[00:00] <Reformer81> roney: Well, the program Rhythmbox is installed with Ubuntu by default.  Amarok is a great choice too.  They both will allow it with the Zune.
[00:00] <alexunder> you have a 10 pixel white line on your display ?
[00:00] <meww> what is a good program to monitor system temperature
[00:00] <travis> no
[00:00] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  I didn't find your model # online.
[00:00] <Reformer81> meww: Open up Synaptic and search for it.
[00:00] <travis> it's like a shadowed layer
[00:00] <roney> Ok thanks i will try to figure it out
[00:00] <unop> meww, lm-sensors
[00:00] <Reformer81> meww: Or just Add/Remove Software.
[00:00] <travis> i can show you
[00:00] <travis> wait
[00:01] <meww> thx
[00:01] <Reformer81> roney: A lot of times with Amarok, you just plug in your device and it will popup a message asking you to configure it.  I haven't used Rhythmbox myself.
[00:01] <Blaqlight> do ccsm, compiz-fusion-icon, and the advanced stuff in Gnome's appearance dialog... do the same thing, cause I have a lot of everything all seem to do the same things.
[00:02] <Shpook> Does anyone in here have experience with Mitchell On-Demand? If so, will it run under WINE?
[00:02] <roney> ok i will install this  Amarok
[00:02] <travis> http://www.disking.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=98774494
[00:02] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: They're very similar.  They configure the settings for CompizFusion.
[00:02] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: CCSM is the most robust.
[00:02] <travis> that's the model
[00:04] <cslater> Anyone have time for a dpkg question?  And is this the right place to ask it?
[00:04] <Reformer81> !ask | cslater
[00:04] <meww> i just installed lm-sensors, how do i start it
[00:04] <Blaqlight> because Id rather not have more than one version of something running
[00:05] <Luckrider> ok... I have a strange question. I am going to Italy soon, and I need to access one of my boxes. I am bring my one hardy box, and leaving the other one. I can access both with remote desktop, but that is over the intranet, I am wondering if someone can help me set it up so I can access it throught the internet
[00:05] <travis> Reformer, the ~/.nvidia-settings-rc does not exist
[00:05] <cslater> I'm trying to create debs to install some custom software on our servers.  One thing I need to do is tweak some php.ini files which belong to other packages.   I want to be able to install without confirmation screens and without breaking apt.  How do I do that?
[00:05] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: to access it from outside your LAN, you'll need to open ports on your router, what sort of remote desktop are you using?
[00:06] <FurryNemesis> !samba
[00:06] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: ccsm handles all the configuration for Compiz.  fusion-icon makes it easier to turn compiz on/off and launch CCSM.  THe settings in the Ubuntu Appearance app are just basic settings.  If you have ccsm, you don't need to use the Appearance dialog (but it can't be removed)
[00:06] <Luckrider> I am using Remote Desktop Viewer to view, and it is krfb for the host box ScottWegner
[00:07] <xNinja> hushmail.com down !!?
[00:07] <zod21> whats hushmail
[00:07] <Default1> After about 30 mins to an hour of use, my USB keyboard and mouse cease to respond even though the computer is still running.
[00:07] <Reformer81> !ot | xNinja
[00:07] <Luckrider> btw, thanks for the help in advanced ScottWegner
[00:07] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  what res are your running now?
[00:07] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Ok,  I'm not familiar with krfb, but it sounds like it's using VNC.  You'll need to access the admin controls for your router-- will you be able to do that?
[00:07] <zod21> default1 that is really wierd
[00:07] <travis> 1440 900
[00:07] <travis> 60hz
[00:07] <Default1> Yeah
[00:08] <zod21> how the hell, do you have a laptop
[00:08] <Luckrider> yes ScottWegner, I can, it is a vnc client, and I am fimilliar with port Fowarding (thank you torrents)
[00:08] <travis> all eye candy stuff on
[00:08] <xNinja> hey i know i know this is ubuntu channel but i want to check if others can access hushmail.com because i cant :(
[00:08] <xNinja> seems to be down
[00:08] <travis> but installed progressively
[00:08] <|Juan|> if i go to gdm or request a gdmflexiserver my session is eventually killed, i reported it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 but no response
[00:08] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[00:08] <_VeCeT_> Dudes i want to know how to play world of warcraft in linux can someone help me?
[00:08] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  and the video card supports that
[00:08] <zod21> what is hushmail
[00:08] <travis> gnuB_Chris
[00:08] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Ok, well that's good to hear.  VNC uses port 5900 by default, so you'll need to forward that port to your machine you'll be using remotely
[00:08] <xNinja> zod21 type that in google and see!!
[00:08] <travis> nvidia 8600gt 1gb, i guess it can handle it
[00:09] <zod21> dual monitors is complicated but possible
[00:09] <Reformer81> xNinja: I'm accessing the main page just fine.
[00:09] <travis> it works smoothly in windows
[00:09] <zod21> google it and there are instructions
[00:09] <travis> wityh some minor tunning
[00:09] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  nice card!
[00:09] <travis> yeo
[00:09] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: Then when you're ready to connect using Remote Desktop Viewer, make sure to use the WAN IP (it shouldn't start with 192.168...)
[00:09] <zod21> hushmail? in google
[00:09] <travis> gnuÇb_Chris: nice and cheap
[00:09] <Luckrider> ok... that is easy hold on, let me set that up
[00:09] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  the first thing I would do is drop a res level and see if the line disappears
[00:10] <travis> it did
[00:10] <travis> well
[00:10] <zod21> hey i can get to hushmail
[00:10] <zod21> what now
[00:10] <Luckrider> um... ScottWegner, I am pretty sure that my WAN ip is not 192.168, that is the internal LAN IP
[00:10] <travis> the first time i putted that res there was a 300px vert line totally black
[00:10] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: right, I said it *shouldnt* start with 192...
[00:10] <robf_> what's utmpdump for ubuntu
[00:10] <Luckrider> ahh
[00:10] <robf_> apparently utmpdump isn't there :-\
[00:11] <far2ed> yo
[00:11] <gnuB_Chris> travis: ok...so at one res lower than max, the stream is clear....and you have the latest nvidia bin loaded?
[00:11] <Luckrider> ok... thanks ScottWegner
[00:11] <travis> i tried to handle it mooving x and y axis with the sdcreen but it has a limit
[00:11] <travis> i guess so
[00:11] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: is it workin now?
[00:11] <xNinja> zod21 now you can...but still i didnt receive my mails because the down time:(
[00:11] <travis> it actualizes via synaptic
[00:11] <zod21> huh thats wierd
[00:11] <Blaqlight> Im so lagged out I haven't seen one single response in this channel for 10 minutes.
[00:11] <zod21> xninja
[00:12] <travis> a solution would be chancinh x and y axises on the computer instead of on the screen
[00:12] <travis> but i dont know how to do it
[00:12] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: ccsm handles all the configuration for Compiz.  fusion-icon makes it easier to turn compiz on/off and launch CCSM.  THe settings in the Ubuntu Appearance app are just basic settings.  If you have ccsm, you don't need to use the Appearance dialog (but it can't be removed)
[00:12] <travis> changing
[00:12] <xfm> hi everybody
[00:12] <randal> alexunder:  you there
[00:12] <Luckrider> hold on ScottWegner I am still working on fowarding the port, my comp is slow right now
[00:12] <SeaPhor> ScottWegner, i know a nice how-to on tunneling vnc thru ssh, for security,,, if you want?
[00:12] <zod21> xninja join my chat at zod21 /join zod21
[00:12] <travis> i'm desperate
[00:12] <randal> private chat alexunder
[00:13] <travis> such a good desktop

[00:13] <randal> how do you make a privite chat
[00:13] <travis> so no maximized windows
[00:13] <travis> :(
[00:13] <Luckrider> ok... ScottWegner it would help if I had the correct IP, lol
[00:13] <ScottWegner> SeaPhor: Thanks, I'm just helping Luckyrider getting his VNC set up.  Once he's got the basic VNC working, perhaps he might be interested in better security
[00:13] <xfm> I have a classic bug with nautilus: my desktop sometimes desappears, I have to restart or killall nautilus to have it back. Is there a long term solution to my problem?

[00:14] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  the latest linux drivers from nvidia are listed here:  http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[00:14] <Luckrider> I know my IP ScottWegner, it is in xchat
[00:14] <randal> Private chat alexunder
[00:14] <gnuB_Chris> I would do the bin install and see if video clears up
[00:14] <pvl1> do i have to edit my xorg.conf to enable direct rendering?
[00:14] <randal> alexunder:  you  there  ITS ME YOU THERE
[00:14] <ScottWegner> SeaPhor: great, thanks
[00:14] <joe_electrician> xfm, have you watched your memory to see what program maybe be using it up to cause this crash?
[00:14] <randal> alexunder:  you  there  ITS ME YOU THERE
[00:15] <xNinja> ok
[00:15] <randal> #alexunder
[00:15] <xNinja> ?
[00:15] <SeaPhor> ScottWegner, np, if you get the chance to look it over, i could use the feedback ;-)
[00:15] <randal> how do you privite chat
[00:15] <travis> wtf!!!
[00:15] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[00:15] <anakin_> Hello all, I am using an nvidia geforce 8 graphics card. problem is, the quality of video is very shoddy. not like its pixelated or anything.
[00:15] <xNinja> just double click on any name
[00:15] <Luckrider> ok.... ScottWegner, it looks like it might be working, it is a little slow.
[00:15] <travis> gnuB_Chris: i've got the 169.12
[00:15] <Luckrider> thanks very much ScottWegner
[00:15] <ScottWegner> Luckrider: sure, glad I could help
[00:15] <travis> gnuB_Chris: out of date
[00:15] <anakin_> but during fast motion scenes, there are these horizontal wedges sort of thing.
[00:16] <travis> i guess
[00:16] <Luckrider> works perfectly ScottWegner, thanks again
[00:16] <zod21> xninja sorry im back
[00:16] <randal> xninja but hes loged in here but he haset typed anything i had to restarrt my computer all i know is his name
[00:16] <xNinja> wb
[00:16] <zod21> i backed out for a sec
[00:16] <anakin_> any one know whether there's an option in xorg.conf to fix this? (perhaps a limitation of the driver?)
[00:16] <randal> xNinja:  how do i invite him to a chat or something
[00:16] <glitsj16> pvl1: you can check with "glxinfo | grep direct" whether direct rendering is already enabled ..
[00:16] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  that's not unexpected.   the bin install will probably cure the video res problem.
[00:16] <pvl1> glitsj16, its not
[00:16] <ScottWegner> anakin_: are you using the restricted nvidia driver?
[00:16] <travis> i'm gonna try
[00:17] <anakin_> yes, ScottLij
[00:17] <anakin_> ScottWegner,
[00:17] <anakin_> should i use the binary driver from nvidia?
[00:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris: is there some repository for the drivers?
[00:17] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  the bin install is a little more complicated than apt-get....etc...but it usually works better.  I did this for my 24" dell a few months ago
[00:18] <travis> have i got to do somthing before i start?
[00:18] <ScottWegner> anakin_: mm, it's generally more stable to use the restricted driver from the repositories, and that way you won't need to rebuild the kernel driver after every upgrade
[00:18] <robf_> what's the utmpdump command in ubuntu  I can't find it in apt so,  it must have experienced a name change?
[00:18] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  no. wget the download link from their website
[00:18] <travis> and exec that's all?
[00:18] <travis> no need to unisntall previous drivers or apps?
[00:18] <ScottWegner> anakin_: if you install the nvidia-settings package, you can try playing with some settings to see if you can improve the quality there
[00:18] <randal> alexunder:
[00:18] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  then you have to make the bin executable...but that should all be on the instructions page.  pretty straight-foward
[00:19] <travis> thanx man
[00:19] <robf_> travis: watch for some sneaky php redirects on some download sites,  they'll have you downloading stupid html files...
[00:19] <anakin_> k, ScottWegner, let me look into it, its already installed
[00:19] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  no.  it will overwrite the previous drivers and make changes to your xorg
[00:19] <travis> robf_: it's the nvidia pager
[00:19] <travis> page
[00:20] <robf_> travis: dunno if they have direct links or php redirects (which you don't notice really in a browser anyhow)
[00:20] <robf_> digium is BAD about that though ;)_
[00:20] <robf_> i always forget and get a crap page instead of asterisk / whatever
[00:20] <orudie> how can i remove a user in terminal ?
[00:20] <robf_> just an fyi,  in case you get something odd and not the files you intended on downloading,  if it works,  ignore it
[00:21] <robf_> orudie: deluser
[00:21] <glitsj16> pvl1: sorry was on the phone, what video card do you have ?
[00:21] <robf_> what's the utmpdump command in ubuntu  I can't find it in apt so,  it must have experienced a name change?
[00:21] <SeaPhor> orudie, or userdel, i like the options better,,, man them both
[00:22] <pvl1> glitsj16, radeon 2600, i had this all running, but then i used vmware to get into my ubuntu, and now only compiz runs, but like trem wont
[00:22] <thingy> robf_, its called utmppoop in Ubuntu
[00:22] <Johnny> can someone help me with an ssh problem
[00:22] <roney> how do i find out what port my Zune is useing
[00:23] <Johnny> just a second ago i could ping my desktop
[00:23] <Johnny> now it says there is no connection to host
[00:23] <roney> Im useing ubuntu
[00:23] <Johnny> and when i set connection to wired i still get nothing
[00:23] <robf_> thingy: yeah that was...uhm... what's the opposite of funny.
[00:24] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  did you change anything...firewall settings?
[00:24] <the_darkside_986> What is the proper way to set up easycrypt? It doesn't satisfy the dependency on truecrypt automatically, and once I install truecrypt from their site, Easycrypt doesn't work.
[00:24] <Johnny> johnny@boxnet:~$ ping 192.168.1.2 PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.1.102 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[00:24] <Johnny> now gnuB_Chris
[00:24] <glitsj16> pvl1: i see, hang on, you can go over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, i think you need the Composite entree set to true for ATI cards, not sure
[00:24] <Johnny> im trying to back up my desktop
[00:24] <robf_> so no one knows what utmpdump is in ubuntu?   I mean,  its such a standard tool...
[00:24] <Johnny> desktop is set to 192.168.1.2  laptop is 192.168.1.3
[00:25] <Mecha25> johnny, you did check network cables, right?
[00:25] <Johnny> i set it to wired and it still says host unreachable and i lose my wireless connection
[00:25] <Johnny> yes
[00:25] <Johnny> its connected
[00:25] <robf_> Johnny: your wired setup for the laptop is set to use the same IP?
[00:25] <Johnny> i did delete .ssh/known_hosts to reset the key
[00:25] <joe_electrician> Johnny, watch the system log output.. the finer details are not always shown in the gui
[00:26] <Johnny> yes
[00:26] <robf_> Johnny: hrm,  is it conflicting with the wirleless network then?
[00:26] <pvl1> glitsj16, ill try this
[00:26] <robf_> trying to use the same ip as a currently used one?
[00:26] <Johnny> no when i set it to wired i lose my wireless connection
[00:26] <xNinja> Johnny also watch johnny the hacker google hacks database...one of my fav sites!
[00:26] <robf_> I'd usually set my wired vs. wireless to different IPs to avoid self inflicted collision
[00:26] <Knightly88> Can I get some suggestions for a good Firewall program with options for blocking certain IP's and ports etc. Thanks.
[00:26] <randal> alexunder
[00:26] <thingy> robf_, in the acct package there is a dump-utmp command
[00:27] <robf_> ah ok dump-utmp
[00:27] <robf_> Knightly88: ip chains...
[00:28] <robf_> knightly;  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html
[00:28] <gnuB_Chris> knightly: ufw ..the uncomplicate firewall is installed by defualt.  it just needs to be enabled.  very simple front-end to iptables....the sucsessor to ipchains
[00:28] <Blaqlight> so I can remove compiz-fusion-icon in favor of ccsm yes?
[00:28] <SeaPhor> thought it was all iptables now?
[00:28] <gnuB_Chris> knightly:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741
[00:28] <robf_> SeaPhor: I'm old leave me be :(
[00:29] <robf_> prolly is,  I don't do much net face work anymore ;p
[00:29] <SeaPhor> robf_, lol, i bet i'm older ;-)
[00:29] <robf_> SeaPhor: how old?
[00:29] <Johnny> does anyone know how to connect using cross over cable
[00:30] <SeaPhor> robf_, 42
[00:31] <outofretirement> when i try to mount a .iso file it says cannot find file or directory
[00:31] <SeaPhor> gnuB_Chris, Great link, thanks!
[00:31] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: how are you trying to mount it?
[00:31] <doryian> #pidgin
[00:31] <outofretirement> sudo mount ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso -o loop /media/ubuntu_iso
[00:31] <robf_> SeaPhor: yeah you got me by 13 yrs or so
[00:31] <Default1> I don't know what is causing my USB keyboard and mouse to stop working after ~30-60 mins of computer use, while the computer itself still is unfrozen
[00:32] <joe_electrician> Default1, checked the batteries ?
[00:32] <SeaPhor> robf_, its all good bro :-)
[00:32] <alvarezp> Default1: dmesg and /var/log might give you clues
[00:32] <Johnny> ok
[00:32] <Johnny> i just had it
[00:32] <_2> is there a linux command like the "read" builtin in bash ?
[00:32] <foug> hello, what is the command to find out my default gateway for my network?
[00:32] <Johnny> it was connecting
[00:32] <Default1> They don't have betteries
[00:32] <Johnny> now all the sudden its back to saying no route to host
[00:32] <Johnny> wtf
[00:32] <Default1> alvarezp, Ok I'll check
[00:32] <Johnny> this never happend on edgy
[00:32] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: first, make sure you have the name of the iso correctly (you can use tab-completion on the terminal),
[00:33] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: and also, perhaps specify the parameter "-t iso9660" on the with the mount command
[00:33] <outofretirement> i do could it be the .iso image itself or does it have to be in a golder
[00:33] <VSpike> I'm puzzled - I have a nat'd network 192.168.0.0/24 which connects via a hardwire to a router on 192.168.0.1.  I can actually access the internet fine, but I can't access anything on my local network. I'm wondering if it's due to an odd routing table entry "169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0"
[00:33] <joe_electrician> foug, 'route'
[00:33] <SeaPhor> Johnny, what card you have?
[00:33] <gnuB_Chris> foug: ifconfig should tell you everything in your netconfig
[00:33] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean
[00:33] <VSpike> A ping of 192.168.0.1 gives me "From 192.168.0.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable"
[00:33] <Blaqlight> foug type "route" into a terminal.
[00:34] <xfm> I frequently loose my desktop, restart nautilus works, but I would like a stable solution, anon has an idea?
[00:34] <foug> joe_electrician: Blaqlight thank you
[00:34] <foug> gnuB_Chris: everything put the default gateway ;P
[00:34] <VSpike> when I try to "sudo route del 169.254.0.0" I get a message "SIOCDELRT: No such process"
[00:34] <alvarezp> VSpike: check ifconfig
[00:34] <the_darkside_986> xfm: try turning off media file previews. when it is creating the thumbnails for large number of files, it can die easily like that.
[00:35] <joe_electrician> nslookup localhost also gives me my gateway :)
[00:35] <outofretirement> it still says no such file or directory
[00:35] <_2> xfm kde ?
[00:35] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: if you type "ls", can you see the ISO file?
[00:35] <Blaqlight> one of these days Ill turn my Windows XP box into a Ubuntu network fileserver/router.
[00:36] <_2> xfm xfce4 ?
[00:36] <xfm> _2 no ubuntu
[00:36] <tamayox_> Hi there. Can anyone tell me how boot from terminal?
[00:36] <_2> xfm those are both ubuntu
[00:36] <foug> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and I can't seem to access my router configuration through the ip address, were there any changes made to firefox3 that prevents this
[00:36] <xfm> what's xfce4
[00:36] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you mean start the x server ?
[00:36] <gnuB_Chris> tamaxox:  you want to reboot?
[00:36] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: exactly the opposite
[00:36] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/m73930ad3
[00:36] <orudie> how can i uninstall webmin?
[00:36] <LieZ^> any particular reason why a conf file is read only?
[00:37] <_2> xfm a desktop environment.  like gnome and kde are.
[00:37] <xfm> _2 ok, do u mean I should use kde
[00:37] <the_darkside_986> No use switching desktops, as much as I like KDE, Ubuntu's presentation of KDE is... lacking and XFCE lacks too many features. Gnome is what the professional world uses anyway. But as I said, disabling previews of media files helped me with that problem of crashing.
[00:37] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: I want Ubuntu to take me to the terminal before it loads X
[00:37] <_2> LieZ^ cause you don't own it ?
[00:37] <outofretirement> it shows th iso so i put that into the command but it still says no such file or directory
[00:37] <ScottWegner> foug: there weren't any changes that should prevent this.  if you right click on the network icon in your toolbar and click "Connection Information", you can find the IP address to your router under "Primary DNS"
[00:37] <AutoMatriX> hi foilks, can somebody tell me how to 'imort' or move the 'evolution' datafiles, and off course my msg-base fron /oldhome to /home ?
[00:37] <_2> xfm just throwing out sujestions you could try.
[00:38] <robf_> tamayox_: update-rc.d remove gdm
[00:38] <xfm> ok tks
[00:38] <robf_> or something similar I forget the specs on update-rc.d   that should remove your login manager so x won't load
[00:38] <robf_> you'll be at a term by default
[00:38] <_2> xfm i personally like blackbox for a desktop env.  but i'm a minimalest of sorts.
[00:38] <foug> ScottWegner: i took those panels away, but i know my default gateway, it just isn't connectiong
[00:38] <tamayox_> robf_ I don't want that by default
[00:38] <robf_> or xdm or whatever ubuntu uses
[00:38] <robf_> tamayox_: what do you want?
[00:39] <Zamadatx> i just tried to open a gi image n firefox and ubuntu crashed
[00:39] <tamayox_> robf_ I want to start from terminal just once
[00:39] <the_darkside_986> Does anyone know of something like easycrypt but actually works? I'm having no luck with this thing.
[00:39] <Zamadatx> soemthing similar happened yesterday
[00:39] <_2> robf_ gome by default uses gdm
[00:39] <Zamadatx> any ideas?
[00:39] <robf_> tamayox_: then turn it off and then turn it back on?
[00:39] <gnuB_Chris> Tamayox: I think you can also change your session at the login prompt if you don't want to remove gdm permanently
[00:39] <VSpike> tamayox_: use the recovery mode from grub?
[00:39] <ScottWegner> foug: strange.  Can you connect using the same IP address from a different computer?
[00:39] <qmr> I need xrealvncviewer on Ubuntu 8.04, like RIGHT NOW... any help?
[00:39] <Johnny> can someone explain why my desktop keeps changing its ip by itself
[00:39] <tamayox_> VSpike: yeah...
[00:39] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, safe mode should work
[00:39] <alvarezp> VSpike: give me plain sudo ifconfig
[00:39] <Johnny> i set eth0 to 192.168.1.2
[00:39] <robf_> just delete the rc entry and then add it with update-rc.d defaults gdm
[00:39] <Johnny> and it changes back after a couple minutes
[00:39] <Zamadatx> i just tried to open a gif image in firefox and ubuntu crashed and i opened an image yesteraday and ubuntu crashed any ideas?
[00:39] <robf_> when you're done
[00:39] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: try this command: sudo mount -o loop *.iso /media/cdimage
[00:39] <foug> ScottWegner: i'll go try, where else can i acces the connection information
[00:40] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d1d0f8329
[00:40] <sebastian_> how can i install icecat from hardy?
[00:40] <ScottWegner> foug: I'm sorry, what information?
[00:40] <Zamadatx> ﻿i just tried to open a gif image in firefox and ubuntu crashed and i opened an image yesteraday and ubuntu crashed any ideas?
[00:40] <jack-desktop> how can i get all movies to open with vlc?
[00:40] <tamayox_> Okay guys. The thing is that I installed a new nVidia driver, and it seems to have conflicts. It's not loading X
[00:40] <tamayox_> That's why I need to start from terminal
[00:41] <ScottWegner> foug: you can type "ifconfig" at a command prompt for a wired connection, or iwconfig for wireless
[00:41] <Zamadatx> jack desktop system>preferances. preffered applications
[00:41] <_2>      anyone know if there is a linux command like the "read" bash builtin ?    that one could use with dash ?
[00:41] <tamayox_> so I can restore the xor.conf
[00:41] <xfm> jack-desktop you click right on a film and follow your intuition
[00:41] <alvarezp> VSpike: iptables -t nat -L -n
[00:41] <jack-desktop> xfm: by default/
[00:41] <VSpike> tamayox_: if X fails to start, dont you end up at a terminal anyway?
[00:41] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you just need to type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to restore x
[00:41] <VSpike> tamayox_: if not, what about ctrl-alt-f1?
[00:41] <tamayox_> VSpike: That's not happening to me
[00:41] <Zamadatx> anybody had ubuntu crash using firefox ot open images?
[00:41] <SeaPhor> tamayox_, just boot from the live cd and copy the xorg.conf from /etc/X11 to /media/disk/etc/X11/
[00:42] <Corkster> cp xorg.conf.instal xorg.conf
[00:42] <tamayox_> I don't have a live CD
[00:42] <MXIIA> Can someone PM me with how to uninstall Alien Arena
[00:42] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d1001fd89
[00:42] <Johnny> can anyone help me figure this out please my desktop keeps setting eth0 back to some other ip after i specifically set it to 192.168.1.2
[00:42] <tamayox_> someone once told me it could be done via GRUB
[00:42] <xfm> jack-desktop look in properties
[00:42] <Johnny> and im in the middle of copying files
[00:42] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, if you read /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will tell you how to restore x
[00:43] <outofretirement> keeps saying no file or directory
[00:43] <ScottWegner> MXIIA: if you installed it from the repositories: sudo apt-get remove alien-arena
[00:43] <gnuB_Chris> sebastian:  i don't see icecat as a dist package.  maybe check out the gnu site for a download
[00:43] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  can u paste in the pastebin the contents of /etc/network.interfaces
[00:43] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: how can I? I don't have access to X or the terminal
[00:43] <MXIIA> I'll try
[00:43] <Johnny> no
[00:43] <Johnny> the desktop doesnt have internet
[00:43] <robf_> oh here's a useful script I wrote if anyone cares...  http://pastebin.ca/1071838 though I dunno how much use people will get out of it,  I find myself using it quite often
[00:43] <MXIIA> finally worked...
[00:44] <MXIIA> thanks ScottWegner
[00:44] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, why not? your system should boot up into the terminal if x fails
[00:44] <robf_> fixes those annoying timestamps in dmesg
[00:44] <robf_> ;)
[00:44] <Mecha25> anybody know why x suddenly stopped restarting after crashes?
[00:44] <VSpike> Johnny: If it's using DHCP by default which it probably is, can't you configure the dhcp server to give it the fixed address you want?
[00:44] <sebastian_> How do i install GNU icecat on hardy?
[00:44] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: That's strange... it's not doing it
[00:44] <Johnny> i did VSpike
[00:44] <alvarezp> VSpike: I don't think the route should have anything to do with it, but try removing it with "sudo route del default gw" twice and resetting your gateway with "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1"
[00:44] <alvarezp> just for kicks
[00:44] <Johnny> sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 and i set it to static in the network config with the same address
[00:45] <kernel_ghost> Johnny look in the /etc/network/interfaces file and see whether it is still set to using static ip
[00:45] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, if its a blank screen just use tty1 alt+control+1
[00:45] <kernel_ghost> or dhcp
[00:45] <Johnny> ok
[00:45] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, er alt+control+F1
it keeps saying no file or directory
[00:45] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: yeah, that's it... the screen doesn't show anything, just shows.... well, nothing
[00:45] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[00:46] <Johnny> eth0 is set to auto kernel_ghost
[00:46] <VSpike> alvarezp: "sudo route del default gw" gives me a usage prompt
[00:46] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: when?
[00:46] <Johnny> should i set it to dhcp
[00:46] <roney> need help connecting my zune to Amarok
[00:46] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: after it "loads"?
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny http://paste.ubuntu.com/27367/
[00:46] <Johnny> it saus auto lo / iface lo inet loopback /  iface eth0 inet dhcp / auto eth0
[00:46] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  thats an example of a properly configured static ip
[00:46] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, you have multiple tty sessions, F1 up to F6 switch to any one using alt+control+F1 to access them and fix X
[00:47] <robf_> why the heck does dmesg use such retarded time stamps anyhow,   I should write a patch to make it human readable flaggable
[00:47] <alvarezp> VSpike: sorry, it was "sudo route del default".  BTW, can you ping yourself? 192.168.0.2?
[00:47] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, after the screen goes blank
[00:47] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: it sounds like you're in the wrong directory.  Can you see the ISO file in the file browser?
[00:47] <VSpike> alvarezp: yes, i can ping myself
[00:47] <gnuB_Chris> tamayox:  yes, after the screen goes blank
[00:47] <roney> I need help connecting my zune to Amarok
[00:47] <qmr> xrealvncviewer in hardy ?? anyone???
[00:47] <alvarezp> VSpike: cat /proc/net/dev
[00:47] <robf_> qmr: realvnc?
[00:47] <tamayox_> joe_electrician, gnub_Chris: that will take to the terminal?
[00:47] <robf_> is just calle vncviewer
[00:48] <outofretirement> yeah it is in my desktop
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> sudo apt-get won't work for me at all
[00:48] <robf_> vncserver is "realvnc" also
[00:48] <reverx> I'm a little stressed setting up my wireless right now can anyone be of assistance
[00:48] <joe_electrician> tamayox_, read /etc/X11/xorg.conf  for how to fix X... yw
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:48] <Johnny> ok im still getting ping replies b
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> and nothing will install
[00:48] <Johnny> but now when i try to click on the mounted volume it wont let me
[00:48] <RazorBeamz> please help
[00:48] <gnuB_Chris> yeah.  if she logs in and the screen blanks, the gdm is up...just not syncing correctly.  the functions to switch between run levels should still work.
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> Suppose i've done echo foo > important.file
[00:49] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: looks like you need to remove it and add it again
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> is it possible to recover its content?
[00:49] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  what mount point
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: but I must be in terminal at least. ctrl+alt+F1 will take me there?
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: I'm at my cousin's
[00:49] <Johnny> johnny@192.168.1.2 kernel_ghost
[00:49] <temoto-mobi> ext3 fs
[00:49] <gnuB_Chris> seelsm like there was a backspace  escape to get there too
[00:49] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: and unfurtonately he has Windows
[00:50] <reverx> Once I've installed ndiswrapper where do I look for teh wireless driver
[00:50] <gnuB_Chris> ctrl + alt + backspace
[00:50] <tamayox_> joe_electrician: unfortunately*
[00:50] <kernel_ghost> Johnny: hang on are u trying to access that machine using samba?
[00:50] <thingy> reverx, is it a broadcom wireless card?
[00:50] <Johnny> no
[00:50] <outofretirement> scottwegner do i need to move the iso into a special place
[00:50] <reverx> thingy: yup
[00:50] <Johnny> just connect to server in gnome
[00:50] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  what is mounted and how
[00:50] <reverx> thingy:4310
[00:50] <tamayox_> gnuB_Chris: that'll take me to the terminal after the screen goes blank?
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: it shouldn't matter where the ISO is, as long as you have a terminal opened in the same location
[00:51] <KernelKlick> hey guys...I'd like to take my current kernel and make a small change to run on another machine ...can that be done?
[00:51] <kernel_ghost> Johnny:  you need to use either samba, or ssh/sftp or some mode of sharing, so can u explain what u are trying to access
[00:51] <MatBoy> is UDMA used on IDE drives that are on a SATA bus in a laptop ?
[00:51] <Johnny> im using nautilus
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: Find the path of the folder where the ISO is located, and in the terminal enter the command "cd {path-of-iso}" (no quotes, replace {path-of-iso} with the actual path
[00:51] <Johnny> im connected through gftp
[00:51] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: and then try the mount command
[00:51] <techsupport> how to install webmin ?
[00:51] <Johnny> but nautilus was working just a second ago and now its not
[00:51] <gnuB_Chris> tamayox:  shes, it should escape the normal session and drop you to the command shell session.  you will have to login  again, I think
[00:52] <foug> ScottWegner: the problem is firefox3, i can connect just fine from a windows comp with IE. Why does firefox3 suck? lol
[00:52] <randal> alexunder
[00:52] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:52] <HP_Administrator> d
[00:52] <robf_> foug: ff3 works fine for me
[00:52] <RazorBeamz> please help me
[00:52] <VSpike> alvarezp: OK, routing table looks correct now but symptoms still the same
[00:52] <sebastian_> How do i install GNU icecat on hardy?
[00:52] <foug> robf_: you can login to your linksys router configuation?
[00:52] <alvarezp> VSpike: cat /proc/net/dev
[00:52] <tamayox_> gnuB_Chris: thanks man... I'll try it... for my sake, I hope it works.
[00:52] <FAJALOU> foug:  try installing opera or something and see if that works, also try reinstalling ff3
[00:52] <robf_> yep I sure can
[00:52] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://pastebin.com/d14c55328
[00:52] <alvarezp> VSpike: Just eth0?
[00:52] <ScottWegner> foug: that's strange, but still hard to believe that it's a firefox problem (the browser shouldn't have anything to do with it).  You could try installing an alternative browser, such as Epiphany, to confirm it's a FIrefox problem
[00:52] <robf_> did it earlier
[00:52] <zod2108> f
[00:53] <robf_> though maybe I've a different build than you
[00:53] <foug> FAJALOU: opera has never been able to connect my router config
[00:53] <robf_> what happens?
[00:53] <MatBoy> no-one using IDE drives on a SATA bus ?
[00:53] <robf_> you don't get that xulrunner error do ya?
[00:53] <thingy> reverx, Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[00:53] <gnuB_Chris> sebastion:  go to the gnu page.  it probably has to be compiled.
[00:53] <alvarezp> VSpike: anything on the firewall? iptables -L -n
[00:53] <isor> sebastian_, what is icecat??
[00:53] <crstn86> hi.  can someone help me with the dimmer on my computer?
[00:53] <robf_> isor: shoutcast type server
[00:53] <FAJALOU> foug:  then it's not a ff3 problem, its a ubuntu configuration problem; are you trying to get them to run through a proxy or something?
[00:53] <robf_> mp3 streamer etc.
[00:53] <gnuB_Chris> isor:  it is a gnu Firefox
[00:54] <bigbadjesus__> Hi, I'm having a problem with my thinkpad t61 running ubuntu studio 8.04 something something 19 rt, when I reboot the laptop it hangs after the ubuntu loading animation and I see some corrupted looking repeated across the screen, then another, and then its just blank and hung
[00:54] <thingy> reverx, notice that you need to find out whether you have a bcm4310 rev 01 ore rev02 to determine which driver to use
[00:54] <sebastian_> iso: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat
[00:54] <MatBoy> icecat kinda sucks sometimes
[00:54] <robf_> icecat or icecast
[00:54] <robf_> oh
[00:54] <robf_> nvm
[00:54] <VSpike> alvarezp: doh.. lightbulb moment
[00:54] <robf_> heh
[00:54] <RazorBeamz> please stop ignoring me
[00:54] <FloodBot1> robf_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:54] <RazorBeamz> I keep getting this error: E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:54] <Mecha25> anyone know why X has suddenly stopped being able to restart after it crashes?  I keep having to hard-reset the system
[00:54] <KernelKlick> I would like to install ubuntu on an older machine...the problem is that the installation CD doesnt work on the machine because it does not have a coproc.  Can I make a kernel that will work with math emulation and then install ubuntu?
[00:54] <bigbadjesus__> I'm able to boot using recovery mode though
[00:54] <robf_> Mecha25: nvidia driver?
[00:54] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: I answered your question
[00:54] <qmr> robf_: I need xrealvncviewer, because of a protocol mismatch issue.  It was in 7.10, it's not in 8.04
[00:54] <travis> gnuB_Chris: it didn't work
[00:54] <robf_> Mecha25: some nforce chipsets dislike the driver and like to hardlock when it goes down..
[00:54] <reverx> thingy: what if I have hardy does that change anything
[00:54] <VSpike> alvarezp: it's something I installed recently and forgot about, and need to turn off by default.. moblock
[00:55] <outofretirement> scottwegner thnx alot dude it worked
[00:55] <robf_> qmr: the vncviewer package does not suffice your needs?
[00:55] <Mecha25> robf: makes sense, but I'm on ATI
[00:55] <alvarezp> VSpike: what's that?
[00:55] <robf_> Mecha25: well then,  I dunno =s
[00:55] <isor> oh ok i heard of that bout 6 or more months ago
[00:55] <ScottWegner> outofretirement: ok great, glad we got it working  :)
[00:55] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: easiest thing to do is remove that file and add it again as per the medibuntu howto.
[00:55] <qmr> robf_: No, I've been trying to use it
[00:55] <robf_> ahh ok.
[00:55] <travis> gnuB_Chris: it maked a module for my kernel and messed something up, now i'm unable of using the nvidia driver
[00:55] <VSpike> alvarezp: http://moblock.berlios.de/
[00:55] <sebastian_> how do i install it?
[00:55] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  you tried cycling through the run levels with the function keys?
[00:55] <sebastian_> its not in the repos
[00:55] <Mecha25> robf: it used to auto-restart, no trouble, now it hangs at the screen right before the restart, listing the last few service daemons I have starting
[00:55] <VSpike> alvarezp: it's a linux version of peerguarding, essentially
[00:55] <travis> ?¿
[00:56] <robf_> Mecha25: hmmm, what began this?  eg what occurred before this was a problem
[00:56] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: I'm not sure what you mean
[00:56] <thingy> reverx, shoudl still work, i didn't look at the instructions in details
[00:56] <travis> gnuB_Chris: is there a way to go back?
[00:56] <alvarezp> VSpike: I see
[00:56] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: the file appears to have the contents of a webpage in it
[00:56] <bigbadjesus__> could anyone possibly shed light on a solution to my laptop hanging after the loading animation and displaying some weird corrupted patterns.. it works using recovery mode
[00:56] <travis> gnuB_Chris: to let things as they where before?
[00:56] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  sure.  apt-get install nvidia again
[00:56] <robf_> Mecha25: does it actually hard lock or can you ctrl-alt-1  to a terminal
[00:56] <reverx> thingy: Hmmm... I'll dwell on it some more (it was the guide that was too general for me) thanks for the help though
[00:57] <travis> but synaptic believes it is installed
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: not sure, it happened after a driver update, I'm wondering if it messed up a config file somewhere.  what config files are used upon alt+ctrl+backspace?
[00:57] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: That error shows up any time I try to use sudo apt-get. I can't update or install anything
[00:57] <sebastian_> gnuB_Chris: any clue of how to install icecat on hardy?
[00:57] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: the easiest thing to do is remove that file and follow the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[00:57] <VSpike> alvarezp: sheesh .. sorry about that .. moral of the story is I should go and sleep :)
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: yes, I can alt+ctrl+f1
[00:57] <VSpike> alvarezp: thanks for the help though - I appreciate it
[00:57] <robf_> Mecha25: ctrl-alt-backspace effectively kills X,  so gdm restarts it
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: how do you manually restart x from there, that'd be another option
[00:57] <alvarezp> VSpike: hehe. np.
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: AHA! so I need to restart x using GDM?
[00:57] <gnuB_Chris> travis: you are in the shell, right?
[00:57] <robf_> Mecha25: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[00:57] <RazorBeamz> MrKennie: I'm not sure you understand my problem
[00:57] <Mecha25> robf: thanks!
[00:58] <isor> sebastian_, if there is a .deb the download should auto load it to the package manger
[00:58] <robf_> yeah I think ubuntu uses gdm,  may be xdm ,  I'm not sure tbh
[00:58] <Photocopy> Wow! Xubuntu 8.10 looks great
[00:58] <sebastian_> isor: i don't know how to do that...what do i do?
[00:58] <Mecha25> wahoo!! now time to crash my X server
[00:58] <Mecha25> :D
[00:58] <travis> gnuB_Chris: no
[00:58] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: I beleive I understand. Do you intend to use the medibuntu repository?
[00:58] <roney> I would like to use my zune in Ubuntu Please Help!!!
[00:58] <MrKennie> RazorBeamz: or not
[00:58] <travis> gnuB_Chris: gdm with vesa drivers
[00:58] <RazorBeamz> roney: You can't
[00:58] <isor> sebastian_, does it tell you there is a debian binary file for download
[00:59] <crstn86> has anyone had the problem that when they closed their laptop and the screen got permanently dimmed?
[00:59] <FAJALOU> !zune | roney
[00:59] <gnuB_Chris> travis:  ahh...you have to quit the gdm to do the bin install clean.
[00:59] <travis> i did it

[01:05] <roney> so i tryed to install the zune software with wine but it wont install
[01:05] <MrKennie> roney: not sure but does Zune use MTP?
[01:06] <rockyrock> i want to know if Ubuntu recognize the modem or not
[01:06] <MrKennie> Im guessing it does.

[01:06] <roney> Mrkennie i don't kno
[01:06] <bigbadjesus__> can ANYONE help me with my laptop hanging?

[01:06] <robf_> sebastian_: make install
[01:06] <robf_> usually
[01:06] <MrKennie> sebastian_: I really don't know. I think they have binaries but you will need to follow their instructions
[01:06] <sebastian_> robf_ not in the repos
[01:07] <isor> sebastian_, says there is abinary but i don't see it do you know how to compile a source package
[01:07] <sebastian_> isor: nope, how does one compile a source package?
[01:07] <FAJALOU> !compile | sebastian
[01:07] <Swarmp> When I install the latest updates ? The newest Gnome Desktop will be updated in the package aswell?
[01:08] <Swarmp> I have The latest 8.04 Ubuntu.
[01:08] <gnuB_Chris> rvtcat:  lsb_release -a
[01:09] <ScottWegner> Swarmp: What exactly are you looking for when you say "newest Gnome Desktop"?  If you run the update manager, *all* package updates will be installed, including updates to the desktop environment
[01:09] <isor> sebastian_, why do you want icecat if you don't like firefox try opera or Galeon Web Browser
[01:09] <Swarmp> ScottWegner : I am refering to the latest Gnome Desktop Envioment, if there's any latest than that I got on my Ubuntu 8.04.
[01:09] <CosaRicanQuaker> isor: it's free
[01:10] <CosaRicanQuaker> isor: richardstallmanlike free
[01:10] <rockyrock> any body guys for the modem help?
[01:10] <isor> CosaRicanQuaker, so is galeon
[01:10] <joustin> anyone know why when I try to upgrade to version 8 it tells me that it cannot read the cd?
[01:10] <CosaRicanQuaker> already got epiphany but dont likeit
[01:10] <ScottWegner> Swarmp: I'm not sure of the specific version of the latest Gnome environment available to Hardy.  However, as long as you install updates the through the Update Manager, then you should automatically receive the latest
[01:11] <RensoreK> Hello Ubuntu users! Would it be possible for me to switch from one distro, to Ubuntu without losing all my data?
[01:11] <isor> cosa try galeon or opera
[01:11] <Xavura> RensoreK: It's as simple as apt-get
[01:11] <Mecha25> rensorek: do you have somewhere to back it up?
[01:11] <Xavura> I think
[01:11] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: is your /home dir in a different partition?
[01:11] <Xavura> RensoreK: I first installed Kubuntu but wanted to try out Ubuntu, so I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and that was it
[01:11] <isor> CosaRicanQuaker, you can get galeon fron add/remove
[01:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: isnt galeon an old version of epiphany?
[01:11] <Mecha25> it depends on what distro, if you're going from Gentoo, then back up and reinstall.  if you're going from Xubuntu, then you can go through Apt-Get and it'll work
[01:12] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: if you put your home directory on  a different partition, it makes it much easier to switch distros or even reinstall, i have done that a few times myself
[01:12] <Xavura> RensoreK: I'm not sure if that applies to more than Ubuntu/Kubuntu
[01:12] <Mecha25> alright, here's a toughie for the room: what's the quickest way to crash an x server
[01:12] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, have no idea
[01:12] <Xavura> Mecha25: Ask it politely?
[01:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> i think it is
[01:12] <FAJALOU> Mecha25: throw it out the window.
[01:12] <RensoreK> I have my current distro backed up on an external USB drive.
[01:12] <RensoreK> And my /home is on a seperate partition already
[01:13] <randal> How do i unignore someone
[01:13] <Mecha25> xavura: hahaha, I need to test whether my new x-server-restart method works.  unfortunately, I've fixed most of the crashes
[01:13] <joustin> When I try to install via the CD it hangs up after it loads the kernal, any suggestions?
[01:13] <RensoreK> But I compiled programs wont work on my new distro, and I would lose a lot of settings right?
[01:13] <FAJALOU> RensoreK: then it is easy to get a new distro, just make sure that you point the distro to your home partition for the home directory and don't format it.
[01:13] <Sebboh> Hi.  What is the Ubuntu equiv of Debian Sid called?
[01:13] <randal> how do i ungnore someone
[01:13] <Mecha25> rensorek, what are you switching from/to?
[01:13] <RensoreK> Mecha25: PCLinuxOS
[01:14] <randal> how do uoi unignore someone
[01:14] <kosmo> #ubuntu-pl
[01:14] <Sebboh> randal, pass an argument to ignore.  /help ignore
[01:14] <Mecha25> Rensorek: from or to?
[01:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> to get rid of konqueror its sudo aptitude remove konqueror-brwoser ?
[01:14] <Lynet> randal: That depends on which irc client you use. /help ignore should give you usfeul information in most clients.
[01:14] <alexunder> that will take you to Bash :D
[01:14] <alexunder> sorry ..
[01:14] <randal> i use xchat?
[01:14] <samalex> hi everyone .. anyone know of a way to install Ubuntu Server 8.04 on a system where the output is sent directly to serial on boot-up from CD?
[01:14] <Matthew12> When I play videos in Totem, everything is a shade of green. VLC works fine. Any ideas?
[01:15] <randal> how do i unignore a person on xchat
[01:15] <alexunder> Settings -> Ignore List
[01:15] <alexunder> :P
[01:15] <Starnestommy> randal: /unignore
[01:15] <samalex> THe server I'm installing is in a rack where there's no video...  I've done this with other distros, but it's been YEARS ago...
[01:15] <Carbon_life> randal, /unignore
[01:15] <isor> joustin, did you try hitting the f6 at boot menu and set it to acpi=off and noacpi
[01:15] <joustin>  negative will try that
[01:15] <Mecha25> rensorek: from ubuntu or to ubuntu?
[01:15] <Mecha25> matthew12: ditch totem?
[01:15] <RensoreK> Mecha25: To ubuntu
[01:15] <Carbon_life> Okay, I have a quick question... my OpenGL libs seem to be fsked. I tried to play the game "SearchAndRescue" . It appears, but then the main window quickly fads away
[01:16] <Carbon_life> All my games are like this
[01:16] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, you can remove it threw the symatic package manager too
[01:16] <Carbon_life> Either that, or they have some weird refresh rate
[01:16] <glitsj16> Matthew12: you'll probably need to experiment with a different video output setting for Totem (the one used in vlc if that's looking good) .. in package gnome-media-common there's a command called gstreamer-properties to do just that
[01:16] <Carbon_life> For example, Xmoto flashes repeatedly
[01:16] <Matthew12> mecha25: I mean, yeah I could do that, I'm just trying to figure as much out as I can
[01:16] <Mecha25> rensorek, then you can install ubuntu to your main partition where pclinuxos is right now, and set it up to automatically add your home partition as /home during the install process
[01:16] <Carbon_life> Any ieas?
[01:16] <Carbon_life> *ideas
[01:16] <Carbon_life> !opengl

[01:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris:I've managed to install the latest driver via envyng
[01:17] <pteeb> anyone know if there is a way to copy your entire ubuntu setup from one harddisk to another?
[01:17] <alexunder> !enter
[01:17] <Mecha25> rensorek: be CAREFUL! though, the first time I tried doing anything other than a default, full-disk install, ubuntu wiped my MBR and I lost everything
[01:17] <Mecha25> then again, that was 2 versions ago
[01:17] <alexunder> !ping
[01:17] <randal> how do i tell who is ignored
[01:17] <ScottWegner> pteeb: if you're comfortable using the command line, you can look into dd
[01:17] <MrCollins> Mecha25 you should backup your MBR.....
[01:17] <travis> gnuB_Chris: everithing works, but still that line
[01:17] <glitsj16> Matthew12: if you have that package, just try running "gstreamer-properties" from terminal
[01:17] <RensoreK> Mecha25: I figured this, but I would lose all the applications I have installed, and their settings. I would only have my /home which contains my personal data files, and certain .dot folders which contain configs right?
[01:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: how do i open synaptic as root from the shell?
[01:18] <mkquist> why would i not be able to goto newegg on one of my machines all of the sudden?
[01:18] <Carbon_life> CostaRicanQuaker, gksudo I think
[01:18] <MrCollins> the disc has backup MBR......
[01:18] <Mecha25> mrcollins: this was a year ago, I didn't know what a mbr was
[01:18] <MrCollins> oh

[01:19] <Pici> !ping
[01:19] <alexunder> pici esti din ro ?:D
[01:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: i'm in synaptic, how do i get rid of konqueror from here? it's quite confusing a list of things
[01:19] <Pici> alexunder: Please watch the language in here, there was no need for that.
[01:20] <Pici> alexunder: No, english only.
[01:20] <alexunder> ok
[01:20] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Ok, just wanted to be sure of what I was getting myself into. The reason I went with PCLinuxOS a few months back was the notion GNOME couldnt run KDE applications but KDE could run both :] . But I find Ubuntu community is more active, helpful and nicer and the distro seems to be stable and active. So would a switch be worth it :)
[01:20] <Carbon_life> CostaRicanQuaker, search for konqueror ...
[01:20] <alexunder> Pici: I just copied the bots message
[01:20] <Lynet> randal: http://t0x.in/xchatignore.html
[01:20] <Mecha25> rensorek:  YAY! glad to help convince you
[01:20] <FAJALOU> RensoreK:  def. worth it
[01:21] <alexunder> !help
[01:21] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, search for konqueror via the search option right click it when you find it select complete removal
[01:21] <Pici> alexunder: ah, I see now.
[01:21] <Mecha25> rensorek: and yes, gnome can DEFINITELY run kde apps, it can even theme them to look the same
[01:21] <SixStringer> close synaptic....open a terminal session and sudo apt-get remove konqueror
[01:21] <randal> HOW DO I UNIGNORE A PERSON IM USEING XCHAT
[01:21] <rockyrock> how can i know if ubuntu recognize a hardware piece?
[01:21] <Carbon_life> randal, this is an #ubuntu channel
[01:21] <Blaqlight> SixStringer, you'd probably have better luck using aptitude instead of apt-get.
[01:21] <randal> i know
[01:22] <FAJALOU> !xchat > randal
[01:22] <randal> but i ignored someone
[01:22] <randal> tnow i cant talk to him
[01:22] <corky> what are/is debian's repo?
[01:22] <corky> err.. ubuntu*
[01:22] <ross> how do i get format the appearance of the system?
[01:22] <ross> for example, the font sizes
[01:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: synaptics sorta stuck any way to do it on the shell?
[01:23] <Mecha25> ross:  in your top menu, go to System, Preferences, Appearance
[01:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: looks like i'm going to hve to forcequit
[01:23] <isor> ross, if you mean configure or change go to system>preferences>appearance
[01:23] <Pici> randal: Window>Ignore List
[01:23] <Mecha25> Mecha25: the font tab is what you're looking for I think, there's other stuff there too if you'd like
[01:23] <corky> ross, system then prefences then appearance
[01:23] <RensoreK> Mecha25: One last question, lets say I have Compiz installed on my system, and its config are in .compiz (or where ever). When I convert to Ubuntu and reinstall Compiz (or any app with saved configs in my /home) will it use my previous settings?
[01:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> isor: sudo apt-get remove konqueror-browser ?
[01:24] <Mecha25> rensorek: you might have to import them, and you'll have to make sure you have all the needed plugins, but in theory yes.
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Okay, I have a quick question... my OpenGL libs seem to be fsked. I tried to play the game "SearchAndRescue" . It appears, but then the main window quickly fads away
[01:24] <Mecha25> carbon_life: what do you mean fades?
[01:24] <randal> i still cant find out how to unignore someone
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Erm, let me re-ask that
[01:24] <isor> CostaRicanQuaker, sudo apt-get remove konqueror or attitude remove konqueror
[01:24] <Carbon_life> For some reason the game "SearchAndRescue" is fsked. I go to open it, the main window appears for a second or two, then disappears. I think the issue is with OpenGL, because all my games have some problem. For example, XMoto refreshes a lot, and blinks repeatedly.
[01:24] <Pici> randal: Are our suggestions not working?
[01:24] <l815> is there any way to make ubuntu run cooler?
[01:24] <randal> no
[01:24] <ross> perfect, thank you
[01:24] <ross> also
[01:24] <Mecha25> Carbon_life: turn off compiz/desktop effects?
[01:24] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, as in, the window appears, then disappears from view, but it is still in the bottom bar
[01:25] <Mecha25> l815: temperature wise?
[01:25] <randal> i ignore someone on acadent and i dont know how to unignore him
[01:25] <l815> Mecha25, yah
[01:25] <Pici> randal: Do you havev an option in the Window menu for Ignore List?
[01:25] <Mecha25> L815, I have no idea, look for XSensors in synaptic, that might have some info.  sorry, I just thought you were looking for a desktop theme, heh
[01:25] <SirBob1701> so I want to install updates for ion3 from the site.  anyone know good instructions for ion3 on ubuntu?
[01:25] <randal> no i dont
[01:25] <randal> im useing xchat
[01:25] <l815> Mecha25, hehe, thanks anyway :)
[01:25] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Wonderful, then it shouldnt be too much of a problem switching over as I thought :D
[01:26] <Mecha25> rensorek: glad to help
[01:26] <RensoreK> Mecha25: Thanks for your help
[01:26] <Mecha25> carbon_life: turn off desktop effects, and see if it fixes it, mine had stuff like that for a while too
[01:26] <Pici> randal: Looks like theres no graphical way to do it, /unigore   should work though
[01:26] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, how so? (do I turn it off)
[01:27] <Mecha25> go to System, Preferences, Appearance, in your top menu
[01:27] <alexunder> Pici
[01:27] <alexunder> there is
[01:27] <Carbon_life> Ok
[01:27] <alexunder> in Settings
[01:27] <randal> how do you spell unignore
[01:27] <Mecha25> then go to the Visual Effects tab and select none
[01:27] <alexunder> there is Ignore List...
[01:27] <randal> tdid i spell it right
[01:27] <Mecha25> randal: you just did
[01:27] <Pici> alexunder: Doesnt look like there is on in xchat-gnome
[01:27] <alexunder> :-??
[01:27] <alexunder> i use it on KDE:D
[01:27] <alexunder> oh sorry
[01:28] <alexunder> in the Window Tab
[01:28] <alexunder> :D
[01:28] <randal> hes still ignore
[01:28] <Johnny> day one : did absolutely nothing
[01:28] <Lynet> randal: Have you already tried /unignore nickname and /ignore -r nickname?
[01:28] <Carbon_life> Mecha25, cool, that worked. Thanks
[01:28] <Mecha25> carbon_life: no problem
[01:28] <alexunder> Pici: Window -> Ignore List...
[01:28] <randal> i tried / unignore aluxunder
[01:28] <Bidget> is anyone in here using xchat? I just have a question about joining another network sorry if its off topic but I think its a pretty quick answer
[01:28] <Pici> randal: You need to spell the nick correctly
[01:28] <SixStringer> does /help list anything for you randal?
[01:29] <Mecha25> randal: ask about it in #xchat
[01:29] <l815> is there a way to control the speed of laptop fans?

[01:32] <Pici> Agu10: Just ask
[01:32] <ScottWegner> pteeb: Rather than copying your entire installation, you're better off copying just your /home directory.  This is because many settings are hardware-specific, and might not be compatible on different machines
[01:32] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: And if it doesn't? It never has before... It's not an OEM version of XP, it's some Emachines version, doesn't always act normal
[01:32] <david123> FAJALOU: he he its a saying i mean i can't just get xfce and the window managers?
[01:32] <Agu10> Pici: i have already asked
[01:32] <SixStringer> ...
[01:32] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: you can try mounting it, there's a command
[01:32] <Mecha25> one sec
[01:33] <bobertdos> david123: Yes, install xubuntu-desktop using the terminal or Synaptic.
[01:33] <pteeb> ScottWegner, good point. i'll have to just reconfigure everytrhing :'( poopie
[01:33] <FAJALOU> david123: i wouldn't think so but you could try and give us the results :D
[01:33] <FAJALOU> bobertdos: but that would install a bunch of programs too
[01:33] <Agu10> i think my palm only hot syncs in windows
[01:33] <david123> bobertdos: yeah and all the programs came with
[01:33] <ScottWegner> pteeb: You could boot from the LiveCD on your laptop, use the Partition Editor to create your partition layout (with /home on a separate partition), and then copy the /home data from your other computer
[01:33] <Agu10> because i tried with all the usb ports
[01:33] <Agu10> and nothing
[01:34] <david123> bobertdos: does xfce really use less resources?
[01:34] <CTho> how do I get my microphone working?
[01:34] <ScottWegner> pteeb: many programs will store their configuration files in your home directory, and those configuration files can generally be reused
[01:34] <l815> david123, I'd say yes from my own experience
[01:34] <rvtcadmin> Pici, thanks also.  didn't see you there
[01:34] <bobbob1016> I'm sharing a folder via samba to an OSX leopard machine, and it says I don't have permissions to some folders in the share.  I did "sudo chmod -R 777 *" in that folder, and it didn't work, I tried chown, and it said I don't have permissions to change owner, with sudo.
[01:34] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: look in /mnt, there should be a bunch of folders in there, you want either hda or sda, or possibly hdb or sdb.  Anyone know which?  you'll know it because the right one will give you the contents of the drive you want
[01:34] <Logrusmage> Hey everyone, can anyone help me get my MythTV set up? I'm having a serious issue. It's not connecting to the mysql server. No idea what's wrong... any ideas?
[01:34] <david123> l815: yes to what and how?
[01:34] <akatsuki> hello, its possible to have ff version 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time? i need 2.0.. and beat come 3.0 come by default
[01:34] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Alright, thanks, I'll try that, brb
[01:34] <Agu10> how do i connect my palm into ubuntu?
[01:35] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: are u trying to add a second frontend
[01:35] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: scratch that, look in /media
[01:35] <Pici> Agu10: Have you seen this? http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[01:35] <daxroc> Evening all
[01:35] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: or did u change the mysql ip from 127.0.0.1 to something else?
[01:35] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ok, will do :P
[01:35] <bobertdos> ﻿david123: The simplest answer is yes, because the desktop environment is not graphically intensive as Gnome or KDE. A lot of it has to do with the amount of RAM used.
[01:35] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: I literally just installed it.
[01:35] <daxroc> Any one know a solution to the newer sony laptop brightness issue with nvidia 8 series cards ?
[01:36] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  so, what does it say in the mythbackend about the host ip addresses
 so no
[01:36] <david123> bobertdos: i get it so... even a complicated wallpaper uses lots of ram?
[01:36] <Ben> Can somebody point me to a FAQ or something that explains setting up swapping files between a Windows host and an Ubuntu virtual machine (VMware)? It's driving me up the wall
[01:36] <FAJALOU> !samba | Ben
[01:36] <akatsuki> hello, its possible to have ff version 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time? i need 2.0.. and beat come 3.0 come by default
[01:37] <starchild> i have a drive with an oem copy of windows on it that i'm trying to load in another computer but i cant get it to mount in ubuntu since this isnt the drives original computer, any suggestions?
[01:37] <Mecha25> ben: what VM software are you using?
[01:37] <l815> david123,  well for one, Xfce is built to be lightweight
[01:37] <bobertdos> akatsuki: I suppose you could install FF 2 using Mozilla's version. That way, it would sit separately in the opt directory. May I ask why you need version 2?
[01:37] <ScottWegner> Is there any command to pipe terminal output to the GNOME clipboard?
[01:37] <l815> david123,  and doesnt require compiz for basic effects like dropshadow and transparency
[01:37] <david123> l815: do you know how i can install it without the programs?
[01:37] <Mecha25> starchild: whatever timsandtoms gets working, should work for you, I suggest looking in /media, that's where I found mine
[01:37] <SixStringer> You should be able to set up a share in your VM and map to it from Windows.
[01:37] <bobertdos> ﻿david123: Yep
[01:37] <Ben> Mecha25: WMware Workstation 6. I've heard a bit about Samba, I just need to know how to connect my 'real' HDD and the Ubuntu virtual one with it
[01:37] <l815> david123,  from Ubuntu?
 no idea =/  Whenever I start the backend setup it gives me a "No upnp backends found". I go through the setupd process (changing nothing) and it gives me "Cannot log into server?"
 yes
[01:38] <qmr> Ben: have you used virtualbox?  I prefer it to vmware
[01:38] <l815> david123,  you can run "sudo aptitude install xfce-core", although it might not be as pretty because it's vanilla
[01:38] <Mecha25> ben: google "vmware Workstation samba share"
[01:38] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:  no idea =/  Whenever I start the backend setup it gives me a "No upnp backends found". I go through the setupd process (changing nothing) and it gives me "Cannot log into server?"
[01:38] <grendal_prime> god i wish there was a simple html editor that would let me pop a few php scripts into it and then let me actually save the file as a php file.  Something like kompozer but that works correct
[01:38] <akatsuki> because im taking an online class which the site does not support 3.0 but just 1 and 2
[01:38] <l815> david123, vanilla meaning it is xfce as it was built, without xubuntu's modifications
[01:38] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: there's always vim, hehehehe
[01:39] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726680
[01:39] <bobertdos> ﻿akatsuki: I see, well in that case, yes, I would get an old version from Mozilla and install it to opt.
 what were xubuntu's modifications
[01:39] <Agu10> this is a shit
[01:39] <ericX> grendal try eclipse
[01:39] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: looks like first u need to confirm mysql is running
[01:39] <Mecha25> !language | Agu10
[01:39] <FAJALOU> !language > Agu10
[01:40] <Agu10> i can not make hot-sync to work in ubuntu with my palm
[01:40] <grendal_prime> vim...christ
[01:40] <Mecha25> sorry agu10, double duty
[01:40] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can do, one sec
[01:40] <ericX> I am developing Joomla apps with PHP, and I use eclipse with phpeclipse
[01:40] <ericX> its okay
[01:40] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: or gedit if you're feeling easy
[01:40] <l815> david123, basic ones, like panel setup, and some applications
[01:40] <akatsuki> thx bobertdos
[01:41] <l815> david123, by all means install it and give it a shot, you can always remove it if you don't like :)
[01:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ran the command he ran... not getting anything back, just the carrot...
[01:41] <grendal_prime> gedit..? i need something that gives me betther layout tools...i suck already at layout..
[01:41] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Actually, just found it in Computer under Places xD Figures, it had to be easy. Any idea where windows stores the firefox bookmarks?
[01:41] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  do /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[01:41] <Agu10> is there a way to connect the palm to the pc?
[01:41] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: one sec, I can give you an exact path
[01:41] <FAJALOU> timsandtoms: prolly in documents and settings
[01:41] <ericX> grendal_prime: you can't really do a wyswig and php at the same time
[01:41] <bobertdos> ﻿akatsuki: You're welcome
[01:41] <ericX> even in dreamweaver it was eh
[01:41] <boxy> if i have an app in /etc/application/app and i run it in that dir by ./app , how can I make it so that I can make that a "system" command and just run it as app in any directory, kind of like regular commands like apt-get,lcoate etc
[01:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can do
[01:41] <Mecha25> grendal_prime: then it's either phpeclipse, vim, or emacs
 i did and removed but now it gives me updates and when i removed it via terminal all the programs were still there
[01:42] <Agu10> !es Mecha25
[01:42] <Agu10> !es | Mecha25
[01:42] <l815> david123, did you use apt-get or aptitude?
[01:42] <ScottWegner> boxy: Applications shouldn't be installed in /etc.  Rather, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[01:42] <ericX> grendal_prime you need to just setup your lamp environment and then check against the browser:
[01:42] <bobertdos> ﻿boxy: You would add the directory your application is in to the PATH variable.
[01:42] <Pupbuntu> hi, when i type "vncserver", it says it is starting one on :1, then :2, etc., but no vnc processes are actually running and (ergo) i cannot connect... any idea how to debug? the log seems empty
[01:42] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: done
[01:43] <Ben> Thanks for the advice Mecha25. qmr, I looked around before deciding on VMware, the tendency was toward preferring it over virtualbox. I'm still looking though, why would you recommend Virtualbox?
[01:43] <ericX> or build it in html then throw the PHP in later, there are alternate froms of control statements and stuff that make it better to stick php into an html designed page
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  and u had no errors restarting it
[01:43] <boxy> bobertdos how would i do that?
[01:43] <ericX> or you can look into a template system
[01:43] <Ben> Thanks for the advice Mecha25. qmr, I looked around before deciding on VMware, the tendency was toward preferring it over virtualbox. I'm still looking though, why would you recommend Virtualbox?
[01:43] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: nope
[01:43] <boxy> ScottWegner ok thanks for that tip ill move it
 didn't know it makes a difference i always use apt-get
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: one thing I would do as well is edit the /etc/my.cnf file and comment out the line that says bind address 127.0.0.1
[01:43] <kernel_ghost> then restart mysql
[01:43] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: sorry, what version of windows and firefox are you running?
[01:44] <ericX> grendal: developing php+html is like python+glide
[01:44] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: it'll depend on that
[01:44] <ericX> not like VB
[01:44] <Mecha25> Agu10: haha.
[01:44] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: WinXP SP2, Firefox 2something
[01:44] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: Ah, looking back I think I may have gotten an error
[01:44] <ericX> I have never found a good app where you can do PHP code and web page layout at the same time
[01:44] <l815> david123, i thought so too, but I've heard aptitude keeps better track of installs compared to apt-get
[01:44] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: great, I'm running Firefox3 on vista... this could be tough
[01:44] <bobertdos> ﻿boxy: Ubuntu has a very easy way of doing this.  /etc/environment is a special file Ubuntu has that allows a user to customize the user's PATH.

[01:44] <Agu10> !flood
[01:45] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: edit that my.cnf file
[01:45] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ah, ok, will do :) Thanks for the help

[01:45] <Agu10> thank u for nothing
[01:45] <l815> david123, np
[01:45] <bobertdos> boxy: PM me if you need help with that
[01:45] <FAJALOU> !patience > Agu10
[01:45] <Mecha25> Agu10: sorry, nobody here knows the answer, we would help if we knew
[01:45] <boxy> bobertdos ok thank you very much for your help
[01:45] <Mecha25> Mecha25: my last palm pilot was a z22, it got stolen before I got ubuntu
[01:46] <timsandtoms> Mecha25: Ok, got it :D Thanks!
[01:46] <Mecha25> Agu10: my last palm pilot was a z22, it got stolen before I got ubuntu
[01:46] <Mecha25> d'oh
[01:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: can't seem to find the file =/
[01:46] <bobertdos> ﻿ ﻿boxy: you're welcome
[01:46] <Agu10> oh
[01:46] <Mecha25> timsandtoms: no problem
[01:46] <ericX> so my question for the night: I have a cavalry external drive with ntfs and ubuntu randomly will unmount the drive, like even if I am reading from the drive. I am often watching movies or copying files and the drive will just disappear, and unplugging/plugging does not bring it back, I have to reboot. So my question is, why is it randomly like spinning down or unmounting for other reasons, and how can I stop it? (Ubuntu 8.04 with laptop
[01:46] <ericX> mode enabled)
[01:46] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: sorry /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[01:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: nvrmnd it was in the mysql folder
[01:46] <MXIIA> http://i37.tinypic.com/2w737k1.jpg best wallpaper ever!
[01:47] <Mecha25> Agu10: you can search the ubuntu forums while you wait: http://ubuntuforums.org/
[01:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: delete the whole bind: line?
[01:47] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: dont delete, comment
[01:48] <Agu10> Mecha25: i have already searched for my problem
[01:48] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound.. please anyone?
[01:48] <Agu10> but i get no too much solutions
[01:48] <Mecha25> Agu10: I know how it is, it took me literally 3 weeks of tinkering to get dual monitors on my ATI card in ubuntu, keep at it, I now have it working and it's amazing, I guarantee you will too eventually
[01:48] <dread> has anyone tried to run the storm botnet app (game0.exe, game1.exe, game2.exe, game3.exe, game4.exe, game5.exe) under wine or crossover?
[01:49] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound
[01:49] <amirman> ok, this is weird, i hooked up my 320 GB drive to my wireless modem through the networkable enclosure and it's on and everything but i have no idea how to see it or find it from my laptop.
[01:49] <ericX> any help with my previous question on the randomly unmounting usb drives?
[01:49] <bogeyman> got a ? can the remote desktop viewer view windows pcs?
[01:49] <randal> I NEED SOME HELP GETING MY VID CARD WORKING
[01:49] <Mecha25> persian_x, what do you mean partial downgrade?
[01:49] <persian_x> partial upgrade
[01:49] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: when I open the file with gedit its blank... I assume I'm doing something wrong?
[01:49] <persian_x> by update manager
[01:49] <bogeyman> like a windows server pc that uses remote desktop
[01:49] <ericX> amirman you hooked it up through ethernet?
[01:49] <Blaqlight> bogeyman, yes
[01:49] <persian_x> it asked me to do a partial upgrade
[01:50] <persian_x> and i did
[01:50] <ScottWegner> bogeyman: On Windows, you can set up either VNC or Windows Remote Desktop.
[01:50] <bogeyman> k i tried port for it and it wont load
[01:50] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  well, i'd get on the terminal and do sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[01:50] <randal> i have a old video card i dont know how to get it working
[01:50] <Mecha25> persian_x:... that's odd, I've never heard of a partial upgrade
[01:50] <amirman> ericX, the drive it hooked up via ethernet cable to my wireless router
[01:50] <Blaqlight> windows remote desktop is only available in windows professional.
[01:50] <Agu10> Mecha25: u have 2 monitors with ati working. but do u have compiz enabled?
[01:50] <bogeyman> but i want to view the remote desktop on ubuntu
[01:50] <ericX> okay, well go to the Places -> Network
[01:50] <Blaqlight> or higher. xp home and lower is without.
[01:50] <Mecha25> Agu10: that was the tough part, and yes!!! :D
[01:50] <ericX> your drive is probably running SMB
[01:50] <randal> anyone i need help geting my vid card working
[01:50] <bogeyman> i got a server running win2k3
[01:50] <ericX> what model is it?
[01:51] <bogeyman> i need to use remote desktop viewer or something to view it from ubuntu
[01:51] <bogeyman> how cna i view it on ubuntu is my ?
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: how do u do it? how did u enable compiz and use dual monitors with ati?
[01:51] <ScottWegner> bogeyman: your best bet is to set up a VNC server on the Windows machine (search for ultravnc to install on Windows).  Once that is up and running, you can use Remote Desktop Viewer under Ubuntu to connect
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: i have an ati too, and two monitors
[01:51] <Blaqlight> bogeyman, there are several... tight VNC
[01:51] <persian_x> can anyone help me with ALSA? I just did a partial upgrade and i dont have anymore sound.. please anyone?
[01:51] <Agu10> Mecha25: could u help me?
[01:51] <amirman> ericX: smb sounds right because if i go to places then network, the windows network i arrive at smb:// but it wont even let me create a folder there
[01:52] <Mecha25> Agu10:  Like I said, 3 weeks of breaking /etc/X11/xorg.conf in every way possibly imagineable, a full reinstall, and finally just some plain luck
[01:52] <ericX> it should list some computers
[01:52] <randal> i need some help with my video card
[01:52] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ok, done
[01:52] <ericX> you can check to see if the drive has an IP in your wireless routers configuration, check the dhcp pool
[01:52] <Mecha25> Agu10: the best I can offer is my xorg.conf, I still don't know how I really did it
[01:52] <randal> can anyone help with my old nivida video card
[01:52] <Agu10> Mecha25: don't u see everything white in your desktop?
[01:52] <ericX> then you can navigate to it as the path in nautilus
[01:52] <amirman> ericX: how do i do that?
[01:52] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: try again now
[01:52] <FAJALOU> randal:  i have a GeForce 6200?
[01:52] <Agu10> well, send me your xorg.conf
[01:53] <Agu10> i will try it
[01:53] <amirman> ericX: how do i find the ip address for the drive?
[01:53] <ericX> you never had to setup your wireless rotuer, depends on the model
[01:53] <Mecha25> Agu10: one second, I'll send you a link, it's too long to type in, and I'll only send you the parts you need
[01:53] <qiukun> 有人用horde吗？
[01:53] <ericX> well, there should be a page in the web admin for the router that shows which dhcp addresses are assigned
[01:53] <ericX> hopefully you know which ones are for your other pcs and devices, see if there is a new one
[01:53] <Agu10> Mecha25: ok
[01:53] <amirman> ericX: oh yes, i know where that is thanks, i'll be back i'm sure
[01:53] <ericX> that way we know it is connected to the network
[01:53] <Mecha25> Agu10: first off, you need to install ATI Catalyst Control from Add/Remove programs
[01:54] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: same thing happens...
[01:55] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok, did u add the myth packages to an existing ubuntu install, or did u use mythbuntu
[01:55] <ericX> so anyone can provide help with my randomly unmounting usb drive, it always auto-remounts with a new path too
[01:55] <ericX> or better yet can someone just explain to me where the automounting magic takes places in ubuntu/gnome
[01:55] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: added em
[01:55] <bobertdos> ﻿randal: You can't display anything at all with it?
[01:56] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  can i ask the exact command u used to install
[01:56] <Agu10> Mecha25: ok, now what
[01:56] <amirman> ericX: it's not in my dhcp client list because it's not connected wirelessly, it's connected with a lan cable, where should i look to find the ip for it?
[01:56] <Mecha25> Agu10: I'm putting together the sections of the xorg.conf that you will need, give me a bit
[01:56] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: sudo apt-get install mythtv
[01:57] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  ok, do this
[01:57] <Agu10> ok
[01:57] <ericX> well if its connected with a cable, it should still get an address from dhcp
[01:57] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  sudo apt-get install myth*
[01:57] <ericX> dhcp does not correlate directly to wireless
[01:57] <ericX> if your router and modem one box?
[01:57] <bbarton> can someone help a full blodded linux noob install a program??
[01:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: this is gonna take awhile... heh...
[01:58] <Blaqlight> bbarton, whats the problem
[01:58] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  it may, shouldnt be too bad but
[01:58] <Agu10> Mecha25: how are u sending it to me
[01:58] <pvl1> any ati bigdesktop users?
[01:58] <bbarton> trying to install google earth... have no idia how to install bins lol
[01:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: its reading at half an hour right now, not so bad.
[01:58] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: for the record mythbuntu is an excellent distro for making this a little easier those guys have done a wonderful job on it
[01:58] <amirman> ericX: my wireless router is connected to my modem, it's not the same unit
[01:59] <venger> anyone know if there's a pre 9.0.115.0 version of flashplayer (if i have the versioning right) ?  while flash 10 beta is better framerates i still experience screen tearing .  tried nvidia-settings toggle v-sync etc with no luck
[01:59] <Blaqlight> bbarton, I believe you have to change it to executable first.
[01:59] <Lynet> amirman: Did the enclosure have any kind of documentation?
[01:59] <bbarton> still lost blaqlight
[01:59] <Mecha25> Agu10: through pastebin, it'll be a link, sorry this is taking so long
[01:59] <ericX> okay, so router has  a port connected to the modem, the rest of the ports are on the same lan segment as your wireless (same network)
[02:00] <whileimhere> Is there a channel for wireless issues on ubuntu?
[02:00] <Agu10> ok
[02:00] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: unfortunately, I have a lot on this sytem I don't want to lose, and not nearly enough space/time to back it all up. Are you saying I should make a sperate partition just for mythtv?
[02:00] <ericX> amirman are you using a home made thing or a commerical nas?
[02:00] <amirman> Lynet: i bought it secondhand off of ebay, i think i can find documentation online though, i just thought there may be something simple to it that i'm missing
[02:00] <Blaqlight> I have to see what the site you downloaded the program says you should do
[02:00] <qfour20> Hi everybody.  I have a thinkpad that had been working quite well until very recently.  Now, for some reason, the wireless no longer works on her.  When I do "iwconfig" it says "no wireless extensions" on all the interfaces it shows, none of which are the actual wireless adapter.  Also, dmesg tells me that the airo driver was loaded.  What am I missing here?
[02:00] <bbarton> i have been a win user for 15 yrs...... it's like switching from cigarrettes to clean air lol
[02:00] <bobertdos> ﻿whileimhere: I'm not aware of a particular channel. We're more than happy to help with wireless here. What can we do for you?
[02:00] <amirman> ericX: what's nas?
[02:01] <reind> I have an intel g35 chipset based mb (asus p5evm-hdmi) and ive connected it to my lcd, but i cant get it to work at my tvs native res 1366x768. I've added this to xorg.conf but when i start gnome it goes to 1280x720 (which doesnt display properly). If I use the vga (rather than hdmi) port it works correctly though, any ideas?
[02:01] <ericX> network attached storage
[02:01] <ericX> who makes your box
[02:01] <amirman> ericX: it's commercial
[02:01] <ericX> name?
[02:01] <Mecha25> Agu10: ok, here you go
[02:01] <ericX> wordlbook, iomega?
[02:01] <whileimhere> My friend has a new Dell XPS m1530 laptop. Its really sweet but we cannot get the wireless to work on it. I cannot seem to find an inf for the NDISwrapper so I cannot even do that.
[02:01] <Mecha25> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27380/
[02:01] <bbarton> the site doesn't give any install info..
[02:02] <utarpradesh> how do I enable Webcam Functionality  in Ubuntu??? what drivers do I need to search for and download in Synaptic??
[02:02] <Blaqlight> bbarton, it does. I used it too install it before. hang on
[02:02] <Mecha25> Agu10: that is NOT a complete xorg.conf, you need to merge those sections with your current ones.  if you need help, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste in the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:02] <bbarton> ii tried this: chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[02:03] <bbarton> it says file not found...
[02:03] <amirman> ericX: i had to do some maneuvering to get to it behind the chair, NetDisk NDAS , ND series
[02:03] <Agu10> ok, Mecha25
[02:03] <venger> reind, did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if DPMS output still showed that was a valid resolution?
[02:03] <Ganandorf> hi guys i recently installed ubuntu 8.04 64bit on my 320 gig hard drive but having a hard time configuring the graphics for compiz fusion
[02:03] <Ganandorf> how do i enable it
[02:03] <oobe> utarpradesh, i dont know much about webcams but if its a usb one the you probably need to have it plugged in at boot
[02:03] <ericX> http://www.ximeta.com/web/technology/ndas/technologie10_en.php
[02:03] <bpmarkham> can anyone help me with a podencoder issue?
[02:04] <AbstortedMinds> is it recommended to install apache from apt-get install apache2 or should i do dpkg
[02:04] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: no not at all
[02:04] <Blaqlight> bbarton, then try sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[02:04] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: just saying if u deploy more front ends etc, mythbuntu should be considered
[02:04] <AbstortedMinds> and whats the difference between dpkg and apt-get and aptitude install
[02:04] <utarpradesh> oobe: it is plugged in
[02:04] <utarpradesh> always
[02:04] <Johnny> how do i get a performance desklet working?
[02:04] <oobe> utarpradesh, and you should also check /var/log/messages dmesg lsmod to see if already has been detected and just not configured
[02:04] <ericX> that is the site, it either has to have a dhcp client or a default static ip
[02:04] <Johnny> or whats the name of one
[02:04] <Blaqlight> you should get a dialog about some legal stuff if it runs.
[02:04] <ericX> there would be no other way to access and work with it
[02:05] <Dedi> anyone here got a "nv"-driver multi screen xorg.conf?
[02:05] <bbarton> Blaqlight : says command not found..
[02:05] <amirman> ericX: so what can i do? how can i give it a static ip?
[02:05] <oobe> utarpradesh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[02:05] <DarkAudit> Johnny: what are you wanting to monitor?
[02:05] <bobertdos> ﻿whileimhere: You know, for most of the installers, the files get extracted to a temporary directory. So technically, it would probably be possible to find the inf.
[02:05] <digitalsky> hi everyone
[02:05] <amirman> ericX: or does it already have one?
[02:06] <ericX> I am not sure, my guess is it should be trying to connect with dhcp
[02:06] <huba1> Anyone with thinkpad T61 here?
[02:06] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ah, thanks. Well I guess I gotta wait for my DL to finish.
[02:06] <Ganandorf> in appearance i choose extra but it tells me to enable nvidia accelerated graphics driver latest cards
[02:06] <ericX> are you sure you didn't see it assign an address?
[02:06] <digitalsky> I'm hoping to get some help on setting up my ubuntu 8.04 server w/ apache2 as a proxy
[02:06] <Johnny> cpu performance , disk space, wireless etc
[02:06] <purplestar> hi
[02:06] <purplestar> how can I play this website video using Hardy? http://news.ninemsn.com.au/livestreaming/sydney/
[02:06] <bazz> the current behaviour of any of my (gtk) filechooser widgets is that when i type a "~" it turns into [myname]/  this is wrong,  it should be /home/[myname]   any way to fix this?
[02:06] <utarpradesh> thanks oobe
[02:06] <Johnny> also what is that clock desklet called
[02:06] <Ganandorf> but when i do my screen resolution goes down to 620 * 680
[02:06] <amirman> ericX: it wasn't showing on the dhcp client list on my router
[02:06] <Ganandorf> and cant go any higher
[02:06] <oobe> utarpradesh,  took me 3 secs to find in google
[02:06] <qfour20> huba1: I have a T40
[02:06] <bpmarkham> ﻿can anyone help me with a podencoder issue?
[02:06] <Dedi> huba1: hehe yeah since 3 days :D
[02:06] <digitalsky> the proxy works but i sometimes get outdated pages. does anyone know why that might be? ( I only have mod_proxy and not the cache stuff)
[02:06] <purplestar> it says Silverlight and Windows Media player.  Any way to play it using Firefox in Hardy?
[02:07] <ericX> then this is not like a linux thing, its not getting an IP, you gotta check the manual for the box on this
[02:07] <whileimhere> bobertdos: I have tried that from dells official download and everything was cryptic and made no sense as far as file names.
[02:07] <ericX> sorry, can't do much more than that from here
[02:07] <DarkAudit> Johnny: I use screenlets ('cause gdesklets doesn't work in 64-bit) and use the watermark screenlet... it can monitor just about all of those
[02:07] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: yes, for now u wait :)
[02:07] <huba1> hmm, how is your thinkpad wireless treat you?
[02:07] <amirman> ericX: thanks anyway
[02:07] <randal> fajalou
[02:07] <Blaqlight> bbarton, Im sorry its taking so long my connection is slow :(
[02:07] <huba1> Mine seems choppy at times, disconnect me for no reason.
[02:07] <WalloO> bpmarkham, you want to encode video for ipod?
[02:07] <Johnny> sorry im new to this DarkAudit i dont really understand
[02:07] <bigbadjesus__> i cant get mine to work at all using ndiswrapper
[02:07] <oobe> purplestar, looks like you just need the flashplugin non free
[02:07] <randal> FAJALOU
[02:08] <gregbrady> how to install kde 4 on ubuntu?
[02:08] <oobe> purplestar, aptitude  search flash
[02:08] <huba1> purplestar: I can play it just fine
[02:08] <bigbadjesus__> i have intel 3945
[02:08] <Johnny> i've installed screenlets DarkAudit
[02:08] <qfour20> huba1: wireless was flawless for about a year with gentoo, debian and ubuntu
[02:08] <DarkAudit> I set one for CPU, another for memory, another for network throughput, rinse, repeat
[02:08] <CTho> http://pastebin.com/m3397fdf4 why is this mount failing?
[02:08] <Dedi> huba1: it works fine under linux but had big problems with vista today
[02:08] <qfour20> huba1: then about a week ago, it stopped altogether
[02:08] <bpmarkham> WalloO: yes i'm having issues with podencoder. i've tried mp4ize but i like how podencoder formats the output. how can you help me?
[02:08] <bigbadjesus__> what driver do you use qfour20?
[02:08] <Johnny> how do i get it working
[02:08] <randal> FAJALOU
[02:08] <bobertdos> ﻿whileimhere: I suppose if I switched to Windows, I could help you take a look. Ndiswrapper is really the only way to handle this.
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: I was using airo
[02:08] <purplestar> oobe: ok
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: dmesg still says that airo loaded
[02:08] <Blaqlight> bbarton, here http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=44713&src=top5&lev=topic
[02:08] <qfour20> bigbadjesus__: but the device is no longer there
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: how does it play for you?  theres no video playing till later LOL
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: you were caught lying
[02:09] <bpmarkham> @ WalloO or do you have another suggestion?
[02:09] <whileimhere> bobertdos: That is cool but you dont need to. I need a break from this thing anyways.
[02:09] <oobe> CTho, looks like you need to boot into windows and shutdown again
[02:09] <WalloO> bpmarkham, I use this way of doing: http://computersstoneage.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-convert-your-video-to-work-on.html
[02:09] <purplestar> huba1: its a live NEWS streaming, and it hasnt started yet!  its BLANK no video is streaming yet! you were just BUSTED LYING :(
[02:09] <CTho> oobe: the laptop this drive came from is dead dead dead
[02:09] <whileimhere> bobertdos I will try downloading it again and looking.
[02:09] <gregbrady> anyone?  kde install?  sorry for asking.
[02:09] <CTho> oobe: turns out i needed to add -o force
[02:10] <bobertdos> ﻿whileimhere: alright, PM me if you change your mind
[02:10] <oobe> CTho, cool
[02:10] <huba1> purplestar: well, at least my windows media player addon works.
 purplestar: I can play it just fine <--- thats impossible as the live news streaming hasnt began yet!  LIAR :(
[02:10] <huba1> purplestar: I thought that is what you wanted to know.]
[02:10] <whileimhere> bobertdos thanks cool
[02:10] <DarkAudit> Johnny: get the screenlet package from the Intrepid repo... the Hardy one is old and buggy...
[02:10] <WalloO> Johnny, have you used WaterMark screenlet?
[02:10] <bbarton> Blaqlight: Thanks I'll try that out
[02:10] <purplestar> huba1: realise this.. if you lie you will always get busted, sooner or later
[02:10] <bpmarkham> @ WalloO Thanks! i'll give it a shot!
[02:10] <gregbrady> ok, thanks....
[02:10] <mikexstudios> Hi all, I'm trying to execute this python script by having the shebang line call the python interpreter (with -u argument to python, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/27384/). However, I get the error message: "/usr/bin/env: python -u: No such file or directory". Is there a way around this? (Note that I need to use env to invoke python.)
[02:10] <huba1> damn what an ass.
[02:11] <DarkAudit> There's a link to the Watermark screenlet on the screenlet home page
[02:11] <oobe> what a rude man purplestar was
[02:11] <bloodrock> DarkAudit, i think you'll have to show him how to add that repo lol
[02:11] <Johnny> no WalloO im totally new to desklets or screenlets
[02:11] <Johnny> im not quite sure how to work them
[02:11] <DarkAudit> bloodrock: I went through the web site :)
[02:11] <Johnny> DarkAudit, i got the gutsy one
[02:11] <mikexstudios> To clarify, I somehow need to get linux to parse the shebang line as: #!"/usr/bin/env python" -u instead of #!/usr/bin/env "python -u"
[02:11] <Johnny> is there already a new distro
[02:12] <WalloO> Johnny, I coded watermark screenlet. If you want to try it... :)  http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960

[02:14] <Johnny> alright
[02:14] <Johnny> is that how you install all screenlets?
[02:14] <WalloO> DarkAudit, yes it is. The design sucks, but It can report many things... :)
[02:14] <WalloO> Johnny, maybe you can install it from the screenlets manager interface to

[02:36] <CaptainMorgan> I just saw on distrowatch that 8.10 Alpha 2 is already released.... crazy! now, I run a server for my current 8.04, does this mean I am supported for the next five years with only 8.04? or can I upgrade to 8.10 and still retain the LTS 5 year support plan?
[02:36] <hmuller> CaptainMorgan:  Keep drinking the rum and wait for Alpha 3
[02:36] <Dr_willis_> tv out on an nvidia cards. - ive found it deopends on the cards. with some of my systems one had to have the TV (svideo) plugged in to the tv. when the system booted. and the card would default to cloning to the tv. (which was handy) with some other cards I had to use twinview to tell it to clone tv/monitor
[02:36] <arvind_khadri> CaptainMorgan, :P nope
[02:36] <bobertdos> ﻿ puller: yes I am
[02:36] <Pici> CaptainMorgan: Yes, 5 years for 8.04, but by the time the support runs out, a new LTS will be out.
[02:36] <puller> bobertdos: great thamks
[02:36] <CaptainMorgan> arvind_khadri, so I need to keep the server at 8.04 ?
[02:37] <bobertdos> ﻿ puller: except I'm not in Windows at the moment :D
[02:37] <fank> is there any way to find this out? i can't find anything nvidia related in terms of preferences. nothing like the screen that you can see on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors

[02:57] <Johnny> thanks Gnea
[02:57] <Johnny> gnuB_Chris*
[02:57] <randal> arvind_khadri: almost installed
[02:57] <Johnny> but i still cant get these icons working
[02:57] <arvind_khadri> spork969, you might have done it on the home folder :) just say ls
[02:57] <Johnny> i unpackaged them to .icons and they still dont show up in preferences
[02:57] <PhoenixUK> ﻿Shado1 you want to connect router to another router ? thats it ?
[02:57] <VanessaE> question:  is there a reason why a certain program running under Wine would be slower under ubuntu than it is under Gentoo?  (Think an order of magnitude)
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> randal, after installing just open envy and install the drivers ....
[02:58] <VanessaE> is 2d accel turned off and I just haven't noticed it elsewhere?
[02:58] <Shado1> well my wireless is connected to one router, now if i connect a seperate router to my computer I want to be able to share the internet connection
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> spork969, i hope you found the folder ??
[02:58] <spork969> arvind_khadri: i think so
[02:59] <gaelfx> ikonia: hey, not sure if you remember my problem from yesterday, but thought you would like to know that the second reboot did the trick
[02:59] <arvind_khadri> spork969, actually i gtg... got exams today :D
[02:59] <spork969> arvind_khadri: thanks for the help. bye
[02:59] <spork969> arvind_khadri: and good luck
[02:59] <arvind_khadri> spork969, welcome .. thanks a lot :)
[02:59] <VanessaE> Gentoo finally p*ssed me off, so I came back to Ubuntu :-)
[02:59] <gnuB_Chris> johnny: do you have a theme manager installed?
[02:59] <PhoenixUK> ﻿Shado1 i dont quite get it, so your PC is connected wirelessly to a router or by cable ? and what do you want to do really
[03:00] <Johnny> yes
[03:00] <resproblem> i'm on xubuntu 8 right now and my resolution is stuck at 800x600; whenever i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, i never see any settings for the display like tutorials online say
[03:00] <Johnny> i think it might be because they arent seperated into directories
[03:00] <gaelfx> can anyone help me figure out why sometimes my internet is unbearably slow and sometimes it's much faster?
[03:00] <gnuB_Chris> johnnyL which one?
[03:00] <Johnny> its just one icons file and then all the icons
[03:00] <Johnny> would that be it?
[03:00] <kcman> can anyone help me with updating my graphics drivers on my sony it is ati rage mobility -M1
[03:00] <gaelfx> I think I'm having a problem with PPPoE
[03:01] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  no.  you would have a package loaded like emerald theme manager
[03:01] <Johnny> yes
[03:01] <purplestar> Johnny: love ya
[03:01] <Johnny> but i've been using gnomes theme manager
[03:01] <vtasmania> hello need help on detecting and installing sound card
[03:01] <Johnny> who are you purplestar
[03:01] <Shado1> yes my pc is connected wirelesses to a router which has a modem hooked to it as input, so my computer gets internet wirelessly, but that router is downstairs and my PS3 wireless is pretty lame, so I bought a second router which i want to hook upto my computer, share the internet connection and connect my PS3 to the second router
[03:01] <gnuB_Chris> ok.  open theme manager and you should have an option to import the gz file.
[03:02] <gaelfx> can anyone help me address an issue with a PPPoE connection?
[03:02] <gnuB_Chris> then you would activate it, I think.  it's been a while since I used a gdm
[03:03] <Shado1> I have it all connected but when I try gain internet access when connected to the second router (the one hooked upto my computer) theres no internet connection.
[03:03] <spork969> how do i make a launcher do more than one command?
[03:03] <Johnny> isnt ping the correct file type gnuB_Chris ? when i try to set it by right clicking they dont show up
[03:04] <Shado1> I had it all setup on windows but now migrating to ubuntu i'm having a few troubles setting it up
[03:04] <PhoenixUK> ﻿Shado1 can you tell me your settings on each of them ?
[03:04] <Shado1> sure, what settings do you need?
[03:04] <brrrrrradical> could somebody please help me with getting my printer working?
[03:04] <Johnny> emerald theme manager wont let me import .tar.gz gnuB_Chris
[03:04] <PhoenixUK> ﻿Shado1 gateway / ip / subnet mask, on both, and from PCs as well
[03:04] <glitsj16> spork969: add a ";" between commands
[03:05] <Shado1> PhoenixUK shall we go into PM?
[03:05] <purplestar> Johnny: its me, i love ya :)
[03:05] <purplestar> on Windows, I visit websie that allows talking with others using webcam.  In windows I use Manycam.com. how can I play mpg video on hardy webcam?
[03:05] <PhoenixUK> ﻿Shado1 ye sure, no point messing here
[03:05] <Sorlag> @all i cant run *.bin files. it says "There is no application installed for this file type" What am i supposed to do now ?!
[03:05] <Johnny> who's me purplestar
[03:06] <spork969> glitsj16: so "cd ~/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386; ./jUploadr" should work?
[03:06] <punkoleo> yo
[03:06] <spork969> glitsj16: or can i simplify that?
[03:06] <VanessaE> no one can help me? :(
[03:06] <punkoleo> c'est quoi sa freenet?
[03:06] <purplestar> Johnny: :)
[03:06] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  again, I haven't used gdm in awhile.  I would think you need to import the whole theme package
[03:06] <brrrrrradical> can somebody please help me set up my printer... it seems to connect but doesnt respond or print nething
[03:06] <glitsj16> spork969: you could put those commands into a shell script and point the launcher to that
[03:07] <gnuB_Chris> brrr: what veersion are you using
[03:07] <spork969> glitsj16: how?
[03:07] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> what brand and model is that printer?
[03:07] <brrrrrradical> hardy
[03:07] <Johnny> all i have is the icon package
[03:07] <brrrrrradical> epson stylus c45
[03:07] <patrick_> gregbrady: ok.. that may take a while
[03:07] <Johnny> how do you customize the show desktop icon?
[03:07] <Johnny> where is it at in gconf
[03:07] <purplestar> im bored on Ubuntu. whats there to do?  on Vista I used to play online games.  what can I do to entertain myself on Ubuntu?
[03:08] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> have you look at the hardware compatibility list if that model is listed?
[03:08] <gnuB_Chris> brrr: check the forums for apparmor settings.  I think CUPS is the only app protected by default.  you may need to disable apparmor first
[03:08] <glitsj16> spork969: try that combination first before getting into shell scripts, we'll see about later if you heva trouble starting Jloadr deal ?
[03:08] <amenado> !hardware
[03:08] <WalloO> purplestar, I was just playing CounterStrike on ubuntu. Quite intertaining... :)_
[03:09] <spork969> glitsj16: deal
[03:09] <patrick_> gregbrady: hello..
[03:09] <Sorlag> Doubleclicking .bin files doesnt work?! PLzHlp?!
[03:09] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  you downloaded a gz file, right
[03:09] <jasonago> hello, can anyone recommend a player like amarok for gnome?
[03:09] <purplestar> WalloO: is CounterStrike free?
[03:09] <Johnny> yes gnuB_Chris
[03:09] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yes it is .. when i reboot it even says "Epson_Stylus_c45 is configured" (or something like that ... but it never responds and when i try to print something it says it isnt connected
[03:09] <gnuB_Chris> gnome theme manager won't import that file?
[03:10] <glitsj16> spork969: okay, does it start ?
[03:10] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> using CUPS ?
[03:10] <spork969> glitsj16: "Failed to execute child" process "cd" (no such file or directory)"
[03:10] <DarkAudit> I think apt just went and installed a binary package right after I did an apt-build install of the same package... any way to confirm that?
[03:10] <WalloO> purplestar, It was "counterstrike source" infactr. But it's not free.... However you can play other games like sauerbraten or other quake or doom clones
[03:10] <ui78> I have Ubuntu running inside CEntOS vmware, what should I use to connect to internet ? NAT or bridged ?
[03:10] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yeo
[03:10] <brrrrrradical> yes
[03:10] <kancerman> *so darn glad to be out of the 1024x768 vid resolution lol*
[03:11] <Blaqlight> lol everytime I log off, my appearence setting i.e. window shadows and stuff aren't remembered specifically compiz options. what can I do to make sure I get the same eyecandy each time I start x
[03:11] <glitsj16> spork969: just to check if i'm with you .. you're trying to run JUploadr from a menu ?
[03:11] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> there is a printer test page within that localhost:631 page..try that
[03:11] <purplestar> how do I check for virus, trojans spyware?
[03:11] <Corkster> Blaqlight sessions management > save session
[03:11] <Shaba1> I want to know that too.
[03:11] <spork969> a launcher that i made on the desktop
[03:11] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> what protocol you set it to talk to your printer?
[03:11] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yer i did ... did not respond.
[03:11] <spork969> glitsj16: a launcher that i made on the desktop
[03:12] <brrrrrradical> amenado: how can i check?
[03:12] <brrrrrradical> amenado: what do u mean?
[03:12] <Blaqlight> Corkster, Ive tried that, it doesn't actually remember it, done both automatically, and manually by pressing the button
[03:12] <Sorlag> please you guys
[03:12] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> i dont think you have set up your cups correctly then..look around that page
[03:12] <glitsj16> spork969: i see, you'll need to re-check your paths in the launcher commands
[03:13] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: installation done, nothing changed =/  Someone says it might be that I have multiple mysql.txt files. Do you know how I can search to see if that's true?
[03:13] <Johnny> does anyone know where the gconf setting for show desktop icon is?
[03:13] <kancerman> alternately I found once I installed fusion-icon I could get Compiz to launch after right-clicking the mouse on Fusion-Icon in the main main and checking Launch at log-in option ...
[03:13] <spork969> glitsj16: the paths are golden.
[03:13] <braden_> yeah its in apps>nautilus
[03:13] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  run sudo updatedb and then when that completes type locate mysql.txt
[03:13] <glitsj16> spork969: then why does the cd command fail ?
[03:13] <randal> fajaloup
[03:14] <spork969> glitsj16: if i knew, i wouldn't be asking.
[03:14] <brrrrrradical> amenado: this is what it says in cups: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27391/
[03:14] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  I think I found the forum you are looking for.  See if this helps:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203093
[03:14] <Johnny> thanks
[03:15] <glitsj16> spork969: hang on, scrolling to your original command part here
[03:15] <VanessaE> question:  is there a reason why a particular program running under Wine would be an order of magnitude slower under ubuntu than it is under Gentoo?
[03:15] <Blaqlight> it just doesn't seem to want to remember the settings.
[03:15] <patrick_> VanessaE: well there is already the obvious reasons at hand
[03:16] <Corkster> Blaqlight in emerald theme manager have you tried saving settings as a custom theme
[03:16] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> i dont even see that usb://  protocol on the list, where did you get that?
[03:16] <gaelfx_> can anyone help me fix my PPPoE problem?
[03:16] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: apparently the file is in 5 places D:
[03:16] <VanessaE> patrick_, well, source versus binary distro issues aside...everything else seems to actually be measurably *faster* in ubuntu
[03:16] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: wth
[03:17] <brrrrrradical> amenado: i havent edited that... thats what ubuntu automatically did... guess its not right?
[03:17] <patrick_> VanessaE: except for wine :)
[03:17] <glitsj16> spork969: if your launcher is in ~/Desktop, try changing the command to "cd ../jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386; ./jUploadr"
[03:17] <VanessaE> heh, yeah
[03:17] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  well what u could do is change the password for the mythtv user and then update it in all those txt files just to be sure
[03:17] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> its not right, i dont see that type of printer protocol.
[03:17] <bbarton> ok so can anyone give me a hand with gporftp
[03:17] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> google for cups tutorial please
[03:17] <Blaqlight> Corkster, Im not using that, I just want to use the built in appearence stuff in Gnome. not compiz-fusion-icon or ccsm
[03:17] <brrrrrradical> ok
[03:18] <patrick_> VanessaE: well I really do not know what to tell you as it often does vary between distro
[03:18] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: er, what would that do?
[03:18] <pibe86> hello every body, i got dessapear maximixed, mixized and close buttons (bar). what can i do?
[03:18] <spork969> glitsj16: nope
[03:18] <Blaqlight> Im thinking that perhaps something related to the two others, as both were installed at one time.
[03:19] <banisterfiend> hey guys, sometimes when i run my ruby/gosu game that plays .ogg music...it says 'error something run-time device, something slave, can't play music' or something along those lines. almost like it can't play music in two places at once...i.e from a program on my desktop AND in the game. if i close the program on my desktop (usually something like firefox) the music usually runs fine in my game. what's going on ?
[03:19] <banisterfiend>  sorry the exact error is 'error initializing output device'
[03:19] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: sorry what i meant, and I confused the issue myself is make sure that the files are all consistent, and that the user and pass that myth is using is the same
[03:19] <VanessaE> well a small variance I can understand, but I'm talking about this being 10-15 times slower even on a fast video card (GF6800)
[03:19] <Blaqlight> banisterfiend, your using OSS try switching to ALSA instead
[03:19] <punkoleo> part #idle
[03:19] <glitsj16> spork969: isn't JUploadr a java app ? how do you actually start it ? (should be in the readme , i have only seen it once, don't use it myself)
[03:19] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: I'll check em out
[03:20] <VanessaE> I must have missed a step somewhere.
[03:20] <Algeris> VanessaE, a 6800 is not THAT fast
[03:20] <patrick_> VanessaE: tried the ubuntu forums or winehq to see what possible causes there are
[03:20] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[03:20] <patrick_> Algeris: that is nothing to do with what she is talking about
[03:20] <VanessaE> Algeris, true, but it's fast enough to run everything I've ever thrown at it, and in this case I'm only talking about a particular solitaire game.
[03:20] <spork969> glitsj16: the readme tells you to use ./jUploadr. that command works, but only when you are in the right directory. so i tried to use the cd command to get to the directory, and the rest is history.
[03:20] <Blaqlight> banisterfiend, use ALSA as your default sound rendering device.
[03:20] <zeeeee> totally unrelated question: is there a way to list all the most popular ppa's?
[03:21] <VanessaE> patrick_, yeah, I've been looking around but so far no good :-/
[03:21] <Algeris> VanessaE, explain to me your problem again since I just got here, might be able to help you
[03:21] <VanessaE> sure;
[03:21] <ReAn[Laptop]> hrm
[03:22] <glitsj16> spork969: okay thx, i still think you will need to adjust your cd command, relative to where your launcher is (~/Desktop i assume correct ?)
[03:22] <bbarton> Can anyone help me with my ftp server??????
[03:22] <VanessaE> I'm trying to get an old card game - double solitaire - working properly.  In Gentoo under Wine on this box, it was fast.  I switched to ubuntu, re-installed the game under ubuntu's wine, and the result is 10-15x slower than before.  Cards are being drawn slowly, jittery, flickery.
[03:22] <spork969> glitsj16: yes my launcher is on the desktop. so the command should be what?
[03:23] <Algeris> VanessaE, what card do you have?
[03:23] <VanessaE> the CPU usage gets divided evenly between Xorg and the game (100% while it is redrawing).
[03:23] <VanessaE> nVidia GF6800.
[03:23] <glitsj16> spork969: try cd /home/<username>/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386/jUploadr
[03:23] <xocite> VanessaE: perhaps because you compiled it w/ optimizations on Gentoo whereas Ubuntu just applies the default, iirc -02
[03:23] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: all the files appear to be identical. Should I try deleting the all but the one in etc? I could have sworn I read a thread stating that would help. Not positive. Still trying to find it...
[03:23] <VanessaE> Also affects my husband's box (identical, except with an nv4000 MX)
[03:24] <DarkAudit> I just did dpkg-reconfigure apt-build, and it did not add the line to my sources.list, even when it asked if I wanted to add it
[03:24] <Algeris> VanessaE, have you tried updateing the drivers? :)
[03:24] <VanessaE> xocite, I always used -O2 in Gentoo as well.
[03:24] <patrick_> xocite: that is what I was thinking
[03:24] <spork969> glitsj16: that directory does not exist.
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> hi
[03:24] <VanessaE> Algeris, I have.
[03:24] <patrick_> VanessaE: yeah but there may be very different defaults
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> somebody exerience conpiz deads?
[03:24] <VanessaE> Everything else seems to be behaving normally
[03:24] <xocite> VanessaE: have you tried compiling it?
[03:24] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting:Mythbackend_will_not_start_after_upgrade
[03:24] <glitsj16> spork969: correction, drop the cd part, you don't actually need it, so "/home/<fill-in-your-user-name>/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386/jUploadr"
[03:24] <Lokz> Hello, I'm new to ubuntu, I recently installed the server 2008 and I'm trying to connect to internet. Here's what I've tried so far : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27393/ . Did I miss something?
[03:24] <VanessaE> xocite, not yet.
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> compiz i mind
[03:24] <Algeris> VanessaE, xocite has a good point
[03:24] <DarkAudit> it should have put deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main in, but it didn't
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> compiz dead almost one time at day
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> i dont get why
[03:25] <Corkster> cause compiz is buggy thats why
[03:25] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: demons
[03:25] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: that thread seems to be describing my problem EXACTLY. Should I delete em all?
[03:25] <ReAn[Laptop]> hrm
[03:25] <spork969> glitsj16: there it is. thanks.
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: uh?
[03:25] <VanessaE> ok, compile it as one possible solution.  I can do that I think.  If that should turn out not to work, what would I do next?
[03:25] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: demons are messing with your compiz
[03:25] <ReAn[Laptop]> the unbuntu setup is ungodly slow for me, it's taking like 5+ minutes to select my keyboard layout
[03:25] <glitsj16> spork969: you're welcome
[03:26] <VanessaE> Direct rendering is turned on, both boxes using the proprietary driver

