keri you are on the latest release..
[02:06] <rampageoberon> Thats when i try play a video and happens occassionally
[02:06] <CorbinFox> Jack_sparrow: i understand that, i am referring to the old style geek squad.  I do everything computer related myself, i was just curious as to what service would do linux stuff
[02:06] <asmo[B]> rampageoberon: does num lock still work when it's locked up?
[02:06] <keri> ok so why does it show i need to update then say error
[02:06] <rampageoberon> asmo[B]: nope, it doesn't :(
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> CorbinFox no idea..  I keep busy
[02:07]  * lnf has joined... ("I just need to help")
[02:07] <rampageoberon> asmo[B]: i can ssh in fine and the system seems responsive otherwise, sound also keeps playing for the video
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> keri Please do NOT paste into the channel again...
[02:07] <keri> ok sorry
[02:07] <asmo[B]> rampageoberon: what do you mean when the keyboard stops responding? it stops working while watching a video?
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste > keri
[02:08] <idkfawin32> is there a c++ channel
[02:08] <keri> where do i see that
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> idkfawin32 ##c    I think
[02:08] <lnf> idkfawin32: yes it is called #c++
[02:08] <rampageoberon> asmo[B]: like you asked, num lock, caps lock ... nothing responds. I can't even restart gdm using the standard shortcut keys
[02:08] <idkfawin32> Thanks
[02:08] <lnf> I think
[02:08] <Asymmetry> Having a problem with my iPod. I plug it in, and it throws up a mount error: "Invalid mount option." Nothing I do fixes it.
[02:09] <CorbinFox> keri: what service installed Ubuntu for you?
[02:09] <rampageoberon> asmo[B]: and yes it stops occassionally when i start a video after reboot. If 1 video plays then it will be fine till i next reboot
[02:09] <sacul> Asymmetry: have you tried gtkpod?
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> I have 10# of chicken to throw on the Baaahby..  back later, but still will lurk and keep an eye on things
[02:09] <Infinito-> Asymmetry, my guess is most probably you have invalid characters on your mount point name or the mount point name is wrong
[02:10] <keri> jack i am sorry for pasting i did not know..
[02:10] <jaminkle> is that cube thing installed on hardy to?
[02:10] <Asymmetry> Neither. It's not a problem with a program, and it's gnome's automount that's screwing it up.
[02:10] <rampageoberon> asmo[B]: also trying to shutdown the system over ssh messes up the display on the screen somehow. restarting gdm over ssh also doesn't seem to work very well. I don't know where to look to fix this :(

[02:11] <Blaqlight> holy smokes. what was that.
[02:11] <jaminkle> is that cube thing installed on hardy to?
[02:11]  * sacul blinks
[02:11] <Infinito-> jaminkle, yes sure.
[02:11] <jaminkle> beryl?
[02:11] <Infinito-> not now the name of is compiz-fusion
[02:11] <jaminkle> or is it just compiz so the windows are like jelly
[02:12] <Blaqlight> jaminkle, cube as in compiz-fusion?
[02:12] <Infinito-> beryl project merged with compiz and changed its name
[02:12] <pen> anyone here use google notebook extension?
[02:12] <pen> on ff3
[02:12] <pen> it's slow and buggy
[02:12] <jaminkle> i can move the windows like jelly
[02:12] <jaminkle> what else can i do?
[02:13] <Infinito-> lots of other stuff

[02:13] <ubtest> hah got desktop effects to work! it was the damn virtualbox
[02:13] <Blaqlight> jaminkle, goto System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[02:14] <sacul> jack leaves for 5 minutes and all hell breaks loose
[02:14] <asd__> hi
[02:14] <xbj9000> jaminkle, I don't think that comes by default, you'll have to install it first
[02:14] <ubtest> how do you add more faces to the desktop cube? right now i have just two and the cube is flat
[02:14] <asd__> china
[02:14] <jaminkle> i dont have Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[02:14] <asd__> from china
[02:14] <Blaqlight> ubtest add desktops to your pager
[02:14] <ubtest> yup, how?
[02:14] <tomolds> I am trying to do a version upgrade in Synaptic, but it keeps saying press finish to start the upgrade then nothing happens... Any ideas?
[02:15] <jaminkle> only apperance
[02:15] <yoyoned> ubtest: right click on ot
[02:15] <keri> jack_s
[02:15] <ubtest> ok? then pick add to panel?
[02:15] <Blaqlight> jaminkle, unfortunately Im not sure what the name of the program is.
[02:16] <Blaqlight> ubtest, no right click on your pager, up it too more than 4 then apply
[02:16] <Infinito-> jaminkle, but you have compiz-fusio installed right ? them go on Applications -> Add/Remove and search for "ccsm"
[02:16] <legend2440> i just created seperate /home partition on hardy.  had an awful time getting it to reboot because of permission problems.  can someome tell me what a good permission setting is for /home and the files and folders inside. is 644 good?
[02:16] <yoyoned> ubtest: click on the pager, you know what that is?
[02:16] <ubtest> sorry im new... whats a pager? the panel on the bottom?
[02:17] <caexo> nvidia 8800gt, 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.42 driver version, 8.10 64bit, acer al2216w monitor.       why am i blurry, why is my monitor's info page displaying a different resolution and refresh to what nvidia x server settings is reporting?
[02:17] <yoyoned> legend2440: sudo chown -R user /home/user
[02:17] <rampageoberon> Anyone have any ideas on troubleshooting the system, when keyboard stops responding (no num lock, can't restart gdm using shortcut keys etc), screen freezes but you can see the mouse cursor moving and sound keeps playing?
[02:17] <Blaqlight> the pager is the 2 white boxes on the panel that show your open windows
[02:17] <caexo> the screen is much much sharper in winxp
[02:17] <ubtest> ya i see it but when i right click i dont get an option to add more?
[02:17] <Blaqlight> ubtest, you see it?
[02:18] <jaminkle> oh i thought it was installed with hardy
[02:18] <jaminkle> because of the jelly windows and stuff
[02:18] <yoyoned> caexo: are you running at the correct resolution for your monitor
[02:18] <Blaqlight> ubtest right click on it and select preferences
[02:18] <xbj9000> jaminkle, you have compiz but not the GUI to control it
[02:18] <caexo> trying to do the same as i do in xp, 1440x900 and 75hz
[02:18] <ubtest> ha ok i got it... didnt know columns means desktops
[02:18] <ubtest> thanks
[02:18] <Blaqlight> jaminkle  go on Applications -> Add/Remove and search for "ccsm"
[02:18] <jaminkle> kay
[02:18] <jaminkle> thanks
[02:19] <caexo> hmm nvm... this screen is bugging me too much, later
[02:19] <ubtest> can you do virtualzation in ubuntu like in opensolaris?
[02:19] <Blaqlight> ubtest not sure.
[02:20] <yoyoned> ubtest: how does solaris do it
[02:20] <xbj9000> jaminkle there's also a simpler package called simple-ccsm
[02:20] <ubtest> there is an option under system to that says virtualzation, same with centos
[02:20] <legend2440> yoyoned: yes i did the chown -R me:me home command because some of the files and folders were set to root:root. but what about a chmod command? is chmos -R 644 home necessary to set read write permissions?
[02:21] <legend2440> chmod*
[02:22] <yoyoned> legend2440: don't chmod the entire folder.  Different things need different permissions.  You cant canghe everything in /home/you to the same thing
[02:22] <legend2440> yoyoned: ok thanks
[02:23] <rampageoberon> Hi, I need some help with a very strange problem - usually after a reboot when I start a video my screen freezes (kind off) and keyboard stops responding. If I do a hard reboot it usually fixes things but the porblem seems to be more recurrent now. I posted on the forums but seems no one was able to reply. Please help. Forum post is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=807443 I don't want to try the video again and have to hard reboot if
[02:23] <rampageoberon>  the problem is still there :(
[02:23] <unop> ubtest, if centos has the capability - you probably can install the package that provides the same virtualization in ubuntu
[02:24] <sacul> how bad do you think you'd bork things if you chmoded a+rwx your root directory recursively?
[02:24] <unop> ubtest, do you know the name of the centos package that provides this?
[02:24] <ubtest> hrmm no its install by default on 5.2
[02:24] <unop> sacul, not as bad as something more restrictive -- still not advisable _at all_
[02:24] <ubtest> thats alright ill figure it out, thanks
[02:24] <caexo> yeah i just verified, 1440x900 75hz in winxp.  doing that in ubuntu leaves it blurry around the edges, at the bottom, etc.  it's like i'm using a crappy crt monitor or something
[02:25] <caexo> i couldn't keep running it, giving me a headache
[02:25] <arooni_> is the ubuntu live cd 511MB?
[02:25] <caexo> oh well.  thanks anyways, i might try ubuntu again in a few months
[02:25] <sacul> unop: sure.. i guess a-rwx would be a LOT worse
[02:25] <unop> arooni_, i should think it'd be more than that - closer the 750MB
[02:26] <arooni_> unop, is there a hash thing i cna do for it to see if i got it all?
[02:26] <enos> anyone here use amd64 dual proc without any problems?
[02:26] <unop> sacul, it's not just that, certain applications could just fail to start since you have set insecure permissions on log files, configuration files, etc -- not a good idea
[02:27] <unop> arooni_, there is yes -- hold on, let me see if i can find it
[02:27] <zendo> Hi. I'm trying to install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 but adepts says it's broken, can someone tell me how to fix this if possible?
[02:27] <pen> anyone here use google notebook extension? why is it so slow and buggy
[02:27] <yoyoned> enos: I am currently running 32 bit os, but I have ran 64 bit gutsy ok
[02:27] <sacul> unop: i don't intend to try it ;-) though i have once or twice debated doing the unspeakable rm command just to watch what happens
[02:27] <Blaqlight> is there an easy way to scan and move to a single drive all media files available (IE music and videos) instead of manually searching each folder?
[02:28] <yoyoned> zendo: have you tried intalling from comandline
[02:28] <zendo> yoyoned: let me try... sec
[02:28] <enos> yoyoned: I've read that there are some browser issues with firefox/flash did you experience any?
[02:28] <unop> sacul, that'd be like sitting on a branch of a tree and sawing away at the base of it -- :)
[02:28] <Blaqlight> I want to use one drive to serve all my files over the network to save space on my other drives for other things.
[02:29] <yoyoned> enos: no, thats been worked out pretty well.
[02:29] <zendo> yoyoned: I got this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23635/
[02:29] <mastrgamr> how do i navigate to the desktop in the terminal??
[02:29] <sacul> unop: just for curiosities sake.. to see what files would remain after the inevitable crash.. obviously the rm command would fail eventually i would think some files would get left behind
[02:29] <yoyoned> enos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765428
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr cd Desktop

[02:31] <Blaqlight> oops I forgot he wanted Desktop.

[02:34] <jason_> what can I do on Liunx ubuntu?
[02:35] <rsk> jason_: anything
[02:35] <zendo> unop: all except cdrom, pre-released updates and unsupported updates
[02:35] <tc111> jason_: too broad a question, narrow it down...
[02:35] <danbhfive> jason_: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/
[02:35] <unop> mastrgamr, you are not in the Desktop folder yet -- you need to type this in.   cd Desktop
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr cd Desktop.. with a CAP D
[02:35] <mastrgamr> O__o ok i got it thanks
[02:36] <unop> zendo, hmm, because claws-mail is in the universe repo -- have you tried this.   sudo apt-get install claws-mail
[02:36] <randomshadowbmg> jack_sparrow and crusher: you guys still here?
[02:36] <randomshadowbmg> my problem is fixed
[02:37] <jason_> 是的
[02:37] <randomshadowbmg> now i was wondering if i could have links to all my partitions on the desktop
[02:37] <zendo> unop: trying...
[02:37] <randomshadowbmg> a way to enable that
[02:37] <Blaqlight> is there an easy way to scan and move to a single drive all media files available (IE music and videos) instead of manually searching each folder?
[02:37] <jason_> you can
[02:37] <ChaosTheory_> Anyone know how to get flash on opera?
[02:37] <randomshadowbmg> jason: how?
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg I dont have time, .. create mount points and add the mounts to your fstab
[02:38] <jason_> It is easy
[02:38] <yoyoned> zendo: try sudo aptitude install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 -f
[02:38] <randomshadowbmg> everything is mounted, i just want links on the desktop
[02:38] <jason_> Are you using opera system in Ubuntu?
[02:38] <ChaosTheory_> Yes.
[02:38] <Steven1> !grub
[02:38] <randomshadowbmg> basically everything in storage media on the desktop
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> randomshadowbmg mounts in  /media show up on the desktop
[02:39] <jason_> Did you download the flash software?
[02:39] <ChaosTheory_> Which packages do I need to install?
[02:39] <arooni_> if i want to boot up the live cd of gutsy..... can this be done with a NVIDIA graphics card?  ... after loading foa  bit... the progress bar got stuck, duplicated itself below + i see some strange artifacts
[02:39] <sacul> randomshadowbmg: create launchers by right clicking on your desktop and clicking create launcher.. change application to location and browse for it
[02:39] <jason_> I did install Flash plug in my firefox
[02:39] <ChaosTheory_> jason_: But how about Opera?
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni_ did you try what I suggested earlier
[02:40] <jason_> I think it is same
[02:40] <jason_> You should have a try
[02:40] <jason_> 为什么不试一下呢？
[02:40] <pen> how to force icons in systray to resize correctly?
[02:40] <arooni_> Jack_Sparrow, i'm sorry i don't know what you're referencing
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni_ 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 "--"
[02:40] <arooni_> Jack_Sparrow, thank hyou
[02:40] <Prez00> hello
[02:40] <arooni_> Jack_Sparrow, i selected safe graphics mode this time;.... is that likely to fail>?
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jason_ Please dont do that and avoid hitting enter quite as often.. use full sentences
[02:41] <jason_> I was typing chinese characters.I am sorry.I am chinese
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni_ yes
[02:41] <Prez00> can someone try http://www.laprensa.com.ni and see if it crashes their firefox 3.0...
[02:41] <zendo> unop: I have sylpheed-claws-gtk2 although it still doesnt turn up to be installed in adept_manager...
[02:42] <Prez00> this seems to have just started
[02:42] <arooni_> Jack_Sparrow, is it safe to just hard reset comp now?
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni_ on livecd.. yes
[02:42] <Blaqlight> alright something a easier, I changed the colors in the terminal to colorize the prompt and I don't remeber how I changed it.
[02:42] <thunar> Prez00: works on my firefox
[02:42] <cirkit> Prez00: works fine here
[02:42] <arooni_> Jack_Sparrow, should the gutsy cd work with nvidia card?  or do i need to dload hardy
[02:42] <Prez00> thunar: weird, why would it crash mine... hmmm
[02:42] <jtrask> hi everyone. i seem to've just borked my CD drive. which is a shame because i want to do a clean ubuntu install onto one of my disks. any way i can run that install from inside of my running ubuntu system?
[02:43] <cirkit> Prez00: try clearing your cache, quitting firefox, and re-opening that website again.
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni_ It should work with hardy, most of my boxes still run gutsy
[02:43] <pen> how to force icons in systray to resize correctly?

[02:49] <sacul> unop: your command for randomshadowbmg (whom is also gone btw) its beautiful and elegant but not the easiest solution to creating links on your desktop..  I like it
[02:49] <jaminkle> any ideas why
[02:50]  * enos asks for opinion: DO WOMEN USE UBUNTU?
[02:50] <unop> sacul, i think it's much easier than using the mouse and launchers
[02:50] <anteaya> daryl_, explain the problem and if someone knows they will respond
[02:50] <unop> enos, yes
[02:50] <arooni_> is there a command to run a live cd (with NO GUI)???
[02:50] <arooni_> specifically gutsy
[02:50] <daryl_> I have a Layla20 but it won't work
[02:50] <ShinjinAkage> IndyGunFreak: did you see the link?
[02:51] <sacul> enos: my girl runs hardy quite proficiently
[02:51] <unop> enos, there are quite a few regular women users who come in here
[02:51]  * Gauss needs help really bad.
[02:51] <Odd-rationale> arooni_: use the alternative cd...
[02:51] <anteaya> daryl_, extrapolate on "it won't work"
[02:51] <Prez00> cirkit: ok, will do, for now will use swiftweasel...
[02:51] <unop> keri, open up a terminal and run the command.   sudo dpkg --configure -a

[02:52] <keri> ok
[02:52] <mpn> any way possible to su root?
[02:52] <unop> zendo, strange -- you could download the .deb file from a mirror and manually install it
[02:52] <rampageoberon> Hi, I need some help with a very strange problem - usually after a reboot when I start a video my screen freezes (kind off) and keyboard stops responding.

[02:52] <unop> jtrask, more about what?
[02:52] <daryl_> I'm a newb. But any audio program I open give me an error.
[02:53] <zendo> unop: ok unop, thanks for your time
[02:53] <jtrask> doing a clean install from inside of a running system? you said it's possible
[02:53] <phaedral> I'm looking at bug number 234881, but it looks ATI specific.  I'm having the same problem with my wifi drivers on a macbook pro: They show as enabled but not in use.  I have tried disabling, rebooting, re-enabling, but same result: enabled but not in use.
[02:53] <jeff_> anyone here know how to get an ATI card to work with a widescreen monitor?
[02:53] <phaedral> It looks like my answer is to re-do the wifi enabling steps.
[02:53] <anteaya> daryl_, what programs have you tried to open and what kind of error have you gotten?
[02:53] <jtrask> i have two disks, both of which can be wiped clean. one of them is currently running ubuntu, and my goal is to get a clean ubuntu install on either of them without a CD drive.
[02:54] <anteaya> daryl_, if the error is longer than one line use pastebin and bring the url to the channel
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> !install | jtrask
[02:54] <unop> jtrask,  are you planning on reinstalling the existing ubuntu install  or install ubuntu fresh on the second partition?
[02:54] <phaedral> Should I add to the existing bug?
[02:54] <daryl_> Ardour. No devices found.
[02:54] <Gauss> I submitted bug #240742 almost two months ago, and nothing has changed about it, and recently now I can no longer get the Nvidia drivers working at all.
[02:55] <keri> unop, http://pastebin.com/m210cc217
[02:55] <unop> keri, is that all you got there?
[02:55] <Gauss> It is FAR from new, it's two months old with no change whatsoever and now a permanent problem.
[02:55] <daryl_> x
[02:55] <jtrask> unop: i dont need the existing one. but i imagine it's easier to get a clean install onto a disk that i'm not using, than to try to work on the one i'm inside of
[02:55] <phaedral> The wifi instructions I followed are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireles
[02:55] <tc111> after a kernel update, my encrypted lvm is not accessible (won't accept passphrase)... 2.6.24-16-generic works but nothing after that up to 2.6.24-19-generic... error is "cryptsetup: cryptsetup failed. bad password or options?"
[02:55] <phaedral> and it worked for a while, seemed to tank after trying a mod at the same page to .xmodmap
[02:56] <keri> on that page yes
[02:56] <arooni__> can someone please tell me if the ubuntu hardy alt cd has badblocks installed?
[02:56] <cyphase> interesting.. when i make my mouse cursor bigger with compiz, it becomes the normal size when it's inside the firefox window
[02:56] <anteaya> daryl_, do you have sound when you start ubuntu?
[02:56] <keri> something else opened up saying package configuration
[02:56] <cyphase> and when it changes to the text cursor, etc
[02:56] <daryl_> No.
[02:56] <anteaya> daryl_, like the start theme music?
[02:56] <daryl_> Nothing
[02:56] <crdlb> cyphase: are you using ubuntu's official compiz packages?
[02:57] <realityloop> My hard drive light flashes constantly with 8.04.. is there a way to fix this?
[02:57] <cyphase> crdlb: yes
[02:57] <arooni__> whats the best boot cd that has badblocks installed?
[02:57] <phaedral> Is there a better place to be asking this question?  I'm running Hardy (8.04LTS) on a 2.16 Core Duo MacBook Pro
[02:57] <anteaya> daryl_, have you ever had sound with this ubuntu install?
[02:57] <keri> unop, http://pastebin.com/m1a5d41b
[02:57] <unop> jtrask, well, if you want you can reinstall every single package that's on the existing install -- pretty much like a reinstall - this could help if you have a deep-rooted problem -- or you could setup a chroot (see !chroot) on the second disk and install ubuntu within it
[02:57] <Alfarin> I installed Ubuntu 7.10 first, and eventually upgraded to 8.04...  how overtly complicated would it be if I now want to dual boot Windows XP?
[02:57] <crdlb> cyphase: does restarting firefox help? Firefox and OO.o both handle cursor themes internally
[02:57] <daryl_> I also have a Creative X-fi in
[02:57] <unop> !chroot | jtrask
[02:57] <daryl_> No
[02:58] <cyphase> crdlb: i don't need a large cursor, i was just trying it out. but it might be a little annoying to someone who does need them
[02:58] <cyphase> crdlb: hold on
[02:58] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to set the wx variable in code::blocks?
[02:58] <anteaya> daryl_, then is appears as though your sound drivers are not configured
[02:58] <arooni__> i need to burn the ubuntu hardy alternative cd... i have a thinkpad with a dvdrw drive... what speed should i burn the alternative cd at (its going into a sony dvd writer drive)
[02:58] <user_> a
[02:58] <daryl_> I ran lsmod and it shows layla20 in slot 2
[02:58] <anteaya> daryl_, but alas i do not know how to do that
[02:59] <anteaya> daryl_, my suggestion would be to join #alsa
[02:59] <cyphase> crdlb: doesn't help
[02:59] <user_> rgsgdfg
[02:59] <SeaPhor> arooni_, slowest
[02:59] <daryl_> Thanks
[02:59] <anteaya> daryl_, and ask someone to help you configure your sound drivers properly
[02:59] <user_> hello
[02:59] <anteaya> daryl_, I found them to be very helpful with my sound problems
[03:00] <crdlb> cyphase: and the cursor size changes take effect in firefox when using metacity?
[03:00] <dstrbdfrk1> is there such a thing as a wifi cracker?
[03:00] <anteaya> daryl_, welcome
[03:00] <mastrgamr> is there a 64bit adobe flash player?
[03:00] <unop> jtrask, once you have setup the base system in the chroot .. run this command.  sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop linux-image # that installs the desktop and kernel .. then you need to setup grub for this new install. see the grub-install manpage for instructions on that
[03:00] <rryan> haha : dstrbdfrk1: yes, mastrgamr: no
[03:00] <SeaPhor> arooni_, good rule of thumb- always burn ISOs at slowest speed
[03:00] <cyphase> crdlb: i don't know. i'm using the option in the advanced compiz config manager, under General Options
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> dstrbdfrk1 There is,but you are on thin ice discussing it in here
[03:00] <unop> keri, select ok here
[03:01] <crdlb> cyphase: oh, that's part of ubuntu's patch to compiz
[03:01] <mastrgamr> is there anyway i can view flash on websites with a 64 bit linux?
[03:01] <dstrbdfrk1> oh .. ok sorry
[03:01] <Flynsarmy> Does ubuntu 32-bit support more than 3gigs of RAM?
[03:01] <user_> vn
[03:01] <jtrask> unop: i want my chroot to be the second drive?
[03:01] <crdlb> cyphase: that code needs to be replaced with some sort of an upstream solution
[03:01] <unop> Flynsarmy, it supports upto 4GB of RAM
[03:01] <cyphase> crdlb: what's part of the patch exactly?
[03:01] <unop> jtrask, yes indeed, as that is the drive you want to install ubuntu on
[03:01] <richard_> I think a package is missing. I try to install libssl-dev and get 404s.
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Flynsarmy 32 bit supports 4 gig but you will only see 3.2 or so when running generic kernel
[03:02] <LetsGo67> How do I use an iPod in iTunes in Ubuntu?
[03:02] <keri> unop, will not let me hit ok
[03:02] <crdlb> cyphase: those two options; compiz doesn't have cursor theme support without it
[03:02] <cyphase> crdlb: oh
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> keri tab
[03:02] <unop> keri, use your TAB key to select OK .. then hit ENTER
[03:03] <Flynsarmy> Jack_Sparrow, Why won't it display as using 4gig?
[03:03] <mastrgamr> how can i view flash on websites with 64 bit linux? sites like youtube?
[03:03] <richard_> Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main libssl-dev 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.1 404 Not Found
[03:03] <crdlb> cyphase: if you set it in gnome (in Appearance), firefox should read it
[03:03] <Flynsarmy> mastrgamr, Install 32-bit firefox and get flash player for that
[03:03] <unop> LetsGo67, itunes does not work on linux (except if you install it with wine) -- there are quite a few other applications that can transfer music to and from your ipod.  gtkpod, rhythmbox, etc
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Flynsarmy it uses it differently,  use the server kernel if you must see the 4 gigs
[03:04] <richard_> Followed by: Err http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main libssl-dev 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.1 404 Not Found

[03:05] <keri> unop, http://pastebin.com/m2c571971
[03:05] <mastrgamr> i dont know how to switch to 32 bit linux O_O
[03:05] <Flynsarmy> mrpockets, Install samba if you haven't already
[03:05] <mrpockets> \\ip..address.goes.here\foldername      in RUN should do it, no?
[03:05] <cyphase> crdlb: the default pointer doesn't support it there. maybe that'll be fixed for intrepid, along with integrating compiz with that setting
[03:05] <LetsGo67> unop, sorry, read above.
[03:05] <mastrgamr> how do i do that
[03:05] <mrpockets> Flynsarmy,  its all up, just trying to get to it from Windows
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr Install the 32 bit version
[03:05] <mastrgamr> lol. simple
[03:05] <crdlb> cyphase: do you have Vanilla-DMZ in the list?
[03:06] <unop> LetsGo67, I am not sure i get what you mean. What do you mean exactly?
[03:06] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to set the wx variable in code::blocks?
[03:06] <richard_> unop, that worked. Thanks a lot.
[03:06] <danbhfive> mastrgamr: you have to install from scratch
[03:06] <speart> hi
[03:06] <unop> keri, is that all the output you have there now?
[03:06] <mastrgamr> ... i rather struggle with 64 bit ='(
[03:06] <danbhfive> mastrgamr: why?
[03:06] <keri> unop, http://pastebin.com/m50e38f38
[03:07] <cyphase> crdlb: i have DMZ-White, among others. i know it supports size changes
[03:07] <keri> now that is it
[03:07] <speart> it's just me or the 8.04 Xorg is buggy? I can't install ATi Catalyst
[03:07] <elmer> reyes
[03:07] <unop> keri, cool, it's fixed - you can go about doing what you were on to earlier :)

[03:07] <LetsGo67> unop, how do I sync iTunes store music to my iPod with Linux?
[03:07] <keri> unop, and Jack_Sparrow  thank you for your help
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[03:08] <unop> keri, yw
[03:08] <speart> IMHO there is just no reason to upgrade
[03:08] <danbhfive> mastrgamr: well, its up to you, but I thought earlier you were saying you were new to linux.  If thats the case, I think its silly to hassle with 64bit.  Doing an install of 32bit will be easier than sorting out all the issues AFAIK
[03:08] <keri> nite all
[03:08] <cyphase> hmm, i just noticed the Locate Pointer option in the Mouse Preferences dialog is compiz-ified
[03:08] <jtrask> unop: so no chance of getting the completeness/convenience of running the actual installer? have to format/partition the disk, make it the boot device, create home dir...
[03:08] <crdlb> cyphase: compositified technically :)
[03:08] <cyphase> crdlb: i know :)
[03:08] <crdlb> it works with any composite manager
[03:08] <unop> LetsGo67, errm, i've never used the itunes store -- how is music downloaded from the itunes store on linux? do you know?
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> mastrgamr Switch to 32 bit..  You are getting good advice
[03:09] <Flynsarmy> Are they ever going to make a nice, simple, GUI way of changing the default DVD application?
[03:09] <LetsGo67> unop: using Wine.
[03:10] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: there is one
[03:10] <unop> jtrask, not without a CD i'm afraid - but you can partition, format, setup grub, etc, etc without the CD - it's just long-winded
[03:10] <speart> I get a problems with debian symbols on 8.04 when installing ATI driver
[03:10] <unop> LetsGo67, errm, have you tried using itunes with wine and connecting your ipod up?
[03:10] <Flynsarmy> cyphase, I was googling around the other day but couldn't find it. Care to fill me in?
[03:10] <jtrask> hooboy. and didnt we *just* get an installer that could be run from inside of windows? ;)
[03:10] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: open a nautilus window, Edit menu, Preferences, Media tab
[03:10] <jtrask> ... not that id expect that to work from wine...
[03:11] <speart> ATI driver ANYONE?
[03:11] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: it used to be in System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media
[03:11] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: i don't know why they removed it from there
[03:11] <Flynsarmy> cyphase, How do i get VLC into the list?
[03:12] <arooni__> at what speed should i burn the alternative cd (hardy)?  its going into a sony dvd writer drive ( to read)
[03:12] <unop> LetsGo67, if that doesn't work - you should be able to copy the music from the My Documents\My Music\ITunes (within wine) folder to your ipod using gtkpod or rhythmbox
[03:12] <cirkit> arooni__: 8x
[03:12] <pixelmonkey> does anyone know a tool I can use to do subnet active IP address scans?
[03:12] <unop> pixelmonkey, nmap
[03:12] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: i don't know. you were able to do that in the Removable Drives and Media dialog. again, no idea why they removed it
[03:13] <yoyoned> pixelmonkey: or zenmap for gui
[03:13] <pixelmonkey> unop, cool, let me give that a try
[03:13] <cyphase> Flynsarmy: i'm sure there's a way.. not as simple as it should be though

[03:19] <crdlb> speart: you're using gutsy?
[03:20] <speart> I lost track of the naming scheme to be honest :)
[03:20] <cyphase> speart: 7.10?
[03:20] <speart> yeah
[03:20] <cyphase> crdlb: yes for speart ;)
[03:20] <crdlb> speart: 8.04 (hardy) is the one that has fglrx 8-3
[03:20] <crdlb> 7.10 has a much older version (8.37 or so on the old versioning scheme)
[03:20] <rampageoberon> cirkit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23642/
[03:21] <speart> I know, I can install the driver from ATI site without any issues on gutsy
[03:22] <crdlb> speart: you've lost me. You're on gutsy having trouble installing fglrx from the ATI site on gutsy, yet you can install it without any issues on gutsy?
[03:22] <speart> nm, I found a fix for the error at cchtml

[03:24] <arvind_khadri> cyphase, ok
[03:24] <speart> I'll give the fix a try on a VM
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow>  /cs k cyphase
[03:25] <cyphase> Jack_Sparrow: i was kidding.. sorry if i'm not supposed to do that :S..
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Not Funny
[03:26] <Gandalf> NONE SHALL LAUGH.
[03:26] <cyphase> not supposed to joke i mean. i know i'm not supposed to actually "RTFM" people
[03:27] <Cyndre> how do I change the run level of one of my programs I want run at boot?
[03:27] <arvind_khadri> cyphase, what does RFTM mean btw??
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> cyphase Not everyone see the humpor in the Foul language used in that translation.. do not use it again
[03:27] <speart> is there a chance for a final FF3 for gutsy?
[03:27] <OddishB> arvind_khadri: Read the manual.
[03:27] <cyphase> arvind_khadri: Read The Freaking Manual
[03:27] <snikedoodle35> HI
[03:28] <emma> Someone told me, "Read the Fine Manual" :)
[03:28] <sacul> read the fedora manual?
[03:28] <cyphase> emma: yea, that's what i meant of course
[03:28] <cyphase> ;)
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak_> sacul: lol, clever
[03:28] <arvind_khadri> cyphase, :) oh ok ... i wanted to know that does grub use the same password we use to login or is it set separately
[03:28] <cirkit> rampageoberon: it looks like a bug within the intel chipset driver itself. You may want to re-install the intel driver, then backup your xorg.conf and run X -configure to make a new xorg.conf file. If video still freezes with latest intel drivers for your Intel 915GM Chipset, file a bug report.
[03:29] <anteaya> if i have a package in /usr/src/modules can i get aptitude or apt-get to fetch it from there and install it?
[03:29] <cirkit> rampageoberon: let me see if I can find any other useful information about this issue
[03:29] <cyphase> arvind_khadri: i'm sure you could hack together a way to make it always the same, bu by default it's separate
[03:29] <rampageoberon> cirkit: i'll try reinstall the drivers now, thanks for this help :)
[03:30] <cyphase> arvind_khadri: maybe there's already a relatively easy way to do it now
[03:30] <arvind_khadri> cyphase, ok thats what i wanted to know :D so how do i make it same??
[03:30] <Drk_Guy> Where can i find libglade-config?
[03:30] <Drk_Guy> I needed to compile loki-setup
[03:30] <bsusa> hello
[03:31] <cyphase> arvind_khadri: that's what i was saying. as far as i know grub doesn't support using your username password to lock grub entries. but you might be able to write a script to make the grub password change when your username password changes
[03:31] <Ashfire908> Can encrypted dvds cause read errors?
[03:31] <cyphase> arvind_khadri: or you could just change the grub password when you change your username password
[03:31] <bsusa> Could someone please tell me how i can use direct3d and directdraw in ubuntu? Do i Just install DirectX9.0c?

[03:32] <cyphase> bsusa: you can't install directx in ubuntu. it's a microsoft product, therefore it's windows-only
[03:32] <dr_Willis> bsusa,  ive seen some wine 'guides' on using directx, you do mean installing it with wine right? but from what i recall reading.. installing directx under wine. dident help things much.
[03:32] <snikedoodle35> can someone tell me how to access my slave HD in ubuntu 8.04
[03:32] <TheDJACR> Eww Windows
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> TheDJACR Please dont post a link without a description of the problem
[03:32] <bsusa> yeh thats right with wine
[03:32] <cyphase> bsusa: that said, look into wine. it can "emulate" directx

[03:33] <bsusa> could you please tell me is their much a difference between OpenGL and DirectX
[03:33] <cyphase> nickrud: what?
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> TheDJACR It just helps you get the attention of someone with experience in that area
[03:33] <nickrud> Drk_Guy try searching on packages.ubuntu.com
[03:34] <TheDJACR> Jack_Sparrow: Ah, ok, do you have any ideas?
[03:34] <nickrud> cyphase you stole my joke
[03:34] <spanther> bsusa, well...openGL is from the open source teams and DirectX is microsoft's proprietary one :)
[03:34] <cyphase> nickrud: how do you know you weren't gong to steal mine?
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> TheDJACR I am done for the night...  someone will have an answer
[03:34] <bsusa> oh ok, so their competitors fairnough
[03:34] <nickrud> snikedoodle35 if you check places, it should be listed there
[03:34] <nickrud> snikedoodle35 places on the menu, that is.
[03:35] <bsusa> so they should be about the same then ok
[03:35] <bsusa> thatnk for the help
[03:35] <TheDJACR> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843719 is about a DVD/CD drive that fails to read some media. Any ideas?
[03:35] <spanther> bsusa DirectX is just a way how microsoft wants to bind users to windows cause you need windows for DirectX and so you need windows for windows games ;)  most openGL windows games run fine in linux too :)
[03:35] <djzn> hi dudes... i wanted to install ubuntu, but I also wanted to have a "full set" of compiling stuff, from all things in the system... kinda like slackware, able to compile just about anything....
[03:35] <nickrud> bsusa lots of games in windows use gl
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> nickrud: sorry, but no packages contain that file
[03:36] <Drk_Guy> nickrud: Where can i compile it then?
[03:36] <nickrud> Drk_Guy not suprised, that's for the loki game installer?
[03:36] <bsusa> Cool thanks heaps guys
[03:36] <Drk_Guy> nickrud: Yeah, need it to uninstall a game that used it - racer
[03:36] <cirkit> djzn: yes you can still use a toolchain like in Slackware.
[03:36] <anteaya> if i have a package in /usr/src/modules can i get aptitude or apt-get to fetch it from there and install it?
[03:36] <TheDJACR> djzn: You can compile in Ubuntu
[03:37] <djzn> I know I can, but anything gnome related... never gets to compile
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> TheDJACR I have found many Dells that did not like cd's burned at anything but a slow speed. like 4 or 8x
[03:37] <djzn> i wanted to have every -dev of what's installed on the system, any easy way?
[03:37] <nickrud> Drk_Guy hm, lemme look
[03:37] <cirkit> djzn: yes, you can use synaptic to search for -dev related files
[03:37] <TheDJACR> Jack_Sparrow: The CD/DVD drive only reads non A/V disks
[03:37] <bsusa> Yep and just another thing, i cant get my themes to work using emerald. When i select the theme it only changes the window borders, and not everything else on the theme.
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> djzn install build-essentials
[03:37] <Drk_Guy> Ok nickrud
[03:37] <Spaztastic> I have a small problem today my brothers Ubuntu system updated for the first time, and when it updated it attempted to update something about his video drivers, when he rebooted his computer it will startup like normal and bring up the login screen as well as the PW screen, upon logging in the screen will go black and on the monitor there will be a box that says "Attention Input not supported" what can we do to fix this prob
[03:37] <Spaztastic> lem?? Should we just reinstall Ubuntu again?
[03:38] <djzn> dev related files for everything that is installed???
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !build-essential
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> djzn or   sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
[03:38] <cyphase> Spaztastic: it's unlikely that will fix the problem, as it will just update to the buggy driver again. although, you can block an update
[03:39] <Drk_Guy> nickrud: libglade0-dev contains it on debian, gonna try it out
[03:39] <Spaztastic> cyphase: So this means I'll need to figure out which update caused this?
[03:39] <cyphase> Spaztastic: it's strange it'll boot into the login screen but not the account. was he using compiz?
[03:39] <nickrud> Drk_Guy was going there next, it's not in dapper even
[03:39] <cyphase> Spaztastic: there have only been 2 video driver updates recently
[03:40] <Drk_Guy> nickrud: Then how can i replace it on ./configure?
[03:40] <nickrud> Drk_Guy you'll probably need libglade0 from debian as well, source compiled
[03:40] <cyphase> Spaztastic: but you said it was the first update of that system, so it could be any driver updated since the release. is he using 8.04?

[03:41] <spanther> please what was this ???.......
[03:41] <spanther> why spamming this text about windows here ö.ö
[03:42] <bsusa> Could someone please help me, i cant get my themes to work using emerald. When i select the theme it only changes the window borders, and not everything else on the theme.
[03:42] <www> he thinks he is being funny
[03:42] <foxhop> heh, Wrong channel
[03:42] <Spaztastic> cyphase: My brother says it was a driver update 3D for his nvidia card. It's the first time he has taken his system online so he had a bunch of updates to go through, he says the second set of updates is when the problem arose.
[03:42] <nickrud> Drk_Guy check out pkg-config, I think it replaces libglade-config , like so  pkg-config libglade --cflags --libs
[03:42] <Kyle____> bsusa: emerald is just window borders
[03:42] <spanther> www, i see o.o"
[03:42] <Kyle____> change gtk2 as well
[03:42] <Drk_Guy> Ok nickrud
[03:42] <spanther> bsusa, emerald only changes window borders and supports effects :)
[03:42] <cyphase> Spaztastic: second set? he shouldn't have needed to have more than 1 set of updates. the nvidia driver updated a few days ago
[03:42] <bsusa> oh
[03:42] <jtisme> #gc
[03:43] <bsusa> so which program should i use to apply full themes
[03:43] <nickrud> Drk_Guy I stopped looking at gnome code before pkg-config started taking over, so I can't give you any help on usage
[03:43] <cyphase> Spaztastic: he could try going back to the older version
[03:43] <bsusa> or do i have to install them manually?
[03:43] <arooni__> can someone help me to use the systemrescuecd to run badblocks?
[03:43] <cyphase> bsusa: what themes?
[03:43] <nickrud> bsusa gtk2 themes for the stuff inside the window borders
[03:43] <TheDJACR> lol
[03:44] <nickrud> !themes | bsusa
[03:44] <cyphase> bsusa: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Theme tab
[03:44] <Spaztastic> cyphase: He says he had 205 updates for his system ater installing those he rebooted the box and when he came back online again he had an Nvidia update and it wanted to update the 3D or something like this (Very difficult to explain because they live in FL and I have them on the phone)
[03:44] <cyphase> Spaztastic: so he can't get into his account?
[03:44] <bsusa> k will give it a go thankyou
[03:45] <cyphase> Spaztastic: on the phone right now?
[03:45] <Spaztastic> cyphase: You got it, when he logs in like normal it gives a black screen and tells him the input is not supported. Yes I have them on the phone right now.
[03:46] <OddishB> Could someone please walk me through the process of diagnosing the cause of a system freeze or point me to a guide that could?
[03:46] <rampageoberon> cirkit: would you know why the freeze happens occasionally with some video files repeatedly with a vob?
[03:46] <wuxia> i just installed vmware and it screwed up my nvbidia drivers ... what's the ubuntu way to tell my system to reinstall the nvidia drivers?
[03:46] <snikedoodle35> ﻿I want to use Utorrent on my Ubuntu.  How do I do it?  Thanx
[03:46] <cyphase> Spaztastic: you could try connecting to his computer and fixing it on the command line. i get the feeling he's not to computer-savvy
[03:47] <danc3> snikedoodle35: install it
[03:47] <rampageoberon> snikedoodle35: you need to install wine and run using that
[03:47] <__yy> snikedoodle35: with wine
[03:47] <cyphase> snikedoodle35: try using WINE. i don't know it'll work
[03:47] <cyphase> danc3: i think it's windows only
[03:47] <Spaztastic> cyphase: That's correct. Is there anyway or him to boot ubuntu without the gui? Like run it as a terminal. So he can atleast apt-get ssh for me to help him.
[03:47] <OddishB> I had success in the past with utorrent 1.2 and Wine.
[03:47] <rampageoberon> cyphase: utorrent works over wine i think
[03:47] <OddishB> @ snikedoodle35
[03:47] <danc3> heh, then why would anyone want to use that on Ubuntu?  There are plenty of torrent clients available for Linux.
[03:48] <luisgmarine> Hello anyone have ICH8 sound card, and you might happen to know how to fix a sound capture program
[03:48] <cyphase> Spaztastic: once he gets to the login screen, press Alt+F6
[03:48] <cirkit> rampageoberon: if you're trying to open a .vob individually that could be the issue right there. These sound like copyrighted DVD content which would require something like libdvdcss. Try opening up mplayer or vlc, they give you the option of opening up a "DVD" disc, instead of trying to open up the .VOB files.
[03:48] <cyphase> rampageoberon: i know, i meant it wouldn't run native on linux
[03:48] <bsusa> Sry, how would i know which version of GTK i have?
[03:48] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Having him do that now.
[03:49] <LetsGo67> iPod doesn't work with Banshee at all!  Can someone help please?
[03:49] <cyphase> Spaztastic: how are you going to connect though? you have to ssh into him, not the other way around. unless you want to tunnel through his connection to you
[03:49] <cyphase> LetsGo67: it's not that bad. it does work somewhat
[03:49] <cyphase> LetsGo67: try #banshee on the gnome irc server
[03:49] <LetsGo67> cyphase: iPod shuffle?
[03:50] <rampageoberon> cirkit: okay will do that with vob's. I get this issue occasionally with Xvid files too, which is why I think its strange. Driver issue like you said there or something else?
[03:50] <cyphase> LetsGo67: hmm.. i don't know
[03:50] <cyphase> LetsGo67: again, you should try the #banshee on the gnome server
[03:50] <LetsGo67> How do I access gnome server?
[03:50] <cyphase> LetsGo67: depends on your client
[03:51] <Spaztastic> cypher: Will he be able to apt-get install ssh? If he can I can ssh to him.
[03:51] <bsusa> Sry, how would i know which version of GTK i have?
[03:51] <cyphase> Spaztastic: is he behind a router? then you need his IP address
[03:51] <Spaztastic> cyphase: He's straight into the modem.
[03:52] <cyphase> Spaztastic: ah
[03:52] <LetsGo67> cyphase: Opera 9.5
[03:52] <cirkit> rampageoberon: it does sound video related. Make sure you have all the necessary video codecs / plugins installed too. Re-install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[03:52] <cyphase> LetsGo67: no idea :)
[03:52] <Drk_Guy> !medibuntu | rampageoberon
[03:52] <amrik> So guys I think I have a problem. I am getting some ridiculous cron messages and something about "phalanx2 injected"

[03:53] <Shaba1> Hey guy
[03:53] <Shaba1> how do I unpack a tar.gz file with root permissions
[03:53] <elpargo> will someone recommend me a twin panel scp GUI client?
[03:53] <Spaztastic> cyphase: He's telling me that when he does ALT+F6 nothing happends.
[03:53] <danc3> Shaba1: as root
[03:53] <LetsGo67> cyphase: what is the URL?
[03:53] <Shaba1> I know it is sudo untar lost
[03:53] <rampageoberon> cirkit: Yes I've reinstalled xserver-xorg-video-intel, and codecs are fine too (installed ubuntu-restricted-extras) and usually play videos with vlc
[03:53] <rampageoberon> thanks Drk_Guy
[03:53] <danc3> Shaba1: huh?
[03:53] <allienn> anyone can help ?
[03:54] <Drk_Guy> rampageoberon: NP
[03:54] <cirkit> rampageoberon: it also just sounds like the correct plugins for whatever video application you are trying to use are not installed.
[03:54] <Shaba1> Well danc3 that is exactly what I am asking
[03:54] <cirkit> rampageoberon: installed totem and gstreamer?
[03:54] <Shaba1> what is the command
[03:54] <rampageoberon> cirkit: yes
[03:54] <OddishB> Could someone please walk me through the process of diagnosing the cause of a system freeze or point me to a guide that could?  I've checked all of my system logs and found nothing and am wondering if there is anything else I can do before I start experimenting?
[03:54] <cirkit> ok
[03:54] <Drk_Guy> cirkit: only libdvdcss2 is needed, don't confuse him
[03:54] <danc3> Shaba1: "untar lost"?  What does that mean?
[03:54] <Shaba1> I meant to say after that I am lost
[03:54] <cirkit> Drk_Guy: I already mentioned libdvdcss to him.
[03:55] <nickrud> OddishB last time I was getting system freezes, it was my ram. I used memtest on each stick to identify the bd one
[03:55] <cirkit> rampageoberon: don't mean to confuse you.
[03:55] <danc3> Shaba1: well then, say that, so people can understand you.  That isn't what you typed.
[03:55] <Shaba1> I know it is sudo untar, but after that I am lost
[03:55] <OddishB> nickrud: RAM is good, I memtested it when I got it last week.  >_>
[03:55] <allienn> i got ubuntu 8.04 and i have a realtek 8111b 8168b and i got a problem ... e connect the ethrnet cable and nothig happend if i reboot and plugin the cable when i get to the desktop he make de connection but i can't get internet
[03:55] <danc3> never heard of the "untar" command, Shaba1 , but the correct command would be:
[03:55] <rampageoberon> cirkit: I do get the videos working usually. its just when i reboot then it will cause this occasionally and once i hard reboot the videos play fine. no idea why it does that
[03:55] <cyphase> Spaztastic: sorry about that
[03:55] <nickrud> OddishB so did I, but a few weeks later, one had bad bits
[03:55] <Spaztastic> cyphase: It's cool no worries.
[03:55] <cyphase> Spaztastic: weird problem with my computer
[03:55] <OddishB> Hm.
[03:55] <danc3> Shaba1: sudo tar -xzvf <filename.tar.gz>
[03:55] <rampageoberon> cirkit: and no its not confusing, any help is welcome :)
[03:56] <nickrud> OddishB a general rule of silicon is it either breaks right away, or lasts a long time
[03:56] <cyphase> Spaztastic: did you say anything after saying he was connected to the modem?
[03:56] <Spaztastic> cyphase: For some reason when he hits ALT+6 nothing happends.
[03:56] <Shaba1> ok how do I tell it do go to a specific directory
[03:56] <cyphase> Spaztastic: Alt+F6*
[03:56] <Shaba1> such as /usr/lib/eclipse
[03:56] <cyphase> Spaztastic: oh! sorry!
[03:56] <OddishB> nickrud: Ha, I know that.  My brand new 9600GT blew up on me after 4 days of light usage.
[03:56] <cyphase> Spaztastic: Ctrl+Alt+F6*
[03:56] <danc3> Shaba1: be in the directory you want it to end up in, when you issue the command
[03:56] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yeah my F button doesn't like to work.
[03:57] <allienn> i got ubuntu 8.04 and i have a realtek 8111b 8168b and i got a problem ... e connect the ethrnet cable and nothig happend if i reboot and plugin the cable when i get to the desktop he make de connection but i can't get internet
[03:57] <cyphase> Spaztastic: you need Ctrl to if you're showing an X display. it's Ctrl+Alt+F6
[03:57] <amrik> help I think one of my machines has been rooted!
[03:57] <danc3> amrik: what would you like us to do about that?
[03:57] <Shaba1> thanks

I believe it has something to do with the recent bonding of my ethernet cards. I have posted on the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843923 . Any help will be gladly appreciated
[03:57] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Ty that worked getting him to login now. Then I'll get him to install ssh.
[03:57] <danc3> welcome
[03:58] <LetsGo67> cyphase: what is the URL?
[03:58] <cirkit> amrik: please install rkhunter or chkrootkit to run a scan test for any rootkit files.
[03:58] <nickrud> amrik if you even suspect, you should save data and reinstall. Peace of mind
[03:58] <Shaba1> will that preserver the directory structure within the archive Dark-Fx
[03:58] <Shaba1> sorry danc3
[03:58] <danc3> yes
[03:58] <amrik> nickrud: well actually i am pretty certain, what should i be aware of when I try to restore data from backups and reinstall?
[03:58] <amrik> danc3: no u
[03:58] <danc3> Shaba1: yes
[03:58] <cyphase> LetsGo67: for? oh, the gnome server? sorry.. i had to restart my client. irc://irc.gnome.org/#banshee
[03:58] <jaminkle> hey i just broke something.. i was playing with gtk 2 themes and now its all dead when i boot after i log in it plays the login sound but nothing comes up is there a way i can reinstall gtk or something from shell
[03:59] <danc3> amrik: "no u"?  What does that mean?
[03:59] <nickrud> amrik if possible, use data from before the time you think you were rooted.
[03:59] <Jester45> earthmeLon: is port 21 accessable from the internet
[03:59] <nickrud> amrik personally I'm not worried about data, but the kernel and executables
[03:59] <LetsGo67> Thanks, cyphase.
[03:59] <amrik> nickrud: it might be a new security issue since i've tried googling some of the cruft output and havent found it
[04:00] <earthmeLon> Jester45, I am using another port (4177)
[04:00] <Jester45> earthmeLon: well is that port accessable
[04:00] <danc3> nickrud: not worried about data?  That's the only valuable thing on a computer!  The kernel and executables can be easily replaced.
[04:00] <nickrud> hm, cruft .... I'm not sure I'd use that as a final indicator, if you're going to test use cirkit 's advice
[04:00] <nickrud> danc3 being compromised
[04:01] <danc3> nickrud: huh?  "being compromised"?
[04:01] <earthmeLon> Jester45 on my LAN, yes, not over the internet. I think my router is not setting up portforwarding/DMZ correctly becuase of the recent bonding
[04:01] <LetsGo67> cyphase but it'S slow!
[04:01] <Jester45> danc3: not if the computer has no user data but is highly customized
[04:01] <nickrud> danc3 you came in late, we're talking about a potential root kit
[04:01] <cyphase> LetsGo67: what is? the server?
[04:01] <danc3> oh, not worried about *DATA* being compromised.  Please say what you mean
[04:01] <amrik> does phalanx2 ring a bell to anyone here?
[04:01] <nickrud> danc3 don't butt in :)))))))))) </joke>
[04:01] <Jester45> earthmeLon: well thats the problem, make sure you port forwarded to your ftpd
[04:02] <danc3> Jester45: true, but if it's highly customized, the /etc dir should be backed up as well
[04:02] <amrik> theres a cron script thats running every minute thats attempting to inject it. the first one worked using some sort of buffer overflow into kernel space and remapped some system calls.
[04:02] <cyphase> Spaztastic: is it working?
[04:02] <LetsGo67> cyphase: nvm, thanks, ttyl
[04:02] <cyphase> okay..
[04:02] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yes working with comp illiterate people :D Have to spell everything or them.]
[04:03] <cyphase> Spaztastic: that's the great thing about SSH (and VNC). you don't have to go through them ;)
[04:03] <earthmeLon> Jester45, I dont think the problem is as simple as assuring that my port forwording is set up correctly. I've had FTPD running before just fine. The only change I've made to the system that I can recognize as the problem is the bonding of my two NIC's
[04:04] <Jester45> earthmeLon: one problem you will have if your ftp port isnt accessable is the internet cant connect to it so.. it might not be the only problem but will be a problem
[04:04] <Spaztastic> cyphase: getting ssh installed now.
[04:05] <onisciente> Is rational install an antivirus in Ubuntu? What is the best?
[04:05] <cyphase> Spaztastic: good, good
[04:05] <Jester45> earthmeLon: if your sure your router is forwarded correctly then the binding is the problem
[04:05] <Shervin> I can't load up ubuntu anymore, it comes up with "no resume image,doing normal boot" and then asks for my login in a terminal like nature (kinda like when you press ctrl alt f1)
[04:05] <amrik> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23646/
[04:05] <earthmeLon> Jester45. Thanks for the suggestion. I am 100% sure that my router is set to correctly forward the ports to the server. I am almost certain it's the bonding that ruined it. Hopefully someone can tell me if there is a solution to the problem, or if I must un-bond my nics
[04:06] <|Juan|> is it normal to not have a gnome-session process running?
[04:06] <Shaba1> ok I just gave it up for now danc3
[04:06] <cyphase> Spaztastic: i know in this case they're plugged straight to the modem, but if they weren't, you could have them connect to you  via SSH (just give them the command), with an option to allow you to tunnel through to them
[04:06] <cyphase> Spaztastic: you would have to open your firewall
[04:06] <Shaba1> I know its something simple to do. But right at this moment I am getting frustrated with this complexity of linux
[04:06] <Jester45> Shervin login and run  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and see if that fixes it
[04:06] <Shaba1> with something that would take me like three mouse clicks to do in windows
[04:06] <cyphase> Shaba1: what are you trying to do?
[04:06] <Spaztastic> cyphase: He's having problems getting it installed it seems to be giving him unresolved errores... Unable to get certain archives.
[04:07] <danc3> Shaba1: why did you give up?
[04:07] <Shervin> ok i'll try
[04:07] <danc3> Shaba1: I told you the simple command to use... what's hard about that?
[04:07] <onisciente> Is rational install an antivirus in Ubuntu? What is the best?
[04:07] <cyphase> Spaztastic: hmm.. try sudo apt-get update first
[04:07] <Shaba1> Becasue I am tired and frustrated at how complex a simple download and extract is taking in linux
[04:07] <danc3> onisciente: no need
[04:07] <Shervin> jester45: what happens if that doesnt work
[04:07] <Spaztastic> cyphase: havin them do that now.
[04:07] <danc3> Shaba1: I told you the simple command to use... what's hard about that?
[04:07] <Jester45> !repeat | onisciente
[04:08] <onisciente> danc3: i'm definetely convert to Ubuntu, hehehe
[04:08] <Jester45> Shervin then youll get kicked back into the terminal
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak_> Shaba1: its not complex, its just different, youve probably been spoonfed "the windows way" for at least 10yrs.. you have to completely start over, and relearn a completely new OS.. when you do that, it will be much easier
[04:08] <onisciente> Jester45: i know man, sorry... it was an impulse, hehe
[04:08] <cyphase> Shaba1: what are you trying to do?
[04:08] <Shaba1> Yes I know its a more secure way for down this then it is in windows
[04:08] <danc3> Shaba1: I told you the simple command to use... what's hard about that?
[04:08] <Shaba1> but at this moment I would love the have the simple and unsecure
[04:08] <Shervin> Jester45: ok i'll try thanks for the help
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak_> Shaba1: well, thats a compromise a lot of us are not willing to make(myself included)
[04:09] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Everything failed to download when running apt-get update..
[04:09] <cyphase> Spaztastic: uninstall the nvidia driver. it should fall back to vesa
[04:09] <spanther> oh nooooes    art.ubuntu.com is dead
[04:09] <Shaba1> I know danc3
[04:09] <cyphase> Spaztastic: from there you can try fixing it
[04:10] <Jester45> onisciente: its only needed to protect other computers, if you run a server  that other windows machines access the linux AV will protect them by removeing the virus. it is really usefull for a mail server so that it doesnt spread viruses to other workstations
[04:10] <danc3> Shaba1: <shrug>
[04:10] <Shaba1> Ok first thing first
[04:10] <Shaba1> even before and beyond that extraction of the tar.
[04:10] <spanther> why is art.ubuntu.com not responding?
[04:10] <Spaztastic> cyphase: ok will try that
[04:10] <Shaba1> I use windows as my primary operating system
[04:11] <Shaba1> I am a windows network admin(unemployed at the moment)
[04:11] <dstaley> Does anyone know how to use wget?
[04:11] <cyphase> Shaba1: you're trying to extract a tar? what exactly is the situation?
[04:11] <danc3> dstaley: yes
[04:11] <jaminkle> can someone help me please, i was playing around with the apperence settings and gtk themes then it froze so i rebooted and now after i log in it just shows a blank light orange screen and nothing happens
[04:11] <Jester45> dstaley: run wget url
[04:11] <dstaley> XD
[04:11] <jaminkle> i need to restore gtk or something
[04:11] <Shaba1> I have downloaded and install xubuntu on a laptop just to get familiar with the linux world
[04:11] <dstaley> I figured that much
[04:11] <spanther> dstaley, man wget
[04:11] <spanther> :P
[04:11] <dstaley> But, what if I want to mirror one subdirectory?
[04:11] <onisciente> Jester45: i get it... thanks
[04:11] <danc3> dstaley: read the man page
[04:12] <danc3> it's quite simple
[04:12] <danc3> man wget
[04:12] <dstaley> Like, if I wanted to download everything under the subdirectory ubuntu.com/support/
[04:12] <danc3> dstaley: read the man page
[04:12] <nocturnal_> need some help
[04:12] <dstaley> Gah, let me go try again then/
[04:13] <adam7> dstaley: I'm not sure you can do that as there isn't anyway to get a directory listing from a web server -- look into spidering in the man page
[04:13] <Shaba1> I followed the instrustion from this page: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html To install a linux VNC server on that laptop
[04:13] <cyphase> Shaba1: i think i can help you, if you tell me what exactly you'r trying to do
[04:13] <Jester45> dstaley: use the man page its a lot better than just telling you, you might learn something
[04:13] <Shaba1> ok everyone follow me so far
[04:13] <Shaba1> take a look at that page if you have to.
[04:13] <Jester45> !ask > nocturnal_
[04:13] <nocturnal_> I can't get hellanzb to work...total newb
[04:13]  * danc3 checks out of the line waiting to help Shaba1 
[04:14] <snikedoodle35> how do i check my ip settings in ubuntu
[04:14] <adam7> Shaba1: there is nothing to do with tar on that page...
[04:14] <arooni__> whats the best program for burning isos?
[04:14] <SeaPhor> Shaba1, is this what you are looking for?   http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=63
[04:14] <danc3> nocturnal_: did you read the documentation on it?
[04:14] <nocturnal_> I used synoptic to install it but it does not work!
[04:14] <adam7> snikedoodle35: type ifconfig into the terminal, or right click on the network manager applet in the system tray and click about
[04:14] <Shaba1> Well danc3 I wanted everyone to have FULL information
[04:14] <Jester45> snikedoodle35: type ifconfig in a terminal or iwconfig if you use wireless
[04:14] <danc3> arooni__: cdrecord
[04:15] <danc3> nocturnal_: did you read the documentation on it?
[04:15] <Shaba1> well anyway
[04:15] <Shaba1> I followed the instructions at that page
[04:15] <Shaba1> and they seemed to work
[04:15] <jaminkle> can someone help me please, i was playing around with the apperence settings and gtk themes then it froze so i rebooted and now after i log in it just shows a blank beige screen and nothing happens
[04:15] <earthmeLon> Jester45. Thanks for the suggestion. I am 100% sure that my router is set to correctly forward the ports to the server. I am almost certain it's the bonding that ruined it. Hopefully someone can tell me if there is a solution to the problem, or if I must un-bond my nics
[04:15] <earthmeLon> Hello all!! I am having problems with connecting to my FTPD from a client over the internet (local connections work just fine). I believe it has something to do with the recent bonding of my ethernet cards. I have posted on the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843923 . Any help will be gladly appreciated
[04:16] <Shaba1> BUT when I log into the ip address of the laptop from my windows vnc views. It ask me for a password. Thats fine. Then I get to the opening xubuntu log on screen and I put in my usersname and password.
[04:16] <cyphase> jaminkle: sounds like it's trying to use compiz on a non supported video card
[04:16] <jaminkle> compiz is fine its been working
[04:16] <Shaba1> The xubuntu laptop's "desktop" comes up but it looks nothing like what is actually being displayed on the laptops actual monitor screen.
[04:16] <Shaba1> that is what has me confused.
[04:17] <cyphase> Shaba1: it's creating a new session for you to log into
[04:17] <jaminkle> but i was messing with the apperence settings and things started getting strange like if i changed to another theme everything woule change but the colors stayed the same
[04:17] <cyphase> Shaba1: that's how vnc4server works
[04:17] <wols_> earthmeLon: are you behind a router with your ftpd?
[04:17] <jaminkle> so i rebooted and now its just not even showing anything
[04:17] <Shaba1> ok cyphase I have no idea what a session is in linux
[04:18] <Shaba1> but ... how do I stop that
[04:18] <Shaba1> :)
[04:18] <cyphase> Shaba1: meaning, it's like someone logging in on a different account on the same machine
[04:18] <cyphase> Shaba1: there are 2 different sessions, one for each user
[04:18] <wols_> earthmeLon: what ports are you forwarding? which ones?
[04:18] <Shaba1> ok
[04:18] <cyphase> Shaba1: i don't think you can. like i said, that's the purpose of vnc4server
[04:18] <Shaba1> how do I get the same "session" as when I turned on an logged into the laptop
[04:18] <Xpistos> can some please help me I moved my applications panel and now i can't move it back. It is on the right and I get get it to move back
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak_> Xpistos: click and hold left click, drag the panel to the top
[04:19] <cyphase> Shaba1: the only vnc server i know of (not to say that it's the only one) that does what you want is vino-server, which is only for gnome as far as i know
[04:19] <will00> iv got a massive music collection and im looking for a program that would allow me to organize it as well as automatically move new music files into their respective places. does anyone know of a good program for this?
[04:19] <IdleOne> Xpistos, left click on it and move it
[04:19] <Shaba1> Ok then
[04:19] <Shaba1> I need to uninstall that and go with something else I think then
[04:19] <cyphase> Shaba1: it comes default with ubuntu, but not xubuntu
[04:19] <cyphase> Shaba1: why not use Ubuntu. is your laptop not powerful enough?
[04:19] <Jester45> Xpistos: does right click -> and un check lock to panel allow you to move it
[04:20] <Shaba1> Ok
[04:20] <Xpistos> No
[04:20] <Xpistos> and No
[04:20] <Shaba1> I have vino-server on that machine
[04:20] <IdleOne> Xpistos, if there is no room then right click and remove one of the launchers. that will give you space to left click on
[04:20] <Xpistos> I have a lot of stuff in that tool bar
[04:20] <Spaztastic> cypher: How would I start there eth0 connection via terminal? I had them run ifconfig and they have no inet addr but there ethernet cable is plugged in. How can they manually start this?
[04:20] <Shaba1> but when I click on it it does not seem to do anything cyphase
[04:20] <cyphase> Spaztastic: it's cyphase ;). just so i don't miss your messages
[04:20] <Jester45> Xpistos: is everything else locked ?
[04:20] <IndyGunFreak_> Xpistos: make sure you are clicking in an "open" area of the panel when you try to drag adn drop it.
[04:20] <Spaztastic> cyphase: sorries I typo alot. :D
[04:21] <bhc> how to disable auto start of apache and ssh deamon ?
[04:21] <cyphase> Spaztastic: it's not you, it's the Tab feature :)
[04:21] <Shaba1> Exactly cyphase. I spent 12 hours last months trying to install ubuntu when finally someone here told me that it was not powerful enough and I should try xubuntu
[04:21] <cyphase> Spaztastic: cypher comes before me
[04:21] <bhc> the deamon always running after reboot
[04:21] <Shaba1> 45 minutes later I was up and running
[04:21] <Xpistos> Idleone: thanks. I don't know why I couldn't come up with that on my own. Thanks
[04:21] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Lol. :P
[04:21] <IdleOne> Xpistos, been there done that :) no problem
[04:22] <cyphase> Spaztastic: anyway, about ethernet.. are you sure everything is connected in the right place?
[04:23] <cyphase> Spaztastic: i thought you said they were straight into the modem? is it DSL? how is the connection made? does the router handle it or does the computer have to manage the connection?
[04:23] <Shaba1> So any soluton cyphase
[04:23] <Jester45> !boot > bhc
[04:23] <creeed> bhc, look into System->Administration->Services or custom your /etc/init.d/*
[04:23] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yes it was running just fine this morning so it's still setup the same way :P It's cable modem (comcast) They are hardwired to the modem. No router involved.
[04:23] <Shaba1> At least how to undo what I installed from that page
[04:23] <MrWizeGuy1983> anyone got good hacks for wep encryption?
[04:24] <cyphase> Spaztastic: but no connection right now? did you try pinging something?
[04:24] <cyphase> ping ubuntu.com
[04:24] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Let me get them to ping something.
[04:25] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They are unable to ping google.com :P
[04:25] <tkahn> is there a vim channel?
[04:25] <danbhfive> Spaztastic: try dig google.com  too
[04:25] <cyphase> Spaztastic: you sure the connection is called eth0? if not, check with the command     ifconfig
[04:26] <Shaba1> cyphase have you moved on??
[04:26] <cyphase> Shaba1: i'm looking. don't sound so offended :)
[04:26] <creeed> MrWizeGuy1983, aircrack-ng
[04:26] <Shaba1> Oh no I was not offended at all
[04:26] <Shaba1> I just thought you had moved onto answering another question
[04:27] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yes it's eth0. When they run dig google.com they get a connection timed out.
[04:27] <Leefmc> Question: Is it possible to turn on specific desktop affects? I want one or two affects (blender doesn't agree with all of them, so i can't use them all), but i dont want the rest.
[04:27] <cyphase> Spaztastic: ifconfig eth0 up
[04:27] <nocturnal_> Need some...a lot of help with installing hellanzb...
[04:27] <cyphase> Spaztastic: that's the command
[04:27] <cyphase> Shaba1: vino is installed, right?
[04:27] <Shaba1> I suppose so.
[04:28] <Shaba1> I see a file called vino-server
[04:28] <Shaba1> do not ask me where it is
[04:28] <Dr_willis_> Leefmc,  install the ccsm tool and tweak them all day long. :)
[04:28] <Shaba1> I am not at the laptop right now
[04:28] <Dr_willis_> !ccsm | Leefmc
[04:28] <Shaba1> but its like 10 feet away from me
[04:28] <adam7> Shaba1: to undo the stuff on http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html just replace install with remove in the apt-get commands
[04:28] <cyphase> Shaba1: try running vino-preferences in a terminal
[04:28] <L1nc01n> Does anyone know why flash does not work in Firefox??
[04:28] <Leefmc> Dr_willis_: thank you
[04:28] <cyphase> L1nc01n: it does for me
[04:28] <danc3> L1nc01n: it does
[04:28] <danbhfive> L1nc01n: 64bit?
[04:28] <Leefmc> L1nc01n: Same
[04:28] <cyphase> L1nc01n: are you on 64-bit?
[04:29] <L1nc01n> Yes
[04:29] <cyphase> ah
[04:29] <Jester45> lol lots of replys
[04:29] <L1nc01n> it was working earlier today, but now it isn't
[04:29] <Datz> Hi I just restarted my computer from command line via ssh, now I want to use VNC, is there a way I can log in, or start it from the command line?
[04:29] <danbhfive> L1nc01n: reinstall to 32bit, and your problems will go away
[04:29] <Shaba1> adam7 now how do I do that
[04:29] <Shaba1> ??
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> !flash64 | L1nc01n
[04:29] <Shaba1> remember windows admin here.
[04:29] <Shaba1> this is a whole new world fro me
[04:29] <Leefmc> Shaba1: Welcome ;)
[04:30] <legend2440> can someone advise me on a good seperate /home partition size?   i have 70 gig HD. is 15  gig for /root and 2 gig for swap and 53 gig for /home a good choice?
[04:30] <cyphase> Shaba1: did you try running vino-preferences?
[04:30] <Leefmc> Shaba1: Its all worth it, trust me :) (1month youngling)
[04:30] <cyphase> Spaztastic: what's going on?
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> Shaba1: well at least you're approaching this w/ the right attitude.
[04:30] <adam7> Shaba1: for instance, where it says sudo apt-get install vnc4server xinetd xvnc4viewer, change it to sudo apt-get remove vnc4server xinetd xvnc4viewer
[04:30] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They making typos :D
[04:30] <cyphase> Leefmc: you shouldn't be saying welcome ;). welcome to you :)
[04:30] <L1nc01n> Wait, so I just need to install the 32-bit Firefox?
[04:30] <adam7> Shaba1: that will remove all three of those packages from your system
[04:30] <Shaba1> so just type vino-preferences from any directory in the terminal danc3?
[04:30] <L1nc01n> because there is no 64 bit flash for Linux?
[04:30] <Leefmc> cyphase: I'm not allowed to welcome another person? Well damn, thats a new definition of the word. :p
[04:30] <cyphase> Spaztastic: be sure what they're typing. faster than trying again, and again, and again.. :)
[04:30] <L1nc01n> Why was it working earlier today?
[04:31] <cyphase> Leefmc: i was kidding :)
[04:31] <danbhfive> legend2440: you only need 10g for root, but who's counting
[04:31] <Jester45> L1nc01n: or one of the free alternatives gnash and Swfdec
[04:31] <Leefmc> cyphase: So what does a group of newbies say to one another when they arrive? *go get an experienced person! we need to welcome this guy!* hehe
[04:31] <legend2440> danbhfive: ok thanks
[04:31] <adam7> legend2440: it depends on how much stuff you're going to install, but generally I would say that is a good split (and 2 gb for swap is quite a bit)
[04:31] <amrik> !rootkit
[04:31] <Datz> Is there a way to log into my profile locally with ssh?
[04:31] <Shaba1> Thanks adam7
[04:31] <Shaba1> let  I will try that
[04:31] <cyphase> Leefmc: that's right, leave the hard stuff to the Real Men And Women(t)
[04:32] <Leefmc> :p
[04:32] <cyphase> Shaba1: did you try running vino-preferences?
[04:32] <jaminkle> i just logged in as root and made another user and i can login fine with that and everything comes up so it must be something i did to the main user account's apperence settings.. any ideas on how i can change or restore gtk?
[04:32] <legend2440> adam7: yes i agree but when i installed hardy thats how it did the swap
[04:32] <Shaba1> but first let me try to follows cyphase's instruction
[04:32] <adam7> legend2440: you have 1gb of ram, I bet?
[04:32] <Shaba1> cyphase: ?
[04:32] <Shaba1> so just type vino-preferences from any directory in the terminal cyphase?
[04:32] <cyphase> Shaba1: did you try running vino-preferences?
[04:32] <legend2440> adam7: yes i do
[04:32] <cyphase> Shaba1: yes
[04:33] <Shaba1> ok brb
[04:33] <sweetgum> ﻿does anyone know ab out programming Gnome Applets? I'm trying to find the file "applet-widget.h" which package could this be in or where could i find it
[04:33] <adam7> legend2440: yeah, it gives you twice the amount of ram in swap, although people don't really need it with more than 1gb of ram
[04:33] <cyphase> Shaba1: can you bring the laptop closer (you said it was 10 feet away)?
[04:33] <adam7> (depending on what you're doing, anyway...)
[04:33] <rlm> Hi, can anyone help me set up a modem in a laptop?
[04:33] <Jester45> legend2440: the old guide of 2x your ram for swap if out of date once over 1gb you can just do 1x or even less, i have 3gb and i dont even have swap
[04:35] <cyphase> Jester45: the problem with not having swap is as soon as you hit 3GB (maybe a little over), your computer might freeze
[04:35] <legend2440> Jester45: can i delete or make swap 1 gig with gparted  on livecd without losing data?
[04:35] <oc80z> http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/29948/Screenshot.png
[04:35] <cyphase> legend2440: you have to disable swap first
[04:35] <oc80z> ^---- WHATS THE LINK
[04:35] <oc80z> OMG
[04:36] <djzn> dudes, i'm back... listen... i got ubuntu installed, now I want to install *all* dev packages for this system, how should I go on about it?
[04:36] <legend2440> ok thanks for all your good advice and help
[04:36] <tj83> djzn why would you want to do that?
[04:36] <cyphase> legend2440: look at the swapoff to turn off swap
[04:37] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Same issue as before seems they aren't getting an inet addr I had them run ifconig again they have lo, wlan0 , wmaster0. But his eth0 is missing. He isn't using the wlan card because he doesn't use wireless internet. He has the cat5 into his pc to the modem.
[04:37] <legend2440> cyphase: yes i saw that option in there
[04:37] <Jester45> legend2440: yes your swap is just a partition but if u allready alloted that much just leave it
[04:37] <oc80z> http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/29948/Screenshot.png
[04:37] <Jester45> cyphase: why is that
[04:37] <oc80z> ^---- WHATS THE LINK
[04:37] <legend2440> Jester45: ok
[04:37] <adam7> !caps
[04:37] <djzn> tj83: is that a lot of packages?
[04:38] <cyphase> Jester45: why is what? why not having swap is bad or why it makes the computer freeze?
[04:38] <dillkisssiht> hi
[04:38] <tj83> djzn yes and a waste of space
[04:38] <Shaba1> that worked cyphase I got the preferences box thank
[04:38] <Jester45> cyphase: both
[04:38] <creeed> legend2440, you can also swap your swap-partition with everytime with swapon -a swap-partition
[04:38] <dillkisssiht> hi
[04:38] <cyphase> Shaba1: you have to make sure vino-server is on
[04:38] <dillkisssiht> live and lie
[04:38] <dillkisssiht> shit
[04:38] <Spaztastic> cyphase: I tried to get them to type sudo ifup eth0 and it is kicking back ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0

[04:39] <tj83> dillkisssiht !language
[04:39] <Shaba1> how do I do that
[04:39] <cyphase> Jester45: well, it's bad because it might freeze your computer. i think it's because memory just gets full, and it has nowhere to put it
[04:39] <dillkisssiht> k
[04:39] <cyphase> Spaztastic: but it was working earlier?
[04:39] <tj83> dillkisssiht | !language

[04:39] <karesz> good morning
[04:40] <dillkisssiht> had a cat
[04:40] <Spaztastic> cyphase: took me an hour last night to get that working.. Was working on eth0.. :(
[04:40] <Shaba1> vtw cyphase that preferences box only has a cancel and close button. No apply. I assume that close will save the choices that I made?
[04:40] <danbhfive> hehe, guys! dont spam the spammer!
[04:40] <Jester45> cyphase: i watch my memory and i never see it over 2gb used soo i guess the frezzing wont bother me then
[04:40] <dillkisssiht> k
[04:40] <tj83> thank you adam7
[04:40] <adam7> tj83: np :)
[04:40] <dillkisssiht> how arew you sjfdjkfd
[04:40] <dillkisssiht> im a hacker
[04:40] <cyphase> Shaba1: the changes are immediate. again, you have to make sure vino-server is running, after you make sure no other vnc server is running
[04:41] <cyphase> Jester45: no it won't :). i on the other hand am always using all my memory
[04:41] <dillkisssiht> umm you umm dont now but i know how to make a virus lol
[04:41] <tj83> dillkisssiht, you will be removed if you dont respect and comply
[04:41] <cyphase> Jester45: can i have that extra 1GB? ;)

[04:43] <cyphase> Spaztastic: i really don't know.. did you configure it with /etc/network/interfaces? or network-manager?
[04:43] <sls> what the heck... check this out: http://pastebin.com/m443e1d36
[04:43] <sls> its a acl issue.. that can not be.