[03:27] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: yeah then you login from gdm
[03:27] <patrick_> that is normal
[03:28] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: even if i login from gdm dont start
[03:28] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: theres any workaround without restart?
[03:28] <patrick_> no that is not
[03:28] <ReAn[Laptop]> /dev/sd* are SCSI Disks right?
[03:28] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  not always.
[03:28] <ReAn[Laptop]> er, k

[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> if i have IDE drives
[03:29] <WalloO> Logrusmage, rm
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> it should show up as /dev/hd*
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> right?
[03:29] <Pici> ReAn[Laptop]: Due to the way things are handled internally, most disks show up as sda now, don't ask me for specifics
[03:29] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: you read me?
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> kk
[03:30] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: theres any workaround to avoid rebooting?
[03:30] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: yeah.. just having a look around

[03:30] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: sorry. :P thanks a lot

[03:33] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_:  you have also that troubles?
[03:33] <xocite> nownot: gnome isn't a shell
[03:33] <nownot> xocite: oh im just running ubuntu terminal
[03:33] <bigbadjesus__> !dialup | bigbadjesus__
[03:34] <bbarton> can someone please help me out?????
[03:34] <xocite> nownot: so you want the 22nd command to NOT be displayed because it has your password?
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> danmit
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> what partitions do i need for ubuntu?
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> 3 right? boot/main/swap
[03:34] <VanessaE> just two if you want (/ and swap)
[03:34] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  you dont really need a boot. / and swap.
[03:35] <nownot> xocite: no in my passworld *****!22** <-- my password. but i dont want to do the 22nd command b/c that messes up the input
[03:35] <xocite> ReAn[Laptop]: I would, /boot / /home /swap
[03:35] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: no not really generally has always worked well... but I would not always use compiz
[03:35] <VanessaE> and you can even get by without a separate swap partition if you want
[03:35] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  i normally leave a sectionof the hd unallocated. and let the installer partition as needed
[03:35] <VanessaE> (I use a file in /var for swap)
[03:35] <ReAn[Laptop]> dr_Willis: id use guided... but none of the options are what i want
[03:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> !es
[03:35] <nownot> xocite: i just want it to take my command with the !22 in it without running the 22nd command, like look over the fact it has !22
[03:35] <xocite>  My swap usually remains unused.
[03:35] <LetsGo67> test
[03:36] <xocite> nownot: I'm still a bit lost, sorry.
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> how much space should my swap be on a 1gb ram AMD64 4000+ ?
[03:36] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  no idea what ya want. :) I often just use 3 primary partitions / /home and swap.
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> 1gb?
[03:36] <VanessaE> I have a gig of RAM... I'd run without any swap if the OOM killer were a bit more reliable/
[03:36] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  if you want to suspend/hibernate - at least 1 gb.
[03:36] <VanessaE> (the kernel does *not* like it when you run out of physical RAM)
[03:36] <joe_electrician> ReAn[Laptop], if you have a lot of media files, given it its on partition, xfs or reiser is okay
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> it's a desktop
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> not laptop
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> dont want to suspend/etc...
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> but
[03:36] <xocite> VanessaE: OOM?
[03:36] <nownot> xocite: i have a command ./fooo -p *****!22** <- the **** is my password but it contains !22 which i do not want it to run teh 22nd commmand but it is
[03:36] <VanessaE> Out-of-Memory
[03:37] <ReAn[Laptop]> i will be playing movies / music / etc..
[03:37] <ReAn[Laptop]> so 1-2 gb is good?
[03:37] <patrick_> !enter ReAn[Laptop]
[03:37] <__yy> nownot: have you tried putting the password in single quotes, or escaping the ! like \! ??
[03:37] <patrick_> !enter | ReAn[Laptop]
[03:37] <nownot> __yy: no let me try
[03:37] <banisterfiend> what is OSS and what is ALSA and how do i switch, and why is OSS gay like that
[03:38] <joe_electrician> 1-2 gb of memory is fine
[03:38] <VanessaE> OSS as a sound driver subsystem is very old and generally considered obsolete.  ALSA is what replaced it.
[03:38] <xocite> nownot: put it in quotes?
[03:39] <LetsGo67> Comment partager des chansons avec Vista (à partir d'Xfce)?
[03:39] <joe_electrician> ALSA is able to play through HDMI, not sure any other sound system can
[03:39] <xocite> !fr | LetsGo67
[03:39] <blackghost> atftpd HELP ?\
[03:39] <CyberCod> Can someone tell me how to start up irssi in a different TTY screen at boot time?
[03:40] <blackghost> CAN SOMEONE  help me with atftpd
[03:40] <nownot> xocite __yy : seems to have worked, thanks
[03:40] <VanessaE> xocite, Algeris:  The only other change that has taken place is that I don't run this particular game on a separate X display anymore.
[03:40] <ReAn[Laptop]> both / and swap need to be Logical Partitions right? and what filesystem is simple and easy to use? reiserfs or ext3?
[03:41] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:41] <randal> vhow do i find what type of video card i have
[03:41] <xocite> CyberCod: that's not possible afaik without logging in on the particular tty
[03:41] <DG19075> ﻿ReAn[Laptop]:  Ubuntu uses ext3 by default...
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <xocite> VanessaE: you don't run compiz or anything similiar?
[03:42] <IdleOne> !patience > randal
[03:42] <xocite> randal: lspci
[03:42] <starn> does anybody know why when i use teamspeak i echo to every one to the point of them not understanding me? i have pulseaudio and ubuntu 8.04 i think i have this prob with other voice programs i am not sure for i can not hear my self only in teamspeak when useing local test..
[03:42] <Ahadiel> randal, lspci | grep VGA
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find my video card
[03:42] <IdleOne> randal, pay attention
[03:43] <Ahadiel> randal, You've been given 2 answers already.
[03:43] <VanessaE> xocite, nope, just plain old KDE
[03:43] <IdleOne> lspci | grep vga
[03:43] <xocite> randal: chill, alright?  your question has been answered
[03:43] <randal> i dont understand what to do
[03:43] <Ahadiel> randal, go to a terminal, and type lspci | grep VGA
[03:43] <joe_electrician> reiserfs is okay, i use it for media serving, but i prefer ext3 for system
[03:43] <IdleOne> randal, open a terminal window and type lspci | grep VGA
[03:44] <Sorlag> cant run *.bin files, why is that?
[03:44] <xocite> VanessaE: From what you have told me, there shouldn't be an issue.  I recommend "WINEDEBUG="all" /path/to/program and look at the output
[03:44] <Ahadiel> Sorlag, chmod +x blah.bin && /path/to/blah.bin
[03:44] <randal> IdleOne:  now how do i find drivers for it
[03:44] <Ahadiel> randal, You can start by telling us what video card it is
[03:44] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2?
[03:44] <IdleOne> randal, what card is it?
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne: lspci | grep
[03:45] <joe_electrician> Sorlag, *.bin files have to changed to executable and should be ran from command prompt
[03:45] <Ahadiel> -_-
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne:  typo sorry
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]
[03:45] <Ahadiel> randal, System => Admin => Restricted Drivers
[03:45] <IdleOne> !nvidia | randal  follow the link
[03:46] <IdleOne> randal, try what Ahadiel said first
[03:46] <randal> IdleOne: i cantfind restricted drivers
[03:46] <IdleOne> randal, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:47] <randal> 8.04
[03:47] <deltaray2> I have this system that grub seems to be messed up on, is there a way I can check it with dpkg?  On RedHat systems you can run rpm -V grub, is there an equivilent?
[03:47] <randal> IdleOne:  8.04
[03:47] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, I don't run Ubuntu myself (Archlinux ftw), so I could be off.
[03:47] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2? there support dint help and google isnt finding anything
[03:47] <RomanaMentalis> I just installed ubuntu server but I can't seem to make my Dell Poweredge boot into the Linux OS - "Hard drive C:" is in the boot sequence, but it keeps skipping by it like it didn't find anything there.  I have installed Ubuntu on a virtual raid1 disk w/2 HD's, there are 2 other HD's on the system with nothing installed on them.  Suggestions please?
[03:47] <bbarton> anyone who can offer some gproftp help???????
[03:47] <nickrud> randal hardware drivers instead of restricted drivers in 8.04
[03:47] <joe_electrician> odd, my ip on here reads different that what it really is.
[03:47] <IdleOne> randal, system > admin > hardware Drivers Ahadiel not by mych :)
[03:48] <DarkAudit> I did sudo apt-build install pan, and after pan finished compiling, apt went and installed the binary off the regular repositories. What did I miss here?
[03:48] <randal> its allready checked of it says its in use but its doing nothing
[03:48] <randal> IdleOne: its allready checked of it says its in use but its doing nothing
[03:48] <IdleOne> randal, what are you expexting it to do?
[03:49] <IdleOne> expecting*
[03:49] <Ahadiel> randal, glxinfo | grep rendering

[03:50] <IdleOne> pibe86, sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:50] <bogeyman> got a ? guys im trying to set my dns hooked direct to modem but every like 10 mins it keeps getting auto refreshed can i fix this and make it stick to a certain dns server?
[03:50] <Ahadiel> randal, And what problems do you have when trying to enable desktop effects?
[03:51] <pibe86> IdleOne: i did, but still beta5
[03:51] <randal> it wont enable
[03:51] <IdleOne> Ahadiel, he needs ccsm installed
[03:51] <randal> it sayshow do i do  that
[03:51] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, I thought Ubuntu came with default compiz?
[03:51] <banisterfiend> if i want to install ALSA to replace OSS, how do i do it? do i just apt-get a package, or do i have to recompile kernel? (im running linux mint elyssa, which is pretty much ubuntu)
[03:51] <IdleOne> I out. later folks. Ahadiel it does but for the fancy stuff you need ccsm
[03:51] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2? there support dint help and google isnt finding anything
[03:51] <randal> when i try to enable visural effects i get this message the composite extension is not avaiable
[03:52] <Sorlag> Thx Ahadiel, thx joe_electrician works now.
[03:52] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, Well yeah, but that's not the issue at hand :D
[03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> !es
[03:52] <Ahadiel> randal, Hold on
[03:52] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone having problems getting updates from the repositories?
[03:52] <randal> IdleOne: when i try to enable visural effects i get this message the composite extension is not avaiable
[03:52] <joe_electrician> Sorlag, yw, however forgot what I helped you with :)
[03:53] <bogeyman> how do u make a network config stick
[03:53] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:53] <Ahadiel> randal, Then once that's done, restart X
[03:53] <randal> i have installed envy
[03:53] <bogeyman> i think network manager keeps refreshing my dns servers
[03:53] <Lokz> bogeyman : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#ethernet
[03:53] <pibe86> IdleOne: how can i do and upgrade just in one application?
[03:53] <gerardoj> Does anybody knows how can I list all my other machines within my network using terminal?
[03:54] <Lokz> you'd need nmap or a network mapper i'd believe
[03:54] <RomanaMentalis> Any thoughts on why I cannot boot into the Ubuntu server installation I just installed?  The computer passes right by the install like it isn't even there.
[03:54] <randal> im install ing nvidia-xconfig
[03:54] <pyrourk> buenas a todos , hi to all
[03:54] <Lokz> bios>boot from cd?
[03:54] <randal> IdleOne: its installed now what
[03:54] <Ahadiel> randal, It comes with the nvidia drivers, just do sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot.
[03:54] <gerardoj> any clues?
[03:55] <randal> so i reboot right now
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> the bios is set to boot from A: drive, CD, then HD, then Network
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> it cycles through
[03:55] <VanessaE> ok, just checked - running the game on a separate X display doesn't change the speed appreciably.
[03:55] <Ahadiel> randal, yes
[03:55] <randal> ok
[03:55] <randal> ill brb in 2 min
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> but doesn't pick up anything on HD C:
[03:55] <bogeyman> ok i know how to add my dns servers that np its just they keep getting reset to the original every like 10 mins
[03:55] <Pici> randal: You may not be able to enable compiz on that card, it is a bit old.
[03:55] <bogeyman> cant u disable network manager?
[03:55] <bogeyman> and use my own settings
[03:55] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: it's installed?
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> I just finished the installation then rebooted
[03:55] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: if so you'll have to setup lilo to dual boot
[03:56] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, I personally perfer wicd, you may want to see if that can do it.
[03:56] <bbarton> Anyone at all willing to offer some help on gproftp??????????
[03:56] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: and you have windows also installed on your drive?
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patient | bbarton
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patientience | bbarton
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> it never had anything else installed on it
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> it's a brand new server
[03:56] <Ahadiel> -_-
[03:56] <Leefmc> Question: I need to add some paths to my system enviorment ($PATH), and pythons env, how can this be done?
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> i have 4 hd's 2 are combined into a virtual disk raid1 - that's where I installed Ubuntu
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patience > bbarton
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> the 2 other hd's are unused
[03:57] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: and it installed successfuly and when you reboot, what happens?
[03:57] <bogeyman> Ahadiel: what is that?
[03:57] <bogeyman> wicd
[03:57] <Joeseph> For some reason, sounds are coming out of my pc, and not my speakers, how do I change that?
[03:57] <__yy> Leefmc: export PATH=/path/to/add:/other/path/to/add:$PATH
[03:57] <bogeyman> where can i get it
[03:57] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, It's like networkmanager, except better.
[03:57] <bbarton> ubottu: i don't think i got any pvt msgs
[03:57] <Leefmc> __yy: thats the command i use?
[03:57] <bogeyman> will it disable network manager for me?
[03:57] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, You probably need to disable it yourself, let me find you a tutorial link.
[03:57] <bogeyman> bc i think network manager resets my dns servers on me
[03:57] <Leefmc> __yy: k, and any idea about python?
[03:57] <RomanaMentalis> Lokz: I believe it installed correctly, I saw no error.  When I reboot, the machine goes through the boot sequence, it lists the HD's present but doesn't boot from them,  the network boot fails.
[03:58] <bogeyman> and how do i get wicd?
[03:58] <__yy> Leefmc: sorry, I don't know how to do it in python
[03:58] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, sudo apt-get install wicd (I'd assume it's in the repos)
[03:58] <RomanaMentalis> At first I tried to install ubuntu on one of the other hd's but halted the installation part way and restarted an installation on the virtual disk
[03:58] <bogeyman> i tried that
[03:58] <randal> IdleOne: you made ut wirse
[03:58] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: no clue, sorry
[03:58] <bogeyman> didnt see it
[03:58] <Leefmc> __yy: np, i can do it in wing but i wanted to perma do it. Thanks :)
[03:58] <randal> IdleOne: you made it worse
[03:58] <bogeyman> spelling it wrong?
[03:58] <RomanaMentalis> lokz: think I should reinstall?
[03:59] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, does apt-cache search wicd return anything?
[03:59] <mkquist> any thoughts why firefox on one of my machines cant seem to load newegg?
[03:59] <randal> IdleOne:  my resolution is very low
[03:59] <Ahadiel> Leefmc, You can add it to .bashrc or /etc/profile
[03:59] <Joeseph> All of my music is coming from my pc, and not my speakers. How do I fix that?
[03:59] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: probably, try another drive?
[03:59] <randal> IdleOne:  you there
[03:59] <Ahadiel> randal, Change them with sudo nvidia-settings (possibly nvidia-xsettings)
[03:59] <bogeyman> nope
[03:59] <bogeyman> nothing
[03:59] <RomanaMentalis> Lokz:  can't I install ubuntu on a virtual disk Raid1?
[03:59] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Sec
[03:59] <bogeyman> Reading package lists... Done
[03:59] <bogeyman> Building dependency tree
[03:59] <bogeyman> Reading state information... Done
[03:59] <bogeyman> E: Couldn't find package wicd
[04:00] <FloodBot1> bogeyman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:00] <bbarton> I am being patient Ahadiel.... i've been here for some time and am just re-asking if someone could help...
[04:00] <randal> Ahadiel:  now what
[04:00] <fourChan> is it possible to install a clean version of ubuntu? without any software?
[04:00] <Ahadiel> randal, Change your resolution
[04:00] <Leefmc> Ahadiel: Add what, the command i was told? It doesn't perma set the path?
[04:00] <fourChan> is it possible to install a clean version of ubuntu? without any software?
[04:01] <patrick_> !repeat
[04:01] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wicd
[04:01] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: Depends where it is, if you can access to it via the network, yes but elseway I doubt it since you have nothing to emulate your virtual drive
[04:01] <Ahadiel> fourChan, Choose another distribution.
[04:01] <randal> Ahadiel: u cant
[04:01] <Kludge^PingedOut> GREETINGS from planet earth \o/
[04:01] <bogeyman> my repos are up to date
[04:01] <bogeyman> lol
[04:01] <fourChan> Ahadiel: that's horrible!
[04:01] <randal> Ahadiel:  i cant it wont let me
[04:01] <Fezzler> my login screen resolution is off
[04:02] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Then I guess they removed it for some reason -_-
[04:02] <Leefmc> __yy: Question then, is that export command permanent? Or is it just for the ubuntu session?
[04:02] <patrick_> fourChan: yes you can... you need the ubuntu-minimal iso
[04:02] <fourChan> patrick_: they do make one?
[04:02] <__yy> Leefmc: just for the session
[04:02] <fourChan> great, i haven't been able to find one
[04:02] <randal> Ahadiel:  my video card turned off after that
[04:02] <Kludge^WalesUK> any sexy ubuntu geeks available for help a partial n00b?
[04:02] <fourChan> oh wait, does the ubuntu minimal not have a GUI?
[04:02]  * Kludge^WalesUK hides
[04:02] <Ahadiel> randal, What?
[04:03] <patrick_> Ahadiel: you should not give definite answers to questions you do not know.
[04:03] <acrousey> How much RAM would you guys suggest for running Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop? It was running kind of slow with 256.
[04:03] <Leefmc> __yy: Actually n/m, seems i need to do more than the path anyway, i need to run a dif bash script. Which is a better place to put startup code then? .bashrc or /etc/profile ?
[04:03] <randal> Ahadiel: my video card turned off its not in use anymore after i restarted my computer
[04:03] <patrick_> fourChan: no
[04:03] <bobertdos> acrousey: 512 would be good, with a swap file, a gig would be better
[04:03] <__yy> .bashrc or .profile for per user stuff, /etc/profile for stuff that should be active for every user
[04:03] <randal> Ahadiel: i turned it on should i restart my computer
[04:03] <Kludge^WalesUK> is this a "free for all" asking channel?
[04:04] <patrick_> fourChan: you could use the alternate cd to install just the bits you want also
[04:04] <__yy> Leefmc: ^^ above was for you
[04:04] <Ahadiel> randal, I still don't understand what happened.
[04:04] <acrousey> bobertdos: a gig of RAM?
[04:04] <DarkAudit> what did I do wrong to have apt-build install download and install the precompiled binary off the main repos instead?
[04:04] <acrousey> would i be able to put that into an older Presario 5000?
[04:04] <fourChan> http://blogs.focuspoint-solutions.com/wiggythoughts/2007/09/minimal-ubuntu-desktop.html
[04:04] <fourChan> cool, huh?
[04:04] <bobertdos> acrousey: yeah, but actually, 512 with a swap file would work reasonably well
[04:04] <Leefmc> __yy: k, thank you. (Especially for saying my name, or i would have missed it :)
[04:04] <Kludge^WalesUK> i have a very `minimal` desktop ;)
[04:04] <bogeyman> Ahadiel: i found it i had to add the repo manually
[04:05]  * bogeyman went to the wicd site lol
[04:05] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Ah okay, good.
[04:05] <Ahadiel> :D
[04:05] <randal> Ahadiel: ok i installed what you tolled me restarted computer BAM resolution is at the lowest ut can get and i noticed my video card is now turned off (not in use)
[04:05] <acrousey> alrightt, I can find another 256 for $30 I think
[04:05] <Ahadiel> randal, If it's turned off then how do you see this?
[04:05] <Kludge^WalesUK> is anyone here reasonably adept at installing a "seedbox" (generalisation" on a minimal (terminal) installation of ubuntu ?
[04:06] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone having problems getting updates from the repositories?
[04:06] <J[a]WC> anyone know why opera would be using 1.1GB RAM?
[04:06] <randal> Ahadiel: in hardware drivers it says my videocard is not in use
[04:06] <Xavura> What version of openarena is in the repos?
[04:06] <Xavura> 7.6?
[04:06] <__yy> Kludge^WalesUK: the default install of ubuntu server would be a good place to start
[04:06] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony,  is acroread one of the updates?
[04:06] <gnomeuser^> Hey
[04:07] <gnomeuser^> I want to change the time displayed to UTC
[04:07] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, try the terminal
[04:07] <Sergeant_Pony> iplaythisgame: not sure, I'mm getting errors
[04:07] <randal> Ahadiel:  so now what do i restart my computer
[04:07] <Ahadiel> randal, Tell me again what happened when you tried to use nvidia-settings
[04:07] <gnomeuser^> before I used to right click on the time and would select UTC in preferences.. how to do it hardy ?
[04:07] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, are you using the gui update manager?
[04:07] <Sergeant_Pony> nod
[04:07] <acrousey> would I be able to create a Swap file with ubuntu or would I need to use a different OS? I think I could make it within PuppyLinux
[04:07] <Joeseph> I'm running ubuntuStudio, and sound is kinda important. Right now It's coming through my pc's built-in speakers, but I want them to come through to my external speakers. How Do I switch sound devices?
[04:08] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony,   in terminal   sudo apt-get update
[04:08] <gnomeuser^> anyone ?
[04:08] <gnomeuser^>  before I used to right click on the time and would select UTC in preferences.. how to do it hardy ?
[04:08] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, then sudo apt-get upgrade       that got me past some error in the acroread update yesterday
[04:08] <sparcdr> acrousey: you can use a swapfile
[04:08] <ReAn[Laptop]> Hrm, Ubuntu is making a very interesting light show on one of my two monitors, i assume this is linked to the fact that i have not enabled multi-monitors, so i guess my question is, how do i enable my 2nd monitor in ubuntu desktop?
[04:08] <Johnny> im trying to get these icons installed http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Red+Icons+for+GNU%2BLinux?content=84396
[04:09] <Johnny> so far nothing works
[04:09] <randal> Ahadiel:  after i did that i restarted my computer and my video card resoulution was set to like 800 by 800 something like that and my hardware driver says my video card is now not in use
[04:09] <Sergeant_Pony> iplaythisgame: ok, will have to go that route
[04:09] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: video chipset?
[04:09] <acrousey> sparcdr: can I create one while installing Ubunto Desktop?
[04:09] <sparcdr> acrousey: no but do you have 512mb ram?
[04:09] <Ahadiel> randal, When using sudo nvidia-settings, did you click "Save to xorg.conf" or something similar?
[04:09] <acrousey> sparcdr: not yet
[04:09] <sparcdr> oh so you have ?
[04:10] <acrousey> still only 256
[04:10] <ReAn[Laptop]> sparcdr: nVidia 7600
[04:10] <sparcdr> grab the alternative installer acrousey
[04:10] <randal> Ahadiel: it just looked like it installed something i didnt do anything
[04:10] <sparcdr> you need to use text-based installer, which is more advanced anyways
[04:10] <sparcdr> and takes less ram
[04:10] <Johnny> how do i get it so screenlets dont minimize from the show desktop button
[04:10] <randal> Ahadiel:  this is what haappond dawn@dawn-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[04:10] <randal> Reading package lists... Done
[04:10] <randal> Building dependency tree
[04:10] <randal> Reading state information... Done
[04:10] <randal> nvidia-settings is already the newest version.
[04:10] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:10] <randal> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[04:10] <Ahadiel> randal, Well do sudo nvidia-settings and modify your resolution!
[04:10] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone in here have a seedbox, i could do with some advice... I'm happy to idle, learn, and contribute here
[04:10] <Ahadiel> randal, I'm not asking you to INSTALL IT!
[04:10] <acrousey> sparcdr: does it run same/similar OS?
[04:10] <sparcdr> yes
[04:11] <randal> Ahadiel:  waa what do i do
[04:11] <sparcdr> the installer is easy it's just not gui
[04:11] <acrousey> oh
[04:11] <Ahadiel> randal, Well do sudo nvidia-settings and modify your resolution!
[04:11] <sparcdr> it uses dialogs you use tab to navigate and enter/space
[04:11] <acrousey> is it already on the CD?
[04:11] <sparcdr> no
[04:11] <sparcdr> i said it's the alternate iso
[04:11] <sparcdr> see the ubuntulinux website
[04:11] <acrousey> so I have to download it again?
[04:11] <sparcdr> you got the wrong one
[04:11] <randal> its says im not useing nivida x driver
[04:11] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, You could install Ubuntu Server Edition and use torrentflux. (That's about as far as I know.)
[04:11] <sparcdr> the alternative is for very old systems
[04:11] <randal> i think i need to restart my computer
[04:11] <acrousey> i got it from ubuntu's website
[04:12] <randal> Ahadiel:  i think i need to restart my computer
[04:12] <Ahadiel> randal, Pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:12] <sparcdr> typical users with 512mb can use the default one
[04:12] <Ahadiel> !paste | randal
[04:12] <sparcdr> you have to specifically get the alternative one
[04:12] <acrousey> it's Ubuntulinux that i want?
[04:12] <sparcdr> ill link you sir
[04:12] <sparcdr> yes
[04:12] <acrousey> thanks
[04:12] <randal> whats post bin
[04:12] <randal> how do you post bin

[04:13] <Kludge^WalesUK> does this channel ever stop scrolling? :P (yes i'm used to the speed)
[04:13] <sparcdr> acrousey: i assume that you have space already prepared right?
[04:14] <acrousey> yeah, i have an older 40 gig hard drive that I can easily reformat

[04:14] <bogeyman> ok one more ? whats the chmod to not allow read or write axx?
[04:15] <mavsman4457> Are there any good mac themes for ubuntu besides Mac4Lin?
[04:15] <acrousey> Luckily for me I have PuppyLinux which runs on RAM
[04:15]  * Kludge^WalesUK gets nekkid and races around the channel just to get some (unwanted) attention :P!
[04:15] <sparcdr> mavsman4457: not really
[04:15] <iplaythisgame> was gnome-look down earlier?
[04:15] <sparcdr> none of them will ever be accurate enough
[04:15] <Lokz> is it normal that old ata drive hangs at 33% while partition formating (creating ext3 file system 0,0,0)?
[04:15] <sparcdr> Lokz: no
[04:16] <sparcdr> Lokz: size?
[04:16] <Lokz> 13.5g
[04:16] <Lokz> OLD lol :P
[04:16] <sparcdr> Lokz: have you used another os on it recently?
[04:16] <Lokz> yea
[04:16] <puller_> bobertdos: hey
[04:16] <sparcdr> did you wipe everything first?
[04:16] <Lokz> no
[04:16] <Lokz> I did use the whole disk, and I assume it would reformat
[04:17] <randal> Ahadiel: you there
[04:17] <Lokz> assumed*
[04:17] <bobertdos> yes, puller?
[04:17] <sparcdr> yeah you're right but did you assign root /
[04:17] <bogeyman> whats the chmod for making a file non writable or readeable?
[04:17] <Ahadiel> randal, pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf as I said many times.
[04:17] <sparcdr> you need to use create then leave ext3 chose / for mountpoint make sure format is ticked
[04:17] <ryanakca> !wifi

[04:17] <Fezzler> How do I switch from my current nvidia driver to the "legacy" driver?
[04:17] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:17] <Lokz> sparcdr: kk will do
[04:18] <sparcdr> so click/select the ones there and use delete/remove and then clear off all then on free space create and do what I said
[04:18] <Lokz> so.. I just turn the power off?
[04:18] <Lokz> since it's stuck there
[04:18] <Ahadiel> !pm | bogeyman
[04:18] <randal> Ahadiel:  how do i paste bin
[04:18] <brrrrrradical> could somebody help me get my printer working...?
[04:18] <Ahadiel> !paste | randal for the last time.
[04:18] <unavailable> !paste | randal
[04:18] <bogeyman> thats sad cant help someone out lol
[04:19] <jasonago> is there a downloadable cd packages for kubuntu desktop so that we can avoid downloading seperate packages using adept???
[04:19] <puller_> anyoen know how to configure two finger scrollign on a touchpad?
[04:19] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, man chmod
[04:19] <randal> Ahadiel:  how do i use this service
[04:19] <iplaythisgame> randal, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/       paste in the contents of you file, then copy the url and paste that in here
[04:19] <sparcdr> jasonago: such as?
[04:19] <ReAn[Laptop]> I'm trying to install the nVidia Drivers for my video card, i've jumped into a terminal mode (CTRL+ALT+F5) but it wont start the install until X is killed, how can i turn off X so i can install my drivers?
[04:19] <jasonago> is there a downloadable cd packages for kubuntu desktop so that we can avoid downloading seperate packages using adept??? somewhat a compilation of all the neded packages to run kdeapps and some kde apps on a cd...
[04:20] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: you use the drivers provided by ubuntu
[04:20] <__yy> ReAn[Laptop]: you need to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:20] <sparcdr> not the official
[04:20] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], doesn't System --> Administration --> HArdware Drivers work for you?
[04:20] <__yy> ReAn[Laptop]: replace gdm with kdm if you use kde
[04:20] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone here have a seedbox at all?
[04:20] <sparcdr> if you login using the default there's an applet for hardware drivers you click it and check enable and itll download the nvidia drivers

[04:20] <brrrrrradical> :/
[04:20] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, Did you even read what I said before?
[04:20] <Kludge^WalesUK> oooh theres a command? WTF
[04:21] <iplaythisgame> lol randal is hopeless?
[04:21] <ReAn[Laptop]> MatthewV: I just went to nVidia and downloaded thier drivers... i've never done it any other way before
[04:21] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: no, i've been distracted by a troll ;(
[04:21] <brrrrrradical> now im trying to get my Epson Stylus C45 working via usb ... it seems to be recognised but won't print anything ... not even the test page
[04:21] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: no need with ubuntu
[04:21] <unavailable> randal go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and post the URL NOT THE CONTENTS OF THE PASTE
[04:21] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, I think you're trolling, but in anycase. Setup an ubuntu server and install torrentflux
[04:21] <Kludge^WalesUK> torrentflux is awful, tried it on a FREE server
[04:22] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], the recommended way to install nvidia drivers in ubuntu (and usually  most successful) is to use System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers... it's usually just a matter of checking a box and pressing OK then :)
[04:22] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, hey, it gets the job done.
[04:22]  * unavailable uses ktorrent
[04:22] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: it gets it done badly ;(
[04:22] <Kludge^WalesUK> unavailable: kTorrent was one of my choice, deluge seems as nice and has a good webui
[04:22] <VanessaE> ktorrent > *
[04:22] <ReAn[Laptop]> That's nice, in a way
[04:22] <VanessaE> :)
[04:23] <ReAn[Laptop]> it certantly simplifies the process but i wonder what limitations it puts on the user
[04:23]  * unavailable doesnt like deluge at all
[04:23] <Ahadiel> Doesn't deluge have a webui now?
[04:23] <randal> Ahadiel: did i do it right http://paste.ubuntu.com/27401/
[04:23] <Utalcn2me> i just plugged in a new samsung flat panel i just bought, wide 19", hardy set it up auto (14400x900) - now what do i do, i didn't even get to set it up :(
[04:23] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: i'm not sure i've tried kTorrent.... does it have a webui?
[04:23] <Leefmc> Question: I need to run a command at startup that appends path info, and other system related stuff. However, this needs sudo. Currently im storing it in .bashrc, but how do i call sudo from a script without the security risk of storing your password?
[04:23] <bogeyman> shit i did chmod -R 444 on a file how do i change that back so i can read that file again haha i didnt mean to set it so i cant ever read it again
[04:23] <ReAn[Laptop]> now i just have to figure out how to remove the lightshow on my left monitor and ill be happy
[04:23] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], I'd just give that a shot.. it does exactlyt the same thing as trying to install the drivers from nvidia (you end up with nvidia-settings installed and all that) but much easier
[04:23] <unavailable> randal yes
[04:23] <VanessaE> Kludge^WalesUK, eh?
[04:23] <unavailable> randal you posted the pastebin right
[04:23] <randal> Ahadiel:  now what
[04:24] <randal> ok
[04:24] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: does kTorrent have a webui (web interface) so you can access your machine from anywhere?
[04:24] <VanessaE> it has a built-in mini web browser and can search, if that's what you mean
[04:24] <unavailable> randal what are you trying to do
[04:24] <randal> to get my video card working
[04:24] <VanessaE> er, ktorrent is a bittorrent client, not a VNC client.
[04:24] <CoolFox> hey, anybody know how to install new GNOME themes?
[04:24] <Ahadiel> randal, Well, it looks like you're using the nvidia driver. Try rebooting I guess if sudo nvidia-settings isn't working.
[04:24] <CoolFox> or, more over, where to get them?
[04:24] <VanessaE> so probsbly not :-)
[04:24] <Ahadiel> VanessaE, He probably means access his torrents from anywhere -_-
[04:24] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: i know WHAT ktorrent is... i'm asking if it has a http daemon
[04:25] <iplaythisgame> i think i use nvidia-sconfig?
[04:25] <randal> Ahadiel: ill brb 2 min
[04:25] <VanessaE> er, probably
[04:25] <unavailable> randal and im assuming you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[04:25] <iplaythisgame> nvidia-xconfig i mean
[04:25] <bogeyman> hey Ahadiel if i did a chmod -R 444 on a file and now i cant take it back how am i suppost to be able to read it again
[04:25] <randal>  yes
[04:25] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, chmod 666
[04:25] <randal> a hundread times
[04:25] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone in here use rTorrent at all?
[04:25] <unavailable> randal and what did you do there?
[04:26] <Ahadiel> iplaythisgame, Sigh, I told him to do that a while back.
[04:26] <brrrrrradical> ﻿im trying to get my Epson Stylus C45 working via usb ... it has been configured properly (at least i thought so) and now cups just syas its not connected pr busy
[04:26] <brrrrrradical> or*
[04:26] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: do you torrent at all under ubuntu?
[04:26] <bobbob1016> Can someone tell me how to do a direct bit-for-bit image of a DVD?  I know it's a simple command, but I don't know it off hand
[04:27] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, I don't use Ubuntu, however I prefer Transmission for torrents.
[04:27] <Algeris> how can I view binary files with less, there's a sever that whenever I run less on a binary file i get some nice orderly elf header stuff
[04:27] <Algeris> cant duplicatr the same display on my ubuntu server edition
[04:27] <__yy> bobbob1016: should be something like dd if=/dev/devwhatever of=myimagefile
[04:27] <igors> hi all..is possible to create custom 'widgets' to add in my desktop panel?
[04:27] <iplaythisgame> Ahadiel, what distro u use?
[04:27] <Ahadiel> bobbob1016, dd if=/dev/yourdvddrive of=/home/<user>/blah.iso
[04:27] <unavailable> I have found transmission does not use my full connection
[04:27] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: not tried transmission yet, but a webUI would be nice... i can use VNC, but would like to use FreeNX really...
[04:27] <Ahadiel> iplaythisgame, Archlinux
[04:28] <unavailable> even with hundreds of seeds it still gets stuck at 150 k or so
[04:28] <Kludge^WalesUK> rTorrent with a webui, all the tutorials i've read (from an SSH standpoint) seem to be missing a lot of steps
[04:28] <randal> Ahadiel: my resolution is back to normall by visual effects still dont work
[04:28] <Leefmc> Question: According to a forum post i should add sudo startup commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local, however my sudo startup commands need to use cd ~/blah, but i dont want to break any scripts by putting them in a different directory. How do i store the current directory so i can cd back to it?
[04:28] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:28] <bobbob1016> __yy, Ahadiel, thanks I realized it was something with dd after I asked, but I couldn't look, wanted to start it right before I went to bed, thanks.
[04:29] <Kludge^WalesUK> BRB GGP (pizza of course) ;)
[04:29] <randal> Ahadiel:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:29] <Ahadiel> randal, What's wrong with you -_-
[04:29] <bogeyman> ok Ahadiel how do u make a file non writeable?
[04:29] <bogeyman> im doing chmod -w but its not working
[04:29] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Umm, let's see.
[04:29] <mikebot> Are the volume keys on my notebook supposed to work in Hardy?
[04:30] <randal> Ahadiel:  cant get visual effects to work
[04:30] <jediknight_c2k> hello
[04:30] <nickrud> Leefmc go ahead and do whatever cd you want, any other script will be running in it's own environment
[04:30] <unavailable> randal do you have compiz?
[04:30] <randal> or any desktop effects video card not working porperly
[04:30] <bogeyman> i want to make the resolv.conf non writeable so it cannot be changed
[04:30] <Ahadiel> randal, Did you run that command from the terminal?
[04:30] <iplaythisgame> randal, what kind of visual effects?
[04:30] <randal> yes
[04:30] <randal> yes
[04:30] <RobNyc> !vbox
[04:30] <Ahadiel> randal, And pastebin the output for me.
[04:30] <randal> NORmal  ones
[04:30] <randal> any ones
[04:30] <randal> NOTHING WORKS
[04:30] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:30] <Leefmc> nickrud: K, if i need sudo, is the rc.local better than /etc/profile? (Assuming /etc/profile even has sudo)
[04:30] <Leefmc> nickrud: How would you store the current dir though?
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Nonwriteable for who?
[04:31] <bobbob1016> __yy, Ahadiel, Just too bad there isn't a percentage, or something showing it is still working, apart from my DVD drive spinning...  thanks again
[04:31] <randal> IN APERANCE VISURAL EFFECTS DONT WORK
[04:31] <bogeyman> everyone
[04:31] <nickrud> Leefmc rc.local runs as root, you don't need sudo. and you could do   VARIABLE=$(pwd)
[04:31] <randal> soory for caps
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bob3213243, Uhh, there could be a verbose flag
[04:31] <Pici> !attitude | randal
[04:31] <bogeyman> i dont want that file to be changed from neone
[04:31] <unavailable> randal and you tried System > Preferences > Appearance  > Visual Effects ?
[04:31] <mikebot> Or rather, does Hardy support the use ofvolume keys on notebooks?
[04:31] <randal> i said sorry for caps
[04:31] <__yy> bobertdos: you could do watch ls -lh theimagefile in a terminal and watch the file grow if you wanted...
[04:31] <unavailable> rofl
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, You could just make root the owner.
[04:31] <unavailable> randal nvmnd
[04:32] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  my laptop volume keys work fine here under hardy.
[04:32] <randal> thats what i am haveing problems with i cant enable them
[04:32] <bogeyman> whats that do?
[04:32] <jediknight_c2k> i have a question but i'm REALLY new to the whole linux thing so please don't rip on me too bad!
[04:32] <Leefmc> nickrud: Ah thanks, i wasn't aware of the pwd command. And in regards to sudo, im asking if /etc/profile is better than rc.local for admin commands?
[04:32] <unavailable> randal you try the Compiz-fusion-icon?
[04:32] <bobertdos> __yy: I don't know why people are answering questions I'm not asking.
[04:32] <mikebot> dr_Willis: Did they work so when you first installed it?
[04:32] <Miksag1> hey, um, how do I make a user account which every user has access to?
[04:32] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, It means that only root (or the use of sudo) can access the file.
[04:32] <randal> i get the error the compasite extension is not aviable
[04:32] <randal> twhat do i do ith that
[04:32] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig && sudo reboot
[04:32] <nickrud> Leefmc /etc/profile is probably not the right place, it gets run for each login. If it's a one-time thing at boot, rc.local is better.
[04:33] <jords> Er.... something weird is going on. The mysql on my new ubuntu server install will accept a login with any username and no password, but not give any priviliges. More a problem, though, is that the only user you can actually login as and get priviliges is root - all the other users only login with no password even though i've set one for them, and don't get priviliges to do anything
[04:33] <jediknight_c2k> just downloaded a program and i have NO idea how to install it....
[04:33] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  Yes. My volume keys work better under linux, then they do under vista on my new laptop. They work fine on my older laptop also.
[04:33] <Leefmc> nickrud: K thank you.
[04:33] <unavailable> randal you can switch the window manager from metacity to compiz, see if thats the problem
[04:33] <randal> Ahadiel:  we tried that and it didnt work
[04:33] <bogeyman> it says it is the root as owner
[04:33] <mikebot> dr_Willis: Hrm, alright thanks. Do you know how I could figure out why mine aren't working?
[04:33] <Kludge^WalesUK> any rTorrent users lurking?

[04:33] <bogeyman> but how come my ns servers get changed about every 20 mins
[04:33] <Leefmc> nickrud: For reference though, is /etc/profile root? (admin, sudo, etc)
[04:33] <bogeyman> i got network manager removed
[04:33] <bogeyman> dns*
[04:33] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  not a clue. Ubuntu is one of the best distros ive seen for detecting/using special keys.
[04:33] <Ahadiel> randal, As Pici said a whiel back, maybe your card is just too old for visual effects.
[04:34] <randal> its old
[04:34] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, generally programs in ubuntu are best installed from the repositories (see Applications --> Add/Remove... and System --> Administration --> Synaptic) what program are you trying to install/
[04:34] <unavailable> randal yah, what card do u have?
[04:34] <randal> but it shouldnt be this bad
[04:34] <jediknight_c2k> any reccomendations?
[04:34] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Maybe it's your router.
[04:34] <mikebot> dr_Willis: OK, well, thanks. Cheers.
[04:34] <nickrud> Leefmc none of the above. It's a shell environment setup thingy, it gets sourced whenever you login, for any user.
[04:34] <randal> windows xp had beter visural effects

[04:35] <bogeyman> i can get that
[04:36] <randal> things
[04:36] <joe_electrician> bogeyman, e.g., nslookup my.isp.com

[04:36] <jediknight_c2k> google earth

[04:39] <spiritssight> it appers that the update manger is The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems.

[04:39] <nickrud> mnemo isn't tnt2 the chip set? (not real hot on nvidia)
[04:39] <iplaythisgame> spiritssight, was there an update to acroread that caused that?
[04:39] <mneptok> randal: "I don;t know what hardware I own, but MAKE IT GO!" isn;t really helpful ;)
[04:40] <spiritssight> I don't think so as I don't have that installed
[04:40] <randal> its a nivida gpu
[04:40] <randal> 1 sec ill tell you what it is
[04:40] <nickrud> spiritssight do   sudo apt-get update , that will give you better error messages
[04:40] <mneptok> randal: that's better. now, which of nVidia's many chipsets does it use?
[04:40] <iplaythisgame> spiritssight,  u got the medi repo installed?
[04:40] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, ok, type in 'cd ~/Desktop' without the ' symbols, then hit enter, followed by a 'chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin' and then 'sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin'
[04:41] <dr_Willis> jediknight_c2k,  i do belive that googleearth is in the medibuntu repositories.
[04:41] <spiritssight> I don't really know I am very new to all this

[04:44] <jediknight_c2k> call me old fashioned but i want to know how to make it work myself :P
[04:44] <mneptok> jediknight_c2k: just use GOOGearth? ;)

[04:44] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: sudo -i
[04:44] <dr_Willis> jediknight_c2k,  using the repositories is the right way. :)
[04:44] <randal> im installing it already
[04:45] <Debian_Noobie> does anyone know where the file is that locks the camera when mounted?
[04:45] <jediknight_c2k> thanks
[04:45] <Leefmc> nickrud: No luck, any idea where else i could put it?
[04:45] <unavailable> randal read the last set of paragraphs
[04:45] <nickrud> Leefmc what are you doing?
[04:45] <iplaythisgame> do you have to add root to the passwd to use sudo -i?
[04:45] <randal> do i copy that code somewhere
[04:45] <nickrud> iplaythisgame no, just use your regular password.
[04:46] <justdweezil> who whould i ask a question about moving ubuntu from livecd to a harddisk install?
[04:46] <Leefmc> nickrud: Running a script for an app. Not sure all of what it does, but it adds to the system path, etc. Now assuming it worked, the system path addition didnt stick. When i echo $PATH i do not see its modifications
[04:46] <Debian_Noobie> !gphoto
[04:46] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, if you want to use the medibuntu repos, follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu on adding those repositories and then just install the googleearth package using synaptic or terminal
[04:46] <iplaythisgame> nickrud, so why does just about every how to for installing recommend doin sudo passwd root?
[04:46] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: however, I do want to stress that it is preferable to minimize the time you're in root. stupid mistakes happen.
[04:46] <randal> i dont understand do i repplace my moitor code in there and use that code
[04:46] <Awsoonn> justdweezil:  ask away
[04:46] <jediknight_c2k> any recommended reading for learning linux?
[04:46] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  a script normally can not 'export' variables back to the parent process.
[04:47] <iplaythisgame> nickrud, i gues im asking are there restrictions to sudo -i?
[04:47] <nickrud> Leefmc Determining what it's doing is critical for determining what goes where ;).
[04:47] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Argh, how the hell do they want me to run it. Grr
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> !info gphoto2 | Debian_Noobie
[04:47] <Megaqwerty> iplaythisgame: because those howtos aren't good?
[04:47] <Debian_Noobie> !I could best describe it similar to a lock that xserver uses while user is logged in to gnome
[04:47] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  no idea what you are trying to do.. so i cant answer. :) you could 'source' the script.
[04:47] <iplaythisgame> Megaqwerty, lol
[04:47] <spiritssight> nickrud did you get the link
[04:47] <nickrud> iplaythisgame no, sudo -i gives you the equivalent of   su - .  sudo passwd root enables logging into the root account by giving it a usable password
[04:47] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  source /path/to/script
[04:47] <Debian_Noobie> what is that ubottu?
[04:47] <nickrud> spiritssight no, I missed it
[04:47] <unavailable> randal     sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.7.14.08 && sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:47] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Yea
[04:48] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  thats not 'quite' the same as runnign it. :)
[04:48] <Megaqwerty> iplaythisgame: they're probably used to using root on other distributions, so they are used to using that insecure method of gaining root access.
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: I actually was intending to, i neglected that, perhaps thats why?
[04:48] <nickrud> spiritssight oh, the first one, with the error? Yes, I did
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well they intend you to source it
[04:48] <kathleen> I have via_rhine nic that keeps training up at 100tx... but it is a gig..
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: or so i read
[04:48] <kathleen>  mii-tool -F 1000baseTx
[04:48] <kathleen> Invalid media specification '1000baseTx'.
[04:48] <mneptok> a root password should not be set on an Ubuntu system
[04:48] <jediknight_c2k> i like making stupid mistakes though...  i seem to learn more by messing things up than by doing it right...
[04:48] <Blaqlight> ubottu is self deprecating. interesting that a bot should be capable of such "human-like" actions.
[04:48] <mneptok> full stop.
[04:48] <kathleen> why is that invalid?
[04:48] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  i think one often sees . path/to/script  instead of source /path/to/thing
[04:48] <nickrud> spiritssight the problem is how the cdrom was added; we need to fix a file.  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , copy the contents to the pastebin and give me the link
[04:48] <Debian_Noobie> I hear that jedi
[04:48] <spiritssight> correct :-(
[04:48] <Debian_Noobie> will toast to that claim
[04:48] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: still, I would recommend sticking with just typing sudo as much as possible
[04:49] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well technically, i need to cd to that dir because the script needs me to be there
[04:49] <unavailable> then copy paste your monitor section into the new xorg.conf that you will paste over everything in gedit and save
[04:49] <jediknight_c2k> i see where you're coming from
[04:49] <mneptok> unavailable: bad advice on Hardy
[04:49] <VanessaE> ah ubottu is just biding his time until the machines take over. :-)
[04:49] <mneptok> unavailable: Hardy discourages editing of xorg.conf
[04:49] <nickrud> Leefmc what I would do with the path is make the path addition to /etc/environment
[04:49] <dr_Willis> VanessaE,  shhhh.. they allready have...
[04:49] <randal> ITS NOT WORKING
[04:49] <Debian_Noobie> i learned the most from this os from my own errors
[04:49] <VanessaE> heh

[04:50] <randal> this is hopeless
[04:50] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  i would think it would be best to set the PATHS in the proper profile/bashrc/other files. Not in rc.local  depending on what/why you are setting them.
[04:50] <Leefmc> nickrud: Well the script needs to be run no matter what, and it appends to the path anyway, so i'd essentially be adding to the path twice i think
[04:50] <randal> would envy be messing all this up
[04:50] <mneptok> unavailable: you *can* edit xorg.conf. that doesn't mean you *should*.
[04:50] <mneptok> randal: yes it would
[04:50] <nickrud> Leefmc without knowing what it's doing, I can't give you any more advice
[04:50] <randal> what
[04:51] <randal> now im rely mad
[04:51] <randal> now what
[04:51] <mneptok> randal: you can't use Envy.
[04:51] <unavailable> mneptok thats why i told him to      sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.7.14.08 && sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:51] <randal> well i was told to
[04:51] <randal> as a last hope
[04:51] <unavailable> mneptok so he has a bakup
[04:51] <justdweezil> if i have an error window that keeps popping up when i click 'okay' (the only option) how can i force quit it?
[04:51] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well im not setting the paths, they are, but im not going to start hacking their scripts hehe :). I'll try the rc.local source, and see if it works
[04:51] <unavailable> jic
[04:51] <mneptok> randal: your chipset is ~10 years old. Envy is for using the latest and greatest nVidia drivers.
[04:51] <randal> i think it made it worse tho
[04:51] <reduz> QUESTION: At home and office i upgraded from ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04, and now both computers crawl to death and keep swapping all the time, something that didn't happen before. Pentium-D and X2 , both dual core, any hint?

[04:52] <randal> what do i do now
[04:52] <mneptok> randal: instead of apologozong, just don't use caps.
[04:52] <nickrud> reduz you upgraded directly from 7.04 to 8.04? If so, clean install
[04:52] <randal> what do i do
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> randal: well, you know what they about advice, trust but verify, you didn't do the latter
[04:52] <randal> is it hopeless
[04:52] <mneptok> randal: you boot to recover mode and use xfix
[04:52] <hackel> Using Brasero to burn an audio CD takes 30 minutes (2x speed!) and uses 100% CPU (50% of dual-core).  What might I be doing wrong here?
[04:52] <Debian_Noobie> not sure reduz, what are the errors when pressing esc during start up
[04:52] <Debian_Noobie> check the startup log reduz
[04:52] <reduz> nickrud, really? is it because of a problem? I mean i also upgraded to 7.04 without any issue
[04:52] <randal> howablout i reinstall ubuntu and try this agian tomarop
[04:52] <nickrud> mneptok is xfix documented anywhere?
[04:53] <reduz> Debian_Noobie, there are supposed to be errors?
[04:53] <unavailable> mneptok can he apt-get remove envy --purge ?
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> not generally
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> but i got one last week with a bad hard drive
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> ata 4 error
[04:53] <randal> would it work to reinstall ubuntu and do this tomaro ive been at this 8 hours
[04:53] <nickrud> reduz upgrades are only supported from one release to the next, like 7.04 to 7.10. Then upgrade to 8.04.
[04:53] <unavailable> randal i dont see why not
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> which was the port it was plugged into at the time
[04:53] <randal> why not what
[04:53] <randal> tthats a good idea
[04:53] <unavailable> randal starting with a clean slate is always best
[04:53] <nickrud> reduz it's just too hard to cover all possible use cases over that big a change
[04:54] <randal> i got so much stuff i dont think i need installed
[04:54] <reduz> nickrud, ah maybe i meant 7.10, i'm sure i was up to date before hardy came out
[04:54] <randal> ok
[04:54] <Debian_Noobie> use the text based most for startup
[04:54] <mneptok> unavailable: ja, but it might not clean up its config mess on the way out the door
[04:54] <ReAn[Laptop]> i read somewhere that Ubuntu supported Active Directory, as in, i could add my machine to AD and log on as an AD Username, is this true?

[05:00] <jasonago> i have a slow net connection at home so I can't download some kde apps because kdelibs and dependencies are huge...what I'm doing right now is 1) install qemu on windows here at our office where net is very fast...2) install ubuntu virtually...3) download my packages...4) get the deb files on the /var/cache/apt/archives and save it on flash drive...5)transfer it to my pc...hahaha.......
[05:00] <spiritssight> nickrud: it says some thing about libpciaccess0
[05:00] <nickrud> spiritssight we'll get to that, first lets deal with the sources.list. Nothing will work the way it should until that is fixed
[05:00] <unavailable> jasonago well i pay for a 3mb line but get 30 mb
[05:00] <jasonago> note that I cant install ubuntu here so I'm installing it virtually...and secretly...
[05:01] <spiritssight> nickrud, the list thing is finished, I have edit and saved the file
[05:01] <Debian_Noobie> well now we all know
[05:01] <Debian_Noobie> your secret is exposed
[05:01] <nickrud> spiritssight ok, now run    sudo apt-get update , see if there are any errors

[05:02] <kcman> i am wondering if anyone knows of a driver package for my graphics card i cant seem to find one
[05:02] <unavailable> kcman if you would tell us your graphics card im sure something can be dug up
[05:02] <nickrud> spiritssight ok, get your mythbuntu disk, then with it not in the cdrom drive, run  sudo apt-cdrom add .  The drive will open, and then you put in the disk and close the drawer

[05:03] <magichere> hi,guys , How to driver HDMI audio with nvidia graphic card ?
[05:03] <Nihilam> Have a potentially silly question. When I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04, my console/terminal (non-gui) began to display the ncurses colors incorrectly; to wit, far dimmer than they should (and do, under Konsole/KDE) appear. Can someone help me understand the discrepancy?
[05:03] <Debian_Noobie> check the ati site for a driver?
[05:03] <kcman> unavailable all that comes up in the conf is generic or some crap nothing labeled driver
[05:04] <unavailable> kcman  lspci | grep VGA
[05:04] <Debian_Noobie> nvidia had a driver for their cards
[05:04] <kcman> unavailable terminal those?
[05:04] <spiritssight> nickrud:  I have done that now
[05:04] <unavailable> kcman thats one terminal command
[05:04] <kcman> unavailable sorry i will do that now one second please
[05:04] <nickrud> spiritssight it should be scanning the drive, checking what packages are available on the disk.
[05:04] <unavailable> ok

[05:06] <Debian_Noobie> kill or term command just
[05:06] <Debian_Noobie> kill, sorry
[05:06] <bogeyman> tried that but afterwards i can still write to it

[05:06] <bogeyman> ye u need sudo
[05:07] <bogeyman> but i still can write to it afterwards
[05:07] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: post the output of: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf

[05:07] <unavailable> kcman http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=7200
[05:07] <spiritssight> nickrud: done with that one
[05:07] <nickrud> spiritssight in this case, the -f means fix, that is, check for errors and fix any it found.
[05:08] <nickrud> spiritssight now, just for luck,   sudo dpkg --configure -a

[05:08] <nickrud> spiritssight that means configure -a (all) things that aren't completely configured correctly
[05:08] <spiritssight> nickrud: done with both of the last two
[05:09] <nickrud> spiritssight you should be good to go now.
[05:09] <Nihilam> Anyone have experience with the vga console mode?
[05:09] <spiritssight> nickrud: the last one gave no output

[05:09] <bogeyman> so is that good Megaqwerty
[05:09] <bogeyman> ?
[05:09] <nickrud> spiritssight that's good :) Generally no output means successful completion.

[05:11] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: I don't think it's possible to restrict root from doing anything...at least, I can't think of any way.
[05:11] <nickrud> spiritssight you ran   sudo apt-get upgrade ? If not, run that, and put the complete error up
[05:11] <Debian_Noobie> must be your jack on your pc
[05:11] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: I guess you're going to actually find the root of the problem instead of hacking your way to a solution ;)
[05:12] <Debian_Noobie> could have it hooked up incorrectly
[05:12] <darksidedelayue> It is not the jack on my pc for it worked just fine when I had vista running
[05:12] <darksidedelayue> and laptop*

[05:12] <darksidedelayue> done
[05:12] <bogeyman> well i change my dns servers in that file and somehow ubuntu keeps changing em back after like 20 mins

[05:13] <Debian_Noobie> yours may be different
[05:13] <darksidedelayue> Debian, it is not a volume issue.
[05:14] <spiritssight> nickrud: you know this all started I think becuase I am trying to get my TV to work
[05:14] <bogeyman> it is set from there bc that file reads the resolv.conf
[05:14] <johny> is there anyone to help me out in installing  Network simulator in ubuntu
[05:14] <bogeyman> ive set it there many many times and after a certain its back to normal
[05:14] <nickrud> spiritssight that's probably because of your personal package archive entries in the sources.list. (xorg-edgers, that scares me just a little bit ;)
[05:14] <amirman> zchef2k: what happens exactly?
[05:14] <newb> hi all
[05:14] <spiritssight> I was told do that
[05:14] <davidrawson_> does anyone know how to use the cdrecord command in the terminal?
[05:15] <nickrud> spiritssight do  apt-cache policy xorg-server-core , and put the output on the pastebin
[05:15] <zchef2k> i can spawn it from the terminal, but it doesnt spwan again if the wm is reset
[05:15] <spiritssight> I don't have a clue, I just trying to get TV working :-)
[05:15] <newb> I'm new to ubuntu, and I need help
[05:15] <jbroome> davidrawson_: cdrecord -dao -eject -data <isofile>
[05:15] <johny> hi newb
[05:15] <newb> on how to change firewall policies using firestarter
[05:15] <johny> tell me what do u want to know
[05:15] <zchef2k> i set compiz --replace from the terminal and it survives the restart
[05:15] <davidrawson_> yea, but it keeps saying cannot open scsi driver
[05:15] <newb> hi johny
[05:16] <davidrawson_> jbroome, it keeps saying "Cannot open scsi driver"
[05:16] <spiritssight> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d5d810857
[05:16] <davidrawson_> and i use scanbus
[05:16] <newb> I'm unable to add new policies using firestarter, the policies options (buttons) are all grayed out
[05:16] <zchef2k> i have found very little online regarding this
[05:16] <newb> How can I change that?
[05:16] <davidrawson_> does anyone know where ubuntu keeps all the documentation files?
[05:17] <jbroome> davidrawson_: /usr/share/doc/
[05:17] <nickrud> spiritssight sorry, brain fart.    apt-cache policy  xserver-xorg-core
[05:17] <johny> hey newn click on my name and chat with me
[05:17] <davidrawson_> thanks jbroome
[05:17] <johny> hey newb click on my name and chat with me
[05:17] <Flannel> johny: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting, thanks.
[05:17] <Debian_Noobie> awsome
[05:18] <nickrud> davidrawson_ also, man <command> or man <configfile> often has a lot of useful documentation
[05:18] <spiritssight> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d24cac88a
[05:19] <amirman> zchef2k: what i do is just add emerald --replace to my sessions, so that it starts up when i load up the system
[05:20] <zchef2k> amirman , lemme give a shot
[05:20] <spiritssight> nickrud: did you get the link?
[05:20] <amirman> zchef2k: wait i think i know what you mean, when you switch WMs it doesnt stay attached to compiz, so if you switch back to a simple WM and then back to compiz it makes you run emerald --replace again, is that right?
[05:20] <davidrawson_> are there any ubuntu applications capable of writing multisession discs?
[05:20] <davidrawson_> such as data/audio audio/data
[05:20] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_: I believe k3b can
[05:21] <amirman> are there any applications for ubuntu that will let me compress dvd data prior to burning? i have a 7 GB iso but my disc drive will only do one layer.
[05:21] <nickrud> spiritssight quite possibly the archive is in an unstable state, that is, it's in the midst of being built and they are not all in sync yet. PPA's are not the most stable things in the world
[05:21] <zchef2k> amirman , right, but its really only kde at this point as im not using anything else, but no, its not staying connected
[05:21] <nickrud> spiritssight who told you to use the ppa?
[05:21] <amirman> zchef2k: i'm using gnome so i couldnt tell you for sure, sorry
[05:22] <davidrawson_> and i also need it to leave out a 16 byte sector for a bootloader
[05:22] <Reformer81> amirman: Look into DVD rippers... they can rip to any quality.
[05:22] <spiritssight> a person in the radeon IRC, he said he had not done it before but it may get the TV working
[05:22] <Reformer81> amirman: I'm afraid I don't remember the name of the one I used to use, but if you search the repos for a dvd ripper, you'll find one.
[05:22] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_: I'm not sure how, but k3b is quite the powerhouse when it comes to disk burning
[05:22] <nickrud> spiritssight ah. Well.
[05:22] <unavailable> xchat : how do i make it so it opens a link by single left click
[05:22] <davidrawson_> cool
[05:22] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_:  so you have a good chance of being able to do it.
[05:22] <davidrawson_> ok
[05:23] <mkquist> amirman: dvd95
[05:23] <davidrawson_> and for mounting iso files, i just need to use the mount command, right, no daemon tools
[05:23] <davidrawson_> ?
[05:23] <Flannel> !mount | davidrawson_
[05:23] <Flannel> er, sorry.
[05:23] <Flannel> !iso
[05:23] <davidrawson_> ok
[05:23] <davidrawson_> thank you guys
[05:23] <spiritssight> nickrud: could I PM you, could you help with geting TV working for a ATI (I know) radeon mobilie M52 x1300
[05:23] <pen> besides the widget factory, is there a gdm previewer for gnome?
[05:24] <nickrud> spiritssight You have a couple of options, one is easy, and may work, the second is very difficult unless you're really familiar with how packaging works. The first is simply waiting and hoping the archive stabilizes, the second is manually resetting packages.
[05:24] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: you there at all? mysqlcheck is telling me user "mythtv@localhost" is being denied access using password:YES) could this be the problem?
[05:24] <nickrud> spiritssight I've never used a tv out on an ati. No real clue how it's done
[05:24] <amirman> Reformer81: mkquist: thanks
[05:24] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: yes, absolutely
[05:25] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: thats why i was saying change the password for that user and update it in the backend settings etc
[05:25] <nickrud> spiritssight and if I may, you should be careful about using advice from someone who says they've never done it themselves
[05:25] <spiritssight> nickrud: the tv card is a wintv but it some thing with my DRM / xv that is not letting it work
[05:25] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: so how do I fix this, exactly? Thread I'm looking at says reinstall mysql?
[05:25] <spiritssight> learn and live :(
[05:26] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: or should I actually change the password in the file and in the settings?
[05:26] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: well u could do that, or u could just login to the mysql console as root and do it
[05:26] <nickrud> spiritssight how old is this install?
[05:26] <arooni_____> full screen mode on youtube doesnt work for me on ff3 on my ubuntu hardy desktop; although it works on my laptop.  it doesnt work because i hit full screen and it flashes to full screen for a second, then immediately exits.  i have a nvidia geforce 7300 glx grahpics card.  what should i do?
[05:26] <Lokz> hmmm I'm having problem connecting to my router to get an internet connection using eth0 on a ubuntu server (2008)... I've tried pretty much everything I know. Here have a look : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27393/ Did I miss something?
[05:26] <spiritssight> about 2 - 3 weeks
[05:26] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: and I do that... how? Sorry... I'm new at this :(
[05:26] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: I imagine that if u do mysql -u root on the command line it takes u straight to the mysql cli, unless u have set a root password yet
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: not that new :P. On that now.
[05:27] <nickrud> spiritssight do you have /home on a separate partition? (and yes, I'm working around to suggesting a fresh install to fix this package mixture failure, if the ppa doesn't stabilize soon)
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: errr access denied...
[05:27] <spiritssight> nickrud: its about 2-3 weeks old I came over from windows, once I get this thing running then I will try and understand it more, my gf wants to watch TV and use composit connect fro video phone
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: maybe I am that new?
[05:27] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok, so now u need to update the password for the user mythtv@localhost
[05:27] <ReAn[Laptop]> how do i restart ntpdate? the guide im using sais /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart but there's no ntpdate there
[05:28] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: root used password:NO
[05:28] <nickrud> spiritssight all things I've never done, so have no advise to offer
[05:28] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: so what do I do?
[05:28] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='mythtv@localhost'
[05:28] <madrazr> I created 2 logical volumes in a volume group yesterday, each with capacity 60 GiB and added the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab, but it always mounts with write and execute permissions to root, can someone help me?
[05:28] <newb> Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?
[05:28] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: Are you using ntpd or ntpdate?  its likely /etc/init.d/ntpd  or ntp-server instead
[05:28] <pen> besides the widget factory, is there a gdm previewer for gnome?
[05:28] <spiritssight> nickrud: I don't have /home on its on part
[05:29] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: all that in the terminal?
[05:29] <spiritssight> nickrud: I don't have much on the system any how
[05:29] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  in the mysql cli, and u need to substitute the password that u want
[05:29] <samalex> hi everyone ...
[05:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> Flannel: there's only 2 items in /etc/init.d that start with n: networking and nvidia-kernel
[05:29] <Prez00> i am running hardy and just compiled 2.6.25 kernel, and sometimes it boots up to a black screen instead of X login screen.  I can ctrl-alt-f1 and in the dark can reboot machine, so it is running... after I restart machine it'll sometimes come to regular graphical login and everything normal.  happened as well with other custom kernel, any ideas what modules I should look for that might cause this intermittent failure?
[05:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> and i do have ntpdate installed
[05:29] <kcman> unavailable could do any of this page for my graphics card hurt my gnome?
[05:29] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: DO I replace PASSWORD or ('Password')?
[05:30] <Prez00> sorry, i meant i just compiled 2.6.26
[05:30] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: You're using ntpdate instead of ntpd then.  That's a cronjob instead of a daemon (ntpdate is the one that changes it in one go, instead of incrementally fixing the time like ntpd)
[05:30] <newb> ﻿Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?  if you have the answer PLZ IM me!
[05:30] <nickrud> spiritssight I'd back up home, use !clone instructions (I'll give them to you in a sec, it simplifies getting back your package selection, and no, it won't look for the ppa ;)
[05:30] <nickrud> !clone | spiritssight
[05:30] <MasterShrek> Prez00, the ubuntu kernel has patches from the vanilla kernel (which im assuming is where you got 2.6.26 from) i dont know if things act very nice when the patches arent there
[05:31] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:?
[05:31] <ReAn[Laptop]> Flannel: I only care cuz im working on getting my computer working with AD, the guide im using asks me to restart the service... and when i try to auth w/ my AD it sais im out of sync, so it hasn't responded to my changes
[05:31] <MasterShrek> Prez00, i mean it is a patched version of the regular kernel

[05:31] <bogeyman> ty so much Megaqwerty
[05:31] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: u replace the one in quotes
[05:31] <madrazr> ﻿ I created 2 logical volumes in a volume group yesterday, each with capacity 60 GiB and added the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab, but it always mounts with write and execute permissions to root, can someone help me?
[05:31] <ReAn[Laptop]> how would i get ntpdate to restart or wake up and re-read it's config and match my date
[05:31] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: no problem.
[05:31] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: ty
[05:32] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: also, I think it was DHCP that was replacing those entries just fyi.
[05:32] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: with anything or with the password that's already set by MythTV?
[05:32] <spiritssight> I don't have much stuff on here, I don't care about installing again, its the drivers for the wintv and my video that I am have so much trouble with
[05:32] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: You can use ntpd instead, which I recommend: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html  that also covers ntpdate as well
[05:32] <bogeyman> lol it was getting on my nerves
[05:32] <bogeyman> like every 20 mins it would reset
[05:32] <Prez00> MasterShrek: got it..hmmm, will try and find those patches, but seems to me to be a video driver issue, maybe i am just missing something in my custom config..
[05:32] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: either choose one, or use the same one that is show in mythtv backend settings
[05:32] <spiritssight> I need to get the TV running then the rest can take time but the TV need to be able to run
[05:32] <unavailable> dcman wat was the link again ? i lost it
[05:33] <unavailable> kcman wat was the link again ? i lost it
[05:33] <MasterShrek> Prez00, is there a specific reason you dont want to use the ubuntu kernel? you could custom compile the already patched kernel that you should have
[05:33] <bogeyman> ty for everything peace guys gl
[05:33] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: happy to help. Have a good night/day (depending on where you are on earth)
[05:33] <nickrud> spiritssight no advice on the tv, sorry. Maybe someone else who's actually done it will pas through.
[05:33] <spiritssight> nickrud: what about video card stuff?

[05:34] <nickrud> spiritssight basic stuff, mostly. My strengths don't run towards hardware

[05:35] <kernel_ghost> on one line
[05:35] <spiritssight> do you mind me adding you on my IRC user list thingy
[05:35] <Xavura> and I want some software to record the input
[05:35] <kcman> unavailable the only reason i ask is because this page is from a year ago or so now and there might just be an easier way
[05:35] <nickrud> spiritssight not at all, I'm here far too often anyway ;)

[05:36] <Xavura> this channel moves too fast
[05:36] <Xavura> how can anyone possibly get help in this
[05:36] <madrazr> !lvm2
[05:36] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: if its feasible for u, u might find it easier to use phpmyadmin or mysql administrator tool
[05:36] <l815> take the red pill and it will slow down
[05:36] <Xavura> :P
[05:36] <snarkster> !lvm
[05:36] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: how can I do that?
[05:36] <unavailable> kcman that is true nickrud  http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=7200 your thoughts?
[05:36] <MasterShrek> Xavura, if you keep things to one line it helps quite a bit
[05:36] <Megaqwerty> Xavura: we're crazily fast thinkers.
[05:36] <nickrud> Xavura by asking all on one line, makes it easier for someone to track
[05:36] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: do u run this as a webserver also?
[05:36] <Xavura> MasterShrek: I'l rewrite it on one line and better
[05:37] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: Run what? This computer? No I don't believe so.
[05:37] <Xavura> I have a USB device where you plug it into your PC then you can plug a compontent (A/V) cable into it, I used to use it on Windows to record from my Xbox 360 to my PC. I need some software that can record from it... and maybe drivers too?
[05:37] <noname91> ﻿hey can somebody help me set up my printer: when i plug it in (usb) ubuntu automatically sets it up and says it is ready for printing... but when i print something there is no response

[05:37] <davidrawson_> hey, i'm trying to figure out something with k3b
[05:37] <davidrawson_> how do you burn raw files
[05:38] <davidrawson_> such as audio.raw as an audio session
[05:38] <Reformer81> davidrawson_: What do you mean by raw?
[05:38] <Reformer81> ah.
[05:38] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok apt-get install mysql-admin
[05:38] <nickrud> unavailable that's really old instructions ...
[05:38] <Reformer81> davidrawson_: You may need to open it in Audacity and convert it to .WAV or .MP3 first.
[05:38] <MasterShrek> Lokz, any reason you dont want to use dhcp?
[05:38] <unavailable> nickrud you have any offers of advice?
[05:38] <Lokz> it's not installed
[05:38] <Lokz> i'm running the server ubuntu
[05:38] <noname91> ﻿hey can somebody help me set up my printer: when i plug it in (usb) ubuntu automatically sets it up and says it is ready for printing... but when i print something there is no response
[05:38] <Xavura> dhcp screws with your dns settings and sets them wrong
[05:38] <Demios> i have a network question if anyone is willing to help me out over /query or /msg
[05:38] <Lokz> with minimum sofware
[05:38] <Xavura> For me anyway

[05:38] <Reformer81> !repeat | noname91
[05:39] <davidrawson_> it's for dreamcast homebrew
[05:39] <nickrud> unavailable yeah, the open source ati drivers should support that card
[05:39] <MasterShrek> Lokz, you never installed a dhcp client?
[05:39] <Lokz> not on this server
[05:39] <kcman> unavailable did i ask the winning question of the night
[05:39] <MasterShrek> davidrawson_, the only reason i bought one :)
[05:39] <Xavura> Would I be ok to ask my question in #ubuntuforums and/or #ubuntu-offtopic? There's a chance that someone in there has the drivers and/or software I need
[05:40] <Xavura> or should I just keep trying here
[05:40] <unavailable> kcman rofl
[05:40] <davidrawson_> i need to create an audio session of silence, like a blank audio session, and then i create an iso file which i burn afterwards
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: unless it comes with the standard installation of the ubuntu server... but i don't have the dhcpcd
[05:40] <MasterShrek> Lokz, dhclient
[05:40] <nickrud> Xavura -offtopic no, #ubuntuforums maybe. Wired connection?
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: I did, check the link
[05:40] <reduz> Actually, i think i have figured out what's going on with my ubuntu, high disk activity makes the system crawl
[05:40] <Xavura> Nick__: What do you mean by wired connection?
[05:40] <reduz> as if disk dma isn't enabled
[05:40] <Xavura> nickrud: *
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: seems like something on the 255.255.255.255 is fucking up
[05:40] <nickrud> Xavura not wireless
[05:40] <Xavura> The device?
[05:41] <reduz> may it be that DMA hard disk transfers may have been disabled for some reason?
[05:41] <Lokz> MasterShrek: I believe a misconfiguration of something in my ubuntu box
[05:41] <reduz> i latest ubuntu
[05:41] <Reformer81> !language | Lokz
[05:41] <nickrud> Xavura the connection to the router, is it by wire or wireless
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Lokz, i doubt you want your subnet to be 255.255.255.255
[05:41] <davidrawson_> cdrecord dev=0,6,0 -multi -audio audio.raw
[05:41] <davidrawson_> it freaks out
[05:41] <davidrawson_> when i type that
[05:41] <Xavura> Ah, nickrud, wired, but I don't care about that, I am here for something else
[05:41] <nickrud> Xavura ah, wrong nick, I bet
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Lokz, nvm its 255.255.255.0
[05:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: installed
[05:41] <Lokz> MasterShrek: it's not ... it's set to .0 yea, and what about the language?
[05:41] <tofaffy|lappy> @ping
[05:41] <Xavura>  I have a USB device where you plug it into your PC then you can plug a compontent (A/V) cable into it, I used to use it on Windows to record from my Xbox 360 to my PC. I need some software that can record from it... and maybe drivers too?
[05:42] <MasterShrek> Lokz, about the language, try to keep it family friendly here :)
[05:42] <Lokz> ahh the f**k, sorry
[05:42] <davidrawson_> when i type "cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -multi -audio audio.raw" which is one of the instructions, it starts doing this repeating thing
[05:42] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: run it
[05:42] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: tell me how to install alsa on ubuntu plz
[05:42] <Demios> ok so i'm looking at this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4318 problem is the computer cannot connect to the internet at all since the wifi card is the only card, is there anyway i could get all these apps and files on a cd? if so, what are the directions after i do that?
[05:42] <MasterShrek> Lokz, using a wifi card? apple airport?
[05:43] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: what now?
[05:43] <Lokz> MasterShrek: using a direct wired ethernet cable, plugged into an apple airport extrem
[05:43] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend:  alsa should be installed by default
[05:43] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: you can't hook it up to a wired lan at all, not even temporarily?
[05:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  ok use that interface to update the password for the mythtv user
[05:43] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: not at all
[05:43] <grrrrrrrrreg> ﻿hey can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ... anybody?
[05:43] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: but i thinks it's running OSS, how do i check?
[05:43] <Lokz> MasterShrek: using the rj45 ethernet
[05:43] <MasterShrek> hmm
[05:43] <unavailable> kcman found this http://ati.amd.com/developer/altoschart.pdf
[05:43] <snarkster> no one wants their subnet to be 255.255.255.255
[05:44] <Lokz> MasterShrek: ping to gateway works... just doesnt go out of the network range (aka google.ping doesnt work)
[05:44] <MasterShrek> Lokz, do: sudo ifconfig eth0 down     then     sudo ifconfig eth0 up    then    sudo dhclient eth0
[05:44] <MasterShrek> ah
[05:44] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend: if ur using gnome u should be able to see from the mixer applet
[05:44] <MasterShrek> Lokz, other machines can get out though im assuming
[05:44] <Lokz> MasterShrek: correct
[05:44] <tech0007> davidrawson_: did u try 'genisomage' ?
[05:44] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: is replacing the wifi an option? The Intel 3945s are supported OOB :P
[05:44] <grrrrrrrrreg> does anyone know a channel that might be able to help with a printer problem?
[05:44] <reduz> i don't get sdparam, give me back my hdparam :9
[05:45] <davidrawson_> tech0007, it says command not found
[05:45] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: I promised her that it would not cost her a thing, there has to be a way i can sudo from a cd
[05:45] <madrazr> ﻿I created 2 logical volumes in a volume group yesterday, each with capacity 60 GiB and added the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab, but it always mounts with write and execute permissions to root, can someone help me?
[05:45] <_rafa_> hey guys
[05:45] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: how do i run the mixer applet
[05:45] <MasterShrek> sorry Lokz, a little over my head, try #networking
[05:45] <tech0007> davidrawson_: u want to convert a raw file to iso, ryt?
[05:45] <Lokz> MasterShrek: kk thanks for trying, I appreciate :)
[05:45] <davidrawson_> and burn it as a single session i guess
[05:46] <Flannel> madrazr: What options did you give it in your fstab?
[05:46] <_rafa_> can someone help me install a package from source? i keep getting stuck at the ./configure step, it says it does not exist
[05:46] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: Those Broadcoms need proprietary firmware. The easiest way to get it is to hook the machine up to a wired lan and use teh hardware drivers panel
[05:46] <tech0007> davidrawson_: 'sudo apt-get install genisoimage'
[05:46] <davidrawson_> i want two sessions, a blank audio session, and the data session
[05:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: denied =/
[05:46] <noname91> ﻿hey can somebody help me set up my printer: when i plug it in (usb) ubuntu automatically sets it up and says it is ready for printing... but when i print something there is no response ... the printer is an Epson Stylus C45
[05:46] <pvl1> _rafa_: did u cd to the dir?
[05:46] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, what are you compiling?
[05:46] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: what was denied
[05:46] <madrazr> Flannel: /dev/data/mach  /media/mach   ext3  defaults 0        1
[05:46] <_rafa_> yes
[05:46] <davidrawson_> but that makes sense
[05:46] <madrazr> just defaults
[05:46] <_rafa_> Phun
[05:46] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend: http://seehuhn.de/pages/alsa
[05:46] <_rafa_> http://www.phun.at/
[05:47] <pvl1> _rafa_: if you type ls does configure come up
[05:47] <unavailable> kcman and this page should be helpful if you get any more ati cards  lol http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Hardware-HOWTO/video.html
[05:47] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: i've tried but this guide, which i cannot use because i cannot connect to anything wired
[05:47] <madrazr> Flannel: I have one more volume group which I had created very long back, for that also I have given the same options
[05:47] <davidrawson_> tech0007, i have it
[05:47] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, have you installed build-essential ?
[05:47] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: really though, replacing it entirely is the best long-term option. Even when they work, they're really bad
[05:47] <madrazr> Flannel: but its working fine, but its a 30 GiB one
[05:47] <davidrawson_> tech0007, what should i do now, i have my raw file here
[05:47] <Fezzler> compiz and nvidia  UGH!  doesn't work in Hardy
[05:47] <_rafa_> no it doesnt show up
[05:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: the connection to localhost
[05:47] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: i am aware of that.
[05:47] <grrrrrrrrreg> ﻿hey can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ... anybody?
[05:47] <Flannel> madrazr: defaults is fine, yes.  What are the permissions on the mountpoint youre mounting to?
[05:47] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: it pings fine
[05:48] <pvl1> _rafa_: skip to make then
[05:48] <_rafa_> MasterShrek: build essentials?
[05:48] <ReAn[Laptop]> so ubuntu seems to install without setting a root password (or asking for one at least) the sudo seems to work through the user's password... however, here i am with a prompt asking for the root password... and im stumped because i do not know my own password due to the way ubuntu installs itself, anyone care to explain why?
[05:48] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: yes it is running alsa...hmm...so i have a problem...when i run the sound in my game (written in ruby/gosu) it says 'error initialzing output device' but when i turn the applications that use sound OFF, and then re-run my game, it works fine....any idae?
[05:48] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  what user did u specify
[05:48] <Xavura> GUYS (and girls?) I found a tutorial to get my thing working, but I'm not sure how to follow it exactly, anyone fancy helping for 10 mins to walk me through it?
[05:48] <kuhyoubical> Using secure-delete can i delete a directory or is it just 1 file at a time?
[05:48] <_rafa_> pvl1: tried that to, epic fail
[05:48] <pvl1> MasterShrek: he says configure isnt in the dir from ls
[05:48] <Xavura> It's not exactly a tutorial, more a set of loose instructions
[05:48] <madrazr> Flannel: Oh! wait let me see
[05:48] <pvl1> _rafa_: o hm, follow MasterShrek then i guess
[05:48] <davidrawson_> tech0007, what now?
[05:49] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: There is no root password.  The root account is locked.  What have you done to get a prompt for the root password?
[05:49] <pvl1> Xavura: what are u trying to do?
[05:49] <madrazr> Flannel: drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 2008-07-15 02:19 mach
[05:49] <kuhyoubical> with the srm command can i delete a directory or just files
[05:49] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: i was told it was because of OSS and 'one sound at one time' thing, but it turns out i am running alsa...not oss, so what's the deal?
[05:49] <tech0007> davidrawson_: move all your raw files you want to a temp dir, then do 'genisoimage -o cd.iso dir'
[05:49] <_rafa_> MasterShrek: build essential was already installed
[05:49] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  lets make it super easy and actually create a new user that mythtv can use on the mysql cli
[05:49] <madrazr> should it be w for user also?
[05:49] <Xavura> pvl1: I am trying to get my usb device working, apparently it involves downloading things, compiling things etc. and I'm a bit confused as to what I need to do, but I have a link to the page where it kind of explains how
[05:49] <madrazr> Flannel: should it be rwx for user also?
[05:49] <tech0007> davidrawson_: i think the same can be done w/ brasero,,,do u have kubuntu?
[05:49] <_rafa_> pvl1: when i go to make it says no target specified
[05:49] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: how?
[05:49] <Flannel> madrazr: No, that looks right.
[05:49] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: grant all privileges on mythconverge.* to 'mythuser'@'%' indetified by 'password';
[05:50] <pvl1> Xavura: what device?

[05:50] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend: I am unsure what ur problem is exactly, all I saw was u asking how to make sure ur using alsa
[05:50] <pvl1> _rafa_: gotcha. is there anything along the lines of configure tho? like config
[05:50] <nautic> Where do I get ubuntu help?
[05:50] <madrazr> Flannel: but I said I have other volume right? mount point for that has drwxrwxrwx 19 root root 4096 2008-07-12 02:33 professional

[05:50] <_rafa_> yeah config.cfg
[05:50] <nautic> kewl
[05:50] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: sorry but... you've lost me
[05:50] <Flannel> unavailable: sudo -i prompts you for your user password
[05:50] <palomer> I lost my ubuntu password
[05:50] <palomer> how do I change it?
[05:50] <Xavura> pvl1: The topic is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552996 I'm just not sure what I need to do exactly
[05:50] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: get back on the cli
[05:51] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: and what is prompting you for the root password?
[05:51] <pvl1> _rafa_: hm try ./config.cfg
[05:51] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: in terminal mysql -u root
[05:51] <davidrawson_> tech0007, i think this can only be done via command line, using cdrecord, but i'm not for sure. I don't know of any programs that can do this.
[05:51] <Flannel> palomer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[05:51] <Xavura> pvl1: for example it says EDIT: To compile this package you need to install kernel source first, I don't know what that means
[05:51] <nautic> I am in a RDP session in ubuntu where the remote machine is Windows XP... how do I get out of full screen mode?

[05:52] <nownot> how do i setup network shares that will be visiable in xp and osx?
[05:52] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: apparently not

[05:52] <ReAn[Laptop]> Flannel: I'm calling: sudo net ads join
[05:52] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: what now?
[05:52] <ReAn[Laptop]> i figured it out tho
[05:52] <MasterShrek> !samba | nownot
[05:52] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: That asks for your sudo password (your user password)
[05:52] <grrrrrrrrreg> printer help?
[05:53] <MasterShrek> nownot, you can enable windows filesharing in osx somewhere (im not sure where but i know you can)
[05:53] <nownot> MasterShrek: kk thanks
[05:53] <Slinky> hey guys if I'm going to do some programming, what's the standard place to store my source code?
[05:53] <tech0007> !ask | grrrrrrrrreg
[05:53] <khaotik> does anyone know of a channel i could get some help on keeping format of a .odt document when i try to save into a .doc
[05:53] <unavailable> flannel  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27409/
[05:53] <khaotik> does anyone know of a channel i could get some help on keeping format of a .odt document when i try to save into a .doc
[05:53] <Flannel> madrazr: No.  You could try +w-ing the mountpoint.  Just don't do it recursively
[05:53] <davidrawson_> tech0007, i'm trying to make a multisession disc, with one audio blank track and one data track with data
[05:53] <_rafa_> pvl1: it executed but with errors
[05:53] <pvl1> Slinky: w/e dir u make for ur program?
[05:53] <Flannel> unavailable: What's your point?
[05:53] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: perhaps try dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[05:53] <unavailable> root logon
[05:53] <_rafa_> pvl1: i will post on pastebin
[05:53] <madrazr> Flannel: Ok fine let me try
[05:53] <grrrrrrrrreg> well it hasnt worked up until now tech0007
[05:53] <Flannel> unavailable: Thats not what we're talking about
[05:54] <MasterShrek> Slinky, in your user folder until its ready for production, then you dont have to worry about permissions
[05:54] <pvl1> Xavura: do u see my pm?
[05:54] <nickrud> unavailable you're carrying coal to newcastle ;)
[05:54] <Slinky> so just put the source in a subdir in my home directory? I shouldn't put it in /usr/src/?
[05:54] <unavailable> flannel from there you should be able to reset the root password
[05:54] <Flannel> unavailable: Again, that's not what we're talking about.
[05:54] <Slinky> or /usr/local/src ( i think im getting the locations wrong)
[05:54] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: into the mysql monitor, or the terminal?
[05:54] <pvl1> Slinky: doesnt really matter, but i guess thats the standard
[05:55] <unavailable> it seems they dont want coal over there at newcastle
[05:55] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: terminal
[05:55] <nickrud> Slinky no, it's easier to work on source in your home dir. the /usr/src is pretty much limited to the kernel these days
[05:55] <pvl1> Xavura: hello?
[05:55] <_rafa_> pvl1: http://pastebin.org/51465
[05:55] <nickrud> unavailable that's cuz newcastle is swimming in coal ;)
[05:55] <Lokz> who's the networking god here (who is not necesserly online)?
[05:55] <_rafa_> theres the link to the errors i got
[05:55] <Slinky> thanks pv11 and nickrud
[05:55] <Flannel> !anyone | Lokz
[05:55] <sdakak> kiba dock vs avant window navigator anyone?
[05:55] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: If you can get a hold of the fwcutter and the firmware image through other means then you may be able to manually get it working
[05:55] <grrrrrrrrreg> ubottu is a gayfag
[05:55] <sdakak> Flannel: It feels stupid to compose sentences without anyone in some cases.
[05:56] <Lokz> Flannel... thanks for the pointer but if you scroll up you'll see that no one was able to answer my questions
[05:56] <nickrud> !language | grrrrrrrrreg
[05:56] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: was nothing supposed to happen/what next?
[05:56] <pvl1> _rafa_: oi thats not the file. what are you trying to install?
[05:56] <davidrawson_> omg, this failed :/
[05:56] <grrrrrrrrreg> !baha
[05:56] <_rafa_> sdakak: awn dock is alot more functional but kiba is alot more fun
[05:56] <davidrawson_> it burned audio.raw as a data file
[05:56] <_rafa_> pvl1: a app called phun
[05:56] <davidrawson_> not as a session itself
[05:56] <_rafa_> pvl1: http://www.phun.at
[05:56] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: can u get into the mysql cli on the terminal
[05:56] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: so there is nothing i can do, even if i have the files that i'm supposed to sudoget or wget on a cd?
[05:56] <nickrud> grrrrrrrrreg don't abuse the bot, and this is a disney g rated channel
[05:56] <sdakak> _rafa_: I am for functionality.
[05:56] <ReAn[Laptop]> Can someone help me with my Winbind/Samba Configuration, I'm getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27410/ <--- i followed the guide on the site down to a T, no idea what's wrong
[05:56] <kuhyoubical> is there a command for undeleting files
[05:56] <Slinky> Can anyone point me to a good article on linux's directory structure?
[05:57] <nickrud> !fhs | Slinky
[05:57] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: yes
[05:57] <pvl1> _rafa_: woa kool! i am sooooooooooo getting this now
[05:57] <_rafa_> sdakak: then i would recommend awn dock. you get alot of applets including the mac os x stacks
[05:57] <Flannel> Slinky: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html
[05:57] <Slinky> hahaha jesus this bot's got everything
[05:57] <_rafa_> pvl1: ;)
[05:57] <sdakak> _rafa_: I am trying to adjust to a panel-less desktop. Is there a way I can configure AWN to open run/menu with alt-f2/3?
[05:57] <grrrrrrrrreg> nickrud get a life
[05:57] <nickrud> grrrrrrrrreg if you're not interested in using this channel for it's purpose, you might want to play elsewhere
[05:57] <_rafa_> sdakak: awn has a great and good looking menu app
[05:57] <LSD|Ninja> I really don't get peoples obsession with the OS X Dock, it's completely useless
[05:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: err monitor rather
[05:58] <grrrrrrrrreg> -.- tried using it ... nobody could help  so i gotst bored
[05:58] <unavailable> lsd|ninja its eye candy, its not supposed to be useful
[05:58] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: still getting acces denied when I try using -u root
[05:58] <sdakak> _rafa_: I know but what about keyboard shortcuts?
[05:58] <Flannel> grrrrrrrrreg: Please take boredom to #ubuntu-offtopic, and please be respectful.
[05:58] <Slinky> lsd|ninja, it's a pretty nice concept
[05:58] <grrrrrrrrreg> lol
[05:58] <sdakak> Can awn open a applet with a keyboard shortcut from desktop?
[05:58] <nickrud> grrrrrrrrreg usually you need to ask your question a few times, 5-10 minutes apart to get an answer. Not everyone knows all ;)
[05:58] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: if you have the same files that Ubuntu looks for you could try throwing them in the apt cache and trying to install them manually
[05:58] <_rafa_> sdakak: to be honest, i have never looked into keyboard shortcuts for awn, sorry
[05:59] <unavailable> lsd|ninja like drawing fire or making it rain on your workspace is useful?
[05:59] <grrrrrrrrreg> theres a solution for everything isnt there
[05:59] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: u need root access to the mysql cli
[05:59] <_rafa_> sdakak: i dont think it possible with a just a few clicks here and there, youll probably have to script
[05:59] <LSD|Ninja> Slinky: The Windows taskbar is better
[05:59] <grrrrrrrrreg> ﻿can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ....
[05:59] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: so how do I get it =/ ??
[06:00] <unavailable> !offtopic | lsd|ninja
[06:00] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  well by default on the terminal typing mysql -u root would give it to u unless u have changed the password
[06:00] <Slinky> it's more of a combination of the taskbar and quick launch, isn't it?
[06:00] <mjbrooks> unavailable, I find the expose effect and ring switcher both pretty & useful
[06:00] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  so try mysql -u root -p <your_password>
[06:00] <Lokz> Anyone who believe they are pretty good in networking... could you have a look at this ? I'm trying to connect to my router using my rj-45 wired cable eth0... I believe I've read everything that's available and tried everything from friends and own experience (here are the links of what I tried : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27393/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27408/)
[06:00] <Demios> LSD|Ninja could you elaborate over /msg so I dont have to cut through lines? if you dont mind that is. I'll take the help here as well.
[06:00] <nickrud> grrrrrrrrreg I don't know much about printers, but you should mention what printer you're using and if possible, any error messages you get. Makes it more likely someone will recognize the problem
[06:00] <nickrud> grrrrrrrrreg and answer up
[06:00] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: that gets me in
[06:01] <nickrud> mjbrooks and scale, I love scale
[06:01] <Smegzor> on one of my test computers I managed to remove gnome-desktop.  Now I can't reinstall it because of a dependency problem with gnome-keyring-manager (which has been replaced with seahorse apparently).  How do I reinstall gnome-desktop?
[06:01] <unavailable> mjbrooks:  actually i like the cube its useful for me, along with the blind effect and window trail
[06:01] <grrrrrrrrreg> ﻿can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ... anybody? running an epson stylus c45 via usb on ubuntu hardy heron
[06:01] <mjbrooks> nickrud, good point
[06:01] <Flannel> Smegzor: ubuntu-desktop, not gnome-desktop-environment
[06:01] <pvl1> _rafa_: u dont need to compile
[06:01] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok, so now do GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mythconverg.* TO 'mythuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
[06:01] <Reformer81> grrrrrrrrreg: Have you searched google for you printer model and "ubuntu"?
[06:01] <techsupport> quick question. is it possible to make it so that i will always see the working directory i'm working in instead of just the usrname@ubuntu:~$ but /some/path/usrname@ubuntu$ ?
[06:01] <pvl1> _rafa_: do ./phun
[06:01] <_rafa_> pvl1: go straight to make install
[06:01] <_rafa_> oh ok
[06:02] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i get screenlets to stay so i dont have to configure everytime i restart?
[06:02] <mjbrooks> unavailable, I use the wall, it's closer to old school and I'm not dependant on the mouse
[06:02] <grrrrrrrrreg> reformer: yes i have ... funny that :P
[06:02] <pvl1> Mr_Bad_News: in the manager make em start up on boot or whatever it is
[06:02] <kuhyoubical> i am learning a lot in this channel :)
[06:02] <Slinky> !offtopic | ubottu
[06:02] <Slinky> aww it didn't work
[06:02] <pvl1> _rafa_: did it work?
[06:02] <Xavura> Anyone fancy helping me compile something, I don't know how lol
[06:02] <Smegzor> on 2nd thoughts nevermind.  I removed a ton of apps because they would never be used and ubuntu-desktop is going to add them right back again.  I have xfce and that will do fine.
[06:02] <_rafa_> pvl1: there is no way to install the file? like to get it into the menu?
[06:03] <_rafa_> yeah it di
[06:03] <_rafa_> did*
[06:03] <FAJALOU> !compilie | Xavura
[06:03] <pvl1> _rafa_: yes there is
[06:03] <Photocopy> I have a question: I know this isnt the place to ask but I don't believe this irc network DOES have a place. I tried running the startx command in backtrack (which is built off slax, apparently) and it tells me "no screens found" then "giving up"
[06:03] <FAJALOU> !compile | Xavura
[06:03] <Photocopy> can I get any pointer
[06:03] <Algeris> whenever I sudo vim to change my motd on my ubuntu hardy edition, after I reboot the file returns to it's normal status, any idea what's doing this?
[06:03] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: I assume I replace mythuser and password with my mythtv  user and pass?
[06:03] <techsupport> anyone ?
[06:03] <kcman> unavailable so for now we are sticking with the first page as the how to guide?
[06:03] <Mr_Bad_News> pvl1, im using compiz
[06:03] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: u could use any username and password, just so long as u update ur mythbackend to use that user and pass
[06:03] <unavailable> mjbrooks:  see i grew up with the mouse, (although i can still alt-tab with the best)  but without a mouse its just not a computer for me
[06:03] <pvl1> Mr_Bad_News: oh, not sure then
[06:03] <_rafa_> pvl1: i tried make install [n00b here, just a shot in the dark] and it didnt work
[06:04] <MasterShrek> techsupport, youll need to mess with your .bashrc file i believe
[06:04] <Flannel> Smegzor: gnome-desktop-environment is similar to ubuntu-desktop, it's not just the WM, but all the auxiliary apps as well.  You probably want gnome-core
[06:04] <Algeris> whenever I sudo vim to change my motd on my ubuntu hardy server edition, after I reboot the file returns to it's normal status, any idea what's doing this?
[06:04] <MasterShrek> techsupport, but it would be a better question for #bash as i have no idea what to put in there
[06:04] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a screenlet ticker?

[06:04] <mjbrooks> techsupport, the tilde "~" is your working directory
[06:04] <grrrrrrrrreg> legend: yes i did ... from what i can gather it wasnt really solved....
[06:04] <FAJALOU> System> Prefs> Keyboard
[06:05] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  nope if it worked it'd just say something like OK Query Affected x Rows
[06:05] <mjbrooks> techsupport, it means you are in your home directory
[06:05] <MasterShrek> palomer, didnt it ask you during the install?
[06:05] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  i omitted that u need the ; char at the end
[06:05] <kernel_ghost> to execute
[06:05] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:ah that'd be it

[06:06] <coldboot|home> This is with the proprietary driver from nvidia's website.

[06:07] <unavailable> kcman but the headers arent for hardy
[06:08] <Photocopy> Algeris: What kind of server
[06:08] <Algeris> Photocopy: Ubuntu Server Edition, latest, simple ssh server
[06:08] <MasterShrek> Algeris, are you changing it as root? your user doesnt have write privileges to it
[06:09] <Algeris> MasterShrek: im sudo vim it from my normal user

[06:10] <Slinky> ozama did you burn the image to a cd?
[06:10] <FAJALOU> ozama:  i had a similar issue with HH, you should checksum your disk and make sure it is not corrupt, b/c that was what was wrong with mine.
[06:10] <MasterShrek> ozama, did you check the disc for errors? also why are you using gutsy and not hardy?

[06:10] <ozama> no, i received the cd by shipit

[06:10] <palomer> FAJALOU, that doesn't change the layout I use to enter my password
[06:11] <MasterShrek> mjh, if you want your user to have permissions to it use chmod (chmod --help      for info)   if you want to only edit it but not change the permissions use sudo
[06:11] <chriswr> does anyone know why when i try to watch a video and play my music at the same time the video runs REALLY slow?
[06:11] <Gr3y_> oh alsa is enabled, the problem is that it's defaulting through my videocard and I can't seem to change it
[06:11] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: that exactly? Can do
[06:11] <MasterShrek> curtis, k3b shold do it
[06:11] <Slinky> chriswr: have you considered that your processor can't handle both?
[06:11] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: got the positive message back. were good. What now?
[06:11] <unavailable> nickrud should https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI help kcman?
[06:11] <esac> does anybody know of a screen capture movie program that can capture a certain resolution around the mouse, so i just get a 640x480 square around my mouse?
[06:11] <curtis> mastershrek: is there anything else that i have to do before that or any special settings that have to be set in k3b?
[06:12] <Slinky> ozama: get the newest ubuntu, check the md5, and burn it to a dvd
[06:12] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  make those changes in ur mythbackend setup
[06:12] <FAJALOU> palomer, dunno about that then, but i would guess it should be in there.
[06:12] <chriswr> slinky: got a intel pentinium D dual core , when i was in windows i was playing call of duty 4 and playing music at the same time perfectly
[06:12] <mjh> thanks MasterShrek will try that
[06:12] <Slinky> hrm
[06:12] <MasterShrek> curtis, i would install k3b (itll want a bunch of kde libraries as well, but worth it definately) also check out medibuntu and install the codecs you can get from there, also gstreamer
[06:12] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: set user as mythtv, and password to what? password?
[06:12] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  yes
[06:13] <FAJALOU> k3b didn't work well for me, but braesero did
[06:13] <Ayabara> is there a command I can issue to check that my fans are working like they should?
[06:13] <MasterShrek> Ayabara, put your ear next to them, if you hear a sound, they are working like they should
[06:13] <MasterShrek> :)
[06:13] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  u could also do the same command but replace the % symbol with localhost
[06:13] <curtis> mastershrek: but will k3b burn straight to a dvd without any other steps?
[06:13] <MasterShrek> or stick your finger in one, youll know if its working
[06:13] <chriswr> slinky: any ideas?
[06:13] <Slinky> chriswr: what video and sound cards do you have
[06:13] <mjbrooks> Is there a way on the command line to list the updates available for installed packages without actually installing them?
[06:14] <MatthewV> Ayabara, sensors may be able to tell you that - i think you need the package lm-sensors, and then run sensors-detect to pick up all the sensors, then 'sensors' will give you there output...
[06:14] <MasterShrek> curtis, i believe it should, been awhile since ive used it
[06:14] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: still can't log into server
[06:14] <Ayabara> MasterShrek: ha ha :-)

[06:15] <chriswr> slinky: i have no idea about sound card but pretty sure it would handle that (it supports 5.1 surround sound) and for video card i bought a geforce 8600 gts oc

[06:15] <mons88> PXE net desktop install, can I pass the url of a private local mirror in the append line? Or do I need to re-write the mini.iso?
[06:15] <Gr3y_> the issue i'm having is that i installed a video card with an HDMI port, and now alsa wants to use that as it's primary output. but i'm piping into my tv via the onboard sound, how can I tell alsa to ignore the videocard so all my stuff works?
[06:15] <oswado> mjbrooks--> try  apt-cache search  pkgname  and see if what is listed is newer than your installed one
[06:15] <Slinky> chriswr: are you using actual nvidia drivers? This is stumping me
[06:15] <MasterShrek> curtis, depends on the quality of the source file
[06:15] <chriswr> slinky: yes
[06:16] <chayo> thanks
[06:16] <Ayabara> my conky says the temp is ~ 59C on both cores. that's a bit hot, isn't it?
[06:16] <oswado> Ayabara--> way too hot
[06:16] <mjbrooks> oswado, I'm looking for all packages not just one... it's for a status script for a remote machine

[06:16] <Slinky> chriswr: I'm sorry bro I'm stumped
[06:16] <MatthewV> Ayabara, my temp is ~50C on both cores, and i'm running a transcode job at the moment
[06:16] <curtis> mastershrek: can you remember how long it took to complete the burning process?
[06:16] <chriswr> slinky: all right thnx for trying anyway
[06:17] <oswado> mjbrooks--> i dont know, man dpkg  as its the baseline of all the apt package management
[06:17] <Ayabara> oswado: MatthewV: ouch. I'm not doing anything heavy at the moment, and I run 8.04 on a Dell XPS M1530
[06:17] <Mr_Bad_News> is there anyway to go back to the way grub looked in dapper
[06:17] <reind> is there a tool in 8.04 for configuring X? it's using the vesa driver now instead of the intel driver...

[06:22] <kaushal> ok thanks MasterShrek>
[06:22] <Mr_Bad_News> and is there a way to turn it so its horizontal
[06:22] <MatthewV> Ayabara, i'm not sure.... using lm-sensors i can see my two fans are at around 2500RPM, but I'm not sure about controllers
[06:22] <davidrawson_> i have a pastebin

[06:23] <kcman> unavailable i dont think i am running a 9xxx-9500 card, dam this thing is being such a dam pain
[06:23] <davidrawson_> i type cdrecord and it does this
[06:23] <Slinky> hey can someone help out chriswr, since it'd probably help me out too
[06:23] <Ayabara> MatthewV: the sensors didn't pick up anything. found a thread about heat on the m1530 though.
[06:23] <pappan> Where can I get a few marketing material which will be catching for a group who is using piracy software everywhere - including home and office?
[06:23] <MatthewV> Ayabara, ah kk... in case you're interested in getting the sensors running, did you try running sensors-detect?
[06:23] <mjbrooks> chriswr, sounds like one of the programs or both are blocking
[06:24] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:?
[06:24] <Ahadiel> pappan, That's not an Ubuntu related question...
[06:24] <davidrawson_> anyone know how to fix my problem?
[06:24] <Ayabara> MatthewV: yes. it only detected core temp sensors
[06:24] <aidy> hi, how do i set the preferred distro to hardy-proposed without using gui tools?
[06:24] <chriswr> mjbrooks: what do you mean?
[06:24] <Flannel> aidy: You don't want to use -proposed
[06:24] <pappan> I am going to install Ubuntu in the install fest we are planning, Ahadiel
[06:24] <MatthewV> Ayabara, ah kk... it didn't give you any extra modules to load?
[06:24] <aidy> Flannel: why not?
[06:24] <chriswr> mjbrooks: should i try opening the videos in another program?
[06:25] <Slinky> also is there a way to make a submenu in GRUB?
[06:25] <unavailable> kcman see x.org says that you should be able to find the drivers on ati's website, however for linux they dont offer any for the rage mobility
[06:25] <Flannel> aidy: because its not stable
[06:25] <aidy> Flannel: i know.
[06:25] <FAJALOU> !grub | Slinky
[06:25] <davidrawson_> !cdrecord
[06:25] <pen> besides the widget factory, is there a gdm previewer for gnome?
[06:25] <mjbrooks> chriswr, blocking means taking a certain resource and not letting it go until it's done what it wants/needs to do
[06:25] <Flannel> pappan: You might ask in #ubuntu-in
[06:26] <pappan> thanls
[06:26] <fbianconi> !ubottu
[06:26] <Ayabara> MatthewV: don't think so. I answered yes to most of the stuff it wanted to do :-)
[06:26] <chriswr> mjbrooks: is there anyway to get past that?
[06:26] <unavailable> kcman  although this page gives some hints at success http://www.x.org/wiki/ati
[06:26] <kcman> unavailable so basicly i am screwed in the turning on 3d rendering in a simple fashion
[06:26] <selocol> Does anyone know the name of the process that controls a notebook's brightness keys?
[06:26] <Ayabara> MatthewV: maybe I could install i8kmon?
[06:26] <Mr_Bad_News> anyone know how to turn system monitor screenlet horizontal?
[06:26] <MatthewV> Ayabara, yeh ok, so did i, and it just gave me a couple of modules at the end... ;)
[06:26] <Mr_Bad_News> and make it so it doesnt minimize when i hit show desktop
[06:26] <offline> i got error for libjvm.so could not be loaded msg when i launch opera.
[06:26] <MrBucket> How do I get out of fullscreen RDP?
[06:26] <selocol> My brightness keys work in Gnome but not in Fluxbox, so I'm trying to find out what Gnome uses so I can load it when I'm in Fluxbox.
[06:26] <offline> how can i fix this ?
[06:26] <boogieman> hi, i'm new to the scene so i barely know any apps... is there any S.M.A.R.T. monitor freeware outthere ... (ubuntu 8.04)
[06:26] <boogieman> ??
[06:27] <chriswr> slinky: what are you trying to edit in your grub menu?
[06:27] <aidy> Flannel: but um, i also would like to make sure i'm not using LTS but the regular release schedule
[06:27] <mjbrooks> chriswr, it's probably your soundcard that's getting blocked... I'm trying to remember how I unblocked mine
[06:27] <aidy> Flannel: so i'd still need the info
[06:28] <Ahadiel> selocol, I'm going to say... gnome-settings-daemon
[06:28] <MatthewV> Ayabara, with your other question, dont really know, sorry
[06:28] <selocol> Ahadiel: thanks ill give it a try
[06:28] <mjbrooks> chriswr, I think I installed the alsa-oss package
[06:28] <unavailable> kcman a ha...  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.8.0-1
[06:28] <Slinky> chriswr: I can edit out the entries I don't want, but I'm considering putting them in a submenu, if that's at all possible
[06:28] <Ayabara> MatthewV: ok. thanks for helping
[06:28] <Flannel> aidy: What?
[06:28] <unavailable> kcman i think we have a winner
[06:29] <Flannel> boogieman: Check out smart-notifier
[06:29] <selocol> doesn't seem to be it
[06:29] <unavailable> dcman  This driver provides support for Mach, Rage, Rage128, Radeon, and most
[06:29] <unavailable>  FireGL series ATI cards.
[06:29] <Slinky> the ubuntu faq on grub doesnt have anything of the sort listed
[06:29] <aidy> Flannel: "hi, how do i set the preferred distro to hardy-proposed without using gui tools?"
[06:29] <chriswr> mjbrooks: is it in repos?
[06:29] <unavailable> kcman and its even in a deb file
[06:29] <Flannel> aidy: No, you said that.  What does that have to do with "not being on the LTS"?
[06:29] <mjbrooks> chriswr, sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[06:29] <coldboot|home> Is anyone else having trouble with nvidia drivers after recent ubuntu 8.04 updates?
[06:29] <arooni_____> i have flash installed on my gutsy desktop.  but when i load a movie from http://www.watch-movies.net (it loads up google player, veoh, etc)... i see a prompt saying: "You have chosen to open googleplayer.swf which is a: Shockwave Flash file from: http://video.google.com.  What should Firefox do with this file?" ... flash *does* currently work (on youtube), but when there are full screen popups that play video from watch-movies
[06:29] <arooni_____> .net, it doesnt work :(
[06:30] <MrBucket> How do I get out of fullscreen RDP?
[06:30] <wbmj> aidy, I think you want to edit your sources.list to Ibex
[06:30] <FAJALOU> coldboot|home: what is the problem, b/c i had a problem.
[06:30] <kcman> unavailable yeah i am seeing that wow dude and i know you know that i was just about to throw in the towel
[06:30] <Xavura> HELP! I need software to capture from a usb device, what do I need?
[06:30] <unavailable> rofl
[06:30] <aidy> wbmj: no i don't
[06:30] <Xavura> Something that is in the repositories
[06:30] <NovaAesa_> no u
[06:30] <kcman> unavailable so this should work for my card cause i am circa 2000 video card meaning i will get 3d rendering?
[06:30] <chriswr> slinky: i have no idea if thats what im trying to do , when i start up it says windows media center , windows xp , and ubuntu ,so im trying to get windows media center off it
[06:31] <wbmj> aidy ...then I don't understand your question
[06:31] <Slinky> just comment out the entry for media center
[06:31] <Flannel> aidy: What does -proposed have to do with LTS?
[06:31] <Slinky> chriswr: put a # before the lines relevant to media center
[06:31] <davidrawson_> how do i compile?
[06:31] <Slinky> that way if something goes wrong you can edit the config file and put it back
[06:31] <Flannel> davidrawson_: what are you trying to compile?
[06:31] <unavailable> kcman "circa 2000 video card"  not too sure about the 3d rendering but will definately have the latest drivers o_0
[06:31] <davidrawson_> i hate when i download something and i have to compile it myself
[06:32] <MatthewV> !compile | davidrawson_
[06:32] <davidrawson_> i'm trying to compile the newest cdrecord
[06:32] <chriswr> mjbrooks: do i need to restart?
[06:32] <coldboot|home> Whenever I install a proprietary nvidia driver of any version, X claims it can't load the stupid kernel module without stating any reasons.
[06:32] <aidy> Flannel: how do i check which packages will be pulled in (e.g. lts, usual, proposed)
[06:32] <coldboot|home> Also the Ubuntu nvidia-* stuff crashes X when I have those drivers installed.
[06:32] <chriswr> slinky: ok , ill try that
[06:32] <unavailable> ~/me/.config && sudo make cigarette
[06:32] <kcman> unavailable that is certianly a start do i do anything special or just grab the .deb and hack away?
[06:32] <Flannel> aidy: Hardy (the release) is LTS.  hardy-updates, hardy, hardy-security are all "LTS"
[06:32] <coldboot|home> Has anyone havd problems with nvidia drivers lately?
[06:32] <mjbrooks> chriswr, you probably need to restart your sound... which I believe you can do by restartign your xserver
[06:32] <Slinky> chriswr: just write down where the config file is incase something goes wrong
[06:33] <aidy> Flannel: okay
[06:33] <unavailable> kcman well if you cant install the deb file you know where to start  (at the depends)
[06:33] <Slinky> another q: can someone explain what the purpose of the X Window system is?
[06:33] <unavailable> always laughed about the depends
[06:33] <unavailable> whats up with that?
[06:33] <Slinky> Why not just have gnome or kde take care of everything directly?
[06:33] <kcman> unavailable lmao
[06:33] <Flannel> Slinky: That question would be bestasked in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:33] <ganadist> unload notify-osd
[06:33] <chriswr> mjbrooks: and how would i do that?
[06:33] <kcman> unavailable yeah i have like 10 pages to go with
[06:33] <unavailable> "lets name a requirement after something old people pee in"
[06:34] <unavailable> rofl
[06:34] <chriswr> slinky: well , i cant find the phrase media center in it , ill just deal with it , no big problem lol
[06:34] <mjbrooks> chriswr, the fast way?  CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE... but warning, if your on it now it will all disappear and youll have to relogin
[06:34] <Slinky> scroll down to where the systems are listed
[06:35] <unavailable> kcman i was saying that you may need to install      libc6 (>= 2.7-1)   and  xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.4)    but i HIGHLY doubt it
[06:35] <Slinky> and use a pastebin to show the relevant section
[06:35] <aidy> Flannel: let me explain: in synaptic you can go to settings > software sources > release upgrade. there you can pick long term support, regular, never
[06:35] <chriswr> mjbrooks: oh ok , thats what that meant , ill do that and see if it worked
[06:35] <unavailable> mjbrooks dont you like when people dont finish reading before doing something?
[06:35] <davidrawson_> i hate when i download something and it needs compiling because when you get the compiler, it too needs to be compiled
[06:36] <davidrawson_> so there's no way to make the binaries
[06:36] <davidrawson_> unless there's apt-get gcc or something
[06:36] <mjbrooks> Slinky, if gnome and kde did what the underlying xwindow system does they'd be duplicating work to a major degree
[06:36] <Flannel> aidy: That will only matter once Intrepid is released.  That determines when you will be offered (via update-manager) the upgrade to the next version.  LTS would be the next LTS release (10.04), regular would be Intrepid (8.10), and never would mean you'd never be asked (and would have to initiate it manually).
[06:36]  * unavailable cannot compile his compiler because he lacks a compiler  O_o
[06:36] <mjbrooks> Slinky, not that they aren't ALREADY doing that... but that's another issue
[06:36] <Flannel> aidy: It has nothing to do with the sources you're using.
[06:37] <aidy> Flannel: okay
[06:37] <kernel_ghost> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=Password('password') WHERE user='mythtv@localhost';

[06:55] <magichere> i suggest wicd to manage the network.
[06:56] <gaelfx> wbmj: yes, it's properly set up, and it connects, however, 90% of the time it will only run at 10% capacity
[06:56] <gaelfx> wbmj:
[06:56] <chriswr> bazhang: ok , i am running hardy , but ran into another problem , i was trying to open video in video folder with vlc and it says unable to open 'file:///home/"user name"/videos/"video.mpg"
[06:56] <Xavura> Anyone? Software that can record/stream video from a usb device? I have installed the drivers...
[06:56] <magichere> Hi , How about the ati HDMI audio support . I know that the latest alsa driver is work well.
[06:56] <gaelfx> wbmj: I'm in windows now and my connection is perfect
[06:57] <bazhang> chriswr, you right-clicked 'open with vlc' on the file?
[06:57] <Shishire> Flannel, thanks, had to reload my browser's cache twice after reforcing the config
[06:57] <chriswr> bazhang: yes
[06:58] <magichere> I want to buy one , But i want to make sure that  the ati HDMI audio is good .
[06:58] <bazhang> chriswr, not sure then; vlc will open nearly everything--you have all the codecs installed?
[06:59] <wbmj> chriswr .mpg is a sound file?
[06:59] <chriswr> bazhang: but latley i installed extention that i have to open the folder as administator to get it open cause i switched the owner to root instead of my user so my family wouldnt add a bunch of junk in the folder
[06:59] <Xavura> Anyone? Software that can record/stream video from a usb device? I have installed the drivers... I just need the software
[06:59] <chriswr> wbmj: video file
[06:59] <bazhang> chriswr, ah no wonder
[06:59] <Xavura> There are thousands of software that can do it on Windows, why does NO ONE know ONE software that can do it on Linux
[07:00] <chriswr> bazhang: so what would i do to give it permission to open it
[07:00] <gaelfx> Xavura: I know that Cheese can capture pictures, not sure if it can capture video though...
[07:00] <wbmj> have to open VLC as root
[07:00] <Xavura> Well I'm not downloading it just to find out
[07:00] <Xavura> in case it doesn't
[07:00] <Xavura> I've tried enough things that just plain don't work and I'm sick of it
[07:00] <chriswr> wbmj: how would i do that?
[07:00] <gaelfx> Xavura: it's pretty small...
[07:00] <Xavura> >.<
[07:00] <jbroome> whaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:00] <s3a> how do u make sound work in virtualbox-ose for windows xp?
[07:00] <bazhang> chriswr, altering permissions like that is not recommended and may come back to haunt you.
[07:00] <wbmj> from the terminal vlc
[07:00] <gaelfx> Xavura: and easy to remove
[07:00] <Xavura> gaelfx: where's the website for it... so I can go check
[07:01] <wbmj> oops sudo vlc
[07:01] <bazhang> gksudo vlc
[07:01] <Xavura> I'm not exactly going to have much luck typing cheese in google...
[07:01] <gaelfx> Xavura: you can add it from the Add/Remove Software in the Applications menu
[07:01] <wbmj> bazhang....much better
[07:01] <Xavura> gaelfx: I know that but I want the WEBSITE so I can explicitly check if it can do what I need
[07:01] <gaelfx> Xavura: ok, hold on
[07:01] <Xavura> Thanks
[07:02] <huba1> Xavura: are you trying to stream a file from your computer?
[07:02] <Xavura> No.
[07:02] <Xavura> I have a USB device that I plug in to my PC
[07:03] <Xavura> and a component cable plugs into the device from my games console
[07:03] <huba1> So it is mounted?
[07:03] <chriswr> bazhang: ok apparently that wasnt the problem , same error message
[07:03] <Xavura> I want to record from the games console to the PC
[07:03] <Xavura> err, mounted?
[07:03] <huba1> ahh
[07:03] <Xavura> It's plugged in
[07:03] <Xavura> I installed the drivers
[07:03] <Xavura> err what else is there
[07:03] <FloodBot1> Xavura: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:03] <yayabutterton> gaelfx, are you talking about ubuntu 8.04?
[07:03] <gaelfx> Xavura: http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese/
[07:03] <wbmj> chriswr...then it is probably a missing codec
[07:03] <bazhang> Xavura, easy on the enter key
[07:03] <Xavura> Yeah, yeah, yeah
[07:03] <gaelfx> yayabutterton: yes
[07:03] <chriswr> wbmj: were would i get these codec's?
[07:04] <Xavura> err it might work
[07:04] <Xavura> if it can detect devices plugged in
[07:04] <wbmj> chriswr...do you have medibuntu enable in your soources list
[07:04] <bazhang> chriswr, www.medibuntu.org
[07:04] <gaelfx> Xavura: only one way to find out
[07:04] <yayabutterton> could you answer a question for me, when you're done with Xavura?
[07:04] <gaelfx> yayabutterton: go for it
[07:05] <Xavura> yayabutterton: Sure, why not
[07:05] <Xavura> gaelfx: I'm trying it now
[07:05] <chriswr> wbmj , bazhang , were would i check to see if i got it enabled?
[07:05] <gaelfx> Xavura: good luck
[07:05] <Xavura> err well it installed
[07:05] <Xavura> but it isn't in my application menu
[07:05] <yayabutterton> Thanks, i've just installed 8.04 but i can't seem to change the synaptic package manager's site list.
[07:05] <Xavura> Where the heck is it?
[07:06] <wbmj> chriswr...it isn't there by default...go to www.medibuntu.org and follow the cut and paste
[07:06] <boogieman> cant install smart-notifier :(
[07:06] <gaelfx> Xavura: open terminal and type 'cheese'
[07:06] <chriswr> wbmj: oh ok , lol
[07:06] <chriswr> wbmj: im still a huge noob at this ubuntu stuff
[07:07] <Xavura> ok err
[07:07] <Xavura> gaelfx: It kind of works but everything is MESSED UP
[07:07] <Xavura> I need a way to change the format to PAL60 etc.
[07:07] <wbmj> chriswr..no problem we all are at some point
[07:07] <Xavura> but this program is utter crap and provides absolutely no options whatsoever
[07:07] <gaelfx> yayabutterton: ok, what you need to do is go into synaptic package manager, and in the file menu go to Tools->Repositories...
[07:07] <Xavura> well it's not bad but err I'm in a bad mood so everything is crap
[07:07] <gaelfx> Xavura: how is it messed up?
[07:07] <Xavura> because it's not in the right format?
[07:07] <gaelfx> Xavura: haha, yeah, I know the feeling
[07:08] <Xavura> It's probably some NTSC crap or something
[07:08] <Xavura> My games console outputs PAL60
[07:08] <yayabutterton> gaelfx, i'll check.... brb
[07:08] <Xavura> I need a REAL application with REAL settings so I can actually get it working
[07:08] <Xavura> This one has a record button and nothing else
[07:08] <Xavura> basically
[07:08] <Xavura> and it just crashed
[07:08] <gaelfx> yayabutterton: it might not be tools, but one of the menus has repositories, you can change the update server from there
[07:08] <Xavura> what a steaming pile of garbage
[07:09] <gaelfx> Xavura: sorry to hear that
[07:09] <gaelfx> Xavura: which webcam are you using?
[07:09] <wbmj> yayabutterton...are you looking for a faster repository
[07:09] <Xavura> gaelfx: It isn't a webcam, it's a usb device
[07:09] <Xavura> ADS Tech Video Xpress
[07:10] <chriswr> wbmj: i have no idea were to go on this page to get this thing
[07:10] <gaelfx> Xavura: ooooooooh, in that case, I'm not really sure what to do, but hang on I'll see if I can find anything
[07:10] <wbmj> chriswr....Repository Howto
[07:10] <chriswr> wbmj: nvm i think i found it
[07:10] <chriswr> lol
[07:10] <yayabutterton> wbmj, no, i'm trying to connect to the ones that are already listed there. they exist, but don't connect.
[07:11] <Xavura> gaelfx: It doesn't matter, any software that can pick up a webcam or a video recorder or a TV or **** whatever should be able to pick this up
[07:11] <chriswr> wbmj: this ?      #
[07:11] <chriswr> sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[07:11] <chriswr> #
[07:11] <FloodBot1> chriswr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:11] <Xavura> gaelfx: There were literally hundreds of apps on Windows that would pick up my device, there should be a lot for LInux too
[07:11] <wbmj> chriswr yes ...paste in terminal
[07:11] <gaelfx> Xavura: well, there probably are, it's just a matter of figuring out which one works best with your hardware
[07:12] <ross> win
[07:12] <chriswr> wbmj: ok , i think its in there now
[07:12] <chriswr> wbmj: try it again now?
[07:13] <wbmj> chriswr scroll down and paste the keyring command from the Medibuntu page
[07:13] <ericjones> Does anyone know how to enable java in konqueror? I have it installed and working in firefox.
[07:13] <Xavura> gaelfx: I don't care, I just want one that offers me some kind of customization, like err, what *** type of signal is being sent (PAL/NTSC) and even then there are sub things like PAL G, PAL 60 etc.
[07:13] <Debian_Noobie> PTP i/o error?
[07:14] <Xavura> I just need something that actually has options
[07:14] <gaelfx> Xavura: this device is designed for TV capture?
[07:14] <Xavura> err
[07:14] <Xavura> anything capture
[07:14] <Xavura> games console, VHS, dvd player
[07:14] <Xavura> whatever
[07:14] <Xavura> Anything that has a COMPONENT output
[07:14] <gaelfx> Xavura: anything with a coax then?
[07:15] <Kraplax> heya =)
[07:15] <Xavura> That would be A/V
[07:15] <bazhang> !enter > Xavura
[07:15] <seraph_> Hey guys, can anyone suggest a good program in which I can freely change the metadata tags on some files?
[07:15] <Kraplax> i'm new to GNOME
[07:15] <Xavura> bazhang: I know, I can't help it ALL the time jesus christ
[07:15] <Xavura> gaelfx: No, component, A/V, red white yellow cables, you know what I mean?
[07:15] <Kraplax> how do i customize themes and what are those applets?
[07:15] <bazhang> Xavura, please dont use enter key as punctuation
[07:15] <gaelfx> Xavura: yeah, ok
[07:15] <Xavura> bazhang: stfu.
[07:15] <Xavura> I heard you the first time.
[07:15] <jbroome> hahaha
[07:15] <seraph_> Xavura: Don't be like that.
[07:16] <Debian_Noobie> amen
[07:16] <Xavura> I did though, why did he need to say it again?
[07:16] <CoolFox> Xavura, may i butt in? what about av?
[07:16] <bazhang> Xavura, dont use that acronym here.
[07:16] <chriswr> wbmj: that it after keyring?
[07:16] <Debian_Noobie> anyone have camera experience?
[07:16] <seraph_> Xavura: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. :) Just ignore it if it bothers you.
[07:16] <Kraplax> how do i install and use them?
[07:16] <Xavura> After he told me not to use the enter key as punctuation, I DIDN'T, so why tell me again?
[07:16]  * CoolFox points over here for camcorder experience.
[07:16] <Xavura> There was absolutely no need to.
[07:16] <seraph_> Xavura: You're leading this off-topic. Please stay on-topic here.
[07:17] <Xavura> I will if I stop getting grief. [/end]
[07:17] <seraph_> !off-topic | xavura
[07:17] <wbmj> chriswr....now you will be able to load the codecs from Synaptic....look for mpg and w32 with the search function
[07:17] <Xavura> I'm going to put ubottu on ignore.
[07:17] <Xavura> Leave me alone with your off-topic/enter thing, I'll shut up now.
[07:17] <Kraplax> is it support Channel?
[07:17] <seraph_> Xavura: That's not a good idea. How will you be able to benefit from factoids?
[07:17] <gaelfx> anyone feel up to dealing with something that is possibly a PPPoE issue?
[07:17] <jbroome> best meltdown evar
[07:18] <bazhang> Kraplax, get themes from gnome-look.org
[07:18] <seraph_> Can someone please suggest a good program that will allow me to edit metadata on some files?
[07:18] <Xavura> !off-topic | seraph
[07:18] <Xavura> Annyone isn't it?
[07:18] <Xavura> That's why. As said before, I will shut up because now I really am off topic.
[07:18] <seraph_> Xavura: It didn't work. You forgot the underscore after my name. :)
[07:18] <kcman> flannel are you there?
[07:18] <Flannel> seraph_: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you insist on arguing
[07:18] <Flannel> kcman: What's up?
[07:18] <Debian_Noobie> i get this PTP i/o error when i try to copy files from camera
[07:18] <chriswr> wbmj: what am i looking for ?
[07:18] <Xavura> I don't care, my point is when people do their !blah | Xavura thing it annoys the crap out of me.
[07:19] <bazhang> Xavura, please stop.
[07:19] <seraph_> Flannel: I was just making him aware of the underscore for future reference. How is that arguing?
[07:19] <Kraplax> --------------- SORYY!!! IS THERE ANYONE ON-TOPIC TO SUPPORT GNOME NEWBIE??? -----------------
[07:19] <kcman> flannel did you get what unavailable was talking with me and turning on 3d rendering in my ati rage mobility??
[07:19] <seraph_> Anyone? Program for editting metadata?
[07:19] <wbmj> chriswr w32codecs, vlc-plugins, mpg
[07:19] <seraph_> Kraplax: What do you need?
[07:19] <jbroome> a news capslock apparently
[07:19] <bazhang> Kraplax, you should check gnome-look.org
[07:19] <Kraplax> i just want to know how to install and use applets
[07:19] <yayabutterton> seraph_, are you talking about mp3 files?
[07:20] <Xavura> Applets?
[07:20] <Kraplax> i heard of them
[07:20] <Flannel> kcman: Yeah.  I'm not really a video driver person, but yep.  What card is it?
[07:20] <seraph_> yayabutterton: m4b
[07:20] <bazhang> Kraplax, for screenlets gdesklets or other?
[07:20] <gaelfx> can someone please help me correct a problem with my internet connection in Hardy?
[07:20] <wbmj> Kraplax...any particular applet?
[07:20] <Kraplax> now, in general
[07:20] <kcman> flannel hold on i will get the grep up and copy it for you
[07:20] <Kraplax> oopps
[07:20] <yayabutterton> same, same. i don't know much yet, but i do know that amarok is outstanding for that
[07:20] <bazhang> Kraplax, install screenlets
[07:20] <Debian_Noobie> really stumped on this camera error
[07:20] <seraph_> !question | gaelfx
[07:20] <Kraplax> now=no
[07:20] <huba1> Kraplax: one easy way is to download the dkpg file and install it that way :)
[07:20] <Xavura> gaelfx: Did you make any progress finding a program
[07:20] <Slinky> btw chriswr did you figure out the grub thing?
[07:21] <seraph_> yayabutterton: For m4b? I think you're mistaken there.
[07:21] <Slinky> the os's are listed at the bottom
[07:21] <bazhang> Kraplax, it works with compiz
[07:21] <wbmj> Kraplets do you want panel applets or gApplets
[07:21] <gaelfx> seraph_: yeah, I know, but I've already asked the question several times to no avail, I'm trying not to simply repeat myself over and over again
[07:21] <chriswr> wbmj: ill just install everything that includes vlc plugin
[07:21] <chriswr> slinky: nope
[07:21] <kcman> flannel 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) that is what my lspci is telling me is in there
[07:21] <Kraplax> so, on gnome-look those are provided as .dpkg files?
[07:21] <yayabutterton> seraph_, m4b is audio or video?
[07:21] <gaelfx> seraph_: or trick some poor unsuspecting rube into helping me
[07:21] <wbmj> Chriswr :) can't hurt
[07:21] <chriswr> slinky: been trying on this video problem
[07:21] <seraph_> gaelfx: My bad. What is the question? Also, CTRL+C and CTRL+V works well.
[07:21] <bazhang> Kraplax, tar.gz mostly
[07:21] <Kraplax> hm..
[07:21] <gaelfx> Xavura: no, not yet, still looking
[07:22] <Kraplax> and what about installing themes?
[07:22] <seraph_> yayabutterton: It's audio, but it has little support beyond just playing in Amarok.
[07:22] <Xavura> I have been looking for hours on end for a program to stream and/or record from my usb device (that goes to my games console via component cable). I have tried MythTV (doesn't work) and Cheese (doesn't offer options to turn the format to Pal60, hence fails dramatically). Does anyone know what software I need?
[07:22] <yayabutterton> hmmm....my bad.
[07:22] <Kraplax> i don't really fond of standard Human one
[07:22] <Xavura> Kraplax: You get a bunch of themes with it
[07:22] <bazhang> Kraplax, generally you download the theme and put in the theme manager
[07:22] <Xavura> Kraplax: Do what I did when I first got Ubuntu, go through all the menus and all the options
[07:22] <wbmj> Kraplax once you download a theme you can usually drag it in to themes manager
[07:22] <Debian_Noobie> anyone know anything on usb and cameras?
[07:22] <chriswr> wbmj: should i just install all 3 things including w32?
[07:23] <wbmj> chriswr..yes
[07:23] <Slinky> Xavura: a compiler some video driver source code and a greasy unwashed beard
[07:23] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through PPPoE and a static IP and I can't get a consistent connection in Hardy, but I can easily get one in Windows
[07:23] <bazhang> Kraplax, you need to actually download some themes and try first
[07:23] <Kraplax> wbmj, so drag'n'drop should work? nice =)
[07:23] <Xavura> Slinky: I have the driver for my device installed, err now what
[07:23] <chriswr> wbmj: wow thats a big download for 3 items lol
[07:23] <kcman> flannel he sent me this link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.8.0-1 which has a .deb on it and i d/loaded it and installed it so now i am sure i am running with a driver but i still have no 3d rendering, i found this link http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide and that has some detailed stuff on there but could i mess my machine up with it is what i guess i am asking?
[07:23] <Kraplax> ok, thank you all =)
[07:23] <wbmj> Kraklax yes
[07:23] <bazhang> Kraplax, not all will work with drag and drop; depends on how well the theme is designed
[07:24] <Slinky> eh it was just a jab at the standard linux nerd who would start writing his own software
[07:24] <Kraplax> #ubuntu-ru wasn't that friendly =)
[07:24] <Xavura> How often can I paste my question without me being considered as excessive?
[07:24] <Xavura> Every 10-20 minutes?
[07:24] <Xavura> Because it gets skipped all the time.
[07:24] <ReAn[Laptop]> need to do the linux version of /release & /renew, how do i do that again?
[07:24] <wbmj> Xavura lol
[07:24] <Kraplax> bazhang - thanks, i'll try to find those out =)
[07:24] <Vegombrei> i need some serious adviceguys
[07:24] <Xavura> Sorry about the enter thing, it's a HABIT, I can't help it.
[07:24] <bazhang> np
[07:24] <Slinky> !network | ReAn[Laptop]
[07:24] <Xavura> Habits are hard to break, just don't **** at me, I try not to use enter when I'm here
[07:24] <bazhang> ReAn[Laptop], for ip or other
[07:25] <ReAn[Laptop]> Slinky: it's not wireless >_>
[07:25] <Achiyahu> Shalom everyone. How are you all today?>
[07:25] <Xavura> Do I really need to paste this? Wow, ok, how often should I paste my question before I am regarded as excessive and/ or annoying?
[07:25] <Slinky> eh i was just guessing at keywords
[07:25] <Slinky> Xavura: thats so meta
[07:25] <gaelfx> ok, I apologize, but I must do it again
[07:25] <Achiyahu> Xavura: What is the problem pal?
[07:25] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through PPPoE and a static IP and I can't get a consistent connection in Hardy, but I can easily get one in Windows
[07:25] <Xavura> Achiyahu: I have been looking for hours on end for a program to stream and/or record from my usb device (that goes to my games console via component cable). I have tried MythTV (doesn't work) and Cheese (doesn't offer options to turn the format to PAL 60, hence fails dramatically). Does anyone know what software I need?
[07:25] <bazhang> ReAn[Laptop], please clarify; you mean wired (ethernet)?
[07:26] <Xavura> Achiyahu: I have managed to get the drivers installed, I just need software
[07:26] <Vegombrei> i have a sony vaio tz .. basically its a tiny laptop with a 1.2 ghz processor and 1 gb ram.. you think ubuntu would be more efficient on that than windows ??
[07:26] <MatthewV> Xavura, what sort of usb device?
[07:26] <error404notfound> how do I set most as the default pager for man?
[07:26] <Xavura> Vegombrei: Definitely!
[07:26] <bazhang> Vegombrei, try the live cd first
[07:26] <Xavura> MatthewV: ADS Tech Video Xpress
[07:26] <Slinky> Vegombrei: you never specified what you're doing with it
[07:26] <Achiyahu> Xacura: So you're trying to record what you're doing on a video game console onto your computer via USB?
[07:26] <Xavura> Achiyahu: Yes.
[07:26] <ReAn[Laptop]> Yes, i need to tell eth0 to request a new ip from my DHCP
[07:27] <Xavura> I did it on Windows with no problem
[07:27] <Slinky> bazhang: don't recommend the live cd as a proper test of his system
[07:27] <Xavura> there were hundreds of applications for it
[07:27] <Vegombrei> Xavura: but dude i installed it on a compaq laptop of mine and it was just too processor hungry .. windows seemed much lighter
[07:27] <Achiyahu> Xavura: One moment while I check this issue.
[07:27] <bazhang> Slinky, that is generally the accepted method here for testing out hardware etc
[07:27] <Xavura> Vegombrei: LOL, right, seriously mate you're going to get more bang for your buck with Ubuntu than with Windows
[07:27] <chriswr> does anyone know if its possible to get a new ip address , or etleast fake one?
[07:27] <Vegombrei> Slinky: doc ppt xls email
[07:28] <Xavura> Vegombrei: I run on 1 GB RAM with a 2.8 GHZ Processor, it runs amazingly, maybe you should upgrade your Processor a little? Your RAM is fine though.
[07:28] <Slinky> seeing if it works, not if it'll be used better than windows could
[07:28] <Debian_Noobie> !F-spot
[07:28] <bindaas> ﻿gaelfx:what exactly is roblem with pppoe?
[07:28] <Slinky> Vegombrei: linux has everything you need now
[07:28] <andresj> hey. what music player do you recommend that can play asx streams? i need it to be simple and gtk+ based. preferably in the ubuntu repositories :P
[07:28] <Xavura> Achiyahu: Thanks
[07:28] <bindaas> s/roblem/problem
[07:29] <Xavura> typo replacement om nom nom
[07:29] <gaelfx> bindaas: sometimes, when I connect to it, it goes perfectly, but overwhelmingly the connection iruns at about 1/10th what it should
[07:29] <kcma1> flannel i am sorry my battery needs some attention did you get my last messages?
[07:29] <gaelfx> iruns==runs
[07:29] <Achiyahu> Xavura: You're on Hardy?
[07:29] <Xavura> Achiyahu: Yeah
[07:30] <serveradmin> .
[07:30] <Slinky> haha serveradmin named his account serveradmin
[07:30] <Flannel> kcma1: Why didn't you just install that driver from the repos?  Have you tried the wiki instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[07:30] <chriswr> does anyone know if its possible to get a new ip address , or etleast fake one?
[07:30] <Vegombrei> Xavura: dude its the tinyest sony laptop .. i dont wanna mess with it as its running just fine on windows .. however its become a bit slow .. a friend of mine installed ubuntu on his laptop .. was a compaq .. he said it began working really hard .. started running flat out and made a lot of sounds .. said windows was much quieter on it and the speed didnt make much of a difference
[07:30] <gaelfx> bindaas: if it helps, the slowness applies to both up and down streams
[07:31] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: that's strange because my Compaq runs much better and quieter on Ubuntu
[07:31] <ganes1> how to connect a ubuntu sys with vista using lan?i just installed ubuntu and connected lan cable but no conection
[07:31] <coffee1> hey guys
[07:31] <gaelfx> vegombrei: do you know which version he installed?
[07:32] <Slinky> chriswr: why do you need a fake ip?
[07:32] <Xavura> Vegombrei: Well whatever you and your friend say, I know for a fact that Ubuntu runs better than ANY version of Windows on MOST machines
[07:32] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: gutsy
[07:32] <Slinky> chriswr: either go through a proxy or request one from your ISP
[07:32] <negge^> ganes1: what do you mean by connect?
[07:32] <Xavura> Try Hardy, it's a beast.
[07:32] <chriswr> slinky: lol , ip ban on game
[07:32] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: I had a similar problem when I installed it, it was because of the Tracker search tool
[07:32] <ganes1> in vista in the view status bar it shows sent 290 received 0
[07:33] <chriswr> slinky: would proxy work with program servers?
[07:33] <clarkey> hi I have a problem trying to enable DRI for some reason it seems it is loaded in the Xorg.0.log as all looks good and I get messages indicating it is loaded and working but then when I run glxinfo it is reported that direct rendering is not on any ideas? I am running mythbuntu on a VIA EPIA board which has the CLE266 graphics
[07:33] <Slinky> chriswr: request one from your ISP
[07:33] <puwei> hi can u tell me what's a Hady?
[07:33] <Slinky> proxies are horrible for games
[07:33] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: you need to use System Monitor to see which process is using the CPU and kill it
[07:33] <ReAn[Laptop]> how to i clear ATP's cache? im trying to install a samba package and it keeps insisting on installing NIS, i dont even want NIS
[07:33] <puwei> does that mean mobiephone?
[07:33] <Achiyahu> Xavura: Have you tried freevo or Elisa?
[07:33] <xTheGoat121x> Afternoon everyone
[07:33] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: and make sure that the app that uses that process does not run on startup
[07:33] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: how do i disable the tracker search tool ?? what is it by the way ?
[07:34] <xTheGoat121x> I've got a question, not really Ubuntu related but I don't know where else to ask
[07:34] <Slinky> tracker is a file indexer
[07:34] <Slinky> !tracker | Vegombrei
[07:34] <ganes1> negge^: i cant see vista sys in windows network
[07:34] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: it's an indexing service that makes it easier to search files on your computer
[07:34] <chriswr> slinky: lol , ok , thnx , would that effect anyone elses connection to the internet cause we got a xbox360 , and 2 computers hookes up to the same router
[07:34] <Xavura> Achiyahu: Nope, neither, I've only tried Cheese (worked but the picture was extremely distorted and it offered no options) and MythTV (utter garbage, didn't work for me)
[07:34] <Xavura> What are the package names for freevo and elisa
[07:34] <Achiyahu> Xavura: Give freevo a try. It's pretty highly rated and, as I understand it, quite powerful.
[07:34] <kcma1> flannel yeah he sent me that link too all i really want to know is if i mess this up on my end will i be reinstalling my system alone or is there a life line for me in case my wintendo days catch me and i mess up you know what i mean?
[07:34] <Xavura> Achiyahu: THANK YOU so much...
[07:34] <Xavura> I will try it
[07:35] <ganes1>   negge^:in vista in the view status bar it shows sent 290 received 0
[07:35] <MatthewV> Xavura, elisa is package elisa - but doesn't do any video capture or anything like that at the moment
[07:35] <xTheGoat121x> It seems that my MP3 player's clock only advances when the player is on... is there a reason for that?
[07:35] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: You can disable it from starting up when your computer starts by going to Services in the Administration menu
[07:35] <Achiyahu> Xavura: No problem. :D
[07:35] <Slinky> chriswr: dunno about the xbox, maybe xbox live? as far as the router, nope. also some game accounts are tied to ip
[07:35] <Flannel> kcma1: install the "irssi" package, then if you don't have a GUI, you can log in to your terminal, type "irssi" and connect to here (and w3m is a terminal web browser)
[07:35] <Xavura> elisa doesn't do video capture?
[07:35] <Xavura> How come you suggested it then Achiyahu?
[07:35] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: oh ok .. andjust disable it there
[07:35] <negge^> ganes1: I have no idea what you're talking about
[07:36] <Xavura> I'm trying freevo now, anyway.
[07:36] <s3a> is there a gnash that works with youtube? like an alpha or beta or wtv?
[07:36] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: hold on lemme try it and restart .. brb
[07:36] <chriswr> slinky: ok ill check when i call , thnx
[07:36] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: as I recall, that worked for me, but you might want to try to find more info on the forums
[07:36] <s3a> or anything that is free as in freedom
[07:36] <negge^> you mean you want to connect an Ubuntu machine and a Vista machine together directly with a LAN cable?
[07:36] <Achiyahu> Xavura: I did so as a mistake. Last time I peeked at it, it was still being developed and there was talk that it would.
[07:36] <kcma1> flannel i am a total linux noob so i am not to sure what all that ment lol
[07:36] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: ok
[07:36] <kcma1> flannel sorry brother
[07:36] <Slinky> hey with my tv input card i can only get up to channel 71, out of my 400 something channels, what's up with that
[07:37] <chriswr> wbmj: hmmmm , same error..... any more ideas?
[07:37] <gaelfx> bindaas: do you have any ideas about what I should do with my PPPoE?
[07:37] <Flannel> kcma1: install irssi (sudo apt-get install irssi) then if you can't log in (although there should be a failsafe for X anyway), but if you can't get a GUI, you can run irssi, and it'll connect you here.  You can also run "w3m" to have a web browser, in case you need to search the forums/whatever
[07:37] <Achiyahu> kcmal: GUI - Graphical User Interface - aka windows and their interactiabilities (is that a word? lol), Packages are the program packages.
[07:37] <Xavura> Achiyahu: Check priv msg real quick
[07:37] <huba1> I think you need to adjust your firewall settings
[07:38] <huba1> as well as wireless properties.
[07:38] <ganes1> negge^: ok just tell me how to LAN ubuntu and vista....i just wired these two systems
[07:38] <huba1> To let vista machine accessable from others on network.
[07:38] <negge^> ganes1: are they wired directly or through a switch/router?
[07:39] <ganes1> negge^:directly
[07:39] <negge^> okay
[07:39] <huba1> I spent a fuking 3 hours trying all kinds of different config to let my vista work. :( That is why I change to linux, because that sucked.
[07:39] <negge^> I have no experience with connecting computers directly
[07:39] <ganes1> ganes1:   directly
[07:39] <Slinky> linux is better than vista can ever hope to be
[07:39] <bindaas>  gaelfx: i doubt there is any optimisations for pppoee but please also check u are not running two instances of pppd
[07:39] <MatthewV> !language | huba1
[07:40] <Slinky> does using the bot make a slap on the wrist easier to take?
[07:40] <Achiyahu> Because we all know that we all bring our families to chill here. :)
[07:40] <gaelfx> bindaas: well, in ifconfig, it only shows the ethernet, the loopback and the pppoe connection, so I don't think that I'm running two instances
[07:40] <Slinky> in fact my 7 year old cousin was on here just the other day
[07:40] <MatthewV> Slinky, sorry, was that addressed to me?
[07:40] <kcma1> flannel ok the irssi is installed, i am guessing that is my failsafe? so now i follow the instructions on the link you sent me
[07:40] <gaelfx> bindaas: or is that not the way to check that?
[07:40] <Slinky> matthewv: yeah
[07:41] <Slinky> anyone who uses !language really
[07:41] <Achiyahu> Slinky: It was rhetoric.
[07:41] <Flannel> kcma1: that's the failsafe to the failsafe.
[07:41] <ganes1> negge^:  directly
[07:41] <Slinky> Achiyahu: I know that
[07:41] <negge^> ganes1: yeah yeah you said it two times already
[07:41] <kcma1> flannel man i am sorry i am still way learning a lot of stuff here lol
[07:41] <binskipy2u> hey guys, what is the correct syntax for open office to remove it totally?
[07:41] <Slinky> Achiyahu: actually it was sarcasm
[07:41] <binskipy2u> after todays updates, many for open office, none of the apps will open
[07:41] <negge^> ganes1: I don't even know how to connect to Windows machines together like that so I don't think I can help you
[07:41] <MatthewV> Slinky, the point of the factoids from ubottu are just to make it easier to access frequently used bit's of advice, whether that be things like !language or !anyone, or whether other things like !grub or !hardy
[07:41] <Achiyahu> !off-topic | slinky
[07:42] <Flannel> kcma1: No worries.  We're all new at some point
[07:42] <bindaas> ﻿gaelfx>that wont tell u at one time there will only be one pppoe but one pppoe will block other,check with this --> ps -e | grep pppd
[07:42] <Slinky> MatthewV, I know that, I'm talking about !language
[07:42] <Slinky> in particular
[07:42] <darthanubis> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ
[07:42] <ganes1> any one help me with LAN ubuntu vista...
[07:42] <darthanubis> The Ubuntu taskbar in that video thats floating around
[07:42] <darthanubis> what is that?
[07:42] <kcma1> flannel how do i Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager
[07:42] <Achiyahu> !question | ganes1
[07:43] <sabnai> ganes1: make sure if you are using a cable direct to each ethernet card that you use a patch cable, a regular ethernet cable won't work
[07:43] <Flannel> kcma1: Open up restricted ... drivers, manager, whatever its called.  And there'll be a checkbox for you to check (to enable) if your card is supported by the restricted drivers
[07:43] <anto9us> ganes1, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[07:43] <l815> how come I can't play sound from more than one application at a time?
[07:44] <chriswr> wbmj: i figured out whats wrong but i need a little more help
[07:44] <negge^> l815: it should work by default
[07:44] <MatthewV> l815 what version of ubuntu?
[07:44] <gaelfx> bindaas: ok, let me reboot into linux and check, I'll be back shortly
[07:44] <nano_> Is there any way to change my screensaver (when I'm on laptop battery) from blankscreen to something else??
[07:44] <anto9us> ganes1, there is a registry hack that you also have to perform on vista
[07:44] <Achiyahu> l816: Check if your computer hates you. That's a common problem. = /
[07:44] <l815> hardy
[07:44] <s3a> can any1 help me with a simple python problem?
[07:44] <kcma1> flannel is that under the synaptic?
[07:44] <exot> hello, I would like to connect to my ubuntu server using pptp .. any help ?
[07:44] <negge^> if it doesn't go to System --> Preferences -> Sound and check that ALSA is used in all boxes
[07:44] <l815> I'm trying to run Gnarual2 and play music but I can only play one at a time
[07:44] <Flannel> kcma1: No, it's under system > admin > restricted drivers manager (I believe)
[07:45] <Achiyahu> nano_: I have this problem too, even on powered. Sometimes it displays my screensaver, sometimes not.
[07:45] <chriswr> anyone know how to stop rythmbox from canceling out movie player or vise versa
[07:45] <s3a> kcma1: system-->administration->hardware drivers*
[07:45] <andresj> hey. what music player do you recommend that can play asx streams? i need it to be simple and gtk+ based. preferably in the ubuntu repositories :P
[07:45] <anto9us> ganes1, see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&SiteID=1&PageID=1&PostID=660925
[07:45] <andresj> btw, xine can play it but mplayer cant.
[07:45] <Achiyahu> andresj: I *think* amarok?
[07:45] <aib> i have a 64 bit system. why is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a symlink to /usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2, which is a 32 bit library?!
[07:45] <ganes1> sabnai:  Achiyahu:  anto9us: with ubuntu 7.1 i did..with 8.04 i could not...in vista if i click view status it shows sent 390 received 0
[07:45] <nano_> Achiyahu: well if you have a laptop and you run it on battery power, then the screensaver is usually a blank screen as the power settings don't want to use up battery power doing clock cycles for a pretty looking screensaver
[07:45] <kcma1> s3a okay thank you
[07:46] <s3a> kcma1: np
[07:46] <nano_> Achiyahu: but I don't know why you have that problem when you are on ac power
[07:46] <chriswr> anyone know how to stop rythmbox from canceling out movie player or vise versa
[07:46] <andresj> Achiyahu: that's for kde/qt :) i want to try a gnome one :P
[07:46] <Slinky> guys is there some reason my key binding of Mod4(windows key) + L doesnt lock down my computer?
[07:46] <kcma1> s3a under system admin hardware drivers there is nothing in the main window of the app???
[07:46] <ReAn[Laptop]> !samba
[07:47] <Achiyahu> nano_: Primarily because my computer is in a love/hate relationship with me, I think. I ran a [sudo !howmuchlove] test and it came back [Who's Lisa?]. I think I am in trouble...
[07:47] <Achiyahu> =D
[07:47] <chriswr> slinky: doesnt work on mine either
[07:47] <s3a> kcma1: did u install in free software only mode? well either way i think adding repository thing should fix ur problem
[07:47] <MatthewV> Slinky, have you set that in System --> Preferences --> Keyboard shortcuts?
[07:47] <Achiyahu> andresj: My bad bud.
[07:47] <nano_> Achiyahu: :)
[07:47] <s3a> system-->administration-->software sources
[07:47] <Slinky> matthewv: yep
[07:47] <s3a> kcma1: system-->administration-->software sources
[07:47] <l815> so does know how to fix my problem?
[07:47] <Slinky> even set gnome to use mod4 instead of super L
[07:48] <negge^> l815: did you try my suggestion?
[07:48] <s3a> kcma1: then check everything to be downloadable from internet
[07:48] <l815> negge^,  oh i didnt see it , 1 sec
[07:48] <MatthewV> Slinky, it works for me... maybe compiz is grabbing that key combo..? compiz uses Super + ? for a lot of it's shortcuts...
[07:48] <s3a> kcma1: actually donr
[07:48] <l815> negge^,   yah alsa is set as the sound device
[07:48] <s3a> dont*
[07:48] <kcma1> s3a okay
[07:48] <negge^> l815: hmm okay
[07:48] <Slinky> MatthewV: how do I check?
[07:49] <s3a> kcma1: check only (restricted)
[07:49] <andresj> Achiyahu: haha thats ok :)
[07:49] <chriswr> shujah: hey , your always good help , you know why my rythmbox is canceling out my movie player , or vise versa , while running at same time
[07:49] <s3a> kcma1: dont uncheck the ones that were alredy checked
[07:49] <Vegombrei> how does one turn off the tracker search tool ?
[07:49] <Slinky> !tracker Vegombrei
[07:49] <Dummy> when I connect to work using vpn, my /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten when the dhcp release is renewed. it's mighty annoying. anyone got an idea how to fix/prevent?
[07:49] <Slinky> !tracker | Vegombrei
[07:49] <MatthewV> Slinky, do you have CCSM installed and changed anything in there?
[07:49] <KyleO> Ok, having wifi issues, my wifi card ("iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.26ks"), using the iwl3945 driver, is absolutely ridiculously slow. As in, I'm topping out at about 1mbps (140kB/s) bandwidth cap. when downloading a file, everything else is screeching to a halt, even ssh. It's like my bandwidth is being completely flooded. Occasionally I'll be able to get to a regular speed, but ...
[07:49] <Slinky> !CCSM
[07:50] <KyleO> ... it drops soon after. I've tried a few different kernels, compiled my own, and compiled the actualy driver, but I'm just not able to get it to work, any ideas?
[07:50] <Slinky> yeah I do
[07:50] <Vegombrei> Slinky: not uninstall ... disable
[07:50] <kcma1> s3a well everything is checked and source code box has a line in it
[07:50] <Shujah> chriswr, canceling out how?
[07:50] <s3a> kcma1: ok well i dont no y that isnt working for u, dint system-->administration-->hardware drivers have a box to check?
[07:51] <s3a> kcma1: if it doesnt, there is an alternative solution
[07:51] <tobago> i got a problem with a package: dpkg: ERROR while removing gforge-ldap-openldap. the state of the package is "ri" (removed/ installed !?!), which is quite messy.
[07:51] <kcma1> i checked everything when i installed the os, and no there has never been anything in hardware drivers
[07:51] <s3a> kcma1: y do u want proprietary drivers in the first place?
[07:51] <gopodge> Can anyone else verify if they get a big green square on the side when the visit this site: http://www.bunnings.com.au/discover/ACT/storesearch.aspx
[07:52] <kcma1> s3a i dont care where the drivers come from, all i want is 3d rendering
[07:52] <gopodge> Wnat to know if it is my setup or if this site does not like Linux and Firefox..
[07:52] <chriswr> shuja: if i play movie player , then use rythmbox (at same time) the music box wont play and show an error , and if i start rythmbox and then movie player , the video runs SUPER slow  , like 1 sec of video takes about 30 secs
[07:52] <new1> ﻿Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?  if you have the answer PLZ IM me!
[07:52] <gaelfx> bindaas: there is only one pppd process
[07:52] <MatthewV> Slinky, only thing i could think of is opening it up (System --> Preferences --> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings) and seeing anything, but default should be fine... maybe temporarily disabling compiz?? gtg for a while now though, sry
[07:52] <Slinky> s3a: because they allow people to use their hardware to the full potential
[07:52] <kcma1> s3a if at all possible but most ways of doing it seem to run a risk of ruining my machine
[07:52] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: dude how do you disable tracker .,.. there was no option at startup dude
[07:52] <mewt> digg please http://digg.com/comedy/Shouldn_t_All_Advertising_Be_Like_This_pic
[07:52] <Slinky> matthewv: how do i access the compiz manager?
[07:52] <Slinky> mewt: no
[07:52] <bazhang> mewt, not here
[07:53] <mewt> sorry
[07:53] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: hey, you need to go to Administration-> Services
[07:53] <s3a> kcma1: its not risky
[07:53] <s3a> Slinky: i dont think that always applies
[07:53] <anto9us> gopodge, only with the flash component enabled
[07:53] <slump> hi. i have blacklisted ssb module (echo blacklist ssb >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist). I ran update-initramfs -uv but it stills show that it's adding the ssb module. any idea?
[07:53] <Slinky> s3a: it usually does
[07:53] <robf_> mewt: buried ,  thanks for asking.
[07:53] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: wait, you're right, hold on
[07:53] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: ok imin
[07:53] <gopodge> anto9us: Can I disable flash per site?
[07:53] <mewt> sorry guys
[07:53] <s3a> Slinky: ya ur right
[07:54] <anto9us> gopodge, yes, I use the noscript firefox addon
[07:54] <joshual> hi folks, have two user accounts (just added a"guest" account for someone else to use my machine.) I cannot apply Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects, either Normal or Extra... I just get a little window that says "Visual Effects cannot be applied" or something extremely close...
[07:54] <s3a> kcma1: ok so
[07:54] <Slinky> mewt: thats some pathetically stale humor and we aren't your personal attention generators
[07:54] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: its not in there
[07:54] <gopodge> anto9us: Thankyou for your help.
[07:54] <Shujah> chriswr, most probably because of sound issues. change the sound mixer in menu > preferences > sounds and try to run two media apps simultaneously
[07:54] <Slinky> joshual: what video driver are you using?
[07:54] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: yeah, I know, but try this: go to System->Preferences-> Searching and Indexing
[07:55] <s3a> kcma1: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
[07:55] <sdakak> I was fooling around with session options in System>Preferences>Sessions. Now everytime I restart I get apps and windows from previous session running. How do I change this behaviour?
[07:55] <KyleO> Any other having issues with the iwl3945 driver? It completely tops off at about 1mbps, or between 100kB/s to 150kB/s
[07:55] <sdakak> Slinky: attention generators? Are you sure it even fits the sentence?
[07:55] <s3a> kcma1: that will download and install a program that u have to use in order to download & install ur proprietary video drivers
[07:55] <Shujah> chriswr, or run rhythem player then start titem like this > artsdsp totem
[07:55] <robf_> sdakak: ya thats bad when you shutdown with porn sites open and then your mom wants to use your computer
[07:56] <crob> how to change the logon window from kde to xwindow
[07:56] <Slinky> sdakak: if english isn't your primary language, then please don't try to correct others on it, thanks
[07:56] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: aha, I found it. Go to System->Preferences->Sessions

[07:56] <Xavura> I can't find the package
[07:56] <binskipy2u> i tried reinstalling all open office.org packages in synaptic
[07:56] <binskipy2u> didnt work
[07:57] <robf_> sdakak: you asked how to fix the behavior regarding apps respawning in last state on restart
[07:57] <s3a> can sum1 plz help me with a python question cuz im reading byteofpython and am stuck sumwere

[07:57] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: oh dude i just got rid of that indexing stuff
[07:57] <robf_> sdakak: just saying that could indeed be a problem
[07:57] <Xavura> s3a: #python
[07:57] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: its doing something says its gonna take a while
[07:57] <s3a> Xavura: its full
[07:57] <Xavura> lol, really?
[07:57] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: oh, ok, so is there still a problem?
[07:57] <sdakak> Slinky: What you said previously doesn't make sense whatever is your primary language.
[07:57] <s3a> Xavura: ya
[07:57] <robf_> sdakak: yes it does in context...
[07:57] <Kartagis> hi
[07:57] <robf_> sdakak: he was saying we're not here to generate hits/diggs for the guy
[07:57] <s3a> Xavura: and its been full for days
[07:57] <crob> i installed the kde4 and selected kde . and then the logon windows was changed to kde4 after i reboot the ubuntu
[07:57] <bazhang> please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:57] <crob> how to restore ?
[07:57] <Slinky> thanks robf_
[07:57] <binskipy2u> anyone????????
[07:58] <kcma1> s3a i am done with it what next
[07:58] <gopodge> anto9us: Works great!
[07:58] <robf_> although it is an odd sounding sentance without context ;)
[07:58] <Xavura> s3a: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:58] <binskipy2u> any ideas why open office wont start after doing an update the other day?
[07:58] <binskipy2u> ubuntu 8.04.1
[07:58] <binskipy2u> ?
[07:58] <s3a> kcma1: click applications
[07:58] <robf_> s3a: go ask about python in #perl... :s
[07:58] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: also disabled it from sessions
[07:58] <jarrett> i'm having trouble with proftpd. All new files uploaded have a 002 octa that I have to change by hand with a chmod. They also get a user and group set that isn't the ftp users. I don't know if this from my poor knowledge of users and permissions or something not set up right in proftpd
[07:58] <binskipy2u> anyone see me???
[07:58] <anto9us> gopodge, can be a bit of a nage but a very useful addon
[07:58] <s3a> kcma1: then i think system tools and tell me if u see something like envy?
[07:58] <robf_> just kidding that'd be a bad idea.
[07:58] <binskipy2u> hello?
[07:58] <chriswr> shujah: how do i change it , "default mixer tracks" tab?
[07:58] <Kartagis> i read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html and downloaded the program and everything, then i rebooted and ubuntu recognized the wireless network. but now it doesn't. what must i do?
[07:58] <robf_> binskipy2u: no we don't,  try again
[07:59] <Kraplax> i got another question
[07:59] <bazhang> robf_, you have a support question or just wish to chat
[07:59] <binskipy2u> 1185 people in here and i'm the ONLY one that updated a system and open office wont work at all?
[07:59] <Xavura> Can anyone tell me what the package is called for gorecord?
[07:59] <Kraplax> can anyone tell me where can i get widget styles for GTK?
[07:59] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: is there still a problem?
[07:59] <robf_> both.
[07:59] <bazhang> robf_, chat is not here.
[07:59] <binskipy2u> anyone????????
[07:59] <robf_> Kraplax: expound on your question please...
[07:59] <binskipy2u> please?
[07:59] <robf_> bazhang: yeah yeah.
[07:59] <binskipy2u> im googling and nothing
[07:59] <binskipy2u> i reinstalled it
[07:59] <binskipy2u> i uninstalled it
[07:59] <FloodBot1> binskipy2u: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:59] <Slinky> binskipy2u: I'd say just reinstall the OS. I've had my wifi quit unexpectedly
[07:59] <s3a> binskipy2u: y not trying to reinstall openoffice.org using synaptic?
[07:59] <binskipy2u> i did
[07:59] <Kraplax> robf_, huh?
[07:59] <binskipy2u> stil wont open
[07:59] <robf_> Kraplax: what exactly do you mean "get widget styles"
[08:00] <binskipy2u> BRANd new install
[08:00] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: i donno .. how do i test it ? should i restart or something ?
[08:00] <Kraplax> well, where can i download styles for radiobuttons/checkboxes/buttons/spins etc
[08:00] <robf_> that could mean many things... some of which are not really questions for here,  some which may...
[08:00] <kcma1> s3a yes EnvyNG is the only option
[08:00] <s3a> kcma1: choose it
[08:00] <kcma1> s3a it is not open
[08:00] <anto9us> binarydigit, run openoffice from a terminal window and see what error it gives
[08:01] <Xavura> Has anyone used a program called gorecord?
[08:01] <anto9us> oops, sorry binarydigit that was meant for binskipy2u
[08:01] <robf_> Kraplax: you mean themes?
[08:01] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: well, is your processor still running really hard?
[08:01] <s3a> kcma1: open it
[08:01] <chriswr> shujah: how do i change it , "default mixer tracks" tab?
[08:01] <binskipy2u> still cant run it
[08:01] <robf_> Kraplax: like to add different buttons / etc as window decorations?
[08:01] <anto9us> binskipy2u, what is the error reported?
[08:01] <kcma1> s3a ok it is open and running
[08:02] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: no, even the fan slowed down a bit ... actually thats quite cool man ]
[08:02] <s3a> choose ur video card brand
[08:02] <Shujah> chriswr, there would be a a tab device under it. change it to alsa if its not there already
[08:02] <s3a> kcma1: choose ur video card brand
[08:02] <robf_> Kraplax: eg.  the redmond/vista aero style [X]  versus the mac style lil circle etc etc
[08:02] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: excellent, it should be fine then
[08:02] <s3a> binskipy2u: sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org
[08:02] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: it just needs a little while to cool off, should be good though :D
[08:02] <chriswr> shujah: hold on sound program just jammed
[08:02] <s3a> binskipy2u: b4 u do that
[08:02] <chriswr> shujah: is there a task manager on here?
[08:03] <s3a> binskipy2u: do sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[08:03] <WildOscar> guys any one here as installaed diablo on ubuntu before?
[08:03] <Shujah> chriswr, you can use top or ps but not exactly a task manager like win
[08:03] <s3a> binskipy2u: then do the purge command i gave b4 then do sudo apt-get install openoffice.org again see if that works
[08:03] <binskipy2u> i did that.. didnt do the purge though..
[08:03] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: actually, check System Monitor and see what percent your processor is running at
[08:03] <binskipy2u> thanks
[08:03] <binskipy2u> :)
[08:03] <anto9us> chriswr, gnome-system-monitor
[08:04] <chriswr> shujah: ill just restart reel quick
[08:04] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: ya dude ..actually this is the main reason i was afraid to install ubuntu on my vaio tz .. i think that laptop is quite delicate and wouldnt survive ubuntu running flat out on it ..
[08:04] <chriswr> anto9us:ok ill do that after i restart
[08:04] <gaelfx> shujah: use System->Administration->System Monitor
[08:04] <crob> how to change the logon window? anybody help me?
[08:04] <robf_> Kraplax: http://www.gnome-look.org  do a search for "buttons"  you'll see what I assume you're talking about
[08:04] <kcma1> s3a i selected the ati now do i want auto or manual
[08:04] <robf_> If I'm incorrect please do say.
[08:04] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: well, glad that that helped
[08:04] <xXEx3cuti0n3rXx> I had a question.
[08:04] <s3a> binskipy2u: if ur in a rush and need an office suit right away u can temporarily use abiword for typed stuff and gnumeric for excel stuff
[08:04] <binskipy2u> when i do that purge command it says 45.1kb of space will be freed
[08:05] <s3a> kcma1: automatic detection
[08:05] <ublongata> is registering protocol handlers supposed to work in firefox 3? i add one, but visiting a link (rtsp) doesn't launch the helper program
[08:05] <robf_> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: had or have?  ask if you have.
[08:05] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: it scared me at first, but once I figured out that it was one process that was making my computer all hot and heavy, I got it fixed
[08:05] <kcma1> s3a and just click apply and go huh?
[08:05] <s3a> kcma1: r u gona play games or sumtin cuz if ur not then thats not needed
[08:05] <chriswr> shujah: ok im back on
[08:05] <Shujah> thanks gaelfx i was still using ps -e :D
[08:05] <s3a> kcma1: and ya to ur question
[08:05] <xXEx3cuti0n3rXx> Does anyone know a editor for ubuntu that will let me edit my videos?
[08:05] <gaelfx> Shujah: no problem
[08:05] <binskipy2u> what the hell???
[08:05] <s3a> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: cinelerra
[08:05] <binskipy2u> it opens and closes in less then a second
[08:05] <binskipy2u> this is a brand new install
[08:05] <binskipy2u> just did it today
[08:06] <Shujah> chriswr, and whats the result?
[08:06] <binskipy2u> no one else in here is having issues????
[08:06] <robf_> is LiVES in apt?
[08:06] <robf_> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: you may wanna check to see if it is
[08:06] <l815> okay i just realized my sound issue is only with certain applications
[08:06] <Don64> i just upgraded to 8.04.  My display is not looking right.  I have a Soyo wide monitor when the gdm comes up, it shows the screen displayed, centered looking good until the trash can icon pops up.  It is 3.5 inches to the left of where it should be.
[08:06] <robf_> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: LiVES is nice
[08:06] <xXEx3cuti0n3rXx> Awesome thanks.
[08:06] <s3a> binskipy2u: i dont think so, if its new, reboot ur live cd check it for errors then use it in live cd mode to see if openoffice.org works and if it does then reinstall and since its a new install u wont have anything to lose
[08:06] <l815> is there any way to fix the other apps?
[08:06] <chriswr> shujah: h/o
[08:06] <robf_> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: it may not be in apt,  I'd dbl check
[08:06] <bazhang> !info lives
[08:06] <binskipy2u> i hate this crap
[08:06] <Slinky> don, unlock the trashcan from the panel, then move it
[08:06] <binskipy2u> damnit
[08:06] <ublongata> anyone successfully get firefox 3 to register a protocol handler and associated application properly
[08:06] <Don64> and all the apps are squished when they open.
[08:07] <robf_> Slinky: that wouldn't fix his issue would it? O.o
[08:07] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: yeah .. and the wierd part is when the screensaver went on it would go absolutely flat out .. i can hear the fan sitting like 10 feet away hehehe
[08:07] <gaelfx> Don64: what resolution is your computer using?
[08:07] <robf_> Slinky: sounds like he's got gdm overlayed on a desktop that is at a higher resolution than gdm is set to
[08:07] <chriswr> shujah: everything needs to be set so alsa?
[08:07] <Flannel> xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: Try kino or cinelerra
[08:07] <Don64> they icons on the top left are off by that much as well
[08:07] <Slinky> ah
[08:07] <robf_> Flannel: ever used LiVES?
[08:07] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: yeah, that one I can't figure out. Are you using GLMatrix screensaver?
[08:07] <Slinky> well then, I thought he just had the icons misplaced
[08:08] <Flannel> robf_: Nope
[08:08] <robf_> Flannel: check it out ;)
[08:08] <s3a> Flannel: xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: no go for cinelerra cuz kino isnt full featured like cinelerra
[08:08] <Slinky> Don64: try readjusting the resolution
[08:08] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: yep how did you know
[08:08] <Xavura> HOW do I find out my kernel version
[08:08] <Don64> 1280 x 768
[08:08] <ReAn[Laptop]> Hey, How do i install packages from the Intrepid repos through atp-get? im trying to get samba_3.0.30
[08:08] <Flannel> s3a: kino is much simpler though.  Depending on what he's doing, cinelerra might be overkill
[08:08] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: because when my screensaver starts, so does my fan ;)
[08:08] <s3a> Xavura: uname -r
[08:08] <new1> ﻿﻿Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?  if you have the answer PLZ IM me!
[08:08] <robf_> s3a: is LiVES in apt?
[08:08] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: LOL
[08:08] <Flannel> !prevu | ReAn[Laptop]
[08:08] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: I think that screensaver is a little too processor intense, maybe try another one?
[08:09] <Don64> gaelfx : 1280 x 768
[08:09] <Shujah> chriswr, yeah try moving it to alsa - or you can try a small tweak before, put eberything to pulseaudio & >  sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf  serach line ; use-pid-file = yes < change yes to no and save , reboot
[08:09] <s3a> Flannel: ya speaking of cinelerra, im having trouble getting it from akirad repository and i also had trouble compiling it
[08:09] <ReAn[Laptop]> thankyou
[08:09] <Flannel> s3a: Whats wrong with the Ubuntu version?
[08:09] <WildOscar> guys...
[08:09] <robf_> note to self,  be sure gl screesavers are not running when you connect via vnc...unless you wanna sit for a while
[08:09] <binskipy2u> this is pissing me off
[08:09] <binskipy2u> damnit
[08:09] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: ill just disable screensaer .. shut the lid
[08:09] <WildOscar> running Diablo the game with Ubuntu.. any body?
[08:09] <s3a> Flannel: i have ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 and cinelerra site says it works even better on 64 bit and im not just talkin bout speed
[08:09] <Xavura> ok so
[08:09] <binskipy2u> how can a fresh install be so damn screwed
[08:09] <Xavura> I just compiled something but
[08:09] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: that should work too
[08:10] <Xavura> I need to get rid of it totally and recompile it
[08:10] <binskipy2u> it friggin COMES with openoffice
[08:10] <Xavura> What do I do?
[08:10] <bazhang> WildOscar, using wine? check the appdb
[08:10] <kottlett> hi! has sombody experience with the DB2 express-c package from the partner repository? I'm missing the web-frontend to the server!
[08:10] <robf_> binskipy2u: whats your issue,  I scrolled back but I just see several pages where you say how much you hate this crap
[08:10] <s3a> binskipy2u: im sry but think of it in the positive way, ur comp will still be usable wile ur reinstalling
[08:10] <WildOscar> bazhang.. i checked!
[08:10] <WildOscar> but not sure on Hardy!
[08:10] <Shujah> binskipy2u, dude save it with the abuses, someone will help patience
[08:10] <bazhang> WildOscar, and what was the result
[08:10] <WildOscar> gold for gutsy
[08:11] <WildOscar> with a modified ddraw.dll
[08:11] <robf_> I wonder what name will be used when they reach X... there any animals begining with X?
[08:11] <bazhang> WildOscar, have you tried it yet? you may also ask in #winehq and the ubuntuforums has a big gaming section
[08:11] <WildOscar> bazhang was wondering anyone has done it on a hardy! i think it should work
[08:11] <N9NU>  can someone give me a reminder on how to recursively chmod all files (only files) within all the folders I have on my FTP drive
[08:11] <robf_> chmod -R
[08:11] <N9NU>  i would like to change all of them via 644 without changing the folders
[08:12] <robf_> chmod -R [permissions] [parent dir]
[08:12] <N9NU>  the folders are to be 755 or whatever
 i just dont want to manually go into each one and correct them all

[08:12] <WildOscar> £augh Øut £oud!!
[08:12] <N9NU> ok
[08:12] <robf_> N9NU: yeah not sure if you can say to apply to directories only though

[08:13] <ReAn[Laptop]> im trying to install pervu like the guide sais, but it sais it cannot find pervu
[08:13] <ReAn[Laptop]> :(
[08:13] <robf_> cos it'll -Recurse each directory passed to chmod via find
[08:13] <s3a> kcma1: well its like 50 mb for drivers?

[08:18] <rafal> .
[08:18] <s3a> kcma1: i just believe open source is better but if hardware drivers doesnt see a driver, envyng cant find one, and ur lspci output actually shows a old card, so ur stuck with open source
[08:18] <kcma1> s3a you know the funny part is i am IT for the US Army lol but that is wintendo
[08:19] <robf_> Xavura: try following the standard journalism ideology when you request help,  who, what when where and why... the 5ws...

[08:19] <Xavura> robf_: I am following these instructions - http://nikosapi.org/wiki/index.php/WIS_Go7007_Linux_driver - I followed the instructions for Ubuntu Hardy but then I got to a part AFTER saying it doesn't work and you need to do a bunch of other things before compiling to make it work, otherwise do something to the Linux kernel
[08:19] <Mr_Bad_News> robf i keep seeing it in gnome-look.org as icon packages

[08:20] <Xavura> I have absolutely no idea wtf it is talking about, I don't understand it, I just want the drivers to be installed and working
[08:20] <robf_> Mr_Bad_News: I assume its just some arbitrarily named theme suite of some sort
[08:20] <s3a> kcma1: wat r u trying to do? y were u in here all day trying to get a driver if u a have a old comp??
[08:20] <Xavura> robf_: the problem is it added/edited a LOT Of files and it comes with no uninstall script

[08:24] <Xavura> and anyone understand these type of errors
[08:24] <s3a> kcma1: no virtual stuff wouldnt fix ur problem, in fact nothing but begging developpers to improve the open source one will work sry

[08:25] <Xavura> I'm just so **** annoyed, I don't know what I'm doing
[08:25] <Xavura> I just want to get these stupid drivers installed properly and working
[08:25] <Mr_Bad_News> or i guess its awn thanks bazhang
[08:25] <cpk1> Xavura: did you follow the workaround for people using hardy?
[08:25] <bazhang> np
[08:25] <Xavura> cpk1: How can I? I already compiled it
[08:25] <robf_> Xavura: I don't think you've made any unchangeable changes
[08:25] <Xavura> cpk1: Now I can't make the edits it told me after...
[08:25] <robf_> Xavura: it's not permenant
[08:25] <robf_> when you compile you create new files (binaries)
[08:25] <robf_> the source remains
[08:25] <cpk1> Xavura: you compiled what?
[08:25] <kcma1> s3a hey man thanks for the striaght answer and all of your help, i will let you get to your real work as you said i should come here if i have real problems this is nothing comapred to my windows machine that needs my attention right now so again thank you and good night
[08:25] <chriswr> shujah: any more ideas of what to do?
[08:25] <Xavura> cpk1: http://nikosapi.org/wiki/index.php/WIS_Go7007_Linux_driver
[08:25] <robf_> make clean and start over
[08:26] <Xavura> make clean?
[08:26] <robf_> at worst,  delete the directory with the source if you made bad changes
[08:26] <robf_> and untar the source again
[08:26] <Shujah> chriswr, sudo apt-get install alsa-oss <- this will install alsa-oss
[08:26] <cpk1> Xavura: did you read the part about people using ubuntu hardy?
[08:26] <Xavura> err
[08:26] <Xavura> cpk1: err can I PM you this room is moving too fast
[08:26] <robf_> Xavura: I already pmd you heh due to that reason =s
[08:26] <cpk1> Xavura: you need to either get a newer kernel (not recomended) or follow the other suggestion
[08:26] <robf_> but I'm not reg'd so
[08:26] <robf_> that'd be why it didn't show up
[08:26] <Xavura> cpk1: I don't want to, I'm just going to break something
[08:26] <Xavura> I HAVE Followed it and I am stuck
[08:27] <bazhang> make a temp channel like #xavura
[08:27] <chriswr> shujah: now try?
[08:27] <chriswr> shujah: or change something else now?
[08:27] <Xavura> I made #xavura...
[08:27] <cpk1> Xavura: you HAVE to do one of those options
[08:27] <Xavura> cpk1: I don't know what to do
[08:27] <Xavura> I'm totally lost
[08:27] <Xavura> I'll be in #xavura
[08:27] <Shujah> chriswr, try like this opena  sound app run a mp3 or something open second app like > terminal alsa-oss rhythem box or any media player
[08:27] <Xavura> if anyone wants to try and help
[08:27] <cpk1> ok well he lost his help then
[08:28] <jbroome> that was awesome
[08:28] <bazhang> mythtv would have done fine.

[08:33] <Mr_Bad_News> and if i extract them to .icons how do i get them to work with gnome theme manager
[08:33] <ganes1> jbroome: samba-3.2.0    how to build and make it?
[08:34] <jbroome> ganes1: what is the extension on the file?
[08:34] <ganes1> jbroome:its a folder
[08:34] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, is the file a .tar.gz ? If so, just drag and drop it onto the Appearance window
[08:34] <tech0007> !compile | ganes1
[08:34] <chriswr> shujah: keep hda intel on device?
[08:35] <Shujah> yes
[08:35] <Mr_Bad_News> no DistroJockey its zip
[08:35] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, ohh :(
[08:35] <Shujah> now go to menu > pref > pulseaudio > tick simulataneous playing third tab
[08:35] <chriswr> shujah: nvm
[08:35] <Mr_Bad_News> and if i try to drag and drop a tar.gz it says file format invalid
[08:35] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News, got a link?
[08:36] <chriswr> shujah: awsome , you got it going!
[08:36] <ganes1> tech0007:i dont have net connection to desktop and command says install build essential
[08:36] <Mr_Bad_News> to the package bazhang ?
[08:36] <bazhang> yes
[08:36] <chriswr> shujah: thnx a lot , sry it took so long
[08:36] <Lapinux> is there an easy way to switch from python 2.5 to 2.4?
[08:37] <Don64> [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/5b3dzd.png[/IMG]
[08:37] <Lapinux> synaptic wants to remove all kinds of stuff on me
[08:37] <tech0007> ganes1: you need the dependencies of samba to compile it
[08:37] <poop> ok so i sudo apt-get install linux-k7 linux-headers-k7 then i reboot but when i type uname -a i still come up running the generic kernel how to i switch to my faster k7 kernel ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[08:37] <Shujah> chriswr, if the problem surtfaces again you might kill the pulseaudio and hopefully it'll work
[08:37] <Mr_Bad_News> i closed the window and i cant find it bazhang
[08:37] <ganes1>  tech0007:i just installed ubuntu and to lan with vista i need samba..
[08:38] <Don64> MatthewV: look at [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/5b3dzd.png[/IMG]
[08:38] <Mr_Bad_News> its red icon package from gnome-look.org
[08:38] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News, what is the theme name
[08:38] <Mr_Bad_News> red icons
[08:38] <poop> sorry for bad english i speak mainly japanese
[08:38] <chriswr> shujah: ok i just hope that doesnt happen
[08:38] <bazhang> poop, the generic will give fast response
[08:38] <bob3213243> is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu?
[08:39] <ganes1> tech0007:i downloaded samba frm somewhere. cant i install directly?
[08:39] <poop> bazhang I am not a generic type of guy here
[08:39] <tech0007> ganes1: download it from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:39] <bob3213243_> is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu?
[08:39] <bazhang> poop, you want the ubuntu-jp channel?
[08:39] <MatthewV> Don64, did this happen after playing a game or something like that? you should be able to fix it by right clicking on the panel icons that you want to move and choosing move (unlocking from panel if necessary) and just dragging the desktop icons to where they should be
[08:39] <ra21vi> hi, a sample condition is, my ant tasks envokes shell script which test whether the another ant script is executing propertly. shell script also installs and configures jdk and ant.. so is there anyway i can use multiple ant and jdk...
[08:39] <tech0007> ganes1: make sure you pick the ubuntu version you have
[08:39] <ra21vi> seems, my question is confusing..
[08:40] <poop> i just want to know what the boot files there are and the japanese channel is dead right now
[08:40] <Don64> no game. just rebooting after installing 8.04
[08:40] <poop> and what files to edit to call them at boot and all
[08:40] <Don64>  the poblem is the screen in the apps are squished too
[08:40] <Mr_Bad_News> http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=57433&file1=57433-1.jpg&file2=57433-2.jpg&file3=57433-3.jpg&name=H-K+suite+gtk2&PHPSESSID=2aa84948a711a9f554dc68c42ad5a83d
[08:41] <MatthewV> Don64, oh that's strange... I'd just move them back the way i described above, and hope it doesn't happen again... you could lock them all to the panel after you've moved them
[08:41] <Don64> like web broser, ect
[08:41] <poop> ok so i sudo apt-get install linux-k7 linux-headers-k7 then i reboot but when i type uname -a i still come up running the generic kernel how to i switch to my faster k7 kernel ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[08:41] <Mr_Bad_News> what is the name of that theme or how do i get it to look like that
[08:41] <bazhang> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Red+Icons+for+GNU%2BLinux?content=84396 Mr_Bad_News this?
[08:41] <MatthewV> Don64, do you know what your screen's native resolution is?
[08:41] <Mr_Bad_News> yea bazhang
[08:41] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News, let me try
[08:41] <Don64> moving them isn'e the "real" problem, just a symptom
[08:43] <Don64> it happened once or twice with the last version of ubuntu.  I would reboot or do the cntrl alt back space and it usually work great from then on
[08:43] <poop> I am trying to tweak it to performance for pure fun and i am lost as to what the boot files are and all
[08:43] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you are saying that the screenshot you gave does not fit the whole display area correct?
[08:43] <ganes1>  tech0007:there is samba common of just 2.7 mb..is it fine?
[08:43] <levander> I remember there was some talk about implementing restore points in Ubuntu.  Did that ever get done?
[08:43] <Resnick> Does anyone know of a decent video editor for Linux/Ubuntu? Diva-Project.org is not around any more sadly and that looked so promising.
[08:43] <MatthewV> Don64, are you running at your screen's native resolution then? you're currently at 1280x768...
[08:44] <Don64> yes it does!!!  part of the display within the area is not right
[08:44] <nyquistaries> hallo
[08:44] <tech0007> ganes1: are you on hardy
[08:44] <ganes1> yes
[08:44] <levander> Resnick: #ubuntu-studio?
[08:45] <Don64> it fits the panels themselves ok,  not the trash can speaker and on button
[08:45] <ganes1>  tech0007:yes
[08:45] <Resnick> levander: Sorry. I didn't realise there were more channels. Thank you!
[08:45] <nyquistaries> ubuntu
[08:45] <levander> Resnick: It was just a suggestion for you to find an answer.  I wasn't complaining about off-topic.
[08:45] <Don64> the icons isn't the real problem, just a symptom
[08:46] <chriswr> anyone know were a good tutorial of the program medusa would be located at
[08:46] <levander> Resnick: You find an answer, please PM me.  I'm interested in that too.
[08:46] <Resnick> levander: No worries. I didn't take it that way at all.
[08:46] <tech0007> ganes1: samba-common and the rest of the depends
[08:46] <Don64> when i open an app the app area is suished between the trash can icon and the left side of screen
[08:47] <DistroJockey> Don64, and did you try right-clicking each icon in turn (make sure it is not locked) then click Move and move the mouse to the right with out holding any buttons?
[08:47] <Don64> when i open an app the app area is suished between the trash can icon and the left side of screen
[08:47] <DistroJockey> Don64, ahh, I see what you mean
[08:47] <gaelfx> ok, I'm using Network Tools to try to configure my PPPoE connection, and when I click configure the auth dialog pops up, then it says the connection does not exist....can anyone help me?
[08:47] <MatthewV> Don64, dont worry, i get that, but i'm having trouble understanding exactly what the problem is... so even when maximised apps dont take up the whole screen?
[08:47] <Lusule> hello all - anyone able to recommend a music player that will allow me to use my ipod?
[08:47] <davidrawson91> armorok
[08:47] <davidrawson91> i'd think
[08:47] <davidrawson91> not for iphone or itouch without being jailbroken though
[08:48] <MatthewV> Lusule, banshee or maybe rhythmbox in ubuntu, amarok for kubuntu
[08:48] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy/
[08:48] <davidrawson91> ah
[08:48] <sepehr_> ??
[08:48] <gaelfx> ps, it's the same for my eth0 :S
[08:48] <Don64> yes they do but eh images are the field of veiw within the app is squished
[08:48] <Lusule> thanks both of you, i have ubuntu atm, not kubuntu, and just plain ipod, nothing fancy
[08:48] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy?
[08:48] <gaelfx> Lusule: you can use Amarok in Ubuntu as well, it works pretty well
[08:49] <DJones> !ipod | Lusule (I think this is the right factoid, this maybe of use to you as well),
[08:49] <chriswr> lol
[08:49] <DJones> !ipod | Lusule
[08:49] <Lusule> i'm gonna have to learn how to use those bot factoids...
[08:49] <Don64> when i use the resolution it does not detect the monitor now.
[08:49] <DistroJockey> Don64, I'd initially make a backup of your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and then try a   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:50] <leeyee> Hi guys, i wanna to print a file in gvim with line number, anybody knows how?
[08:50] <ganes1> tech0007:how to connect to vista using LAN cable?
[08:51] <davidrawson91> samba
[08:51] <davidrawson91> to ganes1
[08:51] <davidrawson91> i'd think
[08:51] <chriswr> is there any mesh making programs for linux?
[08:51] <Don64> [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2yo4ozq.png[/IMG]
[08:51] <davidrawson91> as in 3D?
[08:51] <chriswr> yes
[08:51] <davidrawson91> wings
[08:51] <leeyee> Hi guys, i wanna to print a file in gvim with line number, anybody knows how?
[08:51] <Don64> that is the s resolution screen shot if it helps
[08:51] <MatthewV> davidrawson91, try not to use the enter key as punctuation - keep it all on one line ;)
[08:51] <davidrawson91> blender
[08:51] <davidrawson91> oh
[08:51] <davidrawson91> okay, i know what you mean now
[08:51] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy?
[08:52] <sepehr_> nobody knows?
[08:52] <chriswr> 3dsmax?
[08:52] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, I get the same error as you with that icon theme dragging and dropping the .tar.gz .  Looks to be broken, try a different one.
[08:52] <Shujah> Don64, you have any graphic card?
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> i installed the h-k install deb suite
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i apply it
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/H-K+suite+gtk2?content=57433
[08:53] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> im already there
[08:53] <Don64> yes, 4X nvidia gforce 2
[08:54] <Shujah> Don64, go to menu > sys > admin > hardware drivers see if nvidia is selected
[08:54] <Lusule> next question:  i was under the impression i need a separate root login from my normal user login, but Ubuntu install just gave me the one login.  Do I need to seperate them and how do I do it?
[08:54] <MatthewV> !sudo | Lusule
[08:54] <davidrawson91> how do you play portal on ubuntu
[08:54] <davidrawson91> or half life
[08:55] <^^co-pgnn> ^^co-pgnn
[08:55] <Flannel> Lusule: You don't.  The root account is locked, you don't use it in Ubuntu.  (sudo is used instead, like the factoid says)
[08:55] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences > should be here if installed properly
[08:55] <Lusule> aha thanks people :)
[08:55] <Mr_Bad_News> its not
[08:55] <gaelfx> Flannel: can you still sudo su to bypass that?
[08:56] <Flannel> gaelfx: bypass what?
[08:56] <Flannel> gaelfx: If you want a root terminal, you can use `sudo -i`
[08:56] <alf> #ubuntu-hispano
[08:56] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences > customize > window border > check here
[08:56] <Don64> Shujah : yes it is selected.  only driver to chose
[08:56] <gaelfx> Flannel: I mean not being able to boot into root, but nevermind, it doesn't really matter
[08:56] <Mr_Bad_News> its not in preferences
[08:56] <Shujah> Don64, download nvidia-settings from synaptic
[08:57] <Flannel> gaelfx: Single user mode?
[08:57] <alf> hola el canal ubuntu español o hispano cual es po favor?
[08:57] <Flannel> !es | alf
[08:57] <gaelfx> Flannel: something like that, it was more a question of curiosity than an actual concern
[08:57] <ganes1> davidrawson91:i installed sabma ..how to check whether its proper or not? then next how to connect to vista?
[08:58] <Flannel> gaelfx: Single user mode (init 1) is the "recovery console" option at GRUB
[08:58] <extripator> hmm it seems that i can't get a stable connection while using ubuntu
[08:58] <gaelfx> Flannel: gotcha, good to know
[08:58] <extripator> i get that my wireless is 20-80%
[08:58] <MatthewV> gaelfx, i think you're supposed to use sudo -s if you really really really need a root console ;)
[08:58] <gaelfx> ok, I'm using Network Tools to try to configure my PPPoE connection, and when I click configure the auth dialog pops up, then it says the connection does not exist....can anyone help me?
[08:59] <ReAn[Laptop]> !audio
[08:59] <gaelfx> MatthewV: yeah, I'll do the old man thing some day and remember something useful about sudo one of these days
[08:59] <wangor> sorry, how can I create a launcher that will launch a program with root privileges ? I tried putting "sudo gedit" in command field, but the launcher doesn't do anything at all
[08:59] <rokra> Hi
[08:59] <rokra> is there a soft to configure the sound 5.1 ?
[08:59] <unop> wangor, gksudo gedit
[09:00] <wangor> unop: thx
[09:00] <MatthewV> rokra, system sound or for a certain piece of software?
[09:01] <chriswr> anyone know if maya 8.5 is good with wine?
[09:01] <Monona> Hey all, I'm having some very basic PHP trouble: When I save a file as *.php, then try to open it in Firefox, FF gives me a download prompt. As far as I can tell, I have all the proper libraries and dependencies installed.
[09:01] <bazhang> chriswr, check the appdb
[09:01] <chriswr> ok
[09:02] <MatthewV> chriswr, try taking a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/
[09:02] <wwapintar886> What does z mean? http://vivisection.dontexist.com/main/sexytime/Untitled.jpg
[09:03] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[09:03] <Don64> Shujah: ok downloaded now what?
[09:03] <ubuntu0987> is it just my usual bad luck or does the new live cd only mount things as read only[usb drives that is]
[09:04] <Flannel> alf: /join #ubuntu-es
[09:04] <chriswr> matthewv: just did , its garbage
[09:04] <davidrawson91> i hate the little ntfs issue where it gets locked and refuses to mount under normal circumstances
[09:04] <MatthewV> chriswr, the answer is probably not then ;)
[09:04] <davidrawson91> and you have to force it
[09:04] <chriswr> lol
[09:05] <ubuntu0987> im trying to purge a corrupted install of rockbox off of my e270 and im getting errors in windows cause of file names with "." in the front, and the live cd/wubi install i have say its read only
[09:05] <Don64> Shujah: Idownloaded nvidia-settings from synaptic now what should i do?
[09:05] <ubuntu0987> and i cant go back to the fischer price origional firmware, nor can i return the player
[09:06] <ubuntu0987> i keep getting read only errors
[09:06] <Shujah_> Don64, alt+f2 type nvidia-settings enter
[09:06] <chriswr> what is blackbox?
[09:06] <Lusule> so the amarok in the package manager should work even though it says its for kde?
[09:06] <davidrawson91> no, type "eat-my-shorts"
[09:06] <gaelfx> can someone help me fix my slow internet connection? it's running at 1/10th what it should
[09:07] <gaelfx> Lusule: yes, it will install everything it needs to work
[09:07] <bazhang> davidrawson91, not here
[09:07] <Lusule> thanks :)
[09:07] <gaelfx> Lusule: no problem, I'm using Ubuntu with Amarok also, so don't worry, it should be ok
[09:08] <ubuntu0987> rm: cannot remove `/media/Sansa e270/.rockbox/langs/italiano.lng': Read-only file system
[09:08] <ubuntu0987> wtf?
[09:08] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, how are you determining that it's running at 1/10th?
[09:08] <Don64> Shujah_ : Ok it is running
[09:08] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: wtf is a phrase we can do without seeing please, we all know what it means, so it's inappropriate
[09:08] <Shujah_> Don64, open nvidia-settings go to display - detect and select display then apply and save it to xserver (dont merge, save)
[09:09] <evilbug> how can i safely install xfce (hardy)?
[09:09] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: my bad. its somewhat late and i have a lot on my mind lately, so my thought process si somewhat clouded.
[09:09] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: compared to what it normally runs at in Windows
[09:09] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: I suggest taking a break until you are more awake then
[09:09] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: also, once in a blue moon, it works properly in Hardy, but I can't figure out how to reproduce that state
[09:10] <ikonia> gaelfx: I'm glad the reboot resolved you issue. A most odd problem
[09:10] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i only meant to try and express how vexing this is for me, that i cannot delete the directory or ovverride it
[09:10] <gaelfx> ikonia: yeah, sorry to bug you about it, but it had me a little worried. Thanks for remembering!
[09:10] <Don64> Shujah_ OK now what should i do
[09:10] <wangor> sorry, can you name any piece of software on ubuntu, that can download whole web page (html's, images, flashes etc) along with the linked pages that site provides ?
[09:10] <ikonia> gaelfx: not at all, good to know it worked out
[09:10] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i am very much awake, caffeine and chronic insomnia do that to you[along with stress]
[09:11] <havoc_> hello?
[09:11] <bazhang> hi havoc_
[09:11] <havoc_> Can anyone help me with getting a driver for my wireless card?
[09:11] <JuzzyD> Good afternoon folks,  Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction for the conversion of divx encoded files to xvid encoded.
[09:11] <Shujah_> Don64, have you detected and applied a resolution - save it to xserver , dont merge. then reboot and check
[09:11] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: if your very much awake, don't use being tired an excuse for your bad language, just don't use it
[09:11] <Don64> b right back
[09:11] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, are you timing downloads you have done on both OS's or using a tool to measure it or something else?
[09:11] <zeeeee> can i prevent rhythmbox from popping up every time i insert an audio cd?
[09:11] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: im saying that though im awake enough to think, i cant think well due to split attention on multiple other matters
[09:12] <rajiv_nair> #smc-project
[09:12] <rajiv_nair> exit
[09:12] <Shujah_> zeeeee, go to nautlis> edit > pref > media and change it
[09:12] <MatthewV> wangor, wget might be able to do that... other than that, i don't know
[09:12] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: then come back when you can concentrate enough to follow the ubuntu code of conduct
[09:12] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i dont want ot start a fight about it though. my personal issues need to stay that way.
[09:12] <wangor> MatthewV: ok, thanks
[09:12] <zeeeee> Shujah_, thanks!
[09:12] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: well, uTorrent uploads at 1/10th what it should, so that's where the number comes from. Pidgin and Skype are constantly disconnecting and webpages load a lot slower
[09:13] <ubuntu0987> w/e
[09:13] <bazhang> gaelfx, this is torrents then?
[09:13] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: also, Network Tools won't let me configure my pppo or eth0 connections, it says the interface does not exist
[09:13] <gaelfx> bazhang: not just torrents, everything is slower
[09:13] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, ahh. 8.04 or 8.04.1 or something earlier?
[09:13] <gaelfx> bazhang: I just don't have numbers for the other stuff
[09:13] <JuzzyD> I  believe the solution involves mencoder, but im not exactly sure how to use it?
[09:13] <bazhang> gaelfx, you should have mentioned that a long time ago
[09:14] <Bollinger> Im trying to setup SSL security using CACert. I think I've installed their server certificate but I'm not sure, as firefox3 comes up with an error when looking at https://secure.cacert.org. Could a kind soul look at that site using firefox 3 and tell what they see
[09:14] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: 8.04
[09:14] <gaelfx> bazhang: which thing are you referring to?
[09:14] <gnomefreak> compiz enabled?
[09:14] <davidrawson91> i like pokemon
[09:15] <Flannel> davidrawson91: We'd love to hear about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:15] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i make avant on top?
[09:15] <ikonia> Bollinger: it's n untrusted cert
[09:15] <gnomefreak> davidrawson91: they love pokemon topics   in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:15] <ikonia> Bollinger: just checked the site
[09:15] <bazhang> gaelfx, the 1/10th bit
[09:15] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: There's an option in the AWN config
[09:15] <Mr_Bad_News> im there Flannel where is it?
[09:15] <gaelfx> bazhang: sorry, I've never been good at asking for help :P
[09:15] <Illarane> Hiya, I'm having much fun trying to get 1680x1050 working on my 8.whateveritis box.  The graphics chipset is an SiS 65x series abortion and the screen is a Dell 2007WFP.  Changes I put in xorg.conf don't generally effect, other than to break it. ;)  It's incorrectly detecting the screen, and is saying that its maximum resolution is 1280x1024 with 1680x1050 preferred. :)  Anyone got any ideas?
[09:15] <Bollinger> ikonia: but the https site rendered something (not an error message)   If so I must have broken my firefox install... Many thanks
[09:16] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: Its a checkbox.  I don't know.  I've seen it though.
[09:16] <abju> heloo
[09:16] <ikonia> Bollinger: I just get an untrusted certificate warning, would I like to add an exception
[09:16] <ganesh> how to check whether samba which i installed is proper?
[09:16] <Mr_Bad_News> im not seeing it anywhere
[09:16] <JuzzyD> So no one at all has any idea how to convert divx to xvid?
[09:16] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: everything except your network config can be caused by compiz being enabled
[09:16] <ikonia> JuzzyD: mencoder
[09:16] <MatthewV> !resolution | Illarane
[09:16] <ikonia> JuzzyD: isn't xvid actually the divx codec ?
[09:16] <wols> ikonia: not quite
[09:16] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: really? how do you know that?
[09:16] <bora> hi everybody
[09:17] <wols> it's another implementation of mpeg4 like divx is as well
[09:17] <MatthewV> ikonia, both are different mpeg4 codecs iirc
[09:17] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: because i used to use nad work on it
[09:17] <bora> I install Ubuntu
[09:17] <ikonia> wols: MatthewV  thank you
[09:17] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, If you don't have it, you need this also:   awn-manager
[09:17] <havoc_> >	
[09:17] <havoc_> Can anyone help me with getting a driver for my wireless card?
[09:17] <JuzzyD> Yep, slightly different, and this piece of crap mp4 player likes xvid only by the looks of things
[09:17] <Mr_Bad_News> im in the awm-manager DistroJockey
[09:17] <bora> and I have a some question about vmware server setup
[09:17] <wols> havoc_: what wireless chip do you have?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: try disabling it to see if anything clears up
[09:17] <havoc_> hm
[09:17] <havoc_> I dunno
[09:17] <Illarane> MatthewV: Already read it, doesn't help.
[09:17] <ikonia> JuzzyD: mencoder should still be able to do it then, as long as you have both codecs installed
[09:17] <bazhang> havoc_, what chipset (lspci in terminal, just the one line)
[09:17] <wols> havoc_: lspci
[09:17] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, ahh, k. It's in there somewhere :)
[09:17] <havoc_> is there a command I can run in terminal?
[09:17] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: ok, I'll give it a go. how do I disable it? just by turning extra effects off?
[09:17] <bora> I download tar-gz
[09:17] <joshual> hey folks how can I reset the compizfusion settings? I did something using CompizConfig Manager that gives me a completely blank screen except for wallpaper

[09:18] <joshual> im in a different account right now
[09:18] <ganesh> : how to check whether samba which i installed is proper?
[09:18] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: yeah in the system > preferrences > appearance > desktop effects change it to none
[09:18] <wols> ganesh: proper in what way?
[09:18] <Illarane> MatthewV: The problem is because X is polling the screen and getting the wrong information back. :/
[09:18] <bazhang> havoc_, just the one line
[09:18] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[09:18] <Illarane> I thought Ubuntu didn't use EDIDs any more?