[04:43] <sls> >
[04:43] <sls> ?
[04:44] <cyphase> Spaztastic: try /etc/network/interfaces :)
[04:44] <xloverxhacker> hi
[04:44] <xloverxhacker> what is going on?
[04:44] <xloverxhacker> aka-goose
[04:44] <cyphase> Spaztastic: have them add this..
[04:44] <cyphase> auto eth0

[04:45] <cyphase> wols_: no it's not. network-manager handles it by default now
[04:45] <rhine> can i get some help with an external usb hard drive....???....unable to mount....
[04:45] <cyphase> Spaztastic: then run      /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:45] <wols_> cyphase: there is a auto eth0 in there
[04:45] <xloverxhacker> its a virus
[04:45] <xloverxhacker> no
[04:45] <cyphase> Spaztastic: restart is part of the command, i'm not saying restart the computer :)
[04:45] <cyphase> wols_: not in mine
[04:45] <xloverxhacker> oh
[04:45] <wols_> xloverxhacker: do you have ubuntu related support questions?
[04:46] <Spaztastic> cyphase: ok just a min

[04:48] <chris11453jkdklj> Hello, Where Can I find when a package is being released?
[04:48] <chris11453jkdklj> For example when Firefox 3 will be available
[04:48] <sls> I have an odd thing happen...
[04:48] <rhine> can i get some help with an external usb hard drive....???....unable to mount....
[04:48] <cyphase> chris11453jkdklj: it is available
[04:48] <MrWizeGuy1983> chris11453jkdklj, it already is
[04:48] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: whne the next ubuntu is released. firefox already is available
[04:48] <cyphase> wols_: depends..
[04:48] <chris11453jkdklj> So it should be in synaptic
[04:48] <chris11453jkdklj> ?
[04:48] <tj83> rhine... what seems to be the problem exactly in detail?
[04:48] <cyphase> chris11453jkdklj: yes
[04:49] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: what ubuntu version are you running?
[04:49] <sls> I give a user rights using setfacl - verify that the user is added with perms rw... but the user can not write view or anything...
[04:49] <cyphase> chris11453jkdklj: if you're up-to-date, it's already installed
[04:49] <MrWizeGuy1983> chris11453jkdklj, if you're using hardy and do your updates you already have it
[04:49] <MrWizeGuy1983> cyphase, we must think alike
[04:49] <sls> here is the getfacl output:
[04:49] <sls> http://pastebin.com/m443e1d36
[04:49] <chris11453jkdklj> help> about> 2.0.0.1....
[04:49] <cyphase> MrWizeGuy1983: nono, you think like me
[04:49] <cyphase> MrWizeGuy1983: ;)
[04:49] <Shaba1> cyphase thanks for the help
[04:49] <chris11453jkdklj> Maybe I need to update my repos?
[04:49] <cyphase> Shaba1: so it's working?
[04:49] <Shaba1> I may not be able to finish this though
[04:49] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: what ubuntu version are you running?
[04:50] <MrWizeGuy1983> cyphase, i'm sure that's a compliment, but you'd be surprised how oddly i think at times lol
[04:50] <cyphase> Shaba1: ah
[04:50] <Shaba1> I hav to run off to work in like 20 minutes
[04:50] <rhine> tj83, it says "Unable to mount the volume."....i have the ntfs config tool....
[04:50] <no_mind> anyone installed lotus symphony ?
[04:50] <cyphase> MrWizeGuy1983: actually, i was implying you're only copying me. but i was kidding :)
[04:50] <Shaba1> How do I make sure no other vnc server is running
[04:50] <wols_> !anyone | no_mind
[04:50] <Shaba1> then turn on vino?
[04:50] <oldbluebox> Can someone help me revert my graphics card settings back to the default settings?
[04:50] <oldbluebox> Whenever I startup ubuntu, when it gets to the login screen, it's blank
[04:50] <wols_> oldbluebox: there is not really a "default"
[04:50] <no_mind> how do i launch lotus symphony from command line ?
[04:50] <wols_> oldbluebox: change it to vesa perhaps
[04:51] <wols_> no_mind: ask IBM
[04:51] <oldbluebox> I think it's due to a bad graphics card driver
[04:51] <cyphase> Shaba1: you're on hardy, right? go to the advanced tab and change the port. then connect with that port
[04:51] <oldbluebox> what's vesa?
[04:51] <wols_> oldbluebox: what videocard is it?
[04:51] <sweetgum> ﻿does anyone know ab out programming Gnome APplets? I'm trying to find the file "applet-widget.h" which package could this be in or where could i find it
[04:51] <MrWizeGuy1983> oldbluebox, i bet running envyng in text mode would fix it if you have nvidia or ati
[04:51] <Shaba1> cyphase you just said a mouthfull
[04:51] <oldbluebox> um well
[04:51] <no_mind> wols_, IBM doc points to graphical launcher from menu, i want to launch from command line
[04:51]  * Shaba1 is a windows person remember
[04:51] <Shaba1> :D
[04:51] <wols_> sweetgum: packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file knows the answer
[04:51] <Shaba1> and advance windows person.
[04:51] <cyphase> Shaba1: you're on xubuntu hardy, right?
[04:51] <oldbluebox> Wols_: the laptop has an intergrated graphics card
[04:51] <chris11453jkdklj> How do I check my version?
[04:52] <Dr_willis_> !version | chris11453jkdklj
[04:52] <Shaba1> I set up a 35 workstaion network at my old job
[04:52] <wols_> no_mind: you still have to asj IBM not us, it'S _their_ software, not ubuntu
[04:52] <no_mind> wols_, and that is why i asked if anyone has installed it so that he can tell me the command i am supposed to fire from CLI
[04:52] <tj83> oldbluebox, ATI i guess?
[04:52] <Shaba1> but still this is a strange new world
[04:52] <oldbluebox> umm
[04:52] <wols_> oldbluebox: that doesn't answer my question
[04:52] <oldbluebox> it's a Dell PP01X
[04:52] <Shaba1> I assume so if that is 8.04
[04:52] <oldbluebox> lemme google it I guess, I'm not sure what's on it
[04:52] <wols_> oldbluebox: please start finally answering my question instead of guessing
[04:52] <tj83> oldbluebox, use command lspci
[04:52] <chris11453jkdklj> version
[04:52] <chris11453jkdklj> bash: version: command not found
[04:52] <cyphase> Shaba1: yes. go to the advanced tab in the vino preferences
[04:53] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: you've just been told what to type
[04:53] <Shaba1> and
[04:53] <oldbluebox> Ok, i'm fnding out now
[04:53] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: and it's NOT "version"
[04:53] <tj83> rhine, will you respond to PM?
[04:53] <Dr_willis_> chris11453jkdklj: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[04:53] <cyphase> check the alternative port option, and choose a number. 6000 to be safe
[04:53] <chris11453jkdklj> I see, Thanks! 7.04
[04:54] <Shaba1> ok I chose 5902
[04:54] <Shaba1> now what
[04:54] <FluxD> Hi, I am looking for some help with VirtualBox but no one is replying in #vbox
[04:54] <cyphase> Shaba1: try connecting to that computer at port 5902
[04:54] <wols_> Shaba1: netstat -anp |grep 5900
[04:54] <chris11453jkdklj> Wow, I thought I had upgraded?
[04:54] <wols_> Shaba1: with sudo
[04:54] <wols_> !vbox | FluxD
[04:54] <tj83> rhine, ?
[04:54] <danbhfive> FluxD: whats the problem?
[04:54] <chris11453jkdklj> What is the proper way to upgrade to 8.04?
[04:54] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: update-manager
[04:55] <Shaba1> failed to connect to server
[04:55] <Shaba1> is what I got
[04:55] <wols_> chris11453jkdklj: but first you need to update to gutsy 7.10, then hardy 8.04
[04:55] <djzn> how do I install latest KDE4 in ubuntu?
[04:55] <cirkit> why is chris11453jkdklj nick using redundant characters preceding "chris"?
[04:55] <rhine> tj83, sorry....
[04:55] <cyphase> Shaba1: did you start vino-server like i said?
[04:55] <wols_> Shaba1: netstat -anp |grep 5902
[04:55] <rhine> tj83, sure
[04:55] <Shaba1> nope you never told me how to start it
[04:55] <MrWizeGuy1983> wols_, the update manager can update from one release to another? if so that's amazing! i started with hardy
[04:55] <cyphase> Shaba1: type vino-server in the terminal
[04:55] <oldbluebox> wols_: it says it's a nvida GeForce 440
[04:55] <m_newton> ello
[04:56] <wols_> oldbluebox: what driver do you use right now?
[04:56] <chris11453jkdklj> preceding? do you mean post chris
[04:56] <MrWizeGuy1983> oldbluebox, you should use sudo apt-get install envyng
[04:56] <wols_> oldbluebox: you will need the nvidia-legacy one
[04:56] <FluxD> danbhfive, I am using the non ose version deb from their site, the reply to uname -r is 2.6.24.5-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32 (some custom kernel) I want to install virtualbox but I need to compile a driver for it, I dont know how
[04:56] <sls> Shabal, vino uses VNC wich is insecure.... if you are not a unix admin and know how to use the via option in vnc please use nomachine's NX server an client. it is encrypted and trivial to use...
[04:56] <chris11453jkdklj> freenode said chris was taken, so I tried something unique
[04:56] <tj83> rhine, pm me plz
[04:56] <wols_> !envy | MrWizeGuy1983
[04:56] <oldbluebox> um, well when I changed the performance settings it installed some sort of nvidia driver, and I was noob and didn't really pay attention so i'm not sure what it's running now
[04:56] <Shaba1> I tired that on my own and got "bash: vino-server command not found"
[04:56] <cyphase> Shaba1: i'm sorry, it's /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[04:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> wols_, won't envyng work for him? or would he have to get the antiquated envy?
[04:57] <cyphase> Shaba1: just copy paste that into the terminal
[04:57] <wols_> cyphase: why isn't ther a gui for this?
[04:57] <oldbluebox> but I can't really access anything because the screen is blank when it gets to the login screen
[04:57] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Thats funny.. They didn't have eth0 in the /etc/networking/interfaces :P
[04:57] <gdhagger> FluxD: i believe you need to run something like /etc/init.d/virtualboxsomething setup
[04:57] <cyphase> wols_: for what?
[04:57] <wols_> fir vino
[04:57] <wols_> I mean, even debian doesn't need the commandline for it
[04:57] <gdhagger> FluxD: or if it got broken by an update, reinstall the .deb file and it should rebuild the modules needed
[04:57] <cyphase> wols_: see Spaztastic's comment about eth0
[04:57] <cyphase> wols_: there is a GUI
[04:57] <ECG> hello?
[04:58] <cyphase> wols_: it's made for gnome, and it starts automatically in gnome. vino-preferences is the gui
[04:58] <cirkit> ECG: yes?
[04:58] <ECG> hi :)
[04:58] <wols_> cyphase: did you resolve his eth0 issue?
[04:58] <cyphase> Spaztastic: so, did it work?
[04:58] <cirkit> hi
[04:58] <oldbluebox> wols_: any suggestions?
[04:58] <cyphase> wols_: still working on it, just saying he didn't have eth0 in the interfaces file either
[04:58] <wols_> oldbluebox: yes. nvidia-legacy drivers or vesa
[04:58] <Shaba1> cyphase one word "EUREKA!!!"
[04:58] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Not yet I am thinking they might need to reset thier modem because comcast is a pain in the butt.
[04:58] <Shaba1> :)
[04:59] <Shaba1> whew that took a whil
[04:59] <cyphase> Spaztastic: omg.. did they hit the button to disable it? ask them
[04:59] <cyphase> Spaztastic: i've done that
[04:59] <oldbluebox> so how do I go about installing them since the screen is blank?
[04:59] <wols_> Spaztastic: sudo /sbin/ifconfig which ethX do show up? also is this modem using PPPoE or is the modem actually a router?
[04:59] <cyphase> Spaztastic: on mine it's a small button that disabled internet
[04:59] <Shaba1> now how do i uninstall vnc4Server?
[04:59] <oldbluebox> do I ust have to reinstall ubuntu?
[04:59] <wols_> oldbluebox: ctrl+alt+f2
[04:59] <cyphase> wols_: it's a comcast modem, just plug it in and go
[04:59] <wols_> Shaba1: like any other package
[04:59] <oldbluebox> wols_: i'm super noob, do I do that at the boot screen?
[04:59] <cyphase> wols_: well, not in this case.. :)
[05:00] <cirkit> cyphase: whats the manufacturers name on that modem?
[05:00] <Spaztastic> cyphase: ... my brother is a F****ing retard...
[05:00] <cyphase> Shaba1: did it work?
[05:00] <wols_> cyphase: if he installed it via deb, then yes, just like any other case. othrewise his ubuntu package management is broken
[05:00] <cyphase> cirkit: no idea, i'm helping someone who's on the phone with the person having trouble
[05:00] <Shaba1> yes it did cyphase
[05:00] <Shaba1> now how do i uninstall vnc4Server?
[05:00] <cyphase> wols_: installed what via deb? i'm a little confused
[05:00] <wols_> apt-get remove vnc4server
[05:00] <magazist> i want to asking

[05:05] <Dr_willis_> !find vnc4
[05:05] <gdhagger> magazist: is it a flash animation you wanna edit, or a video
[05:05] <cyphase> Shaba1: ignore that about xvnc4viewer

[05:07] <magazist> DESCRIPTION
[05:07] <FloodBot1> magazist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:07] <Onebeer> hmmm..wonder how much gigabit lan cards are going for.

[05:07] <Sinnerman> hi. when i went to sleep 4 hours ago, the time on my box read 4am. when i woke up just now, it read 5:21am, how is that possible the clock got messed up, and what can i do to avoid that happening short of synchronising?
[05:08] <wols_> Shaba1: first make sure it'S even open
[05:08] <cyphase> Shaba1: in a terminal, run     killall vnc4server
[05:08] <Shaba1> ok wols how?
[05:08] <wols_> Sinnerman: inside a VM?
[05:08] <FluxD> gdhagger, it gave me this "Makefile:127: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop."
[05:08] <wols_> Shaba1: I told you twice before
[05:08] <Sinnerman> wols, no my actual laptop.
[05:08] <wols_> Sinnerman: hwclock --show
[05:08] <magazist> sorry
[05:08] <magazist> i don;'t know
[05:08] <magazist> please tell me on terminal
[05:08] <magazist> i have type man apt-get
[05:08] <magazist> then ?
[05:08] <Shaba1> and I want to keep it from starting up again
[05:08] <cirkit> Will somebody please kick magazist
[05:08] <FloodBot1> magazist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:09] <cyphase> Shaba1: it's uninstalled. it can't start anymore
[05:09] <magazist> I DON'T KNOW
[05:09] <Sinnerman> wols_: that shows the correct time.
[05:09] <gdhagger> FluxD: hmm. not sure. sorry
[05:09] <magazist> please don't kick me
[05:09] <magazist> OK !!!
[05:09] <Shaba1> well wols_
[05:09] <cirkit> magazist: you don't need to use caps when typing.
[05:09] <PanzerMKZ> magazist what is your question?
[05:09] <mgolisch> FluxD: install the kernel-headers package for your running kernel
[05:09] <wols_> magazist: if you continue to paste garbage, it will
[05:09] <FluxD> gdhagger, any way to change the kernel to the current ubuntu 8.04 one ?
[05:09] <Shaba1> I was following cyphase and missed what you said
[05:09] <magazist> i want to edit .fla
[05:09] <cyphase> Shaba1: is everything uninstalled?
[05:09] <magazist> on windows use macromedia flash
[05:09] <cirkit> magazist: please look into flash4linux, thanks.
[05:09] <FluxD> mgolisch, I can find the config file for the headers not the kernel headers itself
[05:10] <Shaba1> ok cyphase vnc4server removed
[05:10] <magazist> but i don't know on linus use what ?
[05:10] <Shaba1> doing the ssh removal now
[05:10] <cyphase> Shaba1: okay, now open vino-preferences
[05:10] <wols_> FluxD: the headers are in the repos
[05:10] <oldbluebox> wols_: it's asking me to configure my graphics card driver by manfacturer and model number, but I don't see the model type on the list, what do I choose, just basic 1024x768?
[05:10] <wols_> oldbluebox: what driver did you choose?
[05:10] <FluxD> wols_, apt-get install linux-header-server ?
[05:10] <wols_> FluxD: no
[05:10] <PanzerMKZ> magazist well you could do what cirkit just said. command might be apt-get install flash4linux
[05:10] <FluxD> wols_, I am on server 8.04 btw
[05:11] <mgolisch> FluxD: type in a terminal sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[05:11] <Sinnerman> wols_: i was just wondering how come the time got screwed up - i had just manually changed it back. it would seem the hardware clock was not affected.
[05:11] <oldbluebox> wols_: it auto detected a "plug n play"
[05:11] <mgolisch> FluxD: that will install the headers for the currently running kernel
[05:11] <gdhagger> FluxD: what he said -> mgolisch
[05:11] <wols_> oldbluebox: your monitor is not your videocard
[05:11] <gdhagger> :D
[05:11] <jaminkle> hey when i go into appearance preferences and change the theme.. it does not change the theme colors
[05:11] <MonkeyMan> How do you manually run dpkg --configure -a?
[05:11] <cyphase> Shaba1: are you there?
[05:11] <wols_> MonkeyMan: by typing it in
[05:11] <jaminkle> so when i change to something like crux insted of being purple it stays blue like the last theme
[05:12] <MonkeyMan> I did that and not working.
[05:12] <oldbluebox> wols_: i'm confused =(
[05:12] <cyphase> Spaztastic: are you there?
[05:12] <mgolisch> FluxD: after that run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup again
[05:12] <Giod> msg ubuntulog owner
[05:12] <FluxD> mgolisch, gdhagger E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.24.5-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32
[05:12] <wols_> oldbluebox: don't tell me, I knew for a long time
[05:12] <gdhagger> FluxD: woo... you're running some funky kernel
[05:12] <oldbluebox> wols_: marry me.
[05:12] <wols_> FluxD: is this a custom kernel
[05:12] <mgolisch> FluxD: oh i see, you dont run a ubuntu kernel, i didnt know that
[05:12] <FluxD> mgolisch, gdhagger wols_ yes I already said that
[05:12] <Shaba1> cyphASE its ope
[05:12] <oldbluebox> wols_: but tell me what model number to choose on this list, my laptop model number isn't listed.
[05:12] <Shaba1> open  rather
[05:12] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yes working with my daughter and getting them to start ssh
[05:12] <wols_> FluxD: did you build it yourself?
[05:12] <FluxD> wols_, nope
[05:13] <gdhagger> FluxD: sorry man, i missed that part
[05:13] <mgolisch> FluxD: how did you install that kernel?
[05:13] <wols_> FluxD: then ask whoever gave it to you to do it right and do headers too
[05:13] <cyphase> Spaztastic: great. if you need any more help, don't hesitate..
[05:13] <mgolisch> FluxD: a quick hack would be to symlink /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build to your kernel source directory
[05:13] <cyphase> Shaba1: you should configure a password
[05:13] <Shaba1> yeah
[05:13] <FluxD> gdhagger, wols_ mgolisch ftp://ftp.ovh.net/made-in-ovh/bzImage/2.6-config-xxxx-std-ipv4-32
[05:13] <wols_> molgrum_: and where is he getting the header files from?
[05:13] <cyphase> Shaba1: also change the port back to 5900
[05:13] <StormStrikes> Can anyone help with a question about a how to found here, https://www.dedigentoo.org/trac/linux-phc/wiki/phc_howto_ubuntu_001
[05:13] <Shaba1> i did that when you first told me
[05:14] <FluxD> gdhagger, wols_ mgolisch its a custom kernel made by the datacenter
[05:14] <Shaba1> ok
[05:14] <Shaba1> np using another port thats no big dezl
[05:14] <Shaba1> deal
[05:14] <oldbluebox> wols_: if I don't see my model number on this list, what do I do?
[05:14] <mgolisch> FluxD: and the kernel sources are not installed?
[05:14] <cyphase> Shaba1: you can put it back to 5900 if you want. if not, that's fine, it'll work just the same
[05:14] <mgolisch> FluxD: theres nothing in /usr/src for that kernel?
[05:15] <wols_> FluxD: ask that site to provide you kernel source as they used it as you have the right under GPL
[05:15] <wols_> FluxD: if they don't, tell them they violate the GPL
[05:15] <FluxD> wols_, okay did u see the conf file I linked you to though?
[05:16] <Bodsda> hey guys, whenever i boot ubuntu (9 times out of 10) my screen will be slightly off centred to far to the left, what can i do to resolve this?
[05:16] <cyphase> Shaba1: now you have to make vino-server start whenever you log on
[05:16] <wols_> the config file is worthless
[05:16] <wols_> it's a patched kernel
[05:16] <FluxD> mgolisch, /usr/src has linux  linux-headers-2.6.24-19  linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic  vboxdrv-1.6.2
[05:16] <Shaba1> How
[05:16] <cyphase> Shaba1: or just start it whenever you log on, but it's easier with the former
[05:16] <FluxD> wols_, any way to move back to the ubuntu one?
[05:17] <cyphase> Shaba1: i don't know XFCE.. you'll have to ask someone else or look online
[05:17] <cyphase> Shaba1: take a look in the preferences
[05:17] <FluxD> Bodsda, try running the auto conf for your monitor
[05:17] <mgolisch> FluxD: is that a remote box?
[05:17] <Shaba1> yeah
[05:17] <FluxD> mgolisch, yes
[05:17] <Shaba1> ok thanks
[05:17] <wols_> FluxD: sure. run update-grub and you have a ubuntu kernel in your grub menu again
[05:17] <Bodsda> FluxD, auto conf?
[05:18] <Shaba1> Well you got me started cyphase thanks
[05:18] <Shaba1> much farthere then I ever got
[05:18] <cyphase> Shaba1: your welcome
[05:18] <FluxD> Bodsda, you monitor has an option to automatically reset it
[05:18] <FluxD> wols_, its a remote box so do I need grub ?
[05:18] <mgolisch> FluxD: it may be dangerous to play with that as it might end up not comming back to life after reboot
[05:18] <wols_> yes. every linux box needs a bootloader of some sort. by default for ubuntu this is grub
[05:18] <Bodsda> FluxD, only works per session, next boot its off centred again
[05:18] <FAJALOU> how can i change what the lock screen diaologue theme looks like?
[05:19] <mgolisch> for example if the initrd image lacks the required disk controler drivers or such
[05:20] <bsusa> Thankyou all for your help
[05:21] <oldbluebox> my screen is still blank and it's making me sad =(
[05:21] <segfault_> hi every1
[05:21] <Bodsda> hi
[05:21] <segfault_> need help with "gconv"
[05:21] <wols_> oldbluebox: dpkg -l|grep  nvidia
[05:21] <oldbluebox> roger that
[05:21] <tj83> oldbluebox, did you ever determine what card it is? i was away helping another
[05:21] <cyphase> hmm, Shaba1 quit..
[05:21] <segfault_> when i try to profile my app with gconv I get this error " gconv: command not found"
[05:21] <oldbluebox> well http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/latit/c840_spec.pdf says it's an nvidia geforcd 4
[05:22] <Spaztastic> cypher: I am logged into the ssh how do I remove this for him?
[05:22] <oldbluebox> but when I chose that driver under driver settings in ubuntu, i rebooted and now the screen is blank again
[05:22] <Chris_x8x> Im having problems with my apt-get: Reading package lists... Done
[05:22] <Chris_x8x> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_feisty_main_binary-i386_Packages)
[05:22] <Spaztastic> cyphase: I am logged into the ssh how do I remove this for him?
[05:22] <tj83> what did lspci tell you oldbluebox ? that is more reliable info
[05:22] <wols_> oldbluebox: you didn't say WHAT driver you used
[05:22] <cyphase> Spaztastic: remove what? nvidia?
[05:22] <oldbluebox> I don't know what lspci is.
[05:22] <wols_> Spaztastic: remove what?
[05:22] <wols_> oldbluebox: a command
[05:23] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Yeah the nvidia driver.
[05:23] <cirkit> oldbluebox: open a terminal and type "man lspci"
[05:23] <wols_> Spaztastic: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[05:23] <tj83> oldbluebox, type lspci in terminal and one line will say something like vga adapter
[05:23] <Spaztastic> wols_: Ty
[05:23] <cyphase> Spaztastic: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new
[05:23] <Chris_x8x> The error I am getting is "Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_feisty_main_binary-i386_Packages)"
[05:23] <segfault_> did anyone use "GCONV" before and had issues with it
[05:23] <wols_> Chris_x8x: warnings are not errors. and this warning clearly says what's wrong. read it until it sinks in
[05:24] <Chris_x8x> Can anyone help me with apt-get update
[05:24] <Bodsda> Chris_x8x, you need to remove the duplicate line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:24] <cyphase> Spaztastic: tell me when you're done
[05:24] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Done
[05:25] <cyphase> Spaztastic: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when they're at X (meaning, not at a terminal)
[05:26] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Do they need to just reboot to get back to the gui login? Or do I need to do the ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:26] <cyphase> Spaztastic: "just" reboot? ctrl+alt+backspace is faster :)
[05:26] <wols_> Spaztastic: he just told you
[05:26] <cyphase> wols_: be nice :)
[05:27] <Spaztastic> yeah I'm tired :(
[05:27] <cyphase> wow..
[05:27] <Bodsda> wow what cyphase?
[05:28] <cyphase> *he* did Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[05:28] <cyphase> not the person he was helping
[05:28] <Bodsda> lmao
[05:28] <oldbluebox> tj, wols_: I got the VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 GeForce 4 440 Go
[05:28] <cyphase> he'll be back in a little bit :)
[05:28] <djzn> i find GTK UI very very jerky, it is fast, but I always "see it draw" in the screen
[05:28] <wols_> cyphase: "a friend has this real embarrassing problem. not me, just a friend, you understand..:"
[05:28] <oldbluebox> but I also just read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-382987.html
[05:28] <wols_> oldbluebox: you said that long ago
[05:29] <tj83> did you do what spaztastic said dpkg -l |grep nvidia?
[05:29] <cyphase> wols_: as he was chatting with me, i doubt he was having an X problem
[05:29] <oldbluebox> tj83: i'll do that now
[05:29] <cyphase> wols_: yea, i know there are terminal IRC clients, but..
[05:29] <cyphase> lol Spaztastic

[05:31] <wols_> oldbluebox: it will tell you something that you will put in a pastebin
[05:31] <Bodsda> atallicus, pulseaudio has major probs in wine yes
[05:31] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They are at a screen that says: ubuntu is running in low graphic mode your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly to use a higher resolution ... configure display yourself. Choices are conigure shutdown or continue.
[05:31] <orgthingy> atallicus: #wine would help u as well
[05:31] <wols_> tj83: that's too subtle, he won't understand
[05:31] <oldbluebox> I pressed enter
[05:31] <oldbluebox> wols_: so mean =(
[05:31] <wols_> oldbluebox: you press it too often
[05:31] <oldbluebox> haha
[05:31] <cyphase> Spaztastic: after doing CtrlAltBackspace?
[05:31] <Spaztastic> Yes
[05:32] <oldbluebox> ok ok so now it says: options marked blah blah produce a lot of output etc etc
[05:32] <cyphase> Spaztastic: try continue
[05:32] <Bodsda> Spaztastic, have you told them to try booting to recovery mode and choosing    'fix x' ?
[05:32] <wols_> oldbluebox: it will tell you something that you will put in a pastebin
[05:32] <tj83> http://pastebin.com/ and paste it oldbluebox
[05:32] <Spaztastic> Bodsda: Nope :D
[05:32] <oldbluebox> ok, sorry this is my first run with linux
[05:33] <atallicus> bodsda thankyou, I have been working on this for like 8 hours before i saw that sticky
[05:33] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, blah blah and etc etc may be important, pastebin ALL the output
[05:33] <futuresoon> reboot, escape grub (that 1..2..3.. thing), and when it loads there should be an option 'fix x"
[05:33] <atallicus> wish i would have went there first
[05:33] <Bodsda> atallicus, hehe, pulseaudio gets removed on my system very quickly due to not working with my sound card so i no it has issues ;~)
[05:33] <futuresoon> i feel like i had this same problem and fix x worked (i'm new too)
[05:34] <wols_> Spaztastic: what videocard is it?
[05:34] <oldbluebox> do I type in just the codes 1:96.43.05etc or that WHOLE thing?
[05:34] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They are back to there GUI now. TY very much now just to fix the resolution.
[05:34] <atallicus> bodsda, what replaces it as a volume control?
[05:34] <FluxD> mgolisch, wols_ so ask the people who made the kernel to give the headers?
[05:34] <wols_> !paste | oldbluebox
[05:34] <Bodsda> futuresoon, fix x i think is the devs replacement for    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:34] <Bodsda> atallicus, alsa
[05:34] <Spaztastic> wols_: Nvidia something not sure exactly.
[05:34] <cyphase> Spaztastic: you still have to reinstall the old nvidia driver
[05:34] <tj83> everything oldbluebox
[05:34] <cyphase> Spaztastic: old one, not new
[05:34] <wols_> Spaztastic: then make sure
[05:34] <oldbluebox> roger that
[05:34] <atallicus> bodsda may I ask how i configure also to work with everything, I've done pidgin already.  Not sure what else I need to do
[05:35] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Ok then
[05:35] <cyphase> Spaztastic: have them open synaptic
[05:35] <wols_> atallicus: you still need some sort of software mixer. at a minimum, dmix
[05:35] <Bodsda> atallicus, not sure, by removing pulseaudio the default device is switched to alsa, which 'should' work OOTB for everything
[05:35] <Spaztastic> cyphase: kk doing that now.
[05:35] <atallicus> what is dmix
[05:36] <wols_> !dmix
[05:36] <Bodsda> !info dmix
[05:36] <cyphase> Spaztastic: tell them to go to nvidia-glx-new. they can do that by clicking in the list and typing nvidia-glx-new
[05:36] <oldbluebox> tj, wols: http://pastebin.com/d6546772b
[05:36] <wols_> cyphase: how do you know nvidia-new is the proper one?
[05:36] <atallicus> its already on alsa
[05:36] <cyphase> wols_: because it wad the one installed, and it worked before the update
[05:37] <cyphase> was*
[05:37] <atallicus> so wine forums say to remove it
[05:37] <Spaztastic> cyphase: ok
[05:37] <Bodsda> atallicus, what exactly isnt working? and you remembered to restart the application after removing pulseaudio yes?
[05:37] <atallicus> I haven't removed it yet
[05:37] <cyphase> Spaztastic: okay what exactly? are they at nvidia-glx-new?
[05:37] <atallicus> was just listening to what everyone had to say first
[05:37] <tj83> wols_, what do you think? looks right to me
[05:37] <atallicus> I'm removing it because I have no sound in Warcraft through wine, and I've tried all the other fixes
[05:38] <Bodsda> atallicus, theres no harm in removing it, you can always install it again if need be
[05:38] <atallicus> exactly what I needed to know bodsda thankyou
[05:38] <wols_> tj83: I won't say anything until I have a Xorg.0.log where X tries to load nvidia drivers
[05:38] <Bodsda> atallicus, your welcome
[05:38] <oldbluebox> huh?
[05:38] <wols_> and as a workaround I'd suggest nv drivers
[05:38] <midkniht> anyone ever got a fender rockband guitar working under hardy?
[05:39] <tj83> wols_, but nv doesnt have 3d does it?
[05:39] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They are slower than malasys
[05:39] <atallicus> bodsda it is now removed
[05:39] <cyphase> Spaztastic: tell me when they get there
[05:39] <wols_> no it does not but it has the advantage of getting a picture for X. invaluable that
[05:39] <Bodsda> Hey guys, 9 x out of 10 when i boot ubuntu my screen is off centre to the left, i move it with the buttons on my screen but the next boot its off centred again, what can i do to resolve this?
[05:39] <atallicus> bodsda what do I need to restart, anything?
[05:40] <Bodsda> atallicus, close wine application and launch it again
[05:40] <Spaztastic> cyphase: They are done.
[05:40] <wols_> Bodsda: either you can choose a different refresh rate, or you need to fsck with modelines
[05:40] <stintage> does anyone know how to make a gdm theme?
[05:40] <cyphase> Spaztastic: tell them to select nvidia-glx-new and press Ctrl+E
[05:40] <manguy> using the "free -m" command, under free for buffers/cache it says 172, but for used swap it is 45.  why would my server be using swap if there is free memory available?
[05:40] <wols_> good luck with the modelines
[05:40] <tj83> so what is the location of that log you want wols_?
[05:40] <Bodsda> wols_, whats fsck and modelines?
[05:40] <atallicus> bodsda it's not open at the moment, do i need to open it
[05:40] <Bodsda> atallicus, your not gonna here anything without it open ;~)
[05:40] <wols_> fsck is an euphemism for a bad word and for modeline, just google
[05:41] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Done
[05:41] <Bodsda> wols_, ah, cheers dude
[05:41] <atallicus> bodsda oh duh :P
[05:41] <wols_> !modeline
[05:41] <cyphase> Spaztastic: there'll be a menu. tell them to select the one with (hardy) next to it. it should be the lowest one
[05:41] <Jester45> manguy: because your swapiness valus is above 0
[05:41] <oldbluebox> tj83: so what log do I need now?
[05:41] <cyphase> Spaztastic: not hardy-security, or hardy-updates. just hardy
[05:41] <atallicus> bodsda when i open winecfg I am getting a unable to open slave in the terminal window, but wine still opens
[05:42] <Bodsda> wols_, cheers ;~)
[05:42] <midkniht> anyone gotten xbox guitar to work under linux?
[05:42] <manguy> Jester45: hmm, what does that mean exactly?
[05:42] <Bodsda> atallicus, youd need to go to #winehq for things like that im afrai
[05:42] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Ok we've got that.
[05:42] <Bodsda> afraid*
[05:42] <tj83> oldbluebox, gedit  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:42] <manguy> Jester45: i thought swap was used when there was no free memory available
[05:42] <tj83> and paste that file for us plz oldbluebox
[05:42] <atallicus> bodsda you were great help thankyou!
[05:42] <Bodsda> atallicus, no probs dude
[05:42] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Have them hit force?
[05:42] <cyphase> yes
[05:43] <wols_> tj83: he has no X IIRC
[05:43] <oldbluebox> tj: I typed it and it says "cannot open display"
[05:43] <cyphase> Spaztastic: yes, hit force. then, just to be safe, tell them to go to Custom Filters in the bottom left, then Marked Changes in the top left
[05:43] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, use pastebinit
[05:44] <Spaztastic> cyphase: kk tyvm
[05:44] <tj83> wols_, vi then?
[05:44] <cyphase> Spaztastic: your welcome, but we're not done :)
[05:44] <myz2_8_urstang> howdy every1
[05:44] <Jester45> manguy: the kernels memory manager will share between swap and free space so that unidle  programs get swaped out incase a few program needs lots of freespace, this way when real ram becomes filled you dont have to use 100% swap say you leave a terminal open for 3 days, the kernel would be wasting real ram when it could swap it out
[05:44] <Bodsda> tj83, nano may be easier, as it has instructions (hot keys) at the bottom, vi is confusing if uve never used it before
[05:44] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Thats fine. I'm ganna get them to get tightvnc so I can just vnc them screw the slowness.
[05:45] <tj83> and wols_ how did he pastebin without x running for a browser?
[05:45] <Jester45> manguy: if you want to know more details google linux memory manager
[05:45] <midkniht> how bout a good channel to talk about getting xbox guitar to work with linux, anyone know one?
[05:45] <Bodsda> tj83, cli browser or pastebinit?
[05:45] <manguy> Jester45: ok thanks, i will
[05:45] <Jester45> tj83: you can pastebin without a browser
[05:45] <cyphase> Spaztastic: do you mind if i vnc in as well? i'm interested in exactly what happened..
[05:45] <tj83> oldbluebox, nano  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:45] <oldbluebox> tj: http://pastebin.com/d3f48f8d3
[05:46] <Jester45> tj83: pastebin is just html adn html is just text so why should a text only ui allow you to use it
[05:46] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Uhm hold on a sec
[05:46] <Jester45> souldnt*
[05:46] <oldbluebox> tj: when I typed naano it says: -bash: non: command not found
[05:46] <oldbluebox> nano*
[05:46] <OddishB> oldbluebox: Try pico
[05:47] <OddishB> oldbluebox: Or edit
[05:47] <Bodsda> wols_, the links ubottu gave me about modelines ask me for information on sync ranges and res rates, where can i find out this informmation?
[05:47] <OddishB> oldbluebox: They're all symlinks to the same program anyway.
[05:47] <oldbluebox> oh crap
[05:47] <oldbluebox> um it took me to something
[05:47] <myz2_8_urstang> can someone help me put some roms into my emulator?
[05:47] <oldbluebox> I typed: nano
[05:47] <oldbluebox> and now i'm at some screen
[05:47] <oldbluebox> GNU nano 2.0.7 new buffer
[05:47] <OddishB> oldbluebox: It's a text editor.  Type and stuff.
[05:47] <tj83> oldbluebox, is it displaying a long file?
[05:47] <oldbluebox> no it's blank
[05:48] <Jester45> oldbluebox: ctrl s saves the page ctrl x closes
[05:48] <oldbluebox> but there's options at the bottom
[05:48] <OddishB> ctrl + x then
[05:48] <tj83> ctrl+x
[05:48] <oldbluebox> ok I did
[05:48] <oldbluebox> thanks
[05:48] <OddishB> And then nano /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log
[05:48] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, thats because you only typed 'nano' exit and type 'nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[05:48] <cyphase> Spaztastic: wait, i just realized.. you want them to get tightvnc?
[05:49] <cyphase> Spaztastic: there's already a vnc server in ubuntu. it's in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[05:49] <oldbluebox> ok it brings up the file, but there's no information
[05:49] <oldbluebox> like, it's blank
[05:50] <tj83> did you type everything exactly case sensitive
[05:50] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Dunno how to use that one :\ lol
[05:50] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, try again, but this time use tab complete to name the file
[05:50] <oldbluebox> ohhh ok
[05:50] <cyphase> Spaztastic: they just have to enable it
[05:50] <oldbluebox> lemme try using tab
[05:50] <cyphase> Spaztastic: then you connect to them with your viewer
[05:50]  * Jester45 loves tab 
[05:51] <OddishB> Tab is the sexiest key on my keyboard.
[05:51] <oldbluebox> I used tab and it says GNU nano 20.7 File: /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log
[05:51] <Bodsda> OddishB, i have a tux key!!!
[05:51] <oldbluebox> and then a blank screen with options at the bottom
[05:51] <cyphase> OddishB: Enter is the sexiest on mine ;)
[05:51] <Spaztastic> cyphase: Kk connected./
[05:52] <zeeeee> is there a way to use `play` to play mp3s from the cmd line?
[05:52] <QAH> hey guys. is there any virus protection software for ubuntu? kinda like norton or maca
[05:52] <Jester45> zeeeee: mpg123 does i think
[05:52] <cyphase> Spaztastic: can i have the ip address? if not, that's okay. i understand if you don't want a stranger connecting to the computer ;)
[05:52] <zeeeee> Jester45, thanks
[05:52] <Jester45> QAH: you dont need one unless your running a mail server
[05:52] <tj83> oldbluebox, i am pretty sure it should be /var/log/Xorg.0.log that is where mine is located
[05:52] <unop> zeeeee, aplay file.mp3
[05:52] <oldbluebox> ok let me try again
[05:53] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, case sensitive remember
[05:53] <Schroeder> everyone join #sexpenis!
[05:53] <QAH> aren't there viruses for ubuntu?
[05:53] <Bodsda> QAH, not really
[05:53] <Jester45> QAH: no
[05:53] <wols_> if your question is "do I need AV for ubuntu", the answer is: no
[05:53] <unop> !viruses | QAH
[05:54] <unop> !virus | QAH
[05:54] <wols_> even if there are Linux viruses, trojans and worms (about a dozen)
[05:54] <Jester45> QAH: only rootkits... but desktop users dont really need to worrie about that
[05:54] <Bodsda> Jester45, there ARE virus's for linux
[05:54] <Jester45> i know there are
[05:54] <unop> wols_, it's more like a 127
[05:54] <zeeeee> unop, that seems to be producing noise when i use it on an .mp3
[05:54] <Gault> Bodsda: of course there is theyre just not as common and the lack of open machinese keeps from an epidemic
[05:54] <zeeeee> Playing raw data '....mp3' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
[05:54] <Jester45> but its so uncommon and they arent effective its easier to just say no
[05:54] <oldbluebox> tj: got it!
[05:55] <tj83> pastebin
[05:55] <|gandhii|> How do you switch from one window manager to another when you more than one installed?   Xfce to Gnome for example?
[05:55] <Bodsda> Gault, i no, but saying there is no virus's is incorrect, which was what i was commenting on
[05:55] <oldbluebox> argh that's so much to type
[05:55] <oldbluebox> okay
[05:55] <Gault> yup
[05:55] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, you got internet on that box?
[05:55] <oldbluebox> No =\
[05:55] <wols_> |gandhii|: with many DMs you ccan choose. e.g. with gdm
[05:55] <Jester45> |gandhii|: xfwm --replace to use xfce or metacity --replace to use gnomes
[05:55] <oldbluebox> I havent installed the wifi drivers
[05:55] <tj83> oldbluebox, you will never type all that atleast not correctly.
[05:56] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, you got a memory stick?
[05:56] <oldbluebox> yes I do
[05:56] <oldbluebox> I have a mem stick
[05:56] <zeeeee> unop, also are you sure mp3 is supported? the man page (under -t) lists voc wav raw and au
[05:56] <unop> zeeeee, i must have mistaken it for something else - it doesn't seem to play anything but .wav files
[05:56] <tj83> Bodsda, will you try to see this out? I gtg.
[05:56] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, ok, exit nano and type    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > file.txt
[05:56] <zeeeee> unop, ok, no prob
[05:56] <Gault> Bodsda: tis annoying a friend on OX-X goes on about how it cant catch viri... tempted to craft something harmless but annoying just for him to take the wind out of his sails
[05:56] <Bodsda> tj83, im not good with graphics im afraid
[05:56] <Jester45> zeeeee: try mp123 im pretty sure it will play it
[05:56] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off.
 Any ideas?
[05:57] <Bodsda> Gault, lol, yeah
[05:57] <|gandhii|> I'm sorry..  I'm not understanding.  What's "DM" refer to?
[05:57] <oldbluebox> Bodsda: I typed it
[05:57] <myz2_8_urstang> doesnt anyone know how to put roms into the emulator?
[05:57] <QAH> also, how come my 3d desktop won't show a whole cube? it only shows a flat plane like i only have 2 desktops
[05:57] <oldbluebox> Bodsda: now what?
[05:57] <tj83> wols_, will you take the wheel? i gtg
[05:57] <|gandhii|> Replace?   are you saying to remove Xfce entirely?
[05:57] <revilodraw> i have ipv6 disabled, but when i try to go to a website firefox pauses for like 3 or 4 seconds it's very annoying.. my internet is pretty fast, and before i upgraded to hardy it was lightning fast on ubuntu...
[05:57] <PmDematagoda> Bodsda, graphics problems?
[05:57] <matthew_> how can I check the core temperature of my CPU from with in Ubuntu?
[05:58] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: i'm having the graphics problems =\
[05:58] <Jester45> ganadist: a DM is xfce/KDE/gnome a window manager is metacity(gnome's) or xfwm (xfce's)
[05:58] <tj83> wols_, it was your take in the first place.
[05:58] <Gault> myz2_8_urstang: what emu? most have a rom dir and an open rom command
[05:58] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, now mount your memstick and type   sudo cp ./file.txt /media/<mountPoint>
[05:58] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, install the lm-sensors package and do sensors-detect
[05:58] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off.
[05:58] <acer_> where can i get deb package for compiz fusion
[05:58] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, what kind of problems?
[05:58] <Bodsda> !compiz | acer_
[05:58] <unop> zeeeee, if you have mplayer it works on the command line
[05:58] <Gault> acer_: synaptic
[05:58] <tj83> PmDematagoda, black screen at login
[05:59] <Jester45> MrLukipela: there is a bug of that search launchpad for it, i cant remeber what bug it is
[05:59] <zeeeee> Jester45, that works, thanks
[05:59] <PmDematagoda> tj38, ahhh, just switch to a tty and do killall compiz.real
[05:59] <QAH> also, how come my 3d desktop won't show a whole cube? it only shows a flat plane like i only have 2 desktops
[05:59] <zeeeee> unop, oh, i didn't know that.  i did indeed have mplayer
[05:59] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, hey dude, tj83 noes the score, im just helping with file transfer (he has no internet on buggy machine)
[05:59] <acer_> i want the deb file as i cant update my repos
[05:59] <Jester45> QAH: set more than 2 desktops
[05:59] <Bodsda> acer_, why cant u update your repo's?
[06:00] <oldbluebox> Bodsda: it says -bash: syntax error near unepected token `newline'
[06:00] <PmDematagoda> Bodsda, that's cool, you help with FT, Im useless at that:)
[06:00]  * tj83 has gtg lol
[06:00] <oldbluebox> thanks tj
[06:00] <oldbluebox> appreciate it
[06:00] <acer_> Bodsda, dialup connection take too long to update
[06:00] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, hah,.,. is this cmd correct? cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > file.txt?
[06:00] <PmDematagoda> whoops, oldbluebox, uhh, what's graphics problem?
[06:00] <tj83> oldbluebox, np sorry
[06:00] <QAH> Even when i set 4 desktops, it won't do it
[06:00] <MonkeyMan> How do I fix broken packages? I have already tried sudo dpkg --configure -a which does not do anything. Help please
[06:00] <PmDematagoda> Bodsda, yeah, as long as the guy executes it at HOME
[06:01] <unop> MonkeyMan, try this too.  sudo aptitude install -f
[06:01] <Bodsda> acer_, youll still need the dependencies, take the bullet and do an update
[06:01] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: well I installed a wrong driver for my graphics card and now it's giving me a blank screen at login
[06:01] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, yeah, thought so
[06:01] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, then what do I do?
[06:01] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, what's the VGA you have?
[06:01] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, when does it give the error? after the cat command? or after the cp?
[06:01] <Jester45> MonkeyMan: could you pastebin an error so we can know more details about what your problem is
[06:01] <unop> Bodsda, why don't you just write that command as  cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.txt  :)
[06:01] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, did you install the package? Did sudo sensors-detect?
[06:01] <matthew_> yes
[06:02] <oldbluebox> Pm: nVida GeForce 4 440 Go
[06:02] <Jordan_U> acer_, You can get .debs from packages.ubuntu.com but in loading the pages required to get any dependencies you will have probably wasted more time than if you just updated
[06:02] <Bodsda> unop, because its late and im not thinking properly ;~)
[06:02] <Bodsda> unop, cheers dude
[06:02] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, did you instruct the script to add the entries?
[06:02] <QAH> Even when i set 4 desktops, it won't do it
[06:02] <theFATMAN> how does one install fonts?
[06:02] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, yes
[06:02] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, what's the driver you installed>
[06:02] <PmDematagoda> ?
[06:02] <Jordan_U> !fonts | theFATMAN
[06:02] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, restart the PC
[06:02] <oldbluebox> Pm: Nvidia GeForce 4
[06:02] <Bodsda> theFATMAN, one downloads them
[06:02] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, what's the driver you installed?
[06:02] <oldbluebox> was exactly what it was called
[06:02] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, do I have to? I'm running some large batch jobs ATM
[06:03] <theFATMAN> Jordan_U: thank you
[06:03] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, you can modprobe the modules
[06:03] <Jordan_U> theFATMAN, np
[06:03] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, but that needs some time to find out
[06:03] <theFATMAN> Jordan_U: peace
[06:03] <PmDematagoda> matthew, hold up
[06:03] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, hold up
[06:03] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, what entries did it write?
[06:03] <superbenny> hey all
[06:03] <Bodsda> hey superbenny
[06:04] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, install the Nvidia driver then:- sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[06:04] <QAH> matagoda> ?
[06:04] <oldbluebox> okay
[06:04] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:04] <QAH> Even when i set 4 desktops, it won't do it
[06:04] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, i can't really remember perfectly, but some driver for a chipset, and a comment about the K10 temp driver not being around yet
[06:04] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, i thought you said no internet on that box?
[06:05] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, i might just kill the job though, its taking way too long, and will take several weeks to finish at this rate
[06:05] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, rerun the script, and this time tell it to NOT add them entries, just copy and paste them to pastebin
[06:05] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: I ran the command for xconfig, now what
[06:05] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, you dont have to
[06:05] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, are you running the X-Server?
[06:05] <decideci> hello hello! is anyone here whos using a syncmaster TFT screen? i am wondering about just how bad the picture is, when not using the standard 1650*1050 resolution (in console for example, or in xp when playing fullscreen games)
[06:05] <matthew_> !paste
[06:05] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, did you pastebin it?
[06:05] <matthew_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23655/
[06:06] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: I dont know what the X-Server is =\
[06:06] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, k give me a minute
[06:06] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, ok, just execute:- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:06] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, its the thing that gives you pretty pictures
[06:06] <oldbluebox> okay
[06:06] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, try sudo modprobe f71882fg
[06:07] <myz2_8_urstang> can someone help me please?
[06:07] <atallicus> bodsda I am having a problem installing dmix, it keeps saying alsa is unable to open slave, and the open some mp3 keeps failing
[06:07]  * Bodsda admires PmDematagoda's skill, he just walks in and 5 mins later dominates the channel ;~)
[06:07] <QAH> Jester45: Even when i set 4 desktops, it won't do it
[06:07] <PmDematagoda> Bodsda, didnt notice that :D
[06:07] <Bodsda> atallicus, what is dmix and why do you think you need it?
[06:07] <MonkeyMan> Well I ran sudo aptitude install -f and it did not fix the problem. What happened to the damn thing was installing updates for 8.04 and it locked up the pc. After that getting the error that packages are broken and must run dpkg --configure -a to fix the problem which does not fix the problem. I guess a reinstall might be in order.
[06:07] <revilodraw> ﻿i have ipv6 disabled, but when i try to go to a website firefox pauses for like 3 or 4 seconds it's very annoying.. my internet is pretty fast, and before i upgraded to hardy it was lightning fast on ubuntu...
[06:07] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, it didn't give me any response
[06:07] <Ani> t
[06:07] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: I restarted, and it's a blank screen at the login
[06:08] <atallicus> bodsda when I removed pulseaudio, wine gave an error and the test wouldn't play any sound
[06:08] <Ani> Hi all
[06:08] <crimsun_> atallicus: dmix is distributed as an integrated pcm plugin for libasound2 (alsa-lib).  You don't need to "install" it additionally.
[06:08] <Bodsda> atallicus, reboot?
[06:08] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, see if you can measure the temp now
[06:08] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, what driver did you accidentally install?
[06:08] <atallicus> do I need to enable it somehow
[06:08] <crimsun_> atallicus: keep in mind that removing pulseaudio doesn't kill the currently running instance of pulseaudio.
[06:08] <oldbluebox> I installed an nVidia driver, but apparently it was the wrong one.
[06:08] <atallicus> ah i did NOT know that
[06:08] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, how do I do that?
[06:08] <atallicus> I will killall and reboot and let you know
[06:08] <Bodsda> atallicus, listen, after removing pulseaudio, you should install nothing else, you need nothing else
[06:08] <crimsun_> atallicus: i.e., you need to log out and back in.
[06:08] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, installed legacy?
[06:08] <oldbluebox> it said "nVidia GeForce 4
[06:08] <Bodsda> atallicus, killall what?
[06:09] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, are you using GNOME?
[06:09] <oldbluebox> I don't know what legacy is but I don't think I installed it
[06:09] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, yes
[06:09] <atallicus> bodsda crimsun says removing pulseaudio doesn't kill the current instance of it running
[06:09] <atallicus> so i will reboot
[06:09] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, can you please tell me exactly what you installed? Or can you just remove that?
[06:09] <Dr_willis_> oldbluebox,  theres 3 versions of thenvidia drivers - glx-legacy for older cards. nvidia-glx for middle aged ones. and then theres the newer ones.
[06:09] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, give me a minute please
[06:09] <Bodsda> atallicus, no it doesnt
[06:10] <oldbluebox> ok, i'd like to just remove it, what is the command to remove and re-configure the drivers?
[06:10] <atallicus> hopefully rebooting will fix it, I will let you know, thankyou
[06:10] <crimsun_> atallicus: you don't need to reboot.  Just log out and back in.
[06:10] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, sudo apt-get remove package-name
[06:10] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, install sensors-applet
[06:10] <atallicus> will do
[06:10] <PmDematagoda> then add that applet to the panel
[06:11] <Gault> how do i get ubuntu to recognize a raid set? its hardware sata RAID, it shows up in bios post as a healthy set.. but gparted shows the 2 individual devices both unallocated space
[06:11] <PmDematagoda> interesting, AA 2.3 is coming
[06:12] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, its working, my core temp is 49C, but it says system temp is 128C, I think thats an error though
[06:12] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, then that maybe something with the sensor or the driver
[06:12] <Dr_willis_> 128c would be.. like err..  over boiling :)
[06:12] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, unfortunately I cant help you there
[06:13] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: i'm using this command to reconfigure: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:13] <matthew_> PmDematagoda, what sort of sustained temperature starts to damage a GPU? Because my GPU is at 54C and can climb to 80C when i'm playing some games
[06:13] <Gault> mines 28C for CPU
[06:13] <PmDematagoda> matthew_, you can assume that 80C is cool because mine goes to 95C and still works
[06:13] <matthew_> Gault, really? Thats super low
[06:14] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, that is what you normally use, but you can reconfigure X with nvidia's utilities
[06:14] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, did you remove the other driver?
[06:14] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, multiple drivers can cause conflicts like the one you are having
[06:14] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: I know but I don't know how to do that or reconfigure or remove the drivers so i'm just going to do that to start from scratch
[06:14] <oldbluebox> oh...
[06:14] <oldbluebox> I don't know how to remove drivers =\
[06:14] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, do you know the name?
[06:14] <oldbluebox> i'll find out in a second
[06:14] <oldbluebox> it's rebooting
[06:14] <atallicus> bodsda still no go, in game sound still doesn't work.  I don't know what else to do
[06:14] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, I can help you remove the driver, but I need to know the name
[06:15] <crimsun_> atallicus: which game?
[06:15] <Bodsda> atallicus, head over to #winehq and ask them
[06:15] <atallicus> crimsun World of Warcraft
[06:15] <atallicus> I asked earlier and no one answered, I can try again though
[06:15] <crimsun_> atallicus: make sure you've set wine to use ALSA
[06:15] <atallicus> I did
[06:15] <oldbluebox> PmDematagoda: it says that ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, do I want to configure?
[06:15] <Bodsda> atallicus, double check that pulseaudio is removed
[06:15] <crimsun_> atallicus: if you run wine from a terminal, does it actually show that?
[06:16] <oldbluebox> or just continue
[06:16] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, just continue
[06:16] <bsusa> Does Ubuntu 8.04 come default with Samba ready and installed?
[06:16] <atallicus> bodsda pulseaudo still shows in the sound menu
[06:16] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, I found the configure utility as useless as anything useless out there
[06:16] <Bodsda> atallicus, you should run wine like this -- cd /path/to/exe/ && wine ./game.exe
[06:16] <oldbluebox> oh really? hum, okay
[06:16] <Bodsda> atallicus, what happens if you try to remove it with apt-get remove?
[06:16] <oldbluebox> I'm at the GUI now, what do you need to know sir?
[06:16] <atallicus> bodsda it says it was removed
[06:17] <Bodsda> cool
[06:17] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, lol, what's the name of the driver you accidentally installed/
[06:17] <crimsun_> atallicus: (set the sound menu to ALSA.)
[06:17] <atallicus> bodsda I've used this for opening wow WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -OpenGL
[06:17] <Gault> how do i get ubuntu to recognize a raid set? its hardware sata RAID, it shows up in bios post as a healthy set.. but gparted shows the 2 individual devices both unallocated space
[06:17] <atallicus> crimsun the audio in winee is set to alsa
[06:18] <Bodsda> atallicus, im no wine expert but they say cd to the dir of the exe then run with ./game.exe
[06:18] <atallicus> wine*
[06:18] <Bodsda> wine ./game.exe*
[06:18] <atallicus> bodsda I will try yours
[06:18] <oldbluebox> PM: it says Nvidia Accelerated graphics driver
[06:18] <oldbluebox> it says status is not in use

[06:18] <Bodsda> !imagemagick

[06:18] <oldbluebox> it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[06:19] <Bodsda> MeRodent, imagemagick
[06:19] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, remove the entire things:- sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new
[06:19] <MeRodent> Bodsda, thanks.
[06:19] <PmDematagoda> oldbluebox, then do:- sudo apt-get remove nvidia=glx
[06:19] <Bodsda> atallicus, ok, but i need to know the file path and the exact name of the exe (case sensitive)
[06:19] <PmDematagoda> no = sign

[06:21] <Dr_willis_> anyone know of the proper way to make the external monitor a little smarter about this? checking the xrand tools now.

[06:23] <oldbluebox> yeah, nvidia

[06:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, k, after that's done, install it in Ubuntu and do:- sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:36] <Decepticon> and one that would work for mythtv
[06:36] <racarter> does anyone use xfce4-terminal?
[06:36] <Amun> Decepticon: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814145067R
[06:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, once you reconfigure, restart the X-Server by pressing Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[06:36] <Amun> just get that
[06:36] <fma243> btw where to get banshee audio
[06:37] <Bodsda> fma243, i would try googling it
[06:37] <fma243> !find banshee
[06:37] <Decepticon> Amun hmm ok.
[06:37] <fma243> i think its in synaptic
[06:37] <mydoghasworms> How do I set a the pictures screensaver to show only pictures from a certain folder?
[06:37] <Amun> more bang for the buck, and i'm sure s-video works great on it. s-video is s-video. not some high-tech feature only a few cards have.
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> bloody hell
[06:38] <Bodsda> fma243, someone mentioned that the latest version may not be in synaptic but there are older versions
[06:38] <oldbluebox> pm: can I just install the deb file from the usb stick?
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> I didnt see the Intrepid release
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> :/
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, sure
[06:38] <oldbluebox> ok
[06:38] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, what intrepid release???
[06:38] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-1/
[06:39] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, Note: no one tell me about alpha being unstable, im aware -- PmDematagoda do you think its stable enough to test? bearing in mind im not amazingly technical
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, I dont know if it's stable yet, I didnt try it:)
[06:40] <oldbluebox> PM: sorry, one sec, girlfriend called
[06:40] <Bllz> does anybody know how to get a 3rd generation ipod nano to work with a music player like banshee?
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, np
[06:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, are you planning on testing?
[06:40] <Gault> Hello, how do i get ubuntu to recognize a raid set? its hardware sata RAID, it shows up in bios post as a healthy set.. but gparted shows the 2 individual devices both unallocated space
[06:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, of course:)
[06:41] <Jangari> is there an easy way to run an x session from a remote server? Can I boot straight to a remote server using grub, for instance?
[06:41] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, in vbox or gonna risk your system ;~)?
[06:41] <oldbluebox> ok sorry pm: it's installed, now what command do you want me to run at the terminal?
[06:41] <Bllz> How can I get a 3rd generation ipod nano to sync with a music player like banshee?
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, risk my system, what else:D
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:42] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, breaking things is fun, il think il do a dist upgrade later today ;~)
[06:42] <rabelais> Jangari, google for LTSP
[06:42] <Bodsda> !repeat | Bllz
[06:42] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, hehe
[06:42] <oldbluebox> ok leme pastebin
[06:43] <Bllz> Bosoda:  yeah i already checked google, ubuntu forums, linux forums, etc...
[06:43] <racarter> is there a way in vim to set tabs to be 4 spaces?
[06:43] <racarter> and spaces not tab char
[06:43] <Bllz> sometimes things get missed in these channels...
[06:43] <RancidKraut> apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the version of the php5 package.
[06:43] <razofur3> anyone know anything about vgextend ?
[06:43] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m3c945020
[06:43] <RancidKraut> I'm at version 5.1.2 right now. What can I do to upgrade?
[06:43] <rabelais> racarter, google for: vim tabstop
[06:44] <Jangari> looking now, rabelais, but this is a red hat server who administrator won't allow installing any more software not recommended by red hat
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, then no
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, you can try vnc, but that's not exactly what you're looking for
[06:44] <Jangari> no, not really,
[06:44] <rabelais> Jangari, you can also try tunnelling X applications over ssh...but that's probably also not what you're looking for
[06:44] <Jangari> i can ssh in fine, i just want gui too\
[06:45] <Dr_willis_> racarter,  with vim i belive its possible to set the tabs to all sorts of things. :) i just dont rember how.
[06:45] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, pres Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, then see if it works
[06:45] <Bodsda> racarter, google "vim cheatsheet ubuntu"
[06:45] <rabelais> Jangari, if you just want gui, then you can run an X app through an ssh tunnel
[06:45] <oldbluebox> PM: I pressed it, it's rebooting now
[06:45] <RancidKraut> ﻿apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 from 5.1.2 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the PHP Version that php5 carries. What can I do to upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.2?
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, it doesn't reboot, it restarts X
[06:46] <rabelais> Jangari, just ssh with -X, ensure you have a local X server running (cygwin if on windows) and just run your application from the ssh terminal
[06:46] <oldbluebox> PM: it took me to the login screen
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, there we go
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, your problem is fixed :)
[06:46] <oldbluebox> well..
[06:46] <oldbluebox> um, it wont go larger than 800x600
[06:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, did it tell you anything about fail-safe?
[06:46] <oldbluebox> and it did before when I originally installed ubuntu
[06:46] <Dr_willis_> Bodsda,  cool.. setting http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif as my desktop wallpaper. :P
[06:47] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, haha, one graph prob after the other, log in and see if theres any restricted drivers
[06:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, are you at the desktop?
[06:47] <oldbluebox> I just want it at 1024x768

[06:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does it open?
[06:47] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, haha, maybe subconsciously after a few years youll no everything about vim ;~)
[06:47] <rabelais> Jangari, I may also suggest using -C for compression if you're doing this over the internet
[06:47] <atallicus> bodsda I got it! Changed Windows Vista to Windows 2000 in wine, ran aoss and it works!
[06:48] <oldbluebox> PM: the no, nothing opens
[06:48] <atallicus> thankyou so much for the help
[06:48] <Bodsda> atallicus, ah, yes, your welcome, glad you figured it out ;~)
[06:48] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does it give a command not found?
[06:48] <rabelais> Jangari, X forwarding happens to be pitifully inefficient and very bandwidth heavy
[06:48] <atallicus> you guys have a great night and thankyou again!
[06:48] <oldbluebox> it just brings up another line
[06:48] <Bodsda> bye atallicus
[06:48] <oldbluebox> i typed:
[06:48] <oldbluebox> gksudo nvidia-settings
[06:48] <oldbluebox> and it just brought up another line
[06:48] <Dr_willis_> Bodsda,  i got  one of the Orieally books on it. :) every so often i reread it and relearn somthing new.
[06:48] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, a box popped up asking for your password?
[06:49] <oldbluebox> no, nothing popped up
[06:49] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, do sudo nvidia-settings
[06:49] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, yeah, his books r good
[06:49] <Jangari> whoa, that was trippy
[06:50] <oldbluebox> weird, it says command not found
[06:50] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, do:- sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings, if it asks you to remove some stuff, dont allow it to, just post it
[06:51] <Bodsda> Dr_willis_, vimtutor is good aswell
[06:51] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, whoa, you dont have net right?
[06:52] <mluser-home> is there a amd64 ubuntu channel?
[06:52] <Bodsda> mluser-home, no, you can ask questions in here, theres no seperate channel
[06:52] <oldbluebox> pm: no I don't
[06:52] <mluser-home> Bodsda: thanks

[06:52] <RancidKraut> ﻿apt-get upgrade php5 doesn't upgrade my version of php5 from 5.1.2 to 5.2. packages.ubuntu.com lists 5.2 as the PHP Version that php5 carries. What can I do to upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.2?

[06:52] <msshams> ﻿hi, can you please tell me that have "toshiba U405-S2830" any problem with linux? i can't find any article about this model in linux-laptop.net
[06:52] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, after that's done, do gksudo nvidia-settings again
[06:53] <mluser-home> Anyone know if the sun java browser plugin is available for amd64 linux yet?
[06:53] <Fungusman> I'm trying to find the config file so I can change the save path. Tried google,
[06:53] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off
[06:53] <Fungusman> lol
[06:53] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  yes i do, But ive never altered its savepath.
[06:53] <Fungusman> Thanks Dr.
[06:54] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  check the manpage? or the programs homepage.
[06:54] <Fungusman> I did, they only explain where the default path is.
[06:54] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  its a very basic progam. it may not even have a config.  :)
[06:54] <PmDematagoda_> anyone here knows AppArmor? I need some help with it
[06:55] <notaguest> can i disable screen savers in xorg.conf?
[06:55] <Tweaker> Hello all, I got a few more questions tonight.
[06:55]  * Bodsda is so tempted to shout 'man page' at PmDematagoda ;~)
[06:55] <oldbluebox> PM: a prompt came up, says: you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file etc.
[06:55]  * MrLukipela is going crazy trying to figure out this bug.
[06:55] <Tweaker> How would I go about running FPS Creator and FPS Creator x10 on wine?
[06:55] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  on the cheese web page. the beta version has --> add the possibility to change the path, where photos and videos are stored
[06:55] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, that means its not complete, can you post the output of:- cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:56] <Fungusman> Oh great !
[06:56] <Fungusman> Must not be in the repos
[06:56] <Bodsda> Fungusman, if you downloaded the source code, it probably wouldnt be to hard to alter the default file path
[06:56] <oldbluebox> roger that
[06:56] <Fungusman> k
[06:56] <QAH> I need some help with my 3d desktop for ubuntu.
[06:56] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  Correct.. the cheese in repos is about 3+ mo old.
[06:56] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off.  This is after updating my video drivers.
[06:56] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  so id say go grab the beta.
[06:56] <notaguest> fglrx 8.6 gives me segmentations faults after installing in hardy anyone know the cause?
[06:56] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_ in the hardy repos?
[06:57] <puff_> why do auto updates break things ffs
[06:57] <Tweaker> So how would I go about updating direct X on linux?
[06:57] <Fungusman> Dr Willis, web url are you using ?
[06:57] <QAH> How come my 3d desktop cube only is a two-sided plane? Even when I put 4 desktops, it is only 2 sided. What is the problem?
[06:57] <PmDematagoda_> Tweaker, direct X on Linux? You mean through Wine?
[06:57] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  the cheese homepage
[06:57] <Tweaker> PmDematagoda Yes threw wine.
[06:57] <bman> can someone point me to a howto on posting a kernel patch?
[06:57] <puff_> QAH: As soon as you find out let me know please..
[06:57] <Dr_willis_> http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese/
[06:57] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, The best you can do is get the latest version of wine
[06:57] <Tweaker> Jordan_U:  Would that possible help?
[06:57] <PmDematagoda_> Tweaker, oh, k
[06:58] <Tweaker> I need direct x 9.0c
[06:58] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m3df20dea
[06:58] <PmDematagoda_> bman, what's the patch?
[06:58] <QAH> puff_: You are having the same trouble?
[06:58] <crimsun_> bman: to Ubuntu?
[06:58] <bman> adding support for rockband guitar to the xpad driver in the kernel
[06:58] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, What problem are you having?
[06:59] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, the system logs me off.  This is after updating my video drivers.
[06:59] <puff_> QAH: yes, it just looks like a piece of paper when i rotate
[06:59] <bman> i would think it would be better directly in the kernel than ubuntu specific
[06:59] <Bodsda> QAH, puff -- install compiz-config-settings manager     --       sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings manager        then run     ccsm          go to general plugin, desktop size tab change top slider to 4
[06:59] <Tweaker> Jordan_U: I need an updated version of Direct X for FPSMaker X10, and for some odd reason FPS Maker [XP] crashes on start up, with an unknowen error.
[06:59] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Are you using compiz?
[06:59] <notaguest> I now hate AMD/ATI
[06:59] <Dr_willis_> Fungusman,  you can get the latest from cvs with  svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/cheese/trunk cheese  - but i dont rember how to compild the cvs version now.. :)
[06:59] <puff_> lets try that
[06:59] <minimaxe1> bman: isn't xpad a userspace driver?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, Try asking in #winehq
[06:59] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, I cannot tell, i dont believe so.
[06:59] <Tweaker> Ok
[06:59] <Tweaker> Thank you
[06:59] <QAH> Bodsda: I have done that, but when I set it to 4 it still is flat.
[07:00] <Jordan_U> Tweaker, np
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do:- sudo modprobe nvidia
[07:00] <wols_> Tweaker: this is ubuntu related how?
[07:00] <Bodsda> Im starting think the desktop cube is the only reason some people are switching
[07:00] <puff_> no
[07:00] <oldbluebox> pm: FATAL: error running install command for nvidia
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you get any errors?
[07:00] <puff_> its my friends laptop
[07:00] <bman> its in $kernelsource/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/
[07:00] <Bodsda> QAH, try restarting compiz --   compiz --replace
[07:00] <orgthingy> wow
[07:00]  * orgthingy just knew about Wubi
[07:00] <QAH> Bodsda: What, I type that in the console?
[07:00] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, im not versed in ubuntu very much, how do i tell if im using compiz ??
[07:00] <oldbluebox> pm: when i look at drivers, it says that the nvidia driver is "not in use"
[07:00] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hehe, there we are, now run:- sudo modprobe -i nvidia
[07:01] <oldbluebox> oh ok
[07:01] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, does that work?
[07:01] <Bodsda> QAH, type this in a terminal                 compiz --replace
[07:01] <QAH> Okay. Will do
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if so, restart X and see if it works
[07:01] <oldbluebox> pm, it doesn't do anything
[07:01] <oldbluebox> just gives me another line
[07:01] <Jordan_U> MrKennie, If yo are using anything other than "none" in visual effects then you are using compiz
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if things are ok, just restart the PC and see if it is still ok
[07:01] <oldbluebox> unless that means it worked
[07:01] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, error?
[07:01] <oldbluebox> no errors
[07:01] <oldbluebox> just another line
[07:02] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U heh i dont even have a Preferences in system.
[07:02] <QAH> Bodsda: Should I set the desktop number to 4 before resetting compiz?
[07:02] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no error usually means it worked
[07:02] <oldbluebox> oh
[07:02] <oldbluebox> ok what's the command to restart x again?
[07:02] <raitann> ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:02] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[07:02] <oldbluebox> thanks
[07:02] <Bodsda> QAH, yes, then close ccsm then replace compiz
[07:02] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:03] <MrLukipela> 8.04
[07:03] <QAH> Bodsda: Okay

[07:03] <bman> thanks crimsun
[07:03] <minimaxe1> Bodsda: i think the 3D effects are magnetic to the wrong type of people, though