[09:19] <wols> Illarane: you might need to edit your xorg.conf
[09:19] <ganesh> wols:i need to connect vista from my newly installed ubuntu 8.04..
[09:19] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: ought I to restart my connection?
[09:19] <wols> if you edit it it overrides
[09:19] <Illarane> I have been, but it's not having any affect.
[09:20] <Illarane> I've even put in modelines, and ti's still ignoring it. :(
[09:20] <wols> havoc_: ethernet is not wlan. also check lsusb and pastebin the output

[09:20] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, you wanted it always ontop?
[09:20] <wols> Illarane: use DisplaySize instead
[09:20] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: ok, I'll be back
[09:20] <Mr_Bad_News> no i want its position on top
[09:20] <Illarane> Oh?  That's a new one on me.
[09:20]  * Illarane googles.
[09:20] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: as i recall it  changes it at the time you change it
[09:20] <wols> Illarane: and set the res too
[09:20] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: me too i have to change DEs
[09:20] <ganesh> wols:hence i installed samba..but don have net connection ..installed from downloaded packeg
[09:20] <wols> Illarane: the res is more important
[09:20] <gaelfx> gnoemfreak: kk, thanks
[09:21] <Vegombrei> ganesh: abe ganesh kaisa hai tu
[09:21] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, ohh, sorry. I've not had much luck doing that in the past. Will try for a bit.
[09:21] <wols> ganesh: samba is the server, not the client
[09:21] <havoc_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27437/
[09:21] <beefcircuit> can anyone direct me to a tutorial on installing ubuntu without a bootable cd drive?
[09:21] <havoc_> I post the URL right
[09:21] <xorand> I tried to install gforge via synaptic package manager.  It failed and I have broken dependancies now.  How do I remove a broken package: gforge-db-postgresql ?
[09:21] <DJones> !install | beefcircuit
[09:22] <Shujah_> Don64, I'm sorry if it was driver related nvidia-settings should have corrected that
[09:22] <wols> havoc_: sorry I was mistaken, you pasted the right marvell line. you need to use ndiswrapper iirc
[09:22] <wols> !info smbfs
[09:22] <havoc_> I tried it with
[09:22] <havoc_> 7.10
[09:22] <wols> ganesh: that's what you need
[09:22] <havoc_> the driver could scan
[09:22] <havoc_> but it couldn't connect
[09:22] <Don64> Shujah_: any other ideas?
[09:22] <mankoz> hi
[09:23] <chriswr> how come firefox shuts down automaticly after being on youtube for a while?
[09:23] <wols> havoc_: unless we get more info we can't help you. like error mesages or logs
[09:23] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[09:23] <ganesh> wols: then how can i connect these two?i have connected through Lan cable and in vista if i click on show status it shows received 0 sent 390
[09:23] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, sorry, doesn't look to be possible
[09:23] <havoc_> ok, thanks, I'll try ndiswrapper now
[09:23] <Mr_Bad_News> k

[09:23] <_jdd_> chriswr: probably a problem with the flash plugin. i get the impression that it's notoriously buggy.

[09:25] <wols> !errors | andrewcool
[09:26] <xorand> I tried to install gforge via synaptic package manager.  It failed and I have broken dependancies now.  How do I remove a broken package: gforge-db-postgresql ?

[09:26] <mankoz> hi
[09:26] <mankoz> I have a problem with samba
[09:26] <mankoz> I have created a new user with smbpasswd and I have started the demon
[09:26] <Shujah_> Don64, and maximum resolution you get 1440x900?
[09:26] <mankoz>  but it is still not possible to access my shared folders
[09:26] <Vegombrei> on that issue .. can someone help me configure samba so my pc would show up on a wifi network for file sharing ?
[09:26] <mankoz> do you know why?
[09:26] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: that seems to have done the trick, great job man
[09:26] <Kartagis> mankoz: #samba might know
[09:26] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: np
[09:27] <Don64> Shujah_: no 1280 x 768
[09:27]  * Illarane detaches.
[09:27] <mankoz> there is no one in #samba
[09:27] <mankoz> :(
[09:27] <mankoz> (now)
[09:27] <andrewcool> did it work?
[09:28] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: if you're fighting windows, you can chalk one up for yourself ;)
[09:28] <Illarane> Blargh, now the font on GDM is infinitesimal.
[09:28] <Kartagis> mankoz: pastebin your share
[09:28] <andrewcool> !pastebin
[09:28] <_jdd_> andrewcool: we need the url to whatever you just pastebinned (assuming that's what you did)
[09:28] <andrewcool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27438/
[09:28] <Lusule> question:  if i want to take some room from my windows data partition so i can create an ubuntu data area, what program do i use to do this?
[09:28] <DistroJockey> Don64, it's probably something like EDID in your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  . That's one of the reasons why I initially suggested backing up that file and running   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:28] <_jdd_> andrewcool:  second post in this thread may help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143945

[09:30] <MohammadBoozary> hi all
[09:30] <joshual_> does anyone use the Scale feature of compizfusion? I can't figure out how to get it to initiate
[09:31] <bazhang> joshual_, set a hot corner under keybindings in ccsm
[09:31] <adante> hi, when i used to start tomboy notes an icon would appear in hte tray, now it doesn't, how can i get it back?
[09:31] <MohammadBoozary> I use Ubuntu 8.04, how do i can connecting remotely to ssh ?
[09:31] <xorand> MohammadBoozary, use putty
[09:31] <Don64> i'm trying to reset the res thru server setting insted of the panel  be right back
[09:31] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ didn't work
[09:31] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary have you got oppenssh installed from synaptic?
[09:31] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: I would, but I have never used samba
[09:32] <joshual_> bazhang: I thought I did, but doesn't seem to work
[09:32] <Illarane> DistroJockey: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg just blanks the config for me. :)
[09:32] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: but I bet there are people here who have
[09:32] <DistroJockey> joshual_, by default it is   shift+alt+up arrow
[09:32] <_jdd_> andrewcool: could you pastebin the output of the commands? i.e. what you typed in the terminal, and it's response?
[09:32] <DistroJockey> Illarane, totally blank?
[09:32] <joshual_> DistroJockey: right, but nothing seems to happen
[09:33] <balle_> what is the code for mounting an external HDD?
[09:33] <mankoz> sorry I was on cell
[09:33] <DistroJockey> joshual_, other affects are working?
[09:33] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: but hey, since my problem just got solved, I'll give it a look right now
[09:33] <Illarane> DistroJockey: Oh, no.  Got all the required sections, but they've only got labels on them. :)  And it changed my keyboard to Wrong. >: (
[09:33] <mankoz> udo smbpasswd -L -e (username you want to add)
[09:33] <dasy2k1> @balle_ sudo mount /dev/sdxx /mountpoint
[09:33] <MatthewV> balle_, if you need to mount manually,usually sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdx /path/to/mount/point
[09:33] <_jdd_> andrewcool: by the way, if you highlight the text in the terminal, you should be able to paste it into pastebin with the middle mouse button
[09:33] <mankoz> is a necessary step?
[09:33] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, yes, i install ssh openssh-server openssh-client openssh-blacklist
[09:33] <Lusule> anyone able to help me with taking some free space for a new partition?
[09:33] <DistroJockey> Illarane, yep, that's fairly normal :)
[09:33] <havoc_> wols: Hi I tried ndiswrapper
[09:33] <silvaferna> hello
[09:34] <Illarane> Totally useless in my case. ;)
[09:34] <andrewcool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27441/
[09:34] <balle_> MatthewV: i can mount stuff other ways than manually?
[09:34] <DistroJockey> Illarane, yeah, I guess so
[09:34] <havoc_> wols: but I don't think it connected
[09:34] <MatthewV> balle_, well.. external hard drives and the like are usually mounted automatically when you plug them in
[09:34] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary to ssh form your machine to somwhere else just type ssh user@host.domain
[09:34] <joshual_> DistroJockey: ahhh... no :( crap... somethings going on... I'm getting "Desktop effects could not be enabled" on all my accounts now gaelfx
[09:35] <joshual_> brb
[09:35] <DistroJockey> joshual_, *nods*
[09:35] <MohammadBoozary> xorand, i have it (putty) my domain is boozary.org how insert my domain in ssh softwares for using remotely ?
[09:35] <balle_> MatthewV: well: only ntfs partitions are mounted automatically on my system...
[09:35] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, my domain is boozary.org
[09:36] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ did you get the link?
[09:36] <_jdd_> andrewcool: what's the output of fdisk -l?
[09:36] <Illarane> wols: The problem is at line 357: (II) SIS(0): (Re)-detecting LCD/plasma panel, sensing via DDC
[09:36] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, insert this boozary@boozary.org ?
[09:36] <MatthewV> balle_, hmm ok... i have an external hdd which is automatically mounted to /media/disk whenever i plug it in, and it's fat32
[09:36] <Illarane> I thought DDC had been removed? :(
[09:36] <wols> Illarane: I know
[09:36] <Formiano83> ciao a tutti
[09:36] <wols> as you said the EDID
[09:36] <Formiano83> !list
[09:36] <balle_> MatthewV: mine as well, oh well manually is not that big of a deal
[09:36] <gaelfx> joshual: ack! sorry!
[09:36] <Illarane> When I ddcprobe I get edidfail.
[09:37] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary  right, the thing you will want is somthing like username@machinename.boozary.org
[09:37] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: any luck ?
[09:37] <Illarane> edidfail indeed. :(
[09:37] <JuzzyD> Fantastic thankyou. I've found the mencoder options
[09:37] <xorand> MohammadBoozary, i thought you wanted to connect via ssh.  For that, putty is a good tool.  Configure your computer (if it has a static IP) to accept incoming ssh connections
[09:37] <Kartagis> MohammadBoozary: to have an e-mail address like boozary@boozary.org, simply create a user boozary
[09:37] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, whay is machine name ?
[09:37] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ nothing, I am running from Ubuntu live
[09:37] <wols> Illarane: the likes like (II) SIS(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range)
[09:37] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: well, I've just googled it, and I might have found something, but let me give it a read first
[09:37] <wols> Illarane: it doesn't find any setting where it can work
[09:37] <Illarane> wols: Eh?  Syntax error... :p
[09:37] <dasy2k1> when you are logged on to the machine from infornt of it and open a terminal, what do you see?
[09:37] <_jdd_> andrewcool: you _probably_ just need to use sda1 instead of hda1
[09:38] <Rolcol> I reinstalled Ubuntu and I don't remember where I can change the alt+mousedrag to move windows to super+mousedrag.  Can someone help?
[09:38] <JuzzyD> I may have to whip up a python script once I get this right I think. It would be nicer to have a nice little interface instead of typing all those options all the time.
[09:38] <Illarane> The screen seems to load up in 1280x1024 fine (though squished) and I've manually changed it to 1280x768 when I log in (can't figure out how to make GDM accept that, though).
[09:38] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/118877-samba-hardy.html try this, but I suggest backing up smb.conf first
[09:38] <Illarane> But it can go up to 1680x1050, ad looks pants in 1280x768. :p
[09:38] <ronin12345> I'm thinking about running windows in virtual box. can I set it up so that one of my workspaces is always windows?
[09:38] <Illarane> I need my desktop space, dammit. :(
[09:39] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ still doesn't work
[09:39] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary when you are logged on to the machine from infornt of it and open a terminal, what do you see? it should be username@machinename: current_directory $

[09:41] <havocstorm> can anyone help?

[09:48] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, nope
[09:48] <Lusule> i've just realised that ubuntu installed itself on the wrong drive without me realising - is there anyway to move it or do i have to wipe and start again?

[09:49] <ikonia> Illarane: please don't take that stance, #ubuntu is just a busy support channel, and your offtopic comments, especially random ones talking about linux vista 4, confused it and detract from it

[09:50] <havocstorm> ok, thanks

[09:50] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, my hostname is  ubuntu  and  home.gateway  is the domain

[09:55] <balle_> _jdd_: it shows everything about my computer...
[09:55] <_jdd_> balle_: "dmesg | tail" will give you the last few messages. plug it in and then check / pastebin the output of that

[10:04] <Don64> using  1440x900 not a question
[10:04] <balle_> Hunter,-: well i have a built in WC and a build in bluetooth dongle and max 6 ports, nothing connects to them then...?
[10:04] <Don64> i have fat fingure sometimes
[10:04] <DistroJockey> Don64, ok, sec.
[10:04] <DistroJockey> :)
[10:04] <justdweezil> on my hard disk i have two partitions, one which has my ubuntu install and the other is empty. how do i combine them while maintaining my ubuntu install etc?
[10:05] <Flynsarmy> If i installed the latest 2.6.26 kernel, when i inevitably run into problems and stuff doesn't work would i still be able to use the one i currently have? 2.6.24-19 like the ubuntu updates have htem in the grub menu on boot
[10:06] <filthpig> Hi, does anyone know if there is a problem with the medibuntu repo today? I'm having trouble connecting and transfer speeds are very low
[10:06] <Flannel> lobaman: Your sources.list looks like its... too big at any rate.  Pastebin it, and we'll see if we can't trim it down to size.
[10:06] <lobaman> Flannel: ok wait up
[10:06] <asyam> hi
[10:07] <_jdd_> filthpig: i don't know but you could check in #medibuntu
[10:07] <Kartagis> apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils says there's no setup candidate for ndiswrapper-utils. what to do?
[10:08] <Flannel> Kartagis: its ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[10:08] <lobaman> Flannel: here is the source.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/27451/
[10:08] <justdweezil> on my hard disk i have two partitions, one which has my ubuntu install and the other is empty. how do i combine them while maintaining my ubuntu install etc?
[10:08] <DistroJockey> Don64, try this one after making a backup :  http://pastebin.com/mf6c83f1
[10:08] <lobaman> but i not the one you put it there. i just "SELECT BEST SERVER"
[10:09] <Kartagis> Flannel: so, apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ?
[10:09] <arvind_khadri> Kartagis, yeah with sudo
[10:09] <Don64> ok
[10:10] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, so you want the other partition to be ext3??
[10:10] <Flannel> lobaman: You got this from somewhere.  It looks pre-fab.  Anyway... uh, instead of commenting out everything, lets just back this up (copy your sources.list into your home folder for the time being, then we'll just start from scratch and see how it goes.
[10:10] <lobaman> anyway this is fresh install of 8.04. i came from 7.10.
[10:10] <Flannel> lobaman: If we get it working, you can slowly add in the stuff you need. If you find yourself needing it.
[10:10] <lobaman> oh ok
[10:10] <lobaman> ok done backup.
[10:11] <Flynsarmy> Is there a command that will give info on which webcam iit has detected? make an dmodel?
[10:11] <joshman09> help with partition issue
[10:11] <Hardy_Feisty> whats the best desklet/widget tool?   I cant decide between screenlets and google gadgets or gdesklets
[10:11] <arvind_khadri> Flynsarmy, lspci
[10:11] <justdweezil> arvind: yeah. i want to take the other unused partition and join it to my current one
[10:11] <joshman09> i was planning to partition two so i can put windows and ubuntu
[10:11] <DistroJockey> !best | Hardy_Feisty
[10:11] <joshman09> but i love ubuntu
[10:12] <joshman09> that i don't need the other allocated drive for windows
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: me too
[10:12] <Hardy_Feisty> ok i ask best bot
[10:12] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, install gparted and convert the partition to ext3 and merge it
[10:12] <joshman09> how can i that space for more space to ubuntu
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: gpartes
[10:12] <codyzapp> Is there such thing as a flash card program that lets you enter symbols ? i have granual and it always claims <> and # are illegal characters. i need a quick alternative.
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: gparted
[10:12] <justdweezil> arvind: oh okay so i have to convert it to ext3 before i can merge.
[10:12] <joshman09> so i have unallocated 11.51gb
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah...
[10:13] <lobaman> Flannel: waiting for instructions now.
[10:13] <joshman09> and /dev/sda5 of 41.18
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27452/
[10:13] <joshman09> i want to merge the unallocated 11.51 to 41.18
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: That's your sources.list
[10:13] <lobaman> ok. that 3 line?
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: Yep
[10:13] <justdweezil> arvind: sorry, i'm new to linux. it's ext3 now. how do i merge?
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> joshman09, try to keep your queries to a single line :)
[10:14] <Flynsarmy> arvind_khadri, It's not in there. Camorama is able to display it but doesn't show me any info about it
[10:14] <nextplace> justdweezil: i've send you query-msg
[10:14] <Flannel> Flynsarmy: lsusb (assuming its a USB) should give a model ID, which you can then google (should be XXXX:YYYY)
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, thats ok...there should be a merge option in the GUI
[10:14] <nextplace> joshman09: I've sent you a query-msg
[10:14] <Flynsarmy> Flannel, Thanks
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> Flynsarmy, yeah its lsusb ... sorry realized later
[10:15] <ReAn[Laptop]> Simple Question: i wanna make a launcher to a folder, "/shares" when i make a launcher and select "Location" it seems to want a file
[10:15] <lobaman> Flannel: ok i already add the 3 line. whats next?
[10:15] <ReAn[Laptop]> how do i make a shortcut that launches a folder in the file browser?
[10:15] <Flannel> lobaman: Save it, sudo apt-get update
[10:15] <justdweezil> arvind: i don't see any sort of merge option. not even a greyed-out one
[10:15] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: that didnt work .. the ubuntu pc doesnt show up on my workgroup network for file sharing
[10:15] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: call the file browser (nautilus)  (probably with the path as an argument)
[10:15] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, jus hang on
[10:15] <justdweezil> arvind: alright, take your time. i appreciate the help.
[10:16] <DistroJockey> ReAn[Laptop], use   nautilus /shares   as the command
[10:16] <zsolty> hello, I requaire some help for making my wireless ? Please help! l
[10:16] <molgrum> Vegombrei: maybe this will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad17kma8rNM
[10:16] <lobaman> Flannel: i have this error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27453/
[10:17] <Flannel> lobaman: Is your sources.list just those three lines/
[10:17] <shashi> what is the command to find-out what Ubuntu Desktop/Server version is installed ?
[10:17] <lobaman> yes
[10:17] <anolis>  im having trouble getting my broadcom 4306 card to use the legacy drivers, the MAC core version is at 3, injection is not working
[10:17] <Flannel> shashi: lsb_release -a
[10:17] <dasy2k1>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[10:17] <lobaman> Flannel: yes.
[10:17] <Flannel> lobaman: backup (copy to your homedir) everything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then delete them all
[10:18] <shashi> Flannel : Thank you.
[10:18] <lobaman> Flannel: delete sources.list.d including dir?
[10:18] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah figured out do you have any data on the other drive the unused one??
[10:18] <Flannel> lobaman: No, just the contents.
[10:18] <justdweezil> no
[10:19] <justdweezil> arvind: no, i shouldn't.
[10:19] <lobaman> flannel:  ok done
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, then delete it
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> !tab | justdweezil
[10:19] <Flannel> lobaman: Alright, now pastebin sudo apt-get update again
[10:20] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, and are the two partitions adjacent ?
[10:20] <justdweezil> arvind: yes, they are. i have deleted the empty one.
[10:20] <lobaman> Flannel: here it is. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27454/
[10:21] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, now use the resize option for the higher one that is the partition which has ubuntu...but i recommend you doing this through a gparted live cd
[10:22] <DistroJockey> Don64, if that replacement  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  fails,  restore from the backup
[10:22] <justdweezil> arvind: yes. i think that i must do it from a liveCD, since right now the option to resize is greyed out.
[10:22] <Don64> ok just now figured out how to copy the file to the diretory
[10:22] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, you need to select the drive you want to resize first \
[10:23] <justdweezil> arvind: yes, i am right-clicking the partition with my current ubuntu install on it and it option to resize is greyed out. should i try again from a livecd?
[10:23] <DistroJockey> arvind_khadri, justdweezil : if it's currently mounted you won't be able to resize/change it
[10:23] <Flannel> lobaman: Alrigh, can you (in a browser) view this page fine? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[10:23] <lobaman> ok
[10:24] <justdweezil> distrojockey: yes, that is what i suspected. thank you.
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah you cant resize a mounted drive so use a live cd
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> ok conky keeps making a vertical and horizontal display
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> and they minimize when i hit the show desktop button
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i change that?
[10:24] <justdweezil> arvind: thank you very much for your help. it is much appreciated
[10:24] <DistroJockey> justdweezil, no problem
[10:24] <lobaman> Flannel: i can see the directories.
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> DistroJockey, was about to say that :P
[10:24] <DistroJockey> arvind_khadri, :)
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, welcome :)
[10:24] <Flannel> lobaman: Hmm, alright.  Try changing all the http://'s in that to ftp://'s  (deb ftp://[url] etc etc etc)
[10:24] <bboschman> Hi
[10:24] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, did you read the man page on it?
[10:25] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[10:25] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, hi
[10:25] <Mr_Bad_News> and how do i stick screenlets to the desktop so it doesnt minimize when i hit show desktop
[10:25] <lobaman> Flannel: ok. i change it to ftp. i can see the directory. just a change of layout
[10:25] <bboschman> I want to build a CustomKernel using make-kpkg but I get several errors: http://paste.debian.net/11234/
[10:26] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, tried running it with the   --daemonize   option?
[10:26] <Flannel> lobaman: right.  Sorry, I meant in your sources.list (and then try updating again)
[10:26] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, that would be #kernel not here :)
[10:26] <lobaman> oh ok
[10:26] <lobaman> wait up
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> well there are two DistroJockey
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> one horizontal and vertical
[10:26] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, no - normal kernel build would work - therefor its ubuntu specific
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> i want to get rid of the horizontal one and move the vertical one to the 0 0 position
[10:27] <lobaman> Flannel: run the apt-get again?
[10:27] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, oh ok...just hang on then :)
[10:27] <Flannel> lobaman: yep
[10:27] <izmeh> Anyone mind recommending a better pdf viewer than the default?
[10:27] <wols> !better
[10:27] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, or the  own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager   (maybe just sticky is needed)  No idea really
[10:28] <Mr_Bad_News> tried them all DistroJockey
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, did you read the readme coming with the source on how to install
[10:28] <Mr_Bad_News> other than undecorated
[10:28] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, yes - I already did this for dapper (also for etch)
[10:28] <lobaman> Flannel: ok wait up. i think im downloading something from it
[10:29] <bboschman> but it seems that some scripts are broken
[10:29] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, ok is this is a vanilla kernel??
[10:29] <Don64> DistroJockey: it came up at 1024 x 768 but the icons and screen are correct
[10:29] <bboschman> no - aptitude install linux-source
[10:29] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, ok hang on
[10:30] <bboschman> cd /usr/src; tar xfvj linux-source-*.tar.bz2; cd linux-source-*; cp /boot/config-`uname -r`; make oldconfig
[10:30] <bboschman> make menuconfig -> my modifications
[10:30] <DistroJockey> Don64, well, slightly better I guess :)
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> bboschman,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile i feel you should follow this
[10:31] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, I do
[10:31] <Don64> DistroJockey: I can live with this if need be
[10:31] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you now have 2 blank strips either side of your interface?
[10:31] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, so hung up where??
[10:31] <wols> bboschman: did you already compile a kernel in that directory?
[10:31] <SeekerX5> Hi.  I have 7.10 installed on my laptop.  Keyboard worked fine.  Then I plugged in a keyboard with USB connection to laptop.  The USB keyboard works fine too.  However, when I take the USB keyboard off, my laptop keyboard won't work properly - most keys are fine, but a few keys like the "U" instead types a "4", thus I'm not able to use it.  How can I fix this?
[10:32] <lobaman> Flannel: here is the output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27455/
[10:32] <Don64> DistroJockey: no, do you wqant a screen shot?
[10:32] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, did you see the Examples and Bugs at the end of the  man conky page ?
[10:32] <bboschman> wols, the error is generated when I try to clean that directory (make-kpkg clean)
[10:32] <DistroJockey> Don64, sure
[10:32] <wols> bboschman: that was not my question
[10:32] <dasy2k1> @SeekerX5 sounds like you have numlock on
[10:32] <Flannel> lobaman: Right.  Looks like that fixed it.  You should be able to install mysql-server now
[10:33] <bboschman> wols, I guess when I untar linux-source-*.tar.bz2 that it is clean
[10:33] <bboschman> beside ubuntu specific patches
[10:33] <lobaman> Flannel: yahoo. thanks alot man. i think mysqlserver is now downloading. :) thanks alot.
[10:33] <Mr_Bad_News> isnt the yx postion 0 0 the top left?
[10:33] <Flannel> lobaman: You'll probably want to (whenever you have a little bit of time) make sure you're up to date (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade), since who knows how long its been since you've gotten new packages
[10:33] <wols> bboschman: stop talking to me until you can finally answer my question
[10:33] <Mr_Bad_News> i set conky to that and its opening on the top right
[10:33] <dasy2k1> @SeekerX5 most laptops have a numberpad on jkluio789, to turn it off is probabbly fn and some key near the top
[10:33] <bboschman> wols, no
[10:34] <wols> then no make clean necessary
[10:34] <bboschman> I had not compiled before
[10:34] <Don64> DistroJockey: try [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/nxvuba.png[/IMG]
[10:35] <jigp> hello i upgraded my ubuntu 8 desktop and downloaded all the packages but still i cannot connect my wireless router... how to connect wireless router for aspire 4315 laptop? thanks
[10:35] <DistroJockey> Don64, btw, tis better to use the option for  Direct Link for Layouts  when posting here :)
[10:35] <wols> jigp: what wlan chipset?
[10:35] <Don64> DistroJockey: ok, didn't know
[10:35] <lobaman> Flannel: ok thanks alot man. ill do that. thanks
[10:35] <jasonago> hey, is there an easier way to install fonts on ubuntu? Kubuntu has a good font manager that lets you import almost any fonts..is there a utility that works for ubuntu? HEY, Font installation is very easy...why do we need to mess up with command line for this simple task...
[10:35] <bboschman> wols, that is still not a solution
[10:35] <DistroJockey> Don64, np at all
[10:35] <dasy2k1> @jigp can you see anything under restricted drivers?
[10:35] <Lloydie-t> Help. I have managed to create a init.d script which is hanging on boot up and I can not log on. What can I do?
[10:36] <wols> bboschman: it is. but yource choice. HAND
[10:36] <wols> Lloydie-t: write it without bugs
[10:36] <Flannel> Lloydie-t: At your GRUB menu, choose the recovery console.  then you can fix it/disable it/whatver
[10:36] <dasy2k1> Lloydie-t: try booting with a live cd and removing it!
[10:36] <DistroJockey> Don64, ok, seems you now have quite a low resolution
[10:36] <DistroJockey> Don64, what problem is it you see with it?
[10:36] <Don64> DistroJockey: the border on all of the screenshots is from the screen capture program.  It fills my screen on all four sides
[10:36] <ccooke> j #xen
[10:36] <ccooke> bah!
[10:37] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : where to see the restricted drivers? i dont see it from above near in the clock....
[10:37] <Lloydie-t> Is the GRUB menu avaiable on a server install
[10:37] <Don64> DistroJockey: i'll post the older screen again to let you see the diference
[10:37] <dasy2k1> Lloydie-t: try system --> administration
[10:37] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you have black/blank space all around the interface (i.e. the pic doesn't fill the screen) ?
[10:37] <SeekerX6> dasy2k1 - yes that was it!  Thanks man, I can't believe how much time I tried to fix it some other method :)
[10:38] <bboschman> wols, but `make-kpkg kernel-image`also is not working: http://paste.debian.net/11236/
[10:38] <arvind_khadri> !xen | ccooke
[10:38] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : i check also System,Administration,Network and Network tools same there is no tools for wireless ....
[10:38] <Lloydie-t> thanks I will go to site and try
[10:38] <Don64> DistroJockey:  MG]http://i35.tinypic.com/5b3dzd.jpg[/IMG]
[10:39] <ccooke> arvind_khadri: yes, I know - I just missed the / on my /join command :-)
[10:39] <Don64> DistroJockey: i coulnd get the address to copy corectly
[10:39] <arvind_khadri> ccooke, :)
[10:39] <dasy2k1> jigp: if the restricted drivers are not enabled then there wont be any wireles tools in network
[10:39] <wols> bboschman: do you run this on debian or on ubuntu? is what are your kernel-package, gcc and distro versions?
[10:39] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : its supports Atheros ?
[10:39] <DistroJockey> Don64, np. does, my question above sound like the issue?
[10:40] <jigp> dasy2k1 : kindly point me please, where that restricted drivers located ? thanks
[10:40] <dasy2k1> jigp:  it does! mines an atheros and it just found it,
[10:40] <Mr_Bad_News> is there anything for x an y positions on the desktop so i can know where to position something
[10:41] <Don64> DistroJockey: no!!  it fills the whole screen.  but when i open an app it acts like it is only in a smaller resolution in the screen
[10:41] <dasy2k1> jigp: it should be under system administration hardware drivers manager
[10:41] <jigp> dasy2k1 : where to enabled it pls
[10:41] <bboschman> wols, ubuntu hardy; kernel-package: 11.001; gcc: 4.2.3-2ubuntu7
[10:41] <jigp> dasy2k1 : checking
[10:41] <ReAn[Laptop]> HELP HELP, I just deleted my top-bar (panel) by accident.... omg... how do i get it back?
[10:41] <Don64> the icon is moved to the place where the apps start thinking the screen is viewable
[10:41] <Don64> the trash icon

[10:42] <Flannel> !resetpanel | ReAn[Laptop]
[10:42] <DistroJockey> Don64, wow, that is a very odd problem that I can honestly say have never seen before :(
[10:42] <Don64> lol
[10:42] <wols> bboschman: it looks like a kernel-package problem which is odd. the missing version thing is probably a Changelog Issue
[10:42] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: Or, right click near a panel "add panel" then right click on it, "add to panel"
[10:42] <jigp> dasy2k1 : im using a lan now. and yes  i found the two options and it was all checked (enabled)
[10:43] <ReAn[Laptop]> ubottu: <3
[10:43] <dasy2k1> jigp: have you got a network manager running?
[10:43] <DistroJockey> Don64, you upgraded right? And it worked before?
[10:43] <Don64> DistroJockey: i'll leave it at this lower res and see  Thanks for your help
[10:43] <Don64> yes

[10:44] <DistroJockey> Don64, if you get a chance or can, I always like a nice clean install :)
[10:44] <Illarane> wols: Don't suppose you have any miracle cures for my EDID problem?  I tried NoDDC, but that doesn't work either. :(
[10:44] <DistroJockey> Don64, way less ploblems
[10:44] <Don64> DistroJockey: this happened on and off with the older 7.10 but not every time
[10:44] <DistroJockey> problems even^
[10:44] <dasy2k1> jigp: on your top pannel is there the network manager
[10:44] <bboschman> wols, which means for me?
[10:44] <dasy2k1> jigp:  looks a bit like a lan lead if i remember correctly
[10:44] <wols> Illarane: don't set sync rates
[10:45] <Don64> DistroJockey: thanks again
[10:45] <wols> Illarane: if it's a TFT don't make it use any rate above 60Hz
[10:45] <DistroJockey> Don64, you're most welcome

[10:48] <negge^> ``Cube: you can make a bootable USB stick
[10:48] <ajzimmerman> Where should I look in order to find more information about compiling Windows source code into something I can install on linux?
[10:49] <jigp> days2k1 : System, Administration,Network:Wired connection and point to point connection
[10:50] <ajzimmerman> How do I go about converting an executable into binary and porting that into linux?
[10:50] <Mr_Bad_News> conky is too complicated
[10:50] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: if you're lucky it can be run with wine
[10:50] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: windows executable? I think you need wine to run that...
[10:51] <jasonago> Wine Is Not Emulator
[10:51] <ajzimmerman> I have wine, but would like a more stable compatabilitiy
[10:51] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: porting windows code to work on linux can be a non-trivial task
[10:51] <ajzimmerman> _jdd: I was not aware of that.
[10:51] <jigp> days2k1 negge^ : if you click the icon of the monitor there in clock:all i see is Wire Network, Connect to 802.1x protected wired network, and﻿ Manual Configuration
[10:51] <balle_> i need help getting ubuntu to reacongnise my external HDD, it cant detect anything in the USB ports, so how do i get that working?
[10:52] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: if you have the source code of the windows exec, then possibly some tweaking will allow you to compile it on ubuntu...
[10:52] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: basically, rewrite everything linux-specific in the source to work with the linux equivalent. assuming you have legal access to the source.
[10:52] <_jdd_> *windows-specific
[10:52] <dasy2k1> jigp: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/dasy2k1/other%20stuff/random%20screenshots/Screenshot-NetworkSettings.png
[10:52] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a way to get gedit to replace a string with another one
[10:52] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: I think you can build it against wine, or something
[10:52] <Juhaz> it depends a LOT on how the software in question is written in the first place, it can be easy if it has been written with cross-platform support on mind, but it can also be almost impossible
[10:52] <gordonjcp> Mr_Bad_News: yes
[10:52] <negge^> ajzimmerman: it also depends on what language the program is written in etc.
[10:52] <gordonjcp> Mr_Bad_News: it's called "search and replace"
[10:53] <ajzimmerman> Where shall I look to find programs that change the source into UNIX compatibility
[10:53] <negge^> if you're not a programmer it's virtually impossible
[10:53] <ajzimmerman> negge: I am not a programmer, but I wish to try.
[10:53] <_jdd_> indeed. what's the program for anyhow? there may be a linux equivalent already. I don't think it's the type of thing that can be automated easily
[10:53] <Juhaz> you don't. this is not a task that a program can do, unless you have a hard AI hidden somewhere
[10:53] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: _jdd_ is right...and that will be too much work assuming the program is very very microsoft oriented...
[10:53] <negge^> ajzimmerman: good luck
[10:54] <ajzimmerman> There are programs available that change the /'s and \'s or whatever. And fix the spaces in the code.
[10:54] <jigp> dasy2k1 : i dont see the Wireless connection... only these Wired Connection and Poin to point Connection
[10:54] <negge^> ajzimmerman: yeah but that's different
[10:54] <ajzimmerman> Why?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: because Windows uses very different functions to do nearly everything
[10:54] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: sure, but again it depends on what the program is meant to do, what language it is in, and how much windows-specific stuff is in the code. there's millions of little things that could need changed, depending.
[10:54] <camara> i have a problem with my computer its loading xservers
[10:55] <dasy2k1> jigp: not sure then with the drivers enabled they should be there
[10:55] <jigp> daysy2k1 : do i need to use root in desktop?
[10:55] <negge^> jigp: what kind of wifi chipset do you have?
[10:55] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: what's the app?
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> _jdd: Ok.
[10:55] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: what's the program anyway?
[10:55] <skomara-jibagger> vipi
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> There are several programs.
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> I would start with Miranda.
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> I have the source code.
[10:55] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: whoow...several programs is several...
[10:55] <negge^> :D
[10:56] <jasonago> miranda I think has deb package...
[10:56] <balle_> i need help getting ubuntu to reacongnise my external HDD, it cant detect anything in the USB ports, so how do i get that working?
[10:56] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: miranda - http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=4624
[10:56] <Illarane> wols: Er... how do I stop it using refresh rates over 60? :)
[10:56] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, what does this have to do with ubuntu support?
[10:56] <Illarane> ajzimmerman: Armin? :)
[10:56] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: but it's immature. Pidgin is an equivalent.
[10:56] <ajzimmerman> No it isn't
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> Are you kidding?
[10:57] <jigp> negge^ atheros
[10:57]  * Illarane likes Pidgin.
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> Miranda does not support offline messages with MSN.
[10:57] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: well it's closer. there are a lot of IM clients available
[10:57] <Illarane> Neither does Pidgin.
[10:57] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, please take chat about programming to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> I mean pidgin
[10:57] <jasonago> balle_: ubuntu normally detects everything plugged in the usb port...maybe your external drive is not yet supported by ubuntu or there's some problem on your usb port...does your other usb peripherals working fine???
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> No, miranda does
[10:57] <negge^> jigp: yes but which model exactly. Write lspci in a terminal to check it
[10:57] <jigp> dasy2k1 : http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1965/screenshotto3.th.png
[10:58] <ajzimmerman> Am I not allowed to talk about things unspecific to Ubuntu in here?
[10:58] <Flynsarmy> Are there any netlimiter clones for ubuntu?
[10:58] <negge^> jigp: you just posted a link to a thumbnail
[10:58] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, not here; in the ot channel
[10:58] <balle_> jasonago: it's a fat32 system, and yes it does detect my mouse and stuff like that fine, though the mouse is painfully slow, maybe i need some drivers for my USB ports?
[10:58] <negge^> ajzimmerman: this channel is for support only, not for chit-chatting
[10:58] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: uhm try Kopete from kde...you might like it...

[10:59] <ajzimmerman> Thanks for throwing ideas at me though guys and girls!
[10:59] <jasonago> balle_: how old is your motherboard? is your usb port embedded in the mobord or plug and play via some cards?
[10:59] <ajzimmerman> And links.
[10:59] <ajzimmerman> Good day.
[11:00] <jigp> dasy2k1 : http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotto3.png
[11:00] <negge^> jigp: okay, I just checked and saw that you don't have the same card as I do so I don't know if the madwifi drivers would do any good for you.
[11:00] <balle_> jasonango: well the motherboard is about 3 years old (labtop) and i could not imagine anything else than the ports being imbedded in it
[11:00] <rokra> please how to configure is system sound? in 5.1?
[11:00] <jigp> negge^ ok thanks.. :)
[11:01] <jasonago> oh its a laptop...what laptop is it? lucky if it is dell coz dell is somewhat openminded in supporting ubuntu..
[11:01] <jigp> jasonago : acer aspire 4315
[11:02] <balle_> jasonango: it's a danish brand sadly a zepto.... and i know that ubuntu is not that fond of my gfx card, the version before hardy was not at least
[11:02] <jasonago> you need to install some restricted usb drivers for your laptop...its better to inquire to laptop's customer service...
[11:02] <jigp> jasonago : i cannot connect to my wireless router... im using now a lan..i downloaded all the packages but still i cannot connect  to my wireless.....
[11:02] <negge^> jigp: check out http://madwifi.org/ anyway, the driver has been reported to work with quite many Atheros cards so it's always worth a try. You'll find installation instructions on the site, compiling it from source code is really easy and afaik the best way to do it
[11:02] <jasonago> but ubuntu detects your wireless router?
[11:03] <matteo_> Hi, how can i edit my xfce menu in Xubuntu?
[11:03] <levander> Did GNOME every get a good image browser?  gthumb is too simplistic.  That one based on Mono didn't even support RAW images.
[11:03] <balle_> jasonago: okay then so i need to call 'em up again you think?
[11:03] <omer_> hi,i have installed eclipse-cdt but i can not found it in applications menu
[11:04] <omer_> where can i find it
[11:04] <balle_> jasonago: wireless is a full go, though it doesnt detect my own wireless router, i think it's something in the encryption because it works fine with windows
[11:04] <jasonago> balle_: well yes...unless someone in this chatroom knows how to fix that prob..
[11:04] <angah> hi..i got problem with my wireless in my laptop. My laptop use Atheros. I already install ndiswrapper. This is lshw from my laptop http://pastebin.com/m49ee3f43
[11:04] <negge^> levander: the default one that comes with GNOME is okay isn't it? Atleast it works
[11:04] <bazhang> balle_, what chipset
[11:05] <levander> negge^: That's f-spot right, the one based on Mono?
[11:05] <balle_> bazhang: well, where can i check that?
[11:05] <bazhang> balle_, lspci for the video card (just the one line here)
[11:05] <rocko_> hello

[11:06] <bazhang> balle_, you have hardy installed? what do hardware drivers offer for that card
[11:07] <negge^> angah: only thing I can think of that could solve the problem is using the madwifi drivers instead of ndiswrapper/proprietary driver
[11:07] <rocko_> no bazhang I need xmms
[11:07] <bazhang> !xmms | rocko_

[11:09] <negge^> omer_: I don't remember the other one
[11:09] <omer_> ok
[11:09] <rocko_> I am not a complete noob I have all free software codecs installed
[11:09] <Almindor> is there a source repository for ubuntu somewhere?
[11:09] <balle_> bazhang: is that the unrestricted drivers made by other people than the nvidia dudes?
[11:09] <bazhang> rocko_, they are not free (the codecs); they are proprietary.
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: you can get the source code to a program by writing "apt-get source programxxx"
[11:10] <rocko_> gstreamer are free software
[11:10] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | balle_
[11:10] <Almindor> negge^, any idea where the human theme source is?
[11:10] <bazhang> rocko_, the w32codecs are not.
[11:10] <DistroJockey> mikea87, I'd probably just copy the entry you use to boot your first one and change the Title and the root
[11:10] <Almindor> negge^, I mean which package..
[11:10] <angah> negge^: i search in apt-get and i got it..now install it
[11:10] <rocko_> I know
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: gnome-themes or something
[11:10] <rocko_> I don't use w32codecs
[11:10] <jigp> negge^ how to extract the tar gz?
[11:10] <balle_> bazhang: installing....
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: use synaptic so search for it
[11:10] <rocko_> I only use free software
[11:10] <jigp> negge^ done downloading the file tho
[11:11] <negge^> jigp: tar -xvf tarball.tar.gz
[11:11] <negge^> jigp: the madwifi driver?

[11:11] <mikea87> how to change the root? there are many strange digits there how to find it?

[11:20] <havocstorm> but with the driver I had on my CD it didn't have any problems
[11:20] <dasy2k1> jigp linux is not windows and dousent use exe files!
[11:21] <LSD|Ninja> dasy2k1: it does when you're messing around with Windows drivers for ndiswrapper ;)
[11:21] <dasy2k1> jigp: try ./configure then make then make isntall
[11:21]  * dasy2k1 knows nothing about ndswrapper 
[11:22] <havocstorm> !ndiswrapper
[11:22] <rhalff> ndiswrapper isn't just about wireless.
[11:23] <havocstorm> lol, I don't know that much either
[11:23] <havocstorm> I only recently got ndiswrapper working
[11:23] <havocstorm> netgear cards are crap
[11:23] <havocstorm> how hard is it to include linux drivers on your CD
[11:23] <LSD|Ninja> I've never actually used it myself, I just know it's one of the more common reasons to be screwing around with .exe files on Linux
[11:23] <dasy2k1> depends on how much m$ bribe you not to
[11:24] <havocstorm> I wish they bribed me
[11:24] <havocstorm> I need a second monitor

[11:25] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: probably as hard as it is to find hardware that doesn't need linux drivers to be supplied with it :P
[11:25] <CoolFox> anybody know the "three finger salute" for your bringing up a task manager in gnome? akin to ctrl alt del?
[11:25] <dasy2k1> jigp sorry not sure on that one ndswrappert isnt my strong point
[11:25] <ijusten> Wine doesn't work. I knew the .98 had some problems, so I waited till Ubuntu got to 1.0, but it still doesn't work. I click an exe, and it simply does nothing

[11:26] <DistroJockey> jigp, cd into the dir that was created when you extracted then  ./configure
[11:26] <LSD|Ninja> As far as wireless goes, both Intel and Atheros cards have reasonable OOB support under Ubuntu

[11:28] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: if that was really the case then they'd already be doing it :P
[11:28] <alraune> joshman220 : see you pm !
[11:28] <havocstorm> LSD|Ninja, hmm, yeah. You're right. oh well
[11:28] <havocstorm> Can anyone help with my graphics card problem?
[11:29] <Shujah> .
[11:29] <LSD|Ninja> Shujah: you don't know a guy by the handle of Ghostavo do you?
[11:30] <ijusten> does anyone know how to fix wine?
[11:30] <Shujah> LSD|Ninja, I dont :|
[11:30] <gordonjcp> ijusten: What exactly are you trying to do?
[11:30] <LSD|Ninja> Shujah: heh, he had a thing for using . like that too
[11:30] <ijusten> gordonjcp, it never actually worked, ever since I got 8.04.
[11:30] <jigp> Distrojockey : this is what i got ..error http://pastebin.com/m4adc6234
[11:30] <dasy2k1> !anyone
[11:30] <EugenMayer> is it possible to install IE 7 under wine (like ie4linux)
[11:31] <ijusten> I thought it had something to do with bugs in .98, but it still doesnt work in 1.00
[11:31] <Lusule> can anyone help me with how to get the libc development thingy i need to be able to compile my graphics driver kernel?
[11:31] <DistroJockey> jigp, did you read that README file?
[11:31] <dasy2k1> ijusten: yes, ie4linux has an ie7 implimentation (with the UI from ie6 but the rendering engine from ie7)
[11:31] <Shujah> Lusule, download built-essential and follow some guide on comiling
[11:31] <_jdd_> EugenMayer: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Beta
[11:32] <ijusten> gordonjcp, i suppose it has something to do with dependencies.
[11:32] <jigp> Distrojockey : ahhh i got it.. ./configure is not working.... what i did is i type "make"
[11:32] <ijusten> dasy2k1, I just want to get irfanview working ;_;
[11:32] <Lusule> shujah - thanks
[11:32] <jigp> whew error
[11:32] <EugenMayer> thank you
[11:33] <ijusten> dasy2k1, Idon't care of ies4linux
[11:33] <DistroJockey> jigp, make may start, but if done wrong you will have issues
[11:33] <DistroJockey> jigp, read the README. It will tell you how to do it properly
[11:33] <dasy2k1> ijusten: sorry that was supposed to go to EugenMayer
[11:34] <omer_> is there graphic driver of  VIA/S3G P4M900(ecs mother board with via chipset)  for ubuntu
[11:34] <hagus> I would like to thank pavel for helping me restrore grub.
[11:34]  * hagus skips through the channel after a couple of days of frustration.
[11:35] <zyx386> hi
[11:35] <Shujah> hiya zyx386
[11:35] <hagus> If anyone knows pavel, could they please tell me that I was grateful.
[11:35] <zyx386> how can is disable keyring manager for wireless connection?
[11:36] <gordonjcp> ijusten: without some sort of description of the problem, it's probably going to be impossible to help you
[11:36] <neeto> I once saw a list of reccommended DLL overrides for Wine when intending to play steam games like HL2, does anyone have a link to a site that provides this information?
[11:36] <jigp> Distrojockey :http://pastebin.com/m575c7d7 this what ‎got
[11:36] <ijusten> gordonjcp, I don't really know what else to say. Wine doesn't work. I click exe to install Irfanview, and nothing happens
[11:36] <wols> neeto: appdb.winehq.com?
[11:37] <neeto> wols, it wasn't there, but I'll check nonetheless
[11:37] <jigp> i need help..badly help...i cannot connect to wireless
[11:37] <gordonjcp> ijusten: ok, what error messages do you get?
[11:37] <ijusten> gordonjcp, none
[11:37] <negge> jigp: did you follow the readme when trying to compile?
[11:37] <zyx386> can anyone tell me, how?
[11:37] <ijusten> gordonjcp, it just ignores the doubleclick
[11:37] <DistroJockey> jigp, probably because you didn't read the README. And never use  sudo make
[11:37] <gordonjcp> ijusten: so you just get dropped right back at a prompt?
[11:38] <jigp> negge : yes i did :(
[11:38] <negge> jigp: hmm
[11:38] <Lusule> as before, can someone please link me a copy of the NVIDIA driver for Geforce 9600 32bit?  I can't seem to get the link from the NVIDIA page to work
[11:38] <negge> you shouldn't have gotten that many errors
[11:38] <ijusten> gordonjcp, I tried thru nautilus
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: ah, ok
[11:38] <jigp> Distrojockey : i did read it and i follow the command.same thing happen..pls read my pastebin...pls...thanks
[11:38] <julian_> got problems with my bc43 my wlan wont work with the fwcutter anymore since i deleted gutsy and installed hardy...
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: try it from a terminal, and see what happens
[11:38] <negge> jigp: I'm gonna download and compile it myself to see if I get the same errors you ho
[11:38] <roe_> jigp, what chipset are you trying to compile for?
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: also try #winehq
[11:38] <negge> got*
[11:38] <DistroJockey> jigp, I did read it
[11:38] <ijusten> gordonjcp, Ill do that
[11:38] <ijusten> thanks
[11:39] <roe_> looks like madwifi, why not just use module assistant?
[11:39] <Shujah> ijusten, from terminal wine programname.exe
[11:40] <ijusten> shujah, thanks
[11:40] <Shujah> ijusten, you might need some dlls but in that case wine will probably tell you
[11:40] <Grimnir> I have a general linux question. How do I make sure, that whenever root generates files in some folder, that the files are generated with 0775 permissions?
[11:40] <Lusule> anyone able to help me with installing the nvidia drivers please?
[11:40] <Shujah> Lusule, envyng wont work?
[11:40] <Kartagis> !nvidia | Lusule
[11:41] <dasy2k1> Grimnir: try man umask for details
[11:41] <ikonia> Shujah: why suggest envyng as the first point of call ?
[11:41] <thierry_> anyone know how to sart the windows-mounts at the autostart?
[11:41] <Grimnir> ok, thanks
[11:41] <Lusule> shujah: yes except i can't find a link to the driver i need that works
[11:41] <Kartagis> !fstab | thierry_
[11:41] <roe_> jigp, apt-get install module-assistant, then m-a a-i madwifi
[11:41] <ikonia> Lusule: what video card do you have ?
[11:41] <thierry_> thanks
[11:41] <roe_> that will create the module ath_pci
[11:42] <Shujah> ikonia, under the assumption hardware drivers didnt had the driver
[11:42] <Lusule> ikonia: geforce 9600 - i know exactly what driver i need but when i click the download link on the website, i just get an html page of spam
[11:42] <zyx386> can anyone answer?
[11:42] <ikonia> Lusule: contact nvidia then, they maintain that site
[11:42] <jigp> roe_:http://pastebin.com/m4f34c64a
[11:42] <Lusule> ikonia: someone yesterday was able to give me a link that worked, i was hoping that someone else would know it ><
[11:42] <roe_> jigp, yes I see you are trying to build the module by hand and failing.
[11:43] <negge> jigp: the driver compiles with no problem here
[11:43] <roe_> jigp, and my advice is don't build the module by hand, use module-assistant, that is why it is there
[11:43] <negge> roe_: what is module-assistant?
[11:43] <roe_> apt-cache show module-assistant
[11:43] <roe_> from the cli
[11:43] <roe_> it is a debian tool
[11:43] <BlueLaguna> Hmm, why does sudo try to resolve the hostname?
[11:44] <roe_> and a wonderful one at that
[11:44] <DistroJockey> BlueLaguna, that's been fixed in 8.04.1 I believe
[11:44] <jigp> roe_ : done ﻿apt-get install module-assistant
[11:44] <jigp> roe_ : whats next pls.. thanks
 jigp, apt-get install module-assistant, then m-a a-i madwifi
[11:45] <Shujah> Lusule, as far as I know 171.05 drivers from Nvidia work with the 9600gt on ubuntu
[11:45] <Lusule> shujah - they do, i just can't download them :D
[11:45] <Lusule> shujah - but i think i've found a workaround to allow me to get hold of them
[11:45] <Shujah> Lusule,  ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/171.05/
[11:46] <Lusule> shujah yep i just get spam when i click that, but right clicking 'save link as' i'm hoping works
[11:46] <Illarane> wols: If I interlace, I get a blank screen. :)
[11:46] <ijusten> it was missing dll. thanks for help
[11:46] <wols> Illarane: interlace?
[11:46] <jigp> roe_ : apt-get install ﻿m-a a-i madwifi ?
[11:46] <BlueLaguna> DistroJockey: This is a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu Server.  Why does it do it in the first place though?
[11:46] <Lusule> rebooting to try it now
[11:46] <JohnDoe75> hi all
[11:46] <wols> jigp: no
[11:46] <Shujah> Lusule, dude they work I just checked one
[11:46] <negge> roe_: I've used module-assistant once but I didn't know what it did, thanks for mentioning it, it really is a useful tool
[11:46] <roe_> jigp, no, m-a a-i madwifi
[11:47] <roe_> negge, I use it mainly for the nvidia module
[11:47] <nirupama> Is there any way to make the camera work in samsung Q1 ultra MID device
[11:47] <roe_> but also handy for ath_pci
[11:47] <DistroJockey> BlueLaguna, not too sure, just seen many issues relating to it and bug reports
[11:47] <zyx386> can anyone help by disable keyring manager on wireless conecction???
[11:48] <WalloO> zyx386, just set it with no password
[11:48] <WalloO> zyx386, empty password in fact. With 8.04 it works I think
[11:48] <Lusule> thanks guys, it worked fine once i worked out the link
[11:48] <Lusule> sorry for the trouble
[11:49] <DistroJockey> zyx386, does the  System - Preferences - Encryption and Keyrings  tool help?
[11:49] <roe_> I don't spend a lot of time in this channel, how do people follow the conversation with so much scroll?
[11:49] <Shujah> Lusule, dude what do you mean worked out the link :P you just had to download it - tells the real problem lies ahead :P
[11:49] <gordonjcp> roe_: page up and /lastlog in my case ;-)
[11:49] <DistroJockey> roe_, using the name of who you are replying to helps
[11:49] <Lusule> shujah - if i clicked on the link, it didn't open a download screen, it just opened an html window of spammy rubbish
[11:49] <WalloO> roe_, the best the can. However, modern irc client highlits sentence with their own use nickname, which helps to focus on specific discussion
[11:49] <jigp> roe_ : sudo ﻿m-a a-i madwifi is now working
[11:49] <zyx386> WalloO, i not say disable wireless conection key!!
[11:50] <Lusule> shujah - i already knew how to install it once i had it :D
[11:50] <jigp> roe_ install all?
[11:50] <Illarane> wols: 1680x1050@60i
[11:50] <roe_> jigp, yes
[11:50] <zyx386> DistroJockey, in which option can disable that?
[11:50] <WalloO> zyx386, wireless connection key wil stay. However, with empty password, keyring will not reuqest a password to connect
[11:50] <Lusule> !ipod lusule
[11:50] <Lusule> darnit ><
[11:50] <roe_> I guess the fast scroll keeps people from butting in on other peoples conversations
[11:50] <jigp> roe_ : ok what kind of module to install?
[11:50] <DistroJockey> zyx386, no idea sorry. Don't have wireless
[11:51] <Mr_Bad_News> i know this question is stupid but is there any window manager them like in the movies
[11:51] <roe_> jigp, once it finishes, sudo modprobe ath_pci and you are done
[11:51] <zyx386> WalloO, i set the password yet, how can i remove it?
[11:51] <SamDunne> Anyone know what a good GUI C compiler for Hardy is
[11:52] <fo2sh> hi everyone, i have ubuntu 7.10 installed on my Dell Vostro 1000 (amd) laptop...when the system starts up i can't see any splash screen (the animated ubuntu loading), is that normal?
[11:52] <WalloO> zyx386, go in menu->accessories->Passwords and encryption key. I think you will be able to reset keyring password
[11:52] <anolis> how do you connect to a wireless access point via terminal?
[11:52] <WalloO> SamDunne, eclipse
[11:52] <roe_> jigp, you are going to want to make sure you add ath_pci to the list of modules your computer will load at boot time, it used to be just add ath_pci to /etc/modules, but I think they just changed that, some one else might know
[11:52] <anolis> it doesn't always seem to work using nmapplet
[11:52] <WalloO> SamDunne, http://www.eclipse.org,  download the C/C++ dev version
[11:52] <zyx386> WalloO, which menu?
[11:52] <WalloO> zyx386, alt+f1  this menu
[11:53] <zyx386> aha the application
[11:53] <SamDunne> THanks WalloO
[11:53] <WalloO> SamDunne, eclipse if the best for Java , and very good for other programming languages as soon as you add the module for your language
[11:54] <nemo> hey folks. I'd like to unpack a 5+ gigabyte zip in ubuntu.  I'm rather dismayed that the cpio and fileroller for ubuntu do *not* support zip64
[11:54] <SamDunne> Cool. Cheers mate :)
[11:54] <nemo> is there some place I can get that?
[11:54] <zyx386> WalloO, sorry, have nothing to do with my problem, disable password disabled wireless, thanx
[11:54] <``Cube> eh, what's the opposite of compile?
[11:54] <nemo> cpio, fileroller and just the zip util for that matter.
[11:54] <``Cube> make a source code out of a binarry
[11:54] <jeela> When I try to run a media player I get an error:"X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
[11:54] <jeela> "
[11:54] <roe_> nemo, the unzip command should handle it
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: nope.
[11:55] <jigp> roe_ :  install all the packages? in module?i put * there
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: can't zip over 2 gigs either
[11:55] <``Cube> lol, it's decompile
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: and cpio which explicitly supports large zips was not built with that capability in ubuntu
[11:55] <nemo> rather annoying actually
[11:56] <roe_> nemo well that is obnoxious, I use debian, so I guess I don't have that problem
[11:56] <Richwn> i have forgotten the command to shutdown o_o
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: obnoxious? how so?
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: merely statements of fact. your interpretation is rather puzzling
[11:56] <jigp> roe _ : installing madwifi failed :(
[11:56] <Circus-Killer> richwn: sudo shutdown -h now
[11:56] <roe_> nemo, obnoxious that the roll of cpio in ubuntu doesn't have that support
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: when you say you don't have that problem in debian, are you saying you have successfully done a zip with cpio, or zipped a 2 gigabyte + file?
[11:56] <Richwn> you have saved me!
[11:56] <Richwn> huzzah
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: that is a statement of fact
[11:57] <Richwn> i xkilled something i shouldnt have xkilled
[11:57] <anolis> how do you connect to a wireless access point via terminal?
[11:57] <roe_> nemo and mine is a statement of emotion :)
[11:57] <nemo> roe_: I'm here to find out why, and where a package that does it might exist.
[11:57] <nemo> roe_: fine. I can disregard your emotional outburst about me being obnoxious then
[11:57] <jigp> roe_ : but dont typing ﻿sudo modprobe ath_pci
[11:57] <nemo> which was rather insulting.
[11:58] <nemo> cpio: invalid archive format `zip'; valid formats are:
[11:58] <nemo> crc newc odc bin ustar tar (all-caps also recognized)
[11:58] <jigp> roe_ : still no wireless options there in the clock portion in the icon monitor
[11:58] <roe_> nemo I think you mis understood my comment, I was not commenting that you were being obnoxious, I was commenting that the limit put in place by the ubuntu maintainers is obnoxious
[11:59] <jigp> roe_: need to restart the pc?
[11:59] <roe_> jigp, no
[11:59] <nemo> roe_: mm. well. I'll happily use the debian package.
[11:59] <nemo> roe_: mind verifying you can zip a 2+ gigabyte archive?
[11:59] <jigp> roe_ : how to connect to my wireless then?
[11:59] <roe_> jigp, lsmod, is ath_pci listed?
[11:59] <jeela> Why do I get an error "X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)" when  I try to run a media layer
[11:59] <Flannel> nemo: Might be worth the time filing a bug too while you're at it
[11:59] <jigp> roe_ : checking
[12:00] <roe_> nemo, would love to, don't happen to have one on hand, will have to create one
[12:00] <nemo> Flannel: I'm sure it'll get to that point.  At moment though, kind of embarassing that I can't pack this file for windows users
[12:00] <Richwn> urgh. not working
[12:00] <TB`> Hi all
[12:00] <nemo> roe_: meh. dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=1M count=2048
[12:01] <Flannel> nemo: file roller can handle zips, also "zip" can too
[12:01] <nemo> roe_: will compress great too :)
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : this on ath_pci               101024  0
[12:01] <nemo> Flannel: as noted. neither can handle large zips - over 2 gigabytes :-/
[12:01] <Shujah> nemo, >http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/zipunzip-file-too-big-338131/ <-might help
[12:01] <nemo> Flannel: in this case, the initial file was 6.4GiB
[12:01] <roe_> jigp ifconfig -a is there a wifi0?
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : maybe restart the pc?
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : checking
[12:01] <roe_> jigp, no. this is not windows, you only have to restart to replace your kernel
[12:02] <nemo> Shujah: cpio should work too, but they suggest 7zip does - if so, that's rather sad given 7zip is just a thin wrapper over the windows blob :-p
[12:02] <Richwn> right, j just need the command to force shutdown
[12:02] <Richwn> sudo shutdown -h didnt work
[12:02] <Shujah> nemo, Remove zip and unzip. Download the source for zip and unzip. Then add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to the ./configure command. Also do not forget to include largefile option if there is one. < from the link
[12:03] <jigp> roe_ : http://pastebin.com/m3ee2ff2a
[12:03] <Flannel> Richwn: sudo shutdown -h now
[12:03] <dasy2k1> roe_: emm if you have just compiled a wifi modulde then a restart would be needed.... as madwifi can make changes to the kernel
[12:03] <Richwn> Flannel, tried that
[12:03] <Richwn> no effect
[12:03] <Flannel> Richwn: with or without "now"?
[12:03]  * Richwn headdesks
[12:03] <roe_> dasy2k1, loading a kernel module does not require a restart at all
[12:03] <Richwn> i didnt unclude now
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: heh. yeaaaah, I could also build that support into cpio - was asking in #ubuntu 'cause I was hoping there was a distro package :)
[12:04] <Lusule> when trying to save my nvidia settings to x config file, why does it give the error that it's unable to remove the backup and abort?
[12:04] <Richwn> good catch :)
[12:04] <TB`> Anyone know where I can get Ubuntu 8.10? Can't find it anywhere
[12:04] <Flannel> TB`: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[12:04] <jigp> roe_ : http://pastebin.com/m3ee2ff2a  i paste it here the ifconfig -a
[12:04] <roe_> jigp, can you poastbin your lspci output
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: p7zip-full appears to be working though
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: thanks for reference.
[12:05] <nemo> Shujah: perhaps should be included in file-roller - files of over 2 gigabytes in size are increasing in this day and age of bloated discs
[12:05] <ocr> I have problems upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 remote server. It seg faults on upgrade (http://pastie.org/233667) with 51 not fully installed packages. I have tried the usual (apt-get -f install/remove, dpkg --force-all -i /var/.../pkg.deb/-r groff-base, aptitude self-upgrade, etc...) suggestions?
[12:05] <Shujah> nemo,   actually  unzip (5.51-2ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low  * Fixed unzip of >2GB files --- what version of unzip do you have
[12:05] <ocr> no iLOM on the server, so cannot update remotely
[12:05] <nemo> Shujah: do believe I'm on hardy + experimental
[12:06] <jigp> roe_: http://pastebin.com/m3f0f3a27
[12:06] <jigp> roe_: http://pastebin.com/m3f0f3a27 - sorry. this is the lspci
[12:06] <Kartagis> my wireless adapters
[12:06] <nemo> Shujah: Zip 2.32 (June 19th 2006). hm. *checks package version*
[12:07] <Lusule> could someone help me with a graphics problem please?  at the moment, everytime i restart i have to reinstall the driver
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: indeed. 2.32.1
[12:07] <Vegombrei> hi .. i need some help with irssi
[12:07] <nemo> oh. that's zip. *checks unzip*
[12:07] <Harde> How to convert mp4 -> AVi in Avidemux?
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: 5.52-10ubuntu2
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: however, when I tried to unpack it I got:
[12:07] <Vegombrei> how do i get it to sign in and stuff automatically ?
[12:08] <nemo> 606356628 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
[12:08] <wols> Illarane: do NOT use interlaced. EVER
[12:08] <Shujah> nemo, weird this version should be patched for unzip > 2Gb
[12:08] <wols> Illarane: and that's not your syncrate
[12:08] <jigp> roe_ : is this correct in lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[12:08] <nemo> Shujah: followed by (attempting to process anyway) start of central directory not found; zipfile corrupt.
[12:08] <roe_> jigp, yes that is the wireless card
[12:08] <Kartagis> my wireless adapter's PCI ID is 168c:001c according to lspci -n output. will 168c:0013 work with my wireless adapter?
[12:08] <roe_> jigp, pastbin your lsmod output
[12:08] <nemo> Shujah: p7zip-full appears to be handling it fine. guess it is time for a bug report.
[12:08] <nemo> as Flannel requested :)
[12:08] <Vegombrei> anyone using irssi here ?
[12:09] <nemo> Vegombrei: who doesn't? :)
[12:09] <redduck676> when i try to play gta2 i get ''video mode 16x16x16 is not available''. any hints?
[12:09] <Vegombrei> nemo: how do i get irssi to automatically sign into this server with my nick ?

[12:10] <Kartagis> i don't use irssi
[12:10] <nemo> Vegombrei: oh. heh. sorry.  I actually identify by hand, when I remember.  I guess #irssi or someone else

[12:11] <DistroJockey> redduck676, this is not the best place to ask, but I'm guessing it wants 16 bit rather than the 24 bit you are probably running at
[12:11] <Lusule> i would really appreciate some help with my graphics problem :(
[12:11] <chato> hola
[12:12] <Flannel> Vegombrei: You can set it up with the server set up (see section 5) http://irssi.org/documentation/manual
[12:12] <roe_> jigp, do an rmmod ath_pci, then an modprobe ath_pci and then pastebin that last 20 or so lines of /var/log/syslog
[12:13] <roe_> nemo, it looks like the debian build of 2.32-1 also was not built with that support
[12:13] <nemo> Lusule: only reason I can think of for needing to "reinstall" every time you restart is a kernel module not getting loaded
[12:13] <Lusule> nemo: i'm having all sorts of problems, I think mainly stemming from the fact it doesn't seem able to write to the config properly
[12:14] <nemo> Lusule: what's your card?
[12:14] <Lusule> nemo: geforce 9600
[12:14] <nemo> roe_: p7zip-full did indeed flawlessly unpack
[12:14] <jigp> roe_ : sudo /var/log/syslog is not working..command not found
[12:14] <nemo> Lusule: shouldn't be any problems with that.  8.04 ?
[12:15] <roe_> jigp, sudo tail -n 25 /var/log/syslog
[12:15] <Lusule> nemo: yes, and i know i installed the right driver and i'm pretty sure i installed it properly
[12:15] <Lusule> nemo - but the nvidia settings seem to be completely up the spout
[12:15] <cygoku> Does anyone know why my laptop can't see any SSID ?
[12:15] <roe_> nemo, I'm gonna file a bug with debian about that
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> was wondering if someone could help me, the toolbar on my windows has gone transparent with no border
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> and I cant get it back :o
[12:15] <arvind_khadri> !anyone | cygoku
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> anyone got ne ideas
[12:16] <abbe> hi channel
[12:16] <TB`> 'Lo
[12:16] <nemo> roe_: cool. thanks much.
[12:16]  * abbe is having problem printing PDFs (using Evince) to a local printer
[12:16] <cygoku> What the,...
[12:16] <nemo> roe_: since ubuntu follows debian pretty much, no point in me filing there...
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: did you use nvidia.com drivers or ubuntu ones?
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: nvidia.com ones
[12:17] <roe_> nemo correct
[12:17] <nemo> hah
[12:17] <abbe> when one of my user tries to print any PDF file using Evince, the print job gets held in queue, and I've to manually release it
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: i don't think ubuntu do ones for my card yet
[12:17] <cygoku> I have an laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 and it doesn't detect any SSID, please help.
[12:17] <arvind_khadri> abbe, i remember there was a bug regarding that not sure though
[12:17] <havocstorm> hi
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: then we will not support it. ask #nvidia
[12:17] <havocstorm> does anyone know where I can get some old nvidia drivers?
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: okay thanks :(
[12:17] <nemo> roe_: that being directed at use of nvidia.com btw :)
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: I don't think I agree with you
[12:17] <havocstorm> the one that ubuntu recommends has problems
[12:17] <roe_> nemo, I followed :)
[12:17] <abbe> arvind_khadri: I'm the administrator user, the guy who is printing is an LDAP user
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: agree with what?
[12:18] <havocstorm> whenver I turn it on I hear a high pitched whining from the PC case
[12:18] <havocstorm> can anyone help?
[12:18] <Kartagis> I am trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper but the archive I downloaded has no .sys or .inf. any ideas?
[12:18] <arvind_khadri> abbe, no idea ...
[12:18] <roe_> jigp, any luck with that pastebin?
[12:18] <redduck666> Kartagis: yeah, download different archive

[12:19] <nemo> roe_: hey. /msg me URL to bug? I'd like to follow if you don't mind
[12:19] <wols> Lusule: agree with thinking ubuntu drivers doesn't support your chip

[12:19] <arvind_khadri> Kartagis, use your windows driver cd if you have it ;)

[12:20] <whileimhere> Hi. I was wondering why it is composting works nativly in the XFCE Desktop but neither Beryle or compiz works in gnome on the same machine.
[12:20] <fantasticmrfox> This channel could use a ticketing system :D
[12:20] <roe_> jigp, join #madwifi and paste the link to your syslog there someone there should be able to help you, I'm in there as well
[12:21] <Flannel> fantasticmrfox: theres a website for that
[12:21] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, you need to install compiz separately in gnome
[12:22] <whileimhere> arvind_khadri I do have it installed. I have tried both of them but neither work .
[12:23] <arvind_khadri>  
[12:23] <crashanddie> Hi, I had a bluetooth problem, so I tried installing the latest bluez packages from source. That didn't change anything, so I tried reverting back to the Ubuntu provided packages, but now hcitool dev doesn't show any devices anymore... What should I do ?
[12:23] <unclemike> dpkg: parse erorr, in file /var/lib/dkpg/status' near line 2005 package gtk2-engines-smooth missing version....... i cant install anything
[12:23] <rgb> crimsun: Hello, you there?
[12:23] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, hmm fusion-icon??
[12:23] <jigp> ok roe_
[12:24] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, after installing fusion-icon run it
[12:26] <catnips> is there a beginner's channel for ubuntu?  I understand I can busy myself reading links provided in the auto-greet, but wow - there's a lot of users here!
[12:26] <jigp> catnips : are you from uspolitricks?
[12:27] <catnips> jigp : yes
[12:27] <arvind_khadri> catnips, there is documentation in help and suppot
[12:27] <MatthewV> catnips, if you have a question, just ask it :)
[12:27] <arvind_khadri> catnips, s/suppot/support
[12:27] <jigp> catnips : nice. try install ubuntu.you can dual it for start. my problem now is how to connect wireless..
[12:27] <lyte> can anyone tell me what I have to do to get firefox to recognise a printer once it's in kubuntu's System Settings > Printers ?
[12:27] <fantasticmrfox> Does anyone miss a beat in this channel?
[12:28] <arvind_khadri> lyte, just print automatically
[12:28] <lyte> arvind_khadri, but the printer isn't in the list
[12:28] <catnips> jigp : well, I do actually disks somewhere that I sent off for but it's been a long time
[12:28] <arvind_khadri> lyte, can you see a printer icon on your panel near the clock
[12:29] <lyte> arvind_khadri, no, i've probably removed that applet
[12:29] <AnGeLeuS> server irc.evoirc.org
[12:29] <arvind_khadri> lyte, hmm.. do other apps like OO print??
[12:29] <unclemike> dpkg: parse erorr, in file /var/lib/dkpg/status' near line 2005 package gtk2-engines-smooth missing version....... i cant install anything
[12:30] <arvind_khadri> unclemike, did you play with that??
[12:30] <lyte> arvind_khadri, no, nothing seems to be recognising the printer except for the system settings program
[12:30] <unclemike> no i did not
[12:31] <arvind_khadri> lyte, after plugging in the printer just see what does dmesg | tail offer
[12:31] <Harde> When I try to install Gambas2, it tells me to put cd-rom on. I've got no cd-rom (Hardy) right now, what's wrong?
[12:31] <bringatowel> catnips, ubuntuforums.org is another good place to get started, also feel free to ask whatever questions you have here :)
[12:31] <the9a3eedi> y halo thar. I was following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe , and I just wanted to know if there's any way to install an x86 RPM package on an amd64 ubuntu system with alien
[12:32] <catnips> bringatowel : I'll check it out, and when I can form a coherent question, I'll do so - thanks :)
[12:32] <lyte> arvind_khadri, argh nvm i put "users" in the group that could use the printer, apparently i'm not in that group
[12:32] <lyte> all fixed
[12:32] <arvind_khadri> lyte, :) oh ok
[12:33] <soundray> unclemike: make a backup of your status file with 'sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-backup', then restore from the existing backup with 'sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status'
[12:33] <soundray> unclemike: after that it should work again
[12:33] <bringatowel> Harde, if you have the CD, put it in. otherwise, go to System -> Admin -> Software sources, and make sure something is selected for download sources
[12:34] <soundray> unclemike: perhaps check something else first:
[12:34] <Kardoso> Hello all
[12:34] <soundray> unclemike: do a 'df -h' to make sure you haven't got any full disks
[12:34] <CoolFox> anybody know the "three finger salute" for your bringing up a task manager in gnome? akin to ctrl alt del?
[12:34] <bringatowel> !universe the9a3eedi
[12:34] <_jdd_> the9a3eedi: a cursory googling makes it seem like it could be possible, but would probably be pretty challenging to figure out unless it's the type of thing you do every day
[12:34] <bringatowel> !universe | the9a3eedi
[12:35] <bringatowel> !rpm
[12:35] <LSD|Ninja> !apt
[12:35] <Kardoso> I have some questions. Can I ask?
[12:35] <soundray> unclemike: are you there?
[12:35] <soundray> Kardoso: yes
[12:35] <arvind_khadri> !ask | Kardoso
[12:36] <tux_mark_5> hi
[12:36] <LSD|Ninja> Kardoso: no, go away. j/k. Ask away
[12:36] <tux_mark_5> does anyone know the difference between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new in ubuntu based distros?
[12:36] <Kardoso> LSDNinja: thanks :P
[12:36] <Lusule> still looking for help with some graphics problems :(
[12:36] <arvind_khadri> Kardoso, you seem to have missing fonts :)
[12:36] <Harde> bringatowel: I took cd-option away from sources, all is well now
[12:36] <bringatowel> Lusule, try to explain what the problem is
[12:37] <BoltClock> how long after a new kernel release does it take for the repositories to update to it? im on hardy
[12:37] <Kardoso> I'm a web developer. What can I use in Ubuntu similiar like as Frontpage?
[12:37] <wols> BoltClock: until a new ubuntu version comes out
[12:37] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: web developers don't use Frontpage ;-)
[12:37] <Lusule> bringatowel: i installed the drivers for my nvidia geforce 9600, and i'm trying to use twinview, but i'm having problems with the fact that one monitor is widescreen, the other isn't
[12:37] <Kardoso> :)
[12:37] <soundray> BoltClock: as a rule, kernels won't be updated between releases
[12:37] <BoltClock> gordonjcp: lol whats frontpage /sarcasm
[12:37] <Soul_Sample> anybody experienced with virtualbox?
[12:38] <wols> !anyone | Soul_Sample
[12:38] <soundray> !html | Kardoso
[12:38] <bringatowel> Lusule, have you tried enabling restricted drivers?
[12:38] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: I'm use another web developer tools too, not just frontpage.
[12:38] <gordonjcp> BoltClock: Frontpage is a Windows-only web editor thing, which leaves very messy code that I charge about 200 quid an hour to put right
[12:38] <Kardoso> But, because I'm starter in Ubuntu I dont know any web developer softwares for Ubuntu
[12:38] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: to be honest I pretty much just use gedit
[12:38] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, gosh you make fortunes !!!!
[12:38] <BoltClock> gordonjcp: lol
[12:38] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: thanks
[12:39] <_jdd_> Kardoso: HTML isn't too hard to learn. gordonjcp has the right idea.
[12:39] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: is it similiar like as Notepad for Windows?
[12:39] <BoltClock> ﻿wols,soundray: so it is... so ill only get revision updates, x.y.z-20 or x.y.z-21?
[12:39] <BoltClock> Kardoso: nah, it tries to be an IDE. its more comparable to dreamweaver
[12:39] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: I don't know, what's notepad?
[12:39] <soundray> BoltClock: yes
[12:39] <Lusule> bringatowel: i'm also having problems switching desktops
[12:40] <StonedToo> Kardoso: maybe you should try "Screem"
[12:40] <Kardoso> jjd: i know, usually I use Notepad and Dreamweaver. just seldom frontpage
[12:40] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: it does stuff like syntax highlighting and has multiple tabs
[12:40] <Mechdave> Kardoso: Open Office has a html editor in it
[12:40] <jjcv> quit
[12:40] <soundray> Kardoso: did you read what ubottu said ^^
[12:40] <Kardoso> Mechdave: thanks
[12:40] <soundray> !html > Kardoso
[12:40] <bringatowel> Kardoso, all those editors that are mentioned are good to edit HTML, if you want to learn how to host a website as well then learn more about Apache, PHP, and MySQL
[12:40] <BoltClock> Kardoso, personally, i use aptana studio http://www.aptana.com
[12:40] <bringatowel> Lusule, have you tried enabling restricted drivers?
[12:40] <Kardoso> Thanks everyone
[12:41] <bringatowel> or try something like google hosted ;)
[12:41] <Soul_Sample> i have installed windows 95 in virtualbox for sentimental reasons, and the installation went well, everything is okay, but when it was supposed to boot first i just got a garbled display, and the little hd icon reports that there is hd activity, but nothing happens (for about 20min now)... is this some normal initialization or something isn't right?
[12:41] <Kardoso> Something similiar like as Notepad (in windows) enought for me. Thanks, I will try the softwares that you should.
[12:42] <Lusule> bringatowel - i'm using the 17.5 nvidia driver because there aren't any other drivers available for my card yet
[12:42] <havocstorm> hey guys
[12:42] <havocstorm> there's no audio when I play flash stuff from the internet
[12:42] <havocstorm> can anyone help?
[12:42] <European-African> does rhythmbox have many plugins?
[12:42] <rgb> Kardoso...  Notepad is horrible if you are developing a website.
[12:42] <WildOscar> I have this problem in hardy every few minutes the screen freezes any idea
[12:43] <WildOscar> Hardy - running compiz fusion + emerald
[12:43] <Mechdave> havocstorm: Have you got the gstreamer plugins installed?
[12:43] <Kardoso> rgb: yes :( but actually, I only have Notepad and Dreamweaver
[12:43] <havocstorm> lemme check
[12:43] <rgb> So why didn't you use Dreamweaver?
[12:43] <Kardoso> I use it too
[12:43] <rgb> As for webdevelopment on Linux, just use Vim or something.
[12:43] <bringatowel> Lusule, which one is that? it is part of the restricted drivers packages?
[12:44] <Kardoso> I builded my website (HTML, PHP) with Dreamweaver
[12:44] <Lusule> bringatowel - no, those packages don't support my card
[12:44] <rgb> >builded
[12:44] <rgb> No ed.
[12:44] <havocstorm> MechDave, Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin?
[12:44] <Mechdave> built
[12:44] <Lusule> bringatowel - it's almost certainly a problem with my configuration
[12:45] <Mechdave> havocstorm you need the gstreamer bad and ugly plugins
[12:45] <WildOscar> guys any idea? Hardy freezes
[12:45] <bringatowel> Kardoso, Bluefish is pretty good at doing text editing for things like HTML, also heard good things about Kate
[12:45] <havocstorm> Mechdave, thanks, I'll dl that now
[12:45] <Kartagis> WildOscar: probably display card
[12:45] <_jdd_> WildOscar: randomly, or predictably?
[12:45] <Kardoso> bringatowel: Thanks
[12:45] <Kardoso> i will try it
[12:45] <rgb> bringatowel: Oh god no, don't suggest Kate.  It's worse than Gedit.
[12:45] <bringatowel> !envyng | Lusule
[12:45] <WildOscar> Kartagis, display card.. using Nvidia with the lastest driver
[12:46] <Harde> I'm trying to install Convertit, but Gambas installed newest versions of itself, and Convertit requires older runtime-version, what to do?
[12:46] <Kartagis> !nvidia | WildOscar
[12:46] <StooJ> How can I change a programme's icon globally, so it shows up properly in AWN, nautilus, the gnome menu etc?
[12:46] <_jdd_> Kardoso: You'll probably want to try a few different editors and see what you like best - there are a lot of offerings. I myself use emacs.
[12:46] <bringatowel> Lusule, you might want to try installing envyng and envyng-gtk since it might find a better version of your drivers, also adds Nvidia X server settings if you dont have that already
[12:46] <Kardoso> jjd: yes, i will try all of them
[12:47] <rgb> _jdd_: Emacs isn't a text editor.
[12:47] <Ayabara> my touchpad has stopped working after a bios update. is there a way I can reconfigure it?
[12:47] <bujang> #kampung
[12:47] <_jdd_> rgb: no but it's everything else and you can write one in it! (in ERC right now)
[12:47] <rgb> Exactly.
[12:47] <JonathanEllis> Hi. Can someone tell me how I can find a list of my hardware?
[12:47] <rgb> Crazy stuff.
[12:48] <Mechdave> JonathanEllis: try lspci
[12:48] <rgb> The developers never heard of KISS and "Do one thing and do it right."
[12:48] <Kardoso> My friend has an slow PC (64 MB RAM, Pentium 2 processor) and extra-slow Windows98. My question: Can I use Ubuntu (in LiveCD mode) on that computer?
[12:48] <jjcv> Try pico for simple text editing
[12:48] <arvind_k> rgb, you can go to #motu
[12:48] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: probably xubuntu
[12:48] <_jdd_> rgb: That may be. I use it mainly because I can control everything it does, and I never run out of little ideas to code up in elisp.
[12:48] <ajzimmerman> I am having trouble with Launcher Properties accepting a regular SVG file I converted from PNG.
[12:48] <rgb> motu?
[12:49] <_jdd_> rgb: keeps me sharp
[12:49] <jpds> arvind_k: #ubuntu-motu
[12:49] <Mechdave> Another good editor that is simple to use is joe
[12:49] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: thanks, where can I download it?
[12:49] <jpds> !motu | rgb
[12:49] <Lusule> my graphics messed up again and i missed whatever was last said to me
[12:49] <rgb> Lol
[12:49] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: Please give me a download link
[12:49] <arvind_k> jpds, :) ya thats what i meant
[12:49] <ajzimmerman> When browsing the location the SVG file is not there...
[12:49] <rgb> Nah sorry, I'm no where near qualified for motu.
[12:49] <Acorn> what's the easiest way to be able to run ubuntu from the boot cd and be able to use the cd drive?
[12:49] <bringatowel> rgb, lol well gedit is nice as well, afaik kate has more programming features like PHP debugger that some people like :P
[12:49] <Acorn> can you get it to dump itself somewhere?
[12:50] <rgb> Acorn, perhaps install a second cd/dvd-drive?
[12:50] <_jdd_> Acorn: with only one cd drive? You may be able to load the whole thing into ram somehow.
[12:50] <rgb> bringatowel: Might be the case.  From my experience it's horrible though.
[12:50] <arvind_k> Acorn, use a USB install
[12:50] <Acorn> can you put it onto the hard disk?
[12:50] <arvind_k> !usb | Acorn
[12:50] <Mechdave> Is't there a boot option on the cd for tomem?
[12:50] <Acorn> i don't have any usb drives :/
[12:50] <_jdd_> Acorn: you could install it.
[12:50] <bringatowel> Lusule, you might want to try installing envyng and envyng-gtk since it might find a better version of your drivers, also adds Nvidia X server settings if you dont have that already
[12:51] <catnips> thanks for the suggested reads - bbl
[12:51] <Kardoso> Does Xubuntu has Live CD feature? Please give me a download link, I want to try it.
[12:51] <ajzimmerman> Why can't I see the SVG files in Launcher Properties?
[12:51] <Acorn> _jdd_: i suppose
[12:51] <JonathanEllis> ﻿Mechdave: Thanks. Any idea how I find out what processor I have?
[12:51] <arvind_k> !xubuntu | Kardoso
[12:51] <Acorn> what does the "run from hard drive" option do?
[12:51] <Kardoso> arvind_k: thanks
[12:51] <bringatowel> Acorn, you can get a memory stick for about $10 these days
[12:51] <Mechdave> JonathanEllis yes, try cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:51] <_jdd_> Acorn: boots whatever is on your hard drive
[12:51] <arvind_k> Kardoso,  :) np
[12:51] <Acorn> bringatowel: yeah, i really need to get one :)
[12:52] <Acorn> _jdd_: on the live cd?
[12:52] <_jdd_> Acorn: no. It just skips all the livecd stuff and boots like it normally would with no cd in it
[12:52] <JonathanEllis> Mechdave: Thanks again. And finally, how do I check how much RAM I have?
[12:52] <Acorn> _jdd_: oh
[12:52] <_jdd_> Acorn: you could dual-boot if you don't want to lose your current installation of whatever, and have the hard drive space for it
[12:53] <arvind_k> JonathanEllis, it would be in your bios or remove the cover of the CPU and check for yourself :D
[12:53] <Acorn> no, it's brand new hard drives, and I need to write an OS CD using the drive in my computer
[12:54] <Acorn> i suppose i could temporarily install ubuntu then write the image and then install
[12:54] <Mechdave> JonathanEllis the proc filesystem will give you all that info, I recommend that you have a good browse through it. As for the ram I am not sure exactly (I am currently on XP), so sorry I can't even check for you
[12:54] <_jdd_> Acorn: also, there may be a switch for loading into ram if you hit f2 or f3 on the boot screen (anyone know off the top of their head?)
[12:54] <havocstorm> Mechdave, are you sure it's called gstreamer bad and ugly? I can't seem to find it
[12:54] <Acorn> yeah, i do have 4gb of ram :)
[12:54] <Soul_Sample> any ideas why would windows 95 installed in virtualbox give a garbled display on first boot?
[12:54] <Mechdave> havocstorm: one second
[12:54] <bringatowel> lol yeah Acorn actually you can do that with so much RAM, there is an option somewhere
[12:55] <AlexExt>  
[12:55] <Acorn> f2 f3
[12:55] <JonathanEllis> I know I have 1GB of RAM but I want to check if my machine is seeing it all. An application is running very slowly and I am trying to figure out why.
[12:55] <Lusule> bringatowel:  what was that program you suggested again?
[12:55] <AlexExt>  
[12:55] <_jdd_> Acorn: and other f buttons. might take some reading though
[12:55] <MatthewV> JonathanEllis, System --> ADministration --> System Monitor may help :)
[12:55] <Mechdave> havocstorm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gstreamer+plugins&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all

[12:56] <Lusule> bringatowel: thanks
[12:56] <Miksag1> hey.. um, how do i setup a script or something to run on startup; I need to chmod and chown a directory to make sure all users can access a directory
[12:56] <jhesketh_> Hi. Does anybody here know any good software for creating and conducting exams with? i.e. Multiple choice questionairs or something (preferably GTK)
[12:57] <Acorn> !toram
[12:57] <arvind_k> Miksag1, you need to do that everytime
[12:57] <Mechdave> Miksag1: You could add a script that is loaded by /etc/profile
[12:57] <CoolFox> hey, is there a way to set up your scroll bars so that both buttons are on one side?
[12:57] <Acorn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[12:57] <Miksag1> Mechdave: are there doc's on that?
[12:57] <havocstorm> Mechdave,  GStreamer extra plugins GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set ?
[12:57] <WildOscar> ubottu i have already installed the drivers and compiz is working fine
[12:57] <Acorn> doesn't sound like you can do it with a normal boot cd
[12:57] <havocstorm> Mechdave, I think I already have that installed
[12:57] <Mechdave> Miksag1: arvind_k is right, you usually only need to set permissions once
[12:58] <bringatowel> jhesketh_, not really sure, but you might want to check out www.edubuntu.org and #edubuntu
[12:58] <Miksag1> yeah, but the users add files, then another user can't change them
[12:58] <ajzimmerman> Can someone please help me.
[12:58] <rgb> clear
[12:58] <Miksag1> ajzimmerman: i could try?
[12:58] <arvind_k> Miksag1, oh ok then change the umask value but thats dangerous
[12:58] <Miksag1> hmm... anything safer?
[12:58] <arvind_k> !anyone | ajzimmerman
[12:59] <ajzimmerman> I'm just trying to change the image for the launcher properties
[12:59] <_jdd_> Acorn: I'm fairly certain Knoppix has the option if ubuntu doesn't.
[12:59] <Mechdave> Miksag1: Ok just put in each users .bash_logout file chmod -R o+r /path/to/directory
[12:59] <arvind_k> miksag1, hmm the script way :) do you want it for all the users??
[12:59] <WildOscar> Kartagis: I have installed the nvidia drivers as per the how to and compiz running with out any problems, but i the system freezes up every once in a while for aprox 10sec then resumes to be normal, any idea
[12:59] <ajzimmerman> But, I've already changed the PNG file to SVG, and it's not even showing in the directory
[12:59] <jigp> we need help roe_ and me..pls..how to connect wireless? acer aspire 4315 laptop...
[12:59] <rgb> ajzimmerman: Right click > Properties.
[12:59] <miksag1> yes
[12:59] <miksag1> all users
[12:59] <ajzimmerman> rgb: I did, and when I go and look for the image where I put it. It's not there
[12:59] <arvind_k> Mechdave, how about using rc.local
[13:00] <ajzimmerman> I've already tried changing it with GIMP, an online service, and some other prog.
[13:00] <Ayabara> should the Touchpad menu be in preferences by default on my laptop?
[13:00] <Mechdave> havocstorm: sorry I am fresh out of ideas, as long as your sound card is working properly
[13:00] <Lusule> bringatowel: envyng doesn't work with my card :(  i seem to have fixed most of the problems now, it's just that i have to reinstall everytime i reboot
[13:00] <rgb> ajzimmerman: It is there.  You just don't see it in the folder browser.
[13:00] <ajzimmerman> rgb: correct
[13:00] <jhesketh_> bringatowel: Thanks, but as far as I know it doesn't come with any testing/exam/quiz softare (Just had another look and couldn't see anything).
[13:01] <arvind_k> miksag1, what i would personally suggest is adding that command to session of each user ... but then they need to have admin rights i feel
[13:01] <ajzimmerman> I have show hidden files on too.
[13:01] <rgb>  . . .
[13:01] <miksag1> hmm..
[13:01] <bringatowel> Lusule, that is weird, hmm your card does not sound that old. what do you have to reinstall?
[13:01] <Lusule> my card isn't old, it's very new
[13:01] <Afarys_> !wireless
[13:02] <bringatowel> jhesketh_, hmm well their forum might have some ideas, or try asking in #edubuntu
[13:02] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: "sudo updatedb && locate filename" from the terminal, where filename is whatever you named the file, or a portion of it.
[13:02] <jhesketh_> bringatowel: ok, thanks for your help :)
[13:02] <Lusule> bringatowel : it seems that though envyng doesn't recognise my card, i can manually choose to use it to install a driver that seems to be the same one i was installing manually
[13:02] <arvind_k> miksag1, or else when the user adds files then itself change it...
[13:02] <bringatowel> jhesketh_, also try searching on sourceforge or something, most any software you find there should be compatible
[13:02] <Mechdave> arvind_k: yes you could use it, I was thinking that if a user changes new files on logout then it is open to less of a security issue
[13:02] <Mechdave> arvind_k: I think :)
[13:02] <jhesketh_> bringatowel: yeah, I've been googling and searching on sites for a while :S
[13:02] <Lusule> bringatowel:  i'm using it's install to see if it does it any better
[13:02] <havocstorm> Can anyone help me with a audio problem with flash files in firefox?
[13:03] <arvind_k> Mechdave, yeah correct
[13:03] <arvind_k> !anyone | havocstorm
[13:03] <newk> havocstorm: how did u install flash
[13:03] <miksag1> can i make a script that when files are changed in the directory, it gets automatically fired?
[13:03] <Mechdave> arvind_k: Or you could write a script to only change files in that directory owned by $USER
[13:03] <miksag1> also, who should i contact about nick's on this irc network
[13:03] <bringatowel> !flash
[13:03] <Pici> miksag1: #freenode
[13:04] <Mechdave> arvind_k: therefore avoiding mistakes
[13:04] <havocstorm> newk, the extension in ff? yeah
[13:04] <miksag1> okay thanks pici
[13:04] <havocstorm> newk, I can see the video fine, just can't hear the audio
[13:04] <newk> havocstorm: did u install it by synaptic or by the adobe website
[13:05] <miksag1> is this a mirror for freenode.net?
[13:05] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings, is there a file where i can look what processes scripts etc were started on boot time?
[13:05] <havocstorm> hmm, from firefox when a window poped up, newk
[13:05] <Mechdave> havocstorm: which flash viewer do you have installed in firefox?
[13:05] <bringatowel> Acorn, if you just need to burn the install cd, check out www.damnsmalllinux.org
[13:05] <arvind_k> Mechdave, thats brilliant...suggest that :)
[13:06] <havocstorm> mechdave, the one from adobe
[13:06] <Acorn> bringatowel: how will that help?
[13:06] <bringatowel> ATA_Dark_Shadow, have you checked system>admin>services?
[13:06] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> terminal only :)
[13:06] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> guess i forgot to mention that
[13:07] <Mechdave> arvind_khadri: will do
[13:07] <Mechdave> miksag1: Ok I have a cure for you mate... standby
[13:07] <Acorn> bringatowel: do you think i could boot it from a memory card in a memory card reader?
[13:07] <newk> havocstorm: try open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[13:08] <bringatowel> Acorn, sure, if you get a memory card & reader, that will work with Ubuntu live boot too
[13:08] <Acorn> bringatowel: oh great, i have one :)
[13:08] <miksag1> okay cool Mechdave
[13:09] <miksag1> I was thinking bash or cron; but I wouldn't be sure, I haven't used ubuntu (or any other form of linux) for years
[13:10]  * Miksag1 will brb, fixing nickserv and his nick
[13:11] <alraune> :quest :  Has anyone tried truecrypt with ubuntu ?
[13:11] <bringatowel> Acorn, cool check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[13:11] <locke> I've got a weird problem.. I'm trying to use a particular plugin (libspuEternal.1.41) with epsxe, and when I try to switch to the plugin (I just installed it, it works fine without it in the dir) the program quits saying libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[13:11] <newk> havocstorm: any luck?
[13:12] <locke> i'm using 8.04, and doing a search, i see I have libstdc++.so.6.0.9, 5.0.7, and 6
[13:12] <locke> can I link one of those to the version it wants somehow?
[13:12] <arvind_k> locke, you will need to install the ones it asks for
[13:13] <bringatowel> alraune, no, but check out http://www.howtoforge.com/truecrypt-with-gui-on-ubuntu-7.10 if you are having trouble. but id recommend using dm-crypt and luks, or encfs
[13:13] <locke> arvind_k, how can I do so?
[13:13] <Miksag1> Mechdave: I'm still here (just letting you know :) )
[13:13] <havocstorm> Mechdave, newk, thanks for the help
[13:13] <arvind_k> locke, i wasnt here so can i know what all do you need
[13:13] <bobthepurple> hello, I'm having a problem with my x61 tablet pc. when I rotate the screen while using desktop effects it will not refresh, or even allow me access to the screen unless I force the session to quit and log on again
[13:13] <havocstorm> Mechdave, newk, all I needed was a restart
[13:13] <alraune> Truecrypt: when setting up a container under xp, ubuntu can read,   BUT set up with ubuntu , XP can't read
[13:13] <Miksag1> wtf? nickservs odd with my nick..
[13:13] <bobthepurple> it's not just with desktop effects either, xrandr does the same
[13:14] <newk> havocstorm: good ya got it sorted
[13:14] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, what video card?
[13:14] <alraune> bringatowel : using encfs, but want to share external drives with ubuntu and xp
[13:14] <newk> has anyone got compiz plugins lik atlantis2 and snow effect workin?
[13:14] <FTB> Hmm?
[13:14] <locke> arvind_k, I'm trying to use a plugin with epsxe (PS1 emulator) because since I enabled hardware accel I lost sound, and I'm trying to use a different sound plugin, but since I put the plugin in the dir, it crashes when I try to use it
[13:14] <spider> quelqu'un parle français ici
[13:14] <ndf> hi guys... does anyone here know if there's some sort of alsa eq i can get at? or will i have to download some sort of sound manager
[13:14] <miksag1> XD.. no wonder, this is a mirror..
[13:14] <havocstorm> newk, is there a program similar to onenote on ubuntu
[13:14] <bobthepurple> intel 950 or 850 chipset as far as I know
[13:15] <locke> arvind_k, basically, I think I just need to install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 somehow
[13:15] <bazhang> !fr | spider
[13:15] <spider> quelqu'un parle français ici
[13:15] <bobthepurple> je parle francais un peut
[13:15] <locke> I'm on google and ubuntuforums right now as well
[13:15] <legend2440> jhesketh_: http://www.linux.com/articles/46621
[13:15] <newk> havocstorm: im not familar wit onenote but from a quick google its just a nottakin app is it ?
[13:15] <ronin12345> !list
[13:16] <havocstorm> newk, yeah
[13:16] <bringatowel> alraune, hmm maybe check out freeotfe.org or boot from ubuntu livecd on windows systems
[13:16] <locke> I'm installing apt-file now to see if I can find it
[13:17] <newk> havocstorm: im not sure i not a big note taker, but try applications-> accessories-> tomboy notes
[13:17] <jhesketh_> legend2440: Thanks. It's a little too manual for my use case, but that is rather interesting to know. I may look at implementing something along those lines if I can't find anything else suitable
[13:17] <havocstorm> well, I'm off. See you everyone
[13:17] <havocstorm> thanks for all the help newk, Mechdave
[13:17] <bobthepurple> i've been reading both the ubuntu and compiz forums to no avail, no-one seem to have the same problem, or mayb just describe it the same way
[13:18] <locke> apt-file isnt very verbose with what its doing during update is it?
[13:18] <vin_> hi all im a bit haveing trouble seting up my partitions any  help would be gratly appreciated
[13:18] <bobthepurple> vin_ what problems

[13:20] <alraune> bringatowel :  FreeOTFE looks nice, do you know in which country it's developed ?
[13:21] <bringatowel> Lusule, hehe good to hear :D
[13:22] <bobthepurple> does anyone know of the problem I'm having?when I rotate the screen while using desktop effects or xrandr it will not refresh, or even allow me access to the screen unless I force the session to quit and log on again
[13:22] <bringatowel> alraune, maybe run truecrypt on windows, and encfs and truecrypt on ubuntu. no idea about the country :/
[13:22] <locke> gah, cant find libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 on packages.ubuntu.com
[13:22] <violet> Genesis

[13:23] <bobthepurple> restricted drivers are enabled but are only running the driver for my virtual machine
[13:23] <alraune> bringatowel : its strange , that i can't acces a truecrypt-container done in ubuntu from windows, so always have to create them on a win machine
[13:24] <locke> oh, i think i found it
[13:24] <Alien15> Hui
[13:24] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, are drivers for your video card shown as available? might want to try installing envyng and -gtk
[13:24] <bringatowel> !envyng | bobthepurple
[13:25] <bobthepurple> bringatowel the drivers are shown as available, what does envyng do?
[13:25] <Alien15> Can help me someonei need components for a good gamer PC??????
[13:25] <levander> envy is that thing that installs the nvidia driver, right?
[13:25] <locke> YESSS got it
[13:25] <JuzzyD> Oh man, I hope someone can help me out here.
[13:25] <bringatowel> alraune, it might not be practical, but also you could use QEMU to run a virtual linux inside windows, or vice versa
[13:26] <miksag1> Mechdave: hey, I've got it worked out.. although, I need to add it for each user
[13:26] <indra> can anybody reason why sould i build custom kernel
[13:26] <JuzzyD> I have this new mp3 player. One of those iPod touch look alikes that are all the rage all over ebay.