[07:03] <Bodsda> puff, no probs
[07:03] <Dr_willis_> 'Eye candy - causes Ocular Cavaties'
[07:03] <mftom> can anyone recommend a good web design editor to use?
[07:03] <oldbluebox> still 800x600, with no option to make larger
[07:03] <Bodsda> minimaxe1, i agree!! the come they get they bitch!!
[07:03] <mftom> i downloaded amaya but i dont like it
[07:03] <Jordan_U> !html | mftom
[07:04] <QAH> Bodsda: That didn't help.
[07:04] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox,  ok, run nvidia-settings again
[07:04] <Bodsda> mftom, gedit or vim
[07:04] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox,  see if it works this time
[07:04] <Bodsda> QAH, ask in #compiz-fusion
[07:04] <mftom> thanks guys
[07:04] <mftom> i heard of gedit
[07:04] <Dr_willis_> msshams,  theres not  much of a reason to get a macbook to run linux.  You may want to check out the Dell Linux laptops for the least hassles.
[07:04] <mftom> i dont like kompozer either
[07:04] <mftom> :(
[07:04] <oldbluebox> pm: it says that i'm not using the nvidia x driver
[07:05] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hmm
[07:05] <oldbluebox> PM: when I pull up system, admin: drivers, it says that the driver is not in use
[07:05] <MrLukipela> dr_Willis, if you ever need help dont call dell though, linux is treated as a joke within their technical support department.
[07:05] <oldbluebox> PM: do I need to enable it?
[07:05] <Jordan_U> msshams, Dell sells laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed
[07:05] <Dr_willis_> MrLukipela,  I never call tech support for anything.
[07:05] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, can you post the output of:- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[07:05] <minimaxe1> Dr_willis_: msshams: unless you want a macbook air... that's a reason to get a mac even if you could care less about OS X
[07:06] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you have to switch  it on either by loading it or correctly configuring X
[07:06] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, That's because Dell doesn't provide the support, if you want commercial support you pay for it from canonical when you buy the computer ( or after )
[07:06] <Dr_willis_> I got linux working good on my new HP laptop  i got last week. :) even the webcam works.
[07:06] <alexweb> hi. i need to make an install ubuntu cd with some additional packages (development tools, web-server, etc...). Is there any software I can use?
[07:06] <fma243> how to get banshee
[07:07] <superbenny> sudo aptitude install banshee
[07:07] <fma243> !find banshee
[07:07] <minimaxe1> MrLukipela: the bad tech support is everywhere though. HP wanted me to install windows XP again.. I gave up, had a friend try fixing it and found the video card and disk were both fried
[07:07] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, a Presario?
[07:07] <MrLukipela> Jordan_U, dell provides support for ubuntu, i work across teh hall from teh team that does it.  They just dont take it seriously at all :D  They send people here quite often.
[07:07] <raheem> I have three flavours of Linux (Ubuntu 8.04, Slackware 12.0, Mandriv) on my HP 6720s
[07:07] <fma243> oh btw i have another question my sound drivers arent working since i installed ubuntu can anyone help
[07:07] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Why do they offer support from Canonical then?
[07:08] <MrLukipela> No clue what they do on the sales side, i just know they have a team that handles support for it.
[07:08] <apinunt> Ubuntu 7.04 - For weeks now when checking for package updates, every package titled "Translations-EN_us" has failed. I have tried nearly every repository with the same result.  The same occurs using Adept Manager, and the command line apt get update. Anyone know how to resolve this?
[07:08] <Tidus> update to 8.04?
[07:08] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  yea.  I forget the exact make/model. I got the lid closed.   it was the special edition in black with the purty gfx on the outside and nvidia card, turion cpu, 4 gb ram,  250gb hd.
[07:09] <maco> msshams: i just bought a laptop from ZaReason with ubuntu preinstalled. i like it.
[07:09] <revilodraw> what is avahi?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:09] <maco> revilodraw: ever see bonjour on a mac?
[07:09] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  it was on sale  total  with tax;'s $800
[07:09] <maco> revilodraw: it lets you browse network devices
[07:09] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m12a62e72
[07:09] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, nice PC:), I installed Fedora 9 on my V3005TU, works like a real charm
[07:09] <PmDematagoda_> hey maco
[07:09] <raheem> !avahi | revilodraw
[07:09] <maco> MrLukipela: i thought they only supported the hardware, not the software
[07:09] <crimsun_> (make sure you ask maco about the new laptop's mic)
[07:09] <maco> PmDematagoda_: hey
[07:10] <revilodraw> maco: ok, because im being told 'the interface does not exist', but i can select wlan0:avahi??
[07:10] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  only thing i had to 'tweak' was the wireless.. ended up using ndiswrappers for it. I was amazed that the webcam worked.
[07:10] <maco> crimsun_: it works. i'm just dumb.
[07:10] <maco> crimsun_: got an Express Card so I can test that slot?
[07:10] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, lol, all the stuff in my lappy works out of the box, it's all Intel:)
[07:11] <maco> crimsun_: i have plenty of finger prints and visual things to test the lack of support for the fingerprint scanner and webcam they say doesn't exist
[07:11] <MrLukipela> maco, depends on how much you pay for support.  for basic level support they just do hardware, anything higher and they will do software.
[07:11] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  i was looking at the Dells they had in store.. but this one was the best 'value' :)  getting scary that laptops have 4gb of ram
[07:11] <crimsun_> maco: nope, sorry, no fancyschmancy.  And no, you're not dumb- it's just Sunday, and you're tired.  :-)
[07:11] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, you might not have to reconfigure anything once NM 0.7 comes with Intrepid :)
[07:12] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  yea - theres some issue/bugs with the bcm 4310 chipset it seems. is why i had to mess with it.
[07:12] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, Im looking more at System76, they seem to be rather good
[07:12] <crimsun_> maco: ...but if you're reading for some more hacking, that stuff can be made to work.
[07:12] <raheem> Dr_willis: My HP 6720s .. i had probs with wireless in Ubuntu 7.10 (and all the distros i tried) .. had to use ndiswrapper.. But, when, now, I am using 8.04 & it works without it :)
[07:12] <crimsun_> err, reading->ready
[07:13] <karen> does anybody have a hp tx2000 with a successfully configured wacom tablet?
[07:13] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  i go to local BestBuy and see what they got on sale normally. :) got 6 mo at 0% interest. if i had spent a little more it would been 0% for 2 years..  heh.
[07:13] <maco> crimsun_: which stuff?
[07:13] <Dr_willis_> PmDematagoda,  imjust a 'impulse' buyer.
[07:13] <crimsun_> maco: webcam, fp scanner.
[07:13] <maco> crimsun_: the webcam that lacks drivers and the fingerprint scanner that's in-progress?
[07:13] <PmDematagoda_> Dr_willis_, same thing could be said about me:)
[07:13] <crimsun_> maco: sí
[07:14] <oldbluebox> PM: sorry, did you get the link I sent you for the pastebin?
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, reboot your PC, start Ubuntu in Recovery Mode
[07:14] <Morkar> Hi
[07:14] <oldbluebox> okay
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, dont worry dude, I was looking at it:)
[07:14] <oldbluebox> I feel like a real pain in the ass
[07:14] <maco> crimsun_: testing suspend and hibernate. brb
[07:14] <karen> does anybody have a hp tx2000 with a successfully configured wacom tablet?
[07:14] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, of course not:), everyone has these troubles once in a while
[07:15] <Morkar> I am back Online again, my Provider needed 3 Month to set up the Internet Connection...
[07:15] <apinunt> Jordan_U: done - http://paste.ubuntu.com/23660/
[07:15] <oldbluebox> PM: which recovery mode, there's kernel 2.6.24-19 and 2.6.24-16
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, whoa, whoa
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, now this gets a bit bad
[07:15] <oldbluebox> oh crap
[07:15] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, what kernel did you run earlier?
[07:15] <oldbluebox> No idea.
[07:16] <oldbluebox> there are 5 options
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, now the fact is that the Nvidia driver module you got is made for one particular kernel
[07:16] <maco_> crimsun_: suspend works
[07:16] <oldbluebox> 2 kernels, each with it's own recovery mode, and a memtest86+
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, it's usually -19 since its the latest
[07:16] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, boot up the -19 kernel in normal mode
[07:16] <oldbluebox> roger that
[07:17] <oldbluebox> ...booting
[07:17] <chasetoys_> if i had to run fsck manually (and fixed *BUNCHES* of errors) ; but segate's dos say that the drive is good... can i relax that the drive is good?
[07:17] <chasetoys_> segates's DOS thing
[07:17] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, if that doesn't work then there are other ways, but that requires you to mess around in Ubuntu Packages unless you get a net connection
[07:18] <oldbluebox> it still says that ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, do I want to continue or configure"?
[07:18] <oldbluebox> says my screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly
[07:18] <QAH> I found out how to make the flat plane turn into a cube
[07:18] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, don't continue, just switch to a tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
[07:18] <QAH> Who was the one that needed help with that?
[07:19] <PmDematagoda_> then do:- sudo modprobe -i nvidia
[07:19] <PmDematagoda_> and restart X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:20] <QAH> Pyth_: Were you the one that needed help with the desktop cube?
[07:20] <hwilde> what's the fastest way to make a backup so I can undo if the upgrades break my computer
[07:20] <oldbluebox> it came up with a screen, says there already appears to be an X server running on display :0
[07:20] <oldbluebox> asking if another display should be tried? yes or no
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> maco, do you have some good experience with AppArmor?
[07:20] <pen> I have a question
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no
[07:20] <jaminkle> whats the best mp3 codec to use.. the one i got from add/remove is so bad
[07:20] <mgolisch> jaminkle: ??
[07:20] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do:- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:21] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, and then:- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:21] <oldbluebox> PM, I hit no, it went to the terminal, then it popped up with another screen askin gthe same question again
[07:21] <adityag> whats the cmd to download and install mysql ?
[07:21] <QAH> Which one of you guys also had the trouble with the 3d desktop? I forgot your name.
[07:21] <BoltClock> adityag: sudo apt-get install mysql-server i think
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, hmm, ok, then press Ctrl+C
[07:21] <webcamwonder> Anyone knows howto directly make Mplayer work with youtube-dl?
[07:21] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:21] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then continue with the other commands I provided
[07:22] <jaminkle> i got the GStreamer codec packs
[07:22] <jaminkle> are they bad or something?
[07:22] <oldbluebox> ok, it started the GNOME display manager
[07:22] <mgolisch> jaminkle: usualy not, whats the problem?
[07:22] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, now switch back with Ctrl+Alt+F7
[07:22] <mgolisch> jaminkle: mp3 works well here
[07:23] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you get the login screen?
[07:23] <oldbluebox> its telling me that ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode again
[07:23] <oldbluebox> continue?
[07:23] <jaminkle> when ever i do anything it laggs the sound
[07:23] <jaminkle> like click on a menu
[07:23] <mgolisch> whenever you do what?
[07:23] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:23] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, if you want we can try installing the driver manually
[07:24] <oldbluebox> PM: would this be a lot easier if I had an internet connection?
[07:24] <MrLukipela> ...
[07:24] <mgolisch> pen: because whatever application it is that displays that tray icon doesnt have that size for its icon?
[07:24] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes, it would be very much easier
[07:24] <oldbluebox> okay, i'll have to do it tomorrow then.
[07:24] <oldbluebox> bleh.
[07:24] <Fungusman> I'm having trubles making a file
[07:24] <Fungusman> I downloaded the newest version of cheese
[07:24] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, k, then start up a thread on Ubuntu Forums
[07:25] <Fungusman> and I type MAKE INSTALL
[07:25] <oldbluebox> you probably won't be around, but what commands do I need to run in the terminal to make it run?
[07:25] <Fungusman> and it doesnt do anything
[07:25] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, we'll continue from there
[07:25] <mgolisch> jaminkle: something must be wrong then, it doesnt happen here
[07:25] <oldbluebox> err, so just start up a thread and copy pasta you the link?
[07:25] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, just the commands may not be enough
[07:26] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, just start a thread, give the stuff you've done and once you connect to the net, post in it again or send me a PM
[07:26] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, Im PmDematagoda :)
[07:26] <MrLukipela> Any reason why updating my video drivers would make terminal crash my laptop whenever i try to load it?
[07:26] <oldbluebox> Pm: what's weird is when I originally installed ubuntu, it was running at 1024x768, then I messed around with the appearence visual effects and it got all screwed up after that reboot
[07:27] <maco__> pen: because if the image is 16x16 and there's a 1px buffer on top and bottom of the image, you need an 18px panel, i think
[07:27] <adityag> i want to conf file of the panel of the current user and want to replace this conf file with another user's conf
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, that was with the vesa driver
[07:27] <mgolisch> MrLukipela: find out why it does that opening xterm and start whatever terminal you usualy use from that xterm, it might tell you whats wrong
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, do you want effects?
[07:27] <oldbluebox> not at this point
[07:27] <oldbluebox> right now all I want is it to just be at 1024x768
[07:27] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you can run X with the vesa rather well, but no effects or such
[07:27] <oldbluebox> like, that's it
[07:27] <oldbluebox> can I do that now?
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, just do:- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:28] <maco> oldbluebox: pmd is a mod on there.  you can pm him the link from inside the forum
[07:28] <MrLukipela> as soon as i select terminal from accessories the system crashes.
[07:28] <oren> any recommendations for a text-based p2p app?
[07:28] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, that command doesnt work
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then see if that makes an improvement
[07:28] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, ?
[07:28] <maco> oldbluebox: if pmd's ok wih that, i mean
[07:28] <the1> hi
[07:28] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, that was for gutsy
[07:28] <maco> the1: welcome to the matrix
[07:28] <the1> yaa
[07:29] <oldbluebox> PM: it asked if I want to use kernel framebuffer device interface
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> maco, Im cool with that:)
[07:29] <oldbluebox> yes or no?
[07:29] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, the graphics config part of   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been removed in hardy
[07:29] <the1> maco: how to setup my ssh server
[07:29] <the1> ?
[07:29] <maco> PmDematagoda_: i just realized i was encouraging breaking a rule :P
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, doesnt it work in Hardy anymore? or has xfix completely taken over?
[07:29] <ilmiyATI> HAY KENALAN YO?
[07:29] <maco> the1: install openssh-server
[07:29] <bazhang> gksudo displayconfig-gtk is the new one PmDematagoda_
[07:29] <PmDematagoda_> maco, np :)
[07:29] <bazhang> ilmiyATI, english please
[07:30] <MrLukipela> bazhang, i did that last night and now i cant get my terminal to load :(
[07:30] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, no, that's for the old Screen Resolution app, this is dpkg itself
[07:30] <maco> !sp | ilmiyATI
[07:30] <maco> !es | ilmiyATI
[07:30] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, not for hardy it isnt
[07:30] <oldbluebox> Pm: should I hit yes or no?
[07:30] <adityag> ﻿i want to conf file of the panel of the current user and want to replace this conf file with another user's conf.......any help will be appreciated
[07:30] <maco> PmDematagoda_: dpkg's way hasn't worked since feisty
[07:30] <Jordan_U> MrLukipela, Try alt+f2 and run "xterm"
[07:30] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes for what?
[07:30] <oldbluebox> a screen popped up, says
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> maco, really?
[07:31] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, kernel framebuffer
[07:31] <oldbluebox> do I want to use kernel fraebuffer device interface
[07:31] <christoz> hello what's the syntax in order to unxup a .zip file into usr/local?
[07:31] <MrLukipela> yay that came up
[07:31] <christoz> unzip*
[07:31] <mgolisch> anonlol: the panels config is mostlikely stored in gconf
[07:31] <christoz> !unzip
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> whoa
[07:31] <MrLukipela> Now how do i fix it so the other one doesnt crash?
[07:31] <Kitu> [08:29:04] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, the graphics config part of   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been removed in hardy << why ?
[07:31] <maco> PmDematagoda_: feisty was the last time that worked.  gutsy and hardy just say "backing up already setup xorg.conf" and then exit without letting you make changes
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, yes
[07:31] <mgolisch> ups i meant adityag
[07:31] <mgolisch> :)
[07:31] <oldbluebox> its auto detecting keyboard and stuff
[07:31] <PmDematagoda_> maco, ah, thanks for that
[07:32] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, did you specify a driver?
[07:32] <the1> maco> done already
[07:32] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Did you respond earlier? I seemed to have lost my connection and had to reconnect.
[07:32] <oldbluebox> PM: it closed out and brought up another line, do I restart X?
[07:32] <maco> Kitu: so you can do hotswap stuff.  now you can plug in a monitor or a projector and have it work right away instead of needing to boot with it plugged in
[07:32] <Bodsda> Kitu, no idea, boot to recovery mode choose 'fix x' is apperently the new solution according to the devs
[07:32] <adityag> mgolisch: where do i find gconf ?
[07:32] <maco> the1: uh, so what else do you ned to do?
[07:32] <Jordan_U> apinunt, What problem were / are you having?
[07:32] <oldbluebox> Pm: how do I specify a driver?
[07:32] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, no, before that, post the output of:- cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:32] <maco> Kitu: but to do that they had to take out all the manual stuff from xorg.conf
[07:32] <Kitu> ok ok
[07:33] <the1> maco : got 1 modem and 1 router
[07:33] <xbj9000> christoz having trouble unzipping something?  lol
[07:33] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386?
[07:33] <the1> maco: and 1 public IP
[07:33] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you wont need to do that, but can you post the output of the command?
[07:33] <maco> the1: ok....? so daisy chain the router to the modem to the internet and connect yourself to the router...i dont get it
[07:33] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Updating packages in synaptic.
[07:33] <maco> the1: and you want to know how to set up port forwarding on your router?
[07:33] <oldbluebox> sure, posting
[07:33] <adityag> mgolisch: actually i deleted most of the shortcuts of the default panel....so i want to reload it
[07:33] <maco> the1: that'd be a question for the router's documentation
[07:33] <PmDematagoda_> maco, summer hols?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Ahh, no, I didn't see your pastebin if you posted one
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: huh?
[07:34] <the1> maco: yaaa...but on my router or modem
[07:34] <PmDematagoda_> maco, summer holidays?
[07:34] <maco> the1: if they both do dhcp, then both
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: yes
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: but i work
[07:34] <maco> PmDematagoda_: but it's a weekend
[07:34] <the1> maco: yaa got dhcp
[07:34] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Idid a pastebin of /etc/apt/sources.list to  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23660/  as requested.
[07:34] <PmDematagoda_> maco, lol, just wondering:)
[07:34] <the1> maco: on modem what port should I put
[07:34] <L1nc01n> Hey, does anyone know how video download helper works in Firefox if I want to rip a youtube video?
[07:34] <maco> the1: er, i didnt mean dhcp, i meant NAT
[07:35] <webcamwonder> Quick question guys, is the Native Flash implmentation in Linux supposed to be really flaky?
[07:35] <maco> the1: 22 is always ssh or sftp
[07:35] <mgolisch> adityag: the settings are stored in xml files somewhere in ~/.gconf, there is and editor: gconf-editor and some management tool gconftool the later can be used to export the settings and iam quite sure you can import it back using that for the other user
[07:35] <oldbluebox> PM: http://pastebin.com/m5225f7bb
[07:35] <webcamwonder> L1nc01n: Yes
[07:35] <bazhang> L1nc01n, you want to dl youtube?
[07:35] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386? is there a specific driveR that I should choose?
[07:35] <sweetgu1> Can someone tell me why apt-file doesn't return a response?
[07:35] <Bodsda> L1nc01n, yes, you load the youtube vid, untill its fully buffered, then click the icon to the right of the url bar, then choose one of the options (just trial and error till you get the correct one)
[07:35] <xbj9000> l1nc01n I don't know but I use the keepit.com bookmark
[07:35] <christoz> xbj9000 yes i do... i want to unzip a tomcat bundle into a dir i've created in usr/local but the error is "caution: filename not matched:"
[07:35] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Try switching to the default mirror in System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[07:35] <cstrazzer> hello guys, id like to know how can i join prospective developers team?
[07:36] <webcamwonder> !youtube-dl | L1nc01n
[07:36] <maco> the1: it's possible to do it on other ports if you need to ssh through somewhere that doesn't allow you to use ssh connections...sshing over 443 is generally safe since 443 is https so everybody allows it
[07:36] <bazhang> !info youtube-dl | L1nc01n
[07:36] <webcamwonder> bazhang: Beat me to it :P
[07:36] <the1> maco: then I should put port 22 on my modem and router.
[07:36] <Bodsda> bazhang, firefox plugin download  helper is much better ;~)
[07:36] <maco> the1: try just the router first. if that doesnt work, then modem too
[07:36] <Fungusman> Hey guys, how do I find and install intltools 0.40  ?
[07:36] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, try restarting X

[07:36] <bazhang> Bodsda, :)
[07:36] <Fungusman> I can;t find it anywhere and my program wont install without it

[07:39] <maco> the1: iptables will automatically allow the daemon to listen on 22 when it's started
[07:39] <oldbluebox> I don't care about the effects
[07:39] <maco> Kitu: huh?
[07:39] <Bodsda> S4nD3r, you need to look into automounting fstab
[07:39] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, this time run:- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:39] <Kitu> http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/source/hardy/hotswap
[07:39] <PmDematagoda_> maco, is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still there?
[07:39] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, that command has nothing to do with graphics ;~) anymore
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: PmDematagoda_ dunno
[07:40] <oldbluebox> PM: do you still want me to type that in
[07:40] <oldbluebox> ?
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, you're joking
[07:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, its still there but not the graphics config part
[07:40] <Kitu> ?
[07:40] <oldbluebox> XBJ, yeah i'm still havin gissues
[07:40] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, no hes not
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: um i meant hotswap as in the term for plugging in hardware while the computer's running
[07:40] <S4nD3r> /dev/sdb1       /media/pendrive vfat    users,auto,uid=1000,gid=2000,umask=007  0       0
[07:40] <maco> Kitu: i didnt even know there was a package named that
[07:40] <S4nD3r> in fstab
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, give me a minute
[07:40] <Kitu> ok
[07:40] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, so what's the new one?
[07:40] <w4> a
[07:40] <oldbluebox> ok
[07:40] <xbj9000> oldbluebox if the new xorg is not working for you, as seems to be common, I usually suggest booting a live Gutsy disc and saving the xorg.conf from there and using it
[07:40] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, reboot to recovery mode, and choose   'fix x'
[07:40] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: I did that and still fail on the Translation-en_US packages.
[07:40] <mgolisch> it will give back the std conf for sure, where no driver or other settings are set
[07:40] <the1> maco: ok
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, ok
[07:41] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, i couldnt believe it either, it was an extremely frequently used command (with the -phigh) and they removed it!!
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, ok, like Bodsda said, reboot Ubuntu in Recovery Mode, then run Fix X.
[07:41] <xbj9000> oldbluebox I don't know what's up with Hardy's xorg but Gutsy usually gives me a better xorg.conf
[07:41] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, very true, it was really useful
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: you mean instead of mostly blank?
[07:42] <NinjaBuntu> !shell
[07:42] <xbj9000> exactly
[07:42] <Dr_willis_> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - dosent work as well now with the 'minimal X config' stuff in the newer xorg.
[07:42] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, recovery mode is an option on the grub menu, and 'fix x' is also an option after youve done that
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: the mostly blank is for the hotswappiness of new xorg
[07:42] <kingfishr> how can i disable the menu that pops up when I alt-right click a window?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> apinunt, Can you pastebin the output from an apt-get update?
[07:42] <NinjaBuntu> !autodeb
[07:42] <PmDematagoda_> maco, is it ok that I completely block packet forwarding on iptables?
[07:42] <xbj9000> maco explain?
[07:42] <Bodsda> !msgthebot | NinjaBuntu
[07:42] <maco> xbj9000: it lets you plug in a projector without rebooting or restarting X
[07:42] <maco> PmDematagoda_: *shrug* sure?
[07:42] <xbj9000> maco oh great I need to do that all the time...  :p
[07:43] <notaguest> how do i stop tv out from going into screen saver mode?
[07:43] <homecable> can any one test this for me http://joey.ath.cx/speedtest/ i need alot of people to load my server
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> maco, lol
[07:43] <xbj9000> anyway maco, that's the work-arround I've had to use on a couple of machines
[07:43] <oldbluebox> I did fix x, it did something then brought up the recovery menu again
[07:43] <oldbluebox> now what?
[07:43] <maco> xbj9000: i assume that's sarcasm, but honestly when you have to give a presentation in class or at work you and the computer look pretty stupid fumbling about trying to get graphics working on the other screen while the windows and mac users plug in and go
[07:43] <bazhang> homecable, is that related to ubuntu support?
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> xbj9000, take a look at the way Fedora makes it's xorg.conf's then talk about a minimal xorg.conf :D
[07:43] <miguelrsilva> I,m installing ubuntu-8.04-server-i386, and it didn't detected my drive. but there is a sata disk pluged in. is there a problem with sata disks and ubuntu-8.04-server-i386? is there a specific driveR that I should choose?
[07:43] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, run reboot
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, then boot Ubuntu normally again
[07:44] <oldbluebox> booting
[07:44] <oldbluebox> BETTER!
[07:44] <oldbluebox> woooooot
[07:44] <NinjaBuntu> Hmmm anyone know aout AutoDeb?
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> maco, excellent point
[07:44] <oldbluebox> awesome
[07:44] <oldbluebox> PM, lemme buy you a freaking beer
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> maco, but the one you are talking about is XRandR
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, working?
[07:44] <oldbluebox> well it's 1024x768
[07:44] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you owe it to Bodsda though
[07:45] <oldbluebox> which is all I wanted in the first place
[07:45] <xbj9000> pmdematagoda, maco, oldbluebox, I don't know which way is best but I know it's given me and others some trouble and using the older version has worked well for my machines that have only one constant monitor
[07:45] <oldbluebox> oh ok i'll buy you both beers
[07:45] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, I thought the other commands work, but it seems that XFix is best
[07:45] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, oh, cool,.,. what did i do??
[07:45] <S4nD3r> what to do?
[07:45] <Kiba1> is it normal with *buntu that there's virtually no information in xorg.conf?
[07:45] <oldbluebox> PM, so basicly, i'm using whats called a vesa driver"?
[07:45] <Kiba1> it's really short :-s
[07:45] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, you provided Xfix(though I knew it in the first place:P)
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, either that or you're using nv
[07:46] <oldbluebox> ok
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you must be using the nv driver
[07:46] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, hey! no stealing my thunder now!! im gonna dance the night away knowing i helped someone !! woot!!
[07:46] <maco> PmDematagoda_: i think the point of the minimal is so that XRandR doesn't get all WTF
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, shut up and go away
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> :P
[07:46] <PmDematagoda_> maco, yeppers, that's what
[07:46] <oldbluebox> I'm sorry, thanks for being patient with me, the laptop i've installed ubuntu on had a bad virus so I thought I would just reformat it with ubuntu for kicks and use the new laptop as my primary computer
[07:47]  * Bodsda cowers away
[07:47] <maco> PmDematagoda_: and i guess i could now pull the hard drive out of either of my Intel-based laptops and put it in the ATI-based one and be dandy
[07:47] <Rhamphoryncus> file:///usr/share/gnome/help/tomboy/C/figures/tomboy-preferences-synchronization.png
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> maco, I think that's just part of the main picture
[07:47] <oldbluebox> Thanks Bodsda
[07:47] <oldbluebox> thanks Pm.
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> maco, hotpluggable drives?
[07:47] <xbj9000> maco thanks for explaining it to me though, I've been wondering
[07:47] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, your welcome -- but PmDematagoda deserves the credit, he's been helpin you for ages, i was just lucky
[07:47] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, you're welcome, sorry it took so long
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, whoops, I get you
[07:48] <oldbluebox> yeah I think that took like 2 hours.
[07:48] <oldbluebox> ugh geez
[07:48] <notaguest> feel like helping me with my tv out on a ati X1250?
[07:48] <kuru> I have a gutsy installation and I am trying to reconfigure the timezone..
[07:48] <xbj9000> is there a way to use a different xorg or something, if you have those problems and don't need to plug anything?
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, but the Nvidia driver SUCKS on the latest X
[07:48] <kuru> tzconfig appears to be missing but tzselect is there
[07:48] <oldbluebox> thanks again, if you lived in the Dallas Texas area i'd buy you a beer for reals
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> maco, when nouveau gets upto speed, that's where Im going
[07:48] <kuru> I have added the bit about TZ in the /etc/profile .. but I'm not sure it actually is doing what I think it should be
[07:48] <PmDematagoda_> oldbluebox, lol, thanks for the offer :)
[07:48] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[07:49] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, i accept online purchases from www.tesco.co.uk
[07:49] <notaguest> My TV out goes black after a while and it is impossible to wake it up again
[07:49] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, :P
[07:49] <notaguest> screen saver is off under system prefs
[07:49] <Bodsda> oldbluebox, im jokin ;~)
[07:49] <Queti> hola manga de gay!!!!!!!
[07:50] <Queti> Bin laden = GOD
[07:50] <xbj9000> gtfo
[07:50] <sweetgu1> ﻿Can someone tell me how to find applet-widget.h
[07:50] <sweetgu1> Bin Laden! Tell!
[07:50] <Bodsda> bazhang, you evil man, not even a warning ;~)
[07:50] <oldbluebox> lol
[07:50] <PmDematagoda_> sweetgul, eh?
[07:50] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: output of apt-get update on  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23661/
[07:51]  * PmDematagoda_ is now a bit wary of bazhang :D
[07:51]  * Bodsda walks back into the room laughing at PmDematagoda 
[07:51] <sweetgu1> PMDematagoda_: I'm trying to create a GNOME Applet, following the tutorial. The only include file necessary is applet-widget.h
[07:51]  * Bodsda then quickly runs away
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, Ill catch you on UF
[07:52] <S4nD3r> my usbstick is here... connected, but not opened... what to do ?
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, :P
[07:52] <Bodsda> uh oh
[07:52] <jeyk> Hi, I installed "pidentd" via apt-get, but I can't figure out how to tell Ubuntu to run it in the normal runlevels. I see reference to "update-rc.d" when I google, but there's no entry in /etc/init.d for pidentd.
[07:52] <sweetgu1> PmDematagoda_: Do you where I can finds it?
[07:52] <PmDematagoda_> sweetgul, I cant help you there unfortunately, I know a little about installing applets, but not creating them
[07:52] <Bodsda> PmDematagoda, yeah well, erm,.,. guess what, errmm,.,. i no where u live!
[07:52] <bazhang> sweetgu1, apt-cache search filename or look on packages.ubuntu.com
[07:53] <sweetgu1> PmDematagoda_: Bummer.
[07:53] <sweetgu1> bazhang: I'll give that a try, apt-file didn't work
[07:53] <PmDematagoda_> Bodsda, and where do I live?
[07:53] <notaguest> how do i completly disable power saving to monitors?
[07:53] <bazhang> PmDematagoda_, Bodsda please chat in -ot
[07:53] <Bodsda> sorry bazhang
[07:53] <PmDematagoda_> bazhang, understood
[07:54] <sweetgu1> bazhang: No results are return when i Input "apt-cache search applet-widget.h"
[07:54] <Eleaf> yeah, apt-cache search doesn't search actual filenames very well sweetgu1
[07:54] <bazhang> sweetgu1, did you look on packages.ubuntu.com; also what is the link of the tutorial
[07:54] <sweetgu1> Eleaf: shucks.
[07:54] <S4nD3r> Which service is running in your gnome session with something about hal.. dbus.. gnome-volume-manager. Tell me to put in myone...
[07:55] <sweetgu1> bazhang: I did indeed. Let me grab you the link, one moment.
[07:55] <Kiba1> does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[07:55] <dmseg> hey, is there an irc program for ubuntu 8.04??
[07:56] <jeyk> dmesg: there are many
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> dmseg,  several irc clients are there.
[07:56] <xbj9000> dmseg xchat
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> !irc | dmseg
[07:56] <bazhang> dmseg, yes
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> hmm.. wrong factoid. :)
[07:56] <Dr_willis_> or not. heh
[07:56] <jeyk> how do I add pidentd to ubuntu's list of services to run?
[07:57] <maco> dmseg: i use irssi
[07:57] <jeyk> I installed the package via apt-get but it doesn't seem to have an entry in /etc/init.d
[07:57] <DR_K13> wut
[07:57] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: What do you mean by 'connected' in "my usbstick is here... connected, but not opened"?
[07:57] <dmseg> x-chat only has fedora core 7(rpm not deb)
[07:57] <S4nD3r> its plugged
[07:57] <S4nD3r> but, not mounted
[07:57] <S4nD3r> neither browsed
[07:57] <maco> dmseg: just apt-get it
[07:57] <xbj9000> dmseg I'm using xchat right now, it's in the repositories
[07:57] <dmseg> kk thankx
[07:57] <bazhang> dmseg, sudo apt-get install xchat from the terminal
[07:58] <maco> dmseg: why hunt all over the internet when you can mark a checkbox in applications -> add/remove?
[07:58] <kuru> how do I change the date on my server!
[07:58] <kuru> and the time
[07:58] <maco> kuru: with the date command
[07:58] <xbj9000> maco, it's that bad habit from windows probably
[07:58] <kuru> maco, that doesn't do what I want
[07:58] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: This channel is very much populated. I you are talking to me, ölease prefix your message to me with my nick so that I am sure that you are talking to me.
[07:58] <jeyk> does the fact that "apt-get install pidentd" didnt leave anything in /etc/init.d indicate that its a bad package / shitty identd?
[07:58] <kuru> maco, it has the wrong timezone
[07:58] <kuru> maco, I can't select the timezone I want
[07:58] <Gnea> kuru: tzconfig
[07:59] <bullgard4> S4nD3r: please
[07:59] <bazhang> bullgard4, he means plugged into usb port
[07:59] <kuru> gnea, doesn't exist
[07:59] <bullgard4> bazhang: Aha!
[07:59] <bazhang> jeyk, no cursing
[07:59] <Gnea> kuru: sudo tzconfig  ?
[07:59] <maco> xbj9000: i know of that habit as "my brother has managed to download a .exe but can't figure out if he should hit Next, Back, or Cancel, so he's asking me to install stuff for him"
[07:59] <sweetgu1> bazhang: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/applet/changes.html Greybox#2 in the list
[07:59] <xbj9000> haha
[08:00] <Gnea> kuru: maybe tzselect
[08:00] <bazhang> sweetgu1, reading now
[08:00] <kuru> gnea, doesn't do shit
[08:00] <nandy_lost> can anyone solve my problem?
[08:00] <maco> xbj9000: he likes Add/Remove much better
[08:00] <Gnea> !language | kuru
[08:00] <S4nD3r> ..
[08:00] <maco> nandy_lost: bit more specific?
[08:00] <S4nD3r> turned back
[08:00] <kuru> gnea, ugh.. sorry.. frustrated (time is ticking)
[08:00] <xbj9000> maco I miss the useless 'modify' button
[08:00] <xbj9000> or whatever it was
[08:00] <nandy_lost> maco:yes
[08:01] <jeyk> bazhang: ok.
[08:01] <S4nD3r> so... as I said. My stick is plugged, but, I cant access it
[08:01] <S4nD3r> this is not mounted
[08:01] <jeyk> funny how i cant get answer to a dead simple question (how to start a service) but i get told not to curse :P
[08:01] <S4nD3r> and do not allows me to mount
[08:01] <maco> S4nD3r: does it show in "sudo fdisk -l" output?
[08:01] <bazhang> sweetgu1, applet-widget.h is a generic placeholder name
[08:01] <S4nD3r> I put in fstab
[08:01] <maco> jeyk: sudo /etc/init.d/<service-name> start
[08:01] <nandy_lost> i want to know whether an unallocated space can be mered with a free space on a hard disk?
[08:01] <nandy_lost> *merged
[08:02] <S4nD3r> when I try to mount... I have message" mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[08:02] <maco> nandy_lost: if they are next to each other
[08:02] <nandy_lost> and if yes,how?
[08:02] <jeyk> maco: the pidentd package didn't leave anything in /etc/init.d -- sounds like a broken package, right?
[08:02] <kuru> gnea, ah.. I think it could be 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'
[08:02] <xbj9000> nandy_lost use gparted
[08:02] <nandy_lost> yes jeyk
[08:02] <maco> jeyk: possibly
[08:02]  * jeyk tries yet another ident-server
[08:02] <Gnea> kuru: cat /etc/timezone   should tell you what you have currently set
[08:02] <adityag> i want the cmd to install postfix
[08:02] <skurakai> hi i have problem with keyboard. Ubuntu cant remember qwertz keyboard layout. On second start it was qwerty
[08:02] <sweetgu1> bazhang: Who's place is it holding?
[08:02] <nandy_lost> pls help me out
[08:02] <adityag> any help will be appreciated
[08:02] <Gnea> kuru: ah, you're right - nice
[08:02] <maco> kuru: also make sure you didn't do what i did and set your BIOS to local time so the timezone stuff throws it off by expecting UTC in the BIOS
[08:02] <Hobbsee> adityag: 'sudo apt-get install postfix'
[08:03] <jeyk> thanks maco, nandy_lost
[08:03] <Hobbsee> !apt-get > adityag
[08:03] <bazhang> sweetgu1, whatever applet-widget you create; that is just an example name
[08:03] <maco> nandy_lost: listen to xbj9000
[08:03] <xbj9000> nandy_lost if the free space is next to the partition you want to merge it with, you can do so with gparted
[08:03] <maco> nandy_lost: he told you what to do
[08:03] <christoz> i want to define tha JAVA_HOME var from the .bashrc ...in witch line should i insert the paths for jdk?
[08:03] <nandy_lost> but in windows,how it should be?
[08:03] <christoz> or it doesn't matter
[08:04] <maco> christoz: doesn't matter what line, just put "export JAVAHOME=/path/to/jdk" somewhere in there
[08:04] <sweetgu1> bazhang: isn't this code example supposed to be the applet i'm creating?
[08:04] <christoz> ok maco
[08:04] <jeyk> christoz: you want two lines:   "export JAVA_HOME=/java/path/goes/here" and "export JDK_HOME=/jdk/path/goes/here"
[08:04] <maco> nandy_lost: um....use a live cd.  should never mess with partitions while running from one of them
[08:04] <kuru> maco, I can't see what's in the bios, the server is a few thousand miles away from where I am ;)
[08:04] <bazhang> sweetgu1, no that is just the example (unless you wrote that tutorial)
[08:04] <kuru> maco, but it looks right
[08:05] <maco> kuru: oh ok..
[08:05] <nandy_lost> whether that unallocated space be used for installing an OS?
[08:05] <christoz> jeyk, hmm...i suppose that the JAVA_HOME is for the jre right/
[08:05] <christoz> ?
[08:05] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I'm not sure what you mean about windows, but the partition change will show in both systems yes
[08:05] <nandy_lost> xbj9000:i want to merge in windows,then which command ,i should use?
[08:06] <Kiba1> ﻿Kiba`: does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[08:06] <blumm> help
[08:06] <skurakai> no one how can i fix keyboard layout
[08:06] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I don't know how to use windows, it's too hard
[08:06] <sweetgu1> bazhang: i'm lost
[08:06] <nandy_lost> no problem,thanks!
[08:06] <blumm> i get a gnome error msg when i boot : http://pastebin.com/m1f0f7355 ??!
[08:06] <nandy_lost> anyone else???
[08:06] <xbj9000> nandy_lost why are you asking in here if you want to do it in wondows?
[08:07] <Gnea> nandy_lost: start by getting into ubuntu, then ask.
[08:07] <bazhang> nandy_lost, ask in ##windows
[08:07] <sweetgu1> bazhang: can you manage to get one of these to compile?
[08:07] <nandy_lost> in fact,when i removed Ubuntu to install a newer version of it,i got unallocated space
[08:07] <jeyk> christoz: yes
[08:07] <sweetgu1> bazhang: i'm trying to write an applet similar to the existing taskbar with one more button on it, sorta like the start menu
[08:07] <S4nD3r> gnome-volume-manager?
[08:07] <jeyk> christoz: you'll also want to make sure that your PATH includes $JAVA_HOME/bin
[08:08] <DR_K13> I gotta poop . BRB
[08:08] <bazhang> sweetgu1, this is not really the channel for widget compiling; bit busy at the moment.
[08:08] <christoz> ok jeyk thanks
[08:08] <Gnea> !language | DR_K13
[08:08] <xbj9000> nandy_lost I guess you want Partition Magic, but nobody here can help you use it
[08:08] <bazhang> sweetgu1, if that is so difficult for you I would suggest getting a premade theme from gnome-look
[08:08] <adityag> ﻿ can i host a website when my ISP provides me with a static NAT address using apache?
[08:09] <StormStrikes> Does anyone know what I would need to be able to read .chm files in Ubuntu?
[08:09] <bazhang> StormStrikes, there are couple of apps for that
[08:09] <Gnea> adityag: can you telnet to port 80 from the internet and get a response?
[08:09] <xbj9000> adityag your isp would probably not like you running a server
[08:09] <bazhang> StormStrikes, apt-cache search comic
[08:09] <erichammon1> adityag: Yes, you can.  The easiest way is to configure Apache to listen on any IP address.
[08:09] <StormStrikes> bazhang: Thank you, I appreciate that, was not sure how to search synaptic for that.
[08:09] <sweetgu1> bazhang: how'd you figure that it was a place holder
[08:10] <bazhang> StormStrikes, one is called comix; forgot the name of the other
[08:10] <adityag> erichammon1: but how they will have my ip address ?
[08:10] <StormStrikes> bazhang: Checking now for Comic
[08:10] <erichammon1> adityag: How will who have your IP address?
[08:10] <adityag> how they will access my files ?
[08:10] <Gnea> adityag: setup dns
[08:10] <Jordan_U> StormStrikes, Try Xchm
[08:11] <erichammon1> adityag: Have you run an Apache or other web site before?
[08:11] <StormStrikes> Jordan_U: I'm looking for that one now too, thanks.
[08:11] <adityag> erichammon1: i am running apache and my website is ready
[08:11] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  theres several chm viewers besides xchm, theres also a chm2pdf tool
[08:11] <Eleaf> adityag, they will type in your ip address
[08:11] <Eleaf> or you can map a domain name to an ip adityag
[08:11] <adityag> Gnea: how will they access my ip address ???
[08:11] <gwark> hello. how do i get my intel/pro 3945ABG wifi card to connect??   it sees the router, but wont connect
[08:11] <Eleaf> adityag, are you saying that you're behind a nat?
[08:12] <StormStrikes> Dr_Willis_: Is there one preferred over another, I didnt realize there would be so many avaialable.
[08:12] <adityag> but my ip address is 172.16.12.19 ......its a NAT
[08:12] <Gnea> adityag: you'll need to setup your network properly for that to happen. you'll need to read some networking tutorials.
[08:12] <Eleaf> adityag, you need to setup port forwarding
[08:12] <adityag> Eleaf: yes
[08:12] <KIrby> flooo;
[08:12] <arooni> if my computer restarts without being shut down properly... do i need to run fsck each time?  or does this not cause a *lot* of damage?
[08:12] <bazhang> gwark, this is hardy or gutsy; what encryption on the router; what have you tried so far
[08:12] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  perfered? depends on what you want.  Pick one of the chm tools if you want chm.. or convert them to pdf if you perfer pdf.
[08:12] <Eleaf> adityag, port forwarding takes a request on the external ips port (like ip.address.here:80 and maps it to an internal ip)
[08:13] <S4nD3r> no help?
[08:13] <bazhang> S4nD3r, need a question
[08:13] <gooody> how can i test my microphone if it works correctly?
[08:13] <gwark> bazhang, i have WEP on my router .... used to work fine in 7.10 ...... but im in 8.04 now
[08:13] <Eleaf> mm
[08:13] <StormStrikes> Dr_Willis_:  Okay, I would rather have pdfs so I'll see about doing that.
[08:13] <Gnea> adityag: start with this page, please: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[08:13] <maco> gooody: system -> preferences -> sound
[08:13] <S4nD3r> What to do to get my usbstick recognized by my gnome?
[08:13] <Dr_willis_> StormStrikes,  a pdf will be a bit larger. but  i perfer them also
[08:13] <maco> gooody: hit the test button next to capture
[08:13] <erichammon1> adityag: Has your ISP given you a public IP address which maps to your internal NAT IP address?
[08:13] <adityag> Eleaf: ok,cool......how do i setup up port forwarding ?
[08:13] <xbj9000> I think s4nd3r is trying to access a USB thumbdrive, which should be automounting
[08:13] <Eleaf> adityag, it all depends on your router.
[08:14] <maco> gooody: make sure Capture and your speakers' volumes are up and not muted first ;) i had my mic muted
[08:14] <maco> gooody: if you hear stuff from your speakers, your mic works
[08:14] <Eleaf> adityag, figure out your router's ip address and look for some type or port forwarding ability
[08:14] <adityag> yes, it has a public ip address
[08:14] <pen> why is the systray not using the 16x16 icon while the panel has been resized to 16
[08:14] <bazhang> gwark, I had three parts to my question
[08:14] <maco> pen: i told you already that i think it needs a buffer
[08:14] <Eleaf> adityag, most router's/isp modems have some type of config page to change stuff like port forwarding, that's what you need to find and adjust
[08:14] <S4nD3r> which is?
[08:14] <S4nD3r> is a package to install?
[08:14] <maco> pen: the panel has to be 18, i think, so that it has a pixel above and a pixel below
[08:15] <erichammon1> adityag: Then it sounds like your ISP may already be doing the port forwarding.  Your users would connect to the public IP address, it would get forwarded to the internal NAT IP address.
[08:15] <StormStrikes> Is there a way to take all of a .chm file and convert it to pdf at one time.  When Im viewing the chm file it only gives me the option to print one page at a time.
[08:15] <xbj9000> s4nd3r the USB drive should appear on the desktop when you plug it in
[08:15] <S4nD3r>  gnome-volume-manager-gthumb this one?
[08:15] <gooody> ﻿maco: i'm using headset. i hear my voice when i speak to the microphone but don't work in skype.
[08:15] <S4nD3r> libhal.c 1310 : invalid udi:  doesn't startwith '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/'.
[08:15] <S4nD3r> error: libhal_device_get_property_type: (null): (null)
[08:15] <xbj9000> s4nd3r no  :/
[08:15] <adityag> Eleaf: i have its ip address , next ?
[08:15] <S4nD3r> /usr/bin/gnome-volume-manager-gthumb: 16: gthumb: not found
[08:15] <S4nD3r> those errors
[08:16] <Gnea> adityag: this will also answer many other questions that i'm betting you have: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/
[08:16] <S4nD3r> I got
[08:16] <S4nD3r> No?
[08:16] <pen> maco, sorry, you highlight me now so I didn't see your previous comments
[08:16] <gwark> bazhang, i have tried the madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz .........       now im looking for my windows inf file to install windows drivers
[08:16] <adityag> erichammon1: it works exactly as u said
[08:16] <adityag> Gnea: thank u
[08:16] <S4nD3r> Shoulded xbj9000... But this not happens
[08:16] <pen> maco, so what you mean is that I need to set it to 16?
[08:16] <bazhang> gwark, that is not atheros
[08:16] <pen> maco, so what you mean is that I need to set it to 18?
[08:16] <maco> pen: yes, i think that'd work
[08:17] <Eleaf> adityag, go to that ip address in your browser ;)
[08:17] <xbj9000> s4nd3r, neither does it appear in the side panel of nautilus?
[08:17] <bazhang> gwark, can you open router to no encryption for a test
[08:17] <adityag> Eleaf: ok
[08:17] <S4nD3r> Neither!
[08:17] <pen> maco, and should I restart the panel?
[08:17] <maco> pen: how did you even get 16 as an option?  20's the smallest the properties thing lets me pick.  did you screw with gconf?
[08:17] <maco> pen: should automatically resize
[08:17] <S4nD3r> neither when lsusb commandline
[08:17] <gwark> ok thankyou bazhang ,   do you know the solution for the 3945abg ?   and yes i can take the encryption off
[08:17] <pen> maco, no, I can pick to as low as 16
[08:18] <bazhang> gwark, can try
[08:18] <S4nD3r> id like to reset it.
[08:18] <pen> maco, well, your way doesn't work on me, set it to 18 doesn't change it
[08:18] <xbj9000> s4nd3r I don't know why not, but I'll find you a page about mounting FAT partitions
[08:18] <S4nD3r> I will need to format ?
[08:18] <pen> maco, for some
[08:18] <adityag> Eleaf: next
[08:18] <S4nD3r> mount it I know
[08:18] <pen> maco, others are just scaling
[08:18] <pen> maco, not really using a different icon
[08:18] <bazhang> S4nD3r, did you unsafely remove it from windows
[08:18] <erichammon1> adityag: Are you on a home/business network with a router you control or is this a server hosted at an ISP where they take care of the router/NAT?
[08:18] <S4nD3r> Not that I remember
[08:18] <pen> maco, I know the icon for networkmanager has smaller icons for 16x16, but it's not using
[08:19] <gwark> bazhang, brb
[08:19] <xbj9000> wait, s4nd3r can you see the device when you do sudo fdisk -l?
[08:19] <pen> maco, strange
[08:19] <bazhang> S4nD3r, do other computers see it
[08:19] <S4nD3r> using fdisk -l I cant see the device
[08:19] <adityag> erichammon1: server and everything is taken care by the ISP, there just one link that come right my cabinet
[08:19] <S4nD3r> in other computer I cant use it (is windows xp)
[08:19] <pen> maco, do you have any idea?
[08:20] <Eleaf> adityag, did you find anything regarding port forwarding?
[08:20] <christoz> jeyk i want to use java Sun's not the open one...how can i confirm or choose the Sun's jvm
[08:20] <xbj9000> s4nd3r I don't know how you can mount it if it doesn't appear in fdisk -l
[08:20] <gwark> bazhang, wep is now off
[08:20] <maco> pen: nope...the others are all using svg though, i guess
[08:20] <maco> pen: well, the other idea is that 18's still not big enough
[08:20] <adityag> Eleaf: not yet...i have not check those 2 links anyways
[08:20] <xbj9000> s4nd3r if you can't use it in any computer, I'd say it's just broken  :/
[08:20] <bazhang> gwark, open a terminal and type ifconfig (how many entries do you see)
[08:20] <maco> pen: i dont know what kind of buffer it wants
[08:20] <Eleaf> adityag, this site helps you set up port forwarding for specific routers:  http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
[08:20] <pen> maco, when will the panel actually uses the 16x16 icons
[08:21] <pen> maco,  I have never seen any 16x16 icons been used during the half year of ubuntu experience
[08:21] <erichammon1> adityag: Can you ssh into your server from outside?
[08:21] <bazhang> S4nD3r, even windows cannot see it?
[08:21] <adityag> Eleaf: thank you!!
[08:21] <xbj9000> s4nd3r can you use other USB devices in your computer without problems?
[08:21] <S4nD3r> I see mouse USB
[08:22] <adityag>  erichammon1: i dont know...can u check out ??? its ip ::: 221.128.176.99
[08:22] <gwark> bazhang, eth0 & lo
[08:22] <bazhang> S4nD3r, what about other usb sticks
[08:22] <sweetgu1> bazhang: gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), controls); this line returns controls as undefined... i assume it's a place holder as well, turns out the function demands a widget in its place. although, i can't figure which sort.. i put window in place of widget and it compiles but on runtime it spits an error. what do you think?
[08:22] <S4nD3r> just a minute
[08:23] <bazhang> gwark you sure this intel 3945?
[08:23] <Kiba1> does anyone know why i get strange horizontal lines instead of a bootsplash screen?
[08:23] <adityag> erichammon1: success ???
[08:23] <erichammon1> adityag: Are you currently at your cabinet, then?
[08:23] <bazhang> Kiba1, lines of text?
[08:23] <Kiba1> ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿no
[08:23] <gwark> bazhang,  yes,  the wifi used to be there under admin/network, but the option isnt there now .....   ?
[08:23] <Dr_willis_> Kiba1,  inproper framebuffer mode.
[08:24] <maco> pen: dunno
[08:24] <Kiba1> the colors are the same as the splash i got when booting from a live cd
[08:24] <Dr_willis_> !framebuffer
[08:24] <christoz> ubuntu doesn't let me to choose both Sun's jdk and jre jvm why is that?
[08:24] <erichammon1> adityag: Yes, that IP address responds to ping, ssh, and there is a web server on port 80.
[08:24] <adityag> erichammon1: yes, i am....i am typing frm my cabinet only
[08:24] <bazhang> gwark, did it ever work in hardy, or just recently failed to work
[08:24] <maco> gwark: do you have a hardware switch?
[08:24] <adityag> erichammon1: cool
[08:24] <erichammon1> Your web site says it only supports IE5.0 and above :(
[08:24] <drahko> how do i get emerald theme to be default
[08:25] <gwark> maco hardware switch?   dont thnk so, havnt heard of it b4
[08:25] <erichammon1> adityag: You're on an Ubuntu forum :-/
[08:25] <xbj9000> sounds like a lame website
[08:25] <gwark> bazhang, always worked from a fresh install of 7.10
[08:25] <drahko> how do i get emerald theme to be default
[08:25] <Dr_willis_> FireFox3 is Above IE5
[08:25] <Dr_willis_> :)
[08:25] <adityag> erichammon1: yes, u can check out my info(same ip) from my screen name here
[08:25] <gwark> bazhang, just never from after that one.
[08:25] <bazhang> gwark, yes, I have the same card and it works with gutsy and hardy; after hardy it has never worked?
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> Im here
[08:26] <afallenhope> hey my webcam doesn't work with adobe flash player 9 I get the following message in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d2657e8a2
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> I can see my usb device in lsusb
[08:26] <S4nD3r_> Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0951:1603 Kingston Technology
[08:26] <afallenhope> The webcam works though because it works on aMSN
[08:26] <erichammon1> adityag: Sounds like everything is working, you just couldn't test it from inside the cabinet.  I'm checking out.
[08:27] <maco> gwark: like a switch or button you can press that turns off all power to the card so it pretends it doesn't exist at all
[08:27] <bazhang> S4nD3r_, what about other usb sticks
[08:27] <adityag> Eleaf: how do i find my router's name, model name ,company name ?
[08:27] <S4nD3r_> is this
[08:27] <meglo> Is there any way to set up internet connection sharing? firestarter doesn't exactly work, and the only guides on using iptables directly are not definitive, and this resource on iptables is on the order of 600 pages long. The other box is also ubuntu.
[08:27] <gwark> maco, yes i can turn the wifi of with a switch, yes
[08:27] <drahko> anyone help me a sec with emerald theme
[08:27] <maco> gwark: is it off?
[08:27] <S4nD3r> so..
[08:27] <afallenhope> firestarter = EVIL lmao
[08:27] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  thers some gui/tool that can enable it.. buti for get the factoid.
[08:27] <maco> gwark: or possibly, does it only turn off and not back on?
[08:27] <gwark> Maco, it is now
[08:28] <S4nD3r> using fdisk -l appears too !
[08:28] <mgolisch> meglo: isnt there info on that? in the wiki?
[08:28] <nck> my gnome freeze for a minute when i press the quit button
[08:28] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  the 'ip masquerading howto' used tobe the definitive guide on it . ages ago.
[08:28] <adityag> erichammon1: i dint get u, from inside the cabinet???
[08:28] <xbj9000> s4nd3r, that sounds promising, did you reboot?
[08:28] <S4nD3r> yes
[08:28] <gwark> maco, its just never worked..... the drivers could see the router, but could never connected wirelessly to it
[08:28] <apinunt_> Jordan_U: Did you see my  message:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23661/  ?
[08:28] <xbj9000> still no automount though?
[08:28] <drahko> anyone help me a sec with emerald theme
[08:28] <S4nD3r> no
[08:29] <Dr_willis_> drahko,  youmay want to ask a more specific question about emerald and its themes.
[08:29] <S4nD3r> i really would love to have it working
[08:29] <S4nD3r> I runned all this steps https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices
[08:29] <drahko> well i seletcted the imported theme and now i got now window boarders
[08:29] <gwark> maco, bazhang, ..... work kdenetwork help ?
[08:29] <bazhang> S4nD3r, how many usb sticks do you have
[08:30] <xbj9000> s4nd3r..  you aren't running in a virtual machine are you?
[08:30] <S4nD3r> no, im not
[08:30] <adityag> erichammon1: u there?
[08:30] <S4nD3r> I have one
[08:30] <S4nD3r> but I can get another if need
[08:31] <bazhang> S4nD3r, no OS can detect it?
[08:31] <S4nD3r> yes
[08:31] <bazhang> S4nD3r, yes? which one can detect it
[08:31] <S4nD3r> which one?
[08:31] <S4nD3r> Ubuntu 8.04
[08:32] <bazhang> S4nD3r, would a different language channel be more helpful to you?
[08:32] <S4nD3r> no.
[08:33] <meglo> Dr_willis_, mgolisch, sorry, I didn't google hard enough :P. From now on I'm going directly to ubuntu specific sources. Its also most likely because I'm stupid and didn't make a cross-over cable.
[08:33] <dgmul> hey there, i have a question... would installing ubuntu linux on a PS3 make for a really powerful personal computer? or is the ps3 not any more powerful than a normal high performance pc
[08:33] <bazhang> S4nD3r, then try to answer my question clearly: which OS can see the USB Stick when it is inserted into the usb slot (ie see on the desktop)
[08:33] <S4nD3r> I can see on the desktop the icon of usb stick
[08:34] <S4nD3r> but this is not mounted.
[08:34] <bazhang> dgmul, there is a ubuntu-ps3 channel you know
[08:34] <ackbahr> Hi there! Is ther a way to cypher the data in an account?
[08:34] <dgmul> bazhang: oh thanks
[08:34] <dgmul> bazhang: i didn't know
[08:34] <magnetron> dgmul: the PS3 is very powerful, but only for apps that do a lot of scalar products
[08:34] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  :) ihear with 2 gigibit cards you dont need a crossover cable..
[08:34] <maco> ackbahr: cypher?
[08:34] <S4nD3r> The icon is showed in nautilus.
[08:34] <maco> ackbahr: um, you mean encrypt?
[08:34] <ackbahr> maco: yep
[08:34] <bazhang> S4nD3r, what happens when you double click the icon
[08:34] <dgmul> magnetron: what exactly does that mean?
[08:34] <xbj9000> s4nd3r it should mount if you double-click it then
[08:34] <S4nD3r> this is mounted
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys
[08:35] <xbj9000> ..then what's the problem?
[08:35] <bazhang> S4nD3r, so what is the problem
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: create a key, then you can right click anything you want to encrypt and tell it to use your key
[08:35] <S4nD3r> Id like to have it mounted when I plugged it in my usb slot
[08:35] <magnetron> dgmul: it's a special type of mathematical operation. it's often used in 3D graphics and other applications
[08:35] <bazhang> oy
[08:35] <xbj9000> lol
[08:35] <meglo> Dr_willis_, maybe, dont most NICs auto-negotiate cable layout or whatever transparently?
[08:35] <arooni> how do i make it so fsck always runs on a reboot?
[08:35] <maco> ackbahr: if you want to do full disk encryption, though, you have to use the alternate cd and LVM
[08:35] <ackbahr> maco: Is it RSA (pgp or gpg compatible)?
[08:36] <ackbahr> maco: So encryption of the full HD would require a new install?
[08:36] <maco> ackbahr: i believe you get to choose RSA or DSA
[08:36] <adityag> erichammon1: ??????
[08:36] <ackbahr> maco: But it's the same as my pgp key?
[08:36] <Dr_willis_> meglo,  i hear gigibit cards do.. :) but i  havent tested that yet.
[08:36] <maco> ackbahr: if you really wanted full thing, then yeah. if just /home partition, you could backup and recreate the /home partition with lvm
[08:36] <bazhang> gwark, does the livecd see the nic?
[08:37] <Flannel> arooni: tune2fs
[08:37] <ackbahr> maco: Ok... Now if I try to get into Canada with encrypted data, are they going to arrest me for terrorism?
[08:37] <gwark> bazhang, for hardy, i never tried the live cd ..... i went straight for install
[08:37] <bazhang> ackbahr, please chat in ubuntu-offtopic
[08:37] <maco> ackbahr: it's when you try to come home to the US that you'll be arrested
[08:38] <maco> ackbahr: or at least accosted
[08:38] <S4nD3r> ??
[08:39] <ackbahr> bazhang: Sorry about that, was only one question about this....
[08:39] <ompaul> ackbahr, it is offtopic ;-)
[08:39] <ackbahr> ompaul: I totally agree
[08:40] <Bodsda> S4nD3r, try reading this -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

[08:53] <gogi`> Rat409, that page you linked is very helpful!  thanks
[08:54] <metalforever> :)
[08:54] <novi> oh i did it
[08:54] <xbj9000> metal woooo
[08:54] <WindowSmasher> Rat409: I'm looking for the package name. The driver is installed and working, but my wireless light is not
[08:54] <metalforever> metal woo is right
[08:54] <xbj9000> indeed
[08:54] <novi> VPN?
[08:54] <steffen_> windows runs on a mac what the HELL make Apple for a shit
[08:54] <gogi`> awesome!  after installing the two things that that page said my ./configure command worked...yay
[08:54] <novi> ANYONE?
[08:54] <metalforever> agreed.
[08:54] <WindowSmasher> steffen_: Apple loves you
[08:55] <metalforever> ./configure works when you install build-essential
[08:55] <Bodsda> !elaborate | novi
[08:55] <gogi`> yah that's what I had to do
[08:55] <WindowSmasher> ﻿Rat409: Any tips?
[08:55] <metalforever> i cursed at myself enough times to know. I still have no idea why debian based distros dont have that package installed by default
[08:55] <Bodsda> steffen_, please watch your language
[08:55] <apinunt_> Am I the only one who receives a fail status when updating Translation-en_US packages in synaptic? If anyone is able to update them, please tell me which repository you are using.
[08:56] <steffen_> sry Bodsda
[08:56] <xbj9000> metalforever I guess they figure you have no business using that stuff if you don't know how to go get it  :p
[08:56] <metalforever> try building from source.
[08:56] <Rat409> WindowSmasher: if you're sure driver is good,check laptop switch or bios .other than that broadcom here
[08:56] <Bodsda> steffen_, thanks just keep it family friendly
[08:56] <metalforever> oh, and 64 bit versions, you install build-essential and it still doesnt work.
[08:56] <metalforever> i forget what i installed.
[08:56] <Bodsda> metalforever, thats not true re. 64 bit
[08:56] <WindowSmasher> ﻿Rat409: Negative. I'm searching for the appropriate package.
[08:57] <Bodsda> kate_mins, are you on a different machine then the one having probs?
[08:57] <metalforever> of course it is, i attempted it less than 2 weeks ago
[08:57] <Mork> Moin
[08:57] <metalforever> but my machine is self built, maybe it didnt install right.
[08:57] <Bodsda> metalforever, ive attempted it and succeeded on both 32 and 64 bit distro
[08:57] <xbj9000> metalforever maybe you need some libraries or something
[08:57] <metalforever> well, it needed some sym link package or something, i dont even remember.
[08:57] <steffen_> i was a little angry, i friend told me that it work but i mean that apple should make a better system
[08:58] <metalforever> i dont need any libraries.
[08:58] <metalforever> flash on 64 bit made me angry and i installed 32 bit.
[08:58] <xbj9000> steffen_what's the problem here?  we all know apples are lame..
[08:58] <novi> is it possible to connect to internet on ubuntu if your only possible conection is by virtual private network (VPN).....i have fresh instaled ubuntu hardy...says it has a package on itself for VPN, but ever time i want to instal the package it requires the existing connection...is there any help to this??
[08:58] <metalforever> i will try 64 bit distros in a few years when its standard.
[08:58] <Bodsda> kate_mins, you still here?
[08:58] <dacubuntu> nah apples r quite nice actually... very impressive for a first time user like me.
[08:59] <kate_mins> Bodsda: yes
[08:59] <dacubuntu> neways
[08:59] <xbj9000> hmm metalforever I'm on 64 bit with flash no problems
[08:59] <kate_mins> Bodsda: it other computer (newone)
[08:59] <S4nD3r> I have usbmount
[08:59] <metalforever> again, i probably just did something wrong.
[08:59] <S4nD3r> how to do this stick be automounted when plugge
[08:59] <metalforever> or i had a scratched disk,
[08:59] <dacubuntu> i need help enabling micboost in ubuntu... nebody know how to?
[08:59] <xbj9000> s4nd3r did you have it already before I mentioned it?
[08:59] <S4nD3r> Yes
[08:59] <S4nD3r> I told you
[08:59] <xbj9000> then I don't know
[09:00] <xbj9000> I don't think it's a big deal can't you just click on the icon when you plug it in?
[09:00] <Bodsda> kate_mins, ok, i need you to reboot, and at grub choose the line that has (recovery mode) then get to the command prompt and type      sudo rm -rf ~/.gnome && sudo rm -rf ~/.gconf        then reboot and login normally
[09:01] <gogi`> ok I have another problem trying to install this...when I type ./configure it works fine, but then I type make and it says "/bin/sh: cannot create /var/log/creative-installer.log: Permission denied"  Any ideas?
[09:01] <dacubuntu> micboost any2?
[09:01] <dacubuntu> *any1
[09:02] <gogi`> also if I type sudo make it says "make: *** [all] Error 2"
[09:02] <Bodsda> gogi`, sudo
[09:02] <metalforever> sudo
[09:02] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: On my system I right click the speaker icon, open the volume control, look at the switches tab where it shows a Mic Boost (+20db) option.
[09:02] <novi>  is it possible to connect to internet on ubuntu if your only possible conection is by virtual private network (VPN).....i have fresh instaled ubuntu hardy...says it has a package on itself for VPN, but ever time i want to instal the package it requires the existing connection to download some files, but there isnt.is there any other way to connct with a VPN ?
[09:02] <metalforever> novi, no.
[09:02] <gogi`> Bodsda, metalforever, I get that error....Error 2
[09:03] <Bodsda> gogi`, dunno what it means,,,, google it
[09:03] <novi> argh
[09:03] <gogi`> hmmm.....okay will do
[09:03] <dacubuntu> apinunt: but i dont have a switches tab
[09:04] <metalforever> novi, why dont you get on a separate machine, download the needed packages (in binary, or source, i dont care.) and try installing those packages before trying to install the package you need to install.
[09:04] <Bodsda> !aptoncd | novi
[09:04] <metalforever> or find the correct wireless drivers.
[09:05] <Bodsda> kate_mins, hows it going?
[09:05] <novi> i have no probs with drivers
[09:05] <gogi`> Oh, is there any way to set ubuntu to load directly into my user account on reboot instead of having to type in my user ID / password?
[09:06] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: I believe the boost option only shows if your audio card driver has support for it. My friends Compaq notebook does not have it either, and mic volume is very low without it.
[09:06] <backz> I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on a machine with VIA Chrome 9. I got alternate cd, but the blue-installer split window in two columns, and I can't install it
[09:06] <novi> it the packages
[09:06] <metalforever> gogi: probably but i dont remember.
[09:06] <metalforever> one moment.
[09:07] <khmer42> I have a clean Hardy install connected to the internet, what do I need to do so it can be pinged from non-local machine?
[09:07] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: His system uses a Conexant chip I believe, and that seems to be poorly supported.
[09:07] <metalforever> okay, goi, System > Administration > Login menu.  Press the security tab, there will be a checkbox that says "enable automatic login", check that.
[09:08] <metalforever> gogi*
[09:08] <gogi`> metalforever, awesome thanks so much!  I can't believe I missed that "login" thing under system lol
[09:08] <metalforever> you're welcome.
[09:09] <Maimster> I personally like the cool gdm screens.
[09:09] <giacomo_carissim> can someone help me with some alsa problems?
[09:09] <metalforever> shoot.
[09:09] <Bodsda> *bang*
[09:09] <Maimster> lol
[09:09] <giacomo_carissim> i've got these usb headphones that work with alsa.
[09:09] <metalforever> lol
[09:10] <metalforever> go on.

[09:10] <giacomo_carissim> i tried to put in /dev/dsp1
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> which used to work, but now it doesnt
[09:11] <Bodsda> kate_mins, hows it going?
[09:11] <metalforever> alright, they work with alsa, which means its not a driver problem, hm?
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> yeah
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> i hear system sounds
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> and sounds from pidgin
[09:11] <metalforever> Perhaps look in config for teamspeak?
[09:11] <dacubuntu> apinunt: well my mic works great on windows
[09:11] <Commie_Jebus> why wasnt the GNU kernal finnished
[09:11] <Bodsda> giacomo_carissim, got pulseaudio running?
[09:11] <Bodsda> Commie_Jebus, ask GNU
[09:11] <Flannel> Commie_Jebus: #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks
[09:11] <dacubuntu> oh well... thanks for the info... ill look into it!
[09:11] <giacomo_carissim> hold on
[09:12] <dacubuntu> appreciate it
[09:12] <giacomo_carissim> pulse audio
[09:12] <dacubuntu> yeah
[09:12] <dacubuntu> srry i thot u were speakin to me
[09:12] <metalforever> wow, you know, this channel is much larger than it was in 2006.
[09:12] <giacomo_carissim> when i go under the sound settings
[09:12] <Bodsda> giacomo_carissim, do     killall pulseaudio        then reload TS -- sound working?
[09:13] <novi> thanks bodsda and ubottu but i have no idea how this works ..im new on ubuntu

[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> okay
[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> ill try
[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> killall pulseaudio
[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> c?
[09:13] <FloodBot1> giacomo_carissim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> do i need to sudo?
[09:13] <Bodsda> giacomo_carissim, no, in a terminal
[09:13] <giacomo_carissim> says 'no process killed'
[09:13] <metalforever> novi, whats the problem
[09:14] <Bodsda> giacomo_carissim, try    killall pulse<PressTab>           where <PressTab> means press the tab button
[09:14] <giacomo_carissim> okay
[09:14] <giacomo_carissim> nothing changes
[09:14] <giacomo_carissim> i dont think it's running
[09:14] <kelvin911> can ubuntu 32bit installed on amd64 system?
[09:14] <Flannel> kelvin911: Yep
[09:15] <metalforever> kelvin911 : yes.
[09:15] <giacomo_carissim> but i did install esound... and then i think ts stopped working
[09:15] <giacomo_carissim> i dont need esound do i?
[09:15] <metalforever> then uninstall esound.
[09:15] <Flannel> !enter | giacomo_carissim
[09:15] <metalforever> i dont know what it is.
[09:15] <novi> i've downladed the binary packages of APTonCD...now what?  metal
[09:15] <Kiba`> hmm, i've been playing around with this framebuffer thingy now, because of my bootsplash problem. turning off the framebuffer results in those horizontal lines, so i guess that's what it did by default. turning on framebuffer using vga=*** did show the bootsplash alright in different resolutions, but it wasn't centered - sometimes wrapping around the edge of the screen, sometimes just shifted a bit to the side, depending on the chosen resultion. a
[09:15] <apinunt_> dacubuntu: Same here, the mic works in windows on my friends computer because the mic boost works in it, but the mic boost is missing in ubuntu.
[09:15] <metalforever> novi: i had no part with aptoncd. No idea. Try installing the program again
[09:16] <metalforever> tell us how it goes
[09:16] <giacomo_carissim> i'm trying to remove esound
[09:16] <giacomo_carissim> is esd also part of esound?
[09:16] <metalforever> go into synaptic and search esound.
[09:16] <metalforever> press complete removal
[09:16] <metalforever> i dont know, read the description.
[09:17] <sweetgu1> can someone explainn to me how i can create a .iso from the kernel source code?
[09:17] <Kiba`> i'm on a laptop with a widescreen display, if that is relevant
[09:17] <S4nD3r> ok
[09:17] <S4nD3r> to put in fstab
[09:17] <S4nD3r> /dev/sdb1                                  /media/pendrive  vfat         rw,user,auto,exec,utf8		 0  0

[09:17] <S4nD3r> sorry
[09:18] <Commie_Jebus> is there a GUI for TOR
[09:18] <metalforever> jesus this place needs more staff.
[09:18] <ompaul> !tor
[09:19] <Ralith> hey
[09:19] <josa> where can i get a manual of iptables ??any one knows
[09:19] <Ralith> I'm trying to get the latest official nvidia driver installed by hand
[09:19] <metalforever> ralith: synaptic?
[09:19] <Ralith> metalforever: I said by hand.
[09:19] <Ralith> i.e. download from nvidia
[09:19] <ompaul> sweetgu1, that process is a bit much I suggest you start to read the info on the linuxfromscratch.org site it is complex and check out what the debian website it is to do with the tool chain that you use which is too complex for here
[09:19] <vox> Ralith: wont build?
[09:20] <Ralith> vox: no, it builds fine
[09:20] <Ralith> let me finish here
[09:20] <vox> heh
[09:20] <Ralith> all goes well up to the end, where the kernel module fails to load because the video card's address is mapped above the 4GB range, which is apparently unsupported despite this being the 64 bit driver
[09:20] <Ralith> how do I force it to get mapped in under 4GB?
[09:20] <vox> ah. that im not sure about
[09:20] <sweetgu1> ompaul: thanks. have do you think you could help me defining the width of *window widget to full screen?
[09:21] <sweetgu1> ompaul: GtkWidget *window
[09:21] <Ralith> vox: I can pastebin the exact errors; they're amazingly human readable
[09:21] <ompaul> sweetgu1, no
[09:21] <Ralith> http://codepad.org/kGGLgzkD
[09:22] <metalforever> zhave a nice night all
[09:23] <metalforever> this place gives me a bit of a headache
[09:23] <Eleaf> night, thanks
[09:23] <vox> Ralith: what card?
[09:24] <Ralith> vox: geforce 9600
[09:24] <Ralith> vox: which is why I'm forced to do the manual install; ubuntu drivers don't do >8k series yet, apparently
[09:24] <C00l_two> hye guyz, need some advise
[09:24] <C00l_two> can anybody tell me how I can split a large movie file into two
[09:25] <giacomo_carissim> what if i uninstalled pulseaudio?  would that allow teamspeak to run through my alsa headphones?
[09:25] <vox> Ralith: 9600 or 9600gt?
[09:26] <frame06_>  smuanya !
[09:27] <C00l_two> well anybody ?
[09:27] <vox> Ralith: and which nvidia driver version
[09:27] <Hondo_Kitsune> Ok, i am at a bit of a loss here. How do you sync your contacts between Kopete and Kontact?
[09:28] <Ralith> vox: one sec
[09:28] <jpds> Hondo_Kitsune: You may wish to try asking that in #kubuntu - more KDE people there.
[09:28] <Ralith> vox: driver version 173.14.09
[09:28] <Hondo_Kitsune> jpds: I did, no responce
[09:29] <Ralith> vox: er, had it slightly wrong earlier; card is a 9500 GS
[09:29] <giacomo_carissim> can anyone help me get teamspeak to work with alsa?
[09:29] <Ralith> mobile version, btw, but that shouldn't matter
[09:29] <vox> Ralith: the GS isnt supported yet
[09:29] <vox> Ralith: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html
[09:29] <Ralith> vox: wait what
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: GeForce 9500M GS
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: that looks supported to me
[09:30] <vox> ah
[09:30] <vox> that's supported
[09:30] <Ralith> vox: yes exactly
[09:30] <Ralith> the problem isn't that it's unsupportd
[09:30] <Ralith> the problem is that it's mapped way out ther ein the memory range
[09:31] <S4nD3r> how to mount a device in fstab as user, and get to umount, write ??
[09:31] <Commie_Jebus> how do i make Xchat use tor
[09:32] <Ralith> minus kudos to nvidia for being so incompetent at 64 bit code that it can't get outside 2^32 in terms of memory areas
[09:32] <ompaul> !tor | Commie_Jebus you won't get in here with it - it is barred
[09:32] <BoltClock> !vm > BoltClock
[09:32] <vox> Ralith: does your bios let you change where the card gets its memmory allocation from?
[09:32] <Ralith> Commie_Jebus: run 'torify <program you want to use tor>
[09:32] <BoltClock> !vmware > BoltClock
[09:32] <Commie_Jebus> thanks
[09:33] <Ralith> vox: I don't know, but can check; what sort of options should I be expecting? Manual range specification, or autoselection provider, or what?
[09:33] <vox> Ralith: to be honest im not sure, but most built-in gfx cards have options as to what section of memmory they should map to in bios
[09:34] <Ralith> vox: alright, I'll look for that; thanks.

[09:54] <|Infrared> olol
[09:54] <BoltClock> lol
[09:56] <dr_Willis> Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. :)

[09:57] <dr_Willis> BoltClock,  not too bad a site. :)
[09:58] <|Matt> ompaul why don't you just stay op? :o
[09:58] <dr_Willis> zerio511,  You may want to clarify what issues you are having and what have you done so far?
[09:58] <v3trae> I need to mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/data on boot. Throwing it in my sessions didn't help because it requires root access. I've already thrown it in my fstab and that didn't help either. Any ideas on how i can get the mount to run at startup since i need root permissions to do so and you can't do that through sessions?
[09:58] <ompaul> |Matt, because it is suggested by freenode that you don't
[09:59] <dr_Willis> Ninja Ops!
[09:59] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  put a proper entry in the fstab - is the correct way to do it.
[09:59] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  what filesystem is the device?
[10:00] <billli> hi, ich have an HP/YUAN tv expresscard, which ist said to be ready for winVista but i have no idea to use it on linux

[10:03] <|Darren> where can I install unbuntu?
[10:03] <bardyr> hey, how can i define a cmd to a shortcut_
[10:03] <bardyr> ?

[10:04] <|Matt> !torrents
[10:04]  * |Matt thinks he has a Ubuntu CD somewhere
[10:04] <|Infrared> I have actually never heard of ubuntu
[10:05] <nirvine> I need a hand with keyboard shortcuts.  Anyone got a sec?
[10:05] <ompaul> !ubuntu | |Infrared
[10:05] <kaushal_> hello all
[10:05] <baconbits> infrared: sure
[10:05] <ompaul> nirvine, System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:05] <|Infrared> What baconbits?
[10:06] <ompaul> !offtopic
[10:06] <baconbits> infrared: woops wrong person :)
[10:07] <nirvine> ompaul, thanks.  It's a little more than that.  I've got my Win key set up as the super key (from layout options).  All shortcuts work using the win key (start terminal, e.g.), but the volume controls don't.
[10:07] <prodigel> Hi all. what syntax should I use to play a vlc stream using mplayer? using vlc the url I give is upd://@, but this doesn't work with mplayer
[10:07] <monteiro> from time to time, i stay without wireless, i don't know why, this is the error i found in syslog: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x82000008. / iwl3945: Can't stop Rx DMA.
[10:08] <ompaul> nirvine, to see what they are producing check out xev in a terminal
[10:08] <nirvine> Volume controls do work when assigned to a simpler shortcut like F7, e.g.
[10:09] <v3trae> dr_Willis: sorry man, had to run out for a second, it's an NTFS partition do i need ntfs for type or ntfs-3g?
[10:09] <nirvine> It's sensing win as Super_L (I've only got one)
[10:10] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  for read/write access you want to use ntfs-3g
[10:10] <gogi> Ok I think I'm narrowing the problem down with my mouse not being detected on startup...maybe someone can shed more light on this for me....
[10:10] <zerio511> how do I install nvidia drivers?
[10:10] <v3trae> dr_Willis: well when i run mount /dev/sda1 it tells me i need root access
[10:10] <nirvine> Also, just tried Alt+<key>, and it works for volume controll.
[10:10] <gogi> My mouse is connected to the USB ports on my monitor (wireless mouse), which is in turn connected to the hard usb ports
[10:10] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  yes.. yes you do...
[10:11] <dr_Willis> v3trae,  entries in the fstab can have the 'user' option to allow users to mount them.
[10:11] <v3trae> dr_Willis: oh wow, i'm an idiot, give me a second to test it
[10:11] <dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g
[10:12] <zerio511> how do I install nvidia drivers?
[10:13] <|Infrared> !away
[10:13] <|Infrared> Oh, my bad.
[10:13] <Chewbacca_360> could i cause some trouble in here?
[10:13] <dr_Willis> zerio511,  the 'normal way' is to run that "hardware drivers" tool and let install them
[10:13] <pabl> Can I have more than one private DSA keys for OpenSSH?
[10:15] <khama> Okay am having problems installing yahoo messenger
[10:15] <v3trae> dr_Willis: gonna test this brb
[10:15] <dismal_denizen> I'm using the "intel" graphics driver on my laptop, but it's damn slow. Anything better out there?
[10:16] <|Darren> dismal_denizen : nvidia
[10:17] <dismal_denizen> ﻿|Darren: I tried grabbing nvidia-glx-new, but it didn't work.
[10:17] <gogi> Anyone know why USB devices plugged into my monitor USB hub aren't being detected automatically on startup?
[10:18] <dr_Willis> dismal_denizen,  err... you dont use nvidia drivers for an intel video card.
[10:18] <khama> can anyone help me install yahoo messenger on ubuntu linux
[10:18] <khama> pliz

[10:21] <vivek> thank you
[10:21] <gogi> No one knows about USB issues with an external USB hub?
[10:22] <dr_Willis> gogi,  ive not heard of anyone in here befor with issues
[10:23] <gogi> Oh darn...I see some forum posts about it but no solutions, heh...it's just kind of annoying that I have to replug in my usb dongle on startup to get the mouse to work
[10:23] <gogi> Although after I do that it works just fine
[10:23] <NovaAesa_> does anyone know how to install a .ttf font on ubuntu?