[13:26] <JuzzyD> Of course I cant run the windows software to convert video files that came with it, so Im trying to copy as many settings as I can from the supplied demo avi that plays on there, and man am I failing badly.
[13:27] <vin_> brb
[13:27] <Alien15> juhu
[13:27] <JuzzyD> I really don't want to run windows just to convert videos :(
[13:27] <levander> yakobmatrix: install the mailx or mailutils package, then use the 'mail' command.  You have to have the postfix package installed to (postfix is the program that handles delivering and receiving mail behind the scenes, the 'mail' command just talks to postfix).
[13:27] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: what format do you need to convert from?
[13:28] <alraune> encrypt usb drive on win machine, so then i can access from both systems, would have been great to have known before (copying...35 min)

[13:28] <Illuzionz> Hello all, i have a question about the game Enemy Territory, when i start the game, i dont have any sound. My sound works for audio and online videos, but not in ET, any ideas?
[13:28] <indra> or using mutt
[13:28] <JuzzyD> Well, it's some sort of avi file, in the properties it says xvid.
[13:28] <indra> mutt is very good mail client
[13:28] <sehej> I had a dual-monitor setup working (ATI card) with the xorg-driver-fglrx installed and made the mistake of opening the ATI control panel.. I deactivated my 2nd monitor and now I can't get it working again. I even reinstalled the drivers completely and restored the exact xorg.conf that was working previously.. any ideas?
[13:28] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: rather, have you tried opening it in vlc?
[13:29] <yakobmatrix> levander: I am a bit confuse, how can I configure it? is there any link that I can followed
[13:29] <montamer> how can i enable support for sata and hda in kernel compilation??? (which options do i have to enable)
[13:29] <Illuzionz> Hello all, i have a question about the game Enemy Territory, when i start the game, i dont have any sound. My sound works for audio and online videos, but not in ET, any ideas?
[13:29] <JuzzyD> Sorry, I somehow left.
[13:29] <bobthepurple> bringatowel i've got -gtk, my graphics card isn't ati or nvidea, it's intel, so would envyng work?
[13:29] <ndf> hi guys... does anyone here know if there's some sort of alsa eq i can get at? or will i have to download some sort of sound manager
[13:29] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: have you tried opening it in vlc? 90% of the time, videos will just play.
[13:30] <locke> how can I make a libSDL.so that links to libSDL-1.2.so.0
[13:31] <sehej> any ideas on my problem (above, second monitor stopped working after messing with ATI catalyst control panel)?
[13:31] <bobthepurple> sehej try reinstalling catalyst?
[13:31] <JuzzyD> _jdd_ The demo file opens fine with mplayer, and I can create a file that I can't tell the difference between
[13:32] <JuzzyD> by encoding with mencoder, but it won't play on the mp4 player.
[13:32] <_jdd_> ohhhh.
[13:32] <LimCore> hello
[13:32] <JuzzyD> Is there some sort of app that can give me all the finicky details about an avi file?
[13:32] <LimCore> why the f- ubuntu starts kmail in background without asking me?
[13:32] <sehej> bobthepurple: I reinstalled xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control (with no success), anything else?
[13:33] <alraune> JuzzyD: did you try vlc _jdd) ?
[13:33] <LimCore> JuzzyD: partially: file, mplayer
[13:33] <Mechdave> Whoa... my BASH is sooooo rusty
[13:33] <sehej> bobthepurple: oh, and restored my old xorg.conf that was working
[13:33] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: will the mp4 player _only_ play mp4s?
[13:33] <bobthepurple> sehej bugger, have you updated your graphics driver to the newest?
[13:34] <alraune> LimCore:are u using kmail ?
[13:34] <KoolD> Hey all,tried to play Nexuiz with a joypad then started getting a problem  The game just rotates... It works well if i disable joypad but the prob starts when i join it.. (the joypad works on windows)
[13:34] <JuzzyD> Nope, it's playing an avi file, that when I go into properties claims to be an xvid file
[13:34] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/08/30/ipod-video-howto
[13:34] <sehej> bobthepurple: well, i'm just using aptitude so I should get the newest, or the same as I had previously anyways
[13:34] <LimCore> alraune: yes
[13:34] <sehej> only installed it a few weeks ago
[13:34] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, oops it seems not, has anyone on ubuntuforums.org posted about the drivers for your card?
[13:34] <JuzzyD> But it must be some weird variation, because it won't play my xvid files!
[13:34] <VagaStorm> I instaled ubuntu latest, and when I booted it told me it whanted ati drivers, since I ahve an ati card, but when I boot back up my screen just says "out of ramge"
[13:35]  * LimCore bitchslaps someone for making applications start silently and connect to inet without question... what is this, windows?
[13:35] <sidewalk> how do i edit pdf files in Ubuntu?
[13:35] <alraune> could install BUM, Boot up manager, to see where/why it's started
[13:35] <bobthepurple> bringatowel no one on ubuntuforums seems to be having the same problem, I've tried updating drivers, full reinstall, full wipe and reinstall... I still get the same problem
[13:35] <alraune> LimCore: could install BUM, Boot up manager, to see where/why it's started
[13:35] <_jdd_> also, what make and model is the mp4 player
[13:35] <bringatowel> KoolD, see if you can calibrate the pad in system>pref>mouse or something
[13:35] <sehej> catalyst control center must leave some crap behind even after removing fglrx-control and xorg-driver-fglrx.. any takers on what that might be?
[13:35] <LimCore> alraune: I would guess it is started by kde probably
[13:36] <modoc> Is there a way to edit the sudoers file without using sudo or mounting with a LiveCD?  I have a parse error in my sudoers file.
[13:36] <Lusule> on a lighter subject:  which is the best browser to use?  I default to firefox but I've heard good things about opera...
[13:36] <alraune> LimCore: maybe configured to fetch mail automatically ?
[13:36] <bobthepurple> sehej can't tell you why, have you checked the forums/
[13:37] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, hmm so other people with the same card have no problems?
[13:37] <BoltClock> Lusule: personally i dont like opera on linux. not even 9.51. firefox just feels more like a browser to me for some reason.
[13:37] <LimCore> alraune: well yes, but I didnt configure kmail (gui application) to START without asking me
[13:37] <BoltClock> Lusule: but it is amazing on windoze
[13:37] <BoltClock> though of course i still use firefox
[13:37] <bobthepurple> bringatowel there are bug reports about the problem but no concrete fixes
[13:38] <bringatowel> modoc, try hitting esc at boot loader, and choose recovery console or something
[13:38] <bobthepurple> bringatowel and the bug reports aren't for the x61, they're for all sorts of machines including x series and others
[13:38] <fo2sh> hi guys i've downloaded firefox 3 on ubuntu gutsy via synaptic package manager and its to restart firefox, i did so but still launching the old version!!!!! thanks in advance
[13:38] <``Cube> does anyone use ubuntu on an eee pc?
[13:38] <alraune> LimCore:start at bootup ? or just any random time?
[13:38] <crm56> hi i want to mute the start-up sound for all users. How can i do it?
[13:38] <bringatowel> BoltClock, Opera is pretty nice imho, its faster than FF in a few cases, but still FF3 is my fave
[13:39] <BoltClock> bringatowel: yup, opera is blazingly fast
[13:39] <Pici> LimCore: I'm pretty sure KDE saves sessions by default
[13:39] <alraune> Lusule : pm
[13:39] <bringatowel> fo2sh, might try rebooting
[13:39] <seisen> it does Pici
[13:39] <BoltClock> firefox still beats everything else in terms of the feel of a browser
[13:39] <bobthepurple> crm56 turn off the start up sound in the preferences menu
[13:39] <BoltClock> bringatowel: plus its free software :)
[13:40] <fo2sh> i rebooted but the same problem :(
[13:40] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, yikes sounds frustrating, sorry not really sure what else to suggest, maybe it is an issue with the monitor (screen) driver?
[13:40] <Smegzor> How do I fix this sound problem?  I just used Audacity and now all sounds my computer makes sound like chipmunks.  How do I restart my sound daemon?
[13:40] <ocr> I have problems upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 remote server. It seg faults on upgrade (http://pastie.org/233667) with 51 not fully installed packages. I have tried the usual (apt-get -f install/remove, dpkg --force-all -i /var/.../pkg.deb/-r groff-base, aptitude self-upgrade, etc...) suggestions?
[13:40] <ocr> no iLOM on the server, so cannot update remotely..
[13:40] <crm56> bobthepurple i want do it for all the users
[13:40] <negge> Smegzor: you mean the sound sounds distorted?
[13:40] <LimCore> Pici: I close kmail before I quit kde
[13:40] <bobthepurple> bringatowel that's possible except how would I fix that?
[13:40] <Smegzor> really sped up.
[13:40] <bobthepurple> crm56 do it for each user
[13:41] <crm56> it is too much time
[13:41] <JuzzyD> Alright, different approach. If I want some more details about an avi file than what I see when I right click -> properties, how would I go about it?
[13:41] <crm56> and i dont want use change the pass for each user\
[13:41] <ocr> I imagine its a libc/kernel issue, but I can't even install a newer kernel due to the failed installed packages (current kernel: 2.6.19-4-server)
[13:41] <neiliob1973> still no one knows about HP printer problems?
[13:41] <Smegzor> i'm not talking about the output from audacity either.  this affects my whole system after using audacity.  its a big but I don't know exactly where its coming from.
[13:41] <bringatowel> BoltClock, yup which is nice, but FF has the best plugins, Opera needs to go open source because that can be really important too ;)
[13:42] <Smegzor> er  bug
[13:42] <bobthepurple> crm56 there's an option to mute all system sounds somewhere, give that a shot for root
[13:42] <BoltClock> bringatowel: :)
[13:42] <Ayabara> anyone? my touchpad went loco after I upgraded the bios on my dell laptop, and I need help fixing it.
[13:42] <BoltClock> bringatowel: anyway lets not get offtopic
[13:42] <LimCore> Pici: ubuntu should incode more debuging tools, for users to find out what is going on
[13:42] <ikonia> ocr: why do you think it is a libc/kernel issue, have you changed the version of libc or the kernel from the ubuntu packages versions ?
[13:42] <sidewalk> can anyone recommend an application in Ubuntu for editing PDF files?
[13:42] <LimCore> include
[13:42] <``Cube> does anyone have a eee?
[13:42] <negge> JuzzyD: have you tried tovid?
[13:42] <negge> ``Cube: I do
[13:42] <ikonia> LimCore: you can install debugging tools
[13:42] <bobthepurple> sidewalk define edit
[13:42] <pmpaco> Hello everyone
[13:42] <JuzzyD> Nope, what is tovid?
[13:42] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, check if you can see the model of the screen, and find more info that way, or try to see if there is a more generic driver that would work (just guessing)
[13:42] <sidewalk> bobthepurple: edit text in an existing PDF file
[13:42] <negge> JuzzyD: it's similar to GSpot for Windows
[13:43] <negge> apt-get install tovid should do the trick
[13:43] <negge> JuzzyD: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic296052.html
[13:43] <``Cube> negge: what os?
[13:43] <pmpaco> Does anyone have experience with an Apple Keyboard?
[13:43] <negge> ``Cube: Ubuntu 7.10
[13:43] <bringatowel> sidewalk, check out xpdf or pdfedit it depends on the file
[13:43] <LimCore> ikonia: I ment for the os, not gdb etf
[13:43] <ikonia> LimCore: you can install them
[13:43] <``Cube> negge: how did you install it?
[13:43] <ikonia> LimCore: what tools are you missing ?
[13:44] <bobthepurple> sidewalk xpdf is my tool of choice
[13:44] <LimCore> sidewalk: if there isnt any, try using windows tool in wine
[13:44] <sooli> Hi all!
[13:44] <negge> ``Cube: I made a bootable USB pen and installed it using the alternate CD
[13:44] <LimCore> bobthepurple: it allows actuall editing?
[13:44] <sidewalk> LimCore: which windows tool? ;-)
[13:44] <LimCore> sidewalk: dunno, there must be some
[13:44] <JuzzyD> Thankyou!
[13:44] <wigren> hi all! im trying to set up the computers at work (win 2000, xp) to access my /home via samba. i have samba installed and when i go to places>network i see "mike-laptop" and am able to access my share. but when i go to any of the windows PCs i get the error "the network path was not found"
[13:44] <_jdd_> JuzzyD: I second the recommendation of tovid - i did some work with it about a year ago, it's very easy to use.
[13:44] <bringatowel> sidewalk, windows pdf editor is proprietary adobe product
[13:45] <JuzzyD> That way I should at least be able to compare the file that works with the one that doesn't. See where Im going wrong
[13:45] <bobthepurple> Limcore last time I used it I belive so, I haven't had to edit a pdf without xjournal in a while though
[13:45] <bringatowel> wigren, try to figure out the IP address of the Linux computer, and use that instead of the computer name
[13:46] <puppetmaster> hello Everyone, My ubuntu freezes wile I watching movies or downloading anything
[13:46] <puppetmaster> ?
[13:46] <ocr> ikonia: due to the numerous segfaults :)
[13:46] <pmpaco> Does anyone have experiences with an Apple Keyboard?
[13:46] <ocr> ikonia: no gdb installed so cannot verify the dumps
[13:46] <Smegzor> hmm.  logging out might fix my sound problem.  brb
[13:46] <ikonia> ocr: have you changed the libc and kernel versions at all from the install ?
[13:47] <Lusule> is it possible to get my ubuntu machine to operate on a windows network so i can see other computers in the household?
[13:47] <ikonia> Lusule: totally
[13:47] <ocr> ikonia: not that i know (but the server seems to have some time been upgraded from 7.10)
[13:47] <ikonia> Lusule: samba was meant for that
[13:47] <arvind_khadri> !samba | Lusule
[13:47] <ikonia> ocr: is it just apt thats failing
[13:47] <bringatowel> Lusule, check out PyNeighborhood as well
[13:47] <Lusule> thanks :)
[13:47] <ocr> ikonia: don't know yet, theres not much installed on the server (it's used as dom0)
[13:48] <ikonia> ocr: try a few other things,
[13:48] <ocr> ikonia: but trivial stuff seem to work fine
[13:48] <RootChaos> whats the correct syntax for /etc/network/interfaces to set the NIC to 100Mb full duplex ?
[13:48] <ikonia> ocr: what about ldd, can you run ldd against apt and dpkg ?
[13:48] <Smegzor> yay!  logging off did fix my super sped up sounds problem :D
[13:48] <bobthepurple> sidewalk http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/open-source-linux-pdf-writer.html as well as http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit should be what you want

[13:48] <bringatowel> bobthepurple, community.livejournal.com/xjournal ?
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> puppetmaster, see the system log after rebooting for the cause of freezing
[13:49] <puppetmaster> how do I do that
[13:49] <puppetmaster> ?
[13:49] <bringatowel> yeah pdfedit is good

[13:49] <wigren> bringatowel, i have the ip. should i type it in the address bar. im sorry im bad with windows

[13:50] <phimic> i installed the xen kernel and after that my server does not come up
[13:50] <``Cube> negge: was it easy? just like installing the normal version? also, why don't you have 8.04?
[13:51] <bringatowel> wigren, yep go to start -> run then type the IP, it should load or prompt for username/pass

[13:52] <``Cube> negge: would it work with a usb optical drive?

[13:53] <ocr> how do I force grub to boot a particular kernel? simply smack it at the end of "### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" in grub/menu.lst? :) (sanity check)

[13:53] <LimCore> is there any time set on officially announcing ubuntu as a failed project?
[13:53] <LimCore> since monts important application is unusable totally (recordmydesktop)

[13:54] <negge> LimCore: you call Ubuntu a failure just because some random app sucks?:D

[13:54] <microwaver> frold, you can find it on http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq
[13:54] <LimCore> negge: no, because application that allows you to record how to use ubuntu (cruciall for making tutorials for new users) stoped working, and noone is fixing that (just provide the old version probably)
[13:55] <_jdd_> puppetmaster: logs generally reside in /var/log . you're probably looking for something like "less /var/log/messages"

[13:55] <ikonia> ocr: I've not got a 8.04 server to hand to check this at his moment, but the linking to libc.so.6 to /lib/tls based libraries seems odd

[13:58] <AndrewMohawk> would u say its better then using say slackware for this?
[13:58] <``Cube> alraune: so it's basically better to get a 2gb stick and do it that way?
[13:58] <vanityvertigo> Yeah, you want to download the Alternate Install CD
[13:58] <_jdd_> AndrewMohawk: There isn't an easy way right now as far as I know. I've got a suggesstion at brainstorm ( http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11140/ ) for implementing something like that though (so maybe someday).

[14:07] <ocr> ikonia: no, dist-upgrade was run on install date (2007-10-15, then 2008-07-13, then I tried today)
[14:08] <ikonia> ocr: Hmmm, I'm just not convinced by that library change
[14:08] <ikonia> ocr: I need to get an 8.04 box to check it out
[14:08] <LimCore> Hobbsee: so its fault of driver developers?
[14:08] <m1r> ikonia: hello
[14:08] <JuzzyD> The only difference between the file that works and the one that doesnt is the audio sample rate..
[14:08] <ocr> ikonia: it's not really an important machine, it's not in use, just a blade among hundreds of others, but i don't really want to go to the datacentre and format it :>
[14:09] <ikonia> m1r: hello
[14:09] <JuzzyD> And I can't seem to find a way to change it
[14:09] <marcules> hi ^^
[14:09] <ocr> and theres no mgmt module in that bladecenter :>
[14:09] <Hobbsee> LimCore: so it's the fault of the application itself.  i thought i said to read the page...
[14:09] <ikonia> ocr: it would be interesting to understand why it's happened also
[14:09] <ocr> ikonia: probably some half assed admin who twarted it two days ago, then reported it to me today :>
[14:10] <ocr> shows only root login with ssh-key :>
[14:10] <ocr> so cannot castrate anyone :)
[14:10] <ikonia> ocr: tut tut, root endabled ssh
[14:10] <Hobbsee> LimCore: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=783851
[14:10] <Hobbsee> LimCore: new version has the fix.
[14:10] <CanOfRats> hi all. im having a problem tarrign things.....i navigated to inside a folder and did "tar -cvf * tarredfile.tgz"   but it doest work...syas it cant find tarred.tgz or something. am i using the tar command wrong?

[14:11] <Hobbsee> LimCore: which is in intrepid
[14:11] <CanOfRats> ?
[14:11] <CanOfRats> wat i do wrong?
[14:11] <ikonia> ocr: if you keep it around for a few hours while I sort out this 8.04 box I'd be interested in working it through a little more
[14:11] <gbls> tar cvf tarfilename.tar file1 file2 etc
[14:11] <AMDpenguin> !hammer
[14:11] <AMDpenguin> !hammerfs

[14:14] <alraune> <banisterfiend : vlc is not so comfortable, but has lots of codecs onboard
[14:14] <Hobbsee> Bastaaa: it's the command that you probably wanted to use, instead of what you entered.
[14:14] <vanityvertigo> banisterfiend, there's Exaile that tries to be a GTK based Amarok
[14:14] <Bastaaa> who know any good free shell site
[14:15] <vanityvertigo> Not quite as good though
[14:15] <ikonia> ocr: ok

[14:15] <gbls> hey i got a question about samba. I got it running (i think ) but I cant get my windows box to see it - any ideas?
[14:15] <Lusule> i'm having some problems with msttcorefonts that's causing problems with installing samba - anyone know why/what to do about it?
[14:15] <Bastaaa> who know any good free shell site is my question
[14:15] <vanityvertigo> banisterfiend, I use Exaile or Audacious mainly
[14:15] <banisterfiend> ndf: it's just not as easy to use as what im used to in windows, like media player or winamp
[14:15] <Bastaaa> whoooo Please on my pwt
[14:15] <ndf> it's easier than wmp
[14:16] <ndf> does all te same things
[14:16] <ndf> searching library etc
[14:16] <alraune> JonathanEllis :google for hardwareforum or overclocking
[14:16] <vanityvertigo> banisterfiend, then go for Audacious
[14:16] <Bastaaa> No
[14:16] <vanityvertigo> Very similar to winamp
[14:16] <banisterfiend> vanityvertigo: thanks, can i just aptget it?
[14:16] <vanityvertigo> Yepp
[14:16] <JonathanEllis> alraune: Thanks
[14:16] <bringatowel> gbls, find out what the IP address is of the Linux system, and go to start->run in windows and type //ipaddress

[14:17] <JuzzyD> *sigh* Why is there always some hurdle that prevents me from using ubuntu or any other linux os as my desktop.
[14:17] <bringatowel> JuzzyD, what is the problem?
[14:18] <agentpugsly> http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/385/61me9.jpg  that kinda garble
[14:18] <gbls> bringatowel: nope - it comes up but doesnt show any shared folders - I recently switched from Gnome to KDE - could that have an effect?
[14:18] <Lusule> anyone able to help me with a problem installing msttcorefonts?
[14:18] <JuzzyD> I cant work out how to prep video for my mp4 player. It's a no name brand and the software doesn't run under wine since it apparently requires DX9.
[14:19] <gaelfx> gnomefeak: do you remember what you told me earlier today about compiz?
[14:19] <m1r> JuzzyD: check for Cinelerra or Kino ?
[14:20] <gbls> bringatowel: actually how DO i share out a folder with samba - the gui doesnt seem to do it
[14:20] <bringatowel> gbls, try //user@ip
[14:20] <ndf> bringatowel: you mean //user:pass@ip
[14:21] <legend2440> JuzzyD: WinFf is a frontend for ffmpeg that converts video   http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=29
[14:21] <JuzzyD> Im having a look at them now thanks.
[14:21] <gaelfx> ok, my internet is running at 1/10th what it should and compiz is not the problem, can anyone help me fix this?
[14:21] <bringatowel> ndf, either one, just to make sure it is not logging in as guest user
[14:21] <JuzzyD> My main problem legend2440 is I cant work out what is wrong with the format of the file ive created
[14:22] <gbls> bringatowel: nope that doesnt change the user - I'm pretty certain that it is logging in with a priviledged account
[14:22] <bringatowel> gbls, havent used samba in a while, there should be a shared folders setting somewhere, you can try gsambad to configure it
[14:22] <m1r> JuzzyD: address people who u talking to as u see this is busy chanell and people cant follow you
[14:23] <dasy2k1> !u | m1r
[14:23] <JuzzyD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27473/ Is the output of my test file, and the demo file that came with the player using idvid
[14:23] <bringatowel> gbls, it does change the user, its up to you what access permissions would be best, also try using the windows attach network drive wizard
[14:23] <m1r> dasy2k1: ok
[14:24] <gaelfx> ok, if anyone can see this, could someone please respond?
[14:24] <alraune> quest : is there a special channel for irc-related questions ?

[14:24] <gbls> bringatowel: I just did a smbtree and can see all the folders that i should be able to see so that is working at least - maybe you are right
[14:24] <unavailable> i am responding
[14:25] <trakinas> alraune: but what is your quesntion

[14:25] <Lusule> i'm trying to set up samba so i can share files on the network - i've reached a bit in the guide where it says i need root priviledges, but they're locked... how do i implement the line specified?
[14:26] <bringatowel> gbls, thats good, probably changing from gde to kde would not cause problems, for config there are options you can change
[14:26] <trakinas> Lusule: sudo -s or try with sudo only, without the s
[14:26] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through a static ip and pppoe and my connection is running 1/10 what it should, network tools will not let me configure the connections because it says the interfaces don't exist, can someone please help?

[14:27] <gaelfx> !man
[14:27] <Lusule> it says sudo: //servername/sharename not found
[14:28]  * dasy2k1 thinks the k in gksu comes from GTK
[14:28] <unavailable> lsule try sudo -i  hit enter then do the command
[14:28] <bringatowel> Lusule, what is the command?
[14:29] <Lusule> i think i may have worked out what i'm doing wrong give me a mo
[14:29] <erUSUL> Lusule: gksudo shares-admin
[14:29] <gbls> bringatowel: now it is getting weird I set my smbpasswd and then use the exact same password to login and i get rejected.
[14:29] <trakinas> !gksudo
[14:29] <trakinas> no explanations over gk...
[14:30] <unavailable> whats the sudo switch to setup root# with the env set up for graphical apps?
[14:30] <ikonia> unavailable: gksudo
[14:30] <trakinas> unavailable: gksudo, kdesudo [?].
[14:30] <bringatowel> gbls, try using the add network drive wizard, also remember that smbpasswd is limited to 8 digits i think
[14:30] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through a static ip and pppoe and my connection is running 1/10 what it should, network tools will not let me configure the connections because it says the interfaces don't exist, can someone please help?
[14:30] <unavailable> ikonia gksudo -i?
[14:30] <linuxkrn> alright guys, need some advanced help, posted in forums and no replies in almost a week.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5351153
[14:30] <ikonia> unavailable: no gksudo $command
[14:31] <legend2440> JuzzyD: that is the converted file? for use on an Ipod?
[14:31] <unavailable> ikonia gksudo doesnt give a root prompt then
[14:31] <ikonia> unavailable: it won't
[14:31] <trakinas> gaelfx:   ifconfig and see what it outputs.
[14:31] <ikonia> unavailable: what command do you want to launch ?
[14:31] <unavailable> ikonia ok then ill rephrase the question.  what is the sudo switch that sets up the root prompt with the environment set up for gui?
[14:32] <ikonia> unavailable: there isn't one
[14:32] <unavailable> ikonia its sudo -i  something
[14:32] <ikonia> unavailable: which command do you want to launch
[14:32] <trakinas> brb.
[14:32] <ikonia> unavailable: no - that just gives you a root shell
[14:32] <gaelfx> trakinas: you want a pastebin?
[14:32] <unavailable> ikonia i want a root shell with the environment set up for gui
[14:32] <mooperd> ﻿http://rafb.net/p/rtGElb32.html Im getting this error with apt, does anyone have an Idea how I can fix it?

[14:33] <gbls> bringatowel: 8 digits isnt a problem. - nope same rejection
[14:33] <unavailable> ikonia i just want a root shell with the environment set up for gui
[14:33] <ikonia> unavailable: why ?
[14:33] <unavailable> because i do
[14:33] <Lusule> can someone tell me how i open a file in an editor with root privileges?

[14:33] <dasy2k1> !root | unavailable
[14:33] <ikonia> unavailable: if you explain what you are doing then we can explain how to setup the environment for what you want
[14:33] <bringatowel> Lusule, gksudo gedit filename
[14:34] <Lusule> bringatowel: thanks :)
[14:34] <JuzzyD> legend2440, It's more of an iClone than iPod.
[14:34] <JuzzyD> The touch screen models that are everywhere at the moment.
[14:34] <gaelfx> trakinas: hello?
[14:34] <bringatowel> gbls, idk, restart samba server? might try gsambad to help config
[14:34] <unavailable> i am trying to run the root shell from normal terminal with the environment setup similar to the gksudo command
[14:35] <unavailable> that is all i wish to do.
[14:35] <dasy2k1> unavailable: sudo -i
[14:35] <ikonia> unavailable: but what do you want to launch, as root as the command you launch can determain what environment needs to be set
[14:35] <Lusule> if i'm editing fstab to set up windows networking files, and the file i want to share has a space in it, do i represent that by /part1\part2  ?
[14:35] <unavailable> ikonia so gksudo sets up different environments depending on what command it launches?
[14:35] <gaelfx> trakinas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27478/
[14:35] <gbls> bringatowel: have restarted it - looking in the logs now
[14:36] <dasy2k1> Lusule: part1\ part2, the \ is before the space
[14:36] <minimec> unavailable: 'sudo su' in a terminal, if I understand you right...
[14:36] <legend2440> JuzzyD: and 2.8     .avi is the demo file that came with it? and it plays?
[14:36] <Lusule> dasy2k1 - thanks :)

[14:38] <gbls> bringatowel: brb will google that one
[14:38] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through a static ip and pppoe and my connection is running 1/10 what it should, network tools will not let me configure the connections because it says the interfaces don't exist, can someone please help?

[14:38] <unavailable> ikonia and as i said i am trying to open a root prompt from normal terminal that has the environment setup like gksu
[14:39] <unavailable> how hard is it to understand
[14:39] <ikonia> unavailable: but why ? to launch what
[14:39] <unavailable> what other options are there
[14:39] <unavailable> what is confusing about that
[14:39] <ikonia> unavailable: I understand what your doing but why? what is the end goal ?
[14:39] <ikonia> unavailable: what do you want to launch ?
[14:39] <unavailable> the end goal is to be able to run a root prompt with the environment set up like gksu   that is all
[14:39] <ikonia> unavailable: why ?
[14:40] <unavailable> because i want to
[14:40] <ikonia> unavailable: what is the problem with using gksu
[14:40] <unavailable> So i have a better understanding of the operators
[14:40] <ikonia> unavailable: what operators
[14:40] <ikonia> unavailable: can you give me an example please ?
[14:40] <danielsam> i have a 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[14:40] <unavailable> sudo -i where -i is the operator
[14:41] <ikonia> unavailable: thats nthing to do with graphical login
[14:41] <bitznbytes> whats up
[14:41] <ikonia> unavailable: man sudo will give you the information on the flags
[14:41] <dasy2k1> danielsam: if you check restricted drivers it should allready be there
[14:41] <ikonia> unavailable: why don't you just explain what you "really" want to do
[14:41] <legend2440> JuzzyD: but bankjob doesn't play?  waht happens when you try to play it on iclone?  does it play on computer with vlc or mplayer?
[14:41] <unavailable> ikonia i know ok so the last time i asked this i got a response that told me exactly how to do it and sudo -i was part of it
[14:41] <mkan> is there some configuration file for window placement? I lost a window (it's off the screen) :P
[14:41] <danielsam> dasy2k1: it is but says enable and my wireless led is still orange, and iwconfig is not showing up connections why could be?
[14:41] <JuzzyD> It plays fine with mplayer
[14:42] <ikonia> unavailable: what is the problem with using gksudo $command"
[14:42] <legend2440> JuzzyD: what happens with iclone when you try?
[14:42] <JuzzyD> But on the portable device, it freezes if it's the only video file on there, or skips it and keeps playing 2.8 if both files are there.
[14:43] <unavailable> whats the infactuation with not helping me with my want  i do not wish to run any command, i just want to know how to run the root prompt setup like gksu
[14:43] <legend2440> JuzzyD: what other formats besides avi does the portable play?
[14:43] <JuzzyD> The reading im doing suggests just avi for video.
[14:43] <dasy2k1> danielsam: go to the graphical network settings (in system--> administration) and check that it is not ticked there, then try !networkmanager
[14:43] <ikonia> unavailable: your not meant to, your meant to use gksudo - that is the ubuntu supported method
[14:43] <Slart> unavailable: what happens if you try gksudo bash?
[14:44] <legend2440> JuzzyD: thats very strange. according to idvid both avi's are almost identical
[14:44] <Slart> unavailable: I have no idea how to check if the enviroment is set up correctly though... you'll have to figure that one out for yourself
[14:44] <danielsam> dasy2k1: network setting is not showing up the wireless neither
[14:44] <CroX> I am connected to a VPN and I wish to visit a site through that instead of my usual routing. Can I do that, and how?
[14:45] <JuzzyD> I know, i've been at it for hours trying to work it out. It's gotta be something simple I'm missing.
[14:45] <JuzzyD> It wouldn't be as simple as the sample rate do you think? I can't seem to find the flag to set that particular option
[14:46] <BonezAU> Hi, does anyone have experience in getting an iPod shuffle working in Hardy? I've read some guides, installed GTKPod but can't seem to mount the device. lsusb shows an Apple device connected
[14:46] <unavailable> so if i ran sudo -i -s -H what would happen?
[14:46] <ikonia> unavailable: try it
[14:46] <XChat> hi there
[14:46] <ikonia> unavailable: you want to understand the flags better, read the man page and you can understant what -i -s and -H do
[14:46] <JuzzyD> Maybe it's something to do with setting the -frames flag. That seems to be preventing a thumbnail being displayed.
[14:46] <danielsam> dasy2k1: ?
[14:46] <ikonia> unavailable: then if your confdent it won't cause damage, run the command and try it
[14:47] <dasy2k1> danielsam: not sure then
[14:47] <mkan> is there any configuration file for window placement? I lost a window (it's off the screen) and i can't get to move it
[14:47] <XChat> I'm using GIMP 2.4.5 and im trying to use a script-fu... but I cant find the script-fu section, the tutorial's I've seen are all with older versions of GIMP. Can anyone helpme?
[14:47] <ikonia> XChat: for pure gimp support #gimp is your best bet
[14:48] <danielsam> dasy2k1: it is but says enable and my wireless led is still orange, and iwconfig is not showing up connections why could be
[14:48] <danielsam> hi the restricted drivers are not installing my wireless canyone help

[14:48] <BonezAU> danielsam, have you tried using ndiswrapper? i'm not sure if your card is supported natively on linux. have you googled the model number and had a look?
[14:49] <danielsam> BonezAU: not really is my first time i have been reading a little
[14:49] <Julian_h> can anyone suggest a good usb wlan plug? which works out of the box with every encryption on ubuntu?
[14:49] <bantu> Hello. What could be the reason for resolving DNS names via dig but not resolving them automatically (e.g. when using ping).
[14:49] <BonezAU> danielsam, what is the brand and model of the PCI wlan adapter?
[14:50] <Sylphid|work> bantu, are you specifying a DNS server in your dig command?
[14:50] <danielsam> BonezAU: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[14:50] <bantu> Sylphid|work: No
[14:50] <agentpugsly> after i chroot to another machine how do i activate it?
[14:50] <cybercam> h guys
[14:50] <ikonia> agentpugsly: what do you mean chroot to another machine
[14:50] <BonezAU> danielsam, are you running windows on your system as well? I am presuming this is a laptop... if you are running windows - what does it show up as in device manager? The Atheros is simply the chipset, not the actual brand of the device
[14:51] <ikonia> agentpugsly: if your on a machine and you chroot to another install, it can't be running because your on the machine your chrooting from
[14:51] <BonezAU> danielsam, if it's a laptop, what brand and model is it?
[14:51] <agentpugsly> it's an image for a diskless machine
[14:51] <danielsam> BonezAU:  i dont, the laptop is a hp pavilion dv9000
[14:51] <unavailable> Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't. For a lot of applications, you can run them the improper way—using sudo for graphical applications and see no adverse side effects
[14:51] <agentpugsly> linuxMCE
[14:51] <Sylphid|work> bantu, what is in /etc/resolv.conf
[14:51] <unavailable> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[14:51] <ikonia> unavailable: why won't you use gksudo which causes no problems ?
[14:52] <unavailable> gksudo causes no problems?
[14:52] <bantu> Sylphid|work: Contains a search string and my dns server.
[14:52] <gatekeeper__> hey guys, in which file gnome keeps menu settings?
[14:52] <IdleOne> unavailable, not see adverse affects does not mean that there aren't any
[14:52] <ikonia> unavailable: no, thats what it's meant for
[14:52] <BonezAU> danielsam, one min, im looking some info up for you
[14:52] <gatekeeper__> i have about 10 users and i want all of them to have same menu's
[14:52] <gatekeeper__> and options
[14:52] <gatekeeper__> ?
[14:52] <gatekeeper__> thx for help
[14:52] <danielsam> BonezAU: thanks
[14:52] <cybercam> hi.......i'm new 2  irc
[14:53] <unavailable> ikonia and what is the difference between gksudo and sudo -i
[14:53] <IdleOne> welcome cybercam
[14:53] <dasy2k1> !welcome | cybercam
[14:53] <ikonia> cybercam: welcome, you'll find it easier to chat in clear english such as "I'm new to irc" rather than I'm new 2 irc"
[14:53] <BonezAU> danielsam, is it a dv9000 CTO, dv9000ea, dv9000t CTO or a dv9000z CTO. HP has so many models, it's confusing. You might have to look on the bottom to get the exact model number
[14:53] <Sylphid|work> bantu, does an nslookup fail?
[14:53] <krang> Hey all, what do I need to install to be able to run GRE tunnels? when I use the "ip tunnel" command, i get an ioctl error
[14:53] <macrobad> gatekeeper__: run 'locate desktop'
[14:53] <unavailable> example  If you launch Firefox with the command gksudo firefox, it uses root's Firefox configuration file.
[14:53] <ikonia> unavailable: bottom line is one's linked graphicly
[14:53] <trakinas> ikonia: haha! those kids...
[14:54] <ikonia> trakinas: ;)
[14:54] <Xazzza1> testing
[14:54] <unavailable> But if you launch Firefox with the command sudo firefox, it runs with root privileges but uses the user's configuration file (in this case, you can see the homepage and theme are different)
[14:54] <ikonia> Xazzza1: worked
[14:54] <trakinas> Xazzza1: ?
[14:54] <danielsam> dv9700
[14:54] <unavailable> so whats the difference between gksudo and sudo -i
[14:54] <bantu> Sylphid|work: No, it's working. :-)
[14:55] <Shane-S> whats the server channl?
[14:55] <trakinas> unavailable: sudo -i you will involke a command with root privileges.
[14:55] <legend2440> JuzzyD: are you using mencoder? the sample rate can be set wit   mencoder -srate 44100
[14:55] <Sylphid|work> bantu, i dont see any reason why a ping would fail to resolve dns then
[14:55] <macrobad> gatekeeper__: Menus are .desktop files, but I don't remember exactly all their locations. Perhaps, pay attention to xdg folder.
[14:55] <BonezAU> danielsam, again, they havea dv9700 CTO, dv9700t or a dv9700z. Is there any more info on it?
[14:55] <trakinas> Shane-S: i beg your pardon?
[14:55] <ikonia> Sylphid|work: depends on the nsswitch.conf preference
[14:55] <Sylphid|work> bantu, try running a tcpdump -nn port 53   durring a ping
[14:56] <gatekeeper__> okey macrobad, thanks
[14:56] <danielsam> BonezAU: nope
[14:56] <Shane-S> isnt there like #ubunut-server
[14:56] <ikonia> Shane-S: sure is
[14:56] <CK-TECH> anyone can help ? after i set dual monitor and tv my menu delay become slow , how to fix it ?
[14:56] <BonezAU> danielsam, do you have access to a Windows PC?
[14:56] <IdleOne> Shane-S, yes
[14:56] <trakinas> Shane-S: #ubuntu-server =]
[14:56] <Shane-S> thanks
[14:56] <fantomas> Hi all. I have problem with installing Ububtu 8.04 from live cd - there is no option to use LVM. Or is it by default?
[14:56] <danielsam> BonezAU: nope
[14:56] <IdleOne> fantomas, default
[14:57] <dasy2k1> !lvm | fantomas
[14:57] <krang> Ok, so if I want to add the ip_gre kernel module to ubuntu JeOS, how would I go about doing it?
[14:57] <fantomas> IdleOne: t.y. :)
[14:57] <unavailable> reading this page  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo  if im correct, gksudo just gives the application that you are running root's config whereas sudo uses the users config.   so again, whats the difference between gksu and sudo -i
[14:57] <dasy2k1> unavailable: gksu id graphical sudo is cammandline
[14:57] <fantomas> dasy2k1: why do I need these links?
[14:58] <IdleOne> unavailable, it is just safer to use gksudo with GUI apps . use what you like and when things break ( and I hope they don't ) then you can ask for help on how to fix them
[14:58] <dasy2k1> fantomas: they may help with using LVM
[14:58] <JuzzyD> thanks legend2440 I'll give it a shot
[14:58] <CK-TECH> anyone can help ? after i set dual monitor and tv my menu delay become slow , how to fix it ?
[14:59] <macrobad> gatekeeper__: No problem. Btw, they are in /usr/share/applications on my machine
[14:59] <trakinas> unavailable: "The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. The command name argument given to the shell begins with a `-' to tell the shell to run as a login shell. sudo attempts to change to that user's home directory before running the shell. It also initializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged,...
[14:59] <trakinas> ...setting HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and unsetting all other environment variables. Note that because the shell to use is determined before the sudoers file is parsed, a runas_default setting in sudoers will specify the user to run the shell as but will not affect which shell is actually run"
[14:59] <trakinas> ops! chatzilla auto-split.
[14:59] <anabolix> when using CLI, after using the command 'ls', all the files and directories are highlighted as if i dragged my mouse over the text to highlight it... except spaces are not highlighted and intact
[15:00] <anabolix> any know how to fix this to make it not highlighted?
[15:00] <BonezAU> danielsam, follow this guide and let me know how it goes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766169
[15:00] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through a static ip and pppoe and my connection is running 1/10 what it should, network tools will not let me configure the connections because it says the interfaces don't exist, can someone please help?
[15:00] <Shane-S> does Ubuntu have any command I can run in the CLI to check hardware?
[15:00] <BonezAU> danielsam, it *should* work
[15:00] <dasy2k1> Shane-S:  lspci is a good start
[15:00] <Shane-S> thanks
[15:00] <kyncani> anabolix: ls is aliased to ls --color=auto i think
[15:01] <macrobad> Shane-S: lshw or lsdmi, if lspci with lsusb is not enough :)
[15:01] <danielsam> thanks BonezAU  one more thing how do I disable the system beep sound?
[15:01] <Shane-S> ohh I should rephrase, to diagnose hardware for failure, IE memory, HD, CPU
[15:01] <BonezAU> danielsam, that one I am not sure about, try googling for "ubuntu hardy disable system beep" i'm sure it will return lots of hits
[15:01] <anabolix> kyncani, so how do i fix it?
[15:01] <bantu> Sylphid|work: Thank you. Will look into it, later.
[15:01] <BonezAU> danielsam, is your sound card working?
[15:02] <fantomas> Why mini.iso installed detects IDE hdd as /dev/sdb? I installed to it and never could boot from it after all
[15:02] <unavailable> trakinas so sudo -i runs root prompt with the environment set up for root.
[15:02] <kyncani> anabolix: if you run /bin/ls instead of ls, does it give you what you want ?
[15:02] <gaelfx> danielsam: Preferences->Sound
[15:02] <gbls> bringatowel: thanks for all your help - still havent solved it but i am in the right direction now cheers
[15:02] <trakinas> unavailable: :]
[15:02] <BonezAU> danielsam, one more thing that the link i just sent you fails to tell you, when you get to the "install ndiswrapper" step, make sure you install both the "ndiswrapper" and "ndisgtk" packages
[15:02] <unavailable> then whats the difference?
[15:02] <dasy2k1> Shane-S: you can try booting into memtest64 to check memory (takes several hours)
[15:02] <th0r> Shane-S, there is also hwinfo
[15:03] <Shane-S> alright thanks
[15:03] <gaelfx> danielsam: that's where you disable the system beep
[15:03] <fantomas> Does anybody know how to make Ubuntu mini.iso installer to handle IDE HDDs like traditional IDE drives with //dev/hd* naming?
[15:03] <BonezAU> danielsam, just as a bit of a background info - ndiswrapper is basically a piece of software that lets you run networking hardware on Linux using Windows drivers. Not all NIC's/WLAN cards are natively supported by linux, so it helps to use the windows drivers in a 'wrapper' - hope that's not too confusing
[15:04] <unavailable> ok I'll fulfill your fantasy....    say i wanted to run a game (lets even go further and say its a game installed on wine) from root prompt without doing gksudo...  i would want to use sudo -i <other switch??>
[15:04] <gaelfx> I connect to the net through a static ip and pppoe and my connection is running 1/10 what it should, network tools will not let me configure the connections because it says the interfaces don't exist, can someone please help?
[15:05] <m11> unavailable: never run wine as root
[15:05] <TuxOtaku> has anyone here ever used cacti?
[15:05] <kyncani> fantomas: ide drives are now named sd* since linux kernel has been using libata i think
[15:05] <TuxOtaku> I just installed it on hardy
[15:05] <unavailable> m11 ok then forget the wine part.  say i wanted to run a game as root without doing the gksudo thing
[15:05] <minimec> ikonia: by the way... THX I learned something about 'sudo su' and 'sudo -i' ;)
[15:05] <TuxOtaku> but I'm having trouble installing plugins for it
[15:05] <rocko> java does not support 64bit on ubuntu ?
[15:05] <m11> unavailable: games aint meant to be run as root either
[15:05] <IdleOne> !java64
[15:06] <JuzzyD> Incredible, apart from Video bit rate and length. The files are identical now. Yet only one plays.
[15:06] <JuzzyD> That is inexplicable.
[15:06] <rocko> but don't you have to install 32bit firefox ?
[15:06] <unavailable> ok fine then        say i need to run google earth as root  without using gksudo
[15:06] <gaelfx> what's the normal /dev address for a webcam?
[15:06] <m11> unavailable: again is not meant to be run as root
[15:07] <th0r> gaelfx, /dev/video
[15:07] <rocko> /dev/video0
[15:07] <Slart> unavailable: why don't you want to use gksudo?
[15:07] <legend2440> JuzzyD: you changed the sample rate?
[15:07] <DRMacIver> The component chooser seems to be missing from the KDE Control center in the provided version of KDE on Ubuntu (at least, the guys in #kde are declaring "Not our fault" when I asked about why it's not there). Why, and what's the recommended way of setting browser preferences under KDE then?
[15:07] <gaelfx> th0r: thanks
[15:08] <anabolix> kyncani, sorry for being slow, didnt realize you replied, yes /bin/ls fixed it
[15:08] <danielsam> who was helping me?
[15:08] <rocko> IdleOne:  but don't you have to install 32bit firefox ?
[15:08] <anabolix> kyncani, how do i "un-alias" it
[15:08] <gaelfx> ok, so next question is why doesn't my webcam work all the time when I plug it in?
[15:08] <unavailable> ok then...    what say i wanted to run Gparted as root without using gksudo
[15:08] <kyncani> anabolix: then what you want is to remove the alias for ls. So either "unalias ls" or "unalias -a" in ~/.bashrc
[15:09] <IdleOne> rocko, I don't know. read the link ubottu GAVE
[15:09] <IdleOne> oops
[15:09] <[PQ3]RailWolf^Wo> quit
[15:09] <danielsam> who was helping me?
[15:09] <dasy2k1> unavailable: type sudo gparted form a commandline
[15:09] <JuzzyD> I most certainly did. Without having an application to pull out even more detailed information about the two files, I think this is the end of the road.
[15:09] <gaelfx> danielsam: depends which problem you're talking about
[15:09] <m11> unavailable: sudo -i + pass , gparted
[15:09] <dasy2k1> unavailable: or you could use kdesu gparted
[15:09] <danielsam> the wireless one
[15:09] <JuzzyD> Maybe I'll nip up to Sydney and see if the pope can help me out.
[15:09] <danielsam> i forgot the nickname
[15:09] <unavailable> m11 so sudo -i is the same as gksudo
[15:10] <gaelfx> why doesn't my webcam work all the time when I plug it in? it works sometimes, but not every time
[15:10] <BonezAU> Hi, does anyone have experience in getting an iPod shuffle working in Hardy? I've read some guides, installed GTKPod but can't seem to mount the device. lsusb shows an Apple device connected
[15:10] <danielsam> BonezAU: werey ou helping me right?
[15:10] <kyncani> gaelfx: you could start taking a look at dmesg and /var/log/messages, and google for any error message you see in there
[15:10] <BonezAU> danielsam, yes
[15:10] <m11> unavailable: both give u root privileges ,so i think yes
[15:10] <krang> Can I take .o and .so module files from a full fledged ubuntu and just drop them into JeOS? I need the ip_gre module, and wonder if I need to go to the trouble of compiling it
[15:11] <danielsam> BonezAU: that just crashed my system needed to reboot
[15:11] <danielsam> after sudo ndisgtk
[15:11] <red22> how can i get directory sort order to take non-alphanum characters into account pls?
[15:11] <aViN187> got somebody a how to or something else, i need to update php 5.1.2 to 5.1.3
[15:11] <danielsam> and select the .inf
[15:11] <Slart> unavailable: why not check out the source if you really want to know what gksudo does that sudo doesn't
[15:11] <gaelfx> kyncani: thanks, but no, my logs are huge clusters of bluetooth connects
[15:11] <gaelfx> kyncani: my mouse likes to connect a few times every second or so
[15:12] <kyncani> gaelfx: remove the mouse when looking at the logs then
[15:12] <anabolix> kyncani, im in ~/.bashrc what do i edit exactly?
[15:12] <trakinas> gaelfx: btw, are you using firestarter or other firewall?
[15:12] <kyncani> anabolix: then what you want is to remove the alias for ls. So either "unalias ls" or "unalias -a" in ~/.bashrc
[15:12] <unavailable> i give up guess ill learn in unix I and II
[15:12] <vallhalla81> !ripping mp3
[15:12] <vallhalla81> !cd coppy mp3
[15:12] <gaelfx> trakinas absolutely not, I'm behind the great Chinese firewall already, I don't need any more than that
[15:12] <localgod11> how can I get my nvidia 7200 gs working under ubuntu. I have tried envy and restricted drivers with no luck (hardy)
[15:12] <BonezAU> danielsam, yes, ndisgtk does that - did it crash exactly after you added the windows driver?
[15:12] <yamitenshi> hey, I'm back with the same question I had earlier
[15:13] <yamitenshi> hoping someone can help me now
[15:13] <th0r> vallhalla81, check grip
[15:13] <gaelfx> kyncani: the mouse is removed
[15:13] <vallhalla81> can any one advise me on the best way to coppy cd's as mp3?
[15:13] <trakinas> vallhalla81: if you own the cds and are going to rip your songs only for personal usage, you could use grip or sound juice.
[15:13] <vallhalla81> th0r: trakinas: thank you
[15:13] <legend2440> JuzzyD: do you have avidemux installed? its in synaptic. may give more info
[15:13] <danielsam> BonezAU:  yes, and seems it didnt add it
[15:14] <aViN187> !update php
[15:14] <JuzzyD> Of course, the software does have intent checking built in vallhalla81 ;)
[15:14] <yamitenshi> I'm using Hardy Heron, and every time a tooltip shows, or I close a window, whatever has keyboard focus then doesn't respond to the keyboard anymore. Clicking inside the widget doesn't help, I have to click inside another widget first
[15:14] <aViN187> !upgrade php
[15:14] <JuzzyD> Grabbing it now legend2440!
[15:14] <vallhalla81> JuzzyD: wont be any trouble
[15:14] <kyncani> gaelfx: i don't know anything about your specific problem. But i do know that in case of a hardware/driver problem, the first place to look at is always the logs. So you will have to take a look at the logs and google from there.
[15:14] <CroX> Gah! Again, Ubuntu crashes on me. Applications freeze up and no new can be started. I can't even log out using the normal button.
[15:15] <yamitenshi> does anybody know how to solve this problem? keyboard settings are fine, theme preference isn't the problem, and the problem occurs in both GNOME and KDE, with or without Compiz turned on
[15:15] <BonezAU> danielsam, if you go to the System menu and then to Administration, right down the bottom you should see "Windows Wireless Drivers"
[15:15] <aViN187> !php5 upgrade
[15:15] <JuzzyD> Just open the file in avidemux once i get it?
[15:15] <BonezAU> danielsam, open that application, and tell me what you see in the "Currently installed" box
[15:15] <Hideme> Anyone running Ubuntu LTS 64bit under VMware?
[15:15] <Hideme> Anyone running Ubuntu LTS 64bit under VMware? More specifically any issues with driver support and performace?
[15:16] <aViN187> argh, doesn't find anythink about to upgrade php5, someone got some link's ?
[15:16] <aViN187> need to update from php5 5.1.2 to 5.1.3
[15:16] <legend2440> JuzzyD: yes launcher is is in sound and video
[15:16] <fo2sh> i installed XAMPP on ubuntu Gutsy and i wanna chmod the htdocs folder to be editable...how can i do that ? :)
[15:16] <trakinas> aViN187: apt-get install php5?
[15:16] <danielsam> BonezAU:  none
[15:16] <aViN187> doesn't work at all
[15:16] <kyncani> aViN187: yep, 5.2.4 is in hardy
[15:16] <macrobad> aViN187: Why? Isn't the default php shipped with ubuntu of version 5.2.4?
[15:17] <trakinas> fo2sh: why you did that if you can install apache+mysql/postgres+php/perl/python nativaly?
[15:17] <trakinas> !lamp | fo2sh
[15:17] <legend2440> JuzzyD: in avidemux File>properties gives info

[15:17] <aViN187> i got a rootserver with ubuntu, this one is a little bit older
[15:18] <rocko> How to setup samba so i can share files with windows ?
[15:18] <macrobad> binary_: watch your language
[15:18] <trakinas> aViN187: add the needed repositories.
[15:18] <trakinas> !samba | rocko
[15:18] <BonezAU> dandel, try and add it again, but be prepared it might freeze your system
[15:19] <JuzzyD> Interesting.
[15:19] <kyncani> aViN187: then upgrade, or look for backports
[15:19] <JuzzyD> Oh, nevermind.
[15:19] <macrobad> aViN187: According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php5&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all there is no native 5.1.3 version for Ubuntu
[15:20] <JuzzyD> Something about indexes not being up to date when I open the mencoded one.
[15:20] <JuzzyD> I think it has got to do with this -frames flag issue.
[15:20] <macrobad> aViN187: After 5.1.2ubuntu3.10 comes 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.5
[15:21] <aViN187> ok then i want to upgrade to this version, what's the correct way?
[15:21] <legend2440> JuzzyD: yes that happens. you can tell it to reindex but maybe make a copy first
[15:21] <Xazzza1> Hi, im having some probs playing wow on my linux, the game loads but the screen appers white and then crashes a few mins later. anyone have any idea how to fix it?
[15:21] <trakinas> Xazzza1: #wine-hq
[15:21] <trakinas> Xazzza1: or #winehq... never know.
[15:21] <gaelfx> beat me to it trakinas
[15:21] <JuzzyD> Im hoping that's what is causing the skipping/freezing. I guess it makes sense.
[15:22] <kyncani> aViN187: either upgrading the whole distro or using backport is the correct way
[15:22] <trakinas> gaelfx: so, any progress with the network issue?
[15:22] <Xazzza1> Cheers
[15:22] <gaelfx> trakinas: restarted and got the good connection this time, still have no idea what's wrong though
[15:22] <gaelfx> trakinas: just praying that my compy doesn't freeze for a few weeks :D
[15:22] <trakinas> ifconfig and lets compare with the old out put
[15:22] <aViN187> there are some how to's about that? or wiki entries ?
[15:22] <gaelfx> kk
[15:24] <gaelfx> trakinas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27482/ looking the same
[15:24] <kyncani> aViN187: yep, all over the web (plenty).
[15:24] <unavailable> ok new one, say i disabled the draw desktop in nautilus, but i need to see rainlendar.  how would i go about doing this without re-enabling draw desktop (i want to keep my cube wallpapers)
[15:25] <trakinas> gaelfx: it got a different inet address.

[15:25] <trakinas> gaelfx: pppo A: inet addr:10.8.255.171
[15:25] <macrobad> aViN187: Basically, if you don't want to upgrade the distro, but want a package from a newer version, you'd most likely have to compile it by hand.
[15:26] <trakinas> gaelfx: pppo B: inet addr: inet addr:10.8.255.50
[15:26] <unavailable> ok new one, say i disabled the draw desktop in nautilus, but i need to see rainlendar.  how would i go about doing this without re-enabling draw desktop (i want to keep my cube wallpapers)
[15:26] <JaGuaR_> bonjour
[15:26] <gaelfx> yeah, but that's normal for pppoe
[15:27] <red22> how can i make "ls" sort files/directories in the same order as windows?  specifically, i want names that start with "_" to come before any alphabet letters.  anyone know how pls?
[15:27] <JaGuaR_> quelqu'un pourrait il me donner un lien en français pour installer irssi?

[15:27] <localgod11> how can I get my nvidia 7200 gs working under ubuntu. I have tried envy and restricted drivers with no luck (hardy)
[15:27] <unavailable> ok new one, say i disabled the draw desktop in nautilus, but i need to see rainlendar.  how would i go about doing this without re-enabling draw desktop (i want to keep my cube wallpapers)
[15:28] <bibstha> how do i disable the touchpad on my laptop?
[15:28] <bibstha> in ubuntu
[15:28] <trakinas> gaelfx: i was going to guess that some intervals of ip maybe slow... dont know1 and do you really need to connect over pppoe
[15:28] <trakinas> ?
[15:28] <red22> Slart: remember even generally where this setting was?  it would save me a lot of time.  right now "_" is just ignored in the sorting process.
[15:29] <gaelfx> trakinas: yeah, it's pretty much the only way in China
[15:29] <gaelfx> trakinas: they aren't exactly all about diversity over here
[15:29] <Slart> red22: I'm googling =)... something like natural language sorting order.. might have been a setting in bash somewhere.. I'll get back to you when I find it
[15:29] <bibstha> gaelfx: need help with pppoe?
[15:30] <BonezAU> danielsam, how did you go?
[15:30] <red22> Slart: ok ty, i'll be searching too, but >30mins searching with now luck so far...
[15:30] <unavailable> Ii disabled the draw desktop in nautilus, but I need to see rainlendar.  how would i go about doing this without re-enabling draw desktop.  i want to keep my cube wallpapers so the draw desktop needs to be disabled unless there's another way to do that
[15:30] <Xavura> If I do ctrl+alt+f1
[15:30] <Xavura> How do I get out of it after?
[15:30] <fo2sh> sorry guys..i'm back..actually i'm familiar with xampp and i tried b4 to install php,apache,mySQL, manually but i get struggled...so now i have a successful XAMPP installation but i wanna change the permission of the hdocs folder..  :)
[15:30] <Xavura> Like, how do I get back into the GUI?
[15:30] <gaelfx> bibstha: yeah, somewhat, my connection is sometimes great, sometimes abysmal
[15:30] <Xavura> I'm trying to dome some trickery to get my PC working on my TV
[15:31] <gaelfx> bibstha: currently, it's great, but often it's not and I can't figure out why
[15:31] <red22> Xavura: with ctrl+alt+f6 i think. just try all the different F's and you'll find it
[15:31] <kyncani> Xavura: alt+f7
[15:31] <vallhalla81> can anyone help me configure grip to rip cd to mp3 please
[15:31] <Xavura> alt and f7 or ctrl and alt and f7?
[15:31] <kyncani> Xavura: they both work
[15:31] <bibstha> gaelfx: humm pppoe at my place is pretty nice
[15:31] <bibstha> :) u using the pppoeconf right?
[15:32] <gaelfx> bibstha: yeah, had to, the one in man config never works
[15:32] <bibstha> :) yeah,
[15:32] <unavailable> is there a way to show different wallpapers in ubuntu using cube desktop without disabling draw desktop in nautilus?
[15:32] <gaelfx> bibstha: my pppoe connects through static ip, which is probably thanks to the switch that my school has me hooked up through
[15:32] <red22> Xavura: you WILL not break anything that easily.. try buttons and see :)  but, if you must know, it's ctrl+alt+f7
[15:32] <bibstha> i wonder with ubuntu is gonna have a gui config utility, it should be pretty much simple
[15:32] <bibstha> gaelfx: aah its dynamic here
[15:33] <gaelfx> bibstha: and I think that the static ip might be part of the problem
[15:33] <gaelfx> bibstha: yeah, when I was living in my own place, the pppoe was fine
[15:33] <bibstha> gaelfx: could be ip address collision?
[15:33] <gaelfx> bibstha: hmmm...pretty sure it's not, but I have no way of confirming that at the moment
[15:33] <gaelfx> bibstha: any idea how I might find out?
[15:34] <Xavura> Ok let's say I go into xorg.conf and change         Driver          "radeon"
[15:34] <Xavura>  to  vesa
[15:34] <Xavura> Is that going to potentially break anything?
[15:34] <Xavura> I'm going on loose instructions here
[15:34] <bibstha> gaelfx: um i dunno out of my technical knowledge
[15:34] <Xavura> Well, someone might know
[15:34] <gaelfx> bibstha: haha, you and me both, no worries man
[15:34] <JuzzyD> legend2440,  It's some no name brand
[15:34] <Xavura> If I do ctrl+alt+f1 to go into console mode (or whatever), I can see it fine on my TV
[15:35] <Xavura> but when I go back into the GUI the screen goes black
[15:35] <JuzzyD> there's stacks of them on ebay under 2.8" touch screen 4gb
[15:35] <Xavura> So what do I need to do?
[15:35] <gaelfx> bibstha: hey, when you use network tools, does it let you configure your pppo connection?
[15:35] <orangey> hey all.
[15:35] <orangey> which provider do people prefer here for OpenID?
[15:35] <red22> Xavura: ANYTHING you change in that fill can and most likely will (if you don't know exactly what you're doing) break things
[15:35] <bibstha> gaelfx: i dont use the default pppoeconf tool
[15:35] <red22> *file
[15:35] <bibstha> gaelfx: i use the rppoe tool with much better command interface
[15:35] <Xavura> red22: Well I am following instructions from a topic on the forum
[15:35] <gaelfx> bibstha: what do you use?
[15:35] <Xavura> Should I post a link?
[15:35] <bibstha> gaelfx: rpppoe
[15:36] <alraune> Xavura :whats your prob ?
[15:36] <Xavura> Here goes anyway http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=161557&postcount=15
[15:36] <gaelfx> bibstha: ah, is it in the reps?
[15:36] <reind> I have a LCD Tv connected over hdmi. My desktop is larger than the screen (1280x720), so i cant see the menu and taskbar. Is there anyway to resize it to fit?
[15:36] <bibstha> gaelfx: it has a simple gui as well dunno, usually its the only compiled tool in my pc
[15:36] <legend2440> JuzzyD: ok
[15:36] <J-_> Why won't inkscape open eps files? Is there a way to open them with inkscape, or another said vector program?
[15:36] <theflamingpi> k/topic
[15:36] <gaelfx> bibstha: hang on, I'll try to man it
[15:36] <localgod11> how can I get my nvidia 7200 gs working under ubuntu. I have tried envy and restricted drivers with no luck (hardy)
[15:36] <theflamingpi> Sorry.  Typo.
[15:36] <Xavura> alraune: If I press ctrl+alt+f1, then you can see the output on my TV
[15:37] <Xavura> I have a composite out cable on the back of the PC
[15:37] <Xavura> but if I am in the GUI mode
[15:37] <red22> Xavura: just make sure you back up your original file before anything, so you can boot into non-graphical later and restore it.  unfortunately, the only way to learn about that config file is by breaking it a few times.
[15:37] <Xavura> The screen is black and yes, sorry about hitting return, whoops
[15:37] <Xavura> Well I would edit it but
[15:37] <gaelfx> bibstha: so you don't know where it comes from?
[15:37] <Xavura> I don't even know the instructions I am following even have a remote chance of working
[15:38] <bibstha> gaelfx: my isp hosts the tar.gz on its website
[15:38] <bibstha> gaelfx: u want a link?
[15:38] <gaelfx> bibstha: sure, why not?
[15:38] <Slart> red22: ok, found some info.. now to find out what I have changed on my system
[15:38] <Xavura> If I post a link to a short post will someone read it and tell me what they think?
[15:39] <Rudd-O> hey there guys, heavy question: I have 64bit xeon and am running hardy 32 bit.  What do I need to run the 64bit kernel and compiler, but keep the other 32 bit software as it is installed?
[15:39] <bibstha> gaelfx: here u go i found the official website

[15:39] <Xavura> Here's the post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=161557&postcount=15
[15:40] <Xavura> Someone please read it, I want to know if that's actually going to help me get this working
[15:40] <ikonia> Rudd-O: you can't really work like that
[15:40] <IndyGunFreak> Rudd-O: i agree w/ ikonia, id on't think you can do that
[15:40] <ikonia> Rudd-O: you really need to re-install ubuntu with the 64bit version
[15:40] <Rudd-O> ikonia: why?  you can do it in fedora just fine.
[15:40] <red22> Xavura: so on f1 you get output fine right? except you want that to be graphical like in your f7?
[15:40] <Slart> red22: here's some info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=68462
[15:40] <Michael88> hi ppl
[15:40] <Rudd-O> ikonia: I want to avoid reinstallation, I want to run my 32 bit software in compat mode
[15:41] <Xavura> red22: yes
[15:41] <ikonia> Rudd-O: you'll then have to make a compatability or multilib set for 32bit products
[15:41] <Rudd-O> in fedora it's just a matter of installing the right RPMs
[15:41] <ikonia> Rudd-O: it's not in ubuntu
[15:41] <Rudd-O> ikonia: okay, I do not fear the multilib thi... it's not in ubuntu?
[15:41] <Michael88> can anyone help with the client from dyndns??
[15:41] <Rudd-O> really?  no multilib in ubuntu?
[15:41] <J-_> Is there a way to open eps files in inkscape?
[15:41] <unavailable> has anyone found a way to make compiz cube different wallpapers work while also showing the icons in ubuntu ?
[15:41] <ikonia> Rudd-O: not true multilib, there are some base 32bit libs, but thats about it
[15:41] <Xavura> red22: You have any idea how?
[15:41] <red22> Xavura: then you can login to your machine on f1, then start gnome/kde there and at least get it working until it's completely fixed.
[15:42] <Rudd-O> ikonia: I could run with those base 32 bit libs no probs.  I basically need to run zfs in 64 bit because 32 bit is killing me.
[15:42] <edju> Partition table is messed up.  Everything works, but it's ,well, messy.  If I use gparted's "copy" function, which uses dd, to copy the Ubuntu installation from sdb5 to sdb1, will the system boot from sdb1 w/ no problems?
[15:42] <red22> Xavura: i mean working until you can get it working straight from bootup.
[15:42] <ikonia> Rudd-O: the lib64 / lib issue on ubuntu will kill you
[15:42] <Xavura> red22: Wait, how do I start gnome from f1 mode?
[15:42] <th0r> edju, the short answer...no
[15:42] <ikonia> Rudd-O: as your base system is 32bit you'll only be pointing at the 32bit repo's also
[15:42] <ikonia> Rudd-O: you'll be much better off re-installing
[15:43] <fo2sh> Guys i wanna take a backup from my system...is there a software for that? thanks
[15:43] <red22> Slart: thanks, i'm gonna try that and see if it works.  tell ya in 3 mins.
[15:43] <Rudd-O> ikonia: I can't just reinstall that easily on the running system
[15:43] <Xavura> red22: How do I start gnome from f1?
[15:43] <ikonia> Rudd-O: no
[15:43] <Rudd-O> suggestions?
[15:43] <spydon> Does any one know how I can install compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported or if there are any deb somewhere?
[15:44] <ikonia> Rudd-O: re-install with the correct base os
[15:44] <Rudd-O> and how would i run vmware 32 bit or flash in that scenario?
[15:44] <vallhalla81> !compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
[15:44] <Rudd-O> I need multilib
[15:44] <Xavura> spydon: Download Ubuntu Tweak then enable the repository for the dev version of Compiz and it's plug-ins
[15:44] <Xavura> That's what I did
[15:44] <ikonia> Rudd-O: build a 32bit library set
[15:44] <ikonia> Rudd-O: there is some 32bit libraries available for 64bit
[15:44] <spydon> Xavura, okay I will try that, thx
[15:45] <Xavura> ANYONE Know how to to start gnome from err, ctrl+alt+f1 (text only) mode
[15:45] <ikonia> Rudd-O: standard stuff, glibc etc etc, so you should be fine for vmware
[15:45] <Rudd-O> Xavura: startgnome script
[15:45] <Xavura> Rudd-O: Sorry?
[15:45] <Xavura> Would I type that, literally?
[15:45] <Rudd-O> Xavura: yes, as far as I am aware of
[15:45] <Xavura> Can anyone confirm that?
[15:45] <Xavura> I don't want to screw around with things if I'm not sure they are going to work
[15:46] <Xavura> I've already had to reinstall once
[15:46] <gaelfx> bibstha: thanks, I'll give it a go
[15:46] <Rudd-O> okay, if I can run flash in 64 bit and also skype in 64 bit and also vmware in 64 bit, then I think I will consider migrating to ubuntu 64 bit
[15:46] <Rudd-O> Xavura: nothing is going to go bad if you run startgnome from the console
[15:46] <Rudd-O> at the most, if fails, refuses to start, nothing more
[15:46] <Xavura> Rudd-O: lol ok, what about if I edit xorg.conf the display settings
[15:46] <Xavura> will the text only mode still work if I break it?
[15:46] <Rudd-O> Xavura: that is unrelated to the startgnome script
[15:46] <Rudd-O> text only mode never breaks
[15:46] <Xavura> Rudd-O: I know
[15:46] <Xavura> Rudd-O: Ok good
[15:46] <Nailuj> Hi!
[15:47] <vallhalla81> !hi
[15:47] <Rudd-O> and if for some reason your configuration makes ubuntu go bad
[15:47] <Xavura> startgnome script command not found
[15:47] <Rudd-O> there is always the recovery mode, where you will "rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and then "telinit 5"
[15:47] <Xavura> startgnome command not found
[15:47] <Rudd-O> Xavura: hmm
[15:47] <Nailuj> wath is ubuntu channel in spanish ?  (sorry my bad english!)
[15:47] <red22> Xavura: gdm or gnome-session should work
[15:47] <Rudd-O> red22:  he doesn't have a GUI yet, you can't do that
[15:47] <shah> hi wols, r u there?
[15:48] <gaelfx> !es
[15:48] <Nailuj> very thanks, robbie!
[15:49] <unavailable> so the million dollar question.    how do i make nautilus not draw the background but still draw the icons
[15:49] <billenium> Is there a way to split a big 9mb text file into 5 equal in size files?
[15:49] <clusty> i am having some problems with f-stop and with RAW files. when I try to close it down it freezes and compiz tells me to nuke it. anyone else is experiencing this? and where can I file a bug report?
[15:49] <Nailuj> bye!
[15:49] <Slart> billenium: split
[15:49] <Rudd-O> clusty: at the gnome bugzilla or launchpad
[15:49] <Rudd-O> bugs.launchpad.net is probably a good bet
[15:50] <Xavura> I just got a I just want to
[15:50] <clusty> Rudd-O, will check it out
[15:50] <Xavura> I just got a Fatal Server Error*
[15:50] <Rudd-O> you can also find out what the hell f-spot is doing by finding the process ID using ps ax , and then using "strace -p <pidoff-spot>"
[15:50] <Xavura> Server is already registered to display 0
[15:50] <Rudd-O> that would be on a terminal of course
[15:50] <Rudd-O> Xavura
[15:50] <Rudd-O> do this
[15:50] <Xavura> I just want it to show on both displays, like it does in text only mode
[15:50] <Rudd-O> both displays?what do you mean
[15:51] <unavailable> so the million dollar question.    how do i make nautilus not draw the background but still draw the icons
[15:51] <Xavura> I have my monitor that I am using right now
[15:51] <Rudd-O> okay, and?
[15:51] <Xavura> and a component out cable from my PC (well graphics card) to my TV
[15:51] <Xavura> If I am in text-only mode it works, if I am in the GUI it doesn't
[15:51] <Rudd-O> unavailable: start nautilus with --no-desktop.  use the session properties applet in gnome configuration to do that
[15:51] <Xavura> I want it to work for the GUI.
[15:51] <Rudd-O> unavailable: disregard that, I suck cox
[15:51] <unavailable> rofl
[15:51] <clusty> how is the fstop exec called?
[15:51] <Rudd-O> Xavura: oooooh
[15:51] <danielsam> !java
[15:52] <Rudd-O> clusty: very likely it is called mono
[15:52] <headache> After i setup my monitor in applications -> other -> screens and graphics the login screen is not centered
[15:52] <Rudd-O> Xavura: what you want is xinerama, in modern X that output is addressable
[15:52] <clusty> Rudd-O, wait. thought mono is some VC++ equivalent for linux
[15:52] <Rudd-O> the x server treats both screens as part of a single output
[15:52] <Rudd-O> clusty: mono is te quivalent of .net, f-spot is written in mono
[15:53] <unavailable> so the million dollar question.    how do i make nautilus not draw the background but still draw the icons  (not --no-desktop as that wont show icons)
[15:53] <Xavura> Rudd-O: Where do I get this xinerama
[15:53] <Xavura> !xinerama | Xavura
[15:53] <daschl> hey guys, i want to use microsoft IIS without rewrite.. but it displays a white page.. i tracked the problem down to the core.php when it is included after the first Configure:: statement nothing seems to happen?
[15:53] <Rudd-O> Xavura: you do not need to, in the system options menu you can find "screen" or "monitor" and there you can arrange the screens however you like to have them
[15:53] <Xavura> Rudd-O: It says
[15:53] <Rudd-O> xinerama is builtin
[15:53] <Xavura> ...  use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display ...
[15:54] <Rudd-O> Xavura: exactly that
[15:54] <clusty> its f-spot not f-stop. damn tricksters :D
[15:54] <CK-TECH> how to run script on startup ?
[15:54] <Xavura> I don't want them to be one large virtual display, I want them to be totally separate
[15:54] <Xavura> Both a full screen
[15:54] <Avenhawk> hi @ all
[15:54] <Xavura> Just like my monitor is now, I want them both to be like that
[15:54] <Rudd-O> CK-TECH: at which startup point?  user logon? boot?
[15:54] <Rudd-O> OHHHHH
[15:54] <headache> After i setup my monitor in applications -> other -> screens and graphics the login screen is not centered. How can i get the login screen to be centered.
[15:54] <Rudd-O> then you do not want xinerama!
[15:54] <unavailable> so you want dual desktops
[15:54] <Xavura> Rudd-O: :D
[15:54] <spphreak> I'm running ubuntu server 8 in a vmware instance, how do I find out what driver it is using for my nic?
[15:54] <CK-TECH> Rudd-O, boot
[15:54] <fantomas> What is a root password after installation?
[15:54] <Rudd-O> damn, I did that once, but I do not remember how to do it!
[15:54] <Slart> unavailable: regarding your sudo/gksudo question before.. try running gksudo with the --debug switch.. lots of fun info there
[15:54] <Xavura> There is no root password.
[15:54] <Slart> fantomas: there is none
[15:54] <unavailable> ty
[15:55] <Rudd-O> CK-TECH: add the command you want to run to the end of /etc/rc.local
[15:55] <Xavura> Rudd-O: You better remember, pronto! :P
[15:55] <unavailable> !root | dfantomas
[15:55] <Rudd-O> hahahaha
[15:55] <Xavura> I love that
[15:55] <spphreak> hey
[15:55] <spphreak> hehehe
[15:55] <CK-TECH> Rudd-O,  update-rc.d  abc.sh defaults  <----------- this ?
[15:55] <CK-TECH> tried cant
[15:55] <spphreak> once you realize there is no root password, you'll find that it is you that has the password
[15:56] <Rudd-O> Xavura: okay let me see... that is called multihead
[15:56] <Xavura> multihead?
[15:56] <ne2k__> I have an embedded device on which I would like to find out if the ethernet link is up on the NIC. I don't have mii-tool or ethtool compiled for this target -- I am trying to work out if it's possible to do this with /proc somehow. can anyone help?
[15:56] <Xavura> w00t: my man
[15:56] <Rudd-O> CK-TECH: no, update-rc.d is to run initscripts, and abc.sh is most likely not an initscript
[15:56] <mannytu> !sudo
[15:56] <agentpugsly> i installed the driver gspca for an intel cs330 webcam, and it appears to initilize fine from what dmesg is telling me... but when i view the camera it shows a still from when it initilized
[15:56] <Rudd-O> yes, multihead
[15:56] <Slart> !dualhead
[15:56] <Rudd-O> you will probably need to run a special xorg.conf
[15:56] <Xavura> Is it goign to be hard to configure this xorg.conf?
[15:56] <CK-TECH> Rudd-O, then how do it run abc.sh on startup ?
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> dual screens is pretty easy to set up w/ Nvidia.. dont know about ATI
[15:57] <Xavura> I have an ATI
[15:57] <Xavura> The thing is
[15:57] <Rudd-O> X has this concept of displays, which is one per VT (ctrl+alt+f7 is the default VT), and screens, which are SEPARATE sessions that do not communicate with each other, but you can roll the mouse from one screen to another
[15:57] <Rudd-O> CK-TECH: I told you, call abc.sh from /etc/rc.local
[15:57] <Xavura> it just WORKS in text only mode
[15:57] <nixnoob> with ATI configuration of anything is hell on earth.
[15:57] <Xavura> anything I do shows on both screens in text-only mode
[15:57] <Rudd-O> is it an ati?
[15:57] <Xavura> so why can't it bloody do that in GUI
[15:57] <amenado> ne2k__-> what are you trying to do?
[15:57] <Xavura> Yes it is an ATI.
[15:57] <Rudd-O> okay, you will be able to
[15:58] <Rudd-O> the screens are separately addressable by PCI ID
[15:58] <Xavura> How though Rudd-O ?
[15:58] <Xavura> I looked at the link that was posted, it had no information
[15:58] <ne2k__> amenado: I'm trying to find out if the ethernet link is active; i.e., is there something at the other end of the cable with an ethernet link negotiated
[15:58] <Rudd-O> may I ask one question though, why don't you want to run Xinerama?
[15:58] <Xavura> Rudd-O: because if I put my monitor (17") and my TV (24") next to each other as one virtual display
[15:58] <Xavura> It's going to look fairly retarded
[15:58] <Xavura> That's why
[15:59] <keeper__> hi
[15:59] <unavailable> rofl
[15:59] <amenado> ne2k__-> do you have the netfilter ? you can see if ip_conntrack packets are counting up?
[15:59] <Xavura> and I'm only doing this so I can lay in bed and use the computer on the TV
[15:59] <Xavura> :D
[15:59] <unavailable> lazy
[15:59] <macrobad> ne2k__: use 'ip link show'
[15:59] <robot_jesus> is their a commandline tool where I can put something in the clipboard for X ?
[15:59] <Rudd-O> Xavura: reasonable.  Do you know how I solved that?  I got myself a 24 inch 1920x1200 monitor.  Now I don't need a TV.
[15:59] <keeper__> I am looking for an overlay for zattoo?
[15:59] <Rudd-O> haahaa
[15:59] <Rudd-O> :-p
[15:59] <Xavura> Rudd-O: That's nice, not everyone is rich though
[15:59] <Rudd-O> Xavura: well, I spent only about $700 on it
[15:59] <wols> keeper__: an overlay?
[16:00] <Xavura> Rudd-O: $700 is a lot of money
[16:00] <unavailable> not everyone can drop 700 on a monitor
[16:00] <Xavura> Rudd-O: Do you have any idea how to do this or not? I'm kind of bored and I'm feeling impatient, sorry but
[16:00] <Rudd-O> Xavura: I know :S
[16:00] <Rudd-O> Xavura: yes, I know
[16:00] <Rudd-O> I found out
[16:00] <Xavura> I've had a crap day
[16:00] <Xavura> nothing has worked for me today
[16:00] <Rudd-O> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/dual-head-twin-view-separate-x-window-things-you-can-do-with-multi-displays-606592/
[16:00] <Rudd-O> that is the skeleton of an xorg.conf file that will NOT work for you
[16:00] <Rudd-O> but you can make it work
[16:00] <unavailable> hell, thats more than my entire pc cost with the monitor and shipping
[16:00] <macrobad> ne2k__: LOWER_UP flag means that the physical layer is up, UP flag reflects the fact that 'ifconfig up' was executed, and NO-CARRIER means that there is no data link layer connection
[16:00] <Xavura> Rudd-O: No I can't.
[16:00] <Rudd-O> that should give you TWO logins screens, one for each TV
[16:01] <red22> Slart: well that deals with the order of aphabetic character (thanks, a step forward) but it's still ignoring "_"... that is "a" is sorted BEFORE "_C" but i would like "_C" to be first.  know what i mean?
[16:01] <Rudd-O> okay, here's how to make it work
[16:01] <agentpugsly> webcam activated, took a pic, nothing since then
[16:01] <zack1403> hey all, i have an intel graphics card in a relatively new lenovo and I am having trouble getting multiple monitor span to work.  I can get clone sorta working.  Anyone know a better gui tool than the one built into gnome?
[16:01] <agentpugsly> eh?
[16:01] <ne2k__> amenado: I don't care whether the packet count is increasing. I want to know if the ethernet link is negotiated
[16:01] <ne2k__> macrobad: I tried that, but I don't see any LOWER_UP flag
[16:01] <olleorama> Hello, anybody feel like helping me with a grub related problem_
[16:01] <Rudd-O> there are two "screen" sections
[16:01] <olleorama> ?
[16:01] <Slart> red22: tried setting LC_COLLATE to posix?
[16:01] <ne2k__> macrobad: even on interfaces that I know are negotiated
[16:01] <Rudd-O> and two monitors.  you need to identify each screen using the PCI ID.  You can get that with the lspci command
[16:01] <Slart> red22: you can test it out by doing "LC_COLLATE=posix ls"
[16:01] <Xavura> lspci
[16:02] <Slart> red22: that way you don't have to mess with config files until you know what you want
[16:02] <Rudd-O> and for the monitors you can leave out the horizsync and vertrefresh
[16:02] <DarkAudit> I installed apt-build, and *tried* to install the pan newsreader with sudo apt-build install pan. When it was finished compiling, apt instead downloaded and installed the binary from the regular Ubuntu repositories. It did the same thing even after I manually added my build directory to sources.list. I had to eventually install the built package manually. This morning Adept sees the precompiled pan as an upgrade, when it's the s
[16:02] <macrobad> ne2k__: What kernel version do you have? It's a relatively recent addition. Let me check the minimal one
[16:02] <amenado> ne2k__-> you dont care? perhaps you need to understand that in order for a working link the packet count has to go up, otherwise the packets goes to the bit bucket yesh?
[16:02] <Rudd-O> however, HOWEVER, if you are connecting via composite out or svideo out, you will need to find the appropriate modeline for NTSC or PAL refresh
[16:02] <Xavura> Rudd-O: Would you be so kind as to walk me through it?
[16:02] <Xavura> It IS composite and it is PAL60.
[16:02] <keeper__> wols: yes, a pachage repository, which I can add to software update and so zattoo is automatically updated
[16:02] <Rudd-O> composite, pal60
[16:02] <Rudd-O> okay
[16:03] <Rudd-O> modelines for PAL: http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2003-November/019776.html
[16:03] <olleorama> Again, kinda desperate for help here..
[16:03] <macrobad> ne2k__: What about the loopback interface? It should have '<LOOPBACK, UP, LOWER_UP>'
[16:03] <Rudd-O> olleorama: can you restate your question please?
[16:03] <ne2k__> macrobad: kernel is 2.4.30
[16:03] <alexbobp> I heard that there was some issue that prevented TrueCrypt from making it into the Ubuntu repositories.  Does anybody know anything about that?
[16:04] <Rudd-O> alexbobp: I think it's a licensing issue.
[16:04] <Xavura> Rudd-O: "Initially I had the 60 Hz PAL settings, but I
[16:04] <Xavura> scaled down the scan rates to get the 50 Hz version."
[16:04] <vergil> license, if I recall
[16:04] <ross> how do i find out where i downloaded my files to ?
[16:04] <olleorama> Rudd-O, I have some trouble with grub, or rather I wont boot at all
[16:04] <ross> in ubuntu
[16:04] <trakinas> Rudd-O: grub related. but he did not say what error...
[16:04] <Xavura> and how exactly am I meant to get them back to 60 HZ?
[16:04] <Rudd-O> olleorama: okay, what's the error message?  we need that.
[16:04] <macrobad> ne2k__: Well, hard luck: it must have been added around 2.6.16.
[16:04] <Xavura> Rudd-O: I am most certainly going to break something...
[16:04] <Rudd-O> Xavura: with the right modeline you can drive your screen at 60 or 50 hz
[16:04] <amenado> ross-> what did you use to download?
[16:04] <Pelo> how do nvidia gforce 6800 perform in hardy ? , Asus is offering this as an upgrade for a damanged mobo ( mobo + video card) and I'm a bit warry of nvidia , having heard nothing realy good in regards to support in linux
[16:04] <ne2k__> amenado: that's complete rubbish. the packet count does not have to go up for the physical link to be negotiated
[16:04] <ross> amenado: freebsd stuff
[16:04] <Rudd-O> but you only put that modeline in the section that refers to the TV
[16:04] <ross> amenado: oh
[16:05] <ross> amenado: whatever came with the browser
[16:05] <Xavura> Rudd-O: But even with that, I am still lost as to what I need to do
[16:05] <trakinas> anycase... gentoo grub error list ftw! http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml
[16:05] <Xavura> Do I need to totally overwrite my xorg.conf? Add to it? What?
[16:05] <DarkAudit> when dpkg-reconfigure first ran, it never asked what directory to use for built packages, but there was an apt-build file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d with the directory in it. But to get synaptic to see the directory, I had to add the line into sources.list by hand
[16:05] <Rudd-O> Xavura: modify it if it's there, create it if it's not
[16:05] <ne2k__> macrobad: so how does mii-tool and ethtool do it? is there nothing in /proc for it?
[16:05] <alexbobp> Rudd-O: I read the licence though, and it says that it can be included unmodified in an operating system or compilation of software, as long as it remains intact and with links to the truecrypt site.
[16:05] <Rudd-O> add two Device sections, one for each video device in lspci
[16:05] <red22> Slart: the way you posted doesn't work, something wrong about the syntax... pls fix
[16:05] <gaelfx> pelo: not sure about that exact card, but I have NVidia GeForce Go 6150 and I crash pretty often when watching video
[16:05] <Rudd-O> alexbobp: taht is precisely what makes it NOT open source.
[16:05] <unavailable> [random off-topic rant]   help i have windows!
[16:05] <amenado> ne2k__-> rubbish? if you believe you can get a working link without packet counts going up, good luck..perhaps i am mis-understanding your unclear question
[16:05] <popey> keeper__: ask zattoo to provde one
[16:06] <ross> also, im' trying ot open up "search for files", and it's not letting me
[16:06] <olleorama> Rudd-O; I installed another distro to use as a dual boot, but the new distro installed its own grub  which screwed the ubuntu one, I didnt even get to choose not to use the first one, so no grub cant find any load image/file, Im on the live version now
[16:06] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: try switching to opengl oputput or xshm output in your video player.
[16:06] <ne2k__> amenado: the link can be up and no packets are being sent. that doesn't mean the link isn't up. this is very obvious.
[16:06] <somolinos> hi all
[16:06] <alexbobp> unavailable: dban is the answer, I'm afraid
[16:06] <macrobad> ne2k__: I still cannot find the link, but I believe that the data structure used to be in the kernel earlier, it was not exposed though. So, they must be using it.
[16:06] <Rudd-O> olleorama: mount the old distro's / partition somewhere, chroot to it, mount /boot if needed (if it was separate) and run grub-install /dev/sda <- if sda is your first hard disk
[16:06] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: wow, I've been trying for a week to get somebody to help me with that
[16:06] <red22> Slart: i'll brb afk 10 mins have to take care of something.  i'll read from here on.
[16:07] <somolinos> how can i install a package with apt-get without using the cd ?
[16:07] <gaelfx> sad that it took me saying something negative to get help
[16:07] <alexbobp> Rudd-O: TrueCrypt is open-source.  It can be modified and redistributed too, but it has to be under a different name.
[16:07] <alraune> <Xavura: sry for leaving you, i (hihi) pulled the plug when we ware chatting.. xorg.conf ?
[16:07] <Xavura> alraune: Oh
[16:07] <ross> i can't use the "search for file" features on here
[16:07] <ross> how to fix it?
[16:07] <macrobad> ne2k__: Indeed, why don't you try to send some packets and see if they flow?
[16:07] <ne2k__> macrobad: I'll just have to go back and crosscompile mii-tool for this target. I was hoping to avoid doing that as there are lots of these devices installed in the field and I don't really want to have to update them all
[16:07] <kriss> somolinos, maybe you need to edit the apt.sources file in /etc
[16:07] <alraune> <Xavura: first back up the old xorg.conf
[16:07] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: how do you change that for movie player?
[16:08] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: that is totem right?
[16:08] <somolinos> hum... but how? the sources seems to be ok...
[16:08] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: yeah, sorry
[16:08] <Rudd-O> I'm not sure,  I know how to change it in VLC (options->video->output modules, checkmark advanced settings, select x shared memory output) and kaffeine (xine engine options)
[16:08] <Xavura> alraune: One second
[16:08] <kriss> somolinos, try to run "update"
[16:08] <olleorama> Rudd-O; Roger that, will try
[16:08] <ne2k__> macrobad: errm, what do you mean? surely the TX packet count will go up even if the phy is not negotiated?
[16:08] <kriss> ie. apt-get update
[16:09] <unavailable> alexbobp actually ive found http://www.ubuntu.com is the best fix to a microsoft infection
[16:09] <macrobad> ne2k__: Let me give you the link to though. Perhaps, with its help, you'll be able to find the clue in the /proc.
[16:09] <amenado> ne2k__-> lets play a bit, so you have a link up (just the interface) now what good would that do if you dont pass packets through it?
[16:09] <alexbobp> unavailable: Unless you wipe it good, there's still a possibility of relapse if you use data recovery software...
[16:09] <unavailable> rofl
[16:10] <ne2k__> amenado: because packets /can/ be passed when we want them to be.
[16:10] <macrobad> ne2k__: I mean, if the structure was present but not exposed, then the kernel must know it, and respond with the link down or something like that... just a minute
[16:10] <unavailable> alexbobp and one has to make sure all microsoft recovery media is wiped/broken
[16:10] <fgabriel> kriss: sorry... i found it. it needs only to comment the cd-rom entry. thank you.
[16:10] <fo2sh> guys i need a FTP program (like filezilla) any ideas ?
[16:11] <kriss> fo2sh, maybe you can try gftp
[16:11] <kyncani> fo2sh: hmm, filezilla ?
[16:11] <kyncani> fo2sh: (it's available in hardy)
[16:11] <fo2sh> thanks
[16:12] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: still there?
[16:12]  * unavailable thinks of tftp when he hears gftp
[16:12] <legend2440> JuzzyD: did you get it?
[16:12] <Jeruvy> unavailable: not sure why, tftp is stable :)
[16:12] <DarkAudit> my local folder for apt-build packages is at the bottom of my sources.list. Is that why apt is preferring the regular repos over the locally built package of the same version?
[16:13] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: yes, sorry, had to jump somewhere else for a bit
[16:13] <localgod11>  how can I get my nvidia 7200 gs working under ubuntu. I have tried envy and restricted drivers with no luck (hardy)
[16:13] <macrobad> ne2k__: This might give you a hint: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/networking/operstates.txt#L142
[16:13] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: haha, that's ok, just makin sure you didn't jump ship
[16:13] <kyncani> DarkAudit: yep, providing they're the same versions
[16:13] <ne2k__> amenado: the link status is nothing to do with whether the interface is being used. you can see the link light on a NIC even if no packets are being sent
[16:14] <agentpugsly> ok, so the webcam is working but it's only taking a still image
[16:14] <amenado> ne2k__-> it is useless if you dont use it to pass packets back in forth
[16:14] <ne2k__> amenado: you are stupid
[16:15] <amenado> ne2k__-> likewise to you, you are a moron
[16:15] <DarkAudit> kyncani: so move deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main to the top of the list
[16:15] <agentpugsly> i'm a moron when it comes to webcams in linux
[16:15] <agentpugsly> whoo howdy
[16:15] <kyncani> DarkAudit: i guess
[16:15] <alraune> !dualhead
[16:15] <ne2k__> amenado: it is useful to know at this moment that the link is up, because that proves that packets /can/ be sent. if packets is up, but packets /aren't/ being sent, that is then the problem with the piece of equipment at the other end of the cable.
[16:15] <gaelfx> anyone good at hacking routers/switches?
[16:15] <gaelfx> I want to open up the listening port for my utorrent
[16:16] <agentpugsly> it takes a still image with time stamp every time i reset the router (the cam is plugged into a diskless pxe booted machine running 7.10)
[16:16] <agentpugsly> i'm totally at a loss!
[16:16] <ne2k__> amenado: I have never met a more stubbornly idiotic person in my life
[16:16] <agentpugsly> WHOOOO
[16:16] <macrobad> ne2k__: I cannot say anything else to help you, but if you manage to find a way to query this information in 2.4, please, share! :)
[16:16] <ghostshadow_> n
[16:16] <amenado> ne2k__-> you are a moron, you asked for help and you like to insult people
[16:16] <macrobad> Guys, calm down!
[16:16] <ne2k__> macrobad: well, mii-tool can do it -- I was just hoping not to have to cross-compile it, but go to an existing /proc variable
[16:17] <DarkAudit> WoW players: patch 2.4.3 is live today
[16:17] <localgod11> how can I get my nvidia 7200 gs working under ubuntu. I have tried envy and restricted drivers with no luck (hardy)
[16:18] <gaelfx> localgod11: well, not sure, but you could throw your sig on one of the many petitions for Nvidia to open source its drivers
[16:18] <ross> i have wine installed, now how i can go about getting to work in wine?
[16:18] <ne2k__> amenado: if the ethernet link is down, I know the problem is with the cable or with the power to the device at the other end. if the link is up, I know the problem is /not/ with the cable or the power to the device at the other end -- VERY, VERY USEFUL INFORMATION INDEED -- and the device at the other end may have crashed or otherwise stopped responding.
[16:19] <olleorama> rudd-o; some more guidance would be nice, Ive mounted my ubuntuharddrive and chrooted to it and trying to run grub-install but it cant find my harddrive in chrooted mode?
[16:19] <gaelfx> ross: #wine-hq
[16:19] <DarkAudit> kyncani: nope. Moved the line to the top and adept still sees the precompiled pan as an upgrade :(
[16:19] <npope> hopefully my irc connection wont get hosed again
[16:19] <ross> gaelfx: what is that?
[16:19] <npope> having terrable trouble
[16:19] <localgod11> gaelfx:  already did
[16:19] <ross> gaelfx: what exactly do i have to do?
[16:19] <sidney> salut
[16:19] <gaelfx> sorry, #winehq
[16:20] <ne2k__> amenado: if all I know is that packets are not being received, I do not know whether the problem is with the cable, or the device has crashed. now, tell me again that the information I want is useless.
[16:20] <macrobad> ne2k__: mii-tool is either using the kernel, or deriving this information from the same one you have already. It cannot directly access the hardware. So, it *is* there, and the question is how to fetch it.
[16:20] <localgod11> gaelfx: I was kind of hoping to use this card this year though
[16:20] <fantasticmrfox> Was Ubuntu 7 the last to be based on Lenny?
[16:20] <gaelfx> ross: join the irc channel #winehq the same way you joined this one
[16:20] <fantasticmrfox> and 8 is Sid?
[16:20] <ne2k__> macrobad: yes. I will cross-compile mii-tool. that is the easiest solution now
[16:20] <sarthor> i am i am using ubuntu hardy on 64 bit pc. my webcam is working fine on kopete, but not on gyachi, am i need any extra plugin to run my webcam cam on gyachi? if yes. then please tell me what plugin and how to instll tht. i am new.
[16:20] <gaelfx> localgod11: what do you need the driver for?
[16:20] <kyncani> DarkAudit: how about removing all non-local repos, to see if your local repo is working ?
[16:21] <ross> there is no one htere
[16:21] <localgod11> gaelfx:  compiz and high res
[16:21] <ross> gaelfx: no on eis htere
[16:21] <kyncani> DarkAudit: as a side note, if non-local repos have a more recent version of the packages, they will take precedence over your local repo
[16:21] <gaelfx> ross: ok, go to www.wine-hq.com and find the irc channel there
[16:22] <localgod11> gaelfx:  trying to through a res greater that 1280 and hopefully remove some artifacs that the onbpard was leaving\
[16:22] <gaelfx> ross: sorry again, www.winehq.com
[16:22] <unavailable> #winehq has  178 	Users  but good luck on getting any of them to answer
[16:22] <ross> gaelfx: ah holdon
[16:22] <jpw27_> I just installed Ubuntu via Wubi on an old Windows box, and my screen res is stuck out 800x600.  card is a Matrox Millenium G400, monitor is a Cornea CT1702T
[16:22] <jbroome> !resolution > jpw27_
[16:22] <jpw27_> Windows usually runs at something like 1280x1024 no problem
[16:22] <gaelfx> localgod11: ah, ok, but I've heard that compiz can have ill-effects on your net connection
[16:23] <ne2k__> macrobad: I can't upgrade to 2.6 because I am using a proprietary driver which has not been ported to 2.6. I wonder if the addition to 2.6 which reveals this information to ip (LOWER_UP) has been backported to 2.4? I could upgrade the kernel if so. I see 2.4.36 is out. must be lots of changes since 2.4.30
[16:23] <blood> nçk

[16:23] <C4N> e ai blood
[16:23] <bartleby> o.o
[16:24] <ne2k__> amenado: I see you have gone rather quiet
[16:24] <gaelfx> localgod11: did you try both the restricted drivers and envy on the same install, or was each on fresh installs?
[16:24] <legend2440> JuzzyD: did you get it to work?
[16:24] <Rudd-O> olleorama: sorry, forgot about something important
[16:24] <bartleby> I think I may be retarded, fellow IRCers
[16:24] <Rudd-O> before the chroot, you need to run cp -R /dev/* /pathtoharddrive/dev/
[16:24] <Rudd-O> and then you can chroot just fine
[16:24] <ne2k__> unavailable: I found #winehq very helpful. but they did insist I upgrade to their repository, saying that the ubuntu version was broken.
[16:24] <ramblex> Is it possible to use ipod touch with software upgrade with ubuntu?
[16:24] <bartleby> for some reason I can no longer hear the sound from any videos, what's going on?
[16:25] <gaelfx> bartleby: I'm not sure that that statement logically makes sense, and that makes me wonder whether it proves your point or refutes it
[16:25] <ne2k__> bartleby: can you hear any other sound? try tapping on your head -- can you hear that? if not, you are deaf.
[16:25] <bartleby> don't be douches
[16:25] <ramblex> bartleby, are you using alsa?
[16:25] <berezovski> #ubuntubr
[16:25] <unavailable> ne2k__: thats because their repository has the latest and greatest whereas ubuntu's has the latest stable
[16:25] <kyncani> bartleby: check the volumes, check again and recheck
[16:25] <gaelfx> bartleby: sorry, I was just kidding...