[10:34] <fma243> how do i do that
[10:34] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  edit /etc/rc.local and put the command befor the 'exit' command.
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> edit it as root with sudo of course.
[10:35] <fma243> i remember that when i was using ubuntu 6.04 or something i just downloaded a plugin and it worked
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> OR to auto load the module a different way.. lets see
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> !autoload
[10:35] <Dr_willis_> !modules
[10:35] <trojan> !zalupa
[10:35] <Flynsarmy> I'm afraid to do anything in rhythmbox cause i don't want my current playlist destroyed and i have no idea how to save it

[10:49] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  'sudo nano /etc/modules'  is   the whole command.
[10:49] <fma243> i am editing rc.local atm
[10:49] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, what is TBH ? What is the feature of swtching the sound output is called, so I would have an idea what to google for?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> tbh == to be honest
[10:50] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  editing of /etc/modules may be easier and more proper.. but do what you want.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Gpalco: search for ﻿SAMSUNG R40 ubuntu
[10:50] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  either one will work
[10:51] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, raheem ! Thank you!
[10:51] <lapisdecor> is there a voice and video plugin for pidgin?
[10:51] <Jahromeo> if i run adept_manager from the kmenu - it just shows hourglass and doesnt loads - just dissapears off taskbar - if i load it from konsole via adept_manager string - it opens - what gives?
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Gpalco: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/102968
[10:51] <BoltClock> is there a really straightforward way of installing ubuntu/xubuntu on my thumbdrive? i dont understand where to start or which parts of the wiki article applies to hardy, etc
[10:52] <Dr_willis_> BoltClock,  that pendrivelinux.com site has tutorials on it I belive.
[10:52] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, raheem ! switching the did help! Very unexpected
[10:52] <jessica> im having a problem with my hardy system, i have a inbult rtl8187b and when i try and connect to the network my entier system freeze's and will not return
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/12/usb-ubuntu-tutorial-for-linux-users/
[10:52] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip, raheem ! I mean it used to be automatic
[10:52] <incorrect> does anyone know where i can get svn 1.5 in a package?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Gpalco: i never upgrade, I always do clean install. less heartache
[10:53] <raheem> :)
[10:53] <BoltClock> ActionParsnip: this seems to be for edgy. not sure if it applies to hardy :/
[10:53] <BoltClock> i am here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/21/usb-xubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock pendrivelinux.com
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock persistent mode is only for the changes to a live cd session
[10:54] <eth01> it's 1234 now i've joined.
[10:54] <lapisdecor> what is the closer flash production tool for linux?
[10:54]  * eth01 makes everything special ;)
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: the settining up of the boot on usb is the same, then you can give it any distro you want, just because it says edgy doesnt mean it wont work cos it doesnt say @hardy@
[10:54] <BoltClock> Jack_Sparrow: so it doesnt matter in my case of installing into a thumb drive?
[10:54] <anywares> i've got an open source project and need somewhere to host a large 200-300mb file, suggestions?
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: here: http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/03/07/install-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-from-usb/
[10:54] <eth01> anywares: what's the project? (i might be able to help you)
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock yes, they are entirely different.  persistent mode is not installing ubuntu to a pen drive
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: its a media like a hard drive or a cd drive
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: linux sees them as the same thing, a folder
[10:55] <BoltClock> so installing onto my pen drive is like installing onto my pc?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: yes
[10:55] <BoltClock> ohhh
[10:55] <jessica> i think i might have fixed my problem i will come back if it return's
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: just needs some work and delays cos USB ports take ages to come up
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: like a few seconds
[10:56] <BoltClock> ActionParsnip: the articles all apply to any release and any derivative right?
[10:56] <Dr_willis_> there can be some issues installing into a usb device - a lot depends on the pc doing the booting.
[10:56] <anywares> eth0 it's probably going to be called anywares. it a derivative distribution based on ubuntu hardy although technically it isn't really modified. it just contains a few scripts and configuration changes to suit a partuclar audiance. in this case it is a project that aims to make setting up a virtual environment easy for pc techs to use their tools on multiple computers seamlessly.
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: its not hard at all, make a copy to another drive too then you can simply clone them when it wears out (they only have so many read / writes in them)
[10:57] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock three different things here.. one is installing from cd onto a pen drive, two is copying the live cd to a pen drive so you can use it like a live cd to install on a pc with no cd and the third is persistent mode which lets you save changes yyou make during a live session
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> BoltClock: exactly, theres minor differences between but its essentailly debian
[10:57] <fma243> in the /etc/modules i should only type snd-sb16
[10:57] <fma243> or something else
[10:57] <BoltClock> Jack_Sparrow: mine's the first case. should be pretty straightforward then...
[10:57] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  just the name of the module. so 'snd-sb16'
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> fma243: sounds ok to me, if it fails just remove it again
[10:58] <eth01> anywares: so you need a base to push out some files then?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> fma243: try stuff man, its how you'll learn
[10:58] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock the problem.. will be where you write the mbr and how your system will react when it is removed.
[10:58] <Riz2> Hello
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> !hi | Riz2
[10:58] <BoltClock> Jack_Sparrow: now that is something i dont understand. ive never dealt with anything about the mbr
[10:58] <anywares> anywares i need a base to make it possible for others to do some alpha testing at least for the moment
[10:59] <anywares> eth01
[10:59] <eth01> anywares: ok
[10:59] <Jack_Sparrow> BoltClock why are you trying to do this.. it sounds cool but can be a pain
[11:00] <fma243> thanks guys
[11:00] <fma243> it should work now
[11:00] <fma243> (i hope)
[11:00] <eth01> anywares: email me.
[11:00] <raheem> fma243: hope for the best :)

[11:01] <Riz2> raheem : new bie ere ... how ru dng
[11:01] <raheem> Riz2: fine .. welcome aboard
[11:02] <Riz2> raheem, thanks bud
[11:02] <Riz2> raheem,  can u help me in mainting dual OS
[11:02] <Riz2> as i want to keep my ubuntu along with XP
[11:02] <raheem> sure, if i can, ready to help
[11:02] <raheem> that's no problem.. but in that case, the easiest thing would be install xp first, then ubuntu
[11:02] <Riz2> raheem, ahan
[11:02] <Riz2> raheem,  oh i meant ok :)
[11:03] <JebJoya4> Hey, I'm having trouble getting a wireless card working on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 (it did work on an old 7.04 install iirc).  I've put in the essid and password but to no avail - could anyone help me with diagnosing and solving the problem?
[11:03] <Riz2> raheem,  so u recommend me to install XP first
[11:03] <raheem> yes .. always install MS products first :)
[11:03] <lars_bauer> howto install py2exe ?
[11:03] <raheem> if possible on C drive ;)
[11:03] <Riz2> raheem,  whr r u frm
[11:03] <raheem> Saudi Arabia
[11:03] <Riz2> raheem,  : aww fine
[11:04] <Riz2> i`ll try proceeding in tht manner
[11:04] <Riz2> :D
[11:04] <Riz2> i hope i`ll work
[11:04] <raheem> it works well .. don't worry ;)
[11:04] <Riz2> raheem,  i had a bad experience wid ubuntu before like an yr ago
[11:04] <raheem> i do have it installed on my pc .. & have done it many times
[11:04] <Riz2> i lost all my data
[11:05] <raheem> Riz2: the data loss is due the selection u make in the third step, i guess
[11:05] <raheem> when it ask for partitioning .. u might have slected to take over the entire disk
[11:05] <Dr_willis_> windows keeps asking if i want to format my linux partitions.. :) heh
[11:05] <raheem> that's the mistake ppl do normally
[11:05] <Riz2> raheem,  it must be due to tht if i proceeded to installation .. actually i was just playing wid LIVE CD :P
[11:05] <raheem> Dr_willis: lol
[11:05] <aGniBiNa> I'm FeelinG BeTTeR T0 Be HerE :-)
[11:06] <Gpalco> ActionParsnip ! I agree upgrading is no good. gksu doesn't work for me since upgrade either. but version to version compatibility is way better with ubuntu thaen with windows. Though I still desperetly want to do a fresh install. Do you know how to great a HOME partition so everything stays in homefolder after reinstall? Is it hard?
[11:06] <raheem> Riz2: if you have winxp isntalled, & you have another partition to spare .. then there shouldn't be any issues at all
[11:07] <Dr_willis_> Riz2,  i always resize the partitions and leave a section 'unallocated' then i tell the installer to use the unallocated space. :) i find that the safest way
[11:07] <Riz2> raheem,  can i used already formatted partition ??? i heard linux dont show windows formatted partitions
[11:07] <aorkwa> Hello #ubuntu. I can't seem to install any packages at all and am getting this error message if I try to do anything with apt-get:

[11:42] <IndyGunFreak> racarter: *wha tdo you use iTunes for..*.. i thought it as clear.
[11:42] <ShishKabab> sandman: I'm not familar with compiz fusion, but if you want to get a useful response, you need to be more specific
[11:43] <racarter> huh, i use it for listening to music?
[11:43] <racarter> and connecting to ipod/iphone...
[11:43] <racarter> it's called banshee by the way...
[11:43] <sandman> okay..ive downloaded the compiz settings manager...but none of the effects seem to work
[11:43] <JebJoya2> hey, i've got a wireless card with the BCM4303 chipset, and have installed b43-fwcutter using apt, what do i do now to get my wireless working?
[11:43] <racarter> http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/22/banshee-freeopen-mus.html
[11:43] <sandman> i have the latest nvidia drivers installed
[11:43] <IndyGunFreak> racarter: wel, banshee doesn't let buy music online, thats why i was asking.
[11:44] <IndyGunFreak> racarter: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install banshee   (but i don't think it will manage an iphone)
[11:44] <racarter> i see
[11:44] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> quick question iv lost alll my hardware drivers on ubuntu ...
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> all of them?
[11:45] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> any1 know how to get em back ?
[11:45] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> ye
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[11:45] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> i know :P
[11:45] <Jack_Sparrow> DroP-PSyChoSiS What were you doing before this happened
[11:45] <ShishKabab> sandman: Do you know how to start compiz-fusion from the command line?
[11:46] <JebJoya2> ﻿hey, i've got a wireless card with the BCM4303 chipset, and have installed b43-fwcutter using apt, what do i do now to get my wireless working? (Also, when i did apt-get b43-fwcutter, it asked me if I wanted it to download the drivers and things and I said yes, so it at least appears that in /lib/firmware/b43 i have all the *.fw files)
[11:46] <racarter> banshee seems useless then... rhythmbox let's you do all the same stuff, no?
[11:46] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> trying to install new drivers then i said remove the drivers i had jst installed and it removed everything
[11:46] <sandman> yeah i typed compiz...but it aborts after the foll output: aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[11:46] <DroP-PSyChoSiS> so im pretty fucked

[11:50] <kred> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> kred Please try the repos or find a deb first
[11:51] <kred> i will check them out
[11:51] <kred> its not
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm > sandman
[11:51] <racarter> the bad thing about rotating cube is that you cannot rotate up and down
[11:51] <racarter> can you?
[11:51] <kred> Jack_Sparrow, its somthing only realeased as tar.gz
[11:51] <Bodsda> kred, what is it?
[11:51] <racarter> when I do ctrl+alt+up i get the stretched out view
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> racarter You cant have desktops on top and bottom .. no
[11:52] <racarter> or ctrl+alt+down rather
[11:52] <kred> Bodsda, arpstar
[11:52] <Bodsda> racarter, cube discussion is not really on topic for this channel -- #compiz-fusion is better suited for it
[11:52] <racarter> ok, i don't want to discuss that though
[11:52] <racarter> i want to discuss quicksilver
[11:52] <DRebellion> racarter, why would you want to rotate down? When you got to the other side, the desktop would be upside-down!
[11:52] <sandman> i have compizconfig settings manager installed..but none of the effects are visible
[11:52] <Buyydee> Hello, I can't seem to find the menu where you can put in programmes that are to be started on login. Can you help me out please?
[11:52] <lok`> hello there, is there a way to store the messages left in the "leave message" lock dialog, instead of only having them notified?
[11:52] <racarter> haha, good point DRebellion
[11:52] <sandman> ive got the latest nvidia drivers installed
[11:53] <racarter> quicksilver?
[11:53] <racarter> i hate keyboard shortcuts and linux seems to have poor support for it anyway
[11:53] <DRebellion> Buyydee, System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[11:53] <Bodsda> DRebellion, good point!!
[11:53] <racarter> but i like typing in words and opening a program
[11:53] <racarter> that's why i like quicksilver..

[11:53] <racarter> spotlight on mac is good too but it's kind of shaky sometimes
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> sandman you may also not have your video card setup correctly which will keep effects from working
[11:54] <racarter> google desktop seems to be more focused on finding files and web sites...
[11:54] <racarter> i am having a conversation with myself i think
[11:54] <danbee> hi guys, i dropped some new fonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype, gave them the right permission and... they don't seem to appear in openoffice. am i missing something obvious?
[11:54] <Almindor> what's "support for input of complex symbols" in language settings??
[11:54] <Bodsda> racarter, please try and keep ontopic, Ubuntu support is what this channel is for
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> racarter Yes, you are.. and an offtopic one at that
[11:55] <Bodsda> Almindor, foreign letters, symbols, ascii charcters
[11:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !fonts
[11:55] <racarter> so where is the place to ask for quicksilver type apps?
[11:55] <Almindor> Bodsda, in what? tty, vty or apps?
[11:55] <danbee> racarter, try gnome do
[11:55] <racarter> k
[11:55] <Buyydee> Since I'm already here and you're talking about search engines: I don't completely understand which folders (or even document contents?) are searched when I click 'search' from the main menu or inside a folder - is there a website where I could find some info on that searching tool?
[11:55] <Bodsda> Almindor, im not sure, certainly in apps i would have thought
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> racarter What is quicksilver, you are using the name of a mac app in a room for linux users
[11:56] <dr_Willis> racarter,  google. :) since most of us have no idewa what quicksilver is.
[11:56] <Almindor> Bodsda, any downside to enabling it?
[11:56] <dr_Willis> racarter,  or describe what it does.
[11:56] <Almindor> Bodsda, not that I see any problem with my localized input but am curious
[11:56] <Bodsda> Buyydee, i find that search thing to be 'not very good' try a 'locate' command in the terminal   eg    locate firefox
[11:56] <danbee> racarter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo
[11:56] <Bodsda> Almindor, down side, you may see some strange symbols, but its unlikely
[11:57] <Almindor> hehe ok :)
[11:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint > trask
[11:57] <Buyydee> Bodsda: Well, that's not the way I liked to put it, but actually... yes. I just thought I was too dumb to use it somehow
[11:57] <Bodsda> Buyydee, no, it is in a technical term 'crap'

[11:59] <Bodsda> sandman, have you enabled 'extra' graphics in -- System--> Preferences--> Appearence --> Visual effects tab
[11:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sandman and that app changed your video configuration whic compiz requires in order to operate

[12:00] <v3trae> my keyboard volume buttons aren't actually changing the master volume, is there a way to specify what the volume buttons actually effect?
[12:00] <bsusa> i need a little help with this issue please. When i run this game using Wine, it loads up nice but i have a white square cursor instead of a mouse and also all the sprites a not in the correct place or missing. Any have any suggestions please?

[12:00] <ShishKabab> Which package do I need to use VirtualBox?
[12:01] <_stefanos_> hello everyone. i just downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 DVD edition from http://nginyang.uvt.nl/hardy/ and I haven't seen any GUI option for server installation. Is it available on this DVD? is there any way to check?
[12:01] <dr_Willis> bsusa,  check that database for the specific game and any fix;s they may have
[12:01] <_stefanos_> jesus what's happening to keyboard
[12:01] <Bodsda> ShishKabab, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[12:01] <Nimblefinger> I have managed to connect to a wireless network with ubuntu server using a belkin usb wireless adapter (at least in iwconfig it had the ESSID correct and an access point given), but I can't repeat this now...what should I be doing to try to connect again?
[12:01] <danbee> ShishKabab: theres a .deb download at the virtualbox.org site that you can use to install
[12:01] <dr_Willis> _stefanos_,  it may of been on the initial grub menu.  often that 'select language' box pops up so fast - it hides the other options of grub (below it)
[12:01] <ost2life> okay. here goes.
[12:01] <ost2life> I was in my very finite wisdom installing OpenSUSE by formatting my sda, so far so good. however I seem to have flagged sdb1 and sdc5 as lvm volumes even though their ext3 and I can't figure out how to rescue them
[12:01] <ShishKabab> Thank you very much!
[12:01] <v3trae> Bodsda: that's making the volume bar (on the window that pops up) go up and down but not the actual master volume. =(
[12:02] <dr_Willis> _stefanos_,  hit 'escape' when ya see the language selection and see if its in the grub menus.
[12:02] <_stefanos_> dr_Willis thank you :)
[12:02] <ost2life> (oh by the way, I didn't like it so I came back to ubuntu)
[12:02] <_stefanos_> it sure does pop up that thing :DDD
[12:02] <Bodsda> v3trae, im not sure, sorry
[12:02] <dr_Willis> _stefanos_,  im not SURE its there.. but there are optuons there.. that people over look.
[12:02] <_stefanos_> ok i will reboot with the DVD to check it
[12:02] <v3trae> Bodsda: np man, thanks anyway =)
[12:02] <_stefanos_> thanks a lot mate ;)
[12:02] <danbee> ShishKabab: i'd recommend using the package from the official site as there are occasionally issues with the ubuntu repo version due to kernel updates
[12:02] <_stefanos_> see you soon. brb
[12:02] <Bodsda> danbee, please only recommend third party debs as a last resort or if theres a known problem with the files in the repositories
[12:03] <danbee> Bodsda: there is a known problem with the files in the repositories, a kernel update can break it as the vb kernel modules sometimes don't get updated at the same time
[12:03] <danbee> using the package from the vb.org site gets round that as it makes it easy to recompile the kernel modules
[12:04] <danbee> i had the problem recently on my work machine, which meant i was unable to test sites i was building in internet explorer
[12:05] <Bodsda> danbee, thats not a major problem, some users dont know how to compile software and it is potentially dangerous. and ive recently installed vbox from the repos with no fuss. if theres a kernel update, there will shortly be a vbox update
[12:06] <danbee> Bodsda: it was a major problem for me as i could no longer work!
[12:06] <danbee> and the error message tells you exactly what to do to fix it
[12:06] <Bodsda> danbee, simply switching back to the previous kernel while you downloaded the updates would have solved your dilemma
[12:07] <sotirispandis> hi all
[12:07] <Bodsda> hi
[12:07] <danbee> Bodsda: maybe, but when faced with the choice of rebooting or simply typing one fairly simply command...
[12:07] <Bodsda> danbee, its only simple for someone who knows what their doing.
[12:07] <bullgard4> GNOME Window Selector lists some programs in bold but most not. What does the bold font mean?
[12:07] <sotirispandis> i have a problem with ubuntu desktop and icon. can someone help me?
[12:08] <Bodsda> sotirispandis, ask your question
[12:08] <danbee> Bodsda, the error message that appears when the kernel modules are missing describes exactly what is required to recompile them, and it is very simple
[12:08] <fr4nk-k> !ask | sotirispandis
[12:08] <bullgard4> sotirispandis: Just ask. May be someone can help you.
[12:08] <ost2life> ok, I'm gonna try this again. I've been having random freeze problems with Hardy since it came out so yesterday in a fit of frustration I decided to wipe sda and start over with OpenSUSE. I installed it on sda and everything seemed fine (except I wasn't that keen on suse) except sdb1 and sdc1 were no longer showing up. I did a bit of poking around including running fsck just to see if that did anything and it seems I flagged the d
[12:08] <danbee> anyway, this is a silly argument, i will endeavour to recommend repositry software in future :)
[12:09] <Jack_Sparrow> ost2life what does lsb_release -a show you
[12:09] <Bodsda> danbee, thankyou
[12:09] <primski> anyone else has problems using audio devices across different programms? if im watching a movie with vlc, firefox wont have access to audio device, therefore no sound in flash movies :s
[12:09] <danbee> anyway, does anyone have any idea why fonts i've installed into /usr/share/fonts do not appear in openoffice?
[12:09] <ost2life> no lsb modules are available
[12:10] <danbee> i've tried 'sudo fc-cache -f -v' as well
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ost2life So you are not running ubuntu
[12:10] <danbee> and the permissions are the same as all the others
[12:10] <ost2life> no, I am running ubuntu

[12:11] <sotirispandis> sorry! When i boot ubuntu i can see first desktop icons (drives etc..). When i first click with my mouse everything disappear and the right click of mouse doesn't work any more (on desktop). Any other app work fine except Nautilus.
[12:12] <ost2life> point is, it's saying there's no LSB modules available, but I *am* running ubuntu
[12:12] <Bodsda> sotirispandis, launch nautilus from a terminal, can you then recreate and get error messages?
[12:12] <IndyGunFreak> ost2life: i get the same output you do.

[12:16] <Jack_Sparrow> raedwald Are you mixing ide and sata?  Are your ide jumpers set correctly
[12:17] <ncfi1013> i uninstalled compiz but i still have to run "kwin --replace & killall compiz compiz real" every time i log in or else my window borders are messed up and i have no system tray. i have deleted all compiz and emerald settings files that i could find and have set the session to load a clean session on startup but nothing seems to help
[12:17] <sotirispandis> i did that. I must reboot?
[12:17] <raedwald> not mixing, no (although the MoBo is SATA capable all drives are IDE). It's fine with 7.10 but the final release of 8.04 gives problems.
[12:17] <raedwald> says that hdc is "not ready for command", and the drive is locked
[12:17]  * jimcooncat hates jumpers, I can't hang onto 'em
[12:17] <nagyv> how to teach Firefox the default application for different media format? (lik aac, mp3, agg, I would like to open them with rhytmbox)
[12:18] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, im confused by the command your running, it should be    "killall <currentWindowManager> && compiz --replace"
[12:18] <Bruners> raedwald: are you running windows on the same computer?
[12:18] <ost2life> Jack_Sparrow: any ideas
[12:18] <raedwald> yes, and that's fine
[12:18] <_stefanos_> hello guys. i'm back. seems that the Ubuntu DVD does not have available the server on it :/
[12:18] <raedwald> dual-boot
[12:18] <Bruners> raedwald: sounds like windows may have locked your drive
[12:18] <paco> Bodsda, thanks, the problem is caused by pulseaudio
[12:18] <Bodsda> steffen_, did you download the server edition?
[12:18] <bennyf12> can anyone help me with installing a mailserver :)
[12:18] <raedwald> not in dual boot it wouldn't.
[12:18] <Bodsda> paco, sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio   should stop that from ahppening again
[12:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ost2life no idea what you did when you tried to install open suse.
[12:19] <raedwald> If I boot from an 8.04 install cd if fails because it cant see the drive. Yet 7.10 is fine
[12:19] <paco> Bodsda, thanks
[12:19] <Bodsda> paco, your welcome ;~)
[12:19] <zw1d> asd
[12:19] <zw1d> asd
[12:19] <ost2life> so there's no way to reset a partition flagged as lvm to a regular ext3 without wiping the data then?
[12:19] <zw1d> as
[12:19] <zw1d> das
[12:19] <FloodBot1> zw1d: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:20] <Bodsda> ost2life, im not sure,i doubt it as youve changed the file system
[12:20] <sotirispandis> Jack_Sparrow: i did that ! i must reboot?
[12:20] <ost2life> but as far as i can tell the data is still there because suse didn't actually format anything
[12:20] <ncfi1013> thanx bodsda
[12:20] <Bruners> sotirispandis: restarting x should be enough
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sotirispandis no.. it should have given you a link to give to us
[12:21] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, your welcome ;~)
[12:21] <raedwald> so whatever the issue is it's something in 8.04
[12:21] <Bodsda> ost2life, just backup the data and try changing it with   gparted
[12:21] <Bodsda> raedwald, actually its probably got more to do with your hardware
[12:22] <sotirispandis> Ok Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f4aa74b37
[12:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[12:22] <raedwald> how so? Especially as 7.10 was fine?
[12:22] <raedwald> and still is if I reinstall it
[12:22] <bullgard4> GNOME Window Selector lists some programs in bold but most in a normal font. What does the bold font mean?
[12:22] <Bodsda> raedwald, it could be a bad download, a bad burn, cd drive might not be ble to read it, did you check the download with md5?
[12:23] <raedwald> yes
[12:23] <Bodsda> raedwald, and you burned the iso at a slow speed?
[12:23] <raedwald> and the current install is an upgrade from 7.10
[12:23] <ncfi1013> bodsda command not found
[12:23] <Bodsda> raedwald, so whats the prob?
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> sotirispandis You said you are running 7.10 but all your repos show Hardy
[12:23] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, which command?
[12:24] <ncfi1013> the one you told me about i guess
[12:24] <lars_bauer> howto install py2exe ?
[12:24] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, i need to see the bash error from the terminal, everything from when you entered the command to the end
[12:24] <raedwald> under 8.08 the primary DVD drive is locked and the system thinks there's a blank disk in it (although nothing actually is). The secondary drive is free, but no disk is recognised if one is loaded
[12:25] <sotirispandis> Jack_Sparrow: I install 7.02 and i upgrade (internet) to 7.10 (automatic)
[12:25] <Bodsda> raedwald, there is no such distro 8.4 or 8.10
[12:25] <ncfi1013> ok here it is:ncfi1013@ncfi1013-desktop:~$ "killall <currentWindowManager> && compiz --replace"
[12:25] <ncfi1013> bash: killall <currentWindowManager> && compiz --replace: command not found
[12:25] <raedwald> typo's
[12:25] <raedwald> 8.04
[12:25] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, no, lol,.,. you need to replace <currentWindowManager> to whatever your current window manager is
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> sotirispandis You had feisty 7.04 and you upgraded to gutsy.. 7.10 but your repos show 8.04
...? kwin?
[12:26] <stabbyjoe12> can anyone help me with grub? im trying to save the menu list thign  but i dont have permission any ideas how to fix that?
[12:26] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, if thats what your using, then yes
[12:26] <sotirispandis> Jack_Sparrow: Jack_Sparrow: So?
[12:26] <koshari> stabbyjoe12: use sudo
[12:27] <Bodsda> stabbyjoe12, you need to open the file with   gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:27] <stabbyjoe12> :/ im using a text editor so i dunno how to sudo in there?
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> stabbyjoe12 gksudo gedit then you will be able to save the file
[12:27] <raedwald> so as it stands at the moment, the only way I can get a fully workable system is to downgrade to 7.10
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> stabbyjoe12 Open a terminal and type               gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:28] <InsomniaCity`> Is a launchpad bug the correct place for an enhancement suggestion?
[12:28] <stabbyjoe12> fixed it cheers :)

[12:28] <perlsyntax> how do i get mplayer to work?
[12:28] <Bodsda> InsomniaCity`, try the idea pool on Ubuntu Forums
[12:28] <ash7> Just borrowed a creative zen media player from my friend and i am not able to see it as a media device when plugged into USB. I can see it in lsusb ?
[12:28] <koshari> perlsyntax mplayer filename
[12:28] <Bodsda> perlsyntax, first you work out whats wrong with it
[12:28] <InsomniaCity`> Bodsda: okies
[12:28] <dr_Willis> perlsyntax,  install it , run it?
[12:29] <ash7> how can i mount it to access the data

[12:31] <Ziroday> How would I convert a .avi to a .wmv at 320x240 resolution?
[12:31] <Bodsda> raedwald, google?
[12:31] <Bodsda> !ffmpeg
[12:31] <raedwald> tried that

[12:31] <Bodsda> not funny rausb0 ;~)
[12:32] <koshari> Ziroday: i guess you could do it with avidemux but why would you want to?
[12:32]  * dr_Willis agrees with koshari

[12:32] <Bodsda> ash7, not sure then, sorry
[12:33] <raedwald> Bodsda: the only box out of 6 that has this problem has an ALi M1689 chipset
[12:33] <ash7> Bodsda: ok
[12:33] <Ziroday> koshari: to play it on my creative
[12:33] <Bodsda> raedwald, ive already said i dont know how to fix your problem, please address the channel
[12:33] <koshari> Ziroday does your creative not play any other format?
[12:33] <Bodsda> Ziroday, ffmpeg should be able to do the conversion
[12:33] <Ziroday> koshari: I wish
[12:34] <raedwald> any help from any source appreciated
[12:34] <sotirispandis> Jack_Sparrow: it will need i lot of time. i have 256 connection! Can i do anything until then?
[12:34] <Ziroday> Bodsda: okay, but avidemux looks easier :()
[12:35] <Bodsda> Ziroday, probably, ffmpeg is a bit weird
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> sotirispandis You need to let it finish , but you can chat and browse.. I will just slow the process down a bit
[12:35] <Ziroday> koshari: how do you define a resolution in avidemux?
[12:36] <dr_Willis> Ziroday,  you use the resize plugins.
[12:36] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, thats mean of you
[12:36] <ncfi1013> i did it again. this time something else happened:killall kwin && compiz --replace
[12:36] <ncfi1013> The program 'compiz' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[12:36] <ncfi1013> sudo apt-get install compiz-core
[12:36] <ncfi1013> bash: compiz: command not found
[12:36] <FloodBot1> ncfi1013: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:36] <Ziroday> dr_Willis: thanks
[12:36] <incorrect> i have a load of servers, i would like them to email me when there are update to install
[12:36] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, so do what it says
[12:36] <incorrect> is there a tool to do this for me
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda Mean in what way, he has limited bandwidth.  he needs to get his release/upgrade straightened out before he does much else
[12:37] <Ziroday> dr_Willis: and where would the resize plugins be located?
[12:37] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, no you misunderstand -- "you can chat and browse.. I will just slow the process down a bit" theres a missing 't'
[12:37] <sotirispandis> Jack_Sparrow: do you have any suggestions until then. (Note that a didn't had this problem from the beginning. It just happened before 1 Hour).
[12:38] <dr_Willis> Ziroday,  time to check the programs docs/manuals/tutorials.  Its not hard to use. :)  just a little different then most apps.
[12:38] <Ziroday> dr_Willis: nevermind found it
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda Ah.. Ok. if you think the bot hated you before.. Wait until I make a few adjustments

[12:43] <crm> can anyone recommend a partition for a 650G hdd? (4G mem)
[12:44] <dr_Willis> crm,  Clarify that a bit?
[12:44] <Bodsda> crm, a root partition is always handy
[12:44] <ncfi1013> i cant do anything it stopped here: Checking for Xgl: not present.
[12:44] <beastax> Bodsda, i have a home built pc, i want to up the speed of the chassis fans if at all possible
[12:44] <dr_Willis> crm,  you want suggestions as to a partition LAYOUT for such a machine?
[12:44] <beastax> it is running a little hot
[12:44] <_stefanos_> Ubuntu is amazing for end-users and not only. but imagine if they ask so many questions that they are really easy to answer [because ubuntu has many many docs and manuals]
[12:44] <Bodsda> beastax, i dont know, but googling would help
[12:45] <crm> dr_Willis, well, i have read that the swap should easily be 2xmem size.. then i would like a partition for storage .. accessible by windows and linux
[12:45] <beastax> Bodsda, i have done
[12:45] <beastax> general rule for me - search google, search forums, then ask here
[12:45] <beastax> i ask in here because someone might have done it before
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> beastax What kind of grease did you use on the cpu white or slver?
[12:45] <crm> dr_Willis, so.. other than /home .. are there any other linux drive partitions i should consider?
[12:46] <dr_Willis> crm, swap only needs to be 2x mem if you are going to use hibernate/suspend.
[12:46] <Bodsda> beastax, hmm,.,. maybe someone should host a 'how to google course'
[12:46] <beastax> Jack_Sparrow, lol it was a gunky grey colour
[12:46] <dr_Willis> crm,  i just use / /home and swap normally
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> beastax /join #Jack_Sparrow   as this is offtopic in here
[12:46] <beastax> Bodsda, no need to be sarcy
[12:46] <Bodsda> beastax, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed
[12:46] <gooody> microphone don't work in ubuntu hardy. any help?
[12:46] <dr_Willis> crm,  most people dont gain much by being more complex.
[12:46] <crm> dr_Willis, sounds good
[12:46] <NinjaBuntu> I jsut downloaded a .Package formated file to install Cystal Core. How would i go about installing it?
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda Getting a good answer from google is not as easy as most people think..
[12:47] <crm> dr_Willis.. also, what format for the storage area to be available to windows/linux... ntfs/ext3(2)/fat32?
[12:47] <dr_Willis> NinjaBuntu,  a .package is normally an 'auto package' file - google for  the 'autopackage' web site and read their directions
[12:47] <beastax> Bodsda, am i wrong in thinking that is for controlling the cpu fan of an ibm notebook?
[12:47] <beastax> not a home built pc chassis fan...
[12:47] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, i know, i think a course would be very usefull (not patronising) there is a factoid about it i believe
[12:47] <dr_Willis> crm,  windows can read/write ext2/3 now. :) not that safe.. but it can be done.
[12:47] <ncfi1013> what is the command again
[12:47] <radovan> crm: fat32 isn't good choise because of disk size
[12:47] <NinjaBuntu> dr_Willis: Thank you...
[12:48] <Bodsda> beastax, its for controlling fan speed, i dont know your particular make or model so i cant narrow it down
[12:48] <dr_Willis> crm,  and linux can handle ntfs decently well now a days
[12:48] <crm> dr_Willis, so you're saying ext3 or ntfs?
[12:48] <ncfi1013> to install compiz
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda I agree, good questions and proper search questions make for better answers
[12:48] <Administrator_> nice
[12:48] <beastax> its a gigabyte case, with a 120mm input fan on front and output on back
[12:48] <littlekiss> test
[12:49] <dr_Willis> crm,  basically. :) since you dotn want fat32... thats all thats left.
[12:49] <crm> dr_Willis, which one do you recommend?
[12:49] <Bodsda> ext3
[12:49] <dr_Willis> crm,  depends on your needs. and which os you will be usiong most
[12:49] <crm> Bodsda, yes, that sounds safest
[12:49] <dr_Willis> beastax,  2 120 mm fans and its running hot?
[12:49] <mad_max02> anyone got gdesklets working in 64bit hardy ????
[12:50] <ncfi1013> what is the command again to install compiz
[12:50] <rausb0> beastax: board manufacturers rarely give specs for fan control and such to linux developers. there is not even a standard to control the fan or to measure board temperature, it totally depends on the board type. boards should really do fan control in hardware. if they rely in the OS to do that, they are broken by design.
[12:50] <Bodsda> crm, however windows has difficulty reading it, you need a program to view files from windows
[12:50] <littlekiss> real ,i don't notice that
[12:50] <mad_max02> ncfi1013, sudo apt-get install compiz
[12:50] <crm> Bodsda, isn't that just a driver?
[12:50] <beastax> rausb0, thanks
[12:50] <gooody> ﻿ncfi1013: you can install compiz through synaptic package manager
[12:50] <beastax> probably best looking in the bios
[12:50] <crm> Bodsda, if i can't access the files through windows explorer. then ntfs is the better option for me
[12:50] <Bodsda> crm, no windows needs a full blown ext2 fs software
[12:50] <beastax> dr_Willis, well, sinc emoving to ubuntu i cant monitor temperature from within the os
[12:51] <Bodsda> crm, ntfs is better if your just storing data and you need to access file sfrom windows and ubuntu
[12:51] <dr_Willis> beastax,  lm-sensors can monitor temps.
[12:51] <murlidhar> i have installed a new AGP graphics card ( nvidia fx5500)  i am  not able to boot the monitor. how to check if my AGP slot is working?
[12:51] <beastax> dr_Willis, yeah, it only sees my nvidia card temp
[12:51] <crm> Bodsda, yea, ntfs is sounding like the better option.. it will be a shared media/file drive
[12:52] <Bodsda> crm, its not often i say ntfs is better suited but for your needs, it is
[12:52] <dr_Willis> !ifs
[12:52] <dr_Willis> !ext3
[12:52] <ncfi1013> its installed now how do i get my window borders back
[12:52] <dr_Willis> I keep my data on a ext3 :) and ise that fs-driver tool.
[12:52] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, whats installed?
[12:52] <SliMM> hello
[12:52] <crm> another question.. should i install the 64bit release (hardy) or the 32 bit?
[12:52] <ncfi1013> compiz
[12:52] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, the ext2 viewer program?
[12:53] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, compiz --replace&
[12:53] <SliMM> i have a problem with my bluetooth mobile phone and obexftp
[12:53] <PolitikerNEU> If you got >= 3,5 GB Ram: 64bit release, else 32bit
[12:53] <crm> PolitikerNEU, 4G
[12:53] <Bodsda> PolitikerNEU, thats not a good formula
[12:53] <dr_Willis> Bodsda,  i use that fs-driver.org tool
[12:53] <_stefanos_> dr_Willis, seems that the DVD edition does not include server option :/
[12:53] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, cant remember my one, i was just amazed windows couldnt read ext
[12:53] <SliMM> whenever i try to copy something to my phone, I get operation not permitted
[12:54] <Bodsda> crm, do you have a 64bit processor?
[12:54] <Bodsda> SliMM, sudo
[12:54] <crm> Bodsda, intel quad 6600
[12:54] <dr_Willis> Bodsda,  some times windows gets confused and askes to format my ext3... :(
[12:54] <PolitikerNEU> Why? If you got more than 4G ram, you have to enable some extensions to make it work - but generally, 32bit works better than 64bit
[12:54] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, oh dear ;~)
[12:54] <Bodsda> crm, is that a yes
[12:54] <ncfi1013> do i type the ampersand after the word replace? is that symbol in the command?
[12:54] <crm> Bodsda, yes
[12:55] <onisciente> Do you know how i can add windows fonts to my Ubuntu?
[12:55] <Bodsda> PolitikerNEU, ok, how about this i have 4gig of ram and will be doing extensive media / graphics work, thats all the info i give u what distro should i use?
[12:55] <Bodsda> !msttcf
[12:55] <beastax> onisciente, do you know why you would add windows fonts to your ubuntu?
[12:55] <Bodsda> !fonts | onisciente
[12:56] <crm> Bodsda, on that note, i want to use the PC as a Media centre.. mainly gaming
[12:56] <Bodsda> crm, gaming on linux, not likely
[12:56] <onisciente> beastax: because i did not find some fonts i like
[12:56] <dr_Willis> Bodsda,  i spend many an hr playing FreeCiv :)
[12:56] <gooody> i have a microphone but can't record audio through it. it works well in gutsy but can't make it work in hardy. any help?
[12:56] <littlekiss> i think windows has many fonts you can use
[12:56] <crm> Bodsda, quake 4 works.. right??
[12:57] <aira> job
[12:57] <aira> job
[12:57] <Bodsda> crm, unless theres major reason an app takes 3gig of ram and you really want to then go ahead, but 32bit is less hassle and you prob wont have any lack of ram probs
[12:57] <SliMM> oh, actually it's "Operation not supported by backend"; is there something else I need to install?
[12:57] <Bodsda> crm, no idea
[12:57] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, not serious gaming though
[12:57] <crm> Bodsda, why not?
[12:57] <Bodsda> crm, why not what?
[12:58] <crm> Bodsda, why no serious gaming on linux?
[12:58] <Bodsda> crm, because games arent really commercially developed for linux, and although the compatibility layers like wine and cedega are good, they dont meet par with windows on the gaming front
[12:58] <dr_Willis> Bodsda,  'serious gaming' -> isent that a bit of an oxymoron. :) like.. 'extreme yoga'
[12:59] <dr_Willis> 'serious drinking' = alcholic
[12:59] <crm> dr_Willis, try to get with the program
[12:59] <dr_Willis> crm,  :)
[12:59] <dr_Willis> crm,  i had a similer argument with the guys at work who were 'serious everquest players' :)
[12:59] <crm> so... you're saying that i shouldn't even try to use linux for gaming?
[13:00] <dr_Willis> Valve was rumored to be working on ports of  their engine to linux.. which would be cool.
[13:00] <Bodsda> crm, oh no, do try and game, just dont get your hopes up with some of the newer games
[13:00] <dr_Willis> Not heard much about that lately however.
[13:00] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, who the hell are valve?
[13:00] <dr_Willis> Bodsda,  Hmm..  the makers of Halflife.
[13:00] <XGas> Postal 3 uses Source engine, and it will be available on Linux
[13:00] <Bodsda> dr_Willis, meh, zombie games dont interest me
[13:00] <BlackRece> hello ppl
[13:01] <Ziroday> Bodsda: they run the entire steam thingy
[13:01] <XGas> so yeah, it might get ported
[13:01] <Bodsda> cool
[13:01] <Ziroday> XGas: says who?
[13:01] <dr_Willis> XGas,  cool. first ive heard of that.
[13:01] <Bodsda> who guys, gettin OT now
[13:01] <XGas> Says Google

[13:02] <ackbahr> Hi! is there a way to force Ubunut to have normal users and one superuser who can sudo?
[13:02] <crm> hrm.. now im concerned
[13:02] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, their all listed on the site i believe
[13:02] <dr_Willis> Vixus,  i normally follow the guide at --> http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands
[13:02] <_stefanos_> no they are not :/
[13:02] <ncfi1013> i have window borders now but they arent the ones that i want but that is not a big deal. what i want to know is if i have to run either of those commands in the run command dialog box or do i just have run one of them over the other one/
[13:02] <_stefanos_> only CD
[13:02] <crm> maybe i should just fork out the $ for windows
[13:02] <NinjaBuntu> dr_Willis: that did the trick... again thank you...
[13:03] <marco> Bodsda, thank you very much, I was searching for the "/etc/rc.." ;)
[13:03] <Ziroday> marco: run it like python script.py
[13:03] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  thats how it normally works.
[13:03] <BlackRece> can someone refresh my memory as to how to set up iptables to allow internet trafic into a ubuntu box and allow my home network internet access via the ubuntu box?
[13:03] <marco> Ziroday, thank you :)
[13:03] <marco> bye ;)
[13:03] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  the first user you make is the sudo-able user. rest are normal nosudo users
[13:03] <koshari> ackbahr isnt that the default, you would have to add additional users the the sudoers list
[13:03] <SliMM> how can I make ubuntu detect and use all my 4GB of RAM?
[13:03] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors#head-a9c742076ad7dc38fca1c2f08e7796308dfc28dd
[13:03] <Vixus> dr_Willis, once I've done that, do I need to reinstall my multimediap players?
[13:03] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: Well, actually no; I tried sud-ing from a terminal with a normal user, and I can't do it;
[13:03] <dr_Willis> SliMM,  use the 64bit edition.. and even then it might not see all of it.
[13:03] <Nimblefinge1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23692/ - I get that error when trying to run configure for xmms, yet i have run apt-get libglib-perl
[13:03] <koshari> SliMM get a 64bit os
[13:04] <Nimblefinge1> find doesnt find glib-config either
[13:04] <dr_Willis> Vixus,  no.. that would be a windows-thinking-mentality-thing. :)
[13:04] <ackbahr> koshari: Yep, but there's a user I don't want to become a sudoer
[13:04] <koshari> ackbahr: was he the first user added to the system?
[13:04] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  any users after the 1st shouldent be able to sudo.
[13:04] <danbee> dr_Willis: what might cause a 64bit os to not see the whole 4GB?
[13:04] <th0r> Nimblefinge1, you probably need the -dev package for the lib
[13:04] <SliMM> dr_Willis, koshari: i have a 32bit processor
[13:04] <Vixus> dr_Willis, thanks! : )
[13:04] <dr_Willis> danbee,  some hardware can be taking some of the address space..  theres some discussion of this on various web sites.
[13:04] <danbee> SliMM: What processor do you have?
[13:04] <RonLu1> hi
[13:05] <dr_Willis> danbee,  if you have exactly 4gb you may notice the issue.
[13:05] <koshari> SliMM well you wont be able to access all of the 4 gig, its a 32bit limitation, some of the lower ram is reserver for video shadow, and some other system stuff
[13:05] <cpare> How can I delete only the files without an extension in a single directory?
[13:05] <Nimblefinger> thanks th0r I'll try that
[13:05] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: But sudo is precisely to say "It's a normal session, but now it's root for a few minutes at the keyboard, please allow me do power stuff"!
[13:05] <BlackRece> does anyone about seting up iptables?
[13:05] <SliMM> danbee: intel core 2 duo

[13:06] <Greenfishx32> this is giving me a headache sort of... how do you FORCE linux to use my alsamixer settings all the time? you see everytime i open vlc, amarok etc they all lower my volume, and I have to raise it again through alsa, yes ive tried to save a session, it doesnt work
[13:06] <Bodsda> OMG!!!
[13:06] <cpare> BlackRece -  Whats going on?
[13:06] <Bodsda> i hate u ubottu!
[13:06] <danbee> SliMM: i'm almost certain that is a 64bit cpu
[13:06] <_stefanos_> Bodsda :) thank you for the link but I don't know if you've heard what I said before. I have downloaded the DVD image and currently i'm testing it with VirtualBox and seems that it's only Desktop edition :/
[13:06] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,   only the first added user has rights to run 'sudo' , any user added after that cant normally do any sudo things.
[13:06] <Vixus> dr_Willis, now ubuntu's asking me to update libdvdcss2.. should I?
[13:06] <koshari> cpare: sirt by extension, then select the ones without and delete
[13:06] <danbee> SliMM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_core_2
[13:06] <ncfi1013> which command compiz --replace or kwin -replace do i have to run each time i startup or do ihave to do that at all?
[13:06] <BlackRece> basically, i'm on da ubuntu box now but can't allow internet access to the rest of my network
[13:06] <dr_Willis> Vixus,  may as well..
[13:06] <chronographer> Hi all. I am new to php, I understand basics of python and html... I have some php scripts, I wonder how to run them?
[13:06] <SliMM> danbee: what are the downsides of using a 64bit ubuntu?
[13:07] <cpare> koshari - I want to do it from the command shell
[13:07] <danbee> SliMM: none that i've found yet, others may have a better answer though
[13:07] <chronographer> BlackRece: install firestarter and run the wizard
[13:07] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: Can't i change that? I had the feeling some other distribs allow this.... Like in "sudo -u username" (that actually doesn't do anything in Ubuntu)?
[13:07] <Greenfishx32> ncfi1013: compiz --replace and save session, or manually edit your bash startup
[13:07] <danbee> SliMM: I'm running hardy AMD64 here right now
[13:07] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, the dvd comes with a server, its the desktop and server editin combined
[13:07] <chronographer> Can someone point me to a goo php tutorial?
[13:07] <chronographer> *good
[13:07] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  you just asked how to make sure the other users could NOT do sudo.. if you want tthem to be able to sudo. you need to enable that feature for them. i dont rember how. :)
[13:07] <SliMM> danbee: does flashplayer work properly?
[13:07] <BlackRece> i'd rather do it in iptables without the front end
[13:08] <_stefanos_> are you sure? because during the booting process doesn't give me the lamp option
[13:08] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, you get to choose which version you want to install
[13:08] <_stefanos_> of course i can do it manually, i know how to do it
[13:08] <bennyf12> is there any easy to follow guide to installing a mail server on ubuntu 8.04?
[13:08] <chronographer> install firestarter.. uninstall firestarter: it uses iptables anyway
[13:08] <BlackRece> i'm one of those that likes to understand EVERYTHING even tho I don't need to to get things working! sry
[13:08] <koshari> SliMM a core2duo has 64bit
[13:08] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-October/126343.html
[13:08] <chronographer> well google an iptables howto
[13:08] <chronographer> =)
[13:08] <_stefanos_> yes i have read that :)
[13:08] <andycan> Is there a way to set ubuntu to run in a very conserved mode so that i can just listen to music? I need a lot of battery for bus traveling.
[13:08] <SliMM> well, I'll request a 64 bit version of ubuntu then
[13:09] <Vixus> my dvd drive seems to be trying to fly..
[13:09] <onisciente> Wow, I deleted cache packages files and i get some gb of memory! Do i need a program such Cleaner for Windows in Ubuntu?
[13:09] <ncfi1013> how do i manually edit bash startup
[13:09] <BlackRece> chrono: i did and trhis is as far as I've got on my own! ( >_<)
[13:09] <_stefanos_> but during booting process i cannot see any server option or lampp or whatsoever
[13:09] <_stefanos_> anyways i will do the old good methods :)
[13:09] <danbee> SliMM: curiously flash doesn't appear to be working here at the moment, but i'm sure it has been
[13:09] <chronographer> oh... well try firestarter! I have and it works
[13:09] <crm> im going to google some more on windows/linux gaming
[13:09] <BlackRece> chrono: that's why I'm here, to try and make sence of the "how-to's"
[13:10] <SliMM> danbee: see :P
[13:10] <crm> thanks for your help
[13:10] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: Is there a channel dedicated to accounts management and all this kind of thingS?
[13:10] <cpare> How can I delete only the files without an extension in a single directory from command shell?
[13:10] <koshari> SliMM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_memory
[13:10] <SliMM> ﻿can anyone explain to me the advantages and disadvantages of using 64bit Hardy
[13:10] <greenfishx3> how do you log in to your nick here? it keeps giving me unkonwno command all the time
[13:11] <koshari> SliMM: advantages , can access beyond 4 gig of ram, disadvantages , less supported software
[13:11] <Nimblefinger> where is the best place to search for packages?
[13:11] <ncfi1013> how do i manually edit bash startup
[13:11] <radovan> Nimblefinger: apt-cache
[13:11] <danbee> SliMM: restarted firefox and flash now works, must have been a transient problem
[13:11] <bimboclaudio> net
[13:11] <Ziroday> Nimblefinger: in synaptic?
[13:11] <chronographer> can you compile or use a kernel which is not 64 bit which accesses more than 4gb ram?
[13:11] <danbee> SliMM: watching a video on youtube as we speak :p
[13:11] <Ziroday> chronographer: nope
[13:12] <chronographer> oh!
[13:12] <SliMM> danbee: I'll use the 32bit version for now
[13:12] <danbee> SliMM: i do believe you won't be able to play Quake 4 on 64-bit, there doesn't seem to be a version available
[13:12] <SliMM> danbee: i was used to 512MB of RAM anyway
[13:12] <greenfishx3> ncfi1013: go to System => Preferences => Sessions and add "compiz-tray-icon" in Startup Programs to load it each time you login.
[13:13]  * JoaoVr Boas
[13:13] <SliMM> danbee: I'll install the 64bit version of *Hardy* a yer from now :P
[13:13] <koshari> Nimblefinger , in the repos

[13:13] <andycan> Is there a way to set ubuntu to run in a very conserved mode so that i can just listen to music? I need a lot of battery for bus traveling.

[13:14] <koshari> andycan mplayer in a freamebuffer?
[13:14] <chronographer> so... please... does anyone know where I can read all about running php scripts?
[13:14] <danbee> SliMM: probably a wise decision!
[13:14] <cpare> andycan - I would just disable as much as possible, and crank down the scree intensity
[13:15] <legend2440> can someone tell me what the owner:group settings for the /home folder  and the /home/<username> folders should be?  should the /home folder be  root:root?   and the /home/<username> folder be username:username?
[13:15] <cpare> andycan - my screen brightness is a big contributor
[13:15] <onisciente> SliMM: I use the Hardy 64bits without problems
[13:15] <koshari> otherwise mplayer in runtime 1
[13:15] <andycan> koshari: never heard of freamebuffer, what is it
[13:15] <lephil-lap> Hi, anyone wanna help me getting cs/steam not to freeze after 30 secs of gaming?
[13:15] <Nimblefinger> thanks
[13:15] <ncfi1013> does system-prefs-sessions go by another name. i am hardy kubuntu 8.04
[13:15] <koshari> andycan: the frambuffer is the stuff you see scrolling through at the beginningof the boot sequence
[13:16] <koshari> andycan otherwise i assume you want a gui
[13:16] <SliMM> can I use the extra RAM for a ramdisk?
[13:16] <koshari> SliMM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_memory
[13:16] <andycan> cpare: Well i dont want to disable my cdroms, wlans, brightness compiz and other stuff all the time, i would like it to just run some basic services that would allow me to listen to music
[13:16] <SliMM> koshari: I suppose that's a "no"
[13:17] <Vixus> Does everyone else have the issue where if firefox is open, gstreamer apps won't play sound (and vice versa)?
[13:17] <mnemo> I have 1-2GB e-mail stored inside thunderbird on a windows machine and now I want to switch to linux.... I tried to install thunderbird on linux and just copy over my thunderbird profile but thunderbird just keeps crashing all the time... is there any other way I can install linux? I checked out "Evolution" for e-mail but it seems it cannot import my old e-mails??
[13:17] <cpare> andycan: you can prolly stop them all through init.d
[13:17] <Vixus> ie. only one gstreamer app can have sound at a time (whichever was opened first)
[13:17] <koshari> andycan: you could create a new session to log into just for playing music, you could use fluxbox or something like that, however i dont think it would really sdave mich battery life compared to siply closing the lid
[13:17] <Vixus> it's pretty annoying having to open and close my music player/firefox all the time.
[13:18] <SliMM> what does "operation not supported by bakend" means (related to obexftp and bluetooth phones)
[13:18] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  i would say read up on sudo - thers dosens of pages that discuss its ins and outs and configuration.
[13:18] <Vixus> and i can't find anything else about it on the forums..
[13:18] <cpare> amdycan: also make sure you have no screensaver, as those chew up a battery
[13:19] <user_> Vixus: are you on hardy?
[13:19] <andycan> cpare: i dont even need a gui, i usually just close the lid and let it play the tunes. It would be great if i could somehow choose something like a recovery console from grub, only that it would start the services to play music
[13:19] <ntenisOT1948> hello.. i have a problem with my ubuntu...
[13:19] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: I'm doing this right as we speak.... I think I start to find something about this!
[13:19] <Bodsda> Vixus, have you tried killing pulseaudio
[13:19] <koshari> Vixus: are you using oss or alsa sound?
[13:19] <cpare> <----- How can I delete only the files without an extension in a single directory?
[13:19] <ntenisOT1948> my cpu temperature goes almost 80 degrees...
[13:19] <ntenisOT1948> when i open firefox or an audio
[13:19] <cpare> andycan - perhaps booting off the CD would be your best bet
[13:19] <dr_Willis> cpare,  extensions are not really  used by linux the idea of without an extension is sort of meaningless.
[13:19] <Bodsda> cpare,  rm /path/to/somewhere/*.txt
[13:19] <Ziroday> ntenisOT1948: yes thats because its being used
[13:20] <dr_Willis> cpare,  you would want to search for files without a . in their names.
[13:20] <schnootop> anyone know what the best way of installing never winter nights for ubuntu is ?
[13:20] <ncfi1013> does system prefs sessions go by another name. i am hardy kubuntu 8.04
[13:20] <Vixus> koshari, alsa as far as I can see.
[13:20] <ntenisOT1948>  i think there is a problem with flash plugin and alsa -pulse drivers..
[13:20] <Vixus> ntenisOT1948, yeah..
[13:21] <Vixus> how do I know if pulseaudio is running?
[13:21] <Bodsda> Vixus, killall pulseaudio
[13:21] <rausb0> pidof pulseaudio
[13:21] <poopuser> hi all.when i use 'swapon -s' i get 'used 0...prioryty -1' what dose this 'prioryty' thing mean?sometimes i wander dose my os uses swap
[13:21] <Vixus> what is pulseaudio anyways?
[13:21] <cpare> I have dozens of files with random 30 charater names in a folder with real data
[13:21] <Vixus> (yes it was running)
[13:21] <cpare> so I want to delete those files
[13:21] <moon_> How to use NTFS
[13:21] <Bodsda> Vixus, its some bad sound controller
[13:22] <Bodsda> !pulseaudio | Vixus
[13:22] <Vixus> Bodsda, sound will work without it?
[13:22] <koshari> Vixus: pulseaudi is a new framework to mix different sound sources
[13:22] <caldo_de_cana> hello
[13:22] <Bodsda> Vixus, yes, alsa will take over
[13:22] <Vixus> Bodsda, can I disable it from loading on startup?
[13:22] <caldo_de_cana> how do I change my macbook keyboard layout so that I don't have to press the Fn key to access the F1->F12 keys?
[13:22] <Bodsda> Vixus, if it is the source of your problems, just uninstall it
[13:23] <Bodsda> moon_, what do you mean, use?
[13:23] <troythetechguy>  According to my textbook, I can use the "disable" command followed by printer name to disable printing for the specified printer.  However, when I enter disapble <printer_name> in Ubuntu CLI, I'm told disable: command not found.  I don't need to disable printing, just trying to understand how it works.  Ideas?
[13:23] <moon_> I can't open my NTFS format hard
[13:24] <Bodsda> moon_, can you pastebin the output of    sudo fdisk -l   please
[13:24] <dr_Willis> troythetechguy,  what textbook is this?
[13:24] <moon_> May I use WINE
[13:24] <Vixus> Bodsda, finally! Thanks. : )
[13:24] <ncfi1013> does system-prefs-sessions go by another mane?
[13:24] <cpare> Bodsda: problem is my files dont have an extension, so it would be rm /path/* and that deletes all my files, with and without extensions
[13:24] <dr_Willis> moon_,  you dont use wine to read ntfs
[13:24] <Bodsda> Vixus, working?
[13:24] <troythetechguy> Linux+ Guide to Linux certification
[13:24] <moon_> okey I did sudo fdisk -l
[13:24] <dr_Willis> troythetechguy,  sounds like it may be talking about some other disrto. Ive never seen a 'disable' command.
[13:25] <Bodsda> moon_, pastebin the output
[13:25] <Bodsda> !paste | moon_
[13:25] <troythetechguy> dr_willis how can I stop the printer from printing, but still allow the printer to receive jobs in que?
[13:25] <Vixus> Bodsda, yeah
[13:26] <dr_Willis> troythetechguy,  no idea.. i imagine its one of the lp* commands..
[13:26] <Bodsda> Vixus, cool, now run      sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[13:26] <dr_Willis> troythetechguy,  perhaps the book is mentiong some disable OPTION to some other command.
[13:26] <user_> troythetechguy: the enable command does exist, it may however not installed on your system by default
[13:26] <atallicus> morning Bodsda!
[13:26] <user_> troythetechguy: same for the disable command, ahem..
[13:26] <troythetechguy> dr_willis Thank you.
[13:27] <Vixus> Bodsda, it's meant to remove ubuntu-desktop too? :P
[13:27] <Bodsda> afternoon atallicus
[13:27] <Bodsda> Vixus, no!
[13:27] <enoch> for some reason, i can't get movies to play right, when i try to watch online, they keep freezing, and on regular dvd's, they get real glitchy, any ideas?
[13:27] <dr_Willis> troythetechguy,  ubuntu uses the cups sytem. so cups.org is the place to go :)
[13:27] <Vixus> :/
[13:27] <troythetechguy> user_: Thanks.
[13:27] <kaizener> can mandriva2008 remaster
[13:27] <Bodsda> Vixus, reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[13:27] <atallicus> Can someone help me delete some files from a video game install?  Most of them deleted, but the .cab's are telling me I don't have permission
[13:27] <magic_ninja> diablo 3 looks tight
[13:27] <Bodsda> moon_, ??? did you pastebin it?
[13:27] <moon_> no
[13:27] <Vixus> Bodsda, it seems to be intimately connected with pulseaudio
[13:27] <Bodsda> moon_, why not?
[13:28] <Vixus> Bodsda, I can't remove one without the other..
[13:28] <moon_> I don't understand it
[13:28] <koshari> Bodsda pulseaudio is a dependencie for ubuntu-desktop matapackege
[13:28] <ncfi1013> where is system-preferences-settings in hardy kubuntu 8.04
[13:28] <Bodsda> koshari, ive removed without removing ubuntu-desktop
[13:28] <moon_> wait I'll researching it
[13:28] <Bodsda> Vixus, ok, we'll just blacklist it
[13:28] <Vixus> ok
[13:29] <Bodsda> anyone know how to blacklist pulseaudio?
[13:29] <Bodsda> ;~)
[13:29] <asoare> hello, i have a problem: i own a macbook pro santa rosa and followed the tutotial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireless to install madwifi, but after i do "modprobe ath_pci" there are no ath0 or wlan0 created; nothing happens ...
[13:29] <koshari> Vixus: ayway the ubuntu-desktop matapackage isnt essentual but does make package management a lot more friendly
[13:29] <Vixus> Bodsda, I found out how to disable it
[13:29] <Bodsda> Vixus, yeah, best to keep ubuntu-desktop
[13:30] <Bodsda> Vixus, oh? do tell
[13:30] <Oli``> I just killed pulseaudio to play a game (that requires direct access to ALSA). I'm out the game and want to start PA again but it can't start up properly (probably because something else, perhaps, is using ALSA) How can I free up the soundcard/ALSA so PA can start?
[13:30] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: I found the sudo -i command, but it asked me for the user's password, not root's....
[13:30] <Bodsda> Oli``, log out, log in
[13:30] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  yes.. thats how it works...
[13:30] <Bodsda> ackbahr, it means the sudo password
[13:30] <Vixus> Bodsda, hmm, "To disable pulseaudio in hardy you need to select alsa for for all options in /system/preferences/sound " apparently..
[13:30] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  there is no root password..
[13:31] <Bodsda> Vixus, nah thats painstaking
[13:31] <user_> !root | Bodsda
[13:31] <Bodsda> user_, thankyou, im well aware
[13:32] <Vixus> Bodsda, hmm ok.. surely there's some script that tells it to load on startup? (windows thinking again..)
[13:32] <user_> Bodsda: sorry, wrong nick
[13:32] <Bodsda> Vixus, your right there probably is, but i dont know where it is.
[13:32] <Nimblefinger> after using make install in the terminal, how do you find and run the actual program?
[13:32] <Bodsda> user_, ;~)
[13:32] <Vixus> Bodsda, additionally i could edit my startup script to killall pulseaudio?
[13:32] <Bodsda> Nimblefinger, just use the app name   eg     xchat
[13:32] <ackbahr> Bodsda: So if I do this in a non-sudoer account, it will allow me to run stuff as root anyway?
[13:32] <user_> !root | ackbahr
[13:33] <Bodsda> Vixus, yeah, that will work, not a solution but its good enough ;~)
[13:34] <ackbahr> user_: Yep, but I'd like to setup stuff while a non-sudoer account is on.... Because if I make this account a sudoer, anyone allowed to login into it will be allowed to run anything as superuser with this pasword, right?
[13:34] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  if you run sudo as a non-sudor user. it will proberly ask for a password. then fail.
[13:34] <Bodsda> Vixus, you confident with making a killall script and adding it to sessions?
[13:34] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: Exactly what it does. And exactly what I don't find logical
[13:34] <chantalou> hello everyone
[13:34] <Vixus> Bodsda, yup, i think so.. http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[13:35] <Bodsda> ackbahr, whats not logical about a non priviliged user not being allowed access to root priviliges?
[13:35] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,   the fact that it would fail 'befor' it asked for the password - would be considered a security issue.
[13:35] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  perhaps this way - the 'hackor' that may be trying to break in.. dosent know if why it failed.. bad password.. or invalid user.
[13:36] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Well, I expect that the password is the blocking step....
[13:36] <chantalou> i am on the communoty and i want configure my vpn server pptpd anyone can help me please
[13:36] <Vixus> Bodsda, actually, can you tell me how to add a sessions script? (I assume that'll run on login rather than boot.)
[13:36] <Bodsda> Vixus, open a text file, first line should be         #! /bin/bash              second line       killall pulseaudio         save and quit
[13:36] <Pupen1> Anything like linode.com that you'd recommend with Ubuntu Hardy?
[13:36] <Nimblefinger> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23698/ I get this when trying to run xmms, literally just installed it
[13:36] <Bodsda> Vixus, sudo chmod a+x /path/to/script/script          then add it to    System --> Preferences -=-> Sessions
[13:37] <Vixus> Bodsda, cheers
[13:37] <Bodsda> Vixus -- yes
[13:37] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Imagine I'm the admin of a network. I'm supposed to be able to run one or two commands from any teminal, even if it's normally designed for normal users only?
[13:37] <Bodsda> ackbahr, yeah
[13:37] <chantalou> any one knows haw to configure pptpd ?
[13:37] <chantalou> how
[13:37] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Know a way to make it be thus?
[13:38] <Bodsda> ackbahr, yeah, your the person who has the password and is in the sudoers file
[13:38] <Bodsda> !sudoers
[13:38] <Bodsda> omg im gonna kill u ubottu
[13:39] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But I don't want to log off and in again everytime I want to change a little something (especially when what I'm doing is trying to remove privileges from a common user session)!
[13:39] <asoar1> ﻿hello, i have a problem: i own a macbook pro santa rosa and followed the tutotial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireless to install madwifi, but after i do "modprobe ath_pci" there are no ath0 or wlan0 created; nothing happens ...
[13:39] <koshari> ackbahr yes thats the point of a sudo password, if the user doesnt know it they cannot access the administrator function, however they can still have there own password to access there limited acount , understand?
[13:39]  * Vixus will be back in a mo
[13:39] <asoare> ﻿ hello, i have a problem: i own a macbook pro santa rosa and followed the tutotial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireless to install madwifi, but after i do "modprobe ath_pci" there are no ath0 or wlan0 created; nothing happens ...
[13:40] <Bodsda> ackbahr, if your the only user in the sudoers file you are the ONLY perosn who can use sudo
[13:40] <koshari> ackbahr: you will need to be logged in as a user with sudo privelidged to make administrative changes
[13:40] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  in a terminal, you can login to a different user if you wanted to.
[13:41] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  but it can get confusing
[13:41] <ackbahr> koshari: I know, of course.... but can't I change it so I can use a sudoed terminal inside a non-sudoer session?
[13:41] <Vixus> Bodsda, great! It also silences the ubuntu startup noise prematurely. XD
[13:41] <Bodsda> Vixus, haha, cool -- glad things are workin for ya
[13:41] <ackbahr> dr_Willis: especially if what you want to do is X....
[13:42] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  with sudo you can setup where specific users can do specific Root-ish type tasks also..  once ya learn how sudo works.
[13:42] <_stefanos_> why hibernate does not functioning properly under VirtualBox? It's the second time that's happening to me. the same issue with previous edition...
[13:42] <Bodsda> ackbahr, go to a terminal and type      man sudoers     read that
[13:43] <OPAX> How install qt4 in ubuntu?
[13:44] <Bodsda> OPAX, qt4 what?
[13:44] <radovan> OPAX: install libqt4-gui and libqt4-core package
[13:45] <Bodsda> radovan, there are lots of qt4* packages aswell
[13:45] <Nimblefinger> hmm, I'm still getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/23698/ when i try to run xmms for the first time, what is missing a shared file a symptom of?
[13:46] <radovan> Bodsda: of course
[13:46] <Bodsda> !xmms
[13:46] <Bodsda> Nimblefinger, ^^^
[13:47] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  how did you install xmms?
[13:47] <Nimblefinger> from the terminal
[13:47] <OPAX> radovan, i have libqt4-gui and libqt4-core package, but i want install qt-designer
[13:47] <Nimblefinger> using ./configure. then make, make install
[13:47] <_stefanos_> either I'm doing something wrong...I cannot see what is available on the DVD :/
[13:47] <radovan> OPAX: then install package qt4-designer
[13:47] <_stefanos_> it installs the desktop edition and does not let me choose what i want
[13:47] <radovan> ;)
[13:47] <Nimblefinger> and
[13:47] <Nimblefinger> thanks bosda
[13:48] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  very likely you compiled in some options, and dident have the proper dev libs installed for that option
[13:48] <Soul_Sample> i spent 2 days connecting to my adsl and now it finally works, and i'm really scared to reboot my pc so that i wouldn't lose it again. if it's working now, is it safe to say that it'll work after the reboot? :D
[13:48] <Bodsda> your welcome Nimblefinger
[13:48] <rich_> bloodhounds
[13:48] <rich_> does anyone work in New Zealand?
[13:48] <Bodsda> Soul_Sample, 70%
[13:48] <koshari> Nimblefinger: you would be a lot better off getting a package, try an old dapper beep package, if you cannot find a xmms,
[13:48] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Mind if I msg about my precise situation and the expected result?
[13:48] <Nimblefinger> so wrong dev libs would let configure think its right but would end up screwing things up?
[13:48] <Nimblefinger> thanks koshari, I will look into it
[13:48] <Bodsda> ackbahr, im not very good with servers and all that so best to keep it in the channel where others can chip in
[13:48] <koshari> rich_:  i beleive about 80% of the population in new zealand work!
[13:49] <ackbahr> Ok
[13:49] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  perhaps.. its hard to tell.  I perfer 'bmpx' or 'audacious' to xmms..
[13:49] <Nimblefinger> xmms was simply the first i found was all
[13:49] <Bodsda> lol @ koshari
[13:49] <eth01> can you do a minimal install with a desktop iso?
[13:49] <eth01> (8.04)
[13:49] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  forget about xmms then.. :)
[13:49] <Bodsda> Nimblefinger, Rhythmbox is an excellent audio player
[13:49] <rich_> jesus as high as that.
[13:49] <rich_> i thought it was 79% myself
[13:49] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  just forget you ever heard of it. :)
[13:50] <m1dn1ght> Can someone please tell me how or point me to a guide explaining how I can setup my 2 ubuntu computers (laptop and desktop) so I can share printers and access either computer's hdd from both pc's?
[13:50] <amit> Question: Can I run the net through the vodafone k2540 usb stick in ubuntu ?? If so, then how ??
[13:50] <dr_Willis> m1dn1ght,  for the hard drives - for 2 linux machines. You want to set up 'nfs'
[13:50] <Nimblefinger> I just want something to play mp3s, and accept shoutcast streams etc
[13:50] <dr_Willis> Nimblefinger,  the other players can do that. No need for xmms.
[13:50] <Bodsda> Nimblefinger, Rhythmbox should manage all that
[13:50] <m1dn1ght> dr_willis - thank you.  I'll look that up now.
[13:50] <eth01> yes no?
[13:50] <ackbahr> So I'll explain the precise situation. I have account "1" with password "a" who is a sudoer. I want to create account "2" (pswd : "b") for a bunch of friend who might use this computer during the holiday. If I make account "2" a sudoer, then everyone who knows password "b" will be able to sudo with it, right?
[13:51] <koshari> Nimblefinger vlc, rythembox, amarok ,totem will all play mp3s
[13:51] <dr_Willis> ackbahr,  exactly
[13:51] <Bodsda> ackbahr, correct
[13:51] <jAk> hello everybody
[13:51] <Nimblefinger> do I just need to download the correct codecs?
[13:51] <OPAX> radovan, i cant install qt4-designer because i have message that libqt4-dev not is prepare to install
[13:51] <amit> Can I run the net through the vodafone k2540 usb stick in ubuntu ?? If so, then how ??
[13:51] <brett> ackbahr,  solution, don't make him a sudoer and make a root account on the machine you can su to if needed.
[13:51] <Bodsda> Nimblefinger, just try and play something in rhythmbox, it will tell you what to install
[13:52] <Nimblefinger> thanks
[13:52] <Bodsda> brett, wow, no need to go enabling the root password
[13:52] <koshari> ackbahr: no the users with password b wont know password a and would therefore fail the chellenge when attempting to become root
[13:53] <brett> Bodsda, you act like having a root acct is evil. :|
[13:53] <Bodsda> koshari, he said user with psswd b would be a sudoer
[13:53] <Gpalco> Friends, my SCANNER is ONLY accessable to ROOT user. Need to add myself (user) to the group allowed to use SCANNERS. I am already in 'scaner' and 'saned' GROUPS. PLS HLP
[13:53] <Bodsda> brett, not evil, just a very bad idea, especially if you struggle to understand sudo
[13:53] <Ontolog> How can I install a .deb file?
[13:53] <koshari> Bodsda well you would have granted him rights by adding him to the sudoers list
[13:53] <IndyGunFreak> Ontolog: if you hve all the dependencies, double click it
[13:53] <Bodsda> Ontolog, Gdebiinstaller, just double click on it
[13:53] <jAk> Am having problems removing Crossover I trailed, I've used the recommended removal commands in terminal? Any ideas how i can remove this completely ? on 8.04LTS
[13:53] <brett> i still kind of think sudo is ass backwards, maybe I don't understand it :|
[13:53] <koshari> Ontolog: double click it,
[13:53] <ackbahr> koshari: So that's with "2" not a sudoer. But then if I'm come around, account "2" is on and I want to install a program or change something; I'll have to logout and then go back to "1" to be able to sudo?
[13:54] <OPAX> How can i uninstall ALL qt3 in synaptic?
[13:54] <Bodsda> koshari, aye, not me you need to tell ;~)
[13:54] <koshari> and gdebi will open it
[13:54] <Bodsda> ackbahr, or you can use the fast user swith panel applaet thing, but yeah
[13:54] <koshari> Bodsda true, yout handle was closest to the text box to drag down
[13:54]  * IndyGunFreak <3's sudo
[13:54] <Bodsda> koshari, you what?
[13:54] <panthro> dpkg
[13:54] <ackbahr> brett: Can't use the "su" command at all
[13:55] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Doesn't work on my computer
[13:55] <koshari> ackbahr: yes you would need to be loggd in as a user with sudoer privelidged to sudo
[13:55] <troythetechguy> Still not sure how to disable printer from CLI, but in GUI I can uncheck enable and printer becomes disabled, but still accepts print jobs.
[13:55] <Ontolog> you mean execute it?
[13:55] <brett> you can once you enable the root user.
[13:55] <Ontolog> can I do that from the cli?
[13:55] <panthro> well at home sudo is as backwards
[13:55] <ackbahr> brett: how?
[13:55] <Bodsda> ackbahr, thats because theres no root password
[13:55] <panthro> but at work its a life saver
[13:55] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But I set one up during install, I'm rather sure I did!
[13:55] <Bodsda> ackbahr, enabling root password is a bad idea, unless you seriously know what your doing
[13:56] <panthro> nobody can point fingers anymore
[13:56] <brett> sudo passwd
[13:56] <koshari> ackbahr: dont enable the root user, its what the whole sudo philosophy is designed to avaid
[13:56] <Bodsda> ackbahr, not during install you didnt
[13:56] <brett> no need to make him jump through hoops to do a simple linux administrative task
[13:56] <koshari> ackbahr you setup te initioal user password which by default is a sudoer
[13:57] <Bodsda> brett, theres no point in having sudo if he enables the root password
[13:57] <koshari> brett: logigng on as a sudoer is no more difficult than logging in as root, except its a safer practicce
[13:57] <ackbahr> koshari: But the possibility to sudo (with a specific root password) from any session exists in other distribs, doesn't it?
[13:57] <greenfishx3> how do you install mp3 support for amarok?
[13:57] <Bodsda> ackbahr, creating a root password is a bad idea, end of,. sudo is what you use for administritive tasks
[13:58] <Bodsda> ackbahr, yes, and its a security risk
[13:58] <magnetron> !codev | greenfishx3
[13:58] <Bodsda> !codec
[13:58] <magnetron> !codec | greenfishx3
[13:58] <Bodsda> mwahaha
[13:58] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But I don't understand why this is a security issue; if only the guy who knows the root password knows it?
[13:58] <jAk> Am having problems removing Crossover I trailed, I've used the recommended removal commands in terminal? Any ideas how i can remove this completely ? on 8.04LTS
[13:59] <koshari> ackbahr: yes it is, in fact you can have a simple linux distribution that is all root, like the tomtom navigators have, but not a good idea to be mucking round in a bash session on those if you dont have a GOOD backup stratergy
[13:59] <greenfishx3> thanks magnetron
[13:59] <magnetron> jAk, how did you install it?
[13:59] <greenfishx3> and bodsda
[13:59] <Bodsda> ;~)
[13:59] <Bodsda> ackbahr, why do you need a root password when you can achieve the same goal with sudo?
[14:00] <Bodsda> ackbahr, you create a risk as soon as you enable it
[14:00] <jAk> magnetron> downloaded it and installed it
[14:00] <koshari> ackbahr what do you actually want to acheive, if security isnt an issue make all users sudoers, if it is only give trusted users sudo access!
[14:00] <_stefanos_> guys, sorry for being a pain in the...you know. can someone help me with the DVD edition? i have installed ubuntu twice. one time with GUI and one time with text mode. I cannot see any server option. do i have to download the server edition?
[14:00] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Because I don't want to logout from the common session, as I want to see the effects my changes will have on it
[14:00] <magnetron> jAk, yes, but how did you install it?
[14:00] <Bodsda> ackbahr, you dont have to, use the fast user switch applet
[14:01] <koshari> _stefanos_: yes, however you may be able to add the additional server packages by using a metapackage
[14:01] <_stefanos_> how can i do that?
[14:01] <Bodsda> ackbahr, right click panel -- add to panel -- find 'switch user' -- then theres no logging out
[14:01] <_stefanos_> please advice
[14:01] <ackbahr> Bodsda: but the fast switch doesn't work for me (I get a black screen and eventually have to reboot)
[14:01] <saLOUt> is skype on ubuntu pre-installed?
[14:02] <koshari> ackbahr: use control alt backspace, it takes about 10 seconds the change sessions
[14:02] <Bodsda> ackbahr, so 5 seconds on a log out is too much for security,.,. ok your choice but its a bad idea
[14:02] <magnetron> saLOUt, no, but it's very easy to install
[14:02] <chantalou> anyones hows to configure the vpn server pptpd
[14:03] <chantalou> ?
[14:03] <ackbahr> Bodsda: No, but I don't understand WHY a root user who utters her password only when needed is a problem!
[14:03] <saLOUt> magnetron: i dont want to install it - installation of skype also possible in live cd mode?
[14:03] <_stefanos_> i thought metapackages was for server edition
[14:03] <ia> hello, everybody. could you tell me please, how i can get last sources of ubuntu kernel via apt? i've tried #apt-get source ﻿linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic, but it don't bring me package with source code with whole ubuntu linux kernel. i will be appreciate for any useful information :-)
[14:03] <jAk> magnetron> Sorry, downloaded the Deb and used GDebi Package installer to install this
[14:04] <_stefanos_> i have the DVD acting like desktop edition and I want it to give me the option to select what i want to install
[14:04] <Bodsda> ackbahr, ok think of this, if i was to gain access to your machine, say through means of you executing a script i gave you, i could use a password cracker to brute force your root password and permenantly delete your system -- and trust me, i know how
[14:04] <magnetron> saLOUt, ubuntu will need to download skype from the internet to be able to install it.
[14:04] <saLOUt> magnetron: or do you know a dristribution with pre-installed skype
[14:04] <saLOUt> ?
[14:04] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But if you find a way to crack the password of a sudoer, it would be exactly the same, wouldn't it?
[14:05] <magnetron> saLOUt, no.
[14:05] <Bodsda> ackbahr, yes, but why create 2 security wholes when you already have one?
[14:06] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But if I created a root account, I would de-sudo all the rest, of course....
[14:06] <koshari> ackbahr: then you would need to be logged in as root to do administrative tasks,
[14:06] <Bodsda> ackbahr, if you did that every single thing you do would run as root and things would start breaking left right and centre
[14:06] <IdleOne> ackbahr, point is you should not enable root. use sudo. pleased see !root
[14:06] <chantalou> excuse me to insist but i have a problem to configure pptpd server. it will be very cool if one person can help me
[14:06] <magnetron> jAk, remove the package with Synaptic and it will remove all the program files. if you also want to remove the data files (all the installed windows apps and the settings) you would need to choose "remove completely" in synaptic.
[14:07] <Snaury> Can someone tell me what's the process for reporting bugs with patches? I read somewhere that you can't triage your own bug, but when my bug with a patch is sitting there as unknown for 2.5 weeks with any comment from anyone it's a little absurd. :-/
[14:07] <magnetron> chantalou, just ask your question straight out. if anyone knows the answer, they will most likely answer.
[14:07] <Snaury> *without any comment
[14:07] <Bodsda> Snaury, mines been sat there for 2 and a half months without a reply, be patient
[14:08] <chantalou> ok thank you magentron
[14:08] <ackbahr> Bodsda: why would everything run as root?
[14:08] <koshari> Snaury add a link to it from launchpad and anyone chasing it will see it
[14:08] <chantalou> magnetron
[14:08] <Snaury> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/239419
[14:08] <kronskorp> Does anyone know why my atheros card won't work with ndiswrapper? says the driver is installed and the hardware is detected
[14:08] <koshari> ackbahr: everything would run as root becuse if you had a root account and wanted to do something you would need to be logged in as root
[14:09] <Bodsda> ackbahr, because youd get so bored with switching to the root account all the time you wouldnt change back,.,. your making yourself more hassle if you enable root account
[14:09] <Snaury> koshari: but am I supposed to announce my bugs like that? I thought mainteiners would see it has a patch and follow it. :-/
[14:09] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: which atheros card?
[14:09] <kwk> Hello! I have enabled the desktop effects an put a clock screenlet onto my desktop. When clicking the "show desktop" symbol in my gnome panel, this screenlet also minimizes. How can I disable this behaviour?
[14:09] <kronskorp> 5006EG wireless
[14:09] <jAk> magnetron> trying this now ;)
[14:10] <koshari> Snaury dunno, depends on the package and the maintainer i guess?
[14:10] <ackbahr> Bodsda: No, this is Windows behaviour.... What I want is to be in a non-priviliged account, and from time to time run something as root (and be the only one to be able to do it, so with another password than the one used to loggin)
[14:10] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: are you sure?.. there's been some detection issues w/ that device, it gets dtected as ar5006EG, Ar5007EG and AR242x
[14:11] <Bodsda> ackbahr, ?? i dunno if you can have a diff password, but you can do that with sudo (aoart from the diff psswd that im not sure bout)
[14:11] <kronskorp> indy: ah yes ok.. i could try getting anotther windows driver for it and see what happens then
[14:11] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: how does lspci identify your wireless device
[14:11] <theneb> Hi all, does there exist a way for a newbie user to restore their repo's? I've got one who has removed a repo from synaptic
[14:11] <jAk> magnetron> Brilliant, that worked.... thankyou for helping... ;)
[14:11] <panthro> ackbahr sounds like you want to do something like roles in trusted solaris
[14:11] <kronskorp> Indy: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[14:11] <panthro> or rbac
[14:11] <ackbahr> Bodsda: But the different password part is exactly what matters to me....
[14:11] <magnetron> jAk, cheers!
[14:11] <BonezAU> Hi, I use WPA on my wireless network at home, and every time I boot up, ubuntu asks me for the password to the default keyring before it proceeds to connect to my WLAN. Is there any way I can force it to remember the password so I don't have to enter it every time? Thanks
[14:11] <Bodsda> theneb, removed? by manually editing the sources.lst?
[14:12] <koshari> ackbahr does cont alt backspace not work for you?
[14:12] <ackbahr> panthro: I think that's it, indeed.....
[14:12] <theneb> By deleting entries in synaptic
[14:12] <Bodsda> ackbahr, so ask about the diff password not activating root
[14:12] <ackbahr> Bodsda: but then how do I sudo?
[14:12] <acid_> i just want to listen to music ;_;
[14:12] <Bodsda> theneb, i dont think you can delete a repo line from synaptic
[14:12] <koshari> ackbahr: you wont be able to sudo from an account that isnt a sudoer
[14:13] <chombee_> Anyone know how I set the application that opens when an audio CD, mp3 player, etc. is connected in hardy? e.g. if I want to use SoundJuicer instead of Rhythmbox
[14:13] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: what version of ubuntu are you using
[14:13] <ackbahr> koshari: Isn't the "sudo -u" command made for this?
[14:13] <theneb> Bodsda: Does there exist a default amd64 sources.list within easy reach?
[14:13] <Bodsda> theneb, actually you can, maybe theres a sources.list~ if your lucky
[14:13] <Bodsda> theneb, dunno, google it
[14:13] <kronskorp> IndyGunFreak: 7.04 as far as i know, the G one
[14:13] <jAk> Bye everybody
[14:13] <Bodsda> ackbahr, can i pm you?
[14:13] <koshari> ackbahr man sudo
[14:13] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: open a terminal and type this w/o quotes.. "lsb_release -a" (thats a lowercase L)
[14:14] <Bodsda> its gettin to that aint it koshari
[14:14] <ackbahr> Bodsda: Pleas go ahead
[14:14] <kronskorp> IndyGunFreak: It's 7.10,  gutsy
[14:14] <ackbahr> koshari: I did, and I gathered sudo -u was to be in a session and sudo as another user
[14:14] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: i can help you get that device working... but we'll have to priv. chat, cuz i'll need to rapidshare you some files
[14:15] <BonezAU> Hi, I use WPA on my wireless network at home, and every time I boot up, ubuntu asks me for the password to the default keyring before it proceeds to connect to my WLAN. Is there any way I can force it to remember the password so I don't have to enter it every time? Thanks
[14:15] <kronskorp> IndyGunFreak: Ok, just let me know how.
[14:15] <koshari> ackbahr i dont know for sure but i would suspect that wouldnt be the case because if you could run a sudo command from a non sudoer account ANYONE would be able to
[14:15] <IndyGunFreak> kronskorp: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak"
[14:15] <Jane_ux> hi every1
[14:16] <ackbahr> koshari: And what would be the problem if they know the password for a sudoer's account?
[14:16] <Pupen1> Anything like linode.com that you'd recommend with Ubuntu Hardy?
[14:16] <BonezAU> hello?
[14:16] <greenfishx3> anyone know any application similar to adobe audition (spectral analysis) in linux?
[14:16] <koshari> ackbahr: from man,  it is not possible to run
[14:16] <koshari>            commands with a uid not listed in the password database.
[14:16] <Jane_ux> Where can I place a script to be executed in logout time in edubuntu(LDM)?
[14:17] <Bodsda> Hey guys, can i have a different sudo password to my login password?
[14:17] <theneb> Bodsda: yes
[14:17] <Bodsda> theneb, how?
[14:17] <koshari> ackbahr: by virtua of the fact they were a sudoer they WOULD have a root password,
[14:17] <_stefanos_> Bodsda...can you help me man? :/
[14:17] <_stefanos_> please
[14:17] <Bodsda> steffen_, not atm
[14:18] <Gpalco> My SCANNER is ONLY accessable to ROOT user. Need to add myself (user) to the group allowed to use SCANNERS. I am already in 'scaner' and 'saned' GROUPS. PLS HLP
[14:18] <_stefanos_> ok
[14:18] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, youve been here a while, remind the channel of your prob
[14:18] <ackbahr> Yes, but if there are TWO people around the computer, one setting up something quickly for the other who isn't a sudoer?
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda I see that as a problem
[14:18] <_stefanos_> I have downloaded the DVD image

[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda different password
[14:19] <Bodsda> _stefanos_, why dont you just download the server you want

[14:19] <ws> i only have limitied time with wired connection
[14:19] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, is it possible and why do you think its a prob?
[14:19] <koshari> Gpalco did you do it through the gui or manually by editing the permisions
[14:19] <BonezAU> I use WPA on my wireless network, every time I boot up it asks for a password for the default keyring. How can I save this password and make it go away?