[16:26] <bartleby> I did check the volume and everything. it suddenly stopped working on all videos. youtube, google, the works

[16:26] <gaelfx> ramblex: not sure, but you could try putting iTunes on through Wine
[16:26] <unavailable> yah they had the "dont come here for help unless youve upgraded to the fixed version" type of attitude
[16:27] <ramblex> gaelfx, itunes is a dog thru WIne :/
[16:27]  * unavailable still wonders why anyone would use such a resource hog like itunes for anything
[16:27] <gaelfx> localgod11: well, when I tried to remove the restricted drivers and then put envy on, it screwed my res, but maybe there was another way for me to fix it
[16:27] <omkar> hi
[16:27] <omkar> people
[16:27] <gaelfx> ramblex: wasn't sure, sorry, but I think that's the easiest way to do it
[16:27] <bartleby> hiya
[16:27] <bartleby> guess no dave chapelle for me
[16:27] <bartleby> ;__;
[16:27] <gaelfx> localgod11: maybe you could edit xorg.conf to get it to offer a diff res
[16:28] <unavailable> bartleby try killall pulseaudio
[16:28] <DarkAudit> the local repository is not being added to my sources.list
[16:28] <Lusule> I'd like to thank everyone for the support in here, I'm really enjoying my Ubuntu experience because of it :)
[16:28] <gaelfx> localgod11: when you used Envy, did it say that the driver would not work for your computer, or what?
[16:28] <omkar> hey people
[16:28] <omkar> i have a bit probs
[16:28] <m11> Lusule: nice to hear :)
[16:28] <omkar> i m on Ubuntu Machine now
[16:28] <gaelfx> Lusule: that's great to hear, even if it wasn't my fault :D
[16:29] <omkar> i have a problem on Fedora System
[16:29] <dennis_> Sind Deutsche da
[16:29]  * kyncani thinks Lusule is being nice because he has something to ask ;)  (just kidding, i hope)
[16:29] <ramblex> omkar, just tell us the problem...
[16:29] <Lusule> *she ;)
[16:29] <gaelfx> omkar: so what's the problem?
[16:29] <omkar> i want to connect to a IRC related to fedora from Ubuntu machine can any one tellme do i have to write #fedora or directly fedora/
[16:29] <dennis_> Hello
[16:29] <omkar> ?
[16:29] <dennis_> Are German´s there
[16:29] <Lusule> and no, nothing to ask.... yet
[16:29] <bazhang> !de
[16:29] <ne2k__> dennis_: here, not there!
[16:29] <localgod11> gaelfx:  no didnt "SAY" anything but on rerboot I got low graphics
[16:30] <bazhang> omkar, /join #fedora
[16:30] <omkar> okay thnks
[16:30] <bono> hi,can anyone tell me i would like to run a text mode ubuntu under a text mode ubuntu
[16:30] <gaelfx> localgo11: like so low res you couldn't view one whole window?
[16:30] <bono> which vm should i use
[16:30] <gaelfx> localgod11: like so low res you couldn't view one whole window?
[16:30] <bono> xen?
[16:30] <bazhang> bono, you want to run vm without x server?
[16:31] <bono> Yes!
[16:31] <bazhang> bono, why
[16:31] <Rudd-O> bono: start the vm in runlevel 3
[16:31] <bono> coz i prefer speeed with x
[16:31] <bono> No
[16:31] <bono> I need the Host as well in text mode
[16:32] <gavi> hey folks im using ubuntu 8.04 and it has stoped automounting usb devices, does anyone have a solution?
[16:32] <bono> coz i prefer speeed "without" x
[16:32] <Shishire> Ok, this is really weird.  I've tried logging in several times, and the only settings that work are failsafe terminal and failsafe gnome.  the others just send me back to the log in screen.
[16:32] <Shishire> Anyone have any idea what causes that?
[16:33] <hateball> Shishire: Try rename your gnome config files, perhaps they're corrupt
[16:33] <Shishire> where are they located?
[16:33] <kyncani> Shishire: look at ~/.xsession-errors
[16:33] <olleorama> rudd-o, I cant install grub on my harddrive since its not present in the chrooted /dev
[16:34] <gaelfx> gavi: can you still mount the drives manually?
[16:34] <causa-prima> hi there! if got a process i kannt kill, even kill -9 doesn't work
[16:34] <gaelfx> gavi: I mean, in terminal or through nautilus?
[16:34] <gavi> i believe so.. i tried with gparted and i can mount
[16:35] <faheem> Hi. Just noticed that http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/ and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports do rather different things.
[16:35] <Jayzee> Anyone good at mdadm / cfdisk here? I need a few advices on how to setup a RAID5 correctly
[16:35] <gaelfx> gavi: all devices, or is it just one device you're having trouble with?
[16:35] <ne2k__> causa-prima: that is impossible. kill -9 cannot be intercepted. are you sure that the very same pid is being used and that you don't have something that is being respawned by init or something else?
[16:35] <faheem> In my opinion this is a bug. Just wondered if I'm missing something.
[16:35] <kyncani> causa-prima: kill -9 does not work -> reboot ...
[16:35] <bono> it's not possible?@@
[16:35] <gavi> gaelfx,  but i seem to be having delete and cut issues inside nautalis im trying with terminal now as root
[16:36] <muddler> gavi: try typing 'dmesg' into a console just after you've plugged it in
[16:36] <gaelfx> gavi: do you have scim running?
[16:36] <causa-prima> ne2k: how to find out? it's totem, i don't think it respawns itself ;)
[16:36] <sipior> causa-prima: probably just a zombie. doesn't cause any harm (usually), and will go away at next reboot...
[16:36] <gavi> seems to be working fine with root in terminal
[16:36] <causa-prima> kyncani: i really don't like rebooting
[16:36] <gavi> im not sure what a scim is
[16:36] <gavi> but before i try dmesg, must i unmount?
[16:36] <bono> hi,can anyone tell me HowTO,Ii would like to run a text mode debian(VM) under a text mode debian
[16:36] <causa-prima> sipior: oh, it DOAS harm..100%cpu
[16:36] <gaelfx> gavi: haha, then you're probably not running it
[16:36] <muddler> davi: I would
[16:36] <muddler> gavi i mean
[16:36] <kyncani> ne2k__, causa-prima : kill -9 does not work -> process is in uninterruptible sleep -> reboot needed
[16:37] <gaelfx> gavi: I don't think so, but not sure
[16:37] <sipior> causa-prima: could you paste the relevant ps output line?
[16:37] <gaelfx> gavi: have you tried watching the syslog WHILE you plug the device in?
[16:37] <kyncani> causa-prima: you do have permissions to send signals to this process right ? try kill -9 as root (sudo ...)
[16:37] <macrobad> ne2k__: Are you here?
[16:37] <gavi> gaelfx, no i have not
[16:37] <ne2k__> macrobad: yep
[16:38] <gaelfx> gavi: if you do, it might tell you if something is going wrong when you plug in the device
[16:38] <causa-prima> sipior: how? ps <pid>?
[16:38] <unavailable> kyncani ne2k__ causa-prima killall not an option?
[16:38] <sipior> causa-prima: yup
[16:38] <GMFlash> i'm trying to update to the latest version of rubygems on a freshly installed ubuntu 8.04. everything "looks" right but for some reason it isn't updating. anyone know what else i have to do? http://pastie.org/233880
[16:38] <causa-prima> kyncani: i did not start it as root, so i suppose it can't give root-rights to itself..but i'll try it with sudo ;)
[16:38] <ne2k__> causa-prima: ps auwx |grep <process-name>
[16:38] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: so do you know how to switch the video rendering mode in Totem, or no
[16:39] <DarkAudit> I installed build-essential. I installed apt-build, and set it to athlon 64. The setup did NOT add the directory to my sources.list, even when it asked me if I wanted it to. When I did "sudo apt-build install pan", the package downloaded the necessary files to compile the package and started the compile. When it finished all that, it downloaded and installed the package from  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main anyway, as if
[16:39] <faheem> Hi. Just noticed that http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/ and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports do rather different things. Only the former behaves as I would expect. I think this is a bug,
[16:39]  * bjwebb needs help
[16:39] <causa-prima> 1000     30424 77.8 13.4 634308 138524 ?       DNl  13:28 200:30 totem file:///media/medien/Medien2/Filme/Neu/Citizen%20Kane%20AC3%20AC3.avi
[16:39] <macrobad> ne2k__: So, I've found out that IFF_LOWER_UP was added in 2.6.17, and IFF_RUNNING - in 2.6.13. See http://lxr.linux.no/linux/include/linux/if.h#L50 for details. Also, there is an interesting desription of those states in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2863#section-3.1.10
[16:39] <gavi> gaelfx, thanks for your help i wish i could give u more attention, however something just came up and i need to go...
[16:39] <gavi> i hope i didnt waste to much of your time
[16:40] <gavi> thanks anyways
[16:40] <kurumin> hi
[16:40] <gaelfx> gavi: it's all good, I didn't really do anything anywho
[16:40] <causa-prima> btw: ctrl + alt +backspace did't work either..
[16:40] <sipior> causa-prima: and sudo kill -9 doesn't work on this guy?
[16:40] <gaelfx> gavi: good luck
[16:40] <ne2k__> faheem: this is not a bug. in HTTP, a directory must end with /
[16:40] <macrobad> ne2k__: In short, it was not in 2.4, and I'm really curious to know how mii-tools did it. Well, still not enough to browse the source :)
[16:40] <kyncani> unavailable, ne2k__, causa-prima : a process stuck in uninterruptible sleep cannot be killed with current linux kernels. Last time i checked lwn, there was a plan to change this. Won't happen this year though
[16:40] <DarkAudit> what's the point of using apt-build if the setup procedures as they currently are mean it will ignore that package you just spen half an hour compiling and go off on it's own and get the remote package?
[16:41] <causa-prima> sipior, nope, doesn't work
[16:41] <Sigiken> Hello, I cant get 3d acceleration, altough the driver is installed
[16:41] <causa-prima> kynaci: that means i HAVE to reboot, no way arround this?
[16:41] <kurumin> hi, i`m froo brazil, like of a help in serve ltsp!
[16:41] <Pici> !br | kurumin
[16:41] <kyncani> causa-prima: yep, D means uninterruptible sleep i think. Live with it because only a reboot will clean it
[16:41] <Shishire> ... still not working.  I've checked my .xsession-errors, and renamed both .gnome2 and uninstalled compiz
[16:41] <gaelfx> Sigiken: it might help if you told us the card you are having issues with
[16:41] <localgod11> gaelfx:  no like 800x600
[16:41] <sipior> causa-prima: yeah, the D state is never a good sign :-) time for a reboot...
[16:42] <Sigiken> Ati x1950pro PCI-E
[16:42] <gaelfx> localgod11: hmm, still pretty crappy though
[16:42] <C4N> hey Pici
[16:42] <Sorlag> ive Problem. If i use shutdown +m -q (which means --quiet) The comp is still beeping! Why is that?
[16:42] <C4N> that para is wrong in Portuguese
[16:42] <kyncani> causa-prima: as long as you have only one process stuck, you can live with it until next reboot. Otherwise, a reboot is needed, unfortunately
[16:42] <causa-prima> kyncani: i cannot live with 100% cpu ;)
[16:42] <gaelfx> localgod11: did you do the restricted driver first and then Envy?
[16:42] <localgod11> gaelfx:  yep i can get 1280 with the onboard but it leaves artifacts when playing vid at that res
[16:42] <C4N> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[16:42] <Sigiken> Yes
[16:42] <kyncani> causa-prima: a process in D state cannot consume cpu either
[16:42] <C4N> That is correct
[16:42] <localgod11> gaelfx:  nope envy first
[16:42] <causa-prima> sipior: but how did this d stat happen? i mean i do not want it to happen again ;)
[16:42] <sipior> causa-prima: if you start another process, the dead process will no longer be taking up 100% of the cpu
[16:43] <javier_> what player u recommend to see films and you can change the size and location of the subtitles?
[16:43] <gaelfx> localgod11: when you rebooted after envy, did you go into the safe-graphics mode?
[16:43] <Sigiken> oh ehm, I did envyNG before the restriced driver, cause it gave me problems
[16:43] <causa-prima> kyncani: want a screenshot? it DOES..like i said..100% cpu. it's a totem, so i guess it's some sort of indian witch stuff..err..
[16:43] <Shishire> I'm still unable to login to a normal session.  it bumps me back to the login screen.  Any suggestions?
[16:43] <sipior> causa-prima: probably an i/o issue. doubtful it would happen again, but perhaps there was a problem with the file you were attempting to play?
[16:44] <Sigiken>  How do I get in safe-graphics mode?
[16:44] <gregord1> causa-prima: if you check the process state codes, you will find your process is "D    Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)"
[16:44] <gregord1> causa-prima: see http://isomerica.net/archives/2008/03/22/troubleshooting-defunct-zombie-processes-on-linux/
[16:45] <causa-prima> sipior: i mean, it doesn't take all the 10%, but it takes every little rest left..so about 96-98%
[16:45] <Cyndrework> anyone know best place to buy a .ca domain?
[16:45] <Sigiken> ooh sorry, that was meant tos omeone else :P
[16:45] <Sorlag> ive Problem. If i use shutdown +m -q (which means --quiet) The comp is still beeping! Why is that?
[16:45] <macrobad> ne2k__: And yeah, ip tool has supported it since Source-Version: 20071016-1
[16:45] <kyncani> causa-prima: don't want it to happen again ? Pray to the kernel gods : please kernel gods, fix this issue so that we humble users won't have to suffer again helplessly ... (something like that)
[16:45] <sipior> causa-prima: you already know how to fix it :-)
[16:45] <bjwebb> im having trouble burning a dvd :S
[16:45] <causa-prima> kyncani: you think this will help? ;)
[16:46] <isakey> what are these console command to get info from optical drive and media?
[16:46] <ANDREIdude> does anyoneknow how to change the Network Card MAC?
[16:46] <causa-prima> sipior: yeah..i'll reboot. ;)
[16:46] <bjwebb> i think i can erase it, but i get errors when i try to write - ive tried the default ubuntu one, brassero and k3b, but none of them work
[16:46] <sun01tech> i created a partition with gparted, how do i gain ownership of it, since i am unable to write to it, other than in terminal with sudo
[16:46] <nixnoob> ANDREIdude: i dont think thats possible?
[16:46] <gaelfx> ANDREIdude: I don't think you can do that
[16:46] <Dedi> anyone using a thinkpad fingerscan?
[16:46] <anw> ANDREIdude:  macchanger
[16:46] <nixnoob> i stand corrected
[16:46] <gaelfx> ANDREIdude: but maybe you can spoof it
[16:47] <isakey> what are these console command to get info from optical drive and media?
[16:47] <localgod11> gaelfx: yep it did
[16:47] <Sigiken> THe card of mine is x1950 PRO (PCI-E) sorry
[16:47] <ANDREIdude> anw without the machanger
[16:48] <gaelfx> localgod11: ok, well, try envy again, only this time, when that dialog pops up after reboot, shutdown first and then start up the computer again
[16:48] <ANDREIdude> because i can't connect to the internet without the specified MAC by the ISP
[16:48] <ANDREIdude> from*
[16:48] <gaelfx> localgod11: not saying it's the most perfect fix, or even technically sound, but it worked once for me
[16:48] <nixnoob> anyone know how to configure irssi to automatically join irc.freenode.net change my nick and msg nickserv?
[16:48] <causa-prima> so..thanks to evereyone helping me with this little one. i was just supprised tehre is something you cannot kill ;)
[16:48] <causa-prima> that means: we need bigger weapons than kill -9 ;)
[16:49] <Sorlag> oh comeon you guys how do i shutdown +m without system beep??
[16:49]  * unavailable thinks we need a nuke command
[16:49] <causa-prima> oh yeah ;)
[16:50] <causa-prima> armageddon <pid> or somthing
[16:50] <Sigiken> Could you help me getting my card workign?
[16:50] <unavailable> like nuke -l:p would nuke all processes beginning with the letter p
[16:50] <localgod11> gaelfx:  your saying run envy then reboot when I come up in safe mode?
[16:50] <macrobad> nixnoob: I do
[16:50] <gaelfx> Sorlag: have you tried disabling the system beep?
[16:50] <sipior> Sorlag: the -q switch refers to terminal output, not the system beep
[16:50] <Kardoso> hi all
[16:50] <Sorlag> sipior its still outputting
[16:50] <unavailable> and nuke -l:p -keep   would remember to nuke all further processes that start that begin with the letter p
[16:51] <gaelfx> localgod11: yeah, when envy asks you to reboot, reboot, when the dialog comes up saying "You are about start in safe-graphics mode" or whatever, select shut down
[16:51]  * sipior shrugs
[16:51] <kyncani> causa-prima: there are no more effective weapon than kill -9. That draws the limit between what we can fix in userland and the kernel space where bugs often lead to reboot needed
[16:51] <cet> hey folks, how is everybody? :)
[16:51] <Sorlag> gaelfx no i just want to disable it for shutdown-countdown
[16:51] <sipior> Sorlag: actually, checking the man page, i notice that i don't seem to have a -q switch anyway, so it is not surprising that it would do nothing :-)
[16:52] <gaelfx> Sorlag: you do know that -q means it doesn't display messages, it has nothing to do with actual sounds, right?
[16:52] <causa-prima> kyncani: so reboot is the ultimate wapon..or what? it's like we do the big bang to our RAM
[16:52] <mnuaimat> hi guys
[16:52] <Kardoso> hi
[16:52] <mnuaimat> i have a problem with firefox. it exited unexpectedly without showing any error msg when i open yahoo mail beta, i am on ubuntu 8.04 with firefox 3.0
[16:52] <Sorlag> gaeplex its outputting anyways
[16:52] <Sorlag> damn@damn-desktop:~$ sudo shutdown +5 -q
[16:52] <Sorlag> Broadcast message from damn@damn-desktop
[16:52] <Sorlag> 	(/dev/pts/0) at 17:40 ...
[16:52] <Sorlag> The system is going down for maintenance in 5 minutes!
[16:52] <cet> anyone really good at samba stuff here? i could really need some help..
[16:52] <FloodBot2> Sorlag: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:52] <Sorlag> Broadcast message from damn@damn-desktop
[16:52] <Sorlag> 	(/dev/pts/0) at 17:41 ...
[16:52] <kyncani> causa-prima, unavailable : yeah, reboot will kill all processes beginning with letter p, it will also shoot every other process and force-restart the box ;)
[16:52] <sun01tech> couldn't connect with program on phone, tried several things, rebooted and like magic
[16:52] <gaelfx> localgod11: I know that makes no sense, but like I said, it worked once for me, so maybe it will for you too
[16:53] <mnuaimat> sorry -- errrrrr its not beta anymore, its just yahoo mail
[16:53] <isakey> mnuaimat: it happened a lot to me too, dunno why. but not with yahoo sites
[16:53] <unavailable> and finally nuke -p :<pid> -rw random   would nuke kill the process with associated pid then rewrite over the process file with a file full of random digits
[16:53] <nixnoob> anyone know how to configure irssi to automatically join irc.freenode.net change my nick and msg nickserv?
[16:53] <DarkAudit> even with deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main in my sources.list, apt-build will complile fine, then go right ahead and download and install the precompiled binary anyway, totally defeating the point of using apt-build in the first place. Something has gone wrong with setting apt-build up. What is it?
[16:53] <mnuaimat> isakey: any solution or log should we look into ?
[16:53] <Pici> nixnoob: irssi.org has some good tutorials
[16:54] <causa-prima> so, thank you again..i'll jszt reboot. good bye from germany :D
[16:54] <unavailable> ofcourse you would need sudo to use nuke
[16:54] <isakey> mnuaimat: i was said i should look into ~/.xsession-errors (if firefox was launched from quick icon, or shortcut, it log there)
[16:55] <gaelfx> Sorlag: why don't do 'man shutdown'?
[16:55] <unavailable> and possibly a second security measure like "are you sure you want to do this  if so type <a random 16 character hexdec code> at the following prompt
[16:55] <gaelfx> Sorlag: -q is not a valid option for shutdown
[16:55] <XChat> Is there a way to open .rar files in ubuntu? if so can you tell me how? thx in advance
[16:55] <Pici> !rar | XChat
[16:55] <unavailable> xchat sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[16:55] <Sorlag> -q, --quiet                 reduce output to errors only
[16:55] <gaelfx> XChat: use synaptic to add the package 'rar'
[16:55] <kyncani> unavailable: ho no, that would lead to questions like "how can i nuke without being root", just leave the nuke suid so that everyone can nuke anything ... and make it a network protocol, so that i can nuke your box from overseas :)
[16:55] <Sorlag> gaelfx indeed it is
[16:55] <Sorlag> -q, --quiet                 reduce output to errors only
[16:56] <unavailable> rofl
[16:56] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: look in the configuration for totem, I do NOT know how to switch video output method in totem
[16:56] <Pici> Sivam: Where do you see that?
[16:56] <Kardoso> How can I istall a .tar.bz2 install package? I'm starter in Linux. Please help me.
[16:56] <legend2440> JuzzyD: did you get it to work?
[16:56] <Rudd-O> BUT
[16:56] <Pici> Sorlag: Where do you see that?
[16:56] <DarkAudit> deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main is the same priority level as the rest of the repositories. Is that the problem here?
[16:56] <mnuaimat> i have run firefox from command line, there's segmentation fault error, please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/27507/
[16:56] <Sorlag> shutdown --help
[16:56] <kyncani> unavailable: wait a minute, don't they already have these kind of backdoors implemented as trojan on windows ?
[16:56] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: there is a gstreamer options panel in gnome preferences (it is called multimedia I think), look there!
[16:56] <anw> xDDD
[16:56] <Sivam> Kardoso: tar -jxvf
[16:56] <unavailable> kyncani yep :)
[16:57] <mnuaimat> isakey: can you look at the output
[16:57] <infid3l> hi im interested in installed a linux but im wondering if i should install firefox or ubuntu??
[16:57] <Sorlag> both ^^
[16:57] <Rudd-O> infid3l: firefox and ubuntu are orthogonal things
[16:57] <Kardoso> Sivam: Should I type it to Terminal?
[16:57] <unavailable> kyncani remember that you would need super sudo to use nuke as the command could fry your hdd
[16:57] <Sivam> yes
[16:57] <Rudd-O> when you install ubuntu you get firefox for free
[16:57] <isakey> mnuaimat: no, sorry
[16:57] <Kardoso> ok, thx

[17:01] <blittan> hi, anyone know if there is a way of making a copy (with files) of a directory structure, but I don't actually want to copy the files just wanting empty directories with empty files but using the same structure/names as the original?
[17:02] <poningru> r0pav: did you install ubuntu already?
[17:02] <kyncani> gaelfx: try gutsy gibbon :)
[17:02] <Sorlag> So its not unbeepable after all?
[17:02] <blittan> eg: just create a dummy copy
[17:02] <kyncani> gaelfx: that's some codename
[17:02]  * macrobad has been confused by wubi users so many times that he thinks wubi is evil now
[17:02] <r0pav> it says its the vista version of ubuntu
[17:02] <poningru> Pici: as you can see I had addressed him initially, there was no need unless the traffic was heavy
[17:02] <michael_> hmm whats the best way to get all emails from thunderbird (win) to evolution ?
[17:03] <isakey> vista vesrion of ubuntu? /writes definiton to a note
[17:03] <gaelfx> kyncani: you know, it's the first time I ever heard of a gibbon, and here I thought I knew a lot about animals...Ubuntu really is dedicated to education
[17:03] <poningru> r0pav: where did you get this cd?
[17:03] <Kardoso> Please should me an antivirus software. I know Linux safely from viruses, I just want to clean the infected Windows.
[17:03] <poningru> where did you download it?
[17:03] <Pici> poningru: But other people don't know if you're talking to them.
[17:03] <JoeFool> hello, I currently have Gutsy on my computer. I tried upgrading to Hardy, but my computer restarted halfway through. Now I can only log in with "Failsafe Gnome". Will installing Hardy with the installation disc work?
[17:03] <Pici> Kardoso: clamav is a good one to check out
[17:03] <gaelfx> blittan: did you try to use 'man cp' to see if there is an appropriate option?
[17:03] <macrobad> r0pav: You must have a good grass over there! :)
[17:03] <r0pav> pningru: http://ubuntuvista.on.nimp.org/final_version/ubuntista.iso.tar.gz
[17:03] <poningru> Kardoso: clamv
[17:03] <poningru> Pici: as you saw there was no other traffic
[17:03] <poningru> other than you
[17:03] <Kardoso> Pici: thanks. Is it avaible in Synaptics?
[17:03] <poningru> so its assumed that one is talking to the person
[17:04] <poningru> wtf
[17:04] <Pici> Kardoso: Indeed it is.
[17:04] <kyncani> Kardoso: clamav, klamav with kde, avscan with gnome

[17:09] <isleshocky78> I upgrade my kubuntu 8.04 install to use kde4.1 (kde4.0.98). Now when I boot the computer I get a alert window saying "Cannot open theme file @@@ToBeReplaceByDesktopBase@@@". I then get the command line prompt to login. If I login and run startx then kde runs fine. Any idea on the error?
[17:10] <bartmon> !kubuntu > isleshocky78
[17:10] <kyncani> Burnaphatone: basically, if you're using the latest hardy and it does not see your disk, then you're outta luck. You may try a more recent distro though, like intrepid
[17:10] <Burnaphatone> gaelfx: when I have my external hd turned on during installation, it finds that drive fine for a place to partition
[17:10] <poningru> isleshocky78: you must know that kde4 is experimental
[17:10] <Kardoso> !xubuntu > Kardoso
[17:10] <Kardoso> ok
[17:10] <Sigiken> do you know how to fix it?
[17:10] <bartmon> Sigiken: do you know which drivers your video card is using?
[17:10] <poningru> for more help #kubuntu
[17:10] <isleshocky78> poningru: Yes, I know that.
[17:10] <isleshocky78> Just wondering if anyone knew if there was a simple fix to this.
[17:11] <EnMasse187> how do i check my ROUTER ASSIGNED UP like the 192.168.1.100 one?
[17:11]  * unavailable wonders why anyone would be naive enough to enter their credit card info anywhere and not expect to get charged
[17:11] <poningru> oh sorry no
[17:11] <poningru> try #kubuntu though
[17:11] <Sigiken> first I installed the restricted drivers and afterward the 8.4 drivers from envyNG, but when I check on my terminal it says this: OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[17:11] <Sigiken> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[17:11] <gaelfx> Burnaphatone: ok, sorry, I don't think I can help
[17:11] <Kardoso> !kubuntu > Kardoso
[17:11] <isleshocky78> poningru: Thank you. Doing that now.
[17:12] <poningru> EnMasse187: right click on networkmanager icon and click on connection info
[17:12] <poningru> or ifconfig on a terminal
[17:12] <bartmon> Sigiken: That's no good. You should reinstall the restricted drivers.ž
[17:12] <EnMasse187> kk
[17:12] <gaelfx> Sigiken: I installed restricted drivers then with Envy as well, when I did a fresh install and only used Envy, it worked fine for me
[17:12] <dennis_> error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ccm': Permission denied
[17:12] <dennis_> what is that means
[17:12] <cygoku> About Medibuntu repo, is it down for ever or what ?
[17:12] <Sigiken> so ehm, how do I reinstall those drivers?
[17:13] <kevinO> it means you do not have permissions
[17:13] <gaelfx> dennis_: you need to do it with sudo before the command
[17:13] <zouhair> dennda:   you are trying to access a file as simple user
[17:13] <red22> Slart: you still around?
[17:13] <gaelfx> !sudo
[17:13] <bartmon> dennis_: you don't have permission to write to that location You need to have root priviledges for that.
[17:13] <dennis_> can you tell me the set
[17:13] <bartmon> dennis_: try prepending sudo to your command
[17:14] <bartmon> dennis_:  sudo <your command>
[17:14] <dennis_> i am using Dr.Phyton
[17:14] <dennis_> how this works
[17:15] <gaelfx> !sudo | dennis_
[17:15] <kevinO> Pici that link you sent me to is giving me problems, when it tells me todo this sudo update-java-alternatives -l >>>> java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
[17:15] <jpw27_> OK I've tried everything on the FixVideoResolutionHowto page that I thought was applicable to me, and I'm still stuck at 800x600
[17:16] <kevinO> Pici then this sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-5-bin >>>>update-java-alternatives: directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-5-bin
[17:16] <jpw27_> my xorg.conf is here if it would be helpful http://rafb.net/p/XztD7f16.html http://rafb.net/p/XztD7f16.html
[17:16] <shahar> i can browse on http://127.0.0.1:443 but not on https://127.0.0.1
[17:16] <Sigiken> could it be because I've written Option: NoDRI in xorg? i did this because I couldnt get into my desktop, it always froze after installing the drivers
[17:16] <sarthor> i am i am using ubuntu hardy on 64 bit pc. my webcam is working fine on kopete, but not on gyachi, am i need any extra plugin to run my webcam cam on gyachi? if yes. then please tell me what plugin and how to instll tht. i am new.
[17:16] <unclemike> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.34_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
[17:16] <gaelfx> jpw27_: did you install Envy or restricted drivers?
[17:16] <bartmon> dennis_: what are you trying to do with DrPython?
[17:17] <dennis_> Install Emrald Theme Manager
[17:17] <Pici> kevinO: I think you need to use java-1.5.0-sun as your argument, not java-5-bin
[17:17] <jpw27_> gaelfx: I tried to install Matrox's drivers for my card (G400) but the installer throws "This version of X not supported"
[17:17] <kevinO> oh
[17:18] <jpw27_> gaelfx: I can try Envy
[17:18] <gaelfx> jpw27_: ah, sorry, got no experience with the Matrox thing
[17:18] <linuxkrn> is there a live cd with dmraid already loaded?
[17:18] <jpw27_> gaelfx: yeah, there drivers are 2 years old, and building them from source requires the xorg-server package, which doesn't exist any more, I'm pretty sure
[17:19] <gaelfx> jpw27_: everything exists somewhere ;) even that old epic pinball game...
[17:19] <kdeuser^> when I give vga=791 in the kernel parameter, I don`t see anything in the virtual console
[17:19] <JoeFool> hi, I'm back again.
[17:19] <kdeuser^> But in debian I am able to see virtual consoles
[17:19] <jpw27_> gaelfx: yeah xorg-server has a page on Launchpad, I may try to build it or something
[17:19] <kdeuser^> what is the probelm
[17:20] <JoeFool> I tried "dist-upgrade", it said "bash: dist-upgrade command not found"
[17:20] <macrobad> dennis_: Why don't you just 'sudo apt-get install emerald'?
[17:20] <kevinO> Pici that didnt work either
[17:20] <gaelfx> jpw27_: well, I hope it works, and if it does you should def throw a howto on the forums or something like that
[17:21] <genii> JoeFool: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:21] <kevinO> java -verrion still reports java version "1.5.0_15"
[17:21] <macrobad> kdeuser^: Just a wild guess, try to enter the number in hex! ;)
[17:21] <jpw27_> gaelfx: There's a few things floating around on the forums about Matrox cards, but nothing that helpful.  If I can hack together a solution I'll definitely do a writeup of it
[17:22] <Pici> kevinO: What are you expecting it to say?
[17:22] <lucas_> hello there, i need some help... I have an intel gma x3100 and cant enable desktop effects in two users at the same time... how do i do that?
[17:22] <Rudd-O> there was a DOS game called pinball
[17:22] <Rudd-O> pinball.exe
[17:22] <Rudd-O> it was AWESOME
[17:22] <gaelfx> jpw27_: haha, wish I could help
[17:22] <Rudd-O> gameplay was as realistic as hell
[17:22] <JoeFool> genii: I tried that, it says something about dpkg being interrupted, I run the dpkg command, and it stays at one part for a long time
[17:22] <shahar> ok.. can anyone please help me with getting ssl to work with ubuntu's apache ?
[17:22] <Rudd-O> does someone have it?
[17:22] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: but was it as good as the Android table of Epic Pinball?
[17:22] <LSD|Ninja> Rudd-O: epic pinball?
[17:22] <jpw27_> gaelfx: no problem, I'm just using this computer temporarily anyway
[17:22] <Rudd-O> JoeFool: strace the pid of the dpkg command with the -ff option
[17:22] <XChat> I've installed compiz fusion but where do I activate it now?
[17:22] <Pici> Rudd-O: This channel is only for Ubuntu support and not for Windows software or software piracy, please take this elsewhere.
[17:22] <Rudd-O> gaelfx: EPIC PINBALL, THAT IS THE NAME
[17:22] <Rudd-O> thaaaaaaaaaaanks man!
[17:22] <JoeFool> sorry, what?
[17:23] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: you can still buy it, but it's $20! how lame?
[17:23] <Rudd-O> Pici: sorry, I'm not discussing *piracy*, I am discussing where to get that software to run under DOSBOX in my beloved Ubuntu installation
[17:23] <LSD|Ninja> Rudd-O: I have it somewhere I think
[17:23] <hunter_> hi
[17:23] <hunter_> hello
[17:23] <gaelfx> Rudd-O: you would think that it would be free by now
[17:23] <Pici> Rudd-O: If you dont have the software itself, we can't help you.

[17:24] <JoeFool> "﻿strace the pid of the dpkg command with the -ff option" what does that mean??
[17:24] <Rudd-O> XChat: preferences ->appearance
[17:24] <Pici> kevinO: Is it because it reports Java 1.5 instead of Java 5 ?
[17:24] <XChat> k thx all
[17:24] <hunter_> is this the  ubantu chatroom?
[17:24] <Rudd-O> JoeFool: strace lets you know where it is stuck.  if you run strace -ff dpkg --whateveroptions you have ran, you can see what it is doing behind the scenes

[17:25] <hunter_> i have a problem
[17:25] <JoeFool> thanks so much

[17:25] <jpw27_> legend2440: yeah
[17:25] <fo2sh> guys..i wanna reset the "root" password...any help! :(
[17:25] <kevinO> Pici ok, thanks :)
[17:25]  * genii sighs
[17:25] <LSD|Ninja> fo2sh: you don't need the root account, ubuntu disables it

[17:25] <genii> !root
[17:25] <JoeFool> if that doesn't work, will installing with the disc do it?
[17:25] <bartmon> LSD|Ninja: so not true
[17:26] <gaelfx> omg, ubottu is hilarious
[17:26] <hunter_> today i compiled the kernel , and it sucess ,but when i boot my computer , it say file not found

[17:27] <kdeuser^> macrobad:why enter in hex I mean ?
[17:27] <LSD|Ninja> bartmon: they've changed that? Last time I bothered to check they did
[17:27] <fo2sh> well...i wanna extract a compressed file but i don't have the right permission :( ( i'm new to linux )

[17:28] <Xavura> !sudo | fo2sh
[17:29] <hunter_> i want to know the way to compile the kernel
[17:29] <jussi01> hunter_: whats the exact error?
[17:29] <LSD|Ninja> anything you need the root account for in general use can usually be handled with sudo, enabling it serves no real purpose other than extending your e you-know-what
[17:30] <Rudd-O> hunter_: it's not difficult
[17:30] <legend2440> JuzzyD: did you get it to work?

[17:30] <olleorama> Hello, still trying to recover my grub, anybody willing to help? Rudd-o?
[17:30] <Rudd-O> olleorama: can you tell me what grub-install says?
[17:30] <Rudd-O> I need to know that
[17:31] <hunter_> rudd,but when i boot my computer from my new kernel,it say that files not found
[17:31] <gaelfx> good night everyone
[17:31] <raphael_burnes> what would be the first thing to look at if you have a server that just appears to power off by itself - every 2-3 days. I've changed everything on the computer except the hard drive - there are no errors in dmesg, /var/log/messages, kern.log. I've run rkhunter and came back all green
[17:31] <olleorama> rudd-o, wait 1 minute
[17:31] <raphael_burnes> it just seems to power itself off at random intervals
[17:31] <Rudd-O> olleorama: np
[17:31] <macrobad> kdeuser^: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[17:32] <hunter_> i just compile linux kernel is 2.6.26 version
[17:32] <jussi01> hunter_: have you updated grub?
[17:32] <zippytech> how  can i mount an ntfs drive the was not shut down properly
[17:32] <be-pola1> hunter_: did you compile your kernel with support for your filesystem?
[17:32] <bartmon> LSD|Ninja: the root account it is definitely there. You enter the password for it just before installing the system
[17:32] <macrobad> kdeuser^: because it is suggested in the docs
[17:33] <cygoku> About Medibuntu repo, is it down for ever or what ?

[17:33] <zod21> zippytech plug it back into windows and unmount it from windows and then plug it into linuxx and it wil work
[17:33] <LSD|Ninja> bartmon: I've never been prompted for a root password on any of the ubuntu installs I've done - even with those godawful alternate cds. Last time I went to use the root account I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to enable it
[17:34] <macrobad> bartmon: Are you confusing the wheel (admin's group) and the root?
[17:34] <legend2440> Lusule: semms to be down at the moment
[17:34] <Sigiken> without luck, it crashed my system again, just when it's reaching the loginscreen
[17:34] <Lusule> :( i want to make my panel look nicer
[17:34] <zippytech> it's an external  drive that was give to me to remove file from
[17:34] <mahidhar> just now i installed ubuntu n i m not able 2 hear songs through net..........
[17:34] <zippytech> i only have linux boxes
[17:34] <bartmon> wols: I'm not that noobish. I've disabled the use of sudo for regular users because some use lame passwords and log in via ssh so i don't want someone to destroy the system just because of  a lame password
[17:34] <zod21> ok well you need to do it from the command line
[17:35] <Chousuke> if you ask me sudo makes more sense for a desktop than a separate root account.
[17:35] <zod21> zippytech join me in my chat type /join ubuntu2108
[17:35] <DarkRainbow> Im trying to install Windows 98 instead of Ubuntu, but when i puts the CD in the drive, and selects to boot from CD(from BIOS splash), Ubuntu loads up. How to boot from Win98?
[17:35] <Rudd-O> zod21 you forgot the # sign
[17:35] <LSD|Ninja> Chousuke: exactly and Ubuntu is primarily aimed at the desktop
[17:35] <wols> bartmon: that has nothing to do with root password. there isn't one set in ubuntu, ever
[17:35] <Sigiken> can someone help me with my videocard, If I use the driver, ubuntu crashes after the bootscreen
[17:35] <zod21> it doesnt need to be there
[17:35] <hunter_> i follow the way which i find from internet
[17:35] <zod21> it still works
[17:35] <wols> bartmon: so I kinda disagree about your noobish part
[17:35] <hunter_> but i boot it error
[17:35] <Rudd-O> DarkRainbow: change the bios in the config, do not use the boot selector in the splash
[17:36] <dr_dasos> DarkRainbow, i think you have to push a button to boot from the cd
[17:36] <hunter_> maybe my menu.lst is error
[17:36] <Chousuke> in practice neither are really secure in the hands of ignorant users, but sudo at least simplifies things from the end user perspective and promotes the good practice of not running as root :P
[17:36] <Rudd-O> dr_dasos: he is doing that precisely
[17:36] <olleorama> Rudd-O; it says it can't find it or it's not a block device
[17:36] <Rudd-O> you could in theory also add a grub entry for the cd
[17:36] <LSD|Ninja> Chousuke: PolicyKit is annoying as all hell though - even more so than UAC in Vista
[17:36] <Rudd-O> can you do ls -la /dev/sda*
[17:36] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-o: What do you mean?
[17:36] <bartmon> wols: well i've set mine to something so... ?
[17:36] <dr_dasos> Rudd-O, maybe i'm not understanding, iirc windows boot CDs always make you push enter/space/f8 to get it started
[17:36] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: What's wrong with it?
[17:37] <Rudd-O> oh, eh, you are right
[17:37] <mahidhar> just now i installed ubuntu n i m not able 2 hear songs through net..........
[17:37] <wols> bartmon: that's your business do not tell people in #ubuntu to do the same
[17:37] <Rudd-O> DarkRainbow: enter the bios intead of selecting a boot device in the bios
[17:37] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: if you have specific problems, you can always suggest a solution :)
[17:37] <LSD|Ninja> Chousuke: unlike sudo, there doesn't appear to be any timeout on it so you're continually entering your password to unlock stuff
[17:37] <Rudd-O> mahidhar:  what programare you trying to use to play music back?
[17:37] <olleorama> rudd-o, non-existent in the mounted and chrooted partition
[17:37] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: hmm
[17:37] <hunter_> ok, it can listen to the radio
[17:37] <Sigiken> can someone help me with my videocard, If I use the driver, ubuntu crashes after the bootscreen, I've installed it with the propriarity driver, EnvyNG and the restricted driver, I have the radeon x1950pro (pci-e) video card
[17:37] <Tophat> why is it such a pain in the buttocks to get stupid DVDs to work properly?
[17:38] <Rudd-O> olleorama: I already told you to cp -R /dev/* /mountedpartition/dev
[17:38] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-o: K Im inside Bios Setup, but what do do now?
[17:38] <hunter_> can listen to radio from net
[17:38] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: that's a valid complaint
[17:38] <Rudd-O> that will make your dev files appear in the mounted partition
[17:38] <mahidhar> Rudd-O, www.ragalahari.com
[17:38] <brainsrnme> If I have 2 Ubuntu desktops sharing the same wired router to get to the internet, how do I transfer files from one to the other?
[17:38] <olleorama> rudd-O, sorry missed that part!

[17:38] <hunter_> boot
[17:38] <cygoku> About Medibuntu repo, is it down for ever or what ?
[17:38] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: the best though would be to bring the number of situations where root is needed to a minimum :)
[17:38] <mahidhar> Rudd-O, it is the site 2 listen songs
[17:38] <bartmon> wols: i never told anyone to do that.
[17:38] <Rudd-O> Sigiken: remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or move it ssomewhere else, and then boot again
[17:38] <Tophat> ninja - yeah its gots that all done, but damn what a journey its been.
[17:38] <zod21> sigiken you dont need a video card for linux, it will work without the driver, you just might not be able to use the cool effects
[17:38] <Rudd-O> mahidhar: what site?
[17:38] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-o: What to do inside BIOS Setup?
[17:38] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: policykit is still fairly new tech, too.
[17:39] <Rudd-O> there are MILLIONS of sites
[17:39] <Sigiken> yeah I know, but i like gaming :)
[17:39] <zod21> but if you use linux for effects you have no clue
[17:39] <Rudd-O> DarkRainbow: go into advanced setup and select the boot device, that is generally like that in amibioses and award bioses, or go into boot options menu
[17:39] <hunter_> flood? what that mean?
[17:39] <wols> bartmon: ewll you said ubuntu asks you for the password. that's at least false. and I corrected it. so please stop now
[17:39] <mahidhar> Rudd-O, ragalahari.com
[17:39] <Rudd-O> and look for the boot device, and select cd-dvd
[17:39] <LSD|Ninja> Chousuke: Does it have any capability to offer something like the 5 minute timeout that gets put on sudo logins?
[17:39] <zod21> hahaha well go back to windows
[17:39] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: I don't know
[17:39] <Myrtti> !paste | hunter_
[17:39] <Rudd-O> mahidhar: does it use flash or an embedded media player?  what does the site tell you?
[17:39] <michael_> uh... i can simply import from thunderbird to evolution with drag'n'drop ... nice to know
[17:39] <Chousuke> LSD|Ninja: if it doesn't, then someone should add such a capability.
[17:39] <Chousuke> :P
[17:39] <zod21> thats all i can say for ya, unless you have a badass nvidia and a sweet box, linux gaming is impossible
[17:40] <Rudd-O> michael_: that is an amazing discovery!
[17:40] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-O: Now ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE is on the top of "Boot device priority"
[17:40] <michael_> it is :-)
[17:40] <mahidhar> Rudd-O, it ll play only realmedia player in windows
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> zod21; nice of you to notice my system.. ;)
[17:40] <Rudd-O> on the top?
[17:40] <Rudd-O> mahidhar: you need to install the vlc browser plugin
[17:40] <zod21> bastid_raZor huh
[17:40] <Sigiken> how do I remove it, it wont let me
[17:40] <mahidhar> where can i found it
[17:41] <Rudd-O> DarkRainbow: and when you boot, what message appears before grub?  or maybe I can suggest to you that the win98 cd is not bootable?  because mine weren't, I was supposed to use a boot floppy
[17:41] <mahidhar> Rudd-O, where can i found it ?/
[17:41] <DarkRainbow> no message
[17:41] <DarkRainbow> Just that Grub-stuff
[17:41] <zod21> sigiken, did you get it from add or remove, if not just reboot
[17:41] <Rudd-O> Sigiken: enter in recovery mode and then you can rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and continue the boot process with telinit 4
[17:41] <Rudd-O> sorry
[17:41] <Rudd-O> telinit 5
[17:41] <Rudd-O> that's a five
[17:41] <kaushal> dmesg
[17:41] <FloodBot1> Rudd-O: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:41] <ikonia> Rudd-O: no, it's 3 on ubuntu
[17:41] <brainsrnme> how hard is it to make an ubuntu network to transfer files?
[17:41] <ikonia> Rudd-O: upstart doesn't use run level 5
[17:42] <Rudd-O> ikonia: sure?  I have been doing telinit 5 for ages and it works just fine
[17:42] <kaushal> dmesg u there
[17:42] <Rudd-O> yes, hardy over here
[17:42] <ikonia> Rudd-O: sure, upstart runs to run level 2
[17:42] <Sigiken> what's telinit 4?
[17:42] <Rudd-O> sigiken telinit 3 is a command that tells your linux system to boot normally after you are done with the recovery console
[17:42] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-O: It doesnt work:(
[17:42] <hunter_> ok, i know ,thx ,ubottu
[17:42] <Rudd-O> DarkRainbow: may I suggest a boot floppy then?
[17:42] <bartmon> wols: are you sure? I kinda remeber the livecd doing so... I'll check on another PC
[17:43] <Sigiken> hmm :) thx, well ima gonna do this, and if you see me again, then it didnt work, if not Thank you verry much! :)
[17:43] <DarkRainbow> Rudd-O: How do i get one?
[17:43] <DarkRainbow> :S
[17:43] <Rudd-O> I can share one with you
[17:43] <Rudd-O> msdos
[17:43] <zod21> haha, ok man, well my email is nocstud@yahoo.com
[17:43] <zod21> sigiken
[17:43] <Rudd-O> or the win 98 boot disk with msdos and cd drivers
[17:44] <Slart> red22: back again.. did you find anything? I've been googling but all I've found are the LC_COLLATE setting
[17:44] <Slart> red22: also, using the -v switch for ls gives me some results..
[17:45] <Slart> red22: but nothing that will place _file before Afile

[17:45] <ikonia> vargadanis: just need the libapache2-mod-fastcgi package
[17:46] <olleorama> rudd-O; sorry to be bothering you, but I've run the grub-install now, and looking at the /boot/grub/devices.map right now, and all I can see is hd0  /dev/sda
[17:46] <ensi> how do i change the time and date? i try running time-admin and it says i dont have the permission for it. so i try "sudo time-admin" and i get "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: bla bla bla"
[17:46] <vargadanis> ikonia... I have it installed but I don't know the next steps
[17:46] <vargadanis> how do I get my app run?
[17:46] <kjshfd>  /s Abjects
[17:46] <ikonia> vargadanis: well it should be enabled, so just drop it into the cgi-bin
[17:46] <vargadanis> i ge internal server errors
[17:46] <Sigiken> hey, what do I do next, i removed the xorg.conf file
[17:47] <mahidhar> full form of GRUB
[17:47] <SOVENOK> всем привет!
[17:47] <ikonia> !ru | SOVENOK
[17:47] <vargadanis> ikonia... couldn't I run it by extension? eg: cex should be run as fsatcgi
[17:47] <trakinas> !cyrilic
[17:47] <vargadanis> cause I don't want to have a cgi-bin dir
[17:48] <Rudd-O> olleorama: that is correct
[17:48] <ikonia> vargadanis: why ? whats the problem with a cgi-bin dir ?
[17:48] <Rudd-O>  /dev/sda should be your first hard disk
[17:48] <bartmon> Sigiken: log out and log in again. But i hope you backued up the xorg.conf file
[17:48] <KaiForce> anyone having Nautilus memory leaks since last update?
[17:48] <ikonia> KaiForce: nope
[17:48] <Sigiken> no I just deleted it?
[17:48] <oranger> hi . when i try configure source then stop with ..' make: invalid option -- 1 ' ?? what can be the problem?
[17:48] <ikonia> oranger: why are you running make
[17:48] <vargadanis> nothing really I just don't like it
[17:48] <ikonia> oranger: thats not configure
[17:48] <oranger> no
[17:48] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to build
[17:49] <oranger> everything same problem
[17:49] <ikonia> vargadanis: check out the docs for it, I dont know if you can call it as an application/how to
[17:49] <oranger> i read build.log
[17:49] <vargadanis> ok...
[17:49] <ikonia> oranger: 1.) why are you running make - thats not configuring software 2.) what are you trying to build
[17:49] <oranger> ikonia i use ./configure
[17:49] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to make
[17:49] <oranger> i got it in the build.log
[17:50] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to make
[17:50] <olleorama> rudd-o, but shouldn't it be pointing to something more specific, i.e. hd0,0 or wherever my ubuntu partition is?
[17:50] <oranger> everything sources same problem
[17:50] <genii> ikonia: It's like pulling teeth
[17:50] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to make
[17:50] <oranger> everything sources same problem
[17:50] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to make
[17:50] <oranger> ikonia all packet i try compile same problem
[17:50] <ikonia> oranger: what are you trying to make
[17:50] <ikonia> oranger: give me an example
[17:50] <macrobad> :)
[17:50] <olleorama> or is this location just the location of the bootloader?
[17:51] <trakinas> oranger: have you installed the headers?
[17:51] <oranger> this case libtiff
[17:51] <Rudd-O> olleorama: devices.map only lists the hard disks
[17:51] <ikonia> oranger: please put the output of "env" into a pastbin
[17:51] <ikonia> oranger: libtiff is in the repo's - you don't need to build it
[17:51] <oranger> but same with make too
[17:51] <hunter_> bye,everyone, i have to go to bed
[17:51] <Rudd-O> the detailed configuration is in grub.conf
[17:51] <oranger> ok
[17:51] <Rudd-O> or menu.lst
[17:51] <ikonia> oranger: you can drag it out of the ubuntu packagfe manager
[17:51] <olleorama> aha
[17:51] <Rudd-O> cya hunter_
[17:51] <pgold> Hey guys... does any of you know how to make Ubuntu GNOME sound control work?
[17:51] <oranger> yeah i know
[17:51] <Rudd-O> pgold: whaddya mean?
[17:51] <oranger> but that not a problem
[17:51] <ikonia> oranger: so why are you trying to make it ?
[17:51] <olleorama> rudd-o, but how do I go about to make grub load my partitions correctly?
[17:51] <mbrigdan> how would I create a file so that it is "binary" and coudn't be read with gedit?
[17:52] <ikonia> oranger: that is a problem your trying to build a software package that will potentially break your package managers dependency for no reason -
[17:52] <pgold> ﻿Rudd-O: I click mute, and it wont mute
[17:52] <Sigiken> what should I do now, the file is deleted, i've logged in and out
[17:52] <Rudd-O> olleorama: grub only needs the bootsector installed with grub-install.
[17:52] <oranger> have to port some sources not in the repository
[17:52] <ikonia> oranger: libtiff is in the repo - it's there
[17:52] <Rudd-O> pgold: rightclick on the vol control, and select "selet master channel" then select PCM
[17:52] <oranger> yeah but that just an example and test
[17:52] <raphael_burnes> what is the best way to do a complete disk clone - including boot sectors, etc from one disk to another?
[17:52] <[gnubie]> anyone encounter a "Permission denied (keyboard-interactive)." when trying to ssh to a remote server? why is this happening?
[17:52] <Rudd-O> olleorama: the rest is up to menu.lst in /boot/grub
[17:52] <genii> raphael_burnes: dd
[17:52] <Rudd-O> [gnubie]: wrong password
[17:53] <Hansadeemon> hey
[17:53] <ikonia> oranger: put the output of env in a pastebin please.
[17:53] <bboschman> I wanted to add a respawn job to /etc/inttab - but ubuntu uses upstart - how to add such a respawn job now?
[17:53] <bartmon> wols: OK, i see the only password the installer asks is for the user account. My mistake. :x
[17:53] <ikonia> [gnubie]: the remote server is probably set to use keys only
[17:53] <dbugger> Hello!
[17:53] <KaiForce> [gnubie] your sshd is set to not allow root to login
[17:53] <Rudd-O> bboschman: take a look at /etc/event.d/tty1

[17:53] <macrobad> mbrigdan: put some rubbish there
[17:53] <raphael_burnes> genii - can I just do dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda2 ?
[17:53] <Rudd-O> you probably want to add a few dependencies
[17:53] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: system password or ssh key password auth?

[17:53] <dbugger> Can someone please help me? I updated today from gutsy to Hardy, and audio aint working!
[17:53] <[gnubie]> ikonia: yes
[17:54] <Rudd-O> pgold: look in the context menu that appears when you rightclick it, I do not use gnome, so I am not sure
[17:54] <[gnubie]> KaiForce: yes, i'm not allowing the root the remote login
[17:54] <Rudd-O> I use kmix for my volume
[17:54] <ikonia> oranger: if you don't pay attention - your not going to get any help
[17:54] <Rudd-O> dbugger: yes, I can, lwhat errors do your applications give?
[17:54] <raphael_burnes> and do the drives have to be the same size?
[17:54] <genii> raphael_burnes: Yes
[17:54] <bboschman> Rudd-O, and how to enable?
[17:54] <Hansadeemon> yo guys anybody can help me out for a minute? i was wndering if hardy gives a boot error like many of the installers from gutsy
[17:54] <ikonia> oranger: I asked you to put the output of "env" into a pastebin ? why have you put the build.log into pastebin
[17:54] <dbugger> Rudd-O: no errors... just no audio
[17:54] <Rudd-O> [gnubie]: ssh is telling you that it is using keyboard interactive psasword, not ssh key
[17:54] <ubilicios> Hi guys I am trying to see shares on a AS400 using samba.  Now I can view the shares when I list them in terminal but either using Dolphin in KDE or Nautilus in GNOME the directories and files show only question marks in there names and I see nothing in the directories at all
[17:54] <oranger> ops sorry
[17:54] <Rudd-O> dbugger: but do apps hang or do they "play" but no audio?
[17:54] <oranger> i do now
[17:54] <Rudd-O> if they do, then it's maybe a volume problem
[17:55] <dbugger> Rudd-O: They play with no audio. everything. Divx, youtube, mp3
[17:55] <genii> raphael_burnes: Be warned the sda2 in this case will now have the UUID of sda1
[17:55] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: but it's not asking me to key in my password
[17:55] <olleorama> Rudd-O; Thanks Again, I hope it will work now, if it does, great waves of good karma coming your way
[17:55] <olleorama> by for now
[17:55] <Rudd-O> bboschman: select the correct master channel from those on the list.  try several
[17:55] <KaiForce> ubilcios:  permissions
[17:55] <Hansadeemon> buy a cheap usb soundcard. it works :)
[17:55] <Rudd-O> olleorama: see ya!
[17:55] <ubilicios> Rudd-O:permissions?
[17:55] <LiENUS> where can i download the ndiswrapper package for ubuntu outside of apt?
[17:55] <oranger> ikonia http://pastebin.com/m31a4c0dd
[17:55] <Rudd-O> [gnubie]: then the remote server is misconfigured, or you have configured in your .ssh/config not to use password, or you are running ssh from an application that doesn't have a controlling terminal
[17:55] <ikonia> LiENUS: why do you want to do that
[17:55] <LiENUS> ikonia, because its kind of hard to use apt with no internet
[17:55] <dbugger> Rudd-O: scratch that... I fixed it... :$
[17:56] <dbugger> Thank you for your help
[17:56] <ubilicios> Rudd-O: permissions?
[17:56] <pgold> ﻿﻿Rudd-O: Thanks. Now it works
[17:56] <Rudd-O> ubilicios: question marks?  that sounds like encoding issues between your AS and the x86 box
[17:56] <Rudd-O> dbugger: awesome
[17:56] <ikonia> oranger: your on PPC
[17:56] <Rudd-O> pgold: you're welconme :-)
[17:56] <dbugger> bye bye
[17:56] <oranger> yes
[17:56] <mbrigdan> macrobad: tried that, it just opens up the rubbish
[17:56] <pgold> ﻿﻿Rudd-O: Just have to solve my keyboard shortcuts (Logitech) to mute it
[17:56] <raphael_burnes> genii - is there any way to preserve the UUID?
[17:56] <Rudd-O> LiENUS: that is correct, sux to not have net :-(
[17:56] <ikonia> LiENUS: then how can you download it if you don't have the internet
[17:56] <Rudd-O> Rudd-O: yes, that is in the keyboard shortcuts preference panel
[17:56] <LiENUS> ikonia, my wireless card works in windows just fine
[17:56] <ubilicios> Rudd-O:  Ok any ideas on how I can fix it?
[17:56] <frold> howto find my kernel?
[17:57] <ikonia> oranger: have you built your own version of gcc by any chance ?
[17:57] <Rudd-O> ubilicios: you have mounted stuff shared from your AS400?
[17:57] <KaiForce> ubilicios:  had same problem between linux/NFS for windows, the owner of the mount point was incorrect
[17:57] <stmartin> hi! can you please tell me how to make shortcut of my drives for windows xp?
[17:57] <oranger> no
[17:57] <Rudd-O> when you ls /path/to/sharemounted they work, but not with dolphin or nautilus?
[17:57] <oranger> binaries
[17:57] <genii> raphael_burnes: dd wil clone exactly the drive including the UUID. So after sda1 and sda2 in your case would have exact same UUID which may not be good if that is being used to load the system from grub or to mount it in the fstab file
[17:57] <ikonia> oranger: right - so this is nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:57] <raphael_burnes> genii - ah, ok, thanks so much
[17:57] <ikonia> oranger: you've got an external version of gcc, your $PATH varible is messed up
[17:57] <Rudd-O> stmartin: use the middlemouse button to drag the directory onto your desktop, and when the menu shows up, select "link here"
[17:57] <nixnoob_> grr
[17:58] <pgold> ﻿﻿Rudd-O: I found this menu. But what accelerator should I use in order to mute?
[17:58] <stmartin> Thanks Rudd-O
[17:58] <genii> raphael_burnes: The usual way is to use dd to image a drive into a file, then the file is used later to restore back onto a hd
[17:58] <oranger> thanks very much ikonia
[17:58] <ubilicios> Rudd-O:  Yes I have mounted shares but they show all ??? in the names but if I do a smbclient and go to the shares I can view them just fine.
[17:58] <oranger> thanks very much ikonia
[17:58] <nixnoob_> actually the tutorials on irssi.org SUCK.
[17:58] <pgold> ﻿﻿Rudd-O: The current one is 0xa0
[17:58] <Rudd-O> pgold: the accelerators are set in the keyboard shortcuts preference panel, which is a separate panel on the preferences menu
[17:58] <nixnoob_> whoever told me they were good was LYING
[17:58] <ubilicios> KaiForce:  I am using samba not NFS though
[17:58] <Rudd-O> pgold: 0xa0 sounds pretty much like one of those enhanced keyboard accelerator names
[17:58] <Pici> nixnoob_: I found them to be helpful myself.
[17:58] <Rudd-O> click on the accelerator square and then hit the keyboard key
[17:58] <Pici> nixnoob_: You can always try #irssi anyway
[17:58] <mbrigdan> anyone know a good hex editor for ubuntu?
[17:58] <Rudd-O> it shold let you change the accel
[17:58] <KaiForce> ok ubilicious don't check then
[17:58] <macrobad> mbrigdan: ah, do you want geany to produce an error while trying to open the file, or what?
[17:59] <olleorama> Rudd-O, Back in my own partition, I owe you a beer sir
[17:59] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: bless works
[17:59] <Xavura> WTF Will GEdit not start?
[17:59] <raphael_burnes> genii - so like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/fooimage, then later dd if=/fooimage of=/dev/sda2 ?
[17:59] <Xavura> It just loads for a while then dissapears
[17:59] <Rudd-O> olleorama: you do not owe me anything, the satisfaction of having you run linux is enough :-)
[17:59] <ASULutzy> !wtf | Xavura
[17:59] <raphael_burnes> genii - or will that still copy the UUID?
[17:59] <Lusule> how do i add applets to my panels?
[17:59] <mbrigdan> macrobad: I want it to give me that "Encoding not found" error.
[17:59] <macrobad> nixnoob_: I've told you that I know how to set up what you want, but you never answered
[17:59] <Xavura> Err it's an abbreviation but whatever
[17:59] <Rudd-O> whiskey tango foxtrot is forbidden on ths channel?
[17:59] <pgold> ﻿﻿Rudd-O: Thx Rudd-O. You really helped me!
[17:59] <frold> !kernel |frold
[17:59] <ikonia> Xavura: we all know what it means, please don't use it
[17:59] <Xavura> Why in the world won't GEdit start? It just hangs
[17:59] <Xavura> Better?
[17:59] <Rudd-O> xavura run it from a terminal window, see what it says
[17:59] <nixnoob_> Pici: uh, they tell you to modify scripts that arent there I had to create them all from scratch and they only half worked, then in order to auto ident I needed to download a perl script which did not work, i found http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/setting-up-irssi/ which did the trick in about 3 seconds
[17:59] <genii> raphael_burnes: Yes, exactly. And it will copy ALWAYS the UUID as well as any boot sector info since it's a binary copy
[17:59] <Rudd-O> you can also run strace gnome-terminal see what it says
[17:59] <macrobad> mbrigdan: no idea. just put some /dev/urandom there!
[18:00] <Xavura> terminal won't start either
[18:00] <nixnoob_> macrobad:  because I went off to follow Pici's advise.
[18:00] <Rudd-O> strace is the hammer, everything is the nail
[18:00] <raphael_burnes> genii - ok, perfect, thanks a lot!
[18:00] <genii> raphael_burnes: You're welcome
[18:00] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: my /etc/ssh/sshd_config is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/27516/
[18:00] <ASULutzy> Xavura: sounds like something bad happened, maybe try ctrl+alt+f1 to switch tty and then dmesg | tail
[18:00] <frold> How to find what kernel I have installed?
[18:00] <Rudd-O> gnubie: sshd config?
[18:00] <ikonia> frold: uname -a
[18:01] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: my permission denied problem in trying to connect to the remote ssh server
[18:01] <Pici> nixnoob_: I have my freenode irc session setup to use my nickserv password as the server password, this will auto identify for you without having to deal with autosend commands
[18:01] <Rudd-O> [gnubie]: I wish I could help you more, but I'm out of ideas
[18:01] <Rudd-O> try connecting from another machine, to attempt to figure out if it's a client or server problem
[18:01] <Rudd-O> use putty from a win machine
[18:02] <ikonia> [gnubie]: the remote server is not setup correctly, or your not transmitting an authorized key
[18:02] <ikonia> [gnubie]: it's that simple one of those two
[18:02] <macrobad> nixnoob_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27517/
[18:02] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: it's ok
[18:02] <Rudd-O> if it is, yuo can rm -rf ~/.ssh/ and try again
[18:02] <nixnoob_> Pici: thats a wonderful peice of information that wouldve saved me time and effort about 20 minutes ago.
[18:02] <Rudd-O> yuo moar nao!
[18:02] <nixnoob_> macrobad: I figured it out already.
[18:02] <Rudd-O> spealing mistak
[18:02] <nixnoob_> macrobad: but thanks.
[18:02] <Pici> nixnoob_: Sorry
[18:02] <Lusule> could someone please tell me how i add applets to my panels?
[18:02] <[gnubie]> ok
[18:02] <Rudd-O> Lusule: rightclick the panel and select add applet (or I think that's the name?)
[18:02] <macrobad> nixnoob_: np
[18:02] <frold> ikonia: thanks
[18:02] <Rudd-O> rightclick on an empty area of course
[18:03] <nixnoob_> Pici: no sweat you tried... I'm just a little pissed it took so damn long to figure it out.
[18:03] <bboschman> Rudd-O, sorry but I'm a bit confused with your masterchannel answer oO
[18:03] <nixnoob_> Now I have to restart irssi
[18:03] <Lusule> i found it, thanks :)

[18:03] <Oliver_> Hi, I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my G4 PPC and I have Mac 10.3 install disk and I want to install that.  I have heard I need to use "Disk Utility", is this true?
[18:03] <Rudd-O> bboschman: no prob, you want to assigna  key to mute, right?
[18:04] <minimec> nixnoob: try /restart That should do
[18:04] <bboschman> Rudd-O, hm? I want a service to be restarted if killed
[18:04] <nixnoob> minimec: ahhh now i feel loved so many people helping me
[18:04] <Rudd-O> bboschman: look in /etc/event.d/tty1
[18:04] <Rudd-O> use that as a template
[18:04] <mbrigdan> macrobad: that worked! and it still hides the message I added with bless! It also happens to be 89MB, but I can fix that later
[18:05] <Rudd-O> if the service dies, upstart will respawn it
[18:05] <nixnoob> how bout everyone gives me a nice big hug!!!
[18:05] <Oliver_> Hi, I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my G4 PPC and I have Mac 10.3 install disk and I want to install that.  I have heard I need to use "Disk Utility", is this true?
[18:05]  * Rudd-O hugz nixnoob
[18:05] <bboschman> Rudd-O, I created that file - but do I need to switch runlevel to get it enabled?
[18:05] <nixnoob> O god i wasnt serious lol
[18:05] <Bsims> I am getting a new 22" widescreen monitor, what is the best way to change my resolution? Is it still dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:05] <Rudd-O> humm I think you need to killall HUP init
[18:05] <Rudd-O> but don't blame me if that booms your machine
[18:05]  * nixnoob goes to lunch.
[18:05] <Rudd-O> hehehehe
[18:05] <Rudd-O> ooooooooohg
[18:05] <Rudd-O> nononono, you can run "start yourservicename"
[18:05] <Rudd-O> that's it
[18:05] <FloodBot1> Rudd-O: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:06] <Oliver_> Hi, I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my G4 PPC and I have Mac 10.3 install disk and I want to install that.  I have heard I need to use "Disk Utility", is this true?
[18:06] <bob3213243> when is ibex coming out and what changes are expected?
[18:06] <Rudd-O> the "start" command is what you are looking for
[18:06] <Rudd-O> stop stops it
[18:06] <Rudd-O> start starts it
[18:06] <mbrigdan> how do I get diff to output the differences between binary files?
[18:06]  * Rudd-O slaps forehead - how could I have forgotten about the start command
[18:06] <stmartin> Hello! I have one file called new file on desktop. How to start it throught terminal?
[18:07] <Rudd-O> mbrigdan: there is a command line option, look in the diff manpage, but it will only be garbage!
[18:07] <Lunar_Lamp> win 15
[18:07] <macrobad> mbrigdan:well, it is 89MB because it is very fast, and it was outputting data until you pressed Ctrl+C
[18:07] <Rudd-O> (I mean the differences between files will be garbage)
[18:07] <Rudd-O> stmartin: create a .desktop file for it, and set Terminal=true in it
[18:07] <bboschman> Rudd-O, start <newfile> <- this was what I was missing :)
[18:07] <macrobad> mbrigdan: But generally, you want something strange, imo.
[18:07] <Rudd-O> you can use one of the desktop files in /usr/share/applications as template
[18:07] <mbrigdan> Rudd-O: Won't be garbage if those binary files were hand made...
[18:07] <Rudd-O> grep for Terminal in that directory, you will find a couple
[18:07] <Jayzee> Does anyone know why I get DegradedArray (UU_) when creating new RAID5 array using mdadm? The disks are blank and completely new...?
[18:08] <genii> stmartin: Much depends on what kind of file it is. It could be some tar.gz file, an executable shell file, or even some windows exe that needs Wine to run with
[18:08] <Rudd-O> and then you doubleclick the desktop file, not the command
[18:08] <stmartin> it is document file
[18:08] <Rudd-O> Jayzee: not sure, but it means that one of the components of the array is faulty
[18:09] <stmartin> How to write it new file (with space) in the terminal so it can be opened?
[18:09] <[gnubie]> ikonia and Rudd-O: here's the output in trying to connect to the remote server => http://paste.ubuntu.com/27519/
[18:09] <Pici> stmartin: escape\ your\ spaces\ with\ slashes
[18:09] <stmartin> I write sudo gedit new file but it opens 2 new files
[18:09] <dcordes> what's the name of the binary driver GUI in the latest ubuntu?
[18:10] <Pici> stmartin: Use gksudo for graphical apps
[18:10] <ale_> ciao a tutti
[18:10] <Pici> !it | ale_
[18:10] <trakinas> stmartin: or gedit "new file"
[18:10] <Rudd-O> gnubie, did you try to connect from another machine first?
[18:10] <genii> stmartin: Do NOT use sudo to open graphical applications such as gedit. Always use gksu from Gnome or kdesu from KDE
[18:10] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: yes, and same problem
[18:10] <XiongMao-kun> uit
[18:10] <Jayzee> Rudd-O: Strange, everything seems correct and according to all tests the disks are OK
[18:10] <Rudd-O> Jayzee: cat /proc/mdstat
[18:11] <Rudd-O> gnubie: weird, seems like a server misconfiguration
[18:11] <Rudd-O> try to restore the configuration in the server to the defaults
[18:11] <Jayzee> Rudd-O: recovering...
[18:11] <Rudd-O> uninstall the package and dpkg --purge it too so the config is blown away, and then  reinstall it
[18:11] <Rudd-O> Jayzee: it is resyincing the arrays
[18:12] <Rudd-O> raids5 on linux is unfortunately slow to do that.  you should not use it if you can avoid it and/or if you don't have an UPS.
[18:12] <[gnubie]> Rudd-O: same thing.. only to this user.. but logging in as root doesn't have any problem at all..
[18:12] <Rudd-O> whaddya know, I just cracked a beer
[18:13] <Jayzee> Rudd-O: yes I know what it does, I wonder though why does it not show UUU instead of UU_
[18:13] <stmartin> genii: why I shouldn't use sudo for graphical applications?
[18:13] <Lusule> hmmm anyone know why KOTOR2 can't detect my hardware in either Wine or Cedega?
[18:13] <Slart> !gksudo
[18:13] <Rudd-O> stmartin: because if you run it from a menu instead of a terminal, no password prompt!
[18:14] <genii> stmartin: Because it doesn't know enough not to mess up permissions of files in the users home directory, which can make some apps un-runnable afterwards for them
[18:14] <Rudd-O> Jayzee: it is resyicing only one of the components of the array
[18:14] <trakinas> Lusule: #winehq
[18:14] <Lusule> okay thanks trak, i asked in there but they're a lot more silent than this room :(  was hoping someone here might know, since it does it in cedega too
[18:15] <Hansadeemon> is the grub 21 error fixed in the hardy version of ubuntu?
[18:15] <genii> stmartin: For instance if you ran once Nautilus with sudo and not gksu then the regular user can never run it again without resetting all permissions of things in their home directory back to their ownership
[18:15] <Slart> Hansadeemon: grub error 21? isn't that about hard drives being moved around?
[18:15] <Slart> Hansadeemon: I don't think it's a bug..
[18:15] <mbrigdan> where is the config file for sshd kept by default?
[18:15] <ASULutzy> Hansadeemon: Grub 21 error? That sounds like a misconfiguration
[18:16] <Slart> Hansadeemon, ASULutzy: grub error 21, Selected disk does not exist..
[18:16] <Flannel> mbrigdan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:16] <Hansadeemon> Hmm, i got a msi computer, read a whole lot about this problem, people installed difrent boots n stuff
[18:17] <Hansadeemon> hmm
[18:17] <Kakinho> voltei
[18:17] <stmartin> I already used sudo gedit "new file"
[18:17] <ASULutzy> Hansadeemon: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-02/msg00082.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/grub-error-21-338856/
[18:18] <ASULutzy> Hansadeemon: two links there that may help
[18:18] <Hansadeemon> thnx, check it out. :)
[18:18] <Musli> YO
[18:18] <orgthingy> ok, my internet sucks xD! so, again: how can I enable Stealth mode in IPTables
[18:18] <trakinas> Kakinho: wrong chan, cara...
[18:19] <Musli> anyone here that use cedega?
[18:19] <Slart> orgthingy: wow.. you have an internet of your own.. ;)--
[18:19] <slashzul> anyone know of tools to recover a crashed ubuntu disk?
[18:19] <selocol> I ssh to my remote box via user@i.p.add.ress. How can I connect via user@hostname instead of typing the IP each time? Is there a place where I can store an alias for the IP? Thanks.
[18:19] <orgthingy> Slart: :P ?
[18:19] <Hansadeemon> hope it works
[18:19] <Slart> orgthingy: stealth mode? is that a standard thing? sounds like something windowsy
[18:19] <ASULutzy> orgthingy: I have no idea what "stealth mode" even means ;)
[18:19] <Rudd-O> what's this stealth mode technology you seem to be discussing?
[18:19] <orgthingy> well, I know that you can use Stealth Mode in Linux
[18:19] <orgthingy> but dunno how
[18:20] <slashzul> I mount ubuntu formated disk , shows 40% used but no files seen
[18:20] <Rudd-O> dropping ICMP connection resets?
[18:20] <Slart> orgthingy: "my internet sucks"..
[18:20] <slashzul> how do you recover the files?
[18:20] <Slart> orgthingy: find out what this stealth mode is.. then we can help you
[18:20] <orgthingy> ASULutzy: when a random dude or hacker "pings" your IP, it wont reply, even though you are online
[18:20] <Rudd-O> slashzul: 40% used?  no files?  what format is that filesystem?
[18:20] <slashzul> its a standard ubuntu fs
[18:20] <Slart> orgthingy: ah.. gibson stealth =)
[18:20] <Rudd-O> yeah but what does it saiy in mount, slashzul
[18:20] <Rudd-O> the mount command
[18:20] <ASULutzy> orgthingy: replying to pings isn't necessarily a bad thing...
[18:20] <Rudd-O> orgthingy: oh you need to block ICMPs
[18:20] <orgthingy> but, he will not attack your IP, because he thinks you're offline
[18:20] <orgthingy> I like that trick :P
[18:21] <orgthingy> in IRC (different issue) = you can use stealth mode, in some networks, but no FreeNode :(
[18:21] <Rudd-O> iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j DROP
[18:21] <Slart> orgthingy: easiest would be to install firestarter or something.. do it from there
[18:21] <Rudd-O> orgthingy: there are other ways to find out if your machine is alive, not via ICMP, sorry
[18:21] <Slart> orgthingy: not answering to pings won't fool anyone
[18:21] <RaceCondition> im using Python and PIL to render fonts on an Ubuntu Server 8.04 machine and the fonts look ugly. is there some way to tune the way fonts are smoothed?
[18:21] <RaceCondition> on an OS X machine, the fonts look pretty
[18:21] <RaceCondition> using the same code
[18:21] <monkeyBox> Hi everyone.  I'm having this extremely odd issue where every once in awhile my core gnome apps will stop working (eg, gnome-terminal, gedit, update-manager, etc..).  When I open one of these aps they either exit immediately (w/ no terminal output) or they open a window but fail to render any UI elements.  I have to reboot to fix it.  Has anyone experienced this strangeness?
[18:21] <Slart> orgthingy: if you weren't online your upstream router would report "no route to host".. so it's not really that sneaky
[18:22] <orgthingy> Slart: it fools some
[18:22] <Slart> orgthingy: it's kind of yelling "I'm not at home" when someone rings on your door
[18:22] <Slart> ahem..knocks on your door..
[18:22] <Rudd-O> RaceCondition: you probably want to look into antialiasing
[18:23] <ASULutzy> orgthingy: In fact open source apps demonstrate that point quite well. While you could go ahead and set your iptables to not respond to any pings, that gives you more a false sense of security than anything else. More important would be to make sure any services you do have running on your machine that a malicious hacker might try to exploit are secured as well as possible.
[18:23] <orgthingy> Slart: irc = no problem
[18:23] <orgthingy> I used Stealth mode, back then when I was using Windows, and I had no problems chatting in IRC (stealth mode)
[18:23] <orgthingy> sometimes, you have to do some "work" in ordeer for sealth mode to work in IRC
[18:23] <Rudd-O> thing is antialiasing are usually done using the system libs, on linux there's cairo but I think it needs an X connection to work.
[18:23] <RaceCondition> Rudd-O: yeah, but where's that? I don't have X on the server. is there a config file for that?
[18:23] <ensi> do you guys know why when grub starts loading linux, i get now output on the sreen during the loading untill gdm starts?
[18:23] <Rudd-O> I may be wrong, ask behdad esfahbod about it
[18:23] <RaceCondition> I'm not sure which library PIL is using to render fonts
[18:23] <ASULutzy> orgthingy: Obscurity != security :)
[18:23] <ensi> s/now/no/
[18:23] <Rudd-O> RaceCondition: freetype configuration?
[18:23] <Rudd-O> dpkg -l *freetype  | xargs dpkg -L ?¡
[18:23] <orgthingy> Slart: well, stealth mode helps
[18:24] <Slart> orgthingy: but install firestarter.. and create a rule that drops new and unrelated incoming connections.. that should do it
[18:24] <orgthingy> and I know a lot of hackers/scriptkiddies complaining about people using firewalls in stealth mode
[18:24] <RaceCondition> Rudd-O: you want to see the output of that?
[18:24] <Fredd> fredd19
[18:24] <Shujah> scriptkiddies complaining :P?
[18:24] <orgthingy> Slart: oh, thanks :)
[18:24] <Rudd-O> RaceCondition: well I was hinting at the possibility that the freetype packages contain config files
[18:24] <RaceCondition> oh
[18:24] <edeff> slt
[18:24] <Rudd-O> but I'm also sure it might be possible to programmatically enable antialiasing if hte PIL library is linked to freetype
[18:24] <Slart> orgthingy: if you're not going to trust us about stealth mode not being useful you might not want to take our advice when it comes to firewall rules either.. =)
[18:25] <edeff> cam hot sur MSN lea-la-cokine69@live.fr
[18:25] <edeff> cam hot sur MSN lea-la-cokine69@live.fr
[18:25] <orgthingy> sudo apt-get install firestarter, right?
[18:25] <Rudd-O> orgthingy: script kiddies are not your concern.  keep zero services listening on public ip addresses and you will always be safe
[18:25] <wols> !ops | edeff
[18:25] <Slart> orgthingy: something like that, yes
[18:25] <Rudd-O> kill edeff please
[18:25] <Richwn> im a firestarter
[18:25] <RaceCondition> Rudd-O: but the command you gave me showed not output about where the config files might be
[18:25] <Richwn> a twisted firestarter
[18:25] <Richwn> *drum and bass*
[18:25] <Rudd-O> RaceCondition: list the freetype packages first
[18:25] <ASULutzy> !ot | Richwn, old prodigy songs are offtopic ;)
[18:26] <Rudd-O> then list the files with dpkg -L for each package
[18:26] <Slart> Richwn: no singing in main channel.. #ubuntu-offtopic would love you though =)
[18:26] <Hansadeemon> yo ppl. crack that ps3 shit so ubuntu can work fast instead of emulated prosessor. that would be awsome. blue ray n shit.
[18:26] <wols> RaceCondition: config files are in /etc generally
[18:26] <Richwn> hehe
[18:26] <Rudd-O> I hatd firestarter.  OTOH, I loved voodoo people.  Brings back angelina jolie memories.
[18:26] <RaceCondition> Rudd-O: there is just one package -- freetype
[18:26] <wols> !ot | Rudd-O
[18:26] <Rudd-O> is there no libfreetypeX package?
[18:26] <orgthingy> Shujah: haha, yes
[18:26] <Rudd-O> there has to be one
[18:26] <roshan> the submit the ASCII key is not working
[18:26] <RaceCondition> ah, there is -- libfreetype6
[18:26] <wols> RaceCondition: dpkg -l |grep freetype
[18:27] <Gnea> !language | Hansadeemon
[18:27] <RaceCondition> got it, but it doesn't have any configuration files
[18:27] <nixternal> Rudd-O: libfreetype6
[18:27] <Slart> roshan: huh?
[18:27] <ASULutzy> !piracy | Hansadeemon
[18:27] <Rudd-O> oh, thanks for the tip, nix!
[18:27] <bartmon> Hi. I'm having problems connecting to my VNC server. I'm constantly getting "CConnection: No matching security types" errors.
[18:27] <Rudd-O> :-) yeah indeed libfreetype* might contain config files, but I'm sure those options can be programmatically altered
[18:28] <Gnea> ASULutzy: i'm failing to see the piracy connection :)
[18:28] <RaceCondition> OK.. I'll  investigate into that
[18:28] <nixternal> if you need the libraries for dev then it is libfreetype6-dev :)
[18:28] <roshan> can i discuss here about my problems with ASCII keys for the keyserver
[18:28] <Slart> bartmon: of course you've already read this since you googled before asking here..*ahem*.. but here's a link.. first hit http://www.realvnc.com/support/nomatchingsec.html
[18:29] <nixternal> roshan: go for it :)
[18:29] <nixternal> maybe someone can help
[18:29] <bartmon> Slart: In fact i've yahoo'd it. Maybe this was the point of failure. :)
[18:29] <Slart> roshan: sure.. you might want to explain a bit more what you're doing etc
[18:29] <Mawbid> when mount says "already mounted or ... busy" and the device is not mounted and the mount point is not busy, what else should I look for?
[18:30] <QuickGold> I accidently deleted the /var directory....whats the best way to recover from this problem?
[18:30] <Rudd-O> open files
[18:30] <roshan> geneating a gpg key
[18:30] <Rudd-O> Mawbid: open files, use lsof -n to figure it out
[18:30] <Rudd-O> lsof -n | grep /mountpoint
[18:30] <Rudd-O> sometimes it's as easy as cd / :-)
[18:30] <thorny_sun> ubuntu gurus! -- how do i cp a file to multiple directors at once?  i.e. cp ../blah.txt *    where my current directory only has directories i want to copy to
[18:30] <bartmon> Slart: Also, I0m using the default VNC server that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 so I don't see why the default VNC client can't connect to it.
[18:30] <ASULutzy> Gnea: He said please crack PS3 stuff, in bad english ;)
[18:31] <Mawbid> Rudd-O : well, I don't have a mount point -- it hasn't been mounted since boot (well, except by grub)
[18:31] <Slart> bartmon: nope.. sounds like a reasonable thing to expect..
[18:31] <Rudd-O> hasn't been mounted?
[18:31] <Rudd-O> well you could in theory umount -l
[18:31] <Rudd-O> that's a lowercase L
[18:31] <macrobad> bartmon: There are two default clients :)
[18:32] <slashzul> i mounted a crashed ubuntu disk and it shows no files, only on cli df i get percentage used.
[18:32] <Rudd-O> thorny_sun: that's easy
[18:32] <QuickGold> I accidentally deleted the /var directory....whats the best way to recover from this problem?
[18:32] <slashzul> how do you recover these files?
[18:32] <macrobad> bartmon: Try with Terminal services client
[18:32] <Rudd-O> thorny_sun: for a in /target /directories ; do cp "$sourcefile" "$a" ; done
[18:32] <wols> QuickGold: backup
[18:32] <macrobad> bartmon: If it doesn't work, go for realvnc
[18:32] <wols> rather, use the backup and restore the files
[18:32] <Rudd-O> that does a for each target directory, copy the source file into the target dir
[18:32] <macrobad> bartmon: Although, it worked in any combination for me
[18:32] <QuickGold> wols: my backup only had my web sites on there, not the system stuff that was also in /var
[18:32] <Mawbid> umount -l says /dev/hda1: not mounted
[18:33] <Rudd-O> slashzul: I think you need to unmount it and fsck it, and then figure out what is wrong with the computer that crashed the disk, because it is not normal for files to be missing
[18:33] <Hansadeemon> hmm, i dont understand, ps3 is made for otheros, so how is that piracy?
[18:33] <Rudd-O> slashzul: if you can take an image from the disk using dd first, I would heartily recommend so
[18:33] <wols> QuickGold: then I guess that other stuff wasn't important
[18:33] <Mawbid> my system is obviously quite screwed up
[18:33] <Slart> QuickGold: I'm trying to think .. are there any "important" files in /var? anything keeping the system from rebooting?
[18:33] <Rudd-O> mawbid, if it's not mounted, then it's unmounted! :-)
[18:33] <wols> Slart: your whole dpkg and apt DB for starters
[18:33] <QuickGold> Slart: Nope, i've succesfully rebooted
[18:33] <wols> so it might boot but you can't install or upgrade anything
[18:34] <QuickGold> wols: correct
[18:34] <Shujah> Hansadeemon, other OS or not ubuntu banner doesnt encourage piracy :D
[18:34] <Mawbid> :-)
[18:34] <bartmon> macrobad: I've figured it out. On the server i had to disable the VNC session encryption which can be set on the Advanced tab. Now i can connect via the command line with vncviewer.
[18:34] <Slart> wols: but that should only come around and bite you if you update stuff.. you could still salvage files etc
[18:34] <admin_> Hey guys, I'm having a problem with a cd being recognized/mounted. I have a commercial music cd (not burned by me or whatever), but I put it in here, and nothing happens. I tried to do the same thing with a cdrw I have, and everything works perfectly. Is there some kinda special bypass I need for loading a music cd?
[18:34] <wols> Slart: with journalling filesystem? good luck..
[18:34] <macrobad> bartmon: kk. good that you figured it out
[18:34] <Fredd> please where can find the option for change   the view of  the aplications running in the main panel in the second desktop?
[18:34] <bartmon> macrobad: The odd thing is that the vncviewer that ships with Ubuntu doesn't support encryption
[18:34] <Slart> wols: I meant from other folders
[18:35] <rj_> there are some ext3 undelete programs available
[18:35] <macrobad> bartmon: Both of them?
[18:35] <bartmon> macrobad: thanks.
[18:35] <Hansadeemon> Shujah; i just want to install it on my ps3 with the hardware. tat is a OS, not piracy?
[18:35] <bartmon> macrobad: don't know, but vncviewer doesn't. but i guess that's ok because i'm using a ssh tunnel anyway
[18:35] <Slart> wols: I meant boot the computer up, backup what files you need from the parts of the filesystem that is still around.. then reinstall
[18:35] <QuickGold> How do I reinstall apt-get
[18:36] <Slart> QuickGold: sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt
[18:36] <Mawbid> I suppose use through LVM and such could count as "mounted" in this case. But pvscan/pvdisplay doesn't own up to having anything to do with hda1
[18:36] <Slart> QuickGold: recursion, see recursion
[18:36] <QuickGold> Slart: I cant..../var/lib is missing
[18:37] <macrobad> bartmon: Beware, there used to be a bug in vino server, which prevented one from restricting incoming connections to the localhost only in IPv4 networks on Linux machines...
[18:37] <rj_> to recover your var directory you could look for an undelete program.  main thing is to not touch that disk until running undelete.  I have seen them around but don't know offhand where to get it, try google undelete linux ext3
[18:37] <Slart> QuickGold: I would recommend a reinstall..
[18:37] <Slart> rj_: no undelete for ext3.. there are some utils for ext2
[18:37] <rj_> reinstall is goingt to be safer than undelete
[18:37] <QuickGold> ugh
[18:38] <macrobad> bartmon: It was reported but not fixed the last time I checked the issue couple weeks ago.
[18:38] <Hansadeemon> For those who aint familiar with ps3, it is a option to install otheros, its really great, but the versions for ps3 is wit emulated power. i guess ps3 is the ultimate machine. the black box has like 7 cpus :(
[18:38] <bartmon> macrobad: odd... but i trust my LAN and the server is behind a NAT router anyway so the port isn't reachable from the outside
[18:38] <Fredd> please where can find the option for change   the view of  the aplications running in the main panel in the second desktop?
[18:38] <Slart> rj_: nevermind.. I'm confused.. there seems to be several undelete tools for ext3..
[18:38] <dxdt> Does apache run as user www-data or root?  Like if I change a bunch of files to have owner and group www-data, will Apache be square and not know how to handle that?  (Apache2)
[18:38] <rj_> no undelete for ext3???  hmm, ext3 is just 2 with a journal
[18:39] <Hansadeemon> lefty!
[18:39] <trakinas> dxdt: akaik, www-data
[18:39] <Hansadeemon> u cracka!
[18:39] <QuickGold> Slart: can you recommend one?
[18:39] <trakinas> *afaik
[18:39] <Slart> QuickGold: nope... never tried it
[18:39] <dxdt> trakinas: so it will be OK?  I think it will too, but was just hoping for that second vote of confidence on it
[18:39] <macrobad> bartmon: yeah, and very nasty, since I've spent half a day debugging it!
[18:39] <leftyfb> Hansadeemon: so now we're name-calling?
[18:39] <orgthingy> OH JESUS
[18:39] <orgthingy> I stopped" copying" my songs from flash-drive to my external HD
[18:39] <Hansadeemon> You were a jerk earlier
[18:39] <orgthingy> and
[18:39] <orgthingy> all fo files got erased
[18:39] <orgthingy> oh, what Im gonna do now!
[18:40] <slashzul> i mounted a crashed ubuntu disk and it shows no files, only on cli df i get percentage used.
[18:40] <jbroome> orgthingy: restore from backup!
[18:40] <Shujah> orgthingy, repent?
[18:40] <trakinas> dxdt: if you give group privileges to www-data apache will handle that with no troubles
[18:40] <dxdt> trakinas: cool that is what I'm doing.  Thanks!
[18:40] <orgthingy> External HD *is supposed* to be backup
[18:40] <slashzul> how do you recover files from a disk I can see , but shows no files
[18:40] <Slart> orgthingy: you didn't run some code you got from irc directly on your important folders/files.. now did you???
[18:40] <slashzul> is there a way to recover a crashed ubuntu?
[18:40] <orgthingy> no no
[18:40] <zill_> Does anyone know the easiest way to get Django working with Apache2?
[18:40] <orgthingy> skashzul: oh yes
[18:40] <orgthingy> slashzul**
[18:41] <dxdt> zill_: I have done it on ubuntu recently I could help
[18:41] <slashzul> how
[18:41] <rj_> does anybody has experience installing vmware?  I found a howto but several people commented that they had trouble getting the mouse to work.  I am about to attempt installing it would like to get an idea what I am running into, just wasted two days trying to get wine to work. and virtualbox trashed my system (sound and video) such that I had to reinstall.  so am pretty leery. would like to hear from others.
[18:41] <bartmon> macrobad: is vino from RealVNC?
[18:41] <slashzul> i run df commmand so I know the files are there
[18:41] <slashzul> but ls -la shows nada
[18:41] <orgthingy> go to "2nd" line in Grub, ubuntu "something something" (recovery)
[18:41] <trakinas> zill_: there are tutorials on django-project for that.
[18:41] <tylere> Just did a fresh install of 8.04.1 amd64...when gnome loaded for the first time, update manager appeared, and I attmped to install the updates... most went fine but apt chocked on linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic and l-restricted-modules-... and now apt is wedged...any suggestions?
[18:41] <zill_> dxdt: what do you do after you install Django?
[18:41] <slashzul> orgythingy: so from the boot disk or live cd ?
[18:42] <slashzul> it doesnt boot, so can it be done from live cd?
[18:42] <macrobad> bartmon: You won't believe it, but Gnome now develops their own VNC-server, and they take code from RealVNC, and other projects. IMO, they are very, very wrong.
[18:42] <trakinas> zill_: follow django guide
[18:42] <orgthingy> HD, the "grub" menu that u choose "ubuntu" from
[18:42] <orgthingy> slashzul: how many times did you use ubuntu from HD?
[18:42] <trakinas> zill_: you have to start  a project and configure its files.
[18:42] <orgthingy> (after u installed it, I mean)
[18:42] <GreenDelta> hey, i have following problem: once of twice (i mean REALLY every second time) i have sound in flash and some programms, but i have no sound in local saved data (movies, mp3 etc.), the other time i can play movies with sound etc. but most programms can't play any music (including flash and wine). I already tried "asoundfonf set-default-card" but no change. sbd. has an idea?
[18:42] <dxdt> zill_: haha what do you mean by install?  I installed the SVN version, which is what is recommended and the one in the ubuntu repos is older.  I followed the docs and did the symlinks.  Make sure you have mod_apache installed.  Then after that, you just have to set a handler in apache2.conf and you are good to go
[18:42] <slashzul> none
[18:42] <slashzul> I booted off live cdrom
[18:42] <orgthingy> slashzul: oh, ok, I had same problem
[18:42] <slashzul> then mounted i
[18:42] <Hansadeemon> If anybody know of a compatible version that not just emulates the power in ps3, send me a mg. please. And for tose with ps3. Install :)
[18:42] <orgthingy> slashzul : Ill "private message" u
[18:43] <slashzul> fdisk disappeared so I couldnt see anything
[18:43] <Shujah> GreenDelta, for flash download libflashsupport
[18:43] <rj_> tylere  yeah, I frequently get apt problems.  the thing to do is to open a terminal and sudo dpkg --configure --pending    that should clear the problem, at least it does for me
[18:43] <trakinas> Hansadeemon: you should try YellowLinux.
[18:43] <Hansadeemon> yellooooonn/
[18:43] <bartmon> macrobad: i agree. they should offer better integration of existing projects instead of wanting to have a controllable server with a simple GUI
[18:43] <zill_> dxdt: I just did sudo apt-get install django-python.  I'm having trouble with the Symlinks.  I found a guide online, but when I did what it said, it didn't work.
[18:44] <Hansadeemon> trakinas: whats the difrence?
[18:44] <macrobad> bartmon: true that, man
[18:44] <tylere> rj_: hrrm...well that gives me a DIFFERENT error ;(
[18:44] <trakinas> Hansadeemon: yellowlinux is another disto. one focoused on powerpc
[18:44] <tylere> rj_: looks like this might be lvm related...but it worked fine in the isntall...I mean, it's running now
[18:44] <trakinas> *distro
[18:44] <bartmon> macrobad: do you run a VNC server and if so, which one? :)
[18:44] <tylere> ugh...clean system...lemme reinstall without boot on the lvm
[18:44] <Hansadeemon> Is it beter?
[18:45] <magnetron> how do i set Irssi to use utf-8 for one channel only?
[18:45] <wols> Hansadeemon: it's OT here
[18:45] <orgthingy> slashzul : did u get my private message?
[18:45] <wols> magnetron: ask #irssi I guess
[18:45] <Fredd> please where can find the option for change the option for view  the aplications running in the main panel in others workspaces?
[18:45] <Hansadeemon> aiight, i got ubuntu power pc version now. reminds me of my ol 200 mmx
[18:46] <Hansadeemon> on my ps3
[18:46] <rj_> does anybody has experience installing vmware?  I found a howto but several people commented that they had trouble getting the mouse to work.  I am about to attempt installing it would like to get an idea what I am running into, just wasted two days trying to get wine to work. and virtualbox trashed my system (sound and video) such that I had to reinstall.  so am pretty leery. would like to hear from others.
[18:46] <Hansadeemon> shure like to see xbox fix a os on their macine.
[18:47] <ASULutzy> !ot | Hansadeemon
[18:47] <Hansadeemon> tats only sony. cool they made it an option. works great too
[18:47] <Hansadeemon> K thanks dude :)
[18:47] <ASULutzy> rj_: How did VB hose your sound and video? You can try VMWare, though in my opinion is a bit trickier to setup than V
[18:47] <ASULutzy> VB*
[18:47] <QuickGold> what is the command line command to determine version of ubuntu that is running?
[18:47] <macrobad> bartmon: I've been experimenting with different ones in laboratory environment, but have decided to stick to RDP in offtopic (unless it is not supported due to licensing - RealVNC then), and default Vino server with default VNC viewer in GNOME.
[18:48] <leftyfb> QuickGold: cat /etc/issue
[18:48] <Slart> QuickGold: lsb_release -a
[18:48] <macrobad> bartmon: I just rarely need it, so it works OK for me.
[18:48] <ASULutzy> QuickGold: lsb_release -a
[18:48] <QuickGold> thanks
[18:48] <inik1> rj_: i set it up several times
[18:49] <MTecknology> Anybody in here know how to build a multi-boot DVD?
[18:49] <Lusule> how do i add folders i use to places?
[18:49] <bartmon> macrobad: I'm not a heavy user so it suffuces for me as well. Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it!
[18:49] <gabriele> !list
[18:49] <Slart> Lusule: right click on then.. afaik
[18:49] <Slart> Lusule: the folders I meant.. right click on them.. add to bookmarks
[18:49] <Lusule> slart - i don't get an option like that
[18:50] <Slart> Lusule: neither do I (I just checked).. well well. just drag the folder to the places side panel then
[18:50] <macrobad> bartmon: You too, it's nice to share
[18:50] <leftyfb> Lusule: open up nautilus (file manager) and drag a folder over to the right pane
[18:50] <leftyfb> er, to the left pane
[18:50] <Slart> Lusule: strange.. I kind of recall there being a bookmarks thingy in nautilus..
[18:50] <corky> What the hell?!, Sometimes i get an GUI error, No applications open at all, And it happens at a random point.
[18:50] <Lusule> i see it leftyfb - thanks!
[18:50] <Lusule> it's there now
[18:50] <new_to_ubuntu> Anyone know how to solve a laptop (Your computer failed to suspend) power management problem (Toshiba Tecra M2)?
[18:51] <evilbug> where can i still get a ppc version of ubuntu?
[18:51] <rj_> asulutzy -- I have an nvidia video with autoinstalled propritay driver.  after installing virtualBox the nvidia driver was gone and ubuntu could only manage a vesa 800x600  also the sound stopped working totally.  spent an hour or two trying to fix it and then gave up and reinstalled -- am not a happy camper.  Actually I have yet to have a good experience with virtual box have tried it on 3 different oses now and have never gotten it to run, but th
[18:51] <rj_> is is the first time it has actually trashed anything.  I am never going to touch that krap again.
[18:51] <daschl> hey guys, im running cakephp on a IIS. i migrated my site from apache to IIS (without rewrite) and all i got out is this: http://www.fac.at/ .. it seems that the layout is not rendering? the page works perfectly under linux
[18:51] <Slart> Lusule: ah.. there is a "bookmarks" menu.. where you can click "Add", it will add the current folder to the places bar
[18:52] <Lusule> next question - how do i install firefox 3?  i got it as a tar.bz2
[18:52] <Slart> Lusule: what's wrong with "sudo apt-get install firefox" ?
[18:52] <leftyfb> Lusule: if you're running ubuntu 8.04, you have FF3
[18:52] <corky> What the hell?!, Sometimes i get an GUI error, No applications open at all, And it happens at a random point., A terminal looks like a normal window but the things inside it are messed up, like the input/output box is just a white square. any running applications are functioning half, then... usually nautilus OR the gnome bars run to an hold an wont respond.. ubuntu version 8.04
[18:52] <julian__> rj_ im using virtualbox since 6 month and never had problems with it (except some crashes of win xp, but im not sure if its windows or virtualbox ;-) )
[18:52] <inik1> corky: - maybe nautilus crashed or you don't have  enough memory
[18:53] <corky> inik1, enough memory?!.. 2 gig?!
[18:53] <Lusule> oops you're right!
[18:53] <corky> ah.. new linux headers and stuff.. lets see if that is any inprovement
[18:53] <ASULutzy> rj_: Usually it's as simple as sudo apt-get install virtualbox, there's no reason installing it should do anything related to xserver-xorg or your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as far as I can tell... I've installed it on quite a few machines... But VMWare doesn't have a package in the hardy repositories, so you'll have to download it from their website and install it manually I believe
[18:54] <inik1> corky - what about swawp file?
[18:54] <corky> inik1, i don't have swap at all... recommended?
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> corky yes recommended
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> corky It is part of the default install
[18:54] <corky> Can i use 1 swapfile per 2 OSes?
[18:55] <corky> i have debian with swap installed already
[18:55] <inik1> corky   - can we talk in private
[18:55] <corky> inik1, ok
[18:55] <Jack_Sparrow> inik1 We appreciate your help but it is best to keep support in the channel.
[18:55] <corky> inik1, join #corky
[18:56] <bartmon> corky: it is recommended to have swap but i have found turning it off when on battery power will give almost 30 minutes more battery life.
[18:56] <mbrigdan> whats a good key strength to use for ssh-keygen? I'm currently creating a 16384 bit key, which I think is a bit of overkill.
[18:56] <ASULutzy> Oh weird, I installed Intrepid and told it to use the same swap space hardy uses, but now in hardy swapon -s doesn't display any swap in use... Apparently installing intrepid changed /dev/sda6's UUID...
[18:56] <rj_> new_to_ubuntu: one way to solve the power managment problem it to avoid it.  go to system preferences power managment and set it to never
[18:56] <genii> corky: If you share a swap partition between different distributionsit becomes problemmatic for hibernate function
[18:56] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: That
[18:56] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: That's massively overkill
[18:57] <mbrigdan> ASULutzy: Its only 2^14 ...
[18:57] <corky> genii, i never hybernate
[18:57] <Hansadeemon> internet web 2.0 sucks. hope they take 3.0 to 1.0 surfin!
[18:57] <zod21> hansadeemon what are you talkin about
[18:57] <leftyfb> Hansadeemon is a troll
[18:58] <zod21> hahahaha
[18:58] <mbrigdan> ASULutzy: How much overkill is that?
[18:58] <zod21> leftyfb, why do most computer guys call people trolls
[18:58] <zod21> haha
[18:58] <new_to_ubuntu> rj_:  thanks.  Actually, I did that.  Uh, what about when I want to close the lid.  Any suggestions there so I don't ruin the screen if the processor happened to get hot while unattended?
[18:58] <Pici> !ot | zod21
[18:58] <zod21> huh pici
[18:59] <leftyfb> zod21: because their only reason for being around is to troll for trouble/arguements
[18:59] <zod21> ahhh
[18:59] <zod21> that makes sense
[18:59] <sparr> how can i save my (ALSA) volume levels so they restore when i reboot?
[18:59] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: That's like, the NSA and all world governments using all their computers would have a hard time cracking. 1024 is pretty much standard, 2048 would be way more than enough
[19:00] <mbrigdan> ASULutzy: That seems like a good strength to me, not that I have anything to hide...
[19:01] <Tacobor> I have hardy installed on a dell dimension 2400. The BOIS does not allow me to disable the onboard intel graphics card. I also have an ATI  Radeon 9500 which is the card I use. I noticed upon installing hardy it borrows 8 MB RAM for the intel. What should I look for in lsmod so I can blacklist the onboard video?
[19:01] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: It took 8,000 Mips-years to crack a 512-bit RSA key.
[19:02] <Logrusmage> Hey can anyone help me with my MythTV backend set up? I'm getting some big errors, I think it might have to do with multiple mysql.txt files but deleting them seems to do nothing (they reappear) anyone know how to help?
[19:02] <zod21> how would you go about cracking a 512 bit
[19:02] <zod21> thats hardly even possible
[19:02] <leftyfb> Tacobor: update your bios. The option to disable the onboard video was added in later
[19:03] <macrobad> mbrigdan: Also, it depends on the kind of key you are generating
[19:03] <RomanaMentalis> I am having trouble getting my computer to boot into the Ubuntu server installation I installed.  the installation is on /dev/sdc1  but I'm not sure how this relates to my HD0, HD1 etc.  How can I tell which HD /dev/sdc1 is on?
[19:03] <mbrigdan> ASULutzy: hmm, 16384 bits is seeming to be a bit of overkill now, but I have it already, so i'll just leave it
[19:03] <mbrigdan> macrobad: its an RSA key
[19:03] <RomanaMentalis> (I'm trying to install GRUB on the right HD)
[19:03] <kevinO> how can i search a bunch o ffiles for the string "add Items"
[19:03] <QuickGold> in a default mysql install on ubuntu, where are the mysql db's stored?
[19:03] <leftyfb> kevinO: grep
[19:03] <zamolxes> hey. I want to install ubuntu on this computer, but it has no optical drive. It already has windows xp and an older debian (that I want to replace with ubuntu). Now, what would be the cleanest/fastest way to install it? I have many options like installing from windows, installing from debian with chroot, booting the installer from my laptop with PXE, installing from an usb flash drive.
[19:03] <snar2> grep "add Items" *
[19:03] <leftyfb> QuickGold: /var/lib/mysql
[19:03] <_1n7rud3r> hi all
[19:04] <Shujah> RomanaMentalis, fdisk -l
[19:04] <kevinO> leftyfb, can you show me the proper way
[19:04] <andresj> hey i have desktop effects avtivated. but compiz doesnt wanna let my windows go fullscreen... they appear like that for less than a second and then they go back to a 1024x768 window (without counting the decoration). Any ideas?
[19:04] <Jack_Sparrow> RomanaMentalis hda = first drive, hdb is second etc..   sdc1 would be hd2,0
[19:04] <_1n7rud3r> i couldnt join the debian server. the serv has a problem???
[19:04] <leftyfb> zamolxes: http://www.howtoforge.com/unetbootin_windows_ubuntu_fedora
[19:04] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: Here's an interesting paper on RSA encryption strength and roughly how many USD's someone would have to invest over what period of time to crack an X-bit key: http://www.offshore.com.ai/security/rivest-factoring.txt
[19:04] <macrobad> mbrigdan: RSA keys should be a bit longer, but 4096 still should be enough
[19:05] <RomanaMentalis> Jack_Sparrow:  thank you
[19:05] <rj_> all I know is Ive tried to install/run virtualbox on sabayon where it comes preinstalled, win xp where it almost worked, and now ubuntu.  as to weather or not it trashed my machine. all I can tell you is I had spent a lot of time on a new install of ubuntu getting everything tweaked just right and running well.  then I used synaptic package manager to install both virtualbox and wine at the same time.  at first everything seemed okay, -- did not tr
[19:05] <rj_> y to run virtualbox -- played with wine for a bit and then rebooted.  during reboot ubuntu complained about my screen resolution not being vaild.  after I reinstalled ubuntu and got everything working again as it had been *6 hours, krap!*   -- then i installed only wine and everything was fine.  so I conclude that either virtualbox trashed my system or the combination of wine and virtualbox did it.  but wine alone is fine.  and after all those bad
[19:05] <rj_> experiences I am through with virtualbox.
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[19:05] <ASULutzy> zamolxes: I've only ever tried one of those, installing form USB flash, and it was very simple, though I'm sure the others wouldw ork
[19:05] <mbrigdan> macrobad: my key is 16384 bits, i'm guessing thats enough
[19:05] <snar2> How can I modify the GNOME pop up menu, the one that is opened by right clicking on the desktop?  I would like to add items, remove items, and so on.
[19:05] <zamolxes> thanks leftyfb
[19:05] <genii> zamolxes: I've had good success with PXE method
[19:06] <zamolxes> ASULutzy: how did you get the installer on the flash drive?
[19:06] <leftyfb> genii: a pxe server is required for that
[19:06] <RomanaMentalis> Jack_Sparrow:  When I try to install Grub on (hd2, 0) I get a fatal error
[19:06] <ASULutzy> rj_: I would be very surprised if virtualbox actually trashed your system, but who knows. Either way if you choose to use VMWare, it's pretty straight forward, just go to their website and download/install it.

[19:06] <dennis_> Hallo
[19:06] <Logrusmage> Hey can anyone help me with my MythTV backend set up? I'm getting some big errors, I think it might have to do with multiple mysql.txt files but deleting them seems to do nothing (they reappear) anyone know how to help?
[19:06] <zamolxes> well I have 0 experience with either of the methods I listed, that's why I asked which one is easier :)
[19:06] <kevinO> can someone tell me how i can make grep search a whole directory of files for the text string "Add Items"
[19:06] <Xavura> I need help with xorg.conf
[19:06] <Xavura> It's totally messed up.
[19:06] <leftyfb> kevinO: man grep
[19:06] <genii> leftyfb: He mentioned he could PXE boot the installer from off his laptop already
[19:07] <leftyfb> kevinO: that will teach you how to use grep
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> RomanaMentalis do you have three drives?
[19:07] <ASULutzy> zamolxes: I just googled like, Ubuntu live-usb... Let me see if I can find the exact article... I actually setup a persistent USB live-drive, which is even more useful
[19:07] <leftyfb> genii: ah, sorry, missed that part
[19:07] <dennis_> I want to Update pidgin how can i do this
[19:07] <Xavura> Can anyone help me fix my computer?
[19:07] <inik1>  Xavura: what's happens?
[19:07] <leftyfb> dennis-: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:07] <macrobad> mbrigdan: You're going to gain a lot of time to drink tea, I believe, without much enchancing your security. "enough" means, that nowadays people'd need 100 or so years to decrypt it.
[19:07] <leftyfb> dennis-: or go and download it from getdeb.net
[19:07] <snar2> kevinO: grep "add Items" \*
[19:07] <RomanaMentalis> Jack_Sparrow:  I have 4 hard drives, 2 of them are combined into one virtual disk (Raid1) and the other 2 are nothing yet, I installed Ubuntu on the virtual disk (sdc1)
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> dennis_ are you trying to fix icq
[19:08] <Xavura> inik1: Someone was helping me edit xorg.conf, so that I can have output to my monitor and TV, it kind of worked as the TV output now works but it broke everything else
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> RomanaMentalis That wont work for raid...
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !raid
[19:08] <ASULutzy> zamolxes: Doing some quick googling, it looks like someone has made a script that automates it... you could /join #liveusb
[19:08] <mbrigdan> macrobad: it only took about 10 mins to make the key, will it have an effect on how long it takes to ssh to the machine?
[19:08] <kevinO> thank you snar2
[19:08] <Xavura> inik1: When I turn on my PC it says, Ubuntu is in low graphics mode, we can not detect your screena nd graphics card
[19:08] <Xavura> and my screen is like 600x400 or something stupid and I can't fi xit
[19:09] <snar2> kevinO: your welcome
[19:09] <inik1> Xavura:  i try to speak in separate private window. ok?
[19:09] <Xavura> Alright
[19:09] <Xavura> and also on the TV, the colours look messed up
[19:09] <Xavura> and the resolution is messed up
[19:09] <leftyfb> inik1: please keep help in this public channel
[19:09] <Xavura> Everything is messed up!
[19:09] <zod21> xavura download 915 resolution
[19:09] <Xavura> leftyfb: err no, this channel moves too fast for what I need help with
[19:09] <macrobad> mbrigdan: It shouldn't.
[19:09] <Xavura> You can't make people give help in here...
[19:09] <leftyfb> inik1: Taking help discussions to PM doesn't help anyone else having similar problems or other people who might be able to help you
[19:10] <Xavura> Err
[19:10] <Xavura> I seriously doubt anyone else is having this problem
[19:10] <ASULutzy> zamolxes: this is the article I used: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[19:10] <zod21> start a new chatroom, it gets crazy in here
[19:10] <leftyfb> Xavura: I know for a fact that your problem has come up many times
[19:10] <Xavura> My point exactly.
[19:10] <QuickGold> what is the default location of the apache conf file in Ubuntu?
[19:10] <ASULutzy> !enter | Xavura
[19:10] <trakinas> QuickGold: /etc/apache2/
[19:10] <Musli> YO :P
[19:10] <QuickGold> trakinas: thanks
[19:11] <mbrigdan> macrobad: if I wanted to make a key that was twice as big, would it take twice as long, the square as long, or somewhere in between?
[19:11] <macrobad> QuickGold: /etc/apache/apache2.conf
[19:11] <Xavura> Bugger off with the !enter thing.
[19:12] <macrobad> mbrigdan: Well, it should work like this, but you're looking in a wrong place to enchance your security.
[19:12] <leftyfb> Xavura: these are the rules
[19:12] <Xavura> I'm just going to ignore the bot... it's annoying, I get it SO much if I even so much as hit return ONCE mid-sentencwe
[19:12] <asulao> hello. got a problem. gnome doesn't seem to start. terminal shows connect attempts to port 16001. Any thoughts ?
[19:12] <Xavura> It's a habit, give me a break
[19:12] <leftyfb> Xavura: the bot didn't initiate the message to you.
[19:12] <trakinas> Xavura: break your habit
[19:12] <filo1234> !purge
[19:12] <trakinas> irc isnt msn or whatever.

[19:13] <asulao> !puregnome
[19:13] <Pici> asulao: Please see ubottu's response above.
[19:13] <kevinO> snar2, i get grep: *: No such file or directory
[19:13] <mbrigdan> macrobad: well, I probably won't really use this key much, I just wanted to know how much I could do. Hopefully someone doesn't make a working quantum computer soon.
[19:14] <filo1234> !purekde
[19:14] <dennis_> i got Gusty what can i do for Pidgin update with ICQ
[19:14] <macrobad> mbrigdan: If he makes, then even 100K bit key won't help. Thus, let's take it easy! :)
[19:15] <asulao> Pici: I did not install KDE, just gnome. Anyway now it seemed to log in Ok, but showing an error dialog box, that reads: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.  Some things such as themes, etc.......

[19:15] <[gnubie]> i'm already confused with my ssh problem.. anyone cares to check this site =>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/27530/
[19:16] <mbrigdan> macrobad: well, this is just a theory of mine, but I bet that if you can break current keys easily with a quantum computer, i'm betting that you can easily create massive keys too.
[19:16] <Pici> dennis_: Make sure that the updates repository is enabled in System>Adminsitration>Software Sources
[19:16] <Tacobor> the bios updates are not opening for me they give me a memory error
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici not for gutsy
[19:16] <[gnubie]> what causes the problem for this => http://paste.ubuntu.com/27530/
[19:16] <H__> [gnubie] check the file/directory permissions
[19:17] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Launchpad says they should.
[19:17] <purp_> !supported
[19:17] <[gnubie]> H__: permission of what?
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici INteresting..  I know that you cant get the hardy version to compile
[19:17] <H__> [gnubie] well, i assume you want ssh keys authentication to succeed ? is that why you paste the ssh -v output ?
[19:17] <Logrusmage> Hey can anyone help me with my MythTV backend set up? I'm getting some big errors, I think it might have to do with multiple mysql.txt files but deleting them seems to do nothing (they reappear) anyone know how to help?
[19:17] <macrobad> mbrigdan: No, unfortunately, it doesn't work like this. However, there *are* completely new ways to protect information, just google for quantum criptography, and prepare for a complete brain corruption! :-]
[19:17] <snar2> kevinO: I'm sorry, what happened, I was away
[19:17] <ASULutzy> mbrigdan: That's not how it works. quantum computing allows for massively parallel calculations. If you had a 1024 bit quantum computer you could evaluate 1024 "solutions" all at once; this makes cracking public key encryption fairly trivial. This is way off topic, but though quantum computing would spell an end for traditional public key encryption, using entanglement you could probably create an unbeatable method of encryption.
[19:18] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow:  1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.2  was Published in gutsy-updates on 2008-07-03
[19:18] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin
[19:18] <cygoku> Is there any ETA for the Medibuntu repo to come back online ?
[19:18] <macrobad> ASULutzy: Yeah, that's what I was speaking about, entanglement.
[19:18] <[gnubie]> H__: i'm not particular with ssh key auth or just a plain ssh auth to the remote server
[19:18] <kevinO> snar2 it returned  grep: *: No such file or directory
[19:19] <ubuntu_> hi
[19:19] <kevinO> but i think its supposed to be grep -r "add items" /*
[19:19] <tdn> How do I create a script that automatically runs when a USB storage device is inserted? I have read http://dventurin.wordpress.com/2007/04/01/udev-action-add-remove/, but it is not very explanatory.
[19:19] <H__> [gnubie] ok, so the problem is your connection gets aborted immidiately, right ?
[19:19] <mbrigdan> macrobad: ASULutzy: yeah, I probably know way to much about quantum stuff for my age (13). Time to end this conversation before we get !ot ed.
[19:19] <ubuntu_> cccccc
[19:19] <ubuntu_> czxczxcc
[19:19] <snar2> Are you searching in a particular directory?  Or do you need to search down a file hierarchy?
[19:19] <weltall> !puregnome
[19:20] <[gnubie]> H__: yes
[19:20] <H__> [gnubie] then i suggest looking at the logs of the sshd process at the server machine
[19:20] <dennis_> Nothing Works
[19:20] <macrobad> !ot > ubuntu_

[19:21] <hlfshell> how would I allow a computer to remotely SFTP into ym ubuntu desktop?
[19:21] <clement> #u-classroom
[19:21] <rj_> ASULutzy:  thanks for the response.  Im not interested right now in spending time on a repro of the virtualbox mess.  was hoping to hearing from people with *actual* experience with vmware install.  guess nobody here at the moment has anything to say about it.  will plunge ahead.
[19:22] <snar2> kevinO: What are you trying to do?  Are you only searching for "add Item" in a particular directory?
[19:22] <Logrusmage> Hey, my Mythtv can't detect any upnp and can't log into the mysql server, can anyone help me?
[19:22] <asulao> Pici: I did what !puregnome said, but same error. I neer installed KDE. Just gnome, but did upgrade from ubuntu 7 to 8 (not a clean 8 install)
[19:22] <ASULutzy> rj_: I've got VMWare Server Console installed to my laptop right now, difficulty is always relative, it wasn't too tricky to install, but there were some issues with needing to make some symbolic links
[19:23] <fantomas> Hi all. Gobuntu desktop means Gnome?
[19:23] <Flannel> fantomas: No, its the "Free" only version
[19:23] <fantomas> Flannel: hm, then how to install desktop with Gnome using tasksel?
[19:23] <fantomas> :)
[19:24] <fantomas> I'm new to ubuntu
[19:24] <Flannel> fantomas: ubuntu-desktop
[19:24] <Xavura> Why did it say I "left the channel" when I did no such thing?
[19:24] <cygoku> Er, some repos are down correct ?
[19:24] <fantomas> Flannel: thank you
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> fantomas ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde, xubuntu etc
[19:25] <fantomas> Jack_Sparrow: I see
[19:25] <fantomas> Jack_Sparrow: good news, I like gnome
[19:25] <rj_> ASULutzy:  Im not fraid of complexity, have actually installed vmware before on mephis except I never got the networking to work.  but I was concerned by the howto that i found for vmware on ubuntu people where commenting about problems with the mouse and keyboard not working.  Id like to hear more about the sym links, dont recall the howto syaing anything about that.
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura perhaps because you ignore the bot and our rules?
[19:26] <[gnubie]> H__: i don't get a relevant log from the remote server

[19:26] <raydolphin> Greetings all.  I enjoyed wireless connection on this laptop (Ubuntu 8.04), but suddenly unable to use wireless.  My laptop could not see wireless capability, despite that it worked before and that we have not changed the wireless encryption.  Any ideas, please?  How do I re-activate it again?
[19:26] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: I'd been sat idle for like 10 minutes! Then you just randomly decide to force part me? Nice
[19:26] <H__> [gnubie] then i'm out of ideas. i hope someone else here can jump in
[19:27] <frogling> raydolphin: make sure you didn't turn wireless off on your laptop and forget about it.
[19:27] <selocol> I ssh to my remote box via user@i.p.add.ress. How can I connect via user@hostname instead of typing the IP each time? Is there a place where I can store an alias for the IP? Thanks.
[19:27] <[gnubie]> H__: thanks.. ;)
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura Your comments in the channel and in PM... were quite enough
[19:27] <Xavura> Alright.
[19:27] <raydolphin> frogling: it is ON all the time.

[19:27] <android6011> im running " dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M" roughly how long will it take to complete on an 80 gig drive?
[19:28] <root> e
[19:28] <vergil> android: too many variables there
[19:28] <android6011> vergil i know, but i mean like 2 days an hour
[19:28] <vergil> android: drive type, speed, interface type, motherboard, cpu
[19:28] <vergil> android: somewhere between those two.
[19:28] <android6011> its a laptop sata drive in an external case
[19:29] <raydolphin> frogling: Do u have any ideas why wireless not working?  How do I reactivate it?
[19:29] <rj_> selocol  if your remote box has a static ip (never changes) then edit /etc/hosts  but if it has a dynamic ip (keeps chaning) then you need a service for mapping a dynamic ip to a domain name
[19:29] <android6011> what is the longest i can expect?
[19:29] <frogling> raydolphin: have you changed recently?
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> android6011 usb 1.1 or 2.0
[19:29] <DarkAudit> bleh... I'm going to start over with apt-build by installing through synaptic instead of apt-get. There is no reason why the system would choose to ignore it's own settings and install a precompiled binary after it's just completed compiling a package for the same architecture.
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> android6011 if 1.1   .. go to lunch or dinner
[19:29] <android6011> 2.0 i believe
[19:30] <android6011> yup 2.0
[19:30] <raydolphin> frogling: nope.  Did not alter the Wireless encryption or anything like that.  It just disappeared.
[19:30] <vergil> android: if 2, then you're looking at an hour
[19:30] <vergil> though I'd pick a smaller block size
[19:30] <android6011> how big should bs be?
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> android6011 as small as 4k
[19:30] <Logrusmage> Can someone please help me set up my Mythtv? Do I have to install a Upnp client? Or is something else going wrong here? I'm looping into a cannot login cycle...
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Logrusmage myth has their own channel
[19:31] <rj_> android6011  depends very much on the disk drive but when I did a dd from one drive to another to replicate the image it took about 12 hours
[19:31] <android6011> well im going to be using the drive after its done for other things i just wanted to clean it up so should 1M be ok?
[19:31] <shah> hi all, just now i hav installed mplayer in 8.04, i hav tried playing  mp3 song, i can listen to song, but the player is fluctuating violently displaying an error msg, which cannot be seen
[19:31] <Fudus> downloading linux kernel security at 35kb/s
[19:31] <Fudus> wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[19:31] <android6011> rj_ what kind of drive was it?
[19:31] <Fudus> down to 15
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> android6011 as long as there are no errors, you will be fine
[19:32] <Logrusmage> jack_sparrow: I get an error: Upnp not found, whenever I run the setup. It brings me to a different setupd screen where I put in the user and pass (both correct), it says cannot log into server and loops.
[19:32] <cirkit> shah: Please start gmplayer from a terminal so that you can record the output errors.
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Logrusmage I cant help other than pointing you to a room full of people running mythtv
[19:32] <raydolphin> frogling: is there a command where you can check the status of a wireless?
[19:32] <android6011> also, what is the best way to check the disk for any errors after, like make sure the disk has no bad sectors etc
[19:32] <Logrusmage> jack_sparrow: point away please?
[19:32] <vergil> ray: man iwconfig
[19:32] <android6011> raydolphin iwconfig
[19:32] <android6011> ?
[19:33] <frogling> raydolphin: iwconfig
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !mythtv
[19:33] <DarkAudit> when it behaves like this, apt-build is no more than a demo of how to compile, not a working component
[19:33] <cirkit> android6011: fsck
[19:33] <vergil> ray: dpkg -L wireless-tools
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Logrusmage try also /join #ubuntu-mythtv
[19:33] <Logrusmage> jack_sparrow: ty
[19:33] <android6011> cirkit will i need to format the drive first?
[19:33] <cirkit> android6011: No.
[19:34] <raydolphin> android6011: Hmmm, no wireless extensions?   I did install it a few weeks ago and it worked fine,  Why did it show as if it is not installed?
[19:34] <outofretirement> any1 know a good tut to install all distro to a usb hdd
[19:34] <cirkit> android6011: If you're using ext3 file system on your drive(s), they will check for inconsistencies too.
[19:34] <android6011> raydolphin did you update the kernel?
[19:34] <freedumMan> does anyone know if its possible to use a ftp share for mounting .....besides sshfs which i currently use? do i have any other options...the problem seems when the vpn client goes down it locks up that remount mount and its annoying as heck
[19:34] <vergil> raydolphin: lshw -C network
[19:34] <android6011> since you installed the drivers?
[19:35] <stevecrozz> can someone please help with this apt-get error? http://paste2.org/p/48995
[19:35] <android6011> outofretirement : what i do is just hook up the external to a computer with no existing hard drive in it, or just unplug the drives in one, then itll force it to install any and everything to the external
[19:35] <cygoku> Mweheheha, some repositories are down ?
[19:35] <Flannel> stevecrozz: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:35] <rj_> seagate 5400 rpm was getting 5 megabytes per minute xfr -- whichis kinda slow.  but that give a ballpark.  for just a straight erase you will probably be about four times that speed 12/4 equals 3 hours as a guess.  if you read the man dd  you will see that sending kill SIG1  will give you stats from which you can make a reliable estimate
[19:35] <corq-ubu> after upgrading to Hardy heron - I'm having issues with using VNC to connect to windows machines I formerly *could* - now I get only black screen and eventually the connection breaks off, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thx
[19:36] <stevecrozz> Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/48996
[19:36] <outofretirement> stevecrozz did u first do sudo apt-get update

[19:36] <outofretirement> yes alraune

[19:37] <outofretirement> try it in root

[19:38] <lakshmanan> i have a problem with bazaar while pushing my changes to the launchpad branch
[19:38] <alraune> <outofretirement : no howto neede, every distro consumes about 10 G on the drive, you can simply install them as the machine supports booting from disk
[19:38] <raydolphin> android6011: http://paste2.org/p/48997
[19:38] <lakshmanan> ﻿i have a problem with bazaar while pushing my changes to the launchpad branch.. this is the problem

[19:38] <trakinas> corq-ubu: im thinking, but i cannot figure out anything... will google a litte
[19:38] <Flannel> stevecrozz: Um, it means that it can't fork into the child processes.  The cause... well, its something wrong with your system.  Could be bad hardware, could be out of memory.  Have you restarted recently? (not that I advocate restarts to fix problems, but in this case, its probably easier than the alternatives)
[19:39] <outofretirement> it just goes to ubuntu instead of going to usb storage
[19:39] <molgrum> is the "rt" kernel good for gaming systems?
[19:39] <android6011> raydolphin you face the same problems i do, no direct support in ubuntu is available for our wireless card
[19:39] <lakshmanan> ﻿i have a problem with bazaar while pushing my changes to the launchpad branch.... thisis the error message   bzr: ERROR: Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()
[19:39] <stevecrozz> Flannel, it appears I was out of memory, I shut down a few big services and it works now
[19:39] <stevecrozz> thanks
[19:39] <alraune> <outofretirement : could be wise to partitition the drive before beginning
[19:39] <corq-ubu> trakinas: thx - I'm trying to hit launchpad and ubuntu forums but no luck on that symptom yet
[19:39] <trakinas> corq-ubu: realvnc, tightvnc?
[19:39] <android6011> raydolphin msg me and i will tell you how to get things going quick

[19:39] <ASCIIForager> Is someone available to assist me with a boot issue?
[19:39] <raydolphin> android6011: but it worked last time, something to do with the eepc drivers??!!

[19:40] <Slart> molgrum: I don't think it's better than generic
[19:40] <slashzul> how can I recover
[19:40] <android6011> raydolphin if you updated the kernel since then you will have to recompile the drivers unless you made another change which is causing a problem
[19:40] <molgrum> alright
[19:40] <corq-ubu> i have tried the default vnc client in ubuntu, also installed tightvnc also "RDP" behaves same way
[19:40] <raydolphin> i see.  so i do the eepc drivers again?

[19:54] <Lusule> if i have ubuntu 8 i have hardy, right?

[19:54] <LSD|Ninja> What's the command to bring up that network control panel that lists your interfaces, hosts, etc?
[19:54] <android6011> JbCrash it depends on what chipset your webcam uses, all the crystaleye camers are different

[19:57] <outofretirement> im trying to move a mounted .iso to a usb but it says location not supported
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> bob_on_dell look into firestarter and connection sharing, something in that man might help you
[19:57] <XB23> it comes up every so many days on my vmware server and the box dies
[19:57] <outofretirement> the usb is ext2
[19:57] <unop> bob_on_dell, provided the cable is a cross-over ethernet cable, all you need to do is assign the right IP addressess for the wired interfaces, wifi should be unaffected
[19:57] <android6011> JbCrash quick google search found http://rafeequl.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/acer-crystaleye-webcam-on-linux-ubuntu/
[19:57] <javatexan> okay...i have a hypothetical question for the galery.....could I install ubuntu hardy on a new DELL, recompile the kernel to include math emulation (for processors with no math coproc ((ie 486sx)) and then tar.gz that onto a flash drive, then use it on a 486SX?
[19:57] <android6011> for that chipset
[19:57] <bob_on_dell> Jack_Sparrow, im not using firestarter on either comp, there both behind a firewall and the firewalled at the router again

[19:58] <bob_on_dell> unop, ok, so ubuntu network manager isnt going to go ape shit if i do a hard link and a wifi? cool!
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> bob_on_dell understood, but there are features of firestarter that might help you do what you are wanting to do
[19:58] <unop> bob_on_dell, language

[19:59] <android6011> raydolphin np

[19:59] <XB23> guys what does this mean kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.

[19:59] <raydolphin> i have cut/pasted your step-by-step instructions for future reference in case kernel gets re-written!
[19:59] <JbCrash> one more question..its that i can use bearshare in linux?
[19:59] <android6011> raydolphin keep in mind that everytime you update the kernel you will have to go into that madwifi-ng directory and run sudo make clean , sudo make , sudo make install
[19:59] <JbCrash> !bearshare
[20:00] <eth01> bearshare is P2P, and illegal.
[20:00] <eth01> !topic
[20:00] <android6011> raydolphin good idea
[20:00] <raydolphin> android6011: hang on, make clean?
[20:00] <karkur> The big problem is that I have only one cable here, so I can't surf the internet while looking for a solution. I am using freenode via its ip ;-)
[20:00] <bob_on_dell> Jack_Sparrow, unop, thanks for the help guys, imma go grab my wire-cutters and make me a patch :P
[20:00] <raydolphin> android6011: so you're saying, go to that cd directory where i put madwifi in, then type sudo make clean?
[20:01] <android6011> raydolphin ya, instead of having to rerun the svn checkout command everytime if you keep that madwifi-ng directory saved on your comp, you need to run the command make clean before you compile the driver for a new kernel
[20:01] <Soul_Sample> can anyone help me set up clone view between my lcd and tv? whatever i do with xort.conf, i end up with my monitor displaying 640x480 and my tv displaying nothing
[20:01] <unop> bob_on_dell, just remember to assign a different set of IP addresses in the wired network
[20:01] <new_to_ubuntu> jbroome:  thank you -- just saw your reply too.  It says "toshiba acpi" and a couple numbers, what do those mean?
[20:01] <mzuverink> anyone lead me to a good link on connecting another monitor to a wide screen laptop? The laptop is a wide screen, Sony Vaio VNG-NR385E, the attached monitor is not wide screen.

[20:01] <bob_on_dell> unop, yeah ive done crossovers before :) but last time was 2 xp comps

[20:02] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: what video card?
[20:02] <android6011> raydolphin but hopefully support will be added by the next ubuntu update cuz im tired of recompiling the driver every time
[20:02] <unop> XB23, usually it means there is a severe problem that linux cannot avoid -- if you are getting a bunch of messages just prior to the panic, read through them to get an idea of what might be going wrong
[20:02] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: nvidia 6600
[20:02] <XB23> guys are there any commands that will upgrade ubuntu and patch it against latest problems?
[20:02] <bob_on_dell> install twinview
[20:02] <android6011> raydolphin no problem, im just glad i could help
[20:03] <JbCrash> guys..help me.. why i get this msg when do "make install" command? --->  http://paste.ubuntu.com/27539/
[20:03] <bob_on_dell> Soul_Sample, there is an nvidia manager you need to install and use to configure your card
[20:03] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: sorry. i got it going with ati. not familiar with nvidia
[20:03] <raydolphin> android6011: lol, re: recompiling.  yeah.  maybe ubuntu 8.10 will be included??
[20:03] <Soul_Sample> bob_on_dell: what is it called? is it available throuh repos?
[20:03] <bob_on_dell> Soul_Sample, have you googled your ubuntu version + nvidia
[20:04] <tux_> anyone familiar with the innd daemon?
[20:04] <jbroome> JbCrash: sudo make install
[20:04] <bob_on_dell> there is only about 90000 posts + blogs about setting it up on every version you can think of
[20:04] <unop> XB23, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude upgrade  # usually, but if you are having problems with hardware of you have misconfigured something, it probably won't help
[20:04] <bahadunn> is there a way to read info files in gnome like you can in konquoror?
[20:04] <bahadunn> info docs I should say
[20:04] <Soul_Sample> bob_on_dell: yes, and found some tutorials, which after i tried them ended totally messing my display, so i switched back to my backup
[20:04] <Piniek> hi
[20:04] <philsf> is there an easy way to find out what gpg keys I signed (locally)?
[20:04] <JbCrash> To make it user-friendly, create a Custom Application Launcher pointed to this script:  <-- how to do this? this is my last part
[20:04] <karkur> anyone? any ideas about solving this dns issue? I feel blind without being able to google on my own in order to find a solution... switching the cable back and forth to the XP is killing me... (done it two days ago for hours)
[20:04] <unop> bahadunn, yelp (gnome-help) provides that in gnome
[20:05] <raydolphin> android6011: one more thing, how do i spot any update that may affect the wireless, ie. updates from ubuntu's repositories?
[20:05] <bob_on_dell> Soul_Sample, search your add/remove for nvidea and make sure you have the restricted drivers installed
[20:05] <bahadunn> unop: okay thanks

It is now about as fast as Windows was (Ubuntu is now about 3 times slower), I have weird display issues and I have errors galore on start-up and shut down.
[20:06] <android6011> raydolphin and 8.10 didnt have support a few days ago when i was testing it
[20:06] <JbCrash> To make it user-friendly, create a Custom Application Launcher pointed to this script:  <-- how to do this? this is my last part
[20:06] <Xavura> I think it has something to do with them screwing around with the drivers.
[20:06] <android6011> but hopefully it will soon
[20:06] <TigerCR1200> My volume is extremely low, meaning I have to turn the speakers all the way up as well as the mixer. I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where to start to trouble shoot this?
[20:06] <raydolphin> ok, android6011, thanks.
[20:06] <unop> karkur, open up a terminal and try this.   nslookup google.com  # do you get an answer?
[20:06] <Xavura> My computer is now unusable (at this speed, with only one application open)
[20:06] <genii> new_to_ubuntu: OK. Is module ehci_hcd installed?
[20:06] <Xavura> It's insanely slow, do I have to reinstall AGAIN?
[20:07] <bob_on_dell> Soul_Sample, you may also try the old drivers, they can be found in package manager, search nvidea
[20:07] <Sigiken> can someone help me fix it plz?
[20:07] <wols> !tell Xavura about errors
[20:07] <karkur> unop: tried that already... no reply.
[20:07] <wols> Soul_Sample: what nvidia card exactly?
[20:07] <bob_on_dell> wols, 6600
[20:07] <karkur> "connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
[20:07] <unop> karkur,   cat /etc/resolv.conf  # what do you have in there?
[20:07] <wols> bob_on_dell: no old drivers needed
[20:07] <bob_on_dell> ah ok
[20:07] <wols> Soul_Sample: you don't need legacy drivers
[20:08] <Xavura> wols: I CAN'T paste the errors I receieve on start-up/shutdown
[20:08] <Xavura> I don't really care about them any way
[20:08] <josemi> olaa?
[20:08] <Xavura> I care about this amazing speed decrease and display issues that have just started
[20:08] <karkur> unop: two lines, nameserver x.x.x.x and another one similar (with real ips)
[20:08] <vjoe> hello
[20:08] <fantomas> What is the codename of 8.04?
[20:08] <Xavura> Hardy Heron.
[20:08] <Mr_Satan> hardy heron
[20:08] <fantomas> ty
[20:08] <JbCrash> To make it user-friendly, create a Custom Application Launcher pointed to this script:  <-- how to do this? this is my last part
[20:09] <unop> Xavura, things can slow down dramatically if you do not use the right display drivers
[20:09] <bob_on_dell> did they fix the synergy bug in 8.04? id like to get off 7.10
[20:09] <Xavura> unop: That is my problem.
[20:09] <vjoe> I have installed sshd in Ubuntu but I am having trouble starting it. I have done sudo /usr/sbin/sshd but my laptop still can't connect to it.
[20:09] <unop> karkur, ok, what are those ip addresses?
[20:09] <Xavura> unop: Someone else had me screwing with drivers, saying I needed them to be able to do what I wanted to do
[20:09] <Xavura> Now it's unusable.
[20:09] <Xavura> Well, not "unusable" :P but
[20:10] <LSD|Ninja> Why is mc starting nano instead of mcedit when I hit F4 to edit something? o_O
[20:10] <adante> is there a way to manage file associations in nautilus?
[20:10] <jbroome> JbCrash: right click on desktop > create launcher > "name" is what shows up under the shortcut > command points to the file you just installed
[20:10] <terrestre> #kubuntu
[20:10] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, did you setup open-ssh server on the machine your connecting to?
[20:10] <karkur> unop: these are the same ips that I have in the network manager. I think that these are the ips of the DNS of my ISP, since I see the same numbers in the windows box (that works)
[20:10] <Xavura> unop: Do you know how I can get my display drivers back how they should be
[20:10] <vjoe> bob_on_dell, isn't only necessary to run the daemon?
[20:10] <unop> !fixres | Xavura
[20:11] <Xavura> I've restarted X multiple times.
[20:11] <Xavura> and it's nothing to do with the RESOLUTION
[20:11] <bob_on_dell> to connect to a computer via ssh the computer you are connecting to needs it
[20:11] <unop> Xavura, read the second part
[20:11] <Xavura> It's the everything, it's just slow and unreponsive.
[20:11] <jbroome> Xavura: your webcam thingy get fixed?
[20:11] <unop> Xavura, to fix resolution and _other X problems_ ...
[20:11] <Xavura> What do you think?
[20:11] <Xavura> None of my problems get fixed
[20:11] <Xavura> Just new ones created
[20:11] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, do sudo apt-get openssh-server and try connecting again after its installed
[20:11] <new_to_ubuntu> genii:  it appears to be there, ehci_hcd               37900  0   (btw, what do the 2 numbers mean?)
[20:12] <Xavura> jbroome: That'd be a no...
[20:12] <vjoe> don't I have to run it first?
[20:12] <unop> karkur, ok, try these IP addresses instead  204.117.214.10   and
[20:12] <unop> 217.32.105.91
[20:12] <JbCrash> jbroome: i cant open that file
[20:12] <JbCrash> :(
[20:12] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, once its installed its started
[20:12] <karkur> unop: thanks; should I try them in the network manager?
[20:12] <legend2440> JuzzyD: did you get it to work?
[20:12] <bob_on_dell> at least its how it works for me :P
[20:12] <Xavura> I can't load the website...
[20:12] <unop> karkur, if you like, but just make sure /etc/resolv.conf has them later
[20:13] <genii> new_to_ubuntu: The two numbers indicate module size and then how many other things are using it
[20:13] <vjoe> bob_on_dell, I actuall already installed it
[20:13] <lil-romeo> hey  all
[20:13] <bob_on_dell> hrm
[20:13] <vjoe> and ran but it doesn't connect to it
[20:13] <bob_on_dell> can you ping the other computer? (stupid question but i must ask :P )
[20:13] <lil-romeo> can someone help me how to install my whole linux on my 500 gb external hdd?
[20:14] <karkur> unop: did nslookup google.com after updating and validating the new ips; same reply (connection timed out)
[20:14] <genii> new_to_ubuntu: There is a known Tecra M2 issue with ehci_hcd module which affects hibernation and suspend. Since nothing is using it I would recommend to blacklist it
[20:14] <vjoe> yes bob_on_dell i can
[20:14] <lil-romeo> can someone help me how to install my whole linux on my 500 gb external hdd?
[20:14] <Lusule> hmm cairo dock doesn't seem to work well :(

[20:15] <lil-romeo> tryed to boot linux at hdd
[20:15] <lil-romeo> install
[20:15] <bob_on_dell> lil-romeo, i would imagine if you copy the U3 partition and make data partition whats left over it should work
[20:16] <unop> karkur, ok,  open up the nslookup shell, just type nslookup for that  .. then in the shell type   server 204.117.214.10  hit enter, then type   google.co.uk  # see if you get a reply
[20:16] <lil-romeo> how to do friend
[20:16] <lil-romeo> i want my pc space free
[20:16] <lil-romeo> all at my 500 gb

[20:17] <lil-romeo> could use some help its my birtday today and would really like to do it
[20:17] <lil-romeo> :D
[20:17] <unop> Lusule,  or use xkill to force the window to be killed
[20:17] <karkur> unop: got "Default server: 204.117.214.10" and then "Address: 204.117.214.10#53" but after entering "google.co.uk" I got ";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached" ...
[20:17] <Lusule> the window has disappeared but i can't open a new one till i kill it
[20:18] <bobbo> How do you find out which nVidia driver you are running?
[20:18] <bob_on_dell> lil-romeo, google
[20:18] <bob_on_dell> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[20:18] <kd8bxp> I need help bad! Kernel panic after power went out. will an alternative install disc fix without destroying what is on the hard drive?
[20:18] <vjoe> bob_on_dell, 22 is opened
[20:18] <wols> bobbo: Xorg.0.log tells you
[20:18] <Lusule> i can't work out what i need to kill ><
[20:18] <lil-romeo> i want to install all on my ext HDD
[20:18] <lil-romeo> :D
[20:18] <unop> karkur, ok, you're having trouble connecting to 204.117.214.10  -- do you have a firewall running? if you have an external firewall/router - is it blocking anything?
[20:18] <lil-romeo> not instlal from
[20:18] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, who are you logging in as? user or root?
[20:18] <Lusule> it's firefox that's crashed, and cairo-dock
[20:18] <lil-romeo> want to run all from my HDD
[20:18] <bobbo> wols: thanks
[20:18] <lil-romeo> installed all on it
[20:18] <lil-romeo> so if i remove my hdd
[20:19] <unop> Lusule,  killall firefox-bin
[20:19] <lil-romeo> theire is no system
[20:19] <lil-romeo> on it
[20:19] <Xavura> I am reconfiguring X and it has just frozen
[20:19] <FloodBot1> lil-romeo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:19] <Xavura> and I can't do anything
[20:19] <shah> bob_on_dell: im using xfce DE
[20:19] <bob_on_dell> lil-romeo,  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+u3+flash+drive+howto&btnG=Search
[20:19] <Lusule> unop - says no process killed
[20:19] <Lusule> seems to have died now though :)
[20:19] <unop> Lusule, is the firefox window still shown?
[20:19] <Soul_Sample> okay, twin view problem - i have no color on my tv, where can i change pal and ntsc settings?
[20:19] <bob_on_dell> lil-romeo, like i said, ive never done it myself but it can be done
[20:19] <karkur> unop: I never installed any firewall, but a. maybe ubuntu installs one automatically? b. I am connecting via cables ISP; their modem is acting as a router; though, why would it block this address, or the ISPs addresses?
[20:19] <JbCrash> can i install rpm file in ubuntu?
[20:20] <Xavura> I am following the tutorial to run the auto detect script again and it has FROZEN...
[20:20] <bob_on_dell> the only catch is, your going to need to clone a U3 partition to your USB drive and partition it into 2 drive, one will be the tiny U3 system, the rest will be what is usually the U3 data area, your just oging to "inflate" that a bit :P
[20:20] <Xavura> ... For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly,  a keyboard model must be entered ...
[20:20] <unop> karkur,   sudo iptables -L  # to see if iptables has any rules active
[20:20] <Xavura> At the bottom it says "Ok" but I can't click it and enter does nothing.
[20:20] <vjoe> bob_on_dell, user
[20:21] <Xavura> So, how can I reconfigure it if the reconfigure script crashes?
[20:21] <unop> Xavura, use TAB and ENTER to select it
[20:21] <Soul_Sample> okay, twin view problem - i have no color on my tv, where can i change pal and ntsc settings?
[20:21] <unop> Xavura, what you are using there is a ncurses interface, mice don't generally work on them
[20:21] <Lusule> how do i find how to kill cairo dock?
[20:21] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: do you have al ine saiyng   Option	        "TVFormat" "NTSC-M"   in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[20:21] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, the user exists on the system? (if yes, double check the settings in /etc/sshd
[20:21] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: so it's there? i haven't looked, will now
[20:22] <karkur> unop: I have a big output. do you know of any ip address of a pastebin? or alternatively - what should I look for there?
[20:22] <Xavura> unop: I thought it was a weird interface
[20:22] <HappyHater> Lusule, use xkill if nothing else
[20:22] <kd8bxp> I need help bad! Kernel panic after power went out. will an alternative install disc fix without destroying what is on the hard drive?
[20:22] <unop> Lusule,   ps aux | grep cairo # and you should see the exact name of the cairo-dock process, you can use that name to killall
[20:22] <unop> karkur, one sec
[20:22] <Xavura> unop: I have ran the reconfigure script should I restart? Everything is still slow.
[20:22] <Lusule> unop thanks :)
[20:22] <karkur> unop: thanks!
[20:22] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, im honestly not sure why its not working, you can also try sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart (or whatever sshd is on your system)
[20:23] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: actually no :S where can i add it?
[20:23] <unop> Xavura, you need to restart X -- CTRL+ALT+Backspace does that
[20:23] <ghostknife> I have glassfish start at startup
[20:23] <bob_on_dell> vjoe, after that... threaten both machines with windows 95 floppys
[20:23] <gnumm> does anyone know how to disable pulseaudio?
[20:23] <ghostknife> How can I configure it to not do it (without manually editing the links in /etc/rcX.d ?
[20:23] <bob_on_dell> it will at least make you feel better
[20:23] <legend2440> !paste
[20:23] <unop> karkur,   sudo iptables -X;  sudo iptables -F  # that ought to clear the rules
[20:23] <karkur> unop: I have an interesting line there... I have found there an ip that is of my old router...
[20:24] <karkur> unop: I will clear the rules right away
[20:24] <unop> karkur, then do   sudo iptables -L to see if any rules are active (they shouldn't be)
[20:24] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27542/
[20:24] <kramerdu> hi there. how do i send a shortcut e.g. "ALT-a" to a console-based program running in gnome-terminal 2.22.1 without gnome-terminal receiving the shortcut instead of the console program?
[20:24]  * bob_on_dell needs to quit slacking in here
[20:24] <bob_on_dell> laters everyone, good luck vjoe :)
[20:24] <karkur> unop: looks like it's clear now. I'll give everything another shot
[20:25] <BlackH007> hi, ubuntu-newbie here (loving it so far)
[20:25] <unop> karkur,  nslookup now
[20:25] <karkur> unop: works! :-)
[20:25] <unop> karkur, right -- test your browser, etc
[20:25] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: you may need to use    PAL  instead
[20:25] <Build-A-Bear> ls
[20:25] <BlackH007> anybody problems with windows opening in wrong positions (i.e. with their titlebar under the toolbar :/)
[20:25] <karkur> unop: sure. everything works. thank you so much for your help! ;-)
[20:25] <unop> karkur, if everything works - you know that iptables is perhaps too restrictive, and you'll need to configure it right
[20:26] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: i have a section named monitor with the line ModelName "TV-0" in, and under the Device section i have only identifier, driver and option, maybe i should configure the Monitor section instead?
[20:26] <karkur> unop: have any idea what configured iptables? I don't remember that I've ever done it..
[20:26] <unop> karkur, have you ever used firestarter?
[20:26] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: how about i paste my entire xorg and you take a look?
[20:26] <frostburn> karkur, nothing configures iptables until you manually change it
[20:26] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: ok
[20:27] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27543/

[20:27] <FragtioN> Anyone know what would cause traceroute to report false latencies? running ubuntu-server 8.10. i get stable 2ms to destination with ping or mtr, or another machine on the lan, but when i do a traceroute with the same packet size it reports like 35ms for the last hop. ? :( never had this problem with unix before. Could it be x86_64 related? Tried recompiling to latest 2.6 kernel and enabled 1000Hz mm timer, also compiled latest traceroute 2.0.11, same pro
[20:27] <new_to_ubuntu> genii:  you mentioned "!blacklist | new_to_ubuntu"    what does that line do/mean?
[20:27] <unop> karkur, well, i dunno then, point is, you know what to adjust now :)

[20:28] <BlackH007> luhta: i had it in windows at least

[20:31] <karkur> frostburn: well, now it's solved. I couldn't do anything with domain names, only with numbers, but again: now it works. thanks

[20:32] <nixnoob> unop: not exactly, was thinking to make a complete backup of my current install once a week, on an external so I could take the external with me and boot my normal install from it if I were to travel...
[20:32] <unop> lil-romeo, if there is stuff on the disk already -- use something like gparted to create some freespace without formatting
[20:32] <philsf> or does anyone have an educate guess on whatś the best of those, in hardy
[20:32] <spydon> ~3g
[20:32] <lil-romeo> unop
[20:32] <lil-romeo> ?
[20:32] <nixnoob> unop: would dd work for that?
[20:32] <even> hi, someone is developer of gufw here? i'm with doubt about translating ...
[20:32] <BlackH007> anybody else having problems with weirdly positioned windows again-and-again? (Ubuntu Hardy)
[20:32] <chazco> spydon - I've used GPRS/3G/HSDPA on Ubuntu via bluetooth PAN from a phone
[20:32] <karkur> frostburn: ?  against what site?
[20:32] <ompaul> spydon, I have done that with the e220 (if I got the name right)
[20:33] <unop> nixnoob, yes, provided you use dd the right way -- infact, that's what dd does, it makes a byte-for-byte exact copy of a file/device/etc
[20:33] <karkur> unop: do you recommend me to switch back to the old dns ips? (of ths isp)
[20:33] <frostburn> karkur, i guess I don't know exactly what the problem was, I thought you had a connection issue to some remote site.  If it's fixed, then ignore me
[20:33] <MXIIA> !gimpshop
[20:33] <spydon> ompaul, is it easy? a friend of mine needs to do it :P
[20:33] <unop> karkur, yes, indeed -- but you don't have to
[20:33] <nixnoob> unop: cool, thanks.
[20:33] <karkur> frostburn: ;-)
[20:33] <karkur> unop: thanks

[20:36] <unop> lil-romeo, provided his PC can boot from an external usb device
[20:36] <lil-romeo> how to do
[20:36] <lil-romeo> let in bios startup from HDD
[20:36] <MXIIA> any gamecube emulators?
[20:36] <unop> lil-romeo, try and keep everything one one line -- it's easier to read that way
[20:36] <lil-romeo> of extr?
[20:36] <lil-romeo> ext?
[20:36] <Myrtti> !enter | lil-romeo
[20:37] <lil-romeo> ok mate is it possible to use on his pc i have to select boot from hhd of my extern?
[20:37] <unop> lil-romeo, yes, in the BIOS, adjust the boot order so that a USB device is searched first
[20:37] <lil-romeo> in bios ?
[20:37] <nicknick3> having problems with iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.1.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE i dont believe that my system is taking this, how can i check?
[20:37] <karkur> unop: ok, so I will stay with your ips. the isp's ips are not working... no iptables rules, but no nslookup as well...
[20:37] <lil-romeo> ya so now i have to disable all my hdd
[20:38] <karkur> unop: it is a bit of a problem, though, since I will have to configure your ips every time I put this laptop here.
[20:38] <jdawiz> raphael_burnes...  you sure it isn't getting too hot
[20:38] <jdawiz> oops
[20:38] <karkur> unop: sorry, take it back. it works. I don't know what the problem was...
[20:38] <unop> karkur, you can configure resolvconf to use these ip addresses everytime
[20:39] <karkur> unop: thanks
[20:40] <RusTamKo> нее
[20:40] <mariajose> Hi...
[20:40] <MXIIA> are there any gamecube emulators, or newer versions of GIMPShop?
[20:40] <prodigel> Hi all. I've updated to firefox 3.0.1 but one of my favorite extensions isn't working anymore. Can I revert to 3.0 somehow? I'm using ubuntu 8.04
[20:41] <mariajose> could anybody help me please... I need to cofigure 3d on my hp dv6000 laptop...
[20:41] <unop> nicknick3, you'll need to test out one of the systems on 10.8.1.0/24 - see if they can get onto the internet (or past your NAT router)
[20:41] <Seamus> I'm trying to encode a dvd with tovid + mpeg2enc and the audio is always out of sync.  Anyone else have this problem?
[20:41] <BlackH007> aargh, what is it with all these windows suddenly deciding to open under my top toolbar
[20:41] <haker> h

[20:41] <haker> h
[20:42] <FloodBot1> haker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:42] <lil-romeo> mates to install pen drive linux at site stands something about int HDD i have to put them of
[20:42] <lil-romeo> or?
[20:42] <haker> sorry for flood
[20:42] <lil-romeo> in the bios or just at install screen
[20:42] <dman> prodigel, I would make the extension compatible: http://daniel1992.wordpress.com/2008/02/03/how-to-install-incompatible-addons-in-firefox-3/
[20:43] <Luhta> BlackH007, yeah I saw that it's not what I was looking for, the one I used before actually looked like the one for windows, so it's probably actually the one skype themselves does but for linux I just can't find it anywhere
[20:43] <prodigel> dman: thanks, I'll read it now
[20:43] <Arnos> Hi, how do I get a file from my computer through an ssh connection and onto a remote computer?
[20:43] <dman> prodigel: np
[20:43] <Luhta> is there anyway for me to install KDE without it loading tons of icons into my gnome menus?
[20:43] <dman> Arnos: if both have SSH, use SCP
[20:44] <ompaul> Arnos, scp user@machinewithfile:/path/to/file .   <<< where the dot is here
[20:45] <Arnos> on which machine do i run scp?
[20:45] <MXIIA> !tux
[20:45] <JbCrash> how to install openoffice in ubuntu?
[20:45] <FH`> can someone quickly tell me the command to install a local *.deb package plz
[20:45] <ompaul> Arnos, and here is wherever you start your command line - the one that wants to grab from the other one
[20:45] <SeveredCross> FH`: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[20:45] <ddelony> JbCrash: It's usually installed by default.
[20:45] <dman> Luhta: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/
[20:45] <jav> hi, is it possible to install ubuntu server from an ubuntu desktop CD? (and if it is, how do I do it?)
[20:45] <FH`> SeveredCross: Thank you!!
[20:45] <ompaul> Arnos, the other one must be running openssh-server
[20:45] <theRealBall> hi
[20:45] <SeveredCross> You're welcome FH`.
[20:45] <Luhta> dman thank you I'll take a look
[20:45] <JbCrash> ddelony:  yea...but i need impress ..now i dont hv it..want use .ppt file
[20:45] <ddelony> jav: What exactly do you want to install?
[20:46] <dman> jav: you *can*, but you it is a bit of a pain. install desktop, then remove the ubuntu-desktop package. that *should* work...
[20:46] <BlackH007> JbCrash: use the package manager in the System menu
[20:46] <Arnos> I don't know what my address is, is just connected using ssh command from the terminal
[20:46] <jav> ddelony: I want to do an ubuntu server installation from the desktop CD
[20:46] <Arnos> I don't think I have an ssh server.
[20:46] <JbCrash> BlackH007:  all give error..
[20:46] <ddelony> JbCrash: I think that would be OpenOffice Presentation.
[20:46] <JbCrash> i cant install openoffice..i get this error.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27545/    why?
[20:46] <jav> what I want is a slimmed installation where I have to add stuff by my self
[20:47] <jav> dman: would I need to do some pruning after removing the -deskop package ? or will it's dependencies be removed automagically?
[20:47] <EvilDennisR> JbCrash: sudo apt-get --fix-missing update
[20:47] <dman> JbCrash: try running sudo apt-get update
[20:47] <ddelony> jav: I think it would be better to just install the packages you needed. What do you plan to use the server for?
[20:47] <EvilDennisR> JbCrash: then install oo.org like you were
[20:47] <dman> jave: i think that apt-get autoremove will remove the dependencies after you remove it
[20:47] <trakinas> JbCrash: tried apt-get update?
[20:48] <jav> ddelony: it's will be a homeserver, mostly file and possibly a little apache and php-toys
[20:48] <JbCrash> doing now
[20:48] <EvilDennisR> JbCrash: if you get tons of errors about packages missing, you should change your repository to another server
[20:48] <ddelony> !server
[20:48] <JbCrash> EvilDennisR:  how to do that
[20:48] <philsf> what's the difference between the generic and rt kernels?
[20:48] <wols> !rt
[20:48] <prodigel> dman: can I change the addon after I've installed the addon?
[20:48] <BlackH007> EvilDennisR, JbCrash: packages seem to be there...just slightly different names
[20:49] <EvilDennisR> JbCrash: Use the "Software Sources" under the administrator menu
[20:49] <jav> ddelony: I think I want the server kernel, with it's scheduler etc..
[20:49] <EvilDennisR> erm, administration
[20:49] <Josh11442> my HL-2040 in Inkscape Prints up 2 pages (1 the actual page i want the other a blank page)
[20:49] <Josh11442> im running ubuntu 8.04
[20:49] <dman> prodigel: well, it isn't installed yet if it isn't compatible. start fresh
[20:49] <gregor> is it possible to catch a video which is transmitted via rtmp and write it to hdd?
[20:49] <ddelony> jav: So install the server edition, then.
[20:49] <|mr_boo|> hi
[20:50] <|mr_boo|> can i make a dvd disc from a mpg movie w/o a million commands?
[20:50] <ddelony> !dvd
[20:50] <s0u][ight> !firefox
[20:50] <jav> ddelony: can I just install -destkop, remove that package and add the -server package then?
[20:51] <s0u][ight> !firefox
[20:51] <philsf> wols: thanks
[20:51] <dman> jav: i don't see why not
[20:51] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: no luck, i had to restore to a backup again, it completely forgot even what card driver to use
[20:51] <[]BETO[]> nas
[20:51] <ads_> hi.. can you point me to a guide or tools so that i may connect to a wireless access point via a terminal (i.e a non gui/x environment)  thanks!!
[20:51] <jav> dman: ok, thanks :)
[20:52] <ddelony> Hmmm, is there an Ubuntu server package in the repository? I can't seem to find it.
[20:52] <uberspaced> anybody know if something's horked with the SDL dev packages in hardy?
[20:52] <jav> ddelony: no idea, I just assumed there was one
[20:52] <dman> jav: np
[20:52] <ventusignis> I'm having a message appear when I use sudo after I upgraded to hardy.
[20:52] <s0u][ight> !firefox
[20:52] <legend2440> Soul_Sample: yeah i figured something was wrong when you were gone so long..  i have ati card not real familiar with nvidia
[20:52] <Default> After 30-60 mins my USB mouse and keyboard stop working, while the computer is still running
[20:53] <epoxy|w3rk> hey.. is there a command similar to lsusb for parallel devices?
[20:53] <ventusignis> sudo: unable to resolve host Matthew-Ubuntu
[20:53] <ddelony> jav: Maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms, or you could just burn a server disc.
[20:53] <ads_> !aids
[20:53] <ads_> good lad
[20:53] <dman> jav: yeah, a server disc is definitely the easiest way...
[20:53] <philsf> is there any page comparing the several available desktop indexers (tracker, beagle, strigi, google desktop, etc)? or does anyone have an educate guess on whatś the best of those, in hardy?
[20:53] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: do you maybe have some ideas where to look for an answer? i've tried everything i found on google, still no color
[20:53] <Josh11442> how do i turn off this bloody mouse Acceleration in Ubuntu!?
[20:53] <jav> ddelony: yeh, I could burn another CD, but I'm out of cd-r's and I'd like to install tonight (it's 10pm here) ;)
[20:54] <|mr_boo|> why can't just brasero support dvd discs
[20:54] <lil-romeo> hey all, i asked something about how to install the 7.10 all to my ext-HDD but i got a site pendrive linux there stands the next text # IMPORTANT: Ensure that all internal hard drives are disconnected from your computer during the install (pull your SATA or IDE cables) what that means?
[20:54] <legend2440> Soul_Sample:  channel    #nvidia    they might know
[20:54] <|mr_boo|> all it feature is "data dvd"
[20:54] <Soul_Sample> legend2440: okay thanx
[20:54] <|mr_boo|> i don't want to make a data dvd
[20:54] <Josh11442> how do i turn off this bloody mouse Acceleration in Ubuntu!?
[20:54] <ddelony> jav: I hope there is a package, if I only knew what they called it.
[20:54] <dman> lil-romeo: open up the case (with it OFF)  and unplug all of your internal hard drvies. it's a saftey measure.
[20:55] <Bidget> How do I do a symbolic link?
[20:55] <gregor> is it possible to catch a video which is transmitted via rtmp and write it to hdd?
[20:55] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, man ln
[20:55] <s`s> Josh11442: system / preferences / mouse
[20:55] <ddelony> I searched for 'ubuntu-server', but only got the Ubuntu Server Guide.
[20:55] <ASULutzy> |mr_boo|: I thought you could images just fine with brasero?
[20:55] <BlackH007> gregor: perhaps with vlc-player?
[20:55] <dman> Josh11442: System > Preferences > Mouse?
[20:55] <lil-romeo> i have to open my system and remove my hdd
[20:55] <lil-romeo> ?
[20:55] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/link
[20:55] <lil-romeo> internal?
[20:55] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, ok and basically what that will do is take everything in a folder and store it in a different location but it will still be accessible at the original location right?
[20:55] <jav> dman: ddelony , thanks for you'r help, I'll do a bit of searching and bug you a bit more later :)
[20:55] <dman> lil-romeo: yeah. it's just to make sure you don't accidentally install there
[20:56] <lil-romeo> is theire not a way to install without removing internal
[20:56] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, it links.  /path/to/you/symlink "forwards" to /path/to/real/dir
[20:56] <prodigel> dman: that worked ok. thanks for the tip
[20:56] <dman> jav:  cool =P
[20:56] <lil-romeo> could i disable them ?
[20:56] <ddelony> jav:  No problem. Just doing my job. :-)
[20:56] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, ok so... hmm
[20:56] <lil-romeo> that good enoug to?
[20:56] <dman> lil-romeo: not really. just pull the plugs
[20:56] <Josh11442> dangit, Ubuntu just isn't compatible with my Mouse then....
[20:56] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, so which one do I want to be the link and which one the actual directory?
[20:56] <lil-romeo> ahh
[20:56] <lil-romeo> ok
[20:56] <Josh11442> is ubuntu not Compatible with a Razer Deathadder!?
[20:56] <Default> I am not sure why my USB mouse and keyboard disable after about 30 mins to an hour after Ubuntu starts
[20:56] <BlackH007> aaw, we lost Technoviking :/
[20:56] <lil-romeo> how do i find intern :P hdd
[20:56] <lil-romeo> is it big?
[20:57] <dman> Josh11442: Razer is in bed w/ Microsoft. good luck
[20:57] <slayer> ciao
[20:57] <eth01> uh
[20:57] <eth01> noobets and nooblets showtime is over
[20:57] <dman> lil-romeo: ask someone near you physically who lnows something about computers so you don't break it
[20:57] <BlackH007> lil-romeo: you serious?!
[20:57] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, let me rephrase.  ln -s /usr/bin/foo /home/user/somecoolprog  ... if you execute /home/usr/somecoolprog is actually executes /usr/bin/foo
[20:57] <PriceChild> lil-romeo: ##hardware might be a better place I think. but as dman says, asking someone to help you in person would be best
[20:58] <lil-romeo> well i know about linux but i never opened the case
[20:58] <SakuraKinomoto> hello boys, i need help to configure vsftp
[20:58] <lil-romeo> of my pc
[20:58] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, and you can do the same thing with a dir...
[20:58] <epoxy|w3rk> good lucvk
[20:58] <lil-romeo> but if i keep them on where i have to be afraid of?
[20:58] <nixnoob> ><///*>
[20:58] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, ah Im confused
[20:58] <lil-romeo> i will destroy my external again:D?
[20:59] <SakuraKinomoto> somebody recommended me that for ubuntu, but i need to config it
[20:59] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, the best thing to do is read.. search google and type "man ln" at the terminal.
[20:59] <BlackH007> lil-romeo: explosions....oh..and you might overwrite your data accidentally
[20:59] <nixnoob> "man man"
[20:59] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, basically I want to store some files on a different disk cause Im running out of space but I still need them to be accessible from the original spot... thats what a symbolic link does right or am I totally getting this wrong
[20:59] <lil-romeo> hmm i just want to write at my external
[20:59] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, yeah I was just reading through the man pages but its not helping so much
[20:59] <lil-romeo> not anything more
[20:59] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, just missing a step i guess.  here:
[20:59] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, maybe Im overthinking it lol
[21:00] <ddelony> Bidget: A symbolic link is more like a shortcut in windows. It's a name that points to another file.
[21:00] <vjoe> I have installed sshd in Ubuntu but I am having trouble starting it. I have done sudo /usr/sbin/sshd but my laptop still can't connect to it.
[21:00] <lil-romeo> i got still warranty i just try :P hehehe
[21:00] <ddelony> You can have a symbolic link that points to a file on another disk.
[21:00] <vjoe> The port is opened and I can ping it
[21:00] <lil-romeo> i love explosions
[21:00] <nixnoob> vjoe: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[21:00] <Bidget> ddelony, hmm ok
[21:00] <SeveredCross> vjoe: It should have started automagically when you installed it...
[21:00] <epoxy|w3rk> Bidget, mkdir /path/to/new/dir && cp -R /path/to/old/dir/* /path/to/new/dir && rm /path/to/old/dir && ln -s /path/to/new/dir /path/to/old/dir
[21:00] <SeveredCross> At least OpenSSH server does.
[21:01] <lil-romeo> is possible it goes good
[21:01] <nixnoob> vjoe: SeveredCross is correct it should have automagically started
[21:01] <lil-romeo> without problems?
[21:01] <vjoe> so what's the problem?
[21:01] <Bidget> epoxy|w3rk, ah ok that makes a lot more sense hahaha
[21:01] <nixnoob> vjoe: port forwarding?
[21:01] <vjoe> local network
[21:01] <dman> lil-romeo: yes. but it is also possible you accidentally overwrite your current OS. your risk
[21:01] <nixnoob> vjoe: how did you install it?
[21:01] <lil-romeo> hmm
[21:01] <lil-romeo> i try
[21:02] <lil-romeo> if it goes good i will sign me to u guys
[21:02] <new_to_ubuntu> genii: so you typed !blacklist | new2ubuntu, and the reply was from ubottu with the explanation?
[21:02] <vjoe> I installed the metapackage in the repos
[21:02] <lil-romeo> if i hit f11 i get boot screen of wich to open
[21:02] <nixnoob> vjoe: ssh?
[21:02] <epoxy|w3rk>  is there a command similar to lsusb for parallel devices?
[21:02] <vjoe> with installed the openssh client and server
[21:02] <vjoe> which
[21:02] <lil-romeo> i have to start to select my hdd when its installed
[21:02] <lil-romeo> ?
[21:02] <slayer> f
[21:02] <slayer> f
[21:02] <slayer> f
[21:02] <slayer> f
[21:02] <Lusule> where are programs normally installed so i can add one to autostart?
[21:02] <FloodBot1> slayer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:02] <nixnoob> vjoe: try sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[21:02] <dman> Lusule: /usr/bin/
[21:02] <epoxy|w3rk> why would you ban someone then send them a msg ?
[21:02] <epoxy|w3rk> :)
[21:03] <nixnoob> temp ban
[21:03] <epoxy|w3rk> but the dude was already kicked
[21:03] <vjoe> I have done that
[21:03] <nixnoob> It should be a PM...
[21:03] <Lusule> dman: thanks, that's exactly where it was :)
[21:03] <nixnoob> vjoe: and?
[21:03] <vjoe> can it have something to do with the keys?
[21:03] <epoxy|w3rk> hehe
[21:03] <nixnoob> vjoe: how did you set up ssh conf?  or did you just leave it vanilla?
[21:03] <vjoe> and not working
[21:04] <vjoe> I didn't touched it
[21:04] <vjoe> with Debian it worked out of the box
[21:04] <vjoe> that's why I didn't change it
[21:04] <nixnoob> vjoe: it should work then there is no explaination I can think of why it wouldn't work. assuming the daemon is running and you are trying to connect to the correct IP address from a LAN
[21:04]  * BlackH007 likes ubuntu....it just....works...and stuff :o
[21:04] <l815> when i have compiz enabled, the video stays put when I move the window and when I stop it catches back up. is there a way to prevent this?
[21:05] <Bidget> can anyone point me in the direction of a good linux torrent client?

[21:05] <BlackH007> Bidget: transmission
[21:05] <fantomas> I've  just installed 8.04 with gnome desktop. The first problem - can't adjust sound using default gnome control. Any ideas?
[21:05] <Bidget> BlackH007, cool thanks
[21:05] <dman> Bidget: I prefer Deluge
[21:05] <nixnoob> Bidget: azureus transmission there are a million of them
[21:05] <dp_> what is considered the best blogging software for ubuntu?
[21:05] <dp_> desktop software that is
[21:05] <dman> dp_: internet? =P
[21:05] <Bidget> nixnoob, yeah I know there are lots I want to know which are good though
[21:06] <jussi01> !best | dp_
[21:06] <Bidget> I guess I will just try a few and see which I like... I know I hate azureus already though haha
[21:06] <nixnoob> Bidget: all depends on your preferences. good news is they are mostly all in the repos so you can try em all really easy
[21:06] <m-c> !sound |fantomas
[21:06] <LSD|Ninja> Deluge loses points in my book since its UPnP support doesn't appear to work
[21:06] <iso> boot
[21:06] <BlackH007> l815: latest video drivers? no problems with compiz and geforce go 7600 here
[21:06] <Bidget> nixnoob, cool
[21:06] <iso> anyone know of a way or software used to host TinyURL internally?
[21:07] <epoxy|w3rk> if you want something light weight, rtorrent is awesome
[21:07] <dman> LSD|Ninja: i can open ports myself. not that hard
[21:07] <AJC_Z0> a DVD has a 24 bit PCM stereo track to which I'd like to listen, preferably with Xine, but when I play it I get the sound and a nasty loud hiss in the right channel. At what point in the chain from my sound card to my xine config do I need to check and/or set something to hear it properly? [Details on card, alsa, xine config, etc. on request]
[21:07] <l815> BlackH007, it may because im using intel. It plays fine, it's just annoying when moving a window
[21:08] <fantomas> ubottu: thank you.. much reading :(
[21:08] <Xavura> I am getting aticonfig command not found following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[21:08] <fantomas> oops
[21:08] <LSD|Ninja> dman: so can I but when UPnP can do it for me I'd rather not bother. And since everything else I use supports it just fine, Deluge is left looking kinda dodgy.
[21:08] <fantomas> m-c:  thank you.. much reading :(
[21:08] <BlackH007> l815: annoying indeed...not sure how to fix such a problem though (ubuntu newb here). I would try another player first
[21:08] <JbCrash> i just install openoffice..but i get this error..pls help me..why ?   my screenshot at :  http://www.geocities.com/razoblade79/Screenshot.png
[21:08] <Xavura> Specifcally, I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#ATI%20-%20Refresh%20Rate%20&%20Resolution%20QuickFix
[21:08] <dman> LSD|Ninja: i like the prog enough to do it
[21:08] <l815> BlackH007, thanks for the attempt anyway :)
[21:09] <m-c> xavura: Heard about the new, open ati drivers that AMD is creating, yet?
[21:09] <puller> can someone help me get two finger scrolling working on my touch pad?
[21:09] <Xavura> m-c: Nope, I'm just trying to get my system back to how it was before some idiot screwed around with it and made everything slow.
[21:09] <Xavura> I have gone through everthing on that page, up until that part
[21:10] <Xavura> I'll post a screenshot of the kind of display issues I'm getting, the rest is just slowness.
[21:10] <ads_> hi how may i connect to a wireless access point via a text terminal?? i.e no gui
[21:10] <JbCrash> i just install openoffice..but i get this error..pls help me..why ?   my screenshot at :  http://www.geocities.com/razoblade79/Screenshot.png
[21:10] <m-c> Xavura: Take a look at these new drivers when you get a chance.  Might resolve some issues, if you feel comfortable playing with pre-production code: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature ; http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?s=844e52238b85865d489a98d68b85e322&t=9951

[21:10] <LSD|Ninja> ads_: there's a tutorial on the forums, give me a minute and I'll dig it up for you
[21:10] <nixnoob> ads_: iwconfig
[21:10] <dman> puller: Try installing gSynaptics and using it
[21:10] <Xavura> m-c: NEW? Lol, sorry but, generally NEW things don't solve anything, they create more problems.
[21:10] <JbCrash> BlackH007: cool? na..i cant read it
[21:10] <Xavura> I just want to get it how it was before this idiot screwed around with my system and  broke everything
[21:10] <LSD|Ninja> ads_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834
[21:11] <Xavura> It's so slow it's not even funny and the display issues are more than an annoyance.
[21:11] <ads_> LSD|Ninja: thanks  nixnoob: thanks ill check that too                    thanks guys  great help
[21:11] <puller> dman: gsynaptics dont work for me, i instaleld it then enable it but i get an error everytime i try and use it
[21:11] <Xavura> Before it was PERFECT.
[21:11] <nixnoob> ads_: use iwconfig to set the ssid and encryption scheme and then just sudo dhclient wlan0
[21:11] <m-c> Xavura: Worst case, you can reinstall ubuntu after backing up /home
[21:11] <Xavura> Yeah, or not.