[14:20] <IdleOne> IndyGunFreak, just sent you another atheros user :)

[14:20] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[14:20] <_stefanos_> i really want the server choice so I may take the DVD to my work and upgrade my lan server
[14:20] <IdleOne> IndyGunFreak, well i figured you are in the middle of the process :)
[14:20] <ws> the problem is that it says that it needs to use a restricted driver
[14:20] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, i wont to login with 1 password, but say perhaps i wont to be extra secure by having a different password that i use for sudo
[14:20] <IndyGunFreak> yeah..

[14:21] <ws> and when i do dmesg, the module says its tainted by kernel
[14:21] <Bodsda> BonezAU, haha,. !*very funny*!
[14:21] <BonezAU> Bodsda, :)
[14:21] <koshari> ackbahr: i think you should simply log in as a sudoer if you plan to make aministrative changes, after all thats what the systems designed to be used as

[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Bodsda I understand what you are saying but have no idea how you would go about trying to get that to work

[14:21] <koshari> Bodsda it wont be extra secure becuse once you are a sudoer you could change other mermissions
[14:22] <ackbahr> koshari: but if the normal user is in the middle of 5 things, and doesn't want to logout?
[14:22] <Bodsda> koshari, im a sudoer anyways......?
[14:22] <ws> IndyGunFreak: i can't find any /etc/ubuntu-version or similar. i have the kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
[14:22] <koshari> ackbahr a normal user shouldnt have administrative access, simple as that
[14:22] <Gpalco> koshari, I cheked the gui user and group mngment tool and my account was already a member of the groups, but the scanner is still only accessable or even recognized with sudo
[14:22] <IndyGunFreak> ws: thats not what i asked, what version of ubuntu are you using
[14:22] <Bodsda> Jack_Sparrow, any idea where the sudo password is defined? or leme guess its heavily encrypted
[14:22] <IdleOne> ws,  type lsb_release -a in terminal
[14:22] <ws> i use UbuntuClub 7.10
[14:22] <BonezAU> dmesg

[14:23] <ackbahr> koshari: But if they don't have the password, they won't sudo anyway....
[14:23] <IndyGunFreak> ws: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" i'm talking someone else through this now, i'll rapidshare you soem files to make it work right
[14:23] <dr_Willis> the 'sudo' password would be the initial users password.. and it would be encrypted in the /etc/shadow file I belive.

[14:27] <Ossen> Anyone here experianced with AVI to Gif? I would like to make a pice of an AVI file to a Gif file.
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> BonezAU You need to stop repeating  and be patient
[14:27] <piju> Bodsda, it is stable or not ?
[14:27] <Bodsda> piju, yes they are stable
[14:28] <BonezAU> Jack_Sparrow, I stopped repeating like 10 minutes ago dude
[14:28] <IdleOne> piju, packages that have been proposed and waiting to be accepted into ubuntu. still available to the public but not supported officially. safe to use at your own risk
[14:28] <piju> how about backports?
[14:28] <Bodsda> haha
[14:28] <IdleOne> piju, I have the proposed repo enabled
[14:28] <ackbahr> koshari: But then I can't just ask the guy watching his movie to pause to change a setting, I'll have to logoff from his session and then get back again and reopen the movie and find the right place again; I'd like to simply pause, open a terminal, then leave him alone right away!

[14:29] <piju> backports is 90-100% stable ?
[14:29] <Ossen>  Anyone here experianced with AVI to Gif? I would like to make a pice of an AVI file to a Gif file.
[14:30] <Bodsda> piju, none of the repos are going to bork your install
[14:30] <koshari> Jane_ux runlevels are various stages of operation, for example there would be a runlevel for logout, and it would have a dirctory like rc6 for that corrosponding script to bi in that you wanted executed at the runlevel.
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> piju backports are fine.. proposed.. no so fine
[14:30] <IdleOne> piju, hardy backports are packages that have been ported backwards to gutsy . some things changed in the way packages got installed in hardy but you may want to use it in gutsy so .... backports!

[14:37] <yertthedestroyer> th0r: Honestly, thats a feature I would add for adoption if I was in charge, if it isn't already; between that and NTFS it allows smoother dueling

[14:39] <dr_Willis> andycan,  check the 'bash prompt' howto for setting up a purty prompt.
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> danbhfive ot is for things not related directly to ubuntu support

[14:41] <philsf> does anyone know against which package should one report a bug about suspend/resume issues?
[14:41] <emma> You might want to talk to ubottu in pm, rather than exploring the factoids in the channel.
[14:41] <yertthedestroyer> Well, the support in here was totally useless for determining out of the box support for something, but I suppose it won't be too big a deal to find something else...

[14:43] <philsf> danbhfive: do you happen to know against which package should I report?

[14:49] <racarter> konqueror uses webkit, right?
[14:49] <racarter> same as safari

[14:49] <Anderson> Falling-Inferno, Ghost, or something similar
[14:50] <Anderson> if I get an error when doing ./configure that it can not find zlib, what package do I need?
[14:50] <Haavard> dr_willis, I think so. I've looked at the synaptics package thing, and there is a sis-driver there I think.
[14:50] <dr_Willis> Anderson,  fire up synaptic look for 'zlib' and it will have -dev at the end of the name.
[14:50] <Starnestommy> Anderson: zlib1g-dev
[14:50] <Haavard> i've seen from the forum that several people are having problems with sis.
[14:50] <dr_Willis> Haavard,  Hmm.. no idea on sis. ive heard bad things about those.
[14:50] <Anderson> Starnestommy, thanks
[14:51] <Falling-Inferno> I want to use my 2nd hard drive to install it Ubuntu how would I do that and god Win XP Sp1 is laggy -_-
[14:51] <Anderson> dr_Willis, thank you too
[14:51] <dr_Willis> Anderson,  i normally do a 'apt-cache search zlib | grep dev' :) to get a short list of potential packages
[14:52] <saddeh> Alright, I'll search another route then... Any way to restore your system without previously backing it up? I've messed my gfx driver and I would love to get it back working.
[14:52] <Anderson> I haven't compiled source code before, so I am not sure what I need. I installed build-essential and that fixed an error, now zlib1g-dev. Is there like a configure-essential package or somethin?
[14:52] <wols_> saddeh: depends how you messed it up exactly

[14:53] <Falling-Inferno> Is there guides for alternative methods of installing Ubuntu? Because I want to use the root of my hard drive to install Ubuntu. Like I think from I guide I found a While back is that you take the files out of the iso and place them on your root of your drive and when you select the HD in BIOS it will boot like a normal CD.

[14:54] <Natha1> Good day all. REAL noob here!! Im trying my best to get Ubuntu 8.04 installed from the CD, however everytime I boot after selecting install from main menu I get Busybox message, really frustrating. ANyone that could provide some assistance to a real novice?
[14:55] <mnemo> Natha1: what is the message you're getting?
[14:55] <amikrop> How can I see which packages do I lack as dependencies, for a certain package to install?
[14:56] <Natha1> Busybox 1.13 then it halts at Imageinz or something like that @ mnemo
[14:56] <seref> s.a
[14:56] <IdleOne> amikrop, synaptic will list them for you when you choose to install a package and ask if you want them marked for installation
[14:56] <mnemo> amikrop: "apt-cache depends package_name"
[14:56] <fabio2> how can i install bin package?
[14:56] <amikrop> IdleOne: I ask, because the system that lacks those dependencies has no Internet connection.
[14:56] <mnemo> Natha1: is it a new computer or an old one?
[14:57] <IdleOne> or do what mnemo  says
[14:57] <Quicksilva> Strange question i know but how do you change the width of indivual cells in openoffice spreadsheet
[14:57] <Anderson> Does apt-file grab individual files, or just show me where the file I am looking for is?
[14:57] <RonLut> ?
[14:57] <Quicksilva> i can change the width of the whole columb but not individual cells :(
[14:58] <IdleOne> amikrop, you can also check on packges.ubuntu.com dowload the packages you need and then move them to the machine with no internet and use dpkg -i package-name to install
[14:58] <Natha1> I get same issue with v7 and v8, although if i boot fedora that works fine. It is a mid range id say mnemo, Its a AMD X2 3800+ with 2048 mem, 500gb Sata2 and NVIDIA 6600GTS SLI (I have reved the 1 card for now)
[14:58] <Anderson> bad question, I could just rtfm

[14:58] <redbull> hi
[14:59] <saddeh> Ok then... How do I deinstall the nvidia packages that came with the original installation?
[14:59] <amikrop> mnemo: So, can I recursively download all of the dependencies of the dependencies of the dependencies... etc.?
[14:59] <mnemo> Natha1: on really new motherboards, I've been busybox choke when it can't find the disk etc... this probably isn't your problem though... so i dunno
[14:59] <redbull> why deinstall nvidia?
[14:59] <fabio2> hello people
[14:59] <saddeh> redbull: getting blackscreen
[14:59] <saddeh> need to reinstall the drivers i suppose
[15:00] <IdleOne> amikrop, well that could be thousands of packages even tens of thousands. might be better off just giving internet access to that machine
[15:00] <mnemo> amikrop: when you use "apt-get install some_package" it will install that package plus automatically also install everything needed to run it (all dependencies)
[15:00] <redbull> saddeh: ic, but i am ok
[15:00] <amikrop> mnemo: No internet connection :-(
[15:00] <saddeh> so you've got no clue? :(
[15:00] <mnemo> amikrop: why cant you get the internet connection up and running??
[15:00] <amikrop> IdleOne: How? ueagle-atm modem did not work, not even the dialup modem.

[15:01] <mnemo> amikrop: when you insert a ubuntu CD onto an ubuntu system it usually says something like "you've inserted a CD with packages on it, want to install stuff from it?" or something like that... i've never tried it but maybe you can use that?
[15:01] <fabio2> I can't configure my wireless
[15:02] <plouffe> Anyone know how many linux viruses there are?
[15:02] <IndyGunFreak> plouffe: probably in the single digits.
[15:02] <IdleOne> plouffe, 1 it's called microsoft corporation
[15:02] <saddeh> nah redbull it isnt... well, trying something, brb.
[15:02] <amikrop> mnemo: Yes, but that package I want to install is not in the Ubuntu CD.
[15:02] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[15:02] <Haavard> okay, found the xconf-file now. theres a section called monitor and a section called screen here. says "default monitor", default screen and so forth. is this what I want to edit?
[15:02] <mnemo> Natha1: maybe you should try downloading a live CD image for the current intreprid ibex and see if that boots... when something doesn't boot the kernel devs usually fix it very fast
[15:02] <plouffe> wikipedia said by the end of 2005 there were 853.
[15:03] <IndyGunFreak> plouffe: i somehow have a hard time believing that.
[15:03] <kuun-lann> i've got a question. I just setup steam with wine but the luminosity  is very low.. i can't see very well in the game. But my screen is setup at full and i can't click on the button adjustement in steam's menu. If someone could help me..
[15:03] <snikedoodle35> aht is a good program to use on ubuntu to adjust gamma/brightness settings
[15:03] <amikrop> Is packages.ubuntu.com down?
[15:03] <IdleOne> amikrop, you are on the internet now. go to packages.ubuntu.com and download the packages you need. burn them to cd. put the cd in the ubuntu machine with no internet and install the packages
[15:03] <kuun-lann> thx snikedoodle35
[15:03] <snikedoodle35> what*
[15:03] <IndyGunFreak> amikrop: looks like it.
[15:04] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu?
[15:04] <IdleOne> amikrop, seems it is right now
[15:04] <Natha1> as i said ﻿mnemo, im preyy much a noob at linux, so not quite sure what you mean buy that.
[15:04] <paul101> hi :)
[15:04] <plouffe> so what's a good virus scanner for linux? At least if you have a virus you want to know.
[15:04] <jsn> I want to use a "sleep corner", so I can move the mouse to the (say) lower right corner of the screen and have my computer go to sleep. What do I need to do?
[15:04] <jsn> plouffe, chkrootkit
[15:04] <IndyGunFreak> !av | plouffe
[15:04] <jsn> plouffe, you any relation to David?
[15:04] <plouffe> LOL
[15:04] <plouffe> I stole his name
[15:05] <snikedoodle35> what is a good program to use to adjust gamma/brightness settings in ubuntu
[15:05] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)
[15:05] <IdleOne> !clamav | plouffe
[15:05] <plouffe> hanks jsn, gonna check it out
[15:05] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)
[15:05] <kuun-lann> snikedoodle35: aht is the entire name of the programm of brightness adjustement?
[15:05] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)
[15:05] <IndyGunFreak> i've never understood why people are so hung up on linux viruses... i guess they're still brainwashed by MS
[15:05] <b0xxy> i dont think theres much point to a firewall
[15:05] <b0xxy> i mean av
[15:05] <IdleOne> redbox, ask again
[15:05] <b0xxy> *
[15:05] <b0xxy> :P
[15:05] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)z/
[15:05] <FloodBot1> b0xxy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:05] <IdleOne> redbull, ask again
[15:06] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)z/
[15:06] <simotempler> if i have an old pc here with an IDE hardrive can i install a new SATGA style one or is the interface totally different
[15:06] <jsn> I don't think linux _has_ "sleep corner" capability!
[15:06] <IndyGunFreak> b0xxy: everyone should have a good hardware firewall w/ SPI in my opinion.. but AV on linux is silly
[15:06] <redbull> hey man, how to energy safing the hard drive in Ubuntu? (like windows)z/z
[15:06] <IdleOne> redbull, one more time. we didnt all see it the last 6 times in 30 seconds
[15:06] <b0xxy> yup, hence why clamav is one of the only AVs for linux
[15:06] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[15:06] <wols_> IndyGunFreak: so are firewalls on linux if the linux machine isn't the router
[15:06] <wols_> or a dedicated firewall
[15:06] <amikrop> IdleOne, mnemo: OK. Let's say I want to install build-essential to a freshly installed system (no internet connection, no packages installed apart from the default ones). What packages would I need to download, to install build-essential to that machine?
[15:06] <snikedoodle35> kuun-lann:that was a typeo i was trying to ask a question.  sry
[15:07] <plouffe> IndyDunFreak, you apparently don't have the facts right about the num ber of viruses. They do exist
[15:07] <simotempler> anyone
[15:07] <IndyGunFreak> wols_: you lost me on that.
[15:07] <redbull> hey what the f*** man
[15:07] <kuun-lann> snikedoodle35: ah ok.. do you know a good programme of gamma/brightness adjustment?
[15:07] <IndyGunFreak> plouffe: i didn't say they don't exist, only an idiot would suggest otherwise, so its not my facts are wrong, its your reading comprehension
[15:07] <redbull> yelllllllllll admin
[15:07] <wols_> plouffe: doesn't mean anything. AV is snakeoil. ALWAYS
[15:07] <IdleOne> amikrop, build-essential is a meta-package. ( a list ) it download several other packages and installs them. you need to download build-essential and the package manager does the rest
[15:07] <plouffe> you said single digits, wikipedia says 853. WHat is silly about getting protection? I don't understand oyur llogic
[15:08] <snikedoodle35> that was my question kuun-lann
[15:08] <alan_cool> vie_vie
[15:08] <kuun-lann> snikedoodle35: ah lol okk sorry ^^ ..
[15:08] <IndyGunFreak> plouffe: if it has tob e explained to you, then you wouldn't get it... go back to #windows
[15:08] <wols_> plouffe: it's not protection in the first place. I don't understand your lack of logic either
[15:08] <Armagguedes> hey
[15:08] <IdleOne> plouffe, you can install ClamAv in ubuntu
[15:08] <redbull> hey what the f*** man
[15:08] <redbull> yelllllllllll admin
[15:08] <wols_> redbull: can you stop that?
[15:08] <redbull> hey what the f*** man
[15:08] <Armagguedes> can someone name me an alternative for Dreamweaver (does it even run on wine)?
[15:09] <plouffe> Doesn't hurt to be safe. and how is it not protection to have a scanner scan your system for insecurities
[15:09] <wols_> IdleOne: can't you do somthing about redbull?
[15:09] <jomaphilo> Bonjour! j'ai réussi à installer ubuntu 7.10. Je suis en train de réinstaller les trucs nécessaires. La par exemple je voudrai installer flahplayer, z'auriez pas une ligne de commande à m'indiquer?
[15:09] <plouffe> now you are silly
[15:09] <redbull> asap
[15:09] <wols_> !fr | jomaphilo
[15:09] <IdleOne> !ops | redbull
[15:09] <jomaphilo> OUPS
[15:09] <jomaphilo> SORRY
[15:09] <wols_> oh, weren't you ops once IdleOne?
[15:09] <snikedoodle35> ﻿do you know a good programme of gamma/brightness adjustment?
[15:09] <jomaphilo> i have spoken in the wrong channel
[15:09] <IdleOne> wols_, for a millisecond in my little universe :)
[15:09] <redbull> HOW TO DEINSTALL UBUNTU?
[15:09] <Falling-Inferno> Can someone tell me how to install Ubuntu using my 2nd hard drive like a CD to install on my first one?
[15:10] <paul101> hello??
[15:10] <Myrtti> redbull: final warning, behave
[15:10] <Myrtti> !attitude | redbull
[15:10] <amikrop> IdleOne: Again, I don't have an Internet connection at the target system, so I have to download the packages manually from here (another Ubuntu system).
[15:10] <wols_> redbull: you delete its partition and reinstall the windows bootloader
[15:10] <wols_> !caps | redbull
[15:10] <IdleOne> amikrop, burn the packages to a cd. this is the third time I tell you. then move the cd to the other machine and install
[15:11] <IndyGunFreak> !install | Falling-Inferno  i imagine its the same as installing from a USB device.
[15:11] <wols_> amikrop: or learn how to use apt-zip
[15:11] <amikrop> IdleOne: Yes, I asked *which* packages?
[15:11] <IdleOne> amikrop, build-essential
[15:11] <wols_> amikrop: packages.ubuntu.com will tell you
[15:11] <redbull> wols_ hey i wanna UNINSTALL UBUNTU not = go back to WINDOWS !!!
[15:11] <redbull> wols_: hey i wanna UNINSTALL UBUNTU not = go back to WINDOWS !!!
[15:11] <Falling-Inferno> Ok..I guess I will try that way. I would use the USB way but my bios doesn't support it.
[15:11] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[15:11] <bazhang> redbull, then do so; use gparted
[15:11] <IdleOne> thank you
[15:11] <wols_> redbull: you cannot uninstall OSes. all you can do is overwrite them with something else
[15:11] <bazhang> oops
[15:12] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: can you not boot a CD?
[15:12] <kuun-lann> snikedoodle35: i found displaycalibrator or kgamma.. id on't know if those prog are very effective but they're near of our search
[15:12] <amikrop> IdleOne: Only? But that is a metapackage.
[15:12] <Michaelsen> hi.... does anyone know about there´ll be any update for the sounnd... since version 7.10 my sound didnt work.. its on my laptop and the card is realtek HD 883
[15:12] <IdleOne> wols_, don't feed the trolls
[15:12] <Myrtti> oops indeed
[15:12] <alan_cool> vie_vie
[15:12] <t35t0r> i installed skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb, but whenever I try to connect I get "P2P connect failed" after the client tries to connect for about a min. I checked iptables and there's nothing in the regular table or the nat table. I also know that I'm able to connect to skype from my windows partition on this same laptop. I checked google and couldn't find anyone with a solution to this problem. Any ideas?
[15:12] <wols_> IdleOne: he was an ass, but he had a sorta legitimate, on topic question and wasn't worse and any other guy in here. not more or less clueless. minus the behaviour of course
[15:12] <scotsguy> hi all
[15:12] <Falling-Inferno> I havn't ever been able to use the CD writer in my computer because It won't cooperate. It required CD-R and i have PLENTY of them.
[15:13] <wols_> t35t0r: ask skype/ebay, not us. it's their software
[15:13] <t35t0r> wols_, i see how it is
[15:13] <IdleOne> amikrop, packages.ubuntu.com is down ATM but it does list what packages are included or needed . ( not sure how to word it ) on the site
[15:13] <Dr_willis_> !skype
[15:13] <scotsguy> im trying to use egg drop on ubuntu but new to it anyone help
[15:13] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: hmm, is your cd writer bad?.. wy won't it co-operate
[15:13] <t35t0r> thank you come again
[15:13] <amikrop> IdleOne: OK. Let's hope it comes back fast.
[15:13] <wols_> scotsguy: why must it be an eggie?
[15:13] <IdleOne> amikrop, it should
[15:14] <Dr_willis_> t35t0r,  you may want to get skpe from the proper ubuntu reposiutories for a start
[15:14] <wols_> IdleOne: e.g amikrop is no better from what I can see from here :)
[15:14] <scotsguy> dont no any other bits
[15:14] <scotsguy> bots
[15:14] <wols_> scotsguy: supybot. MUCH easier to use
[15:14] <IdleOne> wols_, his attitude is what makes him different
[15:14] <scotsguy> u got link
[15:14] <wols_> !info supybot
[15:14] <IdleOne> an arse is an arse. but an arse with patience :)
[15:14] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: Its not the CD Writer I have replaced it with other ones. The problem is when I got to burn anything or open up the blank disk I get the CD Error No Disk in CD Drive
[15:15] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: are you burning it under Ubuntu, or under Windows, or what?
[15:15] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak:Windows for now.
[15:15] <IdleOne> anyway. good day folks
[15:15] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: what program are you using to burn it?
[15:15] <alan_cool> vie_vie
[15:15] <scotsguy> will give it ago
[15:15] <Bruners> is nvidia still supreme compared to ati in performance under linux?
[15:15] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: Nero,MagicISO,ISOBuster.
[15:16] <Dr_willis_> Bruners,  i would say yes.
[15:16] <Falling-Inferno> I have tried 3 Different programs.
[15:16] <Dr_willis_> Bruners,  ati is 'trying' to get better.. but so far ive not seen it.
[15:16] <Falling-Inferno> Let me pop in a CD and try writing my backup programs onto it.
[15:17] <Bruners> Dr_willis_: planning on upgrading my gfx, but not sure what to go for :)
[15:17] <Dr_willis_> Bruners,  i would avoide ati.
[15:17] <wols_> Bruners: ##hardware
[15:17] <IndyGunFreak> ati=plague
[15:17] <Bruners> wols_: this is not a hardware subject
[15:17] <bastid_raZor> Bruners; bleeding edge video cards, i would avoid also.. i use an nVidia 7600GT that has zero issues. plays/does everything i throw at it.
[15:18] <Falling-Inferno> Ok I put in a CD. Its loading and then I will attempt to write to it.
[15:18] <Haavard> darn. gedit wont let me save xconf. don't have permission it says. what to do...?
[15:18] <Falling-Inferno> Use Naplusis or login as root.
[15:19] <perlsyntax> where can i get libdvdcss2 file?
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: ?.. what?.. naplusis?
[15:19] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: The exact error No Disk Inserted into drive D:
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> i thought you were using windows.
[15:19] <perlsyntax> i try apt-get
[15:19] <perlsyntax> that
[15:20] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: oh sorry about that I was just having a flashback of a program I was working on to make my Windows interface better.
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: so you can't burn any files, not just images, that suggests something is wrong w/ your drive.
[15:21] <amikrop> wols_: I have read the man page of apt-zip, but couldn't figure out how does it work. Any hints, please?
[15:21] <Zyna> I'm in the process of setting up a postfix+dovecot with ssl/tls and am experiancing problems while getting amavis to work. when telnetting myself to send a testmail I get amavais: ACCESS DENIED FROM my.pub.ip, policy bank ' ' in /var/log/mail.log the messages then drops and never reaches the inbox... can anyone help?
[15:22] <amikrop> wols_: Now, I am in the system which has the working Internet connection. How can I fetch build-essential and all its dependencies, and put it in /media/disk?
[15:22] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: But I get better detection on Ubuntu than Windows. On Ubuntu I can at least OPEN up blank cd's i havn't tried writing on Ubuntu yet.
[15:22] <mien07> hello guys..how can i install my webcam on my acer laptop..
[15:22] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: can you boot ubuntu?... w/o using the CD drive?
[15:22] <amikrop> wols_: $ apt-zip-list -m /media/disk -p build-essential
[15:22] <amikrop> That didn't really work.
[15:23] <IndyGunFreak> Falling-Inferno: be back in about 20min
[15:23] <Falling-Inferno> IndyGunFreak: Im going to try getting Ubuntu's CD to work on my 2nd hard drive then im going to go Install it and then we can discuss this further.
[15:23] <bastid_raZor> perlsyntax; libdvdcss2 is in the medibuntu repo's.. although i am still using 7.10

[15:23] <perlsyntax> ok

[15:36] <yogahnee> www.ubuntuguide.org was updated recently
[15:36] <drahko> how do i make it so the theme in emerald is the theme i use
[15:36] <MonkeyMan> thank yogahnee
[15:36] <poopuser> thx 4 help
[15:36] <wols_> MonkeyMan: none. those drivers are in the kernel
[15:36] <Shishire> I'm not sure where to ask this, but I guess I'll ask it here.  I'm trying to rotate my monitor.  The dialog in "Screen Resolution" only gives me a "Normal" rotation option, and xrandr -o left gives me errors.  I know for a fact the screen supports rotation, I've done it in windows.
[15:36] <raheem> poopuser: the file u want to edit may the the boot.ini in windows.. check it out
[15:36] <poopuser> ...sort of
[15:37] <poopuser> kk <3
[15:37] <wols_> MonkeyMan: what network card does need drivers?
[15:37] <amikrop> drahko: System->Preferences->Sessions add "emerald --replace".
[15:37] <amikrop> And then, run "emerald --replace".
[15:38] <MonkeyMan> Well the problem lies with a new installation of ubuntu where the ethernet card does not work. The light does not even come on. It worked fine previously so I figure the card is not bad.
[15:38] <wols_> MonkeyMan: answer me
[15:38] <dr_Willis> MonkeyMan,  check dmesg for messages. could beits just not loading the right module.
[15:38] <dr_Willis> MonkeyMan,  you are refering to a wired network card?
[15:39] <drahko> didnt work
[15:39] <MonkeyMan> yes wired

[15:43] <drahko> yes to all
[15:43] <fma243> Question: when ever i start up ubuntu and open a partition it calls it self disk and when i try to rename it i cant cant i make it disk forever without aving to open it again and again
[15:43] <bastid_raZor> drahko; you should have emerald theme manager installed,
[15:43] <drahko> but compiz dont run cuz i cant enable efects
[15:43] <amenado> soothsayer-> you were never able to boot before?
[15:43] <BlackRece> can i setup firestarter to ics with eithernet (one pc) and wirles (two laptops) ?
[15:43] <Dream> !seen DrLame
[15:43] <nerdboy> is there a way for ubuntu to login automaticly when a proper usb flash drive is inserted?
[15:43] <dr_Willis> fma243,  if its a windows ntfs filesystem. give it a proper name under windows.
[15:44] <wols_> BlackRece: you can but you shouldn't. use ipmasq
[15:44] <bastid_raZor> drahko; then you can't use emerald. heh
[15:44] <fma243> nope i m using about 3 ext3 and 2 fat32 partitions
[15:44] <fma243> cant rename
[15:44] <BlackRece> wols: why? whats wrong with it?
[15:44] <drahko> how do i enable the efects the vid drivres installed
[15:45] <dr_Willis> fma243,  use tune2fs to label the ext3's and windows to name the fat32's there may be a way to name them/label them under linux. but  i dont rember how
[15:45] <dr_Willis> fma243,  the label changes wont take affect till a reboot i belive also..
[15:45] <nerdboy> is there a way for ubuntu to login automaticly when a proper usb flash drive is inserted?
[15:45] <fma243> hmm
[15:46] <dr_Willis> nerdboy,  not that i have ever seen
[15:46] <wols_> !info mtools
[15:46] <wols_> fma243: you need that
[15:46] <wols_> drahko: glxinfo |grep direct
[15:46] <nerdboy> dr_Willis, know of anything of the sort?
[15:46] <dr_Willis> I was thinking mtools.. but wasent sure if it could do the job. :)
[15:46] <wols_> !xgl > drahko
[15:46] <snikedoodle35> is there a good program for adjusting display settings in ubuntu
[15:47] <dr_Willis> nerdboy,  nope.  the various encrypted drive howto/guides may have somthing similer. with some keyfile on the usb stick
[15:47] <raheem> fma243: dr_Willis: e2label maybe
[15:47] <wols_> nerdboy: if you find an automounted that executes a user defined script when it mounts, it should be possible
[15:47] <dr_Willis> raheem,  for vfat/fat32? Hmm..
[15:47] <fma243> e2label
[15:47] <wols_> raheem: please stop. just stop
[15:48] <nerdboy> hmmm, like a konsole login?
[15:48] <wols_> fma243: e2label only works for ext2/ext3
[15:48] <fma243> hmm
[15:48] <BlackRece> wols: for a temp solution while linksys router is at the shop, I need my ubuntu box to act like a router, with one ether to my fileserve and wireless wan for 2 surfing laptops. why shouldn't I use ipmasq?

[15:48] <snikedoodle35> ﻿is there a good program for adjusting display settings in ubuntu
[15:49] <fma243> well guys cant i make it so that when ever i boot the computer the disks appear the desktop
[15:49] <soothsayer> In grub, does (hd0,0) refer to the first partition on the first disk or (hd0,1)?
[15:49] <wols_> soothsayer: hd0,0 is hda1
[15:49] <wols_> hda2 is hd0,1
[15:49] <soothsayer> wols_: Thanks
[15:49] <wols_> snikedoodle35: xrandr. I already told you
[15:50] <dr_Willis> fma243,  that can be done with gnome. theres some settings to show drive icons on the desktop
[15:50] <kaliMastah> ello
[15:51] <kaliMastah> hello earthlings
[15:51] <fma243> any hint which settings and which gnome application
[15:51] <kaliMastah> hi fma243
[15:51] <dr_Willis> fma243,  not really. I dont want icons on the desktop.. its clutter
[15:51] <kaliMastah> your into filipino martial arts also?
[15:51] <BlackRece> !ipmasq
[15:52] <dr_Willis> !ics
[15:52] <fma243> well it saves you the trouble of first opening them from computer
[15:52] <dr_Willis> fma243,  i always have file managers open. and i got them in my bookmarks..
[15:52] <BlackRece> !masquerade
[15:52] <gooody> how can i change my ubuntu installation from 64bit to 32bit?
[15:52] <fma243> when ever i try to play a song it says its missing i have to open the drives in a specific order to make my playlists work
[15:52] <vox> gooody: you need to re-install from scratch
[15:53] <bastid_raZor> gooody; you can't. install the 32bit version
[15:53] <t35t0r> is anyone successfully using skype v2 on ubuntu?
[15:53] <fma243> all in all the drives dont appear in /media until i open them from computer
[15:53] <Dr_willis_> fma243,  thats because they are not being mounted untill you access them the first time.
[15:53] <fma243> isnt there a auto mount manager
[15:53] <amenado> BlackRece-> just go ahead and enable ip_forward and use iptables
[15:53] <fma243> !find mount
[15:53] <Shishire> t35t0r I am
[15:54] <kaliMastah> i got an ubuntu version 5.04...can i change it to higher version without having a cd?
[15:54] <t35t0r> Shishire, are you using a wireless connection or how are you connected to the internet?
[15:54] <gooody> ﻿vox: how can i reinstall ubuntu 32bit?
[15:54] <wols_> kaliMastah: yes, BUT you can only upgrade to the next version
[15:54] <fma243> !gnome-mount
[15:54] <amenado> kaliMastah-> yes you can, just download the iso into you hd, and install from there
[15:54] <Shishire> wired ethernet through a router with cable modem
[15:54] <kaliMastah> ahhh ic
[15:54] <wols_> gooody: you've been told: reinstall
[15:54] <kaliMastah> thanks amenado
[15:54] <fma243> should i use gnome mount
[15:54] <kaliMastah> and wols
[15:54] <bastid_raZor> gooody; download the 32bit liveCD .. burn to disk. reboot with disc in. install
[15:55] <t35t0r> Shishire, i guess you've never had this problem then? http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=159621
[15:55] <amenado> kaliMastah-> also you can use  debootstrap to instal (very basic no kernel)l and then keep adding the packages you like to use
[15:55] <troythetechguy> When I run the command "lastlog", it shows user 2 **never logged in**.  However, I know user 2 has logged in as recently as yesterday.  I tried running the command as sudo, thinking other user login was only displayed to root, but this did not make a difference.  Ideas?
[15:55] <amenado> kaliMastah-> just have ample disk space
[15:55] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: can i easily replace the 64bit installation with the 32bit?
[15:55] <Shishire> t35t0r where did you get your copy of skype?
[15:55] <kaliMastah> i got much amenado
[15:55] <raheem> fma243: what i know is, if the correct entry is there in the /etc/fstab then the partition will be mounted automatically when u start ubuntu .
[15:56] <ketamin[e]> why isnt irc letting me change my name
[15:56] <kaliMastah> im a linux noob :D
[15:56] <fma243> um what might the correct entry be
[15:56] <t35t0r> Shishire, I tried both the ubuntu way of installing it and I've tried the deb package from their website, once again see http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=159621 .
[15:56] <bastid_raZor> gooody; yes, you'll actually be formatting the partition the 64 bit version is on.. you will loose what you don't have backed up
[15:56] <kaliMastah> ketamin[e], might be you are using an old xchat
[15:56] <amenado> kaliMastah-> you can setup a new partition just for this new ubuntu..use gparted to repartition or resize your exsisting system
[15:56] <dots> kaliMastah: might be
[15:56] <raheem> pls check the man page for mount
[15:56] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: ok. will reinstalling ubuntu damage the grub?
[15:57] <amenado> goody it should not damage anything, maybe overwrite but not damage
[15:57] <bastid_raZor> gooody; it will rewrite it.. do you have other OSes installed as well?
[15:57] <kaliMastah> ok amenado....ill try
[15:58] <amenado> kaliMastah-> its also wise to have a separate partition for /home directory , that way for upgrade like this, you can retain your old /home
[15:58] <Shishire> t35t0r sorry, have no idea
[15:58] <snk00sj> cab anyone tell me howto get the latest version of python-imdbpy on your computer ? the one in the hardy repository is 3.1 or something, i need 3.5
[15:58] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: i have windows xp. mybe i can manage to reformat the ubuntu partitions using partition magic but don't know what happens next with the grub boot manager.
[15:59] <kaliMastah> nah ive recently installed this one
[15:59] <drahko> i didnt get your pm
[15:59] <Shishire> I'm trying to rotate my monitor.  The dialog in "Screen Resolution" only gives me a "Normal" rotation option, and xrandr -o left gives me errors.  I know for a fact the screen supports rotation, I've done it in windows.
[15:59] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: is it ok to reformat the linux partition using partition magic in windows XP?
[15:59] <bastid_raZor> gooody; ubuntu will see the other OSes and add them to your grub. there should be no problems with the grub and if there is grub isn't allt hat hard to fix.
[15:59] <wols_> !errors | Shishire
[16:00] <bastid_raZor> gooody; i would let the liveCD do that. but that is just me.
[16:00] <Shishire> !pastebin
[16:00] <raheem> fma243: could be like this: /dev/hda1 		/ 		ext2 		defaults 		1 1
[16:00] <kaliMastah> lol i cant see any gparted
[16:01] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: thanks for the help.
[16:01] <DRebellion> snk00sj, 3.6 is available in intrepid, perhaps request a backport to hardy-backports?
[16:01] <bastid_raZor> gooody; good luck.
[16:01] <raheem> fma243:  ubuntu uses UUID instead of /dev/hda1 though
[16:01] <Shishire> I'm trying to rotate my monitor.  The dialog in "Screen Resolution" only gives me a "Normal" rotation option, and xrandr -o left gives me errors.  I know for a fact the screen supports rotation, I've done it in windows.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720/
[16:01] <drahko> ok i installed my vid drivers but i cant enable efects
[16:01] <trident__> i am having trouble renaming an ext3 usb drive... does anyone know how to do it?
[16:01] <snk00sj> DRebellion: that would take a long time wouldn't it ?
[16:02] <snk00sj> i need it now :)
[16:02] <sandi> hai
[16:02] <bastid_raZor> drahko; .xsession-errors should give you hints as to why
[16:02] <DRebellion> snk00sj, you wouldn't get it right away. Of course, you could always install the package from intrepid, but that could break the system in the future.
[16:02] <snk00sj> couldn't i like install it from source myself ?
[16:02] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: thank you. just another preparatory question, how can i fix grub if ever i encounter problems after the reinstallation or formatting of the linux partition?
[16:02] <snk00sj> i don't have experience with python at all
[16:03] <DRebellion> snk00sj, you probably could install from source
[16:03] <snk00sj> DRebellion: i tried that, unfortunately, out of a the box was just hope : http://www.pastebin.be/12495
[16:03] <bastid_raZor> !grub > gooody
[16:04] <bastid_raZor> gooody; the howto's will show you everything you need to know.
[16:04] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: is grub part of the linux partition?
[16:05] <DRebellion> snk00sj, wow, that's a lot of WARNING!s
[16:05] <bastid_raZor> gooody; it can be or it can be put on another partition. you will actually have the option to do so during the install
[16:05] <snk00sj> DRebellion: indeed, strange thing is i have cutils installed
[16:06] <bastid_raZor> gooody; grub itself is from linux yes.. in that aspect
[16:06] <nerdboy> wols_, libpam-usb is a better diea for what i needed, incase someone ever asked again
[16:06] <bastid_raZor> work calls..
[16:06] <wols_> nerdboy: nice
[16:06] <felix_> I have gotten dual screens working involving my toshiba satellite pro a1000 (psaace) (native 1280x800@60) and a samsung LE37S8 lcd tv (native 1360x768@60) but I can't get either of them to run a resolution higher than 1024x768. I'm out of ideas and in great need of help.
[16:06] <snk00sj> python is a parsed language right, no installation required, couldn't i just move the new libs (from the src file) over the new ones ?
[16:06] <amenado> trident__-> if you know how udev works, you can look in /etc/udev/rules.d/65-persistent-storage.rules it is something am just getting warm with
[16:06] <bastid_raZor> gooody; good luck. this channel has a wealth of knowledgable people. enjoy
[16:07] <wols_> snk00sj: lots of it is written in C. like the python lib itself
[16:07] <wols_> bastid_raZor: you crack me up
[16:07] <amenado> snk00sj-> it has an install.py  to be run to install the supporting libs and classes in proper directories
[16:07] <gooody> ﻿bastid_raZor: thanks a lot.
[16:07] <wols_> gooody: some files of grub are on the linux partition

[16:08] <miguelrsilva> hi. i'm having trouble to install ubuntu my machine. i believe it's due to my sata disk. the disk is not foundo douring the installation. is there a specific version ubuntu that will work for me?
[16:08] <snk00sj> amenado: so the way to work should be to get that setup script running right
[16:08] <amenado> felix_-> just out of curiousity, from two separate video cards? or singel one with dual outputs?
[16:08] <GarulfoUnix> Hi everyone
[16:08] <amenado> snk00sj-> yes
[16:09] <snk00sj> so "Unable to compile the "cutils" C module." would mean i need the cutils c files right
[16:09] <alraune> :miguels...  can'T be found with live cd ?
[16:09] <amenado> miguelrsilva-> i have heard those before and have not use sata myself, what happens when you try to install and you get to partitioning disk? what shows up?
[16:09] <gooody> ﻿wols_: is it ok to delete the linux partition? i don't want to reinstall both of my OS in case grub won't allow me to boot to windows after reformatting linux partition.
[16:10] <persia> Hi all.  I just wanted to point out the libpam-usb package, in case anyone is asking about how to automatically log in with a USB flash drive.
[16:10] <wols_> you will reinstalling grub too when installing fresh
[16:10] <felix_> howto dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg including resolution, syncrates etc.
[16:11] <amenado> persia-> that worked for you? curious as to what happens when you dismount the usb dongle? your session gets killed?
[16:11] <gooody> ﻿wols_: can i install grub from a cd?
[16:11] <wols_> gooody: guess how you installed your current grub
[16:11] <Shishire> I'm trying to rotate my monitor.  The dialog in "Screen Resolution" only gives me a "Normal" rotation option, and xrandr -o left gives me errors.  I know for a fact the screen supports rotation, I've done it in windows.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720/
[16:11] <wols_> gooody: it didn't come from thin air
[16:12] <miguelrsilva> amenado: it doesn't find the drive. asks me if I can tel the driver to install the drive. its before partitions
[16:12] <Marcus> OI, quem pode me ajudar em relação a arquivs rmvb ?
[16:12] <wols_> Shishire: what driver?
[16:12] <wols_> Marcus: english only
[16:12] <Shishire> nvidia binary
[16:12] <Shishire> latest I think

[16:24] <bazhang> Voth1981, for ubuntu yes

[16:24] <Voth1981> Yeah Ubuntu 8.04
[16:24] <indio> In Dovecot, I can't receive messages from external servers.
[16:25] <trident__> i just set up an external drive in ext3 format.  the drive should be 465g but it instead it is 435g and it says that 30g is being used, but it isn't.  is there some reason it shows up like this?
[16:26] <magnetron> trident__, because 30GB is used?
[16:26] <bluesfreak72> I have a Gateway Solo 1450 laptop that has Ubuntu 8.04 and the OS intermittently locks on it.  It doesn't happen in Windows or in Debian when I had it on here.  I have already run memtest86+ and it came back fine.  I'm not sure how to proceed with it.
[16:27] <Nimblefinger> Anyone got the time to help me try and setup my ubuntu server connect to the internet through a wireless connection? It recognises the router I am trying to connect it to, and iwconfig brings up its ESSID and Access Point properly, I get the error 'SIOCADDRT: No such process. Failed ti bring up wlan0.'  when i run ifup wlan0, but, after doing so what I said about iwconfig appears
[16:27] <pucko-> trident__, it might be reserved space for root. you can change it with tune2fs

[16:28] <gway9000> maek huh?
[16:29] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | Voth1981
[16:29] <pucko-> trident__, read some manpage, or you can just try tune2fs -m 0 /dev/<disk> and see if free space changes
[16:29] <maek> gway9000, 8.04.1
[16:29] <bazhang> maek, sometime next week likely
[16:29] <maek> thanks bazhang
[16:29] <Voth1981> when i use the alternate Iso it gets stuck at step 3
[16:29] <bazhang> np
[16:29] <s3a> im trying to compile but its not working can sum1 help me (ill post error)?
[16:29] <Voth1981> just after configuring the KB layout
[16:29] <IndyGunFreak> Voth1981: what t ype of media are you using and how fast are you burning the ISOs?
[16:30] <Voth1981> I have burned them to CDr's at 4x
[16:30] <IndyGunFreak> Voth1981: dunno.. very strange.
[16:30] <bazhang> Voth1981, did you md5 the iso
[16:30] <dkkong> I couldn't get my onboard soundcard to detect, so I turned it off in the bios and installed a PCI card. The card is detected via lspci, but still no sound. Help?
[16:30] <Voth1981> yeah and it passed fine
[16:31] <IndyGunFreak> dkkong: what kind of card did you buy?
[16:31] <Voth1981> it looks like the alternate is not finding the HDD mount
[16:31] <dkkong> IndyGunFreak: Creative Labs. It worked on my old Hardy computer fine
[16:32] <IndyGunFreak> dkkong: well, i didn't know creative only made 1 sound card, should be pretty easy to google the answer
[16:32] <s3a> are the three steps to compiling: 1) ./configure 2) make 3) sudo make install  ?
[16:33] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: unless you count step 0--- building dependencies
[16:33] <sayers> s3a, not always
[16:33] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: how do u no if there are needed dependencies
[16:33] <IndyGunFreak> and some programs don't need ./configure, they just make and install.
[16:33] <mad_max02> how come display drivers are never updated in repositories ?? only in new releases of ubuntu ???
[16:33] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: you'll get errors when you ./configure   what aer you trying to compile?
[16:34] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: o ya i got error on ./configure and im trying to compile cinelerra
[16:34] <trident__> pucko-, great thanks
[16:34] <MattJ> mad_max02: For stability, only security or serious bugs are fixed
[16:34] <gway9000> base
[16:34] <bazhang> gway9000, you have a support question?
[16:34] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: and i cd-ed to directory in case ull ask
[16:34] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: never heard of that.. do you have build-essential installed?
[16:34] <gway9000> nah am good
[16:35] <Voth1981> i will try the alternate again and get the exacte error message then check back in with you all. Thanks for the advice so far
[16:35] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: o ya i dont think i have that on my laptop
[16:35] <kaliMastah> how to install gparted in version 5.04?
[16:35] <mad_max02> MattJ, so basically if I want or need to install newer ver of drivers I gotta do it manually ??
[16:35] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: well that woudl help a lot... sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:35] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: which is wat im using now and cinelerra is a professional video editor like adobe premiere pro for windows
[16:36] <bazhang> kaliMastah, ver 5.04 of ubuntu?
[16:36] <moon_> There is any program fix hard on ubuntu ??
[16:37] <cyzie> hi, i have a few package from debian and install in ubuntu. is there a concern on this? have this discuss before?
[16:37] <MattJ> mad_max02: What do you need the new version for?
[16:37] <bazhang> cyzie, which packages
[16:37] <IndyGunFreak> i' not sure you could install anything in 5.04
[16:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[16:37] <adaran> anyone else experience the hardy lock-ups?
[16:37] <adaran> (kernel panic?)
[16:38] <cyzie> debian package which i build my own.
[16:38] <IndyGunFreak> nope
[16:38] <bazhang> cyzie, need more info.
[16:39] <SithRee> anyone gotten a nvidia 6600 to work with nvidia-glx-new?  I just get a black screen and can't get to a console
[16:39] <cyzie> my package is package based on debian new maintainer guide. I have install those pacakge in hardy. Now i would like to know what is the consequences in doing this and has someone discuss this before.
[16:41] <troythetechguy>  When I run the command "lastlog", it shows user 2 **never logged in**.  However, I know user 2 has logged in as recently as yesterday.  I tried running the command as sudo, thinking other user login was only displayed to root, but this did not make a difference.  Ideas?  I'm running Fedora in VM and this works fine, but under Ubuntu user 2 is shown as never logged in.
[16:42] <IndyGunFreak> SithRee: nvidia 6600 seems restricted driver mgr would run it fine
[16:42] <Spaztastic> SithRee: My brother had the same problem last night, Cyphase helped me fix it or him. He said to hit ALT+F6 to get to a terminal so that you can apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new then you will be using the default fallback video drivers. Then you use synaptic package manager to lock the old driver so it doesn't happen again.
[16:43] <mad_max02> MattJ, for the new 9800GX2
[16:43] <SithRee> what do you mean 'lock the old driver?
[16:44] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: ok i still have a problem
[16:45] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: i cd-ed to directory then ./configure and got a problem, u want me to pastebin it?
[16:45] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: well that doesn't surprise me given your detailed explanation of what card you have
[16:45] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: oh wait, yeah sure, go ahead
[16:45] <chombee_> Is there a way to stop compiz from fading out the title bars of unfocused windows? I don't like that
[16:45] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: wait did u confuse me wit sum1 else?
[16:45] <h-get> Why my pc do not search my network adapter. But he is.
[16:45] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: yes, go ahead and paste it.
[16:46] <h-get> jo
[16:46] <BlackRece> am i logged in?
[16:46] <h-get> exit
[16:46] <IndyGunFreak> BlackRece: maybe
[16:47] <bazhang> mad_max02, your best bet is envyng-gtk at this point
[16:47] <Per> anyone have this issue with swedish characters? I get Ã¥Ã¤Ã¶ when I write åäö at flash sites. I have removed and re-installed Flash on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
[16:48] <BlackRece> am i back?
[16:48] <BlackRece> Yeah!! ipmasq hasn't killed me!!!
[16:48] <IndyGunFreak> you didn't ever leave
[16:48] <gway9000> BlackRece: no i cant see you
[16:48] <BlackRece> gway: if i smile, will that help?! lol
[16:48] <bazhang> Per, this is in firefox? you might try the quick locale switcher if so, a ff addon
[16:49]  * BlackRece smiles and blinds the room with his pearly whites!!
[16:49] <Per> bazhang: yes, it is in firefox. I have noticed the issue at www.smhi.se and in google talk
[16:49] <etronik> hello all - suggestions for a bittorrent client that has web control panel ?? so I can run it in a headless ubuntu server ?
[16:50] <Per> bazhang: quick locale switcher, where can I find that one?
[16:50] <c0nn0r> hi
[16:50] <bazhang> etronik, if by 'web control panel' you mean the terminal, then try rtorrent
[16:51] <beilabs> Hey guys, anyone have any idea why open office would crash every single time I try and save a document, writer, calc are all affected
[16:51] <bazhang> Per, the mozilla addons site accessible from firefox extensions menu item
[16:51] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: http://pastebin.com/d3ba49cb8
[16:51] <etronik> bazhang: terminal ?? no no that hardcore :-)
[16:51] <Per> bazhang: fyi - when I press CTRL before I write åäö at the same sites it works just fine.
[16:51] <indio> Can someone help me configure my mail server?
[16:52] <IndyGunFreak> s3a: have no idea what means...
[16:52] <Spaztastic> SithRee: using synaptic you find the nvidia-glx-new package, then press CTRL+E then you choose the package for hardy not hardy-security or hardy-updates just hardy then hit force version
[16:52] <Per> bazhang, I will have a look at addon in the firefox menu
[16:53] <s3a> IndyGunFreak: o, ok, thx anyway
[16:53] <bazhang> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1333 Per
[16:53] <Per> bazhang, ah, great.... I will test that one.

[16:56] <Alilo> hello everybody
[16:56] <Alilo> plz help me
[16:56] <Spaztastic> SithRee: I have no idea, just telling you what cyphase told me to do last night.

[16:58] <Spaztastic> SithRee: Too lock the package so you don't get the update again just select the nvidia-glx-new and go to Package -> Lock Version after it's installed.

[17:03] <Drk_Guy> np mftom
[17:04] <Nimblefinger> ﻿Anyone got the time to help me try and setup my ubuntu server connect to the internet through a wireless connection? It recognises the router I am trying to connect it to, and iwconfig brings up its ESSID and Access Point properly, I get the error 'SIOCADDRT: No such process. Failed ti bring up wlan0.'  when i run ifup wlan0, but, after doing so what I said about iwconfig appears
[17:04] <Jab> Apps take a while before loading. That is how slow.
[17:04] <CWii> Nimblefinger, Wireless is hit or miss.
[17:04] <Jab> The computer I have it installed on has some age to it.
[17:04] <Alilo> I found a driver written but I couldn't load it
[17:04] <Alilo> :(
[17:04] <Nimblefinger> how so CWii?
[17:04] <CWii> Well wait for somebody
[17:04] <amenado> Jab-> you have enuff ram memory?
[17:05] <CWii> Nimblefinger, For example I cannot for the love of god get my wireless card to work.
[17:05] <Nimblefinger> ahh
[17:05] <BagleBoof> with GParted how do I resize sda 2 extended? is there some special mode i need to boot into?
[17:05] <Jab> I figure because it only has 256 megs ram. That is what slows it down.
[17:05] <CWii> Theres not much we can do with non-open source drivers
[17:05] <Nimblefinger> thing is I don't know if its just me not configuring anything right
[17:05] <CWii> BagleBoof, Bope.
[17:05] <rausb0> CWii: which chipset?
[17:05] <CWii> Nope*
[17:05] <amenado> Nimblefinger-> you seem to have not loaded a working driver for your wifi
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> BagleBoof You cant.. unless you remove all partitions in the extended
[17:05] <CWii> rausb0, Broadcom 43xx
[17:06] <Jab> Thought about turning off the compiz stuff if there is a way to do it.
[17:06] <rausb0> CWii: some of them are supported by the b43 driver (kernel >=2.6.24)
[17:06] <CWii> Jab, Turing it off would help :)
[17:06] <Jab> I remember older versions of ubuntu rocking on this box.
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> CWii which bcm43xx do you have..
[17:06] <CWii> rausb0, not mine.
[17:06] <Drk_Guy> Jab: metacity --replace turn em off, compiz --replace turn em on
[17:06] <Nimblefinger> amenado - I managed to get the card to ping something earlier
[17:06] <CWii> Motorola WPCI810G
[17:06] <Nimblefinger> I will try to retrace my steps
[17:06] <BagleBoof> Jack_Sparrow - what about resizing just sda 6?
[17:07] <CWii> I think it's 4323.
[17:07] <c0nn0r> anyone know how to do a excel-like currency formatting [$    5.00] in OO.org-Calc (which is [   $ 5.00]) ?
[17:07] <amenado> Nimblefinger-> thats good news..now check if you have an ip address and good route table (gateway )
[17:07] <Jack_Sparrow> BagleBoof I would need to see your fdisk -l
[17:08] <BlackRece> help
[17:08] <BlackRece> iu'm trying to get my ubuntu box to act like a firewall(/webserver) with eth1 and internet and eth0 AND wifi0 as internal network, have used firestarter and ipmasq and I still can't see the internet
[17:08] <amenado> Jab-> and gnome-session  puts you back in gnome i believe
[17:08] <BagleBoof> ok
[17:08] <Neo_The_User> So the Firefox in Ubuntu 8.04 is not release candidate 1?
[17:08] <Alilo> i'm sorry
[17:08] <Neo_The_User> Blackrace try firestarter?
[17:08] <Neo_The_User> or KMyFirewall
[17:08] <whyking> hi
[17:08] <BagleBoof> Jack_Sparrow, how do i do that?
[17:08] <CWii> Alilo, Just don't pm people unless we ask.
[17:08] <Nimblefinger> ach now its saying network is unreachable
[17:09] <rausb0> CWii: if the pci-id is 14e4:4323, then it is not supported (just checked with 2.6.25.7)
[17:09] <Neo_The_User> KMyFirewall for more advanced
[17:09] <Neo_The_User> Firestarter for simple and easy
[17:09] <Jab> Thanks folks. Gotta run. Loads of school to get accomplished today. Gonna complete the ball of wax on this machine so I can play and work too. lol
[17:09] <CWii> rausb0, Yep. That's it.
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> CWii BCM43xx  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[17:09] <Nimblefinger> oh no
[17:09] <amenado> BlackRece-> okay lets do this.. as root    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[17:09] <CWii> I'm running a ethernet cable now.
[17:09] <Alilo> i'm new i don't  know rules here
[17:09] <whyking> I tried everything, but on my hardy, flash 10 (and 9 also) is not playing any sound from firefox nor opera..  I installed libflashsupport and it used to work but suddenly, it stopped.. I can't get it back to work.. any tips?
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> BagleBoof sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)        but I am not going to be here long
[17:09] <Alilo> :)
[17:10] <Nimblefinger> just run dhclient, and its letting me ping other ips on my network
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !coc
[17:10] <Neo_The_User> I always wondered,  wat would happen if you had an i386 machine and tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64?
[17:10] <amenado> BlackRece-> then  sudo  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[17:10] <BlackRece> right, I lost connection for a bit so 1st: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward right?
[17:10] <Nimblefinger> how do i find out If i have a good ip and route table?
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Neo_The_User It would not work
[17:10] <amenado> BlackRece-> yes
[17:10] <Neo_The_User> Blackrace firestarter?
[17:11] <Neo_The_User> Blackrece sorry
[17:11] <amenado> BlackRece-> then make sure your clients have an ip address and uses your server as the gateway
[17:11] <Nimblefinger> running route brings up two entries, is that likely to be ok?
[17:11] <amenado> !who | Nimblefinger
[17:12] <Neo_The_User> ubottu KMyFirewall
[17:12] <Neo_The_User> ubottu firestarter
[17:12] <Vixus> A daft question, I know but is there any way of accessing my windows partition registry through ubuntu? :P
[17:12] <amenado> Nimblefinger-> you can ping the gateway and can pass traffic trhough the said gateway..thats how you find out
[17:13] <Neo_The_User> In Firestarter, how do you chose a UDP port without opening a TCP port?
[17:13] <CWii> Vixus, Not that I know of.
[17:13] <Vixus> Darn, that means reboots..
[17:13] <amenado> Vixus-> yes, you lauch the remoted desktop, logon to your XP and whola you have acess to registry with the correct commands
[17:13] <Vixus> amenado, Wha?
[17:13] <Nimblefinger> hmm, well i can ping the gateway given in the route table
[17:13] <CWii> amenado, It's on the same machine.
[17:13] <amenado> Vixus-> read what i typed
[17:13] <mcquaid> anyone use epiphany? I can't change any values in about:config.  wondering if someone else could try
[17:14] <FFForever> Anyone else have this problem?, GMail will NOT load the loading bar gets to the end and stops..... i cant check my mail... :'(
[17:14] <Vixus> amenado, but XP isn't running..
[17:14] <Nimblefinger> amenado: how can I check if i can pass traffic through the gateway?
[17:14] <BlackRece> amenado: i thought my ubuntu inherited DHCP from cable router?
[17:14] <amenado> Vixus-> if same machine --then nope
[17:14] <Vixus> alright
[17:14] <amenado> Vixus then you can not even access the registry if XP is not running
[17:14] <CWii> Sorry :(
[17:14] <mod_cure> how can I configure ubutnu so the login screen does not come up when i start/restart my computer as I'm the only one that uses it ?

[17:15] <rausb0> !pt | Carlos
[17:15] <Nimblefinger> oh that worked, sorry amenado i was putting http:// in front of it

[17:16] <CWii> BlackRece, su is diabled on unbuntu
[17:16] <FFForever> CWii, it only works 1 out of 5 loads for me....
[17:16] <BlackRece> tried sudo first, then su

[17:17] <BlackRece> o i c
[17:17] <BagleBoof> is it normal to have 3 swap partitions?
[17:17] <amenado> BlackRece-> so as sudo, it will prompt for password
[17:17] <beastax> hi, i hope someone can help me - i installed ubuntu then windows on seperate hard drives
[17:17] <FFForever> BlackRece, you need to use sudo.... as there is no root password
[17:17] <CWii> BlackRece, Type yours.... 9.9
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> BagleBoof no it is not
[17:17] <mcquaid> mod_cure, it's under security tab
[17:17] <beastax> now neither will boot, i am using a livecd right now
[17:17] <alraune> :BagleBoff no
[17:17] <beastax> i followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:17] <amenado> BagleBoof-> you can have 3 but not normal
[17:17] <CWii> BagleBoof, Just one is good enough.
[17:17] <mgrant> BagleBoof: if they're on separate disks, I think they get striped (=faster)
[17:18] <CWii> Mine is always emtpy.
[17:18] <CWii> .me has 2BG ram
[17:18] <beastax> now i get "Error 17: cannot mount selected partition@
[17:18] <beastax> -@+"
[17:18] <amenado> anyone recall what are the few strings in front of the ssh_host_dsa_key.pub is?  like  wigman.uropa.com,192.168.1.1 ssh_dss
[17:19] <Nimblefinger> ok so...can anyone tell me how i would say, download a file from the internet in the command line, or transfer files between two ubuntu computers using the same router
[17:19] <bastid_raZor> CWii; /me would be the correct way to emote :)
[17:19] <mcquaid> beastax, don't have time to get into it, but the first thing to do is make sure the partitions are intact.  boot off the live cd and see if you can see all your drives in 'places'
[17:19] <BagleBoof> what dose it mean to "unmount logical partitions"
[17:19] <Hy71194> hello
[17:19] <BagleBoof> ?
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> CWii Did you see the bottom of tha page on your bcm43xx card?
[17:19] <Hy71194> i cant wait for next ubuntu release :D
[17:19] <beastax> mcquaid, yes i can
[17:19] <amenado> Nimblefinger-> man wget, man scp
[17:19] <mcquaid> beastax, if your partitions are intact it's just a matter of the boot loader pointing to the partitions
[17:19] <Nimblefinger> thanks amenado :)
[17:20] <beastax> i tried that according to the instructions at that link i posted, but now get error 17
[17:20] <CWii> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not going to try.
[17:20] <CWii> Jack_Sparrow, I'm just using ethernet now.
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> BagleBoof logical partitions are in extended to get past the 4 primary partition limit which is why you cant resize the extended with logicals in place
[17:20] <bazhang> CWii, works for me is not helpful.
[17:21] <CWii> bazhang, \(o.o)/
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> CWii I have gotten every bcm43 to work by using that page
[17:21] <aborym> is there a gui tool to mount an nfs share?
[17:21] <beastax> 'find /boot/grub/stage1' returned ' (hd2,0)'
[17:21] <rausb0> Jack_Sparrow: there are many bcm43xx types
[17:21] <CWii> Jack_Sparrow, Ethernet > wireless
[17:21] <CWii> Jack_Sparrow, I'm using ethernet now
[17:21] <AndrewGearhart> how do I add fonts (similar to windows' copy it into c:\windows\fonts) ... ?
[17:21] <mcquaid> beastax, do you get the grub menu and when you select an OS to boot it then fails?
[17:22] <alraune> :aborym yes, the places icon>network..
[17:22] <rausb0> Jack_Sparrow: i bet you don't have 14e4:4323
[17:22] <beastax> so i ran 'root (hd2,0)' then 'setup (hd2)
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0 I am aware and that page lists almost all of them.. if you care to look
[17:22] <bazhang> !fonts > AndrewGearhart
[17:22] <amenado> no one can remember? what are the few strings in front of the ssh_host_dsa_key.pub is?  like  wigman.uropa.com,192.168.1.1 ssh_dss
[17:22] <aborym> alraune, my share isnt showing up there
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0 Which one is that?
[17:22] <beastax> mcquaid, i dont get a selection screen, i get that error then if i press a key i get some boot options, all which return me to the same error
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0 the 943.. is not the same as any of the bcm43
[17:23] <WalloO> anybofy knows how to get the current read/write speed on a hard drive?
[17:23] <bazhang> http://www.cern.ch/security/ssh/man/sshd.8.html amenado you mean this?
[17:23] <alraune> :aborym you got a network folder on a second machine ?
[17:24] <beastax> mcquaid, sorry i just read my garbled sentence, did that make sense?
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0 If you have a 943 then I have two other links that I have used with success
[17:24] <rausb0_> Jack_Sparrow: ndiswrapper, oh well...
[17:24] <mcquaid> for the most part, so you get what error exactly?
[17:24] <aborym> alraune: uh, the folder needs to be named 'network'? I have a folder on the desktop that I added as a shared folder for nfs
[17:24] <rausb0_> Jack_Sparrow: i am talking of real support
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0_ that alternative is to buy a supported card
[17:25] <erUSUL> WalloO: sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdx
[17:25] <rausb0_> Jack_Sparrow: i have a supported card. CWii doesn't have one
[17:25] <Hy71194> ./names
[17:25] <beastax> mcquaid, "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition"
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0_ Do you have a point
[17:25] <amenado> bazhang-> odd that that manual specifies from or command  but once i saw just had  those strings without a preceeding  command or from=
[17:25] <user234> hi, i have ubutnu 7.10 and want to deaktivate this 3d compiz-fusion and want a windowmanaher(?) wich needs less performace, how can i do that or what are good keywords for google?
[17:26] <mcquaid> ok so that sounds like it's not even finding grub.  do you have only one harddrive?
[17:26] <user234> i also want to keep gnome-panel
[17:26] <rausb0_> Jack_Sparrow: just wanted to make clear not each 43xx is supported
[17:26] <WalloO> erUSUL, thank you
[17:26] <bazhang> amenado, sorry not to know more about that than a man page
[17:26] <erUSUL> WalloO: no problem
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> user234 http://xwinman.org/
[17:27] <beastax> mcquaid, no, i have 3 sata drives: 250gb ext3 (ubuntu), 250gb ntfs (windows) and 500gb ntfs (storage)
[17:27] <BlackRece> sudo shell worked! ta for that. shame the eithernet cable wasn't plugged into the other pc! 0_o!
[17:27] <WalloO> erUSUL, but this give the hd max speed, not the current hard drive read/write state? right?
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> rausb0_ But they can be made to work to some degree
[17:27] <mcquaid> beastax, ok what might have happened, is grub is written to the boot sector of one of the other drives specified in your bios
[17:28] <erUSUL> WalloO: yep; i missunderstood you question you want current io speed?
[17:28] <beastax> mcquaid, ok, not sure i follow...
[17:28] <mcquaid> this actually happened to me before, i mistakenly wrote grub to my other drive, and i just changed the boot order in the bios and it worked.
[17:28] <beastax> so where do i go from here (sorry im a total noob to this
[17:28] <WalloO> erUSUL, yes, I want to know how much the disk is used to read/write in real time
[17:28] <user234> Jack_Sparrow, thx! can u tell me waht the std windowmanager for gnome was, before compiz?
[17:29] <bazhang> user234, metacity
[17:29] <mcquaid> ok the boot loader you had there before was for windows, now ubuntu puts it's own bootloader so it can have an option for linux and windows to boot. it's normally on hd0. the first drive
[17:29] <Alilo> I want to add printer Canon lbp-800 on Ubuntu Gusty, how to do it??
[17:29] <beastax> mcquaid, if it helps, in my ubuntu drive i have a /boot/grub
[17:29] <erUSUL> WalloO: "vmstat 1" bi and bo colummns give current overall io as blocks Input Output
[17:29] <mcquaid> but it might have got written to hd1 etc
[17:29] <beastax> mcquaid, i installed ubuntu first, then xp
[17:29] <mcquaid> ah
[17:29] <mcquaid> ok
[17:30] <mcquaid> so xp overwrote the boot loader, you lost the ability to boot ubuntu, tried the guide and now can't boot either
[17:30] <beastax> yeah
[17:30] <user234> hm metacity is already installed, but how do i deaktivate this compiz-fusion?
[17:30]  * beastax sips gin
[17:30] <erUSUL> user234: System>Preferences >Appearance last tab
[17:30] <bazhang> alt f2 metacity --replace user234
[17:30] <WalloO> erUSUL, thank you. Do you know if it's possible to have such information for each drive?
[17:31] <mcquaid> ok well that guide is correct. i've mucked grub a few times over the years. how it is should work
[17:31] <amenado> WalloO-> there is the hdparm command but you may find some of the options awfully dangerous
[17:31] <erUSUL> WalloO: no sure sorry there is something called blktrace but i dunno if it is hard to set up
[17:31] <user234> is metacity --replace a persitant change?
[17:31] <bazhang> user234, just set to none in appearances tab
[17:31] <WalloO> amenado, if I can avoid sudo, I'm happy
[17:32] <WalloO> erUSUL, thank you
[17:32] <beastax> mcquaid, so find /boot/grub/stage1
[17:32] <beastax>  (hd2,0)
[17:32] <amenado> WalloO-> you cant, requires root priviledge to get to i/o stuff
[17:32] <perlsyntax> Where do i download Cedega ?
[17:32] <beastax> mcquaid, setup (hd2)
[17:32] <aborym> perlsyntax, transgaming.com
[17:32] <Alilo>  I want to add printer Canon lbp-800 on Ubuntu Gusty, how to do it??
[17:32] <bazhang> perlsyntax, it is payware
[17:32] <beastax> oops, preceed with root (hd2,0)
[17:33] <beastax> that should fix it?  cause thats what i did...
[17:33] <perlsyntax> i have to pay for it no thanks
[17:33] <bazhang> Alilo, did you read all the printing links we gave you
[17:33] <user234> ok , thx worked fine :) but metacity isnt that much faster i hoped :D
[17:34] <SeaPhor> I have a HPOfficeJet 5610 and prints fine, but what do i use for scanning?
[17:34] <WalloO> amenado, so I will try to find the safest way for my users
[17:34] <Alilo> yes it say that is not a supported printer but somebody can add it i coudn't do it
[17:34] <mcquaid> ok i'm not sure why it's finding it on hd2, but yeah seems you have written it there. you can try this as a test and leave it if you like: change the drive boot order (for which sata harddrive boots first) i bet you it's hd0
[17:34] <user234> can i use <your windowsmanager> --replace with all managers?
[17:34] <mcquaid> change it to your last one, hd2
[17:34] <bazhang> SeaPhor, the !xsane seems to have some links

[17:35] <Muntrue> Hello everyone, I need some help determening wich version of Ubuntu 8.04 i need to get (x86 or 64Bit)
[17:35] <Hy71194> ?+z
[17:36] <mcquaid> well, your right most wont show you that.  but you only have 2 other drives, hd2 should be your third in the list in your bios
[17:36] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: 32bit procosseor or 64bit?
[17:36] <mcquaid> you have a 50/50 of getting it right ;)(
[17:36] <Hy71194> get x86
[17:36] <Hy71194> most pcs are 86
[17:36] <beastax> hehe
[17:36] <mcquaid> try that and see if it boots, i'll wait here
[17:36] <beastax> will it break anything if i get it wrong?
[17:36] <beastax> ok, brb
[17:36] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Yea im not sure, i know ive had issues with this laptop before.
[17:36] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: how old is the lap top? and it's probably 32bit
[17:36] <beastax> mcquaid, so root (hd0,1)?
[17:36] <mcquaid> jsut remember which drive is currently indicated as the boot drive
[17:37] <mcquaid> no what i'm saying is change the boot order in your bios as a test.
[17:37] <beastax> oh, ive done that
[17:37] <erUSUL> WalloO: check out iostat from package
[17:37] <beastax> its set to boot from the ubuntu drive
[17:37] <mcquaid> curious, have you had past linux distros on those drives?
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: also people that have a 64bit prossor that get the 64bit Ubuntu tend to then get problems with Flash and stuff
[17:37] <beastax> for definite
[17:37] <beastax> no.
[17:37] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Its pretty old, its a Compaw NX9010
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: ok well I am pretty sure it's 32bit
[17:38] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Looking up the specs it does state the processor as:
[17:38] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue:  if it's pretty old it is very likely to be 32bit yes
[17:38] <Muntrue>     Intel Mobile Pentium 4 3.06 GHz
[17:38] <beastax> mcquaid, is it possible that grub>find /boot/grub/state1 is getting it wrong?
[17:38] <ApOgEE-> hi, does anybody know how to configure ubuntu to handle xmpp: link?
[17:38] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: But even then im not really sure what to make of that :)\
[17:38] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue:  what OS are you using at the moment?
[17:38] <Hy71194> I just wrote this new program, look at it, it is cool :P
[17:38] <Hy71194> program New;
[17:38] <Hy71194> begin
[17:38] <Hy71194> WriteLn('HELLO WORLD');
[17:38] <Hy71194> end.
[17:38] <FloodBot1> Hy71194: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:38] <mcquaid> well, it could be finding an older install on another part
[17:38] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: XP :(
[17:38] <Hy71194> ;o
[17:38] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: yes put the 1386 version of Ubuntu on it :)
[17:39] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: you can try it from a Live CD if you haven't already

[17:40] <ompaul> Hy71194, this channel is only for Ubuntu support not chat
[17:40] <ompaul> ahh
[17:40] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: The older versions didnt go well with this video-card an all. it was a mess
[17:40] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: but virtual machine wil use your host for a load of stuff which is XP in that case
[17:40] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: where as Live CD will be it running for real just from a CD instead of a hard disk
[17:40] <beastax> mcquaid, im gonna try reboot, back in 2 mins
[17:40] <mcquaid> ok
[17:40] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Yea ill just install it inside windows and see how it goes
[17:41] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: and since a CD is read only.  the stuff goes into RAM and once the computer is turned off or re booted you lose whatever you did on the CD
[17:41] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Ill give it a shot
[17:41] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue:  Virtualbox is very good :)  for virtual machines  http://www.virtualbox.org
[17:41] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes: Ill get back to you when its all setup. tell you how it went

[17:45] <beastax> i tried hd1,0 hd2,0 and finally hd0,0
[17:45] <mcquaid> ok, basically if you want to run that guide properly change it to setup (hd0) at the end

[17:47] <Alilo> I downloaded a driver for my printer and when i tape "make" it stopped and can't complete
[17:48] <SebNaitsabes> then you can run it inside Windows
[17:48] <OddishB> Is there a way to make grub select another operating system as the default when you boot into one?  ie, I boot into Linux, so Windows gets saved as the default so that when I reboot I boot into windows without any human interaction, and then the next time I reboot it boots me into Ubuntu.
[17:48] <iuri> ubottu, i have ubuntu 7.10 and there's no codecs to the movie i am trying to watch

[17:49] <aborym> perlsyntax, check ubuntuforums.org, there is a post about this on the forum
[17:49] <Nathannyhc>  :o
[17:49] <Nathannyhc> ;D
[17:49] <coolbam14> SebNaitsabes
[17:49] <|gandhii|> gadget:  it didn't just work when u installed ubuntu?
[17:49] <perlsyntax> that what i looking at
[17:49] <coolbam14> i know but wubi wont connect to the download center
[17:49] <coolbam14> when i start the installation
[17:49] <DR_K13> hay guys is this the ubuntu forums channel ? :cool:
[17:49] <gadget> no it didn't
[17:50] <gadget> i inserted a cd and started the player.. no sound
[17:50] <gadget> and i tried myvideo.de
[17:50] <SebNaitsabes> coolbam14:  wubi  as I said your better off to use real partitions. all wubi does is installs it inside WIndows and edits WIndows boot manager, then you got a dual boot
[17:50] <gadget> no sound
[17:50] <coolbam14> ok then
[17:50] <coolbam14> thanks
[17:50] <gadget> i installed the wlan driver with ndiswrapper..
[17:50] <AndrewGearhart> bazhang: not having any luck with the fonts... tried the instructions for manual installation of a .ttf font file that I have in the link that you sent... but the font isn't showing up as an option (after logging-out and back in) in OpenOffice Writer any idea what to try next?
[17:50] <gadget> but i don't know how to install the sound driver
[17:50] <Alilo> i want to compile driver fo my printer canon lbp-800?????
[17:50] <SebNaitsabes> coolbam14: also what if Windows screws up big time? then a wubi installation of Ubuntu does as well?
[17:50] <Muntrue> Can interest anyone in a DropBox invite ?
[17:51] <SebNaitsabes> coolbam14: so you have run Ubuntu inside Windows before in a virtual machine?
[17:51] <coolbam14> yes
[17:51] <chiefinnovator> I put the whole issue here, maybe someone can just take a look today https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/37748
[17:51] <coolbam14> thenr removed it
[17:51] <Alilo> I have the driver and there is no much information in the README file
[17:51] <coolbam14> cuz hdd was too small
[17:51] <SebNaitsabes> coolbam14:  and booted Ubuntu from a Live CD on your computer?
[17:51] <herlaziness> how can I see window partition from wubi?  thanks
[17:51] <coolbam14> yes
[17:51] <coolbam14> now i just need to find that cd

[18:02] <mcquaid> Please try. you can change it right back
[18:02] <tue> Any ideas on how to resolve this?