[21:12] <ads_> nixnoob: thanks!
[21:12] <Xavura> I've already had to re-install once, I am NOT doing it again
[21:12] <nixnoob> ads_: no prob
[21:12] <m-c> Your customization should be in your /home/user directory, but no need to be sarcastic here - just trying to help
[21:12] <Xavura> i'm not being sarcastic, tell me where I was being sarcastic

[21:15] <shingo__> I'm having an issue with compiz: In order to make normal clicks, I have to keep ALT pressed. Not pressing alt results in a permanent windowdrag mode. Anyone know what might be causing this?
[21:15] <Xavura> nixnoob: What does that command do?
[21:16] <DELLNEC> has anyone installed asterisk on ubuntu?
[21:16] <LSD|Ninja> BlackH007: I thought it supported DX9? That's Shader Model 2/3
[21:16] <Debian_Noobie> shingo: have you checked you keyboard setup?
[21:16] <JbCrash> any help?
[21:16] <nixnoob> Xavura: it lists all the driver modules in use by your system at the moment and searches for lines containing "fglrx" which is the ATI kernel module driver.
[21:16] <Xavura> nixnoob: It gave no output.
[21:16] <nixnoob> Xavura: if it returns nothing then the driver is not loaded.
[21:16] <cmdln> and to top that off its telling me that *my* useraccount in ldap is expired
[21:17] <Xavura> nixnoob: Fancy helping me change that?
[21:17] <cmdln> wth, have no problems logging into any other system
[21:17] <nixnoob> Xavura: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[21:17] <shingo__> I have changed that key in Metacity. Compiz should be seperate from that? I havn't changed anything there per se
[21:17] <Xavura> I'm trying to un bugger my system, been as though all the people who have been helping me have just broken it more.
[21:17] <Debian_Noobie> asterisk, no I have not, but I have seen the stand alone setup cd
[21:17] <Xavura> nixnoob: 	Driver		"kbd"
[21:17] <Xavura> 	Driver		"mouse"
[21:18] <Xavura> What's kbd? Don't things that start with K belong to KDE, I use Gnome... not KDE.
[21:18] <Lusule> looking for where the icons are stored, anyone able to help with that?
[21:18] <nixnoob> Xavura: thats weird, you have no video driver whatsoever...
[21:18] <orgthingy> +e ?
[21:18] <orgthingy> whats that
[21:18] <Debian_Noobie> /usr/share
[21:18] <Xavura> nixnoob: Someone was screwing around with my xorg.conf.
[21:18] <linuxkrn> someone eh? :)
[21:18] <Default> After an hour or so of use, my keyboard and mouse will disable but Ubuntu will still run and I am not sure why
[21:18] <shingo__> I can't find anything suspicious in gconf either
[21:18] <BlackH007> Xavura: kbd = keyboard maybe? ;)
[21:18] <nixnoob> Xavura: thats kbd = keyboard.
[21:18] <Xavura> BlackH007: Maybe, yeah
[21:18] <selocol> Hello, I can forward an app through ssh, but if I close the app on my local machine, the app closes on the server as well. How do I close the app locally but allow it continue running on the server?
[21:18] <Debian_Noobie> icons
[21:19] <linuxkrn> selocol: use vnc
[21:19] <Debian_Noobie> /usr/share/icons
[21:19] <Xavura> Ok, I was just checking, I have a load of K things like KNetworkManager and KUSBBus running and I can't get rid of them.
[21:19] <Xavura> They were left over from Kubuntu (shudder)
[21:19] <selocol> linuxkrn: I don't have any gnome or window manager installed on the server
[21:19] <Xavura> So how can I fix that fact that I have no video driver whatsoever?
[21:19] <nixnoob> Xavura: Don't do this right away because it will close X and all your running programs, but you need to ctrl+alt+f1 login and then sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-xserver
[21:19] <Xavura> nixnoob: Not again.......
[21:20] <Xavura> I just did that about 5 minutes ago
[21:20] <linuxkrn> selocol: is it a gui/X app?
[21:20] <Xavura> I went through the entire auto configuration nixnoob
[21:20] <Xavura> .
[21:20] <nixnoob> Xavura: well you need to re-write your xorg.conf file before I can help you.
[21:20] <Zamadatx> simutrans isnt in synpaptics so how do i install from a binary
[21:20] <BoomShaka> hello. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to get some help debugging a compiz animations issue I am experiencing. Basically when I use the mini maxi or close buttons of the window, the animation is not shown, but it is when i tab to the window etc
[21:20] <selocol> linuxkrn: yes
[21:20] <up_the_irons> Does anyone know of software that can access an OS X Calendar server on Linux?  I've tried Evolution and Thunderbird (w/ Lightning add-on) and both give me errors.
[21:20] <nixnoob> Xavura: because as it is its missing alot of stuff.
[21:20] <Xavura> nixnoob: I came here to get help with xorg.conf, then someone "helped" me and messed up my computer and you expect me to know how to fix it?
[21:20] <linuxkrn> selocol: then you have to use vnc.  You don't need gnome/gdm, you can use X and twm/icewm/etc.
[21:20] <Xavura> I have absolutely no idea how to fix it.
[21:21] <nixnoob> Xavura: the command i gave you sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-xserver will fix your xorg.conf
[21:21] <selocol> linuxkrn: is there any way to place the process in the background?
[21:21] <Xavura> nixnoob: No it won't, I ran that command 5 minutes ago.
[21:21] <m-c> selocol: from the command line?
[21:21] <nixnoob> Xavura: but it will not make the ati driver run.
[21:21] <Xavura> nixnoob: Following a tutorial on the Ubuntu website.
[21:21] <Debian_Noobie> yes selocol forgot command though
[21:21] <selocol> m-c: yes
[21:21] <m-c> solocol: Just add & at the end
[21:21] <nixnoob> Xavura: it will replace the broken video section in your xorg.conf with a standard vesa one.
[21:21] <Tux2K8> what to install on ubuntu from the repo' in order to compile/develop wxWidgets projects?
[21:21] <Xavura> nixnoob: I DID run the command, about 5 minutes ago, maybe 10.
[21:22] <linuxkrn> selocol: not without vnc, once X server closes the window the app will terminate without vnc
[21:22] <nixnoob> Xavura: what happened?
[21:22] <Xavura> No it won't because I have already ran it and restarted
[21:22] <Xavura> and guess what?
[21:22] <Xavura> It didn't fix it.
[21:22] <Giselle> alguien sabe español?
[21:22] <nixnoob> What did it do?
[21:22] <Debian_Noobie> there may be a key sequence you press, forgot what it was
[21:22] <m-c> !es |Giselle
[21:22] <selocol> m-c: i started the app with &, and the GUI app opened locally (forwarded through ssh). but if i close the gui locally, the process terminates. how do i keep the proecss running but close the gui locally?
[21:22] <linuxkrn> !enter | Xavura
[21:22] <Xavura> It did something, it cleaned up my xorg.conf but it DIDN'T fix the driver thing you are talking about.
[21:22] <adnane> #ubuntu -de
[21:22] <Xavura> linuxkrn: I NKOW>
[21:22] <Xavura> Oh wow.
[21:23] <adnane> #join ubuntu-de
[21:23] <m-c> selocol: Yeah, you can do it... it requires playing around with how X handles the application.  I have not looked at it in years, but it is technically possible.
[21:23] <Xavura> linuxkrn: I KNOW, I do TRY to keep my questions and responses on one line. Doesn't mean I remember to every frickin' time.
[21:23] <Xavura> Next time someone does that to me I'm putting them on *|*@host ignore...
[21:23] <Gendolookin> we talking about Linux?
[21:23] <selocol> m-c: alright thanks.. i think ill follow linuxkrn's advice for now and install vnc and fluxbox or some other wm
[21:23] <Gendolookin> i saw "how X handles the application"
[21:23] <xintron> I've got a friend with his laptop (and an usb-cd-reader). Is it possible to boot using a cd through the usb?
[21:23] <adnane> how to get upgrade ubuntu 8.04 ?
[21:23] <Xavura> Linux? What is this Linux you speak of?
[21:24] <Tux2K8> what to install on ubuntu from the repo' in order to compile/develop wxWidgets projects?
[21:24] <daschl> hey guys, what could this error msg be: http://www.fac.at/ ?? .. it has to do with caching, at first my tmp dir was not writable (IIS) and now it is, but now this msg shows up?
[21:24] <shingo__> xintron: That depends on your laptop's bios
[21:24] <nixnoob> Xavura: only if bios has the option to boot from USB
[21:24] <Xavura> nixnoob: So how am I meant to fix my driver problem, if reconfiguring xorg.conf won't?
[21:24] <xintron> shingo__: I think it's a very old laptop
[21:24] <HappyHater> xintron, yes, change the boot order in bios if you have to
[21:24] <Gendolookin> whop else has problems with Flash?
[21:24] <bob3213243> can anyone give me a quick how to with ekiga?
[21:24] <Gendolookin> and how do you fix it LOL
[21:24] <shingo__> Then probably not
[21:24] <adnane> hoe can i joined germayn channel

[21:24] <Gendolookin> everyone i know on ubuntu has a flash problem
[21:25] <Gendolookin> i have flash 10 installed, and it is STILL slow as dirt
[21:25] <zod21> flash does ok sometimes
[21:25] <nixnoob> Xavura: if you fix the structure of xorg.conf by doing reconfigure and then make a slight change I think it will work.
[21:25] <Gendolookin> cna't even watch Hulu shows
[21:25] <trakinas> BlackH007: no, "you has" problem with language
[21:25] <zod21> but like the facebook add photos doesnt always work
[21:25] <adnane> thx
[21:25] <m-c> !proprietary
[21:25] <BlackH007> trakinas: :)
[21:25] <nixnoob> Xavura: but I'm not going to write your entire xorg over from scratch thats why i say just reconfigure.
[21:25] <localgod11> how can I see what ports ubuntu is blocking
[21:25] <zod21> is ubottu a bot
[21:25] <Xavura> I HAVE
[21:26] <nixnoob> zod21: yes
[21:26] <zod21> ahh
[21:26] <leftyfb> localgod11: if you haven't installed a firewall, ubuntu isn't blocking any ports
[21:26] <Xavura> nixnoob: Are you not listening or do I fail at getting points across? I have. Multiple times. I have been following this tutorial nixnoob from top to bottom : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[21:26] <zod21> that was kinda a dumbass queston
[21:26] <HappyHater> half the time I try to use reconfigure xserver-xorg it doesn't even ask about the monitor or gfx
[21:26] <localgod11> leftyfb:  i thought all ports were clsoe unless opened by an app
[21:26] <zod21> not you xavura sorry, i was talkin about mine
[21:26] <nixnoob> Xavura: the output you gave me from cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver indicated that you have NO VIDEO SECTION in xorg.conf
[21:26] <zod21> im out
[21:26] <leftyfb> localgod11: no. There's no firewall installed/enabled by default
[21:26] <linuxkrn> Xavura: you should go take a break and calm down.  People are trying to help you and all you're doing is giving everyone attitude.
[21:26] <Xavura> Yes nixnoob, but running the command does not change that.
[21:26] <Xavura> NO I am not
[21:27] <leftyfb> Xavura: actually, you are
[21:27] <Xavura> People are telling me to do things I have done numerous times.
[21:27] <Xavura> Then telling me to do them again.
[21:27] <junkeR> leftyfb: what about ufw?
[21:27] <Xavura> Then telling me to do them again.
[21:27] <Xavura> I have done it already.
[21:27] <Ganandorf> hi guys i tried to get my  ubuntu to look like osx and  i think i broke my repositories
[21:27] <nixnoob> Xavura: pastebin your entire xorg.conf and give me the link
[21:27] <Xavura> okey dokey
[21:27] <Ganandorf> i get a error how do i fix it
[21:27] <_kamera_> i need to setup ubuntu server on a raid1 environment, how can i tell the install CD to first create the raid array and then install the software on it?
[21:27] <leftyfb> junkeR: that's just a front end to creating iptables rules. There's no rules enabled by default
[21:27] <trakinas> Xavura: get out of the pc for a awhile. drink a glass of water, take the dog for a walk, call your girl, read a book, watch a nice film.
[21:28] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: you have to be a bit more specific than that ;)
[21:28] <Xavura> linuxkrn: I'm not giving anyone attitude, not intentionally, Ubuntu has been giving me crap all day and it just won't stop, everything is just breaking
[21:28] <trakinas> Xavura: then, when you are relaxed you try again. sometimes the problem is jumping in fron of you but you cant see cause you are tired
[21:28] <the_fafa> i updated my ubuntu 7.10 and now my networking is broken. anyone experienced something like it?
[21:28] <nixnoob> trakinas: he obviously doesnt understand what he is doing so he needs to be babied.
[21:28] <Xavura> and everytime I try to fix something, something else breaks
[21:28] <Ganandorf> hmmm well i was trying to get the awn dock so i went into software sources and clicked teh un checked boxes
[21:28] <nixnoob> Xavura: im waiting for that link i have to go in 10 minutes.
[21:28] <BlackH007> Xavura: at least your caps lock still works :P c'mon man..relax, it's just a computer
[21:28] <Ganandorf> teh system then asked to restart
[21:29] <Xavura> nixnoob: My DNS is broke too, it takes time to upload
[21:29] <kexp903> Hi no matter how many times I change my DNS it keeps changing back to 4.2.2.1 for some reason
[21:29] <Xavura> Well, for sites to resolve
[21:29] <Ganandorf> A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
[21:29] <Ganandorf> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

[21:29] <Xavura> Can I paste it into a PM? It's quite small
[21:29] <JuzzyD> nixnoob, Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't close all your running programs and X. You can flip straight back to them with Ctrl+AltF7
[21:29] <ASULutzy> What is the command to look at your firewall rules? sudo iptables -L ?
[21:29] <Ganandorf> thats what i get
[21:29] <nixnoob> Xavura: go ahead
[21:29] <nixnoob> JuzzyD: i kno that but after changing the line in xorg.conf he needs to restart gdm
[21:29] <jo4> how can i easily burn a bootable ubuntu image onto a cd?
[21:30] <m-c> jo4 extremely easily
[21:30] <JuzzyD> Ahh ok, I'm with you.
[21:30] <the_fafa> as i said my networking is broken after stable updating it says something like.. CONFIG_FILTER CONFIG_PACKET not configured??
[21:30] <nixnoob> JuzzyD: hes obviously a noob and a text console would scare him without explaining it to him first
[21:30] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  anything can be done
[21:30] <heero10> hello
[21:30] <fantomas> Does anybody know why runnig alsamixer could rise error like: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory? I do have sound, it runs when Gnome starts for example, but it runs at max volume and I can't adjust it
[21:30] <kexp903> jo4, use brasero
[21:30] <sploozer> anyone here using Curl???
[21:30] <kexp903> Hi no matter how many times I change my DNS it keeps changing back to 4.2.2.1 for some reason
[21:31] <jo4> kexp903: oh, ok.. ty
[21:31] <Xavura> kexp903: I have the same problem, it's something to do with dhcp
[21:31] <Xavura> I still haven't figured out how to fix it despite asking numerous times, lemme know if you have any luck
[21:31] <m-c> jo4 you are doing this within ubuntu, right?  right click on the iso image and select Write to Disc
[21:31] <HomingHamster> sploozer, what do you want to do with curl?
[21:31] <heero10> i've used curl for a script to fetch weather information for conky
[21:31] <Palace_Chan> Is this an ubuntu livecd ? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:31] <JuzzyD> man there are two thins reeeally aggrevating me using ubuntu as primary OS.
[21:31] <linuxkrn> fantomas: could be that your card is miss identified, sometimes you need to pass a hit to alsa for the correct mixer to load. (intel HDA is bad about this problem)
[21:32] <moshe> hi, i have ~/.ssh/id_rsa private key which is password protected, so ssh in console asks me for the password of the key every time before the password of remote user. the problem is that in GUI (ex. kio in konqueror) it also thinks that the password entered is for the key and not for remote user. is there a way to disable checking for private key password in gui? thanks
[21:32] <m-c> Palace_Chan: yes
[21:32] <jo4> m-c: what, your kidding :p i'll check it out, thanks
[21:32] <the_fafa> i got a kernel version running which is not in /boot strange - did the upgrade break and mess up ?
[21:32] <philsf> Xavura: have you tried the xfix option from single init?
[21:32] <JuzzyD> I seem to have major issues with USB speeds, and I have some video conversion issues that prevent me converting video for my portable player
[21:32] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  i was following this sites instructionhttp://rockmanx.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/make-your-linux-ubuntu-look-like-a-mac-hardy-heron/
[21:32] <fantomas> linuxkrn: I think I have similar card on Asus M2N-E SLI board
[21:32] <Xavura> philsf: No idea what you just said :P
[21:33] <ASULutzy> so sudo iptables -L shows my current firewall rules, how do I remove all firewall rules?
[21:33] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  came to the part to add repositories to install AWN dock
[21:33] <fantomas> ASULutzy: flush?
[21:33] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: i think it's a malformed sources.lst
[21:33] <Palace_Chan> so booting from the livecd i can sudo apt-get install ms-sys and then run ms-sys -m/dev/sda to fix Grub Error 17 (i deleted my ubuntu partition and now it wont boot)
[21:33] <ventusignis> I'm having a message appear when I use sudo after I upgraded to hardy.
[21:33] <ventusignis> sudo: unable to resolve host Matthew-Ubuntu
[21:33] <bob3213243>  what is a video chat program that will work with ichat?
[21:33] <fantomas> ASULutzy: man iptables then / then flush
[21:33] <sploozer> I am trying to pull a file from an http server but the file name updates daily dictating the date...so i've instructed curl to for example curl -O http://website.com/file[1-30[1-12]2008.exe  but it pulls a bunch of bs files that are about 232k even though it doenst exists it does though pull the main file i want which is about 32 megs, so I had to add a clean up module in my script to blow all the garbage away after the download is complete except the
[21:33] <sploozer>  actual file i want, anyway around that?
[21:33] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  thats where i got the prob i pasted something in to a terminal
[21:33] <Ganandorf> that was on teh site
[21:33] <philsf> Xavura: are you using hardy or an older release?
[21:33] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: try 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and see if you see something weird at line 56
[21:34] <ASULutzy> fantomas: Oh duh, that was an RTFM'er there.
[21:34] <Xavura> philsf: Hardy.
[21:34] <trakinas> let me put this to *everyone*: is not because this chan has loads of people that they will necessary know how to solve your problem. and they do not need to do it. so, saying "i´ve asked a zillion times plus one" does not mean that people are ignoring you, rather, means they probably dont know how to help you.
[21:34] <bob3213243_>  what is a video chat program that will work with ichat?
[21:34] <Xavura> That's kind of obvious but thanks for that :P
[21:34] <fantomas> linuxkrn: how this could be done on Ubuntu 8.04? I mean helping alsa?
[21:34] <JuzzyD> it's taken over 30 minutes to transfer a 500mb file to the usb device. Has anyone encountered similar issues?
[21:34] <trakinas> bob3213243 no idea.
[21:34] <heero10> @sploozer - haha way beyond my abilities!
[21:35] <herrmess> After cold boot, login, network traffic on ext interface is a slow but steady trickle TO MY PC. Disk also seems to light up every once in a while. How do I know who's using the NIC (and any files)?
[21:35] <Palace_Chan> by the way, im using mIRC on windows (xchat on linux) and apparently i have to pay for mIRC after 30 days...is there a free irc client for windows ?
[21:35] <philsf> Xavura: have you tried the reconfigure xorg with -phigh?
[21:35] <kunwon1> Palace_Chan, yes. Xchat.
[21:35] <trakinas> JuzzyD: not me
[21:35] <Palace_Chan> kunwon1 i can get that on windows too ?
[21:35] <BlackH007> Palace_Chan: it's still free...just an annoying message every time you start it
[21:35] <kunwon1> Palace_Chan, yes. You have to pay for the official build if you want it, but the code is open and there are quality unofficial builds
[21:35] <Palace_Chan> BlackH007 you mean that register thing wont bust me after 30 days ?
[21:36] <m-c> JuzzyD: Have you attended any linux user group meetings in your area?
[21:36] <Xavura> philsf: Yup.
[21:36] <philsf> Xavura: it should clear out your xorg.conf, and make Xorg autodetect yoru hardware, instead of filling the conf file
[21:36] <jussi01> Palace_Chan: check out quassel
[21:36] <JuzzyD> Uhh, nope. I don't know if we have them here?
[21:36] <BlackH007> Palace_Chan: it will still work, but just show this blabla-i-made-this-and-i-would-appreciate-you-buying-this-thing-message for some seconds
[21:36] <kunwon1> Palace_Chan, it won't stop working
[21:36] <linuxkrn> fantomas: yes, you need to set the options for the module.  See this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[21:36] <philsf> Xavura: ok, so I jumped late. could you pm me your problem again?
[21:36] <m-c> JuzzyD: There is often discussion on the best methods of using advanced features of Linux and Ubuntu, such as video capture and transfer
[21:37] <JuzzyD> Are they a good place to pick up chicks? *grin*
[21:37] <herrmess> How do I know what prog(s) use disk and network resources?
[21:37] <m-c> JuzzyD: Check out  http://www.linux.com/groups
[21:37] <philsf> Xavura: unless you have an ATI gpu, in which case I can't help at all
[21:37] <linuxkrn> fantomas: you can check if you have an intel hda by using: cat /proc/asound/cards
[21:37] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  http://pastebin.com/m311bc336
[21:37] <Xavura> philsf: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[21:38] <Ganandorf> and i can't save anything if i edit it
[21:38] <jo4> .j nerd
[21:38] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: remove the quotes and save
[21:38] <Palace_Chan> when i boot from an ubuntu cd, does the liveCD option come in the menu ?
[21:38] <jo4> hmm
[21:38] <Ganandorf> its not saving saying permission denied
[21:38] <The_ManU_212> hi
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan Which cd did you dl
[21:38] <philsf> Xavura: well, who knows, pm me the problem anyway
[21:38] <trakinas> Palace_Chan: yes.
[21:38] <fantomas> linuxkrn: then I was wrong.. 1 [default        ]: USB-Audio - PnP Audio Device and  PnP Audio Device         at usb-0000:00:02.0-7, full speed in the second line. It is not USB device though
[21:38] <trakinas> Palace_Chan: unless is the server cd
[21:39] <Palace_Chan> this one: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-lts&arch=amd64&mirror=http%3A%2F%2Fmirror.anl.gov%2Fpub%2Fubuntu-iso%2FCDs%2F&debug=&download-button=
[21:39] <hephaestuz> Hi
[21:39] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: then start gedit with sudo
[21:39] <herrmess> I tried using stap but it complained about libdwfl failure
[21:39] <Ganandorf> how
[21:39] <The_ManU_212> why isnt nvidia-settings standard when the nvidia 3d driver is installed, is any configtool delivered when the driver is installed, or have i to install it manually?
[21:39] <Palace_Chan> i.e. the default one that is selected here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:39] <Xavura> philsf: nixnoob is helping me out with it but if he gets stuck then I'll drop you a line, thanks
[21:40] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: sudo gedit <your file>
[21:40] <Palace_Chan> trakinas the desktop cd includes the livecd option ?
[21:40] <Shujah> The_ManU_212, you have to install nvidia-settings from synaptic
[21:40] <DELLNEC> envyng did not work for quadro2 ex
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan How did you burn it?
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !burniso
[21:40] <jjx> hi all
[21:40] <trakinas> Palace_Chan: yes
[21:40] <rohan_> hi. in ubuntu, i have two ways of installing ruby-on-rails. using the "rails" debian package, and using the ruby gem. which is recommended? if i install it using one way, will the other know about it?
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan Burned correctly, yes it does
[21:40] <linuxkrn> fantomas: ah, luckily most usb soundcards I've used the standard usb-audio interface and worked great.  Check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UsbAudioDevices
[21:40] <Palace_Chan> Jack_Sparrow as an iso image, thing i have  and old laptop and i deleted ubuntu from a partition of it and now it wont boot because of grub error 17
[21:40] <icqnumber> !info gnuplot
[21:40] <kunwon1> rohan, use the debian package
[21:40] <trakinas> rohan: which one you judge best
[21:41] <rohan> kunwon1: ok, but many ruby users swear by the gem. they say that gem is like apt-get for ruby
[21:41] <Palace_Chan> so i was told that from a live cd i could try running ms-sys -m/dev/sda
[21:41] <rohan> trakinas: i am not able to, hence asking here :)
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan what do you see when you trty to boot it
[21:41] <kunwon1> rohan, but you're asking in #ubuntu
[21:41] <trakinas> rohan: i use django and rails. i use both oficial versions, not debs
[21:41] <Palace_Chan> grub tries to load...of course its gone since i deleted the whole ubuntu thing reformated it back to NTFS
[21:41] <Palace_Chan> it then says Grub error 17 and that's it
[21:41] <rohan> kunwon1: yes, because i'm using ubuntu.
[21:42] <ventusignis> Isn't grub in the mbr?
[21:42] <clarezoe> can anyone help, after installing ubuntu 8.04 , but it failed when booting, it says "error 17"
[21:42] <rohan> trakinas: ok, any reason why?
[21:42] <creativex> hola
[21:42] <trakinas> rohan: but that is smth you ahve to chose by your own. waves which one is easier to mantain, which one is best to be in rails forums asking about your doubts, which is more close to what you want to do and so on
[21:42] <cckk> wherecan i find drivers for an ati hd 650 usb tuner for ubuntu 8.04?
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan Check the cd in a dif computer
[21:42] <Palace_Chan> well if i had an xp cd i could use fixmbr i guess
[21:42] <kunwon1> rohan, it's a good practice to use package management for your OS when it's available, that way if there's a security/bugfix patch released, you don't have to find out about it on your own and manually patch
[21:42] <Xavura> Is it normal to get errors on start-up and shutdown? I get various errors, some relating to what seem like KDE specific things
[21:42] <Xavura> Though I totally got rid of everything KDE
[21:42] <Palace_Chan> but ms-sys -m/dev/sda might do it from a live cd which i can download easily online
[21:42] <jjx> i am trying to install ubuntu on a ibm x-series 3650. On site says that is supported and i need 64bit image. When i downtload the image i get the amd64.iso! Is that image suitable for Intel Quad CPU??
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ventusignis correct, which is why it is a bad burn/dl or not booting the cd first
[21:43] <vjoe> guys, I have installed openssh-server in Ubuntu and it only allows root connections
[21:43] <trakinas> rohan: because they are usually more up to date. more stable.
[21:43] <joustin> ff
[21:43] <rohan> trakinas: exactly.
[21:43] <XKpe> hi
[21:43] <bobertdos> ﻿Xavura: You mean, for example, in verbose mode where you can see all the text?
[21:43] <DELLNEC> a
[21:43] <creativex> hi all
[21:43] <herrmess> jjx: AFAIK yes, "amd64" is general 64 bit.
[21:43] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  ok its working but what did i do wrong on following the instructions on the add the repositories to get teh awndock
[21:43] <creativex> im new in this
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jjx Stick with the 32 bit version
[21:43] <Debian_Noobie> !offtopic
[21:43] <rohan> on one hand we have - OH, OS doesn't know about it. and on the other hand we have, OH, there's a newer official version available :-s
[21:43] <jjx> therefore amd64 is not only for amd
[21:43] <ventusignis> Jack_Sparrow, Does that mean that you are having trouble getting your computer to boot off of the live cd?
[21:43] <creativex> somebody with i do to speak
[21:44] <Xavura> bobertdos: Well, I know what verbose means but, everytime I log in or out, it is very verbose yes... and there are a lot of errors
[21:44] <Xavura> Is it anything to be worried about?
[21:44] <jjx> however, 32bit should install
[21:44] <kunwon1> rohan, sounds like you have a decision to make :)
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ventusignis I am not having any issues...
[21:44] <Xavura> Yeah, I guess it is verbose mode after all
[21:44] <BlackH007> Gamandorf: you copy-pasted too much (i.e. the quotes)
[21:44] <herrmess> jjx: yes, and yes.
[21:44] <XKpe> i only have sound on the first application that tryes to use sound, then the other wont give any sound
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ventusignis Palace_Chan  is..
[21:44] <jjx> 32 should run smoothly on the 64bit server???
[21:44] <herrmess> jjx: I am using 32bit on Quad.
[21:44] <bobertdos> ﻿Xavura: Yeah, that is pretty normal, and that goes for Gnome too.
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jjx yes
[21:44] <jjx> 32bit = i386?
[21:44] <herrmess> jjx yes.
[21:45] <herrmess> (actually, it's the other way round)
[21:45] <jjx> nice, thanks for the fast answers :)
[21:45] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  thanks alot man
[21:45] <XKpe> except for some programs like skype that allways seem to be able to output sound
[21:45] <herrmess> np
[21:45] <BlackH007> Ganandorf: no problem...glad i could help out (just using ubuntu for 2 days now =) )
[21:46] <XKpe> is this a common issue?
[21:46] <nixnoob> I think I made a boo boo.
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> XKpe yes
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> XKpe /join #alsa
[21:46] <vjoe> guys, I have installed openssh-server in Ubuntu but it only allows root connections. How can I allow my user to connect?
[21:46] <Xavura> nixnoob: The changes you told me to make fixed the display issues, however upon restarting X I was given a "low graphics mode" notification.
[21:46] <fantomas> linuxkrn: thank you. Will try it right now.
[21:46] <kunwon1> vjoe, did you edit your sshd configuration
[21:46] <Xavura> it told me that it couldn't detect my display and GFX card.
[21:46] <Xavura> and that I have to manually configure them
[21:47] <bobertdos> creativex: How may we help you?
[21:47] <Ganandorf> BlackH007: really damn i using it 3 months now but i switched to teh 64bit yesterday an dtrying to get it to look like mac osx
[21:47] <nixnoob> Xavura: check pm
[21:47] <Xavura> On it.
[21:48] <Ganandorf> BlackH007:  so teh part on the site that says Mac like Dock with Avant Window Navigator
[21:48] <Ganandorf>  
[21:48] <Ganandorf> what do i do what do i copy and paste in terminal
[21:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Ganandorf or cairo-dock
[21:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !awm
[21:48] <QuickGold> i installed Ubuntu and im at a grub command line....what do I type to boot into ubuntu?/
[21:48] <poop> quick question how do I in ubuntu 8.04 make it so sudo does not ask for a password /etc/sudorers doesnt exist apperently anymore
[21:49] <poop> this seriously annoys me
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> poop not a good idea..
[21:49] <Ganandorf> whats cairo dock Jack_Sparrow
[21:49] <Ganandorf> http://rockmanx.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/make-your-linux-ubuntu-look-like-a-mac-hardy-heron/
[21:49] <QuickGold> How do I boot into Ubuntu from a grub command line?
[21:49] <poop> if i am logged into my system i know the password
[21:49] <jamiejackson> my terminal won't work (never turns black, says it's not responding). any ideas why?
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Ganandorf it is what I use to get the mac looking bar at the bottom of my screen
[21:49] <spphreak> !kerrighed
[21:49] <poop> why am i asked for it everytime i wanna do something
[21:49] <Ganandorf> thats the site i am following i am at the part Mac like Dock with Avant Window Navigator
[21:49] <Ganandorf>  
[21:49] <JoeFool> yo, I'm trying to use Hydrogen, but the sound isn't working.
[21:49] <DarkAudit> I tried again, this time through synaptic. Apt-build is building packages, then downloading and installing the package from the regular ubuntu repositories. There is NO local repository line in sources.list, even after dpkg asks me if I want to put the line there. There *is* the line in sources.list.save, but does that mean anything? I had to have missed something setting apt-build up in Hardy, but WHAT?
[21:50] <poop> thats worse than windows allow or deny prompt at least they dont ask for the password
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> poop Please change your nick. it is offensive in some languages.
[21:50] <Ganandorf> Jack_Sparrow: where do i get this cairo
[21:50] <poop> how in xchat?
[21:50] <jorge_> hi how  ican install kernel
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Ganandorf Let me get you a link
[21:50] <justwhoiam> o ok nvm
[21:50] <jo4> how can i download a deb package and install it on another box after copying?
[21:50] <justwhoiam> sorry
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> poop /nick newnick
[21:50] <Ganandorf> but what am i doing wrong from the site
[21:50] <justwhoiam> got it
[21:50] <BlackH007> jo4: just doubleclick it in nautilus
[21:51] <justwhoiam> sorry jack_sparrow
[21:51] <jamiejackson> it asks you to do your password when you need to do some administrative function, justwhoiam
[21:51] <ASULutzy1> Weird, typing sudo iptables --flush killed my internet connection. Where does iptables get its information from? Because I typed sudo iptables -L and noticed a bunch of stuff there (I'm at work) and then was curious and tried --flush, which cleared everything out but killed my connection, so I restarted and now all the stuff that was shown with sudo iptables -L is shown again...
[21:51] <justwhoiam> yes it annoys me
[21:51] <justwhoiam> i am logged in
[21:51] <justwhoiam> i know the password
[21:51] <Palace_Chan> i just booted from the ubuntu cd and the options i get are: run from cd without any changes to your computer, install ubuntu, check cd for defects, et al which is the livecd one ?
[21:51] <bobertdos> poop, the sudoers file should still be in /etc according to my system
[21:51] <BlackH007> run from cd
[21:51] <justwhoiam> idk sudo visudo works
[21:51] <jamiejackson> justwhoiam: you're logged in, but not as root. it's keeping you safe, fwiw
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Ganandorf https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724&release_id=14108               get 156 or 1602
[21:51] <_empemp_> i have suddenly got problems with my norwegian keyboard layout.  the special character won't work anymore.  any suggestions?
[21:52] <Palace_Chan> BlackH007 and if there are no changes to computer can i still attempt to run ms-sys commands so my computer will boot properly ?
[21:52] <justwhoiam> k i never do root work on a linux system

[21:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan ms-sys will do it
[21:53] <justwhoiam> wow one thing about this distro i dislike is the whole removal of root

[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jussi01 you beat me to it
[21:55] <spydon> If you download a package from synaptic but doesn't install it where does tha package end up?
[21:55] <vjoe> kunwon1, I don't find the section related to that in the file
[21:55] <vjoe> can u help me?
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> spydon /var/cache/apt/archives
[21:56] <spydon> Jack_Sparrow, thx :)
[21:56] <kunwon1> vjoe, man sshd_config might have some hints
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> spydon it probably installed, but did not include a menu entry
[21:57] <spydon> Jack_Sparrow, no, I choose not to install it in the options
[21:57] <spydon> Jack_Sparrow, the package is for a friend without internet connection for the moment :P
[21:57] <herrmess> Any late takers...? How do I find out which app downloads from the net behind my back?
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> spydon copy your entire folder just in case there are dependencies ..
[21:57] <kunwon1> herrmess, try iftop?
[21:58] <cckk> hello, does anybody have any love or direction for ati hd 650 tv tuners? on ubuntu 8.04
[21:58] <spydon> Jack_Sparrow, is there a command that shows the dependencies?
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> spydon yea. hold a sec
[21:59] <kunwon1> herrmess, iftop might not be the best solution, you might find something like netstat is necessary, but I find iftop much easier to use :D
[21:59] <unop> spydon, apt-cache depends package # probably
[21:59] <spydon> unop, thx
[21:59] <herrmess> iftop --help doesn't say it can give me the process name...
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> spydon To Find Dependencies apt-cache depends <DEB program package>.
[21:59] <Xavura> Here's a good one for you guys: "The helper something appears to be crashing. Trying another instance."
[21:59] <Xavura> That is in no way the exact error but it is similar.
[21:59] <Palace_Chan> ok sudo apt-get install ms-sys wont work, and a search for ms-sys in synaptic wont give me anything
[21:59] <spydon> Jack_Sparrow, thank you too :P
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:00] <Xavura> I received it upon restarting X, does anyone have any idea what that means?
[22:00] <Ganandorf> one more thing Jack_Sparrow how would i get my repositories back to orginal state if i edit them
[22:00] <kunwon1> herrmess, it gives you a port number
[22:00] <jo4> i'll better try to explain my intensions more clearly. i need to get the samba and ssh packages for another computer. this computer has no internet so i have to get them from here, including all dependencies..
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Ganandorf there should always be a copy of the original in your directory
[22:00] <BlackH007> what is the best way to resize my partitions and scoop a bit of my windows partition and add it to my ubuntu partition?
[22:01] <wols> jo4: apt-zip
[22:01] <kunwon1> herrmess, like I said, if iftop doesn't work, look at netstat
[22:01] <Palace_Chan> ill try straight from the site
[22:01] <wols> BlackH007: gpared
[22:01] <wols> BlackH007: gparted
[22:01] <herrmess> thanks kunwon1
[22:01] <vjoe> kunwon1, I have put AllowUsers any but still doesn't work
[22:01] <unop> Palace_Chan, make sure you have the ubuntu repositories enabled and try installing ms-sys again
[22:01] <kunwon1> np
[22:01] <unop> !info ms-sys | Palace_Chan
[22:01] <Jack_Sparrow> jo4 DL what you need and copy the entire /var/cache/apt/archives directory to a cd or use aptoncd
[22:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[22:01] <unop> whoa
[22:01] <kunwon1> vjoe, what does 'doesn't work' mean
[22:01] <kunwon1> ?
[22:01] <BlackH007> wols: thanks
[22:02] <jo4> Jack_Sparrow: so if i have installed all i need on this computer, i have the .deb packages in /var?
[22:02] <Ganandorf> i checked the sources list save file and that changed to Jack_Sparrow
[22:02] <Xavura> Ok guys, I'm really stuck. Someone help me fix my xorg.conf by adding the driver section where it needed to be, I then restarted X and I was getting "The helper application appears to be crashing, trying another one" (that's not it exactly). I pressed ok and I got the same thing again. I did Ctrl+Alt+Delete then when Ubuntu restarted I got "Ubuntu cannot recognize your monitor and graphics card, low graphic mode enabled".
[22:02] <Xavura> helped*
[22:02] <Ganandorf> it has the errors the BlackH007 helped me change
[22:02] <kunwon1> !doesn't work | vjoe
[22:03] <gdh0> hello world
[22:03] <gdh0> sort of classical entrance :-)
[22:03] <vjoe> kunwon1, means that I still can't connect with my user
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> jo4 yes
[22:03] <vjoe> only as root
[22:03] <Xavura> I ran aticonfig --initial and it says "Found primary fglrx device section" so that's ok, but if I do "lsmod | grep fglrx" I get absolutely nothing.
[22:03] <Xavura> What is going on?
[22:03] <jo4> Jack_Sparrow: sweet, thanks m8
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura which ati card
[22:04] <kunwon1> vjoe, what error message is it giving you when it fails to connect as user?
[22:04] <gdh0> question: where shall I go to discuss with the LabtopTestingTeam ?
[22:04] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: lspci output: I effectively can't boot into my computer without it being in
[22:04] <Xavura> Wait, I fail at copy and pasting.
[22:04] <Ganandorf> Jack_Sparrow: i checked the file sourceslist save and that changed also it has the errors that BlackH007 helped me fix
[22:04] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: lspci output: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[22:04] <BlackH007> =D, "since gparted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may use it"
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura That card does not support fglrx
[22:05] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: That's not what I heard.
[22:05] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: When I *first* had it working, I'm fairly certain it was using fglrx :\
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura fglrx is for 9550 and higher cards
[22:05] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: What do I need to do then? :( I've been at this for hours now
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura aiglx for lower
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura Im busy but, thought I would point that out for you
[22:06] <Xavura> So if I add Driver "aiglx" to xorg.conf then restart X is that *it*?
[22:07] <Xavura> Can anyone confirm that the above is going to work, or will I need to do something more?
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide          is the only link I have atrm
[22:07] <Xavura> I have restarted X so many times today that I don't feel like restarting it to find out.
[22:07] <Xavura> Gutsy?
[22:07] <herrmess> no luck :(
[22:07] <vjoe> kunwon1, it's a big warning: remote host identification has changed
[22:07] <herrmess> How can I say which proc writes to HD?
[22:07] <DarkAudit> there's and apt-build file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, should it be names apt-build.list like the other files in that directory are?
[22:07] <vjoe> maybe because I changed the distro in the host
[22:08]  * Xavura restarts X for the 52nd time.
[22:08] <Xavura> Wish me luck.
[22:08] <kunwon1> vjoe, I've never seen that before, but I googled it and got a lot of promising sites
[22:08] <creativex> hi
[22:08] <creativex> hi all
[22:09] <ventusignis> Is there a way to restart X without rebooting the entire computer?
[22:09] <Jancsy> Good evening.
[22:09] <creativex> i want to talk
[22:09] <vjoe> kunwon1, problem solved
[22:09] <vjoe> thanks for your help
[22:09] <kunwon1> ventusignis, ctrl+alt+backspace I think?
[22:09] <kunwon1> vjoe, no problem
[22:09] <vjoe> I'm not in a good day today, Asus support sucks big time
[22:09] <vjoe> I'm really pissed of with them

[22:13] <Xavura> What does this mean? "KInit: No resume image, doing normal boot". White text, black background, it said other things but I forgot.

[22:13] <Palace_Chan> UGH im trying to install ms-sys on the livecd, turns out the make and make install fails..i guess i have to apt-get intall build-essential first
[22:14] <Xavura> kunwon1: I would ignore it except for 2 things. 1, I don't use KDE, I use Gnome and 2, it happens about 5 times for about 5 seconds each before Ubuntu will even boot
[22:14] <kunwon1> Palace_Chan, yes, ubuntu is broken until build-essential is installed :)
[22:14] <Xavura> I am really having problems, does anyone have an ATI Radeon 7000?
[22:14] <kunwon1> Xavura, that's weird.
[22:14] <Rudd-O> I have a 7000m
[22:14] <Xavura> What about this one? "aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor."

[22:15] <kushalsejwal> Hello Everyone :)
[22:15] <Xavura> I just seem to be getting more and more problems each time I restart X
[22:15] <Palace_Chan> build-essential install is stuck at preparing g++4.2 is that just because things are slow from a livecd ? i certainly hope so

[22:17] <Xavura> and it is totally different to what it was before restarting X.
[22:17] <cckk> what is the best channel to be in if i want to get information and help installing an ati branded hd tv tuner?
[22:17] <kushalsejwal> I dont want to go to windows back just to watch movies

[22:17] <BlackH007> kushalsejwal: try playing with the codec settings in the preferences
an hour ago i went with Xavura through installation of ati driver to get her TV out working., then after  two hours stuck with xorg.conf
[22:17] <Anitox> kushalsejwal: tried mplayer?

[22:18] <cckk> xavura :really nothing available?
[22:18] <glitsj16> kushalsejwal: have you experimented with vlc settings (video output module) to check whether the issue disappears ?
[22:18] <kushalsejwal> BlackH007, I have all the necessary codecs downloaded
[22:18] <SliMM> hello
[22:18] <kushalsejwal> glitsj16. I havent changed a single setting
[22:18] <SliMM> I have a Motorola H500 handsfree
[22:18] <Anitox> kushalsejwal, or maybe you need to update your video drivers?
[22:18] <kushalsejwal> it was the same quality with the totem player
[22:18] <unop> kushalsejwal, is this problem just on vlc? how about flash videos?
[22:19]  * AfeRaTa is back [ gone for 161wks 4days 10hrs 16secs ]
[22:19] <glitsj16> kushalsejwal: can't do any harm, try some
[22:19] <BlackH007> kushalsejwal: having codecs doesn't mean you have optimal quality settings
[22:19] <SliMM> how can I use it as an extra audio device available to Ubuntu?
[22:19] <kushalsejwal> BlackH007, then what should I do
[22:19] <Rudd-O> SliMM: it depends
[22:19] <Rudd-O> what do you want to do with it?
[22:19] <BlackH007> kushalsejwal: see what you can change in codec settings in the preferences
[22:19] <Rudd-O> what is your usage scenario?  how is it wired to your stereos and stuff?
[22:20] <SliMM> Rudd-O: hmm, use it on skype?
[22:20] <kushalsejwal> Anitox, how can I update my video driveres, I have recently installed restricted ATI driver
[22:20] <SliMM> Rudd-O: it's bluetooth
[22:20] <Rudd-O> SliMM: you set it up in skype itself then.  in the audio device options.
[22:20] <JC_Denton_> How can I get ubuntu to run ifconfig eth0 down at 0700 each morning?
[22:20] <KDELOVER4LIFE> I am getting various issues after installing swiftfox with displaying addresses and all does anyone know how to fic this?
[22:20] <Rudd-O> as far as I know, once the bluetooth device has been paired, it should just work via ALSA and appear in skype as a usable device
[22:20] <Anitox> kushalsejwal, sounds like you're updated then
[22:20] <unop> JC_Denton_, use a cron job

[22:24] <anonno> hi
[22:24] <Rudd-O> DarkAudit: I beat you, I'm about to migrate to Fedora!
[22:24] <anonno> what if I deleted my /dev?
[22:25] <Rudd-O> I win
[22:25] <Rev> whats the command to create a deb package from the sources?
[22:25] <Rudd-O> (or, you could also say, I lose)
[22:25] <kushalsejwal> sorry for copy pasting my quest. again
[22:25] <kushalsejwal> ﻿I recently downloaded VLC player so that I can improve picture quality of movies but I still see tiny square like pixels on the screen???
[22:25] <anonno> how can I recreate it?
[22:25] <unop> Carbon_life, do you want the directory to be used like a normal directory? or would you like to make a compressed file of the directory (like an encrypted backup) ?
[22:25] <Rudd-O> anonno: create it empty, and coldboot the machine.  it will be recreated on the spot
[22:25] <HomingHamster> gordon__: try apg-cache search java, then apt-get install <the thing you want>
[22:25] <alraune> you want your original back ?
[22:25] <Rudd-O> you might want to try the altsysrq key first
[22:25] <anonno> so I rm -rf /dev
[22:25] <anonno> mkdir /dev
[22:25] <anonno> and init 6?
[22:25] <Rudd-O> alt+SysRq+U, alt+SysRq+S, coldboot
[22:25] <unop> anonno, err, you don't want to do that
[22:25] <coldboot> Rudd-O: I can help with that.
[22:25] <HomingHamster> gordon__: or you could use the package manager
[22:25] <DarkAudit> Rudd-O: I'm trying to get the package I've just compiled to install, but apt wants to download the one from the regular repositories and use that instead
[22:26] <Rudd-O> lol, coldboot is here
[22:26] <alraune> Xavura:  so no one could help ; you want your original back ?
[22:26] <Rudd-O> DarkAudit: if you have a deb on your disk, use dpkg -i
[22:26] <td123> kushalsejwal: it's not the player, it's the codec. Proprietary codecs are closed spec (some) and the codecs that aren't supplied to by them are iffy
[22:26] <coldboot> I am the boot which has no software.
[22:26] <Rudd-O> kushalsejwal: what codec are you having trouble with?
[22:26] <DarkAudit> Rudd-O: shouldn't apt-build install (whatever) do that already after the package is built?
[22:26] <Rudd-O> coldboot: loi!
[22:26] <anonno> I'm on ubuntu live cd
[22:26] <bug_> hello
[22:26] <Rudd-O> DarkAudit: I try to stick to dpkg so as not to lose more hair
[22:27] <anonno> so I just press those combinations?
[22:27] <Rudd-O> anonno: then just reboot
[22:27] <kushalsejwal> I have all the codecs installed , its when I play .avi
[22:27] <Rudd-O> wait
[22:27] <kunwon1> anonno, then you don't have to do anything, just reboot
[22:27] <bug_> anybody could help a french newbie please ?
[22:27] <anonno> I rebooted 2 times
[22:27] <Xavura> Jack_Sparrow: The xorg.conf you requested -- http://pastebin.mozilla.org/489427
[22:27] <Rudd-O> okay
[22:27] <anonno> both were errorous
[22:27] <Rudd-O> there are two dirs in /dev that must exist
[22:27] <Rudd-O>  /dev itself and /dev/pts
[22:27] <HomingHamster> bug_, do they speak english :P
[22:27] <Xavura> If anyone else knows anything about xorg.conf could you take a quick look and see if you can spot anything wrong
[22:27] <bug_> yes
[22:27] <DarkAudit> Anitox: USB headset?
[22:27] <kushalsejwal> when i play the same movie on win media payer its fine but when I play it on totem or VLC I see tiny pixels, the quality is not 100% please suggest!!
[22:27] <Rudd-O> udev is mounted on boot, if both exist, and udev takes charge of recreating it from the devices it finds
[22:27] <HomingHamster> bug_, what with?
[22:28] <bug_> I speak a little bit english
[22:28] <Rudd-O> Xavura: you can always take a peek at /var/log/Xorg.0.log using the less command
[22:28] <bug_> I've to patch a geexbox version
[22:28] <anonno> if they both exist then I restart?
[22:28] <unop> kushalsejwal, tried mplayer?
[22:28] <Xavura> Rudd-O: I've had enough, I'll leave it to someone who knows what they are doing
[22:28] <anonno> and when do I press that combination?
[22:28] <Rudd-O> kushalsejwal: if you can, turn off all postprocessing.  if you are watching wmv videos, I feel your pain man
[22:28] <unop> kushalsejwal, tried adjusting codec properties?
[22:28] <kushalsejwal> unop, okay let me give a try to mplayer too
[22:28] <Xavura> Rudd-O: After god only knows how many hours of messing around, I just want to get this thing working.
[22:28] <unop> kushalsejwal, tried updating your video drivers?
[22:29] <anonno> the coldboot thing
[22:29] <Xavura> Can anyone see anything wrong with this? http://pastebin.mozilla.org/489427
[22:29] <kushalsejwal> Rudd-0, dude it not WMV videos, that are even horrible on totem, but still avi should work fine :(
[22:29] <Xavura> It's quite small for an xorg.conf, I think
[22:29] <Anitox> Xavura: what is the problem?
[22:30] <Xavura> Anitox: I don't know, everything.
[22:30] <unop> Xavura, if i were you -- i would remove the xorg.conf file and try xorg without one (back it up just in case you need it later) -- see if that improves anything
[22:30] <kushalsejwal> Rudd-0 what is postprocessing???
[22:30] <a2008> please help me : in ubuntu 8.04 my cpu load when my system isn't busy , cpu monitor applet show my cpu 100 % and in gnome-system monitor doesn't task that load cpu larger than 10% and my laptob go to hot , when i restart my system this problem solve but after some time again my cpu load 100% , what should i do ?
[22:30] <Sylphid|work> what would cause eth0 to not respond after connecting to a wireless network?
[22:30] <unop> a2008, use top instead of the gnome-system-monitor
[22:30] <__yy_> a2008: what program is using all your cpu?
[22:30] <alexudner> hi
[22:30] <Xavura> unop: I'm not trying anything, do you know how long I've been doing this for now?
[22:31] <unop> Xavura, yes
[22:31] <Xavura> If anyone who knows what they are doing could skim through my xorg.conf and tell me if they see any errors, it would be most appreciated.
[22:31] <Xavura> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/489427
[22:31] <Anitox> Xavura: backup your current xorg.conf, then run Xorg -config xorg.conf to generate a new one
[22:31] <Xavura> Isn't the command to generate a new one sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[22:31] <Xavura> Or is that something different.
[22:32] <Palace_Chan2> Sorry i got disconnected
[22:32] <unop> Xavura, but nothing could be wrong with the xorg.conf file in terms of syntax -- it could just be that it is not right for your setup (which i assume it is since you aren't enjoying the experience)
[22:32] <a2008> i don't see program in gnome-system-monitor that use larger than 10% from cpu
[22:32] <Palace_Chan2> is it normal for build-essential to take a looon gtime during install on a livecd ?
[22:32] <unop> Xavura, the new xorg does not need a xorg.conf -- it tries to automagically configure itself
[22:32] <Xavura> It was fine until someone started trying to get my Graphics Card's TV Out feature working
[22:32] <Anitox> Xavura, give it a try. it might work.
[22:32] <DarkAudit> if there's a bug in the way dpkg-reconfigure sets up apt-build, is that a bug with apt-build or dpkg-reconfigure?
[22:32] <poningru> Palace_Chan2: uh... yeah
[22:32] <Xavura> So just totally delete xorg.conf and try again?
[22:32] <poningru> its giant
[22:33] <DarkAudit> Anitox: are you using a USB headset?
[22:33] <alraune> Xavura:  driver in your updated conf should be flgrx, what to you want, go back to previous state or keep calm and figure it out , maybe tomorrow ?
[22:33] <unop> Xavura, maybe not delete - but move it over to a backup
[22:33] <Xavura> How can I check if the driver is working properly?
[22:33] <__yy> Xavura: always back up xorg.conf... never blow it away completely
[22:33] <Palace_Chan2> poningru it has been stuck for a bit at preparing g++4.2 so i was a little worried
[22:33] <unop> Xavura,  sudo mv -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bkp}
[22:33] <Xavura> alraune: You keep telling me flgrx
[22:33] <Xavura> Everyone else tells me something different
[22:33] <Xavura> I don't know who to listen to.
[22:33] <Xavura> What driver should I use for an ATI Radeon 7000?
[22:33] <unop> Xavura, if fglrx was working (i don't think fglrx applies to your card) you would see a mention in /var/log/xorg.0.log
[22:33] <genii> radeon
[22:34] <anonno> brb testing
[22:34] <unop> !ati
[22:34] <bug_> Anyone knows about GEEXBOX ?
[22:34] <a2008> unop and __yy_ :  i don't see program in gnome-system-monitor that use larger than 10% from cpu
[22:34] <Anitox> DarkAudit: No, I have a built in sound card on the laptop.
[22:34] <unop> a2008, but you might have 10 processes all using 10% at the same time :)
[22:34] <__yy> a2008: don't use gonme system monitor use top instead, it's more reliable
[22:35] <Xavura> Ok the xorg.conf is gone
[22:35] <Xavura> Now should I just reboot normally?
[22:35] <unop> Xavura, all you need to do is restart X
[22:35] <Anitox> Xavura: Xorg -configure xorg.conf
[22:35] <Xavura> Fatal server error:
[22:35] <Xavura> Unrecognized option: xorg.conf
[22:36] <unop> Anitox, he's not using a conf file now, Xavura
[22:36] <Anitox> Xavura: Xorg -config xorg.conf
[22:36] <Anitox> oh, ok
[22:36] <Xavura> By the way when I do ctrl+alt+backspace
[22:36] <Xavura> At first it really seems like it just isn't going to work
[22:36] <Anitox> DarkAudit: It works in linux apps, sound works in wine, but not the mic.
[22:36] <Xavura> In fact it doesn't
[22:36] <ilembitov> Hi, all. How do I clear all settings for a user?
[22:37] <Xavura> I have to do ctrl+alt+delete for it to do anything
[22:37] <JC_Denton_> I've entered this line in crontab but it doesnt seem to be working
[22:37] <unop> ilembitov, , what settings?
[22:37] <JC_Denton_> 37 23 * * * ifconfig eth0 down
[22:37] <kushalsejwal> I once mistakenly pressed ctrl+alt+F1 and it took me to a command prompt screen what was it???
[22:37] <Anitox> a command prompt
[22:37] <Anitox> terminal window, etc.
[22:37] <ilembitov> unop: all of them. As if I've booted to Ubuntu for the very first time under this user, only my files stay
[22:37] <ASULutzy1> kushalsejwal: heh, that's tty1, it's your friend. It lets you fix things when X blows up among other things ;)
[22:37] <genii> kushalsejwal: Console 1.
[22:37] <Starnestommy> kushalsejwal: a terminal
[22:38] <a2008> unop : no i haven't . my cpu t2500 and i use only bit part of this!
[22:38] <DarkAudit> Anitox: you're using the laptop's mic?
[22:38] <Anitox> DarkAudit: I've tried the built in mic and one I can plug into the mic spot.
[22:38] <unop> ilembitov, create a new home directory
[22:38] <kushalsejwal> hey is it the same terminal thats there in the application>>Assesories?
[22:38] <genii> kushalsejwal: There are consoles text only on 1 to 6 and then 7 is normally for your X to run in
[22:38] <alraune> Xavura:  as I use ATI two, i paste my xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27568/
[22:38] <Starnestommy> kushalsejwal: it isn't
[22:38] <lmosher> I really liked neverball.. does anyone know any other games that are similarly simple and fun?
[22:38] <kushalsejwal> the?
[22:39] <ilembitov> unop: Uh, I know that way, thought there is a more simple one
[22:39] <kushalsejwal> then?
[22:39] <DarkAudit> Anitox: the level for the mic is turned up in the mixer?
[22:39] <Anitox> DarkAudit: Yes, I can record audio with audacity.
[22:39] <Anitox> DarkAudit: I get an error from the app saying it cannot use the mic.
[22:39] <upd> hi, where can i get list of users and i want to see it which group are they
[22:40] <DarkAudit> Anitox: don't know then... I use a USB headset... sorry
[22:40] <unop> upd,  cat /etc/{passwd,group}
[22:40] <kushalsejwal> whats should I do to return from Console 1 after pressing alt +ctrl +F1?
[22:40] <unop> JC_Denton_, which crontab are you using? yours or roots?
[22:40] <lmosher> kuhyoubical, usually ctrl+alt+f7 (could be f8, f9)
[22:41] <admin_> hey guys, I have a problem with apt with a dependency, happened before and someone explained what to do quickly , possibly with --force, I don't remmber. Here's the pastebin of it http://kubuntu.pastebin.org/51666
[22:41] <Anitox> DarkAudit: in winecfg, Audio, under your ALSA Wave In, does it say your sound card, or something like dsnoop?
[22:41] <JC_Denton_> unop ran crontab as root
[22:41] <gordon__> can someoen tell me how to install java on ubuntu 8.04
[22:41] <alraune> Xavura:  i saved your xorg.conf from the beginning :http://paste.ubuntu.com/27569/
[22:41] <andresj> hey is there a way to make switching from compiz to metacity (to, say, play a 3d game), not disorganize all my windows?
[22:41] <DarkAudit> Anitox: dsnoop
[22:41] <gordon__> can someoen tell me how to install java on ubuntu 8.04
[22:41] <Anitox> DarkAudit: I think that may be the problem. Mine is saying the ID for the sound card.
[22:42] <hostile> hi
[22:42] <kushalsejwal> guys what the command to get back to normal GUI interface after pressing alt+ctrl+F1?
[22:42] <gordon__> can someoen tell me how to install java on ubuntu 8.04
[22:42] <dasy2k1> hi all, cna anyone suggest a script to remove spaces from filenames and replace them with underscores?
[22:42] <lmosher> kuhyoubical, usually ctrl+alt+f7 (could be f8, f9)
[22:42] <hostile> i removed network-manager or nw-applet from my toolbar, how to i re-add it back?
[22:42] <admin_> kushalsejwal: alt-ctrl f7
[22:42] <kushalsejwal> its ask for <myname> login :
[22:42] <dasy2k1> kushalsejwal: ctrl alt f7
[22:42] <admin_> F1's a terminal, usually F7 is where X is running kushalsejwal
[22:42] <DarkAudit> Anitox: this is originally for a USB headset, but see if it helps: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2200220013&sid=1
[22:43] <unop> JC_Denton_, it probably is better if you used /etc/crontab instead
[22:43] <gordon__> hey can someoen pm i got a qwestion
[22:43] <hostile> i removed network-manager or nw-applet from my toolbar, how to i re-add it back?

[22:45] <wols> !tell figmented about anyone
[22:45] <Xavura> So I deleted xorg.conf and restarted like you said
[22:45] <Koolaid> apache2 is telling me that everything is ok
[22:45] <Koolaid> bind9 starts ok
[22:45] <unop> Xavura, right, so what's happening now then?
[22:45] <ilembitov> How do I delete a directory in /home/ ?
[22:45] <kushalsejwal> Is removing/ uninstalling a unneccesary software from Add/Remove application is fine>??? I heard something about Dependency hell!
[22:45] <unop> ilembitov, rm -rf ~/directory

[22:46] <ilembitov> hostile: I've already deleted te user, but his /home dir stays
[22:46] <BobRock> ok
[22:46] <hostile> you can rm -rf /home/dir
[22:46] <unop> Xavura, what display issues ?
[22:46] <ilembitov> hostile: And I can't delete it with sudo rm -rf /home/dir
[22:46] <Xavura> unop: Random lines and boxes around the screen
[22:46] <hostile> do ps -u <user>
[22:47] <hostile> u might have to nuke its proccesses
[22:47] <Xavura> unop: They usually appear when activating menus
[22:47] <hostile> might have to sudo ps -u <user>
[22:47] <kushalsejwal> is my quest, stupid?? ﻿ Is removing/ uninstalling a unneccesary software from Add/Remove application is fine>??? I heard something about Dependency hell!??

[22:47]  * hostile removed network manager applet from the panel/task bar... how do i re-add it back?
[22:48] <alraune> Xavura:  i saved your xorg.conf from the beginning :http://paste.ubuntu.com/27569/
[22:48] <alraune> Xavura:  as I use ATI two, i paste my xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27568/
[22:48] <alraune> Xavura:  driver in your updated conf should be flgrx, what to you want, go back to previous state or keep calm and figure it out , maybe tomorrow ?
[22:48] <ilembitov> hostile: If I just reboot machine and log into another user: will I be able to delete that dir?
[22:48] <unop> Xavura, what driver is xorg using at the moment?
[22:48] <JC_Denton_> unop thanks illgive it a shot
[22:48] <Xavura> alraune: You are the ONLY person who thinks it is flgrx, everyone else says it isn't
[22:48] <Xavura> unop: How would I find out?
[22:48] <hostile> ilembitov: its a simple ps -aux | grep <user> ; kill -9 <pids user is running>
[22:49] <unop> Xavura, less /var/log/Xorg.*.log
[22:49] <unop> Xavura, and have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[22:49] <JC_Denton_> unop it gives me a permission denied
[22:49] <d0m1n0ez> this may be a dumb question, but I am looking for documentation for apache on their website.  I installed apache2, but I am not sure as to what version of apache the install is (ex: 2.0, or 2.2) is there a way to find out?
[22:49] <wols> d0m1n0ez: dpkg -l |grep apache
[22:50] <wols> and there is a docs package for apache too
[22:50] <hostile> damn yo
[22:50] <hostile> how am i going to pick wifi networks if network manager is not in the panel anymore
[22:50] <Xavura> unop: That file is several thousand lines long
[22:50] <hostile> :(
[22:50] <orgthingy> how can I enable "not reply to pings" feature in Firestarter?
[22:50] <Xavura> unop: What am I meant to do with several thousand lines?
[22:50] <unop> JC_Denton_, you might need to use sudo as appropriate
[22:50] <wols> !info apache2-doc
[22:50] <JoAded> why does ubuntu now set /home/USER directories to 700? That really isn't a good thing when people use /home/user/public_html
[22:50] <Palace_Chan> ok is 20 minutes stuck at preparing g++4.2 during build-essential install on a livecd still normal ?
[22:50] <bob3213243_> does anyone know anything about setting up a network printer in hardy? The printer is a Brother MFC-7420 and I can't seem to get it to print even when connected to my computer directly.
[22:50] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: I know there's a better way to find out what driver you're using, but I usually just use compiz-check
[22:50] <unop> JC_Denton_, if you ar editing it .. sudo $EDITOR /etc/crontab
[22:51] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: wget http://blogage.de/files/4359/download -O compiz-check && chmod +x compiz-check && ./compiz-check
[22:51] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: Saw a forum mod post a link to it once and I've used it since ;)
[22:51] <figmented> i'm having permission issues...i would like all files in /var/www/ to have read/write access to user "figmented" via FTP but the user for this folder is "www-data" (i want to keep default settings)...i'm using vsftpd, and it uses the local users as logins. to get what i want: should i try using a different ftp app, change the permissions to allow write access to OTHER, or change the user that apache uses to operate to "figmented"?
[22:51] <linuxkrn> Palace_Chan: no, it should only take a few minutes tops.  Check the output from "dmesg" to see if you have a hardware issue
[22:52] <SliMM> I have managed to us my hands free in Skype, but how can I specify which sound device my computer should generally use?
[22:52] <Palace_Chan> linuxkrn turns out my mouse cursor is frozen...not good
[22:52] <JC_Denton_> unop, thought I was meant to run it, edited it fine :)
[22:52] <Palace_Chan> linuxkrn where does a livecd install stuff anyways ?
[22:52] <Xavura> ASULutzy1: what is that file for and what does it do?
[22:52] <bob3213243> does anyone know anything about setting up a network printer in hardy? The printer is a Brother MFC-7420 and I can't seem to get it to print even when connected to my computer directly.
[22:52] <Xavura> There's something you can do with grep to find out what driver you are using
[22:52] <linuxkrn> Palace_Chan: to a ram filesystem (when you reboot it's all gone)
[22:53] <Xavura> Ok first things first
[22:53] <Xavura> How do I set my keyboard back to en-GB
[22:53] <avis> what type of disklabel would i use in gparted, for a ext3 formatted drive, intended to be a backup drive for a ubuntu only computer ?
[22:53] <mbrigdan> where is a good place to put scripts that I want to run on start up?
[22:53] <Xavura> I might just reinstall, worst OS experience ever
[22:53] <unop> figmented, use groups - place the vsftpd user, www-data and other users in the www-data group and assign permissions to it appropriately
[22:53] <Jordan_U> !boot | mbrigdan
[22:53] <JC_Denton_> unop worked a charm...
[22:53] <Xavura> mbrigdan: there's a special place you can put them where they execute automatically
[22:53] <JC_Denton_> unop thanks
[22:53] <unop> JC_Denton_, yw
[22:54] <JC_Denton_> unop so whats the difference between editing it and runnign crontab?
[22:54] <boston617> hey guys
[22:54] <bob3213243> does anyone know anything about setting a printer up in hardy?
[22:54] <rolf_> is there something special I need to take into account when using xrndr? It always says xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1680x1680 no matter what I put on the Virtual line in my xorg.conf :-/
[22:54] <Xavura> How do I set my keyboard back to en-US? Been as though what you told me to do broke my computer some more?
[22:54] <boston617> nope
[22:54] <Xavura> en-GB
[22:54] <boston617> no u?
[22:54] <rolf_> erm, hi, too :)
[22:54] <hostile> i removed network-manager or nw-applet from my toolbar, how to i re-add it back?
[22:54] <Xavura> Then maybe I could use sudo...
[22:54] <unop> JC_Denton_, well, /etc/crontab is run by root -- so it doesn't make sense to make a another crontab for root - that was the reasoning i took
[22:55] <JC_Denton_> ah, ty
[22:55] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: That tells you what driver you're using, whether it's fglrx or vesa
[22:55] <glitsj16> hostile: isn't there a right-click option to add applets to your panel ?
[22:55] <Xavura> I can't use sudo, hello? How do I change my keyboard layout back to en-GB
[22:55] <hostile> yes but its not in there
[22:55] <hostile> is it in there for you?
[22:55] <ASULutzy1> !attitude | Xavura
[22:55] <RazorBeamz> Every microphone I try is too quiet
[22:55] <glitsj16> hostile: running without panels on xubuntu sorry
[22:55] <unop> Xavura, setxkbmap gb
[22:56] <upd> well i need some help some my friend has a problem when he copy files from mounter cd/dvd on desktop all files get only root acces how fix this ? :/
[22:56] <Babuto> hi i have a problem with my internet connection. I can't ping any website but i can't do anything else. Can anyone help me ?
[22:56] <SliMM> how can I set the device used by the system?
[22:56] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[22:56] <RazorBeamz> How can I fix my microphone so I can hear things I record
[22:56] <Xavura>  Driver in use:         radeon
[22:56] <Xavura>  Rendering method:      AIGLX
[22:56] <Xavura> Does that help?
[22:56] <Babuto> i Can ping but i can't do anything else
[22:56] <cens0red> good moaning
[22:56] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: So you're using the open source radeon driver, not ati's proprietary fglrx driver
[22:57] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: So if you thought you were using fglrx, you're doing it wrong ;)
[22:57] <unop> ASULutzy1, fglrx does not support his model
[22:57] <Xavura> ASULutzy1: Right and that means squat because?
[22:57] <hostile> boo
[22:57] <ASULutzy1> unop, Xavura: Ah, so he has to use radeon? Why not just use vesa?
[22:57] <hostile> i removed network-manager or nw-applet from my toolbar, how to i re-add it back?
[22:57] <dragon_> hellos
[22:57] <RazorBeamz> Does Ubuntu have problems with microphones? Every one I use is too quiet
[22:57] <Xavura> ASULutzy1: I've been using a bit of everything been as though I don't know wtf to do to fix this
[22:57] <Xavura> I've tried every driver
[22:57] <unop> ASULutzy1, errm, because radeon does generally perform better than vesa
[22:57] <m-c> babuto - Have you looked at the network configuration tool in the menu?
[22:58] <alraune> Xavura:  dpkg-reconfigure -a (keyb.)
[22:58] <Xavura> So, really now, I just want to go to bed, what do I need to do to fix this heap of junk?
[22:58] <BlackH007> i want to resize my partitions, but gparted doesn't give me any resize option. How come?
[22:58] <Xavura> alraune: What's that for?
[22:58] <dragon_> one of my ubuntu 8.04 machines wont connect to ethernet just today
[22:58] <upd> how can i run nautitles gtk in terminal ?
[22:58] <alraune> Xavura:  dpkg-reconfigure all, also keyboard layout
[22:58] <unop> Xavura, what screen resolution are you at now?  use xrandr to find out
[22:58] <dragon_> cause your hd is mounted
[22:59] <erichammond> RazorBeamz: Open the volume controller and check the 20 dB boost checkbox (don't have it in front of me)
[22:59] <Xavura> current 1280 x 1024
[22:59] <glitsj16> hostile: it might be the notification area that you want to re-add, right click and see if adding that solves things (getting this from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289459)
[22:59] <m-c> dragon_ - Have you looked at the network configuration tool in the menu?
[22:59] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: So you're not in low graphics mode then, that's a plus
[22:59] <Xavura> Yep
[22:59] <coolness> what in ubuntu is dependant on mozilla?
[22:59] <Xavura> But that doesn't fix the display errors
[22:59] <slayer> xdcc send #0019
[22:59] <unop> Xavura, try a lower resolution.   xrandr -s 1280x768
[22:59] <Xavura> and teh speed
[23:00] <hostile> ok
[23:00] <Xavura> unop: No?
[23:00] <m-c> coolness: you can see this information in synaptic
[23:00] <coolness> i messed my configuration up with swiftfox and have to remove it
[23:00] <unop> Xavura, what do you mean?  no?
[23:00] <dragon_> wired network connection with self assigned address is all i get from my network applet
[23:00] <DarkAudit> there has to be some explination why apt-build install isn't installing the package it just finished compiling...
[23:00] <Xavura> unop: That resolution worked fine since I installed Ubuntu, until alraune started messing around with my xorg.conf
[23:00] <coolness> and i used a script to install it
[23:00] <Xavura> I mean no as in I am not switching resolution, I have used it for years.
[23:00] <hostile> dragon_: how did u add it
[23:00] <zamna> Babuto: can you be more specific?
[23:00] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: alraune didn't do anything to your xorg.conf, you did?
[23:00] <hostile> i removed that NM applet now i cant re-add it
[23:00] <m-c> dragon_ Have you looked at the network tools, ping, etc ?
[23:00] <Xavura> No alraunewas helping me earlier with something
[23:00] <dragon_> it was preloaded
[23:00] <coolness> can i remove everything from firefox
[23:01] <coolness> then reinstall it
[23:01] <m-c> dragon_ They are also in the menu
[23:01] <coolness> my system is pretty hosed right now
[23:01] <DarkAudit> first, dpkg did not properly set up a listing for the local repo in sources.list.d
[23:01] <Xavura> Does it really matter? What do I need to do to fix my 1) lag (refresh rate?) 2) display errors (driver? rendering method?)
[23:01] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: Right, but you were still the one who made the changes, don't blame others :) If you're having this much trouble with the radeon driver, I'd consider just using vesa and be done with it
[23:01] <dragon_> what is in menu?
[23:01] <trivium> xdcc send #0019
[23:01] <unop> Xavura, revert back to the xorg.conf you were using before you started making changes
[23:01] <Xavura> ASULutzy1: err that person pastebinned the file and I just copied it
[23:01] <Xavura> so I didn't make the changes
[23:02] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: Sure you did, you copied them in
[23:02] <Xavura> Whatever
[23:02] <Xavura> unop: I have about 30 backups of the file and I don't know which is which
[23:02] <Xavura> I have been through them all and none of them look right
[23:02] <DarkAudit> even when I corrected that problem by copying apt-build to apt-build.list, apt would still rather download and install the precompiled package as if I did apt-get instead
[23:02] <Xavura> Why does I have to go through all this crap?
[23:02] <Xavura> How hard can it be to fix?
[23:02] <RazorBeamz> Pleas quit ignoring me. I have a microphone problem. I can hardly hear anything I record.
[23:02] <unop> Xavura, each backup has a timestamp attached as the extension -- use that to approximate the time at which you were ok
[23:02] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: Just change the line driver    "radeon" to driver    "vesa" and call it a day. Hard is relative ;)
[23:02] <Xavura> unop: NO they are totally random
[23:03] <m-c> !sound |RazorBeamz
 ,Xavura:  i saved your xorg.conf from the beginning :http://paste.ubuntu.com/27569/
[23:03] <trivium> xdcc remove
[23:03] <BlackH007> gparted: what to do to get the 'resize' option enabled? boot from live-cd?
[23:03] <Xavura> alraune: that ISN'T my original
[23:03] <Xavura> I looked at it
[23:03] <Xavura> it's nothing liek it
[23:03] <unop> Xavura, they are not random - if you used dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure xorg
[23:03] <DarkAudit> apt-cache policy has both the local and remote repositories at level 500.
[23:03] <coolness> sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/bin/firefox sudo rm /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox sudo rm -rf /opt/swiftfox will this remove it?
[23:03] <coolness> and fix things
[23:03] <bobbyd_> hi
[23:03] <Xavura> unop: yes they are I have xorg.conf.1, xorg.conf.2, xorg.conf.3
[23:03] <figmented> how do i view permissions for the group "www-data"?
[23:03] <alraune>  ,Xavura:  it is, from before we started anything today
[23:03] <coolness> i am quite sad and dismayed
[23:03] <mbrigdan> is it possible to change the strength of a DSA key?
[23:04] <Xavura> then I have xorg.conf.timestamp, xorg.conf.timestamp
[23:04] <Xavura> then I have xorg.conf.bak
[23:04] <Xavura> xorg.conf.od
[23:04] <bobbyd_> can I get Gnome to display a context menu when I drop files after dragging them just like KDE does?
[23:04] <unop> Xavura, use the first xorg.conf.timestamp one
[23:04] <hostile> THANK YOU
[23:04] <Xavura> old* Do I d to go on
[23:04] <hostile> THANK YOU
[23:04] <hostile> THANK YOU
[23:04] <FloodBot1> hostile: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:04] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: no, you need to re-generate it.
[23:04] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: alraune says he's got the original xorg.conf saved... Have you tried just using that?
[23:04] <DarkAudit> is the policy where apt is getting confused?
[23:05] <DarkAudit> I'm certain I chose the correct arch for my Athlon 64 x2
[23:05] <Xavura> I'm pretty sure I have
[23:05] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: Thats what I mean, ssh-keygen tells me that a DSA key must be 1024 bits, but I want a stronger one
[23:05] <Xavura> I have a lot of backups and I have tried all fo them
[23:05] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: You could just use the one alraune posted and add Driver    "vesa" in the screen section...
[23:05] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: sure, use -b 2048
[23:05] <Xavura> I will try it but
[23:05] <DarkAudit> apt-build install package is supposed to install the package it *just built*, correct?
[23:05] <Xavura> I GUARANTEE YOU it will not work
[23:05] <Xavura> Then what?
 after that we installed driver from ati-side, which probably messes up with old config, I think
[23:05] <Xavura> This is a **** wild goose chase.
[23:06] <MementoMori> hi
[23:06] <MementoMori> which package has the documentation for posix/kernel API ?
[23:06] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: thats what I tried, it tells me that I can't do that.
[23:06] <unop> Xavura, i think you need to calm down for a bit - this attidude will get you and us nowhere
[23:06] <Starnestommy> MementoMori: probably manpages-dev
[23:06] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: try -b 2048 -t rsa
[23:06] <coolness> help im so angry i messed up
[23:06] <alraune> unop :)
[23:06] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: DSA might be limited
[23:06] <Xavura> unop: This last 16 hours won't get me anywhere either will it?
[23:06] <coolness> swiftfox killed so much
[23:06] <coolness> killed firefox
[23:07] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: that works, so i'm guessing that DSA must be restricted
[23:07] <coolness> all i wanted was the internet why is linux so easy to break
[23:07] <ASULutzy1> Xavura: It's really not that complicated. I would first try using alraune's saved xorg.conf (that he was nice enough to save for you since you didn't make a backup.) and if that doesn't work just add the line Driver    "vesa" in the screen section of xorg.conf and reset X
[23:07] <unop> Xavura, well, you have this situation on your hands -- it's better to deal with it with a cool head
[23:07] <Xavura> Not 16 hours HERE but 16 hours screwing around with this frickin' supposedly easy to use OS
[23:07] <MementoMori> i found them
[23:07] <MementoMori> aptitude install  manpage-posix  manpages-posix-dev
[23:07] <Xavura> Reset X
[23:07] <glitsj16> coolness, linux (the kernel) isn't broken, only your browser
[23:07] <Xavura> If I had a counter it would be in triple digits now
[23:07] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: yeah, I use RSA myself, so guess DSA is
[23:07] <SebNaitsabes> Xvura:  X problems yes?
[23:07] <Xavura> Right I'll try it and I'll be back when it doesn't work
[23:07] <_empemp_> i can't get norwegian layout on my computer running ubuntu 8.04, tried a lot of different settings, anyone knows what i can do?
[23:07] <Xavura> This is pathetic
[23:07] <SebNaitsabes> empemp yes
[23:07] <SebNaitsabes> I got an idea
[23:07] <ASULutzy1> !attitude | Xavura
[23:08] <alraune> xavura: come back tomorrow, 16 hours are likely 12 to much, work with pc, not against :)
[23:08] <coolness> firefox-3.0 is already the newest version.
[23:08] <Xavura> I'm not saying you guys or your answers are pathetic
[23:08] <Xavura> I'm saying THIS
[23:08] <_empemp_> SebNaitsabes: what u suggest?
[23:08] <Xavura> The situation of nothing working for me
[23:08] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: how big is your RSA key? Mine is 16384 bits :P
[23:08] <SebNaitsabes> _empemp_:  add the language thing  to the panel
[23:08] <Xavura> Learn to interpret what people say
[23:08] <coolness> but when i try to run it bash: firefox: command not found
[23:08] <FloodBot1> Xavura: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:08] <Myrtti> Xavura: cool down
[23:08] <_empemp_> SebNaitsabes: tried the most of the settings
[23:08] <Xavura> No.
[23:08] <ASULutzy1> lol well that wasn't bright :)
[23:08] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: lol, no point in going over 4096, it will also effect your ssh speeds with larger keys (just fyi)
[23:08] <SebNaitsabes> _empemp_:  the panel as in the top or bottom bar with a deafult Ubutnu
[23:08] <ASULutzy1> Ok, gotta go to class, take care all :)
[23:09] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: remember, your key is used to encrypt everything, larger key = more cpu cycles = slower ssh/scp
[23:09] <SebNaitsabes> _empemp_: also you can system preferences keyboard  and then go to layout in that
[23:09] <coolness> what is the "better" tool to use aptitude ot apt-get?
[23:09] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: I was told that it woudn't, and I like the security that being told that all the worlds governments working together would need 10-20 years to break my key gives me.
[23:10] <dasy2k1> can somone help me debug this simple bash script http://paste.ubuntu.com/27574/
[23:10] <mbrigdan> *world's
[23:10] <unop> coolness, it depends on the task at hand -- use apt-get whereever possible
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dasy2k1 Please /join #bash
[23:10] <_empemp_> SebNaitsabes: tried all that, still nothing
[23:10] <coolness> ok ty
[23:10] <ASULutzy1> linuxkrn, mbrigdan: I think it scales linearly, around O(n)
[23:10] <dasy2k1> Jack_Sparrow: ok will do
[23:10] <RazorBeamz> I tried everything and my microphone is still quiet and crackly.
[23:10] <SebNaitsabes> _empemp_: you have to add noweigion language into that your self yes
[23:10] <coolness> well here i am fixing firefox well removing anything firefox then reinstalling it
[23:10] <SebNaitsabes> !language
[23:10] <SebNaitsabes> no
[23:10] <SebNaitsabes> not that uhmmmm
[23:10] <_empemp_> SebNaitsabes: it says that i have norwegian language chosen
[23:10] <figmented> is it possible to change the default user "www-data" that apache uses to run its processes?
[23:11] <DarkAudit> the only explanation to why apt-build is not properly installing the package it just built is either a) I forgot to configure something (the likely answer) or b) the automatic configuration of apt-build is completely broken (part of it obviously is). But... I've been talking to myself in here, #kubuntu, and the forums. Google's been no help, either. Am i even in the right *galaxy* to finding a solution here?
[23:11] <_empemp_> still no special characeters
[23:11] <unop> dasy2k1,  file=$(basename $file)
[23:11] <Shpook> How do I keep my laptop from disconnecting from my wireless network when the lid is closed and the screen saver comes on?
[23:11] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: test it out for yourself, doesn't hurt anything to run ssh-keygen.  Also, remember your passphrase is very critical to good security.
[23:11] <SebNaitsabes> and you have to flick between the langauge with the language bar
[23:11] <coolness> i do japanese and english
[23:11] <SebNaitsabes> I got GBR and SWE :)
[23:11] <SebNaitsabes> English and Swedish
[23:12] <linuxkrn> iirc it was more of a OLog(n)
[23:12] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: don't people only need the passphrase if they have the key? I just use the same as my user password, which is reasonably secure. (letters, numbers, symbols, nice length)
[23:12] <coolness> so is firefox2 better than firefox3 for flash movies and youtube and all?
[23:12] <zamna> I know some maya ;-)
[23:12] <Palace_Chan> i finally got ms-sys on the livecd, but when i run ms-sys -m/dev/sda (to fix boot problem with grub error 17) i get no such file found
[23:12] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: I use over 256 characters in my pass"phrase"
[23:12] <Palace_Chan> am i suppose to run that in some particular directory ?
[23:12] <dasy2k1> thanks unop
[23:13] <zamna> coolnes: try reinstalling firefox first
[23:13] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: most governments can't crack > 1024 keys now anyway, they just go after the user for the passphrase
[23:13] <unop> dasy2k1, it's easier to do this.   for i in *.ts; do ffmpeg -i "$i" ..... "${i//.ts/.avi}"; done
[23:13] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: holy crap. o.O Isn't the password useless to anyone that doesn't have the key though?
[23:14] <unop> dasy2k1, ..... meaning the options you are using to ffmpeg
[23:14] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: correct.  This is getting offtopic, go read wiki about pki =)
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Palace_Chan are you mixing ide and sata drives?
[23:14] <coolness> i love synaptic
[23:14] <coolness> it fixed everything for me
[23:14] <Xavura> How the hell do I sudo as someone who I'm not logged in as
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Xavura Please watch the language
[23:14] <coolness> if there are any developers here thank you for such an amazing distribution
[23:14] <dasy2k1> thanks a lot unop i will do it that way
[23:14] <upd> can someone tell me some other file browser like nautiles
[23:14] <__yy_> Xavura: su otherusername , then enter their password
[23:14] <upd> ?
[23:14] <unop> Palace_Chan, why are you using ms-sys - it is no longer supported
[23:14] <Palace_Chan> Jack_Sparrow im not sure i understand that
[23:14] <SebNaitsabes> !language Xavura
[23:14] <zod21> xavura what

[23:19] <phantom> I'm trying to install Photoshop with Wine. Is there any good tut or shal i stop trying.
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> SebNaitsabes Please stop pimping your channel
[23:20] <dragon_> wired network  with self assigned address
[23:20] <SebNaitsabes> heh only my channel as of like yesterday
[23:20] <dragon_> is all i get
[23:20] <dasy2k1> !gimpshop | phantom
[23:20] <DarkAudit> first things first. If I install apt-build, and use the command sudo apt-build install (package), is the locally built package going to be the one installed ot not?
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> phantom yes, /join #winehq  or look in appdb
[23:20] <outofretirement> ubottu feels like an idiot
[23:20] <bob3213243> unop jack_sparrow I downloaded it from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ and I just told it to open with Gdebi and it said it wasn't valid architecture.
[23:20] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: yes, that is how i set up the picture, but it has no ntsc\pal settings, and i know that my tv has to be set to pal-g
[23:20] <dragon_> regardless of if ethernet is pluged in or not
[23:20] <m-c> Is there a good introduction for using icecast2 in Ubuntu?
[23:20] <Palace_Chan> so apparently ms-sys -m will write a windows MBR to device
[23:20] <outofretirement> ok it is ok im sorry for my rude comment
[23:20] <andresj> ubottu: haha
[23:21] <Pici> Please don't abuse the bot.
[23:21] <unop> bob3213243, better to use skype available from the medibuntu repos -- Jack_Sparrow has already shown how to setup skype on ubuntu
[23:21] <dragon_> any one know?
Thanx
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:21] <Kenny> hey there, where is the ubuntu live cd, i cant find it on the website
[23:21] <andresj> i was just laughing at wat happend :)
[23:21] <dragon_> uubuntu is live
[23:21] <bob3213243> unop I missed that then.
[23:21] <dragon_> download the normal cd and it will e live
[23:21] <unop> !skype > bob3213243
[23:21] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: some cards don't support pal, might need to confirm it does with the tech specs.
[23:22] <unop> !grub > Palace_Chan
[23:22] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: i had the same graphic card set up on windows xp before switching to ubuntu
[23:22] <dragon_> *sigh*
[23:22] <unop> Palace_Chan, use grub as we can support you if you use it -- ms-sys is no longer supported
[23:22] <dragon_> what was the more friendly ubuntu club channel again?
[23:22] <Kenny> dragon_ i mean the cd which u dont hav to install, but boot from cd
[23:22] <dragon_> yes kenny
[23:22] <dragon_> the normal download is a live cd
[23:23] <SebNaitsabes> dragon: i'l tell you in private since the mods won't like it if I say again here
[23:23] <Kenny> dragon_ and where is the install cd then?
[23:23] <dasy2k1> Kenny:  they are one and the same
[23:23] <Kenny> dasy2k1: oh, ok....
[23:23] <dasy2k1> Kenny: you run it as a live cd and if you want to install there is an icon on the desktop to do so
[23:24] <DarkAudit> !hello
[23:24] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: ok, then try adding to your xorg.conf nvidia driver section: Option      "TVStandard" "PAL-G"
[23:24] <unop> Kenny, there is an alternate CD which gives you a ncurses based installer
[23:24] <kooldude> does anyone here use ekiga softphone?
[23:24] <up_the_irons> anyone know of a CalDAV program that works on Linux and can access an OS X Calendar Server ?
[23:24] <dragon_> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download kenny
[23:24] <unop> up_the_irons, i'm pretty sure evolution has those capabilities
[23:24] <Beererde> hi. i installed ubuntu server, now i have no graphics environment. how do i start the graphics detection? I installed gnome-desktop-environment
[23:24] <Kenny> where do i check for drivers for my hardware? so i can get them before installing ubuntu
[23:25] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: to what section precisely? i tried adding to a couple of them, and all i got is a blank tv and my own monitor switched to 640x480 and the os forgot i was using nvidia and switched to vesa
[23:25] <unop> Beererde, you need the ubuntu-desktop package
[23:25] <dasy2k1> Kenny:  most of them will be autorecognised unless you have somthing very strange
[23:25] <Beererde> unop: thx
[23:25] <samrose> TheSheep: is there an easy way to install all c-libraries in one shot?
[23:25] <dasy2k1> Kenny:  just boot the cd and see what works out of the box, 90% of harware will
[23:26] <Kenny> dasy2k1: really? dont i need drivers anymore for linux/ubuntu? that would be too good
[23:26] <unop> samrose, libraries for what purpose tho? there are hundreds, if not thousands of them
[23:26] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: needs to go in the "Device" for your card.  Also note that max res using tvout will be 720x480.
[23:26] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: max res on my monitor or on the tv?
[23:26] <Kenny> dasy2k1: where do i check if my hardware works? is there a hardware center, or something?
[23:27] <dasy2k1> Kenny:  all harware needs drivers, just ubuntu is normally cleaver enough to know what dirvers it needs and the first thing it will normally ask is do you wnat to install them
[23:27] <samrose> unop: are there maybe groups of them that can be installed in chunks. I just feel like I am doing it in a slower way by doing them one at a time each time I try to install an application, thoughtmaybe i was missing something
[23:27] <dasy2k1> !hcl | kenny
[23:27] <Gaming4JC> Hmm Anyone know a good SVN GUI that is simple to use?
[23:27] <Koolaid> any one help out with a LAMP Server?
[23:27] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/27583/
[23:27] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: on the TV, it's a limitation of the signal type.
[23:27] <samrose> koolaid: I have one running
[23:27] <noldon> hi i have a question can i edit grub so i have the choise to choose to boot from cd instead of win or lin
[23:27] <Pici> dragon_: Did your networking just stop working today?
[23:27] <Koolaid> nice
[23:27] <samrose> unop: i think it is just a fantasy in my nind
[23:27] <samrose> mind
[23:28] <unop> samrose, if you want to install the necessary libraries to build an application -- just do    sudo apt-get build-dep package_name
[23:28] <figmented> how can you change the default user for apache?
[23:28] <hagus> If anyone seess pavel, could they please tell him that I greatly appreciate his help and expertise.
[23:28] <bobbyd_> noldon: that's usually part of your bios settings
[23:28] <Koolaid> im noobin it a little trying to get one going, i have two sites registered and need to get them up quickly
[23:28] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: i know that, it was the same on the pc. but the last time i was here i got the same advice to add that line to the Device section and everything kind of messed up... maybe it's the wrong section, i have a separate for the tv, as far as i understand xorg.conf
[23:28] <unop> samrose, say if you are building firefox.   sudo apt-get build-dep firefox
[23:28] <Koolaid> i think ive messed up in my dns config some where
[23:28] <Gaming4JC> SVN= "Subversion (Version Control for Source Code)". Is there one from Ubuntu? :)
[23:28] <dasy2k1> noldon: if you bois is set accordingly any bootable cd inserted will boot before it even gets to grub
[23:28] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: it was the same on Windows, i meant to say
[23:28] <alraune> noldon: I never tried, but should work
[23:28] <Kitu> BN
[23:28] <Shpook> Whenever I close my laptop lid, it disconnects from my wireless a few minutes later. Is there a way to change this?
[23:28] <samrose> unop: thanks, will not work with present apphttp://mapnik.org/ but will work with other stuff I am sure
[23:28] <Koolaid> can u pm me samrose?
[23:28] <hagus> pv|l helped me a lot over the last couple of evenings.
[23:29] <hagus> I now have my Vista and Ubuntu back.
[23:29] <noldon> i know i have my bios set to boot from hdd 1st and then from cd/dvd bur cuz of grub he dosnt check if i have a bootable cd
[23:29] <Pici> Gaming4JC: The package name is subversion
[23:29] <samrose> Koolaid: I am going to leave pc soon, so you may want to post question here
[23:29] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: Where is the PAL-G option?
[23:29] <dasy2k1> Shpook:  sounds like your powersaving setting turn off wireless when you suspend (close the lid)
[23:29] <unop> samrose, installing all libraries possible would be extremely ineffecient -- if you are building something exotic, examine their requirements .. ususally the source folder has a README / INSTALL file that dictates what libraries need installing
[23:29] <noldon> maybe i should set to boot from cd firts and then hdd
[23:29] <bobbyd_> Shpook: is the laptop going into suspend
[23:29] <noldon> first
[23:29] <Gaming4JC> Pici: I found that, but I'm also looking for a good GUI
[23:30] <samrose> unop: that makes sense
[23:30] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: there is no pal-g option. it never appeared, not even the ntsc line, nothing
[23:30] <alraune> noldon: I never tried, but should work, you would have to add a line to menu.lst
[23:30] <Soul_Sample> linuxkrn: and wherever i add it, things mess up
[23:30] <dasy2k1> noldon: if you set it to boot from cd first then it will try that, if there is no bootable cd it will boot from HD and load grub
[23:30] <Gaming4JC> I may have found something... bzr is a svn GUI :)
[23:30] <noldon> ok
[23:30] <kooldude> does anyone wan't to chat via ekiga?
[23:30]  * dasy2k1 has left his microphone in the attic
[23:30] <Shpook> dasy2k1, bobbyd_: That's what I was thinking, but it's not going into suspend, just blank screen.
[23:31] <noldon> well but it would be kinda cool to edit menu.lst so i could make the choise in grub
[23:31] <bobbyd_> dasy2k1: is probably right then, I don't know how to sort it out though
[23:31] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: back up your file, then try adding it to the Device section (Videocard0), might also try adding Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
[23:31] <Shpook> Me neither. :-) Thank you though.
[23:31] <pteeb> anyone else open up facebook and the font is all wacked up? i installed msttcorefont package, even tahoma font
[23:32] <DarkAudit> what the bleep am I doing wrong here with apt-build? It *looks* like dpkg set it up correctly, but when I do sudo apt-build install package, the package that just got built is ignored in favor of the regular repository version. What did I miss here??
[23:32] <linuxkrn> Soul_Sample: check the nvidia readme for complete list of options.
[23:33] <Shpook> I made sure my power settings only blank the screen when I close the lid. I don't see an option anywhere for disabling wireless on lid close, but that just in the GUI. I'm sure there's a way behind the scens.

[23:33] <up_the_irons> unop: i've tried Evolution and Thunderbird/Lightning, neither will connect w/o errors to my calendar server, even though i give 'em the same URL that iCal (on OS X) has
[23:33] <Kenny> where is the area for tablet support ?

[23:34] <alraune> noldon: easiest way : maybe i should set to boot from cd firts and then hdd, put in cd or not
[23:34] <Cale> Which package do I install to get a non-beta 3.0 firefox?

[23:35] <debCarlos> Hey! Have anyone here tried Jabber? Is it good?
[23:35] <Palace_Chan> i deleted my linux partition and now i cant boot...i get grub loading.. grub error 17, im on an ubuntu live cd right now, how can i use ms-sys to fix that ?
[23:35] <DarkAudit> unop: that's not the problem. It's after the package is built and ready to install. It's installing from the wrong place.
[23:35] <MattJ> debCarlos: Very good :)
[23:36] <alraune> noldon : shall we try ?
[23:36] <MattJ> debCarlos: Join ##jabber if you like
[23:36] <unop> DarkAudit, your build process creates a .deb file ..  just do.   sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[23:36] <Palace_Chan> like, for partition 1 windows to just boot automatically
[23:36] <linxeh> debCarlos: google talk is jabber
[23:36] <debCarlos> Mattj: Thanks!
[23:36] <linxeh> debCarlos: so lots of people use it
[23:36] <unop> Palace_Chan, how do you expect to boot linux if the partition has been deleted?
[23:36] <noldon> alraune, ?
[23:36] <cdehaan> Hello! I was wondering if anyone could point me to a 'howto' on getting sound functioning in Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS? Sound works out-of-the-box on 8.04 Standard, but I want the sound daemon on a Server install.
[23:36] <Palace_Chan> unop i dont, but i would like windows to boot
[23:36] <ansque> I have a little probem
[23:37] <alraune> noldon : shall we try adding a line to menu.lst ?
[23:37] <noldon> sure
[23:37] <seraphin_> hey
[23:37] <unop> Palace_Chan, please ask in #windows how to repair the MBR and boot record then
[23:37] <seraphin_> i have a question
[23:37] <andresj> hey are there any plans to make the default messenger in ubuntu (pidgin) have video chat support for windows live messenger and/or yahoo?
[23:37] <Palace_Chan> unop alright
[23:37] <DarkAudit> unop: but since my local folder is in sources.list, shouldn't apt-build go there to install the package it just built? Isn't that how apt-build install is supposed to work?
[23:37] <linuxkrn> Palace_Chan: you're going to have to find a windows CD and do a fdisk /mbr or fixmbr
[23:37] <seraphin_> how to prevent ubuntu from downloading/installing kernel updates?
[23:38] <ansque> i Have a problem cause i want compilate rhythmbox 0.11.6 but when I make ./configure i see this: : http://wklej.org/id/4b1f99b920 ? Someone can help me?
[23:38] <mbrigdan> is it possible to encrypt a file with an RSA key?
[23:38] <alraune> noldon : open a terminal as root
[23:38] <unop> DarkAudit, if you are using a local repository -- you must pin it at a higher priority so that packages from it are preferred over ones at the normal repository
[23:38] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: not an ssh key, but using gpg keys yes
[23:38] <unop> DarkAudit, I have no idea what apt-build is or does
[23:39] <zeeeee> i'm trying to get online via wireless, i can "iwlist scan", but i can't seem to get a connection after entering "iwconfig wlan0 essid blah" - any hints?
[23:39] <mbrigdan> linuxkrn: how do I generate a gpg key?
[23:39] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: got a GUI?
[23:39] <alraune> unop ?
[23:40] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: if so, use NetworkManager
[23:40] <unop> mbrigdan, you can use openssl to encrypt a file with RSA encryption -- see its manpage
[23:40] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, i have kubuntu
[23:40] <unop> alraune, yes?
[23:40] <linuxkrn> mbrigdan: gpg --gen-key
[23:40] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, can i still use network manager?
[23:40] <Shpook> zeeeee: try adding an x to the end of the ssid
[23:40] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: Yep
[23:40] <noldon> ok done
[23:40] <alraune> unop : sry messed your name with another, sry
[23:40] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: it should come by default, if not, just install it
[23:41] <alraune> noldon ?
[23:41] <unop> ansque, what version of ubuntu are you on?
[23:41] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, i can't install it because i have no internet :)
[23:41] <ansque> 8.04
[23:41] <ansque> unop: 8.04
[23:41] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: to do it from the command line, you need to make sure the interface is up "ifconfig <interface> up" then get an ip address "dhclient <interface>"
[23:41] <noldon> im in a terminal with root and had vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:41] <zeeeee> Shpook, nope, adding an x to the essid did not work... (dhclient still not getting anything)
[23:42] <Palace_Chan> unop, if i just want xp to boot automatically (im giving my laptop away that's why) is this link still what im after ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[23:42] <unop> ansque, try this command, then attempt to build again.   sudo aptitude install pkg-config; sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox
[23:42] <Palace_Chan> think you gave it to me earlier
[23:42] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, that's the thing, i can't get an ip address via dhclient
[23:42] <alraune> noldon : backup menu-lst first
[23:42] <Cale> Huh, I have the firefox package installed, and it appears to be 3.0.1 beta rather than 3.0 stable.
[23:42] <Shpook> zeeeee: When you enter "iwconfig wlan0 essid blah" try changing "blah" to "blahx" Just add an x to the end of the network name.
[23:42] <zeeeee> Shpook, yes that's what i just tried
[23:42] <Shpook> zeeeee: Oh. Sorry, didn't look up before I hit enter. :-)
[23:42] <alraune> noldon : close vi(m)
[23:42] <upd> okey, one question, when i copy files from some mounted device on desktop files get changed icon to 'locked' what is that ? so if a want write in this files i must change permissions->access->read and write
[23:42] <noldon> why?
[23:43] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: are you sure you've got the right interface?
[23:43] <unop> Palace_Chan, that won't work as grub needs a valid linux /boot partition to save changes relating to chain-loading for windows -- and since you don't have it, you need to either replace the bootloader at the MBR with the windows one or use another 3rd party bootloader -- support for both is beyond this channel
[23:43] <ansque> unop: but in repo is Rhythmbox 0.10.5. I want version 0.10.6 and i have source and I want compilate this source
[23:43] <alraune> noldon : type   : cp /boot/grub/menu.lst  /boot/grub/menu.lstgood
[23:43] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, i think so.  i just see lo, eth0, wmaster0, and wlan0
[23:43] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, i've been working with wlan0
[23:43] <noldon> done that
[23:43] <bobbyd_> do iwconfig on it's own and see which ones have wireless interfaces, just to check :)
[23:43] <unop> ansque, this does not install rhythmbox, it only sets up the build environment so you can successfully build it
[23:44] <linuxkrn> upd: copying from a CD/DVD ROM they will be read-only by default, so yes you have to change them.
[23:44] <alraune> noldon : type   : gedit  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:44] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, that's the only one with wireless interface
[23:44] <ansque> unop: ok, i do what you said
[23:44] <MTecknology> I have ubuntu iso's put into a cdshell iso. I can use "diskemu ubuntu.iso" to launch the iso. It looks like it's going to work ok, but then this happens. http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottestrunningviav2.png  I think what I need to do is make ubuntu look at the iso of itself instead of the cd drive itself. any ideas for how to do that?
[23:44] <noldon> why gedit? i prefer vim
[23:44] <zeeeee> noldon, vim ftw
[23:44] <alraune> noldon : type   : vim  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:44] <noldon> ftw?
[23:44] <zeeeee> noldon, for the win
[23:44] <mbrigdan> what is a good program for encrypting files, using plain symmetric key encryption?
[23:44] <unop> ansque, now, issue a make clean in the source directory.    make clean; ./configure; make ......
[23:44] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: plug in a cable?
[23:45] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, hah
[23:45] <noldon> zeeeee, ?
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> MTecknology If you are trying to install then you are going to have an uphill battle.
[23:45] <unop> mbrigdan, openssl (i already said so)
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[23:45] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, so i guess no more ideas
[23:45] <alraune> noldon : shall we go dialog for longer pastings ?
[23:45] <upd> linuxkrn, can i change this to auto becouse i don't want all time change permissions
[23:45] <noldon> ok
[23:45] <MTecknology> Jack_Sparrow, actually - considering what i've been through - i don't think it can get much steeper
[23:46] <mbrigdan> unop, openssl is for public/private keys, i'm looking for a program where it just protects the files with one key.
[23:46] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: check you're in the right mode (managed) and that you have the right essid, encryption mode, encryption key, channel etc.
[23:46] <linuxkrn> upd: it will copy the file, and permissions, from the source.  Your source on CD/DVD-ROM is always read-only.
[23:46] <d0m1n0ez> How do I change the default www directory location, there is no "DocumentRoot 'blahblah'" in my apache2.conf file
[23:46] <unop> mbrigdan, openssl does non public key encryption too
[23:46] <orangefly> anyone know a reason that hardy would make a dell vostro keep restarting after install....nvidia 8600 video card, if it matters....
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MTecknology usb stick is easier
[23:46] <unop> mbrigdan, man openssl
[23:46] <WelshDragon> How can i kill a process is "killall -s KILL process" isn't killing it?
[23:46] <unop> mbrigdan, http://www.madboa.com/geek/openssl/#encrypt-simple
[23:46] <Guest17345> which is lighter on ram xubuntu or knoppix?
[23:46] <mbrigdan> unop, thanks
[23:46] <genii> xubuntu
[23:47] <MTecknology> Jack_Sparrow, i want multiple versions of linux on one dvd - 4 ubuntu versions and 3 others
[23:47] <Guest17345> thanks
[23:47] <genii> Guest17345: xubuntu, since knoppix uses heavier KDE window manager
[23:47] <Cale> The version which the firefox-3.0 package on my system tells me is "Version: 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1". I just want the "3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1" which was installed before the last update, is there a handy way to tell it I don't want the beta?
[23:47] <clouder`grr> d0m1n0ez: apache2 uses config files for each site, check /etc/apache2/sites-available/default I think it is
[23:47] <unop> WelshDragon, killall -9 process
[23:47] <bobbyd_> d0m1n0ez: sites-available/default
[23:47] <unop> WelshDragon, make sure you have the process name right tho
[23:47] <Guest17345> i'm using xubuntu right now. its my favorite distro so far
[23:48] <Weiss> why does it appear that linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic has moved from 'main' to 'universe' during a very recent apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/27585/
[23:48] <WelshDragon> unop, still doesn't work, process is still running.
[23:48] <SPYderZ> someone pls help me. i installed firefox 2 together with firefox 3 because aptana is only working iwth ff2. so now if i want to launch either one, firefox sais that firefox is already running, but there is no firefox process. what do i do?
[23:48] <unop> d0m1n0ez, clouder`grr, err .. sites in /etc/apache2/sites-available are not enabled .. the ones in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled are
[23:48] <unop> WelshDragon, any errors returned by killall?
[23:49] <d0m1n0ez> oh ok thanks I see the config file, I thought it was in apache2.conf
[23:49] <WelshDragon> Nothing unop, just gives me terminal as if it has been killed, but it's still running.
[23:49] <SPYderZ> anyone?
[23:49] <unop> WelshDragon, use kill on the PID of the process then
[23:49] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, i'm in the right mode, there's no encryption
[23:49] <linuxkrn> udp: if you use the command line, you can override copy attributes with cp --no-preserve=mode
[23:49] <zeeeee> bobbyd_, not sure how to check about the channel and stuff
[23:50] <Guest17345> does anyone know how to change the startup defaults in xubuntu?
[23:50] <WelshDragon> unop: same thing :(
[23:50] <bobbyd_> zeeeee: dunno, it should just work out of the box, connect a cable and install network manager :)
[23:50] <unop> WelshDragon, i assume you tried  kill -9 $PID
[23:50] <unop> ?
[23:50] <andresj> hey is there a way to make switching from compiz to metacity (to, say, play a 3d game), not send all my windows to desktop 1?
[23:50] <SPYderZ> omeone pls help me. i installed firefox 2 together with firefox 3 because aptana is only working iwth ff2. so now if i want to launch either one, firefox sais that firefox is already running, but there is no firefox process. what do i do?
[23:50] <WelshDragon> unop, Yup
[23:50] <unop> WelshDragon,  are you the owner of this process? you might need to use sudo if not
[23:50] <WelshDragon> I'm logged in as root unop
[23:51] <unop> WelshDragon,  ok..   ps aux | grep -i $PID  # lets have a look at this
[23:51] <linuxkrn> SPYderZ: you should setup a different profile for FF2/FF3 to use.
[23:51] <SPYderZ> linuxkrn: how do i do that?
[23:51] <kuhyoubical> has anyone read rute?
[23:52] <linuxkrn> SPYderZ: firefox -ProfileManager
[23:52] <debCarlos> SPYderZ: Werid, did you installed them normally (Without compiling) ?
[23:52] <bobbyd_> andresj: you don't need to disable compiz to play 3d games, or at least I don't
[23:52] <WelshDragon> unop, i got 3 lines outputted, one of them being that process, and 2 other processes aswell.
[23:52] <SPYderZ> linuxkrn: thanks
[23:52] <unop> WelshDragon, put them up on a pastebin
[23:52] <ansque> unop: what i should install if he want glib-2.0?
[23:52] <SPYderZ> and how do i automaticly start it with the profile?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> bobbyd_ Most people do if they want good performance
[23:52] <linuxkrn> SPYderZ: you're welcome
[23:53] <linuxkrn> SPYderZ: firefox -P <your profile name>
[23:53] <WelshDragon> kk
[23:53] <SPYderZ> thanks
[23:53] <andresj> bobbyd_: 1) what Jack_Sparrow said 2) compiz reverts fullscreen games such as sauerbraten to 1024x768 windows, for an unknown reason
[23:53] <troythetechguy> I'm doing a clean install of 8.04, and want a /, /home, swap, and another partition for trying future releases.  How big should I make my partitions?
[23:53] <unop> ansque, look for packages named like this  glib.*-dev    aptitude search glib.*-dev
[23:53] <andresj> i mean, in my system
[23:53] <WelshDragon> unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27588/
[23:54] <andresj> troythetechguy: depends on how much do u have available :)
[23:54] <unop> ansque, and you should find   libglib2.0-dev  listed there (the one you want)
[23:54] <debCarlos> troythetechguy: How much diskpace do you have?
[23:54] <troythetechguy> andresj: Sorry, I forgot that information.  I have a 160GB drive.
[23:54] <meoblast001> hi
[23:55] <meoblast001> i just launched mysql and got "InnoDB: unable to lock ./ibdata1, error:11" what do i do?
[23:55] <unop> WelshDragon, i see you tried using fuser to kill the process that has the socket on port 2711 open .. has that process actually been killed?
[23:55] <unop> WelshDragon, netstat -antp | grep 2711
[23:55] <unop> WelshDragon, again, sudo as needed
[23:55] <debCarlos> troythetechguy: So, you should make a / of 30-40 GB, a swap with 2 GB and give all the remaining to /home
[23:56] <Guest17345> does anyone know how to change the startup defaults in xubuntu?
[23:56] <WelshDragon> unop, So you want me to try killing the process that uses 2711 and then try killing fuser?
[23:56] <andresj> troythetechguy: oh wow well to give you an idea i have a 200GB disk, my / is 90 GB, with 14.18 GB used. my /home is 50 GB with 14 GB used. and swap is supposed to be 1/2 of your physical RAM
 how much ram ?
[23:56] <troythetechguy> ram = 1GB
[23:56] <unop> WelshDragon, well, i'm hoping that fuser will exit once the other process has been terminated
[23:57] <Guest17345> mine is 256
[23:57] <andresj> troythetechguy: although i made 2x times my RAM :P
[23:57] <clouder`grr> is there a new rule of thumb for swap?  I read in a lot of old books it's 2x ram, but that's can't be true nowadays is it?
 2 gig swap
[23:58] <troythetechguy> Thanks all, that helps.  I want to crate 1 partition for use with future releases, do I assign a mount point to this partition?
[23:58] <khsurati> Hey, guys I am new to linux and and need help with something.  Ubuntu's site led me to this. When I try playing dvd in VCL i get a "parental setting" message that wont let me continue.  VCL has no options for parental setting. So i am assuming now that it has something to do with ubuntu. has anyone encountered this?
[23:58] <pYrO1v1aniac> Every so often, my system will freeze (regular intervals) entirely, the mouse will not move, audio systems crawl, flanging, video stops altogether, only for about 4 seconds, then it goes back to normal. This is especially true when viewing in fullscreen. What could be the problem?
[23:58] <unop> clouder`grr, 2x RAM  is still a good idea -- especially if you want to hibernate
 see debCarlos ,at least 10 gig root /
[23:58] <andresj> troythetechguy: shouldnt be necessary if u will not use it right away :) then u can mount it on /mnt or /media/intrepid
[23:58] <WelshDragon> unop, process killed but fuser is still running.
[23:58] <gordon> does anyone no how to install wine doors on ubuntu 8.04
[23:59] <troythetechguy> Good deal.  Thanks again.
[23:59] <WelshDragon> And it still won't kill
[23:59] <unop> WelshDragon, hmm, try killing fuser now