[18:03] <mikere> My sd card reader on my asus z71v doesn't work - any ideas how to get a driver for it?
[18:03] <AndrewGearhart> BagleBoof: sounds like you should be able to resize it then... I was able to resize one of my partitions to be exactly the size used.
[18:03] <BagleBoof> AndreGerhart I orginally partined in the install but messed up
[18:03] <MrLukipela> So im getting the idea that if you have xubuntu you are SOL because no one does support for it?
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> SOL???
[18:04] <AndrewGearhart> BagleBoof: I'd check out gpartd
[18:04] <mcquaid> if i right click and choose modify, nothing happens.  if i double click the value window pops up but won't allow changes
[18:04] <SebNaitsabes> Xubuntu is just Ubuntu, but with XFCE
[18:04] <MrLukipela> Right, except most people here wont help you because its xubuntu.
[18:04] <mcquaid> SebNaitsabes, does right click modify bring up the modify value window?
[18:04] <SebNaitsabes> mcquid: well seems to work for me.  why not just use Firefox?
[18:04] <mcquaid> did you double click or choose modify?
[18:05] <mcquaid> double click brings it up for me, but won't allow a change.  i suspect you didn't try a change.  so just see if right click modify brings it up
[18:05] <sayotte> looks like the answer to my question is the "systemsettings" executable
[18:05] <SebNaitsabes> mcquaid: where's modify?
[18:05] <perlsyntax> how do i unmout the dvd drive to world of warcraft?
[18:05] <mcquaid> right click on a selction
[18:06] <BagleBoof> AndrewGerhart, Im using Gparted - and I want to make the partition bigger, not smaller
[18:06] <SebNaitsabes> mcquaid:  got other stuff to do so  find someone else or  why not just use Firefox or something/
[18:06] <MrLukipela> Here is my issue: On Xubuntu, my screen has big black bars on the sides, when i run displayconfig-gtk and try to change it, it goes to low graphics mode.  I am using the correct driver, from what ive seen.  Any ideas?
[18:06] <AndrewGearhart> anybody have thoughts on installing a .ttf font under Ubuntu?
[18:06] <SebNaitsabes> !fonts
[18:06] <mcquaid> heh. it would have took 2 secs but no biggie
[18:06] <mcquaid> i use ff my girlfriend likes epiphany
[18:06] <aborym> !Mplayer
[18:06] <perlsyntax> ?
[18:06] <AndrewGearhart> SebNaitsabes: thanks, I followed the tips in that link... no luck
[18:06] <Viking> hello
[18:06] <mcquaid> anyone else have epiphany installed?
[18:07] <SebNaitsabes> AndrewGearhart: which link?
[18:07] <AndrewGearhart> ﻿BagleBoof: you should be able to do so... but you first need to make sure that the space that you'd like to use is contiguous with the space you'd like to enlarge
[18:07] <MrLukipela> Here is my issue: On Xubuntu, my screen has big black bars on the sides, when i run displayconfig-gtk and try to change it, it goes to low graphics mode.  I am using the correct driver, from what ive seen.  Any ideas?
[18:07] <Viking> i joined ubuntu launchpad now i cant login or rest my password anyone experience the same
[18:07] <AndrewGearhart> SebNaitsabes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto ... followed the instructions for manual install... logged out and back in... and the font isn't showing up in ooo
[18:07] <jondecker76_> can anyone help me with GParted?
[18:08] <SebNaitsabes> AndrewGeartheart: I think you can just say copy the fonts from Windows and put in the fonts folder
[18:08] <SebNaitsabes> jondecker76: yep maybe what you want to do
[18:08] <mikere> jondecker76_, what do you want to know about GParted?
[18:08] <Viking> jondecker 76 try man gparted
[18:08] <jondecker76_> i'm running it from the live cd
[18:08] <AndrewGearhart> SebNaitsabes: in the folder described in the link?
[18:08] <jondecker76_> I can't create an extended partition
[18:08] <jondecker76_> the options is always grayed out
[18:09] <GreatestGatsby> My network connection is really weak on Ubuntu. I ran a packet test and received only 40% of packets, and my browser is barely working due to the connection. I can't even download new updates. However, I am running a computer right next to my Ubuntu computer and I am having no network issues. Does anyone know why this is?
[18:09] <SakuraKinomoto> how can i configure the mysql access in ubuntu?
[18:09] <gway9000> jondecker76_: you can only expand if you have room to do so, you will have to shrink a partition to expand anaother
[18:09] <jondecker76_> the live CD and alternate CD fail on creating partitions
[18:09] <jondecker76_> so i Have to do it manually
[18:09] <jondecker76_> I have listed over 150GB of freespace on sda1
[18:10] <aborym> jondecker76_, try the gparted live CD
[18:10] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, maybe a network card issue?
[18:10] <jondecker76_> I partitioned 30GB primary
[18:10] <SebNaitsabes> AndrewGearthart: I am not sure, but I know there is another package similar to mscorefonts,  that you could try if you haven't already
[18:10] <BagleBoof> I should have just 1 swap partition, correct ??
[18:10] <SebNaitsabes> BagleBoof: swap is optional
[18:10] <jondecker76_> i can't use gparted on ubuntu's live cd?
[18:10] <SakuraKinomoto> mmm
[18:10] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, how are you connected? wire? wireless?
[18:10] <SakuraKinomoto> can somebody help me to configure mysql in ubuntu?
[18:10] <GreatestGatsby> zelrikriando: But when I run Windows from the same machine, I have a nearly flawless, fast connection. It only seems to run slowly in Ubuntu.
[18:10] <Viking> jondecker 76 so what you are trying todo is dual boot
[18:10] <mcquaid> it's optional but would strongly recommend having a swap
[18:11] <GreatestGatsby> zelrikriando: I'm using a wireless connection.
[18:11] <SebNaitsabes> mcquaid: I do not have swap :) and things run rather well indeed
[18:11] <jondecker76_> no dueal boot
[18:11] <gway9000> SakuraKinomoto: configure?
[18:11] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, sounds weird
[18:11] <SebNaitsabes> mcquaif:  1GB RAM
[18:11] <jondecker76_> just trying to set up partitions so I can get Ubuntu to install
[18:11] <Viking> ok yes i am myself no fan of dual boot eitehr
[18:11] <codyzapp> is there any app that converts avi > .flv ? or can i just "cat" to do it.
[18:11] <MrLukipela> Here is my issue: On Xubuntu, my screen has big black bars on the sides, when i run displayconfig-gtk and try to change it, it goes to low graphics mode.  I am using the correct driver, from what ive seen.  Any ideas?
[18:11] <GreatestGatsby> zelrikriando: Do you think a reinstallation of Ubuntu will change anything? I have never had any internet problems with any other versions of Ubuntu.
[18:12] <jondecker76_> but, on trying to install from Live CD it trashed my Windows installations
[18:12]  * SebNaitsabes no need to dual boot :)  run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine :)
[18:12] <jondecker76_> so now I have to get this to work
[18:12] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, not sure...
[18:12] <andres_> hola
[18:12] <Viking> well if you just want to make cleaninstall just pop cd in boot  and folow screen
[18:12] <jondecker76_> nope, it won't work
[18:12] <jondecker76_> it fails when creating partitions
[18:13] <MrLukipela> You know, i think im just going to set the question up on a timer.
[18:13] <SakuraKinomoto> gway9000: yes, i need to give that mysql access from a fdifferent ip
[18:13] <jondecker76_> i get an error
[18:13] <GreatestGatsby> ok well thanks for your help zelrikriando, I am just going to give it another go and see if it works.
[18:13] <jondecker76_> and get thrown back to step 4
[18:13] <Viking> if u dont car about loosing any dat on hard drive just format it first
[18:13] <jondecker76_> thats what i'm trying to do
[18:13] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, not sure it is likely but it can just be ubuntu not handling well your network card
[18:13] <sekil> does anybody else problems with evollution segfaulting when opening attachments?
[18:13] <Viking> right click and format c
[18:13] <peanuter> from console is their a way or a program that i can see my current bandwidth usage?
[18:13] <F_NOO1> ﻿jondecker76_,you want tu install ubuntu on the disk ?double system?
[18:13] <SpeCon> anyone who's using a digitus usb wireless stick  ? cause i need the driver to install with ndiswrapper for ubuntu
[18:14] <zelrikriando> I am far from an expert though...
[18:14] <jondecker76_> just Ubuntu 8.04
[18:14] <Viking> did it have linux on it before
[18:14] <Viking> ok
[18:14] <jondecker76_> No, vista
[18:14] <GreatestGatsby> Yeah I think that may be the issue zelrikriando, but the weird thing is that when I ran Ubuntu years ago using the same network card, I never had any issues.
[18:14] <Viking> what filesysytem is curent on drive
[18:14] <jondecker76_> but thats been destroyed now
[18:14] <Viking> yes vista sucks
[18:14] <jondecker76_> well, i used gparted to remove all partitions
[18:14] <F_NOO1> which version?
[18:14] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, did you upgrade?
[18:14] <SebNaitsabes> swkil:  Evoloution why not use Mozilla Thunderbird instead?
[18:14] <F_NOO1> 8.04?
[18:14] <jondecker76_> so now it is listed as Unused space
[18:14] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, or reinstall?
[18:14] <GreatestGatsby> zelrikriando: Yes, I did a fresh install of 8.04
[18:15] <SebNaitsabes> sekil:  Evoloution why not use Mozilla Thunderbird instead?
[18:15] <Viking> ok cool now u will have to make a partition
[18:15] <Viking> for ubuntu
[18:15] <jondecker76_> ok, i made a 30GB partition
[18:15] <gway9000> SakuraKinomoto: grant all privileges on *.* to 'user'@'%' identified by 'password' with grant option:
[18:15] <zelrikriando> GreatestGatsby, try a Fresh install of 7.10 if the 8.04 keeps on failing...just to see
[18:15] <jondecker76_> (30gb primary partition)
[18:15] <jondecker76_> now I have to make and extended partition for the rest
[18:15] <GreatestGatsby> ok thanks zelrikriando, I'm going to go try that now. Thanks for your help.
[18:16] <jondecker76_> but extended is grayed out
[18:16] <Viking> try fdisk then
[18:16] <jondecker76_> what does fdisk do?
[18:16] <Viking> same as gparted
[18:16] <Viking> ad or remove partitons
[18:16] <jondecker76_> how would I do this via fdisk?
[18:16] <jondecker76_> keep in mind I'm not very knowlegable on partitions
[18:17] <mikere> Or try cfdisk
[18:17] <Viking> cfdisk same thing
[18:17] <jondecker76_> what I want is a separate /home and /swap partitions in my new extended partition
[18:17] <Viking> i understand sir
[18:17] <Viking> i will try to help best way i can
[18:17] <jondecker76_> thank you
[18:18] <jondecker76_> as funny as it may sound, I am a developer for LinuxMCE - but I know nothing about partitions
[18:18] <Viking> what happens when u are at gparted promp
[18:18] <jondecker76_> only c++ programming :(
[18:18] <Viking> dont u get options
[18:18] <gway9000> ulyimate bootcd hs some good applications so does hiren's boot cd
[18:18] <FluxD> !kernel

[18:19] <Kyle____> asdsd7asd

[18:21] <s0ullight> !firefox
[18:21] <Viking> check this link to jondecker76 http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1778
[18:21] <Viking> yes
[18:21] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: yes what do you want to format
[18:21] <Viking> try to type fdisk
[18:21] <Viking> it should be there
[18:21] <jondecker76_> the drive
[18:22] <jondecker76_> it failed install with both live cd and alternate
[18:22] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: the whole drive? why?
[18:22] <Viking> yes understand
[18:22] <jondecker76_> and the only thing running Gparted from the live cd will let me do is create primary partitions
[18:22] <captainhack> hello room
[18:22]  * BlackRece pulls out hair!!!
[18:22] <SeveredCross> jondecker76_: That's because you need to create an extended partition before you create logical partitions.
[18:23] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: install the new partitions using gparted, and format during the install
[18:23] <BlackRece> brb, gone to thinking throne
[18:23] <jondecker76_> it won't let me create an extended partition\
[18:23] <psyco> How do I  mount the CD/DVD without the 'unhide' option. ??

[18:25] <Viking> u can download it pop it in reboot with it in and there u go
[18:25] <jondecker76_> install ubuntu hopefully
[18:25] <phasegen> does anyone know what the deal is with evolution needing a password to check mail whenever it starts up?
[18:25] <jondecker76_> though I would like to have a separate home partition
[18:25] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: make a new primary partition
[18:25] <perlsyntax> i say it will not do that
[18:25] <jondecker76_> i did
[18:25] <mikere> perlsyntax: I don't know a lot about wine - but I have been using it a bit lately and am impressed at how far it's come since last time I tried it.  Have Dreamweaver working with it now.
[18:25] <jondecker76_> 30GB
[18:25] <perlsyntax> it say it mounted
[18:25] <SebNaitsabes> phasegen: why not use Mozilla Thunderbird instead?
[18:25] <SebNaitsabes> !wine
[18:25] <jondecker76_> i still have about 120GB unused
[18:26] <perlsyntax> cook mike
[18:26] <mikere> perlsyntax, try typine eject from a command prompt
[18:26] <F_NOO1> ﻿jondecker76_:,you want to install vista ,ubuntu in the one disk?
[18:26] <SebNaitsabes> perlsyntax: I got quite a bit of experience with Wine yes,  what do you want to know/do?
[18:26] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: make 3 partitions one for / one for home and one for swap.  THey can all be primary
[18:26] <Viking> check out ultimate boot cd jondecker76
[18:26] <perlsyntax> it say it busy
[18:26] <SeveredCross> yoyoned: Are you sure? Only 4 primary partitions I thought.
[18:26] <jondecker76_> ok
[18:26] <gway9000> jondecker76_: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/; or http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4105716/Hiren_s_BootCD_9.5 has partition magic on it
[18:27] <jondecker76_> for / is 30gb good?
[18:27] <perlsyntax> i want to  get my first cd out of my dvd drive.
[18:27] <BaD_CrC> anyone here good with LVM? i need help.  http://pastebin.com/d6b1bce2e
[18:27] <SebNaitsabes> that's not a Wine issue
[18:27] <mikere> perlsyntax, then you have something using the dvd drive right now - close any file browser windows and exit any consoles that are using the drive
[18:27] <yoyoned> Servarium: correct only 4 primary, but jondecker76_ said the drive is empty right
[18:27] <Viking>  and fdisk or try pop in windows cd but dont install windows just use it to ad partition on drive then remove windwos cd pop in ubuntu
[18:27] <jondecker76_> yes
[18:27] <phasegen> SebNaitsabes: I like evolution, it works fine, just since hardy it asks for my password everytime I start it.  Not the mail server password, my password
[18:27] <Viking> it work as well
[18:27] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: 30 G is plenty
[18:27] <jondecker76_> empty, except for one 30GB primary right now
[18:27] <jondecker76_> now make another primary for swap (im doing 2gb)
[18:27] <jondecker76_> then the rest a primary for home?
[18:28] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: are you planning to install anything else besides ubuntu
[18:28] <jondecker76_> no sir
[18:28] <radovan> jondecker76_: change entries in /etc/fstab
[18:28] <jondecker76_> just ubuntu install
[18:28] <yoyoned> good.  30 g / 2g swap and the rest home will work great
[18:28] <kaliMastah> what do i use to open an .iso file in ubunto?
[18:28] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: ﻿good.  30 g / 2g swap and the rest home will work great
[18:28] <jondecker76_> ok i will give it a try. then should I reboot from ubuntu live cd and install?
[18:29] <mikere> perlsyntax, did that help?
[18:29] <crimsun_> kaliMastah: you can mount it loopback.
[18:29] <perlsyntax> nope
[18:29] <Viking> try gmount iso
[18:29] <Bllz> How can I get an iPod Nano (3rd generation) to sync with either a music manager like Banshee or gtkpod?
[18:29] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: yes, and the installer will take care of making the filesystems for you (formatting)
[18:29] <Bllz> preferably the former solution.... gtkpod is kind of a last resort
[18:29] <Viking> gmount iso is under synaptic
[18:29] <perlsyntax> i try install it again
[18:29] <mikere> perlsyntax, I wonder if wine somehow locks the drive
[18:30] <phasegen> SebNaitsabes: The weird thing is, when I changed my password, evolution still wants the old one
[18:30] <perlsyntax> that what i thinking.
[18:30] <jondecker76_> yoyoned - thanyou very much, i am going to try it now
[18:30] <mvdkleijn> anyone familiar with the assertion lock failure in starting OOo?
[18:30] <yoyoned> jondecker76_: np
[18:30] <mikere> perlsyntax, and I bet hitting the eject button on the drive itself doesn't help
[18:30] <kaliMastah> im using an ubuntu 5.04
[18:30] <perlsyntax> that right
[18:30] <incorrect> wow
[18:31] <kaliMastah> just found it on the shelves...
[18:31] <moa_> of course
[18:31] <mikere> perlsyntax, not sure if it's a good idea but I suppose you could use a paper clip to poke in the emergency eject hole in the drive.
[18:31] <Bllz> kaliMastah:  have you tried gmout iso?  and not to be nosey but why not upgrade? =)
[18:31] <kaliMastah> Bllz, im trying to upgrade now
[18:31] <SebNaitsabes> phasegen: I dont' use evolotion
[18:32] <Viking> good luck jondecker76
[18:32] <kaliMastah> im downloading an ubuntu 8 .iso
[18:32] <yoyoned> kaliMastah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso?highlight=%28CategoryCleanup%29
[18:32] <mikere> perlsyntax, I'm pretty sure I had something similar go wrong when I was installing Dreamweaver with wine - it really didn't want to eject the disc
[18:32] <dkkong> The onboard soundcard in my system doesn't work. I put in a Creative Labs SB Audigy, and lspci shows it's recognized, but I have no sound. Help?
[18:32] <Bllz> word. try gmount iso if you want to explore the contents of the iso file... if you want to upgrade... i think you can still use gmoutiso or you can burn the cd and then pop it in the drive and I *think* that ubuntu will launch the package manager
[18:32] <kaliMastah> thanks for that
[18:32] <Bllz> How can I get an iPod Nano (3rd generation) to sync with either a music manager like Banshee or gtkpod?
[18:32] <SebNaitsabes> !ipod
[18:32] <kaliMastah> can i burn a cd here?
[18:33] <kaliMastah> hmmm....ill try to burn tomorrow
[18:33] <yoyoned> dkkong: did you disable the orriganal cound in bios
[18:33] <SebNaitsabes> !burn
[18:33] <dkkong> yoyoned: yup
[18:33] <perlsyntax> how did you do it mike?
[18:33] <mikere> perlsyntax, perhaps try sudo eject
[18:34] <Viking> im out bye
[18:34] <mikere> perlsyntax, don't remember - I'm trying to re-create the problem
[18:34] <yoyoned> perlsyntax: your cd won't eject?
[18:34] <Bllz> sebnaitsabes:  i don't think they any of those solutions natively support 3rd gen nanos... there's apparently some sort of fix
[18:34] <mikere> yoyoned: that is correct
[18:34] <perlsyntax> that didn't help
[18:34] <SebNaitsabes> Bilz: there is an itunes alternative I belive a good one,  not sure what it is called, also I think itunes runs in Wine
[18:34] <perlsyntax> mmm
[18:34] <Bllz> cool thanks
[18:35] <yoyoned> mikere: it needs to be umounted.  try sudo umount -l /dev/cdrom
[18:35] <Operator> hey u guise
[18:35] <gway9000> romper room?
[18:35] <yoyoned> ﻿perlsyntax:﻿sudo umount -l /dev/cdrom then eject
[18:36] <Operator> can someone help me set up ircd-hybrid pleeeeeeeease????
[18:36] <perlsyntax> nope
[18:36] <BlackRece> why wont firestarter and ipmasq let internet through this pc to my network!?
[18:36] <mikere> perlsyntax, what happened when you tried umount?
[18:36] <SebNaitsabes> Bilz:  yes itunes  maybe just runs in WIne or needs a bit of tweaking
[18:36] <Operator> lol 1337 total members

[18:38] <Operator> oh
[18:38] <ncfi1013> i uninstalled compiz but i still have to run "kwin --replace & killall compiz compiz.realeverytime i log in or else my window borders are messed up and i have no system tray. i have deleted all compiz and emerald settings files that i could find and have set the session to load a clean session on startup but nothing seems to help
[18:38] <Operator> gway9000 can u help? :P
[18:38] <psyco> How do I mount something WITHOUT unhide option??
[18:38] <BlackRece> first i installed and ran firestarter but it didn't allow my xp box to connect to internet, why?
[18:38] <gway9000> nah but i am going to sleeep
[18:39] <perlsyntax> now the other prob it will not install on cd 2
[18:39] <hackel> BlackRece, you need to buy internet access package for Microsoft otherwise XP can't access the interweb.
[18:39] <SebNaitsabes> lol  @ hackel
[18:40] <defishguy> polkit-gnome-authorization is giving me a segault on certain keys not all.
[18:40] <BlackRece> hackel: wtf u on about?
[18:40] <SebNaitsabes> BlackRece, yeah you need to pay royalties to MS or XP won't let you on the web
[18:40] <aborym> lol
[18:40] <BlackRece> hands up all those that pay MS anything!
[18:40]  * BlackRece sees no hands!!!
[18:41] <BlackRece> thought so!
[18:41] <SebNaitsabes> BlackRece:  well there should be hands just they are ashamed, a nd the reason there should be hands is, since a load of people buy PC's with Windows
[18:41] <gway9000> yuo can see people here ?
[18:41] <hackel> BlackRece, you better be paying Microsoft a license if you're using XP.  We don't welcome software pirates in this channel.
[18:42] <BlackRece> hang on, ur serious?! but xp used to connect to the internet before i used this ubuntu firewall set-up!
[18:42] <hackel> lol
[18:42] <SebNaitsabes> XP is in a VM?
[18:42] <gway9000> how many people want BlackRece to pay MS to solve his problem
[18:42] <SebNaitsabes> most of the channel lol
[18:42] <gway9000> raise your hands
[18:42] <BlackRece> apart from IP settings, i haven't changed anything!
[18:43] <SebNaitsabes> yep my hand is up :d
[18:43] <gway9000> that blocked out the sun
[18:43] <ether_c> Hi, quick question: I needed to compile a kernel module in order to get my wireless usb sticks to work. This module is loaded at boot even though I don't always need it until I stick the wifi adapters in. Is there any problem with having it loaded all the time or should I try to find a way to disable it until I need it?
[18:43] <CorbinFox> anyone in here running Ubuntu 8.04 on a macbook pro?
[18:43] <BlackRece> ahw man, that's cruel!!!
[18:43] <defishguy> ﻿polkit-gnome-authorization is giving me a segault on certain keys not all.  Does anyone have any ideas?
[18:43] <hackel> BlackRece, I haven't used firestarter in ages, but it certainly used to do what you are asking just fine.  Must be a misconfiguration somewhere.
[18:43] <SebNaitsabes> either_c:  probably easier just to have it enabled all the time
[18:43] <ether_c> SebNaitsabes: is it taking up RAM?
[18:44] <SebNaitsabes> probably a tiny bit yeah
[18:44] <ether_c> SebNaitsabes: ah well, thanks. RAM is cheap
[18:44] <BlackRece> hackel: if firestarter uses iptables and ipmasq is just rukes for iptables, then can't I wipe iptables and restart firestarter and ipmasq rules should be wiped, right?
[18:44] <SebNaitsabes> you can find out what is using RAM
[18:45] <aborym> BlackRece, you could try squid to give internet access to the other machines
[18:45] <dkkong> My aplay -l shows no soundcards, but my lspci does
[18:45] <BlackRece> aborym: is squid like ipmasq?
[18:45] <aborym> BlackRece, squid is a proxy server.
[18:46] <hackel> BlackRece, yes, I believe stopping firestarter will clear the iptables rules.  I belive it also has an init script.
[18:46] <hackel> BlackRece, I don't believe you need *both* ipmasq and firestarter, only one or the other.
[18:46] <BlackRece> hackel: init depends on distro according to ff website
[18:47] <CorbinFox> hey, there are 1337 people in the room!
[18:47] <CorbinFox> well, until 2 people joined in :P
[18:47] <BlackRece> 1339*
[18:47] <zelrikriando> 1340
[18:47] <CorbinFox> ah well, nothing good can last forever :P
[18:47] <BlackRece> >_<
[18:47] <SebNaitsabes> maybe ubotu counts as a number
[18:47] <CorbinFox> anyone running ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 on a macbook pro?
[18:47] <joseph__> Hey, I recently saw on a desktop screenshot of a song playing and a little widget/icon of the album of the song, Where can i get that?
[18:47] <family> i am using ubuntu 8.04 and for some reason it never remembers my wpa wireless settings. If I go back into System>administration>networks i can retype everything and it works. any ideas why this might be so?
[18:48] <SebNaitsabes> !wifi
[18:48] <BlackRece> hackel: off the top of ur head: what's the command to flush all of iptables?
[18:48] <zelrikriando> CorbinFox, why running ubuntu on a mac?
[18:48] <zelrikriando> I thought OSX was descent
[18:48] <hackel> BlackRece, iptables -F
[18:48] <SebNaitsabes> OSX is propritary and most propritary software is yuck, and so even OSX to some extent, but compared to Windows well :d
[18:49] <CorbinFox> zelkrikriando: well, i am considering getting a refurbished macbook pro ($300 less and just as good as new) to put ubuntu on
[18:49] <BlackRece> o i c, thought I needed to name each and every... er.. INPUT and FORWARD etc
[18:49] <CorbinFox> and I want an OS that has a user interface that doesn't assume I am retarded
[18:49] <zelrikriando> SebNaitsabes, Mac is proprietary...even with ubuntu on it...
[18:49] <SebNaitsabes> yep
[18:49] <SebNaitsabes> since the hardware
[18:49] <SebNaitsabes> ,but hey most hardware is propritary anwyay
[18:49] <SebNaitsabes> or all even
[18:50] <zelrikriando> SebNaitsabes, I dont see the point of getting a fully proprietary computer to make it half proprietary just for the heck of it
[18:50] <Gpalco> Is there a way to completely REMOVE emails or ATTACHMNTS from Evolution mail ?
[18:50] <LSD|Ninja> CorbinFox: so why Ubuntu on a Mac? ;)
[18:50] <SebNaitsabes> agreed,  if I had a Mac I would use OSX as my host OS
[18:50] <zelrikriando> SebNaitsabes, and knowing that OSX has good features...
[18:50] <CorbinFox> im going with the macbook because from what i have read up on it they are easy to configure for ubuntu, since there are only a few models compared to the thousands released by other PC manufacturers
[18:50] <SebNaitsabes> and if I wanted Ubuntu to on it
[18:50] <SebNaitsabes> I would put in a VM
[18:50] <zelrikriando> yeah
[18:50] <zelrikriando> sounds better
[18:50] <BlackRece> hackel: I get the msg "Unknown error occured, check device settings..." from ff, what am i missing (apart from a brain!)
[18:50] <aborym> How do I specify a password when I mount an nfs share?
[18:50] <Nimblefinger1> I have ubuntu server running, and I want to open an ssh connection using putty for windows, it says connection refused whenever i try - is this something to do with firewalls or something else?
[18:51] <chadkouse> hey guys -- I just inherited 2 racks with 64 servers... I need about 50 of them to be load balanced web servers.....  is there a way to create an "image" of a server setup how I need it to be and then have the machines all boot up that image each time they start ?
[18:51] <CorbinFox> I have tried a few other laptops out, recent ones of decent power, and i just can't get things figured out, like no wireless drivers for this new batch of completely redundant wireless cards that JUST came out
[18:51] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, did you install ssh on the server?
[18:51] <joseph__> Can somebody tell me what the program or widget is that shows the album of the song playing on your desktop?
[18:51] <Ayabara> doesn't f-spot have a "delete photos after importing" button anymore?
[18:51] <CorbinFox> or the graphics card didn't play nice, or something stupid
[18:52] <CorbinFox> but from what I have read, ubuntu more or less runs flawlessly with any configuration explained very clearly
[18:52] <hackel> BlackRece, by ff do you mean firefox or firestarter?  I'm not sure since I have no idea how you've configured things.
[18:52] <CorbinFox> when installed to a mac
[18:52] <BlackRece> magnetron: yahoo and windos live have it and so does winamp
[18:52] <FluxD> How do you compile custom linux headers?
[18:52] <magnetron> BlackRece, wrong guy
[18:52] <BlackRece> ff as in firestarter in this case (sry)
[18:52] <CorbinFox> so! anyone in here with a mac with ubuntu on it?  I'd like to hear your experiences in installing it
[18:52] <slicky> ati x1950 tvout howto me looking for
[18:52] <jarid> hello how do i set emerald as the default theme
[18:52] <Nimblefinger1> yes magnetron, ssh is on the server - well apt-get ssh tells me to get openssh-client, that is up to date
[18:53] <BlackRece> sry
[18:53] <Gpalco> Is there a way to completely REMOVE emails or ATTACHMNTS from Evolution mail ?? NO delete option for files in Busket
[18:53] <LSD|Ninja> CorbinFox: last I tried it, Ubuntu didn't support the particular Atheros chip my MacBook uses for Wifi withoiut handcompiling madwifi. That was enough for me to kick it off.
[18:53] <BlackRece> screen moved! lol
[18:53] <Chris|> jarid:  `emerald --replace'
[18:53] <BlackRece> joseph_ see msg ^
[18:53] <CorbinFox> i am actually looking at MacBook Pros, maybe it is easier on the pro line?
[18:53] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, it tells you to install openssh-client? apt has never told me to install anything, it does it for me
[18:53] <kaliMastah> did anyone uses beryl here for ubuntu?
[18:54] <Nimblefinger1> well it told me another package replaces it
[18:54] <gway9000> chadkouse: Part image
[18:54] <magnetron> !beryl > kaliMastah
[18:54] <slicky> ati x1950 tvout howto me looking fo

[18:54] <SebNaitsabes> !ipod
[18:54] <chadkouse> gway9000: thanks -- was just looking at clonezilla too
[18:54] <jarid> emerald --replace dont do nothing
[18:54] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, make sure you install a package named "ssh": sudo apt-get install ssh
[18:54] <Operator> hi
[18:54] <fraroco> Hello everybody, I have a motherboard intel D845PESV whit ubuntu 8.04, My screen have troubles with the resolution and whit the processes. I have 1.5 GB RAM
[18:54] <Operator> i am looking for a good irc server to use
[18:54] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, that will make sure you have both the server and the client
[18:55] <Operator> that actually works
[18:55] <CorbinFox> fraroco: you have the proper drivers for the video card? and what do you mean with the processes? like this just hang up or they go slow?
[18:55] <FluxD> How do you compile custom linux headers?
[18:55] <drewber2> ﻿﻿I am having trouble getting mod_auth_dbm to work. ﻿Here is an example of my configuration.  I used htdbm "sudo htdbm -c -TDB /var/www/passwords/dbpasswords admin" to create the file, but when I try to visit the server, the username and password I entered do not work.
[18:55] <ncfi1013> I uninstalled compiz but I still have to run “kwin –replace & killall compiz compiz.real” every time I log in or else my window borders are messed up and I have no system tray. I have deleted all compiz and emerald settings files I could find and have set up the session to load a clean session on startup but nothing seems to help
[18:55] <yoyoned> BlackRece: -f
[18:56] <heru> halo
[18:56] <kaliMastah> !compiz
[18:56] <LSD|Ninja> Ubuntu has never managed to get resolution selection quite right >_<
[18:56] <Nimblefinger1> magnetron: it says the package ssh is not available, but is referred to by another package.  - i got the other package, but does that mean my sources.list is missing one
[18:56] <fraroco> CorbinFox, I do not know if I have the proper drivers, Just I intalled Ubuntu and that's all
[18:56] <LSD|Ninja> 7.10 came close, but 8.04 took a dump on it
[18:56] <jarid> emerald --replace dont work
[18:56] <Operator> yeah thats true
[18:56] <Operator> go to /usr/local/applications/screens and graphics
[18:56] <aborym> How do I specify a password when I mount an nfs share?
[18:57] <Operator> i think you can set it up there
[18:57] <fraroco> I mean hang up
[18:57] <Ayabara> is there another alternative than fspot for importing images from my camera?
[18:57] <Nimblefinger1> but thanks magnetron, i think that is the issue, i dont think i have server set
[18:57] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, have you ever done a "sudo apt-get update"? it's essential that you do this before any other apt-get operation
[18:58] <Nimblefinger1> no - thanks, i wasn't aware of that :)
[18:58] <Evariste> How can I change the configuration of vim in Ubuntu so that when I'm writing java code, it automatically uses indents for things such as braces { } ?
[18:58] <cyzie> is smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24?
[18:58] <Nimblefinger1> thanks a lot magnetron, i think that has been the cause of most of my apt-get woes :)
[18:59] <dave_> Hi, could someone please tell me if it's possible to upgrade 5.10 to 6.06 and beyond? I installed 5.10 from CD and can't seem to get proper repositories, etc.
[18:59] <jarid> can anyone help me i instaled emerald and now i dont got any window boarders
[18:59] <SeveredCross> Evariste: Try #vim
[18:59] <Evariste> okay
[18:59] <CorbinFox> Fraroco: hmm, and which version of ubuntu are you using?
[18:59] <magnetron> Nimblefinger1, good to hear that your problem seems to be solved
[18:59] <SeveredCross> jarid: Try pressing Alt-F2 and then running "emerald --replace"
[18:59] <fraroco> CorbinFox, 8.04
[18:59] <SeveredCross> dave_: Er, why didn't you just install a more recent version? I'm sure it's possible, but you'll probably end up with some cruft.
[18:59] <jarid> alt f2 nothing
[18:59] <SeveredCross> jarid: Right, Metacity isn't running.
[18:59] <CorbinFox> fraroco: have you tried the restricted driver manager for the vid card drivers?  as for the programs hanging up...not sure about that
[19:00] <SeveredCross> Can you open a terminal?
[19:00] <jarid> me?
[19:00] <cyzie> is smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24?
[19:00] <SeveredCross> If so, try opening a terminal and running "emerald --replace &"
[19:00] <SeveredCross> jarid: Yes, you.
[19:00] <joseph__> How do I minimize the music player to just show the album and nothing else?
[19:00] <SeveredCross> cyzie: Uh...works for me...
[19:00] <SeveredCross> joseph__: Which player?
[19:00] <SeveredCross> Rhythmbox
[19:00] <SeveredCross> ?
[19:00] <FloodBot1> SeveredCross: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:00] <dave_> SeveredCross,  thanks. Can I download 6.06 using my 5.10 system and just replace it?
[19:00] <cyzie> SeveredCross, how do you verify that?
[19:00]  * SeveredCross wonders if FloodBot1 is retarded.
[19:00] <fraroco> CorbinFox, How can I do that?
[19:00] <SeveredCross> dave_: Why not just install 8.04
[19:00] <joseph__> SeveredCross:  Uhm, Default music player I assume, I just plugged my Ipod in and it popped up
[19:01] <SeveredCross> joseph__: Okay, that'd be Rhythmbox. There should be a mini-mode somewhere, though you might need to enable a plugin.
[19:01] <dave_> :) Duh. course.
[19:01] <jarid> nothing happens in terminal with emerald --replace &
[19:01] <joseph__> SeveredCross:  Ah Thanks
[19:01] <BlackRece> whats the command to restart network?
[19:01] <SeveredCross> jarid: Hmm. Is it possible your video card doesn't support emerald? Do you have Compiz running?
[19:01] <Ketara> Can anybody here help me out for a minute? My wireless hasn't been working and I'm somewhat stumped at what the problem is.
[19:01] <SeveredCross> cyzie: The only way I can think of verifying that is starting up some kind of multithreaded processor-intensive program.
[19:01] <SeveredCross> Actually.
[19:01] <SeveredCross> Lies.
[19:02] <CorbinFox> fraroco: I'm in 7.10 right now but it should be the same, or at least enough to get you where you can find it yourself, but go System > Preferences > Restricted drivers (that is houw 7.10 does it) then it will show you any possible drivers you can have on your system
[19:02] <SeveredCross> cyzie: Run cat /proc/cpuinfo in a terminal.
[19:02] <SeveredCross> And if it spits out n sets of data for n CPU's, you have SMP.
[19:02] <cyzie> SeveredCross, yea, i got only 1 cpu
[19:02] <slicky> how do i get tv out working in ubuntu 8.04
[19:02] <slicky> ?
[19:02] <giacomo_carissim> can anyone out there help me get teamspeak configured with my alsa drivers?
[19:02] <dave_> SeveredCross, Ive never downloaded and entire OS. Will the Ubuntu website walk me through it? I'm not very good with terminal stuff, etc.
[19:02] <SeveredCross> cyzie: What kind of CPU do you have?
[19:02] <SeveredCross> dave_: Uh, all you need to do is download the LiveCD, boot it up and follow the instructions.
[19:03] <jarid> ok i cant enable the efects
[19:03] <SeveredCross> With 8.04, there's almost no terminal stuff to bother with.
[19:03] <cyzie> SeveredCross,  Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  E2140  @ 1.60GHz
[19:03] <SeveredCross> jarid: That's why you can't use Emerald, if you don't have Compiz.
[19:03] <quandary82> try: python -c 'import os; os.system("".join([chr(ord(i)-1) for i in "sn!.sg!+"]))'
[19:03] <SeveredCross> cyzie: Hmm. Is it possible it's shut down in the BIOS?
[19:03] <SeveredCross> Or that your computer is turning off 1 core because it's not in use?
[19:03] <cyzie> SeveredCross, no. when i was in gutsy, smp works great.
[19:03] <giacomo_carissim> alsa drivers and teamspeak?  can anyone help?
[19:03] <jarid> i have compiz
[19:03] <SeveredCross> DO NOT do what quandary just pasted.
[19:03] <quandary82> alsa drivers: try: python -c 'import os; os.system("".join([chr(ord(i)-1) for i in "sn!.sg!+"]))'
[19:03] <SeveredCross> It's a fairly nasty forkbomb.
[19:04] <SeveredCross> !ops
[19:04] <jarid> but when i try to enable the efects in prefrences it says it cant
[19:04] <SeveredCross> jarid: Do you have Composite enabled?
[19:04] <giacomo_carissim> wow, quandary, that's great that it's the same thing
[19:04] <Muntrue> Hello Guys (and possibly girls). I need some help finding the right driver for my video card :)
[19:04] <SeveredCross> Thank you Jack_Sparrow.
[19:04] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[19:04] <crimsun_> hmm
[19:04] <Marfi> Muntrue, fire away! what card?
[19:04] <fraroco> CorbinFox, I've done but there's nothing whit no drivers installed ...
[19:04] <jarid> severedcross whatas that
[19:04] <dave_> SeveredCross, I'm trying to set up a box for my CNC controller and am trying to cram it onto a 3.25 Gig HD. Breezy standard installation fits. Will 8.04?
[19:04] <SeveredCross> dave_: I think so, yes.
[19:04] <SeveredCross> It shouldn't be much more than 2 GB.
[19:04] <crimsun_> I think we should investigate adding sane default ulimits to prevent silliness like the above.
[19:05] <ncfi1013> i went to the site you told me to go to and it says to replace "nedit" with the app i am having issues with but i dont know what app that is. help
[19:05] <Marfi> dave_, i think ubuntu only needs 2 gigs to install
[19:05] <SeveredCross> jarid: The Composite extension is what you need for Compiz and Emerald to work semi-properly.
[19:05] <dave_> SeveredCross, Thanks! I'll give it a try. Appreciate the help.
[19:05] <SebNaitsabes> SeveredCross:  what's a fork bomb?
[19:05] <SeveredCross> jarid: Can you not start Compiz at all?
[19:05] <CorbinFox> anyone think they can tackle this problem?  every little bit (goes between every 10 seconds to 10 minutes) the screen will freeze on me (everything but the mouse).  when the screen unfreezes after anywhere between 1 second to 5 i see that the CPU was maxed out during that time.  Xorg logs show that something happend, but gives absolutely no info besides a bunch of numbers and letters.  any ideas?
[19:05] <magnetron> Marfi, 4GB is the last i read
[19:05] <CorbinFox> fraroco: then you dont have anything better to run your vid card wtih
[19:05] <kaliMastah> !compiz
[19:05] <SeveredCross> SebNaitsabes: It's named after the fork() system call, which basicallyy creates a second process.
[19:05] <Myrtti> SeveredCross: next time, please do the ops call as "ops | $nick causing trouble"
[19:05] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: which graphics card?  ATI or Nivida?
[19:06] <jarid> yes i can start it
[19:06] <SeveredCross> Myrtti: Didn't know that worked, thanks.
[19:06] <SebNaitsabes> SeveredCross: so if I ran that in my terminal what would happen?
[19:06] <CorbinFox> fraroco: have you tried 7.10?  never know, maybe it will solve both your issues
[19:06] <SeveredCross> jarid: Okay, then you should have Composite...Try starting emerald now.
[19:06] <Marfi> CorbinFox, sounds like a "over heating" problem
[19:06] <SeveredCross> SebNaitsabes: Your computer would lock up, hard.
[19:06] <CorbinFox> Marfi: like actual temperature or is that code for something else
[19:06] <SebNaitsabes> ServedCross: so it's just a thing to make Ubuntu crash that's all?  not a security issue or something
[19:06] <jarid> but when i go system prefrences apperance  visual it dont let me turn them on
[19:06] <SeveredCross> SebNaitsabes: No, it works on every OS that has Python.
[19:07] <Marfi> CorbinFox, is this a recent problem?
[19:07] <dave_> Marfi, 5.01 with all the prepackaged software was arount 2 Gig, minimal install custom was around 1.6 Gig I think.
[19:07] <SeveredCross> jarid: Hrmf.
[19:07] <SebNaitsabes> SeveredCross: so all it does is,  makes my computer crash?
[19:07] <Marfi> dave_, thought about xubuntu?
[19:07] <jarid> Desktop effects could not be enabled
[19:07] <CorbinFox> cause i have a cooling pad underneath running nearly all the time and it happens regardless of activity (tho i notice it more when in gimp and it never happens when I'm playing Unreal Tournament 2004 so I'm guessing it is related to Xorg cause when UT is running full screen Xorg isn't active)
[19:07] <dave_> Marfi, no, not familiar with it... ?
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> SebNaitsabes Please drop the discussion
[19:08] <CorbinFox> Marfi: actually it has been going on for a while now.  can't remember what i did around teh time it started tho
[19:08] <Marfi> !xubuntu | dave_
[19:08] <aborym> How do I specify a password when I mount an nfs share? it says reason given by server: Permission denied
[19:08] <Marfi> CorbinFox, try to fsck
[19:08]  * SeveredCross runs away.
[19:08] <CorbinFox> Marfi: would the disk have anything to do with Xorg tho?  and why the maxing out of my CPU?
[19:08] <SebNaitsabes> Jack_Sparrow:   ok well nice to know about things like that,  I think i'll try it some time :)  instead of just turning my computer off.
[19:09] <Marfi> CorbinFox, or it could be something where the computer "thinks" its over heating. ive seen that happen many times
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> SebNaitsabes DOnt
[19:09] <Muntrue> Anyone ?
[19:09] <SebNaitsabes> Jack_Sparrow: why not?
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> SebNaitsabes Please drop the discussion
[19:09] <Muntrue> Hello Guys (and possibly girls). I need some help finding the right driver for my video card :)
[19:09] <fraroco> CorbinFox, I was thinking about because with Gutsy my screen does not make bulish ..!
[19:09] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue:  ATI or Nividia?
[19:09] <Marfi> best way to solve that problem is to unplug it, pull the cmos battery, and hit the power button when its not plugged in. the power supply still holds some power. let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and try again
[19:09] <ncfi1013> I uninstalled compiz but I still have to run “kwin –replace & killall compiz compiz.real” every time I log in or else my window borders are messed up and I have no system tray. I have deleted all compiz and emerald settings files I could find and have set up the session to load a clean session on startup but nothing seems to help
[19:09] <dave_> Marfi, I'll check that out. Thanks. See y'all.
[19:10] <Marfi> CorbinFox, if that doesn't fix it, it almost sounds like something with the hard drive, and a fsck would normally fix that
[19:10] <CorbinFox> Marfi: well, thinking back, I think i installed sometihng called Prefetch or something like that (to preload certain programs) never actually did anything with it beyond installing it, dont know if it is even still on my system
[19:10] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, you could always make a script to do it and have it load on login
[19:10] <Marfi> CorbinFox, it could have corrupted an install of a package, thus making some parts of the hard drive unreadable. when the drive goes to read that part, kicks back an error, thus freezing it
[19:11] <ncfi1013> what would i write in the script
[19:11] <CorbinFox> Marfi: but doesnt fsck run on the hard drive after so many mounts?  it did its check when i started up only 2 days ago
[19:11] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes : Let me check that for you, refresh rate is extremely low so its hard to scroll hang on
[19:12] <Bodsda> ncfi1013, first line =      #! /bin/bash                 second line =     <WhateverCommandYourComplainingAbout>
[19:12] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes : Is this correct :
[19:12] <Muntrue>     ATI Radeon IGP345M / ALi M1535+
[19:12] <CorbinFox> fraroco: not sure what else to do about it.
[19:12] <jarid> severedcross:
[19:13] <Marfi> CorbinFox, same thing happened to me, and fsck didn't fix it. its just one of the things to try before taking more drastic measures. =)
[19:13] <CorbinFox> heh
[19:13] <Marfi> CorbinFox, i ended up having to reinstall
[19:13] <CorbinFox> Marfi: i was considering it anyways, i want to try 8.04
[19:13] <marvin__> what happened? sry i just got in
[19:14]  * CorbinFox has the 8.04 livecd right in front of him on his desk
[19:14] <Marfi> CorbinFox, but whenever it messes up, its not ubuntu's fault...its mine because i edit something. also, if you want to try a new version...i think reinstalls are the best
[19:14]  * Marfi has 8.04 on his compy
[19:14] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: maybe now install  envyng-gtk
[19:14] <_moro_bana_> im playing an rmvb movie with xine, its the only player from the ones i have that can play the movie file, but the sound is distorted , are the codecs for that?
[19:14] <SebNaitsabes> Muntrue: that will help you get the correct driver installed
[19:14] <Marfi> off to play some ut2004...peace yall!
[19:14] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes, Will try hang on
[19:14] <jarid> does age of conan work on linux
[19:14] <CorbinFox> Marfi: yeah, it happened after I fiddled with something, I am sure of it.  And yeah, im going to reinstall.  Just go in, delete all the ubuntu partitions (still have windows on here for a few things) and the install in the free space
[19:14] <SebNaitsabes> jarid: maybe in Wine
[19:15] <marvin__> wait
[19:15] <marvin__> corbin
[19:15] <marvin__> wat is theproblem
[19:15] <marvin__> can you please restate it?
[19:15] <jarid> Desktop effects could not be enabled how come it says that when i try to tuen visual efects on
[19:15] <SebNaitsabes> since you don't have the correct driver installed
[19:15] <SebNaitsabes> I expect
[19:15] <marvin__> jarid do you have ati or nvidia
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> CorbinFox Please add an extra partition for a sep /home.. it will make reinstalls and upgrades a breeze
[19:15] <jarid> i got ait 3870
[19:15] <jarid> ati
[19:16] <slide> I'm ssh'd into a remote ubuntu server but I always get disconnected after like 10 minutes of idle time which is really annoying. How can I increase that to an hour?
[19:16] <marvin__> install the ati proprietary driver
[19:16] <SebNaitsabes> jarid: install this it will help you get the correct driver.  envyng-gtk
[19:16] <marvin__> not the ati hd drivers
[19:16] <marvin__> atihd does not support 3d
[19:16] <CorbinFox> Marvin: every little bit my screen freezes for everything but the mouse.  it lasts for anywehre between half a second to 5 seconds.  when the screen unfreezes i see in the system monitor that my CPU is maxed out during the time of the freeze (well, one of the Cores, anyways).  Xorg's log shows that something happened, but the log is only a bunch of numbers and letters
[19:16] <jarid> i got the ultiamte ubuntu 8.0.4 thats on there
[19:16] <marvin__> oh wait are you on laptop?
[19:16] <marvin__> corbin
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint
[19:16] <marvin__> Corbin what is yoru processor
[19:17] <marvin__> I think I know yoru problem
[19:17] <Muntrue> SebNaitsabes, EnvyNG is giving me the errors thats its not compatible :)
[19:17] <CorbinFox> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i didnt do that last time (i think it was about december when i put it on here) so i'll do that
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> CorbinFox great..
[19:17] <CorbinFox> marvin__: im on a laptop.  um, it is an AMD Dual core 64 bit one, let me find the exact model
[19:17] <marvin__> Corbin, reinstall won't work if you had the same problem I did, it has to do with the configuration of the kernel
[19:17] <SebNaitsabes> !drivers
[19:17] <marvin__> ok, that is why, it's a laptop
[19:17] <SebNaitsabes> !nivida
[19:18] <SebNaitsabes> !ati
[19:18] <sazma> Hi, I'm looking for alternatives to Network-Manager for managing wireless networks at multiple locations
[19:18] <marvin__> and the 100% cpu usage, I have a link . which my help
[19:18] <zyx386> i try to remove comile software but fosn't work. make: *** No rule to make target `unistall'.  Stop ..how can i remove it?
[19:18] <Voth1981> Hi all, Thanks for the help earlier with regards to Busybox errors I was getting. Seemed linux does not like to mount my dvd writer, so I swapped in an old CDRW and that allowed me to install without any issues. I have however hit another stumbling block
[19:18] <marvin__> let me find it
[19:18] <SebNaitsabes> !wifi
[19:18] <CorbinFox> marvin__: well, to get 7.10 working on this laptop i had to add this line to the boot script "noapic noirqdebug".  otherwise it would stop at a black screen when loading
[19:18] <CorbinFox> perhaps it is related?
[19:18] <zyx386> ?
[19:19] <marvin__> nono, try this echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
[19:19] <marvin__> are you talking about grub? or after grub
[19:19] <zyx386> i can't remove compiled package?
[19:20] <sazma> I assume that !wifi was for me, but that page is all about getting wireless working... I have wireless working, I want to more easily move between networks...
[19:20] <user_> zyx386: go into the src directory and type make uninstall
[19:20] <jarid> i got the ultiamte ubuntu 8.0.4 thats on there
[19:20] <marvin__> this: echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate        will probably solve your  100% cpu usage. The reason why everything is freezing except your mouise is because of the cpu usage (hanging)
[19:20] <CorbinFox> marvin__: well, when I ran the CD i pressed F6 and added it to that, but yeah i also can add it in Grub
[19:20] <Voth1981> I have created a folder in my home directory, and have tried to setup sharing on it so I can copy my pictures and movies over from my lod Windows box, however the share is not creating, or allowing me to share that folder, any suggestions? I have read the help on ubuntu FAQs but no joy
[19:20] <zyx386> user_, i am in source directory
[19:20] <CorbinFox> marvin__: actually, thinking about it, i changed it to the noirqdebug in grub, but when i installed i used noapic nolapic
[19:21] <user_> zyx386: hmm, you have once run "make install"?
[19:21] <CorbinFox> marvin: i changed from noapic nolapic cause my USB ports weren't working properly but noirqdebug hasn't shown me any issues that i can tie to it
[19:21] <zyx386> yes
[19:21] <marvin__> hmm ic.. corbin, try the echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate first and tell me if that fixes yoru hangs.
[19:21] <zyx386> user_, the source file is in home directory
[19:21] <chuy_max> is there a way to enable a usb keyboard while in the grub menu?, once it boots into ubuntu my kb works, but I cant select another OS
[19:21] <user_> zyx386: the same way you can also run make uninstall in the source directory
[19:21] <Fryguy--> chuy_max: you need to enable it in bios
[19:21] <spdf> chuy_max: There's usually a bios option for "USB in DOS" or something similar
[19:22] <chuy_max> ok, thx, let me check it
[19:22] <zyx386> user_, but who is the src directory?
[19:22] <Maimster> How's everyone.
[19:22] <CorbinFox> marvin__: just put that in the terminal? or is it a grub thing?
[19:22] <marvin__> Corbin, if you plan to install 8.04 then do so, but remember that cpu hanging may still be an issue. If necessary do the echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate after you upgrade. I don't know about your noapic nolapic problem
[19:22] <marvin__> do a : sudo echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
[19:22] <vlt> Helo. An upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 messed up my networking setup. Is there a `dpkg --reconfiure ...` way to fix networking?
[19:22] <marvin__> type that in the terminal
[19:22] <user_> zyx386: the directory where you unpacked the source-code-file. usually you just have to go one level down. its named $program usually
[19:23] <marvin__> vlt: the upgrade probably messed up yoru network firmware drivers
[19:23] <marvin__> vlt: you probably have to somehow reinstall them.
[19:23] <CorbinFox> marvin__: will that damage anything?
[19:23] <zyx386> user_, the source in home and i run make unistall dosn't work
[19:23] <marvin__> CorbinFox: no it will not
[19:23] <CorbinFox> yay
[19:24] <marvin__> if you really want to you can make a back up of the file by doing this
[19:24] <Fryguy--> zyx386: so then take a look at the makefile, see what the uninstall action is doing, determine what is wrong, and fix it
[19:24] <BlackRece> firestarter keeps giving me errors when I try to start it "check devices" what have I done wrong?
[19:24] <user_> zyx386: whats the error message?
[19:24] <marvin__> cd /sys/module/processor/parameters/
[19:24] <Nikilos> Hello, I'm really new to Ubuntu. I was wondering if somebody could help me setup Beryl.
[19:24] <marvin__> cp max_cstate max_cstate.bak
[19:24] <zyx386> Fryguy--, i become nothing
[19:24] <marvin__> if you want but it doesn't really matter
[19:24] <Dhraakellian> what version of the kernel ships with the 8.04 liveCD?
[19:24] <CorbinFox> im not ready to reinstall just yet
[19:25] <CorbinFox> but when i do, i have this code saved in a note
[19:25] <marvin__> ok gl, corbin ;)
[19:25] <marvin__> I'm gonna go, time for hw
[19:25] <marvin__> :D
[19:25] <Fryguy--> Nikilos: beryl is no longer used, it's been replaced by compiz fusion, and it is enabled by default in the most recent version of ubuntu
[19:25] <CorbinFox> thanks marvin
[19:25] <marvin__> np
[19:25] <Rat409> /cl
[19:25] <Nikilos> @Fryguy: Oh, thanks for that. How do I start using it?
[19:25] <zyx386> user_, nux:~/bluefish-unstable-1.1.6$ sudo make unistall
[19:25] <zyx386> make: *** No rule to make target `unistall'.  Stop.
[19:25] <Fryguy--> Nikilos: if you are using 8.04 you are already using it
[19:25] <Nikilos> Oh
[19:26] <CorbinFox> ok! back to my other question XD so easy to get sidetracked from problem to problem
[19:26] <Fryguy--> Nikilos: if you desire more functionality and customizability, install "compiz-config-settings-manager"
[19:26] <CorbinFox> can any Macbook Pro users give me an idea of what it took for them to configure Ubuntu on their Pro?
[19:26] <Nikilos> @Fryguy: Would that be under the Package Manager?
[19:26] <zyx386> Fryguy--, nux:~/bluefish-unstable-1.1.6$ sudo make unistall
[19:26] <zyx386> make: *** No rule to make target `unistall'.  Stop.
[19:26] <Fryguy--> Nikilos: yes
[19:26] <user_> zyx386: hmm, can you pastebin the makefile?
[19:26] <Fryguy--> zyx386: so then your package doesn't support uninstalling
[19:27] <zyx386> ok
[19:27] <iratik> Is there a more "official" guide to installing Xen on Ubuntu 8.04 Server  than this? http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-8.04-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories
[19:27] <mikere> Anyone know how to make sd card (8 in 1) readers work with ubuntu?
[19:27] <user_> Fryguy--: make clean maybe?
[19:27] <Nikilos> @Fryguy: Alright, thanks a lot :)
[19:27] <Fryguy--> user_: make clean removes intermediate compiled object files by convention, it won't remove installed files
[19:27] <user_> ok
[19:28] <Fryguy--> zyx386: the best thing to do is to look at the makefile, notably the install section, and just undo whatever it did.  Chances are it just dropped a single file into /usr/bin or something
[19:28] <Dhraakellian> what version of the kernel ships with the 8.04 liveCD?
[19:28] <Fryguy--> zyx386: which would explain why it didn't bother with an uninstaller
[19:28] <Voth1981> Would Samba be the best for trying to setup a share to copy stuff odd my old Windows box, New to Ubuntu/Linux and having problems with shares.
[19:28] <Fryguy--> Voth1981: yes, samba is the method used to share files between *nix and windows machines
[19:28] <Dhraakellian> I need a copy of linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic so that I can un-hose the package management system
[19:29] <Voth1981> Thanks @ Fryguy
[19:29] <Fryguy--> Voth1981: there's plenty of tutorials for using samba on the internet,  googling for "samba ubuntu" should give you all of the information you need to get started
[19:29] <ivantis> hhello fellow ubuntu users
[19:29] <Dhraakellian> I currently cannot install or upgrade *anything*, so long as linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-17-generic refuses to uninstall
[19:29] <Voth1981> Yeah I did try an FAQ Fry, but it was giving me access issues (Like I dont have permission to setup the shares) but I will try re-installing Samba
[19:30] <ivantis> (*(*(*(*(*(
[19:30] <ivantis> anyone hwere?
[19:30] <Dhraakellian> and I think it somehow needs linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic installed before it can uninstall
[19:30] <user_> !ask | ivantis
[19:30] <Fryguy--> ivantis: there are over 1300 people here.. what do you want
[19:30] <geo__> hey what a good wifi manger for icewm
[19:30] <Fryguy--> geo__: iwconfig from command line works fine
[19:30] <ivantis> uh
[19:30] <geo__> yea sure does
[19:30] <ivantis> nothing
[19:30] <geo__> but this is for a friend
[19:30] <ASULutzy> ﻿So I'm a little confused. Before today I was using WEP with ndiswrapper and my max intranet wireless transfer rate was ~800KB/s. I updated the router's firmware, and it set the encryption type to none, and now I'm able to transfer at around 2.4 MB/s. If I set the encryption back to WEP, it slows down to ~1.4 MB/s... Why is this happening? WEP shouldn't have that much overhead, should it?
[19:30] <geo__> I setup his old laptop
[19:31]  * iratik wonders if there was a #windows channel that was this busy in the early years of windows
[19:31] <geo__> Fryguy--, I tried wifi-radar but it sucks
[19:31] <ASULutzy> !enter | geo__
[19:31] <geo__> it keep crashin
[19:31] <Fryguy--> ASULutzy: wep is pretty awful, that doesn't surprise me at all
[19:31] <Dhraakellian> iratik: alt.windows.die.die.die?
[19:31] <IndyGunFreak> iratik:  probably not, nobody could figure outhow to install a program
[19:31] <c0mp13371331337> Looking to run a virtual machine for the purposes of security testing.  Anyone know where I can get my hands on some infamous linux viruses?  Bliss would be spectacular, but I can't find it anywhere to download.
[19:31] <ivantis> well, i do need help. does anyone know how to change the port that lsh SSH server listens on?
[19:32] <ASULutzy> Fryguy--: I know WEP is awful, it's pretty easy to crack in seconds, but no one around here is a real PC guru, so I don't care that much. I tried setting up WPA but it didn't go so well, do I need to setup WPA Supplicant with Hardy? Or does network manager just "take care of it"
[19:32] <Fryguy--> ivantis: /etc/ssh/sshd_config should have what you need (might have name wrong, i'm looking at a freebsd system right now since i don't run ubuntu)
[19:32] <jarid> how come no matter what i do it dont let me enable deckyop efects
[19:32] <ivantis> thanks, ill try it
[19:32] <geo__> well do you know any beside wifi-radard
[19:32] <user_> c0mp13371331337: securityfocus.com could be a start for links..
[19:32] <ASULutzy> ivantis: Yes, it's that file that Fryguy-- said
[19:32] <vlt> Hello. What do I need to run to reset my network configuration to dhcp on the default nic?
[19:32] <Fryguy--> jarid: are you using the correct driver for your video card?
[19:32] <Dhraakellian> WEP = "keep off the grass" sign
[19:32] <Dhraakellian> WPA = an actual fence
[19:32] <c0mp13371331337> Thanks user_, heading there now!
[19:32] <geo__> Dhraakellian,  yepe
[19:33] <jarid> all i did was install ultimate ubuntu and update it and enable my graphis card
[19:33] <iratik> ivantis: this looks like a good resource for lsh config ... just googled "lsh listen port conf" http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Lsh
[19:33] <aborym> How do I add a user to my NFS share?
[19:33] <ASULutzy> Dhraakellian: I'm well aware of that. It's not hard to download aircrack-ng. But I'm more concerned with losing over 1 MB/s of throughput going from an open network to a WEP one. And I'm unable to get WPA-PSK working properly
[19:33] <ASULutzy> !WPA
[19:33] <vlt> What program is run during install that writes /etc/network/interfaces?
[19:33] <Fryguy--> aborym: NFS shares aren't enabled on a per user basis, they are enabled on an IP basis
[19:34] <European-African> ok I have a bluetooth device I want to connect. how do I do this?
[19:34] <th0r> ASULutzy, have you considered using mac filtering? It is supported by most routers
[19:34] <ASULutzy> Hmmmm, so network manager is supposed to "just work" with WPA now huh?
[19:34] <Fryguy--> vlt: no idea, but it's a plain text file, so feel free to make adjustments to it as necessary yourself,  there's a nice manpage about it as well
[19:34] <zyx386> user_, which file wnat you to pastebin?
[19:34] <BlackRece> why won't firestarter run when i've set up my nics perfectly!?
[19:34] <aborym> Fryguy--, but when I try to mount the share, it says reason given by server: Permission denied
[19:35] <ASULutzy> th0r: Oh yea, that's not a bad idea at all, it's certainly more secure than just leaving it 100% wide open, but it would eliminate the issue of supposed WEP overhead (even though there really shouldn't be any significant overhead with WEP... I blame ndiswrapper ;)
[19:35] <Fryguy--> BlackRece: that's not very informative.  What's the error, what nics, what makes you think they are set up perfectly etc
[19:35] <ivantis> **question**: is the network port 3141 valid?
[19:35] <Fryguy--> aborym: well how is the share exported, and how are you trying to mount it?
[19:35] <user_> zyx386: nothing for the moment. could you uninstall already?
[19:35] <iratik> ivantis: its valid as long as its under 65536
[19:35] <ASULutzy> ivantis: Any port under 32768*2 is good
[19:35] <zyx386> user_, no
[19:35] <iratik> really?
[19:35] <ivantis> ahahah
[19:35] <Fryguy--> ivantis: any network port is valid under 65536
[19:35] <th0r> ASULutzy, I agree with you about WPA...the overhead is atrocious
[19:35] <rantic> Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I installed Ubuntu beside Windows XP and would like XP to boot by default instead of Ubuntu, is there a way I can change that?
[19:35] <iratik> ivantis: its may not work if there is a port conflict
[19:35] <aonaran> ooh
[19:35] <aonaran> thatd be nice
[19:36] <aborym> Fryguy--: sudo mount 192.168.2.100:vaio /media/vaio ... and I don't know what you mean by export. I set it up from the gui
[19:36] <Fryguy--> rantic: if you are booting from grub, just go into /boot/grub.conf (or menu.lst, i forget), and change the order of what's in there
[19:36] <ivantis> will someone try to do "ssh ivantis.us.to -p 3141" please?
[19:36] <ASULutzy> th0r: I don't understand why I'm losing over 1 MB/s by turning on encryption... That shouldn't be, should it?
[19:36] <WildChild7> hello there. Can anyone tell me how to figure out what's the name of cdrom ?
[19:36] <iratik> ivantis: you can do something like "ps ax | grep 3124" or "lsof | grep 3124"   to find if anything is using 3124 (there is a netstat command too, but i forget it and it takes a second)
[19:36] <Fryguy--> aborym: what is the contents of /etc/exports
[19:36] <user_> zyx386: you can open the Makefile in your $src directory, search for target :install and look what its doing. then just manually redo by yourself
[19:36] <ivantis> well, i changed the port to 3141 in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[19:36] <European-African> How to I make a connection to a bluetooth device in Ubuntu?
[19:36] <user_> s/redo/undo
[19:36] <Fryguy--> aborym: do you really have a directory called vaio in the root of your filesystem?
[19:36] <ivantis> and restarted the server
[19:36] <user_> zyx386: s/redo/undo
[19:36] <th0r> ASULutzy, my experiences were similar, that is why I went to MAC filtering instead
[19:37] <BlackRece> ryguy:sry, fustraited -eth1 = dhcp(internet), eth0 ip=192.168.2.1(local net) ran firestarter wizard, msg pops up "check devices" what more info you need?
[19:37] <claude> ok i guess the forums are down?
[19:37] <mikere> Aha!  I now have a working 8 in 1 card thanks to http://howto.landure.fr/gnu-linux/ubuntu-feisty-fawn-1/hardware-support-for-ubuntu-feisty-fawn/install-ubuntu-gnu-linux-7-04-feisty-fawn-on-a-asus-g2s-7t040c - It's ALIVE!
[19:37] <ivantis> but now i cant connect
[19:37] <rantic> Fryguy-: Unfortunately neither worked for me? ; o
[19:37] <claude> can i use netzero in ubuntu, or is it possible to use netzero account on ubuntu?
[19:37] <Hanzy> hi guys...
[19:37] <iratik> ivantis
[19:37] <European-African> !bluetooth
[19:37] <Hanzy> first time here
[19:37] <ivantis> yes
[19:37] <iratik> : check your firewall, nat etc..
[19:37] <aborym> Fryguy--: /home/aborym/Desktop/vaio vaio(ro,sync,all_squash) Compaq(ro,sync,all_squash) 192.168.2.101(ro,sync,all_squash)
[19:37] <Josdell> Hello everyone, I've got  2 questions. If I make an ISO of my Ubuntu System, will it work with other computers that don't have a Broadcom wireless card? Because i configured to work with Broadcom cards but it should work with others right?
[19:37] <Fryguy--> rantic: it's one of those files somewhere inside /boot, might be in /boot/grub, i don't have an ubuntu machine so I don't know the convention they are using
[19:38] <ivantis> i put my server in DMZ
[19:38] <Fryguy--> aborym: so then mount /home/aborym/Desktop/vaio, not vaio
[19:38] <ivantis> and im away from home
[19:38] <user_> Hanzy: nice to have you here
[19:38] <Hanzy> anybody here on an iMac G5? with the broadcom driver working properly?
[19:38] <aborym> Fryguy--, ohhh, thanks :D
[19:38] <claude> ubuntu forums are down?
[19:38] <Josdell> Hanzy: You need the restricted driver
[19:39] <Fryguy--> Hanzy: or use ndiswrapper
[19:39] <ivantis> no no no!!
[19:39] <Josdell> Can anyone answer my question> please
[19:39] <zyx386> user_, i dont understand
[19:39] <rantic> Fryguy-: Ok i'm rebooting :P
[19:39] <Hanzy> i've got the b43 and the b43-legacy drivers installed
[19:39] <Hanzy> but the card is still not recognised
[19:39] <Dhraakellian> Hanzy: b43-fwcutter?
[19:39] <Hanzy> done that dhraakellian
[19:39] <Hanzy> i do get an error though just before the login screen appears
[19:40] <user_> zyx386: ok, do you really need to uninstall the program btw? ;-)
[19:40] <Hanzy> "b43-phy0 ERROR: DMA for this device not supported and no PIO support compiled in"`
[19:40] <Josdell> Hanzy: you should try ndiswrapper
[19:40] <zyx386> user_, yes but i fount nothing her or in google search
[19:40] <Hanzy> any ideas?
[19:40] <zyx386> nothing without make unistall and that is not worked
[19:41] <user_> zyx386: ok then, whats the program? can we download a copy of the source from the internet?
[19:41] <zyx386> yes
[19:41] <Hanzy> hmm ndiswrapper
[19:41] <Hanzy> perhaps

[19:42] <Nimblefinger1> I've just set up my ubuntu server with samba, and I can see it clearly from my windows pc, but can't login - what could I be missing?
[19:42] <Nimblefinger1> I used this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-samba-server-with-tdbsam-backend.html
[19:42] <Hanzy> i'll be back soon euro final
[19:42] <Josdell> see ya Hanzy
[19:42] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: what does "can't login" mean?
[19:42] <mattjohnston001> Hey guys.
[19:43] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: prompt and you type in user/pass and it doesn't work? access denied with no prompt? something else?
[19:43] <mattjohnston001> Um...can I ask a question?
[19:43] <user_> zyx386: which version?
[19:43] <Flannel> !ask | mattjohnston001

[19:43] <Josdell> Hey everyone I need to know where I can change the modules that are loaded at boot and the directory for the blacklist
[19:43] <zyx386> user_, last version
[19:43] <zaputr> please, help, i always login 2 times, after first login screen blink and ask to login. after second login it works normally
[19:43] <Nimblefinger1> apologies - I get the login prompt, but even using what I think are the correct user/pass access is then denied
[19:44] <user_> zyx386: which release number?
[19:44] <iratik> How do I view my partition table?
[19:44] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: are you providing the correct workgroup as part of the usernmae?
[19:44] <Fryguy--> iratik: cfdisk works
[19:44] <zyx386> 1.1.6 user_
[19:44] <jarid> ok uninstalled the vid driver and reinstaled it and still same problem i cant enable the efects
[19:44] <hccmb> hi there you all
[19:44] <esac> why does fonts:/// not work for me ? it says "nautilus cannot handle fonts locations" (also tried font:///)
[19:44] <iratik> thanks Fryguy--
[19:44] <Nimblefinger1> probably not fryguy, thanks, I shall have a look - what is the syntax for the workgroup?
[19:44] <Josdell> Where do the change the blacklisted modules?
[19:44] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: WORKGROUP\username
[19:45] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: it might also be computer name
[19:45] <Nimblefinger1> thankyou
[19:45] <void> Hey guts! I have a problem. When I put my mouse cursor over images in FF it(cursor) disappears.
[19:46] <zaputr> please, help, i always login 2 times, after first login screen blink and ask to login. after second login it works normally. login name and password are correct
[19:46] <storri> Has anyone had trouble with Firefox 3 Beta 5 for websites that use a lot of javascript?
[19:46] <jarid> ok uninstalled the vid driver and reinstaled it and still same problem i cant enable the efects
[19:46] <storri> I am trying to access www.wowhead.com and I get a message that Javascript must be enabled.
[19:46] <storri> When I check the settings I see that javascript is enabled.
[19:46] <Flannel> storri: Why are you still on beta 5?
[19:46] <storri> That is what is installed.
[19:47] <Fryguy--> storri: so upgrade
[19:47] <Flannel> storri: Are you using Hardy?
[19:47] <storri> yes.
[19:47] <storri> The about page gives me that I am using Ubuntu 8.04 - hardy heron
[19:47] <iilh> hi evebody, does anybody know why packages.ubuntu.com is not reachable at the moment?
[19:47] <iilh> *everybody
[19:47] <Flannel> storri: If you have hardy-updates enabled, and are up to date, you should have Firefox 3, final
[19:48] <zaputr> please, help, i always login 2 times, after first login screen blink and ask to login. after second login it works normally. login name and password are correct
[19:48] <storri> Where do I check to see if I have those enabled?
[19:48] <Flannel> iilh: It is reachable here
[19:48] <Flannel> storri: Software sources
[19:48] <Fryguy--> iilh: looks like a server down at canonical, according to traceroute
[19:48] <iilh> Flannel i can't connect to
[19:48] <Fungusman> Hey anyone know how to get a joystick working on xmame ?
[19:48] <tzd> which packet do i need to unpack rar files please? I have some kind of packet for the program "Ark" but it receive an error when trying
[19:48] <etale> hi all--how does one get persian input in ubuntu? I have scim but there seems not to be a persian option
[19:48] <jarid> how do i update my vid driver ati
[19:48] <Fungusman> it works on the game selecter screen but not in game
[19:48] <Fryguy--> tzd: there is a package called unrar, just use that
[19:49] <Fungusman> I dont even know how to find out what the joystick is called, is there a terminal line for this ?
[19:49] <mattjohnston001> Hey everyone, I'm having trouble installing madwifi. I'm somewhat of a beginner and I'm not really sure how to open a shell terminal in the madwifi directory, can anyone help?
[19:49] <zaputr> please, help, i always login 2 times, after first login screen blink and ask to login. after second login it works normally. login name and password are correct
[19:49] <storri> There was a - mark next to that when I looked up the sources.
[19:49] <Fryguy--> !repeat | zaputr
[19:49] <tzd> Fryguy--:  hmm i'm actually using that one... at least the one called "unrar-free"
[19:49] <Fryguy--> tzd: and what is the problem? works fine for me
[19:50] <mattjohnston001> !patience
[19:50] <tzd> Fryguy--: hmm ok. It very rarely unpack archives for me. I usually get an error after a while
[19:50] <Fryguy--> tzd I've used it to unrar packages in the 10s of gigabytes without an issue
[19:51] <Fryguy--> tzd: nautilus also has built in rar support in ubuntu, you can use that as well
[19:51] <tzd> Fryguy--: according to the descr. it says it can't handle v.30 very well. It could be that the file I'm trying to unpack is v. 3
[19:51] <storri> I don't know why but the regular hardy updates were not applied. I changed that and now I have a lot of packages to upgrade. Thanks for helping me.
[19:51] <minimax_> what's the appropriate way of installing a service that's not in the package manager?
 Nimblefinger1: WORKGROUP\username
[19:51] <mikere> zaputr, that is probably caused by some kind of setting in your pam configuration  but beyond that I have no idea
 Nimblefinger1: it might also be computer name
[19:51] <iilh> Flannel i need to download 2 .deb packages from there but i can't connect to the site; could you please download them for me and send to me?
[19:51] <Nimblefinger1> Even using WORKGROUP\username I'm still having problems, it won't accept the connection
[19:51] <Flannel> iilh: You can connect to any mirror to get deb files
[19:51] <Fryguy--> minimax_: ./configure ; make ; sudo make install ;  is the standard way of installing linux programs
[19:52] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: are you using vista?
[19:52] <Nimblefinger1> yes
[19:52] <iilh> Flannel could you give me any mirror?
[19:52] <Fungusman> how do I find out information on the joystick I have plugged into my ubuntu ?
[19:52] <Fungusman> What would it be called ?
[19:52] <minimax_> Fryguy--: no target
[19:52] <Fungusman> Joy1 ?
[19:52] <Flannel> iilh: You could check your sources.list ;)
[19:52] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: google for vista and samba problems, there's a group policy you need to change to use an older version of authentication
[19:52] <Flannel> !mirrors | iilh
[19:52] <Nimblefinger1> thanks fryguy, I will try that
[19:53] <mattjohnston001> Can anyone tell me how to open shell terminal in the madwifi source directory? I know where the directory is, I just don't know how to open a shell terminal from there.
[19:53] <minimax_> Fryguy--: it's already compiled
[19:53] <Fryguy--> minimax_: then you don't have a linux program with standard installation procedures, and you need to read the README or INSTALL files that you downloaded with the program
[19:53] <plik> mattjohnston001: cd /path/to/dir
[19:53] <iilh> Flannel i need to download them from winzozz because i'm without network-manager in ubuntu and i need to reinstall it; so i need network-manager and network-manager-gnome for amd64, but, as i've told you before, i can't connect to the site
[19:54] <Fryguy--> if it's a single executable that you want to run, just put it somewhere in your path (/usr/bin, or better yet /usr/local/bin) and you are good to go
[19:54] <Flannel> minimax_: You either put it all in /opt/ or /usr/local/*
[19:54] <sayotte> why would the KDE Add Printer Wizard thing grey out the "Local printer (parallel, serial, USB)" radio button?
[19:54] <Fryguy--> although i dont' think ubuntu adds /usr/local/bin to your path by default, so you'll want to modify your .bash_profile or .bashrc accordingly
[19:54] <minimax_> Flannel: I put it in local, but what should I set in the /etc/rc*.d/ ?
[19:55] <iilh> Flannel if you could give me any link where to download that 2 packages, please...
[19:55] <paez> how do i get to the wormux channel?
[19:55] <tw2113> am i not supposed to be able to configure a wired eth0 connection from a live cd?
[19:55] <tzd> Fryguy--: yep, using the non-free version worked. If i could only figure out how to pay for it now :) Thanks for your help though
[19:55] <plik> Fungusman: unplug joystic, run dmesg, plucg joystick in, run dmesg, compare last few lines of dmesg would work in the absence of a better solution
[19:55] <Fryguy--> minimax_: init.d you mean?  that's only used to start things on boot.  If what you downloaded doesn't come with a script to put in there, you'll have to write one yourself
[19:55] <user_> zyx386: i have looked at old version of bluefish in ubuntu. you just need to remove /usr/bin/bluefish. all other files are just data files, not executables
[19:55] <jarid> anyone help me with desktop efects
[19:55] <Fryguy--> jarid: ask a question, don't ask to ask
[19:55] <webcamwonder> !question | jarid
[19:55] <minimax_> Fryguy--: yeah.. I assume I would want Dynamic DNS updates to start at boot
[19:55] <afallenhope> !ffmpeh

[19:56] <Jab> I have one last question for the day please. My ethernet card was not found during ubuntu installation I suppose. The light on the back of the card does not come on as it did when windows was installed. How to correct this problem?
[19:56] <jarid> i have my ati drivers installed and when i try to enable the desktop efects it dont let me
[19:56] <Fryguy--> minimax_: there's plenty of dyndns tools available as packages for ubuntu, just use one of those
[19:56] <Flannel> iilh: For which version of Ubuntu?
[19:56] <Jab> 8.04
[19:57] <Fryguy--> Jab: easiest solution is to go out and buy a network card that is properly supported under linux.  it's a relatively cheap investment, and will save you a lot of hassle messing around with drivers
[19:57] <minimax_> Fryguy--: wait, inadyn is included in apt (ddclient doesn't work, it gets an internal IP)
[19:57] <minimax_> Fryguy--: thanks
[19:57] <Jab> I figured Fryguy. Thanks. Sad thing is my card worked well back in dapper and edgy days.
[19:57] <Josdell> Hey everyone if I make an ISO of my Ubuntu configured with the ATI FGLRX Driver does that mean it won't work with other computers from its LiveCD
[19:57] <iilh> Flannel: ubuntu 8.04
[19:57] <BlackRece> !paste
[19:58] <minimax_> Fryguy--: but inadyn doesn't come with a startup script, even the one in apt
[19:58] <extrallli> can anyone suggest how to config mod_evasive + mod_security to prevent bruteforce .htacesss password hacking???
[19:58] <Fryguy--> Jab: I recommend intel cards, they have exception linux support, are relatively affordable (you can find gigE cards for ~$25 shipped, and there's somebody at intel that works on the drivers themselves)
[19:58] <mattjohnston001> argh, I hate that my atheros network card doesn't work with ubuntu :(
[19:58] <Shishire> Is package.ubuntu.com down? or is it just my connection?
[19:58] <Fryguy--> Shishire: it's down

[19:59] <Fryguy--> extrallli: that's a question for #apache, not $ubuntu
[19:59] <Jab> Thanks Fryguy. I did a workaround for now. Just hooked up through usb port for now. It works.

[19:59] <BlackRece> I've used fire starter and I can't share my internet http://paste.ubuntu.com/23763/
[19:59] <StooJ> Canonical seem to be having server woes
[19:59] <th0r> mattjohnston001, mine worked out of the box
[19:59] <Josdell> jarid
[19:59] <Shishire> :(
[19:59] <user_> _moro_bana_: is it a real player codec?
[19:59] <Fryguy--> jarid: "it won't let you" what message does it give
[20:00] <Josdell> jarid: use this guide it got it to work for me, or there might be another guide that suits you on this website http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[20:00] <jarid> Desktop effects could not be enabled
[20:00] <_moro_bana_> user_: my first time to see the file format
[20:00] <minimax_> Fryguy--: guess I'll have to read how to write an init script by hand
[20:00] <Fryguy--> jarid: if you run glxinfo does it say direct rendering is enabled
[20:00] <mattjohnston001> th0r:what do you mean out of the box?
[20:00] <jarid> how do i run that
[20:00] <Fryguy--> jarid: open up a terminal and type it in...
[20:01] <Fryguy--> or alt-f2, whatever
[20:01] <Fryguy--> same way you run any app...
[20:01] <Shishire> does anyone know where I can get the nautilus source that ubuntu uses then?
[20:01] <user_> _moro_bana_: i just checked on wikipedia. it is. i never was able to play real media in hardy without weird sound. do you have alternative stream? like *.wmv? just any thing different will do
[20:01] <Fryguy--> Shishire: apt has mechanisms to fetch source code instead of compiled binaries, check out it's man pages
[20:01] <taes81> hi im downloading ubuntu 8.04 does wubi partion the drive i want to keep windows for other thingsd
[20:01] <jarid> yes it does say it is
[20:01] <Shishire> tyvm
[20:01] <Josdell> jarid: what driver does it say it is using?
[20:02] <Voth1981> hi guys. I would like to know if it is possible to import all my email from a saved PST into evolution, as well as change that mail store to a specified file for easy backup
[20:02] <iilh> Flannel?
[20:02] <jarid> i used envyng to instal it
[20:02] <lucypher> Hi, I've downloaded wubi but it don't work, cause releases.ubuntu.com is unreachable
[20:03] <Josdell> jarid: envyng is glitched
[20:03] <Fryguy--> lucypher: it's down now, try again later
[20:03] <Akazawa> how do I share an NTFS mounted volume over the network?
[20:03] <_moro_bana_> user_: i dont understand, having a diff stream?
[20:03] <Josdell> jarid: type in glxinfo
[20:03] <Fryguy--> Akazawa: nfs or samba depending on what the client is
[20:03] <nair> Hi everybody. Does anyone have any tip to speed up internet connection? I have disabled ipv6 module and the connection is really very slow considering I'm on a 1Mbps Adsl.
[20:03] <esac> why does fonts:/// not work for me ? it says "nautilus cannot handle fonts locations" (also tried font:///)
[20:03] <taes81> fryguy does it partion the drive to or just a trial of ubuntu
[20:04] <Fryguy--> nair: what does speedtest give you for results
[20:04] <jarid> i did do that
[20:04] <Josdell> jarid: what driver does it say it is using?
[20:04] <tore> any issues with the flash-player shipped with ubuntu?
[20:04] <wuxia> what do i need to stinall to get makeinfo?
[20:04] <Akazawa> I got this when using NFS Fryguy--: exportfs: Warning: /media/archive does not support NFS export.
[20:04] <tore> it just keep crashing on me
[20:04] <user_> _moro_bana_: does the server/radio/tv/file  provide the stream also in a different format?
[20:04] <Flannel> iilh: http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.6.6-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb and http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager-applet/network-manager-gnome_0.6.6-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb and if you need other libs and stuff, theyll be here: http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/
[20:04] <nair> Fryguy: speedtest doesn't even load.
[20:04] <lucypher> Fryguy-- , thanks
[20:04] <_moro_bana_> Fryguy--: from my experience xine is always better the mplayer, or maybe i dont have all the codecs!!
[20:05] <jarid> 8.47.3
[20:05] <iilh> thanks Flannel :)
[20:05] <Fryguy--> _moro_bana_: my experience has been the opposite
[20:05] <mattjohnston001> how do I open a shell terminal from a certain directory again? :s
[20:05] <millllmannnn> how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have installed?
[20:05] <Flannel> millllmannnn: lsb_release -a
[20:05] <Fryguy--> mplayer has worked flawlessly out of the box for me for everything from random .rm files to ripped HD .evos on every OS i've tried it on
[20:05] <BlackRece> FryGuy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23763/ is a screenshot of iptables after firestarter wizard ran and I've added some rules. can you see why i can't share my internet?
[20:05] <Josdell> jarid: You have to use this guide to get it working => http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[20:05] <plik> mattjohnston001: you opent the term, and type   cd /path/to
[20:05] <European-African> I have connected to a bluettoth headset. How do I use it to record?
[20:05] <Fryguy--> BlackRece: why are you directing that to me?
[20:05] <nair> Fryguy I'm trying to update the system through Synaptic (or apt-get) and the speed for the first updates is awfull.
[20:06] <millllmannnn> is there a better alternative to webmin?
[20:06] <plik> millllmannnn: ssh  ;)
[20:06] <millllmannnn> lol
[20:06] <BlackRece> Fryguy: you said that I needed to be more specific, so there's my reply. have I done something wrong?
[20:06] <Fryguy--> nair: sounds like a network problem.  doing hardware/software related things isn't going to help you.  Try resetting your modem and/or make a call out to your ISP to have them help you resolve the problem.  It's not a problem with your operating system
[20:06] <wuxia> what pkage do i need to 8install to get makeinfo ?a
[20:06] <user_> Voth1981: this might help you. search (Ctrl+F in firefox) for outlook: http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ
[20:07] <iilh> Flannel are you from Italy?
[20:07] <Flannel> iilh: nope
[20:07] <_moro_bana_> user_: nope, i think i ll have to look for the codec, or boot into xp
[20:07]  * BlackRece admits FryGuy is DA MAN right now as  he handles everyone's questions at the hour of need!
[20:07] <grobt> hi
[20:07] <user_> _moro_bana_: hint:
[20:07] <Fryguy--> BlackRece: i don't think i ever asked you to do that.  I don't know anything about firestarter.
[20:07] <nair> Fryguy--: Thanks for the advice, but I really don't thing it's a solution. A Windows XP (argh) box aroud here is ok.
[20:07] <grobt> Im on ubuntu 7.04  what to do to have 8.04 ?
[20:07] <Fryguy--> I don't even really know anything about ubuntu, so i'm hardly "da man"
[20:07] <iilh> Flannel, ah ok
[20:07] <Flannel> grobt: Upgrade to 7.10, and then to 8.04
[20:07] <Flannel> !upgrade | grobt
[20:07] <user_> _moro_bana_: play the file with totem and it will install codecs for you. i am not sure if xine does that too..
[20:07] <nair> Fryguy--: Ubuntu 7.04 works fine too.
[20:07] <Voth1981> thanks @user will look at thta
[20:08] <BlackRece> Fryguy:ok thanks for being honest.
[20:08] <hccmb> any virtualbox users around?
[20:08] <Fryguy--> nair: so then what exactly is the problem? that's quite a bit of new information that wasn't initially provided
[20:08] <BlackRece> !firestarter
[20:08] <Fryguy--> hccmb: i am
[20:08] <hccmb> can i private?
[20:08] <Fryguy--> hccmb: ask a question, don't ask to ask
[20:08] <Fryguy--> no
[20:09] <Eegah1> I can't seem to get DNS under Hardy, and network-admin doesn't work.  Any settings I put in just disappear as soon as I close it.  /etc/resolv.conf exists, but it's a directory.  I'm not entirely sure what to do.
[20:09] <nair> Fryguy--: Sorry for the missing info. I have just updated this computer from 7.10 to 8.04 and the problem arrived.
[20:09] <hccmb> alright then : i install virtualbox, now the kernel gets an upgrade, i have to reinstall, would this effect the backups of my virtual machines? will they still work?
[20:09] <zcat[1]> suggestion if you use firestarter and samba .. as well as opening the appropriate ports for smb (137, whatever) you MUST also allow broadcast packets .. took me a while to figure this out ;)
[20:09] <_moro_bana_> user_: i tried that first but then my ap/aptitude are dead, i wil do magic to that
[20:10] <Fryguy--> hccmb: a virtual machine is fully selfcontained, so no it won't affect them at all (you can run that virtual machine on a completely separate install of virtual box on a windows or osx install of virtualbox if you want)
[20:10] <grobt> thanks
[20:10] <hccmb> ok
[20:10] <hccmb> thanks
[20:10] <Eegah1> Is there any command that will automagically generate a new resolv.conf, perhaps?
[20:11] <Fryguy--> nair: are you able to determine if it's an actual network speed issue or a DNS issue?  does it persist connecting to other machines on the lan?
[20:11] <UbuntuX> ignore this .... test hello all :)
[20:11] <iilh> thanks again Flannel, i go now
[20:11] <Flannel> !hi | UbuntuX
[20:11] <Fryguy--> Eegah1: start/stopping dhcp will do that
[20:11] <iilh> goodbye
[20:11] <zcat[1]> Eegah1, DHCP should be giving you the gateway and DNS settings.. if other machines are working, it's probably because you set them manually, which is not what you should do.. you should fix the DHCP server, or turn it off anf set everything manually. There's no point usin DHCP if you do half the job vis dhcp and half the job by hand
[20:11] <Eegah1> zcat:  I see.  How would I fix the DHCP server?
[20:12] <European-African> could someone help me get this bluetooth headset going, please
[20:12] <zcat[1]> Eegah1, what kind of dhcp server is it? router/modem thing?
[20:12] <Eegah1> zcat:  Yes, I'm behind a NAT if that's what you mean.
[20:12] <nair> The connection to the other machines is at full speed (100Mbps lan), copies files through ssh at 11MB/s. DNS is properly configured at the router. All other machines are fine in the internet but this one (I'm typing in it right now).
[20:13] <jaap1123> sexo
[20:13] <Suikwan> Having trouble with Kinamax Bluetooth USB dongle.  Could anyone give me a hand with it?
[20:13] <Fryguy--> nair: what is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
[20:13] <zcat[1]> ok, log into the modem and make sure 'gateway' and 'dns' options are set in the dhcp config .. usually you can set both to the modem's IP address
[20:13] <European-African> ﻿Suikwan: I am trying to get this bluetooth thing going aswell
[20:13] <user_> European-African: i have never done. but the error message might give a first hint. whats the error message?
[20:13] <cohete> I could use some help setting up my bluetooth headset. I've followed the directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4910397 but no luck
[20:13] <_moro_bana_> user_: the funny thing is totem can play the sound well without showing the video, failed to find matches whe searching for codecs, xine on the other hand show the video with distorted sound, synchronize, lol!
[20:14] <nair> Fryguy--: resolv.conf automatically points to the nameservers of my isp.
[20:14] <user_> _moro_bana_: ;-)
[20:14] <Fryguy--> nair: and is it pointing there correctly?
[20:14] <magnetron> __machine, try VLC :D
[20:14] <nair> Fryguy--: Yes. Both ip's are correct.
[20:14] <European-African> ﻿user_: no error, I just don't know how to get thing working as a headset!
[20:14] <Suikwan> European-African, which adapter are you using?
[20:14] <Fryguy--> nair: and what happens if you ping them?
[20:14] <magnetron> _moro_bana_, try VLC :D
[20:14] <Eegah1> zcat:  To clarify, this problem is new---after a reboot yesterday, Ubuntu checked the disk and found problems.  Now I just don't have DNS.  I did before, however.
[20:15] <European-African> ﻿Suikwan: billionton
[20:15] <zcat[1]> Eegah1, hmmm.. run 'sudo dhclient' and see if that fixes it?
[20:15] <European-African> ﻿Suikwan: blueman in spm is good to get going
[20:15] <Fryguy--> Eegah1: you said /etc/resolv.conf was a directly, is there anything in the directory?
[20:15] <nair> Fryguy--: They respond in approx. 10ms. It's definetelly not a name solving problem. The download speed is that is awful.
[20:15] <Eegah1> zcat:  And unfortunately, I can't login to the modem at this particular moment; I don't have the log/pass.  I'll run that, yes.
[20:15] <MNZ> Please help me. Ubuntu was working just fine but now the internet doesn't work. I get exactly 4 second bursts. It downloads for a second then stops for four seconds EXACTLY.
[20:15] <Fryguy--> nair: and what happens if you ping google.com
[20:16] <Suikwan> European, got the kinaman because i read on various websites, that ubuntu should have no trouble detecting it
[20:16] <zcat[1]> Oh!! if /etc/resolv.con is a directory, I think rename it to something else then run dhclient and it should get recreated.. it should be a file
[20:16] <nair> Fryguy--: Around 150ms
[20:16] <Fryguy--> nair: now what happens if you visit www.google.com in browser?
[20:16] <European-African> ﻿user_: the docks on bluetooth are terrible in the ubuntu wiki. All I want is to get this headset to work as a headset, it is already connected.
[20:16] <name_name> I'm looking for a RDP (aka rdesktop) client that supports 24 bit color or better
[20:16] <pi_> pi
[20:16] <RecycleBin> How can i get a program to automaticly start when x loads ? I want to have avant-window-navigator load
[20:17] <zcat[1]> weird, weird problem... how would resolv.conf end up being a directory?
[20:17] <Eegah1> zcat:  A file?  Sure.  It does contain a file of its own, though.  I'll back that up and try making resolv.conf a file.  sudo dhclient didn't do much, just got me a new DHCP lease.
[20:17] <cecko> hi all, how can I rip raw DVD image?
[20:17] <nair> Fryguy--: It took 10s to show up.
[20:17] <Fryguy--> zcat[1]: he said he did filesystem recovery or something
[20:17] <Fryguy--> nair: now what happens if you type the IP address of google into your browser?
[20:17] <cohete> European-African: aplay/arecord aren't working?
[20:17] <zcat[1]> yeah... I guess that could happen. pretto odd though
[20:17] <Fryguy--> cecko: 'dd' works
[20:17] <xubuntuuser> does anybody know how to configure wvdial don't to wait for the dealing tone?
[20:18] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ﻿aplay/arecord? the think does not play sound and does not record.
[20:18] <nair> Fryguy--: A little faster. Download speed at firefox about 2.5kbps
[20:18] <user_> !dvd | cecko
[20:18] <cnighs> is the packages.ubuntu.com webserver down?
[20:18] <zcat[1]> xubuntuuser, Xo in the config string somewhere I think
[20:18] <Fryguy--> nair: and what happens if you use wget in both situations to fetch the file from the command line?
[20:18] <cecko> Fryguy-- I need to rip my ps2 game
[20:18] <johnnypea> please....my internet connection works fine in Firefox,xchat and Pidgin, but when I want to update or install something from repositores it says : forbidden 403
[20:18] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ﻿but it connected via bluetooth
[20:18] <zcat[1]> Err X0 rather
[20:18] <cohete> European-African: just trying to figure out how far you've gotten. I'm in the same boat. The headset shows up as a sound card, but I can't use it
[20:18] <airin_72> is there a  package in syanaptic to enable 3D graphics for nvidia
[20:18] <Fryguy--> cecko: like i said, 'dd' works
[20:18] <nair> Fryguy--: I'll try it, just a moment please.
[20:19] <cecko> Fryguy-- gr8 I'll try that!
[20:19] <xubuntuuser> ﻿zcat[1] thanks!
[20:19] <cohete> European-African: but if you haven't gotten it to show up as a soundcard yet I might be able to help
[20:19] <Fryguy--> airin_72: restricted drivers manager has everything you need
[20:19] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ﻿where do you check it shows as ﻿a sound card?
[20:19] <user_> cnighs: yes, timing out
[20:19] <nair> Fryguy--: About 6.7kbps
[20:19] <cnighs> tnx, user_
[20:19] <nair> Fryguy--: Both url and ip
[20:19] <airin_72> FryGuy: where is restricted driver manager
[20:19] <zcat[1]> hope that was right.. it might have been X1 or X2 ;)
[20:20] <cohete> European-African: sudo cat /proc/asound/cards
[20:20] <Fryguy--> airin_72: no idea
[20:20] <airin_72> :(
[20:20] <jarid> ok ok ok no mater what i do when i try to enable the desktop efects i get this eroorDesktop effects could not be enabled
[20:20] <Fryguy--> airin_72: i'm sure google knows
[20:20] <airin_72> anyone know??
[20:20] <Eegah1> zcat:  That was the problem.  Deleting the spurious directory, replacing it with an empty file, and running sudo dhclient fixed it perfectly.  Thank you very much.
[20:20] <nair> Fryguy--: Synaptic right now is at 1.5~2.5 kbps to download updates.
[20:20] <airin_72> LOL true
[20:20] <johnnypea> please....my internet connection works fine in Firefox,xchat and Pidgin, but when I want to update or install something from repositores it says : forbidden 403 :( pls
[20:20] <European-African> ﻿cohete: no not showing :-(
[20:20] <zcat[1]> jarid, you haven't set up the drivers, or you have a card that can't do 3d ?
[20:20] <name_name> cecko: right click on the disk on the desktop--> click 'copy disk' --> choose 'disc image' --> then tell it were to save the ISO file
[20:20] <cohete> European-African: what procedure did you follow to try to set up the headset?
[20:21] <jarid> yes i got the ati 3870
[20:21] <zcat[1]> Eegah1, cool. glad to help
[20:21] <munk_> can someone help me with vmware? i need to configure it and i get some errors when i try\
[20:21] <InsomniaCity`> Is there any way I can add specific openvpn options to the settings used in the networkmanager openvpn configuration?

[20:21] <zcat[1]> jarid, done the restricted drivers thing?
[20:21] <Fryguy--> nair: I don't know what to tell you then, maybe you have a card whose drivers got messed up in 8.04, or the update didn't go perfectly.  I have nothing else to offer you for help. sorry.
[20:21] <name_name> airin_72: yes, enable restricted drivers in the admin tools
[20:21] <jarid> no
[20:21] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ﻿﻿plugged it the usb doggle, install blueman, and connected the headset
[20:21] <zcat[1]> jarid, hmm.. ok, if the card does proper 3d it should be working..
[20:22] <cecko> how do I list /dev address of my optical drives?
[20:22] <cohete> European-African: you probably need to edit .asoundrc/asound.conf
[20:22] <sayotte> has support for parallel printers been removed in Hardy? is it necessary to talk to them through HAL now?
[20:22] <zcat[1]> !glx
[20:22] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: open up command prompt and type 'net use'
[20:22] <MNZ> I have  prob with the internet. All connections work fine for the first 170-190 kb then I get 4 second bursts: download 1 second and stop 4 seconds

[20:22] <sayotte> !hal
[20:22] <nair> Fryguy--: That's ok. Many thanks for your help, I'll see if the problem is solved after the kernel update (what I have to wait for the updates to finish). Many many thanks for your time.
[20:22] <European-African> ﻿cohete: did you follow the bluetooth docks on ubuntu wiki?

[20:24] <Fryguy--> cecko: look at /etc/fstab (or type df and use process of elimination)
[20:24] <name_name> cecko: is you go to /media/ and find the drive the disc is in, then right click --> property it should tell the /dev/ address
[20:24] <magnetron> perlsyntax, xmms is outdated. if you want ubuntu support, you should migrate to a player that is maintained.
[20:24] <user_> !install > perlsyntax

[20:25] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ok
[20:25] <cohete> Suikwan: it works for me...
[20:25] <Fryguy--> Nimblefinger1: you probably don't have samba set up correctly then.  Make sure you've restarted samba after making changes to smb.conf
[20:25] <Suikwan> i'll check again
[20:25] <name_name> perlsyntax: use symatic package manager
[20:25] <name_name> it's in therer
[20:25] <magnetron> perlsyntax, choose another player. xmms is not included in ubuntu anymore, since the project is abandoned.
[20:25] <hyppias> I am building a kernel on the eeepc. The build is stopped, cause in include , I think asm-x86 is renamed asm, and in asm a symlink is made asm-x86, pointing to itself. how come ?
[20:25] <European-African> ﻿cohete: have you tried bluetooth-alsa package in spm?
[20:26] <conor> FUCK
[20:26] <name_name> magnetron: wtf I have xmms on my ubuntu
[20:26] <name_name> it's not dead
[20:26] <cohete> European-African: I believe bluetooth-alsa is obsolete
[20:26] <Nimblefinger1> ok i'll have another look at smb.conf, thanks fryguy
[20:26] <dr_Willis> name_name,  it is NOT in there any more
[20:26] <robeph> anyone know how to install gtk2.0 themes to gnome?
[20:26] <cecko> Fryguy-- it is an external drive, that wont show up in fstab, right? df does not seem to list it
[20:26] <conor> FUCK
[20:26] <perlsyntax> is there any other easy player out there like xmms
[20:26] <Nimblefinger1> also, sup name_name
[20:26] <conor> FUCK
[20:26] <robeph> standard metacity themes I've no issue with
[20:26] <FloodBot1> conor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:26] <zcat[1]> !omy | conor
[20:26] <robeph> conor: please...shut up
[20:26] <European-African> ﻿cohete: have you tried it?
[20:26] <cecko> Fryguy-- i just had to mount it
[20:26] <name_name> Nimblefinger1: sup
[20:26] <cohete> European-African: yes, and it didn't work
[20:26] <Fryguy--> cecko: then it's not going to be /dev/sdX
[20:26] <conor> MY COMPUTER JUST RAPED ITSELF
[20:26] <name_name> Nimblefinger1: you from #radio?
[20:26] <conor> >>>>>>:((((
[20:26] <Nimblefinger1> yup
[20:26] <robeph> conor: typing in all caps and repeatedly saying F*** doesn't help
[20:26] <conor> RAAAAAAAAAAAR
[20:26] <name_name> hellsyeah
[20:26] <Fryguy--> conor: please ask a question, stop being a retard, or leave
[20:26] <cecko> Fryguy-- it is /dev/scd1 I am goint to try dd it
[20:27] <zcat[1]> problem solved
[20:27] <lanuser> Hello - is there a console command to determine the speed (aka 100Mbps) of a network interface?
[20:27] <magnetron> name_name, xmms is NOT included in the hardy repositories.
[20:27] <cohete> European-African: furthermore, all the docs I found on bluetooth-alsa were old, and all the docs i found for bluetooth audio in hardy said bluetooth-alsa was obsolete
[20:27] <Nimblefinger1> if youre listening - mope ftw - now back on topic
[20:27] <robeph> so anyone got a link to how to install gtk2.0 themes to gnome?
[20:27] <name_name> lanuser: dslreports.com --> speed tests
[20:27] <Fryguy--> lanuser: ethtool should give you what you need
[20:27] <robeph> I wanna get rid of this eye raping orange >< and the theme I want is a gtk2 theme,  not metacity...so I'm not sure how to do that
[20:27] <name_name> lanuser: opps
[20:27] <lanuser> Fryguy--: thanks man
[20:27] <European-African> ﻿cohete: have you tried bluez-btsco?
[20:27] <FarmCretin> it seems a little crazy here right now, anyone feel like PMing me with help on mounting an external drive? (ssh)
[20:27] <Muntrue> Hola all, Im still having major video card issues. looking for some help
[20:28] <name_name> magnetron: poor xmms
[20:28] <cohete> European-African: yes, and it was the same situation as with bluetooth-alsa
[20:28] <user_> FarmCretin: dont worry about asking your question in here
[20:28] <Fryguy--> robeph: gtk2 is the graphics library for rendering controls for applications, metacity is a window manager that draws the titlebar for applications and manages placement of windows on the screen, they require 2 separate themes (although they are often packed together)
[20:28] <European-African> ﻿cohete: has anyone got these headsets working in ubuntu?
[20:28] <jarid> ok ok ok no mater what i do when i try to enable the desktop efects i get this eroorDesktop effects could not be enabled
[20:28] <name_name> Nimblefinger: you in here for halp?
[20:28] <Muntrue> Hola all, Im still having major video card issues. looking for some help
[20:28] <Nimblefinger1> yaha name_name
[20:28] <lanuser> name_name: I want to know the local speed, not my Internet speed, I'd like to see if I'm running gigabit locally
[20:28] <cohete> European-African: on the forum link I sent you too it appeared that most of the people had managed to get their headsets working following those instructions
[20:29] <Fryguy--> lanuser: like i said, use ethtool
[20:29] <name_name> hold on a sex
[20:29] <amenado> lanuser-> or  mii-tool
[20:29] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ok cool
[20:29] <lanuser> Fryguy-- yup, just clarifying my question for name_name
[20:29] <name_name> nimblefinger: ifconfig eth0
[20:29] <robeph> Fryguy--: yeah,  but they got gtk2 themes for gnome (from gnome-look)  but I'm not sure how to install the theme
[20:29] <FarmCretin> ok then, im pretty new to linux and since my server is really old, im using the ubuntu-server package. im having trouble mounting my external HDD, namely specifying the tilesystem type
[20:29] <name_name> pacman is high on crack!!!
[20:29] <cohete> European-African: that said, you will probably still have trouble doing anything useful with it, since there are still further hurdles to get it working in ekiga or skype
[20:29] <Fryguy--> robeph: there's an install theme button right on the ubuntu theme manager...
[20:30] <robeph> hrmm maybe the just didn't pack it right
[20:30] <robeph> ;p
[20:30] <robeph> hold on
[20:30] <robeph> Fryguy--: cos thats how i install metacity themes
[20:30] <robeph> Fryguy--: but didn't know if gtk2 themese differed
[20:30] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ﻿ekiga is exactly want I want to do
[20:30] <robeph> yeh they had it packed wrong =s
[20:31] <robeph> guess it didn't like bzipped theme
[20:31] <user_> FarmCretin: just let us know what commands you are using and what the error message is
[20:31] <robeph> freeman__: one question on that note...  after installing a theme,  can I remove the tarball of the theme?
[20:31] <cohete> European-African: me too, but at this point I'm not very hopeful. Ekiga has some known bugs with bluetooth headsets
[20:31] <robeph> does it cache it elsewhere?
[20:32] <Muntrue> Somehow  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will only configure my keyboard. How can i reconfigure my video card now ?
[20:32] <cohete> European-African: from the ekiga wiki: Ekiga should support bluetooth audio device exposed by ALSA but does not currently (2008-05).
[20:33] <European-African> ﻿cohete: yes I see

[20:34] <European-African> ﻿cohete: I am trying what the said on that page first
[20:34] <cohete> European-African: good luck, let me know if it works for you. so far I can't actually use the device it sets up
[20:34] <European-African> ﻿cohete: ok
[20:35] <zyx386> user_, i dont finde your last message to me, can you send again
[20:35] <Muntrue> Somehow  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will only configure my keyboard. How can i reconfigure my video card now ?
[20:35] <user_> zyx386: i have looked at old version of bluefish in ubuntu. you just need to remove /usr/bin/bluefish. all other files are just data files, not executables
[20:35] <FarmCretin> user_: with sudo fdisk -l this is my external drive  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23770/
[20:35] <zyx386> ok user_ thanx again
[20:36] <mitcheloc> which irc room is for ubuntu mid?
[20:36] <HiPriest> Hi everyone
[20:36] <user_> FarmCretin: whats the error message from the mount program?
[20:36] <FarmCretin>  user_: i tried the command  sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb /mnt/fantom
[20:37] <FarmCretin> and i got mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[20:37] <Muntrue> Somehow  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will only configure my keyboard. How can i reconfigure my video card now ? Anyone ?
[20:37] <HiPriest> anyone ran into problems with gnome-screensaver?
[20:37] <zyx386> but user_  is nothin with bluefish name in usr/bin
[20:37] <SrgSantos54> hello to all
[20:37] <xqtftqx> Everybody im having problems. ubuntu starts in low graphics mode
[20:37] <zcat[1]> zyx386, 'which bluefish'
[20:38] <user_> FarmCretin: does it work with sdb1?
[20:38] <wols_> xqtftqx: pastebin your Xorg.0.log
[20:38] <SrgSantos54> i need help to uninstall kiba dock and reinstall it
[20:38] <xqtftqx> Vostro 1500 laptop with Nvidea 6400 video card
[20:38] <wols_> xqtftqx: from when it can't run
[20:38] <user_> zyx386: then you have nothing installed via make install
[20:38] <zyx386> user_, ans zcat[1]  unstable 1.1.6
[20:38] <wols_> !fixres | Muntrue
[20:38] <zyx386> user_, i install it with ./cofigure
[20:38] <FarmCretin> ...
[20:38] <zcat[1]> zyx386, nonono.. type 'which bluefish' and it will tell you where (if anywhere) bluefish is in your path
[20:38] <snova> FarmCretin: you have to know what the filesystem type is on the device
[20:39] <FarmCretin> user_: i feel very silly now
[20:39] <snova> FarmCretin: what device is it
[20:39] <snova> FarmCretin: did linux create it
[20:39] <user_> zcat[1]: i just checked the ubuntu version and told him to remove the binary in /usr/bin/
[20:39] <FarmCretin> no, sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/fantom worked
[20:39] <snova> FarmCretin: or is it a windows partition
[20:39] <name_name> what's the site for dumping errors
[20:39] <FarmCretin> and made the drive
[20:39] <taes81> hi, im not sure which ubuntu im suppose to download i have a 64bit amd but all of my programs are 32bit ?
[20:39] <zyx386> zcat[1], i install the last unstable version 1.1.6 fr now i well remove itom source code via compile, but
[20:39] <snova> FarmCretin: really? i'll have to remember that
[20:39] <SrgSantos54> need help uninstalling kiba dock
[20:39] <zcat[1]> zyx386, ./configure doesn't install it.. 'make install' does.. it sounds like it's not been installed
[20:39] <SrgSantos54> can someone plz help me
[20:39] <user_> !pastebin | name_name
[20:39] <RichW>  /j #linux
[20:39] <FarmCretin> yea, -t auto worked fine
[20:40] <zyx386> zcat[1], what you talking about!!!
[20:40] <snova> FarmCretin: i didn't know mount could do that
[20:40] <snova> FarmCretin: well, now i do.
[20:40] <zyx386> is installed with make install , now i well remove it, r u understuede?
[20:40] <wols_> SrgSantos54: how did you install it?
[20:40] <xqtftqx> Wheres the xorg log?
[20:40] <Cusoon959> On occasion (sometimes as frequently as once an hour), gnome-terminal will open with a blank (frozen, not invisible) window, there will be a grey bar where the menus should be, and I have to terminate the process. I've tried waiting it just stays there blank. Once this happens, nautilus, gedit, and even some of the file-related dialog boxes, and possibly the pop-down calendar from the gnome panel all crash in the same way, creating
[20:40] <Cusoon959>  a blank box, and in the case of anything associated with the gnome panel, freezing the panel entirely. Restarting GDM doesn't help. I've tried everything. There seems to be nothing logged showing that there was any problem. Rebooting is the only solution.
[20:40] <cohete> taes81: 32bit ubuntu will run on your 64bit system, and in my experience has fewer incompatibilities
[20:40] <Muntrue> wols_, Thats the problem. i follow the command but it just configures my keyboard :S nothing about screen's / video cards whatsoever
[20:40] <zoobox> if I want to listen to a audio file of type "Windows Media Audio Speech" (or convert to a a more sane format) , what should I do?
[20:40] <SrgSantos54> wols_ by the steps i found in there website
[20:41] <SrgSantos54> but it dosen't work for some reason
[20:41] <wols_> SrgSantos54: then check their website how to uninstall it
[20:41] <SrgSantos54> thanks
[20:41] <user_> zyx386: whats your mother tongue? they could have also have an ubuntu channel in that language
[20:41] <zcat[1]> zyx386, typeing 'which bluefish' in terminal will tell you where it was installed to. If it says nothing, then it has not been installed anywhere in your path...
[20:41] <xqtftqx> wheres the xorg log?
[20:41] <wols_> xqtftqx: /var/log
[20:41] <taes81> cohete: should i get ubuntu 8.04?
[20:41] <xqtftqx> ok
[20:42] <mitcheloc> does anyone know where the irc room is for ubuntu mid? or does it not exist?
[20:42] <snova> xqftqx: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:42] <user_> mitcheloc: what is "mid"?
[20:42] <cohete> taes81: yes, why not?
[20:42] <zyx386> zcat[1], which bluefish isn't linux command
[20:42] <taes81> wasnt sure if it was a stable release
[20:42] <mitcheloc> user_: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[20:42] <HiPriest> I need some help with gnome-screensaver. Can anyone help me?
[20:42] <xqtftqx> http://pastebin.ca/1058388
[20:42] <mitcheloc> nevermind, found it, it's #ubuntu-mobile, not #ubuntu-mid (what i tried first)
[20:42] <mitcheloc> thanks :)
[20:42] <zyx386> user_, if you can't answer i thank you, but dont sau i understand not
[20:43] <zyx386> we r not in BBC
[20:43] <taes81> cohete: do you use wine or cedega?
[20:43] <cohete> taes81: i use wine occasionally
[20:43] <user_> mitcheloc: nice, for future reference.. tata! ;-) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[20:43] <user_> zyx386: _i_ never said i would not understand you
[20:43] <wols_> zyx386: if you didn't use apt-get it's no ubuntu question. ask bluefish folks. it's their makefile or read bluefish docs
[20:43] <taes81> cohete: im looking to play counter-strike source would you choose wine for that?
[20:44] <wols_> taes81: yes
[20:44] <wols_> taes81: appdb.winehq.com
[20:44] <_empemp_> both opera and firefox uses 50% of my cpu. could this be due to my other theme thatn the default?
[20:44] <zyx386> wols_, i say i Compile it from source code and now i cant remove it with make unistall
[20:44] <xqtftqx> http://pastebin.ca/1058388
[20:44] <cohete> _empemp_: try getting rid of the theme and see if that fixes it :)
[20:45] <user_> wols_: i believe the makefile has no uninstall target
[20:45] <wols_> zyx386: and I say this is no ubuntu problem. this is a bluefish makefile problem. their software, their problem
[20:45] <wols_> user_: so?
[20:45] <xqtftqx> http://pastebin.ca/1058388 theres the pastebin
[20:45] <taes81> did any of you use wudi to install?
[20:45] <wols_> !anyone | taes81
[20:45] <user_> wols_: we just told him to remove the binary from /usr/bin/
[20:45] <xqtftqx> http://pastebin.ca/1058388
[20:46] <zyx386> wols_, ok but wht is your problem?
[20:46] <zyx386> *what
[20:46] <FarmCretin> anyone know if samba can stream to xbox 360?
[20:46] <zyx386> user_, thanx but is no file with bluefish name in usr/bin
[20:47] <wols_> user_: that's kinda useless for 99% of makefile compiled stuff. do you know what /usr/local is?
[20:47] <user_> zyx386: you could also use search files tool..
[20:47] <taes81> Does anyone know if wudi will partition my drive or do i need partition magic?
[20:47] <Cusoon959> On occasion (sometimes as frequently as once an hour), gnome-terminal will open with a blank (frozen, not invisible) window, there will be a grey bar where the menus should be, and I have to terminate the process.

[20:47] <xqtftqx> can nobody help?
[20:47] <zyx386> user_, ok thank you very much
[20:47] <wols_> taes81: wubi. and it does not use partitions. it uses a big file on your windows partition. don't do it
[20:47] <_empemp_> cohete: nope, still uses 37% on many site
[20:47] <wols_> xqtftqx: what videocard?
[20:47] <_empemp_> could it be a flash problem?
[20:47] <user_> wols_: i see your point, thank you
[20:47] <xqtftqx> Nvidea
[20:47] <snova> xqtftqx: what's the problem?
[20:48] <wols_> !nvidia | xqtftqx
[20:48] <xqtftqx> OK
[20:48] <wols_> zyx386: have you looked into /usr/local/bin/?
[20:48] <taes81> wols_ do you know any good free partioning software? i just cleaned my drive and defraged
[20:48] <taes81> defragged
[20:48] <xqtftqx> UBuntu loads in low graphics mode
[20:48] <cohete> _empemp_: we're talking sustained 37% cpu, not just when it loads the page?
[20:48] <wols_> taes81: ubuntu live CD comes with one. gparted
[20:49] <wols_> taes81: it can resize your windows
[20:49] <zcat[1]> you can defrag in linux?
[20:49] <wols_> !defrag
[20:49] <zyx386> wols_, yes
[20:49] <zyx386> ok i remove it
[20:49] <zyx386> thanx
[20:49] <cemunal> hi
[20:49] <wols_> !enter | zyx386
[20:49] <trixon> Hi, Im developing a program in kde, for both kde and gnome. I need to know if gnome has standard shortcuts for toggling thme menu bar in apps and fullscreen mode. What are they?
[20:49] <wols_> zyx386: and fyi you didn't remove it witht hat o ne file
[20:49] <Flannel> zcat[1]: if you really want to, you can convert back to ext2, defrag, then convert back to ext3.  But theres no reason to do so
[20:49] <ArrPirate> Can someone help me? I'm new to Ubuntu and I want to do a little backup script but I don't know how.
[20:50] <Flannel> !backup | ArrPirate
[20:50] <_empemp_> cohete: sustended yes
[20:50] <wols_> Flannel: why would anyone want to convert back to ext2 for this?
[20:50] <ArrPirate> ....
[20:50] <zyx386> wols_, i remove it in local/bin and the source in home directory
[20:50] <_empemp_> then the computer gets hot and the fan start to speed
[20:50] <zyx386> ok
[20:50] <Flannel> wols_: Because ext2 has a defrag utility
[20:50] <ArrPirate> Flannel, thanks, but not really what I needed I don't think
[20:50] <_empemp_> until i close firefox or opera again
[20:50] <wols_> Flannel: and your point is?
[20:50] <Flannel> wols_: They asked how to defrag
[20:50] <wols_> Flannel: remount it as ext2 at most and you are done
[20:51] <wols_> no conversion or such BS
[20:51] <user_> wols_: not everyone is as good as you
[20:51] <wols_> *plonk*
[20:51] <Flannel> wols_: No, the defragger requires it be converted back to ext2
[20:51] <asmo[B]> user_: I wouldn't say as "good" as wols_... as he seems evil
[20:52] <user_> asmo[B]: i try to be understanding and diplmatic
[20:52] <user_> asmo[B]: ;-)

[20:53] <taes81> wols_ does that g_parted come in the regular desktop cd also?

[20:53] <Muntrue> Hey all, i need to reconfigure my graphic card / monitor. Where can i do this ?
[20:53] <wols_> !fixres | Muntrue
[20:53] <wols_> Muntrue: I already told you
[20:54] <Muntrue> wols_,  that doenst work
[20:54] <wols_> !doesn't work
[20:54] <Muntrue> haha
[20:54] <taes81> thanks guys hope to see you when ubuntu is up and running
[20:54] <Muntrue> classic
[20:54] <wols_> Muntrue: what videocard?
[20:54] <Muntrue> wols_,  anyhow, the reconfigure command only allows me to recon my keyboard
[20:54] <Muntrue> wols_,  apperently its a mobile Radeon IGP 345M
[20:54] <BlackRece> ok, i can't ping this ubuntu box from my xp box but I can't pass internet traffic, any ideas anyone?
[20:55] <user_> asmo[B]: i see your point now after the last secs
[20:55] <idefine> how can i hide files ending in a tildy?
[20:55] <hdm> likely a debian question more than ubuntu, but how i can i determine which package is responsible for a particular file? something like equery on gentoo
[20:55] <zoobox> anyone knows anything about converting from "Windows Media Audio Speech"  audio?
[20:55] <ArrPirate> I was wondering what I could type in the terminal to look inside a directory and any folders inside that directory for files of a certain file extension and any files it finds have it copy them to a different directory, overwriting any files already there.
[20:55] <user_> hdm: its dpkg
[20:55] <hdm> ArrPirate: find dir -name '*.ext' | xargs -i cp {} /tmp/dest
[20:55] <asmo[B]> user_: just pure evil... I think he just needs a hug or something, no love
[20:55] <wols_> Muntrue: "apparently"? don't assume. check
[20:55] <hdm> user_: yes, but what optino?
[20:56] <Muntrue> wols_,  i did check. and that is what it is.
[20:56] <wols_> hdm: dpkg -S
[20:56] <hdm> thanks
[20:56] <wols_> Muntrue: I'd try ati then
[20:56] <wols_> Muntrue: if that doesn't work, fglrx, but ati is afaik a better bet
[20:56] <Muntrue> wols_,  sure id love to. but i cant seem to locate how to reconfigure that
[20:56] <asmo[B]> Muntrue: envyNG is good for ati/nvidia
[20:56] <wols_> Muntrue: what is it using now?
[20:57] <ArrPirate> hdm, so, this should work: find /media/disk -name '*.sav' |xargs -i cp {} /media/disk-1/backups
[20:57] <ArrPirate> ?
[20:57] <wols_> Muntrue: and what does your Xorg.0.log say?
[20:57] <BlackRece> i used this guide to set up ics http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html#more-182
[20:57] <Muntrue> wols_,  where can i check that
[20:57] <SrgSantos54> guys i nned hel with kiba dock
[20:57] <Muntrue> asmo[B],  i tried that one, didnt work for me
[20:57] <wols_> Muntrue: in the log
[20:57] <SrgSantos54> i have installed it but it dosent open
[20:57] <_empemp_> cohete: any idea?
[20:57] <SrgSantos54> i can open the setting but not the dock any idea ?!?
[20:57] <wols_> !errors | seg
[20:58] <wols_> !errors | SrgSantos54
[20:58] <Muntrue> wols_,  and where about can i find this log ^^
[20:58] <combo> !java
[20:58] <SrgSantos54> but it dosnt give me no error
[20:58] <cohete> _empemp_: sorry no
[20:58] <SrgSantos54> it just dosent open
[20:58] <wols_> Muntrue: /var/log/
[20:59] <wols_> SrgSantos54: start it from an xterm
[20:59] <zcat[1]> BlackRece, I just installed firestarter and ticked 'share this connection' ;)
[20:59] <wols_> BlackRece: apt-get install ipmasq dnsmasq
[20:59] <zoobox> when I try with ffmpeg -i bad.wma good.au it says "Unsupported codec (id=0) for input stream #0.0" :-(
[20:59] <SrgSantos54> this is what i got >>>** (process:7522): WARNING **: Error (main.c @ line 126):

[20:59] <wols_> SrgSantos54: there you have it. now you know why it doesn't work
[20:59] <SrgSantos54> sorry :(
[20:59] <BlackRece> zcat: didn't work for me. keeps saying check devices
[21:00] <majikins> hello my sound card is not working after update of my hardy system
[21:00] <BlackRece> wols_: I followed this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html#more-182
[21:00] <wols_> BlackRece: what network interfaces do you have?
[21:00] <wols_> BlackRece: that guide is useless
[21:00] <majikins> what can I do to fix pls?
[21:00] <SrgSantos54> ok and how can i fix this ?!?
[21:00] <zcat[1]> BlackRece, weird. I set up my laptop so it connects via wireless and can then share that connection with other machines.. firestarter seemed OK with that
[21:01] <idefine> how can i hide files ending in a "~"
[21:01] <wols_> !info kiba-dock
[21:01] <zcat[1]> idefine, rename them all to .foo~
[21:01] <wols_> SrgSantos54: it tells you how in the error message
[21:01] <BlackRece> wols_: opps. well, eth0 ip 192.168.2.1 internal net and eth1 ip dhcp internet to this ubuntu
[21:02] <idefine> zcat[1]: yeah, but is there any other way?
[21:02] <zcat[1]> or alias ls to "ls | grep -v ~$'
[21:02] <wols_> BlackRece: so ipmasq will work
[21:02] <BlackRece> zcat: I haven't even tryed enabling my wireless card yet
[21:02] <SrgSantos54> wols_ thanks
[21:02] <ArrPirate> is there a way to make a certain piece of removable media, say a card reader, always mount as a specific folder in /media/, instead of like 'disk' and 'disk-1', etc.?
[21:02] <wols_> BlackRece: you must have two working network interfaces for it to work
[21:02] <majikins> hi can anyone help me pls, my sound card is not working after an update to my system
[21:02] <majikins> I use hardy
[21:03] <wols_> !alsa
[21:03] <zcat[1]> ArrPirate, give it a label .. my mp3 player mounts as /media/mp3player now
[21:03] <name_name> !rdesktop
[21:03] <Jane_ux> ﻿If I use (copy) the same home folder for all the users, is gonna be any conflict or problem????
[21:03] <hdm> ArrPirate: yeah, should work
[21:03] <moroving> а где тут рускоязычный канал
[21:03] <ArrPirate> zcat[1]: How would I do that?
[21:03] <user_> !ru > moroving
[21:03] <BlackRece> wols_ i've got 3 i wanna use, eth1 is the internet coming in and eth0 is net traffic to internal network
[21:03] <ArrPirate> hdm: I know. I tried
[21:03] <majikins> thank you
[21:03] <Muntrue> wols_,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23774/ <- xorg.0.log
[21:03] <wols_> BlackRece: that'S fine
[21:03] <zcat[1]> ArrPirate, tune2fs -L whatever /dev/sda1
[21:04] <wols_> Muntrue: and what is the error?
[21:04] <BlackRece> how do i start ipmasq?
[21:04] <moroving> sps
[21:04] <hdm> e2fslabel works too
[21:04] <majikins> my system was working on pulseaudio before?
[21:04] <zcat[1]> .. whatever the device is ..
[21:04] <Jane_ux> ﻿If I use (copy) the same home folder for all the users, is gonna be any conflict or problem????
[21:04] <wols_> BlackRece: it's started automatically. it asks you when it should start when you install it
[21:04] <Muntrue> wols_, My screen has a real poor refresh rate. moving a window around gives like a 1 second interval between the refresh
[21:04] <Muntrue> wols_,  scrolling web pages is even worse
[21:04] <Pixeltim1> Is there a file autosort program in 'nix that puts files in folders based on name, or whatever I choose ?
[21:05] <zcat[1]> I think tune2fs can label a fat32 filesystem.. if not, you might need to format it again with a label (kkdosfs -L I think)
[21:05] <wols_> Muntrue: that sounds like vesa and not the radeon driver
[21:05] <zcat[1]> Gah *mkdosfs
[21:05] <wols_> zcat[1]: it cannot
[21:05] <wols_> zcat[1]: no. check mtools
[21:05] <BlackRece> my internal xp network can ping this feisty box but I can't get internet traffic to travel
[21:06] <zcat[1]> Oh... can't recall how I did it, I think I just formatted it that way but I recall changing the label in the past without reformatting. Might have been mtools
[21:06] <Muntrue> wols_, yea i think its using vesa now, im not sure i dont know how to check. I know in previous ubuntu versions there was a GUI for that in the system->Admin panel but thats gone. Also reconfiguring X only allows me to change the keyboard layout
[21:06] <name_name> color depth
[21:06] <matthias_N> hi, anybody can help eith playback problem ...
[21:06] <wols_> Muntrue: you basically will need to hand edit your xorg.conf. are there old copies of xorg.conf around?
[21:06] <SithRee> if you have an xp machine available, you can set the label without formatting with that too
[21:06] <zcat[1]> ArrPirate, what wols_ says ;)
[21:06] <Alfarin> I installed Ubuntu 7.10 first, and eventually upgraded to 8.04...  how overtly complicated would it be if I now want to dual boot Windows XP?
[21:06] <unop> BlackRece, can you ping other machines on the network?
[21:07] <Muntrue> wols_,  Let me check that. this is fresh install. i just installed it an hour ago.
[21:07] <ssastre> I'm having some issues with an ubuntu hardy as guest on vmware. There is any know problem to run it? (it works but freezes for a while and then come back again from time to time)
[21:07] <SrgSantos54> what would be the command to move a dir/file
[21:07] <SithRee> SrgSantos54, mv
[21:07] <unop> SrgSantos54, mv
[21:07] <zcat[1]> Alfarin, easy.. free up some space, install windows, follow the fix grub commands in !grub
[21:07] <Alfarin> !grub
[21:07] <Jane_ux> ﻿If I use (copy) the same home folder for all the users, is gonna be any conflict or problem????
[21:07] <SrgSantos54> SitRee , unop thanks
[21:08] <gway9000> Alfarin: you probably will need to reconfigur grub afterwards
[21:08] <Muntrue> wols_,  The first backup i have doesnt have any video options in it either
[21:08] <unop> Alfarin, you can install XP -- but it will overwrite the MBR with its own boorloader, you'll need to repair grub and configure it to load windows
[21:08] <BlackRece> unop: only got the one pc via eth0, but i have 2 laptops to connet via wireless
[21:08] <Muntrue> wols_,  ignore that, it does have video option but its all set to basic
[21:09] <Muntrue> wols_,  Default screen, configured monitor , configured video device
[21:09] <Alfarin> do I install XP as per normal?  how would I deal with the existing partitions?
[21:09] <zcat[1]> Alfarin, it gets a little complex because grub won't be set to boot windows when you reinstall it. There's an example in /boot/grub/menu.lst of how to do that, you probably only need to change he partition number and it will work
[21:09] <wols_> Muntrue: http://paste.debian.net/8516/  this is mine. you should be able to adapt it
[21:09] <quickscript> i share the cost of of the internet connection with a friend next door. She's got a wireless router which gives internet access to her laptop, his sister's (who lives with her) and mine. I want to give wireless internet access to my 2 flatmates laptop as well but using the connecton i share with my female friend BUT using a different essid. using *my* laptop as the 2nd AP. wireless hardware on my laptop: iwl3945 builtiin (
[21:09] <quickscript> wlan0) prism2 pcmcia card (eth3). how can i achieve what i want to do?
[21:09] <BlackRece> unop & wols: ubuntu can't ping xp box
[21:09] <unop> Jane_ux, it would be quite hard maintaining that setup - each user needs to own his/her own files/folders -- but you can have things like music, documents, etc shared -- the rest shouldn't be
[21:09] <Muntrue> wols_,  Oke thanks ill give it a shot.
[21:10] <zcat[1]> quickscript, that should be possible..
[21:10] <unop> BlackRece, it could be that XP is preventing incoming ping requests through it's firewall -- can you ping the router/default gateway from ubuntu?
[21:10] <zcat[1]> quickscript, not with only one wifi card though.. you need a second one
[21:10] <wols_> BlackRece: what IP does your internal ubuntu device have and what IP does your XP box have?
[21:11] <Jane_ux> unop: but each user home folder is owner for each different user
 i have 2 wireless interfaces on my laptop!
[21:11] <BlackRece> feisty has eth0 on ip 192.168.2.1 and xp is on ip 192.168.2.10
[21:11] <ghostfacekiller> hy
[21:11] <zcat[1]> quickscript, easiest way is firestarter.. set the first card as your internet connection and share it with the second, firestarter will install dhcpd and stuff and sonfigure it for you
[21:11] <spiderfire> hi, anyone running firefox2 and 3 without problems?
[21:11] <wols_> BlackRece: and gateway and DNS on XP?
[21:11] <Muntrue> wols_, Any way to put it in the ubuntu pastebin. this one keeps copying the line codes even tho i turned them off
[21:12] <BlackRece> unop: xp firewall isn't blocking anything
[21:12] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> any1 hear know how to mount a cracked warcraft III file in cegega
[21:12] <unop> Jane_ux, right, that's how it should be -- if you want to share things like documents .. create a folder somewhere and create links to it in each of the user's home folders
[21:12] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> ?
[21:12] <wols_> BlackRece: it blocks pings by default
[21:12] <Muntrue> wols_,  ignore that
[21:12] <wols_> BlackRece: can XP ping ubuntu?
[21:12] <spiderfire> do firefox2 and 3 use different config files?
[21:12] <user_> DroP-PsyChoSiS: no, wrong channel
[21:12] <unop> spiderfire, not so much
[21:12] <wols_> !warez | DroP-PsyChoSiS
[21:12] <zcat[1]> quickscript, second easiest way is to turn on packet forwarding and NAT manually.. some setting in /etc/sysclt.conf iirc, and lots of tricky firewall rules
[21:12] <amirman84> what's the command to reboot?
[21:13] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> dude i had the cd i lost it
[21:13] <wols_> amirman84: shutdown -r now   for example
[21:13] <ghostfacekiller> did someone no why vlc doesnt play dvds ???
[21:13] <wols_> DroP-PsyChoSiS: doesn't matter. cracking is illegal in most jurisdictions
[21:13] <cemunal> Which app. can i use for taking photo. from my cam?
[21:13] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> so i cracked my war3 instead of buying a new cd
[21:13] <unop> amirman84, or reboot
[21:13] <spiderfire> freenode is for free software. not stolen software hehehe
[21:13] <amirman84> wols_: thanks
[21:13] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> i dont have the money
[21:13] <unop> cemunal, gtkcam
 please tell me what commands i have to execute
[21:13] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> to buy new cd's
[21:13] <wols_> DroP-PsyChoSiS: I don't either, so I don't play WC3
[21:13] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> shame
[21:13] <zcat[1]> quickscript, 'sudo apt-get install firestarter' ;)
[21:13] <amirman84> unop: i tried sudo reboot from the alt+f2 commandline last night and it didnt work.
[21:14] <Jane_ux> unop: im admin public machines so i use a default home folder for all the users, each user creates his own home folder from the default one,
[21:14] <zcat[1]> I'm pretty sure that can do it and will be the easiest option
[21:14] <wols_> !doesn't work amirman84
[21:14] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> wols_, the latest version of war3 does not require a cd anymore
[21:14] <ghostfacekiller> yeah i also have firestarter, it realy simple to install
[21:14] <wols_> !doesn't work | amirman84
[21:14] <cemunal> unop: does it record video?
[21:14] <unop> amirman84, with ALT+F2 you need gksudo not sudo
[21:14] <ghostfacekiller> and the configuration also are simple
[21:14] <Jane_ux> unop: so u thinks its no gonna be any trouble???
[21:14] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> blizzard patched the exe, therefore "cracking" it
[21:14] <user_> ghostfacekiller: this channel gets logged with your ip
[21:14] <BlackRece> wols: gateway not set on ubuntu as per instructions so xp has no gateway
[21:14] <unop> cemunal, not sure
[21:14] <zcat[1]> gtg anyhow.. afk
[21:14] <wols_> BlackRece: if XP has no gateway it cannot work
[21:14] <BlackRece> unop: feisty CAN ping xp box
[21:15] <wols_> BlackRece: ubuntu is your XP gateway
[21:15] <amirman84> wols_: it didn;t work for me at that particular moment in that specific situation. what casues me to say "didn't work" is that when i put the command in and pressed enter, absolutely nothing happened or changed.
[21:15] <BlackRece> wols: set ubuntu eth0 gateway to 192.168.2.0?
[21:15] <madison> i have a dfi lanparty motherboard, it has onboard raid and i have 4 identical drives in the computer but I can't figure out how to set it up in BIOS - I realize this isn't really ubuntu related but I use ubuntu so i thought someone here may help
[21:15] <ghostfacekiller> I can't help you
[21:15] <wols_> BlackRece: NO
[21:15] <amirman84> unop: i thought gksudo was for opening GUI apps, reboot doesnt open a GUI app.
[21:15] <wols_> madison: you cannot. use software raid. this lanparty mobo has only fakeraid
[21:16] <user_> ghostfacekiller: sorry, wrong nick, terribly sorry
[21:16] <wols_> amirman84: you are right
[21:16] <unop> Jane_ux, like i already said -- certain things in the user's home folders like configuration files, etc need to be owned by that user only or the applications will complain -- if you are looking to have each users home folder created from a template -- look into /etc/skel
[21:16] <BlackRece> wols: really!? just on xp box?!
[21:16] <ghostfacekiller> did someone know why the vlc media player doesn't play dvd s on the Ubuntu 8.04???
[21:16] <wols_> !dvd | ghostfacekiller
[21:16] <wols_> ghostfacekiller: no decss2
[21:17] <ghostfacekiller> thx
[21:17] <gway9000> madison: you will have two interfaces - 2 drive to 1  ensure they are enable
[21:17] <unop> amirman84, gksudo can run non-gui apps too -- which is what you need with ALT+F2, as sudo requires you to enter the password at a terminal, something alt+f2 doesn't provide
[21:17] <wols_> unop: huh?
[21:17] <wols_> unop: you can type in the alt+f2 virtual treminal just dandily
[21:17] <unop> amirman84, gksudo will authenticate the user graphically, and if successful, run reboot
[21:17] <amirman84> unop: Ahhhhhhh, good point, i never thought of that. so gksudo doesn't require a password?
[21:17] <unop> amirman84, it does
[21:17] <gway9000> madison: when booting look for promt should idicate f2 or similar to set up raid
[21:18] <wols_> gway9000: OT
[21:18] <unop> wols_, i know, but that isn't the objective :)
[21:18] <amirman84> unop: but with a graphical password input  i guess.
[21:18] <BlackRece> wols: Yeah BABY!!! It works!!!! ta 4 da help!!!! now, how do I get the same thing on my wireless card?
[21:18] <unop> amirman84, exactly
[21:18] <klara> Hi every one im new guy on linux
[21:18] <wols_> BlackRece: it's automatic. ipmasq masqs all devices
[21:18] <gway9000> wols_: JUST TRYN TO HELP
[21:18] <amirman84> unop: thanks that cleared it up for me
[21:18] <wols_> gway9000: do it on topic
[21:18] <gway9000> wols_: sry
[21:18] <wols_> and lose the caps
[21:19] <gway9000> wols_: yea yea
[21:19] <ArrPirate> I accidentally entered an invalid mountpoint in the right click menu of Computer's display of that partition and now I can't get back into that dialog and I can't figure out how to change the mount point
[21:20] <kronos> jeje
[21:20] <BlackRece> wols: does dnsmasq handle dhcp for me or do I have to set the gateway on my wireless laptops too?
[21:20] <klara> can someone explain me how can i add MSN on my linux
[21:20] <unop> !info amsn | klara
[21:20] <Starnestommy> klara: pidgin and amsn can both do MSN
[21:21] <pdx77> What's the name of the fork of pidgin?
[21:21] <pdx77> that was fairly recent
[21:21] <madison> gway9000: i did but when you hit f4 or ctrl + s it says "No Device Detected, Utility disabled! Press any key to continue
[21:21] <Starnestommy> pdx77: carrier
[21:21] <wols_> BlackRece: dnsmasq can handle dhcp if you enable it. /etc/dnsmasq.conf
[21:21] <pdx77> thanks
[21:21] <madison> and i don't think it's software only it's supposed to be supported by the nvidia MCP55PXE
[21:21] <wols_> madison: it is software only and fakeraid. unless your mobo costs around 200-500USD, it's fakeraid
[21:21] <klara> thnx
[21:21] <wols_> also: NVIDIA does not make ANY raid chips
[21:22] <wols_> madison: are you trying to install ubuntu on that raid?
[21:22] <SakuraKinomoto> hello, boys
[21:22] <SakuraKinomoto> can somebody suggest me a good guide in how to set up apache in ubuntu and set up ftp to upload and manage www files?
[21:22] <papabear> ello all
[21:22] <wols_> !lamp | SakuraKinomoto
[21:22] <wols_> SakuraKinomoto: and install vsftpd
[21:22] <nDuff> Sakarias, I don't recommend ftp unless you can't avoid it
[21:22] <madison> wols_: yes if i can get the raid to work
[21:22] <nDuff> erm
[21:23] <wols_> madison: software raid ONLY
[21:23] <papabear> anyone know how to write simple scripts in tcl???
[21:23] <nDuff> SakuraKinomoto, I don't recommend ftp unless you can't avoid it; sftp (which runs over ssh) has *much* better security characteristics.
[21:23] <taes81> Does anyone know how to check and see how much free space i have on my drive. Im running the live cd
[21:23] <wols_> madison: you can try but ther is no other way
[21:23] <unop> papabear, head to #tcl
[21:23] <nDuff> SakuraKinomoto, standard ftp sends passwords (and file content) in plaintext.
[21:23] <papabear> roger
[21:23] <SakuraKinomoto> nDuff: :) thanks,
[21:23] <wols_> taes81: df. sudo fdisk -l
[21:23] <taes81> ty
[21:24] <quickscript> i installed firestarter and then went thru the wizard but i got the error : the device eth3 is not ready
[21:25] <testi> I'm trying to create a new image from a selection inside an existing image file. How can I do that?
[21:25] <SakuraKinomoto> nDuff: is the vsftp you daid easy to manage?
[21:25] <amirman84> testi: which software are you using?
[21:25] <user_> testi: are you in gimp?
[21:25] <unop> testi, this is a graphical image i assume?
[21:25] <nDuff> SakuraKinomoto, vsftp was recommended by wols_, not me. If you need to use ftp, not sftp, it's one of the better servers; by UNIX standards, it's easy to configure.
[21:26] <SakuraKinomoto> :)
[21:26] <alraune> :quicksrcipt : so eth3 is not connected..
[21:27] <quickscript> on ubuntu 8.04 how can i confirgure my prism2 pcmcia card to act as an AP?
[21:27] <testi> I don't care which program to use, but if you can give me the answer for GIMP that would be fine.
[21:27] <testi> @user_
[21:27] <SakuraKinomoto> testi,
[21:28] <user_> testi: select box, ctrl+c, then create new file, accept default size, then ctr+v in new file
[21:28] <SakuraKinomoto> testi, how do you want to create the new image file?
[21:28] <amirman84> testi: gimp is good software i reccomend getting it. it will do that and more
[21:28] <testi> user_: When I do that I have a big white canvas around the image
[21:28] <converter> hey.
[21:28] <converter> mod_cure! ltns
[21:29] <testi> user_: and i think it's exactly as large as the original image
[21:29] <SakuraKinomoto> testi, i think there's an option in gimp menu that says "create new image fil from clipboard" or something like that
[21:30] <SakuraKinomoto> testi: i'm not sure, i wasn't using gimp for some weeks
[21:30] <testi> mmh
[21:30] <perlsyntax> has anyone install perl-support before
[21:30] <testi> I can't find that option
[21:30] <testi> It used to work with older gimp versions
[21:30] <madison> wols_: i'm just an idiot, I found it in the bios and have configured it, its installing now
[21:31] <user_> testi: have you used the select tool before and "drew" a box for the part to copy and paste?
[21:31] <testi> user_: exactly
[21:32] <perlsyntax> ?
[21:32] <PodMan99a> hey all have hardy installed and somehow i have the 32 bit kernel running when all apps are 64bit... unable to reboot machine and certain mounts arnt working..... so i.e. cant modify /boot/menu.lst to resolve?? any ideas?
[21:32] <wols_> madison: is this a dual boot machine?
[21:32] <wols_> PodMan99a: uname -a   and dpkg --print-architecture
[21:32] <user_> testi: dont know then, sorry
[21:32] <zoidfarb> Does anyone know how to get to the thing that lets you choose which options to display in gnome? It's sort of similar to the "TweakUI" tool, and it lets you enable/disable the display of certain options in gnome.
[21:33] <bucky1_> is there a way to get antialias or something to smooth out edges with compiz when doing rotations and stuff?
[21:33] <mindrape> PodMan99a: did you save a copy of your last kernel? Boot to that and start over. :)
[21:33] <amirman84> zoidfarb: you can do pretty much most of the TweakUI stuff from Configuration Editor
[21:33] <zoidfarb> ok, cool, where's that?
[21:34] <amirman84> zoidfarb: but it can be confusing , i reccomend googling the particular hacks you wish to employ and seeing how to do them in configuration editor
[21:34] <PodMan99a> mindrape, cant use reboot or shutdown... sever is in datacenter
[21:34] <user_> testi: "paste as new image" did the trick here
[21:35] <mindrape> well that puts you in a tough spot I guess.  :(
[21:35] <amirman84> zoidfarb: run gconf-editor from the terminal. also you can right click on your menu button and enable it to show in your menu
[21:35] <zoidfarb> amirman84, mostly I want to enable CPU throttling in the power-management tool. I just don't remember how to launch the configuration editor. How do I do that?
[21:35] <madison> wols: no
[21:35] <zoidfarb> thanks
[21:35] <PodMan99a> how can i remount out or RO ?
[21:35] <wols_> madison: then ther is no reason at all for dmraid
[21:36] <PodMan99a> from command line... some commands work
[21:36] <wols_> PodMan99a: answer me
[21:36] <madison> wols: dmraid?
[21:36] <ArrPirate> I'm trying to run this in a termal, "find /media/NDS -name '*.sav' |xargs -i cp -u /media/Storage/NDS/Backups", but I get an error "cp: missing destination file operand after `/media/Storage/NDS/Backups'", what am I doing wrong?
[21:36] <Sonja> is there a fix for the grey-box problem with Flash??
[21:36] <med> jjjj
[21:36] <wols_> madison: the raid type you want to use
[21:36] <Eleaf> Sonja, grey box?
[21:36] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> how can i uninstall firefox "Completly"?, i have been use apt-get purge and synaptic but still doesn´t work, because when i reinstall the configuration of the last instalation is still using...
[21:36] <wols_> ArrPirate: cp needs 2 parameters
[21:37] <PodMan99a> wols_, sorry missed it... its unable to run dpkg... but the running kernel is 686
[21:37] <madison> wols_: i set up 6 drives in raid0 with the understanding that read/write would be faster
[21:37] <wols_> sEbAsTiAnFfX: remove the dot-directory in your ~
[21:37] <Sonja> Eleaf most Flash appz in my web browsers are just a grey box.
[21:37] <Sonja> ever since heron :(
[21:37] <med> hola hijos de sur amireca
[21:37] <PodMan99a> wols_, dont know how i installed that on a 64bit cd install must have ballsed up something
[21:37] <Eleaf> hmm
[21:37] <PodMan99a> wols_, update-grub dont work either which is a shame
[21:37] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> wols_, i tried that too...
[21:37] <Eleaf> Sonja, I only get problems with flash transparency, which doesn't work in the linux version
[21:37] <user_> !es > med
[21:37] <ArrPirate> hdm, ya there?
[21:37] <PodMan99a> wols_, i think if i can remount ???? then i can recover it
[21:37] <snova> sEbAsTiAnFfX: delete ~/.mozilla/firefox
[21:38] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> but there must be, another files n another directory
[21:38] <wols_> PodMan99a: remount what and why?
[21:38] <snova> sEbAsTiAnFfX: that's where firefox keeps per-user files
[21:38] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> :o
[21:38] <sEbAsTiAnFfX> im gonna see
[21:38] <wols_> sEbAsTiAnFfX: /etc/ and ~ are the only places
[21:38] <PodMan99a> wols_, remount /
[21:38] <Sonja> Eleaf transparency? maybe it's only the transparent ones that cause the grey box bug?
[21:38] <PodMan99a> wols_, /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[21:38] <wols_> PodMan99a: and what for?
[21:38] <PodMan99a> wols_, as it may remount the /boot so i can regenerate menu.lst manually and maybe be able to reboot it
[21:39] <PodMan99a> wols_, init 6 dont even work atm
[21:39] <wols_> PodMan99a: nothing will work. use a livecd or reboot and choose the old kernel
[21:39] <PodMan99a> wols_, shame will have to leave it for few weeks till back at datacenter.... shame though
[21:39] <testi> user_: i now installed the debian etch version of gimp (version 2.2 - there it works like you said)
[21:40] <mindrape> PodMan99a - if you cant edit any files in the current filesystem then you are kinda screwed.  If you can change /etc/fstab or your bootup options then maybe you have a fighting chance.
[21:40] <PodMan99a> mindrape, shame... lol
[21:40] <ArrPirate> wols_:  in the command 'find /media/NDS -name '*.sav' |xargs -i cp -u /media/Storage/NDS/Backups' I'm trying to copy all files with a file extension '.sav' from all directories in /media/NDS to /media/Storage/NDS/Backups using the update flag... could you tell me what I have wrong?
[21:40] <wols_> ArrPirate: I already did
[21:40] <Eleaf> Sonja, hmm, could be.  You can send me a link to a flash app that shows a gray box for you and I'll tell if it does it for me too
[21:41] <eraldo> greetings
[21:41] <mindrape> PodMan99a - maybe put in a ticket to have somebody walk over and pull up a local console to choose the old kernel to boot from for ya?
[21:41] <ArrPirate> wols_: You told me cp needs two parameters... that doesn't help me because I don't know what second parameter to use
[21:41] <PodMan99a> mindrape, yea think thats the only option.... damn bunker takes a while to get to see servers as they have to go down 35ft in to the ground to get to it... oh well hehe... make them walk
[21:42] <mindrape> PodMan99a - well I'm sure they won't mind so long as you are paying your monthly hosting fees and whatnot?  ;)  It's kind of a service they have agreed to provide.
[21:43] <Sonja> Eleaf http://vectormagic.com/ after you upload a file it goes all grey
[21:43] <PodMan99a> mindrape, yea im too nice to keep bugging them... its not a production box at the moment luckly
[21:43] <eric_> Using a laptop (dell e1505/6400) with 8.04: I have this problem where the HD will randomly dismount and remount, and it is a huge pain. Is there anyway to disable power saving for USB, at least while I am plugged in?
[21:44] <orgthingy_> hi
[21:45] <[newb]MIki> okey, i got a problem with my drivers of my vid. its an Mobility Radeon 7500. I've heard something that its on a blacklist or something, but still i would like it get to work. I just can't let it work, i used tons of tutorials, but they all give errors, or just don't work and result that i must delete the drivers or reinstall ubunut. Is there anybody that wants to help? you can even take over my pc if you want to :)
[21:45] <mindrape> hi orgthingy_
[21:45] <orgthingy_> how can I use GPRS internet in e-go?
[21:45] <orgthingy_> in order to install it, my friend needs wine
[21:45] <orgthingy_> but, is there a way that u dont need wine?
[21:45] <mindrape> if it needs wine it needs wine...
[21:45] <gnomefreak> orgthingy_: if it has a linux builds would be the only way to not have to use wine
[21:46] <orgthingy_> it doesnt have linux version
[21:46] <eric_> you could always use a vm, but if it works with wine, don't waste the cycles
[21:46] <gnomefreak> orgthingy_: than wine it is
[21:46] <gnomefreak> vm big waste if he doesnt want to use wine
[21:46] <orgthingy_> ok
[21:46] <orgthingy_> thanks
[21:46] <eric_> ..anyone know about the power setting problem I mentioned?
[21:46] <eric_> Using a laptop (dell e1505/6400) with 8.04: I have this problem where the HD will randomly dismount and remount, and it is a huge pain. Is there anyway to disable power saving for USB, at least while I am plugged in?

[21:47] <Eleaf> Sonja, it's vectorizing my image okay
[21:47] <Eleaf> no gray after uploading Sonja
[21:48] <amirman84> Sonja: i would reccomend downloading the flash 10 beta
[21:48] <Sonja> amirman84 what do i type in terminal to accomplish this?
[21:48] <eraldo> can someone recommed me a rss cli reader ?
[21:48] <eraldo> is there a popular one ?
[21:48] <SakuraKinomoto> eraldo: RSSOwl
[21:49] <amirman84> hmm, not sure, you could just go to the flash website and download it that way and follow their instructions to install
[21:49] <SakuraKinomoto> eracc: Blogbridge is good too, but demads too much ram to use
[21:49] <SakuraKinomoto> eraldo: Blogbridge is good too, but demads too much ram to use
[21:50] <eraldo> SakuraKinomoto: thank you very much,.. I will have a look at thouse two :)
[21:50] <user_> testi: "paste as new image" did the trick here on ubuntu
[21:51] <rogue_trader> openoffice crashes on startup, trying to recover a corrupted file that doesnot exist. it does not help to remove the respective recovery configuration file (recovery.xcu) or even the whole openoffice.org2 folder. any ideas?
[21:51] <SakuraKinomoto> eraldo: i recommed RSSOwl, it is very very light compared to BlogBridge, but both are ok :)
[21:52] <user_> rogue_trader: try #openoffice.org
[21:52] <ArrPirate> Can someone help me fix this? I need whatever my 'find' finds to be copied: find /media/NDS -name '*.sav' |xargs -i cp -u /media/Storage/NDS/Backups
[21:53] <rogue_trader> user_, thanks
[21:53] <Sonja> is it easier to install tar.gz or .rpm in ubuntu??
[21:53] <snova> ArrPirate: find /media/NDS -name '*.sav' -exec cp -u /media/Storage/NDS/Backups {} \;
[21:53] <molgrum> hello, i really need help with downgrading my kernel and nvidia drivers until this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/243707 gets fixed. i cannot play any fps games any more because of it :/
[21:53] <joaopinto> ArrPirate, find /media/dns -name "*.sav -exec cp {} /media/Storage/NDS/Backups \;
[21:53] <ArrPirate> thanks !
[21:53] <user_> Sonja: which program?
[21:53] <alraune> Sonja: for rpm use alien, tar.gz also works
[21:53] <joaopinto> I am assuming you want to copy to backups.. and not from...
[21:54] <Sonja> user_ for Flash 10
[21:54] <user_> Sonja: tar.gz
[21:54] <snova> ArrPirate: i don't know what xargs does, but i get along just fine without it
[21:54] <joaopinto> Sonja, tar.gz
[21:54] <ArrPirate> snova, yours didn't work :D
[21:54] <ArrPirate> I just get cp errors saying 'omitting director /media/Storage/NDS/Backups
[21:55] <snova> ArrPirate: oh yes, i just noticed that
[21:55] <eraldo> SakuraKinomoto: they both do not have a cli...
[21:55] <snova> ArrPirate: i'm just used to putting {} at the end
[21:55] <snova> ArrPirate: i usually use -exec in conjunction with grep
[21:56] <AtomicSpark> i'm trying to get a windows program to look less crappy in wine. how do i manage the theme? where you go to wine config, install. does it use gnome themes?
[21:56] <joaopinto> AtomicMongoose, try #winehq
[21:56] <snova> ArrPirate: now that i look at it, i think there's another problem
[21:56] <joaopinto> ops, was AtomicSpark
[21:56] <MadsRH> I know it's hard, but how many ubuntu users are there?
[21:56] <snova> ArrPirate: directory trees won't be copied, just the files
[21:56] <ArrPirate> Yay, I got it working
[21:57] <snova> ArrPirate: but i don't know how to do that anyway
[21:57] <joaopinto> MadsRH, no way to answer
[21:57] <ArrPirate> I didn't want directory trees copied
[21:57] <snova> ArrPirate: good.
[21:57] <user_> MadsRH: millions
[21:57] <zoobox> are there a package  w32codecs, or something similar?
[21:57] <Jordan_U> !w32codecs | zoobox
[21:57] <joaopinto> zoobox, from the medibuntu repository I believe so
[21:57] <snova> zoobox: for what? mp3s?
[21:57] <jagggy> when running virtualbox i get this as errors: http://pastebin.com/d3c580150 any ideas on howto fix it?
[21:58] <BlackRece> how do i get my xp laptop to connect to the internet via this ubuntu box? my wired xp box works, all i should have to do is install and ipmasq should run and work
[21:58] <user_> jagggy: i suggest getting the debs from vb homepage
[21:58] <joaopinto> jagggy, have you installed virtualbox-ose-modules ?
[21:59] <jagggy> joaopinto, yes
[21:59] <jagggy> and user_ ok
[21:59] <zoobox> snova:  I try to comvert a audio file of type WMSpeech/Windows Media Audio 9 Voice to something sane...
[21:59] <zoobox> so I can listen to it
[21:59] <amenado> BlackRece-> you're still at it eh?  you didnt do what I suggested?
[21:59] <joaopinto> user_, why do you suggest using the debs from the homepage instead of the repositories, is there any know problem with vb from the repositories ?
[21:59] <user_> joaopinto: i never got it working
[21:59] <joaopinto> jagggy, are you part of the vbox user ?
[22:00] <joaopinto> ops, i mean, group
[22:00] <jagggy> joaopinto, no
[22:00] <snova> zoobox: i've never heard of that type of file
[22:00] <b4l7424r> i can't upgrade from firefox beta 5 to the latest, it says it's not available or something in synaptic
[22:00] <BlackRece> amenado: i'm wired to the net via ubuntu firewall, i just need to setup my wireless card and then im done.
[22:00] <snova> zoobox: but it's probably just some codec.
[22:00] <zoobox> joaopinto: I guess I should add medibuntu repository then?
[22:00] <joaopinto> jagggy, I believe you need to belong to the vbox user group toe be able to use the vbox driver
[22:00] <jagggy> k joapinto setted myself as a member
[22:01] <BlackRece> amenado: thankyou for your help previously, but now I need more! (as always)
[22:01] <snova> b4l7424r: synaptic won't have it if it's the latest
[22:01] <joaopinto> zoobox, if you need the w32codecs.. yes.. but be advised that is illegal :)
[22:01] <snova> b4l7424r: download it from firefox's homepage
[22:01] <b4l7424r> ok
[22:01] <joaopinto> jagggy, you will need to relogin for the membership to have effect
[22:01] <amenado> BlackRece-> can you kindly draw a picture of what devices you have ie network layout? a picture is worth a thousand words
[22:01] <snova> b4l7424r: unless they only have source tarballs
[22:01] <snova> b4l7424r: look for files ending in .deb
[22:01] <zoobox> snova: yeah some strange low-quality-for-speech encoding I guess. Haven't found any program here in linux that can play it.
[22:01] <alraune> zoobox shurely bought them with some other soft...
[22:02] <joaopinto> snova, the latest is available from synaptic, to be more precise from the repositories, assuming he is using hardy
[22:02] <zoobox> snova: mplay says "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmspdmod.dll, /usr/lib/win32/wmspdmod.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/wmspdmod.dll"
[22:02] <zoobox> *mplayer
[22:02] <b4l7424r> i do use hardy
[22:02] <snova> zoobox: if you still have windows, try converting it from Windows to something else
[22:02] <user_> joaopinto: nothing worked out of the box, with the debs from upstream it did, sure i had to comile something but it told exactly how and i could monkey repeat it
[22:02] <joaopinto> b4l7424r, final should be available from the system updated
[22:02] <joaopinto> user_, ok
[22:03] <BlackRece> amenado: its simple enuf for words (i think) internet via cable modem to unbuntu box to xp pc on eth0 and two xp laptops on wireless
[22:03] <alraune> :zoobox: simply apt-get install vlc, use the included codecs..
[22:03] <snova> zoobox: but i don't know much about windows media player file formats
[22:03] <joaopinto> user_, system updates
[22:03] <joaopinto> ops, was for b4ggi0
[22:03] <joaopinto> grrr b4l7424r
[22:03] <TolgaK> anybody know how to get flash player on x64 computers?
[22:03] <Jester45> !flash > TolgaK
[22:03] <joaopinto> tolecnal, just install the nonfree flash player package from the package manager
[22:04] <TolgaK> thanks
[22:04] <barslow> Ubuntu 8.04 is horrible
[22:04] <Jester45> joaopinto: he said 64bit
[22:04] <zoobox> joaopinto: yes I bet those w32codecs are closed source, I whould prefer something open source. if I just can find anything that open the files ..
[22:04] <barslow> dont upgrade if you havent already
[22:04] <user_> barslow: why?
[22:04] <joaopinto> Jester45, the package is available for 64 bits
[22:04] <ArrPirate> is there a way to make a script run every time a volume is mounted?
[22:04] <barslow> so many bugs
[22:04] <TolgaK> Jester45 the link is dead
[22:04] <user_> barslow: go figure
[22:04] <barslow> it randomly freezes on me at least 2wice a day
[22:04] <zoobox> alraune: I got them from the city library...
[22:04] <BlackRece> amenado: i've already installed wireless nic, set it up to essid=fireweb ip=192.168.3.1 gateway=192.168.3.0 and mask as 255.255.255.0
[22:05] <Jester45> joaopinto: adobe never made 64bit do i dont see how there could be a 64bit package
[22:05] <barslow> the trash is all messed up FF3 bites so hard
[22:05] <joaopinto> !ot | barslow
[22:05] <molgrum> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/243707 please i hate this :(
[22:05] <joaopinto> barslow, so you have a support question ?
[22:05] <barslow> yes
[22:05] <TolgaK> are there no other flash player programs?
[22:05] <Jester45> barslow: dont use the trash and dont use ff3 then :)
[22:05] <barslow> how can i downgrade without major issues
[22:05] <joaopinto> Jester45, the 32 bits version works on 64 bits using an wrapper
[22:05] <molgrum> TolgaK: there is gnash
[22:05] <b4l7424r> what's up with pastebin, it says that their spam filter was tripped when i paste something
[22:05] <Jester45> !flash > jester45
[22:06] <joaopinto> its not a native 64 bits flash plugin.. its a workable plugin for 64 bits
[22:06] <Starnestommy> b4l7424r: you may need to enable javascript
[22:06] <joaopinto> barslow, downgrade is not supported.. you will need to reinstall the system
[22:06] <TolgaK> nvm Jester45, my internet is dying
[22:06] <Jester45> TolgaK: the page isnt dead i just looked at it try reloading the page
[22:07] <b4l7424r> Starnestommy, i have javascript
[22:07] <joaopinto> barslow, you can install the firefox-2 package and use it instead
[22:07] <barslow> joaopinto: how can i re-install wih the least amount of headaches
[22:07] <motra> can i get cd's for ubuntu?
[22:07] <Jordan_U> barslow, Do you have flash installed?
[22:07] <barslow> joaopinto: its not just those things nothing seems to work right mplayer freezes constantly, klibido doesnt work anymore, nautilus is messed up
[22:07] <joaopinto> barslow, if you had your /home on a separate partition, it should be easy to reinstall, otherwise there is no easy option, just backup and reinstall
[22:07] <owen1> any recommendation for a text-based p2p app?
[22:08] <Jordan_U> motra, burn them yourself or have them shipped to you via shipit.ubuntu.com
[22:08] <barslow> like an idiot i don't have home on a seperate partition
[22:08] <joaopinto> barslow, it must be something specific to your hw config.. I didn't experienced such problems.. neither most of us around
[22:08] <jpds> !rtorrent | owen1
[22:08] <Jordan_U> !home | barslow
[22:08] <jpds> !info rtorrent | owen1
[22:09] <barslow> joaopinto: what is HW config?
[22:09] <barslow> hardware config?
[22:09] <joaopinto> barfbag, hardware config
[22:09] <barslow> true
[22:09] <owen1> jpds: i was looking for something like amule.
[22:09] <joaopinto> ops, barslow
[22:09] <barslow> well 7.04 worked swimmingly
[22:09] <barslow> *7.10 rather
[22:09] <jpds> owen1: Hmm, well I personall y recommend rtorrent. :)
[22:10] <Leefmc> Question: Whats that other apt-get command, that will actually autoremove all config/et. al. files of a program?
[22:10] <amenado> BlackRece-> your wireless nic on ubuntu  is it set to ADHOC mode?
[22:10] <joaopinto> Leefmc, sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[22:10] <snova> Leefmc: apt-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME
[22:10] <Sni_peR> I have an external hard drive that I backed up files on from Windows XP.  I now want to put those files
[22:11] <Leefmc> I know that one (i know apt-get, and it has docs :), but there is another apt command entirely
[22:11] <snova> Leefmc: but it won't delete personal config files, just global ones
[22:11] <BlackRece> amenado: mode=managed, change it?
[22:11] <Sni_peR>  on my ubuntu system, but it's formatted for windows
[22:11] <Sni_peR> any suggestions?

[22:11] <joaopinto> Leefmc, there is aptitude
[22:11] <mcquaid> hello, since upgrading to hardy, burning fails in everything (brasero, gnomebaker, k3b).  could someone show me how their cd/dvd rom drive is listed in fstab?
[22:11] <Leefmc> thats it!
[22:11] <Jester45> Sni_peR: you can mount windows drives in ubuntu
[22:11] <Sni_peR> ubottu: it was an accident
[22:11] <snova> Leefmc: aptitude?
[22:11] <mcquaid> not sure if it's related but wanted to check something

[22:12] <Jester45> Sni_peR: 	is it FAT or NTFS
[22:12] <joaopinto> b4ggi0, select a different mirror
[22:12] <aspeer> anyone run into the reboot or insert proper boot disk error when doing a clean install?
[22:12] <Leefmc> snova: Now since were on the subject, which is best to use? From what i was told, aptitude and apt-get remove * can do similar functions
[22:12] <Jester45> !pastebin | b4l7424r
[22:12] <Sni_peR> jester45: no clue, I'd have to go look.  I just borrowed it from a friend
[22:12] <BlackRece> amenado: i've got dnsmasq doing dhcp and dns, hopefully
[22:12] <ArrPirate> How can I have a script run every time I mount a volume?
[22:12] <joaopinto> !best | Leefmc
[22:12] <snova> Leefmc: aptitude is an ncurses frontend
[22:12] <b4l7424r> http://pastebin.ca/1058471 <-- here's the error messages i get when i try to update firefox in synaptic
[22:13] <snova> Leefmc: there are gui apps that do mostly the same thing
[22:13] <joaopinto> b4l7424r, change to another mirror
[22:13] <snova> Leefmc: but you can tell them all the same commands
[22:13] <Jester45> Sni_peR: is it a internal drive or extermal jump drive or external harddrive (like 80GB+)
[22:13] <Sni_peR> external harddrive
[22:13] <Sni_peR> 100 GB
[22:13] <b4l7424r> joaopinto, how do i do that?
[22:13] <amenado> BlackRece-> are the laptops able to connect at all to your ubuntu?
[22:13] <snova> Leefmc: dpkg is a bit lower level, it doesn't handle dependencies (i think) except by telling you they aren't met
[22:13] <joaopinto> b4ggi0, System -> Admin -> Soft sources
[22:14] <Leefmc> gotcha
[22:14] <nogeek> hi, is there a more recent install CD available? (including updates)
[22:14] <Jester45> Sni_peR: im guessing its NTFS because FAt might not beable to handle that size so...
[22:14] <Jester45> !ntfs > Sni_peR
[22:14] <BlackRece> amenado: both laptops can't find ssid, i've set the ESSID in ubuntu but am not sure if it is the same thing
[22:14] <snova> Leefmc: mostly i use adept_manager to find packages, apt-get to install them, and dpkg --purge to get rid of them
[22:14] <owen1> jpds: i am using it. but it's only for torrent files.
[22:14] <Jester45> have a look at that link it might help
[22:14] <snova> Leefmc: but there's plenty of choice
[22:14] <Leefmc> snova: Perfect :)
[22:14] <owen1> jpds: can u search with rtorrent?
[22:15] <marc_> Does anyone use gnubiff and if so does the sound work on new mail notification?
[22:15] <mcquaid> can someone show me their cd/dvd rom entry in their fstab?
[22:15] <amenado> BlackRece-> am not sure why you are even trying to use your ubuntu as an AP..but its your game...not sure if your nic card can support that mode
[22:15] <snova> Leefmc: although now that i know apt-get also takes the --purge option, i'll be using that instead.
[22:15] <Sni_peR> jester: thanks
[22:15] <joaopinto> owen1, you search for torrents on the net.. not on the torrent client.. at least.. usually
[22:15] <Jester45> snova:  why not use apt-get remove --purge ? perferance or lazy and dont want to type that much
[22:15] <Leefmc> snova: haha
[22:15] <jpds> owen1: No. Plenty of seach engines out there.
[22:15] <snova> Leefmc: because i didn't know about it then
[22:16] <Leefmc> snova: You mean joaopinto :)
[22:16] <owen1> joaopinto: so what is the different between amule and rtorrent (apart from the ui)
[22:16] <Leefmc> argh
[22:16] <Jester45> owen1:  you cant search with rtorrent rtorrent is for useing torrent files not finding them
[22:16] <Leefmc> joaopinto: I mean Jester45
[22:16] <joaopinto> owen1, erm, read something about torrents
[22:16] <BlackRece> amenado: i've had to send my linksys wireless router back for repairs, so in the mean time I need an alternative, had a wireless nic so here i am
[22:16] <amenado> BlackRece-> furthermore, i dont think dnsmasq can be used to forward the dhcp and dns features to the client
[22:16] <Leefmc> Seems we're all saying the wrong name.
[22:17] <snova> Leefmc: oh, yes, though it probably got read anyway
[22:17] <Jester45> owen1: diffrent networks  and diffrent ways the networks work but if you want to find out more google or pm me because thats offtopic
[22:17] <owen1> joaopinto: Jester45: ok
[22:17] <Leefmc> snova: Maybe, i tend to miss any message not directed at me. Only because they're not highlighted heh
[22:18] <BlackRece> amenado: ok, i don't mind manualy seting up each laptop, but I need the wireless nic in ubuntu to be seen by laptops ssid broadcasted or not
[22:18] <owen1> do people still using apps like amule today? is there material you can't find in torrents and can find with amule?
[22:18] <Jester45> owen1: please stay on topic
[22:19] <joaopinto> owen1, you are offtopic, do you have any more ubuntu support question ?
[22:19] <chris10> Hello, can anyone help me get my sound working? It's an nForce 2 AC97 and I can't hear anything
[22:19] <amenado> BlackRece-> first you have to read up on your nic card wireless features, can it do ADHOC and insfrastructure?
[22:19] <Jester45> owen1: you can /msg me about p2p if you want
[22:19] <owen1> Jester45: thanks
[22:19] <snova> chris10: is the volume on? just checking.
[22:19] <chris10> It's on
[22:19] <Jester45> chris10: make sure your master and PCM volume is unmuted and raised up
[22:19] <snova> chris10: that too.
[22:19] <chris10> Both checked, they are
[22:20] <Blaqlight> chown -R us:us /your/base/*
[22:20] <Jester45> chris10: run aplay -l in a terminal and see if it gives you your sound card or an error
[22:20] <BlackRece> amenado: can we assume it can, try it, then shrug our shoulders if it dont work?!
[22:20] <snova> chris10: well, search the packages for drivers, i guess.
[22:20] <Leefmc> Question: I can't get my mic input to pick up any signal, what are the proper setting requirements for mic's?
[22:20] <amenado> BlackRece-> i can assume it does not work, my shoulders are shrugging
[22:20] <FarmCretin> it seems a little crazy in here at the moment, if anyone can help me with sharing over a network, please PM/whisper to me
[22:21] <Blaqlight> chris10, which flavor of ubuntu are you using?
[22:21] <chris10> It lists my device, and it was working before I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu
[22:21] <chris10> xubuntu
[22:21] <amenado> BlackRece-> just read up what your wifi nic card can do, and the driver it uses..
[22:21] <joaopinto> FarmCretin, help is provided on the channel, so the other ppl can learn from it, and the channel is not that crowded at the moment :)
[22:22] <Leefmc> Also, if i test Sound Capture, i get an error. Then it freezes heh. I'll copy the error once its done freezing.
[22:22] <tiredofproblems> Hello, I removed my NVIDIA 4 MX card and replaced it with an NVIDIA FX 5500 and I've been going round and round for several hours now and nothing I do will allow me to use it without it throwing me to some low graphics mode followed by freezing so badly I have to do a hard reboot, it works in Windows Xp but not in Ubuntu PLEASE help my family is looking forward to this and I don't want to let them down!!!
[22:22] <BlackRece> amenado: lol, well, where can i look (on ubuntu box) for info on wifi nic?
[22:22] <Leefmc> Error: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
[22:22] <Leefmc> Thoughts?
[22:22] <aib> does anyone keep vmware debian packages that are in sync with kernel versions?
[22:22] <aib> its such a pain to recompile the module every time i update my kernel
[22:22] <FarmCretin> ok then, can i use samba to share files on my network to a windows PC?
[22:22] <amenado> BlackRece-> umm google, id start there :P
[22:22] <alraune> ? did anyone tried kernelcheck ?
[22:23] <BlackRece> amenado: thank you lol
[22:23] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, are you using the restricted nvidia driver ?
[22:23] <snova> Leefmc: are those exclamation marks?
[22:23] <Leefmc> snova: Seems to be
[22:23] <Jordan_U> tiredofproblems, Have you tried envy-ng?
[22:23] <st> hi. i just set xord driver to intel, glxinfo says i am using indirect rendering, recognises it;s intel 965, but glxgears is very slow at 260 fps in initial res
[22:23] <TolgaK> molgrum, gnash installed but doesn't work
[22:23] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto I am trying to use nvidia-glx-new but it fails, no but I was told nvidia-glx-new works, how do I try envy-ng please
[22:23] <snova> Leefmc: they should be unbroken lines, above the enter key.
[22:23] <TolgaK> I get a big white space where the video should be
[22:24] <Scunizi> When adding a drawer to a panel, is there a way to have that drawer automatically populated with directory names that are inside of a specific directory?
[22:24] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto will envy-nv solve these problems?
[22:24] <molgrum> TolgaK: URL?
[22:24] <molgrum> i can check if it works here
[22:24] <Leefmc> snova: I copied it directly. Dont ask me :)
[22:24] <Leefmc> snova: I didn't type it.
[22:24] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto and will I have to reconfigure envy-ng every time I do a kernel update?
[22:24] <chris10> Seems like a common problem with the AC97 (new versions of Unbuntu making it stop working) but I can't seem to find a fix.. anyone that can shed some light?
[22:24] <TolgaK> molgrum, I unstalled it through synaptic
[22:24] <snova> st: how is 260 fps slow?
[22:24] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, envy-ng installs the latest driver from nvidia, if your card is only supported by a new driver it may solve your problem
[22:24] <Jordan_U> tiredofproblems, No, envy-ng does that automatically
[22:24] <molgrum> TolgaK: to the video i mean
[22:24] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto thank you is envy-ng in the repos?
[22:24] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, I believe envy-ng takes care of that, but I am not sure
[22:24] <st> snova: my geforce 8500 says 47225 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9444.981 FPS
[22:24] <st> 260 is very slow
[22:25] <snova> Leefmc: now and then i get an error about pipes. i mess with it until it works, that's all i know.
[22:25] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, yes, envyng-gtk
[22:25] <TolgaK> molgrum, none of the videos work
[22:25] <molgrum> TolgaK: or you can ask in #gnash
[22:25] <TolgaK> thanks
[22:25] <Jordan_U> tiredofproblems, There is no guarantee that it will help, it is worth a shot though
[22:25] <Blaqlight> how do you get framerate information then?
[22:25] <joaopinto> TolgaK, I would recommend the adobe flash plugin instead of gnash
[22:25] <snova> st: that fast? don't complain, that's amazing as far as i know
[22:25] <unop> tiredofproblems, you could also try reconfiguring xorg. press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run these commands at the console.   sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop; sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg;  # once you have completed the questionaire, reboot
[22:26] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto thank you so much joaopinto, I am very thankful for your kind help. If envy doesn't work, is it as simple as an uninstall via Synaptic or will I have to manually remove it?
[22:26] <st> snova: this is not maximised.... you are perhaps thinking of it being maximised
[22:26] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, not sure, but removing should also remove the latest driver modules
[22:26] <TolgaK> joaopinto, I'm using a 64 bit system, adobe doesn't work
[22:26] <ranser> xorg can be a pain in the ass
[22:26] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto thanks have you ever had your desktop do a hard lock up freeze?
[22:26] <joaopinto> TolgaK, it does work for me.. at least randomly with ff3
[22:26] <ranser> had problems with it
[22:26] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto it freezes on me when I use nvidia or nv
[22:26] <unop> TolgaK, you might want to install a 32bit firefox in a chroot so you can use the adobe flash
[22:26] <Blaqlight> st what are you using to get the framerate information?
[22:26] <joaopinto> tiredofproblems, no
[22:27] <aziz> Is it possible to mount drives automatically depending on the wireless network's SSID?
[22:27] <TolgaK> unop, how do I do that?
[22:27] <tiredofproblems> joaopinto it makes me so mad I want to cry
[22:27] <st> Blaqlight: glxgears
[22:27] <unop> !chroot | TolgaK
[22:27] <joaopinto> unop, what's the advantage of that versus the regular plugin using nswrapper ?
[22:27] <TolgaK> unop thanks
[22:27] <cooper> hey guys, if Firefox3 starts in offline mode because it relies on network-manager to say it's online, and I don't use network-manager (I'm using fluxbox) how can I get firefox3 to start in online mode?
[22:27] <Blaqlight> st, thanks
[22:27] <joe__> hey, I'm running with an onboard ati video chip, and thinking about enabling compiz, but without the proprietary drivers it says I can only do it with a resolution 1024x1024 or lower. Would installing the proprietary drivers let me run compiz in a higher resolution or should I not bother trying?
[22:28] <unop> joaopinto, ability to have both a 64bit and 32bit firefox you can switch to
[22:28] <st> direct rendering: Yes, and OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 4.1.3002 x86/MMX/SSE2
[22:28] <MaskedOne> I need help making a shared folder accesible to other comps via a windows samba network
[22:28] <unop> cooper, i run fluxbox too -- and i just removed network manager completely
[22:28] <MaskedOne> Did it in kubuntu easy enough but cant seem to get it working in ubuntu
[22:29] <snova> joe__: for me, the proprietary drivers made it much faster.
[22:29] <cooper> unop: that took care of the problem, eh?
[22:29] <snova> joe__: but i don't know about resolution
[22:29] <unop> cooper, aye, it did
[22:29] <khamael> does anybody know where I can get the microdia webcam driver for linux?
[22:29] <cooper> unop: apt-get remove network-manager ?
[22:29] <Blaqlight> lol its 1001 FPS for me, but not full screen, thats 100 times better than it is in windows.
[22:30] <unop> cooper, i did,  sudo aptitude purge network-manager
[22:30] <cooper> unop: sounds good, thanks for the advice.
[22:30] <st> Blaqlight: i get 260 - 270. far too slow for intel gma645 or whatever it is
[22:30] <joe__> snova: thanks for the help. I guess I'll try installing them. I'm just coming from a gentoo system and am now wary of changing lots of stuff. My ubuntu system seems all clean and new to me now =]
[22:31] <snova> st: that seems plenty fast. i've never seen anything better than 60, and that was on windows (where it ran slightly faster)
[22:31] <unop> cooper, also remove/purge network-manager-gnome if it is installed
[22:31] <aspeer> anyone know why after a clean install on 1 of 3 hd ubuntu gives me a insert boot media error? i have tried reinstalling 4 or 5 times, no dual boot just clean ubuntu
[22:32] <Blaqlight> st correction fullscreen its 134 FPS on a Mobile 945GM chipset.
[22:32] <st> snova: if you never seen more than 60, you were probBLY running non accelerated vesa
[22:32] <st> Blaqlight: what aboutnonfullscreen
[22:32] <Jordan_U> joe__, Install it via System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers that way you can easily go back to pristine since it uses the package manager :)
[22:32]  * pdx77 is away: Gone away for now.
[22:32] <Blaqlight> st well over 1000 FPS
[22:32] <snova> st: and that was on windows. ubuntu gives about 40... all of these numbers are from a favorite astronomy app of mine
[22:33] <st>  Blaqlight i get 260 :(
[22:33] <snova> st: i didn't know the norm was so much higher than that.
[22:33] <st> snova: 3d acceleration is not turned on then
[22:33] <snova> st: i thought it was! how do you turn it on then?
[22:33] <st> snova: depends
[22:34] <Jordan_U> snova, What GFX card do you have?
[22:34] <snova> st: ati something....
[22:34] <joe__> Jordan_U:
[22:34] <joe__> haha sorry
[22:34] <st> i'm running the intel driver, not i810
[22:34] <snova> st: i'll check
[22:34] <Leefmc> Question: I still can't get my mic to work. Anyone know anything in this area?
[22:35] <Jordan_U> snova, Does "glxinfo | grep direct" say "direct rendering: Yes" ?
[22:35] <snova> st: i don't know. but it's only a laptop.
[22:35] <eftex> hi there
[22:35] <snova> Jordan_U: yes.
[22:35] <st> snova: same here
[22:36] <eftex> i  just installed ubuntu 7.10 and updated to v8
[22:36] <Jordan_U> snova, Then you are getting at least some 3D acceleration
[22:36] <eftex> now i wanted to enable the compiz-stuff but it seems there is no graphics-card driver that works for me
[22:36] <tarelerulz> I am running iplist which is an ipblocker and itworks on the command line ,but I can't get the gui working. It has something to do with the java . I try intalling the two thing on the out put for the gui .   here is the out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/23792/
[22:36] <joe__> Jordan_U: To make the drivers show up in the Hardware Drivers window, do I need to enable other repositories? Thanks for helping me out, by the way
[22:36] <Jordan_U> snova, You may get better, or possibly worse, with the proprietary driver
[22:36] <eftex> i have a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 ( the one which allready uses the G92 chip) and i chose the GeForce 8-Series driver but it seems not to work
[22:36] <st> argh. just got some newbs here  :(
[22:37] <eftex> i allready googled but no help there :/
[22:37] <snova> Jordan_U: i'm using the proprietary driver. without it i got less than 1 fps.
[22:37] <joaopinto> eftex, are you using the restricted driver ?
[22:37] <Aragorn94> st: n00bs
[22:37] <Jordan_U> joe__, No, they should show up there by default, if nothing does and you have a new card you might need a newer version of the nvidia drivers than are available by default though
[22:37] <eftex> joaopinto i just chose from that driver-dialog?
[22:38] <eftex> joaopinto: should i download and compile the nvidia drivers from their ftp-site?
[22:38] <joaopinto> eftex, yes, from the system, admin, hard drivers
[22:38] <joaopinto> eftex, no, if you want the latest, use the envyng-gtk app
[22:38] <st> Aragorn94: :)
[22:38] <pac1> I have a printer with a built in memory card reader.  How do I mount the card?
[22:38] <joaopinto> which will download and install the driver for you
[22:38] <eftex> joaopinto: it says that there are not special drivers needed für my system :-S
[22:38] <joaopinto> eftex, ok, so just go with envyng
[22:39] <pac1> looked all over for how to do that.  Plenty of advice on installing linux on usb cards but none on how to connect them in the first place.
[22:39] <Leefmc> Question: When you change sound preferences, do you need to reboot?
[22:39] <snova> Jordan_U: should /etc/X11/xorg.conf have an entry for DRM? because "grep -i drm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" reports nothing.
[22:39] <eftex> joaopinto: its not in the repos? cant get it with apt-get ... so its some special script?
[22:39] <Jordan_U> pac1, Most USB cards 'just work', plug them in and they auto-mount, I am not sure about printer / memory card combos
[22:40] <joaopinto> effie_jayx, envygn-gtk is available from universe, you need universe enabled
[22:40] <st> 145 frames in 5.0 seconds = 28.866 FPS   when maximised
[22:40] <joaopinto> ops, was eftex
[22:40] <pac1> yeah.  to top it off, the thing is actually on a netgear server.
[22:40] <taes81> can anyone help me use gparted
[22:40] <pac1> No hope there.
[22:40] <eftex> joaopinto: wthell is universe? :D kk letme do some google-homework :D
[22:40] <joe__> Jordan_U: Actually, I'm beginning to think that my onboard card is an ATI Raedon 9100 and not supported by fglrx. If I turn off my computer and put in a more advanced (but possibly faulty) ati card, will I need to do any sort of reconfiguring before X will work again, or will it detect it automatically and configure itself by itself?
[22:40] <pac1> time to find a usb cable.
[22:40] <Jordan_U> snova, No, Xorg should enable DRM on its own ( and if you get direct rendering: yes then it has )
[22:40] <yoyoned> taes81: what are you trying to do
[22:41] <joaopinto> !universe | eftex
[22:41] <eftex> joaopinto: okay it seems to be one of the four main-repos
[22:41] <Jordan_U> snova, Ubuntu is trying to keep the xorg.conf as sparse as possible as Xorg gets better at autodetection
[22:41] <snova> Jordan_U: hmm, i recall seeing something about drm there before
[22:41] <st> Jordan_U: i have dri on, but still crap fps
[22:41] <taes81> just trying to have 2 partitions for each operating system
[22:41] <snova> Jordan_U: i used aticonfig at one point. maybe it created a less than optimal config....
[22:41] <taes81> 1 for linux and one for win
[22:41] <yoyoned> taes81: what kind of hekp do you need
[22:41] <joaopinto> taes81, have you backed up your data to start with ?
[22:42] <Jordan_U> snova, Are you using fglrx?
[22:42] <snova> Jordan_U: yes.
[22:42] <snova> Jordan_U: at least i think i am.
[22:42] <taes81> no not yet can i access my windows directorys from here?
[22:42] <b4l7424r> will i be able to update wine thru the regular repos if i wait a few days or do i need to add the wine repos to my list first?
[22:43] <Leefmc> Question: What is "esd" and why does running it make my mic work in vumeter. The funny thing is, vumeter sees my mic when esd is on, but nothing else can because of multimedia settings. Thoughts?
[22:43] <joaopinto> taes81, yes you can, you should perform a backup before managing partitions, just in case
[22:43] <eftex> joaopinto: okay thx... it seems i also have the univsere repo activated but i cant find the packet in a search via synaptic?
[22:43] <joaopinto> b4l7424r, wine will be updated on the official repository in some days
[22:43] <nDuff> Leefmc, esd == Enlightenment Sound Daemon
[22:43] <Jordan_U> joe__, It "should" detect it by itself ( though it won't use fglrx until you install it )
[22:43] <b4l7424r> ok
[22:43] <joaopinto> eftex, from the terminal: apt-cache search envyng-gtk
[22:44] <joe__> Jordan_U: Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I really appreciate the help
[22:44] <taes81> i cant do a full back up just dvds how can i access the c:
[22:44] <Blaqlight> does enlightenment even exist anymore as a window manager?
[22:44] <nDuff> Leefmc, it grabs the sound hardware and shares it with any software which supports its protocol.
[22:44] <Leefmc> nDuff: Gotcha
[22:44] <nDuff> Blaqlight, sadly.
[22:44] <Leefmc> nDuff: Nice
[22:44] <joe__> Bye all, wish me luck.
[22:44] <snova> Blaqlight: yes
[22:44] <eftex> joaopinto: so the apt-get manager does not give me the same search-results as the synaptic? :( ok thx for that hint
[22:44] <orgthingy> wow
[22:44] <orgthingy> sudo apt-get install wine doesnt work in 8.04
[22:44] <orgthingy> why?
[22:44] <Leefmc> Sweet my mic is working, no idea why or how though.. heh
[22:44] <Leefmc> nDuff: Any idea how to loop my mic back through my speakers?
[22:45] <joaopinto> eftex, it does, i am just driving to the terminal to prevent any gui usage mistake :P
[22:45] <Jordan_U> orgthingy, It should
[22:45]  * nDuff was never fond of E ever since he tried reading its source around '99 or so
[22:45] <orgthingy> any idea?
[22:45] <bjwebb_> hmmm
[22:45] <orgthingy> Jordan_U: it says  "Reading pakcages..etc" and usual things
[22:45] <joaopinto> orgthingy, you need to enable the universe repository
[22:45] <orgthingy> but
[22:45] <orgthingy> it says package not found
[22:45] <pac1> Jordan_U, I had this old sandisk reader that didn't used to work on linux.  Just for fun I plugged it in and stuff came right up.  What a difference a couple of years makes.
[22:45] <orgthingy> how?
[22:45] <eftex> apt-cache search envyng-gtk <-- that does not give me a result either joaopinto :(
[22:45] <joaopinto> !universe | orgthingy
[22:45] <Jordan_U> orgthingy, Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[22:45] <bjwebb_> i want a parted/gparted i can boot from grub, so i don't need a livecd and won't damage a running system
[22:45] <orgthingy> how do i enable it?
[22:45] <Blaqlight> I figured nobody used it, I was just wondering.
[22:45] <joaopinto> eftex, you didn't update your package info after enabling the repository
[22:46] <nDuff> Leefmc, no clue, haven't played w/ it in ages; my workstation doesn't have sound at all.
[22:46] <eftex> joaopinto: i did a apt-get update
[22:46] <orgthingy> Jordan_U: well, my friend is having the problem
[22:46] <eftex> joaopinto:  and the repo was allready active
[22:46] <joaopinto> eftex, so, you do not have the universe repository properly set
[22:46] <joaopinto> janito@janito-desktop:~$ apt-cache search envyng-gtk
[22:46] <joaopinto> envyng-gtk - install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver
[22:46] <Jordan_U> eftex, Are you running 8.04 ?
[22:47] <eftex> Jordan_U: yeah, just updated to it from 7.10
[22:47] <Jordan_U> eftex, can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[22:48] <eftex> of course just a sec
[22:48] <eftex> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23803/ @ Jordan_U
[22:49] <eftex> Jordan_U: uh i guess i still have 7.10
[22:49] <eftex> just downloaded the softwareupdates/patches
[22:50] <some_person> anyone else's speakers not working with Ubuntu?
[22:50] <raistlinmaje7> can someone here help me with regular expressions?
[22:50] <eftex> Jordan_U: i'll update my system to 8.04 first
[22:50] <snova> raistlinmaje7: what do you need to know?
[22:50] <eftex> thx for advice and help brb
[22:51] <Jordan_U> eftex, Maybe Hardy will fix your GFX problems :) ( it may also introduce other problems but what is an upgrade without a little suspenss :)
[22:51] <raistlinmaje7> I can't figure out how to get egrep to match anything but a phrase
[22:51] <raistlinmaje7> I want to match everything that is not ".html"
[22:51] <joaopinto> !regexp | raistlinmaje7
[22:51] <raistlinmaje7> I've already read the man page
[22:51] <snova> raistlinmaje7: add the -v option to grep's invocation
[22:52] <joaopinto> rainabba, for that you dont need egrep, you just need grep -v
[22:52] <snova> raistlinmaje7: it inverts it's search, looking for lines that DON'T match.
[22:52] <Jordan_U> raistlinmaje7, egrep -v .html
[22:52] <raistlinmaje7> no I meant, I'm searching within a string, and I want every part of the string that doesn't match .html
[22:52] <Jordan_U> raistlinmaje7, Ahh, that is more of a job for sed
[22:53] <raistlinmaje7> like I have a text file full of the names of html files
[22:53] <snova> raistlinmaje7: and you want to remove the .html part?
[22:53] <Jordan_U> raistlinmaje7, But I think that it can be done in gnu grep ( it is not a feature of standard unix grep )
[22:53] <raistlinmaje7> yeah
[22:53] <joaopinto> rainabba, sed "s/.html//g"
[22:53] <joaopinto> was raistlinmaje7
[22:54] <raistlinmaje7> that's okay
[22:54] <Fr1> Does anyone know anything about Venrilo on Ubuntu?  I need some help with it.
[22:54] <raistlinmaje7> oh, sweet
[22:54] <raistlinmaje7> thanks, I thought that only worked on text files
[22:54] <Jordan_U> joaopinto, raistlinmaje7 Except you should escape the . like:  sed 's/\.html//g'
[22:54] <raistlinmaje7> I didn't know I could pipe stuff into it
[22:55] <Jordan_U> raistlinmaje7, No unix utilities only work on text files :)
[22:55] <some_person> can someone help me solve my speaker problem? I am absolutely sure that it's Linux's fault (I can say that because I tried openSUSE for a while with the same problem)
[22:55] <joaopinto> you can pipe stuff into any unix utility :)
[22:55] <st> assuming it reads from stdin
[22:55] <raistlinmaje7> awesome, thanks guys
[22:55] <raistlinmaje7> later
[22:55] <joaopinto> some_person, well, I would say it's your hw vendor fault :P
[22:55] <perlsyntax> anyone use perl-support for gvim?
[22:56] <Jordan_U> perlsyntax, I don't, but I am curious what it does
[22:56] <perlsyntax> i try install it and i get error
[22:56] <perlsyntax> it aplugin
[22:56] <some_person> joaopinto: I would say so to, but it was working with Vista before I installed a Linux OS
[22:56] <lagunaloires> jester: eccomi in xchat vera
[22:56] <perlsyntax> it a plugin
[22:56] <snova> perlsyntax: what's the error?
[22:56] <Fr1> Does anybody know anything about Ventrilo?
[22:56] <joaopinto> Fr1, no
[22:57] <Leefmc> Question: What is a good web format that i can output well with Ubuntu? On windows i used QT Pro, H246 is a wonderful format, and QT's playback frame by frame was flawless and precise. I need something as good as that, but i dont think QT is an option, is it?
[22:57] <Jordan_U> perlsyntax, But what does it do, vim by default has perl syntax highlighting
[22:57] <Leefmc> Question: Also, is there a shortcut for the system monitor?
[22:57] <perlsyntax> www.vim.org and look up perl-support
[22:57] <RecycleBin> Where can i find older versions of ubuntu ?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, You can output to h.264 with many linux apps
[22:58] <webcamwonder> Leefmc, If you want encoding , look at ffmpeg and mencoder
[22:58] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Like? And what has good play back support for H264-MOV (Specifically, great frame by frame playback)? I am not happy with VLC's, nor was i on windows.
[22:59] <IndyGunFreak> Leefmc: system monitor.. you can add it as a panel appletI(right click panel, add to panel, system monitor)
[22:59] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, Mplayer / Mencoder
[22:59] <webcamwonder> !mplayer | Leefmc
[22:59] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Ty
[23:00] <Leefmc> IndyGunFreak: I'd prefer not to have it there though, is there a key shortcut to it?
[23:00] <IndyGunFreak> Leefmc: a keyboard shortcut?.. not sure...
[23:00] <Leefmc> IndyGunFreak: k, ty :)
[23:00] <RecycleBin> Does anyone know a fix for the ubuntu installer booting into busybox ?
[23:01] <snova> RecycleBin: you mean from the disk?
[23:01] <RecycleBin> yes
[23:01] <RecycleBin> its not actually installedd
[23:01] <jessica> can anyone tell me any software which will let me play a .MSWMM file (microsoft windows movie maker) in ubuntu hardy
[23:01] <RecycleBin> The installed does load, and i get a splash screen, but then it boots into the busy box CLI
[23:01] <RecycleBin> install*
[23:02] <john_> anyone know of a handy guide to installing a lamp server?
[23:02] <webcamwonder> jessica, You can try mplayer
[23:02] <snova> RecycleBin: you mean the installer stops doing what it should?
[23:02] <webcamwonder> jessica, It supports a variety of codecs and file containers
[23:02] <snova> RecycleBin: or just that you don't like busybox?
[23:02] <jessica> its downloading now, thanks. i tryed vlc expecting that would be able to play it but i was wrong
[23:03] <webcamwonder> jessica, Out of curiosity, is that a project file?
[23:03] <joaopinto> jessica, I am not sure .MSWMM is supported since that looks like an editable format, and jut just a codec
[23:03] <jessica> im not sure i just quickly had a google search
[23:03] <joaopinto> ...and not just...
[23:04] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: And i assume mplayer can't actually convert ogg to h264mov, thats what your Mencoder comment was about?
[23:04] <webcamwonder> jessica, It won't work
[23:04] <jessica> ah ok
[23:04] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, Yes
[23:04] <jessica> thanks anyway
[23:04] <Jester45> kino might because its a video editor
[23:04] <Jester45> but i would google before installing it
[23:04] <webcamwonder> jessica, That is an editable project file... basically a reference to the real media files... with info regarding what transitions, etc to do
[23:05] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone have any experience with GNOME MPlayer? Does it work well? Is it worth using?
[23:05] <jessica> im not short of space ill install it
[23:05] <RecycleBin> snova, i get the initial screen where i can choose to boot a live cd or install. so i select one, and then it goes to the busybox CLI, its not doing what it should
[23:05] <Leefmc> (i believe its just a wrapper)
[23:05] <jessica> and ok ill give it a go
[23:05] <webcamwonder> Leefmc, By that you mean the GUI based Mplayer?
[23:05] <snova> RecycleBin: which did you select?
[23:05] <Jester45> Leefmc: it is just a wrapper to mplayer and mplayer is great
[23:05] <RecycleBin> i tried both the install and live cd
[23:05] <joaopinto> kino does not support windows movie maker files
[23:05] <Nith> I'm trying to set up a printer over CUPS. I publish a printer using hte admin page at localhost:631 and tell it to "share published printers" I then go to my other computer and try ot connect and get a 403 erro
[23:06] <Leefmc> webcamwonder: I believe so, i havent installed mplayer yet so im not sure all what the version GNOME does. But is it a stable wrapper?
[23:06] <jessica> ah ok
[23:06] <snova> RecycleBin: well, i can't help you. sorry. but see if there's a log file somewhere, and check the end. that's all i can say.
[23:06] <jessica> i might have to email it to a friend running windows or possably take it in to work on a pendrive tomorrow
[23:06] <webcamwonder> Leefmc, hmm no so stablish, I actually prefer the CLI version b/c of the great amount of control I get, but I have had some crashes and problems with the GUI on windows
[23:06] <RecycleBin> im going to install an older version. I know older versions installed fine
[23:06] <joaopinto> Leefmc, GNOME just uses the plain mplayer embedded in a GTK app
[23:07] <snova> RecycleBin: which version failed?
[23:07] <ninjasenses> anyone see the movie wanted?
[23:07] <RecycleBin> the latest
[23:07] <hacklsrus> is there a way to improve my screen resolution ...for old laptop ati video
[23:07] <Jester45> Leefmc: the gui mplayer uses the newest version in the repos because its just a gui wrapper
[23:07] <RecycleBin> 8.04
[23:07] <taes81> Does anyone here use BootMagic?
[23:07] <Yud_Zroc> svn: Malformed network data any idea
[23:07] <snova> RecycleBin: i don't have it yet. sorry. but again, i think it leaves a log somewhere. but it may only be for the actual installation process.
[23:07] <Le1> How do I make dhcpd listen on one interface and not another?
[23:07] <Jester45> hacklsrus: is the resoultion maxed allready? old laptops have  low resoulion
[23:07] <joaopinto> taes81, no, grub provides all you need for dual boot.. there is no need for an aditional boot manager
[23:08] <RecycleBin> maybe. If i can get an older version installed i can just upgrade from there
[23:08] <Jester45> Le1: use bind IPadress in the config i would guess
[23:08] <taes81> k so just make a logical partition then?
[23:08] <Leefmc> Jester45: Any idea if mplayer can be considered a full replacement of VLC & "Movie Player"?
[23:08] <hacklsrus> only 800x600 60hz
[23:08] <Le1> ok
[23:08] <Yud_Zroc> hack use envy
[23:08] <Jester45> Leefmc: yes because its my fill replacement i dont use or have either installed
[23:08] <Le1> Jester45: but how?
[23:09] <perlsyntax> how do you setup web cam in linux?
[23:09] <Leefmc> Jester45: K, thanks. I use both and i dont like either of them that much (which is why i have both).
[23:09] <taes81> joaopinto: should i just make one logical partition along with my windows partition
[23:09] <Leefmc> Jester45: I've always hated VLC for H264-MOV playback.
[23:09] <Jester45> Le1: look online for how to or just edit the config file and put bind cards.ip.address.here
[23:10] <Le1> Jester45: so if I have the interface at 10.0.0.1, I can just bind 10.0.0.1 in the config?
[23:10] <Jester45> Le1: just adding bind is a guess from me though as thats what many server/programs use
[23:10] <Bowler87> Does anybody in here know anything about venrilo?
[23:10] <Le1> ok
[23:10] <Jester45> Le1: that should work unless dhcpd uses a strange syntax
[23:10] <koshari> perlsyntax that would depend on if your cam is supported
[23:11] <Jester45> Bowler87: all i know is that it works on linux the server and client (if you ment ventrilo )
[23:12] <Yud_Zroc> i do a littlebit
[23:12] <taes81> Does anyone know what should be the file type for the logical partition?
[23:12] <Yud_Zroc> ventrillo u need to complie yourself
[23:12] <taes81> file system type
[23:12] <bminuk2> what is the best way to remote control an install from a livecd?
[23:12] <Yud_Zroc> i use ext2
[23:14] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, ssh -X ?
[23:14] <antoine_> ???
[23:14] <bminuk2> Over an Internet connection, I would probably prefer vnc over an ssh tunnel
[23:15] <bminuk2> also, the person is behind a hardware firewall (incomming ssh is kinda difficult..)
[23:16] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, May I ask what the exact situation is?
[23:16] <joe__> Hey everyone. I just tried putting in a graphics card I had lying around, and it worked long enough for me to install the proprietary ati drivers and then died on me before I could uninstall them. I took out the card and turned my computer back on (running on my old onboard card) but now I can only run in "low graphics" mode. I assume that If I can uninstall the packages I installed to get my card working everything will be fine again, but as I
[23:16] <joe__>  am running on a different graphics card the drivers no longer show up in the Hardware Drivers window. Could anyone help me uninstall the driver(s) I just installed?
[23:17] <Jordan_U> joe__, the package is xorg-driver-fglrx you can remove it via apt / synaptic
[23:17] <bminuk2> I have a friend in another city who wishes to use ubuntu.  I have him on livecd now (xubuntu 7.10) and I wish to guide him into a hd install without clobbering his windows side (for now..)
[23:18] <purplestar> hello fellow ubunters
[23:18] <joe__> Jordan_U: Are you sure that's the only one that was installed? I believe I had to download 3 files to install the driver
[23:18] <purplestar> bminuk2: why not ubuntu 8.04?
[23:18] <Leefmc> Question: Is Mencoder a CLI only app?
[23:18] <purplestar> Leefmc: no
[23:18] <amenado> bminuk2-> easy just click on the icon to install
[23:18] <purplestar> Leefmc: yes and no
[23:18] <Jordan_U> joe__, I think the others depend on xorg-driver-fglrx but I am not sure
[23:18] <joe__> I realize that uninstalling just the fglrx will probably get it working again but I'd like to keep all unneccesary packages off
[23:18] <bminuk2> yes, but he is rather non-technical
[23:19] <joe__> oh okay
[23:19] <joe__> thanks, I'll try that
[23:19] <amenado> bminuk2-> no need to be technical to click on an icon
[23:19] <Leefmc> purplestar: Hmm, i dont see an icon anywhere. Where would the GUI be?
[23:19] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, Ubuntu 8.04 has an "install from windows" option which requires no partitioning
[23:19] <bminuk2> I guess I should get him the new livecd, but they haven't updated xubuntu iso to fix the ssl cirt vuln
[23:19] <purplestar> Leefmc: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design3/projects.html
[23:19] <bminuk2> yes, but partitioning, etc can be a bit intimidating...
[23:20] <purplestar> Leefmc: you have to install a GUI frontend
[23:20] <nickrud> bminuk2 that will be addressed during the updates ... (ssl vuln)
[23:20] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, The ssl cert vulnerability is in 7.10 as well
[23:20] <gway9000> linux is intimidating
[23:20] <nickrud> bminuk2 what version of windows is he running?
[23:20] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, I think Dapper goes back far enough to have never been affected
[23:21] <joe__> Jordan_U:Thanks, I'm gonna restart and see if that worked.
[23:21] <bminuk2> Windows xp prof (but the install seems to not work very well, it may work well enough for wubi or lubi..)
[23:21] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, But it's not anything to worry about as long as he updates before enabling ssh
[23:21] <FarmCretin> hi, anyone mind helping me with samba?
[23:21] <Leefmc> purplestar: Ah, gotcha. Odd that i didnt see any GUIs when i installed mencoder from synaptic
[23:21] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, The default mplayer package comes with a gui ( gmplayer )
[23:22] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: For mencoder?
[23:22] <bminuk2> does a livecd update?
[23:22] <nickrud> bminuk2 no
[23:22] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, Oh, sorry no
[23:22] <bminuk2> (again, if I want to remote control a install, I need to log in, and ssh would probably reject)
[23:23] <amenado> xp would not be available for retail sales starting monday....now only if ubuntu can take up the slack..
[23:23] <Jester45> Leefmc: get the mplayer-nogui for a no gui package
[23:23] <bminuk2> I wonder when new isos for xubuntu will be made with the updates
[23:23] <ryan_> Hello.
[23:23] <amenado> bminuk2-> never will be,
[23:23] <Jester45> !welcome | ryan_
[23:23] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, Anything wrong with having him use wubi with 8.04 from windows ?
[23:23] <ryan_> Thank you. :D
[23:24] <gway9000> xubuntu 8.04 is available
[23:24] <Leefmc> Jester45: The default is fine, im just trying to get a GUI for Mencoder. I dont mind CLI, infact i like it (Git and Linux got me used to CLI), but cli is rather slow when your new to an app. Ie, converting ogg to h264mov
[23:24] <Jester45> Jordan_U: its slower but thats about it
[23:24] <Jordan_U> bminuk2, amenado That is not true, *ubuntu 8.04.1 will be made available
[23:24] <RecycleBin> which device is sr0 ?
[23:24] <ryan_> Has anyone noticed a sharp drop in multitasking performance with the .24 kernel?
[23:24] <bminuk2> Any release schedule?
[23:24] <Leefmc> Jester45: And oddly enough GMencoder is not in any of my repos. Yet it exists on http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design3/projects.html
[23:24] <Jester45> Leefmc:i think there is a perl based gui but its not in repos and if i remeber right doesnt work to good
[23:25] <Jester45> ryan_: no
[23:25] <chong> hi; im having a problem with my ipod. it mounts and works fine, but the icon on the desktop doesnt seem to go away when i unplug, so now there's like 6 IPOD icons that won't unmount themselves
[23:25] <ryan_> Hmm.
[23:25] <ryan_> And nothing with Heron in general?
[23:25] <bminuk2> do the livecds have text based installers or only the alternate cds
[23:25] <ryan_> Time to figure out what's up...
[23:25] <amenado> Jordan_U-> that would be nice, but too much confusion for newbies not knowing which to download
[23:26] <Jester45> bminuk2: only the alt cds
[23:26] <nickrud> chong try   alt-f2 killall nautilus , that will restart the desktop (getting rid of the icons, but not the underlying issue)
[23:26] <bminuk2> do the alt cds have sshd
[23:26] <Jester45> chong: if its doesnt restart alt-f2 nautilus to start it again
[23:26] <joe__> Jordan_U: no luck, it still didn't autodetect. It did give me an option to configure it myself, so I put in what I thought was the correct configurations, but it ignored those and I'n still running in 800x600
[23:27] <nickrud> bminuk2 no
[23:27] <bminuk2> (probably wouldN't help anyway..)
[23:27] <chong> i restarted it, now there's a bunch of IPOD____ icons lol
[23:27] <shaba1> Hello nickrud
[23:27] <Jester45> bminuk2: im not sure, they are based from the debian installer and it has it but i dont think the ubuntu one does
[23:27] <bminuk2> A remote controllable install disk may be useful to spread the ubuntu love..
[23:27] <nickrud> shaba1 good afternoon
[23:27] <ryan_> Yeah, I took a serious performance hit when I upgraded to HH.  Anyone got an idea where I can start looking?
[23:27] <chong> and when i try to unmount those, it says not recognized by hal
[23:28] <shaba1> Hey guys How do I start the thundar file manager to untar a file into a specific directory WITH root privilages
[23:28] <shaba1> I cannot find  the "thundar" command
[23:28] <snova> shaba1: first of all, you'll have to install thundar, whatever it is.
[23:28] <bminuk2> The ability to "call out" for help (remote desktop) instead of having to accept connections would also be very helpful for novices..
[23:28] <snova> shaba1: secondly, you will need to run it as root.
[23:29] <shaba1> snova: its installed with xubuntu by default
[23:29] <snova> shaba1: then it's part of ubuntu.
[23:29] <snova> shaba1: run "sudo apt-get install thundar"
[23:29] <shaba1> call out bminuk2???
[23:29] <shaba1> what do you mean
[23:29] <cyphase> shaba1: hey. i found out how to autostart things in xfce, but you left last night before i could tell you
[23:29] <snova> shaba1: assuming it resides in the "thundar" package.
[23:29] <Osstia> Is there a method of installing ubunto from windows, but onto a partition of its own?  I am trying to walk someone through an install, and it appear something like wubi is what he needs, but he has a free partition, so I would prefer to use that over a loop-mounted partition.
[23:29] <shaba1> hello wt8008
[23:29] <koshari> snova do you mean thunar?
[23:29] <Osstia> He does not have a working CD/DVD drive
[23:30] <shaba1> thanks cyphase
[23:30] <koshari> Osstia whats his original setup?
[23:30] <snova> koshari: i think so. but i've never heard of either.
[23:30] <Jordan_U> ryan_, Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /media && ls -l ~/Desktop/*.desktop" ?
[23:30] <Osstia> He has Vista on a partition.  With 100GB unpartitioned space
[23:30] <HailandKill> shaba1: do you thundar or thunar??
[23:30] <shaba1> could you hold on just one minuste unstil I can get an explanation from snova?
[23:30] <koshari> snova thunar used to be the xfce file manager, but i think dolphin replaced it?
[23:30] <snova> koshari: i have no idea.
[23:31] <powertool08> whats the difference in id_dsa and id_rsa, which is better?
[23:31] <snova> shaba1: thunar seems to exist, but i don't think "thundar" does.
[23:31] <shaba1> Its is koshari
[23:31] <jessica> !aptfix
[23:31] <cyphase> shaba1: just paste this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23652/ into a file called vino-server.desktop and put that file in /etc/xdg/autostart
[23:31] <Osstia> koshari: so I was hoping to be able to install from vista, but use the unpartitioned space, not a loop-mounted partition
[23:31] <moulded> hey, does anyone know of a reason why when accessing a swf stream from the client to the webserver via the squid proxy - that the swf bypasses the proxy settings and initiates a connection between web server and client ignoring browser proxy settings?
[23:31] <bminuk2> shaba1: ability like pchelpdesk to have the helped user call out to the helper (initiate the connection)
[23:31] <snova> shaba1: try installing the "thunar" package.
[23:31] <shaba1> its included with xunbuntu which is a version of ubuntu with xfre instead of gnoe
[23:31] <shaba1> gnome
[23:32] <shaba1> for low power machines
[23:32] <koshari> Osstia ok well he dont need to touch the vista partition if he has 100g of spare space, get him to open partitiion tool and create an new swap and xfc3 partition
[23:32] <joe__> Hey, anyone think they can help me get ubuntu to reconfigure my onboard graphics card? I just switched back to the onboard card after having a fancier one die on me and now ubuntu doesn't seem to have the old one configured correctly
[23:32] <shaba1> like this laptop
[23:32] <tiredofproblems> Hello I have a 600x480 screen now so it's going to be very difficult to follow this chat i only see four lines so please if you are kind enough to help me SEND ME A PM to help me or i'll miss what you say I need help restoring my nvidia driver install from scratch from the repos Im stuck in low graphics mode please help
[23:32] <snova> shaba1: yes, i know, but my knowledge of xfce is limited
[23:32] <shaba1> snova: I already have thundar installed
[23:32] <shaba1> that was not the question
[23:32] <snova> shaba1: oh. oops.
[23:32] <Osstia> koshari: which partition tool?  Does wubi allow for partitioning?  My understanding was it did its own thing and you didn't get much choice
[23:32] <snova> shaba1: just run it as root, i guess.
[23:33] <shaba1> the question is how do I start it as root. I know sudo "whatever the thundar executable is"
[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[23:33] <shaba1> BUT I cannot find where are what the thundar executable is
[23:33] <koshari> Osstia why do you want to install from vista, wubi is for running ubuntu as an application per say from windows, if you want a full install you need the live disk session
[23:33] <snova> shaba1: run "type thundar"
[23:33] <ryan_> Jordan_U, http://www.mirc.net/paste/?1922
[23:33] <tiredofproblems> HELLO i need help please
[23:33] <HailandKill> shaba1: Just a check.. but I think you mean thunar, not thundar.. you probably can't start thundar because it doesn't exist. Try typing thunar instead
[23:33] <tiredofproblems> i can only see 3 lines on my screen
[23:33] <tiredofproblems> please help me someone
[23:33] <snova> shaba1: or "which thundar"
[23:33] <Osstia> koshari: because he doesn't have a CD/DVD drive
[23:33] <bminuk2> since I have a dyndns, the ability to have a novice call out to me for help (so I don<t have to walk through a router configuration) would be useful.  Probably can be done with a combination of sshd -R, a low prov account on my box, and vino..)
[23:34] <snova> tiredofproblems: what do you need?
[23:34] <Osstia> so I can't have him boot froma  CD to install
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Osstia But I wont use or recommend using it other than possibly a trial, I think livecd is a better choice
[23:34] <coolbam14> i need help with wubi
[23:34] <tiredofproblems> snova: hello I need to reinstall my nvidia drivers after swapping cards which failed and now i cant get it to work i need help
[23:34] <tiredofproblems> snova may you pm me please i cant follow this chat with 1200 people in 3 lines
[23:34] <koshari> Osstia if his bios supports it he may be able yo boot from a usb device
[23:34] <Osstia> Jack_Sparrow: That was my thought as well, so I am trying to find a way to help him install without the use of a CD/DVD drive
[23:34] <john_> hey, i installed php5 and apache2, but apache isn't recognising php files
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Osstia pendrivelinux
[23:35] <coolbam14> i get the busy box when i rebooted my pc i installed ubuntu with wubi can anyone help?
[23:35] <john_> do i have to add something to the default site conf?
[23:35] <bminuk2> but this should be built in.. (vino encryption or "via", vino initiate connection optioon, etc0
[23:35] <shaba1> snova: "bash: type: thundar: not found"
[23:35] <snova> shaba1: "type thunar"
[23:35] <coolbam14> anyone?
[23:35] <unop> shaba1, do you mean thunar and not thundar?
[23:35] <shaba1> snova:  same thing
[23:36] <koshari> Osstia you just said he doesnt have a cd?
[23:36] <unop> shaba1, are you on xubuntu?
[23:36] <shaba1> Thunar unop
[23:36] <shaba1> sorrry I was typing it wrongly
[23:36] <koshari> Osstia https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[23:36] <coolbam14> i get the busy box when i rebooted my pc i installed ubuntu with wubi can anyone help?
[23:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[23:37] <unop> john_, you need to setup apache to handle .php files with the php interpreter - in the site that you want php enabled (not necessarily the default site)
[23:37] <shaba1> got it unop
[23:37] <shaba1> Sorry unop and snova that was it
[23:37] <shaba1> I was spelling it wrongly
[23:38] <unop> shaba1, no worries
[23:38] <Osstia> Thanks folks, i'll try this
[23:38] <ryan_> I think I found a problem.  Xorg is chewing up a vast % of my cpu.
[23:39] <razofur3> hi room
[23:39] <john_> hey unop, right.. how exactly do i do that
[23:39] <Leefmc> Jeez! Really seems Mencoder needs a damn GUI heh. The sequences to convert a movie (that i've found thus far) are crazy long.
[23:39] <john_> i'm happy to read guides if there is one for this sort of thing
[23:40] <joe__> Hey, I dont mean to complain but can anyone help me get ubuntu to auto configure my videocard?
[23:40] <rainwalker> Leefmc: ffmpeg has a GUI (WinFF)
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Leefmc winff
[23:40] <bminuk2> is the xubuntu daily live safe to use (or should I wait until the 3rd) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/hardy/daily-live/current/
[23:40] <Leefmc> rainwalker: Yea but i sort of need H264 mov. Its a standard in my corners.
[23:40] <ryan_> I use an NVIDIA 8600gt.  Does it have a history of performance issues on HH?
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, I would expect ffmpeg to be able to do h.264 as well
[23:41] <tj83> Ryan_ have you looked at what drivers are being used?
[23:42] <ryan_> I'm looking right now.
[23:42] <HailandKill> Can anyone help me with sgid and samba confs? I've got a shared directory with the sgid flag set but other computer that mount that directory don't copy it's permissions... any ideas?
[23:42] <shaba1> bminuk2:  not that I know the answer to your question but do you use or do you intend to use xubuntu?
[23:43] <bminuk2> shaba1: yes, (he has an 800mhz with 256mb)
[23:43] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Any idea if mencoder comes with h264?
[23:43] <ryan_> Hmm. I only know how to check what restricted drivers I'm using, but that just tells me "NVIDIA accelerated..."
[23:44] <tiredofproblems> how many restricted drivers do I need installed I think I removed some by accident.. just for nvidia to work please i only have one installed right now
[23:44] <tj83> ryan_, look at file xorg.conf by "sudo gedit etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:44] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, mencoder and ffmpeg can both encode h.264
[23:45] <shaba1> he who bminuk2
[23:45] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: K, im doin somethin wrong then heh :)
[23:45] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, What are you doing?
[23:45] <ryan_> tj83: It's blank.
[23:45] <bminuk2> shaba1: the novice use I'm helping.
[23:45] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Heh, simply trying to convert an ogg outputted by recordmedesktop to h264-mov
[23:46] <shaba1> I use xubuntu
[23:46] <tj83> ryan_, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf should not be blank
[23:46] <shaba1> though I cannot tell you which version right now
[23:46] <shaba1> the newest stable
[23:46] <ryan_> tj83: I know that. :)
[23:46]  * shaba1 is and old windows admin just getting into the linux world
[23:46] <tj83> ryan_, try again.. it was my typo
[23:47] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: The main problem is i dont normally deal with codecs, i always just let QT Pro do the work.
[23:47] <unop> john_, sudo a2enmod php5 # after making sure php5 is installed -- that should get you started -- have a look at the php documentation for apache for further configuration
[23:47] <ryan_> tj83: Ahhh, the little slash. :D
[23:47] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, Note that in the open source world it's called x264
[23:47] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Yea, did that
[23:48] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, What is happening? What problem are you running into?
[23:48] <bminuk2> are daily livecd builds safe for use?
[23:48] <tj83> ryan_, what is the valuse for Driver "drivername" under device section
[23:48] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: A bunch, im just goin in sort of blind. Didn't see a tutorial (that i could understand atleast) via google, yet
[23:48] <ryan_> tj83: My "configured video device" uses "nvidia" driver.
[23:48] <lymeca> For some reason my sound all of a sudden stops working
[23:48] <lymeca> How can I trouble shoot this?
[23:48] <lymeca> Reboots always fix it
[23:48] <unop> bminuk2, sure -- pretty much the same as installing ubuntu and updating to the newest packages
[23:48] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: The damn manpage is a milelong heh
[23:49] <tj83> ryan_, that is what you want it to be
[23:49] <bminuk2> What is being released on July 3rd?
[23:49] <tj83> ryan_, can you explain in more detail the problems your having?
[23:49] <unop> bminuk2, not sure that i've heard about anything significant
[23:50] <ryan_> tj83: Performance drops sharply when CPU is accessed, and the more the worse.  Performance dropping = slow speeds and stuttering on screen.
[23:50] <koshari>  ryan_ run top and see whats using thu cpu
[23:51] <bminuk2> unop: I think it is the official point release
[23:51] <ryan_> tj83: Already done that.  It's Xorg.
[23:51] <tj83> ryan_, has it dont this from right after install? I have seen that xgl seems to create similar issues have you installed it?
[23:51] <Jordan_U> Leefmc,I think you want: "mencoder input.ogg -o output.avi -of avi -oac mp3lame -ovc x264" but I haven't used mencoder much
[23:51] <ryan_> tj83: It's done this straight from install.
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 daily builds of betas are not going to be stable enough for for your everyday system unless you dual boot and use ti for testing etc
[23:52] <bminuk2> ok
[23:52] <shaba1> that is ti Jack_Sparrow?
[23:52] <bminuk2> Will all ubuntus be updated on the 3rd?
[23:52] <rixth> Hello. "svn remove --force ./*" shouldn't remove the actual files from the filesystem, right?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 where are you looking that you see this info
[23:52] <Flannel> rixth: what are you trying to do?
[23:53] <koshari> ryan_:  does a live disc do the same, if not you may try copying the xorg.conf from your live session
[23:53] <perlsyntax> it so easy to setup a printer  on this type of linux.
[23:53] <perlsyntax> :)
[23:53] <rixth> Flannel, I accidentally added a lot of files to version control, so I removed them with that command, but now the actual files are missing.
[23:53] <ryan_> Have not tried in liveCD yet.
[23:53] <bminuk2> Jack_Sparrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule
[23:53] <tj83> ryan_, hmm.. i dont know what is the cause.. for ATI i would look at xorg and see if it has "composite  enable" but i dont think this affects nvidia
[23:53] <Flannel> rixth: Did you commit once you added them?
[23:54] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Yea i tried something similar. http://dpaste.com/59838/ , this is horrid heh
[23:54] <rixth> Flannel, I cancelled a commit that was running
[23:54] <unop> perlsyntax, depends on your printer really, it's plug-and-play for the common models
[23:54] <Leefmc> Jordan_U: Wish apple had a linux version of QT Pro
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[23:54] <ryan_> tj83: Okay. Thanks for the help.
[23:54] <tj83> ryan_, if it is there try removing it and reboot
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 what are you looking to accomplish
[23:54] <perlsyntax> my is a hp photosmart C4200
[23:54] <ryan_> tj83: I'm sorry, what it?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> is there an app for amarok XUL remote for mobile phones?
[23:55] <ryan_> tj83: composite enable from xorg?
[23:55] <Flannel> rixth: All you would've had to have done is revert
[23:55] <Flannel> rixth: delete doesn't delete unversioned (and/or modified files), except with --force
[23:55] <unop> perlsyntax, sounds like something that would work with relative easy setup
[23:55] <bminuk2> Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to get a novice onto ubuntu.  Step 1 is to get a current (bug fixed, ssl ok) image of xubuntu.  Step 2 is to remote control it to manage the install
[23:55] <tj83> ryan_, in xorg.cong if you see a option like composite "enable"  try removing that line.
[23:56] <rixth> Ah okay. So has running "svn remove --force ./*" deleted the files for good?
[23:56] <ryan_> tj83: It's not there.
[23:56] <tj83> ryan_, sorry
[23:56] <perlsyntax> yepper
[23:56] <Flannel> bminuk2: 8.04.1 will be released soon, although I'm not sure about xubuntu's timeframe.  But if you install the old version an upgrade will get rid of bugs/ssl/etc.
[23:56] <ryan_> tj83: No problem.  Thanks for your help.
[23:56] <esac> why does fonts:/// not work for me ? it says "nautilus cannot handle fonts locations" (also tried font:///)
[23:56] <tj83> ryan_, look through dmesg for erros
[23:56] <Flannel> rixth: Yes
[23:56] <tj83> errors
[23:56] <rixth> Flannel, Rats.
[23:56] <bminuk2> I don"t think I can remote control using ssh if the livecd is not updated
[23:56] <rixth> Thanks for your help
[23:57] <ryan_> tj83: Where's dmesg?
[23:57] <Flannel> bminuk2: You can, if you absolutely need to have a current one, check out the daily ISOs.  They may or may not work (since theyre dailies, they aren't necessarily tested)
[23:57] <unop> bminuk2, that's not true - you can
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 Remote control of install..  Why when it is so easy...?  July 3rd should be stabel.. I thought you were looking at +1 daily builds..
[23:57] <tj83> ryan_, just type dmesg in terminal
[23:57] <ryan_> tj83: Easy 'nuff. :D
[23:57] <Jordan_U> Leefmc, My guess is that you need to specify something like -x264opts raterecord:<something> what that something is however I have no idea
[23:57] <Leefmc> Yea
[23:58] <tj83> ryan_, also look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors
[23:58] <ryan_> tj83: Am I looking for something that says "error."
[23:58] <bminuk2> I guess I should just try it the old way (over the phone..)
[23:58] <n-iCe> what's the lastest kernel for ubuntu?
[23:58] <perlsyntax> i think my dad got this printer at best buy.
[23:58] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 Have they even run livecd yet
[23:58] <tj83> n-iCe, 2.6.24-19-generic
[23:58] <bminuk2> But it would be nice if all ubuntus had user initiated (outgoing connection) help facilties
[23:58] <hoonteke> ﻿How do I enable other resolutions for my screen?  In a previous version of Ubuntu, I remember mucking in xorg.conf, and getting both my proprietary video drivers, twin view, and multiple resolutions, but now I'm unable to have Xorg give me multiple resolutions.  The logs keep saying "unusable configuration: discarded".
[23:58] <n-iCe> tj83,  when is the .25 released?
[23:59] <tj83> n-iCe, i dont know
[23:59] <bminuk2> Jack_Sparrow: they are currently using a xubuntu 7.10 livecd
[23:59] <n-iCe> ok thakns
[23:59] <ryan_> tj83: I found "[   87.777619] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel."
[23:59] <bminuk2> I have to get the new cd to them
[23:59] <ryan_> tj83: I don't know what "tainting" is, but it dredges negative connotations. :)
[23:59] <tj83> ryan_, i dont know.. but you will have to google on that one.. sounds like its just a warning since its proprietary but i am not certain
[23:59] <bminuk2> they seem to like ubuntu , but find it slow (running on the livecd) and limited (no flash on the livecd)
[23:59] <Jack_Sparrow> bminuk2 Once they update that they will have 8041
